BVILLEPOLISIEKANTOOR:MISDAADVOORKOMINGSEENHEID VAAR BESTE

AVRIL FILLIES

D

ie Bellville-polisiekantoor kan sy

bors met reg uitstoot!

Di kantoor het landwyd in drie af-

delings onder die topvyf-polisiekantore ge-

eindig n bewys dat daar n groot verbete-

ring in die doeltreffendheid en vertoning

van die Bellville-polisiekantoor was, en

wat ookweerspielword in sy prestasiesty-

ging van 54,6% tot 76,14%.

S s Hennie Koekemoer, waarnemende

voorsitter van die Bellville-gemeenskaps-

polisiringsforum.

Nie net is die polisiekantoor se mis-

daadvoorkomingseenheid tops nie, want

die eenheid het uit die 1 133 polisiekantore

landwyd van 584ste tot die eerste plek ge-

klim, maar uit n totaal van 112 polisiekan-

tore landwyd wat onder bevel van n briga-

dier is, het die kantoor sy posisie geduren-

de die finansile jaar van 67ste tot die derde

posisie verbeter.

Nog n prestasie is dat Bellville uit die

1 133 kantore sy posisie algeheel van 628ste

tot die derde posisie verbeter het. Wat nog-

al baie s.

Volgens brig. Andr van Dyk, bevelvoer-

der vanBellville-polisie, is hy in synoppies

met al die prestasies, enhy skryf dit toe aan

die samewerking tussen al sy departemen-

te. Die eerste posisie van die misdaadvoor-

komingseenheid is vir hom die bewys

waaromdiemisdaadvoorvalle en -statistie-

ke nou op die laagste in vyf jaar is.

Die sukses van die misdaadsvoorko-

mingseenheid is die resultaat van werk

wat deur al die sigbare polisiringskompo-

nente gedurende die finansile jaar gedoen

is.

Die misdaadvoorkomingseenheid on-

der die bevel van kapt. Alwyn Jenkins het

volgens my die grootste bydrae gelewer tot

di sukses. Hyword bygestaan deur ao. Ga-

wie Hawkins, J.P. Smit, Whitey van Zyl en

sers. FrancoisWhitehead. Die aos bestuur

elk hul eie groepe. Verder kan die sukses

hoofsaaklik toegeskryf word aan die posi-

tiewe gesindheid van lede, die ho moraal

en n deeglike analise van misdaad en be-

plande aksies om misdaad in die groter

Bellville te voorkom en te bekamp, het

Van Dyk ges. Volgens hom het die polisie

ook n goeie vennootskapmet die 21 plaasli-

ke buurtwagte in Bellville en dit het ook n

wesenlike bydrae gemaak tot die sukses

wat die gemeenskapspolisiringsforumon-

der Koekemoer behaal het.

Bellville is hoofsaaklik n eiendomsmis-

daadgebied waar veral huisbrake, motor-

diefstal en motorinbrake voorkom. Die fo-

kus van die misdaadvoorkomingseenheid

is primr op die voorkoming van eien-

domsmisdaad en rooftogte. Ek kan nie ge-

noeg die werk van die eenheid beklemtoon

nie, want dit is Bellville se vlagskip.

Oor die prestasie van Bellville as die der-

de beste polisiekantoor onder die bevel van

n brigadier, is Van Dyk ook trots.

Die senioriteit van die bestuurder of

bevelvoerdervan npolisiekantoorword in

n groot mate bepaal deur misdaadvlakke,

geografiese gebiedsgroottes en ander poli-

siringsuitdagings in die betrokke gebied.

In ons geval is dit die groter Bellville of

mens kan dit ook Tygerberg noem. Die

SAPDmonitor polisiekantore nasionaal in

terme van die nasionale doeltreffendheids-

indekstelsel en ongelukkig is daar nie n

sertifikaat-oorhandiging nie, die uitslae

word net aan almal deurgegee, s hy.

Die kantoor se doeltreffendheid het ook

verbeter van n onbevredigende 45,93% tot

n uitstekende 100% vir misdaadvoorko-

ming. Die polisie se dienste by die aanklag-

kantoor en die gemeenskapsentrum, die

hulp van die speurders en die algehele han-

tering van die publiek se navrae, het ook

bygedra tot die sukses van die polisiekan-

toor in sy geheel. Van Dyk woon ook ge-

reeld die vergaderings van die buurtwagte

by en is dus ookvir almal sigbaar,hetKoe-

kemoer bygevoeg.

Brig. Andre van Dyk, bevelvoerder van die Bellville

polisiekantoor, het rede om so breed te glimlag.

Onder topvyf in land!n land!

D

ie Groter Tygerberg-vennootskap

(GTV) in oorlegmet die StadKaapstad

is besig om Stasieweg, ook bekend as

Station ArtCade, in Parow met straatkuns

van plaaslike kunstenaars wat ook interna-

sionaal erkenning verwerf het, as deel van

hul Art in Action-veldtog op te kikker.

Die kunstenaars is: See-Saw-Do aka Ms

Awesome, Ricky Lee Gordon aka Freddy

Sam, Jack Fox (17), Chris Auret (almal van

Kaapstad), Lwando Lese van Khayelitsha

en Wayne Beukes aka Conform van Mit-

chells Plain.

Vir jare is Stasiewegbekendvir sy stalle-

tjies deur informele handelaars en die GTV

wil graag die diversiteit van die gemeen-

skap wat daar werk, woon en handeldryf

deur middel van straatkuns uitbeeld. Die

kunstenaars het besluit om deur hul straat-

kuns hul vertolking van die tema Celebra-

ting Diversity - Celebrating Our People in

vier verskillende en opwindende kunswer-

ke uit te beeld, het Chris OConnor, hoof-

uitvoerende beampte van die GTV, ges.

DieCobblersDen-winkel is eenvandiebe-

kendste bakens in Stasieweg en spog met

drie skilderye aan albei kante van die win-

kel. Die eienaar,wyleHariksonNarshi, was

n groot voorstander van die opgradering

van Stasieweg enhet sy gebou semure daar-

voor geskenk. Hy is ongelukkig in Desem-

ber verlede jaar tragies dood, maar sy fami-

lie het aangedring dat die derde muur ge-

skilderword ter nagedagtenis aan hom.Oor

die jare het oumasmet hul kinders en klein-

kinders daar inkopies gedoen en as jy met

van die stalletjiehouers gesels, kom jy agter

daar is sekere bakens wat vir hulle uitstaan

en Cobblers Den is een van hulle.

Stasieweg is n smal straat en word as

deurgang tussen Voortrekkerweg en Pa-

row-stasie deur voetgangers gebruik en die

projek is deel van die die opgradering van

die Voortrekkerweg-korridor en die beoog-

de planne vir Parow.

Heelwat van die geboue in die arkade is

in n vervalle toestand en die Art in Action-

veldtog was daarop gemik om die openbare

ruimte en omliggende ruimtes tussen ge-

boue te verbeter deur middel van straat-

kuns. Van die voordele behels die bydrae tot

stedelike verval deur die stimulasie tussen

kunstenaars, ontwerpers, stadsbeplanners,

sake-eienaars, inwoners en ontwikkelaars.

Dit sal dan ook beteken dat kuns en kuns-

werke uit museums en galerye verwyder

wordna n openbare area, het hy bygevoeg.

Die dinamiese subkulture in Stasieweg

word ook in die kleure van die vier skilde-

rye weergegee. Op n vraag waarom sulke

inisiatiewe aangepak word, het hy ges die

GTVhoopdat eienaarskap vandie area aan-

geneem word en ook dat die unieke en her-

kenbare karaktertrekke van n spesifieke

gebied uitgelig kan word. Dis ook deel van

die mooimaak van stedelike gebiede, het hy

ges.

Muurskilderye is n nuwe tendens w-

reldwyd en die publiek en die skilder gesels

gewoonlik oor die skilderye, die betekenis

daarvan en hoekom juis die spesifieke uit-

beeldings op die mure aangebring is.

Samesprekings is met al die partye be-

trokke by die projek gevoer en ons is dank-

baar vir die eienaars vandie gebouewat toe-

stemming gegee het dat die muurskilderye

daarop geverf kon word.

n Skildery is ook op die hoek van Victo-

riastraat en Stasieweg aangebring wat fo-

kus op die ontwikkeling van die kind. Wat

vir my opvallend is, is dat die publiek nie

die skilderye met graffiti bemors het nie,

maar dit so gelaat het soos die kunstenaars

dit geskilder het n bewys dat hulle eie-

naarskap van die verfraaiing vanStasieweg

aanvaar, het OConnor ges.

Hy het ook ges die straatkuns is vir die

gerief en genot van al die inwoners en om

sosiale en ekonomiesewelvaart inKaapstad

te verseker.

Die publiek kan ook die cuisine van al die

lande wat in Stasieweg verteenwoordig is,

by die onderskeie restaurante gaan proe. Jy

leer nie net n ander kultuur nie, maar kan

dalk nnuwe fynproewervanuitheemsedis-

se word.

Met die Parow-vlooimark naby, kan jy

ook gaan snuffel vir winskopies.

Straatkunstenaars blaas

nuwe lewe in Stasieweg

Corridor gets a boost

T

he City of Cape Town has allocated

about R350 million in the 2016/17 fi-

nancial year for infrastructure pro-

jects in the Voortrekker Road Corridor

(VRC) as part of its ongoing efforts to revi-

talise this substantial area.

The infrastructure and public space up-

grade projects, some of which are already

underway, include R51 million for the Oak-

dale Main Substation (Phase 2), R65 million

for the Bellville Wastewater Treatment

Works Facility, R5 million for the upgrade

of the Bellville Public Transport Inter-

change, R2million for CCTV installation in

Goodwood, R4.5 million for the Maitland

Cemetery upgrade, and R2 million for the

Elsieskraal River upgrade (from Elizabeth

Park to JackMuller Park). This investment

is over and above the normal City funded

service delivery allocations to this area and

aims to improve urban conditions and to

unlock a range of investment opportunities

in future. The core belief that underpins

our efforts in this important part of ourmet-

ro is that strategic public spending will en-

courage further development and invest-

ment from the private sector, says Johan

van der Merwe, Mayco member for energy,

environmental and spatial planning.

Our targeted investment drive in infra-

structure and public space upgrades aims

not only to lay a solid and attractive founda-

tion for further private sector investment,

but also shows our commitment to enhanc-

ing the second largest central business dis-

trict area in the metro and its surrounds.

Only through the strong partnerships that

we are seeing in this corridor will we truly

reach the catalytic change that we are envi-

sioning for this zone.

The Integrated City Development Grant,

which is being used to fund this large-scale

investment, provides the eight metropoli-

tan municipalities with incentives to im-

prove spatial development considerations

in their budgeting in support of integrated,

inclusive development that is public trans-

port oriented. To qualify for this grant fund-

ing, cities have to identify integration zones

in which the funding is due to be spent.

From big to small participated in this opportunity to support the community. The scarf

project, named Keep a Child Warm, was organised and run by the student council and

two teachers, Fayrooz Narker and Denise Lamprecht. The 400 scarves will be distributed

at the Kasselsvlei Primary School and Blue Mountains Primary School. From left: Fayrooz

Hockey fundraiser: Following the success of the Kenridge Primary first team boys hockey

fundraiser at the Sioux Spur, Glengarry Centre, on Tuesday 24 May, the first team hockey girls

had their turn on Wednesday 22 June. The girls shadowed the Spur waiters/waitresses and

had great fun serving the guests. The boys challenged the girls to raise more money than they

had, but the boys won by a slight margin. This was a very successful evening, and all money

raised will go towards their tour to Durban this July. The girls will be playing in a hockey festival

at St Annes in Pietermaritzburg, and the boys will be playing in a festival at Hilton College and

Michaelhouse. The first girls hockey team are from left: Kyra Swarts, Tatum Nicolay, Rowan

Pretorius, Mia Kruger, Nicola Middleton and Mieke Campher.

D

ie installering van die eerste van

ses LPR-kameras in Loevenstein

sal hopelik die einde van die

maand klaar wees.

Derhalwe het die inwoners besluit om

op Saterdag 30 Julie n entrepreneur-ek-

spo in die kerksaal van die Evangelies-

Gereformeerde kerk in Uys Krige-ry-

laan te hou.

Die ekspo word in oorleg met die Loe-

venstein-buurtwag gehou en groot opge-

wondenheid heers onder die inwoners,

want die diensverskaffers van die LPR-

kameras is tans besig om die plek voor

te berei waar die eerste kamera opgerig

gaanword.As alles goed gaan, sal die ka-

mera einde vandeesmaand in werking

wees.

Inwoners het reeds in Februarie van-

jaar briewe ontvang waar hulle oor die

projek ingelig is en en ook hoeveel elke

huishouding soumoesbydra.Tot dusver

is R200 000 ingesamel en hoop die inwo-

ners om met die ekspo genoeg geld in te

samel. Die ekspo sal nie net Loevenstein

bemark nie, maar ook die inwoners be-

wusmaak vanwatter impak die LPR-ka-

mers op misdaadvoorkoming in die ge-

bied sal maak, het Hennie Koekemoer,

waarnemende voorsitter van die ge-

meenskapspolisiringsforum in Bellvil-

le, ges.

n Opname is gedoen oor hoeveel die

projek elke huishouding sal kos en in to-

taal moet elkeen R3 000 bydra. n Keuse

is aan elkeen gemaak om soos hulle dit

kan bekostig, die geld in n rekening te

deponeer totdat die totale bedrag afbe-

taal is. Huishoudings het tot 36 maande

tyd om die geld af te betaal en die bedrae

kan wissel van R25 tot R250.

Hier is baie inwonerswat uit hul hui-

se werk, dienste verskaf en oor bouvaar-

dighede beskik, wie se dienste nie alge-

meen bekend is nie. Ons wil met die eks-

po die sakie regstel deur almal aan Jan

Publiek voor te stel. Ons almal is ver-

troud met die gesegde: Trots Suid-Afri-

kaans of Trots Kaaps, dis nou ons beurt

om onsself te bemark as Trots Loeven-

stein, het Arlene Hangone, organiseer-

der van die ekspo, ges. Sy het bygevoeg

dat die ekspo nie net dien om jouself te

kom bemark nie, maar ook om die ge-

meenskap beter te leer ken. Jy kom dalk

agter dat jy baie gemeen het met jou

buurman/vrou wat net om die draai

woon.

Ons wil ook al die inwoners aanmoe-

dig om mekaar te ondersteun met die

dienste wat hulle lewer deur eers goed

plaaslik in Loevenstein te koop, voordat

hulle die internet of mense buite die

woonbuurt gebruik. Ek nooi almal uit

om n tafel of stalletjie te bespreek om

jou onderneming daar aan die res van

die gemeenskap te bemark. Die Loeven-

stein-buurtwag sal die gemeenskap aan-

moedig om jou te ondersteun, want hier

is baie geleentheidsbeplanners, kosver-

skaffers, belastingkenners en kunste-

naars, het sy ges.

Die ekspo is uitsluitlik vir inwoners

van Loevenstein, maar die publiek is

welkom om dit te kom ondersteun. Kos-

stalletjies sal ook beskikbaar wees.

Inwoners word aangeraai om by

www.lcw.org.za te registreer.

Die samewerking tussen die inwo-

ners en die buurtwag in Loevenstein is

n bewys dat as jy saamwerk,word dinge

gedoen, het Koekemoer ges.

V Navrae kan aan Arlene by 078 335 8963 of

per epos na [email protected] gerig word.

AVRIL FILLIES

Skenkings vir truie, mussies,

baadjies en jasse om die win-

terkoue te trotseer, kanbyver-

skeie punte afgelewer word as

deel van MES se Winterhoop-

veldtog wat op 1 Junie begin

het. In Bellville kan jy dit by

MES se kantoor in Davies-

straat gaan aflewer.

Volgens Clarina Hanekom,

woordvoerder vanMES, is die

Winterhoop-veldtog 16 jaar ge-

lede van stapel gestuur om die

publiek aan temoedig omwin-

terklere en nie-bederfbare kos

vir die minderbevoorregtes

gedurende die wintermaande

in te samel.

Klere in n goeie toestand

soos winterjasse, handskoene,

serpe en onderklere maak n

groot verskil in n straatmens

se lewe. Ons help met die ver-

vaardiging van plastiekslaap-

sakke wat uitgedeel word om

hulle nie net warm te hou nie,

maar ook droog, het sy ges.

Die uitreikveldtog is waar-

oor die MES-kultuur gaan,

waar die primre doel is om

die straatmens te ontmoet op

die spesifieke plekwaar hy/sy

tans is.

Die gesprekke watmet hul-

le gevoer word, gee ons kans

omhullemeer vanMES en die

sentrum te vertel waar hulle

gevalueer word. Dis ook

waar die meeste van hulle se

reis met MES begin. Die per-

soon voer n onderhoud met

die maatskaplike werker en

indien nodigword die persoon

verwys vir n tweede onder-

houd, het sy ges.

Sodra die persoon die inna-

mefase deurgegaan het, word

hy/sy weer deur n multi-dis-

siplinre span gevalueer,

waarna n omgee-plan in oor-

leg met die persoon saamge-

stel word.

MESstel dan n individuele

ontwikkelingsplan (IOP) op

om seker te maak dat die om-

gee-plan uitgevoer word. Die

persoon word dan daarna na

die verskillende dienste in die

organisasie verwys as deel

van die intervensie-fase van

die model. Dit alles bemagtig

die persoon of familie om die

nodige oorlewingsvaardighe-

de aan te leer, wat hulle dan in

staat sal stel omhul toekomsti-

ge potensiaal te ontwikkel,

het sy ges.

Op n Facebook-blad, #Ho-

peIsHere, kan jy jou storie

deel.

Geld wat tydens die veldtog

ingesamel word, sal onder die

vier hoofvennote verdeel

word om die dienste wat hulle

bied, te ondersteun. Al die kos

en klere wat ontvang is, sal

verdeelword indie areaswaar

die goedere ingesamel is.

D

ie Winterhoop-projek van

MES in Bellville het nog n

hupstoot gekry toe die Fosch-

ini-groep (TFG) n tjek van R350 000

aan MES oorhandig het.

VolgensArthurMuthari vanMES

is die skenking moontlik gemaak

danksy komberse wat deur Fosch-

ini se vervaardigingsarm, Prestige

Clothing, gemaak is.

Foschini se leuse is: Om goed te

doen, sal nooit uit die mode raak

nie. En by Prestige Clothing, word

werkloses opgelei en nuwe vaardig-

hede aangeleer. Foschini het self n

winterprojek gehad en hulle doel

was om hul bestaande hulpbronne

te kombineer met n gemeenskaps-

projek vir minderbevoorregtes of

diegene wat deur n ramp getref is,

het Robyn Davids van Foschini ge-

s. Derhalwe is besluit om die werk-

loses te leer om komberse te maak.

Sodra die komberse gemaak is,

word dit dan geskenk.

Tydens ons projek het ons die

personeel aangemoedig omdie kom-

berse te koop en dit dan te skenk.

OnshetMESas onsnie-regeringsor-

ganisasie gekies,wat by die verkope

baat sou vind, en het gehoop om ten

minste R50 000 in te samel. Die per-

soneel het ons stoutste verwagtinge

oortref en altesame R350 000 ingesa-

mel. Ons is trots op die personeel,

want hulle het regtig die ware gees

van ubuntu uitgeleef met hul by-

drae. Dit is ook die hoeksteen van

ons kultuur hier by die Foschini-

groepdat jy empatiemoet hmet an-

der wat nie so bevoorreg soos jy is

nie. Die rede waarom ons MES ge-

kieshet, is oordie ongelooflikewerk

wat hulle met en vir straatmense

daagliks in Bellville en Parow

doen, het sy ges.

Die groep se ontwerpspan het die

komberse se materiaal gekoop en

dan is dit aangestuur na die oplei-

dingsentrum in Maitland waar dit

volgens grootte gesny is. Daarna

word die gesnyde komberse vervoer

na Caledon Prestige, waar dit aan-

mekaar gestik word deur diegene

wat opgelei word om komberse te

vervaardig. Sodra die kombers

vervaardig is, word dit by die orga-

nisasie Gift of the Givers afgelewer

en hulle versprei dit dan aan indivi-

due wat deur rampe getref is. Tot op

hede het ons 20 000 komberse ver-

vaardig, maar ons doelwit is om n

bykomende 40 000 komberse voor

die einde van die jaar te vervaardig.

Ons doen regtig ons leuse gestand,

want om goed te doen, sal nooit uit

die mode raak nie, s Robyn.

Loop 44 j. die pad saammet Small

Peter en Sandra Braaf van Bellville wat meer as 40 jaar bevriend was met Adam Small en sy

gesin.

AVRIL FILLIES

P

eter Braaf van Bellville is van die min

mensewat kan s dat hy 44 jaar die pad

saammet Adam Small, die bekende re-

gisseur, dramaturg, digter en dosent van die

Universiteit vanWes-Kaapland,wat onlangs

oorlede is, gestap het. Hulle paaie het in 1972

gekruis toe Peter deel was van die Dramsoc-

vereniging by die UWK en hulle die eerste

keer Adam se verhoogstukKanna hy k hys-

toe opgevoer het.

Wat ek altyd van hom as regisseur en

skrywer sal onthou, is sy benadering en in-

spirasie omeers die diepte van elkekarakter

wat jy vertolk, op n filosofiese manier te

analiseer.Wanneerhydie regisseurwasvan

n produksie, het jy as akteur niemet die ka-

rakter gesimpatiseer nie, maar hom met al

sy tekortkominge uitgebeeld.

Adamwas baie lief virmusiek,maar ver-

al kitaarmusiek, dis hoekom jy in al sy ge-

digte sal opmerk hy praat van n kitaar of

musiek. Hier is Kitaar my kruis of K lat os

sing sprekende voorbeelde van sy liefde vir

albei. Gewyde musiek het hom ook na aan

die hart gel en ons kenmos die gesegde van

Cowboys dont cry, maar hywas nie bang om

sy emosies te wys nie, want dit was deel van

sy kunstenaarstemperament, het Peter ge-

s.

Bekende aktrise

Tot einde Desember verlede jaar het Peter

en sy vrou, Sandra, ook n bekende aktrise,

nog saammetAdamaan n nuwe toneelstuk,

Maria, moeder van God, by sy huis in Heath-

field gewerk.

Terwyl ons aan die toneelstuk gewerk

het, was dit nie ongewoon nie vir Rosie (Ro-

salie, Adam se vrou) om ons te onderbreek

met n voorstel oor hoe om n sekere rol te

vertolk of n verbetering aan te bring. Adam

het vertroue gehad in haar oor as ons op-

voerings in sy huis gehou het. Tussen hulle

het ek n saamwees tussen man en vrou en

vriend en vriendin beleef en gesien, wat ek

nog nrens anders raakgeloop het nie. Dit

was vir my die voorbeeld van hoe ek eendag

teenoor my vrou moes optree en ek hoop ek

was n goeie leerling, het Peter ges.

Wanneer jy Adam by sy huis besoek het,

was hy altyd bly om jou te sien en het jou

by die tuinhekkie kom afsien. Hy het daar

bly staan totdat jy weggery het.

Adamwasmaklik ommee te gesels, al het

hy verskeie hoogtes in sy loopbaan bereik.

Hy het nooit jou voorstelle afgeskiet of ge-

minag nie. Hy sou dit so aanpas dat dit inpas

by dit wat hy eintlik wou s.

Die twee gewyde gesange wat Adam se

trane kon laat vloei, was Nader my God by

U en Byna n Christen, byna n Christen.

Dan het jy die mens Adam Small in al sy

naaktheid gesien, gestroop van voorgee of

omander tevrede te probeer stel. Dis ookhoe

ekhomsal onthou, veral nadat ons die laaste

toneelstuk geskryf het.

Toe hy in 2014 die opvoering van Kanna

in die burgersentrum in Bellville kom by-

woon het, het iemand uit die gehoor hom ge-

vra hoe voel hy nou oor sy lewe. Ek sal sy

antwoord nooit vergeet nie: As jy ouer raak,

leef jy met jou gedagtes en dit hou jou aan

die gang, vertel Peter.

Peter is ook die stigter van die teatergroep

Cape Flats Players (CFP) wat in 1973 die eer-

ste produksie van Adam se gedigte Joanie

Gelant en What about the law as dramas

opgevoer het.

Onshet landwydmet die tweeproduksies

getoer en vir diegene wat nie weet waaroor

dit gaan nie: dit handel oor die verskuiwing

van mense uit Distrik Ses.

Adam het een van ons opvoerings kom

bywoon enhet as skrywer sy hulp aangebied

om saam met die CFP te werk.

Ons het ook voorgeskrewe werke soos

Christmas vanMatt Jacobs by skole gaan op-

voer.

Eerste ondervindings

Een van my eerste ondervindings as re-

gisseur/akteur saammet Adam was toe ons

as deel van die 100-jarige bestaan van dieNG

Kerk virKanna in die ou ysskaatsbaan, nou

Grandwest, opgevoer het. Die destydse mi-

nister Marais Viljoen het die opvoering by-

gewoon. Toe die stuk klaar was, het ons met

Adam aan die voorpunt dit afgesluit met die

sing van Nkosi Sikelele,maar het nie Die

Stem se gedeelte gesing nie en het met ge-

balde vuiste in die gang afgestap na die uit-

gang. Een vrou in die sypaadjie het opge-

staan en ges ons het nou die hele vertoning

bederf met daai singery, want die opvoering

het tot haar gespreek. Dit was ook die eerste

keer dat die volkslied by n opvoering gesing

is, s hy.

Volgens Peter is Adam die twaalfde per-

soonwatmet dieCapeFlats Players gemoeid

was, wat gesterf het. Wyle Melvin (Melly)

Whitebooi, voormalige verslaggewer byMe-

dia24 en dramaskrywer, het ook die paadjie

met Peter-hulle geloop en verskeie dramas

vir die groep geskryf wat oral opgevoer is.

Baie van die opvoerings is deur die destydse

veiligheidspolisie anoniembygewoon en die

spelers en Melvin is daarvan beskuldig dat

hulle protesteater skryf om mense aan te

hits om moeilikheid in die woongebiede te

maak.

Daar is baie om oor Adam te s, maar vir

ons in die teaterwreld sal hymaar altyd net

Kanna vannie Flats wies.

Deur al sy swaarkry as skrywer en dra-

maturg, het hy nooit sy menswaardigheid

verloor nie, en ons jongelinge aangemoedig

om nooit ons talente te begrawe nie, het Pe-

ter ges.

Bellparkleerders ontmoet Gita van 7de Laan: Pascale en Leonard Heil van die

Laerskool Bellpark is van die min kinders in Bellville wat kan spog dat hulle n foto met

Gita (Jo da Silva) van die sepie 7de Laan kon neem. Akteurs van die sepie het Tafelberg

stel.

Een van die graad 12s se voorgeskre-

we werke, Reza de Wet se drama Mis,

ding in n post-depressie-gesin se lewe

in Suid-Afrika, met n pa wat sy toe-

vlug na die dak van die huis geneem

het n hy alles verloor het. Die temas

word op die spits gedryf deur die koms

van n blinde konstabel.

Daar is nie n tekort aan donker hu-

mor in die toneelstuk nie.

Di splinternuwe stuk, aangebied

deur Stercus-Produksies, se rolverde-

ling bestaan uit die bekende Marion

Holm, Wilhelm van der Walt (onlangs

te sien in 7de Laan), Karli Heine (n

Kanna-pryswenner) en Petro van den

Heever met regie deur Gaerin Haupt-

fleisch.

Die produksie poog om as opvoering

n

Koppie tee of n lekker boetiekbier

kan dalk net help om die stad se stres

weg te streel. En as jyweer pure kind

wil voel, is die hedendaagse weergawe van

die foefieslaaid, die zip-line, net die ding om

te probeer.

Mensvoel sommerklaarbeter as jy die ste-

delike landskap verruil vir afwisselende

groen en stoppelbaard-landerye in die ruim-

tes wat so wyd soos die Heer se genade l al-

kant van die N7 noordwaarts. So twee of wat

ure (169 km uit Kaapstad) later kan jy aan

die voet van die gelyknamige pas indraai by

die Piekenierskloof-bergoord in die Ceder-

berge. In Januarie vanjaar het n veldbrand

al sewevandie zip-line-platformsbydie oord

verwoes. Drie van die platforms is intussen

herbou en nou weer oop vir die publiek.

Teen Augustus behoort al sewe weer in ge-

bruik te wees.

Besoekers word uitgerusmet n harnas en

valhelm en die eerste glyslag begin met n

mak gradint oor n dammetjie net sodat jy

darem vertroue kan opbou vir wat nog kom.

Daarna sal dit tussen elke platform bietjie

langer en hor kloof-af oor die boomtoppe

enveld raak.Met twee staalkabels tussendie

platformswaaraan jy op twee punte ingehak

word, is dit baie veiliger as daai foefieslaaid

wat jy toendertyd op n skoolkamp aange-

durf het.

Die katrolmeganisme waaraan jy gly, het

n gemaklike stang waaraan jy met albei

hande vashou, dit dan oplig en gly, aftrek en

rem... so maklik soos dit. Die tydsbereke-

ningmet die remslag as jy die volgende plat-

formnader, komnie ewenatuurlik vir almal

nie, al is daar iemand aan die oorkant wat

beduie wanneer jy remmoet aanslaan. As jy

egter uit oorversigtigheid te haastig rem en

soos n stukwasgoed aan die draad bly hang,

sal een van die plaaslike helpers jou soos n

wafferse Spiderman kom inkatrol.

Jy hoef net agt jaar oud te wees om saam

te gly, wat hierdie n lekker familie-uitstap-

pie kan maak. En oupa en ouma kan maar

saamkom, hul oudste deelnemer tot dusver

was 85, s Natasha van Zyl, die oord se akti-

witeitsbestuurder.

As aan n kabel gly met die hulp van

swaartekrag nie jou koppie tee is soos die

Engelse s nie, ontspan, jy is immers in rooi-

bos-kontrei en my darling, nie te ver van

daar nie, maak hul lekker boetiekbier.

Carmin Rooibos se wye verskeidenheid

rooibostee-mengsels en Darling Brew-mi-

krobrouery se interessante reeks biere met

name soos Rogue Pony en Bone Crusher,

kan hier geproe word.

Ander doen-dinge sluit in skyfskiet met n

windbuks, bergfietsroetes, tuinskaak, mini-

gholf en daar is ook n trampolien, swembad-

dens en n spa.

Die Piekenierskloof-bergoord wat onge-

veer 8 km van Citrusdal af is, is deel van die

West Coast Way-bergroete, n selfry-toeris-

meroete. Di roete begin in Velddrif en via

Insekte keer

konmaak

Hope springs eternal.

Hierdie Alexander Pope-aanhaling het

onlangs by my opgekom toe die ouens

wat my beroof het, binne dae vasgetrek

is. Nie vir die aanval op my nie, maar

tog. Sjoe, dink ek toe, ons polisiediens is

nie so sleg soos mense hulle uitmaak nie.

Uit die aard van my werk word ek baie

met misdaad gekonfronteer, maar meer

as n toeskouer. Iemand wat van buite

inkyk en die situasie net op sigwaarde

beoordeel. Die beweerde onbeholpenheid

van die polisie kan tog nie so erg wees

dat mense eerder hul vertroue in privaat

sekerheidsmaatskappye sal plaas nie? Ons

betaal tog belasting sodat die manne en

vroue in blou ons kan beskerm en dien?

Die spoed waarmee my aanvallers

aangekeer is, het my laat glo dat daar

ook hoop vir ander staatsinstellings is.

Dat die nasionale uitsaaier sal ophou om

sensuur toe te pas en dat sy matrieklose

baas sal waai. Dat ons belerde president

die leisels sal

neerl as hy nog n

greintjie integriteit

oor het.

Ek het begin glo

dat die Springbok-

ke soos die Lions,

en beter nog, soos

die Nieu-Seelanders

sal begin rugby

speel. Dat hulle

kan pass en skop

en tkkel.

Daarna het ek

begin glo dat my

agtjarige klong sy

skoolloopbaan in sy moedertaal kan

voltooi. Dat hy eendag, al is dit net in sy

tuisprovinsie, kan gaan studeer in die

taal wat hy uit moederskoot praat. My

geloof was so sterk dat ek seker was

rassisme, in al sy vorme, kan uitgeroei

word. Dat alle skakerings van ons

renboognasie een gemeenskaplike doel,

om in vrede en harmonie te kan saam-

leef, moet h. Ek het geglo kinders op die

Vlakte hoef nie meer doodgeskiet en

vroue verkrag te word nie.

Dit is meer as n maand n ek beroof

is, die ouens gevang is en n die polisie

ges het ek kan my aanvallers kom

uitken. Die eerste keer kon ek nie gaan

nie, want alle speurders het rusdae

gehad. Die volgende keer was hulle by n

afskeid van n kollega. n Ander keer is

die speurkantore met gif bespuit om

insekte te dood. Hoeveel ander mense het

nie intussen slagoffers van di gewetenlo-

se misdadigers geword nie, terwyl ek

hulle kon uitken? Ek is nie belangriker

as ander slagoffers nie, maar kon n

bydrae maak om boewe van die straat te

kry.

Nobody can deny that

alcoholism has reached

epidemic proportions not

only in SA, but all over the

world.

The amount of man hours

lost to business due to not

pitching up for work on a

Monday being sick is huge

and 99% of the people are

suffering from hangovers.

Kids are not being moni-

tored anymore as to the age

they are served alcohol.

Death on the roads has

reached peak limits due to

drinking and driving.

I think this thing at pubs

and bars offering a happy

hour where for an hour or

so, you can benefit from

drinks being ordered at half

price, is despicable. Patrons

down as much as they can in

the shortest possible time,

then go onto the roads.

Where are the cops to

catch these people before

they start driving?

They know that they are

doing this at these public

houses where drinking is

rampant.

To be inebriated is now

considered cool! No thought

is given to consequences at

all.

If you drink, stay at home

and go to bed in your own

home, or phone Uber!

As n gebruiker van gastoe-

Graag wil ek die polisie van

Bellville bedank vir hul goeie

diens op Woensdag 29 Junie.

In die besonder wil ek

dankie s vir ao. Dippenaar,

die student Ndinisa, asook

kapt. Cloete.

Ek moes n bejaarde vrou

bystaan wat dringend mediese

hulp nodig gehad het, maar

nie n dokter of hospitaal w

besoek nie. Om n lang storie

kort te maak, het ao. Dippe-

naar met haar gepraat en self

saam met haar in die ambu-

lans gery tot by die hospitaal.

Sy het ook saam met die vrou

by die noodgevalle ingegaan.

Nadat die vrou in die

ambulans gelaai is, was my

verwagting dat die polisie se

diens aan die gemeenskap

voltooi is.

Maar nee, ek was aange-

naam verras deur die polisie

se hantering van die saak en

hul bereidwilligheid om die

ekstra myl te loop. Welge-

daan, ek salueer julle!

vir goeie diens

I refer to Peter Smuliks letter

Ignorance over nuclear

tech, TB, 22 June.

Admittedly, the major

problem with nuclear reactors

is what to do with them when

they are shut down. Any

items through which coolants

have flowed for a few decades

will end up heavily contami-

nated with various radio

nuclides, a lot of them with

very long half lives tens of

thousands of years in some

cases. So they dont decay

very quickly.

Like it or not, with all the

reactor plants the world is

going to have many reactor

containment buildings around

for hundreds of years, in

Fukushima cannot

happen atKoeberg

houding vergeet.

As ek die gewone gasverhit-

ter wat ons direk op die

gassilinders skroef, as n

voorbeeld kan noem.

Die belangrikste item, glo

ek, is die rubberwaster op die

nek van die verhitter, waar

sy skroefdraad in die gassilin-

der indraai. Om daardie

waster voor die winter te

vervang behoort jou nie meer

as vyf minute te neem nie. As

daardie kritiese onderdeel,

wat met die tyd kan verbrok-

kel, n gaslekkasie veroor-

saak, bestaan daar n sterk

moontlikheid dat daar n vlam

kan ontstaan met moontlike

duur gevolge en selfs lewens-

verlies.

Sou daar op n dag wel so

n brand by die verhitter/gas-

silinder ontstaan, sou ek s is

die belangrikste om nie

paniekbevange te raak nie.

Stuur onmiddellik kinders uit

die gevaarsone.

Kry jou eggenote se oond-

handskoene en dra die

silinder regop teen n vinnige

pas uit die huis na n veilige

oop ruimte buite die huis en

laat die silinder op sy voet-

stuk staan.

Kry jou naaste tuinslang en

spuit n egalige stroom water

teen die sykante van die

gassilinder om dit heeltyd

koel te hou.

Moet nooit die vlam probeer

blus nie, maar laat dit

uitbrand terwyl jy die silinder

koel hou.

Moet ook nooit die gassilin-

der op sy sy laat l terwyl dit

brand nie.

Baie van ons sou miskien

die grasperk naaste aan die

gesinskamer as n veilige oop

ruimte wou gebruik, maar om

in n panieksituasie met n

oop vlam onder deur n

gordyn te hardloop, kan meer

skade aanrig as om net

iemand te stuur om gou die

voordeur oop te sluit en die

brandende silinder op die

oprit neer te sit en dan koel

te hou.

many cases, before they can

be finally dismantled and

their containment structures

broken up.

But a lot of the problems

about long term storage of

spent fuel elements is finding

sites where the local inhabit-

ants dont come out gasping

Nimby!

To a large extent nuclear

power is so easily misunder-

stood where safety is con-

cerned, and incidents like

Chernobyl and Fukushima

have not made that situation

any better.

Plus, of course, the enthusi-

asm for renewable energy

generating sources, solar and

wind in particular, but for

which the free power source

is largely intermittent ...

There are people who would

like you to believe that what

happened at Fukushima could

happen at Koeberg.

It cannot happen.

As far as I am aware, there

are no earthquake subduction

zones around the Atlantic

seaboard. The only situation

for a real disaster would be

for a large asteroid to hit the

Atlantic Ocean and produce a

wave half a kilometre high,

but that would destroy

everything in its path when it

reached the shore.

Also the reactor types are

quite different. Those at

Koeberg are high pressurised

water reactors, with all the

reactor plant installed in very

strong reinforced concrete

containment buildings. The

Fukushima reactors are

relatively low pressure boiling

water type.

But, really, locating those

emergency diesel generators

below ground demonstrated a

most remarkable lax in design

professionalism. Who by? I

wont speculate!

If those diesel generators

had been installed well above

ground level, we would never

even have heard of Fukushi-

ma.

MIKE LONGDENTHURGOOD

F

our northern suburbs dancers were

among a select group of South Africans

chosen to attend the first ever Red Bull

BC One Camp.

Goodwoods Marcus Mabie, Brackenfells

Shameelah Kinnear and Brandon Peterson

(known as The Curse) and Charl van der

Westhuizen, both from Eerste Rivier, joined

16 other dancers from around the country

for the exclusive training session.

Set in a hideout location away from the

city, the dancers were immersed in lectures

and couch sessions by prominent names on

the international and local scene. These

names include international Red Bull BC

One All-star Roxrite, Rynan Pagui, a mem-

ber of international hip-hop award winning

dance crew the Jabbawockeez, choreogra-

phy legend Somizo Mhlongo and Lorcia

Cooper among others.

Overseas

As the first B-boy to win the Red Bull BC

One South Africa Cypher in 2012 as well as

the first South African B-boy to reach the fi-

nal in the first edition of theRedBull BCOne

Middle East and Africa cypher in Morocco,

Brandon, or The Curse, is no stranger to lo-

cal hip-hop fans.

Surprisingly, he says dancing didnt come

easily to him. Instead hes been honing his

craft since 2011 with dance crews like Hand-

break Turn, Ninja Turtles and Concrete

Apostles.

Charl, whos known as Bboy 9ether on

stage, has been dancingwith the same crews

since 1999 and has also represented South

Africa abroad. One of his highlights in-

cludes taking part in the Battle of The Year

(BOTY) competition in Germany in 2002.

This was also his first trip overseas. Since

then Charl has got a fewmore stamps on his

passport. The entertainer, who also raps

when he isnt dancing, says: This dance, as

a cultural movement, has the power to

change the state that theworld is in. Its part

of a bigger perspective. Its entertaining, ed-

ucational and expressive, which means it

can heal as well.

Its this cultural movement that drew

Shameelah to hip-hopmusic, and eventually

dancing. The freestyle, popping and hip-hop

dancer got to travel to New York, the place

she calls the birthplace of hip-hop in 2012

after winning the first Sprite: Uncontaina-

ble competition.

She alsomade her internationalmovie de-

but that year when she was featured in

House Party 5. Shameelah will be on the big

screen again later this year as one of the core

dancers in the movie Honey 3.

Marcus got his alias, Makes-U-Move, be-

cause of his performance style, but apart

fromhis ability to get peoplemoving, he also

enjoys teaching dance and theatre. He sees

dancing as a means to connect with people.

Markus enjoys the energy he gets from

sharing and interacting with other dancers

and says: There is something special about

collaboratingwith other creative people and

being able to inspire, as well as learn from

each other.

Like Shameelah, hes also had the oppor-

tunity to learn from hip-hop pioneers in

The big apple while living and teaching in

New York in 2007 and 2008.

Later this yearMarcus will tour South Af-

rican dance studios, sharing insights and

lessons fromhis overseas training, but right

now hes at the National Arts Festival in

Grahamstownwhere hes presenting a thea-

tre production titled XX.

Local legends

For the Red Bull BC One Camp Brandon,

Charl, Shameelah and Marcus worked

alongside local legends whowere on hand to

provide them with coaching on everything

from business to nutrition, sports psycholo-

gy and media training.

The camp focused on equipping dancers

with knowledge that goes beyond their craft,

to create a broader understanding of career

growth and self-well-being.

LOUISA STEYL

@lousteyl

Twomusic fans have started a new

project which they hopemight rev-

olutionise the South African live

music industry.

Inspired by an American crowd-

funding campaign, Sea Points

Richard Theunissen and Stuart

Walsh from Parklands recently

launched their website Inbound

Sound.

In a nutshell the website gives

music fans the opportunity to re-

quest the artists they want to see

live in their city.

Stuart and I are big fans of the

Foo Fighters, Richard explains.

We got wind of a concert that was

crowdfunded inAmerica twoyears

ago and that was before it was an-

nounced that they would be com-

ing to South Africa.

At that stage, crowd funding was

still a relatively new concept, and

although its grown generally on a

global scale, Richard points out

that its still relatively new in

SA.

People are a little sceptical.

Generally the first question they

ask is: Why do we need to give our

money away first?, and its under-

standable.

Richard explains that he and

Stuart see their role in the industry

as educators on the benefits of

crowdfunding while empowering

fans to make concerts happen.

He says many music fans seem to

be frustratedwith not being able to

see their favourite acts live.

Inbound Sound allows fans to re-

quest a concert by any artists,

across genres, whether they are lo-

cal or international, commercial

or lesser-known.

Once a concert has been request-

ed, Richard and Stuart, working

with industry insiders, calculate

how much would need to be raised

to set the concert up and the show

is opened to pledges from other

fans who may also want to see the

show.

Fans who pledge a contribution

to the concert have essentially al-

ready bought their tickets and

once enough funds have been

raised, Richard and Stuart will

work with promotors to bring the

act to local shores. We are basical-

ly just providing the platform.

Should they not be able to raise

the funds needed, fans will be able

to get a full refund, making sure

they dont pay for a show they

wont see.

The feedbackweve received [so

far] has been phenomenal, and

thats very encouraging were on

to something that people want.

Whilemany of the shows already

requested on thewebsite are for in-

ternational acts, Richard says:

Were big on local music.

In fact, theyre hoping their first

success story will be staging a

show for a local act.

The local music scene, both

mainstream and niche, is massive,

and we want to tap into that.

The duo are already in talkswith

local artists and while Richard

says itmay take a couple ofmonths

to get the first concert off the

ground, once that first concert

has happened, its basically going

to revolutionise where

and when artists play

locally.

Because they are

dealing with other

peoples money, Stu-

art and Richard were

very focused on mak-

ing sure that every-

thing was above

board and as trans-

parent andopenaspos-

sible when they creat-

ed the website.

Users need to log in

on the site before mak-

ing pledges and Rich-

ard assures that shows

wont be left on a site indefinitely.

If a proposed concert hasnt gained

momentum after a few months,

theyll take the showoff and refund

the users who have pledged. Users

can also request a refund at any

point, should their personal finan-

cial situation changes. Were not

looking to take advantage.

Richard also stresses that In-

bound Sounds core

function is to be a

crowdfunding site.

They want to work

with promotors and

venues, but have no

aspirations of taking

over their roles.

Inbound Sounds

role rather, is giving

fans a voice and a

choice.

Historically

theyve never had a

say, he says of the

acts who travel to

South Africa. All

you need is a lot of

people with the same idea.

Swift Redemption

offers new sound

LOUISA STEYL

@lousteyl

W

hat do you get when you put a group

of musicians from vastly different

musical genres together in one

band?

The answer is northern suburbs A Swift

Redemption who describe their music as

post-grunge alternative rock. Add pro-

gressive guitar riffs and a violin and youll

find a sound reminiscent of early 2000s

bands like Seether, Fuel and System of a

Down, yet still unique.

ASwift Redemption got their start in early

2015 after frontman Stephen Brink-Jones

wrote a song Stand Alone as a tribute to

his brother Michael, who passed away the

year before. Stephen, who has played for a

few local metal bands, realised that he had

a lot of his own material that hed simply

never played before. He always pushed me

to play my music, he says of his brother.

So, with this inmind, he put out a call to find

musicians for anewband. Facebook is your

friend, he jokes.

JoinedbyEmileMaritz on lead guitar, Tri-

cia Theunissen on violin, Cole Grainger on

drums and Christo Bester on bass, A Swift

Redemption set about recording their first

album in October, before playing their first

show in Durbanville in November.

Nostalgia, their 10-track release, was re-

corded and produced by Ruan Jordaan of lo-

cal metal band Megalodon and released in

April this year.

Based on his experiences with previous

bands, Stephen explains that this time

round he wanted to have a product to offer

before they started seriously performing. I

thought that it would be a better idea to have

people actually know what you sound like

before they just come out to see you.

A lot of people, if they really like a song,

they are going to come to a show in anticipa-

tion of that song, he continues, before Tri-

cia adds: And sing along, which is some-

thing theyve experienced at their gigs late-

ly.

Christo describes Nostalgia as pretty

mucheveryadjectiveyoucan thinkof, add-

ing that fans have said they enjoy the diver-

sity of their sound. Tricias violin adds a

unique twist to their brand of rock.

Since releasing Nostalgia, they have been

trying to advertise the band and gig asmuch

as possible.

Theyve released a music video for the

song Save me some while some of their

music has been playlisted on MFM 92.6 and

Zone Radio.

Its nice that the album is out; the hard

work is done, Cole says: Now its basically

just having fun.

He points out that the band has only really

played venues in Durbanville, Bellville and

Observatory so far. We havent really cov-

ered the Western Cape, which is something

we want to do.

Theyll addanewvenue to their list onSat-

urday (9 July) when they share the stage

with Verona Walls and Dustland Express at

The Nameless Pub in Somerset West where

entry costs R30 at the door.

On Saturday 16 July theyll be at Elling-

tons Pool Saloon in Bellville for Day of Re-

membrance 2016, an annual concert Stephen

started after his brothers passing. This year

will see Dig a Pony, Trophy Friend, Addic-

tion Kings, The Signal Rose, Cherry Vinyl,

Nuns or Ninjas and A Swift Redemption on

stage from 17:00 after an open mic session

from 14:00. The cover charge is R40 at the

door.

expressed the need to

adress the Information

and Communucations

Technology (ICT) devide

in South Africa. The

founder and CEO of Tab-

tor, Raj Valli, said he is in

the business of GDP cre-

ation and without edu-

cation society cannot

achieve economic pros-

perity and sustainability.

With Tabtor, we see a

50% improvement in le-

arning speed and a 65%

improvement in answer

accuracy.

The feature that makes

this app unique is that

there is a real tutor avai-

lable for every child to

work with on a one-to-one basis on

the tablet. The tutors review,mark

and provide customised feedback

for every maths worksheet the

child completes. The first step in

the process is for the child to com-

plete a diagnostic assessment whe-

reby their skills will be matched to

the appropriate maths level. The

specialist tutors, many who are re-

tired teachers with a wealth of ex-

perience, are then able to structure

mathsassignments to the individu-

al child.

While the child solves the maths

problems on the tablet with their

finger or stylus the digital

paper technology tracks

each stroke and even cal-

culates the time spend on

each task. Since the tutors

can actually see each step

when they mark the work

they can provide valuable

individual feedback. This

in-depth analysis allows

the tutors to understand

where a learner may be

struggling andneeds inter-

vention. Worksheets con-

tain video tutorials to de-

velop concepts, and tutors

can provide personalised

videos and voice message

to take understanding fur-

ther. Tutors personally

mark and review each

maths worksheet within

24 hours of receiving it and

parents receive a weekly

report to monitor their

childs progress. In additi-

on toworksheets, there are

tests at appropriate mile-

stones to confirm under-

standing of themathemati-

cal concepts before lear-

ners move on to new

material.
