PAINT CITY: HUMANITARIAN CRISIS LURKING
Refugees left in lurch NIELEN DE KLERK @nielendk
A
s politicians argue over whose responsibility they are, the refugees at Bellville’s Paint City say they aren’t going anywhere. “God is keeping us here,” says Unice Akellow, originally from Kenya, who is one of the leaders or “representatives” of the group. “We just pray and pray.” The group of refugees are one of two groups who were moved earlier this year as Covid-19’s emergency measures were put into place across the country. The other group of refugees was moved to Wingfield in Goodwood.
Background Before then they were housed in the Central Methodist church in Cape Town’s CBD and on Greenmarket Square; and before that they staged a sit-in at the offices of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). The two groups became violent with one another during their sit-in in the CBD. The refugees want what they’ve always wanted – repatriation to a safe country, one which isn’t the country they’ve come from or South Africa, which they have found to be xenophobic. At the moment 638 people from 12 countries are living at the Paint City site. Among them are 238 children. No-one has a job and they rarely leave their home, for fears of the coronavirus and losing their home. They live on donations, which they say has decreased because donors are allegedly being intimidated by unknown officials. They rarely welcome visitors on the site itself, and these are mostly journalists or officials from the UN Human Rights Commission who are monitoring their safety. Detained, sanitation removed Last week the City’s health department issued a warning letter to the national Department of Public Works (DPW) for contravention of the Environmental Health By-Law. This comes after the DPW withdrew sanitation facilities at the site, forcing the refugees to construct makeshift toilets, with sewerage being put into bags or flowing onto adjoining properties.
Earlier this month 56 refugees from the site were detained by the Department of Home Affairs because they apparently refused to sign deportation papers. A total of 19 were released. The refugees currently at the site say they haven’t heard from them since. This is particularly distressing for their wives or partners and their children.
‘Bickering’ The DPW, which is run by Minister (and former Mayor of Cape Town) Patricia de Lille, has been at odds with the City surrounding the issue, drawing parliament to comment on the matter in October. The Paint City site is owned by the City of Cape Town and Wingfield is owned by the DPW. According to a report by the Cape Argus the chair of parliament’s portfolio committee on home affairs Bongani Bongo said in October: “It is unacceptable that to this day, when we should be looking at concluding the matter and finding solutions, there are no collective decisions but bickering and finger-pointing, and continuing disputes about the mandate of the different spheres of government.” The Department of Home Affairs then reportedly told the committee that it was formulating an exit strategy, but that the state of disaster was having a “significant impact on plans”. Objections Richard Bosman, the City’s safety and security director, says they objected to the Paint City site being used in the first place. “The City views the DPW’s actions (to remove and try and evict refugees) as a forceful and devious attempt to strong arm the City into providing a function outside of its mandate,” he says. He says the national DPW is threatening to evict all the refugees at the site without a court order. “(This) do(es) not constitute a solution. The City remains open to negotiating a more appropriate solution on the matter through the available intergovernmental relations mechanisms,” he says. At the Wingfield site, where the City says it agreed to “limited participation” it is paying for marquee tents and amenities. V To page 2

T
he Western Cape health department has confirmed that the Cape metropole is experiencing a resurgence in Covid19 cases. According to a statement released by the City of Cape Town, based on the experiences of other countries around the world, the confirmation should sound a warning to us all that the growing complacency in recent months needs to be cast aside with urgency. “It is imperative that Cape Town pulls together to ensure that the resurgence in caseload and related hospitalisations are curbed, and quickly too. The City’s health department remains equipped to assist with Covid-19 screening, testing and referrals, but also contact tracing in conjunction with other health agencies. The majority of our 34 overflow facilities, opened earlier this year to increase capacity at clinics in light of the pandemic, remain active, as are the
mobile testing booths that were set up at a number of clinics,” the statement reads. As indicated, there is growing community transmission across the metropole, with certain suburbs showing higher active caseloads, based on the available data. These suburbs include Bellville, Claremont, Delft, Dunoon, Grassy Park, Gugulethu, Hanover Park, Kuils River, Lentegeur, Lotus River, Macassar, Milnerton, Nyanga, Ottery, Parklands, Parow, Pinelands, Rocklands, Rondebosch, Sea Point, Somerset West, Strand, Tafelsig and Wynberg. However, the City says the public should continue adhering to the Covid-19 health and safety protocols that were so diligently observed during the peak of the pandemic earlier this year. “Unlike the peak, when the country was still in a hard lockdown, there is far more mobility under the current alert level,
which means the risk of transmission is greater, and not limited to the suburbs that are experiencing a surge in caseload,” the City says. Apart from regular hand washing and sanitising, residents are advised to keep wearing their masks when in public and to wear them properly – covering both their mouth and nose. “Gatherings are best avoided, and if you must attend a gathering, we advise that you keep it short, and ensure that the room or area is well ventilated.” The City’s environmental health service will continue to monitor shopping malls and retailers to ensure compliance, in the interest of public safety. The public is also advised to report any non-compliance to the City’s public emergency communication centre on 021 480 7700 from a cellphone or 107 from a landline.

This was done with the understanding that the Department of Home Affairs would, after lockdown, repatriate the refugees to their country’s of origin or they would voluntarily integrate with communities they were residing in before October 2019 when they took up occupation of the UNHCR offices. “To date, neither the DPW nor National Treasury have identified any legal mandate whatsoever to justify why the City should cover costs as a result of Home Affairs’ ongoing failure to conclude their legal duties on repatriation,” Bosman says. “The law is clear that refugees are managed in terms of the Refugees Act, which falls within the mandate of the Minister of Home Affairs.”
De Lille says the City is irresponsible and is spreading false news by saying the DPWI wants to evict the refugees from land owned by the City. “The City of Cape Town has clearly lost the plot to incorrectly assign the mandate of providing sanitation facilities to refugees to the Department of Public Works and Infrastructure. Which country do they live in? The City must stop their crèche politics and grow up. I’m wondering who the real leader in the crèche is so that I can buy him some nappies. “Nowhere in the country is DPWI responsible for providing sanitation facilities to communities. This is always the responsibility of a municipality.” It is the City’s responsibility to look after the refugees, she says. “The City has refused to carry out its mandate to provide shelter and sanitation
services to refugees at Paint City which is owned by the City.”
Rats As departments argue, the situation at Paint City is run smoothly with a set of rules governed by the refugees themselves. Different groups have taken responsibility for safety, cooking, teaching and cleaning. Whether this will remain a safe haven for long is becoming a more pertinent question. Rats have started crawling among the residents and the open sewage is a health concern. “The rats don’t bother us at day,” says Akellow. “It’s at night when we can’t see them.” The Department of Home Affairs and De Lille’s spokesperson didn’t respond to questions by time of print.

Presies ’n jaar gelede het die Stadskoor Tygerberg uitgesien na ’n besige en opwindende 2020-koorjaar. Hoogtepunte sou onder meer “Last night at the Proms” saam met verskeie ander kore en die Kaapse Simfonieorkes met Richard Cock, ’n piekniekkonsert by die Kasteel de Goede Hoop en ’n galakonsert insluit. “Niemand kon voorsien dat ’n virus ’n streep sou kom trek deur só baie planne en idees nie,” sê Hester Heunis, ’n woordvoerder van die koor. “In hierdie stadium is daar nog groot onsekerheid wat 2021 sal bring, maar daar is besluit om proaktief te wees en solank be-
planning te doen vir moontlike optredes in die nuwe jaar,” sê sy. In die eerste helfte van die jaar is daar Paasoptredes, konserte by aftreeoorde en ’n moontlike piekniekkonsert by die Kasteel op die program. Voorlopig sal die koorlede op Donderdag, 14 Januarie vir die eerste keer weer bymekaar kom. Omdat koorlede in Maart laas saam gesing en gekuier het, sal die geleentheid die vorm van ’n piekniek of sing-a-long aanneem net om mekaar weer te vind en die stemme weer aan die gang te kry. Daar word ’n oefennaweek vir Vrydag 12 Februarie en Saterdag 13 Februarie beplan.

Projek wil helde van Covid-19 eer ESMÉ ERASMUS
’n
Bewusmakingsprojek om die helde van die Covid-19-pandemie in gemeenskappe bekend te stel en te eer, is Maandag begin. Die veldtog deur Project Brave Heart, ’n nie-winsgewende program by skole wat hom beywer om boeliegedrag te stop, gaan sowat ses maande duur, waartydens mense helde in hul gemeenskappe kan nomineer. Die top-10 “Brave Heroes” word op 7 Mei aangekondig, waarna die algehele wenners op 31 Mei bekend gemaak sal word. Nasionale Brave Heart-dag word ook op 7 Mei gevier. “Ons almal is deur ’n baie moeilike jaar en dit is nou die tyd om dankie te sê. Die idee het daaruit ontstaan dat mense die boelie-
probleem met negatiwiteit getakel het, maar ons wil dit op ’n positiewe manier benader deur helde te vereer, sê Maiveen Boehme. Sy het die program in 2018 begin nadat sy self as kind op skool geboelie is en jare later ook haar dogters. Sy meen die fokus is verkeerdelik op boelies en die negatiwiteit van boeliegedrag. “Deur dankie te sê en na mekaar te kyk, keer jy dat mense mekaar boelie en mense stel dus ’n voorbeeld vir mekaar,” sê Boehme. “Nie-winsgewende maatskappye soos ons is seker nou die laaste maatskappye waaroor mense bekommerd is, tog dra ons die land in baie opsigte. “Met die veldtog verander ons mense se denkwyses en sê dankie vir mekaar, en kry
daardeur geld vir ons projekte. Dus is dit ’n wen-wen situasie vir almal. Hoe meer helde ons kan aanwys, hoe meer vennote kan ons help,” sê sy. Besoek #BRAVEHeroes South Africa op Facebook vir stories van mense wat helde vir ander tydens 2020 was. Mense kan ’n “Brave Heroe” nomineer deur “BRAVEHERO” na 42210 te stuur. Inskrywings kos R30 elk en word outomaties van jou selfoon verhaal. Dis ’n eenmalige donasie. “Ons wil graag maatskappye aanmoedig om hul personeel in te skryf, aangesien personeel soms onder moeilike omstandighede moes werk,” sê sy. Maatskappye kan meer as een hart aanlyn op www.projecbraveheart.co.za koop. “Ons gaan nie kyk na hoe groot ’n daad
was nie, want soms is dit die klein dingetjies in die lewe wat saak maak. Iemand kon dus vir jou data gekoop het, kos gekoop het, emosioneel bygestaan het of tyd met jou spandeer het. “Wat wel belangrik is, ons wil weet hoe dit daardie persoon wat hulp nodig gehad het laat voel het,” sê sy. “Ons glo dit gaan ’n geweldige impak op ons land en sy mense maak. Dit is ’n baie positiewe boodskap van heldedade en wat ons eintlik vir mekaar beteken – dat ons wel kan saamstaan as ’n nasie in moeilike tye,” sê Boehme. Dit is terselfdertyd ook ’n fondsinsamelingsprojek vir Project Brave Heart se teenboelieprojek by skole. V Kontak Maiveen Boehme by 082 460 8694 of maiveen@projectbraveheart.co.za vir inligting.
Garden established to support these health workers A Staff Wellness and Support (Swells) Committee has recently been established at Tygerberg Hospital with the objective to facilitate enhancement of the hospital’s internal and external physical environment – especially during the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic. The committee’s founding members are dr Roshni Mistry (chairperson), dr Granville Marinus (treasurer), prof Rafique Moosa, dr Suretha Kannenberg (secretary) and professional nurse, Nora Windvogel. A wellness park was established recently at the hospital thanks to the committee and with the help of Cape Nature. “The vision of the wellness park at Tygerberg Hospital is to benefit staff and patients – a vision which was shared with Cape Nature in 2018.
“The project was given momentum with the Swells committee, when planning meetings began in August 2020,” says Laticia Pienaar, hospital spokesperson. On Friday 20 November, the garden area that Cape Nature assisted Tygerberg Hospital with, was officially handed over. “This unique partnership with Cape Nature is something to celebrate, especially during the most challenging health pandemic our country is facing,” Pienaar says.
The Swells committee are from left professional nurse Nora Windvogel, prof Rafique Moosa and dr Roshni Mistry with Cape Nature chief executive, dr Razeena Omar, and committee members dr Suretha Kannenberg and dr Granville Marinus.

Dubbeldosis Karoo met Deon en Coenie D
eon Meyer en Coenie de Villiers se gewilde Karoo Suite-produksies word beskryf as die “mooiste liefdesbrief aan die Karoo”. Karoo Suite en Karoo Suite 2: Karoonagte is op Donderdag 10, Saterdag 12 en Sondag 13 Desember by die inryteater van die Atlantic Studios, die tuiste van die kykNETsepie Suidooster, te sien. Albei produksies word elke aand ten bate van die Suidoosterfees en die Jakes Gerwel Stigting se liriekskryf-mentorskapprogram aangebied. Dis ’n “double feature” soos in die inryteaters van ouds – kompleet met ’n pouse vir burgers en melkskommels. Meyer vertel die stories op die verhoog, terwyl De Villiers saam met ’n orkes vir musikale begeleiding sorg. Die aanbieding word aangevul met foto’s en videomateriaal van die Karoolandskap deur die National Geographic-span, Nasa, Deon Meyer, asook animasiewerk deur Diek Grobler. Meyer en De Villiers se talente sorg vir ’n gedugte kombinasie. Karoo Suite het gehore by verskeie feeste en teaters in vervoering gehad, en het daarna landswyd uitverkoop. Die produksies bestaan uit verskeie bewegings waarin die landskap van die Karoo, sy mense en hul vreugdes en pyn op hartroerende wyse verken word. Die musikale span sluit van die land se
bestes in: Mauritz Lotz op kitaar, Jaconell Mouton op klavier, David Klassen op tromme en perkussie en De Villiers self agter die klavier. Kaartjies is by Computicket beskikbaar teen R400 per motor (met tot vier insittendes). Daar is slegs 40 BBP-kaartjies per aand teen R300 per persoon beskikbaar vir binnein die Atlantic-ateljees. Meyer en De Villiers beywer hulle lank reeds vir die ontwikkeling van jongmense met potensiaal. Hul eerste produksie kon, in samewerking met die Atterbury Trust, bykans ’n miljoen rand skenk aan leerders in die Karoo. Die opbrengs van hierdie kaartjieverkope sal aangewend word om die liriekskryf-mentorskapprogram uit te brei met werksessies wat voortaan in die Karoo en Kaapstad aangebied sal word. As deel van dié ontwikkelingsprogram kry liriekskrywers die geleentheid om by die Suidoosterfees en KKNK op te tree. V Besoek www.suidoosterfees.co.za vir meer inligting.

Dankie aan ons klante vir hul geduld terwyl ons die diensaanbod tydens die COVID-19inperking moes beperk. Sedert Junie het ons aandag gegee aan meer as 150 000 diensversoeke. Selfs gedurende die spitstyd van die COVID-19-inperking het ons daarin geslaag om meer as 90 000 versoeke op te los. Weens die COVID-19-veiligheidsmaatreëls kon ons nie aan sekere versoeke aandag gee nie, soos individuele straatligonderbrekings. Ons het sedertdien ’n volledige diensaanbod hervat. Daar is groot hoeveelhede COVID-19-agterstandversoeke, spesifiek oor die herstel van straatligte. Ons is besig om hierdie so vinnig as moontlik te hanteer. Diensversoeke en afhandelingstye kan ook beïnvloed word deur enige skielike COVID-19verwante sluiting van depots. Weereens baie dankie en wees asseblief veilig.

Street children fall through the cracks DESIRÉE RORKE @dezzierorke
W
ith impossibly high caseloads and a shortage of social workers, the holistic well-being and development of street children are being hindered. Thus, hundreds of vulnerable children fall through the cracks, never getting the help they so desperately need. To this end the Western Cape Street Children’s Forum (WCSCF) in collaboration with the Western Cape Child Protection Collaborative (CPC) – in response to the Draft Amendment Bill of the Children’s Act – put forward a submission to parliament last week to have discussions about critical systemic issues. The Collaborative requested to
appear before the parliamentary committee in person. It was formed in 2017 is made up of several entities, which has a wide network in the northern suburbs of Cape Town. “It is a civil society child protection movement made up of practitioners and professionals with the aim to lobby government agencies for efficacy in child protection,” explains Janice King, director of WCSCF. “We want more clarity on the term, ‘wellbeing and development’, used in the Bill. We feel it should read holistic development, otherwise it could be interpreted as just one aspect of development,” she says. “And, with reference to funding of facilities, do we have transparency on how funds are prioritised and allocated? If so, where do we access this, how and when? When do
these discussions and processes take place? And how can the community or those working in the sector be consulted? “Also, municipal processes pertaining to early childhood development centres are not clear enough. There are many unregistered, unmonitored community-based organisations that provide care and protection services to children. They often do not know that they must apply for registration or even that norms and standards exist. When these organisations are brought to the attention of the provincial social development department, they only want to register the organisations if they are able to fund them. This means that many organisations remain unregistered and unmonitored.” Moreover, there are an inadequate num-
ber of funded posts for social workers in the childcare and protection system, hence the backlog and caseloads. “The Children’s Act says that a designated social worker should have a maximum of 60 clients, but most that we come across in the city have 200-300 cases, not taking siblings into account. With excessively high caseloads, social workers are expected to do a job that is actually impossible and therefore terribly unpleasant. “It results in a high turnover of social workers as they are themselves abused by ‘the system’, and vulnerable children not receiving the service they desperately need.” The closing date for public comments was Friday 29 November, after which parliamentary processes begin.

LEWENSKIEKIE
‘Aaptwak’ nou wettig, maar ... Papegaaislaai, aaptwak, ganja, weed, noem dit wat jy wil, maar dis mos nou, party sal sê uiteindelik, wettig in SuidAfrika. Só wettig dat die een daggaklub ná die ander nou in die land geopen word. Want daar is blykbaar skuiwergate in die wet wat dit moontlik maak. Solank jy nie daarmee handel dryf nie, blyk dit, is almal gelukkig. Ek lees in die koerant dit werk só: Jy sluit by die klub aan en hulle kweek vir jou ’n plantjie op hul privaat perseel. Wanneer jy die behoefte voel, kan jy van jou eie plant op die perseel gaan nuttig. Hulle kan seker lekker muffins ook daarvan maak. Maar jy kan dit rook ook, of gemeng met alkoholvrye bier geniet. Ek hoor selfs gerespekteerde lede van die gereg, soos polisiebeamptes, het al by die klub aangesluit. Hulle kan, want ingevolge die wet word niks onwettigs gedoen nie. Die klub sê: “we consume cannabis for the same reasons people wear glasses – to improve your view of the world”. Helaas en uiteindelik, sal party mense ook sê, want die groen slaai is al lankal wettig in ander lande. Vat nou maar Nederland, waar mense lankal in Amsterdamse restaurante so ’n ou twakkie saam met hul koffie kan bestel. In San Francisco, Amerika, is ’n daggastoppie net ’n oproep ver. Dis ’n kwessie van bel en bestel, en dit word afgelewer. Presies vyftig jaar gelede het in skrille kontras hiermee die volgende beriggie in die koerant verskyn: “Nog ’n daggaplant het in ’n Paarlse tuin kop uitgesteek. Onderwyl werkers in die tuin gewerk het, het hulle op die verdagte plant, wat sowat 18 duim hoog was, afgekom. Hulle het die eienaar daarvan verwittig, wat dit uitgetrek en die polisie ontbied het. ’n Speurder het dit uitgeken as dagga en dit weggeneem. Daar word vermoed dat die saadjie in die tuin gewaai is.” Wel, wel, wel, hoe het dinge nie verander nie! Van die polisie wat jag maak op al wat daggaplant is, tot klubs waar selfs húlle so nou en dan uitslaan vir ’n rookdingetjie. Moet net nie die twakkies koop of verkoop nie, want dit bly onwettig. Intussen het die Daggaparty van Suid-Afrika ook tot stand gekom. Op sy webwerf word 14 redes verstrek waarom dagga goed is vir die mens. Dit bevat Omega 3, 6 en 9 in presies die regte verhouding vir hart- en geestesgesondheid. Die aktiewe bestanddeel THC is ook goeie medisyne teen onder meer pyn, naarheid, asma, depressie en alkoholisme. Boonop beveg dit kankerselle, word op die webwerf gesê. Destyds, toe ons op skool was, sou mense omtrent ’n oorval kry as hulle gehoor het so en so gebruik dagga. Die kruid is hand en tand beveg en dit was omtrent die skande van alle skandes as iemand papegaaislaai gebruik. Maar helaas, mense wat die plantjies tuis kweek moet ook maar ligloop vir die gereg, want as daar te veel is, kan maklik vermoed word dat iemand dit kweek vir verkoop. Nie te lank gelede nie is so vyf plantjies deur die polisie afgevat en is in die media groot gewag gemaak van die “daggaplantasie” wat hulle ontdek het. En dit alles beteken net een ding: Never say never. Wat vandag onwettig is, is dalk môre wettig. – Werner van Tonder
“Die kruid is hand en tand beveg en dit was omtrent die skande van alle skandes as iemand papegaaislaai gebruik.”
Respect for lost lives: Flags across the country flew at half mast as a tribute to lives lost as a result of Covid-19 and victims of genderbased violence in line with President Cyril Ramaphosa’s directive that the country observe a few days of mourning between Thursday 26 and Sunday 29 November. “Many South Africans have experienced the terrible loss of a loved one to one of these two pandemics and we send our condolences to all of those grieving at this time,” says Alan Winde, Western Cape premier.

Die lewe druk soms terug My kantoorfoon lui. “Kan jy gou na my kantoor toe kom?” vra die menslike hulpbronbestuurder. Haar sagte stem klink onseker. Dis vreemd. Gewoonlik kom sy na my as my departement enige aangeleenthede het wat my aandag vereis. Ek het amper altyd nie tyd om na enigeen te gaan nie. My departement vereis baie aandag en baie tyd. Dit is seker ’n topbestuur implementasie wat ’n groter kantoor as myne vereis waar meer mense moet sit dink ek. “Dis reg. Ek maak gou die e-pos waarmee ek besig is klaar, dan stap ek na jou”. Ek gaan my spelling en leestekens na en druk die stuurknoppie. Die helder blou lug en sonskyn is opvallend vandag, dink ek, terwyl ek na haar kantoor stap. Ek klop, word gesê om in te kom en maak so … “Hello jy,” hoor ek haar sê. “Dankie vir gister se eetgoed met jou verjaardag”. Haar oë lyk onseker, dink ek. Sy sien ek sien die omgedraaide pakkie A4-papiere op die tafel. Dit laat haar ongemaklik lyk. “Voor ek begin, wil ek hê jy moet weet ek stem nie hiermee saam nie ... maar ons moet poste sny. Covid het ons erg geknou. Jy is een van die ongelukkiges. Jy moet einde van die week gaan. Ek is so jammer.” Die res van die formaliteite is ’n gesuis in my ore … en ek hoor nie veel nie. Gelukkig ken ek dit, maar vandag is ek aan die ontvangkant. Oppad terug na my kantoor skyn die son nog net so helder, maar die wind het opgesteek. HARDWERKENDE GESINSMAN E-pos
Too easy to step on a racial toe I have no connection at all with the Brackenfell High School, any of its pupils or their parents, neither do I write on their behalf. That having been said, I do consider a reply to EV Rapiti’s letter (“Brackenfell violence, an issue for serious deliberation”)in TygerBurger of 25 November is necessary. The Constitution guarantees the right to protest, but, this right is to be exercised in a peaceful manner. Unfortunately that proviso appears to be forgotten by all the “protesters” and, as was the case when they “protested” at the Clicks shops, the EFF came to Brackenfell not to protest but to riot. The reason for their “protest” was a case of perceived racism, based on an unproved allegation, which was subsequently denied, which denial stands unchallenged and was accepted by the local MEC for education. Your correspondent, Rapiti, appears to agree with the EFF that the private party was a “racial gathering” because it was attended by white pupils only. The parents are criticised, as well as the teachers who attended and the MEC is suspected of possibly “pandering to the salivating appetite of her racist followers”. The Constitution also guarantees freedom of association. This means that I may invite to my private party whomever I wish. That is my right. The number of guests is irrelevant and when somebody is not invited he, she or it, has no cause for complaint. The fact that those not invited were classmates with the invited pupils, or were in the same rugby or hockey teams gives them no right to an invitation. When a host invites some people and chooses not to
invite others, there is no duty to provide reasons to the uninvited for their being not on the list of guests. Whether the parents did invite some pupils of colour to the party or not is equally irrelevant, except that, if they did, it proves that the party was not exclusively for white pupils only. If the person invited chooses not to come, for whatever reason, that cannot reflect negatively on the one extending the invitation. There could be many reasons, other than racial preference, why the party was attended by white pupils only or why only those white pupils were invited. It is irresponsible to jump to conclusions and shout “racist” on the mere fact that only white pupils attended a private party. I fear that on those grounds I, too, would be accused of racism because I did not, and never have, invited a single person of colour to my birthday party. I have also never accused the people of colour whom I have met and worked with, of being racist for failing to invite me to their weddings or birthday gatherings. Unfortunately race has become such a touchy subject that one can hardly move without stepping on a racial toe. Perhaps it is time that the hysteria stops and all people simply carry on with their lives and earn a living, which is hard enough in this time of Covid. WILLEM DE HAAN Welgemoed
Fisantekraal not neglected As local ward councillor of Fisantekraal, I would like to respond to certain claims by Mr Timothy Wildschut in last week’s TygerBurger (“Fisantekraal neglected”, 25 November).
He is absolutely right in stating that residents have a right to services such as streetlights, and water and sanitation. What he fails to state, is that residents do not have the right to break down infrastructure as soon as it is fixed. There is not an area in the whole of Durbanville that receives more attention, capital and operational city budget, than Fisantekraal. We have a responsibility to ratepayers to spend their money well. If you spend massive amounts of money on the same things over and over again, it is considered fruitless and wasteful expenditure, not maintenance. I know Mr Wildschut only wants the best for Fisantekraal, but one must be conscious about your message in achieving this. The focus should be on behavioural changes within the community, not falsely letting the community believe they are being treated unfairly. If you are serious in bringing about change, statements should be based on facts and root causes addressed. RUAN BENEKE Ward councillor: Ward 105
Munisipaliteit in D’ville is vyfster Ek het op 27 November my motorlisensie by die Durbanville-munisipaliteit hernu en was baie beïndruk met die higiëniese hantering van publiek by dié kantore. Na die bediening van elke kliënt word toonbanke skoongemaak en die toegang tot die toonbanke word streng beheer. Baie dankie aan álmal wat ook pensionarisse met soveel empatie behandel. H.

KILLARNEY: KARTING CHAMPIONS CROWNED
Chequered flag raised A
iden Beaumont, Reese Koorzen, Reza Levy, Kyle Visser, Tate Bishop, Sebastian Boyd and Conor Hughes were crowned as the champions as the smallest class in karting, the baby Bambinos, starred at the Western Cape Rotax Max finale at Killarney in Cape Town on Saturday 28 November. Aiden Beaumont and Kai van Rensburg shared out the Bambino wins as Beaumont clinched a super close championship from title rival Van Rensburg. The two delivered a delightful season long championship charge. Behind them Michael Danks drove home third for the day from Siyabonga Ntuli, Liam Wharton and Matthew Roach. Sebastiano Human did enough to hold on to the title third in seventh and end up ahead of Ntuli and Danks, who pipped Wharton to the title fifth. Keagan Beaumont and Jordon Wadeley shared out the u.11 Micro Max wins as Beaumont took the day. Joshua Smit fought Dale Hobbs off for third ahead of Eric Norman and Sabelo Ntuli.
Tate Bishop won the Senior Max title. Reese Koorzen was however the biggest winner on the day despite not even racing. Karting requires drivers to drop their three worst scores of the season and with a second and two thirds to drop, not racing the final
added those points to Koorzen’s tally to sew up the title from Smit and Wadeley. The class of the day was however u.13 Mini Max, where Reza Levy, Joshua Smit and Ethan Deacon shared out the wins.
Durbanville gaan weer gedug wees SAREL BURGER Wanneer klubkrieket vroeg in Januarie weer op dreef kom, sal Durbanville weer een van die spanne wees om goed stem dik te maak. In ’n vriendskaplike wedstryd die afgelope Saterdag teen die sterk span van Rondebosch het die Durbies (144/4) met ses paaltjies geseëvier. Met Bradley Petersen (3/25) en Tashwin Lukas (2/11) aan die voor-
punt van Durbanville se boulaanval is Rondebosch vroegdag tot slegs 1 543 lopies beperk, waarna Jean Strydom (57*) en Bradley Barnes (51) met onder meer ’n derdepaaltjie-vennootskap van 66 lopies die knoop deurgehak het. Daar is terloops nog geen uitsluitsel oor wie van Durbanville en Rondebosch die WP se Premierliga-klubkampioen vir die vorige seisoen was nie. Die Durbies het ’n kortkop voor
die Kaapse span op die punteleer geëindig, maar Rondebosch het beswaar gemaak oor die oorwinning wat Durbanville in ’n ander wedstryd behaal het omdat die Tygerbergers van ’n ongeregistreerde speler in daardie wedstryd gebruik sou gemaak het. Die aangeleentheid is in Maart, na afloop van die vorige krieketseisoen, na die bestuur van Krieket Suid-Afrika verwys, maar is steeds onafgehandel.
Smit took the day from Levy and Deacon, with Jordon Wadeley, Jude Stuart and Eric Norman next up. Levy however did enough to ultimately clinch an easy championship ahead of Deacon and Smit. Ethan Stier beat Kyle and Andre le Riche, Matthew Wadeley and Reza Levy to high school u.15 Junior Max honours on the day. Kyle Visser was another driver to opt out of racing on the day to clinch his championship from Andre and Kyle le Riche and Wadeley. Tate Bishop knew what he had to do to add the 2020 WP Senior Max championship to his SA national title and he did just that. Bishop stormed to three wins in three races. He left the returning Kohen Bam to fight it out with Jason Coetzee for second. Jade Lanfear did enough to keep Andrew Rackstraw, who had a troubled first race, behind in fourth. Jade’s dad Guy ended sixth as Bishop and Coetzee topped the title chase ahead of the absent Charl Visser. Sebastian Boyd missed the weekend as he nullified his drop points
to add the Cape title to his national championship, leaving Jason Coetzee to have DD2 to himself. Behind him Conor Hughes delivered a trio of Masters wins over Jared Jordan and Andrew Thomas each time as Andre Steenkamp and Robert Peche fought over the crumbs. In so doing, Hughes clinched the 2020 DD2 Masters title from Jason Greyling, Jordan and Thomas. That wraps up the 2020 WP karting year, which conspired to deliver a fine season in spite of the rigours of lockdown. All that remains is the matter of the “Olympics of Karting” Rotax Max Grand Finals at the end of January. Cape drivers Sebastian Boyd, Tate Bishop and Keagan Beaumont will be among the Rotax Max drivers to represent South Africa in the Portimao, Portugal event. Then it all starts all over again with the first WP regional round, by when with a little luck, spectators will once again be able to enjoy the action from Killarney’s Kart Track stalls.
Nuwe sintetiese rugbyveld ingewy Wanneer skolerugbyspanne voortaan by die Curro-skool in Durbanville gaan besoek aflê, sal hulle in die Kaapse winterweer nie meer met modderbaddens en triestige toestande te doen kry nie. Die eerste volle grootte sintetiese rugbyveld in Suid-Afrika is verlede Dinsdag by dié skool ingewy. Op Stellenbosch is daar wel ook ’n soortgelyke kunsmatige rugbyveld, maar dit is net ’n kwart van die voorgeskrewe grootte. Daarby voldoen Curro se Brits-
ontwerpte “turftech”-veld, wat ’n hele paar miljoen rand gekos het, aan wêreldstandaarde. ’n Uitstekende spreiligstelsel sal binne afsienbare tyd ook aangebring word om wedstryde in die aand moontlik te maak. Mettertyd sal ’n spesiaal ontwerpte krieketmat in die middel van die rugbyveld aangebring word wat dit geskik sal maak vir wedstryde waarin laerskoolspanne deelneem. - Sarel Burger
