Groot gatsby voed 16 mense BRENDEN RUITER @ruitervaniewind

et jy al ooit gedroom van ’n reusegatsby waaraan jy kan eet en eet, en dit nie kan op kry nie? Wel, daardie droom kan nou bewaarheid word as jy na MCD Pizzaen-wegneemetes in Eersterivier gaan en hul Undertaker-gatsby bestel. ’n Gatsby is ’n eg Kaapse dis, oftewel daait, wat bestaan uit ’n broodrol gevul met aartappelskyfies, blaarslaai en bykans enigiets onder die son. Ja, ’n mens kry polonie-gatsbies en steakgatsbies en snoek-gatsbies en, en, en. Op ’n goeie dag, en as jy genoeg geld het, kan jy ’n Fullhouse-gatsby koop. Dit is gevul met slaptjips, slaai, steak, kaas en ook eier. Om bykomende geur aan jou gatsby te gee, kan

jy kies tussen verskillende souse. ’n Gatsby word gemaak om deur vriende gedeel te word en hierdie delery lei gewoonlik tot ’n stryery. Met die Undertaker hoef daar nie meer onder mekaar gestry te word nie. Volgens Johan Joseph, eienaar van MCD, is die gatsby groot genoeg sodat almal genoeg kan kry. “Die Undertaker is meer as drie meter lank en bevat 2 400 g slaptjips. Dit word bedien met ons spesiale sous, wat dit nog meer geur gee,” sê Joseph. Dit is sy liefde om vir mense kos te gee wat hom gedryf het om met die massiewe gatsbies te begin. “Ek was in die lugmag en het vyf jaar gelede afgetree. Omdat ek nog jonk van gees is, het ek gewonder waarin kon ek my pensioen belê. Ek en my vrou het eenkeer in ’n restaurant gesit en eet en toe die rekening kom, was dit astronomies. Die idee het by opgekom dat ek graag baie mense wou voed vir so min geld as moontlik. Die geleentheid om die eetplek oop te maak het hom voorgedoen

en het ek gespring,” sê Joseph. Hy het ’n groot liefde vir rofstoei en het besluit om sy eerste groot gatsby na The Great Khali te noem. “Hierdie een het groot aftrek gekry en ek kan op ’n naweek so 50 van hulle verkoop. Ons het redelik onlangs eers met die Undertaker (nog ’n rofstoeiheld van Joseph) begin en ek is seker hy sal ’n treffer wees sodra mense daarvan bewus word. Ses-

tien mense kan aan hom smul.” Waar kry hulle ’n broodrol wat meer as drie meter lank is? “Dit was nogal ’n soektog. Uiteindelik het ek ’n bakker gekry wat bereid was om vir my ’n vorm te maak om die broodrol in te bak. Ek is seker die Undertaker is die grootste gatsby in die Kaap, want ons personeel moet die klante help om dit in hul motors te laai,” spog Joseph.

Kos en klere ingesamel vir boere in Noord-Kaap Die WP Veteraan Trekker- en Enjinklub is tans besig om kos, klere en toiletbenodigdhede in te samel vir die boeregemeenskap in Loeriesfontein. “Die droogte het baie boere op hul knieë gedwing. Daar is bitter min kontantvloei en baie van die gesinne sukkel om basiese benodigdhede aan te koop. “Met die projek – ons tweede vir die jaar – wil ons die goedere insamel om die boervrouens, kinders en ook plaaswerkers by te staan,” sê Hannes Rheeder, klubvoorsitter. Die klub het verlede maand R10 000 kontant aan boere geskenk om diesel aan te koop. Goeie tweedehandse klere, nie-bederfbare voedsel en toiletbenodigdhede kan geskenk word.

Lockdown: The kids are not okay, parents say DESIRÉE RORKE @dezzierorke

ith the opening of schools extended to 14 February, the pandemic is taking a heavy toll on children. As parents may have mixed emotions about the impact of schools opening so late in the term, children show their anxiety by throwing tantrums and displaying anti-social behaviour and depression. A mother in Brackenfell tells of the impact lockdown regulations had on her nineyear-old daughter. “My daughter has always had a strong personality, so much so that I sometimes worried that she was overconfident. But with lockdown her personality started to change,” says the parent whose name is not published to protect the identity of the child. “When she had to go back to school last year, she did not want to and the things she said had me very worried. She started getting panic attacks and was referred to a psychologist who diagnosed her with social anxiety. She didn’t want to be around people at all and said things like ‘What does anything matter and why are we alive anyway?’ “Every day is different; some days better than others,” she says. The identity of all the parents TygerBurger spoke to will be protected. One such parent is very worried about her son. “He is generally a quiet child, but its getting worse. He misses his friends and routine. He is tired of playing computer games and bored with himself,” she says. Yet another parent spoke out about her

two children. “During hard lockdown my 11-year-old did not want to do anything and was paranoid about everything. Yesterday he told me, ‘Schools must open now, I cant handle this anymore’! His younger sister is very emotional as she misses her friends,” the mom says. Several other parents TygerBurger spoke to say their children have shown behavioural changes mostly due to the fact that they are bored and miss interaction with their friends, and are prone to temper tantrums. “My teenager ended up in the clinic last year and is currently on antidepression medication. She was on a waiting list to get into the clinic as there were so many cases,” one mom says. Dr Iqbal Karbanee, paediatrician at Cape Gate Mediclinic and CEO of Paed-IQ Babyline, says this behaviour may be a normal reaction under the current uncertainty. Karbanee says it is essential to prioritise the wellbeing of your child or children during this uncertain time. “We are seeing an increase in the number of children displaying unusual behaviour as a direct consequence of the circumstances brought on by the pandemic,” he says. These changes can be very subtle, and may be mistaken for bad behaviour, rather than seen in context, which if not addressed correctly, could have a long-term negative impact. Children under the age of three may be experiencing mood swings, nightmares, fidgeting or the sudden onset of bedwetting. “I’ve seen this in my own child, who suddenly started getting nightmares of getting

“My teenager ended up in the clinic last year.”

sick after eating food given to her by a stranger. “This anxiety was a direct result of learning at school that she should not share food or cutlery because it may make her sick,” explains Karbanee. He adds that children are having to unlearn many social norms, from “sharing is caring” to not sharing at all, given how the coronavirus is spread. This can create confusion. Young children that have not been going to crèche may become less confident in social settings and even refuse to interact with their peers. “Anxiety may turn usually sociable and playful children into clingy, tearful kids who instead of being happy to go to crèche, only want to sit on their mothers’ laps.” How to identify anxiety in children “Parents know their children. Every child has a baseline behaviour. If they do something that deviates from their normal baseline set of behaviours, then it may very well be that your child is being impacted by the uncertainty brought on by the pandemic,” explains Karbanee. Karbanee says it is also essential for parents to become aware of their own emotional states, as their own anxiety could spill over to the child. “For school-going children, it is best to deal with it cognitively through reasoning or explaining to them and talking to them about what is happening; both around them and their own emotional state of being. “For children who are in the process of developing their cognitive skills and cannot yet reason, it is best for the parents to be extra sensitive to their children’s needs,” he advises.

Delft police gives safety tips T

he Delft police have urged the community to help them do their jobs to the best of their ability. Capt John Bartlett, spokesperson of the Delft police, says if everyone in the community just does a little extra Delft can be a safer place. “Community members must take into account a few things that make service delivery swifter. Things that will help us do our duty as best we can,” says Bartlett. Bartlett gives the following safety tips: . Home owners are encouraged to place their house numbers in such a way that it is visible from the street. Police officials and other law enforcement agencies find it difficult to respond swiftly to complaints because they must search for the house number. The community is requested to assist in this regard by making sure that their

numbers are visible and clearly marked. . Parents and caregivers of children are urged to take full responsibility to ensure their children’s safety. . It is important to keep an open line of communication and trust between parents and children, children and caregivers and for parents to know their children’s friends. Parents must be observant as to identify abnormal behaviour in their children. . Tell your child never to approach a vehicle unless they are absolutely sure they know the occupants and that they have your permission to get into the car. Children must never accept gifts, a lift, sweets or money from strangers or talk to them. Even people known to the child can be a culprit in harming or killing your child. Children must always let you know where they are going.

. Children must be warned to avoid giving your home telephone number to strangers and to always play and walk in groups. They must never wander off as they will then be easy targets to would-be criminals. . Avoid lonely or deserted places and do not take short cuts through alleyways or deserted areas. . Do not hitch hike. . Teach your child not to open your house doors to anyone but to let an adult open the door. . They must be made aware that their body is private and that they have the right to say no if someone touches them in an inappropriate manner. Any information about illegal activities in the Delft policing precinct can be reported on 021 954 9011, 082 522 2036 or 08600 10 111.

Lowergroen tuin by skool aangelê BRENDEN RUITER

Werkers lê die tuin by die Hoërskool Excelsior aan.

@ruitervaniewind Wanneer die skool se hekke eersdaags oopgaan, sal leerders van die Hoërskool Excelsior in Belhar deur ’n lowergroen tuin verwelkom word. Volgens Werner Koenze, woordvoerder van die skool, het hulle onlangs ’n skenking ter waarde van R18 000 van ’n oudleerder ontvang. “Dominique L’Amour is die eienaar van die tuinboumaatskappy Enviromend. Op sy beurt het L’Amour ook plante vir die skool se tuin ontvang,” sê Koenze. Volgens Koenze sal L’Amour en sy span vir eers die tuin behartig. “Die idee is dat die leerders later self die tuin onder hande neem. Ten spyte van die donkerte wat hang oor ons gemeenskap, wil die skool kleur terugbring. Ons wil hê leerders

Police are looking for alleged killer The Mfuleni police are looking for a man wanted for two separate murders, attempted murder and other serious crimes. The 30-year-old Mandlenkosi Mgadi, also known as Mandla, from Wesbank, is wanted for killing 16-year-old Bronwyn Ligman at a house in Mangold Street, Wesbank, on 1 January around 19:45. According to WO November Filander, police spokesperson, the suspect is also wanted for the killing of 33-year-old Yanga Beyi at Covid City informal settlement near Green Park in Mfuleni. “The deceased and his girlfriend were inside a shack when the suspect fatally shot him and wounded his girlfriend. Mgadi should be considered armed and dangerous and could be in the areas of Kraaifontein or Mitchell’s Plain. He has visible marks on his face and is a member of the 28 K-9 gang,” says Filander. Anyone who knows the whereabouts of Mgadi can contact the investigating officer, Lt Col Michael Thebus, on 082 334 7486.

moet in ’n omgewing wees wat hulle stimuleer en wat verdere studie aanmoedig,” sê Koenze. Hy doen ’n beroep op gemeenskapslede om deel van die projek te raak.

“Enigeen wat by die projek betrokke wil raak, kan die skool kontak. Al is dit kundigheid wat jy wil bydra, dit sal tot voordeel van die skool wees,” sê hy. Kontak die skool by 021 952 5815.

GrandWest celebrates 20 years TARRYN-LEIGH SOLOMONS @tarryns07

t’s been just over 20 years since Sun International opened the doors of GrandWest Casino and Entertainment World. The official open day on 19 December 2000 saw 23 000 flock to the entertainment destination. The first jackpot was R15 000, and was won shortly after opening, followed soon thereafter by the luckiest punter of the morning who won a R10 000 jackpot and then another R12 000 during his first hour on the casino floor. In an effort to celebrate two decades of existence, a small birthday lunch was held on Friday 11 December. Prior to the Covid-19 lockdown, Grand-

GrandWest Casino and Entertainment World celebrated 20 years of existence on 19 December 2020. The doors officially opened on 19 December 2001. In an effort to celebrate the milestone, GrandWest hosted a small lunch on 11 December in line with Covid-19 regulations. PHOTOS: ALFONSO STOFFELS

West attracted 550 000 visitors a month and on show nights staff routinely dealt with up to 15 000 people passing through to visit the casino, to watch shows, or to visit restaurants and bars in the complex. A statement explained the construction process of GrandWest, “The initial construction required 3.6 million bricks to be laid which equates to 1 000 houses. Over 50km of cabling was installed and a daily average of 300 cubic metres of concrete was sunk, the same as 50 ready-mix trucks lined up behind each other, pouring 15 tons of concrete each day. “GrandWest also spent a further R38 million on road enhancement to complete the Vanguard Overpass Bridge and entrance to the complex. Substantial improvements, including safe pedestrian facilities, were made

to the intersections of Vanguard Drive with Viking Way, Voortrekker Road and Denneboom Road, and Viking Way and Showground Road. Over the course of the 20 years the property was further developed to add a 7 000-seater arena, an undercover parking garage and an exhibition space.” Under the current lockdown regulations, the R1.5b development is now restricted to only 50% of capacity. General manager Mervyn Naidoo said GrandWest remains – to this day – an icon of the entertainment landscape. “We have adapted to the ‘new normal’. We have strictly implemented all of the Covid-19 protocols and we have seen our trading levels improving month on month.” When President Cyril Ramaphosa announced the hard lockdown on 27 March last year GrandWest shut its doors for three

months. “We have been operating since reopening at the end of June last year. Guests have been incredibly supportive, and have responded well to our stringent health and safety protocols,” Naidoo told TygerBurger. In the case of staff members testing positive, Naidoo said the employee would be required to quarantine while tracking and tracing immediately gets underway. “Other staff members who came into contact with them might also be required to quarantine, or be monitored and tested depending on the level of interaction. A specialised cleaning team decontaminates areas.” Naidoo said business in general is muted given the 50% floor capacity. “The ban on serving alcohol and significantly reduced operating hours as a result of the curfew have also affected operations.”

EERSTERIVIER: OUERS SPOOR HOM AAN

Sportnuusleser inspireer jonges BRENDEN RUITER @ruitervaniewind As jy hard werk, is daar niks wat in jou pad staan om sukses te behaal nie. Só glo Percivale Young, sportnuusleser op eNuus en een van Eersterivier se voorste uitvoerprodukte. TygerBurger het met Young gesels oor sy drome, lewenslesse en sukses. 1. Jy is ’n sportnuusleser op televisie, dus ’n openbare figuur. Het jy as kind gedroom om eendag bekend te wees? Ek kan nie sê ek het gedroom om eendag bekend te wees nie, maar ek het wel gehoop om eendag ’n goeie werk te kry om vir myself te sorg. Ek moet ook bieg dat ek in ’n stadium ’n akteur in ’n aksiefliek wou word – en seker só bekend te word. Daardie droom het toe nie so lekker uitgewerk nie. Tog doen ek so twee of drie keer per week bietjie “toneelspel” as ek op die kassie verskyn. 2. Jy was eers ’n joernalis. Verduidelik hoe jy in die nuuswêreld beland het. Snaaks genoeg was die joernalistiek nooit een van my loopbaankeuses op skool nie. Totdat daar die een dag in standerd nege (deesdae graad 11) ’n driedaagse joernalistiekkursus by my hoërskool in Mitchells Plain aangebied is. My ouers het my in 1994 na die Senior Sekondêre Skool Princeton toe gestuur met die hoop dat ek ’n elektriese ingenieur sou word. Die nuuswêreld het my gebyt en ek het gevolglik ná my matriekjaar joernalistiek aan die Skiereilandse Technikon (deesdae Kaapse Skiereiland Universiteit van Tegnologie) gaan studeer. Oor die drie jaar het my nuuskierigheid vir stories en stories vertel nog verder gegroei. Nadat ek my nasionale diploma verwerf het, het ek vir ’n kort tydperk as ’n junior joernalis by Rapport in Kaapstad gewerk. Ek het kort daarna ’n geleentheid by die Kaapse Son gekry en as sportjoernalis begin werk. In 2009 het ek die geleentheid gekry om by die Engelse televisiekanaal eNews te gaan werk. Destyds kon ek nie ordentlik Engels praat nie, maar ek het die geleentheid met albei hande aangegryp. Ek was vir sewe jaar ’n sportjoernalis vir eNews en het ook vir vyf jaar as

Dit is ’n baie uitdagende beroep, want jy moet daagliks die dag se grootste sportnuus in minder as vyf minute saamvat en dit boonop op die mees kreatiewe manier aan die kyker weergee. Ek geniet dit baie. 4. Ons doen gereeld stories oor Eersterivier en jammerlik is dit gereeld negatief. Voel jy dat jy ’n voorbeeld is dat jou omgewing nie bepaal waar ’n mens in die lewe eindig nie? Wel, ek hoop regtig so. Ek is maar een van tientalle talentvolle produkte wat uit Eersterivier kom en steeds in die gemeenskap doenig is. Nes Eersterivier het elke gemeenskap maar sy uitdagings – werkloosheid, bendes, dwelms en oor die algemeen net hope maatskaplike probleme. Maar ek glo as daar ’n wil is om jouself te bemagtig en jy mense om jou het wat jou ook aanspoor, dan kan jy iets

positief van jouself maak. Maar om uit jou sogenaamde omstandighede te kom verg ook baie opofferings. So byvoorbeeld moes ek baiekeer my vriende in die steek laat as daar partytjies bygewoon is. Daar is ’n tyd vir lekker tye en dan is daar ook ’n tyd vir skouer aan die wiel sit. 5. Wie inspireer jou? Soos ek vroeër gesê het as jy mense om jou het wat jou ondersteun, dan kan jy jouself ook uit jou omstandighede kry. In my geval het ek ouers gehad wat baie, baie opofferings gemaak het om my deur die skool en basiese tersiêre opleiding te kry. Hulle het my vir ’n groot deel van my lewe aangespoor om hard te werk sodat ek eendag op my eie voete kan staan. En daarvoor sal ek hulle ewig dankbaar wees. My ouers het byvoorbeeld nie die voorregte gehad wat ek en my kinders vandag het nie; tog het hulle jare lank in ’n fabriek en vir die spoorweë gewerk om seker te maak ek en my twee susters kon ons skoolloopbaan voltooi. Ek kan nie onthou dat my ouers ooit gekla het oor hul omstandighede nie, maar hulle was altyd baie streng oor skool en daarvoor sal ek hulle ewig dankbaar wees. Selfs meer belangrik is die manier hoe my ouers hul lewens gelei het. Hulle was ’n voorbeeld vir ons as kinders. Ek hoop my lewenstyl gaan eendag ’n toonbeeld vir my eie kinders wees. 6. Watter boodskap het jy vir jong kinders van Eersterivier wat dalk sukkel om te glo dat hulle hul drome kan bereik? Ek verstaan heeltemal dat almal se omstandighede verskil. Baie jongmense in Eersterivier het dit dalk nie so maklik soos Percivale Young dit gehad het nie. Tog glo ek as daar ’n wil is om jou droom te bereik, dan kan jy dit doen. Vir sommige van ons beteken dit egter dat ons bietjie harder moet werk en meer opofferings moet maak. Baie mense het vir my gelag en mense lag nou nog vir my, maar ek kon nie toelaat dat dit in die pad van enige van my drome kom nie. Die mense wat nou nog vir my lag, lag deesdae met ’n glinster in hul oë, want as hulle my deesdae op die televisie sien, dan besef hulle daai man is van ons gemeenskap.

Cyclists reminded to stick to rules of the road Most cyclists have been yelled at or ill-treated by a driver at some point. “Cyclists don’t obey the rules of the road,” is one of the most common arguments drivers use to justify their behaviour. Sometimes justifiably so. “It doesn’t matter where or what you ride, please give respect to be respected,” said chair of the Pedal Power Association (PPA), Steve Hayward. Recently two cyclists collided with one another on the very popular Chapman’s Peak Drive owing to one of the cyclists losing control at high speed and causing the crash. The one cyclist rode away from the scene of the crash without even enquiring if the other rider was fine. The PPA receives regular complaints about cyclists’ behaviour on the road towards fellow riders and motorists. “We appeal to all cyclists to comply with all traffic laws and Covid-19 lockdown regulations. Let’s be courteous towards all road users and be part of the solution, not the pro-

blem,” Hayward said. Some useful tips for cyclists when sharing the road with other riders and drivers: Observe the latest level three lockdown regulations (as at time of print) for cycling: . Cyclists are able to continue training but not in groups; . Cycling is currently restricted to between the hours of 05:00 and 21:00 daily unless you are an essential worker and have a permit; . Masks are not required when exercising vigorously, but cyclists must keep a distance of 1.5m away from any other person. A mask needs to be worn at all other times; . Ride in single file and only pass other cyclists when it is safe to do so. Cycling two or more abreast in the road is illegal and is one of the practices that give motorists reason to be frustrated with cyclists; . When overtaking another cyclist do so on the right with an audible verbal warning. Other cyclists do not expect you to pass on

their left-hand side; . Cycle predictably and use hand signals so other road users know what your intentions are. Make life easy for drivers to predict what you’re going to do, and you will find it easier to stay safe; . Observe traffic signals, stop and yield signs and pedestrian crossings. If you want to be respected as a road user, you need to cycle responsibly; . When you reach a red traffic signal or stop sign, you should wait behind a cyclist who is already there. For some cyclists it seems to have become the norm to pass and stop in front of the rider ahead, even if it involves doing so in the middle of a pedestrian crossing or in the actual intersection well ahead of the traffic light. This is an incredibly offensive practice; . Don’t cycle against traffic. Riding in the opposite direction on the opposite side of the road is extremely dangerous; . It is illegal to cycle with headphones. The law only permits hearing aids to be in

Geen sport res van somer SAREL BURGER Die huidige viruspandemie het nóg ’n uitklophou geplant. Met versigtig gekose woorde het die WP Krieketunie (WPKU) so pas in ’n skrywe alle wedstryde en toernooie op amateur- en skoolvlak gedurende die res van die huidige somerseisoen “verbied”. Die verwagting is dat die ampsdraers van die ander vernaamste somersportsoorte spoedig soortgelyke aankondigings sal maak. Die skrale kans wat daar was dat amateur- en skolekrieketkompetisies vandeesmaand sou plaasvind, is die nekslag toegedien weens die tweede virusvlaag die afgelope weke. En terwyl gemeen is dat die somersportseisoen tot in Mei “gerek” sou kon word, is daar nou selfs sprake van ’n derde vlaag van die pandemie binnekort. Uit ’n praktiese oogpunt is die “ongelukkige” besluit van die WPKU heeltemal te verstane. Afgesien daarvan dat alle munisipale sportgeriewe en velde tans buite perke is, sal dit ook binne die volgende paar maande nie vir sportlui toeganklik wees nie, aangesien dieselfde terreine dalk deur die beoefenaars van die wintersportsoorte benut sal wil word. In so ’n geval sou dit onder meer meebring dat die krieketbaanblaaie nie na behore voorberei en behandel kon word met die oog op enige wedstryde nie. Ander faktore wat deur die WPKU aangevoer word ten opsigte van die kansellasie van enige voorgenome krieketwedstryde in die komende weke, is “ontwrigtings” as gevolg van die Paasnaweek en die maand van Ramadaan. Indien die pandemie onder beheer gekry kan word, sal dit beteken dat die amateur-somersportbeoefenaars nou eers teen September of selfs Oktober mekaar eers weer die stryd sal kan aansê.

your ear. Don’t hinder your ability to hear warnings and approaching dangers; . During events (which were still on hold at the time of print) riding in a group means you need to think about what other cyclists expect you to do. The perfect group will be a seamless body of movement and this is, in part, due to the awareness of the riders. The natural extension of this is holding your line. If you must take the hit and ride through that small pothole, do that. Just don’t flick the bike around and weave all over the place – nobody can predict that, and you’ll eventually cause a crash; . Don’t overlap wheels. This is like sitting in someone’s blind spot when driving. You know you’re there, but they might not. And if they move out slightly and touch wheels with you, one or both of you are coming down. The best places to be are behind, beside or in front of someone else, never overlapping wheels. Unless the group consists of experienced riders who know that you are riding half a wheel behind. “Let’s all cycle responsibly, respect and greet others, and make it enjoyable and safer for all cyclists and easier for the cycling community to grow,” Hayward concluded.
