THINKING OUT LOUD
The Christmas pox
It’s September, which is Spring and Heritage Month but also mine and my hubby’s birthday months
Yay! To me this means booking all those lekker free trips that become available in this month only but it also means prepping for Christmas Christmas is a big deal in our family and I prefer to start prepping now before prices get inflated for Black Friday “sales” and festive season madness
This year especially I would like to have a special Christmas with my family because not only have we had a hard year but last year Christmas was spent in quarantine because our family were ‘poxxed’ It began in early November when my middle daughter came home with a blister on her wrist Parents in the know are already groaning yes, it was chickenpox I sprang into protocol mode: isolation, Allergex, calamine, Panado generics, and a message to her teacher
The teacher replied with a crying emoji My daughter was the fifth in her class, and by year-end 11 had caught it, part of a mini-outbreak that overlapped with exams
You’re probably thinking: “Vaccines!” Well, I’m not anti-vax I’m pedantic about every other jab but I’ve never been sold on the chickenpox one It’s expensive, not on the state schedule, requires boosters, and may even be linked to shingles spikes in some countries So, I let nature take its course
Sure enough, chickenpox’s virality meant the others were likely doomed except my eldest, who’d had it at two The next day my youngest and second youngest
In case you’re counting on your fingers and struggling to keep up, let me clarify, I have seven daughters
The rash faded quickly, probably allergies, but I wasn’t sure But first, let me explain my own bizarre immunity I’m the eldest of four, my mother’s sickliest child, asthmatic and allergic to half the planet, yet I never caught chickenpox despite multiple exposures including from my youngest sister, from my eldest daughter, and even while working at Red Cross Hospital A blood test later confirmed I am immune, though how remains a mystery I briefly considered the vaccine but the test spared me the decision Naturally, my teens hoped I’d passed this magic gene down When my middle child recovered, second eldest taunted her mercilessly, certain she’d dodged the virus Then, the day before her final exam, the blisters appeared A doctor confirmed her mild case, which only added to her smugness Until my fourth daughter got it She missed her prizegiving and, by the time she recovered, mid-December had arrived Just as we thought it was over, my second eldest, the prideful mocker, caught it again rare but possible I did feel for her, though Her 15th birthday was a week before Christmas, and her beach party plans dissolved in a sea of blisters With second eldest sick, we were officially housebound for Christmas As she recovered, my third eldest sprouted a blister, then my youngest on her eye, so New Year’s was equally subdued By January we were three months into the saga, with only my second youngest untouched Sure enough, the day before school started, a blister appeared on her lip My excited little Grade R missed her first weeks thanks to chickenpox By then, the pox had finally had its one-at-a-time way with every one of my children and made last Christmas (cue George Michael) the one forever marked in family lore as the year of the Christmas Pox - LAUREN O’CONNOR-MAY
Moderne wonderwerk gebeur
Die afgelope meer as tien jaar het iets merkwaardigs op godsdienstige vlak in Kuilsrivier gebeur
Die NG kerk Digtebij in Sarepta is ’n ou, gevestigde gemeente Sowat tien jaar gelede het plaaslike lidmate van die Morawiese kerk besluit om hier ’n gemeente te stig Hulle moes van bakboord tot stuurboord soek na ’n geskikte plek van aanbidding
Gesprekke is gevoer met die NG kerk Digtebij en sonder om te twyfel het die destydse leraar, ds Herman Burger, en sy kerkraad ’n hand van vriendskap uitgesteek Hulle het ingestem om vroeër met hul diens te begin sodat die Morawiese gemeente daarna die geriewe kon gebruik Dit het uitstekend gewerk en sake het vlot verloop
Die Morawiese gemeente het bestendig gegroei Ongelukkig was dit nie die geval met die NG-gemeente nie, wat uiteindelik hul standplaas moes opgee Dit het aan die Morawiese gemeente die kans gebied om
die kerkgebou oor te koop Dit was egter nie maklik nie - hulle is n klein groepie en moes noodgedwonge n groot banklening bekom
Op Sondag 14 September was daar groot blydskap toe die leraar, eerw Abrahams, aangekondig het dat die kerkeiendom nou aan die Morawiese gemeente behoort Die droom het waar geword Die Digtebij-gemeente benut steeds die fasiliteite as deel van ’n besonderse ooreenkoms tussen die twee gemeentes Verlede jaar op Erfenisdag het daar ook iets besonders in Genadendal gebeur: Die NG Kerk het verskoning gevra vir die wyse waarop hulle destyds die werk van die Morawiese sendeling, Georg Schmidt, onder die inheemse mense in die wiele gery het Schmidt is terug Duitsland toe Tog het die werk voortgegaan, en plekke soos Genadendal, Wupperthal, Mamre en Elim het tot stand gekom Inwoner,KUILSRIVIER
‘Dankie dat julle Cece vereer’
In die De Grendel TygerBurger van verlede week was ‘n lekkerlees storie met drie vriendelike gesigte daarby ("Legende Cece Winans word vereer", 17 September) Cece en haar broer Bebe Winans is natuurlik groot legendes in die wêreld van geestelike musiek Toe hy verlede jaar hier was, het ek die konsert bygewoon Toe ek en my vroutjie lees dat Cece Kaap toe kom, het ons dadelik kaartjies gekoop en ons was geseënd om te sien hoe die Legende-trofee aan haar oorhandig word Sy moes die liefde gevoel het want die hele GrandWest Arena was op hul voete vir haar hele optrede Ek wil eintlik bysê dat sy nie ‘n show gee nie, maar dat dit ‘n geestelike bediening was Elke lied het die hele GrandWest geroer Ek wil namens my en die hele gehoor die Legendesmuseum bedank deur Suster Cece so mooi te J ll t di b d k i
Business man arrested in Durbanville
I would like to express my shock and disgust at the incident in Durbanville ("Sakeman in hegtenis vir skoot op messteker", TygerBurger 17 September), in which a concerned businessman was trying to save someone's life and, after using physical force on the attacker, had to resort to using a firearm to avoid a murder or further injury to the victim
The report stipulates that he reported this to the police, only to get arrested for attempted murder
What was he supposed to do? Just stand back and watch and let the criminal do as he pleased?
Instead of thanking him, the police locked him up for the night Unbelievable!
I hope he sues the police for tarnishing his name
Can someone please get clarity on what the police would like the public to do when they encounter any type of criminal offence?
Should we just stand and watch and wait for someone to die?
It seems if you don't have a red beret and overalls you're likely to get arrested at the drop of a hat Stopthecrazy,BRACKENFELL
fences, gates, and rules plastered on signs But how often do you see six or more unrelated children freely playing together? When we design for rules instead of for joy, we design out community Mr Andrews I urge you: Let us redesign some of our recreational spaces with skateboarding in mind Create safe, well-maintained parks that welcome skateboarders, cyclists, and skaters Let Cape Town become the city that proudly says: We did not forget our youth! Imagine the pride if one day a South African skateboarder, who credits the design of the Durbanville skatepark for providing the foundation needed to develop their skills, should carry our flag at the Olympic Games That story begins with a decision we make now TristanBellingan,HOOGSTEDE

UWC bags third consecutive Varsity Football title
UWC Women s Football have made history, clinching their third consecutive Varsity Football championship with a narrow 1-0 victory over UJ Women s Football on Monday night (19 September)
Played at the packed UJ Soweto Stadium, the final proved a tense affair Both teams struggled to create clear scoring opportunities in a goalless first half, although UWC maintained persistent attacking pressure
VICTORY
The UJ defence, marshalled by Shannon Macomo and Portia Masilela, put up a resolute fight, successfully containing UWC's attacking threats including Chelsea Daniels and captain Tiffany Kortjie Early in the second half, UWC's Kortjie delivered the decisive blow In the 46th minute, she scored the only goal of the match, completing a hat-trick of titles for the Western Cape side Despite falling behind, UJ fought valiantly to get back into the game Captain Sthembile Sandleni, Kabelo Mokoena, and substitute Gugulethu Dhlamini led the charge, but to no avail UJ's best opportunity came in the dying moments when Kamogelo Maponya found herself one-on-one with the UWC goalkeeper, but her shot went wide After the victory, UWC coach Thinasonke Mbuli praised her team and the strategic preparation that led to the

Villager crowned Super A
The winners of the Super Leagues of Western Province Rugby Union received their respective trophies on Saturday 20 September at City Park in thrilling matches
In Super League A, Villager dethroned Hamiltons, the defending champions, by 30-14 and it seemed as if the one week layoff had an influence on the performance of Hamiltons Both teams will be in action in the 2026 season in Super League A, and will be joined by Franschhoek and Primrose
In the Super League B final, it was one-way traffic between Primrose and Franschhoek, when Primrose under the coaching of Ricky Petersen, won 46-24 It was evident last week already in the semis
that Primrose were on a mission and only a miracle could stop them from taking the title against Franschhoek Belhar and Kraaifontein were in action in the play-off in Super B to determine the third team that will be joining Super A next year Kraaifontein had to make up for last year's flop when Van der StelEvergreens beat them to play in Super A this year Kraaifontein won 20-15 which means Belhar will be in Super B again next year and Kraaie in Super A
In the Super C match between Young Peoples and All Saints, it rained tries as Young Peoples overpowered All Saints by 50-37 Both teams will play in Super B next year
ikita Chambers,`n trampolien- en tuimelgimnas by die Eversdal-gimnastiekklub in Brackenfell, reik na n droom om Suid-Afrika vanjaar by die 38ste FIG Trampolien-gimnastiekwêreldkampioenskap in Spanje te verteenwoordig nadat sy in 2022 n ernstige besering opgedoen het Nikita (23) het sy op 12-jarige ouderdom die sport begin beoefen "Dis baie laat vir gimnastiek, maar haar liefde en toewyding vir die sport het haar vandag gebring tot waar sy is," vertel haar ma, Marika In 2022 is Nikita gekies om deel te neem aan die wêreld-ouderdomskompetisie en het sodoende haar federasiekleure ontvang om in Bulgarye te gaan deelneem "Ongelukkig, met haar eerste sprong op die dubbel-minitrampolien, het sy skeef geland en haar enkel het die prys betaal Sy het twee bene in haar enkel gebreek en twee ligamente heeltemal afgeskeur Terug in Suid-Afrika het die dokter wat dit herstel het en ankers ingesit het, vir haar gesê haar gimnastiekloopbaan is verby "Maar dit was egter nog altyd Nikita se droom om aan die wêreldkampioenskap deel te neem, wat gelykstaande is aan die Olimpiese Spele vir dubbelminitrampoliens, juis omdat die sport nie by die Olimpiese Spele ingesluit word nie Met die dokter se woorde het sy in my rigting gekyk en ek het geweet sy is nog nie klaar met gimnastiek nie," sê Marika
Met n ystervaste vasberadenheid het Nikita deurgedruk met 14 maande se intensiewe rehabililitasie by die Sportwetenskapsinstituut van Suid-Afrika saam met haar biokinetikus, Lindiwe Le Brasseur, om teen einde verlede jaar in Portugal aan die Coimbra Cup en Scallabis Cup deel te neem, waar sy goed gevaar het
Vanjaar het sy aan proewe deelgeneem vir die wêreldkampioenskap en is gekies vir die wêreld ope-kampioenskap, en het haar Proteakleure ontvang
"Hiermee maak sy geskiedenis deur die eerste vrou in die Wes-Kaap te wees wat haar Protea-kleure ontvang vir minitrampolien vir n wêreld Ope," sê Marika
"Ons is so trots op haar, maar ongelukkig moet alles self gefinansier word en het ons sodoende n looitjie-trekking begin om geld vir haar in te samel," sê Marika
Met haar plek nou bevestig op die wêreldverhoog, is n Nikita n inspirasie vir jong atlete oor die land heen en bewys sy dat geen droom te groot is vir 'n dapper hart nie
"Ná soveel jare van harde werk, trane, oorwinnings en struikelblokke, het ek
uiteindelik my droom bereik Hierdie mylpaal sou nooit moontlik gewees het sonder die ongelooflike ondersteuning van my familie, afrigters, vriende en elke persoon wat in my geglo het nie Ek is diep dankbaar en ongelooflik trots om Suid-Afrika te verteenwoordig by die 38ste FIG Trampolien-gimnastiekwêreldkampioenskap Hierdie oomblik beteken alles vir my," sê Nikita .
