“However, we can confirm that there we noinjuries to staff. Thenecessary trauma coun-selling had been arranged for our employeeswho were impacted by this incident,” Lin-strom said.The incident also sparked a huge concern
amongst residents who took to social mediato express their dismay.One user on TygerBurger’s Facebook pro-
file, Melany Rodrigues said: “Honestly, thepolice must do something or bring the armyin. (It’s) getting out of hand.“Oh Lord, have mercy on us all,” Bernice
Leggett, wrote.The local Community Policing Forum
(CPF) said they too are concerned.Alton Payne, CPF chair, said their con-
cern is for innocent people who always endup getting hurt, “Someone’s mother, bro-
ther, father or sister.”He said: “We are very concerned as there
is an increase in the crime atmalls and shop-ping complexes, not just in Kuils River butacross the country.“I thinkwe as a community, together with
the police, must be vigilant and become acti-ve in the fight against crime.”As a deterrent, Payne recommend that
CCTV cameras be installed across the CBD.“This has been discussed in numerous
meetings but the cost implications were justtoo huge.“However I do think with the spike in cri-
me in the area, we as residents, the businessfraternity and the councillors should takehands and install these cameras which willassist us to help capture the perpetrators,”Payne said.

Disaster RiskManagementteams takeseniors through anevacuationexercise at one ofthe homesinvolved in theproject.
Steps to avert disastertaken at old age homesElderly residents at a number of facilitiesowned and operated by the Cape Peninsu-la Organisation for the Aged (CPOA) arebeing prepared for emergency situations,as part of an emergency planning projectbeing run in collaboration with the city’sDisaster Risk Management Centre.The project was inspired by the United
Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduc-tion campaign around the role of olderpeople in disaster risk reduction.As a result, Disaster RiskManagement
has committed to helping the CPOA withemergency planning and evacuation pro-cedures for old-age homes and retirementvillages.“Effective emergency management is
difficult in any situation, and becomeseven more challenging when issues likemobility and frailty are brought into theequation,” said city’s mayco member forsafety and security, JP Smith.“It is therefore paramount that we help
ensure our facilities for older people arenot only up to code in terms of, for exam-ple, fire safety, but also that both residentsand staff are aware of what to do shouldthere be a need to evacuate the premises.”For the first phase of the project, exer-
ciseswere conducted at Lilyhaven inBon-teheuwel; Avondrust Court, Rondebosch;Arcadia Place, Observatory; Erica Place,Athlone; Fernbridge, Diep River; andConstantia Place, Constantia.A similar project was launched in col-
laboration with the Helderberg Society
for the Aged on Thursday 6 Novemberwhere residents of Huis Vonke in Somer-setWest participated in an evacuation ex-ercise.
Further exercises are scheduled at fourother facilities in the Helderberg laterthis month.“Many people think that disaster risk
management begins when a disaster hap-pens, but the reality is that much of ourworkhappensbehind the sceneswith edu-
cation and awareness,” said Smith.“This includes safety drills and exercis-
es to ensure that our staff, but also resi-dents, are as prepared as possible in theevent of an incident.There are many people for whom emer-
gency drills are nothingmore thanhalf anhour away from their desks, but the valueof knowing what to do when the situationcalls for it cannot be understated – and thesame applies for our elderly residentswho are even more vulnerable.”
Desember is omdie draai en só ook liefli-ke somerweer. As die idee van ’n kort-broek (of nog erger, ’n bikini!) jou ang-stig laat sweet, troos jouself daaraan dat90% van vroue selluliet het.Negentig persent? Inderdaad. Wat be-
teken dat selluliet nie net beperk is totoorgewig vroue nie. Skraal vroue loopook deur.Die goeie nuus is dat jy wél die voor-
koms daarvan kan verbeter. Volgens dievrouetydskrifSarie is daar agt dinge vanselluliet wat jy moet weet:1. Selluliet ontstaan wanneer vet on-
der jou vel saampak en teen jou vel druk.Dít veroorsaak dan ’n lemoenskilvoor-
koms, sê Meghan Less, opleidingsbe-stuurder van die velsorgreeks Mio.2. Sellulietword in grade opgedeel, vol-
gens ’n artikel wat in die internasionaletydskrifScientificAmericanverskynhet:Graad 0: Jy het geen sigbare selluliet nieen jou vel lyk glad; Graad 1: Jy kan netselluliet sien wanneer jy jou vel knyp;Graad 2: Jy kan selluliet op jou bene sienwanneer jy staan, maar dis nie sigbaarwanneer jy lê nie; Graad 3: Selluliet isduidelik sigbaar wanneer jy staan én lê.3. Sowat 90% van vroue het selluliet
teenoor 10% van mans, volgens die arti-kel in Scientific American.Dis omdat vroue meer lae vet om hul
heupe, boude en dye het.4. Die oorsake van selluliet word nog
nie heeltemal verstaan nie, sê DebbieNel, opleidingsbestuurder van die vel-sorghuis Guinot. Dit wil voorkom asofdie volgende faktore ’n rol speel, sê sy:Genetika:Jougenetikakan ’n invloed
hê op jou metabolisme, die verspreidingvan vet onder jou vel en die doeltreffend-heid van jou bloedsirkulasie.Dieet:Vroue wat ongesond eet, het ge-
woonlik meer selluliet.Leefstyl: Selluliet is meer algemeen
by vroue wat rook, nie oefen nie en virlang tye van die dag sit.
Selluliet alledaags by vroue
Een van die behandelings teen selluliet isendermologie, wat help om bloedsirkulasiete verbeter.

The possibility that gang violence mightnever be eliminated, only reduced, was adisturbing comment by the DA’s MireilleWenger in a public debate about gangs anddrugs and the effects it has on society.
The debate was held at the Western Capelegislature last week, where MPLs from op-position parties had the opportunity tohighlight their concerns and criticisms.
Wenger said she believes specialisedunits are necessary to help fight gangs.
“Crime and violence is demoralising, vic-tims of violence suffer injuries, sometimesthey lose their lives.
“Often those who live in such areas aredeprived of life’s simple opportunities,”Wenger said.
The ACDP’s Ferlon Christians made asimilar statement earlier that day. He saidchildren who are brought up in poor areaslike Elsies River experience gang violenceon a daily basis.
“In fact, boys and girls say nothing goodcan come fromHanover Park and Bokmaki-erie,” Christians said.
He said absent parents was also an issue.“We cannot blame government and the
police, we need to take responsibility.“When I spoke to a 10-year-old boy he said
he cannot get out of the gang, that he hasto kill as a gang member,” Christians said.
DanPlato,Minister of Community Safety,concurred. “With communities at the cen-
tre,weneed thehelp fromthepolice andoth-er spheres of government but most impor-tantly from parents as well.
“Speaker, active parenthood ismorevalu-able than any government or police inter-vention.Theparents’ role inbeing rolemod-els for their children and ensuring theirchildren know the difference between rightand wrong, is an essential part of a child’supbringing.
“We have to prevent our children gettinginvolved in gang related activities. I call onparents to workwith us in this regard,” Pla-to pleaded.
He said a whole-of-society approach isneeded to tackle gangs.
“We will not be successful in breakingdown this culture if we try to do this eachas an individual, a political party, a sphereof government, a department or as the po-lice in isolation from one another.”
In her speech, ANC MPL Pat Lekker saidvery little is being done to fight the problem.
“The honourable community safety MECDan Plato massively failed the people of theWestern Cape... he and his governmentwork to destroy it and discredit our crimi-nal justice system,” Lekker said.

At the new premises on 158 and 160 DurbanRoad, customers will have access to safe par-king.
“It will be a new and pleasant shopping ex-perience. It is important for us to replicateand even improve the level of service we have
been known for throughout the years. Ourloyal customers will knowwe would not havethis longevity if we were not leaders in ourfield in thenorthern suburbs.We strive topro-vide all clients with an upmarket and friendlyshopping and home improvement experience,by ensuring our staff are knowledgeable andare always willing to go the extra mile,” saysvan der Spy.
While traditional goods like decorativepaints, customised colour matching and tin-ting, plumbing and sanitaryware, as well assmall hardware will be sold, there will also bea range of new services. “
We will now offer tinting and supply of au-tomotive paints and abrasives, as well as bo-ards, cabinetry and associated products.Whatthis means is that we will design, manufactu-re, supply and install built-in cupboards andkitchens.” She invites everyone to have a lookat the new store.

The city takes training for the seasonal fire-fighters very seriously in order to preparethem for any eventuality during the summerseason.
Last week 40 trainees from Belhar andMitchells Plain went into the field to com-plete some aspects of their practical train-ing. These ‘hot-shot’ crews will be primarilyused to combat vegetation fires and will bedeployed as from Monday 24 November.
The specialised training focused on as-pects of “wild land firefighting” and thepractical use of specific equipment.
The training is aimed at demonstrating
how to fight veld and vegetation fires, whilelearning how to make fire breaks.
The City of Cape Town’s Fire and RescueService is in the process of beefing up its re-sources for summer when high tempera-tures and strong winds promote the spreadof fires. During the previous summer sea-son, firefighters attended to more than 5 000structural and vegetation fires.V The City appeals to the public to please report anyfires to its Public Emergency Communication Centreon 107 from a landline or 021 480 7700 from a cellphone. Damaged fire hydrants can be reported to0860 103 089.

Vyf Vrygrond-gesinne is die afgelope na-week dakloos gelaat toe ’n brand hul sink-huise een ná die ander verwoes het.Die inwoners het egter almal genadiglikdaarin geslaag om die vlammehel vry tespring. Net enkeles het hul arms, hande enbene beseer.Die gemeenskapsleier, Justin Wildebees,het vandeesweek gesê die brand is die twee-de brand sedert einde verlede jaar.“Jaar ná jaar brand die plek. Verlede jaaren nou weer. Gaan die mense ooit huisekry? Elke keer moet hulle van vooraf be-gin,” het Wildebees gesê.Verlede jaar se brand, waarin heelpartysinkhuise platgevee is, het in Desemberplaasgevind.Wilfred Solomons-Johannes, woordvoer-der van die Stad Kaapstad se rampbestuur-afdeling, het gesê nooddienste is Vrydag om21:57 na die toneel in Sikelelastraat in dieinformele nedersetting ontbied.“Die brandhet vyf informele strukture af-gebrand. Altesame 12mense is daardeur ge-raak. Die oorsaak is nog nie vasgestel nie.Die plaaslike nooddienste sal die voorvalondersoek,” het Solomons-Johannes gesê.’n Inwoner, Anna Damane (37), het aan
TygerBurger vertel hoe die vlamme die hui-se verswelg het. Sy en haar kêrel, MalachaiMenzi, was in hul huis toe die brand uitge-breek het. “My boyfriend het gevrawat ruikso na brand? Hy het gesê ek moet loop kyk.Toe ek buite kom, sien ek die vlamme langsons huis,” het Damane gesê. Die brand hetby hul buurvrou se huis ontstaan. “My ys-kas, kombuiskaste, wasmasjien en bed hetuitgebrand,” het Damane gesê.Rampbestuur het oor die naweek bouma-teriaal, komberse, klere en kos aan die slag-offers voorsien. Vier van die huise is die na-
week herbou. Maandagmiddag was daarnog gate gegrawe vir die vyfde struktuur.JoleneMali (33), nog ’n inwoner,moet ooknou van vooraf begin.“Ek en my man was besig om televisie tekyk. Anna het ons kom sê van die brand,”het sy vertel. Jolene se man moes hom ookhaas om die gesin se bakkie, wat voor diesinkhuis geparkeer was. te skuif.Wildebees het ’n beroep gedoen op inwo-ners om nie onder die invloed van dranksaans met elektriese toebehore te werk endan te gaan slaap sonder om dit af te skakelnie. “Een brand in die plakkerskamp is eente veel. Die mense kan nie bekostig om dieheeltyd alles te verloor nie,” sê hy.

Despite never having sailed any of theseven seas, a group of Eerste River res-idents working as volunteers at one of
the world’s greatest ocean races, say the ex-perience alone is memorable.The group of about ten from the area have
for the past two weeks – during the CapeTown stopover of the Volvo Ocean Race –looked after the crews, boats and curiousvisitors who frequent the pop-up centres lo-cated at the V&A Waterfront.The experience as a whole, most say, is
wonderful.Speaking to TygerBurger on Friday, Dev-
on Park-resident Annalene Hollaway, whoalsoworks as a volunteer at the Eerste RiverMulti Purpose Centre, said she enjoys eachmoment.
Friendly people“We meet a lot of people here, take them
to the boat so that they can get an experienceof what it is like for the sailors,” Hollawaysaid.Sheworks at theCross Section – an exhibi-
tion area where people can climb onto ayacht to see how the craft operates.What she enjoys most, Hollaway said, is
meeting lots of friendly people.
“The fact that I met Ian Walker and hisparents, that was the highlight,” she added.Walker is the skipper of Team Abu Dhabi,
who arrived first in the first leg of the racefrom Alicante to Cape Town.Benn Carey, volunteer coordinator in the
Volvo Ocean Race’s operational team, saidbeing a coordinator is the best job.“The friendship and the bond that you
make over here in 19 days – slightly less inSpain and slightly more in Abu Dhabi – isthat you’re meeting the volunteers that are
giving up their time for this race, withoutthemthiswouldnothappen,” the formervol-unteer from London, England, said.He said he understandswhat it means giv-
ing up one’s time.“I have had a fantastic experience here
with these volunteers.“It is humbling, it is a privilege for me to
meet people who come from the backgroundthat these people come from,” he said.Juleen van Rooyen from Electric City,
who also helps out at the exhibition centre,
said she learned a lot while volunteering.“This was a learning experience for me.
I never had an interest in sailing, but nowI can actually explain to people how the boatworks and I am able to answer their ques-tions. This was a nice experience.“It is my first time that I am involved in
this project, but it is absolutely amazing,”van Rooyen said.
New experiencesEdward Davids from Stratford Green said
he was also involved in the project in 2012.“Volunteering is one of the city’smain pri-
orities, and provides and opportunity to ex-perience new things in the city,” he said.“By volunteering, it also leads to employ-
ment. There is not just one event the cityhosts, there are many, and there is a lot onecan learn,” said Davids, who works as an at-tendant at the Kleinvlei Community Hall.Mawabo Siwela fromWesbank helped out
at thedome, anareawhere theydisplaymov-ies about the race.“I enjoy it. I love the whole event. I met
most of the participants, they are veryfriendly and it is fun speaking to them.“One can network a lot. We also learn
some of the foreign languages,” he said smil-ing.Tonight the fleet will set sail for Abu
Dhabi, the second leg of the race.

Following the recent warning issuedagainst a spate of car hijacking andhouse robberies in the Kleinvlei area,
the police this week said they are still con-cerned about the growing prevalence ofthese crimes.Warrant officer Annacletta Mothoalo,
spokesperson for the Kleinvlei police, saidthis week a number of car hijacking andhouse robberies have been reported to thepolice over the last few months.“As from August, Kleinvlei police have
experienced a lot of reports regarding carhijacking and house robberies,” she said.According to the police, most of the house
robberies, occurred at the newly developedBelladonna Estate situated along AlbertPhilander Road, Blue Downs, near themag-istrate’s court.“We have experienced that they use one
particular modus operandi where they re-
move the whole frame of the window in or-der to gain access.”She said people need to be careful who
they ask to clean their yards and homes.“Often the people who are involved in thesehouse robberies are peoplewhoknowexact-ly the entranceandexit to yourhouse,”Mot-hoalo said.She said cases of housebreakinghave also
been reported at the Our Pride HousingProject.“Here theybreak in at thehousewhile the
owners are work.”Mothoalo said to address this, community
members need to work hand and hand withpolice through street committees and theCPF.“They need to establish street commit-
tees, neighbourhoodwatches and also be ac-tive in the CPF,” she said.She encouraged people to attend sector fo-
rum meetings with the sector commandersof thepolice stationwhere crimesoccurringin the areas are normally discussed.
Hijacking and houserobbery on increase
The Mfuleni Community Police Forum’s(CPF) annual general meeting which wasscheduled to take place last week Thurs-day, had to be postponed due to some ofthe registered organisations not atten-ding.The AGM is now scheduled forWednes-
day 3 December. The meeting takes placeat theMfuleni police station’s boardroom.At last Thursday’s meeting only six of

Instead of having a big party, a police coloneldecided to celebrate his 50th birthday bysharing goodwill.
Colonel Henry Hubbard, a member of theKuils River police cluster, decided that thisyear he wants to do things differently andrather than having fancy celebrations, hewould plough the money he had into some-thing worth much more. This resulted in thepurchase of a Wendy house which he donatedto an Eerste River teenager and her three sib-lings on Friday last week.
Eerste River High matriculant Nadine vanNiekerk (18) – the recipient – said they appre-ciate the gesture.
“I turned 50 recently and I said to myself,we are so blessed but others are not as fortu-nate,” said Henry.
“Instead of spending money on a good lifeand fancy party I decided to take the moneyand help someone,” he said.
While going through the crime reports, henoticed the case regarding Nadine who re-ported her mother for child abandonment.
“I said to myself, this is not right. The sys-tem is failing them.”
He then organised with his friends andfamily to all make a contribution.
“We then erected the wendy house,” hesaid.
The newly built structure now stands nextto the old iron shack in which the teen andher two twin brothers, Keenan and Kel (12)and sister, Cassidy (7) have been living in forthe past eight months.
Nadine have been looking after her sib-lings during that time since their motherwalked out.
“These kids are relying on sandwiches atschool,” Henry said.
Apart from his help, one teacher also con-tributed R200 to the children each month.
“But that is not enough to feed a hungrymind,” Henry added.
Nadine, who is currently writing her finalmatric exams, said she is thankful.
“Not a lot of people would do this,” she ex-plained.
Nadine wanted to study next year, but saidshe might have to go work to maintain thehousehold.
Henry said his family will assist them withapplying for a social grant.V Anyone who wants to assist the family further cancontact Henry on 079 894 1373.

Judy de Bruyn, ’n gemeenskapswerker van Happy Valley, het in Augustus die blokwag begin omdie gebied te help beveilig. Sy het ook speletjies by haar huis geïnstalleer om die jongspan entieners bedags besig en uit die strate te hou. FOTO: RICHARD ROBERTS
RICHARD ROBERTS@richardjohn_rj
Die dood van haar kind – ’n bendelid endwelmverslaafde – is nou die redewaarom ’n ma van Happy Valley naby
Blackheath wil keer dat ander tieners ookin dié strik beland.
Om te verhoed dat jongmense die verkeer-de paadjie volg, het Judy de Bruyn (45), ’ngemeenskapswerker en ma van wyle Ettie-ne de Bruyn (19), ’n blokwag gestig. Hier-mee wil sy die geweldgeteisterde gebied be-veilig deur dwelms en bendes uit die ge-meenskap te roei – ’n verskynsel wat diesamelewing hier stuk vir stuk verbrokkel.
“My kind is nou dood as gevolg van drugsen toe hy wou uit, was dit te laat,” het Judyvertel.
In ’n onderhoud metTygerBurger by haarhuis verlede week, het sy gesê: “Ek haat niemy kind se moordenaar nie. Ek vra die Heredat hy my moet help, dat ek ’n vergewensge-sindheid moet hê, omdat ek weet as ’n menshaat, kan dit jou siek maak. Jy sit jouselfgeestelik agteruit en geldelik terug. Jymaak jouself dood.”
EnduitSy het kort voor haar kind se dood die
blokwag gestig, wat nou uit 15 ander bekom-merde pa’s en ma’s bestaan. “Ek gaan end-uit met die ding, want ek het nog ’n kind watek grootmaak wat 12 jaar oud is en in die-selfde strik kan beland. Ek het kleinkin-ders. Ons almal het kleinkinders en diswaarom ons die blokwag begin het – om onskinders aan te moedig om nie die dinge tedoen wat verkeerd is nie.”
Die 15 lede patrolleer naweke van midder-nag tot 04:00 die gebied se strate.
Dwelms en bendes, volgens dié ma van
drie, is ’n groot probleem in die gebied – ’nprobleem waarmee sy en haar seun vierjaar lank geworstel het.
Sy het vroeër vertel hoe sy agter geslotedeure met haar seun baklei het, dat die huis-houding in ’n stadium heeltemal verbrok-kel het.
BlaasorkesWeens die vlak van misdaad hier, is daar
nou planne om ’n blaasorkes op die been tebring.
“Party van ons kinders weet nie eens wat’n blaasorkes is nie.”
Die orkes sal bedryf word deur blokwag-lid, Wayne Davids (39), wat self 13 jaar lankin Pollsmoor-gevangenis straf uitgedienhet.
Judy en die res van die ouers wil ook sportby die jonges begin aanmoedig deur aktiwi-teite gereeld aan te bied.
Ongelukkig, sê sy, kniehalter die tekortaan beskikbare grond vir sport, befondsingvir die orkes en gemeenskapsondersteu-ning hul planne.
Ondanks dié uitdagings, het sy reeds haardeel begin doen om kinders van die straataf te kry deur speletjies by haar huis te in-stalleer.
“Dit hou ons kinders darem van die straataf en almal is hier welkom,” het sy gesê.
Judy voel egter groter gemeenskapsbe-trokkenheid is al manier om die euwels indie gebied hok te slaan.
“Ek voel ons almal is te blameer vir mykind wat nie meer daar is nie, want as onsalmal meer uitgereik het na die kinders indie gemeenskap, dan was my kind miskiennog vandag hier.
“Op die oomblik is daar niks vir ons kin-ders om hulle mee besig te hou nie. Daar isniks vir hulle nie.”

Hy het al alles gesien en gehoor in sy 31jaar in die polisiediens, sê die pas afgetredeao. Vernon Paulse van Eersterivier. Daar-om gaan hy nou fokus op grafstene bou.
Paulse het verlede Vrydag amptelik uitdiens getree bydieBellville-polisiekantoorop die “rype” ouderdom van 52 jaar.
In sy 27 jaar by dié kantoor het Paulsesewe stasiebevelvoerders sien kom engaan.
Hy sê wat die meeste verander het oordrie dekades, en waarmee hy die minstevrede kanmaak, is die gebrek aan dissipli-ne en respek onder polisielede.
“Dis niemeer soos in die ou dae nie. Des-tyds is jongmanne direk námatriek polisietoe. Jy kon hulle iets leer.
“Deesdae se manne is in hul laat 20’s enkom uit ’n werk of beroep en besluit danom aan te sluit. Dis taai om vir hulle dissi-pline aan te leer,” sê hy.
Paulse se kantoor was in beheer van ge-sinsgeweldsake. Húl werk was onder meerdie uitreik van lasbriewe, om onderhoudte koördineer en ook om vermiste menseop te spoor.
“Ons het ’n 100%-terugvind-persentasiein die opspoor van vermistemense,” sê hy.“Dit was my passie.”
Sy grootste passie is egter sy gesin. Syoë skitter as hy vertel hoe hy sy vrou, Phili-da, as groentjie-offisier in die MitchellsPlain-polisiekantoor ontmoet het. Diepaartjie is in Januarie 28 jaar getroud.
“Sy het by my uitgekom om ’n saak tekom maak. Die buurman se seun het weg-gehardloop met haar geld. Sy was op kruk-ke. Toe ek die vorms invul, sien ek haar ge-boortedatum. Sy is een dag jonger as ek!”lag hy. “Ek het geweet ons is vir mekaarbestem.” Hy vertel hulle was binne sesmaande getroud. Die egpaar het drie kin-ders, Bevan, Janette en Kayla.
Wanneer Paulse oor Kayla begin vertel,skiet sy oë vol trane.Dié pragkind vanhomwas amper dood weens ’n hartkwaal.
Maar Kayla het bewys sy is ’n aanhouer,soos haar pa. Sy is vanjaar ’n eerstejaar-Matie. “Sy studeer finansiële bestuur.”
Sy planne vir die volgende 50 jaar?“Ek gaan grafstene bou. Maar dit gaan
iets uniek wees – daar is nog nie so ’n pro-duk op die mark nie,” vertel hy.
Sonder om sy geheim weg te gee, vertelPaulse oor dié unieke produk wat glo ’ntiende van die prys van ’n graniet-graf-steen sal kos, en waarvan die lewensduurglo tussen 30 en 40 jaar is – goedkoop ge-noeg om te vervang.
“Dis my planne. Die konsep-projek isreeds by ’n fabriek. ”
En so van polisiediens tot grafstene, hetPaulse verlede Vrydag aan sy kollegas tot-siens gesê.
Sy toekoms – darem aan die regte kantvan die graf – wink.
Ao. Vernon Paulse van die Bellvillepolisie hetdié diens ná 31 jaar vaarwel geroep.

met ’n bakkie stilgehou enaangebied om my en die tweehonde op te laai en huis toe teneem. ’n Seën van Bo!Na ’n redelike gesukkel om
die honde op die bakkie te kry,het hy my met versigtigheidook agterop gehelp. Tuisaangekom, het hy die hondeveilig agter slot en grendelgesit, en my na binne gedra,my selfoon aangegee en gevraof ek verder sal regkom.Leonard, ek dink dis sy

Ons is al amper ’n jaar in dieKaap. Ons het vanaf KwaZulu-Natal verhuis en alhoewel ekgraad 12, ’n bestuursgraad enverskeie ander diplomas het,
kry ek steeds nie werk nie.Ek het ’n vrou en baba vir
wie ek moet voorsien, maar ditmaak geen verskil by ’nwerksaansoek nie. As diewerksplekke nie sê jy isoorgekwalifiseerd nie, dan sêhulle dat hulle jou ’n pos salgee, maar betaal so min dat ditskaars jou vervoerkostes dek.Ek kan amper sê hulle buit
mense uit wat regtig in dienood is. Wat het geword vanhelp jou medemens sodat jyjouself ook kan help? As jyonder is en geen geld het nie,vergeet almal van jou, selfsfamilie. Ja, dis ’n moeilikelewe, maar ek hou vas aan mygeloof en glo dat God ’n uitweghet. Ek dank Hom dat ek en mygesin deur al die swaarkry nogsteeds sterk kan staan.

SLICE OF LIFE
Kinders vanbejaardes het’n groot pligDaar was behoorlik skokgolwe in dienoordelike voorstede oor die sewentienmense wat die afgelope vyf maande in ’ntehuis vir bejaardes in Parow oorlede is.Baie vrae is gevra, beskuldigings is
heen en weer geslinger en ’n ondersoekis selfs nou deur die minister gelas nadie omstandighede in die tehuis.Hierdie spesifieke geval is egter nie
uniek in ons land nie. Hoeveel keer lees’n mens nie in die media van bejaardeswat mishandel, afgeskeep of verwaarloosword nie?Dit sou egter onregverdig wees om net
die vinger te wys na tehuise vir bejaar-des as die groot sondaars. Die meerder-heid sulke instellings versorg oumensemet deernis en empatie.Maar die kinders van bejaardes moet
beslis ook tot verantwoording geroepword. Dis is juis hulle wat meestal dierug draai op diegene wat hulle met liefdegrootgemaak het. Om jou bejaarde ouerbloot te gaan “wegbêre en van hom/haarte vergeet” in ’n tehuis, is heel moontlikdie grootste onreg wat jy teenoor diemensdom kan pleeg.Bejaardes oorleef op liefde en aandag
van hul kinders. Selfs die allerluukstetehuis kan nie daarvoor opmaak nie. Netsoos jy as klein kindjie nie sonder liefde,aandag en versorging van jou ouers konklaarkom nie, is jou verswakte ouers nounet so afhanklik van jou.Dit is dus jou verantwoordelikheid om
toe te sien dat jou ouers in ’n tehuisgeplaas word wat ordentlik na hulleomsien. Nie andersom nie.

Mense met dierekindershet net soveel reg tot die strande as andermense – veral as hulle soos ek, al jare lankhier belasting betaal en nie net kuiergasteis nie.

Wanneer ry hulle die pragtige hondraak? En die ergste was dat ’n mammamet haar baba in ’n stootkarretjie en ekmet my klein hondjies vinnig ’n anderkoers moes kies.

program, wat in Brackenfellsal plaasvind, word tans be-
plan ten einde ’n persentasie van diegerehabiliteerde gevangenes in Suid-Afrika te help om hul lewens positiefte verander, weer werk te kry en ookuiteindelik weer suksesvol by die sa-melewing in te skakel.
Aan die spits van die nuwe veldtogwat 3 000 voormalige gevangenes asmentorswil oplei, is Alpha Suid-Afri-ka. Die veldtog sal ook daarop gemikweesomhierdievoormalige gevange-nes werk te gee en met lewensvaar-dighede toe te rus.
MentorsWanneerhulle asmentors toegerus
word, sal hulle ook ’n spesiale inbel-sentrumkan skakelwaarhulle gratisraad kan ontvang.
Jaun Truter, Alpha-koördineerderby gevangenisse in Wes-Kaapland,het gesê daar word beoog om ’n getalvan 3 000 voormalige gevangenes oordie volgende agtien maande as men-tors toe te rus en te bekwaam.
Die opleidingsprogram, wat be-stuur word deur Alpha en die men-tor-opleidingsorganisasie LifeX-change, word later vanjaar afgeskopby die Versorg-konferensie vir voor-malige gevangenes.
Paul Cowley, uitvoerende direk-teur van die William Wilberforce-trust, sal die hoofspreker wees by diekonferensie, wat op Saterdag 29 No-vember by die Heidekoppie-kerk inBrackenfell plaasvind.
Tans is daar 11 250 gevangenes inSuid-Afrika, wat die negende meesteter wêreld is.
“Altesame 78%van die gevangeneswat vrygelaat word, beland binnetwee jaar weer agter tralies. Altesa-me 70%vandie oortrederswat dieAl-pha-program volg, keer nie weer te-rugnadie gevangenis nie,maarwordsuksesvol by die samelewing inge-skakel,” het Truter verduidelik.
“Ons weet uit ondervinding dat ’nopleidingsprogram wat daarop ge-mik is om voormalige gevangenes asmentors te bekwaam, die beste lang-termyn-resultate waarborg.
“Hierdie oud-gevangenes sal toege-rus word met lewensvaardighede.Ons sal ook probeer om vir hierdiegevangenes werk te verskaf. Die ge-dagte is om met kommersiële venno-te te skakel om aan vrygelate en gere-habiliteerde gevangenes wat ons pro-gramme deurloop het, ’n kans te geeom vir hulle te werk.
“Ons sal ’n CV en getuigskrif vanhierdie gerehabiliteerde gevangenesaan die sake-ondernemings voorsienmet wie ons skakel,” het Truter ver-duidelik.
Steun“Ons beplan om gerehabiliteerde
gevangenes oor ’n lang tydperk te on-dersteun met behulp van die mentor-program,” het Truter verduidelik.
“Die keersy vanhierdiementor-op-leidingsprogram is dat gevangenesnie hulp of werk kry nie en sondersteun in die gemeenskap beland. ’nGroot persentasie keer terug na diegevangenis, omdat daar nie werk, ’nmentor-program, voortgesette bege-leiding, asook lewensvaardighede isnie.”

DESIRÉE RORKE@dezzierorke
Die kunstenaar, Emo Adams, het sy lyf ak-teur gehou om die kwessie van haweloosheiduit te beeld in ’n nuwe musiekvideo wat ver-lede week in Brackenfell, Kraaifontein enBellville verfilm is.
Die liedjie “Wat Sy Naam” is geskryf deurdie plaaslike kunstenaar, Jacques G, ook vanBrackenfell, en handel oor die lief en leed van’n boemelaar wat weer hoop kry en opstaanuit sy omstandighede.
Die boemelaar of “trolliestoter”, soos Ka-penaars hulle noem, word uitgebeeld soos hywakker word op ’n parkbankie en daarna sytrollie deur Brackenfell se strate stoot enplek-plek weggejaag word.
Verskeie bekende bakens soos die CapeGa-te-winkelsentrum en die Blomtuin-sentrumin Bellville kan in die video gesien word,waarmee kykers maklik sal vereenselwig.
Selfs die “reënboog”-plakkerskamp Klein-akker in Kraaifontein was agtergrond tot diestorie, waar die boemelaar laatnag om ’nklein vuurtjie sit om homself warm te maak.
Die regisseur, Skolla Kitshoff, ook vanBrackenfell, het met TygerBurger gesels oordie projek wat almal wat deel was daarvan,baie na aan die hart lê.
“Die liedjie is baie hartroerend en die sto-rie baiediep.Dit sinspeel opveroordelingoordie algemeen. Om te oordeel is ’n menslikeswakheid en mense is geneig om op mekaarneer te sien. Maar tog het ons almal aspira-sies en hoop... maar nie almal kry dieselfdegeleenthede en kanse om dit te bereik nie,”vertel hy. Skolla, wat bekend is vir sy werkin plaaslike musiekkringe, het betrokke ge-raak by die verfilming van die musiekvideonadat hy die woorde van die liedjie die eerstekeer gehoor het.
“Die lot van haweloses is ’n groot brand-punt in Kaapstad en daar gaan amper nie ’ndag verby wat ons nie almal met haweloseste doen kry nie,” sê Skolla.
Emo het aangebied om die rol van die boe-melaar te vertolk nadat hy deur Skolla vandie video te hore gekom het.
“Dis ’n baie mooi storie en ons as kunste-naars wil eintlik maar storievertellers wees.
“Dit was ’n uitdaging om die rol te vertolk,maar dit was iets wat ek nog nie gedoen hetnie en ek wou graag die meer ernstige kantvan myself wys,” sê Emo oor die video envoeg by dat die verfilming vir hom ’n hoogte-punt in sy lewe was.V ’n Skakel na die musiekvideo en onderhoude metEmo en Jacques G is te sien op onswebwerf by www.tygerburger.co.za.
Emo is nou ’n ‘boemelaar’!

Met nog net ’n week oor om jou gunste-ling-kunstenaar te nomineer, lyk dit asofdit die mans is wat voor in die koor ismet name soos Jimmy Nevis, Prime Cir-cle, Theuns Jordaan en Elvis Blue watdalk by die Local is Lekker-konsert gaanoptree.
Aangesien die nuwe reeks van EmoAdams se Jou Show binnekort op ky-kNET uitgesaai gaan word, het Tyger-Burger, CapeGate en Smile 90.4fm be-sluit om ons konsert se naam te veranderom verwarring te voorkom.Local is Lekker is die enigste konsert
in die land waar die publiek besluit wiedie aand moet optree.
Dit sal die derde keer wees dat dié kon-sert in die Liqui-Fruit-amfiteater in diePaarl plaasvind.
Vanjaar sal die gunstelinge op Sater-dag 21 Maart 2015 op die Local is Lekker-verhoog wees.
Die groot vraag is: Wie wil jy daarsien? Lesers, winkelbesoekers en luiste-raars het tot 12:00 op Maandag 24 Novem-ber om hul gunsteling-Suid-Afrikaansekunstenaar te nomineer.
Die enigste riglyn is dat die kunste-naar of groep al ’n liedjie op ’n Suid-Afri-kaanse trefferlys moes hê.
SMS die woord “Treffer”, gevolg deurdie naam van jou gunsteling-SA kunste-naar of groep na 45527. SMS’e kos R1,50.
Die top10 sal op Woensdag 26 Novem-ber bekendgemaak word.
Daarna sal die publiek uit die top10kan stem vir die drie kunstenaars wathulle by die konsert op die verhoog wil
sien.Die drie kunstenaars of groepe met die
meeste stemme, wat dus by die konsertsal optree, sal op 10 Desember in Tyger-Burger en op Smile 90.4fm bekendge-maak word.V Kaartjies vir die konsert is ook vanaf 10 Desember beskikbaar by www.cultivaria.com of bywww.computicket.com.
Mans is nog voor in dié‘Local is lekker’koor
Jimmy Nevis is een van die kunstenaarswat al genomineer is om in die Local isLekkerkonsert op te tree.
Sy naam mag dalk vaagweg bekendklink, maar dan grootliks omdat hyeen van die Snyman-broers is wat al
vir jare optree as die trio genaamd Broers.Cobus Snyman hoef egter geensins terug
te staan vir die twee ander broers (Christoen Nic) nie.
Hy spog met ’n stemwat sal maak dat BryanAdams verkies om ’n ag-tergrondsanger te word.
Cobus is een van vyfsangers – almal met uit-sonderlike stemme – watSondag 7 Desember inKlassieke Kersfees gaanoptree. Hy sal die ver-hoog deel met Corlea Bo-tha, Jannie Moolman,Robbie Wessels en ZanneStapelberg. Die konsertvind weer in die magieseLiqui-Fruit-amfiteater indie Paarl plaas.
Verlede jaar het Cobusdie gehoor op hul voetegehad by die konsert, met’n paar klassieke liederewat hoendervleismooiwas.
“Dit was vir my ’ngroot eer en voorreg om saam met die grootname van ligte klassiek en pop die verhoogte kon deel. Om deel te wees van so ’n mooiprojek was vir my ongelooflik lekker en eksien uit na dié jaar se vertoning.
Feeste“Ons as Broers (Christo, Cobus en Nic) en
Christo en Cobus het al die verhoog gedeelmet Corlea en Robbie by Huisgenoot Skou-spel en ’n hele paar feeste,” vertel Cobus.
Hy is tans druk in die ateljee besig met’n “ongelooflike lekker” projek.
“Ek werk aan Louis Loock se nuwe solo-projek en dit is werklik lekker om saam metsulke musikale kunstenaars te werk.
“Verder skryf ons aan ’n nuwe Broers-al-bum vir volgende jaar en as daar tyd is salek weer aan een of ander soloprojek werk.”
Cobus is baie beskeie oor sy eie talente.Op ’n vraag oor wanneer hy die eerste keer
besef het hy’t ’n stem soos Bryan Adams,was sy antwoord: “Ek dink nie dat ek heelte-mal soos die man klink nie, maar op NuweWinde – ’n CD wat ek en Christo uitgegeehet, het ons net ná Pavarotti and Friends dieliedjie “O Sole Mio” wat hy (Pavarotti) enBryan Adams gesing het opgeneem en dit
was altyd vir die gehorein ons land lekker om tesien en te hoor hoe onsdie nommer vertolk.
“Daar het die BryanAdams-stem ontwikkelen grootgeword.”
JazzrigtingCobus het musiek by
die Universiteit vanKaapstad studeer– in ’njazz-rigting. “Ek het nie’n gunsteling-genre vanmusiek nie. Ek glo uitverskillende genres leeren ontwikkel jy jou eiestyl. Musiek bly ’n kuns-vorm wat alle emosieskan vasvang, en dit isdaar waar jy as kunste-naar met jou gehoorpraat, deur die gevoel enemosie van ’n liedjie aan
hulle oor te dra.”Vir Cobus is die lirieke van ’n lied net so
belangrik soos die melodie.“Dus luister ek baie country en blues en
dan na Afrikaanse sangers soos Koos duPlessis, Lukas Maree en Viljoen Retief.”
Die gehoor sal by vanjaar se KlassiekeKersfees Cobus se weergawe van “O SoleMio” kan hoor, asook ’n weergawe van“White Christmas” saam met Zanne Stapel-berg. Die program is propvol Kersliederewaar die gehoor genooi word om saam tesing, asook heelwat tydlose treffers.
Kaartjies vir Klassieke Kersfees is beskik-baar by www.cultivaria.com of by Compu-ticket. Dis ’n aand vir die hele gesin – so komdus vroeg en geniet die sonsondergang van-af Paarlberg.
. Cobus gesels Vrydagoggend op Og-gendrooi op Tygerberg 104fm om 08:20 oordie konsert, so skakel gerus in.

The 22nd Coronation Double Century is ateam cycling event taking place in Swellen-damonSaturday (22November).

Halfpad deur die jongste reeks seniortweedaagse klubkrieket-wedstryde indie WP verloop sake nog betreklik ge-
lykop vir die meeste spanne in die Tyger-bergstreek.Maar Milnerton en Noordelikes-Good-
wood is albei goed geplaas om oorwinningste beklink. In diePremierligahetDurbanvil-le waarskynlik ’n gulde kans deur die vin-gers laat glip om die Universiteit van Kaap-stad op sy neus te laat kyk.Nadat Nathan Swartz (6/68) en Brandon
Viret (4/34) die Ikeys vir net 129 lopies uitge-haal het, het Durbanville se kolwers self niehond haaraf gemaak nie.
TrefafstandBob Homani (57*) was die enigste speler
wat die Durbies (125) binne trefafstand vandie tuisspan se telling gebring het. Bellville(107/4) het eweneens nog ’n bult te klim omSt. Augustine (244/5 gesl.) te kou. WilliamHantam (41) enCliffie Prinsloo (35) het sover
die beste vir Bellville vertoon.Edgemead (100/6) is in dieselfde bootjie
teenVictoria (225/8 gesl.) nadatMario Stoop(39) die enigste kolwerwaswat diemas opge-kom het.Milnerton (194/7 gesl.) het in die eerste li-
ga die hef in die hand teen Atlantis (151 en26/2), danksy veral Robin van Harte (100),terwyl Noordelikes-Goodwood (205/8 gesl.)ook op die wenpad is teen Bonteheuwel (62en 20/1).
StaatmakersJasonUnderwood (87), BrendonPhilander
(36), Eric Osner (3/15) en Richard Holman(3/20) was die Goodwood-span se staatma-kers.Tygerberg-klub (205) het sy goeie posisie
teen Primrose (108/5) te danke aan veral diegoeie kolfwerk van Shaun Agulhas (83).Kuilsrivier het teen uitskeityd 29/1 gehad
in antwoord op Claremont se 175/9 gesl. DieUniversiteit van Wes-Kaapland se wedstrydteen Ottoman-klub kon weens die nat veldnog nie onderweg kom nie.
