RYNEVELDSTRAAT: STUDENTE TREK EENVERDAGTE VAS
Gyselaarshelderoordag
ELB VAN HEERDEN
n Bejaarde man en sy dogter is verlede
week helder oordag vir n uur en n half
gyselaar gehou in Ryneveldstraat.
Die twee verdagtes, een n minderjarige, is
later dieselfdedag inhegtenis geneemmetdie
hulp van twee heldhaftige studente en goeie
speurwerk van die Stellenbosch SAPD.
Irene Waugh (54) en haar pa, Mike van Zyl
(84), het verlede Woensdag kort n 15:00 by
haar suster se woonstel in Ryneveldstraat
aangekom. nMan het op die stoep gesit. My
pa was besig om die deur toe te maak toe die
mandithardvanbuiteoopstoot,vertel Irene.
Hyhet n rewolwer op ons gerig en aan ons
begin pluk vir ons ringe. Ek het dit toe self
afgehaal en oorhandig.
Hy het ook haar handsak uitgegooi en kon-
tant en haar selfoon gevat.
Hy het my pa in die gesig geslaan en ge-
stamp dat hy val, maar my pa het terugge-
slaan. Hul hande en voete is vasgebind en
hulle is in n klein badkamertjie ingedruk.
Hywoumymotorsleutelsh,maarkonnie
die motor aan die gang kry nie. Hy het heen-
en-weer geloop en my gedreig en ges dis die
verkeerde sleutels.
Toehyweer die huis binnekom, het n twee-
de rower slegs 16 jaar oud hom vergesel.
Hy het n geweer op die twee gyselaars gerig.
Ek het saggies met hom gepraat en gevra
waarom hy dit doen. Hy het geantwoord dat
niemandhom liefhet nie,maar ekhet vir hom
ges Jesus het hom lief!
Die jong man het vir haar pa n baie sterk
drankie gegooi, maar self niks gedrink nie.
Hy het later ook haar pa se ring teruggegee.
Die ouer rower het intussen spore gemaak
en die kind in die huis gelos.
Ek was angsbevange dat my suster met
haar nuwe motor by die huis sou kom voor
hulle weg is. Sy het kort n die eerste man
gevlug het, tuisgekom.
Die jongmanhet opdie vlug geslaan,maar
my suster het hom met haar handsak byge-
dam en hy het die geweer laat val. Ons het
toe eers besef dit was n speelgoed-geweer.
Die vlugtende kind het twee manstudente
se aandag getrek. Volgens Martin Viljoen, n
woordvoerdervan Universiteit Stellenbosch,
het Matthew Tindall en Garron Brewitt hom
in die rigting van Die Rand agternagesit.
n Patrolliemotorfiets van Kampussekuri-
teit was in die omgewing en is ook agterna.
Die skelm is uiteindelik naby die NG Kerk-
Noord deur die studente platgeduik.
Skofleier Paul Elias en patrolliebeamptes
Jean-PierreMynhardt en Chalton Swartz het
toe die studente bygestaan aangesien die
skelm baie aggressief en gewapen was.
Volgens lt. Natalie Martin van die polisie
het speur-konst.MarlonAppolis en ao.Andr
Manus die aand n 21:00 n leidraad gevolg en
is hulle naBellevue-plaas op dieBottelarypad
waar hulle die gesteelde voertuig opgemerk
het.
n Ses-en-veertig-jarige man is aangekeer
en is saammet die 16-jarige seunvanhuisroof
aangekla. Albei het verlede Vrydag in die hof
verskyn en die saak is uitgestel na Maandag
vir hul borgtogaansoek.
Ditwas egter die tweedekeer dat Irenedeur
gewapende rowers oorval is. Die eerste keer
was op 21 Desember 2010 om 08:15 by die Kat-
jiepiering restaurant in die Botaniese Tuin
wat hulle vir n funksie gehuur het.
Alberto Costa was by hulle en is ook in die
voorval beroof. Hy is twee maande later in n
gewapende rooftog doodgeskiet.

de rower help aankeer het.

Naastesberusbyvonnis
ELB VAN HEERDEN
B
yna twee jaar n Alberto Costa se
doodopsyplaasCloetesdal,praatsy
familie en vriende oor die vonnis
wat verlede week opgel is.
Costa (44) is 18 Januarie 2011 op sy plaas
Cloetesdal doodgeskiet.Die driemanswat te-
reg gestaan het op sy moord, Mfundise Yese
(26), Simankele Mralaza (30) en Cedric Vus-
uzi Mphakathi (21) is verlede week tot le-
wenslange tronkstraf gevonnis. n Vierde
verdagte, ViciceloMadolo (27), wat as staats-
getuieopgetreehet, is 20 jaar tronkstraf opge-
l.
Zelda Costa, Alberto se weduwee, het di
week ges dat sy dankbaar en verlig is dat
di gedeelte nou afgehandel is.
Ek wil tog net weer eens my waardering
uitspreek teenoor die polisie, forensiese des-
kundiges, die staatsgetuies, en advokaatMa-
ria Marshall, waarsonder die skuldigbevin-
ding nooit moontlik sou gewees het nie.
Die (lewenslange tronkstraf} is die beste
uitkoms waarvoor n mens kan hoop in n
moordsaak.Myhart gaanuit naduisendean-
derslagoffersvanmisdaadwatnooit soosons
closure sal kry nie. Ek hoop maar net dat die
vier skuldiges hulle tyd in die gevangenis po-
sitief sal aanwend en iets van hul lewens sal
maak.
Zeldaenhaarkindershet intussendorp toe
getrek, maar volgens Zelda gaan dinge nie
noodwendig beter of slegter as toe hulle nog
op die plaas was nie.
Dis bloot anders. Ek probeer altyd om die
beste van n situasie te maak en voel bevoor-
reg dat ek virmykinders n tuiste in die dorp
kon skep waar hulle weer veilig voel.
My kinders verbaas my. Ek kyk na hulle
en dan weet ek wat beteken onverdiende ge-
nade. Hulle hou my staande.
Ons toekoms is in God se hande. Die Here
is my lewe, Hy sorg vir my.
Sondermyma,sussiesenalmyenAlberto
se wonderlike vriende se liefde en hulp sou
eknooit hierdie afgelope 18maande konhan-
teer het nie.
Rudi Buys, n jare langevriendvanAlberto
en sy gesin, het ges dat hy tevrede is met
die straf wat op die ou end opgel is.
Hulle isdieswaarstemoontlikestrafopge-
l vir die moord. Ek is egter bly dat die reg
sy gang gegaan het en dat hulle skuldig be-
vind is en tot die maksimum gevonnis is.
Ons is almal verlig dat dit vir eers verby
is en dat ons kan aangaan met ons lewens.
Die straf sal ten einde niks verander nie,
maar ek is bly dat hulle nou van die straat
af is.
Ek dink ook die polisie het ongelooflike
goeiewerkgedoen, veralhul forensiese span,
en die staatsgetuie was natuurlik ook van
groot hulp. Hy het self ook nie lig daarvan
afgekomnie,watverblydend is.Die staatkon
dus n waterdigte saak voorl wat gehelp het
om hulle skuldig te bevind, meen Buys.
Tiaan Strauss, die oud-Springbok en self n
goeievriendvanAlberto, isditeens.Ekdink
regtig nmenskanbaie tevredevoel.Diepoli-
sie kan ook gekomplimenteer word. Van die
begin af het hulle deeglik ondersoek gedoen.
Ek dink nie nmens kan vir n beter straf vra
nie. Mens kan nou net hoop dat hulle nie gou
op parool vrygelaat word nie.
Hy voel verder dat die saak n tyd gevat het
omaf tehandel,maardatdit redelikgoedver-
loop en vinnig afgehandel is.Alberto en Zelda Costa op hul troudag. FOTO: VERSKAF

Stellenbosch companies dont
need to have a complex social re-
sponsibility programme tomake a
difference in their community.
By takingpart in theSantaShoe-
boxProject 2012, thebusiness com-
munity of Stellenbosch can assist
in putting a smile on many under-
privileged childrens faces.
Staff members of the local busi-
ness IMQS in Technopark are tak-
ing part in the project for the third
time this year.
Recently IMQS staff members
gathered over a lunchbreak and
took the time to decorate the 20
shoeboxes they are planning to
pledge.
Withapredeterminedbudget for
each box, two staff members
shopped for the content and then
packed all the boxes within an af-
ternoon. What was supposedly a
charitable effort on our part actu-
ally turned intoagreat team-build-
ing hour for all the staff, noted
Rob Knight, the CEO.
IMQS will be pledging boxes for
the third time this year.
It really is a great way to give
back to the community that we op-
erate in, and it also happens to be
great fun for us, says staff mem-
ber Willem Pretorius.
With 1 562 boxes pledged out of
4 702 children registered in the
Stellenbosch area, the project or-
ganisers appeal to the business
community to help in not disap-
pointing any of the kids.
The Santa Shoebox Project is a
non-profit organisation that has
been working to collect gifts at
Christmas time for thousands of
underprivileged children since
2006.
Donors personally choose and
fill gift boxes and then decorate
and label each one with the recipi-
ents name. Uniquely, the donor
knows the name, age, gender and
care institutionof the child thegift
wasbought for.TheSantaShoebox
project distributes the gifts.
Visit the website at www.san-
tashoebox.co.za for step by step in-
structions. The drop-off of com-
pleted boxes in Stellenbosch will
take place from 23 to 25 October at
the NG Kerk Welgelegen.

Munisipalehuisgestroop
SAMANTHA VAN DEN BERG
n
Le dop. Dt is al wat oor
is van n munisipale huis
wat oor die laaste paar
maande in Onder-Papegaaiberg
deur diewe gestroop is.
Die huis is sedert Februarie 1982
deurHansGroenewald, n voormalige
seniortegnikusbydiedepartmentver-
keersingenieurswese van die Stellen-
bosch-munisipaliteit, en sy gesin be-
woon. Hans het einde 2011 n 45 jaar
se diens afgetree en hy en sy gesin het
einde Januarie 2012 uit die huis ge-
trek. Di huis is een van sesmunisipa-
le huise in di woonbuurt.
VolgensHans sedogter,AndriGroe-
newald, is daar vyf dae n hulle uitge-
trek het reeds begin om die huis te
stroop. Ek is terug omonspos te gaan
haal enhet omgeloopomtekykof daar
nie potplante agtergebly het nie. Ek
het egter deur die vensters geloer en
wasgeskokomtesiendatdiedakwaai-
ers wat my ouers genstalleer het,
asook al die ligte uit die dak geruk is.
Ons buurman het laat weet hy het
drie mans met n bakkie gewaar wat
met die geiser daar weggery het. Die
gras rondom die huis is die afgelope
paar maande ook nie gesny nie en die
plante het gevrek.
Volgens Groenewald is die polisie
bewus van die situasie.
Dit is hartverskeurend vir hul ge-
sin omdie huis so te sien vergaan, ver-
al omdat haar pa die laaste tien jaar
wat hy by die munisipaliteit werk-
saam was verskeie pogings aange-
wend het om die huis te koop.
Sy versoeke is egter afgekeur.
Ons gesinwou so graag diewoning
bekom en het mooi daarna omgesien.
Nou staan dit leeg en vergaan terwyl
dit kaal gestroop word. Watter aan-
wins is dit n vir die munisipaliteit?
Dit is hoe die raad hulle bates hanteer
hulle laat dit verval in onbruik.
Oud-buurman, BenMalanmeen die
le huis is n veiligheidsrisiko vir die
straat, want dit lok sekere elemente.
Volgenshomsukkeldiebuurmandi-
rek langsaan die huis met diefstal uit
sy erf. Daar is twee ander lemunisi-
pale huise in die straat bo ons wat ook
geplunder word.
Piet Smit van die munisipaliteit se
departement eiendomsbestuur het by
navraag vandeesweek aan Eikestad-
nuus ges hy onderneem om dadelik
ondersoek na die situasie in te stel. Sy
departement is verantwoordelik vir
die instandhouding van munisipale
geboue. Hy kon homnie uitspreek oor
wanneer iemand weer in die huis sal
trek nie en ges dit word deur die be-
huisingsdepartement hanteer.
Ek verstaan die Groenewald-gesin
se sentimente, maar onsword verbied
omrelings in plek te hwat huurders
voorkeur gee om huise te koop.
Die badkamer is verwoes en al die krane en
pype is uitgeruk. Die wasbak is reeds verwy
der. FOTOS: SAMANTHA VAN DEN BERG

CRIME STATISTICS 2012:OVERVIEW
Murderdown, rapeup
ELB VAN HEERDEN
T
hroughout the country it ap-
pears as if crime is on the de-
cline and if there are fewer
reported murder cases.
This is also the case in Stellen-
bosch, although house robberies,
burglaries and sexual crimes have
all shown an increase.
We are not yet where we want to
be. Our relationship and coopera-
tion with the public still needs a lot
of work, said Stellenbosch cluster
commander, Brigadier Dirk Men-
toor.
The Stellenbosch cluster consists
of the Stellenbosch, Cloetesville,
Klapmuts, Groot Drakenstein, and
Franschhoek stations.
In this cluster 44 murder cases
have been reported this year as op-
posed to 62 last year. According to
Mentoor 24 of thesewere committed
in Stellenbosch.
Of the 24 murders, 15 have not
been resolved. Most of them were
committed in Kayamandi and
Enkanini and we suspect most of
these had to do with bundu courts.
Klapmuts had four murders, all
of which have been solved. The sev-
en murders committed in Fransch-
hoekandthethreemurdersinGroot
Drakenstein are currently in court
and out of the six murders in
Cloetesville, five are in court and
one is still under investigation.
Sexual crimes,which include sex-
ual assault and rape, have risen by
3,6%, from 252 to 261.
It is especially of concern that
most of the rape and sexual assault
victims are under the age of 18.
There has been a significant in-
crease in minors being abused and
children being neglected.
These crimes are also mostly
committed by family members
whichmakethemextremelyhard to
prosecute.
We have had a spate of rapes in
Klapmuts,butwiththehelpofsocial
services we are beginning to make
people more aware of the problem.
Awareness campaigns should be
an ongoingmethod of curbing these
crimes, Mentoor said.
Robberies with aggravating cir-
cumstances have also shown a sig-
nificant increase of 9,4 % (from 299
to 327 cases) on top of last years in-
crease of 37,8 % from 217 cases.
These are committed by organ-
ised groups from outside of town.
They usually have one personwho
knows the area to identify targets.
Up to nowwe have identified six
such groups, but as soon as a group
isarrested, suchas the recentarrest
of five men, the remaining culprits
form faction groups.
The groups work in various
areas, butwearevery satisfiedwith
our intelligence networks between
the clusters who all work together
to stop these robberies.
Burglaries have risen with 5%
from1515 to1591ontopof lastyears
increase of 4,8 % from 1 446.
Stellenbosch has its problem
areas in the centre of town and
around campus,wherewe still keep
an eye out. Therewas a spate of bur-
glariesintheKleinWelgevondenar-
eawhichwehaveidentifiedasbeing
linked to drug use and have
sincebeenneutralised.Ear-
ly parole release also plays
a role as we find the same
perpetrators committing
crimes. Laptops, televi-
sions and equipmentwhich
can quickly be disposed of,
are mostly targeted.
Theft of motor vehicles
and theft out of motor vehi-
cles have shown a decline,
but are still high, with 262
vehicles stolen in the time
frame.
Those crimes that de-
pend heavily on police ac-
tion for detection should
show an increase as this shows the
police are doing their job.
Drug-related crime has in-
creased10,6%overallwith 1 583 cas-
es reported. Altogether 793 of these
cases were opened in Cloetesville.
We have a new strategy to curb
gang- and drug-related crime and
haveputpressureoncertainknown
individuals in the area.We are hop-
ing to completely remove the drug
elements and thusalso stop gang-re-
lated activity.
Drunken driving has shown a de-
crease and Mentoor said that they
will be working with the traffic de-
partment to have more road blocks
in the area. This will not only help
stop drunken driving, but at the
same time we will search for illegal
firearmsanddrugsandhelpstopve-
hicle theft.
One of the biggest concerns is
house robberies, which have risen
with 43,5% from 23 to 33 reported
cases. These crimes are also com-
mitted by organised syndicates
rather than opportunistic individu-
als.Wehadan influxof these crimes
in Klapmuts and the same group of
men were tied to robberies in Bel-
ville andHout Bay. They have since
beenarrestedandrobberies inthese
areas have declined.

SAMANTHA VAN DEN BERG
N
ognkrimineleklagisteendieor-
ganiseerders van die onwettige
optog onlangs in Klapmuts gel.
Francois Klomp, n siviele ingenieur
vanWEC-Consultendieontwikkelaarvan
n groot projek op die Groenfontein-plaas
in Klapmuts, het verlede Vrydag n klag
van saakbeskadiging by die Klapmuts-po-
lisie gel.
Dit komnadat n optog sowat tweeweke
gelede op n Donderdag hier gehou is.
Die inwoners is glo ongelukkig oor die
stand van behuising in die gemeenskap.
Die paar honderd mense het met Klap-
muts se hoofweg in die rigting van die R44
af beweeg endie polisiemoeskort voordie
R44 skokgranate afvuur om die skare te
stuit.
Eikestadnuushet verledeweekberigdie
organiseerders van die onwettige optog is
aangekla vir die hou van n onwettige op-
tog en sal eersdaags in die hof verskyn.
Klomp het egter vandeesweek aan Eike-
stadnuus ges die betogers het gedurende
die optog ook sy grond betree.
Hier het hulle sy kontrakteurs, Power
KonstruksieenEskom,gedreig, ge-intimi-
deer en verjaag.
Die betogers het glo vir hulle ges hulle
gaanhulwerk stop enhul voertuie aandie
brand steek.
Ek het twee maande vir Eskom gewag
om n kragpaal te kom verskuif en op die
dag wat hulle beskikbaar is, word hulle
deur betogers weggejaag. Ons moes heel-
watkonstruksiewerkuitstelendushetmy
maatskappy finansile verliese gely, s
Klomp.
Die totale skade,wat ondermeer vertra-
ging insluit, behels sowat R110 000.
Volgens Klomp moet iemand verant-
woordelikheid vir die optog vat.
Dit isonverantwoordelikvandie inwo-
ners om n minderheidsgroep toe te laat
om die hele dorp op sleeptou te neem. Die
gemeenskap moet verstaan hierdie tipe
optrede is nie goed vir ontwikkeling nie.
Klomp voeg by die ontwikkeling op
Groenfontein het reeds meer as n 100 in-
woners werk gegee en hou soveel geleent-
hede vir die gemeenskap in veral met
Shoprite enEngenwat ookdaar gaanbel.
Die gemeenskap moet wakker word
hulle kla terwyl dinge om hulle gebeur.
Ons is baie positief oorKlapmuts as n ont-
wikkelingsgebied en wil h die gemeen-
skapmoet n positiewe bydrae lewer. Hul-
lemoenie toelaat dat nminderheidsgroep
hulle aftrek nie.
Uit die Burgemeester se kantoor
JanMarais-reservaat n speelpark vir eekhorings?
SAMANTHA VAN DEN BERG
n Unieke verskynsel in die groot dennebome
indie JanMarais-natuurreservaat laat die re-
servaat se adviesraad hulle koppe krap.
Kinderspeelgoed is onlangs op die takke
van die groot dennebome in die reservaat se
park-area gehang.
Prof. Jan Giliomee, die voorsitter van die
adviesraad, het vandeesweek aan Eikestad-
nuus ges dat dit vermoedelik n eekhoring-
speelpark is. Volgens hom het hy die reser-
vaat sowat n week gelede besoek, waarna hy
die speelgoedhoog bo in die bome gewaar het.
Ek vermoed dit is eekhorings, maar ek is
nie seker nie. Ons het heelwat eekhorings in
die reservaat en hier is baie dennepitte vir
hulle om te eet.
Daar is nog n speelpark vir kinders hier
naby en ek vermoed die eekhorings het die
speelgoeddaaropgetel enhiervirhulself kom
hang. Hulle het seker die ou klere in die De
Wet-steeg in die dorp gesien en gedink hulle
kan ook kuns hier in die reservaat aan-
bring, skerts hy.
Giliomee is egter nie seker wat die speel-
goed-verskynsel is nie en nooi die gemeen-
skap om daarna te kom kyk en spekuleer oor
wat dit mag wees en hoe dit daar gekom het.
Toegang tot die reservaat is gratis en daar
is voltydse sekuriteit oor naweke. Die reser-
vaat is nou besonder mooi en ons nooi almal
uit om hierdie natuurskat te kom geniet.

Een van n verskeidenheid pragtige proteas
nou te sien by die Jan Maraisnatuurreser
vaat.
DIT is tog so dat een prent duideliker spreek as n
duisend woorde.
Die naweek se Eikestadnuus-voorblad het grusame
fotos van padongelukke vertoon, terwyl Die Burger se
voorblad die bruisende Eersterivier tydens die kano-
vaart op Erfenisdag uitgebeeld het.
Dit laat my vra: Op watter wyse is Stellenbosch
eerste, op grondwaarvan kanons land
op eerste internasionale plek aan-
spraak maak?
Wat is die hoofteks wat mense hier
by die huis en in ander lande oor ons
land en dorp lees?
Aandieeenkanthetonsdieonnodi-
ge slagting op ons paaie, die noodlotti-
ge rooftogtewat internasionaal opslae
maak, die toenemende bendegeweld,
die straatresies wat snags plaasvind en
mense wat steeds vir dronkbestuur
aangekeer word.
Daarenteen staan die lof wat deur
vise-president, Kgalema Motlanthe,
aan Stellenbosch se Universiteitskoor
toegeswaai is vir die wyse waarop hulle die land se
kultuurerfenis help integreer, die 700 skoolkinders uit
16 horskole wat as n massakoor in die Kruiskerk n
gedeelde erfenis uitgebeeld het en prof.NicoKoopman
se beroep op jong mense om daardie erfenis op te
eis en uit te bou.
Dwarsoordie land is daarhierdiebotsende tendense
van negatiwiteit en positiwiteit te bespeur.
Waar staan ons as dorp? Wat simboliseer die eer-
ste in Eersterivier?Ons het die geleentheid om eerste
tewees inuitnemendheiddiemees vooruitstrewende
dorp in die land.Ons dorp besit alles wat benodigword
om so n ideaal n werklikheid te maak alles behalwe
selfgeloof en die wil om n verskil te maak.
Terwyl die dorp vanjaar sy 333ste bestaan vier, het
een van ons kerke sy 90ste bestaansjaar oor die afgelo-
pe naweek gevier. By hierdie geleentheidwas diemode-
rator van die Volkskerk se tema Vreemd maar Rele-
vant. Die tema beteken dat, as ons n
verskil wil maak, ons anders moet wees.
Stellenbosch, as die vallei van moont-
likhede en karakter, sal net bewaarheid
word as ons in so n sin vreemd sal
wees. Vreemd soos n PieterNelwat ver-
skoning vra vir gebeurewatdekades gele-
de gebeur het, vreemd soos in kuier en
samesyn oorkant die Banghoekweg van
verdeeldheid en vreemd soos in onvoor-
waardelike uitreik en herstel van mense
semenswaardigheid,ongeagallebestaan-
de skeidslyne.
Our town cannot afford to mark time
to stand in the same place and wait for
matters to run their course. There are
ominous signs everywhere that we need to redouble
ourefforts toreachconsensuson findingwaysof collec-
tively addressing our challenges.
We cannot just ask our young people to find com-
mon ground.We, the generation supposedly in charge,
needs to be at the forefront of collective efforts to
remove the barriers that obstruct meaningful dialogue
that will address the underlying issues.
If we fail we will be the first to feel the brunt of
a wave, a tsunami, of change over which we shall have
no control.

R1miljoen verdwyn uit Suspi se koffers
EUNICE VISAGIE
Daar is grtmoeilikheidbydieStel-
lenbosch Universiteit se Sportpres-
tasie-instituut (Suspi).
Dt nadat n forensiese oudit deur
KPMG onderneem is na die verbre-
king van universiteitsrels en finan-
sile prosedures by die Suspi-gimna-
sium.
Volgens die verslag is daar sowat
R1miljoenwaarvoor daar nie reken-
skap gegee kan word nie.
Die verslag is voorgel en die be-
trokke werknemers is voor n dissi-
plinre verhoor gedaag. n Onaf-
hanklike voorsitter was aan stuur
van sake.
Na aanleiding hiervan is een per-
soneellid uit diens gestel en twee is
geskors, waarvan een besluit het om
Suspi se diens te verlaat, het Moha-
med Shaikh, n seniorwoordvoerder
van die US ges.
Die afwykings van aanvaarde be-
stuurspraktyke het oor n verloop
van tyd in die Suspi-gimnasium
plaasgevind en geen ander afdelings
is geraak nie. Die ondersoek het ge-
dui op aansienlike bedrae geldwaar-
voor nie na behore rekenskap gegee
kon word nie.
Daar word lankal reeds in plaasli-
ke sportkringe bespiegel oor die
voortbestaanvanSuspi.Met die stig-
ting van die Stellenbosch Akademie
vir Sport (SAS) in Januarie vanjaar
was daar diegene wat van mening is
dat SAS die laaste spyker in die
doodskis van Suspi is.
)DiebeleggingsmaatskappyRem-
gro gaan saammet die US die nodige
finansiering vir die bou van n 50 m
Olimpiese-grootte swembad voor-
sien. n Formele ooreenkoms word
vroeg volgende week gesluit waarin
die SAS mede-gebruikers van die
swembad sal word.
Die sloping van die US se ou, bui-
tenshuise swembad neem hierdie
weeknaanvangterwylbouwerkaan
die nuwe swembad na verwagting in
Oktober sal begin. Die bestaande
swembad is meer as 60 jaar oud en
is gesluit vanwe n permanente lek-
kasie weens strukturele skade wat
oor tyd heen ontstaan het.
Die nuwe verhitte swembad maak
voorsiening vir sportsoorte soos
swem, waterpolo en onderwaterhok-
kie. Pawiljoene vorm nie deel van
die bou van die swembad nie, maar
die beplanning is dat dit as n tweede
fase gebou sal word sodra fondse
daarvoor beskikbaar word.
Die nuwe swembad sal, afhangen-
de van weersomstandighede, einde
April 2013 of kort daarna voltooi
word.

Komons skepnuweerfenis
Stellenbossers het die afgelope Maandag op Erfenisdag na die
oewers van die Eersterivier gestroom om deel te wees van die
dorp se eerste Erfenisfees.
Daar was di wat skepties was oor die sukses van s n fees.
Met nmens se aankoms inDie Laan is enige twyfel egter vinnig
uit die weg geruim oor die volhoubaarheid daarvan. Saam het
Stellenbossers, oor historiese grense heen, die sport en sports
rondom die Eersterivier geniet.
Met die reuk van braaivleis in die lug dit was immers ook
mos Braaidag iets koud in die hand en die klank van verskeie
van Stellenbosch se musiekkulture en kinders se gelag in jou
ore, is gestalte aan n nuwe, gedeelde erfenis gegee.
Dieselfde naweek het die Volkskerk van Afrika ook sy 90ste
verjaardag in Idasvallei gevier.Bydigeleentheidhetds.Simon
Adams gevra vir die verskuiwing van grense en die feit dat dit
nou tyd geword het vir Stellenbossers van alle dele van die dorp
om hande te vat en vorentoe te beweeg.
Hy het daarop gewys dat wat in Stellenbosch gebeur, altyd
aanleiding gee tot wat in die res van die land kan plaasvind.
Bydi dienshet dr.DonaldKatts die sowat 1 000 lidmate gevra
om vreemd te wees. Nie vreemd soos in weird nie, eerder an-
ders bepaald anders as die res van die land.
Saam met dr. Katts, daag ook Eikestadnuus Stellenbossers
uit om vreemd te wees soos gasvry, vergewensgesind, liefdevol
vir alles en almal, ongeag wie of wat hulle is, om die ekstra myl
te loop en om inklusief te wees.
Kom ons in Stellenbosch wees vreemd en bou aan n nuwe,
gedeelde erfenis vir ons dorp wat vanjaar 333 jaar oud is.
Suid-Afrika se visepresident, Kgalema Motlanthe, het by sy
onlangse besoek aan Stellenbosch die optrede van dieUniversi-
teitskoor in die Kruiskerk as voorbeeld gebruik van waartoe
ons land se mense is staat is. Hy moes k op Erfenisdag in
die Kruiskerk gewees het om te ervaar hoe 700 leerlinge van
16 plaaslike skole saamsing, saamkuier en saam harte roer.
Wat n besondereweekwas dit nie in die geskiedenis van Stel-
lenbosch nie!
Die voorgestelde wysiging van die
definisie van gesin in diemunisi-
paliteit se konsepvoorstelle vir die
Integrated Zoning Scheme om voor-
siening te maak vir tot vier onaf-
hanklike persone wat n gemeen-
skaplike huishouding vorm, laat
die rooi ligte flikkervirgroepbehui-
singskemas in residensile sones.
Uit my ervaring is dit juis di ka-
tegorieinwonerswattalleprobleme
(ondermeer steurnis en parkering)
vir ander inwoners en die bestuur
van sodanige skemas skep.
Ekverwysooknienetnastudente
nie. Talle sogenaamde jong profes-
sionele persone skep ook boge-
noemde probleme.
Ook kommerwekkend is dat eie-
naars (dikwelswelvarendeengesie-
ne gemeenskapslede) en
verhuringsagente van eenhede in
groepskemas wat tans hierdie tipe
bewoning onwettig toelaat, dikwels
in hul onbetrokkenheid skitter en
hul hande in onskuld was indien
daar probleme voorkom.
Opvallendindiebrieweoordieso-
neringsvoorstelle in die Eikestad-
nuus van 14 en 21 September 2012 is
verwysings na die praktiese aard
daarvan. Die vraag is natuurlik:
Prakties vir wie? Dit is ironies dat
die munisipaliteit bogenoemde ver-
huringspraktyk deur die uitbrei-
ding van die definisie van gesin
wil kondoneer aangesien dit dik-
wels gevolge het wat die lewens van
bona fide-gesinne in onder meer
groepbehuisingskemas versuur.
Indien die munisipaliteit met di
nuwe verordeninge meer verant-
woordelikhede na die algemene pu-
bliek wil afwentel, moet die legitie-
me belange van permanente en ge-
vestigde inwoners (waarvan al hoe
meer in groepskemas woon) nie uit
die oog verloor word nie.

EUNICE VISAGIE
DIE Volkskerk van Afrika het die
afgelope naweek 90 glorieryke jare
gevier.
Sowat 1 000 leraars en lidmate
was teenwoordig by die Dankseg-
gingsdienswatSondag in Idasvallei
gehou is. Die feesprediker was dr.
Donald Katts (moderator) van die
Volkskerk.
Dr. Katts en ds. SimonAdams (vi-
se-moderator) het dit as n emosio-
nele en opwindende dag bestempel.
Dit is wel n emosionele dag,
maar ook n merkwaardige een
waarop ons 90 jaar van geskiedenis
kon vier, het Katts ges.
Adams het op sy beurt ges dit is
n voorreg om deel te wees van die
vieringe.
Ek was nog my hele lewe deel
van die Volkskerk. Dit is werklik n
vreugdevolle oomblik.
VirAdams isdit belangrikdat die
Volkskerk soos die afgelope 90 jaar
virvolgende90jaarsteedsmoetaan-
hou om n rol in die gemeenskap te
speel.
Ek gaan wel nou nie vir nog 90
jaar hier wees nie, maar dit is be-
langrik dat ons altyd n rol speel.
Daar is nog baie uitdagings soos die
feit dat alle mense nog nie ekono-
mies bevry is nie.
Metdieoogopdievolgende90 jaar
is dit Adams se wens dat na almal
indieGroterStellenboschuitgereik
sal word.
Die boodskap wat ons wil uitdra
is dat ons moet handevat met me-
kaar. Ons moet die kwaad van die
verlede agter ons sit en deur alle
grense breek.
Ons het al voorheen gesien dat
wat hier op Stellenbosch gebeur, al-
tyd n invloed op die res van Suid-
Afrika het.
Die tema van Katts se preek was
Vreemd, maar relevant deur 90
jaar se genade. Die skrifgedeelte
was 1 Petrus 1:12.
Die kerk mag nooit volledig van
hierdiewreldwees nie, nooit bloot
net die gesindheid en visie van die
samelewing wat dikwels deur sy
beleidenwetteuitgedrukwordna-
aap nie. Die kerk mag nooit onkri-
ties die status quo van die dag sen
nie daarom en hieroor is die
vreemdheid, andersheid en uniek-
heid van die kerkgemeenskap so be-
langrik.
Hy het voorts ges: Wanneer ons
deur die werking van die Heilige
GeesoortuigwordominJesusteglo,
Hom te volg, word ons vreemd vir
die wreld waarin ons leef. Vreemd
nie soos konserwatief, onbekend,
onbetrokke of onkundig nie.
Vreemd soos in onverwags, alterna-
tief, gasvry, insluitend, sewentig
maal sewevergewe, liefdevirdievy-
and, te sen wie jou vervloek, slaaf-
skap in stede van baasskap, die afl
van die tweede myl en die gee van
jou onderbaadjie.
Dan isonsvreemdsoos invreem-
delingskap, n vreemdheid wat rele-
vant is. n Vreemdheid wat ons
kwesbaar laat, maar n vreemdheid
wat menslikheid uitspel.
Hy het afgesluit deur te s: Kom
ons help mense onthou dat ons
vreemdelinge en bywoners hier op
aarde is omdat ons God en sy Ko-
ninkryk-waardes vergestalt.

Choir inspires
EUNICE VISAGIE
THE Stellenbosch University Choir has in-
spired the deputy president of South Africa.
Kgalema Motlanthe witnessed a perform-
ance of the choir at last weeks inaugural Os-
car and RoseMpethaMemorial Lecture held
in Stellenboschs Kruiskerk.
During his Heritage Day speech on Mon-
dayinUpingtonhereferredtothechoirsren-
dition of the national anthemand traditional
songs.
The performance of the choir left all of us
spellbound. For the duration of the perform-
ance I was so engrossed in the proceedings
it escaped me that the choir, that was filling
the venue with a uniquely African experi-
ence through such masterful technique, was
actually predominantly white students sing-
ing African songs in indigenous languages.
Feelings of pride in being a SouthAfrican
gushed through me.
Motlanthe said that itwasat thatpoint that
he realised that South Africans indeed have
a common heritage. All we need is to make
an effort to embrace our diversity.
The memorial lecture was held for Oscar
and Rose Mpetha who devoted much of their
lives to the struggle for a free and democratic
South Africa.
Motlanthe focused on the challenges of
post-apartheid that included corruption.
It threatens to pull the rug fromunder the
highmoralclaimsof thedemocraticstate.Be-
cause the ideals of post-colonial society are
about delivering social justice, corruption
amounts to betrayal since it is usually prac-
tised by people in power or close to it. To suc-
ceed in this area, the democratic state can
learn from other matured democracies else-
where.
He referred to the state ofNewSouthWales
that came up with an exemplary initiative
called The Independent Commission
Against Crime of New South Wales which
speaks to the problem of corruption in state.
Corruption amounts to a gross lack of ca-
pacious moral responsibility on the part of
someof thosehistoricallycharged topave the
way for a human-centred society.
Motlanthe called on all to wage an all-out
war against corruption.

Rose Memorial Lecture in the Kruiskerk.

BILTONGMAKEROF THEYEAR: TOP 3 FINALISTS
Whosebiltong isbest?
T
he top three finalists for the
2012 Stellenbosch Hills Bil-
tongmakeroftheyearCompe-
tition have been announced.
They are, in alphabetical order:
FrikCrafford, fromWorcester, Jakes
van derMerwe fromMiddelburg and
Schalk van Deventer from Somerset
West.
Stellenbosch Hills was the first
cellar to combine two proudly South
African delights with our Biltong &
Wine Adventure to be enjoyed at our
cellar door. The art of drying meat
nowadays is as specialised as the art
of wine making. Our aim was to cre-
ate a competitionwhere two of South
Africas most popular products
wine and biltong could be com-
bined, says PG Slabbert, Winemak-
er and Manager at this cellar of this
exiting competition.
This years competition is much
bigger than previous years, especial-
ly as Freddy Hirsch, South Africas
foremost spice suppliers to the meat
industry, has signed up as sponsor.
TheBiltongMakerof theYearcompe-
titionhasproven tobeahuge success
since its inception four years ago.
Each year a different Stellenbosch
Hillswine is chosen to be the inspira-
tion for entrants.
The winners biltong must be the
best match for the chosen wine. This
year the choice of wine is the Stellen-
bosch Hills Shiraz 2007. The 54 en-
tries were tasted by a panel of 6 judg-
es: PG Slabbert, Stellenbosch Hills
cellar master, Philip Kriel, Stellen-
bosch Hills director & recreational
biltong maker, Jenny Morris, one of
South Africas favourite celebrity
chefs, Ilse Fourie, popular Mas-
terChef contestant, Sue Von Hirsch-
berg and Hermann Schultz.
Wechose topartner in theStellen-
bosch Hills annual competition as it
combines two of South Africas most
popular products, biltong and wine,
and this competition is ideal for bil-
tong makers to showcase their skills
to a broader audience said Deanne
Nicolau Group Marketing Manager
of Freddy Hirsch.
The winner will be announced on
19 October at an awards luncheon at
96 Winery Road. The first prize is
R15 000 cash as well as R15 000 worth
of products from Stellenbosch Hills
and Freddy Hirsch, the second prize
is R10 000 cash as well as the equiva-
lent in products and the third prize
is R5 000 cash and the equivalent in
products. The results were audited
by SDK Chartered Accountants.

Marco Zichella awards for olive oil
The 11th event for honouring the
late Marco Zichella, whose pas-
sion for olive oil inspired somany
South Africans to start producing
their own was held on 31 August.
Marcos wife Piera and daughter
Benedetta keep his memory alive
by hosting this fun-filled competi-
tion and awards evening.

creased steadily over the years as
the event is gaining more stature
and support. This year 26 entries
were received, and thismade for awonderful
evening of camaraderie, underpinned by the
exciting competitive spirit of each producer
believing his oil is best! And, as usual, all the
guests attending the evening were asked to
taste and vote for the Consumers Choice.
For the tasting panel, it proved once again
to be a tight contest, making it extremely dif-
ficult not to award at least 19 prizes. Being
a competition, only one prize was awarded
in each of the three categories, namely, deli-
cate, medium and intensely fruity. The prize
is a beautifully hand-painted ceramic plate
(by Papillon Blue), while certificates were
awarded to the oils obtaining second place
in each category and special mentions.

lades were:

Victory for Toyota in the 2012 Cape dealer rally
GEMMELLandSwan take secondwin
of the year and regain championship
lead with two rounds remaining.
Johnny Gemmell and Carolyn Swan
(CastrolTeamToyotaAuris)madeaspon-
sors dream come truewith victory in the
Toyota Cape Dealer Rally in the Western
Cape this afternoon.
It was their second win of the season
and in the process they regained the lead
in the SA Rally Championship.
They now enjoy a five-point advantage
with two rounds remaining over Mark
Cronj and Robin Houghton (Ford Fie-
sta), who finished third, 50 seconds in ar-
rears.
FormerchampionsEnzoKuunandGuy
Hodgson (VW Polo) were second, 45 se-
conds behind the winning Toyota pair.
Leading Toyota privateer andmultiple
Western Cape rally champion Jean-Pier-
re Damseaux and co-driver GrantMartin
(Team Total Auris) took full ad-
vantage of Damseauxs knowled-
ge of local conditions to finish
fifth overall behind the Ford Fie-
sta of Jon Williams and Cobus
Vrey.
The two-day rally, held over 13
special stages and some 180 kilo-
metres of forest and gravel roads
in theGrabouw andCaledon are-
as, featured the same head-to-
head battle be- tween Gemmell
and Cronj that has characteri-
sed most of the previous five
rounds and seen them win five
rallies between them and share
the podium on five occasions.
Gemmell and Swan, seeking a
first championship title, led at the end of
Fridays six special stages by 16 seconds
from Enzo Kuun and Guy Hodgson (VW
Polo) and by 54 seconds from Damseaux
and Martin.
They opened up their lead over Kuun
and Hodgson with each stage on Satur-
day, controlling the rally from the front,
before slowing their pace on the last of
the longgravel stagesasvictorywasassu-
red. Toyota Motorsport team-mates Gi-
niel de Villiers and Celeste Snyders (Im-
perial Toyota Auris) finished seventh
overall in their third event together.
Leeroy Poulter and Elvene Coetzee we-
re officially classified as finishing 19th
overall and 15th among the four-wheel-
drive S2000 cars in the second Castrol
Team Toyota Auris.
They were forced to retire on the fifth
stage on Friday when a sheared gearbox
input shaft prematurely ended their chal-
lenge for what was looking like a podium
finish.
Poulter recorded a number of top-four
stage times andwon the short, final stage
at the Caledon rugby club.
The next round of the championship is
the PolokwaneRally in Limpopo onOcto-
ber 6 and 7.

Tyre safety tips: follow these simple steps to ensure safety
TYRES are one of the most important
and often overlooked components of
our cars.
Tyres are the only thing that attach our
cars to the road, and tyre problems affect
your cars ride comfort, handling and sa-
fety. Here are some simple tire safety tips
tohelpkeepyouandyour cars occupants
safe.
Check your tyre pressure regularly.
Tyres tend to lose air over time. Buy
a digital tyre gauge and check your tyres
once a month and before a long trip. Pro-
per inflationpressurescanbe foundinyo-
ur owners manual or on a sticker on the
car.Remember to check tyre pressure on-
lyafter thecarhasbeensitting for several
hours inorder to ensure that the tyres are
cold. The friction of driving heats the ty-
res and increases pressure, which can hi-
de an under-inflated tyre.
Address under-inflated tyres immedia-
tely. An under-inflated tyre hasmore rol-
ling resistance, which increases fuel con-
sumption. It also creates more heat,
which can lead to tyre failure.
Dont forget the spare. Getting a flat ty-
re and discovering that your spare is also
flat is amiserable experience. Inspect yo-
ur spare as you would your other tyres.
If you have a compact spare, the inflation
pressure will usually be written on the
tyre. If your car comeswith a compressor
and/or flat repair kit in lieu of a spare,
check their operation regularly.
Check for tread depth. Check tread
depth by placing the edge of a penny upsi-
de-down into the grooves of the tyres
tread.
Never buy a single tyre - its best to re-
place two or all four tyres at once, but at
the very least they should be bought as
axle pairs (both fronts or both rears).
Rotating your tyres every 5000 to 10000
kmwill help ensure that all four tyreswe-
ar at the same rate.
Check for even wear. When you check
tread depth, check both the inside and
outside edge of the tyres.
Uneven tyre wear is usually a sign that
your car is out of alignment. Proper
alignment optimises handling and helps
prevent premature tyre wear.
Look for tyre damage. When you check
pressure, inspect the sides of the tyres for
nicks, bulges, cracks and cuts. Such da-
mage often cannot be repaired and will
require replacement of the tyre.
Stay balanced. If your car develops a vi-
bration (a back-and-forth vibration, usu-
ally felt through the steering wheel) at a
certain speed, its possible that one of yo-
ur tyres has lost its balance weight. Ha-
ving your tyres re-balanced is a fairly in-
expensive job.
Buy the right tyre for the job.Most cars
come with all-season tyres, the tyre equi-
valent of a jack-of-all-trades.
And most importantly: Never hesitate
to replace a worn or damaged tyre. Tyres
are not cheap, but they are vital to the sa-
fety of you and your cars occupants. Re-
member, the tyres are the only thing that
connect your car to the road. Advanced
safety features such as antilock brakes
and electronic stability control cant do
their life-savingjobswithout fourgoodty-
res.
Take care of your tyres because whe-
ther you know it or not, youre counting
on them to take care of you.

determine what is wrong with your tyres.

Hennie Groenewald storms towet racewin at Killarney
HENNIE GROENEWALD headlined
the Sasolracing Circuit Teams week-
end with an exceptional drive in tric-
ky, mixed conditions to claim a com-
manding win in the first race in the
Bridgestone Production Car Champi-
onship although various factors kept
the Subaru WRX STIs from maximi-
sing their race pace in the remaining
races.
Richard Pinard had a troubled week-
end in the secondWRX STI, finishing the
first of the three races.
Hennie started the weekend as the 6th
fastest driver in a wet session, working
his way up to the top of the timesheets
in the final session after finding a hand-
ling balance that suited his driving style.
Richardmissedmostof thedays running
as he flew in directly froma business trip
in Italy.
Richard had an exhaust come off du-
ring his timed run and had to settle for
10th on the grid.
The unpredictable Cape Townweather
sawsunshine turn to rain tenminutes be-
fore the start of race 1. In a frenetic dash
to turn one,Hennie slipped over the kerb,
but retained 2nd place.
By lap three, hewas hounding race lea-
derMichael Stephen and in an audacious
move, dived past the Audi at the tight Ca-
pe Town corner, taking the Sasolracing
Subaru around the outside of his rival.
Over the remaining laps, Hennie built up
a solid two second lead.
Race two saw a top four grid inversion
and in the typically tight pack,Hennie ga-
ve Tschops Sipuka the slightest nudge.
Although there was no external damage,
a chassismember severed the turboboost
pipe and Hennie was forced to pit.
Richard had a great fight with Johan
Fourie in the opening race until gear se-
lector problems intervened and he circu-
latedto the finish. Inrace two,hewasuna-
ble to use second gear and was forced to
retire.
In race three, starting from the back of
the grid as he didnt set a time in race two
which determines race three positions,
Hennie was quickly into his stride and
passed his first rival at the first corner.
As the German marques tripped over
each other in the jostling pack, Hennie
slipped through into 3rd place at corner
two. The water temperature almost im-
mediately rocketed off the gauge and fluc-
tuated alarmingly, so Hennie wisely cal-
led it a day to save the engine.
Richard started race three in the T-car
which hadnt received the level of prepa-
ration as the race cars and started tomis-
fire midway through the race and he too
opted to save the engine and pulled out
of the race.
