WESBANK: INWONERS KAN KOMMENTAAR LEWER

Plan vir informele handel BRENDEN RUITER @ruitervaniewind

I

nwoners van Wesbank en omgewing het tot 20 Junie tyd om kommentaar te lewer op ’n voorgestelde informele handelsplan wat deur die Stad Kaapstad voorgestel is.

Ingevolge die plan gaan alle informele handel op een plek in die gemeenskap gekonsolideer word. Ibrahim Sawant, raadslid vir wyk 19 waaronder Wesbank val, sê die plan is daarop gemik om ekonomiese aktiwiteit in die gemeenskap te aktiveer.

Van die plaas na die tafel

From the farm to the table

“Ons wil ’n raamwerk saamstel om ekonomiese en handelsgeleenthede vir die mees kwesbare ondernemings in die gemeenskap te skep. Wat dit beteken, is dat ons ’n omgewing wil skep waar handel in ’n georganiseerde en veilige omgewing kan plaasvind.

“Handelaars sal permitte ontvang en gereguleer word en ook aan veiligheidsvereistes moet voldoen. Hierdie gaan ook help om grondeienaars te beskerm op wie se grond informele handel onwettig bedryf word,” sê Sawant.

Volgens Sawant is informele handelaars

MINI-MARK

reg oor wyk 19 versprei.

“As alle handelaars op een plek is, sal dit beteken die gemeenskap kan net na een plek gaan om sake te doen. Klein ondernemings is die hartklop van ons gemeenskappe en ’n manier om armoede te verlig. Inwoners sal ook presies weet waar om watter produkte te kry en hoef dan nie na plekke buite hul woongebiede te gaan nie,” sê Sawant. ’n Gedeelte van die R250 000 wat vir die handelsplan begroot is, gaan aangewend word om die Ulundi-plaza in Wesbank op te knap.

“Ek wil ’n beroep doen op alle inwoners – nie net eienaars van sakeondernemings – om hul insette te lewer voor die sluitingsdatum. Ons voorsien dat hierdie plan ’n reuseekonomiese inspuiting vir die plaaslike ekonomie gaan wees,“ sê Sawant.

Stuur ’n e-pos na samantha.october@capetown.gov.za of besoek Stad Kaapstad se webtuiste by www.capetown.gov.za om kommentaar te lewer. Mense met gestremdhede en diegene wat nie kan lees of skryf nie, kan 021 400 9808 bel en sal gehelp word om hul kommentaar in te dien.

et slegs graad 7- en 12-leerders wat op 1 Junie terug skool toe kan gaan, sit menige ouers nou reeds vir maande met hul hande in hul hare oor die bykomende Covid-19-las van tuisonderrig.

Die Onafhanklike Skool Curro in Durbanville is een van talle plaaslike skole wat sedert die begin van die nasionale inperking aanlyn onderwys aanbied. Dié skool het dit ’n stap verder geneem en bied deur middel van verskeie platforms soos veral Microsoft Teams klas in virtuele klaskamers aan. Onderwysers gee klas byna nes hulle in ’n klaskamer sou doen, maar net aanlyn.

Dirk van Zyl, uitvoerende hoof, het gesê dit het onderwysers in staat gestel om met die kurrikulum voort te gaan.

“Ons sien uit na die dag dat ons leerders weer almal fisies in hul klaskamers is, maar tot dan sal ons voortgaan om hul lesse met afstandonderrig aan te bied,” het hy gesê.

Die skool bied nou ope dae aan, waar ander ouers eerstehands kan ervaar hoe dinge by dié skool aanlyn gedoen word. Ouers kan die skool by 021 975 6377 kontak vir ’n gratis proeflopie.

Die skool bied ouers die geleentheid om dan hul kinders in te skryf vir aanlyn onderrig en hulle sal dan hul skoolloopbaan by Curro Durbanville voortsit as klasse vir alle grade hervat word.

Na wat TygerBurger by ouers en onderwysers by ander skole verneem, word virtuele klasse ook by die Hoërskool Stellenberg en die Laerskool Eversdal aangebied. Leerders kry ook huiswerk wat hulle moet doen en dan inskandeer sodat dit gemerk kan word. Toetse word ook só afgelê.

Ook die Hoërskool Durbanville is besig om oor te skakel na onderrig op die Microsoft Teams-platform.

Tot dusver is verskeie ander platforms

soos Google Drive, Whatsapp en Zoom gebruik. Leerders wat nie data of internet het nie, kry harde kopieë. Leerders wat nie data het nie, is ook daarvan voorsien.

Ook by die Voorbereidingskool Durbanville en Laerskool Durbanville doen onderwysers hul weeklikse beplanning op Zoom.

Lesse, werkkaarte en Powerpoint-notas word weekliks op Google Drive vir leerders gelaai of per WhatsApp gestuur.

Te midde van hierdie omwenteling in onderwys, het Curro Holdings ook nou sy voltydse aanlyn skool Curro Online bekendgestel. Dit volg op die DigiEd-onderwysmodel, wat ook onlangs bekendgestel is, het Jay Paul, Curro Online se sakebestuurder, verlede Vrydag in ’n mediaverklaring gesê.

Dis ’n heel nuwe konsep waarin leerders pleks van skool toe gaan, al hul onderrig voltyds aanlyn bekom. Die kurrikulum fokus op wiskunde, wetenskap, kodering en robotika.

“Soos die samelewing nou agterkom, het Covid-19 die wêreld vir altyd verander en het die behoefte aan aanlyn onderrig ge-

groei,” het Paul gesê.

“Curro het hierdie behoefte geïdentifiseer by ouers wat sukkel om hul kinders se tuisonderrig met hul eie werk te balanseer.

“Baie ouers is ook bekommerd daaroor om hul kinders terug skool toe te stuur, veral diegene met gesinslede met onderdrukte immuniteitstelsels.

“Hierdie is nie tuisonderrig waar ouers die verantwoordelikheid van toesig moet neem nie, maar aanlyn onderrig wat ooreenstem met Curro se aangepaste Caps-kurrikulum,” het Paul gesê.

Aanlyn klasse word deur onderwysers van Curro aangebied. Leerders kan kies tussen ’n gestruktueerde tydrooster of meer buigsame opsie vir leerders wat teen hul eie pas wil werk. Buitemuurse aktiwiteite kan by enige bestaande Curro-skole gedoen word.

Curro Online word in Engels vir die grade 4 tot 9 aangebied. Meer grade sal elke jaar ingefaseer word. Matrieks sal die Independent Examinations Board (IEB)-eksamen aflê. Besoek www.curro.co.za of stuur ’n e-pos na info.online@curro.co.za met navrae.

Covid-19: Vullis later verwyder RICHARD ROBERTS @richardjohn_rj Huishoudelike vullis is verlede week dwarsoor die stad ietwat later verwyder as normaalweg – in party dele ’n dag of twee later.

Dié vertraging is veroorsaak deurdat gevalle van Covid-19 by die Woodstockverwyderingsdepot, sowel as die depot in Mitchell’s Plain, aangemeld is, volgens die Stad Kaapstad. Die depots was tydelik gesluit. Persone wat in kontak was met die werkers, is ook onder kwarantyn geplaas om hulself vir enige simptome te monitor. Die fasiliteite en die vragmotors is ook gereinig.

In ’n verklaring verlede week het die Stad aangedui dat gebiede wat deur die depots gediens word, vertragings mag ervaar.

In Monte Vista en omliggende gebiede is dromme laat Dinsdag, Donderdag en Vrydagoggend vroeg nog deur die Stad se vullisverwyderingsdienste leeg gemaak.

Inwoners daar is egter vroeg reeds deur die Monte Vista- en Plattekloof Glen-belastingbetalers- en inwonersvereniging van die verwagte vertraging in kennis gestel.

Riana de Wet, sekretaris, het die nuus op sosiale media met die inwoners meegedeel.

Inwoners is versoek om geduldig te wees en hul dromme buite te laat tot die vullis verwyder is.

“Ons het bewus geraak van depots wat tydelik gesluit is en dat sekere gebiede dalk geraak sou word. Ons wou seker maak of ons ook geaffekteer gaan word en ek het die hoof van ons depot gekontak en die inligting ontvang soos deurgegee.

“Hierdie mense is onder geweldige druk; die publiek is uiters onverdraagsaam en ons wou dus verseker dat ons belastingbetalers bewus is van die probleem en nie onnodige verdere druk op die depot plaas nie,” sê De Wet. Monte Vista en die res van wyk 1 word gediens deur die Goodwood-verwyderingsdepot. Dis onduidelik of die depot deur gevalle van Covid-19 geraak is en hoe erg die agterstand die depot affekteer.

Kontrakteurs is glo aangestel om te help met die verwydering van vullis, sê De Wet. Cheryl Visser, wyksraadslid, sê met die huidige stand van sake rondom die Covid-19-pandemie is dit moontlik dat van die noodsaaklike dienste enige tyd geraak kan word, wat weer ’n impak sal hê op dienslewering.

“Die bestuur van vaste-afval doen hul uiterste bes om wel die werk in te haal,” sê Visser.

MTN Canal Walk decontaminated MTN has confirmed that its store at the Canal Walk shopping centre was closed last week, following an employee testing positive for Covid-19.

Mthokozisi Ndlovu, MTN’s communications and public relations manager, said the store was closed for deep cleaning and sanitising and was reopened with a completely alternate sales team. We can confirm that our store located at Canal Walk shopping centre in the Western Cape was temporally closed after one of our employees tested positive for Covid-19. All store employees were sent for testing, and will only be allowed

back at work once their results have returned negative. Employees that may have tested positive will need to be declared fully recovered and have served the two weeks quarantine period before returning to work,” Ndlovu said. Cellphone shops were closed in the first part of lockdown, and in mid-April were allowed to open only to “qualified tradespersons”.

Ndlovu explained that MTN is working with the relevant authorities to track and trace customers who may have engaged with the potentially infected employee.

Bouwerk aan die reusepizza-oond is onlangs voltooi.

Burger het die dimensies verskaf en Italoven in Brackenfell het dit gebou.

Sowat 100 Kapenaars het reeds ’n bydrae gemaak om ’n baksteen te borg, wat gebruik is in die bou van die oond.

Altesame 4 288 bakstene is gebruik en die oond het ’n binnemaat-deursnee van 3,4 m – die grootste in die wêreld, volgens Burger.

Die fondsinsamelingsprojek sal tot in September voortduur.

In ruil vir die borgskap sal elke donateur se naam op ’n metaal baksteentjie verskyn, wat langs die oond aangebring sal word om sy deelname te verewig.

“Die rekord is nog nie amptelik deur Guinness aangeteken nie as gevolg van die wêreldwye inperkings. Ons hoop om dit spoedig gedoen te kry,” sê hy.

Al die donasies van die baksteenverkope is ten bate van liefdadigheid.

About the Koeberg Public Safety Information Forum

Section 26(4) of the NNR Act states that “The holder of a nuclear installation license must establish a public safety information forum as prescribed in order to inform the persons living in the municipal area in respect of which an emergency plan has been established on nuclear safety and radiation safety matters.”

What is the Public Safety Information Forum (PSIF)?

The PSIF is a meeting which takes place four times a year. It is used as a platform for residents within the municipal boundary of Koeberg Nuclear Power Station, to enquire about and receive nuclear safety related information from the facility.

Which topics are discussed?

The forum will address any topic that the members feel could impact their health, environment, and safety from a nuclear emergency preparedness point of view.

Who should attend?

All persons living within the municipal area around Koeberg, all affected and interested organisations or parties, and any other persons concerned about their health and safety from a nuclear and radiation safety point of view are welcome to attend the forum. Persons wishing to attend are requested to register as a member.

How do I register?

Kindly email your details, i.e. full name, contact number, organisation (if applicable) or indicate whether you are a resident, to JoshuaD@eskom.co.za or contact tel. +27 21 550 4238.

Grace period for licences still apply

Provincial health minister Nomafrench Mbombo speaking at the launch of the Ubuntu Cloth Mask initiative in Goodwood.PH

If you were unable to renew your vehicle or drivers’ licence because of the lockdown, there is no need to panic.

Licence registration offices remain closed and will be opened in a phased manner in accordance with national health and safety regulations.

Mayco member for finance, Ian Neilson, says they are looking at a staggered opening of registration offices from June when safety measures are in place and when full access to the national traffic information system (Natis) has been gained.

Lockdown-related grace periods apply to driving license applications and renewals, learner’s licences, temporary permits, professional driving permits, roadworthy certificates and the registering and licensing of a vehicle, and annual renewals.

Ubuntu Cloth Mask initiative launched TARRYN-LEIGH SOLOMONS @tarryns07

P

rovincial health minister Nomafrench Mbombo launched the Ubuntu Cloth Mask initiative at the Coconut Jazz factory in Goodwood on Tuesday 19 May. The public-private initiative was coordinated by WoW! (Western Cape on Wellness) in partnership with The Health Foundation, Coconut Jazz and other organisations.

Coconut Jazz co-owner Fiona Hoadley told TygerBurger many of the factory workers were without jobs after lockdown was announced.

“About two weeks after the start of the lockdown we tried to come up with something that would give back to the community. We wanted to keep our own staff busy and create employment opportunities within the disadvantaged communities.

“We approached the provincial department of health and proposed to make and

sell masks. Seamstresses from vulnerable communities will receive an income from manufacturing the masks.”

The purpose of the initiative is to provide free quality masks to children and adults in vulnerable communities in the province.

The campaign aligns with the #ShareTheLove campaign which seeks to highlight the work being done by people living in the province to help each other through the Covid-19 crisis.

Mbombo said she is happy to be part of the initiative. “This supports what we have been calling for, adherence to non-pharmaceutical interventions such as wearing of masks in public because this virus spreads through droplets.

“The wearing of masks in public is one of the interventions we can use in preventing the spread.

“I’m grateful for all the partners that contributed to the success of this initiative. Our communities will be protected because of their generous gesture.”

Pakkie-diewe aangekeer CARINA ROUX Vyf verdagtes is aangekeer nadat ’n afleweringsvoertuig op Woensdag 20 Mei in Skoolstraat, De Kuilen geroof is.

Sers. Liezel Beukes, woordvoerder van die Kuilsrivier-polisie, sê beamptes op patrollie het omstreeks 10:50 reageer nadat ’n oproep ontvang is.

Die bestuurder van die voertuig is ongedeerd op die toneel gevind.

Volgens die man, ’n werknemer van RAM Couriers, het hy ’n pakkie by ’n adres in Skoolstraat afgelewer. Toe hy terugkeer na die voertuig, het twee mans hom met ’n vuurwapen gedreig, die sleutels afgevat en

weggery. Daar was ’n onbekende aantal pakkies binne die afleweringsvoertuig.

Die verlate voertuig is sonder die vrag pakkies op die hoek van Luikie- en Kerkstraat gevind. Volgens ooggetuies het die verdagtes verder in ’n swart Ford Fiësta gevlug.

Sektor-bevelvoerders op patrollie het die swart Fiësta op die Polkadraaipad naby die Zevenwacht-winkelsentrum opgemerk. Die voertuig is genader en met die hulp van wetstoepassingsbeamptes afgetrek.

Die gesteelde pakkies is in die voertuig gevind. Vyf mans, almal in hul dertigs, is in hegtenis geneem en het op Vrydag 22 Mei in die Blue Downs-landdroshof verskyn.

The validity period for the renewal of a motor trade licence is extended for a further six months after the Level 5 or Level 4 lockdown has ended.

In response to misinformation circulated on social media about the issuing of “temporary” roadworthy certificates during the national state of disaster, the provincial department of transport and public works said in a statement there is no such thing as a temporary roadworthy certificate.

No vehicle testing stations have been given permission to resume roadworthiness testing. No motor dealers or vehicle finance institutions may accept such a document. Only when a vehicle testing station has been given permission to reopen will any roadworthy test it performs be accepted by the Natis system.

Multimillion rand development to resume DESIRÉE RORKE @dezzierorke

M

assive construction sites at Brackengate 2 industrial park in Brackenfell will soon be abuzz again as the private construction sector opens on 1 June.

The site was left deserted when development was halted at the start of the nationwide lockdown.

At the time, 58% of the development which provided employment to 450 people was completed.

Provincial minister of finance and economic opportunities, Da-

vid Maynier visited the site on Wednesday 20 May to meet with Tyrone Kleinjan from VDMW property development and Mark Jacobs from Redefine properties.

When finished the park will be home to international pharmaceutical giant Roche (“Boost for Business”, TygerBurger 4 March) and South African retail company Massmart’s distribution centre.

The Massmart group comprises nine wholesale and retail chains, which include Makro, Game and Builders Warehouse.

Construction at Roche started in February 2020 and once com-

ed 100,000 direct and indirect jobs could be lost due to the impact of Covid-19.

And so, we will be working closely with the sector to help them implement the necessary health and safety measures on construction sites ahead of alert level 3,” he said.

However, should the spread of the infection not be contained, particularly in a hotspot such as Cape Town, it could be moved back to level 4 of even 5.

Maynier says the sector contributes approximately R32 billion to the Western Cape economy

and plays a critical role in attracting fixed capital investment to the country to support economic growth.

“The construction sector was already under pressure pre-Covid 19, having contracted by 3.3% in real terms on 2019. It is estimated that in the Western Cape the sector could experience a further contraction of approximately 41% in 2020, followed by a 10% contraction in 2021 as a result of current restrictions.

“This translates to a loss of R12.9 billion in 2020 and R3 billion in 2021,” he said.

pleted will comprise a diagnostics office, laboratory and production capacity. Each development has a commercial value of R436 million and R173 million.

On Monday, Maynier welcomed the announcement by President Cyril Ramaphosa that the whole of South Africa will be moving to alert level 3 from 1 June 2020, and that the construction sector will be allowed to resume activity under alert level 3, as it is critical to saving jobs and the economy in the Western Cape.

ESMÉ ERASMUS @erasmusesme ’n Ingenieursfirma het in samewerking met ’n plaaslike argitekspraktyk ’n laekoste-ventileerder ontwikkel wat groot verligting kan bied in hierdie tyd van Covid-19 en die tekort aan ventileerders.

EPCM Holding, ’n internasionale firma met sy hoofkantoor in Pretoria, het die ventileerder ontwerp vir gebruik in Afrika gedurende krisistye, sê Menno Gazendam van Kaapstad, sakeontwikkelingsbestuurder van EPCM Holdings.

Die ontwerp van die ventileerder se prototipe is deur E+S Argitekte, ’n argitekspraktyk in Durbanville, geteken. “Met die koronavirus-pandemie is daar ’n wêreldwye tekort aan ventileerders. Daar is ook be-

perkings op lande wat dit vervaardig en hulle mag dit nie uitvoer nie.

“Daar is firmas in Suid-Afrika wat ventileerders maak, maar hulle word beperk deurdat onderdele van oorsee ingevoer moet word. Ons het dit aanvanklik ontwerp vir Covid19, maar die fokus nou is meer op die algemene verwagte tekort in Afrika in die volgende paar jaar,” sê hy.

“Die idee is nie om komplekse ventilators te vervang nie, maar eerder om laekoste-ventilasie te verskaf aan pasiënte wat nog nie intensiewe ventilasie benodig nie,” sê hy.

Hoewel EPCM Holding spesialiseer in werk in die olie- en gasbedryf soos by pypnetwerke en tenks, “is dit as ingenieursfirma ons werk om probleme op te los en het ons al talle ander produkte ontwikkel”, sê hy.

Die ventileerder is spesifiek ont-

werp vir gebruik in Afrika – om ’n bekostigbare robuuste apparaat te wees, waarvan die onderdele maklik vervang kan word.

“Dit is iets wat maklik self onderhou kan word deur iemand sonder veel tegniese kennis,” sê hy.

Volgens hom is die prototipe-ventileerder klaar en ondergaan dit tans toetsing vir goedkeuring by die South African Health Products Regulatory Authority (SAHPRA). Dit kan egter nog lank vat, ongeveer twee maande, vir goedkeuring voordat dit vervaardig en verkoop sal kan word. “Daar is baie wetgewing waaraan voldoen moet word,” sê hy.

Bestellings vir die ventileerder is egter reeds ontvang vanaf Mosambiek, Ghana en Nigerië, sê Gazendam. Die koste daarvan beloop ongeveer R35 000.

Total of 421 health care workers infected RICHARD ROBERTS @richardjohn_rj

T

ygerberg Hospital says it has enough personal protective equipment to ensure the safety of its nursing and medical staff.

This comes after two nurses working at the institution had passed away recently after contracting the Covid-19 virus. The nurses are Ntombizikhathi Ngidi and Anncha Kepkey.

Laticia Pienaar, hospital spokesperson, told TygerBurger Ngidi served for five months at the hospital while Kepkey had served for 30 years.

“Both of them were working in an emergency medical ward,” Pienaar says.

No memorial services were held.

“A candle light ceremony was however held on 8 May for Nurse Ngidi and this Friday (22 May) another candlelight ceremony will be held for the professional nurse Kepkey,” Pienaar said last week.

This week the provincial health department said that since the start of the pandemic they have had 421 health care workers infected, sadly losing six colleagues but also seeing 274 recoveries to date.

“We have plans in place to ensure uninterrupted health care continues when our staff are required to isolate or quarantine,”

the department said in a statement on Monday. A total of 29 doctors, 178 nurses and 214 other health workers have been infected so far. Pienaar says the infection and prevention control measures are up to standard in wards at Tygerberg Hospital and that staff had been provided personal protective equipment to ensure their safety and that of the patients.

“We would like to advise that the hospital should not be seen in isolation from the provincial plan in managing the Covid-19 pandemic. This is an integrated plan, leveraging all available resources in the province,” the department of health says.

“The total number of beds in the whole system needs to be considered,” the department says. A week ago 124 patients were admitted to the ICU or high care in both the public and private hospital, including the 23 at Tygerberg Hospital. A total of 488 patients were in both the private and public sector facilities’ general care. The department said that the increase in the number of cases has also resulted in additional pressure on their health service, with the hospitals experiencing a rapid increase in admissions and ICU care.

Bless-a-Baby with nappie bags, goodies ESMÉ ERASMUS @erasmusesme

D

espite the limitations of the current lockdown, the charity organisation Bless-a-Baby is going full steam ahead in its quest to supply mothers of newborn babies with necessities.

According to Glynne Rosselli, chief executive officer of Bless-A-Baby, there is a much bigger need than ever for their nappy bags filled with necessities, due to the Covid-19 pandemic causing many people to lose their jobs.

“We are very busy. We have a specific demand for basic necessities for premature babies. It seems that the threat of the coronavirus forces mothers into premature labour,” she said to TygerBurger.

More than 19 000 bags have been handed over since the start of Bless-a-Baby in October 2002 by members of El Shaddai Christian Church. The project consists of women from all over who meet every week to sew nappy bags and fill them with basic necessities such as nappies, clothes, knitted items and toiletries.

“To adhere to lockdown restrictions, only a limited amount of women are now packing the bags at the same time,” Rosselli said.

Despite being limited during lockdown, Bless-a-Baby managed to extend its service to two more hospitals, Eerste River Hospital, a district hospital in Blue Downs, from just before lockdown, and Bishop Lavis Day Hospital since 13 May. The bags are distributed at another eight hospitals, including Karl Bremer Hospital, Kraaifontein Day Hospital, Tygerberg Hospital, Wesfleur Hospital in Atlantis, Durbanville Clinic, Paarl Provincial Hospital, Mow-

bray Maternity Hospital and Delft Maternity and Obstetrics Unit.

In a newsletter Linda Hodgkinson, administrator of Bless-a-Baby, said their workroom reopened on 15 April after all the necessary safety measures were put into place.

“In addition to our usual work, we were also approached by the #TygerbergBabyDrive project to help them pack bags with the donations two sisters Pauli and Emma van Heerden had collected in collaboration with Hale Yoga Online.

“The first drop-off at Tygerberg Hospital for this project was on 28 April, with 50 packed bags and again on 1 May, when 100 bags were dropped off for the new mothers who have to give birth in these difficult times.

There are already another 150 bags waiting in the wings to be delivered,” she said.

“We are incredibly grateful for all the support we continue to receive during lockdown from all our supporters, and some have gone the extra mile to ensure our work can continue,” Hodgkinson said.

Bless-a-Baby is in need of essential items for their bags and asked for donations of gently used or new baby clothes for newborns up to three months old and also between three to six months old, winter clothing in particular. “We always need facecloths, receiving blankets and toiletries for the moms and babies as well. Please think of us when you clear out your cupboards,” she said. People can also knit or sew items for the bags. There is pre-cut fabric for sewing with full instructions available for this purpose. However, financial donations are always welcome, and are the most practical during social distancing,” she said.

Nurse awarded: Mediclinic Louis Leipoldt recognised professional nurse Ziyanda Fokazi as the annual Nursing Excellence Award recipient. The significance of this award is noted in that nominations are made by nursing peers who work tirelessly alongside each other. Fokazi works in the neonatal intensive care unit. "Ziyanda always puts her patients and their parents first in everything she does. When it comes to her patients, nothing is too much and she is always willing to volunteer for an extra shift,” says Hermien Everts, the hospital’s patient experience manager.

Vervoerondernemings vir skole moet dalk toemaak BRENDEN RUITER @ruitervaniewind Al open skole ook op 1 Junie, sal sekere skoolvervoerondernemings dalk nie meer bestaan nie.

Só sê Cheryl Solomons du Toit van Blackheath, eienaar van ’n vervoeronderneming wat skoolkinders tussen Blackheath en Kuilsrivier vervoer.

Skole in die land is reeds sedert Maart toe nadat pres. Cyril Rama-phosa die staat van inperking afgekondig het. Leerders in gr. 7 en gr. 12 moet op 1 Junie terugkeer skool toe.

“Ek is al 25 jaar in die vervoerbedryf en het verlede jaar begin om hoërskoolkinders te vervoer.

“Sedert die inperking het ons geen inkomste uit skoolvervoer verdien nie, want dit sou onregverdig wees om ouers te laat betaal vir ’n diens wat ons nie kan lewer nie.

“Skoolbusse mag nie vol wees nie, dus weet ek nie of dit vir ons die moeite werd gaan wees om aan te gaan nie,” sê Solomons du Toit.

Naomi Snyders, ook die eienaar van ’n

vervoeronderneming, sê dit gaan baie moeilik wees om hul onderneming suksesvol te bedryf met die regulasies wat in plek is.

“Ek sal verskeie kere moet ry as ek al die kinders wil vervoer, want ons mag nie meer die busse vol laai nie. Ons moet ook handreinigers koop, wat nog bykomende druk op ons gaan plaas. Wat gebeur as ’n kind wat in ons bus was die virus opdoen? Gaan ons blameer word? “’n Mens moet alles in ag neem en dan ’n besluit neem, maar ons oorweeg dit sterk om nie meer aan te gaan nie,” sê Snyders.

Jacques Davids, wat leerders uit Wesbank na Malibu en Eersterivier vervoer het, sê die inperking het hom en sy gesin op hul knieë gedwing. “Ek doen skoolvervoer en my vrou bedryf ’n crèche, dus was daar geen inkomste sedert die skole toegemaak het nie. Daar is baie dinge wat ek in heroorweging moet neem, want in my 16-sitplekbus mag ek net 10 leerders laai.

“Ek weet nie eens of ek die pretrolgeld kan dek nie. Ek is egter dankbaar dat ek Maandag met vyf kinders kan ry, sodat ek net ’n brood kan koop,” sê Davids.

CORONAVIRUS/COVID-19 VERSORGING VAN HAWELOSES Met die leuse, Een Stad Tesame, het ons dit reggekry om gedurende die inperkingstydperk die verreikendste dienste in die land aan haweloses te lewer.

Saam met die bestaande skuilingsnetwerk het Kaapstad skuiling gebied aan twee maal soveel hawelose persone as die hele Gauteng.* Deur aanvanklik ons beperkte Stadshulpbronne op die tydelike skuiling in Strandfontein toe te spits, is die volgende moontlik gemaak: • • • • • • •

1 352 hawelose persone het chroniese behandeling vir TB, MIV, diabetes, hoë bloeddruk en epilepsie ontvang.

272 mense is vir TB getoets, waarvan 24 behandel en in isolasie geplaas is.

1 858 mense het Covid-siftingstoetse ondergaan, waarvan 66 getoets en in isolasie geplaas is.

Meer as 120 mense is met behulp van reïntegrasiedienste met hulle families herenig.

4 500 maaltye is daagliks aan hawelose persone by die fasiliteit gegee.

2 000 matrasse en komberse is onder almal uitgedeel.

Psigo-maatskaplike dienste is as deel van die rehabilitasieproses aan middelmisbruikers gebied.

Die Stad help nou in vennootskap met nieregeringsorganisasies om ’n skuiling te vind vir elke hawelose persoon wat tans by die Strandfontein-fasiliteit is en gewillig is om hierdie aanbod te aanvaar.

Die Stad bedank die mense van Strandfontein vir die leen van hulle sportkompleks wat na sy oorspronklike gebruik herstel sal word.

Terwyl ons gereed maak om die tydelike skuiling te sluit, werk ons daaraan om beddens by bestaande skuilings te vermeerder en saam met die Provinsie veilige ruimtes vir haweloses dwarsoor die stad te skep. * Nasionale departement van maatskaplike ontwikkeling se verslag aan die Parlement, 23 April

oseph Swartbooi, spokesperson of the Bishop Lavis police station, says he is an overcomer as he won the fight against the coronavirus.

WO Swartbooi (54), from Glenhaven, says Friday 8 May is a day he’ll never forget. He woke up just after 05:00 that morning to prepare for the working day. “I’m very passionate about the work that I do but on this specific morning I woke up feeling very sluggish. My body felt tired. It felt as though I just wasn’t ready for the day.”

He arrived at the police station after 06:00, but says he never had the urgency to complete his work that morning. “I could feel my body wasn’t right. It felt as though I was

day 14 May. “I had no coughing or high fever.

However, the day before I started feeling ill (Thursday 7 May) I cleaned my office. When I sprayed the air freshener, I couldn’t smell anything. I believe the loss of my sense of smell was another symptom,” he explains.

At the time of the interview with TygerBurger (Friday 22 May), it was day 12 of quarantine. “I’m feeling ‘A for away’.”

He returned to work on Monday 25 May. “My support structure at home was amazing and the people of the church which I belong to continued to encourage me. Brig Jones also contacted me on a daily basis to make sure I was recovering well, and for all of this I’m immensely grateful.”

Swartbooi went for a follow-up Covid-19 test on Saturday 23 May. On Monday 25 May he contacted TygerBurger and said, “I won the battle by the grace of God. My blood tests came back negative. I am so relieved.”

Jones said decontamination took place at the police station as soon as they were informed.

Moet kerke inkomste-modelle verander?

Covid-19 cases increase in ward 55

BRENDEN RUITER

KAILIN DANIELS

@ruitervaniewind Moet kerke dalk hul inkomste-modelle ter wille van oorlewing verander?

Dit is die vraag wat gevra word omdat kerke in Maart hul deure moes sluit ná pres. Cyril Ramaphosa die nasionale inperking aangekondig het. Hy het Sondagaand aangekondig kerke mag nog nie in vlak 3 van die inperking oopmaak nie; dus bestaan die vermoede dat kerke se geldsake nog vir ’n rukkie benard gaan wees. ’n Ouderling by een van die kerke in Silversands sê die inkomste van die kerk het met meer as 90% gedaal.

“Almal sukkel en ek vermoed mense se eerste fokus is nie op die kerk nie, want hulle het ander behoeftes. Wat mense uit die oog verloor, is dat die bestuur van ’n kerk vir geboue moet betaal en ander uitgawes het.

Niemand het die pandemie sien kom nie; so

dit is niemand se skuld nie.

“Ons hoop net van harte dat dinge eersdaags na normaal gaan terugkeer,” sê die ouderling, wat verkies om anoniem te bly.

Past. Charles George van die House of Compassion-kerk in Delft sê hul kerk se model het ’n buffer teen moeilike ekonomiese tye. “Ons kerk is nie afhanklik van gemeentebydraes om staande te bly nie. Die kerk bedryf verskeie ondernemings in die gemeenskap en verkry sy inkomste daaruit. Elke sent wat ons van die gemeente kry, word weer net so teruggeploeg in die gemeenskap.

“As ’n kerk gebou is op die inkomste uit sy lidmate, sal enige terugslag dit ten gronde laat gaan. Ons verskaf onder meer internetdienste en bedryf ’n kollege. Daarby verhuur ons ook eiendomme. Jy kan nie verwag dat mense moet betaal om die evangelie te ontvang nie. Hierdie virus kan nog lank met ons wees en as dit die geval is, kan baie kerke toemaak,” sê George.

@k10daniels The number of Covid-19 cases continue to increase in ward 55, with over 60 confirmed cases.

Fabian Ah-Sing, ward 55 councillor, revealed a breakdown of the confirmed Covid19 cases in his ward last week, saying that he is extremely concerned that residents are not taking any precautions for their safety.

“My biggest worry is that everyone knows about the virus, but there is still a lack of taking the necessary precautions. For example, residents and businesses on Koeberg Road act as if there is no virus at all and don’t wear any face masks. Also, I’ve noticed that some residents still don’t know how to wear a mask. They continue to wear masks which only covers their mouth and not their nose,” Ah-Sing said.

Ah-Sing explained that he received com-

plaints of residents not practising social distancing at the Albow Gardens Clinic, resulting in security guards becoming overwhelmed.

“These regulations have been put in place in order to slow the spread of the virus so that our healthcare system is not overwhelmed by a sudden spike. If people do not adhere to them, they are putting their own lives, and the lives of others at risk,” he said.

According to Ah-Sing, the spread of Covid19 has also hampered service delivery in ward 55, with delays in waste collection.

This is due to two employees who have tested positive at the Woodstock collections depot. However, the City has since requested residents to take out their waste bins on the next scheduled removal day.

“I encourage the residents of ward 55 to observe social distancing, to wear face masks and to wash their hands regularly,” Ah-Sing added.

NUUS

Woensdag, 27 Mei 2020

Huldeblyk aan predikant, akademikus AVRIL FILLIES My kennismaking met ’n medestudent, Eva Plaatjies, alombekend as Evy, in die lang ry om jou te laat registreer as ’n eerstejaarstudent aan die Universiteit van Wes-Kaapland op 6 Februarie 1976, het gelei tot ’n vriendskap van meer as 44 jaar met die Plaatjies-gesin van Wellington.

Ons almal is verslae oor die skielike heengaan van my vriendin Evy se suster, prof.

Mary-Anne Plaatjies van Huffel, op Dinsdag 19 Mei, maar vir my was sy nooit die professor of die vrou met die baie grade nie – net Anne soos ek haar leer ken het.

Ons albei het ook iets anders in gemeen gehad, naamlik om die eerste vroue te wees wat die mans se domein betree het – sy as eerste vroue-predikant in 1992 in die voormalige NG Sendingkerk, nou Verenigde Gereformeerde Kerk (VGK), en ek die eerste vrou in die land wat oor provinsiale rugby in 1984 begin skryf het.

Anne was een van sewe dogters van wyle Johannes en Jakoba Plaatjies, oorspronklik van Prieska, en koshuisouers by die Hoërskool Bergrivier op Wellington. Sy is die tweede suster wat oorlede is. Charmaine het haar vooruitgegaan.

Ek was ook deel van die tweede hoogtepunt in haar lewe, toe sy met Dawid van Huffel getroud is, en my oorlede ma, Christina de Lange, die kos vir die bruilof voorberei het.

Anne was ’n klein, saggeaarde persoon en jy het altyd geweet waar jy met haar staan.

Haar woord was haar eer, sy was ’n geduldige luisteraar en jou geheime was veilig by haar. Haar kenmerkende eienskappe was die glimlag wat sy altyd op haar gesig gehad het en die aansteeklike laggie.

Haar eerste beroep na Robertson-Oos se gemeente was nie ’n piekniek nie, weens vooroordele deur veral vroue in die kerk oor die vroue-dominee wat hulle bedien het.

Hier by prof. Mary-Anne Plaatjies van Huffel (middel) is Edna Pick (links), dr. Allan Boesak se suster, en Avril Fillies (joernalis en skrywer van die huldeblyk).

Destyds was dit nog ongehoord dat ’n vrou die preekstoel beklee en omdat sy so klein van postuur was, moes ’n bankie agter die preekstoel vir haar geplaas word as sy gepreek het, sodat sy die gemeente in die oë kon kyk.

Sy was bevoorreg om klas te loop by Willa Boesak, broer van dr. Allan Boesak, en prof.

Daan Cloete, wat haar albei op Robertson ingehuldig het. Sy het altyd vertel hoe albei haar ondersteun het tydens haar studies aan die destydse teologieskool by UWK en dat hulle albei altyd vir haar beskikbaar was as sy vasgebrand het.

Anne was ’n omgee-mens en haar gemeentelede op Robertson het eerstehandse ondervinding daarvan gehad.

Nadat sy die beroep na Kraaifontein ontvang het, het die inwoners van Wallacedene en Kraaifontein dieselfde deernisvolle vrou

en omgee-mens leer ken. Sy en Dawid het saam gewerk aan projekte om die inwoners van Wallacedene en ander gemeentelede op te hef en hul menswaardigheid aan hulle terug te gee.

Met Dawid se ondersteuning kon sy ook albei haar doktorsgrade voltooi, want hoewel albei in die bediening gestaan het, moes sy saans aan haar tesisse werk met die wete dat Dawid altyd byderhand was as sy dalk hulp nodig gehad het.

Sy het al haar stryde as predikant met hom gedeel en saam-saam het hulle ’n goue middeweg gevind om die stryde in oorwinnings om te sit – tot voordeel van almal in die gemeente.

Met haar aanstelling by die departement teologie op Stellenbosch het ek weer met haar ’n onderhoud gaan voer in haar kantoor, en sy was nog steeds dieselfde plat-op-

die-aarde Anne wat ek in 1976 leer ken het.

Ons het lekker gesels oor die goeie ou dae, haar troudag en hoe almal vergeet het dat die bruidegom (Dawid) nog niks geëet het nie, maar dat sy kan onthou dat my ma Dawid se bord eenkant gehou het.

Toe Doreen Morris, die vervaardiger van die program Diep Spore op kykNET, die insetsel oor haar doen, het Anne my gebel en gesê ek moet deel wees van die opname op Stellenbosch, want ek was daar toe sy haar eerste tree as predikant gegee het, en dat ek ook een van haar “susters” is wat daar moet wees.

Vir haar susters, Evy, Mara, Francis, Sylvia en Sharon, was sy die moederfiguur met wie elkeen sy vreugdes en pyn kon deel en sy het altyd ’n bemoedigende woord vir elkeen gehad.

Vir haar susterskinders was sy nie net hul tannie nie, maar ook ’n biegmoeder, die een wat hulle geleer bak en kook het en sy was altyd bereid om daardie ekstra myl vir hulle te loop.

Ek was altyd bly om langs haar te staan, want dan was ek langer as sy en sy het dan so ewe gesê: ek weet hoekom jy nou langs my staan, maar dis okay, ek bly lief vir jou.

Dankie vir jou mooi geaardheid, jou aanmoediging toe jy uitvind ek betree ’n manswêreld.

Min het jy geweet jy sou ook later ’n eerste wees, en vir jou susterskap en liefde wat jy mildelik met my gedeel het. Ons het nie mekaar se drumpels die afgelope 44 jaar deurgetrap nie, maar ek het geweet jy dra my op in jou gebede. Rus sag, liewe Anne, en dankie dat ek jou ook as ’n suster kon toeëien.

V Prof. Mary-Anne Plaatjies van Huffel is oorlede weens komplikasies tydens ’n operasie. Ten tye van haar dood was sy ’n professor in teologie aan die Universiteit Stellenbosch (US) en hoof van die Wêreldraad van Kerke (World Council of Churches). Sy word oorleef deur haar man, ds. Dawid van Huffel. Hulle het in Durbanville gebly en in Kraaifontein gepreek.

The Milnerton Baseball Club has started a food drive to assist the children in Dunoon who are part of the club. Seen here are members of the club who have received food parcels.

Milnerton Baseball Club starts food drive KAILIN DANIELS @k10daniels The Milnerton Baseball Club has started a crowdfunding initiative to raise funds for their food drive.

This comes as many destitute families have no income due to the lockdown and the club has since assisted to alleviate the needs of the community with an ongoing food drive.

The food drive, based on providing much-needed relief to the children and their families in Dunoon, has managed to raise funds and were able to deliver necessities for two weeks.

The club introduced baseball to the children of Dunoon in 2010 and is completely self funded, receiving no funds from any federation, government department or private organisation.

Jared Ratner from the club said the need for supplies to the children in Dunoon sparked the food drive.

“Like most South Africans, we were thinking of the implications that lockdown was going to have on the population as a whole, when our thoughts went to our

Rugby clubs sharing rich heritage online The Western Province Club Rugby season would have well and truly been underway had it not been for the lockdown, but that has not prevented clubs from interacting in the digisphere.

According to WP Club Rugby manager Danny Jones, they await their next directive from national government as well as parent body SA Rugby.

“The virus has not only had an impact on rugby but all sport globally.

“Due to the nature of the virus social distancing is required and with this protocol in place we’ve seen many sport codes shift their attention to the online space. To mitigate the physical activity requirement which is so needed by sports lovers some sports have begun competing online using some very clever technologies,” says Jones.

He explains that many clubs have increased their online presence, but have shifted from only sharing fitness tips.

“Even though the online fitness practices continue many clubs are now concentrating on building their online content.

“It’s fascinating to see how many clubs have gone into their archives and pulled out stories and pictures from the past.

“Clubs are sharing this online and it’s making for some rich and interesting interaction.

“It’s also been good to see that many of our clubs have enlisted the support of their regular volunteers that are a bit more IT savvy and have lent on them to support the digital migration, which again shows that that club rugby certainly has a place for everyone,” he adds.

Jones lauded clubs’ efforts to help the communities they serve, which TygerBurger recently reported on (“Clubs trying to assist players and families”, TygerBurger, 19 May).

“The concept of volunteering is nothing new to the world of WP Club Rugby.

“Volunteerism is, in fact, the fibre of our club structures whether it be administrative or operational and it’s in this space that it’s heart-warming to see how many clubs including players have been doing their best to support their neighbours with food and other essential support.”

Meanwhile, technical information relating to the game and the refereeing thereof has also been shared by SA Rugby’s online streams.

“In a recent video SA Rugby referee Rasta

boys in Dunoon. Our thoughts also went to the kids’ parents who are unable to work during lockdown and money has been tight. We had discussions on how we can help and thought of starting a food drive,” Ratner said.

The club has since managed with donations from the community to provide varying food packages for four weeks.

However, they are in desperate need of funds due to the low supply in food packages.

“We have managed to provide some form of food, including masks for the past four weeks. Last week was the first week we were unable to deliver anything. Government regulations now also limit what we are legally allowed to do, but the partnership with Change Makers will help us out. Change Makers Hub has assisted us for one of the weeks and they are doing awesome work in different communities,” Ratner added.

The crowdfunding campaign on BackaBuddy was created as another platform to assist with the food drive. For more information email Ratner at milnertonbaseball@gmail.com.

Rasivhenge presents a fascinating video on the tackle law, with some interesting information about the ‘Jackler’.”

Jones reminds clubs to continue with their respective referee recruitment drives and that each club is required to appoint two members from their club to join the referee’s society.

“From a Stormers perspective, our players remain active and training hard to return to play at an even higher level. The team has had to make some adjustments in the training department but continue to train with a view to the next game, even though we still wait to see when that might be,” says Jones.

“On a final note, we remind our members to fully comply with the lockdown regulations as we eagerly await the announcements from the government on regulations for sporting activities.”
