NEW INNOVATION: SERVICES TO SMALL BUSINESSES

Hub to benefit locals

Ons Winkel vier 1ste jaar

THABANG KUAHO @thab_journo

U

Ons Winkel in Kraaifontein het op Vrydag 25 September sy eerste verjaarsdag gevier. Ons Winkel is ’n inisiatief van Solidariteit Helpende Hand. Die publiek kan daar tweedehandse goedere, wat hulle nie gebruik nie, vir liefdadigheid skenk. Enigiets bruikbaar kan by Ons Winkel afgegee word en met dié ongewenste artikels kan die winkel wondere verrig. Uit die verkope stel Ons Winkel saam met Solidariteit Helpende Hand studiegeld beskikbaar vir kinders in die gemeenskap wat nie andersins ’n geleentheid sou gehad het om verder te gaan studeer nie.

nemployed people in Kraaifontein looking for support in employment or to start their own small businesses stand to benefit from a new innovation hub that will soon open in the community.

The Daily Grind Innovation Hub is Kraaifontein’s newest feature that will run various programmes that will empower the youth and offer support where needed.

“The objective of this is to promote economic development in underserved communities by providing services to small businesses and young people to become roleplayers in the economy,” Dominique Adonis of the hub says.

She says young people are moving away from being employees to creaters of employment.

She further says people who require services often have to travel long distances to access them. The hub will have incubation programmes that will empower the youth in their quests for success.

“There will be a pre-incubation programme which runs for about eight to ten sessions and a full free incubation programme which will see successful applicants getting support in sustaining their businesses as well as a free coding programme also to successful applicants.”

Adonis says most of these programmes are for successful applicants and a minimal fee will be charged to other patrons.

The Daily Grind Innovation Hub will have

support features such as free Wi-Fi, desktop access as well as a section where patrons can plug in their laptops.

The idea for this came during Adonis’s work with high school learners on the Teach One to Lead One programme which upskilled them in values they could apply in their lives.

“I noticed a real disconnection between building their character and their capacity.

With some of them coming from poor backgrounds, they showed a sense of justice and doing right.

“I came together with a few friends to come up with ideas on how we can prevent these young ones from turning to a life of crime or teenage pregnancy,” she explains.

After some research, the lot discovered that small businesses in South Africa often are not around for long and they thought of doing something about it.

“The idea came about of establishing a place where these young people can go to and find ways to apply the values they have learnt to have successful businesses and careers.”

The establishment of the innovation hub is currently nearing its final stages and Adonis says they plan to launch sometime in November.

She urged everyone in Kraaifontein to attend the launch and find out how they can be involved in the innovation hub.

R27 million relief fund for businesses Provincial minister of finance David Maynier last week launced the Western Cape Covid-19 Business Relief Fund, which commits R27 million to supporting small businesses in both the formal and informal sectors who have been hard-hit by Covid-19 restrictions.

“We know that times have been tough for businesses during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The fund will provide financial assistance in the form of a financial grant to businesses who can apply to either the formal or informal business category. The grant will be used exclusively to subsidise business expenses such as fixed costs, operational costs, supplier debt and other pressure cost items,” he said in a statement to the media.

“With the move to alert level 1 which allows more businesses to safely open, this fund is an important step in our economic recovery plan to help businesses to rebuild and save jobs in the Western Cape. And so, I would like to encourage all interested small businesses to apply. We look forward to receiving your submissions.”

The closing date for submissions is Monday, 12 October 2020 at 10:00.

Drie geskiet in rooftog op kleinhoewe in Mikpunt ESMÉ ERASMUS

’n

Egpaar en nog ’n man is verlede Saterdag (26 September) vroegoggend ernstig gewond in ’n rooftog by hul huis in Mikpunt naby Klipheuwel. ’n Tienerseun, wat ook in die huis was, het deur ’n venster ontsnap en na die bure gehardloop.

Die egpaar het geslaap toe vier mans hulle net ná 01:00 by hul huis op ’n kleinhoewe in Olive-weg in Mikpunt wakker gemaak en waardevolle goed, asook kluissleutels, geëis het. ’n Stoeiery het ontstaan en die rowers het wild op die egpaar begin skiet. Die man is twee keer in die voorarm en in die maag

gewond. Sy vrou is ook in die maag gewond.

Hul vriend, wat elders in die huis geslaap het, wou hulle te hulp snel, maar is in die bors geskiet. Sy vuurwapen is geroof.

Volgens ’n mediaverklaring deur kapt. FC van Wyk, provinsiale polisiewoordvoerder, was die rowers gewapen met ’n rewolwer, pangas en messe.

Hy het gesê die rowers het toegang tot die huis verkry deur ’n skuifdeur aan die voorkant oop te breek. Volgens hom het die rowers te voet gevlug en selfone en skootrekenaars buitgemaak.

Titanium Securitas het op die noodoproep gereageer en kort na die voorval met ’n noodreaksievoertuig, asook ’n ambulans, by die kleinhoewe opgedaag.

Volgens Kobus Kotze, hoof van Titanium Securitas se mediese nooddiens, was lede van die polisie en wetstoepassing reeds besig om die gewondes by te staan.

Kotze het gesê hul ambulanspersoneel het die gewondes se bloeding probeer stop en hulle gestabiliseer voor hulle na verskeie hospitale geneem is.

Die egpaar se dogter het op Titanium Securitas se Facebook-blad gesê haar ouers en vriend is stabiel, maar “het nog ’n lang pad (van herstel) voor hulle”. Sy het die polisie en paramediese personeel vir hul effektiewe en professionele diens bedank.

Cemetery a grave concern ESMÉ ERASMUS Open coves, broken memorial name plates, ashes of loved ones thrown out of the urns – laying among human faeces and litter . . .

This was the picture of the latest desecra­tion of the memorial wall at Durbanville Cemetery that was shared widely on social media last week.

The connections to two newly installed CCTV cameras were also vandalised.

The shocking discovery was made by Trevor Steyl from Bothasig on Sunday 20 September when he went to visit the ash grave of his father, who passed away on 10 September two years ago. The photographs his brother took were shared widely on Facebook and Whats­App groups and caused quite a stir.

Some of the boxes with ashes were set on fire and burnt. People speculated that vagrants mix the ashes with other substances to smoke.

This came a mere three months after the previous incident in which graves in the cemetery were severely vandalised by vagrants who have occupied the cemetry over the past years.

Another resident, Tina Schilling, who read about the latest vandalism on Facebook, went to the cemetery to check on the interred ashes of her parents-in-law.

“I was devastated and shocked at the unbelievably filthy, derelict state and complete vandalism of a sacred area, where security cameras were ripped off and fencing gone,’’ she said.

“I could not find their niche due to the absence of most plaques. Only a handful of plaques and closed niches at the back of the wall remained. I am very disturbed and angry. My parents-in-law paid the City for a niche – what for?” she said.

Before the City could even execute its R1.4m security plan for CCTV cameras and a fence at the cemetery, the cameras were already vandalised.

Residents were shocked when they discovered that the memorial wall at the Durbanville cemetery was vandalised. Ash boxes were burnt, memorial plates broken and ashes were found thrown out.

This was promised earlier this year when TygerBurger reported on the poor state and vandalism at the cemetery (“Vagrants take over in cemetery during lockdown”, 17 June).

Several graves were then plundered, gravestones pushed over and showpieces of graves were laying around. Litter was laying all over and it was clear that vagrants were making fires in the cemetery.

Many of the graves have been vandalised and gravestones are even being used as chairs by the vagrants.

Zahid Badroodien, Mayco member for community service and health, then said proposals have been put forward in September 2019 already in a security plan to fence the perimeter of the cemetery.

“This will require R1.4m in budget. As

a first phase, CCTV cameras were installed on 5 June this year along the pedestrian route adjacent to the cemetery to monitor movement,” he then said.

“Linking the cameras to the City servers is currently being completed and will be monitored from the recreation and parks depot in Durbanville,” he said.

The largest portion of the funds required – about R1.2m – is to properly fence off and install a gate at the cemetery.

“Once this is complete, the cemetery can be locked up after hours and should result in a decrease in illegal access and vandalism.

“To appoint security guards to patrol a site with multiple entry points, low walls and hiding spaces would be costly and ineffective. Once securely fenced, a security guard to patrol the gate at a locked up site would be taken into consideration,” he said.

“The balance of the budget required to complete the security plan will be put forward for consideration in the 2020/’21 financial year,” he said in June.

Theresa Uys, councillor for ward 112, said to TygerBurger “the crimincal act was reported to the police and case numbers have been provided”.

According to her the area supervisor did an inspection of the site and photographs of all the coves were taken in order to assess the damage.

Uys said the two CCTV cameras were installed after the vandalism in June, but connections to these two cameras were also vandalised in this latest incident.

“The directorate has informed me that they will make emergency funding available for a security guard at night until December this year.

“The fencing cannot be funded from this year’s budget and has been submitted for the 2020/2021 budget,” she said.

She urged residents with more information to contact her at Theresa.Uys@capetown.gov.za.

Two pedestrians knocked down DESIRÉE RORKE @dezzierorkeon Two pedestrians lost their lives when they were knocked down on busy roads this past weekend.

On Saturday afternoon at about 16:15 an unknown man was killed when he ran onto the N1 near Joostenbergvlakte.

According to eyewitness accounts the man was playing soccer with a group of friends on an open field next to the high­way. He died on impact.

In a second incident a woman died after a car hit her at the corner of Brackenfell Boulevard and Old Paarl Road.

The 23-year-old woman was an employee at a fast-food shop across the street,

and was making her way home to Bloekombos when the incident occurred.

The vehicle was traveling in the direction of Protea Heights. According to information two women were crossing the intersection. The deceased stopped in the middle of the road to let the vehicle pass.

Allegedly, she then suddenly stepped in front of the vehicle. Paramedics were on the scene within minutes.

“We found her laying helplessly in the road. Unfortunately due to the extensive injuries she sustained she was declared dead on the scene,” says a spokesperson from Titanium ambulance service, Kobus Kotze. Brackenfell police was on the scene to investigate. Cases of culpable homicide were openened.

Kraaifontein youth celebrate Braai Day THABANG KUAHO @thab_journo

W

hile many young people were looking forward to spending time with their loved ones on Heritage Day Thursday 24 September, a day known to many Capetonians as Braai Day, others sadly

did not have anything to look forward to as circumstances at their homes did not allow them to take part in the festivities of the day.

Local non-profit organisation Be the Difference Foundation hosted 224 Grade 6 and 7s from Petunia Primary School in Scottsville to take part in Braai Day celebrations on Thursday 24 September.

Braai Day is popular among many Capetonians and coincides with the equally-popular Heritage Day. This formed part of the foundation’s nutritional development programme.

The foundation’s Granthem Abrahams says this was done because many young people in Kraaifontein are not fortunate to join in on the festivities due to circumstances at their homes.

“Most of the children in the programme unfortunately cannot enjoy Braai Day because of personal or financial strains in their households.

“With the day being a public holiday, many learners cannot benefit from the meals served at schools,” Abrahams says.

He says the expression on their faces were proof of the learners’ appreciation of the ge-

Apart from enjoying braai delicacies, the kids spent the rest of their day playing fun-filled games with their friends.

Cape Stamp Fair held in Bellville soon The Cape Stamp Fair by Philatelic Friends will resume on Saturday 3 October in the hall of Bellville Valley Dutch Reformed Church on the corner of Postma and St Andrews streets in Bellville.

The stamp fair will be held from 09:00 to 12:30. All are welcome. Entrance and parking in St Andrews Street is free. All Covid-19 regulations will be followed.

A strong contingent of dealers will be in attendance to sell, buy, evaluate and advise on all aspects of philately, including stamps, envelopes, covers, post cards, correspondences, postal history, revenues, documents and non-fiction books of a historical nature, as well as coins, banknotes and medals.

The kitchen, run by Victoria, will provide limited food and snacks, including plain or toasted sandwiches, filter coffee, tea and cupcakes. A live auction will be held on Saturday 17 October in the hall of Bergsig Dutch Reformed Church on the corner of Boland and Protea Way in Durbanville.

He further says this was the perfect opportunity to educate the children about the importance of the day, their history and values.

“The event also aimed at letting them know that their dreams are valid and to believe in themselves.”

Apart from enjoying many braai favouri-

tes and sweet treats, the day was also filled with fun-filled games as well as a dance-off between some of the learners.

Heeding president Cyril Ramaphosa’s call, the learners also took part in the #JerusalemaDanceChallenge, a social media dance challenge that aims to unite South Africans during the current Covid-19 pandemic.

Dief in agterplaas aangekeer ’n Dief is Saterdagaand, minute nadat hy ’n boks pille en ’n knipmes uit ’n motor gesteel het, deur plaaslike sekerheidsbeamptes vasgetrek.

Die 36-jarige man van Scottsdene het sy kans gewaag toe die eienaar van die voertuig goedere uit die motor die huis in gedra het. Die voorval het op Vrydag 25 September

omstreeks 22:40 gebeur.

Toe hy weer uitkom, het hy gesien die passasiersdeur staan oop en het dadelik ingehardloop om sy paniekknoppie te druk. Titanium Securitas het die verdagte minute later in die buurman se agterplaas aangekeer.

Hy het Maandag in Kuilsrivier-landdroshof verskyn op aanklag van diefstal.

Haarverlies kry lyers nie onder RICHARD ROBERTS @richardjohn_rj

A

lopesie, ’n mediese toestand wat tot haarverlies lei, is waarskynlik iets waarvan min mense kennis dra.

Tog is Septembermaand die maand waarin hierdie siekte erken word.

Alopesie is ’n outo-immuunsiekte wat die persoon se immuunstelsel verkeerdelik aanval en die haarfollikels dan laat uitval. ’n Groep lyers het onlangs by die Tyger Falls-waterfront byeengekom om die maand te vier, sowel as om stories te deel, en ’n ondersteuningsgroep te begin.

“Min mense is bewus daarvan en min mense weet eintlik wat die toestand behels,” meen Inge Palvie, ’n lyer. Inge is een van die mense by wie op ’n jong ouderdom alopesie gediagnoseer is.

“Ek is op 26-jarige ouderdom gediagnoseer,” sê Inge.

Die toestand het gevorder tot ’n stadium waar sy alle hare op haar kop, arms, bene en wenkbroue verloor het.

“Dit was ’n baie emosionele tyd toe my hare begin uitval en toe ek gediagnoseer is, veral omdat daar geen definitiewe antwoorde is nie, en daar geen kuur vir die toestand bestaan nie.”

Smile 90.4FM launches news platform

As the dynamic news environment is constantly evolving, Smile 90.4FM has recently launched its brand new news positioning called “News that Cape Town Needs to Know Now”.

With the variety of news platforms available, it has become difficult to distinguish real from fake, relevant from irrelevant and sensational from factual.

Available across all Smile 90.4FM platforms such as the Smile website, App and social media platforms – news that Cape Town needs to know, will give Capetonians greater insight into what is happening in their city and the impact it has on them.

TygerBurger wou vasstel watter ondersteuning beskikbaar is vir mense met dié toestand.

“Ek het maar self ondersteuning gaan soek op sosiale media deur ‘alopecia areata’ in te tik by ondersteuningsgroepe. Ek en Kelly Pearce het ook ons eie een begin op Facebook, genaamd ‘Faces for Alopecia’.

“Ons groepe het mekaar op Facebook gevind en ek het dit goedgedink om ’n byeenkoms te reël sodat ons ons stories kon deel, en meer gereeld só bymekaar kom om mekaar te ondersteun aangesien ons presies weet waardeur almal gaan. Ons het ook mekaar raad gegee en kennis van pruike en pruikprodukte met mekaar gedeel,” sê Inge.

Die geleentheid verlede Saterdag 19 September was die eerste byeenkoms. “Maar ons beplan nog vele meer.”

Inge moedig ander aan wat ook aan die mediese toestand ly om moed te skep.

“My boodskap aan ander alopecia warriors is: Jou hare of gebrek aan hare definieer nie wie jy is nie. Jy is nie alleen nie. Wees sterk en wees net jouself.

“Moenie voel dat dit jou skuld is nie; reik uit na ander lyers vir ondersteuning, want dit is maar moeilik om te aanvaar, en onthou dat jy nie onthou sal word vir die hare op jou kop nie,” sê sy.

Smile 90.4FM news manager, Liesl Smit, said the news landscape can be overwhelming and difficult to navigate which is why the Smile 90.4FM team wants to the provide listeners with news that matters as it happens.

“From breaking and developing stories in the Mother City, to provincial, national and global events that impact Capetonians. Listeners are presented with a plethora of information which can be overwhelming. This is why we have repositioned our news offering to ensure that the information they receive is relevant. Our aim is to provide factual and relevant information,” Smit said.

Public to apply for firework displays I

f you love firework displays, you will now need to apply for a permit.

This is according to the City of Cape Town saying that in terms of the National Explosives Act and the community fire safety by-law, people wishing to host fireworks displays will be able to apply for a permit to do so.

As was the case in 2019, fireworks displays will only be allowed where a permit has been applied for in terms of the relevant legislation.

The City’s Mayco member for safety and security, JP Smith, said any event where 200-plus attendees are expected, or that requires any infrastructure build, will also require an events permit from the City.

“The City wishes to reiterate that, while

it has, in years gone by, provided designated fireworks sites, there is no obligation to do so and since 2019 has no longer provided designated fireworks sites for Guy Fawkes, Diwali and New Year’s Eve. As we indicated last year, the public will need to apply for a permit for a fireworks display as we no longer provide designated sites. There is growing public sentiment opposing the use of fireworks, and we have also seen a decreased appetite from subcouncils to approve designated sites, Smith said.

He added that with the cost of running the sites and making resources available to monitor activities and clean up the aftermath, a picture emerges of why the designated site allocation is not feasible.

“Furthermore, the designated sites have

done little to deter the illegal discharge of fireworks in residential areas, which is an ongoing problem.Unfortunately this was misinterpreted as a ban on fireworks, when it was first implemented, but I would like to remind the public that only national government has the authority to ban fireworks.

Firework displays can still be applied for, in terms of the relevant legislation.”

People who would like to apply for a permit to host a firework display need to apply to the police via email at capetown.explosives.cmrd@saps.gov.za.

Smith said the community should contact the head of the City’s fire and life safety section in their application via email at Ignatius.smart@capetown.gov.za.

“If the application is given the go ahead

by the police, they then have to make contact with the fire and rescue services, the fire life safety section, in the area where they plan to hold the display so that a site inspection can be carried out to determine whether the site is safe for a fireworks display.

Apart from ensuring that there are no fire hazards in the immediate surroundings, permission also needs to be sought from residents and businesses in the area, and strict conditions have to be adhered to before and during the fireworks display to mitigate any potential risk to safety,” Smith said.

Furthermore, the import and sale of fireworks without the necessary permission outlined in the Explosives Act is illegal, as is the discharge of fireworks in an area not specifically designated for it.

Home needs help to upgrade houses D

urbanville Children’s Home is presenting its adopt-a-home project to upgrade the various houses in which its children are homed.

The home has 12 house units – each a duplex with the bottom area consisting of a kitchen, living area and store room. The top area consists of four bedrooms and a bathroom.

“Our aim is to create an enriching and stimulating home environment for the children in our care by offering love, emotional support, opportunities and a child friendly environment,” says Melanie Stipp, marketing and campaigns coordinator of Durbanville Children’s Home.

“Our main challenge presently is that we need to upgrade our house units,” she says.

According to Stipp research has shown that a child’s early home environment has a long-term effect on development.

“The home environment can even affect a child’s brain development. Colour psychology and its impact on a child’s learning abilities and behaviour is a much-researched subject. Colour psychologists have linked

colour with brain development, enhanced productivity and even transition from childhood to adulthood,” she says.

The estimated cost of the upgrading per house unit of R85 640 includes painting, curtains, bedding, décor, the upgrade of kitchen cupboards, new flooring, cutlery and crockery. Donors can also make a monetary commitment by using their own contractors. “This can be arranged should you have your own suppliers, subject to specific requirements,” Stipp says.

In return for their investment, the donors will have naming rights and prominent advertising on site for a period of 12 months.

Donors will also receive publicity on the home’s website, on Facebook and in its annual report.

“As Durbanville Children’s Home is registered as a public benefit organisation, a certificate can be issued in terms of section 18A of the Tax Income Act, which can be used for tax deductions,” Stipp says.

V Contact Melanie Stipp on 021 975 6822 or marketing@durbanvillekinderhuis.org.za for more information.

Market picks up business with auction After almost six months of no income, the crafters of Durbanville Craft Market is back on track and planning an auction at its first pet and craft market since lockdown on Saturday 3 October.

“We are planning a white elephant table where items will be auctioned for as little as R10. We also plan a bric-a-brac table to auction children’s toys.

“Each charity organisation will have a turn to take part and raise some much-needed funds for their organisation,” says Anni Theron, organiser.

The craft market will be held from 09:00 to 14:00 on the grounds of Durbanville Pres-

byterian Church at 5 Louw Street (behind the police station, next to the fire brigade) in Durbanville. The fun auction will start at 11:00. Lucky Lucy Foundation will do micro-chipping at only R100 per pet.

Other charity organisations with stalls are Hope Foundation for Cats, Capetonians against Animal Abuse and Imagine Animal Dreams. Registered charity organisations can join the fundraising at no charge.

As an opening offer, all stalls can be rented at half price.

Great trek for cancer continues THABANG KUAHO @thab_journo

A

prostate cancer survivor from Kraaifontein has yet again embarked on a walk-a-ride journey to the Northern Cape to raise awareness about cancer and raise funds for three patients to help them with their medical bills.

Michael Wynne (58) who was living with the disease for the past seven years recently finished cancer treatment and is now in remission.

The journey to Koingnaas in the Northern Cape is his fourth attempt at trying to raise enough funds for the patients after the first three times did not yield the desired results.

He began his trek early on Monday 28 September with the hope of spreading the message and, hopefully, saving someone’s life.

“I decided to take on this journey again because the first three times were a bit disappointing,” Wynne says.

“Although I was successful in educating many people about the disease, raising money on the other hand was not as successful,” he explains.

His Back-a-Buddy campaign to raise R100 000 has been running since November and only R1 500 has been donated so far.

“I am disappointed that this has not produced the desired results, but that will not discourage me from my goal.”

The trek is important to Wynne because battling cancer while also worrying about medical costs can have a traumatic effect on a person, he says.

One of the patients he is trying to raise funds for is a 31-year-old unemployed mother who survives on her husband’s salary.

“She is a lung and breast cancer patient who is being looked after by a helper. Her story touched me very much and I just had to do something to help her.”

While educating people about cancer, the trek also aims to get people to show compassion to those suffering from the illness.

The journey to Koingnaas is not only on foot, but at different intervals he tries to hitchhike and possibly educate motorists as well.

He says many people appreciated the information he provided.

“It is unbelievable how many people are not well-informed about cancer. I am glad that I am taking these trips and helping others along the way.”

Miss SA finale held in Cape Town For the first time in its 62-year history, the finale of the Miss South Africa pageant will be held in Cape Town.

Miss South Africa 2020 will be crowned at The Table Bay Hotel in the V&A Waterfront in an entertainment-packed event on Saturday, October 24, from 17:00. The event will be screened live on M-Net and Mzansi Magic, and will be streamed live for an international audience.

“Throughout Sun International’s long history with the pageant, it was never an option to host it at The Table Bay as we have always had guests staying with us,” says Table Bay’s general manager, Joanne Selby.

SLICE OF LIFE

Sibling rivalry a recipe for disaster Sibling rivalry has been around since the second generation of mankind. At least that is what those like myself, who take what is written in the Holy Book as the gospel truth, believe.

The plus side of this kind of feud between families is that those involved strive to become the best version of themselves and make a success of their lives.

Although they would never admit it, mothers secretly encourage the competitive relationships because it builds character.

The problem, however, comes when this rivalry carries on well into the siblings’ adulthood and is no longer cute for the mother to witness.

These are the nightmares that mothers dread wholeheartedly. They dread it because it gets really ugly.

Growing up, I was the youngest of three children. My brother, the middle child was the favourite and my uncle, well his troublesome behaviour always rubbed everyone off the wrong way.

Although he was our uncle, we considered him our brother because there was no huge age gap between him and my brother.

Looking back at those days, I now realise that my once obedient uncle got tired of always having to prove his capabilities.

As for me, I could not care less what the others thought of me. I was too young to compete with teenagers anyway.

While my mother and grandmother tried to call a truce between the two, clearly favouring the middle child, the young me was busy engaging in his daily tolletjie brei activity.

This war between my two older siblings lasted until July last year when my dearest uncle, well in his forties, succumbed to a long illness.

What the rest of my family does not realise though, is that the troublesome oldest sibling never got over the so-called rivalry. To him it was betrayal more than anything, the favour his younger counterpart always had over him.

It killed his confidence, the way he shrunk in the presence of my brother was too obvious to ignore. It was too sad to witness, if you ask me.

One would ask themself who is to blame for this. Did my uncle bring it upon himself or could this have been avoidable from the beginning?

I think the elders are to blame.

Yes their motive for allowing this competitive behaviour was to help the young men build character, but to let it carry on beyond their young adulthood is enough to send the other to an early grave.

To avoid resentment between siblings, parents need to teach their children from an early age to support each other in whatever they do.

Encouraging competition between siblings can only have damaging repercussions that could divide families for many generations.

As the saying goes: “Together we stand, divided we fall.”

Sibling rivalry will make it easier for the enemy to enter into the household and destroy it forever. Once destroyed, picking up the piece will be almost impossible when feelings of resentment, bitterness and anger towards each other are felt.

No matter how cute it might seem, parents need to stop encouraging competitive behaviour between siblings and teach them to always support one another. - Thabang Kuaho

“ ... parents need to teach their children from an early age to support each other in whatever they do.”

South Africans to celebrate Garden Day: On Sunday 11 October, people across the country will celebrate their unique green spaces and gardens in every shape and size. Created by gardening app Candide, Garden Day is a growing movement uniting people in their love for plants and flowers since 2016. Over the past few months, South Africans have turned to their green spaces to find solace and balance. With spring in the air, it offers a chance to pause, reflect, and celebrate a season of new beginnings. Pictured is Garden Day grass roots champion, Kaylyn van As, in her veggie garden at her home in Table View.

Wie is vriend, wie is vyand?

Elke dag word statistieke gegee van sterfgevalle van Covid-19 en miljarde rande word bestee om dit hok te slaan.

Maar ek maak die afleiding dat die daaglikse moordsyfer soms meer, soms minder, is as die Covid-19-gevalle en dit wil voorkom of dit eenvoudig aanvaar word.

Gewelddadige misdaad is besig om hand uit te ruk.

Elke dag word babas vermoor en verkrag; vroue word doodgeslaan. Daar is plaasaanvalle, gewelddadige bendegeweld, kinderontvoering en gewapende huisrooftogte. Gewelddadige oproer waarin infrastruktuur beskadig en vernietig word, vind plaas en so gaan die misdaadlys aan.

Jy kan nie eie reg gebruik om jouself te beskerm nie, want die polisie, aldus die Grondwet, is vir ons veiligheid verantwoordelik.

Die polisie is magteloos aangesien die meerderheid van die gemeenskap nie bereid is om betrokke te raak by misdaadbekamping nie, want hulle vertrou nie die polisie nie.

Ek kan dit verstaan, want elke dag lees jy in die media van polisielede wat aangekeer word vir ernstige misdade – hetsy aan diens of van diens, asook lede wat steeds in diens is met opgeskorte vonnisse vir ernstige misdade. Die ergste van alles is dat hierdie misdadigers tot op senior vlak voorkom.

Die minister van polisie, Bheki Cele, was destyds die polisiekommissaris en is onder ’n donker wolk uit die polisie geskors en later weer aangestel as die minister van polisie.

My beskeie mening is dat hy geensins ’n idee het wat van hom verwag word nie behalwe om arrogant te wees en die volk te dreig dat hy hulle sal toesluit vir geringe oortredings soos die oortreding van Covid-19-regulasies.

Wanneer gaan die regering wakker skrik en besef dat die meerderheid van ons polisie onbekwaam is – van voetsoolvlak tot senior bestuur, die minister ingesluit, en dit gaan nie net die volk benadeel nie ... buitelandse toeriste gaan nie hul lewe waag om ons land te besoek nie.

Ek is bevrees dit staan soos ’n paal bo water dat vigilante optrede ons voorland gaan wees.

Waar is ons munisipaliteit en owerhede?

Nêrens in Brackenfell kan jy vandag rondry en die sypaadjies miskyk nie.

Die onkruid staan in sommige strate meer as ’n meter hoog.

Ek het al hoeveel keer Stad Kaapstad gekontak en versoeke gerig op die Stad Kaapstadapplikasie, maar niks het nog gebeur nie.

Op die hoek van Kruis- en Brackenstraat het ’n waterpyp gebars en die munisipaliteit was daar om dit te herstel, maar die sypaadjie is net so gelos. Die grond is nie gelyk gemaak nie.

As jy in Kruisstraat van die verkeersdepartement af ry na die stasie toe, sien jy aan albei kante van die sypaadjie hoe hoog die onkruid staan.

Jakaranda-parkie is vuil en op die terrein aan die oorkant waar die ou Voortrekkersaaltjie staan, is die onkruid net so hoog. Daar slaap ’n man in ’n tent op hierdie terrein en

wetstoepassing doen niks daaraan nie.

Die stasie is vuil en onwettige straatverkopers (straatmense) verkoop hul gesteelde artikels daar.

Kyk hoe lyk die terrein langs KFC in Ruwari.

En as jy al hierdie dinge aanmeld, dan sê die persoon aan die ander kant net hulle sal vir jou ’n SMS stuur.

Wat gaan dít help? Waar is ons wyksraadlede?

Is daar nog bevoegde mense in ons stadsraad?

Wat van reg op privaatheid?

Ek dink dit is uitstekend dat Johan Fritz en Eben Nel die gemeenskap deur middel van hommeltuie gaan help om misdaad te help bekamp.

Uit ’n regsaspek wil ek net graag weet hoe hulle die kwessie oorbrug wat betrekking het op die reg op privaatheid. Met ’n hommeltuig kan jy inzoem op ’n persoon se erf en selfs ook deur vensters kyk.

Rabbits in area a problem We at Langeberg Ridge have a big problem with rabbits.

We have been complaining about rabbits but neighbours are feeding the rabbits arround the park. Currently, we cannot utilise our park or walk our dogs properly. Dogs are going crazy at night when rabbits are about.

We are already scared that our neighbors without dogs will complain.

Where an to whom can we escalated the issue to?

Dienslewering bereik nuwe laagtepunt Die munisipaliteit was nog nooit goed met die bestuur van sy werkers nie.

Ons ken almal die situasie waar werk geskep word in groepe waar twee werk en agt rus.

Onlangs, in vlak 1, het dit egter ’n nuwe laagtepunt bereik.

Ek en sewe ander sit op die stoep van die munisipale kantore vir die een teller om ons te help. Ek is tweede in die ry, maar dit neem 45 minute.

Toe sien ons ’n tipiese voorbeeld van personeelgebruik.

Oorkant ons is ’n munisipale werker besig om die parkeerplek skoon te vee met ’n besem op wiele.

Van die besems is opgetel (vir minder weerstand). Hy het handskoene aan (vir eelte) en is besig met sy selfoon vir oproepe en musiek (multi-tasking).

Vandat ons begin tel het, het hy 25 keer dieselfde 10 x 3m stukkie parkeergebied “gevee”.

Heen-en-weer, heen-en-weer.

Toe ek daar wegry, was hy nog nie klaar nie en dieselfde blare het op dieselfde plek gelê as toe ek gekom het!

Dit was in die oggend en sy skof was seker tot namiddag ... en dan kom môre.

Alles het reg voor belastingbetalers plaasgevind en ons moet daarvoor opdok.

Dis skrikwekkend hoe geld gemors word.

Volgende jaar met die verkiesing moet ons hulle weer ondersteun.

Prioriteitslys 1 tot 4: beter salarisse, meer werkers, hoër tariewe, groter skuld en eers by nommer 27, produktiwiteit!

Athlete pushes to the extreme NETTALIE VILJOEN

W

hile most of us would consider staying in the plank position for longer than two minutes a test of endu­rance, Jamie Marais sets that bar somewhat higher.

On 30 August, Marais became the only known person in the world to have cycled a vertical ascent of 9 000 metres – the equivalent elevation of Mount Everest (8 845m) – in a big-5 game reserve over 36 hours.

Starting at 06:00 on Saturday 29 August, the adventure athlete pressed on through the night to reach the summit of a gravel circuit 40 times (337 kilometres) by 18:00 the next day. And he did it all for a good cause.

Well, two good causes – to protect endangered wildlife and to feed communities affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.

The Durbanville resident says a single phone call made during lockdown set the wheels in motion.

“I remember sitting at home, feeling so frustrated after having read yet another negative post about Covid-19. It got me thinking about my amazing holiday at Kariega Game Reserve in the Eastern Cape last December and how they must have been affected by the downturn in tourism.”

That’s when Marais called one of the reserve’s game wardens who in turn put him in touch with Lindy Sutherland, the director of the Kariega Foundation.

The non-profit trust, which supports wildlife conservation and community upliftment, is fuelled by a community and conservation levy paid by adult guests visiting Kariega Game Reserve. For five months, the big5 game reserve could not bring in any revenue. This meant that the foundation’s community projects, including an antipoaching unit and community food relief programmes, were in jeopardy.

Sutherland, a Constantia resident, says:

“Raising funds to ensure the safety of our endangered species and keep our neighbours and friends fed has become our priority.”

Putting their heads together, they came up with the idea for the #JamieRides4Rhinos campaign.

Once out there, it quickly garnered the support of an international team of creative people, including cycling commentator Phil Liggett, three-time winner of the Roof of Africa off-road endurance motorbike race Louwrens Mahoney of KTM, Mountain Bike SA magazine editor Paul Ingpen and filmmaker Fergus Clark.

Funds raised during the live social media broadcast of the event clocked in at R400 000.

Marais, who did not sleep a wink for the entire 36 hours, says what kept him going was the support of his family.

“My cousin Paul Marais cycled for 12 hours through the night with me. And each time I reached the summit, my wife, Rouchelle, was there, waiting for me.”

Rouchelle Liedemann, who also happens to be a well-known singer and a popular TV personality on kykNET, had broken her toe just a week or so before the event. Marais says seeing his wife there at 02:00 in the morning, hobbling around with her broken toe while bringing him a cup of tea, really warmed his spirit.

He shares a couple of mantras that he repeats to himself to stay motivated.

“What came to mind 32 hours into the ride was, ‘It is not that hard’. With four hours left to go, I started saying that to myself. The more you say it, the more you believe it.”

Jamie Marais says his biggest stress factor was the threat of colliding with wildlife each time he descended the rough gravel trail. INSERT: Jamie Marais and Lindy Sutherland.

Besides the huge change in temperature – blistering heat in the afternoon to freezing cold at night – Marais also had to contend with the threat of colliding with wildlife each time he descended the gravel trail.

“There was a large bull elephant, Charlie, who stopped me right in my tracks when I started. He stayed in the area, wanting to see what was going on. My biggest stress factor was descending at speed because crashing into an elephant is the last thing you want to do.”

Marais, who is the head of corporate sales for an IT and tech company based in Century City by day, began to focus on solo extreme endurance challenges four years ago. Having competed in top-ranked amateur men’s cycling teams throughout his 30s, Marais says the decision to change gears was made in response to him discovering his “why”.

“When I turned 40, I asked myself why I do what I do and why I want to do what I

want to do. I realised my true passion was inspiring people to believe in themselves, to help others realise that nothing is too big to face and to overcome. Each challenge I tackle is a metaphor for what people are facing in life.”

He completed his first major challenge in 2016 when he speed-summitted Table Mountain 22 times in 28 hours over two days to raise funds for the Sabrina Love Foundation which cares for children with special needs.

Since then, Marais has taken on one big project every year.

As to what’s next, Marais says he hasn’t decided yet. “But each challenge is becoming more dangerous and extreme. So let’s see what the future holds,” he adds.

An e-version of Marais’s autobiography, Determination, is available on Smashwords.com and Amazon.

SOFTBALL: LOCAL SEASON STILL OFF THE CARDS

Waiting for dust to settle NOORE NACERODIEN

T

he 2020/2021 local softball season, run by the Cape Town Softball Association (CTSA), will not go ahead.

The softball season usually runs from October to March every year.

The previous season only managed to finish a matter of days before the lockdown was officially implemented.

The pandemic had a major effect on the sport locally, which has five women and three men’s leagues with many youth teams. Nationally, events such as the National Provincial Championships, normally held in March, was also cancelled.

However, the government stance regarding softball as a non-contact sport has baffled players and administrators alike – who have the collective thought, saying, “there’s nothing soft about it”.

The dust will stand thick when players clash at a base. Contact between opposing players is inevitable.

The majority of clubs supported the Cape Town Softball Association’s (CTSA) executive committee in their proposal not to play the 2020/2021 season.

The CTSA will, however, review the status of the pandemic at the end of November for a possible start in January 2021, albeit a shortened competition season.

The cost to ensure that the playing venues are compliant in terms of regulatory requirements is exorbitant, but CTSA chairperson Hayley Carolus says health and safety is of paramount importance.

“We are responsible and held accountable for their safety and their loved ones at home. It was by no

means easy to propose the ‘no play’ (decision). We are all eager to return back to the field of play to continue enjoying this beautiful game we all love so dearly.

“However, this is no normal season we are living in, and we are heading into an uncertain future.

We are living in extraordinary times and I hope times that we will never experience in our lifetime again,” she said.

“By moving to alert level 1, we have to be extremely cautious and keep practising social distancing, washing of hands regularly, wearing a mask, as we are now more

vulnerable than ever, with limited borders and airports opening up. I would rather want our softball fraternity to be safe, healthy and living than to return to the field of play too soon and be at risk of any danger,” Carolus added.

Nazeem Dulvie, veteran coach of current Super League champions, Westridge Yankees Softball Club, echoed the sentiment, questioning the government’s view that the sport is a non-contact sport.

“Surely the ones who are categorising the code as non-contact has not watched this beautiful game being played at an elite level.

“Pick-off plays on bases are exciting and contact is inevitable.

Not to mention those close plays at home plate when players collide as well as ‘run-downs’,” he says.

Dulvie adds that the pandemic has had a major impact on preparations, especially considering the closure of facilities for most of the lockdown period, while limited resources exacerbate the safe return to action.

“Not all players can afford their own equipment, and this has added to the lack of proper preparations.

We need to look at the holistic wellbeing of our athletes and the effects

possible Covid-19 infections can have on them physically, emotionally and financially. Even though we might have younger ‘low risk’ athletes competing, these athletes go home where they might live with ‘high-risk individuals’.

“Also considering that our more experienced technical staff are older and at a higher risk than the players. This sport has stood the test of time and will be there way after the Covid-19 pandemic has been surpassed.

“It is time to take caution and protect our players, technical and their families,” Dulvie concluded.

There will be no action at Turfhall Softball Stadium, the home of the Cape Town Softball Association, following a “no play” decision.
