DURBANVILLE MES: A HOLISTIC APPROACH

Tackling homeless in D’ville ESMÉ ERASMUS

t is only by giving responsibly and not giving handouts that the problem with street people in Durbanville will ever be solved. Franita Knudsen, a fundraiser and marketer for Mould Empower Serve (Mes) Durbanville at its new office, called the D4J Centre of Hope, in the old Lions Club building in Queen Street in Durbanville, urges people to give responsibly. Mes offers a holistic service to street people in Bellville, Parow, Brackenfell and Durbanville. “Homelessness cost Cape Town over R744 million last year. From this enormous amount only 16% was spent on development or long term solutions. We are not solving homelessness; we are maintaining it,” Knudsen warns. “We need to drastically start with a new way of thinking and start giving responsibly,” Knudsen says. Theresa Uys, ward councillor of ward 112, repeats this, saying residents must support Mes and similar organisations and not give handouts directly to street people. “It is unfortunate that this unhealthy lifestyle is supported by caring community members, Uys says on enquiry by TygerBurger. “Last month a donor dropped off seven mattresses at the soccer club informal structures. Two weeks ago a resident dropped off two couches at the same spot. This results in making any interventions to re-integrate and rehabilitate the street people very difficult. It also encourages additional informal structures. The people making the donati-

ons are not there to respond to the complaints from the neighbouring residents,” Uys says. “Mes is one of the organisations which sub council 7 supports to engage with street people,” Uys says. To raise funds for their Christmas lunch for 40 street people, Mes Durbanville is presenting a Thrift Saturday Market on Saturday 5 December from 09:00 to 12:00. People can drop off their previously loved clothes in a good condition at their office at 37 Queen Street from Monday to Friday between 08:00 and 16:00. Knudsen recently became involved with Mes after she worked for the Oakhill Church in Durbanville for 13 years. She quit her work during Covid-19 to focus to her vision “to do more”. “It was at the beginning of 2019 when Pastor Louis du Piesanie from Oakhill Church started a ‘Jesus is more’ course with us,” she says. “I just knew Jesus had more for me as a person. I have been involved at the church for 19 years and of that I was employed for 13 years. I started thinking about ‘being more’,” she says. “For years I have been driving my children to school, noticing the homeless and praying every single morning: ‘Jesus, please keep them warm and fed’. “The thought just came to me: ‘Fran, you always ask Jesus to feed the homeless and keep them warm. What if I am his hands?” “Mes just kept on popping up in my mind and I decided to phone Ilse Maartens, chief executive officer of Mes Cape Town. I just knew I had found my spot,” she says.

“The Mes programme is brilliant. They have been around since 1984, so they know what they are doing. “Funding is the only thing tying their helping hands. To make things worse, the government grant was recently amended due to budget cuts,” she says. Knudsen says although they have been fortunate to received donations of some desks, a chair and two laptops from Persona Consulting & Recruiting, and a kettle from a friend, their office is still in need of other kitchen equipment. They urgently need a freezer and a fridge to keep donated food fresh until it can be given to street people. Knudsen urged people to give responsibly and only give out Mes meal and shelter vouchers to street people. “Nothing else. Our Durbanville residents have good hearts, which make it so incredibly hard to say ‘no’ at a traffic light or to not put bread on the bin, but we are not helping them that way. “All restaurants and shops should have these readily available at pay points, but up until then, people can buy voucher booklets at our D4J Centre of Hope,” she says. There are several ways you can help the programme: . Volunteer your time, serving their clients. . Present a workshop about finances, personal care or a basic skill. . Volunteer your services, such as construction companies. . Sponsor a Grow rehabilitation team; . Donate towards their cause. V Contact Franita Knudsen on 082 440 7055 for more information.

Regsman in hof NIELEN DE KLERK @nielendk

ege jaar gelede was Verna Cloete (42) taamlik sorgvry. Sy’t gewerk as ’n trokbestuurder, het ’n inkomste verdien en het uitgesien na ’n moontlike sakegeleentheid saam met haar man in die toekoms. Maar op ’n dag in Februarie het haar lewe verander toe ’n man glo oor haar voet gery het. In daardie stadium het Cloete se man, Eugene, nie gewerk nie en sy kon nie geld verdien as sy nie kon bestuur nie. Sy’t haar werk en mediese fonds verloor. Maar, wonder bo wonder, het sy nie haar veggees verloor nie. Die man wat glo oor haar voet gery het is die landdros Gerald Hattingh, wat in die Bellville-omgewing werk. Hoewel Verna dadelik ’n saak teen Hattingh gemaak het, het sy saak nooit tot ’n beslissing gekom nie en die nasionale vervolgingsgesag (NVG) het later besluit om nie voort te gaan met die saak nie. Verna en Eugene, wat in Delft bly, het op

Geskiedenis van plase bespreek

verskeie maniere hulp probeer soek. Hulle was verskeie kere by die openbare vervolger, die media, die polisie en by staatsaanklaers, maar Hattingh se saak het halsstarrig gesloer. Uit desperaatheid het hulle toe besluit om AfriForum se private vervolgingseenheid te kontak. “Ek het vir Verna gesê: kom ons try vir Gerrie (Nel).” Nel, wat vir die vervolgingseenheid werk, is bekend vir sy werk in die Oscar Pistorious-saak. Binne twee dae het die eenheid hulle gekontak. Kort voor lank het die NVG die Cloetes gekontak en gesê hulle het wel besluit om met die saak voort te gaan. Vir die eerste keer het dit gevoel of die reg aan hul kant was. Hattingh is met ’n lasbrief bedien en gaan vandag in die hof verskyn. Dit kom nadat dit met ’n vorige hofverskyning uitgestel is omdat die landdros vir Hattingh ken en homself van die saak verskoon het. “Ek het gevoel die wet is nie vir die klein man nie,” sê Verna. “Ons moes na Gerrie toe gegaan het (omdat) die wet ons in die rug gesteek het.”

Pasop vir vals amptenare CARINA ROUX In Januarie vanjaar het die Stad Kaapstad gewaarsku teen skelms wat met die nodige kleredrag en identifikasie hulself voordoen as munisipale werkers wat elektriese infrastruktuur moet nagaan om sodoende toegang tot huise te verkry. Op Woensdag 11 November het ’n egpaar in St. Dumas van die jongste slagoffers geword. Die vrou vertel sy en haar man (albei in die sestig) is eintlik baie veiligheidsbewus. Die man was buite besig toe die twee mans opgedaag het. Albei het ‘‘sekuriteitsbaadjies’’ aangehad en bandjies met identifikasie om hul nekke, asook tweerigtingradio’s en ’n knipbord met papiere, sê die vrou. Die een man het oor die radio gesels om kamtig te bevestig of dit nou die regte huisnommer is waar hulle moet wees. Hul storie was oor die moontlikheid om ’n kragbesparing mee te bring en dat die aantal kragproppe en die skakelbord nagegaan moes word. Die vrou sê die een man is saam met haar in na die skakelbord in die kombuis terwyl haar man saam met die ander een van kamer tot kamer is om die kragproppe te tel. Sy sê sy het heeltyd by die een in die kombuis gesit waar hy op die kas geklim het om bo by die skakelbord by te kom. Sy het aanvanklik geen onraad vermoed nie. Wat haar later wel vreemd opgeval het, was dat die man vier keer genoem het dat die een skakelaar los is nadat haar man ook by die kombuis ingekom het. Sy sê die een man het ’n rugsak gehad, maar hy het nie veel gepraat nie. Uiteindelik is albei baie skielik by die deur uit en dit sonder om te groet, sê die vrou.

TYGERBURGER Durbanville 3

Kort daarna het sy agtergekom haar selfoon, wat in die sitkamer op ’n bank gelê het, is weg. Eers ’n paar dae later het sy ontdek dat verskeie dosies waarin juweliersware was, wat in ’n spieëlkas gebêre was, ook weg is. “My man sê hy weet nie hoe die man dit reggekry het nie, want hy was dan omtrent heeltyd by hom.” Die vrou vermoed dat toe die een man herhaaldelik verwys het na die skakelaar wat los is, dit ’n manier was om hul aandag af te trek. Later daardie selfde dag het ’n vriendin van die vrou haar gewys op die brief in TygerBurger van James Carstens van Goodwood wat oor die skelms waarsku (“Thieving duo on the prowl”, 11/11). Die vrou sê hulle gaan nou nooit weer enige iemand inlaat nie. “Ons was seker te vriendelik en agterna is jy nou kwaad vir jouself.” Terwyl die twee mans in hul huis was, is daar ’n paar keer oor die radio gesels en die een se foon het ook gelui, vertel sy. Dit blyk alles deel te wees van die uitgeslape manier waarop die twee hul “rolle” as munisipale werkers vertolk. “Ons is ongeskonde en dis die belangrikste,” sê die vrou, maar sy wil graag ander waarsku om bedag te wees op die skelms se truuks. Volgens ’n verklaring van die Stad doen amptenare geen deur-tot-deur besoeke nie. Die Stad gaan wel soms elektrisiteitsmeters na, maar sal ’n afspraak vooraf daarvoor met die inwoner bevestig. Alle munisipale werkers moet ’n werkopdragnommer vir ’n spesifieke adres kan verskaf. V Meld verdagte optrede by die Stad se bedroglyn by 0800 323 130 aan.

Die ontstaan van bekende historiese plase in die Durbanville-omgewing word bespreek op die jaarvergadering van die Durbanville-erfenisvereniging op Woensdag 25 November. Die vergadering begin om 19:00 in die saal van die NG kerk Stellenberg op die hoek van Edelweissweg en Moutainviewrylaan. Die spreker is Marius Breytenbach, ’n argeoloog wat die afgelope sewe jaar aktief besig is met navorsing oor die Tygerberg- en Blaauwberg-streke. Hy is tans besig met ’n Ph D-studie oor die

ontwikkeling van die vroegste plase in die Tygerberg- Koeberg-, Blaauwbergen Mosselbankstreek in die Wes-Kaap gedurende die laat 17de en vroeg 18de eeu. “Kom luister gerus na ’n interessante en prikkelende praatjie,” nooi Denise Robinson, voorsitter van die vereniging. Die bestuurskomitee het tydens inperking op Zoom vergader oor nuwe projekte. Kontak Helen Neethling by 083 455 5601 of martineet@gmail.com met navrae.

Kinderhuis wil kuns opveil Die Durbanville-kinderhuis beplan ’n kunsuitstalling in Maart aanstaande jaar, maar benodig skenkings van kunsmateriaal om dit te verwesenlik. Daar word beplan dat die kunswerke van die kinders opgeveil sal word, asook kunswerke van ander kunstenaars. Hulle benodig skilderdoek van die groottes A4, A3 en A2, verf, pastelpotlode, kunspotlode en uitveërs. Daar word ook gesoek na kunstenaars wat hul werk wil skenk.

Mutts show off ‘butts’ at market A

“Mutts with cute butts pa(w)rade” is being presented at the night market of the Durbanville Pet and Craft Market on Friday 4 December. The market is held from 17:00 to 21:00 on the grounds of the Durbanville Presbyterian Church on the corner of Louw and Hafele streets (behind the police station, next to the fire station) in Durbanville. This annual night market has been a tradition in Durbanville for the past 35 years. The mutt parade will start at 18:00 just after registration. All participants will receive a certificate and prizes sponsored by Barking Mad Pet Products, Jock Dog foods, Roxy Living with Diabetes, Pixie Proof and crafters. Just after the parade, a fun auction will be held in aid of the charity organisati-

ons. Afro Beat Drumming Circle will be having drumming sessions throughout the evening. The Durbanville Craft Market is one of the oldest craft markets in the Cape and the only monthly market focused on animals and charities – all fees are applied towards charity. “Although we are not affiliated to the Durbanville Presbyterian Church, we are very grateful for being able to use their premises every month in exchange for donating all fees to use for their charity and welfare outreaches,” says Anni Theron, chairperson of the craft market committee. There are seven animal charity organisations which are permanent members, having stalls at no charge at the market, to do fundraising for their respective organisations. This includes The Hope Foundation for

The prizewinner of the mutt parade at the market on 7 November was Frankie, here with Megan Bruiners, a volunteer of Imagine Animal Dreams in Joostenberg Vlakte, and a sponsor, Joss Terry of Barking Mad Pet Products. Frankie is available for adoption.

Cats, Imagine Animal Dreams, Capetonians against Animal Abuse and Uitsig Animal Rescue Centre. The Lucky Lucy Foundation will present microchipping at only R100 per pet. “In our craft section, only handmade crafts made from a home base qualify, giving visitors the opportunity to browse through unique gifts at the market. With the focus on pets and their well-being, we try to offer something different at every market for the benefit of pet owners. Unfortunately we are an outdoor market and events are dependent on weather,” she says. New crafters are welcome. Covid-19 precautions will be in place.

Cyber fraud increase ESMÉ ERASMUS

he Durbanville police warned residents of an increase in internet fraud cases in Durbanville area. In one case a Durbanville resident bought three kittens to the value of R102 000 over the internet, and never received his kittens, says Capt Marchell Rhode, spokesperson for Durbanville police. “A case of fraud is being investigated by the police,” he says. “Before doing any business on the internet, make sure the seller’s credentials and history is legitimate. Vehicles are also being sold or bought over the internet and the suspects are using Uber drivers to fetch the vehicles. This makes it difficult to trace or ar-

rest the suspects. People should be wary if a transaction seems dodgy,” he says. Rhode warns people against doing business over the internet to refrain from paying money to unknown people before they have not checked the person’s credentials. He says people must go into sellers’ profiles on online sites such as Gumtree. “They can check if the seller is a regular client and how long the client has been registered on the site,” he says. “People must also check at their own bank if the funds were actually paid into their account, regardless if they have received a notice of payment by SMS. Rather wait two or three days and make sure the payment shows in your account before you hand over the item,” he warns.

Man vas oor spoorlynstukke ’n Man is verlede Maandag in Fisantekraal met gesteelde metaalhegstukke van Transnet in sy besit betrap. Wetstoepassingbeamptes van die Stad Kaapstad het die 22-jarige man omstreeks 11:00 in hegtenis geneem toe hulle hom by ’n tweedehandsebande-onderneming met die gesteelde stukke metaal gekry het. Volgens kapt. Marchell Rhode, woordvoerder van die Durbanville-polisie, behoort die hegstukke aan Transnet. “Verskeie stukke metaal, wat die spore van die spoorlyne vasheg, is in sy besit gevind. Hy is aangekla van die besit van gesteelde eiendom,” sê Rhode. Die verdagte het in die Bellville-landdroshof verskyn.

’n Wetstoepassingsbeampte pak die gesteelde metaalstukke uit.

ie Diemersdal-wynlandgoed van Durbanville het die 2020-wynkalender op ’n hoë noot afgesluit met nóg welslae – hierdie keer in beide die Veritas-wyntoekennings en Platter’s-wyngids. Dit kom nadat Diemersdal vanjaar reeds verskeie toppryse vir sy wit én rooi wyn opgeraap het. Die kelder is onder meer vir die negende keer as een van die suksesvolste wynmakers in die jaarlikse Absa Top10-Pinotage-toekennings vereer vir sy The Journal Pinotage 2018. Diemersdal Pinotage 2019 het ook ’n platinummedalje in die Michelangelo International Wine & Spirits Awards gewen – een van slegs 24 wyne wat dié hoogste prestasie behaal het. Boonop is Diemersdal se nou reeds veelbekroonde Diemersdal Winter Ferment Sauvignon Blanc se 2020-oesjaar vir die vierde keer – eintlik elke jaar sedert dit in 2107 bekend gestel is – as een van die wenners van die 2020 FNB Sauvignon Blanc Top10-kompetisie aangekondig. Diemersdal het ook vroeër vanjaar die trofee ontvang vir beste sauvignon blanc-wyn in vanjaar se Michelangelo International Wine & Spirits Awards vir dié wyn. In sy jongste prestasies het die kelder in een week twee dubbelgoud-medaljes by die Veritas-wyntoekennings, asook drie vyfster-erkennings losgeslaan in die Platter’s Wine Guide vir 2021. Die Veritas-dubbelgoud is toegeken aan Diemersdal se twee staatmakers, The Journal Pinotage 2018, asook Winter Ferment Sauvignon Blanc 2020. Die vyfster-toekennings in die Platter’s Wine Guide is vir die Diemersdal The Journal Sauvignon Blanc 2019, ’n gehoute sauvignon blanc in die nuwe The Journal-wynreeks, wat vroeër vanjaar die lig gesien het. Dan het Diemersdal se pinotage weer geseëvier met twee vyfster-toekennings – een vir The Journal Pinotage 2018 en die Die-

Thys Louw, die sesde geslag Louw aan die stuur van Diemersdal, sê hierdie erkennings van Veritas en die Platter’s Wine Guide, verleen ’n silwer randjie aan ’n ietwat somber jaar vir die wynbedryf weens die gevolge van die Covid-19-pandemie. “Die Suid-Afrikaanse wynbedryf het weer gewys wat in sy pype sit,” meen Louw. “Ondanks die ontwrigtings, het die wynmakers aangehou om goeie wyne te maak en die kompetisie-organiseerders het als ingesit om te sorg dat hul geleenthede voortgaan om erkenning te gee aan produsente se harde werk en die algehele puik standaard van die land se wyne.” Louw sê dit is vir hom en sy span ’n groot eer om te sien dat Diemersdal die jaar op ’n hoë noot afsluit met erkenning deur twee vername wyninstansies.

“Veritas bly een van die land se voorste kompetisies vir ’n wynmaker om in te seëvier, en ons beskou die twee dubbelgoud-medaljes as ’n puik prestasie aangesien Veritas bekend is vir sy hoë standaard van beoordeling,” sê hy. Hierdie stelling word bewys deurdat slegs agt sauvignon blanc- en vier pinotage-wyne met Veritas se dubbelgoud-medaljes bekroon is in vanjaar se kompetisie. Diemersdal het ’n dubbele triomf behaal deur in elkeen van hierdie kategorieë dubbelgoud te behaal. “Net soos by Veritas, was dit sauvignon blanc- en pinotage-wyne wat by Platter’s die erkenning gekry het,” sê Louw. “Dit is veral verblydend dat ons fokus op die maak van ’n verskeidenheid sauvignon blanc-wyne – my gunsteling wynsoort, deur die verskillende beoordelaars geprys is,” sê hy.

Kinders leer entrepreneurskap aanlyn ESMÉ ERASMUS

Die groepie jong entrepreneurs is (agter van links) Emma Vieyra, Jarto Grobler en Kian Lombard by Yolanda Grobler, stigter van RaisingBrightness. Voor is Lienke Grobler en Anika Loubser.

ir vyf kinders van Durbanville het die term entrepreneurskap ’n nuwe betekenis gekry nadat hulle ’n aanlyn kursus daarin voltooi het. Al vyf, almal leerders aan die Laerskool Durbanville, het hul eie unieke, klein besighede begin waarin hulle van macaroons en koekballe (“cake pops”) verkoop tot met mense se honde gaan stap. ’n Ander is besig om ’n storiereeks te skryf en nog een maak kunstige verjaarsdagkaartjies. Die leerders is almal verbonde aan RaisingBrightness, ’n aanlyn leerplatform wat ’n plaaslike arbeidsterapeut, Yolanda Grobler, in 2018 begin het. Volgens Grobler het sy tydens inperking die eerste entrepreneurskapkursus op die leerplatform aangebied. “Dit is ’n 12 weke lange kursus. Dit kan alleen aangepak word deur middel van ons werkboek en video’s wat vroeg 2021 op ons platform beskikbaar sal wees,” sê sy.

Grobler het RaisingBrightness in 2018 begin toe sy video’s van die nuwe Caps-kurrikulum vir visuele leerders begin maak het. “Ons het vinnig besef dit gaan nie net oor visuele leerders nie, maar ook oor ouers wat oorweldig is met die leerwerk van die kinders. So RaisingBrightness som die Capskurrikulum in videoformaat op. Ons het tans materiaal vir graad 4 tot 6 aanlyn beskikbaar,” sê sy. Volgens Grobler het hulle tans meer as 5 000 aktiewe gebruikers. “Die visie van RaisingBrightness is ‘to raise them bright’, so ons het begin met ’n alternatiewe manier van leer vir kinders en het nou in 2020 na ons entrepreneurskapskursus uitgebrei, wat ons vroeg volgende jaar aanlyn beskikbaar gaan hê vir alle kinders in Suid-Afrika,” sê sy.

Journalist bags VJOY for opinions Samantha Lee-Jacobs (28), a journalist at TygerBurger’s sister publication in the southern suburbs, People’s Post, has bagged the national award in the opinions category at the 2020 Vodacom Journalist of the Year awards (VJOY’s). The awards ceremony was held virtually on Friday 20 November where Lee-Jacobs represented the Western Cape region after winning the regional opinion category award at the regional virtual awards ceremony on Wednesday 11 November. The awards seek to recognise journalism excellence in the country across 12 categories. In its 19th year, the competition received a record number of 1 300 entries. Lee-Jacobs’s win was accredited to three columns published in both People’s Post (“Please just stop asking ‘when’ ”, “Breaking silence”) and TygerBurger (“Think twice before driving drunk”). The judges’ citation is: “Entries in this category covered many issues, mainly political but also the economy, sports and even religion. Many of these entries – while being well-written – offered views that were common in society and did not bring anything fresh to the debate at either a national or provincial level. Our national winner displayed a skill taking seemingly small issues and relating them to some of society’s important concerns such as sexual assault, peer pressure and drunk driving.” Lee-Jacobs says: “In writing these columns, I was able to share a bit of myself, my personal life and my own experiences with some of society’s social ills with our readers. This was also the first time I had ever spoken out about a personal encounter with sexual assault which empowered me to help others. As community journalists, we have a special role to play in connecting with readers, while sharing news and views that matter. Having won awards for telling people’s inspiring stories before, it was especially amazing and a great honour to be awarded for the vulnerability in sharing my own story.” Thulani Magazi, People’s Post editor, praised Lee-Jacobs for the achievement. “Well done, Sammy. This wonderful accomplishment is an excellent stamp of approval on what community journalism is all about. You have consistently showed and proved that community journalism is truly alive by regularly collecting awards,” says Magazi. “Walking away with a national award against some of the country’s finest writers and newspapers is a huge achievement. We are truly proud of your achievement as it not only puts your name on the South African media landscape, but our beloved People’s Post too. Congratulations! Continue doing what you do best and love most.”

Brackenfell violence, an issue for serious deliberation Any cause, no matter how worthy, will be destroyed if addressed by the EFF because of their proclivity for mayhem and violence. This protest, about a private function for matric learners from Brackenfell high school, on racial and economic grounds, should have been dealt with by people with sober minds and a clear vision for our future, and not by a bunch of political opportunists. Gatherings organised on racial and socio-economic lines merely perpetuate the myth of racial superiority and looks disparagingly on people, who are not economically well off. The fact that the function was organised for about only 20% white students of the matric class suggests that people of colour were excluded along with whites who could not afford the function. This decision by the parents to organise a

function on racial and economic grounds is a shame because it will make children who were excluded feel like outcasts. This myopic decision will have a damaging impact on the matric class of 2020 in Brackenfell High. It will be a year that they wouldn’t want to remember. The ideal would have been for all the learners, regardless of race or socio-economic status, to celebrate together. The violence that erupted in front of the school is lamentable because, firstly, it must have affected the learners, who were busy writing their exams and because they were not entirely responsible for organising the function; secondly, the violence ignored an issue that needed the attention of every thinking citizen that desires to live in a truly non-racial and nondiscriminatory society. The issue, as I understand it, is that a group of parents

organised a private celebration for matriculants, outside the school grounds on racial lines and invited the educators to the function, without any consideration for the feelings of the learners that were excluded, regardless of their colour. The response from the school was that they had nothing to do with organising the function, so they felt exonerated by the racial tone of such a gathering. The MEC for education, Debbie Schaeffer, came out in defence of the educators, who attended the function because she felt that the educators were unaware that the celebration was based on racial lines. This defence is utterly cras, unless the educators were totally blind. Such a response from the MEC could only be explained either on her ignorance about the impact such racial gatherings will have on the

Fisantekraal neglected I am a community keeper in Fisantekraal and my main focus is service delivery and crime prevention. Since 2015 I am the moderator and administrator of the Facebook page, Greenville Fisantekraal Community, and a WhatsApp crime prevention group. My daily tasks and interaction with my community did not start yesterday as I have been a police officer for 18 years and know this community since the 90s and uphold the safety of my neighbours. During this time I have noticed a lack of services and law enforcement agencies in and around my community. Likewise, people always reach out to social media to raise their concerns and as a fellow member I have tried my utmost to assist them.

During lockdown I have noticed the flooding of requests for assistance with Covid-19, Sassa grants, Eskom, police misconduct, City of Cape Town water-related sewerage problems, potholes and general enquiries. I always do proper research and give feedback. We have been targeted with a flood of crime related incidents such as murder, house robbery, armed robbery, contact crimes and even a case in which the mutilated body of a woman was found. Just a month ago, Fisantekraal was pointed out as the area with the highest crime rate in Durbanville in TygerBurger. Our people get robbed daily en route to their workplaces. The City’s electricity department refuses to render

minds of young and impressionable learners when they grow up to be adults or that she sees nothing wrong in racial gatherings. On the other hand, she could be pandering to the salivating appetite of her racist followers. If she is guilty of any of the above, she should resign. The MEC, the educators who attended and the school must understand one thing, and that is: children are not born racist, it is ingrained into them from their bigoted and racist parents at home. The question that should be on the top of everyone’s mind is: if children of all colours learn and play together, as part of the school’s and department of education’s creed, why did they have a celebration on racial and socio-economic lines? This question must lay heavily on the minds of children of colour, as well as their parents. EV RAPITI

Screening concerns at hospital RICHARD ROBERTS @richardjohn_rj

ygerberg Hospital confirmed that it was made aware of a complaint that screening for Covid-19 symptoms are apparently not conducted at one of its entrances. TygerBurger recently received a complaint from a resident in Kraaifontein, informing the newspaper about the matter. The resident, who wishes to remain anonymous, suffers from cancer and visits the hospital’s cancer unit at the Gene Louw Building regularly for check-ups. Her last visit was on Friday 6 October. “I got there at 05:45 and at the entrance

there was nobody on duty to screen patients,” the resident says. She brought this to the attention of some of the staff, but claims that it seemed no one was bothered by it. “How would they know if infected persons are entering the facility? And with a warning of a second wave, is this not negligence on the part of the hospital? Are cancer patients not also high risk? At all the other entrances temperatures are taken, but not at the cancer unit.” The patient says she has also tried calling the hospital to lodge a complaint, but claims no one answers the phone. Laticia Pienaar, hospital spokesperson, confirmed last week that the hospital had been made aware of the matter and ex-

plained the current procedures taken at the facility. “At the peak of the pandemic, screening was done by staff members at the Gene Louw Building, but when the numbers were declining and visitation was still restricted, the staff members were withdrawn to go back to their clinical areas. “The screening was left to be done by the security guards but there were challenges in that screening is not the core function of the security guard. We are in a process of securing the services of the volunteers to assist with screening at the entrances,” Pienaar says. The 68-year-old patient says she is now wary of going for her next check-up on Tues-

day 1 December. “I have breast cancer, as well as multiple myeloma so my immune system is heavily compromised. I do not know if anyone in authority has been made aware of this nonscreening,” the patient says. Pienaar however explained that the current screening process for patients who visit the cancer facility is done on a booking system. “When they arrive at the unit, they must be checked for the wearing of masks, and then screened for temperature and hand sanitiser applied at the main entrance. When they get to their specific clinics, they must be fully screened for temperature and symptoms by the clinical staff,” Pienaar explains.

Tuffy sets the example

Lock it down

NIELEN DE KLERK @nielendk Alan Winde, the premier of the Western Cape, paid a visit to Tuffy’s plant in Stikland on Monday. “One of my big focuses as premier is crime, and crime and grime go together,” he said. His visit coincided with the 10-yearanniversary of the start of GreenCape, an investment initiative he helped start. Winde praised the company’s apprenticeship programme and said more of these are neccessary for a growing, stable economy. Billy Oosthuizen, MD of Tuffy, and Justin Smith, head of business development at the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), were both at the event. Tuffy donates a percentage of every bag sold to the WWF and has committed to this for 30 years. Oosthuizen said their credo was to be “softer on the world” and that they believe strongly in make, use, reuse, remake and recycle. In essence, they’re using trash to make trash bags.

Eerste dokter van haar soort in Wes-Kaap MARITA MEYER

eur die jare wat dr. Marlena du Toit as ginekoloog en verloskundige in Bellville gepraktiseer het, het sy duisende pasiënte ondersoek en suksesvol behandel vir ’n legio vrouekwale. Tog het iets haar gepla: sy het nie ’n antwoord gehad vir die vroue wat probleme met hul seksuele gesondheid gehad het nie. “Ná ’n lang soektog het ek die wonderlike veld van seksuele medisyne ontdek. Die probleem was dat dit nie beskore was vir die vroue in Suid-Afrika nie. In Europa en die VSA was die veld besig om te groei, maar in ons land was daar net ’n paar mense (meestal omstrede) wat in die openbaar oor hierdie taboe onderwerp gepraat

het. Ginekoloë en uroloë praat veral nie oor seks en verwante onderwerpe nie,” sê Marlena. Haar soektog het haar gelei na die Europese Skool van Seksuele Medisyne, wat slegs een keer per jaar oor ’n periode van tien dae in Hongarye aangebied word. “Dit was in 2018 en ek het gedink dit sal onmoontlik wees om dit by te woon – dit sou ’n allemintige €2 400 (vandag byna R48 000) kos! “Maar God se genade is groot en in Julie 2018 het ek ’n internasionale beurs gekry om die skool te gaan bywoon,” sê sy. In November 2018 het sy, “skool-

Tuinmark by kerk gehou

bank-styl”, in Boedapest klas gedraf en meer oor dié onderwerp geleer. Terug in SA het sy ’n jaar lank gevallestudies gedoen, wat sy by die Europese raad moes indien om vir die finale eksamen gekeur te word. “Op 23 Januarie vanjaar het ek in die yskoue Praag die eksamen afgelê en op 4 Februarie gehoor dat ek geslaag het. “Ek is nou geregistreer om te praktiseer in die veld van seksuele medisyne en is by die Europese raad geakkrediteer.” Daar is tans slegs tien mense in die land wat met dié kwalifikasie kan spog, waarvan dr. Etienne Kok die bekendste een is. Marlena is die eerste ginekoloog in die Wes-Kaap wat die veld van seksuele medisyne betree het. Sy tree gereeld as spreker by geleenthede op. Sy het die vermoë om die mediese studies en modelle in “gewone taal” aan ’n mens oor te dra. “Ek hoop om met my praatjie(s) vroue vry te maak van die mites van seks, om vroue wat fisiek seer het, se pyn te verlig en om vroue te help wat emosioneel skade gely het as gevolg van seksuele dade.”

Die Durbanville-gemeente hou op Vrydag 27 November ’n tuinmark met talle stalletjies wat van fudge tot dekor-artikels gaan verkoop. Stalletjies sal kos, kuns, boeke, koffie, speelgoed, geskenke en juweliersware verkoop. Die tuinmark word van 13:00 tot 18:00 in die tuin van die NG kerk Durbanville op die hoek van Kerkstraat en Weyerslaan aangebied. Volgens Jackie Pretorius van die kerk sal talle gemeenskapsinstansies soos die Durbanvillekinderhuis, Aristea-aftreeoord, Laerskool Durbanville en Uitsig Animal Rescue Centre stalletjies hê en is dit ’n geleentheid vir hierdie instansies om geld in te samel.

“Die mark is ’n lekker gemeenskapsprojek om ons dorp en sy mense te ondersteun,” sê sy. Uitstallers en entrepreneurs van die omgewing gaan ook allerlei lekkernye soos fudge en basaarpoeding, asook klere, handwerkartikels, skilderye, witolifante en dekor-artikels verkoop. Vir die kinders is daar speletjies, ’n tuimeltrein (“roller coaster”) en draairoomys om aan te smul. Covid-19-protokol sal geld en almal moet maskers dra en saniteer. Slegs 230 mense sal op ’n keer by die mark toegelaat word. V Skakel die kerkkantoor by 021 975 6370 of 082 779 3356 of 079 249 0666 vir navrae.

Summer safety tips for parents T

he summer holidays are around the corner and with the weather getting warmer, many families may be heading outdoors - whether at home or elsewhere - to enjoy activities together. Unfortunately, many common summer activities end up in accidents within a few seconds, which may have a lasting traumatic impact on all. “Most accidents that put children in the emergency room during the summer and festive season are preventable,” says leading paediatrician at Cape Gate Mediclinic and Paed-IQ BabyLine CEO, Dr Iqbal Karbanee. “Unfortunately, many common and fun family activities during the summer months can quickly take a turn for the worse and end in injury. Others can have lasting and traumatic consequences for families,” says Karbanee.

Child safety at home Examples of such activities include a trip to the beach or the local swimming pool, a home-based braai where there is a wood fire or paraffin burner that can fall over and cause a fire, or even bicycle or scooter rides. The ChildSafe Initiative in South Africa suggests that 80% of child injuries occur in or around the home and while many children are hospitalised, hundreds more end up visiting the emergency room and thousands more go to clinics and doctors. Karbanee says it is difficult to count the cost of treating preventable accidents in children, whether as once-off hospital visits or the longer-term costs of prolonged treatment and rehabilitation. It can cost up to as much as R500 000 when skin grafting or plastic surgery is required, which can be as a result of a burn.

The Child Gauge Report 2019 suggests that more than 8 000 children die every year as a result of injuries. About 5 000 of these are accidental or unintentional, with leading causes being road traffic injuries, burns and drownings. Globally, it is estimated that one million families lose a child to a preventable injury every year. “Reducing the number of preventable accidents is therefore a healthcare priority that should be observed by all parents and caregivers, especially during the summer months,” says Karbanee. Trampolines are great ways for kids to use up excess energy, but they are simply too dangerous. Children’s bones are still developing and experiencing an injury whether through a broken or fractured bone can set them back developmentally. Serious injuries related to the brain or spine can occur. If you are gifting your child or children a trampoline over the festive season, or if you already have a trampoline at home, there are ways you can lessen the risks associated with the equipment. Always make sure there is adult supervision and only one child at a time should be on the trampoline. No children under the age of six should be allowed to jump and it is the parent’s responsibility to ensure that strict rules are enforced.

if these places are busy. Make sure you and your child have a plan should they become separated from you and how they can look for help. Older children should be able to memorise your cell number. Drownings are known as silent killers because children are unable to shout for help and they are among the most common preventable accidents that can happen in seconds. A drowning can happen in a few centimetres of water. Life jackets are a must if you want to boat, canoe, or jet ski with your kids or even just spend time near a body of water. Never leave a child unattended near water and consider hiring a lifeguard to keep watch over the kids in the pool if you are having a gathering or party with several children in attendance. Dog bites are a major cause of preventable traumatic injury in children. Too often what starts as a peaceful or exciting family day out turns into a horror story involving a dog attack, with the victims mostly being children who can sustain severe injuries. Teach your children to not go near a dog who is off leash or without a muzzle, and to not put their face close to the dog’s, even if it is a trusted family pet. If the dog runs up to the child or a family on the beach or elsewhere, children should not reach out to pat the dog, even if it looks cute. Wood fires are common in South Africa during summer. They are dangerous to children if unattended, as children are nat-

urally curious and may want to see what happens when they throw things into the fire. The smoke also poses a danger to young respiratory systems as they are still developing, even more so if the children suffer from asthma or allergies. Put fireplace tools and accessories out of a young child’s reach and keep a fire extinguisher on hand. It may seem obvious, but never leave children unsupervised with candles, paraffin burners or outdoor wood fires. If an accident does happen, never apply any butter or other food onto a burn.

Outdoor activities Playgrounds and parks are good to get kids to play outdoors, but be careful of hot slides and poorly maintained equipment that may have rusty nails or sharp hooks. Hot equipment can burn bodies and sharp objects can tear skin, which may require tetanus shots. Also remember to put sunscreen on your child of no less than SPF 50 when spending time outdoors. Bikes, scooters, skateboards and other wheelie toys are fun for children but should not be used near moving traffic. Traffic-related accidents are among the highest preventable accidents for children. Protective gear like helmets or shin or knee pads can go a long way in preventing injuries, whether only scrapes and bruises or more severe. “And if the worst happens, you don’t know what to do and you are struggling to assess whether a doctor’s visit or a trip to the emergency room is indeed necessary, it may be a good idea to make use of a telephonic advice service with trained nurses that can quickly and cheaply help you assess the severity of the situation,” concludes Karbanee.

Be wary of criminals when shopping NIELEN DE KLERK @nielendk

he safest way of spending money during Black Friday is by shopping online, a security expert says. Hennie Groenewald, spokesperson of Bassett Security, says this would help curb the spread of Covid-19. Yet, there’s definitely been a rise in the families and shoppers who are out and about, says Charnel Hattingh, head of marketing and communications for Fidelity Services Group. Unfortunately the rejuvenation of in-person shopping also means that criminals have returned, waiting for easy pickings.

Reasons and tips Hattingh and Groenewald give the following reasons for increased crime and tips to prevent it: . “There are a lot of people in one area which makes it easy for them to disappear into the crowd once they have stolen your handbag or shoplifted,” Hattingh says. . “Women with children are often distracted,” Hattingh says. Once they turn away from their trolleys with their handbags, albeit for only two seconds, a criminal has enough time to pounce. . Criminals blend in. “Women use children to steal cellphones, handbags and the likes, especially

in restaurants where they are ‘innocently’ waiting to be served,” Hattingh says. After committing the crime they easily join the busy crowd again and blend in. . There are many ATM machines where the “good Samaritans” who offer to help when the ATM is suddenly giving trouble are actually helping themselves to your bank card and pin. “Before you know it, thousands could be withdrawn from your account,” Hattingh says. . “Parking areas are large, offering criminals a chance to sit in a car and identify their next target without looking suspicious. This could be a woman alone or with children or an elderly person,” Hattingh says. . It is easy to sit in a car and remote jam cars. Always check your car is in fact locked before walking away. Groenewald emphasises this means physically feeling the car’s door with your hand to see whether it is locked. . It is easy to follow someone who is going to deposit or withdraw a large amount of money at a bank in a mall without them realising it. . Hattingh says shoppers are generally careless with their valuables – “handbags hung over chairs at restaurants, cellphones on the table, etc. A criminal will not hesitate to grab your belongings and be gone in a matter of seconds”. Groe-

newald says shoppers should also keep valuables in cars out of sight, or better, out of the car. Don’t walk with your cellphone in your bag or in your pocket, he adds. . According to Hattingh most people don’t notice what’s going on around them. “Always take note of your surroundings, especially when you are walking back to your car. Check where the car guard or a security guard is and signal for help immediately if you are suddenly approached by a stranger.” Groenwald says to keep an eye out for any suspicious vehicles parked close to your car – this can help prevent a robbery. . Another disturbing trend is when criminals dress up as beggars or hawkers as people are used to them, Hattingh explains. “Criminals are masters of disguise and will use any means possible to get what they want. Do not speak to strangers and if anyone is making you feel uncomfortable, go to a security guard and report them.” . Masks are a problem. As everyone, including criminals, need to wear a mask, be extra cautious about the people around you. . Groenewald says if you need to go out, try to do all your shopping at once and don’t spread out your shopping spree over multiple days and trips. This will reduce the number of times you may encounter criminals.

Inwoners fnuik diefstal NIELEN DE KLERK @nielendk Inwoners van Glen Ive het verlede week saamgewerk om ’n dief te vang. Volgens Alet du Preez, hoof van die Stellenberg-buurtwag, het Sean Johannson, ’n inwoner, om 00:19 op Donderdag, 19 November gehoor hoe ’n kar die buurt inry. Hy was toe nog wakker en het gou besef die insittendes is nie inwoners van die area nie. Hulle het intussen uit die kar geklim en rondgeloop. “(Johannson) het versterkings ontbied en toe die twee verdagtes beveel om plat te gaan lê,” sê Du Preez. Die twee mans het laat spaander en oor die muur na die N1 gespring. Teen daardie tyd het hulle reeds by ’n Golf ingebreek, maar omdat daar niks binne-in was nie, niks gehad om te steel nie. “(Johannson) het toe die bestuurder van die motor gaan konfronteer, wat eers gemaak het of hy slaap.” Daarna het hy probeer om in trurat uit die situasie te ry, maar Johannson en ander inwoners het hom gekeer. Die inwoners het intussen kom help nadat hulle vir Johannson hoor skree het.

“Dit het heelwat oortuiging geneem om die man uit die kar te kry, waarna hy op die grond gehou is totdat die sekerheidsdienste aangekom het.” Die polisie het ook op die toneelaangekom en die verdagte, asook die kar (wat vervalste nommerplate gehad het) weggeneem. . Op Vrydag 20 November om 12:20 het twee verdagtes by ’n huis in Panoramastraat ingebreek terwyl die inwoners nie tuis was nie. “Hulle het toegang verkry deur oor die muur te spring en ’n venster oop te dwing en diefwering te verwyder,” vertel Du Preez. Hulle was 16 minute in die huis en het laat spaander toe die eienaar teruggekeer het. Hulle het nie rugsakke by hulle gehad nie en dit is nog onseker wat hulle gevat het. “Die huis se binnekant is in ’n warboel gelaat. Een van die verdagtes het selfs sy hoed in die huis vergeet.” . Woensdagaand of Donderdagoggend het diewe by ’n huis in La Gratitude-weg ingebreek. Hulle het toegang verkry deur die ruit van ’n venster te verwyder en netjies langs die huis neer te sit. ’n Groot Televisiestel en verskeie ander artikels is gebuit.

Project gears up for Christmas THABANG KUAHO @thab_journo Local non-profit organisation Girls Leading Change, has kicked off its Christmas drive to collect hygiene products for girls. The Project Dignity initiative focuses on ensuring that girls are equipped with hygiene products during their monthly menstrual cycles. “The last thing a girl should worry about when they go on their periods is trying to get a pack of sanitary towels,” the organisation’s Kelly Baloyi says. Baloyi says girls become more confident when they have all the hygiene products during their monthly cycles. “Menstrual periods do not only require pads, but other products such as soap and washing towels, among things.”

NG Kerk Parke-gemeente Kraaifontein hou ‘n Buitelug Feesmark Bel die kerkkantoor by 021 988 5340 vir meer inligting of besoek ons facebookblad: www.facebook.com/ngkparke

The organisation relies on donations to keep this year-long project running. With more organisations having similar drives, Baloyi says she is happy more young girls are reached. “These are initiatives we should be proud of because we get to touch more lives and allow other girls to focus on things that really matter.” Because the need is big, she says those who are able to help should do so. “If more people join hands in these kinds of drives, menstrual cycles will cease to become something many girls do not look forward to.” She says organisations partnering with one another also make a difference. Each dignity pack consists of sanitary towels, roll-on, a toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant spray and soap. V For more information call 084 742 9399 or visit www.facebook.com/GLC2019.

Die NG Kerk Parke-gemeente in Kraaifontein bied ‘n Buitelug Feesmark aan op Saterdag, 28 November van 09:00 tot 14:00.

Kry jou boedel in orde en beplan NIELEN DE KLERK @nielendk

ie meeste mense beskou nie boedelbeplanning as hoog op hul lys van prioriteite nie, maar twee kundiges verduidelik hoekom dit nou meer belangrik is as ooit om jou sake in orde te kry.

Wat is boedelbeplanning? “Boedelbeplanning is baie meer is net die opstel van ’n testament,” sê Coreen van der Merwe, direkteur van Sovereign Trust SA Limited in ’n mediaverklaring. “Dit behels ook finansiële beplanning om te verseker dat daar genoegsame kontant beskikbaar is om finansiële verpligtinge te kan nakom, sou jy onbevoeg wees om te kan werk (deur inkomstebeskermingspolisse) of sou jy sterf (deur lewensversekering).” Covid-19 het ’n skerp toename in navrae oor testamente beteken, sê sy. Daarom is dit belangrik om te weet wat die feite rondom boedelbeplanning is. “Boedelbeplanning is niks meer as ’n simulasie van die werklikheid waarmee jou gade of familie gekonfronteer gaan word indien jy vandag sou afsterf,” verduidelik Richus Nel, finansiële adviseur by PSG Wealth, Old Oak in Bellville aan TygerBurger. “Goeie boedelbeplanning maak voorsiening dat enige finansiële verpligtinge (soos ’n onderhoudseis in terme van ’n hofbevel) eerbiedig word en dat jy en jou geliefdes jou bates (en die inkomste daarvan) ten volle kan geniet.”

Coreen van der Merwe, direkteur van Sovereign Trust SA Limited.

weeg ook jouself), kinders uit vorige huwelike, ongetroudes wat saambly, ens? . Watter bates wil jy vererf en in watter formaat (huidige vorm of verkoop)? Indien in die huidige vorm, is daar ’n verband? Moet die begunstigde die uitstaande verband oorneem of kan die bate bemaak word vry van enige skuld? . Oorweeg die voordeel wat elkeen moet kry. Moet begunstigdes of erfgename ’n voortdurende inkomstevoordeel uit die bates geniet of mag hulle die bates opgebruik? . Teen wie het die bates moontlike beskerming nodig – insluitend die SA inkomstediens en skuldeisers? Oorweeg in hierdie geval egskeidings (insluitend jou eie), kinders wat nog nie die hantering van geld bemeester het nie, derdeparty-skuldeising tydens insolvensie, ens. . Wie stel jy aan om die voortdurende finansiële bestuursbesluite oor jou nalating te neem? Oorweeg die aantal mense wat jy wil aanstel, asook hoe goed hierdie mense toegerus is om uitvoering te gee aan omsigtige, volhoubare finansiële besluite. . Is daar ’n einddatum of beperkte regte aan hierdie finansiële voordele vir erfgename? . Wat is die beste keuse as entiteit (trust, maatskappy of vennootskap) vir jou bedrywighede? Oorweeg eienaarskap, bestuursof beskermingsoorwegings, asook praktiese en koste- of belastingoorwegings. Nel en Van der Merwe is dit eens dat die waarde van boedelbeplanning verreikende gevolge kan hê en as’t ware ’n laaste geskenk van jou is. “Die implementasie van behoorlike boedelbeplanning neem ongelukkig tyd en kundigheid,” sê Nel. “’n Goed beplande testament of bestorwe boedel bly een van die mees betekenisvolle, laaste gedagtes waarmee jy jou geliefdes wil agterlaat.” V Kontak Richus per e-pos by richus.nel@psg.co.za.

Oorwegings Nel sê die volgende moet oorweeg word: . Wat gebeur met jou persoonlike en bedryfsbates, indien jy vandag sou sterf? Persoonlike bates is goed soos eiendom, skuld en finale kostes (die koste om jou boedelbelasting af te handel). . Is daar genoeg likiditeit om jou boedel te beredder? Wat ’n besigheid betref: wie gaan omsien na die besigheid, werknemers, kliënte, debiteure ens? Van der Merwe stem in haar verklaring saam. “Baie boedels is ryk aan bates, maar het ’n tekort aan kontant om skuld oor die korttermyn te betaal,” sê sy. “Die kan lei tot ongemaklike finansiële situasies en moeilike besluite wat deur jou erfgename en besigheidsvennote geneem moet word. Tensy jou boedel wel skuldvry is en volop kontant het, is dit noodsaaklik om finansiële beplanning deel te maak van jou boedelbeplanning om te kan verseker dat bates binne die familie bly en besighede nie tot stilstand kom nie.” .

veryone went into panic mode last week after being hit by a slight tremor - the third earthquake in less than two months. The Southern African Faith Communities’ Environment Institute (Safcei) and the Koeberg Alert Alliance have raised questions around the seismic activity on the Milnerton fault line. According to them, the increase in seismic activity on the Milnerton fault line should be a major cause for alarm around the risks to the Koeberg Nuclear Power Plant, especially since the news that Eskom has plans to extend the life of the plant by another 20 years past its original lifespan. “Last month, we raised our concerns when the first two earthquakes were brushed off by Eskom as no cause for alarm. But now, with a third and more intense earthquake, South Africans need to be aware of the risks associated with an aging nuclear plant so close to a fault zone and densely populated areas,” Koeberg Alert Alliance’s, Peter Becker says. The Council for Geosciences issued a tender in October for a study of the seismic risks at the Koeberg site. “It seems we are not alone in our concerns about how safe Koeberg is from earthquakes. Clearly, the Council for Geosciences also sees a need for more research into this risk,” says Becker. According to a statement released by Safcei, Koeberg was built during the late 1970s with a design life of 40 years. It began operating in 1984 and is scheduled for shut down in July 2024. “It was the first nuclear plant built with earthquake protection in the foundations in the form of a concrete ‘raft’ resting on neo-

prene rubber pads. Later designs include horizontal fail safe buffers, but this was not done for Koeberg. That means that if the rubber pads do not perform as expected, or if there is an unexpectedly powerful earthquake, it could result in the foundation cracking. One question as Eskom plans to extend the life of Koeberg is whether the neoprene pads will last for another twenty years in a marine environment?” the statement reads. Becker adds that an unexpected earthquake can cause a nuclear reactor meltdown. “Why should Capetonians live with the fear of that happening? Koeberg contributes so little to the electricity generated in South Africa that it is not worth the risk of keeping it running. Keeping it running for twenty years beyond its designed lifetime would be playing Russian Roulette,” he says. Safcei’s executive director, Francesca de Gasparis, raised some questions around the safety of people living close to the plant. “Has Eskom considered what will happen if we are hit by a massive earthquake on this existing earthquake fault, so close to our only nuclear power plant? “In a worst-case scenario, the Koeberg Evacuation plan would have to be implemented, and tens of thousands of people, possibly millions of people, would need to be evacuated. And since radioactive contamination can make an area uninhabitable for hundreds of years, where would all these people find housing? Or schools for their children? “Will there be enough services or jobs there, to cater for these new inhabitants? These are important questions which should be addressed in the open, with sufficient reliable evidence available for public scrutiny,” adds De Gas-

paris. However, Eskom released a statement saying that the Koeberg Nuclear Power Station continues to operate safely after seismic activity. “Eskom wishes to assure the public that there are no safety concerns with regards to the Koeberg power station, which was designed to withstand a magnitude 7 earthquake. In terms of the Richter scale, the amplitude of a tremor of 3.4 is much less than 0.1% of what Koeberg was designed to safely withstand. “Both nuclear reactors at Koeberg were built on seismic bearings, which act as shock-absorbers to reduce the transferral of ground movement to the plant structures during a seismic event,” the statement reads. Other safety measures to improve the resilience of the facility have been implemented over the years emanating from lessons from recent nuclear events elsewhere, Eskom says. Eskom adds that the power plant continued to operate as normal, with only a minor spike in vibrations on the turbine-driven feedwater pumps on both units. “The station’s earthquake instrumentation system alarms were not activated as the impact did not exceed the plant threshold, confirming that the tremor was well below the power plant’s design limits,” Eskom says. As a precautionary measure, Koeberg Protective Services and Operating departments conducted necessary inspections for damage around general areas, the plant, pump stations, and site buildings – and as expected no damage was found or reported. “Koeberg Nuclear Power Station continues to operate safely, with both units safely generating electricity onto the national grid,” Eskom explains.

Eskom warns of electricity scams Eskom has been inundated with requests to conduct investigations into scams that purport to sell “cheap electricity” vouchers. This scam is perpetrated through promotions being advertised on social media sites on Facebook and Twitter and WhatsApp. According to a statement released by Eskom last week, these unscrupulous individuals dupe people into paying for this “cheap electricity” through the use of electronic funds transfers such as e-wallet and money market. Thereafter the

scammers disappear and leave the customers destitute and out of pocket. “Eskom is working with several law enforcement agencies to trace and prosecute these unscrupulous individuals. We want to urge the members of the public not to fall prey to these crooks, but to report these acts of fraud to the police without delay,” said Advocate Karen Pillay, Eskom’s general manager for security. Eskom has urged members of the public not to fall prey to these crooks. Co-operation with the law enforcement agencies has al-

The numbers contained are compared in percentile to the same quarter in the previous year. Kraaifontein (59), Elsies River (39), Delft, (35) and Mfuleni (32) all feature in the national top 30 police precincts for this crime. With 752 in-

Again Kraaifontein (41), Delft (38) and Mfuleni (30) reached the top 30 list for this crime countrywide. Truck hijackings too saw an increase of 33.3% with 12 more incidents bringing the total for the quarter to 48; and carjacking’s a slight decrease of 3.3% with 838 incidents. Delft (59) and Philippi East (59) were both listed in the top 30. The murder rate saw a slight decline of 0.9% with 1 013 murders in the province.

House robberies increased by 8.4% with 752 cases and break-ins declined by 10% with 2 578 cases. Minister for community safety in the province Albert Fritz, said a five-year analysis shows that provincially murder cases increased by 25.7% (207) from 806 in 2016/17 to 1 013 in quarter 2 of 2020/21 financial year whilst nationally it increased by 4.2% (207), from 4 900 in quarter 2 of 2016/17 to 5 107 for the same period. However, there was a decrease in the last two years – owing largely to the Operation Lockdown in gang affected precincts in 2019 and the Covid lockdown in 2020.

Medicine parcels help patients to stay safer

November is ‘preemie’ month I

n support of World Prematurity Awareness Month in November, neonatal wards at Tygerberg Hospital will be draped in purple for premature babies, or preemies, this month. The colour purple represents sensitivity and exceptionality, which is fitting for this year’s World Prematurity Day celebrated on 17 November. This year’s theme is “Together for babies born too soon – caring for the future.” The idea of World Prematurity Day was born on 17 November 2008 when proud parents welcomed their healthy baby girl into the world after having lost triplets due to pre-term birth, a statement by the provincial department of health reads. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO) one out of 10 babies is born prematurely. “Preemies have not grown and developed as much as they should have before birth.

A baby born three weeks or more before the due date is called premature. It can happen to everyone, irrespective of where we live, our culture or socioeconomic status,” the statement reads. Preemie Day seeks to raise awareness of the challenges and burden of preterm birth globally. Many preemies face serious lifelong health challenges. “It is also a time to reflect on the amazing advances that have been made to improve the outcomes of these tiny human beings and to celebrate the healthcare workers and parents that care for them. “These little ones need loads of love and support and World Prematurity Day is a chance to show it, the statement reads. The public is encouraged to drape a purple ribbon, T-shirt, dress or trousers and join the hospital in celebrating the month. They are also encouraged to share their photographs on Facebook by tagging the Western Cape government health’s page.

The provincial health department’s chronic dispensary unit (CDU) in Parow has improved their services in order to help reduce the risks of chronic patients contracting Covid-19. They have done so by preparing their medicine parcels for home delivery and collection at designated collection points at healthcare facilities. This was done throughout the national lockdown. “More than 84 000 additional stable chronic patients have been registered for this service since the start of lockdown, and the CDU has ramped up its capacity to more than keep pace with this increased demand,” says Ludo Tandt, general manager of the CDU. The CDU, a contract between the department and Medipost Pharmacy, was already dispensing an average of 16 500 to 18 500 parcels per day prior to the pandemic, however the daily average is now up to 32 000 parcels per day. From the start of 2020 to the end of September, 3.8 million medicine parcels were dispensed from the CDU. “With the advent of Covid-19 there was a need to limit opportunities for this highly infectious viral illness to spread, especially among individuals with pre-existing health conditions, while still ensuring patients have access to their prescribed chronic treatment,” says Kim Lowernherz, head of the department. The department established a system to ensure patients living with a stable chronic health condition could receive their medicine parcels via home delivery, with over 100 000 parcels delivered safely and conveniently to patients in their own homes since the start of lockdown. “Through existing community-focused health structures, the medicine parcels dispensed by the CDU are disseminated through partner non-profit organisations to community health workers, who then deliver the parcels to patients.” The CDU’s medicine dispensary system was specially designed to fulfil the

specific and stringent requirements of the department for preparing and dispatching large volumes of medicine parcels each month. “These medicine parcels are a vital tool in the provision of community based primary care, bringing healthcare services closer to patients so that they are more convenient and accessible,” says Noel Guliwe, chief executive of the Medipost Holdings group. The group operates the CDU on behalf of the health department.

The chronic dispensary unit is an advanced and highly specialised automated chronic medicine dispensing, sorting and parcel assembly line in Parow. It is a contract between the Western Cape government’s department of health and Medipost Pharmacy. Since the beginning of 2020 and the end of September, 3.8 million medicine parcels were dispensed from the CDU for patients with chronic health conditions.

Durbanville se seniors vier die lewe V

ir senior inwoners van Durbanville was ’n byeenkoms verlede Woensdag – hul eerste sedert inperking – ’n viering van die lewe. Altesame 35 lede van die Durbanville Seniors Hub (DSH) het by die Meerendal-wynlandgoed ’n laat ontbyt genuttig en vriendskappe voortgesit wat in Februarie met die aanvang van die organisasie se aktiwiteite gesmee is, het Lorraine Langeveldt van die DSH gesê. Dié organisasie streef daarna om ’n dienssentrum vir senior inwoners in Durbanville te vestig en het in Februarie volstoom met sy aktiwiteite op Dinsdae, Woensdae en Vrydae weggespring. Daar is oefeninge gedoen, bordspeletjies gespeel, boeke uitgeruil en terapeute het mani- en pedikure gedoen ... maar toe kom inperking. “Die ontbyt was ’n wegbreek van die alleenheid en die groep het heerlik gesels en nuwe vriende gemaak,” sê sy. Hoewel talle aktiwiteite van die DSH weens die Covid-19-pandemie afgestel moes word, het dit nie die nuutgestigte organisasie verlam nie. Nie net is bande tydens inperking versterk deur WhatsApp- en geestelike boodskappe deur leraars van verskillende gemeentes in Durbanville nie, maar die organisasie het ook die dienste bekom van ’n Die dansgroepie bestaan uit (voor) Marina Jansen en Christa Boonzaaier.

‘Lykplant’ staan in volle blom DESIRÉE RORKE @dezzierorke ’n Buitengewone, eksotiese, maar verreweg die stinkste plant op die ganse aardbol is tans in volle blom in ’n Brackenfellse tuin. Jy sal vergewe word as jy met die eerste ruikslag dink iets het in die tuin gesterf. As gevolg van sy reuk, soos dié van ’n verrottende lyk, word die titan arum gekenmerk as ’n aasblom, en staan hy ook bekend as die lykblom of lykplant. Hoewel die plant endemies is

Peter Sutter by sy stinkende titan arum wat tans langs sy swembad in Brackenfell blom.

aan die reënwoude van Soematra in Indonesië, word dit algemeen deur versamelaars aangeplant, en wêreldwyd besoek duisende mense botaniese tuine om die plant elke soveel jaar in volle blom te aanskou ... én te ruik. Die plant kan tot tussen sewe en tien jaar vir die eerste keer blom, en blom daarna volgens dieselfde patroon. Peter Sutter het die plant in 1986 langs die swembad van sy nuwe huis aangetref. “Sy stink soos aas om vlieë te lok vir bevrugting, maar die brommers kom niks oor nie. “My voorganger moes haar geplant het. Ek het ’n hele paar plante aangetref, maar omdat die plant so baie water nodig het, ‘slaap’ dit egter ondergronds in baie droë

tydperke. “Die een het vanjaar vir die eerste keer in ’n baie lang tyd weer geblom,” sê Sutter. Sutter se blom staan amper ’n meter hoog, maar is baie kleiner as die Asiatiese weergawe. Laasgenoemde kan tot en met 3 m hoog kan groei in die reënwoude omdat daar so baie water is. Die diep rooi kleur en tekstuur van die bloeikolf dra ook by tot die illusie dat die blomskede ’n stuk vleis is. Gelukkig kry Sutter nie klagtes van die bure nie. “My buurman het ook ’n paar in sy tuin; die vorige huiseienaars was vriende en het duidelik ’n passie vir eksotiese plante gehad,” sê hy.

City wants to sue EFF DESIRÉE RORKE @dezzierorke

Alcohol dependency first reared its head during lockdown for many, as locals were locked indoors with large quantities of liquor. PHOTO: SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS

Watch your liquor habits SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS @samantha_lee121

“T

hey say the first step to recovery, is admitting you have a problem. My name is Jason, and I am an al-

coholic.” These are words he never thought would be spoken, but with the hard lockdown and ban on the sales of liquor, Jason had found himself locked inside with copious amounts of liquor for weeks. “I borrowed money, made a loan to stock up on liquor for the lockdown. I was so worried I would not survive without a drink,” he says. A social drinker, he would drink on weekends with his friends or around a braai, but never did he think he had anything close to an alcohol addiction. But his dependency manifested itself during this time. “I would drink with a group of friends, but limited to the weekend and sometimes Thursdays. I look back now and realise that I never knew a limit. I would not stop until the last drop was finished from that bottle. Actually, all my friends are like that. We drink Fridays and Saturdays until we cannot stand and then have a few beers to cool down on Sundays before work,” he says. “During lockdown, I bought so many bottles, trays of beers, cheap and expensive, whatever I could find. I just did not want to run out. By the third week of lockdown, I had almost finished the stock on my own. I would get up every day, have beer or whiskey with my breakfast and drink close to a bottle of liquor a day.” His relationship with alcohol started at a young age, he says. “In coloured communities, we are exposed to drinking from a young age. The first few things you do wrong is sneak a parent’s cigarette or take a sip of an open beer or wine. It doesn’t taste good at that age, but you all laugh and keep doing it because it’s naughty so it’s fun. We never realise that this influences us into our adulthood,” he says. “Getting drunk is so normal. At birthday parties, sneaking into clubs and bars and hanging out with older crowds are all normal; and drinking cheap wine, just to drink, is part of it.” When the lockdown was extended, he began to panic and was again looking at ways to replenish his dwindling stock. “I was stressed out and panicked. I was researching recipes for beer and looking for illegal sellers. I was no longer receiving my full salary. This stress, the separation and the pandemic made it all worse,” he says. “In May, I was drunk out of my mind. I can’t remember it myself. My family began to notice how bad my relationship with alcohol had become and decided to record me. It was 11:30 and I was falling around. I could not walk or think or speak. I had lost myself

to the bottle. I had become my father and those drunk uncles we are scared of, but secretly admire,” he says. With a history of alcoholism in his family, Jason believes he should have seen the signs much sooner. “I am what we call a happy and sloppy drunk, but my father was an aggressive drunk. He would get drunk and become abusive and vulgar. He would always be drunk, especially after retiring and that was difficult to see growing up, but after seeing that video – beside my behaviour – I had become my father. Something I vowed never to become,” he says. Jason is now part of an outpatient treatment to help him deal with his dependency issues. “I was so worried that I would turn to other things like drugs,” he says. Sharna Fernandez, the provincial minister of social development, says there is help available for anyone struggling with addiction. “It takes a tremendous amount of courage to seek help for drug and alcohol addiction, however, it may not always feel that way for people going through the process. As the provincial department, we recognise that providing assistance to individuals and families with drug and alcohol-related challenges is key to building the social fabric of our communities. “There are many health and social consequences of drug and alcohol addiction and, in most cases, it can lead to the breakdown of families,” she says. She adds that addiction is a chronic brain dysfunction and that support is imperative in recovery. “Despite the intrinsic dignity in addiction recovery, the persistent stigma and judgment that substance abuse disorder (SUD) survivors face when they endeavour to put their lives back together can be overwhelming and prevent them from moving forward, even leading to relapse,” she says. But for Jason, the lockdown had proven an unhealthy and irresponsible relationship with alcohol, and for many others who cannot see they have a problem. “If you borrowed money to buy alcohol, paid ridiculous prices from illegal sellers, made your own beer or drank every single day, then you have a problem. If you cannot go anywhere without having an alcoholic drink. “That feeling that you cannot live without it should be a sign,” he says. “I know, you will say ‘I drink because I want to, not because I need to’, but for most, that is the lie we tell ourselves so we don’t have to face the reality. I was in denial and now the reality I am facing is that famous saying: ‘Hi, my name is Jason, and I am an alcoholic’.” V For help dealing with addiction, visit www.heretohelp.co.za, or the department of social development’s hotline on 0800 220 250.

The EFF said they were ready to meet the City of Cape Town head on in court to defend a civilian action for damages to be brought against them by the City, after the protests in Brackenfell. During an interview with TygerBurger, EFF Western Cape chair, Melikhaya Xego, said the City by pursuing such a lawsuit, acted in a “clownish, foolish and childish manner”. “The EFF had applied for a permit to protest, something neither the Cape Party did who was also present, nor the protesters who marched to parliament against farm murders earlier this year. At our first protest we were assaulted by people who didn’t at all apply for a limit to their gathering, but nothing happened to them,” he said. Executive mayor Dan Plato on Friday said the City was intending a civilian suit against the EFF to recover costs from the EFF for damages done to municipal property. He also encouraged private property owners who suffered damages to join the City in the legal suit. “Preliminary reports indicate a fire engine was torched, roads and traffic lights were damaged, and a field was set alight by EFF protesters. “Car dealership windows were smashed at the corner of Paradys and Old Paarl Road, with private vehicles damaged due to stoning and several shops looted,” Plato said in a statement to the media on Friday 20 November. He said the City is in the process of determining the costs of damages to municipal property, with the intent of recovering these through civil action. Plato strongly condemned the violent actions and violation of agreed conditions on the number of protesters and the EFF’s own commitment of non-violence. This, after Judge Siraj Desai refused to

grant an urgent interdict against Friday’s protest on the basis that there would be no violence. “The EFF made it clear that they have no regard for the rule of law, and the City manager has indicated to me that senior officials are assessing the cost of the damage to City infrastructure,” said Plato. However, according to Xego, the police were biased and “chose the side of the racists”. “When the police saw the crowds were bigger than anticipated, they should have managed and controlled it better, but instead they fired stun grenades at the marchers,” Xego said. Plato said a full assessment of damages is currently underway and once finalised, the City would sue. “I want to assure the public that we will not tolerate lawlessness in this City and the EFF will be held accountable for the damage caused. “Where private property has been damaged during protest action, I want to encourage property owners to alert the City so that our legal team can assess the feasibility of private property owners joining the City’s case against the EFF,” Plato said. “The City respects the rule of law, including the right of citizens to assemble provided this is done peacefully and with respect to the rights of others.” Plato said while he could not speak for the police, Friday’s violation of protest conditions would need to be taken into account by police in future and should form part of the record going forward. He commended the efforts of the police, metro police, law enforcement and traffic officials, as well as the contributions made by the local neighbourhood watches and community policing forums. “Through these efforts, an extremely volatile situation was kept largely under control, protecting the public and limiting damage to municipal and private property.”

Nine arrested after violent protest in Brackenfell THABANG KUAHO @thab_journo The Economic Freedom Fighters’ (EFF) protest that sought to address reports of alleged racism at Brackenfell High School on Friday 20 November, was filled with episodes of stun grenades, teargas and water cannons being used on protesters by police. Early that morning before the march began in an attempt to disperse the marchers the men in blue fired stun grenades and water cannons after an altercation. This did not stop the red berets from carrying out their mission. Mziwoxolo Gaduka, a supporter of the party says the act was a way to discourage them from addressing the issue. “We will not leave this matter unsolved, racism cannot and will not be tolerated in South Africa,” he says. He says acts by police were shameful. Addressing the crowd, the party’s secretary general, Marshall Dlamini, called for protesters to show discipline to ensure that the party’s message is communicated. He also said protesters should not feel intimidated by the police. During his address, chaos erupted and Dlamini was forced to abandon his post. This interruption was brought about by a (white) man who walked up to the podium and asked him (Dlamini) if he could say something. The request was not well received by the red berets as some of them started punching the man. Police quickly stepped in to remove the man from the violent crowd. Stun grenades, rubber bullets and water cannons were used once again to disperse the crowd. The party says a genuine engagement was not intended from the police’s side. “It was clear from the onset that no ge-

Party members clashed with police, which resulted in stun grenades, rubber bullets and water cannons being fired at them. PHOTOS: THABANG KUAHO nuine engagement could be had with an arrogant police force that resolved that it will protect the interest of racists at all costs (sic),” a statement by the EFF read. “Despite countless stun grenades and rubber bullets unleashed on our members, the committed forces of the EFF refused to retreat.” The party says it will return to the school if teachers, the principal and governing body involved in organising the function, which allegedly no black learner was invited to, are not removed from their positions. This came after the (white) parent who had organised the matric party, last week already had denied all allegations of racism saying all pupils, white, brown and black, were invited. Provincial police spokesperson, Capt FC van Wyk says the protest action necessitated police action to maintain law and order and to disperse the riotous crowd. “Eight protestors were arrested on charges of public violence. One member of the public was injured when he tried to disrupt the protest. He was arrested on a charge of incitement,” Van Wyk says.

‘Toorbos’ is SA’s Oscars entry R

ené van Rooyen’s Toorbos has officially been selected as this year’s South African entry for the highly coveted Best International Feature Film Award for the 2021 Academy Awards. The film, which is an adaptation of renowned writer Dalene Matthee’s 2003 bestselling novel of the same name, is currently on circuit in South African cinemas. Competition was tough and the South African Academy Awards Selection Committee, comprising professionals from various fields of the filmmaking value chain, evaluated several submissions from 2 to 5 November at Nu Metro cinemas across the country. It is only the third South African entry by a female director for the Academy Awards, since 1989. “It is an honour for our entire team that our film has been selected to represent South Africa. Covid-19 has severely impacted our arts in South Africa, Africa and the rest of the world. This is an amazing tribute and opportunity for our Local Film Industry,” says producer, Dries Scholtz. Starring Elani Dekker in the lead, Toorbos investigates the uprooting of a young forest woman during the time of the final forest dwellers of South Africa’s Knysna forest of the 1930’s. It tells a story between the intimate rela-

Director René van Rooyen explains how Toorbos not only highlights the importance of finding the balance in the tug of war between the masculine and feminine, but also in the urgent need to heal our broken world, by reconnecting to nature. “The submission gives the film spotlight in the global arena, an absolute dream come true for the project.”

Cinderella with a twist The familiar childhood tale of Cinderella is given a modern-day twist in Cinderella and FrikaDella presented by All Star Entertainment and GrandWest at the Roxy Revue Bar until Thursday 17 December. As social media takes over their world, the ruthless mother and talent agent, Patricia D, manages her social media “influencer” daughters, Frika and Della with very limited talent. The talented unseen stepdaughter Cinderella, is ignored, treated badly and suppressed, but a massive talent competition arises. Cinderella secretly enters it. The contemporary pantomime written and directed by Allistair Izobell features a stellar cast of performers which includes two

Die Hugo Lambrechts-musieksentrum vier vanjaar sy 23ste jaarlikse Concertofees. Agt jong musici is na afloop van landswye oudisies gekies om as soliste saam met die Hugo Lambrechts Simfonie-orkes, onder leiding van Liam Burden, by die galageleentheid op te tree. Vanjaar se fees sal egter weens die voortgesette Covid-19-inperkings as ’n virtuele konsert op Vrydag 4 Desember aanlyn uitgesaai word. Die konsert sal tot Sondag 6 Desember beskikbaar wees om te kyk. Die gala-aand sluit optredes in deur twee bloedjong saxofoon-spelers van Parow, Kian Goliath en James Cilliers. Albei is leerders aan die Hugo Lambrechts-

musieksentrum en albei het op nasionale vlak reeds groot opgang gemaak. Daarbenewens bied die Concerto-fees ’n geleentheid aan twee jong sussies van Durbanville, Janine Venter (fluit) en Helga Venter (altviool), asook die siggestremde sangeres Ying-Shan Tseng van Worcester, om met hul talent te spog. Die program sluit onder meer komposisies van JC Bach, Mozart, Quantz, Arditi, Milhaud en Kabalevsky in. Kaartjies is beskikbaar by www.quicket.co.za teen R155. Dit bied toegang om die konsert meermale te kyk.

Suidooster skenk ’n miljoen KykNET se gewilde sepie Suidooster het op sy vyfde verjaarsdag, Maandag 16 November, ’n groot skenking aan die Rooikruis-kinderhospitaaltrust gemaak. Die waarde van dié skenking is sowat R1 miljoen en bestaan uit ’n donasie van R50 000, die vervaardiging van ’n TV-advertensie, R500 000 se advertensie-lugtyd op die kykNET-kanale en blootstelling in episodes van die sepie om bewusmaking te skep van die Kinderhospitaaltrust se fondsinsamelingsprojekte. Die oorhandiging van die skenking aan die trust, wat die fondsinsamelingsorganisasie van die befaamde Rooikruis-kinderhospitaal in Kaapstad is, het by Suidooster se ateljees plaasgevind. Jawaahier Petersen (Kaashifa in Suidooster) het die saadjie geplant dat Suidooster by die doen en late van die Kinderhospitaaltrust betrokke moet raak. Sy is reeds een van hul ambassadeurs en is self daar as ’n kind behandel. Volgens Wilmer Müller, Suidooster se publisiteitsbestuurder, is dit nog altyd belangrik vir die sepie om ook terug te gee. “Ons mantra by Suidooster is dat ons nie net mense se lewe met kykgenot wil verryk nie, maar ook op ander maniere soos deur ons harte oop te maak. Daarom het ons ook besluit om hande met die Kinderhospitaal-

trust te vat,” sê hy. “Dus, toe ons aan die begin van die jaar koppe bymekaar gesit het om ons vyfde verjaarsdag te beplan, was dit vir ons voor die hand liggend om in plaas van ’n glanspartytjie te reël, dit eerder te vier deur ’n verskil iewers te help maak.” Chantel Cooper, uitvoerende hoof van die Kinderhospitaaltrust, sê dit is ’n voorreg om in vennootskap te wees met donateurs soos Suidooster en kykNET wat omgee. “Die Kinderhospitaaltrust is opreg dankbaar dat ons omring is deur barmhartigheid en vrygewigheid, wat ons help om die lewe van kinders beter te maak,” sê sy. “Ons vergeet nooit dat die taak wat op ons skouers rus, nie moontlik sal wees sonder die ondersteuning wat ons ontvang nie.” Danksy Suidooster en kykNET se skenking is die hospitaal nou nog ’n stappie nader aan die modernisering en uitbreiding van sy eenheid vir noodgevalle. Dié projek het in April 2019 begin, waarvan die eerste fase pas in Oktober voltooi is, terwyl die spertyd vir die afhandeling van die tweede fase geoogmerk is vir Februarie 2022. Die koste van die projek is R122 miljoen, waarvan R87 miljoen reeds ingesamel is. Besoek die webblad www.childrenshospitaltrust.org.za vir meer inligting.

Hier by die oorhandiging van die R50 000-skenking aan verteenwoordigers van die Rooikruis-kinderhospitaaltrust is (van links) Pauline Solomons, Mershtilda Chaparadza, Nazli Philander en Chantel Cooper (uitvoerende hoof) saam met Suidooster se Wilmer Müller (publisiteitsbestuurder) en die akteurs Dean Smith en Jawaahier Petersen.

‘Living Coloured’ an ode to thriving against the odds Yusuf Daniels’ bestselling book, Living Coloured, adapted for the stage and directed by Loukmaan Adams, will be at the Baxter Concert Hall from Tuesday 8 December to Saturday 9 January. Shows are at 19:30 with Saturday matinees at 14:30. The vibrant characters are brought to life by a cast of six performers who mostly play multiple characters, comprising Tashreeq de Villiers, Alexis Petersen, Eldon van der Merwe, Anzio September, Crystal Finck and musician Yvan Potts, all from David Kramer’s Danger in the Dark fame. Living Coloured is an ode to an era where communities and families thrived despite the hardship of apartheid. It is a hilarious, heart-warming and uplifting portrayal of Daniels’ own life story which speaks of family, friendships, community, traditions and culture, and what it was like growing up on the Cape Flats during an oppressive time with racism, gang-

sterism and poverty. “There were things that kept us sane. It made us forget the situation we found ourselves in and, most importantly, how we as a community lived fully beyond those odds presented to us at the time,” says Daniels. “I wrote Living Coloured (Because Black and White were already taken) and Living Lekke, to bring smiles and laughter to people’s faces.” Performances will be limited to fifty percent capacity, with Covid-19 protocols in place. Arrive at least an hour before the start of the performance to avoid delays. Ticket prices range from R125 to R225 and booking is through Webtickets on 086 111 0005, online at www.webtickets.co.za or at Pick n Pay stores.

Tips in securing your dream rental property T

here are currently more rental properties on the market than there have been in many years and it is quite understandable that many prospective tenants believe that they will easily be able to secure their preferred property once found. However, in many instances this is simply not the case. “This is especially true in the lower to medium price ranges in sought-after areas which offer convenient proximity to good schools and amenities,” says Lorraine-Marie Dellbridge, rentals manager of Lew Geffen Sotheby’s International Realty in Cape Town’s southern suburbs. According to Dellbridge, there are several things prospective tenants can do to nudge themselves to the top of the list and to avoid

delays that could cost them their dream home. . Ensure you are admin-ready ahead of time. You will need three month’s bank statements, a certified copy of your ID, Fica documents (proof of address) and references from previous landlords where possible. . Request the application form prior to viewing. Have it completed and with your documents ready to hand in on the day if you like the property after viewing. . Have the necessary funds ready. Ensure that you have enough money available to pay the required deposit and, if applicable, the application fee. If there are two candidates of the same calibre, the one with his/ her admin and funds at the ready will invariably get the property.

. Be mindful of your credit rating. If possible, do a prior check to ensure your credit score is clear. But also bear in mind that there are also other factors that can count against you, including having little or no credit because it’s difficult to determine your credit payment pattern and reliability. . Be on time. Make sure you arrive on time to view the property. Don’t breeze in 30 minutes late with a smile and a casual “sorry”. Besides being rude and annoying, the agent is bound to wonder if you are as cavalier about paying your rent on time. . Understand that most agency leases are standard and law compliant. When you start wanting to make changes, it can make agencies and landlords nervous, especially when it comes to significant clauses like those per-

taining to the Consumer Protection Act which enables a tenant to exercise their right to terminate the lease early. . Understand that if there is more than one applicant, the landlord might choose the one that is being less of a hassle. If it’s complicated early on, a landlord may fear that a tenant is likely to become troublesome. . Remember that, unless otherwise stipulated, you’re viewing the property to take it as it is. Barring items of repair that may make it unlivable such as roof leaks or broken toilet leaks, by submitting an application, you are applying for the home as you viewed it. . Give your references a heads-up. VFor more information visit www.sothebysrealty.co.za.

KILLARNEY: KARTING TITLES TO BE DECIDED

All geared up for finalé I

n spite of lockdown stealing a significant amount of its season, the Rotax Max Western Province Karting Championship will reach seven rounds out of the initially planned eight at Killarney’s season finale on Saturday 28 November. Among this year’s classes there will be a mere formality after a few standout performances through the season. Others will, however, go right down to the line. Among the latter, the baby Bambinos arrive at Killarney with little Aiden Beaumont all of three points clear of young Kai van Rensburg in the title chase. So that one can go either way, considering there’s a three-point difference between a race win and a second. And there are three races on Saturday. It’s just as close between Sebastiano Human and Siyabonga Ntuli for third, and Liam Wharton and Michael Danks for fifth too. Stepping up to u.11 Micro Max, Reese Koorzen already has one hand on that championship, but its tight for second. Joshua Smit holds an eleven point advantage over

Jordan Wadeley. African Open winner Keagan Beaumont will be the kid to watch though — the African Open winner has come on strong and will be out to secure the title fourth over Dale Hobbs and Sabelo Ntuli. It would appear that Reza Levy and Ethan Deacon need to do something silly to squander their u.13 Mini-Max 1-2. But on closer inspection, third placed Joaquin de Oliveira is a clear danger man. He missed the first two races, so will not have to drop any of his results and all his points will count. His rivals must still drop results so that brings de Oliveira into striking distance. Joshua Smit, Jude Stuart and Jordan Wadeley will also be in that chase. Kyle Visser has all but wrapped up the WP u.15 Junior Max title. The fight there is for second between brothers Andre and Kyle le Riche and Matthew Wadeley. Ethan Stier and Troy Dolinschek are danger men there as they too, do not drop any points after missing championship rounds. Senior Max however promises to be a thriller.

Local disabled sport gets a boost The month of November in South Africa signifies National Disability Month, and as part of the continued celebrations, a local betting firm joined forces with Paralympic star Mpumelelo Mhlongo and the Western Province Sport Association for the Physically Disabled (WPSAPD), to make a meaningful difference in the communities in the Cape Town Metro district. Recognising the important role and overall contribution to sport that athletes with disabilities and administrators continue to make, Betway has committed to lending a helping hand to organisations that aid the development of athletes with disabilities throughout the month. The WPSAPD, were presented with R30 000 worth of equipment in support of their efforts of breaking barriers and creating an inclusive society for persons living with disabilities through sport. WPSAPD was founded in in 1963 with the founding of the Western Province regional council and

has been providing access to sport opportunities for people living with disabilities through their affiliated clubs. A variety of sports are catered for and currently include athletics, boccia, powerlifting, goalball, para dance and junior para-cycling amongst others. The association is affiliated to the provincial structure, Western Cape Sport Association for Physically Disabled, and to the national association, namely the South African Sport Association for the Physically Disabled (SASAPD), the latter being a beneficiary of the #BetwayCares initiative that saw them receive R75 000 worth of Boccia equipment from Betway. A 2019 World Para Athletics record holder in 100m, 200m and long jump, Mhlongo was on hand to present the much-needed equipment. “It gives me great joy to witness global brands such as Betway recognising and celebrating this important month. A number

of athletes such as myself are currently preparing for the Tokyo Olympics and seeing such a kind gesture from Betway, that will aid the development of athletes living with disabilities gives me great hope that we will have more athletes from our local communities competing at global events,” said Mhlongo. Welcoming the donation on behalf of the association was WPSAPD chair, Elze Lamrechts-Malherbe who thanked Betway for being one of the few brands that recognise the importance of National Disability Month. “WPSAPD would like to express its gratitude to Betway for such a generous gesture that will go a long way in supporting the vision of our association. The work that is done by WPSAPD and similar organisations receives minimal recognition and it takes brands such as Betway to help us be more visible through such great initiatives,” said Lambrechts-Malherbe.
