Evictees to be relocated in Macassar next yearJAMEY GORDON
TheLwandle-evicteeswill tempo-rarily return to the land theywereevicted fromandwillbeper-manently relocated to Macassarnext year.
This is the long-term solution pro-vided by the City of Cape Town andshared with the evictees during apublic meeting at the Nomzamocommunity hall on Thursday 13June.
According to Ward 85 CouncillorMbuyiselo Matha, the evictees re-ceived the news very well and werepositive about resettling on the landbelonging to Sanral (South AfricanNational Roads Agency Limited)where almost 900 illegal occupantswere evicted on Monday (2 June)and Tuesday (3 June).The residentswere to be relocated
to Sanral-owned land in Blackheathon Monday (9 June). The residentswere transported by taxi to the par-cel of land where their new homes
were to be erected.However, theirhopeofnewhomes
soon faded when they were met bydisgruntled members of the Black-heath community not in favour ofthe relocation.Furthermore, a media statement
released by theCity onMonday stat-ed that re-zoning approval and anenvironmental assessment needs tobe complied before the evictees aremoved to the Sanral land.Upon the residents’ return to the
eviction site in Asanda Village
– whichMatha suspects will be ear-ly this week – the City will provideemergency housing kits and 849structures (each six by three me-tres) will be rebuilt for them by San-ral.The material provided for the
erection of the homes include poles,galvanised corrugated steel roofsheets, a door, a window and nails.The City will also provide 45
chemical toilets that will be re-placed by full flush toilets withintwo months, as well as water stand-
pipes. In terms of the availabilityof electricity, the Housing Develop-ment Agency will consult with Es-kom regarding the provision there-of.Theevictees, aswell asbeneficiar-
ies fromSolisTown,Greenfields,Po-lile, Wag ’n Bietjie and Macassarbackyarderswill receive individualservicedsites (water, sanitationandelectricity) as part of the new hous-ing project in Macassar.The first sites will be ready for oc-
cupation by November 2015.

How to avoid hijackingIn light of the series of hijacking that havetaken place in the Helderberg recently, theHelderberg Gazette spoke to the Strand Po-lice to establish what motorists can do tominimise the risk of being hijacked.
Nireshni Joseph, spokesperson for theStrand Police, had the following advice formotorists:
)Avoid stopping in remote places, saidJoseph, and always make sure to park yourvehicle in well-lit areas.
)Joseph added that if a stranger approa-ches your vehicle and wants to talk to youwhile you are inside your vehicle, do notopen the window more than 5cm. This isenough space to have a conversation andto avoid being attacked.
)If you feel that something looks suspi-cious, rather be rude and drive away thanengagewiththeperson/people.Avoidtalk-ing to strangers.
)Try to limit your trips at night andwhere possible, try to take someone along-with you.
)If possible, vary your daily travel rou-tes as this is a wise way to avoid havingcriminals knowing your routine.
)Hijackers might stage a minor acci-dent so they can get your attention and ap-proach your car, said Joseph. Always be
warywhenassistingbrokendownvehiclesor car accident victims. Phone the policefirst.
)Joseph stressed that “your life is morevaluable than your possessions, do not re-sist, especially if the thief has a weapon.”
)A lift club limits the risk of becominga victim of a hijacking. Criminals are lesslikely to attack a motorist when there arepassengers in the car.
)Joseph advises residents not to givestrangers a lift.
)A gear lock is an affordable and a veryeffective anti-theft device,” said Joseph.
)If possible, put a mirror up on the frontwall of your garage to see if someone is fol-lowing you into the garage, suggests Jo-seph.
)Do not open your garage doors beforeyour gates are closed behind you.
)Always store luggage and other valua-bles in the boot of the car, where they areout of sight and not visible in the car.
)Never leave keys in your car’s ignitionand always lock your doors and close yourwindows when getting out of your vehicle,even if you will be away for a short while.
)Always have your keys ready in yourhand as you approach your car, especiallyif they are difficult to find.

mustn’t tell anybody that,” she told thechild firmly.Thatwasit. Iknewwhatwashappen-
ing, and what the child was trying tocommunicate to her mother, her pro-tector.I got myself together as quickly as
possible and planned to catch the pairbefore they left the bathroom.Needless to say, as I burst out of the
bathroom, I could not see any motherand child anywhere in the shoppingcentre. I walked around for ages, look-ing foranyonewhomatchedwhat Ihadheard. But I found no one.It is a crime in South Africa to not
report child abuse of any form if youknow about it.If youare ever approachedbya child
who tries to confide inyouabout some-thing that has happened to them, takethemseriously and report it as quicklyas you can to your nearest police sta-tion. As adults it is our responsibilityto protect our youth, the leaders of to-morrow, from harm.

Oasis-opleidingsentrum gaan van krag tot kragDELIAH BRINKHUIS
Bettie Benardo van Gordonsbaaiisbaietrotsophaaronlangsekwa-lifikasie as tuisversorger.
Op 57-jarige ouderdom meen sy datmense nie ouderdom as ’n struikel-blok moet sien nie.
AuntieBettieverteldatsyvirmeeras drie dekades as huiswerker ge-werk het.
Toe haar werkgewer ouer word enmet sy gesondheid wat agteruit ge-gaan het, het hy meer gespesialiseer-de aandag benodig.
Volgens haar het suster Karin Wi-id, die matrone by Bridgewater Ma-norwaarsy indienswas,haaraange-moedig om haar kennis te verbreeden ’n kursus te voltooi.
“Ek het die verpleeg-uniform ge-had, maar nog nie soos een gevoelnie,” vertel sy laggend.
Sy het by die Oasis Opleidingsen-trum in Strand gaan aanklop en virdie drie-maande tuisversorgerskur-sus ingeskryf.
Nóú, sê Auntie Bettie, hoef sy virniemand terug te staan nie.
Sy het slegs lof vir dié sentrum watsy sê, “ ’n nuwe toekoms vir haar oop-gemaak het.”
Die Oasis Opleidingsentrum hetsedert sy ontstaan in Februarie ver-lede jaar ongelooflike groei getoon.
Volgens Leslie August, direkteurvan die sentrum, is die sentrum aan-vanklik begin met die hoop op ’n ver-pleegskool. August sê dat om akkre-ditasie vir hierdie tipe opleidingsen-trumstekry,egterlangergeneemhetas wat hulle gehoop het. Maar, dit hethulle nie ontmoedig nie, en hulle hetvoortgegaan om kursusse in tuisver-
sorging aan te bied.Die sentrum het
hierna ook die Oa-sis Caring-pro-gram geloods om teverseker dat diéstudente wel ’nwerk het met vol-tooiing van die kur-sus.
Leslie se vrou enmede-direkteur,Tessia, wat ook dieopleidingshoof vandie sentrum is, isingenome oor diegroot meerderheidvan hul studentewat by privaat in-stansiessoosdieLi-vewell Suites ge-plaas word.
Tessia verteltrotsdatdaarsowat600 studente, asook80 tuisversorgersvan die Masciceda-ne-projek, sedert hul ontstaan diétuisversorgingskursus voltooi het.
Die studente word ook blootgestelaan gemeenskapsprojekte waar hul-le gratis diens, soos voetsorg enbloeddruktoetse, aan veral bejaar-des bied.
Tessia is van mening dat dit ookbelangrik is om in die gemeenskapterug te ploeg, en dit doen hulle deurtwee studente se studies per jaar teborg.
Die bestuur is opgewonde oor diebesoek van verteenwoordigers vandie Raad van Verpleging verledemaand, wat die bal aan die rol gesithet vir hulle finale goedkeuring virakkreditasie vir die Oasis-verpleeg-
skool.Tessia erken dat daar ’n groot nood
is vir manlike verpleërs omdat baiemanspasiënte verkies om deur hulleversorg te word. Dis egter belangrik,sê sy, dat mense ’n passie het om metpasiënte te wíl werk.
Die bestuur hoop om teen Septem-ber hierdie jaar akkreditasie vir dieverpleegskool te ontvang, waarnadie skool in Januarie sal open.
Die studente is opgewonde oor dieverpleegskool, en daar is reeds ’nwaglys vir aspirantverpleërs.

Heidi and Hali, an unexpected gift and blessingCASSY VAN EEDEN
“No, I won’t give up. I’m here tostay and make the difference thatI can make.”
These are the lyrics of SomersetWest resident Heidi Naude’s favour-ite song.Heidi’s name is synonomous in the
Helderberg Gazette as being a trusteefor the Hali Trust, a community out-reach organisation in the Helder-berg. So Helderberg Gazette decidedtogetunderherskinandfindoutwhothe lady in the neon green t-shirt is.Heidi moved to the Western Cape
from Namibia - where she grew up -when she was 18, to pursue her stud-ies in clothing and food. Soon after-wards she met her husband Martin,and after six years of dating weremarried and together decided that
Heidi’s full-time job would be a stay-at-home mother for their children.Andso,whenpregnantwiththeirsec-ond child, Heidi left her career in thecatering industry to look after theirchildren.Whilst pregnant with their second
child “our miracle,” she called him,Heidi became dangerously ill with avirus that could have been lethal forherbaby.“WearesoluckythatJanielwasonlyborndeaf inoneearandthatthat is all that was wrong with him,”Heidi said.As her children began to grow up
Heidi prayed that she would be ableto find a job so that she could “dosomething to earn a little bit of mon-ey.” And sure enough, she was em-ployed by a toy company for twoyears.Heidi describes these two years as
“the last puzzle piece ofmy life being
put together.”It was during
these two yearsthatshe“realisedthe massive im-pact that itemssuch as mascotscan have on chil-drenandtheired-ucational devel-opment,” shesaid.When her fa-
ther passed awayin2008,Heidiwasfortunateenoughto inherit somemoney.It was then that she and her hus-
band came up with the idea of start-ing a trust. Not long after that, Heidihad amascot designed andmanufac-tured and the Hali Trust was born.
A close friend ofHeidi’s - who alsochose the namesof her children -came up with thenameHali for themascotbecause itmeant “unex-pected gift andblessing,” whichisnowtheorgani-sation’s slogan.Heidi could not
have began to im-agine the pro-found impactthatHali themas-
cot would have on the communitiesthat she works with.Her face beams with pride as she
talks about all the children that cameforward and told someone that theywere being abused, after attending
the talks that Hali gives in variouscommunitiesaboutsexualandphysi-cal abuse.“Hali Trust gave me an identity,”
saidHeidi, “it gaveme a purpose. It’shere,” she said as she puts her handover her heart.Although both Heidi and Hali
Trust have faced endless obstaclessince its formation,Heidi is adamantthat nothing will stop her from giv-ing, “I won’t give up,” she said, “I’llnever give up.”Readers can support theHali Trust
by making donations to the massivedrive thatwill beheld inJulyatEnvyHair Design in Strand.They will be collecting clothes, ba-
by items, non-perishable food, basictoiletries and dog and cat food,scarves and beanies.Formore information, contactHei-
di Naude on 082 339 6876.
Heidi Naude, founder and director of theHali Trust, said that it all began when sherealised the impact that amascot can havein communities through education. HereHeidi is pictured with mascot Hali.
