FERNDALE, SPRINGBOKPARK: BEJAARDE EGPAAR DEUR ROWERS OORROMPEL

Skokaanval op seniors

DESIRE RORKE

@dezzierorke

D

ie gemeenskappe van Ferndale en

Springbokpark is noumeer ophulhoe-

de as ooit vantevore n n skokaanval

verlede Woensdag op n bejaarde egpaar.

Die egpaar van in hul tagtigs is omstreeks

15:00 by hul huis in Janiestraat deur huisro-

wers oorrompel.

n Inwoner, wat voor die polisie of nood-

dienste op die toneel was, vertel: Toe ons

daar kom, het die oom buite op die gras gel.

Hy het n kopwond opgedoen wat baie ge-

bloei het enhykonskaarspraat.Dit is duide-

lik dat hy n groot baklei opgesit het. Hy het

vreeslik gelyk met rooipers merke aan sy

keel. Die tannie was binne-in die huis en in

erge skok en was ook glad nie in staat om

met ons te praat nie. Volgens di inwoner

wat liefs anoniemwil bly, was daar ook rooi

merke aan haar keel en was haar klere ge-

skeur. Haar vingers was ook verniel soos

haaraanvaller probeerhet omhaar trouring

af te ruk. Die Brackenfell-polisie het later

bevestig dat sy gewurg was.

Sy het gesit en televisie kyk toe sy oor-

rompel is. Die verdagte het haar verwurg en

eers laat gaan nadat sy gemaak het of sy

reeds flou was, s ao. Erica Crous van die

Brackenfell-polisie.

Volgens Crous het die rower toegang tot

die huis deur die motorhuis verkry.

Die man het later van buite af ingekom

en is ook oorrompel.Hyhet egtermet sy aan-

valler tot in die motorhuis gestoei, waar hy

losgekom het en na die bure toe gehardloop

het vir hulp, waarna die rower weggehard-

loop het, s Crous.

Hy het weggekommet n ring, horlosie en

kontant.

Die huis se agterkant grens aan Ou Paarl-

weg en daar word vermoed dat die rowers

vanagter af gekomhet enweer s opdieR300

ontsnap het, s die inwoner.

Volgens hom het niemand in die straat n

onbekende voertuig gesien kom of gaan nie.

Die bejaarde man het glo daagliks in sy

tuin gewerk en sy motorhuis se deur het ge-

reeld oopgestaan.Die gemeenskap is diep ge-

skok. Onskannie glo dat iemand so iets aan

weerlose ou mense kan doen nie. Wat gaan

in hul koppe aan? vra hy.

As gemeenskap was ons nog altyd baie

waaksaam met n goed ondersteunde buurt-

wag, maar nou is ons op full alert.

X1R8L9UW-AL300316

Soms kan net n mens met n droom nu-

we bakens van lig in die donkerste nag

aansteek.

Ingrid de Jager (53), die stigter vanCare

Career Connection (CCC) in Muldersvlei,

net duskant Kaapstad se noordelike voor-

stede, is een s n merkwaardige mens.

Omdat sy dit gewaag het om te droom

en ook vanwe haar onwrikbare dryf-

krag, kan mense met intellektuele ge-

stremdhede vandag ook beroepskeuses in

die hoofstroom-samelewing van Suid-

Afrika uitoefen.

Di ma van twee dogters, Linsey (29) en

Kelly (27) albei met spesiale intellektue-

le behoeftes, het bykans twee dekades ge-

lede besef daar ismin fasiliteite virmense

met intellektuele uitdagings.

Alle jongmense het drome en ekhet be-

sef ek moet n verskil probeer maak om

kinders soos my eie in staat te stel om hul

volle potensiaal as volwassenes te ontwik-

kel, verduidelik sy.

Internasionale neiging

Vanwe haar betrokkenheid van meer

as 27 jaar by die Down-sindroomvereni-

ging van die Wes-Kaap, het sy bewus ge-

raak van die internasionale neiging om

mensemet spesiale behoeftes by die same-

lewing te betrek.

In 2003 het Ingrid, toe 40, ondersteunde

indiensneming (supported employ-

ment) by die Virginia Commonwealth-

universiteit in Amerika gaan studeer.

Nadat sy die kursus voltooi het, het In-

grid begin om haar droom te formuleer

om deur middel van ondersteunde in-

diensneming mense met intellektuele ge-

stremdhede te bemagtig om hul eie be-

roepskeuses te kan maak. Dit moenie

met beskermde arbeid verwar word nie.

Eers in 2013, tien jaar n haar aanvank-

like studies, het Ingrid wat ook meer as

32 jaar se ervaring in finansile bestuur

het CareCareerConnection, n organisa-

sie sonderwinsmotief, inKaapstad gestig.

Ek was byna 50 en het besluit dis nou

of nooit. Ek het uitmywerk as n finansi-

le bestuurder van n eiendomsontwikke-

lingsmaatskappy bedank en met Care Ca-

reer Connection begin.

S het hulle begin om mense te bemag-

tig wat dikwels as die vergete randfigure

in die samelewing uitgeskuif word.

Integrale deel

Dit is juis n integrale deel van Ingrid

se visie om erkenning te gee aan die ver-

mons vanmensemet intellektuele uitda-

gings pleks van hul onvermons, en dt

verder te ontwikkel.

Care Career Connection spreek die te-

kort aan opleidingsfasiliteite en onder-

steunde indiensneming aan deur hierdie

jongvolwassenesn skool in n gespesiali-

seerde omgewing te plaas waar hul le-

wens- sowel as professionele vaardighede

leer, voordat ons hulle verdere steun bied

met proeflopies vir werk in die praktyk

self en uiteindelik n plasing by n werk-

plek in die samelewing vir die beroep wat

hulle graag wl volg, s sy.

Ons help ook volwassenes wat wel

voorheen n werk gehad het, maar toe

dalk hul werk verloor het weens n onge-

luk of die diagnose van n psigiese siekte,

met hertoetrede tot die arbeidsmark.

Die CCC lei voorts professionele in-

diensnemingspesialiste op om hierdie

voornemende werknemers te ondersteun

sodat hulle aan die vereistes vanpotensi-

le werkgewers kan beantwoord.

Ons internet-gebaseerde opleidings-

modelle verseker optimale blootstelling

oor Suid-Afrika en Afrika heen. Dit is dus

moontlik omprofessionelemense op te lei

en die opleidingsvaardighede te verskaf

wat nodig is om intellektueel gestremdes

selfs in diemees afgele gebiede van Suid-

Afrika op te lei en te bemagtig.

Die uitdaging is ook om die sosiale stig-

ma aan mense met gestremdhede uit te

wis. In elke gemeenskap is mense met in-

tellektuele gestremdhede wat oor groot

potensiaal beskik.

Gemeenskappe moet hierdie mense

leer aanvaar as waardevolle lede van so

n gemeenskap.Die hele konsep is ooknog

betreklik nuut in Suid-Afrika. Die bedie-

ningsgebied is ook te groot vir interne op-

leiding, en internetopleiding kan tans nog

nie ten volle toegepaswordnie. Verder sal

die volhoubaarheid van inkomste wat uit

donasies verkry word, altyd n struikel-

blok wees.

Suksesvolle indiensplasing

n Voorbeeld van so n suksesvolle in-

diensplasingwat die lewe van een van hul

klinte verander het, is JohanniqueWilli-

ams (21) van Jamestown, Stellenbosch.

Hierdie jong meisie was n introvert

wat nie juis gekommunikeer het nie,

maar gaande is oor kuns, veral kleur.

Haar droom was om haarself met kreati-

witeit te omring, onthou Ingrid.

Deur middel van Care Career Connec-

tion het sy n internskap by die P.J. Oli-

vier-kunssentrum op Stellenbosch gekry.

Sy het dit veral vreeslik geniet om met

jongkinders tewerken is vandag ngeluk-

kige, vriendelike en toegewyde jong mei-

sie. Ons is steeds besig om n voltydse po-

sisie vir haar te beding.

As gemeenskap kn ons n verskil in

een van hierdie mense se lewe maak.

Aktiviste sorg vir drama by sirkus

David McLaren staan voor een van sy waens wat gevandaliseer is. FOTO: DESIRE RORKE

DESIRE RORKE

@dezzirorke

K

ort nadat die McLaren-sirkus verlede

week in Brackenfell aangekom het,

het n klein sirkussie van sy eie op die

terrein afgespeel toe diereregte-aktiviste

die sirkusbaas, David McLaren, na bewe-

ring met sy lewe gedreig het.

Die groep genaamd 269 Life het volgens

McLaren n die middagvertoning Vrydag

by die sirkus aangekom.

Ek het die twee vroue in die groep naby

die dierehokke betrap waar hulle virmy ge-

s het hulle gaan die diere vrylaat, s

McLaren. Toe ek hulle aanspreek om weg

te beweeg van die hokke af, omdat hulle hul

eie lewens en di van die publiek in gevaar

stel, het een van die vroue my met vloek-

woorde toegesnou en ges sy gaanmy dood-

maak.

Volgens McLaren het hulle ook teen sir-

kuspersoneel uitgevaar, in volle sig van die

publiek wat na die diere kom kyk het. Twee

van die sirkustrokke is ook met spuitverf

gevandaliseer met die woorde 269 Life in

groot rooi letters. Toe hulle in n rooi Golf

weggejaag het, het hulle kru tekens na my

gewys en geskreeu: Sien jou mre! Ons het

n verrassing vir jou!, vertel McClaren.

Hy het ook fotos hiervan aan TygerBur-

ger gestuur. Volgens McLaren is 269 Life n

vegetarir-ekstremistiese groep wat welbe-

kend is in Kaapstad vir die skoktaktiek wat

hulle tydens protesaksies gebruik.

Hulle kryt almal uit wat vleis eet as

moordenaars en plak gereeld afstootlike

plakkers op vleis- en melkprodukte op su-

permarkrakke, s hy.

VolgensMcLaren is die taktiekwalglik in

sommige gevalle. Ek het nie n probleem

met ander mense se menings nie en ook nie

met hul reg om vreedsaam te betoog nie.

Maar hierdie groep vat dit net te ver, buite

die grense van die wet. Hulle het nie die reg

om ander mense te terroriseer of hul eien-

dom te beskadig nie, s hy.

Hy s daar word baie goed na sy diere om-

gesien. Ons word streng deur die Dierebe-

skermingsvereniging gereguleer, wat reeds

hier op die terreinwas vir n inspeksie. Die

diere word gevoer en in gemaklike kampe

aangehou uit die son en op n sagte voer-

vloer.

Bevry diere van slawerny

Die groep beskryf hul doelstelling op hul

webwerf en Facebook-blad as n wreldwye

beweging wat daarna streef om alle diere

van uitbuiting en slawerny te bevry.

Fotos van vorige protesaksies waar be-

bloede betogers in vleispakkies toegedraai

en opgekap word, word op die groep se

Facebook-blad uitgestal.

Daar is ook fotos van die plakkers wat

hulle op melk en vleis in supermarkte plak.

Dit lees as volg: Nie jou ma nie? Nie jou

melk nie! en Jou kos het n gesig, sy bloed

is op jou hande. Daar is ook n foto van n

speelgoedhasie met n doringkroon op die

kop wat op n houtkruis vasgemaak is.

Die groep het McLaren se aantygings ten

sterkste ontken.

Ons het geensins enige doodsdreigemen-

te teenoor David of enigiemand anders ge-

maak nie. Ons protesaksie was vreedsaam

en ons het geen persoonlike kommentaar

rondgeslinger nie, watmeer is aswatMcLa-

ren kan s, het Melanie Thomet, n woord-

voerder van die organisasie, ges.

Vir so lank as wat diere uitgebuit word,

sal ons daar wees om kapsie aan te teken

en op te staan vir die lot van di wat nie in

staat is om vir hulself te praat nie, naamlik

die diere! het sy bygevoeg.

Hulle ontken ook dat hulle die diere wou

vrylaat of dat hulle die trokke gespuitverf

het. Ons is juis besorg oor die veiligheid

en die gemak van die diere en sal dus nooit

die diere in n betonoerwoud loslaat nie,

dis te gevaarlik.Dis onsinnig enbelaglikdat

hy so n aantyging maak!

Ons weet ook nie wie ons naam op die

sirkuswaens gespuitverf het nie. Daarvoor

kan ons nie krediet neem nie, s sy.

Thomet s daar is niks ekstreem daaraan

wanneer nmens absoluut alles en enigiets

in jou mag doen om die uiterste wreedheid

en misbruik teenoor onskuldige diere, vir

die vermaak van die mensdom, stop te sit

nie. Ons aksies is niks in vergelykingmet

wat diemensdom elke dag aan ons broeders

en susters in die diereryk doen nie.

Die Brackenfell-polisie het bevestig dat

McLaren die voorval by hulle gerapporteer

het. Ons het gevolglik verledeweek n paar

patrollies in die omgewing van die sirkus-

terrein gedoen, het n polisiewoordvoerder

ges.

McLaren,watBrackenfell jaarliks besoek

met sy sirkus, s kaartjieverkope was tot

dusver toe nog uitstekend.

DESIRE RORKE

@dezzierorke

S

hould money become available on

time, critically needed traffic calming

measures will be rolled out on Protea

Road before December this year.

Residents in Protea Heights fear the day

a child gets killed on this notoriously dan-

gerous road, which passes Bastion Primary

one of the biggest primary schools in the

Western Cape where many children cross

each day.

Resident Annemarie Kleynhans recently

asked in a plea to the City of Cape Town:

Whatwill it take for authorities todo some-

thing about this? Must a child first lose

their life?

According to Kleynhans, whose own

daughter has had many close calls on the

pedestrian crossing on her way to school,

she has had very little official response

from the City since applying for speed

bumps in December 2014.

After the tragedy which took place near

Brackenfell Boulevard recently, you should

realise how dangerous the situation on

busy roads are for our children, she said.

Kleynhans referred to the accident which

claimed the life of primary school learner

Eli Mazibuko last year, when she crossed

Frans Conradie Road on her way to school.

Brett Herron, Mayco member for trans-

port, last week confirmed that the request

for traffic calming measures along Protea

Road has been approved.

According to him, three raised intersec-

tions have been proposed for Protea Road.

An additional traffic calming budget is

being made available for the 2016/17 finan-

cial year. This project will form part of the

2016/17 implementation plan. If all goes ac-

cording to plan, themeasures will be imple-

mented before December 2016, he toldTyg-

erBurger last week.

Herron explains the delay in this applica-

tion as follows: Each year Transport for

Cape Town, the Citys transport authority,

receives more than 400 requests for the im-

plementation of traffic calming measures.

We have actually seen a steady increase

in the number of requests over the last few

years due to the deterioration in driver dis-

cipline and a general disregard for the rules

of the road by all road users. We are dealing

with a backlog of 500 traffic calming pro-

jects to the value of R30 million, he says.

The traffic calming measures along Pro-

tea Road alone are estimated to be R240 000

and can only be implemented once funding

becomes available in the next financial

year, starting 1 July 2016, he says.

According to another resident, Liezel

Louw, cars do not stop at the zebra crossing

and shehas towalkher sonacross. Resident

Elize Snyman says she witnessed how an

impatient driver one morning nearly

knocked over a child who was crossing the

road at the zebra crossing with the help

of a teacher in reflective clothing.

It baffles me that the Citys excuse for

taking so long to implement thesemeasures

is due to funding, because I cant under-

stand where the funding for all the speed

bumps around the new high school in Pro-

tea Heights came from, and how that was

prioritised, Kleynhans adds.

Wewill have to wait and see if thismate-

rialises, but in the end the City may have

to consider traffic lights on this road.

D

ie boodskap oor die bejaarde ma van

n Bellville-inwoner het tot so ver as

Upington gedraai in die familie se soe-

ke na haar. Di tannie is egter binne twee

dae lewend gevind nadat sy voor n trein

beland het.

Hester Aggenbach (66) woon in Die Her-

berg-losieshuis vir bejaardes in Ou Paarl-

pad en het verlede Vrydag gaan stap, soos

dit haar gewoonte is.

Hester het egter nie teruggekeer nie en

haar dogter, Elzan-

ne Wolstenholme,

het n soektog ook

op Facebook van

stapel gestuur, wat

twee dae later in die

Karl Bremer-hospi-

taal ten einde ge-

loop het.

TygerBurger is

deur die redakteur

van n koerant op

Upington, die Kala-

hari Bulletin, ver-

soek om ook deel te

neem aan die soek-

tog na Hester, wat

toe laas in Bellville

gewaar is.

Hoewel Hester

kort daarna onge-

deerd gevind is,

meen Elzanne dat

dit nie n egte suk-

sesverhaal is nie,

want die nuus wat

hulle by die hospi-

taal ontvang het,

was nie goed nie.

Wat gebeur het,

is dat sy voor n

trein ingespring het, s Elzanne. Ons het

ook nie geweet wat ons gaan kry nie leef

sy? Het sy iets oorgekom? Dit was n baie

stresvolle tyd, s sy.

Elzanne en ander bekommerde familiele-

de het kort n Hester se verdwyning laas

Vrydag die polisie, asook die Pink Ladies-

organisasie,wathulle beyweromvermistes

te help opspoor, gebel het en het daarna in

hul motors geklim en self begin soek.

Ons het begin rondry van hospitaal tot

hospitaal en gevra of daar enige onbekende

vroue ingekomhet. ByKarl Bremer het hul-

le ges ene Marge het ingekom.

Ek het gevra om togmaar te sien hoe di

Marge lyk. Dit was toe my ma sy was baie

deurmekaar en het gedink haar naam is

Marge. Toe ek haar sien, het sy namy gekyk

en nie dadelik geweet wie ek is nie, vertel

Elzanne.

Sy s haar ma ly aan erge depressie

waarskynlik hoekom sy n einde aan haar

lewe wou maak by die Bellville-treinstasie.

Iemand het haar gered en die polisie het

haar toe na die hospitaal geneem. Sy ly aan

erge depressie en l tans nog in die hospi-

taal.

Ons dink dit spruit alles uit die feit dat

my broer 16 jaar gelede vermoor is, s El-

zanne. Alles het mos n sneeubal-effek. Ek

dink nie haar depressie is n geheim nie.

Elzanne vertel hoe

haar broer, Cornelus

Aggenbach, op 25-ja-

rige ouderdom ver-

moor is.

Hy het sy eie on-

derneming gehad en

terwyl hy by die

werkwas, is hy dood-

geskiet.

Elkeen van ons

word geraak deur die

geweld in ons land,

maar 16 jaar later sit

onsnoumet die onge-

looflike probleem

van die depressie

van my ma, s sy.

Hoewel dit beter

met haar ma gaan en

hulle elke dag op die

foon praat, is die pad

na herstel vir Hester

maar n lang een,

meen Elzanne.

Sy vorder, maar

dis natuurlik baie

stadig. Dit was maar

n verskriklike ding

en baie erg.

Elzaan loof die

Pink Ladies wat die wiel aan die rol gesit

het om haar ma te help opspoor.

Die Pink Ladies was absoluut fantasties.

Ek het hulle gebel, toe n e-pos gestuur en

hulle het n vorm gestuur. Nie eens n uur

daarna nie, toe het ons n strooibiljet. Dit

het soos n veldbrand versprei op Face-

book.

Elzanne se wens is dat depressielyers

hulp moet aanvaar wat deur bekommerde

familie en vriende aangebied word.

Hulle moet hulp aanvaar en besef hulle

is nie alleen nie. Ek weet n depressielyer

voel baie kere alleen in wat hulle deurgaan,

maar as familie en vriende wil help, moet

hulle dit aanvaar en nie mense wegstoot

nie.

Hester Aggenbach, soos sy op die Pink

Ladies-biljet verskyn het. Sy was vir twee dae

vermis.

DESIRE RORKE

@dezzierorke

T

he animal bylaw in respect of barking

dogs may be frowned upon by many

residents as nonsensical, but the City

ofCapeTown is adamant this bylawcanand

is still enforced in a very practical sense.

TygerBurger regularly receives com-

plaints from readers lamenting over their

rowdy neighbourhood dogs, coupled with

theCitys inability to enforce the bylaw that

regulates this.

In most cases it transpires that the nui-

sance dog, after being reported to Law En-

forcement, will be considerably quiet when

the officers arrive on the premises. This

makes it impossible for them to take lawful

action against the dog owner. Such a case

is subsequently closed, until another is

opened.

How do you prove this?

In terms of the above bylaw, no dog is al-

lowed to bark for more than three minutes

successively in half an hour, or six minutes

successively in an hour.

But how do you prove this?

As is the case in any other legal matter,

sufficient evidence is needed to prosecute

such a case in the municipal courts.

In this instance, a complete barking

monitoring schedule aswell as audio-visu-

al material would be needed, according to

the Citys Mayco member of Safety and Se-

curity, JP Smith.

Smith says just because many of the com-

plaints encountered cannot always be cor-

roborated by the investigating officials who

have to monitor the dogs at the identified

locations, it does not mean the bylaw is not

being contravened.

... Obviously the officers cannot moni-

tor the location on a 24-hour basis, he says.

Enforcement action will therefore in-

volve an initial compliance notice directing

the dog owner to remedy the situation.

In the event of non-compliance this will

be followed, in most cases, by the compila-

tion of a docket containing the complain-

ants affidavit, which includes a barking

monitoring schedule and whatever audio-

visual evidence is available, so that the dog

owner can be summoned to court on the

prosecutors instruction, he says.

Smith however does not clarify how this

would be done in the absence of adequate

manpower needed to constantly monitor

such premises.

However an officer, he says, may also opt

to issue awritten notice for the owner to ap-

pear in court with the option of paying an

admission of guilt fine.

Admission of guilt fine

When this happens, the fine is issued,

paid and the offender, would be on his

way, often leaving the cause of the problem

unresolved, says a TygerBurger source.

In other cases, dog owners do comply to

notices to try and find out why their dogs

bark, and take action, but often work full

days and simply have no control over their

dogs barking habits during the day.

The issue evidently posing several chal-

lenges, TygerBurger asked Smith whether

it really made sense to utilise their limited

manpower on such cases and whether the

City have had any successful court appear-

ances in this regard.

No specific answerwas forthcoming from

Smith, however.

The City also did not respond as towheth-

er they are looking into other more practi-

cal solutions, which might see this bylaw

amended.

T

hey are just children who like to climb

trees and play in the park, not unlike

their more privileged counterparts

who live in Stellenberg, where these Delft

children come to beg.

They refers to five minor children who

aremade to hitchhike into this affluent area

and go from door to door to beg.

When this happened on Saturday after-

noon, a social work student who is also di-

rector of an organisation that champions re-

sponsible giving, happened to see them and

engage with them about this dangerous and

unhealthy activity.

Lucinda Valentine, director of GiveWise,

approached the five as they went along

knocking on doors, trying for anything from

bread to small change.

These children have been spotted previ-

ously begging within the community of Stel-

lenberg and asked why they were begging.

They told me they were hungry and that

there was nothing to eat at home. The chil-

dren are from Delft, Valentine says.

Their names are Ostino (12), the cousin of

siblings Morisha (13) and Grashen (12), and

a secondpair of siblings,Nicole (13) andAsh-

wyn (10). [The childrens surnames arewith-

held.]

The latter pairs mom is 43 years old and

unemployed, they toldValentine. The grand-

mother of the first three looks after them,

and she is also unemployed. Both families

live off social grants, Valentine says.

Nicole mentioned that her mother does

not receive Sassa payments for all the chil-

dren she takes care of, due to reasons she

wasunsureof. This couldbe lackof birth cer-

tificates, and so forth. Nicole mentioned her

mother has not followed up on applications

for them either, for whatever reason, Val-

entine says.

The area they live in is very dangerous

and they were informing me of shootings

and holdups that happen close towhere they

live.

They hitchhiked to Stellenberg and

would need to hitchhike back, but only after

they could get at least a bread to take home,

Valentine says.

The entire conversation, she says, took

place in the car park of the Stellenberg Spar

and in the adjacent field, where two of the

boys were playing in a tree like any regular

child would do, Valentine says.

Hope never fails, and Valentine may have

something up her sleeve, she says.

There are not enough self-sustaining or-

ganisationsworkingwithinDelft. Delft is on

GiveWises priority list in thenext twoyears

to create an action team like we have in

Fisantekraal to get all prevention focused

organisations on the same page.

Valentinehopes to do this so all these orga-

nisations can focus collaboratively on

strengthening the community from within

byworking together and strengthening each

other, instead of starting new projects all

the time and organisations that close down

two to three years down the line, she says.

You can tell from the kids eyes and the

scars on their faces and general appearance

that life has not treated them well. But be-

yond all of it, they still called me Tannie

and were very open to chat to me, she says.

The families rent wendy houses on the

same backyard and it is about R250 a month

for rent. The electricity is shared and they

need to pay for that too, Valentine says.

I will need to arrange a task team to es-

cort me and some people into the area to go

chat to the granny and mom to see how bet-

ter we are able to assist them long term and

sustainably.

Valentine once again implored the public

not to give irresponsibly.

As I was talking to the kids in the car

park, a guy came up to the kids to give them

change in a bank bag. I politely asked him

to not give it to them. I said it in front of the

kids. That guy doesnt realise he is support-

ing child labour.

Janice Sparg agrees. She is the chairper-

son of the Western Cape Street Childrens

Forum.

Firstly, there is no one to regulate the

begging. Thepublicmust help. Take the chil-

dren to a police station straight away if

there is a child on the streets, we should do

something, she says.

The law says only a designated social

worker from a registered child protection

agency or a police officer may take a child

from where they are, but quite often the so-

cial workers are single women and scared

to move in the areas in which they are need-

ed which isunderstandable and thepolice

just do not respond.

We are busyworking on gaps and blocka-

ges in the procedure of taking kids off

streets. Lindelani Home in Stellenboschwas

determined as the standardised intake cen-

tre for street children, so social workers will

not have to struggle to place children. Also,

the children canbe removed from the streets

immediately, Sparg says.

Parents who are sending their children

to beg should be charged with child labour

and neglect. Parents are getting away with

not parenting properly. It is a vicious cycle

and their children are placed in dangerous

situations on the streets.

you feel compelled to do so, or not, at briewe@tyger-

The Bellville Philatelic Society invites

the public to be their guests and learn

the

advertise-

ment in

Cape

Town.

First kiss for safety

Researchhas shown that increased seatbelt

compliance will mean thousands of lives

saved that would otherwise have been lost

in the horrific crashes that plague our

roads, says Donald Grant, provincial min-

ister for transport and public works.

In a statement to the media last week he

emphasised the fact that vehicle occupants

drivers and passengers continue to con-

stitute the majority of all road deaths in the

province.

In response to the neglect of this basic

rule, Safely Home has launched the First

Kiss multimedia campaign during the

month of March.

Says Grant: Research and statistics have

shown that failure to use a seatbelt is a cer-

tain route to death or serious injury during

collisions.

When a motor vehicle crashes, the occu-

pants who are not restrained, continue to

move forward at the same speed atwhich the

vehicle was travelling before the collision.

They are catapulted forward into the

structure of the vehicle or other occupants,

or hurled from the vehicle to almost certain

death, he says.

The campaign consists of a series of radio

advertisements, billboards, cinema ad

bumpers at allmajor cinemas, and is live on-

line on Facebook and Twitter.

It is anchored by the Fist Kiss television

commercial, which launched on Friday 18

March and was first aired on SABC1 during

the screening of an episode of local soapie

Generations.

It will air on all three SABC channels as

well as eTV, kykNET, and CTV, and can be

viewed at https://safelyhome.western-

cape.gov.za/

The First Kiss commercial is adapted

from the Damage advertisement produced

by the Northern Ireland Department of the

Environment.

Grant says this advertisement was credit-

ed by the IrishRoadSafetyAuthority as hav-

ing brought about a 100% increase in back-

seat seatbelt wearing and 50% increase in

front seatbealt wearing rates in Ireland and

Northern Ireland.

Grant adds: Not wearing a seatbelt is

against the law. It is also extremely danger-

ous not just for you, but for other people

in the vehicle as well.

n

Hartseer toneel het verlede Dinsdag-

aand in Peerless Park-Wes afgespeel

toe die 29-jarige seun van n winkel-

eienaar deur rowers doodgeskiet is.

Garth Sass wat met tye van die voorval in

die rigting van die AME-kafee op die hoek

van Agste Laan en Versterstraat gestap het,

vertel: Ek het omstreeks 19:30 kafee toe ge-

stap toe ek vier skote hoor klap het. Drie

mans het uit die winkel gehardloop terwyl

n vierde buite in n swart Golf gesit en wag

het. Hulle het dadelik weggejaag, vertel hy.

Ek het uit vrees en skok omgedraai en

weggehardloop, maar het kort daarna saam

met die res van die gemeenskap uitgevind

vandiemoordnadat die polisie en ambulans

op die toneel aangekom het.

Volgens Sass het erg geskokte lede van die

gemeenskap tot omstreeks 23:00

buite die kafee saamgedrom, ter-

wyl familielede van die oorlede-

ne soontoe gestroom het.

Dit was baie hartseer, juis

omdat ons almal die familie ken.

Vir so lank as wat ek hier woon,

ken ek al die familie. Hulle be-

dryf jare lank al die winkel, wat

sinoniem is met ons gemeen-

skap, s hy.

Hy beskryf die oorledene, wie

se volle name nie bekend is aan

hom nie, as n goeie mens met n

goeie hart wat altyd probeer

help het waar hy kan.

Ons ken hulle al die jare net

as Modji en Baj. By die winkel

het ons altyd gesels en veral n

my egskeiding n paar jaar gele-

de het hy my gereeld moed ingepraat. Hy

was vriendelik, liefdevol en spontaan. Dis

baie hartseer en ons as gemeenskap is erg

geruk, s hy.

Met TygerBurger se besoek aan die kafee

Woensdagoggend was die gebou toegesluit

en verlate.

n Handgeskrewe kennisgewing was op

die venster geplak wat Sharfudeen se be-

grafnis om 12:00 Woensagmiddag uit Kraai-

V

erskeieklagtes vangebrekaandiens-

lewering by die Brackenfell-ver-

keersdepartement se bestuurslisen-

siekantore is verlede week onder Tyger-

Burger se aandag gebring.

Volgens die klaers is die diens so swak

dat die toets vir leerlingbestuurders om

hul lisensie te bekom, vir onbepaalde tye

vertraag word.

As bestuursinstrukteur besoek ek ge-

reeld die kantore en die diens is tans so be-

roerd dat ons nie meer ons klinte hier-

heen kan bring nie, s n inwoner, wat

anoniem wil bly.

Volgens homstaanhydaagliks ure in die

ellelange rye iets waaroor al die bestuur-

skole in Brackenfell, volgens hom, kla.

Die kinders voltooi hul lesse en oplei-

ding, maar moet dan vir weke wag om uit

te passeer, s hy.

Dinsdagoggend was daar sowat 30 men-

se in die ry, watmet net sewe plekke in een

uur beweeg het, s hy.

Volgens die inwoner het hy inligting be-

kom dat inwoners van Durbanville al vir

langer as vier weke lank na die Bracken-

fell-kantoor verwys word, omdat die oog-

toets-masjien daar buite werking is.

TygerBurger kon tot dusver nog nie die

inligting bevestig nie, maar met n besoek

aan die Durbanville-kantoorwas daar baie

min mense in sig.

Dit was egter ni die geval in die Brac-

kenfell-kantoor nie.

Met sowat 20 mense in die tou was daar

net een uit die drie kassiervensters oop.

Nog n gefrustreerde bestuursinstruk-

teur hetmet tye van ons besoek ook sy frus-

trasie verwoord.

Ons wag n uur of langer vir n oogtoets

en dan weer n uur of twee om te betaal;

dis nou nadat ons wie weet hoe lank gewag

het net om voor in die tou te kom. Dis te

erg en almal is beneuk! s hy.

Beide bestuursinstrukteurs met wie Ty-

gerBurger gesels het, s die situasie is on-

uithoudbaar. S kan dit nie aangaan nie.

Ons sukkel om afsprake te maak vir leer-

lingbestuurders in Brackenfell en word

nou gedwing omKuilsrivier of elders heen

te ry.

Dis onregverdig teenoor die leerlingbe-

stuurders, wat as gevolg van di choas nie

hul lisensies kan kry nie.

Ons is raadop en soek antwoorde by ons

politieke verteenwoordigers, voeg een in-

woner by. Ek voel egter regtig jammer vir

die personeel. Hulle kan nie byhoumet die

toevloei van mense nie en is duidelik on-

derbeman.TygerBurgerwag tans op kom-

mentaar van die Stad Kaapstad.

n

Leeftyd van swaarkry het n

ysterouma (85) van Durban-

ville haar nie laat onderkry

nie sy laat haar selfs nog op die at-

letiekbaan geld.

Aletta Ackermann van die Onze

Molen-aftreeoord het voorverlede

Saterdag saam met haar kleindog-

ter, Shan Carlsen (23), deelgeneem

in spiesgooi en diskusgooi by die

WP-atletiekkampioenskap by die

Parow-atletiekbaan.

Dit was die sesde keer dat ouma en

kleindogter saam-saam in dieselfde

baan in onderskeidelik die senior en

meestersafdeling deelgeneem het.

Onsdeel dieselfde passie en liefde

vir die sport. Ekhet duidelik alles by

haar gerf en wil dit laat voortleef,

vertel Shan trots.

Haar oumahet twee gouemedaljes

gewen in die afdeling vir 85 tot 90

jaar sy was wel die enigste deelne-

mer terwyl Shan bronsmedaljes

in haar afdeling gewen het.

Die naaste deelnemer aanmy ou-

ma was 65 jaar oud n hele 20 jaar

jonger, vertel sy. Ystervrou is nie

eers die regte beskrywing vir haar

ou lyfie nie. Sy het in moeilike om-

standighede haar enigste dogter

grootgemaak.Haarman, Philip, is al

in 2000 oorlede. Sy het verseker dat

nie een struikelblok haar kon onder-

kry nie. Sy het alles in haar vermo

gedoen om die beste vir haar dogter

en man te gee, vertel Shan met be-

wondering.

Aletta het 55 jaar as sekretaresse

gewerk en doen steeds die boeke van

haar dogter, die bekende Erna Ac-

kermann van die gelyknamige dans-

skool.

Toe Aletta onlangs in Durbanville

intrek, was haar eerste vraag waar

sy kan oefen.Sy het vir haar n plek-

kie gaan soek om die spies en diskus

rond te gooi en oefen vir die afgelope

drie maande elke Dinsdag- en Don-

derdagoggend in die parkie langs

haar aftree-oord.

Sy het op skool in Heidelberg

(Wes-Kaap) al aan die items in die

Suidwestelike Distrikte se kampi-

oenskap deelgeneem. Sy het ook in

Junie 1997 aan die 12de wreld-vete-

ranekampioenskap in Durban deel-

geneem, waar sy derde in spiesgooi

gekom het.

Dit is al vir die afgelope 60 jaar

sedert 1948 haar jaarlikse hoogte-

punt om deel te neem, maar die feit

dat ek en sy smdeelneem, is te kos-

baar, s Shan.

Aletta het sowat 10 jaar gelede

haar regterskouer haar dominante

arm beseer en moes n skouerver-

vangingsoperasie ondergaan.

Die dokter het haar n die opera-

sie verbied om haar arm hor as 90

te lig, en ges dat sy nooit weer aan

atletiek mag deelneem nie.

Die ystervrou wat sy is, het toe

vir haarself begin afrig ommet haar

linkerarm te gooi, en van toe af het

sy links begin deelneem.

Dt wil gedoen wees!

Aletta het die linkerarm sowat

twee jaar gelede beseer en het haar-

self weer begin forseer om regshan-

dig te gooi, wat op haar ouderdom

nie veel meer skade kan aanrig nie.

Sy het intussen ook al heupver-

vangings in albei heupe en n knie-

vervanging in haar regterbeen ge-

had. Verlede jaar is sy n week voor

die WP-kampioenskap in die hospi-

taal opgeneem weens n bloedklont

in haar been.

Ek het haar die heeltyd herinner

dat ons nie hoef deel te neem nie,

want sy is immers nog in die hospi-

taal en sy het net geweier dat ek ons

albei uit die kampioenskap ont-

trek.Met pleistertjies ophaar armen

n bleek gesiggie van die narkose,

het sy vasgebyt en steeds gaan deel-

neem en boonop twee goue medal-

jes verower!

Oums is my superhero, my beste

vriendin en voorbeeld en alles waar-

oor enige kleindogter kon droom!

SLICE OF LIFE

Dis stunning

asmense hul

taal bly praat

Ek worry oor die toekoms van Afrikaans.

Die studente op varsity verkies Engels en

Afrikaanse ouers stuur hul kids na

Engelse skole.

Dis genuine shocking, hoor! Waar gaan

alles eindig as ons so reckless met ons

taal omgaan?

Gelukkig is my kids nog okay. Nou die

oggend om die brkfistafel s my laaitie

nog so tussen die gekou aan sy toast:

Dis darem cool dat ons nog in Afrikaans

skoolgaan, Pa. Pietie van langsaan moet

nou Shakespeare Primary toe en hy ken

amper nie die difference tussen yes en

no nie. Dis sad, n?

Ek kon nie help om te smile nie. Daai

kid van my sal tot op die bitter einde

fight vir sy taal. Dis actually amazing dat

so n jong kid so sterk oor sy roots voel.

Dit bly altyd vir my stunning as mense

nog goeie Afrikaans praat. Recently

luister ek op die karradio na n Engelse

radiostasie, wat n kompetisie het oor die

flavours van n

sekere ice cream.

Die eerste inbeller

s toe haar Engels

is nie hot nie, kan

sy maar Afrikaans

praat? Die omroe-

per s dis okay. Sy

s toe: Die fla-

vours is raspber-

ry, chocalate en

grape. En daar

wen sy toe wragtie!

Wys jou net: jy kn

nog presteer deur

op Afrikaans aan te

dring.

Dit hang maar van elkeen van ons af of

ons taal gaan survive of nie. Ek is so erg

oor my taal dat ek onder die stort net

Afrikaanse songs sing vir in case die

kids luister. Tot ons hond reageer net op

Afrikaanse commands. As ek vir hom s

om te sit, dan sit hy. En as ek vir hom

skree om te sjarrap, dan hou hy op

blaf.

Nou die dag stop ek by n padstalletjie

omdat hulle produkte in Afrikaans op die

plakkaat geskryf is.

Toe koop ek sommer al hulle muffins,

cupcakes en toffee apples om te wys ek

support hulle.

Van support gepraat. Ek was nooit n

Stormers supporter nie totdat ek hoor

Juan skree op die tiewie vir sy fly-half:

Pass die bal vir my! Toe s ek nog vir

my laaitie: Hoor net daar. Hy kon

netsowel ges het pass the ball to me,

maar hy hou by sy taal.

Nee kyk, Afrikaans hardloop darem nog

sterk deur party van ons se veins.

Dis s ama-a-a-a-zing, n? - Rudie van

Rensburg.

nie, sal voorkeur geniet. Verskaf asb. u naam, adres en telefoonnommer by (nie vir publikasie). Spertyd is Vrydag om 12:00

Ek het nou al vier briewe aan

die verkeersafdeling van die

Stad Kaapstad geskryf.

Die eerste was op 16 Novem-

ber 2015. Elke keer kry ek

erkenning van ontvangs met n

verwysingsnommer en dis hoe

ver ons gekom het.

Eerstens het ek gekla oor die

T-aansluiting vanuit Angelier-

straat in Brackenfell-boulevard.

As jy regs draai dorp se kant

toe, moet jy jou motor se neus

so ver in die boulevard indruk,

dat die mense vanaf Bottelary,

wat weer regs wil draai in

Angelier, jou vuil kyke gee.

Die probleem is jy kan nie

anders nie, want die plante-

groei op die hoek van die

kompleks versper jou uitsig.

As jy nie wil h n motor,

wat reguit uit die rigting van

Bottelary aanry, moet jou tref

nie, is dit veiliger om jou

motor se neus ver oor die punt

van veiligheid te stoot.

Daar was nog n paar ander

klagtes ook, soos op die hoek

van Protea/Cecil Morgan en

Brackenfell-boulevard, waar

daar gereeld ongelukke is, is

die pyltjies op die pad onlogies

en gevaarlik. Daar is nog meer,

maar ek laat dit daar.

Ek dink dis onverantwoorde-

lik en slap, want dis nou al

vier maande later.

I have lived in Welgemoed for

15 months and right from the

beginning we have had someone

climb over our fencing at least

once a month and sometimes

it seems to be weekly espe-

cially around full moon.

We had some petty theft of

goods when we first moved in,

when the garden shed was left

unlocked or a small bedroom

window was left open at night.

The culprits often leave clues

of their presence, sometimes it

is a branch broken where it

shouldnt be.

Sometimes we hear small

garden pots or the top of a bird

bath being knocked over, but by

the time we get there to check,

the culprit has already scam-

Talk on growing your ownorganic vegetables

W

ater is our most precious re-

source, so we need to explore

adapting our gardens by plant-

ing more water wise plants, says Nick Sto-

del, MD of Stodels Nurseries.

He says besides requiring less water, in-

digenous plants also reduce air pollution

and promote biodiversity and stewardship

of our natural heritage.

However, there seems to be amisconcep-

tion that indigenous plants lack colour,

which is why there has been a bit of resist-

ance to planning and planting an indige-

nous garden, says Nick, but nothing

could be further from the truth. Plants such

asgazania,bauhinia galpiniiandCapehon-

eysuckle (tecomacapensis) provide a blaze of

orange which can be contrasted with the

gentle blues of agapanthus, plumbago and

felicia. While pink indigofera and anisodon-

te and the violet flowers of tinnia barbata

can provide a pretty background to amixed

border. The possibilities and combinations

are endless.

For years the team at Stodels has been ad-

vocating indigenous gardening and at each

of the five Stodels branches one can view

awide range of indigenous plants fromvy-

gies through to Cape daisies, pincushions,

gazanias, clivias, confetti bushes, ericas

and proteas.

One spectacular but hardy plant that can

withstand periods of drought is the agapan-

thus. The thick, fleshy roots storewater and

food and they thrive and flower copiously

if planted in full sun with well drained soil

and plenty of compost.

When flowering they add lovely colour to

a garden from blue-purple to white and

sometimes even pink. Theymake attractive

container plants, even when not in flower,

and are excellent cut flowers.

Ask one of our trained staff for advice

because a properly designed indigenous

gardenwill provide loads of visual pleasure

throughout the year while saving water,

says Nick.

There is an enormous floral wealth in

theWestern Cape and itmakes sense to cap-

italise on what nature has supplied. Its a

winning combination.

Blouberg se Grant Swansby vertolk die rol van die sadistiese kolonel

Swannell.

Plaaslike

LOUISA STEYL

@lounotes

T

weeplaaslike sterre is van-

af Vrydag (1 April) in die

nuwe Afrikaanse periode-

filmModder en bloed by Ster-Ki-

nekor-teaters te sien.

Die spanne agter Leading La-

dy (Dark Matter Studios) en

Platteland (Collective Dream

Films) het kragte saamgespan

omhierdie verhaal te vertel van

n groep manne wat as krygsge-

vangenes op St. Helena-eiland

tydens die Anglo-Boereoorlog

(1899-1902) gehou word.

Modder en bloed handel ook

oorWillemMorkel (Stian Bam).

Di kryger se vrou en enigste

kind word deur Britse soldate

vermoor en hy vind homself in

n Engelse konsentrasiekamp

wat onderdie beheervandie im-

perialistiese kolonel Swannell

is. Danksy di kolonel se haat

vir Afrikaners word die krygs-

gevangenes slagoffers van mis-

handeling envernedering.Wan-

neer Willem n uitdaging aan-

vaar, is daar soete wraak in die

belangrikste rugbywedstryd

van hul lewens.

Blouberg se Grant Swansby,

bekend vir sy rolle in plaaslike

en internasionale films en tele-

visie-programme, vertolk die

rol van kolonel Swannell.

Hy beskryf die Australir as

n nare, sadistiese karakter en

die vyand in die verhaal. Die

kolonel is vreeslik lief vir rugby

en rig tot die regimentsrugby-

span af. Sy liefde vir die sport te-

samemet sy vyandigheid en die

gevangenislewe, is volgens

Grant die ruggraat van die film.

Toe Grant hoor dat regisseur

Sean Else besig was om aan

Modder en bloed te werk, het hy

voelers uitgesteek om deel van

die projek te word. Hy het deur

sy agent n oudisie-video vir die

vervaardigers gestuur. Klaar-

blyklik het hulle gevoel ek sou

die rol kon vertolk.

Edwin van der Walt van Dur-

banville speel een van die kolo-

nel se gevangenes: die 17-jarige

Marius Prinsloo.

Hy is ongelooflik gedrewe,

weet wat hy wil h en sal nie op-

hou tot hy dit gekry het nie,

vertel Edwin van sy karakter.

Edwin wou ook baie graag

deel van die produksie wees en

s hy het al verlede jaar vir sy

eerste oudisie gegaan. Dit was

baie spesiaal om saam met sul-

ke ervare filmmakers en ak-

teurs te kon werk.

Behalwe vir Grant, speel

Edwin saam met groot name

soos Bok van Blerk, Albert Ma-

ritz, Altus Theart en Deon Lotz.

Modder en bloed spog ookmet n

Britste rolverdeling wat ak-

teurs soos Charlotte Salt (Beo-

wulf/The Tudors), Patrick

Connolly (Inferno/Crus-

hed), NickCornwall (Blood

Loyal/Retribution) en

Josh Myers (The Sweeney/

Anti-Social) insluit.

Edwin s dat die fliek

Suid-Afrikaners trots sal

laat voel oor wie ons is en

waar ons vandaan kom.

Plaaslike gehore gaan die

film geniet omdat dit weer

daai Wreldbekerrugby-

gevoel van 1995 gaan terug-

bring.

Grant voeg by dat Engel-

se enAfrikaanse gehore al-

bei die fliek sal geniet.

Dis n denkbeeldige

stuk geskiedenis met ele-

mente van aksie, verraad,

lojaliteit en oorwinning,

s hy.

V Modder en Bloed sal van Vry-

dag in Ster-Kinekor-teaters te

sienwees. Besoekwww.modde-

renbloedmovie.com vir meer in-

ligting oor die film of omdie lok-

prent te sien.

Durbanville se Edwin van der Walt speel

die jong Marius Prinsloo.

If you take a stroll down Adderley

Street in the city centre, be sure to

make a stop at the new Smart Bench

on the corner of Wale Street.

In its pilot phase, the Smart Bench

is a stand-alone, entirely solar pow-

ered free Wi-Fi hotspot for public

use, complete with USB charging

points, night lighting and easy seat-

ing.

This is another boost for the Cape

as a world-class tech hub, following

significant investment by the pro-

vincial government in fibre and

wireless connectivity, as well as the

City of Cape Town, in investment in

Africas largest open access fibre net-

work, and free Wi-Fi in sites like the

nearby Company Gardens

A newuser of the Smart Bench can

connect to the Isabelo Free Wi-Fi

network to enjoy free, unlimited in-

ternet service with their smart

phone or device, and charge their

batteries at the free power point.

The Isabelo Smart Bench was in-

vented byLouiseMeek two years ago

while shewas studying for amasters

degree in urban infrastructure de-

sign and management.

Isabelo aims to reduce the digital

divide inAfrican cities and create in-

clusive, vibrant public spaces where

everyone feels welcome to sit down

and get connected, she says.

Adriaan Hugo, lead industrial de-

signer of the Isabelo Smart Bench

and co-founder of the awardwinning

Johannesburg design company Dok-

ter and Misses, sees the bench as a

groundbreaking plug andplay solu-

tion for public spaces.

It is a first forAfrica. These differ-

ent technologies have been available

on our continent for some time and

Isabelo brings them all together into

one incredible user-friendly Smart

Bench, says Hugo.

Isabelo has joined the Cape Town

Partnership andWesgro to provide a

Wi-Fi range of 15 metres around the

bench with connection speeds of up

to 10mbps.

Judy Lain, chief marketing officer

forWesgro, believes Isabelo will gen-

erate real-time data from visitors

and enable them to share informa-

tion around events in the province.

We can use these insights in our

marketing strategies to develop cam-

paigns that are highly effective and

experiences that are sharable, she

says.

Bulelwa Makalima-Ngwewana,

CEO of Cape Town Partnership, be-

lieves that busier spaces are often

safer and provide more opportuni-

ties for relationship building.

The bench is an exciting experi-

ment in placemaking, he says.

The space where its placed sud-

denly becomes more: a place to meet

people, find out information or just

relax. Given recent events in Cape

Town, the safety associated with ac-

tive public spaces has become more

important now than ever.

A

piece of Cape Towns history

has gone up for sale this week

as the first public telescope

placed on Table Mountain in 1930

was listed on www.gumtree.co.za.

The telescope was purchased in

1991 by UCT employee Julian Mey-

er, a collector of telescopes, from the

chief technical officer for a brass

scrap price. At the time, the tele-

scope had fallen out of use as its ob-

jective lens was badly cracked and

the prisms were chipped.

However, this does not mean that

the telescope has lost any of its his-

torical value.

This is obviously a very, very

rare piece and would be an amazing

restoration project or an extremely

valuable collectable for display.

Some very important people looked

through this telescope during the

years it was on the mountain, says

Meyer.

The telescope was mounted for

public viewing next to the upper ca-

ble station in 1930, just after the

opening of the cable car.

Some of the illustrious visitors

who may have peered through its

lenses include the Royal Family

during their 1947SouthAfrican tour

where they were greeted by the 77-

year old PrimeMinister Jan Smuts,

who not only hiked to the top of the

Mountain to meet them but arrived

back in town in time for a joint sit-

ting of the houses of Parliament.

Meyer was able to confirm the

telescopes authenticity via the

South African Astronomical Ob-

servatory. He also unearthed from

online archives a picture of it in

place on the mountain. A former

Zeiss employee, visiting Cape Town
