mas n blinde persoon op radio uit

te saai is net ng n uitdaging wat

Bok Radio se nuwe Spitstyd-om-

roeper, Bonita Blankenberg, met gees-

drif aangepak het.

Blind is blind, skattebolle, dit gaan

nooit verander nie, het sy koelkop ge-

skerts in reaksie op n gesprek oor wat

die politieke korrekte terme vir blinde

persone deesdae is. Jy kan nie enige ge-

stremdheid sugar coat nie. Dit is wat dit

is, en jy leef daarmee saam. Daar is nie

n boksie waarin ons as blindes hoef te

pas nie. Jy vat elke nuwe uitdaging aan

soos dit kom. Gewoonlik dinkmense dat

blinde mense nie noodwendig alles kan

saam doen nie en dis nie noodwendig

waar nie. Ek kan byvoorbeeld nie n

Boeing vlieg nie,maar kan jy?Mydrome

het nog nooit grense gehad nie. s sy.

Joernalis van beroep

Bonita (34), n joernalis van beroep, is

onlangs uit 15 kandidate gekies as die

nuwe mede-aanbieder van die radiosta-

sie se huistoegaan-program, nadat Kar-

lien Kruger die stasie in Maart verlaat

het.

Die kandidate het vooraf almal n paar

werkswinkels in die radio-uitsaaiwese

meegemaakwaarna hulle elkeen n kans

gekryhet omeenmiddag saammetHein-

rich du Plooy uit te saai. Bonita was ver-

reweg die luisteraars se gunsteling.

Om Karlien se skoene vol te staan is

nie maklik nie, maar dit is n absolute

voorreg om die geleentheid te kry.

Ekmoet myself elke nou en dan knyp

om seker te maak ek droom nie. Dat die

mense regtig dapper genoeg was om my

op die lug te sit, s Bonitaweer laggend.

Dis een kenmerk van haar wat opval-

lend is sy lag baie. Dis juis di sin vir

humor wat haar kop en skouers bo die

ander kandidate laat uitstaan het, meen

Wimpie van der Sandt, hoof- uitvoeren-

de beampte van Bok Radio.

Aansteeklike laggie

Haar aansteeklike laggie het luiste-

raars verower en daarby saamwas haar

unieke veggees n inspirasie vir baie, s

hy.

Een luisteraar het die volgende opBok

Radio se Facebook-blad geskryf. Sy is

fenomenaal! Sy het geen bang haar op

haar kop nie, dis hoekom ek haar gekies

het.

Syhet ook die beste geklink op die lug

en haar persoonlikheid het duidelik

deurgekom en dit is waaroor dit gaan in

die radio-uitsaaiwese. Sy is beslis n aan-

wins vir ons, s Van der Sandt.

Daarby saam, voeg hy by, besit sy ook

n bre verwysingsraamwerk deurdat sy

interessante gesprekke kan voer.

As n blinde persoon op radio is daar

natuurlik wesenlike uitdagings, maar

Bonita laat dit so maklik en moeiteloos

lyk.

Anew free cellphone application inwhich

parents can track their teenagers or loved

ones in public places, was recently devel-

oped during a Hack-a-thon over a week-

end in March.

The idea for the application was trig-

gered by KFM Breakfast Show host Ryan

OConnor following the spate of brutal

crimes affecting teenagers.

Ryan appealed to IT specialists to work

together on a solution that could track

people using public spaces and share this

information with their loved ones.

Elizabeth Senger of Hamba Safe, who

arranged the Hack-a-thon, explained how

it came about: We certainly heardRyans

plea and based on whats happened over

the last few weeks we felt that we needed

to do something to help.

People came together fromall overCape

Townandall communities andworked for

48hours to build a functioningapp. People

came together to take action, and they

even worked over the Easter weekend to

improve the app.

TheBeta version is currently being test-

ed and the appwill be available to the pub-

lic in May.

V For more information on how you can get in

volved, visit Hamba Safe on Facebook.

DESIRE RORKE

@dezzierorke

I

t is how you view a student that

makes the difference in terms of

what they can do, not what they

cant do, said Professor Jonathan Jansen,

vice-chancellor andrector of theUniversity

of the Free State, in his keynote address at

the Rachels Angels Trust Youth Mentor-

ship Symposium last week.

Held at the Stellenbosch Institute for Ad-

vancedStudy, the symposiumwasattended

by relevant roleplayers, which included

university staff and school principals from

Kraaifontein schools who formed part of

the Rachels Angels mentorship pro-

gramme.

A Media24 initiative, the programme is

aimed at Grade 11 and 12 learners at Berna-

dinoHeights andEbenDnges high schools

to enable them to improve their academic

ability and life skills to ease the transition

from school to university. Thiswas also the

main theme of the day.

Speaking on the topic, Jansen, renowned

as a leadingvoice inhigher education, iden-

tified the primary problem in the South Af-

rican school system.

Teacher expectation is lower than

learner ability. Thus, a childs intellectual

ability will remain relevant as long as the

teachers expectation of that child remains

low. Research has proven it over and over

when you make a kid feel dumb he will

live up to that expectation, he said.

Effective mentorship is the key

Jansen is of the opinion that effective

mentorship is the key, when transitioning

to university.

Formentorship to be effective, a holistic

approach need to be followed tomeet the in-

tellectual, emotional and physical well-be-

ing of young people, he said.

For Jansen, it is vital thatwe, as anation,

increase our ability to recognise the poten-

tial that all young people have.

Wifred Taylor, principal of Eben Dnges

High School in Kraaifontein, agreed.

We do not easily see the potential of all

our youth. Often we have judgmental atti-

tudes based on our personal racial growth

path. Some people need to be treated differ-

ently because of their unique challenges

and barriers, he said.

Mentoring creates a caring environment

and space for us to move forward as a na-

tion, said Dr Vincent Bosman, and educa-

tion and ethics specialist from the Cape

Peninsula University of Technology.

Professor Charl Cilliers, retired director

of StellenboschUniversitys Centre for Stu-

dent Counselling and Development said

mentorships should be embedded in

schools where teachers should be coached

to act as mentors. Just as with leadership,

mentorship starts with oneself, said Adri

Marais, co-founder and chief executive offi-

cer of TSiBA.

She said at TSiBA mentors are seen as

travelling partners.

If you want to walk fast, walk alone; if

you want to go far, walk together, ex-

plained Marais.

Not everyone can be a mentor

The power of the mentor needs to be un-

derstood it canmake or break thementee.

Not everyone can become a mentor, espe-

ciallywhendealingwith vulnerable adoles-

cents. Thiswas the caveat of ELouiseBotes

who recently completed her Masters de-

gree in industrial psychology at Stellen-

bosch University. Her thesis focused on the

development of a youth mentor competen-

cy mode. In her concluding remarks, Prof

Rachel Jafta, chairperson of the Rachels

Angels Trust, encouraged all stakeholders

to keepmoving forward and think of practi-

cal ways to reach out tomore young people.

Share the knowledge you have gained

from this symposium and also celebrate

small victories along the way, she urged.

. The Rachels Angels Trust was estab-

lished in 2006 when Rachel Jafta, econom-

ics professor at Stellenbosch University,

Koos Bekker, managing director of Nas-

pers, and the late Professor Jakes Gerwel

formulated the concept for mentorship to

learners of previously disadvantaged com-

munities in the Western Cape.

Its what they can

do, not cant do

rector of the University of the Free State

VERVOLG VAN BLADSY 1

Sy beweeg blitsvinnig haar vingers oor n

eienaardige boksie op haar skoot terwyl sy

die middag se verkeersverslag lees.

Van der Sandt verduidelik: Daar is baie

tegniese aspekte in radio wat sig vereis, soos

om voortdurend monitors te lees om by te

bly. Nuus en verkeersflitse kom vinnig deur

en moet ook afgelees word.

Bonita ontvang die verslae vanaf haar sel-

foon wat aan n tipe braille-toestel gekoppel

word. Ek noem dit sommer my braille-ta-

blet. Soos die inligting deur die foon kom,

word dit ast ware in braille vertaal, wat ek

danmetmyvingerpunte kan lees, verduide-

lik sy. Dis soms bietjie moelik as die inlig-

ting in Engels deurkom en ek dit blitsvinnig

in Afrikaans moet vertaal, s sy.

Sy lag weer. Hoe sou jy nou n woord soos

multi-vehicle pile-up in minder as n sekonde

vertaal?

Bonita is blind gebore en het in Hanover

Park grootgeword. Daar waar hulle eers

skiet en dan vrae vra, s sy.

Sy het haar skoolloopbaan by die Athlone-

skool vir blindes voltooi en haar daarna as

joernalis bekwaam aan die Kaapse Skierei-

landse Universiteit van Tegnologie (KSUT).

Sy het verlede jaar terug verhuis Kaap toe

nadat sy vir sewe jaar in Johannesburg

werksaamwas as n sosialemedia-fundi by n

bekende maatskappy.

n Vriend het my vertel van die geleent-

heid byBokRadio en ekhet ditmet albei han-

de vasgegryp.Hoekomnie? Ek voel passievol

oor wat ek nou doen en dis n groot nuwe uit-

daging. Ek het baie om te leer!

V Lees ook op bladsy 6 oor die Instituut van Blindes,

wat ook verlede week groot opslae gemaak het toe

hulle n visionre nuwe rigting ingeslaan het.

Bonita Blankenberg is hier in die Bok Radioatel

jee tydens n uitsending verlede week.

DESIRE RORKE

@dezzierorke

A

Cape Town pensioner died while

waiting in line at a Sassa service

point in Kraaifontein lastWednesday

morning.

Willem Jaars (63), along with his wife,

Magrieta, had just spent the night outside

the Scottsdene Youth Centre in order to get

a front row position in the hall the next

morning, says his heartbroken sister, Sarie

Davis, from Phoenix.

The doors had just opened and they both

scurried in to get a chair in the front.

Minutes later he died in this very chair.

He had just eaten a piece of bread and

taken a sip of the coffee they had brought

with them, before he slowly slumped down

next to her.

His wife called out to him in vain.

White foamappeared aroundhismouth,

but he was dead, says Davis.

According to her, her brother was a first-

time pension applicant.

Everybody in the area visits this office

to apply for government grants and the

lines are unbelievably long. It is always

jam-packed and often scores of people are

sent home when the day comes to an end

before they can reach the front of the line.

There is not enough staff to help every-

body.Davis believes this iswhatprompted

the elderly couple to spend the night out-

side the office.

He was declared dead when Kraaifontein

police arrived at the Youth Centre.

When I got there later that morning, the

hall was still crowded. My brothers body

was carried to the adjacent kitchen where

it was neatly covered with a sheet.

According to his wife he made no com-

plaints of pain or discomfort during the

night. It came as such a shock to her and

she is devastated.

A post mortem was performed, of which

the family is awaiting the results.

Ward councillor Grant Twigg was in-

formed of the incident shortly afterwards.

People come as early as possible to be

helped and the problem persists from week

to week. Something will have to be done,

he said.

According to Shivani Wahab, spokesper-

son for Sassa in the Western Cape region

this service point, which is linked to the

Eerste River office, is opened once a week

where approximately 200 clients are

served.

There is oftenahigh influxof clients and

in turn, a high demand for services at this

point. All screening and applications for so-

cial grants are done in line with the Sassa

standardised business processes, meaning

a one day turnaround, she said in a state-

ment to TygerBurger on Monday.

All clients who access Sassa contact

points for services are assisted on the day

and it is not necessary for any client to have

to sleep over at any Sassa contact point in

order to access services.

It is unfortunate that the client passed

away at the service point last week and our

condolences go out to the family of the de-

ceased.

According to the clients spouse, he was

unwell during the course of the week.

Clients who are unwell need not access

a Sassa contact point for services. A home

visit canbe scheduledat thenearest contact

point, where Sassa will ensure that the re-

quest for thehomevisit is honoured and the

social grant application can be conducted

at the clients home.

Pensioner dies after

hours in Sassa queue

as a message of hope for people with in-

tellectual and psychiatric disabilities,

she says, adding the Cape Town Interna-

tional Kite Festival has become the big-

gest mental health awareness event in

South Africa and has been raising funds

and awareness for more than two dec-

ades. It is Africas biggest kite festival.

Anroux Marais, Western Cape minis-

ter of cultural affairs and sport, says her

department is committed to supporting

local athletes.

We need to offer our athletes opportu-

nities to participate on an international

level so that they can showcase their tal-

Synchronize Systems provides occupa-

companies and families in Cape Town.

Trainer Michelle Phillips showed no

mercy, and every participant had to earn

their certificate, by practising on the differ-

ent sized dummies provided, ranging from

babies, children to adults. She emphasised

how important it is to know the emergency

number of the different ambulance services

byheart, saysKateLaurie fromDaniel and

Friends.

The morning was attended by private in-

dividuals and groups from schools and

crches, along with parents involved with

Daniel and Friends.

As these parents all have special needs

children, most with rare medical condi-

tions, the CPR course proved to be of utter-

most importance to them. You can never

say it cannot happen to you.

Strange objectmystifies resident

DESIRE RORKE

@dezzierorke

I

s it a plane, is it ameteor or is it a satellite?

Or could it perhaps be the International

Space Station (ISS)?

Brackenfell resident Martin du Toit was

mystified by the strange light he spotted in

the night sky last Friday.

It was late night, possible 23:00, when I

looked out my window, which has a pano-

ramic view on Table Mountain. We spotted

a light travelling pretty fast and very high

up in the night sky. It was too high to be a

Boeing and it travelled from east to west

across the sky, he says.

The object, says Du Toit, resembled a sil-

ver marble ghoen, but appeared to flicker

different colours.

He grabbed his camera with a 42 optical

zoom lens and captured the image.

Zooming inyoucould clearly see themar-

ble ghoen form but on the photo a darker

spot appears in the middle and a green line

on the edge, he says.

It did not appear to be a normal satellite

as it wasnt flying dead straight, but rather

with a sudden sharp turn to the left and then

right again.

Green fringe

Physicist and astro-photographer Dr Bru-

no Letarte took a look at the photos and

made an educated guess.

The photos are very out of focus with a

long exposure (one second), but looking at

the first image it could verywell be the inter-

national space station, he told TygerBur-

ger.

The first image he says is in focus, unlike

the second one that is clearly out of focus

making it impossible to speculate.

The green fringe on the edge of the topic

indicates chromatic aberration, which is

typical of an out of focus image of a light

source, he says.

According to information obtained from

theNasawebsite, the space station looks like

an aeroplane or a very bright star moving

across the sky, except it doesnt have flash-

ing lights or changes direction. It will also

bemoving considerably faster than a typical

aeroplane and is so bright it can also be seen

from the centre of a city. Then, just as sud-

denly as it appeared, it disappears.

The ISS circles the Earth every 90 min-

utes. It travels at about 28 000 kilometres per

hour, which gives the crew 16 sunrises and

sunsets every day. In themore than 15 years

that people have been living on board, the

station has circumnavigated the Earth tens

of thousands of times.

Reflecting the light of the sun

According toNasa, all sightingswill occur

within a few hours before or after sunrise

or sunset. This is the optimumviewing peri-

od as the sun reflects off the space station

and contrasts against the darker sky.

The space station is visible because it re-

flects the light of the sun the same reason

we can see the moon. However, unlike the

moon, the space station isnt bright enough

to see during the day... as such, it can range

from one sighting opportunity a month to

several a week, since it has to be both dark

where you are, and the space station has to

happen to be going overhead, says Nasa.

Viewing opportunities in Cape Town are

possible from now until 21 April.

V Nasas Spot the Station programme lets you sign

up to receive alerts to let you know when the ISS

will be visible from your location anywhere in the

world. You can get alerts via email or text message.

Typically, alerts are sent out a few times eachmonth

when the stations orbit is near your location. Visit

https://spotthestation.nasa.gov to sign up or view

a list of upcoming sighting opportunities. Image 2

Two full-time arts and craft traders are

sought for a new economic development

project, launchedby theCity ofCapeTown.

Brackenfell and Kraaifontein ward

councillor Carin Brynard last year estab-

lished a formal crafters market whereby

three entrepreneurs were given the oppor-

tunity to trade on a permanent basis.

Two trading premises are still availa-

ble, as one stall has already been allocated

to a trader who trades in beautiful baby

bedroom bedding and accessories, she

told TygerBurger last week.

The kiosks are on the corner of Paradys

Street and Old Paarl Road in Brackenfell.

Only high-end art, craft, specialised

clothing or unique packaged or bottled

foods will be considered, she adds.

Rental will be minimal and very afforda-

ble in order to ensure feasibility of the new

market and to assist traders inminimising

risk and overheads.

My vision is to grow the market in the

future, but it needs to be done in phases be-

cause of budget limitations. In the mean-

time, three people will at least have the op-

portunity to trade and earn a living. It is

my intention to establish something simi-

lar to the permanent market in Hermanus.

It is important for traders to sell the right

product to not only ensure their own suc-

cess, but also that of the market, she says.

A Saturday market for crafters is also in

the pipeline for the same area and will be

showcased in near proximity of the perma-

nent traders. Another opportunity that is

available is that of an organiser of the in-

formal trading market.

Council will make the space available

at no cost and the income derived out of

space sales will be that of the organiser.

Anyone interested in either these oppor-

tunities is invited to apply to the Koeberg

Subcouncil.

V Submit applications in hard copy only, including

your contact details and a description and photo

of the product, to the Durbanville Municipal Office,

corner of Oxford and Queen Streets, Durbanville or

the Kraaifontein Municipal Office, Brighton Road,

Kraaifontein. Proposals can also be emailed to

[email protected]. The

deadline for applications is 30 April 2016.

n Ou fabriek gaan onder meer op-

geknap word as n stoor op die ter-

rein van die Stikland-hospitaal,

wat danksy n dinamiese naburige

buurtwag heel nuut daar uitsien.

Di verwikkeling kom nadat die

Blommendal-buurtwag van die

gemeenskap wat grens aan die

provinsiale grond van di hospi-

taal hul gebreekte venster-pro-

jekvan stapel gestuur endie plaas-

like raadslid daarby betrek het.

Die buurtwag se projekspan het

ten doel gehad om die oorgroeide

hospitaalterrein skoon te kry en

skoon te hou, en het die hulp van

hul raadslid, Brendan van der

Merwe, ingeroep.

Hennie Basson, wat die projek

gedryf het, het in n mediaverkla-

ring ges dat n finale inspeksie op

4 April plaasgevind het. Die per-

seel is toe voldoende skoonge-

maak en bosse afgesny en vergif-

tig, lui sy verklaring.

Die dienste van n jaarkontrak-

teur is verkry om oop stukke

grondmaandeliks te inspekteer en

te snoei.

Die heel beste nuus is die her-

bouing en opgradering van die ou

fabriek direk aan die grens van

Blommendal. Hierdie gebou word

in sy geheel opgeknap vir die dep-

arment van gesondheid wat dit as

n stoorplek gaan gebruik, s

Hennie.

Hulle vorder reeds fluks met

die opgradering. Verby is die dae

wat die kriminele daar kan slaap

en kwaad doen.

Die IrisHouseChildrensHospi-

ce is op dieselfde terrein gele en

Hennie s di organisasie stel be-

lang om die swembad daar te her-

ontwikkel en as deel van hul pro-

gramme te gebruik.

Die buurtwagvoorsitter, Euge-

neGrobler, het in dieselfde verkla-

ring ges die hospitaal is op n pri-

oriteitslys vandie department van

omgewingsgesondheid geplaas.

Hierdie is absolute goeie nuus,

want dit beteken dat die terrein

netjies gehou sal word. Ou Paarl-

weg is as n prioriteit gedentifi-

seer deur wetstoepassing.

Blind capable of taking the lead

Global adventurer Hein Wagner

DESIRE RORKE

@dezzierorke

F

orrest Gump had it wrong. Life is not

a box of chocolates, its a kaleidoscope.

With the flip of a wrist realities are

shredded and the world takes on a totally

new shape.

Fitting words to depict the experience of

the blind; spoken by executive head Freddie

Botha last Wednesday evening when the In-

stitute of the Blind celebrated its 135-year

history.

To mark the occasion the institute, for the

first time ever, changed its name. It will now

be known as Kaleidoscope, changing its fo-

cus to being a commercially viable entity,

with a rousing pay-off line: Let the blind

lead.

This, according to Hein Wagner, Kaleido-

scopes brand ambassador, places the focus

onvisually impaired persons as complete citi-

zens in the community capable of taking the

lead in society.

Dinner to mimic blindness

The point was powerfully illustrated with

a Dinner in the Dark event, unlike any this

journalist has ever seen.

The windowless dining hall at Langver-

wacht Wine Estate in Kuils River was pitch

black, entered into through a heavily draped

black tunnel to eliminate every point of light

and shade. This attempted to mimic complete

blindness and organisers made very sure

they missed nothing when cellphones,

cameras and anything that could possibly

provide light were confiscated at the door

in a somewhat fascist manner.

Wagner, who has been blind since birth,

explained total blindness as not only the

absence of light, but also a complete loss of

depth perception, the ability to determine

distances between objects and see the

world in three dimensions, with no option

of reprieve.

If this was not immediately understood

by diners when they entered the hall, it

soon became very clear. A menacing noth-

ingness pitch black, heavy and flat

wrapped up your entire consciousness to

threaten your very existence.

For some, strangely thiswas a cue to give

way to their inner boisterousness, whereas

for most, I imagine, the darkness was op-

pressive.

It is hard to say exactly when ones other

senses kick in, but mercifully they do, and

when this happens you can somewhat re-

late to Wagner when he says welcome to

the magical world of the blind.

Wagner, despite his blindness, has many

accomplishments to his name and lives by

the motto that Impossible is Nothing.

He ran the Antarctica, Two Oceans and

New York marathons, completed several

Cape Town Cycle Tours, tackled the white

waters of the Zambezi River, not to men-

tion climbing the ten highest mountains in

the Western Cape. He was the perfect host

in a most bizarre setting sighted people

having fun at being blind.

Diners enthusiastically piped out at how

magnificent it was to actually smell the in-

gredients in the salads they were eating, as

if feta cheese suddenly tasted better sar-

donic, but true.

A crew of blind and partially blind wait-

ronswereouronly salvationand in thepro-

verbial land of the blind, Erasmus' one-

eyed man was truly king.

These waitrons expertly guided every

lost soul to their exact seats at the tables,

to the restrooms when needed, passed the

wine, found the cutlery and served a plated

three course meal. Astonishing.

Blind people in themodernworld are of-

ten unseen; invisible to a sighted society,

and we want to change that because the

blind have such unlimited potential and so

much to offer to the world, said Botha.

Human awareness can be likened to a ka-

leidoscope and we know that with a simple

twist of perception so much can be re-

vealed. This is what has led us to the new

name for the refreshed, revived Institute

for the Blind.

The institute presently receives only

15% of government aid and is therefore

solely responsible for the generation of

85% of the total operational expenses.

It is therefore important that we should

strive to become more self-sustainable to

ensure a future for our persons who are vi-

sually impaired, Wagner explains.

He says the institute is settingupsustaina-

ble partnerships with local and internation-

al business entities to strengthen the brand

and grow its product offering.

97% of visually impaired unemployed

Wagner says the name change reflects an

international character and opens doors to

new opportunities, projects and funding.

A few of our goals include the develop-

ment of a one-stop resource centre for blind

and deaf-blind persons at our information

centre, the establishment of a modern tech-

nology training centre at our adult career

development department, the marketing of

the institute as one of the best tourist attrac-

tions in South Africa, and to establish more

viable partnerships with the corporate sec-

tor and businesses as well as to enhance ex-

isting partnerships.

Employment is one of the biggest challen-

ges the blind face in South Africa this is

evident in light of the fact that 97% of the

visually impaired are unemployed.

It is also our goal to create more opportu-

nities for job placement of visually impaired

persons in the open labourmarket, he adds.

Public ignorance and societys general

lack of knowledge of the blind, expensive as-

sistive devices and training, inaccessibility,

school training and provision of Braille text

books are othermajor challenges the institu-

tion faces.

Peadar Hegarty, whoworks with the team

as a strategic advisor, says that thenewposi-

tioning will help Kaleidoscope change how

the world sees the blind.

Kaleidoscope projects inspiration, ema-

nating from this wonderful community of

blind and deaf blind persons who, far from

seeing themselves as disabled, actually live

their lives as people of unimaginable abili-

ty.

The Miggie Challenge will once

again take place on Wednesday 27

April at the Paarl dam to raise funds

and awareness for cystic fibrosis and

organ donation.

This family event with the only

rule that youmusthave fun, is hosted

by the Cape Town Angling Club

(CTAC), of which 85% of itsmembers

are based in the northern suburbs.

The Miggie Challenge was started

in 2014 as a fun event to celebrate the

21st birthdayof Stefan MiggieKing

fromBrackenfell, a well loved angler

in the fishing world who suffered

from cystic fibrosis.

He passed away just two months

after the Miggie Challenge was

founded.

CTAC has since made the compe-

tition an annual event to honour the

life and positive spirit of Stefan,

says Miggies father, Malcolm King,

who is also the chairperson of the

CTAC.

This year the funds raised are in

aid of Damian Wolf (19) from Fish

Hoek, who was diagnosed at the age

of 13 with cystic fibrosis and an adre-

nal tumour.

Cystic fibrosis is a life-threaten-

ing genetic disease that causes per-

sistent lung infections and progres-

sively limits the ability to breathe. In

the lungs, the mucus clogs the air-

ways and traps bacteria leading to in-

fections, extensive lung damage and

eventually, respiratory failure. In

the pancreas, themucus prevents the

release of digestive enzymes that al-

low the body to break down food and

absorb vital nutrients. There is cur-

rently no cure for cystic fibrosis,

says King.

Cystic fibrosis patients have a

short life expectancy with many pro-

longed stays inhospitalmaking them

put their life on hold.

With the Miggie Challenge we

aim to give a beneficiary the funds

that could help them make at least

one of their dreams come true, King

says.

provided toTygerBurger, the

vehicle was making deliver-

ies at Fairbridge Shopping

Centre when the hijackers

struck.

A gold colour Honda Bal-

lade with four unidentified

armed suspects suddenly

stopped next to the vehicle.

Two of the suspects got out,

one pointing a firearm at the

driver. They bundled him in-

to the back of the delivery ve-

hicle and drove off, a police

spokesperson said.

They then stopped after a

short distance alongWilliam

Dabs Road where a white

Isuzu LDV, Toyota Camry

and the gold Honda, occu-

pied by an unknown number

of suspects, surrounded the

vehicle.

They emptied the delivery

vehicle of its contents being

an undisclosed amount of

cigarettes. The suspects fled

the scene leaving behind the

driver and his vehicle.

He managed to flag down

help from a private security

vehicle in the vicinity of the

mall, who patrolled the area

in search of the suspects.

The Isuzu was spotted

and chaseddownby the secu-

rity vehicle, leading to the

apprehension of one sus-

pect, said police.

According to eye-witness

reports the occupant jumped

out of the moving vehicle

and ran in the direction of

Ferndale, while the vehicle

crashed into the middle isle

in Old Paarl Road.

A security guard fired one

shot in the direction of the

suspect.

The Brackenfell police

could not be reached to con-

firm this information.

The other suspects man-

aged to get away on foot, but

several boxes of cigarettes

were recovered.

The suspect will appear in

the Kuils River Magistrates

Court in due time facing

charges relating to hijack-

ing.

It annoys me as an animal

lover that when the circus

comes to town, the very next

day one receives in the post

box a letter from some organi-

sation condemning them for

using animals in their shows.

The circus has on average ten

wild animals which cannot be

rehabilitated in the wild

anyway.

We have in our area an

organisation called the Karoo

Animal Protection Society who

is desperately looking for help

to rescue thousands of dogs,

cats, etc. in the rural commu-

nities of SA and do so on a

volunteer basis. All monies,

time etc. go to the animals.

Maybe the municipality

should consider a license fee

for non-spayed bitches only,

that would encourage owners

to do the right thing. The

funds collected should be

directed to the various animal

welfare organisations. This

may reduce the unwanted

animal population and the

need to exterminate so many of

mans best friends.

Go onto their website at

www.kaps.org.za and read

about them. Some of the

stories and pictures will bring

tears to your eyes.

The circus at least feeds and

takes care of their animals.

They should be the least of

ones worries.

veling van sy knap en wyd

dit duidelik by Dots Learning

Centre gestel dat hulle besig

was om te registreer by die

Wes-Kaapse Onderwysdeparte-

ment. Om te voldoen aan al die

WKOD se standaarde, neem

egter tyd (wonder hoeveel

staatskole voldoen wel hieraan)

en is ongelooflik tydrowend.

aan my seun n hawe gebied

ROELOF COERTZEN

Epos

Besware van ouer

nie di van almal

Is daar nog

gentlemen

en ladies?

So n paar dae gelede op TV s n ou oom

vir iemand: I must leave now, a gentle-

man never keeps a lady waiting. Sjoe,

dink ek, die oom het darem goeie manie-

re. Dit laat my dadelik wonder of daar

nog gentlemen en ladies is en of mense

nog goeie maniere het. Daardie maniere

wat jy by jou ouers en grootouers geleer

het. Goeie maniere soos Emsie Schoeman

sn.

As ek n verskriklike veralgemening

kan maak, reken ek dat mense ouer as 35

of 40 nog goeie maniere geleer is, maar

die jongklomp sukkel daarmee. Ek s

glad nie dat alle ouer mense goeie

maniere het of alle jongmense slegte

maniere het nie, maar dit lyk of goeie

maniere nie noodwendig meer aan die

orde van die dag is nie.

Goeie maniere beteken nie net om

asseblief en dankie te s nie dit is veel

meer. Goeie maniere beteken ook om

bedagsaam en galant te wees; om mense

met respek en

hoflikheid te

hanteer en om te

verseker dat mense

gemaklik voel in n

verskeidenheid van

situasies.

Dit beteken onder

meer om jou

kollegas te groet

wanneer jy by die

werk opdaag en

wanneer jy weer

die pad vat, en om

jou base (maar ook

jou Klase) te

respekteer. Mense

met goeie maniere gooi ook nie n

telefoon in die ander persoon se oor neer

nie, al is jy hoe kwaad. Mense met goeie

maniere skree ook nie op ander mense

nie. Dit beteken ook dat jy nie met kos in

jou mond praat nie (al sien jy dit op TV)

en dat jy jou selfoon wegpak wanneer jy

n ete-afspraak bywoon of gaan fliek.

Mense van n ander kultuur of geloof

(veral kollegas) waardeer dit baie wan-

neer jy hul geloof en kultuur respekteer

by die werk en dit wys dat jy goeie

maniere het. Iets wat sosiaal aanvaarbaar

is by n braai saam met vriende n die

rugby, is nie noodwendig sosiaal aanvaar-

baar by die werk se jaarafsluiting nie.

Goeie maniere is ook om nie die

middelvinger te wys vir die motoris wat

voor jou insny nie en ook om nie daardie

motoris te wees nie. Dit beteken ook om

te stop by n stopteken en nie te jaag

wanneer die verkeerslig na oranje toe

oorslaan nie. Goeie maniere sal jou ver

neem; en dit beteken ook dat jy nie

mense laat wag nie, al is niemand n

gentleman of n lady nie. Ben Burger

The City of Cape Towns rates estimator,

which is available on its valuations web-

site, is now available to residents to calcu-

late their rates.

This is to help property owners to assess

the proposed change on the rates portion

of theirmunicipal bill as part of the general

valuation process for 2015, the City says.

The City recently tabled its draft budget

for the 2016/2017 financial year.

This year however, due to the latest gen-

eral valuation, the proposed cent-in-the-

randonwhich theproposed rates increases

are calculated, has also been tabled.

The City is now proposing that the cent-

in-the-rand reduces by 7% for residential

properties.

This is largely due to the total value of

the latest general valuation that has gone

up significantly, City bosses explain.

Although there is still a valuation objec-

tion process under way and the final value

could be somewhat lower, on the residen-

tial side we have essentially seen a growth

of approximately 18% since the last valua-

tion in 2012, says deputy mayor Ian Neil-

son.

In addition, the Citys latest general val-

uation shows that the total valuation of all

rateable properties has increased from

R911 billion in 2012, to R1156 billion in 2015,

which is an important reason for the de-

crease in the rate-in-the-rand or the rates

portion of a municipal bill.

He says the City sets a budget that is

needed from rates income for essential ser-

vices such as fire and disaster risk servi-

ces, street lights and traffic lights which

benefit all residents but which do not gen-

erate an income.

The total value of all properties within

the municipal boundary, according to the

valuation roll, is then used to calculate

what portion of a cent out of the rand value

of the property is needed to achieve the set

budget needed from the rates income. If

property values increase, the cent tariff

will decrease, says Neilson.

He adds that property valuations are

therefore not done to chase a surplus or to

make money out of ratepayers.

The budget needed for these municipal

services is carefully calculated and proper-

ty rates contribute to this budget, Neilson

says.

The objection process for the latest gen-

eral valuation is still under way and if a

property owner disputes the valuation of

their property, a well motivated objection

may be submitted to the City valuer by no

later than 29 April. In this objection, the

property ownermust showwhy themarket

valuation is incorrect.

V Residents can visit www.capetown.gov.za/prop

ertyvaluations for access to the rates estimator

and information about the ongoing valuations ob

jections process.

Track Five to

launch fifth CD

LYNNE RIPPENAARMOSES

F

ive-voice vocal group Track Five is set

to treat audiences to an evening of jazz

when they launch their fifth CD, Love

youMadly, at theDrostdyTheatre in Stellen-

bosch on Saturday.

One of these voices is baritone singer, di-

rector, composer and arranger Gavin Ful-

lard, from Durbanville.

Growing up in Stutterheim in the Eastern

Cape, Fullard spent his evenings listening to

the sounds of Big Bands like the Glenn Mil-

ler orchestra, drifting from the old record

player on the verandah of his family home.

This music, together with the influence of

his sisters both pianists would be the cat-

alyst to a career in the music industry that

has spanned four decades.

Today the 83-year-old Fullard spends his

days writing arrangements to mesmerise

and delight audiences, he says for his vo-

cal group Track Five.

The group, which was established in 1995,

will be joined by the RamonAlexander Trio,

Saxit and Engela Fullard on flutes when

they introduce their new release on Satur-

day 16 April.

Our latest CD has a diverse range of mu-

sical content and features tracks such as the

10-voice combination of Track Five and Ar-

thur Pietersens A5 vocal group. It also in-

cludes a few classical sounds,with two origi-

nal compositions, a couple of Afrikaans

songs and several well-loved jazz classics,

explains Fullard.

While Fullard may be the only member

left of the original Track Five group, he has

been performing with fellowmembers Mon-

ique Hellenberg, Michelle van Zyl and Ar-

thur Pietersen for several years, with Am-

ber Kruger recently joining the group.

While most vocal groups undergo

changes in personnel, the character of the

music defining each group prevails, he

says, recalling the various singers he has

performed with in the past.

Many former members of Track Five

have gone on to pursue solo careers.

Over the years, Track Fives repertoire

has includedwell-known jazz and contempo-

rary songs and romantic ballads and, says

Fullard, is influenced by the sounds of great

vocal groups like Four Freshmen, Manhat-

tan Transfer, Take 6, New York Voices, the

Real Group and Accent.

Before becoming a full-time musician,

Fullard travelled and taught overseas and

formed and performed with a vocal quartet

in the UK and a double mixed quartet of 15-

year-olds in Utah in the USA. After nearly

38 years of teaching mathematics and sci-

ence at high school, Fullard started his first

vocal group, Tangerine, in 1975.

In 1976 Tangerine performed in the Ste-

phan Grappelli show with Gerry Bosman of

the famous Gerry Bosman Big Band.

Today Track Five has five albums under

their belt and has performed at various ve-

nues in and around Cape Town, including

Oude Libertas in Stellenbosch, the Nassau

Centre inNewlands, the Cape Town Interna-

tional Convention Centre, and have sung

with the JonnyCooperOrchestra for several

years.

Recently they were invited for a private

performance at a 40th birthday party of a

family member of Craig Hinds, leader of the

popular South African pop rock band, Wa-

tershed, where they also had the privilege

of performing a special song with the band.

Track Fives future looks really bright

and promising. We recently won the vocal

group category of the Talent Africa regional

(Western Cape) competition and look for-

ward to thenational finals at the end ofApril

here inCapeTown.With ourmore diversify-

ing repertoire, collaborations and experi-

ence, we are also now focusing on corporate

function performances as well as private

functions and fundraisers.

V Tickets for the launch can be purchased at the

Drostdy Theatre by contacting Lionel at info@drost
