APPLICATION: QUESTIONS ARISE OVER CITY PROPERTY

Land sale debacle

ESM ERASMUS

@erasmusesme

W

hile an application for the sale of a

vacant erf in De Villiers Avenue

located between the Durbanville

Clinic and the New Apostolic Church is

still being considered by the City of Cape

Town, it seems that a rumour that a mosque

will be built on this land, may carry some

weight.

The application for the proposed granting

of in-principle approval for the sale by pub-

lic competition of erf 4481 in DeVilliers Ave-

nue for a place of worship and instruction

purposes, was considered at the meeting of

Subcouncil 7 (Koeberg) on Monday 16 May.

This City owned erf of 2000m is currently

zoned as open space zone 2 and is used for

overflow parking from the clinic during

the week, the church on Sundays and the

sport fields opposite the road during sport

events.

It is bordered by the Durbanville Quadri-

plegic Centre (Andries Olivier Home) at the

back and also close to residential homes in

Hafele Street.

This application came after the Muslim

Judicial Council (MJC), as well as another

religious organisation, the Western Cape

ChristianMinistersAssociation (WCCMA),

identified this land for their purposes and

approached the Citys property manage-

ment department.

In his report Rashard Davids of this de-

partment stated that the land was valued at

R3.9 million, but that the discounted value

for community use which is 25% of mar-

ket value would be R975 000 (excluding

VAT and transfer costs).

The Citys intention to alienate the land

was advertised in the Cape Times and Die

Burger on 18 March, Davids said in his re-

port. He furthermore stated that the rele-

vant subcouncil chairperson, subcouncil co-

ordinator, ward councillors, ratepayers as-

sociations and regional officers were

notified for comment.

No objections or negative comments

were received against the application, he

stated in his report.

This was also confirmed by Ian Neilson,

the Citys executive deputy mayor and may-

oral committee member for finance.

He said the notification was sent to the

ward councillor, the chairperson and man-

ager of Subcouncil 7, as well as the National

and Provincial Treasury, on 15 April for

comment and objections.

A

neglected border collie in the middle

of nowhere was the inspiration for a

fundraising cycling challenge over

480 km in less than 30 hours to raise

money for the sterilisation of animals.

A total of R30 000 was raised by the group

of 13 cyclists and four support drivers, all

from the northern suburbs, with the chal-

lenge of riding non-stop from Oudtshoorn

to Durbanville in under 30 hours all in aid

of Fisantekraal Animal Welfare (FAW).

The ride was organised by Durbanville

residents Neil and Belinda van Tonder, also

the organisers of the popular Durbie Dash

cycling event, as part of FAWs tenth anni-

versary year.

Neil was inspired to organise the chal-

lenge by an experience he hadwhile partici-

pating in the seven-day Cape Pioneer.

In the middle of nowhere, we came

across a neglected border collie. I logged the

GPS co-ordinates and contacted Border Col-

lie Rescue, who rescued him. I have never

forgotten this dog, he said.

VanTonder, also a regular volunteerwith

FAW for over two years, said the sterilisa-

tion of dogs and cats in townships is FAWs

main area of focus as it is the best way to

combat animal neglect and abuse in the

long term. We, at FAW, would like to

thank each and every sponsor and donor,

the support drivers and especially the rid-

ers for their hard work. The difference this

is going to make is huge!

However, according to subcouncil manager

Gerhard Fourie, he only became aware of the

application about a week before the subcoun-

cil meeting on 16 May.

It came as a surprise, he said.

George Sieraha, chairperson of the Dur-

banville Community Forum, confirmed to

TygerBurgerhe also did not receive notifica-

tion of such an application.

No report from any line departments were

included in the report, which provoked a de-

bate at the subcouncil meeting. It was rec-

ommended that the report by Davids be de-

ferred to allow for the comment obtained

from line departments to be included in the

report.

According to Fourie, if the updated report

is submitted in time, it can still serve at the

next subcouncilmeeting on 13 June for a rec-

ommendation, or else it will have towait un-

til after the municipal elections in August.

He said on enquiry this alienation of City

owned land is part of the process which the

Citys property development department

started some years ago to identify pockets

of vacant land that could be earmarked for

sale.

Small pockets of vacant land arenot via-

ble for housing, and those that are not ear-

marked for parks, sport facilities or park-

ing, can be sold off in the open market.

This item speaks to one of those vacant

properties. Due processes will be followed,

and all applications will be considered on

their individual merits, he said.

Fourie added the vacant erf can also be

considered for overflow parking, and up to

now has been used for this purpose .

Neilson said requests were received

from theMJC and theWCCMA, but it must

be noted that should the council decide to

dispose of this site, it will do so by public

tender and no organisation will be given

preference. The City does not give prefer-

ence to any religious group. Any land iden-

tified for social care purposes, which in-

cludes religious use, will need to be sold by

public tender to give all organisations an

opportunity to apply.

The land would require a rezoning to

permit a place of worship, such as a

mosque, church or synagogue.

Should the council approve the in-prin-

ciple disposal of the property for a place of

worship, due process will need to be fol-

lowed, and thiswill include a public partic-

ipation process, which is a legislative re-

quirement to consider the rezoning of the

property, prior to its disposal, Neilson

said.

Despite this, TygerBurger was informed

by a source that someone phoned the prop-

erty management department about a

month ago, as well as about two weeks ago,

and in both instances was told by different

people at the department that amosquewill

be built on the land.

The source is known by TygerBurger, but

they prefer not to become further involved

due to the sensitivity of the matter.

The MJC is looking for land to build a

mosque, TygerBurger was told.

The Durbanville town hall was used for Is-

lamic prayer on Friday afternoons from

12:00 to 14:00 from13September 2014 to 26 De-

cember 2014.

TheMoslem community has beenmoved

to the Morningstar community hall from

January 2015 due to major upgrades taking

place at the Durbanville town hall, Belinda

Walker, mayoral committee member for

community services, said on enquiry.

The users were people of the community

and those who worked in Durbanville. We

are aware of between 50 to 60 people using

the facility for prayers, she said.

In the meantime, the New Apostolic

Church, which was built in 1999, is unaware

of this application and is busy negotiating

with the same department (the property

management department), for the lease of

the same land to use for overflow parking on

a Sunday.

TygerBurger has e-mail communication

as recent as 12May in which the churchwas

asked to submit more information.

According to Kenny Kotze, the church

wrote a letter to the council on 21 April to

request to lease the land for extra parking

on a Sunday, when between 450 to 500 people

attend the Sunday service.

We will not have a problem with a

mosque next to us. I do not think it will have

any impact on the way we worship, but it

may affect the residential area, aswell as the

clinic regarding parking on Fridays, he

said.

Tonder. PHOTO: JENNI DAVIES

@erasmusesme

G

rade 11 and 12 learners were play-

ing games such as Uno or 30 Sec-

onds for hours on end more or

less the entire school day at Study

Xpress in Durbanville, a former learner

told TygerBurger in a letter.

The 19-year-old girl, who is known to

TygerBurger but wants to stay anony-

mous, said in her letter she left school

last year while

she was in matric

after she was in

an accident, and

missed a lot of

school. She en-

rolled at Study

Xpress this year

to complete her

matric, but left

after a month aft-

er shewas disillu-

sioned by the set-

up. I was in a classroom with ten other

people, both in Grade 11 and 12, and they

played 30 Seconds orUno for five hours.

On the third day of attending the

school, she was asked to write an Afri-

kaans test. I was busy with it for about

two hours, while it was a one-hour test.

While writing my test I was also told I

could go on a lunch break to just relax

or play on my phone. I came to school

to work, not to play.

There were scheduled tests and if we

decided we werent ready we would tell

the facilitator not today and it would be

rescheduled. We had two-hour lunch

breaks in our five-hour school day.

When we applied, I was promised a

teacher for each subject, who will physi-

cally stand in the front of the classroom

teaching that it is not merely a situation

where a teacher is watching over the

class, she said.

Her mother made the full payment of

R41 186 to Study Xpress on 22 February.

After about only two weeks my mom

and I had already seen their promises to

be lies. To be what I want to be when I

leave school I

have to do pure

mathematics,

physical scien-

ces and engineer-

ing, graphics and

design. Insteadof

learning, we

were kept quiet

byplayingonour

phones, listening

to music and

chatting. For the

month I was there I was not taught a sin-

gle thing. I didnt even have all my text-

books. I had no teachers for these sub-

jects as Study Xpress told us they were

still looking for teachers, she said.

My mom agreed this was dodgy and

set up a meeting with the owner. We set

up three meetings and each one he

missed.

Ever since she left Study Xpress and

despite promises of a full refund, they

are still battling to get theirmoneyback.

He has now not only messed up my

plans to complete matric; I now have to

wait yet another year to do it, she said.

Tyger Valley Centre will be supporting local

animal shelters this winter by partnering

with and supporting the Dogbox Project.

The centre is inviting shoppers to be a part

of the initiative on Saturday 4 June from

10:00 to 12:00 in theTygerValleyArenawhere

the community will be asked to help com-

plete ready-made kennels. TygerBurger will

be entering a team too, and one lucky reader

will win aR1000 gift voucher from the centre.

Attendees can team up in pairs of two and

will be responsible for finishing one kennel

by adding finishing touches and varnishing

it. Teams are also allowed to bring along

paint, a paint brush and decorations to deco-

rate their kennels (optional).

Each kennel will receive a blanket and a

bag of dog food.

The centre will also be collecting food and

blankets, and anyone interested in making a

donation can do so at Tyger Valleys Custom-

er Care kiosks until Saturday 4 June.

The completed kennels will be distributed,

nate communities, where the living condi-

tions of some animals are far from perfect.

V A donation of R140 is required per kennel or for a

team of two. This includes the cost of the kennel, dog

food and a blanket. For more information about the

iemand is nog aangekeer in verband

met die afbrand van die klubhuis van

die rugbyklub in Fisantekraal nie.

Volgens lt. Marchell Rhode van die Dur-

banville-polisie is die skeepshouer op die

sportvelde in Lords Walk, waarin die klub-

huis gehuisves was, op 26 April tussen 13:00

en 13:30 deur n onbekende man aan die

brand gesteek.

Die skeepshouer ter waarde van R250 000

is verwoes.

n Klag van vandalisme word deur die po-

lisie ondersoek.

Gerhard Fourie, voorsitter van die sub-

raad 7 (Koeberg), het verlede Maandag ty-

dens die maandvergadering in sy voorsit-

tersrede ges hy is hartseer om dit te rap-

porteer.

Fourie het by verdere navrae aan Tyger-

Burger ges die vernietiging van die klub-

huis is n groot verlies vir die groter ge-

meenskap, veral die jeug. Die klubhuis is ja-

re gelede uit n wyksbegroting befonds, het

hy ges.

Dis jammer dat n enkele booswig die

groter gemeenskap dit ontneem omdie fasi-

liteit te kan benut, het hy ges.

Justin Basson, raadslid vir wyk 105, het

ges die klubhuis is reeds verlede jaar al ge-

vandaliseer deur bendes nadat die Stad

Kaapstad sekerheidsdienste by sportterrei-

ne gestaak het.

Volgens hom was die klubhuis toe reeds

net n le dop.

Volgens hom is ook die badkamers by die

ander sportterrein ook deur jong bendes ge-

vandaliseer. Die koperpype is gesteel en die

toilette gebreek en die panne uitgedra.

Study Xpress contract cancelled

ESM ERASMUS

@erasmusesme

T

he contract of all Study Xpress tutor

centres was cancelled last week by the

curriculum supplier Impak due to ill

payment and several recent unsettling

events at Study Xpress centres and the nega-

tive impact they could have on your childs

education, parents at Study Xpress in Dur-

banville were notified in a letter from Im-

pak.

The doors of Study Xpress in Durbanville

and Tokai were closed overnight about two

weeks ago by the owners, Ivan Grobler and

his wife, Chantelle, leaving 115 learners

without a school.

This came after all their tutors resigned

at once after they have not been paid for

three months and several allegations of ill

conduct.

Their lease agreement for the building on

the corner ofDeVilliersDrive andWellington

Road has been cancelled, while several char-

ges of fraud against Study Xpress are being

investigated by police.

Impak has also instituted collection steps

against StudyXpress for outstanding funds of

about R200 000.

Despite all this, TygerBurger was told that

Grobler last Friday enquired about the letting

of a premise in Durbanville. He introduced

himself as the owner of Study Xpress, accord-

ing to a source.

The closure of Study Xpress left many par-

ents in the lurch. They are desperately trying

to find other schools for their children.

Others were shocked to find that their chil-

dren have never been registered with the

Western Cape Education Department

(WCED) and that there are no records of them

on the system at all.

In terms of the Schools Act every child

under the age of 16 must be registered as

a home education learner with the WCED.

One dismayed parent found that her

daughter was behind in her school work to

such an extent that she was put in a lower

grade at another school.

It was also found that in many cases no

money that was paid to Study Xpress was

paid over to Impak thus no records of

those students exist either.

One of these parents is now claiming

R15 000 in the Bellville small claims court

to recover her costs.

According to the mother she will get a

court date on Wednesday 1 June.

She said she paid R8 000 in October last

year for registration and text books, but her

two children only received their text books

way into the new year.

Her daughter only received her text book

for tourism two days before she took her

daughter out of Study Xpress on Friday 6

May. According to the mother, who wants

to stay anonymous, she also paid R6 000 per

month for her childrens tutoring since 31

December.

But now, at their new tutoring centre, to

which they must drive from Durbanville to

Somerset West every day, they were found

to be so behind with their work that they

now need extra tutoring at R1200 per day for

three hours for both.

Also, it seems that Study Xpress never reg-

istered her Grade 10 daughter for either

tourismor computer applications technolo-

gy with Impak, although she paid for those

subjects.

They (the new tutor centre) want my

daughter to quit consumer studies, because

she had not done any of the practical work

at all, while her aptitude tests indicated

that shemust followacareer in the consum-

er industry.

Theynever did anypracticalwork. Iwas

promised that an ovenwas bought, but that

it must just be installed. This was all a lie.

I even offered that the children can do their

practical work in my own kitchen, she

said.

Her son inGrade 11 had towrite his infor-

mation technology and computer applica-

tions technology examinations in March

while henever received any tutoring in any

of the subjects due to the absence of a

tutor.

Our lives are so disrupted by this; I shall

never forgive them forwhat they have done

to my children, she said.

This is one of at least four claims pending

at the small claims court TygerBurger is

aware of.

Last Tuesday afternoon Grobler paid the

full claim amount of R6 676 less than an

hour before the hearing of a claim against

Study Xpress in the Bellville small claims

court.

RenHerbst, a former tutor andoneof the

parents who originally blowed the whistle

on Study Xpress, claimed back the deposit

she paid in September last year, as well as

the first instalment. She took her child out

of Study Xpress on Wednesday 3 February.

Grobler briefly appeared in court, where-

after the commissioner of the court dis-

missed the case, said Herbst.

Two more parents claim amounts of re-

spectively R4 107 and R12 600 for registra-

tion and tuition fees paid while the tutor

centre was found to be operating illegally

by theWCED. A court date must still be an-

nounced.

In the letter by Impak dated Tuesday 17

May, itwas stated that as of today, Impaks

contract with all Study Xpress centres, as

currently registered under Ivan Grobler,

have been cancelled and suspended.

These centres will no longer be serviced

by Impak.

Impak offered parents, who want their

child to continue studying through Impak,

an interim arrangement for the remainder

of 2016 at a discount of 40% on the full year

package fee.

Germari Pieterse, chief financial officer

of Impak, confirmed that their agreement

with Study Xpress has been cancelled and

they have instituted collection steps.

Impak currently engages directly with

affected parents. Special arrangements to

accommodate these parents and learners

have been made to ensure as little disrup-

tion to the learners as possible.

Impak is in the process of reregistering

learners directly and without the interven-

tion of any third party such as this centre,

she said.

According to Julian Taylor, franchise

owner of the Study Xpress in Bellville, he

has cancelled his contractwithGrobler and

will soon change the name of his tutor cen-

tre.

. Grobler did not comment by the time

of going to press on any of the allegations.

His cell phone also seemed to be blocked for

incoming calls, as it only gave an engaged

soundwhenphoned several times since last

week, while on WhatsApp it shows that he

is online, using his phone.

The family of the motorcyclist who was

killed at the intersection of Carl Cronje

and Frans Conradie drives in Bellville

onFriday 6May is looking forwitnesses.

The late Kevin Visagie lived in Dur-

banville.Hiswife,Marianna, anddaugh-

ters Shani and Zandri are desperate for

answers.

When paramedics arrived on the

scene, two doctorswere performingCPR

on the rider.

The paramedics assisted with ad-

vanced life support, but Kevin died.

It seems a truck collidedwith the rider

and dragged him for several metres.

ers on 021 918 3800 or 073 438 3090 or Steven

They always say bad luck comes in

threes but this is just ridiculous!

First it was my daughter with the flu,

then my son with a sprained shoulder

from a fall off his mountain bike; hubby

with an abscess in his tooth AND to top

it all off the DSTV wont work!

Luckily help is never far away, the

doctors from PineMed at Pine-

hurst Centre were absolutely

wonderful. There is a doctor,

psychologist and physiotherapist

on site daily who are always

ready to make us feel better;

AND with Clicks Pharmacy

there too, I dont need to

brave the larger centres

to get my medicine. Dr.

Stoffberg from The Smile

Dental Clinic also needs to be commended

after 2 days of suffering, she fixed

the problem and assured us it wont be

bothering him again anytime soon.

Then it was off to Sportsworld t o

fix the broken mountain

bike and I also picked

up a bike rack for my

car. That shop has great

staff who are always

willing to go the extra

mile!

Just a few shops away the lady at

Pope TV installations managed to get

our DSTV sorted and gave great advice

on the new DSTV Explora upgrade which

we are due for.

After all that life admin, I definitely

did not feel like cooking

supper, so we decided to

try the new Pizza Delish.

The owner Paolo Seri

made us feel truly welcome

and made possibly the

best Hawaiian pizza I have

ever tasted. Go on, try it for

yourself!

Thanks again Pinehurst Centre, for

always making life easier for me.

Golden opportunity: Ryan Perry (right)

from Aurora in Durbanville is the national

champion after he came first in the seniors

division at the Pokemon Trading Card Game

SA Nationals in Johannesburg on 14 May.

This win guarantees him an invitation to the

world championship in San Francisco in

August. With Ryan is Stefan Roets from

Blowfish Entertainment, the distributor of

the Pokemon Trading Card Game. Ryan, a

Grade 7 learner at Mountain View Academy

in Monte Vista, plays in the Tyger Valley

Pokemon League, which meets every

Saturday at The Battle Bunker in the Tyger

Valley shopping centre. His parents opened a

fundraising account at gogetfunding.com/ry

an2pokemonworlds/ to raise money to help

him achieve his dream of taking part in the

world championship.

Doggiewalk to raise

funds for shelters

The Brackenfell Athletics Club and the

Bar Flies Motorcycle Club are holding a

doggie walk and fun run on Saturday 4

June to raise money for animal shelters

in the area.

All funds will be used to buy dog

food which is always in shortage for

shelters in our area, says a spokesper-

son of the athletics club.

The fun run will start at the Bottelary

Tennis Club next to Caf Mambo at

10:00, followed by the doggie walk at

10:15. Food and beverages will be on

sale. Later the evening the Bar Flies will

host a party and bring and braai at the

club house starting at 19:00.

Entry to all events will be R30 per

person and donations of dog food will be

welcomed.

n

Oorweldigende hoeveelheid kle-

dingstukke en skoene is onlangs ter

herinnering van die 19-jarige Loui-

se van derWalt, n student aan die Prestige-

akademie in Bellville, aan die Tygerberg-

hospitaal, MES en Durbanville-kinderhuis

geskenk.

Gemeenskapslede en studente het klere

geskenk vir minderbevoorregte mense as

deel van die Sunflower Clothing Drive n

Louise se afsterwe. Louise is in Maart van-

jaar in n gru-motorongeluk oorlede nadat

sy van haarwerk by die Nooitgedacht-wyn-

plaas af gery het en n ander bestuurder in

haar vasgery het, het Tina Burger van die

Prestige-akademie ges.

Sy was altyd mal oor sonneblomme en

het die harte van baie mense aangeraak.

Sy het op die geleentheidsbestuur van

die gemeenskapsuitreikingsportefeulje ge-

dien. Ons het gedink dit sal net n gepaste

wyse wees om hulde aan haar te bring om-

dat sy vir die gemeenskap omgegee het.

Haar leuse in die lewe was everything

happens for a reason, s Amelia Blom,

hoof van studentesake. Die klere is op 6

Mei, Van der Walt se verjaarsdag, by die

verskillende nie-winsgewende organisa-

sies afgegee. Haar familie het die studente

van Prestige-akademie met die aflaai van

die klere gehelp.

Van der Walt het die aand voor haar af-

sterwe vanhaar eie klere by n vriendinDe-

rise Grobbelaar se huis gaan aflaai en ges

dat sy dit graag aanminderbevoorregte vol-

wassenes en kinders wil skenk, het Blom

ges.

Johanna Strauss, die bestuurder van die

Durbanville-kinderhuis, het ges sy sal nou

ook ons sonneblomkind in ons harte bly

en in di van almal wat haar geken het.

S sal Louise

in harte van

almal bly


A well-known photographer from Durban-

villewith a heart for charity is hosting a free

photo shoot event this Sunday (29 May) at

Altydgedacht in aid of the Daniel and

Friends Fund and the YardenChildrens En-

richment Centre.

While the fund supports special needs

children and their parents, Yarden offers

daycare to these children.

In his endeavours as a photographer,

Neels has seen all sides of life: the good, the

bad and the ugly.

Its when he takes photographs of chil-

dren, especially those who are sick, have

been neglected or have special needs that he

counts his blessings.

I believe in order to succeed in life, you

should also give back. Thats the reasonwhy

I started my #GivingBack campaigns, says

Neels Kleynhans of NK Photography.

Toqualify for a free photo shoot onSunday

between 09:30 and 13:30, bring along one of

the following: a pack of Huggies nappies

(size 3 to 5); Pampers (size 3 to 6); Molicare

(small and medium) or Pediasure vanilla or

chocolate milk.

In exchange, Neels will give you three

high resolution images.

You can bring your family, your best

friends, your lover or your pets as long as

you come and support this worthy cause,

says Neels.

LEWENSKIEKIE

Nou kan ek s

ek voel dit

saammet jou

Moenie die vuur sien en daarin loop nie.

So het my ma altyd haar kinders

vermaan. Let op die waarskuwingstekens

voordat jy iets aanpak.

As koerantmens moet ons gedurig

waarsku: Moenie oor daardie brug stap

nie. Wees versigtig as jy by daardie

kruising stilhou.

Weens n sameloop van omstandighede

moes ek vandeesweek oor n brug stap

waaroor ek en my kollegas al verskeie

kere berigte geskryf het. Op di brug

word mense op n daaglikse basis beroof

deur skurke wat daar rondhang.

Gedagtig aan al die waarskuwingstories

wat ons al gedoen het, sit ek my selfoon

in my rugsak en my beursie in my

gatsak.

Minute later is ek sonder my geld,

selfoon, trouring en die werk se kamera

nadat twee jongens my beroof het.

Het ek my ma se vuur-waarskuwing

verontagsaam? Het ek my verhewe

gehou bo die mense

wat elke dag

sonder keuse oor

di brug mt stap?

Of was dit n

geval van dit

gebeur net met

ander mense?

Ek het een keer

di aanhaling

gehoor: Dit sal

vermetel van jou

wees om oor die

lewe te skryf as jy

nog self nie gelewe

het nie.

N wat met my

gebeur het, dink ek aan baie voorvalle

waar ek as joernalis die vermetelheid

gehad het om van kunsmatige ho torings

af voorvalle te beskryf. Dis nie te s ons

moet almal slagoffers van misdaad wees

om met gesag daaroor te kan skryf nie,

maar perspektief maak ander wrelde

oop.

Wanneer ek in die toekoms gaan skryf

oor mense wat slagoffers van misdaad

was, hoop ek die empatie kan deurkom in

my verslaggewing daardie gevoel van

magteloosheid, weerloosheid en vrees

wanneer wildvreemde mense beslag l op

jou eiendom.

Het ek die vuur gesien en daar inge-

loop? Ja. Moes ek, by nabetragting,

eerder n ander roete gekies het? Jip.

Is my gevoel van veiligheid onder my

voete uitgeruk deur skermunkels wat net

op soek is na hul volgende fix?

In hierdie stadium sien ek almal as

verdagtes.

Maar ek hoop hierdie ervaring sal my

in die toekoms help om te kan s: Ek

voel dit saam met jou, want ek ken daai

gevoel. Brenden Ruiter

I read the article Laat ge-

stremdes se parkeerplekke

oop, TB, 18 May, with great

interest, and agree wholeheart-

edly that the fraudulent use of

disabled parking bays must be

punished and the drivers fined

heavily.

I am a healthy, able-bodied

59-year-old. My husband and I

moved to Durbanville about a

year ago, with my 87-year-old

mother who suffers from

severe osteoporosis, and can

only walk if she wears a back

brace, uses her walking stick

and uses a shop basket trolley

for support.

She does not need to go out

often, as we provide all her

needs, but every now and then,

its just nice to see the world

outside her room, and this is

never for long, as she tires

quickly.

On recommendation of our

doctor, we applied for a

disabled parking disc when we

still lived on the Atlantic

Seaboard, and were granted it

twice. Her last licence expired

in March of this year, and we

have stopped using it, for fear

of getting a fine. A new

application was made at the

Durbanville Traffic Depart-

ment. We complied with all

requested documents, but our

application was denied. The

reason given that old age is

not a disability, and, since the

doctor stated that she can get

in and out of the car unaided,

was reason enough not to

grant this disc.

I was shocked and disap-

pointed. My mother gave up

driving her own car some five

years ago, due to failing

eyesight and troubles with her

back: she battles to reverse

park and very sensibly feels

that she should no longer

drive. Thanks to the Traffic

Department, she will now see

even less of our new and

beautiful surroundings. We are

all so very happy on this side

of the boerewors-gordyn but

this left us all bitterly disap-

Old age is not a

disability, but ...

I wonder if someone may be

able to help me.

I am looking for descendents

of a William Henry Anderson

who died in England.

He was born 21 December

1929 and lived with his wife and

two sons in Parow in the 1950s

and 60s.

His estate does not mention

the names of his wife or sons,

so we suspect there could have

been a divorce. We dont know

if the family moved back to the

UK with him or whether they

remained in Parow.

If anyone knows of any

member of the family please

phone me on 041 581 4031.

Recently the Voortrekker Road

Corridor Improvement District

(VRCID) advertised a vacant

post in TygerBurger. Via this

letter I would like to give some

sound advice to potential job

seekers on how to apply for a

job and make an impression on

the potential employer.

First of all, read the require-

ment of the post. For example,

if it says that you must not

submit more than five pages, do

not submit six pages. By doing

this it means you are not

following the set requirements.

Secondly, do not attach

certificates, copy of ID or any

other documentation if the

advert clearly says you should

not. Thirdly, if you are asked to

send a motivation letter as to

why you should be considered,

do research on the employer

and the specific needs they are

advertising. Do not send out a

1. I agree 101%. Parking bays

should be for moms, dads,

grannies, grandads, tots and

disabled.

2. A separate baby changing

room in the mens section

after all, it takes two to make

them, so there should be two

rearing them.

3. It is a pity that the design-

ers/architects of these infra-

structures have no common

sense only degrees.

4. The security guard to be

trained in customer care to

think out of the box.

5. Paternity leave should be

granted for +- three months or

until the baby is sleeping

through the night.

6. Keep up the excellent

parenting until you no longer

can as they will never leave

your side, especially being such

a role model.

7. Drew Barrymore, ETs

famous little actress, always

maintains that travel is the

best form of education. How

right she is, even if it is only to

the local shopping centre.

ellville director Uga Carlini will be in

the spotlight next week when she pre-

miers her new film Alison the Movie at

the Encounters International Film Festival.

Basedon thebook I have life:Alisons Jour-

neyas told toMarianneThamm, the film tells

the true-life story of Alison Botha who was

raped, stabbed and disembowelled, but sur-

vived to rebuild her life as an inspirational

speaker.

The movie is also Ugas debut hybrid fea-

ture film/documentary which sees her tell-

ing Alisons story using a mixture of fairy

tale idiom and unflinching frankness and

putting real-life heroes from that night

alongside actors like another Bellville local,

Christia Visser who plays a young Alison,

Zak Hendrikz, De Klerk Oelofse and Fran-

cois Maree.

Uga, from Towerkop Creations, specialis-

es in female driven heroine stories so there

could be no higher honour for her than to

make her debut feature film about one of

South Africas most loved heroines.

This is the first time Alison has ever al-

lowed cameras into her home, and Uga not

only tells the story of her brutal experience,

but also shows the audience what she has

done and become since.

With this in mind, Penguin, the publish-

ers behind the top selling I have Life, have

partnered with the film team to release a

film tie-in edition of the book with a new

chapter that also looks at Alisons life since

the books first publication in 1998.

Alison has already been dubbed a story

of monsters, miracles and hope. While the

movie will enjoy its cinema release in Au-

gust, it will be screened for the first time at

the Encounters International Documentary

Film Festival which takes place at the V&A

Waterfronts CinemaNoveau and The Labia

Theatre fromThursday 2 to Sunday 12 June.

Uga, Alison and actress Christia will

launch the new edition of I have life at Cine-

ma Noveau from 18:45 on Friday 3 June be-

fore hosting a Q&A session where theyll be

joined byMarianne Thamm at The Labia on

Tuesday 7 June from 20:30.

V Visit www.encounters.co.za for more information

about the film festival. Tickets are available from

www.webticket.co.za or on 0861 MOVIES (0861 668

ie Kuilsrivier-polisie ondersoek tans

altesaam 20 klagte van bedrog wat by

die polisiekantoor aangemeld is se-

dert Januarie vanjaar.

Die sakehouglo verbandmet aanlyn-ver-

kope waarin die misdadigers verskeie

soort items op fGumtree fOLXadverteer

en aan mense verkoop. n Transaksie word

aangegaan en betaling gemaak, maar die

item self bereik nooit die koper nie.

Kapt. Isaac van Niekerk, polisiewoord-

voerder, s in al 20 sake word die slagoffers

op verskillende maniere ingeloop.

In een van die gevalle is daar honde, kat-

te, beeste en skape wat as te koop geadver-

teer word. Die kopers het vir die diere be-

taal, maar het nooit die diere ontvang nie.

Die klaers kontak gewoonlik die verko-

per om meer uit te vind oor die diere wat

hulle adverteer. Die verkoper s dan daar

is ander wat ook in die dier belangstel en

dat die eerste persoon wat n aanbodmaak,

die dier sal kry. Die verkopers voorsien

hulle dan van n bankrekeningnommer

waarin hulle die geld moet inbetaal. Daar

word belowe dat die dier dan per vliegtuig

na die koper gekoerier sal word, maar dit

gebeur nie, verduidelik Van Niekerk.

n Bedrag geld word ook gevra vir verse-

kering. n Veearts wat glo na die dier om-

sien, kontak glo ook die koper en s die hou-

er waarin die dier vervoer word is nie ge-

skik nie en dat die koper n nuwe houer

moet koop, s die polisie. n Nuwe bankre-

keningnommerwordaandie koper gestuur

en nog geld word dan inbetaal. N n paar

dae sal die koper dan besef hy of sy is inge-

loop, s Van Niekerk. Hy s tot dusver is

daar n reeks sulke gevalle in die Kuilsri-

vier-polisie-gebied aangemeld.

Die betrokkemisdadigers sit egter inJo-

hannesburg, vertel hy. Hy s die bankre-

kening wat geskep word en waarin slagof-

fers geld inbetaal, word geopen, maar weer

gesluit sodra betaling ontvang is. Vals do-

kumente word gebruik om die rekeninge te

skep en inmeeste gevalleword dit by banke

in Johannesburg geopen.

Verskeie soortgelyke aanlyn-transaksies

kom voor waarin ander items, goedere of

produkte verkoop word.

VanNiekerk s somswordmotors ook op

di wyse aan mense verkoop, maar bereik

die produk nooit die koper nie.

Die voertuie is in meeste gevalle in Gau-

teng en moet Kaapstad toe vervoer word.

Daar word dan ook ges dat ander in die

motor belangstel, s hy.

SUZANNE OPPERMANKEMP

ier in die Kaap raak die winter maar

lekker koud en ry mense veel eerder

met Jan Tuisbly se karretjie as om

uit te gaan. Wie kan hulle nou blameer? Met

die ren op die ruite en sneeu op die bergtop-

pe, is dit tog te aanloklik om tuis onder n

kombers te hiberneer met n boek in die een

hand en n koppie koffie in die ander.

Vir die avontuurlustiges onder ons, is sul-

keknusbinnemuursevermaaklikhede egter

n resep vir verveeldheid. Gelukkig sluit die

natuur nie haar deure vir die winter nie en

hoef die koue jou nie binne te hou nie. Daar

is oorgenoeg redeswaaromkamp in diewin-

ter n fantastiese ervaring kan wees.

1. Soete stilte

Absolute stilte is een van die skaarsste kom-

moditeite in ons gejaagde lewens. Dis nou

nie die tipe stilte wat jy kry as die televisie

af is, die kinders by die skool is en net die

yskas in die agtergrond dreun nie. Die stilte

wat kampeerders in die winter ervaar, oor-

tref enige ander ervaring daarvan: n dood-

se, amper verslawende swye wat nie eers

deur zoemendebyeof ritselendeblare bederf

word nie. Die aarde slaap, en jy word genooi

om saam te kom rus.

2. Kampvuur-kuiers

Ja, jy kan in die somer ook saans n vuurtjie

aansteek, maar dis darem maar ekstra lek-

ker in die winter as almal nader aan die

vlamme skuif om van die lug se koue byt te

ontsnap. In die winter is die vuur nie net vir

vleisbraai nie; dit is vir stories vertel, gesels,

musiek maak en onbreekbare bande smee.

En totdat die laaste kameraad ingekruiphet,

word daar maar nog n houtjie vir die vlam-

me gevoer.

3. Geen geroesemoes

In die somer staan die kampterreine vol, en

dit is moeilik om werklik die buitelewe te

geniet. In die winter, wanneer die koue

meeste mense binnetoe jaag, kan jy ordent-

lik wegbreek en in rus en vrede saam met

jou hartsmense en Moeder Natuur kuier.

4. Minder goggas

Maak nie saak hoe mooi die uitsig van jou

tent af is nie, as jy sleg geslaap het van n

gedurige geneul in jou ore en vol jeukende

bytmerke wakker word, lyk die veld altyd

minder vrolik. In diewinter kan jy veelmin-

dermuskiete, spinnekoppe en andermeerle-

dige kuiergaste op die kampterrein verwag.

Los dus maar die insekdoder tuis, lees jou

onopgerolde koerant in vrede en slaap lek-

ker.

5. Kyk net daai sterre!

Minder mede-kampeerders beteken minder

lig rondom jou. En hoe donkerder dit rond-

om jou tent is, hoe meer sterre sal in die

hemelruim verskyn. Sit n mus op, dra jou

slaapsak buitentoe en verkyk jou aan die

melkweg in magiese stilte.

6. n Goeie verskoning om topgehalte

toerusting te koop

Laat ons nou maar eerlik wees, kamp in die

winter is nie noodwendig vir sissies nie.

Nou is jou kans om al die peperduur, gespe-

sialiseerdekampgereedskapbydie buitelug-

winkel te koop: die slaapsak wat vir kamp

in die Himalajas gemaak is, baadjies wat jou

iewinterkan nbaie spesiale tydwees

om die buitelug in te vaar. Kampeer-

terreine is stiller en rustiger, en die

omgewing is dikwelsmooier as in die somer.

Hou egter in gedagte dat die koue seisoen

niemand se speelmaat is nie en dat jy hierdie

tyd van die jaar ekstra versigtig moet wees

as jy uitspan. Hier is n paar wenke vanaf

Popular Mechanics en Clymb-tydskrif vir n

veilige, genotvolle winterkampervaring.

Trek lae aan

Jy wil warm aangetrek wees wanneer jy on-

aktief is, maar terwyl jy bergklim of stap,

skep jou liggaam genoeg hitte. Trek dus lae

aan. Begin met termiese polisteronderkle-

re as jou basislaag. Trek n vliestop wat lek-

ker asemhaal bo-oor aan sodat jy warm bly

sonder om te veel te sweet. Laastens, het jy

n lekker dik water- en windbestande baad-

jie nodig vir ekstra koue weer. Omdat jy

vuur gaan maak om warm te bly en kos te

kook,moet jy ook sekermaak dat jou buiten-

ste laag klere vuurbestand is. Voeg n serp

by vir ekstra hitte.

Kyk kop tot toon na jouself

Moenie van jou kop en voete vergeet nie.

Trek n wol- of vliesmus oor jou ore. Los

maar eers jou katoensokkies by die huis en

pak wol- of polistersokkies wat spesiaal vir

stap ontwerp is. Enmaak seker jou stapskoe-

ne is waterdig.

Sorg ekstra mooi vir jou hande

Hou jou vingers warm deur twee lae hand-

skoene te dra: een paar polister voering-

handskoene met n dikker paar bo-oor. Hou

ook altyd n ekstra paar handskoene byder-

hand ingeval jy iewers een verloor.

Kry die vuur aan die gang

Om warm te bly moet jou eerste prioriteit

wees as die son begin sak. Steek dus die vuur

aan voordat jy enigiets anders doen om jou

kamp op te stel.

Kies die regte kampterrein

Soek n kampplek waar jy lekker oggendson

kan kry. Bepaal waar die eerste strale met

sonsopkoms gaan val en draai jou tent in

daardie rigting om ten volle voordeel daar-

uit te trek. Onthou net ook om jou tent teen

die wind beskut te hou.

Water, water en nog water

Jy gaan dalk nie so dors soos in die somer

wees nie, maar dit is net so belangrik om in

die winter gehidreer te bly. Vir ekstra ener-

gie tydens jou buitelugavonture, kan jy n

flessie warmsjokolade in jou rugsak sit.

Wees voorbereid op kondensasie

Sooswat jy saans in jouwarm tent asemhaal

terwyl dit koud is buite, sal kondensasie aan

die binnekant van die tent vorm. In die og-

gend sal hierdie kondensasie op jou neer-

dou. Om die kondensasie te verminder, kan

jy jou tent saans ventileer deur die tentflap

effens oop te laat. Jy kan ook n kerslantern

iewers veilig in jou tent hang. Laasgenoem-

de sal nie net kondensasie verminder nie,

maar ook ekstra hitte voorsien.

Gaan slaap in jou klere

Moenie vir jouself moeite maak deur al jou

lae klere uit te trek om pajamas aan te trek

voordat jy gaan slaap nie. Klim nt so vuil

stapsokkies en al in die bed en bly lekker

warm.
