SEXUAL ASSAULT: HIGHEST IN 10 YEARS

Crime spikes in Milnerton KAILIN DANIELS @k10daniels

T

he Milnerton police station has been listed as one of the top 30 police stations where sexual assault cases have been reported.

This after police minister, Bheki Cele, released the national crime statistics on Friday 31 August for the period of April 2019 to March 2020 showing which types of criminal activity have increased – and decreased – in the past year.

Sexual assault cases in Milnerton have increased to 34 in the 2019/2020 financial year – the highest reported cases for Milnerton in

10 years.

Although shoplifting in the Table View area decreased, reported cases in Milnerton spiked to 509 compared to 403 last year.

The Milnerton area has since seen a decrease in commercial crime from 558 in 2018/2019 to 514 in 2019/2020.

Nationwide, the total of 15 893 murders which were recorded in 2010, soared to 21 325 in the 2019/2020 financial year.

According to residents on Facebook, protests in the areas have contributed to the increase in crime, with damaging infrastructure and assaults.

One of the local ward councillors in Milnerton, Fabian Ah-Sing, said the increase in

crime in ward 55 is worrying.

“I have supported our neighbourhood watches for many years and ensured they have the equipment they need. It is frustrating that despite the efforts of all neighbourhood watches within the ward, our crime stats have increased. We have a lack of effective policing within ward 55. We need more police officers with associated resources such as patrol vans and we need police to tackle prostitution, illegal shebeens and drug dens which are known to the police.

Those are the three biggest contributions to crime in our area especially in Koeberg Road which must be dealt with by the police.

This is what the police are supposed to do

and if the police do not deal with these matters effectively, then we will not be able to see a substantial decrease in crime,” AhSing said.

Laura Outhet from the Table View neighbourhood watch, said to get an accurate representation of the crime in the area and district, they rely on the people who have been victims of crimes.

“Many crimes are not reported at all, so it’s difficult to get a true figure. Many victims choose to not lay charges even though the perpetrator may have been caught or identified. We urge the members of the public to report all crimes to police,” Outhet said.

Huisrowers vroegoggend al bedrywig

Childline happy with 30-year sentence for grandfather RICHARD ROBERTS

DESIRÉE RORKE

@richardjohn_rj

@dezzierorke ’n Egpaar in Brackenfell het Sondag in die vroeë oggendure twee rowers in hul huis aangetref.

Die rowers het toegang tot die huis in Tuscanstraat in Brackenfell-Suid deur die motorhuis verkry.

“Ons het om 03:30 wakker geword toe ons iets in die huis hoor,” het Eben van Tonder ná die voorval op sosiale media gesê.

Volgens die polisie het Van Tonder gaan ondersoek instel en twee onbekende mans in die gang gesien.

“Hulle het met ’n flits in sy gesig geskyn en hom met geweld gedreig,” sê kapt. Erica Crous.

“As gevolg van die skerp lig in sy gesig kon hy nie sien of die rowers gewapen was nie,” sê Crous.

Die rowers het egter omgedraai en weggehardloop en niemand is beseer tydens die rooftog nie. Geen skote is afgevuur nie.

Die rowers het met ’n selfoon, beursie en gereedskapskis weggekom.

Van Tonder het die Brackenfell-polisie vir hul blitsvinnige optrede geprys.

“Binne minute was die polisie hier met drie voertuie. ’n Speurder was binne ’n uur op die toneel en het my ook ’n uiteensetting gegee van hoe om beter voorbereid te wees,” skryf Van Tonder op sy Facebook-blad.

Nog ’n uur later was die forensiese eenheid op die toneel. Die polisie se reaksie was absoluut wêreldklas, sê hy.

C

hildline Western Cape says it welcomes the 30 year sentence for a grandfather (56) convicted of rape, sexual assault and flashing.

The grandfather was sentenced on Thursday 23 July at the Parow Regional Court.

Eric Ntabazalila, spokesperson of the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) says, the victims, two girls, are the perpetrator’s grandchildren. The minors are aged five and nine years.

The court convicted the man on all six charges against him. He was sentenced to five years imprisonment for both counts of sexual assault, 20 years for both counts of rape and five years for both counts of flashing, says Ntabazalila.

Ricki Fransman, Childline executive director, says as an organisation they are pleased with the outcome of the case and that they commend the state for their efforts in securing a conviction for the offender.

“This goes a long way in restoring the faith in the justice system for many who are victims of such heinous crimes, as well as affirming the stand we need to take as a country against the scourge of gender-based violence,” Fransman says.

She told TygerBurger that children do not generally or consistently make up stories of sexual abuse and rape as it is not part of their natural development processes. So when they do disclose such offences, as adults, we must listen and affirm them for being brave, says Fransman.

“We must take what they say seriously and report the matter to the police, which is what the parents of these girls did.

“A strong family support structure as well as emotional support for both the child and the parents or caregivers are vital in such circumstances.”

Fransman says children need to know that when they disclose experiences of this nature, the person that they are disclosing to believes them.

“It takes tremendous effort for a child to make such a disclosure, very often for fear of what the possible negative repercussions could be. One never knows if the victim has been groomed by the perpetrator, nor what the threats may have been made to prevent them from disclosing.”

Fransman says it is critical to have a relationship that encourages open communication between oneself as parents, or caregivers and the child.

“Having a good relationship that allows for open communication with one’s child is the first step in getting children to disclose abuse.

“Parents and caregivers should have general discussions with their children about the different body parts as well as the private parts that must always be kept private and covered.”

She adds that these conversations can be uncomfortable for the adult, but that the child will get the message – that their parents are open to speaking about awkward topics.

“If this is not the relationship that you as parents and caregivers currently have, then

we would encourage you to develop one.

Children also need to know that their parents and caregivers have a zero tolerance for gender-based violence,” says Fransman.

According to her a child who has been sexually abused will often display behaviour changes that could be a sign that something is not right.

“For example, a child who is usually outgoing and chatty may suddenly become withdrawn and quiet, or the child who usually likes to visit a certain place may suddenly be afraid to go there. The child may develop behaviour not formally displayed like wetting the bed or loss of appetite.

“While it is normal for children to display one or more of these examples listed at some stage in their life, when you observe a cluster of out of the ordinary behaviour, this should alert the parents or caregivers that the child may have experienced some kind of trauma and counselling may be needed for the child,” explains Fransman.

She says parents should create a safe space for their children to disclose what may be bothering them, or arrange for their child to speak with a child counsellor to assist them to work through their experience.

They can do this by calling Childline’s crisis line on 0800 055 555. Childline also offers workshops and training to adults, children and professionals with regard to the issue of child sexual abuse.

The NPA said it also welcomes the sentencing of the grandfather as it continues its efforts to fight the scourge of gender-based violence and femicide and crimes against women and children.

Spar has teamed up with the Consumer Goods Council of South Africa (CGCSA) and the department of social development to provide food and essential items to thousands of vulnerable people.

Distribution centres countrywide are in packing and distributing food parcels to hunger-ravaged communities. Over a three-month period, more than 24 000 parcels of essential foods and personal items amounting to over R12 million will be distributed to communities in need.

Spar Western Cape, having co-ordinated the first massive packing logistics, was ready to deliver the first parcels last week.

Robert Brink, Spar Western Cape marketing director, says: “This a significant contribution from Spar and hopefully we can consider a longer-term commitment to this. In light of some negative publicity surrounding food parcels going missing, we need to be sure that we are indeed reaching our most vulnerable.”

Spar shows heart to those in need.

Abandonment is not the only option THABANG KUAHO @thab_journo Mothers who are unable to take care of their newborn babies need not abandon their infants as there are legal options to safely give their little ones away and let them live.

The Children’s Act details different options to mothers who are not able to take care or their babies, explains Joshua Chigome, spokesperson for the provincial social development department.

This follows the arrest of a Bloekombos woman, suspected of concealing the birth of her baby.

The 26-year-old woman was arrested on Friday 23 July and a murder case against her was subsequently opened for investigation by the Kraaifontein family violence, child protection and sexual offences (FCS) unit.

Kraaifontein police spokesperson Capt Hein Hendricks says the woman allegedly gave birth to a baby on Tuesday 14 July before later arriving home without the infant.

A body of a newborn baby was found dumped on vacant land in Old Paarl Road the day after the arrest.

“A post mortem to determine the cause of death would be conducted,” Hendricks says.

Chigome says various placement options as per the statutory process, include foster care with non-family members, placement in a child and youth care centre or recommendation for adoption.

He adds the biological mother goes through extensive counselling on the options available.

Chigome says the department does not fund, neither is it involved with any organisation that has baby “drop boxes” where mothers, who are not able to take care of their infants, can leave them in and walk away. “The department funds various nongovernment organisations (NGOs) in the northern suburbs of Cape Town to render child protection services that biological mothers can approach for help.”

However, he says, various NGOs run educational programmes for expecting mothers

at healthcare facilities to counsel them on the different options available to them.

“The programmes target pregnant women who indicated they do not want their unborn baby. Different options are provided for them to make a more informed choice,” he concluded.

In 2017, for the first time since its inception in 2003, Goodwood-based Ubuntu House made newspaper headlines when a woman left her newborn baby at its doorstep.

Project leader of the home Naas Vermaak, says the facility has only enough capacity to take in 12 children.

“Since 2003 it only happened once at Ubuntu House and should it happen that we find a baby dropped at Ubuntu House, we will immediately have to report it to a social worker and the police,” Vermaak says.

He says babies brought into the facility come directly from social services.

VAnyone with information relating to the dumped body of the baby is urged to contact the Kraaifontein FCS unit on 082 522 1044.

Milnerton resident to kayak to Brazil KAILIN DANIELS @k10daniels

A

fter becoming the first and only person to paddle the entire circumference of the South African coastline in 2012, Richard Kohler from Milnerton is training for his next odyssey at a time when self-isolation is the norm.

In December this year Kohler will paddle 6 700km unsupported from Cape Town to Brazil, something that no one has ever attempted, all while raising funds for Operation Smile.

Sailing the equivalent of three times around the globe as a professional yachtsman, Kohler became the first person to solo kayak around the entire South African

coastline in 2012.

“I have been paddling for 20 years and do so at least four times a week, so I can rely on my muscle memory. My solo kayak around the South African coast was in aid of Miles for Smiles.

“This was after helping David Grier, founder of the Cipla Miles for Smiles, get paddling fit for him to kayak around SA. Things did not work out so I said I would do it in his place and the rest is history,” Kohler said.

He recently completed a gruelling weekend of training for Ocean X by paddling nonstop from the source of the Breede River to the sea, again setting another record having been the only person to achieve this.

The heady task saw Richard paddling for

38 hours, clocking up 310km, and was achieved with no sleep and pushing on through the winter cold.

Sailing has always been in Kohler’s blood, beginning his journey at the age of six to later sailing at international level, including sailing in the 2007 Americas Cup for South Africa aboard the Shosholoza.

He is motivated by raising funds for Operation Smile, and gets to dip his toes into the cold Atlantic Ocean yet again.

“Operation Smile changes people’s lives.

With a 45 min surgery costing about R5 500 it gives them the confidence to smile broadly,” he said.

Having been attacked by a shark during his last mission, his kayak broken in half and all his equipment stolen, Kohler has

learnt the art of never giving up.

The remarkable aspect of this journey into the unknown, is the vessel that will carry Kohler all the way to Brazil. An 8m paddling torpedo allows little leeway to move around after 15 hours and 100km of paddling every day, and every single inch of space needs to be utilised for optimal performance and comfort, Kohler said.

Asking who will be supporting him during this venture, Kohler said he will be sailing solo.

“On the crossing I will be on my own. No support and safety boat or the likes. Everything I need I will have to take with me on my kayak. It would be awesome to get everyone following and getting involved in the project,” he explained.

MOMcon goes online Mothers can expect a weekend full of information during the first free online MOMcon.

The conference, featuring a range of speakers, such as Katherine Wolf and Bob Goff, will be hosted via Zoom on Friday 14 August (19:00 to 21:00) and Saturday 15 August (09:00 to 12:30).

Fraud in Durbanville on the rise Fraudsters seem to have a field day, conning people out of their money.

According to Capt Marchell Rhode, spokesperson of the Durbanville police, there has been an increase in the number of fraud cases reported at the Durbanville police station.

A woman from Vierlanden was defrauded of R4.5 million between 27 August last year and 23 July this year by someone who pretended to want to go into a business partnership with her. The suspect communicated with her by WhatsApp and email and convinced her to transfer money to his or her account, Rhode said.

The victim transferred money several times to the account. She became suspicious and reported the case at the Durbanville police station.

A case of fraud is being investigated, Rhode said.

In the latest fraud incident, a man from Mountainview Road in Durbanville, bought a bicycle on Gumtree.

“He made several payments, but never received the bicycle,” Rhode said.

“The police warns people to be careful when they do business on the internet or not to just pay money into an unknown account,” he said.

Valuation appeals go virtual ESMÉ ERASMUS @erasmusesme

P

roperty owners who have objected against the 2018 property valuation, can now appeal if they are not satisfied with the outcome of their municipal valuation.

Most property owners recently received the outcome of their objection against their property valuation – more than a year after they have submitted it.

The closing date to appeal against this decision is 3 September, leaving little time to prepare.

Also, it can take up to 30 days to receive the motivation for the decision, if requested. Thus, most property owners may not have the opportunity to see the motivation for the decision before the deadline for appeals.

The appeals form must be obtained via email to valuationsappeals@capetown.gov.za, but TygerBurger knows of at least one person who did not receive a reply in two weeks.

Luthando Tyhalibongo, media manager of the City of Cape Town, said some delays may be experienced due to a recent influx of emails into this email account and the challenges with remote working.

“Property owners will not be prejudiced as a result of delayed responses by the valuation department,” he said.

“Valuation department staff members have, despite various challenges, effectively responded to more than 7 000 emails since the lockdown started. We endeavour to respond to emails in the shortest time possible,” he said.

Two new independent valuation appeal boards have been appointed by the Western Cape government and agreed on 27 July not to delay the appeal hearings any further.

According to Tyhalibongo this will ensure an approach of mitigating the risks associated with the Covid-19 pandemic and so that the consideration of appeals would not be stalled any longer.

Arrangements are currently being made to commence with the remote appeal hearings during the last week of August already, she said.

An email to property owners who submitted appeals will be sent during the next week to explain the remote appeal hearing processes.

V Reasons for the property valuations and prescribed appeal forms can be requested by sending an email to valuationsappeals@capetown.gov.za.

Helpende Hand help versorgers Solidariteit Helpende Hand doen ’n beroep op die publiek om dié te help pamperlang wat op die voorgrond in ouetehuise werk.

Volgens Alisha de Lange, Helpende Hand se streekorganiseerder, het haar span verskeie ouetehuise geskakel om te hoor wat hul grootste uitdagings en behoeftes te midde van die Covid-19-pandemie is.

Sy sê hoewel talle bejaardes swaarkry en groot uitdagings ervaar, kry die versorgers van bejaardes net so swaar.

“Ewe skielik is hulle nie net die versorger nie, maar moet hulle ook vrae beantwoord oor die virus, hulle moet familie se plek inneem wat nie kan kom kuier nie en soms oor en oor verduidelik waarom dinge tans so

uitdagend is. Dit, terwyl baie van hulle vrees om self siek te word en moontlik ’n bejaarde kan aansteek. Ons het daarom besluit om vir die versorgers met bederfpakkies dankie te sê,” verduidelik De Lange.

Sy moedig die publiek aan om hul dankbaarheid teenoor die versorgers te wys en hul dankiesê-projek te ondersteun.

“Ons het reeds ’n lys van die name van die versorgers in verskeie ouetehuise reg oor die Wes-Kaap. Die publiek kan dus vir iemand in hul dorp ’n spesiale pakkie saamstel.”

Die waarde van die boksie is sowat R150 en die inhoud kan bestaan uit ’n persoonlike briefie, iets wat lekker proe en iets wat lekker ruik.

ideo’s van ’n oënskynlike padwoedevoorval in Soneike, waarby ’n minibus-taxi en ’n bakkie op Sondag 26 Julie betrokke was, het soos ’n veldbrand op sosiale media versprei.

Inwoners en ander kommentators het met skok gereageer en die gedrag in die video’s as onmenslik beskryf. Daar kan onder meer gesien word hoe ’n man, wat reeds geval het, deur twee of drie ander herhaaldelik met ’n graaf en wat lyk soos ’n panga geslaan word.

Sommige het beweer dit was ’n tuindienste-bakkie en dat die gereedskap as wapens ingespan is. ’n Vrou wat blykbaar ’n ooggetuie was, het gesê die taxi en bakkie het gebots, waarna “die hel los was” toe albei partye mekaar begin aanval het. Sy het beweer die swart bakkie, wat in een van die video’s gesien kan word waar dit vinnig agteruit teen die taxi vasry, was nie direk betrokke nie, maar het dit gedoen om te probeer help.

“Dit was vreeslik om te sien; net bly my kinders het dit nie gesien nie,” skryf sy.

Kol. André Traut, provinsiale polisiewoordvoerder, het verlede week gesê die omstandighede rondom die voorval en ’n saak van poging tot moord word ondersoek.

Hy sê die Kuilsrivier-polisie is omstreeks 14:40 na die toneel in Gladiolistraat ontbied. Volgens inligting het iets tussen die taxi en die bakkie op Bottelaryweg gebeur.

Albei voertuie het gery tot in Gladiolistraat, waar ’n geveg tussen die insittendes van die voertuie uitgebreek het. Twee mense het ernstige beserings opgedoen en is in die hospitaal opgeneem. Twee mans, 39 en 52 jaar oud, is in hegtenis geneem.

Robbers leave in a cloud of scent Five robbers broke the front door of Clicks in the De Ville Shopping Centre in Durbanville with a sledgehammer on Thursday 30 July and got away with perfume worth R18 000.

According to Capt Marchell Rhode, spokesperson of the Durbanville police, the men entered the shopping centre at about 19:20 after all the shops had closed already.

“A security guard in the centre heard a noise and went to investigate. He was held at gunpoint by one of the robbers. They also took his two cellphones,” Rhode said.

“One of the suspects had a sledgehammer with him and broke the front door of Clicks.

They went to the perfume cabinets and took different perfumes,” Rhode said.

The five suspects fled the scene in a white Toyota Hilux bakkie.

“No arrests have been made at this stage.

No shots were fired, and nobody was injured,” he said.

Second chance for firearm amnesty A new firearm amnesty period of six months came into effect on Saturday 1 August and will expire on 31 January 2021.

It provides firearm owners with the opportunity to hand in illegal and unwanted firearms and ammunition at their nearest police station, either for destruction or renewal of a competency certificate and a valid licence.

No indemnity will be granted for firearms that have been used to commit any crime.

According to a statement from national police all firearms that have been handed in will undergo ballistic testing to ensure it had not been used in the commission of any crime, before it can be considered for destruction.

During the first amnesty period 46 714 firearms were handed in.

Creative Hope Art Box skep hoop ESMÉ ERASMUS @erasmusesme

M

et die nasionale inperking moes ook Creative Hope, ’n projek wat kunsklasse aan bejaardes bied, nuwe planne uitdink.

Creative Hope het in Mei en Junie voortgegaan met sy projek om kunssessies aan bejaardes in 11 aftree- en versorgingsoorde in Durbanville, Bellville en Panorama te bied. Kunssessies is net nie meer in lewende lywe aangebied nie, maar groot plastiekhouers met die kunsmateriaal is by die aftreeoorde afgelaai sodat die bejaardes steeds met die projekte kon voortgaan met die hulp van die susters of versorgers aan diens.

Penny Jansen van Vuuren, stigter van die projek, het Creative Hope in Augustus 2017 met slegs twee aftreeoorde begin.

Voor die nasionale inperking het sy 12 kunssessies per week vir 100 tot 120 bejaardes aangebied.

In Julie het Creative Hope egter verder die wind van voor gekry toe bejaardes al meer in isolasie geplaas is.

“Groepsessies kon selde plaasvind en daar was voortdurend ’n personeeltekort,” sê Jansen van Vuuren.

“Die gemoedstoestand van die bejaardes is baie laag en veral die feit dat hulle nie hul geliefdes kan sien of besoek nie, maak dit net soveel moeiliker.

“Die arme susters en versorgers is ook uitgebrand en bekommerd oor die verantwoordelikheid wat hulle moet dra om te voorkom dat ons oumense die virus kry,” sê sy.

Tussendeur het die aftreeoorde ook finansiële druk en moes twee aftreeoorde met altesame 20 deelnemers hul deelname staak. Creative Hope het ook van sy borge verloor.

Uit dié mismoed is egter ’n heel nuwe konsep gebore.

“Die Here het ’n idee op my hart gelê nadat ’n vrou navraag gedoen het oor die kunssessies vir haar ma, wat nie in ’n aftreeoord woon nie,” sê sy.

En só het ’n hele nuwe konsep, Creative Hope Art Box, die lig gesien.

“Baie aftreeoorde is ook opgewonde oor die projek vir hul meer onafhanklike inwoners, wat nou nie meer so baie kan rondbeweeg soos tevore nie en ook daarby kan baat vind.

“Hulle wil nie meer na aktiwiteitsentrums gaan nie en verkies om hul eie kuns in die gemak van hul woning te beoefen,” sê Jansen van Vuuren.

Dala Produkte het ook aan boord gekom en die projek word vandeesmaand van stapel gestuur.

Die Creative Hope Art Box sal bestaan uit al die kunsprodukte wat jy benodig om die hele maand se kunsprojekte te kan doen, soos onder meer inkleurkryte, gom en verf.

Daar sal vier verskillende kunsprogramme wees. Deelnemers kan ’n maandelikse fooi betaal om daaraan deel te neem.

“Ons mag nie opgee nie, waar daar ’n Jesuswil is, is daar ’n Jesusweg,” sê sy.

World of sound opens up for toddler after implant surgery For two-year-old Sage Cloete the outlook on life has just become a little “clearer”.

This is due to a recent successful cochlear implant surgery which she had undergone at Tygerberg Hospital. The implant enables her to hear sound.

A cochlear implant is a small electronic device that can provide sound to people who have significant hearing loss, says Laticia Pienaar, hospital spokesperson.

“Sage was born with bilateral profound hearing loss which was diagnosed at the age of 18 months at the Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital.

“She was fitted with hearing aids in January which were of little help due to the severity of her hearing loss,” says Pienaar.

Sage was then referred to the cochlear implant unit at Tygerberg Hospital where she was found to be a good candidate for implantation. She underwent her surgery on 23 June and she was activated on 9 July. Activation is when the internal component of the cochlear implant system is connected to the external sound processor worn behind the ear by means of audiological programming.

Currently Sage is in the mapping and programming stage, which includes weekly mapping Little Sage Cloete after her cochlear implant surgery at sessions for about four weeks. In Tygerberg Hospital. addition, she continues to receive weekly online therapy sessions via Zoom Jennifer Perold, audiologist and coordinawith her speech-language therapist at the tor of the cochlear implant unit, says: “It is Carel du Toit Centre.

CORONAVIRUS/COVID-19 BURGEMEESTER SE JULIE-TOESPRAAK VOOR DIE STADSRAAD Belangrike hoogtepunte vir inwoners: • Ek wil graag my simpatie betuig teenoor die families, vriende en geliefdes van almal wat oor die afgelope paar weke aan Covid-19 gesterf het.

• Die nasionale regering moet gehoor gee aan die beroepe van die gasvryheids-, toerisme-, wyn- en ander groot sektore. Hierdie bedrywe kan veilig oopmaak maar bly meestal ingeperk en beperk. Enige besigheid wat veilig kan oopmaak, moet toegelaat word om dit te doen.

•

’n Stadseiendom van R56 miljoen sal aan die provinsie oorgedra word vir die verdere ontwikkeling van die Atlantis- spesiale ekonomiese sone. Hierdeur sal duisende werksgeleenthede ontsluit word en miljarde oor die volgende 15 jaar tot die streekekonomie gevoeg word.

•

Die Stad stel grond in Khayelitsha beskikbaar vir die bou van ’n private hospitaal. Ons is bly ons kan tot vooruitgang vir die gemeenskap bydra.

•

’n Beroep word op gemeenskappe gedoen om dié wat grond wil beset of eiendom vernietig, te rapporteer.

Pogings om grond te beset, bedreig projekte vir behuising en menslike nedersettings ter waarde van R1,3 miljard. Verlede week is die grond vir ’n behuisingsprojek van R50 miljoen in Makhaza onwettig beset, wat die regte van 420 families ondermyn wat geduldig op ’n baksteenhuis wag. Pogings tot besetting by die Blueberry Hill-behuisingsterrein in Eersterivier dreig ook om 1 500 begunstigdes te ondermyn. Die Stad doen alles in sy vermoë om onwettige besettings te bekamp, en ons sal bly opstaan vir die oorweldigende meerderheid wetsgehoorsame inwoners.

•

Die Stad is gereed om die hofaansoek deur die SA Menseregtekommissie (MRK) teen te staan waarvolgens gevra word dat die gemenereg-reg om eiendom te beskerm, onwettig verklaar word. Die MRK vra die Hooggeregshof vir ’n interdik om grondeienaars te verhoed om leë, onbewoonde strukture te verwyder as ’n manier om die eiendom teen besetting te beskerm. Die kommissie vra ook vir die nietigverklaring van alle bestaande hofbevele wat die Stad toestemming gee om spesifieke terreine teen onwettige besetting te beskerm.

Dit sal ’n gevaarlike presedent skep en die magte van die Grondwet ver oorskry.

•

Ek is dankbaar teenoor al die Stadspersoneel, die diensverskaffers en ons vennote in die provinsiale regering wat dag en nag werk om gesondheidsfasiliteite gereed te kry, verseker dat toetsfasiliteite geredelik beskikbaar is, duisende ondersteuningspakkies aan klein ondernemings versprei sodat hulle veilig kan heropen, kosmiddele aan duisende inwoners in nood verskaf, en die manier waarop ons werk, aanpas sodat ons ons dienslewering kan voortsit.

Vooruitgang is moontlik, en ons kan die probleme wat ons in die gesig staar, as Een Stad Tesame oorkom.

Covid stabilises, but unemployment rises DESIRÉE RORKE @dezzierorke

T

he coronavirus pandemic is showing a decline in some areas of Cape Town and the rest of the Western Cape, while in stark contrast the “unemployment pandemic” is taking root.

Premier Alan Winde last week called for urgent talks with national minister of cooperative governance and traditional affairs, Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, and minister of health, Dr Zweli Mkhize, about the humanitarian crisis that stares the province in the face due to the impact of regulations on the Western Cape’s economy.

The office of the premier on Friday 31 July confirmed they anticipate that almost 240 000 jobs will be lost in the province across all sectors as a result of the pandemic and lockdown.

The Cape metro public health system is currently coping with the demands of the pandemic with a total capacity of 71%, for Covid-19 and non-Covid-19 patients, according to Winde.

“The health department has been studying a number of indicators available to us, including the positivity rate of Covid-19 tests, the number of new Covid-19 deaths, the number of Covid-19 hospitalisations in both the public and private sector, and the number of infected healthcare workers to ascertain trends in the pandemic,” he said on Tuesday 29 July.

This data indicates early, but positive signs that infections are starting to plateau.

Winde says businesses still closed, where they can open safely, must be allowed to do so, to mitigate the dire consequences on vulnerable communities in the province.

“While this is good news, it does not mean

that we can rest on our laurels. We must keep our curve moving in the right direction, downwards. If we let our foot off the pedal now, and don’t continue to change our behaviour, then we risk new flare-ups and an acceleration of cases in the future. We cannot allow this to happen.”

Up until 29 July, the Brackenfell field hospital had admitted 82 patients, of which 65 were discharged, and had no deaths. The Hospital of Hope has admitted 1 366 patients to date. By 29 July there had been 150 discharges, and 77 deaths. The Thusong Centre, Khayelitsha, has admitted 234 patients, with 31 deaths to date.

“From the very beginning, I have argued that we should not treat our Covid-19 response as a zero-sum game. We can save lives now and do so in a way that will also save lives in the future. The reality is that we are facing a serious humanitarian crisis in the Western Cape, as tens of thousands of people lose their jobs, and access to income.

A job is not a ‘nice-to-have’, it is the difference between putting food on the table and starving,” he said. Discussions to be made are aimed at the adverse effects on major job creation sectors that impact citizens in the province to make a living, according to Winde’s spokesperson, Bianca Capazorio.

These, she says, include tourism, the restaurant industry, agri-processing and certain retail sectors which are being affected by the ban on liquor sales.

By 30 July the Tygerberg district of Cape Town had recorded a total number of 11 419 positive cases and the northern district 5 364 cases. According to the provincial health Covid-19 dashboard, regions in the northern suburbs of the City that feature in the top-20 list of the highest incidences are, Delft (885), Dunoon (590) and Kuils River (536).

Plans to cap asbestos dumpsite DESIRÉE RORKE @dezzierorke Plans to develop the old asbestos dumpsite in Brackenfell Industria is well underway.

When completed the land will boast a new development for industrial use.

Engineers appointed to construct the environmental capping of the soil and the civil engineer who will deal with future services such as water, sewage and internal road design, visited the site a fortnight ago.

Local company Segway in March acquired shares in Durobrick (Pty) Ltd for an undisclosed amount.

Pieter Smith from Segway says the appli-

cation for plans to cap the soil is currently being finalised and consultants are engaging with the national department of environmental affairs over the procedural timeline.

“Due to the historic use of the land (as an asbestos factory) we are hoping to have the application dealt with on an urgent basis,” he says.

The soil capping process will render the land safe for development by preventing any asbestos fibres being emitted into the air during construction.

This R45 million project entails the containment of the asbestos from the surrounding area by specialised material.

Fairy godparents take to the streets THABANG KUAHO @thab_journo

L

ocal non-profit organisation Fountain Angels Pantry, which launched at the start of lockdown, took its fundraising initiative aimed at providing food to 100 underprivileged Kraaifontein and Brackenfell families, to the streets on Saturday 1 August.

Members of the organisation dressed up in fairy outfits and stood at the traffic lights opposite Okavango Crossing Shopping Centre on Okavango Road, entertaining motorists and hoping that coins or maybe even bank notes, would be dropped into the cute little pink piggy banks they were holding.

The blik skud, as they called the fun-filled event, was a first for the organisation and

they fully enjoyed it.

“With the blik skud, we thought we could try and get the community to also help a little bit and, at the same time, to see the faces behind this young initiative,” spokesperson Celeste Mellet says.

Mellet says proceeds from this event will go towards buying dry ingredients for food packs that will be given to the families.

This idea of fundraising came about when founding members ruled out the traditional way of asking established businesses for donations.

“Because all members were already donating ingredients for the food themselves, we thought of including the community.”

She says their plans were executed well and what stood out was the enthusiasm and

ASPIRE TO INSPIRE

By Zintle Maliwa, Marketing Assistant: Corporate Communications & Marketing College of Cape Town

In the words of Nelson Mandela, "Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world." Education is fundamental to development and growth. Growth, development and poverty reduction is dependent on the knowledge and skills acquired. Two College of Cape Town lecturers “aspire to inspire” others, through education and equality of all citizens.

Dr. Charles Mbayi completed his PhD in Mathematics and Mrs. Noreth Muller-Kluits was selected to render an oral presentation at the Social Work Education and Social Development (SWESD) Conference in Rimini, Italy. The oral presentation will be based on her abstract titled: “Social Work and Rehabilitation – ensuring a free and just society inclusive of all persons with disabilities as equal citizens.”

The abstract forms part of her current doctoral research study she's currently pursuing.

Lecturer graduates with PhD in Mathematics Dr. Charles Mbayi, a lecturer at Pinelands Campus recently graduated with a PhD in Mathematics from the University of Western Cape. His passion for teaching and learning has inspired him to study mathematics.

Dr. Mbayi pursued his tertiary education in his home country, the Democratic Republic of Congo. After obtaining his Bachelor’s degree in Statistic Mathematics and spending ten years as a Mathematics lecturer, he relocated to South Africa.

willingness of motorists to help.

“We found Kraaifontein and Brackenfell drivers were great fun and very friendly.

People were supportive and interested in our work. Based on the fun we had, and funds raised, we will definitely be doing another collection.”

She says the next one will probably take place in a parking lot of a shopping centre that is yet to be decided.

Funds raised during the blik skud were enough to feed the 100 families for a week.

“We are so blessed and grateful to everyone who donated, and we know we will grow from strength to strength.”

The NPO was started by 10 people who decided to cook and deliver food to, and raise funds for families that do not have much.

“This carried on while we discovered more families that could benefit from this initiative.”

When lockdown regulations were eased and some members returned to work Fountain Angels Pantry, now a registered NPO, halted providing cooked food to the families and started providing them with meal packs.

“Apart from our own money, we have been surviving on donations from friends and family and had to stretch the funds as far as we possibly could. At the same time, we had to ensure that food packs were as nutritious as they were cost effective.”

Food parcels consist of seven different “just add water” meals, which can also be prepared with milk.

Lecturer set to render an oral presentation at the SWESD Conference in Italy Mrs. Noreth Muller-Kluits, a lecturer at the Crawford Campus, in the NC(V) Primary Health Department, has her abstract selected for oral presentation at the Social Work Education and Social Development (SWESD) Conference in Rimini, Italy. The abstract is based on “Social Work and Rehabilitation – ensuring a free and just society inclusive of all persons with disabilities as equal citizens” is based on her current doctoral research study she is pursuing.

The focus of the oral presentation will demonstrate how social work can contribute to the rehabilitation of persons with disabilities, especially when integrating into society. This conference will be hosted by the International Association of Schools of Social Work (IASSW) and the International Council on Social Welfare (ICSW). The conference planned to take place in June 2020, but due to the global COVID-19 pandemic outbreak was postponed to November 2020.

The interest in disability has developed over the years, she has both a personal and professional background in the eld. She has been involved with disability awareness at the college, including in 2018 facilitating an awareness talk hosted by NC(V) Primary Health Level 2 students on the accessibility of Crawford campus which was attended by College Executive. She is currently doing her doctoral degree in social work at Stellenbosch University focusing on experiences of adults with an acquired physical disability on social work support. She enjoys doing qualitative research as it provides participants with the opportunity to share their stories. She hopes to be able to further advocate for persons with disabilities as a minority group that could affect anyone at any time.

Once settled in South Africa, Dr. Mbayi obtained his Master’s degree, Mathematics and Applied Mathematics from the University of the Western Cape. He then joined the academic team at the College of Cape Town, Pinelands Campus as a Mathematics lecturer. Dr. Mbayi uses every opportunity to encourage students to be passionate about Mathematics and the application thereof. “My passion for mathematics grew during my high school career.

Solving math problems gives me a real pleasure as it allows for both critical and relative thinking. I remember when I was in high school, I was always good in mathematics than any other subjects. “I enjoy calculations and numbers” said Dr. Mbayi.

Conservation team kills two birds with one stone ESMÉ ERASMUS @erasmusesme

T

his year the Mosselbank River Conservation Team (MRCT) combined two projects, its Mandela Day clean-up and the launch of Plastic Free July, into one project.

The MRCT was started as project by Garden Cities, but has since soared to play a huge environmental role in Greenville. The community initiative is aimed at rehabilitating and maintaining the social, ecological and amenity value of the Mosselbank River corridor in Greenville.

More than 150 volunteers collected 143 bags – removing 375.5kg of waste.

Plastic Free July is a global movement that helps millions of people to be part of the solution to plastic pollution, “so that we can have cleaner streets, oceans, rivers and beautiful communities”, says Danielle Cronje, environmental officer of Garden Cities.

“By joining the challenge, you commit to cutting your single-use plastic items by refusing the use of straws, plastic cutlery, bags and replacing them with alternatives such as metal straws and material bags,” she says.

The MRCT brainstormed and wondered how they could incorporate this challenge into the Greenville and Fisantekraal community. “We then approached two local women in the community to assist us with crafting material bags that we would then hand out to the children to paint on and personalise it – thereby encouraging the chil-

The children proudly show off their painted shopping bags. Children and their parents were encouraged to say no to single-use plastic bags and rather use material bags. dren to say no to plastic bags and use their material bags,” she says.

This project was launched on Mandela Day on 18 July.

“The children and their parents were encouraged to say no to single-use plastic bags and rather use material bags. We handed out 100 bags and hope to double this next year.

We had some beautiful, creative designs and hope that the children will share this message with their friends,” Cronje says.

The day was ended with soup and vetkoek handed out by Lizzy’s Soup Kitchen, run by Elizabeth Maans, also chairperson of the MRCT, and her group of volunteers.

Prevention key to self-defence RACINE EDWARDES racine.edwardes@media24.com

“E

verybody needs to ensure their personal safety, including children,” says Kelee Arrowsmith who will present a free self-defence series online in partnership with TygerBurger’s sister newspapers People’s Post and City Vision.

Arrowsmith founded ACT (Advanced Conflict Training) Personal Safety in response to a lifechanging attack which happened about 20 years ago. At the time, she was working as a repo agent.

“One day I went to pick up a big screen TV from a rather large lady who really did not want to give it back. I tried to convince her that it was the right thing to do, but in short, she picked me up and threw me down a flight of stairs,”

she writes on the company website.

Having survived the harrowing ordeal, she began to develop a safety methodology that would work for anyone – from a housewife to a businessman and everyone in between. Personal safety, Arrowsmith says, is more about prevention than being physically ready for a fight.

“It’s the mental preparation, learning to set boundaries, learning about awareness, learning what the bad guy looks like,” she explains.

“Being safe has a lot more to do with prevention than actually physically getting into it. I would say about 90% of violent confrontations can be prevented by doing things before you get into the attack”.

While her client-base is mainly

women, she says men can also benefit from learning about personal safety.

“Most of our clients are women because women tend to feel a lot more vulnerable than men. They enrol to defend themselves against the ‘bad guys’ ”.

But, she adds: “We get men who have really thought through their personal safety – like what would they do if two criminals kicked their doors in and rushed in with guns.”

With South Africa suffering the scourge of domestic violence and gender-based violence, Arrowsmith says women especially will benefit from learning the principles of personal safety and self-defence.

“It gives you a lot of confidence and a lot more awareness. Once you start doing self-defence of any

“About 90% of violent confrontations can be prevented by doing things before you get into the attack.” kind, your surroundings become a lot more important to you, you start to look at things differently; so that would make a big difference to your safety,” she explains.

Arrowsmith adds that being mentally prepared for a confrontation, if the situation escalates that far, is beneficial.

“If a woman knows some basic

self-defence, it will make a massive difference (in an altercation).

But she has to be mentally prepared to go through with whatever physical things she decides to do, because just one kick in the groin most likely isn’t going to just end that type of violence – especially if it’s a spouse,” she says.

The online events will cover six topics: . Ever wondered what a bad guy “looks” like? . The spicy side of your pepper spray. . Here’s how your kids can protect themselves. . Did you know your house has safety layers? . Split-second decisions when confronted with violence. . What does a safe room in your home look like?

Elderly couple isolate together at facility SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS @samantha_lee121 For many, the thought of isolating from your loved ones for several days after testing positive for Covid-19 can be daunting. Especially if you are in the high-risk category.

But for Valarie and Jacob Bruiners, who have been married for 35 years, spending time together in one of the province’s Covid-19 isolation facility for a few days was like a second honeymoon, making their marital bond even stronger.

Jacob (67) is wheelchair-bound and suffers from diabetes and hypertension. When he started having breathing difficulties at home, he was tested for Covid-19.

After he received his positive result, they were informed of their isolation options and chose to quarantine at a Western Cape health isolation facility in the Cape Town metropole.

“I was very calm and did not panic when I found out I had the Coronavirus, because if you stress, then you will make yourself even sicker,” says Jacob.

“The department arranged for the Red Dot taxi to collect me, and I had to leave my wife behind because I could not safely isolate at home and I understood that it was the best decision for my family.”

Valerie (71), who is a community worker, volunteers making food for a local feeding scheme. After her husband tested positive she

“After all, it is not right for a wife to be in a strange place without her husband,” says Valerie. “The staff were so helpful. They made arrangements to have me isolate in a double room with my husband.”

Jacob was happy to have his wife with him which lifted his already positive spirits even more.

“When I saw my wife, I felt so much better and was very happy that we and the love I have for my wife could be together again, my spirit grew even stronger. We bonded was lifted,” says Jacob. with each other and the place was The Bruiners were provided peaceful.

“The place is wheelchair friendThe provincial government has ly, the staff are helpful and caring established several isolation facili-

ties to assist those unable to safely quarantine at home. Quarantine is defined in the State of National Disaster Regulations as the restriction of activities or separation of a person who was, or may potentially have been exposed, to Covid-19, such a person has the potential to spread the disease to others. The aim of quarantine is to prevent the spread of Covid-19 infection and contamination.

Isolation is defined in these regulations as separating a sick person with a contagious disease from healthy people. The aim of isolation is to prevent the spread of in-

fection and contamination.

Monique Johnstone, spokesperson for the provincial department of health, says if more than one person tests positive, they can be given the option of isolating together as was in the case of the Bruiners.

“We do isolate families and couples together if they have multiple people residing in a home and cannot safely isolate separately from their high-risk family members,” she says.

The facilities are available to anyone who needs them.

“These facilities are available to everyone who cannot safely isolate at home to protect their vulnerable loved ones and there is no cost involved. We arrange for the Red Dot taxi service to collect the person at home and transport them safely back home once the isolation and quarantine period is completed. We encourage people to pack sufficient clothes and snacks for the duration of their stay,” says Johnstone.

Three healthy meals are served daily.

V If you have been diagnosed as positive for Covid-19 you should go into quarantine for 10 days. If you are not able to quarantine yourself safely at home, call the provincial hotline at 021 928 4102 for help.

Musieklesse nóú agter skerm gebied RICHARD ROBERTS @richardjohn_rj

S

edert die uitbreek van die Covid-19pandemie het verskeie ondernemings, organisasies en instansies hul werkswyse en manier van doen drasties aangepas.

Een van die instansies wat nie die impak van die pandemie en die gepaardgaande inperking kon vryspring nie, is die Hugo Lambrechts-musieksentrum in Parow, wat ook weens dié situasie sy manier van klasgee moes aanpas. Daar word deesdae van agter ’n deurskynende plastiekskerm klas gegee of oudisies uitgevoer, sê dr. Arisa Voges, hoof van die sentrum.

Die musieksentrum is deel van die WesKaapse Onderwysdepartement en volg die gewone skoolkwartaalrogram.

“Ons is dus onderhewig aan wat van bo besluit word; ons is nie ’n onafhanklike mu-

sieksentrum of privaatskool nie. As die president sê maak oop, dan maak ons oop; as hy sê maak toe, dan maak ons toe,” sê Voges.

Die sentrum bied tans klasse aanlyn aan.

Die sentrum maak op Woensdag 12 Augustus weer sy deure vir alle leerders oop.

“Ons het so vroeg as April vanjaar besluit om soveel leerders moontlik aanlyn te akkommodeer.

“Ons was gelukkig in die sin dat sowat 80% tot 90% van ons leerders toegang het tot toestelle soos rekenaars, selfone en tablette, waarmee hulle ons aanlyn onderrig kon fasiliteer.

“Ons onderwysers is almal rekenaarvaardig en almal het toegang tot rekenaars.”

Klasse is onder meer via WhatsApp-klankopnames en video’s gedoen.

“Die leerder maak ’n kort opname van hom- of haarself wat ’n klein uittreksel speel en stuur dit dan aan die onderwyser, wat dit

Só word klas en oudisies deesdae by die Hugo Lambrechts-musieksentrum in McIntyreweg in Parow aangebied.

Liam Burden (links), ’n opvoeder, luister aandagtig terwyl een van die leerders, Truhann van der Poel, ’n oudisie aflê vir ’n plek by die musieksentrum.

bestudeer en ook kritiseer, waarna dit teruggestuur word aan die leerder met die nodige instruksies.” Voges sê huiswerk is ook aan leerders op dié wyse gestuur.

Daar is ook telefoonoproepe gemaak op dae wanneer daar nie genoeg data was nie.

“Dan is daar ook die meer gespesialiseerde platforms. Zoom was baie gewild, want dit is maklik. Skype was ook baie gewild.”

Ander platforms sluit in Google, Gmail en Facebook.

“Alles het maar afgehang van die onderwyser en die leerder.”

Selfs nadat die skole geleidelik oopgemaak het, het ’n groot aantal leerders besluit om verder aanlyn klas te ontvang.

“Dit bly die verkose manier van die ouers, want dis gemaklik, hulle hoef nie in te ry na die sentrum nie, ons kan ons tyd beter benut en natuurlik is daar die groot veiligheids- en gesondheidsaspek.” ’n Uitdaging met aanlyn onderrig is egter die internetspoed, omdat optiese vesel nog nie in McIntyreweg, Parow beskikbaar is nie, sê Voges.

Ander probleme wat hulle ervaar het sedert die inperking was dié met die sentrum se ontwikkelingsprogram vir leerders van die Kaapse Vlakte. Net ’n paar van die leerders kon aanlyn klas ontvang.

Voges sê die sentrum se bestuurspan vergader deesdae via Microsoft Teams, maar een keer per week hou die span ’n aangesigtot-aangesig vergadering – almal natuurlik met maskers aan. Buiten vir die maskers, word gesigskerms ook gebruik en word fisieke afstand deur die onderwysers en leerders gehandhaaf.

Voges sê leerders wat instrumente bespeel soos viool en klavier mag hul maskers aanhou wanneer die klas aan die gang is, maar dan is daar probleme wanneer leerders blaasinstrumente of sangonderrig ontvang, want dan moet die maskers verwyder word.

“Daarom het ons groot, deurskynende

plastiekskerms gekry. Dis twee meter hoog en party twee tot drie meter breed met wiele. Ons het ’n paar daarvan ontvang,” sê Voges. Dit beperk die druppels wat moontlik versprei kan word. Daar vind ook gereeld sanitasie plaas, sê sy.

Voges sê die hele proses wat veroorsaak is deur die pandemie, was ’n uitdaging.

“Dit was nie maklik nie. Die moeilikste ding om te oorkom is die aanvanklike angs en spanning wanneer jy die eerste keer weer moet begin werk.”

Dit het egter tot dusver vir almal goed uitgewerk, sê sy.

“Die meeste van ons kollegas is gesond,” sê Voges.

Byna alle groot geleenthede vir die jaar by die musieksentrum is afgestel.

IMPAK VAN COVID-19 OP VULLISVERWYDERING Jy kan steeds op ons staatmaak om, solank dit enigsins moontlik is, elke week jou vullisdrom te verwyder.

Ongelukkig het COVID-19 en gewelddadige protesoptrede soms ’n uitwerking op ons diens aan jou.

Soms sal jou vullisdrom nie verwyder word op die gewone dag en tyd wat jy verwag nie, maar ons sal wel jou drom verwyder.

Normaalweg verwyder ons net vullis wat binne-in die drom geplaas word, maar wanneer vertragings soos hierdie voorkom, sal ons ook die ekstra vullissakke langs jou vol drom verwyder.

Soms moet ons ons depots op kort kennisgewing vir dekontaminasie sluit wanneer personeel positief vir COVID-19 toets, waarna daar tydperke van kwarantyn moet wees wat die aantal beskikbare personeellede verminder. Dan verloop sake ongelukkig nie soos gewoonlik by ons nie.

Een van die dinge wat ons egter in hierdie uitdagende tyd aanspoor, is die ondersteuning wat ons vullisverwyderingspersoneel van ons gemeenskappe kry. Dankie daarvoor!

Help ons asseblief om die vrag te help dra deur, waar moontlik, herwinning en tuiskompostering te oorweeg, sodat daar plek in jou vullisdrom is indien daar vertragings is.

Nuwe toerusting vir Fisantekraal-buurtwag ESMÉ ERASMUS @erasmusesme

M

isdaad in Fisantekraal het ’n dwarsklap gekry met die akkreditasie van die heel eerste buurtwag van dié woongebied buite Durbanville.

Die buurtwag met sy 29 lede, die Fisantekraal-buurtwag, is reeds in 2017 begin, maar het verlede week gehoor sy akkreditasie by die provinsiale departement van gemeenskapsveiligheid was suksesvol.

Die buurtwag kom nou in aanmerking vir hulpbronne, finansiering en opleiding.

Dit het gevolg ná ’n uitgerekte adminis­tratiewe proses oor meer as 18 maande om aan al die nodige vereistes te voldoen.

Die buurtwag is deur die Durbanville-ge-

meenskapspolisiëringsforum gehelp met die stigting en voorbereiding van hul aansoek vir akkreditasie.

Volgens Ruan Beneke, raadslid vir wyk 105 van Stad Kaapstad, wat Fisantekraal insluit, het hy R70 000 van sy wykstoekennings beskikbaar gestel dat die buurtwag op die been kan kom.

“Fisantekraal het die hoogste misdaadsyfer in Durbanville en dit maak net sin dat ’n buurtwag in dié area geregistreer word.

“Met die onlangse toename in misdaad in Fisantekraal behoort die buurtwag ’n belangrike rol te speel om misdaad te bekamp,” het Beneke gesê.

Die nuwe toerusting is onlangs aan die buurtwaglede oorhandig. Dit sluit in fietse, valhelms, radio’s, beffies, kopligte en nood-

Elizabeth Maans, voorsitter van die buurtwag, het gesê die gemeenskap verwelkom die werksaamhede van die buurtwag.

“Ons wil meer mans uitnooi om by die buurtwag aan te sluit,” het sy gesê.

Maans het Maritha Roukema van die Dur-

banville-gemeenskapspolisiëringsforum, Ruan Beneke en lt.kol. Theo Fisher van die Durbanville-polisie bedank vir hul hulp met al die prosesse om as buurtwag te registreer.

‘Around the world’ at home SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS @samantha_lee121

T

hey say when the travel bug has bitten, there’s no getting rid of it. And for the Rhoode family, not even the travel ban imposed during lockdown could stop them from seeing and tasting the world.

Samantha, her husband, Greg, and fouryear-old son, Jaegger, hosted countrythemed evenings which saw them celebrate the culture of various countries and ward off cabin fever.

“Basically it all started with lockdown giving us cabin fever. I was tired of making the same kind of food and my son, who loves to go out and explore, was pretty frustrated of being at home,” says Samantha.

“I thought why not make Mexican food and set the table and decor for the mood, then my son suggested we dress up, which I thought was a brilliant idea. So with it being level five, we looked around the house for what we could use for decor and wear to pretend we were actually in Mexico.”

On that first evening, Saturday 25 April, they set the dining area, dressed in character, made the food and played Mexican music, pretending they were in Mexico for the day.

“While eating we would discuss the cultures of the country with my son and it turned into a great way to learn about another country. It was a hit! And it gave us something to look forward to doing every week, kept us entertained, educated our son and we had so much fun at the same time,” says Samantha.

For the most part, they use what they have at home; and included in the themed evenings is traditional food, music, clothing and decorations depicting the country’s culture and a lesson for Jaegger on the history of the country coupled with dancing and fun.

“I do the research, Google recipes and make DIY costumes. My husband is the director and takes the amazing pictures and my son, as mentioned before, is the one with the initial inspiration and idea.

“As lockdown levels eased, I would ask close friends or neighbours if they had an item I was missing to wear or for decor and props,” she says.

They have already visited, Mexico, Greece, Paris, Japan, England, Hawaii, India, Russia and Egypt thus far.

Covid-19 isolation time reduced to 10 days

Rugby club celebrates a year: The NTK Youth Academy celebrated its first anniversary recently. Coach Christopher Diedericks says although the Covid-19 pandemic has put a cloud over the season, they have decided to do something small to celebrate, just to commemorate the year and to create some positivity going forward.

“The academy is the birth of a new generation of rugby players in the northern suburbs community. With this in place and positive growth, we hope in future that these boys can develop into great individuals, as not only do we educate through sports, but we also hope to educate them with fundamental life skills to help prepare them for the next step, potentially becoming the next WP or Springbok player,” says Diedericks. There are about 45 boys in three different age groups currently in the club.

National health minister, Dr Zweli Mkhize, has announced a reduction in the minimum isolation period for positive Covid-19 cases from 14 to 10 days.

“This recommendation is based on evidence that most patients with a mild Covid-19 infection continue to shed the virus from their upper airways for approximately seven to 12 days. Furthermore, the presence of detectable virus when testing does not necessarily imply infectiousness. It has been proven that in mild cases, virus cultures are generally only positive for eight to nine days after symptom onset,” says Mkhize.

The duration of infectiousness in patients with severe disease (in other words requiring admission due to clinical instability) is less well established. In general, patients with severe disease may continue to shed the virus at higher levels for longer periods than patients with mild disease, he says.

“To provide a buffer, it is recommended that such patients be deisolated 10 days after clinical sta-

bility has been achieved, rather than 10 days after symptom onset.

To illustrate this in simple terms, if a patient was admitted and placed on oxygen, we advise that when the oxygen supplementation is discontinued, the patient must remain in isolation for another 10 days,” he says.

He adds the guidelines have been guided by the World Health Organisation (WHO). The Ministerial Advisory Committee, however, initially submitted a proposed reduction to eight days. After considering this advice the national coronavirus command resolved to reduce the number to 10 days.

He did however state that this may differ from case to case.

“The recommended isolation time is the period during which a patient is still considered infectious. This should be distinguished from the point at which a patient is medically well enough to return to work. Some patients, especially those who have had severe disease, may require to be booked off sick for longer,” says Mkhize.

Correction

Last week, TygerBurger incorrectly reported that Dominic Isaacs is the coach of

Cape Umoya United (“Ajax memories fond for Isaacs”, 28 July).

The team is coached by Maahier Davids, after Isaacs and Cape Umoya United parted

ways in November last year.

TygerBurger apologises for the error.
