S

ewe verdagtes, van wie vyf mans en

twee vroue, is binne net twee dae deur

speurders van die Brackenfell-polisie

vasgetrek vir die moord op die 33-jarige Jo-

han Asia van Kraaifontein.

Asia se liggaam is verlede Dinsdag om-

streeks 10:21 in n vlak graf op die ouEverite-

stofpad langs die Brackenfell-natuurtuin ge-

vind toe n inwoner van die Everite-hostelle

daar verby gestap het.

Sy het eers n groot bloedkol op die pad ge-

sien, waarna haar oog op die hoop sand n

meter van die pad geval het.

Net n gedeelte van die slagoffer se kop en

sy linkervoet het by die graf uitgesteek.

Bloed was glo nog sigbaar aan sy kop.

Die Brackenfell-polisie was vinnig op die

toneel, gevolg deur dieWes-Kaapse forensie-

se taakspan wat die misdaadtoneel vir die

volgende vyf uur noukeurig gefynkam het

vir bewysstukke.

Ondersoekbeamptes het bloedspatsels in

die veld aan die ander kant van die pad ge-

vind, sowel as n stuk pyp wat langs die oor-

ledene gel het.

Dit blyk ook dat die slagoffer sonder klere

vermoor is. Sy klere het in n hopie langs die

pad gel.

Familieledewat later diemiddag op die to-

neel opgedaag het, het hom aan sy klere uit-

geken.

Die oorledene se ontroosbarema het langs

die misdaadtoneel ineengestort en is byge-

staan deur n lid van die Brackenfell-polisie

se slagofferbystandeenheid.

Hoekomhet jullemykind hier komdood-

maak? het sy herhaaldelik gevra terwyl sy

bitterlik gehuil het.

Daar word vermoed dat die oorledene na

die stil pad gebring is om daar vermoor te

word.

Volgens ao. Erica Crous, woordvoerder by

Brackenfell-polisie, is hy met n onbekende

voorwerp teen die kop doodgeslaan. Hy is

daarna met n hoop sand toegegooi.

Die verdagtes van Northpine en Delft het

onderskeidelik Vrydag en Maandag in die

Bluedowns-landdroshof verskyn op aanklag

vanmoord.Hulleword tans aangehouby die

Pollsmoor-gevangenis tot enmet hul volgen-

de hofverskyning op 21 Junie, het Crous be-

vestig. Sy het bygevoeg dat die polisie die

borgaansoek gaan teenstaan.

Die motief van die moord is nog nie deur

polisie bekendgemaak nie.

Weens die sensitiewe aard van die onder-

soek kan die polisie nie tans die omstandig-

hede bekend maak wat gelei het tot die

moord nie, het Crous ges.

Die ondersoek duur voort.

women suspected of following a client

out of AbsaBankwith the intent to rob

him, were nabbed by police before

they could strike.

The client, whowas presumably followed

to Absa Bank at CapeGate last Tuesday

morning, became suspiciouswhen he noted

one of the suspects outside the bank doors.

He had seen the man watching him and

noted that he was communicating some-

thing via his cellphone, says Brackenfell

police spokesperson Warrant Officer Erica

Crous.

It was later discovered that the accom-

plice was in close proximity.

After leaving the bank he immediately

proceeded to a nearby restaurant where he

sat down at a table and contacted the Brack-

enfell police.

At that stage the one suspect had fol-

lowed him into the restaurant and took a

seat nearby, says Crous.

Minutes later, however, the suspect real-

ised that he was caught out and he and his

accomplice attempted to make a run for it.

Police and mall security were too quick

for themand apprehended thembefore they

could leave the mall, says Crous.

One of the men was arrested after it was

found that he had a warrant of arrest

against him from Bloemfontein police.

The other suspect was released as police

did not have enough cause to detain him,

as no crime had been committed.Incidents

of so-called bank-followings have increased

in recent years.

A following occurs when criminals iden-

tify people withdrawingmoney to rob them

outside the banks premises.

They usually loiter outside the bank and

contact an accomplice by cellphone after he

identified a target. The target is then fol-

lowed outside to be robbed.

Crous warns the public to be vigilant at

all times when visiting a bank or an ATM.

the armed robbery of a man in his parked

vehicle in Protea Heights last Tuesday

morning.

According to police spokesperson War-

rant Officer Erica Crous the man was

parked on the corners of Kruin Street and

At about 07:00, a white Toyota Corolla

with four men stopped next to his vehicle.

The occupants demanded cash.

When he did not respond, two of the

men, who had firearms, got out of the car

and smashed the window on the drivers

side. They tookhis cellphone, cash, laptop,

n

Nuwe tendens waarin diewe jou

voertuig se afstandbeheerder se fre-

kwensie stoor om later s toegang

tot jou motor te verkry, steek moontlik nou

kop uit in Durbanville.

Volgens Gerhard Fourie, voorsitter van

die subraad 7 (Koeberg), het hy sowat twee

weke gelede opWoensdag 18Mei doodseker

gemaak sy bakkie is gesluit toe hy om-

streeks 17:00 by die CobbleWalk-winkelsen-

trum stilgehouhet om te gaanwegneemetes

koop. Hy was skaars 20 minute weg en toe

hy terugkeer, het hy niks vermoed nie en

was daar geen teken van gedwonge toegang

nie.VolgensFourie het hy eers die volgende

oggend besef sy sak met sy skootrekenaar

is weg, nadat hy dit eers by die huis en toe

by sy kantoor gesoek het.

Ek het nie n ander keuse gehad as om

die sak in die kajuit van die bakkie te sit

nie. Die bakkie se ruite is ook getint; ek het

daarom gedink dis veilig, het hy ges. Die

rekenaarsak het op die agtersitplek gel.

Ekhet n gewoonte ommyvoertuig twee,

drie keer te sluit en onthou spesifiek dat ek

die ligte sien flikker het, het hy ges.

@dezzierorke

Inspired by the 1950s era with its music,

fashion and fun, patrons of the Daniel

and Friends Fund recently hosted a

womens morning in aid of the fund.

Held at Trikoris just outside Durban-

ville, the themeof themorning, YouBet-

ter ShapeUp, fittingly reflected themis-

sion of the organisation shaping socie-

tys perceptions of disability.

The Daniel and Friends Fund is a not-

for-profit organisation, initiated in 2013

to assist families of childrenwith special

needs.

Our mission is to provide informa-

tion, support and general assistance to

parents with special needs children and

to raise awareness for the disabled

child, says spokesperson Kate Laurie.

As guests arrived the mood was set

with the iconic movie Grease rolling in

the background, while the women en-

joyed each others strange 1950s hairdos

and outfits.

The morning was dedicated to one of

our Daniel and Friends moms, Justine

Quinn, a brave woman fighting breast

cancer.

Guest speaker Lauren Finnerty

shared her fitness tips and provided in-

sight into the benefits of healthy eating.

The beautiful Gildenhuys sisters then

entertained guests with their humour

andveryuseful styling andmake-up tips.

Michelle Ann (who is a fund ambassa-

dor) provided practical advice on what

clothes to buy and how to wear it, while

Sheree-lee put the finishing touches on

the presentation by means of make-up

dos and donts.

DrHelenMuir ended the eventwith an

informative talk on how environmental

and lifestyle factors trigger cancer.

Laurie says the morning was a great

success and the money raised will bene-

fit the families associated with the fund.

Volgens Gerhard Fourie, voorsitter van

die subraad 7 (Koeberg), het hy sowat twee

weke gelede opWoensdag 18Mei doodseker

gemaak sy bakkie is gesluit toe hy om-

streeks 17:00 by die CobbleWalk-winkelsen-

trum stilgehouhet om te gaanwegneemetes

koop. Hy was skaars 20 minute weg en toe

hy terugkeer, het hy niks vermoed nie en

was daar geen teken van gedwonge toegang

nie.VolgensFourie het hy eers die volgende

oggend besef sy sak met sy skootrekenaar

is weg, nadat hy dit eers by die huis en toe

by sy kantoor gesoek het.

Ek het nie n ander keuse gehad as om

die sak in die kajuit van die bakkie te sit

nie. Die bakkie se ruite is ook getint; ek het

daarom gedink dis veilig, het hy ges. Die

rekenaarsak het op die agtersitplek gel.

Ekhet n gewoonte ommyvoertuig twee,

drie keer te sluit en onthou spesifiek dat ek

die ligte sien flikker het, het hy ges.

In die sak was sy skootrekenaar, n krag-

Unplanned baby not disposable doll

DESIRE RORKE

@dezzierorke

L

ittle abandoned baby dolls were placed

around the Shoprite centre in Kraaifon-

tein onWednesday tomake the commu-

nity aware of child abandonment and the

prevention thereof.

It is estimated that around 3500 babies are

abandoned each year in South Africa.

This campaign forms part of the Choose

to Care initiative that focuses on crisis preg-

nancies in a bid tomakewomen aware of the

various alternatives for women experienc-

ing an unplanned pregnancy, says social

worker Albie Jackson

from Abba, a Bellville-

based adoption and social

services entity.

Every year, thousands

of women are faced with

the unexpected news that

they are pregnant. These

are most often teenagers,

but could just as easily be

a single mother of three

facinganunplannedpreg-

nancy. From that mo-

ment on, their lives are

changed forever.

In such a situation, a

young mother faces deci-

sions that need to bemade

and challenges to be met

at a time when she is feel-

ing emotionally confused

and overwhelmed at the

sudden change of direc-

tion her life is about to

take. In many instances a

teen will feel totally alone

and too inexperienced in

life to make such enor-

mous decisions.

Weneedyoungwomen

and their families in need

of help to know that there are people and or-

ganisations available to help them consider

all the options and decide on the best solu-

tion most cruciallyweneed to stem the tide

of child abandonments and the devastating

consequences that suchadecisionhason the

child and mother for the rest of their lives.

The Choose to Care campaign encourag-

es individuals, families, communities and

organisations to reconsider how they look at

their roles and responsibilities in just such

a situation and to take positive action, says

Jackson.

According tohim, statistics show that 30%

of South African teenagers have reported

having being pregnant and that most of

these pregnancies were unplanned.

She gave a number of causes for this,

which include so-called sugar daddies, igno-

rance of birth control, rape, not wanting to

use contraceptives to prove ones woman-

hood and healthcare workers refusing to

provide birth control solutions to young

women due to their traditional views on sex-

uality. Education is critical in order to pre-

vent such teenage pregnancies. These young

women have to realise that there is a role

for them in their society, over and above

motherhood, she says.

She says although statistics indicate that

awareness of adoption has increased, adop-

tion numbers are still declining, while child

abandonment appears to be increasing.

Thismeans credible informationas to op-

tions in a crisis pregnancy has to be brought

closer to communities. It will be done by lob-

bying of government and social institutions,

community engagement and the develop-

ment of a focused crisis pregnancy cam-

paign. Our objective is to createmore family

and community support for youngwomen to

prevent child abandonment and illegal abor-

tions through education and empowerment.

Weneed to provide information and solu-

DESIRE RORKE

@dezzierorke

O

ver 200 disabled residents could lose

their places in the Citys disabled

transport systemafter they refused to

undergo compulsory medical reassess-

ments.

They feel that these assessments done by

occupational therapists and paid for by tax-

payersmoney, are a blatant public wastage

that could bebetterused addressing the real

problem, namely a shortage of buses.

If you have been blind your whole life,

and have been classified as such, why now

be assessed?

It makes no sense.

When we applied we were already as-

sessed. Now we have to be assessed again

and every five years thereafter. Rather use

that money to procure more sorely needed

buses, says Luwie Links from Kraaifon-

tein.

Links, who is completely blind, is em-

ployed at the telecommunications depart-

ment at the Western Cape

Government complex in

town and has been using

this service to commute to

work from 2002.

He is also a member of a

forum that is rallying the

city for a better service

and disputing the new reg-

ulations.

Millions have been

spent and are still being

spent to roll out the MyCi-

Ti buses across Cape

Town, while very little is

invested to the Dial-a-Ride

service we as disabled peo-

ple have become complete-

ly dependant on, he says.

On Thursday 28 April,

the members of the Dial-a-

Ride users forum, who dis-

pute the new regulations

which include the medical

assessments, marched to

the office of Helen Zille,

premier of the Western

Cape, where a memoran-

dum was handed over.

In this memorandum

they stated that there was

an urgent need for more

buses for the Dial-a-Ride

system that reduced their

buses from 34 to 21without

considering the impact it

will have on daily users.

More than half of the

disabled commuters ar-

rive late at work every

day. And by this I dont

mean five or ten minutes late they are

hours late, he said in an interview with

TygerBurger.

He attributes this problem to the fact that

the fewer, albeit bigger, vehicles have to

make more trips, thus causing long delays.

They pick me up at 05:20 and from there

travel to Kuils River and then to the City.

After dropping us off at about 07:15, they

leave for Atlantis and other distant regions

to fetch a second load of commuters.

These commuters only get to work as late

as 11:30.

When the project started in 1999 they had

34 vehicleswhich, according toLinks, could

transport six passengers of whom three

were in wheelchairs.

Today, after contracting anewcompany,

they use only 21 vehicles that can transport

more people five in wheelchairs and three

others. The problem is the bus has to stop

atmore homes causingmany commuters to

be late, he says.

Passengers are forced to spendmore than

two hours in the bus while drivers are not

allowed to stop along the routes for passen-

gers to use the bathroom.

Apart from this there are still thousands

of people including school children on

a waiting list, and we want to know what

the City is going to do about this?

The forumdemanded to be included in fu-

ture decision making of their transport.

Surely the input of a disabled person is

needed when making decisions that affect

their lives?

We stated all our concerns, but to this

day it seems that we are being ignored.

Links alleges that the introduction of as-

sessments is only sidetracking fromthe real

issue a shortage of vehicles, something the

City vehemently denies.

The Dial-a-Ride service has a limited

budget and therefore a limited capacity.

Given these constraints, the service is for

the exclusive use by those who have been

assessed by an occupational therapist as be-

ing unable to access conventional public

transport services, says Mayco member

for transport, Brett Herron, explaining the

reason for the compulsory reassessment

project launched in 2014.

Wehave tomake sure that thosewho are

on the service are in fact unable tomakeuse

of regular public transport. In the end the

Dial-a-Ride service will provide mobility

only for thosewho are assessed as not being

able to use public transport, including the

universally accessible MyCiTi service.

TheMyCiTi system isdesigned tobeuni-

versally accessible thismeans theMyCiTi

service is provided for both able-bodied

commuters and those with special needs.

Stations and stops are designed for the visu-

ally impaired. As the MyCiTi service ex-

pands its footprint, bringing universally ac-

cessible public transport to more and more

people, so the total dependency on Dial-a-

Ride for mobility will be reduced and elimi-

nated for many eligible Dial-a-Ride users,

he says.

According to Herron the service is subsi-

dised in part by the Western Cape Govern-

ment.

Because of budget limits, funds have to

be spent as wisely and efficiently as possi-

ble, and in a way that allows us to provide

a transport service to asmany eligible users

possible, he says.

We try, within ourmeans, to assist those

residents who cannot make use of conven-

tional public transport services.

Herron says the majority of the current

users complied with the reassessment re-

quirement, safe for 170 people who refused

the assessment. They are part of the group

who protested against the service on Thurs-

day 28 April.

He added they will investigate all com-

plaints.

V DialARide users can report complaints to the

Transport Information Centre on 0800 65 64 63.

Complainants will be issued with a reference num

ber and will receive feedback once the complaint

has been investigated.

New testsmake no

sense, say disabled

Louis Links with his guidedog Disney. With the Citys new

regulations for its disabled transport system, he risks losing his

daily transport. FOTO: DESIRE RORKE

LEWENSKIEKIE

Droomdorp

aan skerwe

toe alarm loei

Twee dinge het my dadelik opgeval toe ek

die dorp binnery. Eerstens was die strate

en sypaadjies so skoon dat dit in die

sonlig geglimmer het nie n papiertjie,

kartonhouer, bottel of Checkerssak in sig

nie.

Tweedens het die taxi-bestuurders so

ordentlik gery soos motors in n begraf-

nisstoet, ook getrou by verkeersligte

gestop en nie passasiers in die middel

van die straat afgelaai nie.

Ek het n draai deur die woonbuurte

gery. Daar was geen ho mure om die

huise nie, ook nie diefwering voor die

vensters nie. n Paar voordeure het

oopgestaan en die kinders se fietse en

speelgoed het oral op die grasperke gel.

My ingebore nuuskierigheid het my by

die stadsklerk uitgebring, wat ooglopend

trots was op sy dorp. Hiers geen

misdaad nie. Elf jaar gelede was daar wel

n winkeldiefstal toe n pen by die

skryfbehoeftewinkel gegaps is, maar ons

vermoed dit was n

besoeker aan die

dorp. Ons polisie-

kantoor, verkeers-

departement en

landdroshof het n

dekade gelede al

hul deure gesluit.

Hul dienste was

oorbodig, het hy

vertel.

Dit het amper te

goed geklink om

waar te wees!

Ek was verbete

om n swak plek in

die dorp se monde-

ring te kry en het by die skoolhoof n

draai gaan maak.

Ons matrieks presteer die beste in die

land, het hy ges. Ons het hoogs

opgeleide onderwysers en klein klasse

waar elke kind individuele aandag in sy

moedertaal ontvang. Hyt vorentoe

geleun en vertroulik gefluister: Maar die

eintlike geheim vir ons sukses is dat die

kinders hier sonder enige stres opgroei.

N my onderhoude was ek dors en wou

ek n koeldrank by n groot kruideniers-

ware-winkel gaan koop. Die betaalpunte

daar was onbeman. Ekt die geld vir my

blikkie Coke in n gleuf gegooi, waarna n

elektroniese stem my beleefd bedank het.

Dit was ook opvallend hoe vriendelik

die klante in die winkel was. Hulle het

my met bre glimlagte gegroet.

Toe ek uitstap, het ek opgemerk hul

geparkeerde karre het almal sleutels in.

Ek het wakker geskrik van die skril

geloei van my huisalarm ... en besef dit

was net n droom.

Terwyl ek glas iewers in die huis hoor

breek het en ek die polisie naarstig op

my selfoon gebel het, het ek gewonder of

drome waar kan word. Rudie van

Rensburg.

verstaan niemand die rede daarvoor nie.

Dis vir mense in rystoele, want jy kan nie

jou stoel langs jou kar inkry in n gewone

parkeerplek nie! Dis hoekom die parkeer-

ruimte wyer is. As jy vir n halfuur of uur

Once an alien, always an alien.

There is always the talk about

the Rainbow Nation. We

certainly have all the colours,

races and nations to match,

but we are lacking the glue

to join them together.

Cape Town has been named

the friendly city. I dont

know who made that comment,

but it was not somebody who

tried to settle in Cape Town.

People in the Cape are very

friendly to money spending

tourists, as long as they do not

try to settle here. The locals

are friendly but aloof, even

calling you a new friend when

meeting you somewhere, but

dont try to invade their sticky,

clicky circles.

This has nothing to do with

the colour of your skin, or

from what other country in

Africa or Europa you are from,

or even if youre just coming

from Joburg, or if you are

poor, rich, old or young, single

or a couple.

I have met and spoken to a

few of them and at times I

thought there was something

wrong with me. Sad but true.

wat ek hoor, verkoop die

selfoonmaatskappye op groot

skaal verbruikers se selfoon-

hulself te verryk.

CURE IRRESPONSIBILITY

De Bron

Rules of the road:

punish transgressors

Dit is vir my betreurenswaar-

dig hoe daar vandag leuens

vertel word. Die kinders is nog

klein, maar vertel al leuens.

Ek het my les al kleintyd

geleer: vertel die waarheid, al

kom daar n straf. Een of ander

tyd sal die waarheid uitkom en

dan is die straf groter. Leer die

kinders dalk by hul die ouers

om leuens te vertel?

Dit is vir my so sleg dat een

van ons gewildste sepies die

mense so leer om te jok. Is

hierdie sepie nie n gesinspro-

gram nie? Ek kyk nie meer

daarna nie, want dit druis in

teen my geloof en Bybelse

waardes. Dan hoor jy soveel

male: ag, dit is net n wit

leuentjie.

n Leuen is n leuen en sal

nie ongestraf bly nie.

Dit kom elke dag meer en

meer voor. Is dit dan nie deel

van ons doopbeloftes dat ons

ons kinders sal probeer opvoed

met die hulp van God nie?

Vergeet ons dat ons hierdie

belofte afgel het en God ons

altyd verantwoordelik sal hou?

Ek kry baie te doen met

ouers en kinders en kom dit al

hoe meer agter.

Iemand het eendag ges jy

kan my enigiets vertel, maar

moenie my intelligensie onder-

skat nie.

Sonder om te blik of te bloos

word leuens vertel en dan lyk

dit of die mense hulself glo.
