T
he murder investigation of Lt Col Charl Kinnear has been handed over to the Hawks. Kinnear was a senior detective in the Western Cape’s anti-gang unit. He was gunned down in front of his Bishop Lavis home in Gearing Street on Friday 18 Sep-
tember. Bishop Lavis police spokesperson WO Joseph Swartbooi, confirmed that the case was handed over. “The circumstances surrounding the murder of one of the top cops in the province is under investigation. “At about 15:00, police officers rushed to Gearing Road in Bishop Lavis after receiving a complaint of a shooting incident that just occurred. Upon arrival they found the lifeless body of a 52-year-old man behind
the steering wheel of a vehicle. He sustained multiple gunshot wounds to the body and was declared deceased. Suspects are unknown and yet to be arrested,” said Swartbooi. The Forensics for Justice non-profit organisation, led by forensic investigator Paul O’Sullivan, has issued a R1 million reward for information. O’Sullivan said in a statement: “Foren-
sics for Justice cannot and will not stand idly by whilst the criminal underworld assassinates ethical, hardworking cops at will. Having fought to rid the criminal justice system of the evil of corruption for so many years, we will not let the Western Cape become the province that will take South Africa on a slippery slope to lawlessness.

Dubbele moord weer in Ravensmead gepleeg BRENDEN RUITER @ruitervaniewind
N
og ’n week, nog ’n dubbele moord in Ravensmead. Die polisie ondersoek ’n voorval waarin ’n man (35) en sy dogter (3) verlede week in die Eureka-landgoed in Ravensmead doodgeskiet is. Volgens kapt. Odwa Makupula, polisiewoordvoerder, het die man en sy dogter in ’n motor gesit toe ’n onbekende man op hulle afgestorm en begin skiet het. “Albei is op die toneel dood,” sê Makupula. Hierdie voorval volg op die skietvoorval voorverlede week toe Hillary Adams (45) en ’n minderjarige kind in hul huis in Mildenestraat doodgeskiet is.
FROM PAGE 1 “Charl Kinnear was a decent cop, the sort of cop that forms the back-bone of a good police service. We need cops like him in our country.” O’Sullivan said his killers must be brought to justice. “Not only justice for the trigger-man and getaway driver, but the person or persons that ordered the hit. “There are too many corrupt cops in our
Past. Adam Alexander, ’n plaaslike gemeenskapsleier, sê bende-aktiwiteite in Ravensmead is aan die toeneem. “Ek bespeur al hoe meer wetteloosheid in ons strate. ’n Mens kan dit dalk daaraan toeskryf dat die inperkingstyd huishoudings verarm het en dat hulle nou misdaad pleeg om den brode, maar na my mening is die moorde net weens jaloesie. Strydende bendes gun mekaar niks nie en dit is hoekom hulle mekaar doodskiet. Een ou is al geskiet omdat hy beter Nike-tekkies as die ander een aangehad het,” sê Alexander. Volgens hom is dit ook moeilik om getuies te kry om na vore te kom in ’n gemeenskap soos Ravensmead. “Ons mense is bang vir die bendes en al sien hulle ook ’n moord helder oordag afspeel, sal hulle eerder ander-
country and we must all be vigilant until they are all in prison, along with the mafia that keep them in their obscene lifestyles.” Amanda Davids, deputy chair of the Bishop Lavis Community Policing Forum, said they are shocked as this is the second police murder in the area within a year. In November last year, Bishop Lavis police officer Lt Col Andre Kay was gunned down as he was reversing out of his drive-
pad kyk. Sodra bendes hoor iemand het met die polisie gepraat, is daardie persoon die volgende teiken,” sê Alexander. Hy sê in Magnoliasingel, waar hy woon, het misdaad beduidend afgeneem nadat hulle videokameras aangebring het. “Die skollies wil nie eens meer in ons straat stap nie, want kameras neem hulle af. As ons ’n belegging kan kry, kan ons kameras in die hele Ravensmead installeer,” sê hy. Makupula het ’n beroep op die gemeenskap gedoen om met inligting oor die jongste moorde vorendag te kom. “Mense met inligting kan sers. Orrin Fouche, ondersoekbeampte, by 021 933 9047 of 081 542 4738 bel. Alle inligting sal vertroulik hanteer word,” sê hy.
way (“Cop murder ‘was a hit’ ”, TygerBurger, 20 November 2019). Kay was attached to the provincial firearm, liquor and second hand goods unit. Reports suggest that Kinnear had been receiving death threats for years. His family was placed under police protection at their home as a result. “We want answers because Col Kinnear had a protection letter. Why was this family no longer protected?” asks Davids.

Four people have been arrested in connection with last week’s unrest in Parow in which a car was toppled over onto its side by a group of disgruntled men. The violent unrest occurred metres away from the Parow regional court and local police station in Arnold Wilhelm Street. It is still unclear as to what led to the violent act on Tuesday 15 September around 18:30, but it is alleged on social media that two people who drove the vehicle had abducted a girl earlier. This allegation was, however, denied by the provincial police. “At this stage no kidnapping case had been opened with the police. There was no child in the vehicle,” says Sgt Noloyiso Rwexana, Western Cape police spokesperson. A video of a group of men pelting a car with stones before pushing it onto its side went viral last week. In the footage a voice can also be heard explaining that the driver had been chased by a group of Somalian nationals after a girl had been taken; the driv-
tack. “They ran to the police during the public violence,” says Rwexana. Deon Maneveld, chair of the Parow Community Policing Forum, told the newspaper according to his information a misunderstanding between the two parties led to the altercation. “I believe that due to the swift action of the police, the situation was brought under control and that four individuals had been arrested at the scene,” Maneveld says.

It has been reported that the police’s anti-gang unit responded to the scene. “According to information, a group of about 50 foreign nationals were involved. The group became violent and overturned a vehicle. Police took action to disperse the crowd,” Rwexana says. Four men, aged between 33 and 55 years, who were part of the group, were arrested. Parow police have opened a case of public violence, says Rwexana. She told TygerBurger that the man whose car had been damaged is a Congolese foreign national and that he was with a South African male citizen at the time of the at-

The Delft police last week arrested three suspects who allegedly hijacked a bakkie with a trailer in Thubelitsha. According to police spokesperson Capt John Bartlett, a white Mitsubishi bakkie with a trailer was hijacked in Owen Madikane Street, Thubelitsha on Thursday 17 September at about 12:30 by two unknown males. “On the same day between 13:00 and 13:20 police officers followed up on information and were directed to houses in Delft South where the stolen property was offloaded. On arrival at three houses the officers found sets of double beds which was stolen and also retrieved the bakkie and trailer. The estimated value of the property amounts to R210 000,” says Bartlett. Three suspects, a 22-yearold male, a 54-year-old female and 57-year-old male from Ertjiehout Street, Delft South, was arrested for the possession of stolen property,” says Bartlett.
In another incident on 18 September at approximately 01:15, a 44-year-old man was at home in Inkabave Street, Delft, when there was a knock on his door. “Six unknown males at the door informed the complainant that they are police officials and demanded him to open the door. “The suspects had on police reflector jackets and produced a police stamped form telling him that it was a search warrant. They were armed with firearms and they stole a Panasonic plasma television and two smartphones. While officers of the crime prevention unit were patrolling they saw a white Chevrolet parked in front of the house with a man standing on top of it. Officers received information about the house robbery and arrested two suspects aged 29 and 32 after they were found in possession of the two vehicles, the stolen property, an unlicensed firearm and ammunition.”

US help entstof vir Covid-19 toets N
agenoeg 150 van ’n beoogde 200 vrywilligers het hulle reeds by die Tygerberg-proefterrein geregistreer vir ’n internasionale proefneming vir ’n entstof teen Covid-19. Die Universiteit Stellenbosch (US) se fakulteit Geneeskunde en Gesondheidswetenskappe (FGGW) is deel van ’n groot internasionale navorsingsproefneming, wat een van die belowendste Covid-19entstofkandidate toets wat tans beskikbaar is, volgens dr. Shaun Barnabas, hoof van die Tygerberg-proefterrein. Dié entstof is deur die Universiteit van Oxford in die Verenigde Koninkryk (VK) ontwikkel en word tans op sewe terreine in Suid-Afrika getoets, asook in die VK en Brasilië. Die studie word deur die Bill en Melinda Gates-stigting gefinansier en is in Suid-Afrika onder die leiding van prof. Shabir Madhi van die Universiteit van die Witwatersrand. “Die fakulteit vaar goed met navorsing oor aansteeklike siektes en is daarom gemaklik met voorpunt-entstofstudies,” sê Barnabas, wat aan die FGGW se departement pediatrie en kindergesondheid verbonde is. “Ons sterkpunt is om entstofstudies veilig en vinnig uit te voer. Die infrastruktuur, ons reputasie vir pionierswerk, veral oor MIV en tuberkulose, en die verhoudings wat ons gebou het, stel ons in staat om ook op ander terreine in Suid-Afrika mee te ding.” Hierdie geskiedenis het gelei tot die fakulteit se betrokkenheid by die ewekansige, plasebo-beheerde fase I/II-proef van ’n prominente Covid-19-entstofkandidaat. Die entstof is op ’n sjimpansee-adenovirus gebaseer. “Dít en die feit dat die virus homself nie kan repliseer nie, behoort die veiligheidsprofiel te verhoog.” Sowat 1 000 vrywilligers het reeds die toetsentstof in die VK ontvang en belowende aanvanklike resultate is in The Lancet gepubliseer. In Suid-Afrika sal sowat 2 000 vrywilligers landwyd aan die proefnemings deelneem.
“Dis ’n mengsel van mense en werwing was eenvoudig. Ons soek mense wat die algemene bevolking verteenwoordig, gesond is en nie onderliggende siektes het nie,” sê Barnabas. “Ons werf mense uit die omliggende gemeenskap met die hulp van gemeenskapsadviesrade. “Gesondheidswerkers het ook belangstelling getoon – hulle beskou dit as ’n 50:50-kans om een van die belowendste entstowwe wat tot dusver getoets is, te ontvang.” Deelnemers word vir teenliggaampies gesif en ’n nasale monster word ook geneem. Barnabas verduidelik dat ’n vorige Covid-19-infeksie nie deelnemers uitsluit nie, omdat goeie data nog nie bestaan oor of ’n vorige infeksie werklik beskerming bied nie. “Ons weet nie of natuurlike siekte beskerming bied nie. Die inligting oor teenliggaampies is onduidelik. “Ons weet nie watter vlak van beskerming nodig is nie of hoe spesifiek die teenliggaamtoetse moet wees nie. Ons weet nie of daardie mense dieselfde risiko het as mense wat nog nooit die siekte gehad het, of ’n laer of hoër risiko nie. Hulle is dus geskik vir die studie.” Vrywilligers word ook vir onderliggende siektes getoets – veral hepatitis B, diabetes en MIV – en gevra om ander toestande soos hipertensie of asma te onthul. Die studie behels dat twee dosisse van die toetsentstof per maand uitmekaar toegedien word. Daar word gehoop dat registrasie teen middel Oktober afgehandel sal wees. Immunologie-toetsing sal ná die toediening van die tweede dosis in die VK gedoen word. “Ons behoort in die eerste kwartaal van 2021 van die resultate te hê,” sê Barnabas. “Ek dink ons betrokkenheid by hierdie proefnemings sal ons kanse verbeter om toegang tot ’n suksesvolle entstof te bekom wanneer dit beskikbaar word. “’n Entstof is die beste manier om die pandemie te bowe te kom en die hervatting van ’n normale lewe moontlik te maak,” sê hy.

Partnership to develop teachers P
rivate higher education institution, Stadio Faculty of Education, that has a learner centre situated at Prestige Academy in Bellville, recently announced a partnership with nongovernmental organisation Teach the Nation to develop qualified teachers. The partnership will see prospective student teachers with degrees or diplomas enrolling for a postgraduate certificate in education (PGCE) to fully qualify as classroom teachers. Teach the Nation’s mandate is to develop leaders to help transform inequality within the education system. Following an innovative two-year fellowship, Teach the Nation fellows become a talent pool from which underserviced schools can select to fill teacher vacancies. Professor Patrick Bean, executive dean of Stadio Faculty of Education, says the collaboration with Teach the Nation points towards a larger priority for the tertiary education provider to align themselves with community-orientated partners. “We are committed to developing quality teachers from the community, for the community, which takes place in the community; and we are grateful that we’re able to provide the platform to do so. “With the exceptional work done by Teach the Nation to not only provide quality educators to underprivileged schools, but to also train them to become leaders within the community, we believe we have found a partner who aligns with our vision,” says Bean.
The PGCE qualification was introduced by Stadio Faculty of Education at the beginning of 2020. It is aimed at students with an undergraduate degree or appropriate diploma wishing to develop the knowledge and skills to become fully qualified classroom teachers. The Teach the Nation fellows will be equally split between those who already have a teaching qualification and graduate professionals from diverse academic backgrounds, who want to become involved in social change through education. Recruited fellows will be able to enrol for the PGCE qualification at no cost to themselves, with classes starting in February 2021. Additional skills will be provided through the Teach the Nation leadership development programme. The learning model allows the student to select the mode that best suits their situation. This can include live learning events at a campus or live streamed lectures at remote learning centres. Other modes of learning include live webinars on students’ laptops or smartphones, or recorded material loaded on YouTube. Bean says the flexible hybrid model offers people an opportunity to study towards a teaching qualification without having to undertake an expensive relocation to a city or metro. “At Teach the Nation, we come across a number of talented graduate professionals. For many, this is their way to contribute to the growth of the country,” says David Oliphant, CEO of Teach the Nation. V Visit www.teachthenation.org

New student housing for UWC P
rovincial minister of human settlements, Tertius Simmers, says he is pleased that the student accommodation has broken ground at the Belhar CBD project. “The sod turning marks an important step in the Belhar CBD project,” says Simmers. “From the outset, the aim of this development has been to demonstrate what an integrated, mixed-use development could look like. “This is so, as this development consists of various types of residential units, which includes social housing, Flisp units, subsidised housing units for military veterans, and the student accommodation.” “The sod turning is a critical step, particu-
larly since the development is surrounded by two of Cape Town’s biggest tertiary institutions, namely the University of the Western Cape and the Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT), Bellville campus. There are also smaller colleges within the vicinity of the development. “I’d like to encourage the contractor to ensure that the high standard we’ve already seen in this project is maintained. This project holds various benefits and includes green initiatives, such as heat pumps and window sills, manufactured from recycled material. “In addition, borehole water is utilised for building purposes as well as LED street lamps. Furthermore, the units are installed
with pre-paid electricity and water meters to curb resource wastage. “I’m looking forward to returning to this development at the beginning of 2022 to hand over the first of these student units.” The total development of Belhar CBD consists of more than 3 500 units. The student accommodation component consists of three modern multi-storey buildings, consisting of 2 720 beds, which equates to 684 units. The cost of student accommodation is R540 million.

Assistant recognised as hero Sabelo Handula, a linen stores assistant, is this week’s “Coronavirus Hero Amongst Us” at the Tygerberg Hospital. The campaign seeks to highlight an official’s achievements, abilities or personal qualities during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Sabelo Handula
As a linen stores assistant in the linen management department for seven years, Sabelo’s duties include operating linen machines; the sluice, washing and drying of dirty linen; the sorting of all linen received from external laundries; distributing linen in bags to each ward and assessing linen items according to ward lists.
Sabelo, a Khayelitsha resident, says the pandemic had a minor effect on his work duties. “Covid-19 did not affect my work, because my colleagues and I stuck to the rules and regulations of Covid-19,” he says. These include maintaining their social distance, wearing of their masks and washing of their hands regularly. “I want to thank my colleagues in the linen department for working together in this difficult time,” Sabelo says.

arlier this year the V&A Waterfront, in partnership with the National Treasury’s Jobs Fund, announced the development of Makers Landing, a space that will support job creation and skills development in the local food industry. The core of this project within the reimagined Cape Town Cruise Terminal will be the kitchen incubator space, where local foodpreneurs can innovate, learn and grow their businesses within a local food community. The vision is to champion small business development and facilitate skills sharing between credible food experts and budding entrepreneurs, while using the best of industry knowledge. Makers Landing will also include a kitchen studio and event space, to showcase South African food heritage, as well as a Makers’ Space with market stalls and eateries. The Food Lab incubation programme, in partnership with the Jobs Fund, is now accepting applications. Applicants should have an existing food business that is actively selling or operating and has been in operation for less than three years. The programme will offer opportunities to qualified business start-ups and existing small food businesses that can show they will benefit significantly from affordable access to a licensed commercial kitchen space, and technical assistance and training from experts in food industry techniques and general business operations. The incubator programme will run as
modules of six months at a time, with two sessions a week. It will be a combination of online modules, in-class learning and individual assignments. The content has been developed by Stellenbosch University’s LaunchLab and industry experts with real-life experience. Candidates interested in applying for the programme should have: . A desire to formalise and expand their food business and a plan for how to achieve that growth. . Experience in operating a food business, formally or informally, for at least six-months, but less than three years. . A personal support network. . An entrepreneurial spirit, enthusiasm, and persistence. . A vision for the business. Candidates will be interviewed. Upon graduation the programme will make way for the next group of candidates. Fees have been largely discounted by the Jobs Fund and the V&A Waterfront, but applicants will have to pay a monthly fee to have access to the training, network and facilities, as well as costs to cover regulatory items such as health and safety certification. The programme is also looking for partners to help them provide the candidates with the tools and knowledge they need to create sustainable food businesses. Organisations with relevant expertise, or individuals with a passion for food and social transformation, can apply. V Applications for the first cohort close 23 October.

Airport ready for foreign travelers G
etting ready to receive international travellers when our borders open on 1 October, new thermal screening camera devices at Cape Town International Airport (CTIA) are currently being tested as a contactless way of screening those entering the airport. “The relaxation of restrictions on international travel, and the certainty that borders will open on 1 October, is a welcome relief to the tourism and hospitality industry who have been hard-hit by restrictions,” said provincial finance minister David Maynier during a visit to the airport on Friday 18 September. “This industry is dependent on international travellers who contribute significantly to these sectors in the Western Cape.” Since the recommencement of inter-provincial leisure travel in August 2020, domestic flights to and from Cape Town have seen a considerable increase with the three airlines currently serving the CTIA, Airlink, FlySafair and Mango, providing a combined frequency of 314 domestic flights a week, which is an increase of 74% month-
on-month. CTIA general manager, Deon Cloete, said, “We see an average of 50 flights a day operate from the airport, with Friday being our busiest day. This is significantly stepped up since we first opened our doors in June under alert level 3 conditions where there were only six flights a day.” Maynier said the thermal cameras can potentially assist to track the temperature of high volumes of meeters and greeters walking through the airport terminals. James Vos, mayco member for economic opportunities and asset management at the City of Cape Town, said the City’s tourism task team has devised and is now implementing the Tourism Bounce-Back-strategy to ensure tourism get back on its feet as soon as possible. “Our domestic campaigns will target locals and market Cape Town as a quality and affordable destination.” Cloete added that CTIA has worked hard to ensure that the airport is able to safely facilitate passengers. “We continue to work with the airlines and the industry at large in order to build much needed passenger confidence.”
Shack fire in early morning claims one life One person died in a shack fire in in Wallacedene in the early hours of Monday morning 21 September. Brackenfell’s fire crew responded to reports of informal structures alight in Ntongana Street at 01:00. According to Jermaine Carelse, a
spokesperson for the City’s fire and rescue service, two informal structures were destroyed and a body, gender and age unknown, was discovered among the debris. The scene was handed over to the police for further investigation. – Desirée Rorke

Rare syndrome in kids related to Covid-19 DESIRÉE RORKE @dezzierorke
A
s of last week, multisystem inflammatory syndrome or MIS-C, a condition in children that is linked to Covid-19, is now a notifiable medical condition in South Africa. This syndrome, according to Dr Gerhard de Bruin, a pediatrician at Cape Gate Mediclinic, has internationally been described as relating to the novel coronavirus infection. “This illness is closely related to Kawasaki disease, which is a similar inflammatory condition occurring in the childhood population. Kawasaki disease has been effectively treated for many decades once the diagnosis has been established,” says De
Bruin. To make the diagnosis of coronavirus inflammatory syndrome or MIS-C requires a child to present with a fever lasting in excess of 24 hours, laboratory evidence of inflammation of more than one system, testing positive for the Covid-19 virus or antibodies proving a previous infection. Other symptoms to look out for include abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhoea, neck pain, bloodshot eyes and feeling extra tired. De Bruin says severe illness will require hospitalisation. “This condition is actually quite rare, but the importance of identifying and correctly treating it is underscored by the inclusion in the notifiable register.” He advises that medical care be sought if your child presents with fever lasting longer than 24 hours and a suspicion exists of coro-
navirus infection. He says guidelines have been established to treat this inflammatory syndrome and the majority of children will show full recovery. “MIS-C is a condition where different body parts can become inflamed, including the heart, lungs, kidneys, brain, skin, eyes, or gastrointestinal organs. We do not yet know what causes MIS-C. However, we know that many children with MIS-C had the virus that causes Covid-19, or had been around someone with Covid-19. MIS-C can be serious, even deadly, but most children who were diagnosed with this condition have gotten better with medical care,” said Sinenhlanhla Jimoh, a spokesperson at the NICD, in a statement to the media on Tuesday (15 September). Notifiable medical conditions are
diseases that are of public health importance because they pose significant public health risks. “Although MIS-C is a rare syndrome, there are reports of MIS-C associated with Covid-19 globally, and more recently in South Africa. With the ongoing pandemic, we expect to see more MIS-C cases over the next few months throughout the country.” The healthcare worker responsible for the patient should notify authorities immediately of a probable or confirmed case through the Notifiable Medical Conditions Surveillance System (NMCSS).” A group of pediatricians and other experts have been established to collate and analyse data on MIS-C cases reported through the NMCSS.

Charity locked down How you can help
Afrikaans ook deel van ons erfenis Daar staan dit toe verlede week lewensgroot in die koerant: Minnekoos (werkwoord). In hierdie dae waarin ons ’n fisieke afstand van mekaar moet handhaaf weens allerhande goggas in die lug, sal dit nogal lekker wees om iemand ’n slag te kan minnekoos. Of geminnekoos te word. Dit beteken om liefde te betoon deur aanraking soos streel, vashou of omhels. Dit het my laat dink aan die vele sogenaamde randwoorde in Afrikaans – woorde wat nie deel is van die kernwoordeskat van die taal nie. Vat nou maar woorde soos aapskeloeder, abbakaggel, beenbek of koekskoppie. ’n Mens hoor dit selde, maar dis deel van ons pragtige erfenis, ons Afrikaanse taal. Môre, Erfenisdag (24 September), kan ’n mens jou tereg afvra wat is mý erfenis. Ja, ek weet dis ook Braaidag, wat deel is van die grootste deel van Afrikaanssprekendes se erfenis. Ons pragtige Moedertaal klop dit egter verreweg. Tot vandag toe kon niemand nog vasstel presies hoeveel woorde daar in Afrikaans is nie. Niemand weet nie. Dis eintlik oneindig, want ons kan samestellings van samestellings maak, soos in “katkos”, “katkosfabriek”, “katkosfabriekswerkers” en “katkosfabriekswerkerlone”. Die moontlikhede is legio. Maar, die oulikheid van Afrikaans is dat ons kernwoordeskat, die woorde wat ons elke dag gebruik, uit tussen 5 000 en 10 000 woorde bestaan. Met 2 000 tot 4 000 woorde kan iemand wat Afrikaans as tweede taal aanleer al goed oor die weg kom. As dit jou Moedertaal is, ken en gebruik jy sowat 30 000 woorde. Maar terug na die voorbeelde hierbo genoem: Om te sê iemand is ’n aapskeloeder beteken hy is gemeen. Byvoorbeeld: Jy is ’n regte aapskeloeder om my honde met ’n kettie te skiet! ’n Abbakaggel is ’n skoorsteen wat buite teen die huis se muur gebou is. Beenbek is hoe ’n hoender in sommige streke genoem word en ’n koekskoppie is ’n cake lifter. Nog voorbeelde van randwoorde is “kriewelkop” vir ’n rustelose mens, “kykgraag” vir ’n nuuskierige mens, “muggiesifter” vir iemand wat op ’n kleingeestige manier hare kloof oor iets, “noktifobie”, vrees vir die nag, “pekelsonde”, ’n sonde waarvan ’n mens eers veel later die gevolge ondervind, of waarvoor iemand eers veel later gestraf word. Dit kan ook ’n slegte gewoonte wees. Afrikaans het uit sewentiende-eeuse Nederlands ontstaan, maar het ook talle leenwoorde uit ander tale opgeneem soos Frans, Engels en Maleis. Die Woordenboek der Nederlandsche Taal is blykbaar die grootste woordeboek in die wêreld met 400 000 trefwoorde. Dis oor ’n tydperk van 150 jaar opgeteken. Vandag reken die mense wat weet daar is baie naby aan 500 000 woorde in Afrikaans. Maar dan moet ’n mens natuurlik ook eers ’n definisie gee van wat ’n woord is. Tereg sing Amanda Strydom “Ek kan rock in my taal, ek maak amok in my taal en kan skok in my taal”. Dis wat die “nuwe” Afrikaners vandag doen – van Pofadder tot Perth. Ja, ek kan rock in my taal, die mooiste, mooiste taal, en dís my erfenis. – Werner van Tonder
Vat nou maar woorde soos aapskeloeder, abbakaggel, beenbek of koekskoppie. ’n Mens hoor dit selde, maar dis deel van ons pragtige erfenis, ons Afrikaanse taal.

Be part of the solution not the problem We have had wonderful rains recently. For some people living on the streets it was a real inconvenience because the rain wet their bedding. For those who had shelter, the rain was not such an inconvenience. For some it was a pleasure seeing the rain coming and watering the earth, then flowing into the stormwater system and into the sea. For some, the rain was harvested and used for lasting effect in irrigating, washing or other useful purposes. This is an example of something being part of a problem, not being such a problem, not being a particular solution, and being a distinct part of
the solution. We can also be part of the solution, or part of the problem. There are certain homeless people who come to my door. I remember one, in particular, to whom we gave some tins of food. He was clearly hungry, unlike some who have simply discarded what was given to them. This one went around the corner, sat down, and ate from the tins. Then I saw the following morning when taking a walk, that he had left the tins in the gutter. Suddenly I had become part of the problem because my tins were littering the neighbourhood. Why is it that beggars who constantly receive
Dié boetes is absurd Ek verwys na die berig “Take down sign or face fine” (TygerBurger, 16 September). Ek het nie ’n onderneming nie, maar ek vind die reëling baie onregverdig, heeltemal absurd. Daarin is verwys na ’n onderneming wat al 30 jaar lank sake doen en nou gedreig word. Daar word ook genoem dat die burgemeesterskomiteelid Marian Nieuwoudt sê dat alle gebiede
gemonitor word. Ek wil net weet of daar verskillende reëls vir verskillende gebiede is. Gaan kyk hoe lyk dit in Wallacedene by daardie ondernemings. Ek glo nie dat van daardie ondernemings eens belasting betaal nie, terwyl die ondernemings wat genoem word bydra tot die land en provinsie se ekonomie. Net my opinie. MARIUS NIEMAND E-pos
from the community, from shelters, or from clinics and other services, do not give back to society by cleaning the streets – being part of the solution – rather than littering, or any other adverse behaviour – being part of the problem? I love my country and it grieves me when anyone demonstrates a lack of love for our wonderful land. It is unfortunate that so many people simply litter, or are part of the problem in any other way. Let each of us choose to be part of the solution and not part of the problem. LES POWRIE Email

Opname om sake te red DESIRÉE RORKE @dezzierorke
’n
Program om sake-ondernemings in Kaapstad te red, is verlede week deur die Stad Kaapstad van stapel gestuur en opnames by ondernemings in nywerheidsgebiede in Brackenfell, Bellville en Parow word tans gedoen. “In ’n poging om ondernemings te help om van die impak van inperking te herstel, werk ek onverpoos saam met my amptenare by die Stad se departement ondernemings en investering om te verseker dat plaaslike ondernemings nie sluit nie, maar eerder groei,” sê James Vos, burgemeesterskomiteelid vir ekonomiese geleenthede in die Stad Kaapstad. Die departement volg ’n tweeledige benadering om sake-behoud en -uitbreiding in Kaapstad te help verseker. Die eerste benadering behels opnames by ondernemings in elk van Kaapstad se 26 nywerheidsgebiede. “Dié program is ’n gemeenskapsgeborgde inisiatief en behels ’n plaaslike taakspan van gemeenskapsvrywilligers wat onderhoude by ondernemings gaan voer om onder meer vas te stel wat hul huidige behoeftes, kommer, voorstelle en persepsies is,” verduidelik hy. “Die idee is om na kwessies te kyk wat binne ons (Stad Kaapstad) beheer is, en wat die groei
van ondernemings belemmer. “Die voordele hiervan is dat ons dringende sake in die kort termyn kan identifiseer wat sake in die wiele ry, en waaraan ons dan binne ons mandaat kan aandag skenk.” Die opname sal dan in die langer termyn help om meer sistemiese kwessies te identifiseer wat aandag moet kry. Vos beoog om ná die opname aksieplanne in werking te stel om struikelblokke op te los en geleenthede te identifiseer. Die program sal aanvanklik, en weens personeeltekorte en begrotingsbeperkings, in drie gebiede bekend gestel word. “Ons moet aan die gang kom, al is dit net in drie gebiede; dit is beter as om niks te doen nie, en ons hoop om die program so gou as moontlik in nog baie ander gebiede in werking te stel,” sy hy. Die eerste opnames behoort teen die einde van September afgehandel te wees, waarna die ontleding aan die begin van Oktober gedoen sal word. “Ons verwag om teen die einde van Oktober al aksieplanne opgestel te hê.” “Die getal ondernemings wat ons sal kan help, sal bekend wees sodra ons die opname gedoen, dit ontleed en geïdentifiseer het waarmee die Stad binne sy magte kan help,” sê hy. Die tweede benadering behels die identifisering van en bystand aan sakeondernemings wat tans
Die doelwit van die sakesteunprogram is om ondernemings te help om uitdagings soos afname in winste, verkope of kontantvloei aan te pak. swaarkry. Die doelwit van die sakesteunprogram is om ondernemings te help om uitdagings soos afname in winste, verkope of kontantvloei aan te pak. “Hiermee wil ons help om moontlike likwidasie, sluiting of werksverliese te voorkom.” Dié program, in samewerking met Produktiwiteit SA (PSA), gaan fokus op ondernemings wat swaarkry en sukkel om met hul munisipale diensterekeninge by te bly. “Die departement het reeds ’n lys aangevra van ondernemings wat al langer as drie maande agterstallig is, en sal hulle nooi om aansoek te doen. “Dit is egter nie eksklusief nie
en ander ondernemings kan ook aansoek doen,” sê Vos. Indien die aansoek stawend is, sal die geval aan PSA oorhandig word vir die assessering van die onderneming wat betref finansies en sakebedrywighede. “’n Omvattende sake-ontleding en ’n werkplan sal daarna volg, en indien haalbaar, sal die werkplan met sake-ontwikkelingsagentskappe bespreek word om te sien hoe hulle die regruk van die onderneming kan ondersteun, of anders sal die Stad opsies vir toepaslike betaalreëlings oorweeg,” sê hy.
Sakekamer verheug Phillip van Zijl, bestuurslid van die Tygerberg-sakekamer, sê dis verblydend dat die Stad so ’n inisiatief van stapel stuur. “Die akkurate identifisering van ondernemings wat negatief deur die inperking geraak is, en wat die potensiaal het om te herstel en werksgeleenthede te behou, is noodsaaklik,” sê hy. “Werkskepping is natuurlik nou baie belangrik en dus behoort dit ’n belangrike deel van die strategie te wees om die ondernemings te identifiseer wat die potensiaal het om vinnig en doeltreffend nuwe werksgeleenthede te skep.” Volgens Van Zijl was baie ondernemings reeds onder druk weens ’n swak ekonomie voor die Covid-19-inperking. “Ons verstaan almal wat die im-
pak van die inperking is, maar noudat ons dit die minste kan bekostig, sit ons weer met beurtkrag.” Van Zijl is van mening dat dié strategie ook die impak van onbetroubare elektrisiteitsvoorsiening, wetteloosheid en plundering, soos wat by die Tygerbergrenbaan gebeur het, sal moet takel. “Die betaling of nie-betaling van munisipale rekeninge is een van die gevolge van sukkelende ondernemings. “Water is ’n komponent hiervan, waaroor die eienaars van ondernemings vrae vra,” sê hy. “Die watertariewe het drasties tydens die droogte gestyg. Waarom sak dit nie nou ná ’n goeie reënseisoen nie?” Hy voeg by dat plaaslike ondernemings wat afhanklik is van internasionale toerisme seker dié sektor is wat die hardste getref is en die meeste hulp benodig om te oorleef tot daar weer ’n invloei van buitelandse toeriste is. “Ons het die potensiaal om in Suid-Afrika byna enigiets te vervaardig, maar ons voer ’n magdom goed in. Ons beroep is op verbruikers en ondernemings om plaaslike ondernemings te ondersteun, al betaal jy dalk bietjie meer.” V Ondernemings kan aansoekvorms bekom om aansoek te doen om deel te wees van hierdie program per e-pos na die Stad se sakehub (Business Hub) by business.support@capetown.gov.za.
Rare syndrome in kids related to coronavirus DESIRÉE RORKE @dezzierorke
The Brackengate Hospital of Hope physiotherapist team with some of their patients.
Physiotherapy needed after Covid recovery After receiving hospital treatment for Covid-19, patients need physiotherapy to resume everyday activities. A physiotherapist at Brackengate Hospital of Hope, Helanie Pool, says her team ensures that the right therapy helps these patients to become physically functional again. “Therapy helps patients to be able to get dressed, eat, and wash themselves by the time they go home,” she says. Some patients who’ve had the coronavirus need further care as they may have suffered from severe muscle weakness, joint stiffness and fatigue. We have to address the individual needs and
consequences of the illness that stem from recovery from longterm ventilation, supplemental oxygen requirements resulting in respiratory impairment and immobilisation, along with the consequences of pre-existing conditions and co-morbidities,” says Pool. Physiotherapists have provided a range of services to patients with each session being unique. It includes cardiovascular exercise training, breathing exercises, mobility activities and motion exercise. During September the team planned a fun walk and information sessions. Exercise helps to strengthen patients and benefits of regular
exercise include immune regulation, reducing the risk of illness, reducing breathlessness, increasing muscle strength, improved balance, coordination, and concentration. She adds that they hope to provide patients with knowledge to manage their healthcare needs outside of the hospital. “The overall aim of physiotherapy is to improve physical function and their quality of life.” Brackengate is an inpatient intermediate care facility. Patients are referred from various hospitals within the Cape Metropole. These patients are then referred for physiotherapy by the physicians in charge of their care.

The data will shed light on the true burden of MIS-C in the country, and to inform decisions on the clinical and epidemiological management of this condition.

Blitzboks take stock AVRIL FILLIES Quality family time, catching up on assignments, experiencing the traffic during peak hour and not being able to have contact sessions were all part of the “new normal” for the South African Sevens team, the Blitzboks, in Stellenbosch the past six months. With the country moving to level 1 from Monday 21 September, the squad will slowly but surely be moving back into full competitive mode with all Covid-19 protocols in place. TygerBurger spoke to some of the players at the ceremony when the team received their HSBC Sevens silver medals for finishing second in the World Series after New Zealand, after six tournaments, with four tournaments being cancelled due to the pandemic. “We arrived home from the American leg of the series, were immediately quarantined for 14 days and we all thought it was only going to be for three weeks. To our dismay, the days were extended and the other four tournaments
were cancelled while we were at home,” says Branco du Preez. The team was on a high after winning the inaugural Los Angeles leg of the series, with Du Preez winning the title with less than two minutes to spare. “What I’ve learned the past six months are that you as a human being can adjust to any situation and prioritise what is important to you. In the past you saw very little of your family as you were focussed on the next tournament. In between breaks it was always a ‘hi and goodbye’ when you visit family as you were always on the road,” Du Preez says. Besides training on his own he also handed out food parcels and food to residents in the Kraaifontein area as one of the sporting ambassadors for the Be the Difference Foundation in Kraaifontein. Meanwhile, Ryan Oosthuizen hit the books and finished his assignments for his LLB degree. “What the lockdown taught me was that you must accept things that you cannot change and move on. The cancellation of the last four
tournaments of the (World) Series put a hold on our preparation to try to close the gap on New Zealand and our preparation for the Olympics in Tokyo that was supposed to be held in July. Now we have to refocus on our preparation for next year and not being able to compete competitively in competitions is also a blow. We have to accept this new situation as all the teams on the circuit are in the same situation. Borders of countries are closed and everyone has to put structures and/or programmes in place to tide over the situation,” Oosthuizen says. Chris Dry spent some of his time during the lockdown on a farm and was doing other chores in and around his home. “People passing on due to Covid-19 during the lockdown forced me to take stock of my life and how to keep myself and others safe. With us moving to level 1, I am sure the management will slowly but surely implement contact sessions as I cannot remember what a rugby ball looks like or if I know how to handle the oval ball,” Dry says.
