ie dag wat Bianca Fourie (12) oorlede is, het die son in skakerings van pers gesak.

Dit was haar gunstelingkleur.

En nou vang sy pers skoenlappers in die hemel.

So vertel haar ma, Michele, oor haar dogter wat verlede Sondag om 18:20 oorlede is.

Bianca, wat in Oakdale gebly het, het onder meer aan outo-immuun-hepatitis gely, ’n siekte waar die imuunstelsel die lewerselle aanval en inflammasie in die lewer veroorsaak.

TygerBurger het voorheen oor Bianca berig (“Skaars hond vir siek meisie,” 27 Maart 2019) toe haar sussie Theandi haar beenmurg vir haar geskenk het.

Dit was rondom dié tyd dat ’n weldoener ’n skaars hond aan haar gegee het, nadat hul hond verlore geraak het.

Die proses rondom beenmurg-skenking het gemaak dat sy chemoterapie moes ontvang en haar hare het uitgeval. Daarna het sy al beter geword. “September 2019 was haar beste tyd,” sê Michele hartseer.

Bianca het egter aan ’n legio ander siektes, soos nefrotiese simdroom, akute miëloïede leukemie en ernstige aplastiese anemie ook gely. Sy het later al sieker geword.

Aan die einde van 2019 het sy gesê sy wil nie meer chemo kry nie en haar ouers het haar ondersteun.In Julie 2020 het die gesin haar na die Life Shine Wellness-sentrum in Somerset-Wes geneem.

Dis ook hier waar die gesin Woensdag haar lewensviering gehou het.

Michele vertel sy het spesiaal ’n vrolike rok gekry om Bianca se opgewekte persoon-

Bianca op ’n verjaarsdagpartytjie. likheid te vier. “Sy was nooit ’n somber mens nie.”

Bianca was mal oor sing en musiek, vertel sy. “En sy was so slim.”

Michele wil ander aanmoedig om hul kinders te koester terwyl hulle kan, “want dit is kosbaar. It can all change in an instant.”

“Haar legacy sal voortleef in haar liedjies wat sy gesing het en die lig wat sy op aarde gehad het.”

Enkele dae voor haar dood in Tygerberghospitaal het sy nog aan Michele gesê sy is nou reg. “Jesus het my nodig.”

Michele het gesê hulle het haar meer nodig. Die volgende dag het Bianca dit herhaal.

Later het sy gesê sy wil doodgaan, maar sy weet nie hoe nie. Haar ma het gesê Jesus sal haar help. Daarna is sy oorlede.

Michele het altyd na Bianca verwys as haar “warrior princess”, sê sy.

“Nou is sy my ‘angel princess’.”

Bianca word oorleef deur Michele, haar pa, Lennard, Theandi en broers Simeon en Josua.

Die Fouries wil almal bedank wat hul ondersteun het of iets bygedra het oor die jare.

Ella Odendaal (links) en Emma Claassen, albei vyf jaar oud, was onder duisende graad R-leerders wat die eerste treë van hul skoolloopbaan gegee het toe die skole Maandag heropen het. Ella en Emma is al maats vandat hulle twee jaar oud is en is nou ook saam in graad R by die Pre-primêre Skool Kenridge.

Adventure athlete publishes book ESMÉ ERASMUS

D

urbanville-based adventure athlete, Jamie Marais has summited many a challenge – the latest publishing an autobiography about his adventure endeavours.

His book, Determination, his first, was published in December.

Marais (44), a corporate accounts manager, became known for his participation in extreme adventures – from summiting Table Mountain 22 times in 28 hours over two days in August 2016, almost twice the height of Everest, in support of the Sabrina Love Foundation for special needs children, to mountain biking 360km non-stop in 36 hours among the Big Five in Kariega Game Reserve in the Eastern Cape in August last year – the first and only person to do this.

He was metres away from the white rhino cow Thandi – famous for her survival of a poacher attack in March 2012 – and her young calf.

and life-changing moments I have experienced and shares the life lessons learned from each of those experiences. I also share many practical tips and tools on how people can help themselves to overcome challenges and harness their inner strength,” he says.

After experimenting with recreational drugs at about 14 years of age, his turning point came when he had a bad drug experience. “It shook me back to reality and I made the concrete decision to turn my life around for health and fitness,” he says.

“I have always been involved in adventure sports like surfing, but my greatest passion at school was road cycling.”

He won the provincial championships when he was 17 and then competed on a top ranked elite road cycling team later in life in his thirties.

His interest in extreme adventures started about five years ago when he turned 40, after he was offered an opportunity to emigrate to Canada.

He went across and looked at the opportunity but decided not to pursue it.

“Despite the challenges, South Africa is really great. I came back with an appreciation for what we have here and also an awareness of the challenge we face,” he says.

“I wanted to do something that could help people believe in themselves and realise that nothing is ever too big to face and overcome,” he says.

The feedback on his book was incredible, Marais says. “It brings a message of hope and of overcoming your challenges.”

The first edition was sold out in four weeks and is now being reprinted. Ever since he has been regularly invited as motivational speaker.

He is now busy with a sequel to his book, which focuses mainly on his “Jamie Rides 4 Rhinos” mountain biking adventure in Kariega Game Reserve.

“This book will tell the story of my epic adventure, but if my first book was about finding the silver lining, this one is about taming the beast, facing your fears and making the best of your circumstances,” he says.

V The book can be ordered on his website at jamiemarais.com and will soon be available in bookshops.

‘Koeberg containment building is safe’ Eskom is fully cognisant of the risk of corrosion of civil structures at the Koeberg Power Station, which is a result of the station being located in a corrosive environment.

This Eskom says in a statement as ongoing testing on the Koeberg containment buildings, which house the reactor and associated nuclear components, have proven the structures to be capable of withstanding the most severe accident. This containment programme has been managed closely since construction.

“The tests comprise quarterly and annual measurements to identify any abnormal movement (such as expansions, settling, etc.), visual inspections to identify physical degradation (such as cracks, spalling, efflo-

rescence) and by performing the integrated leak rate tests (ILRT) on a 10-yearly basis.

The results of the ILRTs have shown conclusively that the design functions of the containment buildings are met.

“The test results of the ILRT were also compared with international plants of similar design and it was found to be in-line with industry norms. The ILRT represents the worst case accident scenario and proves the containment buildings to be capable of withstanding the most severe accident,” Eskom says.

The main concern to the long term system health of the containment buildings is the deterioration of the externally exposed concrete surfaces due to chloride ingress that

causes reinforcement corrosion and the potential effect on the prestressing tendons.

Concrete repairs have been implemented to reinstate areas of the external facades where spalling and delamination occurred due to reinforcement corrosion.

“A long term solution to prevent rebar and tendon corrosion due to chloride ingress is the implementation of an induced cathodic protection system,” Eskom explains.

The information from the ongoing testing, inspections and maintenance is included in the assessments being implemented as part of the work required for Koeberg’s life extension and Eskom remains confident that the issue is fully under control.

Boot blink uit in drama, kuns NIELEN DE KLERK @nielendk

H

aar dramajuffrou sê sy’s een van die talentvolste aktrises wat sy nog gesien het.

En dit blyk die beoordelaars by die South African Championships of Performing Arts (Sacopa) stem saam.

Want Tine Boot (17) het nie net een medalje by Desember se prysuitdeling losgeslaan nie, maar ’n allemintige 10 goue medaljes (95%+) gekry. Sy is ook aangewys as die algehele wenner vir leerders tussen 16 en 24 jaar.

En om alles te kroon het sy sommer ook drie medaljes losgeslaan vir die twee skilderye wat sy ingeskryf het.

Sy sou later vanjaar saam met die SuidAfrikaanse span in Los Angeles gaan deelneem het, maar hierdie planne is weens die pandemie eers op ys.

Boot, wat in die Hoërskool D.F. Malan is en in Welgemoed woon, is die kleindogter van die aktrise Marga van Rooy (Vetkoekpaleis, Egoli en Villa Rosa) wat in 2017 oorlede is.

“Sy was fantasties,” vertel Boot. “Sy het so baie passie gehad! Van my optredes, voel ek, dra ek aan haar op.”

Sy word ook geïnspireer deur die harde werk van haar ouers, Jana, ’n kunstenaar, en Johan, ’n sagteware-ingenieur. Sy het ook ’n ouer broer en suster, Daniël en Ester.

As dit by kuns kom, word sy geïnspireer deur surrealistiese en realistiese kunstenaars. “Musiek is ’n massive inspirasie vir my kuns.”

Hoewel haar ma ’n kunstenaar is, het sy nie by haar kunsklasse geloop nie. Sy het meestal haarself geleer en onder meer ’n boek, Drawing for Dummies, in die laerskool bestudeer.

Drama bly egter haar eerste liefde.

Sy wil graag ná skool oorsee drama gaan studeer en dan in die filmbedryf werk.

By Sacopa moes sy in ’n verskeidenheid dramastyle optree – van klassiek tot melodramaties en realisties.

“Broadway” is sover nog die uitdagendste. Hoewel sy ’n dansagtergrond het, het sy eers verlede jaar met sanglesse begin.

FCD open for job readiness courses Fisantekraal Centre for Development (FCD) started the new year without delay, with its first job readiness and frail care classes in full swing.

“We are relieved that we can continue, al­though with caution and reduced class sizes, under the current Covid-19 restrictions,” says Jane Gelderman, chief executive officer of FCD. Registration is also open for several other courses.

FCD opened on 18 January and started its first job readiness course on 19 January already. “We train at our centre in Durbanville (at Shop 9, Daniel Centre, 3 New Way), but we also train at various satellite locations to reach as many people as we can.

This includes Fisantekraal and Klipheuwel,” Gelderman says.

FCD presents various skills development programmes on an ongoing basis throughout the year. “Our theme for this year revolves around our calling to be ‘ambassadors of hope’,” she says. The organisation aims to restore dignity and build self-esteem and self-confidence in unemployed people through various skills development programmes. “Our work is fully funded through dona­tions, grants and fund-raising campaigns. This enables us to develop and equip those who are unemployed and unable to afford the full cost of the training,” Gelderman says.

It is in this spirit that they are looking for job shadow opportunities in the hospitality industry for their students. “We welcome restaurants, cafe’s, laundromats, hotels or B&B’s to connect with us. There is no cost involved for companies or businesses who want to become part of our programme –

just an opportunity for our students to job shadow for three days.”

FCD also has a specific need for its meeting room to be spruced up. “If this speaks to something you as a company or group of friends would want to take on, let us know.

We remain eternally grateful to our partners, volunteers and donors for your continual support so that we can do the good work set out before us,” she says.

Registrations are currently open for the following courses: . nine-week, part-time bake for profit and business skills programmes at R300 (actual course cost is R6 500), commencing on 12 April . eight-week English with confidence programme with two classes per week at R50 (actual cost R4 000), commencing 13 April . three-week, full time job readiness programme at R200 (actual cost R4 000), commencing 10 March. This is a pre-requisite programme for delegates wishing to participate in the office basics or frail care programmes. . 13-week full-time frail care programme at R500 (actual cost R7 500), commencing on 3 May . 10-week full-time office basics programme at R300 (actual cost R5 000), commencing on 28 April Delegates who do not reside in a vulnerable community or earn an income over R5 000 per month will be required to pay a percentage of the actual course cost.

Contact FCD on 021 975 7764 or send an email to partners@fisantekraal.org.za to become part of the programme.

Blouberg Rotary Club donates care packages T he Rotary Club of Blouberg recently raised funds within 48 hours to donate 110 care packages to Milnerton Medicli-

nic.

This after various hospitals have put out appeals to charities within their areas, asking if they could assist with care packages, containing some treats and sustenance to help through their long shifts.

Lynne Wade from the club says during the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic, healthcare workers have been working tirelessly around the clock, seven days a week.

“In Milnerton, Michelle Korevaar from Change Makers Hub (CMH) reacted to Milnerton Mediclinic’s plea and asked the local community to assist with donations. CMH is

a non-profit organisation that connects people with causes who need help, catalysing change between everyday people who want to help to those who need it the most,” Wade says. In addition, another additional 40 care packages were packed for Tygerberg Hospital as part of a joint project between the Rotary Clubs of Blouberg, Oostenberg, Bellville, Durbanville, Tygerberg and Goodwood.

“For only R70, one care package containing a 500ml Energade, a coffee, hot chocolate, a cappuccino sachet, a packet of biscuits, a bag of jelly sweets, a bag of peanuts and raisins and some hand cream, together with a thank you note – can make a small difference to a tired healthcare worker, letting them know that we care and that we appreciate

their dedication and hard work,” Wade says.

Following the success of this project, The Rotary Club of Blouberg will continue raising funds, together with CMH, in an effort to provide care packages to the healthcare workers at other hospitals.

“This month we want to donate to staff at the Brooklyn Chest Hospital, the Tygerberg Children’s Hospital ICU and the Fresenius Medical Care dialysis centre,” Wade told TygerBurger.

If anyone would like to make a donation to continue providing care packages for health workers, or to find out more about the Rotary Club of Blouberg, visit their Facebook Page at www.facebook.com/pg/rotaryclubblouberg.

Kinderhuis wil hande vat met gemeenskap ESMÉ ERASMUS

Johanna Strauss, nuwe hoof van die Durbanvillekinderhuis, met van die jong inwonertjies. Hul name word weerhou vir hul eie beskerming.

D

ie spreekwoord dit kos ’n “village” om ’n kind groot te maak is dalk nou al holrug gery, maar steeds só waar as dit kom by die Durbanville-kinderhuis.

Johanna Strauss, nuwe hoof sedert Desember verlede jaar, glo sy en haar personeel is nie alleen in die stryd om die kinderhuis se deure oop te hou nie en die kinders die beste versorging moontlik te gee.

“Die Durbanville-kinderhuis en Durbanville-gemeenskap is onlosmaakbaar deel van mekaar, sê sy.

“Ek voel baie sterk oor die vennootskappe met ons gemeenskap. Ons wil die gemeenskap as geheel selfs meer betrokke kry – só dat hulle voel hulle is regtig betrokke by die kinderhuis. Hulle moet ook trots voel op die kinderhuis,” sê sy.

“Die gemeenskap van Durbanville is meestal gegoed en ek dink die kinderhuis herinner mense aan ’n ander wêreld waarin mense swaarkry. Mense moet weet hulle hoef nie honderd kilometer te ry om na ander mense uit te reik nie; die kinderhuis is reg op hul voorstoep,” sê sy.

“Baie inwoners van Durbanville het al 100% ingekoop by die kinderhuis, ook kerke.

Ons kerke is regtig geweldig betrokke – met skenkings, maar ook goed soos om dagboodskappies vir die kinders te stuur.

“Die NG kerk Durbanville het byvoorbeeld vir ons ’n addisionele ruimte gegee vir ons boekverkopings en bied dit nou in hul tuin aan, omdat Covid-19-regulasies dit onmoontlik maak op ons eie perseel,” sê Strauss.

As dit nie was vir die #R50-veldtog wat die kinderhuis gedurende die inperking begin het nie, en die dawerende sukses daarvan nie, sou die kinderhuis nie sy lopende uitgawes kon dek nie, sê sy.

Strauss het mense aangemoedig om by die veldtog betrokke te raak. “Dit kos net R50 om deel te neem. As elke inwoner wat kan, net R50 gee, sal dit die kinderhuis vir ’n jaar aan die gang hou,” sê sy.

“Mense hoef ook nie net kindergoed te skenk nie, maar selfs ou meubels, kombuisgoed, klere vir volwassenes – enigiets wat ons in ons winkel kan verkoop sodat ons nu-

we skoolklere vir ons kinders kan koop,” sê sy.

“Covid-19 het baie mense laat besef dat hulle by hul gemeenskap betrokke wil wees.

Die kinderhuis het iets unieks om te bied ook aan ander. Vrywilligers vertel dat hulle tevore depressief gevoel het, maar ’n nuwe passie gekry het en dat ’n hele nuwe wêreld vir hulle oopgegaan het vandat hulle in ons tweedehandsewinkel werk,” sê sy.

“Mense kan op enige manier bydra. Kom braai vir die kinders. Sodra ’n mens in kontak kom met die kinders, laat dit jou goed voel oor jouself; dis nou maar net so,” sê sy.

Die kinderhuis het baie uitdagings daarin dat die kinders vanjaar in 34 verskillende skole is.

“Plasings in skole is ’n enorme uitdaging en ons wil regtig ’n beroep op meer plaaslike skole in ’n 10 km-radius doen om ons kinders in te neem. Dit sal hierdie logistieke nagmerrie uitskakel om die kinders elke dag by die skool te kry. Dit raak ’n al hoe groter uitdaging,” sê sy.

Maar dis nie net geld wat die kinders nodig het nie. “Die kinders benodig daardie ‘tannie’ wat hulle spesiaal laat voel – iemand wat ’n mentor vir hulle kan wees,” sê Melanie Stipp, bemarkings- en geleentheidskoördineerder, wat self in die Durbanville-kin-

derhuis was vandat sy vyf jaar oud was.

“Daar was mense wat in my geglo het toe ek nie in myself geglo het nie,” sê sy. “’n Mens het net een persoon nodig wat in jou glo en dit maak die wêreld se verskil. As kinderhuiskind moes ek heeltyd veg vir aanvaarding. Ek vertrou myself vandag nog nie genoeg om nuwe uitdagings te kan aanpak nie. In my kop sê ek vir my myself ek gaan mense teleurstel,” sê sy.

“Ons kinders benodig vrywilligers om hulle met hul huiswerk te help. Mense kan ook by ’n spesifieke kind betrokke raak Dit verg egter 100% toewyding. As die persoon hom skielik onttrek, is dit vir daardie kind baie traumaties – dis dubbele verwerping en teleurstelling,” sê Stipp.

“Die kinders is met min tevrede – hulle soek net aandag, liefde en aanvaarding. Ek onthou byvoorbeeld hoe ’n blikkie kondensmelk as kinderhuiskind my enkele grootste treat was.

“Ons kinders droom groot, maar hul wêreld is maar klein. Ons soek mense wat hulle aan die beroepswêreld kan blootstel – dalk skaduwerk doen by verskillende werksplekke,” sê Stipp.

Strauss beaam dit. “As ’n kind vir ’n lang periode in ’n sorgsentrum soos in die Durbanville-kinderhuis versorg word, vind hy

dit moeilik om sy voete in die beroepslewe te vind. Die afwesigheid van omgee-families, asook twyfel aan hul eie vermoëns, speel ’n groot rol.

“Indien hierdie kinders nie leiding ontvang nie, is die kans goed dat hulle sal terugval na die lewe wat hulle ken, wat gekenmerk word deur werkloosheid en negatiewe sosiale gedrag,” sê sy.

Om hiermee te help, bied die kinderhuis ’n oorbruggingsprogram aan waarin hulle graad 10- tot 12-leerders lewensvaardighede leer soos hoe om aansoek te doen vir ’n werk en hoe om hul geldsake te hanteer.

“Ons ondersteun gemiddeld sewe van ons skoolverlaters per jaar finansieel om verder te gaan studeer aan tersiêre inrigtings, universiteite en ambagskole. Ons betaal vir al hul studies, verblyf, asook sakgeld.

“Ons bied ook huisvesting vir twee jaar aan skoolverlaters, wat geen ander heenkome het nadat hulle die kinderhuis verlaat het nie. In hierdie tyd ondergaan hulle indiensopleiding en ons help hulle om werk te kry,” sê sy.

Vir Strauss was die pos as hoof van die kinderhuis, waarin sy baie meer direk met die kinders werk, soos om ’n kringloop te voltooi.

Hoewel sy ’n graad met maatskaplike werk as een van haar hoofvakke behaal het, het sy nooit as maatskaplike werker gewerk nie. Sy het haar loopbaan begin by die destydse departement kultuursake, waar sy gehelp het om uitstallings, musiekkonserte, asook gesellighede aan te bied.

Sy het toe betrokke geraak by die reëlings van die Whale of a Festival in Hermanus en die Duitse Fees. Dit het gelei tot ’n pos as skakelbeampte van die William Fehr-Versameling en later in bestuur, bemarking en kommunikasie met die amalgamasie van die 11 Iziko-museums in Kaapstad.

Strauss het in 2009 by die Durbanville-kinderhuis begin werk as hoof van bemarking en fondswerwing. “Ek kan my ondervinding in bemarking gebruik en só ’n verskil in die lewe van kinders maak,” sê sy.

Tweede oes Kiwi-wyn land vir Diemersdal se Marlborough Die tweede oes vir Diemersdal se Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, wat gemaak word op Nieu-Seeland se Suideiland, het hier geland om plaaslike wynliefhebbers die uitbundige geure van dié kultivar uit die Land van die Lang Wit Wolk te laat proe.

Diemersdal se eerste Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc het aan die einde van 2019 sy buiging gemaak – ’n wyn afkomstig van Marlborough, sowat 11 000 km van die Diemersdal-wynlandgoed.

Dit was juis tydens ’n besoek aan Marlborough in 2016 dat Thys Louw, eienaar-wynmaker van Diemersdal, versot geraak het op die Nieu-Seelandse sauvignon blancwyne en hy besluit het om ’n wyn te maak in dié streek onder sy Diemersdal-etiket.

Thys het kragte saamgespan met die bekende Marlborough-wynmaker Ben Glover van Glover Family Vineyards vir die

maak van die wyn.

Die druiwe vir die wyn kom van die Dillons Point-substreek, van waar Glover Family Vineyards ook hul druiwe kry.

Glover sê die samewerking met Diemersdal was ’n hoogtepunt vir hom en sy span in Nieu-Seeland in ’n jaar swaar getref deur die viruspandemie.

“Projekte soos hierdie is so belangrik om ons byeen te bring, en ons as wynmense meer bewus te maak van wat in mekaar se agterplase aangaan en die interaksie en deel van kennis en stories te geniet, sê hy.

Seniors hou Stoepkuiers D

ie Durbanville Seniors Hub (DSH) het hom nie laat onderkry deur die inperking weens die viruspandemie nie en het sy aktiwiteite vanjaar met ’n Stoepkuier begin.

Die DSH, wat ten doel het om ’n dienssentrum vir seniors in Durbanville te begin, is ’n jaar gelede gestig. Die organisasie het sy eerste verjaarsdag gevier met ’n lekker ontbyt by Cafe 22 on Oxford – die eerste van ’n reeks Stoepkuiers.

Die organisasie beoog om voortaan elke Maandag om 11:00 by die restaurant vir ’n kuier en koffie te vergader, afhangende van die weer.

“Dit was heerlik om mekaar weer in die oë te kon kyk en vriendskapsbande verder te smee, met Covid-19-protokol in plek,” sê Lorraine Langeveldt van die DSH. “Ons is opgewonde om in 2021 voort te gaan met ons aktiwiteite – onder meer pedien manikure, breiwerk vir die hospies, bordspeletjies, inligtingsoggende oor gesondheid, selfverdedigingsaktiwiteite en finansiële bestuur, asook ons boekuitrui-

lingsprojek, wat toe ’n mobiele projek geraak het,” sê Langeveldt.

Vanjaar word kunswerksessies ook beoog.

Lidmaatskap van die DSH hou baie voordele in, onder meer afslag by apteke, dokters, restaurante, tuindienste en huisskoonmaakdienste.

“Ons bied hulp met ontruiming van huise, Covid-19-sanitasie van huise en het ’n berader en ’n netwerk van versorgers beskikbaar.

“Ons beskou die mishandeling van seniors in ’n baie ernstige lig en ons kan deur ons netwerke hulpverlening en ondersteuning aan diegene bied,” sê Langeveldt.

Volgens haar is daar sprake dat hul organisasie ’n fasiliteit kan bekom. “Intussen gesels ons heerlik op ons WhatsApp-groepe, waarop ons ook geestelike ondersteuning van heelwat van Durbanville se leraars weekliks ontvang,” sê sy.

V Kontak Marina Jansen, voorsitter, by 079 762 3071 met navrae oor hoe om by die DSH betrokke raak of aan te sluit.

Tillie Oosthuizen en Marina Jansen is paraat teen Covid-19 by die eerste Stoepkuier van die Durbanville Seniors Hub.

Christelle du Toit en Marie Woolward het die eerste Stoepkuier bygewoon.

Ethne Waso, Frieda Bailey, past. Derrick Wood en Yvonne Viljoen het heerlik saamgekuier.

WAT DIE HART VAN VOL IS

HOOFARTIKELBLAD

SLICE OF LIFE

En toe stuur buurvrou vir my ’n foto Buurvrou het nogal daarvan gehou om gereeld ’n boksie groente uit haar tuin oor te stuur. Maar toe, skielik, stop dit, en weke lank hoor en sien ons niks. Tot Vrydag – toe stuur buurvrou ’n foto, iets wat sy in al die jare nog nooit gedoen het nie.

Wat op die foto was, was nie vir my aanvaarbaar nie. En buurvrou is toe al die tyd stilbemoerd. Ek weer was heel omgebom oor die lang relaas wat die foto vergesel. Ek kon dit eenvoudig nie glo nie.

Sy beweer Viskoekie, ons kat, vang haar hoenders. En hoe meer ek sê nee, nie óns kat nie, hoe meer hou sy vol.

Teen dié tyd is ons al twee al goed skuinsbeneuk, en die boodskappe vlieg heen en weer.

Ek vra haar toe hoeveel katte dink sy is daar in die buurt, buiten haar eie twee? En weet sy katte stap elke dag ’n paar kilometer van tuin tot tuin?

Nie so lank terug nie was daar ’n hewige polemiek oor sonde met die bure se katte. Min het ek toe geweet ek sal my vandag binne-in daardie debat bevind.

Die probleem is beide mens én kat kyk graag na die voëls in die tuin, ’n belangebotsing, dus.

Feit is, katte jag.

Hulle kan dit nie help nie. Maar, hulle vang darem ook rotte en muise. Dis waarvoor die mensdom hulle so 10 000 jaar gelede begin mak maak het.

Die volgende dag hou ek ons kat heeldag binne. En so wrintiewaar, hier teen skemer kom ’n boodskap weer van anderkant af: Nóg van haar hoenders is vandag aangeval.

Dis net daar dat my tone toe krul van plesier, want daar is die bewys – dis nie my kat wat so lief is vir haar voëls en hoenders nie.

Net om seker te maak, word sy hierdie hele week binne gehou, wat vir haar nogal erg is. Huiskatte is heel gelukkig om binne te bly as hulle nooit aan die buitewêreld blootgestel was nie. Maar in óns geval is sy gewoond aan buite wees.

En in dieselfde boodskap wil buurvrou toe weet wat ons aan die probleem gaan doen. Wel, ek sê toe maar vir haar ons sal vir ons kat sê sy mag nie die bure se voëls vang nie. Kietsie se Afrikaans is darem nie te sleg nie. En boonop sal ons haar ’n onderneming in dier voege laat onderteken. Swart op wit.

Kat se kind kry ook ’n halsband met nie een nie, maar twee klokke aangeheg sodat as sy iets wil vang, hulle haar kan hoor kom en kans het om te vlug.

Navorsing het bewys hierdie maatreël kan die vang van klein diertjies deur huiskatte met tot 41% verminder.

Wat sal ’n mens nie alles doen om tog die vrede te bewaar nie? Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned! Want so ’n foto wil ek nooit weer kry of sien nie. ’n Foto van ’n verminkte hoender wat roerloos op ’n hopie sit. . Van die os op die jas: Ons moet deesdae mooi kophou in ons “veelvlakkige” samelewing.

Ek meen, vir krag, water én die viruspandemie is daar elk ’n vlak. Dalk sal die formule KWV goed te pas kom.

In my dagboek gaan ek elke dag die vlakke aanteken om kop te hou.

Elke vlak het mos sy moets en moenies.

Elke ding het sy tyd en plek. My formule sal iets wees soos K = 1, W = 2, V = 3.

Op ’n ander dag kan dit wees K = 3, W = 4, V = 5.

Wat V = 3 betref mag ons darem nou weer skoene met oop tone en hempies sonder moue koop. En ons mag selfs ’n zol swaai en dopsteek. Dalk KWV. – Werner van Tonder

Thanks for the memories, Newlands

felt at home. Farewell Newlands, thank you for everything.

NIKITA SCHRONEN e-mail

“The sweetest part of leaving home is knowing that, beyond a shadow of a doubt, you’ll always carry it with you.”

A day I was dreading the most has come.

On Saturday 23 January the last game of rugby was played at Newlands.

It wasn’t the best game from the home team, but the past 133 years have been nothing short of magical.

From seeing the likes of Corné Krige and Morne du Plessis run out to seeing the young guns of Jean-Luc du Plessis and Chris van Zyl running out of the oldest stadium in South Africa Newlands had it all.

It had tears, it had laughter, it had lots of stressful moments, but most importantly, it was the home of many memories.

It was the place where Chester Williams would break through the opposition defence on his way to the try line.

It was the place where Schalk Burger could not wait to go into “Hulk mode” and tackle everybody in his way.

It was the place where I watched my very first rugby game.

How do you say goodbye to a place that’s like home?

Newlands, thank you for being the best home anyone could have ever asked for.

You gave me memories that I’ll carry in my heart forever - from my first time as a fan, when the flag was bigger than me, to my last time sitting in the stands when I attended the funeral of Chester Williams. They say home is not a place, it is a feeling.

Every time I visited you, I

Dís kaalkop die waarheid Dankie TJ (“ ‘Dromkrappers’ probeer ook maar net oorleef”, TygerBurger 3 Februarie) vir jou reaksie op Dicky Liebenberg se skrywe (“Herwinning ’n probleem”, TygerBurger 27 Januarie).

Graag lug ek ook my opinie oor hierdie interessante onderwerp.

As iemand die verkeer reël, is hy ’n verkeersbeampte; wanneer iemand huise bou, is hy ’n bouer; wanneer hy motorfiets ry is hy outomaties ’n motorfietsryer en so kan ek aangaan tot volgende maand.

Wat presies maak hierdie mense dan so spesiaal dat hul beroep nie gebruik kan word om hulle te beskryf nie? ’n Melkman is altemit die ou wat melk bring, of hoe? Ek verstaan dat hulle dalk nie die beste beroep gekies het nie of dat hulle in daardie omstandighede ingedwing is weens ander faktore, dalk buite hul beheer, maar terwyl hulle in dromme krap, is hulle dromkrappers. Sommige van hulle het ’n ekstra titel bygekry, naamlik oorlas of selfs dief. Dit klink dalk bietjie rof, maar van die arme bloedjies dink dit goed om jou

of my drom te steel en te gebruik om al die uitgesoekte drominhoud saam te karwei.

Ek het self al twee verloor.

Dan is daar die ouens wat jou vullis in of buite jou drom uitgooi om jou swart sakke te kry. Dit is ongelukkig die realiteit van hierdie outjies.

Nie almal is sleg nie, maar ek hou nie van hulle nie weens die minderheid se gedrag.

Brackenfeller wil forum stig As Brackenfeller is ek besorg oor ons as gemeenskap.

Wat verlede jaar se gebeure by die skool betref, en die gevolglike politieke speelveld en by tye politieke slaansak wat ons as gemeenskap geword het, het dit my laat wonder waar ons stem is in al die dinge.

Wat het van die inset en stem van die gewone ou geword, die ou wat hier bly en in rus en vrede wil leef sonder die politieke geraas?

Hoewel dit blyk dat daar wel organisasies in Brackenfell bestaan vir die gemeenskap, was daar geen inset of reaksie, wat jy dit ook al wil noem. Ek kon nie vasstel wat hulle doel, funksie of verteenwoordiging is nie, dus het ek begin besin oor alternatiewe.

My vraag is, het dit nie tyd geword dat ons as gemeenskap na mekaar begin uitreik en met mekaar begin praat om ’n gemeenskapstem te kry – om inspraak te lewer daar waar dit ons alledaagse lewe en eiendom raak nie?

As u my siening deel dat ons as gemeenskap ’n stem moet ontwikkel, om inspraak te hê daar waar dit saak maak, waar dit ons raak, stuur vir my ’n e-pos na npo@avibus.co.za met u besonderhede.

WEHAHN GELDENHUYS Brackenfell

Belastingbetalers het ook regte Ek verwys na die berig verlede week oor die straatmense (“Curfew for homeless”, 27/1).

Mnr. Zahid Badroodien sê dit is nie ’n oortreding om op straat te wees nie.

Ek versoek u om hom te vra vir ’n uiteensetting van die regte van die munisipale belastingbetaler.

Sekerlik het ons ’n reg om veilig te voel, nie bedreig te voel, nie in vuil taal gevloek te word en vieslike toilette langs ons grensmure te verduur, wat ’n gesondheidsrisiko is nie.

Nie alle inwoners het manspersone om hulle by hul huise te beskerm nie. Maar die straatbewoners mag al hierdie dinge oortree. Stad Kaapstad se mense was al in my huis om die saak te bespreek. Daar het dadels van gekom.

Daar is regulasies deur die Stad vir straatbewoners geskryf. Wat het óns? Net ’n hand vol vere. Die Stad het vir hom ’n lat gepluk en dinge toegelaat wat hy in der ewigheid nie ná inperking sal kan bestuur nie – bloot omdat straatmense regte het.

Maar die jaar is verkiesingsjaar terwyl ons op ’n Zimbabwe afstuur. Dit is presies hoekom jong mense nie wil stem nie.

Ons sit met drie in die huis wat hul skouers optrek en brom oor onbekwaamhede van die owerhede. En hulle is reg.

Ons kan hulle nie kwalik neem nie, want ons kan nie hul standpunt verkeerd bewys nie.

Sê asseblief vir mnr.

Badroodien ons soek sy kommentaar oor die munisipale belastingbetaler se regte in die volgende publikasie van die TygerBurger.

Poppekas verruil verhoog vir radio RICHARD ROBERTS @richardjohn_rj

ie Covid-19-pandemie het nie net sakeondernemings, organisasies, skole en hospitale ’n reuseknou toegedien nie, maar ook diegene wat ander op ’n ietwat ongewone manier vermaak.

Dertien jaar gelede het Anton Treurnich, ’n boorling van Bellville, sy opvoedkundige poppekas-produksies vir ouer mense begin, maar die afgelope jaar en ’n bietjie kon hy nie dinge soos normaalweg doen nie en is besluit om sy stories vir radio aan te pas. Daar

is nou ’n 15-episode-vervolgverhaal vir radio geskryf, en dit word wyd versprei, sê Anton.

“Die alombekende pop-karakters, Umnyama en Foukids, vermaak al die afgelope 13 jaar die senior burgers van verskeie dienssentrums en tehuise dwarsoor die WesKaap.

“Covid-19 het egter ’n stokkie gesteek voor die heerlike kuiers.

“Die karakters, Piet, Helen, Thabisa en Boetie het besluit om die verhoog nou vir die mikrofoon te verruil,” verduidelik Anton.

Verskeie gemeenskapsradiostasies het ingekoop in die vervolgverhaal, getiteld Goue Jare.

Plaaslik sal luisteraars die produksies kan volg op Tygerberg 104FM, waar dit elke Vrydag van 19 Februarie om 20:15 uitgesaai sal word.

“Die Wes-Kaapse departement van maatskaplike ontwikkeling het ons destyds gevra om ’n opvoedkundige verhoogproduksie te doen waar ons aan die ouer mense hul regte op ’n praktiese manier kan uitbeeld. Ons het gevoel dat die beste manier om die ernstige inhoud oor te bring, en die groot ouderdomsverskille te bowe te kom, sal deur die gebruik van ’n poppekas te wees,” sê Anton oor die bestaansjaar van sy produksie.

Hy sê die radiovervolgverhaal word ook moontlik gemaak deur die ondersteuning van die departement sowel as die Mapula Trust.

Die poppekas het in 2008 begin. “Ons was baie senuweeagtig om te sien hoe die ouer mense dit sou ontvang. Daar was ook ’n groot groep verteenwoordigers van die departement, almal baie ernstig en belangrik.”

Hy sê die poppekas is oor die jare heen selfs beter ontvang deur die ouer mense as die groepe klein kinders.

“Daar word lekker gelag en saam gepraat.

SOMERSPORT: AMPSDRAERS HOOPVOL

Kompetisie aangeskuif SAREL BURGER

S

Reza Levy. in action in the Junior Max category..

Scintillating start to season The 2021 Western Cape Rotax Max Challenge karting season exploded to life on a typically searing Cape February day thankfully punctuated by an occasional breeze at Killarney on Saturday 13 February.

The action was just as hot on track in a day of contrasts that saw both a bit of domination as well as some cracking fights for glory through the afternoon. Senior Max was surely the race of the day as Andrew Rackstraw took the overall win without winning a heat.

In a dramatic afternoon, pole man and South African champion Tate Bishop exited the first race early, leaving Jason Coetzee to storm to the win from Rackstraw and Kyle Visser. Bishop then took advantage of a fraught five-way fight ahead of him to move up from the back and pounce for the lead and make off for the second race win over Kyle Visser, while Rackstraw and Storm Lanfear pulled a last lap move on Charl Visser for third and fourth.

Bishop then took care of early leaders Rackstraw and Coetzee to make off for another heat win in the final, but Charl Visser’s day went from bad to worse when he exited after coming from behind to second to release Rackstraw, Kyle Visser and Lanfear after Coetzee was stripped of third for his part in Visser’s demise. That meant that Rackstraw took the day from Kyle Visser, Lanfear, the troubled Charl Visser and Coetzee.

It was a different matter in DD2, where Joseph Oelz came, saw and conquered on his DD2 debut for his return to karting following a year away. Joseph put it on pole position and steamed away to a trio of race wins, with a fastest lap each time over reigning South African champion Sebastian Boyd. Behind them, Masters winner Conor Hughes kept the battling Jared Jordan, Andrew Thomas and Michael Jordan at bay for third overall, ahead of a splendid dice between Steve Beaumont, newcomer Rafe Tayler, Andre Steenkamp and rookie Gil Simoes.

It was a case of more domination when WP Mini champion Reza Levy put a season of quietly learning the bigger class to great use as he troubled the Senior frontrunners en route to a compelling high school Junior Max win. The constantly improving Matthew Wadeley however left Killarney with a new Junior Max lap record as he made Levy work for his final win.

Wadeley also held Ethan Stier off for second overall with two heat seconds to Stier’s one with Jaden Jacobs fourth from Joshua Smit and Joaquin de Oliveira, both of whom later concentrated on their Mini Max afternoons.

De Oliveira had a brilliant day in senior primary Mini Max as he made off up front to deliver a clean sweep with three fastest laps too.

He left his rivals to fight it out among themselves as the top five each had a turn on the podium through the day in a great start to the Mini Max season. Out of town visitor Erich Heystek improved through the day to deliver a fine come from behind third in heat 2, before going one better to take second for the day by a point from Joshua Smit and another ever-improving local Jordon Wadeley, Keagen Beaumont, Jude Stuart, Ethan Deacon and Oliver Roach.

While those three races saw domination, junior primary Micro Max was on the other hand once

again most entertaining. Kegan Martin overcame Dale Hobbs to win the first race but hit trouble in race 2, before bouncing back to pass Hobbs early and drive off to the final heat win. That was not enough to stoop Hobbs from taking the day from Martin, while Aiden Beaumont overcame a tight battle through the day to beat Eric Norman to third. They came home ahead of a most entertaining day long wrought between Matthew Roach, Matthew Chiwara and Siyabonga Ntuli for fifth.

Michael Danks meanwhile laid early claim to the 2021 WP baby Bambino title with yet another dominant pole, triple race wins and a triple fastest lap run en route to the win for the day. Impressive Jozi rookie visitor Kayde Cornofsky diced all the way with Siyabonga Ntuli on their way to second and third. And John Norman pinched a podium third in the final heat en route to fourth from Ruan Lewis and Liam Wharton.

The opening round of the Northern Regions Rotax Max Challenge is next up at the Formula K Raceway on 6 March, before the second round of the KZN regionals at iDube on 14 March. Then follows the first 2021 Rotax Max National back at Killarney on 26 March 2021. All races remain scheduled to continue without spectators under lockdown regulations.

omersport-ampsdraers bly steeds hoopvol dat wedstryde en byeenkomste wél nog later vanjaar afgehandel sal kan word.

Ná alle sport op amateur- en skolevlak vir die res van die huidige somer afgelas is, word vertrou dat mededingende sport tog weer met die aanvang van die volgende somer in Oktober sal kan plaasvind.

Indien die huidige afname in aktiewe viruspandemie-gevalle voortduur en terselfdertyd gehoor gegee word aan die voorgeskrewe protokol, behoort somersport-aktiwiteite oor ’n paar maande te realiseer.

Die WP Noordelike Stadsgebiede Skolekrieket-streekunie (WPNS) het in der waarheid reeds besluit om vier van sy vyf kompetisies wat hierdie kwartaal sou plaasvind, na die begin van die volgende somer – dus die vierde kwartaal – aan te skuif.

Dit sal onder meer matrikulante, wat nog vir oulaas wed-

stryde vir hul skoolspanne wil speel, die geleentheid daartoe gee.

Buiten die WPNS se Saterdagligakompetisies vir o.19A-, o.15A- en o.14A-spanne sal die Sammy Bloch/Medicare Apteke-uitklopkompetisie op weeksdae vir skole se eerste spanne hopelik almal in die vierde kwartaal aangebied word. Net die kompetisie vir skole se o.19B-spanne sal verval.

Ook die jaarlikse sesaan-’n-kant-toernooi wat vir Oktober geskeduleer was, sal nie vanjaar plaasvind nie.

Afgesien van hierdie kwartaal se vier aangeskuifde kompetisies na Oktober sal die o.15en o.14-spanne se weekdag-uitklopkompetisies ook dan plaasvind.

Maar, aangesien die vierde kwartaal ’n kort sportkwartaal is voor die jaareindeksamen begin, en om ’n opeenhoping van wedstryde te vermy, sal skole in die WPNS-gebied binnekort genader word met die voorstel dat van die wedstryde reeds in September afgehandel word.

Angelique, Maizie and Theo Buttress.

Former pro to uplift local women’s football REMO ANDREWS The Bantwana College non-profit company (NPC) launched in Cape Town on Sunday 14 February, at Fives Futbol at Bayside Mall in Blouberg.

The NPC was founded by Cape Town native, Theo Buttress in Gauteng with the aim of improving the development of women’s football in the country. A former professional footballer in the 80s, Buttress recognised a lack of football development in women’s football when his three daughters took an interest in the game but found that there was a lack of opportunity for them. Buttress said, “All three of my daughters love the game, we saw it as a family activity we all could enjoy.

“My wife is also an avid footballer so when I found so little opportunity and resources for them to play the game regularly I felt it was my duty to do something about it.”

When his oldest daughter, Angelique Buttress, moved back to

Cape Town after completing her Sports Science degree at the University of Pretoria, she decided to expand her father’s idea to Cape Town.

“My primary goal is to encourage women empowerment through the sport. We want to nurture talent but also promote a healthy overall lifestyle. Whether you are a great footballer already or are just starting we have something to offer everyone,” she said.

This ethos is very much in line with her father’s original idea.

“Our vision is to reach as many young potential female footballers as we can and to provide them with an education other than academic, such as life skills, entrepreneurial skills, and financial planning skills, to create a culture of equality, empowerment and hope for a brighter future for female athletes in South Africa,” said Buttress.

Bantwana will have their first tournament at Fives Futbol at Bayside Mall in Blouberg on Sunday 28 February.
