2016: DANIËL AND FRIENDS HOST PARTY
Families celebrate gift of life DESIRÉE RORKE @dezzierorke

he Giraffe House Wildlife Awareness Centre in Muldersvlei set the scene for festivities when 46 families – all parents of special needs children – celebrated the gift of life at Daniël and Friends Fund’s third annual Christmas party. This non-profit organisation was formed three years ago by three mothers of special needs children, of whom two passed away in 2013. Their vision was to create a platform for a stronger, more intimate special needs community, and in doing so providing personal support to parents and children. The atmosphere was thus filled with companionship and intimacy. “It was in fact no different to that of a small, close-knit family gathering,” says Nicky de Beer, a director of the organisation, about the event. An emotional highlight of the morning was the traditional lighting of candles in memoriam of the children who had passed away during the year. “The group reflected on
the past year with unrestrained emotion when remembering these children, who had earned their angels’ wings.” Some moms and dads who, during the course of the year, stood out in their own unique way, were recognised with special awards. Then it was time for the children to enjoy a visit from Santa Claus. De Beer says the organisation had enjoyed its most rewarding and fulfilling year yet. “With almost 90 registered families now, the fund was able to provide various elements of support to several children by way of donating equipment, sponsoring intervention therapy and providing assistance for day-today needs.” Much was accomplished in 2016. “The fund helped facilitate the Painting It Forward 2016 project at Karl Bremer Hospital’s paediatric unit in September this year, and was once again able to contribute to Sive Nathi Licenced Home in Blackheath with their Santa Shoebox Project earlier this month,” she adds.

FROM PAGE 1 Relying purely on the generosity of the public to sustain the fund, finances were sourced through various events held during the year. Co-director Kate Laurie says the 2017 lineup already boasts a Starry Night themed dance in February, a Ladies’ Tea in May and the second annual Touching the Heart gala evening in June, which this year welcomed guests like Emo Adams and his wife, Michelle Gildenhuys Adams, Dr Darren Green and Olympic swimmer Ryk Neethling. “This year also saw the introduction of the fund’s Different Is Cool awareness campaign, which is an age appropriate pro-
gramme presented to schools to help raise awareness for children with disabilities and the challenges they and their families face,” Laurie says. The campaign was launched in September with the unique Different Is Cool fashion show, a fundraising event which gave the “differently-abled” children an opportunity to strut their stuff on the runway.

erskeie wetstoepassingsagentskappe het onlangs hul gebeurlikheidsplanne vir die feestyd by die vervoerbeheersentrum in Goodwood bekendgestel. Die polisie, die metropolisie, die Stad Kaapstad se spesiale ondersoekeenheid en wetstoepassingseenheid, die brandweer en rampbestuur-afdeling, het almal aangekondig hoe hulle as deel van ’n geïntegreerde mag aan hul feesprogram gaan werk. J.P. Smith, burgemeesterskomiteelid vir veiligheid en sekuriteit, het by die aankondiging van die plan ’n beroep op inwoners van die Stad en die provinsie gedoen om verantwoordelikheid vir hul eie veiligheid te neem. “Ons kan soms nie die onnoselheid van mense glo nie. Die meeste goed gebeur net omdat mense onnosel is, veral waar drank betrokke is. Dit is moeilik om te glo dat ons steeds tot 50 dronk bestuurders in ’n woonbuurt aankeer!” het Smith gesê. Ian Schnetler, brandweerhoof, het ’n beroep op inwoners gedoen om nie na die brandweerstasie se direkte lyn te bel nie, maar eerder die noodnommer, 107, te skakel. “Wanneer jy na die stasie skakel, bestaan die moontlikheid dat daar niemand gaan wees nie. As jy na die noodnommer bel, kan ons dadelik in kennis gestel word waar die

Dan Plato, provinsiale parlementslid vir gemeenskapsveiligheid, het die samewerking tussen die agentskappe verwelkom.
“Nie een agentskap kan sonder die ander funksioneer nie en hoop om suksesvol te wees nie. Samewerking is belangrik om almal veilig te hou in dié tyd,” het hy gesê.

Diane eerste Kapenaar om dié titel in te palm DESIRÉE RORKE @dezzierorke
Diane Nel van Brackenfell is met groot opwinding verlede week gekroon as Mev. Mzantsi Afrika – die eerste Kapenaar om dié nasionale skoonheidstitel te wen sedert 2012. “Daarom was dit vir my ’n groot uitdaging – nie net om die Kaap te verteenwoordig nie, maar ook om die kroon huis toe te bring,” sê sy. Nel, wat ook in 2014 die Mev. Kaapstad-kroon gedra het, sê die liefdadigheidswerk wat gepaardgaan met die titel, is vir haar ’n passie. “Ons is tans besig om die Imfundo Educare-skool in Worcester te bou vir die kinders in dié informele nedersetting. Ons wil ten minste ook twee maaltye per dag aan die kinders verskaf. “Elke maand van Januarie af wil ek ’n spesiale projek aanpak om fondse in te samel vir die Imfundo-projek. Ek beoog om twee klaskamers te bou. Dit gaan nie maklik wees nie, maar met die gemeenskap se hulp

Seniors vier behoorlik fees

DESIRÉE RORKE @dezzierorke
O
p elke ander dag van die jaar gaan dit maar bitter saai met die minderbevoorregte bejaardes van Ruyterwacht, maar Donderdag was ’n uitsondering. Op dié dag het die sowat 300 bejaardes, almal lede van Ruyterwacht se senior sentrum, behoorlik fees gevier. Die kospotte het oorgeloop terwyl oumense lekker heup geswaai het op die ritme van Elvis Presley se musiek. Faux-koning van ruk en rol, James Marais van Kraaifontein, was so oortuigend in sy rol as Elvis-nabootser dat hy ten minste een lid van die verhoor gefop het. “Ek ken sy gesig, maar ek het sy naam vergeet!” het een jolige bejaarde vrou van diep in haar tagtigs beaam toe sy haar vreugde met TygerBurger gedeel het. Die Kerspartyjie is aangebied deur Solidariteit Helpende Hand (SHH) se Wes-Kaapse tak. “Bejaardes is ons groot passie. Daarom het ons voluit gegaan om hulle die beste moontlike Kerspartyjie te gee,” sê Wilinda Ford, streekorganiseerder van Helpende Hand. Volgens Ford voer die bejaardes in Ruyterwacht ’n sukkelbestaan. “Die nood is baie groot hier. Die bejaardes se enigste inkomste is hul regeringspensioen van R1 500 per maand en dis nie ongewoon vir drie of meer bejaardes om saam ’n kamer in ’n huis te deel net om te oorleef nie,” sê sy. Margaret Olivier van die senior sentrum beaam dat daar amper drie keer soveel behoeftiges is as wat die dienssentrum tans kan akkomodeer. “Twee keer ’n week, op Dinsdae en Donderdae, bied ons twee middagetes aan en op die ander drie dae bestuur ons ’n sopkombuis vir almal in die gemeenskap. “Ons bied ook gratis dienste soos bloeddruk en ander toetste aan,” sê sy. Die dienste word tans aangebied in die skoolsaal van Laerskool De Waveren, wat ook die sentrum se grootste uitdaging inhou. “Omdat ons die saal met die skool deel, moet ons elke Dinsdag en Donderdag al die tafels en stoele uitpak en weer terugpak. Die ou houtwerk-klaskamers word gebruik as kantore en waskamers,” sê sy. Synde ’n Badisa-program, word die dienssentrum deur die provinsiale regering befonds, maar dek die befondsing slegs 18% van hul begroting.

Bronwyn makes a difference

ronwyn Stassen from Kraaifontein is a beauty who cares – so much so, that she is using the last of her year’s savings to make a difference to lesser privileged children this Christmas. “Bronwyn has made up 25 Christmas boxes for children aged from one to 14 years and she handed the presents out to them on Sunday [18 December],” says her mom, Sandra. “The children are based at a little rural area just past Wallacedene in Kraaifontein. She has also arranged for ‘Santa Claus’ to be there and hand out the gifts to these wonderful children,” her mom says. Thirteen-year-old Bronwyn herself donned the red and white suit to spread some cheer among the children. “We would once again like to inform the community that girls like Bronwyn, who take part in beauty competitions, are not just about pretty faces, but actually really try very hard to make a difference in the lives of the less fortunate.” V What is your opinion on Bronwyn’s project?

I always enter for this and that and the other, and sent an SMS to try and win the cruise. I can’t believe I never even put my name in the SMS!” she laughs. Dot says for her the cruise is a double victory. “I will be turning 66 on 7 January,” meaning the trip is both a Christmas present and an early birthday present, she says. So, who will be accompanying her? “I immediately decided to take my friend Carol Olivier with me. She has been on a cruise before – I think with the Sinfonia – but that was a couple of years ago. “She is my daughter’s partner’s mom,” says Dot of Carol, who lives in Durbanville. Her daughter is Kathleen Scaglia and her partner is Michael Barker, and the couple live in Panorama. Dot says she wants Carol to go with her because Carol can do with a relaxing trip. “She just recently underwent medical treatment, even though she is a picture of health. She was my first choice.

Kersgeesglimlaggies volop ’n Bekende supermarkgroep en ’n entrepreneur van Durbanville het onlangs ’n bietjie Kersgees uitgedeel by die St. Joseph’s Home-tehuis vir kinders. “Ons het ’n inisiatief wat ons elke jaar aanpak om vir ons fantastiese Spar-handelaars te vra om ’n Kersgeskenk te skenk vir ’n seun of meisie en om die ouderdom aan te dui. Meeste bring sommer een vir elke geslag of ’n paar geskenke,” sê Charlene Mekel van SparWes-Kaap, wat dié projek bedryf. Dié geskenkies word ingesamel en dan by St. Joseph’s uitgedeel. “Dit is vir my elke jaar so ’n groot eer om tyd saam met hierdie kinders te spandeer en self die geskenkies te gaan uitdeel. Dit maak my hart so bly en warm, maar terselfdertyd ook hartseer om die kinders só te sien. Dit laat my opnuut besef hoe dankbaar ons moet wees en dat ’n mens die klein dingetjies in die lewe moet waardeer.” Neels Kleynhans van Durbanville, wat professioneel foto’s neem by NK Photography, staan gereeld sy tyd en dienste aan liefdadigheidsprojekte af. Hy het die pragtige meegaande beelde digitaal verewig vir TygerBurger. “Dis nogal erg om met die kinders om te gaan ... hartseer. Mense los hulle net daar en loop.

Kihara (11) pak projek aan vir meisies DESIRÉE RORKE @dezzierorke
Sy is net 11 jaar oud, maar het reeds ’n reuse-projek aangepak om geld in te samel om meisies in minderbevoorregte gebiede by te staan. As finalis in 2017 se Mej. Junior Suid-Afrika-kompetisie, het Kihara Visser van die Laerskool Brackenfell kragte saamgesnoer met Mimi, ’n maatskappy wat deur verskeie projekte vroue landswyd wil bemagtig. Mimi, wat in Swahili “ek is” beteken, verskaf bekostigbare higiëniese sanitêre produkte aan meisies om te verhoed dat hulle op skooldae tuisbly. Volgens ’n woordvoerder van Mimi bly sommige skoolgaande meisies tot 60 dae per jaar tuis, omdat hulle nie die produkte kan bekostig nie.
Vir elke R12 wat Kihara insamel, word een pakkie van dié produkte geskenk. “Ek mik daarna om 50 pakkies te verkoop, maar wil soveel meisies as moontlik met die projek help,” sê Kihara. Om fondse aan te vul, sal sy ook sogenaamde desk bags namens Mimi verkoop. “Die sakkie is baie oulik. Jou skoolboeke pas mooi daarin en dit vou ook oop sodat mense dit as ’n hardeblad kan gebruik om op te skryf,” sê sy. Die Mej. Junior Suid-Afrika-eindronde sal van 4 tot 8 April in Pretoria plaasvind. Om Kihara te ondersteun met die projek, of om ’n donasie te maak, kan haar voog, Mariska Visser, gekontak word by 079 587 2473.

OudKraaifonteiners deel hul herinneringe DESIRÉE RORKE @dezzierorke
V
erskeie bekende oud-Kraaifonteiners het verlede Saterdag herinneringe uit hul grootwordjare gedeel by die bekendstelling van Karen Cronjé-Carstens se Kraaifontein-Stories Boek 2. Dié herinneringe maak dan ook deel uit van die tweede boek in die reeks. Die geleentheid het by die Laerskool Simonsberg plaasgevind, die oudste skool in die dorp en alma mater vir honderde Kraaifonteiners. Die Afrikaanse skrywer Christine Barkhuizen le Roux het in 1968 “in Kraaifontein beland” toe haar pa as motorwerktuigkundige by die padkamp kom werk het. Dié provinsiale padkamp was gelëe waar Bloekombos vandag staan en is bewoon deur families wat vir die destydse departement van paaie gewerk het, en die land vol getrek het om nasionale paaie, insluitende die N1, te bou. Sy onthou haar grootwordjare en veral haar skooljare aan die Laerskool Simonsberg (destyds Laerskool Kraaifontein) met baie heimwee. “Ek was baie rebels as ’n kind en dit was eers toe my punte vir gedrag verbeter het vanaf ’n D tot ’n B+, dat ek tot ander insigte gekom het,” vertel sy. Barkhuizen le Roux vertel dat dié skool se leuse: “Deur volharding sal ons oorwin”, woorde is wat sy haar hele lewe lank saamgedra het. Haar eerste roman, Padmaker, is in 2010 deur Human & Rousseau gepubliseer en is deels geskoei op haar lewe as ’n sogenaamde “padkampkind”. Ook Johan Fourie, eienaar van die Kleine Libertas-teater in Stellenbosch, het in Kraaifontein grootgeword. Fourie en sy gesin het in 1960 uit die Karoo na Kraaifontein getrek. Sy pa sou die nuwe stasiemeester word en

City warns about ‘Christmas boxes’ The City of Cape Town has issued an alert over the solicitation of “Christmas box” collections from solid waste management staff. According to a statement by the City’s Mayco member for utility services, Ernest Sonnenberg, the City has a policy in place which prohibits staff from asking for these. He says while residents can give a voluntary donation, solicitation is prohibited. In addition he says residents should also be aware of scam artists posing as solid waste management staff. Sonnenberg says over the past few years they have received reports of residents being asked, sometimes aggressively, for “Christmas boxes” or donations. There have also been reports of threats by these people that refuse will not be collected if the demand for
a Christmas box is not met. “The City will not tolerate such behaviour from our staff and we have accordingly instructed all staff that soliciting for Christmas boxes and donations is prohibited. If residents believe that excellent service has been provided, they are of course at liberty to give a voluntary donation to staff as a gesture of thanks and goodwill, but under no circumstance should they be approached or solicited for money. City staff are appropriately remunerated.” If you experience any incidents of intimidation by City staff, report it by calling 0860 103 089 during office hours. Apart from the date, time and place, a vehicle registration number should be provided so the culprits can be identified.
Y Z A R C Willy Juul is gebore in Kraaifontein en is al amper 83 jaar oud. Hy het sy lewe lank hier gewoon.
sy ma het die stasiekafee bedryf. “Toe die trein hier stop, het ek gewonder waar is die ‘kraai’ en waar is die ‘fontein’? “Oral was net bome, bosse en grondpaaie. Die enigste teerpad was die Ou Paarlpad met net ’n paar geboue: die poskantoortjie, slaghuis, Wapnicks en die polisiekantoor,” vertel hy. “Ek het later baie kraaie gesien, maar nooit ’n fontein nie. Wat wel in oorvloed was, was die baie kleigate waar ons as kinders gereeld gaan swem het.” Fourie, wat later dosent in drama by die Universiteit Stellenbosch geword het, het sy vrou, die radiopersoonlikheid Nita Swanepoel, ook in Kraaifontein ontmoet. Ander plaaslike bekendes wat die geleentheid bygewoon het, was Monty Conradie, ’n oud-stadsklerk, asook Willie Juul, ’n oud-Springbok in duiwewedrenne, en G.J. Swanepoel, ’n oud-skoolhoof van die Hoërskool Eben Dönges. Karen Cronjé-Carstens het aangekondig dat die derde boek in die reeks van Kraaifontein-stories reeds in beplanning is, sowel as ’n amptelike geskiedenisboek wat sal handel oor die dorp Kraaifontein. “Ons biblioteekdienste het bevestig dat ons nie oor so ’n boek beskik nie, wat dit amper onmoontlik maak vir enigiemand om inligting oor die dorp na te slaan,” het sy gesê.

‘E. coli is responsible’ DESIRÉE RORKE @dezzierorke
I
t seems that E. coli bacteria, associated with gastro-intestinal symptoms, were responsible for numerous residents falling ill in the neighbourhood of St Michaels in Brackenfell three weeks ago. The City recently disclosed that E. coli was indeed found in Brackenfell drinking water, but denied that sewage was the source. The City also shrugged liability saying the supply of water does not constitute an undertaking to maintain a specific standard of water quality. “The sample taken from the domestic tap of the original complainant’s household contained high counts of total coliforms and Escherichia coli (E. coli),” the City’s Mayco member for health, Siyabulela Mamkeli, confirmed. “The pipe bursts in the St Michaels area necessitated flow reversals in the system and, as a result of these reversals, poor quality water from stagnant sections of the pipeline was drawn into the supply lines,” he said. Since this bacteria is mostly found in the intestines of people and animals, Mamkeli conceded that the presence of E. coli could point towards sewage contamination, but for the presence of sewage to be confirmed, ammonia should also be present in the samples at levels above 10mg/l. “In this case, ammonia levels were negligible, thus ruling out sewage contamination,” he stated. According to him the presence of E. coli could be attributed to other sources associated with microbial water quality in piped distribution systems other than the municipal water supply, such as contamination introduced into domestic plumbing and exposure of polypropylene pipes to sunlight. “Polypropylene pipes are not recommended for domestic use, as they tend to facilitate bacterial and algal regrowth, espe-
cially when exposed to sunlight,” he said. Mamkeli added that most E. coli are harmless and are actually an important part of a healthy human intestinal tract. “However, some E. coli are pathogenic, meaning they can cause illness. As such, the presence of E. coli does not necessarily guarantee that illness will follow.” After the initial pipe bursts during the last week of November, the City flushed the system and introduced additional chlorine. “A subsequent test of the complainant’s domestic water and at the field testing points showed significant reduction of total coliforms, which do not pose a risk, and no E. coli.” Dozens of people in St Michaels fell ill with diarrhoea-type symptoms directly after the pipe bursts, many of whom demanded from the City disclosure of the results found from the health department. “We want to know the results found from the health department. We need exact bacteria names or whatever it may be as well as the health risks associated with it,” one resident told TygerBurger after the City avoided her questions. Along with several other residents, they posed these questions to the City a few weeks ago but at the time of writing haven’t received any answer.” Another issue many other readers brought up was that of reparation. According to them they had to foot big medical bills of which the City should be held liable for. To this, Mamkela stated: “While the City has a Constitutional obligation to provide potable water and does so to the best of its ability, in terms of section 24 of the City’s Water Bylaw, the supply of water does not constitute an undertaking to maintain a specific standard of water quality.” Residents have been advised to approach the office of the City Ombudsman on the matter.

THINKING OUT LOUD
A ‘cheers’ to our readers and clients
Dearest readers As our offices close today (Wednesday 21 December) for an extended break, we reflect on the year that has been. There were so many stories that touched our hearts, angered us or caused us to want to throw in the proverbial towel because of its horrid nature – yes, not all of us who cover hard and horrible news are cynics yet. We keep believing in the good of people, even though they often prove us wrong. Then, as always, the stories of our animals in need or just being cute, our municipal matters, our common concerns over safety, the good (and not so good) job done by our police force and our pride in our children and our local heroes and neighbourhood watches, took centre stage in this year’s editions of TygerBurger. The newspaper saw a change in management and extension of its brand by two new editions. We also participated in a number and variety of community The 50 weeks events and shows and offered our until now readers the very of prizes in have simply best our competitions our flown by too through benefactors and quickly from other kind-hearted friends and clients. deadline to The 50 weeks until now have deadline ... simply flown by too quickly from deadline to deadline. There is one thing though, from between the good news and not-so-good news we’ve dealt with this past year, that towers above the rest: The support of you, our loyal readers and clients. Without your encouragement and critique, praise and complaint, or your ad bookings and special deal offerings, we would not have been able to steer the ship quite as smoothly as we have been able to, all things considered. We would not have been able to face the many challenges, such as distribution glitches, language debates and a few mishaps from the drukkersduiwel, as well as a decline in advertising revenue across all media, without your support. This has indeed been a good year for us at WP Media, if our readers’ and clients’ enthusiasm is anything to go by. As such, we look forward to keeping you informed of the news that matters most to you and yours, just as soon as the sun shines on 2017. May you be blessed abundantly and share in joy and prosperity this festive season and next year. Cheers from all of us, and see you on 11 January! – Editor

Gautengers moet ‘chill’ Vir jare moes ons Kapenaars by ons Gautengse vriende, familielede en kollegas hoor hoe “agter” ons hier is met als, aan die onderpunt van die salarisskaal en hoe stadig en eweneens “agterlik” ons bestuursvernuf is. Ja, Slaapstad noem hulle ons Moederstad spottend. En dié houding is nie net oor die WP beter rugbyspelers as die Blou Bulle het nie. Sedert so twee, drie jaar gelede merk ek egter op hoe al hoe meer van die GP-motors wat Desember-vakansies hierheen stroom, nog steeds in Februarie hier “met vakansie” is – in só ’n mate dat as jy by ’n verkeerslig stilhou, daar meer GP-motors voor jou staan as motors met plaaslike registrasienommers. Ek omarm die Gautengers wat uiteindelik besef het dat ons ou Kaapstad eintlik maar die bobaasstad is – aan die slaap of nie – en hulle hier kom vestig het. Ons is vriendelike, gulhartige mense hier in die Kaap. Kom deel in ons skatte; verlekker julle in ons puik stad waar daar darem nog bietjie meer water as skuld is; geniet ons spogpaaie sonder gate en lê op ons skoon strande. “Mô” en “Pô”, sit jul kinders in ons puik skole. Maar los tog net jul padvarkmaniere en ongeduld in Gauteng en chill! KAPENAAR Durbanville

Every now and then you see something that makes you realise just how caring humans can be.

Bokke is gekwes, maar sal opstaan Ek kry steeds sooibrand as ek dink aan die nagmerrie wat ons as Springbokondersteuners vanjaar beleef het. Gaviscon kon nie eers help nie. So ’n onbeholpe spul het ek lanklaas in my lewe gesien. Die talent is daar, dít is nie die kwessie. Maar daar is ’n totale gebrek aan ’n wedstrydplan, en die manne wat met sulke hangskouertjies op die veld loop, sê mos vir jou iets skort. My bloeddruk skiet sommer weer die hoogte in as ek dink hoe ons balbesit keer op keer in die verdediging se keelgat afskop, net om weer stukkend gehardloop te word. Soos hulle in Engels sê: the kick is only as good as the chase. Ons volg nie ons skoppe op nie! Die hanteerfoute steek my dwars in die krop, basics wat ons op laerskool geleer is. Ons almal maak foute, maar die vet weet daar is te veel van die dekselse goed. Die dae van stampkarrugby is verby. Kyk hoe mooi speel die All Blacks waar hulle in die spasies in speel met hande bo die têkkel. Maar nee, ons hardloop in die eerste beste ou voor ons vas. Die Springbok is gekwes. Maar dié Bok sal weer opstaan; dit is in ons natuur om nie te bly lê nie. We live

Elektrisiteit: Só word ons beroof Deesdae betaal ons verskriklik duur vir elektrisiteit. Toe ek onlangs navraag by Eskom (Bellville) gaan doen het oor die hoë tarief wat ek betaal vir elektrisiteit, was ek geskok om te hoor dat ek nie by Eskom of die Stad Kaapstad krag koop nie, maar by ’n privaat maatskappy met die naam van Citiq Prepaid. Eskom-tariewe is R1,17 per eenheid tot 600 eenhede. Meer as 600 eenhede kos R2,00 per eenheid. Ek het dadelik beswaar aangeteken by die Kaapse burgemeesterskantoor. Vinnige optrede van dié kantoor het my tarief verminder van R2,38 (eerste 200 eenhede en R2,51 bo 200 eenhede) tot R1,87 vir die eerste 600 eenhede. Vir my, ’n pensioenaris, is dít steeds erg, maar ’n groot verbetering. Met ’n besoek aan my 82-jarige suster wat in Bothasig Garden woon, ’n Communicare-kompleks vir meestal bejaardes, ontdek ek toe sy betaal R2,06 per eenheid aan ’n privaat maatskappy, Aktaris. Weet die breë publiek van hierdie vergrype? Ons betaal deur ons nek en hierdie gewetenlose mense kry magtiging om ons te melk. Wie sien om na die belange van die gewone mense? Kan elke slim wolf deesdae die arme mense net “wettig beroof?” JAMES DE WET Kuilsrivier
Hier ry bestuurders die heel slegste Ek het gedink bestuurders op die N1 ry sleg, maar Durbanweg vat die koek. G’n mens
kan op enige middag teen vyfuur by die N1 uitkom nie. Niemand word inkomkans gegee nie; busse wag vir ewig om weer in ’n baan te kom nadat pendelaars opgetel is en niemand wil wag soos die res van ons nie. Genugtig, almal wil kortpad vat om voor in die ry te kom. As almal dit doen, gaan daar groot stryery, of erger, padwoede ontstaan. Ek het nog nooit sulke selfsugtige bestuurders teëgekom nie ... nie eens op die N1 of N2 nie!

TygerBurger is the best newspaper! One of my first memories was when my mother sat me down and told me that the Titanic had sunk that week. I have since read countless newspapers and lived through events such as the Great War and its not-so-great sequel, the Second World War. I read the newspaper when the bomb was dropped, when bikinis caused a stir (well, it did!) and when man first walked on the moon. I’ve seen the language evolve from “hotsy-totsy” and “hipster”, to “groovy” and “getting jiggy”, and over all this time, I have learned two very important lessons: Firstly, it is vital to leave your keys and teeth in one spot so that you can always find it if you happen to be in a rush. Secondly, TygerBurger is the best newspaper in the history of time. Keep up the good work, or, as my greatgreat grandson would say: “Can the force be with you!” BIGGLES VAN JAARSVELD Durbanville

Battling the blaze is all in a day’s work MONIQUE DUVAL @monique_duval
W
hile many Capetonians are preparing for the festive season, firefighters across the city are gearing up for what many describe as “fire season”. In this week’s edition of Municipal Matters, TygerBurger chats to the City’s Mayco member for safety and security, JP Smith, as he shares some statistics. Smith says while there is an increase in the number of fires occurring during this time of year, the reasons vary. “There is an increase in substance abuse over the festive season which is unfortunately linked to more negligent behaviour, resulting in an increase in structural fires. Veld fires also increase as a result of unattended fires being left to burn, but also suspected incendiarism.” In December 2015 the City recorded 2 184 fire incidents. During this time, Smith says 550 dwellings were affected, leaving 1 905 people displaced. In January 2016, the City recorded 2 215 fires in which 1 035 dwellings were affected, leaving 3 782 people displaced. During the 2015/2016 festive season the City also recorded 21 fire-related deaths. In December 2015, 13 adults and one child died, while in January 2016 six adults and one child died. Smith says the top three main causes of these fires were negligence related to substance abuse, candles overturning and igniting bedding and heating or cooking devices that were left unattended or tipped over. He says while fires are widespread across the city, in recent years there has been a noticeable increase in fire incidents in the South Peninsula. “Any area is vulnerable to fire, particularly where precautionary measures that can be instituted are not adhered to. This includes not maintaining fire breaks, the construction of structures too close to one another, and also disregard for fire safety practices in the home – in spite of ongoing education and awareness campaigns by both the City’s Fire and Rescue Services and the City’s Disaster Risk Management Centre.” Smith highlights negligence as one of the main challenges faced by firefighters during the festive season. In addition, he says non-adherence to fire safety practices and weather-related challenges – as hot and windy conditions promote the spread of fires – and non-adherence to fire safety legislation are among some of the challenges officials face. Smith says there are between 210 and 250 firefighters on duty at the 30 fire stations per 24-hour period. “The City has an overall complement of 900 professional firefighters who can be called upon for major incidents. During the summer months, Fire and Rescue Services also employs 120 seasonal firefighters.” In the case of wildfires, he explains, Table Mountain National Parks have for instance contracted other firefighting resources, such as firefighting crews from Working on Fire. They also have assistance from the Volunteer Wildfire Services (VWS). He advises residents to use electrical appliances safely by switching off all appliances at night or when leaving the home, to not leave pots unattended on the stove and ensure that electrical connections are professionally installed and properly earthed with the correct circuit breakers installed. He also warns residents to not leave paraffin appliances unattended and to always have a bucket of sand nearby. “Water will not extinguish a paraffin fire and can make matters worse by spreading the flames. Paraffin fires can only be extinguished using sand or a fire extinguisher,” he says. Call the City’s Fire and Rescue Services by dialling 107 from a landline or 021 480 7700 from a cellphone before making any attempt to fight a fire yourself. V What is your opinion on this article?

Twee honde gered deur Samaritaan SALETTE CLOETE @salettecloete
Twee honde het aan groot ontberings en moontlik die dood ontkom toe hulle deur ’n barmhartige Samaritaan gered is. Mariechen du Toit van Loevenstein vertel haar hart bloei vir die twee honde: ’n pitbull-terriër en ’n kleinerige hondjie waarvan die ras onbekend is. Du Toit sê die twee lyk baie goed versorg, maar sy kon nie die eienaars deur sosiale media opspoor nie. Blykbaar het die tweetjies verdwaal en is in Suikerbossieweg in Blomtuin, Bellville gekry. Sy vertel dis waar ’n gawe man hulle gevind het en saam huis toe geneem het. “Hy het dit goed gedink om hulle na sy huis te neem vir die aand, waar hulle heerlik warm geslaap het.” Die honde het egter weer die pad gevat om verder na hul eienaars te gaan soek, want hul verlange kon blyk-
baar nie gekeer word nie, sê sy. Du Toit sê dié keer is hulle in Brackenfell deur ’n dominee langs die pad gesien en huis toe geneem. Hier kon hulle net oornag omdat die dominee honde van sy eie het, vertel Du Toit. Die twee het by die Tygerberg-dierehospitaal beland, waar Du Toit en haar vriende gaan smeek het om hulle terug te kry, anders kon hulle uitgesit word. “Hulle sou na die DBV geneem word, waar hulle net tien dae aangehou sou word voordat hulle uitgesit word. Die twee verdien dit nie.” Shaun Aylward, die gawe man wat hulle naby Blomtuin opgetel het, wil hulle graag aanneem. “Die twee is onafskeidbaar. Ek het by die huis gestop, en hulle onder ’n bos gekry waar hulle bo-op mekaar gelê het.” Hy sê hy sal hulle graag wil aanneem, maar wil net eers seker maak hul eienaars soek hulle nie. Intussen is die twee hondevriende by Lucky Lucy Foundation in Malmesbury. Kontak Du Toit by 076 297 9054 of Aylward by 082 560 9878.

Lifeguards have their hands full
T
he number of drownings and near-drownings that have already occurred this festive season is a serious cause for concern. According to a statement by the City of Cape Town, if the current statistics are anything to go by, the City’s lifeguards and their partners are going to have their hands full during this summer season – especially during the upcoming public holidays that are popular beach days. Already, lifeguards have prevented an asthmatic person from drowning at Strand Beach, saved three people at Mnandi Beach from drowning, and rescued a 15-year-old girl at Milnerton Beach. According to Ashley Bess, a senior beach lifeguard based at the Strand Beach, the upcoming long weekend, Day of Goodwill and New Year’s Day are the busiest and scariest times for lifeguards due to the large number of people who visit beaches. “After a drowning occurs, it is a very emotional time for the lifeguard community. I try to encourage my team not to give up on lifesaving after a tragedy has occurred,” Bess says. “It is important that they focus on the number of lives they have saved through their vigilance and also the countless numbers of people they have prevented from getting into trouble by being proactive.” The City has often stressed that safety at its beaches is a shared responsibility between the public and lifeguards. “Most incidents can be prevented if the public take note of basic tips to ensure the safety of their loved ones and themselves. “We also emphasise among our lifeguards that prevention is better than cure. It is important to anticipate trouble and prevent it, rather than react. We proactively direct people to the designated bathing area, keep a watchful eye out for people who may seem to be intoxicated before entering the water, and we encourage parents to keep a close eye on their children when they are in the water,” adds Bess.
City to reduce call centre hours The City’s call centre will reduce its operating hours over the festive season. However, this applies only to Option 1 on the number 0860 103 089. According to a statement, the 24-hour call centres, such as the water and electricity technical operations centres and the Public Emergency Communication Centre, will not be affected and will continue to operate as usual. The following hours will apply to Option 1 until 3 January: . Monday to Friday from 07:00 to 17:30. . On Saturday, Sunday and public holidays the call centre will be closed. Normal operating hours will resume from 4 January as follows: . Monday to Friday from 07:00 to 21:00. . Saturday from 08:00 to 14:00. . Sunday and public holidays from 09:00 to 13:00. Residents who wish to contact the City for accounts and general enquiries may use one of the following alternative methods: . eServices: www.capetown.gov.za . Twitter: @CityofCT . Facebook The all-hours telephone number to report water-related faults is 0860 103 089 (select Option 2). Alternatively, residents may send an SMS to 31373. “The City of Cape Town regrets any inconvenience caused and would like to wish all residents a safe and blessed festive season.”

Loads of ‘purrsonality’ at FAW
F
isantekraal Animal Welfare has gorgeous kittens and cats with loads of “purr-sonality” looking for forever homes. Jennifer Davies, spokesperson for the FAW, says the organisation has seen an increase in cat adoptions. “Many housing complexes and rentals don’t allow dogs, fewer people have large properties and more live in apartments, so cats become a good option,” she explains. “Cats also don’t need to be walked or taken to training classes, which appeals to busy people. They are generally ‘low maintenance’. The great thing about cats is that, although they’re independent, they’re also very loving, intelligent and affectionate.” Davies says there are thousands of homeless cats in South Africa. “Adopting a cat from an animal welfare is one of the best
chances you will ever have to make a real difference – in your life and theirs,” she urges. “Cats are subject to much abuse and neglect in South Africa. Some get used as bait in dog fighting rings or for muti, and there is even a belief in some areas that throwing boiling water on a cat gets rid of evil spirits,” she says. The FAW is always happy to assist by recommending a suitable feline friend and providing advice if needed. All cats adopted from FAW are prescreened for FeLV and FIV. They receive a vet check, a vaccination and deworming, and are sterilised and microchipped – all of which is included in the adoption fee. Adoptions are subject to a home check and an adoption fee. V Contact FAW at info@faw.za.org or on 084 519 0380 or 062 258 3547 for more information.
Gatsby is a large, confident and friendly male cat of around three years old. He really enjoys people’s company and is good with children.
FAW has several male and female kittens of around nine weeks old, including this playful ginger, Danny.
Two-year-old Melody is a small female with soulful eyes and a gentle, soft nature.

Is Joel ons volgende spoedvraat? AVRIL FILLIES
M
et Seabelo Senatla, die voorste driedrukker in die HSBC-Sewesreeks, wat na afloop van die Kaapstadse sewestoernooi hom by die Stormers vir die Superrugby-kompetisie gaan aansluit, is daar nou ’n “vakature” vir ’n spoedvraat om sy plek by die Blitsbokke in te neem. Een van twee spelers in die SA Akademiespan, wat aan die begin van Desember aan die Dubai-Sewes deelgeneem het, en dalk binnekort opgeroep kan word na die Blitsbokke, is Joel Booysen (21) van Belhar. Die ander een is Selwyn Davids, ook bekend as Appels, wat nie net soos Gio Aplon speel nie, maar ook die kenmerkende skrumpet dra. Joel is egter die speler wat dopgehou moet word. Hy het spoed, kan verdedig, het ’n oog vir ’n gaping en kan van albei voete aftrap – alles vaardighede wat Seabelo so gevaarlik maak en wat Joel dalk voor Selwyn ’n kans by die Blitsbokke sal gee.
Vanwaar is Joel? Maar wie is Joel en vanwaar is hy? “Die Dubai-toernooi was my vierde toernooi waaraan ek as lid van die Akademiespan deelgeneem het. Ek het my buiging verlede jaar gemaak, maar het aan die begin van die jaar tydens die twee toernooie in SuidAmerika eers tot my reg gekom. “Ek was die kamermaat van Tim Agaba, ook ’n Blitsbok, wat na afloop van die twee toernooie sy debuut vir die Blitsbokke in
Australië gemaak het. Eintlik is ons die voederspan vir die Blitsbokke. Ons deel dieselfde woonplek, geriewe en afrigtingsmetodes sodat ons maklik kan inpas indien ons by die Blitsbokke nodig is. Vir my beteken dit baie om skouers te skuur met spelers soos Seabelo, Cecil Afrika, Kyle Brown, Chris Dry en die ander, want ons leer baie by hulle. “Paul Delport en Marius Schoeman, die afrigters van die Akademiespan, is albei voormalige Blitsbokke, en weet wat van elke speler op elke toernooi verwag word, want hulle het self die paadjie gestap. “Eintlik is ek nogal verbaas oor my sukses as rugbyspeler, want ek het eers op hoërskool by Paul Roos Gimnasium begin rugby speel. Ek was by die Laerskool Boston in Bellville en het aan alle sporte deelgeneem, buiten rugby, omdat dit nie by die skool aangebied is nie. “Ek het by Boston geswem, tennis en sokker gespeel,” vertel Joel. Hy het aan al die WP se o.18-toernooie in 15’s en 7’s deelgeneem en het verlede jaar ná die Sewes-interprovinsiale toernooi besluit om hom liewer op 7’s toe te spits, want hy wil ook ’n Blitsbok wees. “My pa, Jerome, is my held en hy was op sy dag self ’n kranige rugbyspeler vir die destydse Tygerberg-rugbyunie. Ongelukkig het ek hom nie sien speel nie, maar ek hoor maar van al sy rugbymanewales by sy tydgenote. Die sportgene van die Booysens in die Tygerberg-streek is legio en ek glo my sportgene kom daarvandaan,” vertel hy laggend.
Hy wil nou eers fokus op sy rugbyloopbaan, want hy is nog jonk en ’n blink toekoms lê voor. “Ek sal intussen kort kursusse doen om my kwalifikasies te verbeter, maar wil oor twee jaar met my graad in sportbemarking of iets in ’n sportrigting begin. Jy as speler weet nooit hoe lank jou rugbyloopbaan is nie, en die kort kursusse sal my help om my passie vir my studies lewend te hou,” se hy.
Skakel oor 7’s toe Volgens hom het baie van die spelers in die Akademiespan voorheen 15’s gespeel en oorgeskakel na 7’s. “Ons almal wat die skuif gemaak het, vaar goed as jy dit in aanmerking neem dat jy verskillende vaardighede vir die twee kodes nodig het. Ons leer van die bestes in die wêreld met die Blitsbokke byderhand en ek glo ons sal ook hul spelpeil kan haal. Tydens afrigtingsessies word jy lekker deur die afrigters uitgeskel as jy iets nie reg doen nie, maar as die harde woorde klaar geval het, is dit oor en verby. Ek sien dit as aansporing en opbouende kritiek om my ’n beter speler te maak,” vertel Joel. Wanneer hy nie rugby eet, slaap of drink nie, kyk hy aksieflieks en is ’n groot aanhanger van Vin Diesel en wyle Paul Walker, van Fast&Furious-faam. Hy hoop om ander talentvolle spelers in Belhar te inspireer om hul drome na te jaag en nie struikelblokke in hul pad te laat staan om hul drome te verwesenlik nie.

To top that, there were ten students that earned double provincial colours for excelling in more than one category. Four students received national colours. They are Kehan Pretorius (Durbanville), Luandre Nel (Kenridge), Liam Dickson (Durbanville) and Ruan Louw (Table View).
Brackenfell verdedig titel in uitklopkrieket SAREL BURGER Die Hoërskool Brackenfell se eerste krieketspan sal as die kampioen in die Sammy Bloch/Durbell-Apteke-uitklopkrieketkompetisie vir o.19-spanne in die WPNoordelike Stadsgebiede-streekunie (WPNS) sy titel aanstaande maand teen 16 ander skole verdedig. Die volgende skole sal die Brakke na die
kroon probeer steek: HS Bellville, HTS Bellville, Belhar, Curro Durbanville, HS Durbanville, D.F. Malan, De Kuilen, Edgemead, Fairmont, Fairbairn, Milnerton, Parow, President, Stellenberg, The Settlers en HS Tygerberg. Ook in die WPNSuitklopkompetisies vir juniors sal daar aanstaande jaar ’n toename van o.15- sowel as o.14-spanne wees. Altesame 14 spanne sê mekaar die stryd aan in die PNA Cape
Gate-uitklop vir o.15’s, terwyl 13 spanne sake sal uitspook in die Manuel’s Busdiens-uitklop vir o.14-spanne. Inskrywings is ontvang van Durbanville, De Kuilen, Stellenberg, HS Tygerberg, Milnerton, President, HS Bellville, Edgemead, D.F. Malan, Fairmont, The Settlers, Brackenfell, Fairbairn en Curro Durbanville. Die verdedigende kampioene is Fairmont (o.15) en D.F. Malan (o.14).
Brounies reken af met Leeus Die Laerskool Bellville-Noord se Brounies het verlede naweek die span van die ondersteunersklub van die Hoërskool Bellville, die Leeuklub, behoorlik laat rondhardloop. Die Brounies, ’n informele volwasse krieketspan bestaande uit onnies, ouers en oudleerders, het die Leeuklub maklik geklop. Die Brounies het 233/9 in 30 boulbeurte aangeteken en het die Leeuklub vir 129 uitgeknikker. Vir die Brounies-span teken Wayne Kretschmer 75 lopies van 32 balle aan sonder om sy paaltjie te verloor. Jacques Bruwer (48*), Pierre-Henri Vermeulen (18) en Gary Drake (16) het hom goed ondersteun.
Morne Lotriet (4/20 in 3 boulbeurte), Viking Diener (2/5) en Jacques Viviers (1/3) het die beste geboul. Die enigste Leeu wat regtig lopies kon aanteken, was Stiaan Alberts – toevallig ’n oudBellville-Noorder is. Die Brounies se puik veldwerk het die druk van die begin af op die Leeus geplaas. Wayne Kretschmer sê die wedstryd is in ’n baie goeie gees gespeel en dat dit ’n heerlike gesinsdag was. Hy bedank ook die Hoërskool Bellville vir hul gasvryheid en dat die wedstryd op hul veld gespeel kon word, aangesien BellvilleNoord se veld te klein is.

The WP vs Boland practice match at the Durbanville Bowling Club on Sunday 12 December hosted 128 players – 64 men and 64 women. This is an annual event during which the selectors get a chance to see the players in action before finalising the teams for the prestigious inter-district tournament in Cape Town in March next year. This year an additional two sides have been added to both the women’s and men’s sections to assist with the selection of the inter-district teams. A total of nine players of the Durbanville Bowling Club were invited to attend this practice session. The women were Maggie van Zyl, Lydia Maritz, Margaret Thomas and Joy Normington, and the men Doug Wyatt, Jeffrey Claasen, Kevin Douglas, Adre Barnard and Richard Lang. Two Protea players are in action in the men’s section – Nic Rusling (WP) and Stephan De Jager (Boland) – as well as a masters winner, Rob Pickett. In the women’s section, Trish Young (WP) was unfortunately not available as she was overseas, representing South Africa in the World Singles Champion of Champions in Australia. Boland had two Protea players in action – Anneke Snyman and Ezile Fourie.

KARATE: WORLD JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIP IN BULGARIA
Georgi puts SA on the map STEHAN SCHOEMAN
I
t was ironic that Bulgarian born Georgi Krastev was the only South African on the winners’ podium at the recent Kyokushin World Union Open Youth World Championship held in Bulgaria earlier this month. The 17-year-old Fairmont High School learner came third in the open weight up to 17 years division. A total of 665 junior karateka from 32 countries competed. “I competed overseas once before and the standard was very high, to say the least, so I knew more or less what to expect. Those guys are strong and well built; you have to bring your A game. Being third best in the world in my division made all the long hard hours of training worth it – it inspired me to train even harder,” says Georgi. “Next year, when I turn 18, I will compete with the seniors. The plan is to work hard for the next four to five years and give it a go in the senior ranks. To jump from junior to senior level is worlds apart, but I look forward to the challenge. I proved to myself that I belong on that level.” Shihan Hennie Bosman, chairman of Africa Kyokushin-kan, says it was a remarkable achievement. “We are all very proud of Georgi. I have been involved in karate for more than 50 years and year by year the standard of karate at international tournaments gets better and better, little by little. This trophy means so much for all of us – especially our Welgemoed Kyokushin-kan dojo. Five of our members that also competed in Bulgaria decided amongst themselves to train during December. It is humbling to see their passion and commitment.
We worked extremely hard during the year, and we even summoned the help of nutritionist and medical personnel to ensure they perform at their peak. The Japanese are very impressed with us and they applauded us for getting more and more competitive on the international scene.” Assistant coach Sydney Veremu is all smiles after the tournament. “I am so happy to be a part of this. As coaches we can only do as much; the guys really committed and executed. Although Georgi was our only guy on the podium, I am still extremely proud of the rest of the team,” he says. Russia and Japan are arguably two of the best countries in the world with vastly different fighting styles. The Russians like to be in your face, with low kicks to the leg and hard punches to the body, and don’t give their opponents much room to move. The Japanese, on the other hand, have a extravagant approach with flying kicks to the head and spinning kicks to the body. “It was a treat for the boys to not only see these two nations in action but to also compete against them. I think our biggest downfall was inexperience. We are not making any excuses but the other countries have a few international tournaments a year, and for most of our team it was their first taste of international competition. They surely learned a lot. I think they are more determined to work hard and make the team again next year. What is also a big plus for next year, is that we have two top Japanese instructors who themselves are former champions and who agreed to come to Cape Town and conduct a very intensive training camp. We are all looking forward to next year and making a big success and grooming more champions,” says Bosman.
