TRAUMA-SENTRUM: ‘GEWELD NEEM TOE IN FEESTYD’

Slagoffers gehelp RICHARD ROBERTS @richardjohn_rj Ao. Wynand Naudé en Rosaline Fortuin wat die slagoffer-ondersteuningsprogram by die Parow-polisiekantoor behartig. FOTO:

ie 16 Dae van Aktivisme-veldtog teen geweld teen vroue en kinders het gister ten einde geloop. Tog gaan die geweld teen vroue en kinders voort. Terloops, in die feestyd neem dit toe, meen Rosaline Fortuin.

Fortuin is een van die ondersteuners by die Parow-polisiekantoor se slagoffer-bemagtigingsprogram en werk reeds sedert 2004 as ondersteuner.

Oor die jare heen het sy slagoffers van verskeie tragedies, trauma-gevalle en ongelukke ondersteun. Moord, selfdood, motorongelukke, seksuele aanranding en huishoudelike geweld, sê Fortuin is van die gevalle waarmee sy te doen kry.

Sy onthou hoe sy sowat 10 jaar gelede ’n seun se gesin moes bystaan wat homself aan die brand gesteek en sodoende selfdood gepleeg het.

“Ek onthou nog daardie Sondagoggend.

Ek moes vroeg na die toneel toe gaan,” sê sy.

Met die feestyd om die draai voorspel sy dat meer klagtes van geweld teen vroue en kinders aangemeld sal word.

Die feestyd is die tyd wanneer mense meer partytjies hou, drink, kinders verwaarloos word en vroue mishandel word, sê Fortuin.

Die proses van hoe hulle hulp verleen, is heel eenvoudig.

“Die polisie kontak ons gewoonlik.

“Ons is nie beraders nie, maar eerder ondersteuners. Ons is daar om mense te ondersteun wat hulp nodig het.

“Soms gaan ons tot by die toneel, maar gewoonlik bring ons die slagoffers tot by die program se trauma-kamer by die Parow-polisiekantoor,” verduidelik Fortuin.

Om die slagoffers tot by ’n sentrale punt soos die trauma-kamer te bring, is beter.

“By die toneel is daar net herinneringe wat soms die situasie bemoeilik.

“Ons probeer heel eerste om hulle te kalmeer sodat hulle verklarings kan aflê.

“Indien nodig, sal ons hulle na ’n maatskaplike werker of sielkundige verwys,” sê Fortuin, wat ook ’n plek van veiligheid bedryf.

Pa op soek na vermiste seun RICHARD ROBERTS @richardjohn_rj

D

is nou al meer as ’n week sedert ’n man van Parow spoorloos verdwyn het,en daar is steeds geen teken van hom nie.

Stephan Albertyn Greyling (39) het op Saterdag 30 November sy ouerhuis in Wrenchstraat, Glenlily in Parow verlaat en is sedertdien as vermis aangemeld.

Sy pa, Dirk Greyling, sê hy is erg bekommerd oor sy seun se welstand.

Stephan is slank, het donker oë, bruin hare en is 1,9 m lank. Ten tyde van sy verdwyning was hy in ’n grys broek, swart trui, baadjie en sandale geklee.

“Ons het nie gestry of baklei nie,” sê Dirk.

Stephan is sy enigste kind.

Dirk het reeds sy kind by die Parow-poli-

sie as vermis aangemeld.

Hy het ook die hulp van die Pink Ladies, ’n nie-regeringsorganisasie wat vermiste mense help opspoor, ingespan.

Dirk sê hy vermoed Stephan is nog êrens in die noordelike voorstede.

“Hy het nie gesê waarheen hy gaan nie. Hy is ’n baie eenkant persoon en het nie eintlik baie vriende nie.”

The festive season is a time of year when people make their way to the beach, theme parks, holiday homes, nature reserves, restaurants and bars – just about anywhere where fun is to be had.

It is also the time when there are more cars and pedestrians on the road, people consume more alcohol and tend to let their hair down.

Sadly though, it is also the time of year when people lose their lives on the road.

It is for this reason the Western Cape government’s Emergency Medical Services (EMS) is preparing for a busy season.

At the emergency communications centre on the grounds of Tygerberg Hospital in Parow, up to 10 trained staffers man the switchboard – your first point of call in an emergency.

That single call could be one of close to 1 500 incoming calls they receive on the day.

The calls vary from car accidents, to pedestrians knocked down, heart attacks, respi-

ratory problems and birth complications, all classified as priority 1, or P1 incidents.

Then there are also the less serious cases.

These include a cut to the finger or dizziness which are as a priority 2, or P2 incident.

The different categories help the call takers, dispatcher and ambulance personnel prioritize emergency cases.

This is one of the ways EMS try to use its strained resources, one of the supervisors told TygerBurger during a visit to the centre last week.

“Once the call is received by the operators and the details are logged, it gets transferred to the dispatcher who then relays the information to the ambulance nearest to the emergency,” the supervisor says.

A dispatcher, who is assigned a geographical area, can at any point be responsible for up to 18 ambulances.

There are 50 to 64 EMS ambulances across the metropole – stretching from Sir Lowry’s Pass and Gordon’s Bay to Khayelitsha, Nyanga and Philippi (the so-called red zones) to Stellenbosch, Paarl and Worcester in the Boland, the South Peninsula and Atlantis

The Western Cape government’s Emergency Medical Services (EMS) communication centre will answer thousands of emergency phone calls over the festive season. Althea Serelina (acting outbound manager), Andries Titus (centre manager) and Trezinha Naidoo (quality assurance officer) will be part of the team who has to ensure that the ambulances are dispatched during this period.

on the West Coast.

“Our team has a turnaround time of 15 minutes from the time we receive the phone call to the point where it gets transferred to the dispatcher and ultimately the ambulance itself to respond to the call.

“This however is not the case on some days. Often the response time can take between half-an-hour to an hour.”

According to the supervisor, it is important that when people call, they share the exact details.

Another supervisor says the information supplied to the centre operators such as names, surnames, age, gender, address, contact details and the type of injury are automatically shared with the dispatcher and ambulances via their computer system.

These details assist ambulance personnel to get to the scene as soon as possible and informs them about what type of emergency they need to prepare for.

“Sharing landmarks in the area with the EMS also helps us travel to the scene faster,” the supervisor says.

According to the team leaders all operators undergo stringent training to enable them to handle stressful emergency calls.

They know exactly how to obtain information required to dispatch an ambulance, and are trained in first aid.

Some of the operators have even assisted in child birth.

It is also important that they know how to handle hysterical phone calls.

“In this case, the first thing they have to do is to calm the caller down. Then they need to get as much details from the caller and assist them in any way they can, while also making sure that the ambulance services are on its way,” the supervisor explains.

Working as a call taker at the emergency communications centre or being a dispatcher is by no means a nine to five job – in fact, they work 12 hours daily.

“The centre is currently experiencing a staff shortage. Combined, there are between 12 to 15 operators and dispatchers on a shift.

With the festive season in full swing, staff are worried about an increased workload as it goes hand in hand with road accidents, drownings and knife or gun attacks.

It is important to know emergency numbers, or keep it nearby. . The EMS is divided into four components – ambulance operations, emergency communications, rescue and healthnet.

V To report an emergency to the emergency communications centre, dial 10177.

VAN BLADSY 1 Fortuin, wat vroeër jare as reservis by die polisie gewerk het, sê die behandeling wat kinders ontvang verskil van dié van volwassenes.

“Met die kinders praat ons gewoonlik net wanneer daar ’n ouer by is. In gevalle waar kinders seksueel mishandel is, is hulle soms skaam om voor die ma of pa te praat.

“Ons maak dit so gemaklik vir hulle as moontlik. Ons laat hulle gewoonlik die storie vertel. Soms huil hulle,” sê Fortuin.

Sy sê in die geval van vroue is dit soms

moeilik aangesien baie vroue terugkeer na die huis waar hulle aangerand word.

“Ons probeer hulle ook so gemaklik as moontlik maak. Ons los hulle en dwing hulle nie om te praat nie. Ons laat hulle gesels en laat die vrae aan die polisie oor.

“Baie van die vroue gaan terug na die situasie, maar soms is hulle geldelik afhanklik van die mans. Party van hulle raak groot met die soort lewenstyl en dit is dan iets moeilik om te verander,” sê Fortuin.

Tans is dit net Fortuin en Emilia Heyes

by die Parow-polisie wat die slagoffers bystaan.

Ao. Wynand Naudé, lid van die Parowpolisie, sê oor die 16 dae-periode word daar gereeld pamflette by winkelsentrums uitgedeel.

Daarbenewens word daar ook praatjies by tehuise vir bejaardes gehou, soos dié

by Huis Martina in Parow-vallei op Vrydag 29 November.

Die regering se 16 Dae van Aktivismeveldtog duur elke jaar van 25 November tot 10 Desember.

Spare a thought for the homeless this season RICHARD ROBERTS @richardjohn_rj

F

or many Christmas is a time to be with loved ones around the table eating all sorts of homemade dishes and treats.

A time when gifts are placed neatly beneath the Christmas tree, given or received on the special day to make someone special smile.

For some people out there though, more specifically homeless people, this is not al-

ways the case. There are however ways the public can help brighten their day, by dropping off donations at non-profit organisations which assist the homeless.

One such place is the City of Cape Town’s Safe Space in Culemborg in Cape Town.

“The City advocates responsible giving and does not support direct handouts to street people,” says Zahid Badroodien, Mayco member for community services and health.

Festive season donations of food and clothing can be dropped at the City’s Safe Space.

The provincial department of social development also supports non-government organisations that look after the homeless.

“As part of its day-to-day business, the department gives funding to NGOs that work directly to get people off the streets,” Esther Lewis, spokesperson, told TygerBurger.

Koor ‘dankbaar’ ná onstuimige jaar NIELEN DE KLERK @nielendk

D

ie Stadskoor Tygerberg het ’n uitdagende jaar agter die rug.

Nie net moes koorlede in Maart hul leier van sewe jaar groet nie, hulle moes ook ’n nuwe koorleier kies en tussen-in nuwe lede probeer werf en ook hul reünie vier.

Die koor, wat weekliks in Parow repeteer, tree al sedert 1977 op en is een van die bekendste kore in die noordelike voorstede.

“Die situasie het in meer as een opsig onsekerheid gebring oor wat voorgelê het vir die jaar,” vertel Hester Heunis, koorlid en lid van die koorkomitee.

Tog het alles ten goede uitgedraai.

Nadat Linda Claasen aan die einde van Maart die koor verlaat het, het die koor vir Peter Roux op 1 Mei as nuwe leier verwelkom.

“Ons kan met dankbaarheid terugkyk op ’n suksesvolle koorjaar en is opgewonde oor wat vir 2020 voorlê,” beaam Heunis.

Roux is bedags ’n ingenieur by die SuidAfrikaanse Weerdiens, maar het ook ’n lang verbintenis met kore en veral die Tygerberg Stadskoor, waar hy jare lank self ’n lid was en later assistent-dirigent geword het. Bo en behalwe sy werk by die Weerdiens en die Stadskoor is hy ook die musikale bestuurder (Musical Director) van die Cape Town Male Voice Choir en rig hy die Hoërskool Tygerberg se Meisieskoor af. Hy sing ook self in die Schola Cantorum Chamber Choir.

By die Stadskoor het Roux ’n paar veranderings te weeg gebring.

“Peter se visie vir 2019 was om die koor se repertoire te vergroot om buiten klassieke werke ook ligter genres, soos pop enligte jazz in te sluit. Meer gemeenskapsbetrokkenheid was ook deel van die beplanning,” vertel Heunis.

Daarom het die koor vanjaar by twee aftree-oorde, Oude Westhof en La Provence, opgetree en beplan om volgende jaar spesifiek by aftreeoorde in minder bevoorregte areas op te tree.

Die Stadskoor Tygerberg Ander hoogtepunte sluit in hul deelname aan die Symphonic Praise-konsert saam met die Cape Town Gospel Choir, Kaapse Filharmoniese orkes en die Gugulethu Tenors.

Hulle het ook by “Carols by Fairy Light”, by die Reddam House-skool in Durbanville, opgetree en by die Tygerberg Koorfees by die NG kerk De Tyger. Hul laaste optrede was einde November saam met die Cape Town Male Voice Choir by hul jaarlikse “Summer Celebration Concert” in die Bishop’s Kapel in Rondebosch.

In Oktober het hulle ook vir die eerste keer in 40 jaar ’n reünie gehou.

Sowat 135 mense het by die Skilpadvleiwynplaas byeengekom om die koor te vier.

Hulle het onder meer staaltjies vertel en na ’n uitvoering deur die huidige koor geluister. Party van die stigterslede het ook die verrigtinge bygewoon.

Die koor het al groot planne vir volgende jaar. Hy gaan onder meer aan die “Last night

at the Proms” en “Symphonic Praise”-konserte deelneem. Hulle is ook deur twee komponiste vir konserte genader.

“Een (is) uit Italië, Marcos Vinicius, en (ons is ook genader deur) die bekende SuidAfrikaanse komponis en dosent, dr. Salome Hendrikse, om van hul werke te sing en op te neem, wat in die tweede helfte van die jaar sal plaasvind.”

Die koor is nou hard aan die werk om nuwe lede te werf sodat hulle groter produksies kan uitvoer. Hulle is veral op soek na jonger volwassenes en mansstemme.

Roux hou op 9 Januarie tussen 18:00 en 20:00 oudisies vir voornemende koorlede by die NG kerk De Tyger, Hannes Louwstraat, Parow Noord. Dit is ook waar die Stadskoor op Donderdagaande van 19:00 tot 21:00 oefen.

VVir meer inligting kontak die koor by stadskoor@gmail.com (ook om ’n afspraak vir ’n oudisie te reël). Die koor is op Facebook en het ook ’n splinternuwe webtuiste, www.stadskoortygerberg.co.za .

Van Psalms na Kaap se eie ‘Pesalms’ WILLEM FRANSMAN JR Dr. Willa Boezak is ’n man wat nie net aan ’n ding dink nie, hy voeg sommer dadelik daad by die gedagte!

Nadat Litnet ’n kompetisie vir jongmense aangekondig het om Genesis 1 in die Bybel in Kaaps te vertaal, het hy gedink dat die Psalms eintlik ’n beter opsie sou wees. En toe die gedagte eers by hom posgevat het, het hy dadelik in Maart vanjaar met die grootse taak begin. Al 150 van die Psalms is sedert Maart vanjaar terstond in Kaaps oorgesit. Daarvoor het hy darem net eers die toestemming van die Bybelgenootskap van Suid-Afrika verkry.

Maar as plattelandse seun, wat in Somerset-Wes en Kakamas grootgeword het, het hy hom nie juis as ’n kundige van Kaaps gereken nie. Daarvoor sou hy ’n vriend en Kaaps-Afrikaanse digter en skrywer, Willem Fransman Jr, nader hark om die nodige taalversorging te doen. Fransman het ook die boekbekendstellingsgeleentheid gelei.

Die Suid-Afrikaanse Akademie vir Wetenskap en Kuns het hierdie grootse projek gefinansier en dié DAK Netwerk-publikasie is voorverlede Saterdag in die Khoisan Walvis en Mariene-museum in Parow bekend gestel.

Heel gepas is die boek met die titel Pesalm, met die subtitel vi ôse mense onder luide applous ontvang. In die uitgelese gehoor was taalghoeroes, predikante en boekemense soos prof. Anne-Marie Beukes, die kunstenaar dr. Conrad Theys en verskeie bibliotekarisse vanoor die Skiereiland.

Die geliefde Maranatha Mannekoor, aan wie ’n psalm in die boek opgedra is, het verder luister aan die geleentheid verleen.

Ds. Henry Mathys van die VGK gemeente SA Gestig, Belhar, het in sy kort toespraak genoem dat lidmate beslis vir die eerste keer die Psalms in “ons eie taal hoor...die taal waarin ons gebore is”.

Diegene wat graag ’n kopie van die Pesalms, vi ôse mense wil bekom, kan die skrywer by 084 417 2638 bel.

Willem Fransman Jr. en dr.

Willa Boezak, die twee medewerkers aan die verwerkte Pesalms in Kaaps.

Reptiles take over Bothasig RICHARD ROBERTS @richardjohn_rj Reptile enthusiasts from across the Cape descended on Bothasig this past weekend to take part in the inaugural Cape Town Reptile Expo.

The expo was held on Saturday 7 December and Sunday 8 December at the Abe Sher stadium, Bothasig.

The expo featured a variety of reptiles and reptile products for sale.

“The idea started about five years ago when I got involved in the reptile hobby.

There were expos in Johannesburg and Durban, but nothing in Cape Town.

“After speaking to some people, they all advised me that it could not be done due to permit restrictions in the Western Cape. I stayed involved in the hobby and finally decided in 2019 that I am going to pursue it.

‘Cape Town Reptile Expo’ just to see the response from the reptile community. Needless to say, the response was great and everyone was really excited about the idea of having an expo,” says Bothasig resident, Keith Lourens.

He teamed up with Marc Heath of Reptiworx to organise the event which featured interactive reptile shows.

“We decided to host the event to bring awareness to the public about reptiles. Our focus is on education, and getting the young ones involved,” Keith says.

In 2017 Keith managed to get South Africa listed on the ever-popular website Morph Market. “This is a website where people can post various reptiles for sale. I knew a lot of the breeders here in Cape Town and tracked some others down via this website.”

Visitors over the weekend could also enjoy the educational talks that covered various topics related to reptiles.

Some of the reptiles at the expo included Ball pythons, red tailed boa constrictors, reticulated pythons, king snakes, milk snakes, crested geckos, gargoyle geckos and king cobras.

“In most ecosystems, reptiles are the vital part of food chains and they play a huge role, both as the prey species and the predators in ecosystems. They also play the role of a pollinator. Many serious agricultural pests were eliminated by the reptiles.

“Snakes help balance the ecosystem, without snakes we would be overrun with rodents, a lot of wild rodents carry bacteria that is fatal to our average pets. Not only do snakes keep out ecosystems balanced, they too help protect us and our pets,” Keith says.

This fairytale takes place in the forest during Christmas time, where a poor woodcutter lives with his wife and two children. They decide to send their children away because they cannot afford to keep them.

Hansel and Gretel decide to run away instead and get lost in the forest and stumble across a house made of sweets. Inside lives an evil old woman who makes them do all the housework. Eventually they manage to escape and find their way home. There is a happy ending and a Christmas party for Hansel and Gretel. Hansel and Gretel is one of the world’s most popular children’s stories and this is a classic fairytale with a modern twist. This play is written to encourage audience participation and to create lots of fun and laughter.

After each show the audience will be able to meet Father Christmas, who will be handing out sweets to the children. Parents are requested to bring a present or a second-hand toy for an underprivileged child to put under Santa’s Christmas tree.

These toys and presents will be distributed to various children`s homes, safe houses and hospitals in Cape Town before Christmas Eve.

HOOFARTIKELBLAD

SLICE OF LIFE

Wanneer vrees jou pootjie Dit maak my altyd ietwat angstig as mense my vra waarvoor ek bang is.

Dis ironies, ek weet: ek’s bang vir ’n lys van dinge waarvoor ek bang is.

Want sien, die meeste mense het een of twee goed wat hulle nagmerries gee. In my geval het ek lyste en lyste van bangmaakgoed. Soms is daar selfs sublyste (party spinnekoppe maak my bang – die a-lys spinnekoppe, maar nie alle spinnekoppe nie – die b-lys spinnekoppe).

Dit is meestal die bekende vrese wat my ook bang maak: slange, hoogtes, misdaad, vinnige karre, groot honde, vlieg, salmonella, vertrappings, donderstorms...eintlik maar alles behalwe narre.

Sit vir iemand ’n rooi neus aan en kleur sy hare helder en ek’s heeltemal fine.

Maar moenie te trots op my raak nie. Ek was ook al bang ek word bang vir narre.

Vrees is meestal ’n nagmerrie (see what I did there?) maar soms, net soms, maak bang(ge)maakstories die beste stories.

Soos die keer toe ek en my man op ons wittebrood Thailand toe is.

Soos genoem, is ek nie mal oor vlieg nie. My man, wat in daardie stadium nog nooit in ’n vliegtuig was nie, het heel heldhaftig belowe om my op te pas. Ek’s byna 100% seker sy presiese woorde was: “Ek sal jou hand styf vashou.”

Ons was skaars in die lug of die kajuitpersoneel kondig aan dat daar groot donderstorms is (nog ’n vrees) en dat ons ’n ruk lank turbulensie sal ervaar. Byna dadelik begin ek hiperventileer en gryp ek die naaste papiersak waarin ek kan asemhaal. Asem in en uit.

Ná ’n oomblik hiervan onthou ek dat ek my man se hand kan gryp (hy’t immers belowe), maar waar my man se hand moet wees, is niks nie. Net ’n gekreun. Daar het my man toe erge vliegsiekte.

Hy moes met alle mag probeer om nie op te gooi nie, terwyl ek met alle mag probeer het om nie te huil van die vrees nie. Ons arme, arme medepassasiers.

In Thailand aangekom het ek toe ontdek ek is bang vir tsunami’s. Nee, regtig. Een aand word ek wakker en is vas oortuig ek kan ’n tsunami hoor aankom. Die lug maak dan sulke golfgeluide. “Daar’s ’n tsunami,” fluister ek en maak my man wakker, ’n pantoffel al aan my een voet. My man steur hom skaars aan my. “Dis die aircon,” mompel hy. So was dit toe.

(Ter verdediging wil ek net sê dit was ’n baie lawaaierige aircon.)

Elk geval, later daardie week gaan ons op ’n romantiese uitstappie waarin ’n man ons op ’n vlot deur ’n rivier in ’n Thailandse woud begelei.

Die man verstaan nie Engels nie en ons verstaan nie Thai nie, maar dit keer hom nie om vir ons interessanthede uit te wys nie.

Een woord wat hy byna die heeltyd herhaal, is iets wat soos “Mia” klink. Hy sê dit so dikwels, ek neem net aan dit beteken “mooi”. Toe nou nie. Halfpad deur ’n uur lange uitstappie, besef ek hy wys na slange. Nie jou gewone slange nie. Sulke helder swart-en-geel slange – wat meestal in takke bo ons koppe is.

Natuurlik krimp my hele lyf ineen en ek gee sulke klein beangste gilletjies. Ons toergids vind dit toe verskriklik snaaks en besluit om nog meer moeite te doen om die “Mias” uit te wys.

Dit was nou nie meer elke 50 m dat ons een sien nie, maar elke 15 m en elke liewe keer draai hy om en lag terwyl ek gril.

Dit is seker maar wat ’n mens moet doen (ná die tyd) – om te draai en te lag vir jou eie vrese (terwyl jy regmaak vir nog). - Nielen de Klerk

Vrees is meestal ’n nagmerrie (see what I did there?)

Runaway success: Despite a howling Cape Doctor making an unwelcome appearance, thousands took to Cape Town city centre’s streets for the 37th edition of the Community Chest Twilight Run on Tuesday 3 December. Of the over 5 000 entrants, around 3 800 braved the wind to make the 2019 Twilight Run a great success. The overwhelming support from Capetonians and visitors alike for the gender-based violence theme enabled Community Chest to present cheques to two beneficiaries: The Justice Desk, represented by executive director Jessica Dewhurst, and The Social Makeover, represented by founder Farhana Parker. An additional special Siyakubona Award went to the Women Lead Movement, accepted by founder Melene Rossouw.

Kleinsake se sak ergste geraak Ons hoor elke dag hoe beurtkrag die ekonomie kniehalter en groot industrieë tot stilstand bring, maar die ouens wat dit die ergste voel is kleinsake- en tuisondernemings.

Die kafee op die hoek kan nog kontant ontvang en hul verkope met die hand aanteken (soos in toeka se tyd), maar wat van die tannie met haar naaimasjien wat manalleen tuis teen ’n streng spertyd moet werk om trourokke, aanddrag of ander uitrustings betyds klaar te kry sodat sy einde van die maand kos op die tafel kan sit?

Die eienaar van ’n kleinsake-onderneming het eendag aan my genoem hy het ’n kragopwekker, maar die ding is so onstabiel, dit gaan hom meer kos as dit sy masjien laat blaas. So nou sit hulle maar in die donker en bid om genoeg bestellings uit te kry om minstens einde van die maand vier werknemers se salarisse te kan betaal.

CH Durbanville

Moenie almal op straat geld gee Wanneer sal mense leer om nie vir bedelaars geld te gee nie? Ek het onlangs weer verby ’n bekende bedel-gesig geloop terwyl hy hom in ’n hoekie met een of ander middel inspuit (ek twyfel of dit insulien was).

Dié man is een van die ouens wat dikwels by die verkeersligte naby Tygervallei-winkelsentrum staan en penne verkoop.

Daar’s soveel goeie opsies as jy mense op straat regtig wil help (en nie in die afgrond in nie, want dis wat jou geld doen).

Jy kan ’n instansie maandeliks borg. Of gee vir hulle ’n sopkombuis-koepon. ’n Boek met 10 koepons is teen R50 per boekie by Mes in Bellville beskikbaar. Een koepon verseker die draer daarvan kry ’n bord kos.

Diegene wat dit regtig nodig het, is altyd baie dankbaar daarvoor. Dis beskikbaar by Mes se kantore te Daviesstraat 3, Bellville.

Indien jy geld by jou het en by ’n verkeerslig wil uitgee, koop dan eerder ’n Big Issue-tydskrif. Dis ’n wonderlike inisiatief waardeur die verkopers ’n deel van die opbrengs kry. Dit maak van die straatverkopers entrepreneurs. Boonop kry jy dan lekker leesstof teen ’n billike prys.

AMANDA BADENHORST Stellenberg

Let us end femicide in 2020 Let’s be honest, 2019 has been a rollercoaster ride for South Africans, especially women.

Femicide often topped the Twitter trends lists after one more woman went missing or was found dead at the hands of a man they knew.

As a man, I am disgusted that I am most probably put in the same “men are trash” category with these men that commit such hateful crimes.

But then again, as a gay man, I am relieved that I am seen differently from “straight” men.

You see, growing up in a small township, I was often mocked for being different from other boys. I hated running after a soccer ball or playing with miniature cars, but I did that anyway because I did not want to be teased.

But playing with the boys did not stop them from teasing me because I sucked at those games, I would rather spend my time watch-

ing YoTv, reading a book or helping my grandmother cook. Back to the femicide issue, I am relieved as a gay man that women are more comfortable around me.

Having a drink with my lady friends, they feel comfortable enough to leave their drinks with me because they know that I would not, in any way, try to take advantage of them.

I can pick them up to go out and drop them off at their houses in the early hours of the morning and not once would they feel that I would abduct and/or kill them.

You see, stories of women like Anene Booysen, Karabo Mokoena, Uyinene Mrwetyana and many other women who have died at the hands of men have made men look like creatures. My wish for 2020 is that men do better, gay men included. I hope we do better to protect women and teach young girls that they should not sacrifice their safety for the sake of love.

kende gestorwenheid van jou koolstof gevulde longe nie.

Jou keuses is beperk, want tussen jou veg-of-vlug-instinkte is die vlug-opsie weggeneem deur die Robbeneiland van die middelste gedeelte van die agterste sitplek.

Vladderende hande sirkuleer net die swewende dood, wat dan weer kom om sinusse te verwoes en die emalje van jou gebit af te vreet. En jy besef dat jou slukderm ook vir ’n wyle oop was en die allesverterende rookmis dalk, net dalk, met ’n peristaltiese beweging jou ingewande ongenooid binnegedring het.

Hierdie gewaarwording laat die laaste linie van verdediging teen die aanslae verkrummel en met een groot asemteug word die giftigste lug geadem. Ek en jy, as Suid-Afrikaners, ken daai gevoel.

ASEMLOSE Kaapstad

En toe ontken hy asemloos skuld

As ’n motoris wat daagliks die rit van Bellville deur Plattekloof tot in Table View moet onderneem, is dit uiters frustrerend om soggens en smiddae byna twee uur in verkeer te sit net omdat die krag afgeskakel is en die verkeersligte buite werking is.

Talle motoriste weet boonop nie hoe die “first come, first served”-konsep werk nie. Dis eenvoudig: As jy eerste stilhou, mag jy eerste ry.

Ek hoop ten sterkste dat die kragkrisis binnekort iets van die verlede sal wees.

Die tyd in verkeer is tyd wat ’n mens eerder met jou gesin of familie kon deurbring, of ten minste beter kon benut. Dis regtig onregverdig dat ons as publiek vir die foute van die regering moet boet.

ONGELUKKIG Table View

Was jy al ooit saam met twee broers en twee grootmense in ’n motor sonder lugversorging vasgevang? En dan los een van hulle ’n windjie en die ruite kan nie afgedraai word nie, want dit reën buite?

Kon jy voel hoe die laaste bruikbare suurstof in jou longe opraak en jou neus brand van die onaardige reuk wat onder druk in die motor hang? Dan sien jy die beskuldigende vinger van een van die grootmense in jou rigting wys, omdat jy eens, lank lank gelede jouself skuldig gemaak het aan hierdie onwelriekende wandaad. Ken jy daardie gevoel?

Jy weet nie of jou asemlose ontkenning van skuld swaarder weeg as die domkragdruk-

Beurtkrag laat haar lank in verkeer sit

Duo combine to shine for Bothasig SEAN CAMPBELL

T

wo home runs by Dayle Feldtman helped Bothasig Knights maintain their unbeaten run with a 10-6 victory over second-placed Bellville Tygers in their Cape Town Baseball Federation fixture played at the PP Smit Sports field on Saturday 7 December.

Feldtman batted 3/4 including the two home runs, combined with Jared Elario’s eleven strikeouts set up the victory for Bothasig.

Feldtman first homered in the third inning and then again in the nineth inning.

Teammate Justin Lazarus also homered in the third inning.

For Tygers, Jonathan Phillips also homered in the third inning and Wesley Greeff in

the sixth inning. Benjamin Smith (3/5) and Darren Boltman (3/4) were Bothasig’s other top hitters. Jonathan Phillips 3/4, Wesley Greeff (2/4) and Haydn Matthee (2/5) did well for Tygers.

Elario pitched six innings, giving up seven hits and walking two.

He was replaced by former VOB Macaw player Kieran Moore. Moore pitched three innings, giving up two hits, one walk and striking out two hitters.

Tygers started with usually reliable Kevin Townend who gave up six hits and six walks in his 4.2 innings pitched.

Anthony Phillips pitched 3.1 innings with Jonathan Phillips pitching for the last out.

The win gives Bothasig a four-point lead at the top of the log.

At the Rooikrans Sports field in Grassy

Park, home team Grassy Park Crusaders squandered a 4-0 lead to lose 7-4 to VOB Macaws on Saturday.

Crusaders made six errors compared to the three from VOB. Crusaders also recorded four double plays compared to the two of VOB. Derick Baylis (4/6), Lance Gordon (2/5) and Josh Rich (2/5) came out top for VOB with Liam Samuels (2/4), Sergill Thompson (2/4) and Fabian Matthee (2/4) hitting well for Crusaders.

Both teams utilised three pitchers.

In other Major League results, the home teams took the points.

Athlone A’s beat Van der Stel 9-3 and Maitland Giants had the better of Durbanville Villains 13-2 in a match mixed with controversy and emotions.

In the Promotion League, Helderberg Pirates beat Thistle 10-2 in a close game at Radloff Park in Somerset West.

Seven runs from five hits, one error, a walk and a hit by pitch swung the game in Pirates favour after they held a slender 3-2 lead.

Kieran Clackett and Darryn Chalmers shared the pitching duties for Pirates. Revan Plaatjies, Gavin Jefferies and Keagan Watson did duty for Thistle.

In other Promotion League results, Lansdowne Eagles beat Silvertree Titans 14-4 and Westridge Yankees beating Battswood 21-5.

The upcoming weekend sees teams playing on Saturday 14 December and Monday 16 December, which is a public holiday.

Thereafter the teams take a short festive break.

Surprise personal grading for MMA studio Learners at the CJA Jiu-Jitsu Academy perform push-ups during their grading ceremony recently.

Jiu-Jitsu grading takes place The biggest Jiu-Jitsu grading to be held in South Africa transpired over the weekend of 29 and 30 November.

More than 238 people ranging from five years to over 50 graded for from first (white) belt to black belt.

Combat Jiu-Jitsu Academy (CJA), the oldest Jiu-Jitsu school in South Africa, hosted the event.

A typical grading lasts about an hour, but someone wanting to grade for their black belt needs to do so over five days.

This year two students graded for their black belts while one graded for a brown belt.

CJA has a strong ethos of giving back, and once again, a donations trailer was placed outside the grading venue, Durbanville Primary School.

The trailer was filled by the generous parents and students of CJA, and the donations will be given to U-Turn homeless ministries.

The Boa Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) studio had a surprise personal grading with Prof Nathan Raaths recently.

“We are an affiliation of Prof Marcello Monteiro de la Riva system of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu,” says Graham “The Boa” Turner.

He explains that, at present, there are only three black belts in this system on the African continent and that he is honoured to become the latest black belt in this system.

Turner has been involved in martial arts for 35 years and has a fifth degree black belt in combat Jiu Jitsu, having competed in the 1990s in bare knuckle vale Judo competitions, moving into mixed martial arts and professional Thai boxing.

“The boa studio is a very friendly, no ego based place where one can learn great

martial arts, de-stress and meet new friends. We are open all through December except on the public holidays. We have a saying here – ‘no matter you as big as a house, small as a mouse, tall as a wall or round as a ball; the boa studio has a place for you.’ I am so proud of every one who graded us,” he says.

Biggest youth T20 tournament set to start

The donations trailer.

Awqaf SA, in association with Primrose Cricket Club, will host the fourth annual T20 youth cricket tournament from Monday 16 December to Thursday 19 December.

A record 68 teams from the u.11 to u.17 age categories for girls as well as 150 mini-cricketers will take to the field in what has become the largest T20 Youth Cricket Tournament of its kind in South Africa.

This year’s event is of added significance as it will commemorate the 50th anniversary of the death in detention of Imam Abdullah Haron.

“Imam Haron was not only a religious leader and political activist who gave his life in advocating social justice, but he was also an avid sportsman who played a significant role in non-racial sport,” Awqaf deputy CEO and tournament convenor, Mickaeel Collier, explained.

The T20 Youth Cricket Tournament started in 2016 and is hosted in association with Primrose Cricket Club and held under the patronage of Cricket South Africa vice-president, Beresford Williams, and Western

Province Cricket Association CEO, Nabeal Dien.

Collier said the tournament is aimed at giving equal opportunity to our youth, irrespective of their economic and social backgrounds.

“In this day and age so much participation in sporting events is reserved for only those who have the funds. Our tournament is a family-friendly event that aims to embody all the positive values of post-apartheid South Africa… we have deliberately chosen to remain at grassroots level.”

“The four-day tournament aims to promote social cohesion and is designed to give the young players a sense of cricket heritage that instills within them the values of social justice via sport,” he said. He called on the community to come out and support the young cricketers who will play at the Primrose Cricket Club and neighbouring fields in Chukker Road in Kenwyn and Rylands.

VRegular updates will be posted to the official Facebook and Instagram pages @T20YouthCricket and online at www.awqafsa.org.za.

Ready, set and go for this year’s 37th annual end-of-season endurance race for lightweight motorcycles.

PHOTO: COLIN BROWN

End-of-season race this weekend The 37th annual end-of-season endurance race for lightweight motorcycles on Saturday 14 December, on Killarney International Raceway’s 1km karting circuit, is set to provide all the thrills and spills – usually involving some famous faces - for which this long-running event is known.

The eight-hour race began as a two-hour experiment at the end of the 1983 short circuit season, to see whether the temperamental little two-strokes which were at that time standard for this discipline would last long enough at race pace to bring tactics into play.

They did, but the race almost immediately became a two-hour sprint, and was soon stretched to four, then six and finally eight hours. Today, nearly all the entries are drawn from the CBR150 onemake series, and have to conform to the strict class rules.

With a few safety-related exceptions, the machines must be mechanically standard – which makes the racing even more intense.

Also permitted are 200cc Chinese-built motorcycles, which must also be mechanically standard, and two-stroke singles of between 48cc and 85cc, which may be freely modified; the use of 80cc motocross engines in circuit racing chassis is also permitted, provided they were made before 2007.

Entry is open to teams of two, three or four riders, and no competitor may ride for longer than 45 minutes at a stretch – with a minimum break of 10 minutes before they go out again. Riders must be at least 13 years old on the day of the race – except that the organisers may grant permission to race to riders from 11 years and upwards, as long as they can provide proof of at least two seasons’ circuit-racing experience.

However, you’ll also see teams of former champions such as John Craig, who has competed in this event every year since its inception in 1983. The eight-hour is known

for attracting top-class competitors, including former Grand Prix riders, from all over the world, as well as the cream of South African Superbike, Super600 and Super300 contenders. Among the entries are two from the UK, underscoring the international flavour of this longrunning event. It is one of the few motorcycle races in the world to retain the traditional endurance racing “Le Mans Start”, with the motorcycles lined up on one side of the track, each held upright by a crew member, and the riders lined up on the other.

When the flag drops the riders sprint across the track, fling a leg over the saddle, start the bike and ride away.

At one stage in the early 2000s the RST team qualified on pole for several years in a row, only to have their no 17 CBR150 refuse to start, resulting in their bike being last away. Not that it stopped them from winning – it just made the race more interesting for the spectators. The top crews take the eighthour very seriously. Each year motorcycles are built specially for this race, and international riders form “dream teams” to try to beat the local hotshots. This is, however, a punishing event for riders and machines; the top teams will complete up to 550 laps of the onekilometre circuit during the eight hours, and even the top teams will crash at least once during that time. The best part of it for spectators, however, is that the pits are open to the public all day. The New Pits Lounge and Karting Cafe are also open throughout practice and racing for light meals and drinks, with live music and a beer garden offering plenty of shade, so make a day of it. Gates open at 07:30am, racing starts at 10:00 and goes on nonstop till 18:00. Entry is R80 for adults, R20 for scholars under 16 and free for children under 12.

VMore information from Janice Linaker at 083 235 3476 or janicelinaker@gmail.com.

The eight-hour race will see riders complete up to 550 laps of the one-kilometre circuit.

Coming off a tournament victory at the Dubai Sevens last week, Seabelo Senatla, who returned to the Blitzboks team this season, will hope to help the Blitzboks emulate their success when they take to the field at the Cape Town stadium this weekend for the South African leg of World Rugby’s Sevens World Series. The tournament hosts last won this event in 2015, when the tournament was first staged at Cape Town stadium.

Brakke byna bo SAREL BURGER Brackenfell en Durbanville se eerste krieketspanne het met oorwinnings die afgelope naweek in die jongste reeks Premierliga-krieketwedstryde in die WP hul plek naby die bopunt van die punteleer verstewig.

Die Brakke en Durbies is albei kort op die hakke van Rondebosch, die huidige voorloper.

En indien Brackenfell die komende Saterdag met Rondebosch afreken, kan die Brakke vir eers die leisels oorneem.

Die Universiteit van Wes-Kaapland, wat weens die universiteitsvakansie nie in aksie is nie, het net soos Durbanville en Brackenfell ook nog net een keer in die huidige eendagkompetisie verloor en sal vorentoe in gesprek wil tree oor die wennerstrofee.

Knap kolfwerk deur Hayes van

den Berg (66), Jean Marais (65) en André Malan (64*) het Saterdag die aanvoorwerk gedoen vir Durbanville (282/6) se oorwinning oor WPklub (271/7) terwyl Brackenfell met sewe paaltjies teen Victoria (222) geseëvier het. Dit was hoofsaaklik te danke aan Morné Willemse (76*), Michael Loubser (44*) en Christoffer Dent (39) se flink kolfwerk.

In die eerste liga was al ses spanne van die Tygerbergstreek by naelskraapse uitslae betrokke. Die enigste wenners was NoordelikesGoodwood en Tygerberg-klub.

Noordelikes (217) het Kraaifontein (189) van ’n oorwinning weerhou met behulp van goeie bydraes deur veral Wade Cupido (65) en Michael Nesbitt (4/34).

Vir die Kraaie was Craig Thyssen (86) en Garth Madden (49) mooi op stryk met die kolf. ’n Goeie spanpoging het Tyger-

berg (173/8) net-net met twee paaltjies die pyp laat rook teen Kuilsrivier (172/9) vir wie Cheslyn Batt (55) en Sheldon Adams (4/29) blink vertoon het.

Milnerton se Matthew Kleinveldt (120) sal met reg ongelukkig kan voel dat sy skitterende kolfwerk nie genoegsaam was om Milnerton (232/9) teen Groenpunt (243) te laat wen nie. Edgemead (165) moes die knie buig teen United (168/7) nadat Bradley Johnson (43) en Dylan Verreyne (31) nie behoorlike ondersteuning van hul kolfmaats gekry het nie.

Die program vir (die voorlaaste reeks wedstryde vanjaar) die komende Saterdag (tuisspan eerste) is: Rondebosch t. Brackenfell, Strandfontein t Durbanville, Langa t Bellville in die Premierliga; Kraaifontein t Ottoman, Kuilsrivier t Milnerton, Primrose t Edgemead in die eerste liga.
