GROWING SCRAP METAL DEMAND: NORTHERN LINE PILFERED
Cable theft on the rise TARRYN-LEIGH SOLOMONS @tarryns07

onteheuwel, Goodwood, Netreg and Parow train stations have been identified as cable theft hotspots. This is according to Metrorail spokesperson, Riana Scott who added that additional train stations include Heideveld, Firgrove, Khayelitsha, Kapteinsklip and Nyanga. Scott told TygerBurger until the demand
for scrap metal drops, opportunistic criminals will continue harvesting metal. “Most offenders have received effective imprisonment as well as suspended terms and been declared unfit to possess firearms. The offenders are in the main the foot soldiers of the brains behind the syndicates and due to rife unemployment there is an unending supply of hapless individuals driven by drug addiction, gang affiliations and poverty to replace them. In the Western Cape not
a single scrap dealer or bucket shop has been closed yet. ‘Trolley’ thieves are the minority. The export of scrap metal also continues unabated and appears poorly regulated. “In addition to the usual metal theft and vandalism, pilfering and burglaries at stations and offices and theft mushroomed as lockdown progressed and the economic situation became more dire. In addition metal, gates, doors, tiles, bathroom fittings (wash basins, taps) and office furniture and goods
were stolen,” she said. Last year, Scott revealed that R1.2 billion had been set aside to restore the required infrastructure along Metrorail’s central line. Vandalism on the central line, which runs along Bonteheuwel and Netreg, has been a growing concern for Metrorail. She explained the restoration process includes the walling of critical areas to protect the newly built infrastructure. V To page 2

“Significant portions of the electrical infrastructure (overhead lines, mass poles, sub-stations), tracks and some stations have been either vandalised beyond repair or completely removed by vandals. In addition illegal electrical connections ingress onto the rail reserve, sewerage is disposed of onto tracks by informal settlements along portions of the route, sporadic gang turf wars and frequent service delivery protests make it impossible to restore services without major intervention. “Cable theft and vandalism is not static and harvesting of infrastructure has moved to other areas especially during lockdown. The northern line suffered a lot of damage with stations and offices broken into and anything with second hand value stolen,” said Scott. Since the start of the lockdown, the northern line, where stations are further apart, was also targeted especially Firgrove, Goodwood and Parow stations. “Fibre cables were also cut before vandals realised it had no scrap value, but by then the damage was done and had to be painstakingly repaired.” Law enforcement spokesperson, Wayne Dyason said cable thieves mostly operate at night. He explained two incidents which happened on 2 and 3 February. “On Tuesday 2 February in the early hours of the morning suspects were apprehended on Jakes Gerwel Drive in the Epping Industrial area. They had in their possession an array of tools used habitually by
metal thieves. The vigilance of the officers brought their raid to a premature end.” Dyason said in the early hours of Wednesday 3 February officers apprehended another suspect in the Epping area. “They observed three men walking down the street and when confronted by the officers two of the suspects pulled out firearms and pointed it at the officers. A quick reaction resulted in one suspect being arrested. The others managed to escape. The firearm was discovered to be an imitation. These night operations expose the officers to extreme danger, but they are necessary because thieves use the cloak of darkness to conceal their illegal activities which do so much damage to essential infrastructure.” Scott said there is a domino effect with cable theft. “For perpetrators there’s the risk of electrocution, for train users deteriorating service levels and for Prasa there’s an escalating cost of maintenance and unsafe operating conditions.” Rewards of up to R25 000 are payable for information leading to successful conviction.

Bonteheuwel, Goodwood, Netreg and Parow train stations have been identified as cable theft hotspots. Metrorail’s Riana Scott said burglaries at stations and offices mushroomed as lockdown progressed and the economic situation became more dire.

Raadslid aangeval, beroof RICHARD ROBERTS @richardjohn_rj
’n
Kaapstadse wyksraadslid het verlede week vertel hoe sy ’n dief agterna moes sit nadat dié persoon haar aangeval en haar van haar selfoon beroof het. Cheryl Visser, raadslid vir wyk 1 (wat Kleinbosch, Monte Vista, Richwood, Burgundy Estate, Plattekloof en Panorama insluit), was in die omgewing van Olienhoutpark in Plattekloof op besoek aan ’n plaaslike inwoner om ’n projek te bespreek toe sy ’n pad oorsteek en deur ’n onbekende aanvaller van agter af teen die kop geslaan is. “As ’n reël is ek uiters versigtig. Ek dra nie juweliersware nie en dra ’n spesiale handsak aan die voorkant van my lyf. “Kontrakteurs was besig met werk by die park en niemand was naby my nie,” sê Visser. Sy het Olienhoutrylaan oorgesteek. In daardie stadium het sy ’n belangrike oproep ontvang en het sy haar selfoon oudergewoonte in die loop beantwoord, sê Visser. “Ek het vir ’n wyle op die eiland-deel by ’n boom in die middel van Olienhoutrylaan gaan staan om veilig te kan oorstap na die park. Meteens en onverwags het ek ’n harde stamp van agter teen my kop en regterkant van my lyf gekry. My selfoon is weggepluk. “In dieselfde aksie het die persoon ook my linkerhand se ringvinger gegryp. Dalk het hy gedink ek dra ’n ring.” Die aanvaller het haar selfoon gegryp en gevlug. “Die stamp was so geweldig dat ek eers gedink het ’n motor het my getref. Toe ek besef ek is beroof, het ek die rower agterna gesit en ’n hele entjie in Olienhoutrylaan in die rigting van Plattekloofweg agter hom aan gehardloop. “My plan was om hom te probeer pootjie en te doen wat ek kon om my selfoon terug
te kry. Uit die bloute het ’n taxi stadig van agter my verbygery. Vir ’n oomblik het ek gedink die taxi gaan my help, maar groot was my teleurstelling toe die taxi se skuifdeur oopgaan en die dief in die hardloop in die bewegende taxi inspring,” sê Visser. Die voorval het haar geskok gelaat. “Ek het toe besef dat die taxi uit die staanspoor gebruik is om my te beroof. Die beplanning het dalk reeds vanuit Silwerboomlaan gebeur. Die rower het beslis in die hardloop sy momentum gebruik om my van agter aan te val.” ’n Sake-onderneming wat aan die park grens, was hulpvaardig en het haar gehelp om haar selfoon en selfoonbankdienste onmiddellik te blokkeer. “Dit is verskriklik traumaties om jou selfoon te verloor. Ek gun dit vir niemand nie. My hele lewe en werk is op my selfoon. Dis basies my kantoor – enige plek waar ek my bevind.” Sy is dankbaar dat sy nie te sleg daarvan afgekom het nie. “Terugskouend verkwalik ek myself dat ek die oproep aanvaar het en instinktief ook die dief agternagesit het. “Ek is dankbaar dat ek nie geskiet, met ’n mes gesteek of selfs deur die taxi omgery is nie. Ek het genadiglik baie lig daarvan afgekom – net ’n seer vinger en ’n paar blou merke.” Visser sê sy wil ander nou waarsku om meer bedag te wees. “Moenie vir een oomblik dink jy kan nie ’n slagoffer word nie. “Ek wil graag mense help ná wat met my gebeur het. Bêre jou selfoon as jy nie in ’n veilige omgewing is nie. “Daar is misdadigers wat enigiets sal doen om jou selfoon en besittings in die hande te kry. Sindikate hou jou van ’n afstand dop en werk saam om jou te teiken. “Dra so min as moontlik by jou. Los duur
juweliersware by die huis. Wees waaksaam as jy gaan stap, draf, fietsry of inkopies doen. Moenie jou handsak op jou sitplek laat as jy bestuur nie,” waarsku sy. Sy meen die publiek moet permanent veiligheidsbewus wees. “Wat met my gebeur het, het in ’n oogwink gebeur. Dit is sleg om so te lewe, maar verwag enige oomblik op enige plek dat jy die slagoffer van misdaad kan word,” sê Visser. Die aanval het op Dinsdag 2 Februarie om 13:00 gebeur. ’n Plaaslike buurtwaglid, Paul Kruger, het die betrokke dag Visser te hulp gesnel. Hy het bevestig dat sy aangerand is en dat sy van haar selfoon beroof is. “Ek het my na haar gehaas en seker gemaak sy is veilig. Daarna het ek District Watch ( ’n sekerheidsmaatskappy) in kennis gestel en hulle versoek om haar by te staan,” sê Kruger, lid van die PWP-buurtwag wat Panorama, Kleinbosch, Welgelegen en Plattekloof bedien. Kruger het met behulp van PWP se kamera-span die taxi wat betrokke was, probeer opspoor. “ ’n Paar minute later is die voertuig deur middel van sy nommerplaat geïdentifiseer en die inligting is aan die polisie verskaf,” sê Kruger. Visser het bevestig dat ’n saak by die polisie aangemeld is. Kruger het inwoners versoek om die buurtwag se kameraprojek te ondersteun. Visser het ook ’n beroep op inwoners gedoen om hul plaaslike buurtwag te kontak en om daarby betrokke te raak. “Help hulle asseblief met ’n geldelike bydrae om sodoende toerusting, kringtelevisie- en nommerplaatherkenningskameras (LPR) aan te skaf en te installeer. Jou bydrae kan help om misdaad te voorkom en op te los,” sê Visser.
Rowers kom deesdae weg in minibus-taxi’s RICHARD ROBERTS @richardjohn_rj Die Parow-gemeenskapspolisiëringsforum (GPF) sê misdaad waar diewe in taxi’s ontsnap ná ’n roof of diefstal, is steeds ’n probleem. Deon Maneveld, GPF-voorsitter, sê hoewel hierdie soort misdaad nog op besige roetes soos Voortrekkerweg gebeur, dit nie meer so gereeld soos in die verlede plaasvind nie. Vroeër vandeesmaand het ’n rower in ’n taxi ontsnap nadat hy ’n plaaslike wyksraadslid in Plattekloof van haar selfoon beroof het. “Die tendens wat wél nou kop uitsteek, is dat voorvalle in Plattekloof plaasvind; dit gebeur nie nou net meer in Voortrekkerweg nie. “Ek weet die polisie fokus baie op die Voortrekkerweg-korridor en dis dalk waarom die misdadigers nou met ander maniere vorendag kom om hul hande op hul buit te kry, en waarom die aantal gevalle in Voortrekkerweg afgeneem het,” sê Maneveld. Hy sê benewens die voorval in Plattekloof is daar ook onlangs voorvalle aangemeld waar vroue in ’n taxi opgelaai, beroof en dan weer afgelaai word in die Klipkop- en Parowvallei-gebiede. Een van die taxi’s is opgespoor met behulp van kamera-beeldmateriaal wat deur buurtwaglede verkry is. Die registrasie op die nommerplaat is wyd gedeel en dit het later gelei tot ’n suksesvolle inhegtenisneming, sê Maneveld. “Ongelukkig, kort daarna, het nog só ’n voorval in die gebied plaasgevind. Daardie voertuig en die misdadigers is egter nog nie opgespoor nie.” Maneveld sê misdadigers soek deesdae na geleenthede om veral sagte teikens aan te val en sodoende hul hande op selfone of ’n paar rand uit die slagoffers se beursies te kry.

Verskeie gemeenskapsradiostasies het ingekoop in die vervolgverhaal, getiteld Goue Jare. Plaaslik sal luisteraars die produksies kan volg op Tygerberg 104FM, waar dit elke Vrydag van 19 Februarie om 20:15 uitgesaai sal word. “Die Wes-Kaapse departement van maatskaplike ontwikkeling het ons destyds gevra om ’n opvoedkundige verhoogproduksie te doen waar ons aan die ouer mense hul regte op ’n praktiese manier kan uitbeeld. Ons het gevoel dat die beste manier om die ernstige inhoud oor te bring, en die groot ouderdomsverskille te bowe te kom, sal deur die gebruik van ’n poppekas te wees,” sê Anton oor die bestaansjaar van sy produksie. Hy sê die radiovervolgverhaal word ook moontlik gemaak deur die ondersteuning van die departement sowel as die Mapula Trust. Die poppekas het in 2008 begin. “Ons was baie senuweeagtig om te sien hoe die ouer mense dit sou ontvang. Daar was ook ’n groot groep verteenwoordigers van die departement, almal baie ernstig en belangrik.” Hy sê die poppekas is oor die jare heen selfs beter ontvang deur die ouer mense as die groepe klein kinders. “Daar word lekker gelag en saam gepraat.

Rotary Club donates care packages The Rotary Club of Blouberg recently raised funds within 48 hours to donate 110 care packages to Milnerton Mediclinic. This after various hospitals have put out appeals to charities within their areas, asking if they could assist with care packages, containing some treats and sustenance to help through their long shifts. Lynne Wade from the club says during the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic, healthcare workers have been working tirelessly around the clock, seven days a week. “In Milnerton, Michelle Korevaar from Change Makers Hub (CMH) reacted to Milnerton Mediclinic’s plea and asked the local community to assist with donations. CMH is a non-profit organisation that connects people with causes who need help, catalysing change between everyday people who want to help to those who need it the most,” Wade says. In addition, another additional 40 care packages were packed for Tygerberg Hospital as part of a joint project between the Rotary Clubs of Blouberg, Oostenberg, Bellville, Durbanville, Tygerberg and Goodwood. “For only R70, one care package containing a 500ml Energade, a coffee, hot chocolate, a cappuccino sachet, a packet of biscuits, a bag of jelly sweets, a bag of peanuts and raisins and some hand cream, together with a thank you note – can make a small difference to a tired healthcare worker, letting them know that we care and that we appreciate their dedication and hard work,” Wade says. Following the success of this project, The Rotary Club of Blouberg will continue raising funds, together with CMH, in an effort to provide care packages to the healthcare workers at other hospitals. “This month we want to donate to staff at the Brooklyn Chest Hospital, the Tygerberg Children’s Hospital ICU and the Fresenius Medical Care dialysis centre,” Wade told TygerBurger.

Institute runs clinical trial for Covid-19 vaccine Task, a clinical research institute based in Parow, has begun several medical research projects aimed at finding solutions to Covid-19. One of these research initiatives involves repurposing a 100 year old TB vaccine called Bacille Calmette-Guérin, or BCG for short. BCG vaccination has been in use for many decades to prevent severe forms of tuberculosis in children. Task hopes that running a clinical trial with local community volunteers may show that revaccinating adults with BCG may lessen the severity of the symptoms of the disease. The trial, which started in May 2020, involves 1 000 volunteers. The last participant visit will be in October 2021, with these results being made public-
ly available shortly thereafter. “We are pleased that we can play our part in the fight against the pandemic. Task is committed to better health for all and we value our local community in Cape Town as they are instrumental to achieving our goals,” commented Duncan McDonald, head of business development and communication. The organisation is also conducting numerous other intervention and vaccine studies aimed at combating Covid-19. All of these trials are approved by the South African Health Products Regulatory Authority (SAHPRA) and dedicated ethics committees, who in conjunction with Task ensure that the trials are conducted safely and ethically.

Technology to connect patients with loved ones Due to hospital visitations not being allowed to limit the risk of possible Covid-19 transmission, staff at Karl Bremer Hospital have come up with an innovative idea. Here tablets are now being used to connect patients with their families. Patients can chat to their friends and family by means of a video call. “The tablet has given the patient the opportunity to speak to and see their loved ones without any obstacles and, by doing so, there has been an optimistic response from both sides,” says Denise Barnes, assistant nursing manager. Barnes says technology has greatly improved the way the hospital team communicates, especially during the pandemic. “When taking into account the visiting

Thembeka Goba from Karl Bremer Hospital who spent 25 days in hospital with Covid-19 at the start of the pandemic urges people to get vaccinated (when it becomes available). The mother of three developed flu-like symptoms and visited her pharmacy where she bought medication. She soon realised that this was something different. Soon after her symptoms progressed, she visited her local doctor again and was hospitalised with severe pneumonia. Goba was admitted to Tygerberg Hospital where she spent time in the intensive care unit on high-flow oxygen before being transferred to a ward. Goba made a full recovery and says she is optimistic that the vaccine will reduce her risk.

DIE STAD KAAPSTAD SE GOEDKEURING VAN DIE 2020/21-AANSUIWERINGSBEGROTING Kennisgewing geskied hiermee ingevolge regulasie 26 van die regulasies oor die munisipale begroting en verslagdoening, 2008, saamgelees met die Wet op Plaaslike Regering: Munisipale Stelsels, Wet 32 van 2000, en die Wet op Plaaslike Regering: Munisipale Finansiële Bestuur, Wet 56 van 2003, dat die dokumente met betrekking tot die Stad se 2020/21-aansuiweringsbegroting, wat op 28 Januarie 2021 deur die Raad goedgekeur is, vir besigtiging op die Stad Kaapstad se webwerf by www.capetown.gov.za/budget beskikbaar is.

policy under the current regulations, not only does it protect the patient, but their loved ones too. The use of tablets within our wards has ensured continuous communication between the patient and their family at home, as being away from home and unable to see your loved ones tends to have a toll on the overall recovery of a patient, which ultimately leads to a negative bed flow within our busy units,” Barnes says. She says the use of tablets has given patients and staff a sense of hope as they continue to fight Covid-19. “It has definitely been a rewarding feeling to see how thankful our patients and their relatives are, and we remain hopeful that the circumstances we are living in will change in the near future,” Barnes says.
From 13 to 21 February is Pregnancy Education Week and the City of Cape Town’s health department is encouraging women to visit their clinics for antenatal care. “It is important that women attend antenatal care as soon as they find out they are pregnant, preferably before 14 weeks of pregnancy. This helps to ensure the pregnancy and birth is a positive experience,” said Mayco member for community services and health, Zahid Badroodien. Antenatal care at public health clinics is free and pregnant women are encouraged to attend all antenatal visits, scheduled every four weeks to 28 weeks of pregnancy, thereafter every two weeks to 36 weeks, then weekly until the delivery. It is important to return to the clinic immediately when experiencing any of the following symptoms: abdominal pain (not discomfort); blurred vision; liquid (amniotic fluid) leaking from the vagina; persistent headache; reduced foetal (baby) movements, or vaginal bleeding.
To ensure a safe pregnancy and healthy baby, it is important to eat healthy meals and to do safe physical activities. Pregnant women should abstain from smoking, using illegal drugs and drinking alcohol. Smoking during pregnancy increases the risk of pre-term labour, low birth weight, and birth defects of the mouth and lip (cleft palate). Smoking during, and after pregnancy also increases the risk of infant death syndrome. The use of illegal drugs during pregnancy increases the risk of pre-term labour, low birth weight, and developmental delays in the child. Drinking alcohol while pregnant can harm the unborn baby, and cause birth defects known as Foetal Alcohol Syndrome Disease (FASD). If you or someone you know is suffering from depression during pregnancy or after the birth of the baby, speak to the healthcare professional at your clinic or your doctor; or get help from Postnatal Depression Support SA. SMS “help” to 082 882 0072 and they will contact you.

‘Drop 10’ club helps those in need T
he Tygerberg Hospital Children’s Trust’s Drop 10 membership club – a club designed for professionals who want to play an active role in supporting the trust in its work, and positively impacting the lives of children cared for at the hospital – is still being well supported after being launched a year ago. Prof Johan Smith, founder, says by joining the club, he and his peers are able to make a measurable impact and drive change for the better. “Joining the club is a no-brainer for me; by donating a portion of my income to a cause that I am already involved with, and because the trust is a registered public bene-
fit organisation, I am able to claim back benefits from Sars and directly see the impact of my donation in the work that the trust does,” says Smith. The club is a programme for professionals who contribute a portion of their annual salary, and in exchange receive a Section 18A certificate for tax relief. This is an annual membership whereby the member may participate with other club members in specific campaigns. The club is unique to the trust whereby members are afforded influence in supporting the trust’s work far beyond just making a donation, a spokesperson for the trust says.
“The purpose of the club is to encourage professionals to play an active role in social initiatives beyond just monetary support to a cause, but actively engaging and participating in social upliftment. “The member’s donation and effort through the membership club goes towards the care of 60% of the province’s children who fall within the hospital’s care footprint, the hundreds of children actually visiting our hospital and its school and the impact we are able to bring to the communities of people that support them,” the spokesperson says.

‘Koeberg containment building is safe’ Eskom is fully cognisant of the risk of corrosion of civil structures at the Koeberg Power Station, which is a result of the station being located in a corrosive environment. This, Eskom says in a statement as ongoing testing on the Koeberg containment buildings, which house the reactor and associated nuclear components, have proven the structures to be capable of withstanding the most severe accident. This containment programme has been managed closely since construction. “The tests comprise quarterly and annu-
al measurements to identify any abnormal movement such as expansions, settling, visual inspections to identify physical degradation, such as cracks, spalling, efflorescence and by performing the integrated leak rate tests (ILRT) on a 10-yearly basis. The results of the ILRTs have shown conclusively that the design functions of the containment buildings are met. The test results of the ILRT were also compared with international plants of similar design and it was found to be in-line with industry norms. The ILRT represents the worst case accident scenario and proves the contain-
ment buildings to be capable of withstanding the most severe accident,” Eskom says. The main concern to the long term system health of the containment buildings is the deterioration of the externally exposed concrete surfaces due to chloride ingress that causes reinforcement corrosion and the potential effect on the prestressing tendons. Concrete repairs have been implemented to reinstate areas of the external façade where spalling and delamination occurred due to reinforcement corrosion. “A long term solution to prevent debar
and tendon corrosion due to chloride ingress is the implementation of an induced cathodic protection system. “This is being implemented as previously recommended by a team of international civil engineering experts,” Eskom explains. The information from the ongoing testing, inspections and maintenance is included in the assessments being implemented as part of the work required for Koeberg’s life extension and Eskom remains confident that the issue is fully under control.

SLICE OF LIFE
En toe stuur buurvrou vir my ’n foto Buurvrou het nogal daarvan gehou om gereeld ’n boksie groente uit haar tuin oor te stuur. Maar toe, skielik, stop dit, en weke lank hoor en sien ons niks. Tot Vrydag – toe stuur buurvrou ’n foto, iets wat sy in al die jare nog nooit gedoen het nie. Wat op die foto was, was nie vir my aanvaarbaar nie. En buurvrou is toe al die tyd stilbemoerd. Ek weer was heel omgebom oor die lang relaas wat die foto vergesel. Ek kon dit eenvoudig nie glo nie. Sy beweer Viskoekie, ons kat, vang haar hoenders. En hoe meer ek sê nee, nie óns kat nie, hoe meer hou sy vol. Teen dié tyd is ons al twee al goed skuinsbeneuk, en die boodskappe vlieg heen en weer. Ek vra haar toe hoeveel katte dink sy is daar in die buurt, buiten haar eie twee? En weet sy katte stap elke dag ’n paar kilometer van tuin tot tuin? Nie so lank terug nie was daar ’n hewige polemiek oor sonde met die bure se katte. Min het ek toe geweet ek sal my vandag binne-in daardie debat bevind. Die probleem is beide mens én kat kyk graag na die voëls in die tuin, ’n belangebotsing, dus. Feit is, katte jag. Hulle kan dit nie help nie. Maar, hulle vang darem ook rotte en muise. Dis waarvoor die mensdom hulle so 10 000 jaar gelede begin mak maak het. Die volgende dag hou ek ons kat heeldag binne. En so wrintiewaar, hier teen skemer kom ’n boodskap weer van anderkant af: Nóg van haar hoenders is vandag aangeval. Dis net daar dat my tone toe krul van plesier, want daar is die bewys – dis nie my kat wat so lief is vir haar voëls en hoenders nie. Net om seker te maak, word sy hierdie hele week binne gehou, wat vir haar nogal erg is. Huiskatte is heel gelukkig om binne te bly as hulle nooit aan die buitewêreld blootgestel was nie. Maar in óns geval is sy gewoond aan buite wees. En in dieselfde boodskap wil buurvrou toe weet wat ons aan die probleem gaan doen. Wel, ek sê toe maar vir haar ons sal vir ons kat sê sy mag nie die bure se voëls vang nie. Kietsie se Afrikaans is darem nie te sleg nie. En boonop sal ons haar ’n onderneming in dier voege laat onderteken. Swart op wit. Kat se kind kry ook ’n halsband met nie een nie, maar twee klokke aangeheg sodat as sy iets wil vang, hulle haar kan hoor kom en kans het om te vlug. Navorsing het bewys hierdie maatreël kan die vang van klein diertjies deur huiskatte met tot 41% verminder. Wat sal ’n mens nie alles doen om tog die vrede te bewaar nie? Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned! Want so ’n foto wil ek nooit weer kry of sien nie. ’n Foto van ’n verminkte hoender wat roerloos op ’n hopie sit. . Van die os op die jas: Ons moet deesdae mooi kophou in ons “veelvlakkige” samelewing. Ek meen, vir krag, water én die viruspandemie is daar elk ’n vlak. Dalk sal die formule KWV goed te pas kom. In my dagboek gaan ek elke dag die vlakke aanteken om kop te hou. Elke vlak het mos sy moets en moenies. Elke ding het sy tyd en plek. My formule sal iets wees soos K = 1, W = 2, V = 3. Op ’n ander dag kan dit wees K = 3, W = 4, V = 5. Wat V = 3 betref mag ons darem nou weer skoene met oop tone en hempies sonder moue koop. En ons mag selfs ’n zol swaai en dopsteek. Dalk KWV. – Werner van Tonder

Thanks for the memories, Newlands
felt at home. Farewell Newlands, thank you for everything. NIKITA SCHRONEN e-mail
“The sweetest part of leaving home is knowing that, beyond a shadow of a doubt, you’ll always carry it with you.” A day I was dreading the most has come. On Saturday 23 January the last game of rugby was played at Newlands. It wasn’t the best game from the home team, but the past 133 years have been nothing short of magical. From seeing the likes of Corné Krige and Morne du Plessis run out to seeing the young guns of Jean-Luc du Plessis and Chris van Zyl running out of the oldest stadium in South Africa Newlands had it all. It had tears, it had laughter, it had lots of stressful moments, but most importantly, it was the home of many memories. It was the place where Chester Williams would break through the opposition defence on his way to the try line. It was the place where Schalk Burger could not wait to go into “Hulk mode” and tackle everybody in his way. It was the place where I watched my very first rugby game. How do you say goodbye to a place that’s like home? Newlands, thank you for being the best home anyone could have ever asked for. You gave me memories that I’ll carry in my heart forever - from my first time as a fan, when the flag was bigger than me, to my last time sitting in the stands when I attended the funeral of Chester Williams. They say home is not a place, it is a feeling. Every time I visited you, I

Dís kaalkop die waarheid Dankie TJ (“ ‘Dromkrappers’ probeer ook maar net oorleef”, TygerBurger 3 Februarie) vir jou reaksie op Dicky Liebenberg se skrywe (“Herwinning ’n probleem”, TygerBurger 27 Januarie). Graag lug ek ook my opinie oor hierdie interessante onderwerp. As iemand die verkeer reël, is hy ’n verkeersbeampte; wanneer iemand huise bou, is hy ’n bouer; wanneer hy motorfiets ry is hy outomaties ’n motorfietsryer en so kan ek aangaan tot volgende maand. Wat presies maak hierdie mense dan so spesiaal dat hul beroep nie gebruik kan word om hulle te beskryf nie? ’n Melkman is altemit die ou wat melk bring, of hoe? Ek verstaan dat hulle dalk nie die beste beroep gekies het nie of dat hulle in daardie omstandighede ingedwing is weens ander faktore, dalk buite hul beheer, maar terwyl hulle in dromme krap, is hulle dromkrappers. Sommige van hulle het ’n ekstra titel bygekry, naamlik oorlas of selfs dief. Dit klink dalk bietjie rof, maar van die arme bloedjies dink dit goed om jou
of my drom te steel en te gebruik om al die uitgesoekte drominhoud saam te karwei. Ek het self al twee verloor. Dan is daar die ouens wat jou vullis in of buite jou drom uitgooi om jou swart sakke te kry. Dit is ongelukkig die realiteit van hierdie outjies. Nie almal is sleg nie, maar ek hou nie van hulle nie weens die minderheid se gedrag. M. SUMMERS E-pos
Brackenfeller wil forum stig As Brackenfeller is ek besorg oor ons as gemeenskap. Wat verlede jaar se gebeure by die skool betref, en die gevolglike politieke speelveld en by tye politieke slaansak wat ons as gemeenskap geword het, het dit my laat wonder waar ons stem is in al die dinge. Wat het van die inset en stem van die gewone ou geword, die ou wat hier bly en in rus en vrede wil leef sonder die politieke geraas? Hoewel dit blyk dat daar wel organisasies in Brackenfell bestaan vir die gemeenskap, was daar geen inset of reaksie, wat jy dit ook al wil noem. Ek kon nie vasstel wat hulle doel, funksie of verteenwoordiging is nie, dus het ek begin besin oor alternatiewe. My vraag is, het dit nie tyd geword dat ons as gemeenskap na mekaar begin uitreik en met mekaar begin praat om ’n gemeenskapstem te kry – om inspraak te lewer daar waar dit ons alledaagse lewe en eiendom raak nie? As u my siening deel dat ons as gemeenskap ’n stem moet ontwikkel, om inspraak te hê daar waar dit saak maak, waar dit ons raak, stuur vir my ’n e-pos na npo@avibus.co.za met u besonderhede.

Belastingbetalers het ook regte Ek verwys na die berig verlede week oor die straatmense (“Curfew for homeless”, 27/1). Mnr. Zahid Badroodien sê dit is nie ’n oortreding om op straat te wees nie. Ek versoek u om hom te vra vir ’n uiteensetting van die regte van die munisipale belastingbetaler. Sekerlik het ons ’n reg om veilig te voel, nie bedreig te voel, nie in vuil taal gevloek te word en vieslike toilette langs ons grensmure te verduur, wat ’n gesondheidsrisiko is nie. Nie alle inwoners het manspersone om hulle by hul huise te beskerm nie. Maar die straatbewoners mag al hierdie dinge oortree. Stad Kaapstad se mense was al in my huis om die saak te bespreek. Daar het dadels van gekom. Daar is regulasies deur die Stad vir straatbewoners geskryf. Wat het óns? Net ’n hand vol vere. Die Stad het vir hom ’n lat gepluk en dinge toegelaat wat hy in der ewigheid nie ná inperking sal kan bestuur nie – bloot omdat straatmense regte het. Maar die jaar is verkiesingsjaar terwyl ons op ’n Zimbabwe afstuur. Dit is presies hoekom jong mense nie wil stem nie. Ons sit met drie in die huis wat hul skouers optrek en brom oor onbekwaamhede van die owerhede. En hulle is reg. Ons kan hulle nie kwalik neem nie, want ons kan nie hul standpunt verkeerd bewys nie. Sê asseblief vir mnr. Badroodien ons soek sy kommentaar oor die munisipale belastingbetaler se regte in die volgende publikasie van die TygerBurger. MARIANA VAN WYK Parow

Adventure athlete publishes book ESMÉ ERASMUS
D
urbanville-based adventure athlete, Jamie Marais has summited many a challenge – the latest publishing an autobiography about his adventure endeavours. His book, Determination, his first, was published in December. Marais (44), a corporate accounts manager, became known for his participation in extreme adventures – from summiting Table Mountain 22 times in 28 hours over two days in August 2016, almost twice the height of Everest, in support of the Sabrina Love Foundation for special needs children, to mountain biking 360km non-stop in 36 hours among the Big Five in Kariega Game Reserve in the Eastern Cape in August last year – the first and only person to do this. He was metres away from the white rhino cow Thandi – famous for her survival of a poacher attack in March 2012 – and her young calf. “It was fascinating that she allowed me as a human to ride up to her. I looked her in the eyes and it was as if I felt a deep connection that we were not there to harm each other, but definitely one of my scariest moments,” he says. He also had to stop right in his tracks when faced by the massive
bull elephant Charlie, only 10 metres away. “After the ride there was an incredible moment. Three rhinos came up right to our car, as if to say thank you. One of the rangers said he never saw that in more than 30 years.” Marais raised almost R500 000 for rhino conservation and feeding impoverished communities with this extreme adventure. He also summited Lions Head 12 times in only 12 hours in June 2016, climbing 5 600 vertical metres. The most extreme, however, was when he cycled Sani Pass in Lesotho in 2018 in gale force winds and extreme weather at an altitude of 3 000m, summiting five times in 12 hours. “I ended up hypothermic after 12 hours in freezing weather and we actually nearly ended up being stranded on the pass due to terrible weather. “To persevere, I have a few mantras and things I focus on. I often repeat the words ‘I can, I will. I can do this, I will do this’. Its amazing how much stronger you become just by saying those words. As you say it, you hear it, and as you hear it, you believe it,” he says. Another of his scariest moments was in 2015 when he was blown out to sea by a strong wind while pad-

I was paddling without a wetsuit and was blown off my board a few times. I almost drowned in five metre swells, but in the end I paddled through it.” Although his list of adventures
are impressive, his book is not about his achievements, but his life journey and how he learned to train his mind to always see the silver lining in every dark cloud. “My book takes the reader on a journey and into some of the most intense, inspiring and life-changing moments I have experienced and shares the life lessons learned from each of those experiences. I also share many practical tips and tools on how people can help themselves to overcome challenges and harness their inner strength,” he says. After experimenting with recreational drugs at about 14 years of age, his turning point came when he had a bad drug experience. “It shook me back to reality and I made the concrete decision to turn my life around for health and fitness,” he says. “I have always been involved in adventure sports like surfing, but my greatest passion at school was road cycling.” He won the provincial championships when he was 17 and then competed on a top ranked elite road cycling team later in life in his thirties. His interest in extreme adventures started about five years ago when he turned 40, after he was offered an opportunity to emigrate to
Canada. He went across and looked at the opportunity but decided not to pursue it. “Despite the challenges, South Africa is really great. I came back with an appreciation for what we have here and also an awareness of the challenge we face,” he says. “I wanted to do something that could help people believe in themselves and realise that nothing is ever too big to face and overcome,” he says. The feedback on his book was incredible, Marais says. “It brings a message of hope and of overcoming your challenges.” The first edition was sold out in four weeks and is now being reprinted. Ever since he has been regularly invited as motivational speaker. He is now busy with a sequel to his book, which focuses mainly on his “Jamie Rides 4 Rhinos” mountain biking adventure in Kariega Game Reserve. “This book will tell the story of my epic adventure, but if my first book was about finding the silver lining, this one is about taming the beast, facing your fears and making the best of your circumstances,” he says. V The book can be ordered on his website at jamiemarais.com and will soon be available in bookshops.
Brittany hits all the right notes THABANG KUAHO @thab_journo A young opera singer from Northpine is flourishing in her career despite the threat the Covid-19 pandemic continues to pose to her industry. Brittany Smith, a 26-year-old soprano, has been cast for a role in the upcoming Montaperti Vestas. She will also be performing in the stage production for Hansel and Gretel which is directed by renowned director Alessandro Talevi. The third production she is part of is The American Songbook. In Hansel and Gretel, she plays Gretel and she says it is exciting that she landed the role as it has always been one of her favourites. “What I like about this opera is that in Act one and two before it becomes sinister they are typical kids who still hold their innocence, but my character shows signs that make you realise that she knows certain things beyond her age.
“Although she is a child, she knows that certain actions have consequences,” she explains. She hopes these roles open doors to more opportunities for her. “Normally when you go for auditions, you have to submit your resume. “I would love to sing at least five of the six roles I have envisioned for myself, these being part of that.” Her future plans include teaching music, which she has a passion for while setting time aside for freelance work as she plans to continue performing. The soprano is thankful for being able to still be performing as her ability was almost compromised when she contracted tuberculosis a few years ago. “If I have to look where I was a few years ago, battling TB and realising how far I have come, I am grateful to still be living my dream. “The stumbling blocks have made me a strong performer and helped me develope a thick skin. “The secret is to leave all your problems in the dressing room and give the performance of your life.” Her introduction to opera music came in high school when she auditioned for the school choir. Her choir mistress, Sonja van Amstel, was a retired opera singer. I used to look at her pictures and the costumes she wore. “After my audition, she noted my vocal ability and suggested I pursue opera.” Her confirmation of the love she has for opera was cemented when Van Amstel took her to the Artscape opera house to watch a show. “I was fascinated by how a person’s voice can fill the entire opera house with no microphone in sight. “That is when I knew I have found my purpose.” Smith still has plans to take on more prominent roles that would make her a worldwide renowned opera singer.
Brittany Smith from Northpine is soaring in her career despite the negative impact the Covid-19 pandemic continues to have on the industry that she is in.
Chris Lochner, ’n boer van Bitterfontein, is verheug oor die skenking van nie-bederfbare voedsel, skoonmaakmiddels en vars groente wat hy ontvang het.
Ondersteuning vir boere gaan voort TARRYN-LEIGH SOLOMONS @tarryns07 Altesame 66 boere en 20 plaaswerkerfamilies van die Nuwerus- en Bitterfontein-gemeenskap in die Noord-Kaap het nie-bederfbare voedsel, skoonmaakmiddels en vars groente van die South African Water Warriors (SAWW) ontvang. Deon Smit, ’n afgetrede brandweerman van Goodwood, het dié nie-winsgewende organisasie in 2008 begin met die doel om water by die publiek en ondernemings in te samel en dit dan met die hulp van vrywilligers na gebiede te versprei waar nood is. In Desember het boere in Oudtshoorn en Merweville ook ’n bietjie verligting ontvang. “Die voortslepende droogte in dele van Suid-Afrika blyk gebreek te wees nadat reën in groot gedeeltes van die droogtegeteisterde areas geval het. “Boere is egter steeds vasgevang in verwoesting. Die algemene publiek is onder die indruk dat sodra dit gereën het, boere se probleme opgelos is. Dit reën egter nie geld of voer nie en dit gaan nog jare neem vir die veld om te herstel en oeste en voer te lewer. “’n Mens moet ook in gedagte hou dit werk
op die platteland net soos in die stad. Een boer kan reën kry, maar sy buurman niks.” SAWW het op Saterdag 6 Februarie uit die Kaap vertrek met ’n konvooi van 15 voertuie wat broodnodige hulp en hoop gaan aflewer het in die Nuwerus- en Bitterfontein-gemeenskap. “Selfs die kinders was bederf met ’n lekker pakkie wat spesiaal opgemaak was. “Buiten bogenoemde is 300 sakke mielies, 380 lusernbale en ’n vrag ronde grasbale vir die vee afgelewer, wat groot verligting bring vir die boere wat steeds hul vee elke dag moet voer. Ons het terselfdertyd 25 000 liter water gestuur na die droogtegeteisterde gebied, wat groot verligting daar gaan bring. Dankbaarheid het geheers onder die boere en gou was stil somber gesigte vol glimlagte en hoop,” sê Smit. Hy sê die organisasie is reeds besig om weer donasies te begin insamel vir hul volgende uitreik. “Sluit gerus aan by ons Facebook-groep vir meer inligting. Donasies is dringend nodig om meer boere in droogte te kan bystaan; ons maak staat op die publiek se ondersteuning vir fondse of nie-bederfbare voedsel, voer en vervoer.” Skakel Deon Smit by 082 738 2702 vir meer inligting.

Kinderhuis wil hande vat met gemeenskap ESMÉ ERASMUS
Johanna Strauss, nuwe hoof van die Durbanvillekinderhuis, met van die jong inwonertjies. Hul name word weerhou vir hul eie beskerming.
D
ie spreekwoord dit kos ’n “village” om ’n kind groot te maak is dalk nou al holrug gery, maar steeds só waar as dit kom by die Durbanville-kinderhuis. Johanna Strauss, nuwe hoof sedert Desember verlede jaar, glo sy en haar personeel is nie alleen in die stryd om die kinderhuis se deure oop te hou nie en die kinders die beste versorging moontlik te gee. “Die Durbanville-kinderhuis en Durbanville-gemeenskap is onlosmaakbaar deel van mekaar, sê sy. “Ek voel baie sterk oor die vennootskappe met ons gemeenskap. Ons wil die gemeenskap as geheel selfs meer betrokke kry – só dat hulle voel hulle is regtig betrokke by die kinderhuis. Hulle moet ook trots voel op die kinderhuis,” sê sy. “Die gemeenskap van Durbanville is meestal gegoed en ek dink die kinderhuis herinner mense aan ’n ander wêreld waarin mense swaarkry. Mense moet weet hulle hoef nie honderd kilometer te ry om na ander mense uit te reik nie; die kinderhuis is reg op hul voorstoep,” sê sy. “Baie inwoners van Durbanville het al 100% ingekoop by die kinderhuis, ook kerke. Ons kerke is regtig geweldig betrokke – met skenkings, maar ook goed soos om dagboodskappies vir die kinders te stuur. “Die NG kerk Durbanville het byvoorbeeld vir ons ’n addisionele ruimte gegee vir ons boekverkopings en bied dit nou in hul tuin aan, omdat Covid-19-regulasies dit onmoontlik maak op ons eie perseel,” sê Strauss. As dit nie was vir die #R50-veldtog wat die kinderhuis gedurende die inperking begin het nie, en die dawerende sukses daarvan nie, sou die kinderhuis nie sy lopende uitgawes kon dek nie, sê sy. Strauss het mense aangemoedig om by die veldtog betrokke te raak. “Dit kos net R50 om deel te neem. As elke inwoner wat kan, net R50 gee, sal dit die kinderhuis vir ’n jaar aan die gang hou,” sê sy. “Mense hoef ook nie net kindergoed te skenk nie, maar selfs ou meubels, kombuisgoed, klere vir volwassenes – enigiets wat ons in ons winkel kan verkoop sodat ons nu-

we skoolklere vir ons kinders kan koop,” sê sy. “Covid-19 het baie mense laat besef dat hulle by hul gemeenskap betrokke wil wees. Die kinderhuis het iets unieks om te bied ook aan ander. Vrywilligers vertel dat hulle tevore depressief gevoel het, maar ’n nuwe passie gekry het en dat ’n hele nuwe wêreld vir hulle oopgegaan het vandat hulle in ons tweedehandsewinkel werk,” sê sy. “Mense kan op enige manier bydra. Kom braai vir die kinders. Sodra ’n mens in kontak kom met die kinders, laat dit jou goed voel oor jouself; dis nou maar net so,” sê sy. Die kinderhuis het baie uitdagings daarin dat die kinders vanjaar in 34 verskillende skole is. “Plasings in skole is ’n enorme uitdaging en ons wil regtig ’n beroep op meer plaaslike skole in ’n 10 km-radius doen om ons kinders in te neem. Dit sal hierdie logistieke nagmerrie uitskakel om die kinders elke dag by die skool te kry. Dit raak ’n al hoe groter uitdaging,” sê sy. Maar dis nie net geld wat die kinders nodig het nie. “Die kinders benodig daardie ‘tannie’ wat hulle spesiaal laat voel – iemand wat ’n mentor vir hulle kan wees,” sê Melanie Stipp, bemarkings- en geleentheidskoördineerder, wat self in die Durbanville-kin-
derhuis was vandat sy vyf jaar oud was. “Daar was mense wat in my geglo het toe ek nie in myself geglo het nie,” sê sy. “’n Mens het net een persoon nodig wat in jou glo en dit maak die wêreld se verskil. As kinderhuiskind moes ek heeltyd veg vir aanvaarding. Ek vertrou myself vandag nog nie genoeg om nuwe uitdagings te kan aanpak nie. In my kop sê ek vir my myself ek gaan mense teleurstel,” sê sy. “Ons kinders benodig vrywilligers om hulle met hul huiswerk te help. Mense kan ook by ’n spesifieke kind betrokke raak Dit verg egter 100% toewyding. As die persoon hom skielik onttrek, is dit vir daardie kind baie traumaties – dis dubbele verwerping en teleurstelling,” sê Stipp. “Die kinders is met min tevrede – hulle soek net aandag, liefde en aanvaarding. Ek onthou byvoorbeeld hoe ’n blikkie kondensmelk as kinderhuiskind my enkele grootste treat was. “Ons kinders droom groot, maar hul wêreld is maar klein. Ons soek mense wat hulle aan die beroepswêreld kan blootstel – dalk skaduwerk doen by verskillende werksplekke,” sê Stipp. Strauss beaam dit. “As ’n kind vir ’n lang periode in ’n sorgsentrum soos in die Durbanville-kinderhuis versorg word, vind hy
dit moeilik om sy voete in die beroepslewe te vind. Die afwesigheid van omgee-families, asook twyfel aan hul eie vermoëns, speel ’n groot rol. “Indien hierdie kinders nie leiding ontvang nie, is die kans goed dat hulle sal terugval na die lewe wat hulle ken, wat gekenmerk word deur werkloosheid en negatiewe sosiale gedrag,” sê sy. Om hiermee te help, bied die kinderhuis ’n oorbruggingsprogram aan waarin hulle graad 10- tot 12-leerders lewensvaardighede leer soos hoe om aansoek te doen vir ’n werk en hoe om hul geldsake te hanteer. “Ons ondersteun gemiddeld sewe van ons skoolverlaters per jaar finansieel om verder te gaan studeer aan tersiêre inrigtings, universiteite en ambagskole. Ons betaal vir al hul studies, verblyf, asook sakgeld. “Ons bied ook huisvesting vir twee jaar aan skoolverlaters, wat geen ander heenkome het nadat hulle die kinderhuis verlaat het nie. In hierdie tyd ondergaan hulle indiensopleiding en ons help hulle om werk te kry,” sê sy. Vir Strauss was die pos as hoof van die kinderhuis, waarin sy baie meer direk met die kinders werk, soos om ’n kringloop te voltooi. Hoewel sy ’n graad met maatskaplike werk as een van haar hoofvakke behaal het, het sy nooit as maatskaplike werker gewerk nie. Sy het haar loopbaan begin by die destydse departement kultuursake, waar sy gehelp het om uitstallings, musiekkonserte, asook gesellighede aan te bied. Sy het toe betrokke geraak by die reëlings van die Whale of a Festival in Hermanus en die Duitse Fees. Dit het gelei tot ’n pos as skakelbeampte van die William Fehr-Versameling en later in bestuur, bemarking en kommunikasie met die amalgamasie van die 11 Iziko-museums in Kaapstad. Strauss het in 2009 by die Durbanville-kinderhuis begin werk as hoof van bemarking en fondswerwing. “Ek kan my ondervinding in bemarking gebruik en só ’n verskil in die lewe van kinders maak,” sê sy. V Kontak Louise Coetzee, bemarkings- en fondsinsamelingsbestuurder by dch@durbanvillekinderhuis.org.za of 021 975 6822 met navrae oor hoe om betrokke te raak.
Support for food gardens
Ben Glover (links), bekende Marlborough-wynmaker van Glover Family Vineyards in Nieu-Seeland, by Thys Louw, eienaar-wynmaker van die Diemersdal-wynlandgoed.
Tweede oes Kiwi-wyn land op Diemersdal Die tweede oes vir Diemersdal se Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, wat gemaak word op Nieu-Seeland se Suideiland, het hier geland om plaaslike wynliefhebbers die uitbundige geure van dié kultivar uit die Land van die Lang Wit Wolk te laat proe. Diemersdal se eerste Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc het aan die einde van 2019 sy buiging gemaak – ’n wyn afkomstig van Marlborough, sowat 11 000 km van die Diemersdal-wynlandgoed. Dit was juis tydens ’n besoek aan Marlborough in 2016 dat Thys Louw, eienaarwynmaker van Diemersdal, versot geraak het op die Nieu-Seelandse sauvignon blanc-wyne en hy besluit het om ’n wyn te maak in dié streek onder sy Die-
mersdal-etiket. Thys het kragte saamgespan met die bekende Marlborough-wynmaker Ben Glover van Glover Family Vineyards vir die maak van die wyn. Die druiwe vir die wyn kom van die Dillons Point-substreek, van waar Glover Family Vineyards ook hul druiwe kry. Glover sê die samewerking met Diemersdal was ’n hoogtepunt vir hom en sy span in Nieu-Seeland in ’n jaar swaar getref deur die viruspandemie. “Projekte soos hierdie is so belangrik om ons byeen te bring, en ons as wynmense meer bewus te maak van wat in mekaar se agterplase aangaan en die interaksie en deel van kennis en stories te geniet, sê hy.
Non-profit organisations are urged to apply for grant funding to implement a food garden project in partnership with the City of Cape Town. In a statement it reads that this initiative by the City’s urban management directorate is an intervention planned for the current financial year and is set to see an estimated 720 farmers participating in this urban farming project, with at least 30 food gardens in each of the City’s 24 subcouncils. “The organisations which will be considered will be legally established, registered as a non-profit organisation or as a non-governmental organisation, with proven expertise and/or accreditation in the field of urban farming, poverty alleviation, project management, capacity building and empowerment of disadvantaged communities.” The City’s Mayco member for urban management, Grant Twigg said food gardens ensure food security. “Growing our own food helps us to create better food security for our communities, improves our diet and health, helps to alleviate poverty and also assists with building skills and creating jobs. “The project will provide support to new and existing farmers using secured sites such as backyards, schools, open space around City buildings, churches, NGOs, clinics and libraries that require no capital costs. “We want to see our communities being actively involved and taking ownership of projects of this nature.” The following are examples of support initiatives that may be considered: . farming kits including but not limited to tools, seeds and fertilisers; . training including, but not limited to, skills development in areas like planting, tending, harvesting, mentoring etc; and . business development support, establishment of cooperatives and facilitating access to markets. All prospective applicants must submit
the following documents: . City’s supplier database number and National Treasury supplier database registration number; . a signed copy of the organisation’s constitution; . proof of bank account details (not older than three months and stamped by the bank); . list of your organisation’s bank account signatories issued by the bank; . latest annual financial statements (if the amount you are applying for is more than R50 000); . an Income and Expenditure Statement as tabled at your last Annual General Meeting (if the amount you are applying for is less than R50 000); and . a copy of your organisation’s latest upto-date municipal account. If the organisation is in arrears, you can arrange a payment plan with the City’s revenue department. If the organisation is renting property, the owner (Lessor) of the property must be up-to-date with their municipal account payments. If the organisation is registered as a VAT Vendor, the organisation must submit a zero-rated tax invoice, which will include the City’s VAT number 4500193497; . a valid tax compliance status certificate including a Sars issued tax pin; . a valid NPO/PBO certificate; . certified copies of the identity documents (ID) of board members/management committee members/ members of the board of directors or certified copies of the ID of the chairperson and treasurer of the organisation; and . minutes of the organisation’s AGM not older than 18 months. The statement adds that proposals and submissions together with all supporting documentation must be submitted to: urban.agriculture@capetown.gov.za by no later than 16:00 on Friday 19 February.

Scintillating start to season The 2021 Western Cape Rotax Max Challenge karting season exploded to life on a typically searing Cape February day thankfully punctuated by an occasional breeze at Killarney on Saturday 13 February. The action was just as hot on track in a day of contrasts that saw both a bit of domination as well as some cracking fights for glory through the afternoon. Senior Max was surely the race of the day as Andrew Rackstraw took the overall win without winning a heat. In a dramatic afternoon, pole man and South African champion Tate Bishop exited the first race early, leaving Jason Coetzee to storm to the win from Rackstraw and Kyle Visser. Bishop then took advantage of a fraught five-way fight ahead of him to move up from the back and pounce for the lead and make off for the second race win over Kyle Visser, while Rackstraw and Storm Lanfear pulled a last lap move on Charl Visser for third and fourth. Bishop then took care of early leaders Rackstraw and Coetzee to make off for another heat win in the final, but Charl Visser’s day went from bad to worse when he exited after coming from behind to second to release Rackstraw, Kyle Visser and Lanfear after Coetzee was stripped of third for his part in Visser’s demise. That meant that Rackstraw took the day from Kyle Visser, Lanfear, the troubled Charl Visser and Coetzee. It was a different matter in DD2, where Joseph Oelz came, saw and conquered on his DD2 debut for his return to karting following a year away. Joseph put it on pole position and steamed away to a trio of race wins, with a fastest lap each time over reigning South African champion Sebastian Boyd. Behind them, Masters winner Conor Hughes kept the battling Jared Jordan, Andrew Thomas and Michael Jordan at bay for third overall, ahead of a splendid dice between Steve Beaumont, newcomer Rafe Tayler, Andre Steenkamp and rookie Gil Simoes.
It was a case of more domination when WP Mini champion Reza Levy put a season of quietly learning the bigger class to great use as he troubled the Senior frontrunners en route to a compelling high school Junior Max win. The constantly improving Matthew Wadeley however left Killarney with a new Junior Max lap record as he made Levy work for his final win. Wadeley also held Ethan Stier off for second overall with two heat seconds to Stier’s one with Jaden Jacobs fourth from Joshua Smit and Joaquin de Oliveira, both of whom later concentrated on their Mini Max afternoons. De Oliveira had a brilliant day in senior primary Mini Max as he made off up front to deliver a clean sweep with three fastest laps too. He left his rivals to fight it out among themselves as the top five each had a turn on the podium through the day in a great start to the Mini Max season. Out of town visitor Erich Heystek improved through the day to deliver a fine come from behind third in heat 2, before going one better to take second for the day by a point from Joshua Smit and another ever-improving local Jordon Wadeley, Keagen Beaumont, Jude Stuart, Ethan Deacon and Oliver Roach. While those three races saw domination, junior primary Micro Max was on the other hand once
again most entertaining. Kegan Martin overcame Dale Hobbs to win the first race but hit trouble in race 2, before bouncing back to pass Hobbs early and drive off to the final heat win. That was not enough to stoop Hobbs from taking the day from Martin, while Aiden Beaumont overcame a tight battle through the day to beat Eric Norman to third. They came home ahead of a most entertaining day long wrought between Matthew Roach, Matthew Chiwara and Siyabonga Ntuli for fifth. Michael Danks meanwhile laid early claim to the 2021 WP baby Bambino title with yet another dominant pole, triple race wins and a triple fastest lap run en route to the win for the day. Impressive Jozi rookie visitor Kayde Cornofsky diced all the way with Siyabonga Ntuli on their way to second and third. And John Norman pinched a podium third in the final heat en route to fourth from Ruan Lewis and Liam Wharton. The opening round of the Northern Regions Rotax Max Challenge is next up at the Formula K Raceway on 6 March, before the second round of the KZN regionals at iDube on 14 March. Then follows the first 2021 Rotax Max National back at Killarney on 26 March 2021. All races remain scheduled to continue without spectators under lockdown regulations.

omersport-ampsdraers bly steeds hoopvol dat wedstryde en byeenkomste wél nog later vanjaar afgehandel sal kan word. Ná alle sport op amateur- en skolevlak vir die res van die huidige somer afgelas is, word vertrou dat mededingende sport tog weer met die aanvang van die volgende somer in Oktober sal kan plaasvind. Indien die huidige afname in aktiewe viruspandemie-gevalle voortduur en terselfdertyd gehoor gegee word aan die voorgeskrewe protokol, behoort somersport-aktiwiteite oor ’n paar maande te realiseer. Die WP Noordelike Stadsgebiede Skolekrieket-streekunie (WPNS) het in der waarheid reeds besluit om vier van sy vyf kompetisies wat hierdie kwartaal sou plaasvind, na die begin van die volgende somer – dus die vierde kwartaal – aan te skuif. Dit sal onder meer matrikulante, wat nog vir oulaas wed-
stryde vir hul skoolspanne wil speel, die geleentheid daartoe gee. Buiten die WPNS se Saterdagligakompetisies vir o.19A-, o.15A- en o.14A-spanne sal die Sammy Bloch/Medicare Apteke-uitklopkompetisie op weeksdae vir skole se eerste spanne hopelik almal in die vierde kwartaal aangebied word. Net die kompetisie vir skole se o.19B-spanne sal verval. Ook die jaarlikse sesaan-’n-kant-toernooi wat vir Oktober geskeduleer was, sal nie vanjaar plaasvind nie. Afgesien van hierdie kwartaal se vier aangeskuifde kompetisies na Oktober sal die o.15en o.14-spanne se weekdag-uitklopkompetisies ook dan plaasvind. Maar, aangesien die vierde kwartaal ’n kort sportkwartaal is voor die jaareindeksamen begin, en om ’n opeenhoping van wedstryde te vermy, sal skole in die WPNS-gebied binnekort genader word met die voorstel dat van die wedstryde reeds in September afgehandel word.
Angelique, Maizie and Theo Buttress.
Former pro to uplift local women’s football REMO ANDREWS The Bantwana College non-profit company (NPC) launched in Cape Town on Sunday 14 February, at Fives Futbol at Bayside Mall in Blouberg. The NPC was founded by Cape Town native, Theo Buttress in Gauteng with the aim of improving the development of women’s football in the country. A former professional footballer in the 80s, Buttress recognised a lack of football development in women’s football when his three daughters took an interest in the game but found that there was a lack of opportunity for them. Buttress said, “All three of my daughters love the game, we saw it as a family activity we all could enjoy. “My wife is also an avid footballer so when I found so little opportunity and resources for them to play the game regularly I felt it was my duty to do something about it.” When his oldest daughter, Angelique Buttress, moved back to
Cape Town after completing her Sports Science degree at the University of Pretoria, she decided to expand her father’s idea to Cape Town. “My primary goal is to encourage women empowerment through the sport. We want to nurture talent but also promote a healthy overall lifestyle. Whether you are a great footballer already or are just starting we have something to offer everyone,” she said. This ethos is very much in line with her father’s original idea. “Our vision is to reach as many young potential female footballers as we can and to provide them with an education other than academic, such as life skills, entrepreneurial skills, and financial planning skills, to create a culture of equality, empowerment and hope for a brighter future for female athletes in South Africa,” said Buttress. Bantwana will have their first tournament at Fives Futbol at Bayside Mall in Blouberg on Sunday 28 February.
