    A

    mud eruption from underneath the

    paving at the Ben Venuti complex in

    DUrbanvale was the latest in the

    thorny issues surrounding the controver-

    sial new Clara Anna Fontein development.

    The mud outburst, referred to as a frac-

    out in engineering terms, occurred last

    Wednesdaywhen the contractor Rambore, a

    specialist in trenchless pipe and cable lay-

    ing, used themethod of horizontal direction-

    al drilling to lay a pipeline from the

    construction site of Clara Anna Fontein

    underneath the Vissershok Road to DUr-

    banvale.

    The body corporate of theBenVenuti com-

    plex is now concerned about possible struc-

    tural damage to the foundation of the com-

    plex building and demanded an inspection

    by a structural engineer.

    The Clara Anna Fontein development

    was, despite the drawn-out court cases over

    yearspreceding theonset of construction, al-

    so in a pickle earlier this year due to dust

    pollution, wild animals roaming the con-

    struction site and the unannounced cutting

    of the water supply to DUrbanvale.

    The pipelinewas laid underneathVissers-

    hok Road to DUrbanvale for electricity ca-

    bles to be linked with the substation oppo-

    site Reddam House (previously known as

    Chesterhouse School).

    There are two substations in DUrban-

    vale that need to be connected. No existing

    sleeves were available underneath the road

    and new sleeves had to be installed by thrust

    boring, said Conrad Visser of Adenco, the

    electrical engineering contractor.

    The mud outburst occurred at the Ben Ve-

    nuti complex at the entrance to DUrban-

    vale, causing severe damage to the paving

    on one side of the complex.

    By last Friday muddy water was also run-

    ning down venting holes in the basement of

    the complex.

    FROM PAGE 1

    According to an incident report by Ram-

    bore, they successfully completed a 95mm

    x 75m pilot bore in various soil conditions.

    Water was used in the process.

    When they were about 75% into the back

    ream, they noticed a frac-out inside Ben

    Venuti complex.

    Rambore struggled for about an hour to

    get access into BenVenuti.Wewere only al-

    lowed access when one of the residents no-

    ticed our presence at the main gate.

    The resident escorted Rambore to the

    frac-out. Rambore immediately tried to get

    hold of the letting agency to get information

    regarding the body corporate of Ben Venuti

    Complex.

    We got hold of one of the trustees resid-

    ing at 10 Ben Venuti, who gave permission

    to work inside the premises of Ben Venuti

    and to remove old locks from a side door for

    easy access.

    When we completed the 200mm back

    reaming, we stopped all drilling work im-

    mediately to clean up, according to the re-

    port.

    LastThursdaya clean-up crewwason site

    to control and minimise mud spillage and

    to accommodate Ben Venuti residents and

    to explain what was going on.

    Although theywere in the process of rein-

    stating the paving, they were stopped.

    George Sieraha, a trustee member of the

    body corporate of Ben Venuti, said after

    muddy water came out of the venting holes

    in the basement, he instructed them to stop

    any clean-up work so that an assessor can

    come out to investigate the damage.

    There can be structural damage which

    can causeus problems later, he said toTyg-

    erBurger.

    We have also already alerted our insur-

    ance company about possible damage, he

    said.

    A spokesperson from Rambore told Tyg-

    erBurger the erf adjacent to the Ben Venuti

    complex, where a catchment dam was tem-

    porarily built to receive the mud effluent,

    will be entirely cleaned up once the mud is

    dry enough to be removed.

    The damaged pavingwill also be repaired

    as soon as a structural engineer has investi-

    gated the site for structural damage, he

    said.

    According to the website www.hydro-

    techndrc.com the method of horizontal di-

    rectional drilling offers many advantages

    over traditional trenching methods and ul-

    timately reduces construction time and

    costs.

    According to entries in a brochure on the

    website, it eliminates the need to cut roads

    which is expensive to restore and to pro-

    vide traffic diversions.

    The muddy water that came through the venting pipes in the basement, concerns residents of the Ben Venuti complex about possible

    structural damage.

    A catchment dam was

    created on an erf

    adjacent to the Ben

    Venuti complex in

    DUrbanvale to receive

    the mud effluent while

    the pipeline was

    installed underneath the

    Vissershok Road.

    I DO!

    During our lifetime

    most of us invest in a

    invest our savings

    BUT do we invest ENOUGH in our OWN

    EXERCISE: A brisk walk for 20

    minutes, 3 times aweekwould do nobody

    any harm. One does not have to be an

    ironman tobehealthy.

    SLEEP: A balanced lifestyle includes

    enough sleep, without which we cannot

    Watching television is great but reading

    D

    ie eienaar van die Bloemendal-res-

    taurant op die heuwel op die Bloe-

    mendal-wynplaas buite Durbanville

    het verlede week n bloedneus gekry in die

    lang uitgerekte hofgeding in die Wes-Kaap-

    se hooggeregshofmet die plaaseienaars oor

    di restaurant se uitsetting.

    Di uitspraak bring talle besprekings vir

    troues en ander byeenkomste in gedrang,

    waarvan sommige so lank gelede as 19

    maande gelede gedoen is.

    Die hofsaak sleep al sedert Maart 2014

    voort nadat Spirito Trade 82, eienaars van

    die plaas waarop die restaurant gele is,

    aansoek by die Bellvillese siviele hof ge-

    doen om n uitsettingsbevel nadat die res-

    taurant onder meer versuim het om agter-

    stallige huurgeld te betaal. Tradefirm se

    huurooreenkoms is eers in Julie 2013 en la-

    ter weer in Augustus 2014 beendig.

    Die eienaar van die restaurant, Trade-

    firm 135, van wie die direkteure Freddie

    Turner en Johan van Wyk is, het hierop n

    aksie ingestel vir vergoeding vir die koste

    van die gebou en infrastruktuur op die stuk

    grond. Di eis is na die hooggeregshof oor-

    gedra, omdat die eisbedrag die jurisdiksie-

    perk van die landdroshof oorskry het. Hier-

    die eis is later deur Tradefirm teruggetrek.

    Spirito het intussen n teeneis ingedien

    vir die uitsetting van Tradefirm, waarop

    Tradefim n teeneis ingedien het om skade-

    vergoeding van R50 000 per maand weens

    Spirito se onregmatige inmenging met sy

    besigheid; vergoeding van R9 860 miljoen

    vir verbeteringe wat Tradefirm op die

    huurperseel aangebring het, asook vergoe-

    ding van sowat R4,85 miljoen vir die oorna-

    me van die klandisiewaarde van Tradefirm

    se restaurant.

    In sy uitspraak verledeDinsdag 3Mei het

    regter Andr Blignaut die uitsetting van

    Tradefirm vanuit die restaurantperseel ge-

    las. Hierdie bevel sal op 31 Julie in werking

    tree met dien verstande dat Tradefirm die

    bepalings van die bestaande huurkontrak

    vanaf 3 Mei nakom onder meer die beta-

    ling van huurgeld van R30 000 per maand.

    Blignaut het ook Tradefirm se teeneis

    van die hand gewys vir skadevergoeding

    weens Spirito se beweerde onregmatige in-

    menging met sy sake. Hy het Tradefirm ge-

    las om Spirito se koste met hierdie bevele,

    asook di van twee advokate, op die party-

    en-party-skaal (laagste skaal van koste) te

    betaal, asook kostes wat spruit uit die saak

    in die Bellville-landdroshof.

    Volgens Fred Botha namens Spirito be-

    oog die plaaseienaars om die restaurant op

    te knap en dit saam met met hul ander res-

    taurant, Bon Amis, te bedryf.

    Tradefirm het 15 dae vanaf die uitspraak

    op 3 Mei om appl teen die regter se uit-

    spraak aan te teken. Freddie Turner, mede-

    eienaar vandieBloemendal-restaurant, het

    aanTygerBurger bevestig dat hulle teen die

    uitspraak gaan appelleer.

    Slave Route Challenge was n reusesukses

    Die Slave Route Challenge, wat

    op Moedersdag in Kaapstad

    plaasgevind het, was n reuse-

    sukses met 9 000 mense wat

    deelgeneem het. Die Slave

    Route Challenge neem mense

    op n roete verby geskiedkun-

    dige bakens wat verband hou

    met die geskiedenis van sla-

    werny in die Moederstad. Die

    koesister-bult in die Bo-Kaap

    is een van die hoogtepunte: n

    n steil klippaadjie word n

    mens bo-op die heuwel be-

    groet met n tuisgemaakte

    tradisionele koesister. Tyger-

    Burger was een van die media-

    borge van die geleentheid.

    Rashied Isaacs het die fotos

    geneem.

    he garden bench that was stolen in

    front of the Durbanville Animal Hos-

    pital on the night of Wednesday 20

    April, found its way back.

    Last week TygerBurger reported on the

    stolen bench that has stood outside the

    practice for more than 30 years.

    A woman from Durbanville contacted

    us and said she saw the picture in Tyger-

    Burger and thought she had our bench. She

    bought it from Cash Crusaders in Durban-

    ville the previous week, says Jane Bezuid-

    enhout, practice manager.

    They laid a charge of theft at the Durban-

    ville police station. They are liaising with

    Cash Crusaders to try and trace the thief

    who stole our bench, says Bezuidenhout.

    We are very happy that our bench is

    back, and we will be bolting it into the wall

    for safety, Bezuidenhout says.

    The woman, Rolena Palvi fromVierland-

    en, who bought the bench for about R400,

    will get her money back, promised Russell

    Meredith, owner of Crash Crusaders.

    The seller, amanwith a garden services

    type of truck, came around andwe believed

    his story that the client did not want the

    bench anymore. Once he has been found

    guilty, we can blacklist him at all our bran-

    ches across the country.

    This is bad for our reputation as we do

    our outmost best not to buy stolen items

    and demand proof of ownership with more

    expensive items, he says.

    Bench finds its way back

    Warm donation: Carla Diener, a photographer from Durbanville, donated a total of 61

    blankets to the children of the Durbanville Childrens Home last week. She heard about

    the need at the home and collected the blankets with the help of friends and family.

    he money raised with the

    third annual Miggie Chal-

    lenge on Wednesday 27 April

    at the Paarl dam far exceeded ex-

    pectations.

    A total of R22 087was raisedwith

    this fun event in which 189 anglers

    took part. This years beneficiary

    is Damian Wolf from Sun Valley,

    Fish Hoek.

    The Miggie Challenge was start-

    ed in 2014 as anannual competition

    to celebrate the life and positive

    spirit of Stefan MiggieKing from

    Brackenfell, as well as helping

    thosewho suffer fromCysticFibro-

    sis and similar life-threatening dis-

    eases.

    Miggie, who was a hero in fish-

    ing circles, lost the battle to cystic

    fibrosis in 2014 at the age of 21.

    Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disor-

    der that affects mostly the lungs,

    but also the pancreas, liver, kid-

    neys and intestine.

    With the rules of the day includ-

    ing stealing fish, exaggerating the

    size of your catch and kissing your

    first fish of the day, it was a fun

    event enjoyed by all participants.

    It was a spectacular day at the

    dam, saysKalinOelofse fromDur-

    banville, one of the organisers.

    In 2014 an amount of R14 000 was

    raised towards Miggie. Last year a

    total of 67 anglers registered for the

    competition, Oelofse says.

    Then the amount of R17 000 was

    raised in aid of the second benefici-

    ary, Andries van der Merwe from

    Boland Freshwater Angling Club.

    The purpose of this competition

    is fun and anglers were encour-

    aged to arrive at the dam wearing

    out-of-the-box fancy dress cos-

    tumes.

    Prizes were awarded to the best

    dressed peg, best dressed individu-

    al, biggest fish, the smallest fish,

    the best junior under 16 years of

    age and the best woman angler.

    Kalin Oelofse

    from Durbanville

    won the award

    for Best Dressed

    ie raaisel rondomdie vrektes van dui-

    we het verdiep nadat ng n leser ge-

    kla het oor die onverklaarblare vrek-

    te van duiwe ook in hr woonbuurt.

    n Leser, wat anoniemwou bly, het verle-

    de week in n brief Lemoenduifies se vrek-

    tes ontstel in TygerBurger van 4 Mei haar

    kommer uitgespreek omdat sy sedert De-

    sember verlede jaar gereeld dooie lemoen-

    duifies in en om haar tuin by haar huis in

    Boston vind. Net in April alleen is 22 dooie

    duifies gevind, het sy geskryf. Volgens haar

    het die duiwe geen sigbare tekens van bese-

    rings getoon nie, buiten enkeleswat n paar

    verlore stertvere gehad het. n Paar is le-

    wendig gevind, waar hul dan net op die

    grond sit. Partykeer kon hulle nog vlieg,

    maar dan kon hulle slegs so eenmeter hoog

    vlieg voorhulle danweer grond toe val. Ons

    het hulle dan versorg, net om hulle n paar

    uur later dood te vind, het sy vertel.

    Nou het nog n leser, Barbara Watts van

    Eversdal, aan TygerBurger rapporteer dat

    sy ook gereeld dooie duifies, hoofsaaklik

    tortelduifies, in haar tuin by haar huis in

    High Trees-weg vind. Volgens Watts het sy

    reeds 41dooieduifies getel sedertDesember

    verlede jaar hoofsaaklik jong duiwe. Ook

    haar buurman het so vier of vyf dooie dui-

    we gevind. Die duiwe het op die oog nie ge-

    lyk of daar enigiets met hulle verkeerd is

    nie. Hulle toon dieselfde simptome as die

    duiwe in Boston hulle kan vlieg, maar net

    kort entjies en dis maklik om hulle te vang.

    As nmens hulle in n hokkie sit, kry jy hul-

    le later dood, vertel sy.

    Henk Chalmers van Eagle Encounters by

    die Spier-wynlandgoed, het ges tensy die

    duiwe nie behoorlik getoets is nie, kan n

    mens net spekuleer oor wat die oorsaak is.

    Dis moontlik dat hulle vergiftig word.

    Die uitermate warm weer en gevolglike

    siektes kon ook n rol gespeel het. Dis dalk

    moontlik dat dit net jong duiwe is wat vrek,

    omdat hul immuniteit nog nie ten volle ont-

    wikkel is nie, het hy geraai. Brigitte Bh-

    mer, n diereverpleegsuster by die Klap-

    muts Bird Clinic, het ges die waarskynlik-

    heid dat die duiwe vergiftig is, is baie hoog.

    Die enigstemanier omseker tewees van

    die oorsaak, is om een van die dooie duiwe

    na die Stellenbosch-staatslaboratorium te

    neem vir n nadoodse ondersoek. As dit net

    jong vols is wat doodgaan, kan dit dalk die

    paramyxo-viruswees,maar dan sal die pro-

    bleemwyer ervaarword. Dit kan ook tewy-

    te wees aan n salmonella-infeksie, s sy.

    Oud-leerder van die Horskool Dur-

    banville is onlangs vir haar toewy-

    ding en uitnemende prestasie beloon

    met die toekenning vir die beste kulinre

    prestasie tydens The Private Hotel School se

    gradeplegtigheid.

    Carmen Eksteen, wat haar internskap by

    die veelbekroonde The Tasting Room by Le

    Quartier Franais in Franschhoek gedoen

    het, is onlangs aangestel as die junior pastry

    chef de partie by The Tasting Room.

    Sy droom daarvan om eendag haar eie boe-

    tiekbakkery te open.

    My tyd by The Private Hotel School het

    my geleer om nooit bang te wees nie, nooit

    nee dankie te s vir n geleentheid wat in jou

    rigting komnie, en omnie toe te laat datmen-

    se oor jou loop nie, s n selfversekerde Car-

    men.

    Oor haar tyd as intern: Dit is byna on-

    moontlik om vir iemandwat buite die bedryf

    staan te verduidelik hoe dit is om n sjef in

    n groot, besige kombuis te wees. Om n in-

    ternskap te doen is seker die bestemanier om

    uit te vind of dit regtig die loopbaan vir jou

    is jy land aan die diepkant en moet eenvou-

    dig swem, of opgee, s sy.

    SusinaJooste, die direkteurvanThePriva-

    teHotel School (TPHS), verduidelikdat sydie

    studente uitsoek om spesifiek te pas by die

    sjefs waar hulle vir hul internskappe inge-

    Groep van vyf vriendinne

    van Durbanville met vlyti-

    ge breivingers het middel

    verlede jaar begin om saam-saam

    vir liefdadigheid te brei.

    Onshet eers gebrei vir ander or-

    ganisasies en net ons goedjies ge-

    skenk, maar toe besef, as ons self

    brei, kan ons dit mos self uitdeel

    ook, vertel Annelize Jensen.

    Hulle het toe die organisasie Ca-

    ring 4 Kidz and Creatures gestig.

    Ons het eers net gekonsentreer

    op breigoed vir kinders, maar ons

    deel n liefde vir diere en het be-

    sluit om ook die diere in ons area

    te ondersteun, s sy.

    Voorraad vir winter

    Sedert verlede jaar het hulle be-

    hoorlik die penne laat wikkel om

    voorraad gereed te h vir hierdie

    komende winter.

    Hulle het kos, warm kombersies

    en speelgoed met n projek ingesa-

    mel en onlangs aan drie dierewel-

    synsorganisasies geskenk.

    MetKerstyd verlede jaar het hul-

    le ook n Kerspartytjie vir 30 kin-

    ders in Fisantekraal gehou.

    Vanjaar wil die vriendinne

    hulle is nou net drie, Jensen,

    Carmen vanWyk enKelly Louden,

    Winter Warmer Boxes bymekaar

    maak.

    Harte van goud

    Di bokse sal op Dinsdag 24 Mei

    aan seniors in Fisantekraal uitge-

    deel word.

    Ons is net drie vriendinne met

    harte van goud, wat n verskil wil

    maak in ons gemeenskap, s sy.

    Ons het ook n engel, Estelle

    Meyer, wat vreeslik baie vir ons

    brei en wat al die blokkies wat ons

    maak en kry, aanmekaar vaswerk

    vir die komberse. Sybesteeure aan

    diewerkwat sy vir ons doen, voeg

    sy by.

    Ons wil elke boks vul met n

    handgebreide kombersie, serp en

    mussie en dan ook goed soos n tan-

    deborsel, tandepasta, seep, n was-

    lappie, koekies, sneesdoekies en

    Vicks.

    Ons sal baie dankbaar wees vir

    enige donasies of kontant ons sal

    dan self die items koopwat ons nog

    nodig het vir die bokse.

    Die rede hoekom ons Fisante-

    kraal gekies het, is dat dit op ons

    voorstoep is dit is mense so naby

    aan Durbanville wat hulp nodig

    het. En as een van ons gebreide ser-

    pies of kombersies iemand diewin-

    ter kan warm hou, sal dit ons baie

    bly maak.

    LEWENSKIEKIE

    Three days of

    paternity

    leave a joke!

    Ive had bags under my eyes for so long

    that I named them.

    Its no coincidence that theyre named

    after my two toddlers Joshua and

    Amlie.

    Im writing this from the perspective of

    a very involved and very tired father

    who gets just as little sleep as his wife.

    This weekend I went to a well-known

    shopping centre in the northern suburbs

    with my kids and were met by a very

    adamant and somewhat sarcastic security

    guard.

    While I was unloading screaming child

    number one, the guard marched towards

    me and indicated that I was not allowed

    to park there. He furiously pointed

    towards the sign reading Moms & Tots.

    The guard reasoned that I was clearly

    not a mom, despite the exaggerated bags

    under my eyes hanging so low that I

    needed a bra.

    I refused to move the car and flatly

    ignored the man.

    Yet, he had a point!

    Im not a mom. So

    why on earth are

    there no Dads &

    Tots parking

    spaces?

    Little did I know

    my day was about

    to go from bad to

    worse.

    Screaming child

    number two had a

    dirty nappy and

    much to my

    dismay I discov-

    ered that the baby

    changing area was located in the wom-

    ens rest rooms.

    These two issues are more than just a

    personal gripe.

    It affects every single dad, and even

    more so every single single dad!

    As if us poor souls dont have enough

    on our plates already.

    Its quite clearly a case of gross sexual

    discrimination and tests a tired fathers

    nerves to the extreme.

    Someone with more energy needs to do

    something about it.

    And dont get me started on the differ-

    ence between maternity and paternity

    leave in South Africa!

    A mother needs time to heal physically

    and emotionally. In most cases she needs

    to breastfeed every three hours, so they

    obviously need to spend a long time at

    home after giving birth.

    A fathers role during this time is

    nothing to scoff at, especially if he must

    get up to go to work in the morning.

    Three days of paternity leave is a joke.

    Hear my bone-wearied chuckle. Andr

    It is against the law to

    discharge a firearm in a

    These boys need to be

    stopped; what they are doing is

    animal abuse and cruelty.

    allowing this at all, is frighten-

    they could escalate their

    games to something worse,

    Ek het onlangs n vertoning in

    die Bellville-stadskouburg

    bygewoon. Die gebou lyk op die

    oog af netjies en die instand-

    houding van die gebou is goed.

    Die skouburg is in 1957

    ingewy. Ek is egter teleurge-

    steld in sekere aspekte, soos die

    eertydse spuitfontein wat in

    onbruik geraak het en nou n

    wit olifant is.

    Die toringhorlosie is buite

    werking en het op 15:45 gestop.

    Die tuingedeelte om die

    spuitfontein bestaan uit ses

    blombeddings, waarvan slegs

    een met roosbome beplant is

    terwyl klippe welig in die ander

    l. By die ingang na die skou-

    burg is vier groot potplanthou-

    ers. In twee van hulle groei n

    is sonder plante en staan

    since it is malnourished, in

    other words, getting too little

    to eat, what is there left to do ?

    I also see that they are not

    in good shape. Has anybody

    with some compassion in their

    hearts stopped to explain the

    situation to this couple? And

    try to do something that will

    T

    he Fisantekraal rail station will be up-

    graded by the Passenger Rail Agency of

    South Africa (Prasa) in the next year

    at a cost of R6.5m.

    Currently about 40 passengers board the

    train and 400 passengers disembark the

    train in the evening peak hour.

    The rail station has been identified by

    both the City of Cape Town and Prasa as a

    rail station that is in need of a proper up-

    grade.

    This was in a report that served in front

    of subcouncil 7 (Koeberg) at its last monthly

    meeting in April.

    The subcouncil requested the commis-

    sioner of Transport for Cape Town (TCT) to

    approach Prasa to discuss the possible up-

    grade of the station. The upgrade could in-

    clude the extension of the station platform,

    the provision of sufficient lightning and the

    provision of appropriate shelter.

    It could also include ablution facilities, se-

    curity offices, signage and fencing around

    the facilities.

    Currently the rail station platform shelter

    and surrounding facilities are accessed

    through an open gate west of the platform

    and has a single track running through the

    facilities.

    Seating is provided on the platform, but

    the material used for the seats has shown

    signs of deterioration.

    The shelter facilities are also incomplete

    with no roofing.

    According to the report the start of con-

    struction is dependant on the successful

    award of the tender, which would have been

    in February and March this year.

    Rail station to be upgraded

    About 20 cyclists will be cycling 480km in

    30 hours fromOudtshoorn toDurbanville

    to raise funds and awareness for Fisan-

    tekraal Animal Welfare (FAW).

    The Fisantekraal Animal Welfare 10th

    AnniversaryCycleChallengewill start in

    Oudtshoorn on Saturday 21 May and end

    in Durbanville the following day.

    The goal is for each rider to represent

    a R1000 sponsorship in order to raise

    R20 000 for animal sterilisations in the

    township. Riders pay their own way and

    all donations go towards FAW.

    By Sunday 1 May a total of R9 400 had

    already been sponsored, but there are

    still a few spaces available if more cy-

    clists want to take part.

    Some riders will cycle the entire dis-

    tance in one go, while others will ride in

    relay teams of two.

    The tour is presented in association

    with Adrenalin Bikes, and has been

    planned by Durbie Dash organiser Neil

    van Tonder and his wife, Belinda, who is

    a FAW volunteer.

    LandRoverN1 City is generously spon-

    soring the use of two Land Rovers as sup-

    port vehicles. Day Trippers Bicycle Tour

    Company has donated the use of a 10-

    berth trailer to transport bicycles.

    The riders progresswill be followed on

    FAWs Facebook page and on Instagram.

    Enkelwingerdwyn kry trofee

    Vanjaarword daar vir die eerste keer n tro-

    fee toegeken vir Suid-Afrika se top-enkel-

    wingerdwyn indie jaarlikseNovareSATer-

    roir-wyntoekennings.

    Dikompetisie omdiebestewynevolgens

    hul terroir aan te wys, is elf jaar gelede ge-

    stig. Daar is geen twyfel dat die uiterste

    uitbeelding van n terroir, die Franse term

    vir wynterrein, n enkelwingerdwyn is nie.

    Die grond en klimaat van daardie win-

    gerd staan uit as die regte kultivar daar ge-

    plant is, verduidelik Marius Labuschagne

    van Durbanville, stigter en projekleier. Die

    ander trofe is vir die top-terroir-produ-

    sent, top-wynlandgoed en top-wyngebied.

    Benewens die trofe en nasionale wen-

    ners van spesifieke kultivars en wynstyle,

    word Suid-Afrika se topvyf-landgoedwyne

    ook op di verhoog aangekondig. Nog n be-

    langrike aspek van die kompetisie is dat die

    topwyne van die verskillende gebiede ook

    in die uitslae aangekondig word.

    Daar was konsensus dat dit tyd is om

    Suid-Afrika se top enkelwingerdwynmet n

    trofee te bekroon. Indien die enkelwingerd-

    wyne se inskrywings n sekere getal bereik,

    is dit ook ons doelwit omSuid-Afrika se top-

    vyf-enkelwingerdwyne aan te kondig, s

    Labuschagne. Volgens Carin Stemmet, SA-

    WIS se bestuurder van sertifiseringsdien-

    ste, is daar tot nou 829 enkelwingerdwyne

    gesertifiseer sedert die 2005-oesjaar. Om te

    kwalifiseer as n enkelwingerdwyn moet

    die betrokke wingerd geregistreer wees.

    Die afbakeningskomitee van die Wyn- en

    Spiritusraad is verantwoordelik vir di re-

    gistrasies. Slegswynewat gesertifiseer is as

    wyn van oorsprong enkelwingerd, land-

    goed-geproduseer, wyk of distrik, wat in nie

    meer as een wyk verdeel is nie, kan deel-

    neem. Die sluitingsdatum vir inskrywings

    @lounotes

    T

    hey dont have much, but

    they still have a body that

    can do amazing things.

    This is one of the key lessons

    Hanne La Cour says the ActionAr-

    te Foundation tries to teach the

    children they work with.

    The organisation has been using

    circus performance skills to help

    empower young people, especially

    in the Hanover Park community,

    and non-circus folk will get a

    glimpse of their non- traditional

    acts when the foundations core

    group performs at Trash Cabarets

    Carnival of Dreams at Hillcrest

    Quarry on Saturday 14 May.

    The foundation was started by

    Hanne,who is originally fromDen-

    mark, and Marlin Roos, a second

    generation circus performer who

    has been training since the age of

    seven.

    Hanne says Marlin has always

    been interested in learning, teach-

    ing and giving back to the commu-

    nity of Hanover Park through free

    classes. She, on the other hand,

    comes from a background of thea-

    tre and social projects and when

    the two met, they decided to com-

    bine their skills.

    I was fascinated by the circus,

    Hanne says, so she started to train

    and travelled with Marlin to Spain

    where they spent two years learn-

    ing how to use circus training as

    a teachingmethod. They started of-

    fering workshops soon after re-

    turning in January 2014. Living

    in Hanover Park is hard.

    Hanne highlights issues like

    gang violence and lack of involve-

    ment from parents and says Ac-

    tionArte connectswith children by

    keeping them off the streets, in-

    spiring them to be creative and

    teaching them about the impor-

    tance of education. By teaching

    children what their bodies are ca-

    pable of, they also instil a sense of

    positivity and teach children that

    they can choose a better life.

    The foundations teachers use

    juggling, for example, to teach chil-

    dren concentration and reason.

    To keep the balls in the air you

    have to want it and have to find the

    rhythm and coordination. They

    also use the juggling to teach little

    ones mathematics. While they

    dont go into the full mathematical

    theory behind the art, they do use

    it to teach things like times tables.

    Children who cant sit still are

    encouraged to train in acrobatics

    to use their energy positively.

    The foundations core group is

    made up of performers from the

    community who have been trained

    as teachers and professional per-

    formers. Besides training the

    youth and professional classes for

    anyone interested in becoming a

    circus performer or get fit, they al-

    so perform regularly, often at cor-

    porate events, to keep the founda-

    tion running and expanding.

    ActionArte also raises funds and

    reaches out to the community

    through their Sunday Funday aft-

    ernoons at their base in Epping

    where families are invited to ex-

    plore their circus world.

    Hanne will be one of the artists

    performing atTrashCabaretsCar-

    nival of Dreams on Saturday

    ciality: hanging by her hair.

    n

    Nuwe leraar in Durbanvil-

    le wil n bediening wat

    nuut en anders is vir stu-

    dente en jongmense inDurbanville

    begin.

    Ds. Hanno Ackerman, wat nuut

    is by die NG Kerk Sonstraal, wil n

    gemeenskap skep vir die jeug, stu-

    dente en jongmense met n nuwe

    Ignite-erediens in Engels n

    Afrikaans op Sondae van 18:00 tot

    19:00 by die kerk op die hoek van

    Tulip- en Hebronstraat in Amanda

    Glen. As jy op soek is na n plek

    om deel te voel van die community

    en waar jy spiritueel kan groei, is

    hierdie bediening vir jou, nooi

    Ackerman. Ek is self nog in my

    twintigs en besef dat jong volwas-

    senes dit noodsaaklik vind om be-

    trokke te wees in n bediening wat

    nuut en anders is. Die erediens is

    n aanddiens, wat meer in n kon-

    temporre styl aangebied word as

    die tradisionele erediens.

    Ek kom van Gauteng af, waar

    ek meestal betrokke was by bedie-

    ningswatmeer gefokuswas opmo-

    derne worship en prediking.

    In die kort tydperkwat ek in die

    Kaap bly, besef ek dat hier baie

    jong volwassemense is wat in Dur-

    banville werk, bly of van hier af

    swot. Ek glo n mens het n commu-

    nity nodig en kort ander insette en

    denke in jou lewe.

    Dis waarom ek jongmense wil

    aanmoedig om by enige bediening

    inDurbanville aan te sluit, wat ook

    al jou tipe spiritualiteit pas, s hy.

    Ek wil nie h jongmense moet

    n skuif maak tussen gemeentes as

    hulle gemaklik voel waar hulle is

    nie. As jy nie n plek het nie en in

    die area woon, is jy welkom om

    deel te word van die bediening.

    Diegenewat worstel met die idee

    van godsdiens of geloof, is ook wel-

    kom om betrokke te raak en saam

    met ons n pad te stap, nooi hy.

    Hy wil n kursus aanbied vir

    jongmense wat worstel met vrae

    rondom godsdiens en geloof, met

    die titel The Question of Life.

    Bediening vir jonges begin
