Radio Tygerberg palm ‘grote’ in Radio Tygerberg het dit reggekry om die groot prys as gemeenskapsradiostasie van die jaar voor baie ander stasies weg te raap. Die prestigeryke MTN-radiotoekennings, waarby Suid-Afrika se topradiotalent vereer en bekroon word, het Saterdagaand 14 April by die Sandtonkonferensiesentrum plaasgevind. Dit is die derde keer dat die toekenningsgeleentheid gehou word. Bykans 900 inskrywings is hierdie jaar ontvang. Radio Tygerberg het vanjaar vir die eerste keer deelgeneem en was in vyf kategorieë as finalis aangewys: Gemeenskapsprojekte; Geleentheid van die Jaar vir Gospel-skouspel 2011; Ontbytprogram van die Jaar vir Oggendrooi met Anton Brink en Benescke Janse van Rensburg, en Nuusleser van die Jaar – Merentia van der Vent. Die toekenning in die kategorie Gemeenskapstasie van die Jaar word toegeken aan ’n radiostasie wat die unieke behoeftes van ’n gemeenskap verstaan en in hul behoeftes voorsien.
Die stasie moet ’n baie sterk verhouding met sy luisteraars hê en toepaslike programme voorsien. “Hierdie toekenning is ’n geweldige eer wat ons te beurt geval het,” sê Hardus Zevenster, uitvoerende hoof van Radio Tygerberg. “Ons leuse is eenvoudig: ‘Ons verkondig Christus’. Met dié eenvoudige stelling wil ons graag prakties ’n verskil maak in die gemeenskap waar ons glo die Here ons geplaas het. “Ons wil elke luisteraar en almal wat betrokke is by Radio Tygerberg bedank. Sonder julle sou dié prestasie nie moontlik wees nie. “Alle eer moet egter aan die Here gaan. Dit is amper ondenkbaar dat ’n Christen-radiostasie iets soos dié in ’n uiters kompeterende mark kon wen. Dit maak dit soveel meer spesiaal. “Ons onderneem om ons passie – om die liefde van Jesus prakties aan ons gemeenskap te demonstreer – met nog groter ywer uit te leef. Die stasie sal nie nou op sy louere rus nie, maar voortbou op hierdie prestige-toekenning,” het Hardus gesê.

) Nearby eviction spurs city to act
Subway finally sealed MARANA BRAND VAN HULSTEYN
Miracles do happen. And this one should probably be immortalised in the history books of the city. Since an “extreme urgent request” was issued Wednesday morning 11 April, until the building project was completed, it took the City of Cape Town less than two working days. The task? Closing off of the subway under the McIntyre Street bridge, where street people have
been squatting for years and residents have been complaining for the same period. These speedy events were the result of city officials working together after news of the possible eviction of every inhabitant of 1 Du Toit Street, broke earlier last week. This problem building is very close to the bridge. People feared that the evictees may join the group living under the bridge, adding to the already filthy area. But, alas, Friday the 13th seemed to be a very happy day for residents of Clamhall in Parow who have
been living with the problem house, as well as the homeless street people under the bridge, for years. The 22 people residing illegally in the house in Du Toit Street were evicted on Friday by the Sheriff of the Court and his helpers under the watchful eyes of the Parow police and the city’s Law Enforcement Department. According to the new legal owner of the building, Ismail Abrahams, the house will be demolished and a block of flats aimed at the medium to high end of the property market is to be erected on the site.
The Du Toit Street residence had been a thorn in the side of local residents mainly due to overcrowding, as seven families used to reside there, some for over two years. The group included about 10 adults. The rest were infants and school-going children. Hygiene and health issues in and outside the house, as well as the general degradation of the property, added to the problem. “There also had been allegations of drug dealing and prostitution and arrests had been made for drug related crimes,” W/O Jacques
Mostert of the Parow police said. The residence had been the joint focus by various departments of the City of Cape Town, as well as the Parow police, for quite some time now. This culminated in the eviction of the residents. Just before the eviction earlier last week, city officials raised concerns that some of the evictees of 1 Du Toit may move to the subway under the McIntyre Street Bridge. This “house under the bridge” has been renowned for squatters and vagrants for years. . To page 2.
