Rower skiet man (72) in oprit JAMEY GORDON “Dit was die naaste wat ek nog aan my dood gekom het. Ek is net gelukkig dat ek nog leef.” Dít is die woorde van ’n bejaarde man ná hy Saterdagaand buite sy Strand-Noord-woning deur ’n vermeende gewapende rower met ’n afgesaagde geweer in die bobeen geskiet is. Die slagoffer verkies om anoniem te bly uit vrees vir viktimisering. Die 72-jarige man vertel hy wou omstreeks 21:00 sy motor, wat buite in die oprit geparkeer was, in die motorhuis trek toe die voorval gebeur het. Voordat hy die voertuig ingetrek het, het hy nog eers rondgekyk om seker te maak geen verdagte persone hang buite rond nie. Hy vertel voorts sy vrou het vir hom binne die motorhuis gewag om hom te begelei. Maar nog voor hy die motor in die motorhuis kon afska-

kel, het ’n man op hulle toegesak. “Ek het ’n swart figuur in die oprit sien aankom, en dog toe dit is een van ons bure. Maar toe die figuur in die lig beweeg, besef ek dis ’n gewapende man,” vertel die bejaarde se eggenote. “Soos hy nader gekom het, het hy die geweer op my gerig en gesê ‘Don’t shout’, maar instinktief, het ek.” Sy het hard gegil in die hoop dat iemand haar sou hoor en hulle te hulp sou snel. Haar man het vinnig besef daar is groot fout toe hy haar hoor gil. “Ek het dwars gekyk en die man langs die motor sien staan. Ek het vinnig die deur van die motor oopgestamp, uitgespring, die man buite die motorhuis gedwing en vinnig die motorhuisdeur probeer sak,” vertel die bejaarde. Die man het egter sy geweer op die bejaarde gerig en ’n skoot in sy rigting geskiet voor die motorhuisdeur toe is. Die koeël het die bejaarde in sy regterbobeen getref.

Die man se eggenote het intussen haar na die huis gehaas en die paniekknoppie geaktiveer. Die alarm van die huis het afgegaan en die egpaar kon hoor hoe die man in ’n motor wegjaag. Gordonsbaai Sekuriteit was gou op die toneel en die bejaarde man is na Mediclinic Vergelegen vervoer vir mediese hulp. Die bejaarde sê eerder as om saam te speel het hy instinktief teen die indringer teruggeveg. “Dit kon veel erger gewees het. Wat as daar meer mans was? Wat as hulle die huis binnegegaan het en ons beroof het, of erger, vir ons aangerand het? Die moontlikhede is eindeloos. Ek het die beste gedoen onder die omstandighede, en dis ’n Godsbestiering dat dinge uitgedraai het soos dit het,” sê die bejaarde. Die bejaarde man sê behalwe die lastige wond aan sy bobeen wat nou moet genees, gaan dit goed met hulle ná die voorval.

’n Dossier vir poging tot moord is deur die Strand-polisie geopen. Ná ’n tydperk van relatiewe stilte op die misdaadfront, meen Heyns de Waal, hoofbedryfsbeampte van Gordonsbaai Sekuriteit, daar word verwag dat gewapende rooftogte en kapings/pogings tot kapings veral met die Kersseisoen sal toeneem. Herman Ras, hoof van gewapende reaksie vir Secure Rite Sekuriteit, sê misdaad neem gewoonlik die tyd van die jaar toe, veral gewapende rowe. Hy versoek dat mense waaksaam is en bewus is van wat rondom hulle aangaan. Andrew Kitshoff, voorsitter van Strand Buurtwag, meen egter misdaad het oor die afgelope paar maande afgeneem as gevolg van misdaadbekamping deur die polisie en die buurtwag. Kitshoff sê hulle het meer mense aan boord, en werk gereeld hand in hand met die polisie en verskeie sekuriteitsmaatskappye.

) In twee afsonderlike voorvalle, is ’n supermark in Gordonsbaai Saterdag deur gewapende rowers geteiken en ’n huiswinkel in die Strand Dinsdag beroof. Drie mans het Mariners Superette in Mariners Way van sowat R55 000 in kontant en R30 000 se sigarette beroof in ’n gewapende rooftog om 06:00 Saterdagoggend. Boonop het die mans ook met vyf Samsung-selfone op die vlug geslaan. Tien mans is later die dag deur lede van die Strand- en Gordonsbaai-polisie in Derdestraat, Strand vasgetrek. Die mans kon egter nie aan die voorval verbind word nie en is vrygelaat. Dinsdagmiddag omstreeks 12:30 is die huiswinkel, Ommie Draaijie in Forbesstraat, Strand, deur twee mans wat hulself voorgedoen het as klante, beroof. Een van die mans het ’n winkelassistent met pepersproei gespuit. Die mans het met die kasregister, ’n onbekende bedrag geld en sigarette op die vlug geslaan.

Men sentenced for terrorising motorists DELIAH BRINKHUIS

Several arrests in Lwandle Three illegal shebeens in Lwandle were issued a fine of R1 500 each this past weekend. Police also confiscated 377 litres of alcohol from these shebeens. Nine more suspects (aged 23 - 38) were arrested for possession of dagga during stop and search operations while two other suspects (aged 29 and 30) were arrested for drunk driving.

HAVE YOU SEEN THIS MAN?: The Somerset West Police are seeking the assistance of the public in tracking down this man, known as Viviano Hartnick. It is believed that Hartnick, who is from Macassar but currently living on Somerset West streets, can assist the police with their investigation of three cases. Anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of Hartnick is asked to contact Detective Sergeant Yolandi Africa on 021 850 1310.

Alfonso Isaacs (alias Nokkies) and Desmond Leyman (alias Oorlog), who terrorised motorists on the N2 for months, were sentenced in the Stellenbosch Regional Court last Friday, 14 November. Isaacs (29) was found guilty of robbery with aggravating circumstances and sentenced to 12 years imprisonment. Both men were arrested at the end of June 2012 and Isaacs has been in custody since then. Leyman (31) was sentenced to nine years imprisonment. Leyman is currently serving an eight-year sentence for a similar crime, of which three years have been suspended. The nine-year sentence will be

served concurrently with this sentence. The men are believed to have been part of a bigger group whose crime spree spanned from January to June 2012. The determination by the investigating officers, Detective Warrant Officer James Jansen and Detective Constable Norman Ngenelo, led to the arrest of Isaacs and Leyman at the end of June that year. The robbers obstructed the road with bricks at various points between the Macassar bridge and the Baden Powell Road off-ramp, and robbed motorists of laptops, handbags, cash and cellphones when they stopped to inspect the damage to their vehicles. During the five months, 21 robberies, a few of which included assaults, were reported to the Macassar Police. Isaacs and Leyman were positively linked to a handful of these cases.

Man shot, bread truck robbed in Macassar DELIAH BRINKHUIS A Macassar man survived a shooting incident during an armed robbery in Macassar on Tuesday this week. According to Sergeant Chrisy Lewaks, the incident occurred outside a bread distributing company in Musica Avenue, opposite the Macassar High School, just before 12:00. Two men in a light blue Toyota Corolla had stopped in front of the business when one of the men, wielding a firearm, approached two employees in a truck. He allegedly pointed the gun at the employee in the front cabin of the truck and demanded money. The em-

ployee said that he had no money and that the driver was inside. The robber took the man’s cellphone and forced the other employee, who was in the back of the truck, into the cabin with him and allegedly ordered them to sit with their hands folded across their chests. Lewaks said a man who was walking past the truck then asked the robber for bread. The robber was, however, waiting for the driver to come back from the house and tried to force the beggar into the back of the truck. He resisted and was shot in the stomach. The injured man fled the scene and ran into a garden in Showboat Street, behind Musica Ave-

Minuteslater, theunsuspectingdriver was robbed of R34 000 as he approached the truck.

No arrests have yet been made.

15 years for Sir Lowry’s cycle robbers JAMEY GORDON Two of three men who were accused of robbing a Gordon’s Bay resident of his personal possessions while he was cycling in Sir Lowry’s Pass earlier this year were sentenced in the Somerset West Regional Court. Gerswin Mitchell (22) and Thabo Mamba (20) from Rastakamp, Sir Lowry’s Pass were found guilty on a charge of robbery with aggravating circumstances. Mitchell was also found guilty of being in possession of an unlicensed firearm. The case against the third accused, Ashley Makundai (22), was withdrawn. The men were each sentenced to 15 years

imprisonment, of which four years were suspended for five year. This means that they will serve 11 years in prison, and should either of them commit a similar offence during the suspension period of five years, an application can be submitted for them to receive the further four years imprisonment. Mitchell received an additional three years’ imprisonment for the possession of an unlicensed firearm. DistrictMail previously reported that the young men were arrested by the Somerset West Police after robbing Malcolm Fox of his personal possessions while he was cycling in the Sir Lowry’s Pass area on Saturday 31 May. The incident occurred at 12:20 when three men held Fox at gunpoint

and robbed him of his mountain bike valued at R12 000, cellphone, car keys and Oakley sunglasses. The entire incident was captured on his GoPro – a high definition camera – which led to the men’s arrest. The men made their first court appearance on 3 June. Emma Fox, the wife of the victim, says she and her husband are elated and relieved that the men were caught, found guilty and received such a “good” sentence. Colonel Mary-Ann Williams, Somerset West Police Station commander, commends the investigating officer, Detective Warrant Officer Carleigh Noemdo, for the outstanding manner in which he conducted the investigation.

Macassar rou ná dood van matrikulant DELIAH BRINKHUIS

CAUGHT RED-HANDED: Disciplinary action has been taken against a driver of a municipal truck who was seen towing a car last Tuesday. The incident was photographed by a Strand resident at about 11:40 in Tenth Street, Strand. Councillor Ernest Sonnenberg, Mayoral Committee Member for Utility Services at the City of Cape Town said the driver and crew were identified and that they will be disciplined. Sonnenberg thanked the reader for reporting this misuse of government property, and said incidents such as these can be reported to the City’s call centre on 0860 103 089.

Man killed by train in Somerset West A man was hit and killed by a train close to Van der Stel Station on Saturday 15 November. It was reported that a 41-year-old man was hit by a train at about 18:15. He died on the scene. Col. Andrè Traut, provincial police spokesperson, said police are investigating the possibility that the man took his own life. Police have opened an inquest docket. According to a Metrorail spokesperson, the incident took place between Somerset West and the Van der Stel Station. Busses were supplied to passengers while the line was closed.

Hierdie Saterdag sal Henrietta Deane van Macassar haar enigste dogter, Tarryn, begrawe in stede van die beplande eerste verjaarsdagpartytjie hou vir haar kleindogter, Tarah-Leigh. Tarryn (19), ’n matrikulant aan die Hoërskool Zandvliet met ’n belowende toekoms, het Sondag in die Tygerberg-hospitaal gesterf. Tydens DistriksPos se besoek aan die familie Maandag het Tarah-Leigh op haar ouma se skoot met ’n speelgoed towerstafie sit en speel, onbewus van die hartseer van die res van die familie. Sy het die volgende dag (Dinsdag 18 November) haar eerste verjaarsdag gevier en die stafie was deel van haar verjaarsdagkostuum vir Saterdag se partytjie. Tarryn is verlede Woensdag in die Eersterivier-hospitaal opgeneem nadat sy die vorige dag kort-asem geword het. Volgens Henriëtta het Tarryn in die weke voor dit van pyn oor haar bors gekla. Henrietta sê dat daar bevind is dat Tarryn water op haar longe het en dat dit ty-

dens haar opname in die hospitaal dreineer is. Tarryn was een van die top drie matrikulante aan die Hoërskool Zandvliet en is as die beste matrikulant aangewys tydens die skool se onlangse akademiese prysuitdeling, waar sy ses diplomas vir sewe van haar vakke ontvang het. Sy was ook ’n klasmonitor en lid van die leerderraad. Sy was ’n toegewyde leerder en het aangedring om Donderdag haar Afrikaanse vraestel te skryf. Haar onderwysers het haar by die hospitaal gaan haal nadat sy ontslaan is sodat sy eksamen kan skryf. Samantha Flaendorp, haar klasonderwyser, vertel dat hulle Tarryn moes ondersteun terwyl hulle haar by die eksamenlokaal ingehelp het. “Sy was ’n vegter, en alhoewel ’n mens kon sien dat sy pyn het, het sy aangedring dat niks fout was nie,” sê Flaendorp. Tarryn is egter weer Saterdag in die Helderberg-hospitaal opgeneem. Volgens Henriëtta het haar toestand verswak en is sy Sondag in die vroeë oggendure na die Tygerberg-hospitaal oorgeplaas. Sy het in ’n koma gegaan en nie weer bygekom nie. Volgens Flaendorp was Tarryn ’n nederige persoon wat haar altyd oor ander ontferm het ten spyte van haar eie probleme. Henrietta bevestig hierdie eienskap van haar dogter, en vertel dat Tarryn ’n paar jaar gelede ’n eenjarige seuntjie onder haar vlerk geneem het en begin versorg het. Die seuntjie, Ethan, is tans vier en woon steeds by die gesin. Haar broer Craig is trots op sy jong sussie en sê dat sy vasbeslote was om ’n sukses van haar skoolloopbaan te maak. “Hierdie hele jaar het Tarryn aan haar studies gewy,” sê hy, en voeg by dat sy gr.10 gedruip het, maar sedertdien elke jaar ’n top-leerder in haar graad was. Tarryn wou in haar ma se voetspore volg en het beplan om volgende jaar Onderwys aan die Universiteit van Weskaapland (UWK) te studeer. Die familie het Dinsdag op Tarah-Leigh se eerste verjaarsdag ’n gedenkdiens vir haar ma by die Hoërskool Zandvliet bygewoon. Volgens Flaendorp het baie van Tarryn se klasmaats eers toé die nuus van haar

Sy was ’n stil, teruggetrokke mens en haar klasmaats was baie geheg aan haar,” het sy vertel. Volgens Henriëtta het Tarryn kort nadat sy geboorte aan Tarah-Leigh geskenk het haar skoolloopbaan hervat. Sy sonder haar dogter se toegewydheid as ouer uit. “Ek het Tarryn bewonder vir hoe sy haar rol as ma ingeneem het en terselfdertyd op haar studies gefokus het. Sy het ’n sterk verantwoordelikheidsin gehad,” sê sy. Vir Henriëtta het haar dogter se siekte skielik gekom en is sy té gou van haar ontneem.“Ek het Sondagoggend met baie hoop by die hospitaal ingestap, maar Tarryn het sowat ’n uur later gesterf,” sê Henriëtta. “Ek weet nie hoe ek deur Saterdag gaan kom nie. In plaas van partytjie hou vir Tarah-Leigh, sal ek haar mammie begrawe,” sê Henrietta met ’n bewerige stem. Tarryn word oorleef deur haar ma Henriëtta, dogter Tarah-Leigh en broers Craig (27) en Kirk (15).

DELIAH BRINKHUIS A suspected law enforcement officer spun her private vehicle on Sunday afternoon in Macassar so out of control, that it went through one property’s gate, hit a man standing there, and then broke through a vibracrete wall into the next property before spinning its way out of that property’s gate and back into the street again.

She ploughed through a wall and through the neighbours’ front gate.

Somerset Mall will be the destination of the Somerset West Burger King outlet, opening in mid-December. The store will be stocked to sell 2 500 burgers on its opening day.

Burger King Whopper comes to the Helderberg The world-famous Burger King’s Whopper will be available in the Helderberg in December. Jaye Sinclair, CEO of Burger King South Africa, says the store will open in the Somerset Mall in mid-December, when their most popular product, the Whopper, will be available to hordes of customers. The store will be located in the food court, next to the cinema. The new store will be stocked with about 2 500 buns and patties on its opening day. When asked how the brand plans to cope with the massive number of customers that flock to Somerset Mall in the December period, Sinclair said: “Part of

our planning for each store is to ensure that we meet demands. This includes accommodating increased levels of shoppers during a busy festive season. Burger King South Africa has made provisions on a needs basis to ensure that we do not run out of stock.” Since the American brand touched down on South African soil last year, the top performing franchise has been in Sandton in Gauteng. The first South African franchise is on the Foreshore in Cape Town. Sinclair says that their next step after Somerset Mall is to open 100 stores by June 2015 in the Western Cape, Gauteng and Kwa-Zulu Natal.

Kommer oor voëltjies ’n Strand-inwoner het verlede week sy kommer uitgespreek oor die skoonmaak van ’n plaaslike vlei in die Strand, omdat daar talle voëltjies is wat in die park nessies het. Die inwoner, wat ’n anonieme sms aan die DistriksPos gestuur het, sê daar broei talle voëltjies by die vlei wat grens aan Georgestraat in Strand. Hy sê die voëltjies verloor hul eiers of kuikens met die skoonmaak proses. Maar Dave Venter, ’n plaaslike raadslid, sê die kontrakteurs wat die vlei skoonmaak sê hulle het geen voëls beseer tydens die skoonmaakproses nie. Venter sê die vlei moet skoon gehou word om te voorkom dat daar ’n oormaat insekte daar uitbroei.

Nip and tuck for historic bluegums DALEEN FOUCHÉ Western Cape Heritage has given their stamp of approval for the maintenance plan of bluegum trees in the historic bluegum avenue in Parel Vallei Road.

SLP river ‘not safe’ for swimming DALEEN FOUCHÉ The Sir Lowry’s Pass River is not safe for swimming due to the high level of faecal coliforms (e-coli) and other pollutants in the river. Local ward councillor, Johan Middleton, warned this week that children should not be swimming in the river, because some residents of the Sir Lowry’s Pass informal settlement empty their portable flush toilets (PFT) into the river. PFTs consist of a small portable seating structure and two removable bowls. These are cleaned three times a week by the City of Cape Town. A recent test of the Sir Lowry’s Pass River’s water quality, taken by a Somerset West resident, revealed a high e-coli count in this river. The City of Cape Town, however, would not comment on test results, because the test was not conducted by the City. Five water samples were taken from various places in the Sir Lowry’s Pass River by Stephen Leppan, a local activist, in September and sent to South African Bureau of Standards (SABS). He says he had the water samples tested because he saw how people emptied their PFT pots into the river. Leppan added that when he confronted the people, they said that they do not have enough PFTs and they fill up before the City can collect and clean them. The results show that the e-coli count at the Sir Lowry’s Pass Informal Settlement was 1 250 e-coli per 100 mF. The accepted level for water that people have “intermediate contact” with, exclu-

ding swimming, is 1 000 e-coli per 100 mF. Benedicta van Minnen, mayoral committee member for Health in the City of Cape Town, says she cannot comment on the test results as these were not analysed in the City’s laboratory and it is unclear how the samples were taken, stored and transported. She says it is also not clear whether the samples were analysed within the specified six hours from the time they were collected. Van Minnen says a single sample does not provide adequate information to draw specific conclusions from and the protocol for testing water requires several samples over a three month period to be compared. She says the City of Cape Town has all its tests done at its own laboratory. Middleton says the people using the river to empty their PFTs is a big problem which the City of Cape Town has addressed repeatedly through education campaigns. He says in addition to the PFTs, residents also have access to several flush toilets positioned across the informal settlement. Van Minnen, however, says additional full flush toilets will be installed in various informal settlements such as Wag ’n Bietjie and Beverly Hills in Sir Lowry’s Pass this year. “In addition, City Health in the past financial year and up until now held ten health interventions at Rasta Camp, crèches in the surrounding area and the primary school, focusing on diarrhoea prevention, personal hygiene, grey water, and illegal dumping.” Middleton says the river is also dangerous to children due to bottles and other rubbish being dumped in the river.

Mail Wees wakker en op die uitkyk Ná ’n paar stil weke met min ernstige gevalle van misdaad in die Helderberg, het hierdie monster weer sy kop uitgesteek. Die DistriksPos berig vandeesweek oor twee mense wat in afsonderlike insidente deur gewapende rowers geskiet is. ’n Strand-inwoner is in die bobeen geskiet deur ’n gewapende man, net buite sy huis, en ’n inwoner van Macassar sterk tans aan in Tygerberghospitaal ná hy betrek is by die gewapende roof van ’n broodafleweringswa en in die maag geskiet is. Met die vakansieseisoen op hande en die moontlikheid van misdadigers wat voordeel wil trek uit die talle vakansiegangers, moet Helderberg-inwoners inderdaad op hul hoede wees. Pas die nodige veiligheidsmaatreëls te alle tye toe en help die polisie deur enige verdagte optrede aan te meld. Dit is belangrik om te onthou ’n mens se lewe is ’n duisend keer meer kosbaar as enige besitting. In ’n lewensgevaarlike situasie is dit beter om eerder jou motor of beursie af te staan as om jou lewe prys te gee.

Rates increases not on municipal database With reference to the DistrictMail’s recent notice on rates increases and not having received any postage from the municipality (not necessarily a sign of a rates increase), I went to the Strand municipal offices and was assisted by a very competent and efficient young lady in searching the two large files containing the citywide rates increases. Time spent, 30 minutes. Conclusion: whoever managed/programmed the compilation and way the files were put together did it in the most time efficient way. Problem being, they did not consider the most efficient way for staff using the printed information, resulting in the thousands of wasted man hours by municipal staff across the peninsula. Poor indexing of reference numbers and names, giving the impression that it had been “thrown together”. The information was not available in the municipal database.

Gordon’s Bay water pressure problems due to vandalism Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings but this has got to be done. I live in Disa Road, Gordon’s Bay and for the last three to four weeks have had terrible water pressure. But since Dennehoff Road has now finally been completed, every morning the water gets cut for some or other reason. The water sometimes stays off almost the whole day and things like drinking water, cooking water and a small matter of washing clothes come to a grinding halt. This as a pensioner is not funny. As if we don’t have enough problems without having to deal with this as well. Please could you find out what is going on and get someone to fix it properly for once and for all. If this happened in an area where councillors stayed I bet this would have been sorted in no time. But we

Response from the City of Cape Town: On 6 and 7 November one of the City’s service providers did pressure tests in Gordon’s Bay and had to turn the water supply off. This was a planned interruption and residents were informed of it via the local media. Areas fed by the Mountainside and Mariners Way pressure reduction valves were affected. On 8 November the Strand Water Depot received numerous calls from residents in Gordon’s Bay regarding low water pressure. On investigation it was found that two valves on the corner of Lemoenboom Road and Lancaster Road, Gordon’s Bay, had been vandalised. The valves

were both in a partially closed position, and the heads of the valves had been broken off. Repairs were effected and water supply was restored by 9 November at about 14:00. Supply was again interrupted on 14 November at about 08:00 due to a damaged water pipe. Water supply was restored at 14:00 on the same day. Water supply to Gordon’s Bay is currently operating as normal. Should further interruptions occur, residents should please report this to the City’s Call Centre on 0860 103 089, via SMS to 31373 or via e-mail to watertoc@capetown.gov.za. The City apologises for the inconvenience caused, and would like to again appeal to residents to report incidents of vandalism, which cost the City and the ratepayer large amounts of time and money each year.

Hats off to Somerset West police Somerset West Neighbourhood Watch was pleased to see the recognition given to Somerset West police with their recent award for crime prevention and detection. Given the wave of armed robberies that has affected our community, it took significant work to turn the situation around. It should perhaps also be recognised that the award reflects the tremendous community effort put in to support the police, without which such results would not have been possible. The Community Security Partnership which comprises ADT, AM Security, Gordon’s Bay Security, Secure Rite Security and Neighbourhood Watch were pleased to contribute to the overall picture with a significant number of arrests for various offences during the month in the Somerset West area.

WAAR LOOP MENS? Strand-sakeman Petrus Pieterse het dié foto’s gestuur en wil weet hoekom die stalletjies in Kusweg, Strand, die sypaadjies volstaan en so naby aan die pad is. Rld. Dave Venter reageer: “Die stalletjies word tans staangemaak binne die afgebakende gebied soos jare gelede deur die Strandmunisipaliteit bepaal is. Die verskil met betrekking tot informele en formele besighede (afstand van die pad) word aangespreek. Daar is slegs beperkte aantal stalletjies steeds op die sypaadjies en dit sal binnekort verskuif word sodra die Pawiljoen-parkeerarea opgradeer is. Ten slotte, my persoonlike mening is dat die voormalige Strand-munisipaliteit hulle te na aan die verkeer oftewel straat toegelaat het. Dit is juis daarom dat ek en my kollegas in die portefeulje waarop ek dien ondersoek aangevra het en aanvoer dat geen onderskeid tussen Informele handelaars en formele besighede wat op sypaadjie wil handel dryf (bv. Restaurant/Koffiewinkel) gemaak moet word nie. FOTO: PETRUS PIETERSE

Thanks, Mediclinic Bad news travels fast and seems to linger on. And, good news is soon forgotten. For this reason I wish to put in writing the good experience I recently had at Mediclinic Vergelegen when I had an emergency admission at 04:00 one morning. From the moment I entered the emergency rooms my experience was five star. The admission officer was pleasant and completely efficient. The casualty officer obviously had a wealth of experience and confidently applied the necessary emergency treatment. I was off to the ward within the hour and warmly welcomed by helpful and willing staff. They arranged to put me on a theatre list. I was seen early that morning by the specialist and anaesthetist. Various tests were requested and concluded before I went to theatre at 11:00. Once again everyone was compassionate and caring. The procedure was a success and I was discharged three days later. I was extremely well nursed back to strength whilst in the ward. The nursing staff were excellent. The whole experience made me feel proudly South African and I thought it deserved a mention. Thank you to Mediclinic Vergelegen.

Inwoner ontevrede oor ‘onwettige skrootwerf’ en rotprobleem Ek is ’n inwoner van Webbstraat, Strand, en is baie ongelukkig met die goed wat hier aangaan. In ons straat is daar ’n man wat ’n onwettige skrootwerf bedryf. Die man het geen goedkeuring van die Stadsraad van Kaapstad nie. Hy oortree alle munisipale regulasies wat in ’n woongebied geld. Die skrootwerf doen 24 uur per dag sake en dit is ’n skande om te sien. Dis ook ’n gesondheidsrisiko want ons sit nou met ’n rotteplaag. Van die inwoners het al by die munisipaliteit oor die saak gaan kla, maar daar is nog niks daaraan gedoen nie. Ek wonder net as dit ’n ander woonbuurt was of die munisipaliteit so laks sou gewees het om teen die man op te tree.

ONGELUKKIGE STRAND-INWONER

Volgens Richard Bosman, hoof van die Stad Kaapstad se veiligheiden sekuriteitafdeling, het amptenare van die Stad se metaaldiefstal- eenheid op Maandag 10 November die perseel besoek en ondersoek ingestel. Bewyse is op die perseel gevind dat die eienaar onwettig plastiek en skroot (soos yskaste ens.) koop en verkoop. Die eienaar is ’n boete van R1 000 opgelê vir handeldryf sonder ’n lisensie en ook ’n R1 000 boete vir die oortreding van die Wet op Grondgebruik omdat die eiendom nie vir besigheidsdoeleindes gesoneer is nie. Opvolginspeksies sal deur die eenheid uitgevoer word om te verseker dat die regulasies nagekom word. Die Stad se gesondheidsafdeling het voorgestel dat ’n omgewingsgesondheidspraktisyn die perseel sal besoek om die rotprobleem te onder-

soek en die nodige stappe te neem indien nodig. Ons waardeer die oplettendheid van die inwoners ten opsigte van veiligheid in hul woonbuurte en die rapportering van onwettige aktiwiteite aan die Stad sodat stappe geneem kan word. Inwoners kan onwettige aktiwiteite by die Stad se wetstoepassing by 021 596 1999 of die polisie aanmeld. Enige klagtes wat verband hou met grondgebruik, soos die oortreding van soneringsregte, kan by die plaaslike Beplanning- en Bou-ontwikkelingsbestuur se distrikskantoor aangemeld word. Klagtes oor geraas of gesondheid verwante sake kan na die plaaslike gesondheidskantoor verwys word. Ons amptenare kan ondersoek instel en die nodige stappe neem sodra die Stad ’n klagte ontvang het.

Macassar-matrikulant moet korneaoorplanting kry My naam is Shane Daniels, ’n inwoner van die Strand. Ek en my vriende het besluit om vir ’n matriekleerder haar droom matriekafskeid te organiseer. Die leerder wat ons gekies het, het tans ’n oog probleem en benodig geld vir ’n oogoperasie. Sy het gedurende verlede jaar ontdek dat sy ’n probleem met haar oë het. Dit het slegs maande geneem voordat sy blind in haar een oog geword het. Sy het vroeër hierdie jaar vir ’n operasie gegaan om te verhoed dat dit versprei na haar ander oog. Die struikelblok wat hierdie leerder tans het is dat sy dringend ’n kornea

oorplanting benodig, maar sy beskik nie oor die nodige geld nie. Sy beoog om volgende jaar onderwys te studeer. Hierdie leerder sukkel tans om te studeer aangesien haar een oog onder baie druk is. My vriend wat ’n modeontwerperstudent in sy derde jaar by Kaap Peninsula Universiteit van Tegnologie in Kaapstad is, het aangebied om die rok vir die leerder te ontwerp en te maak. Ek het ook ander vrywilligers gekry om te help met die grimering, hare, naels, skoene, motor, ens. Enige een wat daarin belangstel om donasies te gee kan vir Shane Danies by shane89wp@gmail.com. kontak.

Applying these tips could ensure a safer season With the holiday season rapidly approaching, the South African Police Services has warned the public to be extra careful and aware of their safety and security around the home as this is also the time of the year when robberies and burglaries occur more frequently. The following are just some of the safety tips highlighted on the SAPS website www.saps.gov.za. ) Security gates with sturdy locks in front of each outer door as well as burglar proofing covering all windows, are recommended. ) The following devices also prevent easy access and are advised: window bars, security doors, security gates and razor wire. ) Additional locking devices on doors as well as the strengthening of doors, peepholes in doors, safety chains to doors as well as an intercom system between the home and gate, front door or garage are also a good idea. ) Alarm, systems such as those connected to an armed response company are recommended. These should include an alarm on the roof that can be heard over a long distance and activated by a panic button in the house. ) Panic buttons in different rooms of the house should also be installed and an alarm should also be able to warn occupants of an intrusion in the house. ) Security lights on the outside of the house also help improve the physical protection of a house. These lights must be di-

rected away from the house and allow occupants to use the windows without being observed from outside. ) Doors should be locked and windows closed when you are not at home. ) Large dogs serve as a deterrent so train at least one of them to sleep inside the house. ) Ensure that tools such as axes, spades, picks, ladders, etc. that can be used to break in or used in an attack, are locked away when you do not use them. ) Always keep a torch nearby at night and when you do use it, ensure you do not give away your position. ) If you are unsure about the security status of your home after returning home (eg your dogs do not come to the gate), do not enter your home. ) Identify safe places of refuge, ie: bathroom, toilet or storeroom. The fewer windows and doors these rooms have, the better. ) Immediately report suspicious behaviour to the South African Police Service. ) Clear the areas around the gates of bushes and other possible hiding places. ) Ensure that you have a good relationship with your neighbours so that you will be in a good position to support and help each other if needed. ) Identify keys by means of codes instead of writing on labels to which gate or door access can be gained. ) Never hide any keys in traditional places, such as in pot plants or under doormats. Keys in the keyhole on the inside of the front or back door should be turned to avoid easy

Macassar Metodiste reël dag van gebed This arrangement was done by Kim Zimmerman, interpreting “The Fairest Cape’’ under the theme “Wine blending’’, at the Helderberg Flower Club’s show.

Celebrating with flowers

BLOMMEKLUB SLUIT AF: Die Strand Blommeklub het onlangs hul Kersfees-afsluiting gevier. ’n Kersfeesboodskap is deur Erna Kruger gelewer en ’n beker vir die lid wat die meeste vordering getoon het, is aan Elsa Smit (op die foto) oorhandig.

Die Macassar Metodistekerk beplan ’n dag van gebed op 26 November om 10:00 by die kerk. Daar word beplan om na al die ingange van die dorp te gaan en

te bid vir vrede, asook die bekamping van drank- en dwelmmisbruik en gesinsgeweld. Bel gerus vir Jacoba Wentzel by 074 835 9155 om deel te neem. Almal is welkom.

The Floral Trends Design Group will be holding their annual competitive flower show in the Hottentots Holland NG Church hall this weekend, Saturday 22 November. The theme for this year’s show is “Celebrating’’. Participants will be judged on their interpretation of titles such as “Colour me beautiful’’, “The sky’s the limit’’ and “Shelter from the storm’’. Judging will take place during the morning and the show will be open to the public from 12:00 to 15:00. The church hall is in Gordon Road, with the entrance in Plein Street. Entry to the event is R20 and anyone is welcome. For more information contact Kim Zimmerman on 021 852 2656.

On Saturday the 15th, we commemorated the first anniversary of the devastating flood that brought our practice to its knees in November 2013. During that particular night the Lourens River broke its banks and it resulted in our Somerset West practice being completely destroyed. We lost all our imaging equipment, computers, cabling, server, dedicated software and telephone system. One year later we are proud to announce that we have succeeded in re-building our practice from scratch. All our imaging equipment had to be replaced in the process and we are now again offering a state of the art service to the community. We are grateful to our patients, referring doctors and Medi Clinic for their understanding and support during this difficult

period and we would like to make special mention of our staff because none of this would have been possible without them. In the immediate aftermath they were not discouraged by the massive disruption, but reported promptly for duty and jumped in and assisted where they could whether it was cleaning up, sorting or making inventories. The staff, regardless of their job titles, offered to do paperwork for weeks on end at different locations and many of them worked long hours especially at other practices e.g. Stellenbosch. This enabled us to continue with rendering a service to our patients even while functioning without our main practice. It took us nearly 4 (four) months to become fully operational again and we are very proud of what we have achieved. When we look back we realize that this disaster brought us closer together and made us stronger.

RUBRIEK

Wat van langtermyngeskenke vir jou kind? My kollega Ronald King het die ander dag ’n baie relevante artikel geskryf oor ons gewoonte om vir kinders geskenke te gee. Dit is soveel makliker om vir ’n vierjarige dogter ’n Kersgeskenk te koop as vir ’n 18-jarige seun.

JY EN JOU FINANSIES

Vir sus sal enige pop werk, veral as dit ’n Doc McStuffins pop is. As jy Heinn vir ouboet vra is dit iets tussen wat-ook-al en enigiets. Maar wat koop jy vir jou kind, of jou kleinkind as hy nou reeds sy tweede Massey Ferguson skaalmodel-trekker gekry het? Dit is hier waar ’n geskenk vir die toekoms wonderlik kan wees. Wanneer die meeste van ons geskenke uitsoek, kies ons iets wat ons hoop onmiddellike bevrediging en geluk by die ontvanger sal ontlok. Nie een van ons wil werklik ’n

geskenk gee wat eers oor 15 jaar voordele sal inhou nie. Maar dit is verbasend wat mens kan regkry oor so ’n tydperk. As ons byvoorbeeld vir ouboet elke Kersfees vandat hy twee jaar oud was, R1 000 in ’n Effektefonds geplaas het, sou daardie belegging nou op R78 358 gestaan het, Havinga net mooi genoeg om vir sy eerste jaar van studies te betaal, of daardie tweedehandse Ford te koop wat hy vir Universiteit wil hê. Daarteenoor sou dieselfde belegging in die bank net oor die R33 000 werd gewees het. Saamgestelde rente is al dikwels een van die wonders van die wêreld genoem en dit is beslis verstommend, ’n 2% beter opbrengs op R10 000 is R200 oor ’n jaar, maar hoe langer die termyn, hoe groter die

Somerset West : 021 840 1440

verskil. Oor tien jaar is die verskil reeds R2 190, oftewel 21,9% en oor 15 jaar 34,6%, oor 20 jaar 48,6% en oor 25 jaar 64,1%. Hoewel 25 jaar lank klink, beteken dit dat die geld beskikbaar sal wees lank voor die meeste kinders deesdae trou. Hoe langer die termyn, hoe meer aggressief kan die belegging ook wees. ’n Belegging wat slegs uit aandele bestaan, behoort oor ’n 25-jaartermyn, vyf en ’n half keer meer te wees as die oorspronklike bedrag. Met so ’n Kersgeskenk gee ons nie alleen ons kinders of kleinkinders iets wonderliks eendag wanneer hulle dit nodig het nie, maar ons leer hulle om te spaar en dat tyd hulle vriend is as hulle vroeg met enigiets begin. So kom ons maak hierdie Kersfees ’n verskil; kom ons begin bou aan ’n toekoms vir ons kinders.

Pets sterilised to curb cancer

VISIT BY CONSUL GENERAL: The Consul General of the Netherlands, Bonnie Horbach, recently visited the Lord Charles Ladies Club. Seen here with her are (from left) Jenny Lewis (club member), Marianna de Villiers (chairperson), Serge Fourlon (managing director of NH The Lord Charles Hotel), Bonnie Horbach and Trucia O’Grady (club member).

EberVet Community Veterinary Care (EVCVC) recently held a charity sterilisation campaign in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Local veterinarian Dr Hilldidge Beer says very few pet owners know that breast cancer can also affect their dogs and cats. Beer says the incidence of breast cancer in dogs is one in four female dogs and in cats almost 50%for females. Half of these cancers in dogs are malignant, which means they can

spread to the rest of the body; 85% of cancers in cats are malignant. Beer adds that breast cancer in pets can be prevented and possibly be eliminated completely if the animal is sterilised before its first heat. The first 30 pets to be sterilised at the Country Animal Clinic were those rescued by the Fallen Angels organisation in Table View. “We are happy to have prevented breast cancer in these animals,” said Beer.

Signs of a good elf season abound The tables were turned between angler and seal this weekend when Jan Louw managed to extract a large kob from the clutches of a seal at Harbour Island on Saturday. Jan noticed there were large shoals of harders (mullet) near his boat’s mooring in Harbour Island and while catching a few for bait he saw a seal next to his boat struggling to subdue a large fish. He quickly grabbed the gaff on his boat and gaffed the fish which turned out to be an 11 kg kob. The kob had been grabbed by the throat and very little damage had been done to it by the seal. Riaan Steyn reported that very few fish were caught in the shore angling competition held by Pearly Beach Club on Saturday. He said 55 anglers took part and only five

anglers managed to weigh in fish. Jacques Viviers won the competition with four kob. Second was Hans Strydom with one white steenbras and one hottentot and third was Wikkie van Dyk with three kob. Most of the fish were caught from “Die Eiland” and “Die Gruis”. Stomp se baai at Uilenkraalsmond delivered quite a number of galjoen which had to be released as the galjoen season is now closed. During the Pearly Beach Angling Club meeting held on Saturday evening Philip Fourie was chosen as club captain for 2015. The rain and swells up to five metres were not conducive for deep sea boat angling this past weekend. The inclement weather and rough water (langbeen water) also restricted shore and boat angling along our section of False Bay. One angler did however manage to catch a reasonable size galjoen on Melk Bay beach, which he returned to the sea. On Saturday Gordon’s Bay angler Henry August, fishing on Strandfontein beach “the fridge”, saw only three anglers at the venue and only one kob of 14 kg was landed. He mentioned this spot is usually crowded, but the coarse sea and sporting events on TV seemed to have kept anglers at home. Besides having a good start to the Summer kob season there are also good signs of plenty of birds working on small bait fish off the reefs in the Strand. These are indications that there could be a good elf season for a change, that is if the trek netters in False Bay don’t wipe out complete shoals of elf of all sizes and other species. Fishing clubs and individuals should keep lobbying against trek netting in False Bay. Good news for professional and weekend boat anglers is that the snoek came around from Groen Duine into Buffel’s Bay on Saturday. Only two commercial boats who braved the conditions managed to boat ±50 fish. For all your reel repairs and services contact Art on 021 854 3831.

Local tennis stars shine in Boland Mini Series

Helderberg impress to beat Yorkshire by seven wickets Helderberg won their First Division B away match against Yorkshire last weekend by seven wickets. The weather put a dampener on the first day and play only started at 14:00. Captain Vincent Castle lost the toss and was asked to bat first. The innings got off to a shaky start when opener Gary-John Sylvester (4) lost his wicket early on. Vincent Castle (28) and Leneal Treziers (44) steadied the ship and batted responsibly, with Treziers never giving any indication that there was a problem with the pitch. Helderberg ended their innings on 135/10 with Yorkshire having to bat seven overs before the end of the day. The Helderberg bowlers took advantage of the conditions and Christo Southey struck with the first ball of the innings. Cody

Davids added insult to injury, claiming a wicket with the first ball of the second over. Yorkshire lost two more wickets and were on 10/4 at the close of play on day one. Play resumed 30 minutes earlier on Sunday due to time lost on day one. Helderberg were determined to finish Yorkshire off quickly and did just that when Southey (10-5-13) and Castle (7-4-2) took the remaining six wickets and bowled Yorkshire out for just 18 runs. Yorkshire followed-on with a deficit of 117. Their batsmen did not give up without a fight and made Helderberg field for 83 overs before they were bowled out for 158 and with a lead of only 41 runs. Helderberg lost three wickets in the chase to win the game. Gary-John Sylvester (15) and Junaid Sylvester (16*) were the best batsmen for Helderberg.

Hottentots Holland Cricket Club look set for another convincing win Hottentots Holland Cricket Club’s first team appear to be a commanding position in their match against Kensington, which resumes this Saturday. The match could only start after 14:00 due to the heavy rain on Friday night and was reduced to 40 first-innings overs. Hottentots Holland batted first and scored 230/3 in their 40 overs. The top scoring batsmen were A Temoor (92*), R Rhoda (52*), R van Reenen (49) and E Pedro (28). Kensington were no match for the Hotten-

Hottentots Holland immediately forced the follow on and Kensington was sent into bat again and were on 2/4 at the close of play on day one. The HHCC’s top bowlers in the second innings were: G Moller 2-1-2, C Mitchell 2-1-1 and A Temoor 1-1-0. The second and third team matches were cancelled.

Wet pitches make the going tough at Radloff Park Heavy rainfall on Friday night dramatically affected matches played at Radloff Park on Saturday morning. The match between the Somerset West first team and Mannenberg only started at 14:00 and players found conditions tough when play eventually did resume. To make matters worse SWCC lost the toss and were sent in to bat first. The openers found the damp pitch difficult to play and both batsmen

were out cheaply. Daniel Seha and Stephan Southey then combined to stabilise the innings for the home team before a middle order collapse saw Somerset West at 41/5. David Killian (21) then joined Stephan Southey at the crease for a 59run partnership. This was followed by a seventh wicket partnership of 34 runs between Southey and Michael Osborn and a ninth-wicket partnership of 45 runs between Southey and Dean

Vincent. Stephan Southey (94) was the last wicket to fall and SWCC were all out for 183. Manenberg were on 20/1 after 15 overs at stumps on day one. Bishop Lavis found conditions on the SWCC B field unplayable and were all out for 12 in their match against the SWCC second team. This match also had a late start due to the wet conditions. SWCC won the toss and put the visitors in to bat. Pierre-Henry Hurn was the destroyer in chief returning figures of 5-0-5-11. SWCC also found the going tough immediately losing two wickets. Skipper Sergio Hilario (38 *) assisted by Morne Marais and Christiaan Jooste stabilised the innings to end on 120/4 at the close of play. The rain accounted for the SWCC third-team match as well as the majority of the junior matches not being played with only two junior sides taking to the field. The u.10 Gremlins travelled to Durbanville where they faced a formidable Durbanville side. The homeside scored 215 runs in 30 overs. Simon Odendaal retuned the best bowling figures of 3-0-2-12. The

Macassar vs Gugs match evenly poised The First Division D two-day match between Macassar and Gugulethu, which continues at the Gugulethu sport grounds on Saturday, is evenly poised and could go either way. The game was delayed due to heavy rain and only started at 14:00. Gugulethu won the toss and sent Macassar in to bat and made good use of the bowler-friendly conditions. Macassar lost opening batsman Shaun Jantjies for 10 in the sixth over. However fellow opener E le Roux played well for his 28 and with Alton Roberts (40) took the score to 68/3 in 18 overs. A middle-order collapse then saw Macassar bowled out for 91 in the 26th over. The only other batsman who offered any resistance was captain Neil Swartland (13). The best Gugulethu bowlers were W Nkobane 11-3-32, K Pani 8-6-9 and S Mlakudi 6-1-25. Gugulethu adapted well to the conditions with an opening stand of 40 runs in 10 overs. David Sebastian got the first break through for Macassar dismissing M Xakana for 16. After that wickets fell at regular intervals with Julian Fortuin bowling brilliantly returning figures of 12-5-36.

Gugulethu tried to up the run rate, but were dismissed for 138 in the 40th over with a lead of 47 runs. The best batsmen were X Mdodwa (67), C Kayawa (20) and X Ngumbula (18). The other bowlers among the wickets were Chad Bailey 5-1-12 and Shane Swartland 4-1-17. With five overs left the visitors lost opener Shaun Jantjies (2) with the score on 7/1 at stumps on day one with E le Roux (3*) and Shane Swartland (0*) at the crease. Macassar’s second team won their sixth consecutive match when they beat Helderberg’s second team by three wickets. Macassar won the toss and bowled first and had Helderberg in trouble early with the score on 23/6. Helderberg fought back to post 71/10 in 32 overs. Macassar’s top bowlers were Kenneth Adams with 6-4-17 and Robert Hendricks with 7-4-28. Helderberg’s bowlers made Macassar’s batsmen work for their runs and they lost seven wickets before passing the score in the 26th over with Robin Abrahams top scoring with 26. He was supported by Kenneth Adams (11*) who was also the man of the match.

Steven Southey plays a shot of a batsman in form during his superb innings of 94 runs scored in difficult conditions against Mannenberg at Radloff Park on Saturday. PHOTOS: PETER BEE Gremlins batsmen never got going and were restricted to 98 in their 30 overs with Riley Norton top scoring with 26. The u.10 Goblins faced Blue Bells at home on Saturday and narrowly lost the match by two wickets. The Goblins batted first and were

boosted by a late flurry by Matthew Wilcock who struck 37 off 21 balls to take the total to 138 off 25 overs. The match went down to the wire with Blue Bells sneaking it in the end. Callum Wilson bowled well to record figures of 3-0-3-13.

Attitude is vital component in cricket The beauty about cricket is that any team can beat any other team on any given day. This is actually evident in all sport, but if you don’t pitch up mentally and physically on the day, you will be beaten. Take the Proteas for example. They had a great win against the Aussies in their first T20 and then lost the next two matches. I’m not saying they didn’t pitch up for the remaining games, but it’s conceivable that complacency crept in after their first win. I tell my players that there is no easy game. Each game is as difficult as the next. As soon as you drop your guard and lower your intensity the more chance you have to lose. Always respect the opposition and respect the game. It’s very important to have a positive attitude in cricket. When facing fast bowling in particular, attitude is very important. Stand-

ing your ground and “manning up” will go a long way to achieving success. We have seen many players over the years not fulfilling their potential due to lack of the right attitude. Having never say die and the team comes first attitudes are the one to have. Cricket has a knack of bringing those who don’t respect the game down to earth with a thump. The World Cup is around the corner and South Africa will once again be under the spot light. The Proteas will have to be switched on for every ball of every game if they want to win and there is no reason why they can’t.

DISTRICTMAIL’S LET’S PLAY SPORT STAR: WINNER OF THE YEAR CROWNED

Anri (11) wins coveted title MARK STUART

Eleven-year-old Anri Grobbelaar was voted as the DistrictMail/Let’s Play Sports Star of the year for 2014 at a special awards evening held at the Somerset West Cricket Club on Thursday 13 November. Anri, a Grade 5 learner at Beaumont Primary School, won the coveted award against some stiff opposition, but the judges felt that her selection as an 11-year-old to represent the Western Province u.19 women’s cricket team earned her the winning title. She is also the only girl at her school who is a member of the boy’s u.12 cricket team as well as a member of the u.12 boys team at the Somerset West Cricket Club. Anri explains that her brother Joubert (13) taught her to play the game and since the age of six she has been playing cricket with him since. She has also received specialised individual cricket coaching. Anri was absolutely thrilled to win the 2014 Let’s Play title and said that it was her dream to one day play for the South African women’s cricket team. Anri is a multi-talented allrounder and bowls as well as bats. She is also an excellent hockey player and was selected earlier this year for the Boland u.12 indoor hockey team. Among the other candidates who were also up for the award were: February winner fast-bowler Damian Cairncross (16) a grade 11 Hottentots-Holland High learner who was selected for the South African u.17 rural cricket team. March winner Schalk Burger (15), a Grade 10 Strand- High learner who was selected for the South African junior shore-angling team to compete in France.

Huis Jan Swart skep ware Huis Soeterus bied kwaliteit sorg tuiste vir bejaardes

Die ACVV Huis Jan Swart in die Strand is op 16 Februarie 1963 amptelik ingehuldig en het vandag 79 inwoners. Die eiendom is destyds geskenk aan die ACVV deur Jan Swart, met die voorwaarde dat daar ’n tehuis vir “ou manne” opgerig word. Swart is oorlede net ’n paar maande voor die ACVV Huis Jan Swart ingehuldig is. Die “ou manne” alleen was nie genoeg om die tehuis te vul nie, dus is die boonste vloer beskikbaar gestel vir vroue. In die 1990’s is daar ’n hysbak geïnstalleer omdat die senior inwoners gesukkel het met die trappe.

’n Anneks is later aangebou asook die tehuis se siekeboeg. Vandag word daar 79 inwoners gehuisves waarvan 22 in die siekeboeg is. Die tehuis het lojale werknemers wat ’n lang verbintenis met die tehuis en inwoners het. Die Beheerraad en personeel skep ’n ontspanne atmosfeer waar daar elke dag voluit geleef word en gereeld bederf word met spesiale funksies en aktiwiteite. Inwoners meen dat wanneer hulle gaan kuier, verlang hulle gou terug na hulle huis, mede-inwoners en personeel. “Ons raak geheg aan mekaar en almal raak ‘familie’,” merk een van die inwoners op.

ACVV Huis Soeterus is op 13 Januarie 1951 amptelik deur sir De Villiers Graaf, LV vir Hottentots Holland geopen.

Dit is die oudste tehuis in die Strand. Slegs ’n paar minute se stap van die see, is ACVV Huis Soeterus ’n plek waar ouer persone met lewenskwaliteit kan leef. Huis Soeterus bied sorg wat fokus op mense in ’n huis waar die lewe draai om verhoudings. Met Geratec se heerlike, voedsame boerekos is die eetkamer altyd stampvol! Die tehuis se pragtige tuin bied sithoekies waar inwoners kan kuier of sommer net rustig onder ’n boom kan sit en lees. Soeterus se filosofie is om werklik ‘n huis te wees waar inwoners keuses het, kan ontspan, privaatheid

kan geniet en ’n lekker vol lewe kan hê. Huis Soeterus bied sorg vir alle behoeftes in ’n ondersteunende omgewing waarbinne mense kan floreer. Huis Soeterus se visie is om ’n tuiste te skep waar inwoners omvattende versorging van hoogstaande gehalte in ’n veilige omgewing kan geniet, met die inwoners se welsyn wat as hoogste prioriteit geld. Die tehuis se missie is om bekostigbare behuising te verskaf ter bevordering van die algemene welsyn van inwoners. Die betrokkenheid van die inwoners, familie en die gemeenskap, gerugsteun deur die doeltreffende bestuur van hulpbronne en ontwikkelingsgerigte welsynsen ondersteuningsdienste maak die missie moontlik. In terme van dienslewering, bied Huis Soeterus ’n veilige woning met

kamerastelsels wat die tehuis monitor. Geratec is verantwoordelik vir die spyseniering, skoonmaakdienste en versorgingsdienste. Personeel onder leiding van die voedseldiensbestuurder, verskaf daagliks drie gebalanseerde maaltye, tee en koffie en peuselhappies. Versorging word gedoen deur opgeleide verpleegpersoneel. Die dienste sluit haarversorging, pastorale diens, kerkdienste wat herlei word vanaf die NG Kerk, oefensessies, biblioteekdienste en ’n snoepwinkel in. Op die grondverdieping is daar 26 kamers vir inwoners wat nog semiselfversorgend is. Op die eerste vloer is daar 43 kamers vir verswakte inwoners en in die anneks is daar ses selfsorg-eenslaapkamereenhede. Daar is altesame 77 inwoners by Huis Soeterus.

Die personeel van Huis Jan Swart is, van links, Elsie Gelandt, Francis Mohammed, Sr Brenda Smit, Veronica Gordon, Anna Louw, Henriëtte van der Merwe. Personeel afwesig tydens neem van foto is Desireé Samuels en Christine Davids.

Speelkasteel se kabouters in hul rekenaarklas.

Speelkasteel ’n plek van pret en onderrig Speelkasteel, ’n speelskool in die Strand wat deur die ACVV bestuur word, is geseën met liefdevolle en hardwerkende personeel. Die skool het tans 239 kinders en akkommodeer babas, kleuters, gr. R’e en het ook ’n nasorg sentrum. Vir die twee- tot vyfjarige kinders word daar ’n vroeë kinderontwikkelingsprogram aangebied en die Wes-Kaap se departement van onderwys se kurrikulum en assessering beleidsverklaring (KABV) word vir die gr. R klas aangebied. “Ons is ’n speelskool wat die pragtigste kleintjies het, met personeel wat lief is vir kinders en elke dag hard werk om die kleintjies met die regte opvoeding en leiding toe te rus sodat dit hulle in staat sal stel om hul plek eendag in die gemeenskap vol te staan,” sê Lea Ter Haar, bestuurder van die skool. Speelkasteel het reeds ’n gr. R-klas, ’n gr. RR-klas en beoog om in 2015 nog ’n senior. gr. RR-

klas te begin. Speelkasteel bied ook ’n groot verskeidenheid aktiwiteite aan, soos Playball, Kindermusik, Seetlief, Monkeynastix, Dance Mouse, Rugga Kids (rugby) en Stimuzone (rekenaarklasse). Speelkasteel het vanjaar begin met rekenaarklasse vir al die senior gr. R- en gr. RR-klasse. Dié klasse gaan ook gereeld op uitstappies. Hierdie jaar het hulle reeds die Twee Oseane Akwarium, die brandweer, daghospitaal, die tandarts, die veearts, Monkey Town en Butterfly World besoek. Speelkasteel het ook na ’n opvoering van Cinderella by die Baxter teater gaan kyk. Van Speelkasteel se kleiner klassies gaan besoek gereeld die ACVV ouetehuise, Huis Soeterus, Huis Jan Swart en Huis van Niekerk, om te gaan sing en gediggies voor te dra. Speelkasteel hou graag konsert en vanjaar het die kinders hul oupas en oumas bederf met ’n modeparade.

Die speelgroep se Kerskonsert vind eersdaags plaas en die gr. R-klas se gradeplegtigheid is ook om die draai. “Seker die lekkerste verrassing in die jaar is wanneer Kersvader kom kuier,” sê Ter Haar. Speelkasteel het tans 38 personeellede wat die aflospersoneel insluit. Doris Roman het op 3l Oktober haar 37-jaarherdenking diens by die Speelkasteel gevier. “Die personeel is almal toegewyde persone wat graag met kinders wil werk en baie liefde het om aan die kleintjies te gee.” Personeel van Speelkasteel woon gereeld opleidingsessies by wat die ACVV-streekskonsultant aanbied. Frikkie Cronje en Plot Plaatjies sorg vir al die herstelwerk, nuwe apparaat vir die kleintjies om op te speel en om die skool ’n pragtige en spoggerige plek te maak. Geld word jaarliks ingesamel deur ’n dans en modeparade, ’n konsert, lootjielyste en wegneemetes.
