Swartberg spog met nuwe skoolgebou “Ek voel soos iemand wat getrek het na ’n nuwe en beter huis.” So sê Eugene Sonn, skoolhoof van Swartberg Sekondêr, oor die splinternuweskoolgebouwatteen’nkostevan R34 miljoen deur die nasionale onderwysdepartement gefinansier is. Sonn is van mening hulle het voorkeur op die keuringslys geniet omdat hulle ’n beskikbare perseel gehad het en daar dus nie veel ontwrigting was gedurende die twaalf maande boutydperk van die nuwe skool nie. Hy sê die bouery het vlot verloop en die oortrek van die ou na die nuwe skool is binne twee dae afgehandel. “Daar is egter onderrigtyd ingeboet

wat ons hierdie kwartaal moet inhaal. Die departement het nuwe meubels en toerusting voorsien, met die uitsondering van rekenaars.” Sonn sê die skool is gebou om 700 leerders te akkommodeer met 20 klaskamers asook spesialis-klaskamers. “Daar is ook voorsiening gemaak vir kapasiteitsprobleme sou die leerdertal styg met tussen 50 en 100 leerders (na 750 of 800 leerders in totaal) in die nabye toekoms. Die planne maak voorsiening vir die aanbou van ekstra klaskamers.” Sonn sê die eerste fase is so te sê klaar en die tweede fase behels die sloping van die ou skool en die aanlê van sportgronde oor die volgende drie maande. “Die ou saal gaan gebruik word vir funksies en die laaste blok klaskamers

bly behoue en gaan omskep word in ’n volwasse-onderwysopleidingsentrum. Bertram Loriston, direkteur van Overberg Onderwysdistrik, sê hy is geweldigopgewondeoordiegrootaanwins vir Caledon en net so opgewonde omdat Swartberg Primêr ook in die toekoms ’n nuwe skoolgebou gaan kry. Loriston sê die nuwe gebou vir Swartberg Primêr is reeds in die beplanningstadium. Die direkteur sê dié infrastrukstuurprogram word deur die nasionale departement van onderwys ondersteun ten einde plankieskole in die land uit te wis. Hy het ter verduideliking gesê plankieskole is die tydelike strukture waarmee skole gebou is, “en die skole word nou oorgebou as gevolg van gesondheidsrisiko’s wat dit

moontlik kan inhou.” Loriston sê al die skole wat as plankieskole geklassifiseer word moet binne die volgende vyf jaar vervang word. “In die Wes-Kaap is ons plan binne dié tydraamwerk.” Hy het gesê die WesKaap se infrastruktuurplan word as die beste in die land beskou. Die plan dra ook daartoe by dat die leerruimte van die leerder verbeter word, wat tot beter leeruitkomstes sal lei. Die leerder voel daar word omgegee oor sy of haar omgewing en welstand. Dis ook ’n pluspunt vir die gemeenskap, want enige skool is ’n skool vir die gemeenskap en hierdie is ’n skool om op trots te wees. Loriston het die hoop uitgespreek dat die gemeenskap meer betrokke sal wees by die skool. Michaela Sauls, ’n gr. 11-leerder sê

sy is baie opgewonde oor hul nuwe skool. “Die nuwe elektroniese borde gaan die manier van lesse aanbied verbeter.” Marcel Appolis, ’n gr. 12-leerder sê sy wil die nasionale onderwysdepartement bedank. “Ek hoop dat al ons leerders die pragtige nuwe skool opreg sal waardeer.” Blancé Buys, in gr. 10, sê as huishoudkunde-leerder is sy baie opgewonde oor die praktiese klaskamer. “Dit is baie meer gerieflik in vergelyking met die ou een.” Sonn sê groot dank gaan aan Overberg Agri, Sydney Armoed, Anré Begrafnisdienste, Wimpie DIY, opvoeders, leerders, niedoserende personeel, Dawie Abrahams, Howard Brikkels en almal wat gehelp het in hierdie geskiedkundige gebeurtenis.

AGM held by candle light very productive Radio Overberg’s AGM went ahead on 15 April despite loadshedding and freezing cold weather. A record attendance enjoyed the meeting held by candle light and leds. The board members presented a candid picture of the station’s present situation. Finance was a particular focus and was transparently indicated by Alta de Wet, who showed that while the state of affairs was reasonably healthy, there was a need to improve cash flow. A new member for the youth portfolio was accepted to the board in the person of Gurswin Prins. Youth is a priority focus of Radio Overberg for the coming year. The advent of several new presenters and insightful programmes aimed specifically at community needs will be riding the airwaves in the near future.
Station manager, Marne Joubert, is optimistic about the station’s future given the enormous amount of experienced broadcasters available to contribute to the station’s growth. “The commitment of the board and staff is evident in their keen desire to take the station forward and make it as competitive and professional as any other station in the country.”

Rates and taxes to increase If the Theewaterskloof Municipality’s draft budget is accepted and approved as it stands, municipal accounts will increase by between 8% and 9%. This increase will comprise of a 9,5% increase in property rates, an electricity tariff increase of 12,2%, refuse removal, which is set to go up by 16%, sewerage by 9% and water, depending on consumption, by 7%. Executive mayor Chris Punt said in his presentation of the budget to council on 26 March, that the municipality is acutely aware of the impact of the tariff increases on the municipal bill, but can assure residents that it is unavoidable and still insufficient for guaranteed municipal sustainability. Punt said drafting the budget was not an easy process. “Given the limited municipal revenue sources and the great need for a rapidly growing population, of which 53 % are not contributing to taxes and tariffs, the need for continued growth in delivery and the upgrading and development of infrastructure as well as the costs associated with it, the budget was compiled with circumspection, wisdom and sound financial management skills.” Punt said he can, however, report that some encouraging progress has been made in improving the financial health of the Municipality. “Three years ago the Municipality was rated as amongst the least financially sustainable municipalities in the country. “The recent independent financial assessment of INCA, however showed that our financial sustainability rating has improved to that of average when compared to that of other municipalities.” He said the Revenue Collection Committee he established is starting to show positive results. “In 2012/13 our debt recovery rate was 84%. In 2013/14 it increased to 86,7%. Currently it is 89% and we have set ourselves the target
of increasing it to 92% in 2015-’16 and to 95% over the medium term.” Punt said the Municipality is still able to cope with immediate and critical infrastructure and bulk service capacity challenges. “Our concern is not now but three or four years from now.” He added the municipality received a second clean audit in succession. Some of the aspects Punt highlighted include that operating revenue is projected to grow with 2,6% from R454 million to R466 million. Of this income the largest chunk will come from service charges (38%), operating grants, (29%), property rates (16%) and capital grants (8%). The operating expenditure for 2015-’16 amounts to R450,6 million, an increase of R39,9 million (9,7%). Punt furthermore said a capital budget of R60,9 million is proposed for 2015-’16. “The capital budget is primarily funded by grants (R38,5 million), borrowing of R11,5 million and own funds of R10,8 million. He says some of the major capital projects that will be undertaken in the 2015-’16 financial year include the upgrade of the wastewater works in Villiersdorp (R12,5 million) and the upgrade of the Caledon main outfall sewer (R3 million). Also the upgrade of bulk water storage capacity in Riviersonderend (R3,5 million) and new stormwater infrastructure in Phukom in Villiersdorp (R3 million). Further capital projects include the Grabouw wastewater treatment plant (R4 million) and construction of civil services for housing projects (R8,9 million). Also the upgrading of the vehicle fleet (R2 million) and a new electricity cable between Aandblom and Veldblom in Caledon (R3 million) and electricity infrastructure in Santa, Site Saviwa and Riemvasmaak (R5 million) and the extension of the waste transfer station in Grabouw (R3 million).

Vortex het regte pad geloop ANNETTE THERON Sommige inwoners en plaaseienaars van Caledon en Tesselaarsdal was oor Paasnaweek erg onthuts oor ’n vier dae lange Vortex-partytjie op die plaas Hillside, net buite Caledon, wat hul rus glo versteur het. Die koerant het vir Stiffie Cronjé, woordvoerder van Theewaterskloof-munisipaliteit, gevra of daar enige verordening is rakende die goedkeuring van Vortex-partytjies in Theewaterskloof. Cronjé het gesê daar is ’n verordening en dit is vir openbare kommentaar geadverteer, en die kommentaarperiode het op 23 Januarie gesluit. “Vortex het aan al die riglyne en vereistes voldoen en die aansoek is goedgekeur.” Volgens Cronjé het die organiseerders die partytjie vir
bywoning geadverteer, maar nie vir publieke kommentaar nie. Hy het voorts gesê die aansoek is in ’n werksessie hanteer en ná die openbare insette en kommentare volledig hanteer is, is die aansoek vir goedkeuring aan die raad voorgehou. Cronjé sê alle aansoeke word op eie meriete oorweeg. “Deel van die aansoekprosedure is dat die aansoeker omliggende bure se toestemming of kommentaar rakende die geleentheid moet bekom. “Sulke insette word vir ’n finale besluit oorweeg en die prosedure is gevolg.” Die Gazette wou weet of enige klagtes van inwoners ontvang is oor Vortex-partytjies in Theewaterskloof die afgelope 12 maande en Cronjé het gesê daar is wel klagtes ontvang en elkeen is oorweeg en hanteer.

Party was disturbance of the peace With reference to the front page article in the Gazette of 2015-04-14 it would be remiss of me were I not to comment on some of the statements quoted as coming from Susannah van Straaten. Firstly Susannah is quoted as saying that the main stage music started at 14:00 Saturday and ended 16:00 Monday, however the vibration started on Friday evening. On this web page - http://www.intothevortex.co.za/ it was advertised as the gates are open for camping and a warm-up party on Friday from 12:00. She is then quoted as saying that they got consent from the majority of their neighbours. I attended a meeting of some local farmers on 16 April and having been shown a map of farms in the immediate area marked with who was consulted and who not, it would seem that her statement is not accurate. Thirdly she says “we can safely assume that at least R250 000 was
spent in Caledon over the Easter weekend”. This is a complete thumb suck in my opinion. Further on she is quoted as saying that “we live in a multi-denominational society where freedom of worship is a constitutional right”. The abhorrence so many of us feel towards this type of event has got very little to do with any of the major religions. It has to do with disturbance of the peace...uit en uit rusverstoring. In our South African tradition it is the accepted thing over long weekends to “get away from it all” and visit family and friends, especially those in the quiet platteland. Many guests on a farm will have to pitch in and help the farmer with chores as their staff also chill out then. Nights around the fire are impossible with such a noise. She goes on to say how strict Vortex is in enforcing only over 18’s gaining admission, this might be company policy but in reality it is
nonsense as children as young as 11 were observed at the “party”. Van Straaten said that Vortex has a zero-tolerance policy towards drugs and provides a drug counselling and info stall at the party...hello, why do so if drugs are not a problem. As a matter of interest, I’ve been told that the words “parallel universe” used in the advert stands for “come and get the candy people”. In closing I feel that Mrs Van Straaten is being somewhat economical with the truth of the whole picture and her attitude is selfserving.
IAIN BUCHHOLZ, Tesselaarsdal
Response from Susannah van Straaten: If Iain Buchholz or any other person continues to levy the criminal accusation of disturbance of the peace without any legal evidence presented, then we shall regrettably have to take legal recourse ourselves.
As 55-year old I felt welcome and revived at Vortex I am 55 years old and currently live in Napier. I attended the Vortex Easter, which I thoroughly enjoyed. It was great fun being with a group of great diversity from young to quite a number of party goers who were much older that I am. It was especially heartening to feel very welcomed by all, and perhaps even more so because of being part of the “older” segment of the gathering – it really felt like everybody was a close friend and shared jokes, stories and many hugs with people who I’d never met before, but definitely hope to meet again at next year’s party. One of my mottos is that life may not be the party you expected, but while we’re here we might as well dance – and for this reason I really look forward to being able to dance with energetic abandon and forget about all my worries and frustrations and just let go, while having a
great work out. I also felt that all my belongings were quite safe wherever I left them when dancing, which is something I don’t normally feel in most public venues. It was great to have this event outdoors as it enables many more people to attend and has the added advantage of not being cramped on a dance floor in a possibly smoky environment. I know there may be some people who view these events negatively, and I’m not quite sure why – if its the type of music that bothers them then maybe its because they prefer classical music – but this genre is the music of the youth. If they think there is anything sinister about it then they obviously have never been to one or cannot fathom how so many people can be so happy, maybe they resent people being happy for no apparent reason. If they think that there are lots of
drugs involved – well I saw no evidence of that and was never approached by anyone trying to sell or offer me any illicit items. There was also no nudity as was part of the Flower Power era that the older generation might have experienced or think that this is in any way similar. I do hope this helps you get a clearer picture of the great fun that was had by all who attended and I for one felt re-energised and it restored my belief that our human nature is not in as bad a shape as one may experience in the “world out there” and that if civil society were to collapse I hope to be able to live in a community made up of the people that attended the Vortex Easter party. Long may it continue. And thanks very much for an excellent party to all who made it possible Best regards – and a Vortex proper hug.

Memories of days gone by Allow me, dear reader, to share a few more memories with you about my grandfather Du Toit, the one bamboozled by Rhodes and Co, and some of his offspring, because it sheds light on the vagaries of us Europeans here in Southern Africa. Re grandpa: after selling his farm Dutoitspan he moved to the Western Free State, where he bought a smallholding in a place called Petrusburg, by then being dragged into the 19th century by the new railroad to the Rand through it. It also achieved modest fame by being the birthplace of one Andries Borstlap, aka actor André Huguenet (later humourously reinvented by Herman Charles Bosman as Jacques le Français). Grandpa had by then married a Voortrekker girl, tough and resourceful, mother and grandmother to numerous similar daughters and granddaughters. Grandpa made ends meet by digging a well and building a dam on his plot to grow fruit and vegetables. These he carted to the Kimberley Goldfields, along with biltong, dried fruit, firewood and – odd to modern ears – dagga. This herb was not illegal in those days. The locals used it wisely with no damage to themselves or anyone
else. Workers on the gold mines bought the dagga at a penny a “stop” to help ease the unrelenting, deadly task of digging down a pit all day long. The proceeds from this trade went to my eldest uncle, who went on to become a noted linguist, author, translator, poet and lexicographer. After he married my Ouma, Oupa once took her to meet his folks at Alexanderskloof. They travelled in a two-horse “kapkar” for their journey there and back to the Free State, which lasted two years. The interesting and telling thing about this uncle of mine was that although he could speak passable Dutch, German, Latin and Greek and could read French and half-adozen Germanic/Gothic languages, he did not learn more than a word or two of Sesotho or Setswana. By contrast, my father’s forebears, who had started moving to the Eastern Free State from the late eighteenth century, all spoke Sesotho before they spoke Afrikaans or English, a fact which had a profoundly liberalising effect on their
political views. What does all this have to do with Akkedisberg? Nothing much, except that most of the above would not have happened and none of it written down, had Oupa Du Toit stayed on Alexanderskloof. So, if my parents had not been born where and when they were and had not married and I had consequently not been born, how could I ever have speculated about any of this? Surely the Universe only exists because I experience it, although I have grown to believe that it may exist for other people as well. Peace and prosperity! fouriejh@mweb.co.za

Change equals opportunity, says author
ORA LAUBSCHER
The Cape Agulhas Business Chamber’s AGM was held in Bredasdorp on Tuesday evening 14 April in the Bredasdorp Primary School hall. Theo Vorster, a top business executive and author who is well-known for his interviews with top South African businessmen and entre-
preneurs, was guest speaker. He urged all local business people to embrace “change and uncertainty” and to always be on the lookout for opportunities to grow in these uncertain times. “Change equals opportunity” he said, reminding them to at all times also plan ahead, positioning themselves in such a way that they are able to grab the opportunity for growth when it presents itself as there is no such thing as

New cell opened at Karwyderskraal
After three years of collective planning between Overberg District Municipality and Overstrand Municipality a third cell was successfully constructed at the Karwyderskraal Landfill Site and officially opened on Thursday 3 April. “The cell was designed and constructed according to the minimum requirements,” said David Beretti, municipal manager of Overberg District Municipality. Beretti said this cell will be utilised for the final disposal of household waste servicing both Overstrand and Theewaterskloof and will have a life span of approximately five years. “It is the result of good cooperative governance between the municipali- Reinard Geldenhuys, acting director community services, ties to ensure effective service deliv- David Beretti and Francois Kotze, environmental manageery.” ment, attended the opening. .

Die uniekheid van plaaslike nuus bly ’n hoeksteen in die bestaande en toekomstige mediamengsel en met die voortdurende ontwikkeling van digitale media moet ons as plaaslike media-uitgewers ons oë op die toekoms hou. “Ons glo die Netwerk24-platform wat Theewaterskloof Gazette voortaan gaan insluit, sal aan ons lesers ’n wêreldklas-platform bied tesame met ons wêreldklas vars plaaslike nuus.”

Bloemenhof presteer Bloemenhof Primêr is op 5 Maart tydens ’n geselligheid deur die Overberg Onderwysdistrik vereer in twee kategorieë vir uitstaande prestasie in Geletterdheid en Gesyferdheid vir gr. 3 en gr. 6. Die skool het toekennings ontvang vir algehele uitnemendheid in Taal en Wiskunde in gr. 3 en gr. 6 en uitnemendheid in akademiese prestasie in Taal, ook vir gr. 3 en gr. 6.
Voor sit Danie Maloy, prinsipaal en Maria Sass, opvoeder. Agter staan Hanneri Streicher, opvoeder, Marsha Minnaar, opvoeder en Carin Hoki, skoolbeheerliggaamvoorsitter. Op 14 April was dit weer tyd vir Hoërskool Bredasdorp se jaarlikse kermis. Bredasdorpers se kreatiwiteit het geen perke geken nie en vanjaar kon elke graad hulle uitleef volgens ’n spesifieke self-gekose kleur. Die gr. 11’s is as wenners van die optog aangewys en het op oorspronklike wyse vir Suideroord, tehuis vir bejaardes, betrek. Die gr. 8’s was in die tweede plek en die gr. 12’s derde. Die collage bied ’n oorsig van die onderskeie grade.

Bredasdorp seëvier in Paarl Elite-netbalkliniek
Hoërskool Bredasdorp se o. 19A-netbalspan glimlag breed nadat hulle die afgelope Paasvakansie talle top-netbalskole op die neus laat kyk het tydens die jaarlikse Paarl Elitenetbalkliniek. Gedurende die finale ronde bewys hulle dat plattelandse skole beslis nie die knie hoef te buig vir stedelike skole nie en hul klop Bloemhof Meisieskool 11-10. Met die
aanloop tot die finale ronde het hul ook vir Augsburg, Kirkwood, Vryburg, Monument Park en Langenhoven Gimnasium oortuigend gewen. Na afloop van die toernooi is drie van Hoerskool Bredasdorp se spelers gekies vir die Elite Top 10-span wat aangewys is. Hulle is Sanri Bezuidenhout, Tina Human en Debbie Coetzee.
Hoërskool Bredasdorp se ouers, leerders en onderwysers is baie opgewonde oor die vooruitsig om eersdaags hul nuwe skoolsaal in te wy. Die bouproses, wat in 2014 ’n aanvang geneem het, is tans in die finale fase. Die saal, wat ook ’n galery insluit, beloof om ’n groot verrassing vir die leerders te wees.
