Hotel opening put on hold DALEEN FOUCHÉ
Construction on the much anticipated multi-million rand Krystal Beach Hotel has ground to a halt. The hotel, formerly known as Villa Via, was scheduled to open this month. But scaffolding for painters treating the facade of the building bears silent witness that there is still work to be done. Work at the site has been at a standstill for more than two weeks. Gordon’s Bay business and tourism communities are eagerly anticipating the opening of the hotel. DistrictMail previously reported the seaside village expects visitor numbers to substantially increase once the hotel opens for business. Salvatore Puglia, a representative of the Cameroonian hotel owner in South Africa, this week assured DistrictMail construction on the Krystal Beach Hotel at Harbour Island will continue shortly. He says construction on the hotel was halted as a result of negotiations between the owner and contractors on the cost of certain renovations and extensions which were not part of the original plan. “When purchasing and renovating a home, there will always be some additional work that was not originally factored in. This has also been the case with the hotel,” Puglia says. He is confident negotiations will conclude by the end of the week, after which construction work will continue. “We expect the hotel to be completed by 1 June.” Renovations on the 121-room ho-
tel include an exterior and interior facelift, conference facilities and two restaurants – one for fine dining and one with a Cape Malay theme. Puglia says it is intended to be a four-star hotel which could easily be boosted to a five-star hotel. It will be the first in an international group of hotels, he adds. He says the owner, Samuel Foyou, is also looking at the possibility of purchasing more property and taking on more projects in Gordon’s Bay, as he sees the town as a “great investment opportunity”. Foyou, who made his fortune in trade in Angola and Congo, has been involved in the manufacturing of plastic bags, boxes and matches, as well as producing spirits for large brands in the alcoholic-beverage industry. He also recently became involved in the cosmetics industry. Gordon’s Bay Business Forum chairperson Danie Miller welcomed the news that renovations on the hotel will continue, adding that there had been skepticism about the original opening date. “We realised the original opening date was perhaps a bit optimistic,” he says. Foyou has bought all but six of the units in the hotel which was originally a sectional title scheme. Puglia says the six owners did not wish to sell their units and a litigation process on appropriate levies is currently underway. Once the hotel has been completed, Puglia explains, an arbitration process will follow to determine which services constitute a luxury and which are needed for maintenance to determine an appropriate levy for the remaining owners.

GB teen robbed at knifepoint DALEEN FOUCHÉ A R10 000 cash reward is being offered for anyone with information which could bring a knife-wielding assailant to book. About midnight on Thursday 9 April, 18year-old Andrew Kofahl was leaving Bertie’s to return to his home at Harbour Island after an evening with friends. Andrew did a last check for friends around the corner, next to the sailing club, when he was approached by a young man wearing a hoodie. The suspect, allegedly carrying a big kitchen knife, demanded his cellphone and wallet. Andrew says he handed over the two items, but the assailant also demanded his car keys. “I managed to persuade him that my car keys would do him no good, as my car was still parked in the Harbour Island security complex,” he explains. The assailant then instructed Andrew to
Die lang arm van die gereg het Maandag ’n jong man, wat versuim het om sy ete-rekening by ’n Gordonsbaai franchise restaurant te betaal, ingehaal. Volgens Gordonsbaai-polisie woordvoerder konstabel Vicky Kriel het twee mans omstreeks 11:15 die eetplek besoek. Die 20-jarige lekkerbek en ’n vriend het die winskoop van die dag – twee hamburgers vir die prys van een – en ’n klein porsie skyfies, bestel. Kriel sê ná die mans geëet het, het die 20-jarige se vriend die restaurant verlaat. Kort daarna het ook hy verby die ontvangstoonbank geloop en die restaurant in Kusweg verlaat sonder om te betaal. Kriel sê personeel het die man agterna gesit. “Ons het die bohaai vanuit die polisiestasie gehoor en agterna gehardloop,” sê Kriel. Die man is kort daarna in Sir Lowryweg vasgetrek. Hy is Dinsdag op ’n klag van diefstal onder valse voorwendsels in die Strand-landdroshof skuldig bevind en ’n R500-boete of 10 dae gevangenisstraf opgelê.

Gemengde gevoelens oor vonnis DELIAH BRINKHUIS
Macassarinwoner Zelbia Rossi het op 30 Maart 2011 in ’n motorongeluk gesterf.
THE ULTIMATE UPGRADE
Die familie van Zelbia Rossi is teleurgesteld in die vonnis wat verlede Vrydag aan Dylan Petersen (28) opgelê is. Heelwat familie en vriende van sowel Petersen en Zelbia het hofverrigtinge in die Somerset-Wes landdroshof bygewoon. Die saak spruit uit die dood van Zelbia (20), ’n tweede-jaar onderwysstudent, in ’n motorongeluk in Macassar op 30 Maart 2011. Die motor waarin Petersen en Rossi gery het, het omstreeks 23:45 die aand teen ’n grensmuur gebots en op sy sy te lande gekom. Zelbia is halfpad uit die kar geslinger en is op die toneel dood

verklaar. Bernadette Rossi, Zelbia se ma, het gesê dat sy ’n swaarder vonnis verwag het, maar dat sy bly is dat die saak na vier jaar afgehandel is. Sy het almal, veral Zelbia se vriende, bedank vir hul volgehoue ondersteuning. Petersen se ouers het ná die hofverrigtinge mekaar buite die hof omhels en wou nie kommentaar oor die uitslag lewer nie. Die Macassar-inwoner is drie jaar gevangenisstraf opgelê, opgeskort vir vyf jaar en ook tot 18 maande korrektiewe straf gevonnis. Die voorwaardes van Petersen se vonnisoplegging sluit onder meer in dat hy vir die tydperk van 18 maande onder huisarres sal wees, maandeliks 16 ure gemeenskapsdiens moet verrig, by ’n rehabilitasieprogram sal aansluit waarvan hy self die onkoste sal dek, nie alkohol of dwelms mag gebruik nie en ook nie persele waar alkohol verkoop word sal besoek nie. Alkohol- en dwelmtoetse kan enige tyd in dié tydperk op hom uitgevoer word. Gereelde korrektiewe verslae kan deur die hof aangevra word. Sou Petersen die voorwaardes van sy korrektiewe toesig verbreek, mag alternatiewe straf aangevra word. Sy tydperk van gemeenskapsdiens kan ook aangepas word, maar nie met minder as nege maande nie.

RAKKE WORD VERVANG: LÊERS IN BOKSE
Pasiënte wag terwyl lêers verdwyn DALEEN FOUCHÉ Pasiënte van die Helderberg Hospitaal het Vrydag vir ure by die noodgevalle-eenheid gewag om deur ’n dokter gespreek te word.
Die lêers van buitepasiënte by Helderberg Hospitaal staan oop en bloot terwyl die rakke vervang word.
‘‘
Die publiek is nie veronderstel om toegang tot die lêers te hê nie. Die Wes Kaap se gesondheidsdepartement probeer om pasiëntinligting ten alle tye vertroulik te hou.”
Die oorsaak vir die lang wag volgens sommige pasiënte is die “chaos” in die kamer waar die buite-pasiënte se lêers gehou word. Volgens een pasiënt is die hospitaal besig om die rakke in die kamer te vervang, met die gevolg dat lêers in bokse gepak is. Dit maak dit moeilik vir hospitaalpersoneel om spesifieke lêers te vind. Met die DistriksPos se aankoms by die hospitaal teen 14:00 Vrydag het een man met ’n liesbreuk reeds sedert die vorige dag van 17:00 gewag om ’n dokter te spreek. Die man, wat verkies om anoniem te bly, het weer Vrydag van 06:00 tevergeefs gewag vir diens. ’n Nuwe lêer is laatmiddag vir hom oopgemaak toe sy bestaande lêer ná ’n tweede soektog nie opgespoor kon word nie, maar teen dié tyd was dit te laat om ’n dokter te spreek en is hy gevra om weer die volgende dag terug te kom. “Ek was in baie pyn en kon glad nie sit nie.” Die kamer waar die buitepasiënte se lêers gehou word, het Vrydag wawyd oop gestaan, met nie ’n mens in sig om oor die hoogs vertroulike inligting te waak nie. Talle lêers was in bokse gestapel. Een pasiënt het aan DistriksPos vertel sy het sommer self haar lêer gaan soek toe die gewag te lank neem. Emerantia Cupido, woordvoerder vir die departement van gesondheid,

het bevestig die rakke in die kamer word vervang omdat dit afgeleef is. Sy verduidelik dat om rekening te hou met die meer as 14 000 pasiënte wat maandeliks die hospitaal besoek ’n “massiewe taak” is. “Die kliniek se lêerstelsel is nie staties nie omdat personeel die lêers daaglikse gebruik. Daarom word lêers van tyd tot tyd as gevolg van menslike foute misplaas. Meeste van die lêers is wel in die stelsel waar hulle moet wees.” In reaksie op die maklike toegang tot die buitepasiënte se lêers verduidelik Cupido dat lêers toegesluit word, behalwe wanneer die klerke besig is om lêers te bêre. “Die publiek is nie veronderstel om toegang tot die lêers te hê nie. Die WesKaap se gesondheidsdepartement probeer om pasiëntinligting ten alle tye vertroulik te hou.” Die DistriksPos het al telkemale berig oor swak diens en lang wagtye by Helderberg Hospitaal. Cupido sê die hospitaal het onlangs en veral in die afgelope jaar ’n drastiese toename in pasiënte beleef. Dit plaas veral druk op die noodgevalle-eenheid. Om die uitdagings aan te spreek het die Wes-Kaapse gesondheidsdepartement onlangs die noodgevalle-eenheid “herontwerp” om die vloerruimte optimaal te gebruik. Voorts word ’n 14-bed saal beplan wat tussen die noodgevalle-eenheid en die administrasiekantoor gebou sal word voor Desember vanjaar. Die noodgevalle-eenheid en oornagsaal sal ook groter wees en volgens Cupido sal die bouwerk in Julie 2016 begin.

VUUR SAAI VERWOESTING: Verlede naweek het nog ’n gesin al hul besittings in ’n verwoes tende brand verloor toe hul huis in Lourensia Park afgebrand het. Die vier volwassenes en vier kinders moes tydelike slaapplek by hul buurvrou vra. Een van die inwoners, Moira Ficks (foto), sê: “Binne ’n halfuur is al ons besitting deur die vuur verorber.” ’n Woordvoerder van die Stad Kaap stad se brandweerdienste het gesê die brand is vermoedelik deur kinders wat met vuurhoutjies gespeel het gestig. Mense wat aan hierdie gesin ’n skenking wil maak kan Moira by 078 267 3619 skakel. FOTO: TAMSYN JANTJIES
New digs for victim support centre Strand Police Station’s Victim Support Centre will re-open on Saturday. The centre is run from a wendy house at the station and serves clients from as far as Grabouw and Eerste River. It is run by trained volunteer counsellors – managed by a warrant Officer in charge of Community Policing – and manned around the clock on weekdays and weekends. The volunteers provide a service to victims of violence, women and child abuse, rape victims, minors with behavioural problems, drug-related issues and also counselling for pupils with attendance be-
haviour, drug, disciplinary and authority issues, referred to the centre by schools. The need to build an extra structure with more than one counselling room, to provide privacy during counselling sessions and to deal with more than one client at a time, was identified. Strand Rotary Club, which has been supporting community projects in the Helderberg for more than 60 years, supports the centre by supplying care packages to victims. The addition of an extra room to the centre has been made possible thanks to the support from Claremont Rotary Club.
No end to N2 ‘hell run’ attacks DELIAH BRINKHUIS
Authorities have issued yet another alert to motorists using the notorious N2 “hell run”. This follows the assault and robbery of a woman on the stretch of highway between Somerset West and Cape Town on Sunday evening. Mayoral Committee member for Safety and Security JP Smith says the suspects took advantage of misty conditions, assaulting and robbing the woman of her handbag and cellphone. “I appeal to motorists to please be extra careful when driving [on the N2] at night,” he implores. Two traffic officers, on their way home just before midnight, were driving towards Somerset West when they noticed a Toyota Tazz with flickering hazard lights close to the R300 off-ramp. They noticed three men were running to-

wards the car. As the officers approached, they heard screams. The three suspects, however, fled when they noticed the officers. The woman told the officers she was assaulted and robbed after she was forced to stop and change a flat tyre. The officers changed the tyre and the woman left the scene, declining any medical assistance. Smith says three more cars with flat tyres were found further along the road. The officers assisted the motorists and removed concrete blocks from the road, which they suspect had been placed there by the attackers. Since January, the stretch of road has become increasingly dangerous, as several motorists have been attacked. DistrictMail has extensively reported on incidents where objects were placed in the road to force motorists to stop. They were then robbed of their personal items. Several smash and grab incidents have also occurred. On 7 January Macassar resident Julius Jantjies (28,) was hit in the face by a concrete
block that was hurled through the windscreen of the car he was driving. The attack happened at 13:00 just before the R300 turn-off. Jantjies remained in an induced coma in Vincent Pallotti Hospital for a week. He was discharged from hospital on Friday 27 March. The attack has left him without sight in his right eye. International rugby referee Shaun Veldsman was stabbed on the N2/Baden Powell offramp on 21 February. He was on his way home after officiating in a SuperRugby match at Newlands, when his vehicle’s driver side window was smashed with a brick. Veldsman managed to escape through the passenger door as his attacker climbed in the driver’s seat while lunging at him with a sharp object, stabbing him in the back. “It is evident that criminals will continue targeting motorists for as long as they think they can get away with it. Several meetings have been held about safety on the N2,” Smith concludes.

Min water laat visse na hul asem snak DALEEN FOUCHÉ
Die visse in die dammetjie by Dampark in Strand is besig om te vrek. Verskeie besorgde inwoners het onlangs hul kommer uitgespreek oor die lae watervlak van die dam oorkant Hoërskool Strand. Inwoners het ook al ’n paar dooie visse by die dam opgemerk. DistriksPos het voorheen berig die dam se toevoer vanuit die Lourensrivier is beskadig tydens die November 2013-vloede wat veroorsaak het dat die dam se watervlak drasties gedaal het. Daar is reeds tóé kommer uitgespreek oor die visse wat moontlik kan vrek indien die watervlak verder sou daal. Die probleem het nou weer begin kop uitsteek. Belinda Walker, burgemeesterskomitee-
lid vir gemeenskapsdienste en spesiale projekte, sê die Stad Kaapstad is bewus van die probleem en is tans besig om dit aan te spreek. Walker sê die pyplyn wat die water van die Lourensrivier tot by die dam voer, is gedurende die 2013-vloede in Somerset-Wes beskadig. Sy sê voorts die departement van vervoer se instandhoudingsafdeling herstel tans die toevoerpyp as deel van hul vloedverligtingswerk. Hierdie pyp sal weer water vanuit die Lourensrivier na die dam vervoer. Volgens Walker is die rivier egter tans baie droog en sal dit eers wanneer die reënseisoen begin, die dam kan voed. “Intussen is die Stad besig om die aanvullende water van ander bronne in die dam in te pomp.” ) In ’n afsonderlike geval het ’n Strand-in-
woner Sondag op verskeie dooie visse in die Lourensrivier afgekom. Siyabulela Mamkeli, burgemeesterskomiteelid vir gesondheid, sê sy departement is nie bewus van die dooie visse in die Lourensrivier nie. “Amptenare sal die situasie ondersoek en dit aanspreek indien dit nodig is.” Mamkeli sê dit is die moeite werd om te noem dat nie alle dooie visse sterf as gevolg van besoedeling nie. Natuurlike verskynsels soos siekte en lae suurstofvlakke kan ook verantwoordelik wees vir die visvrekte, verduidelik hy. “Slegs vis wat onlangs dood is kan gebruik word vir ontleding omdat spesialis-laboratoriums en -veeartse geraadpleeg moet word.”
Suspects at large after cigarette heist on N2 A British American Tobacco (BAT) delivery van was robbed of cigarettes worth R300 000 near Macassar on the N2 on Tuesday. Macassar police spokesperson Sergeant Chrisy Lewaks says the armed robbery occurred when the van stopped at the Shell Garage at 08:45. Two armed men allegedly forced

Three netted after shootings in Strand A 29-year-old man was arrested last Friday for illegally firing a gun in Petunia Street, Broadlands Park at 22:45. Police and the neighbourhood watch also found a 9mm firearm with an empty magazine on an open field in 12th Street close to where the man was arrested.

for the illegal possession of a firearm and the illegal discharge thereof. In another shooting incident in Solly Arendse Street the following day, a 26-year-old man sustained several gunshot wounds, when three men opened fire on him. He was shot in the left leg and torso. Two men, aged 19 and 23, were arrested for attempted murder.

HoërskoolStranddroomgrootvirskoolengemeenskap Die Hoërskool Strand se HS2020-fonds bied ’n welkome hupstoot aan top laerskool-presteerders. Die onlangs gestigde fonds het ten doel om talentvolle graad 7-leerders uit die gemeenskap te werf en dié leerders elke moontlike geleentheid te bied om hul volle potensiaal te bereik.
HS2020 FONDS
Die fonds sal aangewend word vir: • Die werwing van talentvolle en gebalanseerde laerskoolleerders uit die gemeenskap; • Die werwing van laerskoolleerders wat nie voorheen Hoërskool Strand as skool van eerste keuse oorweeg het nie; Die Hoërskool Strand se leuse, ‘Volhard en Oorwin’, is in die skool se meer as 50-jaar-bestaan gestand gedoen met top akademiese-, sowel as sport- en kultuurprestasies wat gelewer is. Die HS2020-fonds is onlangs gestig om dié tradisie van uitnemendheid voort te sit. Die aansoeke van laerskoolleerders vir merietebeurse word geëvalueer om te verseker dat hulle aan die bepaalde kriteria voldoen. Gemeenskapsbetrokkenheid sowel dié van plaaslike besighede is belangrik vir die volhoubaarheid van die projek en fonds. Finansiële bydraes tot die fonds verseker dat waarde tot die skool, en ook indirek tot die gemeenskap, toegevoeg word. Indien u graag betrokke by die HS2020-fonds wil raak, skakel die skool by (021) 853 1056 of stuur ’n e-pos aan bemarker@hsstrand.co.za.
Mnr. Andries de Jager van De Jagers Uitrusters kry die bal aan die rol deur die eerste donasie vir die HS2020 Fonds aan die skoolhoof te oorhandig.

MERCIA SABBAT wil graag weet waarom die skool se naam nou skielik uit die bloute verander moet word en of daar werklik enigsins sprake daarvan is. Sy meen ’n moontlike naamsverandering sal net ’n vermorsing van geld vir baie mense wees.
CHEMÉ VAN ZYL, a Grade 12 pupil at the school, is of the opinion that the school’s identity will be lost should a name change take place, and that the rebranding of the build ings and uniforms is going to cost everyone unneces sary money.
Die Wes-Kaapse minister van onderwys, Debbie Schäfer, het in haar begrotingstoespraak verlede maand genoem skole met name van mense uit die apartheidsera, of dié met name van ’n rasseklassifikasie van daardie tydperk, kan by die WKOD aansoek doen om ’n naamsverandering. Hoërskool Hottentots-Holland sal hierdie moontlikheid op ’n beheerliggaamvergadering bespreek.
BRANDON SCHUTTLER is a Grade 8 pupil at Hot tentotsHolland High School and totally disa grees with the proposed name change for the school. “There are so many things from the apartheid era that still play a part in the present, but that doesn’t mean the names of those things are going to be changed. This situation is the same as the statue craze – it just doesn’t make sense to change names or remove things.”
PETRO DE BRUYN was ’n leerder aan Hoërskool Hot tentotsHolland en voel dis onaanvaarbaar om nou ná al die jare die naam van die skool te verander. Sy sê die skool en die berg reeks deel die naam. “Dit gaan nie sin maak as die owerheid besluit om die skool se naam te verander nie. As hulle dit wel gaan doen, moet hulle ook die bergreeks se naam veran der. Dit sal waansin wees om veranderinge te maak.” FOTO’S: TAMSYN JANTJIES

MARSHALL GOEDEMAN is van mening dat die skool se naam Hoërskool Hot tentotsHolland moet bly. Hy glo die identiteit van die skool en sy jare lange diens aan die gemeenskap sal daaronder ly as ’n naamsverandering gemaak word.
MELISSA VISSER believes the school’s name should not change as it is a well known school. She would also like to know what new name could possibly be given to this school which has been a part of the community for 85 years.
Find DistrictMail on Netwerk24 A new era awaits DistrictMail’s website. Effective from Friday 1 May, the website will form part of Netwerk24. Launched last August, Netwerk24 is the leading paid platform for Media24’s Afrikaans daily and Sunday newspapers. The site quickly established itself as a market leader and will now also grow with the inclusion of content from the group’s Afrikaans local newspapers across the country. Readers will still find DistrictMail’s content – including the English news – in one place when they enter www.districtmail.com. This address will take them to a section of Netwerk24 where DistrictMail content will be neatly packaged and published. The content will be behind a paywall for which readers will need a Netwerk24 subscription. Readers can still follow our popular Facebook page to keep abreast of news in the area during the course of the week. “Providing local or area-specific news and information plays a vital role in today’s changing media landscape,” says Esmé Smith, general manager of Boland Media, which publishes DistrictMail. “The content of our local publications serves as a local watchdog in areas where national news providers or services cannot deliver the same intensity of information to readers. The uniqueness of local news remains a cornerstone in the existing and future media mix. With the ongoing development of digital media, we in local media publishing need to train our focus on the future. “We believe Netwerk24, which will include DistrictMail in the future, will provide our readers with a worldclass platform coupled with our world-class, fresh local news.”

Farewell to a ‘devoted’ family man Well-known Somerset West resident and businessman, Leon “Bokkie” Gordon passed away after a short illness on Wednesday 8 April. Leon (86) was born to parents David and Amelia Gordon, of Gordon Road, in Somerset West on 21 December 1928. He lived in the area his whole life. He attended Trafalgar High School in Cape Town and qualified as a teacher at the Zonnebloem Teachers Training College. His teaching career spanned 20 years, with posts at Vergelegen, St Georges and Rusthof primary schools. He married Somerset West resident Rose Gordon in 1956 and they had four children.

Mail A chance to have your voice heard When Somerset Mall was built in the early 1990s, on land sold by AECI, it started the decline of Somerset West’s Central Business District (CBD). A number of shops operating in the CBD relocated and a host of new businesses opened in the mall. This all led to the rapid change of the town’s CBD. The continued expansion of the mall over the years and the string of robberies which hit the Somerset West CBD last year resulted in even more empty shops now seen in the area. However, all is not doom and gloom as the Somerset West CBD Building Owners’ Forum is calling on residents to share their ideas on the future development of the CBD. The formal business sector is looking for ways to develop the informal sector to address the needs of the consumers. At the same time they need to complement the present formal businesses in the town. To help achieve unity between these two sectors, the forum wants residents’ opinions, ideas and visions on what they would like to see as part of the town’s informal sector development. Therefore, the face of the Somerset West CBD over the next few years will depend on just how proactive Somerset West residents will be with their suggestions.
Lafhartige barbare Johan Badenhorst, [van die televisieprogram] Voetspore, en sy span het al die hele Afrika deurkruis en is nog nooit met klippe, bakstene of sementblokke gegooi nie. Ry ’n mens van die Strand af Stellenbosch toe, of met die N2 stad toe, word jy met dié voorwerpe gegooi. Dit is barbare wat dié lafhartige dade pleeg en blykbaar skuil al dié barbare in SuidAfrika. Hulle is moordenaars wat lank in die tronk gebêre moet word, maar eers ’n ordentlike pak slae moet kry!

Rhodes Statue should be re-erected in Somerset West The statue of the globally famous and renowned Cecil Rhodes, whose philanthropic endowment has funded hundreds of Rhodes Scholars, was removed from the campus of the University of Cape Town, at the behest of a group of pre-adult students, to be mothballed or re-erected in some other place. The De Beers Company, largely owned by Rhodes, pioneered the manufacture of mining explosives and other products at the Somerset
West factory before the end of the 19th century. For the next 100 years or more De Beers employed, housed and sustained thousands of residents of the nearby towns in diverse fields of endeavour, contributing enormously to the development and prosperity of the area. It is suggested that our Town Council asks for the Rhodes statue so that this tribute to a man of incredible talent and ability, be reerected on the island at the inter-
section of Main and Church streets facing due north, the direction in which Cecil John Rhodes always cast his vision. Those young people responsible for Rhodes ignominy, and others of a political bent, should ponder the indignity to Rhodes might similarly be visited upon them by their grandchildren. Opinions change – history does not.

Hoe die naam Hottentots-Holland oorleef en geval het ’n Duisend dankies aan die mense dat julle die moed gehad het om nie net jul foto’s te laat plaas nie, maar jul eerlike menings te lug oor Helderberg-hospitaal (“Menings oor staatshospitale en klinieke”, Helderberg Gazette, 7 April). Dit is ’n wake-up call vir die bestuur van die hospitaal. Debbie Schäfer, jy het seker beter dinge wat jou aandag verg, as om te krap waar dit nie jeuk nie (“HHH se naam moet dalk verander word”, Distrikspos, 9 April). Jare gelede het mnr. Roux geweier om die naam van die skool te verander. Nou wonder ’n mens, het die huidige bestuur die moed om weereens vas te staan en die Hoërskool Hottentots-Holland uit te los? As dr. Cato van Wyk jare gelede
nog die mediese superintendent van Helderberg-hospitaal was, sou die naam nooit verander gewees het nie. Sy was geensins gewild toe sy my belowe het dat die teaters opgegradeer sal word voordat daar ’n steen gelê word by ’n privaat hospitaal – nou MediClinic Vergelegen. En so was dit ook. Die manne moes maar afkoel, want wat sy besluit het, is gedoen. Selfs al was ek 35 jaar deel van die personeel – ons was soos een groot familie – was ras geensins ter sprake nie. Die By-artikel van 11 April oor die maanlanding bring mooi herinneringe terug. Een van my pasiënte was in kraam; die uitsending is gevolg met ’n klein radio toegedraai in ’n steriele doek.

Old kennel needed for dogs This is an informal settlement in the Gordon’s Bay Industrial Area where four dogs live. Unfortunately their owners have passed away and I have been feeding them for many years. Sadly these poor dogs do no longer have any shelter as a strong south-easter has destroyed the makeshift hokkie they previously had.
With the approaching winter rains on its way, I would be very grateful if anyone could let me have an old kennel, which could be used to house these dogs. Thank you.

Oukersaande het die personeel in volle uniform met kersies deur die sale geloop en Kersliedere vir die pasiënte gesing. Die kinders is baie bederf. ’n Driejarige seuntjie, Michael, kon soggens nie wag dat ek van diens moes gaan nie sodat ons by ’n vriendin, Mary Burger, kon gaan ontbyt eet. Natuurlik mooi aangetrek vir die geleentheid, het ons dan by haar gaan kuier. Ons oues van dae het hard gewerk en het mooi herinneringe van die destydse Hottentots-Holland Hospitaal. Ons het nie iets geken soos “it’s not my job” nie.

There are many ways of raising funds in a decent way, without ex posing the female body. ) To the driver of an unregistered black Jaguar in Caledon Street: to do your vehicle justice, take it to an accredited racetrack.

In general, I am fedup with Somerset West motorists’ awful behaviour. ) Thank you to Cape Laminate for always going the extra mile to help and offer great service at value for money prices. ) Die taxi’s vervoer die gemeen skap. Is dit regtig ’n probleem? Waarom is daar nie toestemming vir taxibestuurders gegee om men se na Somerset Mall tevervoer nie? Waarom moet mense via Somer setWes ry en dan daar vir ’n an der taxi wag? Ek bly reeds 24 jaar in die gebied en dit is hoe dit vir jare gedoen is. En die bestuurders gee nie om of jy laat gaan wees nie. Dit is die eintlike probleem vir diegene van die Strand wat af hanklik is op publieke vervoer soos taxi’s. Janet

Sanral’s tolling secret is out ) The money must come from somewhere. How about our current taxes and the increase in the fuel levy? Where is that money going? I refuse to pay for these tolls and I am sure this is going to be just as disastrous as the other e-toll [sagas]. Toll the taxis and then let’s see how fast things [will] go badly. The taxis and commuters will very quickly take a stand. Rory Currin ) This must be a joke. What is going on in South Africa? I hate this. Zintle Pakade ) Thank you, City of Cape Town, for trying to put a stop to this. I don’t mind paying for a toll if it is for the new N2 highway to bypass Somerset West. The traffic going through Somerset West is getting worse and worse. But what is the point of a toll road between Somerset West and the R300? [It would be a] waste of money. Lisa-Marie Bodington ) Someone has to pay for Zuma’s new jet and the fire pool must be due for an upgrade soon. Dale Wilson ) The people must stand up against the corruption.

vinger wys, want nie een van hulle verstaan hoe om ’n verkeersirkel te gebruik nie. Haal eers die splinter uit jou eie oë. Dewalt van der Westhuizen ) Oral ry hulle nes hulle wil. Die probleem is dat baie verkeersbeamptes dit sien, maar niks daaromtrent doen nie. Daar word werkers op die N2 naby Somerset-Wes op- en afgelaai. Die verkeersbeamptes ry egter net daar verby. Is dit nie ontoelaatbaar nie? William Moses ) Kry die busse terug op die pad. Golden Arrow soek net ’n lys van name, sodat hulle verseker kan wees die bus gaan nie tyd mors op die Strand/Somerset-Wes roete nie. Ek het genoeg van taxi guards gehad. Ek gaan die komende week my lys aanstuur. Ek sê nie mense moet nie taxi’s gebruik nie. Ek sal dit ook gebruik as die nood druk, maar die busse moet weer op die pad kom. Davedine Langeveld ) Ons mense kla oor dit, maar wanneer dit saak maak om iets daaromtrent te doen, dan staan almal uit die water uit.. Freddie Roos ) Hulle ry sleg, onverskillig en sonder respek vir die mense wat kos op hul tafel sit. Ek dink dis tyd dat ons hulle leer oor dienslewering. Hulle moet nie net lisensie en PDP as vereiste hê nie, maar opleiding ook. Party bestuurders rook in die taxi’s. As ek inklim en die bestuurder vra hom op te hou rook en hy weier, dan klim ek uit. Dis ook tyd dat pendelaars ophou om die taxibestuurders te laat voel hulle is helde. Isabel Booysen ) Links van BP is a problem. Golden Arrow disciplines their drivers, when you note the bus number and report the violation. You always get feedback, too. Juanita Cox

Pedal to the metal for a cause Longer than the Cape Town Cycle Tour, kinder than the Epic and more fun than both – this is the Helderberg Hospice Cycling for Life. The race will be held at the Somerset House sports hall on Saturday 16 May from 06:00 to 18:00. The annual endurance cyclathon, which raises funds for Helderberg Hospice, is a bicycle ride like no other. For the sixth consecutive year, sponsored teams of cyclists will compete over 12 hours to clock up the most kilometres raced on a trainer bicycle in one day. This unique event symbolises the endurance with which every cancer sufferer faces his or her condition, as well as the sustaining care they receive from Helderberg Hospice. Many riders, across the categories, will ride in memory of loved ones while standing in solidarity with those currently undergoing treatment or receiving Hospice care. Teams of three, six or 12 riders will take up the challenge to transform energy into money, with each team undertaking to raise a minimum of R3 600 to ensure that the special care of Helderberg Hospice will be made available. This year’s event boasts an Extreme category for the third time in which teams or individuals will take on the challenge to ride for a relentless 24 hours. Bikes are placed on trainers with computerised speedometers and cyclists pedal their way through a gruelling day of stationary competitive kilometres. Hi-octane music, a big screen TV,
Vasti Geldenhuys (left) and Riaan Manser, fresh from completing the gruel ling Cape Epic, will be cycling in support of Helderberg Hospice at the this year’s Cycle for Life challenge at Somerset House. The couple will be joined by endurance standup paddler Chris Bertish. delicious food to power leg-pumping action and spot prizes will keep the energy and enthusiasm levels up. While the pace set from the very start of the day proves that Cycling for Life is just as demanding as any of the major cycle events, the huge increase in across-the-board participation since its inception in 2010 shows that cyclists are keen to be part of this remarkable race. Recent finishers of the gruelling
Cape Epic Riaan Manser and Vasti Geldenhuys will ride in support of Hospice and will be joined by endurance stand-up paddler Chris Bertish. My Property Broker is the event’s main sponsor. To be part of this amazing event, either entering a team or sponsoring the participants, contact Hospice’s Patricia McNaught Davis on 082 731 5736 or patricia@helderberghospice.org.za.

Call for ideas for SW CBD How do you envision the Somerset West Central Business District (CBD) in a few years? Magel Grové, chairperson of the Somerset West CBD Building Owners’ Forum, says the forum would like to gain residents’ ideas and feedback on the development of the CBD. The forum is currently in discussion with the City of Cape Town about the development of the area’s informal trading sector. The City intends making room for about 84 informal stalls in the CBD, from the post office to the City Hall. However, Grové says the formal business sector is opposing the high number of informal stalls, because occupation of buildings in the CBD is currently low. “There are several vacant shops to rent in the CBD,” she explains.
The formal business sector is looking for ways to develop the informal sector to address the needs of consumers in the area. It also needs to complement, rather than overlap the formal business sector. “We welcome the opinions and recommendations of Somerset West residents on how they would like to see the town’s informal sector developed in terms of position and products,” Grové adds. Furthermore, Grové says the business community is pleased the Helderberg Street People’s Centre was relocated to the Somerset West Night Shelter, to make way for the development of a transport hub for Somerset West. “I have seen the plans for the hub and it look very promising,” she concludes. Send your suggestions and visions for the CBD to somersetwestcbdbof@gmail.com.

Is history repeating itself for Buffet?
Bloomberg recently posted an article on the worst-performing billionaire for the year, which is none other than the second richest man in the world, Warren Buffett. Buffett has reportedly lost $3 billion since the start of the year, shrinking his net worth to just over $70 million. Shame! His wealth is measured by his shares in the company he founded and still runs today, Berkshire Hathaway. It is a conglomerate of many underlying diverse businesses. The reason this article drew my attention is because during the technology bubble at the turn of the millennium, Berkshire Hathaway similarly under-performed the market. Market commentators claimed Buffet was too old to understand the new age economy and had lost the plot. Needless to say, they ate their words after the tech bubble burst and the overvalued tech stocks, which had driven the stock market, came crashing down. Not holding any tech stocks, Berkshire Hathaway’s relative performance was phenomenal. Another one of my favourite offshore asset managers, Orbis, has also under-performed the market and peers over the last 12 months. They, too, avoided the tech bubble of the millennium. I have heard it said, “history does not repeat itself, but it certainly rhymes”, as
investors we suffer from “recency bias”. We have short memories. We project the recent past and expect this to continue into the future, forgetting the lessons we have learnt. I cannot say whether the recent relative under-performance of Buffet and many other value managers is a repeat of what we experienced in 2000, but I believe caution is warranted particularly if you are basing your investment decision on the recent past performance of your manager. In their latest quarterly Managers Report, Orbis introduced the concept of “trending”, which is illustrated graphically below. The graph depicts the correlation of performance over the last 12 months vs the 12 months prior in respect of those shares, which have been out-performing or – in plain English – the shares that are doing well have continued to do well. This could be an indication of an expensive share getting even more expensive as the “herd” – wall of cheap central bank money – chases yesterday’s returns. Warren Buffet said: “Be fearful when others are greedy and be greedy when others are fearful.”

Exceptional tunny run off Cape Point The calm seas from Friday to Sunday coincided with an exceptional tunny run off Cape Point.
FISH ’N CHIRPS
Art Ridgway This is the time of season when tunny are around in the Cape and when locals and visitors pay up to R2 000 per person to charter a tunny trip. During the last three days, the coordinates 38-08 and 22 miles off the Cape Point provided one of the better tunny runs in a number of years. The calm weather and lack of snoek catches locally even lured a number of snoek boats to try and catch a few tunny to make a living. Boats from Hout Bay also located tunny and had good catches on the west side. Well-known deep sea charter anglers Alan du Plessis, Jason Jooste and Gareth Beaumont of South Sea Safaris, together with visitors who chartered boats Tyler and Lynx, reported some excellent catches of tunny. Alan said on Saturday and Sunday they had several yellowfin up to 45 kg. They also reported many shoals of 45 to 90 longfin tunny of between 15 kg to 25 kg, as well as smaller yellowfin caught on lures trawled A very satisfied charter fisherman, from the back of the boats.

spearfishermen also reported some epic battles targeting and boating very large yellowfin. Due to the lack of snoek in our waters since last July, a number of snoek boats opted to fish for snoek on the West Coast. Small boats and recreational fishermen from the Strand are still having good catches of mackerel in the calm water at Hottentots bankies and from Maccassar 9 and 13 fathom reefs. During Saturday and Sunday evening, a few kob and elf were also caught by small boats and kayak fishermen in the Poort area. Rock and surf regulars reported good catches of kob from just size to 13 kg at Paaltjies and the river mouth at Macassar Beach. Johan Uys reported catching kob from Friday evening to Sunday morning, fishing alongside Blake’s Island in Strand. He caught kob from 1,5 kg to 5 kg while using frozen maasbaker as bait. Local residents and anglers are concerned about the streaky patches of discoloured water which appears to be a developing red tide. This phenomenon often occurs at this time of the year and can develop into a full red tide. It is well-known that in these northwesterly conditions many bait fish like harders, maasbankers and small elf – being surface feeders – are driven close to the mountain side by these streaks of red plankton water. Some of the best yellowtail catches in the past have been caught by spinnermen from Blousteen, The Slope, Whalerock and ledges on the Rooi Els side. The present red tide bloom, even if it is non-toxic, can devastate marine life. At the moment there is no danger and the correct wind and currents could disperse the bloom. However, remember that given the optimum weather conditions, tides and weather, a red tide can be devastating such as the recent red tide on the West Coast which caused thousands of crayfish to walk out onto the beach due to lack of oxygen.

Talented gymnast earns top award MARK STUART “Janey is the most talented and driven gymnast I’ve ever had the pleasure of coaching.” So says Helderberg Gymnastics Connection coach Cherelle Ericksen when describing Janey Sutherland, the DistrictMail’s Let’s Play Sports Star for March. The 11-year-old superstar was crowned South African champion at the National Gymnastics Games in October last year. She achieved her number 1 ranking in the Level 4 category for women gymnasts in the 10 and under age group. She scored an incredible9.05onthe vault, 9.45 on the bar, 9.30 on the beam and 9.25 on the floor for an average of 9.2625 and a total of 37.05 out of a possible 40 points. Before attending nationals, Janey won the Women’s Artistic Gymnastics Western Cape trials, qualified for Western Province colours and went on to win the provincial championships. The Grade 5 Vergezicht Private School pupil only started gymnastics in May 2013. “She was always skipping and doing cartwheels around the houseandnaggedmetoletherjoin a gym,” says Janey’s mother, Cornel Power. “Eventually I gave in and Googled gyms in our area and found Helderberg Gymnastics Connection in Somerset West and signed her up in April 2013.” After her first day at Helderberg Gymnastics Connection, Ericksen and head coach Karin Brown told Cornel Janey had an amazing talent which needed to be developed. “Besides being naturally talented, Janey has an incredible drive and trains five times a week,” Ericksen explains.
Janey Sutherland (11) shows off her skill and grace on the balance beam. “She competed in two competitions in May 2013 and finished second in both. She then competed in the South Zone Competition in Uitenhage in August and won the Level 1 competition. In December, she won the most improved gymnast title at the club and skipped three levels to compete in Level 4 in 2014.” At her club’s year-end function last year, she was voted gymnast and club member of the year. Her coaches pushed her up three grades so that she will compete in Level 7 in competitions as of next month. Ericksen says her goal for Janey after Level 7 is for the SA team, which will prepare her for the 2022 Commonwealth Games and, finally, the Olympics. Although proud of her many achievements, none have gone to Janey’s head. “I like gymnastics andwanttocarryonbecauseIlove learning new routines, challenges and new skills.” She is very thankful to her mother and coach for their help and support.

St Georges handed an early season wake-up call LYNDON JULIUS St Georges were initiated into the Super League A with a 17-53 defeat against Tygerberg at Gustrouw on Saturday. It was the visitors that made the initial score through a well-worked try, which saw Strand-based flanker Dale Wilson score against his former team. Wilson went on to score a hat-trick of tries in the match. St Georges, however, struck back with two quick tries in succession, with veteran lockforward Clive Meyer dotting down for the home team and pocket-rocket wing Michael la Meyer going over for the second try. But both conversions were missed by flyhalf, Moeneeb Brinkhuis (10-5). The first-half, much like most of the match, saw Tygerberg dominate in practically all facets of the game. There were, however, bursts of brilliance from the home side’s flanker Trevino Alfes-
tus, vice-captain Morne Adams and seasoned hooker Megan Rose. The half-time score was 31-10 to Tygerberg. A ball in hand approach by the Lulu Boys would have been an ideal neutraliser for the ruthless attacking onslaught of Tygerberg. However, failed tactical kicks by St Georges played right into the visitors’ hands and allowedthepossessiontobeoverturnedtime and again. This also allowed them to dictate the attack for most of the match. Tiere scored seven unanswered tries, which brought the score to 10-53, just before home captain Isadore Armien scored a consolation last minute try, which was also converted to take the score to 17-53. The Lulu Boys would have taken a considerable amount of notes, not only from their opponents’ style of play, but also from their abilitiesandwhattofocusoninthefollowing weeks to come. St Georges host Belhar at Gustrouw on Saturday 18 April.
Berge skiet tekort teen Villager Villager het sy hertoetrede tot die WP Superliga A aangekondig met ’n 39-17 sege oor Helderberg op Brookside verlede Saterdag. Die telling vertel nie die hele storie nie, maar die tuisspan het reeds teen rustyd gerieflik voorgeloop met 27-5. Helderberg het in die kwartier net na die omdraai met twee goeie drieë die voorsprong laat krimp en was ongelukkig om nie hul vierde drie af te rond nie. Villager het egter met nog twee drieë, een verdoel, seker gemaak van ’n oortuigende oorwinning. Helderberg se driedrukkers was die jong

for the visitors. Both sides lost last weekend and will be keen to get their first Super B win. Are Raithby good enough to cause a small upset? I don’t think so. Prediction: Raithby to lose by 10 or less. Strand United vs Goodwood – Goodwood United beating Langa was just the start they needed. Goodwood, on the other hand, had a big victory last weekend and are my favourites in this league. With homeground advantage, a big set of forwards and fast backs, this could be a long afternoon for United. Prediction: United to lose by eight or more. All Saints vs Khayelitsha – Somerset West All Saints surprised many by winning Cloetesville last week and should be way too strong for Khayelitsha. But these are the sort of fixtures that they somehow manage to lose. Khayelitsha will do well to get a point from this match. Prediction: All Saints to win by 10 or more. Strand Pioneers vs Cloetesville – Abbattoir Pines are playing at home for the first time since last season and will be itching for a first victory since 2013. They could, however, not have asked for more difficult opponents. Prediction: Pioneers to continue their losing streak by more than 15. Eerste River play Thisles while Macassar and Strand are off this week.

With so many aspects of club rugby becoming more professional, our clubs seem to be stepping up nicely. Sir Lowrians and All Saints both walked away with victories on the road at the weekend. The fixtures for this week are: Sir Lowrians vs Maties – Sir Lowrys Pass All involved with Sir Lowrians over the past few seasons have dreamt of the Mighty Maties playing at Sir Lowry’s Park. After a great victory over Belhar, The Navy Train will be quietly confident. Maties could be a bit rusty after the Varsity Cup, but will have a better team than the one that competed there. This could be the biggest result in the history of WP club rugby if one considers that Sir Lowrians were in Division 5 in 2007. Prediction: Sir Lowrians to lose by 10 or more. St Georges vs Belhar – Gustrouw The Lulus had a tough match last week and I’m sure they’ll have a better grasp of what is expected this week. Belhar lost a close match last week, but will be confident based on what Tygerberg could get from this fixture. Prediction: St Georges to lose by 15 or less. Helderberg vs False Bay – Charles Morkel Stadium This fixture has always been an exciting match, with The Bay coming out on top more often than not. Berge are not good enough to be a real threat to a strong False Bay side with Community Cup aspirations. Prediction: Helderberg to lose by 15 or more. Raithby Universals vs Franschhoek – Franschoek With Franschhoek pipping RU to win the league last year, this could be a revenge match

KZN celebrated their victory over the Western and Eastern Cape teams during the interprovincial championships, which took place on the first day of the competition. The following Strand Nippers re-
ceived medals at the championships: Daniel Love, who participated in the interprovincial championship, representing the Western Cape and was second in the surf-swim event. Kira Bester, who also represented the Western Cape in the interprovincial championship, won her kneeboard race, was second in the surfswim and taplin event and third in the iron nipper event. She also received a bronze medal for the board and iron nipper events during the club championships.
Lauren Robb won a silver medal for the flags and bronze medals for the surf-swim and iron nipper events. Nicholas Cilliers received a gold medal for the kneeboard race. Jake Love won a silver medal for the kneeboard race, as well as the bodyboard race. Nicholas Lombard, Jake Love and Nicholas Cilliers received a gold medal for the relay kneeboard event.
