A

proposal for the temporary storage of

dry casks at the Koeberg nuclear power

station was a hot topic at a meeting last

week.

The proposal, which is currently undergo-

ing an environmental impact assessment

(EIA) process, was discussed at the Koeberg

public safety information forum.

According to the background document, Es-

kom has proposed the construction of a Tran-

sient interim storage facility (TISF) for the

temporary storage of dry casks at theKoeberg

nuclear power station (KNPS) to accommo-

date used nuclear fuel from the reactors for

the operational life of the power station.

The document explains that used fuel as-

semblies from the nuclear reactors are stored

in spent fuel pools (SFPs) within KNPS. But

as these pools near capacity, additional stor-

age is required.

The document states that Unit 1 will have

filled its pool byMarch 2018 andUnit 2 by Sep-

tember 2018.

As the SFPs reaching their capacity, addi-

tional space is created bymoving the pools in-

to dry storage casks.

In his presentation, power station manager

Riedewaan Bakardien explained Eskom had

been working on the project for three years

and a contract was placed for themanufactur-

ing of the casks. Several questionswere posed

about what the temporary storage entailed.

Im worried about the temporary storage.

Is it temporary for six months or 40 years? At

a nuclear power station I dont think we want

to do anything temporary. I want to under-

stand why nuclear power stations are storing

spent fuel on site, one person asked.

In response Bakardien explained it was a

well established practice in the industry.

Maybe this is something we want to come

back to and engage a little bit more, he said

before proposing a presentation be done at the

next forum meeting.

A Parklands woman was robbed in her

home last week and the perpetrators alleg-

edly used a duvet to prevent her fromseeing

them.

Table View police said the incident oc-

curred just after 11:00 on Tuesday 24 No-

vember. According to police spokesperson

Lieutenant Adriana Chandler the woman

was inside herCoventClose homewhen she

was surprised by two men who entered the

property after scaling a perimeter wall and

gained access through an unlocked door.

She says the men covered the woman

with a duvet and demanded to know where

the safe was and asked for the combination.

The complainant showed them the safe,

but did not know the combination to the

safe and the suspects used a hammer they

found in the garage to open the safe. The

contents of the safe were removed and the

suspects fled the scene. They were not

armed and were not disguised.

At this stage it is unknown if a vehicle

wasused or inwhich direction themen fled.

The Parklands resident was not injured

during the incident.

Robbers play peek a boowith victim

Milnerton police are on the

According to a report the

man entered a house in Er-

ica Road onTuesday 25Au-

gust at 13:00 and threaten-

ed a female resident with a

knife.

Police spokesperson

Warrant Officer Daphne

OReilly says the suspect

demanded the woman

hand over her cellphone

before fleeing the scene.

The woman was not in-

jured.

The suspect is de-

scribed as a black male be-

tween the age of 20 and 30.

He is average in height and

build.

M

ilnerton police have issued a stern

warning for residents to hand over

unlicensed firearms.

This follows the arrest of a 34-year-old

man from Sunset Beach last weekend.

According to a report, Milnerton police

along with the Western Cape Flying Squad

swooped in on the mans home at about

14:00 onFriday 27November following a tip-

off about unlicensed firearms stored at the

house.

During a searchpolice discovered four as-

sault rifles, one .38 special revolver and am-

munition. The occupant of the house had no

licences for these firearms and ammuni-

tion.

Cluster commander Brigadier Aneeqah

Jordaan says residents in possession of un-

licensed firearms should rather hand in the

firearms than keep them unlawfully.

If a family member passes away and he

or she owned a firearm, these firearms

should be handed in at the nearest police

station until the completion of the estate,

he says.

This is once again an example of good co-

operation between the community and po-

lice.

After months of investigation, the man who

is infamously known as Tandjies has been

arrested in Atlantis.

According to a report by Melkbosstrand

police, theAtlantismanhasbeenarrested for

three house break-ins and one case of theft

in Melkbosstrand.

Police spokesperson Constable Debbie Al-

lard says detectives have been hard at work

to arrest the man who has evaded arrest for

several months. Detectives visited several

homes in Atlantis where he was believed to

be as he had no fixed address, and left their

contact details requesting residents to con-

tact them if the man was spotted.

Allard says for months officers grinded

their teeth as the man sent taunting SMSes

claiming the police would never catch him.

What made this case interesting is that

Tandjies would then SMS the detectives and

send cheeky messages. He also got others to

call the police claiming to be his lawyers.

His photograph has been circulated in re-

cent weeks and officers of the Atlantis crime

prevention unit managed to track him down.

He appeared in the Atlantis Magistrates

Court last week.

According to the background document, the

project will include three phases and the

TISF will be constructed on vacant land

within KNPS. It proposes that construction

of this facility will consist of a concrete pad

onto which up to 160 dry storage casks can

be placed.

It further states that construction will

commence in 2018 and is set to be complete

in 12 months.

Used fuel assemblies will be loaded into

casks at the reactor unit fuel buildings and

transferred to the TISF in batches. The se-

quence of loading and transferring one dry

storage cask to the TISF will take approxi-

mately 10 working days.

Eskomhas identified six potential sites for

the TISFwhich have been evaluated and the

document lists two sites as viable options.

The first site is located north of KNPS

while the second site is located along the

southern boundary of KNPS.

VA publicmeeting on the proposal was held in Octo

ber and the document outlines the next steps in the

EIA process. To view the document visit

Newplan to talk about violence

MONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

A

newplan to raise awareness about the

abuse ofwomenand children is on the

cards following a low turnout at an

event in Table View last week.

The launch of the 16 Days of activism for

no violence against women and children

held at the Kingsgate Church last week saw

less than 15 residents attend. The event was

aimed at raising awareness about various

types of abuse, the effects and the possible

legal implications.

In his address Table View station com-

mander Colonel Dirk Vosloo said the turn-

out was disappointing and questioned

whether Table View residents had their

head in the sand.

Following a presentation by Vilikazi

Khatshwa of the Womens Legal Centre, a

60-year-old Table View woman made a des-

perate plea for help. She gave a spine chill-

ing account of abuse at the hands of her hus-

band and said while she had followed the

legal processes to obtain a protection order

it was revoked when she went to court.

Protection order thrown out

Iwasmarriedandhadaprotectionorder

which went to the Table View police in De-

cember 2013. I have been through themagis-

trates and courts and he comes in and fights

with the attorney. Hewalks out of court and

they threw outmy protection order.My son

and Iwere thrownon the streets. I have pho-

tographs of my beaten body. I have been

raped five times as a child. Im standing

here today a broken woman.

Khatshwa thanked the woman for her

braveryandopted to speak toher inprivate.

In her key note address, Milnerton police

cluster commanderBrigadierAneeqah Jor-

daan expressed her disappointment at the

turnout and explained Table View was cho-

sen due to the number of assault cases.

During an interviewwithTygerBurger in

August, Vosloo explained police were going

back to the drawing board to develop strate-

gies to address assault cases.

Following a steady increase sinceMay he

explained while property related crime has

shown a decrease, the increase of contact

crimes, mostly common assault, has police

worried. The cases were widespread across

the precinct making it difficult for police to

host interventions in a specific area.

If the assaultswere occurring in one spe-

cific area or sector, it would be easy for us

to host a workshop in that area explaining

the dangers of assaulting someone. With

this trend, however, it is across all sectors

and not confined to a specific area. The cas-

es vary so much from a domestic violence

incident to a fight between tenants of a com-

plex over parking, he said at the time.

Police found out when called to murder

In her address, Jordaan explained the na-

tional campaign was aimed at highlighting

the effects of abuse and domestic violence

while providing women and children with

the help they need.

Community Police Forum chairperson David Harris, Colonel Dirk Vosloo, Vilikazi Khatshwa of the

Womens Legal Centre and Brigadier Aneeqah Jordaan light candles for those affected by abuse.

PHOTO: MONIQUE DUVAL

It is sad to see the few people who are

here. We chose this area because our statis-

tics show we have a problem here.

Jordaan encouraged the few who did re-

spond to start talking and reporting cases

of domestic violence and explained police

often only find out about the problem when

they are called to a murder scene.

The cluster has also embarked on a whis-

tle campaign to assist women who are vul-

nerable when going to work. The whistles

have been handed out in various communi-

ties where women walk to bus stops and

they are encouraged to blow the whistle

when they are in danger.

Jordaan explained police will now visit

various religious institutions and speak di-

rectly to residents to spread theword on the

campaign.


Milnerton police have re-

leased an identikit of the man

they believe impersonated a

police officer andkidnapped a

motorist.

According to a report the in-

cident took place on Sunday 3

May when a motorist was

travelling along Bosmans-

damRoad and was stopped by

twomenwhoclaimed tobepo-

lice officers.

Police spokesperson War-

rant Officer Daphne OReilly

says the motorist was hand-

cuffed and taken to Langawhere

he was forced to draw money

and robbed of his firearm.

The victimwas then dropped

at the Elsies River Police Sta-

tion. A case of kidnapping was

opened and is still under investi-

gation by the Serious and Vio-

lent Crimes Unit.

Community to tackle drugs

MONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

S

he was a beautiful, helpful girl who

made some bad choices. But just a few

days before her death she made a plea

for help.

This is the story relayed by Summer

Greens residents last week during a vigil

held for resident Nicola de Goede in Emer-

ald Way Park. They explain that De Goede,

a known drug user, died recently shortly

after she was found between two houses

during a community march.

Thought she was dead

Initially they thought she was dead, but

when they realised she was still alive she

was rushed to hospital where she passed

away.

As the sun set over Summer Greens on

Tuesday 24 November, tears fell as resi-

dents made heartfelt pleas for the drug

problem to be tackled. Residents lit candles

and stood with photographs of De Goede,

more fondly known as Nicky. They reflect-

ed on her life and shared stories in a park

which has become synonymous with drug

use.

The vigil was organised by resident

Bridgette Lloyd who explained Nicky went

to school with her daughter and was well

known in the community. During her ad-

dress, she explained many Summer Greens

families were facing adversity as children

got hooked on drugs.

Nicky came to me before she died and

told me she had a stroke. She wanted help;

she wanted to go to rehab. We were getting

ready to get her into a place when I heard

she had died. She was everyones child and

this could have happened to anyone. We

must come together and find a way to ad-

dress the issues that are plaguing our com-

munity.

Hope in her eyes

Two women shared their stories of chil-

dren who are addicted to drugs and Gary

Jacobs, chairperson of the Summer Greens

Neighbourhood Watch (SGNHW), made a

plea for residents to assist the watch.

I knew Nicky from the streets and when

I spoke to her I could see there was hope in

her eyes. This is very sad but we need to

unite and start lookingat thedrugproblems

in this community. My request is that you

standupandkeepyour community safe and

help us put a stop to all the drugs.

When you see people by the train line,

report it. We know what they do there and

we must start reporting the crime and the

drugs if we want to keep our children safe.

Twomen and awoman, who residents ex-

plain are Nickys friends, were spotted

among the crowd. Thewomanwalked to the

front crowd and said she was saddened by

Nickys passing.

Shewas a very good friend; very helpful.

You know we are all on drugs, but its hard

to stop because we dont have family sup-

port, she said as tears ran down her face.

A former gangster also came up to ad-

dress the crowd and said Nickys death

should be a catalyst for change in Summer

Greens.

MONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

A

new proposal for a community skate

park in Melkbosstrand has been ta-

bled. The project was first started by

resident Jaci Butler who wanted to create

a safe place for children to skate.

Speaking to TygerBurger in May, Butler

explained after her daughters friend was

involved in an accident during 2014, she re-

alised the lack of a safe facility puts chil-

dren and teenagers in danger.

In June she got the ball rolling and con-

sulted with the Melkbosstrand Ratepayers

Association (MRA) about having the skate

parkat theCountryClub.Butler alsohosted

the first fundraiser for the project in June.

However, in September residents were

informed Butler had passed away and her

daughters would be continuing the project.

During the establishment of Minitown,

owner Luke Shadrach explained they iden-

tified a skate park as a possible activity.

We did some research and were told a pro-

posal had already been tabled. Wemet with

theMRA and explained we had land availa-

ble. They were enthusiastic about the skate

park being erected at Minitown as it is an

established play park, he says.

Shadrach says available land is only one

component as there aremany things to con-

sider for the new park. Keeping in line with

whatButler set out to achieve, Shadrach ex-

plains the park will be managed as a com-

munity centre where a small tariff will be

charged for the upkeep of the park.

We decided on utilising the area close to

the tennis courts as it is visible from the

street. We envisaged an area where teens

can come and enjoy skating in a safe envi-

ronmentwhile the rest of the family partici-

pates in various other activities.

During her interview, Butler explained

the estimated cost of the skate park was

R3m and she was working on registering

the park as a non-profit organisation.

Shadrach explains as the location had

changed, estimatesmayvary. At this point

we are still in the early changes and need

thosewith expertise to assist uswith the de-

sign and estimates of what the project will

cost. In my meeting with the MRA we were

informed that the association was still in

possession of funds raised earlier which

will go towards the new skate park.

Located along a MyCiTi bus route, Sha-

drach believed a skate park could help

bring children from surrounding commu-

nities to enjoy Melkbosstrand.

NewMyCiTi busesmalfuntioning

MONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

T

he malfunctioning of a new fleet of My-

CiTi buses is in the spotlight after a

Parklands man got injured when a

ramp failed to deploy.

Earlier this month commuters raised

their concerns about the new 18m Scania

buses claiming they were problematic since

first instituted in July.

Ross Halstead said on Tuesday 17 Novem-

ber hewas about to board a bus from theCiv-

ic Centre to Table View. While standing in

line he noticed one of the doors was not

working and walked to the next one.

The platform failed to come out and I

missed the step and fell through. I had a big

cut on my leg and was in pain and shock.

Halstead says other commuters helped

him and he got onto the bus. He found the

nearest seat and tried to recover when he

was approached by a security guard.

She wanted to inform the driver of what

happened and I said I would just need a mo-

ment to recover. I was shakenup. The driver

started driving and everyone shouted for

him to stop because there was an injured

commuter on the bus.

Halstead explains he was not happy for

what happened next. He says the driver

stepped up to him and appeared hung over.

He was poorly and messily dressed. His

shirt was hanging out and his eyes were red.

Whenwe told him the platform did not come

out he started to scream and told us it wasnt

his fault that the buses werent working.

Halstead says the conduct of the driver

added to this traumatic experience and he

opted to report the matter to the City.

City of Cape Town Mayco member for

transport Brett Herron confirms the case

was reported to the Transport information

centre (TIC) and the matter had been re-

ferred toKidrogen, thevehicle operat-

ing company, for further investiga-

tion.

Responding to questions posed by

TygerBurger about remedial action to

fix the bus involved in the incident,

Herron says the vehicle operating

companies are obliged to test the fleet

of MyCiTi buses eachmorning before

the buses start operating to ensure

that the doors and ramps function as

they should.

Malfunctions may and will some-

times happen during the course of op-

erations. The Scania buses are brand

new and whenever a fault relates to

amanufacturing default, the supplier

is obliged to fix it.

He says during a trip along the T01

trunk route, City officials established

that at certain times the ramps on the

18-metre high-floor buses hesitate

because of the angle of deployment

when it catches on the mat.

It is during this delay that the pas-

sengers become frustrated and press

the emergency buttons, causing the

doors to open. When something like

this happens, the passengers forcing

themselves out might not be aware

that the ramp has not deployed yet

andmay step into the gap between the

bus and the station/stop. There were

some instances when the ramp tried to de-

ploy and then retracted, he said. When this

happens, the bus doors will not open.

We have subsequently proposed some in-

terventions and actions and we are working

with the bus suppliers in rectifying these.

Another test run will be conducted once

these actions have been completed to see the

effect of the adjustments.

Asked why this fleet was operational

when the City was aware of malfunctions,

Herron says: Each day there are over 20 000

door openings and ramp deployments on the

MyCiTi trunk routes alone and the limited

number of failures must be seen in this con-

text. We do all we can to limit the door and

ramp failures to theminimumand have tak-

enaction. However, due to thehighnumber

of door openings and ramp deployments it

is impossible to guarantee that there will

never be any failure in future, saysHerron.

Consequently, we request passengers to

be cautious when boarding and alight-

ing the buses station staff will be re-

laying this to passengers in future.

In an earlier article, Herron referred

to concerns about malfunctions as

teething problems, but commuters say

until these issues are resolved the bus-

es shouldnotbeoperatingas their safe-

ty is being compromised.

Herron says the MyCiTi service is

safe and affordable.

The number of incidents relating to

the bus doors and ramps are minus-

cule if one bears inmind that there are

over 20 000 door openings and ramp de-

ployments on theMyCiTi trunk routes

alone each day.

For Halstead, the issue is not min-

uscule, and he says after incurring

medical costs he will be seeking com-

pensation from the City.

A friend took me to the hospital

where I received stitches on my leg. I

also hurt my tibia and coccyx in the

fall, he says.

Responding to questions about the

bus drivers alleged conduct, Herron

explains MyCiTi bus drivers are com-

pelled to report all incidents to the ve-

hicle operating company.

He also says Halstead did not report

the alleged abusive conduct.

MyCiTi personnel should be polite

and helpful to all commuters at all times and

Iwant to request commuters to please report

any abusive or untoward behaviour to the

Transport information centre on 0800 65 64

53. This will enable the vehicle operating

company or stationmanagement contractor

to take action, if needed, against any staff

member who is in breach of the code of con-

duct for MyCiTi personnel.

opinion to [email protected].

Coffee lovers will have the opportunity to

help change theworld on Change Coffee Day

(Friday 4 December) at The FUE coffee shop

in Table View.

On the day customers can buy two coffees

and get one, while the cost of the second cup

funds programmes for underprivileged and

vulnerable children in South Africa.

While this initiative is predominantly run

in Australia this year, South Africa is sure

to follow full steam ahead next year. Early

on the band wagon and part of three cafs

in South Africa to get on board is boutique-

style The FUE coffee shop in Table View, Sa-

cred Ground in Franschhoek and Starlings

Cafe in Claremont.

Change Coffee is a fundraising initiative

for the non-profit organisation Eniwe Chil-

drens Fund, which aims to improve the

lives of abandonedandunderprivileged chil-

dren through housing, feeding and skills de-

velopment initiatives in South Africa.

Born and raised in South Africa, Robyn

Borruso founded Eniwe Childrens Fund in

Sydney, Australia after first-hand witness-

ing the struggles endured by children or-

phaned or made vulnerable in South Africa.

Alleviating poverty is not a task of chari-

ty, but an act of justice, said Robyn.

Food, water, shelter, good health and an

education are the birth right of all children.

I was humbled and inspired by the chil-

drens warmth and affection and decided I

had to do something to help improve their

lives.

A

37-year-old Parklands man appeared

in court this week after being caught

with gold pellets of R50 000.

According to a report fromMilnerton po-

lice, the man was driving a Peugeot and,

acting on information, undercover officers

approached the man at a shopping centre

in Milnerton on Thursday 26 November.

Police spokesperson Warrant Officer

Daphne OReilly says the officer identified

himself using his appointment certificate,

but the suspect did not believe him and

agreed to follow the officers to the police

station. While driving behind the suspect,

he threw something out of the vehicle and

officers found a box of gold pellets to the

value of around R55 420.

The suspect fromParklandswas arrest-

ed and charged with unlawful possession

of gold.Heappeared in theCapeTownMag-

istrates Court this week.

In a report for the Milnerton cluster

which consists of various police stations

including Milnerton, Table View and

Melkbosstrand, 78 houses were searched

for drugs and 84 drug-related arrests exe-

cuted. During these operations just over

130 grams of tik, 4 218 grams of dagga and

116 mandrax tablets were confiscated.

There were 15 arrests for crimes com-

mitted against women and children. One

roadblock was held where 29 fines to the

value of R20 800 were issued. Management

applauded all officers who contributed to

the successes of the cluster.

Verwag langer toue in voertuiglisensi-

ringskantore in Desember as gewoonlik.

Een van die redes hiervoor, s Ian Neil-

son, uitvoerende onderburgemeester van

Kaapstad, is dat motoriste sedert 1 Novem-

ber ook n bewys van hul adres moet saam-

neem om hul lisensies te kan hernu.

Verder is geen voertuiglisensie-aanslae

virDesemberuitgereiknie.Die feit datmo-

toriste al vir maande lank nie hierdie ken-

nisgewings ontvang nie, is n nasionale

probleem, s Neilson. Hy s die rede is dat

die oordrag van die elektroniese admini-

strasie-verkeersinligtingstelsel (eNaTIS)

van die nasionale verkeersdepartement na

die padverkeersbestuursentrum (RTMC)

nog nie vaartbelyn is nie. Neilson s die

Stad doen alles in sy vermo om dit virmo-

toriste maklik te maak om hul lisensies te

hernu. Motoriste wie se lisensies op 30 No-

vember verval het, kan dit nog tot 22 De-

sember hernu sonder ombeboet teword en

di wie sn op 31 Desember verval, kan dit

nog tot 22 Januarie boetevry hernu. Ons

vra motoriste om pro-aktief op te tree en

hulself te vergewis van die vervaldatums

op hul lisensieskyfies en om, waar moont-

lik, hernuwings aanlyn te doen, s hy.

Neilson s dit is op die oomblik die besig-

ste tyd van die jaar in munisipale kantore.

Libertas Amphitheatre on

Sunday 29 November.

I wanted to say a big thank

you to TygerBurger and Oude

Libertas for sponsoring this

wonderful concert.

It was the first time that my

husband and I had visited this

stunning open 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 fantastic

maybe even a little bit on the

hot side, and poor Kurt was

really sweating.

We thoroughly enjoyed

listening to Kurt singing all his

various hits, together with some

new numbers, and also getting

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?

ie immergewilde Andr Schwartz is

een van die vier sangers wat vanjaar

saam met n simfonie-orkes en mas-

sakoor in Klassieke Kersfees gaan optree.

Andr, wat in Johannesburg bly, het die

afgelopepaar jaarmin opgetree, dus isSon-

dag 13 Desember n baie spesiale gebeurte-

nis.Hydeel die aanddieverhoogmetKevin

Leo, Jannie Moolman en Corlea Botha.

Hy het aan die begin van die jaar saam

met n skoolkoor opgetree en by die tweede

liedjie die mense op hul voete gehad. Dit is

toe dat ons besluit het hy moet weer begin

optree, vertel June du Toit, wat Andr se

bemarking hanteer.

TygerBurger, een van die borge van die

konsert, het vir Andr n paar vrae gevra:

1. Waarmee is jy deesdae besig?

Behalwe vir my voltydse werk as eie-

naar van n suksesvolle bemarkingsmaat-

skappy, Andr Schwartz Marketing (wat

nie musiekbemarking is nie), enmy besige

konserttoerprogram, is ek baie opgewonde

oor my eie platemaatskappy, Gmmmf, wat

pas gestig is en die nuwe CD waarmee ek

besig is. Ek is ook hart en siel betrokke by

die werk van twee NPOs.

2. Dis jou eerste keer byKlassieke Kers-

fees. Sien jyuitdaarnaomsaammetJan-

nie, Kevin en Corlea te sing?

Ek sien ongelooflik uit en voel gevlei

oor die voorreg wat my te beurt val.

3. Wat is jou mooiste kinderherinne-

ring 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 De-

sember. Daarna wil ek terug huis toe om

Kersfees by familie deur te bring, waarna

ekmyself gaan bederf met n lekker vakan-

sie in die Kaap saam met hartsvriende.

. Klassieke Kersfees vind op Sondag 13

Desember in die Liqui-Fruit-amfiteater in

die Paarl plaas.

Die gehoor kan n samestelling van ge-

wilde Kersliedere en populre klassieke

nommers soos All I Ask of You, O Holy

Night, Pie Jesu, AveMaria enMarys

Boy Child verwag, asook n paar Andrew

Lloyd Webber-treffers en n paar liedjies

van Jannie en Corlea se nuwe album, Alle

paaie lei na Rome. Hulle word begelei deur

n simfonie-orkes en n massakoor.

Die opelug-venue, een van die mooistes

in die land, is die ideale plek om Kersfees

te vier, so kom sommer vroeg en koop iets

te ete en te drinke by die wye verskeiden-

heid kos- en wynstalletjies.

V Kaartjies is beskikbaar by Computicket.

The Western Province Blood Transfusion

Service (WPBTS) is looking for 2 750 heroes

who are willing to register as blood donors

as the December holiday rapidly approach-

es.

And theWPBTS ismaking it easy and fun

for those heroes to come forwardwith an in-

teractive #KeepTheBeatGoing campaign

across Facebook and Twitter.

This campaign invites South Africans to

participate by enrolling as blooddonors and

then submitting short, creative videos on

Twitter and challenging friends to do the

same.

Potential donors are invited to Sing it,

strum it, bang it, hit it, hum it or clap it,

the campaign says, encouraging people to

submit selfie video clips, stating that they

are keeping the beat going by registering as

donors.

Use the hashtags #KeepTheBeatGoing

and #WPBlood and be sure to tag a friend

who youd like to challenge next, says

WPBTS spokespersonMarlize van derMer-

we.

Less than 1,5% ofWestern Cape residents

are registered blood donors and according

to the WPBTS, this number has to rise to

3,5% just to meet the December demand.

Were inviting everyone to join in. You

dont need to be musical to submit a clip,

and if youre already registered as a donor,

thats great too, as you can still help to raise

awareness and challenge those around you

to enrol as donors in a fun and light-hearted

way, says Van der Merwe.

She says this campaign reflects the real-

time donor enrolment progress and poten-

tial lives saved in a central dashboard.

The beat videos will be showcased on

the campaign website, where those in the

Western Cape can also enrol as donors.

WPBTS needs a minimum of 2 750 donors

by January 2016 to meet the donor base

goals.

ESM ERASMUS

@erasmusesme

n

Ma van Durbanville en haar twee

jong kinders het ter nouer dood ont-

kom toe n dwaalkoel van n .375-jag-

geweer deur die dak van hul huis in Uitzicht

in Durbanville gedring en n muur in die

kombuis getref het.

Deliz Donaldson (29) het haar kinders uit

die oopplankombuis en leefkamer, waar sy

staan en kos maak het, na die badkamer ge-

neem om daar in die koue badwater te speel

omdat dit so warm was.

Enkele oomblikke later het sy die geweldi-

ge slag gehoor.

Donaldson was op 24 Oktober tussen 13:00

en 14:00 tuis by hul huis in Valenciastraat

met haar kinders, onderskeidelik 2 en 4 jaar

oud, toe die koel die muur bokant die eet-

toonbank getref het presies daar waar sy

enkeleminute tevore staan en kosmaak het.

Dit was net Godsgeluk dat ons nie meer

daar in die kombuis was nie, vertel sy.

Ek het dadelik gaan kyk wat in die kom-

buis gebeur het. Ek het gedink iets het in die

oond ontplof of in een van die ruite vasge-

vlieg.

Eers toe haar man tuiskom, het hy die gat

bo in die muur raakgesien. Met nadere on-

dersoek het hulle eers stukkies sement op

die vloer gekry en toe die koel.

Die koel, waarvan net die voorste punt

gevind is, was so groot soos n AA-batte-

ry. Dit het n gat so groot soos n R5-munt-

stuk in hul dak gelaat. Die diepte van die

koel in die muur is 10 tot 15 mm.

Sy vermoed dat die koel moontlik by die

Durbanville-skietbaan afgevuur is, maar

daar is geen bewyse nie.

Ek dink die skietbaan is te naby aan die

huise. Ek wil mense hiervan bewus maak,

het sy gemaan.

Sy is nou bekommerd omdat sy nog niks

weer vandieDurbanville-polisie daaroor ge-

hoor het nie.

Lt. kol. Marius Swanepoel van die Dur-

banville-polisie, wat die saak ondersoek, het

hierop ges dis blote spekulasie oorwaar die

koel vandaan kom, omdat die koel deur

enigeen afgevuur kon gewees het.

Die koel is weggestuur vir ballistiese

toetse.

Hy het ges die saakword in n baie ernsti-

ge lig beskou, maar dat ballistiese toetse n

rukkie duur.

Ons ondersoek die saak. Ballistiese toet-

se is op die toneel gedoen, maar die uitslag

daarvan is nog nie bekend nie, het hy ges.

Wat egter wel seker is, is dat dit iemand

se dood kon veroorsaak het.

TygerBurger het in sy argief gelees dat n

renoster met n .375-geweer doodgeskiet kan

word. Swanepoel het gewaarsku dat mense

onder geen omstandighede n vuurwapen in

n woongebied moet afvuur nie, omdat dit

mense se dood kan veroorsaak as hulle deur

n dwaalkoel getref word.

Toep gebore n kuierplekfrustrasie

ESM ERASMUS

@erasmusesme

n

Splinternuwe toep (app), wat sedert

1 Desember beskikbaar is, het gestal-

te gekry uit n Durbanville-ma se

frustrasie met kinderonvriendelike kuier-

plekke en aktiwiteite.

Deur slegs aan die

skerm van jou foon te

raak, sal jy inligting

kan kry oor n hele rits

kindervriendelike akti-

witeite; ook oor wat

pas met hul kroos kan

doen.

Tanya Badenhorst

(32), n oud-leerder van

Horskool Stellenberg

wat aan die Hor Mei-

sieskool Paarl gematri-

kuleer het, s sy het

nooit besef hoeveel

daar in Durbanville is

om te doen nie hier

reg onder my neus.

Durbanville is n ge-

sinsvriendelike dorp

en gemeenskap vir al-

mal, met winkelsen-

trums, perderitte, wyn-

plase en staproetes wat

wag om ontdek te word.

Ons moes egter gro-

tendeels op ons eie ont-

dekkingsreise endie so-

siale media staatmaak om plekke te vind

waar ons as n klomp mammas of n gesin

kon saamkuier.

Moederskap kom met n hand vol uitda-

gings. n Mens vind soms die dinge wat jy

eers geniet het, raak n straf eerder as ont-

spanning, s sy. Soos die keer toe sy met

haar maandoue baba Moedersdag in Simon-

stad gaan vier het. Dit was n sonnige dag

en alles het volgens plan verloop. Binne n

oogwink het dinge egter skielik verander

met my tweejarige wat van die klouterraam

afval, kos wat bedien word en n baba wat

tegelykertyd gevoed moet word.

Ekmoesmyself uit die situasie verwyder

omvirmybaba op n kalmplek te sorg,maar

die karwas snikhete ge-

bak en daar was geen

voedingsgeriewe in die

restaurant se kleedka-

mers nie. My suster het

nogal voorgestel ek

gaan sit op die toilet en

voed, wat my glad nie

aangestaan het nie.

Die restaurant het

geen noodhulptoerus-

ting beskikbaar gehad

nie enmymamoes hulp

soek by die naaste ap-

teek, terwyl my man

troos en die ander se

kos koud raak.

Hoewel dit een van

ons gunsteling-eetplek-

ke is, was dit skielik

duidelik net nie geskik

vir n gesin met ons sa-

mestelling nie, vertel

sy.

Soos enige entrepre-

neursonderneming het

ons n probleem geden-

tifiseer en n oplossing

probeer vind. Sy het

haar idee met vriende soos Cecile van der

Merwe, LidaVlok, CarlienMurray enNadia

Hogan bespreek, en hulle was almal baie po-

sitief oor die gedagte. Ons het begin deur

navorsing te doen oor plekkewaar ouers wil

kuier en dan tweedens wat hulle verwag

daar moet wees. Hiervolgens het ons drie

kriteria saamgestel, naamlik babavriende-

lik (0 tot 2 jaar), peutervriendelik (3 tot 5

jaar) en kindervriendelik (6 tot 12 jaar).

Ons het begin met n mammaforum,

maar vinnig besef ouerskap gaan oor meer

as net mammas. Met hedendaagse onder-

steunende pappas wil hulle dalk ook soms

alleen die kinders uitvat.

Hiervoor het ons sommer n lekker snor-

ikoon gebruik om onder andere aan te dui

dat pappas dit sal geniet, dat daar byvoor-

beeld n algemene area is vir dinge soos doe-

ke ruil en dit dus nie net in die vrouebadka-

mers beskikbaar is nie. As jy byvoorbeeld

Craft-bier wil gaan geniet en jy het kinders

tussen 3 en 5 jaar, klik jy net ophierdie spesi-

fieke ikone en die toepassing sal n lys voor-

stelle in jou omgewing gee.
