THE TERRACE AT D’ARIA: MANAGER ESCAPES; TWO ARRESTED
Kidnap ordeal at midnight ESMÉ ERASMUS
I
n a dramatic turn of events, the manager of The Terrace Restaurant at D’Aria on Tygerberg Valley Road outside Durbanville was robbed at knifepoint on Friday night just after midnight. He was kidnapped and driven around before he could escape. Two suspects were arrested. The manager had already locked up the premises at about 00:05 on Saturday 5 September and was already at his car, a Hyundai Atos, to go home when he was threatened by two men. The men were armed
with a knife. They forced him to open the restaurant again and open the safe. They took R6 000 cash out of the safe, said Capt Marchell Rhode, spokesperson of the Durbanville police. The men then took the manager’s car, forced him into the back seat and drove with him in the direction of Dunoon informal settlement. They then ordered him to phone his employer and tell him to pay a ransom, before he could be released. According to information received, the manager could not get an answer at that time of night and the suspects continued to

drive around in the hope to get an answer later. The suspects later drove in the direction of Kuils River, where the manager managed to jump out of the car near the police station. He reported the incident at the police station and was taken to Durbanville police station, where the charge was laid. The manager’s car was later found parked in Greenville in Fisantekraal. According to Rhode the police monitored the car and saw a suspect in the car at about 03:00. They arrested the man. Another suspect was arrested at about 05:00 and some of the money was recovered.

The two suspects will appear on charges of business robbery, hijacking, kidnapping and extortion in the Bellville magistrate’s court this week. According to a spokesperson of The Terrace, they already had 24-hour security on the farm before the robbery, but have sharpened it even more. “The suspects knew the farm and was opportunistic and managed to get past our security,” he said. According to him they now hired a private security company, which will accompany the manager when he closes the premises at night.

eer as 30 000 kospakkies is sedert die begin van inperking weens die Covid-19-pandemie aan behoeftiges in Durbanville-omgewing uitgedeel, waarvan die meeste in Fisantekraal en op omringende plase. Subraad 7 het verlede Woensdag (2 September) ’n spesiale geleentheid gehou om al die gemeenskapsorganisasies te bedank wat gehelp het om die kospakkies te verpak en te versprei. ’n Sertifikaat van waardering is namens Subraad 7 aan al die stadsgebaseerde en nieregeringsorganisasies in die Durbanville-
omgewing oorhandig. “Dit was regtig ’n fenomenale poging om soveel kospakkies in ons onmiddellike area te versprei. Daar is egter nog soveel mense wat op kleiner skaal bygedra het deur sop te maak, met die verspreiding te help, wat finansieel bygedra het, of selfs net na onmiddellike vriende en familie omgesien het,” het Ruan Beneke, raadslid vir wyk 105, wat Fisantekraal insluit, gesê. “Ons is regtig innig dankbaar vir elke persoon se bydrae – hoe groot of klein ook al. Ons wens ons kon aan elkeen van diegene ook die nodige erkenning gee,” het hy gesê. “Covid-19 het weer eens bewys watter goeie harte Durbanvillers, en ook Suid-Afri-
kaners as ’n geheel, het. “Ek dink die meeste van ons in plaaslike regering was ietwat stomgeslaan oor die hoeveelheid hulp wat aangebied is, asook die groot hoeveelheid mense wat bereid was om te help wanneer hulle genader is,” het hy gesê. Onder die organisasies wat sertifikate ontvang het, was Olympians, Josiah Trust, Waumbe Youth Development, Fisantekraal CAN, Durbanville-gemeente, Mercy Aids, Tygerberg-Rotariërklub, World United, El Shaddai Christian Church, Joostenbergvlakte Community Forum, Sprouting Minds, Durbanville Katolieke kerk en Stellenberg-buurtwag.

Jimmy enjoys walks and sunbathing, and is partial to a tasty biscuit or two.
The Fisantekraal Animal Welfare (FAW) has several dogs up for adoption, of which six that are still remaining at the shelter in Melkbosstrand. Their aim is to get these six dogs out of the shelter and into foster care or forever homes in the next couple of months, says Jenni Davies, spokesperson for FAW. “Mamacita is a smaller dog and she would like a home where she gets tummy rubs galore as they are her favourite thing in the whole world. “She may be a senior dog at eight years old, but she is alert and playful. She is ideal for a home which can only have one dog. If she has a dog friend, she prefers males. She is alert and protective,” Davies says. Jimmy is a goofy guy who gets on with everyone and doesn’t need much to keep him happy. He is a medium-sized mixedbreed dog of around five years of age, with medium energy levels. Billy is a medium-sized mixed breed dog of around seven years of age. He has been waiting for a home since 2014. “Madame thrives on attention and really is a super dog, even if she isn’t very ‘exotic’ looking. She is eight or nine years old and has just had a full vet check, at which she was pronounced in excellent health. Madame is protective, low-maintenance, and small-medium size,” Davies says. Home checks apply. An adoption fee of R600 covers vaccination and deworming up to date, micro-chipping, sterilization, and a vet check. Fostering, however, is free.

here aren’t many people as innovative and passionate about their jobs as Sue van der Linde. In fact, it’s almost a full-time job keeping up with the activities held at Iris House Children’s Hospice in Bellville, where she is the founder and chief. And now she may even receive a bit of recognition for her hard work. Van der Linde has been selected as a finalist in the 6th annual Santam Women of the Future Awards. The awards, presented in partnership with Fairlady and TrueLove, aim to celebrate female entrepreneurs in South Africa. Van der Linde is one of three social entrepreneur finalists and the only one from the Western Cape. “Being recognised for my contributions to the special needs sector is a great honour,” Van der Linde says. “As a finalist, I am elated to be among a group of professionals who are doing such amazing work in their fields.” Iris House Children’s Hospice provides free respite care from their premises in Stikland. What started in 2011 as an organisation with 12 children receiving communitybased respite care has now become an organisation serving 526 children across Cape Town. Not only do Iris House workers serve in around 46 communities, but they also offer equine therapy, adaptive surfing and a doggy daycare protective workshop for their high functioning adults. They also offer family days out, support groups, overnight care, physiotherapy and sibling events. They have a sustainable vegetable garden and often donate parcels to their neediest families, a therapy dog she trained herself, a sensory room and garden. Their fundraisers are no less diverse. One of the most recent was a series of online cooking showcases, an attempt to regain a bit of their funds during the worst of the
Sue van der Linde, head and founder of Iris House Children’s Hospice, alongside Alfred the therapy dog. lockdown levels. Yet nothing of this would have existed if Van der Linde didn’t volunteer for a hospice herself. She was living with her family in the UK, where she was born, when she started working part-time at Julia’s House Children’s Hospice in Dorset. Up to that point Van der Linde had worked for Edcon in South Africa in corporate buying, helped her husband with his internet marketing business, owned a restaurant and an interior design business. The last thing on her mind was starting a hospice back in South Africa. Her volunteer work changed her life. “Caring for life-limited and life-threatened special needs children was something I knew nothing about whatsoever, but with fantastic training from Julia’s House coupled with a newfound passion for special
needs children, I soon found my feet and found the role not only amazingly fulfilling, but also it created a 360-degree-shift in my thinking.” She started valuing things she took for granted before – like her family, her husband Ferdi, and sons, Saul and Lance. “I felt extremely humbled by these amazing children and their parents. Life had moved me in a new, rewarding and wonderful direction.” She started doing night classes and obtained a qualification in social care. After living in the UK for eight years, and volunteering for five of those years, the Van der Linde family returned to South Africa, where Sue knew she was going to use her skills for change. Iris House Children’s Hospice opened its doors in 2011. “My first point of call was the then Premier of the Western Cape, Helen Zille, who understood the respite care model. She then ensured that our first ‘big’ funding amount of R2.4 million was received from the provincial social development department. We are now a R4-million-business and still growing with no sign of slowing down any time soon.” Most of their funding is still received from government, as well as several corporate partnerships. Van der Linde’s next big challenge is preparing young children, diagnosed with autism, to be able to attend school. “Without this intervention, many children just don’t get into schools as their behaviour is deemed ‘uncontrollable’ by the school system.” She hopes to open an autism centre soon. She admits to being a bit of a workaholic but says she’s been working consciously to correct the balance. “I attend yoga twice a week and ensure that I have some weekends free for family time and just relaxing. Studying and practising mindfulness has assisted me in this regard.” VTo vote for Sue in the Santam Women of the Future Awards, SMS the word “Sue” to 37174.
Jazz masterclasses to precede online festival Talented young musicians from across the Western Cape submitted online audition videos for this year’s edition of the Artscape Youth Jazz Festival, scheduled to take place in virtual format in October. Artscape announced online jazz masterclasses will be opened to all who auditioned for the festival. The festival’s musical director, Amanda Tiffin, says: “Everyone who auditioned stood out in terms of their playing ability, their energy and style. “The level of playing and performance was outstanding, so it was very difficult to choose only a few.” The masterclasses are scheduled to take place online between Monday 14 and Sat-
urday 19 September. It will comprise a class for each instrument given by industry professionals, plus several workshops about the business of music. Those selected for the performance recordings in October will also participate in song-writing sessions, rehearsals and the final performance. They will be mentored through this process by Tiffin and a team of jazz industry professionals. The Artscape Youth Jazz Festival was launched in 2003 with the aim of democratising the arts in South Africa. Artscape CEO, Marlene le Roux, says: “The focus of the programme has re-
mained dedicated to providing skills development within the Jazz genre. This enables young Jazz musicians to take the experience forward into their careers and educate others in the process.” Because of the Covid-19 pandemic, instead of a live audition, aspiring participants were required to submit an audition video via online platforms. Participants from the northern suburbs who were selected to perform are: Kara Snethlage (24, guitarist) from Sunningdale, Joshua Barnes (24, vocalist) from Milnerton, Lerato Skhosana (23, pianist) from Table View and Manasse Kitanda (24, guitarist) from Cravenby.

Bellvilliet se boek help jonges ’n Gratis aanlyn boek vir jongmense is onlangs vrygestel en die skrywer hoop om ander daarmee aan te moedig om hul drome “vreesloos na te jaag”. In die boek Rou real rebel, deur Líomee Vosloo, word verskeie lewenstemas in storieformaat gedeel. Temas sluit in die egskeiding van ouers, teleurstelling, rebellie, trauma, depressie en die soeke na liefde. Vosloo, ’n oudleerder aan die Hoërskool Bellville en radio-omroeper by Radio Kaapse Kansel, sê die boek “spreek tot die hart van tieners en studente”. Dit gee ook ’n kykie aan ouers en onderwysers in die gedagtes van die hoofkarakter wat emosioneel met dié temas worstel. Sy sê jongmense gaan gebuk onder moeilike kwessies, waarvoor hulle nie Líomee Vosloo reguit antwoorde in die samelewing ontvang nie. Sulke kwessies het veral in die inperkingstyd toegeneem, waar jongmense ook met konflik en gesinsgeweld gekonfronteer word. Hierbenewens plaas sosiale media ongesonde druk op hulle om ’n sekere beeld voor te hou, om in te pas. Die boek is in samewerking met die aanlyn inspirasiekanaal @niePlastiek bekend gestel.
www.nb-hearing.co.za
Die temas in die boek is soortgelyk aan die lewenstories van verskeie bekendes wat op @niePlastiek uitgesaai word. Bekendes wat openhartig op die platform deel, is Melinda Bam, Simoné Nortmann, Karlien van Jaarsveld en vele ander akteurs, sangers, asook nasionale sportmanne. “Bekendes in die webreeks staan saam teen die neiging van ’n perfekte lewe wat op sosiale media uitgebeeld word, met die hoop om jongmense met die waarheid te inspireer. Meer as ooit moet jongmense op relevante maniere met die regte inligting bereik word,” vertel ’n woordvoerder van @niePlastiek. “Onder jongmense is daar ’n behoefte aan antwoorde en ’n stem dat hulle nie alleen met hul kwessies hoef te worstel nie.” Vosloo werk as radio-omroeper in die ontbytprogram by Radio Kaapse Kansel, in die Tygervallei-area. Die boek is uitgegee deur Pioneers Arise Media en kan gratis aanlyn by www.nieplastiek.co.za afgelaai word. Mense kan ook op die webtuiste ’n donasie gee vir toekomstige internskappe vir jongmense by @niePlastiek.

S
wendelaars adverteer na bewering hul dienste as dié van ’n bekende plaaslike DStv-installeerder, en kul talle niksvermoedende kliënte so. Eers as die kliënte die ware Pope TV Installations kontak om hul halwe werk te kom klaarmaak, besef hulle hulle is deur ’n nabootser gekul. Volgens Adéle Pope is sy en haar man, Norman, al jare lank die eienaars van Pope TV Installations, ’n DStv-geakkrediteerde installeerder wat al 25 jaar bestaan. “Ons het kantore in Durbanville, met voertuie met ons firma se naam op, asook tegnici met uniforms met ons logo, asook rekeningboeke met ons logo,” sê sy.
“Ons het al vantevore opgelet dat iemand onder Pope TV op die internet met net ’n selfoonnommer sy dienste adverteer. Die laaste paar maande egter bel kliënte ons om werk te kom klaarmaak, waarvoor hulle al betaal het. “Maar dan blyk dit ons was nog nooit by die kliënte se huis nie. As ons hulle begin uitvra oor die werk en wie dit gedoen het, dan was dit glad nie ons nie,” sê sy. “Die mense wat wel daar gewerk het, laat die kliënte verstaan dat hulle vir Pope TV werk en skryf selfs ons firma se naam op hul rekening. “Hulle ry egter nie voertuie wat met ons logo gemerk is nie, dra nie ons uniforms nie en gebruik Croxley-rekeningboeke,” sê Pope. Volgens haar het ’n kliënt haar verlede
Donderdag weer gekontak en gevra hoekom die tegnikus so ongeskik was en haar huurder gedreig het. “Wel, dit was nie ons nie! Ons wou soontoe gaan, maar die kliënt wou nie hê dat ons betrokke raak nie. Ons is baie trots op ons firma, lewer die beste diens moontlik en wil graag gelukkige kliënte behou. Hierdie mense gee ons firma ’n slegte beeld en die kliënte word ook te na gekom,” sê sy. Volgens haar het hulle nog nooit klagte by die polisie aanhangig gemaak nie, omdat die selfoonnommers van die nabootsers gedurig verander. Sy het gesê mense moet seker maak hulle het ’n geakkrediteerde installeerder, of as hulle van Pope TV Installations se dienste gebruik wil maak, dat hulle die regte firma nader.
Teamwork leads to Durbanville arrest Community teamwork keeps people safe from crime – and is bad news for any would-be criminals. This was certainly the case in Durbanville on Wednesday 2 September when cooperation between local security companies and neighbourhood watches led to the arrest of a housebreaking suspect. “The Durbanville Camera Initiative (DCI) control room received a report of a male suspect who had fled after he allegedly stole items from a home in Sultana Street in Sonstraal. “A description of the suspect was transmitted to armed response and neighbourhood watch members in the Sonstraal area,” says Verena Hulme, Cape Town North district manager of Fidelity ADT. As a result of the coordinated effort by
patrolling Fidelity ADT armed response officers and members of the local neighbourhood watch, the suspect was spotted where he was jumping over walls and moving from one property to another. “He was apprehended and handed over to the police. Well done to everyone involved in this case. It shows what a difference can be made when we all work together and show a united front in the fight against crime,” says Hulme.
Jonathan de Bruin of Fidelity ADT was one of the armed response officers who helped to track down a housebreaking suspect.
Fraud cases increase in Durbanville ESMÉ ERASMUS With money scarce and criminals in abundance, now more than ever before people must be resilient when it comes to their money. Capt Marchell Rhode, spokesperson of the Durbanville police, warns that fraud reports have increased sharply in Durbanville over the past month. Whether you are buying a puppy online, or sell valuable items on online platforms such as Gumtree, make sure you receive the puppy or the money for your item before you part with it, Rhode says. “People are selling or buying valuable items on Gumtree, and then lose their money or never receive the items they have bought. Rather make cash transactions when selling your items, as EFT transactions are often reversed immediately or false proof of payment is sent,” Rhode advises. In a new scam, beautiful dogs or cats are being advertised on Gumtree. “After you pay for your new pet, the seller will ask for more money to protect your dog or cat from the coronavirus, for injections or special cages for transport. Buyers then often never receive their new pets,” he says. “The latest trend at ATMs is that bank cards get stuck. Do not ask strangers to help you or enter your pin,” he says.

offerings to the public, says Hamlin Jansen van Vuuren, curator. There will be live music, curated stalls and public talks focussing on gardening, a ceramic planter exhibition in the clay museum, an art auction, giveaways and more. Covid-19 safety regulations will be implemented.
Toastmasters to meet online Siemens Toastmasters Club will be meeting online on 17 September at 19:00. The theme is “The Big Screen”, a tribute to how movies have helped get us through this pandemic and have made us laugh and cry in the past. Join their meeting from the
comfort of your own home and discover the knock-on effects this public speaking programme can have on your confidence, time management, leadership development, social life and communication skills. Contact Bronwen on WhatsApp on 082 458 1972.

Bekende in die Durbanvillegemeenskap en in landboukringe is Saterdagaand ná ’n stryd teen kanker oorlede. Pierre van Vuuren (82), alombekend as Proppie, was sy lewe lank by verskeie gemeenskapsorganisasies betrokke en was ’n kampvegter vir gemeenskapsake, asook veral vir die behoud van Afrikaans. Hy was bekend daarvoor dat hy nie gehuiwer het om hom oor sake uit te spreek nie. Hy was onder meer jare lank lid van die Durbanville-landbouvereniging, die Durbanville-erfenisvereniging, asook die Durbanvillegemeenskapsforum en Die Manneklub. Volgens Johannes Loubser, voorsitter van die Durbanville-landbouvereniging, was Van Vuuren lid van dié vereniging so lank as wat hy kan onthou, minstens 20 jaar ’n bestuurslid en het hy 11 jaar as voorsitter gedien. Hy was met sy afsterwe reeds jare lank ’n erelid van die vereniging. “Hy het ’n groot rol in die landbougemeenskap gespeel, veral in die Durbanville-omgewing. Hy het nie ’n vergadering misgeloop nie en het met ons laaste vergadering in Maart nog reg langs my gesit,” het hy gesê. Loubser het gesê hy was ’n matriekseun en voorsitter van die junior landbouvereniging van die Landbouskool Boland in 1985 toe hy Van Vuuren leer ken en hom as gasspreker na een van hul vergaderings genooi het. “Ek is baie hartseer oor sy heengaan. Hy het nooit opgehou om aktief deel te neem en ’n bydrae te lewer nie. Hy het graag ons vergadering met gebed geopen en altyd iets gehad om te sê as dit kom by kwessies soos grondsake. Hy sal baie gemis word,” het hy gesê. Denise Robinson, parlementslid, het aan TygerBurger gesê as voormalige raadslid en parlementslid het sy baie by Van Vuuren gaan kers opsteek. “Sy kennis van die geskiedenis, die dorp en die landbou was verstommend. Ons het saam die Durbanville-erfenisvereniging gestig nadat die Durbanville 200-fees in 2006 gehou is, want ons het besef dat soveel kennis verlore gaan, asook die waardige ou geboue, plaasgrond, omgewing en artifakte. “Ons het gevoel dat die karakter van die omgewing bewaar moet word voordat dit heeltemal ver-

Wat ’n ervaring – die koets en perde wat die burgemeester na die fees gebring het, die orreluitvoering en mense se ervarings van toentertyd! “Pierre kon ’n mens lekker laat lag as hy begin staaltjies vertel. Ons as erfenisvereniging wou nog ‘Stoepstories’ vanjaar gereël het, maar toe kom Covid-19 en moes ons al ons planne opsysit. Pierre van Vuuren het diep spore in ons gemeenskap getrap en ons bring hulde aan hom vir sy deelname en insette. “Pierre was ’n reguit mens en het gehou by sy beginsels. Rus sag, Pierre – jy sal voortleef in ons gedagtes,” het sy gesê. Van Vuuren is in Kaapstad gebore en het in Bellville en Pretoria grootgeword. Hy het aan die Hoërskool Bellville gematrikuleer. Hy het daarna ’n BSc-graad aan die Universiteit Stellenbosch en later ’n
MSc-graad in weiding en graangewasse behaal. Sy bynaam, Proppie, dateer uit sy eerste jaar tydens ontgroening. Van Vuuren was lank verbonde aan die universiteit se landboufakulteit, waar hy as navorser proewe op plase uitgevoer het. Hy het daarna by Fedmis en Kynoch gewerk, en as hooflandboukundige in die WesKaap by Kynoch afgetree. Van Vuuren en sy vrou, Esmé, het saam skoolgegaan, maar eers later begin uitgaan toe hulle by ’n Jooloptog herontmoet het. Hulle sou op 6 Oktober 58 jaar getroud gewees het. Hulle het altesame 53 jaar in Durbanville gebly, waarvan die afgelope sewe jaar in die La Gratitudeaftreeoord. Hulle het vier dogters, Rentia Nel van Wolseley, Aldia Anker van Durbanville, Naudene Nel van Worcester en Esmé Smit van Citrusdal. ’n Gedenkdiens word Saterdag om 10:30 in die NG kerk Durbanville gehou.

Curro makes local history with online chess C
urro Sport, Curro Holdings’ sporting division, recently hosted the biggest school online chess tournament in South Africa – a local first. Two learners of Curro Independent School in Durbanville won their respective age categories. They were Emlyn Wilson (u.10) and Kahill Dhevcharran (u.18). This Inter Curro chess tournament was held on Saturday 22 August and 234 primary school and 103 high school learners participated. The event took place on the Lichess.org platform and was facilitated by Kenneth Willenberg from the Chess Academy South Africa and Mercia Addinall from Curro Holdings. “During lockdown, e-sports has become an incredible opportunity for learners to
connect in a fun, competitive space; in lieu of them traditionally meeting face-to-face for sporting events,” says Cindy van der Merwe, project manager of Curro Sport. “To further add to the excitement, due to the success of this tournament, chess has been awarded ‘Curro Cup status’ in 2021. This means chess will be one of the twelve sports codes that make up the 2021 Curro Cup competition,” Van der Merwe said. The Curro Cup is a first of its kind for Curro Holdings and South Africa, and is set to reshape the landscape of school sport within the Curro group of schools. Thousands of Curro learners in SA will compete in national inter-school events for rugby sevens, soccer, netball, hockey, tennis, athletics, swimming, golf, mountain biking, and now chess.

ith Spring upon us more and more outdoor enthusiasts are considering a visit to public parks, nature reserves and national parks to return to nature, following the ease of lockdown restrictions. One of the places often frequented by outdoor lovers is the Tygerberg Nature Reserve, a conservation area which forms part of the City of Cape Town’s biodiversity network. The reserve is host to several fauna and flora and is open to the public daily between 07:30 and 18:00. Visits to the reserve were restricted during the Covid-19 lockdown period, but since the announcement of alert level 2 of the disaster management act’s regulations, the park has been reopened. “The reserve is open and ready to welcome visitors back,” Marian Nieuwoudt, Mayco member for spatial planning and environment, told TygerBurger last week. According to Nieuwoudt, however, the reserve is implementing several safety measures to reduce the spread of Covid-19 and it also encourages social distancing among vi-

placed at the entrance leading to the cash office in order to guide visitors to stand at least 1.5 metres away from each other while wai-
ting to make a payment. Information notices have also been placed at the gate and cash office, informing the visitors of the no mask, no entry policy in place. Visitors are also encouraged to make use of the sanitiser provided at the gate house prior to, and after making a payment. The access gate is left open to encourage ease of movement and to limit contact when visitors are entering or exiting the reserve, and visitor control officers are constantly reminding visitors to the reserve to be aware of safety practices, explains Nieuwoudt. According to the City, hand sanitiser is available at the econo-loo ablution at the top of the hill as well. “Our staff have limited contact with visitors and only when necessary. The field rangers are constantly patrolling the reserve to ensure visitors comply with the health and safety protocols. “There are numerous pathways and picnic benches across the reserve, therefore we do not find large crowds of visitors in one area all at once. “Hikers and fitness enthusiasts have been enjoying access to the much loved trails at the reserve since its opening,” Nieuwoudt says.
Groenteplasie in Bottelary-heuwels help honger stuit DESIRÉE RORKE @dezzierorke ’n Nuwe bestaansboerdery teen Fischerpad in die Bottelary-heuwels beoog om hongersnood in dié landelike area te help stuit. Mielies, broccoli, pampoen, slaai, ertjies, boontjies en kool is verlede week aangeplant nadat die grond in Augustus voorberei is. Vandeesweek gaan die verbouing voort wanneer blomkool, wortels, uie, aartappels en tamaties aangeplant word. Lede van die Bottelary-plaasgemeenskap bewerk self die grond om voedsel aan die omringende gemeenskappe te verskaf. Die inisiatief vorm deel van die visie van die nie-winsgewende organisasie Shiloh in
Brackenfell en is deurgevoer deur verskeie rolspelers met die hulp van ’n paar vrygewige boere in die Stellenbosch-omgewing. Dorkas in Brackenfell, die Kuilsrivier Kingdom Group en die NG kerk Sonstraal was ook by die projek betrokke. Genaamd “Vars Visie” sal die bestaansboerdery in die komende maande, te midde van die Covid-19-pandemie, ’n groot voedselnood in dié gemeenskap help verlig. Soos die hongersnood vererger het, het die donasies minder geraak en dit was juis dié krisis wat die visie geïnspireer het om vars voedsel te verbou, sê Delene Kleyn, projekbestuurder by Shiloh Synergy. “As ons hande vat met ’n gewillige gemeenskap, kan groot dinge deur gewone mense gedoen word,” sê sy. Hester du Toit en haar oorlede man,
Ds. Braam Hanekom (regs) en Hester du Toit is saam met plaaswerkers tydens een van hul besoeke aan die nuwe plaas.
Francois, van Brackenfell, het voorheen verskeie gemeenskapsgroentetuine in die area begin. “Kanker is in 2016 by Francois gediagnoseer en die projek het stadig doodgeloop omrede dit nog nie volhoubaar was nie,” sê Kleyn. In Junie vanjaar het Mandy Nel van die Kingdom Group in Kuilsrivier Hester aangespoor om die projek te laat herleef. Kleyn het vinnig ’n span bymekaar gekry en daar is begin om navorsing te doen oor die beste plek om die boerdery te begin. ’n Boer, Pieter Bestbier van Goede Hoopplaas, het by die visie ingekoop en ’n groot stuk grond op die lang termyn voorsien. “Die projek is basies binne ’n paar dae van stapel gestuur, met verskeie borge soos Starke Ayres, wat aan boord gekom het met toerusting en sade,” sê Kleyn. Ds. Braam Hanekom van die Sentrum vir Publieke Getuienis het die hele span en die omliggende plase se inwoners kom besoek om opleiding te verskaf.
Lede van die gemeenskap bewerk die grond.
Twee gemeenskapsleiers het ook in Julie verdere opleiding by Learn to Live in Wallacedene ontvang. “Die plaas sal broodnodige voedsel aan die plaaslike gemeenskap voorsien. Ons vat hande met die gemeenskap en ’n span gaan weekliks uit en help met die beplanning en aanmoediging. Die span raak holisties betrokke by die gemeenskap en dit het reeds binne weke uitgebrei na ’n biblioteek, voorsiening van speelgoed, klere, ander benodigdhede, asook berading.” Die groot uitdaging is nou om water te voorsien deur die aanlê van pype na die naaste dam; hooi om die sade mee te beskerm en kompos. “Ons verwelkom Afrikaanse boeke vir die kleinspan, ou buitebande, klere en speelgoed, kompos en tuingereedskap. Dit kan by die Shiloh Synergy-kantoor in Brackenfell afgegee word,” sê sy.

ACKNOWLEDGING AND CELEBRATING AGRI WORKERS FOR THEIR ROLE IN ENSURING A SUSTAINABLE FOOD SUPPLY
VAN ALGEMENE WERKER TOT TWEEDE IN BEVEL Daniel Thana, wat reeds 27 jaar werksaam is op Groot Constantia, se toegewydheid, werksetiek en selfdissipline het bygedra tot sy status as een van dié spogplaas se beste werkers. As jong man het hy as algemene werker begin, waar die bestuur van die plaas sy potensiaal t i l raakgesien k i en h hom na d drie i jaar bevorder het tot hoof van die trekkerdrywers. Toe die voorman pos vakant raak, het die bestuur hom aangemoedig om aansoek te doen. Groot was sy verbasing toe hy hoor sy aansoek was suksesvol en tans beklee hy reeds 14 jaar hierdie pos. Volgens Daniel is sy belangrikste taak om seker te maak dat die werkers van Groot Constantia gelukkig is in hul werk. Daar is 69 werkers in sy span en vier spanleiers staan hom by deur daaglikse verslaglewering. Een van Daniel se loopbaan hoogtepunte was toe Groot Constantia in 2015 die prys vir die beste Chardonnay 2013 gewen het. LANDBOU KYK NA SY KINDERS Ongegund, ‘n wynplaas in die Durbanville wynvallei, is baie trots op die prestasies van Ashwin Willemse, ‘n jong man wat hard werk om sukses te behaal. In 2016 het Ashwin Graad 10 by Durbanville Hoërskool begin, met die hulp van Durbanville Hills Werkerstrust. Dit was ‘n groot aanpassing, maar het hom nie onder gekry nie en in 2018 slaag hy matriek. Daarna is hy na Boland Kollege vir ‘n nasionale diploma in gasvryheidsbestuur. Ashwin se drome sluit ook in om die wêreld te sien en ‘n internasionale sjef te ontmoet. Hy is ‘n tree nader aan die droom, want hy het die wêreldbekende sjef, Joern Toepfer (die “Travelling Chef”) by Durbanville Hills ontmoet toe Toepfer ‘n internasionale televisieprogram opgeneem het en sommer ‘n onderhoud met Ashwin gevoer het! ‘N HELDER STER IN MOEILIKE TYE Môresterretjies Speelskool is n kleuterskooltjie op die plaas
Morgenster, buite Durbanville, wat sy deure in 2010 oopgemaak het vir die kleuters van landbouwerkers van die omgewing. Dit is n veilige, opvoedkundige hawe vir 22 kleuters tussen die ouderdom van 3 en 5 jaar, met personeel ook afkomstig van omliggende plase. As gevolg van COVID-19 is die kleuters sedert 27 Maart 2020 by die huis en eerder as om die skool se 10de verjaarsdag te vier, staar die skooltjie uitdagings in die gesig. Ten spyte daarvan kon die skool tydens hierdie tyd werkspakkies aan die kleuters verskaf. Kontak is behou met ouers via WhatsApp, waar idees verskaf is oor hoe om die kleuters te stimuleer. Die skool het ook kospakkies aan gesinne verskaf om die nood te verlig. Hopelik open die skool binnekort en wie weet, dalk word daar nog partytjie gehou! DE GRENDEL’S JACINTHA SEPTEMBER Jacintha, who grew up in Riverlands (a small town close to Malmesbury) dreamt of becoming a nurse. As there was no money for studies, she started casual work as a general hand for a labour contractor. Jacintha had to fight hard for a place on the contractor’s bakkie to ensure she earns a day’s wage. As the years passed, his business grew and Jacintha moved up to supervisor. The farms they worked on included De Grendel Estate, the biggest contract. The employer-employee relationship between Jacintha and the labour contractor was difficult at times, but Jacintha learned a lot and loved the mentorship and friendliness. He unfortunately passed on and the Riverlands community remains grateful as he provided many with an income. After his passing, Jacintha was permanently employed by De Grendel Estate. It is now ten years later and she loves her job and the people she works with. They are a close knit team who shares problems and stand together. According to De
Grendel’s viticulturist, Jacintha stands out as a leader with vast knowledge and experience. She was elected by the workers to represent them and she did not disappoint - ensuring all work as a unit and destroying the communication barrier between workers and management. VOL SIRKEL VIR WILLIE EN KLEIN ROOSBOOM Op Klein Roosboom in die Durbanville Wynvallei het die wiel vol sirkel gedraai vir twee plaaskinders - Willie Fielies en Nicol de Villiers. Willie (of Dora soos almal hom noem) het dit beslis nie maklik gehad nie. Hy was bloedjonk toe hy op ’n plaas begin werk het om te help kool oes. Met ‘n kunsmissak as reënjas, het hy koolkoppe groter as sy eie kop aangedra. In 1988 begin Dora vir Jéan de Villiers op Klein Roosboom as trekker- en vragmotor bestuurder werk. Hy kon ook sweis, sowel as trekkers herstel en diens - alles vaardighede wat Jéan hom geleer het. Jéan se seun, Nicol, was altyd saam met Willie op die trekker en het letterlik voor Willie grootgeword. Willie het waardering vir die lekker jare se werk onder Jéan. Volgens Willie is hy ten volle vertrou en tydens die eienaar se verlof, het Willie selfs die plaas se sleutels gedra. Sy dood was vir Willie‘n baie pynlike ervaring. Hy bly vir Willie ‘n inspirasie en held weens jare se saamwerk en kosbare herinneringe. Met Jéan se seuns aan die stuur van die boerdery, is daar nou baie ander bedrywighede, soos die kelder en die Jéan restaurant. Willie sê hy en sy vrou, Rodina, gaan tot hul dood op die plaas bly; hulle is immers ‘n familie op Klein Roosboom. Willie se oë blink en ‘n wye glimlag speel om sy mond as hy vir Jéan se seuns kyk en sê: “Voor
ek eendag gaan, sal ek hier iewers ‘n paal plant wat jul nooit sal uitkry nie…” CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME On 26 March 2020 at midnight, it all started...Level 5 Lockdown. Everyone thought it would only last for 21 days, not months. Vergelegen Estate already had an extremely high standard in terms of Health and Safety protocols and the staff adapted quickly to the new requisite COVID-19 protocols. All employees received a ‘We-Care’ pack that included a digital thermometer, two masks and hand sanitizer plus a comprehensive, educational COVID-19 information pack, encouraging sanitizing, social distancing, wearing of masks, etc. The Vergelegen residents were issued with information packs regarding the COVID-19 regulatory protocols and informed on the protocols during lockdown, for example that no external visitors were allowed. The hospitality teams wanted to contribute to the COVID-19 cause. Therefore Vergelegen joined other stakeholders via the Ubuntu Feeding Scheme, a feeding scheme which ensured the local vulnerable community members received assistance. Vergelegen still supplies 200 meals a day, from their two restaurants, to the vulnerable communities in the Helderberg area. Vergelegen takes the saying “Charity starts at home” very seriously. They ensured their own retired, senior citizens, and the unemployed households on the estate were supplied with food hampers from the second week of lockdown until the initial pressures of lockdown was easier to manage.

Kan dit nie wag tot ná die lente nie? “Dis heerlike lente, die winter’s verby. Weer nodig die velde, vir jou en vir my…” Dit is die mooiste tyd van die jaar. Die blommetjies blom. Die insekte is aan die gang en bestuif waar hulle kan. En die voëls bou nessies en lê eiers. Selfs hier in die stede kan ons die verandering in die natuur sien. Maar nie vir lank nie ... want nou, waar ons die natuur op sy mooiste kan ervaar en bly kan wees oor God se skeppingswonder, hoor ’n mens die geskree van “weed eaters” en grassnyers. Ons lewe in ’n tyd waarin al hoe meer mense bewus geraak het van die omgewing en die krisis waarin dit is. Ons leer vir ons kinders dat ons respek moet hê vir die natuur; dat ons moet “rethink, re-use and recycle”. Ons doen moeite om die aarde op te pas ... en dan gaan sny ons die velde in ons dorp kaal in blomtyd en broeityd. Dit maak net nie sin nie. ’n Goeie voorbeeld hiervan is die ontydige kaalsnyery van die oop stuk grond langs Frans Conradie-rylaan, langs die Gereformeerde Laerskool. Hierdie veld word deur tarentale, vleitinktinkies, rooivinke, Kaapse flappe, Kaapse kanaries en oranjekeel kalkoentjies as broei- en voedingsarea benut. Daar is selfs al ’n nes van ’n Kaapse kwarteltjie gevind. Hoe het die getalle van baie
van hierdie voëltjies nie afgeneem oor die afgelope jare nie? Vat nou maar net die rooivinke (Red Bishop) en Kaapse flappe (Yellow Bishop) – groot swerms wat eens die prag van die Kaap was. Om nie eens te praat van die pragtige veldblomme wat voor die voet afgesny word nie. Nie net is hulle esteties belangrik nie, maar ook vir die voortbestaan van duisende insekte waarsonder ons nie kan lewe nie. Die gras moet gesny word. Vanuit ’n veiligheids- en brandbestrydingsoogpunt moet dit gedoen word. Maar is dit nodig om dit in die lente te doen? Kan ons nie asseblief ekologies wyser wees en dit sny wanneer ons die natuur nie so onder druk plaas nie? Wat van Junie en Desember? FOOTSTEPS TO GOOD HOPE ECO YOUTH, E-pos
Die plastiek-euwel Nes Erik (“Verminder jou plastiekgebruik”, TygerBurger, 25 Augustus) voel ek ook sterk oor die misbruik van plastiek. Ek is verstom dat soveel produkte nog verpak word in plastiek, wat nie herwin kan word nie. So pas het ’n bekende supermark begin om hul hoenderporsies op ’n stewige stuk swart plastiek te verpak en bo-oor word nog ’n laag deurskynende plastiek gebruik om dit lugdig te verseël. Tevergeefs het ek gesoek vir die teken wat wys dat dit herwinbaar is. Almal geniet hul hoender, maar hoe gaan stortingsterreine oor ’n jaar of wat daar
uitsien met duisende van hierdie verpakkings? Met ons Kaapse Suidooster sal dit die wêreld vol waai. Dis nie asof dit die hoender lekkerder of varser hou nie, want die enkele keer wat ek dit gebruik het, het die hoender ’n muwwe reuk gehad. Ek sal nie weer hoender koop wat in so ’n verpakking is nie. ANTI-PLASTIEK, Durbanville
Maak ’n plan met werksoekers Kan daar asseblief tog ’n plan gemaak word met die mense wat op die hoeke in Darwinstraat in Kraaifontein rondlê en wag dat iemand vir hulle moet werk gee, veral op die hoek van Darwin- en Dan Kingstraat. Hulle lê met hul bene in die strate. As hulle raakgery word, sal daar natuurlik weer ’n groot bohaai wees. Ek stel voor dat die munisipaliteit ’n sentrale punt vir werksoekers maak sodat die mense wat werkers nodig het, na daardie plek kan gaan om iemand op te tel, soos wat gebeur in George. Dit sal ook die strate ’n bietjie skoner hou. Die rommel lê oral waar hulle rondsit. Die werkers wat dan nog op enige ander plek rondlê, moet ’n boete kry. Die boetes moet ook vir die sakkrapers tel, want so kan dit nie aangaan nie. Op vullisverwyderingsdag lyk die strate en sypaadjies skokkend. Mense moet ophou om vir hulle kos, klere of komberse te gee. Die goed lê oral rond. BEKOMMERDE EIENAAR Kraaifontein
Plastieksakke gewilder as drank Talle mense sal met Erik (“Verminder jou plastiekgebruik”, TygerBurger, 25 Augustus), asook David (“Mensdom verniet aarde”, TygerBurger, 2 September), saamstem betrekkende die gevare van plastiek, maar hulle ongelukkig niks verder daaraan steur ná die menings gelees is nie. Ek raai albei aan om by veral kleinhandelaars ’n tydjie deur te bring en bewus te raak van Suid-Afrikaners se gewoontes. Om ’n “ou” plastieksak saam te bring, is ’n las of vernedering! En dan kla dieselfdes van die hoë onkostes, maar betaal 87 sent per sakkie. En daarby, hou net die kassier dop. As die eerste item neergesit word, gebeur die volgende: Hy/sy vra of die onkoste van ’n sakkie bygevoeg moet word met die arm klaar gereed om ’n sakkie te gryp – al is daar net een item. Ja-nee, talle (die meerderheid) gee nie om oor die toekoms van die mensdom of die seelewe nie. Kyk maar net hoe waai die plastieksakke rond in die strate. En natuurlik die tweeliterkoeldrankbottels wat keer op keer, by die ton, by winkels afgelewer word. Dit wil voorkom dié is definitief meer gewild as drank. Selfs gedurende die inperking kon winkels nie byhou met voorraad nie. D. BEELDERS Vasco

Big new development, notices ‘unseen’ THABANG KUAHO @thab_journo
A
notice for residents to submit their comments regarding the proposed construction of a mixed-use development on vacant land in East Rural has caused a concern to a Buh-Rein Estate resident, who says the notice is not easily readable for passersby. The sign is situated on the corner of Darwin Road and Amadeus Drive. If approved, the mixed-use development will include residential, business, civic properties as well as a railway station among others. Mark McEwan says he decided to stop on the side of the road after driving past the “ghost sign” for a number of times. “The location of the sign is inconvenient. The print on it is so small that motorists would need to get out of the car and stand very close to read it,” he says. He says the development is one that will affect many people from neighbouring communities. “Public participation is very important when a planned development is considered,” he says. Mayco member of human settlements, Malusi Booi, says the City is aware of the location of the notice. “We do not agree that the signage is not noticeable. This is not a marketing or advertising notice, which is normally larger.” Booi adds that this was not the only method of notification regarding the Darwin Road housing project. “Two newspaper adverts were also placed (local and regional) notifying the broader public of the pro-
posed project,” he explains. He says the site notices are bigger than the environmental impact assessment regulations prescribe. “Further to this, four more notices were erected on other locations, two at the end of Amadeus Drive and two along Canary Road. The required size is A2, but the signs on this development were printed A1.” Apart from putting up notices and newspaper articles on such matters, Booi says the City also sends out email notifications to people who will be affected by the projects. WhatsApp messages are also sent. “Both communication methods are used with the numbers and email addresses that are available to us.” The Darwin Road development project was first proposed in November 2014 and a number of basic assessments followed soon after that. “The process was undertaken between 2016 and 2019 and concluded with the issuing of an environmental authorisation,” says Booi. Lukhozi Consulting Engineers, the appointed environmental assessment practitioners, says the public participation process is a supplementary impact assessment undertaken in response to an appeal that was submitted by a law firm which acted on behalf of BuhRein property developers. Lukhozi says once the comment period closes, all comments received will be responded to and included in a report that will be submitted to the local government minister, environmental affairs and development planning. “The minister will consider all the com-
Buh-Rein Estate residents Oliver Cusick and Mark McEwan next to the site notice on the corner of Darwin Road and Amadeus Drive.
ments as well as the additional information, prior to making a decision on the appeal,” part of the response to TygerBurger read. Furthermore, Lukhozi says public participation is a critical part of an environmental impact assessment process because it allows the public, residents as well as organs of state to raise their concerns and have input into any proposal that may have an impact on them. The proposal targets the provision of 3 602 housing opportunities on the site. “These are split into 2 946 subsidy units and 656 Gap housing units. The proposal does not only include low cost housing units. Various additional land uses are considered as part of the proposed development. These will typically consist of a neighbourhood park, village square, place of worship, community facility, early childhood development centres as well as a local business site.” Schools are also included as part
of the proposal. The proposal entails the construction of a mixed-use development consisting of residential, business, civic, utility and integrated stormwater areas, a railway station and roads. In response to the EAP, BuhRein property developers submitted an appeal to the environmental affairs and development planning minister to hold off or suspend the appeal decision until more information was provided to inform the decision. “This additional information includes updated and additional specialist inputs. It is necessary to undertake additional public participation so that interested and affected parties can comment on the new information. The minister provided the extension of time within which to submit the responding statement to the appeal,” Buh-Rein says in a statement. The current process entails an
additional public participation process during which the supplementary basic assessment report was made available for comment to registered interested and affected parties, as well as the public. Buh-Rein says it has previously recorded that it is not opposed to the Darwin Road development project in principle. “We are, however, strongly opposed to the development proposal as currently designed, presented and approved for the reasons motivated in the appeal submitted back to the City in the process followed during 2019. Buh-Rein stands to be adversely affected by the proposed development as it has a self-evident interest in the application and a duty to protect the interests of their investors and homeowners in the estate.” Buh-Rein says it is confident its recommendations will be considered and incorporated in a revised layout. Residents and investors in BuhRein are concerned it may have a negative influence on the entire area if the proposed development is not done in accordance with responsible planning which addresses the environmental issues, spatial and land use considerations, socio-economic factors, urban design principals and the City’s planning legislation. Security in and around the estate is a concern and extra vigilance may take priority if the development goes ahead.

High hopes for amateur rugby D
espite the absence of club rugby action for the remainder of the year, the return to action for the professional game has served as encouragement to Western Province Rugby. “The past few days have certainly been very exciting for WP Rugby since the announcements from SA Rugby of the return to contact training for our professional players and the possible return to competition in early October for the first formal fixtures since the lockdown began,” says manager of WP Amateur Rugby, Danny Jones. The matches, which will be played behind closed doors with only media and management in attendance, served as a welcome confirmation to Jones that the ever thirsty rugby following public’s thirst for local action will finally be quenched. “We still await confirmation of the proposed domestic tournament, but this could run over 14 weeks until the finals on 23 January 2021. Much like some international schedules, we could see rugby on 26 December (Day of Goodwill) and on 2 January (tweede Nuwejaar) for the first time. The proposed schedule could also see seven home games at Newlands before going into the finals,” says Jones. Further announcements on the u.21 competitions and youth tournaments are also being waited on. “For many of our u.21 players this will be their final year in this age division, as next year sees the format change to u.20 and some will then move onto the senior divisions. We are however happy to note that quite a few of our current u.21 players will be eligible for the u.20 side as we have several nineteenyear-old players. This is of course testament

to our player development environment in WP Rugby,” he adds. Jones adds that for extra safety purposes the WP u.21 side is currently training at Brookside and City Park while the WP team is at the HPC in Bellville. “We’re thrilled to have our club coaches Isma-eel Dollie and Jonno van der Walt helping with coaching, both from our club rugby structures with a tremendous track record and coaching experience. Our referee recruitment drive continues and we remind our clubs to send in the names of their candidates. Candidates should do the world rugby laws online certification first. On completion, the system will generate a certificate which should then be sent to recruitmentrefs@wprugby.co.za.” Coach Jerome Paarwater held his third online workshop with the school’s coaches, focussing on the role of the team manager, presented by Stormers team manager Chippie Solomon. This week sees Jerome and Nazeem Adams work on schedule preparation. Jones adds that more than 90 applicants were recieved from Super League A and B for the media, marketing and sponsorship workshop. “Due to load shedding some missed out, but we will include them in a second opportunity. Candidates who have attended all four modules and have successfully answered the short online questions will qualify for WP Rugby certificates of attendance. Next week is allocated to Super League C and City League and clubs are reminded to pre-register using the online registration form.” V Queries can be sent to dtitus@wprugby.co.za. Clubs hoping to notify of their projects can send an email to ffelton@wprugby.co.za

“Whoever would have thought that fitness enthusiast congestion would become a problem for runners and cyclists?” wonders Steve Hayward, chair of the Pedal Power Association (PPA). “Thanks to Covid-19 there is an increase of both runners and cyclists on our roads – which is great news indeed,” Hayward says. But it does increase the possibility of accidents unless people take far more care. “This is especially of concern along more popular routes that have not necessarily been well designed for the number of people out there now using them,” he says. Motorists also need to be aware that there are far more people walking, running and cycling both on the popular routes and in the suburbs. “With the change in working practices and schools remaining closed, people, especially children, are out exercising or just playing during the day and not only on weekends. Drivers need to be particularly vigilant and drive cautiously when they see children, cyclists or runners,” says Hayward. Of particular concern to PPA are those routes popular for both cyclists and runners that don’t have sidewalks or verges suitable to run on. This means that runners and cyclists will need to share the shoulder and cyclists may have to move out into the road if there is nowhere for runners to move out of their way. “Having to share the road means that runners and cyclists need to act responsibly and give each other space on the road to exercise safely,” explains Hayward. Respect and courteous behaviour towards each other whilst on the road, will prevent accidents, he adds. Hayward says cyclist should observe

NEW BOOK: STORIES TEACH MENTAL GRIT
Sport psychology for kids EARL HAUPT @earlhaupt
“S
port is an important learning environment for children. It is an area of life where they receive instant lessons on losing, winning, social dynamics and how they themselves react to certain situations.” These are the words of Dr Denise Bouah, who has released her first book, Sports Psychology for Children: A Textbook Manual using stories to teach mental concepts. Bouah, a sports psychologist who is also a Woman International Master in chess (Wim), says the book is written in everyday language and makes the daunting mental concepts accessible to the young mind. “My goal is to make sport psychology accessible to as many children as possible. When I finished my doctorate in human movement science (master’s degree done in counselling psychology), I decided that I want to do something with the results of my study that will benefit children in a practical way. I didn’t want my research results to remain pure academic literature, but rather be useful to the sport community,” she says. Bouah hopes to change the perception that sport psychology is only an elite service to athletes who can afford it. “With this book, I am placing sport psychology in the hand of the child. A young athlete can now read and learn about mental preparation in easy, everyday language. Coaches, parents and teachers can benefit from this book as well. It will give them ideas and information to introduce and talk about certain aspects that their children are facing. This book is making sport psychology easy and understandable to all parties involved,” she explains.
Dr. Denise Bouah with her book.
The book revolves around the journeys of Jad, Xena, Chika and other characters through their sport adventures and experiences as they come to learn that there is more to sport performance than just the physical component. “The aspects in this book are primarily based on the results of the research done for my doctorate degree. My study focussed on the habits, values and mindfulness of elite athletes. In this study athletes from different performance levels were included: club, provincial, national and elite. Every story in
this book includes either a habit or value that was found to be important among elite athletes. The book starts off by a story devoted to introducing the concept of sport psychology, mental skills and mental toughness. Some of the stories explain the meaning and usage of habits, values and mindfulness in sport, while others dive straight into a specific habit or value important for successful sport participation. The habits of being disciplined and being focussed, dealing with pre-game anxiety and setbacks as well as leadership and goal set-
ting in the sport context are also addressed,” says Bouah. The three-time South African Women’s chess champ, who hails from Bellville, says that despite the book being written for children, the aspects found within can be used by adults as well. “Sport participation is a lifelong pursuit for many people, especially with people becoming more active and appreciating the value of being fit and healthy. Athletes are constantly setting and adjusting goals. They need to be able to focus and be disciplined so they can do what is necessary to achieve their goals. All athletes make mistakes, experience setbacks from time to time and it is important to deal with these in a constructive manner. “Coping skills are needed to deal with pressure situations. Then there is the importance of awareness. Being aware of aspects about yourself, your needs, your surroundings and the influence of your surroundings on you can enhance performance. “We all have habits and values. Some of our habits can be destructive to our performance, others can have a positive effect. Sometimes we do not function in accordance with the values we hold dear and that can have an impact on our performance and quality of life. It is important to be aware of our behaviour and what motivates us to behave in certain ways. This book address all these aspects because these aspects are not limited to certain levels of performance. “Every athlete has to deal with them, doesn’t matter the athlete’s age, level or length of career. That is why it is so important to master these skills at a young age already.” V For more information, send an email to denise.LDbooks@gmail.com.
Final stretch for 5k Solo Run takes place this Friday The Friday 5K Solo Run powered by Puma has entered the final stretch, with the penultimate run, the Friday 5K Solo Run #4, taking place on Friday 11 September. “We can’t believe that we are already counting down to the second last Friday 5K Solo Run,” says Agne du Plessis, Stillwater
Sports head of road running. “We love how committed the running community has been, with runners having to endure cold temperatures, wind and rain on more than one occasion during the Friday 5K Solo Run Series. This did not stop them from completing their 5km runs and sharing
their photographs with us. As a reward we are happy to confirm that there are still loads of awesome sponsor prizes up for grabs. This week runners will stand a chance to win a pair of stylish Puma UltraRide Running Shoes to the value of R2 000, a case of Coca-Cola, Powerade/Pow-
erad Zero and Bonaqua Water, a must-have Covim Coffee Machine distributed by Rialto Foods, valued at R3 500 and a “Wine & Dine Experience on Heritage Day” worth over R1 200 (includes a five-course wine pairing menu experience) compliments of The President Hotel Cape Town.
