Hier kan gesien word dat

die plakkers nog steeds in

die park woon.

AVRIL FILLIES

D

ie inwoners van Loevenstein het op

Woensdag 22 Junie self ingespring en

diemeeste plakkerrommel en -afval op

die hoek van Jip de Jager en die N1 verwy-

der.

Hullehet dit in oorlegmet die departemen-

te van wetstoepassing en sosiale ontwikke-

ling van die Stad Kaapstad gedoen.

Volgens Hennie Koekemoer, waarnemen-

de voorsitter van die gemeenskapspo-

lisiringsforum, is die rommel en afval ag-

tergelaat deur die plakkers wat hulle tuisge-

maak het op die hoek van Jip de Jager en

die N1 in die rigting van die Paarl.

Ons waarneming is dat die padwerke by

die Jip de Jager-aansluiting nie die bedry-

wighede van hierdie plakkers enigsins ben-

vloed het nie. Hulle het nie verskuif nie en

maak steeds hul kosmaakvure in die sloot

van die park waar hulle bly, het hy ges.

Maar n n week lyk die park weer soos

altyd vol rommel en afval.

Volgenshom is daar ooknie n direkte ver-

band tussen die straatmense en die misdaad

in Loevenstein nie. Die besoedeling van die

park is egter baie ernstig en die Stad Kaap-

stad sal eersdaags weer al die rommel moet

verwyder. Die benadering is deurgaans om

hulp aan te bied vir die herintegrering van

die straatmense met hul families en om hul-

le aan te moedig om die park te verlaat.

Die operasie is opgevolg met n vergade-

ringmet die betrokke amptenare enverteen-

woordigers van die Boston-buurtwag, want

die probleem raak Boston ook, het hy ges.

Ons het besluit dat die huidige interven-

siesmeer gereeld sal voortgaan.Die gemeen-

skappe in die direkte omgewing sal deur hul

buurtwagte aktief druk op die Stad toepas

om meer skeppend aan nuwe oplossings vir

die plakkers te werk. Dis baie duidelik dat

die plakkers verkies om nie na hul families

terug te keer nie en dat die Stad die mense

moet akkommodeer, s Koekemoer.

Benedicta van Minnen, burgemeestersko-

miteelid vir behuising, het by navraag ges

dat talle klagtes oorplakkers en straatmense

word veral in Bellville ontvang.

Wanneer ondersoek ingestel word na

klagtes oor plakkers en plakkershutte, ver-

wyder die plakkers self hul strukture. Die

wetstoepassingdienste help om die afval en

rommel te verwyder, het sy ges.

DESIRE RORKE

@dezzierorke

A

collection of deeply moving photo-

graphs reflecting the real life stories

of special needs children and their

parents, forms the heart of an initiative

started by a well-known local paediatrician.

The Touching the Heart initiative was

launched at a gala event held at Val die Vie

Polo Club on Youth Day.

The paediatrician, Professor Pieter Fou-

rie, who practises from Cape Gate Medicli-

nic, describes the coffee table book by the

same name as just that: a book designed to

touch the hearts of people.

We wanted to show the public the reality

of what these children go through what we

deal with while treating them, the fear and

anxiety they suffer aswell as the sorrowand

worry their parents have to face on a daily

basis, he says.

Fourie is the chief executive officer of the

Daniel and Friends Fund that was started

in 2014 to provide support for such children

and their parents.

This non-profit organisation is the legacy

of little Daniel le Roux (3) who passed away

after a brave fight against the incurable

Leighs syndrome in 2013.

When he suddenly stopped breathing in

September 2012, doctors prepared his par-

ents for the worst and emphasised that

there was no hope.

There was one doctor who gave us

hope, says Daniels mother, Lianie le

Roux, about meeting with Fourie. He was

that someone that we were looking for,

someone that did not give up and was will-

ing to fight with us for Daniels life.

Fourie heard about a new wonder drug

from the USA that was being developed and

tested on children, specifically for Leighs

syndrome. The company approved the use

of EPI 743 on compassionate grounds and

Danil was started on it immediately.

Slowly but surely he started getting bet-

ter and we were overjoyed. There were lots

of setbacks, infections with multi-resistant

organisms, and an emergency operation on

Christmas Eve that nearly cost him his life,

but Danil kept on fighting, with a smile on

his face, says Le Roux.

But despite this improvement Daniel fell

ill with bronchitis on 22 August 2013 and

was admitted to hospital for treatment,

where he unexpectedly died the next day.

The Daniel and Friends Fund came into

being after Fourie challenged a broken

heartedLianie and twoothermothers in the

same position to make a difference.

Nicky de Beers son Sam suffers from Ru-

binstein-Taubi syndrome, cerebral palsy

and autism,while Kate Laurie has two disa-

bled children, Mariel and Liza. They both

suffer from Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome.

Mariel died a week before Daniel, also due

to complications of her syndrome.

As a parent of a special needs child, we

realised how big the need was, says Le

Roux. There is very little support, and you

feel alone and isolated. You sometimes just

want to talk to someone that is in the same

situation that you are. Your family and

friends go on with their normal lives and

it feels like you are being left behind. Be-

cause no one that is not in that situation can

understandwhat it really is about. The feel-

ing of being utterly alone, the thousand

emotions in one day the fear of literally

holding your childs life in your hands.

Since its inception the organisation has

supported 76 families countrywide and

even reached beyond the borders of South

Africawhile supportingaDutch familywho

had to bring their severely disabled sonVic-

tor Goosen to Cape Town for life saving sur-

gery earlier this year.

When completed, the book will contain

some 70 pictures taken at the Tygerberg

Hospital and several other paediatricwards

across Cape Town.

The pictures were taken by Brackenfell

photographer Candice Rodriques.

VERVOLG VAN BLADSY

1

J.P. Smit, burgemeesterskomiteelid vir

veiligheid en sekuriteit, het ges dat die

Stad se departemente van wetstoepassing

en sosiale ontwikkeling in gesprek is met

die straatmense om alternatiewe huisves-

ting vir hulle te kry,maar dit sal n rukkie

duur.

Veldwerkers van die herintegrasie-

eenheid bied hulp aan omdie straatmense

na skuilings in die omgewing te verwys.

Die ideaal sal wees omdie straatmense

met hul families te herenig of hulle terug

te kry in hul gemeenskappe. Ons doen

weekliks operasies in Bellville omklagtes

van plakkers te ondersoek, maar die

meeste van hulle keer eers saans terug,

het hy ges.

Suzette Little, burgemeesterskomitee-

lid vir sosiale en kinderontwikkeling, het

n beroep gedoen op die publiek om nie

geld te gee aandie plakkerswat indie stra-

te bedel nie, want dit is nie die oplossing

nie.

Die publiek kan liewer n R10-skenk

deur die woord give per SMS te stuur na

38802. Hulle kan ook die hulplyn 0800 872

of 201 skakel oor sake rakende straatmen-

se.

Deur geld aan die straatmense te gee,

moedig dit hulle verder aan om perma-

nent op straat te bly.

Skenkings kan ook gemaak word aan

nie-regeringsorganisasies wat n saam-

werk met straatmense, het sy ges.

V Inwoners word aangemoedig om enigemisdaad

by 021 596 1999 aan te meld.

TheCapeTownGemandMineral Clubwill

host their next open day at their clubhouse in

Goede Hoop Street, Bothasig, from 10:00 to

15:00 on Saturday 2 July. Visitors will be able

to browse stones, crystals, minerals, beads

and ready-made jewellery and enquire about

the clubs field trips, courses and activities.

A Louis Vuitton purse, an iPhone, designer

jackets, make-up, as well as R40 000 in cash,

were among the items that were robbed

from the comediant and cabaret singer Na-

tanil this past Saturday at a guest house

on DAria outside Durbanville.

Natanil, who was due to perform at

DAria later that evening, was one of the lat-

est victims of robbery and the incident

caused him to miss his own show.

Another robbery also took place at the

Clara Anna Fontein development site on

Sunday 26 June.

Natanil was taking a nap at the time of

the robbery to recover from bronchitis and

an ear infection, reportedDie Burger. It was

reported that he pretended to be asleep

when he heard people entering his room.

According to Captain Marchell Rhode,

spokesperson of the Durbanville police, the

robbery took place at about 14:30.

While he was sleeping, unknown sus-

pects forced open the front door and gained

excess to the premises. The complainant

heard a female voice and thought it was one

of the cleaning women. Later he heard a

male voice and then got up and saw a man

running out of the house, Rhode said.

They grabbed his jackets, microphone,

shoes, make-up, a Louis Vuitton purse and

iPhone all to the value of more than

R100 000, he said. They also took his pass-

port, identity document anddrivers licence

and theatre bag. The robbers jumped in an

oldwhite bakkiewith an unknown registra-

tion number and sped off, he said.

Die Burger reported Natanil felt very

sick and was shocked after the robbery and

was treated in hospital. By the time he was

discharged, it was long after the starting

time of his show.

. On Sunday at about 10:15, four armed

men entered the Clara Anna Fontein devel-

opment. They robbed a guard of two com-

pressors and fled in a Hyundai bakkie.

D

ie buurtwagte van Aurora, Kendal,

Stellenberg, Stellenridge en Ridge-

worth het op Donderdag 23 Junie in

oorleg met die metropolisie en Bassett-se-

kerheidsmaatskappy motors in Bo-Oakda-

le afgetrek en op gesteelde goedere en

dwelms beslag gel.

Volgens Hennie Groenewald van die se-

kerheidsmaatskappy word sulke operasies

gereeld gedoen veral wanneer verdagte

voertuie of inbrake in die omgewing plaas-

vind.

Ons het vooraf in die operasiekamer by-

mekaar gekom om ons strategie te beplan,

en het naby Stodels geparkeer. Die meeste

motors wat afgetrek is, se motorvoertuigli-

sensies en die bestuurders se rybewyse is

nagegaan. n Verdagte bakkie is in Kendal-

weg vasgeparkeer en die insittendes is

deursoek.Ons konniks onwettigs by die in-

sittendes kry nie, maar daar was n sak toe-

gedraai in n weggooibare babadoek. Die

metropolisie het die sak oopgemaak en die

dwelmkhat daarin gekry, hetGroenewald

ges.

Die eienaar van die sak is in hegtenis ge-

neem en aan die Bellville-polisie oorhan-

dig.

In n ander voorval is n bottelgroen To-

yota afgetrek, gelaaimet gesteelde goedere.

Al drie die insittendes is gearresteer. Die

motor se nommerplaat is deurgegee na die

operasionele kamer en is as gesteel aange-

meld, s hy.

Ek was jare in die polisie, maar ken nie

eintlik die nuwe dwelms wat deesdae op

straat is nie. Ek het al gehoor van khat,

maarmet di operasie het ek dit nou eerste-

hands gesien. Khat lyk soos n beetplant en

die dwelm is eintlik in die blare. Die plant

word gewoonlik in die yskas gebre en as

jy die blare kou, maak dit jou bedwelmd en

begin jy hallusineer. Ek moet erken dis

nogal iets nuuts vir my, het hy bygevoeg.

V Bel Hennie by 074 473 5774 as jy iets verdag in

Bo-Oakdale opmerk.

Buurtwagte behaal groot sukses

So lyk die dwelm khat, wat gekonfiskeer is.

nVerdagte isWoensdag 22 Junie inAndrew

Murray-straat in Bo-Oakdale met gesteelde

goedere vasgetrek.

n Inwoner van Bo-Oakdale het n lid van

die buurtwag gekontak om te kom help toe

hy die verdagte om 03:53 in n agterplaas ge-

sien het terwyl hy op patrollie was.

Rudi Nothnagel, die buurtwaglid, het die

Bassett-sekerheidsmaatskappy gebel vir

ondersteuning en om te komhelp om onder-

soek in te stel. Ernest Gordon van die maat-

skappy het drie minute later opgedaag en is

gewys waar die verdagte laas in die agter-

plaas gesien is. Gordon enNothnagel het on-

dersoek ingestel en opgemerk dat die ver-

dagte oorgespring het in n ander agterplaas

omweg te kom. Die verdagte is gevind waar

hy tussen bossies weggekruip het en is deur

Gordon aangekeer en geboei.

Die verdagte is teruggeneem na Andrew

Murraystraat, waar Gordon se spanmaat,

Pieter Roux, gewag het en die sakke wat by

die verdagte gevind is, is deursoek. In die

sakke was n skootrekenaar, kabels, geld,

sonbrille en ander duur artikels, waarvoor

die verdagte nie rekenskap kon gee nie. Die

Bellville-polisie het kort daarna opgedaag.

oom Hannes, van Oakdale is die oud-

ste lid van die Bo-Oakdale-buurtwag.

Hy glo hy sal oud en moeg raak van niks-

doen as hy net by die huis moet rondsit.

Twee jaar gelede is die buurtwag ge-

stig, maar toe het alles platgeval. Die rede

dat die eerste buurtwag ten gronde gegaan

het, is omdat daar nie eintlik belangstel-

ling van die inwoners was nie. Van die in-

woners hier wil nie betrokke raak om die

buurt te beveilig nie, maar ek het gevoel

dis n naastediens wat ek lewer deur lid

van die buurtwag te word, s hy.

Kwaaddoeners ken elkeen se beweging

in die buurt, weet wanneer patrollies uit-

gaan en weet ook wat in die buurt aan-

gaan.Dit is dus nie toevallig dat daar inge-

breek word by motors of huise nie, want

die kwaaddoeners ken almal se bewe-

gings, s hy.

Ons is baie gou om die dromkrappers

van diemisdaad in ons areas te beskuldig,

maar laat ek jounou vertel, alles hang van

jou gesindheid teenoor hulle af.

As jy hulle mooi vra om die gemors

weer op te tel as hulle in jou drom gekrap

het, sal hulle dit doen. Hulle ken ook al die

buurtwaglede en wanneer ons patrollie

stap, sal hulle jou beleefd groet as oom

of tannie. Voorheen was di aanspreek-

vorm amper soos n vloekwoord, maar dis

nou uit respek dat jy so aangespreek

word, s oom Hannes.

Soms as hulle in die middedorp inko-

pies gaan doen, is hy verbaas as die drom-

krappers vir hom s hy loop darem ver

van sy woongebied.

Hy het dit al oorweeg om die drom-

krappers deel van sy patrollie te maak,

maar dink nog daaroor, skerts hy.

My spanmaat wat nou by my sy vak-

leerlingskap in buurtwag doen, is Ben

Rhode. Hy is nog bloedjonk, want hy het

in Mei eers afgetree. Nou spot die ander

lede en s soort soek soort.

Wanneer ons iets verdags in die buurt

opmerk vreemde motors of onbekendes

bel ons een van die sekerheidsmaatskap-

pye, want jy wil nie van jouself n oorlas

by die polisie maak nie, s oom Hannes.

Hy beskou sy buurtwaglidwerk as ont-

spanning en om in kontakmet andermen-

se te bly. Hy geniet ook die samesyn en

grappies op vergaderings. Hy is gou om te

s hy is nie goed met sy hande nie en ver-

kies om bedags liewer die buurt met sy

hond te patrolleer as om onder sy vrou,

Anna, ook bekend as tannieBaba, se voete

te bly.

Sy spot hoeka deur te s dat ons Kotzes

te dom is omdood te gaan,wantmy oudste

broer is 95 en ek is die jongste op 80. Ons

was sewe kinders en vyf leef nog. My ryk-

dom is my vier kinders twee seuns en

twee dogters en hulle het almal universi-

teitsopleiding ontvang, danksy my spoor-

wegsalaris. Ek het 41 jaar, 1 maand en 10

dae vir die SA Spoorwe, nou Transnet,

gewerk. Die kinders het hul sakgeld aan-

gevul deur as kelners te werk, s hy.

Hy is n boorling van Paleisheuwel

langs dieWeskus en dit was nogal vir hom

n aardigheid toe hy sy horskoolloop-

baan by die Horskool Bellville kom

voortsit het.

Kyk, ek kommos van n plaasskooltjie

en op Paleisheuwel praat ons mos net

Afrikaans. Hier kom ek nou in die grote

stad aan en hoor die vreemde taal, Engels,

wat die ander leerders pouses praat. On-

derwysers het destyds vir die leerders by-

name gegee en omdat ek van die platte-

land kom, wasmy naamVlakhaas of som-

mernetVlakkie. Ekwondernounogof die

onderwysers darem geweet het wat is n

vlakhaas, want hulle was almal van die

stad.Maardeesdaepraat ekookdiekonin-

gin van Engeland se taal, wanneer ek nou

gedwing word om dit te doen, lag hy.

Een van die wyshedewat hy by sy ouers

geleer het, is dat jy s op jou lewenspad

moet beweeg dat jy kan terugloop op jou

spoor, sonder om bang of skaam te wees.

Dit is tot vandag my leuse en daarom

behandel hy n ieder en n elk met mens-

waardigheid, want jy weet nooit wanneer

jy n persoon nodig gaan kry nie.

Op 80 patrolleer hy buurt

e are like dwarfs sitting on the

shoulders of giants. We see more,

and things that are more distant,

than they did, not because our sight is superi-

or or because we are taller than they, but be-

cause they raise us up, and by their great sta-

ture add to ours (John of Salisbury, 12de

eeuse teoloog en skrywer).

Soos bogenoemde wys-

heid van John of Salisbury,

is diemylpaalwatMESmet

sy 30ste bestaansjaar be-

haal het as gevolg van di

wat voor ons nooit die hoop

laat vaar het nie en jaarliks

Sy plan getrou uitgevoer

het. Omhierdie resultate te

behaal, het jy n ongeloofli-

ke span mense nodig

S gesels Ilse Maartens,

takbestuurder van MES,

wat n amper nege jaar die

tuig by MES neergel het.

Die viering skep ook ge-

leentheid om aan ons mis-

lukkings te dink. Dis ook

belangrik, want daaruit

kan ons leer en iets prak-

ties van God se genade beleef! Ek was be-

voorreg omdeel teh aan norganisasiewat

werklik n verskil maak in die lewens van

diemees kwesbares onder ons enwatChris-

tus se transformerende liefde demonstreer.

Die grootste werk is binne my gedoen, s

sy. Volgens haarwas sy uit haar sokkies ge-

sen om onder besondere leiers by MES te

kon werk. Johan Krige het my geleer hoe

om n dienende leier te wees en hoe genade

prakties werk. Fanie Botha het my geleer

om strategies te dink. Rod Botsis het met sy

diepe afhanklikheid van God en oneindige

liefde vir Jesus Christus, my geleer om

nooit te vergeet dat lles oor God gaan nie.

Alan Childs het my geleer oor inspirasie

om nog groter te droom en dink, want dit

is regtig moontlik om daar uit te kom, het

sy ges. Haar kollegas is n wonderlike pot-

pourri van talente en gawes en elkeen het

haar op hul unieke en besonderse manier

verryk n ware Ubuntu-belewenis: ek is,

want hulle is. Ek salueer hulle uit my

hart in diepe dankbaarheid vir hul onbaat-

sugtige diens en liefde vir hul medemens.

Van die straatmense en

vroue wat vasgevang is in

prostitusie het ek die

meeste geleer en danksy

hulle glo ek dat wonder-

werke regtig gebeur.

Mense word genees en

lewens word herstel, s

sy.

Syhet ook geleer dat per-

sepsies feite word, maar

feite kan ook verkeerd

wees. Ek het baie aanna-

mes gehad oor hierdie

dierbares en wat hulle no-

dig het. In my tyd hier by

MES het hierdie groepe

my soveel geleer om baie

van my verkeerde opvat-

tings reg te stel. Hulle het

my n groot stuk nederigheid kom leer

waarvoor ek innig dankbaar is. Daar is al-

tyd iets om voor dankbaar te wees. Maak

nie saak hoe min jy het nie, jy kan dit deel

met ander en jykandankbaarwees, s Ilse.

Sy hoop dat haar MES-familie altyd sal

onthou om die groter prentjie te kan raak-

sien, mense te inspireer om beter te doen,

jouself in iemand anders se skoene te sit en

jouself nooit te ernstig op te neem nie.

Ek hoop dat ons vennote en ondersteu-

ners kon ervaar dat MES waarde kon toe-

voeg, maar enersyds dat MES diep dank-

baar is vir elkeen van hulle se rol in die

stryd teen armoede, s Ilse.

BRENDEN RUITER

@ruitervaniewind

n

Busbestuurder vanRuyterwacht het

die lewe van sy 13 passasiers gered

toehy aanhou ryhet nadat booswigte

n staal paal teen die voorruit van die bus

gegooi het.

Faizel Adams was omstreeks 01:30 op die

N1-snelweg onderweg uit Kaapstad om wer-

kers te gaan aflaai. Naby die Engen-garage

nabyKraaifontein het iemand skielik uit die

bosse te voorskyn gekom. Toe gooi die per-

soon n paal in die rigting van die bus. Die

paal tref toe die kant van die ruit, maar die

skade was nie so erg dat ek nie kon sien nie.

My instink s toe vir my ekmoet nie stop

nie, maar aanhou ry. In daardie oomblik het

ek net aan my passasiers se veiligheid ge-

dink. Ek is seker dieman of symakkers wou

h ek moes stop sodat hulle of die bus kon

steel of ons leed aandoen, s Adams.

Adams s hy is dankbaar dat hulle niks

oorgekom het nie, maar wil tog mense

waarsku wat die pad gebruik.

Ek is seker as die paal die ruit voluit

getref het, was ons in groot moeilikheid.

Dit kon my visie versper het en wie weet

wat kon gebeur. Mense wat in daardie om-

gewing ry moet op hul hoede wees, veral

in die donkerte, s Adams.

Brig. Gerda van Niekerk, woordvoerder

van die Kraaifontein-polisie, s hulle het

nog nie van n soortgelyke voorval gehoor

nie. Ons het al voorvalle gehadwaarmen-

se se motors langs die pad gaan staan het

en hulle dan deur rowers oorval is.

Mense moet nie net op die N1 versigtig

wees nie, maar op alle paaie, veral in die

nag, s Van Niekerk.

Busbestuurder dink

flink en red passasiers

S lyk die bus waarin Faizel Adams gery het nadat iemand n paal daarteen gegooi het.

Die dieper betekenis van die lewe is

die tema van n kursus wat n nuwe le-

raar inDurbanville opDonderdaevan-

af 28 Julie vir jongmense gaan aan-

bied.

Godsdiens en geloof is soms n

moeilike pad om te stap, n mens het

baie vrae en ongemaklikheid op hier-

die pad, s ds. Hanno Ackerman, n

nuwe leraar by die NG Kerk Son-

straal. Ons kyk soms na ander gods-

dienste en wonder of hulle nie werklik

lewe verstaan nie. Hoekom kies ek

dan Christenskap? Dalk is daar nog

vrae in jou eie godsdienstige oortui-

gings wat aan jou kou, s hy.

Wat is die waarde van godsdiens en

geloof in n samelewing of gemeenskap

soos vandag sn? is van die vraewaar-

op lig gewerp sal word.

Die kursus word op vier agtereen-

volgendeDonderdae vanaf 19:00 byOp-

pikoffie in dieGlengarry-sentrumaan-

gebied. Dit is spesifiek gemik op jong

volwasse mense om byeen te kom en

te besin oor hierdie kwessies.

Ons wil jou graag uitnooi om deel

te word van die gesprek. Kommaak n

aandete daarvan, kom drink koffie en

gesels saam. As n jong volwasse per-

soon moes ek self met hierdie vrae

worstel en het ek nie altyd antwoorde

gehad nie, s Ackerman.

Dit kos R150 per persoon vir vier we-

ke, materiaal en koffie of tee ingesluit.

Die restaurant sal oop wees deur die

loop van die aand; kursusgangers kan

dus kos bestel as hulle wil.

T

his week construction is finally un-

derway in anattempt to relieve traf-

fic congestion in Durbanville and

make provision for the rapid develop-

ment in the north.

Transport for Cape Town will spend

approximately R64 million on the exten-

sionof Jip de JagerDrive inDurbanville.

The northern section of Jip de Jager

Drive currently ends a few hundred me-

tres after the intersection with Van Rie-

beeckshof Road. The City will now em-

bark on construction work to extend Jip

de Jager Drive all the way to Racecourse

Road, also known as theM13, in Durban-

ville.

According to Brett Herron, Mayco

member for Transport for Cape Town

(TCT), the contractor will be on site this

week.

People may not notice any physical

construction work during the first few

days as the contractor must prepare the

site and set up a base camp, he says.

The base camp typically consists of

temporary offices from where the site

manager and engineers will work, as

well as changing rooms for the employ-

ees working on site and sanitation facili-

ties, he said.

The extension of Jip de Jager Drive is

part of the Citys Congestion Manage-

ment Programme, which dictates how

TCT, the Citys transport authority, will

spend an additional R750 million over a

period of five years for road infrastruc-

ture projects to alleviate the major pres-

sure points in the city.

According to Herron the new sections

will add an additional 1,7km to the exist-

ing Jip de Jager Drive.

Once completed, the new road will al-

leviate traffic congestion on the other

suburban roads in the Durbanville area

and cater for the increased demand for

road space due to rapid development to

the north, he says.

Furthermore, these new sections will

provide residents with improved access

to residential and commercial areas, as

well as to schools.

The new sections will provide motor-

ists with a more direct route between

Durbanville and the N1 freeway. It will

divert a significant volume of traffic

from Tygerberg Valley and Van Rie-

beeckshof roads.

In fact, once the extension is complet-

ed, the travel distance between Van Rie-

beecks-hof and St John roads will be

shortened by nearly two kilometres,

says Herron.

New traffic signals will be installed at

the intersectionof Jip de JagerDrive and

Tygerberg Valley Road, and at the inter-

section of Jip de Jager Drive and Race-

course Road.

The new northern and southern sec-

tions of Jip de JagerDrivewill be a single

carriageway.However, the intersections

are designed to accommodate a dual car-

riageway in future.

Apart from a universally accessible

walkway and street lighting on one side

of the road, the project also provides for

cycle lanes on the shoulders of the new

sections of Jip de Jager Drive, he says.

Even though traffic should not be se-

verely affected by the roadworks, TCT

anticipates somedisruptions alongRace-

course and Tygerberg Valley roads, but

only a few months down the line when

the construction has reached an ad-

vanced stage.

Any lane closures to accommodate

the roadworks will be limited to off-peak

periods as far as possible. The construc-

tion period is about 14 months, if all goes

according to plan. I want to thank resi-

dents in advance for their patience dur-

ing this period, says Herron.

H

y wil net almal tot bekering bring.

S s Henry Pike, wenner van

2014 se Gospel Talent Search en vol-

tydse pastoor by die De Bron-kerk.

Hyt eers gestoei met die singery (hyt

nie gedinkhyt nwafferse stemnie),maar

toedaarmeevredegemaak. Ekt besef dat

n mens baie keer meer met n vier minu-

te-liedjie kan vermag as met n preek van

45 minute. Mense onthou lirieke. Dink

maar terug aan jou jong dae, al daai lied-

jies wat jy uit jou kop geken het.

Toe hy sien watter impak sy liedjies op

mensehet, het hybesef datGod ook symu-

siek as n medium gebruik ommet mense

te praat.

Nous ek happy met albei. Of ek nou

sing of preek. Solank die boodskap net die

mense bereik, vertel hy.

Henry het n paarmaande gelede sy eer-

ste album vrygestel, wat deel was van sy

pryspakket as Gospel Talent Search-wen-

ner. Die kompetisie is aangebied deur Ty-

gerberg 104fm,TygerBurger enTraxtudio.

Hyt die kompetisie inAugustus 2014 ge-

wen en teen Desember daardie jaar was

al die liedjies klaar geskryf.

So tussendeur die bedienings, bera-

dings en optredes het hulle die liedjies

stuk-stuk in 2015 opgeneem by Traxtudio.

Meeste van die liedjies is preke, wat

Warren Elliott mooi verwerk het. Ons het

die kerngedagtes van die preke gevat en

n melodie bygesit.

Dis n inspirerende, eerlike album di,

net soosHenry self, wat n ver enmoeilike

pad gestap het totdat hy die dag ophou

baklei het en sy hart vir die Here gegee

het.

Henry se eie getuienis kan indie omslag

van die album gelees word. Dis n ver-

stommende verhaal en n bewys

dat die Here n plan met elke

mens se lewe het.

Hyt op Fochville in Noordwes

grootgeword waar hy ook in 2000

gematrikuleer het. Hy was goed

in sport, veral gholf, maar ook n

tipiese rebelse tiener. Ironies ge-

noeg was sy bynaam op skool

Pastoor.

In my hart het ek geweet ekt

n roeping in die lewe, vertel

Henry,maar vir lankhet hy daar-

die roeping onderdruk en aan die

skadukant van die lewe rondbe-

weeg die kant waar drank en

dwelms hoogty gevier het.

Hyt n skool opdiemynebegin

werk en was op twintig die jong-

ste voorman by n myn in die

Noord-Kaap. Hyt hard gewerk

maar ook baie hard gespeel en

baie hard baklei.

Dis toe datTannieLillemore, n

sendeling, sy pad op Northamna-

by Rustenburg kruis. Syt daarheen ge-

trek in opdrag van die Here. Syt hom nie

geoordeel nie, net baie met hom gesels.

Oor die Woord en oor Jesus. Dis sy wat

hom tot bekering gebring het.

Hywas besope en vol dwelms toe Tan-

nie Lillemore een aand met hom gepraat

het en vir hom ges het die Here het n

planmet hom. Terwyl sy gepraat het, het

ek skielik nugter geraak en n encounter

met God gehad. Ek was dadelik sober en

by my verstand en het net daar my hart

vir God gegee. Sulke trips vat gewoonlik

8 tot 13 ure om uit te werk. Ek het besef

die Here het my van dwelms en alkohol

bevry. Dit was radical.

Dit was Tannie Lillemore wat hom by

dieHatfield-opleidingsentrum inPretoria

afgelaai het. Hy is daar as pastoor opgelei,

en het sy vrou, Justine, wat ook teologie

studeer het, daar ontmoet.

Hyt Tannie Lillemore nooit weer ge-

D

ie misbruik van dwelms soos dagga en

tik onder die jeug jonger as 20 jaar, is

een van die grootste poblemewaarmee

Badisa in die Wes-Kaap te doen het.

Die Verenigde Nasies se internasionale

dag teen dwelmmisbruik en onwettige han-

del is Saterdag 26 Junie gevier en die leuse

vir vanjaar se veldtog is Luister eerste.

Volgens Marinda Strydom van Badisa Ty-

gerberg, wil die veldtog die publiek en veral

jongmense bewusmaakvan n internasiona-

le samelewing wat vry is van die afhanklik-

heid van dwelms en hulle ook bewus maak

van die gevare daaraan verbonde.

In Suid-Afrika en veral die Wes-Kaap is

dit kommerwekkend om die hoeveelheid

jeugdiges te sien wat van dwelms afhanklik

is. Die ander groot probleem is die skokken-

de voorkoms van fetale alkoholsindroom en

statistiek toondat tussen 68 tot 89 gevalle per

1 000 geboortes landwyd voorkom.

Ons verwys gewoonlik ons pasinte in

dieWes-Kaap na die Ramot-behandelingsen-

trum in Parow, het sy ges.

Die ander groot probleem in dieWes-Kaap

is die ernstige nagevolge wat alkoholge-

bruik gedurende swangeskap inhou.

Dit veroorsaak leerprobleme, kenmerken-

de gesigmisvorming, skade aan die senu-

weestelsel, organe en ledemate wat by hier-

die kinders vir die res van hulle lewe bly.

Volgens die Suid-Afrikaanse Epidemiolo-

gienetwerk van Dwelmgebruik (Sacendu) is

dagga steeds die mees algemene dwelm wat

onder die jeug gebruik word; tik bly die

tweede gewildste middel en bruin mans is

die grootste aantal pasinte wat opgeneem

word vir behandeling vir hoofsaaklik dagga,

inhaleermiddels en heroen.

Ramot bedien tans 400 pasinte per jaar en

bestaan al die afgelope 51 jaar. Slegs 100 van

hul bedkapasiteit van 400 word deur die de-

partement van maatskaplike ontwikkeling

befonds, wat beteken dat die balans van die

pasinte privaat befonds moet word. Hulle

het dus n glyskaal volgens inkomste gem-

plementeer vir pasinte wat nie kwalifiseer

vir n staatsubsidie nie, het sy ges.

LEWENSKIEKIE

Teach young

ones to

fall in love

I sat upright with my legs dangling over

the edge of the seat, my tiny hands

fidgeted in anticipation. The lights went

down, the curtains opened, the action

started and I was in love.

I must have been about six or seven

years old when my Oumie took me to see

my first theatre production. In those days

options were limited, but every school

holiday my gran would drive me off to

The Baxter Theatre to see the latest

childrens piece.

It was the beginning of a long and very

beneficial love affair.

You see, my love of theatre opened a

whole new world to me.

I have travelled to prohibition-era

American prison cells in Chicago, to

Paris with Phantom of the Opera, to

exotic Africa with Postcard from Morocco,

experienced Russian folklore with Swan

Lake and 15th Century England with

Shakespeares Richard III.

The theatre

unlocked my

imagination and

introduced me to a

world of fantasy

that allowed me to

experience stories,

music and beautiful

imagery that would

often stay with me

long after I left the

venue.

But, sometimes

when I speak to

people, I realise

that many still see

the theatre as an exclusive experience,

despite the fact that the vibrant arts

culture in Cape Town lends itself to far

more inclusivity than ever before.

This winter school holiday, for exam-

ple, sees a great number of childrens

theatre productions on offer around Cape

Town.

Then theres all the community theatre

initiatives going on around the northern

suburbs from the Milnerton Players to

the youth-driven Project 021.

And, if theatre isnt your thing, the

stand-up comedy and magic industries

are both on the rise.

Add the huge number of live music

events in TygerBurgers weekly Whats

On diary and Capetonians really are

spoilt for choice when it comes to

entertainment even during the tradi-

tionally quiet winter months.

A wise producer once told me that

audiences need to be developed. We need

to expose young audiences to the stage in

order to cultivate theatre-going adults.

So, why not take a child to the theatre

this holiday? You might just prompt a

life-long love affair. Louisa Steyl

Peter Smulik puts two

questions concerning the

operation of nuclear power

stations (Ignorance over

nuclear tech, TB, 22 June).

One, insurance cover in

the event of a release of

nuclear particles due to an

uncontrolled event, accident,

or an operating error due to

staff incompetence or con-

struction errors.

At Chernobyl it was staff

doing procedures in an

unsafe reactor, and at

Winscale, sensors wrongly

positioned, resulting in a fire

in the graphite reactor core.

That type of fire in graph-

ite becomes self sustaining.

The Japanese event was

caused by a natural event,

which caused the flooding of

the cooling pump emergency

diesel generators, as the

normal power for them had

been lost with the destruc-

tion of the normal grid

supplied by turbo-alternators.

With regard to the insur-

ance for such an event, and

claims by the nearby and

affected residents, he should

attend the Public Safety

Information Forum, which

will supply him with the

information required.

These he can extend to

cover the demolition of the

power plant, when its useful

life has finally expired. He

can also request for special-

ist speakers to lecture on

such subjects. If Eskom can

find such a willing person,

then he can be asked.

What he should bear in

mind, is that he should be

more afraid of what is

happening to our food than

from nuclear waste (a

personal comment!).

We have a situation in a

small community up the

West Coast, where the

prediabetic and diabetic

incidence is one person in

Chemicals in

sewe weke buite werking

Dit is aangemeld en hulle

het my duidelik laat verstaan

dat as die fout aan my kant

is, daar kostes sal wees.

N vier weke het daar n

tegnikus gekom en bevestig

dat die fout aan hulle kant is,

maar dis nie sy afdeling nie.

Hy het ges hy sal dadelik n

e-pos stuur.

mer gekry. Elke keer s hulle

I thought I might comment on

the new fence that is being

put up for the parking lot in

front of the Durbanville

municipal building.

While it is an eye sore, it

seems necessary as my car

was tampered with last week

when I parked it there for an

hour. The door lock was

forced but luckily not opened.

It is a shame that a large

fence now has to be built to

keep crime out of the lot, but

I appreciate the effort made to

make it a safer place to park.

ANDRE CRAYE

Goedemoed

Its an eyesore, but

much appreciated

three. At the turn of the

century 1800s to 1900s the

world wide cancer incidence

was one person in every one

hundred and fifty. Now it is

one in five. Why?

Traces of the active chemi-

cal in the herbicide Round Up

are now being found in the

cotton wool used in female

hygiene products, made of

cotton from genetically

modified cotton plants.

Perhaps the human seed

should be genetically modified

to accept Round Up and the

insecticide BT?

This genetic modifying of

plant material is not done to

improve the nutritional value

of the plant, but to make it

immune to the application of

definitive herbicides or

insecticides. The insecticide

BT is also put into the genetic

make-up of the plant. We, the

populus, are pursuaded to eat

this evilly contrived junk in

the interests of worldwide

food sustainability. Great

lobbying phrase used on

governments ...

We have already had DDT,

Thalidymide, and various

other evil chemicals banned.

Some, although banned, are

still being used!

It seems we are being

committed to a chemical

death and not a nuclear one!

Nuclear waste degenerates,

but hard chemicals do not!

The pebble bed reactor

burned up nuclear waste as

does the latest version of the

nuclear salt reactor. Both are

1950s technology. Google

Trans Atomic Power for the

latest design of the nuclear

salt reactor.

The PSIF is set up for the

residents in the 5km and

16km evacuation zones. But

outsiders are more than

welcome.

We have had all sorts of

interesting visitors, local

residents, to an ex-nuclear

submarine nuclear engineer,

to me, who had been involved

in the first nuclear power

stations built in the UK,

albeit in a nut and bolt

tightening capacity.

wees van salmonella.

In ons geval het ons drie

eende waarvoor ons baie lief

is, in ons erf aangehou. Die

eende se teenwoordigheid het

in terugskouing ook n rol

gespeel in die vrektes van die

lemoenduifies.

Voor enige ernstige gevolg-

trekkings gemaak word, moet

genoem word dat die draer

van die kwaad die eende se

mis is wanneer dit met water

in aanraking kom. Dit mag

ook die speeksel insluit. Dit is

indien n vol wel n draer

van salmonella is.

Daarom is dit wys om eende

in n stadsomgewing se swem-

en drinkwater in n geslote

omgewing te hou waar duiwe

nie toegang het nie.

Wie sou kon dink dat die

badwater waarin ons eende

geswem het en op die gras

uitgetap is, verantwoordelik

was vir die duifies se dood toe

hulle hul kos opgepik en

water gedrink het? Die

bevinding is deur n persoon

by Panorama Petshop beves-

tig.

Dit sal wonderlik wees as n

volkenner of persone met

dieselfde gewaarwording, dit

kan beaam.

O

nWednesday 22 June, the Kenridge cross

country team hosted their annual charity

run at Kenridge Primary to raise funds

for three-year-old Mason van Dyk.

Mason suffers from a rare life-threatening

skin disorder known as Harlequin Ichthyosis.

He was born with thick plates of skin cover-

ing his face and body. His face and eyes were

pulled taut and his left hand was deformed. His

body rejected his barely formed right hand and

auto amputated it, said Jenny Fisher, organis-

er of the event. Masonwas not expected to live,

but he is a fighter and has just celebrated his

third birthday. The costs to keep Mason com-

fortable, mobile and healthy are astronomical,

and the Kenridge pupils decided they wanted to

dedicate 60 minutes of their time helping him.

In 2011 the cross country captain, EmmaRoss-

ouw, initiated this worthy cause by requesting

they run to raise funds for people and children

who do not have the same freedom ofmovement

they have, and in doing so, giving them a better

chance of living more fulfilling lives.

The learners from Grade 1 to 7, as well as

many of the teachers, came out in their masses,

full of the Kenridge spirit for which they are

known, and ranup a storm forMason. LittleMa-

son was present and loved meeting the children

and the attention that was lavished on him.

It was a special moment when he said thank

you to all of the runners over the microphone.

When asked if he would attend Kenridge Prima-

ry one day, just like his mom, Lisa, he became

very excited and exclaimed: Yes!

f you look after your business,

your business will look after

you.

This is themotto of a young 76-year-old

Mickey Radowsky, co-owner of Textile &

Towel in Willowbridge which opened

two weeks ago.

Mickeys retail career started in 1962

at Universal Stores, a family credit cloth-

ing chain. Mickey has also owned vari-

ous Cardies and a Cash Converters fran-

chises. In 1972 he joined Western Prov-

ince Hardware which, by the time he left

as managing director, was a chain of 15

shops. In 1983 he joined Monex Develop-

ment and worked on the construction

and opening of the Tyger Valley Shop-

ping Centre which opened in 1985 with

Mickey as the general manager, a posi-

tion he held for nine years.

Subsequently, from 1998, he was again

involvedwithMonex in the development

and construction of Canal Walk, where

heheld thepositionofmanagingdirector

until that centre was sold to its present

owners in 2003. From that time, until

2014, Mickey has practised as a retail

leasing consultant to both retailers and

shopping centre owners.

At 75 years old, his second marriage

was to Diana, who owns a textile store.

As a result of his involvement with her

business, he saw an opportunity for him-

self in buying and selling short lengths

of fabric which he did informally for two

years. During this time he met John Dos

Santos, the towel half of the business.

It occurred to me that by extending

the range and quality of our offering we

could provide the Willowbridge shopper

with top quality branded textiles and

towels. I put this idea to John who saw

the merits and bought into the concept

enthusiastically. It is ourmission to pro-

vide quality products that represent

great value, says Mickey.

John was working for a publishing

company in Observatory and was told at

62 years old that he should leave as per

company policy.

My late wife, Claudia, said I neednt

worry and that Ill eventually find some-

thing. So when I left the publishing com-

pany I put onmy thinking cap and decid-

ed to concentrate on something that is

used daily, and that is how I started trad-

ing Glodina towels from the side of Bos-

mansdam Road and the flea market in

Milnerton. I met Mickey and as the say-

ing goes, the rest is history, says John.

Mickey knew Tyger Valley well and

when they started to look for premises

they opted for Willowbridge Mall.

The reasons for our decision were

that it was a good area, well established,

the residents in Tyger Valley are still

working and have a monthly income,

their homes are paid for and the ladies

love to shop. By word of mouth patrons

are entering the shop, says John.

The name of the shop is self explanato-

ry and their towels are useful gifts for ev-

ery occasion.

We keep a full range of towels in all

sizes and even a range of baby sets. We

recommend upholsterers, curtain mak-

ers and people that can cover lamp-

shades and make cushion slips. Each

looks after their own business and the

best part of the venture is that we know

the commodity inside out. When I dont

know something, I Google it. Since we

started the shop we both lost weight

gone are the days of snacking the whole

day; we are too busy seeing to the needs

of our customers, said John.

Winelands Toastmasters recently held a

youth event where children aged between

five and 13 learnedmore about the organisa-

tion and also got first-hand experience of

speaking in public.

Goodwood, Fish Hoek and Newlands. Six of

the children gave prepared speeches on the

theme Animals. Speech titles covered a

wide spectrum ranging from cat whiskers,

koala bears, Indian rhinoceros and even im-

aginary animals.

The Table TopicsMaster, James Hurford,

then brought in a bag of balloons.

The children had to choose a balloon, pop

it and find the speech topic inside the bal-

loon.

Not only did the children deliver speech-

es, but they also shadowed the normal

Toastmaster roles. Josh Brown shadowed

the ah counter, Chloe van der Merwe shad-

owed the grammarian, Kammel Naidoo as-

sisted the time keeper, Aidan Strydom par-

ticipated as Sergeant At Arms as well as

JokeMaster, andRebeccaBrownhelped the
