Nuclear plan for Thyspunt put on hold SOUTH Africa’s nuclear programme took an unexpected turn last week when Eskom received authorisation from the Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) to build a 4 000 MW nuclear power plant at Duynefontein near Koeberg. Kouga Acting Mayor Brenton Williams said the long-awaited Record of Decision (ROD), released by DEA on Thursday last week, came as a surprise to many people as Thyspunt near Oyster Bay had for decades been mooted as Eskom’s “preferred site”. “The ROD means that construction at Thyspunt has been delayed by years, if not halted forever,” he said. The municipality met with Eskom on Monday to discuss the way forward for Kouga and Thyspunt following the ROD. “We were pleased by Eskom’s assurance
that they would continue their support programme for science and maths learners at five Kouga high schools until at least 2019,” Williams said. “A Thyspunt Joint Project Steering Committee meeting will also still be held towards the end of November for Eskom to keep Kouga abreast of developments.” Williams said Eskom had indicated that any further nuclear plans would depend on the National Integrated Resource Plan, which is currently being revised and is expected to be finalised by March next year. “Currently, the plan makes allowance for 9 600 MW of nuclear power to be added to South Africa’s energy mix by 2030. This number could be revised, which will impact on the roll-out of the nuclear programme,” he said. According to the ROD, the primary reasons Duynefontein received the nod are:
) DEA believes that the overall environmental impacts associated with the Duynefontein site are acceptable and materially lower than those at the Thyspunt site. ) Duynefontein being adjacent to the existing Koeberg Nuclear Power Station allows for a suite of logistical and operational synergies. ) The incremental environmental impacts of the Duynefontein site are generally less than the impacts associated with development of the “Greenfields” site at Thyspunt. ) The refinement of the Duynefontein footprint to a terrestrial area of some 265 ha immediately north of the Koeberg Nuclear Power Station and inland from the coast has materially reduced the footprint-related environmental impacts of the project. Eskom has, in the meantime, released a statement welcoming DEA’s permission for them to proceed with the nuclear installation
at Duynefontein. “While we had worked on Thyspunt being the preferred site ... we have always considered both sites equally capable of hosting a nuclear power plant,” Eskom’s Chief Nuclear Officer Dave Nicholls said. Five sites had initially been investigated at the scoping phase: Brazil and Schulpfontein in the Northern Cape, Bantamsklip and Duynefontein in the Western Cape, and Thyspunt in the Eastern Cape. “It is important to note that the other four sites are still usable in the future as no fatal flaws have been identified,” Nicholls said. “Going forward, we and GIBB, the independent environmental practitioner that compiled the Final Environmental Impact Report, will interrogate the decision and work within the regulations in terms of available options.”
National Council of Provinces visits Kouga THE National Council of Provinces (NCOP) visited Kouga last week as part of its two annual visits to provinces, with Eastern Cape being the focus in this round. Accompanied by the Eastern Cape Legislature, NCOP was represented by members Zukiswa Ncita and Thabiso Wana. Vumile Lwana was the Member of the Provincial Legislature present. Kouga Local Economic Development (LED) Portfolio Councillor Bryan Dhludhlu, who accompanied the delegation, said the visit included staff from the two houses, provincial government departments and the municipality. They visited the Jeffreys Bay Wind Farm and the Eastern Cape Black Fishers Association. Ncita said the visit was part of parliament’s oversight work, in particular where public funds are involved. The purpose is also to listen to challenges raised to them by community bodies through correspondence. “We are the one House in our democratic system that has been given powers to hold accountable all spheres of government, from na-
tional government to a local municipality. “Our visits are not meant to police institutions. Our aim is to identify shortcomings where we can assist and to draw lessons from best practices which can be emulated,” said Ncita. First up was the Jeffreys Bay Wind Farm, where the delegation received an update on the progress of the project, the budget, their social responsibility programmes and where they sought assistance from government and the legislators. The Fishers Association presented on the plight of fishermen when they are out at sea, as well as challenges faced by divers, fish processors and other emerging businesses in the fishing industry. Dhludhlu said the municipality appreciated the importance of all arms of the state working together in serving communities. “At the end of the day, we all have the same goal of ensuring that the best services reach our people and that institutions tasked with serving the public are held to account,” he said.

Kouga prepares for circumcision season SUMMER is the traditional male circumcision season and Kouga roleplayers are gearing up to help ensure the safety of this year’s participants. Kouga Speaker Horatio Hendricks, under whose office the Local Initiation Forum falls, said a team from the Department of Health was currently visiting high schools in the region to talk to prospective initiates. In-service training for traditional surgeons and nurses was also held earlier in the week. “The custom is a rite of passage from being a boy to manhood for some sections of the so-
ciety, especially among the Xhosa people. It has, however, become marred by controversy due to instances of ill-treatment of initiates resulting in serious injuries and even death,” he said. “To curb this scourge, the provincial government introduced the Eastern Cape Customary Male Initiation Practice Act No 5 of 2016, signed into law by Premier Phumulo Masualle in December last year.” He said the school visits would be followed by community meetings, taking place between October 24 and November 21, where the
Circumcision Government Gazette would be presented. There will then be inspections of initiation schools by the teams on November 22. Hendricks said he was pleased with the efforts being made by stakeholders to achieve a successful and incident-free season. “Our area has been relatively quiet in terms of circumcision-related injuries and we haven’t had any deaths over the years. “That doesn’t mean we can afford to leave anything to chance. We have to comply with the provisions of the law and preserve the
lives of our children,” said Hendricks. The community meetings will start at 18:00 on: ) KwaNomzamo Community Hall on October 24 ) Vusumzi Landu Hall on October 25 ) Tokyo Sexwale Stadium (Jeffreys Bay) on November 13 ) Loerie Community Hall on November 16 ) Katrien Felix Community Hall (Thornhill) on November 16 ) Dan Sandi Community Hall (Patensie) on November 17 ) Sea Vista Community Hall on November 21 ) Alec Ntantiso Hall (Weston) on November 22.

He said the first election for Ward 11 had to be postponed due to a misunderstanding about the scheduled date. The second meeting, at which a committee was elected, was nullified by the Council after an appeal was lodged by one of the residents. Hendricks said it was important that all ward committees were fully functional and were in a position to perform their tasks. The elective meeting will take place at the Newton Hall at 18:00 on October 27. Ward 11 covers the areas of Jeffreys Bay Central and C-Place.

A new ward committee is set to be elected for Ward 11 at Jeffreys Bay on October 27. Kouga Speaker Horatio Hendricks said all Ward 11 residents were encouraged to attend the election. “Ward committees are important because they represent the aspirations of various constituencies in a ward. They are also good platforms through which residents can keep us, their elected leaders, accountable,” he said.

SUIWEL EN VLEISBEESINTERRASKAMPIOEN
Buco supports local NSRI
Teler wen twee groot kompetisies CANDICE BEZUIDENHOUT ’n Bekende beesteler van Oesterbaai in die Oos-Kaap het die naweek geskiedenis gemaak toe hy die suiwel- en die vleisbees-interraskampioenskap op Agri-Expo Livestock gewen het. Andrew Masterson se Holstein-koei, Milagro Sexi 13140, is Saterdag op die plaas Sandringham buite Stellenbosch as die FNB-Suiwelkoningin gekroon. Sy swart Angus-koei Milagro Power 1324 is as die BKBVleiskoningin aangewys. Die suiwel-interraskampioenskap is beoordeel deur Herman Duvenage, senior beoordelaar van alle vleisbees- en suiwelrasse in Suid-Afrika, en twee internasionale beoordelaars, Harry Schuiling van Nederland en Neal Smith van Amerika. “Vanjaar se Livestock is die beste blootstelling wat ek nog op ’n skou in die land gekry het – ek het nog nooit soveel mense op ’n beesskou gesien nie,” sê Masterson. Dié voorsitter van die Angus-beestelersgenootskap
van Suid-Afrika en eienaar van die Milagro sê sy oorwinning is ’n eer, want die standaard in dié kompetisie is baie hoog. “Livestock bied ons ’n uitstekende bemarkingsgeleentheid om ons beste diere aan die publiek en voornemende kopers ten toon te stel,” sê hy. Johan Ehlers, uitvoerende hoof van Agri-Expo, sê dit is ’n besonderse prestasie dat een teler albei interraskampioenskappe wen. Volgens Ehlers is Agri-Expo Livestock wat deur meer as 20 telersgenootskappe ondersteun word, die afgelope vier jaar gevestig as die mees gesogte vee-ekspo in SuidAfrika. Hy sê dié landbougenootskap bied die grootste suiwelen vleisbees-interraskampioenskap van sy soort aan, met meer as 200 gehaltebeeste wat deelneem. “Dit is uitsonderlik om 11 vleisbeesrasse en drie suiwelrasse op ’n skou te hê, en is ’n be-wys dat Agri-Expo Livestock op ’n internasionale standaard is. “Ons is trots daarop dat ons vanjaar ’n rekordaantal van byna 14 000 mense op die skou ontvang het,” sê hy.
Andrew Masterson, ’n beesteler van Oesterbaai in die OosKaap, en sy Holstein koei, Milagro Sexi 13140, wat Saterdag buite Stellen bosch as die 2017 FNBSui welkoningin aangewys is. Masterson is die heel eerste beesteler wat beide die suiwel en die vleis beesinterras kampioenskap op AgriExpo Livestock gewen het.
Buco Jeffreys Bay and Humansdorp donated a skid unit to NSRI Jeffreys Bay to be used in the event of major incidents in the Kouga area. The unit will be used to fight fires, prevent the spread of fires, transfer water from any nearby source to a fire truck and to help move large volumes of water in flooding situations. “Although the NSRI’s primary focus is saving lives in the water, NSRI have in the past assisted our colleagues in emergency services during civil emergencies and natural disasters,” says Station 37 Station Commander Rieghard Janse van Rensburg.

Terugvoer aan lede van AfriForum se Jeffreysbaai-tak Jeffreysbaai se AfriForum-tak is terdeë bewus daarvan dat dit 'n reusefout sal wees om op die hulp van die regering en ander semistaatsinstellings staat te maak. Ons Jeffreysbaaigemeenskap sal in samewerking met AfriForum ons probleme self moet hanteer en oplossings deur die neem van die regte besluite en daaropvolgende aksies probeer vind. Met dit in gedagte het Jeffreysbaai se AfriForum-tak die afgelope jaar die volgende aksies onderneem: Boomplantmaand: Bome is aan die Dorp van Drome geskenk, wat dié skenking na eie goeddunke kon aanwend. AfriForum verf die dorp wit: AfriForum het in samewerking met die Oos-Kaapse departement van openbare werke 'n kontrakteur aangestel wat al die verkeerstrepe in St. Francisstraat vanaf die N2 tot by Caltex Wavelands oorgeverf het. Hierdie verkeerstrepe was byna onsigbaar en gedeeltes in die omgewing van die Fountains Mall is ook op AfriForum se onkoste oorgeverf. AfriForum toets Jeffreysbaai se water: Die water is in Mei getoets om die gehalte van die drinkwater en riooluitvloei te bepaal. Ons kon vasstel dat die drinkwater nie 'n oormaat fosfaat en nitraat bevat nie en dat bakterievlakke aan vasgestelde standaarde voldoen. Daar is egter kommer oor die water in sekere areas wat van boorgatwater gebruik maak, aangesien daar 'n bruin/swart neerslag weens die hoë yster- en mangaaninhoud daarin voorkom. SAPD en plaaslike Veiligheid: 'n Besoek is aan brigadier LeBok gebring om samesprekings te voer oor misdaad en die veiligheidsituasie in die Kouga. Hierdie besoek sal opgevolg Ontmoet die AfriForum Jeffreysbaai-tak bestuurspan: (agter van links) word. Gerrie du Bruyn, Marcell van Schalkwyk, Frikkie Sutherland, Fanus Heystek, (voor) Dries du Preez (onder-voorsitter), Dolph Botha (voorsitter) Plaaswag: Alle landbouprodusente in die Kouga-area is telefonies gekontak om die stigting van 'n plaaswag te ondersoek. Tans blyk dat asof daar nie 'n groot genoeg aanvraag vir 'n en Danie Fouche (sekretaris). plaaswag is nie, maar AfriForum sal hierdie saak monitor en optree indien nodig.
Buurtwag: Daar is geen buurtwag in Jeffreysbaai nie, maar wel in Astonbaai en Paradysstrand, hoewel Block Watch goed op dreef is. Hoofkantoor het die ongeveer 500 lede van Jeffreysbaai versoek om bestuur te kontak om weer 'n buurtwag te stig. Op hierdie stadium blyk daar nie belangstelling te wees nie, maar die tak sal behulpsaam wees as daar in die toekoms so 'n behoefte sou ontstaan. Veiligheidsberaad: Op 6 Mei is daar 'n veiligheidsberaad in Pretoria gehou waar verskeie kundiges en prominente sprekers opgetree het. Een afgevaardigde van AfriForum se Jeffreysbaai-tak het die beraad bygewoon. Besoeke aan die burgemeester en bestuur van die Kouga-raad: AfriForum is as 'n belangegroep by die Kouga Munisipaliteit geregistreer. Ons samewerking met die huidige raad is baie beter as met die vorige twee rade wat soms onderdrukte aggressie teenoor ons geopenbaar het. Ons is verder van mening dat die huidige raad gesprekvoering waardeer, dat hulle werklik aandag gee aan leemtes wat uitgewys word en voorgestelde oplossings ter harte neem. Dit is egter baie duidelik dat die huidige raad onder geweldige druk verkeer weens die nalatenskap van die vorige rade en dat dit tyd sal neem om die eens voorspoedige Kouga weer op koers te kry. Die tak se kommentaar op die begroting was soos volg: Die huidige finansiële posisie van die Kouga Munisipaliteit is ongetwyfeld die grootste uitdaging waarmee die raad gekonfronteer word. Die beskikbare fondse kan geensins die verlede se agterstand gedurende die huidige boekjaar regstel nie. Die grootste enkele uitdaging is dat salaris- en kontrakteuruitgawes nog te hoog is en inkomstebronne eenvoudig nie genoeg is om groot kapitale werke aan te pak nie. AfriForum is bewus van die groot werk wat reeds deur die raad en amptenare gedoen word. Die burgemeester het ons ook beïndruk met haar visie en dryfkrag om sake reg te stel. Die rioolprobleme by die Ocean View-nedersetting bly kommerwekkend. AfriForum het by 'n paar geleenthede met die betrokke amptenare beraadslaag om na 'n oplossing te soek, maar dit blyk 'n ingewikkelde probleem te wees. Inwoners gooi allerlei voorwerpe in die rioolstelsel wat dan alles blokkeer. Bruin/swart water: Hierdie saak is ook bespreek en die versekering is gegee dat daar aandag aan die probleem gegee word. Die langtermynoplossing is egter dat nog 'n reservoir gebou moet word, maar fondse bly 'n uitdaging. Organogram: Daar is wel 'n organogram in plek, maar die nuwe munisipale bestuurder, mnr. Du Plessis, is besig om dit te hersien om aan die nuwe raad se vereistes te voldoen. Paradysstrand se laagwaterbrug: Die aangeleentheid is indringend met die burgemeester en die uitvoerende komitee bespreek en ons moet erkenning gee aan hul pogings om deurlopend alle partye te betrek om werkbare en wetlike oplossings te vind. Die probleem bly egter omgewingsake, wat halsstarrig en eensydig die natuur wil beskerm, maar geen simpatie met die inwoners se welstand toon nie. Ons aanbeveling was dat hulle 'n regsopinie moet inwin en, indien nodig, hof toe moet gaan. Nadat die regspan betrokke geraak het, was daar 'n meer inskiklike houding van omgewingsake. Rommel: Die strooi van rommel bly 'n groot probleem – veral by informele nedersettings. AfriForum het beplan om aksies te loods om die rommel te laat optel, maar na deeglike oorweging blyk dit 'n nimmereindigende werklas te wees. Mnr. Billy Hatting het waardevolle ondervinding oor die bestuur van rommel. Hy het in samewerking met die munisipaliteit 'n nuwe konsep voorgestel om die gemeenskap betrokke te kry en AfriForum sal hierby betrokke raak. Rondloperdiere: Die saak is ook indringend bespreek, maar oplossings gaan gepaard met vele uitdagings en kostes. Ons versoek aan die Raad was om mense aan te stel wat sal toesien dat die diere ten minste van besige toegangsroetes weggehou word. Bosindringing en skoonmaak van erwe: Voorstelle is deur AfriForum gemaak en verskeie gedagtes is geopper. Die raad is versoek om net weer die gewone stelsel van waarskuwingsbriewe en opvolgende aksies te implementeer. AfriForum het onderneem om met die provinsialepaaie-afdeling in gesprek te tree oor bosindringing wat op die R102 voorkom. Verbetering en opgradering van kruisings in St. Francisweg: Die tak het betrokke geraak by die verbetering van die kruising van St. Francisweg en Koraalstraat, asook padverbreding by die kruising van St. Francisweg en Disastraat. As gevolg van die geweldige verkeersprobleme wat by die drie spesifieke kruising ondervind word, het AfriForum besluit om 'n voorlegging aan die provinsiale departement van openbare werke en die Kouga Munisipaliteit te maak. AfriForum het fondse beskikbaar gestel om gedeeltes van hierdie werke te voltooi, maar beide die departement en munisipaliteit het ingekoop in die voorstelle en gaan bydraes maak om die werk te voltooi. AfriForum het reeds 'n maatskappy aangestel om 'n verkeersimpakstudie te doen en die Departement van Openbare Werke is besig met die opmetings. Konstruksie sal vroeg in 2018 'n aanvang neem. Ons ledetal het intussen reeds die 500-kerf verbygesteek en ons vertrou dat ons beplande aksies en die aksies wat reeds onderneem is tot bevrediging van al ons lede strek. AfriForum Jeffreysbaai hou hul jaarvergadering op 24 Oktober om 18:30 by die Laerskool Jeffreysbaai.

MESSAGE OF SUPPORT: MAYOR ELZA VAN LINGEN
Early detection saves lives OCTOBER is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and PinkDrive has arrived in Kouga to offer a range of health screening services free of charge to both women and men from our communities. On behalf of the Kouga Council, I would like to thank Cennergi, the Kouga Wind Farm and Jeffreys Bay Wind Farm for making the outreach possible. Services available will include mammograms, pap smears, clinical breast examinations and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing, as well as education regarding breast, cervical, prostrate and testicular cancer. The programme started at the KwaNomzamo Clinic yesterday (18 October) and is at the Sea Vista Clinic today and Pellsrus Clinic tomorrow. I would like to encourage residents to make use of this opportunity. Early detection can be a game changer when it comes to surviving cancer. Statistics show, for example, that more than 90% of women survive breast cancer if it is
detected early enough. It is important to remember that not everyone necessarily shows symptoms; hence annual check-ups such as those on offer from PinkDrive are highly recommended. Also important should you or a loved one be diagnosed with cancer, is to make use of the support structures that are available. Cancer is not a death sentence, but it is by no means an easy journey and drawing strength and inspiration from others makes every step you take just that little bit easier. From personal experience I can attest to the many incredible individuals and organisations in Kouga who will not hesitate to take the hand of a complete stranger to lead them out of the dark despair that can so easily take hold of cancer patients and their families. I would like to thank and salute these men and women, many of whom have had close personal encounters with cancer, for all they do on a daily basis to help ease the burden of others.
Knitted knockers for a ‘breast’ cause MONIQUE BASSON KNITTED knockers. Breast beanies. Tit bits. The names may be irreverent, but the intent is the same: offer uplifting support - via bra inserts - to women after breast cancer surgery. After giving away over 100 pairs of knitted knockers to local residents, Carine White and Tracey Wild - the driving force behind the knitted knockers campaign in Jeffreys Bay - still have some knitted knockers to give away to breast cancer survivors and patients. According to White, the knitted knockers are best described as special handmade breast prostheses for wom-
en who have undergone mastectomies or other procedures to their breasts. “Unlike traditional breast prostheses that are usually expensive and uncomfortable, the knitted ones are soft, comfortable, beautiful and well placed in a regular bra,” says White. “Made from organic cotton and stuffed with merino wool, these woollen substitutes take the shape and feel of a real breast. They can be worn immediately after surgery, which women say is a huge help, mentally and physically, in returning to normal life.” Handmade by volunteers, they are given away free to women who have had mastectomies or lumpectomies. To receive a ‘Knitted Knocker’, contact Selina van Deventer at 084 513 6959 or Carine White at 082 781 1264.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month AILSA RAEDESHERWIN: ATTITUDE IS WHAT MATTERS MOST
Breast cancer survivor: ‘Don’t give into it’ MONIQUE BASSON HANKEY resident Ailsa Raede-Sherwin is a cancer survivor. But even before the cancer, she was a survivor - and she says it is all in the attitude you take. “I am still living with determination and spunk,” says the young senior burger who ran away from a retirement village in Port Elizabeth she called the funny farm. Raede-Sherwin, a former salon owner who moved to Hankey in 2005, was diagnosed with colon cancer on October 27, 1992 - only weeks after her husband, Dieter, passed away in her arms from lung cancer. Four years later, she received the shocking news that she had breast cancer. Since then, she’s been through myriads of treatments including surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. However, she made the decision that cancer is not going to become the centre of her world. “I can live with cancer, but it is not going to be my life,’ says Raede-Sherwin. It was her sense of humour and sheer determination that kept her going through the days of chemotherapy, radiation and surgery. “Attitude is everything, it can make or break you,” she says. “It is going to help you and
your family in how you cope with things.” Raede-Sherwin says once diagnosed with breast cancer, she was given the option of a mastectomy or lumpectomy as the cancer has not yet spread. Even before she could make her final decision, another cancer patient entered the room. “She lifted up her top, and said: ‘Aisla, don’t worry, I had breast cancer’. All I could see was the two bags of bird seed pinned to her vest. I nearly passed out,” she says laughingly. “That was the most traumatic of the whole ordeal.” After hearing her late husband telling her not to do anything radical, Raede-Sherwin opted for the lumpectomy. “They took a slice of my chocolate cake away.” Some 21 years after the operation, she experienced some problems with the wound, which she had fixed earlier this month. She had another scare at the beginning of the year when she discovered a lump in her left breast. After numerous tests, she received an all-clear test result this Monday. “I have been really blessed on my cancer journey. I was surrounded by loving friends who supported me every step of the way - even when Dieter got sick. I want to say especially thank you to the day and night staff in Cedar Ward 3 at St George’s Hospital in Port Eliza-

beth who recently took such great care of me, as well as to Doctor Ronel Gowar who fixed up my wound and her wonderful personal assistant. Furthermore, I want to thank Hospice - without their support I would not have been able to look after Dieter. “Thank you to everyone who prayed for and supported me on this difficult journey.” Her message to other cancer patients?
“There are three kinds of healing: spiritual, mental and physical. I was blessed with all three, but not everyone is that fortunate. You must have faith that you will be healed, but if it is not meant to be, it is not meant to be. But you cannot give in, you must be strong. Do not let death walk in before it is its time.” Today, Raede-Sherwin is happy to call herself a cancer survivor.
RIANA VAN STADEN
‘I survived breast cancer’
ANNELI YOUNG
FEARLESS . . . happy . . . and healthy . . . are the words that carried Riana van Staden through her breast cancer diagnosis and treatment. When she first felt a lump in her left breast in May 2015, alarm bells immediately went off. But with her medical aid not willing to cover the costs of the tests needed to be done, she waited a few weeks - but it did not go away. The lump only increased in size. After endless battles and excruciating weeks crawling by, the medical aid finally gave the green light for the biopsy to be done. The biopsy confirmed the news: Van Staden had breast cancer. Some 13 additional glands under her left arm were also infected. On September 10, 2015 - only a week after
being diagnosed - she was admitted for bilateral mastectomy surgery: the only viable treatment as the specific type of cancer she had, Lobular Carcinoma, could easily spread to her right breast and brain. Knowing this, the decision was not a difficult one to make. Instead of allowing the profound feeling of thinking her body was failing her, she chose to focus on prolonging her life by having her breasts removed.
Treatment Van Staden started with chemotherapy on October 13. But, despite taking her tablets religiously, routine blood tests and various injections, she only managed to complete three sessions of the scheduled 16 sessions of chemotherapy due to her white blood cell count being too low. After stopping the chemotherapy, she was

and adjusting the neckline of my clothes,” says Van Staden. “I made peace with my breastless body and I still feel good about myself.” Not feeling comfortable wearing prosthetic breasts, Van Staden, who never thought of herself as being sick, now wears knitted knockers which are best described as special handmade breast prostheses for women who have undergone mastectomies or other procedures to their breasts. What message she would like to give women about breast cancer: women need to ‘get hands on’ and check their breasts for changes regularly. When you catch this disease early, you have options, you have time to consider them and you have the best chances of being okay at the end of it.

subjected to 25 radiation treatments at 08:00 from Monday to Friday for five weeks. “It was extremely draining,” says Van Staden who was working at the time. “It left me tired and depleted.” Van Staden says she was only allowed to wash with clean water and had to dry herself by pressing on her skin with a towel. She was not allowed to use any powder or deodorant. Although the treatment catapulted her into early menopause, it did not have an impact on the intimate side of her marriage. “My husband and I were on this journey together. He supported me every step of the way,” says Van Staden. She got the all clear after an MRI-scan in October 2016. Not having the necessary funds for reconstructive surgery, Van Staden did not even consider breast reconstruction. “I accepted my situation by staying positive

SY leef so rustig op Jeffreysbaai dat selfs haar bure nie weet sy is ’n Springbok nie. Op 74 is Marienne Strydom die ene grasie en elegansie en bring sy haar tyd deur met bak en lees en die geselskap van haar dogter. Dit was nie altyd so nie, want haar loopbaan as hospitaalsuster en Springbok-veerpyltjiekampioen het haar vir baie jare in ’n warrelwind van werk en reis en kompetisies laat rondhardloop. Ná matriek by Hoërskool Brandwag in Uitenhage het sy 3½ jaar lank aan Scharly Cribb-verpleegsterskollege gestudeer en as suster gekwalifiseer met teater en algemeen as spesialisering. Sy is egter op 21 deur haar verliefde man opgeraap en het op sy versoek die elke dag se reis hospitaal toe vir haar huis verruil. Sy het dokters geassisteer en 8 jaar lank as as fabrieksuster gewerk. In 1980 het sy rustiger geraak. Terwyl die manne eendag tuis weer veerpyltjie speel, het hulle die vrouens nadergeroep om in die pret te deel. Toe sy die pyltjie in haar hand voel en begin gooi, is ’n kampioen gebore. Toe die gogga behoorlik byt, gaan sy en vier vriendinne eendag by Drostdy Park in ’n groot kompetisie deelneem en wen sy die enkelspel, en sy met die vriendinne die spantitel. Daarna wou klubs haar in hul geledere hê, maar sy en haar spelmaats het die SwissDames Veerpylklub begin. Voordele het begin inrol toe ’n klub in PE haar naderhark. Haar brandstof en ander kostes is betaal en sy het hulle beloon deur pryse en bekers in te palm. Daarvandaan was dit heelpad boontoe. In 1983 het sy, na SA-proewe, die OP-span gehaal en die beker vir die meeste honderde gewen. Sommer in 1984 was sy Oostelike Provinsie se nommer een speler en het sy uit Pretoria na Kaapstad gevlieg, waar sy, nog as lid van die O.P.-span, die geslote enkelspel gewen het. 1984 was ’n hoogtepunt, want sy het toe ook haar Springbokkleure gekry en in Londen (VK) gaan deelneem. Hierdie prestasie het sy die volgende jaar herhaal en agtereenvolgens in Hawaiï deelgeneem en in 1986 in Spanje, waar sy die vyfde plek in die wêreld losgespeel het. Die res van die jaar het haar span in die Suid-Afrika getoer, omdat visums gestop is. Hulle het as Springbokspan getoer en heeltemal skoonskip gemaak in al die provinsies. In 1987 het sy in Harare en ander Afrikalande titels gewen. In 1990 was sy weer die enkelspelkampioen.
Sy het nog tot 1992 getoer en in 1993 opgehou met speel, omdat sy bereik het wat sy wou. In die jare waarin sy deelgeneem het, was daar geen vroulike gooier wat meer 100’s en 180’s as sy kon gooi nie. Sy sê dat totale fokus, veral op haar gewrigbeweging, die geheim van haar sukses was. En dan het sy nie by drank betrokke geraak nie. Sy wou speel en dit geniet, niks anders nie Hierdie gedrewe persoonlikheid het een reël vir haarself neergelê: Haar familie het eerste gekom in ’n uiters besige loopbaan. Daarvoor het sy absolute selfbeheersing beoefen. Maar daarby het sy haarself altyd geforseer om te verbeter en kon sy maklik in haarself teleurgesteld raak as sy nie haar doelwitte bereik nie. Te midde van alles, het sy en haar man mekaar 58 jaar geken en het hulle ’n baie ge-lukkige huwelik gehad. Uit die huwelik is twee seuns en ’n dogter gebore. Deesdae is sy gelukkig tuis met haar hondjies, haar lees- en bakwerk. En haar lewensleuse? “Ek glo God,” sy met oortuiging.
Op 74 is Marienne Strydom die ene grasie en elegansie, en bring sy haar tyd deur met bak en lees en die geselskap van haar dogter. FOTO:VERSKAF

Strongest Healer
My name is Reuben, am 48 years old, I stay with 4 children, for a very long time there was no happiness in my life, even my wife left me because I couldn't support my own family. I had to look after my parents. I was the only breadwinner in our family and I was working as care giver. I struggled financially my kids needed school uniforms, my parents needed help with basic needs as they are elderly. I visited different pastors, prophets and traditional healers with no one could help me. I wasted all the money, but no results, I just kept losing the little I had. I was helpless for many years, until I read a testimony of Gabriel who was testifying the good work Prof Hope did to change his life by using Short boys to put money into his account. I made an appointment with him he explained to me all the options like money rats to put money in the house on same day, short boys to put money in your Account on same day, magic ring to win money games like gambling, casino, lotto and betting. Magic wallet to multiply your money. I chose money rats to put money in my house. He explained to me the process, I couldn't believe when I received the money on the same day. I immediately contacted him and paid him 25% and my sister chose magic ring for lotto and we are financially stable, all thanks to Prof Hope. Also helps with: bring back lost lover, family matters, bring back stolen goods, bind your property, male enlargement. Home visits AROUND Eastern Cape.

MET YSTERPERDE DEUR WOESTYN
Op die randjie van nêrens Maandag 4 September was die “groot dag”, skryf Jacques Marais. Ná maande se beplanning en rond hardloop soos afkophoenders, is hy en Peter van Kets uiteindelik by Serra Cafema, teen die grens tussen Namibië en Angola. DIT is hier waar ons Dunlop Beyond the Desert Edge-ekspedisie begin – waar ons met fat-bike fietse en viertrek Isuzu-bakkies al die pad van die Kunenerivier tot in Walvisbaai vir 1 300 km trap en veldpaadjies soek. Ek het al heelwat avonture gepak in my vyf of so dekades, maar dié woestynroete het my voor die tyd elke nou en dan snags laat wakker lê. Die onhergbergsame woestyn al teen die Skedelkus langs is nie kinderspeletjies nie en ’n mens sien maklik ’n week lank nie ’n enkele ander voertuig nie. Ná ’n deurnag tot in Windhoek vir finale inkopies, het ons die 20 uur-lange tog tot teen Angola aangepak. Agterpaadjies het ons uiteindelik tot by Serra Cafema – een van Wilderness Safaris se mees afgeleë en mooiste kampe – gebring, en vir ’n dag lank kon ons fietse en voertuie regkry vir die boendoes wat suidwaarts wag. Ons het ’n paar uur gehad om die omgewing te verken en een van die laatmiddag-bootritte te doen om almal te laat ontspan. Bielie-groot krokodille, Himba-mense wat teen die rivierbanke boer, reuse-reiers wat kurpers jag en die ruwe landskap van Angola maak dit ’n verruklike ondervinding. Ons was Maandag reeds douvoordag reg en het net ná sonop teen die steil sandduine begin uittrap (en stoot). Jou gemiddelde man op ’n fiets (dis nou ek!) sweet lelik hier, maar ek het darem gesien my mede-avonturier, Peter, swets so nou en dan ’n bietjie. In die Isuzu-bakkies met hul Grand Trekbuitebande was dit darem makliker, met die Kirk-broers wat vooruit kon verken om video te skiet. Hulle het by ’n klein Himba-stat vir ons gewag waar ons ’n blaaskans kon kry – en ook met mense van dié uitsonderlike Afrika-nasie kon gesels. Die opdraende en rooi sandduine wou net nie ophou nie en dit het ons amper vier uur geneem om die middagete-stopplek te bereik. Gelukkig het die gids van Wilderness Safaris die gebied baie goed geken en die uitsig oor

A train, farm animals, shoes, a tractor, a ball, a moment of your time . . . these are some of the simple things that could warm the hearts of children that have never received a colourful wrapped Christmas gift of their own. There is no better experience than seeing the surprise and elation on the faces of children as they open a gift and receive what they have wished for.

Nóg ’n mylpaal behaal! Peter van Kets en Jacques Marais op die grens van die Skedelkus Nasionale Park tydens die 1 200 kmfietstrap. FOTO’S:VERSKAF die Kunene tot doer in Angola het vergoed vir die kuit-krampe van die laaste klim. Dis afdraand van hier af en ek het in die bakkie gespring, terwyl ons videoman vir ’n rukkie saam met Peter getrap het. ’n Groot trop van sowat 30 bergkwaggas het vir ’n rukkie saam met die fietsryers galop – verder was daar kameelperde, springbokke en gemsbokke. Snags het ons in dorre riverlope gekampeer en om die hardekoolvure gesit en luister na die duisendmyl-stilte. Hier diep in die woestyn hoor ’n mens snags soms nie eens ’n uil of jakkals as jy in jou tent lê nie. Nou en dan ritsel daar ’n skerpioen of geitjie verby, maar andersins is dit net jy en jou gedagtes. En dit was dan ook juis ons idee met Beyond the Desert Edge. Dit is nie net ’n avontuur of langasem-trap nie. Dit gaan meer oor wat ’n mens hier op die randjie van nêrens kan ontdek. Hier is horingadders en duisend jaar-oue

be collecting gifts for over 300 pupils from Quagga Primary School in Patensie and Nooitgedacht Primary School in Kareedouw. The Kouga Express relies on the generosity of the community to satisfy the demand for presents. Without the support of local residents this appeal will fail. Each learner wrote his or her wish onto a special Christmas “wish card”, with his name and age. Wishes range from a tea set to a teddy bear and from a school bag to a doll. Some little boy is dreaming of his first ever tractor with farm animals, while another girl cannot wait to own beautiful hair accessories. One little boy is dreaming about a Jeep and another about a red bicycle. There are even practical wishes like stationery for school. These cards are displayed on the Christmas tree in the forecourt at Pick n Pay in Fountains Mall. Residents are able to select the wish card or cards that appeal to them and buy the gifts written on the cards. Residents can either wrap the presents themselves, or have them wrapped by the Kouga Express team. The following information must be clearly marked on the present: ) Name of school ) Name and surname of pupil ) Grade of pupil. Each card is unique to a deserving child. If a card is taken and not returned, that specific pupil could miss out on a present for Christmas. Presents can be dropped off at either the Kouga Express office at 75 Da Gama Road in Jeffreys Bay or at Pick n Pay. All the presents must be returned by November 15. The presents will be handed out to the pupils at a special Christmas party at their respective schools. For information, contact Monique Basson at 042 293 2973 or 082 219 9169.

Hier is ook eindelose landskappe en brose ekostelsels, waar jy of jou voertuig letsels kan laat vir dekades - dus moet ’n mens lig trap. En die ruimte en stilte beteken dat jy heelwat tyd bestee en na binne kyk, om te sien waar en hoe jy in hierdie eindelose planeet van ons pas. Dit is deels ook hoekom die ondersteuning vir Beyond the Desert Edge – gelewer deur borge soos Dunlop, Spar, Isuzu, Wilderness Safaris, Hi-Tec, Giant, HoldFast, Spot-Africa en Drip-Drop – vir ons so belangrik is. Hul bystand beteken dat ons iets kan teruggee deur geld in te samel vir Children in the Wilderness, ’n liefdadigheidsorganisasie wat help om kinders in wildernisgebiede oor die natuur op te voed. ) Meer inligting: www.petervankets.com | www.jacquesmarais.co.za

op 11 November in die Elandsriviervallei, sowat 30km van Rocklands af gehou. Avontuursoekers met viertrek-voertuie word genooi om die uitdagende roete saam te kom aanpak. Volgens Donovan Whitehead, wat saam met sy vrou Sunelle dié 4x4 uitdaging en familiedag organiseer, word voertuie in groepe ingedeel om dit makliker te maak om die roete sonder enige onnodige oponthoud te voltooi. Elke groep het iemand wat die voortou vat. Daar is ook kategorie-pryse te wen. Die 4x4 roete gaan deur fynbosveld, verby asemrowende kranse en rotsagtige berg-oorhange en ook deur natuurlike bosse waar ou geelhoutbome gesien kan word. Daar is ook ‘n standhoudende fontein op The Meadows waar water gebottel word. Besoekers kan van dié gebottelde vars-water uit die fontein koop. Inskrywings om op hierdie viertrekroete te gaan is is R300 per voertuig en bestuurder wat deelneem en R50 per passasier. Daar sal stalletjies wees met verskillende kosse, ‘n biertent (waar heuningkarrie geniet kan word), plaasprodukte, heuning, handwerk, kaas en vermaak vir die kleinspan. The Meadows het twee gastehuise en ‘n kampterrein vir gaste wat wil oorbly. Vir meer inligting skakel Donovan by 082 458 9699 of Sunelle by 082 458 9580.
