WINNING PROJECT: YOUNG PERSPECTIVES ON COVID-19

Children’s voices heard CARINA ROUX

T

wo learners from Jan Kriel School, Talitha Counter (Grade 10) and Luzuko Sonkapu (Grade 12), were part of a radio project, “Children’s Voices on Covid-19”, which recently received global recognition.

The project from RX Radio, a radio station run by and for children at the Red Cross Children’s War Memorial Hospital, was one of two winners of the Reboot Health and Wellbeing Innovation Challenge organised by the World Health Organisation (WHO), the UN Office of Information and Communications Technology (UN-OICT), UNaids, the World Food Programme (WFP) and Unicef.

The challenge aimed to “inspire young people from around the world to develop solutions to one of the most urgent health challenges for the next decade: keeping young people safe.”

RX Radio is one of the first radio stations in the world that trains child reporters to broadcast from within a hospital and began operating in 2016. They broadcast through the hospital television network and the internet. Radio producer Chris Booth says he and three young reporters, Talitha, Luzuko and Alaweyah Mogali, were the faces of the project representing RX radio reporters, as they made the video for their entry submission.

Booth says with the outbreak of Covid-19, reporters began utilising WhatsApp voicenotes, video and other remote recording methods to gather content about the pandemic, and act as an educational, informational and entertainment tool for audiences and their families.

Early in April, Luzuko (18) shared his experience in lockdown when he used his cellphone to broadcast from home in Queenstown. A positive for him was spending quality time with his family but on the negative “everything he had planned to do was on hold.”

Besides finishing matric, Luzuko’s plans included taking part in the school’s debating activities and being involved with the school

Luzuko spoke about his fears as he has a chronic illness, called spinal muscular atrophy. “Coronavirus and my illness – if they can click together, they can basically kill me (sic).”

The former learner of Paarl School who started at Jan Kriel at the beginning of the year, says she got involved with RX Radio

in 2017 after a nurse asked her if she would be interested. She was very nervous at first and says she felt like suffocating the first time she was on air. All potential reporters receive some basic training and gradually her confidence grew.

‘Alcohol not the problem, but its abuse’ RICHARD ROBERTS @richardjohn_rj

T

he recent ban on the sale of alcohol by president Cyril Ramaphosa may not be a solution to combatting the Covid-19 pandemic in South Africa.

This is the view of Geoff Jacobs, president of the Cape Chamber of Commerce and Industry, who told TygerBurger that by re-imposing the ban on alcohol, the national command council is once again focussing on the wrong issue. Jacobs says it is not that alcohol is the problem, but its abuse, which is

a social problem that has been with us for years.

“Banning it will not make it go away. Only more effective policing and social work would reduce the impact. Moreover, the ban has already proven to have unintended consequences, namely the encouragement of a large black market run by a criminal underworld, or even more dangerously, an increase in home-brewing, potentially with deadly consequences,” Jacobs says.

He adds that the economic impact is severe.

“Not only will it damage a key sector of

the economy of the Western Cape, threatening loss of employment of thousands of people, it also means a loss of billions of rand at a time when the country needs every job the private sector can provide, and the treasury every cent it can raise,” Jacobs says.

A day after the recent ban on alcohol sales was reinstated a large amount of high-end liquor was stolen from an OK Liquor Store in Bothasig. The incident occurred in the early hours of Tuesday 14 July.

Brig Novella Potelwa, a provincial police spokesperson, says Bothasig police are investigating the burglary.

“Preliminary reports indicate that at 04:35 the owner of the store at Village Centre in Vryburger Drive, Bothasig, was alerted to the activation of an alarm system by a security company on the premises.

“Upon arrival, he discovered that the security gates in front of the store had been forcibly removed and that the window next to the door was broken. A substantial amount of high-end liquor had been stolen,” Potelwa says.

Earlier this year liquor stores in Elsies River, Delft and Langa were also looted during the ban on alcohol sales.

City removes water hyacinth: Following heavy rainfall over the past two weeks, the City of Cape Town started with the removal of water hyacinth at the Milnerton Lagoon mouth on Friday 17 July. The work will be completed within the next three to four days, pending any unforeseen delays.

The water hyacinth has washed down from upstream in the Diep River with some of it getting stuck at the historic Milnerton bridge. The hyacinth is being dislodged with an excavator for free flow to the mouth of the lagoon where it will be loaded onto trucks once the material has dried over the coming days.

Once the work is completed, the free flow of water under the bridge, and to and from the lagoon mouth, will be restored.

HET JY GEWEET? Kinders kry tussen geboorte en die ouderdom van 12 jaar 16 inentings. Hiervan word 14 in die eerste 18 maande van hul lewens toegedien.

Die inenting van kinders help om sterftes te voorkom en verminder kindersiektes soos masels, polio, witseerkeel en tuberkulose. Kinders moet op 6 en 12 jaar versterkingsdosisse kry.

Die Stad het die afgelope maande ’n afname van 67% in die inenting van kinders by Stadsklinieke opgemerk.

Ons verstaan dat kliniekbesoeke weens die COVID-19pandemie afgeneem het, maar ons het maatreëls getref om veilige kliniekbesoeke te verseker vir belangrike primêregesondheidsorg, soos inentings.

Dit sluit die daarstel van oorloopfasiliteite in om algemene gesondheidsorg van COVID-19-gevalle te skei, die verbetering van ons afspraakstelsel en die sifting van almal wat ons klinieke besoek.

Moenie wag nie – laat jou kind vandag nog inent!

Dienste van kinderhuis se hoof beëindig ESMÉ ERASMUS @erasmusesme

D

ie dienste van die hoof van die Durbanville-kinderhuis, wat maar in Januarie vanjaar die leisels oorgeneem het, is onlangs beëindig.

Jan Slabbert (53), wat al sowat 22 jaar ’n inwoner van Durbanville is, is in die pos aangestel nadat die vorige hoof, Rudolf Bezuidenhout, op 10 Mei verlede jaar aan ’n hartaanval gesterf het.

Gerugte het die afgelope twee weke die ronde gedoen dat Slabbert seuns wat na bewering by sy huis op die perseel ingebreek het, hardhandig hanteer het. Dit is egter glad nie die geval nie.

Volgens ’n mediaverklaring deur Lezaan Lennox, voorsitter van die Durbanville-kinderhuis se beheerraad, is sy dienste beëindig ná ’n tugverhoor.

“Met die aanstelling van Slabbert in Januarie het ons hoop en steun hom vergesel.

Slabbert het geroepe gevoel om die betrekking te aanvaar. In sy proeftydperk van ses maande het dit aan die lig gekom dat sy bestuur- en hanteringstyl nie ooreenstem met die beleid van Badisa, die Kinderwet en die praktykstandaarde wat met hom ooreengekom is nie. “’n Tugverhoor is gehou en die uitslag was dat hy nie permanent aangestel sal word nie. Sy dienste is op 23 Junie beëindig,” het Lennox gesê.

“Die kinders wat deur die staat in die sorg van die kinderhuis geplaas word, toon soms uitdagende en getraumatiseerde gedrag weens die omstandighede waaruit hulle kom.

“Die kinderhuis se missie is om aan hierdie kinders ’n veilige tuiste met verskeie geleenthede te verskaf sodat trauma en agterstande deurgewerk kan word.

“Hierdie is ’n komplekse en dinamiese taak wat begrip, empatiese hantering en sorgvuldige begrensing benodig om gedragsverandering mee te bring.

“In meewerking met ons omliggende gemeenskap en rolspelers bly ons gefokus op hierdie doel.

‘Immunise to prevent pandemics’

“Ons glo dat die verhouding met ons kinders ‘die agent van verandering en groei’ is en ons kan nie daarvan afwyk nie,” het sy gesê.

Slabbert werk glo reeds sedert einde April nie meer by die kinderhuis nie en moet einde vandeesmaand die huis op die perseel van die kinderhuis ontruim.

Johanna Strauss, bestuurder van bemarking en fondswerwing, is as tussentydse bestuurder aangestel.

“Sy het grondige kennis van die kinderhuis se werksaamhede,” het Lennox gesê.

Sy wou nie verdere besonderhede aan TygerBurger gee oor presies wat gebeur het nie.

“In hierdie stadium is dit nodig dat Jan Slabbert geleentheid gegee word om alle regsprosesse wat hy van stapel wil stuur, af te handel sonder dat spesifieke besonderhede aan die media verskaf word. Ingevolge arbeidspraktyk mag dié besonderhede tussen die werkgewer en werknemer nie bekend gemaak word nie,” het Lennox gesê.

TygerBurger het probeer om Slabbert in die hande te kry vir kommentaar, maar was onsuksesvol om sy kontakbesonderhede by die kinderhuis, kerk of op internet te bekom.

Slabbert, ’n gekwalifiseerde geoktrooieerde rekenmeester, was 19 jaar lank ’n finansiële adviseur met sy eie batebestuursfirma.

Hy het daarna 14 maande as finansiële direkteur by Wepex, ’n ingenieursmaatskappy in die Paarl, gewerk.

Hy het in Januarie vanjaar vir TygerBurger gesê dit was altyd sy droom om meer betrokke te raak by die kinderhuis (“Nuwe hoof by Durbanville-kinderhuis”, 22/01).

Sy belangstelling in die kinderhuis het ontstaan toe die NG kerk Durbanville in 2016 sy hulp gevra het met die katkisasie van die kinderhuiskinders. Hy het groot sukses behaal om die groep seuns te motiveer en aan te moedig tot beter gedrag.

Hy het gereeld hoërskoolmeisies geneem om saam met hom aan die parkruns op Meerendal te gaan deelneem. Hy het ook die kinders aan tweekamp blootgestel.

Off-duty cop catches robbers Armed men who robbed a superette in Brackenfell on Saturday 11 July were swiftly brought to book by an off-duty police officer from Brackenfell police.

Moments after the robbery, the police officer saw the suspects flee the scene in a white Toyota Camry. He followed the vehicle while calling for backup from the Maitland fly-

ing squad who was in the vicinity.

Police followed the vehicle to Mfuleni where two suspects were caught.

“The men, aged 29 and 39, were arrested and a 9mm Norinco pistol, one magazine and 15 rounds of ammunition were seized,” says provincial police spokesperson, Capt FC van Wyk. - Desirée Rorke

The City’s health officials are calling on parents to adhere to their children’s immunisation schedules to prevent future pandemics.

In a press statement released last week, the City’s health department says there has been a 67% drop in the number of immunisations carried out at City clinics “due to the Covid-19 pandemic”.

The department is worried about other pandemics like measles if the rate doesn’t pick up.

Children receive 16 immunisations between birth and the age of 12.

Of these, 14 are given in the first 18 months of their lives.

City’s Mayco member for health, Zahid Badroodien, says: “If a large number of

children is not adequately covered by the full immunisation schedule as outlined in the road to health booklet, it can result in the spread of communicable diseases like measles, particularly as children congregate at school or crèche, which aids transmission.

“The City realises that parents might be hesitant to bring their children to the clinic while we try to navigate the risks posed by the Covid-19 pandemic, but if we do not act swiftly, we could be faced with another pandemic in the future.

“We need parents and caregivers to do their bit by making their appointments and bringing the children to the clinics for these immunisations. We rely on the public for this.”

Crime continues despite lockdown ESMÉ ERASMUS @erasmusesme

A

mid a spike in Covid-19 cases, people take advantage of the eased restrictions in level 3 and so do criminals.

On Monday last week (13 July) at about 15:55 five men wearing balaclavas and caps entered Computer Mania Shop at Village Square shopping centre in Durbanville.

According to Capt Marchell Rhode, spokesperson for the Durbanville police, two of the men took out firearms and threatened one of the shop assistants and clients that were in the shop.

“They forced the shop assistant, the security guard and clients to the storeroom, where they were locked up,” Rhode said.

The thugs took R10 000 cash and 57 laptops

with a total value of R400 000.

According to video footage, a silver BMW and silver VW Polo with CA and CAA registration numbers were at the scene, Rhode said. “No shots were fired and nobody was injured. No arrests have been made at this stage,” he said.

A case of attempted murder and house robbery was opened after an incident on Saturday 11 July at a house in Shiraz Ebrahim Street in Fisantekraal.

According to Rhode three unknown men entered the house at 23:20 and demanded cash from the owner of the house.

“One of the robbers fired several shots and the brother of the homeowner was hit in his leg. The robbers forced them inside the house, where they took the home owner’s cellphone and cash,” he said.

The suspects fled the scene by foot and ran into the nearby informal settlement.

A case of attempted murder and house robbery is being investigated by the Durbanville police.

On Friday 10 July at 21:00 officers of the Durbanville crime prevention unit confiscated illicit cigarettes to the value of R74 000.

The police officers were busy at an accident scene on Klipheuwel Road when they saw a white Toyota motor vehicle passing them at a high speed.

“They followed the vehicle and pulled the vehicle off the road. Inside the vehicle, they found two men who informed them that they are on their way to Malmesbury.

After further investigation, the police officers found three boxes filled with 128 cartons of illicit cigarettes inside the car. The two

men were arrested for possession of illicit cigarettes, Rhode said.

Charnel Hattingh, national marketing and communications manager at Fidelity ADT, warned that the higher activity in suburbs, on the roads and around shopping environments is attractive to criminals.

The other concern around shopping environments is the fact that a lot of people are followed home.

Hattingh says it is imperative to have your wits about you from the time you get back into your car: . Check for suspicious people or vehicles and make sure you are not being followed. . Never flash your purchases around. . Do not wear expensive jewellery when out shopping. . Keep a remote panic button in your car.

Subsidised houses being sold, rented The Western Cape human settlements minister is concerned about residents who received a fully subsidised home from government and is now selling or renting it out.

According to the minister, Tertius Simmers, if someone is selling his property it shows that there was never a need for a home. “This information tells us that the government is being defrauded. I regard the action of anyone that embarks on this route as unethical, as they’re denying one of the almost 600 000 people that are currently on the Western Cape Housing Demand Database (HDD) a housing opportunity, and their families who in the future could benefit from this asset. A fully subsidised house costs the state close to R500 000,” says Simmers.

Between May and the end of June 2020 Simmers says they received 11 official com-

plaints about houses in Forest Village, Delft, Blue Downs and Eerste River either being rented or which might have been sold.

“In one report, a couple in Forest Village is being accused of currently renting two properties. This excludes the informal reports being highlighted on social media. The law is clear that every South African citizen who receives a government housing subsidy when buying or receiving a property, will be subject to a pre-emptive condition in their title deed, meaning the individual cannot sell the property within the prescribed eight years of receiving the subsidised house unless it has received permission from the provincial department of human settlements to do so. For the sale to occur, the beneficiary needs to submit an application to the department to have the pre-emptive clause waived and removed from the title

deed,” says Simmers.

Property can be sold when beneficiaries need to relocate (proof will be requested) to a better area or another city or town, loss of employment (when commuting to new work is impossible), or beneficiaries find themselves and their family’s victims of crime. “It is further important to note that approval will be on condition that the purchaser is a South African citizen, is competent to contract, the purchaser does not own and has never owned fixed property before and the seller lived on the property for at least two years after the effective date of sale.

“My department is currently investigating all the reports and pursuant to the conclusion of the investigation the necessary and relevant action will be taken. We will not hesitate to act against those who have defrauded the State in this manner.”

Violence over electricity in Wesbank BRENDEN RUITER @ruitervaniewind

V

iolence erupted in Wesbank over the weekend after the community was left without electricity for more than a

week.

Angry mobs of community members barricaded streets and highways in and around Wesbank on Friday and Saturday.

On Saturday the stench of pepper spray was hanging in the air and law enforcement officers were in full force.

Local ward councillor, Ebrahim Sawant, says it has become clear again this weekend that the greater Wesbank community is one

of the hardest-hit communities with power failures for days on end.

“Loadshedding and inadequate infrastructure, large scale stealing of cables and illegal electricity connections as well as low maintenance budgets seem to be the main contributing factors.

“I called Eskom to a public meeting before the lockdown in Wesbank where the community expressed their unhappiness and frustrations. Eskom promised to look into the problems raised.

“The effects of loadshedding, for example, worsens the conditions of these already poor and vulnerable communities as deaths and escalating gangsterism can be attributed to

it. People are afraid to go to work early and come back late,” says Sawant.

According to Sawant it is time to stop making excuses and deal with the problems holistically. “I am requesting Eskom to meet with us and community representatives to present us with an intervention plan that addresses all areas of the problem,” says Sawant.

Richard Mali, customer relations area manager at Eskom, says the problems in Wesbank are not due to lack of effort from Eskom, but rather criminal acts.

“We requested the councillor’s (Sawant’s) assistance and support with addressing the repeat acts of theft and vandalism of Eskom

cables and network equipment installed to provide quality electricity services to Eskom valued customers in Wesbank.

“We would really appreciate if the main objective of the meeting Sawant requested is to share the community social plan and interventions to address cable theft and criminal activities within Wesbank in collaboration with Eskom security, the police and the City of Cape Town.

“Eskom is incurring very high costs due to the repeat theft incidents and the Eskom field staff safety and security is at risk each time they have to return to do repairs on a cable that they repaired a few hours ago,” says Mali.

Man met mes aangeval DESIRÉE RORKE @dezzierorke

Leë perlemoenhuis: Polisielede in Bellville het verlede Woensdag 15 Julie op ’n huis toegeslaan wat blykbaar alleenlik vir die verwerking van perlemoen gebruik is. Die huis in Proteavallei was byna heeltemal leeg en net toerusting vir die verwerking van perlemoen, asook vier stukke perlemoen, is daarin gevind. Niemand is nog in hegtenis geneem nie. Die polisielede wat deel was van die klopjag, is ao. Edmund Delport, kapt. Hilton Hendricks, sers. Johnay Fielies, konst. Bulelani Rthathinga en konst. Emilio le Fleur.

’n Onbekende man van iets in die twintig is verlede Donderdag (16 Julie) ernstig beseer in ’n mesaanval by ’n huis in Boogstraat, wat tans deur rondlopers bewoon word.

Die Brackenfell-polisie het Maandagoggend bevestig hulle is bewus van die voorval, maar het gesê hulle beskik oor geen verdere inligting nie. “’n Inwoner in Boogstraat in Morgenster het die polisie gekontak oor ’n slagoffer van ’n mesaanval, wat glo in die pad gelê het.

“Met die polisie se aankoms in Boogstraat kon hulle niemand vind nie.

“Die polisie is toe ingelig dat die man langs die pad op die aangrensende N1-snelweg lê,

maar met hul aankoms daar is ook niemand gevind nie.

“Ons vermoed die ambulans het die slagoffer hospitaal toe vervoer voor die polisie daar opgedaag het,” sê kapt. Erica Crous, woordvoerder van die Brackenfell-polisie.

Volgens haar is daar nog geen amptelike saak by die polisiekantoor aangemeld nie.

Titanium Securitas het op die noodroep gereageer.

“ER24-ambulansdienste is ook na die toneel ontbied. Die man het veelvuldige meswonde opgedoen en het op die toneel noodbehandeling ontvang. Hy is toe hospitaal toe geneem,” sê ’n woordvoerder van Titanium Securitas.

Volgens inligting is die man aangeval nadat ’n stryery met ’n ander man in die agterplaas van die huis uitgebreek het.

Heavy rains cause headaches THABANG KUAHO @thab_journo

E

ikendal’s Perth and Alice streets are part of the City of Cape Town’s Winter Preparedness Programme and are cleaned on time annually leading to the winter season.

This is according to Felicity Purchase, Mayco member for transport in reaction to complaints about flooding in the area.

Purchase says First and Third Avenues as well as Perth and Da Gama streets were cleaned in May and June this year.

When flooding incidents are reported, Purchase says, the City’s stormwater teams respond and attend to the various blockages which have occurred.

In a case where flooding occurs within a private property, she says the City is not authorised to conduct any work.

“Such cases need to be investigated to establish the root of the problem. If it (the problem) originates from a municipal infrastructure system, the City always tries its best to honour its commitments in addressing these problems.

She advises residents to lodge service requests through the City’s e-service request platform.

“This way we can keep track of the residents’ service requests by using the service request reference number which is automatically generated once it is logged,”

Purchase says.

For many people, rain signifies the washing away of past ills, but for an Eikendal resident it is work and worries.

Often when heavy rains make an appearance Carlton Julies and his family need to put on their gumboots, grab empty buckets and begin draining water out of their property.

“I have witnessed the flooding problem ever since I was a child, but it has become worse in the last three years,” Julies says.

Apart from his yard, Julies says his garage has also become affected.

He says this always frustrates him and his family and help never seems to come around.

“We have reported this a number of times to councillor Brenda Hansen, but nothing has been done.”

He says all the municipality has done to offer relief to him and his neighbours was to replace a 200 meter pipe which runs underground through the neighbourhood.

Although he says councillor Brenda Hansen has had a good working relationship with residents, her approach to this situation has been unsavoury..

Floods as a result of heavy rains often result in frustration for Carlton Julies and his family.

Welcome back, Grade 2!

FROM PAGE 1 Talitha enjoys school and says her classmates have recently returned but it’s deemed risky for her condition – which she explains stems from having had meningitis as a six-week-old baby.

She is continuing with her schoolwork at home in Khayelitsha with help from a WhatsApp group and online schooling.

When she needs to submit assignments, it’s done via the occupational therapist at Jan Kriel.

There was no sign of any nervousness when Talitha did the presentation at the virtual event. She told the audience her first thought when she initially heard about the coronavirus was, “you instantly going to die’’. She says this was because media reports tend to focus more on the deaths than recoveries.

Talitha asked the audience whether they’ve ever asked their children how they feel about the pandemic and the virus.

She told them one of the first things the reporters at RX Radio started doing (since the lockdown began) was to do public service announcements and conduct interviews that give information about the coronavirus. They also gathered children’s experiences – this included “how they fe-

el, how they’re keeping busy and advise on keeping save.’’

While two reporters have the equipment to broadcast live from home, others have been contributing to shows by sending WhatsApp voice notes. Interviews were done with children, parents, politicians, decision-makers, and healthcare workers to engage with them and ask important questions that affect children.

This content is available on RX Radio’s website and new content is uploaded daily.

Talitha said the programme helped parents to engage with children about their fears and have shown many different perspectives children have on the coronavirus.

She said it was also helpful to hear what others were going through, “as it gives us a sense of community and brings us together through shared experiences, storytelling, and empathy. While we’ve been physically separated, we’ve also been brought together through this project.”

As an internet radio station, the biggest challenge is their reach, given the cost of data and access to Wi-Fi locally.

Talitha said besides the coronavirus their goal is to hear more children’s voices on different topics, and to reach every paediatric ward around the country.

Gebreyesus was impressed by Talitha’s presentation and said they could learn from it. He even hinted to a possible invitation to have Talitha and others in Geneva, at the WHO headquarters in future.

He asked Talitha why it is important for her to participate in developing solutions for her own health. She said as a child she has the right to take certain decisions about her health.

“My disability does not mean I can’t voice my opinions of what need to happen to my health.”

Losing a loved one to Covid-19 Many families across the province have had to face the tragic loss of their loved ones due to Covid-19. During the pandemic, the loss of a loved one is unfortunately complicated by the need to prevent the coronavirus from spreading further.

For this reason, the provincial department of health has provided guidelines to ensure that the community is aware of the measures that can be taken to keep safe as preparations are made to lay loved ones to rest.

With a limit on how many people can attend funerals, technology is playing a crucial role.

No weddings, all funerals DESIRÉE RORKE @dezzierorke

I

n a span of only three short months, the coronavirus pandemic has changed the way we live, and die.

In a twist of fate he never could have imagined, professional videographer Rudi van Zyl has gone from filming weddings to filming and live streaming funerals.

In an ironic bid to secure his livelihood and those of eight other videographers, his Tygervalley-based business, Pie in the Sky Multimedia, had to change their business model to specialise on the funeral industry.

“With the start of lockdown level 5, our mainstream business being weddings and corporate events came to a sudden standstill. Income dried up overnight and we had to come up with new ideas fast,” he says.

The move to pioneer live stream funerals was born from necessity when a local funeral undertaker contacted him to film a funeral. “People could no longer travel between provinces or gather in large groups, leaving families alone to bury their loved ones.”

Filming and live streaming funeral services to family members, friends and loved ones across cities, provinces and even countries offered a pragmatic solution and some comfort to grieving families.

He acquired the specialised equipment to do live streaming in 2017 for a special corporate event.

“Live streaming events were not too popular at the time and I had very little use for the equipment. I planned to sell it in Decem-

ber 2019, but for some reason, maybe fate, I never got around to posting the advertisement.”

Van Zyl explains that videographers with roaming cameras will film the entire service at the church or gravesite to stream on social media platforms like Facebook or YouTube, with no limit on numbers. The video footage can be viewed anytime.

“Our first funeral was a Hindu funeral in Parklands during June. A thousand people were able to attend the funeral ‘online’. At another recent funeral for a young man who died in a car accident in Cape Town, the funeral had over 5 000 views. During a recent funeral in Brackenfell, family members from London were able to attend the service online.”

Of all the funerals, up to three a week, Van Zyl covered since June, only one was due to a Covid-19 death. This week they filmed the funeral of a woman who died at the age of 101. “It gave the family much comfort to know that her entire family, children and grandchildren could be part of her send-off.”

According to Pieter van der Westhuizen, Avbob’s general manager for funeral services, South Africa is seeing far fewer annual deaths than the highs of the mid-2000s when the HIV epidemic was at its peak. “Based on the latest available census figures for deaths recorded, South Africa last year had about 3 300 fewer deaths each week than it had 15 years ago. Deaths caused by Covid-19 are still a long way off from this; in fact, the country has only now surpassed a total figure of 4 000 deaths since the pandemic hit.

Niks blomme op grafte toegelaat CARINA ROUX Mag jy tans blomme op die graf van ’n geliefde gaan sit?

TygerBurger het ’n navraag aan die Stad Kaapstad gerig ná Andre Lategan, ’n inwoner van Amandelrug in Kuilsrivier, sy ontevredenheid uitgespreek het omdat hy by ’n paar geleenthede toegang tot die Stikland-begraafplaas geweier is.

Lategan sê hy wou blomme op sy ouers se grafte gaan sit op Vadersdag, Moedersdag, en die laaste keer op 7 Julie, die herdenking van sy ma se verjaarsdag.

Met sy laaste poging was daar ook ’n begrafnis aan die gang. Lategan sê hy neem aan daar was so om en by 50 mense.

“Meeste van die mense het nie eens gesigmaskers gedra nie. Dit is reg, maar ek wat net blomme op my ouers se graf wil sit, word geweier. Waar is die regverdigheid of geldigheid rakende sulke patetie-

se wetgewing?” vra hy.

Zahid Badroodien, burgemeesterskomiteelid vir gemeenskapsdienste en gesondheid, sê ongelukkig maak die nasionale regulasies vir vlak 3 van die inperking nie voorsiening vir besoeke aan grafte nie, maar slegs vir die noodsaaklikheid van begrafnisse.

Badroodien sê begraafplase word tydens die Covid-19-pandemie toenemend besiger en om besoekers by grafte toe te laat sal bydraende eise stel aan die personeel wat sekuriteit betref. Hy sê besoekers maak dikwels op die hulp van die opsigter staat om ’n bepaalde graf te vind.

Badroodien sê grafte word vooraf gereed gemaak vir begrafnisse en hierdie oop grafte skep ’n verdere veiligheidsrisiko. Deur dus tans nie besoekers toe te laat nie, word die risiko dat die voorbereide grafte per abuis versteur kan word, ook verminder, sê hy.

How do I get clarity on what happened? . Understanding what happened to your loved one may help. Speak to the health workers who cared for your loved one or any other person who knows about Covid-19. . Contact the bereavement helpline on 082 925 5938 or 079 872 6408 to speak to someone who can guide and provide counsel to you and your family.

Can we view our loved one’s body if they passed away because of Covid-19?

There are regulations to prevent the coronavirus from spreading and these may not allow you to see your loved one’s body. If you can view the body, avoid touching or kissing your loved one’s body.

If the family decides to hold a viewing, follow these guidelines: . Do not let anyone touch the body. . Keep apart from each other. . Wear a mask. . Sanitise hands afterwards.

Are there any precautions to take in preparing our loved one’s body? . Washing and dressing your loved one should only be done by undertakers or those trained to use personal protective equipment (PPE). . Your loved one’s body must remain at the undertaker until the funeral.

What must I do when I receive my loved one’s belongings?

Wash the clothing and linen with hot water and soap. Disinfect other items (phone, spectacles, toiletries) with diluted bleach solution. After handling unwashed laundry and objects, wash your hands well. . How can I hold a funeral or ritual that will be safe and not put my family and close friends at risk?

A funeral does provide an opportunity for family and loved ones to say goodbye, however, it is important to note that people may catch the coronavirus from your loved one’s body, and also from any one of the other people at the funeral.

If you are unable to prepare a funeral

as you are used to, plan to hold a ritual when it is safe, to help say goodbye.

These are some measures to ensure that the funeral or ritual will provide minimal risk to your family and friends: . If there are no delays with family members travelling or home affairs, try to hold the funeral within three days of your loved one’s passing. . Ensure that a maximum of 50 people (family, guests and staff) will attend as this is the number permitted. . Consider live-streaming for those over 55 years or with chronic conditions as they are at risk of severe Covid-19. . The funeral ceremony should last less than 30 minutes. . Do not hold a gathering after the funeral – mourners should leave straight after the ceremony. . Keep 1.5 metres apart from other mourners. . Avoid handshakes, hugging or kissing.

How can I ensure mourners are coronavirus safe? . Ask people not to attend if they are sick. . Mourners must wear cloth masks at all times. . Mourners must keep 1.5 metres apart from each other. . Provide hand sanitiser or handwashing stations. . Keep a register of mourners. This will enable health authorities to trace them should someone develop Covid-19.

Are there any logistics I should be aware of? . Register your loved one’s death. You will need their identity document and death notification from the hospital. Ask the undertaker to help you. . Arrange the funeral. When someone passed away because of Covid-19, it is recommended that their remains are cremated.

How do I take care of myself?

It is important to remember to take care of yourself. This includes prioritising your own health and finding ways to cope. Losing a loved one affects everyone differently; there is no right or wrong way to feel. It may help to talk about your feelings to a friend, relative or counsellor.

Try and get enough sleep and avoid using alcohol and other substances to relieve your grief.

Remember, if you had close contact with your loved one in the past 14 days, you may have caught the coronavirus.

You should quarantine (separate) yourself for 14 days from last contact to prevent passing it on.

Not wearing a mask could land you in prison SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS @samantha_lee121 Not wearing a face mask could result in a hefty fine or imprisonment as this is now backed by law.

Following president Cyril Ramaphosa’s address on Sunday 12 July, the mandatory wearing of masks along with the rest of the amended level three restrictions were gazetted – making them binding. Ramaphosa also said that the excuse that masks are not available is not valid as anything – including a t-shirt, scarf or piece of fabric – could be tied around the face to cover the nose and mouth.

“Even as most of our people have taken action to prevent the spread of the virus, there are others who have not,” said Ramaphosa in his address. “There are some among us who ignore the regulations that have been passed to combat the disease. They also act without any responsibility to respect and protect each other.”

He added that wearing masks and washing hands was familiar to everyone by now as a means to combat the spread of Covid-19.

“Employers, shop owners and managers, public transport operators, and managers and owners of any other public building are now legally obliged to ensure that anyone entering their premises or vehicle must be wearing a mask.”

Justice minister Ronald Lamola calls on residents to normalise the wearing of masks.

“It must be embarrassing not to wear a mask. It must be cool to wear a mask and it must be something that is becoming the new normal,” he says.

Premier Alan Winde welcomed the announcement and called on residents in the province to adhere to the amended restrictions “Our own behavioural science research and medical advice are that maskwearing remains one of the most effective measures in slowing the spread of the virus.”

@k10daniels Donations for a soup kitchen in Brooklyn poured in on Friday 17 July, aimed at providing relief to destitute families.

The City’s mayor, Dan Plato, donated approximately R12 000 worth of goods, which included a three-plate gas burner, two large cooking pots (100 l and 80 l) as well as a range of dry ingredients such as lentils, samp and beans, among other items.

Plato said that during Covid-19 lockdown, the need for soup kitchens has become even greater and it’s important that the City assists as far as possible to ensure people don’t go hungry.

The recipient of the donation, Fay Vogel, the chairperson of the Brooklyn, Ysterplaat and Rugby Residents’ Association (BYRRA), said this donation will ensure food for more families.

“The soup kitchen here in Brooklyn feeds hundreds of people and we were really struggling to make ends meet and to provide food for all of them. During the Covid19 pandemic, many people have lost their jobs and are without an income, which lowers the means to be able to provide for their families. We have provided relief to many struggling families and wish we can cater for everyone. This donation from the

mayor is deeply appreciated and we will make sure that we use the equipment and ingredients to help more residents,” Vogel said.

Plato has donated to nearly 150 soup kitchens across Cape Town as a result of the high demand for food in communities.

Ward 55 councillor, Fabian Ah-Sing, said BYRRA approached him to apply for

soup kitchen necessities.

“I’ve made contact with the mayor’s office to find out if we would be considered and they agreed. I assisted BYRRA with drafting the letter needed for the application and submitted and supported the application for BYRRA. I’m very happy and thankful to the mayor for providing that to ward 55,” Ah-Sing said.

Brackengate field hospital receives care packs The Shoprite Group, with its headquarters in Brackenfell, recently donated 330 care packs as part of their Spreading Warmth campaign to the newly completed Brackengate field hospital for distribution among the hospital’s Covid-19 patients.

The donation follows a similar one of 250 care packs to the provincial health department, which were distributed among patients making use of the isolation facilities in the province.

Each pack contains a blanket, soap, water-

less hand sanitiser, a face cloth, toothbrush and toothpaste to help make the often-difficult isolation process slightly easier.

Lunga Schoeman, corporate social investment (CSI) manager of the Shoprite Group, says the decision to support the Brackengate facility was an obvious one.

“Due to its proximity to our head office in Brackenfell we consider the Brackengate facility a neighbour, and as a good neighbour we just had to reach out and help. The only way we’ll overcome this crisis is by standing together across sectors and by acting as good neighbours.”

The field hospital, which is an intermediate facility forming part of the Hospital of Hope initiative, received its first patients in mid-July and can accommodate a total of 338 Covid-19 patients.

V If you want to join Shoprite in Spreading Warmth, contact 021 418 1580 or 072 613 3719 or email: harry@thehealthfoundation.org.za. Care packs can also be dropped off at The Health Foundation offices: 16th floor, Norton Rose House, 8 Riebeek Street, Cape Town and must be labelled with the words “Spreading Warmth” and the donor’s name.

The aftermath of the flood in Dunoon, leaving many destitute residents in dire straits.

Dunoon flood victims seek help KAILIN DANIELS @k10daniels Dunoon residents affected by the recent floods are pleading for assistance.

This, as most of their belongings have either been washed away by the rain or can no longer be used.

The residents, who are in dire straits, are in the process of cleaning up their flooded homes, hoping for help to repair the damage.

According to a resident in the area, Ziphozakhe Vena, rebuilding their shacks will be costly and finances are low during the Covid-19 pandemic.

“The floods have destroyed our homes and most of our belongings. The cold and

wetness of the floods have made many of us sick and possibly even made it easier to contract Covid-19. I have a family of six and being without a roof over our heads has been terrifying. This is also not the first time something like this happened to my family. Our house had been flooded before and the City of Cape Town provided relief and assisted where they could. We ask anyone to please assist if they can,” Vena said.

A post on Facebook asking for assistance said that the residents are in desperate need of children’s clothing, bedding, blankets and non-perishable food.

The drop-off point for any donations is at Spar in Parklands and 29 Dulwich Crescent, Parklands North.

E-books help children with emotions CARINA ROUX

E

veryone has been affected by the Covid19 pandemic in one way or another.

For psychologist Garth Newman from Brackenfell Psychology who has a special interest in working with children and adolescents, one change was adapting his practice to offer online therapy.

But it was another idea born in lockdown, he says, the results of which were “simply astounding”.

In May Newman introduced a free and shareable e-book, Super 3 and the Scary Invisible Monster, on Facebook to help parents and caregivers explain Covid-19 and the lockdown to children.

Newman says the idea originated mainly from his practice. “Working with children I could tell their anxiety was through the roof. Not being able to do play therapy with them due to lockdown, I decided to try and reach them in another way.”

He and his wife, Yumna Sadan, brainstormed and the ‘‘Super 3’’ came to life with illustrations done by Sadan.

The story is based on three friends whose favourite game is playing superheroes. The friends hear their school must close because of ‘‘a giant monster called Coronavirus, secret identity Covid-19, attacking the entire world.”

They learn how the virus spread by invisible droplets and how it can be prevented.

They experience different emotions – “sadness and frustration that turn to anger”. Ultimately, they reimagine their superpowers to concentrate on what they could do rather than what they couldn’t. Capes are removed

“as real superheroes wear masks instead”.

Newman says they received a phenomenal response to the first book which has reached thousands within the first two days on Facebook.

“We knew a second would be on the cards soon.”

The sequel, Super 3 and the Worry Worm, was released on 26 May ‘‘hoping it will help parents and children deal with the scary and inevitable return to school, and anxiety in general.’’

Soon after this Newman was approached

by Dr Anuscha Lachman, a child psychiatrist who shared the books with her colleagues in America. “One of them, a professor at Yale, offered to translate it into Spanish.

At about the same time we were approached by an organisation called Shine Literacy, who asked to print copies of the second book to distribute as part of a resource pack to Grade 2s and 3s across seven schools.”

Claudia Stanfield from Shine Literacy says the book was chosen because it addresses the stresses children face as they return to school. “During these times children are faced with overwhelming uncertainty because they have been exposed to little snippets of this harsh, new reality. The key to reducing this anxiety is being able to provide them with reassurance that they will be okay. The Super 3 and their journey does exactly that.”

The “Worry Worm” has also been translated into Zulu by iThemba Projects in Kwazulu-Natal and Newman says they’ve recently been asked about a possible Portuguese version.

On 19 June Newman completed the trilogy

Historic song remade THABANG KUAHO @thab_journo Following the English Rugby Union’s consideration to ban the song “Swing Low Sweet Chariot” from future games, two Cape Town musicians have taken to the recording studio to record a new version of the 1909 The Fisk Jubilee Singers classic from the Frisk University in the UK. Although there are many theories about what the song actually means, many believe it is connected to slavery; a reason the song is under review.

Maritza Truter and Bianca Solomons learnt of the union’s review of the song and, because they believed the song was about going to heaven, they decided to record a remake.

“The lyrics are just so powerful. In rugby terms our interpretation is the chariot is the ball being carried over the try line,” 21-year-old Truter says.

Solomons says the song is about unity

and she does not see any reason why it should be banned.

Remaking a song like this can be difficult, especially considering the fact that many consider it a classic, but the duo made it look like a walk in the park.

“We took the song and made it our own, keeping true to the feel and emotion.

“We changed the melody a bit and incorporated harmonies.”

They say banning the song would mean the struggles black slaves went through would be lost.

“Even if the song is being used in a different way, there are many black rugby players and the song thus means a lot to them.”

The recording of the song is expected to be finished by next week and will be released digitally on platforms like Google Play Music, Spotify and iTunes.

They are also busy planning the shooting of the music video.

Proceeds from the sale will be donated to different children’s homes.

Shine Literacy printed a thousand copies of Super 3 and the Worry Worm by Garth Newman and Yumna Sadan and distributed them to seven schools. when he shared Super 3 and the Gloomy Cloud which deals with feelings of loss and sadness. He says he thinks the reason for the book’s success is mostly good timing and the clear need for something to help children navigate these uncertain times.

“We are still surprised by the reaction.

Every time we see our stories being shared,

we feel extremely proud that we’ve been able to make a difference in some way.”

But it is not the end yet. Newman says they are in the process of writing a fourth part to the Super 3 series.

“We’ve also written a children’s chapter book which we plan to self-publish in the next few months.”

Curro-leerder tree op in musiekblyspel ESMÉ ERASMUS @erasmusesme

’n

Skoolmeisie van die Onafhanklike Skool Curro in Durbanville is eersdaags te sien saam met die land se topsangers in die musiekblyspel Van Broadway na Birdstraat, wat vanaf volgende week vir 10 dae aanlyn vertoon word.

Die talentvolle Mia Dippenaar (15), ’n gr. 9-leerder wat Broadway toe mik, speel verskeie rolle in die musiekblyspel.

Dié musiekblyspel, wat vroeër by die Toyota US Woordfees opgevoer is, sou vanjaar landwyd toer, maar dit is afgestel weens die Covid-19-pandemie. ’n Opname van dié produksie word nou van 1 tot 10 Augustus aanlyn vertoon.

Mia tree op saam met vyf van die land se beste professionele sangers en musiekbly-spelsterre, Corlea Botha, Timothy Moloi, Lynelle Kenned, André Terblanché en Germandt Geldenhuys. Hulle tree

op in gunstelingliedjies van 27 verskillende Broadway-musiekblyspele – van Cabaret, Les Misérables en Anything Goes tot Hamilton, Hairspray en Little Shop of Horrors.

Nog ’n leerder van Curro Durbanville, Gheran Hattingh, ’n matriekseun, is ook onder die 22 Curro Create-leerders wat in die musiekblyspel optree. Hulle is gekies uit meer as 360 leerders landwyd wat aan oudisies deelgeneem het.

Hoogtepunte in Mia se loopbaan tot dusver is die rolle wat sy gespeel het as Louisa, een van die kinders in The Sound of Music en Duffy in Annie, wat albei in Artscape opgevoer is. In skoolproduksies het sy die rolle van Annie in die gelyknamige musiekbly-spel gespeel, asook in Curro se Currage-produksie in 2018 ter viering van die Curro-groep se 20ste bestaansjaar. Dié musiekblyspel word deur Curro Create en Wordsmith’s Theatre Factory aangebied.

OPE BRIEF OOR GRONDBESETTINGS

Beste inwoners Ek het aan president Cyril Ramaphosa geskryf om te vra vir n dringende vergadering van die drie regeringsfere oor die nasionale krisis van grondbesettings.

Alhoewel die nasionale regulasies oor die inperking uitsettings verbied, word alle munisipaliteite verplig om openbare grond teen besetting te beskerm. Op Dinsdag 14 Julie, byvoorbeeld, was daar agt afsonderlike pogings tot grondbesetting regoor die stad.

Die Stad doen alles volgens ons bevoegdheid om die oorweldigende aantal pogings tot onwettige grondbesetting te hanteer: Meer as 357 hektaar private en openbare grond is sedert die begin van 2018 in Kaapstad beset (dis soveel soos 200 sokkervelde).

Meer as 1 100 anti-grondbesettingsoperasies is tussen Januarie 2019 en die middel van Junie 2020 uitgevoer.

2020 25 671 onwettige strukture wat besig was om opgerig te word verwyder. betrokke by meer as 230 hofgedinge wat grondbesetting betref.

Die geleentheidskoste van grondbesettings is Om net n paar voorbeelde te noem: Verlies aan grond vir toekomstige ontwikkeling van behuising, basiese dienste, skole en gemeenskapsfasiliteite.

Vertragings wat betref noodsaaklike behuisings- en infrastruktuurprojekte as gevolg van besetting van hierdie eiendomme.

Pogings om die behuisingslys te omseil of onwettige okkupasie van nuutgeboude eenhede ten koste van inwoners wat al lank daarvoor wag.

Besoedeling van waterstelsels as gevolg van onbeheerde groei Verlies van investerings- of ekonomiese potensiaal as gevolg van die besetting van private grond.

Besetting van private grond waar die Stad dan nie dienste kan lewer nie.

Besetting van grond wat gevaarlik is vir menslike bewoning as gevolg van oorstromings, gebrek aan toegang en stabiliteit van geboue.

Die Stad doen alles moontlik om onwettige grondbesetting te voorkom direk in die pad van n waterpypleiding van R162 miljoen na Khayelitsha.

Die pypleiding het ten doel om die waterdruk vir 11 000 inwoners van Enkanini te verhoog en om watervoorsiening aan die hele Khayelitsha te verseker. Nuwe behuisingsontwikkeling sal ook op hierdie water- en sanitasie-infrastruktuur staatmaak.

Die Stad het reeds 1,4 km van hierdie 6 km-pypleiding in Baden Powellrylaan tussen Faure en Khayelitsha gelê. Meer as R50 miljoen van die projekbegroting is al bestee, en ons vorder goed om die werk binne 12 tot 18 maande te voltooi.

Maar om dit te bereik is dit noodsaaklik om grondbesetting op hierdie roete te verhoed.

Vir die inwoners van Khayelitsha se onthalwe kan ons nie toelaat dat hierdie projek misluk nie, en hulle kan verseker wees dat dit ook vir die Stad n hoë prioriteit is.

Duisende wetsgehoorsame inwoners gaan in stilte gebuk onder die ernstige impak van grondbesetting as gevolg van die onwettige optrede van n relatiewe klein groepie mense wat grond onwettig beset.

Wees gerus dat die Stad julle beste belange op die hart dra.

Kontak die volgende nommer om grondbesetting aan te meld: 021 480 7700

TYGERBURGER 19

Club rugby season cancelled W

hile SA Rugby announced that professional rugby teams are to return to non-contact training from Monday 20 July, amateur rugby activities have been cancelled for the year.

According to an SA Rugby statement on Friday 17 July, the confirmation came after several weeks of preparation and consultation with government and all provincial unions to ensure compliance with regulation and to minimise the risk of Covid-19 infection.

This means that eight professional teams will resume training with a view to competing in domestic competitions that are being modelled by SA Rugby.

“This is an important first step back to playing, and we have taken it carefully to ensure full compliance and having thoroughly interrogated the regulations with government,” said Jurie Roux, SA Rugby CEO. “Contact training will not be permitted for the moment, but the players will be allowed back onto the field with a rugby ball and back into the gym – while observing strict protocols in both areas – which comes as a

great relief to the sport.”

Roux said that all players and management teams were screened before Monday’s return and that training venues had been prepared to conform to the new protocols.

Roux added that the only teams expected to appear in 2020 were the eight professional teams and those that fielded u.21 teams, which then meant all other competitions, which included all club rugby activity were cancelled.

“The risk associated with a mass return to train and play has been highlighted by government and the timelines and practicalities are such that it is unrealistic that there will be a general return to play this year,” said Roux.

“Therefore the members of the CovCom (the standing committee of member unions and experts which has been managing rugby’s response to the pandemic), opted to formally confirm that the only rugby to take place under their jurisdiction this year would feature the eight senior teams.”

Roux added that schools’ rugby did not fall under SA Rugby’s jurisdiction and any deci-

sions in that regard would be handled by the department of basic education.

Earlier this month, TygerBurger reported WP Amateur Rugby manager, Danny Jones, had still harboured hope that amateur rugby could still resume activities within the calendar year (“Clubs hope for quick return”, TygerBurger, 8 July).

“There was a tremendous amount of good news for the sport sector this week as we saw the minister of sport approving the return to training for some sport codes,” Jones mentioned in a letter on WP Club Rugby’s website last week.

Jones had reiterated that the approvals, and expectant return, were dependent on SA Rugby’s decision.

While a return to the playing fields have been put on hold until further notice, Jones mentioned that clubs were informed of the latest ratification of ventures put forward by the Western Province Rugby Football Union (WPRFU) as well as ongoing coaching courses, which have been conducted online.

“Our WP Rugby 2.5 coaching course now goes into its final week. This past week fo-

Eersterivier United gee kos op Mandeladag AVRIL FILLIES Die sokkerklub Eersterivier United het in samewerking met Pick n Pay Something Nice in Tuscany Glen kos aan die inwoners van Kleinvlei en voor die winkel as deel van hul bydrae tot Mandeladag op Saterdag 18 Julie uitgedeel. ’n Bestuurslid van die klub het ’n behoefte gehad om iets vir die Kleinvlei-gemeenskap te doen en sy begeerte om kos in die

gemeenskap uit te deel het toevallig met Mandeladag saamgeval.

Roderick Cupido, bestuurder van Pick n Pay Something Nice en ook ’n bestuurslid van die klub, het dié weldoener se hande gevat en die kos voorsien. “’n Bestuurslid en ek en die vroue van Teen Challenge House of Hope en Casswell Julies van Cornerstone-jeugklub het aan die werk gespring en die pot hoender-akni aan die publiek voor die winkel en in die

informele nedersetting Spandau uitgedeel.

“Musiek is deur Radio Eersterivier verskaf terwyl die kos uitgedeel is. Vir die 67 minute wou ons ’n verskil maak, want die meeste van die inwoners in Kleinvlei en die omgewing is werkloos weens Covid19,” het Bradley Williams, voorsitter van die sokkerklub, gesê.

Nadat die klub gesien het wat die ander instansies weekliks doen, het hulle besluit om die uitdeel van kos ’n maandelikse in-

cussed on skills with Stormers manager Chippie Solomons. This session was particularly helpful for the coaches as Chippie brings a wealth of experience to the table.

He highlighted that the role of the manager has changed tremendously over the past few years and is much greater than simple logistics. And although the manager plays an integral part in player welfare, there should be a clear understanding between coach and manager on role definition, as strictly speaking the manager would have very little to do with matters such as coaching and team selection.

We will shortly be hosting our online media, marketing and sponsorship workshops.

We’ve been running this course for several years now. This is a good time to look at making sure your websites and social media platforms are up and running.

Once again we remind our administrators, coaches, players and fans to adhere to the Covid-19 regulations and to practise these health and safety protocols at all times.”

stelling te maak en as daar ander sakeondernemings in die gemeenskap is wat betrokke wil raak, kan hulle hom skakel.

“Ons sal seker maak dat enige skenking by die mense uitkom wat weekliks kos in Kleinvlei uitdeel.

“Ek wil net weer beklemtoon dat daar regtig groot nood in ons gemeenskap is en enige bydrae sal verwelkom word. As ons almal saam hande vat, kan ons in die behoeftes in ons gemeenskap probeer voorsien. Ons moet onthou Madiba het gesê dat sport die vermoë het om ’n verskil in mense se lewens te maak.” Belangstellendes kan 076 603 3832 skakel.

KILLARNEY TO SPARK BACK INTO ACTION: BUT NO SPECTATORS YET

Motorsport gets go ahead C

ompetitive motorsport activity at Killarney International Raceway will resume soon after national governing body Motorsport South Africa (MSA) confirmed the government’s green light for the resumption of local motorsport on Thursday 16 July.

However, the return to competition is subject to a few revised regulations, which include the absence of spectators and within strict adherence to existing and future lock-

down regulations.

“We are very thankful to the department (of sport and recreation) and the minister (Nathi Mthethwa) for the constructive way in which they engaged with us to find solutions and for allowing us to restart motor racing,” says MSA chair, Anton Roux. MSA CEO, Adrian Scholtz, adds that the Covid-19 pandemic and resultant lockdown have placed additional obligations on member organisations, but that they have been preparing

V8 Masters at Killarney International Raceway before the national lockdown took effect.PHOTO: HEINRICH SAUER

for an expected restart.

Western Province Motor Club, welcomed the opening of motorsport venues, which include Killarney. “The conditions imposed include the compulsory wearing of face masks at all times, strict cleaning protocols, temperature screening of all competitors and crew attending, and the presence of a Covid-19 compliance officer at events. Bearing in mind that the Covid-19 pandemic is by no means over and that the risk of infection is

still high, officials at Killarney will be working in collaboration with MSA and the City of Cape Town to obtain further clarity on the necessary safety protocols. In the meantime, we will also be working with MSA to draw up a revised calendar of events at Killarney for the remainder of 2020, which we will publish as soon as it has been ratified by the necessary authorities. On a less formal note, we are as excited as racing enthusiasts,” read a statement issued last week.

The Rotax Max Challenge had to be halted shortly before the Covid-19 lockdown stopped all sports activity.
