“E

veryday comes to you in perfect order.”

These are the words of a talented artist in Sunningdale, Reon Zeff (51) who stole the hearts of many with his sand sculptures – a craft he has been perfecting for 20 years.

This as the Covid-19 pandemic hit hard on artists pockets and new ways was found to earn an income.

faces light up. I’m always striving to bring joy to others. I’ve recently made a butterfly sculpture for a friend who’s mother passed away due to Covid. She really loved butterflies. The family then held a memorial service to honour her memory,” he says.

A resident in Bloubergstrand, Anele Fischer, says that Zeff is not only talented, but his warm heart is contagious.

“While a stroll last week, I saw this man with a huge sand sculpture and I went over to take a look. His beautiful sculptures is really a sight for sore eyes.

“This is my full time job and things have been really rough lately due to the Covid pandemic. Big contracts were cancelled and I ended up with no income. I don’t think people understand how badly this pandemic has been for artists. I thank God everyday for this gift and the chance to bring joy to others,” he says.

Passersby stand in awe of Zeff’s work, requesting their very own sculpture to be made and sharing the photos online.

away from the shoreline opposite Ons Huisie in Bloubergstrand, captured the hearts of residents in the Bloubergstrand and Milnerton area who shared photos on social media of Zeff’s work.

According to Zeff, his passion and craft of sculpting started at a young age.

“I’ve always loved sculpting. As a child, I was the first one in the sand pit and the last one to leave,” he laughs. However, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, people working in the arts and creative industries have been badly affected, with many unlikely to continue with their craft. For Zeff, this is no different.

skom has assessed the risks and the possible impact on its infrastructure and the provision of electricity as the tropical storm Eloise hit the eastern and northern parts of the country during the weekend.

Eskom said in a statement they have put contingency plans in place and their teams were on standby to do everything possible to mitigate these risks.

“Several plans are in place in anticipation of the storm, and Eskom is also covering a wider area than what is predicted by the weather specialists to ensure we are not caught off guard. The heavy rainfall and storms will hit most parts of Mpumalanga, where most of our power stations are situated and may reach Lephalale, where two of our other large power stations are situated.

These power stations have been alerted and have begun making preparations to implement the “wet coal” contingency plans,” the statement reads.

Typically, heavy rainfall for four or less days does not pose a significant threat to power station operations, but continuous heavy rainfall for more than four days does hamper coal handling at the power stations and the mines supplying them.

“There are some power stations in the Mpumalanga area that have been experiencing ash dam constraints. Continuous heavy rainfall over these power stations could hamper operations and recovery efforts already underway. The storm will also cross the transmission lines that import approximately 1 000Mw of power into South Africa from Cahorra Bassa in Mozambique. While these lines and towers were reinforced a few years back after flooding downed towers, the two lines do still remain vulnerable during a tropical storm such as Eloise,” Eskom said.

“Customers are requested to treat all electricity infrastructure as live and to report any fallen lines or pylons. We urge the public to be cautious of exposed cables, overhead power cables that may be damaged, collapsed or low-hanging as a result of the stormy weather conditions, vandalism and illegal connections. We ask the public to use electricity sparingly during the storm as to avoid unnecessary pressure on the system.”

FROM PAGE 1 Everything is done to perfection and he has such a unique gift,” Fischer says.

Gary Parker from Summer Greens says that while he was at Ons Huisie, he spotted the huge and beautiful sculptures.

“It is truly amazing how talented and crafted people are. To create something like that is really inspiring and everyone loves it,” Parker says.

Asked why he chose sand sculpting, Zeff told TygerBurger that materials usually cost an arm and a leg, but sand is free. “I’ve always loved sand – it’s organic and one can do so many things with it. Of course when

I do other sculptures for big companies, I use other material,” he says.

Zeff is opposite Ons Huisie in Bloubergstrand everyday except on Mondays. He has invited the community to attend a fundraiser this weekend in support of ILoveBoobies.

“This fundraiser is close to home as my mother had a mastectomy. I love doing fundraisers and giving back, especially to animal rescue organisations as well. Covid has not only been hard on artists, but on everyone,” he says.

During the school holidays most schools are targeted by vandals and criminals, as these premises are left unoccupied, says Gawie Venter, spokesperson for the District Group security company.

His comments follow a recent burglary at a high school in Bothasig.

Upon arrival at the school on Saturday 16 January, their security officer discovered that a window had been smashed and that wires were hanging from the window. The matter was reported to the Bothasig police.

“Maybe they seem an easy target. As a security company that is neighbourhood driven we take note of holiday periods and increase our visibility and patrols around schools and businesses.

“In our operational footprint we do about 99% of all day care centres, primary and high schools and churches. All of them have intruder detection systems installed, and are upgraded throughout the years to combat intrusion,” Venter says.

He says criminals normally go for outdoor aircon units and copper piping; ga-

rages where tractors or buses are parked for their batteries and cables, and the computer rooms at these businesses.

A computer and projector were stolen from one of the classrooms at the school in Bothasig, says Kerry Mauchline, spokesperson for provincial education minister Debbie Schäfer.

Last week she told TygerBurger that their Safe Schools followed up with the high school and that the principal advised that the burglary happened on that day.

She also confirmed that the case had been reported to the police.

Regarding the figures for the total number of burglaries at schools during the holidays, the department will only be able to provide this once the holidays are complete, Mauchline says.

“With no one present at schools over the holiday, many incidents are only discovered when school management teams return to school to prepare for the term, and assess their school properties.

“Once I have that information I will share it with you,” Mauchline says.

TygerBurger is still waiting on comment from the Bothasig police.

Giving back, one cupboard at a time NIELEN DE KLERK @nielendk

Volunteers involved in the Feed5000 Scheme.

Surge of hunger on the streets DESIRÉE RORKE @dezzierorke

T

housands of meals were provided to the ever-growing population of homeless people on the streets of Cape Town in recent weeks.

With the Feed5000 scheme, an initiative run by The Hope Exchange, volunteers and donors managed to serve 11 516 meals between 12 December and 17 January at feeding kitchens in the city.

According to the provincial government, it is estimated that there are about 5 000 homeless people in the greater Cape Town area with an estimated 700 in the central business district.

“Although it has been a challenging period, we are grateful that we were able to serve these meals, surpassing the 10 463 meals served last year,” says spokesperson Sharnelle Cader.

Continued feeding of the homeless naturally means an increased risk of spreading

the virus, but not continuing it will result in the homeless community going hungry.

“We at The Hope Exchange realise our current circumstances require extraordinary measures to curb the spread of infections as this affects all of us, but what do we do in complex situations like these?

“We need to keep each other safe, whilst still doing what we can to support those hardest hit – the homeless being one of them,” says Cader.

“The outcomes are bleak no matter which way you look at it. We needed to find a balance, as we believe there has never been a greater need to give hope and serve those who are hungry and alone especially amid a worldwide pandemic. Covid-19 protocols were tightened to ensure the homeless and volunteers were kept safe receiving food, a safe place to wash themselves and their clothes in the morning and a wholesome meal in the afternoon.”

Volunteers at Ladles of Love in Goodwood and RPJ Helping Hands supported the initiative. The organisation is entering its 40th year of service, supporting the homeless community with short term services such as food, shelter, ablution, basic health care and social care support.

“The ultimate goal is to create contact points with the homeless individual to give them a stepping-stone to reintegrate back into society and reuniting with their families,” says Cader.

What started as a hobby has turned into an organisation teaching others to help themselves.

Johan Schronen (59) from Kenilworth learnt carpentry at school. He did a short course after graduating, and kept up the hobby throughout his life.

One day he decided to give back to the community and has since then been teaching people the skills he learnt. He teamed up with friend Cedric Bouwer and the organisation MyWoodSkills was born.

At first they taught adults at libraries, but in 2020 this expanded to teaching school lear­ners for free in Bonteheuwel, Bellville and Bishop Lavis, and through the Sale­sians Youth Institute all have learnt to make bathroom wall cabinets.

Their programme boosts the existing woodwork curriculum.

“I started training unemployed people about eight years ago where I found them waiting for casual work next to the road under trees,” explains Schronen.

“I also started presenting short morning sessions at library halls for home owners and DIY enthusiasts. As the demand grew over the years I developed a structured course taking students on a cupboard building journey from idea and design through cutting lists, fittings and fasteners through to assembling carcasses, hanging doors, fitting drawers and installing countertops.”

They offer blended courses, which combines modules, tasks and assessments online using a range of resources to interact

Johan Schronen with learners.

This means anyone can join their courses and proceeds are used to help those who cannot afford their courses. Schronen, a retired journalist and author of two textbooks, hopes to expand the programme to as many people as he can, helping more people to become employable in the process.

“MyWoodskills’ vision extends beyond empowering unemployed people with skills to help them find work, we also encourage an entrepreneurial mindset with our students and present small business skill modules for those who may want to start their own small home-based venture.”

Local doctors eager to get C-19 vaccine T

he word on everyone’s lips currently is “vaccine”. More specifically, the Covid-19 vaccines which are currently being administered in several countries.

Similarly, South Africa and the Western Cape is gearing itself for the arrival of these vaccines, broadly considered as an opportunity to return to some form of normality.

A rapid poll was conducted and received input from 1 680 health staff members in the province to determine concerns and the level of acceptance to the vaccine; and 918 health staff indicated they would take the vaccine.

“I am taking the vaccine. Scientists have provided evidence to show that this is currently our best medical defence against Covid-19,” says Dr Anita Parbhoo, acting CEO of the Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital.

Dr Jantjie Taljaard, infectious diseases specialist at Tygerberg Hospital, concurs.

“Being vaccinated will protect vaccinated individuals from severe disease but will also indirectly protect other non-vaccinated peo-

ple who may be at very high risk of dying,” he says.

Andre Lindoor, social work supervisor at Tygerberg Hospital, says, “One should ask yourself ‘what can I do to save lives’? My simple answer would be, vaccinate. By doing this I would not just protect myself, but also those around me.”

Prof Heather Zar, department of paediatrics and child health at Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital, adds, “The vaccine is one of the greatest advances we have to combat this terrible pandemic. So many have suffered and there has been so much loss and the vaccine can stop this.”

The Covid-19 vaccination programme is the largest in the history of the country. It is with this in mind that the provincial health department is engaging with a range of stakeholders and sectors to ensure its success, the provincial health department said in a statement to the media on Friday 22 January.

“Since the first positive Covid-19 case was confirmed in the Western Cape on 11 March

2020, 256 405 people have been infected and sadly 9 344 of our fellow citizens, friends and family members have succumbed to this pandemic,” the statement reads.

Currently there are 10 leading vaccines which have been approved in various countries, with several others in development and testing phase.

According to the provincial health department, South Africa has secured one million doses of the Covishield vaccine from the Serum Institute of India due for delivery at the end of January 2021 and a further 500 000 in February.

“As with all things new, it is understandable that there are concerns from society around the safety and efficacy of the vaccine . . . but as with previous diseases, these vaccines are an important part in keeping society safe and stopping the spread of Covid-19. This is because vaccines offer protection to an individual, by reducing a person’s risk of infection or the severity of their symptoms, at a population level. When enough people have received the vaccine,

they develop an immune response ‘herd or population immunity’ which results in a low risk of the virus continuing to spread within that community,” the statement read.

Roll-out logistics The vaccine will be given out in three phases beginning with frontline healthcare workers, followed by other essential workers and high-risk groups – people in congregate settings, over the age of 60 and people over 18 years of age with comorbidities, before trying to reach the wider population. In the Western Cape, a C-19 Vaccine Co-ordinating Committee has been established and will fulfil a stewardship role to enable a multi-sectoral provincial Covid-19 vaccination programme. The committee will keep relevant stakeholders informed on progress and connect with the National Vaccine Co-ordinating Committee.

A private health sector co-ordinating committee consisting of the relevant stakeholders and an expert advisory committee, is also being established.

Covid-19 fund assists over 250 businesses More than 250 businesses in the province will benefit from the Covid-19 Business Relief Fund, saving at least 2 000 jobs during the Covid-19 pandemic.

This, the provincial government announced on Thursday 21 January, saying that they have distributed R38 268 000 to 252 small businesses across the Western Cape.

“We launched the Covid-19 Business Relief Fund in September last year to support small businesses in both the formal and informal sectors who have been hard-hit by Covid-19 restrictions,” the statement

reads.

Western Cape finance minister David Maynier visited three of the businesses that were recipients of these funds.

Bodyline Coachworks is a youth-owned business based in Killarney Gardens that employs 11 people and provides auto body repairs and motor repair services.

K9 Petfoods is a women-owned business based in Montague Gardens that employs 50 people and provides pet food to some of the biggest retailers in South Africa.

Eat Smart is also a women-owned business in Montague Gardens employing 14

people and providing healthy ready-made meals to retailers across South Africa.

“Each of these businesses have seen their operations impacted in some way by Covid-19, whether staff have been ill or had to self-quarantine, their supply chain has been impacted by delays at the Port of Cape Town or the market has been negatively impacted by the lockdown restrictions.

However, what each of these businesses has shown is great resilience in the face of these challenges, and so I’m glad that through the Covid-19 Business Relief Fund we’ve been able to help these businesses

stay open and save jobs in the Western Cape,” Maynier explained.

The fund has provided financial assis­tance in the form of a financial grant to these businesses, with the purpose of subsidising business expenses.

“The Western Cape Covid-19 Business Relief Fund is one of the many ways that we have worked hard to support small businesses during the Covid-19 pandemic.

We know that times have been tough for businesses during the pandemic, and that is why we have been working hard to support businesses,” Maynier said.

Parrot found thanks to newspaper article RICHARD ROBERTS @richardjohn_rj “It was the newspaper that brought him home, thank you.”

With these words the owner of an African Grey parrot, Ash, thanked TygerBurger last week after the newspaper printed a photograph of her and her lost pet following his disappearance. A picture of pet owner Lisa Cooper and Ash appeared in the paper on Wednesday 20 January after the bird went missing on Thursday 7 January. Ash, a free flight trained bird, escaped from a crate and got a fright on the day of his disappearance.

“I will never be able to express my gratitude enough for the newspaper article on my missing bird and I believe it was the power of printed media that reunited Ash and I,” Cooper said last week.

Ash basically flew to the end of the road, did a loop and was found by a gentleman, she says.

“A loop is when a free flight bird flies away from you and circles in a big loop and comes back.

“As soon as he saw the newspaper when it was delivered, he saw the article and called my husband Greg. He told him to come and get the bird as he has got him,” the Bothasig resident explained.

Cooper encourages people to contact the non-profit

Lisa Cooper from Bothasig with her African Grey parrot Ash. Ash went missing on Thursday 7 January and was found last week after a photograph of the bird and his owner appeared in the newspaper.

organisation Cheeky Beaks Parrot Rescue who rescues and rehomes parrots across South Africa when they find a parrot or domestic bird, as they are determined to find the bird’s correct owners.

“They foster the bird until the owners are found. For anyone who has lost a bird they will understand how important this is. If you find a bird please notify them,” Cooper requests.

During the nearly two week search a lot of people shared the news of Cooper’s lost parrot on social media. Cooper also had signs made with which she stood at busy traffic intersections. She was also fortunate to have t-shirts and fliers printed to help her find Ash, thanks to a donation by Ink Well Print in Edgemead.

“The people in Cape Town are incredible and I am so grateful for all the calls, notifications and messages I had received. I have had so many people sharing and caring for Ash to come home,” Cooper says.

Ons was op pad skool toe en ek’t vir haar gesê om vir ’n onderwyser te vertel, maar tot my groot skaamte kan ek nie veel meer van daardie oomblik onthou nie. Selfs in die tydperk daarna was alles vir my ’n blank.

Ek weet nie of ek dit opgevolg het nie.

Ek weet nie of ek meer gedoen het nie.

En dikwels, dalk meer om die gewete te sus, sê ek vir myself daar is nie meer wat ek kon gedoen het nie.

Ek weet nou sy was ontsettend braaf om my daarvan te vertel. Sy was nog brawer omdat sy later ’n saak aanhangig gemaak het.

Die vriendin was al in die laerskool bietjie anders as baie van die ander kinders. Sy het altyd rillers vertel van ’n ouer wat haar dwing om die vloer met ’n tandeborsel skoon te maak. Stories wat dikwels te dik vir ’n daalder was.

Maar met die verkragting het ek haar dadelik geglo, want haar gedrag het uiteindelik sin gemaak. En, het ek eers as volwassene gelees, die kanse dat iemand daaroor lieg is regtig klein. ’n Paar maande later is ek gedagvaar om in die hof te gaan getuig.

Ek moes ’n verklaring aflê – maande nadat die voorval plaasgevind het, en toe ná nog ’n tydperk afvlieg vir die hofsaak.

Niemand het vir my gesê wat in ’n hofsaak gebeur of wie met my gaan praat en of ek self sou moes praat nie. Ek het net geweet dat ek ’n getuie was, saam met die onderwyseres vir wie my vriendin toe vertel het. As die stiefpa ’n goeie prokureur gehad het, sou hy enige getuienis van my in die hof afgemaai het.

Ná ure se gewag is ons egter om een of ander administratiewe rede huis toe gestuur en ’n paar maande later het ek gehoor die saak is teruggetrek. My vriendin en haar stiefpa het “saam besluit” dis die beste uitweg.

Dit is al 16 jaar later en ek en die vriendin het al lankal uitmekaar gedryf.

Hierdie storie spook by my – nie net omdat ek skuldig voel nie, maar omdat ek voel ’n onreg het gebeur.

Hoe kon die saak so ver vorder, maar op die laaste oomblik faal? Het sy genoeg hulp gekry nadat die saak verby is? Ek twyfel.

Hoe kan die stelsel toelaat dat sy weer met haar stiefpa in kontak kom?

Tog weet ek hierdie is sekerlik ’n algemene verskynsel vir meisies wat mishandel word.

Die statistieke wys dit oor en oor – die meerderheid van vroue maak nie eens sake aanhangig nie.

Soveel vroue (en kinders) is steeds in situasies waar hulle voel niemand gaan hulle glo nie, dat geregtigheid nie sal geskied nie.

En nou, in die tyd van die wêreldwye pandemie, dink ek hierdie saak is meer van ’n krisis as ooit tevore. Mishandelde kinders het nie iemand by die skool om by te bieg nie. Vroue het nie werksplekke om heen te ontsnap nie.

Maar dis nie asof die mans wat hierdie dade pleeg, skielik almal opgehou het nie.

Die fokus is net op ander dinge.

En dis ook nie asof ons skielik geleer het om die tekens raak te sien nie, want anders sou alle verkragters al in die tronk gesit het.

Dis ’n situasie wat maklik hulpeloos kan voel, maar nie is nie. Jy kan ’n verskil maak. Let op na wat aangaan met die vroue om jou. Volg op. Maak seker sy kry al die nodige hulp – en nie net tot in die hof nie, daarná ook. – Nielen de Klerk

Herwinning ’n probleem Die herwinning van skoon afvalmateriaal deur die plasing van ’n ekstra drom word hoogs op prys gestel.

Daar is egter nou ’n tendens met die dromkrappers wat dié maklike manier gevind het om ’n ekstra dag in ons dromme te krap.

Is daar nie ’n ander manier hoe ons weer self die bottels, karton, ensovoorts iewers kan plaas nie? Dié week het ons gewone dromme drie dae buite gestaan, met die gepaardgaande gemors van die krappers.

Hier gee ons hulle net nog ’n gemaklike kolleksie, en die Stadsraad kry ook nie herwinde afval nie, want dit word gemaklik onderskep.

Daar moet ’n oplossing wees.

Covid-19 is very real to me Like many others, I got tested positive for Covid-19.

On 13 December I became part of the over five million people tested in South Africa at the time; two days later I was one of the almost 8 000 new positive cases added to the dashboard. I immediately went into quarantine.

Like many others, I do not know where I contracted the virus. The realisation that I am among the thousands of the fear-filled statistics was agitating, emotional and days later extremely lonesome.

My story is nothing unique. I am here to warn you, like you have been warned over and over again, that this is not the common cold or a flu. This virus is

serious.

My name is Beverly van Reenen and before Covid-19, I was an otherwise healthy and active soon-to-be 60-year-old female.

I have been serving as the councillor for ward 25 in subcouncil 4 for the past six years and as chairperson of the human settlements portfolio committee for more than two years. I took all precautionary measures to prevent getting tested positive for the coronavirus. I considered myself healthy, young, with a strong immune system.

But when the positive test results came, the symptoms showed up severely.

Looking back, I somehow figured I could avoid the virus, but in the off-chance I were to get it, it would be like a mild flu or a bad cold. I was vigilant and started strengthening my immune system since the first wave.

But the fact of the matter remains – you never know.

The days that followed after getting tested positive mainly consisted of fever, chills, extreme fatigue, muscle aches and joint pain. My symptoms, however, only continued to worsen. The fever was unrelenting. I had no appetite.

I had diarrhoea and kept on vomiting. I lost some weight as well. Why am I telling this story? Because I encourage you to learn from my mistakes. Because, like many others, I was not too cautious as I tried to be when numbers started climbing. More than 30 000 people have died.

We need to stay home, because our health professionals are sacrificing their lives at the frontline to make sure those affected can stay alive.

Now is not the time to go to that party. I promise you, the celebration can wait. Let’s take responsibility for our own lives and those we love.

Thank you to City waste department for doing duty Firstly we wish to extend our best wishes to the ward councillor Helen Carstens, the City of Cape Town and more specifically the solid waste department’s waste collection services teams for going above and beyond the call of duty.

We acknowledge that in some instances waste collection was delayed for several days, but we wholeheartedly understand that the City, with its large teams, also have to deal with the Disaster Management Act and its associated regulations, the prevention of the spread of Covid-19 and dealing with instances where staff have contracted Covid-19 and have tested positive in this regard.

We applaud the City’s mayoral committee, senior managers, managers, line departments and staff on the ground for working hard and dealing so efficiently with all the associated issues relating to Covid-19.

We would however specifically like to direct this letter to the solid waste department of the City of Cape Town and whilst dealing with all the curve-balls still going the extra mile in dealing with our waste collection.

The Edgemead Zone 4 Watch patrollers and residents have on several occasions highlighted and expressed their gratitude on the street groups and how grateful they are towards the teams who collected solid waste (wheelie bins) into the late hours of the evening; on several occasions after 21:00 in the evening, to catch-up with any backlog.

We wish to say thank you solid waste and your teams – well done and again we

applaud you for going the extra mile and well beyond your call of duty. Your efforts are much appreciated and we value your contributions to assist with keeping our neighbourhood clean.

Thank you and keep up the amazing and hard work.

Fritz Steyn sal onthou word Dit was werklik vir my ’n groot en onverwagse skok om te hoor dat Fritz Steyn begin Januarie oorlede is.

Op 18 November 2020 het ek met Fritz gepraat oor ’n aangeleentheid van wyk 1 en daarna het ons voortgegaan om oor die betrokke saak op WhatsApp te kommunikeer.

Sy dood het my werklik diep geraak omdat ek Fritz as ’n sterk, groot jong man beskou het. Hy het altyd ná vergaderings in die wyk met my kom praat en kwessies onder my aandag gebring.

Hoewel ons nie altyd oor alles saamgestem het nie, kon ons altyd ’n saak mooi uitpraat en ’n oplossing probeer vind.

Ek sal Fritz Steyn altyd onthou as iemand wat entoesiastiese passie vir sy gemeenskap gehad het, en iemand wat fisiek betrokke geraak het om die Monte Vista-Plattekloof Glen-gebied veilig te maak. Hy was nie ’n praatmens nie. Hy was altyd gasvry en het my gereeld genooi om by hom en sy vrou te kom koffie drink. Sy onverwagse heengaan laat ’n groot leemte in die Monte Vista-Plattekloof Glen-buurtwag.

Ek wens sy vrou, Chantel, en pragtige dogtertjie, Nelia, alle voorspoed en geluk toe.

Fritz sal altyd onthou word.

Aanlyn afpersing neem toe NIELEN DE KLERK @nielendk

A

l hoe meer mense word aanlyn deur mense afgepers, volgens die polisie.

“Ons sien beslis ’n toename in afpersingsake,” sê lt. kol. Fienie Nimb, woordvoerder van die Bellville-polisiekantoor.

“Mense ontmoet iemand op sosiale media en begin dan oor die foon in teksboodskappe gesels,” verduidelik Nimb.

“Hulle sal mekaar dan ontmoet en ’n seksuele verhouding aanknoop of net seksuele boodskappe oor en weer stuur.”

Daarna begin die dreigemente.

“Die skelm sal dreig dat hulle videomateriaal, foto’s, boodskappe of seksuele dade openbaar sal maak indien daar nie ’n sekere bedrag betaal word nie.

“Dikwels word die naam van ’n fiktiewe polisieman of -vrou gebruik om hul dreigement te versterk.”

Paul, wat nie sy van gepubliseer wil hê nie omdat hy bang is vir viktimisasie, is amper met so ’n skelmstreek gevang.

Hy is op Facebook deur ’n vreemde vrou gekontak. Hulle het begin gesels en toe die gesprek op WhatsApp verder gevoer.

Hulle begin toe vir mekaar foto’s stuur, maar Paul het nooit kaalfoto’s aangestuur nie.

Die vrou wou egter die verhouding in ’n seksuele een verander en het Paul vir petrolgeld gevra sodat sy na sy huis toe kon kom. Hy het geweier.

Daarna het sy hom begin afpers. Sy het ’n foto gestuur van ’n polisieman en gesê hy moet haar R2 500 betaal of sy maak ’n saak

van seksuele teistering aanhangig.

Toe hy weier, is die saak glo aan die “polisieman” oorhandig. Hierdie fiktiewe polisieman het toe aan hom boodskappe gestuur waarin hy hom ook afpers om geld te stuur voordat hy die saak verder vat.

Paul het vir ’n saaknommer gevra, maar het ’n fiktiewe een gekry.

“Ek kon nie slaap nie,” vertel Paul. “Ek het nie geweet wat om te doen nie, hoe om hierdie aan my familie te verduidelik nie.”

Hy is die volgende dag na sy vriend, George Haradien, toe.

Haradien het gesê die situasie klink verdag en het die polisie gebel, waarna die polisie hom van die skelmstreek vertel het.

Paul sê hy is nou behoorlik afgeskrik, maar is ook onkant gevang deur waartoe skelms in staat is.

Hy sê hy gaan van nou af altyd op sy hoede wees rondom mense.

Nimb gee die volgende wenke: . As jy in so ’n situasie vasgevang is, kom praat met die polisie sodat hulle kan help. . Moet nooit jou adres vir ’n onbekende persoon op sosiale media gee nie. . Moenie seksuele foto’s of video’s oor en weer stuur nie. Dit kan teen jou gebruik word en jy kan aangekla word van die maak en verspreiding van pornografiese materiaal. . Indien jy die persoon wil ontmoet, ontmoet by die polisiekantoor en ry dan saam van daar af. . Indien die afperser vir jou ’n saaknommer of polisiebeampte se naam gee, bel die polisiekantoor en maak seker of daar só ’n persoon bestaan en of só ’n saak aanhangig gemaak is.

Curfew enforced with homeless in mind RICHARD ROBERTS @richardjohn_rj In his last address to the nation on Monday 28 December 2020, President Cyril Ramaphosa announced that cabinet has decided to put the country on an adjusted Level 3 from Level 1. This meant that the nationwide curfew was extended from 21:00 until 05:00.

“Apart from medical and security emergencies, nobody is allowed outside their place of residence during curfew,” Ramaphosa said.

But what about those who have no residence?

TygerBurger asked the police, City of Cape Town and the provincial department of social development what is done to help people living on the street under the current lockdown regulations, and if the curfew applies to these men and women as well.

“No one is exempt from the provisions of the Disaster Management Act, however, the legislation is enforced with the circumstances of homeless people in mind,” Col André Traut, spokesperson for the Western Cape police, responded briefly.

In his response, Zahid Badroodien, Mayco member for community service and health, explained the City’s role.

“It is not illegal to be homeless and to live on the street.

“The City’s street people programme was introduced to help persons living and surviving on the streets.

“The programme aims to facilitate a developmental approach in addressing the needs of street people. The street people unit engages a person and offers social assistance. The unit engages with a person up to six occasions, when the person still refuses assistance and is transgressing by-laws, the matter is referred to the displaced persons unit who will attend to by-law infringements,” Badroodien says.

He says however street people are not compelled to accept social assistance or placement into a shelter. “As previously mentioned, it is not illegal to remain on the street,” Badroodien says.

Joshua Chigome, spokesperson for the minister of social development, Sharna Fernandez, told the newspaper that their department only assists homeless individuals and families by providing funding to non-government organisations who work directly to get people off the streets. He says the department does not work with street people directly, and that this function belongs to the City.

The department currently funds 26 shelters that assist homeless citizens across the Western Cape. The shelters render critical social work services aimed at reuniting homeless adults with their families.

TygerBurger is still waiting on comment from the spokesperson of the national government.

The South African police say legisla­tion is enforced with the circumstances of homeless people in mind during the curfew period imposed by national government late last month.

NUUS

Konserte beplan om Boer te red S

edert die eienaars Jurgen Human en Margit Meyer-Rödenbeck Die Boer-teaterrestaurant as ’n tuiste vir die kunste geskep het, is daar die afgelope byna 16 jaar ongeveer 4 000 vertonings deur die land se voorste kunstenaars aangebied.

Verlede week het TygerBurger berig oor die aankondiging dat Die Boer sy deure vir eers moet sluit weens die uitwerking van die pandemie-regulasies.

Ná die aankondiging op Die Boer se Facebook-blad het honderde boodskappe van ongeloof, skok en hartseer ingestroom – van beide kunstenaars en ondersteuners, sê Margit.

Dit het Jaco van Dyk en Hamilton Wessels, die aanbieders van die aanlyn fondsinsamelingsplatform Woes, laat besluit om ’n “Red die Boer”-veldtog te begin om die teater se deure te probeer oophou.

“Die Boer is sinoniem met kuns en kultuur. Ek is al 12 jaar in die musiekbedryf en dit sal ’n donker dag vir my wees as ek iets kon doen om te help, maar niks gedoen het nie”, sê Wessels.

“Toe ek die nuus lees, was ons nog op vakansie, maar ek het onmiddellik vir Hammie gebel en gesê: ‘Woes moet nou inspring en help!’ Die Boer is ’n bekende baken in ons omgewing wat ons nie mag verloor nie,” sê Van Dyk. Die Woes-program is geskep om geld in te

samel vir skole, instansies en kunstenaars en het in 2020 meer as R4,5 miljoen ingesamel deur aanlyn veilings, lootjies en donasies.

Woes en van die land se voorste kunstenaars gaan saamspan om twee gratis aanlyn konserte aan te bied op Saterdag 29 Januarie en Saterdag 5 Februarie om geld in te samel om hierdie belangrike platform vir kunstenaars in staat te stel om sy deure weer oop te maak sodra toestande dit toelaat.

Pryse en artikels wat opgeveil gaan word het van reg oor die land ingestroom en Jaco en Hamilton gaan kykers op ’n drie uur lange avontuur van musiek en emosies neem.

Kunstenaars wat reeds bevestig is, sluit in Elvis Blue, Mathys Roets, Elandre, Leah, Anna Davel, Gian Groen, Dewald Wasserfall, Dan Patlansky, Andriëtte, Wicus van der Merwe en Pietman Geldenhuys.

Na raming kan ’n potensiële gehoor van meer as 40 000 mense inskakel op hierdie twee konserte en kykers sal lootjies kan koop wat hulle in aanmerking sal bring vir ’n reeks pryse. Daar gaan ook vier spesiale artikels opgeveil word.

Adverteerders kan ook betrokke raak en belangstellendes kan ’n e-pos stuur na margitm@mweb.co.za.

Die skakel na die konserte en om vooraf lootjies te koop is op Die Boer se Facebookblad beskikbaar.

Health care workers treated

Healthcare workers in the Tygerberg area received snack packs from Checkers last week. Some 300 packs were donated by the group. On the photo is Magdie Martin from Cape Gate Mediclinic.

Following a request by the community to assist healthcare workers who are working tirelessly in the fight against Covid19, Checkers Western Cape division responded by donating some much needed refreshments.

The refreshment packs were distributed on Monday, 18 January to 300 health workers at Cape Gate Mediclinic and Louis Leipoldt hospitals to show the retailer’s appreciation to the medical and support personnel who are at the front line during this pandemic.

“Since the start of this pandemic, we have donated 7 000 care packages containing essential products to Covid-19 patients in different health facilities across the country. Communities are at the core of our business and we are committed to the communities in which we operate by joining forces with them and local partners on social investment initiatives that make a real difference in people’s lives,” said Lunga Schoeman, corporate social investment manager of the Shoprite Group.

NHWs urged to get permits All neighbourhood watches (NHW) accredited with the provincial community safety department must approach the department to obtain the necessary permit to patrol, the department’s minister, Albert Fritz, says in a press statement.

To date, 147 of the 322 accredited NHWs, or 45.65%, have applied and received the necessary permits.

Heads of accredited NHWs should therefore enquire with the department’s NHW unit to issue new permits to operate during curfew hours between 21:00 and 06:00.

“The work that our NHWs do in keeping our communities safe is crucial. I therefore call on all accredited NHWs to ensure that they are in possession of the relevant documentation so that they continue to do this work, while abiding by the law,” minister Fritz says.

In December, Fritz consulted with the police in the Western Cape and confirmed that accredited NHWs may patrol under the new set of regulations. “After consultation with the police’s legal services, the police in the

Western Cape confirmed that under the adjusted alert level 3 regulations NHWs can function, provided all relevant protocols are adhered to. To do so, NHWs must be issued with permits and members should have it on their person at all times whilst performing duties,” Fritz says.

The community safety department has since received the permit template which is being used to issue permits to accredited NHWs. “The previously issued permits are however no longer valid as the regulation, as promulgated in Government Gazette no 11217 dated 29 December, has changed.”

He says NHWs can continue to utilise the permit as provided by the department to patrol. “It is essential that NHWs continue to patrol during the curfew hours as we know that these are the times in which crimes such as robberies and burglaries take place.”

World Read Aloud Day is being celebrated on Wednesday 3 February across the globe.

Encourage youth to read World Read Aloud Day (WRAD), one of the biggest literacy drives organised by non-governmental organisation Nal’ibali, is being celebrated on Wednesday 3 February.

The aim is to draw attention to the importance of reading aloud to children in their mother tongue.

The organisation commissions a brand-new story – one best suited for reading aloud to primary school children – and translates it into all 11 official South African languages for everyone’s enjoyment.

Nal’ibali, the national reading-for-enjoyment campaign, has been bringing a special story to children to celebrate WRAD for the past eight years.

This year their goal is to read aloud to three million children in a single day.

The campaign encourages parents, teachers and caregivers to read aloud to their children and charges.

This year’s story is Fly, everyone fly! by Sihle Nontshokweni, who will be giving a special reading of the story, live on Nal’ibali’s Facebook page (@nalibaliSA) at 13:00 on the day.

Caregivers and their children are invi­ted to join the digital read-aloud; not only to hear the story, but to engage with the author and each other too.

Christina Nomdo, the Western Cape Children’s Commissioner, will also be giving a virtual reading of the story on the campaign’s page, highlighting the power of stories to set children up for success in school and life. Stories can be shared anytime, anywhere, wherever children and caregivers find themselves on 3 February.

Nal’ibali is encouraging them to start or maintain a reading routine.

Many caregivers do not realise the benef­it of reading and sharing stories with children this young, but it is the children who were read to when they were very young who perform better in school, as they will have better developed their memories, vocabularies and comprehension skills.

V Anyone who wants to get involved in the campaign can visit www.nalibali.org or WhatsApp WRAD to 060 044 2254 to make their pledge and gain free access to the official story and Praesa’s guide to sharing the story with preschool children.

Licence renewal extension Motorists in possession of a driving licence card, temporary driving license and learners licence which expired between 26 March 2020 and 31 December 2020 are reminded that an automatic extension has been granted until 31 August.

In a statement by the City of Cape Town it reads that since the reopening of driving licence testing centres, the centres have processed 308 283 transactions for various categories up to the end of 2020.

All the backlogs created by the hard lockdown last year have been cleared and the testing centres are currently offering full services for all applications. New backlogs are unfortunately created each time a testing centre has to close due to Covid-19 exposure of staff. To increase capacity at the testing centres, the City of Cape Town this week approved additional funding of R10.8 million on the adjustment budget, to assist with the extension of operational hours to deal with the increase in demand.

“The centres reopened in August last year and the focus at the time was to prioritise the backlog and although some centres had limited capacity, officers provided the best possible service,” said the City’s Mayco member for safety and security JP Smith.

Services available to the public at testing centres include renewal of driving licences, applications for learner and driver licences, foreign driving licence conversions, renewal of professional driving permits and applications for duplicate learner licences.

“In the event of a temporary closure, the staff have to vacate the building immediatel.

The affected centre will be subjected to a deep clean and full sanitising before reopening. All driver tests and learner appointments are then rescheduled. It is therefore very important that the information on the application form is accurate.”

Smith said the City is awaiting approval from the Western Cape Provincial Administration regarding online applications.

Cape Town Cycle Tour cancelled Due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, the 2021 Cape Town Cycle Tour has had to be postponed from its traditional March date to later this year. “For several months they have been working hand-in-hand with the authorities and stakeholders around the possibility of hosting a significantly revised version of the Cape Town Cycle Tour in March 2021.

Sadly, current circumstances make the hosting of a mass participation event in any format untenable for the immediate future,” reads part of their official statement.

ELSIESRIVIER: NOORDELIKES KRY BAADJIES EN DASSE

Droom word waar AVRIL FILLIES

D

ie droom van wyle Philip Abrahams, voormalige president van Noordelikes-rugbyklub in Avonwood in Elsiesrivier, is Saterdag 23 Januarie verwesenlik toe die bestuur van die klub hul kleurbaadjies en dasse ontvang het.

“Die jaar voor sy afsterwe het Mr A, soos hy alombekend was, ná ’n klubwedstryd op Avonwoodpark na my toe gekom en gesê dat die bestuur darem baie bont aangetrek veld toe kom en dat ons as klub moet aansoek doen by die SA Nasionale Lotery-fonds vir geld sodat ons almal ’n advertensie vir die klub kan wees. Vandag word die baadjies en dasse oorhandig en hy is nie hier om sy droom verwesenlik te sien nie,” sê Abraham Fredericks, president van die klub.

Die klubspelers sal ook almal baat vind by die skenking, want elkeen sal ’n oortrektrui, langbroek, hemp, rugbybroekie en ander toerusting in ’n rugbysak ontvang. Die oorhandiging aan die spelers sal later gedoen word wanneer klubrugby hervat word.

By dieselfde geleentheid het Adonis (Kiepie) Cupido ook amptelik by die klub aangesluit en sy kleure ontvang.

“Ek vier vanjaar my 50ste jaar in rugby en was voorheen verbonde aan die Tygerberg-rugbyklub. My eerste tree op die rugbyveld het ek in 1969 as 16-jarige vir die Tigers se o.135 pond (60 kg)-span gegee. Op 18-jaar het ek vir die seniors in die derde span begin en het ook die junior voorsitter en hulpafrigter van wyle Corra Joachims geword,” sê Cupido.

Hy het op 19 sy debuut in die eer-

stespan gemaak en het saam met spelers soos Chris Joachims, Jannie Sternberg, John Mitchell, Bennie Parring, Ben van der Kolf, Peter Jooste en David Ligwa vir Tigers gespeel.

“In 1973 het die klub besluit om by die nuutgestigte Tygerberg-rugbyunie aan te sluit en onder die vaandel van die voormalige SA Rugbyunie te speel. Die klub het toe ook besluit om ’n junior liga te begin en ek het die eerste voorsitter en afrigter van die o.19-span geword.

“Later is ek gekies as die afrigter van die senior span en spelers wat ek afgerig het, sluit in Jooste, Julian Smith, John Visagie, Gerald Fortuin, Abraham Jooste, Vivian Davids, Abraham Cloete, Costa Theys, Stanley Raubenheimer, John en Magedien Arendse, Sidney Langenhoven en Cupido Ma-

nuel. Ek was ook bevoorreg om as voorsitter van die Tygerbergsportbeheerraad saam te werk met mense soos wyle oom Hansie Christians, George en Nico van Oordt, James Appollis, Chris van der Linde en Klaas Dirks,” sê hy.

Hy het ook op provinsiale vlak as skeidsregter opgetree nadat hy besluit het om die fluitjie op te neem.

“Ek was ook ’n keurder van die Tygerberg-rugbyunie en was die bestuurder van die Tygerberg-rugbyspan in die SA Bekerwedstryde teen die Boland en Griekwas. Ná eenwording in 1992 het ek nog vir drie jaar die fluitjie hanteer en toe my fluitjie opgehang. Ek het in daardie stadium besluit dat ek genoeg van rugby gehad het en wou my kennis met die gemeenskap deel. Die 50 jaar-diens aan rugby kan net toegeskryf word aan die genade van God, want ek is nog ge-

sond en kan as administrateur my kennis as afrigter en skeidsregter gebruik tot die voordeel van die gemeenskap,” sê Cupido.

Met die Covid-19-pandemie wat alle gemeenskapsport laat stop het, het Fredericks gesê dit was baie moeilik vir klubs om spelers en administrateurs gemotiveerd te hou.

“Ons het nie gedink dat daar geen rugby in 2020 gespeel sou word nie, en nou aan die begin van 2021 is alles nog in onsekerheid gedompel, maar die hoop beskaam nie. Intussen hou ons afrigters gereeld kontak met die spelers deur ’n WhatsApp-groep om seker te maak dat hulle nog oukei is. Ek moet erken dit is moeilik om nie persoonlik met die spelers kontak te maak nie, maar ons moet die Covid-19-protokol volg sodat almal veilig kan bly tot ons weer op die veld kan draf,” sê Fredericks.

Adonis Cupido (middel) word verwelkom deur van links Abe Fredericks, president, en Philip Marquis, voorsitter van die klub.
