VOLUNTEER FATIGUE: A PERFECTLY HUMAN PHENOMENON, EXPERTS SAY

Burnout a reality DESIRÉE RORKE @dezzierorke

V

olunteer fatique is not something that is spoken about often or without a tinge of guilt by volunteers, but, say experts, it is a normal human response seen in the highly empathetic individual.

“Volunteer fatigue is not a disease or illness. It is a temporary state,” says psycologist Lynn Hendricks, co-founder of Brackenfell/

Kraaifontein Community Action Network (Can BK), an organisation than sprang into action as an emergency response to the food and hunger crisis brought about by lockdown in March.

“With over 60 volunteers, we have served a total of 275 000 meals from March to October 2020. Volunteers who make up our group are amazing men and women from our community and have different working backgrounds including nurses, community workers, activ-

ists, teachers, researchers, social workers, police officers, mechanics, artists, computer engineers, full time moms and dads, pensioners and young people. What bonds us together is our love of serving and community,” says Hendricks.

They started as strangers who connected via social media and shared a few meals together, to the hungry communities. “But as more volunteers joined the network the group started mobilising itself and formalising it’s activities

in Brackenfell and Kraaifontein.”

Over the last seven months, says Hendricks, most of the volunteers have experienced burnout and needed a break to recoup and rest, before going back out to serve.

“For those who volunteered for a prolonged period of time, you may have felt overwhelmed and tired with a mix of intense emotions flowing when returning from serving those who are in need.

“South Africa has seen a surge in the number of people who opened

their hearts and volunteered throughout the lockdown and we say thank you. It is a labour of love,” she says.

“Most volunteers are help oriented people and often view selfcare as a form of self-indulgence.

“They may feel that the idea of focusing on themselves makes them feel selfish and fills them with shame. This way of thinking is dangerous for your mental and physical health.”

Altydgedacht matriarch passes away at 95 ESMÉ ERASMUS

T

he matriarch of Altydgedacht Wine Estate, Jean Parker, died at her home on Saturday 10 October at the age of 95.

She was known for her enormous role in Durbanville, its environment and agriculture, says Denise Robinson, a member of parliament.

“Farming Altydgedacht on her own after her husband died, with two small boys, and building up the farm and its wine, she was truly a remarkable public spirited person,” she said.

Parker was born in East London on 4 November 1924, and grew up in the Eastern Cape. She lost her father at age 12, and during her youth she and her brother spent many holidays on her widowed mother’s family farm in Stutterheim.

This included the Second World War years, when they became very close to their eight cousins, as several of the fathers were away on active service, and these relationships endured throughout their lives.

Parker attended school in Queenstown before going to Rhodes University, where she completed a degree in art and teaching.

She was on the student council and qualified in 1945. She then taught in Cape Town for a year before taking up a teaching post in Umtali (now Mutare, Zimbabwe) for a year. She returned to Cape Town in 1948 to further her studies at UCT, and met and married Denis Parker, whose family had been farming Altydgedacht since the 1850s.

Their two sons, John and Oliver (Ollo), were only 4 and 3 years old when their father died in a shooting accident in 1954 at age 29 years.

After his death there was pressure for the farm to be sold, but Jean decided to continue farming as her two sons may want to farm themselves one day.

“She said she was inspired by her late mo-

ther-in-law, Daisy, whose husband Ralph had died in 1939, and who farmed through the difficult war years as a young widow with three sons,” her son Ollo said.

Parker attended to the dairy and winemaking, while the farm manager looked after the vineyards, grain and sheep. In this she was assisted first by Tony Kamos and, for many years, by Hennie Heydenrych.

“Coming from the Eastern Cape, my mother had a particular love for cattle and was involved with day-to-day running of this until her late 80s,” Ollo says. Her sons joined her in the farming business in the late 1970s after studying at Stellenbosch and working on farms overseas.

Having no experience in wine, Parker took a short course in winemaking at Elsenburg Agricultural college and proceeded to make wine for many years on Altydgedacht.

The wine was initially sold to the Castle Wine and Brandy company, then to Monis of Paarl, who later took over Nederburg and bought the wine grapes instead of the finished wine.

Parker was one of the first women winemakers in South Africa, and it is widely acknowledged that cabernet sauvignon made by her on Altydgedacht, and her neighbour Phil Walker on Morgenster were used by George Spies in his highly acclaimed GS’66 and GS’68 – some of the most famous wines to come out of South Africa.

“My mother loved to sketch and paint watercolours, and there is a big selection of her sketches of the farm and her travels. She was an adventurous traveller and undertook journeys through Europe to Iran in the 1960s and Central America in the 1970s as well as extensively through Southern Africa in the 1980s and 90s with her long-time companion, Jack Inglis,” Ollo said.

“She was very good with people and loved children and youth. She was passionately

Jean Parker

interested in, and cared for, the staff on the farm. She loved fynbos and nature, and was instrumental in preserving pristine Renosterveld on the farm, and was involved in the Durbanville Nature Teserve too.”

Parker also loved heritage and history, and was a member of the Durbanville Heritage and the Vernacular Architecture societies.

“She will be sorely missed by the community,” Ollo said.

Besides her two sons, Parker had six grandchildren.

A memorial service will be held on Thursday 22 October on the farm, which will be live-streamed on Zoom.

Special fund opened after attack on family ESMÉ ERASMUS Amother left to bleed to death in an armed house robbery, which saw her, her husband and a family friend shot, believes she was saved due to the quick thinking and brave actions of her teenage son.

Madelaine de Bruin (46) believes it was a miracle her life was saved, while her son Felix (14) ascribes the role he played to lessons learnt in karate and scouting.

De Bruin, husband Dave (47), and a family friend, JJ Oberholzer (30) from Robertson, were shot in the early hours of Saturday 26 September at their home in Mikpunt (“Drie in huisrooftog by Mikpunt geskiet”, TygerBurger, 30 September).

Both De Bruin and Obergholzer had been discharged, but Dave, a manufacturer of children’s furniture, was still in the ICU at Tygerberg Hospital, after the bullet had missed his heart by millimetres. He had had three operations.

A BackaBuddy campaign has been raised to help pay the family’s medical bills and get through a period in which they have had no income.

It is believed the four robbers had come from the farms surrounding Mikpunt. They gained access through a sliding door on a balcony, cutting the blinds. “I realised later two of them must have sneaked past our bed to our friend’s bed­room, while the other two woke us up,” she said.

Also in the house were Felix and a friend, Jethro Keys (15). “They didn’t know about the boys,” De Bruin said, “we told them it was only us in the house.

“They came back with our friend, with his 9mm pistol to his head, which I assumed was lying next to his bed. The men were told to sit on the bed, in which I was half-lying.

“They asked my husband to open the safe, but when he got up from the bed they told him to sit down. This happened a few times and he argued with them how he could get to the safe without getting up.

“The leader then said, ‘do you know how

Madelaine de Bruin, who was shot in the stomach, and her son, Felix.

PHOTO: ESMÉ ERASMUS long I have been doing this . . . 10 years! Do you think I am joking?’ and shot a warning shot into the floor.”

They were also armed with a long screwdriver and a long kitchen knife (or panga).

“They were pulling all the plugs out of the sockets to cut the wires to tie us up with,” De Bruin said. “They even cut the sling of my handbag.”

Her husband and friend then decided to tackle the leader with the firearm. A scuffle ensued in which several shots were fired. JJ was shot in the left lung, the bullet travelling to his intestines, while Dave was shot in the upper chest and in his right wrist.

De Bruin then jumped out of bed and ran to the boys’ bedroom to tell them to jump through the window to get help.

Two robbers went after her and shot her in front of her son. She lost a lot of blood.

The robbers pulled her by her foot and arm in the direction of the safe.

“I told them I am dead now, they have killed me,” De Bruin said.

“They then dropped me on my side at the door. This saved my life, because by lying on my side the bleeding was stopped by the pressure of my tummy fat. That literally saved my life, the doctors say. If it weren’t for that I would have bled to death.”

Felix offered to find the safe keys for the robbers. When they all left together, friend Jethro, who was hiding under a blanket, saw his chance, jumped through the window and ran to neighbours for help.

According to Felix, he took the real safe key off the bunch of keys, put it on a shelf and handed the rest to the robbers, who hadn’t noticed anything.

While trying to open the safe with a gun held to his head, he told them he would look in the kitchen for the right key. On passing the balcony he slipped out the sliding door onto the balcony, then shut the sliding door.

The robbers could not get the door open, because it had gone off its tracks and got stuck.

“Another miracle,” De Bruin declared.

It was then the robbers saw two vehicles coming up the road, which were the vehicles of the neighbourhood watch. They then fled the scene with six cellphones, three laptops and the friend’s pistol.

Felix says his experience with karate and the scouts taught him to never to show fear and think ahead. “I anticipated all their moves and what they were going to do next,” he said.

“We are just grateful, so many things could have gone wrong,” his mom said.

But now the family is left with unforeseen medical expenses and repair costs to their house. They also need trauma counselling.

“Our family is displaced,” De Bruin said.

My son and I are staying with my mother in Eversdal now. There is also our loss of income, and my husband is still in ICU.” Her stepdaughter, Jennifer Gregory, registered a BackaBuddy fund to raise money for their expenses. It is hoped R150 000 will be raised.

TYGERBURGER 3

Boer van D’ville is hoof van Agri Wes-Kaap ESMÉ ERASMUS

’n

Boer van Durbanville gaan voortaan Agri Wes-Kaap as president lei.

Villiers Loubser (46), voorheen voorsitter van die algemene sakekamer van Agri Wes-Kaap, is verkies by die Agri WesKaap se aanlyn jaarkongres op Donderdag 15 Oktober.

Loubser, die derde geslag Loubsers wat op die plaas Altona naby Philadelphia boer, volg Cornie Swart op, wat sedert 2011 as president gedien het.

Swart het gesê hy is opgewonde om die leisels aan ’n relatief jong span oor te gee. “Julle neem ’n sterk en vooruitstrewende organisasie oor en ek is trots en gerus oor die hande wat nou die leisels gaan vashou. Ek weet julle verstaan die hart van die landbou en ek wens julle alle voorspoed toe,” het hy gesê.

Loubser volg in die voetspore van sy pa, Kosie Loubser, en oupa, Villiers Loubser, wat ook as president van Agri Wes-Kaap gedien het – sy pa vanaf 2008 tot 2011, en sy oupa vanaf 1957 tot 1960 en weer vanaf 1963 tot 1965.

“Georganiseerde landbou het ’n baie belangrike rol gespeel in die geskiedenis van die land en ook ’n baie belangrike rol te speel in die toekoms,” sê hy.

“Oor die jare het ons bewys dat om saam te werk met mekaar en met die owerhede van die dag, ’n baie beter toekoms vir elkeen van ons bewerkstellig het. Daar is geen manier wat ons kan bekostig dat ons uitmekaar spat en op ons eie dinge aanpak nie.

“Agri Wes-Kaap en Agri Suid-Afrika is nie burgerregte-organisasies nie, maar eerder landbou-beleidsorganisasies wat skouer skuur met die owerhede en beleidmakers van die land.

“Ons het ’n baie goeie samewerkingsverhouding met die owerhede. Ons beleef tans baie onstuimige tye weens die geweld wat op plase plaasvind en die situasie wat deur politieke opportuniste en sosiale media-‘vloggers’ uitgebuit word om hul eie agendas van rassespanning aan te hits. Dit is baie kortsigtig en onregverdig dat so ’n hartseer situasie misbruik word en waarskynlik meer skade doen as goed.

“Ek twyfel geensins dat die georganiseerde landbou hier ’n baie belangrike rol te speel het om gemoedere te kalmeer en met mekaar saam te werk om ’n baie beter uitkoms te probeer bewerkstellig nie.

“Dit is dan ook ons as Agri Wes-Kaap se rol om ons lede te bemagtig met die regte inligting om die regte besluite te kan neem.

“Verder werk ons daagliks saam met die

Tydens die opening sal eksemplare van Piérre se debuut-digbundel Vertrek, wat pas verskyn het, te koop wees. Die bundel het sy ontstaan ná die selfdood van sy seun vyf jaar gelede en handel oor die reis deur die landskap van rou en verlies.

Alle winste op die verkope van die bundel gaan aan die Ithemba-stigting, wat hom beywer vir bewusmaking van psigiese siektes soos depressie en ook finansiële bystand verleen aan navorsingstudies oor psigiese siektes.

“Oktobermaand is Geestesgesondheidsbewusmakingsmaand en die bundel se verskyning ondersteun hierdie sensitiewe veldtog. Die bundel het groot aftrek gekry by die onlangse bekendstelling daarvan in Worcester en by die Breytenbachsentrum in Wellington,” sê Van Niekerk.

Skrywer van Welgedacht reik nuwe boeke uit RICHARD ROBERTS @richardjohn_rj

D

ie skrywer dr. Elizabeth Wasserman van Welgedacht het pas haar jongste heruitgawe in die gewilde kinderboekreeks, Speurhond Willem, uitgereik.

Die boek, ’n omnibus in dié verhaalreeks, heet Die Avonture van Speurhond Willem.

Haar splinternuwe boek, Speurhond Willem in Australië, is ook in Augustus gepubliseer.

Elizabeth, ’n patoloog en voorheen ’n buitengewone professor in die afdeling geneeskundige mikrobiologie aan die Universiteit Stellenbosch, sê sy wou nog altyd boeke skryf.

TygerBurger het by die skrywer uitgevind waar haar belangstelling in die skryf van kinderboeke en boeke vir jongmense begin het.

“Ek wou nog altyd graag skryf. Soos alle kinders was ek mal oor stories, en boeke was belangrik in die huis waarin ek grootgeword het.

“Ná skool moes ek kies hoe ek te werk kon gaan om hierdie droom te bewaarheid. Ek het die doelgerigte besluit geneem om eers die wêreld te verken, sodat ek iets kan hê om oor te skryf.

“Terugskouend was dit nie so ’n dom idee nie. Ek het immers self baie avonture beleef en nou is dit lekker om reisverhale vir kinders en jongmense te skryf, met ’n goeie skeut aksie en soms ’n knertsie wetenskap.

Want die wetenskap is beter as towerkuns,” verduidelik sy.

Winter Ferment steeds op oorwinningspad ESMÉ ERASMUS Skaars was die drukkersink op TygerBurger droog of die Diemersdal-wynlandgoed raap nóg ’n prys op met sy reeds veelbekroonde Diemersdal Winter Ferment Sauvignon Blanc 2020.

Boonop het Diemersdal vanjaar ’n driekuns behaal toe dié wyn die derde agtereenvolgende jaar as een van die wenners van die 2020 Sauvignon Blanc SA Top-10-kompetisie aangekondig is. Dit het plaasgevind tydens ’n virtuele toekenningsgeleentheid op Woensdag 14 Oktober.

TygerBurger het verlede week berig oor die trofee wat die wyn ontvang het vir beste sauvignon blanc-wyn in vanjaar se Michelangelo International Wine & Spirits Awards (“Diemersdal ryg pryse in vir sy wyn” TygerBurger, 14 Oktober).

Winter Ferment is ’n unieke sauvignon blanc-wyn in die opsig dat dit gemaak word van druiwe wat in Februarie geoes en gepars is, en die sap dan vir vier maande ge-

FROM PAGE 1 Dr Glynis Denicker, who works at the Department of Health and is a member of Can BK, was working throughout the lockdown period with the contact tracing team.

“During the peak it was overwhelming and there was no way of coping or self-care,” she said. We barely slept during the peak and we were fielding calls all through the night from people with no food, people who couldn’t access the ambulance and grieving people. We were in response mode.”

Signs to look out for if you are a volunteer headed for burnout include losing enthusiasm for your volunteer work or avoiding it, being irritable or cranky with other volunteers or other people, physical, mental or emotional exhaustion, and feeling helpless as if one is not doing anything worthwhile.

Sandra Mess, who serves from her kitchen, says: “God gives me inner strength. He gives me so much joy to make the food and share it with the elderly and children. People come late at night for bread. I will never let them turn around empty handed.”

vries is voor fermentasie plaasvind.

Sedert die eerste oesjaar in 2017 het die wyn al verskeie pryse gewen – onder meer in die FNB Top-10-Sauvignon Blanc-kompetisie, asook die Sauvignon Blanc-trofee by die Nasionale Jongwynskou.

Vanjaar se kampioenwyne in die Sauvignon Blanc SA Top-10-kompetisie van Sauvignon Blanc Suid-Afrika – die enigste kompetisie wat net aan die kultivar sauvignon blanc toegewy is – kom uit sewe verskillende streke.

Die ander wenners is: Alvi’s Drift Sauvignon Blanc Reserve 2020; Cilmor Limited Edition Sauvignon Blanc 2019; Ghost Corner Wild Ferment Sauvignon Blanc 2018; Iona Elgin Highlands Wild Ferment Sauvignon Blanc 2019; Kleine Zalze Family Reserve Sauvignon Blanc 2019; Ormonde Chip Off The Old Block Sauvignon Blanc 2019; Paul Cluver Sauvignon Blanc 2019; Stark-Condé Round Mountain Sauvignon Blanc 2019 en Stellenbosch Vineyards Southern View Sauvignon Blanc 2020.

“Vanjaar sal onthou word as ’n tyd om sáám te staan en almal wat ingeskryf het, kan dus met reg trots wees op hul prestasie,” sê RJ Botha, Sauvignon Blanc SA se voorsitter, in die verklaring.

“In hierdie uitdagende tye is dit ’n voorreg om Suid-Afrikaanse sauvignon blanc wêreldwyd te kan vier as ons land se topverkoper. Ons sien opwindende innovasie in styl en geurprofiele, én diversiteit in oorsprong met drie Top-10-wenners uit Stellenbosch, twee uit Elgin, en een elk uit Breederivier, Elim, Worcester, Durbanville en Darling,” sê hy.

Vanjaar se beoordelaarspaneel het bestaan uit dr. Winifred Bowman, Kaapse wynmeester en sameroeper van die paneel, die keldermeester Charles Hopkins van De Grendel, die wynbeoordelaar en -skrywer Fiona McDonald en die wynmaker Rüdger van Wyk van Stark-Condé Wyne.

BK volunteers related how as a group they coped with this difficult period and saw their way through it – the key here being self-care. “Allow yourself some time to rest without feeling guilty,” says Thandeka Xaba Peterson.

“What works for me is setting a cooking schedule. It’s also good to take a week’s break, especially round Sassa week, to recuperate and spend time with family,” says Ocasia Booysen. “It’s all about maintaining balance.”

Denicker started doing Christian meditation on Youtube at dawn and joined an online healing dance class. Just doing activities and hobbies that I enjoy helps me cope,” she said.

“It’s difficult to switch off, so I have to focus my mind on other relaxing activities. I love gardening, being creative like doing decoupage or I take a drive,” says Jeanine Erasmus. “My relaxation is also being productive.”

Benita Thomas says volunteering can be overwhelming, empowering and humbling at the same time. “We do take a day off once

a month, but your mind is so occupied with preparing your next feed that there is no time to really think about getting tired,” she says. “That is why we have to talk with one another and work together.”

Seeing the smiling faces is the reason why Delia Stephens joined as a volunteer. “It’s so heart warming. We are in this for a reason and being part of a network who is making a difference in people’s life one plate at a time, is beyond awesome.”

Hendricks says it is often the best volunteers that are most prone to burn-out and volunteer fatigue. “They are so dedicated they often fail to take mental health breaks,” she says. “Good volunteers are hard to come by, so it is important for organisations to make sure the volunteers are taking care of themselves – even when they do not feel the need to. Love and compassion are at the core of our human strengths, without them we cannot survive.

“It is important to remember this when it comes to your own health – both mentally and physically. Be kind to yourself and one another.”

Book to inspire tolerance BRENDEN RUITER @ruitervaniewind

T

wo members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, and questioning (LGBTIQ) community joined forces to write a book of poetry portraying the struggles these marginalised people face daily.

George Willemse and Milicent van Wyhe’s book L.G.B.T., Leer goue bietjie tolerance is currently on sale on Takealot.com.

Willemse says the book started unexpectedly. “One day my father and I were watching a movie,” he related, “and suddenly I just decided to type a poem about how proud I am being gay and living in a small town like Sutherland. As I was typing, I just got so inspired by my own experiences and the things I have dealt with in my life, and still I came out okay in the end. The poem is called “Sitterland se trotse moffie”. I then posted the poem on Facebook, and I received a lot of likes and a lot of positive comments.”

He says Van Wyhe saw the poem and approached him. “She asked if I would like to write more poems, and then maybe publish it, and I thought why not? So over a weekend I wrote more than seven poems, because I was so excited. The idea that I can inspire someone else who is going through the same stuff I went through motivated me. For me every gay or lesbian goes through the same thing of coming out to their family, and that for me it is the hardest part of it all. Because you never know whether you will be accepted or rejected by your family and friends.

You don’t know whether the community will accept you, especially me, because I live in a small town, and we all know how some people can be in a small town. But they accepted me with open arms. While being gay

Milicent van Wyhe wrote a book about tolerance with her friend. has its ups and downs, at the end of the day it is what you make of it, whether you get up and stand tall when you fall.”

Van Wyhe says she has been writing poetry all her life.

“Writing about my experiences as a member of the LGBT community has always been my coping method,” she said. “So when I saw George’s poem “Sitterland se moffie” I knew we had to collaborate and share our stories with as many people as we possibly can. As a member of the LGBT community I have gone through my fair share of looks, dislike, rejection, discrimination, but the one that stands out is that I had to leave the church I grew up in once I came out of the closet.

“Thankfully I found an open and welcoming church, the Good Hope Metropolitan Community Church. They are all-inclusive, and I am able to serve God just the way I am. Thankfully we live in a country where LGBT rights are upheld, where we can live and love freely.”

According to van Wyhe she put a lot of pressure on George.

“I told him I could see he had a raw talent, and that he had one month to write 10 great poems for me, and he rose to the occasion as the brilliant writer he is. You know the saying “the pen is mightier than the sword”? I am hoping we don’t need to keep fighting for a place in our communities. I hope that what we’ve written will open some hearts.”

The book is available on Takealot.com at R200.

‘Spertyd’ debuteer by Die Boer Sandra Prinsloo is te sien in die debuutproduksie Spertyd by Die Boer-teaterrestaurant in Durbanville van Dinsdag 3 tot Sondag 8 November.

Philip Rademeyer het die teks verwerk van Elsa Joubert se outobiografiese boek oor oudword vir die produksie, wat deur Margit Meyer-Rödenbeck en Alexa Strachan vervaardig is.

Die produksie was bestem vir vanjaar se Aardklop-kunstefees, wat dit ook ondersteun het, maar weens die pandemie debuteer dit nou in die Kaap, sê Margit.

“Spertyd is ’n reis deur die kontinent van die ouderdom. Joubert is op 14 Junie midde-in die Covid-19-pandemie oorlede.

“Kort voor haar afsterwe het sy die teksverwerking gelees, en was sy opgewonde oor Prinsloo se vertolking van haar lewensverhaal. Die karakter kyk op 95-jarige ouderdom terug op haar vol lewe – van haar kinderjare, haar huwelik, tot waar sy as weduwee in ’n aftreeoord

woon. Die herinneringe daag bloot op, soos wat herinneringe maar doen.”

Rademeyer sê die eerste lees van Spertyd het hom diep geraak – ‘‘nie net die insigte wat Elsa Joubert oor ’n verskeidenheid onderwerpe lewer nie, maar veral die eerlike en weerlose manier waarmee sy met intieme temas soos oudword, die dood en verlies omgaan. Spertyd is meesleurend, beeldskoon, hartverskeurend en soms ook regtig snaaks.’’

Hy sê die stuk het sy oë oopgemaak oor dinge wat hy (as relatiewe jongmens) as vanselfsprekend aanvaar, soos beweeglikheid, geheue, die sintuie en kommunikasie.

“Een van die deurlopende temas van Spertyd is die waarde van medemenslikheid en deernis – dis ’n gevoel wat ons tydens repetisies ervaar,” sê Rademeyer.

Ouerbegeleiding word aanbeveel.

New equipment for fire season T

he City of Cape Town’s Fire and Rescue Service is gearing up for the upcoming fire season, for it has introduced the new Rosenbauer Metz Turntable Ladder L56.

The display ceremony took place at the Epping Training Academy on Thursday 15 October.

In the previous financial year the service took delivery of 99 vehicles, including four 56-metre, heavy-duty mobile aerial firefighting/rescue lift turntable ladders.

A statement explains that the appliances are able to rescue 18 people at a time from a 22-storey building within 12 minutes

through its lift system. They are also equipped with firefighting equipment and a cage to assist in extinguishing fires in high rise buildings.

Other vehicles acquired include water tankers, rescue vehicles and those used for the fire and a life safety section. In this financial year the service will receive an additional 34 vehicles, including foam tankers. “The fire and rescue service does so much more than fight fires. Over time it has evolved into a fully-fledged emergency service, responding to a wide range of calls including hazardous materials incidents, motor vehicle accidents, trauma and as-

sault cases, structural collapse incidents, water rescues and even rescuing persons trapped in lifts during power outages.

“As a growing city we need to ensure our resources are up to scratch,” the City’s Mayco member for safety and security, JP Smith, pointed out, “and that’s why we have made this investment in our fire and rescue service, to help it deal effectively with the thousands of calls received every year. It has been a long, hard road, and there is much more work to be done, but we will keep investing in our safety and security directorate as best we can.”

The service is also finalising recruit-

ment of just over 100 seasonal firefighters, a fixture on the calendar between December and April, to assist with the large number of vegetation fires that occur.

Smith explained: “Each year, thousands of hopefuls attend our seasonal firefighting trials, but lockdown this year has made us take a different approach. So to ensure we have boots on the ground in time for deployment the fire service has reached out to previous seasonal firefighters to check on their availability and willingness. They lend a helping hand to their permanent colleagues on the front lines, and I thank those heeding the call in unprecedented times.”

Local youth on stage at jazz fest T

he Artscape Youth Jazz Festival goes live on Friday 23 October at 18:00 to 20:00 on Fine Music Radio 101.3fm and on Monday 26 October at 10:00 on the Artscape You Tube channel.

Dozens of talented musicians, 27 years or younger, from across the Western Cape responded to the call to submit online audition videos for this year’s edition of the Artscape Youth Jazz Festival.

This year the jazz masterclasses were open to every artist who had auditioned.

Kara Snethlage (24), guitarist from Sunningdale.

The festival’s director, Amanda Tiffin, said: “The level of playing and performance was outstanding, so it was very difficult to choose only a few.”

The masterclasses took place online in September. It comprised a class for each instrument given by industry professionals, plus several workshops about the business of music.

Those selected for the performance recordings in October also participated in song writing sessions, rehearsals and the final performance. They were mentored through this process by Tiffin and a team of jazz-industry professionals.

The Artscape Youth Jazz Festival was launched in 2003 with a view to democratising the arts in South Africa.

Artscape CEO Marlene le Roux said the focus of the programme has remained dedicated to providing skills development. ‘‘This enables young jazz musicians to take the experience forward into their careers and educate others in the process.”

This year’s performers are Chante Phillips (26, drums) from Athlone, Kara Snethlage (24, guitar) from Sunningdale, Aphiwe Faleni (19, vocals) from Nyanga, Joshua Barnes (24, vocals) from Milnerton Rural, Lebohang Banda (27, vocals) from Gugulethu, Lerato Skhosana (23, piano) from Table View, Lezaam Beets (19, trombone) from Plumstead, Manasse Kitanda (24, guitar) from Cravenby, Nick Ford (17, bass) from Newlands, Robin Castle (21, vocals) from Ottery, Dillon Manley (19, tenor saxophone) from Pinelands, Tefo Mahola (26, drums) from Gugulethu, Joshua Nemaire (20, bass guitar) from Rosebank, and Joshua Wheatley (19, piano) from Southfield.

Library a hub of activity “Welcome back to Parow Library; we have missed you…”

This simple sentence is so powerful.

As libraries and librarians, we constantly advocate the importance of our profession and the services we offer.

With the easing of the national lockdown restrictions, we have seen firsthand how much the public has longed for the library.

What we quickly realised is that the library is far more than just a building we operate in, or the books we have on our shelves. The library is a community meeting point, a hub of information and social interaction. Perhaps we already knew this but needed a global pandemic to remind us.

However, the lockdown period has not only been doom and gloom for Parow Library. The lack of patrons has allowed us the opportunity to effectively shelf read, weed out unusable books and rearrange some furniture – things we generally only have a few hours to do each month.

We have also been given the opportunity to meet as a team almost daily to address concerns or issues, offer each other support, as well as explore innovative ways of connecting with the public.

Having already reshaped our social media interactions, it has been easy for us to adapt and As easing lockdown make use of our regulations see a slow library’s Facebook reopening of libraries, page to stay connected with our Parow Library staff patrons. And, since Jacinta Avontuur reopening for and Marvin Williams limited services share their experience (we offer a drop and collect service), of running a library our Facebook posts under lockdown and how they survived the with the highest engagements have library’s greatest included those challenge yet: how to demonstrating the remain relevant while process of returnphysically unavailable. ing or collecting books, our “Parow Library windowshopping experience”, how to visit the library, and the frequently asked questions about our limited service offering.

Two of our most successful social media posts – demonstrating the drop-off/ collection service and the Parow Library Jerusalema challenge – reached 15 000 users. Not bad for a library! We’ve also seen posts involving library staff hover at about 2 200 interactions. Of course, realistically the level of engagement our Facebook posts garner does not reflect the amount of foot traffic we would normally have. Still, the goal of our social media pages has always been to supplement our face to face interactions, never to replace them.

We have also been able to introduce a “surprise bundle” for young primary schoolchildren where we put together a package of 10 books based on their age and reading level; author comparisons (who writes like whom) to assist with digital browsing as well as keep the public connected with the staff.

“Necessity is the mother of invention.”

This anonymous quote sums up the mindset of Parow Library since the staff returned to work in July. We have been forced to adapt to change, to prove ourselves relevant in these times. For the most part, we would like to think that we have been successful in this regard.

That said, we are looking forward to the day when we can open our doors and resume operating as normal. Despite traditionally being a quiet place, a library is only really brought to life when it is humming with the sounds of the people it serves.

V Nal’ibali, the national reading-for-enjoyment campaign is offering library staff nationwide the opportunity to complete a free online reading-forenjoyment training course – at no data cost. The short course will help librarians set up a regular reading club or story hour, engage reluctant readers and make informed choices about children’s books.

Rondom my is 10 honde wat dag en nag blaf – beslis langer as die ses minute wat toegelaat word, maar wie gaan optree as ek kla?

Die eienaars is blafdoof en neem nooit hul honde na parke vir oefening nie. Hoe hulle kan weet wanneer daar werklik iemand oortree, weet nugter. Die een groep honde sit die ander aan die gang tot ’n kakofonie van rumoer ontstaan. Honde is veronderstel om net hul eie erwe op te pas; nie die hele straat nie! Maak toe voor!

Allermins besef inwoners dat ons almal in “skoenbokse” woon sonder deksels met mensgemaakte, vertikale grense daartussen.

Elke ding wat oor hierdie grens strek, is indringing op jou bure se privaatheid.

Takke en blare wat oorhang of oorval, die geskel van die buurvrou, harde musiek, die alewige gefluit van sosiale media van verslaafdes, geraas en honde wat blaf, is almal irritasies.

Maak skoon ons luggolwe, dan sal daar veel meer vrede tussen bure wees.

INWONER Bellville

Yes, bring back the wildflowers My answer to Ronelle Shuttleworth’s question regarding bringing wildflowers back (“Bring back wildflowers”, TygerBurger, 14

October”) is a big yes!

Years ago in Onrust, Uys Krige was also passionate about not cutting all the grassy areas until summer had truly arrived and as a result we had beautiful displays of flowers all over the place during Spring time.

I’ve been following this approach on the sidewalks around my house in Loevenstein and it is looking great right now.

DAVID CLUVER, Loevenstein

I can’t agree more about wildflowers With reference to the letter

by Ronelle Shuttleworth (“Bring wildflowers back”, TygerBurger, 14 October) regarding the cutting of grass in urban spaces, I can’t agree more.

I am also a plant lover, although on a much smaller scale.

I remember my shock a couple of years ago when I noticed how the municipality upgraded the middle section of the road below Tyger Valley Shopping Centre. For many years I drove past there on my way to work, and each year the indigenous Spring flowers were spectacular.

Well, not any longer. I grew up in a little village on the West Coast, and the best time of year was when the Spring flowers came out.

I presume the indigenous plants being used are not indigenous, yet I appreciate the immense effort a certain gentleman by the name of Wouter Kruidenier has undertaken to beautify the roads in the Durbanville area.

Next time you drive down Durban Road, have a look at the vygies in full bloom.

Simply beautiful.

Waar kom dassie vandaan?

Kan iemand vir my sê waar op dees aarde ’n dassie in Durbanville vandaan sal kom?

Ja, in Sonstraalhoogte in Durbanville is op 8 Oktober ’n dassie, wat op die oog af in ’n goeie toestand was, vinnig deur my tuintjie – te vinnig vir ’n kamera.

Nee, ek misgis my nie. Ek het teen die hange van die Langeberge in die Koo in Montagu saam met hulle grootgeword en ken hulle goed. Hulle woon in die skeure van steil kranse. Die probleem is net dat daar nie sulke kranse naby ons is nie.

Nou waar sou dié een vandaan kom en waarheen was hy op pad?

ADAMUS P. STEMMET, Durbanville

Maak sypaadjie self skoon Aan die Brackenfell-klaers: mense, maar julle kan kla.

Is dit nie dalk omdat julle al die jare bederf was deurdat julle voorkeur gekry het teenoor ander gebiede nie?

Wees redelik. Daar was en is nog ’n inperking oor die hoeveelheid mense wat saam by die werk mag wees weens Covid-19. Dit geld ook vir die mense met die grassnyers. Dit neem tyd vir die munisipaliteit om in te haal.

In elk geval voel ek dat alle eienaars (van eiendom) of inwoners self hul gedeelte van die sypaadjies en randstene kan skoon hou.

Dis tog vir hul eie beswil om in ’n skoon omgewing te bly. Tel sommer die plastiek wat rondwaai ook op en herwin dit.

As die eienaars dit doen, sal daar baie meer geld vir die munisipaliteit wees om die hoofstrate skoon te hou. En,

dit tel ook vir die laerinkomstegroepe wat net mors en niks skoonhou nie. Hulle moet selfrespek kry.

IRENE Kraaifontein

Kla help niks nie Om aan te sluit by verlede week en voorverlede week se briewe van Brackenfell-inwoners wat betref vuil sypaadjies, wil ek ook sê dat in die vyf jaar vandat ek en my gesin daarheen verhuis het, het Brackenfell net agteruit gegaan. Kla help niks!

In die singel waar ons bly, sny ek self die gras, want dis twee keer in die vyf jaar deur die munisipaliteit gedoen.

Ek het ook selfs gif gekoop om die onkruid te bespuit.

Het die mense aan die stuur van sake dan geen trots nie, of is die reusagtige salarisse wat hulle ontvang, al wat saak maak?

FERNDALE-INWONER Brackenfell

Sorg vir jou erf Twee briewe, “Sypaadjies is vieslik” en “Bekwame bestuur kort in B’fell” verwys.

Ek stem heeltemal saam met die skrywers, maar daar is nog ’n aanbeveling wat gedoen kan word.

Ek bly in ’n systraat wat uitdraai in Buitekantstraat.

As ek kyk na party mense se erwe by hul grensmure, skaam ek my ook. Dat daar altyd mense in ’n buurt is wat dink ag, ons los dit vir die munisipaliteit, maak my siek.

Wat kan dit nou vat of kos om jou erf buite gou te sny of te laat sny? Ons mense se denke verbaas my soms.

Die munisipaliteit kan ook nie orals tegelyk wees nie.

Sorg vir jou erf en rondom.

Het julle geen skaamte nie?

Light on the horizon for club rugby S

A Rugby advised amateur clubs, universities, associate members and schools on Thursday that its Covid-19 Committee (CovCom) had approved a proposal to allow teams to return to training under certain strict conditions, although a return to play will not be permitted in 2020.

The resumption of amateur rugby training follows the gazetting of new regulations on sport by the Department of Basic Education and of Sport, Arts and Culture (DSAC).

“In the past couple of weeks, DSAC has permitted several sports to allow their amateur constituents to return to training and

match play,” said Jurie Roux, CEO of SA Rugby.

He referred to a DSAC statement released earlier this month which states athletes, support staff and officials involved in non-professional sport do not have to undergo Covid-19 testing before returning to training, but only had to ensure that a robust screening system was in place for training to commence.

“They do not have to submit their operational return to training plans to the minister for approval,” Roux pointed out. “We decided to approve the resumption of training for SA Rugby and the provincial union elite player develop-

ment programmes, rugby at amateur and community clubs and for associations affiliated to provincial unions and SA Rugby, but on certain strict conditions.”

These include, among other things, financial considerations, control measures to curb the transmission of the virus as well as adherence to requirements of the SA Rugby return to train and play guidelines for amateur rugby. The rules are required to be enforced by provincial unions.

All rugby bodies have been instructed to follow the “Integrated Return to Training” framework as an injury mitigation strategy.

It requires four weeks of fitness and strength training, followed by four weeks of gradual integration of contact rugby skills.

A set of guidelines will be circulated to all teams wishing to return to training through their provincial unions.

These will include signing indemnification and declaration of health forms, the appointment of a compliance officer, registration of all players, officials and staff on a club data base, screening and education of players, officials and staff, cleaning and sanitation of training venues, apparel and facilities, and to ensure no spectators

are permitted at training or matches.

SA Rugby also advised that amateur rugby matches will not be permitted to take place for the remainder of 2020, and teams may only start competitive action with the commencement of the 2021 rugby season.

However, non-contact rugby, such as TAG or Touch Rugby, can resume once the four weeks of fitness and strength training have been concluded.

Advice on the resumption of competitive play at community level will be confirmed in due course.

Local karters star on home track The South African National Rotax Max Challenge karting championship wrapped up at Killarney on Saturday 17 October.

Jurie Swart won three DD2 heats to take the day from fellow Capetonians Sebastian Boyd and race 2 winner, Jason Coetzee.

Double winner on the day, Bishop did enough to wrap up the SA title in the process.

He also takes the Senior tickets to Portugal’s “Olympics of Karting”. There was a turn-up for the books when Cape Town’s 2019 SA champion, Troy Dolinschek raced his first national of the season.

He proceeded to take a dominant, but hard-earned four-win u.15 junior max victory for the day.

Joaquin de Oliveira stormed to four straight wins over Troy Snyman and Reza Levy each time in

the u-13 Mini Max category.

Yet another local lad, Reese Koorzen, came out on top of a close three-way fight to take u-11 Micro Max for the day. He beat Jozi visitors Mohammed Moerat and Caleb Odendaal. That was not enough to prevent Odendaal from swiping the championship to claim that ticket to Portugal. Jack Moore won two races in a magnificent day of baby Bambino racing to take the day from race 3 winner Rafael da Silva and final heat victor MJ Thekiso.

That was good enough for the latest scion of the Moss racing dynasty, Caleb to take SA’s youngest 2020 racing championship.

WP-krieket begin laat K

lubkrieket in die Westelike Provinsie sal hierdie somer beslis eers in Januarie begin, het die WP-krieketvereniging (WPKV) einde verlede week aangekondig.

Onder normale omstandighede sou die eerste reeks klubwedstryde die afgelope naweek begin het.

Maar weens die huidige viruspandemie was daar aanvanklik sprake dat klubwedstryde teen Desember aan die gang sou kom.

Die WPKV-ampsdraers het egter gevoel Desember is ’n vakansiebelaaide maand en dat dit raadsaam is om weens Covid-19 liefs groter veiligheid vir die spelers te verseker.

In die komende maande sal alle spelers ’n reeks werksessies moet bywoon om hulle vertroud te maak met die voorsorgmaatreëls vir die voorseisoense oefeninge en latere

wedstryde.

Aangesien die 2020-21-somer nou net ’n “halwe krieketseisoen” teweeg gaan bring, sal die kompetisiestrukture noodwendig afwyk van hoe dit in die verlede was.

Om soveel wedstryde as moontlik in die oorblywende deel van die somer ingepas te kry, is daar selfs ’n moontlikheid dat klubwedstryde tot in April sal duur.

Durbanville, Bellville, Universiteit van Wes-Kaapland en Brackenfell is die Tygerbergse verteenwoordigers in die Premierliga, terwyl Tygerberg, Kraaifontein, Milnerton, Edgemead, Kuilsrivier en Noordelikes-Goodwood in die eerste liga uitdraf.

Intussen is nog niks verneem oor skolekrieket in die komende somer nie, maar dit word verwag dat die eerste wedstryde in Februarie sal begin. – Sarel Burger
