EERSTERIVIER: WKOD SÊ AKSIE IS ONWETTIG

Skool onder ’n boom BRENDEN RUITER @ruitervaniewind

Groep van 100 kinders van Forest Village in Eersterivier gaan buite skool omdat daar geen skole in die omgewing is nie. Die Wes-Kaapse regering het onlangs tientalle gesinne uit verskillende gebiede in Eersterivier hervestig. Dié hervestiging het daartoe gelei dat kinders nie by skole naby aan hul nuwe blyplekke ingeskryf is nie. Die probleem is net vergroot omdat die Wes-Kaap onder normale omstandighede ’n gebrek aan skole het. Debbie Schäfer, die provinsiale onderwysminister, het verlede week gesê die provinsie sukkel om voor te bly met die bou van skole weens onder meer

die toestroming van leerders uit ander provinsies. Yolanda Matola, wat namens die leerders praat, sê sedert die mense verlede jaar hierheen geskuif het sukkel die ouers om hul kinders in skole te kry. “Ons het by verskeie plekke navraag gedoen of daar nie plekke in skole is nie. Daar is selfs ’n versoek dat die kinders in skeepsvraghouers skoolgaan, maar ons kry nêrens hulp nie. Die meeste mense hier werk nie en kan nie hul kinders terugstuur na skole waar hulle vandaan kom nie, dus het hulle besluit om die kinders onder die bome te onderrig,” sê Matola. Op sosiale media het mense begin vra waar is die plaaslike raadslid, Jerome Fitz, terwyl die kinders in weer en wind skoolgaan. Fitz sê by navraag hy weet van die situ-

asie, maar dit is nie in sy jurisdiksie nie. “Mense het al by my gekla, maar skole is nie deel van die Stad Kaapstad se werk nie. Dit val onder die provinsiale onderwysdepartement,” sê Fitz. Die Wes-Kaapse Onderswysdepartement (WKOD) sê by monde van Bronagh Hammond, woordvoerder, dat dié departement nie geboelie gaan word om ’n nuwe skool te bou nie. “Die WKOD is daarvan bewus dat ’n onwettige skool in Forest Village bedryf word. Sekere gemeenskapslede dring daarop aan dat die WKOD ’n skool by ’n nuwe ontwikkeling bou en die stigting van die onwettige skool is ’n poging om die departement te dwing om die skool te bou. Ons is in die verlede met dieselfde ding gekonfronteer waar onderwysers werk soek deur sulke

aksies deur gemeenskapslede,” sê Hammond. Volgens Hammond het die departement teen die einde van verlede jaar alternatiewe laer- en hoërskole vir die leerders aangebied. “Al hierdie aanbiedinge is van die hand gewys of daar was voorwaardes dat bestaande onderwysers gebruik word of dat ’n nuwe skool gebou word. Ons kan nie net onderwysers aanstel of nuwe skole bou nie. Faktore wat in ag geneem moet word, is dat ander gebiede ernstiger uitdagings het en dit ons prioriteit is. Wanneer ons direk met ouers praat en nie met die sogenaamde taakspan nie, aanvaar hulle ons standpunt en het sekere leerders reeds skole gevind,” sê Hammond. V Na bladsy 6.

More people opt for Ivermectin treatment DESIRÉE RORKE @dezzierorke

ith the imminent threat of a third wave of the pandemic and much uncertainty about the vaccine rollout, more and more people are turning to what they see as their only option: Ivermectin an antiparasitic veterinary medicine. In South Africa the product is not registered for use in humans yet, as is the case in countries such as India and Brazil where it is indicated for use against tropical diseases in humans. However, the Gauteng High Court in February held that doctors are now allowed to import the human formulation of the medicine to treat patients with Ivermectin at their own discretion, but only after having applied to do so in terms of a section 21 application of the Medicines and Related Substances Control Act. In Cape Town, you don’t have to venture out far to find roundtable discussions about the prevalence of the use of the product (in its animal formulation). Personal anecdotes are plenty, and mostly positive. Local businessman Nicky Swart from Joostenbergvlakte started using Ivermectin three months ago as a preventative measure and has experienced no side effects. He says he fears Covid much more than he fears Ivermectin and has much confidence in the medicine. Working in the farming industry, he was supplied with a small bottle of Ivermectin by a nearby farmer since the drug is sold out at most farming cooperatives. “I’m getting on in years and it scares me to read in every newspaper and hear of so many people dying every day of Covid. I use it mainly as a preventative measure. There is nothing else I can take at this stage, so I will gladly take my chances with Ivermectin. I feel great,” he says. He says he is aware of many people who are using it as a preventative measure. A local health care worker, who does not want to be identified, also started dosing herself with Ivermectin about a month ago, following her own spat with Covid-19. “I never want to have Covid again. Lucki-

Six arrested in major drug-bust NIELEN DE KLERK @nielendk

ix people, including a prominent suspected gang leader, appeared in court last week in a huge drug trafficking bust, which happened mostly in parts of Bellville and Durbanville. Jerome “Donkie” Booysen (55), Kenneth Hansen (53), Kristo Mariens (26), Clinton Langeveld, Jennen Jesmene Jansen (39) and Herbert Zoutman (52) appeared in the Bellville magistrate’s court last Thursday after handing themselves over. Five of the accused reside in either Glenhaven or in Bellville South. Zoutman stays in Belhar. According to Hawks spokesperson Colonel Katlego Mogale they are believed to be “the primary dealers in and distributors of illegal drugs in the province”. The State claims the accused, with Booysen in the lead, dealt in drugs (Methaqualone/Mandrax) from February 2013 to November 2017. These dealings took place at houses across the northern suburbs, mostly in Bellville (including Glenhaven, De La Haye, Labiance and Stikland), Brackenfell, Kuils River and Durbanville. They stand accused on charges of the contravention of the Prevention of Organised Crime Act (Poca) as well as numerous charges of “dealing in undesireable dependence

producing substances”. The State names Booysen and Hansen as the main accused and say Booysen played a managing role in the operations. “The suspects were arrested after handing themselves over following an intelligence-driven operation by the Western Cape Serious Organised Crime Investigation Unit of the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation on suspicion of drug and drug trafficking activities,” Mogale said. The six were granted bail of between R5 000 and R30 000. Booysen was released on R30 000 bail. The National Prosecution Authority’s spokesperson, Eric Ntabazalila, says the State argued for R40 000, “but the presiding officer set it at R30 000.” Hansen was released on R20 000 and Kristo Mariens, Clinton Langeveld, Jennen Jansen and Herbert Zoutman were all released on R5 000 bail. “The reason behind the different bail amounts is that the first two accused were managers and participants in the criminal enterprise. The rest of the accused were participants.” The case was postponed to 29 April for further investigation. Booysen was also arrested in December last year along with businessman Mark Lifman and others in connection with the murder of Brian Wainstein, a suspected steroid smuggler.

Taxi violence claims three One person has been arrested after a shooting that killed three people in Bellville last week. The incident is believed to be related to taxi disputes which have plagued the area over the past few years, killing multiple people. Bystanders looked on in shock last Wednesday when at least one gunman fired at people on both Voortrekker and Charl Malan Roads. Footage taken at the scene shows a body lying in Voortrekker Road, as police investigate the scene. Another body lies about 100m further,

around the corner in Charl Malan Road. Around 50m on, in Charl Malan Road, a paramedic tries to save the life of a third person in vain. The Western Cape’s transport minister, Bonginkosi Madikizela, condemned the violence. A total of 116 lives were claimed due to taxi violence in the Western Cape in 2020. Col Andre Traut, provincial police spokesperson, says a suspect (32) was arrested after the shooting, two stolen firearms were recovered and three licensed firearms were confiscated for further investigation. Traut asked anyone with information to contact Crime Stop on 08600 10111.

Rommelstrooiers saai amok in Eersterivier BRENDEN RUITER @ruitervaniewind

eld wat elders aangewend kan word, moet nou herhaaldelik gebruik word om rommel te verwyder. Volgens Jerome Fitz, die plaaslike raadslid, is rommelstrooi ’n pandemie wat elke week vererger. “Dit wil voorkom asof inwoners hul trots in hul omgewing verloor het. Ek kan net nie verstaan hoe mense sommer vullis kan strooi daar waar hulle woon nie. Onder normale omstandighede moet ’n mens let op netheid, maar veral in ’n tyd waarin ons land deur ’n pandemie getref is,” sê Fitz. Hy sê dit kos elke keer geld om rommel te laat optel. “Ons het al verskeie veldtogte van

stapel gestuur om dit onder inwoners se aandag te bring dat hulle hul vullis by die stortingsterrein moet gaan weggooi. Ons moet ook elke keer munisipale werkers stuur om plekke skoon te maak terwyl hulle elders besig kon wees. Dit lyk asof die mense net nie meer omgee nie. Ek wil net weer mense daaraan herinner dat dit onwettig is om rommel op straat te strooi en dat dit kan lei tot ’n boete en selfs tronkstraf,” sê Fitz. Hy het ’n beroep op inwoners gedoen om rommelstrooiers aan te meld en selfs foto’s te neem. “Ons moet weer ’n trots ontwikkel in ons gemeenskap. Hier moet kinders grootgemaak word en as hulle sien ons is trots op ons dorp, sal hulle ook trotse inwoners word,” sê hy. Rommelstrooiers kan by 021 957 4700 verkla word.

Attacks on City workers continue I

t’s been alleged that criminals are taking advantage of the Covid-19 pandemic as the City of Cape Town’s healthcare workers are often attacked while serving communities. According to the Mayco member for community services and health, Zahid Badroodien, shop owners have also fallen victim. “In recent weeks, City health staff have been robbed at gun point and others threatened with death amid the continued theft and vandalising of equipment at facilities. Our staff are on the front line of this pandemic and it is unacceptable that they face additional threats from the very communities they serve. Staff are doing what they can to monitor compliance with health protocols for everyone’s safety, but if they are not allowed to do this, we are heading for disaster in terms of infection figures,” said Badroodien. In addition, he said that unscrupulous scam artists continue to prey on shop owners who are told that if they do not make use of

a specific sanitising service, the service providers will close down their business and they will not be able to operate. “These fake companies provide a document, which indicates that the premises have been disinfected/cleaned and give the store owner a compliance certificate valid for a month from the date of treatment. In some instances, they also insist that the shop owners purchase a special bleach from them, which should then be used for future disinfection purposes. City health wants to warn shop owners that it is not mandatory to use any sterilisation service. Surfaces can easily be disinfected with a solution of diluted household bleach. Regulations under the Disaster Risk Management Act do not make provision for premises to be closed down due to any perceived lack of sterilisation,” said Badroodien. Shop owners who have been scammed into paying for this service at threat of closure are encouraged to lay a complaint at their local police station.

Elke grondeenheid in die Stad het ’n sonering. Die DMS bepaal, onder andere, die grondgebruike en ontwikkelingsreëls vir alle sonerings, met ander woorde die doel waarvoor grond regtens gebruik word of mag word en die bepalings, beperkings en/of voorwaardes wat die toelaatbare grootte van die grondgebruik ten opsigte van ’n sonering bepaal. Dit bepaal ook die toepaslike omskrywings, vertolkings, algemene bepalings en oorlegsonerings. Artikel 27 van die MPBL bepaal dat die DMS minstens elke vyf jaar na die aanvang van die MPBL hersien moet word. Die Stad is van voorneme om die DMS nou ingevolge hierdie artikel te hersien en terselfdertyd die MPBL te hersien. Ingevolge artikel 17 van die Wet op Plaaslike Regering: Munisipale Stelsels, Wet 32 van 2000, word die publiek en belangstellende groepe of partye die geleentheid gebied om van 22 Februarie tot 23 April 2021 kommentaar of voorstelle in te dien wat tydens die hersieningsproses in ag geneem sal word. Kommentaar of voorstelle oor die hersieningsproses moet ooreenstem met goedgekeurde Raadsbeleide, -planne, -strategieë en die geïntegreerde ontwikkelingsplan. Vir nog inligting: www.capetown.gov.za/policies. Die hersieningsproses kan nie die sonering van enige grondeenheid in die Stad verander nie, maar kan, onder andere, wysigings aan toepaslike ontwikkelingsreëls. Na alle kommentaar en voorstelle hersien en geëvalueer is, sal ’n hersieningsverslag aan die Raad voorgelê word waarin, onder andere, die reaksies op kommentaar en voorstelle wat ontvang is, uiteengesit word. Die Raad sal dan ’n aanbeveling maak oor watter van daardie kommentaar en voorstelle formeel verder gevoer sal word, en ’n verdere openbaredeelnameproses sal onderneem word sodra ’n konsepwysigingsverordening opgestel is.

Call for schools to support educational campaign Primary schools around the world are being invited to join a ground-breaking health educational campaign. Fast Heroes, supported and endorsed by the World Stroke Organization, is being rolled out globally - with a mission to recruit a million children to help save their grandparents. The award-winning Fast Heroes campaign seeks to use children between the ages of five and nine years as the catalyst to help improve recognition of the signs of stroke, as well as the need for speedy action. Leveraging their amazing enthusiasm for learning and sharing, children are encouraged to spread knowledge to the rest of their family, particularly their grandparents. The educational resources are fun, engaging, and interactive, teaching children about empathy and love, as well as providing practical life-saving skills. Sheila Martins, neurology professor and president elect of the World Stroke Organization, says, “One in four of us will have a stroke in our lifetime, and worldwide, it is the second leading cause of death and the third leading cause of disability. However, it is treatable. “People who have a stroke need access to high quality acute care as quickly as possible, so increasing awareness of the key symptoms is vital. Children can help make a real difference by sparking interest among their wider family. The overarching

aim is to help ensure that when stroke strikes, grandparents can survive with their lives intact thanks to effective and fast treatment.” Jan van der Merwe, who heads up the Fast Heroes campaign, says: “Schools can get involved at the level that’s right for them – from implementing the programme in classrooms, through to remote learning options where children and their families can participate from home. “They can access free resources, help take part in a Guinness World Records attempt, and win great prizes by competing with other schools in their region. It’s a great chance to get involved in something special for an important cause.” Van der Merwe adds that the World Health Organisation and Unesco recently launched a new initiative aimed at making every school a health promoting school (HPS). “The initiative recognises that promoting health education from early childhood through the school setting would benefit not only the children themselves, but also their families, peers and their wider communities. Let’s help make every school a health promoting school, because together we can save the world – one child and one grandparent at a time.” To find out more about the world record attempt, visit www.fastheroes.com or www.recordattempt.fastheroes.com.

Skool stuur verskeie projekte van stapel BRENDEN RUITER

Hadji Ahishakiye, ’n gr. 12leerder aan die Hoërskool Tuscany Glen het hierdie kunswerk met plastiekdoppies gemaak.

@ruitervaniewind

ie Hoërskool Tuscany Glen in Blue Downs het verskeie veldtogte van stapel gestuur wat met die skool se waardes ooreenstem. Volgens die skoolhoof, Sydney Jantjies, was die skool se waarde vir Februarie “omgee”. “Ons fokus daarop om ’n waardegedrewe skool te wees om almal daarvan bewus te maak dat waardes lewens kan verander,” sê Jantjies. Een van die projekte, om plastiekdoppies in te samel, is vroeg in 2020 deur een van die onderwysers van stapel gestuur. “Ons is ook van plan om ’n miljoen broodknippies in te samel. Ons wil hierdie insamelings

doen om te help met die bekamping van geslagsgeweld in ons gemeenskappe. Met die

doppies wat ons reeds ingesamel het, het een van ons leerders Afrika in ’n wonderlike

kunswerk uitgebeeld,” sê Jantjies. In ’n ander projek het die skool saam met die organisasie Women Lead Movement hande gevat om leerders van die skool by te staan. Dié organisasie is onder meer gemoeid met geslagsgelykheid op gemeenskapsvlak. “Ons wil graag Women Lead Movement bedank vir hul belegging in die meisies en die skool as geheel. Ons is dankbaar dat die meisies deel vorm van hierdie wonderlike inisiatief, wat inpas by ons omgeewaarde. Ons sien uit om in die toekoms nouer met die organisasies saam te werk. Ingevolge die samewerkingsooreenkoms gaan van die leerders deur die organisasie ondersteun word,” sê Jantjies. Hy doen ’n beroep op die gemeenskap om die skool in sy projekte te steun.

Permits required for routes A

s from Monday 1 March all walkers and runners will require permits to access the routes on Zevenwacht wine estate. Permits valid for the calendar year can be bought at the tasting room. The cost is R350 for adults, or R250 for patron card holders, pensioners, scholars, and students 21 or younger. No permits are required for children under 12. Daily access will be available by special permission for out of town visitors at a fee of R50 for adults and R25 for chil-

dren. Payment will go towards the maintenance of the routes, maps and armbands. A map and armband will be provided. The armband must be worn and visible while walking or running on the estate. The two routes available are the tar road from the boom, around the dam via the main car park and out again (2.7km); and the 5.3km jeep track route around the top of the farm. Walkers and runners must stick to these routes (as on the map). When using the road walkers and runners should gi-

ve way to vehicles. Some space has been cleared along the forest side of the road – stay on this side of the road in both directions. Do not walk along the white wall for your own safety.

Home supports ‘forgotten ones’ CARINA ROUX

very day her son spent another day living is her proudest moment, says Moira Hubbard. The doctors didn’t think Ryan, now 26, would survive his first year. Born profoundly deaf and handicapped, Ryan failed to thrive and was eventually diagnosed with Johanson-Blizzard syndrome, a very rare genetic condition. If he survived, he would be bed-bound and require tube feeding, Moira was told. Ryan has cystic fibrosis of the pancreas and scoliosis of the spine. He is non-verbal and autistic. But Ryan is also the reason why his mother wants to leave a legacy. The reason she started the M&R Centre of Excellence, a non-profit organisation (NPO) and “forever home” for children with special needs in 2018. Including Ryan, there are currently five residents and five live-in carers in the home in Kuils River. One day care attendee, the home’s manager and a domestic worker comes in daily. Moira says they do not receive any funding from government. As with other NPOs the Covid-19 pandemic has hit them hard. “Some of the parents’ businesses are closing or they are on reduced income.” Running costs are high and the only thing that keeps the doors open are the monthly fees the residents’ parents pay. The double garage of the rental property was converted to serve as a life skills centre, but it gets very hot, or very cold in winter, says Moira. As the lease expires end of March, they are desperately looking to move elsewhere in the northern suburbs. “Ideally a four-bedroom house with garden space where we can put the trampoline up or add a jumping castle or obstacle course.” Moira says special needs children like Ryan who might be 26 on his ID, but mentally closer to age six, are the ‘‘forgotten ones” in South Africa. “Nobody talks about them; nobody tries to help them.” At the life skills centre they offer various activities from arts and crafts, puzzles, beading, drawing, and learning with communication cards. Every day there is a purpose and a time for everything, from group play or one on one occupational or speech therapy sessions to baking, says Moira. “We want to give them some independence and a purpose in life.”

Carer Thokozile Mbira and Ryan Hubbard.

She says in SA there’s a dire need for places that can accommodate low functioning, non-verbal autistic and other special needs individuals, “in a forever home and not an institution”. Since Ryan’s birth in 1994 there’s been many challenges. Moira had to do her utmost to get a cochlear implant authorised for her son. “Ryan opened the door for others to get a cochlear implant regardless of whether they would talk or not. To give them quality of life through hearing.” A few years ago, Ryan suffered a blood clot on his brain from banging his head against a wall due to pain and frustration of not being able to vocalise his thoughts. On another occasion Ryan’s arm was broken when someone tried to restrain him. A mother of a special needs child must almost have a split personality, says Moira. “When they go through trauma and illness – someone breaking his arm – you literally have to have shutters to close down that emotion so you can support your child.” Moira is in awe of her son’s ability to master through all the pain and challenges he faces every day of his life. “I honour his struggle by being even more determined to push forward. “Through Ryan I’ve learnt actually dealing through all the hundreds of small things that get thrown on our path every moment of every day gives us an impeccable fail proof coping mechanism that is able to weather the storm in the big rough ugly moments. It’s that one step at a time.” Moira is at her happiest when Ryan makes eye contact with her and gives her a smile. As she won’t live forever, Moira started the M&R centre and home for Ryan, but also for others like him. Scottish born Moira says she could have taken Ryan to the UK to get help, but she had a phenomenal childhood in South Africa and wants to pay it forward. “I want the centre to grow bigger and help more children.” She hopes her legacy to Ryan will become Ryan’s legacy for others like him who needs a home. Any contributions, from groceries, essential supplies, recreational items, educational toys or monetary donations to assisting with running costs would be welcomed.

LEWENSKIEKIE

Teach kids to respect all women I recently had a conversation with my housemate’s 14-year-old niece while watching Oscar Pistorius: The Blade Runner Killer. It’s an unofficial biopic based on public records about model, Reeva Steenkamp and former Olympic champ, Oscar Pistorius’ relationship which had a tragic ending back in 2003. From the minute this movie started, the young one seated next to me made it known that the female lead character would ignore all the red flags and stay in an abusive relationship to remain relevant to the public. Of course this young girl did not know anything about the love story of Reeva and Oscar, thus her observations were purely uninfluenced. As the movie progressed to its climax (poorly so, might I add) I noted my partner’s disapproval of the female lead’s disregard of the abusive treatment she received from her lover, much to her annoyance. “It will end in tears,” she says. “Women put themselves through hell for this love thing,” she adds. Delving further towards the climax, the little girl tells me that she kind of feels sorry for Reeva because she was so in love with this “imperfectlyperfect” man (yep, her words), that she died for him. “If this is what love is, then I would rather die alone.” This made me think a bit, what will it take for us to teach girls that their lives matter and no man has the right to raise their hand or voice at them? Where does that leave the boy child? When do we start teaching them that raising a hand to women is wrong? The answer to the questions above, I guess, starts with showing programmes that address these issues. If movies or even TV programmes such as The Blade Runner Killer gets televised more, then maybe children will learn from an early age that gender-based violence is a serious issue and should not be tolerated. Kids are easy to influence and this would be a perfect way to detest GBV and start to learn ways to become admirable men. These programmes would also be perfect in teaching life and leadership skills which would be able to carry them through life. This is important as it builds character and makes it easier to take the right decisions. Of course, age restrictions should apply when broadcasting these programmes in order to not leave the young viewers traumatised, but this should be done in such a way that the message is clear to understand. We are often told that one has to be harsh to be kind and this is one of those times this phrase is relevant. If this is done right, then young people will have a brighter future paved for them. I tell you now, this has the power to put an end to the ongoing abuse and killing of women we have come to live with in recent years. It is up to us to start the process to changing how men treat women every day in this country. Maybe young girls will learn that having a male figure next to you, no matter how rich, is not more important than their lives. Maybe boys will begin to frown upon such acts and grow to become men of honour and integrity. – Itumeleng Mokwa

GBV on the rise in SA I often wonder, how is femicide still an issue in today’s day and age? What is it about the concept of women’s equality and power, that is so difficult to accept? Why are women still getting raped and murdered every three hours in South Africa for being the “weaker sex”, the “submissive gender” or the “lesser partner” in relationships? I would love to love my country, but South Africa does not love me. South Africa is rated among the most violent countries on Earth, and from 2019-2020 saw a 1.4% increase in murders according to the latest annual police report. And women are the target – I am five times more likely to be raped or murdered than any other woman around the world. Maybe the poor standard of education in South Africa is to blame. For our society has no understanding of basic self-governance; life is unfair, and no, you actually can’t just take and do whatever you want (especially if it involves another individual’s life). Yes, culture and religion come into play, but in our “free” country women should have the authority to break away from those who cause them fatal harm. This should be possible – why is it not? Not only is our education, or lack thereof, to blame, but also our policing and justice system. If there are no consequences for crime, nor any immediate reactions, why would crime stop? Our president, Mr Ramaphosa, has called the genderbased violence in our country a pandemic. It certainly is a pandemic – so then why aren’t we doing anything

about it? There is all this talk, and then some more, but from what I have seen the government is taking no decisive action towards ending these hateful and evil occurrences. South African women are tired of waiting for help that isn’t coming. The only way forward that I can see, is self-protection. Who else is there to rely on besides ourselves? Furthermore, I can’t describe the immense relief I feel in knowing there are organisations in South Africa that are finally taking a stand alongside us. Now is the time to start realising that self-defence is the only true way to save ourselves. ASHLEY DAVISON Durbanville

Komiteelid gee antwoord In antwoord op die brief Belastingbetalers het ook regte (17 Februarie) wat in TygerBurger gepubliseer is: Die Stad Kaapstad moet baie uitdagings in die gesig staar om haweloosheid wat deur die pandemie vererger is aan te spreek. Dit is belangrik om daarop te let dat verskillende hofsake die Stad Kaapstad verhinder om sy verordeninge wat op alle inwoners van toepassing is, toe te pas. Verder verbied die nasionale rampbestuur regulasies die Stad om tentbewoners uit openbare ruimtes te skuif. Die uitwerking van haweloosheid op persoonlike ruimte het uitdagings in die samelewing gebring tussen persone wat wil help en diegene wat hul persoonlike ruimte weer na normaal wil laat terugkeer. As n plaaslike regering wat omgee is ons bewus van inwoners se versoeke. As ’n

Stad het ons die Veilige Ruimte-model geïmplementeer, en werk ons deurlopend saam met organisasies wat hulp verleen aan haweloses en finansiële bydraes lewer. Die Give Dignity-veldtog is ook in werking gestel en daar word met die breë publiek in gesprek getree om oplossings te vind. Laasjaar het ek die Inkhatalo-gesprek begin, waar Lorenzo Davids van Community Chest en Melene Rossouw van die Women Lead Movement die leiding neem. Hierdie dialoog gee geleentheid aan nieregeringsorganisasies wat hulp bied aan haweloses, inwoners en die regering om maniere te vind om die uitdagings te pak. Inkhatalo-gesprek gee aksie aan ons oortuiging dat alle inwoners die reg het om in ‘n veilige en gesonde stad te woon. Die uitdaging is om die gaping tussen die botsende sienings te oorbrug en ‘n ooreenkoms te bereik oor hoe ons die sosiaal maatskaplike uitdagings wat haweloosheid bied, kan oplos.

Oupa bekommerd oor leerders As oupa is kinders en kleinkinders vir my ’n baie belangrike deel van my lewe. Na ’n verblyf van 7 jaar in die onmiddellike omgewing van die hoërskool voel ek verplig om vandag my kommer en vrees te deel. Ek ry gereeld die pad tussen die twee sirkels langs die skool. Ek kan nie glo dat verantwoordelike onderwyspersoneel glad nie omgee vir hulle leerders se veiligheid nie. Die onbemande kruising tussen die skool en die tennisbane is vir my ’n groot bron van kommer. Dit is slegs genade dat daar nog nie leerders raakgery is nie. Hoe moeilik kan dit wees om ’n skoolpatrollie daar te stel soos by die laerskool? Die leerders drentel net eenvoudig kop onderstebo en die bestuurders moet uiters waaksaam wees om nie een raak te ry nie. Ek het al male sonder tal baie noue ontkomings daar gesien! Kan die personeel nie asseblief iets doen om ons leerders te beskerm nie. OUPA GROMPIE Durbanville

First-ever world report on hearing launched soon T

he countdown has begun to the launch of the first-ever world report on hearing. The launch takes place on World Hearing Day celebrated on 3 March this year. Through the global launch of this report, the World Health Organisation intends to raise awareness with, and mobilize action among national governments, international non-government organisations and development agencies, as well as all stakeholders in the field of hearing care. “This is a momentous occasion, one which will serve to raise awareness about this invisible and far-reaching epidemic – that of hearing loss. “The estimated global burden of unaddressed hearing loss is a staggering $750 billion per year, not to mention the negative impact on the individual such as isolation and lack of access to communication, education and information.

“This is totally unacceptable when so much can be done to prevent and treat hearing loss. This is a clarion call to the South African government to ensure hearing health for all – screen, rehabilitate and communicate,” says Dr Diane Bell, chair of the Carel du Toit Trust, a member of the World Hearing Forum. World Hearing Day is celebrated annually on 3 March to highlight the importance of hearing and draw attention to the importance of early identification and intervention for hearing loss. The theme this year is “hearing care for all”. We all run the risk of not knowing that we have unidentified hearing loss, failing to realize that we are missing out on certain sounds and words. Ensuring that your baby’s hearing is tested soon after birth is the first step to the best possible outcome. At the Carel du Toit Centre based on the grounds of Tygerberg Hospital, children who are born with hearing loss, even profoundly deaf, can learn to listen, and develop natural spoken language.

Audiologist Tara-Lee Odendaal doing a check-up on a child’s hearing with her mother present. The names of the child and parent cannot be mentioned.

Flowers to cheer up tired frontline heroes With February being the month of love the Champions for Children, a volunteer club of Tygerberg Hospital Children’s Trust, decided to give back to healthcare workers through their “showsomelove” campaign. This is an initiative dreamed up by the volunteers as they want to show support and appreciation to the healthcare workers. They want to make the staff feel loved, a spokesperson says. Nurses and doctors at Tygerberg Hospital have been working tirelessly throughout the Covid-19 pandemic and many of their colleagues, friends and family have succumbed to the pandemic. “This campaign is about highlighting

and raising awareness about the trying times of the frontline workers and the hard conditions they have been working under over the last year. “We are appealing to the public and businesses to show support by pledging a cash donation as an act of love to contribute towards the purchase of flowers for the healthcare workers,” the spokesperson says. The flowers will be handed over by the Champions for Children in the last week of February to all the paediatric wards. The flowers are a token from the volunteers, to show support.

As ‘n omgeestad dryf ons noodverligting, insluitende: • ’n Maatskaplike pakket van R3,3 miljard wat kwaliﬁserende huishoudings met eiendomsbelasting en dienskoste help. • R37 miljoen se direkte voedselverligting aan gesinne regoor die stad, insluitende kospakkies, Covid-19-omgeepakkies en ondersteuning aan meer as 200 sopkombuise. • R34 miljoen se noodtoelaebefondsing vir organisasies sonder winsbejag (NPO’s) wat skuiling aan straatmense bied, vroeëkindontwikkelingsentrums en dié wat met weerlose groepe werk, soos slagoffers van gendergebaseerde geweld.

Saam bereik ons honderde duisende inwoners en gee die ekstra tree wat ons grondwetlike mandaat as munisipaliteit betref. Danksy ons vennote, die Duitse ontwikkelingskorporasie en die KfWontwikkelingsbank, gaan ‘n verdere R90 miljoen se hongerverligting elke week aan ongeveer 200 000 mense in van ons stad se mees weerlose gemeenskappe gegee word. Vanweë die sukses van hierdie program het die KfW hom tot ’n verdere R66 miljoen vanaf April 2021 verbind. Saam het ons tot dusver meer as 100 000 kosbewyse ter waarde van R300 elk in die aangewese gebiede uitgereik vir ons vennootskapsooreenkoms met die maatskappy sonder winsbejag, Violence Prevention through Urban Upgrading (VPUU). Koopbewyse word by plaaslike spaza-winkels gebruik om die buurtekonomie op te bou. Die Stad doen ’n beroep op inwoners, organisasies, kerke en NPO’s om gedurende hierdie tyd by die versorging van minderbevoorregtes betrokke te raak. Ons bedank diegene wat reeds hierdie versoek om ’n helpende hand te verleen, ondersteun. -

Uitvoerende burgemeester Dan Plato

Help ons om weerloses te help Die Stad doen ’n beroep op geregistreerde en ervare NPO’s en openbarevoordeelorganisasies (PBO’s) om aansoek te doen om die voorbereiding en verspreiding van gekookte maaltye in weerlose gemeenskappe. Aansoeke word gevra van organisasies wat: • As NPO’s of PBO’s geregistreer is. • Ten minste drie maande se ervaring van die bedryf van sop- of koskombuise het en gebalanseerde en voedsame maaltye aan weerlose gemeenskappe of begunstigdes voorsien. • ’n Rekord kan verskaf van hul suksesvolle bedrywighede en besonderhede van gemeenskappe of begunstigde groepe wat hulle voorheen bedien het. Stuur ’n e-pos aan Admin.HRP@capetown.gov.za om vorms wat teruggestuur moet word, aan te vra. Aansoekvorms kan ook afgelaai word by www.capetown.gov.za/HumanitarianRelief. *As gevolg van die heersende Covid-19-toestande is daar van die fisiese hantering van papierof hardekopie-aansoeke afgesien.

Rugby clubs back for training F

ollowing SA Rugby’s announcement for the resumption of amateur rugby activities, Western Province Rugby are excited to welcome their clubs back to training. “After last week’s announcement by SA Rugby that amateur rugby training may resume we have seen a breath of fresh air blow amongst our members. “The initial phase allows for a four-week period for strength and conditioning training, all according to strict Covid health and safety protocols,” says Danny Jones, manager of WP Amateur Rugby. SA Rugby also confirmed the restart of the amateur rugby season will follow a structured approach to ensure the health and safety of players and management are taken into consideration. According to statement released by SA Rugby last week, the second phase will incorporate four weeks of gradual integration of contact training, should the national government give the go-ahead. SA Rugby CEO, Jurie Roux said this is an important step in getting the local amateur season off to a good start, but he emphasised the need for responsible behaviour from these rugby communities. “SA Rugby is the custodian of rugby in the country but school sport falls under the auspices of the Department of Basic Education and they must therefore adhere to government’s rules and regulations,” said Roux. “Schools have got their own Covid management committees, and together with the school headmaster they will provide the final say on whether the school participates in rugby or not. “The ultimate responsible person will be the principal of each school. It remains our collective responsibility to ensure that the

Rugby grounds may become a hive of activity once again following the announcement by SA Rugby that gives amateur rugby the go-ahead to return to training. PHOTO: EARL HAUPT players and coaches who participate in the game of rugby do so in a safe environment and mitigates against the risk of unnecessary illness and injury.” Jones says the announcement has seen a number of their Covid certified clubs return to training and judging by early feedback, the players are adjusting well. “This was of course expected as we know many of our clubs have remained active with their members doing social activities which also includes Covid protocols,” he says. The knock-on effect of SA Rugby’s announcement has seen the Varsity Cup being given the go-ahead for this season, with four local universities representing the Cape region, namley: Maties, UWC, and UCT and CPUT in the Varsity Shield.

“This year will see the continuation of our focus on the development of women’s rugby and the continuation of our exclusive women’s rugby coaching program which launched last year. As we see more clubs building their structures and looking to include women’s rugby at their clubs we anticipate that this programme will have a meaningful connection between the women we are enrolling on the course and the clubs with women’s rugby structures. As part of our strategy to grow women’s rugby, we will be engaging and supporting our club structures to follow suit,” says Jones. This week also saw the roll out the first of their forum meetings which saw clubs engage WP Rugby. These sessions looked at club competitions for 2021, proposals for

2022 and return to training. This week rotated through Super League A, B and C at Newlands stadium boardroom and next week sees them engage the City and Southern Leagues, Northern and Paarl Leagues and Metro, Simonsberg and Sunday Leagues later this week. “In addition to our coaching course, we will continue to empower our clubs by rolling out additional media, marketing and sponsorship workshops. Last year saw the start of the focus MMS courses which allowed for additional marketeers to be deployed at club level. We will now roll out additional courses which focus on the specifics of marketing your club and engaging your supporter’s club,” Jones explains. Jones says the sessions will add a practical element and will help clubs improve their communication and exposure. Anyone who missed any of the previous modules can join the four-week catch-up course over a four consecutive day period starting on 1 March. “On a final note, we remind all our members that we understand the negative impact Covid has had on the morale of our members and we recognise the value of the roll many of you have played during these extraordinary times. The fact that you have kept your members connected and engaged through the spirit of the rugby community is admirable and deserves recognition. We urge you to continue engaging your members and fans and to continue driving the passion of WP Club Rugby. “We extend our deepest sympathies to those that have lost someone close to them during these difficult times, you remain in our thoughts and prayers. We remind you to continue fighting the virus by washing your hands regularly, practising social distance and always wear a mask.”

New club to the crease The Independent Institute for Education’s Varsity College (VC) is proud to introduce its own cricket club which will be based at its Cape Town campus. The club, a member of the Western Province Cricket Association (WPCA), will join the “ranks” of one of its other major sports clubs based on its Cape Town campus – netball. “The Varsity College Cricket Club third division’s goal is to become a club with its own strong identity and culture. A club which will embrace innovation and bravery amongst team mates and which will develop players’ natural abilities into greatness,” says newlyappointed, dedicated and seasoned coach and player Trevor Timm. Joining Timm as the club’s deputy chairperson and administrator is 23-year-old Christian Pietersen, who is also a second-year BComm student at Varsity College. Establishing the Varsity College Cricket Club was spearheaded by national sports manager of Varsity College Carole Adam, sports coordinator, Brent Davids and head of student services, Megan Landman. “With the move of our current Cape Town campus to the hub of the iconic Newlands Cricket Grounds Development mid-June this year, it made sense for us to make our new, purpose-built Cape Town campus the home of the VC Cricket Club,” says Adam.

EGIPTE: FIETSRYERS GAAN PROVINSIE VERTEENWOORDIG

Vier van WP gekies AVRIL FILLIES

cKenzie Pedro van Oakdale is een van vier fietsryers van die WP wat aan die fietsrybyeenkoms in Kaïro, Egipte, gaan deelneem en vertrek Vrydag, 26 Februarie, om in Maart te gaan deelneem. “Ek is baie opgewonde oor my insluiting en sien baie uit na die byeenkoms in Egipte. “Toe die baanspan aangekondig is was ek tuis, maar toe die padspan aangekondig is, was ek by die skool en was buite myself van opgewondenheid omdat ek die span gehaal het. Ek bewonder Emily Batty van Kanada. Sy is ’n goeie rolmodel omdat sy passievol is oor die sport en ander meisies aanmoedig om by die sport betrokke te raak,” sê McKenzie sy. Volgens McKenzie is die Tour de France die grootste fietstoer. “Dit was die eerste groot toer wat ek ge-

volg het en die toer het vir 21 dae van opwinding gesorg. In Egipte gaan daar nie tyd wees om besienswaardighede te besoek nie, maar ek hoop om die piramides te besoek voor ons huis toe kom. Voor ons vertrek moet ons almal die Covid-toets laat doen 72 uur voor ons vertrek en weer voor ons terugkeer huis toe. Wanneer ek nie by fietsry betrokke is nie, ontspan ek met my vriendinne of ons gesin gaan kampeer graag,” sê McKenzie. Op haar wenslysie is om Europese lande te verken en sy wil ook eendag al die nuwe Wonders van die Wêreld besoek. Haar ouers het die grootste invloed op haar fietsry, want hulle ondersteun haar ten volle en ook in alle ander aspekte van haar lewe. “Eienskappe wat ’n goeie fietsryer nodig het, is om passievol oor die sport te wees. Jy moet ook geduldig en toegewyd wees. My versoek aan motoriste is om altyd bewus te wees van fietsryers. As jy ’n fietsry-

er sien, probeer om die 1.5 m-afstand te handhaaf. “Wanneer ek nie fietsry nie lees ek graag en geniet dit om netbal te speel en ek kamp ook gereeld saam met die Voortrekkers,” sê McKenzie. Sy droom om sy land te verteenwoordig word nou eintlik vir Jason Bruintjies van Ravensmead bewaarheid nadat hy as een van vier fietsryers van die Kineticfietsryklub in Bellville gekies is om SA in Maart by die Kontinentale Pad- en Baanbyeenkoms in Egipte te verteenwoordig. “My opgewondenheid kan ek nie beskryf nie, want dit was altyd my lewensdroom om SA te verteenwoordig. Ek moes nog die vaak uit my oë vee toe ek hoor ek is gekies, want ek het net wakker geword en was aan die opstaan,” skerts hy. Sy ander groot byeenkoms waaraan hy oorsee deelgeneem het, was die Junior Jeugtoer in Assen in Nederland.
