WE TRACE THE LAST FEWDAYSOFAN ‘UNKNOWN’ DYINGMAN

Dyingdaysathospital

Patients waiting outside theHelderberg Hospital’s Emergency Ward. The ward on theinside was full when this photograph was taken at middayon Wednesday 5 November.

This photograph of William Abrahams, lying on the floor ofthe Emergency Unit at the Helderberg Hospital, was taken at06:50 on Thursday 23 October, a day before the hospital informed his family that he had died.

Willie Abrahams died in theHelderberg Hospital twoweeks ago. He had allegedlynot been attended to.

DELIAH BRINKHUIS

His photo was published on District-Mail’s front page last week as he layon a duvet on the floor of the Helder-berg Hospital, his face covered inblood.

But the 42-year-old William Abra-hams, a Sir Lowry’s Pass resident, wasalready dead at the time the newspaperwas published. He apparently died afternearly a week in the hospital withouttreatment.

A DistrictMail reader, Monique Car-else, had taken the photo of Abrahamsand sent it in because she had seen himlying in the same position on the hospi-tal’s Emergency Unit floor for nearly 12hours.

Abrahams had been taken to the Hel-derberg Hospital on Monday 20 October.

Accordingtohis family,hespent threedays outside the system, never being ad-mittedfortreatment,beforetheywerein-formed on Friday that he had died.DistrictMail traced Abrahams’s last

days at the hospital:) Monday 20 October: Abrahams was

admitted to thehospitalbyambulanceat21:00. When his family left the hospitaljust after midnight, he was lying in theEmergencyUnitonthebedtheparamed-ics had left him on.

) Tuesday 21 October: Abrahams’sfamilyfoundhimintheparkingarea,puthim into a wheelchair and wheeled himbackinto thehospital. In theEmergencyUnit, a nurse said, “So this is the mancrawling around the hospital the wholenight that you were looking for!”

) Wednesday 22 October: The familywenttotheEmergencyUnittovisitAbra-hams at 19:00, and again they could notfindhim.Theyfoundhimattheentranceof the ward, slouched against the securi-tygate.Theygavehimtheduvettheyhadbrought for him – the one he was photo-graphedwithandeventuallyappearedinthe DistrictMail with.

They asked for a wheelchair andplacedhimin it.Theywonderedwhyhiswoundhadnotbeenattended toandwhy

his face was still covered in blood. Hissister told staff that she would washAbrahams herself the following day.

) Thursday 23 October: DistrictMailreader Monique Carelse photographsAbrahams lyingon the floor at 06:50. Shesends the photo to the DistrictMail at08:30while still at thehospital, andnotesthathe is still lyingonthe floorwhensheleaves at 11:00. Meanwhile, the hospitalhas phoned the family just after 08:00 totell her that they need not visit Abra-hams that day, as he is to be transferredto Tygerberg Hospital.

) Friday 24 October: The hospitalphones the family at 11:00 that morning,asking that they come to the hospital. Adoctor tells them Abrahams had ad-vancedmouthcancerandwasbookedin-to Helderberg Hospice, but had diedwhile a nurse was cleaning him.

However, Patricia McNaught-Davis,spokesperson for Helderberg Hospice,toldDistrictMailthattheyhavenorecordof a referral for William Abrahams.

Beverly Carelse, Abrahams’s sister,says the family did not know he hadmouth cancer. They took him to the hos-pital because he had a bleeding woundon his tongue that had become infectedafter an alleged epileptic fit a month be-fore.

He had not eaten properly for weeksand was too weak to walk.

She says her brother deserved bettertreatment, “especially if it is true that hehad mouth cancer”. “Perhaps theythought he was nothing, because of hisappearance,” she says.

She says the family did wonder whyhe was not in a bed, and she asked forAbrahams’s file twice, but staff told herthat the file is “with the doctor”.

“Willie would have had a more digni-fied death at home than what he had inthe Helderberg Hospital,” says Carelse.

Hélène Rossouw, spokesperson forWestern Cape health minister TheunsBotha, said that they cannot comment atpresent as the incident is still being in-vestigated. She undertook to providecomment once the investigation hadbeen concluded.

Towtrucks raise resident’s ireJAMEY GORDON

ADistrictMail reader has taken photos oftow trucks apparently aggravating trafficflowaroundanaccidentscene inSomersetWest on Monday.

One of the images shows the tow trucks ofthree local towing services –N2Towing, Steyland En Route. Two En Route tow trucks canbe seenparked in the road, blocking two lanesof traffic at the intersection ofMain andLour-ensford Road.The Helderberg resident, who prefers to re-

mainanonymous,saysthewaytowtruckdriv-ers speed is “ridiculous” and getting out ofhand.Theresident explainshowhewitnessedthree tow trucks speed up Bright Street inSomerset West in a race to try get to the acci-dent scene first.According to Sergeant Suzan Jantjies,

spokesperson for the Somerset West Police,the accident occurred at 15:50 on Mondaywhen a car that jumped a red traffic light col-lided with another car travelling in the direc-tion of Lourensford Road.No-one was seriously injured. The resident

explains that the En Route tow truck camespeeding up the street into oncoming trafficto be at the accident scene first.Another reader, Pippa Malherbe, also con-

tacted the DistrictMail and says she was re-versingoutofaparkingbay in thestreetwhenan En Route tow truck came speeding intooncoming traffic. Malherbe says fortunatelyshe sawwhatwashappening and slammedonher brakes.Malherbe says she confronted the driver of

the tow truck, but said he apparently couldn’tbe bothered listening to her.Meanwhile the Steyl and N2 Towing trucks

had come to a standstill in the middle of theintersection, says the resident. This allegedlycaused traffic to come to a halt and preventedotheremergencyvehicles fromgainingaccessto the accident scene. He says the drivers of

the tow trucks onlymoved their vehicles afterthey had inspected the accident scene.“The drivers of the Steyl and N2 Towing

trucks parked their vehicles on the side of theroad, but not En Route,” says the resident.After a second En Route tow truck arrived

on the scene, both tow trucks blocked off twotraffic lanes for more than 20 minutes, saysthe resident.“Why do they think they have the right to

stop their bakkies in the middle of the roadand hold up traffic? Just because they havelights on the roofs of their bakkies, does notmean that the road rules and regulations donot apply to them. They put so many lives atrisk when they speed on roads.”According to Inspector Maxine Jordaan,

spokesperson forTrafficServices,non-officialand non-emergency vehicles have to complywith legislation governing the general rulesof the road, and are not exempt from this inany way. Jordaan adds that all tow trucksmust be fitted with amber lights that have tobe used at all times when towing a vehicle.DistrictMail tried on numerous occasions

to obtain comment from owner and managerof En Route Towing, to no avail.JeanSteyl,ownerofSteylBreakdownServi-

ces, admitted that hewas the driver of the towtruck that had sped to the accident scene thatday, and witnessed the En Route tow truckspeeding into oncoming traffic to get to thesame scene. Steyl explains that it is no secretthat tow trucks speed to accident scenes, butthat they try to do so in a law-abidingmanner.Jean Meyer, owner of N2 Towing, told the

DistrictMailheisnotawareoftheincidentandtherefore could not comment.

This image shows the tow trucks of three local towing services, N2 Towing, Steyl and EnRoute. Two En Route tow trucks can be seen parked in the road, blocking two lanes of traffic.

Lwandle evictions report discussedParliament’s human settle-ments portfolio committeehad the opportunity to “quiz”the Department of HumanSettlements on Tuesday 4 No-vemberaboutthereportof theministerial inquiry into theLwandle evictions.This follows after the re-

port, which revealed that theevictions were “illegal”, wassubmitted to the committeebyHumanSettlementsMinis-ter Lindiwe Sisulu on Thurs-day 23 October. While outlin-ing its findings, Sisulu saidthat Sanral and the City, aswell as the Sheriff of Strand,SAPS and the law enforce-ment agencies of the City“knowingly conspired” and

effected the eviction.The report stated that al-

though Sanral had obtainedan interim court order to pre-vent imminent invasions inJanuary, it was not an evic-tion order and did not autho-rise Sanral to effect an evic-tion.Thecourtorder prevent-ed further land invasiononly,and did not authorise the re-moval of people or structuresalready erected on the land.The report confirmed that

the Sanral-owned land in As-anda Village was unlawfullyoccupied and briefly outlinedthe recommendation toamend the Prevention of Ille-gal Eviction (PIE) Act, to beprocessed by Parliament.

Foulplay suspected indisappearanceofgeeseJAMEY GORDON

Aresidentof theLaVistasecuritycomplex in Somerset West sus-pects a fellow resident has beenshooting Egyptian geese on thepremises.

According to Mia Broekman, thecomplex’s gardenerhasalreadybur-ied four of these geese.She believes the resident has been

killing Egyptian geese for the pastmonth simply because they maketoo much noise.Broekman explains that Egyptian

geese would often visit the dam be-low her house.She says that in the seven years

she has been living at the complex,she became used to the presence ofone particular gaggle that had pro-duced several batches of goslingsover the years.Now, according to Broekman, on-

ly the gander remains.She also knows of an incident

where two Egyptian geese were sit-ting in the swimmingpool enclosurewhen they were shot from nearby.Shenowdescribestheatmosphere

at the pond as “very quiet” since thenoisethebirdsweremakinghasdieddown – detracting somewhat fromthe otherwise sylvan setting.Broekman says she has reported

the matter to the police as well as tothe chairperson of the board of trus-tees, Dr Gareth Arnott.Arnott told DistrictMail that he

does not know for a fact that a resi-dent in the complex is shooting the

birds. He says this allegation is onlyhearsay and that the complex sur-rounds a dam, which is municipalground.He says thatwhat happens on that

ground is beyond the scope of the in-volvement of the trustees.Furthermore, Arnott says that

they have a “sophisticated” What-sapp group for reporting any dis-turbances (used for rapid reportingfor suspicious or criminal behav-iour, alarmssounding, andso forth).He says no one has heard any fire-armbeingdischarged. “Inacomplexof our size, it would be impossible tohide this. Thus it is extremely un-likely that a firearm has been usedin or on the grounds,” says Arnott.According toWanikaDavids, pub-

lic relations officer for the Cape ofGoodHopeSPCA, thematterwas in-vestigated by the SPCA.However, no evidence was found

to leadthemtoaperpetrator,asnoneof the neighbours witnessed the al-leged incident.“Therewerenobodies forus to ex-

amine and a lot of different accountsof what had actually happenedwereheard.With no further evidence, wecannotproceedanyfurtherwiththiscase,” says Davids.Davids explains that if a perpetra-

tor is found, the SPCA will presscharges of animal cruelty under theAnimal Protection Act of 1962. If aperpetrator is foundguilty,heor shecould facepossible imprisonment ora fine.

And although most peoplecan only look at the price tagsof these mansions in awe, afew South Africans are fork-ing out cash to live in the lapof luxury.

One of these extravagantproperties currently on themarket is the famous rotatinghouse in Spanish Farm, designed byCape Town architect RaymondAlex-ander to follow the sun’s rays.

Often labelled the most unusualhouse in theHelderberg, the rotatinghouse, namedGaliläi, features a slid-ing bridge that is the only entranceinto the property, and an upper levelthat can rotate 360 degrees in half anhour.

It featuresseveraldomeswithhighceilings and is rumoured to have a

view all the way to Robben Island.ForamereR10 millionyoucanbuy

the top two storeys of the Kuriakebuilding inBeachRoad, Strand. Thisfour-bedroompenthouse offers floor-to-ceiling windows, affording allrooms a full sea-view.

For the buyer who is interested in

thehistorical treasuresof theHelder-berg,a lifestyle farmwithahistoricalmanor house, a four-bedroom man-ager’s house, cottages and stableswill set you back R11 million.

In Somerset West, a “Bali styled”colonial home in Golden Acres thatticks all the boxes for luxury livingis priced at R16,5 million.

According to Edelweiss Hankeyfrom Pam Golding Properties, mostbuyers of high-end properties make

cashtransactions. Shesays therearebonds available for those with goodcredit, but currently the trend seemsto indicate a preference for cash pur-chases. She says last month she soldfive properties priced betweenR1,6 and R7 million, four of whichwere bought for cash.

Shesaysinterest inhigh-endproperties is picking up, withmost of the potential buyerscoming from Gauteng.

She says Spanish Farm iswithout a doubt the most ex-pensive suburb in the Helder-berg and she is marketing onehouse in this leafy green sub-urb for R15,6 million.

Alten Vermaak, propertyconsultant for Seeff in Strand,agrees thatmost of the interestin high-end apartments inStrand comes from “up coun-try”.He says these apartments

remainon themarket fora long time,because interest in these propertiesis very small.

Carl Nagel, who manages the resi-dential team at Chas Everitt, saysSpanish Farm, Erinvale and Na-ture’s Valley have the most expen-sive houses in the Helderberg. Hesays sales in thehigh-endmarket arepickingupswiftly,withmost comingfromGauteng,with theoddforeigneralso showing interest.

The famous revolving house in Spanish Farm is currently on the marketfor R25 million.

This fourbedroom house in Golden Acre, Somerset West will set you back a mere R16,5 million.

The Kuriake penthouse in Beach Road, S strandis selling for more than R10 million.

Die Strand sentrale opgraderingsgebied(SOG) is besig om momentum te kry metdie aanstelling van vier openbare veilig-heidsbeamptes wat ’n plaaslike besigheidreeds met twee insidente van winkeldief-stal bygestaan het.

Die openbare veiligheidsbeamptes van Se-cure Rite het hul pligte om die Strand-sake-kern te patrolleer, amptelik op 15 Oktober op-geneem.Die opgraderingsgebied is vroeër vanjaar

deur die Stad Kaapstad goedgekeur en vereisdat eiendomseienaars bykomende eiendoms-belasting aan die Stad Kaapstad moet betaalom sodoende bykomende dienste vir hierdiegebied te ontvang.Gene Lohrenz, eienaar van Geosentric wat

die Strand SOG bestuur, sê die veiligheidsbe-amptes het op 28 en 29 Oktober ’n winkel indie sakekern bygestaan toe daar twee gevallevan winkeldiefstal was. Die veiligheidsbe-amptes het ook ’n vermeende dwelmhande-laar op 21 Oktober vasgekeer en die verdagteaan die Strand-polisie oorhandig.In ’n ander geval het die veiligheidsbeamp-

NGOs moontlik in die sakekern te ontmoeten te sien hoe ons ’n sosiale program kan be-plan en begin.”Hy sê die konsep word baie goed in ander

opgraderingsgebiede toegepas.“Ná slegs ’n halwe maand dink ek is die

Strand SOG is besig om sy voete goed te vind.Kontak is reeds gemaak met talle besighedein die gebied en hulp word verleen waarmoontlik.”Nog werk wat deur die vier veiligheidsbe-

Trokke ‘wettig’inwoonbuurtDELIAH BRINKHUIS

Inwoners van Hammondstraat, Strand hetonlangs’npetisiebydieStadKaapstadinge-dienteen’nvervoermaatskappy,GGHeavyHaulage, wat hier ’n besigheid bedryf.

Dieinwonersopperreedsvierjaardievolgen-de besware: rusverstoring, verkeersontwrig-ting en die veiligheidsrisiko wat die trokke virinwonersenvoetgangers indiewoongebied, in-sluitend die leerders van die nabygeleë laer-skool, Strand Moslem Primêr, inhou.

Dit lyk egter of die inwoners nog ’n lang padsalmoetloopvoorhulgriewedieverlangdeaan-dag geniet: die Stadsbestuurder Achmat Ebra-him sê hy het nie ’n petisie op 27 Augustus ont-vang nie, slegs ’n e-pos met ’n aantal handteke-ninge.

Die e-pos wat aan Ebrahim en verskeie amp-tenare in die Stad Kaapstad gerig is, is ook on-langs aangestuur na DistriksPos. Die e-pos be-vat die petisie, met die name en handtekeningevan43inwoners,sowelas’nbriefvandieStrandMoslem Laerskool wat ook die besigheid teen-staan.

Volgens ’n inwoner wat anoniem wil bly, istalle klagtes reeds by die eienaar, sowel as dieStad Kaapstad, Metro-polisie en Wetstoepas-

sing ingedien sedert die maatskappy daar inge-trek het.

Skoolhoof Sadik Fanie stem saam dat dietrokke die veiligheid van leerders bedreig. Hysê ook dat die geraas ’n steurnis skep vir veraldie leerders in die grondslagfase, wie se klassenaaste aan die straat is. Volgens Fanie toon dieskoolgebou ook krake wat vermoedelik veroor-saak word deur die groot trokke wat in Ham-mondstraat af tot by hul besigheidsperseel ry.

Volgens die inwoners is GG Heavy Haulagese hoofingang in Hammondstraat en is dit 24uur per dag en sewe dae per week operasioneel.Inwoners beweer dat dié trokke daagliks buitedie perseel parkeer en dat hulle soms ook buitedie perseel nagegaan word, in stede van in diewerkswinkel.

’n Ander inwoner, sê dat die trokke van sovroeg as 05:00 voor die hoofingang vir die seku-riteitswagtoetomdiehekooptemaak.Dietrok-ke parkeer ook glo gereeld vir meer as ’n uurin die straat terwyl dit aangeskakel is.

Volgens die inwoner het een van die trokkeook reeds toe dit agteruit getrek het deur ’n be-tonmuur van ’n buurman gery.

TydensDistriksPos se besoek aan die perseelis gesien hoedat ’n trok oor die sypaadjie ry toedit ’n U-draai maak. ’n Harde gekap was ookmeters vanaf die perseel hoorbaar.

Van die inwoners woon reeds vir meer as 50jaar in die straat en sê dat daar geen publiekedeelname proses was, of inwoners vooraf inkennistestelisdatdievervoermaatskappyvan-af die perseel bedryf sal word nie. Hulle voeldatdiemaatskappytansmeerregteashullehet.

Volgens Johan van der Merwe, burgermees-terskomiteelid vir energie, omgewings- enruimtelike beplanning is GG Heavy Haulage ’nAlgemene Nywerheid 1 wat binne dié regte be-dryf word. Hy sê voorts dat die maatskappy nieaansoek hoef te doen om hul hoofingang in ’nwoongebied te hê nie, omdat die Stad se Grond-gebruikbeplanningsordonnansie dit nie vereisnie.

Volgens Richard Bosman, uitvoerende hoof,veiligheid en sekuriteit, het die verkeersdien-ste die inwoners se klagte ondersoek, en salvoortgaan om dit te doen. Bosman sê egter datgeen trokke tydens die besoek buite die perseelgeparkeer was nie, en daar ook geen verkeers-oortredings plaasgevind het nie.

Raadslid Benedicta van Minnen, burgemees-terskomiteelid vir gesondheid sê dat daar ty-dens verskeie besoeke aan die besigheid geengeraas by die besigheid was nie. Volgens VanMinnen was die werkswinkel tydens ’n besoekop Vrydag 31 Oktober om 21:00 gesluit, en wasdaar geen geraas nie.

Twee spoedwalle sal wel in Noltestraat nabydie skool aangebring word om die verkeer tekalmeer. Volgens die inwoners het die getoete-ry van die trokke in die vroeë oggendure toege-neem sedert die inhandiging van die petisie.

’n Trok van die vervoermaatskappy, GG Heavy Haulage draai in Hammondstraat in.

GOTCHA! Snakecatcher RudolphHerbst (seen here holding a large female puffadder) was called to catchthis snake when a staff member at Willowbrook Lodge noticed the snake nearthe trail close to the Morgenster bridgeover the Lourensford River at RadloffPark on Saturday morning. Herbst laterreleased the snake safely into the wild.He says he has caught several puffadders in the Somerset West area alreadythis summer. Although he has a fulltimejob, Rudolph has offered his assistancewith snakes and can be contacted at072 523 1589. As Radloff Park is popular with dog walkers and children,people should be aware that thesesnakes have emerged from hibernationand are active at this time of year.

Hierdie foto gee ‘n idee van die trok se totale lengte.

‘Angel’ top learneratOprahAcademyDELIAH BRINKHUIS

Macassar resident, Angelica le Roux hasbeennamed the best overall learner at theOprah Winfrey Leadership Academy forGirls.

Angelica received this award as well as theaward for best learner in all of her nine sub-jects which include: maths, advanced maths,science, physics and languages at their recentgraduationceremonyat the school on11Octo-ber.The boarding school opened in January

2007 in Henley-on-Klip nearMeyerton, aimedat providing educational and leadership op-portunities for academically gifted girls fromdisadvantaged communities.Her mom, Kate and the rest of her siblings

are just as proud of her achievement as herformer primary school, Oklahoma Street Pri-mary and the Macassar community.Oklahoma Street principal Patrick Beukes

was quick to boast with Angel (as he refersto her), saying she had held the school’s namehigh through her years at the academy.Kate said she was overjoyed when Angeli-

ca’s name was called out at the ceremony onthe evening and had jumped up and down..“I couldn’t control the tears rolling down

myface, itwasmylittlegirlwhowasthebest,”she said.Her dad, Christopher,who died in 2012, had

teased her when she started at the academy,saying she would soon forget being raised Af-rikaans and would drink only bottled water.Kate says the opportunity to have her

daughter enrolled challenged the family.Christopher was a policeman in Macassar

at that timeand wasvery ill havingbeendiag-nosedwithpost-traumaticstressandlivercir-rhosis in 2006. The decision was left to Katealone.“I feared it would be the wrong decision to

have her go away to attend the school,” shesaid. Her faith however carried herthrough, and threemonths later she let her12-year-old daughter go with the certaintythat this decision could only bring positivechange to her life.Angel did not let her family down and ex-

celled academically as well as in sport. Themany photographs, certificates and schoolyearbooks in the Le Roux home bear testi-mony to her hard work and dedication.Kate says the school has shapedAngelica

into a balanced young adult, and that shetook up athletics and karate – in which shehas a black belt – as well as started playingthe guitar.She says Angelica’s nickname is Angel

and she lives her life accordingly. She is al-ways ready to encourage and help othersand although she was thousands of kilome-tres away from home, she has been a pillarof support for her and her siblings Melody(22), Christiaan (16) and Christopher (7).Angelica is a humble person who never

boasts about her achievements, says Kate.She was surprised when Angelica was cho-sen as guest speaker at the iLive2LeadYoung Women’s International LeadersSummit at Georgetown University in theUSA in June last year.She was the youngest speaker and had

spokeabout the school’s involvement in theOrange Farm Project, which she had beensteering at the school. The project involvesrunning a food garden supplying a sanctu-ary for orphans affected by HIV.Life as a single parent is difficult, says

Kate, but she is happy that her children areso close to each other. She says she alwaystries her best to make them all feel specialand not to single anyone out.Angelica will return to Macassar at the

end of November to study medicine at theUniversity of Stellenbosch.

Taxi reversesoverwell-knownSomersetWest hairdresser

LastWednesdaywasabeautifuldayand a perfect day for cycljng. Earlythat morning I met up with Wanna-bee Cycling Club members, androde out to Betty’s Bay.

As I needed to get back to work,I decided not to join the group forcoffee in Betty’s Bay and rode backon my own.

I should’ve taken the hint whenIgottwopuncturesonmywayback,but it had been a perfect ride andI just expected a perfect ride back.

However, as I approached Green-ways in Gordon’s Bay Road, just be-fore the turnoff to get into StrandBeach Road, a taxi overtook me andstopped a few metres in front of me.I wondered why he had overtakenme, just to stop a few metres in frontof me. There was a lot of traffic pass-ing on the right-hand side, and rath-er than take an unnecessary risk, Istopped about two metres behindthe taxi to wait for him to pull offagain.

Suddenly though, I saw the taxireversing at full speed towards me,

as ifhewantedtokillme.Therewasnothing I could do. For a split sec-ond, I thought: “This is it, this is thelast day of my life.”

I put my arms up in front of me.There was a big impact. I wasthrown about a metre back, fallingon my shoulders and back. Afterthat, there was only pain.

Fortunately, there were somepeople who saw the accident andcame to help. I was dazed, lying onthe road and waiting for an ambu-lance.

I saw the driver standing lookingdown at me. I asked: “Why did youreverselikethat,andatthatspeed?”

He responded by swearing ag-gressively at me as well as at a ladywho saw the accident, and said shewas a witness.

I spent therestof thedayinhospi-tal for X-rays and being examined.Luckily nothing was broken, butmy back and shoulders were verysore. I must still go for a furthercheck- up to verify if any ligamentshave been torn.

As for the taxi driver, I do notknow what he was thinking, but Iintendontakingthismatter furtherandifatallpossiblehavehis licenserevoked.

Most importantly however, Iwould like to thank all the peoplewho stopped to help me, especiallyElsabé who witnessed the accident,theparamedicswhoattendedtome,myteam-matesTomandPennywhoarrived later on at the scene of theaccident, and last but not least. thestaffatMediclinicVergelegenCasu-alty who took care of me when I wasbrought in. I’m more grateful thanwords can express, thank you all. Iam happy to be alive.

SASHA G PATS-NOUGUESConstable Mbulelo Mafuna, spokes-person for the Strand Police, re-sponds: “I can confirm that an acci-dent was reported to the Strand Po-lice and an accident report wasopened.At this stage there is no criminal in-vestigation taking place in relationto this incident.”

Hospitaalmoetnouaandagkry

Die DistriksPos het vir die tweedeweek in ’n ry ’n voorblad artikel oortoestande by die Helderberg-hospi-taal.

In ’n ontstellende opvolg, berig dieDistriksPos oor ’n man, WilliamAbrahams, wat mediese hulp beno-dig het, maar dit blykbaar nie ont-vang het nie. Abrahams se familievertel van die onaanvaarbare toe-stand waarin hulle hom, meer as eenkeer, by die hospitaal bevind het. Hyis op Vrydag 24 Oktober oorlede.

Slegs ’n handjie vol Suid-Afrika-ners is bevoorreg genoeg om privategesondheidsorg te bekostig terwyldie oorgrote meerderheid nie ’n keu-se het as om van die oorlaaide staats-diens gebruik te maak nie.

Maar hoe lank voordat die donkiese rug breek?

Die regering hou nie by met die ge-weldige nood vir bekostigbare ge-sondheidsorg nie.

Die storie behoort die waarsku-wingsligte by die provinsiale depar-tement van gesondheid te laat af-gaan.

Die departement het wel planneom die Helderberg-hospitaal te ver-groot en te skuif, maar die plannemoet nou uit die konsep fase skuifen dringend ’n realiteit word.

‘Desire tomorallypolice the community ismisplaced’Your publication on 9 October,page 8 refers, with specific refer-ence to the letter regarding theplacing of artwork on Mooibergefarm.

I came across this letter in theform of a posting to Facebook on 9OctobertovariousFacebookpages,accompanied by a call to emailyourself and the owner of the farmto complain about the placing ofthese artworks.

To claim that the placing of thesculptures would lead to abuse ofchildren is egregious, and invitesthe reader to make a leap of imagi-nation that insults the intelligenceof the common person who woulddrive past there and see that.

I understand the desire to protectthe most vulnerable in our commu-nity, but the ire is sorely misplacedin this instance.

I would not have taken the time

to write and have moved on had itnot be for the public call to actionon Facebook to write to theDistrict-Mailand also the owner of the farmin support of this comedy of citizenmoral policing. It is invasive andit is wrong. From these posts I havealso learned that Cassy indicatedthat she would contact the City ofCape town about the statues.

IinviteDistrictMail toavailitselfof two things; firstly please take thetime to read the many posts in sup-portof theownerof this farmwherethese calls to action have been post-ed, and secondly read section 16 ofthe Constitution of South Africa.

1.c) Protects the owner of thesestatues’ freedom of artistic creativ-ity, and

2.c) clearly defends against theincitement to cause harm.

Posting on Facebook to cause acomplaint against a business that

is fully within its rights can causeharm to the business.

There are more important thingsto worry about in our beautifulWestern Cape than the placing ofmetal sculptures.

Ihopethat thiswillnotgofurtherand that attention to real problemstakeprecedentoveradesiretomor-ally police the community.

SakeBusiness

liewer die oorblywende geld wat jymaandeliks tot jou beskikking het en be-lê dit op ’n sinvolle manier.

Bly liewer weg van beleggingspolisse.In die meeste gevalle is die kostestruk-tuur daarvan baie hoog, asook die make-laar se kommissie. Belê die geld liewerregstreeks by ’n beleggingsmaatskappy,wat nie die onnodig hoë kostestrukture

het nie.Lewensdekking teenoorbe-

leggingsbehoefte behoortsoos volg te wees: Indien jypas begin werk het, onge-troud is en geen skuld het nie,is jou behoefte aan lewens-dekking relatief min. Onge-skiktheid en aftreebeplan-ning is dan belangriker.

Sodra jy trou en daar kin-ders is, is die behoefte aan le-wensdekking baie hoër en ge-woonlik ook die hoogste watdit ooit sal wees. Namate tydverloop en ’n huisverband af-betaal word en ander batesbykom, sal jou behoefte aan

lewensdekking verlaag.In daardie stadium moet daar ernstig

op aftreebeplanning gefokus word, aan-gesien jy dan waarskynlik nog net so 15plus jare het voor aftrede.

Die geheim is om net genoeg verseke-ring te hê vir onvoorsiene gebeure. Moe-nie jou “dood” betaal aan duur en onno-dige lewenspolissewaaropdan lugkaste-le vir jou gesin gebou word nie.

Wanneer iemand vir die eerste keerbegin werk en ’n eie salaris verdien,is ’n polis gewoonlik hoog op die be-grotingslysie.

Die eerste stap is om ’n makelaar opte soek. Dan gebeur een van twee dinge:’n finansiële produk word gekoop watwel tot so iemand se voordeel óf heelte-mal onvanpas is.

In baie gevalle kyk die ma-kelaar heel eerste na sy eiesak voordat hy die behoeftevan die kliënt in ag neem.

Dit is dus baie belangrik omeerstens self te bepaal wat joubehoefte in ’n sekere stadiumvan jou lewe is en dan sekerte maak dat jy wel met die reg-te produk vir daardie behoef-te begin.

Indien jy byvoorbeeld stu-dieskuld en dalk ’n werk hetwat vereis dat daar baie ge-reis moet word, is lewensdek-king moontlik nodig om dieskuld te betaal in geval vandood.

Daar is ongeskiktheidsdekking nodigindien ’n ongeluk sou gebeur en jy dalkongeskik of tydelik ongeskik sou raak.Maak baie seker dat net genoeg dekkinguitgeneem word vir die spesifieke be-hoefte.

Dit help nie om ’n klomp geld maande-liks aan ’n polis te bestee wat eintlik nienodig is nie.

Dink so daaraan: Jy gaan tog nie jouvoertuig vir meer verseker as wat ditwerd is nie. Verseker jou lewe vir netgenoeg sodat jy nie op straat sit indieniets onvoorsiens met jou gebeur. Neem

Moenie te veel vir verkeerde goed betaal nie

Na ’n jaar se harde werk is dieHelderberg-Sakekamer weergoed op dreef en reg met ’n planom die Helderberg in ’n bestem-ming vir beleggings en toerismete omskep.

Die organisasie het verlede jaarslegs vyf aktiewe lede by sy laastevergaderinggehadenwasingevaarom uitgedien te raak. Die Sakeka-mer het egter skouer aan die wielgesit en na ’n jaar se harde werk ishulle op dreef om die Helderberg ’nbroodnodige hupstoot te gee.

Dieorganisasiehet tans18grootmaatskappyeas lede en nog vele meer wat belangstel om be-trokke te raak.

Daantjie Malan, voorsitter van die Sakeka-mer, sê daar is terugvoer gegee oor die jaar sewerk by verlede week se ledevergadering.

Hy sê die doel van die vergadering was om ’nmandaat van die Sakekamer te kry om voort tegaan met sy strategiese plan.

Die plan is om die Helderberg te bemark as’nbeleggings- en toerismebestemmingenombe-sighede te lok om hulle kantore en fabrieke hierte vestig.

Adriaan Theron, sekretaris vir die Helder-

berg- Sakekamer, meen die Helder-berg is veel beter vir besigheid asKaapstadsemiddestad,omdatdaarheelwatminderverkeerisenditna-by die Moederstad, die Boland endie Overberg is.

Theron sê die Helderberg-Sake-kamer is verder gevra om ’n man-daat goed te keur om ’n memoran-dum van verstandhouding met dieStad Kaapstad aan te gaan en omsamewerkende verhoudings metander organisasies in die Helder-berg aan te knoop. Hy sê meer as100 plaaslike organisasies sal gena-derwordom ’nsamewerkendever-houding te vestig.

Theron sê die terugvoering van die Sakeka-mer is sover baie positief.

Hy sê nog ’n inisiatief wat die Sakekamer opdie been wil bring is om ’n webwerf vir die Hel-derbergteskep,wataldieaktiwiteite,restauran-te en toeristebestemmings in die Helderberg opeen plek lys. Hy sê hy wil sien dat in plaas daar-van dat toeriste in die Moederstad vertoef enslegs ’n dag hier spandeer, hulle eerder in dieHelderberg bly en ander Wes-Kaapse bestem-mings hiervandaan besoek.

Theron nooi organisasies wat betrokke wilraak, veral in toerisme, om hom te kontak [email protected].

The previous weekend nosnoek were among the yellow-

Many species and undersized fish thatcould have been nurtured to become breed-ing stock are being destroyed by these treknets.

Trekking is seriously affecting sustaina-ble fishingbothnowandinthefuture.Oftentrekkers have up to three treks in one day.

Fortunately, on our Strand beaches trek-king is not allowed, thanks to councillors,ratepayersandtheDistrictMailwhohelpedget itbannedheremanyyearsago.Thisout-modedwayof fishing should be stopped im-mediately by our government.

DistrictMail/BeaumontSixes – isawinnerThis years DistrictMail/Beaumont sixeswas another amazing success. The weatherwas great, the cricket outstanding and thesupport fantastic.

I’m a very proud coach today, as Beaumontwere crowned sixes champions on Saturday. Itcouldn’t have been scripted any better.Hats off to Les Kets of Beaumont and Mark

Stuart of theDistrict Mail for runningwith thisevent for 20 years.This was Les’ brainchild and credit to Mark

for jumping on board immediately. The beautyofthecompetitionisthatnotoneschoolhasdom-inatedtheeventovertheyears,infacttherehavebeen 12 different winners since the inception ofthe tournament.Beaumont played De Hoop in this year’s ab-

sorbingfinal.Welldonetobothteamsforplayinggreat cricket throughout the day.To my boys: Juan, Niel, Jared, Josh, Joubert

and Jannick, well done, you made your schoolproud.The thing that struckme themost on the day

was use of spin by all teams. Gone are the daysof teams having one spinner. My side for exam-ple had three spinners. It has become apparentover the years that taking the pace off the ballis very important . If one scrutinises the score

sheets it’s evident that the spinners took morewickets thanthequicksand conceded lessruns.Insayingall this though, it isalsoevidenthow

the standard of batting has improved over theyears.About10yearsagothe finalistswerescor-ing 150 or 160 runs (total after three matches)nowteamsarescoringwell inexcessof 200runs.De Hoop scored 240 runs after their three

games this year and Beaumont 220 (the twoteamswith themostrunsoverall on thedaycon-test the final).So although teamsare becoming shrewder by

picking spinners, the batsmen have adjustedwell. There were 80 sixes hit on the day, an im-pressive effort by primary school boys. Againit just proves how good the standard of juniorcricket is in the Helderberg.Thanks toDistrictMail for their ongoing sup-

port and to D&P Cricket for getting involved insponsoringprizesandwelldonetoRawsonProp-erties for their ongoing supportof Beaumont Primary Schooland for their advertisements inthe District Mail for the day.
