Return of ‘The R5 meals’ The Shoprite group has re-introduced its R5 deli meals having subsidised more than 150 million meals since inception in 2017. The group has further subsidised its 600g in-house baked bread which remains at R4.99 since 2016. Stores sold 63 million R4.99 bread loaves in the past financial year. The group says with the effects of the pandemic on unemployment, increased hunger and food insecurity plagues vulnerable communities. The meal is the group’s effort to make sure that someone with just R5 in their pocket can afford to eat a hot meal.

SOPHIA TOWN: ELECTRICITY DILEMMA

City to meet stakeholders BRENDEN RUITER @ruitervaniewind

T

he City of Cape Town will be convening meetings with relevant stakeholders to find lasting solutions for the demands by residents from the Sophia Town informal settlement close to Blackheath.

TygerBurger reported earlier this year how residents from nearby Highbury Park are bumping heads with residents of Sophia Town because of illegal electricity connections. It went so far that violent riots took place.

After months of going back and forth between the different parties, the City released a statement last week on the way forward.

“The City of Cape Town’s electrification programme management department submitted a permission request letter for Sofia

Town informal settlement to the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (Prasa) in 2018, but no response has been received in this regard.

“Letters to other private owners were submitted in November 2019.

“No formal response was received from the owners, but emails from them indicated that they do not support electrification on their properties.

“Without the approval of the landowners, the settlement cannot be serviced,” reads the statement, credited to the City’s Mayco member for energy and climate change, Phindile Maxiti.

Sophia Town is an informal settlement, situated in the Blackheath area that spans across Wards 14 (subcouncil 22), 19 and 108 (subcouncil 21) and is located within the Eskom supply area.

MINI-MARK

A recent count conducted yielded a total of 511 informal dwellings in Sophia Town.

This count and personal information of the occupants recorded will be verified by means of a follow-up enumeration to be done by the City’s informal settlements management officiaelels, with the support of the current committee.

“The major dilemma faced in terms of the continuous overload of Eskom’s current infrastructure in supplying power to the Sunbird Park and Hagley formal areas is as a result of these 511 households that are illegally drawing power from the existing Eskom network.

“Electrification to these informal dwellers will therefore not only stop the network overload but will also illuminate the safety risk that exists due to these illegal connections – not to mention the damage caused by

vandalism,’’ says Maxiti.

Mayco member for urban management, Grant Twigg, says the City, through its urban management directorate, is convening a series of meetings with all stakeholders to find a lasting solution that will not only assist in the development of the area, but also put less strain on the existing resources within that community.

“Information sessions will also be conducted with the community and committee on future plans through our subcouncils and public participation unit,” says Twigg.

Rudie Cookson, a community leader from Highbury Park, says he welcomes the development, but he has heard it all before.

“Meetings upon meetings and nothing is being done. We as law-abiding citizens, who pay our taxes, just want the illegal connections to stop,” says Cookson.

Polisieman vas ná ‘korrupsie’ ’n Polisieman verbonde aan die polisiekantoor in Bellville-Suid is Vrydag in hegtenis geneem nadat hy hom glo aan korrupsie skuldig gemaak het.

Hy het na bewering ingestem om in ruil vir R300 dagga en ’n selfoon na die selle te neem.

Volgens kapt. FC van Wyk, die provinsiale polisiewoordvoerder, het hulle die verdagte (37) in ’n lokval vasgetrek. ’n Lid van die teenkorrupsie-eenheid het die polisieman met die geld en sy versoek genader. Toe die verdagte instem en die geld ontvang, is hy in hegtenis geneem.

“Die dagga, selfoon en gemerkte geld is by hom gevind,” sê Van Wyk. Die verdagte het Maandag in die Bellvillelanddroshof verskyn.

Dit is nie die eerste keer dat die polisiekantoor in Bellville-Suid in die nuus is weens korrupsie nie.

In 2018 is ’n konstabel (34) deur die Valke in hegtenis geneem nadat hy glo 18 vuurwapens in 2017 gesteel het. – Nielen de Klerk

Attempted murder up in WC DESIRÉE RORKE @dezzierore Attempted murder cases in the Western Cape have surged upwards with 9% with 1 097 cases between July and September 2020, according to the second quarterly crime statistics released by the South African Police Service. The numbers contained are compared in percentile to the same quarter in the previous year.

Kraaifontein (59), Elsies River (39), Delft, (35) and Mfuleni (32) all feature in the national top 30 police precincts for this crime.

With 752 incidents, house robberies saw an increase of 8.4% with 58 cases more than in

the same quarter last year. Again Kraaifontein (41), Delft (38) and Mfuleni (30) reached the top 30 list for this crime countrywide.

Truck hijackings too saw an increase of 33.3% with 12 more incidents bringing the total for the quarter to 48; and carjackings a slight decrease of 3.3% with 838 incidents.

Delft (59) and Philippi East (59) were both listed in the top 30. The murder rate saw a slight decline of 0.9% with 1 013 murders in the province. Both Delft (57) and Kraaifontein (38) topped the red list, with a 31% decline in Delft, but a 58% increase in Kraaifontein. House robberies increased by 8.4% with 752 cases and break-ins declined by 10% with 2 578 cases.

Minister for community safety in the province Albert Fritz, said a five-year analysis shows that provincially murder cases increased by 25.7% (207) from 806 in 2016/17 to 1 013 in quarter 2 of 2020/21 financial year whilst nationally it increased by 4.2% (207), from 4 900 in quarter 2 of 2016/17 to 5 107 for the same period. However, there was a decrease in the last two years – owing largely to the Operation Lockdown in gang affected precincts in 2019 and the Covid lockdown in 2020. Additionally, the top 10 police stations in the province accounted for 48.5% of murders in the second quarter of 2020/21 and murders in these 10 stations increased by 2.1%.

‘Look out for criminals’ when shopping NIELEN DE KLERK @nielendk The safest way of spending money during Black Friday is by shopping online, a security expert says.

Hennie Groenewald, spokesperson of Bassett Security, says this would help curb the spread of Covid-19.

Yet, there’s definitely been a rise in the families and shoppers who are out and about, says Charnel Hattingh, head of marketing and communications for Fidelity Services Group.

Unfortunately the rejuvenation of inperson shopping also means that criminals have returned, waiting for easy pickings.

Reasons and tips Hattingh and Groenewald give the following reasons for increased crime and tips to prevent it: . “There are a lot of people in one area which makes it easy for them to disappear into the crowd once they have stolen your handbag or shoplifted,” Hattingh says. . “Women with children are often distracted,” Hattingh says. Once they turn away from their trolleys with their handbags, albeit for only two seconds, a criminal has enough time to pounce. . Criminals blend in. “Women use children to steal cellphones, handbags and the likes, especially in restaurants where they are ‘innocently’ waiting to be ser-

ved,” Hattingh says. After committing the crime they easily join the busy crowd again and blend in. . There are many ATM machines where The “good Samaritans” who offer to help when the ATM is suddenly giving trouble are actually helping themselves to your bank card and pin. “Before you know it, thousands could be withdrawn from your account,” Hattingh says. . “Parking areas are large, offering criminals a chance to sit in a car and identify their next target without looking suspicious. This could be a woman alone or with children or an elderly person,” Hattingh says. . It is easy to sit in a car and remote jam cars. Always check your car is in fact locked before walking away. Groenewald emphasises this means physically feeling the car’s door with your hand to see whether it is locked. . It is easy to follow someone who is going to deposit or withdraw a large amount of money at a bank in a mall without them realising it. . Hattingh says shoppers are generally careless with their valuables – “handbags hung over chairs at restaurants, cellphones on the table, etc.

A criminal will not hesitate to grab your belongings and be gone in a matter of seconds”. Groenewald says shoppers should also keep valuables in cars out of sight, or better, out of the car. Don’t walk with your cellphone in your bag or in your pocket,

he adds. . According to Hattingh most people don’t notice what’s going on around them.

“Always take note of your surroundings, especially when you are walking back to your car. Check where the car guard or a security guard is and signal for help immediately if you are suddenly approached by a stranger.” Groenwald says to keep an eye out for any suspicious vehicles parked close to your car – this can help prevent a robbery. . Another disturbing trend is when criminals dress up as beggars or hawkers as people are used to them, Hattingh explains.

“Criminals are masters of disguise and will use any means possible to get what they want. Do not speak to strangers and if anyone is making you feel uncomfortable, go to a security guard and report them.” . Masks are a problem. As everyone, including criminals, need to wear a mask, be extra cautious about the people around you. . Groenewald says if you need to go out, try to do all your shopping at once and don’t spread out your shopping spree over multiple days and trips.

This will reduce the number of times you may encounter criminals.

Hattingh says: “Remain on guard at all times while shopping, be aware of who is around you and especially keep your children and valuables safe.”

werk en mediese fonds verloor. Maar, wonder bo wonder, het sy nie haar veggees verloor nie.

Die man wat glo oor haar voet gery het, is die landdros Gerald Hattingh, wat in die Bellville-omgewing werk.

Hoewel Verna dadelik ’n saak teen Hattingh gemaak het, het sy saak nooit tot ’n beslissing gekom nie en die nasionale vervolgingsgesag (NVG) het later besluit om nie voort te gaan met die saak nie.

Verna en Eugene, wat in Delft bly, het op verskeie maniere hulp probeer soek. Hulle was verskeie kere by die openbare vervolger, die media, die polisie en by staatsaanklaers, maar Hattingh se saak het halsstarrig gesloer.

Uit desperaatheid het hulle toe besluit om AfriForum se private vervolgingseenheid te kontak. “Ek het vir Verna gesê: kom ons try vir Gerrie (Nel).” Nel, wat vir dié vervolgingseenheid werk, is bekend vir sy werk in die Oscar Pistorious-saak.

Binne twee dae het die eenheid hulle gekontak. Kort voor lank het die NVG die Cloetes gekontak en gesê hulle het wel besluit om met die saak voort te gaan.

Vir die eerste keer het dit gevoel of die reg aan hul kant was.

Hattingh is met ’n lasbrief bedien en gaan vandag in die hof verskyn. Dit kom nadat dit met ’n vorige hofverskyning uitgestel is omdat die landdros vir Hattingh ken en homself van die saak verskoon het.

“Ek het gevoel die wet is nie vir die klein man nie,” sê Verna. “Ons moes na Gerrie toe gegaan het (omdat) die wet ons in die rug gesteek het. Hierdie saak is vir die domestic worker, vir die straatwerker,” sê sy.

Silversands-onnie finalis in kompetisie BRENDEN RUITER @ruitervaniewind

J

eremy Dietsiso is gebore om ’n onderwyser te wees en sy nominasie as een van tien finaliste van die radiostasie KFM se Onderwyser van die Jaarkompetisie kom as geen verrassing nie.

Dietsiso is ’n onderwyser by die Hoërskool Silversands in Silversands. “Ek is verskriklik opgewonde oor die nominasie en dankbaar teenoor die Here.

“Ek voel elke onderwyser in Suid-Afrika verdien om genomineer te word, veral in hierdie moeilike jaar. En as ek kyk na die ander onderwysers wat genomineer is, kan ek net sê ‘wow, wow’,” sê Dietsiso.

Volgens hom het hy in Happy Valley grootgeword. “Die gemeenskap gaan gebuk onder tienerswangerskappe, dwelmmisbruik, bendegeweld en so baie ander maatskaplike euwels. Ek het my laerskoolloopbaan aan die Laerskool Blackheath voltooi as Dux-leerder en op hoërskool by Tuscany Glen was ek hoofseun. Ek is die eerste en enigste kind in my ma se naaste familiekring wat gelukkig was om te kon matrikuleer en universiteit toe kon gaan. Ek is grootgemaak deur ’n enkel, gelowige, biddende moeder. Elke dag moes ek ’n uur lank deur wind en weer skool toe omdat my ma se loon die hele huis moes dra. Baie aande moes ek sonder kos gaan slaap en het ek boonop nog tuberkulose (TB) ook opgedoen. Ek het TB gekry

terwyl ek op skool was. Eendag in graad 7 het ek flou geval van hongerte,” sê Dietsiso.

Al die terugslae het hom net gemotiveer om harder te werk.

“Deur dit alles het die Here net altyd sy almag en grootheid aan my geopenbaar. Ek wou eintlik ’n hartchirurg word, maar in graad 9 het ek deur so ’n emosioneel moeilike jaar gegaan en het ek ’n onderwyser ontmoet wat begin omsien het na my emosionele gesondheid.

“Hierdie onderwyser het my uit my laagste laag opgelig en my laat voel soos ’n mens wat liefde en omgee verdien. Dit was hoekom ek onderwys gaan studeer het. Vandag beskou ek myself as ’n opvoedkundige chirurg, want die Here gee my die geleentheid om met die hart en brein van duisende kinders te werk. Elke kind verdien ’n onderwyser soos juffrou Valerie Esterhuizen, want elke kind benodig net een mens om in homself en in sy potensiaal te glo. Ek weet wat dit is om stukkend skool toe te kom. Ek weet wat dit is om honger skool toe te kom.

“Ek weet wat dit is om te voel asof niks en niemand omgee nie.

Ek weet wat dit is om gemolesteer en geboelie te word. Ek weet wat dit is om sonder toiletware en stukkende klere in die agtergrond te staan.

“En ek wil nooit in der ewigheid sien dat enige kind wat God in my sorg plaas deur daardie trauma gaan nie.

Screening concerns at hospital RICHARD ROBERTS @richardjohn_rj

T

ygerberg Hospital confirmed that it was made aware of a complaint that screening for Covid-19 symptoms are apparently not conducted at one of its entrances.

TygerBurger recently received a complaint from a resident in Kraaifontein, informing the newspaper about the matter.

The resident, who wishes to remain anonymous, suffers from cancer and visits the hospital’s cancer unit at the Gene Louw Building regularly for check-ups. Her last visit was on Friday 6 October.

“I got there at 05:45 and at the entrance

there was nobody on duty to screen patients,” the resident says.

She brought this to the attention of some of the staff, but claims that it seemed no one was bothered by it. “How would they know if infected persons are entering the facility?

And with a warning of a second wave, is this not negligence on the part of the hospital?

Are cancer patients not also high risk? At all the other entrances temperatures are taken, but not at the cancer unit.”

The patient says she has also tried calling the hospital to lodge a complaint, but claims no one answers the phone.

Laticia Pienaar, hospital spokesperson, confirmed last week that the hospital had been made aware of the matter and ex-

plained the current procedures taken at the facility.

“At the peak of the pandemic, screening was done by staff members at the Gene Louw Building, but when the numbers were declining and visitation was still restricted, the staff members were withdrawn to go back to their clinical areas.

“The screening was left to be done by the security guards but there were challenges in that screening is not the core function of the security guard. We are in a process of securing the services of the volunteers to assist with screening at the entrances,” Pienaar says.

The 68-year-old patient says she is now wary of going for her next check-up on Tues-

day 1 December.

“I have breast cancer, as well as multiple myeloma so my immune system is heavily compromised. I do not know if anyone in authority has been made aware of this nonscreening,” the patient says.

Pienaar however explained that the current screening process for patients who visit the cancer facility is done on a booking system.

“When they arrive at the unit, they must be checked for the wearing of masks, and then screened for temperature and hand sanitiser applied at the main entrance. When they get to their specific clinics, they must be fully screened for temperature and symptoms by the clinical staff,” Pienaar explains.

Medicine parcels help patients to stay safer The provincial health department’s chronic dispensary unit (CDU) in Parow has improved their services in order to help reduce the risks of chronic patients contracting Covid-19.

They have done so by preparing their medicine parcels for home delivery and collection at designated collection points at healthcare facilities.

This was done throughout the national lockdown.

“More than 84 000 additional stable chronic patients have been registered for this service since the start of lockdown, and the CDU has ramped up its capacity to more than keep pace with this increased demand,” says Ludo Tandt, general manager of the CDU. The CDU, a contract between the department and Medipost Pharmacy, was already

dispensing an average of 16 500 to 18 500 parcels per day prior to the pandemic, however the daily average is now up to 32 000 parcels per day.

From the start of 2020 to the end of September, 3.8 million medicine parcels were dispensed from the CDU. “With the advent of Covid-19 there was a need to limit opportunities for this highly infectious viral illness to spread, especially among individuals with pre-existing health conditions, while still ensuring patients have access to their prescribed chronic treatment,” says Kim Lowernherz, head of the department.

The department established a system to ensure patients living with a stable chronic health condition could receive their medicine parcels via home delivery, with over 100 000 parcels delivered safely and

R9999

conveniently to patients in their own homes since the start of lockdown.

“Through existing community-focused health structures, the medicine parcels dispensed by the CDU are disseminated through partner non-profit organisations to community health workers, who then deliver the parcels to patients.” .

The chronic dispensary unit is an advanced and highly specialised automated chronic medicine dispensing, sorting and parcel assembly line in Parow. It is a contract between the Western Cape government’s department of health and Medipost Pharmacy. Since the beginning of 2020 and the end of September, 3.8 million medicine parcels were dispensed from the CDU for patients with chronic health conditions.

Police gives safety tips A

s we approach the festive season, the Delft police want to warn the community to stay safe.

Capt John Bartlett, police spokesperson, says the community must help the police to help themselves.

“Community members must take into account a few things that makes service delivery swifter. Home owners are encouraged to place their house numbers in such a way that it is visible from the street. Police officers and other law enforcement agencies find it difficult to respond swiftly to complaints because they must search for the house number.

“The community is requested to assist in this regard by making sure that their num-

bers are visible and clearly marked,” says Bartlett.

Bartlett also gives the following safety tips for parents and children: . During this time of closing in on the festive season, parents and caregivers of children are urged to take full responsibility to ensure their children’s safety. . It is important to keep an open line of communication and trust between parents and children, children and care givers and for parents to know their children’s friends.

Children must be taught the basic rules and to follow the rules and instructions well.

Parents must be observant as to identify abnormal behaviour in their children. . Tell your child never to approach a vehi-

cle unless they are absolutely sure they know the occupants and that they have your permission to get into the car. Children must never accept gifts, a lift, sweets and money from strangers or talk to them. Even people known to the child can be a culprit in harming or killing your child. Children must always let you know where they are going. . Children must be warned to avoid giving your home telephone number to strangers and to always play and walk in groups.

They must never wander off as they will then be easy targets to would be criminals. . Avoid lonely and deserted places and do not take short cuts through alleyways and or deserted areas. Do not hitchhike. . Teach your child not to open your house

doors to anyone, but to let an adult open the door. . They must be made aware that their body is private and that they have the right to say no if someone touches them in an inappropriate manner. . Robberies is still a major concern in the Delft policing precinct. As cliché as it may sound, there is safety in numbers. We are requesting/urging people to always walk to and from work or their pick up point in groups. Always be vigilant when you park or pull out your vehicle from your drive way or garage. Firstly observe the area for any suspicious characters and people roaming the streets. . Ask a family member to accompany you to make sure no one approach you unexpectedly. If you see any suspicious people, go inside and phone the police and give a clear description of the suspicious person/s in order for police to act swiftly and that they can get the perpetrators along the way.

‘Take responsibility for sewerage’ – City BRENDEN RUITER @ruitervaniewind

I

t is the community of Silversand’s responsibility to look after their sewerage systems.

This is the message from Mayco member for water and waste, Xanthea Limberg.

Limberg’s response came after numerous complaints from residents in Silversands.

“The City’s water and sanitation operational team has cleared the sewer line blockages at both sites.

“Reference number 9109641726 was cleared on 8 November 2020 and reference number 9109561448 was cleared on 18 October 2020. At both sites, inappropriate materials were removed from the system.

“Generally, the majority of blockages across the city are caused by misuse of the sewer system. Our teams regularly have to remove builders’ rubble, nappies, sanitary pads, condoms and tyres, along with general litter from the system when clearing blockages.

“These blockages are exacerbated by the disposal of cooking fats into the system, which hardens as it cools and acts like glue for the other materials in the line,” says Limberg.

She says they will unfortunately continue to experience blockages and overflows until the culture of dumping foreign objects in the sewers stops.

“In the meantime, residents can help mitigate environmental damage and health risks associated with sewer overflows by reporting these as soon as possible so the City can come and unblock the pipes.

“Residents can do this by using any one of the alternative channels available. Each resident may make use of whichever one is most convenient to them,” says Limberg.

Pakamisa Keswa, chair of the Silversands Ratepayers’ Association, says the organisation disagrees with the City’s assessments of the situation.

“If the City starts supplying the correct drain covers no foreign objects will enter the system,” says Keswa.

Liggaam steeds nie uitgeken nie BRENDEN RUITER @ruitervaniewind Meer as ’n week nadat ’n man in Bardaleweg in Silversands doodgeskiet is, is sy liggaam nog nie uitgeken nie.

Die man is op Saterdag 14 November geskiet, maar in hierdie stadium is dit nog onseker wat aanleiding tot sy dood gegee het.

Volgens ao. November Filander, polisiewoordvoerder, is die man vermoedelik iets in die vyftig. “Ons wag nog op die

vingerafdrukafdeling om te kyk of ons kan vasstel wie die persoon is. Ons doen ’n beroep op iemand wat dalk ’n familielid in sy vyftigs vermis om die Mfulenipolisie te kontak,” sê Filander.

Filander sê die polisie is nie in hierdie stadium seker hoekom die man geskiet is nie. ’n Anonieme bron het aan TygerBurger gesê twee motors, waarvan die een ’n BMW, het van die toneel weggejaag. “Ek is nie seker of die motors saam op die toneel aangekom het nie,” sê die bron.

Tik found in Mfuleni While crime prevention police officers from the Mfuleni station were patrolling in Garden City, Mfuleni last week, an anonymous person informed police of a drug outlet.

WO November Filander, police spokesperson, says upon arriving at the address they saw a male suspect hide a plastic bag between the shacks. “When they checked what was inside the plastic bag, the officers found 287 straws containing tik and two packets of tik with an unknown street value. The 36-year-old male suspect was arrested on possession of drug charges,” says Filander.

These drugs were confiscated in Mfuleni.

Tuinprojek op dreef in woonbuurt B

Van links is Andries Waterboer, Welcome Ngweye, Ebrahim Sawant (raadslid vir wyk 19) en Adriaan Erasmus (projekleier).

Erasmus het ook besluit om by die departement van landbou navraag te doen of hulle kan help. So het hy toe te hore gekom dat hulle aansoekvorms moes invul, wat saam met afdrukke van identiteitsdokumente in-

gestuur is.

“Ek het die mense bymekaar gekry en bietjie gemotiveer om hul eie plekke te omskep en wil hulle leer om mooi tuin te maak om ook hulself te kan onderhou,” sê hy.

Op Woensdag 18 November het die departement van landbou aan 25 gesinne elk ’n hark, graaf, tuinvurk, ’n gryswaterdrom en filter, skadunet, sakke kompos, saailinge, erdwurms en ’n gieter verskaf.

Erasmus sê hy het ’n stelsel in plek waar hy een keer per week by almal omgaan en kyk of hulle “die ding reg doen” en hy raad gee of help.

Hy is passievol daaroor om die kinders betrokke te kry om tuin te maak.

“Ek het laas week by drie mense die kinders bymekaar gekry om te help om die grond voor te berei en te plant.”

Hy sê dit maak hom opgewonde om te sien hulle geniet dit ook.

“Dis die volgende projek – om die skoolkinders, die jongmense, betrokke te kry.”

Erasmus sê veral omdat daar ’n gebrek is aan speelparke is dit moeilik om die kinders van die strate af te hou en daarom wil hy vir hulle ’n alternatief bied.

Erasmus sê baie kan “vir en deur die gemeenskap” self gedoen word en as mense hulle self kan onderhou, kan die negatiewe impak teëgewerk word wat Covid-19 veroorsaak het.

“As ek met die mense praat, kan ek die trots sien wat hulle in hul eie tuine het.” ’n Skenking van 50 vrugtebome van Trees for Africa, wat onlangs ontvang is, is reeds geplant.

“Ons is hard besig hier in Riverside,” sê Erasmus. Aan gewillige hande sê hy is daar ook nie ’n tekort nie, want as hy hulp vra op die WhatsApp-groep, “dan kom daar te veel mense. Die mense wil ’n verskil maak.”

Sawant sê die inisiatief verdien ondersteuning en hy sal as raadslid graag nog soortgelyke projekte in die wyk wil begin.

“Covid-19 het veroorsaak dat daar nog meer mense as voorheen daagliks honger ly.

Daarom glo ek dat projekte soos hierdie, wat bydra tot voedselsekuriteit, kan help om grootskaalse armoede af te weer.”

LESS

innekort kan die jong woonbuurt Riverside Gardens sy naam gestand doen, want daar word nou geesdriftig tuingemaak.

Adriaan Erasmus, een van die inwoners wat skaars ’n jaar gelede hier ingetrek het, is nou aan die spits van ’n tuinmaakprojek.

Erasmus vertel hy was voorheen betrokke by projekte waar groentetuine in samewerking met die Wes-Kaapse departement van landbou begin is, soos by die Alta du Toitskool waar hy tot vroeg vanjaar gewerk het.

Die provinsiale departement, sowel as die Stad Kaapstad, het projekte wat gemeenskapstuine ondersteun.

Erasmus sê hy het gehelp om die groentetuin by Alta du Toit te vestig, waarvoor die departement die geld verskaf het. Hy sê die skoolkinders is betrek om te help om die grond voor te berei en om plantjies te plant.

Erasmus het in Februarie vanjaar “al voor Covid” sy werk by die skool verloor.

“Kyk, toe Covid kom, toe is dit nie eens meer vir my ’n skok nie,’’ sê hy.

Omdat Riverside Gardens as ’n nuwe buurt taamlik kaal was, het Erasmus begin om bietjie gras en bome aan te plant. Tydens die inperking het Erasmus en sy vrou begin om ’n voedingskema van hul huis af te bedryf. Die wyksraadslid Ebrahim Sawant sê geld wat beskikbaar gestel is deur die burgemeester, Dan Plato, is gebruik om kombuistoerusting vir die voedingskema te verskaf.

Die moontlikheid van ’n gemeenskapstuin het ter sprake gekom en Sawant het ’n stuk grond vir dié doel geïdentifiseer.

“Maar nou wag ons nog vir die permit,” sê Erasmus, en verduidelik dat die grond eers van die provinsie na die Stad oorgedra moet word vir dié doel.

“Toe begryp ek, dan kan ons solank die onbenutte grond in die mense se agterplase gebruik. Ons het ’n paar rand bymekaar gegooi hier onder mekaar en Philippi toe gery om groenteplantjies en kompos te gaan koop.”

Journalist bags VJOY for opinions Samantha Lee-Jacobs (28), a journalist at TygerBurger’s sister publication in the southern suburbs, People’s Post, has bagged the national award in the opinions category at the 2020 Vodacom Journalist of the Year awards (VJOY’s).

The awards ceremony was held virtually on Friday 20 November where Lee-Jacobs represented the Western Cape region after winning the regional opinion category award at the regional virtual awards ceremony on Wednesday 11 November.

The awards seek to recognise journalism excellence in the country across 12 categories.

In its 19th year, the competition received a record number of 1 300 entries.

Lee-Jacobs’s win was accredited to three columns published in both People’s Post (“Please just stop asking ‘when’ ”, “Breaking silence”) and TygerBurger (“Think twice before driving drunk”).

The judges’ citation is: “Entries in this category covered many issues, mainly political but also the economy, sports and even religion. Many of these entries – while being well-written – offered views that were common in society and did not bring anything fresh to the debate at either a national or provincial level. Our national winner displayed a skill taking seemingly small issues and relating them to some of society’s important concerns such as sexual assault, peer pressure and drunk driving.”

Lee-Jacobs says: “In writing these columns, I was able to share a bit of myself, my personal life and my own experiences with some of society’s social ills with our readers. This was also the first time I had ever spoken out about a personal encounter with sexual assault which empowered me to help others. As community journalists, we have a special role to play in connecting with readers, while sharing news and views that matter. Having won awards for telling people’s inspiring stories before, it was especially amazing and a great honour to be awarded for the vulnerability in sharing my own story.”

Thulani Magazi, People’s Post editor, praised Lee-Jacobs for the achievement.

“Well done, Sammy. This wonderful accomplishment is an excellent stamp of approval on what community journalism is all about. You have consistently showed and proved that community journalism is truly alive by regularly collecting awards,” says Magazi.

“Walking away with a national award against some of the country’s finest writers and newspapers is a huge achievement. We are truly proud of your achievement as it not only puts your name on the South African media landscape, but our beloved People’s Post too. Congratulations! Continue doing what you do best and love most.”

Brackenfell violence, an issue for serious deliberation Any cause, no matter how worthy, will be destroyed if addressed by the EFF because of their proclivity for mayhem and violence.

This protest, about a private function for matric learners from Brackenfell high school, on racial and economic grounds, should have been dealt with by people with sober minds and a clear vision for our future, and not by a bunch of political opportunists.

Gatherings organised on racial and socio-economic lines merely perpetuate the myth of racial superiority and looks disparagingly on people, who are not economically well off. The fact that the function was organised for about only 20% white students of the matric class suggests that people of colour were excluded along with whites who could not afford the function. This decision by the parents to organise a

function on racial and economic grounds is a shame because it will make children who were excluded feel like outcasts. This myopic decision will have a damaging impact on the matric class of 2020 in Brackenfell High. It will be a year that they wouldn’t want to remember.

The ideal would have been for all the learners, regardless of race or socio-economic status, to celebrate together. The violence that erupted in front of the school is lamentable because, firstly, it must have affected the learners, who were busy writing their exams and because they were not entirely responsible for organising the function; secondly, the violence ignored an issue that needed the attention of every thinking citizen that desires to live in a truly non-racial and nondiscriminatory society. The issue, as I understand it, is that a group of parents

organised a private celebration for matriculants, outside the school grounds on racial lines and invited the educators to the function, without any consideration for the feelings of the learners that were excluded, regardless of their colour.

The response from the school was that they had nothing to do with organising the function, so they felt exonerated by the racial tone of such a gathering.

The MEC for education, Debbie Schaeffer, came out in defence of the educators, who attended the function because she felt that the educators were unaware that the celebration was based on racial lines. This defence is utterly cras, unless the educators were totally blind.

Such a response from the MEC could only be explained either on her ignorance about the impact such racial gatherings will have on the

Fisantekraal neglected I am a community keeper in Fisantekraal and my main focus is service delivery and crime prevention.

Since 2015 I am the moderator and administrator of the Facebook page, Greenville Fisantekraal Community, and a WhatsApp crime prevention group. My daily tasks and interaction with my community did not start yesterday as I have been a police officer for 18 years and know this community since the 90s and uphold the safety of my neighbours.

During this time I have noticed a lack of services and law enforcement agencies in and around my community.

Likewise, people always reach out to social media to raise their concerns and as a fellow member I have tried my utmost to assist them.

During lockdown I have noticed the flooding of requests for assistance with Covid-19, Sassa grants, Eskom, police misconduct, City of Cape Town water-related sewerage problems, potholes and general enquiries. I always do proper research and give feedback.

We have been targeted with a flood of crime related incidents such as murder, house robbery, armed robbery, contact crimes and even a case in which the mutilated body of a woman was found.

Just a month ago, Fisantekraal was pointed out as the area with the highest crime rate in Durbanville in TygerBurger.

Our people get robbed daily en route to their workplaces.

The City’s electricity department refuses to render

minds of young and impressionable learners when they grow up to be adults or that she sees nothing wrong in racial gatherings. On the other hand, she could be pandering to the salivating appetite of her racist followers. If she is guilty of any of the above, she should resign.

The MEC, the educators who attended and the school must understand one thing, and that is: children are not born racist, it is ingrained into them from their bigoted and racist parents at home. The question that should be on the top of everyone’s mind is: if children of all colours learn and play together, as part of the school’s and department of education’s creed, why did they have a celebration on racial and socio-economic lines? This question must lay heavily on the minds of children of colour, as well as their parents.

EV RAPITI

Kompleks lei met herwinning service to this community and some of the streets are dark and without proper lighting. Since early lockdown I have been sending almost 60 emails without any progress.

How is this possible? People are attacked and they give feedback such as that we as a community must get our act together. Must they use violence?

Almost 50% of the streetlights are not working.

In phase 3 (of Greenville) the new house owners move in without any streetlights.

Eskom took almost two weeks to connect household meterboxes to their power supply. Water and sanitation are poorly attended to. Is Fisantekraal another lost city?

TIMOTHY WILDSCHUT Email

Wat ’n ongelooflike verandering om ’n huis te kon koop waar die ontwikkelaar met trots die huise oorhandig – reg vir net uitpak en leef.

Klein probleme word dadelik uitgesorteer.

Die 24-uur-sekuriteit is uitstekend en bouwerkers baie bekwaam en vriendelik; ons voortuin klaar uitgelê met plante, ook nou die sypaadjies buite om die kompleks met pragtige bome, plante en boorgatwater aangelê.

Die kompleks is ’n aanwins vir die hele gebied in Windsor Park Estate en ons hoop dit inspireer ander huiseienaars ook. Dit is baie belangrik dat almal van ons moet herwin.

Herwinningsdag is op ’n Woensdag in die kompleks.

Be mindful of preemies this month I

n support of World Prematurity Awareness Month in November, neonatal wards at Tygerberg Hospital will be draped in purple for premature babies, or preemies, this month.

The colour purple represents sensitivity and exceptionality, which is fitting for this year’s World Prematurity Day celebrated on 17 November.

This year’s theme is “Together for babies born too soon – caring for the future.” The idea of World Prematurity Day was born on 17 November 2008 when proud parents welcomed their healthy baby girl into the world after having lost triplets due to pre-term birth, a statement by the provincial health department reads. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO) one out of 10 babies is born prematurely.

“Preemies have not grown and developed as much as they should have before birth. A baby born three weeks or more before the due date is called premature. It can

Preemie Day seeks to raise awareness of the challenges and burden of preterm birth globally. Many preemies face serious lifelong health challenges. It is also a time to reflect on the amazing advances that have been made to improve the outcomes of these tiny human beings and to celebrate the healthcare workers

and parents that care for them.

These little ones need loads of love and support and World Prematurity Day is a chance to show it, the statement reads. The public is encouraged to drape a purple ribbon, t-shirt, dress or trousers and join the hospital in celebrating the month.

They are also encouraged to share their photographs on Facebook by tagging the Western Cape government health’s page.

Verskeie gevalle van kabeldiefstal en ’n brand het ’n groep inwoners van Higgensstraat in Highbury genoop om self ’n plan te maak.

TygerBurger het onlangs berig oor die onrustigheid van die inwoners aangrensend aan die spoorlyn (“Kabels word weggedra”, 04/11)

met die oorgroeide oop stuk grond wat skuilplek bied aan misdadigers wat die koperkabels opgrawe.

Op Donderdag 12 November het daar ’n brand ontstaan in een van die beboste stukke grond, wat aan die Passasierspooragentskap van Suid-Afrika (Prasa) behoort.

Op Saterdag 14 November het die inwoners besluit dis tyd om self

moue op te rol. ’n Inwoner het gesê die voorafgaande week was baie onrustig, “want die skelms was elke aand besig om kabels te steel”.

“Ons as bure het bymekaar gekom om maar self werk te maak daarvan en die bosse gesny.”

Sy sê almal in die straat het gehelp – selfs haar buurman van 77 jaar.

Suidooster skenk ’n miljoen K

ykNET se gewilde sepie Suidooster het op sy vyfde verjaarsdag, Maandag 16 November, ’n groot skenking aan die Rooikruis-kinderhospitaaltrust gemaak.

Die waarde van dié skenking is sowat R1 miljoen en bestaan uit ’n donasie van R50 000, die vervaardiging van ’n TV-advertensie, R500 000 se advertensie-lugtyd op die kykNET-kanale en blootstelling in episodes van die sepie om bewusmaking te skep van die Kinderhospitaaltrust se fondsinsamelingsprojekte.

Die oorhandiging van die skenking aan die trust, wat die fondsinsamelingsorganisasie van die befaamde Rooikruis-kinderhospitaal in Kaapstad is, het by Suidooster se ateljees plaasgevind.

Jawaahier Petersen (Kaashifa in Suidooster) het die saadjie geplant dat Suidooster by die doen en late van die Kinderhospitaaltrust betrokke moet raak. Sy is reeds een van hul ambassadeurs en is self daar as ’n kind behandel.

Volgens Wilmer Müller, Suidooster se publisiteitsbestuurder, is dit nog altyd belangrik vir die sepie om ook terug te gee.

“Ons mantra by Suidooster is dat ons nie net mense se lewe met kykgenot wil verryk nie, maar ook op ander maniere soos deur ons harte oop te maak. Daarom het ons ook besluit om hande met die Kinderhospitaal-

trust te vat,” sê hy.

“Dus, toe ons aan die begin van die jaar koppe bymekaar gesit het om ons vyfde verjaarsdag te beplan, was dit vir ons voor die hand liggend om in plaas van ’n glanspartytjie te reël, dit eerder te vier deur ’n verskil iewers te help maak.”

Chantel Cooper, uitvoerende hoof van die Kinderhospitaaltrust, sê dit is ’n voorreg om in vennootskap te wees met donateurs soos Suidooster en kykNET wat omgee.

“Die Kinderhospitaaltrust is opreg dankbaar dat ons omring is deur barmhartigheid en vrygewigheid, wat ons help om die lewe van kinders beter te maak,” sê sy.

“Ons vergeet nooit dat die taak wat op ons skouers rus, nie moontlik sal wees sonder die ondersteuning wat ons ontvang nie.”

Danksy Suidooster en kykNET se skenking is die hospitaal nou nog ’n stappie nader aan die modernisering en uitbreiding van sy eenheid vir noodgevalle.

Dié projek het in April 2019 begin, waarvan die eerste fase pas in Oktober voltooi is, terwyl die spertyd vir die afhandeling van die tweede fase geoogmerk is vir Februarie 2022.

Die koste van die projek is R122 miljoen, waarvan R87 miljoen reeds ingesamel is.

TYGERBURGER Eersterivier & Blue-Downs 17

‘Living Coloured’ an ode to thriving against the odds Yusuf Daniels’ bestselling book, Living Coloured, adapted for the stage and directed by Loukmaan Adams, will be at the Baxter Concert Hall from Tuesday 8 December to Saturday 9 January. Shows are at 19:30 with Saturday matinees at 14:30.

The vibrant characters are brought to life by a cast of six performers who mostly play multiple characters, comprising Tashreeq de Villiers, Alexis Petersen, Eldon van der Merwe, Anzio September, Crystal Finck and musician Yvan Potts, all from David Kramer’s Danger in the Dark fame.

Living Coloured is an ode to an era where communities and families thrived despite the hardship of apartheid. It is a hilarious, heart-warming and uplifting portrayal of Daniels’ own life story which speaks of family, friendships, community, traditions and culture, and what it was like growing up on the Cape Flats during an oppressive time with racism, gang-

sterism and poverty.

“There were things that kept us sane.

It made us forget the situation we found ourselves in and, most importantly, how we as a community lived fully beyond those odds presented to us at the time,” says Daniels.

“I wrote Living Coloured (Because Black and White were already taken) and Living Lekke, to bring smiles and laughter to people’s faces.” Performances will be limited to fifty percent capacity, with Covid-19 protocols in place. Arrive at least an hour before the start of the performance to avoid delays.

Ticket prices range from R125 to R225 and booking is through Webtickets on 086 111 0005, online at www.webtickets.co.za or at Pick n Pay stores.

For discounted school or group block bookings, contact Carmen Kearns on 021 680 3993 or e-mail at carmen.kearns@uct.ac.za.

Concerto-fees vier 23 jaar

he familiar childhood tale of Cinderella is given a modern-day twist in Cinderella and FrikaDella presented by All Star Entertainment and GrandWest at the Roxy Revue Bar until Thursday 17 December.

As social media takes over their world, the ruthless mother and talent agent, Patricia D, manages her social media “influencer” daughters, Frika and Della with very limited talent.

The talented unseen stepdaughter Cinderella, is ignored, treated badly and suppressed, but a massive talent competition arises. Cinderella secretly enters it. The contemporary pantomime written and directed

by Allistair Izobell features a stellar cast of performers which includes two Maak my famous season winners, Nicoleen Saal (season 2) as Cinderella and Cheswyn Ruiters (season 1) as Prince Siyaman Cowbell.

Actor and singer Loukmaan Adams is the mother and talent agent Patricia D, music artist, Nur Abrahams is daughter Frika, singer and songwriter, Daylin Sass is daughter Della and stage performer, Ramaine Barreiro is the Fairy Godmother.

The show is produced by Olivia Gildenhuys. Charlton Daniels is the musical director and Rushney Ferguson does the choreography.

Cinderella and FrikaDella opened on Monday 23 November and will run until Thursday 17 December, Mondays to Saturdays with a matinee show on Sundays.

Doors open at 20:00 and will be closed at 20:15 when the curtain rises. The matinée performances will start at 16:00. An age limit of three applies.

V Tickets can be booked through www.quicket.co.za

‘Toorbos’ is SA’s Oscars entry

Director René van Rooyen behind the scenes.

PHOTOS: FATHOM MEDIA

René van Rooyen’s Toorbos has officially been selected as this year’s South African entry for the highly coveted Best International Feature Film Award for the 2021 Academy Awards.

The film, which is an adaptation of renowned writer Dalene Matthee’s 2003 bestselling novel of the same name, is currently on circuit in South African cinemas.

Competition was tough and the South African Academy Awards Selection Committee, comprising professionals from various fields of the filmmaking value chain, evaluated several submissions from 2 to 5 November at Nu Metro cinemas across the country.

It is only the third South African entry by a female director for the Academy Awards, since 1989.

“It is an honour for our entire team that our film has been selected to represent South Africa. Covid-19 has severely impacted our arts in South Africa, Africa and the rest of the world. This is an amazing tribute and op-

portunity for our Local Film Industry,” says producer, Dries Scholtz.

Starring Elani Dekker in the lead, Toorbos investigates the uprooting of a young forest woman during the time of the final forest dwellers of South Africa’s Knysna forest of the 1930’s. It tells a story between the intimate relationship of an initiated “forest woman” and the heart of the forest and how it becomes an obstacle in her experience of the man she loves. Director René van Rooyen explains how Toorbos not only highlights the importance of finding the balance in the tug of war between the masculine and feminine, but also in the urgent need to heal our broken world, by reconnecting to nature.

“The submission gives the film spotlight in the global arena, an absolute dream come true for the project.”

Concerns around seismic activity KAILIN DANIELS @k10daniels

E

veryone went into panic mode last week after being hit by a slight tremor - the third earthquake in less than two months.

The Southern African Faith Communities’ Environment Institute (Safcei) and the Koeberg Alert Alliance have raised questions around the seismic activity on the Milnerton fault line.

According to them, the increase in seismic activity on the Milnerton fault line should be a major cause for alarm around the risks to the Koeberg Nuclear Power Plant, especially since the news that Eskom has plans to extend the life of the plant by another 20 years past its original lifespan.

“Last month, we raised our concerns when the first two earthquakes were brushed off by Eskom as no cause for alarm.

But now, with a third and more intense earthquake, South Africans need to be aware of the risks associated with an aging nuclear plant so close to a fault zone and densely populated areas,” Koeberg Alert Alliance’s Peter Becker says.

The Council for Geosciences issued a ten-

der in October for a study of the seismic risks at the Koeberg site.

“It seems we are not alone in our concerns about how safe Koeberg is from earthquakes. Clearly, the Council for Geosciences also sees a need for more research into this risk,” says Becker.

According to a statement released by Safcei, Koeberg was built during the late 1970s with a design life of forty years. It began operating in 1984 and is scheduled for shut down in July 2024.

“It was the first nuclear plant built with earthquake protection in the foundations in the form of a concrete ‘raft’ resting on neoprene rubber pads. Later designs include horizontal fail safe buffers, but this was not done for Koeberg. That means that if the rubber pads do not perform as expected, or if there is an unexpectedly powerful earthquake, it could result in the foundation cracking. One question as Eskom plans to extend the life of Koeberg is whether the neoprene pads will last for another twenty years in a marine environment?” the statement reads.

Becker adds that an unexpected earthquake can cause a nuclear reactor meltdown. “Why should Capetonians live with

the fear of that happening? Koeberg contributes so little to the electricity generated in South Africa that it is not worth the risk of keeping it running. Keeping it running for twenty years beyond its designed lifetime would be playing Russian Roulette,” he says.

Safcei’s executive director, Francesca de Gasparis, raised some questions around the safety of people living close to the plant.

“Has Eskom considered what will happen if we are hit by a massive earthquake on this existing earthquake fault, so close to our only nuclear power plant?

“In a worst-case scenario, the Koeberg Evacuation plan would have to be implemented, and tens of thousands of people, possibly millions of people, would need to be evacuated. And since radioactive contamination can make an area uninhabitable for hundreds of years, where would all these people find housing? Or schools for their children? Will there be enough services or jobs there, to cater for these new inhabitants? These are important questions which should be addressed in the open, with sufficient reliable evidence available for public scrutiny,” adds De Gasparis.

However, Eskom released a statement saying that the Koeberg Nuclear Power Station

continues to operate safely after seismic activity.

“Eskom wishes to assure the public that there are no safety concerns with regards to the Koeberg power station, which was designed to withstand a magnitude 7 earthquake. In terms of the Richter scale, the amplitude of a tremor of 3.4 is much less than 0.1% of what Koeberg was designed to safely withstand. Both nuclear reactors at Koeberg were built on seismic bearings, which act as shock-absorbers to reduce the transferral of ground movement to the plant structures during a seismic event,” the statement reads.

Other safety measures to improve the resilience of the facility have been implemented over the years emanating from lessons from recent nuclear events elsewhere, Eskom says.

Eskom adds that the power plant continued to operate as normal, with only a minor spike in vibrations on the turbine-driven feedwater pumps on both units. “The station’s earthquake instrumentation system alarms were not activated as the impact did not exceed the plant threshold, confirming that the tremor was well below the power plant’s design limits,” Eskom says.

Eskom warns public against electricity voucher scams Eskom has been inundated with requests to conduct investigations into scams that purport to sell “cheap electricity” vouchers.

This scam is perpetrated through promotions being advertised on social media sites on Facebook and Twitter and WhatsApp. According to a statement released by Eskom last week, these unscrupulous individuals dupe people into paying for this “cheap electricity” through the use of electronic

funds transfers such as e-wallet and money market.

Thereafter the scammers disappear and leave the customers destitute and out of pocket.

“Eskom is working with several law enforcement agencies to trace and prosecute these unscrupulous individuals. We want to urge the members of the public not to fall prey to these crooks, but to report these acts

KILLARNEY: KARTING TITLES TO BE DECIDED

Geared up for finalé I

n spite of lockdown stealing a significant amount of its season, the Rotax Max Western Province Karting Championship will reach seven rounds out of the initially planned eight at Killarney’s season finale on Saturday 28 November.

Among this year’s classes there will be a mere formality after a few standout performances through the season.

Others will, however, go right down to the line.

Among the latter, the baby Bambinos arrive at Killarney with little Aiden Beaumont all of three points clear of young Kai van Rensburg in the title chase.

So that one can go either way, considering there’s a three-point difference between a race win and a second. And there are three races on Saturday.

It’s just as close between Sebastiano Human and Siyabonga Ntuli for third, and Liam Wharton and Michael Danks for fifth too.

Stepping up to u.11 Micro Max, Reese Koorzen already has one hand on that championship, but its tight for second.

Joshua Smit holds an eleven point ad-

vantage over Jordan Wadeley.

African Open winner Keagan Beaumont will be the kid to watch though — the African Open winner has come on strong and will be out to secure the title fourth over Dale Hobbs and Sabelo Ntuli.

It would appear that Reza Levy and Ethan Deacon need to do something silly to squander their u.13 Mini-Max 1-2.

But on closer inspection, third placed Joaquin de Oliveira is a clear danger man.

He missed the first two races, so will not have to drop any of his results and all his points will count. His rivals must still drop results so that brings de Oliveira into striking distance. Joshua Smit, Jude Stuart and Jordan Wadeley will also be in that chase.

Kyle Visser has all but wrapped up the WP u.15 Junior Max title.

The fight there is for second between brothers Andre and Kyle le Riche and Matthew Wadeley. Ethan Stier and Troy Dolinschek are danger men there as they too, do not drop any points after missing championship rounds. Senior Max however promises to be a thriller.

Sebastian Boyd is in control of the DD2 category and is expected to wrap up the premier class title over Jason Coetzee.

Boost for local disabled sport in the province The month of November in South Africa signifies National Disability Month, and as part of the continued celebrations, a local betting firm joined forces with Paralympic star Mpumelelo Mhlongo and the Western Province Sport Association for the Physically Disabled (WPSAPD), to make a meaningful difference in the communities in the Cape Town Metro district.

Recognising the important role and overall contribution to sport that athletes with disabilities and administrators continue to make, Betway has committed to lending a helping hand to organisations that aid the development of athletes with disabilities throughout the month.

The WPSAPD, were presented with

R30 000 worth of equipment in support of their efforts of breaking barriers and creating an inclusive society for people living with disabilities through sport.

WPSAPD was founded in in 1963 with the founding of the Western Province Regional Council and has been providing access to sport opportunities for people living with disabilities through their affiliated clubs.

A variety of sports are catered for and currently include athletics, boccia, powerlifting, goalball, para dance and junior para-cycling amongst others.

The association is affiliated to the provincial structure, Western Cape Sport Association for Physically Disabled, and to the national association, namely the South African

Sport Association for the Physically Disabled (SASAPD).

A 2019 World Para Athletics record holder in 100m, 200m and long jump, Mhlongo was on hand to present the much-needed equipment.

“It gives me great joy to witness global brands such as Betway recognising and celebrating this important month.

“A number of athletes such as myself are currently preparing for the Tokyo Olympics and seeing such a kind gesture from Betway, that will aid the development of athletes living with disabilities gives me great hope that we will have more athletes from our local communities competing at global events,” said Mhlongo.

WPSAPD chair, Elze Lamrechts-Malherbe acknowledged the importance of the sponsorship during National Disability Month.

“WPSAPD would like to express its gratitude to Betway for such a generous gesture that will go a long way in supporting the vision of our association.

“The work that is done by WPSAPD and similar organisations receives minimal recognition and it takes brands such as Betway to help us be more visible through such great initiatives.

“The donation will go towards funding our goalball and CP Football activities and much needed equipment for our para-athletes competing in athletics.” said LambrechtsMalherbe.
