Groot skietvoorval-skok

D

ie voorval waarin n bekende inwoner

van Durbanville Vrydag vroegoggend

in sy huis in Vergesig, Durbanville ty-

dens n huisrooftog geskiet is, het inwoners

geskok gelaat.

Dit was moontlik die eerste voorval ng

waarin iemand in n huisrooftog in Durban-

ville geskiet is.

Dit kom te midde van n nuwe vlaag van

huisrooftogte in woonbuurte aangrensend

aan landelike gebiede veral Aurora en

Vergesig inDurbanville, enOudeWesthof in

Bellville.

Die 52-jarige John-Barry Burger, bekend

opdiedorp enookpresident vandieOnePer-

centersMotor Cycle Club, l sedert die voor-

val onder verdowing in die waakeenheid

van die MediClinic Durbanville weens die

ernstige aard van sy beserings.

Hy, sy verloofde, Wendy van Zyl, en n

paartjie vanWindhoek, wat daar sou oornag

het, het omstreeks 02:15 omdie kombuistafel

in sy huis in Parkerstraat sit en kuier toe

die voorval plaasgevind het.

Volgens n goeie vriend van hom, Koos

Smit, wat vroer die aand ook saammet hul-

le gekuier het, maar reeds huis toe was, het

Burger se verloofde hom histeries ten tyde

van die voorval uit die badkamer naby die

voordeur, waar sy geskuil het, gebel.

Hy het by die polisiekantoor omgejaag om

hulp tekry enhomdadelik daarheengehaas.

Burger het glo in n stadium opgestaan en

badkamer toe gegaan, toe hy die vier rowers

met klapmusse in die leefvertrek sien. Een

was gewapen met n vuurwapen en die res

met kapmesse.

Burgerhet sy boerboel, Zeus, geroep enbe-

veel om hulle aan te val, toe die skote klap.

Burger is in sy bo-arm en in sy maag getref.

Die koel het symilt deurboor, sy linkerlong

deels geskeur en is net duskant sy hart by

sy rug uit.

Sy verloofde het na die badkamer gehard-

loop en haar daar gaan toesluit, terwyl die

ander paartjie by die voordeur uit in die

straat in gehardloop het om hulp te soek.

Toe ek daar aankom, het John-Barry in

die kombuis gestaan en reeds baie swaar

asem gehaal, het Smit vertel.

Burgerhet neergeval toehygetref is,maar

weer opgestaan, en vermoedelik in die chaos

n die skietery onder die indruk verkeer dat

sy verloofde by die trappe op is na die boon-

ste verdieping en moontlik in gevaar ver-

keer.

T

he new instant tree avenue in Voor-

trekker Road in Durbanville is a

R10 million project to upgrade the

Pampoenkraal outspan to a heritage town

square, has already evoked a lot of oohs and

aahs of approval from pedestrians.

TygerBurger visited the street last Thurs-

day to witness how 12 water oak trees were

planted in front of the Silver Creek

Spur restaurant. Pedestrians

made positive comment on the

new look of the street.

Altogether 24 rather grown trees

were planted last week, including

11 Chinese poplars as well as a cor-

al tree. The trees, which were

planted in cavities in the paving,

will be irrigated by an under-

ground bubble system.

The Pampoenkraal outspan is

situated between Voortrekker

Road,MainRoad,WellingtonRoad

and Church Street.

The site, which accommodates

the town hall, has a rich history,

having played an important role in

the development of Durbanville.

The town was originally known as

Pampoenkraal.

This first phase entailed the re-

placement of paving on both sides

of Voortrekker Road, paving of the

road surface, the installation and replace-

ment of services and the installation of tree

planters and irrigation. The second phase

hasnowstartedandwill include the comple-

tion of the main square.

JohanvanderMerwe,Mayco member for

energy, environmental and spatial plan-

ning, said the tender for the construction of

the second phase of the Pampoenkraal up-

grade was advertised in March 2015.

Subsequently, a number of steps were

followed in order to strictly adhere to the

requirements for statutory procedures out-

lined in the Municipal Finance Manage-

ment Act. Mark Darius Civils has been ap-

pointed as themain contractor to undertake

the work, he said.

The contract commenced on 14 January

with a 12-month construction period, Van

der Merwe said. This phase is expected to

be finished by early January next year.

At present the contractor is preparing

the site, which includes site establishment,

locating existing services and earthworks.

Asuitablyqualified landscaping subcon-

tractor will be undertaking all the soft land-

scaping, starting with the tree-planting

along Voortrekker Road, he said.

The overall layout plan is unchanged

and makes provision for all of the elements

agreed to during the public consultation

process. This includes the paving of the site,

tree-planting, various planters and seating

areas, lighting, awater featurewhich utilis-

es water from the original foun-

tain in the area, an amphithea-

tre in front of the town hall, as

well as public art.

More of the existing plants

and mature trees will be re-

tained to enhance the green

quality of the site. The form and

layout of planters have been

amended slightly to provide a

balance between greening and

hard surfacing and to facilitate

pedestrian flows across the site.

The design of the water fea-

ture has been developed further

to ensure functionality and pub-

lic safety, he said.

TheCityhas invitedanumber

of experienced artists with ex-

pertise in public art to submit

proposals for the site.

A panel, comprising officials

from various City departments,

as well as art professionals from

the community, was set up and a preferred

artist has been identified through this proc-

ess.

The proposed concept will be further re-

fined during focused public engagement,

he said.

Tree lane an instant hit

VERVOLG VAN BLADSY 1

Smit s Burger het n stuk dekoratiewe

plank in die hande gekry en daarmee by die

trappe opgegaan, maar toe weer vermoede-

lik afgekom toe hy haar nie kon vind nie.

Die stuk hout is later in die slaapkamer ge-

vind. Smit het met hom na die hospitaal ge-

jaag.

Die rowers het vermoedelik toegang tot

die huis verkry deur n oop skuifdeur aan

die agterkant van die huis, wat aan plaas-

grond grens. Hulle het te voet gevlug met

tweeSamsung-selfone nS5- enS6-selfoon.

Burger is verlede Vrydag geopereer en is

op n ventilator in n koma gehou. Volgens

Smit het die dokters aangedui hulle gaan

hom van Woensdag af stadig uit sy koma

probeer bybring en kyk of hy op sy eie kan

asemhaal.

Vriende van Burger het n Pray for

JB-blad op Facebook begin om vir sy her-

stel te bid en mense op datum te hou van

sy vordering.

Volgens kol. Theo Fisher van die Durban-

ville-polisie wek die toename in huisroof-

togte kommer. Veral in woonbuurte wat

grens aan landelike gebiede aan die kant

van Du Noon naby Table View was daar die

afgelope twee, drie maande n toename in

huisrooftogte.

Meer as vyf huisrooftogte is die afgelope

twee maande in die woonbuurte Aurora,

Vergesig en Oude Westhof aangemeld.

Onshet laas in 2013 so baie huisroofvoor-

valle ondervind, waarna dit afgeplat het.

Maar dit het die afgelope paarmaandeweer

opgetel, het hy ges. Volgens Fisher blyk

dit of die huisrowers uit die rigting van Du

Noon op huise toeslaan.

N verlede Vrydagoggend se voorval het

die polisie die gebied met n polisiehond

deursoek, maar die soektog is bemoeilik

deur ligte ren. Spoorsnyers het egter die

oggend omstreeks 10:00 afgekom op twee

vuurwapens n windbuks en n .38 Special-

rewolwer, klapmusse, handskoene, n

breekyster en n boutsnyer, wat onder die

grond begrawe was.

Fisher het ges dit is moontlik dat die ro-

wers die polisie op die N7 gesien het waar

die polisie sigbare polisiringsdienste n

die voorval gedoen het, en daarom besluit

het om dit op die plaas naby die N7 te begra-

we om dit weer later te gaan haal.

Dismoontlik dat die rowers tussenmense

wat vroegoggend op pad werk toe was, oor

die N7 terug na Du Noon beweeg het.

Die polisie het sedertdien voertuig-be-

heerpunte ingestel om motors op die Con-

termanskloofpad te stop as afskrikmiddel.

Met elke skof gaan polisiebeamptes tus-

sen 22:00 en 02:00 die tydwaarindiehuisro-

we meestal plaasvind sigbare polisiring

op die Contermanskloofpad doen.

Die polisie beplanookoperasies saammet

die Bothasig- en Milnerton-polisiekantore,

waarin Du Noon val. Ons het ook Vierlan-

den se buurtwag, en buurtwagte in sektor

3 gewaarsku oor die voorval en om op die

uitkyk te wees vir verdagtes. Ons probeer

alles in ons vermo om n herhaling van

hierdie voorval te voorkom.

Fisher het ges dit het geblyk dat die ro-

wers die drade geknip en moontlik onder-

deur die veiligheidsstrale in die skietslagof-

fer se agtertuin gekruip het.

, , g

Pedestrians are already utilising Voortrekker Road as a walkway. All

the trees these are Chinese poplar trees were planted last week.

T

hewhole idea of StudyXpresswas

sold to us as that formal schooling

will takeplace, another irate par-

ent toldTygerBurger lastweek after an arti-

cle appeared in which the Study Xpress tu-

tor centre in Durbanville was questioned

(Centre of controversy, TygerBurger 24

February).

My wife is way too keen on going to the

gymnasium and on shopping at Tyger Val-

ley to do home schooling with our children.

There is no way she would have opted for

it. We decided on StudyXpress because we

were promised a better education for our

children, he said.

This father, who wants to remain anony-

mous,was one of several concerned parents

who phoned TygerBurger last week after

the article appeared. Many claimed they

were under the impression that their chil-

dren will receive formal schooling at Study

Xpress.

According to the School Act, home-

schooling must take place primarily at the

childs home, or the centre must register as

an independent schoolwith the department

and adhere to a whole lot of requirements

regarding space, design and facilities.

Many questioned the standard of teach-

ing and the fact that some learners have not

even received their text books for the year,

while most learners are already starting to

write tests this week.

Not registered

This debacle came after two parents, of

which one a former facilitator at the tutor

centre, came forward and claimed the tutor

centre is being run as a school, but not reg-

istered as such with theWestern Cape Edu-

cationDepartment (WCED), andnotmerely

a centre where children, who are home

schooled full-time, get extra help in certain

subjects.

According to this father, another two

teachers resigned onMonday, one of which

his childs teacher. He also said that they

were only told last week to fill in forms to

register their children as being home

schooled with the WCED.

Study Xpress, which opened in January

last year on the corner of De Villiers and

Wellington roads, caters for about 80 chil-

dren from Grade R to matric.

The centre makes use of the private Im-

pak curriculum and is accredited as an Im-

pak centre. The cost for a Grade 10 learner

is around R3200 per month.

The WCED is still investigating the tutor

centre.

According to Paddy Attwell, communica-

tions director at the WCED, learners may

receive specialised support at a tuition cen-

tre, but not full-time tuition.

Attwell said parents must apply to their

nearest district office for permission to

home school their child.

A district official will then visit the

home and will then submit recommenda-

tions to our head office, he said. In terms

of the law, home schooling means exactly

that, namely, schooling at home. Sites that

provide full-time, private tuition outside

the home are defined as independent

schools and have to meet specific require-

ments for this purpose, Attwell said.

Way forward

He said once the investigation is com-

plete, the departmentwill engage in consul-

tation to determine the way forward.

Centres have to meet requirements for

an independent school if they wish to pro-

vide full-time tuition. The department will

remind them of these requirements, as re-

quired. Private schools must teach an ap-

proved curriculum, in premises that meet

specified criteria. The principal and teach-

ersmust be qualified and be registeredwith

the South African Council of Educators,

he said.

He added that tuition centres may help

learners with specific needs, but said they

cannot present themselves as independent

schools if they are not registered as such.

As to the way forward if StudyXpress is

found to contravene the law, Attwell said

the department will negotiate with all con-

cerned to find the most practical solution.

Schoolsmaynot be able to accommodate

the learners at themoment. Parents can ap-

ply to home school their children in this

case, as an interim measure, he said.

It can take up to a month to register the

tutor centre as an independent school, if all

the relevant documents are in place.

Attwell continued and said the Depart-

ment of Basic Education (DBE) was review-

ing its current policy on home schooling,

which will apply nationally.

IvanGrobler,managing director of Study

Xpress, said it must be a misinterpretation

by parents who were under the impression

the tutor centre was run as a school.

On a question by TygerBurger why so

many parents misinterpreted this, he said

he couldnt explain it, as it was made clear.

Grobler admitted that some learnersmay

not have received their text books, but that

it was a problem with the supplier. He said

the learners all have the relevant learning

material needed for the upcoming test se-

ries.

DESIRE RORKE

@dezzierorke

W

hile local ward councillors in

Brackenfell and Kraaifontein la-

ment the general lawlessness of

motorists coupled with a critical shortage

of traffic cops, City authorities rebuff this

correlation.

It is a myth that staff numbers will

change anything about lawlessness on the

roads ... All the enforcement resources in

the world will not eradicate lawlessness.

Yes, visible policing is important, but so

too is public cooperation and regard for the

law ... We have increased the staff signifi-

cantly and almost doubled the number of

traffic fines we issue, but it does not change

the behaviour on the road as only an in-

crease in fine payment rates will influence

that, said JP Smith, Mayco member for

safety and security, in response to a media

enquiry.

When recently discussingmonthly statis-

tics tabled for the month of November 2015,

ward councillors Grant Twigg and Marian

Nieuwoudt were adamant something has

to be done.

Something is wrong. It cannot go on like

this year in and year out, said Twigg dur-

ing a sitting of Subcouncil 2.

Nieuwoudt said serious discussions with

the particular directorate andMaycomem-

ber were necessary.

Specifically referring to taxi violations,

Nieuwoudt said the current lawlessness

will continue for as long as the City experi-

ences a staff shortage.

Traffic official Desr Benadie was pep-

pered with relevant questions.

Benadie retorted by saying they (the traf-

fic department) simply did not have enough

manpower in the northern district to do a

sufficient job. We have 12 patrolling offi-

cers that have to cover three shifts daily.

That leaves us with four officers on the

road per shift for the entire area, which in-

cludes Belhar, Bellville South, Bellville,

Durbanville, Brackenfell andKraaifontein.

Additionally we often have to sacrifice

twoofficers for joint operationswith the po-

lice, such as Fiela, leaving us with only two

officers, she said.

If we had twenty officers or more, we

could be in all the areas every day, but we

cant and this is my frustration.

Smith admitted that the current staff

numbers are inadequate and below the lev-

els they have identified as ideal.

This is the sad reality. Ideally 1200 more

staff are currently required in Metro Po-

lice, Traffic and Law Enforcement, he

said, but added the current number is dra-

matically better than it was in 2006 when

the current administration inherited the

City from the ANC.

Although we have grown the enforce-

ment staff numbers to just below 3000 now,

it should have been 600 or 800 higher, and

we continue to struggle to make up for this

massive setback between 2002 and 2006 un-

der the ANC, he said.

Whilewehave foughtveryhard for addi-

tional budget to appoint extra staff mem-

bers, it should be borne in mind that the

City does not have limitless budget and that

we have to work carefully with the resour-

ces we do have.

We could always do with more resour-

ces, but to suggest that little or no enforce-

ment is happening is grossly untrue. The

facts are that we have added 120 more traf-

fic officers to the budget in this current fi-

nancial year and these staff are currently

being trained and will be deployed over the

next few months.

Parvovirus can be a costly killer

MICHELLE LINNERT

@linnertmb

Y

ou waited your whole life to buy a Rot-

tweiler puppy and when you can final-

ly afford one, it gets parvovirus and

dies within two weeks after you bought it

from the breeder.

This is the scenario involving a disgrun-

tled couple after they bought a puppy from

a breeder who charges R6000 per puppy.

The man got a 50% discount from the

breeder, his colleagues wife, and was able

topickup the longed-forpuppywithinweeks

after its birth, and with only onemore injec-

tion to go.

However, the puppy almost immediately

got gravely ill.

I had incurred costs from the vet when

I rushedmydog to the animal clinic inKenil-

worth after it had developed parvovirus, but

it was already too late. They said they could

try to help him, but chances were that he

wouldnt pull through, said the man, who

asked not to be named.

It would have cost him R15 000, he said, to

have the puppy treated, but he and his wife

decided against this and to rather have the

puppy euthanised, as this was too steep and

the puppys odds to survive were so slim. If

they get this disease, its basically over for

them.

Theman saidwhen they collected the pup-

py, the breeder said it was due for one last

inoculation.

Final vaccination

Whenwe got there,wewere told the dog

still needed its final vaccination. We only

had the dog for twoweeks. Thebreeder fail-

ed to get the third injection.

After the dog died, the couple had a disa-

greement with the breeder, who they said

refused to reimburse them, or allow them

to have a new puppy.

The breeder told us the breed was very

susceptible to this virus and there was

nothing they could have done differently.

Its always been a childhood dreamofmine

to own a Rottweiler. I saved up to buy this

one, he said.

TygerBurger put the question to the staff

at the Tygerberg Animal Hospital (TAH) of

what could have been done to save the pup-

py in this instance, and what others can do

should they suspect the virus in their own

dog.

According to veterinarian Dr Ryan Nor-

rie, they see a lot of darker coloured dogs

being infected with the parvovirus.

We do happen to see a lot ofwhatwe call

blackand tandogs, suchasRottweilers and

German shepherds, but all dogs are suscep-

tible to the virus. Some dogs have a strong-

er immune system than others, he said.

According to him, prices for treatment

vary based on the treatment plan followed

and the number of days a puppy will stay

in isolation a highly sterilised room where

the animal is kept separate from other pa-

tients.

Whenadog or puppy is admitted into isola-

tion, theywill be placed onadrip thatwill con-

tain a number of antibiotics, painmedication,

and a five-course dewormer.

Glucose, proteins and electrolytes are con-

tinuously checked in order to tailor treatment

where needed. If a patient is not improving

with the initial treatment plan, then we will

formulate a new one until we find one that is

accepted, he said.

Norrie added it was vital that the patient is

kept hydrated and fed a big challenge, as

the patient will suffer from diarrhoea and

vomiting.

Forcefed

At this point the patient can be given anti-

nausea and anti-ulcer medication, and is

usually force-fed with new syringes with ev-

ery feed. However, sometimes nasal feeding

with tubes becomes necessary, he said.

TAHwill bathe the patient often and apply

petroleum jelly and baby powder to sensi-

tive areas because of the constant diarrhoea,

with fresh bedding given with every bath.

The isolation ward, equipment, doctors,

nurses and orderlies are constantly being

sprayedwithF10 .We find that extra loveand

TLC can make a difference to a scared and

depressed fur baby. It is very important to

have constant monitoring as you just dont

know with parvovirus!

Tyger Valley Centre joined

hands to host the event.

All the proceeds of the 5km

event were donated to anoth-

ESME ERASMUS

A

Durbanville environmentalist and

adventurer has been honoured with

an invitation to accept lifetime mem-

bership of the exclusiveTheExplorersClub

one of the oldest and most respected insti-

tutes for scientific exploration in theworld.

John Lucas, environmental educator, ex-

pedition manager and founder of ex-

plore4knowledge, has been using his pas-

sion for youth development to promote sci-

ence through exploration since 2011 or as

his organisation simply puts it, promoting

its EducationThroughAdventure vision.

Since 2013, Lucas self-funded sponsor-

supported educational projects and expedi-

tions have reached over 15 000 students at

a grass roots level since 2013 promoting

the plight and understanding of critical re-

sources and the importance of fresh water.

Founder of explore4knowledge

Over the years his work has caught the

attention of many prominent business peo-

ple, as well as seen him nominated and the

recipient of various national and interna-

tional awards for innovation in conserva-

tion.

Among others, he had been named the

winner in the eco-youth category of the En-

viropaediaEco-LogicAwards in 2014 for his

work with explore4knowledge, the organi-

sation he founded to promote environmen-

tal awareness among the youth. The latest

feather in his cap is the lifetime member-

ship hewas invited to accept byTheExplor-

ers Club, based in New York city.

For the past 111 yearsmembers of TheEx-

plorers Club have dedicated themselves to

the advancement of field research, scientif-

ic exploration, resource conservation and

the ideal that it is vital to preserve the in-

stinct to explore.

Of their members have included Sir Ed-

mund Hillary (first Everest summit), Neil

Armstrong (first man on the moon) and

Thor Heyerdahl (a Norwegian adventurer

and ethnographer who became notable for

his Kon-Tiki expedition in 1947).

The clubs mission is to inspire explora-

tion and the protection ofwild places from

our backwoods to our oceans, mountain

peaks and distant galaxies while sustain-

ing a spirit of fellowship among explorers

and the scientific community, Lucas says.

Only a handful

I am told there are a mere handful mem-

bers in South Africa and as a 27-year-old it

was apparently quite unique to receive an

invitation for membership, he said.

He is not only honoured to be invited to

become a member of such a prestigious

club, but continues to managed his unique

environmental research and social uplift-

ment expeditions alongside his major part-

ners and sponsors with more information

around their nextmajor expedition to be re-

leased soon.

Lucas and explore4knowledge also man-

age smaller projects such as educational ex-

peditions and learning expeditions for local

schools, tertiary institutions and corporate

companies to not only promote scientific

exploration, but to also fund outreach pro-

jects to schools at a grassroots level through

their syllabus-based science, biology and

geography workshops and programs.

Lucas sense of adventure started at a

young age.He receivedhis SpringbokScout

Award in matric at Fairmont High School

in Durbanville in 2006.

He graduated in Nature Conservation in

2010 at CPUT, followed by a B-Tech degree

in Nature Conservation at Nelson Mandela

Metropolitan University at its George cam-

pus the followingyear.He isnow inhis final

year of his Masters degree in eco-toxicolo-

gy. The subject of his thesis is metal pollu-

tion in fresh water in the Olifants River ba-

sin in the Western Cape.

Ek is n 55-jarige man van die

Wes-Kaap wat sy werk verloor

het as gevolg van herstrukture-

ring en die algehele stand van

die SA ekonomie.

So het ek op vroe pensi-

oen gegaan n 30 jaar by

hierdie groot maatskappy en

danksy God se genade en my

volgehoue geloof, het ek n

ander betrekking bekom binne

agt dae nadat my vorige

loopbaan beindig is. Die nuwe

betrekking is in die suidelike

voorstede. Voorheen het ek net

6 km gereis tot by my werk in

die noordelike voorstede. Nou

doen ek elke dag 22 km met my

motorfiets deur die gauntlet

(die N1), soos baie ander

motorfietsryers.

Die punt van my brief is om

baie, baie dankie te s aan

99,9% van ons motoriste op die

N1 vanaf die middestad na die

noordelike voorstede.

Ek het Saterdag my eerste

Feast of the Grape bygewoon en

dit was nogal heel lekker.

Net twee voorstelle aan die

organiseerders:

Die toegangsroete is nie baie

gebruikersvriendelik nie. Almal

wat die fees bywoon, ry nie met

viertrekvoertuie nie. Die

plaaspad is nie baie goed vir

gewone motors nie. Ek is

oortuig dat ek nie die enigste

persoon is wat so voel nie.

Daar moet meer sitplek in die

skadu wees. Daar was n groot

tent en verskeie sambrele, maar

dit was nie voldoende nie. Te

veel mense moes in die son

rondstaan en dit was een van

die redes waarom ons vroeg die

fees verlaat het.

Behalwe vir bogenoemde was

dit een van die beter feeste wat

ek bygewoon het.

Ek hoop om volgende jaar nie

weer my motor se onderstel te

beskadig op die plaaspad nie en

dat daar genoeg sitplek in die

skadu sal wees.

Ek is bevrees Deon Roux sit die

pot mis in sy brief Woord

bakkie van Amerika afkom-

stig (TygerBurger, 24 Februa-

rie) met sy verduideliking dat

die woord bakkie eintlik

afkomstig is van die Ameri-

kaanse buck en key.

Sy verduideliking dat buck

die ding is wat jy geskiet het, is

nie reg nie, want elke soort

wildsbok word as buck

beskryf, veral as hy nog

springlewendig is. As die

voertuig dan in Amerikaans n

buck key genoem word,

hoekom gebruik hulle dit nie so

in hul taal nie? Hulle praat

deurentyd van n pickup.

Die woord bakkie is n eg

Afrikaanse skepping. Dit kom

waarskynlik uit die boeregele-

dere wat eerste met hierdie

ligter voertuie begin rondry

het. Die bak was die groot

vragmotor, en die kleiner, ligter

ene die bakkie. S eenvoudig.

Die woord is al so ingeburger

dat dit ook al in Suid-Afrikaan-

se Engels gebruik word, net

soos veld.

SLICE OF LIFE

Afrikaans kan

net oorleef as

almal baklei

Dit was my oupa wat jare gelede tydens

die onluste opgemerk het: Moenie worry

nie, my kind, ons is so onbelangrik, hulle

maak ons nie eens dood nie.

Die ons na wie hy verwys het was

natuurlik bruinmense, wat volgens sy

berekening nie n noemenswaardige

speler in die politieke spel was nie.

Die laaste ruk gaan ons land gebuk

onder universiteitsgeweld met ernstige

rasse-ondertone. Sommige sal s dit is nie

rasgedrewe nie, maar uit hierdie hoek

lyk #whitepeoplemustfall, saamgelees met

#afrikaansmustfall, vir my na niks

anders as rassisme nie.

n Geveg wat begin het met #feesmust-

fall het skielik nou verander in n

rassistiese geplunder wat as #afrikaans-

mustfall vermom word. Al die vuur wat

kamstig oor Afrikaans gespoeg word,

word in die rigting van wit Afrikaans-

sprekendes geslinger. Nrens sien jy n

ou met n t-hemp wat s #bruinouens

moet val nie.

Word bruinmense

se aandeel in die

ontstaan en ontwik-

keling van Afri-

kaans so misken

dat daar nie eens

teen hulle betoog

word nie? Of is die

kamstige nuwe

revolusionre so

oningelig oor die

soetste taal dat

hulle eienaarskap,

en by implikasie

kriminaliteit, net

aan witmense

toedig?

Kan mens dalk redeneer dat die bruin

Afrikaanssprekendes se stemme oorverdo-

wend stil is wanneer daar vir die behoud

van die taal geveg word?

Is dit so dat die bruinman opsy staan

en kyk hoe sy moertaal aan flarde geskiet

word weens sy verhouding tot n vergane

regime?

Of was my oupa reg toe hy s hulle

maak ons nie eens dood nie, want ons

insae dra nie gewig nie?

Ek is daarvoor te vinde dat ander

nasionale tale tot wetenskaps- en regstale

uitgebrei word. Dat sprekers van ander

tale ook die voorreg gegun word om die

toilet-aanwysings in sy eie taal te kan

lees.

Maar moet ek teen die kantlyn staan en

toekyk hoe Afrikaans doodgemaak word?

Moet ek dankie s dat ek nie ingesleep

word in die geweld nie?

Afrikaans kan net oorleef as almal,

ongeag velkleur, ewe hard baklei teen

diegene wat glo die dood van een taal

gaan die oplewing van n ander aanhelp.

Alle sprekers van die taal moet ook

ewe hard veg vir die uitbouing van ander

tale. Brenden Ruiter

n

Vrou van Durbanville is ontsteld

dat jong kinders s virmisdaadmis-

bruik word nadat haar handsak by

haar voete by n koffiewinkel in die Tyger-

vallei-sentrum deur n kind gesteel is.

Volgens Lollos Rodseth het sy en drie an-

der op Saterdag 13 Februarie by Vida e Caff

oorkant Woolworths in die sentrum koffie

gedrink. Ons het aan die kant van die oop

koffiewinkel gesit en ek het my handsak by

my voete neergesit. Dit was so 16:20 toe ek

besef my handsak is weg. Toe ons daarna op

die sentrum se videomateriaal kyk, kon ons

duidelik sien nmankomstaanewenon-cha-

lant met sy rug na ons naby aan ons tafel.

Aan die oorkant het n vrou gestaan en

in ons rigting gekyk. By haar was n klein

dogtertjie, ek skat so tussen 4 en 6 jaar oud.

Die kind het tussen die man se bene deur,

ongemerk onder ons tafel ingekruip en my

handsaknader getrek. Met di dat sy die sak

in die hande gekry het, het dieman haar tus-

sen sy bene deur in die lug opgetel en hulle

het by die sentrum uitgestap, my handsak

oor sy skouer, vertel sy.

Haar iPhone is later byGroentemarkplein

inKaapstad nagespoor,maar die polisiewas

nie beskikbaar om haar by te staan om dit

daar te gaan soek nie, vertel sy.

Dis skokkend dat mense hul kinders so

misbruik. Watter kans het daardie kind om

normaal groot te word, het sy ges.

Laretha Blom, bemarkingsbestuurder

van die Tygervallei-winkelsentrum, het ge-

s mense moet waaksaam wees ten opsigte

van hul besittings in enige publieke gebied,

veral by oop restaurante.

Mense moet heeltyd hul besittings in die

oog te hou op die tafel of tussen hul voete,

sodat hulle sal voel as daarmee gepeuter

word.

Maj. Fienie Nimb, woordvoerder van die

Bellville-polisie, het ges mense is gerus en

ontspanne as hulle winkelsentrums besoek

en gevolglikmaklike teikens vir opportunis-

te. Volgens haar is daar gereeld voorvalle

waarin vroue se handsakke uit winkeltrol-

lies of selfs uit diemandjies van kinderstoot-

waentjies gesteel word.

Diefstal waarin kinders betrokke was, is

egternie soalgemeennie. Vrouemoetmaar

heeltyd bewus wees van hul handsakke en

dit nie oor stoele se armleunings hang, of by

hul voeteneersit nie.Daarwasookal gevalle

waar mense se beursies uit hul broeksakke

op die roltrappe gesteel word.

or the first time in a decade, the Paarl

School for the Neurally Disabled in

Brackenfell was not the top performer

in the national Casual Day campaign.

They did however scoop the second place

for 2015, raising a whopping R148 080.

The top performers for the 2015 campaign

were recently announced at a breakfast at

the Table Bay Hotel.

The organisation that raised the most do-

nations for Casual Day in the province was

the Western Cape Association for Persons

with Disabilities (WCAPD) in Milnerton,

raising R183 525.

Cher Botha Special School in Durban-

ville was in third place with R141 740.

Jan Kriel School in Kuils River occupied

the sixth position with R97 000.

Local Cape Town motivational speaker

Shoni Khangala regaled the audience with

personal stories of how his life had been en-

riched by his interaction with persons with

disabilities.

The public added R27 million nationally

to the donations raised by Casual Day over

the past two decades, bringing the national

total collected for 21 years to R249 million.

Sponsored by the Edcon group and sup-

ported by a number of corporates, Casual

Day is the flagship project of the National

Council for Persons with Physical Disabili-

ties in SA (NCPPDSA).

Says project leader Vanessa du Plessis:

We would like to thank all Western Cape

employers who permit their employees to

take part in Casual Day.

It is very interesting to note that employ-

ees who participate in projects like Casual

Day are more positive, motivated and pro-

ductive at work. Doing good as a team gives

employees a feeling of pride and mean-

ing,she further says.

The donations will be distributed to the

following beneficiaries:

The National Council for Persons with

Physical Disabilities in SA, South African

National Council for the Blind, SA Federa-

tion for Mental Health, Deaf Federation of

South Africa, Autism South Africa, Down

Syndrome South Africa, the National Asso-

ciation for Persons with Cerebral Palsy, the

South African National Deaf Association,

the National Institute for the Deaf, Quad-

Para Association of South Africa, Alzheim-

ers South Africa and the South African Dis-

ability Alliance.

G

etting the uncon-

trolled breeding of

dogs and cats under

control, is the main aim of

Fisantekraal Animal Wel-

fare (FAW), says spokesper-

son Jennifer Davies.

It is also one of our most

challenging. People make

money out of puppies and

dont care where they end

up. Some still believe the

myth that dogs should have

one litter before being

spayed, which is absolutely

not true.

Others think it is unnat-

ural to sterilise, and many

men seem to feel uncomfortable neutering

male dogs. People dont realise that they are

all actually contributing to their health and

well-being problems, Davies says.

The situation is worsened by people in

nearby suburbs giving their pets to resi-

dents adeplorable act, especially if theyare

not sterilised. There are more than enough

animals al-

ready. We

will not give

up our sterili-

sation pro-

gramme as

we know that

this is the on-

ly way to get

the popula-

tion under

control and

fight animal

neglect and

abuse.

Unhealthy, unvaccinated

animals can carry illnesses

and parasites, such as fleas,

worms, ringworm and ticks.

Ensuring that animals are

vaccinated, free of parasites

and treated for contagious

conditions, is critical to the

health of people, especially

children who are often in

closer contactwithanimals,

Davies says.

FAW is a non-profit orga-

nisation working in Fisante-

kraal, Morning Star, Klip-

heuwel and surrounding

farms.

FAW welcomes volunteers

on Tuesdays and Saturdays between 09:00

and 12:00, and during the week on an ad hoc

basis to help with sterilisations in the town-

ship or for fundraising events, as well as do-

nations of second-handhousehold goods and

clothing, money, pet items like collars, and

food.

Fisantekraal Animal Welfare has several

gorgeous dogs up

for adoption. The

adoption fee for

adult dogs is R550

and includes micro-

chipping, vaccina-

tion, deworming

and sterilisation. A

home check is re-

quired.
