Groot gatsby voed 16 mense BRENDEN RUITER @ruitervaniewind

H

et jy al ooit gedroom van ’n reusegatsby waaraan jy kan eet en eet, en dit nie kan op kry nie? Wel, daardie droom kan nou bewaarheid word as jy na MCD Pizza-en-wegneemetes in Eersterivier gaan en hul Undertaker-gatsby bestel. ’n Gatsby is ’n eg Kaapse dis, oftewel daait, wat bestaan uit ’n broodrol gevul met aartappelskyfies, blaarslaai en bykans enigiets onder die son. Ja, ’n mens kry polonie-gatsbies en steakgatsbies en snoek-gatsbies en, en, en. Op ’n goeie dag, en as jy genoeg geld het, kan jy ’n Fullhouse-gatsby koop. Dit is gevul met slaptjips, slaai, steak, kaas en ook eier. Om bykomende geur aan jou gatsby te gee, kan

jy kies tussen verskillende souse. ’n Gatsby word gemaak om deur vriende gedeel te word en hierdie delery lei gewoonlik tot ’n stryery. Met die Undertaker hoef daar nie meer onder mekaar gestry te word nie. Volgens Johan Joseph, eienaar van MCD, is die gatsby groot genoeg sodat almal genoeg kan kry. “Die Undertaker is meer as drie meter lank en bevat 2 400 g slaptjips. Dit word bedien met ons spesiale sous, wat dit nog meer geur gee,” sê Joseph. Dit is sy liefde om vir mense kos te gee wat hom gedryf het om met die massiewe gatsbies te begin. “Ek was in die lugmag en het vyf jaar gelede afgetree. Omdat ek nog jonk van gees is, het ek gewonder waarin kon ek my pensioen belê. Ek en my vrou het eenkeer in ’n restaurant gesit en eet en toe die rekening kom, was dit astronomies. Die idee het by opgekom dat ek graag baie mense wou voed vir so min geld as moontlik. Die geleentheid om die eetplek oop te maak het hom voorgedoen

en het ek gespring,” sê Joseph. Hy het ’n groot liefde vir rofstoei en het besluit om sy eerste groot gatsby na The Great Khali te noem. “Hierdie een het groot aftrek gekry en ek kan op ’n naweek so 50 van hulle verkoop. Ons het redelik onlangs eers met die Undertaker (nog ’n rofstoeiheld van Joseph) begin en ek is seker hy sal ’n treffer wees sodra mense daarvan bewus word. Ses-

tien mense kan aan hom smul.” Waar kry hulle ’n broodrol wat meer as drie meter lank is? “Dit was nogal ’n soektog. Uiteindelik het ek ’n bakker gekry wat bereid was om vir my ’n vorm te maak om die broodrol in te bak. Ek is seker die Undertaker is die grootste gatsby in die Kaap, want ons personeel moet die klante help om dit in hul motors te laai,” spog Joseph.

Idols auditions going virtual

W

ith the current pandemic the country is faced with, M-Net’s Idols SA series will have a completely different composition for season 17 auditions. To keep up with the spirit of social distancing, auditions will be held virtually. Participants are required to create a video of themselves singing for 30 se­conds. According to a statement, it’s important for the participants to prepare their 30-second-long clip and all the relevant information before they log onto the Mzansi Magic website to submit their entry. “This exciting new format gives people who could not get to the designated venues an opportunity they have been

The City of Cape Town is inviting neighbourhood watches to participate in a survey to get a clearer understanding of the role mobile applications or other technology play in helping neighbourhood watches (NHWs) to keep communities safe. The app survey which was released last week was sent to those neighbourhood watches using WhatsApp and Telegram platforms in their daily operations. A statement reads that the objective of the current survey is to find out which platforms are already in use, how effective they are and to inform the City of the applications they use to communicate with the community and other crime prevention role players. The City’s development team follows an inclusive process and will take into

The online auditions platform opened on Friday 29 January. The submission portal will close at either 22:00 on Sunday 14 February or after the first 15 000 entries.

consideration all feedback received from NHWs. The City’s Mayco member for safety and security JP Smith said it’s important to the City to hear directly from watch groups on what online and mobile applications they currently use as this will inform and drive the development of a City mobile app. “The app will allow NHWs to improve on their response time, share valuable information and add value as an important link between the City’s enforcement agencies and the community. “NHWs assist the City in our fight against crime and we will continue with the support and the development of programmes to further strengthen our priority to keep communities safe.” Participation in the survey has now been extended to Friday 12 February.

Aktrise van Delft droom groot BRENDEN RUITER @ruitervaniewind

’n

Enkelma van Delft het nie toegelaat dat struikelblokke in haar pad staan om haar drome uit te leef nie. Abygail Human, ’n aktrise wat in die hoogaangeskrewe Netflix-reeks, Blood and Water, speel, se lewe het amper op ’n jong ouderdom ontspoor. “Ek was 18 jaar oud toe ek op iemand verlief geraak het en het kort daarna swanger geraak. Ek het niks van ma-wees geweet nie en om dinge te vererger, het my kind se pa die hasepad gekies toe ek drie maande swanger was. Hy het nooit weer sy verskyning gemaak nie. My skoolloopbaan het ook in die slag gebly. Dit was moeilik, maar ek moes leer hoe om ’n enkelma te wees,” sê Human. Hierdie terugslae het egter nie vir Human van stryk gebring nie. “Al die terugslae het my net sterker gemaak en ek het uitgespring en gaan werk soek. Ek het in die eerste reeks van Blood and Water gespeel en gaan in die tweede reeks meer verskyn. Wanneer ek so na sepies op die televisie kyk, dan droom ek nog om een in te speel en ek glo deur hard te werk sal ek bereik waarvan ek droom,” sê Human. Haar droom van voor die kamera wees het in 2017 begin toe sy aan ’n skoonheidskompetisie deelgeneem het. “Dit het my aangewakker om groter te droom en ek is dankbaar vir die geleenthede. Ek is nog nie waar ek wil wees nie, maar ek is seker met harde werk sal ek dit maak. My boodskap aan jong meisies, veral dié wat met struikelblokke sukkel, is dat jou drome nie ongeldig is nie. ’n Wenner is ’n dromer wat nooit opgee nie,” sê sy.

Lockdown: ‘The kids are not okay’ says pediatrician DESIRÉE RORKE @dezzierorke With the opening of schools extended to 14 February, the pandemic is taking a heavy toll on children. As parents may have mixed emotions about the impact of schools opening so late in the term, children show their anxiety by throwing tantrums and displaying anti-social behaviour and depression. A mother in Brackenfell tells of the impact lockdown regulations had on her nine-year-old daughter. “My daughter has always had a strong personality, so much so that I sometimes worried that she was overconfident. But with lockdown her personality started to change,” says the parent whose name is not published to protect the identity of the child. “When she had to go back to school last year, she did not want to and the things she said had me very worried. She started getting panic attacks and was referred to a psychologist who diagnosed her with social anxiety. She didn’t want to be around people at all and said things like ‘What does any­thing matter and why are we alive anyway?’ “Every day is different; some days better than others,” she says. The identity of all the parents TygerBurger spoke to will be protected. One such parent is very worried about her son. “He is generally a quiet child, but its getting worse. He misses his friends and routine. He is tired of playing computer games and bored with himself,” she says. Yet another parent spoke out about her two children. “During hard lockdown my 11-year-old did not want to do anything and was paranoid about everything. Yesterday he told me, ‘Schools must open now, I cant handle this anymore’! His younger sister is very emotional as she misses her friends,” the mom says. Several other parents TygerBurger spoke to say their children have shown behavioural changes mostly due to the fact that they are bored and miss interaction with their friends, and are prone to temper tantrums. “My teenager ended up in the clinic last year and is currently on anti-depression medication. She was on a waiting list to get into the clinic as there were so many cases,” one mom says. Dr Iqbal Karbanee, paediatrician at Cape Gate Mediclinic and CEO of PaedIQ Babyline, says this behaviour may be

a normal reaction under the current uncertainty. Karbanee says it is essential to prioritise the wellbeing of your child or children during this uncertain time. “We are seeing an increase in the number of children displaying unusual behaviour as a direct consequence of the circumstances brought on by the pandemic,” he says. These changes can be very subtle, and may be mistaken for bad behaviour, rather than seen in context, which if not addressed correctly, could have a longterm negative impact. Children under the age of three may be experiencing mood swings, nightmares, fidgeting or the sudden onset of bedwetting. “I’ve seen this in my own child, who suddenly started getting nightmares of getting sick after eating food given to her by a stranger. This anxiety was a direct result of learning at school that she should not share food or cutlery because it may make her sick,” explains Karbanee. He adds that children are having to un­learn many social norms, from “sharing is caring” to not sharing at all, given how the coronavirus is spread. This can create confusion. Young children that have not been going to crèche may become less confident in so­cial settings and even refuse to interact with their peers. “Anxiety may turn usually sociable and playful children into clingy, tearful kids who instead of being happy to go to crèche, only want to sit on their mothers’ laps.” How to identify anxiety in children “Parents know their children. Every child has a baseline behaviour. If they do something that deviates from their normal baseline set of behaviours, then it may very well be that your child is being impacted by the uncertainty brought on by the pandemic,” explains Karbanee. Karbanee says it is also essential for parents to become aware of their own emotional states, as their own anxiety could spill over to the child. “For school-going children, it is best to deal with it cognitively through reasoning or explaining to them and talking to them about what is happening; both around them and their own emotional state of being. For children who are in the process of developing their cognitive skills and cannot yet reason, it is best for the parents to be extra sensitive to their children’s needs,” he advises.

THABANG KUAHO @thab_journo With Thursday 4 February being World Cancer Day, TygerBurger looks into how the Covid-19 pandemic has affected patients who make use of facilities for treatment, patient management in the public sector and the provincial health department’s plan of action in minimising the risk of exposure at facilities. The pandemic has affected the lives of many chronic disease patients, causing panic about what would become of them if the need for urgent medical care comes. Gloria Mbunyana from Kraaifontein says last year was the most worrisome period she had to deal with her three-year battle with breast cancer. “From the day the lockdown was announced in March, I had questions if I would ever be able to continue receiving chemotherapy at Tygerberg hospital,” she says. She soon realised there was no reason to worry because the management at the hospital had safeguarded the place. “There was absolutely no reason for us, patients, to worry because the hospital had everything taken care of.” Mbunyana says care for cancer patients has been the department’s priority from the beginning.

Although the pandemic has not had much of an effect on the paediatric oncology department at Tygerberg Hospital, fear of the virus might have led to many children being undiagnosed. The pandemic also led to a slight decrease in the paediatric cancer patients, probably due to parents reluctant to access state hospitals due to Covid-19,” the hospital’s Rozaun Botes says. “The hospital did, however, see a reduction in referrals of adult patients in the third quarter of last year due to the limited numbers of oncology surgical lists and reduced movement of the population resulting in the hard lockdown. The referrals increased again in the last quarter,” she says. These do lead to delays in cancer patients whose primary treatment is surgical. Access to theatres and advanced imaging were limited and had to be negotiated on individual patient basis to ensure crucial investigations and operations were done for emergency purposes. “Long-term paediatric survivors could not access these necessary investigations and therefore were negatively affected. At the same time only one parent could accompany a child that had to be admitted for chemotherapy and parental discussion had to be online, sometimes difficult in the context of limited resources for families,” Botes explains.

Police are looking for alleged killer T

he Mfuleni police are looking for a man wanted for two separate murders, attempted murder and other serious cri-

mes. The 30-year-old Mandlenkosi Mgadi, also known as Mandla, from Wesbank, is wanted for killing 16-year-old Bronwyn Ligman at a house in Mangold Street, Wesbank, on 1 January around 19:45. According to WO November Filander, police spokesperson, the suspect is also wanted for the killing of 33-year-old Yanga Beyi at Covid City informal settlement near Green Park in Mfuleni. “The deceased and his girlfriend were inside a shack when the suspect fatally shot him and wounded his girlfriend. Mgadi should be considered armed and dangerous and could be in the areas of Kraaifontein or Mitchell’s Plain. He has visible marks on his face and is a member of the 28 K-9 gang,” says Filander. Anyone who knows the whereabouts of Mgadi can contact the investigating officer, Lt Col Michael Thebus, on 082 334 7486.

If you know this man or where he is please notify the Mfuleni police.

Health services at clinics Residents are encouraged to continue accessing essential health services at the City of Cape Town’s clinics. According to a statement from the City’s health department, several overflow facilities opened in July last year to increase capacity at clinics and to ensure continuous services amid the Covid-19 pandemic. “We currently have 34 overflow facilities at our clinics and it is heartening to see residents continue to access our normal services and adhering to their health schedules, such as immunisation and antenatal and family planning services. While the current Covid-19 situation has impacted every aspect of our lives, and requires us to adhere to additional health protocols, there is still screening for HIV and TB, as well as medical checks for chronic conditions that need to be done and medication that needs to be collected,” said the City’s Mayco member for community services and health, Zahid Badroodien. By November last year there was a dramatic increase in the number of patients diagnosed with hypertension and diabetes, as well as the number of women who had cervical smear tests done (as opposed to June). The number of chil-

dren under one year who were fully immunised remained stable at an average of 3 100 children per month. The number of first antenatal visits remained stable at an average of 2 100 per month. Badroodien said the overflow facilities became necessary to enable adherence to Covid19 protocols and to continue general service delivery. “Some of these services are critical such as child immunisations and visits by clients with chronic conditions. Other services also continue and residents are encouraged to visit the clinics when they need to.” The City’s health department has an appointment system. Patients are given a date and a time for their appointment based on their preference, appointment availability and urgency of care. The system includes all non-acute services. Residents should arrive 15 minutes before their appointment. Expect to be screened for Covid-19 symptoms. Only the person in need of the service should attend. Wear a mask and ensure it covers your nose and mouth at all times. Adhere to social distancing. Stay at home if you are not well on the day of the appointment and inform the clinic that you are unable to attend.

Mfuleni police get drugs and weapons off the street Quick response from the Mfuleni police’s crime prevention unit last week resulted in the arrest of a 41-year-old man for possession of an unlicensed firearm at Engen garage, Hindle Road, in Blue Downs. According to police spokesperson WO November Philander the officers responded to the complaint at about 10:30, after receiving information of suspiciouslooking suspects inside the Engen garage shop, pretending to be customers. “Upon arrival, the officers cornered and searched five males inside the shop and found one Norinco 9mm pistol, a magazine and eight 9mm rounds in possession of one suspect. The firearm license expired in 2019. Part of the investigation process is to check if the suspect can be linked with other serious crimes. Once charged for possession of an unlicensed firearm and ammunition, the suspect will appear in the Blue Downs magistrate’s court,” says Filander. In four unrelated incidents officers arrested five males in four separate incidents. “The first incident occurred around 08:00 on 27 January when officers on vehicle patrol duties in Goodeve Street, Wesbank, noticed a suspicious looking female coming out of a wellknown drug outlet. Upon searching the 38-year-old female, they found three whole Mandrax tablets and eleven half Mandrax tablets in her possession with an unknown street value. Later in the afternoon, around 14:00, the officers arrested a 20-year-old male for possession of drugs in Tokwana Street, Mfuleni, after receiving information from the public about illegal drug activities at the house. They found six half Mandrax tablets, four quarter Mandrax tablets and 24 tik straws in his possession with an unknown street value. “Shortly after that, officials of the Mfuleni complaints vehicle arrested a 27year-old male in possession of two Mandrax tablets, four quarter Mandrax tablets and nine sachets of tik with an unknown street value in Parliament Street, Mfuleni. In another incident around 21:00 on Tuesday (26 January), officers attended a house robbery complaint in Vogelvlei Street in Wesbank. It is believed that four males, armed with knives, forced open the house’s front door. They robbed the complainant and took one Nokia cellphone, an undisclosed amount of cash, earrings, and fled the scene on foot. Early the next morning the officers followed up information on the suspects’ whereabouts and managed to arrest two of the suspects aged 23 and 25

Weapons that were confiscated by the Mfuleni police.

The Mfuleni police confiscated the drugs from alleged dealers.

Drugs that were taken from the streets. from Wesbank. They also recovered the stolen items from the suspects. The search for the other two suspects continue,” says Filander. The acting station commander of the Mfuleni police, Col Sibulelo Mvumbi, praised the officers for their vigilance and hard work in apprehending these suspects and removing the illegal items from our streets.

EERSTERIVIER: OUERS SPOOR HOM AAN

Sportnuusleser inspireer jonges BRENDEN RUITER @ruitervaniewind As jy hard werk, is daar niks wat in jou pad staan om sukses te behaal nie. Só glo Percivale Young, sportnuusleser op eNuus en een van Eersterivier se voorste uitvoerprodukte. TygerBurger het met Young gesels oor sy drome, lewenslesse en sukses. 1. Jy is ’n sportnuusleser op televisie, dus ’n openbare figuur. Het jy as kind gedroom om eendag bekend te wees? Ek kan nie sê ek het gedroom om eendag bekend te wees nie, maar ek het wel gehoop om eendag ’n goeie werk te kry om vir myself te sorg. Ek moet ook bieg dat ek in ’n stadium ’n akteur in ’n aksiefliek wou word – en seker só bekend te word. Daardie droom het toe nie so lekker uitgewerk nie. Tog doen ek so twee of drie keer per week bietjie “toneelspel” as ek op die kassie verskyn. 2. Jy was eers ’n joernalis. Verduidelik hoe jy in die nuuswêreld beland het. Snaaks genoeg was die joernalistiek nooit een van my loopbaankeuses op skool nie. Totdat daar die een dag in standerd nege (deesdae graad 11) ’n driedaagse joernalistiekkursus by my hoërskool in Mitchells Plain aangebied is. My ouers het my in 1994 na die Senior Sekondêre Skool Princeton toe gestuur met die hoop dat ek ’n elektriese ingenieur sou word. Die nuuswêreld het my gebyt en ek het gevolglik ná my matriekjaar joernalistiek aan die Skiereilandse Technikon (deesdae Kaapse Skiereiland Universiteit van Tegnologie) gaan studeer. Oor die drie jaar het my nuuskierigheid vir stories en stories vertel nog verder gegroei. Nadat ek my nasionale diploma verwerf het, het ek vir ’n kort tydperk as ’n junior joernalis by Rapport in Kaapstad gewerk. Ek het kort daarna ’n geleentheid by die Kaapse Son gekry en as sportjoernalis begin werk. In 2009 het ek die geleentheid gekry om by die Engelse televisiekanaal eNews te gaan werk. Destyds kon ek nie ordentlik Engels praat nie, maar ek het die geleentheid met albei hande aangegryp. Ek was vir sewe jaar ’n sportjoernalis vir eNews en het ook vir vyf jaar as

Percivale Young, boorling van Eersterivier, is elke aand omstreeks 19:00 op die kassie. joernalis vir eNuus gewerk. In 2018 het ek as sportnuusleser by eNuus begin. 3. Put jy genot uit jou werk? Dit is ’n baie uitdagende beroep, want jy moet daagliks die dag se grootste sportnuus in minder as vyf minute saamvat en dit boonop op die mees kreatiewe manier aan die kyker weergee. Ek geniet dit baie. 4. Ons doen gereeld stories oor Eersterivier en jammerlik is dit gereeld negatief. Voel jy dat jy ’n voorbeeld is dat jou omgewing nie bepaal waar ’n mens in die lewe eindig nie? Wel, ek hoop regtig so. Ek is maar een van tientalle talentvolle produkte wat uit Eersterivier kom en steeds in die gemeenskap doenig is. Nes Eersterivier het elke gemeenskap maar sy uitdagings – werkloosheid, bendes, dwelms en oor die algemeen net hope maatskaplike probleme. Maar ek glo as daar ’n wil is om jouself te bemagtig en jy mense om jou het wat jou ook aanspoor, dan kan jy iets

positief van jouself maak. Maar om uit jou sogenaamde omstandighede te kom verg ook baie opofferings. So byvoorbeeld moes ek baiekeer my vriende in die steek laat as daar partytjies bygewoon is. Daar is ’n tyd vir lekker tye en dan is daar ook ’n tyd vir skouer aan die wiel sit. 5. Wie inspireer jou? Soos ek vroeër gesê het as jy mense om jou het wat jou ondersteun, dan kan jy jouself ook uit jou omstandighede kry. In my geval het ek ouers gehad wat baie, baie opofferings gemaak het om my deur die skool en basiese tersiêre opleiding te kry. Hulle het my vir ’n groot deel van my lewe aangespoor om hard te werk sodat ek eendag op my eie voete kan staan. En daarvoor sal ek hulle ewig dankbaar wees. My ouers het byvoorbeeld nie die voorregte gehad wat ek en my kinders vandag het nie; tog het hulle jare lank in ’n fabriek en vir die spoorweë gewerk om seker te maak ek en my twee susters kon ons skoolloopbaan voltooi. Ek kan nie onthou dat my ouers ooit gekla het oor hul omstandighede nie, maar hulle was altyd baie streng oor skool en daarvoor sal ek hulle ewig dankbaar wees. Selfs meer belangrik is die manier hoe my ouers hul lewens gelei het. Hulle was ’n voorbeeld vir ons as kinders. Ek hoop my lewenstyl gaan eendag ’n toonbeeld vir my eie kinders wees. 6. Watter boodskap het jy vir jong kinders van Eersterivier wat dalk sukkel om te glo dat hulle hul drome kan bereik? Ek verstaan heeltemal dat almal se omstandighede verskil. Baie jongmense in Eersterivier het dit dalk nie so maklik soos Percivale Young dit gehad het nie. Tog glo ek as daar ’n wil is om jou droom te bereik, dan kan jy dit doen. Vir sommige van ons beteken dit egter dat ons bietjie harder moet werk en meer opofferings moet maak. Baie mense het vir my gelag en mense lag nou nog vir my, maar ek kon nie toelaat dat dit in die pad van enige van my drome kom nie. Die mense wat nou nog vir my lag, lag deesdae met ’n glinster in hul oë, want as hulle my deesdae op die televisie sien, dan besef hulle daai man is van ons gemeenskap.

Cyclists reminded to stick to rules of the road Most cyclists have been yelled at or ill-treated by a driver at some point. “Cyclists don’t obey the rules of the road,” is one of the most common arguments drivers use to justify their behaviour. Sometimes justifiably so. “It doesn’t matter where or what you ride, please give respect to be respected,” said chair of the Pedal Power Association (PPA), Steve Hayward. Recently two cyclists collided with one another on the very popular Chapman’s Peak Drive owing to one of the cyclists losing control at high speed and causing the crash. The one cyclist rode away from the scene of the crash without even enquiring if the other rider was fine. The PPA receives regular complaints about cyclists’ behaviour on the road towards fellow riders and motorists. “We appeal to all cyclists to comply with all traffic laws and Covid-19 lockdown regulations. Let’s be courteous towards all road users and be part of the solution, not the pro-

blem,” Hayward said. Some useful tips for cyclists when sharing the road with other riders and drivers: Observe the latest level three lockdown regulations (as at time of print) for cycling: . Cyclists are able to continue training but not in groups; . Cycling is currently restricted to between the hours of 05:00 and 21:00 daily unless you are an essential worker and have a permit; . Masks are not required when exercising vigorously, but cyclists must keep a distance of 1.5m away from any other person. A mask needs to be worn at all other times; . Ride in single file and only pass other cyclists when it is safe to do so. Cycling two or more abreast in the road is illegal and is one of the practices that give motorists reason to be frustrated with cyclists; . When overtaking another cyclist do so on the right with an audible verbal warning. Other cyclists do not expect you to pass on

their left-hand side; . Cycle predictably and use hand signals so other road users know what your intentions are. Make life easy for drivers to predict what you’re going to do, and you will find it easier to stay safe; . Observe traffic signals, stop and yield signs and pedestrian crossings. If you want to be respected as a road user, you need to cycle responsibly; . When you reach a red traffic signal or stop sign, you should wait behind a cyclist who is already there. For some cyclists it seems to have become the norm to pass and stop in front of the rider ahead, even if it involves doing so in the middle of a pedestrian crossing or in the actual intersection well ahead of the traffic light. This is an incredibly offensive practice; . Don’t cycle against traffic. Riding in the opposite direction on the opposite side of the road is extremely dangerous; . It is illegal to cycle with headphones. The law only permits hearing aids to be in

Geen sport res van somer SAREL BURGER Die huidige viruspandemie het nóg ’n uitklophou geplant. Met versigtig gekose woorde het die WP Krieketunie (WPKU) so pas in ’n skrywe alle wedstryde en toernooie op amateur- en skoolvlak gedurende die res van die huidige somerseisoen “verbied”. Die verwagting is dat die ampsdraers van die ander vernaamste somersportsoorte spoedig soortgelyke aankondigings sal maak. Die skrale kans wat daar was dat amateur- en skolekrieketkompetisies vandeesmaand sou plaasvind, is die nekslag toegedien weens die tweede virusvlaag die afgelope weke. En terwyl gemeen is dat die somersportseisoen tot in Mei “gerek” sou kon word, is daar nou selfs sprake van ’n derde vlaag van die pandemie binnekort. Uit ’n praktiese oogpunt is die “ongelukkige” besluit van die WPKU heeltemal te verstane. Afgesien daarvan dat alle munisipale sportgeriewe en velde tans buite perke is, sal dit ook binne die volgende paar maande nie vir sportlui toeganklik wees nie, aangesien dieselfde terreine dalk deur die beoefenaars van die wintersportsoorte benut sal wil word. In so ’n geval sou dit onder meer meebring dat die krieketbaanblaaie nie na behore voorberei en behandel kon word met die oog op enige wedstryde nie. Ander faktore wat deur die WPKU aangevoer word ten opsigte van die kansellasie van enige voorgenome krieketwedstryde in die komende weke, is “ontwrigtings” as gevolg van die Paasnaweek en die maand van Ramadaan. Indien die pandemie onder beheer gekry kan word, sal dit beteken dat die amateur-somersportbeoefenaars nou eers teen September of selfs Oktober mekaar eers weer die stryd sal kan aansê.

your ear. Don’t hinder your ability to hear warnings and approaching dangers; . During events (which were still on hold at the time of print) riding in a group means you need to think about what other cyclists expect you to do. The perfect group will be a seamless body of movement and this is, in part, due to the awareness of the riders. The natural extension of this is holding your line. If you must take the hit and ride through that small pothole, do that. Just don’t flick the bike around and weave all over the place – nobody can predict that, and you’ll eventually cause a crash; . Don’t overlap wheels. This is like sitting in someone’s blind spot when driving. You know you’re there, but they might not. And if they move out slightly and touch wheels with you, one or both of you are coming down. The best places to be are behind, beside or in front of someone else, never overlapping wheels. Unless the group consists of experienced riders who know that you are riding half a wheel behind. “Let’s all cycle responsibly, respect and greet others, and make it enjoyable and safer for all cyclists and easier for the cycling community to grow,” Hayward concluded.
