) Controversial movie in the making

Euthanasia shocker DESIREÉ RORKE

Can the battle against pet overpopulation 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

The public can no longer ignore the plight of the hundreds of thousands of unwanted cats and dogs facing eutha­ nasia each year.

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 Anti-Cruelty 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 “angry” 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.

Christine Kuch, spokesperson of the NSPCA (National Council of SPCAs), slammed Hendricks and the film, saying that this kind of publicity will turn the public to pro-life (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 confine 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 still 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. . To page 2.

‘Sterilisation will be best solution’ . From page 1.

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.

Also, 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.

“Mass sterilisation would be cheaper in the long run as it will prevent the births of up to 474 new dogs or cats over a two-year period, with only a single sterilisation,” she says.

Hendricks invites the public to see the trailer of the film on http://www.indiegogo.com/wilddog, to learn more about it.

“Those who like it and would like to help financially can do so or tell other people about the film,” he urges.

Hendricks, who lives in Gordon’s Bay, won a Silver Dhow award earlier this year at the Zanzibar International Film Festival.

Dié pad van bykans 50 jaar was nie vol van die lewe se gewone struikelblokke nie. Dit was Nellie, wat in Elsiesrivier grootgeword het, se velkleur en haar geslag wat haar telkens teen ’n muur van onreg laat vashardloop het.

Sy bly vandag in Goodwood en gee afrigting in Parow.

Ondanks alles wat teen haar getel het, het Hanshi (“leermeester van leermeesters”) Nellie pas gegradeer tot 8ste Dan wat haar die hoogste gegradeerde vroulike karate-ka in Suid-Afrika maak.

Vir sowat 30 jaar al is afrigting, veral van kinders, haar voltydse werk. Sy het tot twee jaar gelede ook wyd en syd as skeidsregter opgetree en was die eerste swart skeidsregter in karate in Afrika. Nou help sy met die opleiding van skeidsregters in die Westelike Provinsie.

Om tot op dié vlak in karate te vorder, het nie maklik gekom nie. Nellie het in 1965, toe sy 25 jaar oud was, met karate begin. Dit was terwyl sy ’n onderwyser by ’n kloosterskool was.

Sy het by ’n karateskool in die Kaapse middestad begin oefen. Gou is dié skool gedreig dat die regering hulle sou toemaak as kleurlinge langer daar oefen. “Toe oefen die blankes en die kleurlinge maar op verskillende tye,” vertel Nellie, maar uiteindelik moes hulle tog skuif. Nogtans het sy haar eerste swart gordel in 1977 gekry.

Haar velkleur was nie al wat haar vordering gekniehalter het nie. “Eers het die instrukteur ons (die vroue) ‘sagter’ behandel as vir die mans. Ek het vir hom gaan sê dis nonsens. As ons ’n manssport wil doen, moet

ons dieselfde behandeling kry.” Die mans (Wes-Kaapse minister van sport en kulturele wat saam met hulle geoefen het, was nóg ’n sake) my en my man in 2008 as Wes-Kaapse bruggie om te kruis. “Die mans het gedink karate-legendes aangewys het”. Sy het ook ons is ‘softies’. Hulle wou ons seermaak. Ek geen planne om gou haar dojo waar sowat 60 het vir die instrukteur gesê ons het nou ge- kinders les kry, te verlaat nie. “Ek sal aannoeg gehad. Ek het toestemming gevra om hou om karate te gee vir kinders. So lank ek hulle terug seer te maak. Ons karate-styl is nog kan rondruk, speel en spring, sal ek aansemi-kontak. Toe het ons maar net ‘per onge- hou, seker tot ek 90 is!” luk’ hulle in die, jy weet, geskop. Toe stop dit Twee dae oefen sy so vir ’n uur lank karate vinnig.” en een dag doen sy strekoefeninge. “Ek oefen Haar lewensmaat, Johan Roux, het sy in glad nie meer so hard soos voorheen nie. Ek die vroeg sewentigjare ontmoet toe sy by sy moet maar afskaal soos ek ouer word.” Die dojo (oefenlokaal) in Goodwood aangesluit kinders wat onder haar hande ’n totale lehet. Hulle het in 1978 ’n verhouding begin, wensverandering ondergaan, is haar groot iets wat lynreg met die destydse Ontugwet inspirasie om aan te hou. “Hulle kry baie gebots het. Al moes hulle hul verhouding vir selfvertroue, hulle is gedissiplineerd en dit jare geheim hou, is hulle uiteindelik in 2000 strek reg deur hul lewe, en hulle vaar ook getroud en is vandag nog gelukkig byme- goed op ander terreine.

Teen die tyd dat die mure van apartheid geval het, was sy reeds in die skeidsregter-arena en was dit te laat vir nasionale kleure.

Ongeag al hierdie onreg wat haar aangedoen is, is Hanshi Nellie steeds nie bitter nie. “Ek is baie gelukkig. Ek het alles in die sport bereik wat ek wou.”

Sy sê die hoogtepunte in haar lewe, “was om my man te ontmoet, om ’n inspirerende ikoon te Hanshi Nellie Kleinsmidt (regs) verdedig ’n paar jaar gelede met wees vir ander en dat 'n Ushiro Geri ('n skop agtertoe) teen Sensei Ismail Dawood (4de Cameron Dugmore Dan), streeksafrigter van Karate Kyousei in die Wes­Kaap.

Velodrome not available to clubs 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.

Charities invited to apply 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.

Missing: Bishop Lavis Police are requesting the assistance of the public in tracing the 37­ year­old Trudy Geduld from 2 Brent Place, Nooitgedacht, Bishop Lavis. She left home on Saturday 3 December to visit friends in Delft and never returned. Anyone who knows the whereabouts of Geduld can contact the inves­ tigating officers, Sergeant Earl Coetzee and/ or Constable Naj Salie on 021 935 9815 or 079 894 1765 or Crime Stop on 08600 10111.

Tickets 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 tickets, 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.

draising 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 beneficiary.

It will be expected of the chosen charities to sell tickets to the event, which usually is an easy task. To apply, send a letter of motivation containing background on the organisation, what you’re planning to do with the money should you be chosen and how you’re planning to sell tickets, to Hennie van Greunen via email to henniewtf@mweb.co.za.

‘Safeguard your cash’ – SAPS “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.”

Traut warns the public to be vigilant at all times, and to protect their hard-earned money by applying basic security measures.

“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.

The following hints could be useful when making cash withdrawals.

a major concern for all the sport clubs, due to costs involved. Gert voiced his concern over a venue for 200 athletes to do pre-season 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.

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.

Prof. Pieter Els, koördineerder van die kursus en deeltydse dosent by die universiteit, sê die meeste gemeentes besef deesdae “die oes is groot, maar die arbeiders min” (Matt 9:37) en dat die era aangebreek het waarin nie net pastore en predikante nie, maar ook gewone gemeentelede bemagtig moet word om hierdie “oes” te gaan insamel.

Onder die gemeentelede val onder andere selleiers, Bybelstudie-leiers, beraders, kerkraadslede en kategete.

Dit is met hierdie doel voor oë dat die fakulteit teologie (UV) in samewerking met Radio Tygerberg nou al vir sewe jaar ’n bekostigbare sertifikaatkursus in teologie en bediening aanbied. Die kursus beloop R500 per semester.

Lidmate kan selfs verder bemagtig word deur ’n addisionele Hebreeuse Bybelkursus, wat gelowiges in staat stel om die Ou Testament in die oorspronklike grondtaal te kan lees.

Talle studente het al met groot sukses en seën vir hulle gemeentes hierdie kursusse deurloop.

Die verskillende kursusmodules word aangebied deur akademies goedgekwalifiseerde dosente met baie jare doseer-ervaring by universiteite en Bybelskole.

Hulle is proff. Daan Cloete (NT), Pieter Els (OT en Hebreeus), Phil Robinson (Christelike leierskap, missiologie en sistematiese teologie), dr. Andries Cilliers (praktiese teologie), ds. Andrew Esterhuizen, ds. Marius van Schalkwyk (jeugwerk) dr. Adelbert Scholtz (praktiese teologie, pastorale sorg en berading, ens.) en dr. Francois Swart (kerkgeskiedenis, beginsels van kerkregering, ampte in die kerk, ens.).

Die personeel van die teologiese fakulteit van die Universiteit van die Vrystaat wat hierdie kursusmateriaal opgestel het, is ook ervare en gerespekteerde dosente. Lesings sal weekliks aangebied word in die kerksaal van die Bellville-Wes-gemeente, Agtstelaan, Boston, Bellville, op Donderdagaande tussen 19:00 en 21:00.

Van studente word verwag om gereeld hierdie lesings by te woon, want toetse sal ook van tyd tot tyd geskryf word om akademiese slaagsyfers te behaal.

Die studie-notas is op die oomblik nog in Engels, maar die aanbieders is in die proses om dit in Afrikaans beskikbaar te stel.

Benewens die bogenoemde teologiese kursus word daar ook ’n afsonderlike eenjaarkursus Dinsdagoggende, tussen 08:30 en 10:15, in Bybelse Hebreeus aangebied deur prof. Pieter Els by die bogenoemde kerksaal op Dinsdagoggende.

Dieselfde kursus word ook saans in Durbanville aangebied.

Dié kursus is gebaseer op ’n gebruikersvriendelike grammatikaboek en van die begin af word Bybeltekste in Hebreeus bestudeer. Studente word in staat gestel om in ongeveer 18 maande se tyd die Ou Testament te kan lees en te verstaan met behulp van woordeboeke en kommentare.

Kostes hiervan is ook baie billik – slegs R80 per twee-uurlesingsessie elke week.

PenBev gives kids an early Christmas A local cold-drink company brought some early Christmas cheer to a children’s shelter this month.

The sound of wrapping paper tearing, excited chatter and giggles of youngsters filled the corridors of Tehillah House in Elsies River on Saturday 10 December when staff of the Peninsula Beverage Company (PenBev) and members of a local church visited the facility with gifts for the children.

Tehillah not only provides a safe haven for these children but is also a rehabilitation centre for the parents and people from the Elsies River and Ravensmead areas who are addicted to drugs.

The majority of these children have been traumatised by domestic violence and have had to deal with incredible challenges in their young lives.

Chief executive officer of the facility, Sister Magda Kleyn, who has spearheaded the initiative for 16 years said that it was heart-warming to see the children’s smiles and to know that sponsors such as PenBev and the Cape Town Church of Christ, spared a thought for the children this season, so that each child could receive a toy.

“Without the generous support of all our sponsors we would not have been able to do the work we do in the community,” she says.

“When we started Tehillah the building was just a shell, but through a lot of hard work and support from corporate organisations that opened their hearts to us, we have been able to build and grow Tehillah to what it is today.

“I come from Elsies River and it is incredibly important for me to invest back into the community. People need to know that they have choices and are able to get out of their

situations and to prosper even if they are living in an impoverished area or shelter.”

When it comes to Tehillah’s drug rehabilitation programme, James Louw, Deputy CEO of Tehillah House explained that unlike other institutions, they don’t separate the children from the parents.

“During the day when the parents undergo treatment, they are also taught parenting skills, and at night they are reunited with their children.

“We act as a watchdog, looking after the children and making sure that the parents take responsibility for them as part of their rehabilitation.

“Not only do we provide support for drug rehabilitation, we also provide permanent residence for women, children, men and the elderly who are either homeless or abused.

‘We also provide healthcare for the frail and provide food for 600 to 800 impoverished people in the area daily.”

Stuart McLeod, managing director of Peninsula Beverage Company said: “We are delighted to be part of this initiative and to see the joy on the children’s faces as they opened their presents. We challenge more corporate organisations to get involved in this incredibly worthy cause.”

Kleyn concluded by adding that they have their sights set on duplicating the Tehillah House model in every province within the next six years.

“So far we have established centres in Johannesburg as well as the Northern Cape.”

For more information about Tehillah Community Centre visit www.tehillah.za.org or for more information on the projects that PenBev are involved with, please visit www.penbev.co.za.

Children at Tehillah House celebrate their early presents from PenBev.

Calypso Cricket fun in the sun Batters and bowlers were doing their thing on the beaches of Cape Town last week as Calypso Cricket celebrated their 21st birthday.

With schools out and summer here, cricket was topping the recreational agenda for over 3 000 children from different communities, who took part in the 21st annual Sporting Chance Calypso Cricket Festival, held on the Cape’s local beaches.

This year, there was even more cause for celebration, as the festival that gives a summer splash to cricket, came of age, Now in its 21st year, the festival ran every day from Monday 12 December until Friday 16 December on Sunrise Beach near Muizenberg, Main Beach at The Strand and on Long Beach in Kommetjie.

Borne from a desire to introduce large numbers of kids to cricket and bring together the various communities and cultures of South Africa, The Sporting Chance Calypso Cricket Festival was started by Brad Bing of youth sports develop-

ment agency Sporting Chance in 1990.

The festival, in association with Virgin Active, I&J and Supersport Let’s Play, is an annual highlight for thousands of children who are bused in to the beach, from various communities in the Western Cape including Elsies River, Belhar, Langa, Manenberg and Ocean View, to pit their cricketing skills against one another.

Aside from a trip to the beach for many children who would otherwise not have this kind of opportunity, the festival highlights Sporting Chance’s determination to encourage sport as a fixture in all children’s lives, irrespective of race, gender or social class and to create an uplifting environment to bring together various communities.

“It is a fantastic achievement that Calypso Cricket is turning 21,” says Bing.

“It means that we have exposed an entire generation of youngsters to the sport of cricket and the benefits of team work, as well as giving them a reward at the end of the aca-

demic year.

“Every year we introduce new groups of children to the programme and their participation and excitement is gratifying as Calypso Cricket continues to be a highlight in their lives.”

Dr Ivan Meyer, Minister of Cultural Affairs and Sport in the Western Cape agreed and said: “Organisations like Sporting Chance are vital for the success of youth sport development.

“A government has limited funding and stretches this as far as possible, but together with private enterprise and NGOs we can do so much more.

“Calypso Cricket has surely become an annual highlight for so many of the Western Cape’s sporting youth, and I look forward to seeing them in action!”

Over the past 21 years the festival has also been recognised as a vehicle for identifying young sporting talent, for fostering a love of cricket and sport in general and as an opportunity to provide a large number of children with a fun-filled holiday activity.

Shinay Rhodes, from Elsies River (front) and Nomdone Gidi, from Khayelitsha, enjoy being part of the action at the Calypso Cricket Festival that was held in Muizenberg.

AND NOW IT’S PLAYTIME

School holiday programmes were in full swing last week with many community centres hosting programmes for children. At Kalksteenfontein Community Hall, there was more than fun and games as the children were also given fun ways to stay clean and healthy. Here they are taken through a fun game to teach them the importance of washing their hands. Photos: Gary van Dyk

These girls had lots of fun playing a giant game of snakes and ladders at Florida Park.

The Ravensmead Sport and Recreation organisation hosted a fun sports and activity day at Florida Park on Friday, 16 December to celebrate the holiday. Keeping a watchful eye on the youngsters enjoying themselves on the waterslide are, standing from left, Ernest Sonnenberg (councillor for Ward 10), Thelma Vries, Ruan Beneke (PR councillor for Ward 10), Mary Scholtz and Basil Lehman.

TutuDesks welcomed Learning will be a little easier for children at Protea Primary in Bonteheuwel next year, with an innovative donation to the school.

The school recently celebrated when they received a generous donation of 200 TutuDesks from Grant Thornton International.

With over 90 million children in Africa without a writing surface at schools and over 400 million children worldwide, the TutuDesk Campaign aims to provide disadvantaged schools with instant infrastructure provision for children, in the form of flat structures to rest on scholars’ laps.

The TutuDesks also provide a far greater reach in a shorter time for funds invested by donors. Without a writing surface, students will be compromised at their places of learning.

The 200 desks donated to the school forms part of Grant Thornton’s focus of promoting education within underprivileged areas.

Funds were raised at Grant Thornton International’s 2010 conference which was attended by over 500 partners and staff from around the world, who all donated generously to the CSI element of the proceedings.

The company is the fifth largest audit firm in South Africa by fee income.

In the next five years, the campaign will endeavour to provide a further 20 million desks to significantly improve learning conditions for children in Africa.

The 200 desks were handed over to the staff and pupils of the school just before the holidays.

Neil Miller, joint managing partner of Grant Thornton Cape said: “We at Grant Thornton believe that the upliftment of communities starts with education. We are committed to showing our unyielding support in promoting education within underprivileged communities.”

Miller concluded the handover by adding that the company has more donations in the pipeline, which further substantiates its commitment to supporting education in underprivileged areas on an ongoing basis.

The Protea Primary School’s staff were exceptionally grateful to receive such indispensable teaching tools and said that this donation would encourage the school’s pupils to do their school work in the classroom as well as at home.

Learners from Protea Primary School in Bonteheuwel are overjoyed as they try out the new desks.

Standing from left are, Larry Auret, Belinda Clarke, Marian Smuts and Neil Miller from Grant Thornton Cape who handed over the 200 TutuDesks to the staff and scholars of Protea Primary School.

Eskom comes to the rescue The Department of Social and Economic Development of Eskom donated a sum of R659 664 to the Sunflower Fund, towards education and awareness of blood disorders such as leukaemia.

The Sunflower Fund is in dire need of funds in order to educate and recruit a viable source of well-informed bone marrow stem cell donors, who are ethnically diverse, in an effort to save lives of patients who are in need of transplants when suffering from life-threatening blood disorders like leukaemia.

Top trail runner at SSISA Mede­prof:

Dr. Brandon van der Ventel, ’n seun van Belhar en senior dosent in fisika aan die Universiteit van Stellenbosch, is onlangs tot mede­professor bevorder. Hy is ’n oud­leerling van die Primêre Skool Erica en die Hoërskool Belhar. Hy staan hier by sy trotse ouers, dr.

Izak en Elize van der Ventel, en sy suster, Michelle. Brandon wil graag ’n rolmodel en inspirasie vir alle leerlinge in sy gemeente wees, veral op wetenskaplike gebied.

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.

The Sunflower Fund is a Section 21 company, established in 1999 in support of the SA Bone Marrow Registry.

Their board comprises professional members with technical experience, human resources, legal services and also healthcare professionals.

“This donation will definitely highlight Eskom as a committed and respected roleplayer in the community,” said Thandi Nkonzo, social and economic development manager, speaking at the handover ceremony.

Sandes will be questioned by Professor Tim Noakes and Runner’s World magazine editor Mike Finch.

Registration is at 17:45 for an 18:00 start and entrance costs R40, which includes light refreshments and a cash bar.

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.

Mooi trap, ou grote!

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

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 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.

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.

Verskoning gevra vir verkeerde woorde Hiermee wil ek graag verskoning maak vir die beriggie wat vroeër geplaas is in verband met mnr. Peter Charles (“Erediens vir Peter Charles”, TygerBurger 23 November).

Ons wou graag ’n funksie gehou het om mnr. Charles te eer, en nie om ’n erediens te hou nie. Ek het die verkeerde woorde gebruik om te sê dat ’n erediens gehou gaan

word.

Die gemeenskap het toe die familie gebel om uit te vind of hy (Charles) oorlede is, en dit is nie die geval nie.

Ek is jammer vir die ongerief aan die familie.

In dieselfde asem wil ek graag ’n beroep doen op die gemeenskap om tog net die men-

se wat betrokke was by die gemeenskap en in jare aanstap, te onthou en hulle te eer.

Hierdie man (Charles) het sy lewe aan die jong mense van Kalksteenfontein gegee en noudat hy oud is, het baie van die gemeenskap van hom vergeet.

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.

Modern classic: Artscape Opera House will be hosting An­ drew Lloyd Webber’s The Phantom of the Opera from Sunday 15 January until Sunday 25 March. Having played to more than 100 million people in 149 cities around the world, this full­ scale pro­ duction with original direction by Harold Prince is arguably the most popular musical of all time and this year celebrates its 25th anniversary. The cast will be led by Jonathan Roxmouth (Phan­ tom), who will be standing in for Andre Schwartz who has vocal strain. Performances will be on Tuesdays to Fridays at 20:00, Saturdays at 15:00 and 20:00 and on Sundays at 13:30 and 18:30. Tickets cost from R125 and can be booked through Com­ puticket or The Artscape Opera House on 021 421 7695.

Wannabe gets dirty speaking, taking the trophy for best speaker and begins to dream that the headgirl blazer is already on her back when disaster strikes.

Catastrophes follow, and when she becomes convinced that her best friend Melissa is sabotaging her efforts, Nadia decides to fight fire with fire. Off come the gloves as the previously positive and kind Nadia becomes a self-centred mean girl to whom no trick is off limits.

The movie stars Karen Wessels, Lida Botha and Marie Pentz.

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 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

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 American women’s softball team celebrate after their victory over Japan.

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 all the participating teams a safe journey home.
