SEXUAL CRIMES: MORE WOMEN COME FORWARD

Ontmoet die Van Adamse

Community reporting crimes LEBOGANG TLOU @lebsie210

C

rime statistics released by police minister Bheki Cele on Thursday 12 September revealed a general increase in reported crimes at Belhar, Delft and Ravensmead police stations.

Comparatively, police-detected crimes are statistically on the decline in these areas.

Belhar Belhar police station statistics report a significant 37.6% (908 fewer crimes) detected as a result of police action between the 2017/18 and 2018/19 financial years.

The statistics do, however, reveal that there has been a spike in community members reporting contact crimes (crimes against a person) to the police.

Assault with the intention to do grievous bodily harm (GBH), and murder are statistically the highest reported crimes.

Belhar police station informs of a 20.6% increase in assault GBH, and a 57.7% increase in the murder statistic.

Only three incidents of rape were reported to the station.

Additionally, the Belhar police station has also received an increase (150%) in cases relating to robberies at non-residential premises – despite also accounting a decrease of 33% in residential robbery cases.

No cases of bank robberies, cashin-transit robberies or truck hijacking have been reported.

The cluster has received 258 cases of shoplifting (a 122.4% increase from the previous year’s statistic), as well as a 68.5% increase (123 reported cases) of commercial crime, such as fraud. Additionally, 31 cases of arson were reported.

Above all, the 224 cases of rape – and 41 cases of sexual assault – reported at Delft police station signifies that more women are reporting sexual crime.

Statistics reveal that no sexual offences have been detected by the station as a result of police action over the past three financial years.

Furthermore, in the 2018/19 financial year, Delft police statistics report the following: . 1 039 cases of common assault (22.2% increase from the previous year) . 687 cases of assault GBH (3.2% increase from the previous year) . 194 cases of attempted murder (1% increase from the previous year) . 247 cases of murder (26.7% increase from the previous year) Correspondingly, drug-related crime detected as a result of police ation, decreased to 2831 cases, a 925 case drop from the previous year (24.6%).

he dispute concerning the affordability of electricity tariffs in Cape Town, could not be mediated in terms of the National Energy Regulator’s (Nersa) mandate last week, as it was revealed that the City’s raised surcharges fell outside the Nersa mandate.

The meeting took place on Tuesday 11 September between Stop COCT representatives and a City representative.

The City reiterated its position that all components of the City’s electricity tariffs and the fixed electricity charge of R163 were approved by Nersa and the City council according to law.

This fixed charge, the City says is not a surcharge, as believed by residents, but necessary to recover costs of providing electricity services.

However, a surcharge of 23 cents, was raised on the home user tariff in accordance with autonomous municipal legislation, which is not regulated by Nersa, the

City stated.

“A municipality may raise a surcharge on municipal services. Such a surcharge would be used to fund other services and would not be used to recover the costs of providing electricity,” a City spokesperson said.

Sandra Dickson from Stop COCT, said many of their issues were not addressed as the City chose to have a single representative who was not capable to deal with the many issues raised by them.

“The electricity director, Dr Les Rencontré, could not deal with billing issues, the City’s debt collection practices, public participation issues, electricity budget issues or the effect of the new property valuation roll on electricity tariffs.

To this, Mayco member for energy and climate Phindile Maxiti, explained that the meeting was held in terms of Nersa’s authority under the Electricity Regulations Act, and that these issues were raised outside of this ambit.

Dickson said they had to accept that the City was going to only discuss the home

user tariff issue.

“For months Stop COCT has been asking questions around the discrepancy between the City’s implemented tariffs across all blocks versus what Nersa publishes as approved tariffs on its website.

Since 2016 the City’s implemented electricity tariffs were between 2% and 18% higher than the Nersa approved tariffs.

The example Dr Rencontré chose to explain this, was the home user charge.

However, the City adds this ‘unregulated’ amount across the entire inclined block tariff, is used to set lifeline, domestic and home user tariffs,” Dickson said.

Stop COCT’s analysis indicates that since 2016 up to R0,32 was added, unregulated to each unit of electricity Capetonians purchased.

According to Maxiti, this unregulated portion referred to, is approved by the City council which is the approval authority in terms of legislation.

“It is not a new occurrence ... and is reflected in the budget,” he said.

The Ravensmead policestatistics reveal a general decrease in reports of cases brought forth to the station.

Rape reports have dropped by five cases, with 30 having been reported to the station in the latest financial year. A combined total of 44 sexual offence cases were reported, which is a 12% decline from the previous year’s figure (50 cases reported in 2017/18).

Additionally, three cases of attempted sexual crimes were reported by the community.

Although contact crimes in Ravensmead are on the decline statistically, there remains a consistency in cases of violent crimes committed against persons in the community.

Arson is also noted as hav-

ing increased by 100%. The highest statistically reported crimes made to this station for this financial year are as follow: . murder – 98 cases (50.8% increase from the previous year); . common assault – 420 cases (8.2% increase from the previous year); . arson – eight cases (100% increase from the previous year).

Detection of drug-related crimes by the Ravensmead police has also declined significantly from the previous year (65.7% decrease) – where only 840 drug-crimes were identified by the police cluster. A single sexual offence crime was detected by the Ravensmead police cluster.

’n Brand het verlede week by die Tygerberg-hospitaal uitgebreek. Die Wes-Kaapse gesondheidsdepartement sê egter niemand is tydens die “klein brand” beseer nie.

Mark van der Heever, woordvoerder, het die voorval bevestig. Volgens hom het die brand die aand van Vrydag 13 September ontstaan. “Die oorsaak van

die brand word nog ondersoek, maar geen van die pasiënte of personeel is beseer nie,” sê hy.

Hy sê die hospitaal werk nóú saam met die brandweerdienste om die presiese oorsaak vas te stel. “Al die pasiënte en personeel wat daardeur geraak is, is veilig verwyder. Hulle sal na hul sale terugkeer sodra die rook weg is en dit veilig is.”

Seun (7) verdrink by Tygerberg Die Wes-Kaapse gesondheidsdepartement het bevestig dat ’n seun (7) by ’n ongebruikte swembad by die Tygerberg-hospitaal verdrink het.

Volgens Mark van der Heever, hospitaal-woordvoerder, het die voorval op Vrydag 13 September plaasgevind.

“Die departement se mediese nooddienste het op die oproep gereageer, maar kon ongeluk-

kig nie die seun red nie. “Hy is hy op die toneel dood verklaar,” sê Van der Heever. Hy sê die swembad is omhein en dat die hekke gesluit was om toegang te verbied. “Die omstandighede rondom die tragiese verdrinking word deur die polisie ondersoek.”

Van der Heever sê die departement het berading aan sy ouers verleen.

Murder rate in WC concerning DESIRÉE RORKE @dezzierorke

T

he murder rate in the Western Cape remains critical with a 6.6% increase of 3974 reported cases, from last year’s to 3 729 reported cases.

The crime statistics were released by the minister of police Bheki Cele on Thursday 12 September, and reflects reported crimes between 1 April 2018 and 31 March 2019.

The province ranks second in the country, with Gauteng still having the highest murder rate in the country with 4 495 reported cases.

Out of the top 30 murder precincts in the country, Nyanga (289), Delft (247) and Khayelitsha (221), occupies the top three positions, with Kraaifontein at number 12 (151).

Nyanga and Kraaifontein both indicate a slight decrease in the murder rate of respectively 6% and 18%.

A total of 4 649 rape cases were reported in the province, a decrease of 2%, from last year’s 4 744.

Carjackings increased with 5.1%, with

2 294 cases reported in comparison to last year’s 2 182 cases.

Reported home burglaries decreased with 7.6%, 39 418 cases in total, comparing to last year’s 42 662 reported cases, while home robberies declined with 1.4% from 2 787 cases to 2 749 cases. Coupled with this, business robberies also declined with 16.9% with 1 689 cases reported compared to last year’s number of 2 033.

However, the number of crimes detected as a result of police actions, which should show an increase in success rates to indicate police effectiveness, showed an overall decrease of 27%. This category includes drug-related crimes, driving under the influence and possession of illegal firearms.

Drug-related crimes detected as a result of police action decreased from 117 157 to 81 344. A total of 12 561 drunk drivers were arrested province-wide, in comparison to last year’s 12 776.

Western Cape premier Alan Winde and minister of community safety Albert Fritz said the crime statistics prove that police are failing to fight crime. “Despite last

year’s promises from police minister Bheki Cele, violent crime in the Western Cape remains effectively unchanged,” they said in a joint statement.

Winde commented: “I’m deeply concerned that murder increased by 6.6% in the Western Cape. Of these, 47% of incidents occurred in the precinct of just 10 police stations. The murder to population ratio in the Western Cape is 60 per 100 000 – almost double the national average.”

Fritz said: “Murders reported in the Western Cape account for 18.9% of all murders in the country, while the province only accounts for 11.6% of the population. A total of 11 Western Cape police stations are recorded among the top 30 in the country. This is unacceptable and points to the need for more boots on the ground and more regular statistics – at least quarterly, if not more regularly. Fritz added the police needs to adopt evidence-based policing, which would lead to deployment at key times in key hotspot locations.

A provincial safety plan, orchestrated by provincial government is in the pipeline.

Two men arrested for drugs in Eureka Estate Two men were arrested in Eureka Estate for drug possession on Monday 2 September. Capt Odwa Makupula, spokesperson of Ravensmead police, says officers were out on patrol when they noticed a suspicious man standing in the street. When the officers approached him in the police van, he ran and officers gave chase. He was caught at a house on 42nd Avenue. “He was arrested with a silver foil material bag under his jacket with 1012 mandrax tablets,” says Makupula. The second suspect was arrested for possession and dealing in drugs in an unrelated incident in Athena Avenue.

Both men appeared in the Goodwood Magistrate’s Court on 4 September.

Balvenie Primary School in Elsies River received a new hall from Garden Cities.

The official opening of the hall took place on Saturday 14 September.

According to a statement, Garden Cities established the Archway Foundation in 2003 to provide historically underresourced schools with halls, to help redress some of the huge lack of essential educational tools.

This was the foundation’s 100th hall.

John Matthews, group chief executive officer of Garden Cities explained how the schools are identified: “The choice of schools to receive the halls is advised by our recognition that the best use possible should be made of this resource, which remains scarce, but we are also aware that the halls immeasurably enhance the status of the school in the eyes of the community.

We believe Balvenie meets the criteria,” he said.

Elderly knitter spreads warmth LEBOGANG TLOU

Sarah “Ma Sally” Dantu (centre) surrounded by her angels: her husband, Joseph and members of The Shining Light community group (from left) Pauline Williams, Charlotte Frazenberg, Johanna Stephens, Rhonda Arendse, Hohanna Bloys, Cathlene Roman and Wilemina Felix.

@lebsie210

K

nown dotingly as Ma Sally by all the lives she has touched through her altruistic nature, Sarah Dantu (80) is one of the six finalists being honoured at the Community Champions Elders Awards.

Ma Sally from Belhar is one of three finalists nominated in the 80+ category of the awards presented by TygerBurger, People’s Post and City Vision in partnership with Spec-Savers.

She hand-knits jerseys and delivers them to schools where she feels there is a need.

“I do it out of love, nothing else,” says Ma Sally. “I don’t ask, I knit the jerseys. When it’s cold I think ‘Oh, there’s a child with a jersey on’.”

Ma Sally, who is a retired domestic assistant, says knitting is therapeutic to her.

“For me, it’s like a therapy. It keeps my brain working.”

Ma Sally, who grew up in the countryside of Groot Drankenstein, moved to Cape Town at the age of 17 following her parents’ divorce in the late 1950s.

“I had to leave school to go work before completing my senior certificate. Then I came to Cape Town in my early years and started working as a domestic servant until I got married to my husband,” she says. “ ... 18 January 1969,” her husband Joseph adds to the conversation.

According to Ma Sally, she had a relatively stable life from then. “I had a place to stay in District 6. We lived there for 10 years, in a room. Then we bought this little house and we’re still here, for 40 years.”

Ma Sally and Joseph have two daughters: José Franz, who is deputy vice-chancellor of the University of the Western Cape, and Deirdre Spandiel, an occupational therapist in George.

Ma Sally says, she gave up working as a

domestic assistant 30 years ago when her first grandchild, Jody, was born so that José could return to her studies.

“That’s when I carried on with my love for knitting,” says Ma Sally, who believes that those whom she knits for don’t have to know where the jerseys come from. She says there is no greater feeling than being able to continue serving the world.

“Like I say, it’s like a therapy,” explains Ma Sally. “Knowing that I can do good at this age is a feeling money can’t buy.”

Ma Sally is regarded as a mother figure in The Shining Light social community group she belongs to. She says she is thankful above all that she and her husband have set

a foundation for their children and grandchildren to continue the tradition of serving their communities.

“I thank God that my children and grandchildren are giving,” Ma Sally says. “I wrote this morning in my memory book that it’s all by God’s grace, nothing else. We have nothing without God’s grace.”

Despite having five grandchildren, Ma Sally says she does not knit for her grandchildren’s school.

“I don’t knit for a school where my grandchildren go, because their parents can afford. I am knitting for schools where there is a need.”

Ma Sally says she prefers good quality

wool and ensures to always source wool accordingly. “I always buy the best wool. When you do something for the Lord, you give your best – that’s my belief.”

She was nominated for a Community Champions Elders Award by Parkvale Primary through one of the school’s regular volunteer assistants, Rhonda Arendse.

“Ma Sally is a loving, caring, wingless angel,” Arendse wrote in the nomination. “Every year she hand-knits jerseys for the needy learners at our school, all this done at no cost.”

She produces eight to 10 jerseys at a time for learners, which she distributes in abundance and at no cost, through Arendse.

upils and staff of Excelsior High School in Belhar took the time to acknowledge that violence against women needs to stop.

After a meeting that the representative council of learners (RCL) had at the beginning of September, they knew action needed to be taken in the community.

For the day, Wednesday 11 September, all pupils were encouraged to wear black t-shirts over their school uniforms. Some had purple ribbons stating “prevent violence against women”.

The day started with three RCL members delivering speeches.

“As a female I feel that when a man rapes a woman, it destroys her, and she loses all her dignity.

“Let’s change this society we live in, because if we live in a town where crime is so rife what type of people does that make us?” said Tatum Naike, RCL member.

Once the speeches were done, learners gathered on the field, some carrying posters knowing that this is a sad time for many mourning in the country.

On the field, learners stood around the phrase “stop crime”, while the rest stood around them in a circle.

Four girls were asked to lead the school in singing the national anthem and soon everyone joined in.

A moment of silence for those who have been raped and murdered was observed.

The learners were also made

Ortell says the RCL can start a campaign to raise awareness at the school for victims of rape and murder.

DESIRÉE RORKE @dezzierorke Die nasionale nie-winsgewende organisasie Arms of Mercy beoog om meer kankerbewustheid in Kaapstad te skep.

Sodoende word daar op Saterdag 2 November ’n glansgeleentheid aangebied by die Marlenique-landgoed in Simondium.

“Ons verwag sowat 200 gaste wat hierdie spesiale dag saam met ons sal geniet ten bate van kinders met kanker,” sê Anell van Romburgh, woordvoerder van Arms of Mercy.

Arms of Mercy is in 2017 gestig deur ’n klein groepie mense met die

doel om ’n verskil te maak in die lewens van kinders wat aan kanker ly. “Ons het begin deur unieke, goeie gehalte armbandjies te ontwerp – elk in verskillende kleure en ontwerpe – spesifiek om elke kind te verteenwoordig,” sê Van Romburgh.

Die armbandjies word verkoop en die opbrengste sal aangewend word om te help met kostes van kinderkankerlyers se mediesesorg en ook vir gespesialiseerde terapie en behandelings, volgens Van Romburgh.

Michelle Gildenhuys Adams is die seremoniemeester, terwyl motiveringsprekers hul eie ondervin-

ding met gaste gaan deel.

Keanu van Giesnel, ’n neuroblastoma-kankervegtertjie se ma, Collette, is een van die sprekers. Sy gaan Keanu se storie deel.

Lizelle Knot, wat self ’n limfkankerlyer was, sal ook ’n inspirerende toespraak lewer oor haar eie stryd met kanker.

Die sangeres Cordelia gaan sorg vir die vermaak. Die fiksheidsguru Simone Simon gaan ’n lewenstylprogram aanbied en selfs ’n paar maklike oefeninge demonstreer.

Enrico se webreeks beloof drama CARINA ROUX

‘Boys and their toys’ RICHARD ROBERTS @richardjohn_rj Model toy enthusiasts can look forward to a spectacle of miniature cars, motorcycles, battle tanks and action figures at the up and coming International Plastic Modellers Society (IPMS) national competition.

The competition takes place at the Killarney International Raceway clubhouse on Saturday 21 September.

The competition, which is being hosted by the IPMS Cape Peninsula Chapter will feature some of the best in scale plastic modelling, including aeroplanes, boats, and vehicles, organisers say.

“The competition is held every 18 months and each club in the country gets a chance to host.

This year it is the IPMS Cape Peninsula Chapter that gets that honour,” Anton Mostert, competition assistant, says. The chapter usually meet in Welgelegen.

Mostert says the main event takes place on the Saturday which is unfortunately not open to the public. “That is why we have the public open day on the Sunday between 10:00 and 14:00.”

He says all of the models will still be on display and the public will also see which models won the different the categories, as well as which model was crowned “Best of Show”, and in that case the best model in the country. According to a statement, this year’s competition boasts over 150 entries from model clubs all over the country.

Each model will be judged by three judges. An average will then be taken from the three scores to determine the final score.

“The first round of judging will determine which model will win its category, of which there are about 40 categories,” Mostert says. The winners will be the highest scoring model in that particular category.

“A second round of judging will then commence that will be judged from the winning models in each category. This will determine which three models will be overall first, second and third with the winner also being crowned Best of Show”, he explains.

The winner will be announced on the Saturday at about 17:00.

ie lewe maak hom soms gelukkig maar om stories te kan vertel, maak hom die gelukkigste.

Só sê Enrico Harzenberg (23), ’n kreatiewe jong man, gebore en getoë in Kuilsrivier.

Enrico was van jongs af behep met die kunste. “Ek het van kleintyd af op die huis se stoep mal tekere gegaan – gesing, gedans en selfs lyne van 7de Laan opgesê.” Dit het hom nie te veel gepla dat sy familie soms gedink het hy is “mal” nie. ‘‘Van laerskool af het ek myself belowe dat ek sou hard werk want ek het gesien hoe die lewe was in my gemeenskap.’’

Enrico sien dans nog steeds as sy ‘‘mother of arts”, want dit is waarmee hy begin het. Dans het hom gehelp om selfvertroue op te bou en dien as ’n ontspanningsmeganisme.

Sy liefde vir stories het ontwikkel op hoërskool. Hy het in matriek aan die Hoër Tegniese Skool Bellville begin skryf.

“Daar was ’n klomp stories op my skootrekenaar.”

Ná ’n bestuursdiploma aan die Boland-kollege, doen Enrico nou ’n BA-graad in drama aan die Universiteit van Kaapstad.

Verlede jaar is sy debuut-toneelstuk, Liefde is rooi, onder regie van Lee-Ann van Rooi, by die US Woordfees opgevoer. Hy het vir Lee-Ann ontmoet deur haar broer, Garth Brydon, wat hy as ’n held beskou. “Hy werk baie hard. Hy is van Mitchells Plein en bly nou in Los Angeles, waar hy vir Google werk as sagtewareontwikkelaar.’’

Dit was vir Enrico ’n mylpaal om saam met Lee-Ann, wat al 25 jaar in die bedryf is, te kan werk.

Vir harde werk skrik Enrico

nie. Gevra oor belangrike “lesse” wat hy tot dusver uit die lewe geleer het, sê hy: “Doen wat jy het, met wat jy het, waar jy is. Die lewe skuld jou niks. Jy skuld jouself; wees dus geduldig met jouself.’’ Hy sal graag eendag sy eie produksiemaatskappy en kanaal wil besit. #MotherMustKnow,” sê hy.

Een van Enrico se nuutste projekte is ’n webreeks, Van Adamse, wat “gaan teen alles wat ’n doek op sy kop het, armoede en stereotipe idees.”

Vroeër vanjaar is Enrico deur Roelse Events (wat ook die Enrico Hartzenberg FOTO: ROELSE PORTRAITS webreeks verfilm) gevra om ’n fashion shoot te doen. Hy Enrico, Lee-Ann en Monique, het gevoel hy kort nog twee mense maak die akteurs Marlo Minnaar om dit meer interessant te maak en Nahum Hughes ook ’n draai in en het die aktrises Lee-Ann van die reeks.

Donned in a designer dress, the world’s very first humanoid celebrity Sophia said hello to Cape Town at Century City last week, where she was attending Price Water House Coopers’ (PWC) 26th annual higher education conference.

Attending a media briefing before her guest appearance at the gala evening of the conference, she talked about her sense of fashion, what makes her happy and what the future holds for her and the rest of the world with robots being introduced to everyday lives.

“I’m dressed by the talented South African designer Haroun Hansrot. I like fashion, it gives me a chance to show off,” she said.

Sophia uses artificial intelligence, visual data processing and facial recognition. When responding to a question, she turns to the person asking the question to enhance interaction. She can hold a simple conversation on different topics.

With this year’s theme being making a difference, by changing minds in a changing world, the day and a half long conference was attended by delegates from across the education fraternity, mainly public universities, TVET colleges, government representatives, research institutions, and private sector schools among many other.

PHOTO: TIYESE JERANJ Sophia, who was developed by Hanson Robotics Limited, was invited by PWC to show the country PWC does not only talk about technology, but is also taking the strides in bringing solutions, moving with the times and embracing the fast-paced digital world.

Sophia is three-and-a-half-yearsold robot with 50 facial expressions.

She is a citizen of Saudi Arabia, the first robot ever to have a nationality, but “lives” in Hong Kong. She has travelled to over 60 countries.

When asked about her journey to South Africa and if she managed to

pick a window seat on the plane, Sophia responded: “It was a long journey to South Africa. I flew inside a suitcase and I didn’t have to worry about picking a seat,” she said, adding she hopes that in the near future she will be able to pick her own seat.

With technology moving so fast and people worrying about robots taking over their jobs, Sophia says that is not true. “I’m not here to take anybody’s job but my co-workers disagree. I’m here to make the workload lighter. I love working with people and I want to make things easy,” she said.

For Sophia, education is vital. “I think education is very important.

It is the only thing that remains after you have forgotten what you learnt at school,” she said.

PWC director Roshan Ramdhany said PWC brought Sophia to the conference with the objective of bringing technology closer to their delegates.

Minister of higher education Dr Blade Nzimande said at event the education, science and innovation sector remains critical to transform the economy and growth in South Africa. “Post school education and training curriculums remain critical if as a country we are to grow our economy and for us to meet the national development plans objectives,” said Nzimande.

LEWENSKIEKIE

Bestuur jou geldsake soos onderneming Ek gesels dikwels met individue wat nie hul finansiële adviseur se naam kan onthou nie.

Daar bestaan heelwat ooreenkomste tussen persoonlike- en sakefinansies. Die waarde wat ’n finansiële bestuurder tipies binne ondernemings bydra, kan in dieselfde lig gesien word as die waarde wat ’n finansiële adviseur vir jou persoonlik behoort te beteken.

Statistiek in Suid-Afrika impliseer dat finansiële sukses vir individue ’n weldeurdagte finansiële- of aftreestrategie benodig. Hoewel dit algemeen aanvaar word dat goeie finansiële bestuur eens is met sakesukses, glo baie individue dat persoonlike finansiële bestuur eenvoudiger is en daarom nie professionele kundigheid benodig nie.

Dit het egter soortgelyke uitdagings: . Kontantvloei is die hartklop van finansiële oorlewing en die kumulatiewe telbord van jou finansiële besluite. Dit word genereer deur die suksesvolle bestuur van ’n produk, diens, menslike hulpbron of kennis vir vergoeding.

Individue en ondernemings dra egter die risiko dat hul kontantvloei onverwags kan opdroog weens aflegging, siekte, dood, maar ook aftrede. Elkeen van hierdie oorgangsituasies is uitdagend om te bestuur en moet behoorlik beplan word deur ’n projeksie. . Kredietbestuur: Die hoeveelheid krediet wat ondernemings of individue gebruik, behoort oordeelkundig bestuur te word. Skuld speel ’n bepalende rol tot elkeen se finansiële sukses en voeg risiko binne elke scenario by. Skuld is een van die grootste struikelblokke op pad na finansiële onafhanklikheid. . Diversifikasie: Suksesvolle ondernemings poog om hul inkomstestrome te diversifiseer om minder afhanklik te wees van een produk, mark, wisselkoers en geografie. Beleggers behoort hul beleggingsportefeulje se bateklasse, wisselkoerse en geografie professioneel te diversifiseer om dieselfde redes. . Opvolg/oordrag: Die oordrag van eienaarskap of bestuur bly ’n uitdagende proses vir alle sakelui. Goeie beginsels, kennis en ervaring bly die hoeksteen van hierdie beplanning om bates van een generasie na ’n volgende oor te dra.

Hierdie beplanning sluit altyd beskerming, likiditeit-, operasionele-, wetgewende- asook koste-oorwegings in. . Versekering: Langtermyn- asook korttermynversekering is onmisbaar vir sakekontinuïteit (kontantvloei). Alle sakerisiko’s kan nie deur goeie bestuursbeginsels alleen bestuur word nie en behoort verseker te word. Versekering bring hierdie risiko af na aanvaarbare vlakke. Individue behoort hul bates, inkomste, gesondheid en lewe te verseker om ’n finansiële katastrofe te vermy.

Sake vs persoonlike finansies Sakelui plaas meestal belangrike finansiële besluite in die hande van betroubare en kundige finansiële bestuurders, vanweë die geweldige verantwoordelikheid en kompleksiteit. Baie beleggers onderskat die kompleksiteit en risiko's wat hul persoonlike finansiële besluite inhou. Foute word dikwels laat agtergekom en ander betaal steeds die prys onwetend. Baie ondernemingseienaars dra geweldige, ongediversifiseerde welvaart binne hul eie ondernemings.

Hierdie ondernemings is dikwels onbeskerm teen onverwagte gebeure.

Hoe goed ken ek my finansiële adviseur?

Dit is ironies dat sommige beleggers gemiddelde adviesdienste aanvaar en daarom nie hul adviseur se naam kan onthou nie. ’n Finansiële adviseur wat sy sout werd is, sal moeite doen om jou te leer ken, jou uitdagings en risiko’s te verstaan en die finansiële hoogte- en laagtepunte saam met jou te trotseer.

Verander jou lewe deur jou finansies soos ’n onderneming te benader.

Skerp klippe op sypaadjies is ’n gevaar Dit is blykbaar hoogmode om munisipale sypaadjies met klippe toe te pak.

Waar moet die voetgangers loop?

Op baie plekke moet jy reeds in die pad loop aangesien die sypaadjies in ’n swak toestand is. Huiswerkers, skoolkinders en ander voetgangers loop daagliks hier in die paaie.

Wie gaan aanspreeklik wees indien iemand val en deur hierdie groot skerp klippe beseer word?

Is dit die munisipaliteit aan wie die grond behoort, of die woonkompleks wat dit vol klippe gepak het?

Jare gelede moes jy toestemming gekry het om tuin te maak of plaveisel op sypaadjies te laat aanbring.

Het hierdie wet verander, of word dit net vergeet soos die rusverstoring van motorfietse laatnag?

Know more about arum lilies How can this beautiful flower be called a Pig’s ear?

Arum lilies (zantedeschia aethiopica) are found in abundance from July until springtime. The white “flower” is actually a modified leaf (bract) that curls around the stem to form a cone. In the centre the large yellow spike hosts the tiny flowers of this plant.

Next time when you see this plant, stop to examine this spike: at the bottom are the male parts (anthers that carry the pollen), and the top parts, clearly different, are little stigmas. An insect

entering the “flower” will brush up against the pollen and rub it off on the stigmas on the way out. Under a magnifying glass or microscope, this becomes a reality.

Arums appear in clumps because they multiply by means of an underground stem or rhizome which grows tubers or thickened roots.

The plant is toxic to animals and is regarded as a pest in New Zealand and Western Australia. In Eastern Europe, people pay a fortune for a single bloom.

Once in awhile one might find an endangered frog (hyperolius horstocki) hiding in the lily. These frogs are not dependant on the plant, but happen to live in the wetlands. They are creamy brown with orange feet.

If you do happen to find one, don’t touch it, but take a picture and send it to chair@bca.org.za CUSTODIANS OF RARE AND ENDANGERED WILDFLOWERS Email

Doodstraf nie die oplossing nie Ek verwys na die brief “They need to be hanged” in TygerBurger van 11 September.

Die doodstraf mag nooit weer ingestel word nie. ’n Moordenaar en verkragter kan nie regmaak wat hy verkeerd gedoen het nie, al vra hy om verskoning. So waarom wil jy hom hang? Dit is nutteloos. Die doodstraf gaan nie mense keer om te moor en te verkrag nie. Sê nou maar ’n persoon word skuldig bevind aan moord en word gehang. Dan word daar agtergekom die persoon was nie skuldig nie, maar die persoon is reeds gehang. Dan is die samelewing en staat skuldig aan moord, want hulle het ’n onskuldige persoon doodgemaak. Wat wel moet gebeur, is dat lewenslank, lewenslank moet wees.

Amazing customer service I would like to ask all Capetonians if anybody has ever experienced as good a client service as I have received from Donovan Johannes, manager of Clicks in Parow Centre?

I was in a hurry when I entered Clicks but I knew it was my only chance to buy gifts for two friends I wanted to spoil the next day.

I did not have a clue what I am going to buy, and all of a sudden, I saw it! A lovely gift packet, but oh gosh, I needed two packets and there was only one packet on the shelf.

Two staff members were close by and I approached Donovan, not knowing he is the manager, and asked if he could tell whether they have more stock because I need two gift packets.

He did not hesitate to assist me and went straight to the storeroom to investigate.

Unfortunately, it was the last one in the shop, but that did not matter to Donovan.

He went the extra mile and searched the database for any other Clicks branch that might still have stock as this item has been discontinued.

He contacted his colleague at N1 City branch and only one was still on the shelf.

I told him it will not be possible for me to go to N1 City as my mother was waiting. Guess what? He was prepared to go to N1 City and collect the item himself.

He told me, he will be back soon – he only needs 10 to 20 minutes. I fetched my mother at the Faculty of Dentistry and drove back to the centre.

As I entered the Parow Centre premises, a WhatsApp came from Donovan, saying he is back with my packet.

You are the best Donovan and I want to say, thank you very, very, very much for going the extra mile and for being an example of excellent customer service! God bless you.

Beware of taxi with robbers I witnessed a taxi with five men stopping to chat to woman in Inhalbati Street, Parow.

They chatted to her and grabbed her handbag or cellphone. Two other people also tried to assist her but they chased them away. The taxi had no number plate but on the passenger side it was marked A36. I phoned the Parow police and VRCID control room to report it.

Please people, be aware of this taxi.

Live your golden years at the La Récolte retirement village in Stellenberg.

Retirement village first phase sold out T

he first phases of the La Récolte retirement village in Stellenberg are sold out.

La Récolte has launched the final phases of the development which will include blocks C and D. Block C will include a stateof-the-art care centre along with 48 assisted living suites which comprise a combination of studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom units, ranging between 20m² and 60m². Block D will offer 42 independent living units on completion. These units will vary between 60m² and 96m².

The development group’s director, Jaco Steyn of Steyter Construction, says the clubhouse’s original plan was amended to improve the design, size, layout and overall benefits of the building as well as incorporate beautiful mountain views. “The clubhouse, which will include a recreational dining room, ladies bar, beauty salon, braai facilities, exercise studio, lounge with fireplace, and library, is currently under construction. Our main focus is to give resi-

dents a place where they can socialise and relax. Our name La Récolte means ‘The Harvest’ in French, which is quite fitting as our residents are living their golden years and never have to ask for a day off again.”

Jessica Kolver, property sales agent for the C4 Property Group, adds: “Sales have been good due to the development’s excellent location, with Blocks A and B already sold out and occupied. The more than 120 residents say they enjoy their new homes and the simplicity of a lock-up and go lifestyle.

Situated close to Tyger Valley Shopping Centre, Willowbridge, Durbanville winelands, acclaimed Welgemoed Golf Course, hospitals and clinics, the development also offers easy access to the N1 highway. Furthermore, it offers, secure access controlled and manned security and facilities, as well as luxurious finishes.”

Kolver explains that block C not only offers assisted living, but also frail care. “Our care centre, which will be managed by Van Biljon Nursing, will offer advanced facilities

and 24-hour moderate to complete care. Be it a nurse coming around daily to check that you’ve taken your medication, monitoring your health, or staff cleaning your suite and making your bed – independent living with the required assistance. Furthermore, Van Biljon Nursing will manage both the assisted living suites and the care centre, with personalised and tailor-made health care options. It will offer great peace of mind to our residents as well as their families and friends,” she says.

According to Steyn, most of their residents are healthy and active. “Cape Town and surrounds have a high demand for secure lifestyle retirement options. Currently, supply outstrips demand, which makes it an ideal investment for buyers who are not quite ready to downsize, but still want the security of knowing it’s there sometime down the road.”

Kolver continues that La Récolte offers excellent value for money. “Our prices are extremely competitive as are our rates. On top

of it, our apartment sizes are larger than average.

Due to the shortage of available units for rental in our area, our return on investment is excellent, especially for the smaller units.

For those who are not quite ready to move in, we can almost guarantee that there will always be rental income from the unit.”

Each apartment boasts an emergency nurse-call panic button, 24-hour security with CCTV cameras, electric fencing and manned access-controlled gates, DStv connectivity, fibre internet, optional home care nursing, landscaped gardens, laundry facilities and affordable, stable levies. Another benefit is that each unit has a voice over internet protocol (VoIP) telephone enabling residents to contact each other and the relevant services on site, free of charge.

Block C with its assisted living suites will sell for between R995 000 and R1 495 000 and buyers can choose between pre-selected contemporary finishes.

Van der Bank takes cycle title T

heuns van der Bank and Sharon Miller won the 78km men and women’s races respectively at the recent West Coast Express, hosted by the Outriders Cycle Club.

Over the years this race signals the start of the road race season.

History dictates that this time of year the famous South Easter is already blowing but not this time. The north-west wind gave riders a different challenge altogether.

Etnard Louw and Jack van Wyk were the first two cyclists to break out into the lead with their teams lining out the group on the R27 and very quickly built a two-minute gap by the start of the Mamre climb.

The crosswinds wreaked havoc on the group halving the group by the time they turned towards Atlantis. It was at this stage of the race that Van der Bank put in a massive attack solo off the group and reached the leading duo by the crest of the climb.

Just before exiting the Atlantis complex Van der Bank’s attack forced Etnard to chase and this proved to be too much as he led from the first 5km.

Behind the race heated up heading to the N7 with Robby Rodrigues animating the bunch by attacking and splitting the remain-

ing group with Rudie Kellerman and his remaining Team Hartlief lieutenants driving the pace up the N7, by the crest of the N7 the bunch was thinned out to around 25 riders.

The bunch strung out with the crosswinds and steamed back into Melkbosstrand with attacks being neutralised by the riders in the front of the group.

The group came home with Kellerman taking the sprint for third.

Provisional results 78km Men 1. Theuns van der Bank 2. Jack van Wyk 3. Rudi Kellerman Women 1. Sharon Miller 2. Amy Hopkins 3. Renate Gallagher Provisional results 54km Men 1. Carl Smit 2. Barry Hindmarch 3. Mark Wilcox Women 1. Amber Hindmarch 2. Natalie Simpson 3. Alison Ting Chong.

Arnold Block word vereer SAREL BURGER Die Noordelikes-Goodwood-krieketklub se A-veld sal voortaan bekend staan as die Arnold Bloch Ovaal.

Die klub se uitvoerende bestuur het besluit om die veld, wat dikwels ook deur die WP Krieketunie (WPKU) vir interprovinsiale wedstryde benut word, na Bloch te vernoem ter erkenning vir sy jarelange diens aan die klub. ’n Amptelike aankondiging in hierdie verband is verlede week gedoen tydens ’n geselligheid by die klub, wat deur verskeie hooggeplaaste krieketampsdraers bygewoon is.

Bloch, ’n 72-jarige apteker in Parow, is al byna 60 jaar in een of ander hoedanigheid aan die klub verbonde – aanvanklik vanaf 1960 as ’n skolier-speler toe die

klub in Parow nog net as Noordelikes bekend was.

In die sewentigerjare was hy vir vyf jaar die klub se wedstrydsekretaris.

En toe Noordelikes in 1975 saamsmelt met die Goodwood-klub, was Bloch van meet af die voorsitter van die “nuwe” klub – ’n pos wat hy 20 jaar lank beklee het.

Nadat hy in 1990 tot die uitvoerende bestuur van die WPKU verkies is, het hy kort daarna ook erelidmaatskap van die Noordelikes-Goodwood-klub ontvang.

Die WPKU het ’n bloeitydperk beleef terwyl Bloch van 1999 tot 2004 nie net die president van die WP-unie was nie, maar ook ’n lid van die SA Krieketraad se uitvoerende bestuur.

In 2006 is lewenslange erelidmaatskap deur die WPKU aan hom toegeken.

Durbell en UWK veg om plek SAREL BURGER Met Unie-Milnerton se uitskakeling deur Valsbaai die afgelope Saterdag in die kwarteindronde van die WP se Presidentbekerrugbykompetisie met 36-83 te klop, berus dit nou by Durbanville-Bellville of die Universiteit van Wes-Kaapand (UWK) om namens die Tygerbergstreek saam met die Maties en Ikeys na die kroon te reik.

Die kwarteindstryd tussen Durbell en UWK sou eers Maandagaand plaasvind nadat die UWK-ampsdraers uitstel gevra het as gevolg van Chester Williams se begrafnis.

Die uitslag was met druktyd nog nie beskikbaar nie.

Die wenner van hierdie kragmeting kom komende Saterdag in die halfeindronde teen die Ikeys te staan, terwyl die Maties en Valsbaai mekaar in die ander halfeindstryd sal aandurf.

In afdeling B se kwarteindronde het Bellville met 37-23 met Vineyards klaargespeel

en sal nou in die halfeindronde teen Kuilsrivier te staan kom. In die ander halfeindstryd pak Hamlets en St. George mekaar.

In afdeling C het Scottsdene in die kwarteindronde vir Strand United met 51-27 gelooi en die Kraaie speel nou in die halfeindronde teen die Strand-klub, met Hands & Heart terselfdertyd teen Langa. ’n Regstelling: Ná verlede week in TygerBurger berig is dat Kuilsrivier en Hamlets (as die voorste twee spanne in die Superliga se B-afdeling) aanstaande seisoen na die A-afdeling sal opskuif, is verneem dat dit nie noodwendig die geval sal wees nie. Dit is inderdaad die twee beste spanne in die huidige Presidentbeker-kompetisie wat hierdie bevordering sal kry.

Dit is ’n verandering van ’n vroeëre besluit.

Die Superliga in die eerste deel van die seisoen dien met ander woorde nou net as ’n “uitdunningsproses” om die ses beste spanne in elke afdeling vir die Presidentbeker-kompetisie aan te wys.
