ie ou Jan S. Marais-hospitaal in Bell-

ville gaan gekoop word om voorsie-

ning te maak vir n lesing- en oplei-

dingslokaal vir sowat 2 500 studente en per-

soneel. Di gebou is eenvan tweewat gekoop

gaan word om die gebrek aan voldoende

huisvesting vir die sowat 100 000 studente by

die vyf groot tersire instellings in Bellville

en Parow aan te spreek.

S s Chris OConnor, uitvoerende hoof

van Die Groter Tygerberg-vennootskap

(DGTV), oor die gebrek aan huisvesting wat

studente hier ondervind.

Private beleggers het reeds aangedui dat

hulle bestaande geboue wil aankoop vir her-

ontwikkeling of dat hulle hul eie geboue sal

herontwikkel as oplossing vir die probleem.

Onderhandelinge is reeds aan die gang

om n bestaande gebou in Kruskallaan vir

studente-akkommodasie aan te koop, het

hy ges.

Nie n eenmanvertoning

Volgens hom is dit nie n eenmanverto-

ning nie en word vennootskappe met ver-

skeie rolspelers gesluit om die huisnood aan

te spreek. Daar is ander beleggers wat ont-

wikkelingsplanne vir Bellville en Parow het

en die proses vir die ontwikkeling is reeds

aan die gang.

Ons as DGTV is altyd in gesprekmet ont-

wikkelaars en beleggers wat hier wil ont-

wikkel, veral om bekostigbare huisvesting

te verskaf.

Samesprekings word gehou deur inlig-

tingsessies of ons plaas advertensies sodat

bestaande envoornemendebeleggers enont-

wikkelaars ophoogte gehouwordvandie be-

hoefte aan huisvesting in die Voortrekker-

weg-korridor. DieVoortrekkerweg-korridor

strek vanaf die Soutrivier-sirkel af met

Voortrekkerweg tot by die Stikland-brug

aan die buitewyke van Bellville, s hy.

n Goeie werksverhouding heers met alle

belanghebbendes, want almal is bewus van

die tekort aan akkommodasie vir studente.

Volgens homontwikkelDGTVnie self nie,

maar verskaf inligting aan beleggers of ont-

wikkelaars oor die behoefte en tree as fasili-

teerder op.

Sal slegs leiding gee

Op n vraag wie die woonplekke sal kan

koop of huur, het hy ges alles hang af van

die soort mark waarop die ontwikkeling ge-

skoei is. Die DGTV sal slegs leiding gee,

maar sal aanbeveel dat voorsiening gemaak

word vir almal uit die verskillende inkom-

stegroepe om soveel as moontlik studente te

kan huisves.

Die DGTV sal graag wil sien dat die ga-

ping in die huismark aangespreek word.

Voorsiening sal beslis gemaak moet

word dat almal gehelp kan word. Studente

kom uit verskillende inkomstegroepe en

ontwikkelaars kan nie net vir lae-inkomste-

groepe voorsieningmaak nie. Die ontwikke-

ling moet voorsiening maak vir alle inkom-

stegroepe. Indien daar net vir lae-inkomste-

groepe voorsiening gemaak word, sal dit

ekonomiese en sosiale groei in sulke gebiede

bemoeilik, het hy ges.

Verskeie belanghebbendes is betrokke by

die ontwikkeling indie gebied enalmalmoet

geraadpleeg word.

@andrebakkes

Die wreld is een enorme soetpatat ryker

nadat die 8-jarigeAndrPieters vanLaer-

skool Parow-Wes n monster van

11,59 kg gekweek het.

As n mens dit in lewende lywe bestu-

deer, danvoel dit amper asof die soetpatat

jou terug bestudeer!

Dit is ongelukkig nie die moeder van

alle soetpatatte nie, wat volgens Guin-

ness 37 kg weeg.

Andr se patat, aan die anderkant, sal

ten minste n tannie van alle soetpatat-

te wees te oordeel aan ander groot patat-

te wat al in die wreld gekweek is.

Verskeie koerante in Engeland het juis

in 2008 n groot ophef gemaakvan nLeba-

nese man wat n 11,3 kg-soetpatat ge-

kweek het.

Ek plant dit en my pa grawe dit uit,

s Andr trots. Die reus is gekweek op die

Pieters-plaas in Stanford, waar Andr sr.

dit so amper met n voorgraaf uit die

grond moes gehaal het.

Volgens Andr jr. is die geheim om

twee keer n dag water oor die groente te

gooi, asook n bietjie strooi.

VERVOLG VAN BLADSY 1

Die belanghebbendes sluit onder meer in

die Stad Kaapstad, plaaslike gemeenskap-

pe, provinsiale regering, plaaslike onderne-

mings, grondeienaars, die tersire instel-

lings, private beleggers/eienaars en die

VRCID.

Volgens OConnor fokus DGTV net op die

noordelike voorstede van Kaapstad. Dit

sluit in Bellville, Goodwood, Elsiesrivier,

Khayelitsha, Maitland, Parow en Vasco.

Die vyf omliggende nywerheidsgebiede is

ook deel daarvan en dit sluit in Elsiesrivier,

Ndabeni, Parow, Sacks-sirkel en die Stik-

land-driehoek.

Hierdie areas het voorheen onder die ju-

risdiksie van die Tygerberg-munisipaliteit

geval. Die gebied het gestrek vanaf die Ty-

gerberg enDurbanville-heuwels en sywyn-

vallei tot by Khayelitsha in die suide.

Tanswoondie studente by familie, vrien-

de of losiesouers buite Bellville en Parow

en moet lang afstande met openbare ver-

voer na en van die kampusse afgel word.

Met die beoogde ontwikkeling van die ge-

bou inKruskallaan en die hospitaal, sal die

ry-afstande verminder word.

Chris OConnor is die uitvoerende hoof van die

Groter Tygerbergvennootskap.


DiePieters-gesinhet ookgoeiekompos ge-

bruik om die grond voor te berei om ge-

boorte te gee aan di reuse-patat.

Daar is opdaardiedag npaar grotesuit-

gehaal, wat moontlik kan beteken dat de

knol miskien deel was van n gewas wat

rekords sou slaan.

Omdat die soetpatat egter verwyder

was van die res van die plant, is dit nou

sinloos om Guinness te kontak.

Daar was juis geen terugvoering van

Guinness af teen druktyd nie nadat Ty-

gerBurger vir hulle n navraag per e-pos

gestuur het.

Die storie van Andr se soetpatat sal

nietemin nog jare onthou word in die ge-

sin.

My pa was besig om brandpaaie op die

plaas te maak toe hy die soetpatat uitge-

haal het.

Hyhet dadelik gebel en ges ons sal nie

glowathynouhieruitgehaal hetnie! Kyk

hierdie massiewe ding!, het hy ges, lag

Andr.

Andr sr. het dadelik na n winkelsen-

trum inGansbaai gegaanomdie soetpatat

te weeg.

Sy seun voeg by dat dit van dag een sy

droomwas om hierdie soetpatat se foto in

die TygerBurger te plaas.

Noudat hy dit gedoen het, kan hy maar

begin eet daaraan. Miskien plaas Tyger-

Burger weer n berig oor n jaar om te s

Andr het dit uiteindelik opgeet.

Hy sluit af om te s dat hy nie een keer

RedBull oordie yslikedinggegooihet nie.

Estelle Kempen, n agronomie-dosent

by die Universiteit Stellenbosch, s die

soort kultivar wat jy gebruik kan ontaard

in ngroterwortel,maardie omstandighe-

de moet gunstig wees om iets so groot te

groei.

Sy voeg ook by dat jy 30 van dieselfde

kultivars kan plant en dan kan een nmu-

tasie ondergaan. Dt is wat met Andr se

soetpatat gebeur het.

Daar was n DNS-mutasie, wat gelei het

tot n uiterse rare gewas, s sy.

Kom ons maak n verskil in ons woonbuurt!

Elkeen van ons speel n rol in die strewe na

n perfekte woonbuurt. TygerBurger is daar

vir jou, so skakel ons gerus om iets te onder-

soek of duidelikheid te kry.

Kinders bederf seniors: Dertien kinders van Plattekloof Educare het die seniors van die

Tygerbergse Meals on Wheels onlangs besoek. Die kort program van danse en geskenke is

baie waardeer deur die bejaardes. Die skool het ook n boks kruideniersware bymekaar

gemaak wat soos manna uit die hemel gekom het net op die regte tyd! Daar is weekliks

n aanvraag vir kospakkies aan behoeftige seniors en gesinne.

Moontlike selfdood op spoorlyn

BRENDEN RUITER

@ruitervaniewind

D

ie Goodwood-polisie ondersoek onder

meer n moontlike selfdood n n man

Maandag naby die Goodwood-trein-

stasie onthoof is.

Volgens die polisie was die trein om-

streeks 04:00 onderweg uit die stasie toe die

treindrywer iemand op die spoor sien l.

Die trein was so 60 meter uit die stasie

en kon nie betyds stilhou nie. Ons kan nie

die moontlikheid van selfdood uitsluit nie,

aangesien daar geen poging was deur die

oorledene om van die spoor weg te beweeg

toe die trein aankom nie. n Ander ding wat

ons moet ondersoek is of die oorledene nie

reeds dood was toe hy op die spoorlyn gel

het nie, s ao. Wayne Theunis, polisie-

woordvoerder.

Theunis s die oorledene se kop en bene

is deur die trein afgery.

In di stadium is hy nog nie gedentifi-

seer nie, maar dit lyk of dit n buitelander

kanwees. As iemandmeer inligting het wat

die polisie met die ondersoek kan help, sal

ons dit waardeer, s Theunis.

ZinoMihi,waarnemende kommunikasie-

bestuurder vir Metrorail, het die voorval

bevestig. Ons betreur die voorval, maar in

di stadium blyk dit nie of die trein vir die

oorledene se dood verantwoordelik is nie.

Dit wil vir ons lyk of die liggaam op die

spoor geplaas is om n moord te verdoesel.

Dit gebeur soms dat iemand elders ver-

moor word en die lyk op die spore geplaas

word om die polisie te mislei, s Mihi.

Mihi s hoewel dit blyk of die man reeds

dood was toe die trein oor hom gery het, sal

die drywer steeds berading ontvang.

Ons prosesse vereis dat die drywer bera-

ding ontvang, want iets soos dit kan nogal

n impak op n mens h. Hy sal ook vir n

tyd lank met verpligte verlof gaan om dit te

verwerk wat gebeur het. Intussen gaan ons

die polisie help om agter die kap van die byl

te kom, s Mihi. Sy het n beroep op pende-

laars gedoen om versigtig te wees wanneer

hulle by n stasie is.

Hierdie is n ander soort geval, maar ons

wil dit tog gebruik om pendelaars te waar-

sku oor die gevare van n trein. n Trein is

nie soos n motor wat skielik kan stop nie,

so mense moet nie oor spore loop nie. Dit

kan dalk gouer wees om aan die ander kant

uit te kom, maar dit kan ook beteken dat jy

nooit aan die ander kant uitkom nie, s sy.

Die lyk van n man is Maandag naby die Goodwoodstasie gevind. FOTO: CARINA ROUX

Die belanghebbendes sluit onder meer in

die Stad Kaapstad, plaaslike gemeenskap-

pe, provinsiale regering, plaaslike onderne-

mings, grondeienaars, die tersire instel-

lings, private beleggers/eienaars en die

VRCID.

Volgens OConnor fokus DGTV net op die

noordelike voorstede van Kaapstad. Dit

sluit in Bellville, Goodwood, Elsiesrivier,

Khayelitsha, Maitland, Parow en Vasco.

Die vyf omliggende nywerheidsgebiede is

ook deel daarvan en dit sluit in Elsiesrivier,

Ndabeni, Parow, Sacks-sirkel en die Stik-

land-driehoek.

Hierdie areas het voorheen onder die ju-

risdiksie van die Tygerberg-munisipaliteit

geval. Die gebied het gestrek vanaf die Ty-

gerberg enDurbanville-heuwels en sywyn-

vallei tot by Khayelitsha in die suide.

Tanswoondie studente by familie, vrien-

de of losiesouers buite Bellville en Parow

en moet lang afstande met openbare ver-

voer na en van die kampusse afgel word.

Met die beoogde ontwikkeling van die ge-

bou inKruskallaan en die hospitaal, sal die

ry-afstande verminder word.

Chris OConnor is die uitvoerende hoof van die

Groter Tygerbergvennootskap.

boorte te gee aan di reuse-patat.

Daar is opdaardiedag npaar grotesuit-

gehaal, wat moontlik kan beteken dat de

knol miskien deel was van n gewas wat

rekords sou slaan.

Omdat die soetpatat egter verwyder

was van die res van die plant, is dit nou

sinloos om Guinness te kontak.

Daar was juis geen terugvoering van

Guinness af teen druktyd nie nadat Ty-

gerBurger vir hulle n navraag per e-pos

gestuur het.

Die storie van Andr se soetpatat sal

nietemin nog jare onthou word in die ge-

sin.

My pa was besig om brandpaaie op die

plaas te maak toe hy die soetpatat uitge-

haal het.

Hyhet dadelik gebel en ges ons sal nie

glowathynouhieruitgehaal hetnie! Kyk

hierdie massiewe ding!, het hy ges, lag

Andr.

Andr sr. het dadelik na n winkelsen-

trum inGansbaai gegaanomdie soetpatat

te weeg.

Sy seun voeg by dat dit van dag een sy

droomwas om hierdie soetpatat se foto in

die TygerBurger te plaas.

Noudat hy dit gedoen het, kan hy maar

begin eet daaraan. Miskien plaas Tyger-

Burger weer n berig oor n jaar om te s

Andr het dit uiteindelik opgeet.

Hy sluit af om te s dat hy nie een keer

RedBull oordie yslikedinggegooihet nie.

Sy voeg ook by dat jy 30 van dieselfde

kultivars kan plant en dan kan een nmu-

tasie ondergaan. Dt is wat met Andr se

soetpatat gebeur het.

Daar was n DNS-mutasie, wat gelei het

tot n uiterse rare gewas, s sy.

Moontlike selfdood op spoorlyn

BRENDEN RUITER

@ruitervaniewind

D

ie Goodwood-polisie ondersoek onder

meer n moontlike selfdood n n man

Maandag naby die Goodwood-trein-

stasie onthoof is.

Volgens die polisie was die trein om-

streeks 04:00 onderweg uit die stasie toe die

treindrywer iemand op die spoor sien l.

Die trein was so 60 meter uit die stasie

en kon nie betyds stilhou nie. Ons kan nie

die moontlikheid van selfdood uitsluit nie,

aangesien daar geen poging was deur die

oorledene om van die spoor weg te beweeg

toe die trein aankom nie. n Ander ding wat

ons moet ondersoek is of die oorledene nie

reeds dood was toe hy op die spoorlyn gel

het nie, s ao. Wayne Theunis, polisie-

woordvoerder.

Theunis s die oorledene se kop en bene

is deur die trein afgery.

In di stadium is hy nog nie gedentifi-

seer nie, maar dit lyk of dit n buitelander

kanwees. As iemandmeer inligting het wat

die polisie met die ondersoek kan help, sal

ons dit waardeer, s Theunis.

ZinoMihi,waarnemende kommunikasie-

bestuurder vir Metrorail, het die voorval

bevestig. Ons betreur die voorval, maar in

di stadium blyk dit nie of die trein vir die

oorledene se dood verantwoordelik is nie.

Dit wil vir ons lyk of die liggaam op die

spoor geplaas is om n moord te verdoesel.

Dit gebeur soms dat iemand elders ver-

moor word en die lyk op die spore geplaas

word om die polisie te mislei, s Mihi.

Mihi s hoewel dit blyk of die man reeds

dood was toe die trein oor hom gery het, sal

die drywer steeds berading ontvang.

Ons prosesse vereis dat die drywer bera-

ding ontvang, want iets soos dit kan nogal

n impak op n mens h. Hy sal ook vir n

tyd lank met verpligte verlof gaan om dit te

verwerk wat gebeur het. Intussen gaan ons

die polisie help om agter die kap van die byl

te kom, s Mihi. Sy het n beroep op pende-

laars gedoen om versigtig te wees wanneer

hulle by n stasie is.

Hierdie is n ander soort geval, maar ons

wil dit tog gebruik om pendelaars te waar-

sku oor die gevare van n trein. n Trein is

nie soos n motor wat skielik kan stop nie,

so mense moet nie oor spore loop nie. Dit

kan dalk gouer wees om aan die ander kant

uit te kom, maar dit kan ook beteken dat jy

nooit aan die ander kant uitkom nie, s sy.

Die lyk van n man is Maandag naby die Goodwoodstasie gevind. FOTO: CARINA ROUX

We are not all thieves

ANDR BAKKES

@andrebakkes

T

he simple act of putting your munici-

pal bin out on the street the morning

instead of the evening beforewas clear

to be seen in Edgemead last week.

According to the chairperson of the

Edgemead Neighbourhood Watch (ENW),

Mark Richards, their patrollers noticed a

huge decline in the droves of bin scratch-

ers they used to see from late afternoon on

the day before the refuse collection days.

Collection days are on a Tuesday and a

Wednesday.

Last week just five street people were no-

ticedwandering around the neighbourhood

during the night, where other weeks this

number fluctuated between 40 and 50.

It makes a considerable difference to

those patrolling our streets when we dont

have people aimlessly roaming around,

says Richards.

Bin scratchers have been a thorn in the

side of many neighbourhoods for years

now.

TygerBurger reported onwhat appears to

be a mass migration of vagrants from sub-

urb to suburb always in sync with refuse

collection trucks.

Their numbers inevitably started in-

creasing the day before collection because

of people leaving their bins out overnight.

The plight of bin scratchers invoke empa-

thy in all but a few.

Its a tough life, Richards explains.

This empathy, in a way, is part of the

problem. People with bleeding hearts try to

help the vagrants, which just invites more

into the suburb.

Sometimes they are asked to go to home-

less shelters, butmanyprefernot to because

there are too many rules.

Richards says ENWpatrollers often learn

the names of street people and would ask

themvery politely at night to leave the area.

We are never rude and never violent,

he emphasises.

According to him Law Enforcement can

only be involvedwhen someone is breaking

a bylaw, so the unwritten rule is that neigh-

bourhood watches urge vagrants to move

along.

The plight of bin scratchers dawns on one

after talking to them.

One of these people, who is only willing

to give his first name as Trevor, says he

scoursbins everyday for old soft drinkcans

and newspapers.

He puts all these items in bags and deliver

it to scrap yards and recycling plants.

I get 60 cents a kilo for the cans and 50

cents a kilo for newspapers, he says.

With this money he would buy himself a

peanut butter sandwich for R3.

Trevor says for the rest of the day he eats

whatever edible food he can find in the bins.

Richards says many of the bin scratchers

choose the life they lead, and Trevor agrees

that some do, but not him.

Some like it; not me. If I could choose I

would live in one of those houses, he says,

pointing towards modest looking flats on

the side of the road.

While he tries to make a living, others

are trying to make it harder for him.

Trevor concludes: We are not all

thieves.

This is the problem for Edgemead and

countless of other suburbs.

Some vagrants are unfortunately thieves,

and they often hide under the banner of bin

scratchers.

Says Richards: One day I arrived at the

scene of an attempted burglary. The perpe-

trators were trying to lift a gate to gain en-

try to a property.

The domestic worker told me she recog-

nised them. Apparently they were hanging

out with bin scratchers. We are not saying

they were bin scratchers, but that these

guys unwittingly provide the perfect cover

for them.

ENW will continue to spread pamphlets

into the suburb to remind people to only put

their bins out on collection days.

To all those who have heeded the watchs

continued efforts to reduce the number of

vagrants, Richards says: On behalf of the

ENW I would like to say a big thank you to

those residents who are making the effort

for the greater good of our little village.

@andrebakkes

Officers of the Parow Crime Prevention

Unit practised their wall climbing skills

last week on Friday afternoon when they

pursued two burglars from one property

to the next.

The 18 and 22-year-old suspects met

their match, however, when a police van

cut one of them off in the road and gave

their pursuers just enough time to make

two arrests.

At least ourmale and female members

are also young, laughs local police

spokesperson Captain Kevin Williams.

According to him the chase happened

over an obstacle laden kilometre.

The members were searching a house

in 40 Parow Street when they received a

tip-off relating to a housebreak-in in

progress in Hoskins Street, he elabo-

rates.

At the premises they looked over the

wall and spotted two males, who in turn

saw the police and fled the scene.

By that time the suspects already stole

22 five-shilling coins, an Ericsson cell-

phone, 12 items of custom-made jewellery

and a gold watch.

The suspects fled in two directions, so

the members split up. One group went to

the van and the other started climbing

walls.

All the stolen items were found on the

suspects, who are both from Nyanga.

We wish to extend an appreciation to

the community members who supplied

the information that led to the arrest of

both suspects, who were arrested for

housebreakingand theft, concludesWill-

iams.

Officers fitter, more agile than burglars

The majority of bin scratchers are simply trying to make a living, but they provide the perfect

cover for criminals. This leaves organisations such as Edgemead Neighbourhood Watch no

option but to implore residents not to leave their refuse bins out overnight. PHOTO: ANDR BAKKES

POSSIBLE DISRUPTIONOFWATER SUPPLY:

PAROWVALLEY AND BEACONVALE

INDUSTRIA

Monday 20 June 2016

The City of Cape Towns Water and Sanitation Department need to urgently replace a 300mm

diameter control valve on the water supply feeding the Parow Valley and Beaconvale Industria

areas on Monday 20 June 2016.

This will result in the possible disruption of the water supply to these areas from 22:00 until

05:00 the following morning.

The work has been planned carefully to ensure minimal disruption of the water supply in the

affected areas.

For maintenance and upgrading, the water supply network across the city is divided into

reticulation zones, which are smaller and much more manageable sections of the large

network. This work forms part of the Citys Water Demand Management Plan and will

significantly reduce the occurrence of pipe bursts and subsequent water losses.

Please store water in clean sealed containers for domestic use during this period.

The City regrets any inconvenience caused.

Unique opportunity to find old die-cast toy

T

he Fisantekraal Centre for Develop-

ment (FCD) near the Durbanville taxi

rank is not only about economic

empowerment, but also about equipping

unemployed people for a meaningful life.

Jane Gelderman, director of FCD, elabo-

rates: We equip our students with the nec-

essary skills that will help them to become

economically active, as well as developing

emotional, social and spiritual skills.

The centre has been running courses to

support and guide the unemployed and

semi-employed for a number of years now.

The aim of the courses is to restore dig-

nity and improve self-esteem and self-confi-

dence to those who have lost hope in ever

finding employment, says Gelderman.

All students have to complete the job

readiness course before they can move on

to any of the other courses. This course pre-

pares learners for the world of work by

teaching life skills, basic computer skills

and a customer service orientation.

As a Christian based non-profitable orga-

nisation, the students are also encouraged

to participate in spiritual development ses-

sions run by local pastors from five Dur-

banville churches.

Imelda Cleaphas, who recently complet-

ed the course, says the sessions on life skills

and spiritual development taught me I am

a work in progress.

I realised that I need to bemore thought-

ful when I deal with people, but that I am

quite good at resolving conflict, she says.

Another student, Ziyanda Kwinana,

says: When I started the course I was shy

and unsure of myself, but now I have more

confidence and know how to communicate

with people.

Once students have completed the job

readiness course, they have the option to go

on retail training programmes at a variety

of businesses. They can also move on to the

frail care or office basics programmes,

Gelderman explains. Upon successful com-

pletion of these work-ready courses, FCD

offers support in placing their students,

where possible.

There are many unemployed people

running small businesses from home. Our

courses will help them to grow their busi-

nesses and to make sure that they run as

profitably as possible, she says.

Our bake-for-profit course is very popu-

lar, she says.

This nine-week course consists of two

days of trainingperweek Wednesdays for

business skills theory and Thursdays for

baking practicals.

FCD will also be offering another entre-

preneurial programme a business skills

course to help inexperienced business

owners succeed in their businesses.

The modules will cover business plan-

ning, costing and pricing aswell asmarket-

ing. This course will also be running on

Wednesdays and Thursdays from 08:00 to

16:00.

To attend this course, candidates should

have Grade 10 and have been operating an

informal business for a period of at least

three months.

There are several ways inwhich the com-

munity can get involved with this initia-

tive, continues Gelderman.

People can identify individuals with tal-

ent and potential from vulnerable commu-

nities and introduce them to the services of-

fered by the centre.

They can also become job shadow or job

placement partners for the graduates of the

courses, or offer their time, services or fi-

nances to ensure the continuity of this com-

munity initiative, she says.

V Courses run throughout the year and interested

students, sponsors or donors can contact FCD on

021 975 7764 or visit www.fisantekraal .org.za.

Unique opportunity to find old die-cast toy

T

he Fisantekraal Centre for Develop-

ment (FCD) near the Durbanville taxi

rank is not only about economic

empowerment, but also about equipping

unemployed people for a meaningful life.

Jane Gelderman, director of FCD, elabo-

rates: We equip our students with the nec-

essary skills that will help them to become

economically active, as well as developing

emotional, social and spiritual skills.

The centre has been running courses to

support and guide the unemployed and

semi-employed for a number of years now.

The aim of the courses is to restore dig-

nity and improve self-esteem and self-confi-

dence to those who have lost hope in ever

finding employment, says Gelderman.

All students have to complete the job

readiness course before they can move on

to any of the other courses. This course pre-

pares learners for the world of work by

teaching life skills, basic computer skills

and a customer service orientation.

As a Christian based non-profitable orga-

nisation, the students are also encouraged

to participate in spiritual development ses-

sions run by local pastors from five Dur-

banville churches.

Imelda Cleaphas, who recently complet-

ed the course, says the sessions on life skills

and spiritual development taught me I am

a work in progress.

I realised that I need to bemore thought-

ful when I deal with people, but that I am

quite good at resolving conflict, she says.

Another student, Ziyanda Kwinana,

says: When I started the course I was shy

and unsure of myself, but now I have more

confidence and know how to communicate

with people.

Once students have completed the job

readiness course, they have the option to go

on retail training programmes at a variety

of businesses. They can also move on to the

frail care or office basics programmes,

Gelderman explains. Upon successful com-

pletion of these work-ready courses, FCD

offers support in placing their students,

where possible.

There are many unemployed people

running small businesses from home. Our

courses will help them to grow their busi-

nesses and to make sure that they run as

profitably as possible, she says.

Our bake-for-profit course is very popu-

lar, she says.

This nine-week course consists of two

days of trainingperweek Wednesdays for

business skills theory and Thursdays for

baking practicals.

FCD will also be offering another entre-

preneurial programme a business skills

course to help inexperienced business

owners succeed in their businesses.

The modules will cover business plan-

ning, costing and pricing aswell asmarket-

ing. This course will also be running on

Wednesdays and Thursdays from 08:00 to

16:00.

To attend this course, candidates should

have Grade 10 and have been operating an

informal business for a period of at least

three months.

There are several ways inwhich the com-

munity can get involved with this initia-

tive, continues Gelderman.

People can identify individuals with tal-

ent and potential from vulnerable commu-

nities and introduce them to the services of-

fered by the centre.

They can also become job shadow or job

placement partners for the graduates of the

courses, or offer their time, services or fi-

nances to ensure the continuity of this com-

munity initiative, she says.

V Courses run throughout the year and interested

students, sponsors or donors can contact FCD on

021 975 7764 or visit www.fisantekraal .org.za.

A

Grade 3 pupil of Kenridge Primary

School was almost kidnapped this

past Fridaywhile shewaswaiting for

her mother to fetch her from school.

This cameamidst several hoax reports on

social media of attempted child kidnap-

pings at various schools around the Boland

and northern suburbs recently.

In one of these hoax reports a Toyota

Quantum minibus was reported as suspi-

cious, but turned out to be agents of Ozone

Aqua selling their products.

But this time, it really happened.

According to the principal, Sandy Smith,

the child was standing near the Koos Ek-

steen hockey field at the stop street on the

corner ofVanRiebeeckAvenue andRhodes

Street at about 13:15.

A white kombi-type vehicle with a man

and awoman inside stopped next to the girl

and they told her that hermother had asked

them to fetch her from school.

The girl turned around and ran back into

the school grounds, Smith said. Themother

came to fetch her child and they reported

the incident to thepolice and theCNiarmed

response, but did not lay a charge.

Captain Marchell Rhode, media spokes-

person of theDurbanville police, confirmed

the incidentwas reported to the head of sec-

tor 3 of the Durbanville police.

However, he said that it was reported to

the police that the vehicle in question was

a white bakkie.

According to Rhode the sector head said

they have been doing regular patrols at the

school since the incident.

Weve put out a message to our parents

to collect their children on time after

school. We have also instructed our chil-

dren to wait for their parents inside the

school grounds and have teachers standing

in our car park at home time to ensure the

learners safety, said Smith.

CNi armed response is also patrolling the

entrances to the school at both sides when

the school comes out in Tygervalley Road

and Van Riebeeck Road, says Stephen

Swartz,managerof the responseunit ofCNi

armed response. According to him they are

also on the lookout for suspicious vehicles

or people in the vicinity of the school.

In another real incident two girls also es-

caped kidnapping at the Rusthof Primary

School in Strand last Wednesday.

Deputy principal Ikraam Wentzel con-

firmed the ten-year-old Grade 5 girls were

approached by an elderly womanwith long

blonde hair, dressed in black, and a man in

a blue bakkie.

The woman tried to force the girls into

the bakkie, but they managed to break free

and ran back into the school grounds.

This came amidst several alleged false re-

ports of attempts to snatch children or peo-

ple taking photographs of children at

schools and elsewhere.

The rumours of children being targeted

at schools in the northern suburbs as well

as in Franschhoek, Strand, Somerset West

and Paarl started making the rounds a few

months ago in social media like WhatsApp

and Facebook.

A photograph of a Toyota Quantummini-

bus was distributed on social media as one

of the suspect vehicles of a kidnapping syn-

dicate.

However, it turned out to be false.

Durbanville police warned that people

must make sure of their facts before they

post or distribute alerts on social media.

Grade 3 girl cries

stranger danger

A group of young Capetonians is encourag-

ing South Africans to get involved with local

government through their #SwingYourVote

campaign.

The youth leaders, working under the Ed-

ucoafrica banner, hail fromLanga, Kraaifon-

tein, Delft, Khayelitsha and Hanover Park,

and hope to inspire young people to build re-

lationships with local government through

accountability and active citizenship.

In the past seven months a diverse group

of youth from different areas of Cape Town

has been undergoing a course on public gov-

ernance, explains the groups AneleWondo.

The programme is called Making Local

Government Work (MLGW) and looks at bet-

ter ways of engaging with our local govern-

ment for the betterment of service delivery

and holding them accountable for their ac-

tions. Anele explains that their hashtag,

which they are hoping will be shared on so-

cial media platforms, will not only challenge

citizens to vote but also be involved in the

process and structures of democracy by

claiming spaces they occupy and not just

complain and burn tyres and facilities.

The campaign also aims to engage young

people in conversation about their concerns

or the issues they might face.

Anele invites young Capetonians to photo-

graph themselves with a #SwingYourVote

poster and upload it to their socialmedia pro-

files or their SwingYourVote Campaign

Facebookpage tohelp themspread theirmes-

sage of civic awareness and start a dialogue.

ANDR BAKKES

@andrebakkes

B

eing a drug addict has been likened to

wearing a mask.

At first you find the seemingly self-

confident person looking back at you in the

mirror intriguing, but before too long you

cannot even recall the real you.

You become themask, and without it you

feel incomplete.

Every now and again a drug addict will

experience a moment of clarity and yearn

to be free.

But this is the exception rather than the

rule.

According to Ramots manager, Lettie

Visser, the vast majority of patients who

walk through their doors are there because

of someone else.

More often than not a loved one or an

employer demands that the patient comes

for treatment. It is rare that patients realise

themselves that their addiction actually

hurts those closest to them the most.

With Drug AwarenessWeek from 24 to 28

June just around the corner, TygerBurger

spoke to one of the rehabilitation centres

operating in the northern suburbs.

Ramot Treatment Centre for Substance

Dependence in Parow was established in

1964 by theDutchReformedChurchandhas

since guided thousands of addicts from all

over South Africa to a full recovery.

By far the two most common addictions

they treat are alcohol and tik dependence.

Every week on a Tuesday and Thursday

people from all walks of life are admitted

and subjected to an intense and profession-

ally managed rehabilitation programme,

consisting of one week of detox and four

weeks of structured in-patient pro-

grammes.

Some try to escape, some try to coerce a

friend into smuggling drugs onto the prem-

ises and others try to fill the void with over-

eating.

Ultimately, all of the patientswill be com-

pletely drug-free by the time they are dis-

charged.

At Ramot, once patients are out of detox,

theydont just lie in bed.Wehavemanypro-

grammes designed to assist them in their

recovery.We provide structure, a good diet,

a creativeworkshop and a gym, to namebut

a few benefits, says Visser.

She continues: We are rather unique in

the fact that we dont have former addicts

on the payroll, but rather professional,

qualified and registered staff. We do, how-

ever, make use of ex-addict volunteers. Be-

sides ourmedical staff we rely on the thera-

peutic services of a psychologist, a biokinet-

icist, social workers, a teacher and a

spiritual counsellor.

The enormous drug problem facing the

Western Cape receives plenty of coverage,

but according toVisser some of the drug ad-

dictions are underplayed.

We see the ugly side of dagga addiction.

It blocks the normal cognitive and emotion-

al development of adolescents.We have had

patients here in their thirties with themen-

tal and emotional capacity of teenagers.

Their sense of responsibility is so far re-

moved from reality that it seems almost a

lost cause. Somemay even become psychot-

ic with regular use, she elaborates.

As with all organisations of Ramots ilk,

sufficient funds will always be an issue.

The money we receive from the govern-

ment, medical aids and private funding is

never enough.

We have been trying to buy new mat-

tresses foryearsnow.Sodonations fromthe

public are invaluable and serves an incredi-

bly great cause.

Anyone who wants to show their sup-

port to us can go to ourwebsite,www.ramot

.co.za.

V Read next weeks TygerBurger to hear the stories

of an addict and an exaddict.

eing a drug addict has been likened to

wearing a mask.

At first you find the seemingly self-

confident person looking back at you in the

mirror intriguing, but before too long you

cannot even recall the real you.

You become themask, and without it you

feel incomplete.

Every now and again a drug addict will

experience a moment of clarity and yearn

to be free.

But this is the exception rather than the

rule.

According to Ramots manager, Lettie

Visser, the vast majority of patients who

walk through their doors are there because

With Drug AwarenessWeek from 24 to 28

operating in the northern suburbs.

Ramot Treatment Centre for Substance

Dependence in Parow was established in

1964 by theDutchReformedChurchandhas

since guided thousands of addicts from all

over South Africa to a full recovery.

By far the two most common addictions

they treat are alcohol and tik dependence.

Every week on a Tuesday and Thursday

people from all walks of life are admitted

and subjected to an intense and profession-

consisting of one week of detox and four

weeks of structured in-patient pro-

grammes.

Some try to escape, some try to coerce a

friend into smuggling drugs onto the prem-

ises and others try to fill the void with over-

eating.

Ultimately, all of the patientswill be com-

pletely drug-free by the time they are dis-

charged.

At Ramot, once patients are out of detox,

theydont just lie in bed.Wehavemanypro-

grammes designed to assist them in their

recovery.We provide structure, a good diet,

a creativeworkshop and a gym, to namebut

a few benefits, says Visser.

She continues: We are rather unique in

the fact that we dont have former addicts

on the payroll, but rather p
