Honouring healthcare workers The Table View Neighbourhood Watch (TVNW) members and community medics joined forces to honour the healthcare workers at Netcare Blaauwberg Hospital last week. This as healthcare workers and essential service facilities across the country are on the front line battling Covid-19 with their own health and well-being at stake. The TVNW said they are the true heroes in this battle.

KOEBERG ROAD: ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES SURGE

Public demands action KAILIN DANIELS @k10daniels

T

he uphill battle to address the issues in Koeberg Road in Brooklyn has allegedly fallen on deaf ears as fuming community members demand action to be taken.

This after years of illegal activities in the area, with the constant struggle to curb the issues, chairperson of the Brooklyn, Ysterplaat and Rugby Residents’ Association (Byrra), Fay Vogel, says.

Vogel says they have noticed a vast decline of the area over the past years, instead of the much anticipated improvement.

“The illegal trading on the sidewalks has increased notably, and the fruit and vegeta-

ble traders have been unregulated with stalls popping up where we have no legal trading sites. The shops pack out advertising boards all over the sidewalks meant for pedestrians. We had an incident where one of our elderly community members was forced to deviate from the side walk with her wheelchair and fell over. This is due to cars parking on pavements,” Vogel says.

Vogel told TygerBurger they have a major issue with illegal dumping and they need to find a way to remedy this.

“We have asked for a camera to be put up at this hot spot, but there are no funds available to us for this purpose. We as residents association log complaints daily. We have records of this. The furthest we got with the

relevant authorities was compliance notices and fines that were issued, yet approximately two years later. We are worse off with more illegal braais and vendors on the increase. We understand that we have a crisis at the moment, but this situation has been a problem long before Covid,” she says.

Vogel says that despite their best efforts and the progress made thus far, the state of Koeberg Road still leaves much to be desired.

“We need constant control and patrols in the area as our problems are not hidden and can be seen from the main road,” Vogel adds.

Ward 55 councillor, Fabian Ah-Sing, says there is an increase in open braais and other types of trading which is not permitted in

the area. “We have initiated various processes to ensure we deal with many of these concerns, but these processes do take time.

It does on occasion feel that it is taking too long, but I remind myself that we must follow the proper process. I have made the commitment to do all I can to improve the state of Koeberg Road. There is still a lot to do and I will continue to do all I can to improve the state of Koeberg Road,” Ah-Sing explains.

One of the processes which Ah-Sing initiated is the amending of the ward 55 Informal Traders Plan. He says they are aiming to create a limited amount of dedicated trading bays where the informal trading will be allowed.

Help needed for Cape cormorant chicks S

anccob’s Cape Town centre is currently rehabilitating well over a thousand Cape cormorant chicks after a mass abandonment by their parent birds on Robben Island.

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

Sanccob says their Penguin and Seabird Ranger – employed in partnership with Robben Island Museum – monitored the breeding birds on the Island and after hours of observing the chicks exposed to

predation and extreme heat, a decision was made to intervene and collect the chicks to ensure their survival.

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

Suspect held for murder Efforts in tracing a murder suspect proved successful when the investigating officer from Table View persevered in his investigation.

Table View police spokesperson Capt Adriana Chandler said during July 2020 an altercation between two men took a violent turn when one stabbed the other.

“The motive, a love triangle. The suspect, a 39-year-old, immediately escaped and went into hiding. The 38 year old victim Lulama Duna succumbed to his injuries on route to a nearby medical facility.

The tragic incident took place at a dwelling in Site 5 informal settlement,” Chandler said.

The investigating officer from Table View received information that the suspect might be in hiding at relatives in Umtata.

Chandler added, “The officer made contact with the public order police in the province and provided them with details of the suspects. The man was traced to an address of relatives and arrested. The investigating officer made the journey to Umtata and brought the suspect back to be held accountable for his actions.”

He appeared in Cape Town magistrates court on Monday 25 January and is remanded in custody.

Sludge removal services at wastewater plant

Healthcare workers at Netcare Blaauwberg Hospital were honoured last week.

‘Superheroes’ honoured KAILIN DANIELS @k10daniels

A

s many healthcare workers around the country are baring the brunt in the fight against Covid-19, the Table View Neighbourhood Watch (TVNW) took the initiative to spread some joy.

Healthcare workers at Netcare Blaauwberg Hospital, who wear their uniforms with pride every day, despite all odds, were honoured last week.

Laura Outhet, media liaison at TVNW said patrollers and some members from community medics wanted to bring a little happiness to some of the healthcare workers at Netcare Blaauwberg Hospital.

“TVNW organised with the matron of the hospital to welcome the next shift and thank the previous shift with a round of clapping and very big thank yous. What an emotional evening. By now, we all know someone fighting this or who have lost someone fighting Covid-19 – our healthcare workers across the country are drowning in it daily,” Outhet said.

She added that a small gesture such as this one goes a long way in keeping their spirits up. “They can’t get away from it.

They are our superheroes! We thank them so much for their dedication to their work.

We ask all of our community members to please be safe at all times,” Outhet said.

Netcare Blaauwberg Hospital recently posted on social media, thanking various companies and the community for their generous contributions.

“On behalf of the Netcare Blaauwberg

Hospital management, doctors and staff, we would like to extend our sincerest thanks to the community who have so generously contributed in various forms of donations during these trying times. You have brightened up our day and made everyone smile.

The thought that our community stands behind us in this tough time is deeply encouraging. Stay safe,” the post reads.

The recent surge in Covid-19 cases has placed significant demand on the hospital staff, making it difficult for them to provide regular updates to concerned family members.

“We understand that hospitalisation of your loved one can be very stressful, especially when you are possibly unable to reach them or our hospital to stay informed of their condition.

“That’s why we have set up a dedicated national Family Connect Line that will facilitate regular updates regarding your loved one in our care.

“This is another way in which we at Netcare are striving to provide you with the best and safest care, and place you and your loved ones at the centre of everything we do,” Netcare said.

The hospital explained that the increase in confirmed Covid-19 cases across South Africa has unfortunately necessitated them to maintain visitation restrictions.

“Although visitation for general wards, high care and intensive care units remain suspended, there have been some changes to visitation exceptions,” Netcare added.

For more information, call the Family Connect Line on 0800 111 266.

FROM PAGE 1 “It took us a while to confiscate the illegal open braais; we had to follow the processes that are laid out in legislation. We started in December last year.

“We’ve made sure that the businesses have bins and will this year do another round of inspections and add more bins where needed,” he explains.

Ah-Sing says that Koeberg Road is cleaned every day and residents need to play their part as well.

He adds, “The City and myself are going beyond what is expected to ensure that we deal with the issue.

“What Byrra should be concentrating on is getting more residents to join the association to help us to deal with the problems.

The City and myself cannot resolve this sit-

uation alone.

“The residents association and the residents of the ward also need to come to the table and play their part.”

HEARING CARE CENTRE

By appointment only

The two contracts for the removal and disposal of sludge at Wastewater Treatment Works (WWTW), including the Potsdam facility in Milnerton, have been signed, following the conclusion of an appeals process.

The City of Cape Town says in a statement that work to tackle the backlog of sludge stockpiled at a number of facilities will begin as soon as possible, before the end of this week. Once the work commences, residents might experience some foul smells for a few days as the sludge starts being removed.

Sludge, which is a by-product of the wastewater treatment process, needed to be stockpiled at these facilities because the tender for its removal and disposal was appealed, and therefore could not be awarded until the appeals process had concluded.

Section 62 of the Municipal Systems Act confers a right to any bidder to challenge and appeal the decision of a municipality.

This means that the contract cannot be implemented during the appeal period. The appeal must be dealt with by an impartial and independent party who will either confirm, revoke or vary the procurement award decision. The bidder (appellant) if not satisfied with the appeal ruling may approach a court of law to challenge that.

The tender value is approximately R200 million over three financial years.

The City’s tender evaluations and awards are done in an open and transparent manner and accessible to members of the public and interested parties.

“The City sincerely regrets the discomfort caused to residents as a result of the appeals against the awarding of the contract. I want to apologise to our residents for this discomfort, and assure them that the City has done absolutely everything in its power to move this tender along in the shortest possible time frame, however the

City is bound by the provisions of the Municipal Finance Management Act (MFMA) and the supply chain management regulations. It is a regulatory-heavy environment and the City is compelled to adhere to the national legislation. Appeal processes are provided for and must be followed,” said mayor Dan Plato. The City’s Mayco member for water and waste Xanthea Limberg said work to tackle the backlog of sludge stockpiled at a number of facilities will begin as soon as possible, before the end of last week.

“Once the work commences, residents might experience some foul smells for a few days as the sludge starts being removed. During this time, we ask residents to please bear with us as every effort will be made to clear the backlog as soon as possible, and to ensure the normal daily service resumes. While the stockpiling of sludge at the WWTW has been a problem warranting priority attention, it is important to understand that it was a procurement challenge, as opposed to a process operation matter. It is unrelated to the Potsdam WWTW plant’s effective treatment of wastewater. The WWTW is operating within its design capacity and has been producing good quality effluent consistently since problems with the mechanical dewatering installation were resolved early in 2020.

“Unfortunately, Potsdam’s stockpile smells as it is one of the plants that produces primary sludge. We have not reduced primary sludge production specifically to ensure treated effluent quality remains unaffected. The sludge currently stockpiled on site at Potsdam is stored in such a manner as to minimise the effect on the environment. Sludge cake is stockpiled in a clay-lined pond to avoid contamination of groundwater, and cannot overflow into the environment or reach the Diep River,” Limberg said.

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

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

“We currently have 34 overflow facilities at our clinics and it is heartening to see residents continue to access our normal services and adhering to their health schedules, such as immunisation and antenatal and family planning services. While the current Covid19 situation has impacted every aspect of our lives, and requires us to adhere to additional health protocols, there is still screening for HIV and TB, as well as medical checks for

chronic conditions that need to be done and medication that needs to be collected,” said the City’s Mayco member for community services and health, Zahid Badroodien.

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

The number of children under one year who were fully immunised remained stable at an average of 3 100 children per month.

The number of first antenatal visits remained stable at an average of 2 100 per month.

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

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

W

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

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

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

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

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

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

One such parent is very worried about her son.

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

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

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

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

Dr Iqbal Karbanee, paediatrician at Cape Gate Mediclinic and CEO of Paed-IQ Baby-

line, says this behaviour may be a normal reaction under the current uncertainty.

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

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

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

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

“I’ve seen this in my own child, who suddenly started getting nightmares of getting sick after eating food given to her by a stranger. This anxiety was a direct result of learning at school that she should not share food or cutlery because it may make her sick,” explains Karbanee.

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

This can create confusion.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“Die droogte het baie boere op hul knieë gedwing. Daar is bitter min kontantvloei en baie van die gesinne sukkel om basiese benodigdhede aan te koop. Met dié projek – ons tweede vir die jaar – wil ons die goedere

insamel om die boervroue, kinders en ook plaaswerkers by te staan,” sê Hannes Rheeder, klubvoorsitter.

Die klub het verlede maand R10 000 kontant aan boere geskenk om diesel aan te koop. Goeie tweedehandse klere, nie-bederfbare voedsel en toiletbenodigdhede kan geskenk word.

Skakel Hannes Rheeder by 083 324 9525 met navrae.

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

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

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

community and other crime prevention role players.

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

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

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

Pipers cheer up staff at hospitals NIELEN DE KLERK @nielendk

M

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

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

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

ville.

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

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

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

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

Louis Leipoldt was their first hospital of choice, because of one the members’ wives working there. Once they got the all-clear to play there, they started contacting other hospitals in the area.

They played from 18:30 to 19:15, as this is when the shifts change and new personnel take over.

The group printed a special drum cover which says “Supporting Frontline Workers,” especially for their hospitals project.

According to Taljaard they started the project in part because they cannot perform anymore, as well as a way of giving back to those doing so much for the ordinary citizen.

They have a band member who is a doctor, family members who are doctors or who work at hospitals and some of their members have had the virus themselves.

Yesterday they played at Vincent Pallotti Hospital in Pinelands.

They’ve lined up playing gigs at 10 hospitals in total, but are willing to play at more.

The band is one of three in Cape Town.

GrandWest celebrates 20 years of entertainment TARRYN-LEIGH SOLOMONS @tarryns07 It’s been just over 20 years since Sun International opened the doors of GrandWest Casino and Entertainment World.

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

The first jackpot was R15 000, and was won shortly after opening, followed soon thereafter by the luckiest punter of the morning who won a R10 000 jackpot and then another R12 000 during his first hour on the casino floor.

In an effort to celebrate two decades of existence, a small birthday lunch was held on Friday 11 December.

Prior to the Covid-19 lockdown, Grand-

West attracted 550 000 visitors a month and on show nights staff routinely dealt with up to 15 000 people passing through to visit the casino, to watch shows, or to visit restaurants and bars in the complex.

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

“GrandWest also spent a further R38 million on road enhancement to complete the Vanguard Overpass Bridge and entrance to the complex. Substantial improvements, including safe pedestrian facilities, were

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

made to the intersections of Vanguard Drive with Viking Way, Voortrekker Road and Denneboom Road, and Viking Way and Showground Road.

Over the course of the 20 years the property was further developed to add a 7 000seater arena, an undercover parking garage and an exhibition space.”

Under the current lockdown regulations, the R1.5b development is now restricted to only 50% of capacity. General manager Mervyn Naidoo said GrandWest remains – to this day – an icon of the entertainment landscape. “We have adapted to the ‘new normal’. We have strictly implemented all of the Covid-19 protocols and we have seen our trading levels improving month on month.”

When President Cyril Ramaphosa an-

nounced the hard lockdown on 27 March last year GrandWest shut its doors for three months. “We have been operating since reopening at the end of June last year. Guests have been incredibly supportive, and have responded well to our stringent health and safety protocols,” Naidoo told TygerBurger.

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

Naidoo said business in general is muted given the 50% floor capacity.

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

SLICE OF LIFE

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Daai dromkrappers is ook mense net soos ek en jy.

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

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

Hulle is nie so geseënd soos van ons nie.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Toe ek my omstandighede aan

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

EERSTERIVIER: OUERS SPOOR HOM AAN

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Put jy genot uit jou werk?

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

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

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

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

5. Wie inspireer jou?

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

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

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

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

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

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

Sometimes justifiably so.

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

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

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

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

blem,” Hayward said.

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

Other cyclists do not expect you to pass on

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

The law only permits hearing aids to be in

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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