JERUSALEMA: DANS DEEL VAN SENIORFASE LESPLAN

ie Laerskool De Kuilen se gr. 7-leerders wat dans neem as deel van die vak skeppende kunste het Vrydag 4 September saam met van die skool se onderwysers die Jerusalema-dans op die skool se rugbyveld uitgevoer.

Hoewel die roetine op video opgeneem is, was dit nie net nog ’n “Jerusalema-dansuitdaging’’ nie.

Michelle Petersen, vakadviseur vir skeppende kunste by die onderwysdepartement

our Join us for

se Metro Oos-streek, het gereël dat die Kuilies se dansroetine op video vasgelê word.

Petersen sê die Jerusalema-dans tesame met ander danspassies maak deel uit van die lesse wat vir die derde kwartaal onderrig moet word vir die seniorfase- leerders in die provinsie. “Dit sal ook gebruik word as deel van hul assessering,” sê Petersen.

Die lesse is saamgestel deur die skeppende kunste- departement van die Metro Oosstreek en Megan de Goede, dansonderwyser by beide die Laerskool en Hoërskool De Kuilen.

De Goede het aangebied om die departement te help met die ontwikkeling van die lesplanne vir gr. 7-dans.

Sy sê hulle wil graag die derde kwartaal afsluit met ’n “flashmob”-dansroetine wat dan ook kan dien as assessering vir die leerders. Met die gewildheid van die Jerusalema dans-uitdaging wat soos ’n veldbrand in die kuberruim versprei, het hulle besluit dit is die ideale keuse wat die leerders ook sal geniet om uit te voer.

De Goede het ’n paar ekstra passies van die praktiese danse wat deur die loop van

die kwartaal behandel word, ingewerk by die Jerusalema-passies om die finale asseseringsroetine daar te stel. Vir die videoopname het hulle besluit dit sal goed wees om nog van die skool se dansers en onderwysers betrokke te kry. Twee weke lank het almal die roetine ingeoefen voor die “flashmob” Vrydagmiddag op die rugbyveld uitgevoer en opgeneem is.

Die video-opname word nou deel van die onderwysdepartement se lesplan waar dit sal dien as riglyn vir die assessering van leerders, sê De Goede.

Gallery garden launch postponed to October The community event to launch the new courtyard garden at Rust-en-Vrede in Durbanville has been postponed to Saturday 10 October.

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

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

Proppie het diep spore in Durbanville getrap ESMÉ ERASMUS

’n

Bekende in die Durbanville-gemeenskap en in landboukringe is Saterdagaand ná ’n stryd teen kanker oor-

lede.

Pierre van Vuuren (82), alombekend as Proppie, was sy lewe lank by verskeie gemeenskapsorganisasies betrokke en was ’n kampvegter vir gemeenskapsake, asook veral vir die behoud van Afrikaans. Hy was bekend daarvoor dat hy nie gehuiwer het om hom oor sake uit te spreek nie.

Hy was onder meer jare lank lid van die Durbanville-landbouvereniging, die Durbanville-erfenisvereniging, asook die Durbanville-gemeenskapsforum en Die Manneklub.

Volgens Johannes Loubser, voorsitter van die Durbanville-landbouvereniging, was Van Vuuren lid van dié vereniging so lank as wat hy kan onthou, minstens 20 jaar ’n bestuurslid en het hy 11 jaar as voorsitter gedien. Hy was met sy afsterwe reeds jare lank ’n erelid van die vereniging.

“Hy het ’n groot rol in die landbougemeenskap gespeel, veral in die Durbanville-omgewing. Hy het nie ’n vergadering misgeloop nie en het met ons laaste vergadering in Maart nog reg langs my gesit,” het hy gesê.

Loubser het gesê hy was ’n matriekseun en voorsitter van die junior landbouvereniging van die Landbouskool Boland in 1985 toe hy Van Vuuren leer ken en hom as gasspreker na een van hul vergaderings genooi het. “Ek is baie hartseer oor sy heengaan.

Hy het nooit opgehou om aktief deel te neem en ’n bydrae te lewer nie. Hy het graag ons vergadering met gebed geopen en altyd iets gehad om te sê as dit kom by kwessies soos grondsake. Hy sal baie gemis word,” het hy gesê.

Denise Robinson, parlementslid, het aan TygerBurger gesê as voormalige raadslid en parlementslid het sy baie by Van Vuuren gaan kers opsteek.

“Sy kennis van die geskiedenis, die dorp en die landbou was verstommend. Ons het saam die Durbanville-erfenisvereniging gestig nadat die Durbanville 200-fees in 2006 ge-

“Ons het gevoel dat die karakter van die omgewing bewaar moet word voordat dit heeltemal verdwyn. Die Moederkerk en sy geskiedenis was vir hom baie belangrik en hy het die dankfees in die kerk ge­reël. Wat ’n ervaring – die koets en perde wat die burgemeester na die fees gebring het, die orreluitvoering en mense se ervarings van toentertyd!

“Pierre kon ’n mens lekker laat lag as hy begin staaltjies vertel. Ons as erfenisvereniging wou nog ‘Stoepstories’ vanjaar gereël het, maar toe kom Covid-19 en moes ons al ons planne opsysit. Pierre van Vuuren het diep spore in ons gemeenskap getrap en ons bring hulde aan hom vir sy deelname en insette.

“Pierre was ’n reguit mens en het gehou by sy beginsels. Rus sag, Pierre – jy sal voortleef in ons gedagtes,” het sy gesê.

Van Vuuren is in Kaapstad gebore en het in Bellville en Pretoria grootgeword. Hy het

aan die Hoërskool Bellville gematrikuleer.

Hy het daarna ’n BSc-graad aan die Universiteit Stellenbosch en later ’n MSc-graad in weiding en graangewasse behaal.

Sy bynaam, Proppie, dateer uit ontgroening tydens sy eerste jaar.

Van Vuuren was lank verbonde aan die universiteit se landboufakulteit, waar hy as navorser proewe op plase uitgevoer het. Hy het daarna by Fedmis en Kynoch gewerk, en as hooflandboukundige in die Wes-Kaap by Kynoch afgetree.

Van Vuuren en sy vrou, Esmé, het saam skoolgegaan, maar eers later begin uitgaan toe hulle by ’n Jool-optog herontmoet het.

Hulle sou op 6 Oktober 58 jaar getroud gewees het. Hulle het altesame 53 jaar in Durbanville gebly, waarvan die afgelope sewe jaar in die La Gratitude-aftreeoord.

Hulle het vier dogters, Rentia Nel van Wolseley, Aldia Anker van Durbanville, Naudene Nel van Worcester en Esmé Smit van Citrusdal. ’n Gedenkdiens word Saterdag om 10:30 in die NG kerk Durbanville gehou.

Jimmy enjoys walks and sunbathing, and is partial to a tasty biscuit or two.

The Fisantekraal Animal Welfare (FAW) has several dogs up for adoption, of which six that are still remaining at the shelter in Melkbosstrand.

Their aim is to get these six dogs out of the shelter and into foster care or forever homes in the next couple of months, says Jenni Davies, spokesperson for FAW. “Mamacita is a smaller dog and she would like a home where she gets tummy rubs galore as they are her favourite thing in the whole world.

“She may be a senior dog at eight years old, but she is alert and playful. She is ideal for a home which can only have one dog. If she has a dog friend, she prefers males. She is alert and protective,” Davies says.

Jimmy is a goofy guy who gets on with everyone and doesn’t need much to keep him happy. He is a medium-sized mixedbreed dog of around five years of age, with medium energy levels.

Billy is a medium-sized mixed breed dog of around seven years of age. He has been waiting for a home since 2014.

“Madame thrives on attention and really is a super dog, even if she isn’t very ‘exotic’ looking. She is eight or nine years old and has just had a full vet check, at which she was pronounced in excellent health. Madame is protective, low-maintenance, and small-medium size,” Davies says. Home checks apply. An adoption fee of R600 covers vaccination and deworming up to date, micro-chipping, sterilization, and a vet check.

Fostering, however, is free.

Hospice founder credited NIELEN DE KLERK @nielendk

T

here aren’t many people as innovative and passionate about their jobs as Sue van der Linde.

In fact, it’s almost a full-time job keeping up with the activities held at Iris House Children’s Hospice in Bellville, where she is the founder and chief.

And now she may even receive a bit of recognition for her hard work.

Van der Linde has been selected as a finalist in the 6th annual Santam Women of the Future Awards.

The awards, presented in partnership with Fairlady and TrueLove, aim to celebrate female entrepreneurs in South Africa.

Van der Linde is one of three social entrepreneur finalists and the only one from the Western Cape.

“Being recognised for my contributions to the special needs sector is a great honour,” Van der Linde says.

“As a finalist, I am elated to be among a group of professionals who are doing such amazing work in their fields.”

Iris House Children’s Hospice provides free respite care from their premises in Stikland.

What started in 2011 as an organisation with 12 children receiving communitybased respite care has now become an organisation serving 526 children across Cape Town.

Not only do Iris House workers serve in around 46 communities, but they also offer equine therapy, adaptive surfing and a doggy daycare protective workshop for their high functioning adults. They also offer family days out, support groups, overnight care, physiotherapy and sibling events.

They have a sustainable vegetable garden and often donate parcels to their neediest families, a therapy dog she trained herself, a sensory room and garden.

Their fundraisers are no less diverse. One of the most recent was a series of online cooking showcases, an attempt to regain a bit of their funds during the worst of the

Sue van der Linde, head and founder of Iris House Children’s Hospice, alongside Alfred the therapy dog. lockdown levels.

Yet nothing of this would have existed if Van der Linde didn’t volunteer for a hospice herself.

She was living with her family in the UK, where she was born, when she started working part-time at Julia’s House Children’s Hospice in Dorset.

Up to that point Van der Linde had worked for Edcon in South Africa in corporate buying, helped her husband with his internet marketing business, owned a restaurant and an interior design business.

The last thing on her mind was starting a hospice back in South Africa.

Her volunteer work changed her life.

“Caring for life-limited and life-threatened special needs children was something I knew nothing about whatsoever, but with fantastic training from Julia’s House coupled with a newfound passion for special

needs children, I soon found my feet and found the role not only amazingly fulfilling, but also it created a 360-degree-shift in my thinking.”

She started valuing things she took for granted before – like her family, her husband Ferdi, and sons, Saul and Lance.

“I felt extremely humbled by these amazing children and their parents. Life had moved me in a new, rewarding and wonderful direction.”

She started doing night classes and obtained a qualification in social care.

After living in the UK for eight years, and volunteering for five of those years, the Van der Linde family returned to South Africa, where Sue knew she was going to use her skills for change.

Iris House Children’s Hospice opened its doors in 2011.

“My first point of call was the then Premier of the Western Cape, Helen Zille, who understood the respite care model. She then ensured that our first ‘big’ funding amount of R2.4 million was received from the provincial social development department. We are now a R4-million-business and still growing with no sign of slowing down any time soon.”

Most of their funding is still received from government, as well as several corporate partnerships.

Van der Linde’s next big challenge is preparing young children, diagnosed with autism, to be able to attend school.

“Without this intervention, many children just don’t get into schools as their behaviour is deemed ‘uncontrollable’ by the school system.”

She hopes to open an autism centre soon.

She admits to being a bit of a workaholic but says she’s been working consciously to correct the balance.

“I attend yoga twice a week and ensure that I have some weekends free for family time and just relaxing. Studying and practising mindfulness has assisted me in this regard.”

Jazz masterclasses to precede online festival Talented young musicians from across the Western Cape submitted online audition videos for this year’s edition of the Artscape Youth Jazz Festival, scheduled to take place in virtual format in October.

Artscape announced online jazz masterclasses will be opened to all who auditioned for the festival.

The festival’s musical director, Amanda Tiffin, says: “Everyone who auditioned stood out in terms of their playing ability, their energy and style.

“The level of playing and performance was outstanding, so it was very difficult to choose only a few.”

The masterclasses are scheduled to take place online between Monday 14 and Sat-

urday 19 September.

It will comprise a class for each instrument given by industry professionals, plus several workshops about the business of music.

Those selected for the performance recordings in October will also participate in song-writing sessions, rehearsals and the final performance.

They will be mentored through this process by Tiffin and a team of jazz industry professionals.

The Artscape Youth Jazz Festival was launched in 2003 with the aim of democratising the arts in South Africa.

Artscape CEO, Marlene le Roux, says: “The focus of the programme has re-

mained dedicated to providing skills development within the Jazz genre. This enables young Jazz musicians to take the experience forward into their careers and educate others in the process.”

Because of the Covid-19 pandemic, instead of a live audition, aspiring participants were required to submit an audition video via online platforms.

Participants from the northern suburbs who were selected to perform are: Kara Snethlage (24, guitarist) from Sunningdale, Joshua Barnes (24, vocalist) from Milnerton, Lerato Skhosana (23, pianist) from Table View and Manasse Kitanda (24, guitarist) from Cravenby.

Free training for unemployed The Parow-based non-profit organisation (NPO) YoungPeople@Work offers free online training to unemployed youth.

The NPO is a youth development agency which empowers unemployed youth to access the job market.

Recently it developed an innovative method to train young people using WhatsApp and a smartphone, says Shirley de Jongh, operations manager.

De Jongh says participants can receive their lectures in the comfort of their home and revise PowerPoint slides as many times as they want.

The NPO offers several free sessions including introduction to computers, MS Windows, computer maintenance, basic office administration skills, professional job-seeking skills, effective money management as well as effective customer relations and a course on how to take charge of your own life.

Certificates are available on request.

Booklet can save lives With the increase of gender based violence and domestic violence instances in South Africa, the Western Cape department of community safety has launched a detailed booklet on how to obtain protection orders.

Provincial community safety minister Albert Fritz says the “Guide for Victims of Domestic Abuse” booklet provides useful information on how to obtain a protection order. “I encourage residents to share this information far and wide to ensure that it reaches those who may need it most,” says Fritz.

The booklet defines a domestic relationship and domestic violence; outlining the rights of a victim and the responsibilities of police, defining a protection order and how to obtain it; and providing useful contact details on how to access domestic violence, gender based violence and femicide related services.

“Victims of DV and GBV should firstly report the incident to their local police station. The victim must then apply for a protection order at their local magistrate’s court. In doing so, the victim in the application for a protection order becomes the applicant. The alleged perpetrator in the application becomes the respondent. It should be noted that an interim protection order can also be issued at any time of the day or night for protection. Alternatively, if the victim does not have a legal representative, the clerk of the court is obliged by law to inform the victim of relief or remedies available in terms of the Domestic Violence Act,” says Fritz.

A protection order is issued by a court and prohibits the respondent from: . enlisting the help of another person to commit any such act; . entering a residence shared by a complainant and the respondent or a specified part of the shared residence or the victims place of employment or where the victim resides; . committing any other act as specified in the protection order including an order to seize any firearms or dangerous weapon from the respondent; or . financially threatening the victim by making monetary relief available to the victim.

“You can apply for a protection order if you are a victim of domestic violence, this includes children. If the victim is too young, a parent or guardian, or any person acting on behalf of someone who is responsible for them, may apply with their permission for a protection order,” says Fritz. “In the event that the respondent disobeys the protection order, the applicant should contact the police. Thereafter a statement will be taken from him/ her; the police will be provided with a warrant of arrest which the complainant received together with the protection order and, if the victim is in immediate danger, the respondent will be arrested, otherwise he/she will be given a notice to appear in court.”

Help a young boy to hear RACINE EDWARDES

T

Abdud Dayyaan Abrahams is in need of a cochlear implant and his mother, Mishkaah, is raising the funds for it.

he prospect of a nine-year-old boy gaining the ability to hear for the first time in his life is nearing the realm of high likelihood as his mother continues her efforts to raise funds for a life-changing medical device.

Abdud Dayyaan Abrahams, who lives in Mitchell’s Plain, is a learner at the Carel du Toit Centre for Hearing Impaired Children in Parow.

He was born with hearing loss and at the age of four, received his first cochlear implant in his right ear, but continued to use a hearing aid in the left, his mother, Mishkaah Abrahams, explains.

“I flew to Jo’burg and Durban six years ago for funds, I had functions (to raise the money), and I bought the hearing aid through the school,” she adds.

But, as Mishkaah wrote on a Back-a-Buddy page, “Despite using the most powerful hearing aids available, over time we have seen that the left ear’s benefit from the hearing aid diminished as his hearing loss in the left ear became worse.”

Since discovering that hearing aids were not the right fit for her son, she began campaigning to raise funds for a cochlear implant in his left ear.

The hopeful mother says the implant’s overall costs are in the range of R85 000, which will cover more than just the device.

“It is a new cochlear implant launching

soon; it’s called a Nucleus Kanso 2 Sound Processor. He will be one of the first ones to have it, and it’s very expensive to maintain it.”

But she believes the procedure will be extremely beneficial for him, and so she continues to host functions and sell homecooked meals to the community to garner the support they need.

The provincial health department recently released a statement about the positive outcomes of a cochlear implant for a twoyear-old girl. She received the device which was installed in June this year.

Jennifer Perold, audiologist and coordinator of the Cochlear Implant Unit at Tygerberg Hospital, said since the surgery it has been a delight to watch Sage Cloete (2) growing in confidence and in her awareness of new sounds in her environment.

Mishkaah is confident that Abdud Dayyaan’s implant will have the same results.

She also hopes to find a generous donor to assist her with the future maintenance of the implant.

She says Abdud Dayyaan is excited to receive a new implant. She describes him on her Back-a-Buddy page as “a friendly and funny boy who enjoys playing, swimming and construction activities. He has a gentle and loving nature and a sparkle of mischief is always present in his brown eyes”.

Series brings hope from the flats SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS @samantha_lee121 The much loved hit local series Melody, shot and produced on the Cape Flats, will be around for another year.

Currently being broadcasted on SABC 2 every Tuesday evening at 19:30, the series has viewers glued to their screens since April, especially those who are able to relate to the story, by identifying with the drama.

The authentic human adventure involves a young coloured woman and her struggle against social injustices with which many South Africans wrestle daily.

Series producer Theo Davids says they wanted to create a series that would accurately reflect the lives of coloured people.

“South African television does not really reflect the lives of coloured people in the way that we know our lives to be. During the pre-democracy years we were always portrayed as flower sellers, gangsters, nannies or coons. When there were films about coloured people, there was always a white saviour. After 1994 there were mostly “rainbow” stories with coloured, whites, blacks and Indians and even in these stories we always had a stereotypical role like the coloured gangster or the coloured nanny,” he says.

What makes Melody different is how it tells these stories.

“With Melody I just wanted to change this perspective and tell positive stories about coloured people. I want to tell stories where our people can be role models and an inspiration to others. These stories depict a slice of life but not to a point where we glorify negative things. We also need to celebrate the success stories that come out of our communities.”

The series is filmed in and around the Cape Flats, with most of it being filmed in Athlone.

The cast include actors from Mitchell’s Plain, Athlone, Bishop Lavis and other areas on the Cape Flats.

“All locations like houses, schools and churches that we used for filming (are) in the Athlone area. Through the filming of Melody, we empowered about 4500 people from the local communities. These people were involved through catering for the cast and crew, to being extras on set to having their homes used as set locations.

It was a true collaboration between the Athlone community and the film industry and SABC,” he says.

But Davids says this series should not be stereotyped as “typical brown culture”, but rather a wakeup call to have empathy.

Melody is meant to be a story of hope and shows especially young people in similar circumstances, that it is okay to dream and aspire for more, in order to change their circumstances for the better.

“Your circumstances or the environment in which you find yourself do not determine who or what you are or what you can become. You can become a success,” he says.

Davids says it will be easy for anyone to relate to the series because it centres around family.

“In our modern society, the family as a unit has lost its value and families have disintegrated because of the times we are living in. People are so occupied with material wealth, success and status that they often put family time and values on the back burner. This has caused the very core of society, the family unit, to lose its importance and disintegrate. With Melody we went right back to one of the most basic values: A family that stays and works together, can be successful,” says Davids.

The scripts are not based on any one individual experience or life story.

“It is a merging of many stories of many people’s lives. We know these people and they have gone through these circumstances. We have reflected their stories in Melody and if we hold up the Melody mirror to ourselves, we will, to a greater or lesser extent, be able to identify with what the characters are going through. We can thus go on their journey with them. We celebrate with them. We cry with them. We get angry with them,” says Davids.

Davids says the story will take a few twists and turns over the next few episodes with a surprise promised toward the end.

With the series taking off, Davids says the cast The cast of hit

and crew are excited at its success.

“Nobody writes a story without wanting it to be successful so we were quietly optimistic but we did not expect this measure of positive response from not only South Africa, but from all over the world.

This just shows that there is a deep need for stories like this where people can identify with the issues and struggles of the characters,” says Davids.

“It is not just about race or colour but people from all creeds and cultures can identify with this story. There are universal messages in the story. The story addresses universal issues such as love, care, poverty, struggles and it shows how resilient the human spirit is. It shows that there is always hope.”

SABC is also expected to soon reveal some exciting news around the series, says Davids, not hinting at any further details.

Friedl, a man on a mission CARINA ROUX

V

redelust resident Friedl Gertse is a man on a mission. He believes in life one has a choice to turn bad situations into opportunity, and “to surround yourself with people who are going to empower and uplift you”.

Born and bred in Kuils River, Gertse attended De Kuilen Primary and Sarepta Secondary schools and now manages the digital marketing for a private distance learning college.

But it is his non-profit organisation, Greater Purpose Outreach (GPO), that started as an idea in 2019, but materialised just before the lockdown earlier this year, that really gets him excited.

He’s always felt a calling to help impoverished communities, especially the youth, but says a fear of failure prevented him from starting his outreach. A personal ordeal last year helped him to overcome this fear and the Covid-19 pandemic added to his belief to make the best of every opportunity, he says. “Today I live every day like it’s my last and I have no regrets.”

Gertse says the more he started speaking to people about his vision, the more he got referred to others who share the same vision and principles and the easier it becomes to help others.

He says GPO’s aim is to uplift the embattled youth of the Western Cape by focusing on the root causes of the problems they face. “We envisage becoming a game-changing force for social upliftment. Our mission is to provide the youth of impoverished communities in the Western Cape with the opportunities they need to thrive.

“Through our programmes, we are focused on removing children and youth from the vicious cycle of drugs, crime and gangsterism, by providing them with holistic support through mentorship, nutritional support, health and education, amongst others.”

GPO is still quite small, but already helping in three communities – Wellington, Manenberg and Eerste River.

In Manenberg Gertse and his partner

Friedl Gertse at a practise of the soccer club in Manenberg.

Magadien Wentzel established a soccer club called the Young Tornado Warriors where there are currently 35 juniors practising.

“Our vision with the soccer club is to compete in a league by next year, and to bring change through sport.” The hope is that soccer will keep the youth away from drugs and gangsterism.

In Wellington GPO started a small feeding scheme for about 30-40 children. A local church that currently has fellowships in a garage was assisted with donations of hand sanitizers and a laptop. GPO ran a mask campaign and donated around 80 masks to the children who didn’t have any to wear, says Gertse.

“We are busy setting up a tuckshop for a household in this community to generate additional income so that they can provide food to continue to run the feeding scheme.”

Gertse says 20 storybooks were donated to start a reading club for the children and GPO also donated some equipment to help an exprisoner to start his own barbershop.

Voertuig in Mabille Park gekaap CARINA ROUX Die Kuilsrivier-polisie het bevestig ’n voertuigkaping word ondersoek nadat ’n boodskap verlede week op Facebook uitgestuur is dat mense op die uitkyk moet wees vir die gesteelde voertuig.

Sers. Liezel Beukes, woordvoerder, sê ’n inwoner van Mabille Park het op Woensdag 2 September omstreeks 15:30 met haar tuiskoms gesien daar staan ’n blou Toyota voor haar huis geparkeer. Die vrou is deur vier mans genader van wie een ’n vuurwapen gehad het.

Hulle het haar gedreig en met haar wit Opel Corsa weggery. Die vrou is nie beseer nie en niemand is nog in hegtenis geneem nie, sê Beukes.

Die vrou se dogter het op Facebook geskryf haar ma het uit haar motor geklim om die hek voor hul huis oop te maak. Sy het gesê die mans wat uit die blou kar geklim het, het “basies reg voor die huis gestaan”. ’n Vuurwapen is teen haar ma se kop gedruk om haar te dwing om haar motorsleutels te oorhandig. Hulle het met Van Riebeeckweg langs in die rigting van Eersterivier gery. Die dogter het gesê haar ma se handsak met al haar kaarte en foon was nog in die kar. Sy het gevra mense moet op die uitkyk wees vir die Corsa met die registrasienommer CY 227580. Daar is ook ’n groen plakker van Knysna en ’n rooi plakker van Duitsland agter op die kar geplak.

in Eerste River with donations for her feeding scheme. ‘‘We also donated some storybooks as she also wants to begin an afterschool reading club in her community,” says Gertse. The establishment of mobile reading clubs is one of the goals Gertse has set for GPO. “I want to bring literacy back into the homes in impoverished communities by storytelling and fun learning activities. The reading clubs will focus on ages 3-10 in a safe environment. My idea is to distribute additional reading books to various crèches so they can have storytelling sessions.”

Gertse says his vision is to give children an equal opportunity to excel and reach their dreams. He also believes that those who benefit will oneday want to give back to their communities. “Then most importantly we begin changing mindsets within the community.”

V Donations in any form that could be helpful for the setting up of the tuckshop, feeding schemes, soccer/ sporting equipment or educational resources for early childhood development would be welcomed. Contact Gertse at friedlgg6@gmail.com or 071 756 7808.

Kwekery deur agt beroof Die polisie is op die spoor van agt rowers wat op Vrydag (4 September) op ’n kwekery in Brackenfell toegeslaan het.

Die rooftog het net ná oopmaaktyd omstreeks 09:00 by die kwekery op die Bottelarypad plaasgevind.

“Die rowers, wat almal gewapen was, het die perseel betree waar hulle die werknemers gedreig en op kontant aangedring het.

Juweliersware, selfone en skootrekenaars is afgevat,” sê kapt. Erica Crous, polisiewoordvoerder.

Almal op die perseel is toe in die kantoor toegesluit en die bende het in ’n silwer, oumodel Toyota Corolla in die rigting van Brackenfell-boulevard weggejaag.

Die waarde van die buit is tans onbekend.

Geen skote is afgevuur en niemand is in die voorval beseer nie, sê Crous.

Die kwekery-eienaar se seun het die voertuig agternagesit, maar verloor nadat dit in Brackenfell-boulevard regs gedraai het.

Die polisie en blitspatrollie kon nie die voertuig opspoor nie. ’n Ondersoek deur die Brackenfell-polisie duur voort. – Desirée Rorke

Polisie weet niks van ‘ontvoering’ BRENDEN RUITER @ruitervaniewind Die Mfuleni-polisie sê hulle is nie bewus van die ontvoering van ’n kind Sondag in Silversands nie.

TygerBurger het die polisie genader nadat iemand op Facebook ’n inskrywing gemaak het oor ’n kind wat deur onbekende mans gegryp en mee weggejaag is.

“Klein seun naby my huis in Silversands gegryp. Die voorval het naby die Laerskool Silversands gebeur. My man het die blou Jetta agternagesit, maar het hulle in Mfuleni verloor,” lui die inskrywing.

Die inskrywing het vinnige

reaksie ontlok en is binne minute 1 500 keer gedeel.

Ao. November Filander, polisiewoordvoerder, sê nie een van die twee skofte aan diens het ’n klagte van ’n ontvoering ontvang nie.

“Ons doen ’n beroep op lede van die publiek om nie ongegronde inligting op sosiale media te deel nie. As daar wel ’n ontvoering plaasgevind het, moet dit dadelik by die polisie aangemeld word, want hoe langer gewag word, hoe gevaarliker raak dit vir die ontvoerde,” sê Filander.

Pogings deur TygerBurger om kontak te maak met die persoon wat die inskrywing gemaak het, het misluk.

Lifeguard hopefuls put through their paces T

he City of Cape Town put lifeguard hopefuls to the test during a rigorous two-week assessment period of shortlisted lifeguard applicants.

The applicants had to undergo a series of fitness and competence tests to qualify as one of the 600 seasonal lifeguards responsible for drowning prevention at the City’s beaches and pools this summer.

“Lifeguards are preparing for an unpredictable summer with new safety and hygiene protocols in place. The City of Cape Town’s latest intake of swimming pool lifeguards were put through their paces to ensure they are prepared ahead of the upcoming school holidays and summer season. The City wants to ensure we have enough well-trained and qualified lifeguards on duty,” said Mayco member for community services and health, Zahid Badroodien.

For the last two weeks, the City’s recreation and parks department has tested the abilities of shortlisted candidates at Retreat indoor swimming pool.

Beach lifeguards will also be tested on their abilities in the surf, not only during the induction phase,

Lifeguard applicants put to the test at the Retreat indoor swimming pool. but randomly throughout their period of employment.

“By the very nature of their work, lifeguards put their own lives on the line to rescue others from drowning. We owe a debt of gratitude to our brave City lifeguards, who step forward and commit themselves to the process,” Badroodien said.

Mayco member for community services and health, Zahid Badroodien, together with Helen Jordaan and Ronel Viljoen at the Retreat indoor swimming pool.

Drowning prevention within the department is co-ordinated by a skilled team comprising 10 project work streams, to ensure that every aspect of safety is considered and provided for. Once appointed, seasonal lifeguards will commence duty from October to April or June 2021, depending on where they are placed.

They will have to be ready for adjusted standard operating and rescue procedures, as crowd patterns of locals and tourists in Cape Town during the festive season are unpredictable.

It is also likely the swimming pool capacities will be limited in order to meet social distancing and other national regulations.

“The City is committed to making a success of the 2020/’21 summer season, and is looking forward to offering safe swimming spaces regardless of the uncertainties that we currently face. We’re looking forward to a safe season and we are proud of the lifeguards who will be stationed at the City’s open swimming pools and 29 beaches across the coast,” Badroodien said.

‘Angels’ celebrate 15 years in the sky The well-known emergency medical services provider, Netcare 911, recently celebrated the 15th anniversary of its life-saving helicopter emergency medical service (Hems).

“Not only has Netcare 911 marked this milestone in its service to the community, but also that Hems, which is popularly known as the ‘Angels of Mercy’, has now flown more than 10 000 missions,” says David Stanton, head of clinical and education of Netcare 911.

“These achievements bring home to us the many critically injured or ill patients whose lives we helped to save, highlighting the immense contribution the service has made within our country over this time,” Stanton added.

Netcare 911 currently operates 24-hour Hems bases in Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal and the Western Cape. Its aircraft fleet includes Bell 407, Bell 222 and Bell 430 helicopters, all of which are fully configured to enable ICU level of care to all patients.

Stanton says that with a dedicated team of experienced pilots and emergency care practitioners, the Hems helicopters are deployed to reach the scene of an emergency in the shortest possible time to provide the highest level of prehospital emergency care to pa-

tients, thereby giving them the best possible chance at recovery.

These may include patients who have been seriously injured in road or other accidents, or who have had a life-threatening medical emergency such as a stroke or heart attack.

“Having Hems as an integral part of our nationwide emergency medical service means that we can swiftly reach patients in metropolitan and outlying areas, including the most remote locations. In cities, for example, traffic is often gridlocked and a helicopter can reach a critically injured patient much quicker than a response car or an ambulance to commence life-saving treatment.

Once patients are stabilised the helicopter can fly them to the most appropriate hospital very quickly for further specialised care,” explains Stanton.

In addition to being on standby for medical emergencies, the Hems air ambulances are also used to expedite the safe transfer of critically ill adults and infants between hospitals for specifically required treatment.

“Netcare 911’s ‘Angels of Mercy’ have proved to be a most valuable lifeline to patients in their time of greatest need over the past decade and a half. We look forward to being of service to South Africans for many more years to come,” concludes Stanton.

The Angels of Mercy that have flown more than 10 000 missions, celebrated its 15th anniversary of life-saving missions.

There are numerous trails to choose from when hiking in the Tygerberg Nature Reserve.

Reserve once again open to the public RICHARD ROBERTS @richardjohn_rj

W

ith Spring upon us more and more outdoor enthusiasts are considering a visit to public parks, nature reserves and national parks to return to nature, following the ease of lockdown restrictions.

One of the places often frequented by outdoor lovers is the Tygerberg Nature Reserve, a conservation area which forms part of the City of Cape Town’s biodiversity network.

The reserve is host to several fauna and flora and is open to the public daily between 07:30 and 18:00.

Visits to the reserve were restricted during the Covid-19 lockdown period, but since the announcement of alert level 2 of the disaster management act’s regulations, the park has been reopened.

“The reserve is open and ready to welcome visitors back,” Marian Nieuwoudt, Mayco member for spatial planning and environment, told TygerBurger last week.

According to Nieuwoudt, however, the reserve is implementing several safety measures to reduce the spread of Covid-19 and it also encourages social distancing among vi-

The view of the northern suburbs including Bellville, Brackenfell and Kuils River as seen from the Tygerberg Nature Reserve.

Some of the measures include the introduction of reflection strips which have been

placed at the entrance leading to the cash office in order to guide visitors to stand at least 1.5 metres away from each other while wai-

ting to make a payment.

Information notices have also been placed at the gate and cash office, informing the visitors of the no mask, no entry policy in place. Visitors are also encouraged to make use of the sanitiser provided at the gate house prior to, and after making a payment.

The access gate is left open to encourage ease of movement and to limit contact when visitors are entering or exiting the reserve, and visitor control officers are constantly reminding visitors to the reserve to be aware of safety practices, explains Nieuwoudt.

According to the City, hand sanitiser is available at the econo-loo ablution at the top of the hill as well.

“Our staff have limited contact with visitors and only when necessary. The field rangers are constantly patrolling the reserve to ensure visitors comply with the health and safety protocols.

“There are numerous pathways and picnic benches across the reserve, therefore we do not find large crowds of visitors in one area all at once.

“Hikers and fitness enthusiasts have been enjoying access to the much loved trails at the reserve since its opening,” Nieuwoudt says.

Groenteplasie in Bottelary-heuwels help honger stuit DESIRÉE RORKE @dezzierorke ’n Nuwe bestaansboerdery teen Fischerpad in die Bottelary-heuwels beoog om hongersnood in dié landelike area te help stuit.

Mielies, broccoli, pampoen, slaai, ertjies, boontjies en kool is verlede week aangeplant nadat die grond in Augustus voorberei is.

Vandeesweek gaan die verbouing voort wanneer blomkool, wortels, uie, aartappels en tamaties aangeplant word.

Lede van die Bottelary-plaasgemeenskap bewerk self die grond om voedsel aan die omringende gemeenskappe te verskaf.

Die inisiatief vorm deel van die visie van die nie-winsgewende organisasie Shiloh in

Brackenfell en is deurgevoer deur verskeie rolspelers met die hulp van ’n paar vrygewige boere in die Stellenbosch-omgewing.

Dorkas in Brackenfell, die Kuilsrivier Kingdom Group en die NG kerk Sonstraal was ook by die projek betrokke.

Genaamd “Vars Visie” sal die bestaansboerdery in die komende maande, te midde van die Covid-19-pandemie, ’n groot voedselnood in dié gemeenskap help verlig.

Soos die hongersnood vererger het, het die donasies minder geraak en dit was juis dié krisis wat die visie geïnspireer het om vars voedsel te verbou, sê Delene Kleyn, projekbestuurder by Shiloh Synergy.

“As ons hande vat met ’n gewillige gemeenskap, kan groot dinge deur gewone mense gedoen word,” sê sy.

Hester du Toit en haar oorlede man,

Ds. Braam Hanekom (regs) en Hester du Toit is saam met plaaswerkers tydens een van hul besoeke aan die nuwe plaas.

Francois, van Brackenfell, het voorheen verskeie gemeenskapsgroentetuine in die area begin.

“Kanker is in 2016 by Francois gediagnoseer en die projek het stadig doodgeloop omrede dit nog nie volhoubaar was nie,” sê Kleyn.

In Junie vanjaar het Mandy Nel van die Kingdom Group in Kuilsrivier Hester aangespoor om die projek te laat herleef.

Kleyn het vinnig ’n span bymekaar gekry en daar is begin om navorsing te doen oor die beste plek om die boerdery te begin. ’n Boer, Pieter Bestbier van Goede Hoopplaas, het by die visie ingekoop en ’n groot stuk grond op die lang termyn voorsien.

“Die projek is basies binne ’n paar dae van stapel gestuur, met verskeie borge soos Starke Ayres, wat aan boord gekom het met toerusting en sade,” sê Kleyn.

Ds. Braam Hanekom van die Sentrum vir Publieke Getuienis het die hele span en die omliggende plase se inwoners kom besoek om opleiding te verskaf.

Lede van die gemeenskap bewerk die grond.

Twee gemeenskapsleiers het ook in Julie verdere opleiding by Learn to Live in Wallacedene ontvang.

“Die plaas sal broodnodige voedsel aan die plaaslike gemeenskap voorsien. Ons vat hande met die gemeenskap en ’n span gaan weekliks uit en help met die beplanning en aanmoediging. Die span raak holisties betrokke by die gemeenskap en dit het reeds binne weke uitgebrei na ’n biblioteek, voorsiening van speelgoed, klere, ander benodigdhede, asook berading.”

Die groot uitdaging is nou om water te voorsien deur die aanlê van pype na die naaste dam; hooi om die sade mee te beskerm en kompos.

“Ons verwelkom Afrikaanse boeke vir die kleinspan, ou buitebande, klere en speelgoed, kompos en tuingereedskap. Dit kan by die Shiloh Synergy-kantoor in Brackenfell afgegee word,” sê sy.

Bellvilliet se boek help jonges ’n

Gratis aanlyn boek vir jongmense is onlangs vrygestel en die skrywer hoop om ander daarmee aan te moedig om hul drome “vreesloos na te jaag”.

In die boek Rou real rebel, deur Líomee Vosloo, word verskeie lewenstemas in storieformaat gedeel.

Temas sluit in die egskeiding van ouers, teleurstelling, rebellie, trauma, depressie en die soeke na liefde.

Vosloo, ’n oud-leerder van die Hoërskool Bellville en radio-omroeper by Radio Kaapse Kansel, sê die boek “spreek tot die hart van tieners en studente”.

Dit gee ook ’n kykie aan ouers en onderwysers in die gedagtes van die hoofkarakter wat emosioneel met dié temas worstel.

Sy sê jongmense gaan gebuk on-

der moeilike kwessies, waarvoor hulle nie reguit antwoorde in die samelewing ontvang nie. Sulke kwessies het veral in die inperkingstyd toegeneem, waar jongmense ook met konflik en gesinsgeweld gekonfronteer word.

Hierbenewens plaas sosiale media ongesonde druk op hulle om ’n sekere beeld voor te hou, om in te pas. Die boek is in samewerking met die aanlyn inspirasiekanaal @niePlastiek bekend gestel.

Die temas in die boek is soortgelyk aan die lewenstories van verskeie bekendes wat op @niePlastiek uitgesaai word. Bekendes wat openhartig op die platform deel, is Melinda Bam, Simoné Nortmann, Karlien van Jaarsveld en vele ander akteurs, sangers, asook nasionale sportmanne.

“Bekendes in die webreeks staan saam teen die neiging van ’n per-

fekte lewe wat op sosiale media uitgebeeld word, met die hoop om jongmense met die waarheid te inspireer. Meer as ooit moet jongmense op relevante maniere met die regte inligting bereik word,” vertel ’n woordvoerder van @niePlastiek.

“By jongmense is daar ’n behoefte aan antwoorde en ’n stem dat hulle nie alleen met hul kwessies hoef te worstel nie.”

Vosloo werk tans as radio-omroeper in die ontbytprogram by Radio Kaapse Kansel, wie se kantore in die Tygervallei-area geleë is.

Die boek is uitgegee deur Pio­neers Arise Media en kan gratis aanlyn by www.nieplastiek.co.za afgelaai word.

Mense kan ook op die webtuiste ’n donasie gee vir toekomstige internskappe vir jongmense by @niePlastiek.

‘Diet just as vital when fighting Covid-19’

Ilde Kellerman, a dietitian at Tygerberg Hospital. She has been nominated as a hero.

Ilde Kellerman, a dietitian at Tygerberg Hospital, was nominated as a “Hero Amongst Us” last week.

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

In the eyes of hospital staff, he or she can also be regarded as a role model or idol.

Kellerman has worked in the human nutrition department for

11 years.

Nutrition is very important for optimal recovery both during and after hospitalisation.

This is especially true for the critically ill intensive care unit patient, where patients are bedridden and ventilated, explains hospital spokesperson, Laticia Pienaar.

Within the so-called new normal of Covid-19 related challenges, nutrition becomes even more

important as a part of the healing process, Pienaar says.

“Imagine trying to eat when you are severely short of breath, extremely scared of the unknown, not able to see your family and friends whilst struggling to swallow.

When everything tastes like nothing, one can imagine why Covid19 patients do not eat well,” says Kellerman, a Bellville resident.

Pienaar says solving these types of problems without direct patient

contact is tough.

However, Kellerman and her team, have managed to adapt to these challenges.

“Our team is a family. And this ‘family bond’ and teamwork continues to see us through.

“A big thank you to each and every one involved with the food delivery process, whether oral intake, supplements or where tube feeds are recommended,” says Kellerman.

Kan dit nie wag tot ná die lente nie?

“Dis heerlike lente, die winter’s verby. Weer nodig die velde, vir jou en vir my…”

Dit is die mooiste tyd van die jaar. Die blommetjies blom. Die insekte is aan die gang en bestuif waar hulle kan. En die voëls bou nessies en lê eiers.

Selfs hier in die stede kan ons die verandering in die natuur sien. Maar nie vir lank nie ... want nou, waar ons die natuur op sy mooiste kan ervaar en bly kan wees oor God se skeppingswonder, hoor ’n mens die geskree van “weed eaters” en grassnyers.

Ons lewe in ’n tyd waarin al hoe meer mense bewus geraak het van die omgewing en die krisis waarin dit is.

Ons leer vir ons kinders dat ons respek moet hê vir die natuur; dat ons moet “rethink, re-use and recycle”.

Ons doen moeite om die aarde op te pas ... en dan gaan sny ons die velde in ons dorp kaal in blomtyd en broeityd. Dit maak net nie sin nie. ’n Goeie voorbeeld hiervan is die ontydige kaalsnyery van die oop stuk grond langs Frans Conradie-rylaan, langs die Gereformeerde Laerskool.

Hierdie veld word deur tarentale, vleitinktinkies, rooivinke, Kaapse flappe, Kaapse kanaries en oranjekeel kalkoentjies as broei- en voedingsarea benut. Daar is selfs al ’n nes van ’n Kaapse kwarteltjie gevind.

Hoe het die getalle van baie

van hierdie voëltjies nie afgeneem oor die afgelope jare nie? Vat nou maar net die rooivinke (Red Bishop) en Kaapse flappe (Yellow Bishop) – groot swerms wat eens die prag van die Kaap was. Om nie eens te praat van die pragtige veldblomme wat voor die voet afgesny word nie. Nie net is hulle esteties belangrik nie, maar ook vir die voortbestaan van duisende insekte waarsonder ons nie kan lewe nie.

Die gras moet gesny word.

Vanuit ’n veiligheids- en brandbestrydingsoogpunt moet dit gedoen word. Maar is dit nodig om dit in die lente te doen?

Kan ons nie asseblief ekologies wyser wees en dit sny wanneer ons die natuur nie so onder druk plaas nie?

Wat van Junie en Desember?

FOOTSTEPS TO GOOD HOPE ECO YOUTH, E-pos

Die plastiek-euwel Nes Erik (“Verminder jou plastiekgebruik”, TygerBurger, 25 Augustus) voel ek ook sterk oor die misbruik van plastiek.

Ek is verstom dat soveel produkte nog verpak word in plastiek, wat nie herwin kan word nie. So pas het ’n bekende supermark begin om hul hoenderporsies op ’n stewige stuk swart plastiek te verpak en bo-oor word nog ’n laag deurskynende plastiek gebruik om dit lugdig te verseël. Tevergeefs het ek gesoek vir die teken wat wys dat dit herwinbaar is.

Almal geniet hul hoender, maar hoe gaan stortingsterreine oor ’n jaar of wat daar

uitsien met duisende van hierdie verpakkings? Met ons Kaapse Suidooster sal dit die wêreld vol waai. Dis nie asof dit die hoender lekkerder of varser hou nie, want die enkele keer wat ek dit gebruik het, het die hoender ’n muwwe reuk gehad. Ek sal nie weer hoender koop wat in so ’n verpakking is nie.

ANTI-PLASTIEK, Durbanville

Maak ’n plan met werksoekers Kan daar asseblief tog ’n plan gemaak word met die mense wat op die hoeke in Darwinstraat in Kraaifontein rondlê en wag dat iemand vir hulle moet werk gee, veral op die hoek van Darwin- en Dan Kingstraat.

Hulle lê met hul bene in die strate. As hulle raakgery word, sal daar natuurlik weer ’n groot bohaai wees.

Ek stel voor dat die munisipaliteit ’n sentrale punt vir werksoekers maak sodat die mense wat werkers nodig het, na daardie plek kan gaan om iemand op te tel, soos wat gebeur in George.

Dit sal ook die strate ’n bietjie skoner hou. Die rommel lê oral waar hulle rondsit. Die werkers wat dan nog op enige ander plek rondlê, moet ’n boete kry. Die boetes moet ook vir die sakkrapers tel, want so kan dit nie aangaan nie. Op vullisverwyderingsdag lyk die strate en sypaadjies skokkend.

Mense moet ophou om vir hulle kos, klere of komberse te gee. Die goed lê oral rond.

BEKOMMERDE EIENAAR Kraaifontein

Plastieksakke gewilder as drank Talle mense sal met Erik (“Verminder jou plastiekgebruik”, TygerBurger, 25 Augustus), asook David (“Mensdom verniet aarde”, TygerBurger, 2 September), saamstem betrekkende die gevare van plastiek, maar hulle ongelukkig niks verder daaraan steur ná die menings gelees is nie.

Ek raai albei aan om by veral kleinhandelaars ’n tydjie deur te bring en bewus te raak van Suid-Afrikaners se gewoontes.

Om ’n “ou” plastieksak saam te bring, is ’n las of vernedering!

En dan kla dieselfdes van die hoë onkostes, maar betaal 87 sent per sakkie.

En daarby, hou net die kassier dop.

As die eerste item neergesit word, gebeur die volgende: Hy/sy vra of die onkoste van ’n sakkie bygevoeg moet word met die arm klaar gereed om ’n sakkie te gryp – al is daar net een item.

Ja-nee, talle (die meerderheid) gee nie om oor die toekoms van die mensdom of die seelewe nie.

Kyk maar net hoe waai die plastieksakke rond in die strate.

En natuurlik die tweeliterkoeldrankbottels wat keer op keer, by die ton, by winkels afgelewer word.

Dit wil voorkom dié is definitief meer gewild as drank.

Selfs gedurende die inperking kon winkels nie byhou met voorraad nie.

Reaching out

Kidnap ordeal at midnight

The Bellville South Community Policing Forum (CPF) held numerous events over the past few weeks. Pictured are children from Winsley Primary School during a talk the CPF organised on gangsterism and drugs.

ESMÉ ERASMUS

I

Various speakers addressed the children. Chair of the CPF, David Sias (with the white mask), is pictured during his talk. On the left of the picture is the station commander, Col Dirk Rademan.

Local councillor, Mercia Kleinsmith, also spoke to the children.

The CPF also donated baby clothing to people at the Bellville South Clinic and held a soup kitchen.

Pictured are David Sias (left) and the secretary of the CPF, Michelle Cecil.

n a dramatic turn of events, the manager of The Terrace Restaurant at D’Aria on Tygerberg Valley Road outside Durbanville was robbed at knifepoint on Friday night just after midnight.

He was kidnapped and driven around before he could escape. Two suspects were arrested.

The manager had already locked up the premises at about 00:05 on Saturday 5 September and was already at his car, a Hyundai Atos, to go home when he was threatened by two men. The men were armed with a knife.

They forced him to open the restaurant again and open the safe. They took R6 000 cash out of the safe, said Capt Marchell Rhode, spokesperson of the Durbanville police.

The men then took the manager’s car, forced him into the back seat and drove with him in the direction of Dunoon informal settlement.

They then ordered him to phone his employer and tell him to pay a ransom, before he could be released.

According to information received, the manager could not get an answer at that time of night and the suspects continu-

ed to drive around in the hope to get an answer later.

The suspects later drove in the direction of Kuils River, where the manager managed to jump out of the car near the police station. He reported the incident at the police station and was taken to Durbanville police station, where the charge was laid.

The manager’s car was later found parked in Greenville in Fisantekraal.

According to Rhode the police monitored the car and saw a suspect in the car at about 03:00. They arrested the man.

Another suspect was arrested at about 05:00 and some of the money was recovered.

The two suspects will appear on charges of business robbery, hijacking, kidnapping and extortion in the Bellville magistrate’s court this week.

According to a spokesperson of The Terrace, they already had 24-hour security on the farm before the robbery, but have sharpened it even more.

“The suspects knew the farm and was opportunistic and managed to get past our security,” he said.

According to him they have now hired a private security company, which will accompany the manager when he closes the premises at night.

High hopes for amateur rugby D

espite the absence of club rugby action for the remainder of the year, the return to action for the professional game has served as encouragement to Western Province Rugby.

“The past few days have certainly been very exciting for WP Rugby since the announcements from SA Rugby of the return to contact training for our professional players and the possible return to competition in early October for the first formal fixtures since the lockdown began,” says manager of WP Amateur Rugby, Danny Jones.

The matches, which will be played behind closed doors with only media and management in attendance, served as a welcome confirmation to Jones that the ever thirsty rugby following public’s thirst for local action will finally be quenched.

“We still await confirmation of the proposed domestic tournament, but this could run over 14 weeks until the finals on 23 January 2021. Much like some international schedules, we could see rugby on 26 December (Day of Goodwill) and on 2 January (tweede Nuwejaar) for the first time.

The proposed schedule could also see seven home games at Newlands before going into the finals,” says Jones.

Further announcements on the u.21 competitions and youth tournaments are also being waited on.

“For many of our u.21 players this will be their final year in this age division, as next year sees the format change to u.20 and some will then move onto the senior divisions. We are however happy to note that quite a few of our current u.21 players will be eligible for the u.20 side as we have several nineteenyear-old players. This is of course testament

to our player development environment in WP Rugby,” he adds.

Jones adds that for extra safety purposes the WP u.21 side is currently training at Brookside and City Park while the WP team is at the HPC in Bellville.

“We’re thrilled to have our club coaches Isma-eel Dollie and Jonno van der Walt helping with coaching, both from our club rugby structures with a tremendous track record and coaching experience. Our referee recruitment drive continues and we remind our clubs to send in the names of their candidates. Candidates should do the world rugby laws online certification first. On completion, the system will generate a certificate which should then be sent to recruitmentrefs@wprugby.co.za.”

Coach Jerome Paarwater held his third online workshop with the school’s coaches, focussing on the role of the team manager, presented by Stormers team manager Chippie Solomon. This week sees Jerome and Nazeem Adams work on schedule preparation. Jones adds that more than 90 applicants were recieved from Super League A and B for the media, marketing and sponsorship workshop. “Due to load shedding some missed out, but we will include them in a second opportunity. Candidates who have attended all four modules and have successfully answered the short online questions will qualify for WP Rugby certificates of attendance. Next week is allocated to Super League C and City League and clubs are reminded to pre-register using the online registration form.”

“Whoever would have thought that fitness enthusiast congestion would become a problem for runners and cyclists?” wonders Steve Hayward, chair of the Pedal Power Association (PPA).

“Thanks to Covid-19 there is an increase of both runners and cyclists on our roads – which is great news indeed,” Hayward says.

But it does increase the possibility of accidents unless people take far more care.

“This is especially of concern along more popular routes that have not necessarily been well designed for the number of people out there now using them,” he says.

Motorists also need to be aware that there are far more people walking, running and cycling both on the popular routes and in the suburbs.

“With the change in working practices and schools remaining closed, people, especially children, are out exercising or just playing during the day and not only on weekends. Drivers need to be particularly vigilant and drive cautiously when they see children, cyclists or runners,” says Hayward.

Of particular concern to PPA are those routes popular for both cyclists and runners that don’t have sidewalks or verges suitable to run on.

This means that runners and cyclists will need to share the shoulder and cyclists may have to move out into the road if there is nowhere for runners to move out of their way.

“Having to share the road means that runners and cyclists need to act responsibly and give each other space on the road to exercise safely,” explains Hayward.

Respect and courteous behaviour towards each other whilst on the road, will prevent accidents, he adds.

Hayward says cyclist should observe

NEW BOOK: STORIES TEACH MENTAL GRIT

Sport psychology for kids EARL HAUPT @earlhaupt

“S

port is an important learning environment for children. It is an area of life where they receive instant lessons on losing, winning, social dynamics and how they themselves react to certain situations.”

These are the words of Dr Denise Bouah, who has released her first book, Sports Psychology for Children: A Textbook Manual using stories to teach mental concepts.

Bouah, a sports psychologist who is also a Woman International Master in chess (Wim), says the book is written in everyday language and makes the daunting mental concepts accessible to the young mind.

“My goal is to make sport psychology accessible to as many children as possible.

When I finished my doctorate in human movement science (master’s degree done in counselling psychology), I decided that I want to do something with the results of my study that will benefit children in a practical way. I didn’t want my research results to remain pure academic literature, but rather be useful to the sport community,” she says.

Bouah hopes to change the perception that sport psychology is only an elite service to athletes who can afford it.

“With this book, I am placing sport psychology in the hand of the child. A young athlete can now read and learn about mental preparation in easy, everyday language.

Coaches, parents and teachers can benefit from this book as well. It will give them ideas and information to introduce and talk about certain aspects that their children are facing. This book is making sport psychology easy and understandable to all parties involved,” she explains.

Dr. Denise Bouah with her book.

The book revolves around the journeys of Jad, Xena, Chika and other characters through their sport adventures and experiences as they come to learn that there is more to sport performance than just the physical component.

“The aspects in this book are primarily based on the results of the research done for my doctorate degree. My study focussed on the habits, values and mindfulness of elite athletes. In this study athletes from different performance levels were included: club, provincial, national and elite. Every story in

this book includes either a habit or value that was found to be important among elite athletes. The book starts off by a story devoted to introducing the concept of sport psychology, mental skills and mental toughness. Some of the stories explain the meaning and usage of habits, values and mindfulness in sport, while others dive straight into a specific habit or value important for successful sport participation. The habits of being disciplined and being focussed, dealing with pre-game anxiety and setbacks as well as leadership and goal set-

ting in the sport context are also addressed,” says Bouah.

The three-time South African Women’s chess champ, who hails from Bellville, says that despite the book being written for children, the aspects found within can be used by adults as well.

“Sport participation is a lifelong pursuit for many people, especially with people becoming more active and appreciating the value of being fit and healthy. Athletes are constantly setting and adjusting goals. They need to be able to focus and be disciplined so they can do what is necessary to achieve their goals. All athletes make mistakes, experience setbacks from time to time and it is important to deal with these in a constructive manner.

“Coping skills are needed to deal with pressure situations. Then there is the importance of awareness. Being aware of aspects about yourself, your needs, your surroundings and the influence of your surroundings on you can enhance performance.

“We all have habits and values. Some of our habits can be destructive to our performance, others can have a positive effect. Sometimes we do not function in accordance with the values we hold dear and that can have an impact on our performance and quality of life. It is important to be aware of our behaviour and what motivates us to behave in certain ways. This book address all these aspects because these aspects are not limited to certain levels of performance.

“Every athlete has to deal with them, doesn’t matter the athlete’s age, level or length of career. That is why it is so important to master these skills at a young age already.”

Final stretch for 5k Solo Run takes place this Friday The Friday 5K Solo Run powered by Puma has entered the final stretch, with the penultimate run, the Friday 5K Solo Run #4, taking place on Friday 11 September.

“We can’t believe that we are already counting down to the second last Friday 5K Solo Run,” says Agne du Plessis, Stillwater

Sports head of road running. “We love how committed the running community has been, with runners having to endure cold temperatures, wind and rain on more than one occasion during the Friday 5K Solo Run Series. This did not stop them from completing their 5km runs and sharing

their photographs with us. As a reward we are happy to confirm that there are still loads of awesome sponsor prizes up for grabs. This week runners will stand a chance to win a pair of stylish Puma UltraRide Running Shoes to the value of R2 000, a case of Coca-Cola, Powerade/Pow-
