Burgemeester help ‘red’ bejaarde se lewe

‘N

FAMILIE van Humansdorp kan nie uitgepraat raak oor hoe Kouga se burgemeester Saterdagaand hul bejaarde moeder se lewe gered het nie.

“Dit was net na sewe-uur die aand gewees,” vertel Felix se seun, Rudolf Jansen. “My suster het dadelik die munisipaliteit se noodnommer geskakel en hulle stuur toe ‘n elektrisiën om ondersoek in te stel.”

Die elektrisiën kon egter nie help nie, omdat die fout op een van die binneste elektriese drade was, waarvoor huiseienaars self verantwoordelik is.

“My suster het nie geweet wat om te doen nie. Sy het niks geld by haar gehad nie en daar was niemand wat daardie tyd van die aand en boonop nog op ‘n naweek – die draad sou kon vervang of regmaak nie,” sê Jansen. “Ons het geen ander heenkome gehad nie en ek stel toe voor dat sy die burgemeester direk kontak.”

Kouga-burgemeester Daphne Kettledas het die familie se kommer ter harte geneem en die munisipaliteit se elektriese bestuurder gekontak. Binne ‘n japtrap was die elektrisiën terug by die huis om die draad te herstel sodat Felix se medikasie nie tot niet sou gaan nie.

“Dit beteken baie vir ons as ‘n familie dat die burgemeester op ‘n Saterdagaand uit haar pad uit gegaan het om ons moeder te help. Ons kan nie genoeg vir haar ‘dankie’ sê nie,” sê Jansen.

Sophie Felix (85), van Kruisfontein Proper, is ‘n diabeet wat elke dag twee inspuitings moet kry om haar suikervlakke te help beheer. Haar toestand is so ernstig dat selfs net een dag se oorslaan van die inspuitings haar lewe in gedrang sou bring.

Die medikasie word maklik deur hitte geaffekteer en moet dus ten alle tye in die yskas gehou word. Groot was die familie se paniek op Saterdagaand toe die krag na Felix en haar dogter, Dalene Kiewiets, se huis afslaan.

Sy het niks geld by haar gehad nie en daar was niemand wat daardie tyd van die aand ­ en boonop nog op ‘n naweek – die draad sou kon vervang of regmaak nie.

KOUGA EXPRESS | THURSDAY 7 APRIL 2016

Local pets and owners reunite through Facebook MONIQUE BASSON PET-OWNERS in Kouga can now make use of a Facebook page aimed at reuniting lost pets with their owners.

The page, J Bay Lost Pets, was started by animal-lover Tyron van Tonder from All Africa Backpackers in Jeffreys Bay in March this year and already boasts close to 50 friends.

According to Tyron, he realised the need for this type of service after viewing multiple posts all over Facebook about owners looking for their lost pets, and even those looking for forever homes for abandoned pets.

They work closely with the JBay Animal Rescue Sanctuary.

“The idea was to create one platform where residents can post messages about lost or found pets,” says Tyron. “A lot of times people see posts of a lost pet, but once they want to go back to that post after, for instance, seeing a pet that looked similar to that one on the photo, they have no idea where they have seen the post. By having one platform, going back to old or new posts will be a whole lot easier.

“Facebook was an easy choice as anyone could access it and make posts anytime. It is also great to receiving feedback when animals are found and taken back home, as well as to see just how many people care.”

According to Tyron, they have had many success stories and some heartbreaking ones.

“We share everyone’s joy and heartbreak and know how painful it is when a beloved pet is missing.”

He asks residents to please use discretion when picking up “lost” animals. “Sometimes - if not most of the times - they are not lost, but just having a jol and know their way back home.”

Tyron urges people who have found or lost an animal, to report it as soon as possible by posting on the J Bay Lost Pets Facebook Page.

The post should contain a photo of the animal, as much detail as to where the animal was found or lost, person’s name and contact number.

This page is only for people who want to advertise lost and found animals, as well as animals needing a home. They do not advertise animals that are for sale.

Tyron van Tonder from All Africa Backpackers in Jeffreys Bay recently started the J Bay Lost Pets Facebook Page in a bid to help relocate lost pets with their owners. Africa and Tsotsi are two rescue animals, who suffered horribly before finding their forever home at All Africa Backpackers.

Halt the rise: beat the burden of diabetes Today is globally celebrated as World Health Day. This year the focus

is on the Heart and Stroke Foundation SA (HSFSA) which joins the World Health Organisation to “Halt the rise - Beat Diabetes”.

The burden of diabetes In SA it is estimated that somewhere between 1 and 2 in every 10 adults have diabetes, with a much higher prevalence of 1 in every 4 adults in the ages of 60 and above. This paints a concerning picture, as the rate of diabetes is growing and poses a big challenge to governments, health services, communities and individuals, leading not only to poor health, disability and premature death, but also impacting on health care costs and loss of productivity.

Diabetes and heart health With diabetes, prolonged high blood sugar levels can severely compromise every organ system in the body, causing nerve damage, kidney failure, blindness, impotence and infections that can lead to amputa-

tions. However, heart disease and strokes are actually the biggest killers in those with diabetes. Diabetes increases the risk for heart disease directly by high glucose levels damaging the blood vessels, making them more prone to build up and stiffness.

The narrowing and eventual blockage of blood vessels can lead to heart attacks and strokes.

Five steps to prevent diabetes .If in doubt, check! The best way to find out if you have diabetes is to have your blood sugar (glucose) level measured. .Eat healthy - A healthy diet with plenty of vegetables and fruits, and lower amounts of added sugars and unhealthy fats can help prevent type-2 diabetes. .Be moderately active for at least 30 minutes on most days of the week. .Don’t smoke! Smoking and diabetes together are dangerous. .Follow medical advice.

Confirm address during next voter registration weekend VOTERS are urged to confirm their address during the next voter registration weekend on April 9 and 10.

According to the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC), about twothirds of registered voters currently have partial, or no address details on the roll.

The IEC has postponed all by-elections in the country as it battles to provide a voters’ roll that has people’s correct addresses.

It took the decision as it was still not clear whether the absence of voters’ addresses would render the roll, and results of any by-elections, invalid, spokesperson Kate Bapela said.

Among those by-elections affected by the postponement were those scheduled for Wednesday, April 6. The move followed an Electoral Court ruling on February 23 postponing by-elections in Tlokwe that had been scheduled for the following day.

This followed a Constitutional Court ruling last year that by-elections in the embattled municipality were not free and fair, and had to be re-run.

Independent candidates competing in Tlokwe argued that the IEC had not complied with the Constitutional Court ruling.

Also postponed were by-elections scheduled for KwaZulu-Natal, Limpopo, North West, and the Western Cape.

The IEC approached the Constitutional Court to appeal the Electoral Court’s ruling. Bapela said they would review the postponement of byelections once the Constitutional Court had provided clarity on the matter.

The IEC’s decision would also be informed by this year’s municipal elections which, in terms of the Constitution, have to be held between May 18 and August 16.

BE HAPPY, YES U CAN HE IS BACK AFTER 5 YEARS OF SEPARATION

My husband left me and went to London with another woman for 5 years! I tried to bring him back, I visited priests and healers for help but failed.

Ligan looked through the mirror and assured me that he’ll call within 4 days, and I’ll pick him at the airport. He really phoned and he’s return after 5 years!

He accurately read my fortune (for R200 conMaria and Jacob sultation fee) & told me all my problems without (happily in love again) me mentioning a word. He even used a mirror to show me real-faces of people who were trying to pull me down.

LIGAN performed special-prayers for me, cleansed me from badluck & also gave me powerful lovecrystals plus a special-ring to fix my financial problems. Four (4) days after prayers my husband was back home, asking for forgiveness. I am very happy, we recently reconciled!

Like me, all clients I have been referring to him always got GUARANTEED RESULTS in a few days.

GLA Trolley Pro ­ Let’s move it! Move it!

MONIQUE BASSON

FILLED with a need for speed?

Start your inventions; the infamous Global Leadership Academy (GLA) Trolley Pro returns! Filled with half-genius-half-ratchet trolley designs, the competition involves Kouga businesses and learners racing through the parking area at Fountains Mall in Jeffreys Bay in a unique non-motorised racing event.

Returning on Saturday, April 23, the GLA Trolley Pro is an event that combines a dash of Kouga ingenuity, some dubious engineering and free-spirited design. Designs from the 2015 event included everything from a cow, a hot air balloon, a computer, a train, and even a restaurant table.

With a challenging racetrack, the competition will see a total of 12 teams competing in the race.

Eleven spots have already been grabbed up at a cost of R5 000 each - leaving only one spot open. This entry will go to the highest bidder.

To be in the running for this sought-after spot, send an email with your contact details and the prize you are willing to pay to event organiser Stefan Kleyn at stefan@gcex.org before noon on April 11.

According to Stefan Kleyn, event organiser, this is the year in which GLA moves over to their new school campus near Fountains Mall. “To usher in this new era for GLA, we are going all out with this year’s greatest Trolley Pro to date.

“We are nearing the final phase of construction, and all funds raised during this event will be channelled towards the project as we push towards completion of phase 1.”

The GLA Trolley Pro is presented in conjunction with Fountains Mall and Kouga Express.

The names of the participating companies will be announced in the Kouga Express of April 14, while the completed trollies will be exhibited at Fountains Mall from April 18 to 23. The public will have the opportunity to vote for their favourite trolley via a SMS competition line. The class of the winning trolley will receive a R2 000 voucher from Fountains Mall.

The results, as well as photos of the event, will be published in the Kouga Express of April 28.

For more information, contact Stefan Kleyn from GLA at 042 293 3053 or send an email to stefan@gcex.org.

New Chairman for EP Round Table MONIQUE BASSON THE Eastern Province Round Table has seen its youngest ever chairman take office.

Former Nico Malan learner, Wayne Stevenson (30) from Humansdorp, is the youngest person to take over the helm at the Eastern Province Round Table for 2016/ 2017. He is also the first member from the Jeffreys Bay/ Humansdorp 252 Round Table to do so in the 30 years since their inauguration in 1986.

Being the youngest is not new to him. He joined the Jeffreys Bay/ Humansdorp Round Table in 2006, and was soon inducted as their Chairman for three years in a row, before joining the Eastern Province Council.

Being in the forefront of changing lives, Stevenson is honoured to take on the role and he is already working on plans to enrich the world around him.

“Fun, Family and Friendship - this is what Round Table stands for, and it is exactly this what I want to strive for this year. Tablers do not get paid for what they do - it is an inner passion and desire to help others, while having fun with projects with the help of your family and establish lifelong friendships,” says Stevenson who works as a Sales Executive at Algoa Nissan in Humansdorp.

“As Chairman of the Eastern Province, I would like to spread the word of what Round Table means, what we stand for and our passion towards our community and people, and to give hope to those in need of it.”

He would furthermore strive towards growing membership numbers.

Projects for the Kouga region include their annual Boere Rally, a Golf Day, a “Skuur” Dance, Winter Knights and Bandanna Day. Stevenson’s vision is to live out their motto: Adopt, Adapt and Improve. “This is exactly what Round Table does for you as an individual. It takes you out of your comfort zone, broadens your perspective and teaches you valuable life lessons. One such lesson is that individuals standing together can make a difference, no matter who or where you are.”

According to Stevenson, he will continue to be a member of Round Table until he is 40 - the age at which you retire out of Round Table.

“I cannot fathom myself not being part of this wonderful organisation and the warm feeling you get when you help someone in need or help make someone’s dream come true, whether it is a school project, a wheelchair or food hampers.” . Round Table is a non-political, non-racial association of young men between the ages of 18 and 40, embracing representatives of nearly every profession and occupation. Its objectives are the encouragement of high ethical standards, the promotion of social interaction and fellowship among young professional and business men, as well as the quickening of individual interest in everything affecting the public welfare.

There are currently 17 Round Tables in the Eastern Cape with a total of 108 members.

Milo ry fiets saam beste vriend MONIQUE BASSON KAALVOETKLONG en gevlekte vriend.

Dié unieke ‘onpaar’ van Jeffreysbaai ry elke dag saam fiets. Die seun trap en die hond leun op die stuurstang.

Morné Botha (10) en sy 5-jarige Jack Russell, Milo, het verlede jaar vir die eerste keer saam begin fietsry.

Morné, ’n leerder van die Laerskool Jeffreysbaai, het uit die bloute besluit om Milo saam op sy fiets-eskapades te neem - sedertdien is hulle onafskeidbaar. Hy hoef skaars sy fiets op te tel, of Milo is al stertswaaiend by - hondgereed vir sy daaglikse plesierrit.

Volgens Morné het hy Milo op sy fiets getel en gekyk of hy sal stilsit. “Daar sit hy toe, ter-

wyl ek ry, en kyk na die wêreld sonder om een keer af te val.”

Milo anker hom op die blou fiets met sy agterpote op die skuins dwarsbalk en sy voorpote gemaklik oor die stuurstang - jy kan hom amper hoor lag van lekkerkry as die wind sy ore so laat wapper. Op en af . . . op en af in die straat. Ek is oortuig daarvan hy sit breëbek en glimlag.

Die fietspaar ry elke dag in die straat voor hul huis in Beefwoodsingel, Wavecrest.

Morné en Milo het al vele motoriste en inwoners se nek laat draai, maar die seun en sy vierpotige vriend is onbewus van die opskudding in die kleine wat hulle onder sommige inwoners veroorsaak. Solank hy net kaalvoet sy fiets se speke kan laat sing en sy beste vriend by hom het, is hy dolgelukkig.

Ná 50 jaar steeds dolgelukkig MONIQUE BASSON NIE eers dié skooldogter se wakende broers kon hom keer om sy liefde openlik te verklaar nie. Hy het met die eerste oogopslag sy hart op haar verloor - dié mooi meisie met die nóg mooier maniere.

Jan en Emmie Olwage van Jeffreysbaai was op 2 April 50 jaar getroud en is nog net so dolgelukkig soos tóé.

Vyftig jaar en drie kinders - twee dogters en een seun - en sewe kleinkinders later, glo Jan en Emmie dat hulle absoluut niks omtrent hul huwelik sou wou verander nie.

Hulle woon sedert 1995 in Jeffreysbaai.

Volgens Emmie het Jan die heel eerste dag wat hulle saam na die inry-teater gegaan het, gesê hy het haar lief en gaan met haar trou.

“Ek was nog op skool en my broers moes saam ons gaan om my op te pas,” vertel Emmie. “Hy het geduldig gewag totdat ek matriek skryf en toe besluit hy wag nie ’n dag langer om my te vra om te trou nie. Ons is April, die volgende jaar getroud.

“Almal het gedink daar is ’n broodjie in die oond, maar ons eersteling is eers 15 maande later gebore.”

Volgens Emmie glo sy nie daar is ’n spesifieke resep vir ’n gelukkige huwelik nie. “We-

dersydse liefde, respek en groot genade van ons Hemelse Vader is nodig. Jong getroudes moet weet dat daar daagliks aan verhoudings gewerk moet word en dat dit voorwaar nie maklik is nie. Twee mense met verskillende persoonlikhede, voorkeure, grille en giere het baie geduld nodig om van die huwelik ’n sukses te maak.”

Emmie vertel daar is geen groot planne in die nabye toekoms nie - hulle is tans tevrede om vir eers rustig te wees en om ou herinneringe van ver reise van die verlede te herroep.

“Ons is waarlik dankbaar vir goeie gesondheid. Daar was vriende en familie wat ons lewens verryk het en hope onverdiende genade,” sê Emmie.

“Ons sien uit na nog vyftig jaar.”

Emmie en Jan Olwage van Jeffreysbaai het op 2 April hul 50ste huweliksherdenking gevier.

Hancke Estates music to Godfrey’s ears Within hours of the Kouga Express hitting the streets in Kouga last week Thursday, Hancke Estates in Jeffreys Bay pledged to buy the 32­year­old Godfrey Mahote (also known as Twopak) his very own radio. This follows after the Kouga Express reported on Godfrey that can now hear after six years of complete silence upon receiving a modern hearing aid from a stranger. They furthermore donated a 40kg bag of dog food to the Jbay Animal Rescue Sanctuary, where Godfrey works as a volunteer every Thursday.

“His story touched our hearts.

An instrument such as a radio is extremely small in comparison to the goodwill that Twopak has generated over an extended period of time, and we salute him, says Sonia Cronje. With Godfrey (second left) are Piet Smith, Cronje, Deon Goosen and Ted Groenewald (owner) from Hancke Estates.

Humansdorp museum groet veteraan voorsitter VAL is nie ’n opsie nie en dié nuwe horlosie se wyser moet ten minste vir nog vyf jaar aan haar pols tik . . . tik . . . tik . . .

Só sê veteraan-voorsitter Anita van der Merwe (85), wat na ’n kleurryke loopbaan van nagenoeg drie dekades by die Humansdorp Museum nou die tuig neergelê het.

Sy voel dié merkwaardige museum wat jaloers waak oor die “skatte” van ouma- en oupagrootjies - ’n onlosmaaklike deel van die omgewing se geskiedenis - het nuwe en jonger bloed nodig om dié juweel se voortbestaan en vooruitgang te verseker.

Volgens Van der Merwe, vorm die gebruik van moderne tegnologie ’n groot deel van die oorlewing van ’n museum in ’n veranderende en uitdagende omgewing iets wat sy eerder aan die jonger geslag oorlaat.

Van der Merwe is reeds sedert 1988 by die museum betrokke - as raadslid van daardie tyd het dit deel van haar portefeulje uitgemaak. Hoewel sy die amp as raadslid agtergelaat het, het sy nooit haar rug op die museum gedraai nie. Sy was deurentyd aktief betrokke by die doen en late van die museum, en was die afgelope nege jaar voorsitter van die Humansdorp Museumvereniging.

Sy mag dalk die bestuur aan Theo Vosloo oorhandig het, maar sy sal steeds betrokke bly - dié museum met al sy oudhede is in haar bloed.

Die merkwaardige vrou gaan beslis nie ydel sit nie. Sy glo daaraan dat jy sonder entoesiasme dood is. Van der Merwe is aktief betrokke by kindersorg en die bewaring van erfenis. Verder bestuur sy haar eie boetiek in Humansdorp, en verhuring van eiendomme hou haar op haar tone.

Na die aankoop van ’n nuwe horlosie met ’n vyf-jaar waarborg, spot sy graag: “Ek wil waarde vir my geld kry en nóg vyf jaar leef.” Volgens haar is daar ’n elfde gebod vir ouer mense: Jy mag nie val nie!

Van der Merwe het ’n groot passie vir gesond lewe.

Haar ouma en ma is onderskeidelik op die ouderdom van 63 en 73 oorlede, terwyl haar pa op 85 oorlede is. Deur ’n gesonde leefstyl met min verfynde suiker en koolhidrate wil sy graag haar vroulike-stamboom se geskiedenis verbeter.

Van der Merwe, wat Duits, Xhosa, Engels en Afrikaans kan praat, het op 21-jarige ouderdom ’n BSc-graad in Huishoudkunde aan die Universiteit van Pretoria behaal. ’n Jaar later het sy en haar man na Humansdorp verhuis, waar hy in 1953 ’n tandheelkundige praktyk begin het. Hulle spog met vyf kinders en 14 kleinkinders.

Volgens Van der Merwe, moet jy die Here erken om gemoedsrus en stabiliteit in die lewe te handhaaf, want sonder Sy wysheid, genade en seëninge sal ’n persoon nie die rus en vrede ontvang waarna almal smag nie.

ALET JOUBERT VEERTIG jaar gelede was hy só op sy senuwees oor sy eerste werksdag, dat hy langs die pad naar geword het en sy pa eers moes stilhou.

Christo Kilian het egter sy senuwees oorkom en verlede Woensdag ná 40 jaar diens by Die Burger Oos-Kaap, PE Express en Kouga Express uitgetree.

Killian was maar 17 toe hy as handsetter by die destydse middagblad Oosterlig sy loopbaan begin het. “Elke lettertjie is daardie jare met die hand gepak,” vertel Killan (56).

Van koerant “pak” het die tegnologie gevorder na koerant “plak”, waar die teks en advertensies met lasertegnologie uitgesny is vir drukwerk.

Killian het ook die volgende stap in tegnologie beleef toe die koerant van film af direk op die drukplate gebrand is.

“En toe kom ‘computer to plate’-tegnologie wat weer ’n nuwe aanpassing was.”

Hy onthou ook die aanpassing om van die Oosterlig na Die Burger oor te gaan.

“Ons het gedink ons word oorgevat deur die Kaap en dit het met heelwat personeelvermindering gepaard gegaan.”

Maar hy onthou sy lang loopbaan as “oorwegend goeie jare”. Sy raad aan jong mense wat die koerantwese wil betree is om “soveel as moontlik te leer van die nuwe tegnologie en die nuwe uitdagings wat voorlê”.

Killian het nou die tuig neergelê as grafiese ontwerper: koerante, maar by die huis wag “heerlike werk” saam met sy vrou, Wilma, om hul twee seuns, Waldo (17) en Jaco (8), groot te maak. Hy spot dat hy spesifiek vir hulle kort name gegee het sodat hy “kort en kragtig kan sê: ‘Jaco, Waldo, bly stil!’ ” Maar dis duidelik goedige spot, want die rustige silwerkopman met die sagte bruin oë se lewensfilosofie het hy in sy afskeidstoespraak weergegee toe hy personeel aangemoedig het om mekaar “raak te leef en

nie raak te trap nie” in hul oorblywende werkjare.

Christo Killian.

KOUGA EXPRESS | THURSDAY 7 APRIL 2016

Oud­leerlinge onthou hul skool IN die 46 jaar sedert die laaste nege leerders deur die klaskamerdeure van die Laerskool Groothoek in Melon, Loerie gestap het, het baie dinge verander en is die onthou nie meer so goed nie.

Een ding wat hulle nié vergeet het nie, is die rustige en kalm atmosfeer van die klein plaasskool waar hulle eens skoolgegaan het.

Oud-leerders van die voormalige Laerskool Groothoek het verlede maand van heinde en verre gekom om dié skool se reünie in die stoor op Pierre Moolman se plaas by te woon.

Johan van der Watt het al die pad van die VSA gekom, terwyl Danwilh Ingram die pad van Tzaneen na Loerie aangepak het en Mike Lamont van Meyerton gekom het. Bennie Lamont is van Oudtshoorn, Mona van der Westhuizen van Pretoria, Jansen Saayman van Somerset-Oos, Nico Smith van Baviaans en Sandra Kleingeld van George. Oud-leerders het ook gekom van Port Elizabeth, Uitenhage en Despatch.

Volgens oud-leerder Theo Vosloo, was die reünie ’n besonderse geleentheid. “Salomie van der Watt, Babetjie Kleingeld, Lenie de Koning en Cathleen Ingram - vier moeders van oud-leerders - het die geleentheid bygewoon, asook twee oud-leerders bo die ouderdom van 80 - Mona van der Westhuizen (gebore Moolman) en Miems de Kok (gebore De Koning).

“Tydens ’n besoek aan die ou skooltjie - nou

vervalle - het ons weer eens die soet en bitter van daardie tyd beleef, . . . die nostalgie en diepe dankbaarheid vir die voorreg om deel van dié skool en omgewing se nederige verlede te kan wees.

“Daar was ook tyd vir ’n fotosessie met drie van die graad 1-leerders van 1996 wat na 50 jaar weer saam op kamera vasgevang is.

Die naweeklange reünie is met ’n erediens in die NG Kerk Loerie afgesluit.

Die skool het sy ontstaan in 1914 gehad. Die eerste sinkgeboutjie het in Die Hoek, die vlakte by Melon, gestaan en het vandaar die naam, Groothoek, gekry, vertel Vosloo.

“Selfs nadat die eerste skoolgebou gedurende die vloed van 1916 weggespoel is en die permanente baksteen-gebou in 1938 opgerig is, het die naam behoue gebly.”

Volgens Vosloo, het dié skool sedert 1932 met twee onderwysers gespog, maar gedurende die laat 1960s het dit weer ’n eenmanskool met nege leerders geword.

Groothoek is aan die einde van 1970 gesluit weens ’n gebrek aan voldoende leerder-getalle en geld.

Tog vertel oud-leerlinge graag staaltjies van toegewyde onderwysers, min geriewe en natuurlik kattekwaad wat aangevang is.

Volgens Vosloo was Groothoek ’n tipiese plaasskool van daardie jare.

“Ek sal altyd onthou dat die skool baie ongekunsteld was, iewat spartaans, met slegs die minimum geriewe. Die gebrek aan elektrisiteit, lopende water, behoorlike riool en ablu-

sie geriewe, ’n biblioteek, en ’n moderne leeromgewing en fasiliteite vir sport, het nie ’n demper geplaas op die die ontwikkeling van leerders wat hul eerste skooljare daar deurgebring het nie.

“Miskien is daar ’n paar lesse te leer vir die hedendaagse leerder.”

Vosloo onthou dat die onderwysers toegewyd was en altyd net hul beste gegee het - al was dit nie aldag maklik nie.

‘Hondjie­dood’ lok gesprek uit NA die artikel Hondjie slagoffer van roekelose bestuurder in die Kouga Express op Maart 31, en Onderwyser ploeg deur mure in Wavecrest op 24 Maart, het kommentaar van die publiek ingestroom.

Die mense het die volgende te sê gehad: Johan Scholtz (74) van Astonbaai sê daar is skynbaar ’n kultuur van wetteloosheid onder baie bestuurders in Jeffreysbaai.

Stopstrate skyn nie te bestaan nie, spoed is aan die orde van die dag. Hy bestuur sedert 1959 en het nog nooit ’n ongeluk veroorsaak of ’n dier raakgery nie. Hy ry op sy ouderdom nog motorfiets en sy wagwoord is: “Kyk waar jy ry, maar veral: Ry waar jy kyk!”

Dylan Pietersen (21) van PE en Lourika de Klerk (21) van Jeffreysbaai: Port Elizabeth en Jeffreysbaai verskil nie veel van mekaar wat wetteloosheid betref nie. In Jeffreysbaai kan sirkels net sowel verwyder word, so min weet talle bestuurders van die reëls. Hoewel daar soms diere op die strate is, kan hulle, vanweë hul gedissiplineerde spoed, altyd stop. Dylan reken mense gaan by ander motors verby wanneer die geleentheid hom voordoen – afgesien van watter strepe ook al op die pad geverf is.

daar mense wat roekeloos bestuur. Selfs in Apiesdraai, waar deesdae glo spoedkameras is, jaag motoriste na en van Tokyo Sexwale asof mens en dier hulle nie pla nie. Hy meen mense en diere is in gevaar en vra veral dat spoedhobbels in Pelikaansingel aangebring moet word.

Johnny van Wyk, nutsman in Jeffreysbaai, ry fiets vanaf Kruisfontein. Hy sê hy weet nie eers waar om te begin om te beskryf hoe mal party mense ry nie. Hy is onlangs deur ‘n trok katswink gery toe hy by ‘n oorgang loop. “Ek loop nog so toe word ek in die hospitaal wakker”. Die saak is nog hang-ende.

“Die mense overtake op draaie en bulte en met voetgangers wat van die pad af moet val om te leef. Dis malligheid vir ons wat so oop ry”, sê Johnny.

Tania Henning, ‘n kompleksbewoner met fisiese beperkings, meen daar is padverbruikers wat ordentlik en bedagsaam is, maar ander ry soos padvarke. “Al is dit jou beurt om te ry, jaag hulle só, dat jy behoorlik moet rem aanslaan.”

Dirk du Plooy (69) sê dit lyk asof verkeerbeheer in Jeffreysbaai nie bestaan nie. In Pelikaansingel, ’n binnepad in Astonbaai, is

Hazel Nakas, ‘n huishoudster, wat in Jefrreysbaai tot by die taxi-punte voetslaan, sê daar is onverskillige bestuurders. “Mens moet maar oplet voor jy ‘n straat oorsteek, en nie net aanneem iemand gaan by die voetoorgang stop nie, maar nie almal nie.”

Johan Scholtz.

Dylan Pietersen (21) en Lourika de Klerk (21).

‘n Beskaafde motoris lig haar mening: “Een van die grootste skrikwekkings vir ons wat wel oplet en versigtig ry, is die kinders en Saterdag-besopenes wat blindelings oor die pad tussen Jeffreysbaai en Astonbaai hardloop of slinger. Om van die plaasdiere daar nie eens te praat nie. Dit word net erger.”

Fred Kieck: Die artikel Hondjie slagoffer van roekelose bestuurder, is sekerlik die swakste artikel wat nog ooit in die Kouga Express verskyn het. Dit is deurdrenk met veralgemening, moedswilligheid en bevooroordeeldheid.

Die ‘joernalis’ wat navorsing gedoen het oor hierdie onaangename insident, het glad nie homself goed van sy taak gekwyt nie ...

Die eienaar van ‘n hond is altyd verantwoordelik vir die welstand en veiligheid van daardie dier. Hierdie eienaar is 100% verantwoordelik vir die hond wat doodgery is; nie die bestuurder van die voertuig nie, maar die eienaar. ‘n Baie swak artikel, en stel my persoonlik baie teleur in Kouga Express.

Facebook: Claire West: So jammer vir julle verlies.

Hoop daai wetter word vasgevang! Sulke wreedheid tussen normale mense is afgryslik.

Dirk du Plooy (69).

Natassja Ungerer Barnard: Toe ek die artikel en foto sien, toe dog ek: jis is dit regtig nodig vir die direkte beskrywings en fotos?

Maar dit is ... Gister spitstyd oppad poskantoor toe, het ek drie honde in Da Gamaweg gesien.

Asseblief mense kyk na julle diere. Dit maak my so seer. Wat as hierdie my hond was? Nes ’n ongeluk vinnig gebeur, net so vinnig gebeur dit dat jou hond uitglip. Maar los alles net daar en dan. Ry die strate plat.

Gebruik jou buurtwag, whatsapp en kry jou hond.

Hierdie keer was dit ’n hond, maar volgende keer is dit ’n 3-jarige wat gou na die bure toe hardloop.

Die drywers ... Jesus slaap nie.

Thea van Rensburg: Streets are dangerous for animals and not a play area for children.

Although speed is a huge problem, it cannot without proof be said that someone was speeding. If an animal runs into the road and there’s an approaching car, do you avoid the animal and rather go for a head-on collision?

I agree that you stop and see if you can help.

Die laaste woord: Uiteraard is daar wetgehoorsame, bedagsame bestuurders – en mens veralgemeen nie net of stereotipeer nie – maar ‘n taamlike aantal boeliebestuurders, jaagduiwels en wetsoortreders versondig ons paaie.

Johnny van Wyk.

JBay Wind Farm funds literacy programme THE Jeffreys Bay Wind Farm is funding a literacy programme aimed at helping local primary school learners to achieve competency at Grade 4 international reading and spelling levels.

“Research shows that learners who are literate at Grade 4 level are 80% more likely to complete matric and be prepared for tertiary education and later employment, which ultimately supports our goals of economic upliftment,” explains Marion Green-Thompson, Economic Development Director for Globeleq South Africa.

Spell It’s goal is “Learn-Ready” - a literacy programme, which has impacted on 350 000 primary school children since 2010.

As with many other educational programmes that the Wind Farm funds, it is implemented through its partnerships with the National Department of Basic Education and the various provincial departments.

“This programme is ideally focused on Grade 4 basic literacy, in line with international research that has shown this to be a critical transition period, when learners move from the ‘learning to read’ phase into the ‘reading to learn’ phase,” adds GreenThompson.

The aim is for Grade 4 learners to have whole word recognition vocabulary of between 5 000 and 10 000 words, and to be able to read at a speed of 123 words per minute.

The programme consists of three components, namely: The Vocabulary Assistance

Programme (VAP); Teacher Training and Capacity Building; and Spelling Bee Competitions. “The VAP is a step-by-step, fun series of card games, age-appropriate stories and interactive activities that assist learners to build on their existing knowledge while brushing up on the fundamentals of phonetics, spelling rules and word structure,” says Green-Thompson.

The content is CAPS-aligned and gives educators exciting activities to do with their learners in the classroom while covering the required content to get learners spelling at their Grade level.

The support of Spell It’s programme fits into the Wind Farm’s commitment and support of local education as part of its socio-economic development initiatives. This includes an extensive education audit in the region, an ongoing early childhood development bursary programme, funding of early childhood development classroom equipment, training and provision of teaching aids, and an ongoing foundation phase reading coach programme.

The Jeffreys Bay Wind Farm’s funding, to the value of R195 000, supports the programme at schools within a 20km to 50km radius of the Wind Farm. These schools include: Chigwell Primary School, Gamtoosvalley Primary School, Graslaagte Primary School, Kruisfontein Primary School, Masisebenze Primary School, Mzingisi Primary School, Patensie Primary School, Quagga Primary School, St Patrick’s EC Primary School, Vukani Primary School, Weston Primary School and Sea

Vista Primary School.

An initial induction session has been held with district officials, principals, educators and reading coaches. Furthermore, local facilitator-coaches will be appointed to serve schools in the programme. In each area a teacher training and ongoing mentoring component have also been introduced, which will involve train-

ing for intermediate and foundation phase educators, as well as reading coaches.

The final component of the programme will see local and district level Spelling Bees held in each area. Working closely with District and Provincial DBE officials, these Spelling Bees will be linked to the ongoing national Spelling Bee process.

Learners at St Patrick’s Primary School in Humansdorp form part of the Jeffreys Bay Wind Farm’s literacy programme aimed at helping local primary school learners to achieve competency at Grade 4 international reading and spelling levels.

ADVERTORIAL

Be part of the IRONMAN record attempt THE Standard Bank IRONMAN® African Championship is set to deliver one of the most interesting races in the event’s 12-year history through a combination of a strong professional field a new race route and a spectator record attempt. The annual triathlon showpiece takes place on Sunday 10 April 2016 at Hobie Beach.

Featuring a new spectator-friendly course, the event will take on a unique dimension with its campaign to bring as many spectators as possible to Hobie Beach in a one-of-a-kind record attempt. The “Every IRONMAN® needs an IRONFan” promotion hopes to see a record crowd of 100 000 spectators attend the event on race day to make up the biggest IRONFan crowd ever seen in Africa. Spectators are requested to enter the race area through The Boardwalk complex’s two main entrances (Second Avenue and Hobie Beach) where possible to be counted via the complex’s footfall technology. The event media team and live broadcasting team will then also shoot aerial images of the finish line to be broadcast across the world via web streaming, shortly before the winners are welcomed

in at approximately 14:45.

Spectators showing their support at the event will be treated to a stellar professional field, which includes South African trio, James Cunnama, Matt Trautman and local Port Elizabeth resident, Kyle Buckingham.

The professional women’s field will be the strongest on record in South Africa, featuring defending IRONMAN African Champion, Jodie Swallow. Fellow Brits Susie Cheetham and Lucy Gossage are strong contenders, both aiming for a podium finish.

With a record 616 international athletes representing 68 countries – the most countries ever represented at the IRONMAN African Championship in Nelson Mandela Bay, the race will be streamed live across the world with viewers from nearly 60 countries expected to watch the broadcast.

PE is known for its legendary spectator support who play an integral role in creating the atmosphere this race in known for. Race day is a true testament to the fact that showing support is most definitely a family affair.

The IRONMAN Village will have food and drinks on sale and is right where the finish line festivities take place.

800 Years of loyal service at Volkswagen

V

olkswagen South Africa recently honoured 20 of its employees with over 40 years of service.

Twelve of the 20 long serving employees received their 40-year service awards from the Chairman and Managing Director of VWSA, Thomas Schaefer, during the annual Employee Recognition gala event, Naledi Awards.

With a cumulative 800 years of service to the company, the 20 employees have worked in different divisions of the Uitenhage factory with the majority coming from Production and Logistics.

“I was still a young boy when these special employees started working at Volkswagen back in 1975.

“For me, their loyalty and service to the Uitenhage factory are truly incredible and highly appreciated by the Board of Management,” said Schaefer.

Back in 1975, VWSA was only 24-years-old and manufactured the Beetle, T2 Kombi, as well as the Passat, which was in its second year of production and had already passed the 10 000 mark.

Chairman and MD of VWSA, Thomas Schaefer (centre) during the annual Employee Recognition gala event, Naledi Awards. With him are the 20 long­ service awards recipients.

PHOTO:SUPPLIED Its cousin, the Audi 80, which was the first Audi to be produced in Uitenhage, was launched in South Africa that year.

1975 was also the year that VWSA manufactured its 500 000th vehicle, which included the 100 000th Transporter or Volksie Bus.

Arnold Niemand, one of the 40-year long service award recipients, commented; “Back in our days when you joined a company you joined it for life. Hence 40 years later, I am still proudly working for Volkswagen.”

“One can amass a wealth of skills and expert-

ise in 40 years and at VWSA we encourage our long serving employees to share their knowledge with the younger generation of employees. We are proud to have colleagues with this level of loyalty and dedication to our company,” concluded Schaefer.

My Names is Charniel Johanes from Western Cape. Firstly I want to thank KING LWASA for what he done for me in my life and for all success I have achieved because of him Financially.

There are many doctors out there who claim they can change people’s life financially while they cannot do it and I’m saying this out of what I have been going through trying to change my life. Before I met the real one KING LWANGA, I lost a lot of money until last year 24th October when I read about KING LWANGA who helped a lot of people by using SHORT Boys to put money into their account in 2hrs and he only take 20% after the success of work. Am happy with my family and we got our own business running. He also got RATS to bring money in your house, MAGIC RING to win money games, Lost lover, Family Matters and Divorce all problems solved in same day

Klassieke motors tot model vliegtuig en doedelsak MONIQUE BASSON DIE wiele is reeds aan die rol en die ratte geolie vir die Jeffreysbaai Klassieke Motorklub se vyfde jaarlikse motorskou, Keiths Piekniek, wat op 9 April by die Supertubes-piekniekarea in Da Gamaweg plaasvind.

Tientalle uitstallers en motorklubs is deel van dié opwindende skou met motors as die fokuspunt - klassieke motors, veteraan motors, sowel as meer moderne- en sportmotors. ’n Juweel in die kleine is die ligblou 1947 Davdon, wat met ’n spierwit metaal-afslaandak spog. Dié motor is met die hand in Sandton, Johannesburg gebou.

Buiten motors waarvan elke petrolkop droom, word vele nuwighede vanjaar aangebied wat ’n besoek beslis die moeite werd maak.

Vlerke vorm nou ook deel van die gewilde motorskou. Die JBay Radio Flyers gaan verskeie van hul modelvliegtuie aan besoekers ten toon stel. ’n Hoogtepunt is Riaan Nel se skaalmodel van die Hawker Hartbees. Dié

vliegtuig is op die Hawker Audax geskoei, met wysigings om aan Suid-Afrikaanse vereistes vir naby-ondersteuning vliegtuie te voldoen.

Die eerste vier Hartbees-vliegtuie het op 28 Junie 1935 hul eerste vlug onderneem. Daarna is nog 65 gebou. ’n Totaal van 53 van dié vliegtuie is tydens die Tweede Wêreldoorlog ontplooi.

Nóg ’n spesiale en onvergeetlike toevoeging tot vanjaar se motorskou, is die Algoa Caledonian Pipe Band wat die strate met die klanke van hul Skotse doedelsakke gaan vul.

Dié motorskou beloof puik gehalte om alle verwagtinge in die Kouga te oortref. Keiths Piekniek begin om 09:30 vir 10:00 en eindig om 15:00.

Toegang is gratis en braaivleisvure sal voorsien word. Bring ’n heerlike piekniekmandjie en kampstoele, en geniet ’n dag in die buitelug omring deur spogmotors van weleer.

Plaaslike inwoner Johnny Vee sal deurentyd vir musiek sorg.

Dates set for JBU Supertrial THE most prestigious invite-only event in the country, the JBU Supertrial presented

by RVCA, is set to return to Supertubes this year.

The winner of the Supertrial gets an immediate slot into the main event of the World Surf League’s JBay Open Championship Tour contest, to be held in July this year.

This year will see 20 surfers invited, with the prerequisite that the surfers have a good track record at surfing Supers. The JBU has been working closely with a few knowledgeable people to select these top 20 surfers from accross the world.

The first surfer on the list is the u.16 Boys

winner of the recent Future Legends Coaching Series held in Durban over the last few months - Calvin Goor.

“I’m so stoked to be the first surfer invited into the Supertrial,” says an elated Calvin after the Future Legends prizegiving on the weekend.

“It has always been a dream of mine to surf Supers with just a few guys out, and to get a slot into the Supertrial is amazing in itself. I’m amped for the event and am going to continue training just as recently learned during the South African Surfing Legends.”

The next four surfers to be announced are the top four from last year, Slade Prestwich

(DBN), Mikey February (CT), Ryan Payne (CT) and Sean Payne (St Francis).

Third place finisher last year and former event champion, Ryan Payne, was also excited to hear of his immediate inclusion. “The JBU Supertrial is the one event I look forward to the most on the South African surfing calendar,” says Payne.

“What else do you look for in an event?

Some 20 of the best surfers at arguably one of the best right-hand point-breaks in the world, a waiting period during a swell-hungry month, local expertise calling the event shots, only four guys in the line up and the event winner getting a slot into the JBay Open? Are you kidding? I want to win this

event one more time.”

The waiting period for the JBU Supertrial is June 1 to 12, with one full day needed to surf the event to completion. .The JBU Supertrial forms part of the JBay Winterfest, the sporting and music festival that will take place in Jeffreys Bay from July 6 to 17.

The anchor event of the festival is the JBay Open of Surfing, which brings the world’s best surfers to town, Other events include the Winter MusicFest, Oakley X-Over Challlenge, JBay Mountain Bike Open, X-Trail Run, Kite Festival and Skins Fishing Competition.

Cycling vs cars - it’s a two-way street Cycling is an increasing popular sport with many cyclists training on public roads. With the increase in cyclists on the roads comes an increased risk of cyclists also being hit by a vehicle.

The Pedal Power Association runs campaigns striving to focus attention on a safe passing distance between vehicles and cyclists.

“Part of this campaign means that cyclists need to know how and where they can ride

their bicycles. It also strives to focus attention on a safe passing distance between vehicles and cyclists,” said Liz Heydra, Safe Cycling Campaign Manager of the Pedal Power Association.

“Rather than asking where we can ride – what about those roads that cyclists are not permitted to cycle on? These are either freeways or areas where cycling prohibited signs are displayed. You can ride on any other road, where it makes sense to do so safely!”

So, what happens if you get hit by a vehicle when you are cycling on a road where you are not supposed to be? . Your chances of surviving are slim and, at best, you will probably be severely injured. . You are committing a traffic offence and you could be charged. . Your insurances may not cover you or your bicycle.

“We ask that motorists respect us cyclists

and the laws. But as cyclists we need to do the same. Only by riding responsibly where we are allowed to can we expect other road users to respect us.

“Respect the laws, respect other road users.

It’s a two-way street. Live to enjoy the rides,” said Heydra. )Read more about the Pedal Power Association and their Safe Cycling and other campaigns on www.pedalpower.org.za.
