LANGEBERG HEIGHTS DEVELOPMENT: CAPACITY, SECURITY AND TRAFFIC A MAJOR CONCERN

Proposal sparks outcry

DESIRE RORKE

@dezzierorke

A

developmental nightmare is looming

in Langeberg Heights, say concerned

residents.

Insufficient roads, stormwater and sanita-

tion capacities, security and a considerable

drop in property values are only some of the

concerns shared by hundreds of residents

here, pending the outcome of a high density

development application.

The development if approved will sport

73 units, with two parking bays each, a

refuse area and an open space in a total area

of only 1.9Ha an area smaller than two rug-

by fields.

Residents allege they are being kept in the

dark by the City of Cape Town, while it

seems to them that the development is going

full steam ahead in this essentially quiet

community.

According to resident Andrew Munnik,

the developer has indicated to residents in

the area that the development will go ahead

come April.

He has already started building roads by

using material he has been dumping on site

heaps and heaps of it during the last

month, he said.

He provided photos of this.

The project manager appointed by the de-

velopment company denies this allegation.

The rubble on the site is from the demoli-

tion done beforehand, and is being stock-

piled in case the development is approved.

It will then be used for road construction.

Obviously, it will be carted away in the case

of non-approval, he said.

The applicationwas firstmade inMay last

year, but withdrawn from the agenda by the

town planning department on the morning

of the subcouncil meeting, due to technicali-

ties arising from the objections and condi-

tions required, subcouncil chairman Ger-

hard Fourie told TygerBurger last week.

A record number of objections were

lodgedagainst this development 90 individ-

ual objections and a petition with 250 signa-

tures.

According to Munnik, the entry street to

the planned development is extremely nar-

row, to such an extreme that visitors of resi-

dents in this street are often asked to remove

their vehicles because of the impact it has

on the little flow of traffic it carries.

The Traffic Impact Assessment referred

to indicates that nominal impact is expected,

which makes absolutely no sense, he says.

Moreover, the additional traffic flow will

add to the pressure already on N1 access

roads such as Brackenfell Boulevard and

Okavango Road. Munnik says security is al-

so an issue, as is property values.

The increase in volume of peoplemoving

through our neighbourhood will negatively

affect security and property values.

FROM PAGE 1

Munnik says houses in the area are valued

between R1.7m and R2.2m.

The proposed development will force

high valued properties to be directly adja-

cent to low value properties, the latter of

which is not compatible to the surrounding

area. How is the City going to guarantee us

that our current property valueswill not de-

crease as a result of this development?

He says hypothetical arguments are not

at play, but facts are required.

According to Munnik the proposed storm

water storage system also does not make

sense.

The plan indicates that stormwater stor-

age is to beprovided for on thenorth eastern

side of the site, yet the notice indicates that

the site slopes from north to south at an an-

gle of 4.5 degrees. This makes no sense and

requires clarification in terms of the Citys

own explanation, he says.

Hewants toknowwhat theCity anddevel-

opers propose in terms of storm water

drainage and sewerage and what guaran-

tees can be provided that adequate provi-

sion has been made to prevent unexpected

or even disastrous events.

Munnik had to make special provision at

his own expense to prevent his back door

from being flooded, which has happened in

the past.

In photographs he showed TygerBurger,

flashfloods can clearly be seen at the inter-

section of Hennop andOkavango roads dur-

ing a rain storm.

Munnik says this intersection is always

flooded during excessive rain, which is a

clear indication that the current storm wa-

ter infrastructure is inadequate.

In his own back yard he had to install a

newdrainage system to keep thewater from

his back door, and even that, he says, is not

coping with the excessive water during

rainy season.

As a result I have to consistently deal

with water damage.

The City confirmed that initial demoli-

tion of the existing buildings on the site

started without permission.

However, a notice was served and subse-

quently a demolition application was sub-

mitted on 3September 2015 and approved on

21 December 2015. As such, the demolition

work on site since January 2016 is being

done with authorisation, says Johan van

der Merwe, Mayco member for energy, en-

vironmental and spatial planning.

The application, he says, is still following

due process and a decision is yet to bemade.

Therefore, should the developer proceed

with any form of construction without the

necessary approvals, immediate action will

be instituted, he says.

The application seeks to rezone the erven

from agricultural to subdivisional area for

general residential zone 1 to permit 73

dwelling units and associated uses such as

refuse removal, roads and open space.

Van der Merwe confirmed receipt of the

objections and petition, which was then re-

ferred to the applicant for comment.

The required information and responses

were submitted by the applicant on 7 Janu-

ary, he says.

When asked whether the City has given

serious consideration to the objections, Van

der Merwe merely said the decision will be

deliberated at the subcouncil sitting in

April.

Once a decision has been taken by the

subcouncil, all parties, including the appli-

cant and objectors, will be informed of the

outcome and they will be afforded a right

to appeal the decision.

DESIRE RORKE

@dezzierorke

C

omplaints about vehicle theft at the

CapeGate shopping centre continue

to surface in spite of a combined ef-

fort between CapeGate centre manage-

ment and Brackenfell police to curb this

crime.

Laverne Evon last week came forward

with her story, but told TygerBurger she

had no faith in this supposed collabora-

tion following her own experience at the

centre in December.

The centre management just tells you

that they work hand-in-hand with the po-

lice, but I would like to say thats the big-

gest load of crap.

She started her new job at CapeGate on

1 December last year.

At about 08:00 I pulled up into the park-

ing area and saw a man standing nearby.

I was very suspicious of him and at first

wanted to move my car, a Toyota Corolla

Sprinter 1.8i, still in mint condition, but

didnt want to be late on my first day of

work. Maybe my imagination was run-

ning wild, I told myself.

Low and behold, when Evon finished

her shift at 17:30, she came out only to dis-

cover her car being missing.

The car guards were no help and

thought of me as some crazy woman who

forgot where she had parked.

Sheeventuallywent to themall security

and upon scrutinising the video camera

footage, saw the same man that she was

suspicious of, was in fact involved in the

theft.

Footage showed the man getting into

a silver VW Polo Vivo and reversing be-

hind my car. The man then gets out and

you can see him trying to open the car

door. He gets back into the Vivo proba-

bly to get something to help open the car.

He eventually gets it right and drives off

withmy car, while the Vivo goes off in the

other direction, she says.

Evon says she was shocked to see this

and demands to know why the cameras

are not being monitored.

The crime is on camera crystal clear!

But where are the mall security guards

who are supposed to watch for this?

According to Evon the footage was

available from day one (on 1 December).

I reported the car stolen immediately.

The Brackenfell police, however, only

went to view the footage two weeks later

on 15 December, she says.

Onemorning someweeks later, she saw

the sameman in the parking area,writing

down the registrationnumber of a bakkie.

That was 07:30 in the morning. I had

asked my mother to call the Brackenfell

police to tell them that the same man was

here, while I alerted the centre security.

According to Evon themall security on-

ly followed him, whereas the police never

even showed up.

These men will continue to operate at

the CapeGate Mall cause they are getting

away with it. The Brackenfell police and

CapeGate need to get their act together,

she says. I am totally disgusted.

. At the time of going to print neither

the Brackenfell police nor CapeGate cen-

tre management had responded.

Car theft still a problem

M

eer as n jaar n n tref-en-trap-onge-

luk waarin n jong seun ernstig be-

seer is, het die Brackenfell-polisie

om onverklaarbare redes nog steeds nie die

ondersoek afgehandel nie.

Die ongeluk het omstreeks 17:00 op 14 Ok-

tober 2014 in De Bron-rylaan oorkant die

Vredekloof-winkelsentrum plaasgevind.

Juan van derWesthuizenwat die ongeluk

sien gebeur het, en ook die polisie se hoof-

ooggetuie is, vertel: Ek en my seun, Ruan,

het die middag gaan draf saam met ons

hond, Charlie. n Entjie voor ons het n seun

van sowat 11 jaar saammet sy stiefpa op die

sypaadjie voor ons gestap.

n Wit bakkie het verby gery in die rig-

ting van CapeGate. Hy het skielik links ge-

swenk en op die sypaadjie beland en die

seungetref.Diebakkiehet onmiddelikdaar-

na weggejaag. Die seun is ernstig beseer en

ek het nie gedink hy gaan dit maak nie, s

Van derWesthuizen. Ek het n vrou gestop

om die ambulans te bel. Die seun is deur sy

stiefpa kalm gehou totdat die ambulans en

die polisie daar aangekom het.

VanderWesthuizenhet egter die voertuig

se registrasienommer afgeskryf en saam

met sy verklaring aan die polisie gegee.

Hoewel die bestuurder van die voertuig

spoedig opgespoor en in hegtenis geneem is,

is dit waar die saak gebly het.

Van der Westhuizen het verlede week sy

frustrasie teenoor die Brackenfell-polisie

uitgespreek. Die polisie het net nie die

mense om sake op te volg nie. Die insident

het in 2014 gebeur, maar tot dusver is daar

net mooi niks gedoen nie, s hy. Die be-

skuldigde het een keer in die hof verskyn

met sy regsverteenwoordiger. Daarna is

niks gedoen nie, beweer hy.

Ek het al 14 keer gebel om te hoor wat

aan die gang is. Eers word daar ges dat die

ondersoekbeampte 170 sakehetwaarmeehy

besig is, maar in dieselfde asem ook dat alle

sake ewe belangrik is.

Volgens hom is die saak ook al deur drie

verskillende ondersoekbeamptes onder-

soek. Ek het al verskeie kere probeer om

die nuutste ondersoekbeampte in die hande

te kry. Hy was nou al drie keer op kursus

en n paar keer met verlof

en intussen woon hy glo

ook gereeld atletiekbyeen-

komste in die Oos-Kaap

by.

Toe hy eindelik twee we-

ke gelede daarin slaag om

kontak te maak met die

speurdiens, is daar slegs

vir hom ges daar sou di

spesifieke week werk van

die saak gemaak word.

Van der Westhuizen s

die seun was intussen telkemale in die hos-

pitaal. Hy het ook erge hoofpyne en epilep-

sie ontwikkel, asook werwels wat vasdruk.

Hy het geen mediese fonds nie, s hy.

Dis baie kommerwekkend dat die saak

so lank sloer en dat niemand vir my kan s

hoekom nie. Volgens hom kon hy tot dus-

ver nog nie vasstel wat die redes daarvoor

is nie. Ek het gehoor dat die saak verlede

jaar voorlopig teruggetrek is tot en met die

polisie verdere verklarings geneem het.

Vyf maande gelede het een van die on-

dersoekbeamptes met wie ek gepraat het,

vir my ges hulle moet weer my verklaring

kom afneem, en ook di van die seun, wat

niks gesien het nie, maar dis die laaste. Nie-

mand het my weer gekontak nie, en as ek

probeer kontak maak, is die ondersoekbe-

ampte nooit beskikbaar nie.

In reaksie tot nmedianavraagwaarinTy-

gerBurger die bogenoemde kwessie aange-

roer het en verskeie vrae gestel het, het die

Brackenfell-polisie bloot hul skouers opge-

haal. Let asseblief daarop dat die saak nog

ondersoek word. Enige persoonmet n klag-

te met betrekking tot die ondersoek word

aangemoedig om die bestuur van Bracken-

fell-polisie te kontak om hul ontevreden-

heid uit te spreek sodat die nodige ondersoe-

ke gedoen kan word, is al wat die stasiebe-

velvoerder, kol. Willie Joseph, in n

verklaring gemeld het.

Intussen het Van der

Westhuizen verlede week

aangehou met sy pogings

om antwoorde te kry.

Ek het bykans elke dag

geskakel, maar niemand

skakel my terug nie.

Die ondersoekbeampte

was glo verlede week weer

met verlof. Toe hy uiten-

delik daarop aandring om

met die hoof van die speur-

diens te praat, was hy

stomgeslaan oor sy kortaf antwoord.

Daar is bloot virmyges dat die inligting

rondom die saak my nie aangaan nie. Ek

verstaandit nie. Ekwas tog die hoof- en dalk

enigste getuie enwounetweetwat die stand

van sake is. Die speurhoof het egter reguit

virmy ges dat dit nie hul verantwoordelik-

heid is om terugvoering te gee aan getuiens

nie en dat hulle my sal skakel as ek weer

in die hof moet verskyn. Hulle het ook ge-

weier om die pa se nommer weer vir my te

gee. Van derWesthuizen s hy het die nom-

mer verlede jaar verloor toe hy selfone ge-

ruil het. Hy beplan om eersdaags n klag by

die Wes-Kaapse polisie aanhangig te maak.

SeanMcClelland, voorsitter van die Brac-

kenfell-gemeenskapspolisiringsforum

(GPF), s daar is verskeie maniere waarop

ledevandie publiek inligtingvandie polisie

kan kry. Hulle kan die GPF kontak of n

klagte by die polisie aanhangig maak.

. Die Brackenfell-polisie het Van der

Westhuizen Maandag telefonies verwittig

dat hulle sy verklaring sal kom afneem.

Ondersoek sloer al n jaar

Die polisie

het net nie

diemense

omsake op

te volg nie.

S

ome residents in Northpine question

the statement of reduced house break-

ins in the area, saying that residents

shouldnot be at ease but rather remainvigi-

lant.

During a communitymeetingwith the po-

lice, Law Enforcement and the Community

Police Forum (CPF) a fortnight ago, it was

stated that house break-ins generally de-

creased in Northpine since the start of 2016.

TygerBurger reported on this in its edition

of 17 February.

According to Anton Peacock, there was

only four break-ins during this time an as-

sertion disputed by Alfred Hoff.

Hoff sayshe is aware ofmanymorebreak-

in attempts thatmightnot havebeen report-

ed.

In the small hours of Wednesday morn-

ing 16 February, burglars gained access

through my garage door. Fortunately noth-

ingwas taken, but it could have beenworse.

I stress that garage doors installed during

the 80s and 90s by Garden Cities are target-

ed by these criminals and accessibility are

easily gained, as I discovered myself. I even

cautioned residents to be more vigilant my-

self, he said. The very next day, two sus-

pects tried to break into theNorthpineCom-

munity Hall. The alarm was activated and

scared them off, but I reported the incident

to the police. Also, during the same day,

burglars tried to break into a house by first

knocking at the door, and if no one an-

swered, they would try to gain access. For-

tunately the owner was at home, he says.

Who knows, similar incidents might

have happened elsewhere, but were not re-

ported. Residents should not be at ease.

Die Bellville-polisie waarsku oor n toena-

me in voertuigdiefstal en diefstal uit motor-

voertuie by die groot winkelsentrums in

Bellville.

Volgens maj. Fienie Nimb, woordvoer-

der, volg die skelms n slimmodus operandi

deur twee voertuie op n slag te gebruik om

karre uit parkeergebiede te steel.

Ons ondervind tans n probleem met

voertuie wat gesteel word by sakesentrums

in die Tygervallei-gebied.

In die meeste gevalle waar die voertuie

gesteel was, was dit onderdak geparkeer,

s Nimb.

Sy verduidelik dat die skelms met hul eie

motor onderdak in die parkeergebied inry

en sodoende n parkeerkaartjie verkry.

Een van die personeword afgelaai en die

voertuig word gesteel. Albei voertuie be-

weeg dan na die valbome, waar die eerste

voertuig die valboom oopmaak, s sy.

Die gesteelde kar volg dan op baie kort

afstand agter die eerste voertuig uit.

Nimbsbesoekers aandie sentrumsmoet

verlief neemdat nbetaaldeparkeerkaartjie

nie outomaties beteken dat n voertuig vei-

lig is nie.

Die blote feit dat jy betaal vir parkering

betekennienoodwendig dat jouvoertuig ge-

vrywaar is teen diefstal nie. Verwyder

steeds alle sigbare items uit jou voertuig.

V Is waardevolle items wat u in u motor gelaat het

D

is net die genesendekrag vanvergifnis

wat die pyn kon stil maak.

n Paar jaar terug het die ergste ding

denkbaar met Surita Cowley gebeur. Haar

enigste seun, Olwyn, is gewelddadig ver-

moor.

Vandag leef Surita sonder haat en woede

in haar hart. Ek is vry, want hulle het geen

houvasmeer opmynie.Ek lewenoudie lewe

wat Olwyn nie kan nie, s sy.

Ook het sy n boek geskryf, Oorwinnaar

met littekens, en n kursus ontwikkel om

haar eie genesingsreis te deel en ander daar-

mee te inspireer.

Die sogenaamde Gumtree-moord was op-

spraakwekkend en het virmaande n die ar-

restasie en hofverrigtinge steeds vir hoofop-

skrifte in die media gesorg. Olwyn het sy

BMW op Gumtree geadverteer en is op 31

Augustus 2012 deur belangstellende ko-

pers in n lokval gelei, ontvoer en vermoor.

Sy liggaam is later langs dieBadenPowell-

rylaan gevind. Hy is twee keer in die kop ge-

skiet. Ten tye van symoord het Surita en Ol-

wyn alleen gewoon.

Hy was my enigste kind en sy pa het in

2004 selfmoord gepleeg. Ons was toe reeds 12

jaar geskei, s Surita. Ek het my werk ver-

loor en was genoodsaak om ons meenthuis

in Bellville te verkoop. Die dag n die trek

het Olwyn nooit huis toe gekom nie en die

verpletterende nuus het gevolg.

Die hofsaak was n lang, uitgerekte saak

wat in 2014 tot n einde gekom het en sy tol

op Surita geis het. Op 19 Junie 2015 het sy

die man wat haar seun vermoor het, in die

tronk besoek by Brandwag, waar hy n le-

wenslange vonnis uitdien.

Dit was n baie emosionele dag gewees.

Ek het hom byna n hele jaar lank in die hof

gesien, so ek het geweet hoe hy lyk en hy hoe

ek lyk. Vooraf het ek gerel met die maat-

skaplike werkers by die gevangenis om hom

te sien en hy wou my ook sien. Ek het hom

gevra of hy getroud is, en of hy kinders en

kleinkinders het. Hy het baie gepraat.

Daarna het ek vir hom ges dat ek hom

vergewe, dat ekhomvryspreek, sodat ekkan

voortgaan met my eie lewe, vertel sy.

Die man het in trane uitgebars en begin

huil en sy gesig verberg. Ek het natuurlik

ook begin huil, maar dit was trane van gene-

sing. Hy het my vertel hoe jammer hy is, dat

hy gedwing was daartoe en dat daar nie n

dagverbygaandathynie aanmykindenaan

my dink nie, s sy.

Surita s sy het die waarde van vergifnis

geleer. Ek het geweet my eie behoud sal

daarvan afhang. Anders sou dit my bitter en

kwaad gemaak het. As ek nie vergewe nie,

sou hulle nie net Olwyn se lewe verwoes het

nie, maar ook myne, maar nou is ek n oor-

winnaar al het ek littekens.

Sy verduidelik wat sy met die kursus ge-

naamd Klei, wil bereik. Hoop is n sterk

tema. Maak nie saak hoe swaar dinge lyk

nie, daar is altydhoop.Diekursus gaanhoof-

saaklik om jou verlede agter te laat en hoe

om weer in jou drome en in jouself te glo.

Dit versterk jou selfbeeld en leer jou ook om

verhoudings te bou en om jou emosies te ver-

werk. Dit leer ook om ander te aanvaar en

te vergewe. Ek sal graagwil h dat elkemens

moet weet wat hy of sy potensiaal is en hoe

om jou drome uit te leef; hoe om werklik te

leef, want te vl mense bestaan net en leef

nie werklik nie.

Die volgende sesweekkursus begin op 4

April in Kuilsrivier. Enige persoon is wel-

kom om dit by te woon en die koste beloop

R100 per persoon.

hanks to the goodwill ofmembers of the

Tygerberg Mountain Bike Club, the

learners of Vissershok Primary School

outside Durbanville have a brand new floor

in their enclosed courtyard.

The courtyard is often used for functions,

assemblies or recreational activities.

The school, which is situated at the inter-

section of Vissershok and Contermanskloof

Roads, provides schooling for 576 children

from Grade R to Grade 7.

The courtyard was closed in about five

years ago by several roleplayers, including

ATKV Durbanville, Pick n Pay and Wool-

worths, but the floor was never finished off.

The new floor was financed by the Tyger-

berg Mountain Bike Club and Cape Epic.

In February the existing school courtyard

of 250m, which previously had a very rough

and battered finish, was topped with a con-

crete floor at a cost of R20 500 .

Explaining their sponsorship, Patrick

Roberts, trail manager of the Tygerberg

MTB Club, says: Many of the learners are

from the farms were privileged to ride on.

The school has always been very accom-

modating in allowing mountain bike races

in the area to pass through the school prem-

ises, which is pivotal to most of the race

routes in the area.

We decided to get involved when the

schools principal, Greg Andries, ap-

proached me one day asking whether we

could provide any assistance in getting the

courtyard floor rectified, Roberts says.

The Tygerberg MTB Club consists of over

5000 members, predominantly from the

greater Durbanville area.

It is one of the biggest cycling clubs in the

country and is run by a democratically elect-

ed committee, he says.

The aim of the club is to provide a safe,

funandnaturalmountainbiking experience

to itsmembers, using purpose-built trails on

the many farms in the Durbanville Hills re-

gion, Roberts says.

Being a non-profitable organisation, all

annual subscription fees collected go back to

either the community and community caus-

es, land owners for trail usage remuneration

or the construction of new trails on the

farms.

Andries says they are very grateful for the

new floor as the area is often used for func-

tions and assemblies.

A hit-and-run accident supposedly

killing a volunteer fireman in Brack-

widely publicised on social media last

this incident happened on the corners

of Bottelary Road and Kruis Street on

Wednesday morning.

Warrant Officer Erica Crous,

spokesperson for Brackenfell police,

was found lying on the side of Bottel-

ary road after he had suffered what is

believed to be an epileptic fit.

not entirely conscious, was transport-

Salaam, Emmirentia Coetzee

(Gevlegte een bly koeksister,

TB, 2 Maart), u wil nou weet

waa diese koesister vandaan

kom? Laat ek nou ma vi u

inlig van onse voorvaders wat

doer uit die Maleisi, Indonesi

en Nederland hulle hier in ons

land bevind het en di se

lekkerny saamgegooi het. So is

dit dat Afrikaners hulle se

koeksister maak en die Malei-

ers, wat geleer het om Neder-

lands met Arabies te meng, dit

nou koesister noem. Hierby

voeg hulle speserye by die

koesister en so maak hulle dit

eie aan hulle se volk. Ja, ons

Maleiers praat Afrikaans lank

voor Afrikaans invent was.

Daarom bevat Afrikaans so

baie Arabiese woorde. Ek hoop

dit het gehelp met jou vraag,

my skat, want ons hou die volk

ingelig.

Nou net Desiree Rorke se

berig, Traffic cop troubles,

TB, 2 Maart, gelees.

Ek is elke oggend net voor

ses op die pad in Bonnie Brook

en sien elke dag die bewyse

dat ongeveer 90% van ons

motoriste alle padrels veront-

agsaam, soos die stopstrate op

die hoek van Darwin- en Dan

Kingstraat, Darwin- en Mossel-

bankstraat en by die T-aanslui-

ting van Dan King- en Kip-

lingstraat. En dan praat ons

nie eens van die geel geverfde

eiland in Darwin tussen Dan

King en Mosselbank nie. Dit is

nou n tweede baan!

By twee verskillende geleent-

hede het ek al n verkeersmo-

tor in Dan King (vanaf Joosten-

berg se rigting) sien stop by

die kruising met Darwin, en n

motor kom met Darwin af en

ry oor die stopteken voor die

verkeersmotor se neus verby

With profound disgust I am

writing about prices of Gillette

razor shaving blades for men.

Firstly, the greater majority of

men shave every day; some

every second day.

The reason is that they have

to be presentable to their wives

or girlfriends and managers/

employers especially in the

office work place.

I was told factory employers

shave for their own esteem or

when they are in charge as say

Ek verbaas my oor Bloubul-Ba-

rends se kennis van die spel

rugby.

Dit kom voor of hy nie omgee

om telkemale sy onkunde met

die rugbyliefhebbers te deel nie.

Waar kom hy aan die onsin

wat hy kwytraak? Het hy sy eie

stel rels of beoordeel hy elke

wedstryd op meriete? Sy

aannames dat die Bulle moes

gewen het, dat die skeidsregter

blind is en sy verwysing na Du

Preez se haarstyl laat my erg

twyfel in sy rugbykennis.

Reismaak jou

arm n ryk

Van Magoebaskloof se teeplantasies tot

Berlyn se muur; van Paternoster se

panty bar tot New York se Times

Square; van Malawi se Groot Meer tot

Switserland se berg Pilatus; van Kimber-

ley se Groot Gat tot Glenmorangie se

whiskykelder.

Dit was my en my wederhelf se voorreg

om oor die afgelope 12 jaar hierdie plekke

en nog baie, baie meer te besoek,

want die reiskoors het behoorlik in 2004

posgevat.

As jy eers Die Koors kry, los hy jou

nie, al doen jy wat. Vra maar enigiemand

wat Die Koors het.

Reis maak jou gelyktydig brandarm en

skatryk. Brandarm want die euro, dollar

en pond boelie die rand, en skatryk, want

di herinneringe en ervarings kan jy nie

met enige geld koop nie.

Maar hoe weet jy dat Die Koors jou

beet het? Dit is wanneer jy laataand net

voor slaaptyd op die stoep sit en n reuse-

Airbus of Boeing gly geluidloos oor jou

huis, op pad noord en jy wens jy kon

saamgaan. Dit is wanneer jou boekrak

vol gepak is met

Frommers, Lonely

Planet, Fodors en

Rough Guides en jy

dit soos storieboeke

lees.

Dit is wanneer jy

besluit om eerder

oorsee te gaan

vakansie hou as

om nuwe kombuis-

kaste in te sit.

Want watter

herinneringe gaan

jy nou eintlik h

aan nuwe kombuis-

kaste. Al wat jy

gaan onthou, is die stof en gemors en die

twee weke wat jy nie die kombuis kon

gebruik nie. Dan weet jy Die Koors het

jou beetgepak.

Om oorsee te reis is om jouself oor te

gee aan nuwe kulture en dinge wat jou

lewe voller maak, jou dalk selfs n beter

mens maak. Dit is om te leef, eerder as

om net te bestaan. Dit is om ervarings

met jou sielsgenoot te deel.

Ervarings soos die opgewondenheid om

onbekende plekke te sien, om te ervaar

hoe mense aan die anderkant van die

wreld dinge doen, om iets bekend soos

n Spar te sien waar jy dit die minste

verwag, om kos te proe wat buite jou

verwysingsraamwerk is.

Om geboue te sien wat ouer as ons

land is; om te voel hoe regte sneeu voel,

om die andrenalien te ervaar om op n

ski-hyser te ry en om teen die berghang

af te jaag op n outydse rodelslee van

hout, om die grootsheid van die Grand-ca-

nyon en die Visrivier- canyon te ervaar,

om die woude in die Duitse Swartwoud te

sien, om die angs te voel in Dachau se

konsentrasiekamp, om die woestyn te

ervaar in Nevada en Namibi, om die

middernagson in Troms, noord van die

Arktiese sirkel, te sien en die belangrik-

heid van die somersonstilstand te ervaar.

Om te reis is om te verseker dat Die

Koors jou nie kns maak nie, want dit

kan. Ben Burger

Secondly, let us get down to

facts: Retail stores sell Gillette

blades as follows.

(1). Razor blades four-packs

cost R343.00 plus 14% value

added tax = R391, i.e. R97.75 per

blade?

(2). Blades eight-packs cost

R588 plus 14% sales tax = R670

divided by eight = R83.75

(cheaper buying double), getting

a discount for bulk buying.

Conservatively taken most

men use two blades @ R97.75

each = R195 per month, and

some with hard beards use up

to three to four blades @ R83.75

each = R251 per month or four

blades @ R83.75 X 4 = R335 per

month.

What do the females pay for

their razors?

(3). The worst scenario

annually for a four-pack per

month @ R355 x 12 = R4260; an

eight-pack R670 x 12= R8040.

LOUISA STEYL

@lounotes

A

fter 15 years as a professional axeman,

Axe is putting rock back in your

soul.

Table Views Louis Axe Lourens is well

known for his cover performances in and

around Cape Town, but now, after a little

push fromhis fans, hes taken on an original

project: The Axe Experience.

His debut album Rock back in your Soul

will be on sale for the first timewhen he per-

forms with one of his cover acts, Axenmore,

at Hillcrest Quarry this Sunday.

Its here that music fans will be able to

hear themusic that inspiredhis ownperson-

al sound.

Its classic old school rockwith amodern

twist, says Axe. The old school hes refer-

ring to, is the sound of bands like Led Zeppe-

lin and ACDC; a sound hes very familiar

with considering hes been emulating these

acts for years. But then, from time to time,

the album also offers up something slightly

reminiscent of Alter Bridge.

Axe started working on the album with

producer Dane Taylor about a year ago. He

co-produced and wrote the tracks himself

with ex Van Coke Kartel drummer Jason

Oosthuizen stepping in on drums and Die

Heuwels Fantasties Fred den Hartog re-

sponsible for a few bass lines.

Axehasbeenplayingasaprofessionalmu-

sician with various acts for about 15 years.

He got his stage name back when he started

playing on his own after leaving the band

White Rabbit. After much deliberation and

using the slang word for guitar, he took on

the moniker Axe on Fire. The act later be-

came a duo when he was joined by Tauna

Collier. With her flaming red hair, she be-

came known as the fire, making Louis the

Axe.

The Axe Experience is the fifth project

hes involved in at themoment and says its

about time he recorded his own music.

Some of these songs are years old, he

says, adding that as a perfectionist, he never

felt his music was good enough. But now,

if I had to die tomorrow, at least I can say:

this is Axe.

The album will be officially launched in

April.

Axe wants fans to get a chance to become

familiar with the music so theyll be singing

along at the launch.

By then Jason will also be joining him as

a member of The Axe Experience when he

isnt working with Lost&Found, his new

project with The Parlotones Glen Hodgson.

Theyll be using session musicians to help

fill out the ranks when The Axe Experience

performs live.

It was Jasonwho suggested that Axework

with Merwe Marchand le Roux for the al-

bumdesignwhich sports the image of amus-

cle car flying off theuncompletedCapeTown

bridges on the cover.

After the launch Axe and Jason plan to

gig as much as possible. Axe is also busy

sorting out the paperwork to send his music

to radio.

This is only number one. Once hes

gauged the response to this album, Axe

hopes to have a direction for his second al-

bum. So far the feedbacks been good.

Eventually he also wants to take the al-

bumtoEurope, but fornowAxesmain focus

will be on promotingRock back in your Soul.

I just cant wait to get this thing on the

roll.

Fans can get their first listen of the album

at Axenmores show at Hillcrest Quarry on

Sunday 13March from 14:00, which will also

serve as Axes belated birthday celebration.

Axenmore will be joined by Rob Shaws new

acoustic act The Boxer The Ring. Tickets

for the show cost R70 and R35 for children

aged 10 to 13, and are free for childrenyoung-

er than 10. Call 021 976 4959 to book a table

or simply pay at the door. Rock back in your

Soul will be on sale for R130 at the show but

DESIRE RORKE

@dezzierorke

S

weet dreams are made of this a meas-

ure of courage, loads of passion and

buckets full of hard work.

Less than a year after quitting her job as

a primary school teacher and taking her

first sugar art class, local cake artist Lesley

Lewiss sweet dream has become a reality.

ThisBrackenfeller today is theproudown-

er of her own enterprise, and she recently

won the prestigious wedding cake competi-

tion at the Bridal Show at Canal Walk.

After weeks of sleepless nights to decide

on a design, several days ofmaking 44 edible

sugar flowers, 40 filler flowers and buds, 350

edible jewels and applying hundreds of sug-

ar balls with tweezers, she delivered her

cake to be judged. Seeing the other cakes

wasquite intimidating. Iwas therefore total-

ly blown away when I was announced the

winner of theCanalWalkwedding cake com-

petition. No words can describe this feel-

ing! she said in an interview last week.

Her first encounter with baking occurred

during her second year at varsity when she

tried out a chocolate cake recipe froma book

her aunt gave her.

This is basically where the cake bug bit

me. Coming from a non-entrepreneurial

family who believes in a fixed income, pen-

sion fund and medical benefits, I had to do

the right thing and finish my four year

teaching degree, she says.

After her degree she went on to teach at

Goodwood Park Primary, and in 2015 decid-

ed to quit teaching and get formal cake deco-

rating and pastry training. On 10 May 2015

she officially opened her home-based cake

business.

Being a lover of sweet things, but also a

lover of fashion, I could not resist the name

Style Me Sweet. And like any start-up, it

hasnt always been easy, she says.

Cake decorating is hard work. You have

to wear many hats that dont have anything

to do with decorating like accounting, of-

fice work, quotes, deliveries, shopping, dish

washing and endless phone calls and emails.

Every now and then you might get to deco-

rate a cake! she adds laughingly.

I love that I can use my creative energy

making things that make people happy.

Creative energy brings happiness

Lesley Lewis with her winning masterpiece.
