‘PAPGESLAAN’: TUINIER ’N VERDAGTE

Bejaarde susters aangeval NIELEN DE KLERK @nielendk

T

wee susters is Saterdag gewelddadig in hul huis in Harrodstraat in Oak Glen aangeval – na bewering deur hul nuwe tuinier.

Die vroue is albei seniors en die oudste is 80 jaar oud. Die ouer suster het die ergste in die voorval deurgeloop en is “papgeslaan”, lui ’n inskrywing op sosiale media deur Bassett Alarms, ’n plaaslike sekerheidsmaatskappy.

Wonderbaarlik het ’n sameloop van omstandighede en die gemeenskap se samewerking meegebring dat die verdagtes kort ná die aanval vasgetrek is.

Coenie Lourens, een van die susters se nabye bure en ’n lid van die buurtwag, sê sy huishulp het hom net ná 09:00 laat weet twee mans het “verskriklik vinnig” in die straat afgehardloop.

Hy is dadelik buitentoe om hulle agterna te sit. Sy ander buurman, wat toevallig buite gestaan het, is ook agterna. En toe ’n kar in die straat afkom, het dié bestuurder ook begin soek.

Intussen het Bassett se lid, Johan Saayman, gereageer op die noodknoppie wat die susters gedruk het.

Saam het hulle die verdagtes gekry – selfs waar een in die bosse weggekruip het.

Hulle het gehoor waar die voor-

‘Blomme’ ‘Blomme’ tussen tussen die die groente groente

val gebeur het en is daarheen, waar hulle ook gesien het hoe erg die susters aangerand is.

“Toe ek haar sien, het ek trane in my oë gekry,” sê Lourens.

Die susters se buurvrou, wat die verdagtes oor hul muur sien spring het, het hulle geïdentifiseer.

Nooddienspersoneel en die polisie was kort daarna op die toneel, waarna die vroue na die hospitaal geneem is.

Al die gesteelde artikels – ’n skootrekenaar, twee selfone en juweliersware – is by die verdagtes gevind.

Lourens sê hy ken die susters al jare en die ouer een het onlangs ’n rugoperasie ondergaan.

“Sy het elke dag twee keer saam met haar fisioterapeut verby my huis gestap” en het hulle dan bietjie gesels.

Volgens Lourens en Jonathan Blankenberg, woordvoerder van die polisie in Bellville, was een van die aanvallers die susters se nuwe tuinier. Sy het juis onlangs gesê sy het ’n nuwe tuinier nodig. Dit is vermoedelik hoe hulle toegang tot die huis verkry het. ’n Bron na aan die ondersoek sê die ouer suster het onder meer gebreekte ribbes, ’n gebreekte kakebaan en haar brein is geswel.

Die jonger suster het, soos die ouer een, ook ’n gebreekte kakebeen.

Jacques Lightfoot, voorsitter van die buurtwag, sê dit is ’n jammerte dat die voorval gebeur het.

Merli de Wet (6), regs, en haar sussie, Zaan (4), van Durbanville het Saterdag saam met hul ma gaan kyk na die nuwe binnehof­tuin by die Rust-en-Vrede-kunsgalery in Durbanville. Dié galery-tuininisiatief het tydens inperking ontstaan en behels onder meer groentetuine in blombakke. Sien nog ’n foto op bladsy 2.

Verbeteringsdistrik in aksie NIELEN DE KLERK @nielendk

D

it is al byna drie maande dat Bostoninwoners gewoond moes raak aan hul nuwe normaal.

Een met ekstra heffings, maar wat ook meer sekerheid, verwydering van vullis en die algehele opheffing van die area te weeg bring.

Jean Beukman (51), wat aan die stuur staan van die Boston CID, is darem ná hierdie drie maande nog positief oor die toekoms. Vir hom bly sy motto dieselfde: “’n skoner en veiliger Boston.”

Die nederige Beukman, wat nie skroom om self in te spring en skoon te maak nie, is die enigste vaste personeellid van die Boston CID. Verder is daar twee sekerheidsvoertuie wat aan ADT gesubkontrakteer is.

Die res van die personeel wat mense op straat sien, is werkers van Mould Empower Serve (Mes) se “Grow”-program. Mes, wat met straatmense werk, bied deur dié program aan straatmense ’n geleentheid om te werk en weer trots in hulself te vind.

Dié spanne het al letterlik tonne vullis en onkruid uit die area verwyder. Die strate het ook merkbaar minder haweloses wat rondloop of by straatligte bedel.

Beukman, wat in Stellenridge bly, het voorheen vir vier jaar vir die Voortrekkerkorridorverbeteringsdistrik (VRCID) gewerk, waar hy sy tande geslyp het aan al wat ’n probleem kan wees.

Uitdagings In Boston, meen hy, is daar ’n klomp probleemareas wat hulle stuk-stuk takel.

“Die grootste uitdaging is die haweloses en mense wat rondloop in die nag,” sê hy.

Die haweloses self is nie die probleem nie, maar die kriminele wat tussen hulle skuil,

Hy maan inwoners om nie kos of geld aan haweloses te gee nie, omdat dit die hawelose nie uit hul situasie help nie, maar maak dat die betrokke persoon terugkom. Mes, met hul kantoor in Davisstraat, verkoop nagskuilingkaartjies en is beter toegerus om mense in die lang termyn te help.

Misdaad, netheid Misdaad het oor die afgelope drie maande baie in Boston afgeneem, maar Beukman sê dit kan ook wees omdat mense nie nou tydens die Covid-19-pandemie sake aanhangig wil maak nie.

Die afgelope week is verskeie verdagtes met die hulp van ’n parate sekerheidsdiens aangekeer.

Volgens Bassett Alarms se Facebook-blad is die volgende sukses behaal: . Op Saterdag omstreeks 14:50 het sekerheidsbeamptes ’n noodoproep ontvang om na ’n supermark in Blomtuin te gaan. Daar aangekom het die winkeleienaar ’n man uitgewys wat ’n kantoor aan die agterkant van die winkel wou binnedring. Bassett se sekerheidswag en die polisie het byna gelyktydig daar aangekom. Die polisie het die man vir ondervraging na die polisiekantoor

geneem. . Op Vrydag het beamptes ’n verdagte voertuig in Robert Sobukweweg opgemerk.

Hulle het die polisie in kennis gestel, wat binne minute op die toneel was. Die voertuig se insittendes is vir ondervraging na die polisiekantoor geneem, waar dit aan die lig gekom het dat hulle vir verskeie misdade gesoek word. . Op Woensdag omstreeks 17:50 is sekerheidsbeamptes ontbied na ’n huis in Raglanstraat waar ’n rooftog aan die gang was.

Bassett, asook die Stad se verkeersdepartement, het die verdagtes aangekeer. Die polisie is ontbied. Geen gesteelde goedere is by die verdagte gekry nie en die slagoffer wou nie ’n saak aanhangig maak nie.

Ma met baba sterf in supermark ESMÉ ERASMUS ’n Ma (31) van Vredekloof het verlede Woensdag (7 Oktober) in Pick n Pay Glengarry in Vredekloof ineengestort en gesterf, vermoedelik weens ’n bestaande harttoestand.

Die supermark was volgens inskrywings op Facebook bykans drie uur gesluit sodat die vrou se liggaam weggeneem kon word.

Die ma het haar vier maande oue baba by haar gehad, volgens kapt. Erica Crous, woordvoerder van die Brackenfell-polisie.

Volgens Crous is die polisie in kennis gestel en is die nooddienste ontbied, maar sy was reeds oorlede toe hulle by die winkel opdaag.

Crous het gesê die vrou het verlede Sondag nog haar 31ste verjaarsdag gevier, maar wou nie haar naam bekend maak nie.

Granny walks ‘around the world’ ESMÉ ERASMUS

A

n 81-year-old granny from Durbanville has walked almost three-quarters right around the world over the past 27 years.

Olga Bloomfield from D’Urbanvale started to walk at the Run/Walk for Life Club Welgemoed 27 years ago and joined the Run/Walk for Life Club Durbanville in September 2000. She has walked a total of 29 300 km up to now – 10 times the distance from Cape Town to Pretoria and back.

At first Bloomfield started to walk casually in the neighbourhood with a then neighbour in Welgemoed and after a while they decided to join the local Run/Walk for Life Club, where she also met her walking partner, Tineke Singels, with whom she is still walking today.

They eventually became friends with others and named themselves the Walkie Talkies, “because they could talk non-stop while walking”, Bloomfield explains.

Her walking friends had a trophy made for her titled “The Naughty Talkies” when she completed 28 000 km.

“We started with about 7 km to 8 km; we used to do fast walking,” she says.

Today she is walking between 11 and 12 km three times a week with Singels, especially after lockdown.

“Now we walk at a much slower pace. We talk so much that before we realise it we have covered 11 or 12 km,” she says.

“Just because you are old does not mean

you can’t walk. You can walk as far or as little as you like, as long as you walk,” she says.

According to Bloomfield despite her years, she has not been ill in more than 27 years. “I am so healthy, I am worried I will never die,” she laughs.

Even when she was diagnosed with colon cancer and had an operation about four years ago – the first robotic operation in the country – she recovers swiftly, she says.

According to Bloomfield it was not all about the exercise, but she made a lot of friends over the years – “in fact most of the friends I have, I have met through Run/ Walk for Life”, she says.

She is not the oldest at the club, of which the ages of members are between 31 and 85 years. The oldest members are Nelly-May

Trauma training offered to parents Training to be a competent caregiver is being presented from 12 to 14 November at the Santyger Building in Tyger Valley to parents and caregivers in general.

“Although we focus on trauma and how it affects children and their brains, this course is not only for parents with children from difficult backgrounds, but for parents of all children,” says Mark Wilkinson, co-founder of Pumpkin Ministries, who will be presenting the course with his wife, Louise, supported by Back2Back Ministries USA. Both are affiliate trainers in trauma competent care, while Louise is also a trust-based relational practitioner of The Christian University of Texas.

“There is such a need for parents to understand how trauma has affected them and their kids, even through this time of Covid-19 lockdown, but there are also thousands of children in the social system, who are so traumatised and then placed into homes or youth centres, where parents or caregivers are not equipped and have little understanding of the effects of trauma. They need tools and be equipped to parent differently with that in mind,” he says.

“This training assists parents to connect with their children and help them.

“Parents will understand the effects of trauma on children and will be given hands-on tools to handle and work

Muller (81) and Lionel Thompson (85).

Bloomfield plans to keep walking as long as she can. “I want to walk around the world,” she says.

She also takes part actively in neighbourhood watch patrolling in D’Urbanvale for the past seven years already. “Everyone must do their bit,” she believes.

She loves reading, especially thrillers and romance novels. Bloomfield is also a qualified ballet teacher, who has taught ballet in Durbanville for over 13 years.

She has two daughters, Deidré Putter (49) and Gillian Kay (52), and two grandsons.

V Walks are presented in groups on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 06:30, 07:00 and 07:45.

For more information about Run/Walk for Life Durbanville and how to join, contact Guy Brown on 084 627 1097.

through issues,” he says.

The three-day training will equip parents, teachers, child ministry workers and healthcare practitioners to be trauma competent and informed, and better understand the impact of trauma on children.

They will learn the meaning behind bad behaviour and know how to apply practical tools to parent, teach or treat such children.

The training is presented daily from 09:00 to 17:00 at 102 Santyger Building, Willie van Schoor Avenue, Bo-Oakdale, Tyger Valley.

Lunch and all materials will be provided. The cost of training is R2 000 per person.

Angels raise money in aid of breast cancer awareness RICHARD ROBERTS @richardjohn_rj October is the month in which breast cancer awareness is raised and emphasized by those who have suffered, but also lost a loved one as a result of the illness.

To show their support and to help raise awareness and money, a group of ladies have endeavoured to run a marathon, all be it a virtual one.

The marathon is in support of the Zonny’s Love Box Project, a project started by Kraaifontein resident, the late Zondelia LombardSwartz. Lombard-Swartz passed away on Sunday 8 September 2019 as a result of

breast cancer (“School loses a ‘family member’,” 11/09/’19). She was first diagnosed in 2013 and again in 2017.

The 47-year-old Lombard-Swartz, or Zonny as she was also known, was the principal of Kuils River Primary School at the time of her death – a position she held since January 2017.

Elwyn Hansby-Consul, Love Box champion and ambassador, says during the period Zonny suffered from cancer, she saw the need to source donations in the form of toiletries, beautifully packaged in pink boxes and bags for those who had to walk a similar path. These were distributed to breast cancer patients at the hospital, she says. The

A group of ladies will be running a virtual marathon this year in aid of breast cancer awareness month. The group also wishes to raise money through this marathon for Tygerberg Hospital’s breast cancer clinic.

At the back is Elwyn Hansby-Consul, Vera-Jane Adams and Zohra Parkar. Sitting in the middle is Gail Levitt and Natasha Whiteboyd and far right is René Brown-Rossouw.

boxes contain a face cloth, toothbrush and toothpaste, lip balm, roll-on, skin lotion and a pair of socks, to mention a few.

“We, friends and family, have vowed to carry on with this project in her memory.

So this year, we made plans to go ahead with the love box donations, and to have a driveby drop off at her parent’s home in BellvilleSouth on Saturday 24 October.

“We have identified Tygerberg and Paarl Hospital as the beneficiaries of the boxes,” says Hansby-Consul.

The initiative is supported by family and friends, as well as a few private individuals.

“We are blown away by the response to this initiative.”

Hansby-Consul also says she and a few of her friends will be undertaking a marathon to raise awareness and funds.

“On Sunday 18 October we will be participating in either the Sanlam Cape Town Virtual Marathon’s 21, 10, or five kilometre race and we are using this virtual race to raise the funds for the project.”

Leerders benadeel oor busdienste staak ESMÉ ERASMUS

T

alle omgekrapte ouers het verlede Dinsdagoggend in Fisantekraal betoog omdat hul kinders nie kan eksamen skryf nie weens ’n gebrek aan busdienste.

Busdienste met ’n kontrak met die WesKaapse Onderwysdepartement (WKOD) het voorverlede Vrydag 2 Oktober begin staak.

Dit is eers teen verlede Donderdag hervat, buiten in die Kaapse Wynlanddistrik, soos in die Paarl en Stellenbosch, waar die staking glo voortduur.

Volgens Elizabeth Maans, ’n ouer van Greenville in Fisantekraal, was haar kind een van talle wat nie kon gaan eksamen skryf by die Primêre Skool Blue Mountains nie, ’n plaasskool buite Durbanville, omdat

daar nie vervoer skool toe was nie.

Volgens Albert Baatjies, hoof van die Primêre Skool Blue Mountains, moes hulle die eksamenrooster aanpas om dié leerders tegemoet te kom.

Ook die leerders van die primêre skole Attie van Wyk en Klipheuwel is hierdeur geraak, het Maans aan TygerBurger gesê. TygerBurger kon nie antwoord kry by hierdie skole om dit te bevestig nie.

Ander plaasskole soos die primêre skole Vissershok en The Valley is nie hierdeur geraak nie, omdat hul leerders van die private busdiens van die Primêre Skool Alpha in Morningstar gebruik maak.

Volgens Priscilla August, skoolhoof van The Valley, ry leerders van Greenville en Fisantekraal op hul ouers se eie onkoste met

private vervoer. Die skole maak van die Primêre Skool Alpha se private busdiens gebruik om leerders van Du Noon aan te ry, het sy gesê.

Millicent Merton, woordvoerder van die Wes-Kaapse onderwysdepartement (WKOD), het aan TygerBurger bevestig ’n groot aantal van die vervoerkontrakteurs wat leerders vervoer en lid is van die South African National Small Bus Operators Council (Sansboc) se Wes-Kaaptak, het hul vervoerdienste weerhou.

Hierdie busdienste het kontrakte met die WKOD, het sy gesê.

“Verskeie skole waar leerders deur hierdie kontrakteurs vervoer moet word, word deur die weerhouding van die dienste geraak,” het sy gesê.

Volgens Merton is die kontrakteurs in die Kaapse Wynlanddistrik ontevrede oor die noodverkrygingsproses wat gebruik moes word om interimkontrakte so vinnig as moontlik in daardie distrik toe te ken.

“Kontrakteurs in die ander distrikte, soos in Durbanville, neem deel aan die weerhouding van dienste in simpatie met kontrakteurs in die Kaapse Wynlanddistrik.

“Baie min kontrakteurs in die Eden- en Sentraal-Karoo-distrik neem deel aan hierdie weerhouding van dienste,” het sy gesê.

Sy het gesê daar is slegs die nodige reëlings getref om matrikulante na eksamenlokale te vervoer, nie alle leerders nie.

Volgens Bronagh Hammond van die WKOD het die buskontrakteurs het op 30 September besluit om te staak.

Western Cape is ‘cannabis hub’ ESMÉ ERASMUS

T

he rise of the cannabis industry, specifically in the Western Cape, is positioning the province as a cannabis hub, said Beverley Schäfer, deputy speaker of the Western Cape Provincial Parliament.

She was the guest speaker at the opening of the CANNAFRICA CBD retail store at Willowbridge shopping centre last Wednesday evening. CANNAFRICA is the first CBD lifestyle brand on the JSE through its investment holding company, Labat Africa.

“The Western Cape is the 12th largest economy on the continent and Cape Town has the 17th largest economy in Africa. When we talk about being a hub in Africa, we are basing it on this very data – where the Western Cape, and even Cape Town, really rank as significant players in Africa,” she said.

“Over the past five years, the Western Cape has shown relatively strong performance in terms of average annual GDP growth, compared to other provinces and the national average. This is evidence of the economic resilience of the province,” Schäfer said.

“The role of agriculture in the Western Cape is pivotal to this industry. In 2018/2019 the Western Cape had the lowest rural unemployment rate in the country. Employment growth for agriculture saw an increase of 10.3% year-on-year. The rural unemployment rate saw a decline to 15.7% – a drop of 3.4% quarter-on-quarter,” she said.

“The Western Cape exports half of South Africa’s agricultural products and 40% of South Africa’s agri-processed products (food and beverages).

“More than a million bottles of South African wine are sold per day globally – coming almost exclusively from the Western Cape,” she said.

Schäfer said she believes this is an incredibly conductive environment from which to develop the field of medicinal cannabis.

“But we certainly also look forward to the opportunities that industrial hemp can bring. Our strong agro-processing and manufacturing capabilities will make the Western Cape a natural home for the manufacturing of hemp products once hemp gets going,” she said.

With their dad, Romeo Maasdorp, are Lameez (left) and Raisa with CBD infused drinks. They are from Belhar.

“The export team at Wesgro is currently using its global network to engage with key international markets. The team is already promoting South African and Western Cape cannabis, and developing export facilitation expertise in this complex area of international trade,” she said.

However, if the cannabis economy is to support economic recovery in this country, there is more work to be done.

“We need to address the grey areas and we need to move forward with commercial hemp. We need to provide the legal certainty that investors need, as within any sector of the economy. We need the national industrial strategy for cannabis to move forward and will have to see what the final version of the Cannabis for Private Purposes Act looks like,” she said.

Schäfer said, “If we are looking to cannabis to support economic recovery, we need to ensure that we are talking about inclusive economic recovery”.

“We need to make this industry work for as many South Africans as possible. There is a big danger of big pharmaceutical and established international multinationals co-

ming in and leaving little space for locals.

We need to strike a balance. There are currently also very high barriers to entry in the medicinal cannabis area created by the high cost of obtaining a licence,” she said.

According to Schäfer, outsourced or contract cultivation models would need to be explored and approved by the regulator to ensure small farmer inclusion.

“If small-scale growers could be accommodated under the private use allowance there could be a workable solution. There is a wealth of knowledge from generations of growing African landraces – this should be protected and incorporated.”

Schäfer said she believes the Western Cape has a role to play in driving the South African cannabis economy, “but by no means is this a Western Cape only story”.

“This is a story in which many regions in South Africa, and even Southern Africa, are able to play to their strengths. Together we can be a powerhouse.

“So my request here today is let’s do this right. Let’s spread the opportunity and build a SA Can cannabis powerhouse industry here,” she said.

Spanwerk maak ’n groot verskil CARINA ROUX

D

ie geheim van ’n suksesvolle projek is om saam met ander weldoeners in die gemeenskap te werk, glo Hester du To-

it.

Du Toit is aan die stuur van die Bottelarytransformasieprojek, wat begin is as ’n projek van die NG kerk Sonstraal in Durbanville en ’n samewerkingsooreenkoms het met Shiloh Synergy in Brackenfell, ’n nie-winsgewende organisasie wat onder meer voedingsnood op groot skaal teiken.

Bottelary-transformasie streef daarna om op verskeie gebiede ondersteuning te bied aan die landelike gemeenskap van die Bottelary-gebied, wat heelwat sosiaal-ekonomiese uitdagings het.

Verskeie rolspelers uit Durbanville, Brackenfell, Kuilsrivier en Stellenbosch is deesdae betrokke en Du Toit sê sy glo daaraan om hande te vat met ander organisasies.

Só het sy onlangs saamgespan met Sarlene Horne van die NG kerk Sonstraal, wat ’n uit-

Spekbome is by die Primêre Skool Bottelary geplant. daging van die Winelands Toastmasterklub, waarvan sy ’n lid is, aanvaar het om tydens die pandemie ’n verskil te maak.

Horne en ’n span vrywilligers van die kerk en die Toastmasters het sedert Maart reeds 200 spekbome en 10 vrugtebome gekweek.

Die Goodies for girls-groep se modelle is (agter van links) Charmaine Myburgh, Sonja Janson en Shane Myburgh. Middel: Alyssa van der Merwe, Kaitlin Whelan, Bianca Langedyk, Micia Smit, Dane van der Westhuizen, Le Roux Janson en Dirk Smit. Voor: Sarah Eichler.

Op Saterdag 3 Oktober is moue opgerol om ’n groot aantal van die spekbome en vrugtebome by die Primêre Skool Bottelary te plant. Modelle, in samewerking met die organisasie Goodies for Girls, het saam met van die skool se leerders hul vingers vuilgemaak en bome op die skoolterrein geplant.

Du Toit sê Goodies for Girls, ’n organisasie wat sanitêre doekies en ander toiletware versprei om te verseker dat meisies in die skool bly, loop ook al ’n lang pad saam met Bottelary-transformasie en verskaf gereeld toiletwarepakkies.

Du Toit sê die leerders het die boomplantdag baie geniet en sy glo dat hulle deur die spekboom-uitdaging ook nuwe insig gekry het in die mens se impak op die natuur.

“Spekbome absorbeer koolstofdioksied en verander dit in suurstof – makliker as enige ander plant – en kan tot 200 jaar leef.

Die plant het medisinale voordele en kan geëet word,” sê Du Toit.

“Die blare het ’n suur smakie en spekboom-blatjang maak ’n smaaklike bykos.”

Van die spekbome gaan ook geplant word op die stuk grond wat Pieter Bestbier van die plaas Goede Hoop beskikbaar gestel het aan

TygerBurger het onlangs hieroor berig (“Groenteplasie met ’n ‘vars visie’ help honger stuit”, 09/09) Bottelary-transformasie het ’n holistiese benadering en help buiten voeding met uiteenlopende behoeftes – van leesprojekte en die verspreiding van skryfbehoeftes tot hulp met ID-kaarte of klere. Daar is dus verskeie maniere om betrokke te raak.

GTP sponsors 25 pairs of spectacles As the focus turns to eyesight during the nationwide Eye Health Awareness month from 21 September to 18 October, those who suspect that their vision may be impaired have a chance to have their eyes tested for free, thanks to a partnership between the Greater Tygerberg Partnership (GTP), Brown Eye Care and the Sha’p Left Community Healthcare Hub in Bellville.

During that period, anyone can have their eyes tested for free at the Sha’p Left Community Healthcare Hub, located opposite the Bellville transport interchange in the Bellville city centre. In addition, the GTP has also pledged to provide free spectacles to the first 25 children (under 16) that take a test at the Sha’p Left Community Healthcare before 19 October.

That means you’ll have to act quick – as the last tests will be done on Sunday.

Sha’p Left is also offering a special for the month of October that includes two pairs of single vision glasses and an eye test for R990.

“It’s so important to have your eyes tested every year. Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness in the world, but with regular testing, it is possible to diagnose and treat this illness,” says Ntombi Zitha, Optometrist at the Sha’p Left Nursing Centre.

Bellville’s Sha’p Left Community Healthcare

Resident optometrist Ntombi Zitha performs an eye test on Jan Mashapa at the Bellville Sha’p Left Healthcare Hub.

Hub provides affordable, accessible, convenient healthcare to commuters and residents in Bellville. Launched in November 2019, the nursing hub is sponsored by the Cipla Foundation and was enabled by the City of Cape Town. . The Sha’p Left Community Healthcare Hub is open from 09:00 to 17:00 every week day and from 08:30 to 13:30 on Saturdays. In addition to eye tests and diagnostics, the centre also offers primary health care treatments, HIV, TB and other diagnostic tests.

It also includes a chronic medication dispensary, which offers a more efficient way for people with chronic diseases to collect their prescriptions.

Members of the public do not need to book their appointment but can call the clinic on 065 902 0963 if they would prefer to do so.

Skrywer ontbloot spioenasieproses NIELEN DE KLERK @nielendk

D

it is toe hy luister hoe joernaliste oor staatsveiligheid praat, dat hy vir die eerste keer regtig besef het hoe min mense weet oor dié aspek.

En dat daar meer inligting daar buite moet wees.

Fanie Cronje (63), van Sonstraalhoogte, het summier besluit om hierdie probleem op te los – met ’n roman.

Dié boek Plundering Ontbloot – Operasie Bakarhu is onlangs deur Naledi-uitgewers bekendgestel. Cronje het ook die afgelope Saterdag boeke by die Willowbridge-sentrum vir aanhangers geteken.

Dit is nie sy eerste kennismaking met die skryfproses nie. Inteendeel, hierdie is sy derde roman. Die eerste boek, Apartheid tot ’n reënboognasie het hy in 2016 self gepubliseer (“maar niemand het dit eintlik gekoop nie”) en Komplot tot staatskaping het in 2018 aanlyn verskyn.

Met sy jongste boek het hy egter met die hulp van Naledi-uitgewers sy skryfstyl aangepas om dit meer toeganklik te maak. Vir iemand wat lank intelligensieverslae geskryf het, was dit aanvanklik ’n groot aanpassing om dialoog in sy storie in te werk.

Cronje het van 1981 tot 1994 as navorser vir die Nasionale Intelligensiediens gewerk onder dr. Niël Barnard, voormalige hoof van die intelligensiediens.

Hy het op 37 in 1994 met ’n vervroegde pensioen afgetree en homself op ander besighede toegespits.

In Plundering Ontbloot maak die leser kennis met ene Runa Terblanche, ’n voormalige agent van die Nasionale Intelligensiediens, en hoe hy sy kennis inspan om booswigte te jag.

Hy sê die karakter is losweg op homself geskoei, maar ook glad nie.

Fanie Cronje Hierdie is ook ’n verhaal wat heeltemal anders is as Deon Meyer en Rudie van Rensburg se krimiverhale wat Suid-Afrikaners verslind. Cronje sou hierdie eerder met spioenasiefiksie soos dié van John le Carré vergelyk.

Daar is nie eintlik bestaande boeke in dié genre in Afrikaans nie, glo hy.

Die belangrikste ding wat hy op ’n boeiende manier wou oordra, is dat “intelligensie harde werk is wat harde mense doen.”

Daar is baie wanopvattings oor die magte wat die intelligensiedienslede het, wat hy hier probeer regstel. Hulle kan nie net summier iemand arresteer nie en dit is nie ’n beroep met baie glans nie.

“Hulle ry nie glamorous Porches nie. Dit gaan net oor inligting.

Hy wil die realiteit so getrou moontlik deurgee met fiksie tot sy beskikking.

Cronje is ook deesdae ’n omroeper by die internetradiostasie NetRadio, waar hy nie minder as vier programme aanbied nie: Saai (oor landbou), ’n program vir Nalediuitgewers oor skrywers, ’n sakeprogram en ook ’n “pittige allegaartjie” met meer intellektuele satire.

Hy is in 2015 met Roné getroud, nadat sy eerste vrou, Lynette, in 2013 aan kanker oorlede is. Sy kinders, Elmarie (39) en Duann (29), het ook drie sibbe ryker geword, met Marike (39), Léanel (35) en Corné (30) wat uit Roné se eerste huwelik gebore is.

Hy het al klaar aan sy volgende boek, Dwaalspoor, begin skryf, en hoop dit gaan ook binnekort op die rakke wees. Hier kyk hy weer na staatskaping uit ’n ander oogpunt uit.

SLICE OF LIFE

Loop maar lig as baba naam moet kry! ’n Mens wonder soms of ouers hoegenaamd dink aan die implikasies van die name wat hulle hul kinders gee.

Vat byvoorbeeld Jangotliebantonius, Beblasirena vir ’n meisie, Egipte Daoud Dean vir ’n seun, of Lubomir vir ’n seun óf ’n dogter. Die arme kinders gaan maar swaar dra aan daardie name, al het Willem Wikkelspies gesê “What’s in a name?”

Jamie Oliver, bekende Britse kok, resepteboekskrywer en Londense restauranteienaar, het sy twee dogters onderskeidelik Poppy Honey Rosie en Petal Bloss Rainbow genoem. Want hy kán.

Iets wat my nog altyd laat wonder het, is hoekom sou iemand hul seun Jan-Jan wou noem? Watter deel van J A N verstaan hulle nie sodat hulle dit moet herhaal in een naam? Wat dan van Piet-Piet of Bernard-Bernard? Dit sou tog skoon simpel wees, of hoe?

In party kulture hier te lande word mense genoem na iets wat eie is aan hulle, soos Ogies “ ‘My van,’ seg vir iemand wat skeel is of Hoppie hy, ‘my van is vir iemand wat mank loop. ’n Mens Chiwawa. sou kon sê dis En ek spel onvleiend en jy het simpatie met hulle, hom só. Nie maar so weet almal Chihuahua soos onmiddellik van gepraat word. die woordeboek wie Doopname en byname verskil sê nie.’ ” (gelukkig) soms hemelsbreed. So is daar die byname Kortgat Koekemoer en Langeraat Louw, en op die dorp weet almal wie húlle is! En niemand weet eens wat hul regte name is nie. Só ook Vleis Visagie en Swepie Swanepoel. Raai-raai waar kom dáái name vandaan?

In die laat jare negentig het ’n egpaar iewers in Afrika gemeen hulle is baie deftig en het toe hul pasgebore baba Oxford University Press genoem. I kid you not. Dit het later aanleiding gegee tot ’n hofsaak waarin beveel is dat die ouers ’n ander naam moes kies. Hopelik het hulle die baba toe nie Advanced Learner’s Dictionary genoem nie.

Vanmelewe trek ons na ons nuwe huis op die platteland en besluit dis dalk ’n goeie idee om twee waghonde aan te skaf.

Mure met hakiesdraad en elke meter ’n kamera was net nie ons styl nie.

So sit ons af na die naaste SPCA-tak in die stad. Daar word ons ontvang deur Comfort wat ons na die hokke neem om twee honde uit te kies vir aanneming.

Hy roep sy kollega, Innocent, nader om te help, want die twee Duitse herdershonde se energie ken geen perke nie. Hulle sleep ons aan hul halsbande na die grasperk, waar ons die een kwylsoen ná die ander kry. Twee pragtige diere.

Opgewonde oor die vooruitsig van ’n nuwe huis en oorvloedige liefde.

Nadat ons besluit het dís die twee wat by ons gesin gaan aansluit, is ons na die kantoor om die papierwerk te doen. Ons word voorgestel aan ene Patrick, wat na ons huis toe sal kom vir ’n inspeksie om seker te maak die erf is geskik vir die viervoetiges se behoeftes.

Op die afgesproke dag kom Patrick toe in sy bakkie daar aangesuiker om ons werf te bekyk. En voor ons hom inlaat, vra ons sy van. “My van,” seg hy, “my van is Chiwawa. En ek spel hom só. Nie Chihuahua soos die woordeboek sê nie.”

Toe mnr. Chiwawa sy draaie geloop en sy kyke gekyk het en in sy bakkie wegry, bars ons uit van die lag. Tot daai oomblik moes ons dit maar inhou, want sê nou hy het in sy eer gekrenk gevoel omdat ons sy van baie toepaslik, maar ook komies gevind het en ons afgekeur?

En tóg – sê nou óns van was Windvogel, Volmoer of Fruttelpapi, of selfs Kwak, en mnr. Chiwawa het dít komies gevind, dan was dit ook maar oukei. It takes all types to make the world go around. – Werner van Tonder

Bring back wildflowers It is with great interest that I read the article on long grass (“Long grass a pain”, TygerBurger 14 October).

Personally, I am of the exact opposite opinion expressed by the advocates of the grass cutting regime.

From a very young age, I have been passionate about gardening and a keen collector of plants. In all the years that I gardened, neatness was a buzzword, lawns were fed, cut and trimmed to within an inch of their lives and the flowerbeds were planned with meticulous attention to height, foliage texture and how they fitted into the colour wheel.

My garden was my pride and joy and won the Durbanville garden competition several times. Although I still love the exotic plants and visit those beautiful English gardens whenever I have the opportunity to visit my children in the UK, my ideas for gardening in Cape Town have experienced no less than an explosive revolution.

Three years of drought and dry boreholes had a lot to do with it!

It was only with considerable resistance on my part and many heated arguments that my son, Mark, persuaded me to consider a different approach.

As I started my research, I discovered that all over the world, designers are changing their ideas and currently they focus more and more on what environmentalists have been advocating for years. That is, “go wild and indigenous”.

From the High Line in New York and the green belts of Vancouver, to the road verges in the UK, rewilding open areas is becoming the accepted norm. The more I read, the more I became inspired.

Where better to try this idea than in my own garden!

Every year we travel eagerly to see the spring flowers

along the West coast, all the way to Springbok. With some small effort on our part we could have those same views on our pavements and in our parks. Tourists from all over the world come to see our wild flowers, so why are we rooting them out and destroying them in our urban parks and green belts?

How lucky are we to live in the Cape Floristic Region, a Unesco World Heritage site and one of the seven floral kingdoms of the world?

Although it is the smallest site, it is the richest in species and the most diverse.

There are over 9 000 species of plants around us, of which about 69% are endemic to the Cape and occur nowhere else in the world. Unfortunately 18% of the plants listed on the red data base of endangered species in South Africa occur only in Cape Town.

This is an alarming fact that needs to be addressed.

Should we leave it only to the authorities, or can each one of us do something about it in our own small way?

Many endangered plant species have been saved from extinction by keen gardeners who were collectors of plants and have jealously cherished and guarded them in their small urban gardens. In the light of this dire situation, should we not advocate that our green spaces in the city are dedicated to provide a sanctuary for indigenous plants, so precious to our environment?

We should encourage Council to take a hard look at how parks and green spaces can be managed to achieve the preservation of biodiversity in our green spaces, as well as using these same spaces for recreational use of the citizens of the city. It will certainly not be an easy task to convince citizens. If implemented, it will not please everybody either, but

is it not the right thing to do?

At the moment Council manages an expensive, outsourced cutting programme to satisfy people’s desire for neatness and managing weeds – in some cases even making use of broad leaf weed killers.

They work under huge public pressure and I am sure that decisions on this are made to accommodate those people who shout the loudest.

I firmly believe that one should not criticize unless you have a workable and positive alternative suggestion. I think we should bite the bullet and make the change.

I advocate that during the rainy season from April to the middle of November, only generous walking paths be cut in these green spaces, to enable dog walking and exercisers. The rest should be left wild. This will enable the seeds of wild flowers, bulbs and indigenous grasses to germinate, flower and set seeds for the following season.

Within a year or two of doing this, we should see our parks slowly recovering and change into areas typical of the Cape floral paradise that sustains a diverse bird and insect life.

During the dry summer period the areas can be cut, but to a height of no less than 20 cm, keeping the perennial plants alive.

The cuttings should be left in situ to drop their precious seeds and act as a mulch to preserve moisture. The birds will be very happy about the feast, but nature is wonderful - enough of the seedbank will survive to bloom the next year. If cut before the seeds are set, the first thing that will disappear forever, are the indigenous bulbs.

Those Cape Town citizens who care, should make their voices heard. Shall we take up the challenge and bring our wildflowers back into our urban green spaces?

Belangrikheid van sportorganisasie Oorwinnings in rugbywedstryde, krieketwedstryde en inderdaad suksesvolle mededinging in enige sportsoort word nie noodwendig óp die sportveld bewerkstellig nie.

Nee, dit is reeds op die oefenveld dat die aanvoorwerk vir die oorwinning gedoen word. Dit is in die beplanningskamer waar die besetting van die wennerspodium in die vooruitsig gestel word. Dit is in die raadskamer dat die strategieë met die oog op welslae beplan word.

Maar o wee! As daar gekyk word na die pandemonium waarin byvoorbeeld Suid-Afrika se krieket op nasionale vlak tans verkeer, dan is dit maar goed dat daar nie op die oomblik sprake van internasionale mededinging vir die Proteas is nie.

Sportgeesdriftiges sal ver moet gaan soek om ’n beter toonbeeld van onbeholpenheid, onbevoegdheid en selfs hopeloosheid te kry.

Dag ná dag moet krieketgeesdriftiges kennis neem van onmin in die geledere van die land se voorste ampsdraers.

Laasgenoemdes is in talle gevalle in daardie topposte nie soseer op grond van hul administratiewe bevoegdhede nie. Die gevolg is voortdurende afdankings, afleggings, bedankings en nie-openbaarmaking van verslae en ondersoeke.

Ter illustrasie: Enkele maande gelede is ene dr.

Eugenia Kula-Ameyaw uit die bloute as ’n raadslid by Krieket Suid-Afrika (KSA) betrek. Deur wie en op grond van watter bevoegdhede dit geskied het, is onduidelik.

Want hierdie vrou was nog nooit naby ’n krieketveld nie, sy het geen benul van krieketadministrasie nie en sy het by geleentheid al selfs erken dat sy nie veel ooghare het vir die spel nie.

Local businesswoman is top entrepreneur ESMÉ ERASMUS A local businesswoman demolished stereotypes in the construction industry when she walked away with the prestigious Standard Bank Top Woman Entrepreneur 2020 Award.

The 42-year-old Celeste Margo le Roux, chief executive officer and co-founder of React24, as well as now co-founder of React Training College – both with their head office in Parow Industria, was awarded at a virtual event on 1 and 2 October.

With 20 years of experience in the construction industry, le Roux has been offering all site services, built environment trades and disciplines under one roof.

The business story of React24 began around her kitchen table with two artisans, her partner David le Roux, a bakkie and a dream, according to her biography.

Now, 20 years later, le Roux and her team have launched React Training College, an artisanal school that uses a competency-based modular training system to make artisanal education easier and more affordable.

Her experience in the construction and built environment industry has taught le Roux that education and skills development are the keys to success.

It is her most sincere hope that through React Training College, tradesmen can master their craft, get certified for their existing skills, learn their way to earning a better income and become the masters of their own success.

Le Roux credits the success of React24 to transparency, credibility and integrity, but most of all her uniquely female empathic ability, which stems from her personal sto-

ry.

Originally from Retreat on the Cape Flats, le Roux’s father encouraged her from a young age to speak up for what she believed in with intent, yet without malice, according to her biography.

Her father passed away at only 43, followed shortly by her mother. This left le Roux at 22 as the sole caretaker of her teenage brother, Lester.

To support her brother, she worked two jobs almost round the clock until he found work in London.

In the meantime she got married to her husband and became a mother with their son, Adam.

When her brother moved back from London, le Roux insisted that he move back in with her family. At the extremely young age of 30, her Celeste Margo le brother died after suffering a severe stroke.

Le Roux attributes this traumatic experience to having made her fearless, tenacious and resilient.

“I am so extremely proud to be a part of these prestigious awards and the reality is that I could not achieve such success on my own,” says le Roux.

“I would like to express how profoundly grateful I am to my amazing team at React24.

Our success is because of their hard work, their daily excellence and their dedication to our purpose,” Le Roux says.

The mission of React24 to consistently de-

velop people through education and further skills development was formalised with the launch of the React Training College on 22 September, according to a media release.

The Standard Bank Top Woman Entrepreneur 2020 Award is the cherry on top of many awards received by le Roux this year.

She was awarded Woman-owned Contractor of the Year and Woman Mentor of the Year in the Empowerment and Recognition of Women in Construction Awards by the Construction Industry Development Board.

She has received the Western Cape Top Business Award and National Award for Top Business Performer in the Enterprise Development ProgramRoux me, presented by Property Point.

However, le Roux is not driven by accolades, status or style, but rather by finding a sustainable way to equip people with the skills they need to earn their way to a better life.

She knows that by upskilling South Africans she is doing her part in tapping into the huge untouched potential of Africa’s artisan labour market.

When she is not building a better South Africa one brick at a time, le Roux enjoys spending every second with her family – enjoying leisurely lunches, watching movies, and doing crafts with her son.

Tournament sparks learner interest in coding More than 400 learners from over 80 schools and NGOs across the country participated in a virtual coding tournament, held from 19 to 26 September.

The tournament used gamification to introduce them to basic coding concepts and

social issues such as ocean conservation.

Prof Jean Greyling, associate professor in computing sciences at Nelson Mandela University, said the Boats tournament was a partnership between the university’s department of computing science, legal technology company LexisNexis South Africa and the non-profitable organisation Leva Foundation, which empowers previously disadvantaged youth by providing employable skills development.

Boats is an educational coding app developed by a team from the Nelson Mandela University.

“During the tournament, learners logged in from home to access the Boats Android mobile coding app. They were taken through multiple choice questions that educated them about marine pollution and

Anke Hinze of Gene Louw Primary School in Durbanville took part in the competition.

South Africa’s cultural heritage,” Greyling says.

In addition to other incentives such as data and cash prizes, 24 schools each received a Tanks school kit, sponsored by LexisNexis. These kits introduce learners to coding concepts with the use of tangible tokens and image recognition, eliminating the need for a computer, Greyling explains.

Most of the schools will receive training early next year to roll out their own coding clubs at their schools.

Greyling says this was the third such tournament.

“We had a big number of learners who participated enthusiastically and we received positive feedback from teachers who said the learners really enjoyed doing something exciting in a year where they have had limited extra-curricular activities,” he says.

Mental health signs and support M

ental health disorders affect people from all walks of life. If you are concerned about a loved one who may be struggling with their mental health and in need of support, you are not alone.

While you may feel helpless or concerned, there are many ways to support a loved one’s recovery. Professor Liezl Koen, psychiatrist and head of the clinical team at Stikland Hospital, says it is important to educate your­self about an illness and the resources available to help a loved one.

“Acknowledge their distress or suffering, even if you don’t completely understand it.

Work with the treatment team and not against them, rather support them as they have your loved one’s best interest at heart, even when they sometimes don’t agree with you.

“Avoid being emotionally overinvolved or having unrealistic expectations, but don’t be afraid of setting appropriate limits and enforcing them for the good of the family or group,’’ says Koen.

The signs that someone needs mental health support might differ from person to person, but Koen says there are indicators to look out for.

“Changes in mental functioning affect

Koen advises you can help your loved one by ensuring they: . Get regular exercise: “Exercise can re­lease feel-good brain chemicals. Choose a programme or form of exercise that works for you and stick to it.” . Maintain a healthy diet: “Always include fruits, vegetables and fish or good fats in your diet, such as nuts, if possible.” . Get enough sleep: “Not getting enough sleep can impact your mental well-being.” . Use treatment if needed: “It’s important that you remain adherent to the treatment programme you and your healthcare provider have decided on.” . Embrace support: “Enhance your social support and don’t be afraid to reach out to family and friends for support.”

Koen says it is also critical to avoid using substances to self-medicate symptoms, as it can lead to symptoms worsening or the development of new symptoms.

FAW desperate for foster ‘parents’

Fisantekraal Animal Welfare is urgently looking for homes, foster or permanent, for six dogs.

“We do not have any kennels and most of our animals are kept in foster homes, except for six dogs, which are still at a shelter and looking for foster families,” Jenni Davies, spokesperson of FAW, says.

“Of course we need money – animal shelters are always in desperate need of funds, but sometimes a much more valuable resource than money is a team of ‘reliable volunteers’,” she says. “The beauty of adopting an animal from a foster home is that our animals are ‘test driven’ for a while. “If necessary, FAW can call upon its own animal behaviourist to iron out any issues that may have come to light, like assisting with house training or basic obedience,” she says.

“We don’t have kennels, so we don’t have an array of cages for you to walk through.

Nor do we have ‘petting’ or ‘walkie’ days for volunteers to attend,” she says.

“What we do have, is an amazing team of foster families who have stood up when it

mattered and opened their hearts and homes to a fur baby. We are always looking for more foster families, as it really is an invaluable resource for us,” she says.

Foster families need to be as committed to finding a permanent home for the animals as much as FAW does.

“Engaging photos, and regular feedback all assist us with social media advertising.

We are extremely careful about who we ultimately allow to adopt our animals, because they deserve the best that life can offer and because we want them to fit in with your home, we always carry out home checks on potential foster and forever homes,” she says.

“Although it may sound strange to pay R600 for a ‘homeless’ dog, you’re actually getting a lot for your money. Aside from having a wonderful furry friend, your dog is sterilised, fully vaccinated and dewormed up to date of adoption, microchipped and checked by a veterinarian,” she says.

V Anyone who wants to be a foster family, must contact FAW on WhatsApp 078 892 7892 or adoptions@faw.za.org.

Marley, a five-year-old male mixed-breed dog, is active, playful and loves hiking. He is currently in foster care, and is being trained. He gets on with most other dogs and will be fine with children over eight years due to his boisterous nature, but doesn’t like cats.

Jimmy, a five-year-old, has a gentle, obedient nature and a yearning to please his humans.

He loves people of all ages and likes other dogs. He grew up around children and is a lovely low-maintenance dog, which doesn’t need loads of exercise or grooming – just love and comfort.

Baxter opens with première The first live stage performance at the Baxter Theatre in Level 1 of lockdown is the world première of The Outlaw Muckridge with a run of two weeks from Tuesday 13 until Saturday 24 October.

Renowned radio broadcaster and actor John Maytham teams up with director Alan Committie and writer Louis Viljoen in a story ‘‘inspired by the lockdown, but not about the lockdown’’.

Viljoen says, “Instead of using the pandemic as a plot point, we decided that the emotional cost of isolation and loneliness would drive the story and from there the play was born. My promise to John was to bring him madness and horror; the humour and pathos were natural side-effects of that promise.”

The story deals with a lonely, damaged man who has been taking care of his ailing mother for most of his life. In be­tween bouts of depression and flashbacks to a life filled with emotional abuse and failures, he wishes himself to be a vengeful cowboy out to right the wrongs of the world. What or who he is avenging is not clear, but during one long night of the soul, the man realises that his greatest villain might be himself.

“I am delighted to be back in another solo performance in this mad Covid world,” says Maytham, who left full-time

acting in 1990 for a career in radio journalism.

Director Alan Committie says he is thrilled to be working with two good friends ‘‘who also happen to be wonderfully brilliant in their respective fields. I remember seeing John being brilliant in the David Hare solo show Via Dolorosa many years ago and to now have an opportunity to work with him on this marvellously dark and thought-provoking text is both challenging and exhilarating.’’

Viljoen is known for his sharp and stinging work. This is his first new play following the success of The Hucksters which was staged in January.

All performances will be limited to fifty percent capacity, with Covid-19 protocols in place. These include the availability of hand sanitisers, tracking and tracing recorded, wearing of masks and physical distancing.

Patrons and audience members are advised to arrive at least an hour before the start of the performance to avoid delays.

The performance runs at just under an hour, with no interval and has an age re­striction of 18 years. Shows start at 19:00 at the Baxter Golden Arrow Studio.

V Tickets cost R100 to R120. Available online at www.webtickets.co.za or call 086 111 0005.

Public encouraged to enter talent search The public is invited to enter the Fight to Fame Talent Search presented by Bricks TV. The closing date for entries is 15 November 2020.

The show is hosted by Edgemead resident and programme manager of Bricks TV, Steven Taylor.

“We are looking for a TV presenter, DJs and musicians to submit their entries. We have so much great talent in South Africa and we want to give them a platform,” Taylor says.

Next phase of Le Parc estate released L

e Parc residential estate in Paarl has already set the benchmark for fine family living and is now moving into its fourth phase, which was recently released to market.

This lifestyle development reinforces its sense of charm.

The first three phases are 92% sold out. The next phase at Le Parc residential estate in Paarl reinforces its sense of charm while the first two are already complete and the third under construction.

Close to 150 residents have already made this impressive estate their home and according to development specialist Martin van Rooyen purchasers who have bought in Le Parc to date predominantly represent localised family buyers, those seeking to semigrate from Gauteng to the Cape and investors who recognise the underlying value of gated estates and acquiring buy-to-let properties.

Situated on the cusp of the famous winelands town, Le Parc offers exceptional family living and the ultimate park-like environment.

Featuring a subtle French flair both in the name and design, the es-

tate includes a breath-taking central parkland dubbed Le Grande Park as well as smaller pockets of green space to reflect a rural lifestyle.

The first phase of Le Grande Park is currently under construction and set for completion by March 2021.

The round-the-clock manned and monitored security, a planned on-site crèche and nursery school, 4km running and cycling route, orchards and vineyards further emphasise an unparalleled country life­style.

The estate has a sterling combination of contemporary turnkey homes, innovative architecture by Malherbe Rust Architects and indigenous landscaping inspired by the surrounding Drakenstein Mountains.

A selection of French-inspired home designs is available, accessibly priced from R2.195m to R3.395m with no transfer duties being payable.

Van Rooyen says the popularity of Le Parc residential estate can be attributed to it catering for families seeking to live in a secure environment with a range of distinct

life­style aspects.

“Current buyers want a high degree of luxury in their homes as standard and currently, there are no residential estates in the greater Paarl region with similar features and benefits in this price bracket,” he adds.

Upon completion, the estate will consist of about 500 residential properties, which include 2, 3 and 4-bed­roomed single, freestanding homes and sectional title opportunities.

Each home is well appointed and practical and includes modern appliances such as large freestanding ovens by Smeg, engineered stone countertops, vinyl flooring, beautiful bathrooms with large format tiles and Hansgrohe sanitary ware.

A choice of two interior fini­shing moods, Modern Contemporary and Modern French, have been developed by Niche Bespoke Interiors.

Both interior moods present predetermined colours and styles for home interiors and exteriors that deliver a harmonious estate aesthetic, as well as a clean and sophisticated interior style.

Le Parc residential estate’s home

Close to 150 residents have already made Le Parc residential estate their home. elements enable each unit to be both luxurious and practical, and the installation of a grey water sys­tem allows residents to preserve precious resources in partnership with the estate’s water management measures.

A fully furnished showhouse is available for viewing.

“Our team of development specialists is available via phone call, email, WhatsApp or Zoom to assist buyers in finding their new home

as well as to book a private viewing, during which full safety and sanitisation precautions regarding Covid-19 will be in place.”

Potential purchasers and other interested parties can have a look at the units on the virtual showhouse.

KILLARNEY: RACING FOR NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP GLORY

Karting showdown T

he Rotax Max South African Challenge national karting championship will come to a thrilling head at the Killarney Kart Track on Saturday 17 October.

Three drivers have already been crowned, but the other four classes will all race for national championship glory, as well as the honour of representing South Africa in January’s Rotax Max World Grand finals in Portugal.

Local lad Sebastian Boyd leads a supertight three-way premier class direct drive gearbox DD2 title dice to Killarney.

KwaZulu-Natal driver Robert Whiting and multiple DD2 champion Bradley Liebenberg from Gauteng are right in there too.

Behind them, Jamie Smith, Nicolas Spanoyannis and Niko Zafiris are within striking distance.

And they have Jason Coetzee, Divan Braak and a wildcard or two in close attendance too.

Pretoria man Nicholas Verheul is already the 2020 o.30 SA Rotax DD2 Masters champion and Jonathan Pieterse has secured second there. But Eugene Brittz in third has Alistair Mingay, Tinahe Ncube, Marouan

Selmi, Pascal Acquaah and Eric Marzoppi on his case.

That should still deliver an interesting race as the others have a score to settle with Verheul.

Open-age chain-drive Senior Max is however wide open. Cape locals Tate Bishop and SA champion Charl Visser are separated by two points.

Don’t ignore Jozi kid Aqil Alibhai here – he does not drop points in the Cape after only stepping up from Junior after round 1.

Jozi kid Muhammad Wally is already the 2020 South African high school u.15 Junior Max champion, following a faultless eightwin rout in the opening rounds.

Each SA National Rotax Max Challenge class will race four heats at Killarney on Saturday.

It’s a big weekend – not only will the 2020 champions be crowned, but each earns a ticket to represent South Africa at the Rotax Max World Finals in Portugal in January.

No spectators will be allowed at Killarney, but the races will be live streamed.

V Log on to www.kart.co.za for the feed all day Saturday 17 October.

The DD2 category.
