DA lambasted over new electricity tariffs

Anne Kruger

THEANCvented its

anger on the DA

over the electricity

tariff debacle dur-

ing last weeks spe-

cial council meet-

ing, at which it was

decided to lower

the daily charge of

residents with low-

er electricity usage

(30A category).

Said councillor

Sharon Davids,

Why were the new

electricity charges

never explained to

the public? Why was

there no public par-

ticipation process?

The new basic

andcapacitycharges

were never even

mentioned to the

public at the IDP

meetings!

Speaker Koos le

Roux (DA) conceded:

We acknowledge

that communication

regarding the elec-

tricity charges could have been better.

Added Linda Landu (ANC), We as coun-

cillors are confronted by members of the

public who want answers from us - these

are people who are too poor to travel to the

municipal offices to ask for information.

KeithSheldon(Cope)remarked,Weneed

to institute block tariffs inwhich thosewith

lower usage pay less per unit than those

with high electricity consumption.

In response, the chief financial officer of

the Municipality, Jacques Carstens, ex-

plained, Electricityunit costswere lowered

from R1,20 per unit to R1,14 to make up

for the daily charges now instituted, which

vary according to the Amps on the circuit

breaker.

People with 30A electricity supply have

beenhit thehardest,becausetheirelectrici-

tyuse is lowerandbasic charges thusmake

up a bigger part of their cost. That is why

we will decrease their basic charges, back-

dated to 1 July, by R19,74 (including VAT)

per month.

Residents with 40A who buy less than

400unitspermonthshouldconsiderdown-

grading to 30A as well.

People who buy less than 300 units per

month should downgrade to 20A, where

they pay no basic charges and unit cost is

only 88,3c.

These matters will be explained to the

community in the newsletter which will go

out with municipal accounts at the end of

the month, and which will be available at

pre-paid purchase points as well.

Electricity tariffs will be restructured

from 1 July next year, with stepped tariffs

phased in over two years to ensure that low

usage is rewarded by lower cost.

The ANC was still unimpressed.

Said councillor

Colin Rens: The DA

has failed the public

of Drakenstein and

we cannot support

theseproposals. The

ANC and the NNP

will abstain from the

vote.

TheDAmusttake

full responsibility for

their mess and apol-

ogise for it. The best

thing would be for

the Mayor te resign

and find a capable

person to lead the

council.

He was supported

by Dan Kotze (SAP-

CO): SAPCOdidnot

support the new tar-

iffs -wemade it clear

that we did not want

to disadvantage the

poor. These propos-

als do not go far

enough - there are

otherways to obtain

sufficient operation-

al funding.

DerrickBlancken-

berg (PDM) pointed

out that he had also not supported the tar-

iffs: These tariffs should be scrapped be-

causetheyaredisadvantagingthepooreven

further.

Themotion to decrease the basic charges

on 30A users, and to allow all residents the

option of paying the daily charges on a

monthly basis viamunicipal accounts, was

thencarriedbytheDAmajority,withoutthe

support of opposition parties.

After the meeting, a DA spokesperson

said that electricity tariffs could not be de-

creased further, due to a total of R250 mil-

lioninoutstandingdebtdatingfromthepre-

vious council.

There are also 5335 illegal household

electricity connections in Drakenstein for

which no payment is received.

The DA shall correct the financial mess

inherited. We will pay back the loans and

rebuild the depleted reserves.

)To transfer daily charges frompre-paid

purchases to your monthly account, visit

anymunicipalofficewithyour IDdocument

and fill in an application form. The transfer

should be completed within 48 hours.

ELECTRICITY. At a special municipal council meeting held in Paarl last week, the electricity tariffs

which have caused a public outcry, were discussed and some were amended. Pic: Anne Kruger

Council thinks again

Electricity tariffs will be re-

structured from 1 July next

year, with stepped tariffs pha-

sed in over two years to en-

sure that low usage is rewar-

ded by lower cost.

Huis nou geen paleis

n WELLINGTONSE

vrou beleef enorme

finansile verlies

weens n huurder

wat maande agter-

stallig is met sy

huurpaaiemente.

Natasha Downe,

wat tans inEngeland

as spraakterapeut

werk, het meer as

twee jaar gelede haar

huis in Kloofstraat,

Wellington,aan nge-

sin verhuur.

Ekmoessekervroersnuf indieneusge-

kryhet,wantvandiestaanspoorafhet Isaac

Davids net sporadies betaal.

Hyhetdiedepositoeersnegemaandena-

dathyensygesinhul intrekgeneemhet,be-

baie billike prys.

SohetDavidsalhoemeeragtergeraakmet

sy maandelikse paaiemente - soveel so dat

teenDesemberverlede jaarwassyhuurmet

R24 000 agterstallig.

Ek het hierdie huis gerf en gedink dat

ek n bietjie van n neseier deur die verhuur

daarvankonopbou.Maarditwas totdusver

nog net kopstamp gewees.

Davids is toe deur Natasha gedagvaar vir

die agterstallige bedrag en kort voor n hof-

verskyning verlede jaar, het hulle n skik-

kingsooreenkoms bereik. Volgens Natasha

sou Davids R10 000 aan haar betaal en die

origebedrag sou teenDesember vanjaarbe-

taal wees.

Maar sedertdien was daar geen verdere

betalings aan haar gemaak nie.

Ek voel asof Davids die een is wat deur

is gretig om hierdie

maar weer eens is sy

diep teleurgestel.

Eers toe ons voor

diemagistraat staan,hetDavidsgesdathy

regshulp nodig het. Dt nadat hy almaande

lank weet dat ons in die hof gaan verskyn.

So moes Natasha onverrigtersake terug-

keer na haar werk in Londen. En intussen

hoop Davids se skuld aan haar op, want hy

het sedert Januarie geen huur betaal nie.

Ek is n barmhartige Samaritaan, maar

ek voel datDavids geenpogingaanwendom

Tyeisvironsalmalmoeilik,maarsekerlik

Leopard sightings on Simonsberg

SIGHTINGS of up to three young leo-

pardshavebeenmadeon the farmPlai-

sir deMerle inSimondiumsince the in-

stallationofamotion-detectingcamera

ontheSimonsbergon21Junethisyear.

As farbackas1992 forestersandother

contractors on the farm claimed to have

actually seen leopard. We had the spoor

identified, soweknewtheywereout there,

but we are so exci-

ted to have this fi-

nallyverifiedonca-

le Roux, farm ma-

nager.

There was ano-

ther surprisewhen

a honey badger al-

so bustled onto the

scene one night.

We have always

joked about the

zoo on the farm,

said Freddie, and

now, we have the

proof! The presence of leopard and other

wildlife is an affirmation of the success of

oureffortsovermorethan22yearstorein-

state the original vegetation in the areas

surrounding the vineyards to promote a

habitat conducive to greater biodiversity.

Other faunaknowntobeonthe farmin-

cludethecaracul(Capelynx), jackal,mon-

goose,buck (duikerandgrysbok)andbat-

eared jackal.

We roped in the help of the Cape Leo-

pard Trust Boland Project for advice on

where to place the cameras and how to

download the photographs, said Freddy.

According toareport fromJeannieHay-

wardandAnitaMeyerof theCapeLeopard

Trust (CLT), it seems likely that these pic-

tures are of three different sub-adult leo-

pards: Two of these seem to be unknown

cats, One of the leopards is certainly the

same individual aswas photographed be-

fore on Tokara (in May).

We were pleasantly surprised by the

photos obtained on Plaisir deMerle, espe-

cially considering

that Simonsberg is

isolated from the

rest of the Jonkers-

hoekmountainsby

vineyards, urban

settlement and the

Helshoogte Pass.

Cape leopards

are solitary and

highly territorial

animals and have

extensive home

ranges. Due to its

isolation and the

relative lack of roc-

ky slopes we do not expect Simonsberg to

be exclusively utilised by a permanent re-

sident leopard foranextendedperiodof ti-

me.

Ratherweexpectitsslopestobeoccasi-

onally utilised by adults who have larger

territoriesstretchingintotheJonkershoek

mountains, andyounger leopards looking

to establish a territory.

We surmise that at present theremust

besomekindofterritorialdisputegoingon

it is very uncharacteristic for more than

two individuals to share the same space,

and so finding three individuals in such a

short space of time is very unusual.

ASauserof thepublic transport

the terrible condition of the par-

The red gravel surface of the

parking lot gives problems all

year around.

In summer, when the

slightest breeze blows, your car

will have a coat of red dust on

it,nottomentiontheenginebay,

Unsatisfied customer

The municipal spokesperson

responds: The parking area

between the Huguenot Stati-

on fence and the Huguenot

Bypass is indeed the property

of Drakenstein Municipality.

The problems experienced

by commuters making use of

this area for parking is ac-

knowledged.

Future development of the

the railway infrastructure in

respect of all transportation

systems and facilities, is at

present in the midst of the

planning phase.

The provision of a perma-

ment.

As the area is utilised by a

large number of commuters,

the gravel parking areawill be

attended to by placing a new

ATM fraudsters are shopping merrily in Paarl.

This isobvious fromthenumberofATMfraudcaseswhicharebeing

reported.

These criminals have become extremely sophisticated, using hand-

helddevices to clone card information. Theyare thenable toduplicate

the card and draw as much cash as they like from the cardholders

account if they know the pin number.

And not only are they operating in dark secluded corners, but they

are now so confident of getting away with their crimes that they are

operating in broad daylight and in the centre of Paarl.

But who is actually to blame here?

Yes, users of ATMs are continually warned to be extremely vigilant

and not allow anyone near them when using these cash machines,

as well as covering the key pad with one hand while entering the pin.

Butwhatarebanksdoingwiththeirhugeprofits tocounteract these

crimes?

South Africa has some of the highest banking costs in the world,

sowhere is the expenditure for ensuring the safety of their clients and

their hard earned cash?

maar beslis nie met

en hul verset teen die

jarelangeverdrukkingvanApart-

laat besluit om die oewers van

Suid-Afrika te verlaat.

Maar in die nagevolg van Nel-

sonMandelaendiegenenabyaan

hom, het die kwik gedaal en daar

isbesefdatopeenofandermanier

kan hierdie veelkleurige en -ras-

sige nasie probeer saamlewe.

En volgensmy beskeie mening

isJanBraai sekonsepvanBraai-

dag op Erfenisdag n gevolg van

die groot manne wat vrede in

Suid-Afrika bewaar het - dus n

briljante idee.

Almal se erfenis sluit op een of

ander manier braai in.

Ekdinkmaarnet terugaanmy

Hugenote-voorvaders wat des-

tyds in Franschhoek gebraai het.

My eerste voorvader het vanuit

FrankrykhierheenasProtestant-

se vlugteling aangekom. So be-

landdieHugenoteaandieKaapse

kus en word grond gegee in die

Franschhoek-vallei, in daardie

dae beter bekend as die plek van

Olifante.

My voorvader, Joubert, se vrou

het die skeepsreis nie oorleef nie

en toehysyvoetehieraanwal sit,

het hy sommer dadelik n plaasli-

ke vrou gevat.

Ons land is ryk aan sulke sto-

rieswat nnasieuiteindelikgebou

het.

En dan moet ons glad nie ver-

geet van die talle kleurryke in-

heemsemensewat reeds aanwal

was toe die setlaars hier aange-

land het nie.

Die stories van Shaka enDing-

aan ismaarnet nhandjievol fasi-

nerende verhale van ons plaasli-

ke stammeendaar is nog nmag-

dom van hierdie legendes wat in

ons volk se aardsgeskiedenis l.

Om terug te kom na Jan Braai

se erfeniskonsep: een ding wat

ons kleurryke nasie in gemeen

het, is seker braai.

Vir party is dit n

daaglikse noodsaak-

likheid weens die te-

kort aan krag, vir an-

der isdit n lekkerheid

waarvan hulle nie ge-

noeg kan kry nie.

As nmens so om n

braaivuur sit en kykhoe skiet die

vlammevanuitdiehoutdie lugin,

danisdit nbynahipnotieseerva-

ring.

Ek kan in my verbeelding sien

hoe my voorvader Joubert op die

lappie grond wat aan hom gegee

is in die Franschhoek-vallei byna

verlemet sy nuwe bruid daardie

eerste aand moes vuurmaak en

so ook kosmaak daarop. Die

vlamme moes om hulle lek, soos

hul onsekere toekoms.

En ons inheemse mense het

groot fees gevier om reuse braai-

vureindiedaevoordatdiewester-

se wreld hul koninkryke verdeel

het. Die tromme is geslaan en die

gemeenskap het dikwels feesge-

vier. Dalk n n groot jag, huwe-

liksfeesvieringofdiegeboortevan

n kind wat die volk sou lei.

Dusdinkekdatdaargeenbeter

om n paar houtjies bymekaar te

skraap, hulle aan die brand te

steek en n stukkie vleis oor die

kole te gooi en te braai nie.

In die woorde van Jan Braai,

braai geliefde land - dit maak nie

saak wie jy is nie, of waar jy van-

daan kom nie.

Braai, geliefde land

DIE Derby-kragmetings die

afgelope weke het my ge-

dwingtotdievraag,watisdie

doel van interskole?

My verstaan van hierdie

jaarlikse gebeurtenis van

skole is om sport in skole te

bevorder - of hierdie egter

nog gebeur is een groot

vraag. Skolesport en in be-

sonder interskole, het in n

verryking van die skooleko-

nomiegewordenniedieont-

wikkeling van sport nie.

Ek kon nie help om on-

langs te lees hoe n oudstu-

dentgalbraakoorskoolleer-

ders wat rook, drink, vloek

en seuns wat met oorbelle

rondloop nie.

Die respek en dissipline

van leerders hetmet die jare

verdwyn. Leerders is nie

meer trots op hul skole nie,

dit is liefs n geval vanwatter

skool se leerderskandie on-

geskikste wees.

Baie van die leerders het

ookminofgeendissiplineen

skroom nie om in die open-

beer vuil taal te gebruik nie.

nWen is nwenenverloor

is swaar, maar as dit jou

trots is, is jy patrioties en

kan jy nog wen met respek

en dissipline.

Service game?

LAST week, I parked next to a

municipal van (CJ 26860) at

about 15:30 outside Game in

Paarl.

There was an employee sitting

behind the steering wheel (loo-

king very drowsy).

I had a few places to go to and

returned to my car at about

16:20 and the van and the em-

ployee were still as when I arri-

ved.

It is no wonder we have such

terrible service, plus we need to

askhow longwashe therebefore

I had arrived andhowmuch lon-

ger did he stay after I left?

Will anybody at the municipa-

lity follow this up?

Poor road works in Main Street a shock

FOLLOWING the nightmare stories of the

Wemmershoek road repairs, this has now

been followed by an identical never ending

story on the Paarl-Klapmuts road.

I would like to point out thatMain Street

south of Paarl has changed from good to

something you might encounter while

driving in themiddleof thebushsomewhe-

re. It is now what can only be described as

a total mess due to road works.

Theonlyassetthattherepairershaveuti-

lised is a front end loader that is probably

hired for the day and a few guys with spa-

des.

I travel toFranschhoekdailyontheshort

piece of road between De Soete Inval and

the turn off to Franschhoek.

This piece of road was actually quite

good, no potholes, bumps or unevenness.

Sincerepairsstarted, ithasbeenabigmess

for months.

Why was the left hand lane patched and

screededandthenitcollapsedandwastorn

upand removed? It is nowa gravel road lit-

tered with big pieces of concrete.

Why did the right hand side, after it was

patchedcollapse to suchanextent that the

road had to be closed?

Why are there no warning lights to warn

motorists of danger at night?

Excuses, explanations and rhetoric will

not solve this, only theappointment of pro-

fessional companieswith themanagement

andresourcestodosuchworktofirstworld

standards.

If theProvincialAuthoritiesare too farre-

moved from the local conditions, the local

Municipalityshouldrepresent itsconstitu-

ents and sort out the mess.

Nonotice is takenof individuals by these

construction companies, as they are fully

aware that they do not have to take indivi-

duals seriously.

Ghost Buster

AdrianSkeaofUWPEngineers responds: The ro-

adworksonthissectionofthewestboundcarria-

geway of MR189 comprised re-working of a 200

m section of the outer lane and patching on the

inner lane.

The200msectionoftheouter laneiscurrent-

ly still closed to traffic as the repaired layer can-

not currently beprimedor re-surfaceddue to re-

cent heavy rains and highmoisture contents in

the layer.

The road works on the west bound inner lane

comprised base patching. The contractors

workmanshiponthesepatcheswasnotuptothe

required standard and they were formally rejec-

ted by the resident engineer.

These patches also started to ravel and form

potholes.Thetrafficwasthusdeviatedon16and

17 August onto a 250m section of New Eskdale

Street for aperiodof48hourswhile thecontrac-

tor rectified these rejected base patches at his

own cost. Traffic will now remain on the inner

west bound lane on this section of MR189 until

weather conditions allow theouter lane to be re-

surfaced.

Hier red hulle lewens

EKwas onlangs in die noodkamer by Paarl

Hospitaal en was bendruk met wat ek ge-

sien het.

Ek is deur die ambulans daarheen ge-

neem omdat ek erge asemnood gehad het

weens bronchitis.

Ek is gou gehelp en het n deel van die

nag in die noodsaal deurgebring op suur-

stof.

In die ure wat ek daar was (van 22:00 tot

03:00 die volgende oggend) het ek gesien

hoeharddaardiemensewerk, enhoehulle

lewens red.

Ek het wonderlike behandeling ontvang

en haal my hoed af vir die personeel.

Ek dink daar is baie mense wat onnodig

bydiehospitaalopdaagomdat nkindkoor-

sig is of iemandmaagpyn het. Dit is nie die

plek om te gaan met minder ernstige pro-

bleme nie - daarvoor het jy die kliniek wat

jymrekanbesoek,andersgaanjyheelnag

daar sit sonder behandeling, want daar is

ernstige siekmensewat gehelpmoetword.

Ekhet homnamyhuis inSmithstraat geneemwaar

hy heel tuis was tussen my drie honde, vertel Margo,

maar skaars n uur later was hy skoonveld.

Ons is oortuig dat Tangu gesteel is. Daar is te veel

gerugte van hierdie soort hondewat grootgemaakword

vir hondegevegte, asook van teling vir hierdie doelein-

des.

n Beloning word aangebied vir die veilige terugkoms

vanTangu.Enigiemandmet inligtingkanMargoskakel

Die diefstal van veral pitbul-terrirs is geen vreemde

verskynsel nie.

nKleinDrakenstein veearts, drRolandBellstedt, het

ges dat die aanhou van pitbul-terrirs met n geweldig

probleem gepaard gaan.

Hulle word nie verniet Amerikaanse veghonde ge-

noemnie.Hulle iseeuegeledeinAmerikageteel,dikwels

virvegdoeleindes,asookomontsnapteslaweaantekeer.

Allepitbul-terrirsvalnieonderhierdiekategorienie,

maar daar is sekere bloedlyne wat nie ontslae geraak

het van hierdie gene nie.

Bellstedt het ges

dat hondegevegte n

reuse bedryf is.

Menskannetsien

in die strate van die

Paarl hoe spanne

jongmans met pit

bulterrirs stap.

Hierdie honde

word nie aangehou

deur diereliefheb-

bers nie, maar deur

diegene wat betrok-

keisbyhondegeveg-

te.

Volgensmy inlig-

tingwordhierdiebe-

dryf regeer deur

bendes en een keer

n jaar word n groot

nasionale geveg ge-

hou waarby prys-

geld van R4 miljoen

betrokke is.

Alles vind in ge-

weldige geheimhou-

ding plaas en senior

amptenare en wets-

toepassers isookglo

hierby betrokke.

In die aanloop

worddaargevegte in

talle dorpe gehou

waartydens die

bloed letterlik loop.

Dit is gruwelik en honde word nie

net totdiedoodverskeurnie,maar

as hulle volgens hul eienaar nie

presteer nie, sal die hond sommer

net daar en dan doodgemaak

word.

Behalwediewreedheidvanhier-

die sogenaamde sport, word die

honde dikwels in uiters swak toe-

stande aangehou.

Hulle word dalk goed gevoer,

maarhul eienaarsglodathullebe-

ter veghonde raak as hulle in n

Kleiner diertjies soos katte,

hoenders en babahondjies word

ook gebruik as lokaas om vir hulle

te leer baklei.Hierdie diertjiesword

deur die veghonde verskeur in aanloop tot n geveg.

Bellstedt het bygevoeg dat omdat hierdie honde-eie-

naars ook nie die nodige mediese behandeling aan hul

diere toediennie,dradiehondedikwelssiektesenpara-

siete wat aan die mens oorgedra kan word.

Die gesondheidsrisiko is geweldig en diemunisipali-

teit slaan nie ag hierop nie. Hulle verontagsaamhul eie

wette deurdat hulle nie hul bywette oor die aanhou van

diere polisieer nie.

Verskeie lande het baie streng wette oor die aanhou

van pitbul-terrirs. In Australi byvoorbeeld, mag hier-

diehondeslegsaangehouwordindienhullegesteriliseer

is en n mikroskyfie moet ingeplant word.

Bellstedt het bygevoeg dat indien hondeliefhebbers

wel npitbul-terrirastroeteldierwilaanhou,moethulle

ook die bogenoemde doen.

* Verlede jaar was werknemers van die Wellington

DBVgeskoktoehullebeslaggelhetopnjongpitbul-ter-

rir waarvan die ore met n skr gesny was.

Die praktyk om honde se ore te sny is onwettig.

Die DBV is oortuig dat die eienaar van hierdie hond

hom gereed gemaak het vir onwettige hondegevegte.
