    Twee vermeende diewe se

    droom om moontlik n hele

    hy besef die sleepwa met sy boot,

    ter waarde van sowat R120 000,

    A four-year-old girl is heartbroken af-

    ter her beloved cat was shot with a pel-

    let gun in Vrykyk and had to be put

    down.

    According to Liah Herholdts father,

    Marius, the five-month old Lala was

    ANCvsDA:Protests start

    MARYKE SWART

    ANC supporters recently

    marched to the municipal

    buildings inPaarl inprotest

    of poor service delivery

    fromtheDA-ledmunicipali-

    ty.

    Hundreds of protesters,

    some of which were driven in

    from towns outside of Paarl,

    gathered in front of the Drak-

    enstein Municipality on 20

    March to hand over a memo-

    randum of grievances to the

    executive mayor, Gesie van

    Deventer. The deputy mayor,

    Conrad Poole accepted the

    memorandum in her absence.

    The grievances include is-

    sues circling around housing

    projects in Paarl East and

    Mbekweni, such as Drommedaris.

    According toANC secretary in the Boland,

    Zinzo Mthini, the previous policy drawn up

    by the former ANC-led municipality, stated

    that the Drommeda-ris houses were set to ac-

    commodate people from Drommedaris and

    OR Tambo in Mbekweni.

    The DA allegedly overwrote that policy by

    having people apply for houses, which ac-

    cording toMthini leftmultipleDrommedaris

    and OR Tambo residents without homes, as

    shacks along the railway line had to be re-

    moved.

    Other issues include the lack of electricity

    and sewerage andwater supply cuts in Ches-

    ter Williams and Kingston, Paarl East.

    The DA has failed our people. They never

    address the issues.

    Van Deventer responded this week by say-

    ingthemarchwaspurelyapre-electionstunt,

    also referring to the buses full of people driv-

    en from Stellenbosch and Worcester to form

    part of the protest conducted by the Boland

    district office of the ANC.

    Thegoalwastotrytocreatetheperception

    that the DA-led Council has problems, be-

    cause prior to a meeting called by the Mayor

    to the applicant to hear the grievances, they

    couldnotprovideanygrievances.The

    difference in service delivery before

    2011underANCcontrol andafter 2011

    under DA control is light years apart:

    This Council works for all its commu-

    nities, she stated.

    Van Deventer said since 2003 the

    Drommedaris project in Mbekweni

    came to a stand still. Within two

    yearswebuilt 1 500houseswherepeo-

    ple fromall communities andcultural

    groups, including farmworkers bene-

    fited.

    She further stated that they are cur-

    rentlybuildinghousesinLantanaand

    Kingston Townwhere these two com-

    munities have been waiting 35 years

    for houses.

    The building of houses in Gouda

    will start in April.

    In Fairyland 259 and in Siyahlala

    243 plotswere provided of services for

    houses to be built once the budget al-

    lows it.

    In Amstelhof the installation of water me-

    ters for 246 houses were approved, which al-

    lowed house owners who could previously

    not convey their houses because they did not

    have water meters to convey them.

    ANCconvenors gaveVanDeventer 14 days

    to respond to the issues in thememorandum.

    Should she not, Mthini said, the ANCwill be

    forced to take massive action.

    VanDeventer toldPaarl Post that theywill

    supply answers to the grievances in writing

    as they have alreadymetwith the organisers

    of the march.

    Is telefoonpyne by toetssentrum nouwel uitgeklaar?

    Lede van die publiek het die afgelope paar

    maande steen en been gekla dat dit voorkom

    asof die verkeerstoetssentrum in Dal Josafat

    die afgelope paar maande nie meer n skakel-

    bord het nie.

    Die rede hiervoor is dat hul telefone perma-

    nent tydens kantoorure onbeantwoord bly.

    Vandeesweekhet onsweereens hierdie klag-

    tes op proef gestel, net om self hierdie onbeant-

    woorde dilemma te beleef.

    Dinsdag isdie telefoonnommervandie toets-

    sentrum vier keer geskakel, in die oggend n

    09:00 en in diemiddag n 14:00, en nie een keer

    is hul telefoon beantwoord nie.

    nitief onbevredigend is, maar weens n onge-

    lukkige sameloop van omstandighede ont-

    Dit sal die verkeersafdeling in staat stel om

    n bevredigende telefoondiens aan die publiek

    te lewer. Diemunisipaliteit vra die publiek om

    verskoning vir enige ongerief.

    Maar toe Paarl Post Woensdagoggend weer

    die toetssentrum se nommer skakel, was daar

    steeds geen antwoord nie ...

    n Jong man is Dinsdagaand in Paarl-Oos

    doodnhy glo volgens die teregstellingstyl

    in die kop geskiet is.

    Volgens polisiewoordvoerder lt. DianaLinee

    is die oorledene Raynier Bailey (24), beter be-

    kend as Stompie in sy erf in Solomonstraat

    met n vuurwapen teen die kant van sy kop

    doodgeskiet.

    Met ons aankoms op die toneel het ons die

    jong man dood aangetref. Dit is nie bekend

    waaroor die verdagtes hom vermoor het nie,

    vertel sy.

    Nadat die noodlottige skoot geklap het, was

    die polisie vinnig op die toneel. Hulle het n be-

    skrywing van nmotor ontvangwat van die to-

    neel weggejaag het.

    Nadat hierdie noodboodskap na ander poli-

    siekantore deurgegee is, is die verdagte voer-

    tuig en vier insittendes kort daarna in Klein

    Drakensteinweg deur Paarl-polisiebeamptes

    vasgetrek. Volgens inligting was drie van die

    insittendes Somalirs.

    Geenvuurwapen is totdusveropgespoornie.

    Stompie sema, EllaBailey (60), het vertel dat

    sy omstreeks 20:00 vir haar seun R10 gegee het

    om sjokolade by n spazawinkel te gaan koop.

    n Rukkie daarna het ek n skoot hoor klap

    en uit my huis gehardloop. Ek het toe afgekom

    op my seun wat in n plas bloed in ons erf gel

    het.

    Ek was baie geskok. Ek gaan my enigste

    seun verskriklik mis, vertel n hartseer Ella.

    LISE BEYERS

    Business owners in Dal Josaphat are

    shockedtolearnthatupto2 000informal

    homes will be built right on their door-

    step.

    The Vlakkeland Business Association,

    consisting of businesses in Donkervliet, Ju-

    piter, Borstenberg Streets and the southern

    section of Drommedaris Street, are already

    grappling under a surge of criminal activity

    in the area and many companies have al-

    ready had to employ security personnel at

    exorbitant costs to deal with escalating

    crime.

    Thebusinessassociationmetwiththemu-

    nicipality last year to establish answers to

    their questions, but to date, says Gerrit van

    SchalkwykofVSTechinBorstenbergStreet,

    they have received no answers.

    Amemorandumwithcriticalquestionsas

    to this issue was recently delivered to the

    municipality.

    The associationwants to know the follow-

    ing:

    )What will the houses look like

    )Why has no correspondence been re-

    ceived by business owners from themunici-

    pality

    ) No permission has been asked from ad-

    jacent property owners

    ) The area lies below the 150 year flood

    level.According to theEnvironmentalMan-

    gementFramework for theDrakensteinMu-

    nicipality no development is allowed below

    this flood level.

    ) This informal settlementwill alsonega-

    tively affect Paarl North and Groenheuwel,

    as there is already a problem with theft in

    theseareas,withaneasyescaperouteacross

    the river.

    ) Thememorandum also states the nega-

    tiveeffectof suchanoverpopuloussituation

    on further polluting the Berg River

    ) Thesewagepumping station in thearea

    is constantly out of order due to theft, as is

    currently the case.

    Van Schalkwyk further said: Armed rob-

    bery takes place,workers are assaulted, and

    there have even been hi-jackings at the traf-

    fic light near the Traffic Centre. How much

    more canwe take? DrakensteinMunicipali-

    ty is contributing to the stifling of business-

    es that provide the economic health of the

    area.

    Municipal Manager, Johann Mettler, ad-

    mitted that this property has been ear-

    marked for emergency housing.

    He said that themunicipalityhas been cit-

    ed as a respondent in at least 300 court cases

    of eviction, and in most of these has been

    orderedbyanorder of theHighCourt to pro-

    vide temporary emergency housing to the

    evicted families.

    We have no choice in these orders and

    wepresentlyhavenosite ready foremergen-

    cy housing.

    All options have been screened and Erf

    584 has been identified as a potential tempo-

    rary site until houses for these evictees are

    identified. Nothing has been finalised yet.

    It is important to note that any emergen-

    cy housing site will be provided with strict

    security control. It will be fully enclosed

    with security fencing and with one single

    access point. Security guards will regulate

    the access to the site and patrol the outside

    fence.Security lightingwillalsobeprovided

    within the housing area and around the se-

    curity fence. The intention is to maintain a

    safe environment for all within the housing

    development and the surrounding areas.

    Mettler further said that ameetingwas re-

    cently held between themselves and the

    Vlakkeland Business Forum to discuss the

    proposed development.

    It was agreed that their concerns will be

    addressedatafollow-upmeeting.TheMayor

    has indicated that she shallmeet in the near

    future with the Business Forum about this

    issue.

    Despite promises

    Moeniebabasnetweggooi nie

    Ongewenste babas word deesdae gans te veel in vullissakke, dromme,

    toilette en selfs rioolpype gevind ongelukkig selde lewend.

    In die hedendaagsewreldmet sy tegnologiese enmediese deurbrake

    isdaaralsoveelmiddels, inspuitingsenmaniereontwikkelomswanger-

    skap te verhoed. Mense beskou dit egter blykbaar steeds as n soort

    uitdaging om onbeskermde seks te h, en die kans te waag in die hoop

    om nie swanger te raak nie.

    As die teendeel plaasvind, wil hulle ewe skielik n plan maak. Dit

    sluit gewoonlik aborsie in of om die baba vir nege maande te dra, dan

    wees te laatenspreekwoordelikvirdiewolwetegooi. Inuitsonderlike

    gevalle kom iemand betyds op die baba af en het die brose bondeltjie

    n kans op oorlewing. Die meerderheid lykies word eers n dae gevind.

    As jy nie na die baba kan omsien nie, vindmeer uit oor hulpsentrums

    in die gebied of vat die baba na n staatshospitaal toe vir die nodige

    hulp. Red jou kind se lewe.

    Twee weke gelede, by een vanmy

    kuiertjies saam met goeie vrien-

    dinne, gesels ons oudergewoonte

    oor amper alles onder die son,

    soos net vriendinne kan. Deur al

    ons geselsies praat ons oor hoe

    mense sepersoonlikevrae enaan-

    merkingsoorbyvoorbeeld trouen

    babas jou soms ongemaklik en

    rooi in die gesig kan laat voel en

    ander tye sommer net kwaad

    maak.

    Metdiedat ekreedsdrie jaarge-

    lede die knoop deurgehaak het en

    in2012myeersteling indiewreld

    verwelkomhet,wasek toenoudie

    een wat met hulle die slegte nuus

    moes deel: Hulle kan hulle gereed

    maak vir nog n lang rits onge-

    wenste vrae en opinies.

    En heel toevallig sien ek op

    Facebook dat mense se persoonli-

    kevraeookanderbietjiewarmon-

    derdiekraaghet.Ekvramykolle-

    gas daaroor en van hulle was ook

    al onder kruisverhoor oor hul

    persoonlike lewe.

    Ek dink toe so bietjie oormy er-

    varinge en besef

    datna nsekereou-

    derdom het die

    vrae begin oor

    wanneer ek trou.

    So is die vrae vir n

    hele paar jaar na

    ons gegooi, s asof

    iemand ons gaan

    help met die uitga-

    wes van die troue en dies meer.

    Om ordentlik te wees wasmy ant-

    woord maar net altyd n glimlag.

    Vyf jaar later haak ons af, dol

    gelukkig en bly om saam die won-

    derlike ervaringe en uitdagings

    van die huwelik aan te pak. En

    kanjynouglo,onshetnognieeers

    behoorlik I do ges nie en kom

    die vraag: wanneer kom baba.

    Ek kan onthou hoe ek aan die

    begin die baba-vrae ook afgelag

    het en in my agterkop gedink het

    is die mense dan nou mal, ek is

    dan nou net getroud. Dan sal jy

    nou ook dink as jy een keer ges

    het nee nie nou al nie, babamoet

    eerswagdansaldithulle tevrede

    stel, maar nee, die baba-vrae kry

    ek van alle kante, en snaaks ge-

    noeg, dit komnet vandie vroulike

    geslag.

    So npaarmaandelaterraakmy

    gelag as antwoord op hul vrae toe

    nou n masker vir my irritasie,

    want besef mense nie dit is n per-

    soonlike saak tussen n man en n

    vrou nie?

    En toe twee jaar later word ons

    bondeltjie liefde gebore, n ware

    sening in ons huis, een waaroor

    ons gebid het en wat op sy regte

    tyd gekom het. En glo my, al die

    baba-vrae het niks daarmee te

    doen gehad nie.

    En byna onmiddellik kry ons

    raad uit alle oorde, wat jy moet

    doenashy nwindhet ensovoorts.

    Partymensevatdie gesegdeIt ta-

    kes a village to raise a child heel-

    temal te ver. Gelukkig is ek die

    suster by die hospitaal ewig dank-

    baar toe sy met ons ontslag ons

    met di woorde gelaat het: Ont-

    hou hy is julle baba, julle is sy ou-

    ers. En mamma, jy ken hom die

    beste, vir jou is hy nie net nog n

    baba nie,maar die eenwat jou jou

    moederlike instinkte gee. So jy

    weet wat is goed vir hom. Onthou

    net, jou baba is uniek; hy is nie

    jy of jou man toe julle klein was

    nie, hy het n uniekheid wat net

    julle verstaan. So besluit vir wie

    jywil nader vir advies,want jy sal

    nie na almal kan luister nie.

    Sywas reg; al die raad enmoets

    en moenies kan nogal n eerste-

    keer-ouers-paartjie deurmekaar

    maak.Diesnaaksegrappiesenon-

    gevraagde kommentaar kan nog-

    al aan jou krap, asof diemin slaap

    met nkleinmensie indiehuisnie

    genoeg is nie.Maar as

    eerste keer mamma

    hou ek my kop hoog,

    want net soos ouers

    voormyhulle kinders

    groot gemaak het vol-

    genshulkennis, salek

    graag die voorreg wil

    h om my kind groot

    te maak volgens my

    enmyman se voorkeure.Vir hom

    die waardes leer wat ons graag in

    homwil sien, diewaardeswat ons

    ouers ons geleer het. So as ek nie

    my kind wil uitsmeer met aller-

    hande snaakse olies wat glad nie

    lekker ruik nie, is dit nie uit min-

    agtingvirandernie.Vandagismy

    Sohetonsnog nhekkievanper-

    maar die volgende vraag het ons

    bietjie onkant gevang....

    Nou wanneer kom baba nom-

    Ekwonder of die vrae nou al vir

    my generasies vooruit loop. Is

    hierdie vrae doodeenvoudig

    Ek sou s ek en my man het dit

    Compliments toWellingtonPolice

    I know South Africans are quick

    to complain about crime and our

    police force.

    However, recently a burglar

    broke into a house next door and

    escaped over my property.

    I accosted him and called the

    Wellington Police for assistance.

    They answered the phone with-

    in seconds, listened to me and as-

    sured me they would respond

    quickly.

    Sergeants Small and Jacobs ar-

    rived within five minutes and ap-

    prehended the suspect as he was

    found with stolen property in his

    possession and a very long knife.

    What I appreciatedmostwas the

    sergeants proud and professional

    appearance and approach; they

    are presentable, well mannered

    and extremely efficient.

    So well done to Lieutenant

    Smiles and his staff at theWelling-

    ton Police for responding quickly

    and in aprofessionalmanner. I am

    proud of a police force that can do

    their job so efficiently.

    Prison) near Paarl the last

    place where Nelson Mandela

    was held captive before he took

    his first steps to freedom on

    11 February 1990.

    Tomake it as easy as possible

    for people to personally experi-

    ence Mandelas story, we have

    developed the Madiba-inspired

    tourist attractions map, which

    encapsulates the key points on

    his lifes journey, Van Schalk-

    wyk said.

    ItwasdevelopedbySouthAfri-

    canTourisminpartnershipwith

    theNelsonMandelaFoundation.

    The map highlights tourist sites

    aswell as general places of inter-

    est in the four main provinces

    which defined Mandelas life.

    These include the Eastern Cape,

    where he was born, grew up and

    attended Fort Hare University;

    Gauteng, where he worked as a

    human-rights lawyer and be-

    came instrumental in South Af-

    ricas political struggle; KwaZu-

    lu-Natal,wherehewascaptured,

    and the Western Cape, where he

    was imprisoned and ultimately

    freed.

    The Madiba-inspired tourist

    attractions map includes well-

    known attractions such as the

    world heritage site Robben Is-

    land, where Mandela was im-

    prisoned, and Mandelas house

    on Vilakazi Street in Soweto. It

    also features some of the lesser-

    known attractions, such as the

    Kliptownopen-airmuseum, also

    in Soweto, whichmarks the spot

    where the Freedom Charter was

    adopted by the Congress of the

    People, as well as the Nelson

    Mandelayouthandheritagecen-

    tre in Mandelas childhood

    home, Qunu, where he was of

    course buried as well.

    The Madiba-inspired tourist

    attractions map is available to

    trade partners in South Africa

    and around the world to make it

    as easy as possible to package

    Madiba-inspired itineraries.

    The map is also available online

    at www.southafrica.net.

    The Madibas Journey map will trace the great mans walk from an

    early political career, to prison, to his release and his contribution

    to creating a free South Africa for all.

    Klapmus-rooftogte:

    taakspannodig

    EIKESTADNUUS

    Die styging in gewapende roof

    van 203% sedert 2003 is genoeg

    rede vir Stellenbossers om be-

    kommerd tewees envrae te vra.

    Amper n jaar n die sogenaamde

    klapmus-rooftogte op plase begin

    het, s dr. Johann Burger die boge-

    middelde styging in alle tipes gewa-

    pende roof in en om die dorp is rede

    tot kommer. Hy is senior navorser

    by die Instituut vir Sekerheidstu-

    dies (ISS). Die Wes-Kaap se styging

    in dieselfde tydperk was maar 21%.

    Tog, s Burger, het die provinsie

    die afgelope dekade n skerp styging

    in huisroof ervaar, waaronder die

    klapmus-aanvalle tel. Ditwil lykof

    groot gedeeltes van die Wes-Kaap

    nou begin ervaar wat mense in pro-

    vinsies soos Gauteng en KwaZulu-

    Natal al lank mee worstel.

    In Stellenbosch het huisroof van

    2003 af gestyg vannul tot 36 voorval-

    le. Die laaste drie jaar was die sty-

    ging opmerklik: 17 in 2010-11; 23 in

    2011-12 en 36 in 2012-13, s hy.

    Wat die klapmus-aanvalle betref,

    isPaarl Post bewus van altesaam 26

    aanvalle sedert einde Mei verlede

    jaar in Stellenbosch, Paarl,

    Franschhoek en Groot Draken-

    stein.Wanneerdaarso nvlaagvan

    n spesifieke misdaad in n omge-

    wing begin plaasvind, kan dit aan

    baie verskillende faktore toege-

    skryf word, veral as dit ook elders

    in dieselfde provinsie gebeur, s

    Burger. Maar die ontstaan van n

    nuwe bende of sindikaat in n omge-

    wing kan ook lei tot n skielike toe-

    name in spesifieke misdade.

    Burger meen die polisie behoort

    inso ngeval n taakspanopdiebeen

    te bring. Een of twee ondersoekers

    gaan so n situasie moeilik op hul

    eie kan bekamp. Die beskikbaar-

    heid van doeltreffende intelligensie

    is onontbeerlik.

    In n brief wat een van die klap-

    mus-slagoffers vroer vanjaar aan

    Eikestadnuus geskryf het, spreek

    hysykommeruit oorhoediepolisie

    die sake ondersoek. Die rowers is,

    soos almal weet, baie vriendelik en

    amper hoflik. Die polisie se optrede

    met hierdie bende kan ook as vrien-

    delikenhoflikbeskryfword,ensoos

    ek dit verstaan sou die reaksie aan-

    sienlikbetergeweeshet ashullewel

    gemoor en verkrag het.

    Die slagoffer, wat op 2 September

    verlede jaar saam met sy vriendin

    beroof is,glodierooftogteworddeur

    een bende gepleeg. Die modus ope-

    randi wat beskryf word en wat ons

    beleef het, stem ooreen op fyn punte

    watmy laat glodatdaarhoofsaaklik

    een bende is. Die een man wat ge-

    vangis inFranschhoeklaasjaarkon

    onsook identifiseerop fotoswatdie

    polisie ons gewys het.

    Hy s die polisie is deur en deur

    reaktief in hul reaksie op die klap-

    musbende en hoop eintlik maar om

    gelukkig te raak een of ander tyd.

    Asekdie situasiebekykgaandie

    bende doodeenvoudig aanhou met

    wat hulle doen totdat nmeer bloed-

    lustige groep oplet hoemaklik dit is

    ommense hier te beroof en dan toe-

    slaan, f hulle ongelukkig raak.

    Hy gee wel krediet aan die goeie

    bedoelings van die ondersoekbe-

    ampte in die sake, maar ek ver-

    moed hy het meer werk as wat hy

    naastenby mee kan byhou.

    Die polisie het nie teen druktyd

    kommentaar gelewer op Eikestad-

    nuus se vrae hieroor nie.

    Burger s inwoners kan op ver-

    skeie maniere probeer help.

    Persoonlike paraatheid help al-

    tyd en individue moet meer oplet-

    tend begin raak en enige inligting

    wat die polisie kan help in hulle on-

    dersoek moet aan die polisie, ver-

    kieslik die ondersoekbeampte, oor-

    gedra word.

    Hysmensemoetookoorweegom

    by gemeenskapspolisiring of sek-

    torpolisiring betrokke te raak, of

    by buurt- of plaaswagte. Maar my

    advies isdatdit inoorlegmetsektor-

    bevelvoerders of die GPF gedoen

    moet word. Daar is so baie regsbe-

    ginsels in terme van arrestasiebe-

    voegdhede, stop-en-deursoeking,

    ondervraging, ensovoorts, van toe-

    passing wat dit vir die privaat per-

    soon riskant kan maak om sonder

    opleiding of samewerking met die

    polisie op te tree.

    Die polisie se Landelike Beveili-

    gingstrategie beoog reeds om plase

    en ander landelike gebiede te bevei-

    lig deur sektorpolisiring en selfs

    die reservistestelsels daar beter te

    implementeer. Om dit te kan doen

    het hulle mense se ondersteuning

    nodig.

    SCENES FOR BRITISH SERIES SHOT IN PAARL: The town of Paarl

    welcomed the cast and crew of the BBC drama television series

    Our Girl on Friday as they filmed a few scenes for the upcoming

    show at the Cure Day Clinics St. Stephans Paarl. The series follows

    the life of the unstoppable Molly Dawes (played by Lacey Turner)

    who was born and raised in East London with few prospects.

    Molly went on to become a soldier in the Royal Army Medical

    Corps. The series follows Molly on her first deployment as a

    serving army medic against the backdrop of the British Armys

    withdrawal from Afghanistan. It is not yet certain how filming at

    CDC St. Stephans Paarl will be incorporated into the storyline or

    what the release date for the series will be. PHOTO: MARYKE

    Boishaai spogmet nuwe orrelvonds

    Dinsdag 18 Maart was n groot dag in die kul-

    tuurgeskiedenis van Hor Jongenskool Paarl

    met die inwyding van n 2-manuaal-, 121-regis-

    ter- Rodgers Infinity-orrel uit die VSA.

    Bekende oud-Paarliet en -musiekonderwyse-

    res van Hor Meisieskool Paarl, Louna Stof-

    berg,het norreluitvoeringgelewer.Diegehoor

    is met n uiteenlopende program verras en die

    nuwe instrument is optimaal ten toon gestel.

    Baie beplanning en navorsing is vooraf ge-

    doen om die mees gepaste instrument aan te

    koop. n Pyporrel groot genoeg om n vertrek

    so groot soos HJS se skoolsaal, asook n gehoor

    van sowat 900mense te kan dra, het gemiddeld

    1 800 pype.

    Twee probleme is dadelik gedentifiseer,

    naamlik spasie en koste. Daarom was hierdie

    digitale orrel die perfekte oplossing. Die klank

    vanhierdieorrelwordnieelektroniesopgewek

    orrels van oor die wreld.

    Pyporrels bestaan uit honderde en selfs tien-

    duisende pypewat op n sekeremanier in n or-

    relkas gerangskik word, na gelang van die

    klank en karakter van die spesifieke orrel.

    Met elektroniese instrumente is die klank

    van elke pyppresies dieselfde volumeenkan

    n mens dadelik hoor dat dit nie natuurlik is

    nie. Met die Rodgers-orrel word daar n 3D-kas

    geskep en elke register (klankkleur)wordhier-

    ingerangskik.Ditwilsdieklankisongelooflik

    natuurlik en selfs n geoefende oor sal nie die

    verskil tussen n regte pyporrel en n Rodgers

    kan uitken nie.

    Daar is vier tipe pyporrels (Amerikaans, En-

    gels,DuitsenFrans),elkeenmetspesifiekeken-

    merke en klank. Wanneer n pyporrel gebou

    word,wordeenvanhierdietipesgekiesvolgens

    die klint se spesifikasies.

    Alle orrelmusiek kan ook nie op alle orrels

    gespeel word nie. Daarom sal jy in alle groot

    katedrale ten minste twee pyporrels sien (Ro-

    manties enBarok).Met die aankoop van die di-

    gitaleorrelhetHJSalvierhierdieorrels ineen.

    Met n druk van n knoppie verander die hele

    orrel se klank en karakter.

    Die Rodgers-orrel is ten volle MIDI, wat dit

    perfekmaakvir leerderswatmusiektegnologie

    wil studeer. n Rekenaar kan aan die orrel ge-

    koppel word en enige klank denkbaar kan op

    dieorrel voortgebringword (dinkmaaraandie

    temalied van Chariots of Fire). Die orrel is ook

    n volwaardige digitale klavier.

    Verder het HJS n ryke tradisie met baie for-

    Lots forDiemersfontein

    villa flying fast

    MARYKE SWART

    Lots for a luxury villa at the Diemersfon-

    tein Wine Estate are selling fast with

    more than 70% of the estimate 9 999 lots

    already sold.

    Owners, Peter de Pagter fromHolland and

    hiswifeArletteBoeckx fromBelgiumput the

    gorgeous villa up in the Austrian Lottery.

    The couple have decided to return to Eu-

    rope due to personal reasons.

    De Pagter said that instead of just selling

    the villa, which is located in theDiemersfon-

    tein Wine Estate in the heart of the Boland

    between Paarl and Wellington, he and his

    wife decided to put it in the lottery, which

    is 100% legal and run andmonitored by a no-

    tary inAustria. In doing so, peoplewhodont

    necessarily havemillions to buy such a love-

    ly home will have the chance to become its

    new owner.

    Ten of thousands of people in Europe

    dream of property in South Africa, but only

    a few can afford to live in such a beautiful

    house, on such a beautiful estate.

    De Pagter says with the lottery, everyone

    stands a chance to win.

    Thewinnings include this dreamproperty

    on17 000 mof land,with its luxuryvillacom-

    pletely furnished for six persons, a swim-

    ming pool and a sauna.

    All taxes and fees, such as notary fees,

    transfer fees, local taxes until the date of

    transfer, and gaming tax arising from the

    transferof thevilla to thewinner,will becov-

    ered by De Pagter and Boeckx.

    But thats not all, the owner of thewinning

    lotteryticket, if fromabroad,will receive two

    return tickets (economy class) from a major

    European airport (Amsterdam, Brussels,

    Frankfurt, London) to Cape Town, as well as

    a one weeks stay in the vicinity.

    During this stay, all official documents

    will be prepared and the transfer of the prop-

    erty in the name of the new owner will take

    place.

    Should the winner be from South Africa,

    De Pagter says, he or she and their partner

    will receive a return trip to any European

    destination, which also includes one weeks

    accommodation.

    He says the winner of the villa will have

    to give them three months to get all their

    things together andmove out, in which they

    will pay the new owner 1 500 (R22 000) rent

    per month. Only a few lots are still available

    and can be ordered on line during the regis-

    tration process.

    The first lot cost 99 with a fixed price of

    R1 500 for South African buyers, despite the

    exchange rate.

    The more lots you buy the cheaper each

    lot gets. Lots have already been sold in 30 dif-

    ferent countries. The draw takes place on 31

    May and can be followed via live streaming

    at www.winyourdreamvilla.com.

    Here you will also be able to get all the in-

    formation needed to successfully book and

    purchase your lottery ticket.

    Taking to thehigh seas to fight cancer

    Fourteenbraveswimmers last

    week took to the treacherous

    waters of Cape Point in sup-

    port of Paarl based charity,

    Little Fighters Cancer Trust.

    All fourteen swimmers who

    participated in last weeks Swim

    For Hope an extreme open wa-

    ter swim around Cape Point

    successfully completed the 8 km

    swim,while both themale and fe-

    male records for the route were

    broken.

    The group entered thewater at

    Diaz Beach just after 09:00, hav-

    ing tonegotiateheavysurfbefore

    heading towards the point

    through rough waters ranging

    between 12,5 and 16C. The swim

    was carried out in accordance

    with open water and English

    Channel swimming rules: only a

    single swimsuit (nowet suit), cap

    and goggles may be worn, and

    swimmers have to start and end

    on land without ever making

    physical contact with any mem-

    bers of the support crew or the

    boat.

    Anthony Pearse was the first

    swimmer to finish in a time of

    1:41, taking 21minutes of the pre-

    vious record which was jointly

    heldbyhimself andUKswimmer

    Ned Denison. Carina Bruwer

    shaved 2 minutes off her 2004 fe-

    male record time, finishing in a

    time of 2:18.

    Another swimmer, Richard

    Child, isnowtheoldest swimmer

    to have successfully rounded

    Cape Point, at the age of 61.

    Carina, fromtheSAMAaward-

    ated Swim For Hope with a solo

    rounding last year, and decided

    to turn it into an invitational in

    ordertoincreasefund-raisingpo-

    the gruelling swim: Im so hap-

    py everythingwentwell; the con-

    ditions at the start did not look

    too promising but fortunately it

    improved once we rounded the

    point. Im so proud of all the

    brave swimmers, especially Ri-

    chard and Lindsay who put up a

    valiant effort.

    tional aspect of watching these

    selfless individuals fighting to

    This will form part of a three

    Thaamir started his sales ca-

    to team leader and managed a

    team of 12 agents averaging 1,2

    Die verhaal agter die ontstaan

    van die boek Die Lewe Suid van

    Markstraat is nuitsonderlikever-

    haal van vergiffenis en van ver-

    soening tussen gemeenskappe,

    hetdieburgemeestervanDraken-

    stein,GesievanDeventer,verlede

    week by die bekendstelling van

    die boek op Wellington ges.

    Die Lewe Suid vanMarkstraat ver-

    tel van die pyn en hartseer wat deur

    gedwonge verskuiwings veroorsaak

    is toeditgedurendedieapartheidsja-

    re in Suid-Afrika ingestel is.

    Die boek het ontstaan toe Herman

    Bailey, n voormalige burgemeester

    van Wellington, en die Wellingtonse

    museumnpaarjaargeledediemense

    vanWellingtonwat indertydnegatief

    deur die verskuiwings geraak is, in

    n reeksgespreksbyeenkomstebyme-

    kaar gebring het sodat hulle oor die

    uitwerking van die verskuiwings

    kon gesels.

    Al die gesprekke is op band vasgel

    en die bande is deur n span onder lei-

    ding van die Wellingtonse skrywer

    Winnie Rust getranskribeer en ver-

    werk tot n manuskrip wat nou in

    boekvorm verskyn het.

    Volgens Van Deventer is die boek

    propvol wonderlike verhale. Daar is

    skreeusnaakse beskrywings van

    sommige van diemense wat deel was

    vandiWellington indiedaevoordie

    verskuiwings. Daar is ook tientalle

    hartseerverhale van gesinne wat die

    woonplekke waar hulle geborge ge-

    voel het en gelukkig gewoon het,

    moes verlaat om onder haglike om-

    standighede anderkant Mark-

    straat te gaan woon.

    Hierdie is n boek wat die versoe-

    nende rol wat nmuseum en die posi-

    tiewe rol wat die kerk in die lewe van

    ngemeenskapkanspeel,duidelikon-

    derstreep.Dit beligdie inborsvandie

    gemeenskap wat destyds deur hier-

    die verskuiwings geraak is. By die

    lees van die boek besef jy skielik dat

    daar nrens protesaksies en woede

    was nie, want hierdie gemeenskap

    het bestaan uit mense wat werklik

    kon vergewe en wat bly glo het in n

    beter en n positiewe uitkoms on-

    danks die swaarkry waarin hulle

    skielik gedompel was.

    Tydens die gedwonge verskui-

    wings wat tussen 1958 en 1970 inWel-

    lington plaasgevind het, is die bruin

    gemeenskap vandie dorpuit diemid-

    dedorp na n gebied suid van Mark-

    straat verskuif.

    Volgens Herman Bailey, wie se fa-

    milie self deur die verskuiwings ge-

    raak was, is dit opvallend dat nie n

    enkele blanke huishouding deur die

    verskuiwings geraak was nie. Die

    verskuiwingslyn was so getrek dat

    dit slegs bruin huishoudings geraak

    het.

    skuiwings geraak is, n groot mate

    week hul diep medelye

    uitgespreek met die

    Volgens die Boland Rugbyunie se presi-

    mens en het n groot by-

    Ek hou van die buitelewe en veral sport,

    waarvan fietsry my gunsteling is.

    Ek is n hardwerkende persoon en sien

    altyd uit na nuwe uitdagings.

    Ek was altyd soort van n introvert, maar

    deur my sport het ek meer na buite begin

    lewe en ek sosialiseer gemakliker.

    Ek hou nie van dinge wat my terughou

    indie lewenie,wantekwerkaltydmet sukses

    as my uiteindelike doelwit.

    Ek moes dikwels van my gewoontes en

    stokperdjies laat vaar het omdat dit in my

    pad gestaan het as dit kom by fietsry. As

    ek besluit het om iets aan te pak, werk ek

    regtig baie hard daarvoor om my doelwit

    te bereik, en ek glo om net my beste te lewer.

    Ek glo ommy lewe te lei asof ek elke oom

    blik aftel. Tyd wat verbygaan kom nie weer

    nie en ek wil nie spyt wees oor verlore ge

    leenthede nie.

    Ek hou van jazz en Afrikaanse musiek,

    dit laat my ontspan.

    van die bestes in die wreld, word en een

    dag my eie professionele span h.

    Ek glo aan absolute eerlikheid en eerlike

    harde werk.

    Ek het al baie gebaat by respek en selfres

    pek en probeer altyd rolmodelle vind in my

    gemeenskap.Hardewerkwordmet neerste

    plek beloon.

    Ek het KN gekies omdat die skool goeie

    sport enakademieseprestasies behaal.Die

    opvoeders gee baie om vir die leerders en

    stap regtig die ekstra myl om almal van ons

    hier by die skool te ondersteun.

    My prestasies is as volg: In 2012 het ek

    aan die SAbaanfietsbyeenkoms in Johan

    nesburg deelgeneem en twee silwermedal

    jes verower.

    In 2013 het ek SA kleure gekry in fietsry

    en is ook aangewys as Junior Springbok.

    Dieselfde jaar het ek aan die junior wreld

    kampioenskappe deelgeneem en einde van

    di jaar is ek aangewysasmy skool se sport

    man van die jaar.

    Ek is vanjaar opgeneem in groep fietsry

    ers waaruit die span gekies gaan word wat

    die land inSeptember inEngelandgaanver

    teenwoordig.

    Ek het tydens die Cape Argus in die Elite
