MERKWAARDIGE VROU: NEEM SAAM MET KLEINDOGTER DEEL

Ouma n yster op baan

ESM ERASMUS

@erasmusesme

n

Leeftyd van swaarkry het n ysterou-

ma (85) vanDurbanville haar nie laat

onderkry nie sy laat haar selfs nog

op die atletiekbaan geld.

Aletta Ackermann van die OnzeMolen-af-

treeoord het voorverlede Saterdag saammet

haar kleindogter, ShanCarlsen (23), deelge-

neem in spiesgooi en diskusgooi by die WP-

atletiekkampioenskap by die Parow-atle-

tiekbaan.

Dit was die sesde keer dat ouma en klein-

dogter saam-saam in dieselfde baan in on-

derskeidelik die senior en meestersafdeling

deelgeneem het.

Ons deel dieselfde passie en liefde vir die

sport. Ek het duidelik alles by haar gerf en

wil dit laat voortleef, vertel Shan trots.

Haar ouma het twee goue medaljes gewen

in die afdeling vir 85 tot 90 jaar sy was wel

die enigste deelnemer terwyl Shan brons-

medaljes in haar afdeling gewen het.

Die naaste deelnemer aan my ouma was

65 jaar oud n hele 20 jaar jonger, vertel

sy.

Ystervrou is nie eers die regte beskry-

wing vir haar ou lyfie nie. Sy het inmoeilike

omstandighede haar enigste dogter grootge-

maak.Haarman, Philip, is al in 2000 oorlede.

Sy het verseker dat nie een struikelblok

haar kon onderkry nie. Sy het alles in haar

vermo gedoen om die beste vir haar dogter

en man te gee, vertel Shan met bewonde-

ring.

Aletta het 55 jaar as sekretaresse gewerk

endoen steeds die boekevanhaar dogter, die

bekende Erna Ackermann van die gelykna-

mige dansskool.

Toe Aletta onlangs in Durbanville intrek,

was haar eerste vraag waar sy kan oefen.

Sy het vir haar n plekkie gaan soek om

die spies en diskus rond te gooi en oefen vir

die afgelope drie maande elke Dinsdag- en

Donderdagoggend in die parkie langs haar

aftree-oord.

Sy het op skool in Heidelberg (Wes-Kaap)

al aandie items indie SuidwestelikeDistrik-

te se kampioenskap deelgeneem. Sy het ook

in Junie 1997 aan die 12de wreld-veterane-

kampioenskap in Durban deelgeneem, waar

sy derde in spiesgooi gekom het.

Dit is al vir die afgelope 60 jaar sedert 1948

haar jaarlikse hoogtepunt om deel te neem,

maar die feit dat ek en sy sm deelneem,

is te kosbaar, s Shan.

Aletta het sowat 10 jaar gelede haar regter-

skouer haar dominante arm beseer en

moes n skouervervangingsoperasie onder-

gaan. Die dokter het haar n die operasie

verbied om haar arm hor as 90 te lig, en

ges dat sy nooit weer aan atletiekmag deel-

neem nie. Die ystervrou wat sy is, het toe

vir haarself begin afrig om met haar linker-

arm te gooi, en van toe af het sy links begin

deelneem.

VERVOLG VAN BLADSY 1

Dt wil gedoen wees!

Aletta het die linkerarm sowat twee jaar

gelede beseer enhet haarselfweer begin for-

seer om regshandig te gooi, wat op haar ou-

derdom nie veel meer skade kan aanrig nie.

Sy het intussen ook al heupvervangings

in albei heupe en n knievervanging in haar

regterbeen gehad.

Verlede jaar is sy n week voor die WP-

kampioenskap in die hospitaal opgeneem

weens n bloedklont in haar been.

Ek het haar die heeltyd herinner dat ons

nie hoef deel te neemnie, want sy is immers

nog in die hospitaal en sy het net geweier

dat ek ons albei uit die kampioenskap ont-

trek.

Met pleistertjies op haar arm en n bleek

gesiggie van die narkose, het sy vasgebyt en

steeds gaan deelneem en boonop twee

goue medaljes verower!

Oums is my superhero, my beste vrien-

din en voorbeeld en alles waaroor enige

kleindogter kon droom! Sy is ongelooflik en

ek haal my hoed af vir haar wat nooit opge-

gee het, moed verloor het of haar passie laat

gaan het nie. Om jou passie uit te leef tot

op die bitter einde, getuig vanware passie!

Aletta beplan om aanstaande jaar weer

deel te neem. Ek hou maar net aan en aan.

Ek kan nie so sit en doodgaan nie.

Daar is nie genade van agteroor sit en

doodgaan nie n mens moet iets doen om

fiks te bly en jou kop aan die gang te hou,

vertel sy.

Aletta het buiten haar kleindogter Shan

ook n kleinseun, Charl (25).

Truck driver rescued: A man was injured two weeks ago (Wednesday 16 March) after

his truck overturned on the Vissershok Road outside Durbanville. On arrival, ER24 para

medics found a large truck lying on its side on the side of the road. The driver of the

truck was found in the cabin of the vehicle. Rescue services had to remove the window

to allow paramedics to gain access to the patient, says ER24 spokesperson Russel

Meiring. On assessment, paramedics found that he had sustained moderate injuries. He

was treated for his injuries and transported to a nearby hospital for further treatment.

The patient later told paramedics that he had lost consciousness just before his vehicle

overturned. Local authorities were on the scene for further investigations.

DESIRE RORKE

@dezzierorke

V

erskeie klagtes van gebrek aan diens-

lewering by die Brackenfell-verkeers-

departement se bestuurslisensiekan-

tore is verlede week onder TygerBurger se

aandag gebring.

Volgens die klaers is die diens so swakdat

die toets vir leerlingbestuurders om hul li-

sensie te bekom, vir onbepaalde tye ver-

traag word.

As bestuursinstrukteur besoek ek ge-

reeld die kantore en die diens is tans so be-

roerd dat ons niemeer ons klinte hierheen

kan bring nie, s n inwoner, wat anoniem

wil bly.

Volgens hom staan hy daagliks 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.

Dinsdagoggendwasdaar sowat 30mense

in die ry, wat met 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 vierweke lank na die Brackenfell-

kantoor verwys word, omdat die oogtoets-

masjien daar buite werking is.

TygerBurger kon tot dusver nog nie die

inligting bevestig nie, maar met n besoek

aan die Durbanville-kantoor was daar baie

min mense in sig.

Ditwas egter ni die geval in die Bracken-

fell-kantoor nie. Met sowat 20 mense in die

touwas daar net eenuit die drie kassierven-

sters oop. Nog n gefrustreerde bestuursin-

strukteur het met tye van ons besoek ook

sy frustrasie 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-

gerBurgergeselshet, s die situasie is onuit-

houdbaar. S kan dit nie aangaan nie. Ons

sukkel om afsprake te maak vir leerlingbe-

stuurders in Brackenfell en word nou ge-

dwing om Kuilsrivier 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 byhou met die

toevloei vanmense nie en is duidelik onder-

beman. TygerBurger wag op kommentaar

van die Stad Kaapstad.

Klagtes oor swak diens

by lisensiekantoor


Apiece of Cape Towns history has

gone up for sale this week as the

first public telescope placed on Ta-

ble Mountain in 1930 was listed on

www.gumtree.co.za.

The telescope was purchased in

1991 by UCT employee JulianMey-

er, a collector of telescopes, from

the chief technical officer for a

brass scrap price.

At the time, the telescope had

fallenout ofuseas its objective lens

was badly cracked and the prisms

were chipped.

However, this does not mean

that the telescope has lost any of its

historical value.

This is obviously a very, very

rare piece and would be an amaz-

ing restoration project or an ex-

tremely valuable collectable for

display. Some very important peo-

ple 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

cable 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 1947 South African

tour where they were greeted by

the then 77-year old Prime Minis-

ter, Jan Smuts.

Smuts not only hiked to the top

of the mountain to meet them, but

arrived back in town in time for a

joint sitting of the houses of parlia-

ment.

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 its place

on the mountain.

A formerZeiss employeevisiting

Cape Town from the USA, was able

to provide the exact manufacture

date and sentMeyer theoriginal to-

ken used to test the timing mecha-

nism, which takes the place of the

coins that the public used to pay for

their spectacular view of the city

and the ocean.

After trying to get the telescope

refurbished by the now defunct SA

NavyOpticalWorkshop and by the

Table Mountain Aerial Cableway

Company as a possible public ex-

hibit,Meyer finally reluctantly put

the precious telescope up for sale.

I hopewhoeverbuys itwill have

better luck than I did in getting this

wonderful telescope back into

working condition.

Gastehuis word glo

vir plesier gebruik

MICHELLE LINNERT

@linnertmb

K

linte gebruik glo n gastehuis in Rid-

geworth as die setel waarvandaan

sekswerk bedryf word.

S s n anonieme inbeller wat TygerBur-

ger in kennis gestel het oor die beweerde ak-

tiwiteite van n vrou wat glo sekswerk be-

dryf van die 26 On Zinnia-gastehuis.

Gevra hoe die inbeller dan sou weet van

die plesierighede wat daar aangaan, het

hy geantwoord dat hy self n kamer daar ge-

kry het en die saak self ondersoek het.

Michelle Rademeyer en haar ma besit die

gastehuis, maar hulle weet niks van sulke

sake wat daar bedryf word nie.

Hier is n hele paar klinte wat gereeld

inboek, maar niemand kan presies s wat

hulle doen nie. Ek het nog nooit so opgelet

nie, en ons is n klein onderneming ons

maak tog skoon en sou tog sekerlik al so iets

opgetel het? s sy. Hoe weet n mens nou

regtig? Daar is mense wat met vakansie

hierheen kom; daar is ander wat langer bly.

Ons het net vier gastekamers.

Sy s die meeste van hul klinte is sake-

mense,met een gereelde klint, n vrou, wat

n student is. Ons vat maar net die mense

in en hulle betaal en ons grawe nie nog in

hul persoonlike lewe nie, netso krap ons nie

in hul goed nie. Dis ek en my ma wat hier

bly. Ons gaan nie eens uit nie en ek weet

nie vanwatter plesierighede praat diman

wat ingebel het nie. TygerBurger het die

nommer geskakel wat deur die anonieme

inbeller aan ons voorsien is, wat glo die

nommer van die prostituut sou wees, en n

vrou het wel geantwoord. Ek het geen idee

wie jy is of hoekom jy my bel nie. Ek woon

nie in enige Zinniastraat nie. My huis is in

Langa, het di vrou op Engels ges. Wie

ook al vir jou hierdie nommer gegee het,

moenie met my sukkel nie. Ek weet nie

waarvan jy praat nie, het sy ges, met die

geluid van kinders wat rondom haar be-

weeg, duidelik op die agtergrond.

TygerBurger het Michelle gevra om in

haar rekords te kyk en slegs te bevestig of

dinommerwel daarinvoorkom,al dannie.

Sy het Saterdag laat weet dat sy nie so n

nommer in enige van haar registers het nie.

Ek het gekyk en ek het nie so n nommer

nie. Dis eintlik baie hartseer om te weet dat

mense tyd het vir sulke nonsens.

Sowat 90% vanmy klinte is op die oom-

blik swart mense. Dis mense wat geld het

MICHELLE LINNERT

@linnertmb

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.

n Jong, verloofde paartjiewat verledeMaan-

dag vroegoggend gaandraf het, is deur nGol-

den Arrow-bus vol passasiers in Durbanville

raakgery.

Jean Gerber (24), n student, en sy verloof-

de, Shen Botha (23), het omstreeks 07:50 op

die geel, geverfde eiland in Wellingtonweg

nabydiekruisingmetDurbanville-rylaange-

staan, toe die bus uit die rigting van Bellville

om die draai vanuit Durbanville-rylaan in

Wellingtonweg indraai.

Die busbestuurder het vermoedelik die

draai te skerp geneem, en die agterkant van

die bus het eers vir Jean, en toe vir Shen

getref.

Hulle het albei in die pad geval en ernstige

kneus- en skraapwonde opgedoen. n Vrou in

n wit Audi-motor het by die toneel stilgehou

en hulle hospitaal toe geneem. Hulle is opge-

neem vir behandeling en later die oggend

ontslaan.

Die dokters het eers vermoed dat die liga-

mente in my knie af is, maar dit was toe ge-

lukkig nie so nie, het Jean ges. Hyhet veral

sy regterbeen beseer, terwyl Shen se reg-

terkuit ook n erge skraap opgedoen het.

Die busbestuurder het stilgehou en ges

hy het ons nie gesien nie, en toe weer gery,

vertel Jean.

Volgens hom gaan hulle n saak by die poli-

DESIRE RORKE

@dezzierorke

T

he animal bylaw in respect of bark-

ing dogs may be frowned upon by

many residents as nonsensical, but

theCity ofCapeTown is adamant this by-

law can and is still enforced in a very

practical sense.

TygerBurger regularly receives com-

plaints from readers lamenting over

their rowdy neighbourhood dogs, cou-

pled with the Citys inability to enforce

the by-law that regulates this.

Inmost cases it transpires that the nui-

sance dog, after being reported to Law

Enforcement, will be considerably quiet

when the officers arrive on the premises.

Thismakes 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

allowed to bark formore than threemin-

utes successively in half an hour, or six

minutes successively in an hour.

But how do you prove this?

As is the case in anyother legalmatter,

sufficient evidence is needed to prose-

cute such a case in the municipal courts.

In this instance, a complete barking

monitoring schedule as well as audio-

visualmaterial would be needed, accord-

ing toMaycomember for safety and secu-

rity, JP Smith.

Smith says just because many of the

complaints encountered cannot always

be corroborated by the investigating offi-

cials who have tomonitor the dogs at the

identified locations, it does not mean the

bylaw is not being contravened.

... Obviously the officers cannotmon-

itor the location on a 24-hour basis, he

says. Enforcement action will therefore

involve an initial compliance notice di-

recting the dog owner to remedy the situ-

ation. In the event of non-compliance

this will be followed, in most cases, by

the compilation of a docket containing

the complainants affidavit, which in-

cludes 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 offi-

cers to constantly monitor the premises.

An officer may also opt to issue a writ-

ten notice for the owner to appear in

courtwith the option of paying an admis-

sion of guilt fine. In the meantime, and

particularly when the officer has also es-

tablished that there is indeed a contra-

vention in terms of the barking provi-

sion which the owner has not remedied

or where they have failed to ensure com-

pliance, the dogs may be impounded and

the matter dealt with in terms of the ani-

mal bylaw. This processwill run parallel

to the one of summons and prosecution.

Admission of guilt fine

However, according to a TygerBurger

source, the lack of manpower in the Law

Enforcement department in actual fact

does not afford officers the time needed

to be spent on compiling such dockets.

In extreme cases, says this source, an

admission of guilt fine would be issued

to a repeat offenders, who would then

pay it and be on their way, often leaving

the cause of the problem unresolved.

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 con-

trol over their dogs barking habits dur-

ing the day, says the source.

The issue evidently posing several

challenges, TygerBurger asked Smith

whether it really made sense to utilise

their limited manpower on such cases

and whether the City have had any suc-

cessful court appearances in this regard.

No specific answer was forthcoming.

The City also did not respond as to

whether they are looking into other

more practical solutions, which might

see this bylaw amended.

W

ith her new charity organisation

called Amatum, a Bellville business-

woman is giving back to her commu-

nity.

Louisa Malan, the owner of Engen La Ro-

chelle Convenience Centre in Bellville, was

lauded by Engen Petroleum for her invest-

ment in the Klipheuwel community.

Her service station has also donated

R500 000 worth of food to the Durbanville

Childrens Home, which collects daily food

hampers.

Other food donations are made to Huis

Redelinghuys, an old age home in the Bell-

ville area, as well as Caring Angels.

Over the recent festive seasonLouisa and

a group of volunteers helped put together

around 400 drawstring care bags contain-

ing toys, treats, toiletries and oversized

blankets and were handed out to children

in Klipheuwel.

We also got the community involved

and asked them to donate clothing and

T-shirts, which we gave to the kids, says

Louisa.

She registered a new non-governmental

organisation named Amatum earlier this

year,which is theLatinword for beloved.

Initially the focus of the organisationwill

centre on children in the Klipheuwel com-

munity with future plans to extend the pro-

gramme to other areas.

I was so inspired by the gratitude and

sense of hope instilled in these kids that I

decided to start a formal organisation so

that I could take things a step further.

I didnt want to just donate; I wanted to

take action and make a real difference by

investing in the future journey of these

young childrens lives, she says.

The objective of Amatum is to educate

and help children dream big about their fu-

ture. To do this, Saturday skills sessions

are heldwhere kids from the area come and

spend a day learning about different job

possibilities.

We want to pass on entrepreneurial

skills and expose these kids to themany op-

portunities that are possible.

Recently we held a market day and we

shared sales and marketing skills. In the

coming months the firebrigade will come

and talk to the children about fire safety,

she says.

This all provides excitement among the

children. Seeing the excitement in their

eyes makes all the difference for Louisa,

she says.

Many of these kids are forced to cope

with very difficult circumstances every

day. They look forward to Saturdays spent

in a supported and nurtured environment

with caring adults who want to build them

up and show them that the future can be

bright and optimistic, she says.

Joe Mahlo, general manager of Engen

sales andmarketing, says: We are very en-

couraged by dealers like Louisa who give

of their time volunteering in the communi-

ty.

As a company committed to a policy of

community involvement and social uplift-

ment,we thankLouisaandhergroupof vol-

unteers for beingambassadors of ourbrand

and for helping to enrich and inspire our

future generations.

S

oos die opvolg van n goeie speurfliek,

het die drama rondom n poging tot

moord-saak verlede jaar, die afgelope

naweek verder afgespeel in die vernielde

kantoor van n Bellvillse speurder.

Nou, viermaanden die poging totmoord,

soek di polisiekantoor selfs dringender na

Jackie Seymour en Sammy Oforbuike, Sey-

mour se krel en verkoper, op n handvol ek-

stra aanklagte wat nou ook huisbraak, dief-

stal en regsverydeling insluit.

Sien, Seymour het laas jaar in November

n foto van haarself op die internet gelaai om

klinte na haar sekswerkplek by Spanish

Oaks 19 in Oak Glen te nooi.

Een van di klinte, n motorfietsryer, het

daar aangekom, maar met die eerste oogop-

slag gesien dat die Jackie op die internetfoto

ni die vrou was wat voor hom gestaan het

nie. Hy het toe verseg om van haar dienste

gebruik te maak, maar Seymour het aange-

dring op n R1 000-kansellasiefooi.

Klint aangerand

Toedie klintweier, het sy die deur gesluit

en het sy en haar krel die klint begin aan-

rand.

Oforbuike is n lig-

gaamsbouer. Hy en

Seymour het die klaer

met n pyp en bofbal-

kolf geslaan. Hulle het

n deel van sy oor en sy

kaak afgeslaan en sy

arm gebreek, vertel

maj. Fienie Nimb,

woordvoerder van die

Bellville-polisie.

Die klaer het daar-

in geslaag om by n

venster uit te spring

en in die straat af te

hardloop, waar bure

hom bebloed buite ge-

sien het en die polisie

gebel het.

Oforbuike het weg-

gery, teruggekom, n

foto van die klaer geneem, en toe op die

vlug geslaan. Kort daarna het ons lede op

die toneel aangekom, vertel Nimb.

Met die polisie se aankoms is Seymour

in hegtenis geneem.

Verlede Maandag het die speurder in

die saak inligting ontvang dat Oforbuike,

wat vermoedelik die heeltyd in Johannes-

burg sou gewees het, wel in Kaapstad is,

s Nimb.

Bordeel bedryf

Oforbuike het ook n bordeel bedryf in

Parow by die Simondr Villas-kompleks,

maar di is reeds verlede jaar deur die poli-

sie toegesluit vir besigheid. Di plek is ook

deursoek vir diemoontlikheid datOforbui-

ke moontlik daar sou skuil.

Nadat die speurder (verlede Maandag)

die inligting ontvanghet, is hynadiewoon-

stel in Oak Glen. Daar het hy die verdagte

semotor gevind.Oforbuike het deur n ven-

ster gevlug en oor heinings gespring en so-

doende weggekom, s Nimb.

Die speurder het op diemotor beslag ge-

l en Seymour het paniekerig begin raak.

Met nader ondersoek het dit getoon dat al

Oforbuike se persoonlike dokumente in di

motor was sy paspoort, identiteitsdoku-

ment en selfs sy skeipapiere.

Sekerheidspersoneel

Nimb vertel dat Seymour toe begin het met

pogings om di papiere terug te kry.

Sy is verlede Woensdag deur die seker-

heidspersoneel van die gebou wat ons speur-

tak huisves, opgemerk waar sy in die gange

perseel belet.

Die Donderdag was sy terug waar sy weer

tussen die kantore rondgesluip het. Sy het op

die vlug geslaan toe die wagte haar gewaar.

Sy iswr die Vrydag daar gesien,maar is toe

weer weg.

Toe die speurder egter Saterdagoggend om

06:00 by sy kantoor aankom, is die staalhek

voor sy kantoor met n koevoet oopgebreek,

sy deur n gat in geslaan, en alles in sy kan-

toor sy skootrekenaar, albei kluise net so

gelos. Daar was slegs een klompie goed ver-

mis: Oforbuike se dokumente, s Nimb.

Die sekerheid van die gebou is sedertdien

opgeskerp en die polisie is op soek na Sey-

mour en Oforbuike.

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.

Klank te hard

by vertonings

I would like to reply to your

article, Group of workers too

loud, TB, 23 March. This is

the worst idiocy and stupidity

I have ever heard of or read.

I have been involved with

the Tygerberg Nature Reserve

as a visitor and keen follower

of what they do and what they

have achieved past and

present. Recently they received

an award for being the best

reserve.

The women and sometimes a

male or two are volunteers

who like and appreciate

nature, and would like to make

a positive contribution to the

environment that we all live in

and share.

For those uninformed, these

volunteers do it in all the

reserves in the Cape.

We now seem to have a

bunch of decrepit people that

do nothing but complain. It

seems to me that they sit on

their a** all day with nothing

to do and then think up some

ludicrous subject to complain

about. Theyre mutts that do

nothing but bark all day,

making more noise than people

talking.

Why do these decrepit people

not shut up and become

volunteers and do something

constructive for their commu-

nity? My question is, what do

Stop complaining

andhelp at reserve

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-

pered.

What I can say is that the

intruder seems to be familiar

with the layout of our property

and also of our neighbouring

properties, using our connecting

fences/walls to enter or exit.

We now never leave a win-

dow open with anything in

reach; we never leave our

laundry or any garden equip-

ment outside in the garden or

Legalisemantraps

for regular intruders

Graag wil ek net my dank

betuig aan die vriendelike

personeel van The Surgical

Institute in Durbanville vir

hulle hulp en bystand toe ons

dogter haar vinger in die deur

vasgeslaan het. Hulle het meer

as die spreekwoordelike ekstra

myl gegaan. Ons het eintlik my

seuntjie geneem vir werk aan

sy tande. Ons kan voorwaar

hulle diens aanbeveel.

reported the issue of poor

synchronisation of traffic

lights ... to the City on numer-

ous occasions. Each time I talk

to someone at the call centre,

my complaint remains unre-

solved as the person fails to

understand just how big the

problem of poor traffic flow is.

If someone can point me to

the correct person at the

council, Ill personally set a

meeting time to explain to the

person how the lights should be

programmed and point it out at

the various locations through-

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.

This years Slave Route Challenge on Sun-

day 8 Maywill see participants run the usu-

al scenic route through the city while also

giving honour to individual slaves of the

Capes past.

Each runner will carry one of the 8 000

names of slaves who appear on a column

of memory at the Iziko Slave Lodge in the

city centre.

This was announced at the launch of this

years edition of the race at themuseum last

week.

Farouk Meyer of Itheko Sport Athletic

Club and organiser for the Slave Route

Challenge explains runners will have a spe-

cific purpose and a special honour in this

years race, referring to the column of

memory on which the names of 8 000 men,

women and children are inscribed.

This year, every person who registers

will run on behalf of one of these names on

the column, allowing each runner to hon-

our a specific personwhowas an important

part of our countrys past.

Organisers say the SlaveRouteChallenge

is more than just a race: it is a tribute to

the trials of dispossessed people who con-

tributed to the early development of Cape

Town and, as a result, South Africa.

The race route takes runners past several

historically significant landmarks, such as

the Castle of Good Hope, Grand Parade, the

Whipping Post, Old Slave Church, the Iziko

Slave Lodge and the Slave Tree Plaque.

Today the Iziko Slave Lodge is a site of

memory a place of reconciliation and

hope. The Slave Route Challenge provides

the runners the opportunity to actively en-

gage with this history and beyond the race

to explore, discover, reflect and reconnect

with their roots, says Paul Tichmann, cu-

rator of the Iziko Slave Lodge.

Meyer says this years race aims to hon-

our individuals and celebrate the collective

history and diversity of both the race en-

trants and the people they are remember-

ing.

This takes the race to a whole new level,

and personalises it for each runner, while

at the same time instilling a sense of unity

and meaning something so critical at this

point in time for our country, says Meyer.

The event is presented by Itheko Sport

AthleticClubunder the auspices ofWestern

Province Athletics. While there is a minor

change in the title and logo of the race this

year, it still forms part of Metropolitan

Lifesmojo serieswhich celebrates the com-

munity, and Metropolitan Life remains the

main sponsor.

Since the inaugural race in 2011, the an-

nual Slave Route Challenge has consisted of

a half marathon and a 10km run, as well as

a 5km fun run and walk, and a 10km big

walk for those who prefer a more leisurely

pace.

The half marathon is scheduled to kick

things off at the starting point in Darling

Street at 07:00, followed by the 10km run at

07:15, the 5km fun run and walk at 07:30 and

the 10km big walk at 07:45.

toneelgehore was, kanMy briljante eg-

skeiding nou ook in Afrikaans ervaar

word.

Geraldine Aron se My brilliant divorce is

sedert 2001 almet groot sukses oor diewreld

heen opgevoer. DitwasHennie vanGreunen,

die man agter vele suksesvolle eenpersoon-

stukke Lyf,ShirleyValentyn enDieNaai-

masjien wat besluit het omdie storie

van Engela van Tonder-Strydom te

verwerk.

Ek glo elke mens se lewe is

soos n epiese gedig, s Hen-

nie, en hier het ons die epiese

gedig van die gewon(d)e

vrou se lewe. Engela het

onmiddelik met my ge-

praat, soos Shirley en

Magdaleen voor haar.

In Engela se kop is sy en

Manie gelukkig getroud.

Wel, daai getroud wat n

n tyd net bietjie kleur

verloor, meer ge-

woonte as pas-

sie is, te veel

gesels oor die

kinders en die

werk, as oor die verhouding.

Maar steeds is Engela gelukkig

totdat Manie van sy

saketrippie terugkeer en sy

tas in- en nie tpak nie. En

voordat Engela haar o kan

uitvee, hardloop hy tas en al

af met die trappe, uit by die

voordeur en uit Engela se lewe. Met heelwat

toekennings op haar kerfstok, glo Hennie dat

Anthea Thompson die perfekte person is om

Engela vlees temaak. InMybriljante egskei-

ding wissel Engela se reaksies van skreeu-

snaakse uitbarstings tot roerende oomblik-

ke, enAnthea speel hierdie emosies soosnote

in n simfonie, s Hennie.

Ek ken soveel vrouens wat nes Engela

hulle identiteit moes verruil vir di van ma,

of vrou, of huishoudster en dan jare

later weer moes soek na wie sy

oorspronklik was, vertel An-

thea. Sy s syt dadelik gevoel

asof Engela n vriend is.

Dis ook hoe dit geskryf is

die hele vertoning voel

of jou beste vriendin vir

jou haar storie vertel.

Di toneelstuk is vir

haar so lekker dat An-

theamet elkenuwever-

toning Engela se hele

reis saam met die ge-

hoor meemaak, asof dit

die eerste keer is. Syt al

so diep inmy hart gekruip.

En natuurlik is sy vrek

snaaks. Anthea se medespe-

ler inMy briljante egskeiding is

haar hond, Julius, wat somsmeer re-

aksie as sy ontlok. Dus is

sy maar bly dat hy nie die

heel tyd saammet haar op

die verhoog is nie. Ons het

lank gewonder oor hoe ons

Julius op die verhoog gaan laat

verskyn en ek dink hy is

pragtig. Anthea, of En-

master, says that this is a remarkable

achievement for the winery, especially for

its Durbanville Hills chardonnay, a wine

that is available nationwide and at a compet-

itive price.

For the 2015DurbanvilleHills chardonnay

the grapes from each vineyard block was

vinified separately. Some 80% of the wine

was fermented in steel tanks and left for four

months on the lees to achieve a pronounced

fruit character. The balance was fermented

and matured, also for four months, in the

presence of tight-grain French oak staves.

These added complexity and subtle oak fla-

vours without dominating the fruit charac-

ter of the wine.

Martin says they followamuch gentler ap-

proach with their Rhinofields chardonnay.

To ensure a seamless integration between

oakand fruit, 60%of thewinewas fermented

and matured in stainless steel tanks over a

12-month period.

The remainder of the wine spent a total of

12 months in French oak barrels, rolling the

barrels by hand instead of stirring the lees

in the conventional manner.
