RESIDENTS ANGRY: ‘NO CONSULTATION’ ‘No’ to flats in Gaylee MICHELLE LINNERT A ngry residents from the Gaylee Out- reach Forum plan to fight tooth and nail against a proposal to build 16 dou- ble-storey flats on a field in Jane Street, Gaylee. “The application by Headland Planners for the development is at the Stocks & Stocks complex in Khayelitsha,” Lynn Trout, Ward 14 committee member and acting chairper- son of the Forum, told TygerBurger at the meeting. Residents are furious about an apparent lack of notification and consultation with the street’s residents, and feel they have been “disregarded”.

We discuss all planning and budget decisions. Why was I never made aware of any of these develop- ment plans? Who sanctioned it?

“If they can build flats here, why can’t theyrather ‘cut up the land’ and divide it intoplots?” asked resident Denver Abrahams.
Some of the other issues raised pertain tothe use of and entry and exit road to and fromthe proposed building site.
“I explained to them two years ago, whenI objected to the development plans backthen, that ours is a dead-end street. Wherewould visitors park? The only probable ac-cess is through James Street,” said Smith-dorf.
“Yes,” added resident Charles Booysen,“James Street is the only logical road theycould use, and there is already a lot of conges-tion on this access road.”
“Also, what about the fact that some of ushave children who have been looking forplots to buy in the area. What about them –why can’t they buy these plots?” askedBooysen.
The Forum explained there were churches
in the area that had approached the councilover land for building, but were turneddown.
“Our churches want plots. They couldn’tget. We want to build resource centres, andwe have gone to business for investment, butwe’re still on a crusade to get that,” residentAbraham Titus said.
“There are no playgrounds for our child-ren.
“Our children have to walk in the roads be-cause there are no sidewalks. We can’t takeownership of our area, because the groundthat is available, is going to be used for theflats,” Titus said.
“We will fight this tooth and nail. If wedon’t do something now, they’re outing ourchildren and our children’s children fromthese flats. The market value of our homes,in which we have spent years investing, willskyfall. Where is the justice in that?” askedTrout.

City responds to Gaylee“The application for the re-zoning of Erf500 (Gaylee) was advertised from May 31,2013 to July 1, 2013 in Die Burger, TheCape Times, and the Provincial Gazette,”said Pieter Terblanche, the city’s actingdirector for Planning and Building De-velopment Management.
“A notice was also sent, on May 20, 2013via registered post to all property ownersin the immediate area, and notice of thisapplication was provided to the subcoun-cil manager and ward councillor,” hesaid.
“The press advert and notification tothe ward councillor (as well as registeredcommunity organisations) is intended tocover the broader community. A noticewas not issued to the Gaylee OutreachForum because they were not listed onthe Planning and Building DevelopmentManagement Department’s businessviewer at the time of advertising.
“In response to these notifications, oneobjection from a surrounding propertyowner was submitted within the time-frame allowed.
“The re-zoning application will there-fore have to be submitted to subcouncil
for decision once the applicant has re-sponded to all the departmental com-ment obtained in response to the objec-tion. This will most probably occur inthree months’ time,” Terblanche said.
“In addition to the above advertisingrequirements, the applicant is also re-quired to erect an on-site notice to advisesurrounding owners or passers-by of theapplication on the site. However, in thisinstance, it appears that although the ap-plicant was informed of the require-ment, the on- site display was not erect-ed. This is considered contrary to thecity’s policy.”
“Therefore, in order to ensure trans-parency in the process, and in order toensure a credible public participationprocess, a further advertising period willbe required.”
“No new press adverts or notices willbe served, but the applicant will be re-quired to place the on-site display. Thiswill effectively introduce a further com-menting period of 30 days.”
“The applicant will be requested toplace the display on site from MondayJuly 8, until Thursday August 8, 2013.”

“Ons soek ons huise!” en “Ons kan nie elkekeer ’n hok oorbou nie!” en “Die water looptot in ons huise!” was van die woedende engefrustreerde krete wat by ’n onlangse ver-gadering van die Kleinvlei-inwonersvereni-ging gehoor kon word.
Dié vereniging, wat op 3 Julie byeenge-kom het, is woedend oor hulle glo daar is2 500 wooneenhede wat leeg staan by die Nu-we Begin-projek in Mfuleni, terwyl daardringende nood onder van hul behoeftigstelede is.
Sommige van dié lede se wendyhuise isonder water ná die afgelope swaar reëns, en’n paar van hulle het reeds uitsettingsbeveleontvang van die eienaars van erwe waarophulle tans woon, terwyl een vrou ook dak-loos gelaat is nadat haar gade gesterf het.
Dít terwyl daar, volgens hulle, soveel een-hede beskikbaar is wat reeds benut kanword.
Raadslid Wilma Brady van wyk 17, watKleinvlei insluit, het aan TygerBurger ver-duidelik dat daar 1 200 eenhede by Nuwe Be-gin beskikbaar gestel is. Van hierdie eenhe-de is daar destyds (onder die voormaligeprovinsiale minister) 900 geoormerk vir dieKhayelitsha-gemeenskap. Die oorblywende300 eenhede is toe verdeel tussen Mfuleni enwyk 17, met 150 eenhede vir elk.
“Ons het ’n verslag aangevra van Samuelvan Wyk, die provinsiale konsultant wat diebehuising toestaan, om te toon hoeveel fa-milies wat kwalifiseer, reeds geplaas is. Onshet reeds twee weke gelede die verslag vanhom aangevra, maar het tot op hede niksvan hom gehoor nie,” het Brady gesê.
Van Wyk het by navraag aanTygerBurgerontken dat hy so ’n versoek ontvang het. “Ekweet nie van so ’n verslag nie. Daar is kanaleen die raadslid is wel bewus hiervan. Proto-kol moet gevolg word, en ek rapporteer aanmy hoof, wat die 15de weer op kantoor sal
wees,” het Van Wyk gesê.Volgens Sophia Kannemeyer, voorsitter
van die Kleinvlei-inwonersvereniging, isdaar twee behuisingsprojekte wat spesifiekvir wyk 17 geoormerk is, maar wat tot ophede nog nie gebou kon word nie.
“Daar is twee projekte vir ons geoormerkby Blueberry Hill en in Forest Village. Maartoe ons vra wanneer daar uiteindelik aanhierdie projekte gewerk gaan word, moesons hoor hulle trek nou eers by 2003 se pro-jekte wat éérs afgehandel moet word,” hetKannemeyer gesê.
Inwoners is moeg gewag.“Ek is sedert 1988 op die waglys. Ons was
daar by Nuwe Begin en my man het gaanteken. Toe moet ons hoor hy verdien te veelen ons kwalifiseer skielik nie meer (vir be-huising) nie. Toe ek weer bel, sê hulle hymoet eerder sy werk bedank,” het Maria Fe-rus, ’n lid van die vereninging, gesê.
John Fortuin vertel hy is sedert 1999 opdie waglys en was al telkemale na die behui-singskantoor, net om elke keer te hoor hyís wel op die waglys, maar daar is nog geenvordering nie.
“Ons het al optogte gehad om ons saak tebepleit. Daar is grootmense (oues) in hier-die vergadering wie se gades al gesterf het,wat steeds wag op huise,” het Kannemeyergesê. “As ons vra, moet ons hoor hulle is noueers by die 2003-projekte besig. Maar watdan van ons mense wat al járe wag om inhuise te kom? Hoe kan daar 26-jariges inhuise gesit word, maar ons oumense wag allanger as 20 jaar?” het Kannemeyer gevra.
Brady het gesê hierdie mense moet dade-lik na vore kom. “Die minister was baie dui-delik daaroor dat oues eerste behuisingmoet ontvang. As daar mense op waglysteis sedert 1980, dan sal hulle onmiddellik ge-huisves word by Nuwe Begin,” het Bradyaan TygerBurger gesê.
“Hulle moet hul volle name en kaarte toonen bewys dat hulle nog nooit voorheen enige
munisipale eiendom besit het nie, dan kwa-lifiseer hulle vir onmiddellike plasing,” hetBrady gesê.
Behalwe die onmiddellike behoefte, isdaar ook aantygings van korrupsie by dieoorhandiging van behuisingsubsidies deurdie provinsiale konsultant.
“Ek het al gehoor mense betaal (Van Wyk)R5 000, en ander beweer weer dis R3 000. Eksê vir mense as hulle bewyse het, moet hullevorendag kom daarmee. Hulle moet ’nbeëdigde verklaring gaan aflê en dit dan virons bring om op te volg,” het Brady gesê.
“As dit is dat Van Wyk ook onregmatigmense bevoordeel buite die waglyste, moetmense ons daarvan verwittig en bewysebring,” het sy gesê.
Van Wyk het só teenoor TygerBurger ge-reageer in verband met hierdie beweringeteen hom: “Mense is welkom om hul beëdig-de verklarings en bewyse na my te bring.Al daardie beweringe, álles wat daar van mygesê word, is bog. Mense moet kom met be-wyse,” het hy gesê.
Die provinsiale regering het hierdie senti-ment oor beweringe van gemene spel aanTygerBurger beaam toe die departementvan menslike nedersettings genader is oordié aantygings vanuit die Kleinvlei-ge-meenskap.
“Ons het al by verskeie geleenthede in dieverlede aan die media gesê, in verskillendepublikasies en verslae, dat geen geld handemag verwissel nie. Dit is totaal onaanvaar-baar,” het Bruce Oom, woordvoerder virmin. Bonginkosi Madikizela, LUR vir mens-like nerdersettings, gesê.
“Ons dring aan daarop dat die publiekenige bewyse en getuienis na vore moetbring en ons verbind ons daartoe om dit opte volg en te ondersoek sodat ons daarop kanreageer,” het Oom gesê.
Die Kleinvlei-inwonersvereniging het ’nvreedsame optog gereël vir Donderdag 11Julie na die kantore van Van Wyk.

Pendelaars by die Blackheath-, Somerset-Wes- en Melton Rose-treinstasies kan bin-nekort mooier en beter geriewe verwag.Só sê LindeloMatya,Wes-Kaapse streeks-
bestuurder van PRASA-Korporatiewe Vas-te Eiendom (CRES).“ ’n Kontrakteur is aangestel om met die
werk voort te gaan, en dit behoort so viermaande te neem om af te handel,” het hy ge-sê. “In die geheel sal die opgraderings dieaansig en gevoel van die stasie verbeter, endít sluit in die verf daarvan, nuwe wag-ge-riewe, die aanbring van mans- en vrouetoi-lette en algemene verbeterings aan die sta-siegeboue.Volgens Matya kos die opgradering van
R1 miljoen totR3 miljoen,maardie algehelekoste hang volgens hom af van die matewaarin daar verbetermoet word, en die om-vang van sodanige werke. Matye sê dieduikweë by die stasies is egter nie ingesluitin PRASA se opgraderingsbeplanning nie,aangesien dit straat-tot-straat-duikweë is,en as sodanige straat-deurgange is werkdaaraan die Stad se verantwoordelikheid.Die stasies waarop die meeste werk vir
dié “mini-opgradering” verrig sal word, isby Somerset-Wes en Blackheath. Daar isook reeds beginmet diemooimaak vanMel-
ton Rose-stasie.Daar is egter nie onmiddellike planne vir
grootskaalse opgraderingswerk by Somer-set-Wes-stasie ná dié restourasiesessie nie.“Geen planne is al gefinaliseer vir die
(volledige) opgradering in Somerset-Wesnie, aangesien die geriewe daar voldoendeis vir die stasie se huidige en onmiddeliketoekomstige gebruik,” het Matye gesê.

Their house has 11 rooms – ample space forhis wife, a community worker and seam-stress, to fulfil her dream of imparting herskills to others. The problem? Their bighouse is falling apart.Pieter “Car Wash” de Bruyn (54) and his
wife Carol Gertse (54) live at the expandedmaisonette, 6 Impala Street, Kleinvlei. Theydream of opening their house up to the com-munity for all sorts of projects.This includes their dream of housing a
training facility with the aim of job crea-tion.Carol Gertse is already very active in the
community, where she offers a counsellingservice to youngsters with drug problems,and many community members know tovisit her forhelpwhen theyneed their bloodpressure measured or sugar levels tested.Pieter deBruyn is in theprocess of having
their current unofficial social services reg-istered into a bona fide community organi-sation for entrepreneurs and skills train-ing.Their house, however, has fallen into dis-
repair.De Bruyn explains this is due to vandal-
ism and poor care-taking by previous ten-ants to whom his mother, the original own-er of the house, leased the property.
He and his wife struggled for five yearsafter his mother’s death to have these ten-ants evicted from the premises through acourt order and later a warrant by the sher-iff, when the tenants refused. In the process,the housewas left in a terrible state of dilap-idation and neglect.“I helpedmymother build this house. We
built it together when she was still alive.Then, after I got divorced frommy firstwife,I derailed a little and ended up on thestreets. However, I dragged myself out ofthose circumstances, but by then the househadbeen rented out already,”DeBruyn toldTygerBurger.“Now Carol and I are struggling to turn
all this space into something that others andourselves can put to good use for the entirecommunity,” he said.De Bruyn is a self-proclaimed “car wash
entrepreneur”. He seeks out a corporatebuilding – specifically the parking lot – andthen, with bucket and cleaning agents inhand, arranges with the owners of the firmto clean all the interested employees’ carsin the lot.“Who knows where the project could end
up? We could even supply temporary hous-ing to backyarders,” he said.V Parties or firms wishing to make donations ofbuilding supplies, can contact De Bruyn at0 073 165 1717.
Dilapidated house couldserve community well
All those who are unemployed and seekingjob preparedness training are invited to at-tend a workshop in Wesbank to hone theirjob-seeking skills.The Samaritan, a registered non-profit
community organisation is hosting the jobpreparedness workshop in collaboration
with the National Youth DevelopmentAgency (NYDA) on Saturday, July 20, 2013,at 09:30 for 10:00 at 39Marthinus vanSchalk-wyk Road, Wesbank, Kuils River.Registration is compulsory.

New tables and chairs, new toys, mats, mat-tresses, cots and even stationery. Theseitems were put to good use when Brenda Ne-ro opened her new creche on July 1 in Kalk-fontein.
The best part of this new creche, besidesall the shiny new equipment and even thebrand new structure that houses these dona-tions, is that Nero’s creche is being regis-tered by the community organisation thatset up her new business, and she doesn’t owethem a single cent.
This donor organisation, the Associationfor Healing, is a Section 21 company whosemain focus is to empower and uplift needycommunities of the Western Cape.
‘We have creches in Mfuleni, Delft, and wewish to spread to Eerste River, which is inour budget for next year. We have alsospread to Happy Valley, in the new sectionthere. These are all areas where childrendon’t necessarily get the cognitive develop-ment they so desperately need,” the Associa-tion for Healing’s MD, Leanne Stellenberg,told TygerBurger.
Any person who has completed an EarlyChildhood Development (ECD) course, andwho wishes to open their own creche, canapply for financial assistance, which in-cludes the entire cost of setting up the newschool – from the building to the toilets tothe crayons and paper.
“The only requirement for us to build forthem, is that they keep the creche open and
operate it for at least three years. This meas-ure is put into place merely to ensure thecognitive development of our children issustained permanently. We are not throw-ing good money after bad,” said Stellenberg.
“Weevenoffer our own training to thepro-spective teachers, in which we focus on thecognitive development of the childrenthrough the play and learn concept,” shesaid.
“We have additional training for ECDpractitioners and supply all the necessarylearning material and equipment to ensurethe child’s early development,” she said.
“This is also a job creation project, be-cause there are no set-up costs for the own-ers and we keep on assisting and supportingthe creches until they become financially vi-able. They can even use the creches to havechildren’s parties, and thus generate an ex-tra income,” she said.
“We have this empowerment programmein place so that we can ensure we developour children for matric. Quality is the key,and our training is on par with that of FETs.These programmes form part of our ‘turn-key solution’ – where we teach partners toturn the key, open the door and sustain a fu-ture for themselves and our communities,”Stellenberg said.
So, how does it feel to have everything youneed to operate a successful teaching busi-ness right at hand – where even the buildingyou’re operating from, was built especiallyfor you, from scratch?
“We are very grateful. All I need to do on
my own, is to prepare the children’s dailymeals, fetch them from aftercare when theschools reopen, and, of course, to teachthem.Wealsoneed to supply theAssociationfor Healing with a report every threemonths, basically just to tell them how weare progressing, what we need and howmany kids have since enrolled,” Nero said.
“They even print out the enrolment forms
for us!” she laughed.“I’m very excited, and the only thing we
are still waiting on, is for the organisationto come and finish our brand new toilets,”she said.V All interested parties can contact the Associationfor Healing’s MD, Leanne Stellenberg, to arrange anappointment at 0 082 371 4252, or email her [email protected].

Die huis by Greenshankweg 11 in ElectricCity, Eersterivier, was eers ’n hool van on-gesonde aktiwiteite, volgens bure daar. Toebrand die huis tot teen die grond af.TygerBurgerwougaanvasstel of dié afge-
brande eiendom van Sheila de Kock, wattans in Forest Village woon en destyds diehuis uitverhuur het, tans probleme vir diebure veroorsaak met ongewenste elementewat moontlik daar saamdrom.
Ons was aangenaam verras toe ’n buur-vrou vertel dit is juis nou, ná die brand, niémeer vir hulle ’n probleem nie.
“Die vorige huurders was ’n gesin. Diema en pa het getik en daar was sprake dathulle geld aan die dealers geskuld het,” het’n buurvrou, wat nie genoem wou word nie,aan TygerBurger gesê.
“Hulle het drie kinders van agt, vyf eneen jaar oud gehad, maar die welsynsmen-se en die polisie het al gekom om die kin-ders te kom haal,” het sy gesê.
“Daar was ook mense agter in die ser-vant’s quarters, maar hulle het ook getik.Daai deel van die huis het eers afgebrand,”het sy gesê.
Die hoofhuis is vroeg verlede jaar óók inpuin gelê.
“Die aand (van die brand) was dit baie be-drywig daar. Daar is gesels met die druglords se mense. Ons kon hoor die huismen-se is aangesê om 22:00 die aand bank toe tegaan om geld te gaan trek, want dit was diehuurder se pay day, en hulle het glo geldaan dié gang geskuld.
“Toe ons weer sien, toe brand die huis.Teen 05:00 daai oggend was alles stil,” hetsy gesê.
“Vandat die brand plaasgevind het, is ditbaie rustig. Hier vind niks meer goddeloos-heid plaas nie, en ons slaap van toe af ookweer in vrede.”
Volgens dié buurvrou was daar al heel-wat navrae oor die beskikbaarheid van diéerf. Maar De Kock het ander planne daar-mee.
“Dit was vir ons baie onaangenaam toedie mense daar gehuur het, en ons het grootverloor toe dit afgebrand het,” het De Kockgesê. “Maar ons is van plan om vroeg in vol-gende jaar self daar te bou.Ons gaandit laatsloop en weer ’n huis daar bou.
“My vrees is vir moontlike besetters,want dan het ’n mens probleme om hullevan jou erf af te kry. Dis die hoofrede hoe-kom ons so gou moontlik daar wil bou. Ekry elke dag daar verby om te kyk of allesnog reg is,” het sy gesê.

Goeie, outydse naaldwerkvaardighede, ’n aanleg vir entrepre-
neurskap en ’n passie om mense te help, is die dryfveer agter
Abigail Florence se Elves at Work. Die maatskappy vervaardig
strooikussings en dekens van topgehalte vir die binnenshuise
ontwerpbedryf en spesialiseer ook in die aanbied van ’n verskei-
denheid opleidingsprogramme in basiese naaldwerk, brei, hekel
en borduur vir individue, korporatiewe groepe en sosiale groepe.
Terwyl Abigail jare gelede as ’n binnenshuise ontwerper gewerk
het by OKHA Interiors in Kaapstad, het sy al hoe meer bewus
geword van die bedryf se aanvraag vir pasgemaakte sagte
dekoritems van goeie gehalte. Om in hierdie behoef-
te te voorsien, het sy Elves at Work op die been
gebring, waarin sy die naaldwerkvaardighede
van mense in haar gemeenskap gebruik. Die
onderneming het intussen uitgebrei om
basiese naaldwerk- en naaldwerkkunsoplei-
ding in te sluit.
Elves at Work is onlangs gekies as een van
die begunstigdes van Media24 se Ruimte

The Muslim holy month ofRamadaan starts today. Tyger-Burger took to the streets andwent in search of the truemeaning of this special periodof fasting and abstinence forour Muslim readers. MichelleLinnert asked a few peoplewhat this spiritual journeymeans to them and theirfamilies.
Yasmine Isaacs (27)from Delft: “Ramadaan isa very big month for us. Wewait for 11 months for thisone month in which we canexperience how it feels togo hungry and feel howpeople feel who have nofood. We as Muslims respectthis month.”
Yaseen Davids (65) fromHeideveld: “Ramadaanmeans more than life itself tome. It makes me a betterperson. I used to be a littlenaughty when I was younger,but come Ramadaan, then Iwas better. When I smoke alot, I get the chance to try tosmoke less at Ramadaantime.”
Nawaaldien Williams (9)from Bishop Lavis: “It’spart of my religion. It is ourtradition and it brings uscloser to Allah and teaches usto give to others.”

Have mercy on us...Coming out of a well-known
retailer in Tyger Valley CentreI was faced with, not one, nottwo, but three disabled personsacting as ambassadors for theirrespective charities. Mymomentary joy about thecouple of bags of “spoil me”goodies in hand was annihilat-ed. I wanted to scream, voicemy frustration to centremanagement, stomp my feet, orjust look the other way andfloat my self-righteousness justthis once!The excruciating sense of
guilt which instantaneouslyoverwhelmed me restored asense of sanity, and the mostbeautiful smile from one of theambassadors brought home therealisation that my frustrationis not because they had theaudacity to invade my happybubble uninvited, nor was itbecause I am a self-centredbeing with no interest in myfellow man. It is because I amcompletely saturated with theneed and distress around meand my own limited andinferior ability to make anysort of sustainable difference.No matter how much one
gives there will always be agreater need than the resourc-es available to give.So, said I to myself, do I
throw my hands up in agesture of despair and declareeach unto his own, or do I takea deep breath, compose myselfand strategise to ensure themost focused impact? I choosethe latter for that option atleast holds the promise ofhope...

Emergency Medical Servicescrews are being attacked bycriminals. Why?
Attacking medicalpersonnel is insane
We are often told shockingstories by the crews when weserve refreshments to them onFriday nights. They tell tales ofwhat they have to endure on adaily basis in the line of duty.A recent Facebook post from
a Metro EMS medic said: “Inthe last incident crew were leftbadly traumatised, because theywere robbed at gunpoint oftheir personal possessions. Wego out to serve our communityand we would like the respectof our community. We don’teven know if we will returnsafely to our loved ones.”Sadly these things happen all
over. Hout Bay Volunteer EMSwere broken into TWICE overthe same weekend – bear inmind these guys are completelyvoluntary and everything theyhave has been donated so theseguys can assist the community.Who would ever imagine
their work could be dangerous?And the thought of them beingattacked by the people they aretrying to help is scary!One day, the EMS staff will
refuse to go into your area andwho will end up suffering?This is why we go to govern-
ment hospitals and serve freerefreshments to all emergencyservices on duty every Friday.Just to give the guys and gals abreak from all the insanity theyhave to deal with every day.

Die gaan aan almal wat dinkkelners verdien baie. Kelners ismiskien nie die beste vanwerke nie, maar dit is beter asom te staan en bedel. Werk isalreeds skaars, so vat wat jykan kry. Nie al die restaurantebetaal ’n salaris nie en anderbetaal iets soos kommissie van3% wat ook maar niks is nie.My man is al vir 8 jaar ’nkelner en is baie goed in wathy doen. Hy betaal vir ons driekinders se opvoeding, sit kos opdie tafel en klere aan hul lywe,
Om kelner te wees isbeter as om te bedel
JP du Plessis, in response toyour letter (“Die lewe skuld diékelner net mooi niks”, TB, 3July). You state that “jy kieshoe jy jou lewe wil lei”. Also,that it is your choice to becomea waitron.You obviously walk around
with blinkers or you come froma very privileged background.Who chooses to be born into
a family with a father whospends all his money at theclub, has plenty of money forhis buddies, but no money forhis children, even for busfare?Where you have to work as awaitron, also work at the races,to pay for technical collegebooks (a necessity).Yes, today they have a career,
no thanks to their parents.Do you know that some
restaurants do not pay one centto their waitrons. They workfor three days without paywhilst training and nothingoffered to eat either. Wanneerjy ‘n kind is bestaan die lewenie uit keuses nie!Not all of us have time to

LEWENSKIEKIE
Net opleidingkan misdaadlaat afneemMisdaad neem deesdae nie net in dienoordelike voorstede skrikwekkendeafmetings aan nie, maar is ook besig omin die res van die Wes-Kaap en land buitebeheer te tol.Daagliks moet ons lees van moorde,
rooftogte, kapings en huisbrake. Diegeloei van polisiesirenes het al “Suid-Afrikaanse agtergrondmusiek” geword.Om die polisie, wat veronderstel is om
sy burgers veilig te hou, alleen verant-woordelik te wil hou vir dié situasie, souonbillik wees. Die misdaadgolf is besigom alle teenstand te verswelg. Diepolisiediens sal moet vervierdubbel ingetalle om dié golf te stuit. Dit is dus nie’n realistiese oplossing nie.Die kern van dié probleem kan maar
net weer teruggevoer word na die armoe-de en werkloosheid in die land. Enarmoede en werkloosheid se spoor beginaltyd by ’n land se onderwys- en oplei-dingstelsels.Gebrekkige onderwys en opleiding is
uiteindelik die wortel van alle kwaad.Hoe gouer ons in Suid-Afrika hieraanaandag gee, hou gouer sal ons anderprobleme afneem. ’n Beskaafde land hetnie net dokters, prokureurs en ingenieursnodig nie. Dit het ook vakmanne, tegnicien opgeleide hande-arbeiders nodig.Wanneer Suid-Afrika eendag sy eie
grondstowwe nie na China en die VSAhoef uit te voer nie, maar dit self hierverwerk en markgereed maak, gaanwerkloosheid soos mis voor die sonverdwyn – en misdaad uiteindelikdramaties afneem.

Rayjean Appels (23) fromBelhar: “R50 worth of petrolisn’t even enough any morefrom Belhar to Bellville. There isno benefit for motorists. Atleast with the banks you getredeemable points when you useservices.”

The price of petrol skyrocketed toabout R13 per litre last Wednesday, July3 – the latest record high. It went upwith a whopping 84 cents, and that’snot even the end of it. The Depart-ment of Minerals and Energy has war-ned of another proposed hike on Au-gust 7 of about 61 cents. The increasesin the petrol price are attributed torising costs of international petroleumproducts and the poor performance ofthe rand. TygerBurger wanted to knowhow these increases affect, and willaffect, our readers.
Stuart Greenwood (50)from Durbanville: “It’sterrible. We are spending alot more money now. Thehikes mean that the pricesfor all other goods andservices go up as well andpeople are already complaing. I don’t think it willstop climbing, though.”
Zuko Sonjiwa (32) fromDelft South, Suburban: “Ihaven’t yet bought a car, butthe way things are now, weare forced to plan ahead.About three months ago thetaxi fare went up. We ascommuters should benefit aswell. The taxi bosses shouldn’tbe allowed to change the priceby R1 if the price hike is only 3cents, for instance.”
Denzil Arendse (43) fromBelhar: “It’s ridiculous thatthe price goes up so much,and in turn our standards ofliving becomes lower becausewe have to make do withoutcertain items to cope. I’m sothankful to my employer,Golden Arrow, because theypick us bus drivers up anddrop us off at home.”
Skitterende oorwinnings deur die Ty-gerberg- enGoodwood-rugbyklubswasdie glanspunte van die afgelope na-
week se Superliga-wedstryde in die WP.Tygerberg het gewys wat die begrip “veg-

wig in die saal, met die telling op 25-9.
AfbreekpunteMaar toe sê die Tygerbergers tot hiertoe
en nie verder nie. Goeie spel by die afbreek-punte en doeltreffende aanwending van diebalbesit deur die agterspelers het die Flori-dapark-span deur middel van drie drieë indie tweede helfte 25 onbeantwoorde puntelaat opstapel, om met 34-25 te seëvier.Die Bellville-span (voorheen Bell Tech)
het dit in sy wedstryd teen Hamiltons maarhotagter gekry.Die Bellvilliete was in der waarheid nooit
in die prentjie nie en is met 78-7 gelooi.

Goodwood het met sy vyf drieë teenoor dievier van die besoekers tog die naelskraapse
