EERSTERIVIER: VERLAM NA ONGELUK

Croy weer by rugby BRENDEN RUITER @ruitervaniewind

’n

Man van Eersterivier het ’n tweede kans gekry om sy liefde vir sport uit te leef nadat sy aanvanklike sportdrome gekelder is toe hy sy nek in ’n motorongeluk gebreek het.

Brandon Croy was 18 en topfiks toe sy lewe in 2014 tot stilstand geruk is.

“Ek het in 2013 gematrikuleer en die volgende jaar by Northlink ingeskryf om sportfiksheid te studeer. In daardie stadium het ek rugby en krieket vir Bellville gespeel en

groot sportdrome gekoester. In die ongeluk het ek my nek gebreek en is ek van my bors af ondertoe verlam,” sê Croy.

Volgens Croy, wat in verskeie posisies kon speel, het wat met hom gebeur het nie sy passie vir sport geblus nie en hy het onlangs weer die geleentheid gekry om betrokke te raak.

TygerBurger het verlede week berig oor die Blackheath Rugby Boys-inisiatief (“Rugby bring hoop”, 20 November), wat daarop gemik is om kinders uit die gemeenskap deur middel van rugby vir die uitdagings van die lewe voor te berei.

Hierdie inisiatief wat by die Hoërskool Blackheath ontstaan het, bereik kinders van alle uithoeke van die gemeenskap.

Croy is by hierdie inisiatief betrek en hy gedy. “Ek is in my noppies om weer by sport betrokke te kan wees en met jong kinders te kan werk. My fokus is veral daarop om die kinders fiks te kry, maar ek deel ook my kennis van die spel.

“Dit is vir my verblydend as ek die een week met kinders gewerk het en ek sien die volgende week hoe hulle verbeter het. Ek staan verbaas oor hoeveel talent ons kinders het,” sê Croy.

In die toekoms oorweeg hy om dalk verder te gaan met afrigting, maar volgende jaar gaan hy weer studeer.

“In die kort termyn wil ek net sien hoe die kinders floreer met hul rugby,” sê hy.

Winslow Mullins, een van die dryfvere agter die rugbyprojek, sê Croy is nie net vir hom ’n inspirasie nie, maar ook vir almal rondom hom. “Hy is ’n waardevolle lid van ons span en die kinders kyk op na hom. Elke dag is hy ’n bewys dat jou terugslae jou nie definieer nie en dus waardeer ons sy bydrae en insette. Ons hoop hy kan nog lank by ons betrokke wees,” sê Mullins.

‘Community the losing party in CPF debacle’ DESIRÉE RORKE @dezzierorke

A

stalemate between provincial government and the provincial community policing board (CPB) is threatening to destabilise local community safety structures should middle ground not be found soon.

It stems from directives issued by the department earlier this year, which changes the voting rights that were adopted by individual community policing forums (CPF) in accordance with national legislation.

This resulted in provincial police commissioner Lt Genl Sindile Mfazi to on 30 October place a moratorium on CPF annual meetings across the province, where new executives would have been voted into office for the next five-year term; this after the CPB called on the police commissioner for intervention.

Provincial minister of community safety, Albert Fritz, last week called on Lt Genl Mfazi to lift this moratorium and allow communities to elect their leadership.

He also called on all CPFs in the province to abide by his directives and guidelines.

“These directives were issued to allow for all community based organisations including neighbourhood watches (NHW), nongovernmental organisations and the religious fraternity to participate in CPFs at the station-level,” he said in a statement.

He is of the opinion that the current Uniform Constitution for CPFs in the Western Cape, drafted in 2010, is now outdated. “(The UC) is no longer aligned with current legislation, particularly the Civilian Secretariat for Police Act and the Western Cape Community Safety Act,” he stated.

He expressed concern that this outdated constitution is being used by a few within the CPB to side-line community based organisations in terms of voting rights.

“Historically, these provisions have resulted in a lack of representation of NHWs and community structures on CPFs, in turn, causing much tension,” said Fritz.

According to Fritz the constitution is not aligned with the spirit of the Western Cape Community Safety Act, which aims to make CPFs inclusive of all community based organisations.

He added that the department’s directives were issued within the ambit of the legislative powers of the province, after much consultation and confirmation from the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC), the national civilian secretariat for police and from the police.

Sean McCleland, chair of the Tygerberg cluster CPB, says Fritz’s statement is misleading. “Firstly, the IEC is a political organisation and has no mandate to moderate functions or elections within a CPF. Secondly, the provincial commissioner, after consultation with the CPB, did not confirm the department directives as claimed by Fritz and thirdly, the constitution does not apply only to certain organisations or cultural structures. It applies to every safety organisation, both within government and community based within respective communities. Furthermore, the department is acting outside of their legal mandate in terms of the Constitution of the Republic, which clearly shows no legal mandate and no responsibility on the department to issue directives. Legally, the role of department is to promote, assist and monitor police partnerships,” he says.

McCleland says the constitution by which CPFs are managed, was instituted and approved of by the department, the police and CPFs at its inception and is focused on the implementation of national laws, not provincial legislation.

“Legally speaking the department cannot dictate to CPFs and the question begs as to why they forget their legal mandate.

Why are they attempting to force this onto CPFs and what is their agenda?” says McCleland. “It is causing political infighting and internal friction that is weakening community safety.”

McCleland confirmed that the CPB and the provincial police commissioner in a meeting on 16 November agreed that CPF annual meetings and elections will only proceed next year between 20 January and 28 February and will take place in terms of the constitution and not department directives.

The department was notified of this meeting, but did not show up and confirmed their refusal to attend the meeting, according to McCleland.

Fritz, on the other hand, continued to say it was unfortunate “that the functionality of all 151 CPFs in the Western Cape is now compromised because of a dysfunctional few”.

In reply to Fritz, McCleland said, “it is because of the attempts by the department to dictate to CPFs that this very problem has occurred, even although the department is admittedly way outside of its legal mandate”.

Tygerberg cluster, under the assessment of the department was found to be one of the most functional in the province with the highest in submissions and compliance with the department strategy.

Talk about money taboo, says survey Money is a bigger taboo than sex, religion or politics, according to a survey by one of the world’s largest independent financial advisory organisations.

In the global survey, conducted by deVere Group, 56% of those polled ranked personal finance as the most difficult subject to discuss with family, friends and colleagues.

It came ahead of sex (18%), politics (12%),

religion (8%) and health issues (6%) in the poll of more than 700 clients in Africa, the UK, Europe, Asia and Australasia.

“We’re moving towards the holiday period when people, typically, are more likely to get together with loved ones than at any other time in the year,” comments Nigel Green, founder of deVere Group.

“But the survey shows that what they are

least likely to be discussing is personal finance - including income, taxes, pensions, debt, savings and expenses.

He continues: “The taboo of talking money needs to be broken down and normalised. “We need to recognise and celebrate how money can truly provide individuals and their loved ones with incredible life-enhancing opportunities.”

School stabbing in Eerste River BRENDEN RUITER @ruitervaniewind The provincial education department has confirmed with great concern a stabbing incident at a school in Eerste River recently.

The incident happened last Monday 18 November, and according to police spokesperson Capt Florna Muller, followed an incident the previous Friday. “What we heard is that three people entered the school premises accusing one of the learners of being from a certain gang. They attacked the learner on the scene,” says Muller.

During the prayer service on the Monday, two learners started to fight and one stabbed the other in the shoulder. “The learner that was stabbed was taken to hospital and on further inspection two more knives were found in the stabber’s bag. It was later identified as knives that were stolen from the school’s kitchen. Learners who witnessed

Bronagh Hammond, spokesperson for the department, says the learner who allegedly stabbed the other learner was suspended from the school as he faces disciplinary action for another incident. “The department is committed to ensuring quality education for every learner, in every classroom, in every school across the Western Cape. A safe learning environment is a critical requirement for quality teaching and learning to take place. We implement various strategies to address school violence and safety. Unfortunately, many of the safety risks are a result of community and gang violence which affects the safety environment of our schools. Addressing these issues goes beyond our mandate and control. We are therefore also reliant on other governmental departments and law enforcement agencies such as the police, the Department of Justice and the City’s law

Grade 7s getting ‘smart’ The Two Oceans Aquarium and the City of Cape Town recently hosted a five-day Smart Living course, for Grade 7 learners from different schools.

This included a session on waste and a visit to the Kraaifontein integrated waste management facility.

Back at the aquarium, the learners spoke about different types of waste and their sources, as well as which types of materials are recyclable. They then did a waste sorting activity and further learned about ways to minimise and manage waste.

Part of the course included a visit to the Green Point urban park to get some hands-on contact with the city’s biodiversity.

On completion of the course, the learners wrote a final assessment.

enforcement,” says Hammond.

Hammond admits that the department has a role to play, specifically in addressing the behavior of learners in terms of conflict management, substance abuse awareness and abuse, as well as, security infrastructure.

“The department has effective strategies to address school violence, which include building relationships between the parents, learners and the broader school community and involving the local community in the school which includes holiday and afterschool programmes, training programmes for teachers, parents and learners to identify and address aggressive learners and giving schools access to school social workers and educational psychologists to provide psycho-social support. It is also aimed at having an accountable school management and giving learners a voice within the appropriate structures in the school, as learners need to be part of the solution,” says Hammond.

Raadslid bring manne byeen BRENDEN RUITER @ruitervaniewind Ons kan vrouedae tot vervelens toe herdenk, maar as daar nie verandering by die huis is nie, gaan dit ons niks baat nie.

Só sê Jerome Fitz, raadslid van Eersterivier, ná hy verlede week ’n program vir manne aangebied het.

“Elke jaar bied ons programme aan om vroue te bemagtig, maar wanneer hulle weggaan, gaan betree hulle dieselfde omstandighede.

“Ons het met die idee vorendag gekom dat ons die mans ook wil bymekaar bring en hulle bemagtig om beter mans en vaders by die huis te wees,” sê Fitz.

Fitz sê die goeie opkoms het hom verbaas.

“Ek kon nie glo so baie mans het besluit om by ons aan te sluit nie. Ons het 100 mans uitgenooi en 95 het uiteindelik gekom.

“Ons het probeer om alle mans van die vroue wat ons Vrouedagvieringe bygewoon het te nooi en ek moet sê die gesindheid waarmee hulle opgedaag het was wonderlik,” sê Fitz.

Verskeie sprekers, onder andere verteenwoordigers van die polisie se seksuele misdade-afdeling, asook hofbeamptes wat met interdikte te doen het, het die mans toegespreek.

“Ek is seker hulle is weg met ’n boodskap dat mans ’n verskil kan maak in die lewens van hul vroue,” sê Fitz.

Lucinda Krige is the first South African woman to qualify as a marine engineer in the fishing industry.

SA’s first female marine engineer a local lass THABANG KUAHO @thab_journo

A

Kraaifontein woman has become the first woman in South Africa to qualify as a marine engineer in the fishing industry.

Lucinda Krige was afforded the opportunity by Sea Harvest Corporation to obtain the qualification, something she describes as a great honour and privilege.

She is responsible for the operations and maintenance of all machinery onboard, including the main propulsion power, steering, marine systems, trawling machinery and processing factory equipment.

Growing up, she always wanted to become an engineer.

Her father, her biggest fan, arranged for her to meet an engineer when she was in Grade 11 at Forest Heights High School in Eerste River.

“The engineer gave me guidance and information on the various disciplines of engineering.

In my matric year, I attended open days at universities and universities of technology and was even more undecided about which discipline of engineering I would pursue,” Krige said.

While working as a cleaner at a hotel in 2002, her father saw an advertisement in a newspaper and said he had found the right job for her, an engineering cadet at the Sea Harvest Corporation.

“I did not know what an engineering cadet was and neither did he, but my father was certain that it was the job for me and he was not wrong,” she explained.

She applied, went through the recruitment process and was one of three female cadets among a total of 10 that started at the company in 2003.

From the start, Krige’s career has grown from strength to strength.

“My self-motivation came from the goal that I wanted to achieve, and I never lost sight of that.

I had also fell in love with life at sea, the world of marine engineering, and my passion and love for my work has kept me motivated and driven to complete the programme. My external motivation came from my late father and training officer that walked the journey with me for a wonderful three years and laid a solid foundation in my career.”

She hopes young girls follow the profession as it incorporates a variety of engineering disciplines.

“One requires various skills to become a marine engineer. With the broadened skills set, you can achieve so much and go beyond life at sea.

“The most satisfying moment is when you return from a trip at sea and know that you have completed the trip without having to bring the vessel alongside for any breakdowns and it is well-kept and maintained,” Krige said.

ie pa van die sewejarige seuntjie van Belhar, wat verlede week die Kaap op hol gehad het toe hy R10 000 in ’n vasvra-kompetisie gewen het, sê sy seun kan nie wag om sy prysgeld te kry nie.

Sherman Matthews se seun, Izaan, het luisteraars van die radiostasie Kfm 94.5 verras toe hy die prysgeld van R10 000 opgeraap het.

“Izaan het baie planne met die geld. Hy wil vir hom en sy suster goed koop. Dalk selfone of rekenaarspeletjies, maar ek dink nie hy is al seker nie. Dit is groot geld,” sê Matthews.

Volgens Matthews is hulle nie verbaas dat Izaan gewen het nie.

“Ons luister altyd na Kfm 94.5 en dan speel ons ook saam as die vasvra-kompetisie op die radio speel; so hy het geweet wat om te verwag.

“Dit is een van ons gunsteling-goed om te doen,” sê Matthews.

Maar waar kom die kind se slimmigheid vandaan?

“Vandat hy baie klein was, koop my vrou vir hom boeke en hy het ’n voorliefde vir lees ontwikkel. Ons het toe besef dat hy gou verveeld raak met die boeke vir sy ouderdomsgroep en moes toe boeke vir ouer kinders vir hom koop,” sê Matthews.

Izaan, ’n leerder aan die Laerskool Bellville, sit egter nie net die hele tyd met sy neus tussen die boeke nie.

“Hy beoefen karate en speel ook tennis by die skool. Ons probeer maar om sy lewe so

gebalanseerd as moontlik te hou,” sê Matthews.

Izaan het luisteraars laat lag toe hy vir die radio-omroeper gesê het een van die goed wat hy vir sy ma gaan koop, is deodorant.

Sy pa het egter verduidelik dat dit nie beteken sy vrou ruik nie lekker nie.

“My dogter het onlangs met my vrou se deodorant gespeel en dit uitgemors, so Izaan voel hy wil dit dalk net terugkoop,” sê Matthews.

Decision not yet made on water restrictions DESIRÉE RORKE @dezzierorke

F

ollowing mayor Dan Plato’s statement earlier this year, that water restrictions would be reconsidered in October, the City last week stated that a decision over this must still be made in consultation with the national department of water and sanitation (DWS) and all users of the Western Cape water supply system.

DWS have scheduled a meeting for the end of November, in which their modelling for the region’s next hydrological year will be presented for consideration and discussion,” said Mayco member for water and waste Xanthea Limberg,” in a statement to the media on 18 November.

She said the City can’t pre-empt the outcome of the meeting, but will advise residents after consultations have taken place.

According to Limberg, dam levels have

decreased by 0.5% over the previous week and are currently at 83.7%.

“Water consumption for the same period was slightly down, falling from 675 million litres/day to 674 million litres/day.

Currently the consumption target for the City is 650 million litres/day,” she added.

Rainfall below average “Although our surface water supply is markedly higher ahead of summer 2019/ ’20 than it has been in recent years, residents should keep in mind that rainfall for winter 2019 was again below average. This is the fifth year running this has been the case, as reflected in City graphs.”

In response to this statement, Sandra Dickson of the civic organisation Stop Coct, said the City is using the same rhetoric as last year.

“First Plato said restrictions would be reconsidered in October, but now they say

November. As was the case last year, the City now says they have to wait upon DWS to lift restrictions.

“If the City could implement water restrictions unilaterally and increase tariffs, why must they now wait for DWS to decrease it? she said.

Dickson says the City last year implemented a 30% water reduction, while DWS only asked for 10%, resulting in the 650ML consumption target, which was exceeded by about 25ML only for the last three weeks.

“It is simply outrageous and indicates that the City thinks the public will not see it. They have double standards, which only benefits the City.”

Dickson adds that should restrictions be reduced to the lower level, the public would be paying 49 cents per KL less.

VInformation on water restrictions when these are decided will be posted on www.capetown.gov.za/ thinkwater.

Man dies, woman injured in Delft fire One man died and a woman sustained burns on Thursday 21 November in a fire in Leiden, Delft.

At 05:22 the City’s fire and rescue service was alerted to a formal dwelling alight in Owen Madikane Street.

Upon arrival, it was confirmed by the officer in charge that the fire was contained to the ground floor area of the maisonette structure.

Further investigation of the area led to the discovery of the body of a man who sustained fatal burn wounds. An woman sustained 60% burn wounds and was treated and transported to a nearby hospital.

LEWENSKIEKIE

Hoe lank hou ’n World Cup-babelas?

Diegene wat al erg deur babelas gekasty is, sal weet dat daar nie ’n erger siekte as wingerdgriep is nie.

Sommige ouens raak so siek dat hulle voel hulle kan sterf. Die kop pyn, die maag is ontsteld en alles irriteer jou. Alle reuke maak jou naar, veral kos.

Nou die laaste paar weke het ek ’n vreeslike babelas. Gelukkig darem nie die dranksoort nie, maar wel rugby-babelas.

Met die wêreldbekerrugby het ek letterlik elke dag rugby gelewe.

Van voor die toernooi begin het, het ek al die programme oor rugby gekyk – ou wedstryde, dokumentêre programme, onderhoude met oudspelers, onderhoude met huidige spelers, plaaslike en oorsese ontledingsprogramme.

Daarna het ek elke rugbystorie in die koerante verslind. Oorsese koerante het ek aanlyn gelees om beter perspektief te kry oor wat ander mense van die Springbokke dink. In meeste gevalle het ek my vervies omdat die Bokke nie ’n kans gegun is nie.

“Dan kom As ek op kantoor Mevrou en sê die kom, het ek en my kollegas vooruitwêreldbekerskattings of ontledings gedoen. toernooi is Sommige het nou verby en jy tentatief weddenskappe aangegaan, moet na die wat nooit gaan regte wêreld uitbetaal nie. terugkeer en kar Wedstryddae het vroeg reeds begin gaan was.” met wat ook al gedoen moes word voor afskoptyd. As Mevrou wou winkels toe gaan, moes dit gedoen word lank voor die eerste bal geskop is, want rugby begin gewoonlik ’n uur voor die wedstryd. Manne soos Victor Matfield en Jean de Villiers het die opbou van wedstryde ’n groot plesier gemaak met hul insae.

Baie manne het ook op wedstryddae vroeër begin vat as gewoonlik. Dit was nie ongewoon om hier teen 14:00 groot vure te sien nie. Wanneer die span gewen het, het partytjies gewoonlik tot die volgende dag aangehou.

Tussen deur alles moes ek nog elke dag op Facebook sleutelbordgevegte voer met Suid-Afrikaners wat die All Blacks ondersteun. Ek wil nie op iemand se tone trap nie, maar daardie groepie is ’n snaakse klomp.

Hopelik is hul monde nou eers stil tot die volgende toernooi oor vier jaar.

Ek dink nie daar is meer iets te sê oor die euforie wat die land oorval het toe die Bokke uiteindelik met die gesogte trofee huis toe kom nie. Koerante het elke storie uitgewring wat oor die Bokke geskryf kon word. Onderhoude is gevoer met spelers se ouers en grootouers en ooms en tantes en predikante en honde en katte. Ons weet nou dat Faf de Klerk van Bokbloemer-faam eens op ’n tyd in ’n skoolkonsert opgetree het en dat Damian de Allende se broer die week ná die toernooi getrou het. Elke aspek van die seëvierende span se lewe gaan in die volgende paar maande ontleed word. Of, soos Joel Stransky onlangs op televisie gesê het, hul lewe gaan nog vir die volgende 24 jaar aan die groot klok hang.

En hier sit ek nou. Ek weet nie wat om naweke met my tyd te maak nie. Soms sit ek die opname van die eindstryd aan en kyk weer na Makazole Mapimpi se skoppie en hoe Lukhanyo Am die bal nonchalant vir hom teruggooi sodat hy die Springbokke se eerste drie in ’n wêreldbeker-eindstryd gaan druk. Wanneer Cheslin Kolbe tussen die Engelse spelers deur dans, druk ek die pauseknoppie net voor hy gaan druk en speel dit weer. Elke keer wil ek ’n traan stort.

Dan kom Mevrou en sê die wêreldbekertoernooi is nou verby en jy moet na die regte wêreld terugkeer en gaan kar was. Of haar winkels toe neem. Hoe lank hou ’n World Cup-babelas? wonder ek.

BRIEWE briewe@tygerburger.co.za|Faks: 021 910 6501|Posbus 747, Bellville 7535|Briewe wat nie langer is as 250 woorde nie, sal voorkeur geniet. Verskaf asb. u naam, adres en telefoonnommer by (nie vir publikasie). Spertyd is Vrydag om 12:00

Dít is in die kind se belang Ek is ’n gekwalifiseerde en geregistreerde maatskaplike werker. Hiermee my professionele opinie en kommer oor die koerantberig “Rugbyafrigter kry trekpas ná onwelvoeglike optrede” (TygerBurger, 6 November).

Ingevolge die huidige Kinderwet en die Wet op Seksuele Misdrywe kan enige individu in die gemeenskap ’n beweerde seksuele oortreding teenoor ’n kind by die polisie aanmeld. Dit is belangrik om kennis te neem dat die beweerde oortreding, die strafregtelike ondersoek, hofverrigtinge en die regsbeslissing deur die hof nog steeds in die beste belang van die kind bly al word die beweerde oortreder ook onskuldig bevind.

Dus stem ek nie saam met dr. Theron wanneer hy sê dit is moeilik om te sê wat in elke kind se beste belang is nie.

Ingevolge die wetgewing kan die betrokke skool ’n strafregtelike klag aanhangig maak en is dit die wetlike verantwoordelikheid van die polisie om die klagte te ondersoek en die saak voor die hof te bring, selfs in ’n situasie waar dit nie die keuse van die kinders se primêre versorgers is nie.

Wetgewing en selfs huidige skolebeleid regverdig en beskerm die skool in hierdie verband. Volgens die berig is die rugbyafrigter deur ’n onafhanklike party in ’n interne tugverhoor skuldig bevind. Hierdie bevestiging is myns insiens bo redelike twyfel ’n sterk aanduiding vir genoegsame gronde vir ’n strafregtelike klag. Aan die ander kant kan die versuim om ’n strafregtelike klag in te dien ook geïnterpreteer word as ’n oortreding van die Kinderwet en die Wet op

Seksuele Misdrywe.

My verdere kommer is dat die rugbyafrigter uit sy pos by die skool ontslaan is, maar heel moontlik verdere kontak gaan hê met ander kinders omdat daar tans geen wetlike buffer is om verdere kontak met kinders te vermy nie. Die Kinderwet het duidelike beskermingsprosesse vir kinders teen oortreders wat strafregtelik skuldig bevind is, soos die registrasie van die skuldige op die nasionale register vir kinderbeskerming en seksuele oortredings.

My addisionele kommer is dat daar ’n sielkundige, ’n maatskaplike werker en ’n staatsaanklaer by hierdie situasie van die skool betrokke was en dit vir my voorkom asof die kinders deur die reg gefaal is en die oortreder wetlik skotvry hiervan afkom. Die moontlikheid bly dat ander kinders deur hierdie rugbyafrigter se sielkundig disfunksionele en patologies afwykende gedrag getraumatiseer kan word.

Taxis in control of our roads I wonder who is in control of the Western Cape and who controls the roads.

I live in Sonkring, and daily I use Blackberry Road to gain access to Cecil Morgan Road.

This is a scary place in the mornings because although the taxis are not supposed to stop there, they park in the yellow line blocking the view for both directions, as well as blocking Blackberry Road for us.

There are people crossing the road to and from the Checkers/Shoprite storage facility which makes entering the road more treacherous.

The people who say that

this problem does not exist do not monitor that road early mornings.

When will the authorities take heed? Or are we waiting for an accident to happen first?

Why not at least put a traffic light there or provide a taxi rank which might at least help people to be able to avoid oncoming traffic?

Who is in control?

It seems that taxi drivers and their owners control the streets of Cape Town and surrounding areas.

Kinders openlik dronk by konsert Ons was die naweek as ’n gesin na Liefde by die dam, of eerder “Drank vir tieners by die dam”.

Sommige mense sê tye verander en ons moet daarby aanpas, maar ek het nog nooit soveel minderjariges openlik dronk by ’n openbare geleentheid gesien nie. Seer sekerlik is dit nie reg nie.

Wat veronderstel was om ’n gesinsgeleentheid te wees, het in ’n absolute dronknes ontaard. Daar was geen beheer oor aan wie drank verkoop is nie.

Twee wagte het nou en dan probeer om vir ’n ID te vra, maar dit het nie vrugte afgewerp nie.

Kinders van Durbanville het openlik geloop en drink – sommige van hul voete af, asof daar niks mee fout is nie.

Meisies van 15 tot 16 jaar het by die kroeg drank gekoop sonder enige moeite.

Na bewering het een van die bands ook die kinders aangepor om meer te drink.

As ’n ouer van twee jong kinders maak dit my baie bekommerd as dít is waarheen ons op pad is.

Librarian in Bellville ‘saved a life’ It’s 2019 and like so many other South Africans I have lost faith in our government on national, provincial and local levels. l have also lost all faith in myself and my purpose here on earth.

Today, Monday 18 November, I was prepared to end my life. My depression has sucked the last drop of joy I had. I have been living for everyone except for myself. I had to return some books for a friend as these were one of the obligations I was forced to undertake every few weeks.

Nonetheless, I was at my lowest, lowest point. But upon reaching the main counter at Bellville Library I was greeted by a young, friendly newbie (Chad or Shad) who continued to ask me if I enjoyed these books. And when he realized I wasn’t feeling too good instantly encouraged me to get a book on positive thinking. I thought why is this over-enthusiastic guy trying to convince me to read a stupid book? - as if that would help.

He then continued to make a joke about one of the books he had read. He explained the different parts of the library and spoke about his dreams of becoming the wealthiest assistant librarian in the world which surprisingly made me laugh, much to my delight. This was the first time all week I had not thought about ending my life, but rather considering signing up and joining a library.

This enthusiastic young man without knowing had stopped me from committing one of the biggest sins.

I thank the Almighty for allowing me to experience such a miracle. The world needs to know about this great young man.

NGO welcomes child pornography conviction RICHARD ROBERTS @richardjohn_rj

A

local non-profit organisation (NPO) who works with vulnerable children welcomed the conviction of a man found guilty of being in possession of child pornography.

The convicted Dawid Lotz from Malmesbury was handed down a 10-year prison sentence at the Parow regional court on Monday 18 November. Lotz worked as a control prosecutor at the Atlantis magistrate’s court until three years ago.

Eric Ntabazalila, spokesperson of the National Prosecuting Authority told TygerBurger that Lotz resigned from the NPA in December 2016.

Childline Western Cape, who works with children who either are at risk of, or who have experienced sexual abuse and, or trauma and who has offices in Parow, say they are glad for any conviction and sentencing in cases which involves the possession of child pornography.

“It sends out a clear message that child pornography is a crime, and should be reported to the police.

“We are pleased to note that the many efforts being made to bring awareness to this issue, are bearing fruit,” Cheryl Morilly, deputy director, says.

She encourages parents and caregivers to be involved in their children’s social media activities and to talk about the dangers of sharing photos on social media.

“Parents should also be cautious about the kinds of information and photos which they share about their children on social media which may have potential dangers for their children such as their safety, their future digital footprint and which could negatively affect their self-esteem,” Morilly says.

Ntabazalila says the 44-year-old Lotz was sentenced to a 10-year direct imprisonment of which three years were suspended for five years. He was found in possession of 125 images of child pornography. Lotz was also sentenced to three years direct imprisonment for sexual assault which was suspended for five years.

Capt Frederick van Wyk, Western Cape police spokesperson, says the police are pleased with the outcome.

The matter was investigated by the police’s provincial family violence, child protection and sexual offences (FCS) unit. The unit was made aware of Lotz being in possession of child pornography in October 2016.

According to Van Wyk the offices at the Atlantis magistrate’s court as well as the convict’s house were searched. “Exhibits were seized by the provincial cyber crime unit,” Van Wyk explains.

Lotz first appeared in court on 31 December 2016 on charges of the possession of child pornography and sexual assault.

A further order is made that his name be recorded in the sexual offences register and that he is found unfit to work with children and also unfit to possess a firearm, police say.

Let the fun begin.

‘Frozen fun’ at Canal Walk With school holidays around the corner and the festive season fast approaching, there are loads of activities to keep children occupied.

Get ready to slide into summer with the arrival of Canal Walk Shopping Centre’s Frozen Fun slide park, which opens on Friday 29 November and runs until Sunday 5 January.

The Frozen Fun slide park celebrates the launch of Disney’s Frozen 2.

The school holiday entertainment celebrates the eagerly awaited launch of Disney’s Frozen 2, the sequel to the smash hit 2013 movie, Frozen.

Frozen 2 follows Elsa, her sister Anna, and a host of friends, including the lovable snowman, Olaf, as they set out on their latest quest and will hit the big screen in South Africa from Friday 6 December.

The Frozen Fun slide park is made possible by a collaboration between Canal

Walk Shopping Centre and The Walt Disney Company Africa.

Sharing in the excitement, Canal Walk’s marketing manager, Vanessa Herbst, says, “Fans have waited for this movie for a long time and with its release on 6 December coinciding with the school holidays, we wanted to make the most of this magical time of year and give visitors a special Frozen experience.”

Canal Walk is well known for its family focused fun-filled events, and the Frozen Fun slide park will be no exception, with four frozen slides of varying heights appealing to thrill seekers of all ages. But, if building a snowman is more your style, then an Olaf snow play area will help let the inner creativity out.

Sessions are 45 minutes every hour, on the hour and will open from 10:00 each day except Christmas day, 25 December, and New year’s day, 1 January, with the last session at 20:00.

Old online accounts a threat I

t’s very likely that you’ve been using the internet for many years and already forgot how many different accounts you’ve created.

However, old accounts pose a real threat as there’s a big chance they store a lot of sensitive data. If one of your old accounts is leaked, it can become an open door for cybercriminals to hack into your email, Facebook, and even computer or smartphone.

“News about data breaches and leaks are starting to feel like a common thing. And even though we tend to care about our most important accounts, we usually forget that those we barely use also contain sensitive information,” says Daniel Markuson, a digital privacy expert at NordVPN. “An important thing to remember is that consequences that follow a breach usually are not immediate. It can take months or even years until cybercriminals start using this data to access other websites where the same login details have been used.”

According to Markuson, a website haveibeenpwned.com now lists 8,506,873,299 accounts and 555,278,657 passwords that have been compromised in a data breach.

“Those huge numbers mean that if you’ve ever had an account online, at some point, your data was probably exposed in a breach,” he says.

By the way, haveibeenpwned.com, ran by a cybersecurity expert Troy Hunt, is a perfect place to check whether any of your accounts or passwords were exposed.

Markuson, shares some tips on how to clean up your digital history and stay safe online.

Make a list of all your old online accounts and start deleting them. Google your name, surname, and nickname you usually use online. There’s a high chance you’ll be surprised to see on how many different social media pages and forums your name appears. Go one-by-one and try deleting the ones you are not using anymore. It might be more difficult than it seems, and this process will require patience.

Another way to find your old accounts is checking your email and password manager. Try typing in the keyword “account” in your email-search. Most probably, it will show old emails containing registration confirmations.

Find all accounts linked to your social media or email. Connecting various social media accounts, services, websites, and apps seems convenient. However, quite often, we do not realize how many permissions we grant to third parties. We freely give out sensitive information to these apps and websites, and it stays there, even if we no longer use the service.

It is recommended you review which accounts are linked, what permissions you’ve given out, and rethink whether you are happy about that or not. Most importantly, revoke access to websites and apps that you no longer use.

Revise privacy settings and check accounts for sensitive data. Most social media platforms and forums have adjustable privacy settings. However, they are usually set to default, so you have to enable the ones you want. Be strict about what information you share. Remove all personal details from your profile, such as email, phone number, home address, or vacation plans shared on blogs, forums, and social networks.

While online, it is advised to remain vigilant. Don’t become too emotional in forums

and refrain from participating in heated discussions. This often brings more harm than good, as cyberbullying is becoming prevalent in social media.

If you decide to keep your accounts, make sure to change passwords. Don’t forget to change all of your passwords, even your WiFi password at home. Most importantly, never reuse the same password for several accounts and make sure all of your passwords are very strong. A reliable password usually includes letters, symbols, and numbers.

Finally, check haveibeenpwned.com to see if your email and password have been compromised in a data breach before. Use online security tools, especially if you don’t want to think about digital security. Many of us would better spend our days thinking about plenty of other much more interesting things than cybersecurity. If you don’t want to think about that, you need to use digital security tools.

A few of the most important ones are a password manager, which helps you to have the safest passwords; an antivirus and firewall, which help you to avoid malware and a VPN, which secures your browsing.

Daniel and Friends Fund touches the Heart of society In five years, Brackenfell-based non-profit organisation (NPO) Daniel and Friends Fund has changed the way in which society views the disabled, or “differently-abled”, as they coined the phrase.

Along with I am Special Ministries, a Durbanville-based upliftment and educational ministry, they established the Touching the Heart initiative.

“The Touching the Heart initiative is a

project which hopes to create an awareness within society of the challenges and adversity which hinder the lives of disabled and medically-fragile children, as well as the loved ones who care for them,” explains Daniel and Friends Fund director Lianie le Roux.

Their vision is captured in emotionally gripping photographs by Brackenfell photographer Candice Rodriques in a one-of-a-

kind coffee table book, published two years ago.

The fund was launched by Le Roux and Kate Laurie in January 2014 with the support of paediatrician Prof Pieter Fourie after their children passed away a week apart from one another.

Michelle Philips later joined as a director.

The fund provides a broad spectrum of

support to almost 160 families city-wide which include, emotional and psychological wellbeing of the entire family and where possible financial assistance.

I Am Special Ministries, founded by Luani Oosthuizen, dedicates itself to equipping children in predominantly underprivileged communities with fundamental skills in self-confidence and empowerment.

Beauty out of ice-cream sticks TIYESE JERANJI @jeranji

A

Rugby resident is doing his bit for the environment and he is able to put food on the table through his crafts.

Geoffrey Wentzel (62) collects icecream sticks and makes jewellery boxes, fruit baskets, pen holders, cellphone holders and lamps among other things.

The father of two got the idea when he accompanied his sister and her daughter to Groote Schuur Hospital. As we walked into the reception, this basket caught my attention as it sat on the front counter,” he says.

Out of curiosity he enquired about the basket and he was told it was made by one of the patients.

“I was amazed, and they showed me the patient. I asked for his blessing to copy the idea. I was looking for a source of income, and he agreed,” he says.

“Everywhere I go, I pick up things,” he says as he takes out a few sticks from his pocket.

“I love the environment and I believe this is me doing my bit. There are different sizes and shapes and it allows me to

try out different things. I really enjoy doing this and I hope people can also see the value,” he says.

Wentzel works as a handyman at three residential complexes. He also uses wooded pegs for some of the goods.

“This is very therapeutic for me and very relaxing. It has taught me patience and it allows me to connect with my creative being. I walk from Rugby to Mowbray and along the way I look for ice-cream sticks,” he says adding that he also uses toilet rolls to enhance some of his products.

Wentzel has gone through his own heartache. He is divorced and estranged from his two children. He also lost businesses and his house years ago.

“I didn’t give up, instead I looked at how I can do things different. What can I do? I tapped into that inner being and now I use the ideas I get from God. Anyone can do it. Find strength and turn things around.

“There is so much talent in the country.

I want my story to inspire someone. If I can do it anyone can do it. I love what I do, and I love looking after the environment. I’m in a very happy space when I’m making my products,” he says.

The City of Town has appealed for harsher penalties when it comes to drivers license fraud as these incidents have been detected at all its traffic departments.

This follows after two men, Benito Judiao Mazive and Stambuli Twabe, pleaded guilty to fraud in the Goodwood magistrate’s court on Wednesday 13 November.

The City’s Mayco member for safety and security, JP Smith, said the duo were arrested at the Goodwood traffic department on 2 May this year after producing false documentation.

“The men were each fined R1 500 by the court. Unfortunately, the City has no control over the sanctions imposed by the courts, but our appeal would be for harsher penalties if we are to make a meaningful impact on this particular challenge.

“Persons who end up on our roads without undergoing the prescribed driving tests and being deemed competent, are a danger not only to themselves, but other road users.”

On Saturday 9 November, staff at the Atlantis traffic department caught a woman with a fraudulent driving license. According to Cape Town’s traffic spokesperson, Maxine Bezuidenhout, the clerk at the enquiries desk noticed that the woman’s temporary driving license she presented upon arrival appeared to be fraudulent.

“She alerted management, who, upon checking the Natis system, found that the woman only had a learner’s license, despite claims that she had done her driving test at Goodwood.

“The suspect later confessed that she had paid a driving school R5 000 for the fake license.

“She was arrested and detained at Atlantis police station. The City’s Safety and Security Investigative Unit (SSIU), meanwhile, is looking into the allegations against the driving school,” said Bezuidenhout.

Smith warned if any person is caught with fake documents or number plates they will be arrested on a charge of fraud and handed over to the police for further investigation and prosecution.

“In the event that the person is convicted, a court of law will decide on the sentence to be imposed,” he said.

According to Smith, the City has not identified any “hotspots” as to where these documents and number plates are made. “When the City becomes aware of such incidents, the SSIU will investigate to determine any risk from a City perspective. Any information that is uncovered is handed over to police for further investigation and prosecution.”

The quality of forged documents sometimes makes it difficult to distinguish between authentic and fake documents, said Smith.

“It is true that the quality of forged documents makes them difficult to spot at times, but in most cases, officers will be able to identify these.

“Also, it is fairly easy to determine whether or not a document is fake or not, as officers have instant access to the eNatis database to check the credentials of a motorist or a vehicle. We have also acquired access to the department of home affairs database to verify documents.”

Bezuidenhout said those who seek to obtain fraudulent drivers license documents are also risking the lives of other motorists as their fitness to operate a vehicle has not been properly assessed.

A helping hand offered to entrepreneurs TIYESE JERANJI @jeranji First Business Wellness (FBW) is launching its breakfast club, to reach out to entrepreneurs.

The breakfast club aims to create awareness of compliance, ethics and accountability among small medium enterprises (SMEs).

The launch will take place at Blowfish restaurant, Dolphin Beach, 1 Marine Drive, Table View at 08:30 on Thursday 5 December.

Entry to the event is R120.

This month’s event is open, but future events will be for FBW members and their guests only.

FBW, a non-profit company, was formed to offer a holistic service to the small and medium-sized business sector (SME).

The association’s vision is to enable SMEs

achieve sustainable growth through the expertise of seasoned professionals across all business disciplines, primarily in the areas of brand strategy, accounting, legal, risk management and funding.

Chair of the association, Neil Smith says the contribution of SMEs to the South African economy is generally undervalued.

“The Banking Association of South Africa affirmed in a recent report that SMEs have been identified as productive drivers of inclusive economic growth in South Africa; providing employment to about 60% of the labour force.

“Their total economic output accounts for roughly 34% of GDP. South Africa has between 5.5 million and 6 million SME business owners.

“These entrepreneurs are the warriors on the ground, tenaciously turning the wheels

of economic growth. FBW is their gateway to sustainable growth,” he says.

With the breakfast club, Smith says the idea is to start involving local entrepreneurs.

“Most business incubators are trying to prepare entrepreneurs for business by offering training programmes in all the basic business aspects such as administration, legal issues, accounting and marketing.

“This is often overwhelming for the entrepreneur and they simply won’t be able to wear all hats and be competitive in the marketplace,” he says.

Smith explains that professionals and experts often operate in silos.

Parents get positive mindset SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS @samantha_lee121

A

group of 26 parents and grandparents have successfully completed a sevenweek positive parenting workshop aimed at modernising parenting skills.

The workshop was presented by The Parent Centre with participants from Mitchell’s Plain, Eagle Park, Southfield, Panorama, Bellville and Eerste River.

The participants are recruited from The Parent Centre’s three support groups aimed at assisting parents who are in need of guidance. Further participants are recruited through advertising on social media and local newspapers.

The support groups are hosted at Lentegeur Library, Lobelia Hall in Lentegeur and the Thusong Centre in Tafelsig.

The workshop started on Thursday 10 October and concluded with a certification ceremony on Thursday 21 November at the Lentegeur Library.

Berenice Scott, a parent facilitator and certified life coach, says the group includes mothers, fathers, grandparents and any other caregivers.

“The sessions were held every Thursday for seven consecutive Thursdays,” says Scott.

“At the support group they learn and unlearn and then relearn child behaviour.”

She facilitated the workshop with fellow parent facilitator, Ester Wilson.

The sessions covered effective discipline, building children’s self-esteem, listening to children’s feelings, understanding children’s behaviours, assertiveness and engaging cooperation, problem solving, values and family meetings.

Parents were also encouraged to employ the “robot” skill, which is red for stop, yellow for think and green for respond.

Tasneem Oostendorp, a participant, says as a young mother of three children, the training was invaluable.

“My husband sent me the advert via WhatsApp,” she says.

“This training has given us insight on dealing with our children. I did not realise there was rules. There are better ways to deal with children.

“I also know that building a relationship

with your child is of the utmost importance,” she added.

Shinaaz Adjiet, another participant that also took part in the temperament training workshop offered by the Parent Centre, says although her children are now older, she has learnt skills that she can pass on to other mothers and implement as a grandmother.

“I realised with this training that I have a spirited child and that I myself am spirited

The group who participated in the recent positive parenting workshop.

and that is why we maybe clashed.

“If I had this training when I was raising my children, it may have been different,” Adjiet admits.

“I am a grandmother now. It was so interesting – how to deal with and manage different character traits in children.”

LUNGELO MBANDAZAYO CITY MANAGER 139/2019

@tarryns07 You might have heard or read about diabetes, or you know someone with diabetes, or perhaps you are diabetic.

World Diabetes Day was commemorated on 14 November and the focus was on prevention and lifestyle changes such as regular check-ups, achieving a healthy body weight and exercise.

The provincial health department’s Northern Tygerberg Substructure’s Zolani Zenzile told TygerBurger out of the 23 032 screenings done between April 2018 and October 2019, 1 899 patients were diagnosed with diabetes.

He said people are at risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes, if: . you are over 45 years old; . you exercise less than three times per week; . you have high blood pressure; . you are overweight; and . you have a family history of Type 2 diabetes.

“It is important to prioritise healthy lifestyles. Physical activity and healthy eating are considered essential in combating a number of lifestyle diseases, including diabetes. Many deaths and complications can be avoided.

“We would therefore like to encourage people to go for screening,” said provincial minister Nomafrench Mbombo.

Zenzile explained that diabetes is a condition in which your body is unable to use the glucose from the food you eat.

“Glucose comes from foods such as breads, cereals, pasta, rice, potatoes, fruits and some vegetables.

“To use glucose, your body needs insulin, which is made by a gland in your body

called the pancreas. The disease affects one’s metabolism which can cause excessive urination and continuous thirst.

“There are two types. Type 1 occurs when the pancreas stops producing insulin.

These patients must inject insulin to survive. Type 2 diabetes is caused when the insulin, which the pancreas produces, is either not enough or does not work properly,” he said.

“Approximately 85 to 90% of all people with diabetes are type 2, and many people who have this condition are undiagnosed.”

According to Zenzile early diagnosis is important.

“If you are over 35 and have any of the risk factors, you should be tested every year.

“A simple finger-prick test can diagnose the strong likelihood that you may have diabetes within a minute.

“Diabetes is a serious illness. If it is left untreated or is not well managed, the high levels of blood glucose associated with diabetes can slowly damage both the fine nerves and the small and large blood vessels in the body, resulting in a variety of complications,” he said.

Symptoms of diabetes include: . frequent urination; . excessive thirst; . increased hunger; . unusual weight loss; . tiredness; . lack of interest and concentration; . blurred vision; . frequent or recurring infections; . cuts and bruises that are slow to heal, boils and itching skin; . tingling and numbness in the hands or feet; and . vomiting and stomach pain (often mistaken as the flu).

Children’s book on ADHD launched A

first of its kind book aims to create awareness about ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder).

With one in 20 children in South Africa living with ADHD and an estimated one million South African adults, the book All of these things are important to me, is the first fictional book launched in South Africa. Writers are hoping improved awareness will help early detection and intervention.

The book, illustrated by David Griessel, is co-written by Prof Renata Schoeman, a psychiatrist, and the co-author of the South African management guidelines for ADHD, and celebrated author, Refiloe Moahloli.

Schoeman’s practice is based in Oude Westhof.

The book explores the adventurous life of Zee in a short and colourful narrative in English, Afrikaans, isiXhosa, isiZulu and Sesotho, and through its captivating storytelling, explains how a child with ADHD perceives and lives in the world. The second part of the book offers a simple, but accurate explanation of ADHD: what it is, how it is diagnosed and how it is managed. It also offers valuable advice for parents, educators and health care professionals in understanding and managing ADHD. Schoeman says ADHD is a condition often misdiagnosed, and plagued by myths and misunderstandings, particularly with regard to treatment.

“When undiagnosed or not effectively treated, ADHD often sees children being unfairly labelled as naughty, delinquent, unteachable, and as adults, as lazy or incompetent. It’s important to talk about ADHD and how it hampers educational performance, self-esteem, relationships and productivity. We also need to create awareness about other mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression and substance abuse, which can sometimes surface when ADHD is either mistreated or goes undetected.”

Schoeman says the playful narrative of the book was intentional to ensure that children are entertained whilst parents use the scientific content to answer their children or even their own, questions about ADHD. “We wanted to create a resource that would be accessible to as many South Africans as possible in native languages and in the voice of a child with which both children, parents and teachers, could resonate.”

“The manner in which ADHD is talked about with a child can have an enormous impact on their perception of their value in the world.

The right books can help and in South Africa there are no resources available to guide parents, teachers and carers. Parenting a child with ADHD can be challenging if one is not equipped but if you seek the right knowledge you can untap the potential of your children and help them to cope with their symptoms better.” . Proceeds from the book will be donated to the Goldilocks and the Bear Foundation, founded by Prof Schoeman and athlete Nic de Beer in 2017, which funds and manages the screening of children in underprivileged areas, not only for the early detection and intervention of ADHD but also other mental health conditions and learning difficulties.

The Foundation trains teachers and caregivers and upskill NGO’s in the early detection of ADHD and other mental health disorders. To date they have offered free mental health services to 21 781 children in the Western Cape and opened an ADHD screening centre at the Tygerberg Hospital earlier this year.

They have also expanded to Gauteng where they launched in October 2019, and plan to be operational from early 2020. . The book is available for R100 from the Foundation (info@gb4adhd.co.za) and via sponsorships will be donated to schools and public libraries.

Lego definitely not only for kids, adults have fun building too!

ESMÉ ERASMUS @erasmusesme Cow manure may soon be converted to electricity to complement the current Eskom feed to a company in Klipheuwel, if the project is supported by the City of Cape Town.

Ruan Beneke, councillor for ward 105, which includes Klipheuwel, submitted a motion at the meeting of subcouncil 7 last Monday that the subcouncil in principle support this biogas electrification project in Klipheuwel. According to the municipal agenda Afgri Animal Feeds in Klipheuwel is looking at alternative energy sources to complement its current Eskom feed.

One such alternative is a green energy option in which methane gas from cow manure will be converted to electricity, and relayed back to Afgri Animal Feeds from the adjacent farm. To proceed, a servitude needs to be registered over a small portion of City land and comment from subcouncil will be required as part of the process.

In order to expedite the application process, which still needs to be initiated by Afgri Animal Feeds, a recommendation that subcouncil in principle support this initiative was accepted at the meeting.

NIELEN DE KLERK @nielendk For years Lego has enchanted children around the globe.

With movies, board games, robotics, books and even clothing, the humble brick has morphed into a multi-billion dollar industry.

In the background, it has also had a growing following of a different kind – adults.

No longer are parents doomed to unintentionally step on their children’s lego bricks and hurting themselves while barefoot. These days grown-ups step on their own lego bricks.

These adults are called AFOLs – Adult Fans Of Lego. Increasingly these AFOLs are getting together to share their passion for the interlocking plastic brick.

The CapeLUG group (LEGO User Group) was formed in 2016 by Marick Hornsveld from Somerset West.

The group now has 44 members from across the Cape.

They come together bi-monthly in Pinelands and have building competitions. Every other month they have a social gathering called Brickday.

Here members can share ideas and show what they’re working on.

In March 2019 the group was officially recognised by the Lego Group in Denmark and is now CapeLUG has also achieved RLUG status in March 2019 (Recognised LEGO®️ User Group) that means CapeLUG is now recognised by the LEGO®️ Group in Denmark.

Elmar Wentzel, one of the members who lives in Malmesbury, says he finds his hobby very relaxing.

An engineer by day, he enjoys “following the instructions and creating something without thinking too much about it.”

He spends around seven to eight hours a week on it but says it’s not enough. He shares the hobby with his wife Colleen and together they have a separate room for their collection. The cost of it all differs from person to person, he says.

“Like any hobby, it depends on yourself

Manure could be power

Drivers robbed and attacked in Delft

A display by the CapeLUG (LEGO User Group) how extreme you want to go. It is a quality product and also has collector’s value.”

He realised he wasn’t the only adult who enjoys Lego around four years ago when he spent time in a toyshop looking at the product.

Here he met other shoppers and they started chatting about their passion.

Elmar says the biggest joy is when the group displays their goods at malls. “The expression on children’s faces during public displays - absolutely priceless!”

Your chance to see one of these displays

in real life (and even sign up) is fast approaching.

The next CapeLUG will be on 30 November from 9:00 to 16:00 at Willowbridge Shopping Centre.

Around 40 tables will display all sorts of Lego creations and organisers say this will be the biggest CapeLUG display to date.

VThe CapeLUG welcomes new members. Those interested aren’t required to own a minimum amount of Lego to️ join. To join visit www.capelug.co.za or email info@capelug.co.za, alternatively contact 061 234 1133.

Several incidents of robbery and assault of Uber, Bolt and delivery truck drivers have been reported to the Delft police.

The police have warned drivers to always be alert when picking up or dropping off clients and delivering goods.

“Suspects at times pose as clients and then they rob the drivers of their belongings, assault, kidnap and even kill them. First make sure of the address where you must deliver or pick up clients and observe the area to make sure it is safe. If you feel unsafe or suspicious of the surroundings or people, drive to the nearest police station or flag down a police vehicle for assistance,” says Captain John Bartlett, police spokesperson.

People with information about illegal activities are requested to contact the Delft police on 021 954 9011 or 0860 010 111. All information will be treated as confidential.

Local production to screen soon SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS @samantha_lee121

A

new feature film about the life and trials of a young woman from Bishop Lavis has been making waves on social media, with the film set to become available from Sunday 1 December.

Meisie Vani Lavis will be available soon.

The film Meisie vani Lavis is the brainchild of Mitchell’s Plain local, Mark Matroos and features a local cast.

The movie features rapper K-Nine die Hond, Von D Kemp, Charmaine Segels, Barryl Pietersen and Melissa De Vries Joseph.

“I want to tell our people’s stories as it is; our daily life on the Cape Flats with no filters,” says Matroos.

“With this movie, we want to bring awareness of violence against women and also to listen to your mom and not to get involved with the wrong elements in the communities,” he adds.

The film took around 25 days to film and is self-produced.

The film is also entirely improvised.

“We did not have a script everything was improvised,” he says.

“I think it took about 20 to 25 days to film. We shot about two to three hours a day. It was self-produced and I can’t really say how much it cost, because I funded the movie myself.”

Matroos founded Mojam Entertainment which is the official producer of the film. The married father of two moved around from Eerste River to Mitchell’s Plain where he now resides.

“I like watching movies, I never thought that I would end up making my own. There is a few stuff I want to do next year as I am also part of the duo Afrikaans Ruk that

An official launch and screening of the film will be held at the Portland Indoor Centre on Sunday 1 December at 18:00. Tickets cost R50 per person.

Following the screening, the film will be available on DVD. A total of 70% of the tickets have already been sold. “Audiences can expect drama and some hard-hitting action and thriller,” Matroos says.

Meisie Vani Lavis is about a young girl named Veruscha who grew up in Bishop Lavis. She is well mannered, comes from a church background and is raised by a single mother named Antie Mainie.

Life is hard for them and sometimes there is no food to eat.

This closely knitted bond between mother and daughter quickly unravels. Everything changes when Veruscha starts hanging out with a troubled youth named Menta who is mixed up with a few bad guys from the area.

Veruscha’s world spirals out of control while her mom is trying to warn her of the dangers of hanging out with the wrong friends.

She refuses to listen and ends up learning a hard lesson.

Things to consider with holiday homes W

hen going away at the end of the year, chances are that one dreams about what it would be like to live in their favourite holiday town full-time – or at least think about the possibility of buying a property there that they could let out most of the time and also use as their vacation home.

“People who are enjoying a perfect getaway often start to think like this, which is why the July and December holiday seasons in South Africa’s coastal and country resort areas are generally boom times for local estate agents,” Carl Coetzee, chief executive officer of home loan originator BetterBond, said.

He further said that buy-to-let investments in holiday homes can be very reward-

ing, but as any other property, buyers should avoid making decisions in haste and do some proper research before they commit to relocation or purchase of a second home.

“For example, holidaymakers keen to relocate should bear in mind that they probably always see their favourite area at its best – when it is full of other happy visitors and when the best weather can be expected.

“Out of season, the area could be wet and windy, for example, or too hot for comfort.

It will most likely also offer fewer employment opportunities and much lower prospects of establishing and sustaining a new business. It makes sense to delay your decision until you are back in ‘work mode’ – and until you have visited the ocean at different times of the year to ensure that it real-

ly offers the lifestyle you envisage. Prices are also likely to be more negotiable if you buy in the off-season.”

Coetzee said that if one’s plan is to buy a second home that they can use for their own holidays and let out on a short-term basis for the rest of the year, one will also need to check the demand for holidays in off-peak times.

“You should be prepared for the fact that it is usually tougher to obtain a bond for a second home, even if it will be bringing in rental income. Most lenders will be looking for you to pay a sizeable deposit on any buyto-let property and will still probably only offer you a home at a higher rate of interest than on your primary property. However, you can ensure that you get the best possible

financing deal by applying through a reputable originator. Our multi-lender application process ensures that the banks know they are competing for your home loan business.

This not only speeds up the response time, but also ensures that lenders immediately make their ‘best offers’ applicable to your financial circumstances. You get to choose the best terms and interest rate available, and this can make a significant difference to the affordability of your property.” When planning to buy a holiday home that is exclusively for one’s own use, Coetzee said one may well be attracted to one of the many security developments that have sprung up around coastal towns and villages to meet the rising demand for lock-up-and-leave weekend homes.

Noordelikes hou bekeruitdeling Die rugbyklub Noordelikes het sy jaarlikse bekeruitdeling in die klubhuis op Avonwood-

park in Avonwood gehou.

Hier is foto’s van die wenners.

Jerome Sanderson (middel) is as die beste voorspeler in die derde span aangewys. By hom staan (van links) Willie Appolis en James Martin.

Tyrone Houtsamer (regs) is as die beste agterspeler in die derde span aangewys. Hier ontvang hy sy beker van Nigel Clayton, sy afrigter.

Grant Heugh (regs), kaptein van Noordelikes, is as die sportman van die jaar aangewys. Charles Williams, voorsitter van die rugbyklub Van der Stel-Evergreens op Stellenbosch en voormalige speler van Noordelikes, het die beker aan hom oorhandig.

Power Series revs up for final races The season finale of this year’s Power Series sponsored by Wingfield Motors at Killarney International Raceway on Saturday 30 November features an additional attraction in the form of a onehour endurance race for the Burly Pro GTi Challenge racers.

This category, as its name suggests, is only open to Volkswagens of various models, nearly all using some version of the proven two-litre GTi engine.

The longer format gives race fans a rare opportunity to watch frantic pit-stops, tyre swops, driver changes and even emergency repairs after crashes or breakdowns. Its a fascinating aspect of motor racing that we don’t get to see in the exciting quick-fire eight and 10-lap sprint races that make up the regional championship Power Series at the home of motorsport in the Western Cape.

The bumper programme for the day also includes sprint races for the GTi Challenge, Shatterfix Fine and Millstock Cars Pre 1980 and 1990 Cars, V8 Masters and Makita Supercars, Pirelli Sports and GT cars and Formula Libre openwheelers, as well as two motorcycle categories, the RST Trac Mac Clubmans, Classic and Breakfast Run Motorcycles and the RST Trac Mac Powersport Motorcycles.

The Burly Pro GTi Challenge racers will take on a one-hour endurance race.

PHOTO: COLIN BROWN Each round of the Power Series also includes a Fan Walk during the lunch break when spectators are invited down onto the circuit to meet the drivers and see the cars up close.

Fine food and ice-cold drinks are available at the revamped, upmarket Trackside Pub and Grill, upstairs at the Clubhouse. Light snacks and even colder drinks are at the New Pits Lounge and the Karting Clubhouse. Watch all the action, captured by cameras all around the circuit, as well as live timing, on TV screens on the Clubhouse Balcony and in the New Pits Lounge. Then hop on the free Hyundai Shuttle and watch it live

from vantage points all round the circuit. Bring the whole family there are pedal karts, jungle gyms and more for petrolheads-in-training at the Clubhouse Kiddies Korner and below the New Pits Lounge.

Parents of toddlers are welcomed to the Kiddies Korner nursery, where you’ll find fridges to keep juice boxes cold, nappy-changing and breastfeeding facilities, as well as toilets and wash-up facilities for running repairs. Gates open at 07:30, with racing beginning at 10:00.

Enter now for 20th Gugs Race This year the ever-popular RCS Gugs Race celebrates its 20th anniversary as Cape Town’s Reconciliation Day (16 December) race – where runners and supporters from all cultural groups and all walks of life will come together in the spirit of peace and unity.

Title sponsor RCS - a subsidiary of global French bank BNP Paribas Personal Finance - has been integral to the growth of this important sporting event over the past ten years, and CEO Regan Adams believes the ethos of the race is more relevant to the country and its people now than ever.

“During the Rugby World Cup South Africans recently felt the unifying power of sport as a unique and important connection that binds people together.

The RCS Gugs Race has been connecting runners from different communities across the city through a common goal for the past 20 years. We are proud to be part of this vibrant township’s legacy, as title sponsor of one of its most important sporting events,” he says.

The race honours the spirit of compassion of American anti-apartheid activist The start of

Amy Biehl who passed away in Gugulethu in 1993.

Chair of the Gugulethu Athletics Club, Aubrey Shoko adds that instilling a running culture among residents of this vibrant township is another important legacy of the race - bringing people from different communities together in pursuit of their health and wellness goals. The race is accessible to runners of all fitness levels, and includes a 10km as well as a 4.2km option.

Both races start and finish at the NY49 Stadium where familyfriendly entertainment and colourful food and beverage stalls manned by local residents round off this unique township race day experience.

VEntries are available online at www.entrytime.com or at the venue on race day from 05:30.

SOFTBALL: TIGHT FINISHES AT TURFHALL

Belhar Dolphins fall NOORE NACERODIEN

L

ittle after a week after going down 17-4 to Falcons, Belhar Dolphins fought hard, but ultimately succumbed to Westridge Yankees 7-5 in their Cape Town Softball Association Major league match in Turfhall on Sunday 24 November.

Elsewhere, Table View Tornadoes felt the wrath of Falcons, going down 9-4.

In the Super League, both games produced tight finishes.

In a game that produced 24 hits, Glenthorn A’s edged out Kenfac Phillies 8-7 in the early game.

A’s started off with four runs in the first innings, but Phillies’ Carla Swanepoel (2/4) cleared the boundary cones, scoring three runs in the process.

Jenna Moses (3/4) did well with the bat for Phillies with three scattered singles.

The game was marred by both sides not able to capitalise on having runners on base with Phillies (10) and A’s (8) runners left stranded on base.

A’s took 15 hits off Ester van den Heever while Phillies scored 9 hits off Lisa Erasmus

who struck out three batters and gave up a 6 free bases.

Lefty, Courtney Stevens, was the pick of the A’s batting with a flawless 4/4, including a double.

Former Old Mutual Cubs stalwart, Zulfah Stellenboom (3/3), and Chaunees Goliath (2/3) were the other top offensive performers for A’s.

In the late game Westridge Yankees held on to inflict a first loss on Lavender Hill beating them 4-3.

Other results: Major league: Westridge Yankees 7, Belhar Dolphins 5; Lavender Hill 18, Kuils River Cougars 2; Falcons 9, Table View Tornados 4 First league: Panthers 5, Glenthorn A’s 11; St Martins 10, Lavender Hill 2; Battswood 14, Blackheath 1; Crusaders 0, Khayelitsha Eagles 7 Second league: Kenfac Phillies 7, Titans 11; Table View Tornados 0, Devonshire Rovers 16; Falcons 10, Tantasport 3
