CrackdownonillegaldogbreedinginSeaVista
IN a concerted effort to curb illegal dog breeding and improve animal welfare, law enforcement officers and representatives from Kouga Local Municipality, along with volunteers from St Francis Animal Rescue and the SPCA, have launched an awareness campaign aimed at educating residents about animal bylaws and responsible pet ownership
The initiative comes in response to a surge in pitbull breeding, rising complaints about overcrowded properties, and reports of alleged dog fighting In a firm move to tackle the problem, Kouga Law Enforcement has begun issuing fines and letters of compliance to individuals involved in illegal breeding or keeping excessive
numbers of pets, marking a vital first step toward resolving the issue
Complementing these enforcement efforts, St Francis Animal Rescue has commenced sterilisation procedures for male and female Coonhounds in Sea Vista, aiming to halt breeding and prevent further mistreatment
To further support these measures, the campaign also focuses on community education and ongoing engagement with residents The campaign involves distributing multilingual pamphlets outlining important bylaws, while municipal officers and rescue volunteers engage directly with residents Every second Wednesday at 16:00, teams return to Sea Vista to rein-
force the message that responsible pet ownership is essential to ending cycles of neglect and cruelty The aim is to extend this campaign to other towns across the municipality
Acollaborativeeffort
Susan Rae Fox, chairperson of St Francis Animal Rescue, highlighted the significance of Kouga Law Enforcement Officer, Johnny Hayward, and his team’s presence in working with pet owners “Their presence lends authority to our efforts We are met with more respect, and the possibility of fines for breeding, neglect or cruelty encourages people to take our message seriously and change their behaviour,” she said

Finally, minor building works will be undertaken, and new perimeter fencing will be installed to strengthen security at the plant
“This project addresses the plant’s operational shortcomings, as well as strengthening the security measures on site, ensuring that our infrastructure remains protected and resilient,” said Bornman
“Our main focus is on sterilisation and bringing down the number of dogs per household According to municipal bylaws, residents are only permitted to keep two dogs per property ” Fox added that residents who wish to keep more than the permitted number of dogs must apply for special permission, on the condition that once those dogs pass away, they may not be replaced Kouga Executive Mayor, Hattingh Bornman, said, “This campaign is first and foremost about education We remain committed to supporting initiatives that encourage responsible, humane, and ethical pet ownership throughout our communities ”

RAZAAN PLAATJIES
AFTER dedicating 50 years to shaping young minds, Hettie Groenewald (73), principal of King s College in Jeffreys Bay, will officially retire on June 27, closing a remarkable chapter in local education
Groenewald's journey at King's College began in 2018 when she joined as a teacher
Her leadership qualities quickly shone through, leading to her appointment as deputy principal in 2019 and principal in 2021
Groenewald's career in education started after receiving her teaching qualification at Dower College in Kariega in 1971
She began teaching at Helenvale Primary School in Gqeberha in 1972, before moving to Humansdorp where she taught at St Patrick's Primary School
Groenewald's journey continued at Pellsrus Primary School in Jeffreys Bay and later at Graslaagte Primary School in Humansdorp, before eventually finding her home at King's College
Despite her impressive career, she admits she initially had reservations about taking on a principal's role
"I was not interested in being a principal because I believed that I worked better with children than I
would with adults However, when I was appointed as principal at King’s College, I found that I was blessed with great staff members," said Groenewald
She said that during her time at King's College, she has formed a special connection with the learners, and she looks forward to returning to the school in 2026 to celebrate a milestone, as the school's first matric class is expected to complete their secondary education
"Since I have a close bond with all the learners, I still want to be involved in their education by helping them with university admission and any other assistance they may need," she said
Retirement won't mean inactivity for Groenewald, who hopes to dedicate her time to helping senior citizens in the Kouga area
"I am still praying to God for guidance before I take on the next task I want guidance on what role I can play in the lives of senior citizens," said Groenewald
Elaborating on her personal life, she explained that her first husband died in a tragic accident in 1992 involving a buggy he had purchased for their son
Following his death, she raised five biological children and one adopted child on her own – a task she describes as difficult In 2019, she remarried, and to-
day, she is the proud mother of five children, grandmother to nine, and great-grandmother to two
Reflecting on her career, Groenewald emphasised the impact of her work
"I will miss the children because for at least 50 years, my life revolved around them Through my work, I have been able to impact many lives over the years," said Groenewald
She further expressed deep gratitude to the founders of King's College, Johan and Astrid Vos
"I have to give the honour they so greatly deserve to Johan and Astrid for what they have done throughout the Kouga region I also must thank God for opening doors for them," said Groenewald
"Their faith and obedience to God are wonderful to witness They are great examples of people who dream big and trust God for guid-
ance, which is an amazing testimony to the children at the school " Groenewald said that both Johan and Astrid believe that each child deserves the best education possible, and breaking the cycle of poverty in the area is their mission
Teacher Rachel Koopman, who has known Groenewald for many years, having taught with her at both Pellsrus Primary and King's College, praised her character and influence
"Hettie is a God-fearing woman who loves the children at the school, her community, and profession," said Koopman
"As a stylish and sophisticated person, Hettie always encouraged her learners to be neat, which included both their attire and schoolbooks "
Teacher Anica Scott highlighted Groenewald's fairness and elegance
"To me, she embodies the regal qualities of the colour purple," said Scott
She further said that during Groenewald s time at King's College, she had elevated the school to new heights
School bursar Danielle Olifant, who has worked alongside Groenewald for the past year, expressed how much she has learned in that short time
"The school's admin block will not be the same with Mrs Groenewald leaving," said Olifant
She further said that she admires her leadership style and firmness towards her staff
"I will take all that I have learnt from her over the last year and use it in my own career," said Olifant
She has further wished Groenewald all the best as she enters a new phase in her life
Hettie Groenewald bids farewell to King’s College after 50 years in the education industry

DAAR word soms gesê dat kampmense heeljaar spaar om aan die einde van die jaar uit hulle gemaklike huise te trek om dan soos plakkers te woon in ‘n karavaanpark of langs ‘n rivier
Ek het as kind nie grootgeword met kamp-en karavaanvakansies nie –ons het meestal by familie gekuier Die gekampery het aanvanklik vir my ook maar na ‘n ongemaklike gedoente gelyk Maar gaandeweg het ek danksy vriende met dié heerlike manier van vakansiehou kennis gemaak, en my siening het verander
Dit was sommer van meet af aan vir my duidelik dat kampmense lekker mense is Hulle is vriendelik, ontsien geen moeite om mekaar te help nie en is verdraagsaam Dis veral nou dat heelwat van my vriende afgetredenes is, dat hulle sommer in ‘n japtrap tent opslaan of die karavaan haak Johanna en Andries maak die beste van hulle dae Hulle kamp gereeld saam met die karavaanklub op verskillende lieflike plekke, of sommer
op hulle eie Ek kan my verkyk aan die kort paadjies wat hulle oor die jare ontwikkel het om dié leefstyl so gemaklik moontlik te maak, sonder om té gesofistikeerd te wees Andries het bv ‘n klein sonpaneeltjie aangebring wat sorg vir lig saans Johanna het kratte wat altyd regstaan om net gelaai te kan word – die inhoud word gereeld aangevul
My vriende Ben en Danita kan in ‘n japtrap haak en vertrek Ben se gesondheid is nie waffers nie, maar hy meen as hy by die huis in die bed bly, kan hy net sowel langs die see in die karavaan lê, met die sorgsaamheid van sy vrou
Dan is daar die vriendinne Silla en Marietjie, oorspronklik van Welkom Die twee oud-verpleegkundiges het hulle huis en inhoud verkoop, ‘n kampwa gekoop en toer nou al drie jaar lank deur die land Hulle leef nou hulle droom Hier staan hulle ‘n maand, daar drie maande of maak soos die wind hulle waai Hulle is albei raakvatters en laat hulle nie omvergooi deur sterk wind of reën nie Hulle is knap ingerig met al die
She said that one of their standout initiatives is a court preparation pro-
gramme run in partnership with the Teddy Bear Clinic, offering invaluable support to vulnerable children
"Therapy TOP Dogs bring comfort and joy to hospitals, rehabilitation centres, oncology wards, frail care homes, schools for differently-abled individuals and children's homes of safety," said Thompson
In Jeffreys Bay, they visit Amala Nursing Home, Eedenglen, and Jeffreysrus Retirement Villages
Thompson said that whether it's the cheerful wag of a tail in a hospital or the soothing presence of a dog in a frail care home, these therapy dogs create moments of connection, joy, and hope
She said that their unique ability to adapt to each situation ensures that they bring smiles to the faces of people of all ages and circumstances, leaving behind cherished memories and renewed spirits
"The simple act of petting produc-
es an automatic relaxation response, which could even reduce the amount of medication needed Dogs are also sensitive to a human's mental and physical state, and can help a person overcome deep grief," said Thompson
She further said that at the core of the success of TOP Dogs are the handlers, who give not just their time but also their hearts
"Their commitment, paired with the extraordinary dogs they share, has made Therapy TOP Dogs a source of comfort and inspiration, spreading smiles for miles throughout South Africa," said Thompson She said that the JBay Therapy TOP Dogs are inviting dog owners who would enjoy such volunteer work and have pets that are gentle and joyful to join the team

Maar dis nie al nie: hulle drie worshonde en twee ou katte toer tog te lekker saam Ek het al ander mense gesien wat hulle voëltjies in hokke saamneem
Ek verwonder my daaraan om te sien hoe vinnig kampers kan kos maak Maar dan besef ek dit was nie eintlik so vinnig nie – die tyd het net gevlieg omdat almal saam sit en gesels en stories uitruil om die vuur Voor jy kan sê ‘mes’, is die kos gereed
Om deur die kampeerterrein te stap is ‘n belewenis om te sien hoe elkeen op sy besondere manier ingerig is Party tente is getooi met gekleurde liggies en ander met vlaggies En die geure van braaivleis en ander geregte op die oop vuur prikkel die smaakkliere
Die samesyn is so kosbaar en dit lyk my die land se probleme word om vure opgelos Kampers is dit eens dat die buitelewe in die natuur vir hulle salf vir die siel is
