MAN BESWYK N AANVAL: POLISIEONDERSOEKBEAMPTE SE HARDE WERK BELOON

Moordenaar sit 30 jaar

BRENDEN RUITER

@ruitervaniewind

D

ie harde werk deur n ondersoekbe-

ampte van die Goodwood-polisie het

daartoe gelei dat n moordenaar vir 30

jaar effektief tronk toe gestuur is.

Die 31-jarige moordenaar vanManenburg

is verlede week in die Parow-streekshof tot

20 jaar vir moord en 20 jaar vir huisroof,

waarvan10 jaar opgeskort is, gevonnisnhy

in 2013 n bejaarde egpaar in hul huis oorval

en aangerand het. Die 80-jarige man het in

die hospitaal aan sy wonde beswyk, maar sy

79-jarige vrou het wonderbaarlik herstel.

Volgens lt. Wayne Theunis, polisiewoord-

voerder, het die moordenaar op Goeie Vry-

dag 2013 by die huis van die egpaar inge-

breek en hulle aangeval toe hulle hom ge-

waar.

Sekerheidswagte en die polisie het gerea-

geer n die bure n geraas en die geskreeu

van n vrou gehoor het. Die slagoffers was

so ernstig beseer dat hulle na die naaste hos-

pitaal geneemmoes word, waar die man on-

gelukkig gesterf het. Die verdagte het toe

weggekom, s Theunis.

Die dossier is vir ondersoek aan ao. Ri-

chard Botto oorhandig.

Op 4 Julie 2013 het Botto, deur baie harde

en noukeurige speurwerk, die verdagte in

Manenburg opgespoor. Hy kon hom deur

middel van vingerafdrukkemet diemisdaad

verbind. Botto het borgtog suksesvol teenge-

staan en die oorledene se vrou was n haar

herstel n sterk getuie, s Theunis.

Hy s Botto is n man wat sy werk deeglik

en sonder fieterjasies doen. Hy is gedissi-

plineerd enhardwerkend endi saak isweer

eens n bewys van watter soort speurder hy

is. As leiersfiguur by die speurtak is hy n

inspirasie vir die jonger lede. Kol. Hansia

Hansraj, die stasiebevelvoerder, was vol lof

vir die werk wat Botto gedoen het om n ge-

vaarlike misdadiger, iemand wat weerlose

bejaardes aanval, van die strate af te kry,

s Theunis.

VERVOLG VAN BLADSY 1

Botto s hy het onverpoos aan die saak ge-

werk oor die manier waarop die bejaarde

mense aangeval is. Hy het hulle soos n be-

setene met die kaal vuis aangerand en dit

het my aan die hart geraak. Hoe kan jy be-

jaardes so slaan? vra Botto.

Hy het aan die werk gespring en die kor-

dinate van die selfoon nagespeur. Dit het

my na die hoek van n straat in Manenberg

geneem. Ons het toe besluit om elke huis in

daardie straat te deursoek, maar n so tien

huise het ons besluit om op te hou.

Manenberg is n gevaarlike gebied en die

mense het onrustig begin raak met die poli-

sie wat so in die straat snuffel.

Ekhet toe besluit omdie vingerafdrukke

na te gaan en dit lei my toe na iemand wat

net n paar huise verder aan woon.

Toe ons die verdagte vastrek het, hy mal

gespeel. By die Valkenburg-hospitaal het

hulle bepaal dat hy wel bevoeg is om ver-

hoor te word. Ek is regtig verheug ons kon

di saak n so n lank tyd deurtrek, s n

tevrede Botto.

BRENDEN RUITER

@ruitervaniewind

D

ie hooggeregshof het in die guns be-

slis van n crche-eienaar, wat veg

om haar skool se deure oop te hou.

Ria Theron het die Stad Kaapstad voor

die hof gedaag, omdat hulle haar bedryfs-

lisensie afgekeur het. Sy het gevra dat die

hof die proses wat gevolg is omhaar lisen-

sie af te keur, ongeldig verklaar.

Afgekeur

Die lisensie is afgekeur n verskeie

mense glo gekla het oor die crche in die

straat. TygerBurger het onlangs berig

(Tweespalt oor skool, 17 Februarie) oor

beweringe wat Theron maak dat daar glo

saamgesweer is om seker te maak haar

skool kry nie n bedryfslisensie nie.

Theron se buurman, Randall Casswell,

was een van die mense wat gekla het oor

die skool. Hy het vroer aan TygerBurger

ges hy probeer net sy belegging, sy eie

huis, beskerm.

Voor dit (die crche) was die huis n

pastorie. Toe ek besluit het om die huis te

koop, het ek sekere kriteria gehad waar-

aan dit moes voldoen, sodat ek my beleg-

ging kon beskerm. Een daarvan was dat

die huis nie naby n skool of winkelsen-

trum moes wees nie. My huis se waarde

het onmiddellik geval toe die kleuterskool

oopmaak. Kan dit reg wees? het Caswell

voorheen aan TygerBurger ges.

Hy het oor Maandag se beslissing ges

hy kan nie kommentaar lewer voor hy nie

die uitslag bestudeer het nie. Dit is die

eerste keer dat ek hoor daar was n beslis-

sing. As ek nou iets s, sal dit oningeligte

kommentaar wees en ek wil my eers van

die feite vergewis. Ek is seker as die regte

prosedure gevolg word, sal die crche

moet toemaak en die hofsaak was maar

net een proses, s Casswell.

Applkomitee

Die hof het Theron gelyk gegee en be-

veel dat n nuwe applkomitee binne ses

weke haar saak moet aanhoor. Sy was in

ekstase oor die uitslag.

Ek vertrou dat die volle waarheid sal

uitkom ten opsigte van al die ongerymd-

hede wat teen my gepleeg is. Dit het ook

aan die lig gekom dat nie baie mense by

die Stad gekla het nie, maar wel net een

egpaar, die Casswells, s Theron.

Hof beslis in crche se guns

MICHELLE LINNERT

@linnertmb

A

proposal to see vagrants across the

broader Tygerberg area concentrated

into one safe haven, will come into

fruition before the onset of winter.

So says local ward councillor Ruan Ben-

eke, who is at the helm of a project called

Safe Spaces, with which he and local social

development partners hope to bring digni-

fied relief to the often unwelcome vagrants

of the northern suburbs.

Having the constitutional right to roam

freely, vagrants are often at the receiving

end from their roofed neighbours, be-

cause of criminals lurking in their midst

and causing havoc in their surrounds.

As if to emphasise the need for such an

alternative for street people, a group of at

least 72 vagrants were evicted from their

temporary safe sleeping space in front of the

Bellville police station last Saturday on the

orders of a visiting police general. This

cameafter theywere given the right to sleep

there by the local police commander.

Projects coordinated

The Safe Spaces idea was first introduced

in December of 2014.

A Joint Operations Committee (JOC)

comprised of role players to deal with the

street people issue, has since been estab-

lished and mandated to coordinate all joint

efforts regarding street people in the north-

ern suburbs especially Bellville and Par-

ow, but also Goodwood, Durbanville, Ken-

ridge and surrounding areas.

Beneke and the social development arm

of the local city improvement district of

Bellville and Parow, the VRCID, as well as

a local Bellville charitable organisation, the

Metro Evangelical Services (MES), are

steering the Safe Spaces project. MES offi-

cially applied to create Safe Spaces in July

2015.

But getting the Safe Spaces proposal be-

fore subcouncil has been riddled with de-

lays, including a hold-up with advertising,

followedbya rezoning issue, thenaproblem

with the fact that the proposal was not ta-

bled in three official languages.

Beneke is adamant though that all these

problemswould be ironed out by the winter

of 2016. It is important to note that the first

application for a safe space was made by

MES for AJ West Street in July 2015.

The Tygerberg Property Management

office which serves the areas of subcoun-

cils 1, 3, 4, 6 and 7 and portions of subcoun-

cils 2, 5 and 15 went through very trying

times, he said. Not only did they lose their

departmental head, but staff numbers were

also affected by retirements, resignations

and maternity leave. The newly appointed

applicant then also withdrew at a very late

stage and the process had to be started all

over.

Beneke added the report to be presented

to subcouncil has been drafted and will

serve on the agenda of 14 March.

This leaves us three and a half months

of the financial year to do some upgrades

to the building (proposed to be at the old

Scouts building in AJ West Street, behind

Bellville Library). We should have the

building operating well before the coldest

winter months.

The Citys Mayco member for social de-

velopment and early childhood develop-

ment, Suzette Little, said they would sup-

port an initiative like this.

The City works very closely with non-

profit organisations that provide the same

basket of services outlined in our mandate,

including interventions for street people.

We would thus be more than willing to en-

gage the organisation on its objectives and

see how we can create partnerships that

will benefit street people in this area once

the centre is up and running, she told Tyg-

erBurger.

Bellville police also strongly support this

initiative.

This would definitely bring some sort of

relief concerning the street people issue.

The sooner the building is operational, the

better, saidMajor FienieNimb, spokesper-

son of this police station.

Insufficient space addressed

In their draft report, the JOC touted the

proposed safe space as a spacewhere digni-

ty is restored, positive values are nurtured,

human potential is developed and hope is

possible ...

In practical terms, the space will mean

that the insufficient space available at night

shelters and street peoples ability to pay for

these services will be addressed.

There are more or less 500 street people

in theVRCIDarea and evenmore in the sur-

rounding northern suburbs. Bellville Night

Shelter can accommodate 54 people and

Elim Night Shelter can accommodate 70,

according to a statement issued by the JOC.

Another challenge to be tackled is the

lack of safe ablution services for the chron-

ic homeless person who is not interested in

a shelter accommodation, but who needs

protection from the criminal elements, as

well as daytime job seekers.

Visitors will also be given an opportunity

to integrate into MESs God Restores Our

World (GROW) work rehabilitation pro-

gramme and other initiatives.

The proposed solution and motivation

for MES to create safe spaces within the

boundaries of the Northern suburbs, where

street people can sleep safe, is that they

have access to ablution facilities and social

relief and enter the development cycle.

It will also mean a safe haven where day-

time street people can participate in work-

shops and other activities.

Learners restore

pride, deter crime

ASTRID FEBRUARIE

@febastrid

M

ore than 100 learners from Good-

woodCollege inRuyterwacht armed

with paint brushes, dirt bags and

gloves took toElsiesRiver canal inRiverton

Estate to get rid of the grime in an effort to

deter crime.

The learners in partnership with Opera-

tion Restore Pride and the City of Cape

Town engaged in a transformation of the ca-

nal fromChelsea to PaulKruger avenues on

Friday 19 February.

Operation Restore Pride was established

by the Riverton Estate Residents Associa-

tion (Rera) in an effort to uplift, unite and

secure the community.

Thanks to various community projects

andpartneringwith other community orga-

nisation, schools and the City they have

transformed their community.

Several City departments supported the

initiative which included safety and securi-

ty, City Parks and environmental resource

management which supplied the paint,

paint brushes, dirt bags and gloves.

SteveRoss, chairpersonofRera, says they

are proud to partner with a school that has

vision and passion to take ownership of its

surroundings.

We applaud the principal of the school,

as well as her staff who came out with their

learners to make a visible difference in the

neighbourhood, he says.

After encouraging speeches by ward

councillor Clive Justus and the principal

the learners were enthusiastic and full of

energy as they covered more than 500m on

either side of the canal in less than an hour.

The learners wasted no time in cleaning

up the banks of the canal and painting its

concrete edges. It was important for us to

get the learners involved so they too could

realise the impact they canhave on the com-

munity and environmentwhen taking own-

ership of their surroundings, Ross says.

Ross says they took on the work as crimi-

nal activity along the canal and bridge is of

great concern to residents as many people

cross the bridge to get to the station and

many robberies have been reported there.

Painting the bridge white will make pe-

destrians crossing the bridge more visible

and creates a sense of safety.

Clean surroundings deter criminal ac-

tivity. We often have cleaning projects

where the community is involved. The ca-

nal is a hotspot for dumping and robberies

and therefore we wanted to beautify the

space. Where there is community involve-

ment there is less crime, Ross believes.

Learners from Goodwood College in Ruyterwacht ready to get to work on the Elsies River Canal

with paint and paint brushes in hand.

The learners

took on the

task of

painting the

bridge and the

concrete blocks

along the

canal. They

also picked up

litter and

covered an

area of up to

500m on

either side of

the canal.

D

ie polisie in Goodwoodwil motorhan-

delaars waarsku teen n nuwe modus

operandiwatmotordiewe gebruik om

motors by handelaars te steel.

Volgens lt. Wayne Theunis, polisie-

woordvoerder, nader twee verdagtes die

motorhandelaars om glo n motor te koop.

Volgens ons inligting besoek n verdag-

te, in sy sestigs, die handelaar met die oog

om n voertuig te koop. Tydens die onder-

handelinge sal die verdagte die kattebak

meet om kamstig te kyk of sy gholfstokke

daarin pas. Hierna vra die verdagte of hy

die motor kan toetsbestuur.

n Tweede verdagte kom dan op daardie

oomblik en vra die verkoopsman vir baie

belangrike dokumente en wanneer die ver-

koopsman kantoor toe gaan, klim die twee

in die motor en jaag weg, s Theunis. Vol-

gens hom het die motordiewe al by twee

handelaars in Goodwood, een in Kraaifon-

tein en een in Tableview toegeslaan.

Die ouens raak elke dag slimmer en sal

enigiets probeer om hul hande op motors

tekry.Handelaarsmoetnie sohardprobeer

ommotors van die hand te sit dat hulle ver-

geet omdie kopers ordentlik dop te hou nie.

Motordiewe lyk nie noodwendig soos n

gewone straatboef nie en is baie gesofisti-

keerd. Ons wil n beroep doen op hande-

laars om nie vir een oomblik die sleutels

van die motor aan n moontlike klint te

oorhandig sonder om toesig te hou nie.

Moet ook nie jou aandag laat aflei deur

enigiemand anders nie, want die ouens ver-

dwyn binne sekondes, s Theunis.

V Mense met inligting oor die verdagtes kan die

speurders by die Goodwoodpolisie by 021 597 1760

bel.

DESIRE RORKE

O

n Monday morning seven robust cy-

clists took to the road in Brackenfell

to end in Oudtshoorn next week after

a gruelling 470km journey.

Joining the cyclists from the Mountain

View Cycling Club from Goodwood Correc-

tional Services is Jody Adams, a youngman

with Down Syndrome.

Their mission: to raise money for the

cause and celebrate 40 years of awareness of

this condition in the Western Cape.

TheDownSyndromeAssociationWestern

Cape (DSAWC) was formed in 1976 to pro-

vide support and services to people with

Down Syndrome (DS) and other similar in-

tellectual disabilities, and their families.

Our programmes are aimed at improving

their quality of life in order to help them find

their purpose in life. We want people with

DS to develop to their full potential to take

their rightful place in society as independ-

ent and valued citizens, says organisation

spokesperson Liza Rossouw.

For the past 16 years DSAWC has been the

beneficiary of the money raised by the

Mountain View Cycling Club on their annu-

al cycle tour to Oudtshoorn.

The group of 10, which includes support

staff, will stop at various towns along the

route to create awareness for DS. An aspir-

ing singer inhis own right, Jodywill be sing-

ing at some of the schools they visit.

This year is a very special year for

DSAWCaswe are celebrating our 40th birth-

day. The cycle tour will be the first of many

events during the year.Wewant to thank all

the schools, businesses and individuals who

have participated over the past 16 years. .

Rossouw invites the public to participate

and join in the 40-year celebrations through-

out this year.

A small financial contributionhas ahuge

impact on our work.

C

ity of Cape Town mayor, Patricia de

Lille, wanted more than birthday

wishes last week when she visited the

Stodels Garden Centre in Kenilworth she

demanded water wisdom.

There was a buzz at the busy centre last

Wednesday when she arrived and custom-

ers welcomed her by singing happy birth-

day with gusto, but there was a serious

side to her visit.

The visit in Kenilworth was to promote

waterwise gardening, an initiative by the

City that will see water saving ambassa-

dors employed in all garden centres

around theWestern Cape to help customers

learn to save water and reduce their water

bills.

With dams currently at 42%, environ-

mental awareness is at the top of the may-

ors agenda in terms of water saving after

the announcement of Level 2 water restric-

tions inDecember last yearwith a concomi-

tant 20% increase in the water price.

Time for water wise gardening

De Lille feels now is the time to kick-start

an action plan to save water, starting by

talking to gardeners about water wise gar-

dening. During this informal visit she chat-

ted to customers about water wise garden-

ing and promoted ways to save water not

just for theWestern Cape and South Africa,

but also for the planet.

This waterwise initiative is considered a

partnership between the City of Cape Town

and Stodels Nurseries.

Themayor also usedher visit to highlight

some important strategies.

It is vital thatwe start changing peoples

behaviour in terms of water usage and edu-

cating themabout globalwarming, the ram-

ifications of water shortages such as in-

creased food and water prices and the very

real possibility that if we dont reduce wa-

ter consumption, this resource could run

out.

People must be informed of the current

water restrictions, the reasons they have

been put in place and the importance of ad-

hering to them, she said.

Nick Stodel, MD of Stodels Nurseries,

was delighted the mayor chose Stodels as

the venue for this drive about water saving

and waterwise gardening, which is also

high on his agenda.

Restrictions set to continue

As part of this water saving programme

the Expanded Public Works Programme

(EPWP) at the City is utilising unemployed

citizens to act as water saving ambassadors

within various garden centres in the West-

ern Cape.

The EPWP has a large database of unem-

ployedpeople andany subcouncil can enlist

them to carry out short term work.

Stodels Nurseries has been running a

campaign since the beginning of February

to educate gardeners about waterwise gar-

dening including the use of waterwise

plants, water saving granules, mulching to

stop evaporation, adapting gardens to the

existing water restrictions and generally

offering tips about saving water and main-

taining a beautiful garden.

The water restrictions are set to contin-

ue and it is up to each of us to contribute

to a reduction in consumption not only to

save onwater bills, but to save this precious

resource and our planet, said De Lille.

Dear Talitha, with reference to

your letter in TygerBurger

(Another bone to pick with

parlour, 17 February) as

regards to the infection that

you imply your dog contracted

at Loving Care, I have the

following to share:

Impetigo is a skin disease of

dogs characterised by non-fol-

licular bacterial micro abcessa-

tion, usually caused by staphy-

lococcus pseudintermedius.

The dog is a natural host

and not the parlour!

The staphylococcus pseudin-

termedius will naturally reside

on canine skin.

Wishing you best of luck

with your Yorkie Bob. Kindest

regards,

THE LOVING CARE TEAM

With reference to the commen-

tary in the TygerBurger of 17

February, Wag nog vir ek is

jammer, in which a caustic

blast of acrimonious blamewor-

thiness was levelled at the

owner and staff of the Loving

Care Doggy Parlour for gross

negligence in the care of the pet

entrusted to them by the writer:

I feel most strongly that the

entire matter demands a

counter balance of sentiment, in

which a greater perspective is

imparted to what actually

happened.

My reason for this insistence

is based on 10 years of utilisa-

tion of the services of the

Loving Care Doggy Parlour

during which time I have never

entertained a wisp of suspicion

of any abuse inflicted on my pet

during her visit.

Precisely, to the contrary, I

have detected an unmistakable

tendency in my pet, of an

obvious joy at seeing the owner,

Barbara Rees, and her staff

when she is entrusted to them

for grooming.

On 19 January between 8:00 and

8:30, my son was travelling

from Bellville to Durbanville.

He must have dropped his

wallet in the taxi.

Mavis Billy noticed it on the

seat and decided not to give it

to the taxi driver or the sliding

door operator, saying she didnt

know in whose hands it may

end up.

His ID book, two bank cards

and motorbike licence together

with some cash (not a lot) were

in his wallet.

1950s n kraaminrigting met die

omgewing dit was, weet ons

nie. Ek (1949) en my neef,

Maak jou hart

kalm oor jou

skoonouers

D

aar is n sekere groep mense wat

diegene wat aan hul genade oorgele-

wer is, telkens reg bo-op die sny-

kant van die swaard laat, sonder dat jy

daar wil afklim. Di spesie het n naam;

hulle heet skoonmense.

Dis nie die oorneem van ouerlike pligte

in die teenwoordigheid van genoemde

ouer/s as dit by hul kleinkinders kom,

wat n mens moedeloos laat nie. Dis ook

nie die inmenging in besluite (wat hulle

eintlik op gn manier benvloed nie) wat

jou wrokkig laat nie.

Ja, jy kn seker vir skoonma vergewe

dat sy die heeldag suur gelyk het op jul

troudag; jy s die beter mens, oortuig jy

jouself.

Jys die een wat n werkbare, blywende

oplossing soek wat almal sal pas, en

sonder enige leedgevoelens sal laat. (Ook

die kleinkinders j kinders wat glo

hulle kan met moord wegkom en jy kan

nks daaromtrent doen nie, want Ouma

en Oupa gaan jou

besluite in elk

geval veto.)

Maar as jy dit

ontken, maak dit

jou briesend kwaad

as jy oor jou

frustrasie wil

praat, en hulle

bloot stilbly en

eenkant toe kyk as

jy die onderwerp

probeer ophaal.

Dan, kort daarna,

kla jy oor nog n

skoonouer-voorval

teenoor n kollega.

Die gesprek raak n algemene een waar jy

en die kollega vir die ander kollegas sit

en wag om jul weeklikse vergadering

klaar te kry. Dan hoor di kollegas die

trant van die gesprek, en kort voor lank

begin jou perspektief spreukbeurt vir

spreukbeurt te verander...

Daar is n stel skoonouers wat leef,

hoor ons, wat hul kleinkind ses jaar laas

gesien het. Di kleinkind is agt jaar oud,

en sy ouma het sy hare n oomblik lank

deurmekaar gevryf by n begrafnis waar

sy hom toevallig raakgeloop het.

n Ander vertel van geld wat elke

maand aan een of ander skoonouerprojek

deurgestuur moet word. Die een wat

binnekort gaan trou, vertel hoe haar

toekomstige skoonma vir haar klere vir

n familietroue kom uitkies het, want sy

mag niks aantrek wat haar pragtige

tatoes sou afwys nie. Daar is ook die

skoonouer wat haar mishandelende seun

bygestaan het toe di haar skoondogter

verneuk het mt die skoondogter se

suster. En soos jy luister, dink jy: Bly

stil. Maak jou hart kalm. J skoonouers

T

here seems to be no satisfactory an-

swers when it comes to money simply

disappearing from the accounts of Sas-

sa beneficiaries.

Every week TygerBurger and our sister

publications receive numerous complaints

from the public about money that mysteri-

ously finds its way out of their accounts.

While the amounts that disappear might

not sound likemuch, they are certainly a big

chunk out of the budgets of the elderly and

other vulnerable people who receive these

grants.

In one of themost recent cases, R280 disap-

peared from the account of an elderly man

from Bellville. He and his wife are in their

70s. Hiswife phonedTygerBurger in a panic,

as this amount was part of their meagre

monthly grocery budget.

The woman complained that, not only

were they treated poorly by the staff at the

Sassa branch in Bellville, but they were also

questioned about the probability that the

money might have gone to airtime purchas-

es. The couple do not own cellphones.

My husband sat there from 08:00 that

morning until 15:00, but they could not give

him any answers. They treated him like a

pig as if he were uneducated and poverty-

stricken, she said.

The woman behind the counter asked

him if he had bought airtime. He said no, he

didnt own a cellphone. Then she wanted to

know if he had bought electricity, and he

said no. We do not buy electricity using our

Sassa cards.

Every month we draw our full pension

and put the money into a little bag. Then we

work from that bag as we needmoney. I can-

not believe people would steal from us like

this.

Bellville police confirmed fraud cases

were being opened against Sassa.

Yes, there is money disappearing from

Sassa accounts. Yesterday (last Thursday) we

opened three cases of fraud made by elderly

people, said Bellville police spokesperson

Major Fienie Nimb.

The allegation is that money had been tak-

en from their Sassa account that they had not

given permission for, such as for airtime,

she said.

Any person who has received confirma-

tion from Sassa that money had been taken

from their account, without their permission,

can open a case at their nearest police station

for investigation.

No control

Sassa Western Cape spokesperson Shivani

Wahab said they were aware of money being

taken via electronic fund transfers (EFTs),

but that they had no control over what hap-

pens to grants once deposited.

Contractor Cash Paymaster Services (CPS)

handles these deposits.

Once themoney is deposited into the card,

Sassa has no control over how the money is

utilised.

She said that the card system meant EFT

debits could take place, but that these could

technically only take place after the money

has left Sassas hands, and payment has al-

ready occurred.

The only deduction which can take place

before the social grant is paid, is a deduction

for funeral policy premiums, on request of the

beneficiary, in terms of Regulation 26A of the

Social Assistance Act, 2004, she said.

Sassa is aware of the numerousEFTdebits

which are taking place, and has instituted a

number of actions, together with the Depart-

ment of Social Development (DSD), she said.

This includes a task team to investigate

how to protect beneficiaries from being ex-

ploited.

Many of the EFT debits are in fact not ille-

gal if itwere so, itwouldbe relatively easy

to stop the activity. However, the actions

are certainly immoral andnot supported in

any way by either the DSD or Sassa, Wa-

hab said.

She added there was a dispute resolution

mechanism in place to deal with the proc-

esses Sassa staff can follow to help grantees

when unauthorised EFT debits occur.

All social grant beneficiaries are sus-

ceptible to ... marketing of financial prod-

ucts, not only the elderly.Wehave received

numerous complaints fromcaregiverswho

receive the child support grant who have

also experienced this challenge, she said.

Sassa is doing everything it can to en-

sure that any social grant beneficiary who

complains about EFT debits off their social

grant is promptly assisted.

She said beneficiaries should not make

any financial commitments by responding

to cellphone marketing that encourages

them to key in numbers, or to agree tele-

phonically for the purchase of products.

Beneficiaries should also avoid taking

loans or policies, especially where they do

not understand the terms of the repay-

ments, she said.

Call Sassa helpline

She added beneficiaries should not use

their Sassa card as security to loans, re-

spond to cellphone SMSes offering prod-

ucts such as airtime, electricity and other

financial products, or authorise any deduc-

tions except for the single legislative and

Sassa approved funeral policy that

shouldnt exceed 10% of the entire grant

value.

To see the money being eroded through

financial service providers whose purpose

is financial gain, is extremely concerning.

V Beneficiaries can call the Sassa helpline on

0800 60 10 11, and should not go directly to CPS

or Grindrod Bank.

Various roadworks to alleviate congestion around Century City have

been completed.

Upgrades

will improve

traffic flow

P

eak traffic flow at Century

City has improved with

the recent completion of

major infrastructure upgrades

including the widening of Sable

Road.

Infrastructure projects re-

cently completed at a cost of

aroundR22million by the devel-

oper of Century City, Rabie

Property Group, include the

creation of an additional left

turn only lane from Bosmans-

damRoad intoCenturyAvenue,

the creation of an additional

permanent left lane out of the

new Bridgeways precinct into

Sable Road, a queue jump lane

for the MyCiTi Bus on Sable

Road and a free flowing left

hand turn from the N1 Exit 10

off-ramp into Sable Road going

west towards Century City.

Chris Blackshaw, CEO of the

Century City Property Owners

Association (CCPOA), the non-

profit organisation responsible

for the day to day running of the

Century City precinct, said

these road upgrades have made

a significant difference particu-

larly to peak hour traffic on Ra-

tanga/Sable Road and morning

peak hour traffic on Bosmans-

dam Road.

It has also made a difference

to traffic flows under the steel

bridge as many motorists are

opting to exit Century City via

Sable Road even when they are

travelling in a northerly direc-

tion.

He said there were still areas

of concern, most notably the

Bosmansdam/Montague

Drive/Century Avenue inter-

section in the afternoon peak

traffic.

We understand this is due to

hardware issues with the sig-

nals and it is being addressed by

the engineers as a matter of ur-

gency.

The afternoon traffic conges-

tion is also due to the volume of

traffic exiting from Montague

Gardens. A wider macro Traffic

Impact Assessment (TIA) has

indicated the need for a new in-

terchange off the N7 at Link

Road, which will provide a sec-

ond access/egress point for

Montague Gardens and will sig-

nificantly alleviate traffic con-

gestion on Bosmansdam Road,

he explained.

Blackshaw said the associa-

tion has been taking additional

measures to alleviate peak hour

traffic congestion which were

also having a positive impact.

Our CCTV operators keep a

special lookout for anything out

of the ordinary on the Century

City and surrounding road net-

work and response vehicles are

immediately dispatched to deal

with any problems that are

identified.

In addition the timing of the

traffic signals is constantly

monitored and any required ad-

justments are immediately re-

ported to the City of Cape

Towns Traffic Management

Centre (TMC) for attention. The

eight CCTV cameras that were

erected in 2014 to focus on traffic

management have greatly im-

proved the Century City Con-

trol Centre visibility and re-

sponse times.

Koes, sister, want ons stry oor jou k

MICHELLE LINNERT

@linnertmb

R

aai, raai: wat is nie regtig n koek nie,

pronk met n straat in Kaapstad wat

daarna vernoem is, bestaan uit varian-

te waarvan een se wortels diep in Maleisi

begrawe l, en het n stropie mt of sonder

anys wat daardeur loop?

n Koeksister, natuurlik! Of, as jy dan nou

van die Kaap is en die speseryagtige een ver-

kies, n koesister sonder die tweede k

(di heerlike eetding het immers Penzstraat

in die Bo-Kaap tot Koeksister-heuwel her-

doop gekry ...)

Meeste mense wat enigiets van nuuskan-

toreweet, weet dat die vreemdste s-goed uit

daardie inligtingsgrotte ontsnap of oor-en-

weer gegooi word. S was dit ook toe n

klomp in die TygerBurger-kantoor op die

drukspertyd oor koeksisters begin redeneer

het.

Die een van Bloemfontein wat lief is vir

kosmaak en darem sy kardamom van sy

kremetart uitken, begin die debat deur

ewe dapper en vol selfvertroue te verklaar

(tussen die klomp Kapenaars) dat daar gn

verskil is nie.

En hy haal boonop sy feite uit die Hand-

woordeboek van die Afrikaanse Taal aan! En

selfs met opperste opposisie, weier hy om

hom van stryk te laat bring.

Dt ontlok toe die gegons en n gejeuk wat

gekrap mt word: Wat is die verskil nou

eintlik tussen die twee?

TygerBurgerwend hom toe eers tot die so-

siale media.

Lionel Adendorf vat dadelik raak: Koek-

sisters word gevleg, en koesisters het anys

in enword dan in stroop gedoop en latermet

klapper bestrooi.

Jannie Hennop (toevallig ook n Vrysta-

ter), s: Geen verskil nie albei is water-

tandlekker.

Meer plaaslik stem Theresa Olivier

100%metAdendorf saam: Dishoe ekhom

ook ken. My mond water nou vir die koesis-

ter met anys, in stroop gedoop en geklap-

per.

Ingrid Jones se antwoord is doodeenvou-

dig: koeksisters word gevleg. Punt. Maar

Joanna Alexander meen ook dis dieselfde

ding ... net die uitspraak verskil.

Petro-ann Nicholas bring n hele nuwe di-

mensie tot die redenasie: Michelle Linnert,

dan is daar natuurlik ook die oliebol, wat in

Engels doughnut genoem word. Dis sonder

die anys en sy tekstuur effens sagter. Dit het

baie variasies room, custard, met klapper,

sonder klapper. Strooisuikerword ook soms

in plaas van klapper gebruik.

Toevallig bak Nicholas oor naweke van

die sonder-k-soort.

Moerieda Carolus en Quinton Adams

meendie een is gevleg enword deur die tan-

nies vir die tuisnywerhede gebak en die an-

der se oorsprong is in ons eie kombuise,

wat eg Bo-Kaaps is, met te veel liefde en

stroop in.

Vir Kupido Baron gee die uitspraak die

deurslag: Die uitspraak het te doen met

hoeveel tande jy nog oor het. .. en volgens

LizeMulder: Ooee,Michelle Linnert, by die

Groenpunt-dagkliniek waarnatoe ek my ma

een keer n maand vat, is daar koesisters

soos net n engel dit kanmaak! Jy sal my nie

met n koeksister vermaak nie, maar met

daai taai, soet anys en klapperbolle ... Ai

man, dan vergeet ek gerieflikheidshalwe

van diabetes en vetrolle en alles anders!

Volgens Wilma Paulse, n gerekende Mos-

lem-kok, het die koesister met sy donker-

bruin velletjie ook speserye soos neut, ka-

neel en gemmer in.

En die gevlegtes is twisteesmet nt anys,

liggies gestroop en in klapper getol.

Sy s bollas weer, is rond met korente

in en gesprinkel met versiersuiker. Koek-

sisters is ook gedraai, maar amper hol bin-

ne, wat dan in koue stroop gedoopword,met

geen klapper.

Volgens Charlene Fourie is die verskil se-

manties: Koesister is maar net streektaal,

soos vadoek, vir afdroogdoek.

Die Kalahari-joernalis Anena Burger ant-

woord van daar doer bo uit die hittegolwe:

Sy ken die een sonder die k as n curly.

My ma het hulle aan kafees gesmous.

Hulle is vir haar deur nMoslem-bakkery in

Eersterivier gebak. Sover ek weet is hulle

oorsprong uit die Bo-Kaap, s sy.

Hulle is sag aan die binnekant en in

stroop en klapper gedoop met n bietjie ka-

neel. Op sy lekkerste as dit nog warm is. n

Koeksister is die harde, stroopsoet weerga-

we. Ek eet enige dag eerder n curly.

Volgens Anena is die beste plek in die hele

wreld omwatertand-koeksisters te kry, ook

in die Kaap.

Koesister of curly het net so een of twee

draaie, waar n koeksister gevleg is. n Koek-

sister neem ook natuurlik die aard van die

vlegter aan. Party mense vleg dit soos jy n

vlegsel sal maak, met drie repe, ander weer

net met twee.

Maar as jy nou jouself wil bederf, vra vir

Francor-bakkery in Parow of jy kan gaan

kyk hoe die vroue daar koeksister vleg. Ek

s jou, joumond sal oophang.Hulle vleg daai

koeksisters sommer so met een hand en so

vinnig ...

En op di trant het die koeksister-kantoor-

kaskenade toe nog n hele ruk lank aange-

hou.

Maar wat is n argument dan nou ook son-

der die nodige feite ter stawing?

TygerBurger het die hulp van Fatima Sy-

dow, n baie bekende kenner van Maleise

kookkuns en kookboekskrywer, wat ook ge-

reeld van haar resepte met koerantlesers

deel, gekontak om lig op di klapperige saak

te werp.

Ons het grootgeword met die koeksisters

op nSondag.Mymahet dit destyds verkoop.

Vir die navorsing vir my kookboek is ek na

ons oueres om te hoor hoekom dit juis op n

Sondag verkoop is.

Dit blyk toedat omdat almal groot gekook

het vir Sondagmiddagete, die koesisters ge-

bruik is om solank die gaatjie in maag te

vul! vertel sy.

Diemense sou uit die kerk kom in die Bo-

Kaap en dan hul koesisters koop. Dit het n

groot tradisie geraak.

Sy s die enigste verskil tussen die twee,

behalwe vir die vorm, is dat die Kaaps-Ma-

leise mense oneindig lief is vir speserye!

Ja n, ons voeg speserye by amper alles.

Dis n amper genetiese geurbasis wat ons

kan onthou. Dis iets waarnamense smag. O,

en die eintlike woord s inderdaad koeksis-

ter, met die tweede k, maar omdat mense

streeksdialek praat, spreek hulle dit op n

lui manier uit.

Dismaar die enigste verskil. Daar is baie

kookpuriste en -snobs, maar daar is geen re-

de hoekom daar hoegenaamd n onderskeid

getref hoef te word nie.

Ons moet aan tafel sit en bloot geniet en

vier wat voor ons is. Elke kossoort het sy eie

verhaal.

lesers grootgeraak? Laat weet ons gerus by brie
