TONNE tee op die Honeybush-teeplaas in Louterwater is Maandaginvlammevernietignadat ’n “oproerige voormaligewerker”nabew-ering ’n brand hier gestig het.

Volgens Johan Kritzinger, direkteur van Honeybush-tee, beloopdie brandskade aan dié Langkloof-plaas bykans R2 miljoen.Johan is deur anderwerkers in die vroeë oggendure gister na buite

geroep toe die vlamme glo aan die sinkstoor gelek het.“Ek kan nie seker sê nie, maar ’n voormalige werker het wel ver-

ledeweek gedreig ommy stoor aan die brand te steek,” sê ’n ontstokeKritzinger.“Daai gebou [wat aan die brand gesteek is] is van sink. Daar

is geen manier dat die gebou vanself aan die brand kan raaknie.”’n Gedeelte van die sinkgebou (se inhoud) kon ten minste gered

word voordat dit tot op die grond afgebrand het. Ál die gedroogtetee is egter met rook deurtrek en “kan nou afgeskryf word”.“Dit is maklik R2 miljoen se skade dié,” sê Kritzinger.Maandagoggend se voorval was glo net één van bykans ’n week

se onluste op dié teeplaas.’n Werker is glo in Augustus ná herhaalde samesprekings weens

swak prestasie afgedank, en het glo verlede week Donderdag by dieteeplaas opgedaag.“Dié werker het voor gehardloop, met sowat 30 van my werkers

wat hulle by hom geskaar het,” vertel Kritzinger.“Die stakers het die kantore binnegekom en die res van die werk-

ers aangerand wat nie saam wou staak nie.Die afgelope Vrydag is ’n stapel kratte by die stoor aan die brand

gesteek, maar die vlamme kon geblus word voordat enige skade gelyis.”Lt. Gerda Swart, polisiewoordvoerder, sê ’n saak van brandstig-

ting word ondersoek.

DIE leser herleef die slag tussen Dawid en Goliat - ’n inferno vanwanhoop, waar die Israelite desperaat retireer terwyl die filistynese oorlogskreet oor die veld weergalm.

Tot alles in ’n oogwink verander . . .Met sy jongste boekMy Vriend, My Broer vertel sakeman, berader

en skrywer Louis Rautenbach in eenvoudige taal van een van diemees dramatiese en vernederende nederlae in die filistyne se geskie-denis.

Volgens Rautenbach is die boek geïnspireer deur sy geloof in Goden vriendskapervarings in sy lewe.

“My boek vertel Dawid se lewensverhaal - van sy jare in die veldas ’n herder, sy hegte vriendskap met paleisprins Jonatan en sy leweas die nuwe verkose koning van Israel,” sê Rautenbach.

Elk van sy vorige drie boeke het ’n verskuilde boodskap onderdie oppervlak en sit die leser aan die dink - dié boek is nie ’n uitson-dering nie.

“Die storie is een van geloof, hoop, liefde en positiewe ingesteld-heid. Niemand is te gering nie, almal kan oorwinning behaal,” sêRautenbach. “MyVriend,MyBroer handel verder oor die belangrikerol wat ’n moeder in ’n gesin speel. As ’n man suksesvol wil wees,kan hy nie alleen loop nie. Sy vrou moet hom ondersteun en hullemoet die mekaar help dra.”

Volgens Rautenbach is die boek ideaal vir die hele gesin en kanvan die een familielid na die ander aangegee word om te lees.

Rautenbach, wat al verskeie kortverhale in druk het, het vyf jaarterug genoeg moed bymekaar geskraap om sy eerste boek aan te pak.My Vriend, My Broer is die vierde pennevrug van Rautenbach. Syvyfde boek, Die Kruik, gaan vandeesmaand na die uitgewers en hyis reeds met die skryf van sy volgende boek besig.

Sy boeke Oorsprong van Smarte, Spieëlsplinters en Soveel Jare isin 2014 bekendgestel.

Vir meer inligting of om een van sy boeke te bestel, skakel Rauten-back by 072 661 0066 of besoek sy webtuiste www.louisbrauten-bach.com.

. Louis Rautenbach werk voltyds in ’n finansiële spesialiteitsvelden is deeltyd by geestelike werk betrokke. Hy het kwalifikasies inteologie en sielkundige berading. Hy is betrokke by geestelike berad-ing en begeleiding met sy bediening wat hom soms na die gevangenisneem.

THE lovely Church of St Francis of Assisi inHumansdorp received an interior facelift -getting the Michelangelo treatment from in-ternational interior designer andartist, Carelvan der Westhuizen.

The project involved the creation of a mag-nificent three-dimensional land- and sky-scape mural at the rear of the sanctuary, thecreation of sandstone walls and architraveson both sides of the sanctuary and at variousother locations in the church, as well as thepainting of incredibly detailed three-dimen-sional murals. These murals alongside themosaics of theSacredHeart andOurLady, ap-pears to have been carved from sandstone.

“This vast project was completed in just 12days. Van der Westhuizen worked up to 18hours a day to get it completed in time for thecelebration of the fourth anniversary of thededication of St Francis of Assisi Church onDecember 18, and of course, theChristmas fes-tivities,” says Parish secretary Frank Nunan.

“This project, the dream and vision of ourpastor Fr Paul Fahy, was conceived some

HENGEL word voorlopig nie meer in die landse oudste marine bewaringsgebied, die Tsitsi-kamma Nasionale Park, toegelaat nie.

Die Noord-Gautengse Hooggeregshof inPretoria het Vrydag die ooreenkoms bekrag-tig wat Vriende van Tsitsikamma met die De-

partement van Omgewingsake, SANParke endie Tsitsikamma-hengelforum gesluit het.

Hengel is sedert 15 Desember as deel van’n aanvoorprojek toegelaat.

Hoë hof verbied hengel in dié park

ROSLYN BAATJIES

DIE internasionale popster en aktrise Be-yoncé beoog glo om ’n draaiboek oor die lewevan Sarah Baartman te skryf en self die rolvan die ikoniese Khoisan-vrou te vertolk.

Maar as Beyoncé Knowles die rol van die‘heldin van die Gamtoos’ in ’n fliek wil ver-tolk, sal haar planne eers moet wag totdatdaar met die plaaslike gemeenskap in ge-sprek getree is.

Kobus Reichert, die Gamtkwa Khoisan-

raad se erfenisverteenwoordiger, sê dit isoneerbiedig om nie met ’n gemeenskap tekonsulteer wanneer buitestanders plannemaak om die lewe van ’n ikoon vas te lê nie.

“Maar om nie die gemeenskap te konsul-teer wanneer planne gemaak word om ’nfliek vanhierdie aard temaaknie, is ’n te-kenvan geen respek teenoor daardie gemeen-skap nie. Sarah Baartman is ’n nasio-nale ik-oon en só ’n besluit en rolprent raak alleKhoisan-gemeenskappe dwarsoor die land.’’

’n Belangegroep in die Wes-Kaap, Daugh-ters of Krotoa, het ’n brief aan Knowles ge-

skryf en haar gevra om konsultasie methulle te versoek sodat “die fliek positiwiteitmoet weerspieël en nie Mama Sarah in ’nslegte lig plaas nie’’.

Die provinsiale hoof van die Kaapse Khoien hoof van die Damasqua, Xam#Gaob Ma-leiba, meen die kontekswaarin hierdie fliekgemaak gaan word, is belangrik.

“Hulle moet die geld wat uit hierdie fliekgemaak word, gee vir die eerste inheemsemense wat nog steeds ly onder neokolonia-lisme, as ’n manier om vergifnis te vra.’’

Trevor Thys, ’n inwoner van King Wil-

liam’s TownvirwieKhoi- en San-belange naaan die hart lê, meen dat flieks oor plaaslikemense groot aftrek kry wanneer daar inter-nasionale spelers in die hoofrolle is.

“Die opbrengs daarvanmoet gebruik wordom ’n beurs te skep.’’

Sarah Baartman was ’n Khoi-vrou wat indie vroeë 19de eeu ’n groot aantreklikheidby ’n fratsvertoning in Europa geword hetweens haar groot agterstewe. Haar oorskotis byna twee eeue ná haar dood na Suid-Afri-ka teruggestuur en Hankey het in 2002 haarfinale rusplek geword.

Popster en aktrise Beyoncé speel dalk Baartman in fliek

years ago when Fr Fahy met Van der West-huizen at the home of long-time mutualfriends, Veronica and the late Terry Witts-tock, in Knysna.

“Earlier this year, during one of Van derWesthuizen’s visits to Knysna, Wittstockbrought him to Humansdorp to see the churchand he immediately saw the potential. He sayshehad long felt theneed to give somethingbackin thanksgiving for his God-given talents, anddecided this was going to be the project - hisgift to the Kouga Catholic Community.”

VanderWesthuizen says hewas “not alone”during this project - that he was constantlyguided and inspired by the Holy Spirit.

He began his career as an architectural stu-dent, inspired by his architect dad, who sadlypassed away when he was 14.

“I could draw a complete set of house plansby the time I was 16,” says Van der Westhuiz-en. It was in those early years that he realisedthat he had a huge artistic talent - and madeanother, not so pleasant discovery - he is com-pletely dyslexic, experiencing great difficultywith reading andwriting. “I realised then that

I was destined to express myself visually.”Following his military service, during

which he was employed in the army architec-tural unit, he changed direction slightly andbecame a theatrical set designer, working forthe Roodepoort Municipal Theatre for 13years, during which time he was involved inthe production of 39 operas.

He thenmoved into interior design, and aft-er having worked on a number of projects inSouthAfrica, was invited to collaborate on aninterior design commission in the UnitedStates.

He eventually acquiredhisGreenCard, andUS Citizenship, and now operates out of Mi-ami, Florida, under the name of Carel WestDesign Studio. He returns to South Africa ona regular basis to undertake design assign-ments.

“The Kouga Catholic Community is hon-oured and privileged to have been the recipi-ents of such a magnificent gift, and will beeternally grateful to Van der Westhuizen andWittstock for the unique legacy they left us,”says Nunan.

PUBLIC NOTICE

URS 18301www.ursonline.co.za

NAME OF NEW MUNICIPALITY (AMALGAMATION OF BAVIAANS,CAMDEBOO AND IKWEZI LOCAL MUNICIPALITIES)

Members of the public are hereby notified of and invited to comment on/object tothe outcomes of the public hearings on the naming of the new municipality whichwill be formed as a result of the amalgamation of Baviaans, Camdeboo and Ikwezilocal municipalities.

All stakeholders and communities in the three local municipalities were encouragedto submit proposed names for the new municipality. A media release was issuedand an advertisement was placed in newspapers circulating in the area, callingfor proposals for a suitable name for the new municipality. The advertisementappeared in these newspapers on the 20th November 2015. The media releasewas shared with media houses and also on the respective municipal websites andsocial media platforms.

A series of public hearings, ward meetings and stakeholder engagements wereheld in all wards in the three local municipalities in November 2015 in order toreceive proposals for the name of the new municipality.

Stakeholders were given a number of guiding principles to consider whenproposing a name, viz:

• Consideration of an Icon of that municipal area which could be representative ofthe democratic dispensation that seeks to promote national unity and cohesion;

• A geographical feature that seeks to embrace the diverse cultures, and in doingso, shape people’s national character;

• It could be a well thought out name that facilitates healing, upholding symbolicrestitution;

• The name should seek to unite people of the new municipality; or

• A name that has potential to bring investment and promote tourism.

A total of 649 proposals for a name were received from stakeholders of the threemunicipalities. After reviewing all the submissions, the Name Change Committee,which comprises of members of the three local municipalities, reached consensuson the following name:

Karoo Mohair Local Municipality

This decision was supported by the Political Change Management Committee.

Members of the public are invited to submit their comments/objections in writingby no later than Friday, 22 January 2016 to any of the following addresses.Comments and objections can also be sent by email:

• Sarah Baartman District Municipality, Standard Bank Building, 32 Govan MbekiAvenue, Port Elizabeth, 6001 (lnance@sbdm.co.za).

GARDEN ROUTE BIOSPHERE RESERVE

An initiative is underway to submit an application to the United Nations

Environmental, Scientific and Cultural Organisation's Man and Biosphere

Programme (UNESCO MAB) to have the Garden Route Biosphere

Reserve designated as part of theWorld Network of BiosphereReserves.

east and will be mapped into core areas (legally protected areas such

as National and Provincial Parks); buffer areas (surrounding core areas

providing support to the core areas and allowing for low impact

activities); and transition area (urban and transformed). Within each of

these areas, the three functions of biosphere reserves must take place:

conservation of biodiversity and ecological processes; sustainable

socio-economic development; research, monitoring, education,

awareness, and innovation.
