Fire consumes home CHILTON MELLEM
The week got off to a terrible start for a resident of Forest Heights after tragedy struck twice in one day. Not only did Eva Breda, 46, lose her home and possessions when her house burned down on Monday, she also lost her father on the same day. The morning began early for Breda when she went to Eerste River Hospital after receiving news that her father was at the point of death.
She had left her home before 08:00, leaving her five children alone at home. Breda had been so taken back that she was practically speechless and could not remember the exact time she had left home. She had two wendy houses on her plot which were leased out to two different families. Both the wendy houses were engulfed in the flames along with her own house. Chrystal Cloete, one of the boarders in the wendy house said she was woken up by shouting. “I woke up and heard Eva’s

daughter shout that the house was burning. At that time one of the back rooms had already been destroyed,” Cloete said. She then woke up her children and husband and told them to get out of the wendy house. Cloete then ran to the other wendy house to wake up the other family. She recalls that the fire started around 07:45. Cloete said the fire department only arrived on the scene at 09:00. “They could have saved the wendy house at the back if they came sooner. When they came, they didn’t

even have enough water in their tanks,” said Cloete. She said the firemen found a fire hydrant at a house across the street and put their hose in there to get more water to extinguish the flames. According to Kleinvlei police spokesperson, W/O Annacletta Mothoalo, Breda’s granddaughter who is three years old, was allegedly playing with a cigarette lighter. It is unknown what caught flame first before the house caught alight. Mothoalo said children should not be left unattended, however in
this circumstance it is understandable. Cloete will now be staying with her mother who lives next door. The department of social development has been doing their share by helping the families with clothes for their children. The families have also received counselling. Mothoalo advises community members not to leave their children unattended over the holidays. Harmful things such as matches, paraffin, poison, chemicals and medication should also be kept out of the reach of children.

Velodrome not available to clubs JANA BEKKER
Sport clubs in Bellville, especially athletics and cycling, are extremely concerned over their future, as they will not be able to train at the Velodrome during its development over the coming years. A meeting to weigh up options and find a workable solution to accommodate athletics clubs and school athletics when the Bellville Velodrome will be developed from next year, was held at the stadium last week. A business and retail park, hotel, conference centre and residential units will be erected at the Velodrome in a R3 billion project.
Alexander Dykes, District Six Manager of the City of Cape Town, said those attending the meeting will form a working group, with the purpose of finding alternative accommodation for athletic fixtures and practises when the stadium closes in 2012. TygerBurger reported on clubs’ concerns over having no alternative in August this year (“Geriewe bedreig – Sportklubs oor nuwe ontwikkeling”). Alternative space is also necessary for the cycling club, as well as storage space for athletic equipment. One of the questions raised at the meeting was by Gert Engelbrecht, representative of the Bellville Athletic Club, who enquired
about valid contracts that were in place between the cycling club and the City of Cape Town, but Alexander said all but one of the planned fixtures for next year have been allocated to other venues. “I am not sure about the Top 10 Championship,” he said. He said it was necessary to explore options to accommodate the cycling and athletics clubs, but that the athletic season ended around April and that most major events have been catered for around the country. “To my view the 2011 and 2012 season is done and dusted,” Alexander said. He said there are a number of running clubs (or tracks) in Cape Town, including Vygieskraal in
Athlone, Wesfleur in Atlantis, Parow, Khayelitsha, Blue Downs, Kuils River and at UWC and CPUT. At Kuils River, Wesfleur and Parow however, there are no stands, while UWC is not under the City’s control. Green Point Stadium will be completed next year March, according to James Evans of SA Athletics, who also attended the meeting. Travelling distances to alternative fields is a major concern for all the sport clubs, due to costs involved. Gert voiced his concern over a venue for 200 athletes to do preseason training. He suggested the clubs still train at the Velodrome
during the first phases of the project. “I have spoken to the developer and he said it would be possible for us to train there, as the tartan will only be laid over the last three months of the project,” Gert said. Freddie Prince, manager for District Sport and Recreation for the City of Cape Town said an audit of challenges will be done and the City will look for solutions. “If bookings protocol at other clubs are managed properly, half our problems will be solved,” he said. He said it was imperative that this group sat down to start plotting fixture lists. A follow-up meeting was scheduled for January 2011.
Movie about euthanasia will upset pet lovers DESIREÉ RORKE
Can the battle against pet over-population be won? This is the question an independent filmmaker Riaan Hendricks is doing his utmost to unravel with the movie Wild Dog – a movie the NSPCA would rather not have see the light of day. This film, which is still to be completed, is an eye-opener that turns the spotlight on the plight of hundreds of thousands of domesticated cats and dogs that are euthanised each year. Especially now, over the festive season when these numbers increase significantly. It is an observational documentary, which draws the viewer into the lives of the people struggling to stem the tide of unwanted animals and its impact on society. The film focuses on and plays off at the Helderberg Animal Welfare kennels where approximately 140 animals are euthanised each month – a conservative estimate according to Julia Evans, general manager at the organisation. This kennel serves only the Helderberg and surrounding area, and already cannot cope with the influx of unwanted animals. Sick animals or those with behaviour problems are put out first, to open up space for new animals coming in, and so the cycle continues. “We absolutely hate euthanasia, but we are chock-a-block – our kennels, foster care and adoption systems. We are left with no choice,” she says. According to Evans, the situation had reached crisis level years ago,
and that something drastic needs to be done. Evans supports this movie, and hopes that it will bring the necessary awareness. Alarmingly, Evans and the Helderberg Animal Welfare, is the only organisation TygerBurger spoke to, willing to blow the lid off the euthanasia debacle. Both the AACL (Animal AntiCruelty League) and the SPCA in Cape Town, have declined to make public the number of animals euthanised by them. René Southwood, manager at the AACL, is of the opinion that these figures will make the public “an-
Mutts of the Week
gry” and that this kind of awareness won’t solve the problem either. Also, Sarah Scarth from the SPCA in Cape Town wishes not to release their euthanasia statistics, but does confirm that the number of stray animals admitted over the past few months has increased. “The numbers of strays admitted in November was up by 39 percent and this puts even more pressure on our kennels ... At this time of the year we also see the number of surrendered animals increase – animals handed over to our animal care centre by owners who no longer want them or can afford them.

the NSPCA (National Council of SPCAs), slammed Hendricks and the film, saying that this kind of publicity will turn the public to prolife (no-kill shelters), resulting in the SPCA losing financial benefactors. “We also question certain aspects of the film in legal terms,” she said, referring to Hendricks filming the animal inspector of Helderberg Animal Welfare going to a house to pick up a sick dog. According to Kuch, the inspector in the film must be qualified, and must have the magisterial authority to come onto the property to remove the animal and that a minor is not allowed to be interviewed. Hendricks however confirmed that the girl in the film is 18 and that the particular animal owner contacted the Helderberg Animal Welfare and requested them to come and take their sick dog. “We worry about the impression this movie will give the public. It undermines our message,” she said, and says Hendricks must be careful not to get himself prosecuted. “The sad reality is that ‘any port in a storm’ is not an option. Finding someone to take an animal to avoid euthanising it, is irresponsible. Animal collectors are devious and many people are misguided when they take an animal, especially if they are told or have been led to believe that euthanasia might be imminent. This is emotional blackmail, impulse adopting and the long-term welfare of the animal is put at risk. It is inhumane to con-
fine animals for long periods. “Stress results and this may lead to behavioural problems which may never be overcome – rendering the animal even less likely to be ‘adoptable’ or to settle in a home,” the NSPCA’s standard policy on euthanasia reads. Filmmaker Hendricks however disagrees with Kuch and hopes that the NSPCA will support the movie. “What makes the story moving and engaging is the compassion with which such emotional demanding work is done.” He is now seeking public funding for the completion of the film via http://www.indiegogo.com/wilddog (website contains trailer). Hendricks hopes that once the film has been completed it will be used countrywide by communities and animal welfare organisations to make the public aware of the crisis and the importance of sterilisation. The fact that sterilisation is the only long-term solution is one thing all animal welfare organisations agree upon. According to Tamsin Nel, CEO of SA Mass Animal Sterilisation Trust, sterilisation is financially more viable than euthanasia. Her research shows the cost of one female dog being sterilised coming to R431, compared with the cost of one rescued animal being euthanased coming to R572, after 10 days of kennelling. She came to the conclusion that mass euthanasia would be cheaper only in the short-term and only if kennelling is not required.
Bus ticket prices going up Golden Arrow Bus Services will be increasing its passenger fares by an average of 8 percent on Monday (26 December). The adjustment comes after all other options had been exhausted, and is the first increase since December last year. The average 8 percent applies to normal tick-
ets, whilst pensioners will experience a 3,2 percent increase. Passengers using 10-ride clipcards can postpone paying the increased fares until Sunday 8 January and can do this by purchasing the clipcard before the change of price.
Top trail runner at SSISA Trail running phenomenon Ryan Sandes will be the guest speaker at the Sports Science Institute of South Africa (SSISA) and Cape Union Mart’s workshop at SSISA’s conference centre in Newlands on Tuesday 24 January. Sandes will be questioned by Professor

There was also great support from Men Making a Difference, which is one of our development programmes, for assisting us with the hard labour,” she said. Mvandaba added that the organisation was constantly faced with similar situations
when disasters happened and accessing government services does not always come at the needed time. “We therefore ask that companies in the building/construction sector as well as clothing and appliances sectors reach out and assist with donations, or if they can be part of a database when these disasters happen,” she said.

On Monday 17 October the Harley family in Delft lost everything when their home was destroyed by fire. Stranded, stressed and homeless, they approached local organisation Afrika Tikkun, based at the Mandela Peace Park, for help. Afrika Tikkun is an NGO that provides education, health and social services to children, youth and their families through centres of excellence in South African townships. Their aim is to empower communities to develop new generations of productive citizens. The management team listened to their plight and immediately sprang into action to assist the family. After the family was provided with debriefing and trauma counselling by a social worker, they then addressed the need for food security by providing the family with food parcels and daily feeding. Social worker Nolusindiso Mvandaba explained that for the immediate need of clothing, bedding and toiletries, the family was assisted with donations from their reaction unit. “Because Afrika Tikkun’s mission is to provide a holistic approach in addressing psycho-social needs of young people and their families in South African townships, our intervention did not end there. “We visited the home and saw the disaster that the fire had caused. The management team, led by Nasheema Ismail, then approached stakeholders in the community to assist with building material. “We would like to thank Sea Kay Engineering Services Western Cape, who are one of the companies building houses in N2 Gate-

Parents are being warned against buying hookah pipes for their children. This warning comes from dedicated antidrug campaigner in the community Dhakir Christians who feels that parents are sometimes unaware of the dangers of smoking these water pipes also known as oka pipes. “In recent times the smoking of these pipes has become popular among youth, and in many cases parents have been ignoring it because it seemed harmless,” he says. “The popularity of water pipes may be due in part to perceptions that they are safer than cigarettes. However, water pipe smoke contains nicotine, carbon monoxide, carcinogens and greater amounts of tar and heavy metals than cigarette smoke. “Research has found that those young adults who used water pipes were also more likely to use cigarettes, marijuana, illicit
drugs and alcohol. “Experts have warned that smoking these devices for one hour is as harmful as smoking up to 200 cigarettes in the same amount of time.” Christians also pointed out that the passing around of the pipe in a communal environment can also increase chances of spreading illnesses such as tuberculosis. Another alarming fact is that some parents are allowing their young children, sometimes as young as six years to smoke from these pipes. “Parents must be aware that these pipes have the potential to lead to dependence on nicotine, and can cause cancer. “Smoke from a single hookah session contains approximately 36 times the tar, 1,7 times the nicotine, and 8,3 times the carbon monoxide as that produced by one cigarette. “With these facts facing them I just hope that parents are aware,” he said.

Statue stirs emotions The woman in her brass armoured body stands tall and firm, armed with a spade in the one hand and a handbag in another, her steel stiletto heels steadfast on the ground. Nothing can move her. Her name, Society, a metal sculpture created by the skilled hands of artist Greg Birch, created to represent women’s rights. Greg, an artist from Penhill, Kuils River feels strongly about the relevance of educating women on their rights in this the period of 16 Days of Activism against the abuse of women and children. The burning issue of women abuse in society has inspired this artist to use his talents to draw attention to this destructive issue. A relaxed and free-thinking Greg shared his vision in creating this unique sculpture. “It always bugs me how you hear and see
‘Society’ the bronze statue by Greg Birch on display in his garden.
how women are abused. It’s always on my mind, rape, abuse, lesbian discrimination, exploitation of women in the corporate world.” The idea for creating a sculpture to portray a woman was born from these thoughts and Society started out with a bluegum stump Greg found while walking. This local artist who makes about 80 percent of his artworks from recyclable waste items, says Society took a year to complete. “The process takes a long time, a lot of thought goes into it, everything has a meaning.” Greg, a go-green activist explains a bit of the meaning behind the physical features of Society. “Her 8mm high-heels made from rumba wood, is representative of women’s shoe fetish. “The cellphone in her bag is that women have to stay connected, and how they have evolved. “She is even wearing a headset to highlight this connectivity and her ability to multitask. “You can also see our flag which shows that every country has its own issues when it comes to women and women’s rights. “Her iron belt represents how women in the world have to be muscular and tough to make it, the cyberboard on which she stands is to give her speed.” He also added LED lights to indicate the world of advanced electronics that women have to function in in today’s society. “Society also represents half human and half robotic. This is how we are all becoming; we in the fast modern world, unfortunate people who are not connected will slowly wither away over time.” The message he wants people to get with Society’s existence is: “Women make up society and we must respect them and cherish their femininity.” Contact Greg on 083 264 2612.

Holiday programme comes to a party end CHILTON MELLEM

Woman of steel’s meals CHILTON MELLEM
Underprivileged children from Wesbank were treated to a Christmas meal on Saturday by a local Good Samaritan. Magdalena De Bruyn has opened her heart and her door to the children of Wesbank, and this led to a Christmas lunch at the Church of God. Twice a week Magdalena feeds up to 60 children out of her own pocket, giving them a meal which their parents cannot. These children come from homes where their parents abuse drugs and alcohol, neglecting them. Some parents are unemployed and cannot afford to look after their families satisfactorily.
“Someone has to be there to look after them and I decided to do that. Now there is a bond between us.” The idea to feed children came to her three years ago when she saw children on a Friday night just wandering aimlessly in the streets. She then started making vetkoek and bought sweets and chips for the children and started dishing them out. She started a soup kitchen after the children she was feeding grew in numbers. She approached Pick n Pay in Hanover Park and asked if there was any way they could assist her. Since then, she gets food which Pick n Pay cannot sell or is close to its expiry date. She then sorts out the food, cooks it and dishes it out to the children.
Magdalena said she prefers to work with children than adults as she did not have a good childhood and would like to give these children what she did not have. Known as Mamma to some, Sister to others, the most captive name must be that of “The Woman of Steel”. So nicknamed after the pins which are driven into her leg to keep her bones together. This happened after a stray bullet penetrated her leg during a shoot-out on 5 June earlier this year, shattering her bone. This has not slowed her down as she continues to feed the needy with the help of some other children. Anyone who would like to help Magdalena can contact her on 074 245 8800.
A party was held by the department of social development to say thank you to the various participants that made a holiday programme possible for children in Blue Downs. The function ended at the Blue Downs Sports Ground. This programme was held for youth living in Ward 11 and 17. Some of the organisations that participated in making this programme possible were the department of sports and recreation, Enough Is Enough, Kuilsriver Youth Development and Malibu Recreation Forum. During the holiday, children in the area were taken on three excursions; one of them was to
the Macassar Nature Reserve. All together, nine programmes were done over the holiday. According to Jerome Fitz from Enough Is Enough, many topics were discussed to the somewhat 80 children who attended every day. These ranged from basic life skills, HIV/Aids and drug and substance abuse. “We would like to implement respect into kids by giving them affection and motivation. We are trying to give back to the community,” Fitz said. He thanked ward councillors Wilma Brady, Jacob Jacobs and Bertus van Dalen, and Jeremy Lewis from Social development and early childhood development for making the programme available to the children.

CHILTON MELLEM
Megon Fitzgibbon’s dreams of stardom have not crashed and burned after not making Die Son Model Search 2011.
It has instead given her an opportunity for her to branch out and get more media exposure. Megon, 20, from Tuscany Glen entered the competition earlier this year after someone in her church encouraged her to do so. This person bought Die Son regularly and brought Megon an entry form. This was not the first time she had been encouraged to enter the competition. The same person had encouraged her to enter last year too. Last year she felt intimidated to compete against so many other girls in the competition, says Megon, but this year she had a change of heart and mustered the courage to enter. Megon was notified in October that she had made it to the top 20. From this leg of the competition, readers had to SMS and vote for their favourite model. She then progressed to the top 10, fiercely competing with girls all over Cape Town. Since the competition, a quiet Megon has received quite a bit of at- Megon Fitzgibbon who made it to the top ten in Die tention – both good and bad, accord- Son Model Search has lofty dreams of becoming an ing to her.

Vier nuwe jaar met musiek Die Oude Libertas-amfiteater op Stellenbosch vier die einde van 2011 met ’n uitvoering deur die Belgiese konsertorkes, De Kompanje. Die orkes, wat onder die leiding van Joris Degeest staan, is in 1987 as ’n blaasorkes in Brussels gestig. Binne ’n paar jaar het die orkes se gewildheid só toegeneem dat strykers en houtblasers bygevoeg is sodat die orkes vandag uit 55 lede bestaan. De Kompanje is bekend vir die openlike geesdrif van die spelers en die interessante programme wat hulle aanbied. Die orkes het reeds verskeie toere
buite België onderneem, tot so ver as Kanada. Dit is hulle eerste besoek aan Suid-Afrika. Vir die Oude Libertas het hulle spesiaal ’n program saamgestel van musiek wat wissel van goue treffers tot musiek uit blyspele. Die Suid-Afrikaanse sangeres Nadine gaan in verskeie nommers by die orkes aansluit en saam die nuwe jaar insing. Saam gaan hulle die gehoor vermaak met liedere soos “River Deep Mountain High”, “Kaapse Draai”, “Don’t stop me now” en “Auld lang Syne”. Die dansvloer in die voorportaal sal “kook” ure voor die aftel na 2012. Die aand word gevul met musiek deur ’n verskeidenheid kunste-
naars, piekniek en ’n vertoning van “Dinner for one” soos tradisie dit vra. Die uitvoering begin Saterdag 31 Desember om 20:15. Kaartjies wissel tussen R130 en R160. Bespreek by Computicket of 021 809 7473. Vir vier-gang-etes in die restaurant kan Yolandi gekontak word by 021 809 7473. Besprekings is noodsaaklik. . WEN! WEN! WEN! Een TygerBurger-leser kan ’n dubbelkaartjie wen na die Oujaarsaand-optrede en ’n vier-gang-maaltyd vir twee by die Oude Libertasrestaurant op dieselfde aand. Stuur ’n e-pos na theatre@oudelibertas.co.za om in aanmerking te kom.

Calling all charities! Almost R1,5 million rand has been raised for charity with the yearly Want ons Kan/’Cause we Can! concert, taking place for the 10th time next year. TygerBurger is the media sponsor of this popular event where some of the country’s top musicians and vocalists perform free of charge. Some top acts have already confirmed their participation at the 2012 event, taking place on Sunday 29 July at the Bellville Civic Centre. They include Heinz Winkler, Emo Adams and Take Note, Brandon October, Adam, Alan Committie, Zanne Stapelberg and Broers. Charities that have benefited from the fundraising concert over the years include Meals on Wheels in Kraaifontein, Filia School, Badisa, Tehillah, Huis Jabes, Helping Angels and Rock a Bye Baby House. Charities that would like to become part of the event (and thus raise money for their organisation) are invited to apply as a

Safeguard your cash this Xmas “During the festive season, it is a known fact that members of the public are in possession of greater amounts of cash due to annual bonuses,” says Lieutenant Colonel Andrè Traut from the Western Cape Police’s media centre. “Furthermore, savings are withdrawn and ‘stokvel’ (savings clubs) monies are divided among members.” “Be alert when leaving a bank, and ensure that you are not followed by being aware of your surroundings,” he says. People participating in “stokvels” are encouraged to exercise caution when handling large sums, and to make additional security arrangements. At the ATM . Be alert and conscious of your surroundings when using the ATM. . Never give your card or PIN (Personal Identification Number) to anyone, for any reason. . Do not write your PIN on the card or anything that is kept with the card. . Do not insert your card until asked to do so by the ATM display screen. . Never use an ATM with a blank screen and, if the ATM is obscured from view or poorly lit, leave immediately and find another ATM. . Stand close to the ATM and
use your body and hand as a shield to make sure nobody sees you keying in your pin. . Also, make sure you keep your hand over the card slot to make sure nobody can swop or take your card. Never accept help from strangers when using an ATM. . You should be wary of strangers asking for help. Criminals work in teams: one to distract you while the other steals your card or money. . If your card is retained (swallowed) by the ATM it is advisable to phone your bank tollfree stop card line immediately and stop your card. . Never allow a bystander to call the toll-free stop card line on your behalf – they could be tricking you into thinking your card has been stopped. . Guards are placed at ATMs to discourage criminal activities and therefore cannot help you with transactions. . If you need help, ask a bank official. . It is advisable to set a daily ATM withdrawal limit at your branch. Safety in the bank . When withdrawing large amounts make sure that you are escorted by one or two friends. . Do not accept help from strangers, rather ask the bank personnel.

LEWENSKIEKIE
TygerBurger salueer lesers Om mense se stories te vertel. Dít is hoekom die meeste joernaliste in die bedryf is. Om te praat vir dié wat nie altyd ’n stem het nie, om erkenning te gee waar dit verdien word en om die waghond van die gemeenskap te wees. Mense en hul stories is die kern van wat dié beroep elke liewe dag die moeite werd maak. Kerstyd is een van omgee en dankbaarheid, en vandag, met die laaste uitgawe van 2011 op straat, wil TygerBurger se personeel vir sy lesers dankie sê. Dankie dat ons julle stories kan vertel. Dankie dat julle jul harte en huise vir ons oopmaak en met ons deel wát julle raak en hóé dit julle raak. In die jaar wat verby is, het ons die voorreg gehad om te deel in julle lief en leed. Ons voel saam met dié wat bly is, raak hartseer saam met dié wat deur moeilike tye gaan en raak vies saam met dié wat verontreg word. Een ding wat soos ’n paal bo water staan, ongeag die omstandighede, is dat TygerBurger-lesers omgee-harte het. Dít is in die afgelope maand weer bewys. Oral is partytjies gehou vir minderbevoorregtes, pakkies uitgedeel aan dié wat andersins nie ’n Kerspakkie sou ontvang nie en donasies gemaak aan individue en organisasies wat hulle beywer om ander te help. Dit bewys net weer: TygerBurger-lesers se harte klop warm vir ander en dit is ’n voorreg om deel te wees van só ’n gemeenskap. Ons salueer julle.

Understand what ‘need’ really is
Daarom kan Hy ook dié wat deur Hom na God gaan, eens en vir altyd verlos. Hebreërs 7:25
Safety at city’s level crossings still lags According to news reports, MEC Carlisle sees the verdict against Mr Humphreys as “a victor for justice and road safety”. Well it’s all good and well for the MEC to be happy about the verdict. Yes, we should be happy as a country that the NPA starts taking a firmer line against those who kill and maim on the roads and yes, Mr Humphreys was irresponsible. However, I am wondering when MEC Carlisle is going to act on his responsibility and see that the City Of Cape Town closes the level crossings where many other people were either injured or killed. Shortly after the accident on 25 August 2010 all newspapers crucified PRASA/Metrorail, and Lucky Montana in particular, saying that there are not enough warning signs to make motorists stop at these crossing. To my surprise in August this year Mr Carlisle very proudly informed members of the community and the parents of some of the kids present at a memorial service, that they plan on closing eight level crossings including the Buttskop one. In fact he did it on behalf of Mayor De Lille in her absence, as all eight crossings are in the boundaries of the City of Cape Town. What he did not tell people is that they are getting pressure from PRASA as it is their
responsibility to ensure there is enough visible warning signs at these crossings as the roads belong to the City of Cape Town. I am asking myself how many more people are going to get killed, either through their own irresponsibility or that of the irresponsible taxi drivers, before the City of Cape Town and Mr Carlisle are going to act. The City failed these families when they failed to take steps earlier to close the crossing. The plans to close Fredericks Street and redirect traffic could have been done long ago. How come they have the money now? Maybe next time someone gets killed or injured at any of these level crossings Mr Carlisle and the mayor of Cape Town should be sued. Maybe they will start planning better. I don’t even want to talk about the hundreds of commuters who were stranded that day and either got to work or school late or did not get to their destination at all due to that accident of August 25th and many others before that. Mr MEC now is the time for you to do the right thing and try and prevent more such fatal incidents. You also have a responsibility to ensure that we are safe on the roads. WILLIE VAN ROOI Email
Move airshow away from pets, and us I live in the Milnerton area and each year I watch helplessly as my dogs are affected by the airshow. It is not only the weekend of the airshow, but also the days of practise prior to the event that I watch my dogs confused and disorientated by the loud engines of the jets passing over. A dog’s hearing is much more sensitive than that of the human ear. Aside from the obvious safety hazard of
having the airshow in a residential area – all the animals in the surrounding areas take strain. How is this any different from fireworks? Surely someone has the authority to move the airshow outside of residential areas? Or does this person not live nearby enough to suffer the inconvenience? NADENE THABET Email
My response to the letter by Michelle titled “Give to those who need help” in TygerBurger of 14 December: Michelle’s thinking about giving to the neediest only applies to government services. If we see government assistance going to those with some resources while the poor are not helped, then I agree we should protest. But if an individual or private company chooses to give a Christmas wish to a certain person, then we should respect their decision. A gift is not earned nor is it a person’s right to receive. A gift can be given to someone who has much or who has little – that’s the beauty of a gift. There is no means test for giving, and no gift-police to judge its validity. If you apply Michelle’s logic to all giftgiving, then none of us may give to our friends before we have made sure that all the more needy people have been given gifts first. Giving cannot, and never has been, only to those who are worse off. Rather giving is all about the giver wanting to bless someone else. My second response to Michelle is that I know that hearing the words “special needs child” doesn’t explain much. I didn’t understand fully until my own child was born with special needs. I didn’t understand how frightening and overwhelming it can be. Nor how physically tiring it can be with years of interrupted sleep. Nor how emotionally draining it can be when specialists aren’t even sure how to help your child. I didn’t know that therapies were so expensive and are needed every week. I didn’t know how demoralising it is to clean up vomit five times a day or to know that your child has thoughts but cannot express himself. I don’t judge you for not understanding, because parents of children with special needs talk mostly about the triumphs this is how we survive. I encourage you to spend a morning with the child who was the recipient of the gift you wrote about. You’ll leave with a sense of having been part of something intensely difficult, but also something precious, and may even wish that you had some extra rands to give them too. JACQUI Email

Come ‘catch’ their EP at Rock the River LOUISA STEYL
Fresh off the stage at Synergy, Woodstock Mafia are gearing up to take on Rock the River. Not bad for a band that only played their first gig in April this year. The band is made up of Joe Theron on vocals, Nick van Rensburg on guitar, Ryan Matthews on bass and Owen Ingarfield on drums. They have been playing together since January. Ryan describes the band’s music as “post grunge rock ’n roll” with influences from bands such as Foo Fighters and Incubus. When they started playing together, they did so with a goal, one they have already achieved. “Playing Synergy was a goal for the band from the very beginning,” Ryan says. Woodstock Mafia played the LMG stage and despite the heat, the band
enjoyed a good turnout and positive responses. “We worked really hard to get there,” Ryan says, adding that they also brought their own quirks to the stage, like a coolerbox filled with beers that they threw out to the Synergy crowd. “When you have the opportunity to play a festival, people want to remember you for something,” Ryan says. He points out that festivals give the band a lot of exposure in a short space of time. As opposed to Synergy, Ryan says Rock the River will expose Woodstock Mafia to a younger audience. He says the band expected an older audience, but their fastest growing fan base is between the ages of 18 and 25. He believes that for a young band, in terms of playing experience, exposure is extremely important.
Woodstock Mafia – gearing up for big things in 2012. Woodstock Mafia recently recorded their EP, which is available to buy at their gigs, but just like beer, the band likes to throw these out at their shows too. “Come to the gig, you might catch one,” Ryan says. The band hopes to release their
single early next year, before recording a music video. “Doing a single is so important for a band,” Ryan says, adding: “It’s an opportunity to capture an audience before you tour.” Woodstock Mafia is planning to do that in May, when they head to
Johannesburg and Pretoria. Eventually they hope to be up there once every two to three months. Ryan says festivals are also a really good place to build strong working relationships with other bands. “The community is really strong,” he says. “As a band we take our rehearsals very seriously,” Ryan points out. The band practises twice a week. They even got their name from their rehearsal venue, in Woodstock: “Owen chirped Woodstock Mafia” and the name, which refers to a collective of people, stuck. Ryan says each time they get on stage, they give it their all, and they promise that Rock the River will be no different.

Groot name skitter in somerreeks RAYNO SNYMAN
Die room van SA atletiek het Saterdag die laaste byeenkoms in die Geel Bladsye-somerreeks in Parow ondersteun. En dit was veral dié groot name in SA atletiek wat die belangstelling gaande gehad het. Khotso Makoena, VS: 7,92; Chris Harmse, HG: 71,66; Phillipa van der Merwe, 200 m: 24,75; Cindy Stewart, 60 m: 7,52; Engel Roscoe 150 m: 15,59, Sergio Mullins 15,70 en Christne Kalmer, met haar twee oorwinnings (3 000 en 1 000), het die toeskouers nie teleurgestel nie. ’n Hele rits Tygerbergers het die oomblik aangegryp en in die geselskap van die grotes ook hul kant gebring. Hendricks Wesley (TNLC) 200 m: 22,49; Bock Leroy (UWC) 300H: 37,69; Brent Stevens (UWK) en Antonio Alkana (BAK) in die 60 m en Sonja van der Merwe (TNLK), met ’n puik tweekuns (150 m en 300 m), was goed op stryk. Onder die juniors het Gerhard de Beer (AGN, 51,37) en Jan-Louw Kotze (P-Gim, 50,23) hul tweestryd in die diskus voortgesit. Morne Moolman (DFM) SG: 76.96 en Jean-Marie Senekal (Paarl) 300H: 43,05 het gewys hulle is reg vir groot dinge. Tiaan Mouton (BAK) 400 m: 52,29; Aslin Cloete (UWC) 400 m: 52,99; Anneline Gerstner (DFM) GS: 12,15; Jeremia Jelwana (UWC) 200 m: 23,17 en Zani Kruger (BAK) 1000 m: 2:58,55 het uitgeblink.

Softball champs draw to an end LYNN PRINS
Turfhall Stadium was deafening on Saturday when locals flooded to witness an exciting Softball Junior Women’s World Championship (JWWC) final between their favourites, Japan and the US. The US, who were champions of the 2007 Junior Women’s World Championship, had a tough match against Japan, but eventually won when – in the fifth inning – Cheyanne
Tarango hit a grandslam home run over the fence. Our sister newspaper People’s Post was the media partner of the JWWC. Japan kept composure and fought back but only managed to score one run, which led to the US being crowned champions again for the fourth time. It was not easy for the US in the play-offs, since they faced Japan on Friday and lost the game, sending Japan straight to the final. Japan was then the only undefeated team
and the only team to have beaten the US. The champions then had to face Chinese Taipei on Saturday to stand a chance to be in the final, where they successfully beat Chinese Taipei 12-3. Chinese Taipei, who had also faced Australia in the play-offs on Friday, reduced the Aussies to tears when they were defeated 3-2, and in the end hopeful Chinese Taipei came third in the tournament, winning bronze for the second time. The rest of the teams who all made play-offs were Canada,
Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, and China. Apart from experiencing joy and disappointment, players found it difficult saying goodbye as the tournament ended. Many friendships were formed, and Cape Town proved yet again how well they can host an international event. The closing ceremony was done in style, and guests were once again entertained – just as in the opening ceremony. Limited Edition, a group of drummers, showed off their talents to the crowd, to standing ovation. Beng Choo Low, International Softball Federation secretary general, thanked South Africans and the people of Cape Town for their outstanding support. He also praised Noore Nacerodien, head of the local organising committee, along with his team for making the ISF ninth JWWC Under-19 tournament a success. The tournament was also described as one of the best by many coaches, and Nacerodien said that Softball South Africa will be bidding for the 2016 Senior World Championship. He wished the teams a safe journey home.

Castle en Malan blink uit met honderdtalle SAREL BURGER
Durbanville het Saterdag sy segetog in die WP se eerste krieketliga voortgesit deur die Ottoman-klub ’n behoorlike afranseling te gee. Hoewel Jaco Castle geskitter het met sy 106 lopies (terwyl sy medekolwers lelik gefaal het) het Mark de Stadler (4/10) en Brendon Viret (4/23) daarna gesorg dat Ottomans vir net 54 lopies uitgeboender word – 167 lopies
kort van die Durbies se 221/9 in die toegelate 45 boulbeurte. Bellville kan sy sterre dank dat hy oor ’n Dawie Malan in die wedstryd teen Ou Mutual beskik het. Terwyl geeneen van sy spanmaats op dreef kon kom nie, het Malan se 101* die Bellvilliete na 176/7 gevoer – ’n telling wat heeltemal bo die vuurmaakplek van Ou Mutual (144) was. Malan (3/33) het ook met die bal sy slag gewys en saam met Louis Delport (3/28) die tuisspan se uitklophou toe-
gedien. Kuilsrivier (122/6) het Kensington (121) met 4 paaltjies geklop, terwyl Edgemead se wedstryd teen United op versoek van laasgenoemde uitgestel is.
