Besorgde inwoners se bevinding

Vertroue in polisie kwyn

Yaël Malgas

In tye van nood en wanneer ’n misdryf gepleeg word, sal Stellenbossers eerder private sekuriteit as die polisie ontbied.

Dit is van die bevindings van ’n groep besorgde inwoners wat streef om statistieke oor misdaad in te win. Die groep het met inwoners van onder meer Onderpapegaaiberg, Jamestown, Jonkershoek asook die dorpsgebied gesels. Volgens die bevindings voel inwoners oorwegend misdaad in die Stellenbosch-gebied het toegeneem.

Daarom was brig. Sandile Sonjani, bevelvoerder van die Stellenbosch-polisie, se pleidooi vir polisiegemeenskapsamewerking by Dinsdag (29 Oktober) se gemeenskapspolisiëringsforum-verkiesing nie verbasend nie.

“Stellenbosch is die afgelope weke baie in die nuus – en nie vir goeie dinge nie. My hoop is daarom dat hierdie nuwe gemeenskapspolisiëringsforum (GPF) sal help om ’n nuwe weg te baan vir misdaadbekamping.”

Só het Sonjani aan die nuut verkose

GPF-bestuur wat deur die rolspelers verkies is, gesê. Cloetesville, wat Idasvallei insluit, het Saterdag (26 Oktober) sy nuwe GPFbestuur vir die volgende vier jaar verkies. Die Cloetesville-polisie se bevelvoerder, lt.kol. Monique Fortuin, het ’n kort oorsig oor misdaad gegee. Sy het verduidelik kontak-misdrywe –meestal moord en poging tot moord – is in die meeste gevalle bendeverwant. ’n Fokus van die plaaslike polisie is om die veiligheid van matrikulante gedurende die nasionale eindeksamen te verseker.

Terselfdertyd word vir die feesseisoen beplan en Fortuin meen daar is ’n jaarlikse verskynsel wat aangepak moet word. “Dit gebeur baie keer dat beskuldigdes in bendeverwante sake hierdie tyd van die jaar vrygelaat word.

“Dit het natuurlik ’n invloed op die misdaad in die feestyd en ons [as die polisie] kyk hierna,” het sy verduidelik. Daar is ook goeie nuus van die Cloetesville-polisiekantoor wat onlangs 11 nuwe konstabels ryker geword het.

The annual Garden Town Stellenbosch parade of colour and flowers blossomed in the town on Tuesday (29 October). Stellenbosch locals like the actor Denver Vraagom (pictured) and visitors to the town, took to the streets for the annual parade. Garden tours, screenings of flowerrelated films and an extravaganza of flowers in the Stellenbosch Town Hall are just some of the Garden Town Stellenbosch highlights this year.

In die verkiesing in die Idasvalleibiblioteek, wat deur Nontsikelelo Maseko, ’n veldwerker van die Departement van Polisietoesig en Gemeenskapsveiligheid, behartig is, is André van der Westhuizen in sy afwesigheid as nuwe voorsitter verkies.

Volgens Bettie Nieuwoudt, die nuwe ondervoorsitter, het die vorige forum ’n goeie grondslag gelê om op voort te bou. Haar pleidooi aan die gemeenskap was egter om meer betrokke te raak by misdaadvoorkoming en om die GPF, en sodoende die polisie, se hand te versterk.

“Daar is ’n tekort aan polisiehulpbronne. Dit is niks nuuts nie en dit is ook nie ’n verskoning nie.

“Niks gaan verander indien ons as die gemeenskap dit nie verander nie,” meen Nieuwoudt.

In Stellenbosch het André Pelser, wat nou aan die stuur van Stellenbosch se GPF is, dieselfde sentiment gedeel.

“Die enigste manier om misdaad werklik hok te slaan, is vir die gemeenskap om aan misdaadbekamping deel te neem,” verduidelik Pelser.

Hy was die afgelope ses maande ook aan die stuur van die tussentydse GPFforum nadat die vorige struktuur grootliks tot niet gegaan het.

Monitering, onmiddellike kommunikasie en ’n gekoördineerde reaksie is wat die doeltreffendste sal wees om misdaad hok te slaan, meen Pelser.

Sonjani sê hy sien uit na die bedryfsplanne wat die GPF ter tafel sal lê.

“Politiek is by die venster uit. Ons praat slegs van gemeenskapsdiens en niks anders nie.

“Daar is baie vrae oor die afgelope tyd gerig, maar geen enkele persoon alleen het al die antwoorde nie,” meen Sonjani.

Alleged CIT robber arrested six months after the crime

Several months after suspects tried to rob a Fidelity Cash Solutions vehicle in Stellenbosch, a suspect has been nabbed in connection with the crime.

A multi-disciplinary team comprising the Hawks, Crime Intelligence, Stellenbosch Visible Policing members and Stellenbosch detectives arrested Mandla Jack (42) on charges of robbery with aggravating circumstances (cashin-transit robbery) when they executed a warrant on Sunday (27 October).

On Tuesday 4 April Fidelity Cash Solutions members were collecting cash at the Total service station in Stellenbosch. The crewman went inside the store to collect the cash. While exiting, he was approached by unknown men, one of whom pointed a gun at him, from behind.

The suspects took the crewman’s service pistol and 10 rounds of ammunition. He was further ordered to handover the cash safe. At that stage the contents of the Cross Pavement Carrier box was already deposited into the drop safe of the armoured vehicle, so the box was empty.

The suspects then fled the crime scene in a white Volkswagen Polo, which was apparently fitted with false

number plates.

Investigation by the Hawks’ national priority violent crime team led to Jack being positively linked to the crime and his subsequent arrest.

He appeared in the Stellenbosch Magistrates’ Court on Monday 28 October) and the matter was postponed to Thursday 7 November for further bail-related information.

The accused is remanded in custody.

Trompoppies: Van gruis tot glorie

Yaël Malgas

Die trompoppies van Pieter

Langeveldt Primêr wat in 1992 as die provinsiale kampioen gekroon is, het Saterdag (26 Oktober) weer byeengekom en sommer hul destydse skoolhoof se verjaarsdag ook gevier.

Destyds was dié groep die skool se eerste (en tot dusver sy enigste) trompoppiespan wat die nasionale kampioenskap, toe by Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria aangebied, gehaal het. Hulle het met silwer weggestap.

Dertig jaar later, in 2022, het die vroue besluit om ’n reünie te hou en sedertdien kom hulle jaarliks byeen om te kuier en terug te dink – saam met hul oud-onderwysers en hul gewese afrigter, Fiona van Kerwel.

Van Kerwel kon egter nie vanjaar se reünie bywoon nie.

Die voormalige skoolhoof Henry Cyster onthou die moeite wat gedoen is om die meisies in Pretoria te kry, baie goed. “Hulle was altyd die trots van die skool,” sê Cyster.

“Ongelukkig, om trompoppies te hê moet jy van die beste en duurste uitrustings hê, maar vir ons was dit nie ’n probleem nie want ons het ’n baie aangename mens as ons borg gehad. Wyle mnr. De Canha het die trompoppies uit en uit gedra danksy sy borgskap.

“Die uitkyk was as een kind van genoegsame gehalte was om deel te neem, dan moes almal gaan. Hulle was daardie tyd 45 tot 50 lede en moes alles nuut kry. Dit was ’n bietjie bo ons vuurmaakplek, maar ons het mnr. De Canha gehad wat alles gedek het. Dr. Danie Craven het ook ’n bydrae

gelewer en met sy hulp het die Stellenbosse trompoppies danksy die Blou Bulle slaapplek gehad.”

Die meisies het hul afdeling in Pretoria gewen en is as die besgeklede span aangewys. Die meisies het ná hul vertoning partytjie gehou en hoor toe in Cloetesville word ook feesgevier.

“Ons is laat weet hoe die mense hul vertoning waardeer het en hoe trots hulle op die kinders was. Toe ons terugkom, was die hele Langstraat vol mense – van die winkel tot onder in Smartie Town. Die mense het die kinders uit trots ingewag,” onthou Cyster.

Volgens Nazli Cariem en Evelyn Machalie was vanjaar se bymekaarkoms nog meer spesiaal omdat die groep ook Cyster se 80ste verjaarsdag (van vroeër

vanjaar) gevier het.

“Ek sien almal een keer ’n jaar. Hier en daar loop sommige van ons mekaar raak, maar min van ons woon nog in Stellenbosch. Die opgewondenheid gaan daaroor om mekaar en veral ons oudonderwysers te sien,” sê Machalie.

Die groep geniet dit om saam herinneringe te deel en onthou goed hoe hulle die underdogs van die kompetisie was. Die skool het nie ’n veld gehad nie en die meisies moes op gruis kniel en oefen.

Cariem vertel baie kere is die meisies huil-huil huis toe, maar het die volgende dag weer kom oefen.

“Destyds was dit net die wit skole wat aan die kompetisie deelgeneem het, maar ons het die kompetisie gehaal. Ons weet nie waar alles vandaan gekom

het nie, maar die skool het baie hard gewerk. Toe het ons die eerste plek by die provinsiale kompetisie gewen – dit was awesome. Ons was tweede in die presidentsbeker. Dit was ’n fenomenale jaar vir ons.”

Die 1992-span sê hulle is trots om deel van hul alma mater se geskiedenis te wees.

‘Skytram’ opponent speaks in Colombia

Jana Scheepers

Talks about the proposed Franschhoek cable car or “skytram” have been making the rounds once again, this time after an opponent of the project travelled to Colombia to make his voice globally.

Nick Reyneke, head of communications at the Baviaans Growth Initiative (BGI), is currently attending the United Nations Biodiversity Conference (COP 16) in Cali, Colombia. Reyneke, who represents BGI, aims to address the importance of conserving South Africa’s biodiversity.

“Unsustainable proposed projects such as the Franschhoek Skytram, which will damage the fragile Cape Winelands Biosphere, remind us of the urgent need for policy changes and stronger support for nature-based solutions.

“These projects take from nature without giving back, risking the destruction of ecosystems that are part of the Cape Floral Kingdom – a unique and irreplaceable biodiversity hotspot,” Reyneke wrote on his LinkedIn profile as an introduction to the key points he would discuss during the COP summit.

On the “Stop the

Franschhoek Skytram”

Facebook group, Reyneke also posted that the skytram project “threatens to turn Franschhoek into a Disneyland detached from its agricultural and multicultural heritage”.

Reyneke could not be reached telephonically.

The skytram is proposed to start at Haute Cabrière and follow a 1 km cable line up the valley to the Mount Rochelle Nature Reserve.

The lower station at Haute Cabrière will include the existing offerings as well as new proposed walkways around a dam, a new deli, ablutions and parking, while the upper station at Mont Rochelle Nature Reserve will include wine tasting, a restaurant, souvenir shop, paragliding launching area, walkways and existing hiking routes.

Other concerns regarding the proposed skytram project that have been reiterated by opposers over the course of the public participation process since February, include mass tourism and the capacity of Franschhoek’s power grid to carry the cable car, the increased risk of fires and the lack of socio-economic benefits for locals.

According to a Netwerk24, Stellenbosch municipal

spokesperson Stuart Grobbelaar confirmed the municipality has “given permission to the developers to submit an application to get environmental approval from the [national] Department of Forestry, Fisheries and Environment (DFFE)”.

According to Grobbelaar, the permission is necessary as part of the proposed project is located on municipal land.

“It is important to clarify that the municipality’s consent at this stage does not mean the council’s approval of the proposed project,” Grobbelaar told Netwerk24

“This consent is a procedural requirement in accordance with legislative mandates, allowing the environmental assessment process to proceed.

“The municipality will not consider any further development applications until the environmental impact study has been formally accepted by the department.”

The article further elaborated that Doug Jeffery Environment Consultants had confirmed that the project is still in the preapplication process.

“Consultation with the community is still ongoing with no formal application submitted to the DFFE,” the article stated.

Merecia Smith, owner of Wine Analytical Services (WASLab) at Spier Wine Farm, won the award for excellence in entrepreneurship in Category 3 at the recent Good Hope FM Warrior Women Awards. The award celebrates a woman who has shown outstanding entrepreneurial spirit, innovation, and business acumen, making a significant impact in this industry.

Smith started her journey as a general worker at the historic farm in 1998, working her way through the ranks as laboratory assistant, supervisor and eventually lab manager in 2018. In 2019, she became the first person of colour to start a wine lab in South Africa. WASLab is currently ranked third best in the country, as per last year’s South African Wine Laboratories Association competition.

Sprucing in full force

Stellenbosch Municipality is gearing-up for a busy grasscutting season.

This runs throughout the year, with new schedules drawn up every two months, depending on factors such as weather, the growth of grass and complaints received from residents.

“With the fast growth of grass, our teams are diligently working across all public areas, parks and sidewalks, adhering to a schedule that rotates every six weeks during the warmer months,” said municipal spokesperson Stuart Grobbelaar.

“Residents can be assured that every area will be visited and maintained. However, it’s important to note that some routes fall under the jurisdiction of the Cape Winelands District Municipality,

which is responsible for maintaining grass along provincial routes.

“Their teams are also actively working throughout the broader district.

“Please be aware that this schedule does not include grass cutting and maintenance for public cemeteries, riverbank areas or the vibrant traffic circles on Bird Street, Merriman Street and the traffic islands along the R44, as these areas are maintained on a separate schedule,” Grobbelaar added.

The grass-cutting schedule of Stellenbosch Municipality for the month of November can be found online at www.stellenbosch.gov.za. The December schedule will be shared in due course.

KWDM-sessies vra insette

Die Kaapse Wynlanddistriksmunisipaliteit (KWDM) se BurgemeesterMaandae-sessies, wat deel van die organisasie se openbaredeelnameproses is, is afgehandel. Die sessies is in September en Oktober in elk van die plaaslike munisipaliteite gehou, insluitend Stellenbosch. Dit het ’n platform vir openlike en robuuste gesprekke met geregistreerde ondernemings, nie-regeringsorganisasies en gemeenskapsorganisasies gebied.

Elke sessie is goed bygewoon en verskeie aktuele kwessies het na vore gekom. Deelnemers het belangstelling getoon in aspekte soos hoe om as verskaffers van die KWDM te registreer, hoe om finansiering vir hul ondernemings en organisasies te bekom en hoe om munisipale gesondheidsdienste-sertifisering vir verskillende fasiliteite te versoek. Verder is verskeie gemeenskaps-, maatskaplike, ekonomiese en gesondheidsveiligheidskwessies aan die distriksmunisipaliteit geopper.

Deelnemers aan die sessies kon direk met die lede gesels – die uitvoerende burgemeester, raadsheer (dr.) Elna von Schlicht, haar portefeuljelede en amptenare van die departemente van voorsieningskanaalbestuur, brandweerdienste, rampbestuur, munisipale gesondheidsdienste, plaaslike ekonomiese ontwikkeling, toerisme, en landelike en maatskaplike ontwikkeling.

Burgemeester-Maandae het ook ’n geleentheid geskep vir die gemeenskap om met amptenare van die provinsialeregeringsdepartemente, soos gesondheid en welstand, gemeenskap en

veiligheid, kultuursake en sport, en ekonomiese ontwikkeling en toerisme te skakel.

“Openbare deelname is een van die hoekstene van demokrasie,” het Von Schlicht gesê. “Hierdie persoonlike interaksies verseker dat die KWDM dienste lewer wat tot voordeel van die mense van ons distrik is.”

Dié wat die sessies gemis het, het steeds ’n geleentheid om ’n bydrae te lewer deur bekommernisse en insette oor die distriksmunisipaliteit se konsepbegroting vir die boekjaar 2025’26 per e-pos te stuur na idp@capewinelands.gov.za. Openbare deelname duur tot einde Februarie 2025.

Insette word oorweeg vir die begroting wat aan verskeie projekte toegeken word. Vervolgens, in Maart / April 2025, sal die konsepbegroting ’n verdere openbaredeelnameproses ondergaan om te verseker dat daar voldoen word aan die behoeftes wat tydens die aanvanklike proses deur gemeenskapsverteenwoordigers beklemtoon is.

Gedurende hierdie tydperk samel die Geïntegreerde Ontwikkelingsplan (GOP) se span bykomende openbare insette en oorwegings in.

Innovating for common good

Three locals looking to change the world for good, in line with their ideas, have made it to the finals of the 2024 Ideas for Change Challenge.

Stellenbosch Network, in partnership with Ranyaka, SCAN, Stellenbosch University (SU) LaunchLab, and the SU Department of Science & Innovation’s Regional Innovation Support Programme (RISP), launched the challenge, which focuses on tackling pressing social issues affecting the Stellenbosch community.

The three finalists of the annual challenge are Tumelo Mokoena, Chiedza Vushe and Lyke van Wyk.

. SafeGuard Stellies by Tumelo Mokoena

As a SU engineering student, Mokoena is passionate about using his skills to tackle crime. Motivated by personal experience, he aims to engage the engineering faculty in developing drones as part of a community safety effort.

The whole system works by pressing the bracelet or app button, which sends an alert with GPS location to campus security and local authorities.

tactics, and exposes known fraudsters.

Users can report scams, share experiences and access a database of known scammers, including recycled photos and impersonated profiles. Artificial Intelligence (AI) would be used to analyse scam patterns and provide real-time assessments to help users avoid fraud.

Initially focused on accommodation scams, the platform could expand to cover other online crimes like stolen goods in buy-and-sell groups. Users could report stolen items, helping create a safer marketplace.

. Minibus Mat(i)e: Stellenbosch Public Transport, Done Easy! by Luke van Wyk

Accessing minibus taxis in Stellenbosch has been difficult as a result of their informal nature, lack of branding and limited route information. This led to an increase in private cars.

The app prompts users to provide details of the incident, though this is optional. SafeGuard Stellies aims to deploy drones equipped with cameras, providing real-time video feeds to assess the situation.

The drones track perpetrators and record evidence, aiding in criminal apprehension. According to Mokoena SafeGuard Stellies aims to improve safety and reduce crime by enabling swift, technology-enhanced responses to emergencies.

. ScamAlert by Chiedza Vushe

While searching for accommodation Vushe encountered multiple scammers on online platforms, nearly losing thousands in deposit money.

This highlighted the widespread issue of online fraud.

Her idea is to develop a platform that helps identify scammers, educates the public about scamming

Van Wyk, an SU alumnus with a background in civil engineering, proposes route branding and a mobile app for route and fare information will improve minibus taxi accessibility without altering core operations. By using route numbers, static maps and new technologies, it aims to enhance useability.

Minibus taxis will be assigned route numbers displayed via inexpensive magnetic stickers, making it easier for commuters to identify the correct taxi.

Advanced features such as smartfare collection and real-time tracking will be introduced, encouraging a shift from private cars to minibus taxis. The app will also integrate with other transport modes, such as buses and trains, providing commuters with accurate, real-time information. ) Vote for the top idea by visiting the Stellenbosch Network website.

Inwoners van Stellenbosch het ook hul insette gelewer toe die KWDM se Burgemeester-Maandae-sessies in die Eikestad ’n draai gemaak het.

Klinieke wysig diens

Die provinsiale departement gesondheid en welstand is op ’n missie om planne in te stel om pasiënte in Stellenbosch en omliggende dorpe selfs beter te ondersteun.

Die departement is voortdurend op soek na geleenthede om dienste te verbeter en hulpbronne so doeltreffend as moontlik te gebruik. Met hierdie doel word die gemeenskap se aandag op aanpassings aan dienste in die Cloetesville- en Groot Drakenstein-omgewings gevestig.

Cloetesville

Die Aan Het Pad-kliniek en Cloetesvillegemeenskapsdagsentrum dien dié gebied.

Die fasiliteite is destyds deur verskillende rolspelers gevestig, maar sedertdien streef die departement om beter gebruik te maak van die vaardighede van die bestaande personeel en om dienslewering by elk van hierdie fasiliteite te verbeter.

Die dienste wat by die Aan Het Pad-kliniek gelewer word, is nou gefokus op ondersteuning aan swanger vroue, immunisering en ontwurming van babas, weeg en meet van babas, gesinsbeplanning, papsmere en ondersteuning aan pasiënte met kroniese toestande wat reeds aan die departement bekend is (slegs per afspraak).

Die Cloetesvillegemeenskapsdagsentrum sal steeds ’n omvattende pakket dienste lewer. Hier kan mense

die kliniek met of sonder ’n afspraak besoek as jy skielik siek word, as jy gesinsbeplanning nodig het, as jy uitdagings het met die bestuur van jou kroniese toestand, of indien jy hierheen verwys word.

In sommige gevalle sal jy aanvanklik by die Cloetesvillegemeenskapsdagsentrum gehelp word en sal jou opvolgafspraak by die Aan Het Pad-kliniek geskeduleer word.

Die departement se bestuurder in die Stellenbosch-omgewing, dr. Natasha Blanckenberg, sê dat die span reeds ’n geruime tyd beplan hoe pasiëntsorg in hierdie omgewing meer doeltreffend kan wees.

“Almal sal steeds toegang hê tot die dienste waarmee hulle bekend is, maar afhangende van die diens wat jy benodig, sal jy na Aan Het Pad of Cloetesville toe moet gaan,” sê sy.

“Ons besef dat dit vir sommige mense ongerieflik kan wees om ’n kort afstand verder te reis, maar ons weet dat ons met die nuwe manier waarop ons dienste groepeer, beter gebruik van ons personeel se vernuf maak. Uiteindelik sal die vloei van pasiënte beter wees en sal dit vir pasiënte meer aangenaam wees.”

Groot Drakenstein

In die Groot Drakenstein-area maak die departement gebruik van mobiele klinieke wat basiese gesondheidsdienste lewer.

Die departement vergroot nou die Groot Drakenstein- mobiele kliniek se dienste deur die toevoeging van ’n satelliet-

kliniek in Pniël.

“Ons het met behulp van ander rolspelers die geleentheid gesien om dienste soos immunisering en kroniese sorg uit die gebou wat voorheen Pniël se poskantoor was, te kan lewer,” sê sr. Margrieta Muller, die assistent-bestuurder van primêre gesondheid in Stellenbosch.

“Mobiele klinieke is ingerig om dienste wat jou gesondheid beskerm, so na as moontlik aan jou te bring, maar dit is ’n kompakte eenheid. ’n Gebou bied meer gerief.”

Muller bedank die Stellenbosch-munisipaliteit vir die gebruik van die gebou, asook sy vennoot, Right to Care.

Mobiele en satelliet-klinieke is verlengstukke van klinieke en bied dienste volgens ’n vasgestelde skedule.

Voorkomende gesondheidsdienste sluit in die immunisering van jonger kinders om siektes te voorkom en hulle te help groei en ontwikkel, voorbehoedmiddels vir vroue, soos onder meer die pil en ’n inplanting.

Dienste aan kroniese pasiënte sluit in waarnemings, soos die neem van jou bloeddruk en die uitgee van medikasie.

) Kontak die Pniël-satelliet-kliniek by 021 837 0560 (Maandae, Woensdae en Vrydae van 07:30 tot 13:00; openbare vakansiedae uitgesluit).

) Kontak die Groot Drakensteinmobiele kliniek by 021 885 2504 op dieselfde tye.

Wow bemagtig vroue

Vroue en hul waarde is vandeesmaand by die Wow (Women of Worth)liefdadigheidsgeselligheid gevier. Die Wow-groep het Saterdag 12 Oktober hul derde liefdadigheidsgeselligheid by Die Khaya by die Kruiskerk in Stellenbosch aangebied. Wow stel haar ten doel om vroue wat ondersteunende rolle in die plaaslike gemeenskap vervul, te bemagtig met vaardighede wat hulle op hul beurt weer in hul eie gemeenskappe kan gebruik. Elk van die vroue het met die intrapslag ’n geskenkpak danksy die Wow-organiseerders ontvang.

By hierdie geleentheid is 10 vroue uitgenooi en ná ’n gepaste opening en inleiding tot die dag oor die belangrikheid van vroue se rol in die samelewing, is die gaste ook gemaan om nie hulself af te skeep nie. Dit was die boodskap van die opvoedkundige sielkundige Maryke Duvenhage, wat met die vroue oor hul

Bonita September het die vroue die basiese vaardighede van gel-manikuur-en-pedikuur geleer. Hulle het elkeen hulle eie naelmasjientjies en ’n beginnerstel ontvang.

Daarby het Morné Potgieter, ’n finansiële beplanner, die vroue ’n paar sake-beginsels geleer om dit makliker te maak om ’n inkomste te verdien.

Met ’n gesonde inspuiting vir hul selfvertroue was die vroue oorgehaal om huis toe te gaan en ook daar ’n verskil te maak.

Die Wow-inisiatief wat deur Alida Potgieter, Olivia van Rooyen en Sunet Robbertse van stapel gestuur is, het onlangs 10 vroue na ’n dag van bederf en bemagtiging genooi.

Don’t delay with a stroke!

“Age is just a number. Your health is what matters.”

This is the wisdom the 27year-old Collin Brunsdon of the Stellenbosch area shared as World Stroke Day was commemorated on Tuesday (29 October).

The first time he learnt about a stroke was when he experienced it in June.

“My fiancé and I were talking. She said I started mumbling. When I got up I felt something was not right and I fell,” Brunsdon recalled.

“I knew nothing about strokes. This was a very steep learning curve! Things changed so quickly. I went from being very independent to having to ask everyone to help me do things. It has been very hard.”

Stroke is a leading cause of disability and death worldwide and, according to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of South Africa, 10 people are affected by a stroke each hour. It occurs when the flow of blood to the brain is blocked or reduced. There could also be bleeding in the brain.

The provincial Department of Health and Wellness urged residents to get medical help quickly when they recognise the warning signs, and to work with health-care workers on the journey to recovery.

WARNING SIGNS

Remember this acronym to help you recognise the sudden

signs of a stroke: Be Fast.

B: suddenly having difficulty to balance;

E: if your eyes struggle to focus or you have double vision;

F: face drooping on one side;

A: arm weakness (weakness usually in the arm and leg on one side of your body);

S: difficulty speaking; and

T: timeous action – go to a hospital immediately or call the ambulance service on 10177.

The sooner you get to a hospital, the better your chances of recovery. When a stroke patient has been

stabilised the journey to regain function and independence begins.

“Because a stroke happens in your brain you can experience the impact of the stroke in multiple parts of your body,” said Demi Alexander, an occupational therapist at Stellenbosch Hospital’s rehabilitation centre.

“This means you will need intervention by a range of experts.”

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING RECOVERY

Each person’s situation and needs are unique.

You could be discharged from hospital, and be: . transferred for inpatient support at a facility like a hospice; . receive home visits for support; or . receive out-patient support by appointment at a hospital.

During recovery you may need the support of such experts as a speech therapist, who will evaluate your ability to swallow and communicate. A dietician can provide guidance on your nutritional needs and educate family members about healthy eating.

“If you want to make progress, do the exercises the team gives you, even if it seems too ‘simple’ to you,” urged Brunsdon. “There is a reason for your having to do that exercise.”

PROACTIVE STEPS TO REDUCE RISK OF STROKE

When it comes to your risk of having a stroke some factors are beyond your control. If you have a family history of stroke or if you had a stroke, you are at greater risk of having a stroke. Your risk of having a stroke is also greater if you are overweight, smoke or drink excessive amounts of alcohol. Here are three tips to reduce your risk of having a stroke: . Find efficient ways to manage stress. Stress can cause us to overeat or to have difficulty sleeping. By managing your stress better, you will be less prone to other habits that can increase your risk of having a stroke. Examples of how you can manage your stress more efficiently is learning to say no when you feel overwhelmed, or to ask for help.

. Add exercise to your daily routine. Exercise gives you a positive way to ease stress and it will help you to maintain a healthy body weight.

. Commit to making better choices. Get the support you need to quit smoking. Keep your intake of alcohol to a minimum.

Klavierwerke van Schumann kom

Die bekende Suid-Afrikaanse pianis Pieter Grobler keer Vrydag (1 November) terug na die Endlersaal vir ’n spesiale voordrag opgedra aan die musiek van Robert Schumann.

Grobler, ’n medeprofessor in klavier aan die Universiteit Stellenbosch, sal ’n genuanseerde verkenning van Schumann se genialiteit aanbied – van sy geliefde werke tot minder bekende juwele.

Die program sal twee van Schumann se meesterstukke bevat: “Carnival Opus 9” en “Fantasy Opus 17”, aangevul met minder bekende stukke, wat laat in die lewe deur die kundige hand van Franz Liszt verwerk is, asook ander skatte.

Grobler, wat lankal bekoor is deur Schumann se verbeelding en bemeestering van die klavier, sê: “Alhoewel Schumann nooit sy droom kon verwesenlik om ’n konsertpianis te word nie, val dit jou op hoe goed hy die klavier as instrument moes verstaan het wanneer jy aan sy musiek werk. Dit het hom toegelaat om in sy klavierkomposisies ongelooflik verbeeldingryk te wees.

“Uiteindelik is die musiek vol (partykeer verbysterende) kontraste wat tog in die oomblik werk; interessante ritmes en teksture, asook ryk liriese harmonie.

“In al sy klaviermusiek is frasering en stemvoering ’n enorme uitdaging, wat nie sonder ure se eksperimentering kan gebeur nie. Dis dalk hierdie eksperimenteringsproses om die werk in die lewe te roep wat ek so kreatief

vind.”

Oor sy keuse van werke verduidelik

Grobler: “Saam met die twee groot werke uit sy mees bekende era van klaviermusiek het ek ’n solo uit ’n laat koorwerk, asook ’n kunslied wat hy as deel van ’n bundel om sangers mee op te lei, geskryf het. Schumann was baie doelmatig as komponis en hoewel sy later werk onder (somtyds lui) kritiek ly dat hy inspirasie verloor het, is dit dalk ook omdat hy voortdurend in sy loopbaan anders skryf na gelang van die doel van die musiek. Liszt moes ook die waarde hiervan verstaan het deur dit ná Schumann se dood vir soloklavier te transkribeer.”

Die konsert vorm deel van die EndlerPrestige-konsertreeks en begin om 19:00. ) Kaartjies kos R165 (standaard), R125 (pensioentrekkers) en R60 (studente) en kan aanlyn deur Webtickets of by die deur gekoop word.

There’s a new Swift on the way

Wallace du Plessis

Suzuki’s B-segment hatch, the Swift, which is also effectively its most important model, has just been redeveloped to stay ahead of the pack nipping at its heels.

It was made public at the Festival of Motoring at Kyalami in August, revealing a fresh design, new engine and all-new CVT option.

There are five models in the new Suzuki Swift range. They range from the entry-level Swift 1.2 GL with manual transmission, to the range topping 1.2 GLX CVT. Pricing has been kept tight, giving good value for money.

In some ways the Swift is the flagship of the range in South Africa, where more than 85 000 have been sold since the original local launch in 2008.

This fourth generation model in SA gets the Z12E naturally aspirated three-cylinder engine that delivers 60 kW and 112 Nm through a five-speed box.

Suzuki claim a fuel consumption of 4,4 F/100 km, but expect to get just below 5 F/100 km.

The new Swift is 20 mm longer with a 265-litre boot, which now features a more versatile 60:40 rear bench split, and access is lower than before.

The interior appears to be slightly more premium than the outgoing model and specification is a step up from the previous models.

The new Suzuki Swift is a bit longer than its predecessor and features a more versatile 60:40 rear bench split.

The whole range now has power steering, digital climate control, a digital information display in the instrument cluster, three-point seatbelts for all five occupants, rear LED tail lamps with a high-mounted LED stop lamp, an immobiliser and alarm, rear parking sensors as well as electrically adjustable and foldable side mirrors.

Standard across the entire range is electric windows on all

four doors, a height adjustable driver’s seat and a rear bench that can fold in a 60/40 configuration.

From a safety point of view all models in the new Suzuki Swift line-up have six airbags as standard, as well as Electronic Stability Programme (ESP), hill hold control and emergency brake assist. Add to this ISOFIX tethering points at the rear and you have one of the safest and

best-equipped vehicles in the Bclass hatch category.

Prices are as follows:

. 1.2 GL Manual: R219 900; . 1.2 GL+ Manual: R239 900; . 1.2 GL+ CVT: R259 900; . 1.2 GLX Manual: R264 900; and . 1.2 GLX CVT: R284 900.

Car magazine got to test a pre-production unit and had this to say: “Suzuki hasn’t strayed far from the formula that made the previous Swift such a success,

rather smoothing out some of the less resolved areas, working on refinement, and adding some welcome features to already good levels of standard specification. Factor in competitive pricing, and it looks as though they might well have another winner on their hands.”

We will be testing the new Swift early November and give readers a full review with driving impressions then.

Date: Saturday 02 November 2024 Time: 09h00 - 13h00

Mia leef vir sokker

Yaël Malgas

Sy kom uit ’n huis vol sokkerliefhebbers met goeie hand-oogkoördinasie. Dit is dus geen verrassing dat Mia Heneke die land by die internasionale skolesokkerkampioenskap verteenwoordig het.

Die 13-jarige was lid van die SuidAfrikaanse o.15-span wat van Vrydag 11 tot Sondag 13 Oktober aan die Cosafaskolesokker-kampioenskap in Namibië deelgeneem het.

Idasvallei Primêr het dié sokkerster met ’n seremonie weggestuur en ma Meldene en pa Carl was byderhand. Dié gr. 7-leerder het by die toernooi geskitter en haar span het die toernooi onoorwonne geëindig.

Op haar beurt het die doelwagter nie een bal verby haar laat kom nie. Dit was dus geen verrassing dat sy met die toernooi se goue handskoen vir doelwagter weggestap het nie.

“Dit was die derde of vierde keer dat ek vanjaar gevlieg het vir sokker. Dit was lekker in Namibië. Ek was ’n bietjie senuweeagtig,” sê Mia.

Die Suid-Afrikaanse span het onder meer teen Angola, Eswatini en Zimbabwe te staan gekom. Die SA-span het die eindstryd gehaal en uiteindelik met 3-1 teen Malawi geseëvier.

Gewoonlik skree Mia, haar pa en broer Connor (19) vir Manchester United, terwyl ma ’n Liverpoolondersteuner is.

Tydens die toernooi was die hele gesin natuurlik vasgenael op die YouTube-kanaal waarop Mia se wedstryde uitgesaai is.

By die huis is Mia ’n lid van die Maties-vrouespan en dit blyk haar “goue hande” loop in die familie. Carl was op sy dag ook ’n bobaas-doelwagter,

Mia Heneke (13), bobaas-doelwagter, saam met ma Meldene en pa Carl by Idasvallei Primêr nadat sy Suid-Afrika by die Cosafa-skolesokkerkampioenskap verteenwoordig het. Foto: Yaël Malgas

’n prestasie wat sy kinders aanvanklik verbaas het toe hulle hiervan gehoor het. Dit blyk Connor het ook dié gesinsvaardigheid geërf.

Daar kan ook geen twyfel aan Mia se talente wees nie. Sy het reeds op die ouderdom van 11 jaar by die Nelsonsokkerklub begin sokker speel. Hier was sy al meisie en het vir twee jaar gespeel voor Maties dié tiener gevra het om by hulle aan te sluit.

Haar ouers bieg die uitgawes wat met sport gepaard gaan is soms ’n uitdaging, maar die ondersteuning vanuit die gemeenskap kom altyd deur –ondersteuning waarvoor hulle altyd dankbaar is.

Mia sê sy is seker van haar saak – sy wil eendag professioneel sokker speel. Sy sê om afrigter te wees klink ook na ’n goeie plan, maar hoe dit ook al sy, by die sokkerveld wil sy bly.

ROOFING & WATERPROOFING

Die kompetisie het in die eerste naweek van die Septemberskoolvakansie plaasgevind.

Dit is Saterdag 21 en Sondag 22 September op die Universiteit van Kaapstad se rugbyvelde beslis en laerskole, hoërskole en tersiêre spanne van oor die land heen het deelgeneem.

“Daar is ’n hele span wat op jou staatmaak om elke keer 100% te gee.

Almal is bitter hardwerkend en ons hou mekaar verantwoordelik vir dit waartoe ons ingestem het,” het die HS se spankaptein, Elmarie Grobbelaar, verduidelik.

HS se rasieleiers het uitstekend presteer en in die top-drie van al vyf hul afdelings geëindig. Die plaaslike rasieleiers se “All girl large”- en “performance”-spanne het ’n derde plek verower, en die “co-ed small”-span het silwer behaal, terwyl die “All girl small”- en “Pom duo”-spanne eerste plekke landswyd behaal het.

Kayli Janse van Rensburg, een van die “flyers” in die span, meen die spanne se voorbereiding het vrugte afgewerp. “Ons het baie tyd saam deurgebring en baie hard geoefen. Dit is moeilik om elke keer weer op te staan nadat jy geval het en weer te probeer totdat jy dit regkry, maar dit maak die uiteinde soveel meer bevredigend,” sê Kayli.

Die HS het in 2018 een van die eerste skole in die Wes-Kaap geword wat mededingend aan “cheerleading” begin

deelneem het.

Sedert die sport by die skool aangebied is, het die spanne baie in dié kort tydperk ontwikkel.

Bekker Strydom, ’n gr. 9-leerder, het vanjaar as rasieleier begin. Hy meen dié sport is soos geen ander sport nie.

Bekker erken dit is moeilik, maar “regtigwaar lekker”.

Dit is te danke aan die toewyding van die afrigters, Lisa Parrock en Jeanina van der Westhuizen, asook die harde werk en dissipline van die span, dat hulle so goed kon presteer.

Groot

Die nasionale kampioenskap is egter nie al wat die rasieleiers hierdie jaar aangepak het nie. Vyftien van die HSrasieleiers het vroeër vanjaar hul Westelike Provinsie-kleure verwerf en nege van die skool se rasieleiers het die Suid-Afrikaanse span gehaal wat volgende jaar aan die wêreldkampioenskap in Florida in die VSA sal deelneem.

Die skool meen sy rasieleiers is ’n span om dop te hou, want hulle is onder die beste in die land in ’n vinnig groeiende sport.

VDE vereer spelers ná geskiedkundige jaar

Avril Fillies

Die Van der Stel-Evergreensrugbyklub (VDE) het Saterdag (26 Oktober) sy bekeruitdeling in die Van der Stel-saal by die Bergzicht-sportveld gehou en sy beste spelers vereer.

In die klub se sewejarige bestaan het hy gevorder van die Noordelike Liga tot in Superliga A, en is ná 20 jaar die tweede span van Stellenbosch wat in 2025 in Superliga A gaan speel. Maties is die ander span wat Stellenbosch se naam in die liga hoog sal moet hou.

Die gasspreker was dr. Leslie Siegelaar, dosent aan die Kaapse Skiereiland Universiteit van Tegnologie (KSUT). Hy het in sy toespraak die klub met ’n arend vergelyk en gesê as arende oud word, het hulle ’n keuse, naamlik om dood te gaan of te vernuwe.

Die simboliek hieragter was dat VDE hoog gaan vlieg in 2025 in Superliga A. Die klub sal

Eagan Matroos (speler van die jaar), Jerano Williams (sportman van die jaar), Siegelaar, Godfrey Thomas (waardevolste speler) en Dimitri Adonis (vordering).

volgens hom blootgestel word aan opbouende en afbrekende kritiek. Die klub moet hom ook nie aan die kritiek van “onbelangrike” mense steur nie, maar vernuwing (nuwe spelers en sy afrigtingspan) omhels.

Die klub is volgens hom nie in Superliga A om getalle vol te maak nie, maar omdat VDE verdien om daar te speel. Hy het ook wyle prof. Russel Botman, die eerste bruin rektor

VDE se tweede span is die Superliga B-kampioen van die Westelike Provinsie-rugbyunie en die spelers en afrigters wat die afgelope Saterdag vereer is, is, agter van links, Selvin Ernstzen (voorspeler-afrigter) en Ando Dreyer (agterspeler-afrigter). Voor staan Jaden Blake (beste agterspeler), Justin van Ryneveld (beste voorspeler), en Zaid Gasnodien (beste vordering).

MTB routes revealed

Stillwater Sports, organisers of the Savanna Origin of Trails MTB Experience, have announced a series of exciting route enhancements aimed at showcasing the very best of Stellenbosch.

by die Universiteit Stellenbosch, aangehaal, wat in sy toespraak by die aanvaarding van sy rektorskap gesê het dat die plaaseienaar se kind en die plaasarbeider se kind gelyke kanse by die universiteit moet kry. Dit was ook Siegelaar se hoop dat spelers wat in 2025 hul gewig by VDE gaan ingooi dieselfde kans, ongeag ras, moet kry om die klub op die rugbyveld te verteenwoordig.

Die o.20-spelers wat bekers

Agter staan die afrigters Stefan van der Hoven en Riaan Timmie.

The two-day mountainbiking event will be held in and around the town on Saturday 16 and Sunday 17 November, with Coetzenburg Field acting as the race village.

Riders have the option of choosing between the marathon and half-marathon distances. “The marathon is designed for fitter, more experienced riders who feel confident on technical terrain,” says Michael Meyer, managing director of Stillwater Sports and event founder.

“The route showcases some of Stellenbosch’s best trails. The punchy climbs and rocky single tracks are characteristic of the area.

Fitness will definitely enhance the overall experience.”

Day 1 of the marathon covers 48 km with a total ascent of 1 400 m. Described as a “lucky packet” of mountain biking, it offers a variety of short, punchy climbs, smooth single-track, long climbs and technical terrain. Highlights include the ever-popular trails of Mont Marie, Dornier, Ernie Els and Stellenzicht.

Day 2 of the marathon spans 54 km with 900 m of climbing. It’s flatter and faster than day 1. For the first time the underrated Somerbosch Trails will be featured, with the Faure Drop promising an adrenaline rush.

For those looking for a less intense experience, the halfmarathon is perfect for novice stage racers or riders who want to enjoy the event’s atmosphere while experiencing magnificent trails.

Day 1 of the half-marathon features a 26 km route with a total ascent of 650 m, offering a balanced stage with a mix of jeep-track and single-track. Highlights include the floating bridge at Mont Marie and the iconic G-Spot trail. This stage caters for riders of all levels, incorporating some technical riding without the more challenging sections of the full marathon.

Day 2 of the half-marathon covers 36 km with a 600 m ascent. It’s flatter and smoother than day 1, featuring fun single-track and climbs toward the end, and offering riders their first chance to tackle the Somerbosch Trails. ) For more information or to enter, send an email to entries@stillwatersports.com or visit https:// bit.ly/2024SavannaOOTOnlineEn tries.

Success for S’bosch NGO

Avril Fillies

Being crowned as the 2024 champions of the Stellenbosch LFA First Division showed the strong character of the training4changeS’ first team.

This inspiring group of high school boys overcame numerous challenges to win their first title in men’s football and, in doing so, they outscored their opponents by more than 40 goals with their exciting style of play.

“The NGO has been working in Stellenbosch since 2013 to provide more than 1 800 children with coaching, academic support and mentorship,” said co-founder Daniel Thomae.

“We always look for the lesson and we are immensely proud of these boys and the way they responded to adversity throughout this season. Winning their first title reflects training4changeS’ commitment to helping young changemakers reach their full

Sweet triumph after putting in the hard yards

potential through sport.”

The boys, all 18 years and younger, are inspiring young leaders and fantastic soccer players. The coaches do an incredible job with the children, and being victorious this season is just an example of how a diverse group of people work together and, how the boys continually defy the odds to rise above their difficult surroundings.

“This title is a good sign that we are going in a positive

direction,” said first team coach Siyabulela “Steve” Qangule. “I am so blessed to be part of these boys’ lives, and its a good feeling to see them smiling. It’s encouraging to be the champions.”

Team co-captain Earl Jacobs thanked Coach Steve for pushing them through the year. Although still in school they sacrificed a lot of their time to be on the training field and not neglecting their schoolwork. He also thanked his teammates for

giving everything and said it is indeed a privilege to be league champions.

The First Division triumph comes after training4changeS’ under-13 boys were also crowned Stellenbosch LFA champions, and the under-11 boys missed out on the age group title following a gutwrenching penalty shoot-out loss in the final.

“A credit to the whole training4changeS organisation,” said under-13 coach Lorenzo

Claassen.

“None of this would be possible without us working together. It is a very sweet moment for the boys. They can be proud of their hard work during the year. We want to build on of this and create similar success stories for girls through soccer as well.” training4changeS is an internationally acclaimed NGO based in Stellenbosch that provides a unique blend of high-level soccer coaching, quality education, and mentorship to empower young changemakers. It is was the first African NGO to earn accreditation in education outside the classroom, and has twice been ranked the top African NGO using sport for peace and social justice. The organisation runs a boys’ soccer academy and school teams for girls. ) Visit www.training4changes.org or the NGO’s social media channels to find out more.

Van der Stel wen terwyl Stellenbosch klippe kou

Tasmin Cupido

Die Van der Stel-krieketklub het sy goeie vorm hervat en die afgelope naweek ’n oorheersende sege oor die Coronationskrieketklub in die T20Gemeenskapsbekertoernooi se Premier Areeks behaal.

Die spanne het Saterdag (26 Oktober) by die Pniël-sportterrein kragte gemeet, met Coronations wat besluit het om eerste te kolf toe hy die loot gewen het. Dit was dalk die verkeerde besluit, want die span van die Dwarsriviervallei het nooit regtig gemaklik voor die paaltjies gelyk nie.

Hulle het slegs 90 lopies op die telbord gehad toe al hul kolwers ná 17.1

boulbeurte terug in die kleedkamer was.

Lehan Botha (35; 1x4, 2x6) en Charl Cyster (21; 2x6) was die enigste kolwers wat weerstand teen die Van der Stelboulaanval gebied het. Vir die Stellenbossers was Divan Swanepoel (4/16), Rayyaan Rhode (3/33) en Wynand Smit (2/2) in die kol met die bal.

Op hul beurt was die kolwers van Van der Stel in ’n vernietigende bui en het die teiken met gemak in die 16de boulbeurt behaal (91/3).

Pieter Malan (47*; 5x4, 1x6) en Shaun von Berg (30; 3x4) was die Stellenbossers se beste kolwers, terwyl Frederick Hendricks (2/20) sy bes gedoen het om Coronations se teiken te verdedig.

In Idasvallei het die Stellenbosch-

krieketklub in sy T20-wedstryd teen die Wellington-krieketklub klippe gekou en met 29 lopies die knie gebuig.

Die besoekers het die loot gewen, eerste gekolf en 123/8 in hul 20 boulbeurte aangeteken. Steven Abrahams (39; 4x4) en Garreth Wolmarans (33; 2x6) het die meeste lopies vir Wellington aangeteken, terwyl Alveano Carolus (3/13) en Bradley Jephtas (2/19) Stellenbosch se beste boulers was.

Die tuisspan het in sy kolfbeurt gesukkel om aan te gang te kom en nooit regtig gemaklik voor die penne gelyk nie. Stellenbosch is in die 18de boulbeurt almal vir slegs 94 lopies uitgehaal, met net Morné de Vries (29; 1x6) wat ’n noemenswaardige telling aangeteken het.

Abrahams (5/6) het met die bal vir Wellington geskitter en is goed deur Wesley Engelbrecht (3/20) ondersteun. . Hierdie naweek is die Stellenboschkrieketklub Saterdag en Sondag (2 en 3 November) in die kompetisie in aksie. Hulle reis Saterdag om kragte met die Robertson-krieketklub te meet en is Sondag terug in Idasvallei om teen die Coronations-krieketklub te speel. Van der Stel, tans tweede op die punteleer, reis Saterdag na die Pen Basson-ovaal om teen die eerste gekeurde Wellington te staan te kom.

Coronations en Van der Stel geniet Saterdag ’n loslootjie. Die spanne van Maties en Victoriane is nie deel van die T20-Gemeenskapsbekertoernooi nie.

Earl Jacobs, co-captain of the training4changeS senior team, lifts the trophy and celebrates with his teammates as they are crowned Stellenbosch LFA First Division champions.
