Twee jaargeledekonMarchelleHendricksnieeersgaringdeur’nnaaldsteeknie.Van-dag het sy ’n klein volhoubare besigheiddeur haar nuut aangeleerde naaldwerk-vaardighede.
Die 38-jaar-ouema van drie van Sir Lowry’sPass het besluit om te leer naaldwerk doen na-dat sy ’n lewensvaardigheidkursus by die SirLowry’s Pass Community Empowerment Pro-ject voltooi het.Die kursus het gefokus op die verhouding
tussen ouers en kinders, maar het ook die be-hoefte raakgesien om ander vaardighede teontwikkel, vertel die projek-koördineerder,Welna Jonker. Een van die kursussewat hulleaanbied is naaldwerk.“Ek kon glad nie naaldwerk doen nie, en
moes alles leer!” sê Marchelle.Marchelle het vinnig geleer en het gou kus-
singoortreksels, kussings en tafeldoeke ont-werp. “Toe ek sien wat ek als kan maak, hetekbegindinkaangeldmaakmetdie goedjies.”Marchelle doen verstelwerk en maak ook
kussings, handsakke en tafelkleedjies.Met Welna se hulp word Marchelle se werk
bemark by dieweekliksemarkwat onlangs by
die Mount Rozier-landgoed begin is, maarmeeste van haar bestellings kom van mensewat aan ander mense vertel van die items watsy by uitstallings en kerkbasaars aanbied.Dié klein besigheid het haar lewe verander,
sêMarchelle. Sy en haar familie het voorheenin ’n klein wendyhuis gebly, maar vandat syhaar produkte begin verkoop het, kon sy tweekamers by haar huis aanbou.Sy voeg by dat die waarde wat dit tot haar
lewe bygedra het nie net geldelik is nie. Sy hethaar familie en diegene rondom haar inspi-reer, maar ook haar eiewaarde ontdek. Mar-chelle gaan nou ook haar jongste dogter, Meli-cia, leer hoe om die handsakke te maak.“Ek wil hê vroue moet sien dat ’n mens nie
ledighoefrondtesitnie.Ditkos ’nbietjietoege-wydheid en geduld,maar jy kan ook iets doen.“In vyf jaar sien ek myself as ’n suksesvolle
besigheidsvrou . . . My doel en visie is ommeerwerkvir ander te skep.Ekwil vroueaan-moedig en laat besef dat daar iets in ’n mensse hande is waarvan ’n mens onbewus is.”Die gemeenskapsbemagtiging-projek het al
sowat 20 vroue opgelei in naaldwerkvaardig-hede en bykans nog 50 in bak en kook.Vir meer inligting oor die projek, bel Welna
Jonker by 082 827 7705 ofMarchelle Hendricksby 078 140 7651.

Protest against renting homesNICOLE MCCAIN
Lourensia Park residents are sign-ing a petition to express their un-happiness with homeowners whoare renting out their houses.
A group of disgruntled residentsgathered inprotest lastweekMonday.Joyce Mzamo, chairperson of the
beneficiary committee at LourensiaPark, said the community gathered toprotest against a homeowner who al-legedly owns a house in Strand and isrenting outherLourensiaParkhome.“Whydidsomeoneapply forahouse
if they already have one?” asked oneof the protesters, who requested to re-main anonymous. “We moved in ayearago,andthehousehasstoodemp-ty this whole time. These people don’tneed houses, and there are so manypeople who do need homes.”Residents protested in September
over another home that has been let.Bruce Oom, spokesperson for
Bonginkosi Madikizela, the WesternCape MEC for Human Settlements,said: “Whenpeople are considered forhouses, we try and make sure thatthey are the people who most needhouses.”Applications are run through the
HousingSubsidySystem, anationallylinked systemwhich verifieswhetheror not the applicant has ever owned
a property, current-ly owns a propertyor has previouslyreceived a subsidy.“If theyregisterpos-itive on any of theabove, they are noteligible for a subsi-dy.” However, hesaid a beneficiarycould unofficiallyown a property notregistered in theirname, or for whichthey have not re-ceived a subsidy.Lourensia Park
residents claimthey signed anagreement with theCity of Cape Townthat the homeowners would not be al-lowedtorentouttheirproperty.Whilethe city could not confirm this, Coun-cillor Ernest Sonnenberg, the city’sMayoral Committee Member for Hu-manSettlements, said thecity’shandsare tied. “TheCity of CapeTown’sHu-man Settlements Directorate suppor-ted the Lourensia Park community’ssuggestion thatpropertynotberentedout. However, this is not a legal re-quirement as national government al-lows for the possibility of rental.”Oom said: “One of the difficulties
faced is that when a property is given
to a beneficiary, then it’s really theirstodowithas theyplease. It’sverydiffi-cult to stop them from renting outtheir properties.”Residents cannot legally sell their
properties within eight years, butthey are allowed to rent out the pro-perty. “While the government makesevery effort to ensure that the rightpeople get houses, some beneficiariesdo end up renting out their houses inorder to create an income stream, orfor other reasons,” Oom said.The petition will be signed and sent
to local government this week.

With the festive season upon us,Helderberg residentswill be spend-ingmore on gifts and holidays. TheGazette spoke to readers aboutwhat they splash out on during thesilly season.

Thomas Mehlomakulu of Nom-zamo saves up in anticipationof festive season spending. “Iput away money every month,but only spend around R500more than usual. I buy clothesandgifts formy family, but don’tgo away or throw parties.”
“I spend much more money in Decem-ber,” says Gibson Masara. “But I earn itfrom my work making beaded decora-tions. People request orders closer toChristmas. I spend the money on family,buying things for Christmas, and stockingup on books for school in January.”
Shireen Wanza sê sy probeer omnie te veel te spandeer in Desem-ber nie. “Ek doen casual werk, enkry my vakansie geld nou. Ek ver-dien nie genoeg om te spaar nie.Ons koop net kos, en so hier endaar ’n luxury.”
Beaulah Mativenga from Strandsays her festive spending is tiedto how well her business does. “Ihave my own business, and thisyear it is a little slow. I alwaysspendmore in December, on foodand clothes. You have to spoilyourself.”
“Ek spandeer baie in Desem-ber,” sê Zaida Duminy van Gor-donsbaai. My familie vier Kers-fees en ek moet geskenkekoop, en ons gaan weg. Ek komuit op my salaris, maar probeerspaar waar ek kan.”

Who gives Department of LabourWho gives Department of Labourthe right to enter my home?the right to enter my home?My letter is in response to thearticle titled “Domestic workersto get wage increases” publishedin the Helderberg Gazette of 27November.
I have some problems with thespot inspections of the labour de-partment.
Do they assume the power toinspect my house?
In a democratic society suchpowers are granted only to thepolice on probable cause, and tothe law courts to order such in-spection.
If the department, however,would concentrate on theirmathematics principles under-
lying the released figures first,the learning process wouldcome to embrace the Constitu-tion eventually.
In the meantime, the depart-ment is forbidden to do such spot(house) inspections.
This might fall under “break-ing and entering”!

‘Arson’: families left homelessNICOLE MCCAIN
The almost 40 people displaced in afire in Pholile Park have started torebuild their homes, but they havelittle justice to comfort them.
Almost 20 informal homes wereturned to ashes in the fire that brokeout on Saturday 1 December at about23:38.
Lwandle police spokesperson, Con-stable Mthokozisi Gama, said a man sethis girlfriend’s home alight after theyhad an argument. He then fled thescene, and the fire quickly spread to theneighbouring houses.
Pholile Park resident SiphiweMfadu, said he was asleep in his home,along with his wife and two children,aged 9 and 12, at the time.
He was woken by frantic screams ofpeople, and found the area around himin flames. The fire brigade and policesoon arrived on the scene.
TheoLayne,spokespersonfortheCityofCapeTown’s Fire and Rescue Services said it tookfirefighters an hour and a half to extinguish theblaze.
However, by then the neighbouring familieshad lost everything. “My house was burnt to
ashes,” said Mfadu. “I lost everything. I’m un-employed, and I have two children to care for.”
Mfadu is currently rebuilding his home withonly the emergency kit provided by the City’sDisaster Risk Management.
Gama says this is the fourth case of arson in
the last six months. According to Gama this isthe only case where the suspect is still at largeand an arrest has not been made. Gama says aninvestigation is under way, and anyone with in-formation can phone the Lwandle Police at 0218452060.Donationsforthefamiliesarewelcome.
The charred remains of the homes destroyed by a fire in Pholile Park.
Page Boikanyo, spokesper-son for the Department of La-bour responds: “The inspec-torate of the department isauthorised by law to conductinspections in the domesticsectoral determination”.

Die 22-jarige bedryf sowat ’njaar reeds ’n gimnasium, Gino’sGym, vanaf sy huis by die F-woon-stelle.“Ek glo dat ek, met my gimnasi-
um, ’n bydrae in my gemeenskapmaak.“Jongmense kan hul eerder be-
sig hou met iets positief soos omna ’n gesonde leefstyl te streefpleks van betrokke te raak by ne-gatiewe invloede soos dwelmmis-bruik,” meen Eugene.Eugene sê hy het sy passie om
fiks te bly aangeleer toe hy as sen-ter vir rugbyklubs soosMacassar-en St. Georges gespeel het. Sywerksure het hom egter weerhouom met die sport vol te hou endaarom het hy besluit om sy eiegimnasium by die huis te begin.Tans, sê hy, het die gim sowat
doen, en ek sien elke dag uit naons oefensessies. Mense moet eg-ter ernstig oor hul fiksheid weesas hul by die gim wil aansluit, ennie slegs ’n paar keer kom en danopgee nie,” waarsku Eugene.Die groep oefen Maandae tot
Vrydae vanaf 17:30 tot 19:00.Belangstellendes kan Eugene
