CASINO: 20 YEARS OF ENTERTAINMENT

GrandWest celebrates TARRYN-LEIGH SOLOMONS @tarryns07

I

t’s been just over 20 years since Sun International opened the doors of GrandWest Casino and Entertainment World.

The official opening day on 19 December 2000 saw 23 000 flock to the entertainment destination.

The first jackpot was R15 000, and was won

x2 FREE Pillows

shortly after opening, followed soon thereafter by the luckiest punter of the morning who won a R10 000 jackpot and then another R12 000 during his first hour on the casino floor. In an effort to celebrate two decades of existence, a small birthday lunch was held on Friday 11 December.

Prior to the Covid-19 lockdown, GrandWest attracted 550 000 visitors a month and on show nights staff routinely dealt with up

to 15 000 people passing through to visit the casino.

A statement explained the construction process of GrandWest, “The initial construction required 3.6 million bricks to be laid which equates to 1 000 houses. Over 50km of cabling was installed and a daily average of 300 cubic metres of concrete was sunk, the same as 50 ready-mix trucks lined up behind each other, pouring 15 tons of concrete each

day. “GrandWest also spent a further R38 million on road enhancement to complete the Vanguard Overpass Bridge and entrance to the complex. Substantial improvements, including safe pedestrian facilities, were made to the intersections of Vanguard Drive with Viking Way, Voortrekker Road and Denneboom Road, and Viking Way and Showground Road.

Kos en klere ingesamel vir boere in Noord-Kaap Die WP Veteraan Trekker en Enjinklub is tans besig om kos, klere en toiletbenodigdhede in te samel vir die boeregemeenskap in Loeriesfontein.

“Die droogte het baie boere op hul knieë gedwing. Daar is bitter min kontantvloei en baie van die gesinne sukkel om basiese benodigdhede aan te koop. Met die projek, ons tweede vir die jaar, wil ons die goedere insamel om die boervroue, kinders en ook plaaswerkers by te staan,” sê die klubvoorsitter, Hannes Rheeder.

Die klub het verlede maand R10 000 kontant aan boere geskenk om diesel aan te koop.

Goeie tweedehandse klere, nie-bederfbare voedsel en toiletbenodigdhede kan geskenk word.

Lockdown: The kids are not okay, parents say DESIRÉE RORKE @dezzierorke

W

ith the opening of schools extended to 14 February, the pandemic is taking a heavy toll on children.

As parents may have mixed emotions about the impact of schools opening so late in the term, children show their anxiety by throwing tantrums and displaying anti-social behaviour and depression.

A mother in Brackenfell tells of the impact lockdown regulations had on her nineyear-old daughter.

“My daughter has always had a strong personality, so much so that I sometimes worried that she was overconfident. But with lockdown her personality started to change,” says the parent whose name is not published to protect the identity of the child.

“When she had to go back to school last year, she did not want to and the things she said had me very worried. She started getting panic attacks and was referred to a psychologist who diagnosed her with social anxiety. She didn’t want to be around people at all and said things like ‘What does any­thing matter and why are we alive anyway?’

“Every day is different; some days better than others,” she says.

The identity of all the parents TygerBurger spoke to will be protected.

One such parent is very worried about her son.

“He is generally a quiet child, but its getting worse. He misses his friends and routine. He is tired of playing computer games and bored with himself,” she says.

Yet another parent spoke out about her two children.

R5 book sale at Home Durbanville Children’s Home will present a R5 book sale on Thursday 4 February and Friday 5 February from 10:00 to 15:00 at the home.

There will be a variety of books, including children’s books, text books and study guides. The sale will be held in the outdoor area of the children’s home. No mask, no entry.

Card facilities will be available.

9:00 AM - 13:00PM MASSIVE CLEARANCE SALE ON ALL CLOTHING, BRIC N BRAC & BOOKS.

“During hard lockdown my 11-year-old did not want to do anything and was paranoid about everything. Yesterday he told me, ‘Schools must open now, I cant handle this anymore’! His younger sister is very emotional as she misses her friends,” the mom says.

Several other parents TygerBurger spoke to say their children have shown behavioural changes mostly due to the fact that they are bored and miss interaction with their friends, and are prone to temper tantrums.

“My teenager ended up in the clinic last year and is currently on anti-depression medication. She was on a waiting list to get into the clinic as there were so many cases,” one mom says.

Dr Iqbal Karbanee, paediatrician at Cape Gate Mediclinic and CEO of Paed-IQ Babyline, says this behaviour may be a normal reaction under the current uncertainty.

Karbanee says it is essential to prioritise the wellbeing of your child or children during this uncertain time.

“We are seeing an increase in the number of children displaying unusual behaviour as a direct consequence of the circumstances brought on by the pandemic,” he says.

These changes can be very subtle, and may be mistaken for bad behaviour, rather than seen in context, which if not addressed correctly, could have a long-term negative impact.

Children under the age of three may be experiencing mood swings, nightmares, fidgeting or the sudden onset of bedwetting.

“I’ve seen this in my own child, who suddenly started getting nightmares of getting sick after eating food given to her by a stranger.

“This anxiety was a direct result of learning at school that she should not share food or cutlery because it may make her sick,” explains Karbanee.

He adds that children are having to un­learn many social norms, from “sharing is caring” to not sharing at all, given how the coronavirus is spread.

This can create confusion.

Young children that have not been going to crèche may become less confident in so­cial settings and even refuse to interact with their peers.

“Anxiety may turn usually sociable and playful children into clingy, tearful kids who instead of being happy to go to crèche, only want to sit on their mothers’ laps.”

How to identify anxiety in children “Parents know their children. Every child has a baseline behaviour. If they do something that deviates from their normal baseline set of behaviours, then it may very well be that your child is being impacted by the uncertainty brought on by the pandemic,” explains Karbanee.

Karbanee says it is also essential for parents to become aware of their own emotional states, as their own anxiety could spill over to the child.

“For school-going children, it is best to deal with it cognitively through reasoning or explaining to them and talking to them about what is happening; both around them and their own emotional state of being.

“For children who are in the process of developing their cognitive skills and cannot yet reason, it is best for the parents to be extra sensitive to their children’s needs,” he advises.

Survey for watch groups The City of Cape Town is inviting neighbourhood watches to participate in a survey to get a clearer understanding of the role mobile applications or other technology play in helping neighbourhood watches (NHWs) to keep communities safe.

The app survey which was released last week was sent to those neighbourhood watches using WhatsApp and Telegram platforms in their daily operations.

A statement reads that the objective of the current survey is to find out which platforms are already in use, how effective they are and to inform the City of the applications they use to communicate with the community and other crime prevention role players.

The City’s development team follows an inclusive process and will take into

consideration all feedback received from NHWs. The City’s Mayco member for safety and security JP Smith said it’s important to the City to hear directly from watch groups on what online and mobile applications they currently use as this will inform and drive the development of a City mobile app.

“The app will allow NHWs to improve on their response time, share valuable information and add value as an important link between the City’s enforcement agencies and the community.

“NHWs assist the City in our fight against crime and we will continue with the support and the development of programmes to further strengthen our priority to keep communities safe.”

Participation in the survey has now been extended to Friday 12 February.

Covid-19 claims professor T

he Western Cape government health’s forensic pathology services (FPS) last week announced with great sadness the passing of Prof Johan Dempers.

Dempers passed away on Tuesday 26 January after being diagnosed with Covid-19 nearly a month ago on Monday 21 December 2020.

“He was a colleague and a friend, and he played an integral part in the FPS team. He was passionate about forensic pathology as a pathologist and embodied the ideal example as a mentor and teacher. We convey our deepest condolences to his wife, son, daughter and extended family, as well as his FPS colleagues, his friends and colleagues within the division of forensic medicine, University of Prof Johan Dempers Stellenbosch as passed away recently well as the Tygerdue to Covid-19 berg forensic pacomplications. Here he thology laboratois with his son, Daniel. ry and beyond,” the department said in a statement.

“Dempers’ passing has left a huge void, both from an academic as well as a service delivery perspective. Colleagues are and will be struggling to come to terms with his untimely passing. He was part of the forensic pathology service executive team and no meeting will be the same again,” says Vonita Thompson, FPS director.

Dempers was born on 13 June 1969.

“We will remember him as a fierce forensic pathologist, discipline specific, honest and loyal to our profession, with the utmost integrity, an enthusiastic teacher and a consummate professional,” says Prof Lorna Martin, head of the clinical department of forensic medicine and toxicology at the University of Cape Town.

Under the current lockdown regulations, the R1.5 billion development is now restricted to only 50% of capacity.

General manager Mervyn Naidoo said GrandWest remains – to this day – an icon of the entertainment landscape. “We have adapted to the ‘new normal’. We have strictly implemented all of the Covid-19 protocols and we have seen our trading levels improving month on month.”

@tarryns07 With the current pandemic the country is faced with, M-Net’s Idols SA series will have a completely different composition for season 17 auditions.

To keep up with the spirit of social distancing, auditions will be held virtually.

Participants are required to create a video of themselves singing for 30 seconds.

According to a statement, it’s important for the participants to prepare their 30-second-long clip and all the relevant information before they log onto the Mzansi Magic website to submit their entry. “This new format gives people who could not get to the designated venues an opportunity they have been dreaming of.”

Gavin Wratten, the executive producer and director for SIC Entertainment which produces Idols SA, told TygerBurger that all participants will be informed about the status of their audition. “Every contestant who upload an audition will get numerous notifications informing them what part of the process their audition is in,” he said.

The online auditions platform opened on Friday 29 January. The submission portal will close at either 22:00 on Sunday 14 February or after the first 15 000 entries. Visit https:// mzansimagic.dstv.com/show/idolssa/season/16/auditions to enter.

In the case of staff members testing positive, Naidoo said the employee would be required to quarantine while tracking and tracing immediately gets underway. “Other staff members who came into contact with them might also be required to quarantine, or be monitored and tested depending on the level of interaction. A specialised cleaning team decontaminates areas.”

Naidoo said business in general is muted given the 50% floor capacity. “The ban on serving alcohol and significantly reduced operating hours as a result of the curfew have also affected operations.”

GrandWest Casino and Entertainment World celebrated 20 years of existence on 19 December 2020. The doors officially opened on 19 December 2001. In an effort to celebrate the milestone, GrandWest hosted a small lunch on 11 December in line with Covid-19 regulations.

RECEIPT OF AN APPLICATION FOR THE PROCUREMENT OF A FINANCIAL INTEREST

M

edical staff at hospitals across Cape Town are experiencing a change of scenery when their shifts change – in the form of bagpipes.

Members of the Cape Town Highlanders Pipe Band Association have started playing at different hospitals to pay tribute to those frontline workers battling the Covid-19 pandemic.

Mike Taljaard, the band officer of the association, who lives in Panorama, says their first hospital concert took place last week at Mediclinic Louis Leipoldt hospital in Bellville.

A total of 14 of the 32 members of the band took to the streets in front of the hospital, playing old bagpipe band favourites like Scotland the Brave and Amazing Grace.

Staff of the hospital and passersby gathered in front of the building and took videos, while others stood in windows or the raised staff parking area, looking down.

Taljaard says a highlight was when an audiologist came to speak to them, amazed to hear a band of pipers and drummers playing together.

“And it’s nice when people clap hands.”

Louis Leipoldt was their first hospital of choice, because of one the members’ wives working there.

Once they got the all-clear to play there, they started contacting other hospitals in the area.

They played from 18:30 to 19:15, as this is when the shifts change and

SLICE OF LIFE

Jy kán help, al sukkel jy ook “Ek weet ons almal sukkel, maar ek lê in my bed vanaand en huil snot en trane want my besighede survive nie ...”

Só lui ’n onlangse sosialemedia-inskrywing van ’n goeie entrepreneursvriend.

Ons hoor elke dag hoe een of ander bedryf aan die kortste end van die grendelstaat trek – gister was dit die toerismebedryf, vandag is dit die wynbedryf, môre boerderye ... invoer omdat vervaardiging wêreldwyd agter is, en so gaan die lys aan.

Wie nou eintlik die ergste deurloop, is ’n raaisel, maar as jy my vra, dan is dit entrepreneurs en kleinsake-eienaars – die ouens wie se ondernemings se sukses vanaand die kos op die tafel sit – wat in die nood leer bid.

Dag ná dag hoor ek hoe eienaars van kleinsakeondernemings – dié wat nog nie gevou het nie, of soos Die Boer tydelik hul deure moes sluit nie – slapelose nagte het oor hoe hulle einde vandeesmaand net salarisse gaan betaal, om nie eens te praat van die res van hul onkostes nie.

Die werk wat inkom en produkte wat verkoop, is eenvoudig net te min en die appeltjie vir die dors is lankal op.

Daardie reserwes is in die vroeë inperkingsvlakke – 4 en 5, en vir sommige selfs die eerste vlak 3 – aangewend om salarisse en ander noodsaaklike onkostes te dek terwyl daar geen inkomste was nie omdat hulle belet is om handel te dryf.

Sommige sakelui het selfs hul eie salaris prysgegee net om hul werkers te betaal, selfs al is daar nie gewerk nie.

“Want hoe moet ek rustig slaap as ek weet die enkelma van vier op wie ek altyd kan staatmaak, se kinders moet vanaand honger gaan slaap omdat ek haar nie kon betaal nie?” klink een so ’n sakeman se woorde nog helder in my agterkop. Hy kon onder vlak vier al ’n permit bekom om weer sy onderneming oop te maak, maar dit het nie juis veel vir sy winsgrens beteken nie omdat hulle slegs werk vir ’n handjievol ander wat ook ’n permit gehad het, kon doen.

Dan is daar entrepreneurs wie se produkte en dienste se sukses gebou is met bloed, sweet en passie. Die einste een met wie se woorde ek ingelei het, het jare gelede nee dankie gesê vir ’n loopbaan in die korporatiewe wêreld om sy passie te volg. Die huidige realiteit is egter, sy produkte vlieg nie meer van die rakke soos vantevore nie. Nie omdat die gehalte daarvan gedaal het of daar skielik iets beter op die mark is nie, maar waarskynlik omdat mense se kooppatrone verander het.

Sien, die grendelstaat raak ook Jan Alleman se sak. Party mense moes met ’n salarisverlaging tevrede wees, of is nou werkloos. In só ’n geval trek jy maar die gordel styf en koop slegs wat nodig is om te oorleef. Die lekkernye, unieke en luukse produkte, selfs oulike kledingstukke en ander tierlantyntjies – die wat met bloed, sweet en passie geskep is – beland nie meer in die winkelmandjie nie.

Dit is waar, almal sukkel. Ondernemings sukkel, want hulle word óf deur regulasies ingeperk óf mense het eenvoudig net nie meer die geld om hul produkte en dienste te bekostig nie. Jan Alleman sukkel omdat hul sukkelende werkgewers drastiese stappe met salarisse moes neem. Dit is ’n kringloop wat nie maklik of gou (as jy na die ekonome luister) gebreek gaan word nie.

Volgende keer wanneer jy voor die winkelrak staan, ondersteun plaaslik en koop eerder die produk wat jy weet deur ’n klein onderneming vervaardig is.

Een persoon alleen mag dalk nie ’n verskil maak nie, maar as ek en jy dit albei doen, help dit baie.– Cecilia Hume

“Sy produkte vlieg nie meer van die rakke soos vantevore nie ... waarskynlik omdat mense se kooppatrone verander het.”

Beaches reopen: People across Cape Town took part in a peaceful protest action on Saturday 30 January against the government's decision to ban people from using beaches. Pictured are protestors at Bloubergstrand. Some of the people who took part in the protest went for a walk on the beach. Some even decided to go surfing. Police officials had their hands full and at least two people were arrested and taken to the police station where they were released with a warning. President Cyril Ramaphosa has since announced on Monday evening that a decline in the number of new cases meant the country could begin to ease some of the restrictions under level 3 lockdown. Public places such as beaches, dams, rivers, parks and public swimming pools has been reopened under strict health protocols.

‘Dromkrappers’ probeer ook maar net oorleef Ek verwys na die brief van 27 Januarie (“Herwinning ’n probleem, TygerBurger).

Liewe Dicky Liebenberg, dankie vir jou eerlikheid en bydrae tot die gemeenskap oor herwinning. Ek is self ’n voorstander daarvan om nie herwinbare artikels weg te gooi nie.

Hoewel, ek stem nie saam met jou dat jy na mense as “dromkrappers” verwys nie.

Daai dromkrappers is ook mense net soos ek en jy.

Het dit al ooit in jou gedagtes opgekom hoe vernederend dit vir daai mense moet wees om daagliks in die dromme te gaan staan en krap? Dan hoop hulle maar net dat hulle ietsie daaruit

kan kry om te gaan ingee vir ’n skamele paar rand.

Hulle is nie so geseënd soos van ons nie.

Natuurlik is daar mense wat in die dromme krap en die vullis net so los, en as hulle gesien word, berispe hulle natuurlik! Ek het al gesien die meerderheid vat en maak toe sonder om te mors.

Ek wil net graag weet, dink jy jy is beter as enige ander siel op hierdie aarde om na sekere mense te verwys as “dromkrappers”?

Hulle is mense net soos jy wat ’n lewe probeer maak en al uitweg wat hulle tans sien is om in asblikke vir herwinbare produkte te krap. Soos ek al gesien het, het hulle

maar al hul trots in hul sak gedruk en die uitdaging aangepak.

Gaan eerder op jou knieë en dank die Here dat jy nie vanmôre voor sonsopkoms moet rush om die eerste een te wees met die hoop dat jy darem iets uit daai drom uit gaan kry om vandag te oorleef nie.

Mnr. Dicky, dit gaan nie soseer oor jou klagte oor die dromkrappery nie. Die feit dat jy na ander mense verwys as “dromkrappers” het my die bogenoemde boodskap laat skryf omdat ek glo elke mens op die aarde het ’n doel, maak nie saak wat nie.

Dankbaar vir biblioteek, personeel se puik diens Daar is altyd soveel negatiewe stories, maar vandag het ek ’n baie positiewe storie om te vertel.

Ek is ’n lid van die Bellville-biblioteek. Ek het weke gelede ’n boek bestel waarvoor ek moes wag aangesien ander mense voor my die boek bestel het.

Verlede week het die biblioteek my laat weet ek kan nou die boek by hulle

afhaal. Ek woon in ’n aftreeoord naby die biblioteek, maar moet ’n vriendin vra om my daarheen te neem.

Toe ons daar kom, is die biblioteek gesluit – seker weer as gevolg van Covid. ’n Paar dae later kry ek ’n oproep van ’n dame met die naam Jolene Collins. Sy het my gebel omdat ek al so lank vir die spesifieke boek wag.

Toe ek my omstandighede aan

haar verduidelik, het sy onmiddellik verduidelik dat sy die boek vir my sal bring waar ek woon. Sy was so vriendelik om die boek ’n paar uur later vir my af te lewer. Uitstekende diens, baie dankie Jolene!

Ek vind al die personeellede en selfs die karwag, lewer vriendelike diens.

Thanks to everyone who helped to save puppy “Firefighters rescue pup from sewer line” (TygerBurger 20 January) refers. I would like to commend and thank the people involved in giving this

pup a second chance at life in Ruyterwacht. Thank you to the family who heard the puppy’s distant cry from their toilet. They could’ve ignored

the crying for help but they acted on their faith to save the pup. Thank you to the fire crews from Epping and Goodwood. Thank you to

For virtually the whole week (25-30 January) the street lights in Cambridge Street, Goodwood were burning during the day. It could have been in surrounding streets as well, I don’t know but it wouldn’t surprise me. Previously the municipality’s excuse was that they are checking for dead street lights! Now on Sunday evening there are no street lights burning. How do they explain this? It is a laugh a minute! Over and over.

Art fresco on promenade The photo of the art fresco at the Sea Point promenade (“Unity”, TygerBurger 27 January) refers. Shame, what a waste of labour and materials, since only seagulls and skydivers could get a view of it. I walked on the promenade last week and all I could see was an ugly looking lawn, brown silvery colour. No art work could be distinguished from a person’s view point.

Reusegatsby voed 16 mense BRENDEN RUITER @ruitervaniewind

H

et jy al ooit gedroom van ’n reusegatsby waaraan jy kan eet en eet, en dit nie kan op kry nie?

Wel, daardie droom kan nou bewaarheid word as jy na MCD Pizza-en-wegneemetes in Eersterivier gaan en hul Undertaker-gatsby bestel. ’n Gatsby is ’n eg Kaapse dis, oftewel daait, wat bestaan uit ’n broodrol gevul met aartappelskyfies, blaarslaai en bykans enigiets onder die son.

Ja, ’n mens kry polonie-gatsbies en steakgatsbies en snoek-gatsbies en, en, en. Op ’n goeie dag, en as jy genoeg geld het, kan jy ’n Fullhouse-gatsby koop. Dit is gevul met slaptjips, slaai, steak, kaas en ook eier. Om bykomende geur aan jou gatsby te gee, kan jy kies tussen verskillende souse. ’n Gatsby word gemaak om deur vriende gedeel te word en hierdie delery lei gewoon-

Is daar genoeg plek? Klante probeer om hul gatsby in die motor te laai.

lik tot ’n stryery. Met die Undertaker hoef daar nie meer onder mekaar gestry te word nie.

Volgens Johan Joseph, eienaar van MCD, is die gatsby groot genoeg sodat almal genoeg kan kry. “Die Undertaker is meer as drie meter lank en bevat 2 400 g slaptjips. Dit word bedien met ons spesiale sous, wat dit nog meer geur gee,” sê Joseph.

Dit is sy liefde om vir mense kos te gee wat hom gedryf het om met die massiewe gatsbies te begin.

“Ek was in die lugmag en het vyf jaar gelede afgetree. Omdat ek nog jonk van gees is, het ek gewonder waarin kon ek my pensioen belê. Ek en my vrou het eenkeer in ’n restaurant gesit en eet en toe die rekening kom, was dit astronomies. Die idee het by opgekom dat ek graag baie mense wou voed vir so min geld as moontlik. Die geleentheid om die eetplek oop te maak het hom voorgedoen en het ek gespring,” sê Joseph.

Hy het ’n groot liefde vir rofstoei en het besluit om sy eerste groot gatsby na The Great Khali te noem. “Hierdie een het groot aftrek gekry en ek kan op ’n naweek so 50 van hulle verkoop. Ons het redelik onlangs eers met die Undertaker (nog ’n rofstoeiheld van Joseph) begin en ek is seker hy sal ’n treffer wees sodra mense daarvan bewus word. Sestien mense kan aan hom smul.”

Waar kry hulle ’n broodrol wat meer as drie meter lank is? “Dit was nogal ’n soektog.

Uiteindelik het ek ’n bakker gekry wat bereid was om vir my ’n vorm te maak om die broodrol in te bak. Ek is seker die Undertaker is die grootste gatsby in die Kaap, want ons personeel moet die klante help om dit in hul motors te laai,” spog Joseph.

Residents are encouraged to continue accessing essential health services at the City of Cape Town’s clinics.

According to a statement from the City’s health department several overflow facilities opened in July last year to increase capacity at clinics and to ensure continuous services amid the Covid-19 pandemic.

“We currently have 34 overflow facilities at our clinics and it is heartening to see residents continue to access our normal services and adhering to their health schedules, such as immunisation and antenatal and family planning services.

While the current Covid-19 situation has impacted every aspect of our lives, and requires us to adhere to additional health protocols, there is still screening for HIV and TB, as well as medical checks for chronic conditions that need to be done and medication that needs to be collected,’ said the City’s Mayco member for community services and health, Zahid Badroodien.

By November last year there was a dramatic increase in the number of patients diagnosed with hypertension and diabetes, as well as the number of women who had cervical smear tests done (as opposed to June).

The number of children under one year

who were fully immunised remained stable at an average of 3 100 children per month. The number of first antenatal visits remained stable at an average of 2 100 per month.

Badroodien said the overflow facilities became necessary to enable adherence to Covid-19 protocols and to continue general service delivery.

“Some of these services are critical such as child immunisations and visits by clients with chronic conditions. Other services also continue and residents are encouraged to visit the clinics when they need to.”

The City’s health department has an appointment system. Patients are given a date and a time for their appointment based on their preference, appointment availability and urgency of care.

The system includes all non-acute services.

Residents should arrive 15 minutes before their appointment. Expect to be screened for Covid-19 symptoms. Only the person in need of the service should attend. Wear a mask and ensure it covers your nose and mouth at all times. Adhere to social distancing. Stay at home if you are not well on the day of the appointment and inform the clinic that you are unable to attend.

Help needed for Cape chicks KAILIN DANIELS @k10daniels Sanccob’s Cape Town centre is currently rehabilitating well over a thousand Cape cormorant chicks after a mass abandonment by their parent birds on Robben Island.

This after a three-day rescue operation last month to capture and transport more than 1 700 abandoned chicks by boat and then road to the Sanccob facility in Table View.

Sanccob says their Penguin and Seabird Ranger – employed in partnership with Robben Island Museum – monitored the breeding birds on the Island and after hours of observing the chicks exposed to predation and extreme heat, a decision was made to intervene and collect the chicks to ensure their survival.

“The chicks were in very poor condition on arrival, suffering from dehydration, malnourishment and severe heat exhaustion, and on 12 January began the chronicle of a wildlife response that is the second largest seabird rescue in the Western Cape since the MV Treasure oil spill of 2000,” Sanccob says.

Sadly, approximately 9% of the rescued chicks died during transport or within the first 24 hours of admission.

How can you help?

Sanccob is currently battling with the fish, veterinary supplies and rehabilitation consumables needed to give every chick a chance to survive and one day bolster the wild population of Cape cormorants with

chicks of their own. . Donate towards fish and medical supplies. . If you prefer to donate in-kind, visit their Takealot Wish List. . Volunteer at the centre if you are locally based and have time to spare. Call 076 682 5130 for more information. . Share our social media posts – more followers aware of the progress and needs means more people to connect with to support our cause.

“We are grateful for the support received thus far in light of the worldwide impact of Covid-19.

“Skilled professionals and veterinary staff of collaborating rehabilitation facilities have volunteered their expertise and time and we appreciate the support.

“Volunteers have come forward to prepare fish plates, attend to cleaning stations and assist with laundry.

“We have also been privileged to have individuals, corporates, foundations, and zoos and aquaria donate while overcoming their own adversities, and for every donation we are thankful.

“Our first temporary aviary has been erected to accommodate bigger chicks and provide them room to spread their wings.

“Going forward, we will need additional structures to house the growing birds and will keep you informed as the chicks progress,” Sanccob says.

EERSTERIVIER: OUERS SPOOR HOM AAN

Sportnuusleser inspireer jonges BRENDEN RUITER @ruitervaniewind As jy hard werk, is daar niks wat in jou pad staan om sukses te behaal nie. Só glo Percivale Young, sportnuusleser op eNuus en een van Eersterivier se voorste uitvoerprodukte. TygerBurger het met Young gesels oor sy drome, lewenslesse en sukses.

1. Jy is ’n sportnuusleser op televisie, dus ’n openbare figuur. Het jy as kind gedroom om eendag bekend te wees?

Ek kan nie sê ek het gedroom om eendag bekend te wees nie, maar ek het wel gehoop om eendag ’n goeie werk te kry om vir myself te sorg. Ek moet ook bieg dat ek in ’n stadium ’n akteur in ’n aksiefliek wou word – en seker só bekend te word. Daardie droom het toe nie so lekker uitgewerk nie. Tog doen ek so twee of drie keer per week bietjie “toneelspel” as ek op die kassie verskyn.

2. Jy was eers ’n joernalis. Verduidelik hoe jy in die nuuswêreld beland het.

Snaaks genoeg was die joernalistiek nooit een van my loopbaankeuses op skool nie.

Totdat daar die een dag in standerd nege (deesdae graad 11) ’n driedaagse joernalistiekkursus by my hoërskool in Mitchells Plain aangebied is. My ouers het my in 1994 na die Senior Sekondêre Skool Princeton toe gestuur met die hoop dat ek ’n elektriese ingenieur sou word. Die nuuswêreld het my gebyt en ek het gevolglik ná my matriekjaar joernalistiek aan die Skiereilandse Technikon (deesdae Kaapse Skiereiland Universiteit van Tegnologie) gaan studeer. Oor die drie jaar het my nuuskierigheid vir stories en stories vertel nog verder gegroei. Nadat ek my nasionale diploma verwerf het, het ek vir ’n kort tydperk as ’n junior joernalis by Rapport in Kaapstad gewerk. Ek het kort daarna ’n geleentheid by die Kaapse Son gekry en as sportjoernalis begin werk. In 2009 het ek die geleentheid gekry om by die Engelse televisiekanaal eNews te gaan werk. Destyds kon ek nie ordentlik Engels praat nie, maar ek het die geleentheid met albei hande aangegryp. Ek was vir sewe jaar ’n sportjoernalis vir eNews en het ook vir vyf jaar as

Percivale Young, boorling van Eersterivier, is elke aand omstreeks 19:00 op die kassie. joernalis vir eNuus gewerk. In 2018 het ek as sportnuusleser by eNuus begin.

3. Put jy genot uit jou werk?

Dit is ’n baie uitdagende beroep, want jy moet daagliks die dag se grootste sportnuus in minder as vyf minute saamvat en dit boonop op die mees kreatiewe manier aan die kyker weergee. Ek geniet dit baie.

4. Ons doen gereeld stories oor Eersterivier en jammerlik is dit gereeld negatief. Voel jy dat jy ’n voorbeeld is dat jou omgewing nie bepaal waar ’n mens in die lewe eindig nie?

Wel, ek hoop regtig so. Ek is maar een van tientalle talentvolle produkte wat uit Eersterivier kom en steeds in die gemeenskap doenig is. Nes Eersterivier het elke gemeenskap maar sy uitdagings – werkloosheid, bendes, dwelms en oor die algemeen net hope maatskaplike probleme. Maar ek glo as daar ’n wil is om jouself te bemagtig en jy mense om jou het wat jou ook aanspoor, dan kan jy iets

positief van jouself maak. Maar om uit jou sogenaamde omstandighede te kom verg ook baie opofferings. So byvoorbeeld moes ek baiekeer my vriende in die steek laat as daar partytjies bygewoon is. Daar is ’n tyd vir lekker tye en dan is daar ook ’n tyd vir skouer aan die wiel sit.

5. Wie inspireer jou?

Soos ek vroeër gesê het as jy mense om jou het wat jou ondersteun, dan kan jy jouself ook uit jou omstandighede kry. In my geval het ek ouers gehad wat baie, baie opofferings gemaak het om my deur die skool en basiese tersiêre opleiding te kry. Hulle het my vir ’n groot deel van my lewe aangespoor om hard te werk sodat ek eendag op my eie voete kan staan. En daarvoor sal ek hulle ewig dankbaar wees. My ouers het byvoorbeeld nie die voorregte gehad wat ek en my kinders vandag het nie; tog het hulle jare lank in ’n fabriek en vir die spoorweë gewerk om seker te maak ek en my twee susters kon ons skoolloopbaan voltooi. Ek kan nie onthou dat my ouers ooit gekla het oor hul omstandighede nie, maar hulle was altyd baie streng oor skool en daarvoor sal ek hulle ewig dankbaar wees. Selfs meer belangrik is die manier hoe my ouers hul lewens gelei het. Hulle was ’n voorbeeld vir ons as kinders. Ek hoop my lewenstyl gaan eendag ’n toonbeeld vir my eie kinders wees.

6. Watter boodskap het jy vir jong kinders van Eersterivier wat dalk sukkel om te glo dat hulle hul drome kan bereik?

Ek verstaan heeltemal dat almal se omstandighede verskil. Baie jongmense in Eersterivier het dit dalk nie so maklik soos Percivale Young dit gehad het nie. Tog glo ek as daar ’n wil is om jou droom te bereik, dan kan jy dit doen. Vir sommige van ons beteken dit egter dat ons bietjie harder moet werk en meer opofferings moet maak. Baie mense het vir my gelag en mense lag nou nog vir my, maar ek kon nie toelaat dat dit in die pad van enige van my drome kom nie.

Die mense wat nou nog vir my lag, lag deesdae met ’n glinster in hul oë, want as hulle my deesdae op die televisie sien, dan besef hulle daai man is van ons gemeenskap.

Cyclists reminded to stick to rules of the road Most cyclists have been yelled at or ill-treated by a driver at some point.

“Cyclists don’t obey the rules of the road,” is one of the most common arguments drivers use to justify their behaviour.

Sometimes justifiably so.

“It doesn’t matter where or what you ride, please give respect to be respected,” said chair of the Pedal Power Association (PPA), Steve Hayward.

Recently two cyclists collided with one another on the very popular Chapman’s Peak Drive owing to one of the cyclists losing control at high speed and causing the crash. The one cyclist rode away from the scene of the crash without even enquiring if the other rider was fine.

The PPA receives regular complaints about cyclists’ behaviour on the road towards fellow riders and motorists.

“We appeal to all cyclists to comply with all traffic laws and Covid-19 lockdown regulations. Let’s be courteous towards all road users and be part of the solution, not the pro-

blem,” Hayward said.

Some useful tips for cyclists when sharing the road with other riders and drivers: Observe the latest level three lockdown regulations (as at time of print) for cycling: . Cyclists are able to continue training but not in groups; . Cycling is currently restricted to between the hours of 05:00 and 21:00 daily unless you are an essential worker and have a permit; . Masks are not required when exercising vigorously, but cyclists must keep a distance of 1.5m away from any other person. A mask needs to be worn at all other times; . Ride in single file and only pass other cyclists when it is safe to do so. Cycling two or more abreast in the road is illegal and is one of the practices that give motorists reason to be frustrated with cyclists; . When overtaking another cyclist do so on the right with an audible verbal warning.

Other cyclists do not expect you to pass on

their left-hand side; . Cycle predictably and use hand signals so other road users know what your intentions are. Make life easy for drivers to predict what you’re going to do, and you will find it easier to stay safe; . Observe traffic signals, stop and yield signs and pedestrian crossings. If you want to be respected as a road user, you need to cycle responsibly; . When you reach a red traffic signal or stop sign, you should wait behind a cyclist who is already there. For some cyclists it seems to have become the norm to pass and stop in front of the rider ahead, even if it involves doing so in the middle of a pedestrian crossing or in the actual intersection well ahead of the traffic light. This is an incredibly offensive practice; . Don’t cycle against traffic. Riding in the opposite direction on the opposite side of the road is extremely dangerous; . It is illegal to cycle with headphones.

The law only permits hearing aids to be in

Geen sport res van somer SAREL BURGER Die huidige viruspandemie het nóg ’n uitklophou geplant.

Met versigtig gekose woorde het die WP Krieketunie (WPKU) so pas in ’n skrywe alle wedstryde en toernooie op amateur- en skoolvlak gedurende die res van die huidige somerseisoen “verbied”.

Die verwagting is dat die ampsdraers van die ander vernaamste somersportsoorte spoedig soortgelyke aankondigings sal maak.

Die skrale kans wat daar was dat amateur- en skolekrieketkompetisies vandeesmaand sou plaasvind, is die nekslag toegedien weens die tweede virusvlaag die afgelope weke.

En terwyl gemeen is dat die somersportseisoen tot in Mei “gerek” sou kon word, is daar nou selfs sprake van ’n derde vlaag van die pandemie binnekort.

Uit ’n praktiese oogpunt is die “ongelukkige” besluit van die WPKU heeltemal te verstane.

Afgesien daarvan dat alle munisipale sportgeriewe en velde tans buite perke is, sal dit ook binne die volgende paar maande nie vir sportlui toeganklik wees nie, aangesien dieselfde terreine dalk deur die beoefenaars van die wintersportsoorte benut sal wil word.

In so ’n geval sou dit onder meer meebring dat die krieketbaanblaaie nie na behore voorberei en behandel kon word met die oog op enige wedstryde nie.

Ander faktore wat deur die WPKU aangevoer word ten opsigte van die kansellasie van enige voorgenome krieketwedstryde in die komende weke, is “ontwrigtings” as gevolg van die Paasnaweek en die maand van Ramadaan.

Indien die pandemie onder beheer gekry kan word, sal dit beteken dat die amateur-somersportbeoefenaars nou eers teen September of selfs Oktober mekaar eers weer die stryd sal kan aansê.

your ear. Don’t hinder your ability to hear warnings and approaching dangers; . During events (which were still on hold at the time of print) riding in a group means you need to think about what other cyclists expect you to do. The perfect group will be a seamless body of movement and this is, in part, due to the awareness of the riders. The natural extension of this is holding your line. If you must take the hit and ride through that small pothole, do that. Just don’t flick the bike around and weave all over the place – nobody can predict that, and you’ll eventually cause a crash; . Don’t overlap wheels. This is like sitting in someone’s blind spot when driving.

You know you’re there, but they might not.

And if they move out slightly and touch wheels with you, one or both of you are coming down. The best places to be are behind, beside or in front of someone else, never overlapping wheels. Unless the group consists of experienced riders who know that you are riding half a wheel behind.

“Let’s all cycle responsibly, respect and greet others, and make it enjoyable and safer for all cyclists and easier for the cycling community to grow,” Hayward concluded.
