SILVERSANDS: INWONERS HET NOUE ONTKOMINGS

nwoners van Silversands moet baie versigtig wees vir slange wat in hul agterplase gaan kuier. Minstens vier gesinne in Silversands het reeds die afgelope week noue ontkomings met slange gehad wat in hul agterplaas en selfs tot in hul huis geseil het. Leonora Ndlotyeni, ’n inwoner van Silversands, sê hulle moes al twee keer die hulp van ’n slangvanger bekom. “’n Bejaarde vrou woon in die wendyhuis in my agterplaas en sy het by twee geleenthe-
de slange agter die laaikas gesien. Sy het natuurlik groot geskrik en die eerste keer het ’n buurman die slang kom doodmaak. “Die volgende keer het ek die slangvanger laat kom. My kleinkinders was histeries en ons is nou baie versigtig,” sê Ndlotyeni. Volgens Ndlotyeni het die tweede slang egter by ’n gat uitgeglip en verdwyn. “Die slangvanger het toe vasgestel dat daar ’n muisnes onder die wendyhuis was. Ek het toe plaagbestryders laat kom om die muise te verwyder,” sê Ndlotyeni. Emma April, ’n inwoner van Silversands, sê dit wil voorkom of die slange van ’n veldjie naby hul huis kom.

“Ons woon amper op die rand van die veldjie en die laaste ruk word daar baie gewerk. “Daar is ’n sportveld gebou en dit lyk of voorbereidings vir ’n nuwe ontwikkeling ook gedoen word. Ons is van mening dat die slange se habitat versteur is en hulle nou hier in ons rigting koers kies,” sê April. Volgens haar het een van hul bure onlangs ’n geritsel agter kartondose in hul kamer gehoor. “My bure is besig om te verhuis en hul kartondose was reeds gepak. Hulle het gesien die kat is baie aktief in die kamer en het gaan ondersoek instel. Slang se kind was toe lekker knus agter die dose. Jacques Joubert, die slangvanger, is toe ontbied en die

slang is verwyder,” sê April. Joubert was die afgelope ruk baie besig in die Silversands-omgewing. “Ek is verskeie kere uitgeroep na plekke in Eersterivier en Silversands. Dit is deesdae baie warm en slange soek water en kos. Hulle gaan na huise op soek daarna. Ek wil ’n beroep op huiseienaars doen om nie die slange te nader nie en my eerder te kontak. Om katte aan te hou, is ook ’n goeie idee, want hulle weet hoe om slange weg te hou,” sê Joubert. Mense wat slange by hul huise vind, kan Joubert by 076 703 2824 bel. As jy in Eersterivier-omgewing woon, slaap maar met jou oë oop, want slang se kind is in die rondte.

The fight against illegal alcohol trading continues as police arrested nine suspects who tried to go against Covid-19 lockdown regulations. Provincial police spokesperson, Capt FC van Wyk said after monitoring vital information for some time about illegal liquor trading from a farm in Paarl and at a premises in Airport Industria, crime intelligence operatives assisted by anti-gang unit officers bust a truckload of liquor on Tuesday 19 January. Bishop Lavis police spokesperson, WO Joseph Swartbooi, said the estimated value of the alcohol was R640 000. The suspects appeared in the Bishop Lavis Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday 20 January.

housands of meals were provided to the ever-growing population of homeless people on the streets of Cape Town in recent weeks. With the Feed5000 scheme, an initiative run by The Hope Exchange, volunteers and donors managed to serve 11 516 meals between 12 December and 17 January at feeding kitchens in the city. According to the provincial government, it is estimated that there are about 5 000 homeless people in the greater Cape Town area with an estimated 700 in the central business district. “Although it has been a challenging period, we are grateful that we were able to serve these meals, surpassing the 10 463 meals served last year,” says spokesperson Sharnelle Cader. Continued feeding of the homeless naturally means an increased risk of spreading the virus, but not continuing it will result in the homeless community going hungry. “We at The Hope Exchange realise our current circumstances require extraordinary measures to curb the spread of infections as this affects all of us, but what do we do in complex situations like these? “We need to keep each other safe, whilst still doing what we can to support those hardest hit – the homeless being one of
them,” says Cader. “The outcomes are bleak no matter which way you look at it. We needed to find a balance, as we believe there has never been a greater need to give hope and serve those who are hungry and alone especially amidst a worldwide pandemic. Covid-19 protocols were tightened to ensure the homeless and volunteers were kept safe receiving food, a safe place to wash themselves and their clothes in the morning and a wholesome meal in the afternoon.”

Eersterivier-man toor met koffie BRENDEN RUITER @ruitervaniewind
’n
Entrepreneur van Eersterivier gaan eersdaags sy lewensdroom bewaarheid deur sy eie koffiewinkel te
open. Alhenrico Thomas, wat op 11-jarige ouderdom uit Bredasdorp na Eersterivier verhuis het, se droom oor sy eie koffiewinkel het in 2009 begin. “Die maatskappy waar ek gewerk het, het opleiding in koffie aangebied deur ’n jongman met die naam van Philip Reid, wat vandag my kollega en vriend is. Die saadjie is geplant en ek het só ontwikkel dat ek uiteindelik die Suid-Afrikaanse koffiekampioen geword het,” sê Thomas.
Om op sy sukses voort te bou, het hy die Champs Musical Coffee Shop Productions begin. “Ons het die onderneming in 2015 geregistreer, maar het net private gesellighede gedoen. Met die koms van die koronavirus en die inperking het ons besluit om dinge na die volgende vlak te neem. Ons maak nou immuunversterkers en produkte wat verkoue beveg. Alles word van varsprodukte gemaak en dit is nogal gewild,” sê Thomas. Hy het groot drome vir die toekoms. “Ons droom daarvan om jongmense in die gemeenskap te bemagtig en opleiding te verskaf. Uiteindelik wil ons ’n sentrum begin waar mense opleiding kan kry. Ons het reeds een jongman opgelei wat in 2019 tweede in ’n koffie-kompetisie geëindig het.”
Een van Eersterivier se bekendste uitvoerprodukte, die sportnuusleser Percivale Young, kry ’n koppie koffie by Alhenrico Thomas.

Hongersnood nog nie verby BRENDEN RUITER @ruitervaniewind
V
erlede jaar was die hongersnood erg, maar vanjaar gaan dit nog erger wees. Só sê Philip van Reenen, ’n weldoener van Kuilsrivier wat sedert verlede jaar sorg dat kinders in onder meer Kuilsrivier, Kalkfontein, Eersterivier en Wesbank nie honger gaan slaap nie. “Die eerste inperking het ons gewys dat hongersnood ’n groot probleem in ons gemeenskap is. Met die koronavirus wat steeds verwoesting saai, gaan ons mense nog lank sukkel om kos op die tafel te sit. Die geveg is nog lank nie gewen nie,” sê Van Reenen. Hy het verlede jaar die behoefte gesien en dadelik aan die werk gespring.
“Ek het eers uit my eie sak kos voorsien, maar kon nie die uitdrukking op kinders se gesigte verduur as ek hulle moes wegwys nie. Die behoefte het my oorweldig en ek kon saans nie slaap nie, want ek het die gesiggies voor my gesien,” sê Van Reenen. Om op te gee, het nooit deur Van Reenen se kop gegaan nie. “Hoe kon ek opgee? ’n Mens kry net daai gevoel van ‘as ek net my deel doen, dan kan ons wen’. “Ek het begin rondbel en ondernemings gevra om my te help sodat ek die gemeenskap kan help. ’n Mens besef eintlik daar is baie mense wat wil help, maar net nie weet hoe nie. Hulp het ingestroom en daarvoor is ek dankbaar,” sê Van Reenen. Van Reenen sê hy beoog om vanjaar sy hulp uit te brei. “Daar is mense in ander ge-
meenskappe wat ook hulp nodig het en dit gaan net erger word. Ek glo kinders wat honger is gaan ander maniere vind om kos te kry. Bendes bied uitkoms vir hierdie weerlose kinders en ons wil dit voorkom. Ek doen ’n beroep op mense om my te help om hierdie kinders te help,” sê Van Reenen. Mense wat Van Reenen wil bystaan, kan hom by 074 883 6680 bel.
Philip van Reenen se span berei kos voor vir minderbevoorregte kinders.

Giving back, one cupboard at a time NIELEN DE KLERK @nielendk
W
hat started as a hobby has turned into an organisation teaching others to help themselves. Johan Schronen (59) from Kenilworth learnt carpentry at school. He did a short course after graduating, and kept up the hobby throughout his life. One day he decided to give back to the community and has since then been teaching people the skills he learnt. He teamed up with friend Cedric Bouwer and the organisation MyWoodSkills was born. At first they taught adults at libraries, but in 2020 this expanded to teaching school learners for free in Bonteheuwel, Bellville and Bishop Lavis, and through the Salesians
Youth Institute all have learnt to make bathroom wall cabinets. Their programme boosts the existing woodwork curriculum. “I started training unemployed people about eight years ago where I found them waiting for casual work next to the road under trees,” explains Schronen. “I also started presenting short morning sessions at library halls for home owners and DIY enthusiasts. As the demand grew over the years I developed a structured course taking students on a cupboard building journey from idea and design through cutting lists, fittings and fasteners through to assembling carcasses, hanging doors, fitting drawers and installing countertops.” They offer blended courses, which combines modules, tasks and assessments online using a range of resources to interact
with learners. This means anyone can join their courses and proceeds are used to help those who cannot afford their courses. Schronen, a retired journalist and author of two textbooks, hopes to expand the programme to as many people as he can, helping more people to become employable in the process. “MyWoodskills’ vision extends beyond empowering unemployed people with skills to help them find work, we also encourage an entrepreneurial mindset with our students and present small business skill modules for those who may want to start their own small home-based venture.” V Email mywoodskills@gmail.com or text 082 299 0689 for more information.

Backlash after chaos at Sassa NIELEN DE KLERK @nielendk
S
assa and the police have received widespread criticism for a recent incident which saw police using a water cannon to enforce social distancing at the Bellville branch. Yet the incident, which happened on Friday 15 January, has done little to decrease the number of people queueing at different South African Social Security Agency (Sassa’s) offices, with many still sleeping outside different branches to ensure they’re helped.
Backlash The organisation Black Sash said they condemn the use of force and “the shameful and shocking disregard for the human rights of vulnerable beneficiaries, many of whom are disabled and chronically ill”. The national minister of social development, Lindiwe Zulu, was at Bellville’s offices on the day in question and used a hailer to tell people to adhere to social distancing measures. “The police deploying the use of force in the presence of the minister of social development is a clear indication that the minister and Sassa have lost control of the current situation as more and more people make their way to Sassa offices,” Black Sash says. “This was entirely predictable, given Sassa’s severe capacity constraints and the premature decision to allow temporary disability grants to lapse.” The national Department of Social Development (DSD) will brief the Portfolio Committee on Social Development on plans to end the queues at many Sassa pay points on 3 February, spokesperson Sibongile Maputi said in a statement. Bridget Masongo, the DA’s spokesperson on social development, welcomed this announcement saying “the absolute bungling of the temporary disability grants process cannot be sugar-coated and we trust that every member of the social development committee will hold the minister and those who report to her fully accountable.”
Why the long queues? The reapplication of lapsed temporary disability grants was extended from February last year to the end of December – leading to hundreds of people queueing over the past few weeks. Countrywide more than 200 000 temporary disability grants and care dependency grants across the country have lapsed. In the Western Cape 52 323 have to reapply after these grants lapsed on 31 December. Of these only 905 applications have been assessed so far, Sassa told the Western Cape provincial parliament last week. Bandile Maqetuka, the head of Sassa in the Western Cape, apologised to those who have been inconvenienced by long queues. In a presentation Maqetuka gave to the Standing Committee on Social Development, he said the offices with the biggest caseloads of lapsed grants include Bellville (7 299) and Khayelitsha (6 115). No assessments have taken place at these two offices. Eerste River has 6 650 applicants. This extension has cost Sassa around R1.8 billion and cannot be extended again, Maqetuka emphasised, as there isn’t enough money in Sassa’s coffers. The agency cannot pay for all those currently receiving temporary grants as well as other grant beneficiaries. Therefore those applying need to be assessed to ensure only those qualified can receive money, as the agency cannot pay. Demands Masongo said they demand answers on the following at the DSD’s briefing to parliament: . Why Sassa did not extend the temporary disability grants and care dependency grants knowing that they had institutional challenges which would delay assessments. . Why more doctors had not been brought on board to assess applicants – a national plan to fast track the assessment is required as only 32 people are being seen by a doctor per site; and . Why Sassa failed to capacitate its offices with adequate staff to assist with the influx in applications.

Local doctors eager to get C-19 vaccine T
he word on everyone’s lips currently is “vaccine”. More specifically, the Covid-19 vaccines which are currently being administered in several countries. Similarly, South Africa and the Western Cape is gearing itself for the arrival of these vaccines, broadly considered as an opportunity to return to some form of normality. A rapid poll was conducted and received input from 1 680 health staff members in the province to determine concerns and the level of acceptance to the vaccine; and 918 health staff indicated they would take the vaccine. “I am taking the vaccine. Scientists have provided evidence to show that this is currently our best medical defence against Covid-19,” says Dr Anita Parbhoo, acting CEO of the Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital. Dr Jantjie Taljaard, infectious diseases specialist at Tygerberg Hospital, concurs. “Being vaccinated will protect vaccinated individuals from severe disease but will also indirectly protect other non-vaccinated peo-
ple who may be at very high risk of dying,” he says. Andre Lindoor, social work supervisor at Tygerberg Hospital, says, “One should ask yourself ‘what can I do to save lives’? My simple answer would be, vaccinate. By doing this I would not just protect myself, but also those around me.” Prof Heather Zar, department of paediatrics and child health at Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital, adds, “The vaccine is one of the greatest advances we have to combat this terrible pandemic. So many have suffered and there has been so much loss and the vaccine can stop this.” The Covid-19 vaccination programme is the largest in the history of the country. It is with this in mind that the provincial health department is engaging with a range of stakeholders and sectors to ensure its success, the provincial health department said in a statement to the media on Friday 22 January. “Since the first positive Covid-19 case was confirmed in the Western Cape on 11 March
2020, 256 405 people have been infected and sadly 9 344 of our fellow citizens, friends and family members have succumbed to this pandemic,” the statement reads. Currently there are 10 leading vaccines which have been approved in various countries, with several others in development and testing phase. According to the provincial health department, South Africa has secured one million doses of the Covishield vaccine from the Serum Institute of India due for delivery at the end of January 2021 and a further 500 000 in February. “As with all things new, it is understandable that there are concerns from society around the safety and efficacy of the vaccine . . . but as with previous diseases, these vaccines are an important part in keeping society safe and stopping the spread of Covid-19. This is because vaccines offer protection to an individual, by reducing a person’s risk of infection or the severity of their symptoms, at a population level. When enough people have received the vaccine,
Covid-19 fund assists over 250 businesses More than 250 businesses in the province will benefit from the Covid-19 Business Relief Fund, saving at least 2 000 jobs during the Covid-19 pandemic. This, the provincial government announced on Thursday 21 January, saying that they have distributed R38 268 000 to 252 small businesses across the Western Cape. “We launched the Covid-19 Business Relief Fund in September last year to support small businesses in both the formal and informal sectors who have been hard-hit by
Covid-19 restrictions,” the statement reads. Western Cape finance minister David Maynier visited three of the businesses that were recipients of these funds. Bodyline Coachworks is a youth-owned business based in Killarney Gardens that employs 11 people and provides auto body repairs and motor repair services. K9 Petfoods is a women-owned business based in Montague Gardens that employs 50 people and provides pet food to some of the biggest retailers in South Africa.
Eat Smart is also a women-owned business in Montague Gardens employing 14 people and providing healthy ready-made meals to retailers across South Africa. “Each of these businesses have seen their operations impacted in some way by Covid-19, whether staff have been ill or had to self-quarantine, their supply chain has been impacted by delays at the Port of Cape Town or the market has been negatively impacted by the lockdown restrictions. However, what each of these businesses has shown is great resilience in the face of
they develop an immune response ‘herd or population immunity’ which results in a low risk of the virus continuing to spread within that community,” the statement read.
Roll-out logistics The vaccine will be given out in three phases beginning with frontline healthcare workers, followed by other essential workers and high-risk groups – people in congregate settings, over the age of 60 and people over 18 years of age with comorbidities, before trying to reach the wider population. In the Western Cape, a C-19 Vaccine Co-ordinating Committee has been established and will fulfil a stewardship role to enable a multi-sectoral provincial Covid-19 vaccination programme. The committee will keep relevant stakeholders informed on progress and connect with the National Vaccine Co-ordinating Committee. A private health sector co-ordinating committee consisting of the relevant stakeholders and an expert advisory committee, is also being established.
these challenges, and so I’m glad that through the Covid-19 Business Relief Fund we’ve been able to help these businesses stay open and save jobs in the Western Cape,” Maynier explained. The fund has provided financial assistance in the form of a financial grant to these businesses, with the purpose of subsidising business expenses. “The Western Cape Covid-19 Business Relief Fund is one of the many ways that we have worked hard to support small businesses during the Covid-19 pandemic. We know that times have been tough for businesses during the pandemic, and that is why we have been working hard to support businesses,” Maynier said.

Cape Town Cycle Tour cancelled Due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, the 2021 Cape Town Cycle Tour has had to be postponed from its traditional March date to later this year. “For several months they have been working hand-in-hand with the authorities and stakeholders around the possibility of hosting a significantly revised version of the Cape Town Cycle Tour in March 2021. Sadly, current circumstances make the hosting of a mass participation event in any format untenable for the immediate future,” reads part of their official statement. PHOTO: CHRIS HITCHCOCK
ELSIESRIVIER: NOORDELIKES KRY BAADJIES EN DASSE
Droom word waar AVRIL FILLIES
D
ie droom van wyle Philip Abrahams, voormalige president van Noordelikes-rugbyklub in Avonwood in Elsiesrivier, is Saterdag 23 Januarie verwesenlik toe die bestuur van die klub hul kleurbaadjies en dasse ontvang het. “Die jaar voor sy afsterwe het Mr A, soos hy alombekend was, ná ’n klubwedstryd op Avonwoodpark na my toe gekom en gesê dat die bestuur darem baie bont aangetrek veld toe kom en dat ons as klub moet aansoek doen by die SA Nasionale Lotery-fonds vir geld sodat ons almal ’n advertensie vir die klub kan wees. Vandag word die baadjies en dasse oorhandig en hy is nie hier om sy droom verwesenlik te sien nie,” sê Abraham Fredericks, president van die klub.
Die klubspelers sal ook almal baat vind by die skenking, want elkeen sal ’n oortrektrui, langbroek, hemp, rugbybroekie en ander toerusting in ’n rugbysak ontvang. Die oorhandiging aan die spelers sal later gedoen word wanneer klubrugby hervat word. By dieselfde geleentheid het Adonis (Kiepie) Cupido ook amptelik by die klub aangesluit en sy kleure ontvang. “Ek vier vanjaar my 50ste jaar in rugby en was voorheen verbonde aan die Tygerberg-rugbyklub. My eerste tree op die rugbyveld het ek in 1969 as 16-jarige vir die Tigers se o.135 pond (60 kg)-span gegee. Op 18-jaar het ek vir die seniors in die derde span begin en het ook die junior voorsitter en hulpafrigter van wyle Corra Joachims geword,” sê Cupido. Hy het op 19 sy debuut in die eer-

stespan gemaak en het saam met spelers soos Chris Joachims, Jannie Sternberg, John Mitchell, Bennie Parring, Ben van der Kolf, Peter Jooste en David Ligwa vir Tigers gespeel. “In 1973 het die klub besluit om by die nuutgestigte Tygerberg-rugbyunie aan te sluit en onder die vaandel van die voormalige SA Rugbyunie te speel. Die klub het toe ook besluit om ’n junior liga te begin en ek het die eerste voorsitter en afrigter van die o.19-span geword. “Later is ek gekies as die afrigter van die senior span en spelers wat ek afgerig het, sluit in Jooste, Julian Smith, John Visagie, Gerald Fortuin, Abraham Jooste, Vivian Davids, Abraham Cloete, Costa Theys, Stanley Raubenheimer, John en Magedien Arendse, Sidney Langenhoven en Cupido Ma-
nuel. Ek was ook bevoorreg om as voorsitter van die Tygerbergsportbeheerraad saam te werk met mense soos wyle oom Hansie Christians, George en Nico van Oordt, James Appollis, Chris van der Linde en Klaas Dirks,” sê hy. Hy het ook op provinsiale vlak as skeidsregter opgetree nadat hy besluit het om die fluitjie op te neem. “Ek was ook ’n keurder van die Tygerberg-rugbyunie en was die bestuurder van die Tygerberg-rugbyspan in die SA Bekerwedstryde teen die Boland en Griekwas. Ná eenwording in 1992 het ek nog vir drie jaar die fluitjie hanteer en toe my fluitjie opgehang. Ek het in daardie stadium besluit dat ek genoeg van rugby gehad het en wou my kennis met die gemeenskap deel. Die 50 jaar-diens aan rugby kan net toegeskryf word aan die genade van God, want ek is nog ge-
sond en kan as administrateur my kennis as afrigter en skeidsregter gebruik tot die voordeel van die gemeenskap,” sê Cupido. Met die Covid-19-pandemie wat alle gemeenskapsport laat stop het, het Fredericks gesê dit was baie moeilik vir klubs om spelers en administrateurs gemotiveerd te hou. “Ons het nie gedink dat daar geen rugby in 2020 gespeel sou word nie, en nou aan die begin van 2021 is alles nog in onsekerheid gedompel, maar die hoop beskaam nie. Intussen hou ons afrigters gereeld kontak met die spelers deur ’n WhatsApp-groep om seker te maak dat hulle nog oukei is. Ek moet erken dit is moeilik om nie persoonlik met die spelers kontak te maak nie, maar ons moet die Covid-19-protokol volg sodat almal veilig kan bly tot ons weer op die veld kan draf,” sê Fredericks.
