DESIRE RORKE

N n afwesigheid van sowat 15

jaar het 9 aktiewe nuwe buurt-

wagte in Brackenfell reeds n

verskil gemaak aan die oorlog

teen misdaad.

Die eerste van di buurtwagte is

in Januarie vanjaar op die been ge-

bring nadat die gemeenskap van

Morgenster besef het misdaad is

aan die toeneem en gemeenskaps-

betrokkendheid is broodnodig.

Sedertdien het agt ander buurte

hul voorbeeld gevolg.

Buurtwagte is besig omvankrag

tot krag te gaan en die gemeenskap,

sowel as ondernemings, is al hoe

meer besig om toe te tree en betrok-

ke te raak in ons gesamentlike po-

gings om misdaad in ons area aan

te spreek, s ao. Erica Crous, poli-

siewoordvoerder.

Volgens kol. Willie Joseph, sta-

siebevelvoerder, het die verwikke-

linge gesorg vir n nuwe bedeling in

Brackenfell, waar die gemeenskap

baie meer vertroue in die polisie

het.

Ons het gevind die gemeen-

skapslede wat by die buurtwagte

aangesluit het, wil n daadwerklike

verskil in hul onmiddellike omge-

wings maak, s hy.

Daarbenewens het die misdaad-

tendense ook verbeter.

Uit n statistiese misdaadoog-

punt kan mens beslis n verskil op-

merk, voeg hy by.

nBuurtwag is nburgerlike orga-

nisasie van inwonerswat ooreenge-

kom het om as n georganiseerde

liggaam as waghond vir die poli-

sie te dien.

Volgens Joseph is di konsep van

gemeenskapspolisiring in polisie-

wetgewing ingeskryf.

n Buurtwagmoet by die plaasli-

ke subforum van die gemeenskaps-

polisieforum (GPF) registreer, wat

die buurtwag dan by die GPF sal

verteenwoordig, s hy.

Die oogmerk van n buurtwag is

om n goeie verhouding onder inwo-

ners te bevorder en om deur patrol-

lering, en soms bloot deur bedag te

wees op kriminele aktiwiteite, die

polisie in kennis te stel en ophoogte

te hou van verdagte aktiwiteite.

Die GPF is die spreekbuis van

die gemeenskap en speel dus n baie

belangrike rol in die verhouding

tussen die polisie en die gemeen-

skap, s Joseph.

Sedertdien het die GPF-lidmaat-

skap en verteenwoordiging byGPF-

vergaderings in Brackenfell ook

met rasse skrede gegroei.

Die invloed van die nuwe buurtwagte

was baie positief, en het ook gelei tot baie

meer inhegtenisnemings op die dorp,

beaam Leon Brynard, GPF-voorsitter.

n Gesamentlike optrede deur die

buurtwagte, polisie, verkeer enmetropo-

lisie het ook in Augustus vanjaar gesorg

vir groter bewusmaking by die buurt-

waglede.

Ons hetmet die padblokkade sowat 15

dronk bestuurders afgetrek en in hegte-

nis geneem, en baie ander wat met on-

padvaardige voertuie en sonder lisensies

bestuur. Vir die meeste van die buurt-

waglede wat die aand betrokke was, was

die wetteloosheid n groot ontnugte-

ring, s hy. Die buurtwagte se hand is

verder verlede week versterk deur n

plaaslike onderneming, Masiqhame

Communications, wat twee Kenwood-

tweerigtingradios aan al die buurtwagte

geskenk het en ook n herhaler op die

Bottelaryberg laat opsit het om kommunika-

sie te verbeter.

Hulle het ook alle lisensiegelde betaal en

die buurtwagte hul eie netwerk gegee. Elke

buurtwagvoorsitter, asook elke sektorbevel-

voerder, het sy eie handradio gekry. Een ba-

sisstel sal by die polisiestasie genstalleer

word en die ander een by Eugene Louw,

buurtwagvoorsitter van Proteahoogte, s

Crous.

Dan is daar ook radios wat gebruik kan

word deur buurtwaglede wanneer hulle aan

diens is.

Daar word nou ook beoog om n tiende

buurtwag op die been te bring in Pro-

teahoogte. Daar sal gefokus word op die

omgewings van De Oude Spruit en Son-

kring.

Alle inwoners in die gebiede wat be-

langstel om aan te sluit, kan Eugene

Louw by 072 984 4116 kontak.

wagte by di nommers skakel:

Hier is Eugene Louw (Proteahoogtebuurtwag se voor

sitter), J.J. Smith (nasionale operasionele bestuurder:

Masiqhame Communications) en Phillip van der Riel

(Morgensterbuurtwag se voorsitter).

n Gesin van Vredekloofhoogte was

vroer vandeesweek baie gelukkig om

ongedeerd van n huisroof af te kom.

Die voorval het verlede Maandag 10 Sep-

tember omstreeks 20:00 plaasgevind.

Volgens inligting was die eienaar van die

huis saam met n vriend besig met werk in

sy motorhuis.

Vier onbekende gewapende mans het die

motorhuis binnegekom en gevra vir wapens

en geld. Die verdagtes het die motorhuis se

deur toegemaak en het die huis binnege-

gaan, s ao. Erica Crous van die Bracken-

fell-polisie.

Die eienaar se vrou en twee kinders was

ook in die huis. Die verdagtes het almal vas-

gebind. Hulle het TVs, juweliersware, n

vuurwapen en selfone geneem en dit in die

eienaar se voertuig, n Opel Astra, gelaai,

waarmee hulle weggejaag het.

Niemand is gedurende die voorval beseer

nie, maar die Brackenfell-slagofferonder-

steuners is na die toneel om die slagoffers by

te staan.

n Saak van huisroof word ondersoek. Die

voertuig is Vrydagoggend inMitchells Plain

aangetref.

Niemand verdien om slagoffers van hier-

die tipe misdrywe te wees nie en almal van

onshet die reg omveilig enbeskut in onshui-

se te voel. Ons moet egter besef dit is in ons

hedendaagse samelewing broodnodig om al-

le moontlike maatrels in plek te kry om ons

onmiddellike omgewing na die beste van ons

vermo te beveilig, s Crous.

Maak seker dat veiligheidshekke te alle

tye gesluit is. As jy buite jou woning is, wees

bewus van wat om jou aangaan. Rapporteer

onmiddellik enige verdagte persone of voer-

tuie.Moeniehuiweromdadelikdie plaaslike

polisiekantoor te kontaknie. Die sektorvoer-

tuie kan ook direk gekontak word.

Sy moedig die gemeenskap aan om GPF-

vergaderings by te woon om sodoende op

hoogte te bly van wat in jou area aangaan.

Oorweeg dit om ook jou buurtwagvergade-

rings by te woon of selfs daarby aan te sluit.

DESIRE RORKE

A gang of five armed robbers got away with

cigarettes and money to the value of R90 000,

after a robbery in Northpine last Tuesday eve-

ning.

According to Capt Gerhard Niemand of the

Kraaifontein police the five unknown men ap-

proached the Northpine Supermarket on foot

as the manager came out at about 21:15 to lock

up the shop.

They forced him back in to the shop and

held himat gunpoint, asking for cigarettes and

money. They then left on foot, but we suspect

that the get-away vehicle could have been par-

ked a block or two away, says Niemand.

No arrests have been made yet.

DESIRE RORKE

To produce learners with skills in engi-

neering is very valuable to South Africa,

as it is a key driver for human develop-

ment, said Minister of Education in the

Western Cape Donald Grant.

Without these skills, alreadya rarity inAf-

rica, African nations will be unable to devel-

op crucial infrastructure without outside

aid, he added.

Grant visited the Northpine Technical

High School on Friday evening, for its offi-

cial opening.

The need for such a school was brought to

Grants attention in 2009, by the Old Paarl

Technical High School Steering Committee,

an action group consisting of several role-

players in the community.

The nearest technical high school was

Bellville Tech, which as explained by the

committee, was in terms of travel too far for

those learners who wished to pursue a tech-

nical study field, he explained.

After an audit of the provinces infrastruc-

ture needs, the Western Cape Education De-

partment approved the building of the new

technical high school in Northpine, which

commenced in the second half of 2010.

Technical schools such as this are ex-

tremely valuable to this government. They

provide important educational opportuni-

ties for learners who want to study in fields

such as mechanical technology and engi-

neering and are key to developing skills in

the Western Cape.

Northpine Technical High is one of five

technical high schools in the province.

The other four are Delft Technical HS,

OudeMolen, Belville and Drostdy Technical

High School. Each of these schools specialis-

es in technical subjects such as mechanical

technology; electrical technology; civil tech-

nology; engineering, graphics and design, as

well as mathematics and science.

According to Grant, the attainment of

many of theMillenniumDevelopment Goals

for example requires the achievement of suf-

ficient engineering capacity to develop in-

frastructure and sustainable technological

development.

We certainly cant progress as a province

if we do not have the requisite engineering

skills, he said.

Grant commented on the unique design of

the school, saying that it is in itself an engi-

neering feat.

For example, they designed the school as

a citadel similar to an enclosed city with a

single gated entry, to address security con-

cerns and to create a safe, defensible space

which is alsoprotected fromtheharsh south-

easterly summer winds.

The hall and the administration block

were positioned within the perimeter of the

classroom blocks to minimise circulation

and the distinct roofscape allows rainwater

to be discharged into water tanks which are

to be utilised to irrigate sports fields and

food gardens.

Grant said that architects, Mey-

er&Vorster, succeeded in their brief to pro-

vide a high quality, low maintenance, sus-

tainable public building, adding that it was

also the first school in South Africa to

achieve a four start green rating.

He furthermore referred to the very rare

protea, the Blushing Bride growing on the

school grounds.

This plant, the last of its species growing

in the wild, was found on site during con-

struction.

A 5 000m section of this site has been

fencedoff to ensure this iconicSouthAfrican

flower continues to flourish.

What I ask of this school community is

to protect this school as you do this very rare

plant, he said.

The school opened its doors for Grade 8

and 9 learners in January of this year, and

will enrol its first Grades 10s in 2013.

ACHMAT EBRAHIM

STADSBESTUURDER

Retail therapy is supposed to be

shopping with the primary pur-

pose of improving the buyersmood

or disposition. Actually it is a psy-

chological disorder called onioma-

nia or compulsive shopping dis-

order, according to researchers at

MelbourneUniversity inAustralia.

Some idea of the seriousness of the

condition can be gauged froma 2001

study by the European Union

which found that 33 % of shoppers

have a high level of addiction to

rashorunnecessary consumption.

Further evidence of the affliction

can be seen in the increasing inci-

dence of obesity which also results

from rash or unnecessary con-

sumption.The challenge for the re-

tail industry is to find ways to in-

crease the number of oniomanicas

and to make sure they are not

cured. One third of customers mak-

ing unnecessary purchases certain-

ly helps the turnover, but imagine

the effect on the bottom line if the

percentage of those with compul-

sive shopping disorder could be

pushed up to, say, 50 or even 60 %?

To do this the managers of super-

markets have devised a number of

ways to keep shoppers in the store

and exposed to temptation for as

long as possible while promoting

the fiction of quick shopping.

The favourite trick is to put the

newest, slowest cashiers on the ex-

press tills to frustrate those healthy

customers purchasing 10 items or

less. Shoppers in a hurry have al-

ready learned that it is better to join

the trolley-pushers in the long

queues because they move faster

throughmore tills manned bymore

efficient staff. But it is a trap set for

those suffering from compulsive

shopping disorder. Store managers

know that the main impulse pur-

chases are sweets, chips, soft

drinks, chocolates and magazines.

They have also noticed that smart

shoppers like women with small

children know how to avoid the

aisleswhere these temptinggoodies

are on display.

So, to dealwith theonio-

maniacs and take revenge

on the smart shoppers,

they have created, in the

name of improved serv-

ice, a new system which

funnels customers

through a single queue to-

wards a battery of tills.

The system produces nice

long queues and the

stores take advantage by

lining the route with

shelves stacked with sweets, cool

drinks, chips, chocolates (the im-

ported, high-mark-up kinds), nuts

and other tempting treats you

avoided in the store. Pity the young

mother trying to drag

two screaming pre-

schoolers through this

valley of temptation! She

really has no option but

to bribe the little mon-

sters with sweet things.

And so the young are

corrupted while the re-

solve of those on diet is

sabotaged and the health

of the nation is under-

mined. Is it any wonder

that the world has an obesity prob-

lem? But, hey, the disease is good

for the bottom line and what could

be more important than that?

Big people better for a stores bottom line

TANDY-LEE MARINUS

AND DESIRE RORKE

The ducks being removed from the De

Oude Spruit dam in Brackenfell, has left

bitter emotions with local residents feel-

ing that a part of their community is be-

ing taken away.

There is no need to remove them, said

Gertie Joubert from Kuils River, who often

visits the dam and has been entertained by

the ducks.

Although concerns about the

safety of the ducks have been

raised because they are often

overlooked by passing motorists

resulting in death, complaints

about noise have been lodged.

Cyril van Reenen, who has

been a gardener in the area for

more than three years is onewho

is concern for the fowls safety.

People drive over theducks in

the road. People give them old

bread and bring food and their

children to see the ducks. I know

of no complaints about the ducks

bothering anyone.

Yet another resident from Pro-

teaHeights says that she rescued

some of these birds as hatchlings

and even helped to raise them.

I have always fed them and

helped when they were sick or

trapped in hooks and line. It is

tragic that they were removed

without consulting the communitymembers

in the area. Yes, there are people who com-

plain about them, but I believe the majority

of the community enjoys the presence of

these birds, she says.

According to her it must have been very

traumatic for these birds to have been

trapped and caught, after they have trusted

mankind for so long.

The City of Cape Town, however, remains

adamant. We received many complaints

from residents in the vicinity regarding the

birds, ranging fromhigh noise levels to dam-

aged gardens and soiled patios, said Tande-

ka Gqada, executive mayoral committee

member for the parks department.

According to Gqada the city has a respon-

sibility to manage the high numbers of alien

bird species, which is a direct result of the

feeding of the birds.

This high concentration of alien water

bird species, which include geese and duck,

alsodisturbs thenatural balanceof thewater

causing fish and plants to die, she said.

The city is responsible by law to remove

birds such as Mallard to prevent interbreed-

ing with indigenous birds. After the alien

birds have been removed the indigenous

birds should return to the dams,she said.

The birds were taken to farms outside the

city where they will assist to control snails.

Dam ducks sent

off to catch snails

The cardboard containers in which the ducks were placed

and transported to farms outside the city.

Mre, 20 September, is n goeie dag om jou mo-

tor by die huis te los en jou deel te doen vir die

bevordering van dieWreldtoerisme-organisa-

sie (WTO) se veldtog vir die bevordering van

hernubare en volhoubare energie.

Boonop bied dit die geleentheid om ander,

goedkoper vervoer op die proef te stel.

Wesgro en die nasionale departement van

omgewingsake en toerisme het kragte saamge-

snoer om 20 September as Los-die-Kar-dag in

Kaapstad en die Wes-Kaap te vier.

Los-die-Kar-dag is in ooreenstemming met

die Wreldtoerisme-organisasie se tema vir

vanjaar, naamlik Toerisme en Volhoubare

Energie: Dryfkrag agter Volhoubare Ontwik-

keling.

Met Los-die-Kar-dagword beoog om die kool-

stofvoetspoor ligter te maak deurmense aan te

moedig om alternatiewe vervoer in te span en

op di wyse ook die stad en sy omgewing uit

n ander hoek te besigtig.

Kaapstad se MyCiti-busdiens, die fietslaan

aan die westelike kusgebied, Metrorail en Gol-

denArrow-bussemag op die dag gebruikword.

Wesgro-personeel sal die skilderagtige toe-

risteroete via Simonstaduit n trein vanMetro-

rail aanskou om die publiek aan te spoor om

ook op di wyse toeriste in hul eie stad te word.

Met hierdie spanpoging hoop Wesgro en die

departement van omgewingsake en toerisme

om die aandag te vestig daarop dat motors be-

soedeling veroorsaak.

Die boodskap kom duidelik deur: Help ons

om ons stad en die hele Wes-Kaap meer omge-

wingsvriendelik vir almal te kry.

Wesgro se uitvoerende hoof, Nils Flaatten, s

hernubare energie hou belowendemoontlikhe-

de in vir mense wat die Wes-Kaap wil bel en

Wesgro streef dus daarna om handel en beleg-

ging in die provinsie op di grondslag te bevor-

der.

Volgens die WTO is vanjaar se tema juis ge-

kies om die rol van moderne, doeltreffende en

bekostigbare energie in dienste aan toeriste te

beklemtoon.

DESIRE RORKE

Met sy lang hare en tatoermerke is

Pierre Rossouw besig om vinnig die

harte van Suid-Afrikaners te steel op

kykNET se nuwe reeks Ons Soek Die

Sanger.

Dis juis di andersheidwat die 26-jari-

ge boorling van Kraaifontein laat aandag

trek.

Ek lyk soos n rocker enmense weet nie

wat om te verwag tot ek my mond oop-

maak en sing nie,s hy.

En dis net daar waar alles verander,

want met sy fluweelstem het Pierre hom-

self tot in die topvier van di gewilde Afri-

kaanse musiekreeks gesing.

Eintlik n liedjieskrywer van formaat,

het Pierre al baie nommer een-treffers vir

ander Suid-Afrikaanse sangers geskryf.

Ekhet op sesjarige ouderdomal betrok-

ke geraak by musiek met koor en klavier-

spel, maar het eers n skool professioneel

begin liedjies skryf, vertel hy.

As ek vir ander sangers skryf, skryf ek

vir hulle wat hulle wil h, maar vir myself

skryf ek meer kontemporr.

Treffers uit Pierre se pen sluit in Jys

die Een van Desmond Wells, Al s jy

wat van Zack van Niekerk en Inmy dro-

me van Cheree.

Pierre se eie unieke klank beskryf hy as

n mengsel tussen Theuns Jordaan en n

bietjie rock met n boeremusiek-gevoel.

Hy beskryf ook sy lirieke as stories oor

die ou plaashuis of herinneringe uit

kinderdae, eerder as liefdesliedjies.

Amper alle Afrikaanse liedjies draai

vandag om die liefde, en als wat daarmee

gepaard gaan, soos teleurstelling, hartseer

of n gemis. Dis nie my ding nie.

Hy het met sy eerste oudisie vir die

reeks by GrandWest sy eie liedjie Eks-

kuus Oom gesing, waarmee hy dadelik

baie aandag getrek het.

Select-musiek, wat n betrokke is by

di reeks, het selfs belangstelling getoon in

die liedjie.

Voor die reeks begin het, het Pierre

nooit gedink hy sou self die mikrofoon op-

tel nie, todat daar vir hom ges is hy het

moontlik selfs meer talent as baie van die

sangers vir wie hy skryf.

Ek het sulke goeie terugvoering uit die

reeks ontvang dat ek nou beplan omn die

reeks my eie album op te neem, s hy.

Die wenner van die reeks sal n totale

pryspakket van nagenoeg eenmijoen rand

ontvang, wat n platekontrak by Select-

musiek insluit.

Die kompetisie. wat oor dertien weke

uitgesaai word, het seweweke gelede afge-

skop met twingtig finaliste, almal mans

tussen 20 en 40, wat landwyd gekies is.

Die aanbieder is Lizz Meiring en die be-

oordelaars is AnnieMalan, BrandonOcto-

ber, Niel Schoombee en Heidi Edeling.

Die komende Donderdag sal hy in n du-

et saam met Sarah Theron sy hart moet

uitsing om die toptwee te haal, waarna die

eindronde op 30 September in Johannes-

burg gaan plaasvind. Ons Soek die Sanger

word op Dinsdae om 17:00, Woensdae om

13:00, Donderdae om 21:00, Vrydae om

22:00 en Saterdae om 21:30 uitgesaai.

ANDR BAKKES

While walking through the rows

of toys at the TheoMarais Sports

Complex in Milnerton on Satur-

day, itwaseasy to imagine the in-

nocent dolls studying the people

passing by.

Then,whenno-one iswithin ears-

hot, the model cars would rev their

engines and the tiny plastic men on

the intricately designed plastic dis-

play world would stretch their

backs and promptly return to their

default position to avoid suspicion.

All this plays out in the imagina-

tion, of course.

Or does it?

When TygerBurgers journalist

walked past the giant Bismarck bo-

at model, the rows of guns moved

with him...

He turned his head in disbelief

and then the propeller startedwhiz-

zing alarmingly.

I tried to act nonchalant while I

leapt back in horror.

The older man with the remote

control giggled like anaughty child.

Isnt that, after all, what these

conventions are all about? Getting

in touch with ones inner child?

The Cape Model and Toy club

members insist it is more about col-

lecting those toys that leave todays

adults reminiscing of a bygone era

a less hurried time.

Present-day children sometimes

stare in fascination at the things

their parents did when they were

young, and even sometimes desire

something they never knew.

Therewere indeed children at the

annual Spring Fair on Saturday,

but their wide eyes were for once

matched by their adult peers.

And peers they were!

Everyone who walked into the

bustling and colourful hall at the

sport complex shared an unparalle-

led wonder.

TygerBurger is told that the club

is trying to get as much exposure

as possible to the Toy Shows so as

to grow the hobby and to encourage

the younger generation to take

part, but perhaps it gives them an

excuse to show off their toys to like-

minded adults.

Members buy and sell various ty-

pes of die-cast toys, train sets, slot

cars, plastic kits and all manner of

collectable toys.

To join anadult needs to pay aR60

membership fee. If youwant to join,

just contact Alan on 073 231 4488 or

021 558 9533 (after hours).

Staff and learners at the new Northpine Tech-

nical High School in Kraaifontein, were de-

lighted to receive 10 indigenous milkwood

trees as part of PamGolding Properties (PGP)

national initiative to plant indigenous trees in

communities around the country.

Earlier this year, on Earth Day, 31 March,

PGP group CEO Dr Andrew Golding, issued

a challenge to staff to each plant an indigenous

tree and he in turn would plant 1 000 trees.

Being Arbour Week, the local Pam Golding

Properties Kuils River office felt the timing

was perfect to plant the youngmilkwood trees

on the grounds of the brand new school, which

had no trees at all.

In addition, the PGP office is to donate a wa-

ter fountain to the school in honour of its offi-

cial opening.

Located in Northpine, the school, which

opened its doors earlier this year, serves the

greater Brackenfell and Kraaifontein area,

communities where learners previously had

to commute to a technical school in Bellville.

The school was built at a cost of R40 million

due to the requirements for technical facilities

to teach subjects such as mechanical and civil

engineering.

Vivenne Pretorius from the PGP head office

joined Corena Botha and Yolande Naude from

the Kuils River PGP office to plant the indige-

nous trees on Casual Friday.

The vice-principal of the school, Douglas

Oormeyer, who helped co-ordinate activities

on the tree planting day, says the school hosts

Grade 8 and 9, however, from 2013 they will

accept registration for Grades 10 and 11 while

in 2014 they will accept registration for their

first intake for Grade 12.

A passion for saving lives, has recently

earned a Bloubergstrand resident the ti-

tle of Western Province Lifeguard of the

Year.

The title is the cherry on top of a seven-

year-long involvementwith theBigBay Surf

Lifesaving Club.

Lifesaving became away of life for Darren

Willars after his younger son Craig Willars

(14) was first spotted by one of the clubs jun-

ior coaches.

The idea of combining his love for water

and being outdoors with lifesaving ap-

pealled to the then 42-year-old Darren.

Despite the challenge of completing 12-

hour patrol shifts and acquiring the knowl-

edge, skills, fitness and stamina to be a life-

guard, he took to this new lifestyle like a

duck to water.

Darren is also actively involved as the

coach and manager of the u-14 Nippers (the

name given to the clubs junior budding life-

guards).

Coaching the Nippers is a reward on its

own, Willars said. His u-14 Nippers were

the Western Province Champions this year,

a historical first for the club and an achieve-

ment he is really proud of.

It is probably my biggest achievement as

a lifeguard, Willar said.

His enthusiasm is shared by both his sons

Dayle Willars (20), who is a spot guard and

Craig who is currently doing his junior life-

guard programme.

Willars places great emphasis on safety -

amongst beach goers, swimmers, surfers

and his fellow lifeguards, who he constantly

reminds of this ever crucial concept.

I dont think theres anything greater

than saving the life of a human being, Wil-

lars said.

Darrens beach front resum includes be-

ing a qualified surf-instructor, completing

his level-three first aid course, surf examin-

er and completing 137 hours of voluntary

hours.

It is this passion for lifesaving and those

who need looking after on the beach that

earned him a lifeguard of the year title.

Nothing greater

than saving lives

As part of National Heart

AwarenessMonth, a recipe book

has been launched by Dr Vash

Mungal-Singh, CEO of the Heart

and Stroke Foundation of South

Africa (HSF), as anew tool to dis-

armSouthAfricas heart disease

time bomb.

The book titled Cook-

ing from the heart in-

cludes plans for hospi-

tals and public institu-

tions to adopt its recipes

and healthier eating

guidelines.

Mungal-Singh says

that this new initiative

is the first of its kind.

Weve launched

many initiatives over

the years but never one

quite like Cooking from

the heart, she added.

The unique book con-

tains popular budget-

friendly recipes which

have been submitted by

ordinary SouthAfricans

with a healthy twist

from medical and nutri-

tional experts by cutting

salt, sugar, fat and add-

ing a nutritional boost.

Mariska Fouche, pub-

lic affairs manager at Pharma

Dynamics, says the book will be

available free of charge to mem-

bers of the public who attend

free screenings for heart disease

risk factors at shopping centres

across the country during Heart

Awareness Month.

Fouche says that not only will

Cooking from the heart help

home cooks to produce more nu-

tritiousmeals, it is also an excel-

lent practical resource for

healthcare practitioners.

The book, which is available

free of charge to all members of

the public can be downloaded

from www.cookingfromthe-

heart.co.za, the mobi site

www.heartrecipes.mobi or visit

the nearest Clicks Clinic to pick

up one of 57 000 copies.

Motoriste op die Klipheuwelpad

buite Durbanville, asook veral

inwoners van Graanendal en

Durmont, staar van vandees-

week af erge vertragings van tot

n halfuur in spitstyd op di pad

in die gesig.

Dit kom nt toe motoriste voor-

verlede Vrydag n sug van verlig-

ting geslaak het oor die stop-en-ry-

beheer op n 7 km-gedeelte van die

pad tussen Durbanville en Klipheu-

wel gestaak is.

Die sowat 15 km-pad word reeds

die afgelope jaar deur Power RJM/

JV, wat deur die Wes-Kaapse de-

partment van vervoer en openbare

werke as kontrakteur aangestel is,

herstel en verbeter.

Volgens Charl Chambers, ter-

reinagent van Power/RJM JV, sal

die stop-en-rybeheer van die afgelo-

pe naweek af vir sowat vyf weke

geld. Dit kan egter langer duur as

die projek vertraagword deur swak

weer, n tekort aan bitumen en die

onklaar raak van toerusting.

Die frustrasie by motoriste het

vroer vanjaar opgevlam toe dit ge-

lyk het of die projek onskynlik stil-

staan.

Volgens Chambers is die vertra-

ging deels veroorsaak deur die

landwye tekort aan bitumen, asook

die buitengewone nat en koue win-

ter vanjaar. Voor daar met pad-

werke beginkanword,moet die pad

eers afgesper word en dan kan fina-

le grondtoetse, voorbereidings-

werk, opmetings en beplanning ge-

doen word. Dit lyk dus vir motoris-

te of daar niks aangaan nie

Di sowat R50 miljoen-projek,

wat in Julie klaar sou wees, sal nou

waarskynlik eers middel Novem-

ber voltooi word. Nadat motoriste

nie ag geslaan het op die spoedbe-

perking van 40 km/h nie, en een

van die direkteure langs die pad

raakgery is, is n stelsel ingebring

waarin n gemerkte voertuig die

verkeer begelei om sodoende die

spoedbeperking af te dwing. Dit

word veral toegepas as werkers op

die pad besig is. Die koste hieraan

alleen het sowat n R0,5 miljoen by

die totale koste van die projek ge-

voeg, het hy ges.

Daar is laasnaweek begin om die

laaste 1,5 km-gedeelte van die pad

van net anderkant Lubbestraat in

Durbanville tot by die indraai na

Groot Phezantekraal-plaas te her-

bou. Die werk het begin op die lin-

kerbaan (soos vanuit Durbanville)

en die regterbaan sal met stop-en-

rybeheer gebruik word om verkeer

in beide rigtings te reguleer.

Die padwerke aan die linkerbaan

oor die besige verkeerslig by die

Graanendal-woongebied en die in-

gang na Durmont vanuit Dur-

banville van sowat 150 m voor die

verkeersligkruising tot 200 m n

die verkeersligkruising is Sondag

gedoen om die minimum ontwrig-

ting vir motoriste te veroorsaak,

het Chambers ges.

Die pad is reeds verlede Vrydag

gesluit vir tweeringtingverkeer.

Die ryvoorrang by die verkeerslig-

kruising by die Brackenfell-boule-

vard (by Graanendal) en Durmon-

ingang sal deur vlagmanne per

hand verleen word. Chambers s

groot opeenhopings wordmet spits-

tye soggens en in die middae ver-

wag. Motors sal na verwagting tot

by Langebergweg en selfs tot verby

die Mediclinic Durbanville opdam.

Die komende Saterdagaand is dit inter-

nasionale kyk-na-die-maan-aand.

Dan gaan daar op talle plekke dwarsoor

die wreld na die maan gekyk word. Dit sal

Ugoedheid en liefde salmy lewe lank bymy

bly en ek sal tuis wees in die huis van die

Here tot in lengte van dae. Psalm 23:6

Weerbaarheid

deur buurtwagte

Niemand wat hier lees is nog nooit direk

deur misdaad geraak nie. S erg is dit.

Hoe moeiliker dit met almal gaan, hoe

groter die misdaadprobleem.

Intussen word die polisie, die regering,

die ekonomie, swak waardes en algehele

wetteloosheid blameer met goeie rede.

Intussen bly die tronke vol. S vol, dat

die president die overflow verskoon het.

n Baie groot persentasie van die ver-

skoondes het dadelik weer misdaad ge-

pleeg. Die president trek sy skouers op en

ons bloei ngmeer letterlik en figuurlik.

Dit is dn dat ons besef ons moet reg in

eie hande neem, maar wel op n georgani-

seerde manier. In jou buurt is jou buurt-

wag die ore en o op die grond en op me-

kaar se eiendom. Buurtwagte behaal reu-

sesuksesse in misdaadbekamping en is

van onskatbare waarde vir die polisie.

Oral in die noordelike voorstede waar

di georganiseerde groepe hande vat met

die polisie, sekerheidsfirmas, verkeers-

owerhede en die metropolisie, word groot

welslae behaal. Verhoudings word gebou

inwoners leer ken die polisie nmekaar.

Die polisie maak persoonlik kennis met

inwoners, leer ken hulle letterlik by die

naam.Elke sentimeter grondkrynuwebe-

tekenis. Ds waarvan ons meer nodig het:

samewerking,wat begrip enkenniskweek

en ons meer weerbaar maak. Steun jou

buurtwag. Dis net tot jou voordeel.

LEWENSKIEKIE

LEWENSKIEKIE

Ek het geen simpatie of empatie met iemand

wat op straat staan en bedel nie. Ek glo dat

hulle net te lui is om tewerk en dat ditmakli-

ke geld is. Jyhet gesondheid.As jy ngesonde

verstand het, kan jy vir jou werk skep. Elke

mens het n talent. Gebruik dit.

Dit het nie altyd so goed met my gegaan

nie. Toe my eerste man siek geraak het, het

hy sy werk verloor en het ek ook nie werk

gehadnie. Dit is nie hoe hard jy val nie,maar

wat jy doen om op te staan.

Ek kon nie werk kry nie, want ek het te

lank tuis gebly en na kinders gekyk. Toe die

balju een oggend aan my deur klop, het ek

besef ek moet iets doen, anders gaan ek op

straat sit.

Ekhet toebroodjiesmet die laaste brood en

konfyt in my huis gemaak en dit gaan ver-

koop.Met di geld, het ekweer brood gekoop

en die toebroodjies verkoop. Ek is daardie

aand met R160 se wins huis toe.

Ek het R100 gespaar omweer die volgende

dag toebroodjies te maak. Ek het later n

Duitser raakgeloop en het salami, wat van

Windhoek gekom het, begin verkoop.

In hierdie tyd het ek vele kere bedelaars

probeer kry om saam met my te werk, maar

10 kg-salami wat tot 1 km ver gedra moes

word, was te harde werk vir hulle.

Die lewe gee mens keuses. Staan op, veg

terug.

Het jy al ooit die geld wat jy gister gekry

het deur te bedel aangewend om jou eie werk

te skep?

Wat is dan die probleem dat mense nie

werk het nie? Net drie dinge: vertroue, res-

pek vir jou medemens en geloof in jouself.

Dit is al wat jy nodig het om jou eie werk

te skep.

Waar daar n wil is, is daar n weg.

Personeel

verdien lof

Ek was bevoorreg om deur die verkeers-

departement uitgenooi te word na hul uit-

reik-geleentheid by die Alta du Toit-na-

sorgsentrum.

Oppad soontoehet ekgewonderhoeveel

mense nie sal s die verkeersdepartement

moet liewer aandag gee daaraan ommoto-

riste te vang wat in woongebiede jaag nie.

Die opgewondenheid van die inwoners

van Alta du Toit het my laat besef hoe be-

langrik dit is om soms net n klein bietjie

van jou tyd te gee omminderbevoorregtes

gelukkig te maak. Die uitstraal van hul

borrelende liefde laat mens vergeet dat jy

binne die woelinge van die stad is!

Elkeen wil net vir n mens n drukkie

gee om te s dit is vir hulle verskriklik lek-

ker. Wat my sal bybly, is die deernis en

geduld waarmee die personeel hierdie in-

woners benader. Ek wil van die geleent-

heid gebruikmaak om die verkeersdepar-

tement en spesiaal die senior inspekteur,

Waldo Prinsloo, te bedank vir dit wat hul-

le gedoen het.

Ek is seker die inwoners sal nog baie

lank vertel van hul ondervinding om ag-

terop n motorfiets van n speedcop te

ry en om aan n helikopter te kan vat! Dan

wil ek ook n spesiale woord van dank rig

aan George Gordon, Marina van derMeu-

len en al die personeel wat elke dag hul

alles gee om die inwoners te beskerm en

gelukkig te maak. Iemand het by di ge-

leentheid die opmerking gemaak:Hierdie

personeel verdien eendag almal n goue

stoel in die hemel!

Praat minder, doen meer

Daar word gereeld in briewe en artikels ge-

praat van die landwye probleem in S.A. van

straatmense wat n oorlas van hulself maak.

Selfs hier in Durbanville het ons probleem

die laaste jare vererger soos die arbeidswet-

gewing meer werkgewer-onvriendelik ge-

word het. Die bergie-motel oorkant die

polisiestasie is n goeie voorbeeld van die

nagtelike skande in Durbanville.

Durbanville is my dorp al vir meer as 30

jaar en ek was nog altyd gegrief dat dit n

dorp is wat gekenmerk word deur n skewe

gemeenskap, gegewe die rykmansmen-

taliteit aan die een kant en die armoede en

drankmisbruik aan die ander kant. Hoe ons

agter ons ho heinings, 4x4s en kerke skuil.

Terwyl groepe van ons mede-burgers op

die straat lewe in haglike omstandighede en

ons steeds drank aanhulle verkoop asof daar

nie nmre is nie. Wanneer gaan al die kerk-

gemeenskappe vanDurbanville ernstig raak

oor die gemeenskap waarin hul bestaan?

Daarword uitreik-aksies gehou, geld in-

gesamel en allerhande twak gepraat, maar

dit lyk vir my oor die algemeen is dit net n

sosiale klub wat so bietjie sing en uit Bybels

lees. Ek sien geen, maar geen vasberade pog-

ing van hierdie sosiale klubs om n nag-

skerm te befonds nie. Daar is altyd geld om

een, twee, drie dominees, pastore te betaal,

maar nooit n nagskuiling nie. Die Ameri-

kaners het n uitdrukking Nimb oftewel

not in my backyard. Kan ek n uitdaging

rig aan die kerke van Durbanville om binne

die volgende maand n paar pre-fabs op te

rig op die parkeerterrein by die Daniel-sen-

trum en dit te bestuur? Ek wed hulle sal dit

nie kan doen nie. Maar Sondag sal die kerke

weer volgepak wees. Dis mos Durbanville se

spesialiteit: Ons kan praat... en praat.

Bedelaars moet werk

I would like to extendmy heartfelt thanks

to all at TygerbergHospital staff, especial-

ly to Dr Ackerman, Dr Els, Dr Smit and

the day staff of Ward D6.

Just over three years ago I was diagno-

sed with prostate cancer. It was a serious

blow I suffered from depression since.

In August my life was forever changed:

I was chosen to receive brachy therapy,

which is a revolutionary surgery to treat

prostate cancer. The operation was a suc-

cess. Through this opportunity, this gift,

I shall move forward in joy and positivity.

Thank you Tygerberg.

Calling all artists over 60

Another call to creative youth to submit

design proposals has been presented, as

Shift is hosting their annual Fresh Talent

Sustainable Design Competition.

The competition is our main platform to

showcase examples of sustainable design and

how small things can make a difference,said

Janine Johnston, CEO of Shift.

It aims to challenge young people to think

beyond beauty and functionality and consider

how design can influence significant change

to local and global communities.

To enter, designers should submit concept

proposals, in response to the brief: Small

Change; A World of Difference.

The submissionsmay span various contem-

porary design fields from product, industrial

and surface design, communication and

graphic design, textile and fashion design, ar-

chitecture and engineering, to create new

models for sustainable business and commu-

nity development projects.

Presentationsmay be submitted in the form

of mood/story boards, video or sound clips,

graphic depictions or even written proposal

documents.

The 25 finalists selected will benefit from

the support of local and international design

and sustainability experts and will get to par-

ticipate in a social design collaboration in

Cape Town in February 2013.

Three winners will be chosen and will get

to go on an exchange trip to Sweden.

Spirits in the Durbanville wine valley

are ebullient after the region deliv-

ered the three trophy winners the

most from one wine area in this

years Absa Top 10 Pinotage Awards.

Proudly taking their place among the

Top 10winners out of 132 entries, wereAl-

tydgedacht Pinotage 2011, Diemersdal Pi-

notage 2011 and the Durbanville Hills

Rhinofields Pinotage 2011.

Most often celebrated for itswhitewine

varieties and sauvignon blanc in particu-

lar, the Durbanville wine valleys reputa-

tion as an all-rounder for quality wines

has been given a significant boost with

these latest accolades.

We are very proud of these achieve-

ments, said Thys Louw, chairman of the

Durbanville Wine Valley Association.

A highlight for us, which makes this

performance even more exceptional, is

that only seven of our 11 member farms

actually make pinotage, he said.

Louw, who is also the winemaker at

Diemersdal, said anAbsa Top 10 Pinotage

award must rank as the single most

sought-after accolade for pinotage mak-

ers.

TheLouw familyhasbeenmakingwine

on Diemersdal for six generations. Com-

bining the best of the old and the new

worlds, with minimum intervention in

the cellar to conserve the prominent vari-

etal character in their classic wines, is

part of Diemersdals winning formula.

Stylistically, I thinkDurbanville gives

amodernexpression topinotage intense

red fruit character, velvety tannin struc-

tures and balance between fruit and

wood, said Etienne Louw, winemaker of

Altydgedacht.

Forme, the Altydgedacht 2011 already

showed its potential from fermentation.

If the picking pointwas right, then a large

part of the battle has been won. I followed

the philosophy of minimum winemaker

intervention, which in my cellar usually

sees the best wine made.

From our first Top 10, weve seen a

quadrupling in pinotage volume, there-

fore the value of this competition should

not be underestimated, he said.

According to Durbanville Hills cellar-

master, Martin Moore, having three out

of 10 winners from Durbanville wine val-

ley is a compliment to the local producers

belief in treating pinotage with a soft

touch and avoiding too much wood con-

tact.

The Absa Top 10 Pinotage competition

was launched in 1997 to increase aware-

ness of pinotage and to encourage wine-

making excellence in this local variety.

The other seven winners are Painted

Wolf Guillermo Pinotage 2009 (Swart-

land); Rijks Private Cellar Pinotage 2008

(Tulbagh); Simonsig Estate Redhill Pino-

tage 2010 (Stellenbosch); Spier 21 Gables

Die Kaapse Clivia-klub hou Vry-

dag 21 September en Saterdag 22

September sy jaarlikse skou in

Bellville.

Van hierdie plante en hul nasate

sal by die skou in die Bellville-bur-

gersentrum in Strandstraat, Bell-

ville, saam met honderde ander cli-

vias van bekende kwekers vertoon

word.

Clivias word vandag dwarsoor

die wreld gekweek, maar selfs

Suid-Afrikaners besef nie aldag

hierdie pragtige blomplante is en-

demies aan Suider-Afrika nie.

Pieter van der Merwe van die

klub s behalwe vir Swaziland, kom

clivias in die natuur net in enkele

gebiede in Suid-Afrika en nrens

anders ter wreld voor nie.

Hoewel clivias sporadies deur die

jaar blom, is die hoogtepunt van die

blomseisoen van Augustus tot Ok-

tober.

In die natuur dra al ses spesies in

die algemeen oranje of geel blom-

me, maar kwekers in Suid-Afrika

en verskeie an-

der lande het

deur teling en

kruisings prag-

tige nuwe plant-

en blomvorms in

n wye kleurver-

skeidenheid ge-

skep.

Een van hier-

die kwekers,

Mick Dower van

Kaapstad, het

oor baie jare n

groot bydrae ge-

lewer tot die ver-

edeling van cli-

vias. Hy is on-

langs oorlede en

sy versameling

uitsonderlike

plante is aan Babylonstoren naby

die Paarl verkoop waar dit nou

saam met ongeveer 9 000 ander cli-

vias besigtig kan word.

Baie van Mick se kruisings het

met die verloop van jare deel ge-

word van ander versamelings.

Die skou duur van 09:00 tot 17:00.

Toegang is R15. Plante en saad sal

te koop wees.
