Handwashing Day celebrated

Global Handwashing Day was celebrated in Dunoon on Thursday 15 October, as the City of Cape Town joined forces with multiple partners to facilitate the distribution of smart hand washing devices.

LAGOON BEACH: BEWARE OF RIP CURRENTS, WARNS NSRI

Teen drowns at beach KAILIN DANIELS @k10daniels

A

13-year-old boy has drowned at Lagoon Beach in Milnerton on Friday 16 October, allegedly due to strong rip currents.

This has prompted the National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) to issue a stern warning to all beach-goers to be extra cautious at the beach.

NSRI spokesman, Craig Lambinon, said in a statement on Saturday that the NSRI was alerted to a drowning in progress at Lagoon Beach in Milnerton at 17:51 on Friday afternoon.

“Almost immediately it was reported that bystanders had recovered a 13-year-old male

from the surf and bystander CPR efforts were in progress. The two drowning incidents on Friday in Cape Town happened during an outgoing tide and it appears that in both cases the teenagers were caught in strong rip currents,” Lambinon said.

The City of Cape Town’s Law Enforcement, Milnerton Surf Lifesaving Lifeguards, Community Medics, Life Health Care Response paramedics, as well as Emergency Medical Services (EMS) responded.

However, despite extensive life support and CPR efforts, the teenager was declared dead on the scene.

Police have since opened an inquest docket.

Condolences from the Milnerton community poured in via social media, describing

the incident as horrific.

Lambinon said the high tide had peaked after 15:00 and was receding. “The New moon Spring tide peaked on Saturday 17 October. This Spring tide is higher than normal high tide. Rip currents are the greatest danger and occur constantly throughout the month and bathers should exercise caution while swimming at beaches,” he said.

The Milnerton Surf Lifesaving Club (SLC) said on their Facebook page that during lifeguard training, lifeguards were alerted by NSRI Station 18 to reports of a drowning in progress at Lagoon Beach opposite Spinnakers.

“Four lifeguards ran along the beach and three responded by car with emergency equipment.

“On arrival at the scene they found the patient had been removed from the water by a bystander, Mr Julian Oosthuizen, and CPR had been initiated. The lifeguards continued with CPR until Community Medics arrived on the scene. Despite extensive efforts, the boy could unfortunately not be revived.

“Milnerton SLC would like to offer our sincere condolences to the family of the deceased boy and our heartfelt thanks to everyone involved in the rescue effort,” the Facebook post reads.

The NSRI has since appealed to the public to be cautious while swimming.

“Don’t go too deep into the surf line, and children should have responsible adult supervision when they are in the water,” Lambinon said.

Altydgedacht matriarch passes away at 95 ESMÉ ERASMUS

T

he matriarch of Altydgedacht Wine Estate, Jean Parker, died at her home on Saturday 10 October at the age of 95.

She was known for her enormous role in Durbanville, its environment and agriculture, says Denise Robinson, a member of parliament.

“Farming Altydgedacht on her own after her husband died, with two small boys, and building up the farm and its wine, she was truly a remarkable public spirited person,” she said.

Parker was born in East London on 4 November 1924, and grew up in the Eastern Cape. She lost her father at age 12, and during her youth she and her brother spent many holidays on her widowed mother’s family farm in Stutterheim.

This included the Second World War years, when they became very close to their eight cousins, as several of the fathers were away on active service, and these relationships endured throughout their lives.

Parker attended school in Queenstown before going to Rhodes University, where she completed a degree in art and teaching.

She was on the student council and qualified in 1945. She then taught in Cape Town for a year before taking up a teaching post in Umtali (now Mutare, Zimbabwe) for a year. She returned to Cape Town in 1948 to further her studies at UCT, and met and married Denis Parker, whose family had been farming Altydgedacht since the 1850s.

Their two sons, John and Oliver (Ollo), were only 4 and 3 years old when their father died in a shooting accident in 1954 at age 29 years.

After his death there was pressure for the farm to be sold, but Jean decided to continue farming as her two sons may want to farm themselves one day.

“She said she was inspired by her late mo-

ther-in-law, Daisy, whose husband Ralph had died in 1939, and who farmed through the difficult war years as a young widow with three sons,” her son Ollo said.

Parker attended to the dairy and winemaking, while the farm manager looked after the vineyards, grain and sheep. In this she was assisted first by Tony Kamos and, for many years, by Hennie Heydenrych.

“Coming from the Eastern Cape, my mother had a particular love for cattle and was involved with day-to-day running of this until her late 80s,” Ollo says. Her sons joined her in the farming business in the late 1970s after studying at Stellenbosch and working on farms overseas.

Having no experience in wine, Parker took a short course in winemaking at Elsenburg Agricultural college and proceeded to make wine for many years on Altydgedacht.

The wine was initially sold to the Castle Wine and Brandy company, then to Monis of Paarl, who later took over Nederburg and bought the wine grapes instead of the finished wine.

Parker was one of the first women winemakers in South Africa, and it is widely acknowledged that cabernet sauvignon made by her on Altydgedacht, and her neighbour Phil Walker on Morgenster were used by George Spies in his highly acclaimed GS’66 and GS’68 – some of the most famous wines to come out of South Africa.

“My mother loved to sketch and paint watercolours, and there is a big selection of her sketches of the farm and her travels. She was an adventurous traveller and undertook journeys through Europe to Iran in the 1960s and Central America in the 1970s as well as extensively through Southern Africa in the 1980s and 90s with her long-time companion, Jack Inglis,” Ollo said.

“She was very good with people and loved children and youth. She was passionately

Jean Parker

interested in, and cared for, the staff on the farm. She loved fynbos and nature, and was instrumental in preserving pristine Renosterveld on the farm, and was involved in the Durbanville Nature Teserve too.”

Parker also loved heritage and history, and was a member of the Durbanville Heritage and the Vernacular Architecture societies.

“She will be sorely missed by the community,” Ollo said.

Besides her two sons, Parker had six grandchildren.

A memorial service will be held on Thursday 22 October on the farm, which will be live-streamed on Zoom.

Special fund opened after attack on family ESMÉ ERASMUS Amother left to bleed to death in an armed house robbery, which saw her, her husband and a family friend shot, believes she was saved due to the quick thinking and brave actions of her teenage son.

Madelaine de Bruin (46) believes it was a miracle her life was saved, while her son Felix (14) ascribes the role he played to lessons learnt in karate and scouting.

De Bruin, husband Dave (47), and a family friend, JJ Oberholzer (30) from Robertson, were shot in the early hours of Saturday 26 September at their home in Mikpunt (“Drie in huisrooftog by Mikpunt geskiet”, TygerBurger, 30 September).

Both De Bruin and Obergholzer had been discharged, but Dave, a manufacturer of children’s furniture, was still in the ICU at Tygerberg Hospital, after the bullet had missed his heart by millimetres. He had had three operations.

A BackaBuddy campaign has been raised to help pay the family’s medical bills and get through a period in which they have had no income.

It is believed the four robbers had come from the farms surrounding Mikpunt. They gained access through a sliding door on a balcony, cutting the blinds. “I realised later two of them must have sneaked past our bed to our friend’s bed­room, while the other two woke us up,” she said.

Also in the house were Felix and a friend, Jethro Keys (15). “They didn’t know about the boys,” De Bruin said, “we told them it was only us in the house.

“They came back with our friend, with his 9mm pistol to his head, which I assumed was lying next to his bed. The men were told to sit on the bed, in which I was half-lying.

“They asked my husband to open the safe, but when he got up from the bed they told him to sit down. This happened a few times and he argued with them how he could get to the safe without getting up.

“The leader then said, ‘do you know how

Madelaine de Bruin, who was shot in the stomach, and her son, Felix.

PHOTO: ESMÉ ERASMUS long I have been doing this . . . 10 years! Do you think I am joking?’ and shot a warning shot into the floor.”

They were also armed with a long screwdriver and a long kitchen knife (or panga).

“They were pulling all the plugs out of the sockets to cut the wires to tie us up with,” De Bruin said. “They even cut the sling of my handbag.”

Her husband and friend then decided to tackle the leader with the firearm. A scuffle ensued in which several shots were fired. JJ was shot in the left lung, the bullet travelling to his intestines, while Dave was shot in the upper chest and in his right wrist.

De Bruin then jumped out of bed and ran to the boys’ bedroom to tell them to jump through the window to get help.

Two robbers went after her and shot her in front of her son. She lost a lot of blood.

The robbers pulled her by her foot and arm in the direction of the safe.

“I told them I am dead now, they have killed me,” De Bruin said.

“They then dropped me on my side at the door. This saved my life, because by lying on my side the bleeding was stopped by the pressure of my tummy fat. That literally saved my life, the doctors say. If it weren’t for that I would have bled to death.”

Felix offered to find the safe keys for the robbers. When they all left together, friend Jethro, who was hiding under a blanket, saw his chance, jumped through the window and ran to neighbours for help.

According to Felix, he took the real safe key off the bunch of keys, put it on a shelf and handed the rest to the robbers, who hadn’t noticed anything.

While trying to open the safe with a gun held to his head, he told them he would look in the kitchen for the right key. On passing the balcony he slipped out the sliding door onto the balcony, then shut the sliding door.

The robbers could not get the door open, because it had gone off its tracks and got stuck.

“Another miracle,” De Bruin declared.

It was then the robbers saw two vehicles coming up the road, which were the vehicles of the neighbourhood watch. They then fled the scene with six cellphones, three laptops and the friend’s pistol.

Felix says his experience with karate and the scouts taught him to never to show fear and think ahead. “I anticipated all their moves and what they were going to do next,” he said.

“We are just grateful, so many things could have gone wrong,” his mom said.

But now the family is left with unforeseen medical expenses and repair costs to their house. They also need trauma counselling.

“Our family is displaced,” De Bruin said.

My son and I are staying with my mother in Eversdal now. There is also our loss of income, and my husband is still in ICU.” Her stepdaughter, Jennifer Gregory, registered a BackaBuddy fund to raise money for their expenses. It is hoped R150 000 will be raised.

TYGERBURGER 3

Boer van D’ville is hoof van Agri Wes-Kaap ESMÉ ERASMUS

’n

Boer van Durbanville gaan voortaan Agri Wes-Kaap as president lei.

Villiers Loubser (46), voorheen voorsitter van die algemene sakekamer van Agri Wes-Kaap, is verkies by die Agri WesKaap se aanlyn jaarkongres op Donderdag 15 Oktober.

Loubser, die derde geslag Loubsers wat op die plaas Altona naby Philadelphia boer, volg Cornie Swart op, wat sedert 2011 as president gedien het.

Swart het gesê hy is opgewonde om die leisels aan ’n relatief jong span oor te gee. “Julle neem ’n sterk en vooruitstrewende organisasie oor en ek is trots en gerus oor die hande wat nou die leisels gaan vashou. Ek weet julle verstaan die hart van die landbou en ek wens julle alle voorspoed toe,” het hy gesê.

Loubser volg in die voetspore van sy pa, Kosie Loubser, en oupa, Villiers Loubser, wat ook as president van Agri Wes-Kaap gedien het – sy pa vanaf 2008 tot 2011, en sy oupa vanaf 1957 tot 1960 en weer vanaf 1963 tot 1965.

“Georganiseerde landbou het ’n baie belangrike rol gespeel in die geskiedenis van die land en ook ’n baie belangrike rol te speel in die toekoms,” sê hy.

“Oor die jare het ons bewys dat om saam te werk met mekaar en met die owerhede van die dag, ’n baie beter toekoms vir elkeen van ons bewerkstellig het. Daar is geen manier wat ons kan bekostig dat ons uitmekaar spat en op ons eie dinge aanpak nie.

“Agri Wes-Kaap en Agri Suid-Afrika is nie burgerregte-organisasies nie, maar eerder landbou-beleidsorganisasies wat skouer skuur met die owerhede en beleidmakers van die land.

“Ons het ’n baie goeie samewerkingsverhouding met die owerhede. Ons beleef tans baie onstuimige tye weens die geweld wat op plase plaasvind en die situasie wat deur politieke opportuniste en sosiale media-‘vloggers’ uitgebuit word om hul eie agendas van rassespanning aan te hits. Dit is baie kortsigtig en onregverdig dat so ’n hartseer situasie misbruik word en waarskynlik meer skade doen as goed.

“Ek twyfel geensins dat die georganiseerde landbou hier ’n baie belangrike rol te speel het om gemoedere te kalmeer en met mekaar saam te werk om ’n baie beter uitkoms te probeer bewerkstellig nie.

“Dit is dan ook ons as Agri Wes-Kaap se rol om ons lede te bemagtig met die regte inligting om die regte besluite te kan neem.

“Verder werk ons daagliks saam met die

Tydens die opening sal eksemplare van Piérre se debuut-digbundel Vertrek, wat pas verskyn het, te koop wees. Die bundel het sy ontstaan ná die selfdood van sy seun vyf jaar gelede en handel oor die reis deur die landskap van rou en verlies.

Alle winste op die verkope van die bundel gaan aan die Ithemba-stigting, wat hom beywer vir bewusmaking van psigiese siektes soos depressie en ook finansiële bystand verleen aan navorsingstudies oor psigiese siektes.

“Oktobermaand is Geestesgesondheidsbewusmakingsmaand en die bundel se verskyning ondersteun hierdie sensitiewe veldtog. Die bundel het groot aftrek gekry by die onlangse bekendstelling daarvan in Worcester en by die Breytenbachsentrum in Wellington,” sê Van Niekerk.

Water disruptions a headache KAILIN DANIELS @k10daniels

F

uming residents in Bloubergstrand and Atlantic Beach are at their wits’ end over water disruptions to their areas.

They say lack of communication from the City of Cape Town sparked outrage in their areas, and they are demanding answers.

Julia Lewis from Bloubergstrand says she started experiencing low water pressure last week.

“As a taxpaying citizen, basic service delivery such as having access to water should not be an issue,” she said. “ I understand everything cannot always go smoothly, and hiccups will occur, but all we ask is for the City to communicate with residents.

“We first have to complain on social media before getting any answers. With many of us still working from home, the water issue is becoming a bigger problem.”

Brent Alexander said he lodged

various complaints to the City.

“There are many days that no water runs from my taps and it’s unacceptable,” he told TygerBurger.

“What makes matters worse is the ridiculous bills I get at the end of each month for water I do not use.

“The City, however, assured me it would look into it. I’m not the only resident with this problem.

There are so many! Immediate intervention is certainly called for.”

After investigating the water disruptions in the areas where the problem was occurring, the City pointed out there was a major pipe burst in Sir David Baird Street in Bloubergstrand on Friday 16 October.

“The repairs have been completed and the water supply to Big Bay and Bloubergstrand was restored,” the City’s Mayco member for water and waste, Xanthea Limberg, said.

“Residents are advised that there may be a brief period of water discolouration.”

The City issued a statement on Monday 19 October advising residents in Atlantic Beach Estate of a water supply disruption on Thursday 22 October.

The City’s water and sanitation department will be working on the water supply main feeding Atlantic Beach Estate on Thursday 22 October, which will lead to a temporary disruption of water supply between 11:00 and 15:00.

The work involved installation of a pressure reduction valve on the 300 mm diameter pipeline feeding the area.

“Residents are advised to store water upfront in sealed clean containers for use in this period and ensure their taps are closed to avoid water damage or loss when the supply is restored,” the statement said.

“The work forms part of the City’s water demand management and conservation strategy to reduce the possibility of water losses resulting from pipe bursts in the water supply network.”

DHL aims to hand 1 million meals out Springbok player visits school: Springbok rugby player and brand ambassador for Raisins SA, Bongi Mbonambi, visited Milnerton Primary on Wednesday 14 October to endorse healthy eating and snacking. The learners were very excited about meeting Mbonambi. Pictured with him is head boy Tristan Miller, who is a huge rugby fan and plays for Milnerton Primary.

To commemorate World Food Day, celebrated on Friday 16 October, DHL Express launched its One Million Meals campaign.

This will see the global leader in express logistics deliver a million meals to those in need before the end of December.

Hennie Heymans, CEO of DHL Express Sub Saharan Africa, said: “This year, 2020, has certainly tested us all and delivered a stark re-

minder of how important it is to give back to the communities in which we operate. Food security is a critical social issue, and we are thrilled to be in a position to support some worthy charities during this time. At DHL we have a very clear purpose of connecting people and improving lives, and I can’t think of a better project to help bring that purpose to life.”

TYGERBURGER Milnerton 5

Handwashing Day celebrated in Dunoon A

Lifeguards at the Milnerton Surf Lifesaving Club’s annual retest on Sunday 18 October.

Lifeguards ready for duty The Milnerton Surf Lifesaving Club held its final annual retest on Sunday 18 October. Lifeguards are ready for voluntary lifeguard duty that will commence on 1 November.

They will be on duty at the Milnerton Beach Lighthouse on Saturday afternoons, from 14:00 to 18:00, and Sundays

and public holidays from 10:00 to 18:00 until Easter Monday 2021. The club urged residents to swim only when and where lifeguards are on duty. “Look out for the red and yellow duty flags that show lifeguards are on duty. There are no lifeguards at Lagoon Beach, so please do not swim there.”

total of 8 500 smart hand washing devices as well as sanitation products were provided to residents living in infor­mal settlements.

This as the City of Cape Town celebrated Global Handwashing Day on Thursday 15 October, joining forces with multiple partners to facilitate the distribution at a handover event in Dunoon.

Global Handwashing Day, established in 2008, was initially called the “Public Private Partnership for Handwashing”.

The City’s Mayco Member for Water and Waste, Xanthea Limberg, said alternative methods of hand washing, such as Tippy Taps and squeezy bottles, are convenient and efficient, and are especially useful for people in informal settlements who are using shared, communal taps.

“It’s heartening to see innovations continuing with new devices being developed recently,” she said.

“Tippy Tap type methods have been used for many years in developing countries around the world, and now we have Squeezy Bottles and more engineered versions too.

The ‘Squeezy Bottle 2’ was inspired by the ‘1 litre CT shower’ developed by a Capetonian during the drought crisis, and has been adapted for hand washing.

“The City celebrates partnerships that help scale up hand washing promotion at this critical time, and develop it as a habit in our youngest generation.

“Partnerships can indeed achieve improved health in communities, and I would like to thank the businesses that have provided hand washing devices and our civil society partners who will be trained and make it happen with beneficiaries.”

Throughout October, and across the city, environmental health practitioners and health promotion officers will conduct education and awareness drives on the impor-

tance of hand hygiene.

According to a statement issued by the City, studies indicate hand washing with soap decreases diarrhoea incidences by 44%, and further evidence suggests respiratory illness can be decreased by 20% with better hand washing practices.

Limberg added a donation of 5 000 2-litre hand washing devices (known as the EaziTap) have been made by the National Business Initiative, funded by Astron Energy, and will be rolled out primarily to early child development (ECD) centres in identified hotspot areas such as Khayelitsha, Dunoon and Bloe­kombos.

This will be done by three well-established non-profit organisations, the Community Organisation Resource Centre (Corc), Save our Schools and Violence Prevention through Urban Upgrading. The EaziTap dispenser offers a smart, simple solution for regular hand­washing.

The device, which can easily be mounted on any sturdy vertical surface, allows about 25 thorough washes per 2 litres of water. The design also features a spot to store soap.

“I would also like to thank the ECD forums and ECDs in these focus areas that will be using these hand washing devices to help keep themselves and our children safer,” Limberg said. “We would also like to remind residents to keep water bottles and containers clean and sterile, and only use water from a tap which is a trusted source. Do not drink or use wastewater after hands have been washed in it.”

For more information on proper hand washing, how to make Tippy Taps, Squeezy Bottles and bleach solutions for disinfecting surfaces, hygiene practices for shared taps and toilets and related guides, see the leaflets and short video tutorials in English, Afrikaans and Xhosa in the resources available at www.capetown.gov.za/coronavirus.

Voluntary lifeguard duty at the Milnerton Lighthouse will commence on 1 November.

Ratepayers AGM to be held in Phoenix The Phoenix Ratepayers and Community Forum will host its annual general meeting (AGM) on Saturday 24 October at 15:00.

The meeting will be held at Joe Slovo Hall,

Freedom Way. For more information on the meeting and its agenda, feel free to contact Sindiswa on 079 242 6668.

Suspect arrested with 12 firearms A total of 12 firearms were recovered on Sunday 18 October after a high-speed chase along Potsdam Road in the Table View area.

An investigation is underway after a 37-year-old man was arrested, said City of Cape Town traffic spokesperson Maxine Bezuidenhout.

She said officers attached to the Random Breath Testing Unit were conducting a checkpoint along Blaauwberg Road in Killarney.

“At around 08:00, the driver of a white VW Polo was stopped and interviewed, during which the officer noticed the driver appeared nervous,” Bezuidenhout told TygerBurger.

“The officer also spotted a red bag on

the floor of the passenger seat and asked the driver to step out of the vehicle.”

Instead, he sped off leading to a highspeed chase along Potsdam Road and into the Dunoon taxi rank.

“There, the driver jumped out of the vehicle with the bag and ran away,” Bezuidenhout said. “Du­ring the chase he threw the bag under a minibus. Officers caught up with the suspect and recovered the bag, revealing 12 pistols with serial numbers filed off.

The 37-year-old was arrested and detained at the Table View police station.

According to Table View police spokesperson Capt Adriana Chandler, the Hawks are investigating the matter.

Suspect arrested in Joe Slovo murders Milnerton detectives arrested a 26-year-old man from Joe Slovo, Milnerton on Friday 16 October after linking him to the murder of five people in the township.

According to police spokesperson Brig Novela Potelwa, reports at the time of the killings indicate six suspects had arrived at a house in Sekowa Street after 22:00 on Thursday 8 October. “One armed suspect shot a woman and injured another,” she

said. “Later that evening the gunmen shot and killed three men and a woman at another house in Dada Street, not far from the first scene.”

The arrested suspect is expected to appear in the Cape Town Magistrates’ Court on charges of murder.

Potelwa said as the investigation into the murders unfolded more arrests were imminent.

Book to inspire tolerance BRENDEN RUITER @ruitervaniewind

T

wo members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, and questioning (LGBTIQ) community joined forces to write a book of poetry portraying the struggles these marginalised people face daily.

George Willemse and Milicent van Wyhe’s book L.G.B.T., Leer goue bietjie tolerance is currently on sale on Takealot.com.

Willemse says the book started unexpectedly. “One day my father and I were watching a movie,” he related, “and suddenly I just decided to type a poem about how proud I am being gay and living in a small town like Sutherland. As I was typing, I just got so inspired by my own experiences and the things I have dealt with in my life, and still I came out okay in the end. The poem is called “Sitterland se trotse moffie”. I then posted the poem on Facebook, and I received a lot of likes and a lot of positive comments.”

He says Van Wyhe saw the poem and approached him. “She asked if I would like to write more poems, and then maybe publish it, and I thought why not? So over a weekend I wrote more than seven poems, because I was so excited. The idea that I can inspire someone else who is going through the same stuff I went through motivated me. For me every gay or lesbian goes through the same thing of coming out to their family, and that for me it is the hardest part of it all. Because you never know whether you will be accepted or rejected by your family and friends.

You don’t know whether the community will accept you, especially me, because I live in a small town, and we all know how some people can be in a small town. But they accepted me with open arms. While being gay

Milicent van Wyhe wrote a book about tolerance with her friend. has its ups and downs, at the end of the day it is what you make of it, whether you get up and stand tall when you fall.”

Van Wyhe says she has been writing poetry all her life.

“Writing about my experiences as a member of the LGBT community has always been my coping method,” she said. “So when I saw George’s poem “Sitterland se moffie” I knew we had to collaborate and share our stories with as many people as we possibly can. As a member of the LGBT community I have gone through my fair share of looks, dislike, rejection, discrimination, but the one that stands out is that I had to leave the church I grew up in once I came out of the closet.

“Thankfully I found an open and welcoming church, the Good Hope Metropolitan Community Church. They are all-inclusive, and I am able to serve God just the way I am. Thankfully we live in a country where LGBT rights are upheld, where we can live and love freely.”

According to van Wyhe she put a lot of pressure on George.

“I told him I could see he had a raw talent, and that he had one month to write 10 great poems for me, and he rose to the occasion as the brilliant writer he is. You know the saying “the pen is mightier than the sword”? I am hoping we don’t need to keep fighting for a place in our communities. I hope that what we’ve written will open some hearts.”

The book is available on Takealot.com at R200.

‘Spertyd’ debuteer by Die Boer Sandra Prinsloo is te sien in die debuutproduksie Spertyd by Die Boer-teaterrestaurant in Durbanville van Dinsdag 3 tot Sondag 8 November.

Philip Rademeyer het die teks verwerk van Elsa Joubert se outobiografiese boek oor oudword vir die produksie, wat deur Margit Meyer-Rödenbeck en Alexa Strachan vervaardig is.

Die produksie was bestem vir vanjaar se Aardklop-kunstefees, wat dit ook ondersteun het, maar weens die pandemie debuteer dit nou in die Kaap, sê Margit.

“Spertyd is ’n reis deur die kontinent van die ouderdom. Joubert is op 14 Junie midde-in die Covid-19-pandemie oorlede.

“Kort voor haar afsterwe het sy die teksverwerking gelees, en was sy opgewonde oor Prinsloo se vertolking van haar lewensverhaal. Die karakter kyk op 95-jarige ouderdom terug op haar vol lewe – van haar kinderjare, haar huwelik, tot waar sy as weduwee in ’n aftreeoord

woon. Die herinneringe daag bloot op, soos wat herinneringe maar doen.”

Rademeyer sê die eerste lees van Spertyd het hom diep geraak – ‘‘nie net die insigte wat Elsa Joubert oor ’n verskeidenheid onderwerpe lewer nie, maar veral die eerlike en weerlose manier waarmee sy met intieme temas soos oudword, die dood en verlies omgaan. Spertyd is meesleurend, beeldskoon, hartverskeurend en soms ook regtig snaaks.’’

Hy sê die stuk het sy oë oopgemaak oor dinge wat hy (as relatiewe jongmens) as vanselfsprekend aanvaar, soos beweeglikheid, geheue, die sintuie en kommunikasie.

“Een van die deurlopende temas van Spertyd is die waarde van medemenslikheid en deernis – dis ’n gevoel wat ons tydens repetisies ervaar,” sê Rademeyer.

Ouerbegeleiding word aanbeveel.

New equipment for fire season T

he City of Cape Town’s Fire and Rescue Service is gearing up for the upcoming fire season, for it has introduced the new Rosenbauer Metz Turntable Ladder L56.

The display ceremony took place at the Epping Training Academy on Thursday 15 October.

In the previous financial year the service took delivery of 99 vehicles, including four 56-metre, heavy-duty mobile aerial firefighting/rescue lift turntable ladders.

A statement explains that the appliances are able to rescue 18 people at a time from a 22-storey building within 12 minutes

through its lift system. They are also equipped with firefighting equipment and a cage to assist in extinguishing fires in high rise buildings.

Other vehicles acquired include water tankers, rescue vehicles and those used for the fire and a life safety section. In this financial year the service will receive an additional 34 vehicles, including foam tankers. “The fire and rescue service does so much more than fight fires. Over time it has evolved into a fully-fledged emergency service, responding to a wide range of calls including hazardous materials incidents, motor vehicle accidents, trauma and as-

sault cases, structural collapse incidents, water rescues and even rescuing persons trapped in lifts during power outages.

“As a growing city we need to ensure our resources are up to scratch,” the City’s Mayco member for safety and security, JP Smith, pointed out, “and that’s why we have made this investment in our fire and rescue service, to help it deal effectively with the thousands of calls received every year. It has been a long, hard road, and there is much more work to be done, but we will keep investing in our safety and security directorate as best we can.”

The service is also finalising recruit-

ment of just over 100 seasonal firefighters, a fixture on the calendar between December and April, to assist with the large number of vegetation fires that occur.

Smith explained: “Each year, thousands of hopefuls attend our seasonal firefighting trials, but lockdown this year has made us take a different approach. So to ensure we have boots on the ground in time for deployment the fire service has reached out to previous seasonal firefighters to check on their availability and willingness. They lend a helping hand to their permanent colleagues on the front lines, and I thank those heeding the call in unprecedented times.”

Cashew is a regal two-year-old cat who likes his own space, but is secretly addicted to attention. He would like a calm, quiet home as he doesn’t like noise and too much going on around him. His hobbies are bird watching and basking in the sun. Cashew definitely needs a playful feline friend and will be ideal for an older household with no dogs. He is being fostered with Skippy.

Copper is a lapcat with a loud purr and will do anything for food. He is a clever five-year-old cat who is able to open doors and sniff out tasty treats everywhere. He doesn’t mind being an only cat so he can soak up all your attention, but he will also be fine with a cat friend. He is fine with children and cat-friendly dogs.

Fluffy felines seek loving homes Several beautiful cats – in foster care and well cared for – can be adopted from Fisantekraal Animal Welfare (FAW).

A R500 adoption fee applies, which includes sterilisation, deworming and vaccination. The cats are also deflead, microchipped and vet checked (including test for FIV and FeLV). A home check applies.

V Contact FAW at adoptions@faw.za.org or by WhatsApp on 078 892 7892 for more infor..

Skippy adores one-on-one snuggle time with his human. He is a chatty cat with lots to say, always curious as to what you are up to. He is around five to six years old and would be happy with a relaxed feline friend. He is scared of dogs and is looking for a dog-free home.

Local youth on stage at jazz fest T

he Artscape Youth Jazz Festival goes live on Friday 23 October at 18:00 to 20:00 on Fine Music Radio 101.3fm and on Monday 26 October at 10:00 on the Artscape You Tube channel.

Dozens of talented musicians, 27 years or younger, from across the Western Cape responded to the call to submit online audition videos for this year’s edition of the Artscape Youth Jazz Festival.

This year the jazz masterclasses were open to every artist who had auditioned.

Lerato Skhosana (23), pianist from Table View.

Kara Snethlage (24), guitarist from Sunningdale.

The festival’s director, Amanda Tiffin, said: “The level of playing and performance was outstanding, so it was very difficult to choose only a few.”

The masterclasses took place online in September. It comprised 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 also participated in song writing sessions, rehearsals and the final performance. They were mentored through this process by Tiffin and a team of jazz-industry professionals.

The Artscape Youth Jazz Festival was launched in 2003 with a view to democratising the arts in South Africa.

Artscape CEO Marlene le Roux said the focus of the programme has remained dedicated to providing skills development. ‘‘This enables young jazz musicians to take the experience forward into their careers and educate others in the process.”

This year’s performers are Chante Phillips (26, drums) from Athlone, Kara Snethlage (24, guitar) from Sunningdale, Aphiwe Faleni (19, vocals) from Nyanga, Joshua Barnes (24, vocals) from Milnerton Rural, Lebohang Banda (27, vocals) from Gugulethu, Lerato Skhosana (23, piano) from Table View, Lezaam Beets (19, trombone) from Plumstead, Manasse Kitanda (24, guitar) from Cravenby, Nick Ford (17, bass) from Newlands, Robin Castle (21, vocals) from Ottery, Dillon Manley (19, tenor saxophone) from Pinelands, Tefo Mahola (26, drums) from Gugulethu, Joshua Nemaire (20, bass guitar) from Rosebank, and Joshua Wheatley (19, piano) from Southfield.

SLICE OF LIFE

Library a hub of activity “Welcome back to Parow Library; we have missed you…”

This simple sentence is so powerful.

As libraries and librarians, we constantly advocate the importance of our profession and the services we offer.

With the easing of the national lockdown restrictions, we have seen firsthand how much the public has longed for the library.

What we quickly realised is that the library is far more than just a building we operate in, or the books we have on our shelves. The library is a community meeting point, a hub of information and social interaction. Perhaps we already knew this but needed a global pandemic to remind us.

However, the lockdown period has not only been doom and gloom for Parow Library. The lack of patrons has allowed us the opportunity to effectively shelf read, weed out unusable books and rearrange some furniture – things we generally only have a few hours to do each month.

We have also been given the opportunity to meet as a team almost daily to address concerns or issues, offer each other support, as well as explore innovative ways of connecting with the public.

Having already reshaped our social media interactions, it has been easy for us to adapt and As easing lockdown make use of our regulations see a slow library’s Facebook reopening of libraries, page to stay connected with our Parow Library staff patrons. And, since Jacinta Avontuur reopening for and Marvin Williams limited services share their experience (we offer a drop and collect service), of running a library our Facebook posts under lockdown and how they survived the with the highest engagements have library’s greatest included those challenge yet: how to demonstrating the remain relevant while process of returnphysically unavailable. ing or collecting books, our “Parow Library windowshopping experience”, how to visit the library, and the frequently asked questions about our limited service offering.

Two of our most successful social media posts – demonstrating the drop-off/ collection service and the Parow Library Jerusalema challenge – reached 15 000 users. Not bad for a library! We’ve also seen posts involving library staff hover at about 2 200 interactions. Of course, realistically the level of engagement our Facebook posts garner does not reflect the amount of foot traffic we would normally have. Still, the goal of our social media pages has always been to supplement our face to face interactions, never to replace them.

We have also been able to introduce a “surprise bundle” for young primary schoolchildren where we put together a package of 10 books based on their age and reading level; author comparisons (who writes like whom) to assist with digital browsing as well as keep the public connected with the staff.

“Necessity is the mother of invention.”

This anonymous quote sums up the mindset of Parow Library since the staff returned to work in July. We have been forced to adapt to change, to prove ourselves relevant in these times. For the most part, we would like to think that we have been successful in this regard.

That said, we are looking forward to the day when we can open our doors and resume operating as normal. Despite traditionally being a quiet place, a library is only really brought to life when it is humming with the sounds of the people it serves.

V Nal’ibali, the national reading-for-enjoyment campaign is offering library staff nationwide the opportunity to complete a free online reading-forenjoyment training course – at no data cost. The short course will help librarians set up a regular reading club or story hour, engage reluctant readers and make informed choices about children’s books.

Visit www.nalibali.mobi for more.

Another open day at Avondale: Beautiful summer borders will be showcased at another open day which will be hosted at the Avondale Garden by the Rotary Club of Tygerberg on Saturday 24 October and Sunday 25 October. The extensive garden is situated at 40 Protea Way, Durbanville. Also the roses will be in full bloom. The garden will be open from 09:00 to 17:00. Tickets cost R50 at the entrance. All funds raised will be used for charity projects in the local communities. No refreshments will be available. Entry for children under 12 years is free. The wearing of masks and social distancing is compulsory.

Maak skoon ons luggolwe Vandat ek teruggetrek het Bellville toe, het ek ’n weersin in blaffende honde ontwikkel.

Hoe inwoners toegelaat kan word om drie blaffende honde op een klein erf te hê, is onverstaanbaar.

Rondom my is 10 honde wat dag en nag blaf – beslis langer as die ses minute wat toegelaat word, maar wie gaan optree as ek kla?

Die eienaars is blafdoof en neem nooit hul honde na parke vir oefening nie. Hoe hulle kan weet wanneer daar werklik iemand oortree, weet nugter. Die een groep honde sit die ander aan die gang tot ’n kakofonie van rumoer ontstaan. Honde is veronderstel om net hul eie erwe op te pas; nie die hele straat nie! Maak toe voor!

Allermins besef inwoners dat ons almal in “skoenbokse” woon sonder deksels met mensgemaakte, vertikale grense daartussen.

Elke ding wat oor hierdie grens strek, is indringing op jou bure se privaatheid.

Takke en blare wat oorhang of oorval, die geskel van die buurvrou, harde musiek, die alewige gefluit van sosiale media van verslaafdes, geraas en honde wat blaf, is almal irritasies.

Maak skoon ons luggolwe, dan sal daar veel meer vrede tussen bure wees.

INWONER Bellville

Yes, bring back the wildflowers My answer to Ronelle Shuttleworth’s question regarding bringing wildflowers back (“Bring back wildflowers”, TygerBurger, 14

October”) is a big yes!

Years ago in Onrust, Uys Krige was also passionate about not cutting all the grassy areas until summer had truly arrived and as a result we had beautiful displays of flowers all over the place during Spring time.

I’ve been following this approach on the sidewalks around my house in Loevenstein and it is looking great right now.

DAVID CLUVER, Loevenstein

I can’t agree more about wildflowers With reference to the letter

by Ronelle Shuttleworth (“Bring wildflowers back”, TygerBurger, 14 October) regarding the cutting of grass in urban spaces, I can’t agree more.

I am also a plant lover, although on a much smaller scale.

I remember my shock a couple of years ago when I noticed how the municipality upgraded the middle section of the road below Tyger Valley Shopping Centre. For many years I drove past there on my way to work, and each year the indigenous Spring flowers were spectacular.

Well, not any longer. I grew up in a little village on the West Coast, and the best time of year was when the Spring flowers came out.

I presume the indigenous plants being used are not indigenous, yet I appreciate the immense effort a certain gentleman by the name of Wouter Kruidenier has undertaken to beautify the roads in the Durbanville area.

Next time you drive down Durban Road, have a look at the vygies in full bloom.

Simply beautiful.

Waar kom dassie vandaan?

Kan iemand vir my sê waar op dees aarde ’n dassie in Durbanville vandaan sal kom?

Ja, in Sonstraalhoogte in Durbanville is op 8 Oktober ’n dassie, wat op die oog af in ’n goeie toestand was, vinnig deur my tuintjie – te vinnig vir ’n kamera.

Nee, ek misgis my nie. Ek het teen die hange van die Langeberge in die Koo in Montagu saam met hulle grootgeword en ken hulle goed. Hulle woon in die skeure van steil kranse. Die probleem is net dat daar nie sulke kranse naby ons is nie.

Nou waar sou dié een vandaan kom en waarheen was hy op pad?

ADAMUS P. STEMMET, Durbanville

Maak sypaadjie self skoon Aan die Brackenfell-klaers: mense, maar julle kan kla.

Is dit nie dalk omdat julle al die jare bederf was deurdat julle voorkeur gekry het teenoor ander gebiede nie?

Wees redelik. Daar was en is nog ’n inperking oor die hoeveelheid mense wat saam by die werk mag wees weens Covid-19. Dit geld ook vir die mense met die grassnyers. Dit neem tyd vir die munisipaliteit om in te haal.

In elk geval voel ek dat alle eienaars (van eiendom) of inwoners self hul gedeelte van die sypaadjies en randstene kan skoon hou.

Dis tog vir hul eie beswil om in ’n skoon omgewing te bly. Tel sommer die plastiek wat rondwaai ook op en herwin dit.

As die eienaars dit doen, sal daar baie meer geld vir die munisipaliteit wees om die hoofstrate skoon te hou. En,

dit tel ook vir die laerinkomstegroepe wat net mors en niks skoonhou nie. Hulle moet selfrespek kry.

IRENE Kraaifontein

Kla help niks nie Om aan te sluit by verlede week en voorverlede week se briewe van Brackenfell-inwoners wat betref vuil sypaadjies, wil ek ook sê dat in die vyf jaar vandat ek en my gesin daarheen verhuis het, het Brackenfell net agteruit gegaan. Kla help niks!

In die singel waar ons bly, sny ek self die gras, want dis twee keer in die vyf jaar deur die munisipaliteit gedoen.

Ek het ook selfs gif gekoop om die onkruid te bespuit.

Het die mense aan die stuur van sake dan geen trots nie, of is die reusagtige salarisse wat hulle ontvang, al wat saak maak?

FERNDALE-INWONER Brackenfell

Sorg vir jou erf Twee briewe, “Sypaadjies is vieslik” en “Bekwame bestuur kort in B’fell” verwys.

Ek stem heeltemal saam met die skrywers, maar daar is nog ’n aanbeveling wat gedoen kan word.

Ek bly in ’n systraat wat uitdraai in Buitekantstraat.

As ek kyk na party mense se erwe by hul grensmure, skaam ek my ook. Dat daar altyd mense in ’n buurt is wat dink ag, ons los dit vir die munisipaliteit, maak my siek.

Wat kan dit nou vat of kos om jou erf buite gou te sny of te laat sny? Ons mense se denke verbaas my soms.

Die munisipaliteit kan ook nie orals tegelyk wees nie.

Sorg vir jou erf en rondom.

Het julle geen skaamte nie?

Light on the horizon for club rugby S

A Rugby advised amateur clubs, universities, associate members and schools on Thursday that its Covid-19 Committee (CovCom) had approved a proposal to allow teams to return to training under certain strict conditions, although a return to play will not be permitted in 2020.

The resumption of amateur rugby training follows the gazetting of new regulations on sport by the Department of Basic Education and of Sport, Arts and Culture (DSAC).

“In the past couple of weeks, DSAC has permitted several sports to allow their amateur constituents to return to training and

match play,” said Jurie Roux, CEO of SA Rugby.

He referred to a DSAC statement released earlier this month which states athletes, support staff and officials involved in non-professional sport do not have to undergo Covid-19 testing before returning to training, but only had to ensure that a robust screening system was in place for training to commence.

“They do not have to submit their operational return to training plans to the minister for approval,” Roux pointed out. “We decided to approve the resumption of training for SA Rugby and the provincial union elite player develop-

ment programmes, rugby at amateur and community clubs and for associations affiliated to provincial unions and SA Rugby, but on certain strict conditions.”

These include, among other things, financial considerations, control measures to curb the transmission of the virus as well as adherence to requirements of the SA Rugby return to train and play guidelines for amateur rugby. The rules are required to be enforced by provincial unions.

All rugby bodies have been instructed to follow the “Integrated Return to Training” framework as an injury mitigation strategy.

It requires four weeks of fitness and strength training, followed by four weeks of gradual integration of contact rugby skills.

A set of guidelines will be circulated to all teams wishing to return to training through their provincial unions.

These will include signing indemnification and declaration of health forms, the appointment of a compliance officer, registration of all players, officials and staff on a club data base, screening and education of players, officials and staff, cleaning and sanitation of training venues, apparel and facilities, and to ensure no spectators

are permitted at training or matches.

SA Rugby also advised that amateur rugby matches will not be permitted to take place for the remainder of 2020, and teams may only start competitive action with the commencement of the 2021 rugby season.

However, non-contact rugby, such as TAG or Touch Rugby, can resume once the four weeks of fitness and strength training have been concluded.

Advice on the resumption of competitive play at community level will be confirmed in due course.

Local karters star on home track The South African National Rotax Max Challenge karting championship wrapped up at Killarney on Saturday 17 October.

Double winner on the day, Bishop did enough to wrap up the SA title in the process.

He also takes the Senior tickets to Portugal’s “Olympics of Karting”. There was a turn-up for the books when Cape Town’s 2019 SA champion, Troy Dolinschek raced his first national of the season.

He proceeded to take a dominant, but hard-earned four-win u.15 junior max victory for the day.

Joaquin de Oliveira stormed to four straight wins over Troy Snyman and Reza Levy each time in

the u-13 Mini Max category.

Yet another local lad, Reese Koorzen, came out on top of a close three-way fight to take u-11 Micro Max for the day. He beat Jozi visitors Mohammed Moerat and Caleb Odendaal. That was not enough to prevent Odendaal from swiping the championship to claim that ticket to Portugal. Jack Moore won two races in a magnificent day of baby Bambino racing to take the day from race 3 winner Rafael da Silva and final heat victor MJ Thekiso.

That was good enough for the latest scion of the Moss racing dynasty, Caleb to take SA’s youngest 2020 racing championship.

KLUBKRIEKET: EERSTE WEDSTRYDE IN JANUARIE

Davids Davids helps helps keep keep WP WP u-21’s hopes hopes alive alive

Korter seisoen weens Covid-19 K

Western Province u-21 wing Angelo Davids (centre) tries to fend off Cornel Korff of the Free State u-21 team in a tackle during their SA Rugby u-21 championship match Emirates Airline Park on Friday 16 October. Davids, a former Stellenberg High School learner, scored three tries to keep WP’s hopes of reaching the final alive with a 47-28 triumph.

lubkrieket in die Westelike Provinsie sal hierdie somer beslis eers in Januarie begin, het die WP-krieketvereniging (WPKV) einde verlede week aangekondig.

Onder normale omstandighede sou die eerste reeks klubwedstryde die afgelope naweek begin het.

Maar weens die huidige viruspandemie was daar aanvanklik sprake dat klubwedstryde teen Desember aan die gang sou kom.

Die WPKV-ampsdraers het egter gevoel Desember is ’n vakansiebelaaide maand en dat dit raadsaam is om weens Covid-19 liefs groter veiligheid vir die spelers te verseker.

In die komende maande sal alle spelers ’n reeks werksessies moet bywoon om hulle vertroud te maak met die voorsorgmaatreëls vir die voorseisoense oefeninge en latere wedstryde.

Aangesien die 2020-21-somer nou net ’n “halwe krieketseisoen” teweeg gaan bring, sal die kompetisiestrukture noodwendig afwyk van hoe dit in die verlede was.

Om soveel wedstryde as moontlik in die oorblywende deel van die somer ingepas te kry, is daar selfs ’n moontlikheid dat klubwedstryde tot in April sal duur.

Durbanville, Bellville, Universiteit van Wes-Kaapland en Brackenfell is die Tygerbergse verteenwoordigers in die Premierliga, terwyl Tygerberg, Kraaifontein, Milnerton, Edgemead, Kuilsrivier en Noordelikes-Goodwood in die eerste liga uitdraf.

Intussen is nog niks verneem oor skolekrieket in die komende somer nie, maar dit word verwag dat die eerste wedstryde in Februarie sal begin.
