    SAPD: BEAMPTE BETRAP TOE HY BUITELANDERS VIR GELD AFPERS

    Vrae oor korrupsie

    DESIRE RORKE

    @dezzierorke

    W

    at lei daartoe dat goeie polisiemanne

    hulself skuldig maak aan korrupsie?

    Dis die sleutelvraagopdie lippevan

    Kraaifontein-inwoners nadat n gewilde poli-

    sieman onlangs betrap is toe hy twee buite-

    landse burgers in Scottsdene vir geld probeer

    afpers het.

    Di polisieman wie se naam nie bekend ge-

    maak word nie, is verlede Maandag in hegte-

    nis geneem op aanklagtes van afpersing en

    korrupsie en het Woensdag in Blue Downs se

    landdroshof verskyn, waar hy op borgtog van

    R5 000 onder streng voorwaardes vrygelaat is.

    Hy is ook uit die diens van die Kraaifontein-

    polisie geskors.

    Volgens kapt. F.C. van Wyk word die saak

    deur dieWes-Kaapse provinsiale polisie se an-

    ti-korrupsie-eenheid ondersoek,maar hywou

    geen verdere inligting oor die saak verstrek

    nie.

    n Betroubare bron in die gemeenskap het

    egter aan TygerBurger ges dat die polisie-

    man glo in n voorafbeplande lokval betrap is.

    Sover ons weet was daar al n geruime tyd

    bewerings gemaak dat hy sogenaamde be-

    skermingsgeldbySomalieseburgers indie ge-

    meenskap ontvang het, s die bron.

    Die redes daarvoor is egter nie duidelik nie,

    maar daar word bespiegel dat di geld aan po-

    lisiemanne betaal word om die burgers te be-

    skerm teen ander kriminele elemente in die

    gebied.

    As sektorbestuurder in Kraaifontein, was

    die polisieman bekend in die gemeenskap as

    n betroubare en toegewyde polisiebeampte.

    Dit was n groot skok vir ons, juis omdat

    hy een van ons betroubaarste polisiemanne

    was.

    Hy was altyd beskikbaar en ons kon hom

    enige tyd bel. Hy het ook n groot rol gespeel

    om spesifieke kriminele elemente uit die ge-

    bied te verwyder, s Grant Twigg, n

    wykraadslid van Kraaifontein en n Northpi-

    ne-inwoner.

    As gemeenskap was dit n groot terugslag

    vir ons.

    Dit het ons baie laat dink oor h betrou-

    baar die mense eintlik is wat jy vertrou, s

    hy.

    Brig. Gerda van Niekerk, stasiebevelvoer-

    der by die Kraaifontein-polisiekantoor, het

    aan TygerBurger ges daar sal deurgaans op-

    getree word teen korrupte polisiebeamptes.

    DESIRE RORKE

    @dezzierorke

    n

    Samesmelting van twee subtakke

    van die AHI-sakekamer in die noor-

    delike voorstede beloof om voortaan

    meer betrokkenheid onder plaaslike sakelui

    te bewerkstellig.

    Daar is vandeesweek amptelik aangekon-

    dig dat die eertydse AHI Bellville- en AHI

    Oostenberg-sakekamers nou as die AHI Ty-

    gerberg bekend sal staan.

    Ditmaaknet soveelmeer sin.Werksaam-

    hede sal meer sentraal wees

    en vanuit n bestuursoog-

    punt gaan dit baie makliker

    wees om aktiwiteite te kor-

    dineer, s Phillip van Zijl,

    voorsitter.

    Die AHI Tygerberg be-

    staan reeds sedert die tagti-

    gerjare en het tradisioneel

    Bellville, Parow en Good-

    wood bedien.

    In 2013 was daar in Brac-

    kenfell die behoefte om n sa-

    kekamer te stig, hoofsaaklik

    omdat sakelui besef het dat

    indien Brackenfell nie ook n

    stadsverbeteringsgebied tot

    standbringnie, agteruitgang

    ons dorp se voorland is, s

    Van Zijl, wat ook n inwoner

    en sakeman in di dorp is. Daar is toe besluit

    omonderdie vaandel vandieAHITygerberg

    n Okavango-subkamer te stig.

    Die Okavango-naam was egter verwar-

    rend en later is besluit om dit die Oosten-

    berg-subkamer tenoem,wat tradisioneel die

    groter Brackenfell-gebied insluit.

    In September vanjaarhet ek as voorsitter

    van dieAHITygerbergmetGeorge Ferreira,

    toe voorsitter van die Oostenberg-subka-

    mer, n gesprek gehad oor die sinvolheid van

    n subkamer in Brackenfell.

    Ons het met die Oostenberg-bestuur en

    die AHI Tygerberg-bestuur gekonsulteer en

    besluit om voortaan as een sakekamer te

    funksioneer,wat danBellville, Parow,Good-

    wood en groter Brackenfell sal dek, verdui-

    delik hy.

    Van Zijl s dat huidige lede baie positief

    is oor di verwikkeling. Daar is netwerkge-

    leenthede op verskillende plekke en almal

    kan alles onder een vaandel bywoon.

    Verskeie aktiwiteite word vir volgende

    jaar onder die nuwe sentrale vaandel be-

    plan. In Februarie hou ons n potjiekos-

    kompetisie vir ondernemings en inMaart is

    die algemene jaarvergadering. In April is

    die begrotingsdinee met die Stad Kaapstad

    en in Mei sal daar n netwerkgeleentheid

    wees by die Groen Energie-

    ontbyt. In Junie hou ons n

    brandewyn-proe-aand en in

    Augustus n vroue-ontbyt.

    Ons beplan ook n oplei-

    dingseminaar vir entrepre-

    neurs, waarvan die datum

    later bekend gemaak sal

    word.

    Volgens Van Zijl het die

    AHI Tygerberg baie bereik

    in die laaste paar jaar.

    Ons was instrumenteel

    om die Voortrekkerwegkor-

    ridor-stadsverbeteringsge-

    bied, sowel as die Bracken-

    fell-stadsverbeteringsge-

    bied, te vestig. Voorts het

    ons reeds drie jaar in n ry

    die begrotingsdinee aange-

    bied. Tydens hierdie glansgeleentheid be-

    soek die hoof- finansile beampte van die

    Stad Kaapstad en sy topstruktuur die sake-

    gemeenskap waartydens hulle die Stad se

    begroting aan sakelui verduidelik, ook met

    geleenthede vir vrae en kommentaar.

    In al moeiliker ekonomiese tye doen hy n

    ernstige beroep op alle sakelui om aan te

    sluit by die sakekamer en mekaar so te on-

    dersteun en te herinner aan die AHI se leuse

    van Saam skep ons volhoubare welvaart.

    Bellville resident Marlene le Roux was re-

    cently named the new CEO of the Artscape

    theatre.

    Le Roux has been at the forefront of devel-

    opment through art for more than a decade.

    She has been passionate about making the

    arts accessible to the disabled in her capaci-

    ty as director of audience development and

    education for the theatre, being a disabled

    person herself.

    Belinda Bell Jackson from the United Na-

    tions Association of South Africa (Unasa),

    one of the organisations Le Roux has built

    close ties with, congratulated her at the on-

    set of the campaign calling for 16 days of no

    violence against women and children on 25

    November.

    As director of audience development and

    education at Artscape for the last decade or

    so, she has ensured that manymarginalised

    communities have been greatly empowered

    to become lovers of theatre, and many high

    school kids and young people are currently

    involved in the performing arts through her

    visionary leadership, Jackson said.

    LeRoux is known for staging full Artscape

    productions in some of the provinces poor-

    est townships, fulfilling her dream of taking

    the arts into the heart of the countrys previ-

    ously disadvantaged communities, and leav-

    ing lasting impressions on the youth, with

    the arts well within their reach.

    VERVOLG VAN BLADSY 1

    Dit was n groot verlies vir ons by die po-

    lisiekantoor, maar ongeag hoe goed jy as

    polisieman is, daar sal teen jou opgetree

    word as jy n misdaad pleeg, s sy.

    In hul studie oor polisie-korrupsie in

    Suid-Afrika, voer die navorsers Gareth

    Newham enAndrew Fuall verskeie redes

    aan.

    Heel dikwels is die verduidelikingswat

    gegeeword oor die bestaan van korrupsie

    in die polisie geneig om simplisties te

    wees.

    Soos die algemene verduideliking dat

    korrupsie die gevolg is van geldgierig-

    heid en onderbetaling vir werk onder

    baie moeilike omstandighede, meen hul-

    le.

    Die probleem is volgens die navorsers

    egter meer kompleks, veral in n omge-

    wing waar individue meer geneig is tot

    korrupsie, soos byvoorbeeld die polisie-

    diens.

    Terwyl sommige individue meer ge-

    neig is tot korrupsie as ander, is dit ook

    so dat sekere omstandighede hor vlakke

    vankorrupsie kan bevorder.Wanneer dit

    kombypolisiring is daar aansienlike be-

    wyse dat verskeie risikofaktore bestaan,

    wat die beroep van polisiring meer kor-

    rupsie-geneig as baie ander beroepe

    maak, skryf hulle.

    Hulle verwys na n beginselmodel van

    die akademikus Robert Klitgaardt.

    Volgensdimodel is die geleentheid om

    korrupsie te pleeg baie groter in n omge-

    wing waar die oortreder n monopolie

    van mag geniet oor gewone burgers in n

    konteks waar aanspreeklikheid swak is,

    s hulle.

    As jy hierdie feite in gedagte hou, is

    dit maklik om in te sien dat korrupsie n

    baie werklike beroepsrisiko in die poli-

    siediens is.

    Newham en Faull beweer ook dat poli-

    sielede binne n grootliks wetsgehoorsa-

    me gemeenskap minder geneig is tot kor-

    rupsie as di in samelewings wat geken-

    merk word deur ho vlakke van misdaad

    en korrupsie. Die werwingsprosesse in

    die polisiediens is ook dikwels onvol-

    doende met die gevolg dat individue wat

    nie geskik is vir die werk nie, gewerf

    word, skryf hulle. In Suid-Afrika is daar

    tussen 2001 en 2010 altesaam 80 000 nuwe

    polisielede gewerf.

    Volgens die navorsers het genl. Bheki

    Cele in 2010 ook aan die parlement erken

    dat ons nie gefokus het op kwaliteit nie,

    maar op kwantiteit. Gelukkig het die po-

    lisie se prestasieplan van 2011/2012 die

    belangrikheid van gehalte in werwing as

    volg verklaar: Ons moet verseker dat

    ons in staat is om die regte soort mense

    te werf, dan op te lei en te ontwikkel tot

    die soort polisiebeamptes wat ons graag

    in ons land wil sien.

    DESIRE RORKE

    @dezzierorke

    N

    20 maande se skryf gaan die lang

    verwagte boek oor Kraaifontein en sy

    mense eersdaags die lig sien.

    Die boek getiteld Kraaifontein Stories, ge-

    skryf deur Caren Cronj-Carstens, word Sa-

    terdag 5 Desember in Kraaifontein bekend-

    gestel.

    Ek het reeds in 2010

    besluit om hierdie boek

    te skryf en op 31 Janua-

    rie 2014 amptelik begin.

    Meer as 300 onderhoude,

    baie oproepe, ontelbare

    koppies tee en koffie,

    honderde kilometers se

    ry en e-posse na verskeie

    kontinente later, kon ek

    mypenneersit, sCron-

    j-Carstens ingenome.

    Die boek is eintlik

    deur n hele dorp geskryf

    en ek was net die plat-

    form. Die boek handel

    oor die lief en leed van

    die verskeie gemeen-

    skappe van Kraaifontein

    stories van ouds en sto-

    ries van onthou. Stories

    van grootword, oud

    word, liefde, tragedie en

    hartseer.

    Nageslag

    Dit is ook die eerste boek nog om die ver-

    haal van di dorp en sy mense vir die nage-

    slag aan te teken.

    VolgensCronj-Carstens bevat die ampte-

    like argiewe nie veel inligting oorKraaifon-

    tein nie en moes sy grotendeels staatmaak

    op die oorvertellings van die mense wat oor

    die dekades hier gewoon het.

    Die idee vir die boek het in 2010 by haar

    posgevat toe sy n boek oor haar horskool-

    jare by die Horskool Eben Dnges, wat ook

    in Kraaifontein is, wou skryf.

    Toe vra iemand eendag vir my hoekom

    skryf ek nie n boek oor die dorp nie? Die

    idee het vasgesteek en in 2012 het ek van

    Malmesbury teruggetrek Kraaifontein toe

    om met my navorsing te begin.

    Sy s die boek is nie n geskiedenisboek

    as sulks nie, maar eerder n versameling

    storieswaaruit die geskiedenis vandie dorp

    dan ook gestalte gekry het.

    In die boek vertel sy presies hoekom sy

    so gelukkig hier is. In n ander hoofstuk

    vertel ek van die inwoner wat die langste

    hier woon hy is 84 en is hier gebore.

    Ek het selfs met die hulp van n Face-

    book-blad oud-Kraaifonteiners in Kanada

    en Nieu-Seeland opgespoor, wat hul stories

    gedeel het, s sy.

    Van die mooiste en ook hartseerste sto-

    ries het gehandel oor hoe mense se lewens

    deur die destydse apartheidswetgewing be-

    invloed is.

    Daar is ook baie komiese oomblikke in

    die boek en selfs oorvertellings van mense

    se ervarings tydens die 1969-aardbewing in

    Tulbagh, wat tot in

    Kraaifontein gevoel is.

    n Paar beroemde

    oud-Kraaifonteiners,

    soos die nuusleser Ivor

    Price en sanger Pierre

    Rossouw, vertel ook hul

    stories in die boek.

    Finale produk

    Sy beskryf die finale

    produk as n lekker

    leesboek met baie di-

    verse stories.

    Die hardebandkopie

    is ook die ideale koffie-

    tafelboek.

    Die bekendstelling

    sal Saterdag om 10:00

    baie gepas in die Hor-

    skool Eben Dnges se

    skoolsaal plaasvind,

    waar die skrywer en

    verskeie ander bydra-

    ers tot die boek n

    spreekbeurt sal kry.

    Die A4-boek bevat

    meer as 500 bladsyemetmeer as 250 verhale

    en baie ou fotos van die dorp.

    Met di boek sal die mense in Kraaifon-

    tein opnuutweermekaar se harte leer ken,

    spreek sy haar hoop uit.

    V Kontak die skrywer by 071 524 4533, SMS of

    WhatsApp haar om n boek te bestel. Die hardeband

    kos R350 en die sagteband R250, of sluit aan by

    DESIRE RORKE

    @dezzierorke

    H

    ow many undiscovered Wayde

    van Niekerks are possibly wan-

    dering around?was the rhetor-

    ical question posed by HT Alexander, the

    principal of BernadinoHeights Secondary

    School, on the occasion of the opening of

    a new facility in Scottsdene on Saturday.

    In the wake of the recent Scottsdene

    High School building debacle which left

    the Scottsdene community somewhat dis-

    illusioned after learners were left without

    classrooms for months on end, the provin-

    cial government's timing was spot on.

    The facility, worth over R28 million and

    known as a MOD cluster, was personally

    handed over to the community byWestern

    Cape premier Helen Zille.

    An acronym for Mass participation, op-

    portunity and access, development and

    growth, theMOD facility will provide aft-

    er-school sport and recreational activities

    to learners fromcommunitieswhere these

    opportunities are needed most, Zille said

    at the opening.

    Here learners will have the opportuni-

    ty and support to access tutoring, career

    advice, sports facilities and the arts. Par-

    ents, principals, school governing bodies

    and the school community now have the

    opportunity to do their part by encourag-

    ing learners to participate and excel. Our

    government is working tirelessly to create

    opportunities for learners to be competi-

    tive in the world after school.

    Built on the premises of the Bernadino

    Heights High School andWatsonia Prima-

    ry School, the facility will serve learners

    of Cavalleria, Parkdene and Watsonia pri-

    mary schools, as well as Bernadino

    Heights and Scottsdene high schools.

    Here learners will have the opportunity

    to participate in activities such as athlet-

    ics, cross-country running, cricket, chess,

    football, hockey, tennis, volleyball and a

    debating society.

    The sport infrastructure is comple-

    mented by academic and eLearning sup-

    port. This first-class educational support

    for learners will be provided by our Year

    beyond (Yebo) mentors a group of dedi-

    cated, competent graduates and matricu-

    lants who have dedicated a year of their

    lives to leading other learners in their

    school careers, says Jessica Shelver from

    the department of education. Learners

    will also get the necessary life skills train-

    ing at the clusters. Thiswill includehealth

    and career awareness to help learners se-

    cure jobs once they leave school.

    Facility to help find theWaydes

    Western Cape premier Helen Zille, flanked by ministers of education, Debbie Schfer, and

    cultural affairs, Anroux Marais, sounds off the opening of the facility.

    Anew study by the University of Cape Town

    has found a clear link between exposure to

    trauma and chronic health and mental con-

    ditions among South Africans.

    This study, using data from the South Af-

    ricanStress andHealthStudy (SASH), found

    that exposure to trauma had a direct link to

    arthritis, cardiovascular and respiratory

    disease, chronic pain and mental illness

    such as anxiety.

    Research leader Lukoye Atwoli, associate

    UCT professor and dean of the School of

    Medicine at Moi University in Kenya, said:

    My research found a link between trauma

    exposure and physical health in an African

    context. I hope my findings will be used in

    designing interventions for survivors.

    The research found the most common

    trauma events were related to the unexpect-

    eddeathof a lovedoneandwitnessinga trau-

    matic event involving someone else. Based

    on the study, Atwoli recommended that in-

    terventions for trauma survivors should in-

    clude witnesses of traumatic events.

    Data from the SASH survey, used in the

    UCT study, showed that among South Afri-

    cans one in three havemental disorders last-

    ing between 12 months and a lifetime, the

    most prevalent disorder is anxiety (15,8%),

    then substance abuse (13,3%) and mood dis-

    orders (9,8%), and 11% have two or more

    mental disorders.

    Pharmacist and integrative medicines ex-

    pert Felicia Rubin says SouthAfricans expe-

    rience high rates of trauma and anxiety and

    noted that a 2013 study ranked SA second

    most stressed among 74 countries. Rubin ad-

    vises trauma sufferers or those with anxiety

    should consult a medical professional or

    mental health expert immediately, and fol-

    low a healthy lifestyle.

    oostenbergvlakte Primary School re-

    cently had a much needed facelift,

    thanks to volunteers of Absas corpo-

    rate and investment banking department

    who gave 230 hours of their time in 2015.

    The bankers started working on small

    projects and fund-raising initiatives to im-

    prove the infrastructure of the school, says

    Lindi Hellyer from Absa.

    With this R130 000 was raised to revamp

    the learners toilet facilities and a structure

    was built to cordon off an area for teachers

    and visitors. The Community Chest also

    madea financial contribution to theproject,

    which was completed in 2014.

    In 2015, money was raised to paint three

    classrooms for the 125 Joostenbergvlakte

    learners. The main infrastructure project

    for 2015 was the roofing structure.

    The school doesnothaveanassembly ar-

    ea to congregate to have meetings with

    learners and educators. All they have is an

    open cemented area, exposed to the extreme

    weather conditions.A roofing structure has

    since been erected to cover the open area

    with an additional R240 000 that was raised

    for this particular project, she explains.

    All this would not have been possible

    without the dedication of the volunteers

    and stakeholders who were passionate

    about making a difference at Joosten-

    bergvlakte Primary, a small farm school, in

    Joostenbergvlakte.

    My involvement with Joostenbergvlak-

    te Primary School is because of the passion

    I have for education, and it is my sincere

    belief that theres hidden potential in every-

    one and it is up to us to help someone find

    theirs. And, for society, it means we can

    serve as enablers for greater, inclusive

    prosperity for current and future genera-

    tions, said Stephen vanColler, chief execu-

    tive for corporate and investment banking

    at the Barclays Africa Group.

    T

    he Victim Empowerment Programme

    (VEP) of the Durbanville police is in

    urgent need of more volunteers to re-

    lieve the pressure on the current team.

    This was shared by Genni Engelbrecht,

    coordinator of theVEP, at the annual gener-

    al meeting of the Durbanville Community

    Police Forum (CPF) last Wednesday even-

    ing.

    We have only 15 volunteers on the roster

    in Durbanville, and only two in Fisantek-

    raal. One of the latter, Aunty Betty, works

    daily. She also has a full-time job and some-

    times just goes home in the morning after

    her volunteer work to get ready for work.

    We have tried to recruit more volunteers in

    Fisantekraal, but with no success, Engel-

    brecht said.

    Of the four volunteers recruited in June

    this year, only three went operational, but

    we also had two resignations recently, she

    said. Every volunteer works at least five

    shifts per month and it has taken its toll.

    We have had a hectic year. Our concern

    is that the volunteers are tired. They also

    have families and this time of the year, they

    take a break and go on holiday, she said.

    Since June 2013 until now the volunteers

    of theVEPhave supported 582 victims in 269

    cases, of which 159 victims of residential

    robberies, 88 victims of business robberies,

    29 victims in cases of domestic violence, 17

    victims in cases of neglected andabandoned

    children and 87 cases of suicide and at-

    tempted suicide.

    In November alone they supported 16 vic-

    tims in five cases.

    The total for the year from January toNo-

    vember is 185 victims in 71 cases, of which

    57 victims of residential robberies, 23 vic-

    tims of business robberies, 30 victims of sui-

    cide and attempted suicide, and 36 victims

    of inquest deaths due to drug overdose,

    heart attacks, road accidents, drownings

    and the death of babies.

    Engelbrecht also proposed that the CPF

    make an allowance available to the VEP.

    TheVEP serves the broader community.

    We need to put a process in place for assist-

    ance for the volunteers.They receive no re-

    muneration for what they do, not even for

    their petrol or phone bills. My wish for the

    team is to somehow thank them at the end

    of the year for the hours and resources they

    have put in, she said.

    A functionwill be held tomorrow evening

    (Thursday) at the Bloemendal Restaurant

    for the team, donated by Leon van Wyk of

    Being IT, also a member of the Nerina

    Neighbour Watch, after Engelbrechts plea

    lastWednesday. TheresaUys, councillor for

    ward 21, supported Engelbrechts request

    for an allowance at the meeting and said it

    should be addressed urgently.

    Maritha Roukema, project coordinator of

    the CPF, then said it will be investigated

    and will receive priority. It is a project in

    need; theymust list their needs and ongoing

    expenses and follow the procedures of ap-

    plying for funds, she said.

    Engelbrecht thanked the Durbanville Ro-

    tary Club for their generous donations

    throughout the year. Thanks to them we

    have enough items such as coffee, tea, sugar

    and items for babies suchas diapers and for-

    mula, she said.

    brown

    haze for

    Kfontein

    DESIRE RORKE

    @dezzierorke

    C

    leaner, fresher airwas inhaled by res-

    idents in Kraaifontein and surround-

    ing suburbs during the last year, ac-

    cording to a recent air quality report tabled

    before the city council recently.

    And if these standards are kept up, resi-

    dents in these areas can rest assured that

    they will never be plagued by the so-called

    brown haze that hangs over the Mother

    City each winter. This brown haze is de-

    scribed as a brown smog in the atmosphere

    during the winter months due to the accu-

    mulation of gaseous and particulate pollu-

    tants.

    Not only do recent air pollution levels

    measured at an air quality monitoring lab-

    oratory in Wallacedene indicate a down-

    ward trend over the last few years, but this

    also confirms that the average air quality

    in this region is well below the South Afri-

    can standard. Only once during 2015 was

    the standard measure of PM10 exceeded.

    Special task team

    Particulate Matter (PM) is the term for

    solid or liquid particles found in the air. It

    can be directly emitted or can be formed in

    the atmosphere when gaseous pollutants

    such as SO2 (sulphur dioxide) andNOx (ge-

    neric term for nitric oxideNOandnitrogen

    dioxide NO2) react to form fine particles.

    An air quality standard of PM10 was es-

    tablished to focus on smaller particles that

    are likely responsible for adverse health ef-

    fects because of their ability to reach the

    lower regions of the respiratory tract.

    The PM10 standard includes particles

    with a diameter of 10 micrometers or less

    (0,0004 inches or one-seventh the width of

    a human hair).

    David Oliver from the Citys health de-

    partment said that elevatedPM10 levels are

    caused by several factors such as increased

    traffic, domestic fires and the recirculation

    of windblown dust. Themonitoring labora-

    tory was commissioned by the City and a

    special task team formed in 2012 toward off

    a pending air pollution crisis in the far

    northern regions of the city.

    Proportional representative councillor

    for the DA, Roxanne Hoorn, moved for this

    intervention in September 2012.

    Brown haze endemic

    According to her better service delivery

    to poorer areas such as Wallacedene could

    prevent a crisis. At the time she predicted

    that the provision of greener open areas

    andmore paved roads and sidewalkswould

    alleviate some of the pollutants.

    A report on air quality in Wallacedene

    done in 2011, indicated elevated PM10 lev-

    els similar to that of Khayelitshawhere the

    brown haze is endemic.

    The sources of these high levels in Kraai-

    fontein primarily originated from the ille-

    gal burning of waste materials such as tyr-

    es and copper cables, the burning of wood

    for domestic purposes, vehicle emissions

    and dust from large unpaved areas during

    windy conditions.

    At the most recent meeting Brackenfell

    ward councillor Marian Nieuwoudt was

    elated with the good news and confirmed

    what Hoorn predicted three years earlier.

    The biggest problem being dust was

    eliminated when large open spaces were

    developed for housing and new roads along

    with new sidewalks where dusty roads use

    to be, she said.

    Educational programmes implemented

    by the task team might also be counted in

    as a contributing factor. These pro-

    grammes made communities aware of the

    negative factors of open street fires.

    Oliver promised a fully detailed report in

    January to more precisely explain to resi-

    dents what factors lead to this notable de-

    crease.

    The charity bargain shop driven by the

    health needs of animals in the Little Karoo,

    Kaps, is now celebrating its first birthday

    with many exciting Christmas wares on the

    shelf.

    The Karoo Animal Protection Societys

    DESIRE RORKE

    @dezzierorke

    Illegal scrapyards or so-called bucket

    shops in Kraaifontein should be shut

    down, not merely fined, the ward council-

    lor forWallacedene, SimpiweNonkeyzana,

    said at a recent sitting of the Bergdal sub-

    council.

    Robberies continue to increase as the il-

    legal scrapyard business sector grows, he

    downright stated.

    Nonkeyzana believes the profusion of

    bucket shops holds a direct relation to the

    increase in robberies and burglaries in the

    area.

    This trade needs to be stringently regu-

    lated. These business owners make good

    money and have the means to pay these

    fines and then simply carry on with their

    trade, he said.

    A recent investigation done by the Citys

    metal theft unit revealed four illegal scrap-

    yards that currently operate in Kraaifon-

    tein. This investigation was requested by

    the subcouncil earlier this year.

    The report tabled did not reveal the

    names of the businesses, but only where

    they were situated two in Wallacedene,

    one in Bloekombos and one in Scottsville.

    During the investigation it was found

    that these businesses operated without the

    correct license in terms of the land use act.

    Three of the businesses were fined R1 000

    each. According to the report no stolen

    goods were found at any of the premises.

    It was further indicated that all these

    scrapyards are registered with the South

    African Police Service in terms of the Sec-

    ondhand Goods Act.

    It was also found they continued opera-

    tions in spite of the fines and notices is-

    sued.

    Theunit stated theywould continuewith

    integrated operations with all role players,

    specifically land-use inspectors to address

    land-use issues with the intent of closing

    down illegal scrapyard businesses.

    Regular visible patrols and inspections

    in the vicinity of these scrapyards will be

    conducted.

    Xoliswa Pakela-Mapasa, proportional

    representative for the DA in Kraaifontein,

    enquired whether it would not be more

    prudent to assist such businesses to be-

    come legal, instead of continuously fining

    them.

    They are making money and are there-

    fore not going to stop trading.

    screaming and saw two men running

    away, according to a City statement.

    They gave chase and caught the sus-

    pects. The officers also recovered two fire-

    arms. At the police station they were in-

    ery. The officers were on their way to the

    he Bellville leader of the countrys

    Dagga Party, Jeremy Acton, is calling

    all supporters of the so-called dagga

    culture to a night vigil.

    The partys hearings in the Cape High

    Court, which challenge the

    constitutionality and ques-

    tion the justification of the

    prohibition of dagga, are set

    to continue on Monday 7 De-

    cember.

    As such,Acton whohopes

    to come out smoking that

    Monday hopes to garner as

    much support for the move-

    ment as possible.

    Thousands of supporters

    of the legalisation and regula-

    tion of dagga for the public

    benefit are expected to come

    out smoking in Cape

    Town ... nextweekduring the

    hearings, he said in a state-

    ment.

    The Dagga Party of South Africa has is-

    sued a call to all members of the dagga cul-

    ture in the Western Cape to attend a mass

    gathering in Leeuwen Street, Cape Town,

    outside the Cape Town High Court.

    Acton said the event will start the Mon-

    day at 08:30 and is set to end at 16:00 the

    Tuesday. This includes the planned over-

    night outside the court on Monday night.

    This gathering is required to provide ev-

    idence to the court of the existence and soli-

    darity of the dagga culture, and we call on

    all supporters of legislation

    to bring posters in support of

    legalisation and claimof dag-

    ga rights, Acton said.

    Acton added more than

    4 000 had already signed up

    in support of the case, basing

    his statistics on the Face-

    book page for the event un-

    der the search terms consti-

    tutional dagga hearings.

    He said the MC teamwill

    be the BlazeRyders group

    from Somerset West.

    I hope the people of the

    dagga culture will show the

    country that when we claim

    our rights to cannabis, we

    are a peaceful grouping deserving of our

    rights, and I hope that this gathering by the

    culture around the cannabis plant will be

    a positive historical event for our country.

    air theatre, which is situated in

    such a spectacular setting. The

    seating was great and the sound

    really good as well, and we will

    definitely be attending further

    concerts at this venue.

    We were so lucky that the

    weather was absolutely fantas-

    tic maybe even a little bit on

    the hot side. It is a concert that

    we will not easily forget. It was

    very special, and together with

    the Christmas market which

    was on at the same time, it

    made us feel very much more

    in the festive mood.

    Hiermee wil ek graag vir Deon

    Klein van Parow s dit was

    asof n engel na ons gestuur

    was toe ek en my man, albei

    pensioenarisse, langs die pad

    moeilikheid ondervind het met

    ons motor.

    Hy het sy motor se battery

    uitgehaal en op ons motor kom

    toets. Jy kon sien dit is n man

    wat n motor ken. Hy het na

    alles gekyk en ges ons moet

    stadig huis toe ry; hy sal ons

    volg tot by die huis.

    Hy het gerel dat hulle die

    volgende oggend by ons huis

    sal wees om die fout te herstel

    en ook ges ons moenie bekom-

    merd wees nie, want dit is nie

    so n groot fout nie. Hy sal ons

    help, anders gaan ons baie duur

    betaal vir die herstel daarvan.

    Hy het presies geweet wat om

    te doen. Ek sal hom aanbeveel

    by enige persoon, want hy het

    nie net my motor herstel nie,

    maar ook nie n plaas se prys

    gevra nie. Baie dankie, Deon!

    LEWENSKIEKIE

    Is daar iewers

    n sege op die

    SA horison?

    Kyk n mens as Suid-Afrikaner terug op

    die jaar 2015, word jy nie noodwendig

    oorweldig met positiewe gedagtes nie.

    Trouens, die woord verloor het net

    hopeloos te veel opgeduik.

    Op die ekonomiese front was Eskom

    die groot rede vir die groeikoers om

    stoom te verloor, die rand het sy waarde

    verloor en die SAL verloor hope belas-

    tingsbetalersgeld.

    Wat die omgewing betref, verloor ons

    land water met beurtwater ons voor-

    land en verloor renosters steeds hul

    horings en lewens teen n ongekende

    tempo. Boonop verloor boere in droogte-

    geteisterde gebiede hul oeste.

    In die kommunikasie-omgewing verloor

    dag- en Sondagkoerante hul lesers en

    Afrikaans moet hard baklei om nie sy

    status as hor onderrigtaal te verloor nie.

    Met gemiddeld 49 mense wat per dag

    in SA vermoor word, het die polisie

    lankal sy greep op misdaad verloor.

    Op sportterrein gaan dit nie veel beter

    nie. Die Proteas verloor in Indi, die

    Bokke teen Japan en nou ook hul borge

    en die Stormers verloor Eddie Jones

    nog voor hy as afrigter begin het.

    Selfs op die vermaaklikheidsgebied

    verloor een van ons uitvoerprodukte,

    Trevor Noah, kykers op sy Daily Show in

    die VSA.

    En om alles te kroon het ons immerlag-

    gende president lankal sy geloofwaardig-

    heid verloor.

    Gaan ons in die nuwe jaar aanhou

    verloor, of is daar iewers n sege op die

    horison?

    W

    hen a young quadriplegic from

    Durbanville left the rehabilita-

    tion centre after months, he im-

    mediately took up wheelchair rugby as a

    sport a decision that made the world of

    difference to his recovery.

    Eudricht Kotze (23), who lives with his

    parents in Uitzicht, has not only been

    playing professional wheelchair rugby

    for Maties since, but is also deeply in-

    volvedwith helping other new quadriple-

    gics with recovery and acceptance.

    However, he is now in desperate need

    of a new sports wheelchair as his current

    one is falling apart.

    Eudricht became a quadriplegic after a

    car accident in Clanwilliamwhen he was

    20 years old.

    Depressed until rugby

    I was very depressed when I was in re-

    habilitation, he says.

    His inspiration came when he met

    Mark Swartz of Chairman Industries, a

    paraplegic who came to introduce him to

    wheelchairs.

    He told me about wheelchair rugby

    and even tookme to a match. I fell in love

    with the sport immediately.

    Since I took up this sport, I have not

    only become more independent, but it

    helped me to become stronger, to do

    things formyself, to drive a car again and

    to gain more movement, especially in my

    arms, he says.

    This year Iwas chosenas convenor for

    the Maties Wheelchair Rugby Club and

    couldnt be happier and more proud.

    Eudricht works as internal accounts

    manager for a security distribution com-

    pany, Pinnsec, in Montague Gardens.

    In his free time heworks as a volunteer

    at the Life Rehabilitation Centre at the

    Vincent Pallotti Hospital to help patients

    adapt to their new circumstances.

    My sports wheelchair will not last

    another year, and I am looking for any as-

    sistance to buy a new one, he says.

    Wheelchair old, too small

    The wheelchair, which he borrows

    from the Maties Club, is already 12 years

    old and actually too small for him.

    With our last league game, I was

    forced off the field as the chair kept on

    breaking to the point of no repair. I can-

    not perform to my fullest to be chosen for

    the SA training camp, he says.

    He needs about R90 000 to buy a new

    sports wheelchair.

    Wentzel Barnard, sports manager for

    the Maties ParaSport Club for people

    with disabilities, said sports contributes

    towards the actualisation of the potential

    of individuals with physical disabilities.

    Over the past 20 years of my involve-

    ment with people with physical disabili-

    ties, I have observedwith absolute clarity

    the impact that sports has on the physical

    health of members, he says. Eudricht

    ishighlymotivated to excel inwheelchair

    rugby, but his biggest obstacle to reach

    his full potential in the sport is the ex-

    pense of purchasing a custom rugby

    wheelchair that will be suitable for him.

    V Anyone who would like to contribute, can con

    tact Eudricht Kotze on 071 182 8415 or by email

    to agent.kotze@gmail,com.

    Die rieldanskompetisie vier vanjaar sy tien-

    de bestaansjaar.

    Toe die eerste stofwolke op Saterdag 9De-

    sember 2006 in die amfiteater op Paarlberg

    opgeskop word, het baie min mense van di

    unieke dansvorm geweet. Die geleentheid

    om n half vergete en grootliks miskende

    kultuuruiting aan die kultuurhonger-ge-

    meenskap bekend te stel, is met albei hande

    aangegryp deur die sewe deelnemende groe-

    pe. Vir baie was dit die kans op die terugwin

    van identiteit,n gevoel van eiewaarde endie

    hervestigingvan n selftrots, sEliasP.Nel,

    projekleier by die ATKV en die man wat die

    riel laat herleef het.

    Volgens homworddie gevoel van om te be-

    hoort en die trots om jou miskende kultuur-

    aktiwiteit vir mense te kan aanbied, die bes-

    te verwoord deur die 59-jarige Liza Adams

    vanBrandvlei.Nafloopvandie eerste kom-

    petisie het sy die projekorganiseerder om-

    hels en in haar unieke Oranjerivier-afri-

    kaans vreugdevol uitgeroep: My tjeent, vi-

    naand het jy vir my virrie eerste tjeer soos

    n mens gelat voel!

    Die ATKV-Rieldanskompetisie was veral

    vir verafgele plattelandse gemeenskappe n

    reddingsboei iets om die ledigheid onder

    jongmensewat dikwels tot kriminele aktiwi-

    teite gelei het, teen te werk.

    Daar is getuienisse van jong kinders wat

    voorheen skuldig was aan huisbraak wat n

    hul betrokkenheid by die riel daarvan ge-

    nees was. Van onderwysers hoor ons dik-

    wels dat die skugter en teruggetrokke leer-

    ders n gedaanteverwisseling ondergaan het

    en met groot selfvertroue aan gesprekke in

    die klas deelneem. Daar is ook diegene wie

    se akademiese vordering merkbaar veran-

    der het. En die wat nie akademies goed pres-

    teer nie, het n nuwe doel gekry: om die riel

    na die beste van hul vermo te dans, s Nel.

    Die prysgeld wat aan die wenners betaal

    word,worddeurdiemeeste groepe tot verde-

    re uitbreiding van die riel aangewend.

    Die meeste geld word spandeer op die

    aankoop van skoeisel en die maak en aan-

    koop van klere vir optredes. Die gevoel van

    eiewaarde en identiteit word hierdeur ook

    n verdere hupstoot gegee. Sedert 2008 was

    die riel skielik in aanvraag by feeste soos die

    KKNK op Oudtshoorn, die Cederbergfees

    (Clanwilliam), die Snoek enPatatfees (Goed-

    verwacht), Hantam-Vleisfees (Calvinia),

    Vryfees (Bloemfontein), Huisgenoot-Skou-

    spel, Diazfees (Mosselbaai), Kirkwood-

    Wildsfees asook talle landbouskoue en ge-

    meenskapsfunksies. So word hul erva-

    ringswreld verbreed en hul lewensuitkyk

    word positief benvloed. Die voorheen skug-

    ter, soms identiteitloses en miskende dan-

    sers, was ewe skielik gesogte kunstenaars.

    Dit op sigself het n enorme bydrae gele-

    wer tot die selfwaarde en -trots van die riel-

    dansers.

    Ten spyte van die vele uitdagings en te-

    kortkominge is die suksesse groot veral

    waar dit gaan om die kapasiteitsbou van die

    deelnemers, volgens Nel.

    Die tiende ATKV-Rieldans-eindstryd vind

    op Saterdag 5 Desember in die Liqui-Fruit-

    amfiteater in die Paarl plaas.

    ie immergewilde Andr Schwartz is een

    vandie vier sangerswat vanjaar saammet

    n simfonie-orkes enmassakoor inKlassie-

    ke Kersfees gaan optree.

    Andr, wat in Johannesburg bly, het die afge-

    lope paar jaar min opgetree, dus is Sondag 13

    Desember n baie spesiale gebeurtenis. Hy deel

    die aand die verhoog met Kevin Leo, Jannie

    Moolman en Corlea Botha.

    TygerBurger, een van die borge van die kon-

    sert, het vir Andr n paar vrae gevra:

    1. Waarmee is jy deesdae besig?

    Behalwevirmyvoltydsewerkas eienaarvan

    n suksesvolle bemarkingsmaatskappy, Andr

    SchwartzMarketing (watniemusiekbemarking

    is nie), en my besige konserttoerprogram, is ek

    baie opgewonde oor my eie platemaatskappy,

    Gmmmf, wat pas gestig is en die nuwe CDwaar-

    mee ek besig is. Ek is ook hart en siel betrokke

    by die werk van twee NPOs.

    2. Dis jou eerste keer by Klassieke Kersfees.

    Sien jy uit daarna om saam met Jannie, Ke-

    vin en Corlea te sing?

    Ek sien ongelooflik uit en voel gevlei oor die

    voorreg wat my te beurt val.

    3. Wat is jou mooiste kinderherinnering

    van Kersfees?

    My pa is oorlede toe ek 13 jaar oud was. My

    herinneringe aan Kersfees saam met Pa en Ma

    bly die beste en mooiste nog!

    4. Waar gaan jy di Kersfees wees?

    Ek het n baie bedrywige Desember, met my

    laaste vertoning vanjaar op 20 Desember. Daar-

    na wil ek terug huis toe om Kersfees by familie

    deur te bring, waarna ekmyself gaan bederfmet

    n lekker vakansie in die Kaap saam met harts-

    vriende.

    fers en n paar liedjies van Jannie en Corlea se

    nuwe album,Alle paaie lei na Rome. Die opelug-
