Klapmusbende slaan weertoe buite StellenboschELBE VAN HEERDEN

’n Groep mans in klapmusse het vandees-weekweertoegeslaanop’nplaasindieStel-lenbosse landelike gebied.

Volgens lt. Nathalie Martin het die mans opVrydag 25 April om 20:30 op die Le Fleur-land-goed op die Annandale-pad toegeslaan.

“Die klaer, wat die huis opgepas het terwyldie eienaars weg was vir die naweek, was indie eetkamer waar sy sit en lees het toe sy glashoor breek.

“Sy het besef iets is verkeerd en haar selfoongegryp en na die boonste verdieping probeerhardloop, maar twee mans het haar aan haararm vasgegryp voor sy kon vlug. Albei mans,in klapmusse, het haar vasgebind toe nóg tweemans die huis betree. Hulle was met ’n mes en’n skroewedraaier bewapen.

“Hulle het haar aanhou vra waar die kluisis.”

Die mans het deur die huis gegaan en ’n

skootrekenaar en ander elektroniese toestellegesteel voor hulle op die vlug geslaan het.

Dié modus operandi is dieselfde as die vandie berugte klapmusbende wat sedert vroegverlede jaar die landelike gebied teister.

Niemand is nog in hegtenis geneem nie.’n Tweede gewapende huisroof is ook van-

deesweek in die middedorp aangemeld. Dievoorval het op 27 April om 06:00 in Paul Kruger-straat plaasgevind.

“Die klaer en twee van haar vriende was indie slaapkamer toe ’n onbekende man hul wak-ker maak soos wat hy van kamer tot kamer be-weeg het. Die man, wat met ’n mes gewapenwas, het hul gedreig, gesê om stil te bly en hulselfone geëis.

Die man het twee selfone, ’n skootrekenaaren kontant gebuit en gevlug.

Die verdagte is steeds op vrye voet.) Enigeen met inligting rakende die twee

voorvalle kan die ondersoekbeampte, speur-konstabel Marlon Appollis bel by0 021 809 9140.

Daar is een persoon wat baie bly is oor die nuwe NMT-pad langs die R44, en dit is WinstonDeysel. Met sy batterykarretjie moes hy elke dag van Jamestown na die Paradyskloof-winkelsentrumbinne die geel baan ry, wat soms baie gevaarlik is. Nou kan hy die grootste deel van die afstandop die nuwe geplaveide pad ry sonder om die gevaar van motorvoertuie te moet trotseer. Dienuwe NMT-pad vir voetgangers en fietsryers tussen Paradyskloof en die Blaauwklippen/Tegnopark-kruising is byna klaar en net afrondingswerk word tans gedoen. Die pad vorder ook al ’n heleent anderkant die kruising om uiteindelik Jamestown te bereik. ’n Openingsrit vir fietsryers salweldra gereël word wanneer die finale afronding aan die nuwe pad voltooi is.

Ideas for urban renewalIdeas for renewal in the Stellenbosch towncentre, Jonkershoek and Kayamandi, willbe highlighted at a public meeting of theHeritage Foundation Stellenbosch at 18:00onMonday12Mayat theSasolArtMuseum.

The Rhenish complex in Stellenboschtown centre, Kayamandi and Jonkershoekwere themes for workshops at the Institutefor Urban Design’s congress in Stellen-bosch.

Local and international planners, urbandesigners and architects workshopped so-lutions for renewal in these environments.

Professor Henri Comrie and master stu-dents of the University of Cape Town’sSchool of Urban Design, will summariseand present the ideas that flowed fromworkshops on Monday night at the publicmeeting.

Other topics that will be discussed brieflyat the meeting are Stellenbosch’s plannednew spatial development framework andtheproposedchangestoaccessroadstoStel-lenbosch, especially from Somerset West.

The meeting, at 17:30 for 18:00, is open toeveryone.

Munisipaliteit se finansiesuitstekend bestuurLuidens ’n onlangse studie bestuur dieStellenbosch-munisipaliteit sy finansiesuitstekend.

Dit is onlangs uitgewys deur ’n studiedeur die provinsiale tesourie-departe-ment en hoof finansiële beamptes van mu-nisipaliteite in die Wes-Kaap.

“Die Stellenbosch-munisipaliteit se fi-nansiële verhoudings (‘ratios’) is die bes-te vir volhoubaarheid in die Wes-Kaap,”het Vernon Bowers, woordvoerder vandie munisipaliteit, gesê.

“Wat wel aan die lig gekom het, is datsekere dienste en tariewe baie laag is invergelyking met ander klein munisipali-teite en dat hulle nie uitgawes ten opsigtevan al hulle dienste verhaal nie.

“Dit sluit in die uitgawes ten opsigtevan skoonmaakdienste en stortingster-reine, wat deur die inkomste daarvan ver-haal moet word.

“Dié agterstande moet reggestel word.”Die MPAC (Municipal Public Accoun-

ting Committee) is onlangs ingestel.“Die Ouditeur-Generaal (O-G) se ver-

slag dui areas vir verbetering aan wat dieopdatering van inligtingstegnologie-be-

leide, die definiëring van kernprestasie-aanwysers en sommige regstellings aanfinansiële stelsels insluit.

“Die meeste van dié is as gevolg van diefeit dat ons nie die uitgawes van konsul-tante aangegaan het om ons state te doennie en m.a.w. uitgawe-besparings getoonhet en interne kapasiteit gebruik het.

“Al die uitgewysde areas kry gefokusdeaandag om dit reg te stel. Die O-G-verslagis goed vir ’n munisipaliteit met so baieorganisatoriese veranderinge die afgelo-pe 13 jaar,” het Bowers gesê.

Verder sal die munisipaliteit veral opbemarking en verfraaiing fokus aange-sien toerisme een van die area se grootsteekonomiese drywers is.

“Die parkeringskwessie bly ’n pro-bleem, maar besighede wen hier deur diefeit dat daar wel ’n rotasie van voertuieis wat voorheen selfs vir dae op plekkegeparkeer het.”

Die munisipaliteit se doel is om die in-woners van die gebied hul volle toewy-ding aan die volhoubare bestuur van diemunisipaliteit te gee, “soos dit die innova-siehoofstad van die land betaam”.

Stay warm this winterWinter in Cape Town is characterised byrain and wind, which for people living ininformal settlements means draughtydamphomes, flash floods anddisruption oftheir daily lives.MustadafinFoundation isa disaster relief NGO that responds to com-munities in need and offers great tips forkeeping warm, dry and safe this winter.

“We realise the impact winter has on healthand family stress. Preparing for winter doesnot have to be expensive as there are numerousways for residents to keep warm and dry withmaterials at their disposal,” explains Ghairu-nisa Johnstone, director at the MustadafinFoundation.

“Residentsininformalsettlementsshouldbeproperly informed on how to keep warm anddry during the rainy season so they can contin-ue with their daily routine.”

Mustadafin Foundation offers these easy toimplement tips to ensure the rain and cold arekept at bay during winter:

Keep dryRepair leaks in roofs before the first rains

to ensure homes remain dry inside. Remainunder shelter during a downpour and staycovered if going outside. “A lot of people getsick because they expose themselves to the wetweather without wearing waterproof clothingor covers. Even a makeshift rain poncho madeout of black bags will make a difference,” saysJohnstone.

Wear layers of clothingExpensive coats are not compulsory to be

warm during winter. Layers of clothing keepthe body’s heat trapped and can even be warm-er than a heavy thick coat. Insulate the bodywith newspapers to help keep the cold out andthe chest area warm.Remove damp clothing as soon as possibleWet clothing causes a rapid loss of body tem-

perature. Wear dry clothing to reduce the riskof a cold and to ensure better sleep at night.

Start with your feetWarm and dry feet mean a warm body.

Repair shoes and boots before the winter sea-son so that socks remain dry. “A great tip isto insulate socked feet with a plastic bag, fol-lowed by another sock, then shoes. This willkeep feet dry and warm even in the wettestweather,” comments Johnstone.

Stock up on soup and porridgeEver wondered why soup and porridge are

such old time favourites? These warm foodswarm the body from the inside out and keepthe cold at bay. The risk of hypothermia canbe reduced when people on the street have nu-tritious warm meals.

Use sandbags to keep water out of homes“People living in informal settlements can

usematerialsat theirdirectdisposal topreventflooding. A great tip is to put sandbags aroundeach home to help keep houses as dry as possi-ble,” says Johnstone.

Ventilate housesIt is important to keep a flow of air in and

out of houses, especially when using fire forheating. Unhealthy fumes can causerespiratory disease or leave sleepers uncon-scious. Smokey fumes must flow out and cleanair needs to flow back into homes.

Never leave a fire unattendedFalling asleep at the fire may sound cosy but

it is very dangerous. Fire spreads very quicklyand can cause destruction within minutes.

Ensure that no curtains or flammable textiles arenear an open flame

“We all know that accidents can happen veryquickly. Always make sure that open flamesare tended to, to prevent destruction and loss,”concludes Johnstone.

Winter is a great time to show we all careabout our fellow South Africans. MustadafinFoundation distributes warm nutritiousmeals, blankets and second hand clothing todestitute communities throughout the West-ern Cape as part of their Winter Warmth initia-tive.

dered from a local supplier and will be offeredto the public, for them to have a chance to sanddown, varnish and decorate the kennels inteams of two.

New health project to improve service, moraleStellenboschHospital isoneof theWestern Cape Department ofHealth’snewprojects to empowerstaffandchangetheorganisation-al culture.

To achieve this, the Departmentappointed Ernst and Young as con-sultants to facilitate change in an in-novative way.Anexcitinggameplanhasbeende-

veloped with a league where similarinstitutions will compete againsteach other. Prize money of R60 000hasbeenset aside for eachof thewin-ning facilities.The process has been going for a

year now, and is starting to show re-sults, the Western Cape Minister ofHealth, Theuns Botha, told a mediacontingency atKhayelitshaHospital

recently. Stellenbosch Hospital isamong the current participating fa-cilities.Botha said the cost of the project

for two years is R7,62 million. “Webelieve our staff is our most impor-tant asset, and they are at the frontline of engaging with patients everyday.We realise thatwehave to equipthem with the right tools, skills andtechniques for personal develop-ment.”The purpose of the programme is

to change the organisational cultureof the Department in an innovativeway. The focus of the programme ison team work and re-enforcing theDepartment’s shared vision and val-ues. The process strives to supportstaffandofferthemskills intheirdai-lydealingswithpatients,oftenunder

very stressful circumstances. Theprogramme recognises and rewardscommitted employees for walkingthe extra mile. A good example iswhere nursing staff arranged a wed-dingreceptionat the facility fora ter-minally ill patient who was not ableto attend her son’s wedding.The aim is to help staff to relieve

stress, have fun and improve staffmorale.Theultimateaimis toputpa-tient satisfaction at the forefront,which is the vision of Healthcare2030 - patient-centred, quality care.Future interventions include

workshops for champions, groupcoaching for management develop-ment, andacompetition toaward thefacilitywhere staff is bringing tangi-ble results to the patient experience.In thismonth,an innovationsummit

will be held for facilities to generateinnovative ideas from staff on as-pects such as the dilemmas oflengthy waiting times. Surveys aredistributed every month measuringthe previous month’s progress in or-der to see trends, improvements andweaknesses that require further in-tervention.Among the expected outcomes are

a decrease in staff burn-out and ab-senteeism, which in turnwill lead toimproved staff morale, and im-proved communication betweenstaff and patients andmore satisfiedpatients. The long term objective for2030 is to transform the Departmentthrough a sustainable change man-agement strategy into an organisa-tion of which staff and patients willbe proud. Botha said he was encour-

aged by the manner in which the fa-cilitymanagersandtheir teamshaveembraced the Change ManagementProgramme, despite their heavyworkloads on a daily basis. “But thepositive effect on the patient experi-ence will only become visible in thelonger term.” A total of 38 of the De-partment’s facilities across the prov-ince were selected for the first phaseof the organisational change project.TheDepartmenthasdecided to focuson the District Health Servicewheremore than 90% of patients are seen.This means the participating facili-ties comprise a total number of 6 000of the Department’s 32 000 employ-ees. TheDepartmentwill review theproject at each stage, adapt wherenecessary and expand it to covermore facilities over time.
