Lenteblomme is hier DESIRÉE RORKE @dezzierorke

N

á die goeie winterreën ontvou ’n kleurryke see van blommeprag nou in die Bracken-natuurreservaat.

“Wilderoosmaryn, wildedagga, salie, suurvygies, sterretjies, draadblaar en wit magrietblomme is net ’n paar van die verskeie blomsoorte in die reservaat wat tans aan die blom is,” sê dr. Mariette Wheeler,

voorsitter van die Vriende van die Brackennatuurreservaat.

Besoekers kan ook uitkyk vir ’n verskeidenheid van voël- en diersoorte.

Daaronder is die rooipensskilpad, blaasoppie-padda, Kaapse duinmol en Kaapse ystervark.

Voëls sluit in die Kaapse fisant, witkruismuisvoël, karoolangstertjie, swerfvalk, rooiborsjakkalsvoël, jangroentjie, tarentale en mossies.

“Baie gebiede reg oor die stad is reeds met lenteblomme bedek, maar die stadsreservate is waarlik die moeite werd om te besoek, aangesien hierdie bewaringsgebiede die perfekte plekke bied om van hierdie besienswaardighede te geniet, terwyl besoekers die res van die natuurskoon by die reservate kan verken,” sê Marian Nieuwoudt, burgemeesterskomiteelid vir omgewingsake en raadslid in Brackenfell.

“Ons reservate is ryk aan plantegroei en

dierelewe, en ek glo dat baie Kapenaars hierdie wonderlike reservate nog nie ontdek het nie. As ’n besoek om vanjaar se bloeisels te sien nog nie op jou program is nie, moedig ek jou aan om dit ernstig te oorweeg.

“Die Bracken-natuurreservaat spog jaarliks met pragtige lenteblomme – ’n skouspel wat inwoners nie kan misloop nie.

Nieuwoudt herinner daaraan dat die beste tyd om blomme te kyk in die namiddag is.

Durbanville Scouts celebrate 65 years of activity T

he 1st Durbanville Scouts celebrate 65 years of scouting this year after its humble beginnings in a garage in Plein Street in 1954.

This dynamic scout group is part of the greater world-wide scouting organisation, which is over 110 years old.

“1st Durbanville is one of the top Scout troops in the Western Cape, regularly placed in the top three of major regional scouting competitions. We produce a procession of young people with great skills, commitment and passion for their country,” said Ray Middleton, an assistant troop scouter at 1st Durbanville Scouts, who has been with the group for many years.

The scout group recently met with Alan Winde, Western Cape premier, to participate in planting The Great Labyrinth of Africa Project at East Hills Farm outside Stellenbosch.

What makes this project unique is that the labyrinth is being created using spekboom, a native South African tree that is very effective in removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

The 1st Durbanville Cubs first met in a garage in Plein Street and was officially registered as the 1st Durbanville Scouts on 22 April 1955.

In 1956 the Durbanville municipality provided the group with a vacant property in Queen Street and in that same year 1st Durbanville Scouts managed to erect a prefabricated building on the site.

“This served as the 1st Durbanville Scout hall until 1964 when the municipality asked the group to surrender the hall to the Durbanville Lions Club,” said Middleton.

The municipality then allocated the 1st Durbanville Scouts the use of the old abattoir on the corner of Louw Street and De Villiers Drive.

“At the time there were only two buildings on the property – the caretaker’s cottage and the abattoir itself. The abattoir had a sloping floor and gutters for the blood of slaughtered animals to run down into a cesspit situated at the back of the property.

Two kraals and piles of animal bones formed part of the landscape,” Middleton said.

In the next two years the floor was levelled and all the kraals and bones removed.

Thereafter, 1st Durbanville Scouts invested heavily in the building of ablutions, a kitchen, two equipment stores and two meeting rooms for the leadership of both the scout troop and the cub pack, he said.

The group also acquired a prefabricated building in the 1980s and erected it at the back of the erf. This building became the hall of Durbanville Girl Guides.

In 2015 the group made another massive investment in the form of a multi-purpose centre, which was built to cater for small meetings and other scouting events such as

Oliver and his patrol assisted at Monica’s Soup Kitchen in Fisantekraal to serve food to almost 60 children over the past four weeks. They also made masks to hand out to the children. scout patrol leader and cub sixer meetings.

The group currently consists of 44 Scouts and is supported by seven qualified adult leaders, as well as 36 Cubs, supported by six qualified adult leaders. The scout group also has a vibrant Rover Crew of young adults over the age of 18 years. “The group has been on this property for more than 50 years and is rightly regarded as part of the community,” Middleton added.

They have recently started to develop the lower part of the property into a camp site to facilitate training for all troops in the Western Cape.

“Now, the building of an ablution facility for the scouts is on the cards. The grounds are regularly used for scouting competitions and camps for other Scout groups such as 1st Gugulethu, 1st Darling, 1st Paarl and 1st Northpine. The grounds are used every year for the Kanonkop District camp fire, where all the troops in the district join in an evening of song,” he said.

Tara Casaleggio is one of three scouts of 1st Durbanville Scouts who undertook a community project for her Springbok Award for community service. Tara and her patrol created eco-bricks, which will be used to build a retaining wall.

@dezzierorke The payment of the special Covid-19 social relief disability grant by Sassa is quicker if paid directly into a bank account.

Thus, approved Sassa beneficiaries without bank accounts are encouraged to open one, and have opportunity to do so until Sunday 6 September.

“During this period, beneficiaries can change from receiving their grants at the post office to receiving them through their personal bank accounts. They may also change from one bank to another if they prefer to,” said Paseka Letsatsi, Sassa spokesperson in a statement on Thursday.

Approved beneficiaries for the grant may change their payment method by visiting https://srd.sassa.gov.za during this time.

This is done in an effort to address challenges some beneficiaries have experienced in trying to access their special relief grant from post offices.

“It is important for beneficiaries to understand that they should not go to the post office before they have received the SMS notification that says funds are available. The SMS notification is used to limit the number of people reporting to a post office on a particular day and also to ensure that sufficient cash is available,” said Paseka. When choosing a bank account, ensure that the account is in your name as Sassa cannot pay money for one person into the account held by another, and that the bank account is not closed.

The payment process is delayed if money is sent to a closed account, as Sassa has to wait for the funds to be returned before sending it to the post office for collection”.

Paseka says clients who update their details should ensure that their information is captured correctly to avoid delays.

“There are many entry level, inexpensive options in the market, some of which can be opened online.

“Clients who have just been approved for the relief grant by Sassa and have received an SMS to upload and verify their

bank details, can do so at any time and need not wait for the window period. The sooner the details are uploaded, the quicker the payments can be made.”

“Furthermore, applicants who opted to receive their special Covid-19 grant through cash transfer will indeed get their August payment through this preferred method.

“Beneficiaries must also ensure that cellphone numbers they provided to Sassa to receive payments are registered in their own names and not in the names of other people like relatives or neighbours.

“It is mandatory that the cellphone number should have gone through the Rica process in order for payment to be done through it”.

Any citizen who does not update their information during this window period, or who provides incorrect banking details will have the payments for the remaining months sent through to the post office.

Chemistry much easier thanks to teamwork NIELEN DE KLERK AND HARRIET BOX @nielendk

Y

ou thought chemistry was difficult?

Imagine chemistry in another language with little terminology in your mother tongue.

Lecturers at the University of the Western Cape (UWC) have come up with a new way to teach the periodic table more effectively, especially for Xhosa-speaking students.

Dr Sebolelo Mokapela, Professor Mmaki Jantjies and Professor Fanelwa Ajayi all

Mans eindelik voor ná kaarte glo gekloon is NIELEN DE KLERK @nielendk

work in vastly different fields and brought their skills together to help learners tackle chemistry in their own language.

Together they developed a research project where students cannot only learn elements in Xhosa but view virtual chemistry elements in their real environment by using augmented reality (AR).

Mokapela is a senior lecturer and head of African Language Studies who is translating chemistry practical content and aspects of the periodic table into Xhosa; Jantjies is an expert in the use of unique augmented reality tools to teach students about ele-

A student at the University of the Western Cape (UWC) demonstrates how she uses augmented reality (AR) to see chemistry elements in real life. In a pilot study, three researchers at the university have not only translated elements into Xhosa, but are using methods like AR to make the subject more accessible.

ments in the periodic table; and, Ajayi is overseeing the chemistry-related aspect of the project.

Says Mokapela: “Students in their first year often have to adjust to the trying experience of lectures only being offered in English. And if they’re trying to understand the content of a confusing lecture afterwards, they would find that even the resource materials are available only in a complicated academic English.”

Mokapela and her Masters’ candidate Thobinceba Siyatha took the existing chemistry subject matter and translated it into Xhosa. The project will keep students from spending time with a dictionary trying to make sense of technical terms.

Jantjies from the university’s department of information systems developed a system whereby students could use mobile phones and tablets to view virtual chemistry elements in their real environment.

“As part of the pilot phase, we began the project by using several existing chemistry augmented reality (AR) applications, including the Si Reality AR periodic table. We are currently in a long-term collaborative project of developing AR chemistry tools to enhance learning in science lessons.”

Ajayi, also the founder of AmaQawe ngeMfundo, a non-profit foundation which promotes and enriches science, technology, engineering, and mathematics learning by providing assistance with on-site experiments at schools in marginalised communities, was tasked with making chemistry more relatable.

“It is encouraging to see something that was generally difficult to understand for first-year students, really abstract concepts, now being grasped,” she says.

plates for motor vehicle dealers must be renewed by 31 November.

Driver’s licences, learner’s licences and roadworthy certificates must be renewed by 31 January 2021.

According to a statement by the City of Cape Town, customers who could not renew their licences due to lockdown, but who needed to renew their licences before 26 March when the lockdown was implemented but failed to do so, will have to pay penalties. ‘‘Please visit offices early in the day or make use of online services where possible. Social distancing must please be adhered to when visiting our customer offices,’’ says the City’s Mayco member for finance, Ian Neilson.

Grace period extended for vehicle licences Motorists whose vehicle licences expired between March and May and initially had a grace period until 31 August for renewals now have until 22 September.

The City of Cape Town has confirmed this extension with officials from provincial government and the Road Traffic Management Corporation. No interest or penalties will be charged if motor vehicle licences are renewed by 22 September.

According to the regulations of the national department of transport, licence discs that expired on 31 March, 30 April and 31 May, as well as 31 August should now be renewed by 22 September. Discs that expired on 30 June and 31 July had to be renewed by 21 July and 21 August respectively.

Daarna is die saak egter voorlopig teruggetrek sodat die ondersoek voltooi kon word.

Die mans is verlede week in kennis gestel dat hulle in Oktober in die Bellvillehandelshof moet verskyn op 233 aanklagte van bedrog en 334 aanklagte wat verband hou met die oortreding van die Wet op Elektroniese Kommunikasie en Transaksies.

The City acknowledged some customers using their online services have experienced technical issues in recent weeks.

“We have been hard at work to fix those problems and staff are working overtime to assist customers with their applications. We remind customers that as a result of the influx of online renewal applications, postal service delays may occur.”

What to expect when visiting an office: . Covid-19 screening at the entrances. . Limited number of customers allowed in at a time. . Social distancing must be adhered to. . Visit early in the day. . You only need your ID for motor vehicle licensing and registration renewals.

Fallen soldiers remembered

The new courtyard garden at Rust-en-Vrede will be launched on Saturday.

Visit gallery garden at Rust-en-Vrede A

s a result of nationwide Covid-19 lockdown a beautiful garden initiative was born at Rust-en-Vrede Gallery.

The gallery presents a community event on Saturday 5 September from 10:00 to 15:00 to launch its new courtyard garden.

“The Gallery’s Garden” initiative was born from the need to create a self-sustaining community project that complements the gallery’s existing day-to-day offerings to the public, says Hamlin Jansen van Vuuren, curator.

“During the lockdown Rust-en-Vrede Gallery, like many other local businesses and community centres, temporarily closed its doors to the public,” she says.

What started as a family project for Jacques and Candice Lombard from the Belt and Band Studio (on the Rust-en-Vrede

premises) quickly evolved into a project involving the entire complex, as well as Durbanville residents who are passionate about Rust-en-Vrede. “Support was also given by a range of local businesses,” Van Vuuren says.

“People in the community are invited to come and enjoy the day with us. They will learn more about the vision for the new courtyard garden and how it will help to support the Rust-en-Vrede heritage site,” she invites.

This event is open to the public and is free of charge. There will be live music, curated stalls and public talks focussing on gardening, a ceramic planter exhibition in the clay museum, an art auction, giveaways and more. Covid-19 safety regulations will be implemented.

Those who laid down their lives in times of war were remembered at the annual war commemoration service held at Bellville War Memorial on Sunday. This year, proceedings were hosted by the Bomb Alley Shellhole of the Memorable Order of Tin Hats (Moth). Shellholes from around Cape Town and the Caledonian Bag Pipes took part in the ceremony. Major Chris Mahon, a former soldier of the British army, delivered an evocative commemorative speech.

Names of soldiers from the northern suburbs of Cape Town who died in various wars are inscripted on the Cenotaph at the Bellville Civic Centre.

Physio team recognised as coronavirus heroes A team of physiotherapists who work with Covid-19 patients at Tygerberg Hospital has been recognised as coronavirus heroes.

The team consists of Alison Pieterse, Liezel Arendse and Leana Louw who provide an essential service to the public during these challenging times, says hospital spokesperson, Laticia Pienaar.

The Hero Amongst Us Campaign seeks to highlight an official’s achievements, abilities or personal qualities during the Covid-19 pandemic.

In the eyes of hospital staff, he or she or a group can also be regarded as role models, Pienaar explains.

“We use our hands as tools or instruments for offering comfort, peace, dignity and courage. This could include physiotherapy techniques and knowledge, comforting a patient by holding their hand and listening to their story, or offering a glass of water.

“When we enter an isolation room, we are no longer just identified as a physiotherapist, but a help in time of need, whatever the patient’s need at that moment,” the team explained by mouth of Pienaar.

t has been almost a year since families were forcefully removed from their Klein Akker Farm homes in Kraaifontein to spend days on the side of Botfontein Road before being moved to Mesco Farm near Stellenbosch.

“We were promised that this was just a temporary solution until government finds permanent houses for us to stay,” a resident at Mesco Farm says.

The resident met with TygerBurger away from the farm and agreed to speak to the paper anonymously due to fear of victimisation.

“Many residents here still have hope that government will help us with housing, but I know that will never happen.

“Too many promises have been made and we have been taken from pillar to post, but all that was to distract our attention (of fighting to get decent housing),” she says.

She says no help from local, provincial or national government has been offered, instead individual and non-government organisations (NGOs) have been the ones offering assistance.

“Government has long forgotten about us. I believe they will only start coming here closer to elections. We only get visitors from independent organisations who offer us help.”

While the City of Cape Town’s Malusi Booi, Mayco member for human settlement, directed our enquiry to the national land reform and rural development department, Marcellino Martin from the provincial department says they were requested to assist by finding a long-term solution for the residents.

“Finding a temporary solution is the responsibility of the City of Cape Town in terms of the court order obtained,” he says.

He says the City had offered them accommodation, but it was rejected. Martin further says only three of the residents are registered on the City’s housing database.

“The department has in the meantime screened the beneficiaries and only three are registered on the City’s database and waiting list. This is one of the criteria to qualify for assistance in order to avoid queue jumping.” He says the department is looking for alternative land for the residents.

Asked if there has been engagements with the residents, Martin says these have been limited to meetings arranged and coordinated by the national government.

VAN BLADSY 1 Vir die naweek van 11 tot 14 September beplan die Vriende van die Bracken-natuurreservaat ’n fotokompetisie genaamd “iSpy Spring Challenge”.

Wheeler verduidelik: “Besoekers aan die reservaat word aangemoedig om foto’s van blomspesies te neem en vir ons aan te stuur via die iNaturalist-sagtewareprogram.” ’n Informele opleidingsessie daaroor sal op Zoom aangebied word op Donderdag 10 September.

Mense van alle ouderdomme word aangemoedig om deel te neem en só by te dra tot burgerlike wetenskap.

“Foto’s sal daarna deur die Stad Kaapstad se biodiversiteitsdepartement op rekord gehou word, met erkenning aan die fotograwe, wat hulle sal help om hul spesielyste op datum te hou. Daardeur dra die deelnemers dan direk by tot biodiversiteitbewaring op ’n prettige en gesellige manier,” sê Wheeler.

Daar gaan ook verskeie pryse op die spel wees en aanlyn aktiwiteite vir kinders.

Besoekers word ook daaraan herinner om te alle tye ’n masker te dra om hul neus en mond te bedek en om fisieke afstand op die voetpaadjies te handhaaf.

Die Stad Kaapstad bestuur 21 natuurreservate in Kaapstad, waarvan baie naby aan stedelike gebiede geleë is, sê Nieuwoudt.

Meer inligting oor die “iSpy Spring Challenge”, asook inligting oor die Zoom-opleiding in iNaturalist, sal beskikbaar wees op die Friends of Bracken Nature Reserve se blad op Facebook.

Teen on a mission to change the world THABANG KUAHO @thab_journo

A

teenager from Scottsville has been chosen to be part of Food for Mzansi’s Sinelizwi Citizen Journalism Programme in partnership with the Google News Initiatives.

Evan Rosant (14) decided to apply for this programme because he wants to expose what residents of Scottsville have normalised.

“Whenever there are shootings at night nobody thinks of calling the police, we just wonder who has been shot.

“We have normalised shootings and gangsterism so much in Scottsville that we have become immune to it,” he says.

14-year-old Evan Rosant from Scottsville is one of the chosen individuals who form part of Food for Mzansi’s Citizen Journalism Programme which is in partnership with Google News Initiative.

He says kids see things differently from adults, a quality that makes him the right person for this role. Being part of the programme, Rosant says he is able to help those around him speak out against the social ills his community faces.

He is on a mission to change the world and says journalism is one of the tools that will allow him to do just that.

“I do not see myself as a journalist, I am merely using this as a tool in my mission to change the world. But if my plans do not work out, I would consider taking up journalism as a career”.

He says the citizen journalist project is the best thing that could happen for the youth because it allows them to voice their concerns about issues that affect them.

Concerned with the care and upliftment of young women, non-profit organisation Be the Difference’s (BTD) annual Amara Project event, which aims to place value upon womanhood and creating an environment where their souls can be inspired and spirits empowered, took place on Thursday 27 August at Wallacedene Secondary School.

BTD’s Granthem Abrahams says the project focuses on young women from all walks of life.

“This project is aimed at instilling a greater sense of self-worth and purpose while we firmly seek opportunities to promote young women’s perception of their own value and worth as human beings,” Abrahams says.

“The foundation is founded in the values of love, respect, integrity, servanthood and unity. These values are especially significant to this initiative as it corresponds with the aim and focus of the project,” he adds.

Girls from Wallacedene and Hector Peterson secondary schools as well as Scottsville High School took part in the project this year.

“Due to the lockdown, we could not host all learners from the five schools we include in this project in one venue, so we hold different events for the schools,” he explains.

The smaller groups, however, allowed the organisation to serve more girls.

The event saw hope being served to Grade 12 girls when they received sanitary goodie bags loaded with toiletries and treats.

The girls also indulged in a nutritous meal, popcorn as well fizzy drinks.

Builder’s Warehouse human resources administrator and manager Noluvuyo Sawu and Joyce Thambo as well as the foundation’s secretary and social worker were the guest speakers for the day.

Metro police officers recently recovered a stash of long range rifle rounds in Parow.

The rounds were sniffed out by their K9, Max, says spokesperson Ruth Solomons.

“Just before 16:00 the K9 unit visited an abandoned house in Parow, well known for illegal drug activity.

“The property was empty at the time, but during the search, Max found something under the kitchen sink,” Solomons says.

His handler retrieved a box containing 43 rounds of ammunition for a .22 rifle.

The ammunition was recovered on Tuesday 25 August and was booked in at the Parow police station as abandoned.

Michael Khoosal will host the Gqom dance competition later this month.

Support is there for addicts THABANG KUAHO @thab_journo

Who is the best Gqom dancer?

THABANG KUAHO @thab_journo

A

competition scheduled to take place later this month will see amateur dancers battle it out on the dance floor to be crowned as the best Gqom dancer in Kraaifontein.

Gqom is a popular South African dance music genre which started gaining prominence a few years ago.

Popular Gqom artists are Babes Wodumo, Distruction Boyz and Busiswa, among others.

The competition is made possible by popular Hip Hop dancer from Scottsville Michael Khoosal and Mark Cupido to whom the idea for the competition came when they saw a group of young children dancing to Gqom beats around a circle.

“I was walking from home one day and saw a group of young children dancing to a Gqom song.

“I realised how popular the genre is among our people and thought of how nice

it would be if I could host a competition,” Khoosal says.

From the time he put up the first post on one of Kraaifontein’s community Facebook pages, inviting people to audition, Khoosal has received messages from interested people.

“The feedback has been satisfactory, people are showing interest.

“It is amazing to see how many talented people we have here in Kraaifontein”.

With the current lockdown regulations, Khoosal says a lot of brainstorming on how the final dance-off will work is necessary.

“It is easy and more convenient to ask people to send in their audition videos on WhatsApp, but how the final competition event will work still needs to be discussed.

“Right now, I am thinking of doing it the conventional way where a group of people gather together in a circle and compete. But of course this will only be with the final Top 16 and the judges”.

He says this is a good way to inspire young people.

“Crime in Kraaifontein is very rife, it is easy for young people to be involved in criminal activities because there is not much for them to do”.

The judging panel include Khoosal, Marvin-Lee Coetzee and Riché Koopman.

“These are well-known inspirational people in the community and young people love them”.

The prize for this competition remains a surprise.

“I cannot say what the prize is, but I can assure you the contestants will love it,” he says.

Audition videos can be sent via WhatsApp, but Khoosal also hosts live auditions for those that cannot send their videos.

“If people cannot send their videos, I am willing to meet with them at the FF Erasmus Hall in Scottsville to record them and show the other judges. This is only for those that cannot send their videos. We have to keep in mind the lockdown regulations.

V For more information or to submit your entry, contact Michael Khoosal on 064 669 9480.

For the duration of the lockdown period, members of the Kraaifontein support group for recovering addicts have not been able to meet at their usual meeting places in Eikendal and Peerless Park East due to government regulations and had to make use of alternative online services to continue finding the support they need.

Programme coordinator Jacques Botha says the online services are offered by various national and international hosts on the international cloudbased service Zoom, that provides online meetings and video conferencing.

“These are very different from the traditional one-on-one meetings that we are all used to, but still as effective,” Botha says. He says the meetings also take place twice a week and members can access the different meeting rooms whenever they are available.

“Our members have been very committed to these meetings, just as they have always been to the one-on-ones”.

This setup will remain in place until their usual meeting places are open.

“Because we make use of the facilities at churches, we cannot access them until these churches are open”.

As much as the online services are effective, Botha says one-on-one sessions are still necessary.

“Finding recovery is one of the toughest but necessary things and addicts have to go out of their way to get help just, as they used to go out of their way to get drugs”. Botha says continuous support within the community is still available to anyone.

Paediatric care in Covid era DESIRÉE RORKE @dezzierorke

W

ith the height of the pandemic playing out over wintertime, the trend of intake for childhood incidences was greatly influenced at Cape Gate Mediclinic, leaving paediatric wards near empty.

Whereas typically babies, toddlers and children during winter season often present with respiratory illness, common viral illnesses and airway infections were much less frequent during this past season, according to Dr Gerhard de Bruin, a paediatrician at the hospital.

Bronchiolitis in the smaller babies as well as upper and lower respiratory tract infections in older children are common in winter, he says.

“Many viral and bacterial illnesses present with fever, so this is also a common presentation encountered this time of the

year,” says De Bruin.

However, the current trend, in order to reduce risk of exposure to the Covid-19 virus at hospitals, has been to remain at home rather than going to a hospital.

Also, the common viral illnesses and airway infections were much less frequent during this past season, due to children not attending schools and day care centres.

This being said, he encourages parents to consider the important measures that have been put in place within the hospital.

“Our hospital has all the precautions in place to manage your child safely. Strict measures have been implemented to combat the pandemic. Access control and screening protocols are in place at all access points and movement through the hospital has been limited to a minimum. Only one parent is asked to bring a child for consultation where possible to minimise risk,” he says.

While the pandemic has eased up, many

people may incorrectly assume that hospitals are full and that there is a lack of capacity.

“The paediatric ward has ample capacity to deal with ill children. Although the pandemic has caused tremendous disruption in everyday life, which includes healthcare, comprehensive care is still a right of every child.

“Health care and advice should be sought if parents have any concerns. This includes routine check-ups for new-born babies”.

Simple procedures such as tonsillectomies, grommets and other traditional surgeries for paediatric patients are still taking place and will continue at the new day clinic as same day care.

KONSEPSTRATEGIE OOR KLIMAATSVERANDERING Die Stad se visie is om ’n stedelike omgewing te skep wat klimaatsveerkragtig, hulpbrondoeltreffend en koolstofneutraal is. As optrede nou geneem word, sal dit inklusiewe ekonomiese en maatskaplike ontwikkeling en omgewingsvolhoubaarheid moontlik maak.

Die hantering van klimaatsverandering verg medewerking, samewerking en vennootskappe.

Daarom nooi die Stad Kaapstad alle belanghebbende partye om kommentaar te lewer oor die konsepstrategie oor klimaatsverandering wat daarop gemik is om: •

•

• •

’n raamwerk te voorsien vir die Stad om die wyse waarop beplan en te werk gegaan word, te transformeer en om die Stad se beleide, strategieë en planne in pas te bring met klimaatsveranderingskwessies terwyl leiding aan direktorate en departemente tydens hierdie oorgang gebied word; toe te sien dat die bykomende voordele van aanpassing en versagting van klimaatsverandering – insluitende werkskepping, beter gesondheid, laer risiko, beter energie- en watersekuriteit, en vele ander voordele – maksimaal benut word in die implementering van die strategie; die geïdentifiseerde impak, in soverre dit binne die Stad se mandaat en invloedskring val, te hanteer en om te verseker dat die Stad in staat is om die uitdagings wat klimaatsverandering inhou, te hanteer; en te verseker dat die plaaslike ekonomie mededingend kan handel dryf in ’n globale omgewing wat toenemend koolstof-intensiewe goedere en dienste afkeur.

Die Stad Kaapstad nooi inwoners om kommentaar te lewer oor die strategie oor menslike nedersettings.

Die strategie poog om die tekortkominge van die huidige behuisingstelsel te hanteer en om geïntegreerde gemeenskappe moontlik te maak en volhoubare stadsontwikkeling te ondersteun. Erkenning word verleen aan die omvang van informele behuising in Kaapstad, die koste van ’n huis in die formele behuisingstelsel en die wens van alle huishoudings om hul eie huise te bou of behuisingsgeleenthede aan ander te voorsien.

Ingevolge artikel 17 van die Wet op Plaaslike Regering: Munisipale Stelsels, Wet 32 van 2000, word die publiek en belangstellende partye of groepe die geleentheid gebied om van 1 September 2020 tot 30 Oktober 2020 kommentaar, insette of aanbevelings aan die munisipaliteit te rig.

Die voorgestelde konsepstrategie oor menslike nedersettings, asook ’n beknopte opsomming daarvan, kan op die Stad Kaapstad se webtuiste besigtig word: www.capetown.gov.za/haveyoursay. Die beknopte opsomming van die strategie sal ook tydens die openbaredeelnametydperk in Engels, Xhosa en Afrikaans by subraadskantore beskikbaar wees.

Kommentaar, aanbevelings of insette kan soos volg ingedien word: • E-pos: hspolicy.research@capetown.gov.za • Skriftelike voorlegging: Dien by enige van die Stad se subraadskantore in • Webtuiste: www.capetown.gov.za/haveyoursay • WhatsApp: 063 299 9927

LEWENSKIEKIE

As the Covid-19 crisis continues and many people are struggling to make ends meet, non-profit organisations (NPOs) and non-government organisations (NGOs) are trying to provide support to those that need it most.

These organisations have lost most of their income from fundraising events and need your help to continue giving care. TygerBurger is making it easier for you to contribute responsibly by featuring accredited and/or legitimate organisations that will distribute your donation to the right people.

To be featured here registered NPOs and NGOs or those with clear proof of their donations/activities can email a description of their service, NPO number (if applicable) and contact details to nielen.deklerk@tygerburger.co.za. Please include specific needs and a drop-off point, if possible.

V FoodForward SA in Epping have distributed more than 4 000 tonnes of food to vulnerable communities since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic.

They need rice, maize meal, spaghetti, samp and beans, soup mix, lentils, pilchards, tuna, long-life milk, oats, jam, peanut butter, cooking oil, sugar and salt. Call 021 531 5610 or e-mail Fayrene Langson at info@foodforwardsa.org if you would like to hold a food drive or drop off goods.

Groen en goud: Dirkie Heydenrych van Brackenfell het onlangs hierdie lugfoto van die kanolavelde buite Durbanville met ’n hommeltuig afgeneem. Hy sê dit was met sonsondergang terwyl die lande op hul mooiste is.

Lisensies: staan moet jy staan Graag wil ek my misnoë uitspreek teenoor die plaaslike regering in Kaapstad.

Motorlisensiekantore werk met ’n minimum personeellede en elle lange rye staan buite in die wind en weer om voertuiglisensies te bekom.

Mense ouer as 60 moet maar staan. Of jy nou kan of nie, staan moet jy staan.

Waarom kan die werksure nie verleng word nie? Hope mense sit by die huis wat volle salarisse ontvang wat in elk geval deur die belastingbetalers betaal word.

Almal het nie ’n geldjie om in die middel van die maand in die ry te loop staan nie.

Ons moet maar wag vir die einde van die maand en dan is party verkeerskantore nie eens op ’n Saterdag oop nie.

Dit is werklik ’n skande.

Ek sal volgende keer twee keer dink voordat ek my kruisie trek.

Intussen moet ons bo sestigs maar in die wind en weer staan, nat reën en dan nog boonop siek raak ook.

Mensdom vernietig aarde Die brief van Erik aangaande plastiekmisbruik en die impak wat dit op die omgewing het, verwys (“Verminder jou plastiekgebruik”, 26-08).

Hy raak baie geldige punte aan, wat mense ignoreer omdat dit weens ons gemaklike, geoutomatiseerde, elektronies beheerde lewensstyl deesdae te veel moeite is om iets so eenvoudig te doen.

’n Bydraende faktor is meeste ouers het herwinning nie by hul ouerhuise ervaar nie omdat herwinning ’n “relatiewe” nuwe ding is en dus dit ook nie by die huis toegepas sodat die kinders ’n goeie voorbeeld het om te volg nie.

Dus: monkey see, monkey do.

Deur die eeue het die mens ontwikkel vanaf Homo Erectus na Homo Sapiens, ’n paar dekades gelede na Homo Horrobalis en deesdae na Homo Arseholis.

Die gevolg is die mens is besig om homself en die aarde te vernietig en dan nog die vermetelheid gaan hê om iemand anders daarvoor te gaan blameer.

Ons lewe net vir onsself en gun niemand anders ook iets nie.

DAWID Kraaifontein

Selfsugtige mense die probleem Ek het Desiree Rorke se berig “Herrie oor trolliehandvatsels” in TygerBurger (26 Augustus) vreeslik interessant gevind.

Ekself is super-pedanties oor die oppervlaktes waaraan ek raak, en ook die optrede van mense rondom my, veral wanneer ek my huis verlaat.

Tot só ’n mate dat ek al ’n winkel – toevallig ook ’n Spar, maar in Brackenfell, binnegegaan en onmiddelik binne die deur weer omgedraai het, omdat ek reeds beknop gevoel het oor daar so baie mense daarbinne was. Daar was daardie dag (gedurende week een van vlak 3) geen persoon by die deur om toegangsbeheer toe te pas nie.

Net terloops, my plaaslike Spar is natuurlik uitstekend.

Die sekerheidswag by die deur pas nie net toegangsbeheer toe en spuit jou hande met handreiniger nie, hy reinig sommer jou mandjie se

handvatsel voor hy dit vir jou aangee.

Maar die probleem is nie die winkels nie, maar die mensdom. Te veel mense het reeds van die begin af eenvoudig net ’n selfsugtige traakmy-nie-agtige houding. Ander, het soos inperkingsregulasies gelig word, net al hoe meer laks begin word.

By die plaaslike kafee skuif die tannie agter die toonbank deesdae vinnig haar masker op haar gesig as iemand die winkel instap en help jou dan sonder om haar hande te reinig. Buite die skool, wat uitstekende maatreëls in plek het, staan ouers wat mekaar maande laas gesien het reg opmekaar en gesels sonder hul maskers. Of so vertel ’n vriend hoe hy eendag by mense se huis aandoen vir werk en moes hoor “haal af jou masker, dit is nie nodig in hierdie huis nie”. En dan wonder mense hoekom dit in die eerste plek nodig was vir sulke streng inperkingsregulasies?

Miskien, as ons minder selfsugtig was en eenvoudig net kon wys ons kan ’n ding ernstig opneem en minstens die voorkomingsmaatreëls nakom, sou dit nie nodig gewees het vir sulke streng maatreëls wat mense nou hul lewensonderhoud kos nie.

En so gaan dit, tensy jy of ’n familielid onderliggende siektes het of tot jy of iemand na aan jou skielik die virus opdoen.

Wat (die lakse) mense nie besef nie, jy en jou gesin is dalk “lae risiko” want julle is oor die algemeen relatief gesond, maar jou laksheid stel die persoon in my huishouding. wat drie onderliggende siektes het. in gevaar.

Dink so ’n bietjie daaroor, en neem jou medemens in ag voor jy volgende keer sonder jou masker en handreiniger by die huis uitstap en ’n winkel besoek.

ESTHER Durbanville

Strenger wette nie die oplossing Ek kan eenvoudig net nie verstaan waarom die regering onder die wanindruk is dat sou jy ’n wet uitvaardig, almal dit sal gehoorsaam nie.

Watter beter voorbeeld is daar by hulself: die president waarsku sy eie kollegas om nie betrokke te raak by korrupsie nie, maar nogtans luister van hulle nie.

Die toelaatbare persentasie alkohol het deur die jare verlaag vir motorbestuurders, maar dit het geen indruk op oortreders gemaak nie.

As hulle die verbod plaas van geen alkoholinhoud vir motorbestuurders, gaan hulle weereens ’n harde finansiële slag vir die drankbedryf toedien.

Dis ’n eenvoudige oplossing om van die probleem van dronkbestuurders ontslae te raak.

As jy kyk na die persentasie van oortreders in verhouding met die totale getal bestuurders, is dit duidelik die wetsongehoorsames is by ver in die minderheid as dit kom by dié oortreding. Dit sal dus ’n onregverdige besluit wees om almal te straf met die wysiging van die wet.

Ons moet nie toelaat dat die minderheid van die bevolking se roekelose optrede die regering voorskryf nie.

My beskeie opinie is dat ek hierdie probleem van dronkbestuurders voor die deur van die regering plaas.

Gebruik boetes met geen opskortingsvoorwaardes en natuurlik minimum tronkstraf by tweede oortreding – sonder enige opskortingsvoorwaardes nie.

Hou asseblief op om wette al strenger te maak en dink dat dit die probleem sal oplos, want daarmee straf jy nie die skuldiges nie, maar net die onskuldiges BEKOMMERD Kuilsrivier

Sy kulkuns nou wêreldwyd aanlyn ESMÉ ERASMUS

O

ok vir die interaktiewe komediese kulkuns­tenaar Regardt Laubscher het die inperkingstyd met nuwe uitdagings gelaat.

Laubscher (36) van Sonstraalhoogte in Durbanville het voor die inperkingstyd tot 40 verhoogvertonings per maand by feeste, hotelle, oorde en private gesellighede gelewer. Hy het onder meer al in Namibië, Botswana en die Seychelles mense met sy kulkunsies vermaak en selfs in Singapoer ’n lesing aangebied.

Hy is al genooi om vir bekendes soos Mariah Carey en haar familie op te tree en was ook op die lys van vermaaklikheidsterre saam met mense soos John Legend by ’n internasionale troue. Laubscher het ook gereeld op televisiekanale soos kykNET, Via en SABC opgetree.

“Vandat die inperking aangekondig is, het my kliënte my gekontak en die een ná die ander vertoning is gekanselleer vir die res van die jaar. Dit was asof iemand my hart uitruk!” sê hy.

Hoewel hy aanvanklik in sak en as was, het dit sy loopbaan op ’n ander manier gebaat.

Mense van reg oor die wêreld kyk nou na sy aanlyn vertonings en boonop het hy ’n manier gevind om geld daaruit te maak.

Dit was egter nie ’n pad sonder struikelblokke nie, sê hy.

Nadat hy hom byna ’n maand lank met huisverbeteringstakies besig gehou het, het hy besluit om sy verjaarsdag op 16 April op ’n spesiale manier te vier met ’n reeks video’s op Facebook, YouTube en ander sosiale media.

“Ná 10 ongelooflik gewilde en suksesvolle video’s het daar ’n vlammetjie in my begin

brand – die idee om dalk een of twee aanlyn vertonings te probeer.

“Die grootste uitdaging was nie nou meer om ’n vertoning aanmekaar te sit nie, maar om die beligting te reël, kameras op te stel, die stel te bou en dan heel laaste ’n vertoning aanmekaar te sit – dít sonder die interaksie van die gehoor. Die probleem was dat ek my vertoning baseer op hoe die gehoor reageer.

“As jou vertoning geheel en al afhang van hoe jou gehoor reageer, is ’n aanlyn verto-

ning ’n ander uitdaging as om net ’n musiekvertoning aanlyn te lewer,” sê hy.

“Ek is baie dankbaar vir ’n vriend van my wat ook ’n kollega in kulkuns is en natuurlik my vrou, Mariaan, wat my hierdeur gedra het. Sonder hulle sou ek nie die eerste stap kon neem nie.”

Drie maande later het hy vertonings reg oor die wêreld gelewer.

“Ek het selfs gekuier in die Seychelles, asook ’n vinnige kuiertjie in Londen geniet,

maar dit was natuurlik alles in die virtuele wêreld,” sê hy.

“Ek het soveel sukses behaal met nie net tradisionele kulkunstenaarvertonings nie, maar ook met werksessies, opvoedkundige vertonings en selfs ’n spesiale vertoning oor Covid-19,” sê hy.

Hy het ook ’n opvoedkundige kulkunsvideo gemik op die kindermark in sy nuwe ateljee by sy huis gemaak.

“Ek het die ateljee die naam ‘The House of Magic’ gegee. Die ateljee is nie ’n Hollywood-ateljee nie, maar ek het baie vermaak verskaf en goeie sake gedoen in die selfgemaakte studio in my kantoor in my huis.

“Maar ek kon dit nie doen sonder elke liewe persoon wat ’n kaartjie gekoop het of my bespreek het vir ’n private geleentheid nie.”

Laubscher sê hy besef nou dat hy al in sy hoërskooljare begin voorberei het vir die maande van oorlewing toe hy deur ’n afrigter geboelie is.

“Ek kan eerlik sê ek kan nou op enige verhoog staan; ek is vreesloos! Die drie jaar waarin ek by die skool geboelie is, was net tydelik. Die periode waarin ons nou is, is net tydelik en jy moet dit gebruik om te groei sodat jy reg is om jouself te bewys as jy weer die kans kry,” sê hy.

Buiten nuwe opwindende toertjies is sy nuwe webtuiste ook klaar.

“My boodskap vir alle kunstenaars en entrepreneurs is dat, hoewel dinge nou regtig moeilik gaan, daar altyd hoop is. As jy nie hoop in jou hart het nie, wat het ’n mens dan?

Kom ons staan bymekaar en help mekaar.

“Onthou, jy kan net jou beste doen en dan sal die positiewe volg,” het my oupa Kosie altyd gesê.”

‘Afrikaans gaan global’ bied ’n fees ’n Regstreekse aanlyn konsert, Afrikaans gaan global, vind plaas op Saterdag 5 September vanaf 12:00.

Die vertoning bied 12 uur se ononderbroke vermaak met 25 kunstenaars, onder wie Kurt Darren, Theuns Jordaan, Juanita du Plessis, Karlien van Jaarsveld, Elandré, Jay, Refentse, Robbie Wessels, Ricus Nel, Dirk van der Westhuizen, Brendan Peyper en Christia Visser.

Volgens Albertus Potgieter, besturende direkteur van iTickets, is die #MYfonds gestig vir die sangers en musikante en baat hulle direk by die kaartjieverkope.

“Daar is soveel byeenkomste wat voor die inperking gekanselleer is en daar is min mense wat nie deur dié pandemie geraak word nie. Hierdie is ’n wonderlike inisiatief en ons as Suid-Afrikaanse kunstenaars kan nie wag om weer op die groot verhoog te klim nie; ons weet ons lojale ondersteuners is uitgehonger vir musiek, braai en samesyn,” sê Kurt Darren.

Kaartjies vir Afrikaans gaan global kos R120 en is by www.itickets.co.za beskikbaar. ’n Loting word tydens die konsert gehou

Onnie skryf digbundel oor lewe op die Kaapse Vlakte TARRYN-LEIGH SOLOMONS @tarryns07 ’n Onderwyser (29) van Elsiesrivier het so pas sy tweede digbundel klaar geskryf.

Nashville Blaauw sê sy passie vir skryf het begin toe hy op skool was. Volgens hom vertel sy nuwe boek, Ek slaan my oë op na die flatse, die storie van maatskaplike kwessies op die Kaapse Vlakte.

“Ek het op die Kaapse Vlakte in Elsiesrivier grootgeword. Ek woon in die gebied en werk ook by die Hoërskool Elsiesrivier. Ek skryf al sedert skooljare. In 2017 is my digbundel Ek was gebore daar bekend gestel.

“Met my skryfwerk is my doel om mense en veral jongmense van Elsiesrivier op te hef en aan te moedig om hul beste te doen.

“Ek is lief vir my dorp met al sy euwels.

Ek glo daar is iets goeds in Elsiesrivier.

Hierdie boek, Ek slaan my oë op na die flatse, het ek saamgestel om sekere kwessies

op die Kaapse Vlakte aan te pak.

“Ons kan verandering teweeg bring, dus het ek vyf jongmense genader om elk ’n gedig te skryf en dit in die boek ingesluit.”

Die vyf jongmense van Elsiesrivier wie se gedigte in die bundel ingesluit is, is Andor Field, Amy Jantjies, Nathan Strydom, Kyle van Wyk en Chelsey Botha.

In Februarie 2018 is sy eerste digbundel, Ek was gebore daar, in die plaaslike biblioteek bekend gestel. Daardie digbundel handel oor die herontdekking van die identiteit van bruinmense.

Blaauw sê hy skryf sedert sy graad 7-jaar

by Norwood Primêr.

“Ek het baie goed gesien as kind en jongmens in hierdie dorp (Elsiesrivier) en dit kan baie trauma in die lewe veroorsaak.

Maar ek het gekies om nie toe te laat dat my omstandighede my toekoms bepaal nie.

TYGERBURGER Kraaifontein 13

New day clinic opens at Cape Gate M

ediclinic Cape Gate officially opened the doors to its day clinic for operations yesterday (1 September).

This will be Mediclinic Southern Africa’s seventh clinic focusing exclusively on same day surgery.

Concentrating only on minor surgical procedures will enable the clinic to be particularly streamlined, efficient and cost-effective, without compromising on the high clinical standards of the main hospital.

“We are excited to open the much awaited day clinic for our community. It has been a challenging period while the country has fought Covid-19, but we recognise that our community has put off essential medical care in order to reduce the pressure on facili-

ties. Mediclinic Cape Gate Day Clinic is now ready to assist with these medical needs and has taken extensive measures to ensure the safety of our patients, staff and doctors,” explains Willie Kruger, operations executive of the Western Cape region.

According to Carol Defty, Mediclinic Cape Gate general manager, the day clinic will act as a non-Covid unit with patients being tested before coming in for their elective procedures. “In addition, there is screening on admission and our staff have all been equipped with the necessary PPE to ensure that we are able to safely care for all our patients. This day clinic will provide the community with broader access to safe, streamlined private medical care.”

Planned, non-emergency surgical procedures that are admitted and discharged on the day of surgery will be performed at the day clinic. It will offer two fully equipped theatres with specialised staff catering to non-acute procedures.

The flow of the day clinic is enhanced by the new cubicle design, which offers patients ample time to recover in privacy, before they are safely discharged. The layout of the cubicles also offers nurses a full view of patients before and after surgery.

Defty explains the services of the day clinic are based on the needs of the public. “As simple, speedy and easy access will be the order of the day, patients will have the added advantage of knowing their exact date and

time of admission, as well as expected theatre and discharge times. The client therefore experiences little or no waiting periods before and after surgery, because everything will be carefully prearranged.

Orthopaedic surgeon Dr Allie du Toit says there are multiple orthopedic procedures that can be done within a day clinic but in the near future more invasive operations like total shoulder replacements, which will also be possible within the day clinic.

Urologist Dr Joggie Stander says much has changed in the world in the past few months, but now more than ever, patients should be following up with their local general practitioners and going for their regular specialist appointments.

Children’s home needs help Durbanville Children’s Home is taking a massive financial knock due to Covid-19.

“This is mainly the result of costs incurred for additional therapeutic interventions due to the heightened trauma, fear and anxiety our children is presently experiencing and starting home schooling on site,” says Johanna Strauss, acting manager of the home. In addition, we had to buy recreational and sports equipment to keep our children busy and happy,” she says.

This has forced the Durbanville Children’s Home to relook at how it needs to adapt its childcare models, to ensure that the children stay busy and healthy. “This has put great strain on our resources and staff,” Strauss says.

The home now heavily relies on its Sponsor-a-child initiative as a way for in-

dividuals and/or corporates to support them with a sustainable monthly income.

“We appeal to you to assist us in meeting our children’s basic needs by making a financial contribution of R100 per month. Through your involvement, you will be linked to one of our children and have the opportunity to get a glimpse into their lives,” she says.

Donors will receive the age, likes, dislikes and basic information of the child they sponsor, as well as a brief progress report twice a year. You may also write to the child you are sponsoring.

V Anyone interested in becoming a partner in the Sponsor-a-child programme can send an email to Louise Coetzee at dch@durbanvillekinderhuis.org.za or visit www.sponsorachild.co.za. All donations to the Durbanville Children’s Home are tax deductible.

Kraaifontein residents making use of Metrorail services have not been able to do so during the lockdown due to government regulations to minimise the spread of the coronavirus. This will be the case for a while longer as the decision to open the line between Kraaifontein and Cape Town is on the agenda, says spokesperson Riana Scott. This comes after Metrorail opened the Cape Flats line on Monday 24 August.

Beware of tender scams on CSD NIELEN DE KLERK @nielendk

A

woman in Loevenstein is warning others of possible scams on the tender database after she almost fell prey to one.

The woman, who doesn’t want to be named for fear of retribution, works in the building industry and says she and her husband regularly apply for tenders via the Central Supplier Database (CSD).

Unlike their other attempts to supply goods, however, they were almost immediately awarded the tender.

“We were so excited,” she says. “We hadn’t been working since the start of lockdown. We were so grateful.”

The warning lights started flickering from the start, however.

It all started when she saw a “request for quote” (RFQ) asking for a specific type of reinforced jacket.

This case was different, as it had the specifics of the jacket down to a serial number.

When she researched companies offering this specific jacket, the only two available were one in Port Elizabeth and one overseas.

As she couldn’t use the one overseas as it would push up her costs, she called the local company.

They were very friendly and even offered a discount on the product.

They did, however, say they wanted to be paid a 50% deposit upfront, an unusual request when dealing with government tenders.

The woman supplied the quote to the government (along with all her details) and to her surprise she was awarded the tender, which meant she would soon be receiving much-needed income.

But first, the company in Port Elizabeth wanted her to pay around R100 000 as a deposit. She was about to make the payment, but in her excitement, she forgot her internet login details and accidentally locked herself out of her account.

She needed to go into the bank to restore her details. Her husband told her to wait. “I’ve never made money so quickly in my life before,” he told her.

They called around and were told by others that you only pay the third party supplier once you get the money from the government.

She went to look at the invoice again and something about the different fonts used put her off. She looked at the address and googled it. When she zoomed in, she saw it was for a factory housing different companies. Her supplier wasn’t mentioned when she googled and she decided to call one of the other companies housed at the address and which featured on Google. She then noticed the landline prefix differed from the one given by the third party.

When she called the other company, they said they’d never heard of her third party supplier and that they were often

called about this. As a final resort, she asked a friend to look up the company on the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission. It wasn’t listed there either and the registration number they provided listed another company with an address in the Free State. She had seen enough.

“Everything I questioned was invalid”.

She didn’t tell them anything and when the third party and “government department” called her, she made up an excuse about waiting for a loan. They never called again. The woman called the police.

She’s disappointed about not earning the possible income but very relieved about not losing money.

“The Lord was with me”.

She has since heard about other people falling for similar scams.

Protect yourself From a simple web search, it seems numerous scams targeted at companies in the tender industry are doing the rounds.

The CSD website warns against fraudsters who “send a fictitious request for quotes (RFQ) from what would seem to be a governmental email address and use a fake RFQ form with a logo and contact details of the contact person. These requests are usually ‘urgent’ and the whole process is concluded within a short period of time”.

The Government’s Tender Bulletin, published in AuHer husband gust, says the CSD has launched the Government Order told her to wait. Scam campaign “to combat RFQs. We work “I’ve never made fraudulent hard at preventing and fighfraud, but criminal actimoney so quickly ting vity is always a risk”.

They specify two of many in my life before,” types of scams, both involhe said. ving fraudsters posing as government officials on a fake RFQ form.

In the first example, the company wins the tender quite quickly. They then deliver the goods to someone who poses as an official or at a fake site. “The Department has no idea of this transaction made in its name. The company is then never paid and suffers a loss”.

The other example is similar to the one suffered by the woman in Loevenstein.

Fraudsters send a fake RFQ to “Company A to invite it to urgently supply goods. Typically, the tender specification is so unique that only Company B (a fictitious company created by the fraudster) can supply the goods in question”.

Company A submits the quote and soon wins the tender. Company A orders the goods and pays a deposit to the fictitious Company B. Once Company B receives the money, it disappears. Company A’s money is stolen in the process. The CSD, which is run by the treasury department, advises companies to verify their RFQs and orders by calling the respective departments using the departmental contact details listed on their respective websites to verify authenticity prior to responding to any RFQs or orders to avoid falling prey fraudsters. Do not use the contact details on the tender notice in question as this may be fraudulent.

GBV, mental health lockdown DESIRÉE RORKE @dezzierorke

D

omestic violence, mental health and disclosure of sexual abuse were three specific matters that came to the fore during lockdown.

As part of a Women’s Month awareness programme, Capt Erica Crous of Brackenfell police last week addressed an audience of social workers of the provincial social development department on the challenges police faced in recent months.

“Of critical importance is the cooperation between police and social services when working these cases, as the social development department are the custodians of victim empowerment programmes,” says Crous.

This message was underlined during various Women’s Month projects.

Pertaining to domestic violence, Crous said an increase was observed since the start of lockdown, when families were forced to isolate together at home.

“More women than usual turned to the police for help. They were assisted with information about various options available to them which include protection orders,” says Crous.

However, many victims of domestic abuse ultimately return to their abusers.

Battery theft at robots problematic Thieves are targeting uninterruptible power supply (UPS) batteries at signalised intersections across Cape Town.

The City of Cape Town urges the public to report any information related to these incidents. Syndicates are involved in the theft of the UPS batteries and units, which keep Cape Town’s intersections operational during load shedding.

According to a statement the City spent approximately R6 571 000 on the replacement and new installation of stolen UPS batteries and units during the last financial year, ending 30 June.

Over the past three weeks, another 87 UPS batteries to the value of R124 000 had been stolen at 15 different signalised intersections across the city. In the northern suburbs, incidents were reported in Kuils River, Eerste River, Bothasig, Stikland, Parow and Airport Industria.

Mayco member for transport, Felicity Purchase, says: ‘‘We cannot afford to keep on replacing the stolen batteries at our traffic signals. Vandalism and theft are unacceptable. The UPS batteries must keep the traffic lights working in times of load shedding. Motorists will be severely affected and must expect longer travelling times, especially now that the traffic on the roads is picking up.”

The public is asked to be vigilant at traffic signals and to report these events or any related information that could assist in preventing the theft.

37 000 searches done on city railways In the past financial year, the Rail Enforcement Unit (REU) achieved great successes resulting in 37 000 individuals who were stopped and searched; more than 4 000 patrols conducted in hot spot areas and 424 suspects arrested.

The unit also recovered over 2 000 meters of stolen copper and aluminium cables.

The REU is a pilot rail safety project funded by the provincial department of transport and public works, the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (Prasa) and the City of Cape Town. The Memorandum of Agreement between the City, Prasa, and the pro-

vincial government however came to an end on 30 June.

“We would like to recognise and thank the REU law enforcement officers for their service and contribution since the REU’s inception. I believe the REU has made an impact and we will continue liaising with Prasa and the other stakeholders regarding the possibility of reviving the unit or alternative solutions in future,” said the City’s Mayco member for transport, Felicity Purchase.

The REU worked alongside Prasa’s regional metro protection services unit ensuring greater operational visibility on trains

“Although it is mostly women that fall victim to domestic abuse or gender-based violence, it is important to note that men too can be victims of this crime,” says Crous.

This period also saw several reports of sexual abuse disclosures.

In these cases, victims of sexual abuse, many of them being minors at the time, came forward to report the crime years after it happened, says Crous, the perpetrators being close family members.

“In such cases victims mostly ask for help to deal with the trauma, but not necessarily open a case, which is an option.

In addition, the stresses of isolation resulted in cases where persons started showing signs of mental health issues where intervention was needed due to the individual either becoming violent or showing signs of self harm.

“Police had to assist these families with the legal intervention procedures to ensure their safety and that of the patient.”

Often, the legal intricacies around getting the help needed for loved ones are very challenging, and police need to work with social services to navigate legislation.

“The Mental Health Act provides for state hospitalisation and psychiatric evaluation and observation where needed. There is help available and family members should seek it, sooner than later.”

TYGERBURGER 19

200 jaar van Bybels gevier D

ie Bybelgenootskap van Suid-Afrika (BSA) het op 23 Augustus sy 200ste bestaansjaar gevier.

Die BSA is op 23 Augustus 1820 in die destydse Government House, vandag Tuynhuys, as die South African Bible Society gestig. Die genootskap is as ’n hulpvereniging van die Britse en Buitelandse Bybelgenootskap begin om te verseker dat die Bybel vir die inwoners van die Kaap in hul eie tale, hoofsaaklik Engels en Nederlands, teen bekostigbare pryse beskikbaar was.

Reeds van die vroegste tye het die genootskap ook Bybels in ander tale ingevoer, onder meer Nuwe Testamente in Maleis vir van die slawe en Franse en Duitse Bybels vir soldate. Die eerste Skrifgedeelte in ’n plaaslike taal wat te koop aangebied is, was die Nu-

we Testament in Xhosa in 1858.

Ongeveer 45 miljoen Bybels is die afgelope 200 jaar versprei – nie net in die Kaap nie, maar reg oor Suid-Afrika. Bybels word nie net in gedrukte formaat versprei nie, maar ook in byvoorbeeld braille, oudioformaat, asook verskeie digitale formate geskik vir die selfoon, rekenaar en e-leser.

Die hart van Bybelgenootskapwerk is die vertaling van die Bybel uit die brontekste (Hebreeus, Aramees en Grieks) in die verskillende tale. In Suid-Afrika is die Bybel in al 11 die amptelike tale beskikbaar. Sedert die verskyning van die heel eerste Bybel in ’n plaaslike taal, Setswana in 1857, was die Bybelgenootskap op een of ander manier betrokke.

Die laaste van die amptelike tale om ’n By-

Angelique Smart van Eersterivier het gehelp om motoriste bewus te maak van die Bybelgenootskap se verjaarsdag-verbyrypartytjie.

Daar word tans gewerk aan die vertaling van die volledige Bybel in !Xun en Khwedam, asook aan verskeie hersienings. As deel van die feesjaar word twee nuwe vertalings ook vanjaar bekend gestel – in Zulu en Afrikaans.

Die BSA het die afgelope twee jaar aan die herdenking van hierdie feesjaar beplan. Covid-19 het ongelukkig baie van die geleenthede in die wiele gery.

“Danksy moderne tegnologie kon ons vinnig planne maak om veral die feesnaweek van 22 tot 23 Augustus steeds saam met Christene reg oor ons land te vier en die Here te dank vir sy leiding die afgelope 200 jaar,” sê ds. Dirk Gevers, uitvoerende hoof van die BSA.

KILLARNEY: QUALIFYING ROUND IN HEAVY RAIN

Wet restart to racing S

pring may have been only a day or two away, but the first Power Series event presented

by Wingfield Motors to be run at Killarney International Raceway since lockdown was held in distinctly wintry weather on Saturday 29 August. Qualifying was run in heavy rain, putting the more powerful cars and motorcycles at a disadvantage and producing some unexpected grid positions.

Brennon Green put the Weskaap

Bakwerke Golf 5 on pole for the first Mikes Place Clubmans Saloons race, ahead of Danie van Niekerk, Bruce Meyer and Rafiek Pather.

Van Niekerk, however, missed Race 1 due to a mechanical problem, leaving Green and Pather to fight it out for line honours.

Brennon came home just 2.436 seconds ahead of Pather’s big BMW, with Class B contender Abduraouf Jacobs, better known at

Killarney as Baby Jakes, third overall and first in class.

It was a measure of how wet the circuit was that the top three Powersport 300 riders qualified ahead of the quickest of the Powersport 650s, as Slade van Niekerk, Jason Linaker and David Lindemann annexed the front row of the grid. In the end, however, Van Niekerk was able to hold the Fueled Racing rider off, with Linaker third.

Sewes-toernooi eers volgende jaar voltooi Die gewilde TygerBurger/King Cars-sewesrugbytoernooi vir o.19-skolespanne in die Tygerbergstreek – die naasoudste sewes-saamtrek in die wêreld – sal saam met verskeie soortgelyke toernooie in die Wes-Kaap nie vanjaar plaasvind nie weens die huidige viruspandemie.

Verskeie sewesrugbytoernooie vind gewoonlik in September plaas – nadat die wedstrydbepalings van die klub- en skole-ligakompetisies afgehandel is.

Dit is slegs die tweede keer in 52 jaar dat die TygerBurger/ King Cars-toernooi nie aangebied sal kan word nie.

Die vorige keer dat dit nie kon plaasvind nie, was sowat 12 jaar gelede toe die Wes-Kaap ’n buitengewoon nat winter beleef het.

Die rugbyvelde wat in modderbaddens omskep was, het destyds die speeltoestande onmoontlik gemaak vir sewestoernooie.

BACK BACON

In teenstelling met die voorgenoemde is dit ironies dat die rugbyvelde juis vanjaar in ’n uitstekende toestand is nadat geen ligawedstryde gedurende die huidige winterseisoen kon plaasvind nie.

Afgesien van die o.19-toernooi – wat jaarliks vir die einde van Augustus-maand geskeduleer word – kon die Tygerbergstreek se saamtrekke vir o.16-, o.15- en o.14-spanne ook nie die groen lig kry nie.

Só ook soortgelyke skoletoernooie in die WP se suidelike woongebiede en plattelandse skolesaamtrekke in die Paarl en Bredasdorp.

Heelparty spanne van die Tygerbergstreek neem ook jaarliks daaraan deel.

Die toernooi vir klubspanne in die WP, wat jaarliks in September en Oktober in Goodwood aangebied word, sal na verneem word nou ook eers in 2021 afgehandel kan word.
