Nahla, a beloved pet cat from Diep Riverthat was allegedly shot by a neighbour,
has been found alive.But she was found “in a very bad state”two weeks after the shooting.She was found hiding in the kitchen of aschool near her home last Wednesday.It is believed Wayne Cleinwerck’s cat ranto the school after she was shot. Someonefound her there and nursed her before shewas taken to a vet, where she still is.The neighbour who allegedly shot herwith an air rifle in their communal garden,Antonie Gericke, has already made his firstcourt appearance on charges of animal cru-elty after Nahla’s owners opened a caseagainst him (“‘Cat shooter’ in court”, Peo-ple’s Post, 9 February).Nahla has to undergo an operation be-cause the bullet is still lodged in her body(very close to her heart) and she has torn aligament.Bliqees Masoet, Cleinwerck’s partner,says: “We are happy, but she is in a very badstate and she needs to go for an operation
which costs a lot of money. She has lost somuch weight. We have a lot on our platenow.”Stella Ramage, Masoet’s neighbour, saysthey are over the moon that Nahla has beenfound.“They are happy, but the challenge now isto pay for the operation. Someone foundNahla and looked after her and took her toa vet. We are grateful to all the people whowere involved to make sure that she wasfound,” she says.Belinda Abraham of the Good Hope SPCAsays it’swonderful news thatNahlahasbeenfound.“The family has said they don’t have themoney for an operation for Nahla. An SPCAvet is in touch with the vet where Nahla isat themoment andwill see what can be donefor her.“Although Nahla has been found, Gerickeis still facing charges of animal cruelty,”says Abraham.Gericke is expected back inWynbergMag-istrate’s Court on Tuesday 1 March.
Nahla, the pet cat which was allegedly shotby a neighbour, has been found alive.
FROM PAGE 1At the moment there are 24 LNOCs acrossCape Town.Brunette has no doubt that it’s going towork in her ward as well and reduce thenumber of people on the streets.“I asked for it because we have so manypeople on the streets. You see themhangingaround the CBD and outside restaurants.This route is very busy and a lot of peoplegoing to Hout Bay, Wynberg or Cape Townpass by here. They give food and money tothe street people, hencewe have seen an in-crease in the number of people on thestreets. When others buy their food they al-so buy for their favourite street person andthis has resulted in a number of people onthe streets because of the support [they get].“With people on the streets there is a lotof rubbish around, faeces, used condoms.It’s a mess.“We can’t blame them, it’s very difficult,that’s why we are calling on people to jointhe LNOC so that we may solve this prob-lem together.“Maybe some of them need help to goback to their families, maybe others needto beat the drug habit so that they go backhome. With others maybe they need a jobso that they can afford paying their rentand buy food so that they are not on thestreets.“I’mhopeful that this is going to solve theproblem that we have,” says Brunette.Those who want to get more insight intothe LNOC and becomemembers can attendameeting at Church onMain in Constantiaon Thursday 17 March at 14:00.

The City of Cape Town has stepped in to issue licence disc renewal reminders. Vehicle ownerswill now be receiving renewal notices from the City rather than from national agencies as theydid previously.
This will reduce the inconvenience suffered over the past months which has been brought onby the failure of national government agencies to fulfil their responsibilities and which has putthe brakes on the issuing of renewal notices.
The National Department of Transport has not completed the transfer of the Electronic NationalTraffic Information System (eNaTIS) to the Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC). Theyare not sending out renewal notices and they are unable to supply the City with more eNaTISterminals to enable us to increase our service capacity at our municipal offices.
Other City interventions to date include:• serving clients before the official opening time of our offices of 08:00 where possible• remaining open until the last person in the queue has been attended to• having staff work overtime to increase the capacity to serve customers• redeploying staff to hotspots across the metro
Customers are also encouraged to apply for their vehicle licence online by visitingwww.capetown.gov.za/eservices.
National government regulations now require proof of residence when applying for a licencerenewal. So please don’t forget to bring your ID and, if possible, please make copies of your IDand proof of residence as this will reduce the time spent at our municipal centres.
For a full list of acceptable documents that constitute proof, residents can visit the WesternCape Government website: www.westerncape.gov.za/tpw
Much respect forkeeper of orderin ParliamentTIYESE JERANJI
@jeranji
Friends and family paid their last respectsto Godfrey Cleinwerck (70), the first Ser-
jeant-at-Arms of Parliament in democraticSouth Africa.Cleinwerck, fromDiep River, died of can-
cer on 4 February.His memorial service was held at All
SaintsChurch inPlumstead and the churchwas filled to capacity. Thosewho took to thepodium reminisced about the good timesthey had with Cleinwerck, at work and athome. Most said theywould remember himfor his love for hisfamily, his love ofhelping other peopleand his love for ani-mals.Eastric Brikkles, a
long-time friend ofCleinwerck, said hehad fond memories.“We didn’t have
any siblings, so wegrew up as siblings.We did everything to-gether. We developeda bond which neverfiltered, not even asingle day, but lastedfor 70 years. Thoughwe got old we made it a point that we meetnow and again and talk about the goodtimes.“He will be remembered as a passionate
person. He was someone who loved peopleand thiswas shown by his numerous phonecalls when it’s your birthday or anniversa-ry. This is what most of us will miss themost about him.“He taughtme, and I believemany others
as well, that family bonds are importantand respect and loyalty go a long way. Heloved talking to people he knew. Those hemet for the first time, he really made themfeel welcome and comfortable.“His passion for animalswas undeniable.
He helped those orphaned and those thatwere in need of a loving home. We comfortourselves with the fact that he reallyshowed us his love,” said Brikkles.During his time as the Serjeant-at-Arms
he carried the mace, which is just over 1mlong and made of 18-carat gold, springbokskin, diamonds and platinum, on his shoul-der.He announced President Nelson Man-
dela’s first entry into the National Assem-bly Chamber in 1994 and in 1999 he againannounced his procession out of the Cham-ber upon his retirement. He has also an-nounced the entrance of all the presidentswho followed after Mandela.The Serjeant-at-Arms is also the authori-
ty of the Speaker of theHouse. Cleinwerck’snicknamewas “the bouncer of the National
Assembly”, as he wascalled to escort Mem-bers of Parliamentwhen they were or-dered to leave theChamber during a sit-ting.Cleinwerck was the
founder of the SA Ser-jeant-at-Arms Associ-ation. As a foundingmember of the Com-monwealth Associa-tion of Serjeant-at-Arms for Africa hewas elected chairper-son in 2000. He was al-so invited to attendnumerous serjeant-at-arms conferences in
the United Kingdom, Australia, Kenya andGhana, where he represented Parliament.Regina Mhlomi took over the reins after
Cleinwerck retired in 2011. She describedhim as a brother.“He was a proud servant and a humble
person. Considering the people of staturefrom different countries whom he workedwith you would think that he would treathis colleagues differently, but he was ahumble person. The same respect that hegave to the presidents he gave to his col-leagues.He respected everyone.Wewill for-ever miss the gentle giant, we carry yourheart with us as you have taught us a lot,”said Mhlomi.Cleinwerck leaves behind his wife Linda
to whom he was married for 43 years, histwo children Natasha and Wayne and agrandchild, Alexcia Rose.Cleinwerck was cremated.
Godfrey Cleinwerck was the first Serjeant-at-Arms of our democratic parliament.

Ceramicshonour theKalahariThe Ardmore Ceramic Art CapeTown exhibition hosted annually atthe Cellars-Hohenort Hotel in Con-stantia is back.It will run from Friday to Sundayfrom 09:00 to 17:00 daily.This year the exhibition feasts onthe visual wealth of the Kalahari forits inspiration.Standing as a testament to the wayin which life is able to adapt andthrive in the harshness of extremeconditions, the Kalahari offered theArdmore artists a thought-provokingfresh landscape and environment towork with.Their growth in talent and ideas asa result of this new focus has beenparticularly interesting.Ardmore founder Fée Halsted saysthis year’s Kalahari Cats exhibitionhas been themost challenging and ex-citing exhibition for the Ardmoreteam to ever work on and she thinksthat this collection includes some oftheir finest works ever produced.Ardmore ceramic art is associatedwith an abundance of colour and lav-ish plants with galloping exotic spot-ted and striped wild animals as sub-ject matter.The usual animals, like zebra, leop-ard, giraffe, elephant and crocodile,have been exchanged for meerkat,badger, aardvark, ostrich, bat-earedfox, cheetah and black desert rhino,while other interesting critters makean appearance too.“This new wilderness is a uniquelandscape that heavily contrastswithanything else that our artists haveworked on before. This is the firsttime they have had to use their ex-pressive qualities to convey the starkand textured Kalahari, and they haveresponded to the plethora of Kalaharilife with a new awakening and inter-est,” says Halsted.Part of the line-up of the exhibitionisBettyNtshingila, knownas thebirdlady of Ardmore, who has been work-ing with raptors as subject matter forthe first time, aswell as lilac-breastedrollers, scarlet-breasted shrike, kor-haan and hornbills.Her social weaver nest-like vasesare works that Ardmore is lookingforward to showcase to collectors atthe exhibition.

Diep River senior citizens now have aplace to call home after the launch of the
Diep River Senior Association on Sunday.This is the first time there is a club for the
elderly in the community to come together.The launch will be followed by three more
“surprise” events this year so that the elder-ly can get together, get to know each otherand enjoy sharing memories.
Alexis Serra, director of the Association,says this is something they created to giveback to the elderly.
“Our senior citizens are the pillars of ourcommunity, and the glue that holds families
together. In spite of raising their own chil-dren, in many disadvantaged communitiesmany open their homes to their adult chil-dren and raise their grandchildren andgreat-grandchildren. They are the books ofknowledge and integrity and a hard-work-ing generation. It’s time they were recog-nised, respected and heard, because our sen-iors are a force to be reckoned with.
“But sadly they are greatly neglected anddisrespected by our current society and gov-ernment. We want to make this a home forthem where they will be happy, forget aboutthe troubles at home. We want to creatememories for them and make them feel thatthey are really valued.
“They don’t ask for much. They want to
be loved and cherished for all the good thatthey have done for us, so we want this clubto bring out the best in them. They shouldenjoy every moment that they step out to betogether,” says Serra.
They are working on getting funds so thatthey will do more activities with the elderly.As from next year they will start with fabricpainting, meals on wheels and transport tothe clinic. They will collect their chronicmedications, do house chores and help withgrooming.
Charmaine Maseko, chairperson of theAssociation, says this is what the elderly re-ally need.
“We want to close the gap. We will be usingour skills and expertise to make the elderly
enjoy every moment. We are still trying tosource funds but we know everything willwork out. This year is more about creatingawareness. Let them be used to each other,then we start the ball rolling. We are veryexcited about it and we hope that they willalso enjoy it,” she says.
With eyes filled with tears, WilhelminaHendricks (72) thanked the people who start-ed the Association by saying it’s heart-warming.
“I can’t really thank them enough for whatthey have done. I still do believe that thereare people out there who value us and haveseen our importance. We know that nothingcomes from nothing so I pledge my supportwhenever I can.”

LEGAL TALK WITH DENZIL
Ignoring debtwill not makeit go awayDebt has become a huge problem in South Africa, especiallywith the interest hike andunemployment – it is estimated thatover 9m South Africans are over-indebted.
It has been reported that half of South Africa’s workforceis currently struggling with debt repayments, with a stagger-ing 6000 vehicles and 2000 homes being repossessed monthly.
25 000 people are in danger of losing their homes. And don’teven mention looming retrenchment and unemployment.
This is an alarming state of affairs as we are entering 2016.What is even more worrying is that we live in a culture in
which consumers think that ignoring the issue will make itdisappear. The reality is that it will only lead to undesiredresults, such as judgements and an unnecessary bureau list-ing.
The question is, if you find yourself in debt, what optionsdo you have to rectify your situation and how can you movecloser to obtaining financial freedom?
Your first step is recognising the signs that you are in debt:don’t be in denial and accept that you need help.
Examples of behaviours are regular short-term loans, pawnshop visits, using credit cards to buy basic necessities likefood or even using your credit cards to repay your short-termloans.
Your immediate solution would be to approach your creditprovider – be honest, transparent and discuss restructuringyourdebt repayment plan.Most importantly, livewithinyourmeans and budget. Eat at home, not restaurants, reducewasteful expenditure on luxury items and even downgradeyour car, house or accommodation.
If this fails, you may need to seek professional help beforelegal action is taken against you.
The secondoption to consider is sequestration.This iswhenyour liabilities exceed your assets. In other words, when yourdebt exceeds the money coming in.
When this is the case you are deemed insolvent. Once thishappens, the court can sell your assets (your home, car andpersonal effects) to repay all your liabilities and debt.
The third option is administration. This is a process inwhich you hand all your financial affairs to an administrator,who will consolidate all your debt, for a fee, and repay yourcredit providers on your behalf. The credit providers receivedebt repayment on your behalf.
There is nothing more powerful than educating yourselfand selecting the right option for you. Debt places an enor-mous amount of stress on the individual and affects every ar-ea of your life.V This column was contributed by Denzil Jacobs, an admitted advocatewith expertise in commercial law.

Use your vote as abargaining toolAllow me this opportunity toexpress my frustration with theslow pace of major development inareas such as Eastridge, BeaconValley, Tafelsig and other poorercoloured communities on the CapeFlats and in Atlantis and Mamre.
It is becoming clear to me andmany other people that we are theforgotten ones, the voting fodder.
We have to wait patiently andpray for prosperity to tricklethrough to our areas. A play parkhere and there and we have to begrateful and shut up. Our streetsare being swept and cleanedwhenever the responsible personfeels like it and at intervals quitefar and wide apart.
Over the last few years, cablethieves have stolen just aboutevery Telkom cable in these areas.Telkom staff took a radical decisionnot to replace cables, which undernormal circumstances would seemto be a rational decision to makeand I do understand this.
Why should law-abiding citizensand those who supported Telkomover many years be punished? Ihave not seen Telkom aggressively
chasing after these cable thieves. Iam also yet to see Telkom runninga high-impact campaign in areaswhere this problem has reachedcritical levels. I did, however, seeTelkom rolling out fibre technologyin some of the most affluent areasin our country, including Constan-tia, Bishopscourt, Camps Bay andSandton.
Gang violence has plagued manyparts of the Cape Flats for manymonths now. Why should ourpeople get used to the idea of livingin fear and accept that gangculture is part of our lives? Wedeserve better than this.
Reality is that many of ourpeople are suffering, struggling tomake ends meet and living a life ofdespondency.
As a coloured person living onthe Cape Flats, I am calling onevery potential voter to use theupcoming municipal election as abargaining tool in an effort to seereal development. Use your cell-phones and make video recordingsof every public meeting beingaddressed by potential wardcouncillors lobbying for your votes.
Ensure that you have hardevidence of all promises, which youcan hold against them in the eventof them winning in your ward. Wecan simply not afford to give awayour votes anymore. I certainlyhave no issue with people beingblindly loyal to their politicalparties, however, at which point doyou become loyal to your ownfamily and your own community?
These elected officials work forus and not the other way around.We need to hold them thoroughlyaccountable.
Your vote is as good as cash! Youwouldn’t overpay for a product atone store when you can buy it atanother store for way less money.Why would you continue voting fora councillor or a party that contin-ues to make promises and constant-ly fails to deliver?
If your current councillor failedto keep your streets clean, failed tobeautify your area, failed to holdregular meetings, failed to providedecent play parks for the children,failed to assist with your municipalmatters, then do not vote for thatsame person or his party. If yourchildren cannot play outside due togang violence and unsafe parks,vote out your councillor and votein a new person.
Let your councillor work andwork hard for that lucrativepackage they earn.

Claiming UIF is‘controlled chaos’On 4 December last year I went toregister to claim UIF benefits afterworking for one company for 16 years. Igot there at 06:00 and joined the queueoutside the locked offices, as they open at07:30, and then you have a very goodchance of being attended to on the sameday, as they turn everyone away at 15:30.
After many visits to the offices, by 25January my papers were all in order andall could be registered and accepted bythe UIF department. I was told on thatday by the consultant that in ten workingdays I would receive payment. As shehad requested my bank details to com-plete a form, which she kept, I was underthe impression that on 8 February theywould deposit the money into my ac-count.
At no given time did any one of theconsultants ever tell me I must come into sign first. On 11 February I phoned toquery the payment. I was told: “Yourmoney is available, but you did not comein to sign.” So when should I have goneto sign? How would I know to go in andsign? I was told I could go in the nextday (Friday) to sign, they would attend toit Monday and by Wednesday it would beavailable.
I am taken aback by the lack ofcommunication. The system is controlledchaos. If I did not query this, wherewould the money go? These are employedpeople at a government department thereto assist the unemployed.

proved yet again that golfis played on grass, not pa-
per, as the four bankers and 17-year-old rookie Ignation Douriessealed a hat trick of victories in theHollard Provincial Challenge ofthe South African Disabled GolfAssociation (SADGA) on Sunday.Over 36 holes of rousing shot
making and spirited competition,WP rallied to triumph with 11.5points, defeating defending cham-pionsRest ofCountry (ROC)by twopoints. Gauteng finished a closethird with nine points.The competition was hosted by
ReichmansCapital at ZwartkopCountry Club.There were lots of doubting
Thomases who didn’t believe thatDouries would keep pace with deafplayer Ryan Lotz and the experi-enced leg amputees Morne Cronje,Riaan Spreeth and Trevor Reich.Douries collected two points for
WP in the first round and sur-prisedwith unexpected determina-tion at the closing hole in the finalround.Standing on the 18th tee, Douries
was one down toVirgil Foster fromGauteng and all square with NicoWentzel fromROC after the formerNedbank SA Disabled Open cham-pion won the 17th hole.“It was very, very tight at the
end, but Douries handled the pres-sure like a real pro,” says proud
WP skipper Pieter Verwey.“We had 10 points in hand, but
ROCwas on 9.5 points andGautenghad 8.5 points.Dourieshad tohalveagainst Foster and beat Wentzel towin the Provincial Challenge forus. It was touch and go, but Igna-tion was like a little terrier thatjust wouldn’t let go.“Experience is always great, but
there is a huge case to be made foryouthful exuberance, becauseDou-ries really did himself as well asWP and the SADGA developmentinitiative – the first swing pro-gramme – very proud.”Douries and Lotz both collected
three points for WP, Spreethamassed two points and Cronjewon theMost Valuable Player hon-our for the champion with 3.5points.“Reich didn’t contribute any
points this year, but the teamawarded him a gold star for inspir-ing everyone else to greatness,”says Verwey.

VOBwould count themselvesun-lucky to lose 7-4 to Athlone in alocal baseball league game atChukker Road on Saturday.VOB out-hit Athlone 6-4 and
could not take advantage of thetwelve walks conceded by Athlo-ne’s pitching.Both teams made two errors,
with the A’s defence securing acrucial double play.Grant Emmanuel (2 for 4) and
Jared Heynes (3 for 4) wereVOB’s top hitters.Athlone’s cause was helped
with two runs batted in each byRiyaad Moosa, Dillian Danielsand Mathew Diedericks.Grant Robertson (7) and Jason
Theys (2) shared the pitching du-ties for VOB, as did Alistair Vea-le (4) and Lee Marks (5) for theA’s.
Bellville 6-1 at Stephen Reagansports ground on Saturday.Bellville, without six of their
national players, found thepitch-ing of Jayson Ripepi a toughproposition and could only man-age one run in the ninth inning.Ripepi threw 8.2 innings be-
fore being replaced by brotherKyle, who got the last out.Jude de Gee batted 2 for 4 for
the winners.
Giants bomb BattswoodA dominant pitching perform-
ance by Kurt Pretorious help setup Maitland Giants’ 15-0 demoli-tion of Battswood.Pretorious allowed three hits
and struck out five in the five-in-nings game.Battswood’s pitching of Aneeq
Hendricks and Nelson Mapikacould not tame the Maitland hit-ting.
Bothasig see off CrusadersEven with five of their players
away on national team duty,
Bothasig still maintained theirlead at the top of the log with a12-1 victory over Grassy ParkCrusaders on Saturday.Crusaders struggled to come to
grips with the pitching of LucasSteinlein from Germany. Theyonly managed to secure threehits and one run in his five-in-ning stint on the mound. He wasreplaced byKeenanClark for thelast two innings and Crusaderscould only manage one hit.Bothasig, however, took ad-
vantage of Cameron Fortuin inhis four innings on the mound.Fortuin conceded seven hits,three walks, three strike outsand nine runs. He was replacedby Ashwin Kleintjies for the lasttwo innings. Kleintjies gave upthree hits and two walks. Cru-saders made four errors.Bothasig’s best hitters were
Duane Feldsman, Nicholas Ea-gles and Steinlein.V This weekend’s fixtures: Crusaders vAthlone, Silvertree v Westridge, VOB vBellville and Bothasig v Durbanville.

goal in the second half.The second division club now occupies
fourth place in the standings, obtaining 29points from their 16 assignments, with thewelcome three points Hempe’s lads earnedensuring they overtook Ikapa for fourth po-sition.Ikapanowhave to be contentwith the fifth
spot with 28 points from 16 matches, which
consist of eight victories, four draws andjust three defeats.It must be mentioned that Grassy Park

rent log leaders, Glendene United, onceagain cemented their top spot with a valua-ble point away from homewhen they playedto a 1-1 draw against Steenberg United at thePhilippi Stadium.Bradley August’s Glendene United side
