    @dezzierorke

    D

    it blyk asof bejaardes in die Wes-Kaap

    tansmagteloos staan teenmisdaadsin-

    dikate wat hulle deur middel van Sas-

    sa-debietkaartbedrog besteel.

    Die sindikateword tans opdiehoogste re-

    geringsvlak ondersoek en ons hoop dat daar

    eersdaags arrestasies gemaak gaan word,

    het dr.Waldie Terblanche, hoof van Sassa in

    die Wes-Kaap, tydens n telefoniese onder-

    houd aan TygerBurger ges.

    Hy kon egter nie uitbrei oor die vordering

    met die ondersoek nie.

    Terblanche en n Sassa-afvaardiging het

    sowat 300 bejaardes verlede Woensdag in

    Kraaifontein by n openbare vergadering

    toegespreek. Honderde bejaardes word glo

    maandeliks besteel deur die gewetenlose

    sindikate wat groot aftrekkings van hul

    reeds karige pensioene maak.

    Volgens Terblanche is meer as 200 sulke

    aftrekkings sedert die begin van Februarie

    vanjaar aangemeld. Ons weet nie presies

    hoe hulle die bejaardes se inligting verkry

    nie, maar vermoed dat hulle hulself voor-

    doen as Sassa-werknemers en die bejaardes

    skakelmet stroopstories omhul persoonlike

    inligting te verkry, s Terblance.

    Met di inligting verkry hulle dan toegang

    tot die Sassa-debietkaarte. Terblanche ver-

    duidelik dat die debietkaartfasiliteit die be-

    jaarde die geleentheid gebied het om vooraf-

    betaalde elektrisiteit en lugtyd te koop, wat

    dan van hul kaarte afgetrek word.

    Die sindikate koop sodoende derduisen-

    de rande se elektrisiteit en lugtyd wat hulle

    dan herverkoop, s Terblanche.

    Baie van die bejaardes by die vergadering

    het al deurgeloop. Volgens een vrou word

    daar maandeliks sowat R250 van haar pen-

    sioen van R1 400 afgetrek, glo vir lugtyd.

    Die vermeende moordenaar wat die

    tienervriendinne, NikitaHolly enKes-

    hia Manuel, verlede jaar koelbloedig

    doodgeskiet het, is Donderdagaand

    deur die Kraaifontein-polisie in Bell-

    ville aangekeer.

    Hy het Vrydagoggend in die Kuilsri-

    vier-landdroshof verskyn waar sy

    borgaansoek uitgestel is na 26 Februa-

    rie. Volgens brig. Gerda van Niekerk,

    aanklagte van moord en drie van po-

    ging tot moord.

    Saterdag het die

    Kraaifonteinbrandweer

    die kinders van

    Kingdom Kidsklub

    genooi om te kom leer

    hoe om brande te

    bestry. Die kinders was

    uit hul nate van

    opgewondenheid om

    die brandweerwaens

    van nader te bekyk.

    Die klub is n filiaal van

    n plaaslike kerk in

    Scottsdene, Word

    Impact Faith Ministry.

    Alles geleer om brande te bestry

    Almal het n beurt

    gekry om die brand

    slang vas te hou.

    VERVOLG VAN BLADSY 1

    Maar ek besit nie eers n selfoon nie!

    Wat word vanmy geld en wie gaan kos

    op my tafel sit? vra sy.

    Haar pleidooi is deur tientalle ander

    bejaardes beaam.

    Terblanche het die bejaardes ver-

    soek om klagtes aanhangig te maak.

    Hy het bejaardes ook versoek omnie

    enige inligting telefonies aan soge-

    noemde Sassa-beamptes te gee nie.

    Moet ook nie eens die deur oop-

    maak vir persone wat aan jou voor-

    deur klop en s hulle is van Sassa nie,

    het hy ges.

    Sassa-werknemers sal slegs skakel

    om n afspraak temaak omhulle by die

    Sassa-kantore te kom sien en sal nooit

    persoonlike inligting vra nie.

    In n onderhoud met TygerBurger

    het Terblanche ges dat Sassa teen

    April 2017 hul eie uitbetalings gaan be-

    hartig. Die huidige diensverskaffer,

    CPS (CashPaymasterServices), se ten-

    der is verlede jaar deur die konstitusi-

    onele hof ongeldig verklaar as gevolg

    van sekere ongerymdhede tydens die

    tenderproses. Die ongeldigheid is eg-

    ter opgeskort tot die kontrak in Maart

    2017 tot n einde kom.

    Ons het verlede jaar n nuwe tender

    uitgesit, maar daar was geen sukses-

    volle kandidate nie; daarom gaan ons

    die uitbetalings self behartig.

    Terblanche het bejaardes ook ge-

    waarskuomversigtig teweeswanneer

    finansile instellings begrafnispolisse

    aan hulle wil verkoop.

    Intussen het Albert Fritz, LUR van

    die departement van maatskaplike

    ontwikkeling in die Wes-Kaap, n be-

    roep op Sassa gedoen om dadelik die

    onregmatige aftrekkings te staak.

    Sassa moet ieder en elke klag on-

    dersoek en optree, s hy.

    Dis weer basaartyd vir die NGKerk Sonstraal

    op Saterdag 27 Februarie.

    Dit word by die Privaatskool Curro in Mo-

    mento-rylaan, Durbanville aangebied en be-

    A

    n avid nature conservationist and

    Miss Earth South Africa ambassador

    Andrea von Gunten, originally from

    Durbanville, is planning to cycle 109km in

    the upcoming Cape Town Cycle Tour to col-

    lect one tree per kilometre covered.

    Andrea, who attended primary and high

    school in Durbanville, but now lives in Ke-

    nilworth, challenges cyclists and support-

    ers to donate or sponsor a tree for this im-

    portant cause.

    Thiswill bemy third Argus that Imrid-

    ing and I thought instead of just riding it,

    why not ride it for a cause, she says.

    All the trees will be planted at schools in

    underprivileged communities, community

    centres, old age homes or any place in the

    Western Cape that needs greening and up-

    liftment.

    This project is about bringing communi-

    ties and people together and I want to be an

    example that you can take any ordinary

    event and turn it into something extraordi-

    nary. Small initiatives like this can turn in-

    to something great and thats what I hope

    to achieve with this, she says.

    She will be cycling with her father, Peter

    von Gunten, and her sister, Melanie. My

    dad has always been my inspiration as this

    is his 15th Cape Town Cycle Tour. He is the

    reason my sister and I are cycling today.

    Only indigenous trees such asWild Olive,

    Grevias, Virgilia Oroboides and fruit trees

    will be suitable. Suggestions of schools or

    organisations that are in need of greening

    are also welcome.

    Die polisie in Goodwood wil motorhande-

    laarswaarsku teen nnuwemodusoperandi

    watmotordiewe gebruik ommotors by han-

    delaars te steel.

    Volgens lt. Wayne Theunis, polisiewoord-

    voerder, nader twee verdagtes die motor-

    handelaars om glo n motor te koop.

    Volgens ons inligtingbesoek nverdagte,

    in sy sestigs, die handelaar met die oog om

    n voertuig te koop. Tydens die onderhande-

    linge sal die verdagte die kattebak meet om

    kamstig te kyk of sy gholfstokke daarin pas.

    Hierna vra die verdagte of hy diemotor kan

    toetsbestuur.

    n Tweede verdagte kom dan op daardie

    oomblik en vra die verkoopsman vir baie

    belangrike dokumente en wanneer die ver-

    koopsman kantoor toe gaan, klim die twee

    fontein en een in Tableview toegeslaan.

    Die ouens raak elke dag slimmer en sal

    enigiets probeer om hul hande op motors te

    kry. Handelaars moet nie so hard probeer

    ommotors van die hand te sit dat hulle ver-

    geet om die kopers ordentlik dop te hou nie.

    Motordiewe lyk nie noodwendig soos n

    gewone straatboef nie en is baie gesofisti-

    keerd.Onswil n beroep doen ophandelaars

    om nie vir een oomblik die sleutels van die

    motor aan n moontlike klint te oorhandig

    sonder om toesig te hou nie.

    wee Kraaifontein-skole het koning ge-

    kraai in dieATKV se nasionaleHande-

    vat-kompetisie vir 2015 en weer eens

    daardeur bewys dat Suid-Afrika se ren-

    boogstorie nog lank nie sy kleur verloor het

    nie.

    Die Horskool Monumentpark en die Pri-

    mre Skool AME Kraaifontein is Vrydag

    amptelik aangewys as die nasionale kampi-

    oene vir 2015 en het prysgeld vanR30 000 elk

    ontvang.

    Di projek se naam beskryf sy doelstel-

    lings perfek: dat n bevoorregte skool, in di

    geval Horskool Monumentpark, hande

    vat met n minderbevoorregte skool om

    laasgenoemde se omstandighede volhou-

    baar te verander.

    Winnie Viljoen, n onderwyser by die Ho-

    erskool Monument Park en die projekleier,

    vertel meer. Nadat ons twee skole aan die

    begin van 2015 besluit het om aan die kom-

    petisie deel te neem, moes ons eerstens be-

    paal waar die behoefte l om n projekplan

    uiteen te sit en aan die ATKV voor te l.

    Maatskaplike dienste, met die fokus op

    kindermishandeling, is as die grootste be-

    hoefte by AME gedentifiseer.

    OmdatMonumentpark oor hul eie maat-

    skaplike werker beskik wat deur die skool

    self besoldig word, het ons besluit dat daar

    s n verskil gemaak kan word, s Viljoen

    Die ATKV het die groen lig gegee en vin-

    nig is n span bymekaar gebring, wat lede

    van die leerlingraad en die horskool se ge-

    meenskapsdiensorganisasie, #HeroesRoar,

    ingesluit het. In die daaropvolgende jaarhet

    uiteenlopende programme en aksies groot

    verandering meegebring in die gemeen-

    skappe. Onderwysers en leerderleiers het

    opleiding ontvang oor bewusmaking van

    kindermishandeling, terwyl gemeenskaps-

    betrokkenheid aangemoedig is. Op 16 Junie

    het tien omliggende skole n optog gehou na

    die Kraaifontein-polisiekantoor en n dra-

    ma wat mishandeling uitbeeld, is aan die

    hele Primre SkoolAMEKraaifontein opge-

    voer. Verder is pamflette met inligting oor

    mishandeling en kontaknommers aan leer-

    ders by AME uitgedeel, s Viljoen.

    Daar is selfs n traumahoekie en trauma-

    fonds by die skool geskep. Hiervoor het die

    ATKV R3 000 beskikbaar gestel.

    Viljoen s die projekte het beide skole

    deur die loop van die jaar baie besig gehou

    om groot suksesse te behaal.

    Op 19 Januarie het die finale beoordeling

    plaasgevind.

    Beoordelaars het na die skool gekom om

    die projek self te beleef en n n kort verwel-

    koming het almal naAMEbeweeg, waar die

    res van die beoordeling plaasgevind het.

    Diewonderlike nuus oor diewenvennoot-

    skap is kort daarna ontvang.

    Viljoen s hulle is in die wolke en dat die

    oorwinning verreikende gevolge gehad het.

    Almal betrokke by die projek het per-

    soonlike groei ondervind. Daar is nuwe be-

    tekenis gevind in die belangrikheid van ge-

    meenskapsbetrokkenheid. Die prysgeld

    gaanbaie gate toestop,maarmeerbelangrik

    vir ons almal was die lesse wat ons daaruit

    geleer het. Die was alles die moeite werd.

    ESM ERASMUS

    @erasmusesme

    T

    he Western Cape Education Depart-

    ment (WCED) is investigating a tutor

    centre in Durbanville, which former

    parents and an ex-facilitator claim is run as

    a school, but not registered as such.

    The Study Xpress tutor centre, which

    opened in January last year on the corner

    of De Villiers and Wellington roads, caters

    for about 80 children fromGradeR tomatric

    all children who could not be accommo-

    dated inmainstreamschools or do not bene-

    fit from a mainstream environment.

    The centre makes use of the private Im-

    pak curriculum and is accredited as an Im-

    pak centre. The cost for a Grade 10 learner

    is around R3200 per month.

    However, according to the School Act,

    home-schooling must take place primarily

    at the childs home, or the centremust regis-

    ter as an independent school with the de-

    partment and adhere to a whole lot of re-

    quirements regarding space, design and fa-

    cilities.

    The managing director of Study Xpress,

    Ivan Grobler, told TygerBurger the centre

    was not operating as a school and no formal

    classes were presented. The learners follow

    a home-schooling programme and only at-

    tend the centre every day between 08:30 and

    13:00 for assistance by facilitators.

    Advertised as school

    This isnot true, saidNatashaRheeders,

    a former parent who also worked as a facili-

    tator at the centre.

    She tookherGrade 10 sonout of the centre

    in the first week of February. At least seven

    more learners left the centre in the first

    week of February.

    You can walk in at any time and find

    foundation phase children being taught in

    a classroom set-up. Lessons areworked out.

    We received letters that the hours are

    08:00 to 13:00 and there are even two breaks.

    Of course this is formal teaching, she said.

    Parents who enrol their children there,

    are already desperate. When I moved to

    Cape Town in themiddle of last year, we ap-

    plied to four high schools, but they were all

    full, said Rheeders. I had no alternative

    but to consider home-schooling. I came

    across Study Xpress, which advertised

    themselves as a school on their Facebook

    page and in their correspondence to me.

    Their mandate states they can facilitate

    any of the subjects on the list offered by the

    Impak curriculum.They further invitedme

    to a meeting to explain to me that my son

    will be getting better than private school

    education.

    So, I ended up at Study Xpress not only

    as a parent, but also as one of their facilita-

    tors. I attended a two-week training session

    togetherwithother facilitators, andalready

    during this time I had my doubts.

    Merely a facilitator

    During the training itwas hammered in-

    to theheads of facilitators that StudyXpress

    wasmerely a facilitator and childrenmust

    learn to work on their own.

    Whilst this is the basis of home-school-

    ing, it is not what they offer and charge for.

    Parents are told that they are getting

    one-on-one tutoring with facilities that

    have state of the art equipment and quali-

    fied tutors in each subject area. This is not

    true. There are no tutors that can facilitate

    any technical subjects.

    According to Rheeders the building holds

    more children and adults than the health

    department would allow and does not have

    enough ventilation. There are also only two

    toilets on the premises.

    This facility is also catering for children

    with medical needs, such as those being on

    medication for ADD andADHD. There is al-

    so a special needs child in Grade 1, with no-

    body at the centre being qualified or trained

    to deal with such children, she said.

    Rheeders said she decided to take her son

    out and resignedas facilitator after she real-

    ised that the level of teaching was not up to

    standard.

    Another former parent at the centre,

    Rene Herbst, said she took her son out of

    a public school in August 2015 as she was

    impressed with the Study Xpress offer and

    wanted the best for her son.

    They later told me that I misunderstood

    the part about them ever tutoring they

    merely offer facilitation.

    I started tomistrust their system and de-

    cided to investigate. Two weeks into the

    first term, my son still didnt have certain

    subjects; there was no teacher for EGD, a

    brand new subject; there was no mobile

    physics unit as promised.

    When his facilitator left, its was the last

    straw and I removed my son and enrolled

    him in Abbotts. He had to catch up and had

    extra lessons every day since he started, be-

    cause he was so far behind.

    According to Grobler he was busy with a

    legal process with both the former parents.

    Not everybodywill fit inwith our centre.

    We cannot keep everybody happy, he said.

    He added that the foundation phase will

    move to a new building opposite the centre

    on 1 April.

    . At the time of going to press TygerBur-

    ger was still waiting for formal comment

    from the WCED.

    e aware your wallet and cellphone

    are not yet safe once you have reached

    the pay point at a supermarket with-

    out being the victim of a theft.

    A wallet was stolen out of a customers

    trolley at a pay point in Checkers Durban-

    ville lastWednesdayaround 16:50 by awom-

    an who pushed through the rather narrow

    till point behind her back.

    I was unpacking my groceries out of the

    trolley baskets when this woman rudely

    pushed through the pay point behind my

    back. Shortly after I noticed my wallet was

    missing.

    Two ofmy cards were found lying on the

    floor close to where my trolley was. It must

    have fallen out when she grabbedmywallet

    from the basket of my trolley, the victim

    said.

    I had my cellphone in the pocket of my

    pants and claspedmywallet undermy arm,

    but had to put it down in a basket at the

    pay point to free my hands to unpack my

    groceries, she said.

    Video footage

    On the video footage one can clearly see

    that the suspect is holding my wallet in her

    left hand and also walks through the till

    point with a strip of chocolate sweets in her

    right hand held up for all to see.

    This she puts downat the end of the adja-

    cent till (where the plastic bags are kept)

    and walks off with my wallet.

    It struck me immediately after the inci-

    dent that under the circumstances the cash-

    ier acted rather strangely and I suspect that

    she as involved as well.

    Firstly, how could she not see that the

    woman was walking through the pay point

    with anunpaid item (the strip of chocolates)

    in her hand, and why did she not attempt

    to stop her?

    Secondly, it seemed she tried to delay the

    discovery of my stolen wallet. She made no

    attempt to assist or try to assist packingmy

    groceries, which would have been normal

    under the circumstances as I was then al-

    ready searching for my wallet.

    I also suspect that the cashier has some-

    thing to dowith theKinder Joy sweetwhich

    endedupamongmygroceries to further dis-

    tract me. The Kinder Joy sweets were dis-

    played on the till counter, but my groceries

    were far away enough not to get mixed up.

    She was also the only one close enough to

    push one of the sweets amongmy groceries,

    as I was on the other side of my trolley.

    Investigation started

    She said themanager at the time,Lourens

    Botha, said people walk through the pay

    point past customers all the time.

    Sarita van Wyk, spokesperson for Shop-

    rite Checkers, said they have started an in-

    vestigation and looked at the video footage,

    but have at that stage no reason to suspect

    the involvement of the cashier.

    Unfortunately it is a reality today that

    such incidents happen in supermarkets,

    restaurants and theatres. It is not possible

    to keep an eye on all people, she said.

    Van Wyk did not answer questions on

    how many cases of theft were recently re-

    ported at Checkers Durbanville.

    According to Colonel Theo Fisher of the

    Durbanville police, not many cases of theft

    inside supermarkets are reported. Howev-

    er, he warned people tomake sure they lock

    their vehicles as remote jamming is rife in

    parking areas at supermarkets.

    n Monday morning seven robust cy-

    clists took to the road in Brackenfell

    to end in Oudtshoorn next week after

    a gruelling 470km journey.

    Joining the cyclists from the Mountain

    View Cycling Club from Goodwood Correc-

    tional Services is Jody Adams, a youngman

    with Down Syndrome.

    Their mission: to raise money for the

    cause and celebrate 40 years of awareness of

    this condition in the Western Cape.

    TheDownSyndromeAssociationWestern

    Cape (DSAWC) was formed in 1976 to pro-

    vide support and services to people with

    Down Syndrome (DS) and other similar in-

    tellectual disabilities, and their families.

    Our programmes are aimed at improving

    their quality of life in order to help them find

    their purpose in life.

    We want people with DS to develop to

    their full potential to take their rightful

    place in society as independent and valued

    citizens, says organisation spokesperson

    Liza Rossouw.

    For the past 16 years DSAWC has been the

    beneficiary of the money raised by the

    Mountain View Cycling Club on their annu-

    al cycle tour to Oudtshoorn.

    The group of 10, which includes support

    staff, will stop at various towns along the

    route to create awareness for DS.

    This is done through visits to schools,

    churches and corporates along theway,who

    all participate and support this event.

    An aspiring singer in his own right, Jody

    will be singing at some of the schools they

    visit.

    This year is a very special year for

    DSAWCaswe are celebrating our 40th birth-

    day. The cycle tour will be the first of many

    events during the year.Wewant to thank all

    the schools, businesses and individuals who

    have participated over the past 16 years.

    Without your support the success of this an-

    nual cycle tour would not be possible. And

    of course we also want to thank the Moun-

    tain View Cycle Club for their commitment

    and continuous support with this annual

    event.

    Rossouw invites the public to participate

    and join in the 40-year celebrations through-

    out this year.

    DESIRE RORKE

    @dezzierorke

    S

    ome 52 000 counterfeit DVDs and

    CDs were destroyed in Brackenfell

    onFriday by the Films andPublica-

    tion Board (FPB).

    The confiscated goods, connected to 46

    criminal cases, were accumulated in the

    Western Cape over a period of about four

    months. Piles and piles of counterfeit

    goodsweremanually fed into aheavy-du-

    ty shredder in Brackengate Industrial

    Park.

    In an interview with TygerBurger, the

    FPBregional coordinator forCapeTown,

    CliveBorman, explained the detrimental

    affect the counterfeit market has on the

    film and entertainment industry.

    The industry loses millions of rand

    annually.

    The goods being destroyed here today

    account for a R5 million loss; we do this

    quarterly, he said.

    Take for instance the latest Leon Schu-

    ster film, Schuks! Pay Back The Money!

    Before themoviewas released in 2015,

    there were literally hundreds of pirated

    copies available on street corners in

    Cape Town for between R10 and R20 a

    copy. Due to the extent of the big scale

    piracy, local producers, actors, artists

    and employees involved in the produc-

    tion of this film suffered huge losses, he

    says.

    Why would consumers pay R200 for

    the movie at say Musica or up to R55 to

    view the movie only once at the cinema?

    And therein lies the problem, says Bor-

    man.

    As long as there is a demand, the un-

    ending supply will continue, costing the

    industrybillions.The sameapplies to the

    countless video shops that have closed

    down in Cape Town in recent years.

    Consumers wont pay to hire it if they

    can own it for half the price.

    Sadly, the economic ramifications on

    the country in terms of job losses are dev-

    astating.

    In recent years, says Borman, the ma-

    jority of perpetrators selling pirated ma-

    terial were foreigners coming into South

    Africa looking to make a quick buck.

    Although the FPB has its own compli-

    ance unit, they dont have arresting

    rights, says Borman, and therefor they

    have to work in joint operationswith the

    police and Cape Town law enforcement

    units.

    Counterfeiters will download themov-

    ie from the internet and go intomass pro-

    duction at so-called counterfeit produc-

    tion houses around the city.

    Its during clampdown operations at

    these houseswhere the counterfeit items

    are confiscated.

    In terms of the Counterfeit Goods Act

    perpetrators are fined up to R5000 per

    item or a prison term for three years, or

    both. In the case of second or third con-

    victions, the fine in respect of each item

    can be up to R10 000 or five years impris-

    onment.

    Secure complex not always safe

    DESIRE RORKE

    An apartment in Georgian

    Palms, a supposedly secure

    complex in Kruispad, was the

    latest target in a crowbar break-

    in.

    According to Warrant Officer

    Erica Crous, spokesperson of

    the Brackenfell Police Station,

    the resident left for work early

    in themorning on the day of the

    incident last week.

    When he arrived later that

    evening he found his apartment

    had been broken into, she said.

    Crous said the burglars had

    gained access to the home by

    breaking open the front door.

    Georgian Palms is situated in

    Kruispad, in close proximity to

    Bottelary Road, where much

    new development had taken

    place in recent years.

    Crous said crime usually in-

    creases in areas where develop-

    ment takes place, but that this

    area is not a hotspot at present.

    Living in a secure complex

    does not automatically render

    you safe. We are all potential

    victims of crime.

    Wenever knowwhenwewill

    be targeted and therefor have to

    safeguard our homes as best we

    can.

    In die jaar 2015 tot 2016 moet

    ek n bejaarde persoon help om

    behuising en versorging te kry.

    Ek het tot n skokkende

    gevolgtrekking gekom dat daar

    n groot behoefte aan ouetehui-

    se of aftreeoorde vir Kraaifon-

    tein-bejaardes is.

    Kraaifontein bars uit sy nate

    soos daar huise en woonstelle

    opgerig word vir die nuwe

    geslag, maar daar word nie

    gekyk na die behoeftes van ons

    bejaardes nie. Omliggende

    dorpe het die beste en mooiste

    plekke waar bejaardes hul

    laaste jare rustig kan deur-

    bring en goeie versorging kry.

    Hier is geweldig baie ouer

    mense wat tans nog in hul

    huise woon, maar oor n jaar

    of drie ook n verandering sal

    moet maak weens gesondheid

    of verswakte omstandighede.

    Dit is n hartseer saak, want

    ek kry die gevoel dat ons

    bejaardes nie die voorreg het

    om in hul eie dorp, waar hulle

    oud geword het, die dorp help

    opbou het en vir jare belasting

    betaal het, welkom is om hul

    lewe af te sluit nie.

    Komaan, stadsbeplanners,

    munisipaliteit, ontwikkelaars

    en kerke! Kan julle nie koppe

    bymekaar sit en ons dorp ook

    op die map bring met sulke

    voordele nie?

    Mag hierdie versoek by die

    regte mense uitkom.

    my ADSL-lyn op by CapeGate

    se Telkom-tak. Terwyl ek

    gehelp word, merk ek op hoe

    die bestuurder klinte met

    klagtes en navrae help.

    On 19 January between 8:00 and

    8:30, my son was travelling

    from Bellville to Durbanville.

    He must have dropped his

    wallet in the taxi without

    realising it.

    Mavis Billy noticed it on the

    seat and decided not to give it

    to the taxi driver or the sliding

    door operator, saying she didnt

    know in whose hands it may

    end up.

    His ID book, two bank cards

    and motorbike licence together

    with some cash (not a lot) were

    in his wallet.

    Ons is besig met familieregis-

    is dat daar destyds in Parow in

    die 1940s tot laat 1950s n

    kraaminrigting met die naam

    van Amoria Nursing Home

    was. In watter straat en omge-

    wing dit was, weet ons nie.

    Ek (1949) en my neef, Johan

    (1950), is daar gebore.

    Nog iemand het na vore

    gekom en ges hy is in 1955 ook

    daar gebore.

    skoonouers

    D

    aar is n sekere groep mense wat

    diegene wat aan hul genade oorgele-

    wer is, telkens reg bo-op die sny-

    kant van die swaard laat, sonder dat jy

    daar wil afklim. Di spesie het n naam;

    hulle heet skoonmense.

    Dis nie die oorneem van ouerlike pligte

    in die teenwoordigheid van genoemde

    ouer/s as dit by hul kleinkinders kom,

    wat n mens moedeloos laat nie. Dis ook

    nie die inmenging in besluite (wat hulle

    eintlik op gn manier benvloed nie) wat

    jou wrokkig laat nie.

    Ja, jy kn seker vir skoonma vergewe

    dat sy die heeldag suur gelyk het op jul

    troudag; jy s die beter mens, oortuig jy

    jouself.

    Jys die een wat n werkbare, blywende

    oplossing soek wat almal sal pas, en

    sonder enige leedgevoelens sal laat. (Ook

    die kleinkinders j kinders wat glo

    hulle kan met moord wegkom en jy kan

    nks daaromtrent doen nie, want Ouma

    en Oupa gaan jou

    besluite in elk

    geval veto.)

    Maar as jy dit

    ontken, maak dit

    jou briesend kwaad

    as jy oor jou

    frustrasie wil

    praat, en hulle

    bloot stilbly en

    eenkant toe kyk as

    jy die onderwerp

    probeer ophaal.

    Dan, kort daarna,

    kla jy oor nog n

    skoonouer-voorval

    teenoor n kollega.

    Die gesprek raak n algemene een waar jy

    en die kollega vir die ander kollegas sit

    en wag om jul weeklikse vergadering

    klaar te kry. Dan hoor di kollegas die

    trant van die gesprek, en kort voor lank

    begin jou perspektief spreukbeurt vir

    spreukbeurt te verander...

    Daar is n stel skoonouers wat leef,

    hoor ons, wat hul kleinkind ses jaar laas

    gesien het. Di kleinkind is agt jaar oud,

    en sy ouma het sy hare n oomblik lank

    deurmekaar gevryf by n begrafnis waar

    sy hom toevallig raakgeloop het.

    n Ander vertel van geld wat elke

    maand aan een of ander skoonouerprojek

    deurgestuur moet word. Die een wat

    binnekort gaan trou, vertel hoe haar

    toekomstige skoonma vir haar klere vir

    n familietroue kom uitkies het, want sy

    mag niks aantrek wat haar pragtige

    tatoes sou afwys nie. Daar is ook die

    skoonouer wat haar mishandelende seun

    bygestaan het toe di haar skoondogter

    verneuk het mt die skoondogter se

    suster. En soos jy luister, dink jy: Bly

    stil. Maak jou hart kalm. J skoonouers

    Vroeg vanjaar ontvang ek n

    astronomiese rekening waarby

    n kontrakbreukboete van oor

    die R900 gevoeg is. Ek en die

    tannie by 10210 verstaan

    mekaar nie mooi nie, want hoe

    meer ek verduidelik dat ek as

    n bestaande Telkom-ADSL-ge-

    bruiker nou meer van Telkom

    se diens gebruik gaan maak

    teen n ander tarief, hou sy voet

    by stuk dat ek kontrakbreuk

    gepleeg het om op te gradeer

    binne n sekere tydperk.

    Dis toe dat ek onthou van die

    heer by CapeGate se Telkom.

    Hoewel hulle n tegniese

    dienspunt is wat nie op reke-

    ningnavrae hoef te reageer nie,

    gee hy my gelyk en noem dat

    hy werk sal maak van die

    geval. Hy hanteer my op so n

    menswaardige manier dat ek

    eintlik klein voel. Skaars twee

    weke later laat weet Telkom my

    dat ek met die bedrag, sowel as

    my rente, gekrediteer is.

    Aan die bestuurder by

    CapeGate se Telkom, Riaan van

    der Westhuizen, wil ek net s:

    Flower Power, gekyk het nie of dalkweerwil

    Baie geluk en mag julle vol huise kry!

    VolgensMargitMeyer-Rdenbeck,wat die

    rol van Liewe Heksie vertolk, was die pu-

    bliek se terugvoer oor die pantomime n

    riem onder die hart. Party mense het weer

    Residents to get wise

    City of Cape Town mayor, Patricia de Lille,

    wanted more than birthday wishes last

    week when she visited the Stodels Garden

    Centre inKenilworth shedemandedwater

    wisdom.

    There was a buzz at the busy centre last

    Wednesday when she arrived and custom-

    ers welcomed her by singing happy birth-

    day with gusto, but there was a serious

    side to her visit.

    The visit in Kenilworth was to promote

    waterwise gardening, an initiative by the

    City of Cape Town that will see water sav-

    ing ambassadors employed in all garden

    centres around the Western Cape to help

    customers learn to save water and reduce

    their water bills.

    De Lille feels now is the time to kick-start

    an action plan to save water, starting by

    talking to gardeners about waterwise gar-

    dening. During this informal visit she chat-

    ted to customers about water wise garden-

    ing and promoted ways to save water not

    just for theWestern Cape and South Africa,

    but also for the planet.

    This waterwise initiative is considered a

    partnership between the City of Cape Town

    and Stodels Nurseries.

    It is vital that we start changing peoples

    behaviour in terms of water usage and edu-

    cating themabout globalwarming, the ram-

    ifications of water shortages such as in-

    creased food and water prices and the very

    real possibility that ifwedont reducewater

    consumption, this resource could run

    out,said De Lille.

    Nick Stodel, managing director of Stodels

    Nurseries, was delighted that the mayor

    chose Stodels as the venue for this drive

    about water saving and waterwise garden-

    ing, which is also high on his agenda.

    As part of this water saving programme

    the Expanded Public Works Programme

    (EPWP) at theCity of CapeTown is utilising

    unemployed citizens to act as water saving

    ambassadors within various garden cen-

    tres in the Western Cape.

    Stodels Nurseries has been running a

    campaign since the beginning of February

    to educate gardeners about waterwise gar-

    dening including the use of waterwise

    plants, water saving granules, mulching to

    stop evaporation, adapting gardens to the

    existingwater restrictions and generally of-

    fering tips about saving water.

    The water restrictions are set to contin-

    ue and it is up to us to contribute to a reduc-

    tion in consumption not only to save on

    water bills, but to save this precious re-

    source and our planet, concluded De Lille.

    ou see, the District Six music, it

    soothes your soul.

    Dave van Niekerk knows all

    about the music of the district. In his hey-

    day, he appeared on stages around the area

    as the drummer for the Paramount Dixies

    RhythmBand. Now, in his eighties, Oupa,

    as he is affectionately known, is keeping the

    spirit of District Six alive by taking its

    sounds around the world.

    You cant resist the music, Oupa says.

    The rhythm; the beat its so fantastic, it

    keeps you hopping.

    This year marks the 50th anniversary of

    the forced removals from District Six, but

    Oupa is one of a few people who have been

    able to move back to the area. Against the

    soundtrack of his favourite SammyWitbooi

    cassette, Oupa settles into his seat in his

    house in Pontac Street to share some of his

    memories.

    Oupas late father was an all-round musi-

    cian. Music and all things creative seem to

    run in their family. Naturally Oupa and his

    brother Matt picked up instruments and

    played together for the Paramount Dixies.

    When he wasnt playing with his own band

    he was on stage helping other acts.

    Musicwas all aroundDistrict Six, he re-

    calls. If you didnt hear it in the streets, you

    heard it in the houses or the halls.

    Besides performances at local weddings

    and dance halls, the Paramount Dixies often

    played at old age homes and even enter-

    tained the patients at Valkenberg Hospital.

    It boosts their morale, he says of these

    special shows. When you go play at Valken-

    berg, you take it for granted that these peo-

    ple are loony toony but let me tell you,

    each tune we played, the steps were there.

    Oupa fondly recalls having to perform

    Hasie three times in one show because it

    was a favourite among the patients.

    The group often arranged outings, taking

    their fans with them when they went on

    tour. Theyd travel in trucks, which were

    more reliable than buses, but meant theyd

    have to travel without bathroom breaks as

    truck drivers werent allowed to drive

    through the night.

    Going with the band and travelling pla-

    ces was fantastic, you know; we met a lot of

    people.

    Back home he recalls the gangs The

    Globes and The Jesters.

    They used to fight under themselves;

    they didnt worry about me and you.

    The Paramount Dixies would give them

    demos at the swimming baths before they

    came to watch their shows. The shows were

    often at one of the many theatres in the dis-

    trict.

    Oupa was fond of the Star Bioscope which

    he says showed all the film stars from

    abroad.

    If you wanted to know if you can sing or

    dance: if you pass out at the Star Bioscope,

    youre tops. Sitting downstairs, under the

    balcony at the theatre wasnt an option.

    You had to sit deep in, otherwise themob

    upstairs they sommer wee on you.

    During the day he could sometimes be

    found near Buchanan Square, which used to

    be a sweets factory. Wed stand in Francis

    Street and theyd throw the sweets down.

    Some workers even smuggled chocolates

    and liquorice sweets out in their clothes.

    That was fun.

    While the band was separated with the

    forced removals, they would still get togeth-

    er occasionally to play in their backyards.

    The music goes on.

    Oupa even travelled to New Zealand to

    share themusic of District Six. He points out

    that the New Zealanders have always been

    supportive of musicians from the district

    since being exposed to it through District

    Six: The Musical.

    Theres something aboutDistrict Sixmu-

    sic and its vibe: you cant sit on your noodle;

    you must shake your booty.

    Oupa urges parents to share their culture

    and music with their children so that the

    music can live on in future generations.

    The unity, the passion, the love for each

    other this is how Oupa remembers the

    spirit of District Six.

    V Capetonians can experience this spirit with David

    Kramers new musical: District Six Kanala. The

    show is on at the Fugard Theatre until Sunday 22

    May and tickets are available at Computicket.

    Tour of Light ends

    in delightful dinner

    A

    nyone can learn a thing or two about

    social responsibility from the seven-

    year-old Hannah Joubert of Eversdal

    Primary.

    Hannahsmother,Angela, saysher daugh-

    ter was listening to the news on the way to

    school when they heard that animals and

    people were dying of thirst.

    Hannah turned to look at Angela with a

    horrified lookonher face and said: Wehave

    to help, Mommy! Angela says.

    It was in that moment that Hannahs wa-

    ter collection project, Tear2Water,was born.

    Her idea was to start by requesting each

    child in her school to bring a sealed bottle

    of water on a specific day, and thereafter to

    move on to the next school.

    Angela says the Pick n Pay supermarket

    in the Tyger Valley Shopping Centre was

    willing to collect any water collected at the

    school.

    Eversdal principal Henk Arangies gave

    the go-ahead that the learners could leave

    sealed bottles of water in front of the school

    hall between 07:00 and 11:30 on Tuesday 16

    February.

    The Petals Express couriers in Parow

    sponsored peak caps with Hannahs project

    name printed on it, and they offered extra

    trucks to remain on standby.

    The Tears2Water project was truly bless-

    ed, Angela adds.

    Well, on 16 February the five-litre bottles

    were stacked up all over in the front of the

    school. The kindness of the parents was

    overwhelming and the excitement of the

    children infectious, butwhen the Spar truck

    pulled in and started off-loading water, the

    tears piled up, she said.

    This was followed by another donation de-

    livered per truck this time by Barlow

    World.

    Not long after, the Aquilla Water truck

    pulled up to also off-load a very generouswa-

    ter contribution all for the little seven-

    year-old with the big heart, the proudmom

    says.

    As if to top off such a wonderful day, Glen-

    garry Shopping Centres Pick n Pay deliv-

    ereda truck loadofEaster eggs one for each

    child in the school.

    Angela calls this the perfect wrap-up.

    Through her efforts, the little girl and all

    the people and companies who helped her,

    managed to gather 5 200 litres of water.

    This will be delivered by Pick n Pay Tyger

    Valley to the area designated as being most

    in need.

    What a lovely story of changing a thought

    of compassion into a reality and how a sev-

    en-year-old can lead all those grownups to

    kindness.

    Hannah holds high ground

    Little Hannah (7) with some of the bottles of water she collected through her campaign of

    compassion, Tears2Water.
