FISANTEKRAAL: BUURTWAGLID WEN PRYS

‘Besige by’ word vereer ESMÉ ERASMUS

’n

Tuimelpret by tuinmark Ulrich König (5) van Durbanville het die tuimeltrein by die tuinmark van die NG kerk Durbanville verlede Vrydag baie geniet. Stalletjies het allerlei lekkernye, kuns, boeke, speelgoed, geskenke en ander artikels verkoop. Dit was ’n gemeenskapsprojek om entrepreneurs en gemeenskapsorganisasies die geleentheid te gee om hul produkte te bemark en geld in te samel.

Gemeenskapsleier en “besige by” in Fisantekraal – een van die eerste begunstigdes in die Greenville-behuisingsprojek – is pas deur die Stad Kaapstad vir haar bydrae tot die plaaslike buurtwag vereer.

Elizabeth Maans (43) het hierdie afgelope Saterdag die Inspirasie van die Jaar-toekenning ontvang vir haar bydrae tot die Fisantekraal-buurtwag, waarvan sy die voorsitter is.

Die toekenningsgeleentheid gee erkenning aan die werk wat gemeenskapswerkers doen om misdaad te bekamp.

Die Fisantekraal-buurtwag is reeds in 2017 begin, maar is eers einde September suksesvol by die provinsiale departement van gemeenskapsveiligheid geakkrediteer.

Dit het gevolg ná ’n uitgerekte administratiewe proses oor meer as 18 maande om aan al die nodige vereistes te voldoen.

Die buurtwag het reeds 30 lede, van wie die meerderheid vroue is.

Volgens Maans is hulle op soek na nog mans om aan te sluit.

“Ek wil net die plaaslike raadslid, Ruan Beneke, bedank vir wat hy alles vir my gedoen en beteken het toe die buurtwag gestig is,” het sy aan TygerBurger gesê.

Maans is ook die voorsitter van die Mosselbank River Conservation Team (MRCT), ’n projek wat deur die ontwikkelaar van Greenville, Garden Cities, begin is om in-

woners te betrek by die rehabilitasie en instandhouding van die rivier en omgewing.

Talle suksesvolle skoonmaakoperasies is reeds by die rivier uitgevoer.

Sy het ook vir Danielle Cronje, omgewingsbeampte by Garden Cities, wat haar genomineer het vir die buurtwagtoekenning, bedank vir haar ondersteuning.

“As dit nie vir haar was nie, sou ek nie so ver gekom het nie,” het sy gesê.

Maans is ’n “besige by”. Sy is ook betrokke as vrywilliger by die slagoffer-ondersteuningsprogram van die satelliet-polisiekantoor in Fisantekraal.

Sy het ook haar eie sopkombuis in April tydens inperking begin.

Sy het in 2017 die Greenville Future Kids-speelskool oopgemaak.

Maans, wat self twee kinders het, is ook ’n pleegma vir nog twee kinders en beoog om volgende jaar ’n veiligheidsplek vir mishandelde kinders by haar huis te open.

“Ek wil kamers aan my huis aanbou sodat ek meer kinders in my pleegsorg kan inneem.

“Ons gemeenskap het ’n safe house nodig.

“My hart was stukkend tydens inperking. Ek vertrou op die Here dat ek genoeg donasies hiervoor sal ontvang,” het sy gesê.

“Mense vra dikwels hoe doen ek als, maar dis nou maar hoe ek is.

“Ek hou van mense en veral kinders is my eerste prioriteit,” het sy gesê.

City ready for Covid resurgence T

he Western Cape health department has confirmed that the Cape metropole is experiencing a resurgence in Covid-19 cases.

According to a statement released by the City of Cape Town, based on the experiences of other countries around the world, the confirmation should sound a warning to us all that the growing complacency in recent months needs to be cast aside with urgency.

“It is imperative that Cape Town pulls together to ensure that the resurgence in caseload and related hospitalisations are curbed, and quickly too.

“The City’s health department remains equipped to assist with Covid-19 screening,

testing and referrals, but also contact tracing in conjunction with other health agencies.

“The majority of our 34 overflow facilities, opened earlier this year to increase capacity at clinics in light of the pandemic, remain active, as are the mobile testing booths that were set up at a number of clinics,” the statement reads.

As indicated, there is growing community transmission across the metropole, with certain suburbs showing higher active caseloads, based on the available data.

These suburbs include Bellville, Claremont, Delft, Dunoon, Grassy Park, Gugulethu, Hanover Park, Kuils River, Lentegeur, Lotus River, Macassar, Milnerton,

Nyanga, Ottery, Parklands, Parow, Pinelands, Rocklands, Rondebosch, Sea Point, Somerset West, Strand, Tafelsig and Wynberg.

However, the City says the public should continue adhering to the Covid-19 health and safety protocols that were so diligently observed during the peak of the pandemic earlier this year.

“Unlike the peak, when the country was still in a hard lockdown, there is far more mobility under the current alert level, which means the risk of transmission is greater, and not limited to the suburbs that are experiencing a surge in caseload,” the City says.

Apart from regular hand washing and sa-

nitising, residents are advised to keep wearing their masks when in public and to wear them properly – covering both their mouth and nose.

“Gatherings are best avoided, and if you must attend a gathering, we advise that you keep it short, and ensure that the room or area is well ventilated.”

The City’s environmental health service will continue to monitor shopping malls and retailers to ensure compliance, in the interest of public safety.

The public is also advised to report any non-compliance to the City’s public emergency communication centre on 021 480 7700 from a cellphone or 107 from a landline.

VAN BLADSY 1 Ander plaaslike wenners was die Fern Parkbuurtwag in Brackenfell, wat die “Broken window”-toekenning ontvang het. Paul Kruger van die Panorama-Kleinbosch-Welgelegen-Plattekloof (PWP)-buurtwag en Theo Gallaway van die Chrismar-buurtwag in Bellville deel die toekenning vir Buurtwaglid van die Jaar.

Die U Watch-buurtwag in Woodstock is aangewys as Buurtwag van die Jaar.

Weens die Covid-19-pandemie is slegs twee verteenwoordigers van genomineerde buurtwagte vanjaar na die toekenningsgeleentheid genooi, terwyl die ander lede die geleentheid aanlyn kon bywoon.

“Die Stad is spesifiek trots op die goed geoliede masjien wat buurtwagte geraak het,” het JP Smith, burgemeesterskomiteelid vir veiligheid en sekuriteit van Stad Kaapstad, gesê.

“Ek is trots om geassosieer te word met die honderde vrywilligers wat sorg, toewyding en innovasie openbaar om hul gemeenskappe te dien en ek staan 100% agter hulle in hul pogings om Kaapstad vir ons almal te beveilig,” het hy gesê.

Elizabeth Maans ontvang haar toekenning van JP Smith, burgemeesterskomiteelid vir veiligheid en sekuriteit, van die Stad Kaapstad.

“Ons buurtwagte verstaan die belangrikheid van aktiewe burgerskap en leef dit daagliks uit met hul onbaatsugtige inisiatiewe as vrywilligers – dit als ter wille van

veiligheid,” het hy gesê.

V Enige belangstellendes wat by die buurtwag wil aansluit of hulp wil verleen, kan Maans by 073 437 4260 bel.

Natasjia, wat vir die Stad Kaapstad gewerk het, is Sondagoggend met verskeie steekwonde in haar bed in Eerstelaan aangetref. Haar man, Andries, was ten tyde van die moord uitstedig en haar jonger seun (14) het geslaap.

Homelessness costs a fortume ESMÉ ERASMUS

T

he enormous cost of homelessness in Cape Town – in excess of R744 million yearly – came under the spotlight at a virtual media conference by the Coalition to End Homelessness last Tuesday.

The seminal study “The Cost of Homelessness in Cape Town” was launched at the media conference.

The Coalition to End Homelessness consists of three founding organisations – U-turn, Mould Empower Serve (Mes) and Khulisa Streetscapes.

The Coalition is calling for more effective investment into the sector and by society at large, with an urgent need to shift spending from reactive solutions to long term developmental solutions to reduce homelessness and reduce the total cost, both financial and social.

This is in line with the urge by Mes Durbanville for kindhearted residents not to give handouts, but to give responsibly.

Franita Knudsen, a fundraiser and marketer for Mes Durbanville at its new office,

Diewe teiken duur fietse Diewe het duur smaak as dit kom by fietse, te oordeel aan die talle gevalle van diefstal van veral duur fietse wat by die Durbanville-polisie aangemeld word.

Volgens kapt. Marchell Rhode, woordvoerder van die Durbanville-polisie, is die diefstal van fietse steeds ’n groot probleem in Durbanville.

Rhode sê daar is die afgelope ruk ’n bergfiets ter waarde van R5 000 in Hoogstraat gesteel. In Richelieustraat is ’n fiets ter waarde van R15 000 gesteel, en in Kendalweg is ’n bergfiets ter waarde van R8 000 uit ’n agterplaas gesteel.

“In al hierdie gevalle is die fietse onbewaak gelaat. Die diewe teiken veral duur fietse. Daar is ook geen patroon nie – dit kan enige tyd van die week of dag wees,” het Rhode gesê.

Hy het mense gewaarsku om hul fietse in motorhuise toe te sluit of vas te ketting om die diefstal daarvan te voorkom.

called the D4J Centre of Hope, in the old Lions Club building in Queen Street in Durbanville, says by giving handouts, people are maintaining homelessness.

“Homelessness cost Cape Town over R744 million last year. From this enormous amount only 16% was spent on development or long term solutions,” she says (“Tackling homeless in D’ville”, TygerBurger 25/11).

The study was initiated

by U-turn Homeless Ministries in Kenilworth, and supported by the coalition members Khulisa Streetscapes and Mes. “It estimates that there are over 14 000 people currently living and sleeping on the streets of Cape Town and found that we spend in excess of R744 million yearly responding to homelessness,” says Rowen Ravera-Bauer, strategic partnership devel-

opment manager of U-turn Kenilworth.

This equates to more than R50 000 per street person per year.

A total of 45% of this cost is reactive or punitive, in other words measures that do not change or improve the situation, she says.

The study is the first of its kind in South Africa, with similar studies having been conducted in many countries in Europe and North America, as well as Australia.

“The conclusions from these international studies support the findings from the Cape Town study: the cost of homelessness to society and the individuals on the street is far more than we realise,” Ravera-Bauer says.

“Our current spending on homelessness in Cape Town is on ‘cheaper’ relief responses that supports the status quo, allowing the

Stappers en drawwers beroof Die Durbanville-polisie waarsku teen voorvalle waarin stappers en drawwers van hul selfone en slimhorlosies beroof word.

Op Saterdag 28 November omstreeks 07:00 is ’n man wat in Wellingtonweg gedraf het, deur twee mans met ’n mes gedreig, het kapt. Marchell Rhode, woordvoerder van die Durbanville-polisie, gesê.

Hulle het sy slimhorlosie ter waarde van R4 500 en selfoon ter waarde van R3 500 ge-

roof. Niemand is nog aangekeer nie.

In twee afsonderlike voorvalle verlede Maandagmiddag in Kenridge is twee stappers beroof.

In albei voorvalle het twee mans in ’n Kia-voertuig met CA-registrasienommer langs die slagoffers stilgehou en hulle met ’n vuurwapen gedreig en hul selfone geroof. Hulle het die slagoffers daarna met pepersproei in die gesig gespuit en weggejaag.

problem to grow and ultimately exacting a high price from us all, both financially and socially.

“The study unpacks the total cost of street homeless within Cape Town. It includes data from shelter and service providers, the City of Cape Town, Western Cape Department of Social Development, city improvement districts and a Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC) supported survey conducted with people living on the streets,” she says.

The study includes developmental costs such as shelters, food and social support; reactive or punitive costs such as law enforcement and urban management; and humanitarian costs from residents who support people on the street out of concern and compassion.

The study highlights the realities experienced on the streets of Cape Town – both by those who are homeless and those who are attempting to address the issue.

The study has the potential to motivate for more effective spending on homelessness to reduce homelessness and its associated cost, both financially and socially, she says.

In die eerste voorval omstreeks 16:30 het ’n man op die hoek van Tafelberg- en Durbellweg gestap toe die Kia-voertuig langs hom stilgehou het en hy van sy iPhone beroof is.

Net daarna, om 16:56, het die rowers ’n vrou in Tafelbergweg op dieselfde manier van haar selfoon ter waarde van R6 000 en ’n duur beursie met R1 000 kontant daarin beroof.

Rhode het mense met waardevolle artikels by hulle gewaarsku om op die uitkyk te wees vir verdagte voertuie as hulle langs die pad stap of draf. – Esmé Erasmus

Garden to support workers A Staff Wellness and Support (Swells) Committee has recently been established at Tygerberg Hospital with the objective to facilitate enhancement of the hospital’s internal and external physical environment – especially during the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The committee’s founding members are dr Roshni Mistry (chairperson), dr Granville Marinus (treasurer), prof Rafique Moosa, dr Suretha Kannenberg (secretary) and professional nurse, Nora Windvogel.

A wellness park was established recently at the hospital thanks to the committee and with the help of Cape Nature.

“The vision of the wellness park at Tygerberg Hospital is to benefit staff and patients – a vision which was shared with Cape Nature in 2018.

“The project was given momentum with the Swells committee, when planning meetings began in August 2020,” says Laticia Pienaar, hospital spokesperson.

On Friday 20 November, the garden area that Cape Nature assisted Tygerberg Hospital with, was officially handed over.

“This unique partnership with Cape Nature is something to celebrate, especially during the most challenging health pandemic our country is facing,” Pienaar says.

The Swells committee are from left professional nurse Nora Windvogel, prof Rafique Moosa and dr Roshni Mistry with Cape Nature chief executive, dr Razeena Omar, and committee members dr Suretha Kannenberg and dr Granville Marinus.

Exhibition held to raise funds L

ocal artists – all from Durbanville, Bellville and Brackenfell – are presenting an exhibition to raise much-needed funds for Rusten-Vrede Gallery and Clay Museum.

“The Covid-19 pandemic has greatly impacted the art and museum industry, including Rust-en-Vrede. All proceeds of this exhibition will go directly towards running the cultural facility,” says Donavan Mynhardt of Rust-en-Vrede.

The Rust-en-Vrede Rescue Fundraising Exhibition, currently running until 15 December, has been extended to 3 February 2021.

The art gallery was established 37 years ago and since then, many well-established artists had their first solo exhibitions there.

“Literally thousands of artists have come through the gallery and museum doors – either with solo exhibitions, group shows or competitions,” he says.

Broers doen uithou-staptog vir Namibiese woestynleeus DESIRÉE RORKE @dezzierorke Nadat hulle ná 34 jaar uit die polisiediens getree het, moes die kranige avonturiers en Vasbyt-stappers van Brackenfell iets vind “om hulle uit die moeilikheid te hou”.

Bouwer en Laurentius Schoonwinkel (54) van Brackenfell het al oor dekades heen bekend en selfs legendaries geword vir hul jaarlikse avonture en filantropiese werk – iets waarna die gemeenskap nou al jaar ná jaar uitsien.

Die kat is nou uiteindelik uit die sak vir 2021.

“Ná ’n jaar wat letterlik die wêreld op sy kop gedraai het, moet ons iets groots aanpak om uit die 2020-Covid-greep te ontsnap en daar is besluit op ’n uithoustaptog in Namibië om bewusmaking te kweek en geld in te samel vir die lot van die Namibiese woestynleeus, waarvan net 150 oor is,” sê Bouwer.

Met hul laaste besoek aan Namibië in 2018 het hul paaie gekruis met Izak Smit en sy vrou, Inki, en ’n organisasie genaamd Desert Lions Human Relations (Delhra), wat hom daarop toespits om die woestynleeus van Namibië te red.

Tydens hul 2018-besoek het hulle die land van oos na wes deurkruis met ’n epiese 537 km-staptog oor 15 dae – van Buitepos tot in Hentiesbaai.

Die Smits was onderweg na Damaraland en Kaokoland toe die broers hulle by die Brandberg-ruskamp raakloop.

“Die ruskamp-eienaars, Martin Bacsak en sy vrou, Claudia, is ook van die groot dryfvere agter die projek. Martin is ’n man wat diep spore in Namibië getrap het en baie lief is vir die natuur,” sê Bouwer.

“Hier is die saadjie geplant, want hul eenvoudige vraag was, julle loop vir almal, hoekom nie vir die leeus wat hoogs bedreig is nie?”

Namibiese woestynleeus word in ’n baie onherbergsame deel van Namibië aangetref – in Damaraland, Kaokoland en die Skedelkuspark- en Kunene-distrik.

“Ongelukkig moet hulle dit deel met die inheemse bevolking en hul beeste, bokke, skape en donkies en dit is hier waar die konflik ontstaan en die leeus gewoonlik aan die kortste ent trek. Die plaaslike bevolking is veeboere en hulle trek in hierdie woestynland agter weiding en water aan,” sê hy.

Delhra fokus doelgerig daarop om die plaaslike gemeenskappe op te voed om in harmonie met die leeus saam te leef, sê Bouwer.

Die woestynleeus is ook ’n groot toerisme-inkomste vir dié land, waarvan die meeste oorsese toeriste is.

“Die probleem is dat bokke, skape en donkies baie maklike prooi vir die leeus

is en die plaaslike gemeenskap opgevoed moet word om hul diere beter te beveilig.

“So hulle word geleer om beter met die leeus saam te leef en hul diere eerder op kraal te hou – veral in die nag en as daar leeus in die omgewing rondbeweeg.”

Volgens Bouwer word die krale beveilig deur dit te omhein om die toegang vir ’n leeu te bemoeilik.

Kameras en sensors word ook aangebring. “Die plaaslike bevolking word met klappers toegerus om die leeus af te skrik; selfs ’n blaffende hond maak ’n verskil.

“Daar is ook projekte om veral die kinders te leer hoe om beter met die leeus saam te leef, en hulle nie as die vyand te beskou nie.”

Verskeie regeringsdepartemente en nie-regeringsorganisasies werk saam met private ondernemings om die voortbestaan van die Namibiese woestynleeu te verseker.

Die broers sal in 2021 saam met Live the Journey die Namib100 gaan stap ten bate van die veldtog.

Dit is ’n 100 km-staptog oor vyf dae – van duskant Walvisbaai tot by die Eduard Bohlen-skeepswrak wat daar in 1909 gestrand het.

Volgens Bouwer is die staptog baie eksklusief met slegs 18 tot 24 stappers wat toegelaat word.

“Die rede hiervoor is dat die konsessies baie duur is en die terrein moeilik begaanbaar. Maar dit is vir ons ’n ideale geleentheid om die staptog te doen en om geld vir die onderskeie projekte in te samel.”

Bouwer dink met genot terug aan Sylvester en Terrace, seker die beroemdste twee leeus.

“Sylvester is die knaap wat dae lank die hele Suid- Afrika en Namibië aan die raai gehou het met sy manewales,” lag hy.

Sylvester is tans baie gelukkig in die Addo Olifantpark en het onlangs pa geword van sy eie werpsel.

“Ook Terrace het geskiedenis gemaak toe hy soos ’n wafferse Chad le Clos die Kunene na Angola oorgesteek het op 1 Augustus 2013 – dít in ’n sterk vloeiende rivier vol krokodille.

“Hy is ook nie verniet die wêreldrekordhouer vir stap nie. Die knaap het 780 km in 29 dae afgelê.”

Heel gepas dra die broers die veldtog op aan die beroemde Namibiër dr. Japie van Zyl, wat vanjaar oorlede is.

Van Zyl was ’n befaamde Nasa-ruimteingenieur. “Buiten dat hy verskriklik lief was vir Namibië, het die natuur hom baie na aan die hart gelê en sy inspirasie en versiendheid was grootliks te danke aan die pragtige natuurskoon van Namibië.

“As ons almal saam kan droom om by Mars uit te kom, is ek seker ons kan die leeus red,” sê Bouwer.

Die rooivalk, afgeneem in die pinot noir-wingerd, is een van 113 voëlsoorte wat op Mooiplaas waargeneem kan word.

Mooiplaas deur WWF erken M

ooiplaas het onlangs die eerste wynplaas in die Bottelary-streek geword om erkenning te kry as ’n Wêreldwye-Natuurfonds (WWF)-bewaringskampioen.

Dit volg ná die plaas se indiening van die oudit deur die Wyn-en- Spiritusraad se skema vir geïntegreerde produksie van wyn (IPW), wat erkenning gee van die voldoening aan omgewingskriteria.

Die WWF-bewaringskampioenprogram is ’n vennootskap tussen die bewaringsektor en die wynbedryf om die verlies aan bedreigde natuurlike habitat te beperk en tot volhoubare wynproduksie by te dra.

Produsente wat aan die hoogste kriteria vir beste praktyke ten opsigte van volgehoue verbetering in volhoubare produksie en biodiversiteitsbewaring voldoen, kan as bewaringskampioene erkenning ontvang.

Vir kampioenstatus word faktore soos die koolstofvoetspoor, doeltreffende watergebruik, watervoogdyskap en biodiversiteitsbewaring in ag geneem, terwyl ’n IPW-oudit van meer as 70% ook behaal moet word. ’n Spesiale seël waarop ’n Kaapse suikervoël en protea verskyn mag op die wynbottels van die bewaringskampioenprodusente aangebring word.

Mooiplaas dateer uit 1806 en is sedert 1963 in die Roos-familie se besit.

Tielman Roos het in 1995 die Mooiplaas privaat natuurreservaat geregistreer, wat sowat 30% van die plaas se oppervlak van 243 ha beslaan.

Hy het ook ’n sleutelrol gespeel in die totstandkoming van die Bottelaryheuwels-renosterveldbewarea in 2002. Dié gebied is deel van die Kaapse Wynland-biosfeerreservaat, soos gelys op Unesco se wêreldwye netwerk van biosfeerreservate.

Renosterveldplante groei op meer vrugbare grond as ander fynbos en word daarom dikwels vervang met kommersiële gewasse.

Minder as 4% van die Wes-Kaapse oorspronklike renosterveld is nog oor en dit sluit die kritiek bedreigde Swartland-graniet-renosterveld in, wat op Mooiplaas is, sê Roos.

Kleiner wild, meer as 100 voëlsoorte en bedreigde spesies soos die suurpootjieskilpad is al in die Bottelary-bewarea geïdentifiseer en word op die webblad www.bottelaryconservancy.co.za gelys.

Die Bottelary-bewarea se bergfietsroete, wat in 2011 bekend gestel is, bied toegang tot roetes van sowat 80 km. Van die bergfietsroete se geld word aangewend om indringerplantegroei te beheer, sê Roos.

Benewens bergfietsry bied Mooiplaas ook ’n 5,6 km-sirkelstaproete vir buitelug-entoesiaste.

Wynproe en piekniek is nog moontlikhede en die plaas spog met twee wyne wat meer as 90 punte behaal het volgens die Britse wynmeester Tim Atken se verslag, wat in September bekend gemaak is.

Die Mooiplaas Houmoed Chenin Blanc Bush Vine 2019 het 93 punte behaal en die Mooiplaas Pinotage 2019 90 punte.

Vier van die plaas se wyne het ook by die jaarlikse Decantertoekennings gepresteer. Sowat 16 000 wyne is daar blind geproe.

Stadskoor Tygerberg is hoopvol vir nuwe jaar Presies ’n jaar gelede het die Stadskoor Tygerberg uitgesien na ’n besige en opwindende 2020-koorjaar.

Hoogtepunte sou onder meer “Last night at the Proms” saam met verskeie ander kore en die Kaapse Simfonieorkes met Richard Cock, ’n piekniekkonsert by die Kasteel de Goede Hoop en ’n galakonsert insluit. “Niemand kon voorsien dat ’n virus ’n streep sou kom trek deur só baie planne en idees nie,” sê Hester Heunis, ’n woordvoerder van die koor.

“In hierdie stadium is daar nog groot onsekerheid wat 2021 sal bring, maar daar is besluit om proaktief te wees en solank beplanning te doen vir moontlike optredes in die nuwe jaar,” sê sy. In die eerste helfte van die jaar is daar Paasoptredes, konserte by aftreeoorde en ’n moontlike piekniekkonsert by die Kasteel op die program.

Voorlopig sal die koorlede op Donderdag, 14 Januarie 2021 vir die eerste keer weer bymekaar kom. Omdat koorlede in Maart laas saam gesing en gekuier het, sal die geleentheid die vorm van ’n piekniek of sing-a-long aanneem net om mekaar weer te vind en die stemme weer aan die gang te kry.

Daar word ’n oefennaweek vir Vrydag 12

Die Stadskoor Tygerberg is hier tydens hul laaste optrede verlede November by die Bishops Chapel in Rondebosch.

Februarie en Saterdag 13 Februarie beplan.

Al hierdie geleenthede sal geskied met inagneming van al die Covid-19-regulasies en -protokols.

“Dit sal vir die koor ’n groot voorreg wees

om weer, sodra toelaatbaar, deur ons sang en musiek vreugde en vermaak aan ons ondersteuners te bring.”

Die koor wil graag sy getalle uitbrei, spesifiek die mansstemme. “Ons koorleier, Peter

Roux, sal vandeesmaand met oudisies begin.

Dit sal voorlopig geskied deur middel van ’n selfoon-stemopname,” sê sy. Belangstellendes tussen 18 en 55 jaar kan hul besonderhede stuur na stadskoor@gmail.com.

Gewilde sous se naam die wenner DESIRÉE RORKE @dezzierorke

“D

Neels Kleynhans en sy Moer Op Als-sous is die wenner van die Afrikaanse Handelsnaam van die Jaarkompetisie.

is ’n moerse honour!”

Die maker van “moer lekka” souse en braaikoning extraordinaire, Neels Kleynhans van Wellington, was stomgeslaan toe hy die aankondiging hoor: “Moer Op Als” is die amptelike wenner van die Treffendste Afrikaanse Handelsnaam vir 2020, ’n kompetisie van die Woordeboek van die Afrikaanse Taal.

Almal wat hom ken, sal weet dat Neels se entoesiasme aansteeklik is en sy sin vir humor oneindig. Ook, raak hy nie uitgepraat oor sy breinkind, Moer Op Alsbraaisous, nie.

Die Moer op Als-handelsmerk is twee jaar gelede in sy kombuis in Durbanville gebore toe hy besluit het om sy eie braaisous te maak.

“Iemand het dit op Facebook voorgestel, nadat ek gevra het vir aanbevelings oor alternatiewe vir die gewone braaisouse op die mark,” sê Neels.

So het hy begin eksperimenteer en kort voor lank motorhuis toe getrek met sy sousmakery. Sy eerste twee bottels het hy aan Facebook-vriende verkoop en teen Januarie 2019 was die eerste bottel Moer Op Als-sous op ’n winkelrak.

Maar hoekom Moer op Als? “Moer was nog altyd een van my gunsteling- Afrikaanse kragwoorde. Dit is ’n lekker stoute woord en hy rol so lekker van die tong af.

“Met my eerste resep-probeerslag het ek sommer alles ‘bymekaar gemoer’ in ’n emmer. Die uiteindelike sous het ‘moer lekker’ geproe, en die res, soos hulle sê, is geskiedenis.”

Neels sê hy het aanvanklik vrese gehad oor of die publiek die vloekwoord gaan aanvaar.

“Maar ek was aangenaam verras om te sien hoe mense dit oor en oor koop.”

Die Moer Op Als-handelsnaam het sedert 2018 só gegroei dat selfs die buurtkinders hom die “Vloek Oom” met die “Vloeksous” noem.

“Suid-Afrikaners het Moer Op Als as ’n handelsnaam omhels. Maar hulle koop nie

net die woord nie, hulle koop ook ’n baie lekker sous.”

Die vraag na die produk het so groot geword dat Neels moes uitbrei na die Weskus, Boland, Gauteng en die Oos-Kaap.

Moer op Als het ook onlangs twee vennote aan boord geneem weens dié aanvraag.

Maar, sê Neels, moedeloosheid het amper sy drome verongeluk.

“Mense weet nie hoe baie kere ek gesit en huil het nie en amper moed op gegee het as ek vir dae lank sonder sukses van winkel tot winkel gery het en sous uit my bakkie moes verkoop.

Daarom deel hy graag advies uit aan nuwe entrepreneurs.

“Die toets vir ’n ware entrepreneur is hoe jy reageer terwyl jy wag vir die regte geleenthede. Passie, goeie beplanning en deursettingsvermoë gee die deurslag. En onthou, vir elke nuwe entrepreneur word nuwe werksgeleenthede geskep. Dit ’n wenresep vir ’n sterk Suid-Afrikaanse ekonomie.”

En oor die kompetisie sê hy: “Dis ’n baie koel kompetisie en ek het nooit eens gedink ek sou regtig wen nie. Dit was krultoon-lekker om te sien hoe meer mense Afrikaanse woorde vir handelsname begin gebruik.

‘Brave Heroes’ gedenk ESMÉ ERASMUS ’n Bewusmakingsprojek om die helde van die Covid-19-pandemie in gemeenskappe bekend te stel en te eer, is Maandag begin.

Die veldtog deur Project Brave Heart, ’n nie-winsgewende program by skole wat hom beywer om boeliegedrag te stop, gaan sowat ses maande duur, waartydens mense helde in hul gemeenskappe kan nomineer.

Die top-10 “Brave Heroes” word op 7 Mei aangekondig, waarna die algehele wenners op 31 Mei bekend gemaak sal word. Nasionale Brave Heart-dag word ook op 7 Mei gevier.

“Ons almal is deur ’n baie moeilike jaar en dit is nou die tyd om dankie te sê. Die idee het daaruit ontstaan dat mense die boelieprobleem met negatiwiteit getakel het, maar ons wil dit op ’n positiewe manier benader deur helde te vereer, sê Maiveen Boehme. Sy het die program in 2018 begin nadat sy self as kind op skool geboelie is en jare later ook haar dogters.

Sy meen die fokus is verkeerdelik op boelies en die negatiwiteit van boeliegedrag.

“Deur dankie te sê en na mekaar te kyk, keer jy dat mense mekaar boelie en mense stel dus ’n voorbeeld vir mekaar,” sê Boehme.

“Nie-winsgewende maatskappye soos ons is seker nou die laaste maatskappye waaroor mense bekommerd is, tog dra ons die land in baie opsigte.

“Met die veldtog verander ons mense se denkwyses en sê dankie vir mekaar, en kry daardeur geld vir ons projekte.

Dus is dit ’n wen-wen situasie vir almal.

Hoe meer helde ons kan aanwys, hoe meer vennote kan ons help,” sê sy.

Besoek #BRAVEHeroes South Africa op Facebook vir stories van mense wat helde vir ander tydens 2020 was.

Mense kan ’n “Brave Heroe” nomineer deur “BRAVEHERO” na 42210 te stuur.

Inskrywings kos R30 elk en word outomaties van jou selfoon verhaal. Dis ’n eenmalige donasie.

“Ons wil graag maatskappye aanmoedig om hul personeel in te skryf, aangesien personeel soms onder moeilike omstandighede moes werk,” sê sy. Maatskappye kan meer as een hart aanlyn op www.projecbraveheart.co.za koop.

“Ons gaan nie kyk na hoe groot ’n daad was nie, want soms is dit die klein dingetjies in die lewe wat saak maak. Iemand kon dus vir jou data gekoop het, kos gekoop het, emosioneel bygestaan het of tyd met jou spandeer het.

“Wat wel belangrik is, ons wil weet hoe dit daardie persoon wat hulp nodig gehad het laat voel het,” sê sy.

“Ons glo dit gaan ’n geweldige impak op ons land en sy mense maak. Dit is ’n baie positiewe boodskap van heldedade en wat ons eintlik vir mekaar beteken – dat ons wel kan saamstaan as ’n nasie in moeilike tye,” sê Boehme.

Dit is terselfdertyd ook ’n fondsinsamelingsprojek vir Project Brave Heart se teenboelieprojek by skole.

“Ons moet probeer om die agterstand van die afgelope boekjaar in te haal om sodoende by meer en meer skole uit te kom om boeliegedrag heeltemal hok te slaan,” sê sy. Sy beoog ook om die program virtueel op te neem.

“Ons was net goed op dreef toe Covid19 ons land en sy mense getref het. Al ons programme by skole is gestaak; dit was ons hoofinkomste,” sê sy.

DANKIE VIR DIE ONDERSTEUNING VAN DIE STAD SE ELEKTRISITEITSDIENSTE-SPANNE Dankie aan ons klante vir hul geduld terwyl ons die diensaanbod tydens die COVID-19inperking moes beperk.

Sedert Junie het ons aandag gegee aan meer as 150 000 diensversoeke. Selfs gedurende die spitstyd van die COVID-19-inperking het ons daarin geslaag om meer as 90 000 versoeke op te los.

Weens die COVID-19-veiligheidsmaatreëls kon ons nie aan sekere versoeke aandag gee nie, soos individuele straatligonderbrekings. Ons het sedertdien ’n volledige diensaanbod hervat.

Daar is groot hoeveelhede COVID-19-agterstandversoeke, spesifiek oor die herstel van straatligte. Ons is besig om hierdie so vinnig as moontlik te hanteer.

Diensversoeke en afhandelingstye kan ook beïnvloed word deur enige skielike COVID-19verwante sluiting van depots.

Weereens baie dankie en wees asseblief veilig.

Street children fall through the cracks DESIRÉE RORKE @dezzierorke

W

ith impossibly high caseloads and a shortage of social workers, the holistic well-being and development of street children are being hindered.

Thus, hundreds of vulnerable children fall through the cracks, never getting the help they so desperately need.

To this end the Western Cape Street Children’s Forum (WCSCF) in collaboration with the Western Cape Child Protection Collaborative (CPC) – in response to the Draft Amendment Bill of the Children’s Act – put forward a submission to parliament last week to have discussions about critical systemic issues. The Collaborative requested to

appear before the parliamentary committee in person. It was formed in 2017 is made up of several entities, which has a wide network in the northern suburbs of Cape Town.

“It is a civil society child protection movement made up of practitioners and professionals with the aim to lobby government agencies for efficacy in child protection,” explains Janice King, director of WCSCF. “We want more clarity on the term, ‘wellbeing and development’, used in the Bill. We feel it should read holistic development, otherwise it could be interpreted as just one aspect of development,” she says.

“And, with reference to funding of facilities, do we have transparency on how funds are prioritised and allocated? If so, where do we access this, how and when? When do

these discussions and processes take place?

And how can the community or those working in the sector be consulted?

“Also, municipal processes pertaining to early childhood development centres are not clear enough. There are many unregistered, unmonitored community-based organisations that provide care and protection services to children. They often do not know that they must apply for registration or even that norms and standards exist. When these organisations are brought to the attention of the provincial social development department, they only want to register the organisations if they are able to fund them. This means that many organisations remain unregistered and unmonitored.”

Moreover, there are an inadequate num-

ber of funded posts for social workers in the childcare and protection system, hence the backlog and caseloads.

“The Children’s Act says that a designated social worker should have a maximum of 60 clients, but most that we come across in the city have 200-300 cases, not taking siblings into account. With excessively high caseloads, social workers are expected to do a job that is actually impossible and therefore terribly unpleasant.

“It results in a high turnover of social workers as they are themselves abused by ‘the system’, and vulnerable children not receiving the service they desperately need.”

The closing date for public comments was Friday 29 November, after which parliamentary processes begin.

Golf day boosts quadriplegic home T

he Andries Olivier Durbanville Quadriplegic Centre received a much-needed boost with its successful golf day on Friday 13 November with a full field of 128 players.

However, the annual golf day at Durbanville Golf Club was their only fundraising event this year due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The home in Hafele Street in Durbanville is now dependant on its party hire service to fill the remaining gap.

The home rents out from tables, chairs and linen to crockery, cutlery and glasses for parties and events.

The centre is managed by 12 residents, who have to raise the necessary funds to sustain it. The government subsidy covers only about 15% of their expenses and the residents are responsible for the monthly shortfall of about R20 000, says Rosabelle Riese, a resident and coordinator of the golf day.

All funds raised by the golf day went towards this monthly shortfall, she says.

“On behalf of all our residents, we convey our sincere gratitude to the golfers who supported our golf day. Our arrangements star-

ted during the country-wide lockdown. Our perseverance and the golfers’ willingness to participate was a recipe for success,” Riese says.

“We were surrounded by awesome people on the day – the golfers, of whom many regulars who have become friends of our house, as well as new faces, and our sponsors,” she says.

The sponsors include Fair Cape Dairies, PostNet Durbanville, Spiro’s Mega Mica, NicheCo, Durbanville Golf Club and Checkers, as well as the sponsors of prizes. They were Ryan Wilkinson, Naudette Peachey, Elschen Keevey, Hollow Tree/ Devil’s Peak, Annemarie and Chris Opperman (Deli Take Aways) and Natalie Batt (Bossa).

Riese also thanked their “very efficient ‘crew’, who so willingly and unselfishly gave up their time to make our day successful”.

These people assisted with registration, transport, shopping, catering, selling raffles, setting up the banqueting hall, layout of prizes and prize-giving.

“Their general running around on behalf of all our wheelchair users is absolutely heartwarming and highly appreciated. When

The second prize winners, Robin Friester (second from left) and Lionel Benting (third from left), received their prizes from Regardt van Rensburg (left), club captain, and John Hamilton (right), life member.

we reflect on the challenges we faced throughout 2020, we will look back on our golf day with pride and think of 128 golfers who took time out of their busy schedules to support our only fundraiser for the year,” she says.

The next annual golf day will be presented on 5 November 2021.

LEWENSKIEKIE

‘Aaptwak’ nou wettig, maar ...

Papegaaislaai, aaptwak, ganja, weed, noem dit wat jy wil, maar dis mos nou, party sal sê uiteindelik, wettig in SuidAfrika.

Só wettig dat die een daggaklub ná die ander nou in die land geopen word. Want daar is blykbaar skuiwergate in die wet wat dit moontlik maak.

Solank jy nie daarmee handel dryf nie, blyk dit, is almal gelukkig.

Ek lees in die koerant dit werk só: Jy sluit by die klub aan en hulle kweek vir jou ’n plantjie op hul privaat perseel.

Wanneer jy die behoefte voel, kan jy van jou eie plant op die perseel gaan nuttig. Hulle kan seker lekker muffins ook daarvan maak. Maar jy kan dit rook ook, of gemeng met alkoholvrye bier geniet.

Ek hoor selfs gerespekteerde lede van die gereg, soos polisiebeamptes, het al by die klub aangesluit.

Hulle kan, want ingevolge die wet word niks onwettigs gedoen nie.

Die klub sê: “we consume cannabis for the same reasons people wear glasses – to improve your view of the world”.

Helaas en uiteindelik, sal party mense ook sê, want die groen slaai is al lankal wettig in ander lande.

Vat nou maar Nederland, waar mense lankal in Amsterdamse restaurante so ’n ou twakkie saam met hul koffie kan bestel.

In San Francisco, Amerika, is ’n daggastoppie net ’n oproep ver. Dis ’n kwessie van bel en bestel, en dit word afgelewer.

Presies vyftig jaar gelede het in skrille kontras hiermee die volgende beriggie in die koerant verskyn: “Nog ’n daggaplant het in ’n Paarlse tuin kop uitgesteek.

Onderwyl werkers in die tuin gewerk het, het hulle op die verdagte plant, wat sowat 18 duim hoog was, afgekom. Hulle het die eienaar daarvan verwittig, wat dit uitgetrek en die polisie ontbied het. ’n Speurder het dit uitgeken as dagga en dit weggeneem. Daar word vermoed dat die saadjie in die tuin gewaai is.”

Wel, wel, wel, hoe het dinge nie verander nie!

Van die polisie wat jag maak op al wat daggaplant is, tot klubs waar selfs húlle so nou en dan uitslaan vir ’n rookdingetjie.

Moet net nie die twakkies koop of verkoop nie, want dit bly onwettig.

Intussen het die Daggaparty van Suid-Afrika ook tot stand gekom. Op sy webwerf word 14 redes verstrek waarom dagga goed is vir die mens. Dit bevat Omega 3, 6 en 9 in presies die regte verhouding vir hart- en geestesgesondheid. Die aktiewe bestanddeel THC is ook goeie medisyne teen onder meer pyn, naarheid, asma, depressie en alkoholisme.

Boonop beveg dit kankerselle, word op die webwerf gesê.

Destyds, toe ons op skool was, sou mense omtrent ’n oorval kry as hulle gehoor het so en so gebruik dagga.

Die kruid is hand en tand beveg en dit was omtrent die skande van alle skandes as iemand papegaaislaai gebruik.

Maar helaas, mense wat die plantjies tuis kweek moet ook maar ligloop vir die gereg, want as daar te veel is, kan maklik vermoed word dat iemand dit kweek vir verkoop.

Nie te lank gelede nie is so vyf plantjies deur die polisie afgevat en is in die media groot gewag gemaak van die “daggaplantasie” wat hulle ontdek het.

En dit alles beteken net een ding: Never say never. Wat vandag onwettig is, is dalk môre wettig. – Werner van Tonder

“Die kruid is hand en tand beveg en dit was omtrent die skande van alle skandes as iemand papegaaislaai gebruik.”

Respect for lost lives: Flags across the country flew at half mast as a tribute to lives lost as a result of Covid-19 and victims of genderbased violence in line with President Cyril Ramaphosa’s directive that the country observe a few days of mourning between Thursday 26 and Sunday 29 November. “Many South Africans have experienced the terrible loss of a loved one to one of these two pandemics and we send our condolences to all of those grieving at this time,” says Alan Winde, Western Cape premier.

“Kan jy gou na my kantoor toe kom?” vra die menslike hulpbronbestuurder. Haar sagte stem klink onseker.

Dis vreemd. Gewoonlik kom sy na my as my departement enige aangeleenthede het wat my aandag vereis.

Ek het amper altyd nie tyd om na enigeen te gaan nie.

My departement vereis baie aandag en baie tyd. Dit is seker ’n topbestuur implementasie wat ’n groter kantoor as myne vereis waar meer mense moet sit dink ek. “Dis reg. Ek maak gou die e-pos waarmee ek besig is klaar, dan stap ek na jou”.

Ek gaan my spelling en leestekens na en druk die stuurknoppie.

Die helder blou lug en sonskyn is opvallend vandag, dink ek, terwyl ek na haar kantoor stap.

Ek klop, word gesê om in te kom en maak so …

“Hello jy,” hoor ek haar sê.

“Dankie vir gister se eetgoed met jou verjaardag”.

Haar oë lyk onseker, dink ek. Sy sien ek sien die omgedraaide pakkie A4-papiere op die tafel. Dit laat haar ongemaklik lyk.

“Voor ek begin, wil ek hê jy moet weet ek stem nie hiermee saam nie ... maar ons moet poste sny. Covid het ons erg geknou. Jy is een van die ongelukkiges. Jy moet einde van die week gaan. Ek is so jammer.”

Die res van die formaliteite is ’n gesuis in my ore … en ek hoor nie veel nie.

Gelukkig ken ek dit, maar vandag is ek aan die ontvangkant.

Oppad terug na my kantoor skyn die son nog net so helder, maar die wind het opgesteek.

HARDWERKENDE GESINSMAN E-pos

Too easy to step on a racial toe I have no connection at all with the Brackenfell High School, any of its pupils or their parents, neither do I write on their behalf.

That having been said, I do consider a reply to EV Rapiti’s letter (“Brackenfell violence, an issue for serious deliberation”)in TygerBurger of 25 November is necessary.

The Constitution guarantees the right to protest, but, this right is to be exercised in a peaceful manner. Unfortunately that proviso appears to be forgotten by all the “protesters” and, as was the case when they “protested” at the Clicks shops, the EFF came to Brackenfell not to protest but to riot.

The reason for their “protest” was a case of perceived racism, based on an unproved allegation, which was subsequently denied, which denial stands unchallenged and was accepted by the local MEC for education.

Your correspondent, Rapiti, appears to agree with the EFF that the private party was a “racial gathering” because it was attended by white pupils only. The parents are criticised, as well as the teachers who attended and the MEC is suspected of possibly “pandering to the salivating appetite of her racist followers”.

The Constitution also guarantees freedom of association. This means that I may invite to my private party whomever I wish. That is my right. The number of guests is irrelevant and when somebody is not invited he, she or it, has no cause for complaint.

The fact that those not invited were classmates with the invited pupils, or were in the same rugby or hockey teams gives them no right to an invitation.

When a host invites some people and chooses not to

invite others, there is no duty to provide reasons to the uninvited for their being not on the list of guests.

Whether the parents did invite some pupils of colour to the party or not is equally irrelevant, except that, if they did, it proves that the party was not exclusively for white pupils only. If the person invited chooses not to come, for whatever reason, that cannot reflect negatively on the one extending the invitation. There could be many reasons, other than racial preference, why the party was attended by white pupils only or why only those white pupils were invited.

It is irresponsible to jump to conclusions and shout “racist” on the mere fact that only white pupils attended a private party. I fear that on those grounds I, too, would be accused of racism because I did not, and never have, invited a single person of colour to my birthday party.

I have also never accused the people of colour whom I have met and worked with, of being racist for failing to invite me to their weddings or birthday gatherings.

Unfortunately race has become such a touchy subject that one can hardly move without stepping on a racial toe. Perhaps it is time that the hysteria stops and all people simply carry on with their lives and earn a living, which is hard enough in this time of Covid.

WILLEM DE HAAN Welgemoed

Fisantekraal not neglected As local ward councillor of Fisantekraal, I would like to respond to certain claims by Mr Timothy Wildschut in last week’s TygerBurger (“Fisantekraal neglected”, 25 November).

He is absolutely right in stating that residents have a right to services such as streetlights, and water and sanitation. What he fails to state, is that residents do not have the right to break down infrastructure as soon as it is fixed.

There is not an area in the whole of Durbanville that receives more attention, capital and operational city budget, than Fisantekraal.

We have a responsibility to ratepayers to spend their money well.

If you spend massive amounts of money on the same things over and over again, it is considered fruitless and wasteful expenditure, not maintenance.

I know Mr Wildschut only wants the best for Fisantekraal, but one must be conscious about your message in achieving this.

The focus should be on behavioural changes within the community, not falsely letting the community believe they are being treated unfairly. If you are serious in bringing about change, statements should be based on facts and root causes addressed.

RUAN BENEKE Ward councillor: Ward 105

VERMAAK

Coenie en Deon bring Karoo Suite D

eon Meyer en Coenie de Villiers se gewilde Karoo Suite-produksies word beskryf as die “mooiste liefdesbrief aan die Karoo”.

Karoo Suite en Karoo Suite 2: Karoonagte is op Donderdag 10, Saterdag 12 en Sondag 13 Desember by die inryteater van die Atlantic Studios, die tuiste van die kykNET-sepie Suidooster, te sien.

Albei produksies word elke aand ten bate van die Suidoosterfees en die Jakes Gerwel Stigting se liriekskryf-mentorskapprogram aangebied. Dis ’n “double feature” soos in die inryteaters van ouds – kompleet met ’n pouse vir burgers en melkskommels.

Meyer vertel die stories op die verhoog, terwyl De Villiers saam met ’n orkes vir musikale begeleiding sorg. Die aanbieding word aangevul met foto’s en videomateriaal van die Karoolandskap deur die National Geogra-

phic-span, Nasa, Deon Meyer, asook animasiewerk deur Diek Grobler.

Meyer en De Villiers se talente sorg vir ’n gedugte kombinasie. Karoo Suite het gehore by verskeie feeste en teaters in vervoering gehad, en het daarna landswyd uitverkoop.

Die produksies bestaan uit verskeie bewegings waarin die landskap van die Karoo, sy mense en hul vreugdes en pyn op hartroerende wyse verken word. Die musikale span sluit van die land se bestes in: Mauritz Lotz op kitaar, Jaconell Mouton op klavier, David Klassen op tromme en perkussie en De Villiers self agter die klavier.

Kaartjies is by Computicket beskikbaar teen R400 per motor (met tot vier insittendes).

Daar is slegs 40 BBP-kaartjies per aand teen R300 per persoon beskikbaar vir binne-in die Atlantic-ateljees.

Meyer en De Villiers beywer hulle lank reeds vir die ontwikkeling van jongmense met potensiaal. Hul eerste produksie kon, in samewerking met die Atterbury Trust, bykans ’n miljoen rand skenk aan leerders in die Karoo.

Die opbrengs van hierdie kaartjieverkope sal aangewend word om die liriekskryf-mentorskapprogram uit te brei met werksessies wat voortaan in die Karoo en Kaapstad aangebied sal word.

As deel van dié ontwikkelingsprogram kry liriekskrywers die geleentheid om by die Suidoosterfees en KKNK op te tree.

Videos available for schools The coronavirus pandemic has forced many artists to be innovative. One creative force that chose to move their project into the digital space is The Lady Day Big Band (LDBB).

This month they are launching the Schools’ Outreach Project, a programme of video tutorials and live performances, aimed at encouraging and inspiring women and girls to step into a musical domain usually seen as the male preserve.

By exploring their talents playing the trombone, saxophone and trumpet, to name a few, the project hopes to inspire them to consider a career as instrumentalists.

Funded by the National Arts Council, the LDBB founders, Lana Crowster, Kelly Bell and Amanda Tiffin, designed the Schools’ Outreach Project to roll out to a number of schools in the Western Cape in March this year.

When the pandemic hit, they decided to go digital. They developed a series of video tutorials and live performances which will be available to any school or music teacher.

“I have always dreamed of starting a big band that would provide a platform for pro-

fessional women musicians to showcase their talents in a safe space. This project is also about inspiring girls and young women who may have a passion for music. I want them to see us doing what we love, doing it well and in professional spaces, and see our successes as aspirational,” says Lana Crowster, founder of the LDBB. The Lady Day Big Band is a 20 piece, professional all women big band. The band features a revolving roster of women musicians who are passionate about music and music education.

The tutorial videos feature Kelly Bell (trombone), Amanda Tiffin (conducting), Claire Rontsch (Saxophone), Tracey Johannes and Annemie Nel (drums and electric bass), Hayley Joorst and Christin Rohl (trumpet) and Lana Crowster (vocals and band leading). The videos will be made available for all schools who are interested during December.

V Any interested music teachers can contact Lana Crowster to receive free access to the videos at contact@crowsnestproductions.info or visit www.crowsnestproductions.info for more information.

Die NG kerk Uitsig in Ridgeworth hou tans sy jaarlikse Kersmark. Die mark, wat tot 11 Desember duur, is een van min wat nie afgestel is weens die Covid-19-pandemie nie. Nielen de Klerk het feesmarkbesoekers gevra om vinnig hul maskers vir ’n foto af te haal.

Links is Liezl Cronjé met haar dogter, Lara (8), voor. By hulle is Annene Egen. Die groep is almal van Durbanville en was baie opgewonde oor die mark.

Istie en Johan Koegelenberg van Chrismar in Bellville het gesê hulle kon omtrent nie ophou kyk na die kreatiewe goed nie.

Charmaine Stokol en Dawie Carolus van Goedemoed het vir die eerste keer die mark besoek en dit as “indrukwekkend” beskou. Hulle was op soek na spesifieke plakkers vir hul skuifdeur, wat ’n vrou van Vredendal maak.

Give yourself a gift this December F

or most of us, 2020 cannot end soon enough.

Before we bid farewell to one of the most challenging years in history, some of us have important financial decisions to make, like what to do with that much-anticipated bonus, or little nest-egg we’ve scraped together.

While the impulse to treat yourself may be strong, Rawson Property Group’s finance and home experts say a little restraint and planning can create much longer lasting results. Here are their top ways to get enduring bang for your end-of-year buck, and turn any extra money into a gift that keeps on giving.

Give your bond a bonus “It does not seem very exciting on the surface, but when it comes to getting huge value for your money, there is nothing better than investing it into your bond,” says Leonard Kondowe, national admin hub manager for Rawson Finance.

“Just a few hundred Rands extra can knock thousands off the interest you pay on your home loan, and bring financial freedom tangibly closer.” While the results of depositing extra money into your bond can be dramatic, Kondowe advises homeowners not to expect immediately visible results.

“You are not going to suddenly see your

“Now is an outstanding time to get into the property market,” says Kondowe.

to move on,” Cape Town regional sales manager for the Rawson Property Group Craig Mott says.

“You do not have to spend a huge amount either. There are plenty of cost-effective upgrades that will add value to most homes.”

According to Mott, eco-friendly upgrades are popular and effective choices.

These include simple fixes like switching your lights to LEDs and replacing tap washers with water-saving versions, to more significant upgrades like adding a few rainwater tanks or installing a grey water system.

“Those with more outdated properties would do well to put any extra money towards kitchen and bathroom upgrades, or renovations to turn outdated floor plans into more modern, open-plan spaces,” he explains. Outdoor entertainment areas are also popular, and can deliver a great return on investment, as can security upgrades like CCTV and motion-activated lighting.”

Durbanville gaan weer stem dik maak in klubkrieket SAREL BURGER Wanneer klubkrieket vroeg in Januarie weer op dreef kom, sal Durbanville weer een van die spanne wees om goed stem dik te maak.

In ’n vriendskaplike wedstryd die afgelope Saterdag teen die sterk span van Rondebosch, het die Durbies (144/4) met ses paaltjies geseëvier.

Met Bradley Petersen (3/25) en Tashwin Lukas (2/11) aan die voorpunt van Durbanville se boulaanval is Rondebosch vroegdag tot slegs 1 543 lopies beperk, waarna Jean Strydom (57*) en Bradley Barnes (51) met onder meer ’n derdepaaltjie-vennootskap van 66 lopies die knoop deurgehak het.

Daar is terloops nog geen uitsluitsel oor

wie van Durbanville en Rondebosch die WP se Premierliga-klubkampioen vir die vorige seisoen was nie.

Die Durbies het ’n kortkop voor die Kaapse span op die punteleer geëindig, maar Rondebosch het beswaar gemaak oor die oorwinning wat Durbanville in ’n ander wedstryd behaal het omdat die Tygerbergers van ’n ongeregistreerde speler in daardie wedstryd gebruik sou gemaak het.

Die aangeleentheid is in Maart, na afloop van die vorige krieketseisoen, na die bestuur van Krieket Suid-Afrika verwys, maar as gevolg van die chaos vanjaar by die KSA-hoofkantoor het die tugkomitee van KSA hom nog nie verwerdig om oor die WP-kwessie te besin en ’n oplossing te vind nie.

Conor Hughes took home honours in the Masters category.

Veld ingewy Wanneer skolerugbyspanne voortaan by die Curro-skool in Durbanville gaan besoek aflê, sal hulle in die Kaapse winterweer nie meer met modderbaddens en triestige toestande te doen kry nie.

Die eerste volgrootte sintetiese rugbyveld in Suid-Afrika is verlede Dinsdag by dié skool ingewy.

Op Stellenbosch is daar wel ook ’n soortgelyke kunsmatige rugbyveld, maar dit is net ’n kwart van die voorgeskrewe grootte.

Daarby voldoen Curro se Britse ontwerpte “turftech”-veld – wat ’n hele paar miljoen rand gekos het – aan wêreldstandaarde. ’n Uitstekende spreiligstelsel sal binne afsienbare tyd ook aangebring word om wedstryde in die aand moontlik te maak.

Mettertyd sal ’n spesiaal ontwerpte krieketmat in die middel van die rugbyveld aangebring word, wat dit geskik sal maak vir wedstryde waarin laerskoolspanne deelneem.
