talk to us...

The police and enforcement agencies

from the City of Cape Town came un-

der attack this past weekend after

breaking up an illegal drag race gath-

ering in Eerste River.

According to the City, supporters of

the drag racing event turned on the po-

lice and enforcement agencies while

they were conducting an integrated

operation on Sunday afternoon.

JP Smith, Mayco member for safety

and security, says officers swooped on

the illegal drag racing event at a noto-

rious hotspot in the area and found

about 2 000 spectators and 100vehicles.

A total of 26 suspects were arrested

for drunken driving, and five others

for various offences including mali-

cious damage to property and riotous

behaviour when spectators started

stoning the traffic services tow truck.

Smith said 30vehicleswere suspend-

ed, 315 fines issued including 54 for un-

licensed drivers, 35 for unlicensedmo-

tor vehicles and 172 for speeding.

The absolute disregard for the law

is simply astonishing. Attacks on our

staff as well as the police are becoming

far too commonplace. I am very con-

cerned about the type of mentality we

are encountering during many of our

enforcement operations. The public is

quick to point fingers, yet when offi-

cers do act, we see the type of response

we did on Sunday, Smith said.

TRAFFIC WOES: RESIDENTS SEEK RELIEF

Bridge to blame

RICHARD ROBERTS

@richardjohn_rj

W

hen will Saxdowns Road be open for

traffic?

This is the question on the lips of

many Kuils River residents seeking relief

from the heavy traffic congestion current-

ly plaguing motorists in the area.

Should the part of Saxdowns Road be-

tween Langverwacht and Bottelary Road

eventually open, it will help alleviate con-

gestion on two of the main routes currently

carrying the bulk of the traffic Van Rie-

beeck and Amandel roads.

The matter regarding the date of comple-

tion once again came under the spotlight at

a meeting held recently.

Many motorists have to sit in traffic for

hours daily and the issue pops up at many

community meetings where answers are

sought.

The construction of a bridge across the

Bottelary River seems to be the only thing

standingbetweenmotorists anda stress-free

peak hour.

Thebridge isunder constructionand is set

to be completed by July or mid-August if

all goes according to plan, said Brett Her-

ron, Mayco member for transport.

He said construction at the bridge has not

stopped, as previously stated by a Rouxville

resident.

The road has been constructed up to the

bridge on both sides and the bridge over the

Bottelary River is still under construction.

Once the deck of the bridge has been com-

pleted, the construction of the road can be

completed. The plan is to open the road by

the end of July ormid-August, Herron said.

He highlighted that it must be noted that

these are provisional time frames, depend-

ing on unforeseen challenges or bad weath-

er.The initial provisional date of completion

of the road was 31 December 2015.

The project is being funded by a develop-

er by means of development contributions

that become due to the City as development

takes place, Herron said.

He said the City and the developer entered

into an agreement whereby Saxdowns Road

gets constructed.

In this instance the development contri-

butions are paid in advance and the project

relies on the cash flow of the developer.

He explained that the appointment of the

bridge contractor was delayed due to cir-

cumstances beyond the developers control.

Despite this initial delay, the project is

currently progressing well, Herron added.

The estimated final cost for the road being

built by West Coast Civils and bridge being

built by Empa Structures, is R36.5m.

Kuils River residents have

long been wanting Sax

downs Road to be opened

to motorists. The project is

set to be completed by the

end of August, depending

on several factors, says the

City of Cape Town.

T

he City of Cape Town and the Western

Province Motor Club have teamed up

for aweekly event at theKillarney race

track, aimed at curbing illegal street racing.

According to a statement, the Robot Rac-

ing event allows car enthusiasts to race

against each other on a track instead of the

street.

The start of the race is signalled by a traf-

fic light turning fromred to green, hence the

name Robot Racing, and the first driver

crossing the line wins.

All cars undergo a basic safety check be-

fore being permitted onto the track to re-

duce the possibility of incidents involving

the drivers.

The pilot event was held in December,

with the weekly events kicking off in mid-

March.

TheCitys R450 000 contribution split be-

tween the safety and security and tourism,

events and economic development directo-

rates is for a six-month trial.

Maycomember for safety and security, JP

Smith, says in the past they have received

feedback that people resort to illegal street

races because there are too few events at

Killarney.

So the City has literally put its money

where its mouth is by funding these events

and taking the frequency from monthly to

weekly. Its taken awhile to secure the fund-

ing that I alluded to a year ago, but the City

has come to the party and I hope that racing

enthusiasts will join us and stay off the

streets.

According to theWestern ProvinceMotor

Club, race participation is free, but there is

a gate fee of R50. This, together with the

Citys contribution, covers the cost of em-

ploying marshals, security and safety offi-

cials as well as ensuring the presence of

medical staff.

A portion of the Citys contribution will

also be used to cover the cost of erecting

noise abatement structures to minimise

any disturbance to local residents.

These structures have been designed by

and will be erected under the guidance of

the acoustic engineering consultants con-

tracted to theWesternProvinceMotorClub.

A portion will also be utilised to promote

these events and road safety in general via

the well known radio personality Ready D.

We welcome this joint initiative and the

Citys tangible support, says the executive

manager at Killarney International Race-

way, Des Easom.

Killarney is an international multi-pur-

pose event venue with ever growing popu-

larity among racing participants, enthusi-

asts and families, and we are committed to

track and road safety for all users motor-

ists, motorcyclists, cyclists and pedestri-

ans,he says.

At Killarney we offer all the excitement

and competition of street racing, but under

safe conditions andas apleasant event expe-

rience.

Plan to end illegal car racing

A new weekly street racing event will be held at Killarney in an attempt to curb illegal racing.

Are you a bigDavidHasselhoff or Baywatch

fan, or ever just wanted to try your hand at

lifesaving?

Well, now is your big chance.

The City of Cape Town issued a statement

recently inviting each and every one who

is keen on trying lifesaving to apply for tem-

porary lifeguard positions at swimming

pools.

The City says although summer is still

somemonths away, its sport and recreation

department had to ensure that its amenities

are ready in time.

Emphasis is placed on safety at all 35 mu-

nicipal swimming pools that need to have

a sufficient number of qualified and compe-

tent lifeguards on duty, they say.

The City says more than 200 temporary

lifeguard positions are available at its pub-

lic swimming pools for the upcoming sum-

mer season.

Suitably qualified individuals may apply

for appointment on a non permanent, sea-

sonal contract basis for the positions of sen-

ior municipal pool lifeguard and municipal

pool lifeguard.

The City says applicants are also invited

to attend free supervised, preseason fitness

training at its Blue Downs and Long Street

swimming pools thatwill be available every

Wednesday and Friday afternoons between

14:00 and 16:00 until 3 June this year.

The peak summer season is the busiest

timeof theyear forus,with thousands flock-

ing to our swimming pools to cool off.

Swimming pools reached a peak of more

than 1million bathers during this past peak

period, making it one of the busiest seasons

inadecadedue to the extremelyhotweather

experienced. We therefore need to have a

team of well trained and competent life-

guards on duty at our amenities to ensure

the safety of our patrons.

Residentswhomeet the criteria for a life-

guard position are encouraged to apply tim-

eously so as not to lose out on this tempo-

rary employment opportunity, says Belin-

da Walker, mayoral committee member for

community services and special projects.

The main swimming pool season com-

mences in October and runs until April

2017. TheCity says the lifeguard application

process is rigorous and requires further

training and testing for the prospective can-

didates. Each lifeguard has to meet require-

ments in line with the qualifying standards

put in place by Lifesaving South Africa, the

City says.

Senior municipal pool lifeguards must

have a grade 10 certificate, a valid lifeguard

certificate would be an advantage, they

should have the ability to meet the require-

ments according to the qualifying standard

as per the lifesaving SA certificate, and at

least 24 months relevant experience.

Proven supervisory experience would al-

so be an advantage.

Candidates should be physically fit and

able-bodied, have a clear criminal record

and no criminal cases pending outcome or

awaiting trial. Printed application forms

are available at the district offices, and ap-

plications close on Friday, 6 May.

Titles nothing new for Zo: Zo, the Chinchilla original long haired cat of Von

Schreuder from Kenridge, was the top cat in the adult category at the combined cat

championship categories of four cat clubs in the hall of the Dutch Reformed Church in

Durbanville last Saturday. With a full name of VonCherie St Zo, titles are nothing new

to this 10monthold feline. She has previously won the junior champion and double

kitten champion titles. Her proud owner is a member of the Cat Association of South

Africa. It was a historic cat championship as it was the first in which a cat club affiliated

with the SA Cat Council combined with three independent cat clubs. PHOTO: ANDR BAKKES

esidents in Highbury and Highbury

Park might still have to endure heavy

traffic congestion for quite some time,

but those who use New Nooiensfontein

Drive and the Stellenbosch Arterial to exit

the area might have some relief in 2018.

Speaking at a communitymeeting held in

Highbury earlier this month, John van

Rheede, chairperson of the NGO Highbury

Foundation, said several plans are in the

pipeline to help alleviate the traffic prob-

lem, but it might still take some time.

We had a meeting with the City of Cape

Town last year. Our concern, as most of you

would agree, isNewNooiensfonteinDrive.

We asked why they could not widen

Nooiensfontein as they have sufficient land

to make a dual carriage road which will

make it easier for people to get in and out

of the area ... [but] they did not buy into

that, Van Rheede said.

He said theCity indicated theywould look

into the matter; perhaps make some

changes. But these are cosmetic changes,

as in the case of a slipway they arewidening

near Belhar, Van Rheede added.

Van Rheede explained some of the future

plans regarding roads in the Kuils River ar-

ea, as outlined by the department of roads

and stormwater.

He said three areas have been identified

by the City for road upgrades and construc-

tion. They are Kommetjie, Bloubergstrand

and Kuils River.

Some of the future changes for the Kuils

River area include the Belhar Main Road

which will be linked to Stellendale, he said.

Another is Erica Drive in Belhar which

will be linked to Belhar Road via a bridge.

VanRheede said the plans for the projects

will commence between 2016/2017 to be

completed by 2019/2020.

The extension of Saxdowns Road from

Sunbird Park north towards the Stellen-

bosch Arterial is also on the cards, he said.

It is believed that Van Riebeeck Road will

also be widened.

This is the information we have on the

future, Van Rheede said.

However, it appears that your traffic

problems will only be resolved in 2018.

Rolene Plaatjies (28) en haar jonger suster, Carin Adendorf (25), sit op n bed in n kamer waar

hulle nou al twee weke woon. Die vroue deel hul beddens met hul kinders. Hulle het na Geveva

House getrek nadat hul huis in Augustus verlede jaar afgebrand het. FOTOS: RICHARD ROBERTS

@richardjohn_rj

V

ir baie inwoners by die Geneva House,

n skuiling vir behoeftiges in Stratford

in Eersterivier, is n lewe op straat die

enigste uitweg.

Dis nou te s indien n uitsettingsbevel wat

verlede jaar op die bestuur gedien is, hier uit-

gevoer word.

Die skuiling huisvesmeer as 100 volwasse-

nes en kinders meestal mishandelde vroue

en hul kinders.

Die uitsettingsbevel wat hulle nou in die

gesig staar is in Desember 2015 deur dieWes-

Kaapse hooggeregshof aan Geneva Claasen,

die stigter van die skuiling, namens die pro-

vinsiale minister van vervoer en openbare

werke, uitgereik.

Twee weke gelede is hulle herinner om die

plek te verlaat. Meeste van die vroue het eg-

ter geweier en die polisie is uitgeroep om die

situasie te kalmeer.

Dinge het weer na normaal teruggekeer by

die skuiling met altesame 31 kamers, maar

net tydelik.

Een van die vroue by die skuiling sonder

n ander heenkome, is Sanna Ferreira (60).

Sanna, oorspronklik van Willowmore in die

Oos-Kaap, het in haar donker, klein kamer

aan TygerBurger vertel dat sy geen familie

of vriende in die Kaap het bywie sy kan gaan

aanklop om huisvesting nie.

Sanna het jare gelede na Landsdowne in

die suidelike voorstede verhuis op soek na

werk. Sy het n drankprobleem ontwikkel en

dinge was nooit weer dieselfde nie. Ek het

met iemand baklei en die persoon aange-

rand. Dis hoe ek hier beland het. Die polisie

het my na ouma Geneva gebring, vertel sy.

Sanna woon al agt jaar by die skuiling.

My blyplek is eintlik Willowmore, maar

ek weet nie of daar nog enigeen vanmymen-

se is nie, s sy. Sanna is n diabeet en ly ook

aan ho bloeddruk.

Twee susters, Rolene Plaatjies (28) en Ca-

rin Adendorf (25), is die laaste twee vroue

wat na die skuiling gebring is.

Die susters, hul kinders en ma, Eva du

Plessis (65), deel n kamer met ses ander.

Ons huis het in Augustus verlede jaar af-

gebrand. Ons het by familie gebly, maar hul-

le het moeg geraak vir ons. Ons is nou twee

wekehier, sRolene.Albei shulle voelwel-

kom by die skuiling en dat mense behulp-

saam is. As hulle ons uitsit, weet ek nie

waarheen ons sal gaan nie, s Rolene.

Die stigter, Geneva (67), s sy is ookmoede-

loos. Sy het oor die jare heen nie net behoefti-

ge vroue en kinders ingeneem nie, maar ook

agt pleegkinders as haar eie aangeneem.

Een van hulle is die 30-jarige Shaun Hol-

land. Shaun is verstandelik gestremd nadat

hy as vyfjarige met n baksteen teen die kop

raakgegooi is, vertel Geneva.

Haar bekommernis is nie net vir die vroue

en kinders nie, maar ook vir die gestremdes

en die swak bejaardes. Die jongste kind by

die skuiling is n drie maande oue baba.

Ek soek net n alternatiewe plek vir die

vroue enkinders.Hulle (die departement) sal

moet plek kry vir die kinders, s Gevena.

Sy s baie mense word hierdeur geraak.

Baie van die kinders en mense is erg ge-

traumatiseer, s sy.

Die departement van vervoer en openbare

werke het teen druktyd nog nie op navrae ge-

reageer nie.

Sanna Ferreira (60)

woon al agt jaar by

Geneva House. Sy s

sy het geen ander

heenkome nie, maar

sal saam met die

stigter moet trek

indien n uitsettings

bevel uitgevoer

word.

Mymoena Gideon (37) en haar seun, Yaseen, staan by die ingang van die gesin se kamer by die

Geneva House. Mymoena deel die kamer met haar twee kinders.

Geneva Claasen,

stigter van Geneva

House, s sy soek n

alternatiewe skuiling

vir die vroue en

kinders. Sy vrees dat

hulle op straat sal

eindig.

wo home-made guns and a toy gun are

among the items confiscated by the po-

lice in the Blue Downs policing pre-

cinct during the past week.

According to police spokesperson Cap-

tainNomathembaMuavhaa total of six fire-

arms were confiscated.

One of the firearms was a Magnum cali-

bre revolverwith six roundsof ammunition

found in the same vicinity where an off-du-

ty police officer was shot dead on Friday

night in Thubelitsha, Delft, Muavha said.

She said a 23-year-old man was searched

following the incident and the firearm was

found in his possession.

Another firearm was confiscated in

Kleinvlei on the samenight this time from

a suspect who was involved in a suspected

hijacking in Forest Heights, Eerste River.

The police got the description of the sus-

pects from the victim. The information led

to the successful arrest of one of the sus-

pects in Tuscany Glen with a firearm in his

possession, Muavha said. The 21-year-old

male suspect is from Khayelitsha.

Muavha said onWednesday during a spe-

cial operation, whereby a search warrant

was executed at a house in Extension 6 in

Mfuleni, police found a Norinco firearm

with eight rounds of ammunition.

A 38-year-old man was arrested.

This arrest was executed two streets

away fromwhere the policewere busyhold-

ing an imbizo with the community to

strengthen relations with the residents and

encourage them to participate in fighting

crime, Muavha said.

All three suspects have been charged

with the possession of unlicensed firearms.

The remainder of the firearms were con-

fiscated across the cluster which include

the Mfuleni, Kuils River, Kleinvlei, Delft,

Elsies River, Ravensmead and Bellville

South police stations.

S

estien aspirantskrywers het tweeweke

gelede n skrywerslypskool in Brac-

kenfell bygewoon.

Dit is aangebied deur Ernie Mellet, voor-

sitter van dieATKVSuurbraak enhoofraad-

gewer van die Amateurskrywersbond

(ASB), ondersteun deur sy broer, Louis.

Dit was hul vyfde slypskool, met die vori-

ges wat in Suurbraak, Stilbaai, Caledon en

Stellenbosch plaasgevind het.

Buiten diewaardevolle inligtingwat hulle

ontvanghet, het elke kursusganger ook twee

boeke (Trilogie van spanning en Storieskryf

is lekker!) ontvang. Die skrywers kon ook

vanhul eiewerkvoorlees in die storiefeesge-

deelte van die program.

Volgens eenvandie aspirantskrywerswat

die slypskool bygewoon het, Corrie Laub-

scher, het die volgende wenke uitgestaan:

. Jou storie moet deeglik nagevors en uit-

eengesit wees. Maak notas hoe mense praat

en gebruik dit in jou storie. Streekdialekte

van Afrikaans is net so belangrik soos sui-

wer Afrikaans by sekere karakters. Dit gee

sprankel en andersheid.

. Emosie speel altyd n groot rol. Dit ver-

oorsaak konflik of samewerking, n reaksie

of teenreaksie. Skets helder prentjies in die

leser se brein van hoe jou karakters lyk. Jou

hoof-, by- en blitskarakters moet almal ver-

skillend wees en jou hoofkarakters moet

diepte kry. Beskryf hulle eers op afsonderli-

ke karaktersbladsye vir jouself. Jou karak-

ters moet jou leser oortuigend meesleur en

dit kom net met skryfoefening. Streef

na die verrassingsfaktor!

. In verhale verdwyn die skrywer agter

sy of haar karakters en raak onbelangrik.

Uitgewers beoordeel jou net opwat voor hul-

le is. Dit is beter om skryf as n stokperdjie

te beoefen met n moontlike boek of digbun-

del later as n bonus.

. Saampublikasie deur beginnerskry-

wers word aanbeveel. Moenie tou opgooi as

werk teruggestuur word nie. Werk net har-

der. Maak jou probleme uitdagings.

Ernie werk op die oomblik aan n gids vir

grondslagskrywers en -digters. Die gids sal

wenke, opleiding en raad verskaf. Die twee-

de deel van die gids sal die werk van meer

as 30 nuwe skrywers en digters bevat. Dit is

n keur van die ongeveer 1 200 gedigte en 150

kortverhale en romanswat dieASB die afge-

lope drie jaar ontvang het.

Die ASB verskaf n gratis diens aan begin-

nerskrywers vir die redigering van en raad

en kommentaar oor skrywes van enige skry-

wer in Suid-Afrika. Meer as 100 skrywers en

digters oor die hele SA is reeds betrokke.

EVERYDAY TYRES

RICHARD ROBERTS

@richardjohn_rj

A

plan to prevent municipal refuse bins

from being stolen is currently under-

way and almost near completion by

the City of Cape Town.

The plan entails equipping all 240 litre

wheelie bins with an electronic identifica-

tion tag this waymaking it easier tomoni-

tor service delivery and to recover stolen in-

frastructure, the City says.

The tags will allow the City to monitor

each bin serviced and to identify bins that

are lost, stolen or illegally serviced.

Every now and then municipal refuse

bins are stolen fromhomes, sometimesused

by the culprits to hide their stolen items.

Each week Kuils River residents are en-

couraged not to place their bins outside the

night before collection day, due to criminal

elements scratching in it.

Recently during a meeting, ward 11 coun-

cillor Jacob Jacobs explained to neighbour-

hoodwatchmembers and residents the pur-

pose of the electronic tags, encouraging

those in attendance not to remove it.

The tag is only there to help identify the

owner, and to prevent it from being stolen,

Jacobs said.

So far most of the Citys refuse bins have

been equipped with the tag.

Last week Ernest Sonnenberg, Mayco

member for utility services, confirmed it.

Sonnenberg said the process of tagging

bins involves teams, on refuse removal day,

walking public streets and tagging bins

placed outside for collection.

During this process each tagged bin is

manually scanned and data transmitted to

a back-office where the bin is geo-coded to

a specific property.

For various reasons, not all bins are

available to be tagged on collection day, and

thus repeat visits are required, Sonnen-

berg said.

To date, more than 90% of all properties

have been linked to at least one bin.

Sonnenberg further explained the teams

will be on the ground until at least June this

year.

At which time the number of properties

still unlinked to a tagged bin will be as-

sessed and this information used to deter-

mine what method will be best to register

remaining bins.

In a statement issued in November 2014

the City said the tagging system could help

save the municipality millions of rands an-

nually.

The City services in excess 800 000 wheel-

ie bins each week.

Tags on bins should

help prevent theft

Midwifery is still very much alive and well

and even has its own commemorative day.

The International Day of the Midwife was

declared by the World Health Organisation

and will be celebrated around the globe on

5 May, with Stellenbosch University mid-

wifery students following suit.

They will be hosting a symposium on

Tuesday 3 May in celebration of the day, to

recognise all hardworking midwives and to

bring awareness to maternal mental health

and wellbeing.

The class has invited provincial minister

of health Nomafrench Mbombo to share the

day with them, as it also marks the celebra-

tion of the 60th birthday of the universitys

Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences

and the 100th birthday of the Mowbray Ma-

ternity Hospital.

The event will be hosted at the Education

Building at the universitys Tygerberg cam-

pus and sponsors are welcome.

V Sponsors can contact [email protected] or cindy.

Di ryers trap vir doel

D

aar is n spesiale groepie fietsryers

met n interessante naamwat hulle be-

ywer om te trap vir n doel in die Ty-

gerberg-omgewing.

S s een van die fietsryers, Deon Ros-

souw, watTygerBurger laat weet het van die

pogings van die Mamils Cycling Club om

fietsry as sport, asook die verhouding met

motoriste te bevorder.

Indien lesers wonder oor hul naam: Ma-

mils staan vir Middle-aged Men in Lycra,

en die groep ryers kom gewoonlik Saterdag-

oggende by die Majik Forest-park byeen, s

Deon.

Die groep het ontstaan toe n klompie

middeljarige mans van die plaaslike kerk

agtergekom het dat hulle dieselfde passie

deel, vertel hy.

Die kern van die groepie ry ongeveer die

afgelope 13 jaar saam fiets, met nuwelinge

wat daarna aangesluit het. Dit het n absolu-

te instelling geword om hulle by hul klub-

huis by Majik Forest op te merk, meen De-

on.

Die groepie het baie beskeie begin, maar

kan nou al spog met heelwat lede wat die

(Absa Cape) Epic al by meer as een geleent-

heid voltooi het.Moet dus nie dink die klom-

pie ouer manne sal jou sommer toelaat om

vir hulle weg te ry nie! lag hy.

Deon s geen lid word ooit agtergelaat ty-

dens ritte as gevolg vanmeganiese probleme

of onfiksheid nie.

Inteendeel, hierdie vriende deel al me-

kaar se goeie en slegte tye met ondersteu-

ning en deelname.

Die groephouookelke jaar tesamemethul

gesinne n prysuitdeling, en hulle het selfs

hul eie wynetiket en klubkleure, s Deon.

Een van hul doelwitte is om n verskil te

maak deur n goeie voorbeeld te stel tydens

ritte. Padrelsword streng nagekom en ons

hoop om s wedersydse respek tussen moto-

riste en fietsryers te bewerkstellig.

Hy s van hul welwillendheidsprojekte is

om in die nabye toekoms die karretjie van

n gestremde op een van hul groot toere te

trek.

As julle dus hierdiemanne op die pad te-

kom, groet gerus of gaan ry saammet hulle.

History was made when disabled sports-

women Chaeli Mycroft from Plumstead and

Anita Engelbrecht from Welgemoed were

granted permission to participate in this

After robust engagement around legali-

ties to claim the womens right to enter the

gruelling competition, theChaeli Sports and

two had been given the thumbs up.

HiltonMurray, an avid supporter of Anita

Engelbrecht the duo earlier this year com-

pleted the Two Oceans Marathon posted

reation organisations Facebook page.

advisedbyMacChitja, chairmanof theCom-

rades Marathon Association (CMA), that

Manweer voor oor seuns

RICHARD ROBERTS

@richardjohn_rj

D

ie man wat daarvan aangekla word

dat hy altesaam agt minderjarige

seuns van Eersterivier en Kleinvlei

seksueel aangerand en verkrag het, het

verledeweekweer indieBlueDowns-land-

droshof verskyn.

Die 48-jarige verdagte, wie se identiteit

nog nie bekendgemaak is nie, staar 18

klagte in die gesig. Dit sluit in seksuele

aanranding, verkragting en seksuele uit-

buiting.

Die seuns het glo soms by die man se

huis inForestVillage oornag,waarhyhul-

le aangerand het. Die meeste slagoffers,

tussen 8 en 13 jaar, is anaal gepenetreer,

het die hof tydens n vroere verskyning

gehoor.

Verskeie gemeenskapsorganisasies wat

gekant is teen dieman se vrylating, het die

hofsaak verlede Woensdag bygewoon. Die

saak was op die hofrol vir nborgtogaan-

soek. Dis egter vir n vierde keer teenge-

staan.

Onder die organisasies teenwoordig

WoensdagwasdieCommunityWomenAc-

tion en die Kleinvlei-groep, Oog op die

Kind n organisasie bemoeidmet kinder-

beskerming. Die ouers van die kinders

woon nie die hofsaak by nie.

Adv. Shameema Lakay, regsverteen-

woordiger van die beskuldigde, het tydens

die oggend se verrigtinge verduidelik

waarom hy op borg vrygelaat moet word.

Een van die redes was dat hy nog in

diens is van die Universiteit van die Wes-

Kaapland, maar dat hy geen betaling ont-

vang nie.

Lakay het verder aangevoer dat haar

klint sy borgtogvoorwaardes sal nakom

en die hofverrigtinge sal bywoon.

n Paar van die faktorewat sy aangevoer

het die hof moet oorweeg, is: haar klint

het geen vorige oortredings nie; hy het n

vaste adres; hy is nie n vlugrisiko nie; en

hyt nie n geskiedenis van misdrywe nie

Lakay het ook aangevoer dat die klag-

staat vaag saamgestel is met betrekking

tot die ouderdomme van die slagoffers en

datums waarop die voorvalle plaasgevind

het.

Die staat beweer dat die beskuldige se

modus operandi is omkinders geskenke te

gee en hulle sodoende te verhoed om enig-

iets te s,maar dalkwas dit verjaarsdagge-

skenke, het sy ges.

Lakay het ook verwys na die petisie wat

opgetrek is teen haar klint se vrylating.

Sy het ges dis alombekend dat die ge-

meenskap daar buite geskok is oor die

voorval, maar dat sulke gevalle daagliks

in die koerante verskyn.

Daar is niks spesiaals aan die geval nie

en ook nie dat n petisie opgetrek is nie,

het sy ges.

Volgens haar is die saak nie uitsonder-

lik nie.

Vandag is dit groot nuus, maar mre is

dit iets anders.

Die ondersoekbeampte in die saak, ao. Izak Gordon, verduidelik hier aan hofgangers wat in die

hofsaak van die agt minderjarige seuns beslis is. FOTO: RICHARD ROBERTS

Two sides to

every story;

only one truth

There are always two sides to every

story.

Theres the side we see, and then

theres the side we shouldnt.

In a world of capitalism and corpora-

tions, one has to wonder how much of

the information we consume is being

force-fed to us and how much is truly

objective reporting.

In the US, for example, a number of

independent broadcasters have been

gaining momentum with the help of the

internet.

With no influence

from advertisers

(or the presidential

candidates they

support), the

stories they report

on and how they

report on them, are

vastly different

from mainstream

broadcasters.

It was BBC

executive John

Reith who first

outlined the role of

journalists as to

educate, inform and entertain. Education

and information are the two most valua-

ble commodities of the modern age, yet,

very often, we are too busy looking for

entertainment to pay attention to these

elements.

More importantly, as early as 1787,

print journalism is often referred to as

The Fourth Estate, which, in a nut-

shell, refers to a political or social force

that isnt always officially recognised.

The medias role in changing the world

for the better in the past is undeniable.

Here, for example, photographers like

Sam Nzima showed the rest of the world

the reality of Apartheid South Africa,

even when the government was blocking

these images from the local press.

A look at the history books shows that

governmental impact on the media is not

uncommon, often with disastrous effects.

The Nazis ruled their people with the

help of Joseph Goebbels and his propa-

ganda while a string of American presi-

dents tried to control how their citizens

got their news about the Vietnam War.

The only difference between the 1940s,

1970s and now, is the shift of power. As

capitalism started to steadily rise in

popularity and influence after the Second

World War, the business sector slowly

gained more power over the people who

should have been governing them.

A colleague once pointed out that every

news story should be measured by who

stands to benefit most from it. The news

looks a little different when you start

considering it with this question in mind.

n Gesaghebbende onafhanklike

navorsingsentrum, die Centre

of Development and Enterprise

(CDE), het in Januarie

gerapporteer oor The real cost

of compliance: The impact of

South African regulatory

requirements on independent

schools. Hulle bevind onder

meer dat die private skoolsek-

tor hopeloos oorgereguleer is

en veel hor eise aan private

skole gestel word as aan

staatskole; en dat die koste van

die rompslomp om n private

skool te registreer dit feitlik

onmoontlik maak om klein

private skole te registreer.

Hulle bereken byvoorbeeld

dat die werklike koste om n

private skool te registreer

tussen R270 000 en R290 000

beloop, ongeag die grootte van

die skool. Dit vreet hulpbronne

op wat vir opvoeding bedoel is.

Maar dit plaas ook registra-

sie buite die bereik van enige

mikroskooltjie. Dit is n

skending van sulke skooltjies

se wetlike en grondwetlike reg

om te bestaan.

Dieselfde owerheid wat

hierdie laste op private onder-

wys plaas, bedryf een van die

slegste skoolstelsels ter wreld,

volgens sy eie verslae. Die

gevolg is honderdduisende

desperate ouers soos Roelof

Coertzen wie se brief op 13

April (TB Bellville) verskyn

het. Hulle bel en e-pos my

daagliks.

Dit moet ons dus nie verbaas

dat daar letterlik duisende

onwettige private skooltjies

in al die gemeenskappe in die

land is nie selfs in die

armstes. In n vorige ondersoek

het CDE bevind dat hierdie

skooltjies beter resultate lewer

as beide staats- en geregistreer-

de private skole.

n Mens slaan jou hande

saam oor die pronkende

politici en opgeblase ampte-

naartjies wat probeer jag maak

op hierdie skooltjies wat slegs

bestaan omdat dieselfde politici

en amptenare sulke vrot

onderwys verskaf. Wat hulle

Kobus of Kuils River queried

the double increase recorded for

his water usage (Hoekom

skielik die groot waterlesing,

TB, 20 April). My latest meter

reading also reflects exactly

double the amount recorded last

month, amounting to a cost of

over R900 extra. My December

and January payments differed

by R1000, so it seems to seesaw

from month to month regard-

less of efforts to contain costs.

R427.13 has been charged for

sewerage. My previous payment

was R137.25. I know that this is

calculated as a percentage of

the water usage but I am a lone

pensioner with no domestic

help. My cistern is not leaking.

I have not had diarrhoea nor

am I incontinent but it seems

the toilet is another luxury I

must forego if I am to continue

living in my own home.

The meter readings are all

recorded as being actual

readings but I question the

validity of these statements, the

honesty of the meter readers

and the powers that manage the

City of Cape Town. The crea-

tion of a mega city obviously

creates a bigger basket for

greater profit from ill gotten

gains. Kobus and I are surely

not the only suckers, or are we

just victims of Murphys law?

T

he Western Cape branch of

Community Chest and Tha-

les South Africa Systems

celebrated their second annual

Thales bursary awards evening

last week.

The event was held at the Port-

side building on Cape Towns

Foreshore on Tuesday 19 April.

The schools participating and

who received their bursary

awards include the high schools

Kleinvlei, Forest Heights and

Malibu in Blue Downs along

with the high schools Khanyol-

wethu, Joe Slovo and Sizimisele.

The Community Chest sup-

ports an education focused

project to assist disadvantaged

students from a selection of Cape

Town schools. This year six pu-

pils each received R100 000 to-

wards their tertiary education in

maths, science and technology.

The Fast Tracking Pathways

to Success project, in associa-

tion with Thales South Africa

Systems, sees R8.5 million in-

vested into education over five

years in six schools to improve

education in communities

where Thaless advanced Rail

Signalling System is being sup-

plied. The carefully designed

programme, in its second year,

not only benefits the bursary

winners, but also many other

students due to improved man-

agement of these institutions.

Community Chests project co-

ordinator, Yumna Martin, says

they are, primarily, investing in

the future of the youth.

We want to invest in students

who work hard academically,

andwehelp to provide themwith

the opportunity to access terti-

ary education. With Thales, we

are helping to give back to com-

munities by investing in these

six schools over five years, says

Martin. Students are often left

to their own devices in terms of

education. With these program-

mes we are able to really invest

in their future and give them op-

portunities to grow. It speaks to

communities to be able to sup-

port and mentor the youth.

Ethyn Arrow, from Malibu

High School, is a first year com-

puter science student at the Uni-

versity of the Western Cape and

plans to continue there until he

has completed his honours.

After that, he wants to ex-

plore the world the United

States and Europe to broaden

his horizons before embarking

on a career in computer science.

The bursary makes every-

thing easier and more realistic

and it lightens the burden onmy

parents, says Arrow.

Faybian Arendse matriculat-

ed from Kleinvlei High School

and now attends Stellenbosch

University where he is studying

a Bachelor of Science degree

with a focus on human biology

and psychology. Hewould like to

get his honours and masters.

The bursary gives me the op-

tion to choose to further my edu-

cation, says Arendse.

Hazelle Booysen attended For-

est Heights High School before

going to Northlink Technical

College to study Mechanical En-

gineering, a field that has inter-

ested her since she watched her

dadwork on cars as a young girl.

After just one semester, she

can already dismantle and re-

pair various aspect of an alterna-

tor and knows how to service

a car, showing the guys in her

class a thing or two.

af met 14 gesoneerde uitgawes. Die

koerant het ook sy drukoplaag in seke-

re gebiedeverhoog vanMei afword 301 119

uitgawes van di koerant weekliks in die

noordelike voorstede versprei!

Die tweenuweuitgawes,TygerBurgerTy-

ger Valley en TygerBurger De Grendel, sal

soos die ander 12 uitgawes propvol hiper-

plaaslike nuus wees.

TygerBurger se verslaggewers is elk ver-

antwoordelik vir n spesifieke gebied.

Hiers nie n luukse van spesialisverslagge-

wers nie die joernalis wat die kennisge-

wing oor die kerkbasaars skryf, is dieselfde

eenwat verslagmoet lewer oor die subraad-

vergadering, s Marita Meyer, TygerBur-

ger se redakteur.

Dis dieselfde joernalis wat die voorblad-

berig moet skryf, asook die onderskrifte

van die skolefotos.

Die verslaggewers wat op die twee nuwe

uitgawes gaan werk, is Brenden Ruiter en

AndrBakkes (TygerBurgerDeGrendel), en

Michelle Linnert (TygerBurger Tyger Val-

ley).

Die enigste nuus wat werklik vir mense

saak maak, is ni dit wat ver van hulle ge-

beur nie, maar dit wat hul sak, hul kinders,

hul vullisdrom of hul straat raak.

Ons boor daardie aartjie raak, elke

week, s Michelle Linnert. Andr wou ook

vertel van die aartjie wat raakgeboor word,

maar Michelle het hom voorgespring.

Hy gaan onverstoord voort: Elke per-

soon in j straat het n merkwaardige sto-

rie. Wie gaan dit vertel? Wie sal hierdie

soort stories vir die volgende tien jaar kan

vertel? Die immergroen, hiper-plaaslike

koerante, ds wie!

Volgens Brenden gee gemeenskapsjoer-

nalistiek die genoegdoening dat jy vir men-

se saakmaak.

Lesers glo dat as hulle jou bel, jy n ver-

skil kan maak. Hulle dreig selfs die Stad

Kaapstad met die koerant, s Brenden.

Elke koerant het ook sy eie advertensie-

verteenwoordiger wat klinte in di gebie-

de sal bedien.

Michiel Engelbrecht is verantwoordelik

vir dieDeGrendel-uitgawe enMarjoryMas-

honga vir die Tyger Valley-uitgawe.

Ons voorsien in die behoeftes van enige

grootte adverteerder van die viswinkel op

die hoek wat net in die een sone wil adver-

teer, tot die kettingwinkelgroep met ver-

skeie takke in ons verspreidingsarea wat

sal baat by advertensies in al die sones, s

W

at beteken dit om God se kind

te wees?

Dt is die ondertoon vanpas-

toor Lodewyk Spies van Sonstraal se nuwe

boek: Bid s vir n wonderwerk.

Lodewyk het die 40-dag-gebedsuitdaging

in rekordtyd geskryf nadat hy n uitdaging

van Carpe Diem Media ontvang het.

Toe hymet sy debuutwerk begin het, het

Lodewyk geweet dat hy sy idees doeltref-

fend moes kommunikeer.

Mense is besig; meeste mense is nie lus

om n 700-blad-boek te lees nie hulle het

nie die tyd of kopspasie daarvoor nie.

Dis weens di feit dat hy besluit het om

die boek s te skryf dat die leser so twee

blaaieperdagoor n tydperkvan40daekan

lees.

Ek dink daars genoeg voorbeelde uit

die Bybel oor waar 40 dae vandaan kom,

s Lodewyk.

Vroeg in boek

Sommervroeg indieboekword lesers ge-

vra om n lysie wonderwerke wat hulle no-

dig het, saam te stel en te rangskik van

klein wonderwerke tot grotes. In sy boek

konfronteer Lodewyk lesers met hul lysies

en hoe mense deur die hekkies voor hulle

kan kom.

Vir hom is dit belangrik dat mense ver-

staan wat dit vir hulle beteken om n kind

van God te wees en Bid s vir n wonder-

werk is gemik daarop om lesers te leer oor

wie hulle is en hoe omhulmanier van dink

te herposisioneer.

Hierdie is nie n resepteboek nie; ek wil

vir jou verduidelik hoewerkdie kombuis.

Lodewyk s die boek praat meer oor ge-

bedsinfrastruktuur.

Een van my gunsteling-onderwerpe

waaroor ek praat is WhatsApp-gebedsket-

tings hoor God jou oor jy baie is, of hoor

Hy jou omdat jy glo?

Uiteindelikmoet jy genoeg selfvertroue

h om te s: As ek regtig glo Hys my pa,

dan kan ek op n baie ander manier met

Hom interaksie h.

Verhouding

Lodewyk voel dat godsdiens dikwels

mense se verhouding met God professio-

neel maak en dat daar geen ruimte vir vry-

moedigheid is nie. n Mens moet volgens

hom dieselfde verhouding met God h as

wat gewone kinders met hul pas het.

Nog n onderwerp in die boek is die

vraag: Het my gebede ten doel om God se

arm te draai?

Lodewyk s Christene vra soms vir goed

wat God waarskynlik klaar vir hulle ge-

doen het.

Oor jy nie weet hoe om Hom op Sy

woord te vat nie, sien jy nie die realiteit

van daai goed in jou lewe uitkom nie.

Wanopvatting

Met Bid s vir n wonderwerk wil Lode-

wyk die wanopvatting dat wonderwerke

soos dobbel is endatmenseniekonsekwen-

sie in hul lewens hoef in te bou nie, weer-

spreek.

Hy sal bietjie verder oor die boek uitbrei

wannneer hy op Saterdag 30 April n Bid

anders, leef anders-slypskool by DAria in

Durbanville aanbied.

Die oggend begin 08:30 vir 09:00 en Lode-

wyk s hy gaan deur die loop van die og-

gend van die boek se kernbegrippe be-

spreek en mense aanmoedig om deur die

uitdaging te werk.

Oefen op die skietbaan sodat as jy in die

oorlog kom, weet jy hoe om te skiet.

VKaartjies vir diewerksessie,wat tot 13:00 sal duur,

kos R300 en is by www.voelgoedwinkel.co.za be

skikbaar. Die boek is ook by di webtuiste te koop.

WEN! WEN! WEN!

V 25 lesers kan elk dubbelkaartjies vir die werkses

sie wen. SMS die woord bid gevolg deur jou naam

en eposadres na 45527 voor 09:00 op Vrydag 29

April. Wenners sal Vrydag per epos in kennis gestel

T

he annual Slave Route Challenge,

which sees runners taking on a route

that encompasses anarrayof SouthAf-

ricasmost historical sites, has become a fa-

vourite on the calendar of novice and elite

runners alike.

The race, of which Tyger-

Burger is a media sponsor,

takes place on Mothers Day

(Sunday 8 May).

Event spokespersonFatima

Allie is extremely passionate

about this race.

Born in the Bo-Kaap, Allie

was raised in Walmer Estate

and went to school in District

Six. She is a self-professed de-

fendant of the Cape Malays.

When it comes to the Slave

Route Challenge itself, we

look at our ancestors who

came from Indonesia, Java

and Malaysia.

They were the ones who

came with all the skills; they

were the builders. So my an-

cestors were not slaves per s; my ancestors

were exiled from Indonesia to the Cape,

says Allie.

She goes on to say that because the slaves

were forced to work and interact with other

labourers brought to the area, that is how

all the cultures started to mix and that as

a result started to weave the fabric which

meshes South Africas rich history.

If you look around, the oldest standing

building is the Castle of Good Hope. The

Castle of Good Hopewas built by the slaves.

Look at City Hall and the Grand Parade

all of these iconic and old places and struc-

tures in Cape Town were all built by the

slaves.

Then you realise that there are so many

historical sites throughout Cape Town that

people did not even know of, adds Allie.

Besides the historical aspect the race af-

fords itself to, Allie says there is an amazing

atmosphere of togetherness on race day.

It is the spirit of Ubuntu that you feel.

You will see a grandmother who has never

ever walked (in an event) in her entire life.

She is nowwalking the 5kmwith her grand-

children because her daugh-

ter and her husband are go-

ing to be running the 10km

while their teenager is run-

ning the 21km, so this is a

family event.

It is about people coming

together from all walks of

life, all religious denomina-

tions, from Cape Town and

from out of Cape Town, from

the continent and even over-

seas, she says.

Allie reminded those who

still wish to participate in

the 21km race to enter online

no later than Sunday 24

April. She confirmed that

there will still be opportuni-

ties to enter the other three

events (5km fun run/walk, 10km run and

10km big walk) on Sunday 1 May as well as

Friday 6andSaturday 7MayatCapeTowns

City Hall.

Come and explore this whole journey of

the Slave Route Challenge where you run

through the Castle, District Six, and Gar-

dens, through the Bo-Kaap and the Sea

Point area and back onto the Grand Parade

where you can see the beauty of Cape Town.

What other country can you stand on the

Grand Parade and look to see Table Moun-

tain, Devils Peak, and Signal Hill and then

you see Table Bay? Show me another place

that is as perfect as Cape Town, exclaimed

Allie.

Slaves honoured

step by step

The Slave Route Challenge will take runners past various historical sites linked to slavery,

including buildings such as City Hall.

You too can join the fight against racism as

Peoples Post, sister publication of Tyger-

Burger andCycle of Life, host the first Relay

Against Racism next month.

Taking place on Saturday 28 May at the

Green Point Athletics Stadium, the fun

walk will comprise 22 laps of walking

around the Green Point athletics track,

which each lap representing one round for

each year of South Africas democracy.

The key objective of this event is to unite

our people against all forms of racism and

related intolerances. It also encourages peo-

ple to walk and live a healthier life. More

importantly, it is an opportunity for fami-

lies, friends and colleagues to come togeth-

er, have a fun-filled day and send out a pow-

erful message against racism, says Cycle

of Life director, Rozario Brown.

Children can look forward to some face

painting activities, a jumping castle and ex-

citing spot prizes. Adults stand a chance of

winning some amazing spot prizes, includ-

ing a trip for two on the world famous Blue

Train, return flights between Johannes-

burg and the USA and many more.
