BELHAR-BEHUISINGSPROJEK: ‘... DIT IS ONS GRONDWETLIKE REG’

‘Ons soek antwoorde’ SAMANTHA LEE & BENITA JAFTHA

B

In een van die leë huise bly daar glo mense wat dwelms gebruik.

egunstigdes van die Pentech Belharbehuisingsprojek sê hulle soek antwoorde oor hoekom hulle nou al vyf jaar op hulle huise wag.

Terwyl sommige reeds in hul huise ingetrek het, sit ander nog op hete kole. Die groep sê hulle het al in 2014 gehoor hulle is begunstigdes van huise en daar is beloftes gemaak dat hulle teen Februarie 2016 sou kon intrek, maar dit is nou drie jaar later en sommige wag nog steeds.

Van hulle wat al ingetrek het is ook ongelukkig met die swak vakmanskap, mure wat klam is, deure wat te klein is, en swak ventilasie. Hulle kinders word glo siek.

“Dit mag klink of ons ondankbaar is. Ons is nie. Ons wil net ons huise hê, en ons wil ordentlike huise hê. Dit is ons grondwetlike reg,” sê Alroy Singh.

Hy is al op die waglys vir behuising vir amper 30 jaar. Die meeste begunstigdes is tussen 20 en 40 jaar al op die waglys.

Hulle soek antwoorde vir die vertraging van die projek. Die 340 huise moes hierdie jaar voltooi gewees het, maar dit is tot vroeg 2020 uitgestel.

Cornelia Jacobs sê: “Hulle het gesê dat dit die bouers is. Dan wag hulle vir bakstene, dan is daar geen sement nie en baie keer het hulle vir ons gesê daar is geen materiaal om mee te bou nie en hulle wag vir meer materiaal.” Jacobs sê haar ma is al 39 jaar op die waglys.

Berenice Williams het ’n paar weke gelede reeds in haar huis ingetrek.

“My kinders was nog babas toe ek my naam op die waglys gesit het. Toe ek uiteindelik hoor ek kry ’n huis was ek so bly maar my kinders is nou al groot.

“Hulle kan nie die huis saam met my ge-

niet nie.

“Ons staan nou saam met dié wat nog nie hulle huise gekry het nie,” sê Williams.

Malusi Booi, burgemeesterskomiteelid vir menslike nedersettings sê: “Hulle het laat begin as gevolg van dokumente wat uitstaande was.

“Die kontrakteur verantwoordelik vir Fase 1 was agter skedule en ’n program is nou in plek gestel om die verlore tyd op te maak.”

Daar is tans twee kontrakteurs vir die behuisingsprojek aangestel.

Die eerste 18 eenhede was op Maandag 6 Mei oorhandig en 16 op Vrydag 14 Junie. Die volgende eenhede sal na verwagting hierdie maand oorhandig word.

“Die enigste rede hoekom daar vertagings is, is die ‘so-called’ installasie van die Oostersee elektrisiteit bokse,” sê wyksraadslid Willie Jaftha.

Homeless benefit from acts of kindness project TARRYN-LEIGH SOLOMONS @tarryns07

A

n additional 18 homeless people can now be accommodated at Elim Nightshelter after staff of WP Media (publishers of People’s Post, City Vision and TygerBurger) put notebooks and pens aside to make emergency waterproof sleeping bags for the shelter.

This was part of Media24’s #1000 Acts of Kindness project.

The sleeping bags are made with newspaper and plastic, creating a warm, portable and waterproof emergency sleeping bag for those in need.

Manager of the shelter Shafiek Ortell says homeless people come knocking at their door every day: “We have a lot of street people coming to the gates of Elim Night Shelter daily. They normally come for a meal and not for accommodation as they prefer to live on the streets due to addictions and couples not wanting to separate. “We have 70 beds and 15 mattresses, therefore, we cater for 85 adults sleeping here daily,” explains Shafiek.

Housemother, Liza Ortell, says she is grateful for the efforts of the WP Media team: “We think it’s amazing as we are currently out of mattresses. Now we can at least cater to 18 more homeless people.”

Publisher of WP Media Marita Meyer shares why it was important for the team to get involved: “As a local newpaper group, we are part of the communities we serve. We cannot turn a blind eye to the poverty, homelessness and social ills. We strive to assist where we can, albeit by highlighting the issues in our newspapers or, in this case, by getting actively involved in an extremely worthy project.”

V Elim Nightshelter will be hosting a fundraiser at The Barnyard Theatre in Bellville on 12 September at 20:00. Tickets cost R160.

For bookings and information contact Shafeek Ortell on 061 414 8993 or email elimnightshelter@telkomsa.net.

Lauren Louw, who is turning 20 this week, is all geared to represent South Africa in Netherlands.

Delft dancer eyeing World Championship Gold LEBOGANG TLOU @lebsie210

D

elft teenager Lauren Louw (19) has qualified to represent South Africa in an international aerobics competition to be held in the Netherlands in October.

Louw qualified to represent the South African Sport Aerobics and Fitness Federation (Sasaff) at the Federation of International Sports Aerobics and Fitness (Fisaf) world championships, scheduled to be hosted in Leiden from Thursday 10 to Saturday 12 October.

“Dance is my life. When I dance, I dance with my life. I started participating in aerobics in 2016, when I did level 1 and got my Sasaff colours,” says Louw.

By 2018, she had reached the highest level (4) - although she didn’t qualify for the world championships that year. She coaches the sport through her alma mater, Rosendal High School in Delft – where she had asked to use the school hall following an incident where a petrol bomb was thrown into her home earlier this year.

“I started coaching last year because my coach advised me to start coaching. This year, I had ten girls that I took to competition, and six of them qualified for provincial federation colours.”

Louw sites her couch, Marzanne le Roux, as being one of the most instrumental persons in helping her mould herself into the influential dancer she is fast becoming in her community, ensuring that financial hardships do not keep Louw from missing out on opportunities such as these.

According to Louw, coach le Roux is a selfsacrificing person who puts her own needs second to those of the people she coaches also coaching Louw without charging any coaching fees.

“My coach sent an email to the Splice moms (a dance studio), which I wasn’t aware of,” Louw says, explaining how she came to become sponsored for the adventure which looms for the young dancer. “Friday (26 July) she had a meeting with me, and told me that a Splice hip-hop participant’s parents sponsored me my whole trip. I’m still so shocked, I can’t believe it.”

Louw aspires towards becoming a pillar of strength to the young people whom she coaches.

“I encourage people to always believe in themselves; to never give up on something they want so badly, and always remember they can change the plan, but not the goal,” says Louw. “Always remember, whatever obstacle comes your way, you’ll get over it: even if it feels like the world is falling apart, you can do this.”

Although impacted by crime, and circumstantial hardship along her journey; Louw maintains a positive outlook, and said her learners and the Splice studio in Bellville are the happiest influences in her life.

“What motivates me to get up in the morning is that I have exactly 24 hours to do what I have to, and what I can do, to get closer to where I want to be,” says Louw. “Like I said, we as Coloured people have the mentality of taking in the negative of what people have to so say [and do] to us; but I would advise young people to train the minds to be stronger than their hearts because we can do anything if we set our mind to it.”

VAN BLADSY 1 Die begunstigdes sê hulle is gewoond om sonder krag te sit.

“Ons bly in wendyhuise en ons is gewoond die huurders trek ons krag uit, of ons moet daagliks krag koop,” sê Singh.

Faith van Rooi, ’n begunstigde wat onlangs ingetrek het, sê in die begin was daar geen probleme nie. “Nou is daar baie probleme met die huis.”

Deirdre Swartbooi wag vir ’n eenheid vir gestremdes. Die ma van sewe sê sy wil net ’n huis van haar eie hê en is moeg vir al die verskonings.

“Baie van die mense by wie ons huur wil ons uitsit en daar is van ons wat klaar notice gegee het want ons is belowe ons trek nou in. Wat moet ons nou doen? Ons soek net antwoorde.”

Booi sê die eienaars kan ’n lys van kwessies wat met vakmanskap verband hou voltooi sodat die kontrakteur die probleme kan aanspreek.

Wat die begunstigdes nog meer ontstel is dat talle huise leegstaan. Die huise word ook na bewering deur dwelmsmokkelaars- en verslaafdes gebruik. Die huise is ook in hierdie tyd gevandaliseer. Die begunstigdes sê hulle soek nou antwoorde oor wanneer hulle kan intrek, of hulle sal die huise moet beset.

Die eindproduk van hout maak hom opgewonde AVRIL FILLIES

D

ie opgewondenheid as hy sy eindproduk van ’n rou onbewerkte stuk hout sien, is wat vir Jerome Meintjies van Delft die mees bevredigend is.

Hy is een van die steunpilare by Timbacore in Stikland en werk al 18 jaar daar.

“Ek kom van Tulbagh, ’n klein plekkie in die Witzenbergstreek. Wat ek die meeste van my tuisdorp mis, is daai gebakte patat wat in die koolstoof gaargemaak is, wat jy warm-warm met skil en al opeet,” skerts hy.

Die trots wanneer hy na sy eie handewerk kyk as dit voltooi is, dien as stimulasie om die volgende werkstuk aan te pak.

“Toe ek op skool was by die Witzenberg Primêre Skool en Twee Jonge Gezellen en die Waveren Sekondêre Skool, was daar nie baie studie-opsies vir ons nie.

“Vandag se jeug het ’n wye keuse, maar nie almal gebruik die voorreg om te kan kies nie.

“As kinders reg opgevoed word soos 20 jaar gelede, sou ons nie nou met hierdie probleem gesit het waar kinders nie meer wil skoolgaan nie.

“Dit is skokkend om te sien hoeveel kinders nie skool toe gaan nie. Te danke aan demokrasie, kry ons vandag almal gelyke werksgeleenthede.

“Voorheen was daar net vir sekere etniese groepe geleenthede gegee en was die speelveld nie gelyk nie. Vandag kan ons almal om dieselfde ronde tafel sit, gedagtes uitruil en deel tot ons almal se voordeel,” het Jerome gesê.

Die misdaad in Delft en oral op die Kaapse Vlakte is ook vir hom onaanvaarbaar en verby skokkend.

“As jy kyk hoe die tempo van die vieslike dinge wat die jeug by betrokke is toeneem, kan jy net jou kop skud. Ongelukkig begin alles by die opvoeding van ’n kind en speel dit ’n belangrike rol,” het hy gesê.

Wat Jerome ook van Tulbagh mis, is die absolute stilte en die eenvoudigheid van net wees.

“Die vars lug en daai wedersydse respek en omgee vir mekaar op die platteland, kan jy nie aan iemand beskryf wat dit nie self ervaar het nie. Maar daar is so baie wat ek hier mis, ons los dit maar net by hierdie,” het Jerome gesê.

As hy nou vir ’n bekende iets uit hout kan ontwerp, sal dit vir Tito Mboweni, minister van finansies, wees.

“Ek sal vir hom ’n groot railway sleeperkluis reg om die staatskas bou – om die geld veilig te hou,” skerts hy.

Die wanpersepsie wat nog steeds en vir baie lank nog die ronde doen, is dat baie mense steeds dink hout is hout en klaar.

“Maar dit is glad nie die geval nie. Jy kry pine en dan kry jy treated pine, wat 10 keer beter is as deesdae se meranti.

“My klante het al gesê pine het ’n wil van sy eie, maar jy moet hom in toom hou.

Die aanwending en behandeling is uiters belangrik,” sê hy.

Om te ontspan geniet hy dit om raakrugsaam met sy kinders te speel.

“My lewe bestaan nie net uit hout en houtprodukte nie. As pa gee ek soveel ondersteuning aan my kinders soos ek kan en is ook betrokke by uitreikprogramme in my gemeenskap.

“As man staan ek my vrou ten volle by en ons ondersteun mekaar.

“As ek enigiets in Delft kan verander, sal ek graag jong kinders se sienswyse teenoor ouer mense wil verander.

“Ek is ook ’n groot Springbokondersteuner, trots Suid-Afrikaans, en kan nie wag vir die rugbywêreldbeker om volgende maand af te skop nie,” het Jerome gesê.

Koorfees spesiaal vir ouers gehou AVRIL FILLIES ’n Koorfees spesiaal vir ouers wat nie die voorreg gehad het om hul kinders in Mei by die Tygerberg-Eisteddfod te sien optree nie, word op Saterdag 18 Augustus gehou.

Die Eurecon Primêre Skool in Elsiesrivier bied die koorfees Kô laat ons sing by die Belvue Primêre Skool in Belhar in samewerking met ander skole in die omgewing aan. Dit begin om 15:00.

Die ander primêre skole wat gaan deelneem, is Eureka, Winsley, Belvue, Vorentoe, Kasselsvlei, Bellville-Suid en die Athlone Skool vir Blindes.

“Eurecon se junior- en seniorkore het aan die eisteddfod in Mei deelgeneem en ouers wou hul kinders sien optree, maar die toegangsgeld was te hoog. “Ons het besluit om die koorfees in samewerking met ander skole, wat dieselfde visie het om die skoolkoorkultuur in ons gemeenskappe aan te wakker, aan te bied,” het Sharon Spannenberg, onderwyser by Eurecon, gesê.

Met die koorfees Saterdag wil die skole die leerders se talent aan die publiek bekend stel, en dit is hoe die koorfees se naam Kô laat ons sing gebore is.

“Ons het die uitnodiging vir deelname aan verskeie skole in Belhar, Elsiesrivier, Ravensmead en Bellville gestuur, en bogenoemde skole het die uitnodiging aanvaar,” sê Spannenberg.

Die repertoire sluit in sangstukke soos: “What a wonderful world”, “Greatest love of all”, “We all stand together” en “I am a small part of the world”. Die Marimba-orkes van die Athlone Skool vir Blindes sal ook optree.

Die idee van die koorfees is nie om geld te maak nie, maar om ouers en vriende die kans te gee om hul kinders te sien optree.

“Ons vra R10 per persoon en indien daar ’n wins gemaak word, sal die geld tussen die agt skole verdeel word.”

“Tydens die Tygerberg-kooreisteddfod het Eurecon se junior- en seniorkoor silwer verower. Ná Saterdag se koorfees neem ons weer aan die Comart Showcase in die Kunstekaap op Sondag 22 September deel,” het Spannenberg gesê.

Volgens haar voel skole in die omgewing dat ouers en gemeenskappe moet help om kinders of leerders holisties op te voed deur projekte soos die koorfees te ondersteun en die kultuur van sing in skole aan te moedig.

Patients are requested to make appointments instead of queuing at the clinic. PHOTO: BENITA JAFTHA

Patients urged to report to clinic only when it opens NLEBOGANG TLOU Patients are urged not to report to the clinic before it opens in the morning.

This is the sentiment of officials following concerns over long waits in the cold outside the Eersteriver Clinic, which have caused a stir on social media.

Earlier this month, at 06:00 on a cold morning, Edward Diegaard and his wife were among the patients waiting outside the clinic.

Concerned over the well-being of his onemonth-old child and that of the other babies and children waiting in the cold with their parents, Diegaard wrote: “Why should onemonth-old babies sit outside in the cold infront of Eersteriver clinic? Because we allow it. So why can’t mommies and babies wait inside in the waiting area? Now they have to queue in the rain from 06:00 only to be helped from 07:30.”

He said to TygerBurger that he and his wife have been visiting the clinic since her pregnancy and is aware of the procedure, hence them getting to the clinic early.

“The doors open at 07:30 then you hand in your card. They then call you on a first come first serve basis. If you are not one of first people in the queue, you can be sure to leave the clinic only after 12:00 in the afternoon,” he said.

Anticipating the concerns of staff safety, Diegaard suggests the clinic opening for women who arrive early with their children.

“They have two security officers on duty from a early hour,” said Diegaard. “All I’m asking is why can’t mothers with babies go inside and wait in the waiting area untill 07:30.”

Mayco member for community services and health, Zahid Badroodien, says this is

not possible.

He further notes that the clinic cannot be opened earlier, due to the safety of staff.

“There is a small shelter outside the clinic gate. Due to safety reasons we do not advise clients to come earlier than 07:30, but to make appointments instead,” he says.

Eersteriver clinic caters to an average of 160 people per day serving patrons from Eersteriver, Bluedowns, Kuilsriver, Mfuleni, Somerset West and Wesbank.

“Mondays are known to be busy,” says Badroodien. “The new housing developments opening in the area have increased the headcount.”

The clinic has an appointment system, where clients can book to arrive and be seen at a specific time. Badroodien says clients with appointments do not wait in the queue and sick children do not need an appointment, and also take precedence.

However, there are challenges which the clinic is still working towards resolving, even though they have full staff capacity.

“Unfortunately, there are still a large number of walk-ins arriving without appointments. During winter there is an increase in absenteeism among staff, which impacts on the appointment system. On such occasions clients are informed of the expected delays and given a chance to report another day if their issue is not urgent,” he says.

Clinic hours are between 07:30 and 16:30, as per the service delivery board display at the front of the clinic.

Badroodien further notes that the facility manager is available should clients have any enquiries. There is also a box for compliments, complaints and suggestions. “A service request is opened for all complaints and a response is provided to clients within five working days,” Badroodien says.

Megan Smith and her “miracle Women’s Day” baby Azariah Gordon.

‘Miracle baby’ an inspiration to all DESIRÉE RORKE @dezzierorke

A

zariah Gordon was stillborn on Women’s Day six years ago.

Her mother Megan calls her “a true Women’s Day miracle baby” – and that’s no exaggeration.

Little Azariah, who turned six on Friday 9 August and is now a healthy little girl attending Eikendal Primary School in Kraaifontein, was born prematurely at 25 weeks.

First, she was deemed as a miscarriage and later stillborn, only to be revived minutes later when air was blown back into her lungs.

Megan recalls the day as if it happened yesterday.

“I woke up around 04:00 on Friday 9 August 2013 to go to the bathroom and this is when I saw light pink stains on my underwear. At first, I did not want to say anything because maybe it was normal,” she says.

“I couldn’t be sure so I mentioned it to my family and that is when everything turned into a nightmare.”

Megan recalls being absolutely calm.

“I wasn’t sure what to do because she was moving and kicking and to my knowledge, she was okay and alive.

“Everyone else was stressed and praying and my family quickly started to suspect that I was having a miscarriage.”

When Megan got to the day hospital in Kraaifontein she was informed by medical staff that she was experiencing an inevitable miscarriage.

“Moments later another nurse came in and asked what I was there for and I explained. She then took a heart monitor and checked the baby’s heart.

“She said to me, “I’m calling Tygerberg Hospital. This child’s heart is still beating.

“I knew Azariah was fighting although she was dying inside of me. I was confused not knowing whether my baby will make it or not. “No one explained anything to me.

Next thing I know I am at Tygerberg Hospital where several doctors told me they could do nothing to save my baby.

“Such things happened. I was in my early stages of birth and they could do nothing to keep her heart going, they told me.

“I was just 20 years old and scared. My womb had torn, and I was bleeding internally, and my baby was lying breech. I had to wait for her to turn before I could push.

“In my mind, I thought, how do I give birth to a dead child, how do I even push”.

“I could only cry as she was still moving inside me, but every doctor and nurse kept saying she’s not going to make it.

“I did not want to give birth because inside me she was alive and when she comes out ... she would be gone.”

Moments later Azariah turned herself and Megan gave birth at 25 weeks to a baby weighing 770g and whose veins could be clearly seen through a transparent body.

“I watched as death covered her little body from pink to blue.”

Her heart stopped countless times and being too young, her lungs were only just developed and she could not breathe.

“The next few minutes were a blur to me.

I was in shock and I thought it was the end.

I would never see her again. I did not even get to hold her”.

She was then taken out of the room wrapped in a blanket and after what seemed like an eternity, the sister rushed back to tell her Azariah was breathing again and is in an incubator.

“I couldn’t believe she was alive.”

Mom and daughter spent the next three months in hospital.

“Her heart stopped multiple times and had to be resuscitated many times. She had many blood transfusions and was allergic to all types of milk even breastmilk,” says Megan.

“It was the most stressful time in my life and still today when we visit the hospital, they have so many stories about the ‘Baby Smith’ that had the staff on their feet.”

After being home Azariah still had to go back every month to monitor the veins in her eyes that were not developed yet and she had apnoea, which means she would stop breathing for several minutes.

“It was the worst place to be and I was alone, I had to learn very quickly how to be a mom without any help other than that of the nurses.”

“Today she is in Grade R and in excellent health. She talks our ears off, is full of life, hyper and strong-willed.”

Being born on Women’s Day, Megan, who is a single mom, says Azariah had already proven that she had it in her to fight, like a strong woman does, even when all odds were against her.

“Just as much as we prayed for her, she held on and one day she will show us all the great things she will conquer.”

Her heart stopped multiple times, but she was still given a chance at life and that means there are only great things in store for her, Megan believes.

“She is an inspiration and motivation to never give up. I want every woman out there to remember, it doesn’t matter how many people tell you that you can’t do something or doors keep shutting and you feel drained and ready to give up. Don’t!

“You are an amazing woman who was brought into this world for a reason to believe in yourself if no one else does and show everyone, especially yourself that you have what it takes!”

LEWENSKIEKIE

Vroue en geld – wees betrokke!

Vroue ervaar toenemende druk in terme van finansiële verpligtinge en al hoe meer vroue raak verantwoordelik vir prioriteitsuitgawes soos vervoer, kos, medies, versekering (lang- en korttermyn) – of dit nou as gesamentlike- of hoofbroodwinner is.

Vroue staan ook toenemend aan die hoof van huishoudings en dit beklemtoon net hoe belangrik finansiële beplanning vir vroue is.

As die hoofbroodwinner is finansiële beplanning ’n moet. As jy in ’n verhouding is, moet jy deel hê in jou maat se finansiële beplanning. Hoe betrokke is jy?

Hier is ’n paar vrae om jou te prikkel: 1.Weet jy die presiese besonderhede van die huisbegroting, beleggings en risikodekking?

2.Weet jy presies wat die situasie sou wees direk na die afsterwe van jou of jou maat (testament of begunstigdes of kinders)?

3.Is dit duidelik wat jou finansiële situasie is indien jou maat of jou eie inkomste skielik wegval?

4.Weet jy wat gebeur met jou of jou maat se onderneming met siekte, ongeskiktheid of dood?

5.Weet jy wanneer jou of jul realistiese aftreedatum is en beplan jy of julle daarvolgens?

Indien jy op enige van die bogenoemde vrae “nee” antwoord, behoort die gevaarligte te flikker. As jy in ’n ernstige verhouding betrokke is, behoort jou maat jou aan te moedig om in jul finansies belang te stel. Jy moet jouself egter nie op jou maat se beplanning, of afwesigheid van beplanning, verlaat nie.

Vroue leef langer. Maak seker jou plan maak voorsiening hiervoor.

Statistieke wys dat vrouens oor die algemeen heelwat langer leef as mans.

Daar is dus ’n wesenlike kans dat die vrou die langslewende eggenoot kan wees, wat dit weereens duidelik maak dat jy op hoogte moet bly van jou finansiële situasie. Verder moet jou aftreebeplanning daarvoor voorsiening maak dat jy waarskynlik langer tyd in aftrede gaan spandeer.

Wees gereed By die afsterwe van veral ‘n eggenoot, kan sekere bankrekeninge gevries word.

Dit kan ’n groot invloed hê op jul huishouding se kontantvloei. ’n Tekort aan likiditeit kan uiteraard baie druk plaas op die oorblywende familielede en kan selfs veroorsaak dat jou woonhuis ontydig verkoop moet word om likiditeit in die bestorwe boedel te genereer. Maak seker daar is genoegsame lewensdekking in plek, wat sal uitbetaal indien jou maat tot sterwe kom om die nodige finansiële leemtes aan te vul. Daar is heelwat kliënte wat by ons kantoor aankom wat nie ’n wettige opgedateerde testament het nie. Die invloed van troues (ook saamblyverhoudings), geboortes, egskeidings en sterftes, het alles ’n wesenlike invloed op jou testamentêre bepaling of keuses.

Maak veral seker jou testament bly op datum as jy minderjarige kinders het.

Beplan vir risiko Vrouemaand is die ideale geleentheid om jou finansiële adviseur te raadpleeg oor hoe jy jouself deeglik kan beskerm teen risiko’s wat oor jou pad mag kom.

Volgens ASISA was meer as 60% van eise vir ernstige siektes onder vroue in 2016, verwant aan kanker en die meeste eise vir ernstige siektes vind plaas tussen die ouderdom van 40 tot 60 jaar (volgens statistiek vanaf PPS 2018). Maak seker dekking vir ernstige siektes, en ongeskiktheid, is deel van jou plan. – Richus Nel (finansiële adviseur by PSG Wealth, Old Oak. E-pos richus.nel@psg.co.za)

Time to find óúr missing billions I found your article on the FBI and Hawks’ collaboration (“FBI tracks down online date scammer in Cape Town”, TygerBurger, 7 August) well-written, with all the relevant facts in place to understand the basics of this crime-busting story.

However, the question that immediately sprang to mind was: Why did it take the intervention of the FBI to alert the Hawks in the first place? Surely R4.1 million in the international scheme of things is no big deal.

Why would the USA worry to chase down an unknown man half a world away for a measly quarter million dollars? Why did they need the Hawks’ help, when our local lads seem unable to find the missing billions of Rand, or the high-profile thieves? Mind you, the results are impressive. With the (alleged) perpetrator arrested on Friday, in court the following Monday.

Nice work Hawks. Now you have perfected the system, please get to it and solve a few local victim’s cases.

Waar is respek vir gestremdes?

Dis met groot bekommernis dat ek gelees het van die onlangse rooftog in die Tygervallei-sentrum.

As ’n gereelde besoeker aan die sentrum is die een ding wat ek opgelet het die afwesigheid van sekerheidswagte.

Wat my ook dwars in die krop steek, is hoe min mense

omgee in vandag se samelewing. Parkering vir gestremdes word deesdae gebruik eenvoudig omdat mense nie meer omgee waar hulle parkeer nie. Wanneer jy na ’n sekerheidswag soek, veral naby die banke, is daar niemand nie.

Tygervallei is ongelukkig nie die enigste winkelsentrum waar die probleem voorkom nie. Oral word daar wyd en syd geproklameer dat motors geklamp sal word.

Ek daag die winkelsentrum uit om my ’n lys te verskaf van instansies wat geld gekry het omdat motors geklamp was. Die enigste winkelsentrum waar ek dit wel sien gebeur het, was by Willowbridge.

Het ons so laag gedaal dat gestremdes geen plekkie in die son meer het nie? Sies, ek skaam my vir die winkelsentrums wat dieselfde doen.

GESTREMDE Boston

Rooftogte is baie kommerwekkend Ek het nou net die berig “Petisie volg na nóg misdaad by sentrum” in die TygerBurger van 7 Augustus gelees; dit is uiters kommerwekkend.

Inderdaad is die betrokke sentrum geensins ontwikkel en beplan vanuit ’n sekerheidsoogpunt nie en die paar sekerheidswagte wat met radio’s en hopelik pepersproei toegerus is, het ek nog nie raakgesien nie.

Ek merk ook dat daar geensins ’n gewapende reaksiemag in en om die sentrum ontplooi is by hierdie betrokke sentrum nie.

Ek verwys ook graag na die gewapende roof by Van Deijl in die Tygervalleisentrum verlede Woensdagaand.

Alle winkelsentrums is sagte teikens en daarom word winkeleienaars daagliks beroof.

As gevolg van al die klante kan die sekerheidspersoneel nie binne-in die sentrums optree nie, want klante kan in die kruisvuur gewond of selfs gedood word.

Die gewapende sekerheidsreaksiemag kan wel buite op die parkeergebied op die gewapende rowers losbrand.

Dit sal dien as werklike voorkomende of afskrikking.

Ongelukkig steur die ontwikkelaars en of gebou-eienaars hulle bitter min aan sulke voorkomende maatreëls.

Die enigste manier om gewapende rooftogte te voorkom, is om soos die casino’s, veral GrandWest, x-straal-masjiene en metaalverklikkers by elke ingang by die sentrum te installeer.

Maar ek dink nie hulle kan dit bekostig of dat die klante daarmee tevrede sal wees nie.

GrandWest is die enigste casino wat nog nooit ’n gewapende roof gehad het nie.

JOHAN VAN WYK Durbanville

Your kids learn from your deeds I’m experiencing a big problem with parking when I pick up my son from school. I sit in front of the school for 35 minutes to ensure I get parking and not inconvenience other parents. But then you get parents that come one minute before the bell and politely park in the road in front of your car.

Normally, this would not bother me because they move before my son gets into the car, but when they come walking along on their own time, not looking left or right to apologise for the inconvenience caused and taking their sweet time to get going (first have a chat) while your car is running and wanting to leave – that makes my blood boil.

Then they have the cheek to look all shocked and disgusted

when you hoot for them to hurry up and move. Why do they think just because it’s at a school they can take their time and treat you as the wrong one? They are teaching their children not to consider others and it’s okay for people to wait for you irrespective if you in the wrong. No wonder kids have no respect for others these days, they learn from their parents!

TESSA DE KOCK Brackenfell

Wees dankbaar en positief Te midde van geweld, werkloosheid, armoede en al die lelike negatiewe nuus, om van klagtes nie te praat, wil ek vandag pen op papier sit en dankie sê aan Durbanville se munisipaliteit.

Twee maal in een week het ons die wonderlikste diens gekry. Vroeg die week lui ons hekklokkie, net om ingelig te word deur twee manne van die munisipaliteit dat hulle die buurt gepatrolleer het om te kyk of daar bome in die afgelope storm beskadig is.

Hulle lig ons in dat een van die dennebome voor die huis wel beskadig is en groot skade kan aanrig as dit op ons heining val, en dat hulle dit gaan verwyder. Die boom was binne twee ure verwyder!

Tweedens, moes ek verplaasde dokumentasie van die munisipaliteit kry vir belastingdoeleindes. Die volgende dag is ek toe na hul kantore met die versoek om die dokumentasie te kry, waar ’n ene George my binne 15 minute doeltreffend gehelp het. Toe ek die gebou verlaat, kon ek nie anders as om te dink daar is nog hoop vir ons land. Ons moet miskien meer vreugde, positiwiteit en dankbaarheid uitstraal en mekaar se arms bo hou!

Ek is dankbaar.

Journey through music and lyrics T

he cast from Lyrics Still Matter is at the Cape Town Comedy Club at The Pumphouse, V&A Waterfront on Wednesday 11 and Thursday 12 September. The show starts at 20:30 and dinner will be served from 18:00.

Vocal artists from different disciplines will share how music and lyrics have shaped their experiences of growing up in the diverse city of Cape Town, as well as how their art was influenced as a result.

Ghoema award-winning ‘‘hip-hop with soul’’ singer and rapper Jerome Rex and singer-songwriter Nadine Matthews, will share their journeys. The show will be woven together by a range of classical and contemporary music, as well as their original material. This will include a combination of RnB, dance, smooth jazz and hip-hop.

DJ IV Beats will take the audience on a fun journey reminiscing on the good old days.

Themes of identity and community pride are explored through the lyrics of songs with the backing of a four-piece band; Nathaneal Barthus, Bradley Lodewyk, Robin Thompson, Vaughn Webber and backing vocalists; Adelle Kock and Timothy Stuurman. Look out for guest artists Demi Johnson (flamenco dance) and Lee Hoffmann (saxophone). They will all feature their talents, enhancing the storytelling dynamic of the show.

V Tickets range from R120 to R150 and are available from Computicket. Limited early-bird specials and group booking discounts available. No under 18’s.

Contact 021 418 8880 or info@capetowncomedy.com.

The Lyrics Still Matter cast will perform at the The Pumphouse in September.

Entries open for budding playwrights The National Arts Festival is calling on new playwrights to step forward with exciting ideas for plays that will inspire and challenge audiences for the 2020 Distell National Playwright Competition.

The competition was launched last year in honour of Adam and Rosalie Small, for their contribution to South African literature, philosophy, education, and advocacy against social injustice.

Scripts by writers who have not had a script or other written work professionally produced for the stage or television can be

submitted. The plays can be written in any South African language and the competition calls for authentic South African stories that promote diversity and inclusivity.

Writers have until 30 September to submit a 10-page sample of their writing, and a precis of the script idea. A finished script is not required for entry. The submissions will be reviewed by a panel of judges selected from literary and dramatic fields.

Five finalists will be selected for mentored development of the script, before the winning work is selected.

The winning writer will receive a cash prize and see their work produced at the 2020 National Arts Festival, the country’s premier arts showcase and a shop-window for producers and theatres from across the world.

“South Africa is endowed with great talent in the arts and we see this initiative as an opportunity to recognise talent, start conversations, encourage freedom of thought and imagination. Importantly, and particularly given our history as a country, we see this competition as a vehicle to bring people

together by overcoming and promoting our rich cultural diversity,” says Bridgitte Backman, corporate and regulatory affairs director at Distell. National Arts Festival executive producer Nobesuthu Rayi, says, “With this award, talented writers are given priceless mentorship and the winner will see their play on stage at the end of the process. It is a great start for a budding writer.”

Entrants must be over 18 (and not in high school) and a South African citizen.

Finding the perfect fixer-upper B

uying and renovating a fixer-upper property – one that’s a little outdated or run-down – is a time-honoured tradition for bargainhunting buyers looking to maximise their return on investment.

Finding the right property is integral to the success of this strategy – a poorly chosen project could easily cost far more to renovate than it could ever recoup in a sale.

How do you spot a fixer-upper that’s worth the time and cash investment?

Craig Mott, Cape Town regional sales manager of the Rawson Property Group, says these are the most important elements to look out for:

Do your homework before investing in a fixer-upper.

Great location “If there’s one thing you can’t change unstable foundations or weathered roof about a property, it’s location,” says Mott. beams, for example, can take a huge amount “If a house is in a bad neighbourhood, an in- of money and expertise to repair,” he says. convenient position, or too close to an unde- “This is seldom worthwhile for buyers hopsirable structure like a cellphone tower or ing to resell for a profit in the short to median ugly apartment block, you can do the um term.

This is not the kind Look out for homes close to popular of issue you want to discover halfway schools, close to central business districts through a renovation.”

If the kitchen or bathrooms are in a weird location, or Structurally sound the bedrooms are all in the coldest, darkest A sound structure is essential in order to part of the home, it’s going to be difficult to keep renovation costs down, says Mott. solve that problem in a cost-effective man“Homes with serious structural faults, like ner.”

Mott recommends looking for homes with convenient room “clusters” – a comfortable bedroom wing, a central kitchen, dining and living area, and logically placed entrances, garden access and bathrooms. “This enables you to remove a few, nonloadbearing walls to open things up if necessary, and you won’t end up with a family bathroom in the middle of your living space,” he says.

Predictable renovation costs Building work is notorious for being unpredictable, but it’s vital to at least understand the renovation cost ballpark you’re playing in before buying a fixer-upper, says Mott. Try and set budgets for individual items or sections of the home, for example, set a price per m² for flooring and stick to it.

It can be very easy to get emotionally caught up on a project and choose finishes with your heart and not your wallet.

“To make a profit on a fixer-upper, the purchase price plus the total renovation cost needs to be low enough that you can recoup your investment – with a healthy profit – not too far down the line,” he explains. “If you don’t fully understand the renovation costs, it’s all too easy to end up with a money-drain rather than a moneyspinner.”

While experienced house-flippers may be able to estimate renovation costs on sight, Mott says newbies should always consult with a construction expert before making a purchase if possible. Don’t forget to assign a portion of your renovation costs

to the garden or green areas, This is often overlooked and can be a deal-breaker if the building is beautifully renovated and the garden and outside areas are left unattended.

“It’s all about going in with your eyes wide open,” he says. “Naive optimism has no place in a fixer-upper project. If you do your homework, renovating run-down homes can be a profitable property investment.”
