aar is daagliks toenemend nood onder hawelose en arm mense in Kaapstad en dié probleem gaan nog jare lank voortduur.

Só sê Ilse Maartens, hoof van die nie-regeringsorganisasie Mould Empower Serve (MES) in Kaapstad.

Nie-regeringsorganisasies wat met haweloses werk, soos MES, is al sedert die begin van die inperking kliphard aan die werk.

Dié organisasie in Bellville, met takke oor die land heen, werk al jare lank met haweloses en het ’n verskeidenheid programme om mense in nood te help om in die lang termyn uit hul benarde omstandighede te kom.

Die inperking se impak was egter groter as wat hulle ooit kon verwag. Waar hulle op ’n gewone dag vir sowat 30 mense kos gegee het, het hulle in ’n stadium byna 1 200 etes voorberei.

In daardie eerste fase van inperking het hulle net op noodverligting gefokus, sê sy.

Maar hulle glo sterk daaraan dat Suid-Afrika nie ’n welsynstaat moet wees nie – mense moet leer om vir hulself te kan sorg. Daarom het hulle in vlak vier vereis dat mense ’n sak vol vullis moet saambring as hulle kos wil kry.

Saamwerk Maartens glo volkome ’n samelewing kan haweloosheid binne 10 jaar uit die weg ruim, soos wat Finland reeds reggekry het.

Sy en haar span het die ervaring, stawende studies en passie om dit reg te kry op eie bodem, met hul eie unieke uitdagings.

Dit is egter iets wat net kan realiseer as hulle die hulp van die kerk, staat en ondernemings het wat saamwerk – en hulle na mekaar begin luister.

Dit is die een voordeel van die Covid-19krisis: verskeie organisasies het begin om nouer saam te werk.

MES en verskeie ander organisasies soos

HewLin Compassion en die Voortrekkerkorridor-verbeteringsdistrik het ’n konsortium gevorm en deel nou daagliks hulpbronne en kennis met mekaar.

“This is bigger than our brands,” sê sy.

Hulle het almal dieselfde doelwit – om haweloosheid in die lang termyn op ’n volhoubare manier op te los.

“Ons kan nie net kospakkies dink nie, ons moet langtermyn dink.”

Behuising, groter nood Die inperking het knaende probleme belig en vir nuwe uitdagings gesorg.

“Die goed waaroor ons altyd gekla het, het Covid-19 nou na die voorgrond gebring,” sê sy.

Een van hierdie kwessies is die tekort aan behuising vir haweloses – nie net in skuilings nie, maar vir dié wat al verby daardie vlak van rehabilitasie is.

Daar is verskillende tipes haweloses en daar is nie een antwoord wat vir almal sal werk nie.

Die regte tipe behuising is ’n groot sleutel tot die oplos van die haweloosheidsprobleem.

Intussen het baie van MES se grootste skenkers hul geld begin onttrek te midde van ’n internasionale ekonomiese insinking. Hierdie ondernemings moet eers op hul eie werknemers fokus. Ook kerke kry minder geld en baie se sorg het verskuif na hul eie gemeentes, waar die nood ook verhoog het.

Maartens glo hulle gaan die uitwerking van die Covid-19-krisis vir minstens nog drie jaar voel. “Dit is moeilike goed en ons het nie die antwoorde nie. Hierdie is ons nuwe werklikheid.”

Sy bly positief oor die toekoms, ten spyte van die uitdagings en die feit dat hul hele span die afgelope ruk voluit gewerk en min gerus het.

“Ek het groot verwagtinge dat ons groot goed gaan vermag,” sê sy.

Shop local, it’s ‘lekker’ DESIRÉE RORKE @dezzierorke

C

onnecting the dots between local shoppers and hundreds of emerging entrepreneurs is one solution to fixing a crippled local economy.

Stern in this belief, Lize Testa from Brackenfell, at the height of the national lockdown in May, started an e-mall to encourage people to buy from local entrepreneurs.

The aim of Pixiedots e-mall is to connect entrepreneurs and small businesses in the northern suburbs of Cape Town with the public to encourage local trade.

“Thousands lost their incomes and had to be inventive to survive, whether it be making and selling masks and homemade meals, or distributing a variety of products from home. It was an eye-opener for many,” says Lize.

Lize believes that the effects of the lockdown have in many respects changed consumer patterns to shape a new local economy.

“Within weeks you could find almost any product for sale somewhere on Facebook.

Instead of going to the grocery shop or mall, I found I could simply drive down the street to buy a cup of hearty homemade soup from an elderly lady, or a batch of fresh biltong at the small corner shop. Neighbours started supporting each other in a bid to survive,” she says.

Lize herself lost her income when the training company she works for had to close

their doors for the foreseeable future.

“Local trade suddenly became as local as you can get, and it could stay this way for years to come. People realised they must buy local, to restore the economy.

Pixiedots offers a networking platform to assist new entrepreneurs and existing small businesses. It makes it easier for people to trade locally.

“After Covid-19 hit our country it became clear that the divide between rich and poor, small business and corporate, just became that much bigger. The focus of this e-commerce site is to connect small and micro business in South Africa to the local community,” she explains.

On her website, Lize refers to a survey by the South African SME Finance Association (Sasfa), that indicated that 75% of small and micro businesses would have closed down had level 4 of lockdown remained in place beyond 30 June.

“With fewer people going to malls for fear of being exposed to the virus, this platform also reduces the risk of many small companies closing,” she says.

“It makes it easy to purchase via a secure e-commerce website and a network of courier services from which they can all benefit.”

“Everyone benefits from each other by shared advertising. For example, if you are looking for an item from one seller and you find something else from another seller, that you did not know about, you now can

buy both at the same time. If you are happy with the product you can also leave a review.”

The e-mall has a variety of categories that at this stage include groceries, foodstuff, arts and crafts, kitchenware and stationery.

Products currently available are handmade jewellery, health and skincare products.

Lize says they have pledged to donate 10% of their profits to benefit animals affected by the lockdown in Bloekombos.

“On a trip a while back to Bloekombos we came across quite a few hungry and stray dogs in the area.

“The field worker in the area told us people were really struggling and were asking her for donations of food to feed their animals.

“We have pledged to donate a portion of our profits until at least the end of June but possibly longer towards raising funds to buy dog food which will then be delivered to Lindie Rossouw of Aniwell South Africa, to be distributed to these animals.”

Lize is excited about future prospects and being a small part of the restoration of the local economy.

“We hope through this platform and our Facebook group that we encourage people to shop locally and keep small businesses alive while connecting to others.”

She encourages the public to email her at info@pixiedots.co.za with any questions.

Or see the website at www.pixiedots.co.za, or their page on Facebook.

At last: relief for personal care CARINA ROUX There was a huge sigh of relief from hairdressers and others in the personal care industry last week when Pres Cyril Ramaphosa announced they would be allowed to reopen under strict conditions with the revised level 3 lockdown regulations.

For businesses “that have not earned any revenue and individuals who have not had any income for over 80 days’’ it’s long overdue.

The directive for ‘‘measures to prevent the spread of Covid-19” for the personal care industry was published in the Government Gazette on Friday 19 June and hence those who are able may reopen.

Most could face the initial 21-day lockdown, but with the extension it became very difficult even for well established businesses to survive.

The owner of Salon A1, hairdresser Evert van Urk from Kuils River, says he rented the premises for his salon in Brackenfell for 27 years. “It’s a very good business and my only source of income.”

He has one shampooist that’s been working for him for 11 years and says it beca-

“The only solution was to sell vouchers at discounted prices to get some form of income to just provide the basics.” me very difficult as the owner still wanted the full monthly rent during lockdown.

Van Urk says he received emotional support from all his clients during this difficult time but he was too proud to accept any financial support from them. “I had to close my salon and start a brand-new salon from my home in Paul Kruger Street in Soneike. “With my new salon at home I am ready for all my clients as I have been for the past 27 years.”

Dewan du Plessis from “Divas only mobile salon” in Stellendale has only been in business for three years and says the lockdown was a big shock. He could afford the initial 21-day lockdown, but the extension was just too much, he says. “I couldn’t af-

ford my rent or any other expenses.”

Du Plessis is a sole proprietor and does not have any staff. “I couldn’t benefit from any of the potential government funds or UIF, which just caused devastation in all spheres of my life.” He says the lack of income was the most challenging, but he also feared for his own and his family’s health “as there is no money for medications and other necessities”.

“The only solution was to sell vouchers at discounted prices to get some form of income to just provide the basics.”

Du Plessis says his clients are a force of goodwill who have kept him sane and calm. “They were amazing during this time and supported all my raffles and vouchers.”

He was very happy to hear Ramaphosa’s announcement. “I’m excited at the prospect of going back to work, but I have a lot of reservations as it pertains to the regulations.”

On Thursday before the publication of the directive Du Plessis was still uncertain about how the “new normal” for his business will look. ‘‘I really don’t know.

I don’t have funds to pay upfront for all the safety protocols.”

A lazy afternoon of (illegal) fishing at the Vygeboom Dam for these people has become an irritation for residents. They claim they are pestered by these fishermen who allegedly park in front of their driveways, urinate against trees and dispose of their litter in the area.

Illegal fishing at dams enrage residents ESMÉ ERASMUS @erasmusesme What seems to be an enjoyable day out fishing (illegally) in the sun at Vygeboom dam for some, is an enormous irritation for the residents living in the upmarket neighbourhood around the dam in Durbanville.

People, mostly from elsewhere, use the dam, as well as Sonstraal and other dams, illegally for fishing on sunny days, over weekends and on public holidays.

Last Tuesday on Youth Day the Vygeboom dam was jampacked with about 15 or more illegal fishermen – most not even bothering to wear masks as is required by Covid-19 regulations.

Residents complain mostly about the antisocial behaviour of these fishermen.

“They park their cars – mostly CY and CF registrations – in front of our driveways so that we cannot get out of our driveways,” says one resident, who wanted to stay anonymous.

Someone has also pulled out the sign which prohibits fishing at the dam. It was found laying in the reeds next to the dam.

It is unsure when this happened.

“Their children urinate against trees as there are no toilet facilities,” he says. After the perpetrators leave, toilet paper, empty cigarette packets and other litter are laying everywhere. They spoil the dam for us and others who just want to have peace and a quiet picnic at the dam,” he says.

The resident contacted the City of Cape Town’s law enforcement department, that never came out to the dam. He only received confirmation about two days later

* *

that they attended to his complaint – with the offensive fishermen long gone.

The very next day the street above the dam was again parked full of vehicles of illegal fishermen.

The conflict between residents and the fishermen is a long time coming.

Fishermen are blamed for leaving behind their fishing line and hooks, which often cause injury to waterfowl. Earlier this year an Egyptian goose had to be put out after its legs were entangled in fishing line and amputation was the only alternative.

In 2005, a moratorium was placed on fishing at City dams after several complaints about anti-social behaviour and injuries to waterfowl.

A compromise was reached in 2007 in which limited and controlled fishing – seasonally between October and April and with the relevant permits – was allowed only at Doordekraal Dam in Durbanville.

After numerous requests the City’s recreation and parks department embarked on a public participation process earlier this year to find a sustainable solution for recreational fishing at open water bodies, which can include stormwater retention dams or ponds, reservoirs, fountains, natural dams, river or catchment areas, wetlands, aquafers and streams.

On inquiry by TygerBurger on the progress of this process, Zahid Badroodien, Mayco member for community services and health, says after the initial public participation process, the recreation and parks department became aware that, in addition to recreational fishing, there are other interest groups who want to utilise open water bod-

ies. “The purpose of the study thus had to be reviewed and a new framework developed,” he says.

The study comprises of two phases, which include data collection of the location, historical use and current use of the respective open water bodies. They also have to gather information on the relevant legislation and regulations and do an assessment of the purpose of the open water bodies, he says.

They also have to consult with various City departments, CapeNature and with the national department of forestry, fisheries and the environment regarding legislation, permit requirements and possible restocking options for recreational fishing purposes, he says.

“The next step will include internal consultation with council and management. A stakeholder database will then be compiled to proceed with a public conceptual survey and awareness campaign.

“The priority now is to gather all the necessary information to hold meaningful public participation engagements to understand the public’s views on recreational uses of the City’s open water bodies.

“It is imperative that a balance is found between recreational activities and the interaction with natural fauna and flora without a negative impact on the ecosystem,” Badroodien says.

On enquiry why the City’s law enforcement officials did not attend to the complaint at the dam on Youth Day, Wayne Dyason, spokesperson, wrongly referred to another unrelated incident a week before.

The City of Cape Town’s Mayoral Committee has approved a recommendation for a long-term lease to be concluded with Cape Town Market (Pty) Ltd. in partnership for a multi-million rand refurbishment in Epping.

A statement reads that in January the City embarked on a process to ensure the long-term continuation of the vital economic and social role the market plays within the Cape Metro area.

“It gives me great pleasure to announce that we have taken another substantial step forward by recommending the approval of a long term lease with the market operator.

“With the public participation process being concluded before the national lockdown, we have been busy during the lockdown period, utilising this time to negotiate the finer details of the proposed lease agreement. This includes provision for the inclusion of the Buitemark traders within the expanded market footprint,” said Cape Town Mayor, Dan Plato.

Mayco member for economic opportunities, James Vos, said he is positive that this proposal will receive the full support of Council.

Reduce the risk of child burns ChildSafe, an injury prevention unit based at the Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital, warns that the risk of children sustaining a burn injury is especially high in winter.

Last year, the hospital treated 880 children for burns. The most common (715 children) were caused by hot liquids (such as hot water, drinks and food), followed by flames (55 cases), which are caused by fires.

A further 57 children were treated for touching or coming into contact with very hot surfaces such as heaters and hotplates on stoves.

Yolande Baker, executive director of ChildSafe, says most of the burns happen in the home, specifically the kitchen. “Children are not always able to know when something is dangerous, so parents can start by checking every room in the house for possible burn risks to children.”

For instance, Baker adds, make sure that hanging kettle cords are properly secured and out of a child’s reach. “Kettles are a major cause of hot water burns, which is traumatic and can be debilitating for the child.”

Here are a few tips to keep children safe while staying warm during winter.

Kitchen area . Turn pot handles away when cooking. . Never hold a child while cooking at the stove. . Keep kettle cords and other electrical wiring out of children’s reach. . Place matches and lighters out of children’s reach.

Living room . Always check the temperature of food and drink before serving to children.

. Always place hot liquids and food in the centre of the table, using place mats instead of table cloths which are easy to pull. . Never pass hot liquids and food over a child’s head. . Keep heaters out of reach of children. . Install smoke alarms to detect fires in the home early. . Blow out candles before you leave the room or before you go to sleep – ChildSafe recommends the Candle-in-a-jar. . Avoid illegal electrical connections and ensure multiple plugs are not overloaded, as these can overheat causing sparks and fires.

Bathroom . Run cold water before hot water.

Outside . Never leave open fires unattended and in case of a fire, douse the fire with dry sand. . Never store things which are highly combustible near any heat source.

When there is a fire inside your home . Warn people inside the house to get out safely. . If there is a lot of smoke, crawl out below the smoke to escape the fire. . Where possible, have more than one exit from your house, with clear routes to the door.

If a child suffers a minor burn, ChildSafe advises to first remove the patient from the source of danger. Do not put anything on the wound. Instead, cool the burn area with running tap water for about five minutes.

Cover the burn with a clean cloth or clean plastic. Take the patient to the nearest clinic or hospital.

Vermoorde glo by hof weggewys BRENDEN RUITER @ruitervaniewind

H

et die gereg die vermoorde Altecia (26) en Raynecia Kortje (7) gefaal?

Dié ma en dogter is verlede week vermoedelik wreed deur Raynecia se pa, Ryan Smith, in ’n huurhuis in Belhar vermoor.

Smith het verlede week op aanklagte van dubbele moord in die hof verskyn.

Wat egter die gemeenskap van Delft,

waar hulle by Altecia se ouers gewoon het, dwars in die krop steek, is dat sy om ’n beskermingsbevel aansoek gedoen het, maar dit ten tye van hul dood nog nie toegestaan is nie.

Altecia se pa, Martin Kortje, het verlede week aan TygerBurger gesê sy en die kinders het ’n tyd lank by haar kêrel in Belhar gewoon, maar weens die aanranding het hulle terug huis toe getrek.

Sy is na bewering weens Covid 19-regulasies by die hof weggewys en kon nie die be-

skermingsbevel bekom nie.

Dit het nou aan die lig gekom die departement van justisie en korrektiewe dienste het die openbare beskermer (OB) gevra om ’n ondersoek te doen oor hoekom sy nie gehelp is nie.

Past. Charles George, voorsitter van die Delf-gemeenskapspolisiëringsforum, sê die gemeenskap soek antwoorde.

“Ons sal nie rus voor ons weet of hul dood verhoed kon gewees het nie.

“Ons sal wag tot die OB se ondersoek af-

‘High pitch noise’ irksome in Parow

Const Queenie Mpothla from the Bothasig police handing over the donated toys to sgt Joy Sumsodien of the family violence, child protection and sexual offences unit in Bellville.

Police donate toys Bothasig police recently donated toys to help support young children who fall victim to neglect or sexual offences.

The toys were handed over to the family violence, child protection and sexual offences unit (FCS) based in Bellville, that investigates such cases.

WO Jacques Mostert, police spokesperson, says the toys were delivered to them by a local resident. He says the resident wanted the police to put the toys to good use.

“Her daughter had been cleaning her room and then decided that most of her soft toys be donated to someone who would love

A resident in Oostersee, Parow, says every so often an unexplainable “high pitch frequency” sound is audible in the atmosphere above the leafy suburb. This strange occurrence has led the resident to dig a bit deeper in an attempt to find out just where the sound originates from and to determine what causes it.

Neil Wunsch, the resident, told TygerBurger that for a year now he has been noticing a high pitch frequency transmitted from Tygerberg Hills. “I hear if from a radius covering Parow, Tyger Valley, Plattekloof, down to Elsies River and if I am at Tygerberg Hospital. I have posted a message on Facebook on a group where people have responded to the same issue of hearing a noise in the atmosphere,” Wunsch says.

He says he has already been in touch with the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (Icasa) about the matter.

“They have come out to do tests but with no results delivered. One need to apply a bit more pressure, and people have to come forward about this matter so that it can be exposed and dealt with. Something has been transmitted out of normal specifications and one does not know how harmful this could be. I know this noise sometimes wakes a person up at night. Once you are in a quiet environment and you concentrate, you will be able to detect it,” Wunsch explains.

The Tygerberg Hills area is located on the borders of ward 1 and 2.

Leonore van der Walt, councillor for ward 2, says she has no information about this matter.

Cheryl Visser, councillor for ward 1, also indicated that she had not much details as she has not yet received such a complaint.

Visser referred the newspaper to the City of Cape Town’s environmental health directorate. TygerBurger approached the City to

obtain clarity.

Zahid Badroodien, the City’s Mayco member for community service and health, responded, stating that the City’s environmental health department is indeed aware of the complaint.

“A ‘mystery noise’ complaint was referred to this department by Icasa with the contact details of the complainant. An investigation was carried out on 30 March 2020,” Badroodien says.

He says measurements were performed from the complainant’s residence, in a park one kilometre from the complainant’s residence towards Tygeberg, and from the Tygerberg Nature Reserve’s entrance.

“The readings obtained in all of the above locations were below the allocated rating level for the respective noise districts. It was noted that the 63Hz frequency was prominent during the measurements in the Oostersee area.

“The prominent frequency of 63Hz also did not fit the description of the sound, as 63Hz is towards the lower frequency range.

“A tone of 63Hz could most likely not be described as ‘high pitched’, when audible,” Badroodien explains. One neighbour said he could not hear the noise, the other also had not heard any noise fitting the description.

“The environmental health department would still need to investigate further and would appreciate any additional information from any other complainants,” Badroodien says. The department has not yet been able to identify a noise source.

“Further investigation is required. Thus, should any member of the public have further information about the noise, please make contact with the City’s mechanical engineering department’s noise control unit,” Badroodien adds.

The newspaper is also still waiting on a response from Icasa.

V The noise control unit can be reached at 021 400 3781 or email noise@capetown.gov.za.

and appreciate it as much as she did.

“Her wish was that it should go to the police to assist with the handing out of it,” says Mostert.

The various options were discussed with the anonymous donor and it was decided that it will go to the FCS which also serves the local precinct.

Sgt Joy Sumsodien was overjoyed with the gesture and received it on behalf of the unit, Mostert says.

“The toys will be used during their service to the community and handed out to children who visit their offices,” he says.

Safety at Parow Centre questioned RICHARD ROBERTS @richardjohn_rj Despite the complaints from one of its patrons, the management at Parow Centre says all health safety protocols regarding the spread of Covid-19 are being adhered to.

TygerBurger recently received information from a member of the public, stating his concern regarding the lack of safety protocols.

“I would like you to address what seems to be a permanent issue of Covid-19 non-compliance at Parow Centre.

“Yes, they do screening and sanitizing at the entrances and practise social distancing at the till points in the stores, but that is where Covid-19 compliance ends. My biggest concern is the escalators which are constantly out of order, and people are allowed to walk up and down the same escalator at the same time, brushing against one another whilst doing it,” patron Colin September wrote in his email to the newspaper.

“I voiced my concern to centre management about this dangerous situation and I suggested that they post a staff member at the bottom of the escalator where people are sup-

posed to come down, so they can redirect people wanting to go up to the other escalator, and vice versa.

However, upon visiting Parow Centre four days after my conversation with centre management, it seems as if they have a total disregard for the safety of their patrons, as the same dangerous situation is still allowed to continue, with no signage or staff members posted at the problem escalators.”

In response to the complaints, Francois van der Merwe, operations manager at the centre, said all health safety protocols are in place.

“All lifts and escalators are wiped down every 30 minutes with a disinfectant by our cleaning crew during the day. We have a night shift team that does the detail work in the common areas. Cleaners are posted in the toilets and disinfect each cubical after use.

There are social distancing decals at each escalator and lift to inform and encourage patrons to exercise social distancing,” Van der Merwe says.

He says the wearing of a mask is compulsory and is closely monitored.

“Sanitisers are available at each of the entrances,” Van der Merwe concludes.

A truck was set alight in Freedom Way in Joe Slovo at the weekend. Protests have taken over the streets in the area, with motorists having to find alternative routes.

P

rotest marches and demands for housing continued to spread throughout Dunoon and Joe Slovo at the weekend, with many people gathering to torch buses and trucks.

This resulted in a MyCiTi bus and station being set alight at Race Course Road in Milnerton. This is the second bus to be torched in the area at the weekend as protests continue in Dunoon and Joe Slovo.

City of Cape Town traffic spokesperson, Maxine Bezuidenhout, said no injuries were reported.

“At approximately 22:00 on Saturday 20 June a MyCiTi bus was set alight in Race Course Road between Omarumba and Koeberg Roads. Race Course Road was reopened just before 23:00,” Bezuidenhout said.

The protests started earlier this month after the demolition of shacks erected on vacant land near the Killarney International Raceway, triggering riots in the area.

According to Dunoon councillor, Lubabalo Makeleni, the 1 500 temporary shelter units planned for the Dunoon elderly and disabled in an effort to curb the deadly Covid-19 pandemic, sparked outrage in the communities. “This has triggered unknown protesters who target trucks and buses. We cannot identify who these protestors are. This makes it difficult for the police to arrest anyone,” he said. Makeleni added that the protests are unacceptable and described the protestors as a syndicate holding the rest of the community at ransom.

“The protests have put strain on the housing project for the disabled and eld-

erly to ensure that Covid-19 does not continue to spread in the community. Other groups said they want this piece of land that is intended for the disabled and elderly. Many are unhappy about this project and the temporary shelters that will be built. They are demanding houses for themselves. Dunoon is already a Covid-19 hotspot with residents doing as they please,” he said.

The Table View and Milnerton community police forums alerted the community on Facebook, urging them to avoid Koeberg Road between Plattekloof and Blaauwberg Roads, and to find alternative routes.

Police spokesperson, Col Andrè Traut, said, “A case of public violence is being investigated and no one has been arrested as yet. Police members reacted to the protest and the crowd was dispersed.”

The City of Cape Town’s Mayco member for transport, Felicity Purchase, said the violent attacks on the MyCiTi service in the Milnerton and Dunoon areas at the weekend marks one of the worst in the 10-year history of the MyCiTi service.

“The violent attacks on the MyCiTi service will have a devastating impact on commuters from the Dunoon and Milnerton areas in particular, in the coming weeks,” Purchase said.

The cost of replacing the buses and to repair the station could be at least R8 million.

Purchase added, “The MyCiTi service has been providing affordable public transport to thousands of commuters every day, over the past ten years. Those who attacked our buses and infrastructure are well aware of this, and are hellbent on destabilising and destroying this much needed service.”

Die kat kom weer ná 117 dae CARINA ROUX

’n

Huiskat, wat in Februarie onwetend ’n saamrygeleentheid vanaf Kuilsrivier na Duiwelspiek gekry het, is ná amper vier maande weer tuis.

Anja le Roux se driejarige wyfiekat Masha, ’n Maine Coon, het op Saterdag 22 Februarie verdwyn toe hulle begin inpak het om van Jagtershof in Kuilsrivier na Langebaan te verhuis.

Anja se ma, Wilna Fourie, sê die inpakkery het die huiskat verbouereerd gemaak en hulle kon haar later nêrens kry nie.

Plakkate is opgesit en hul bure se seun, Nic Burger, laat weet toe hy het Masha gesien.

Anja vertel Nic het die dag Duiwelspiek toe gery om die staproete daar te gaan stap. Na afloop van die staptog het Nic ’n nota op sy kar gekry wat lui daar sit ’n dier onder die enjinkap vas.

Sy sê Nic was versigtig om dit oop te maak, want hy het gedink dit kan dalk ’n wilde kat wees, maar toe spring Masha uit en hardloop berg af. Nic was seker dit was Masha, omdat hy vroeër die dag die “groot fluffy, donker huiskat” by sy ma se huis gesien het.

Nic het vir Anja ’n Google-kaart gestuur om presies te wys waar hy geparkeer het en in watter rigting Masha gehardloop het. Anja en Wilna is ’n hele paar keer berg toe met plakkate, katkos, water en Masha se kombers om na haar te soek. “Ons het selfs deur die bosse geklim, maar ongelukkig kon ons

nooit iets vind nie,” sê Anja.

Hulle het oral plakkate opgesit by veeartse, in woonbuurte, by die sweefspoorstasie en op Facebookgroepe vir verlore troeteldiere en selfs stapgroepe, sê Anja. Sy sê die reaksie was besonders en baie mense het aangebied om te help soek en die boodskap versprei.

Masha het ’n mikroskyfie en Anja het bly hoop iemand vind haar en neem haar na ’n veearts. Die hoop het telkens beskaam en genadiglik was ’n kat wat naby Duiwelspiek dood gevind is, ook nie Masha nie.

Dit was ’n taamlik verwilderde en honger kat wat ongeveer 15 Mei die eerste keer in Chris en Frances Boonzaier se tuin in Eversdal opgedaag het.

Chris sê die kat het hul tuin seker uitgesoek omdat die bure almal honde het en Frances voer die tarentale en eekhorings met monkey nuts, waarvan die honger kat ook kom aas het.

Frances het gedink die kat moet van iewers naby wees en het oral rondgevra en plakkate by die winkels opgesit. “Die kat het selfs met sy voete kom krap hier by ons skuifdeur – ek kon sien sy’s honger,” sê Frances.

Verlede Donderdag (18 Junie) het Frances by die Tygerberg-dierehospitaal naby Stodels die plakkaat gesien van die verlore Masha met Wilna en Anja se nommers.

Wilna sê sy was in die winkel in Vredenburg toe sy die oproep kry van Frances, wat vermoed die kat wat al weke lank in hul tuin skuil,

is dalk die verlore Masha.

Anja sê sy het Masha dadelik herken toe sy die foto’s kry wat Frances vir haar ma gestuur het.

“Ek was van voor af hartseer en toe bel my ma en vra of dit Masha is, want die kat is in ’n tannie se tuin in Eversdal.”

Anja het ’n vriendin in Durbanville, Malindi Burger, gebel om te gaan kyk en te probeer om die kat in ’n katkrat te vang.

Anja en Wilna het omstreeks 14:30 van Langebaan in Eversdal aangekom. Masha was verskrik ná die eerste vangpoging en het onder ’n bos in die Boonzaiers se tuin weggekruip, sê Anja.

Haar ma het toe maar saam met die Boonzaiers koffie gedrink en Anja het buite gaan sit en uiteindelik daarin geslaag om Masha met een van haar gunsteling-lekkernye uit te lok.

Anja sê haar “grumpy cat” is selfs op ’n goeie dag nie ’n kat om mee te mors nie, en as jy nie versigtig is nie, kan sy krap.

Masha was bangerig, maar Anja het ’n handdoek gevat om haar in toe te draai. “Toe ek haar vasgevat kry, het sy stil en rustig geraak.

Ons kon haar maklik in haar drahok sit. Sy het net een of twee keer ’n miaau gegee en toe bedaar.”

Anja sê sy het nie genoeg woorde om Frances te bedank nie omdat sy so mooi vir Masha gevoer het en omdat sy nooit ophou soek het na die eienaar van die kat nie.

“Ek sal haar ewig dankbaar wees dat sy my babatjie vir my teruggekry het.”

Daar was trane van blydskap toe Anja le Roux en Masha ná 117 dae weer herenig is.

License testing centres close

Back to business for local casino TARRYN-LEIGH SOLOMONS @tarryns07 GrandWest’s doors will be opening soon, but the date is yet to be determined. President Cyril Ramaphosa last week announced that additional economic sectors would now be allowed to reopen under advanced level 3 regulations of the national lockdown. Of these sectors include accredited and licenced accommodation, casinos, cinemas, restaurants and personal care and beauty, including hair salons.

Ramaphosa said the opening of these sectors would depend on “specific and stringent safety requirements”.

In an interview with Sun Inter-

national’s chief operating officer of hospitality, Graham Wood, he explained that it will take the industry a long time to recover following the closure of its doors on 27 March this year, as a result of the nationwide lockdown. “We have a long road ahead of us, but we are confident that we can regain some of that lost ground once leisure air travel resumes and interprovincial and international travel restrictions are lifted.”

Wood said in order to maintain crowd control at GrandWest and all other casinos under their umbrella, access to casino floors will be limited to MVG Loyalty Programme cardholders for the purposes of tracking and traceability

of customers. “In addition, all visitors will be required to complete a medical questionnaire and have their temperatures taken.

“We had already reduced capacities in our casinos by switching off every second slot machine and reducing seats at our tables.

We are also installing physical barriers between slot machines to support physical distancing and where physical barriers cannot be installed our staff will be wearing face shields. All guests will be required to wear masks.

Our casinos will be equipped with sanitizer stations and cleaning in our casinos will be enhanced as per what we implemented prior to the implementation of the lockdown.”

He further explained that seating capacities in Sun International-owned restaurants will be reduced in line with government regulations. “Guests will be required to wear masks and appropriate physical barriers and personal protective equipment will be implemented. The safety of our guests and employees remains of paramount importance.”

Sun International’s hotels, casinos and restaurants will reopen, but Wood said GrandWest’s CineCentre will issue their own announcement. “We await the publication of the regulations supporting the earlier opening of casinos and other sectors of our industry as announced by the President,” Wood added.

Nine driving license testing centres in Cape Town have been closed until further notice due to Covid19.

In a statement, the City’s traffic service said the affected facilities are Parow, Brackenfell, Hillstar, Bellrail in Bellville, Gallows Hill, Fish Hoek, Kuilsriver, Somerset West and Gordon’s Bay. “The buildings are being deepcleaned and operations will resume as soon as this is done, and sufficient staff members are available to resume their duties.

“The City apologises for any inconvenience these closures may cause.”

Persons whose learner and driving license tests have been impacted by the closures will be contacted by the respective testing centres for alternative test dates.

Rotary Tygerberg channels R10m T

he Rotary Club Tygerberg lived up to the international theme of the organisation this year: “Rotary Connects”.

Appropriately Rotary District 9350 used its connections to raise funds and make donations in excess of R10 million for Covid-19 support. In addition over 10 000 man-hours of work have thus far been expended in various projects.

According to Willy Watson, public relations officer of Rotary Club Tygerberg, they were able to make a donation to Gift of the Givers; connected with The Olympians, a non-profit organisation which distributed food parcels in the Klipheuwel informal settlement – sponsored by Rotary International – partnered with Durbanville Presbyterian Church to provide a meal a day for the children that are cared for by the Fisantekraal Early Childhood Development Centre Forum and administered funds from German donors to supply relief in Malmesbury through the Malmesbury Omgee Liefdadigheidsgroep.

According to Watson they are also working with Durbanville CAN, which are coordinating the food kitchens in Fisantekraal.

“The need to support communities like Klipheuwel and Fisantekraal will be with us for many months to come. However, we are seeing resources being depleted and are in need of donations,” he said.

Rick Shuttleworth, president of the Rotary Club Tygerberg, said there are three reasons why donors should channel funds through Rotary.

“Firstly, through strict governance principles, all the funds received are spent on community projects and must be accounted for. This is particularly important for international donors.

“Secondly, Rotary has built-up networks

“Thirdly, and very advantageous for South African donors, Rotary Club Tygerberg is registered as a public benefit organisation (PBO) and thus able to issue Section 18A certificates. Local donors can thus submit these for tax relief,” Shuttleworth said.

Rotary District 9350 covers the Western Cape and the west coast of Africa through Namibia to Angola.

Retail veteran digs deep to support needy People in the community of Scottsville, Kraaifontein, know they can knock on the door of Donita Stephens when they are in need, especially if their need is for food.

Stephens, fresh foods manager of Checkers Hyper in Brackenfell, has worked for the retailer for the past 30 years, but has been serving her community for even longer.

Most recently she made up 50 food hampers that were distributed to the increasing number of destitute people in Scottsville as the Covid-19 pandemic continues.

“On some Sundays, when she is off, she cooks a warm lunch and pudding for 45 peo-

ple in the neighbourhood because she believes everyone should have a warm plate of food on a Sunday.

Every week Stephens is involved in some activity to help people who are hungry.

Her passion to help others comes from her father, who died twenty years ago, and whose funeral service was packed with young people whom he had helped. He taught Sunday school and would round up the neighbourhood kids on Fridays and Sundays to give them a nutritious meal, which her mother usually cooked.”

Stephens says her community work ini-

tially focused on youths with drug habits and the elderly. “However, with the outbreak of Covid-19, the need in our communities is so great that I now help whoever I can.”

Her food hampers are distributed in areas like Durbanville, Ruyterwacht and Eersterivier. She pays for everything out of her own pocket and says she’s able to afford it because most of her adult children are out of the house.

“My father always said that your tithe (10% of earnings set aside for the church) can be ploughed back into your community.

You don’t have to only give to the church as God sees every good deed you do,” says Stephens as she quietly goes about helping her community without drawing attention to herself.

As she is required to do at her workplace, Stephens adheres to strict hygiene measures, which includes constant sanitising of surfaces and hands, when making up the food or other hampers. All the volunteers who deliver the hampers to people’s homes wear masks and have been provided with hand sanitiser for their personal use.

“We maintain social distancing at all times and at no point is there any physical contact between the person delivering and the one receiving the food hamper,” concludes Stephens.

bout 65 residents from Leonsdale joined hands and participated in a painting project to improve the outlook of the Leo Mews complex.

According to Stephanus Caeser, who was appointed as the community liaison officer (CLO), the project started in March this year, but was brought to a halt as a result of the nationwide lockdown.

“At a meeting on 22 March this year (before the lockdown) our local councillor, Franchesca Walker, appointed me as the CLO for the project. We had begun the painting process, but stopped due to the coronavirus outbreak which resulted in a lockdown.

“During the lockdown, councillor Walker and I stayed in contact and she emphasised the importance of actually getting unemployed residents involved in the painting project. Residents were approached and those who showed interest joined,” said Caeser.

The age group of those who joined ranged between 19 and 55, all who reside at the City owned complex.

“As lockdown regulations began to ease, we commenced with the project on 21 May and completed it on 30 May. Resi-

dents were compensated fortnightly for the work they did. This project has also opened doors for some as they continue to work at painting sites with the contractors appointed,” he explained.

Caesar said he has noticed that those who participated now have a sense of pride in the complex.

He added: “We are grateful for the efforts of councillor Walker in remaining committed to Leonsdale as well as the efforts of Mustapha Isaacs, who is the manager of one of the contractors we worked with. He assisted with food hampers for residents.”

Ward 26 councillor Franchesca Walker said the painting of Leo Mews formed part of a City of Cape Town upgrade project. “Money was set aside to do the upgrade. We employed the residents of Leo Mews for two reasons – to earn and be part of beautifying the area they live in and for them to keep it clean as well.

And the other reason was to keep the contractor and his staff safe so that the project could continue amidst daily shootings. All went very well. We had shooting the second day and the staff went home at 10:00. They returned the next day and finished the project in record time working very well with the contractor. The place looks beautiful and pride is restored.”

cerns that some of this health waste is not being dealt with correctly as many South Africans are self-isolating at home or may not even be sure they have the virus and waste items like tissues are disposed of in their regular rubbish bins.

“These waste streams are not only isolated to the medical field in hospitals or clinics, but also to persons who may be recovering at home,” says Roberts.

“If you have the slightest suspicion that you may have the virus or are feeling under the weather, it is advisable to double bag your waste and take extra care to sanitise your bins when you are disposing of it.”

Countries across the world have reported that lockdown has seen a rise in illegal dumping of waste, as people use this enforced time indoors to undertake clear-outs. Dumping is a major problem in South Africa generally, but with the lockdown this has become prevalent.

People are urged to avoid illegal dumping of materials, now during the Covid-19 crisis more than ever, as improper disposal of waste encourages disease and attracts vermin.

And let us not forget this comes with a hefty fine if caught.

Places like Averda offer different solutions if you’d like to do a springclean.

People can book their services online and the company comes out to collect all different waste streams.

Residents of Leo Mews assisted in painting the complex.

During each stage of the lockdown, one thing remains constant – your household and workplace will produce waste. To ensure clean and healthy environments during this pandemic, all waste will need to be removed.

“Government can’t manage this alone,” says Brindha Roberts, head of sustainability at Averda, a company that specialises in waste management.

“Everyone should take personal responsibility for the disposal of their waste and for preventing the spread of Covid-19, supported by existing government structures.”

It’s generally a good idea to sanitise your bin.

The rationale behind this is simply that waste collectors touch thousands of bins in a day’s collection, meaning that they are at greater risk of contracting Covid-19 from the multiple touch points that they encounter, and that if they have the virus, they can pass it on to many households.

To disinfect your bin, you can use a regular hand sanitiser – 70% alcohol is recommended for Covid-19 – or you can use a household bleach solution.

The US Centres for Disease Control (CDC) recommends that bleach should be used at a concentration of at least 5% to 6%, with a contact time of at least one minute, and allowing proper ventilation during and after application.

Roberts adds however that there are con-

MyCiTi fares set to drop

MyCiti bus fares will be more affordable come July. PHOTO: SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS

Come Wednesday 1 July, MyCiTi commuters will pay less for their transport. Earlier this month, mayor Dan Plato announced that a reduction in MyCiTi rates would kick in with the start of the new financial year.

Mayco member for transport Felicity Purchase explained that the reduction was possible due to fuel prices dropping significantly as a result of the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, the slowdown of economies and the subsequent drop in demand for fuel worldwide. “The tariff conditions for the MyCiTi service determine that, should the fuel price drop below R11.23 per litre for diesel at

NOTICE OF MEETING OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CAPE TOWN A special meeting of the Council of the City of Cape Town will be held on Tuesday 30 June 2020 at 10:00 via the City’s digital platforms.

Given the current State of Disaster issued by the President of South Africa in terms of Section 27(2) of the Disaster Management Act, 2002 (Act no. 57 of 2002), and regulations issued by the Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs, the City is regrettably unable to accommodate members of public at meetings of the Council during this period.

The minutes of the meeting will however be made available on the City’s official website www.capetown.gov.za as soon as it is finalised after the meeting.

COVID-19: KWARANTYN OF ISOLASIE

Baie mense moet weens Covid-19 in kwarantyn of isolasie wees

Wat is kwarantyn?

Ek het geen simptome nie maar was in nabye kontak met iemand wat Covid-19 het.

Wat is isolasie?

Ek is siek en het vermoedelik Covid-19 of dit is bevestig.

WAT MOET EK DOEN? Bly by die huis behalwe as jy mediese sorg nodig het. Moenie werk toe, skool toe, kerk toe of na enige ander openbare gebiede toe gaan nie.

Probeer om nie openbare vervoer te gebruik nie. Vra ander om jou sake te doen.

Monitor jou simptome en wees op die uitkyk vir waarskuwingstekens, veral rondom dag 5 tot 7.

the coast in the month of May, then we can pass on these savings to the commuters as from 1 July.

This is possible because of the operational savings in fuel costs,” Purchase said.

As from 1 July, commuters will benefit from the following savings: reduced fares for Mover points in the peak and off-peak travelling period; monthly pass reduced from R850 to R790; a reduction in the price of one-, threeand seven-day passes; distancebased decreases for standard fare.

Purchase said commuters travelling in the peak hour periods would pay less.

Those travelling from Atlantis

to the Adderley station in Cape Town currently pay R27.90 for a one-way journey on Mover, but as from 1 July they will pay R24.40 for the same journey. This is a saving of R3.50 one-way or R7 for a return trip. The standard fare for the peak-hour period has also been reduced. Travellers from Atlantis will save R10.30 for a oneway journey to the Adderley station as this fare has been reduced from R39.60 to R29.30.

The approved tariffs also provide that should the fuel price increase significantly within the next financial year and remain high, the City may need to adjust the fares accordingly.

Brothers are recycling heroes KAYLYNNE BANTOM @bantomkaylynne

T

he saying goes that not all superheroes wear capes. And two Cape Town brothers are proving that. The Sea Point Primary and Camps Bay High school learners have been dubbed everyday heroes for the impressive work they are doing in saving the environment.

Tyler and Jordan Prince from Bellville have been eco-warriors since they were much younger, explains their mother, Natasha Prince.

Tyler (9) says his parents always explained to him the importance of caring for the environment. The Grade 3 learner is a firm believer in recycling and collects bottle tops and bread tags which he then donates to various organisations and also collects on behalf of his school.

The countrywide lockdown has put strain on many families and Tyler and his brother tapped into their own pockets to help those in need. Tyler says, “I took from my pocket money and bought essential goods which we donated to a shelter for homeless people.

Sometimes I think I have lots of stuff, and they don’t have stuff, so I want to give to them.”

Tyler, who is also a professional model, always motivates his peers and educates them on the importance of recycling. His motto in life is: “If you can dream it, you can do it.”

Thanks to Tyler each learner and teacher at his school will now have access to a face shield after he contacted online print shop Webprinter, based in Cape Town. The company currently runs an initiative called 1 Million Smiles, which aims to distribute one million face shields to schools across South Africa.

Natasha describes Tyler as a go-getter and a leader. “He is a happy child. He takes pride in whatever he does.” She explains that the young boy knows how to work with money and even pays for his own school fees.

The mother says her son is not allowing family members to slack on their “saving the planet” efforts.

“Tyler had motivated his family via zoom to keep recycling on their side,” she explains.

The 14-year-old Jordan, when he is not busy recycling, loves science. His mother describes him as, “Albert Einstein and someone who always speaks on behalf of his peers.”

Jordan has shown great initiative in working out his own home-schooling schedule, one he gladly shares with others. He says, “Each morning when I wake up, I go straight to my workstation. I have set up a timetable listing all my subjects. Next to each subject I write down how much time I will need to spend on each.

“I allocate more time to do difficult subjects and less time to do easier subjects.”

The teen, who would like to pursue a career in either physics or software engineering, shared a strong word of advice with the youth about the environment. He says there will be no planet or environment in the future if we don’t start caring for it now.

Jordan recently won a poem competition for a piece he wrote on Covid-19 titled, “Storm of Emotions”.

Natasha says she and her husband, Michael, are always encouraging their boys to go for their dreams. And these two bright sparks are doing just that. They’re saving the environment and lending a hand to those in need, and according to the duo, they’re just getting started.

Vermy kontak met ander mense sover as moontlik. Moenie besoekers ontvang nie. As jy saam met ander woon, bly in ’n spesifieke kamer en gebruik ’n aparte badkamer indien moontlik. Maak vensters en deure oop. As jy in dieselfde kamer as ander is, bly ten minste 1 tot 2 meter van mekaar af weg. Dra ’n masker.

Maak voorwerpe en oppervlakke waaraan gereeld gevat word, skoon en ontsmet dit; was jou hande dikwels en probeer om nie aan jou gesig, oë, neus of mond te raak nie.

Probeer vermy om borde, drinkglase, koppies, eetgerei, handdoeke of beddegoed te deel – was dit goed nadat dit gebruik is.

BELANGRIK: • As jou simptome nie na sewe dae beter raak nie, kontak jou gesondheidsdiensverskaffer, -fasiliteit of die blitslyn: provinsiale blitslyn 021 928 4102; nasionale blitslyn 0800 029 999.

• As jy kortasem is, aanhoudend pyn of drukking op jou borskas voel, verward of al hoe meer slaperig voel, soek dringend hulp. As dit nodig is, bel ’n ambulans.

Was jou hande. Hou jou afstand.

Brothers Tyler and Jordan Prince have been eco-warriors since a young age.

Love and care pulls her through Covid nightmare

Die vrywilligers Wilma Koopman (links) en Melanie van Reenen sorteer klere uit wat hulle van skenkers ontvang het.

Skenker maak hart oop vir winterklere; nóg nodig BRENDEN RUITER @ruitervaniewind Die harte en hande van TygerBurger-lesers het daarvoor gesorg dat kinders en volwassenes in onder meer Wesbank nie hierdie winter sonder warm klere gaan deurbring nie.

TygerBurger het onlangs berig ’n weldoener van Kuilsrivier het besluit kinders het nie net kos tydens inperking nodig nie. (“Honger kind inspireer weldoener”, 10 Junie) Phillip van Reenen is reeds sedert die begin van die inperking besig om kos in minderbevoorregte gebiede uit te deel, maar met hierdie projekte het iets anders sy oog gevang.

“Baie keer het ek gesien hoe jong kinders in bibberkoue kaalvoet of met min klere aan in rye kom staan vir kos. My hart het gebreek, want hier staan ons warm aangetrek en hierdie kinders het skaars genoeg aan om hul arms toe te maak,” sê Van Reenen.

Hoewel hy steeds daarop gefokus het om sy sopkombuise aan die gang te hou, het hy ook begin om klere in te samel.

“Suid-Afrikaners het oor die algemeen groot harte en soms moet ’n mens net hul aandag fokus op die plekke waar hulp nodig is.

“Sommer op die eerste dag nadat ek begin voelers uitsteek het vir klere, het dit begin instroom. Ons het ook nie net kinderklere gekry nie, maar ook klere vir volwasse-

nes. Werkloosheid in dié gemeenskappe is van so ’n aard dat mense net probeer om elke dag iets in hul mae te kry, dus is klere koop iets wat omtrent heeltemal buite hul bereik is,” sê Van Reenen.

Hoewel ons al baie mense geklee het, sê hy nóg meer skenkings is welkom.

“Ek wil ’n beroep doen op mense dat wanneer hulle klere skenk, hulle nie stukkende klere moet gee nie. Daar is ’n verskil tussen gebruikte klere en flenters. Al is die mense wat ons help minderbevoorreg, wil ons hul steeds hul menswaardigheid laat behou. Tot op hede het ons reeds 500 mense geklee,” sê Van Reenen.

Mense wat klere wil skenk, kan hom by 074 883 6680 bel.

An accounts clerk at Tygerberg Hospital considers herself blessed after she was flooded with daily messages of encouragement and hope while undergoing treatment for Covid-19.

After being on a ventilator for six days with severe Covid-19 symptoms, Pauline Ruiters has not just recovered, but also returned back to work.

“It is really great to be back. I missed being around people, so it is nice to be part of the team again,” Pauline, a Mitchells Plain resident, says.

Pauline has been working at Tygerberg Hospital for 13 years.

Pauline Ruiters “My temperature was 38,8 °C and I also experienced a tight chest, fatigue and loss of appetite. In the beginning, I used the asthma pump and drank tablets for the pain and fever. But my chest got so tight, I had to go to the hospital. I was put on oxygen and an antibiotic drip,” she recalls.

Pauline had a Covid-19 test on 7 May and received her result four days later.

As this is a difficult time for Covid-19 patients with severe

symptoms, Pauline says she was overcome with fear when she received an SMS to inform her of her positive result.

“I was already hospitalised at that stage, and it took a while for me to come to my senses. I had mixed emotions. The one day I would tell myself I am going to be okay and the next I would get completely overwhelmed and sad.”

Pauline is grateful for her three sons whom she describes as her support system. “My eldest son would send me voice notes and videos of my grandchildren and this is what helped me to not give up. My friends and family would phone and send voice notes. My colleagues too were amazing, and not a day went by that they did not send a message of encouragement and hope. I would really like to thank everyone that prayed, phoned, and who had sent WhatsApp messages.

“It got me through a very difficult time in my life.

“It was only God’s grace and lots of prayer that brought me through this,” she says.

JAVELIN CHAMP: SIGHTS SET ON SECOND OLYMPICS

Rocco trains for comeback EARL HAUPT @earlhaupt

T

he Covid-19 pandemic has put a spanner in the works for sport as a whole, but for Rocco van Rooyen it’s come as a blessing in disguise.

The 27-year-old javelin thrower, who lives in Durbanville, is preparing for a crack at his second Olympic Games in Tokyo, which has been postponed to July 2021.

“Life has been very interesting, good and not so good. Good to have more free time to reflect on life and make the necessary changes and plans. Bad, that it was almost impossible to train hard enough and sufficient enough,” he says.

Despite the challenging circumstances posed by the lockdown, Van Rooyen continued performing his duties as a co-pastor at Harmonie Gemeente as well as being a brand ambassador for a mental health hospital, albeit in an online environment.

He says, before lockdown, he was well on his way back to peak per-

formance after being sidelined by injury, which he admits have played a major role in his career.

He says that rushing back to action too soon was not always the wisest choice.

“Rather be agile, have a good rhythm and be mostly healthy than to train crazy hard and heavy or throw too much and be in constant pain. A healthy body brings about a healthy, strong mindset. Now I have to make the most with what I have three operations later,” he says.

He says he has learnt his lesson, and as a result, now incorporates a more holistic approach to training and preparation.

outside,” he laments, but adds he is grateful to be able to conduct most of his training in his new home gym, which was organised by one of his sponsors.

With the revised regulations on level 3 lockdown, athletes are now able to train at facilities, with athletics being a noncontact sport. This means Van Rooyen can get back to throwing the javelin outdoors. While he still finds himself mostly indoors, Van Rooyen says a lot of time has been devoted to strengthening his mental game, while the extra time has also helped him think about pursuing a growing passion of his, after clocking up the minutes on local screens last year.

“Workwise, I have spent so much

Rocco van Rooyen has been making good use of his home gym.

“I try to cover head to toes and try to not neglect any muscles in a week. I always do explosive training, and I keep running, so that I can always remain light on my feet and fast despite weighing 100kg. I work with more cables and medicine balls that cover the smaller muscles and I don’t just focus on the big ones. I must say, this cold winter is making it quite difficult to train

time in front of the camera for the church as well as the mental health recordings that go out to schools.

I would like to possibly do a bit of acting in the future or advertisements if such opportunities should ever come – a possible hobby developing. Being on Survivor might have started it all,” he jokes.

But before he can hone his acting skills, Van Rooyen’s focus is firmly set on not only returning to competitive action but to once again stake his claim at the upper echelons of the sport.

“In the meantime, I will do everything I can to get to the top. I might still compete in Finland around August depending on the lockdown rules. I think some people have forgotten me in the javelin circles, and I like that! I’m always behind the scenes, busy training my heart out doing what I can to stand up again and ‘rise from the dead’ like Lazarus. Watch this space!”

Adjudication process concludes The Western Cape department of cultural affairs and sport (DCAS) has concluded its adjudication process for relief and recovery packages on Friday 19 June.

According to spokesperson Stacy McLean the adjudicating panels are now compiling a report to present their findings to the department. This will be followed by a formal submission for administrative processing.

“Once approved, applicants will be informed of their outcome and the process to transfer relief funds to beneficiaries will begin. Transfers may be delayed in instances where compliance documents were not in place at the time of application. Compliance documents were not used to disqualify any applicant, but they will be required to process transfers to beneficiaries,” says McLean.

Various representative councils were

selected as part of the adjudicating panel, including: the Western Cape provincial sport confederation; seasoned sport administrators in the region; the Western Cape cultural commission; the cultural and creative industries federation of South Africa; internationally established arts administrators, production managers, directors and designers.

“As the application process progressed, we received various enquiries, mostly on the national department of sport and culture’s communication and payment processing ahead of our provincial process. This resulted in some applicants who had applied for both the national and provincial funding, misinterpreting the national communication as our provincial communication, which is not the case as our adjudication process is only now underway,” says provincial DCAS minister, Anroux Marais.
