VALHALLA PARK: ANC VOLUNTEER GUNNED DOWN IN FRONT OF CHILD (10)

Killer still on the run TARRYN-LEIGH SOLOMONS @tarryns07

A

manhunt has been launched for the suspect involved in the murder of ANC volunteer, Cynthia Stulo, who was gunned down in front of her child in Valhalla Park.

Stulo (46) was gunned down while walking her 10-year-old daughter to school on Wednesday 24 July.

Provincial ANC spokesperson Dennis Cruywagen says the party is deeply saddened by the senseless killing.

“It’s tragic that respect for life seems to be disappearing.”

ANC councillor and one who worked closely with Stulo, Rhoda Bazier, described the murder as a tragic loss, not only for the community, but for her child especially. “Imagine a child seeing their mother being killed.

How do they live their life? A mother is the

backbone of her family. Every child needs their mother,” she says.

Bazier says she’s been working with Stulo for about 15 years. “She was very active in Valhalla Park and spoke of what is right and wrong. I’d describe her as someone who stood for righteousness. From the party’s side, we sympathise tremendously with her family, especially her daughter.”

MEC of community safety, Albert Fritz, has condemned persistent gang-related vio-

FROM PAGE 1 “We are witnessing an attempted fightback from gangs on the Cape Flats. I want gangsters to know that they will not win.

“The time for terrorising communities has come to an end. I call on the South African Police Service’s intelligence and detective services to urgently identify and arrest the gang leaders who gave the orders to shoot. Both intelligence and detective services need to work together to ensure convictions of gang bosses, not just hitmen. I reiterate the City of Cape Town’s call for police to visit the state-of-the-art Transport Management Centre to improve intelligence gathering and sharing.”

“I further call upon communities to work with their local police and law enforcement to provide information leading to the successful detection, arrest and conviction of these criminals and gangsters.”

he annual Compassion Convention where children could be children was a huge success.

About 65 children, 25 leaders and 50 volunteers or day visitors attended camp from Monday 15 to Thursday 19 July in Melkbosstrand. It was organised by HewLin Compassion, a non-governmental organisation (NGO).

Kraaifontein resident and founder of HewLin Compassion, Hewitt de Jager, says this year they were able to accommodate more children from different areas including Bellville, Parow, Leonsdale, Elsies River, Kuils River, Athlone and Steenberg.

“Some of these children previously lived on the street while others dropped out

of school and are living in extremely poor conditions,” says De Jager.

A combined effort from provincial government, NPOs, faith-based institutions, corporate industries, families, friends and individuals came together to make the camp possible for the children. They are also working towards alleviating the impoverished circumstances some are facing.

De Jager says the children enjoyed various activities, which included arts and crafts. He says representatives from the provincial health department were also present at the camp and spoke to the children about health-related issues and personal hygiene.

“The children also learned about the issues in their communities and challenges they face, including gangsterism and drugs.”

According to De Jager, because the children might not have the best concentration span, the activities were structured in such a way that it had both theoretical and practical aspects. “The children were very hands-on and received the activities well.”

De Jager says this year’s theme “Let children be children” was an extension of last year’s theme. However, this year, the leaders were more focused on the values of the organisation.

“Everything was structured around these values and the leaders also attended workshops.”

He says it is still early days to see what impact the camp had on the children but the main aim is to get children back home and in school again. De Jager says they will have follow-up sessions next month to see how the children are doing.

GrandWest creating smiles in communities During this year’s #16DaysforYouth, an initiative created by Heart FM to help youth from the Western Cape and GrandWest supported local projects that aid local children. The projects GrandWest supported included donating sport kits to the Ysterplaat Primary School in Brooklyn, dance shoes to the Angelos After School Dance programme in Ysterplaat, donating boxes of non-perishable foods, educational toys and Grade R tables and chairs to the Ethembeni Educare in Khayelitsha and donating non-perishable foods, educational toys and a much-needed industrial gas stove and a double door fridge to Robin Hood Educare in Riverton, Elsies River. “We are so proud to be able to get involved in Heart FM’s #16DaysforYouth initiative,” says Genevieve Smith, sustainability manager at GrandWest. “We all know that our youth are our future and are delighted to help organisations like these that nurture and care for the children in our communities.”

Pictured is Mervyn Naidoo (divisional director of Sun International) with Angelo’s After School Dance students.

GrandWest chefs feed the hungry T

he GrandWest Chefs that Care goes out into the community every month to provide hungry children and adults with a delicious, healthy meal.

GrandWest’s food and beverage team started Chefs that Care in an attempt to use their skills and passion to positively impact the lives of those less fortunate in surrounding communities.

Genevieve Smith, sustainability manager at GrandWest, says, “Unemployment is rife in many Cape communities. Many families are really suffering, especially with the cost of food skyrocketing. The reality is that lots of people do not even have one balanced meal a day. Sadly the most affected are usually children and the elderly whose quality of life and health are severely compromised when their nutritional needs are not met.

“The GrandWest chefs can make a difference to people in need thanks to their knowledge of food preparation and nutrition. With the support of GrandWest and concerned sponsors, we have been in a position to prepare and share over 3 500 meals every year,” says Smith.

GrandWest’s executive chef Wynand Schoeman, says, “The look of gratitude on the faces of the children and adults is all the inspiration we need. Alleviating hunger is something that will always be close to our hearts and we feel privileged to be able to continue with this programme to feed the hungry in our communities every month.

“We’d like to say a big thank you to all of our volunteers who make it happen and a special word of appreciation to our sponsors.

On 13 June, Chefs that Care went to Robin Hood Daycare Centre in Elsies River, serving Chicken à la King pasta, and jelly and custard dessert to 100 children and 50 adults.

The team went to Valhalla Park Football Club on 15 June, where 600 children and 50 adults received mince pasta bolognese and mousse for dessert.

“We are very proud of our Chefs that Care team,” says Smith. “These dedicated chefs and staff go out monthly to provide tasty meals to the community. It is wonderful to serve the community at such a grassroots level,” she says.

Cash-in-transit heist suspect appears in court

T

he cash-in-transit driver, who allegedly orchestrated a heist which occurred in Epping, appeared in the Goodwood Magistrate’s Court on Monday 29 July.

Zuko Nonkumbana (32) was arrested by the Hawks’ National Bureau for Illegal Firearms Control and Priority Violent Crime Unit on Friday 26 July.

Hawks spokesperson Captain Philano Nkwalase says: “Hawks investigation has linked the suspect to a cash-in-transit heist that occurred at Bayside Food Centre in Epping on Thursday 25 July.

“The security crew collected cash at the centre and on their return to the armoured

vehicle, it was missing.

“The vehicle was later recovered at Noxolo Street in Langa.

“The driver was unharmed whilst an undisclosed amount of cash and his firearm were taken. The driver recounted that he was approached by three suspects who threatened him with explosives.

“They allegedly disarmed him before instructing him to drive to a location where they offloaded an undisclosed amount of money before they fled the scene,” says Nwalase.

Nonkumbana’s case was postponed to Wednesday 28 August for a bail application.

Pony turns 21: A pony named Moonlight from Bonteheuwel is turning 21 years old.

Currently owned by Jasmine (Miena) Kassiem, he has had the same cart driver, Michael van Nelson, better known as Attie, for the last 10 years. Moonlight has quite the sense of humour and he has even been known to leave Attie where he was picking up vegetables and to go home on his own, waiting patiently in front of the house to be let in. He responds to voice commands from Attie even if he is not on the cart and he is trusted to go around the block with his owner, Jasmine’s four-year-old grandson. He stops on his own at a red light and moves on when it turns green. Here Moonlight is pictured with Michael van Nelson.

Warm gifts donated to honour Madiba: Stellenbosch University’s Occupational Therapy (OT) department celebrated Mandela Day this year by collecting over 500 hand-knitted and crocheted jerseys, blankets, beanies and boots for premature and newborn babies which will be distributed to families in need at Tygerberg Hospital, Harry Surtie Hospital in Upington and the Bishop Lavis Rehabiliation Centre. The annual Mandela Day initiative is coordinated by OT lecturer, Arifa Sheik Ismail (pictured), and second-year students. Garments are made with love by students, parents, clinical educators and staff members. The project has grown year by year, the campus say. Continued contribution of wool and knitted items are welcome. Call the campus on 021 938 9305.

UITNODIGING OM DEEL TE NEEM AAN VERKIESING VAN PROJEKBEHEERKOMITEE (PSC) Die Stad Kaapstad se burgemeestersprogram vir stedelike herlewing (MURP) nooi alle gemeenskapsorganisasies van Bonteheuwel om deel te neem aan die proses om die nuwe Bonteheuwel-projekbeheerkomitee (PSC) te verkies. Die huidige projekbeheerkomitee se tweejaartermyn het in Maart 2019 ten einde geloop en daar moet ’n nuwe projekbeheerkomitee vir die volgende tweejaartermyn verkies word.

The cash-in-transit vehicle was recovered in Noxolo Street in Langa.

Mopping up continues The disaster operations centre logged at least 43 flooding-related incidents; 122 power outages across; nine incidents of trees that had blown over or fallen branches and two incidents where roofs were blown across the metropole.

The Disaster Risk Management Centre is coordinating the City of Cape Town’s response to incidents reported. The numbers of reported incidents during the previous cold front are as follows: . 3640 structures affected in areas such as Khayelitsha, Burundi, Nomzamo and Wallacedene. . fallen trees were reported in Parow, Edgemead, Crawford, Panorama, Durbanville and Brackenfell. . roads flooded across the city – most notably in Wallacedene, as well as Pelican Park, Ottery and Diep River. . power outages in Bonteheuwel, Observatory, Noordhoek, Joe Slovo Park, Athlone, Wynberg, Gugulethu, Nyanga, Sunnydale, Rondebosch, Philippi, Mitchell’s Plain, Hout Bay and Plumstead.

“This situation will change as repair

teams make their way through the list of reported incidents. We ask that residents please bear with us, as assessments have to be completed for purposes of record before assistance like flood kits can be provided.

They did make emergency shelters available to the affected communities; however, these offers have not been accepted,” says Mayco member for safety and security, JP Smith.

Following the Winter Task Team’s meeting last week, blockages in the stormwater system emerged as one of the biggest concerns. These blockages are the result of illegal dumping, but also people storing items in the drains.

“Another concern raised is the quality of the information provided when members of the public log service requests or alert us to emergencies. This has the potential to slow down response times or results in the incorrect agency responding.

“My appeal to the public when reporting any incidents during heavy weather episodes, but also just in general, is to give as much information as possible.”

Die PSC is ’n verteenwoordigende gemeenskapstruktuur wat uit alle sektore in die gebied saamgestel word. Die komitee speel ’n belangrike rol in gemeenskapsdeelname aan die MURP-projek deur: • • •

As ’n kommunikasieplatform tussen die Stad Kaapstad en die gemeenskap ten opsigte van ontwikkelingsgerigte MURP-projekte te dien ‘n Onmiddellike skakel te wees met die gemeenskap ten opsigte van MURP-projekte en bystand te verleen om struikelblokke wat die projek negatief raak, uit die weg te ruim Toe te sien dat alle belanghebbendes na gereelde gesprekke en inligtingsvergaderings tussen MURP en die gemeenskap genooi word

Organisasies wat aan die verkiesing van ’n PSC wil deelneem, moet aktief en ten volle funksioneel in Bonteheuwel wees en op die subraad se databasis geregistreer wees.

Ongeregistreerde organisasies wat aan die proses wil deelneem, moet voor 9 Augustus 2019 by die subraadskantoor registreer.

Verifiëring van belanghebbendes word op Saterdag 24 Augustus 2019 van 09:00 tot 11:30 by die Bonteheuwel-stadsaal gedoen.

Police officers commended: The management of Bishop Lavis Police Station honoured their officers by awarding them with certificates. Brigadier Christopher Jones encouraged the recipients to ensure that their colleagues follow in their footsteps. “It is important that as a police officer, the employee fulfil his duties in line with his or her mandate, still being an example to the community they love so much. It is important that the community should trust police officers, knowing that they are safe,” said Jones. He added that the initiative intends to make all officers feel they are appreciated for their efforts.

Warm kos aan haweloses gegee K

oue en triestige weer het die Kaap verlede week getref en Thanya Lewis, die klantediensbestuurder van Pick n Pay in die Tygervallei-winkelsentrum, het sop en broodjies by The Haven in Bellville uitgedeel.

“Ons is nie almal bevoorreg om ’n dak oor ons kop of kos in ons huise te hê nie en die haweloses is van die mees kwesbaarste mense in ons gemeenskap.

“Ek het besluit om iets warms te gaan uitdeel om te help om die koue te verdryf en ook om van die haweloses se ander behoeftes te hoor,” het Lewis gesê.

Oud en jonk het voor die skuiling in rye gestaan om die sop en broodjie te ontvang.

Volgens haar is dit maar ’n druppel aan die emmer, maar ten minste was dit ’n goeie daad van haar en Pick n Pay se kant.

“Ons vier vanjaar ons 52ste verjaardag en talle klante het al pryse gewen.

“Die sop en broodjie is net my bydrae om iemand anders gelukkig te maak,” het sy gesê. ’n Koue front het Maandag 29 Julie weer die Kaap getref en die haweloses sal weer aan die kortste ent trek.

Annelie Venter is standing by her painting The Farmer and his Wife (oil on canvas) that is currently at the exhibition at the Bellville Library Centre.

Art of Vuleka’s best exhibited

Thanya Lewis, klantediensbestuurder van Pick n Pay in Tygervallei-sentrum deel sop en brood uit aan inwoners van die Elim-nagskuiling in Elsiesrivier.

Art of finalists of the Vuleka Art competition is currently exhibited at the Art.B Galery at the Bellville Library Centre.

The annual Vuleka Art competition was established by the Arts Association of Bellville way back in 1963. Vuleka means Open in isiXhosa.

It is the oldest continuous competition in South Africa and works indicating an original concept, strong individual expression and excellent technical execution are considered for the exhibition.

Annelie Venter won for her oil painting on

canvas The farmer and his wife.

Second place went to Fanie Marais for his work Notre Dame brand (mixed media).

Third prize went to Christel Liebenberg and Elske Henderson for Humachine (mixed media and new media).

Fourth prize was shared by Victor Harley for his Observe (mixed media, pen, pastel) and Millie Wilson for her Fearless beauty (oil on canvas). The exhibition at the library in Carel van Aswegen Street in Bellville started on Wednesday 24 July and closes on Tuesday 13 August.

Mopping up operations continue in city T

he disaster operations centre logged at least 43 flooding-related incidents; 122 power outages across; nine incidents of trees that had blown over or fallen branches and two incidents where roofs were blown across the metropole.

The Disaster Risk Management Centre is coordinating the City of Cape Town’s response to incidents reported.

The numbers of reported incidents during the previous cold front are as follows: . 3640 structures affected in Masiphumelele, Imizamo Yethu, Khayelitsha, Burundi, Nomzamo and Wallacedene. . fallen trees were reported in Parow, Edgemead, Crawford, Panorama, Durbanville and Brackenfell. . roads flooded across the city – most no-

“Another concern raised is the quality of the information provided when members of the public log service requests or alert us to emergencies. This has the potential to slow down response times or results in the incorrect agency responding.

“A simple example is, if the emergency is at City rental stock, we ask that callers indicate such because that too will help determine the correct department to lead the response.

“Therefore, my appeal to the public when

reporting any incidents during heavy weather episodes, but also just in general, is to give as much information as possible, that our response matches their need,” says Smith.

The City reminds residents of the following tips when making a call for help: . once you have dialled the number and are through to the operator, give them your contact number first so they can call you back if you lose connection; . always give your full name; . describe your location as accurately as you can as the operator might not know your neighbourhood as you do. . give the details of your emergency and let the operator guide the conversation; . stay on the line for as long as you can.

Right people key to success of business PROMOTION To be in business for almost 22 years is an achievement in itself but would not be possible without the right employees.

This is how Nathaniel Roberts, owner of Timbacore in Stikland, sums up his success through the years since his company was established in 1998.

To make a success of a business is a miracle and you’ll have to deal with trials and new challenges on the way.

“International statistics show that a very small percentage of companies make it past the 10-year mark. The odds are in my favour as I am celebrating 21 years in business,” he said.

If he and any employee make a mistake, he refers to the mistake as ‘paying school The staff of Timbacore in Stikland. fees’ and stepping stones.

“It is difficult to get the right staff. A lot mers would not necessarily pay a deposit of people start or get chances but not all live because they didn’t know me.

Use reputable timber suppliers The Institute for Timber Construction South Africa (ITC-SA), the SA timber engineering industry’s professional body, wishes to reiterate the importance of using reputable timber suppliers or merchants whose timber complies with the relevant characteristic values.

“We encourage our members and the industry at large to remain steadfast in selecting and using only compliant structural timber that is certified by either of the only accreditation bodies currently in South Africa: The South African Bureau of Standards (SABS) and South African Technical Auditing Services (SATAS), who certify products in compliance with the relevant standards,” says Amanda Obbes, ITCSA General Manager.

It is critical that standards are maintained at all times and that all timber produced and destined for the SA structural market, is compliant. As such, it is expected that local as well as interna-

tional manufacturers of structural timber destined for the SA market, will be certified by a South African-based ISO 17065 accredited Product Certification Body, which is also applicable to the neighbouring states (Swaziland and Zimbabwe).

“We request that all members to be aware of the need for compliance with national legislation and to not make use of either locally produced timber or imports that do not comply with SA standards and requirements,” Obbes concludes.

The institute was established 45 years ago to self-regulate the engineered timber roof structure industry and to provide design, manufacturing, erection, inspection and certification for compliance with inter alia SANS 10400 and SANS 10082, where engineering rational designs are applicable.

Lag ’n bietjie saam met Mel Jones SAMANTHA LEE @samantha_lee121

A

l wat sy wou doen toe sy klein was, was om ander mense te laat lag.

Nou doen die komediant Mel Jones dit vir ’n lewe.

“Toe ek baie jonk was, het ek ’n fliek gaan kyk en toe ek uitstap, het ek só gelukkig gevoel. My siel was gelukkig. Ek kan nie eers meer die naam van die fliek onthou nie. Al wat ek onthou, is dat ek daardie dag geweet het dat ek dit wil doen as ek groot is – om mense gelukkig te maak,” sê sy.

Terwyl sy in die kleinhandelbedryf gewerk het, het haar ma haar vertel van komedie-slypskole wat in Woodstock aangebied word.

Mel was altyd van nature snaaks, maar het nooit gedink dat sy ’n loopbaan van dit sou kon maak nie.

“Ek het die slypskole bygewoon en die fasiliteerder het vir my gesê ek kan nie ‘net daar sit nie’. Die volgende klas het ek van my eie werk saamgevat en dit is baie goed ontvang. Die volgende week het hulle my naam op die lys gesit by ’n oopmikrofoonsessie. Ek was nog nooit vantevore ’n aanhanger van stand upkomedie nie, maar toe die gogga eers gebyt het, kon ek dit nie laat gaan nie,” sê sy.

Mel het in haar loopbaan van 10 jaar verskeie hoëprofiel-optredes gehad, insluitend by die Baxter-teater. Sy’t ook ’n paar toekennings ontvang vir haar werk. Danksy haar sukses as komediant het sy ook ’n suksesvolle radioloopbaan vir haarself uitgekerf.

“Toe ek die radiowese verlaat, het ek teruggegaan na my eerste liefde – komedie,” sê Mel.

Toe sy destyds begin optree het, was sy een van die min vroulike komediante in die land.

Volgens Mel het die feit dat sy meeste van die tyd die enigste vrou tussen ’n klomp mans was haar egter nie afgeskrik van ’n loopbaan in komedie nie.

Sy is trots is om ’n ambassadeur te wees vir vroulike komediante, omdat sy een van die eerstes was wat die bedryf betree het.

“Vroue dink nie aan komedie as ’n loopbaan nie en omdat daar nie baie vroue is wat dit doen nie, wil vroue dit nie probeer nie. Hoe meer vroue egter by komedie betrokke raak, hoe meer sal die weg gebaan word vir ander vroue,” sê sy.

“Mense dink komedie is maklik, maar dit is ’n wanopvatting. Die snaaksste ou rondom die braaivleisvuur beteken nie noodwendig hy gaan suksesvol wees op die verhoog nie.

“Jy moet klomp dinge op die verhoog probeer. Jy sal nooit weet of dit werk nie, tensy jy dit probeer. Dit is hárde werk en net met oefening sal jy beter raak. Dit vat lank om naam te maak.”

Mel is die gasvrou by TygerBurger se Fearlessly Female-vroue-oggend op Vrydag 9 Augustus. Sy beskou haarself as die “glittergom wat alles bymekaar hou” by so ’n geleentheid.

“Ek is passievol oor vroue en om met vroue te werk. Vroue gee soveel en plaas hulself dikwels laaste. Hulle probeer eers om al die ander mense gelukkig te maak voordat hulle aan hulself dink,” sê sy. Sy belowe energie, lag, plesier en vermaak by die vroue-oggend.

“Om met die gehoor te connect en te hoor dat ek hulle ná ’n slegte dag laat glimlag het, is die beste gevoel in die wêreld,” sê sy.

SLICE OF LIFE

Vrouestemme belangrik in samelewing Internasionale Vrouedag word sedert die vroeë 1900’s wêreldwyd gevier – nie net om op die prestasies van vroue te fokus nie, maar ook om te veg vir die gelyke regte van vroue.

Alhoewel ons sedertdien groot vordering gemaak het, bly geslagsongelykheid wêreldwyd steeds ’n groot probleem. Dit is ’n globale neiging dat vroue, wat meer as die helfte van die bevolking uitmaak, steeds onderverteenwoordig is.

In Suid-Afrika word die maand Augustus as Nasionale Vrouemaand en 9 Augustus spesifiek as Vrouedag gevier.

Dan bring ons plaaslik hulde aan die ongeveer 20 000 vroue, wat in die 1956-optog na die Uniegebou in Pretoria opgeruk het om protes aan te teken teen die land se paswette.

Hierdie maand vier ons alle aspekte van vrouwees en wil ons hulde bring aan vroue, ongeag hul klas of ras – wat ongesiens dag na dag hul taak onvermoeid vervul.

Hierdie vroue is ons helde omdat hulle ’n verskil maak waar hulle hul ook mag bevind. Die enkelmammas wat baie keer meer as een werk het om die pot aan die kook te hou, onderwyseresse wat die ekstra myl vir ander se kinders stap, verpleegsters, polisievroue, gemeenskapsaktiviste wat sóveel vir hul gemeenskappe doen ... die lys is nimmereindigend.

Daar is duisende vroue wat gebuk gaan onder moeilike omstandighede, maar wat dag na dag hul taak met grasie vervul en suksesvol in eie reg is. Ons as vroue moet die balans handhaaf tussen persoonlike ontwikkeling, kinders grootmaak, die huwelik en dan nog boonop kompeteer met mans om die korporatiewe leer te klim.

Ons weet dat vroue ander uitdagings as mans het en dat daar juis daarom teen vroue gediskrimineer en hulle opsetlik uit die raadsaal gehou word. Desnieteenstaande het baie vroue op verskillende terreine hoogtes bereik. Vroue speel ’n belangrike rol ter ondersteuning van huishoudings, om inkomste te genereer en om te sien na die algemene welsyn van die gesin, en om haar regmatige plek in die samelewing in te neem.

Die samelewing vereis van ons om op ’n sekere manier op te tree, ’n sekere voorkoms te hê, korrekte en suiwer taal te besig en aan ’n sekere sosiale klas te behoort. Indien jy nie aan hierdie vereistes voldoen nie, is jy nie sosiaal aanvaarbaar vir sekere groepe nie. Dus, die armlastiges, die mindere onder ons, is die uitgeworpenes en word misken. Dis egter verblywend dat die stereotipering – dat vroue se plek in die kombuis is, en dat seuns slimmer as meisies is – stelselmatig afgebreek word.

Ons sien dat meer en meer vroue dinge doen wat hulle nooit voorheen toegelaat was nie en dat vroue daagliks bewys dat hulle tot enigiets in staat is. Ons is dit eens met Michelle Obama wat sê: “Women and girls can be whatever they want.

There is no limit to what we as women can accomplish.”

Ons as vroue is almal gelyk, ongeag ons velkleur of status; ons staar almal dieselfde uitdagings in die gesig. Dit is nie asof die wêreld ’n vreugdevolle, wonderlike plek vir ons is nie – ons moet nog steeds veg vir gelyke regte en teen geweld op verskillende vlakke. Dus, in plaas van jou te bekommer oor hoe jy oorkom, wees trots op jouself en wat jy tot dusver bereik het.

Laat jou stem nooit stil raak nie, maar staan op en staan vas vir dit waaraan jy glo. – Merlyn van der Rheede

“In plaas van jou te bekommer oor hoe jy oorkom, wees trots op jouself en wat jy tot dusver bereik het.”

Safety should be contractors’ first priority I live in Pinehurst in Durbanville. On Thursday (25 July) I was driving past the corner of Wellington and Langeberg Road and was shocked when I saw a contractor and his workers cutting the branches of a eucalyptus tree.

They had no safety equipment and the vehicle they were using was most definitely not roadworthy.

It is a huge concern that the municipality gets these contractors – presumably untrained in safety – to do such dangerous work without the correct safety equipment.

Does the municipality check on these contractors?

Do these contractors have insurance in case of an accident.

What about the threat to people’s lives and property?

We know it is BEE appointments, but that is not the problem.

We want people to have work and do their work, but surely safety comes first and foremost.

A CONCERNED CITIZEN Durbanville City of Cape Town responds: The recreation and parks department is currently investigating the matter and the City will respond when we received all the relevant information.

Hou links, steek regs verby In reaksie op die brief “You know who you are” (TygerBurger, 17 Julie).

Ek besit ook nie ’n motorfiets nie, en is elke dag op die pad as ’n verteenwoordiger.

Motorfietse help om verkeer minder te maak op ons paaie, en verminder die besoedeling deur uitlaatgasse.

As ek een sien aankom, beweeg ek uit sy pad as dit moontlik is. Ek word altyd bedank met ’n lig van die hand.

Net soos baie motoriste wat soos varke ry, kry jy ook die varke op motorfietse. Moenie almal op een standaard plaas nie!

Wat my die meeste pla, is dat die vinnige baan regs as ’n slaapsessie gebruik word!

Bestaan die reël hou links, steek regs verby nie meer nie? Afleweringstrokke is ingesluit in bogenoemde.

Dit gaan my verstand te bowe dat dit soms makliker is om in die linkerbaan verby te gaan.

Hou links, steek regs verby!

Thank you, good caring person A few weeks ago I was stuck on the N1 twice, early evening.

I would like to thank Morne who came to help, and stayed with me during this ordeal.

He went as far as following me all the way to my suburb.

It is good to know there are good caring people out there.

I really appreciate all he did.

This show is a must-see It’s never easy for a box office hit such as #JustMen, currently on at the Baxter Theatre, to be replicated with the same authenticity and credibility, with a re-run and achieve the same standingovation performance as experienced previously.

Director and performer, Heinrich Reisenhofer, states at the very onset that #JustMen is a presentation and not a show, unscripted and unadulterated with performances by four diverse characters.

The successful recipe to this remarkable presentation is the honest, stark account of each character’s early sexual encounters, often using expletives such as the “f-word”, to ultimately drive home their painful sexual experiences.

Each gives a vivid account depicting the societal influence on their sexual manhood and malignancy towards women, but seeking redemption and self-realisation to overcome their mental demons, with the aim of releasing them from patriarchal bondage. #JustMen is a must-see and the post-presentation session is a valuable addendum serving to conscientise men of their sexuality, and to become more sensitive to genderbased violence, and the dignity and respect that women deserve.

Ek verlang terug na die Dover-dae Die koue weer wat ons tans in die Kaap ondervind, laat my terugverlang na die dae toe families rondom ’n ou Dover-stofie vergader het.

Wanneer jy by die kombuisdeur ingestap het, het die warmte en die geur van sop, gebakte brood of pannekoek met kaneel, jou eerste getref.

Om die einste stoof is probleme bespreek en opgelos, terwyl jou ma of ouma met hul kokery voortgegaan het.

Soms is die planne vir Kersfees of enige ander groot gebeurtenis in die familie, ook om die stoof beplan.

Gebakte patats of kwepers is warm uit die oond gehaal en verslind.

Ongelukkig is dié stowe met elektriese stowe vervang, en kan ons net met nostalgie aan daardie tydperk terugdink.

Ouers moet toets slaag vóór kinders Ek glo ouers moet, voor hulle nog daaraan mag dink om kinders te hê, eers ’n verkeerstoets slaag.

Wat veral van belang is, om te weet wat ’n vierrigtingstopstraat is, hoe werk dit en dan, o wee, wat is die verskil tussen ’n gewone sirkel en ’n minisirkel.

Die onnodige verkeersituasies wat ’n mens elke oggend moet verduur –- let wel, ook op pad om my eie bloedjie skool toe te neem – laat ’n mens se bloed kook, selfs met sneeu op die bergpieke.

Neem nou maar die selfgeskepte reuseverkeersknoop by die Laerskool Kenridge in Tygervalleipad. Dis nie omdat daar te veel motors en verkeer is nie. Nee, dis omdat motoriste in Tygervalleipad hulle verbeel die toegangsroetes na die skool se parkeergebied is ’n vierrigtingstopstraat. Ja, ’n mens moet bedagsaam wees en ander ’n kans gee, maar is dit nodig dat elke liewe Kenridge-ouer voorrang geniet!

Diving for a new record Die deelnemers wat aan die skoonheidswedstryd deelgeneem het, het nie vir een oomblik stilgestaan nie

JP Campher underwater while preparing for the dive the weekend of 9 to 11 August.

Cape Town dive enthusiast JP Campher from Brackenfell is all set to break the Guinness World Record’s Longest Open Water Scuba Dive record in cold water for South Africa.

He aims to create awareness about the plight of our oceans and raise R480 000 in crowdfunding for conservation efforts ahead of his dive attempt on the weekend of 9 to 11 August.

“Yes, as an enthusiastic scuba diver, a part of me is strangely excited by this challenge of remaining underwater for 48 hours, but what I’m really hoping to achieve with this attempt, is create more awareness about why and how we can take better care of our oceans and environment so that my kids and the generations to come can enjoy it,” says the dad of two.

“The challenge is vast but great things can be done by combining a series of small actions. If the masses, rather than the minority, were taking a step towards sustainable living – like reducing our plastic consumption by refusing plastic bags and plastic straws, creating eco-bricks from our non-recyclable waste or eating only SASSI green-listed fish species – collectively we could make great improvements” adds Campher.

All funds are to be collected by Saturday 11 August with donations being distributed to various NGOs for education about sustainable fishing, oceanic health and to combat poaching. These institutions include the National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI), SASSI, Sea Shepherd and Ocean Warriors.

Campher is a systems administrator and received his open water diver certificate in 2009, advanced open water diver certificate in 2012 and rescue certificate in 2018. He is a big champion of diving in Cape Town and

South Africa which, despite the cold water, has some of the most beautiful and unique dive spots available.

The 37-year-old will be attempting to blow the current record of 30 hours and 20 minutes out of the water with a 48-hour uninterrupted dive. The attempt will take place at Long Beach, Simon’s Town. The date was selected because it’s when the water temperature is expected to be the most optimal. One of the main criteria for the record is that the water temperature must not exceed 15°C. Such a long duration underwater presents several challenges that include dehydration, oxygen consumption and flushing excess nitrogen. Prolonged exposure to cold water is another big concern. When this happens, one’s body’s energy is drained and your ability to think clearly is affected, which can lead to hypothermia. Human needs such as eating, drinking and sleeping underwater also need to be factored in.

It goes without saying that a lot of mental, emotional and logistical preparation is required when undertaking a task such as this.

Also known as One Mr Fish Breath, he has every intention of winning. He has close to 10 years diving experience, upwards of 100 dives under his belt, and has for three consecutive dive festivals won the contest for being the diver who spends the longest amount of time underwater.

Individuals or corporations are invited to get involved by donating to the 48Hrs Below BackaBuddy crowdfund. Those interested to follow his progress or find out more about his dive can follow his 48Hrs Below Facebook page. For more information contact Campher directly on 072 868 5211 or 48hrs.below@gmail.com

In dié wedstryd vir skoonhede is elke finalis ’n wenner AVRIL FILLIES

P

rojek Bietjie Liefde het onlangs ’n skoonheidswedstryd met ’n verskil, The Be You (tiful), in die skoolsaal van die Hoërskool Westcliff in Bellville gehou.

Altesame 14 finaliste het op Saterdag 13 Julie hul passies op die “loopplank” (verhoog) gewys en almal is as wenners gekroon.

“Die skoonheidswedstryd is alom bekend as die Special Needs Pageant en die deelnemers het gewissel van kinders wat doof, outisties, fisiek- en leergestremd is en ook Down-sindroom het. Ons kies nie een wenner nie, maar elkeen kry ’n spesiale toekenning en ’n geskenk,” het Patricia Smit, organiseerder en ma van Micia Smit, Mej. Junior Tiener 2019, gesê.

“Dit sal onmoontlik wees om een wenner te kies, want elkeen het iets superspesiaal om met die gehoor te deel en was dus ’n wenner in eie reg. Die meisies het ook elkeen ’n kroon en serp, en die seuns ’n trofee saam met die geskenk ontvang.

“Micia is ook die ambassadeur vir die Daniel and Friends-stigting en die skoonheidswedstryd was net nog een van haar projekte om die gemeenskap te help,” het Smit gesê.

Die deelnemers moes toiletware bring, wat op Mandeladag (18 Julie) in saal G3 by die Tygerberg-hospitaal uitgedeel is.

Die ekstra geld wat by die deur ingesamel is, is gebruik om lekkergoed, klein geskenkies en ander benodigdhede vir die uitreikprogramme van Projek Bietjie Liefde te gebruik.

“Van die geld gaan ons ook gebruik om bestanddele aan te koop vir ons straatprojek, waarin ons kos aan straatmense uitdeel. Ons hou ’n verjaardagpartytjie by die Sive Nathi-kinderhuis in Blackheath en die lekkergoed sal vir die kinders gegee word,” het Smit gesê. Die Sive Nathi-kinderhuis is ’n huis vir kinders met gestremdhede en een keer per kwartaal word daar ’n partytjie gehou.

Vanjaar word dit gehou op Saterdag 31 Augustus. “Ons gee vir die kinders wat verjaar geskenkies en die res kry dan lekkergoed.

“Op Saterdag 28 September gaan ons

kolwyntjies by die Paarl Mall verkoop as deel van Cupcakes 4 Kids with Cancer.

Ons is op soek na mense wat nog kolwyntjies kan skenk, want ons wil dit aan soveel as moontlik kinders kan uitdeel.

“Ons het elke jaar ’n Bietjie Liefdespan wat aan die Cansa Relay for Life deelneem, en dit word op Saterdag 2 November gehou. Elke jaar tydens Kersfees reik ons ook uit na straatmense deur kos, klere en toiletware aan hulle uit te deel en dit gaan ons vanjaar op Saterdag 22 Desember doen,” het Smit gesê.

As deel van haar en Micia se betrokkenheid by die Daniel an Friends-stigting hou hulle op Saterdag 5 Oktober die Different is Cool-modeparade. Die galaaand van die stigting word op Saterdag 8 November gehou.

Tydens die afgelope skoonheidswedstryd het die seremoniemeester ’n kort beskrywing van elke deelnemer gegee en ander het hulself voorgestel.

“Die hoogtepunt was die danspassies wat sommige van die deelnemers uitgevoer het en dit is luidrugtig deur die gehoor toegejuig. Ons wou met hul optredes op die verhoog die publiek bewus maak van wat hulle kan doen en dat hulle verby hul gestremdhede moes kyk,” het sy gesê.

Die toekennings wat die meisies ontvang het, is toegeken volgens hul persoonlikhede. Daar was: Darling Diva, Little Love, Inspiration Queen, Miss Sunshine, Sparkling Personality, Beauty Queen, Miss Spontaneous, Miss Awesome, Pretty Smile en Drama Queen.

Die seuns is as Handsome Hunk, Superhero, Mr Awesome, Mr Incredible en King of Love gekroon.

“Die grootste probleem was om almal op die verhoog te laat stilstaan, maar elkeen het op sy of haar manier ‘gepose’ tot groot vermaak van die gehoor.

“Elkeen se manewales het ons almal se harte warm laat klop en die ouers het die meeste geraas.

“Van die deelnemers neem al die vierde keer aan die kompetisie deel en ons sien hoe hulle elke jaar groei – nie net as individue met mooi persoonlikhede nie, maar ook hul liefde vir mekaar,” het Smit gesê.

‘Stomp’ returns to SA T he entertaining show, Stomp is coming to Cape Town in September.

Matchboxes, brooms, garbage cans, Zippo lighters and more fill the stage with energising beats in this inventive and invigorating stage show that blends dance, music and theatrical performance into rhythm. The show toured South Africa in 2010 to critical acclaim and sold-out performances.

Stomp finds beauty and music in the mundane. It turns brooms into instruments and handclapping into a conversation; the junk and clutter of urban life becomes the source of infectious rhythm.

What’s on | Wat’s waar V One Vision, a tribute to Abba and Queen, is on at the Barnyard Theatre Willowbridge until Sunday 4 August.

TER RUSTE GELÊ: HÝ WAS ’N SAGMOEGDIGE SOKKEREUS

Maxwell laat leemte AVRIL FILLIES

D

ie heengaan van Maxwell Swartland (61) van Bishop Lavis, alombekend as Max, is ’n groot slag vir die sokkergemeenskap in die Wes-Kaap en nie net vir die Bishop Lavis-gemeenskap nie.

Sy sokkerspore strek so ver as die Overberg, waar hy eiehandig gehelp het om sokkervelde te skep. Hy het self met ’n skoffel en graaf ingeklim om ’n stuk veld skoon te maak sodat ander sokkerliefhebbers daar ook sy liefde vir die spel kan deel.

In sy huldeblyk by die begrafnisdiens in Goodwood, het Paul Arendse, sekretaris van die sokkervereniging, gesê dat Swartland se lewe in vier dae onvoorwaardelik omgekeer is.

“Max het op Vrydag 5 Julie afgetree uit die staatsdiens, sy 61ste verjaardag op Sondag 7 Julie gevier, op dieselfde dag die jaarvergadering in Macassar bygewoon, die Cokebekerwedstryde bygewoon en Dinsdag 9 Julie, is hy nie meer met ons nie,” het Arendse gesê.

Swartland het sy hoërskoolloopbaan in 1972 by die Hoërskool John Ramsay in Bishop Lavis begin en was in sy matriekjaar in 1976 die hoofseun.

Sy groot glimlag was eie aan hom en hy het altyd ander se belange bo sy eie gestel.

Hy het sy sokkerloopbaan by die destydse Goodwood Rangers begin en later vir Celtic gespeel voordat hy as sekretaris by die Bishop Lavis-sokkerklub begin het.

In 1990 was hy een van die afgevaardigdes van die Noordelikes-unie se onderhandelingspan, wat instrumenteel was in die samesmelting met die Central-Sokkerunie, wat in Matroosfontein gesetel was.

Arendse en Swartland het saam op die

Maxwell Swartland uitvoerende bestuur van Noordelikes gedien, terwyl Swartland ook lid was van die Bishop Lavis-sokkerklub. Deur dié samesmelting is die nou bekende Noordelike Voorstede Plaaslike Sokkervereniging (NSLFA) in 1991 gestig.

In die huldeblyk van die Suid-Skiereilandse Plaaslike Sokkervereniging word

hy as ’n sokkerreus beskryf.

“Hy was bekend as iemand wat altyd sokker eerste gestel het deur die spel op enige moontlike manier bekend te stel, aan te beveel of om ’n paar balle saam met die juniors rond te skop. Hoewel hy later ’n administrateur was, het hy nooit sy passie vir sokker verloor nie,” het ’n verteenwoordiger van die vereniging gesê.

Max het in die Overbergstreek self die doelpale rondgedra, in vergaderings gesit om die spel te bevorder of om sokkerkompetisies te reël.

“Wanneer wedstryde in Bishop Lavis gespeel moes word, het ons geweet hy sal op die veld wees om te help om moontlike probleme op te los,” het die huldeblyk verder gelui.

David Slater, een van sy sokkervriende, het gesê dat Swartland ’n sagmoedige reus was.

Ernest Zondi, sekretaris van Safa Kaapstad, het hom as Mnr. Sokker beskryf.

“Ons was al die jare vriende – op en van die veld af. As enigeen van ons hulp nodig gehad het, het ons nie geskroom om te bel en daarvoor te vra nie.

Ek gaan hom baie mis, veral sy geselsies ná wedstryde en die groot glimlag op sy gesig,” het Zondi gesê.

Vernon Seymour het in sy huldeblyk genoem dat Swartland in die sewentiger- en

tagtigerjare gesorg het dat jong seuns by sokker betrokke raak en nie deel word van bendes nie.

Perry Uys, een van sy spanmaats by Goodwood Rangers, het gesê dat Swartland baie gewild was onder die spelers en altyd betrokke was by die juniors die Saterdagoggend voordat hy die middag sy klubverpligtinge as senior moes nakom.

Volgens Johannes Lewis, voorsitter van Bishop Lavis-sokkerklub, was Swartland die streeksekretaris van Safa Kaapstad van 2006 tot 2016 en koördineerder van die SA Brouerye se ligakompetisie. Van 2014 tot 2019 was hy die sekretaris en registrasiebeampte by die klub.

“Toe Max in 2014 by die klub aangesluit het, het hy ’n groot rol in die verandering van die klub se grondwet gespeel. Hy het nie net sy eie rolle waarin hy aangestel is nie, vervul nie, maar ook op ander vlakke van bestuur in die klub, handjie bygesit.

“Hy was een van die jongste lede wat op die NLFA gedien het en het ook die meeste poste vervul op die Bishop Lavis-Sportforum (BLASARA),” het Lewis gesê.

Hy was ook ’n mense-mens en geen taak was te klein of te groot vir hom nie.

In 2007 is hy deur Safa as die streeksekretaris van die Overbergstreek aangestel en was hy vir al die administratiewe pligte verantwoordelik.

“Weens sy betrokkenheid by die klub het ons talle bekers ingepalm. Sy familie was ook vir hom belangrik, en namens die klub wil ek hom vir sy bydrae tot spelers en sokker salueer,” het Lewis gesê.

Swartland is voorverlede Saterdag vanuit die Anglikaanse kerk St. Albans in Goodwood begrawe en laat ’n seun en dogter agter.

UWK klop Primrose oortuigend SAREL BURGER Die nederlae van die rugbyspanne van die klubs Unie-Milnerton en Brackenfell in die jongste reeks Superligawedstryde maak hul posisie wankelrig om later hierdie seisoen vir die Presidentbeker-kompetisie te kwalifiseer.

Van die ses voorste spanne op die punteleer wat vir die Presidentbeker-kompetisie kwalifiseer, is die Maties, Ikeys, Valsbaai en Durbanville-Bellville feitlik verseker van hul deelname.

Dit beteken dat Unie-Milnerton, Brackenfell en die Universiteit van Wes-Kaapland (UWK) dit sal moet uitspook om die vyfde en sesde plekke.

Ná die jongste reeks wedstryde lyk die puntestand in die topafde-

ling nou só: Valsbaai eerste (50 punte, 11 wedstryde), gevolg deur Durbell (46 in 11 wedstryde), die Ikeys (45 in 10 wedstryde), Unimil (39 in 12 wedstryde), Brackenfell (34 in 10 wedstryde) en UWK (33 in 8 wedstryde).

Die onoorwonne Maties, wat sover nog net ses wedstryde gespeel het, sal hom waarskynlik binne die volgende paar weke ook in die voorste gestoeltes begeef. Tygerbergklub kan ook nog nie afgeskryf word nie.

UWK maak al meer stem dik en die afgelope naweek is Primrose met 85-22 kafgeloop terwyl Tygerberg met 25-19 met Schotsche Kloof/ Walmer klaargespeel het. Unimil (16-29 t Valsbaai) en Brackenfell (2527 t die Ikeys) kon egter nie die pyp rook nie.

Speel in óns gholfdag STEHAN SCHOEMAN TygerBurger hou op Vrydag 27 September ’n gholfdag ten bate van Huis Jabes, ’n veilige hawe vir vrouens en kinders van gesinsgeweld.

Spelers sal by die Kuilsriviergholfklub sake uitspook en groot pryse is op die spel. Die formaat is ’n vierbal-samespel met twee tellings wat tel.

Pro Fans sal sorg vir gesogte sportmemorabilia, wat tydens die prysuitdelingsdinee opgeveil sal word. Die opbrengs sal aan Huis Jabes geskenk word. ’n Paar sportsterre sal ook deel wees van die dag se verrigtinge en besonderhede hieroor sal later bekend gemaak word. Die sportvasvrakompetisie behoort ook groot aftrek te vind. Daar is reeds ’n aantal

Kuilsrivier (53-36 t Vineyards) en Bellville (26-20 t Helderberg) word al meer ’n bedreiging vir Franschhoek aan die bopunt van die punteleer in afdeling B. Franschhoek (49 punte, 12 wedstryde) is nou net ’n kortkop voor Bellville (47 in 11 wedstryde) en Kuilsrivier (46 in 10 wedstryde).

In ander wedstryde die afgelope naweek het Belhar 47-35 teen All Saints gewen, maar Goodwood het 32-48 teen Hamlets vasgeval.

In afdeling C kruip Hands & Heart (45 punte in 10 wedstryde) al nader aan die puntelys-voorloper Scottsdene (47 in 11 wedstryde) ná sy afrekening van 23-14 met Langa.

Scottsdene het ’n loslootjie gehad.

Kraaifontein het Manenberg 66-0 gelooi en so ook Elsiesrivier met 46-5 teen Kylemore. vierballe verkoop en spasie is beperk. Die koste is R2 500 per vierbal, wat middag- en aandete insluit.
