Protest ‘political’DALEEN FOUCHÉ

TRAFFIC in the usuallyquiet town of Ashtonwas disrupted last

Wednesday (May 29) when pro-testers from Zolani blocked themain road in front of the muni-cipal building during a servicedelivery protest.

A wave of service deliveryprotests has hit the Boland inrecent weeks, including pro-tests in Worcester, De Doorns,Bot River and Grabouw.

Protestersarrivedat theAsh-

ton municipal offices at 10:00and left at 12:30 after handingover a list of grievances to theexecutivemayor,AldermanDi-ana Gagiano.

The list includesarequest fora high school, land for houses,a day hospital and job creation.

Simo Mketso, general secre-tary of the South African Na-tional Civic Orginisation(SANCO), who led the protest,read out the complaints to themayor and gave her 14 days torespond. Mketso said they ur-gently require a high school

and handed over a letter fromthe Western Cape Departmentof Education which states thatthe department is waiting forthe Langeberg Municipality toidentify land on which to builda school.

Mr Soyisile Mokweni, mu-nicipal manager, said howeverthat he has not received anycommunication from the de-partment regarding a requestfor land. He thanked the com-munityforbringingthismatterto his attention.

Mokweni told theGazette last

week that he believes the pro-test was politically motivated.He said the protesters had theirownagendaandweredrivenby“certain political parties”. Helabelled the protest an effort tointimidate the mayor.

He explained that the grie-vances do not fall within themunicipality’s mandate, butare rather the mandate of theprovincial government.

Mokweni believes this pro-test will have a “domino effect”with more protests likely to fol-low in other towns in the mu-

nicipal area. “It is part of astrategy to make the muni-cipality ungovernable.”

Mketso denies allegationsthat the aim of the protest wasto intimidate the mayor.

Hesays thatalthough thema-jority of protesters support theAfrican National Congress(ANC), andwouldliketoseetheANC in a position of power inthe Western Cape, the protestwas “to showthemayor thatweare not happy with service de-livery in the Langeberg re-gion”.

Animal abuse rife in LangebergDALEEN FOUCHÉ

FIVE badly neglected and malnou-rished dogs were confiscated bythe Winelands Society for the Pre-

vention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA)within the space of only two weeks. Thishas sparked concern and a new strategyby the Winelands SPCA.

A small dog was recently fished out ofa river by members of the communityand brought to the SPCA.

Ms Lesley Beviss-Challinor, investi-gator for the SPCA, says although thereis no proof, she suspects that the dog wasthrown into the river because of itsneglected condition. The rescuers of thedog have adopted him and named himLucky. “He has made a full recovery, buthis coat still needs to grow back.”

Anotherdogwasrescuedwiththehelpof the community after residents in-formed the SPCA of a neglected dog intheir neighbourhood in Robertson. Thefemaledog foundby theSPCAhada seri-

ous skin condition which had been leftuntreated. The dog was confiscated andthe owners were given a warning letter.

The whistle-blowers adopted the dogand named her Hope. Beviss-Challinorsays it will take a long time for Hope torecover from her skin disease.

Two more dogs were confiscated bythe SPCA, but were too badly neglectedand had to be eutha-nased. Beviss-Chal-linor says the ownersof these dogs were giv-en a warning by theSPCA and “will bemonitored”. She saysthat if these previous owners are foundinpossessionofananimal, theSPCAwillapproach the magistrate for a court or-der toprohibit themfromowninganani-mal. A fifth dog was confiscated lastweek. Beviss-Challinor says Simba hadbeenstarvedandneglectedandaddsthatthe owner is to be prosecuted. “DespiteSimba’s history, he is a gentle, sweet dog

andneedsa lovingnewhomefor therestof his life.”

Currently two people are doing com-munity work as punishment after beingfound guilty of cruelty to animals. Be-viss-Challinor says one of them is cur-rently doing 100 hours of communitywork over weekends at the WorcesterSPCA. “I think they are learning their

lesson.”Beviss-Challinor

says these incidentsare cause for concern.The SPCA embarks ona new strategy thisweek to help more ani-

mals with the help of volunteers. Previ-ously the SPCA would patrol areas, es-peciallytownships,withacar.Butstart-ing this week, volunteers will go fromhouse to house to inspect animals andenquire about abused animals. Beviss-Challinor reminds people that animalabuse is against the law and that trans-gressors will be prosecuted.

Simba was found malnourished.

Lucky has found a new, loving home.

Langeberg se klinieke,hospitaal kry nuwe gesig

DALEEN FOUCHÉ

DIE Robertson-hospitaal gaan oor dievolgende paar jaar opgegradeer wordom meer pasiënte te akkommodeer enmeer pasiëntgeoriënteerd te wees.

Twee klinieke in die Langeberg-areais reeds opgegradeer met geld wat diedepartement van openbare werke aandie Langebergstreek vir dié doel gegeehet.

Dr. Luise Lunnon, bestuurder vanmediese dienste in die Langeberg-sub-distrik, sê die departement het Lange-berg se mediese dienste geïdentifiseervir opgradering.

Die kliniek in Nkqubela is reeds op-gegradeer teen ’n koste van R157 000 envier nuwe vertrekke is tot die kliniekbygevoeg. Voorheen het dié besige kli-niek slegs een konsultasievertrek ge-had.Vandagspogdiekliniekmet ’nTB-toetskamer, ’n beradingskamer entwee konsultasiekamers.

Die McGregor-kliniek is opgegra-deer teen net minder as R1 miljoen. Dié

pragtige kliniek spog nou met nuwestoele in die wagkamer, ’n nuwe laagverf, lugversorging in die medisyneka-merenopgeknaptehoutbalke. Lunnonsê altwee klinieke lyk nou baie beteren het ’n groter kapasiteit om pasiëntegemaklik te behandel.

Bonnievale en Bergsig se klinieke isvolgende op die lys vir opgraderingswat in die volgende drie tot vier maan-de aangepak sal word.

Lunnon sê sy het besluit om eerdereen kliniek volledig te laat opgradeerin plaas daarvan om stuk-stuk aan aldie klinieke in die Langeberg te laatwerk.

Groot opgraderings word vir die Ro-bertson-hospitaal in die vooruitsig ge-stelwatoordievolgendedrie jaargeïm-plementeer gaan word. Lunnon sê diehospitaal gaan van ’n 46- na ’n 80-bed-hospitaal opgegradeer word. Tydensfase een, wat vanjaar afskop, gaan ek-stra stoorfasiliteite en ’n nuwe ambu-lansstasie op die hospitaalperseel teen’n beraamde R5,4 miljoen opgerig

word. Lunnon sê dat stoorkamers ui-ters belangrik is vir hospitale om me-diese voorraad en toerusting te stoorwat nie maklik en vinnig bekombaaris nie. Verder verduidelik sy dat daartans slegs parkeerplek vir ambulanseop die terrein is. Sy sê Robertson- am-bulanse word van Worcester se ambu-lansstasie uitgeroep.

Die tweede fase van die Robertson-hospitaal se opgradering, wat in die2013-2014 finansiële jaar sal geskied,sluit ’n nuwe kraamsaal en teaterkom-pleks met twee volledige teaters metdie nuutste tegnologie in.

Lunnon sê die opgradering skep ooknuwe werksgeleenthede vir mense indie mediese bedryf. Die derde en laastefase behels die opgradering van dienoodgevallekamer, nuwe apteek, ad-ministrasiekantore en ’n nuwe aan-meldpunt vir pasiënte.

Lunnon sê sy is baie opgewonde oordie opgradering omdat die hospitaal indie toekoms meer pasiëntgeoriënteerdsal wees.

The new face of medicineDALEEN FOUCHÉ

THE new manager of medical ser-vices in theDepartmentofHealth’sLangeberg subdistrict is a “pas-

sionate” and highly experienced doctorwhohasalreadystarted tomakeimprove-ments in the area.

Dr Luise Lunnon took up her new postlast year in June and has since been re-sponsible for the Robertson and Montaguhospitals, and the seven clinics and fivemobile clinics in the area.

Lunnon obtained her medical degree atthe University of Stellenbosch and star-ted her professional career at the Worces-ter Hospital. At the time, she was the onlyfemale doctor there.

After nine years she accepted a post atthe Cape Winelands District Municipali-ty and later the provincial Department ofHealthas thedirectorofhealth for thedis-trict.

During this time she established 34 cli-nics within the district municipality, in-cludingtheBergsig,BonnievaleandMon-

tagu clinics.Since Lunnon’s arrival in Robertson,

she has established and filled three newdoctors’ posts and introduced a new spe-cialist to thearea.Shehasalso introducedtwo new mobile clinics.

Lunnon says a big challenge of her newpost is to amalgamate the Robertson andMontagu hospitals into a single unit withtwofacilities.Shesaysspacewithinmedi-cal facilities is another big challenge inthe Langeberg municipal area and wel-comes the new renovations planned forthe Robertson Hospital.

Lunnon says her goal is to re-establishan operational hospital board for the Ro-bertson Hospital, which last had one in2008. She says that the hospital has ap-proachedpeople for thepositions, buthasnot yet been able to establish a board.

Lunnonsaysit isempirical thatahospi-tal has a board consisting of members ofthe community inorder for thecommuni-ty to have input into their medical struc-tures. “A board keeps the hospital ac-countable and patient orientated.”

Lunnon,who liveswithherhusbandonafarmbetweenRobertsonandWorcester,says that since she took up het new post,she has received a “warm welcome” fromthe community. She says she loves theshops in Robertson and no longer goes toWorcester to do her shopping. “I have on-ly had positive experiences with the staffand patients.”

Lunnon says that since she started,therehavebeenveryfewcomplaints frompatients. She says the hospital, however,has received several complaints regard-ing bills.

Lunnon explains that the RobertsonHospital is transferring toanewaccountssystem, which has caused various mis-takes to slip in, but assures the communi-ty that the hospital is paying attention tothis problem.

Lunnon says all clinics and the hospi-talshaveabox forcomplaintsandcompli-ments, and she welcomes both.

Lunnon says her goal is to make allmedical facilities in the Langeberg areapatient orientated and friendly.

Titanic-fassinasieOP12Aprilvanjaarwasditpre-

sies 100 jaardatdiepassasier-skip die Titanic in die Noord-

Atlantiese Oseaan teen ’n ysberg ge-bots en gesink het. Meer as 1 500mense het in daardie ramp gesterf.

Dit bly die grootste seetragedie indie geskiedenis en die mensdom hetbyna ’n obsessie daarmee ontwikkel.Ek onthou duidelik toe daar in 1986aangekondig is dat die Franse ont-dekkingsreisiger dr. Robert D. Bal-lard die wrak van die Titanic ontdekhet – ’n ongelooflike tegnologieseprestasie. Die ontdekking was wê-reldnuus en ek, geskiedenis-freakwat ek is, het alle koerant- en tyd-skrifartikels gebêre. Ek het ooksteeds die heel eerste artikel wat ekuit die tydskrif National Geographicgehou het, asook die een in 1968, dieeen in 2004 en onlangs die nuutse uit-gawe met die herdenkingsuitgawedaarvan.

Toe die rolprentmaker James Ca-meron in die 1990’s sy rolprent oordie ramp vrystel, het dit weer eens’n stortvloed van artikels in die koe-rante, tydskrifte en nou ook op dieinternet tot gevolg gehad.

ToedieTitanicinApril1912sytuis-hawe verlaat op sy nooiensvaart naNew York, was dit die grootste, diebeste en die weelderigste skip in diegeskiedenis. Daar is beweer dat dieskip onsinkbaar was – trouens, eenvan die eienaars of aandeelhouers

het destyds beweer dat selfs die He-melseVaderniedie skipsoukonsinknie.

Wel, hy is verkeerd bewys en meeras 1 500 mense het met hul lewens ge-boet. Deur die jare heen is talle redesvir die ramp ondersoek – sameswe-ringsteorieë, flaters deur die kapteinen sy personeel, die feit dat daar temin reddingsbote was – noem ’n redeen dit is ondersoek. Daar is selfs be-weer dat mense visioene of voorbo-des gehad het van die skip wat sink.

Die rede vir die ramp is later metbehulp van moderne tegnologie be-wys en dit was, na alles, ’n menslikefout.Swakstaalwatgebruikisvirdieklinknaelsvandie skip sewaterdigtekompartemente, het met die botsinggebreek en die kompartemente isoorstroom.

So, hoekom bly die ramp steedsmense se verbeelding aangryp? Is ditdie “romantiek” van die skip of dietragedie van die lewens wat dit geëishet? Dit bly ’n enigma vir my.

Ditwasegter interessantomte leesdat die Titanic se susterskip, wat asdie Gigantic bekend sou staan, senaam ná die ramp verander is.

Begin ietsBYNA ’n kwart van alle Suid-Afrikanerswat kan en wil werk, het nie werk nie. Ditis op sigself ’n skrikwekkende syfer, maarvoeg dit by die hoeveelheid werkendemense wat steeds ’n bittere stryd voer omaan die lewe te bly, en die armoede-prent-jie in die land raak duiselingwekkend.

Boonop het die ekonomie sedert 2008 ’ngroot knou gekry en dit is algemeen be-kend dat liefdadigheidsorganisasies toe-nemend begin sukkel het om geld in diehande te kry. Mense wat van ander segoedheid en geld afhanklik is, het dus toe-geneemterwyldie geldpoel omhulle te on-dersteun kleiner geraak het.

’n Indaba wat verlede week op Robert-son gehou is om entrepreneurs leiding tegee in die begin van hul eie klein onderne-ming, is dus ’n sprankie hoop in ’n ander-sins donker situasie. En hoewel klein, isenige poging om selfs net ’n handjievolmense die nodige toerusting te gee ommeer afhanklikheid te bekom, ’n uitste-kende inisiatief.

Ongelukkig is ’n eie onderneming ’nmoeilike en lang pad wat deurlopendegoeie gehalte en diens en ’n reuse dosisdeursettingsvermoë vereis. En natuurlikis die sukses daarvan afhanklik van dieondersteuning wat die onderneming ge-niet. Om plaaslike ondernemings te on-dersteun, is dus ’n manier om waarlik onsmede-inwoners op die langtermyn te help.

Liefdadigheidsorganisasiesbaat op groot skaal by skenkingTENMINSTE 20 welsynsorga-nisasies en voedingskemas indie Langeberg-area het verle-de week gebaat by die sken-king van tien ton groente deurGreyton Frozen Foods.

Greyton Frozen Foods is aldie afgelope vier jaar betrokkeby die honger- en armoedever-ligtingspoging van die Centreof Hope van Montagu. Hulleskenk gemiddeld 30 ton groen-te per jaar.

Volgens Alida Cilliers, be-marker van die Centre ofHope, word dié groot skenkingmoontlik gemaak deur ver-voer wat verskaf word deurplaaslike boere, onder anderemnr. Ernst Botha van Kruis-pad en mnr. Ben Kriel van Sil-ver Oaks. Cilliers sê hulle isook opreg dankbaar teenoormnr. Pieter Lotter van Arma-da Pakstoor en mnr. Kobus

vanAntwerpenvanRobertsonVrugteverpakkers wat diekratte verskaf en hul perselebeskikbaar stel vir die aflaaivan die groente.

DieCentreofHope-armoede-verligtingsprogram het ook 20ton mieliemeel van verskeieboere in die Bothaville-distrikin die Vrystaat ontvang. Dievervoer van dié skenking isook gratis verskaf deur ’n ver-voermaatskappy van Kaap-stad. Cilliers sê sy verwag bin-nekort nog ’n skenking van ’nhele paar ton mieliemeel van-uit Delmas in Mpumalanga.

Sy sê die Centre of Hope isbetrokke by voedselverskaf-fingaan1 700kinders, 250 seni-orburgersenomtrent250huis-gesinne uit die armste van diearm huishoudings in die Lan-geberg-area en Worcester. Diehulpprogram is ook betrokke

by sewe voedingskemas waar-van een geborg word deur dieShoprite-mobiele sopkombuisop Ashton, wat daagliks sopaan 400 mense verskaf.

DieCentreofHopehetdieaf-gelope twee jaar onder meer ’nerg verwaarloosde gebou in ’nnetjiese akkommodasie- enkonferensiesentrum omskepwaar verskeie vroue ontluikhet in kranige entrepreneurswat onder mentorskap hul eieondernemings gevestig het.

The surrounding grounds at Ashton Kelder are perfect for a picnic.

Ashton Kelder and its beautiful grounds.

Ashton Kelder’s rich history

ASHTON KELDER cele-brates its 50th birthdaythis month, looking back

on an interesting history.The town of Ashton owes its

existence to the railway stationestablished in 1887 by Cape Cen-tral Railway on the farm Roode-wal. A number of farmers, main-ly bordering on Ashton, Bon-nievale and Robertson, consid-ered establishing a co-operativecellar to cater for their needs.

The idea found favour and onMay 10 in 1962 an inauguralmeeting was held, at which itwas decided to proceed. So en-thusiastic were the proponentsof thescheme, that farmerscamealong with money in their pock-ets which they eagerly handedover to get the ball rolling, with-out even asking for a receipt.

Ashton Co-operative WineCellar was launched with 28members and a board of direc-torswaschosenwithMrP.P.Jor-daan as chairman.

A site for the cellar was select-edandJordaantransferredawa-ter right, which he enjoyed froma Brandvlei irrigation canal, to

the Co-op since the ground onwhich the cellar was to be erect-ed had no other source of water.

Almost immediately, workwas begun on digging trenchesto carry a pipeline to the sitewhere therehadpreviouslybeena quarry.

TheLandBankwasapproach-ed for a loan, which was initiallyrefused, but the bank under-esti-mated the farmers’ determina-tion. When bank officials oneday by chance heard the an-nouncement on the regionalnews service that water wasgushingout of thepipeline in theoldquarry, theyrelentedand theloan was granted.

Bythe timethecellarwasbuiltin 1963, there were 46 memberswhodeliveredatotalof2 130 tonsof grapes. With the commence-ment of the 1964 season, therewere 56 members and 5 790 tonswere pressed. In the 1968 season10 000 tons were pressed.

One of the problems at Ashtonwas the considerable quantity ofgrapes being produced whichwere not suitable for vinifyingbecause of low sugar content. To

deal with these grapes, it was de-cided to use them for the produc-tion of grape concentrate. Themost up-to-date machinery forthis purpose was imported fromWest Germany during 1971.

Approximately 70 000 hectoli-tresof juice is converted tograpeconcentrate annually.

The product found great fa-vour and the quality was consid-eredsogood, thatvirtuallyeverywine producer uses it for thesweetening of semi-sweet wine.

Ashton wines have won nu-merous awards at various wineshows. The Co-op currently han-dles 45 different grape varietiesand bottles an extensive range ofwines for sale to members and tothe public. It also offers a pinkMuscat de Hambourg sparklinggrape juice.

The grape intake normallyamounts to 20 000 tons, producedby 60 farmers, making it one ofthebiggerco-operativecellars inthe Western Cape operating un-der one roof, an example of whatcan come from small beginningswith a spirit of co-operation andthe will to succeed.

Warm up with winter winnersBY DANIQUE FULLARD

IN an almost unrecognisable andmysterious way, winter alwaysseems to lure me into a totally differ-

ent state of mind.My love of fresh light colours and zes-

ty flavours in summer has been com-pletely consumed by a desire for richer,deeper colours and heartier, warmermeals.Reds, orangesandearthybrownsfillmywinterpalate, soonthemenuthisweek are colour-inspired meals.

Roasted butternut soup with Camem-bert

(Serves 4))) 2 red peppers, halved and seeded)) 800 g butternut, cubed)) 1 head of garlic)) Olive oil)) 50 g butter)) 2 medium onions, chopped)) 120 ml dry sherry)) one litre vegetable or chicken

stock)) 250 g streaky bacon, chopped and

grilled until crisp)) 1 ripe Camembert round, cut into

wedgesPlace the red peppers and butternut

into a roasting pan. Slice the top off the

garlic to expose the flesh, and then addto the pan.

Drizzle the vegetables with olive oiland roast at 200°C for 20 to 30 minutesor until tender. Remove from the ovenand press the flesh out of the garlicskins, and then discard the skins. Heatthe butter in a saucepan. Sauté thechopped onions until soft and add thesherry and the vegetables. Cover andsimmer over a low heat for 15 minutes.

Transfer mixture to a food processorand blend until smooth. Otherwise,transfer toadishandblitzusingablend-stick. Return the mixture to the sauce-pan and add the stock.

Bring to the boil, then reduce the heatand simmer for ten minutes. Season totaste with salt and pepper. Top eachserving of soup with crisp bacon piecesandwedges ofCamembert and serve im-mediately.

)) Tomato and beetroot soup withcoriander cream

)) Serves 4-6)) 15 ml oil)) 1 large onion, chopped)) 2 cloves garlic, crushed)) 600 g fresh, ripe tomatoes, peeled)) 400 g beetroot, peeled and grated)) 650 ml prepared chicken stock

)) Juice and gratedzest of 1 orange

)) 15 ml honey)) 1 cinnamon stick)) 2 ml ground all-

spice)) 30 ml fresh corian-

der, finely chopped)) 125 ml sour creamHeat the oil and sauté

the onion and garlic untilsoft. Add the remainingingredients, except theco-riander and the sourcream.

Bring to the boil, andthen simmer for 45 min-utes. Remove the cinnamon stick andblend the soup in a liquidiser or usinga blending stick until smooth. Season totaste.

Blend the coriander and sour creamtogether until smooth. Serve the souptopped with a spoonful of the coriandercream. Springfield’s Wholeberry Ca-bernet Sauvignon is a good match. Thesofter tannins with lively ripe berry fla-vourswillcomplimentandnotoverpow-er this soup.

To go with that, living in the beautifulBreede River Valley presents a myriad

of winter activities which I feel inspiredto embrace this year.

Do not miss out on a morning walk,especially if you have a view of the mist-covered vineyards, followed perhaps bywarm toast with homemade jam or agourmet version of a traditional oatsbreakfast.

Whentheporridgeis thickandcookedthrough, ladle into bowls and stir intoeach, 1 tbls honey, ½ tsp cinnamon, 1tsp brown sugar and a knob of butter.Top with 2 tbls raisins and enjoy withfreshly perculated coffee.
