Karkasse vanpolisiehonde

gevindVERA SCHOEMAN

’n Forensiese span van die polisie wat die doodverlede maand van twee opgeleide polisiehondeondersoek het, het bevind hulle is nie aan na-tuurlike oorsake dood nie.

Uschka, ’n Labrador-dwelmsnuffelaar, enIkke, ’n ervare patrolliehond, is vermoedelik inhul hokke verdoof voordat hulle uitgehaal,doodgemaak en hul karkasse op ’n plaas wegge-steek is.

Ao. Petra Els, ’n woordvoerder van die Jef-freysbaai-polisie, het gesê hulle is warm op diespoor van die booswig en glo sy inhegtenisne-ming gaan vir groot opspraak sorg.

Toe die twee honde op 11 September uit hulhokke by die Humansdorp honde-eenheid ver-dwyn het, is aanvanklik geglo hulle het self ’ntonnel onder die draad deur gegrawe en ont-snap.

Ná ’n grootskaalse soektog wat die verbeel-ding van die gemeenskap aangegryp het, is dietwee se ontbinde karkasse drie weke later in ’nstormwaterpyp gevind. Werkers van ’n plaas so-wat 5 km buite Humansdorp op die Hankey-padhet op hulle afgekom.

Volgens die bevelvoerder van die Hu-mansdorp K9-eenheid, kapt. Frank Monaise, hethulle meer as 300 oproepe van bekommerde ledevan die publiek ontvang. “Álmal wou helpsoek.”

Volgens lt.kol. Priscilla Naidu het die toneelwaar die honde gevind is, onmiddellik verdaggelyk.

“Hulle het met hul koppe bymekaar gelê enhul onderlywe in verskillende rigtings. Hullewas ook baie diep in die tonnel.”

’n Span forensiese deskundiges het ingevliegom die toneel te ondersoek en het op baiewaardevolle leidrade afgekom.

Volgens die twee honde se hanteerders is ’n La-brador nie so vinnig soos ’n Belgiese skaaphondnie en sou Uschka nooit by Ikke kon byhou nie.

JEFFREYSBAAI gaan een van die daemet sy eie hoërskool kan spog.

Nie net sal dié nuwe skool die druk ophoërskole in Humansdorp verlig nie, maardit sal ook ouers van Jeffreysbaai help omop vervoerkoste te spaar.

Daar is sonder twyfel ’n groot behoefteaan ’n hoërskool in Jeffreysbaai. Nog voordie eerste hopie grond vir die fondasie om-gedolwe is, is daar reeds so ’n groot aan-vraag dat die Departement Onderwys graagmet drie grade - in plaas van die gebruiklikeeen graad wat dan jaar na jaar uitbrei - be-gin.

Die Departement beoog om volgende jaarmet die bouwerk van dié nuwe hoërskool inKoraalstraat, C-Plek te begin. Die grond isdeur die munisipaliteit, wat lank reeds virdie bou van ’n hoërskool in Jeffreysbaaibaklei, geskenk.

Volgens munisipale woordvoerder, Lau-ra-Leigh Randall, is daar werklik ’n grootnood vir ’n hoërskool op Jeffreysbaai.

“Honderde leerlinge moet elke dag per busna die drie hoërskole op Humansdorp - NicoMalan, Lungiso Sekondêr en HumansdorpSekondêr - vervoer word. Alhoewel die vevo-er vandie leerlingedeurdieDepartement ge-subsideer word, kos dit ouers nog steeds baiegeld,” het Randall gesê.

“Die feit dat die kinders so ver van dieskool af bly, het ook ’n impak op die kwa-liteit van die opvoeding wat hulle ontvang.Dit is, byvoorbeeld, nie altyd maklik virhulle om aan naskoolse aktiwiteite, byvoor-beeld sport en kultuur, deel te neem nie om-dat vervoer ’n groot probleem is.”

Volgens Randall was die oorspronklikeplan dat die skool ’n tegniese skool sou weesen dit is nog steeds waarna die Departementwil werk, maar die skool gaan eers as ’nakademiese skool begin en dan sal daar la-ter tegniese klasse bygevoeg word. “Die De-partement beoog om samesprekings metouers te hê sodat die kurrikulum gefinali-seer kan word,” aldus Randall.

Earl Hill, raadslid vir Wyk 2 (Pellsrus) en’n onderwyser by Laerskool Pellsrus, isvuur en vlam oor die vooruitsig van ’n hoër-skool in die area en is oortuig daarvan dat

dié nuwe skool’n uitstekende en noodsaaklike diens aan diegemeenskap sal lewer.

“Ons pleit al vir die afgelope ses jaar bydie Departement vir ’n hoërskool en nou isons gebede verhoor. Beplanning vir dieskool is reeds in ’n gevorderde stadium endie Departement beoog om aan die eindevan November vir tenders te adverteer,”het Hill gesê.

“In lig van die geweldige toename vanleerders by ons laerskole kon die oprigtingvan ’n hoërskool nie op ’n beter tyd gekomhet nie.

“Benewens die 1 365 leerders wat tans byLaerskool Pellsrus ingeskryf is, akkommo-deer die skool ook ’n verdere 200 graad 8 en9 leerders.”

Volgens Hill gaan die kurrikulum voor-siening maak vir provinsiale toerisme, teg-niese vakke en daar is ook ’n sterk moont-likheid dat vakke in lanbou aangebied gaanword.

Rioolstroom huldaaglikse lot

MONIQUE VERMEULEN

INWONERS moes die afgelope paar daehul neuse styf toeknyp nadat riool by ’nrioolgat by Sandrift Meenthuis-kompleksuitgeborrel en straat af gestroom het - endit is ook nie die eerste keer wat dit gebeurnie.

Louis Rautenbach wat voorheen die paddaagliks gebruik het, maar nou wye draaiedaarom ry, sê die riool loop al vir weke in Ho-ly Singel.

Rautenbach het sy kommer uitgespreekoor die onhigiëniesie omstandighede, gesond-heidsrisiko wat dit inhou en die stinkende ri-ool wat in die stormwaterpype beland en diedorp se water besoedel.

Volengs Rautenbach sukkel die inwonersvan Holy Singel al vir ’n geruime tyd met diéstink probleem wat op ’n gereelde basis kopuitsteek. En wanneer die straat wel rioolvryis, is dié skone vreugde van korte duur. “Ditis al so erg dat die pad begin groen word endie muggies ons behoorlik toepak.

“My5-jarige dogtertjie het gereeldmethaarfiets in dié straat voor ons huis gery, maarnou hou ek haar so ver as moontlik uit diestraat uit.”

Rautenbach is egter nie die enigste persoonwat oor die stank kla nie. Inwoners van San-drift Meenthuis-kompleks sit ook behoorlikmet hulle hande in die hare weens skone fru-strasie.

Volgens een van die inwoners, wat ano-niem wil bly, moet die Kouga Munisipaliteitelke Donderdag die kompleks se septiesietenk kom leeg pomp, maar dit gebeur egternie so gereeld soos wat dit moet nie. Sy hetook gesê dat wanneer die munisipaliteit welkom,hulle die tenkófnieheeltemal leegpompnie, óf ’n groot gemors agter laat.

Volgens munisipale woordvoerder, Mfun-do Sobele, het munisipale trokke die septiesetenk verlede week skoongemaak en is dit ’noefening wat gereed uitgevoer word.

In die geval van rioolstortings, kan inwo-ners die munisipaliteit by 0 042 200 2235 kon-tak..Om kommentaar le lewer, besoek ons

PLANS for a bigger, better police stationat St Francis Bay are progressing well.

Kouga Executive Mayor Booi Koerat saidthe municipality had met with the Depart-ment of Public Works last week to ensurethat the project was on track.

“The aim is to complete the preplanningby the end of February next year, so thatconstruction can start in the 2012/13 finan-cial year,” he said.

He said the municipality and Depart-ment were finalising the Service LevelAgreement (SLA) for the new police station.

“The SLA is necessary to ensure that themunicipality has the capacity to cater forthe service requirements of the develop-ment, including, water, sewerage, electrici-ty, roads, stormwater and refuse removal,”he explained.

He said the Department had already sub-mitted a site development plan for the new

station, which will be built on the cornerof St Francis Drive and Tarragona Avenue,and that the final building plans should besubmitted by February next year.

“The other outstanding matter is theownership of the land where the police sta-tion is to be built,” the mayor said.

“The land was supposed to have beentransferred to the St Francis Bay Transi-tional Local Council (TLC) whenSantareme was developed, but the TLC didnot do so. Consequently, the land is still re-gistered in the name of the disbandedSantareme Homeowners’ Association andmust now be transferred to Kouga so thatwe can transfer it to the Department.”

According to the site development plan,the new police building will have a totalfloor area of 1 750m². This includes a servicepoint (214 m²), office space (36 m²), crime in-vestigation unit (82 m²), crime preventionunit (176 m²), cells (382 m²) and a wash bay.

wines are still drinking well after 20 and 30years. For Carl, Hartenberg’s winemaker ofthe past 17 years, this is the most finite mea-sure of quality. “We feel that only after fouryears does the variety start to give one aglimpse of the locked-away potential lurkingin the bottle,” said Carl.

SY het reeds meer titels ingeoes as wat sykan onthou en nou klop dié elfjarige se hartin haar keel, want sy neem eersdaags aandie eind-ronde van die “Little MissSA”-kompetisie deel.

Altesaam 26 finaliste gaan op 22 Oktober inPretoria dit onder mekaar uitspook om as “Lit-tle Miss SA” gekroon te word.

Jamie Smith, ’n graad 5 leerling by Laer-skool Jeffreysbaai, het aanvanklik net vir diepret ingeskryf, maar sy en haar ouers is be-hoorlik in die wolke oor haar prestasie.

“Ek is só trots op my dogter. Sy het my alhoeveel keer in trane gehad van trotsheid,” hethaar ma, Marlize, gesê.

Volgens Marlize is Jamie se prestasie ook tedanke aan Ellen Hancke van Jeffreysbaai, watlewenstoerusting-kursusse aanbied. “Sy hetJamie onder haar vlerk geneem het en op veelmeer as net drama voorberei,” het Marlizegesê. Die kursus sluit in etiket, liggaamshou-ding, godsdiens, geestelike versterking, twee-taligheid, afronding en nog vele meer.

Maar om ’n finalis te wees, moet jy nie netmooi wees nie, jy moet ook baie hard kan werk.Elke finalis moet ’n minimum van R1 500 in-samel, asook verskeie gemeenskapsprojekteaanpak.

Jamie het besluit om beide aan die minder-bevoorregtes sowel as die mishandelde dierein die gemeenskap terug te gee. Sy is al ’ngeruime tyd besig om kos vir die DBV in Hu-mansdorp in te samel en more gaan sy en nogleerders van Laerskool Jeffreysbaai die hokke

by die DBV gaan skoonmaak. Maandag is ditweer tyd vir broodjies maak, wanneer sy virdie pasiënt en kinders by die KuilsrivierKliniek elk ’n lekker broodjie gaan gee om tegeniet.

Jamie het dié jaar omtrent met haar talentegewoeker. Tydens die Suid-Afrikaanse Kam-pioenskappe inRustenburgvroeërdie jaar, hetsy 3 goue, 9 silwer en 2 brons medaljes vir haardeelname in die drama-kategorieë verower.Volgens haar ma was die groot verrassingegter die verskeie medaljes wat sy vir haarmodelwerk losgeslaan het, aangesien sy eersinMei vanjaarmet formele opleidingbyMouldModel Academy begin het. Jamie het 1 goue,2 silwer en 1 brons medalje vir die vier katego-rieë waarvoor sy ingeskryf het, ontvang.

“Jamie is gekies as lid van die Suid-Afri-kaanse span wat in Julie vanjaar Los Angelestoe is om teen 53 ander lande aan die WorldChampionships of Performing Arts deel teneem. Sy was ingeskryf vir 19 items en het virelkeen ’n medalje ontvang, waarvan 10 goudwas,,” het Marlize gesê.

Nog medaljes op Jamie se kerfstok is die In-dustry Gold Medal - ter erkenning dat syraakgesien is deur agente en afrigters inAmerika dat sy ’n kandidaat is vir ’n sukses-volle toekoms in die bedryf - en die GrandChampionship Finalis Medalje.

Sy is ook tydens die jaarlikse Mej. Nartjie-fees kompetisie as die wenner in haar ouder-domsgroep gekroon.

As sy nie besig is om die een titel na die an-der in te ryg nie, is Jamie ook aktief betrokkeby redenaars, tennis en netbal by die skool.

Have your will drafted free of chargeARE you making arrangements for your year-end holiday? Did you recently buy a house orflat? Did you get married this year or move inwith your companion? Then you should ensurethat your affairs are in order by having a willdrafted by an attorney – for free.

From October 17 - 21 attorneys participating

in the National Wills Week initiative will draftbasic wills for members of the public free ofcharge. More than 1 000 attorneys’ firmsthroughout South Africa are participating inthe National Wills Week project.

The aim of National Wills Week is to high-light the importance of having a valid will in

place to ensure that the wishes of testators aretaken into account when they die, and thattheir assets are disposed of according withtheir wishes.

Also, this initiative is to encourage membersof the public who would not normally make useof the services of an attorney, or who may hesi-tate to approach an attorney for various rea-sons, to consult an attorney.

Why approach an attorney to draft yourwill?An attorney has the necessary knowledge and

expertise to ensure that your will is legally va-lid and complies with your wishes. An attorneycan also advise you on any problem which mayarise with regard to your will. Often a will isnot valid because the person who drafts it doesnot have the necessary legal knowledge to en-sure that the requirements of the law are met.

What could happen to your estate if you diewithout a valid will?If you die without leaving a valid will, your as-sets will be distributed according to the provi-sions of the Intestate Succession Act. The pro-visions of this Act are generally fair and ensurethat your possessions are transferred to yourspouse and children.

But, the following problems may arise if youdie without leaving a will:.Your assets may not be left to the person ofyour choice..It can take a long time to have an executorappointed. The executor who is appointed maybe somebody you may not have chosen your-self..There could be extra and unnecessary costs..There could be unhappiness and conflictamong members of your family because thereare no clear instructions on how to distributeyour assets.

During Wills Week attorneys participatingin the National Wills Week project will drafta new, basic will for members of the public forfree. Attorneys will not amend or redraft exist-ing wills.

The contact details of attorneys participat-ing in the National Wills Week project can beaccessed on the LSSA website at www.LS-SA.org.za.

YOUR PROPERTY QUESTIONS ANSWERED

Agent lets owner downPROPETY POSER ­ ASK THE EXPERTS

ONE of our readers is unhappywith both a recent tenant of herproperty and the letting agentwho initially secured and handledthe tenant.

It appears that the agent introducedthe candidate and assured the readerthat she was suitable and that all cred-it checks had been properly per-formed. The reader was satisfied withthis and signed the lease agreement.

At first everything went smoothly.The rental was paid on time and thereader had no other issues with thetenant. However, from the thirdmonth problems arose. The rentalpayments were made on the seventh

of the month or even later and thereader soon realised that a few thou-sand rands worth of damage hadbeen caused to the property.

The agent was not very helpful inrecovering the late rental payments.After doing some investigation of herown, the reader discovered that thistenant had judgments against hername and was in fact not suitable, de-spite the agent’s initial claims to thecontrary. The reader then decided totake steps of her own to rectify thesituation. The tenant eventually va-cated the premises of her own ac-cord, but left the last month’s rentalunpaid and the damage to the proper-ty unrepaired.

The reader issued summonsagainst the defaulting tenant, but thesheriff could not find any goods to at-tach to satisfy the judgment that hadbeen obtained.

It transpired that the ex-tenantwas now also unemployed so her sa-lary could not be garnished to repaythe outstanding amounts.

The whole experience has left thereader out of pocket and she wouldlike to know where her remedy lies.

We are not told what exactly theterms of the agreement between thereader and the letting agent were orwhether a written contract was con-cluded, says Wanda Hayes from Hui-zemark Jeffreys Bay.

“Nevertheless, it does appear thatcertain representations were madeby the agent. The landlord acted up-on these representations and suf-fered damages as a result.”

Hayes questions whether the rea-der would have concluded a rentalagreement with any tenant who didnot have a clean credit record.

“It appears that creditworthinesswas a clear requirement set by thereader and that she would not haveentered into an agreement withsomeone who did not comply.”

Herman Pieterse from Jan VisserAttorneys in Jeffreys Bay says theremay therefore be scope for a contrac-tual claim for damages against the

letting agent.“This would most likely be for

breach of the terms of the agreement,which involved finding a creditwor-thy tenant.”

The proof of the breach is quite clearin the tenant’s subsequent misconductdespite the agent’s false assertion ofher good standing, says Pieterse. “Al-ternatively, our reader may have adelictual action against the agent,based on the misrepresentations thatwere made. When the rea-der acted onthese misrepresentations, it led to thedamages that were incurred.”
