Standing against violence TIYESE JERANJI @jeranji

R

esidents are urged to join hands against gender-based violence through a human chain from Blouberg to Big Bay on Sunday 1 December.

The human chain which will start at 15:00 to 17:00 is organised by Tasha Vukajlovie, Nicole Trigg, Bonny-Jean Gortan and Bronwin Okkers to raise their voice against gender-based violence.

This is the second human chain they are organising.

Vukajlovie says they will continue their activism until the laws are changed.

“We are waiting for our president to deliver on what he promised and until such time we will continue to protest. Words don’t mean much if no action is taken. We are asking everyone to join us in this peaceful protest, to take a stand, to be heard and to help us make a difference. Be the voice of the silent ones,” she says The idea was sparked after a spate of killings of women, including University of Cape Town student Uyinene Mrwetyana and University of Western Cape student Jesse Hess.

Mrwetyana killer, a former employee of the South African Post Office was sentence to three life sentences at the Cape Town High Court on Friday 15 November. On the

Previous human chain against gender-based violence. other hand, Hess’ murder suspect made his first appearance at Wynberg magistrate’s court.

Speaking on the arrest of Hess murderer, Vukajlovie says: “We are ecstatic that he was caught but upset that another young woman had to be violated for him to be caught. We hope the justice system doesn’t fail these women,” she says.

With only a few days to 16 days of Activism of no violence against women and children, organiser Trigg, says gender-based violence continues.

“Our community will continue to protest peacefully until such time as real change comes,” she says.

For more information contact the organiser through Facebook.

Relief after suspect is put behind bars RICHARD ROBERTS @richardjohn_rj The family of the slain Jesse Hess (18) say they can now sleep in peace knowing that the suspect involved in her murder has been put behind bars.

Jesse, a first year theology student at the University of the Western Cape and former Table View Primary School learner, was murdered along with her step-grandfather, Chris Lategan (85), at the Beaumont apartments in Victoria Street, Parow, on Friday 30 August.

According to family member Sandy Hess, only two cell-phones, a handbag and flat-screen television were stolen.

The family always suspected that the suspect is known to them as there were no signs of forced entry, Sandy told TygerBurger during a recent interview.

In the earlier interview Sandy told the newspaper that they had been informed that the detectives had already identified a suspect. At the time the police were still however waiting on the forensic results from the department of health.

The suspect was identified last week as a cousin of the victim from Eureka Estate, Elsies River, but was apparently staying with his girlfriend in Hanover Park at the time of his arrest.

The suspect was arrested on Wednesday 13 November.

Capt Frederick van Wyk, Western Cape police spokesperson, confirmed this saying that the 31-year old was arrested in Struisbaai in the Overberg district after information was received from the community.

He appeared at the Wynberg magistrate’s court on Friday on charges of rape and robbery.

The charges follow an apparent second

attack on a 16-year-old victim in Lynberg Road, Hanover Park, on Monday 11 November at 07:45.

“The police told me he was caught. We are very relieved. We can sleep now for the first time in months.

“It is still very hard for us as a family because he is a close relative, but I am happy he was captured,” Sandy told TygerBurger last week.

Roger Cannon, chair of the Parow Community Policing Forum, welcomed the news of the arrest.

“At our executive meeting on Tuesday evening, the Parow police were asked to please establish whether there had been any progress in the investigation in the case of the double murder in Parow.

“We have now heard that a suspect had been arrested in connection with this case. We are hoping that this arrest will shed light on the case as the community is anxious to know what happened on the night of the gruesome murders.

“We believe that the case should take its course, but we are also aware that this process could take months. The family indicated that they want closure on what had taken place, so we are hoping that there are no further issues that will prevent the case from reaching a conviction and a heavy sentence,” Cannon says.

The arrest was also welcomed by Albert Fritz, Western Cape minister for community safety.

“The suspect was reportedly out on parole at the time of both crimes and was arrested for rape and robbery. This was thanks to an effective community policing partnership.

“Struisbaai community members recognised the suspect, alerted the police and two detectives responded. He was subsequently arrested and taken to Cape Town to link him to the mentioned crimes.

“I commend the responsible citizens in this arrest for their timeous response,” Fritz says.

Fritz further calls on the department of correctional services to urgently ensure that dangerous repeat offenders are not allowed back into the communities as they cause further harm,” his spokesperson, Cayla Murray, says.

“Guests were blown away. Some had only seen the photos but to see these statues and stand in the middle of them was very emotional.

“A tour through the procession is an immersive and moving experience as visitors connect with the lives of the people so vividly created in bronze,” she says.

The project is a concept by Dali Tambo and Haines says when he told her about this idea, she didn’t think they could pull it off.

“The more we talked about it the more I believed in it.

“We had to find funding and the first 18

statues were exhibited at the ANC rally in Mangaung in 2012,” she says. From there the statues have increased bit by bit. Haines has no doubt that the statues are an incredible learning experience. “Over the past nine years, since the project’s inception, the Long March to Freedom has enriched the lives of many 1000s of people, from those who worked or were trained on the project, to the school children who have never before had the opportunity to fully experience their own history and heritage, and the domestic and foreign tourists who laud the Long March to Freedom as one of South Africa’s

most exciting heritage attractions,” she says.

Their hope is that learners take full advantage of this exhibition.

“In the new year we will have educational programmes for learners. We will have a dedicated type of classroom curriculum to teach our children about our history,” says Haines.

The exhibition will be open to the public daily from 09:00 to 18:00. Special entrance fees from opening until end of February 2020 are at R70 for adults and R50 for children under 12.

Park given bright make-over TIYESE JERANJI @jeranji Democracy Park in Joe Slovo was given a new lease on life thanks to the Aslan Hope in Sport organisation together with a mission team from a church in the United Kingdom.

These two joined hands and cleaned the park and repainted the equipment on Monday 11 November.

Angelo Hannival, sports coordinator of Aslan Hope in Sport, says they partnered with a church in London called Sutton Vineyard Church to have a week of mission in Cape Town. There were 10 members from London and 10 from the Aslan team.

“We have been completing some projects and sports sessions during our week together to bring hope into these communities,” he says. Talking about their clean-up at Democracy Park, Hannival says, “We wanted to bless the children in Joe Slovo with a clean and safe park. There was a huge amount of rubbish, lots of glass and some needles on the ground. All the paint had come off the equipment and there was graf-

fiti all over the walls,” he says, explaining that they wanted to make the park a place that the children could start to enjoy again.

While cleaning they came across much broken glass, needles, dirty nappies, dead mice and rats, bags of rubbish and used condoms. They partnered with the City of Cape Town officials who came to clear the huge amount of rubbish bags that they collected.

Hannival says the founder of Aslan Hope in Sport, Denzil Dolley, used to live in London and attended Sutton Vineyard Church.

When he came to Cape Town with his wife and children to start Aslan, he kept contact with the church and the church wanted to support Dolley.

“Last year the team cleaned up a park in Dunoon and Dolley saw the huge impact it had on the kids in the community. He saw that no children were using the park as it was being used as a dumping ground for everyone’s rubbish. We wanted the children from Joe Slovo to be able to have a safe place to play,” he says.

Part of their aim cleaning that park, Hannival says they wanted the children to be able to be a part of the project so they got them to put their painted hands on the freshly painted walls as a reminder that they are a part of the change in their community.

“Whilst we were finishing up, a dad arrived with his year old. He told us he has never entered the park with his child before as it was unsafe. We were so happy that he was now wanting to let his child use the park,’’ he says.

‘Swim where there are lifeguards’ TIYESE JERANJI @jeranji

M

ilnerton Surf Lifesaving Club chair Bonita Jones is urging beachgoers and surfers to always swim within the flags and where there are lifeguards.

Jones said this following the rescue of a 46-year-old man by the City of Cape Town lifeguards and the National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) Station 18 at Lagoon Beach on Thursday 14 November.

She says: “The lifeguards on pro duty for City of Cape Town received a notification from Station 18 of a possible drowning in progress at Lagoon Beach at 14:11. Two lifeguards launched the Inflated Rescue Boat (IRB) from the club and four lifeguards responded by car to Lagoon Beach.

“On arrival at Lagoon Beach, several eyewitnesses reported a fully-clothed man drifting out to sea opposite the hotel and at least 400m off-shore. Lifeguards Charl Jones and Michael Chandler searched the area in the IRB but

with no initial success,” she says adding that the strong south-easterly winds, strong currents and reports that the man was floating, prompted them to widen their search area, following the currents.

After searching for more than 20 minutes, they spotted the man about 600m offshore, opposite Milnerton Surf Lifesaving Club, more than a kilometre from where the patient entered the water.

“He was still conscious and floating in the water. They pulled the patient into the IRB and returned him to shore by 14:40 where the rest of the lifeguards assisted them to carry the patient to the club.

“The patient was handed over to paramedics and transported to hospital for further medical assistance,” she says adding that this was great teamwork from Station and Milnerton Surf Lifesaving Club.

Jones also thanked all the lifeguards that assisted in the rescue, Ryan Chandler, Dylan Paul Fourie, Angelica Schon and John Jones. “Thank you to the life-

guards that helped to stabilise the patient in the club until the paramedics arrived, Danica Taljaard, Siobhan Bottomley, Kirk Mitchell Ariel, Mausenbaum Liam Hare and Connor Wernich. Teamwork makes the dream work,” she says.

Jones says people should not swim at Lagoon Beach because it is dangerous. “The rip current is very bad. Also, there are no lifeguards there so if something happens you will be in big trouble.

“Stay within the red and the yellow flags. Listen to the lifeguards when they tell you not to swim at a certain spot. People go to Lagoon Beach because of convenience, but it is dangerous,’’ she says explaining that they have had people drown at that beach every year for the past four years.

“We can’t operate there. There is no facility and it is far from our club. People must just not go there.

We are also urging people not to go to the Table View beach front because of the same reason, there are no lifeguards and facility there.

“Those that have been rescued there has been accidental rescues

“There are a lot of safe beaches manned by City of Cape Town life-

The chair is Anya Ragaller, secretary: Angela Chandler, treasurer: Graham van Ryneveld, operations: Leon Heyns, communications: Sven Ragaller, additional admin: Robert Frey and membership: Jennifer McSweeney The watch is looking to raise about R40 000 to buy three communal radios per sector, car decals, bibs, toolboxes, torches, first aid kits and reflective vests.

Speaking to TygerBurger about the progress made thus far, Anya said the watch is gaining momentum.

“Everyone is excited, and the community is involved. I’m so happy that everyone is taking part, and this is what I wanted. For us to pull together as a community. Safety is not a one man show, we all need to work together. I’m happy that everyone is joining hands and seeing where they can help,” she says.

Anya adds that the patrol with other neighbourhood watches will be a good start.

“We are looking at a huge number of cars in the streets with different neighbourhood watches from Summer Greens, Table View, Milnerton Ridge among others. It will be a powerful statement for our safety,” she says.

“We are all volunteers and we have fulltime jobs. We have to juggle between our day jobs and keeping our area safe. We are very grateful for those that have availed themselves and the sponsors that are willing to work with us,” she says.

The watch will be hosting a Christmasthemed fundraiser on Saturday 11 December from 17:00 until 20:00 at Pienaar Park.

Boks strip for a good cause Springbok rugby players and men of all shapes and sizes are stripping down to raise awareness for the signs of testicular cancer.

Player Faf de Klerk and his speedo became a viral sensation after meeting with Britain’s Prince Harry, after winning the Rugby World Cup, wearing nothing but his patriotic speedo.

Using his viral fame for good, the scrumhalf is collaborating with Cipla South Africa, which is based in Bellville, to challenge all men – even the Prince himself – to improve their personal “ball skills” when it comes to checking for signs of testicular cancer.

Using the tag #fafchallenge players and others alike are using social media to post Faf-inspired pictures of themselves to social media. Testicular cancer is one of the most common cancers in men between the ages of 15 and 49, and if diagnosed in the early stages, the survival rate is 99%.

Despite this, the number of South African men being diagnosed with late-stage cancer is on the rise, says Cipla.

Fun and games at market Blouberg International School in Parklands is having a moonlight market filled with entertainment, great food and fun on Friday 29 November from 17:00 to 21:00.

Unlike prostate cancer (which requires a blood test or a digital rectal examination), early-stage testicular cancer can be detected through a simple self-examination.

Once a month, after a shower, check your testes for anything painful or unusual.

“An early diagnosis is the key to receiving potentially curable treatment. A significant impact can be made by simply increasing the awareness of self-examination among South African men,” says Cipla chief executive officer Paul Miller.

The challenge itself is simple: first, do a testicular self-examination, then post a Faf-inspired selfie with the caption, “I’m ballsy – I checked”, and challenge someone to post a picture to continue with the challenge and spread awareness about this important cause.

Remember to include #FafChallenge, #ballskills, #CancerAwareness and tag @CiplaRSA so you can help to create awareness.

VFor important tips on how to up your “ball skills”, visit www.fafchallenge.com.

Browse through the market or relax and listen to live music while your children enjoy the games evening.

Nicole Ludicks and treasurer Charlene May.

Mamas make cancer journey bearable TIYESE JERANJI @jeranji Being a cancer patient comes with its own challenges, but those challenges have become bearable all thanks to a group of mothers that are walking the path with patients.

Through the organisation Mamas Pay It Forward, cancer patients are being given an opportunity to focus on their recovery while these mothers take care of other things they need.

Started by Nicole Ludicks from Goodwood, Mamas pay it forward aims to provide care and support for those who have been suffering and impacted by cancer as well as abuse.

“We aim to provide a haven and care that exceeds providing basic needs, an organisation that’s actions are a reflection of its values, compassion and humanity.

“Our vision is to build a more conscious group of people, making them aware and understanding the impact of cancer and abuse on the individual as well as the family and furthermore the community. That change doesn’t only exist in words, but actions,” she explains.

Ludicks says cancer has a very deep impact on her life. “Losing two of my grandparents to this disease, I have personally seen the impact this has on families and the patient. I do not have experience with childhood cancer, however, I followed a story on Facebook right after the loss of my late grandmother Sylvia Buchweitz and I just felt that this is my calling,” she says.

Ludicks says the Facebook story triggered her desire to help. “I wanted to help ease the pain and support them through their grieving.

“Mamas Pay It Forward is more than an organisation to me, it is a banner of hope to those who not only are going through this painful process, but a continuous family of

unknowns, helping each other through it all,’’ she says.

Working with children and families all over Cape Town the organisation tries to do all it can to help through the resources that they get.

Talking to TygerBurger about how she feels about the work they do, Ludicks says: “I feel very proud and honoured to have played a role in the kids lives that we have helped thus far and will continue to help in the future. And not to forget the angel warriors that have lost their battle to this dreadful disease and are now pain free in heaven watching over all of us,” she says.

To continue with the work that they do and offer a helping hand to the patients and their families, Mamas pay it forward will be hosting a fundraiser event on Saturday 30 November at the Table View Football Club from 09:00 until 17:00 and the entrance is free.

At the event there will be food stalls, children’s entertainment, and a potjie competition among other things.

Ludicks says through the fundraiser, they hope to raise the much-needed funds for them to have their annual Christmas party.

“We want to supply each family with a much-needed food parcel over the festive season and have at least one less thing to worry about. The success of this fundraiser will mean that these children or families will have a memory that will last a life time,” she says adding that despite them going through all this pain and suffering the organisation will put smiles on their faces and they will know that there are people who care about and love them.

Dial-a-Ride leaves disabled stranded NIELEN DE KLERK @nielendk

S

cores of disabled people have been left stranded, with some unable to get transport to classes set to develop their full potential.

Multiple people have told TygerBurger they feel let down by the City’s Dial-a-Ride (DAR) facility.

Disabled people across the metropole who are unable to use mainstream public transport can use DAR to get around.

This serves as a lifeline to many who are wheelchair-bound and struggle to fit into regular cars.

A local organisation, The Ulwazi Project, is feeling the strain more than many.

The project caters mainly to people who have cerebral palsy.

It hosts arts and crafts classes three times a week at Bellville Library.

Around 15 people are subscribed to the project, with carers and volunteers helping them.

Those involved all come from different parts of the city.

“Because of the severity of their disability, everyone needs assistance in feeding, going to the bathroom and doing their daily tasks,” explains Evelyn Koopman, who helped start the project in 1997.

Evelyn’s daughter, Loreen, had cerebral palsy. Ulwazi saw the light because of a lack of facilities for grown-up people with cerebral palsy.

Evelyn says their aim is “to develop the fullest potential of severely disabled persons”.

They sell the arts and crafts created by the clients and use it to pay for carers and materials.

Yet, for the past three months, there has been little to no transport for their clients to and from Ulwazi.

This has had a severe effect on many clients.

Lydia Beets is the mother of Joseph Beets, who also has cerebral palsy. “(Coming to Ulwazi) is like their job,” she says. “They feel they have no purpose without it.”

Yet Joseph is one of the few lucky ones – he can still operate

without a wheelchair and has been able to come on the odd occasion.

Evelyn says she tried to transport one of the 15 people herself before, but this required two cars per client – one for the disabled person and one for the wheelchair.

This became too time-consuming as there aren’t that many cars going around.

The City’s Mayco member for transport, Felicity Purchase, says DAR is operated by HG Travelling Services on behalf of the City.

She says the service can transport approximately 2 347 passengers (approximately 7 700 trips per month) when the service operates at its optimal levels.

Asked if they were operating at reduced levels Purchase answered by saying they “currently have 13 vehicles in operation – nine DAR vehicles and two Quantum minibuses for users with other needs”.

She said they are hoping to have additional vehicles on the road within a few weeks.

Asked what disabled people without transport can do in the interim, she said DAR users do have access to the service.

She said they re-established a forum in August 2019 which addresses users’ complaints. This forum is set to meet once a month until all complaints are resolved and later once a quarter.

Wendal Koopman, chair of Ulwazi, calls this a non-committal response.

“It appears DAR is servicing the needs of some only,” he says.

“They do not give us definite plans (dates, numbers of vehicles) to be put in place to alleviate the issue.”

He says they call DAR repeatedly, but don’t get a response or are put through to an automated message recording service.

“If the service is operating as they say, then why is it that Ulwazi is not serviced?”

Enrico Lucas, contracts manager of HG Travelling Services, requested TygerBurger’s questions be emailed to him.

By the time of going to print, he hadn’t responded yet.

A milestone worth celebrating TIYESE JERANJI @jeranji

P

arents, children and the neonatal intensive care unit (Nicu) at Netcare Blaauwberg Hospital gathered at the hospital to celebrate World Prematurity Day on Saturday 16 November.

World Prematurity Day is celebrated annually on 17 November and aims to look back on the journey that the nurses and the parents have had with the premature children.

With the training room at the hospital filled to capacity, and the sound of little babies, parents and nurses walked down memory lane as they watched a slide video of their babies when they were born.

Some born at 500g, some at 800 some at 1.7kg and all filled with electrodes. As the video played, most people who were in the room were seen with teary eyes as they remembered the journey they have travelled with their little ones.

Speaking at the event was Althea Koetan, who said she gave birth at

29 weeks about a year ago. She says most parents never thought they will end up in the Nicu ward.

“When you get there its sink or swim, but for a mom and dad with a baby in that ward, sinking is not an option. You have to swim,” she says.

Koetan thanked the staff who gave her hope when she had none.

“I still can’t look at the nurses without getting really emotional or when I talk about our journey at this hospital. They have been with us through and through in the two months that my baby was here. I remember the doctors saying mine is a peculiar case, they couldn’t see what was wrong and they did not know what was wrong. I was on my knees praying everyday hoping for some good news.

“When I had no strength, the nurses were there. I remember coming to the ward one day and as always, the staff were smiling, but that day was different. Their smiles reassured me that everything was going to be okay. Each time I would walk in the ward you would find the nurses cuddling these babies, rocking them and giving them all the love,” she says explaining that because of the tenacity of the staff at the hospital she walked out of there with her strong baby.

Koetan says words of caring and support from the staff was echoed by so many as they have been through a similar experience.

Sister Brenda Evans says they celebrate this day so they can look back, see how parents are doing and talk about their experiences.

“We have had tiny babies. The smallest baby was 380g. Premature babies are all miracles and it is amazing when we look back from when they were born and how they are doing now. It is truly amazing and reinforces why we do what we do,” she says adding that what really warms their heart is to see them grow and contribute to society. For most parents having a premature baby comes as a shock.

“It is a very emotional journey.

Coming to that room for many is shocking because of all the machines and all the alarms, but we do our best. It becomes very rewarding when we see these little babies, now walking around and playing. It really gives us joy and just reminds us of why we do what we do,” she says. Those attending the event had to pay it forward by bringing baby items for Inceba Projects in Bellville . The project runs a safe house for abandoned babies and has a pregnancy centre among other things.

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

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

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

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

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

cember.

The Frozen Fun slide park is made possible by a collaboration between Canal Walk Shopping Centre and The Walt Disney Company Africa.

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

Canal Walk is well known for its family focused fun-filled events, and the Frozen Fun slide park will be no exception, with four frozen slides of varying heights appealing to thrill seekers of all ages.

But, if building a snowman is mo-

re your style, then an Olaf snow play area will help let the inner creativity out.

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

This allows plenty of time for festive season shopping, or for entertaining energy filled children during the holidays, not to mention a space for mother and father to chill out in the heat of summer.

The fun doesn’t stop there.

Ackermans is the retail sponsor for the event and will open a popup Frozen character activation at the event, where youngsters or the young at heart, who have purchased a plain white T-shirt in store can have a Frozen 2 character printed on it – for free.

LEWENSKIEKIE

Suid-Afrika toon duidelike vordering Die meeste beleggers is onseker wat die invloed van die volgehoue negatiwiteit en die mees onlangse mediumtermyn-begrotingsrede op hul langtermyn-beleggingstrategie behoort te hê.

Hoewel dit maklik is om meegevoer te raak deur al die negatiwiteit, is daar duidelike tekens van verbetering wat meer aandag behoort te geniet.

Ek het onlangs die voorreg gehad om na dr. Brand Pretorius (as hoofspreker) by ’n geselligheid te luister. Pretorius het ’n onbesproke bestuursrekord – eers by Toyota SA en later was hy die insolvente McCarthy Groep se legendariese sakeredding in die middel van die jare negentig.

Sy storie begin met ’n herlewing van sy eerste dag op kantoor, met vure wat figuurlik oral brand in die onderneming.

Verskaffers, aandeelhouers en werknemers het almal gemoedsrus by hul nuwe uitvoerende hoof gesoek. ’n Kernbeginsel (volgens Pretorius) vir McCarthy se omkeerstrategie was om te onderskei tussen wat belangrik (langtermyn) was teenoor wat dringend (korttermyn) was. Hierdie strategie was uiters doeltreffend, maar dit het steeds drie jaar geneem om die McCarthy-groep te red.

Indien ons na Suid-Afrika as een groot sake-eenheid kyk, dan was ons aan die begin van 2018 baie onrealisties oor hoe groot die Cyril-omkeerplan moet wees.

Hierdie plan moet ons land letterlik weer terugkry by die spreekwoordelike gelykbreekpunt.

Ek dink dit maak sin om ook hierdie omkeerstrategie in drie fases te verdeel: . Leierskapverandering en akkurate diagnose van probleme (bv. Eskom, begrotingstekorte, afgraderings). . Ontwikkeling en implementering van ’n omkeerstrategie. . Toenemende verbeterings vanaf vroeëre implementering begin momentum optel en het positiewe ekonomiese resultate tot gevolg.

Wanneer ons die individuele veranderings oor die afgelope 18 maande evalueer, is vordering duidelik te bespeur.

Fokus pres. Ramaphosa dalk eerder op die langtermyn- belangrike kwessies teenoor wat in die kort termyn dringend is, volgens die publiek?

Die ná-2017-skoonmaakpoging tot vandag sluit in agt kabinetskuiwe, nuwe uitvoerende leierskap by feitlik alle staatsbeheerde liggame, leierskapbestuursveranderings by ’n verskeidenheid provinsiale en munisipale kantore, nuwe leierskap by die Openbare Beleggingskorporasie, nuwe hoofde by die polisie, die Nasionale Vervolgingsgesag, die Staatsekuriteitsagentskap, die Gespesialiseerde Kommersiële Misdaadeenheid, die Valke en Misdaad-intelligensie, asook ’n deeglike Zondo-kommissie en voortgaande ondersoek na VBS Bank en beleggingsbeloftes van RSA-grootsake van ongeveer R600 miljard (Rapport, 10 November 2019).

Addisionele helpende kragte vir SuidAfrika sluit in volgehoue vrye joernalistiek (onder Sanef/MMA) en ons onafhanklike regbank, ’n nuwe ekonomiese adviesforum, ’n nuwe kleinsakeminister en ’n langverwagte kleinsake-adviesraad, ’n spesiale tribunaal om staatskapingsgeld te herwin, ’n teenkorrupsieforum en Richard Branson se belangstelling in die SAL. Suid-Afrika benodig tans dat alle Suid-Afrikaners aktief deelneem aan positiewe gesprekke oor die positiewe veranderings in die land.

Pretorius en sy bestuurspan skryf ’n groot deel van hul sukses toe aan hul keuse van “doelgerigte optimisme” ten alle tye. Bekwaamheid, integriteit en harde werk was al dikwels in die verlede ’n onstuitbare kombinasie.

Zig Ziglar het gesê “attitude determines altitude”. Suid-Afrika toon duidelike vordering, maar gee ons as beleggers die land ’n regverdige kans op herstel in ons beleggingsgesprekke?

Service was outstanding I am writing this letter to you to commend the fire department and the ambulance service for their very professional, pleasant and efficient service.

On Wednesday, I had to call in for emergency help. I got home at about 12:45 to find my partner unconscious.

A friend of mine told me to phone the fire services as they are good. I phoned them at 13:51 requesting assistance. They responded rather quickly in a fire engine and shortly thereafter the smaller vehicle (EMS) arrived and attended to my partner. One vehicle came from Durbanville and the other from Goodwood. The chaps (F Malenza, Jacques le Roux and Riaan Hyman and the rest of the team) were absolutely outstanding. They had requested the ambulance and the ambulance arrived at 14:47.

The lady medic or driver, C Mias, was so friendly, polite and efficient too, even when I nearly fainted in the ambulance!

I was so distraught and upset I did not pay attention to the number of the ambulance and the names of the firemen, but I saw a photo of them in the TygerBurger (how fortunate for me).

I really must compliment the fire services and the ambulance services for their superb, efficient and friendly service. Everyone is so quick to condemn them, but really any interaction I have had with these firemen has been superb. They have been at my complex before and were also so friendly.

Please pass this on to whoever is in charge of these fabulous chaps and the lovely lady, C Mias.

Thank you once again – I

will definitely call on the fire services again should I need assistance (please never again).

BEVERLEY FREDERICKS Durbanville

Life begins at conception I share my concern with the negative sentiment of Layaa Trevor regarding the way many “men in our society think of women” in her letter, “Abortions: get your facts straight” (TygerBurger 6 November).

The boys and young men I work with around southern and central Africa are being taught to honour, respect and protect women.

Many have been misled by our state propaganda regarding the stages and conditions when abortions are legally allowed to take place.

The Choice on Termination of Pregnancy Act clearly allows abortion “after the 20th week of the gestation period” if two medical practitioners “are of the opinion that the continued pregnancy – (i) would endanger the woman’s life; (ii) would result in a severe malformation of the foetus; or (iii) would pose a risk of injury to the foetus”.

With no time limit “after the 20th week of the gestation period”, an abortion 24 hours before labour is legally possible.

On Layaa’s second point: consenting children will not be criminally charged if they have sex while both are “a person 12 years or older but under the age of 16 years”.

So, a 12-year-old can legally have an abortion, without parental consent, with no rape having taken place.

Layaa clearly only wants her view on abortion protected; my thoughts on the issue are “ignorant”. Whatever happened to freedom of

speech? Do we now only allow state-sanctioned speech to hospital patients?

Layaa doesn’t want to be told what she “should and should not do with her body”.

We have no right to murder another – life begins at conception and the baby’s body is not the mother’s body – how can it be with different body parts, heart, blood group, sex etcetera?

CHARL VAN WYK Durbanville

The problem is the big sharp stones Everybody seems to be under the wrong impression regarding the stones on the pavement.

The complaint is not about the normal small stones on pavements.

The stones in question are those big sharp blue rocks that are placed on many street corners.

They are extremely dangerous and can lead to injuries and claims.

HM Durbanville

We tend to think only of ourselves In response to “Please think before you ‘scream’ ” by Rob from Bothasig (TygerBurger 13 November), I believe that if residents make provision for a walkway (cement slabs maybe) for pedestrians passing an affected property, there will be less criticism for the stones.

All too often I think we tend to think only of ourselves and not also of our fellow man. With a R22 000 spend I would have thought that a walkway could have been accommodated.

DANIEL ROSSOUW Durbanville

Customs duty fees are ridiculous I refer to the letter (“Do they pay the same import tax?”

TygerBurger 6 November) and I agree with this person 100%.

Everything Fedup has mentioned is exactly what I have experienced.

The tax we as the man on the street has to pay is ridiculous.

For instance, recently my aunt in the United Kingdom (UK) bought an Irish flat cap as a present for me for the approximate amount of R500.

In all the shipping papers she mentioned that it was a gift.

When the cap arrived in South Africa the couriers informed me that I would have to pay customs duty of R488 – cost of cap R500.

I actually queried the fact whether importers of containers full of clothes pay the amount on each sports cap that has been imported.

ALSO FEDUP Parow

Dankie aan dié verkeersbeamptes ’n Woord van dank aan die Bellville-verkeersafdeling en veral twee van sy beamptes.

Op Vrydag 1 November tussen ongeveer 15:00 en 16:00 was ek op pad om iemand naby die taxi-staanplek op te laai – wat ’n nagmerrie!

Die een beampte het die verkeer in beide rigtings gestop dat ek ’n U-draai terug na Voortrekkerweg kon maak.

Nog steeds onseker oor waar die persoon wag, het die ander beampte my gevra om hom in sy voertuig te volg.

Hy het gewag tot ons veilig was en die pad na Durbanville kon neem. Baie dankie aan twee omgee- en hulpvaardige beamptes.

‘I am different, not less’ – disabled leader DESIRÉE RORKE @dezzierorke

G

rowing up disabled in the ’70s and ’80s, Karin Smit knows what it is to be sidelined.

But being a rebel at heart, she did not allow society’s attitude to stifle her dreams – instead she became a champion for the disabled.

Karin was only a toddler when she was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, and at age 13, had undergone a bilateral hip replacement. The Princess Alice Orthopaedic Hospital in Cape Town became her second home and pain was part of her everyday life.

Growing up she was constantly reminded of what she could not do – “matric has no use for you; you won’t be able to find a job, no man will ever love you” and most heartbreaking, “you’ll never be able to have children”.

“As a disabled person I was led to believe that love and marriage was a taboo for me.

I was not seen as a whole woman.”

Today Karin is the principal specialist for specific needs at Vodacom, married to the love of her life for 25 years, and mother to a healthy 17-year-old daughter Kelly.

“Thank God, I didn’t believe what I was expected to believe,” she said in a poignant talk about her struggles at the fourth annual

From left are Michelle Phillips (Daniel and Friends), Paul Smit, Kelly Smit, Eleanor Rorich, RoseHannah Brown (chair for Daniel and Friends), Luani Oosthuizen (I am Special Ministries), Lianie le Roux (Daniel and Friends) and Kate Laurie (Daniel and Friends). In the front is Karin Smit.

Touching the Heart gala fundraiser held at Eensgezindt on Friday 8 November.

Karin completed matric at a mainstream school, and ten years later, earned a degree in social work. She met her husband during her third year at university.

“Many myths exist around hiring disabled people, but the truth is disabled people are the most loyal people you can imagine.”

Karin firmly believes that disability is as much a part of the country’s diversity as race, gender and religion are.

Battling to find a job, she started a recruitment agency, finding employment for disabled persons. “Of course I was told by many companies that they are doing me a ‘favour’ by hiring disabled candidates, and most of the time did not pay my fees.”

When she landed her first paying job in her thirties, it was at the telecommunication giant’s call centre. “This was like taking one step forward and ten steps back,” she says.

But it was the opportunity she needed to rise to the influential position she fills today.

Karin is currently completing her PhD in digital inclusion and in 2014 established the Women’s Network for Disability called WAND where she has empowered more than 300 girls with disabilities in special schools in Cape Town.

Having Kelly, she says, remains her biggest life accomplishment. Kelly means “fighter”, and born at 28 weeks weighing only 1kg, her battle was laid out for her.

“It wasn’t easy, and we almost didn’t make it, but I pursued my dream,” she reflects.

Her message to the disabled is significant: “You are different, not less. Don’t let anyone steal your dreams, ignore the naysayers and be kind.”

Karin’s philosophy encapsulates hard work and perspective, that leaves no place for self-pity. “Guess what. Life is bloody unfair and the sooner you let go of things you can’t control, the better. Get up and do what you need to do.”

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

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

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

Their vision is captured in emotionally gripping photographs by Brackenfell photographer Candice Rodriques in a one-ofa-kind coffee table book, published two years ago.

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

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

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

Vroeë Kersgeskenk vir Tygerbergse pasiëntjies RICHARD ROBERTS @richardjohn_rj

T

alle jong pasiënte by die Tygerberghospitaal het verlede week ’n vroeë Kersgeskenk ontvang – iets waarvoor hul ouers ewig dankbaar is.

Sowat 10 pasiënte tussen sewe maande en ses jaar oud het operasies ondergaan – meestal vir gesplete lippe, gesplete verhemeltes of beide.

Ander, soos die klein 18 maande oue Kiara Jansen van Eersterivier, het egter ’n operasie aan haar regterarm ondergaan. Kiara is met twee bykomende vingers gebore.

Een van die vingers is in Junie verwyder en die tweede verlede Dinsdagmiddag.

Die reeks operasies vorm deel van die jaarlikse Smile-stigting se Smile-week by die Tygerberg-hospitaal. ’n Soortgelyke week word ook jaarliks by die Rooi Kruis-kinderhospitaal in Rondebosch gehou. Die projek maak voorsiening vir gratis noodsaaklike operasies vir kinders.

Vir Kiara se ma, Chantel Jansen, is die operasie ’n seëning.

“Met haar geboorte het ons opgemerk dat sy 12 vingers het pleks van 10. Ek het aanvanklik nie geweet wat om te doen nie. Dis glo ’n seldsame verskynsel.

“Ons het die dokters daarvan ingelig en hulle het voorgestel dat ons dit vroeg verwyder, nog voordat sy skool toe gaan. Ons het gevrees dat sy op skool daaroor gespot sal word.

“Die hospitaal het ons ingelig oor die Smile-stigting en die werk wat hy doen. Ons het besluit om dit te laat verwyder,” sê Chantel.

Luchain, die dogter van Louise Snyers, ’n ma van Piketberg, is ook gedurende die Smile-stigting se Smile-week in die Tygerberg-hospitaal behandel.

TARRYN-LEIGH SOLOMONS @tarryns07

Nkumbuzo Nkonyana van Reach for a Dream het die kinders vermaak terwyl hulle vir hul operasies gewag het.

Sy sê die verwydering van die eerste vinger was ’n sukses.

Daar is geen letsels agtergelaat nie buiten ’n klein, donker merkie op die vel.

Die tweede vinger is op Dinsdag 12 November verwyder. Die ma en dogter het in die hospitaal oornag net om seker te maak dat Kiara wel 100% gesond is. Hulle is die Woensdag ontslaan.

“Sy vaar baie beter. Die operasie was ’n sukses.

“Ek glo dat alles vir haar sal uitwerk. Dis alles te danke aan die vriendelike dokters, die verpleegsters en die res van die personeel by die hospitaal.

“Ons is ook dankbaar teenoor die Smilestigting en Vodacom wat die projek aanbied,” sê Chantel, ’n ma van vier.

Louise Snyers, ’n ma van Piketberg, se dogter, Luchain, sê sy is ewe dankbaar vir die gebaar.

Luchain (15 maande) is met ’n gesplete verhemelte gebore.

“Aan die begin was dit moeilik. Sy het gesukkel om te eet en om haar bottel te drink. Ons moes haar bottel eintlik aanpas, maar soos sy groter geword het, het

dinge beter begin raak.”

Louise sê as ’n werklose ma is sy dankbaar dat die operasies niks gekos het nie. “Ek is baie bly.”

Nog ’n ouer, Lainese Engelbrecht, se 11 maande oue seun, Zyke, is ook vir ’n gesplete verhemelte geopereer.

“Ek is dankbaar vir die stigting en die maatskappy wat die operasies moontlik maak.

“Net die feit dat hy makliker sal kan praat, maak my dankbaar. Hy sukkel op die oomblik daarmee,” vertel dié Bolandse ma.

Wendy Canterbury, streekkoördineerder van die Smile-stigting, sê die kinders het elk ’n rugsak ontvang, gevul met geskenke.

Wenner van Karaoke soos ’n Ster skitter BRENDEN RUITER @ruitervaniewind Terwyl die Karaoke soos ’n Ster-kompetisie weer aan die gang is, is die wenner van die eerste kompetisie besig om opgang in die musiekbedryf te maak.

Feodossia Charles van Blue Downs het met haar wonderlike stem en skitterende verhoogpersoonlikheid in Maart vanjaar die beoordelaars só beïndruk dat hulle haar as die wenner gekroon het.

Sedert haar sege was sy baie besig en het sy reeds by verskillende geleenthede opgetree.

Op 30 November gaan sy die verhoog by die koerant Son se Jolkol in Grabouw deel.

Daar gaan sy skouers skuur met bekende kunstenaars soos Early B, Loukmaan Adams en The Rockets.

Charles sê die wen van Karaoke soos ’n Ster het baie deure vir haar oopgemaak.

“Ja, ek lewe nou my drome sedert ek ge-

Mense wat belangstel om aan die kompetisie deel te neem, kan video’s na 060 841 5005 stuur. Video’s van swak gehalte sal nie oorweeg word nie.

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

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

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

“The men were each fined R1 500 by the court.

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

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

On Saturday 9 November, staff at the Atlantis traffic department caught a woman with a fraudulent driving license.

According to Cape Town’s traffic spokesperson, Maxine Bezuidenhout, the clerk at the enquiries desk noticed that the woman’s temporary driving license she presented upon arrival appeared to be fraudulent.

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

“The suspect later confessed that she had paid a driving school R5 000 for the fake license. She was arrested and detained at Atlantis police station.

“The City’s Safety and Security Investigative Unit (SSIU), meanwhile, is looking into the allegations against the driving school,” said Bezuidenhout.

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

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

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

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

“It is true that the quality of forged documents makes them difficult to spot at times, but in most cases, officers will be able to identify these fake papers. Also, it is fairly easy to determine whether or not a document is fake or not, as officers have instant access to the eNatis database to check the credentials of a motorist or a vehicle.

“We have also acquired access to the department of home affairs database to verify documents.”

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

Sondheim revue will have your feet tapping T

he revue Putting It Together opens at Milnerton Playhouse in Pienaar Road, Milnerton on Saturday 30 November with a low-price preview on Friday 29 November.

The show will run until Saturday 14 December.

This fast-paced revue devised by Stephen Sondheim and Julia Mackenzie showcases Sondheim’s songs and draws its title from a song from his famous Sunday in the Park with George.

The revue has seen several productions, beginning with its premiere in England in 1992, Broadway in 1999, with Carol Burnett as the older woman, and the West End in 2014.

Now this unique and inventive musical

entertainment with its witty lines and wonderful energy comes to the Milnerton Playhouse stage as its end of year production.

Nostalgic and surprisingly intimate Putting it Together includes songs from practically every score Sondheim has ever written, as well as some never heard before. There are numbers from Into the Woods, Sweeney Todd, Company, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Follies and A Little Night Music, to name just a few.

The loose plot takes place at an all-night, black-tie party in a loft in New York. With a cast of only five, made up of very talented and experienced performers, the hosts, an older couple (Adri Louw and Simon Speck)

face their disillusions and marital troubles; a younger, a less jaundiced couple (Lara Basson and Louis Fourie) struggle with their feelings and desires, and a commentator (Barend van der Westhuizen) oversees and influences the action.

The spouses deal with infidelity and divorce but finally reconcile before dawn.

It’s an extraordinary crossword puzzle of brilliant songs, described as the funniest show Sondheim never wrote… but now he has.

Direction is by veteran, award-winning director, Sheila McCormick and a live band headed by musical director Chris Cameron–Dow and featuring Tersia Harley on second keyboard, Basil Heald on bass and Schalk Wasserman on percussion completes the cast. Audiences can look forward to a foot- tapping evening of songs that will make and bring back memories.

Performance dates: Friday 29 November (low price preview) Saturday 30 November (opening night) Friday 6, Saturday 7, Friday 13 and Saturday 14 December at 20:00 Matinees: Saturday 7 and Saturday 14 December at 14:30.

Lace-up for JP21 Titans race SAMANTHA LEE

T

housands of runners from across the Cape and the broader South Africa will descend on the Rocklands Sports Field for the start of the 2019 JP21 Mitchell’s Plain Titans race on Saturday 23 November.

With its start line just outside Glendale High School, the race will take runners on a scenic route around the coastline before heading back to the sports field where families, communities and runners will meet in a festive atmosphere in the spirit of community building.

Online entries closed on Sunday 17 November but manual entries remain open on race day and Friday 22 November.

Come Saturday, a hive of excitement awaits the avid and professional runners alike who come from far and wide to enjoy the race. The race forms part of the Coca-Cola League.

For the 12th consecutive year, the race will consist of a 5km, a 10km and a 21.1km race open to all ages.

Partners include the City of Cape Town, African Bank, Community Chest and PPC. TygerBurger’s sister publication, People’s

Post, is the official print media partner.

Run or walk the various routes to see and learn more about the vibrancy and culture of Mitchell’s Plain.

Entry fees are R110 for licenced and R170 for unlicenced runners in the 21.1km race.

Adults in the 10km race pay R70 licenced and R110 unlicenced, while juniors in the 10km pay R50 if licenced and R75 if unlicenced.

Entry to the 5km fun run is R20.

Race-day entries, race card and number collections will take place on Friday 22 November from 18:00 to 20:00 and on race day at 04:30 at Glendale. The 21.1km race will start at 06:00 with a cut-off time of three hours and 30 minutes. The 10km race will start at 06:15 with a cut-off time of two hours and the 5km race will start at 07:30.

All finishers will receive medals.

There will be ample secure parking, however, runners and spectators are urged to arrive early to avoid traffic.

Last year’s 21.1km men’s winner, Elroy Galant.

Brackenfell duo take home medals Brackenfell Shotokan Karate recently had their KSA Cape Town Karate Championships at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology Sport Centre.

More than 50 karateka of all ages and grades from various federations participate in an invigorating and highly intensive training session with former World and European Team Kumite Champion, Sensei George Best.

Best seminar wows local karateka Former World and European team kumite champion, Sensei George Best, was invited by United Shotokan-Ryu to conduct three seminars in South Africa.

The purpose of these seminars was to provide South African Karateka with the opportunity to experience high-level training with one of the world’s most-respected kumite (fighting) practitioners and coaches. The first seminar was held in Kempton Park, while the second seminar took place in Makhanda (previously Grahamstown). The third and final seminar was held in Brackenfell.

The Brackenfell seminar saw more than 50 karateka of all ages and grades from various federations participate in an invigorating and highly intensive training session.

While Best cut a somewhat imposing figure in his karate gi, his excellent teaching skills and rapport with the participants ensured that the seminar was thoroughly enjoyed by all in attendance.

Best hails from Manchester, where he is a full-time karate instructor and head of Hasha Karate Great Britain.

He was first selected to train with the Karate Union of Great Britain (KUGB) junior and senior squads at the tender age of 13. During this time, he trained regularly with some of the most ferocious karate fighters in the world. As daunting as this was, his persistence and resolve paid dividends, when at the age of 16, he made his debut as a senior in an international

event in 1984.

During his distinguished career he assisted England and Team Great Britain in winning the European Team Kumite Championships on five occasions, and the World Championships twice, making them one of the most successful karate nations in the World.

Best’s passion for his art is infectious, and although the seminars were gruelling, his encouraging, humble and gentle manner inspired and motivated the participants to give of their very best right up until the final exercises and drills were completed.

United Shotokan-Ryu chair, Gary Grapentin, has already been in discussions with Best regarding a follow-up seminar in the future.

Best’s South African seminar marks the third international instructor seminar which United Shotokan-Ryu has successfully hosted in South Africa during the past 12 months.

Previous international guest instructors include Sensei Pascal Lecourt (France) and Sensei André Bertel (Japan). United Shotokan-Ryu seminars are open to all instructors and karateka irrespective of style, affiliation or association.

For more information about forthcoming United Shotokan-Ryu international instructor seminars, email Western Cape representative, JP Müller, at jp.m@shotokankarate.co.za.

For many local karate athletes and spectators, this prestigious championship has become very popular and testing the best against each other.

There were 426 entries from 24 clubs who contested this year’s championship in categories ranging from children to veterans, representing all styles of Shotokan-Ryu, Goju-Ryu, ShitoRyu and Shorin-Ryu. South Africa’s best and some that are in the South Africa’s national team also showcased their skills, the categories were extremely competitive with a number of exceptional athletes in the senior categories. Shukry Sedan (MB Shito-Ryu) taking gold in the senior men’s Kumite under-60kg and Maxine Willemse (MB Shito-Ryu) taking gold in the senior women’s Kata.

Neil wen wéér gesogte titel Neil van der Vyver (11) is verlede naweek as vanjaar se 65ccSuid-Afrikaanse Motocrosskampioen gekroon – vir die derde keer!

Dié Husqvarna-fabrieksryer het weer eens sy klas gedomineer en vyf van die sewe rondes in die Suid-Afrikaanse reeks gewen.

Neil, wat sy eerste resies gery het op vyfjarige ouderdom en reeds sy nasionale kleure in motorsport verwerf het, was net agt jaar oud toe hy genooi is om aan die Junior Wêreld MX-kompetisie in Italië deel te neem.

Die 80 beste 65cc-ryers van oor die wêreld het teen mekaar te staan gekom, van wie die meeste ’n jaar ouer as Neil was.

Hy het hom uitstekend van sy taak gekwyt en algeheel die 18de plek behaal ná ’n baie kompeterende naweek.

Neil, ’n trotse leerder aan die Laerskool Durbanville, draf ook vir sy skool se o.11A- rugbyspan uit as skrumskakel. Hy neem ook deel aan MTB en het ook vanjaar WP-kleure in tennis en landloop behaal en is ook gekroon as sy skool se junior sportman van die jaar.

Neil van der Vyver is hier in aksie in die 65cc- Suid-Afrikaanse Motocross-kampioenskap, wat hy vir die derde keer gewen het.

SPAR CHALLENGE: SA PROTEAS VS ENGLISH ROSES

Netball test series at Velodrome S

outh Africans still basking in the euphoria of the Springboks’ stunning 3212 victory over the England Roses in the final of the Rugby World Cup in Japan have another enticing sporting encounter to look forward to – the threeTest SPAR Challenge Netball Series between the SPAR Proteas and the England Roses in Cape Town at the end of the month.

The Proteas won South African hearts with their outstanding performance in the Netball World Cup in Liverpool earlier this year. It was their most successful World Cup campaign since 1995, when they won the silver medal and their dazzling exploits on the court put netball on the map in South Africa.

They reached the bronze medal play-off, only to lose to the hosts and Commonwealth Games champions, the England Roses.

Now netball enthusiasts will be able to see them in action at home, in the city that will host the 2023 Netball World Cup. The three Tests will be played

at the Bellville Velodrome on Friday November 29, Saturday November 30 and Sunday December 1.

It will be an interesting encounter as both teams have new coaches, who will be put to the test in this series.

England are currently ranked third in the world and South Africa are ranked fifth.

The Proteas and the Roses have met 58 times in all, with England winning 44 Tests and South Africa 14. In the last six matches between the two teams, England have won four and South Africa two, but the matches have all been close, hardfought affairs. The players with the most caps against the Roses are captain Bongi Msomi, recently retired Maryke Holtzhausen and Karla Pretorius, who was named Player of the Tournament at the World Cup in Liverpool.

Matches are on Friday 29 November at 19:00; Saturday 30 November at 15:00 and Sunday 1 December at 13:00.
