Would you cling to the side of a vehicle for nearly half a kilometre while fighting armed robbers in an attempt to retrieve your cell phone? As strange as it may seem, this is exactly what one Kuils River resident did over the past weekend after being robbed. Jayde Collins (23), a resident from High- bury, was on his way to the train station at about 06:00 on Saturday when he noticed a vehicle driving up and down Nooiensfontein near Dana-rand. “The vehicle stopped and the driver called me over. He asked for directions. He said his cell phone battery had died. He asked if I could call his friend on his behalf. “They seemed like normal people,” Jayde said. Unaware of their intentions, Jayde took out his smart phone and dialled the number. As he punched in the number, the driver, de- scribed as man in his early thirties, grabbed the phone from Jayde’s hand. The vehicle sped off, but with Jayde grab- bing hold of the car’s frame. He clung to the side of the blue VW Volksie for nearly half a kilometre, he explained. “I shouted for help repeatedly, but there was no one in the area. “The driver handed my phone to a woman seated at the back of the vehicle. A third per- son was seated in the passenger’s seat.” Jayde started punching the driver while hanging onto the side of the moving car. “The woman then started hitting me. She also shouted to the driver to take out the gun which he used to threaten me,” Jayde fur- ther explained. While being dragged over the bridge cross- ing the railway with his feet dangling on the road, Jayde continued to fight his attackers. The driver also jumped a set of red traffic lights. Jayde punched the driver of the vehicle as well as the woman who started hitting him from the back. The driver, according to Jayde, then in- structed the unknown woman to hand back the cell phone. “The car pulled over and the woman threw my cell phone on the backseat. I grabbed it, after which they sped off,” the victim ex- plained. Jayde returned home and contacted the police. He found he was injured along his ribs and arm. Winston Davids, spokesperson for the Kuils River Community Police Forum, said it is the first time they’ve heard of attackers using this specific modus operandi. “Our neighbourhood watch normally pa- trols up until 06:00. We also patrol as far as the train station,” Winston said. The neighbourhood watch patrols be- tween 02:00 until 06:00, he explained. Davids warned residents not to resist but rather to step back and be safe. “Rather take down the vehicle’s registra- tion number than fight back. What is more important, your life or a cell phone? “Report the matter to the police and let them handle it further,” Winston said. Captain Isaac van Niekerk, police spokes- person, said the police are investigating the case. “We are going to compile an identikit to see if we can identify the suspects,” Van Ni- ekerk said.

Sowat 20 siek honde en katte is onlangsuit ’n plakkerskamp in Kuilsrivier ver-wyder vanweë dié troeteldiere se swak
gesondheidstoestand en onwenslike lewens-omstandighede.Die verwydering van die diere deur die
Dierebeskermingsvereniging (DBV) vroeërvandeesmaand kom nadat party inwonersvan ’n naburigewoonbuurt die diere-welsyn-organisasie gekontak het en hulle oor diehonde se toestand ingelig het.Die DBV het ingegryp en op Donderdag 22
Januariemet behulpvandie plaaslikepolisieis die honde en katte opgelaai en na die DBVin Grassy Park geneem. Hier is party van diediere uitgesit en ander behandel enweer vry-gelaat.Marlize van Niekerk, ’n inwoner wat die
betrokke dag saammet die DBV by die infor-mele nedersetting in die Haasendal-bos was,het die omstandighede daar ashaglik beskryf– beide vir dier en mens.
Toestand“Die toestand waarin die honde leef en hoe
hulle lyk, het my gevang. Mense kan nog virhulself kos maak en water gaan haal om tedrink, maar hierdie honde het nie die geriefdaarvannie,” hetVanNiekerk in ’n e-pos aanTygerBurger gesê.Volgens haar was daar wel ’n paar van die
diere waarna goed gekyk is. “Maar die paarhondjies bymekaar lyk sleg en word nie naomgesien nie.“Niemand wil eens eienaarskap van hulle
neem nie,” het sy bygevoeg.Van Niekerk, ’n polisielid, het gesê die
DBV is ook nou van plan om van die dierete steriliseer.“Die toestand by die plakkerskamp ismaar
haglik, veral die een gedeelte. Baie gemors lêsommer om die hokkies en daar is nie eerslopende water naby die plek nie.“Blykbaar loop die mense kilometers vir
water. Toiletgeriewe is daar ook nie. Hulledoen sommer hulle ding in die nabye omge-wing,” het sy vertel.Tog sê sy is daar van die sinkhuise wat
mooi versorg is en wat inwoners mooi skoon
hou.“Die honde daar is goed versorg en ’n
mens kan sien hulle is gewoond aan aan-dag.“Die honde wat opgelaai is, is nie heelte-
mal aanmensegewoondnie enwounie aan-geraak word nie,” het Van Niekerk vertel.
BrandsiekWanika Davids, woordvoerder van die
Kaap de Goeie Hoop-DBV, het gesê die hon-de wat na die DBV gebring is, was almal in’n swak toestand en het ’n erge mate vanbrandsiek opgedoen.“’n Totaal van 20 diere (katte en honde)
is opgelaai waarvan 15 pynloos doodge-maak is.”Volgens Davids besoek die DBV daagliks
agtergeblewe gebiede oor die Skiereilandheen.“Drie spanne werk in die gebied,” het sy
gesê. Die spanne sluit in ’n groep inspek-teurs wat diere-mishandeling probeervoorkom en diere verwyder wat ly; die mo-biele kliniek wat primêre veeartsenydien-ste aan die publiek voorsien wat andersinsnie private dienste kan bekostig nie, sowelas ’n opvoedkundige span wat skole besoeken jongmense opvoed oor troeteldiere.

’n Bekende kerkleier en stigter van dieLogos Assemblies of God is die afge-lope naweek ter ruste gelê.
Honderde mense het Saterdag by diesportveld in Sarepta byeengekom om hullaaste respek te betoonaanwyle apostelGertRonald Saal, wat ’n week gelede op 93-jarigeouderdom gesterf het.Saal het onlangs ’n sweer onder sy blad
ontwikkel waaraan dokters nie veel kondoen nie.“In al die 68 jaar wat ons getroud was, was
hy nog nooit siek nie. Hy het nooit gekla nietot onlangs toe. Dis wonderlik, nè?” het syvrou, Lily, in ’n onderhoud verlede weekvertel. Saal, ’n pa van twee en oupa van vierkleinkinders, het bekendheid verwerf asstigter van die Logos Assembly of God – ’nkerk wat sedert sy stigtingsjare na vele an-der dorpe in die provinsie versprei het.Lily (88) het die kerk se beginjare in ’n sag-
te stemtoon vertel. “Ons het tot redding ge-kom en was drie jaar lede van die NG Kerk.Ons het in aanraking gekom met die Pink-ster-gemeente en het drie jaar later besluitombydieAssemblies ofGodaan te sluit.Onshet ’n paar jaar later ons eie gemeente gestiguit die Assembly uit, en so het die Logos As-sembly of God ontstaan.“Dis logos genoem,wantmymanwas baie
lief vir die Here. Logos beteken die LewendeWoord.” Die kerk is in 1979 by ’n woning inKraaifontein gestig waarna dit na Dassies-straat, Kuilsrivier geskuif het. Daarvan-daan het die egpaar uitreikwerk begin doenen sodoende het die kerk na kleiner dorpeversprei. Vandag is daar gemeentes in ondermeer Ceres, Mitchells Plain, Kleinvlei, Eer-sterivier, Stratford Green en selfs tot so veras George. “My man was regtig geroep virdie bediening van die Here. Hy het ’n baiegroot ywer gehad om te werk vir die Here.“My man was baie lief vir die Bybel. Hy
het geen ander boek gelees nie. As hy maargesit en lees het, was dit die Bybel,” sê sy.

Kleinvlei police are investigating a busi-ness robbery following the brazen attackon security guards and personnel at awell-knownretail store’s receivingdepotin Eerste River earlier this week.The three attackers, two ofwhomwere
armed, targeted the Pick n Pay storealong the R102 in Eerste River earlyMonday, the police said.In an email Jarett vanVuuren, general
manager of PicknPay in theWesternCa-pe, told TygerBurger the incident occur-red before the store had opened.“We’re thankful that no-one was inju-
red, and are co-operating with the SouthAfrican Police Service,” Van Vuurensaid.
Kleinvlei police’s station commander,Colonel Vernon Bester, said the attackwas reported at about 07:50.“About three suspects pretended to de-
liver goods at the receiving point at theback of the store.“The suspects gun-pointed the securi-
ty guards and personnel and fled the sce-ne with cash to the value of R450 000which were taken out of the office,” Bes-ter said.The police said no shotswere fired and
no injuries were reported.The suspects, according to Bester ap-
parently fled the scene in a white VWGolf.“The shop was not open for business
at the timeof the robbery,”he confirmed.Forensic experts were also called to
the scene to assist in the investigation.

Despite all efforts by the police to curbcrime in Kuils River, serious offenceshave increased over the past year.
Speaking at the Community Police Fo-rum’s (CPF) annual election recently, Colo-nel Dysin Jacobs, outgoing Kuils River sta-tion commander, said 3 312 arrests weremade over the past year relating to seriouscrimes, with a further 856 arrests relatingto less serious crimes.Serious crimes includemurder, sexual of-
fence, assault, robbery and burglaries.“If you look at the latest crime statistics,
you will note there has been an increase inmurders and house robberies.“That is as a result of emerging gangs, es-
pecially gangs such as the Gazas and Dix-ies,” Jacobs explained.These crimes are especially prevalent in
Sarepta and Kalkfontein. Jacobs said inmost of the arrests, the culprits were young-sters. One way the police have tried to ad-dress this is through Operation Combat, fo-cusing on gangsters and gang activity.Later in the evening a new chair and exec-
utive committee for the CPF were supposedto be elected.It was proposed the exiting committee re-
main unchanged with only the vacant posi-tion of public relations officer needing to befilled.Kalkfontein blockwatch committeemem-
ber Winston Davids was appointed in thisposition.The CPF to serve a five-year term are:The rest of the committee are Angela
Frans (vice-chair), Melanie Jacobs (secre-tary), Lizaan Mare (assistant secretary),Claude Julies (project co-ordinator) and Yv-onne Sipamla (treasurer).

His ability to skilfully and accuratelyaim in the game of rolling ball, alsocommonly known as boccia, has af-
forded Elmon Neli (24) from Blackheath theopportunity to represent his province thisyear at national level.He was recently selected to represent the
Western Province Sports Association forthePhysicallyDisabled andVisually Impai-red (WPSAPD) at the 2015 Nedbank Natio-nal Championship for the Physically Dis-abled. The competition takes place in Jo-hannesburg from 27 March to 2 April.Asked about his emotions following the
announcement, Elmon who is wheelchair-bound, replied: “This year I want to go forgold.”Elmon started playing rolling ball in 2005
at high school while attending Astra School
in Montana. After completion he joined aclub inRondebosch, StGiles, and continuedplaying in tournaments.“This sport is difficult. It is a mind game.
In the game of boccia you have to focus andplay all the angles,” Elmon explains with asmile.Elmon ended up in a wheelchair follo-
wing a blow to the head while performingback-flips at his home in Mthatha in 1996.He cracked his skull and damaged his cen-tral nerve system.Despitehis disability, theyoung man is determined to make a namefor himself on, as well as off the sports field.On the wall of his one bedroom flat at the
Sive Nathi Home for physically challengedpeople in Blackheath where he moved to af-ter the death of his mother in 2001, hangsseveral photos of previous competitions,medals and diplomas.“When I met the WP champions as a yo-
ungster during a tournament in Stellen-bosch years ago for thefirst time, I said I alsowant to be there someday.“When you see the ga-
me it seems boring, butto play it, man! You willsee how nice it is,” El-mon added.As a paraplegic he of-
ten has to rely on thehelp and assistance ofothers. “But when I playthis sport I do not needanybody’s help. Thismakes me feel goodabout myself,” he said.The sport has allowed
him to travel across thecountry. He has visitedPort Elizabeth and beento Johannesburg. “Toplay and win in otherprovinces is an experi-ence for me, that to meis something big,” hesaid.He said the communi-
ty inwhich he stays alsosupports him very well.“Especially the GayleeOutreach Forum andthemembers of the HolyTrinity AnglicanChurch.”V Anyone who wishes to assist Elmon can contact theWPSAPD.

Eskom Western Cape’s new loadshedding schedules, now in place,follows a four-day rotational pat-
tern.What thismeans is that over a four day
pattern, customers will be shed at diffe-rent time slots. “Load shedding shouldbe a fair and equal experience and ournew schedules will provide a balancebetween equity and predictability” indi-cates Alwie Lester, Eskom’s provincialhead.Eskom in the Western Cape has taken
into account the custo-mer feedback. “We ha-ve engaged regularlywith different seg-ments of our customerbase and asmuch as weare trying to avoid loadshedding,when it is im-plemented we want togive our customers a better experiencetherefore rotating the load fairly acrossall our customers” Lester explains.The previous load shedding schedules
were from06:00 to 22:00 in stage 1 and sta-ge 2. “Our new schedules are designed toaccommodate a 24-hour cycle in all threestages,” Lester clarifies.The schedules will allow customers to
experience load shedding at different ti-mes than before. The new schedules pro-vide a more frequent rotation and are tobe implemented in accordance with thedays of the month following a four daypattern. The schedules are also designedto ensure where the City of Cape Townand Eskom have shared networks, thecustomers will not experience different
load shedding time slots.How to interpret the new load shed-
ding schedules:1. Identify your area block number
using the alphabetical list of the Eskomsupply areas;2. Identify the load shedding stage that
has been declared;3. Look at the day of the month for the
relevant stage declared;4. Find your block number in the time
slot that you will be shed in;The new load shedding schedule and
the alphabetical Eskomsupply area list can befound in this week’snewspaper. Customersare requested to keepthese schedules and beprepared in the event ofload shedding. Custo-mers can also access the
Eskom website or Eskom Western Capewalk-in-centres for the schedules.Stages of load shedding:Stage 1 allows for up to 1000 MW of the
national load to be shed.Stage 2 allows for up to 2000 MW of the
national load to be shedStage 3a allows for up to 3000 MW of
the national load to be shed.Stage 3b allows for up to 4000 MW of

Proposed regulations to clamp down on“illegal modifications and illegal
racers” has met with strong opposi-tion.Thenewregulation to be added to theTraf-
fic Regulations Act, made public two weeksago, seeks to “impose stricter fines on illegalracers and cars that are modified”, says amedia release.Meanwhile City of Cape Town safety and
security mayco member JP Smith said histeam will impose stricter fines on driversfound guilty of taking part in illegal races.However, he said media reports law en-
forcement will “target drivers of modifiedvehicles” are “worryingly inaccurate”.“For the record, the City’s Traffic Service
is mandated to enforce the provisions of theNational Road Traffic Act No. 93 of 1996.[This is] a national piece of legislationwhichstates anymodification of or tamperingwitha vehicle’s safety design renders the vehicleunroadworthyunless it is done by themanu-facturer ora registeredbodybuilder,” Smithsays.
Driving in fearBut car enthusiasts and the after-market
industry want clarity on what this regula-tion will mean in practical terms.Cape TownCar Enthusiasts (CTCE) repre-
sentative Kersten Greybe says confusionhas many motorists driving in fear.“People are scared to even just drive their
cars to the corner shops since the announce-ment. Nobody knowswhat is happening andno answers have been given and we need toknow exactly what this means for the CapeTown car culture,” she says.She agrees it is good to clamp down on ille-
gal racing as it “endangers the car culture
in the province”. “Clamping down on illegalracers I can understand as they are a hazardon the road. But to paint everybody with thesame brush is horribly unfair.”She adds that manymotorists take part in
events at Killarney Raceway, but immedi-
ately after events “we find ourselves in aroadblock, just outside the venue. What isthe point of practising your sport legally butyou’re victimised anyway?”She started an online petition to prevent
the proposed regulation being passed and
has so far gathered 20 000 signatures.“We want our voices to be heard. For too
long we have been underdogs and we havenow decided to educate ourselves with re-gard to the proposed [regulation]. We aren’tartists with canvasses so our masterpiecesare our cars,” she says.Ghost Squad officers have, meanwhile,
been fining drivers of modified vehicles andeven confiscating their car licence discs.Registered tuner shops say they fear the
after-market industry will be under threatshould the bylaw impose stricter laws onanybody with a modified vehicle.Yaseen Abrahams, of CPi Performance In-
novation Cape Town, says they are “highlyconcerned” over the outlawing of carmodifi-cations.
Legal modification“CPi only engages in legal modification of
cars and ourwork is of the highest standard.Outlawing modifications will have a hugeimpact on the industry. Surely if individualsabide by the law it is their right to modifytheir cars as they wish,” Abrahams says.“CPi acknowledges that many people en-
gage in illegal street racing, but we promoteand support the legal usage of modifiedcars.”The regulations are to be in effect inApril,
but Smith adds the enactment of the regula-tions is the responsibility of the provincialtransport division. “TheCity has lobbied forthe inclusion of impoundment of vehicleswhere owners are caught participating in il-legal street races, steep vehicle release feesto act as a further deterrent, stricter penal-ties for motorists (including prison) espe-cially those who try to evade the law whenconfronted, and suitable penalties for spec-tators at illegal street races to be includedin the Act,” says Smith, who adds fitmentsby registered after-market tuners are legal.
Modification clampdown feared
Proposed new regulations to stamp out illegal racing have been met with disbelief by themodified motoring fraternity. Many claim it will be difficult to enforce and say they’re beingvictimised because of the assumption that modified cars are used in illegal races. PHOTO: CHEVONBOOYSEN

Ná ses toegewyde jare as hoof van dieKuilsrivier-polisiekantoor sê die sta-siebevelvoerder, kol. Dysin Jacobs,
vandeesweek vaarwel aan sy kollegas by diékantoor.Jacobs, ’n gebore Bolander, het Maandag
as hoof van die polisie inRavensmead oorge-neem,waarhy soortgelykedissipline envor-dering wil implementeer.Hoewel hy sy span by Kuilsrivier gaan
mis, is die skuif – ’n besluit deur die provin-siale polisiebestuur – iets wat dié pa vantwee met ope arms verwelkom.
Hegte bandJacobs, wat al 28 jaar diens in die polisie
agter die rug het, het op 1 Maart 2009 die lei-sels as hoof van die Kuilsrivier-polisie oor-geneem en het oor die jare heen ’n hegtebandmet die gemeenskap, sowel as sy perso-neel, opgebou, vertel hy.“Die doel van die oorplasing is omdie ken-
nis wat ek hier opgebou het, daar te gebruiken om dienslewering in die polisiewyk te be-vorder,” het Jacobs vertel.Hy beskryf die oorplasing as net nog ’n
stap in sy groeiproses as leier.“Ek is ’n persoon wat daarvan hou om te
doen wat van my verwag word, maak niesaak wat die omstandighede is nie.”
UitdagingsVan die uitdagings wat hy as hoof van die
polisie oor die jare aangepak het, sluit in diemoeilike totstandkoming van die gemeen-skapspolisieforum – iets wat nou floreer.“Destyds kon dit nie aan die gang kom nie
weens die probleme wat die lede onder me-kaar ervaar het.”Nog ’n uitdaging wat hy baas moes raak,
is die misdaadsituasie in Kalkfontein. “Hoe-
wel dit ’n klein deel van die gebied is, is ditkompleks – merendeels omdat dit ’n armgemeenskap is.“Die meeste mense is oorspronklik van
die platteland en as gevolg van sekere so-sio-ekonomiese faktore is hullemoeilik omte polisieer.“Die mense wat die misdaad pleeg en
dwelmhuise bedryf, teer op armes en diekwesbares,” het Jacobs gesê.
VerskilDis sywerkservaringwat hy in dié gebie-
de opgedoen het, wat hy nou in Raven-smead wil gebruik om ’n verskil te maak.“Die eerste ding wat ek wil doen is om
vas te stel hoe die werkerskorps lyk, dieswakpunte en sterkpunte van die perso-neel bepaal en vasstel watter stelsels hullein plek het en of dit werk.“Ek wil kyk na die samestelling van die
gemeenskap en die gevare in die gebied endan probeer om strategieë toe te pas wat salwerk. Dinge gaan natuurlik nie oornag beterraak nie; dis ’n proses.”
OpvolgerOor sy opvolger by die Kuilsrivier-polisie-
kantoor is Jacobsheeltemal tevrede. “Die per-soonwas eintlik die voormalige bevelvoerdervan die Ravensmead-polisie.
“Ek dink die inkomende bevelvoerdergaan ’n goeie bestuurspan erf,” het Jacobsgesê.’n Span, wat hy sê, hy verskriklik sal mis.“Dis mense wat selfstandig kan funksio-
neer en weet wat van hulle verwag word.“Ek gaan die kameraderie mis, die goeie
samewerking wat ek gekry het en dan beslisook die area, veral die mooi wynlande,” hethy bygevoeg.

Knitwits bitten by the blanket bugMAGRIET THERON

“Mymother is 91 anddespite arthri-tis, she started knitting blanketsfor the 67 Blankets for Madiba
drive and it has given her a new lease on life,says Terry Milne from Fish Hoek. “Shecould not be here today, because she is sofrail, she’ll get blown over by the wind.”Terry spoke toTygerBurger at the celebra-
tion of 67 Blankets for Madiba’s first birth-day in the Company Gardens on 27 January.Since the launch of the cause in Johannes-burg last year, it has gained support fromacross theworld andhas over 2 000Facebookmembers who call themselves Knitwits, andseveral groups in Cape Town who regularlymeet to make blankets for the poor.Youdonot need to be awoman to be aKnit-
wit.
Household industryJohan Beetge from Plattekloof says he be-
came so attached to the crocheted blanket heworked on for months last year, he slept un-der it the night before he donated it to thecause.“My husband took up looming and he
made an enormous blanket. He is a perfec-tionist and has become proficient in thequalities of wool, so 67 Blankets has becomea whole industry in our household,” saysTerry Milne.Terry is also involved with a group of
women in Masiphumelele in Kommetjiewho knit squares, and she teaches childrenat primary schools to loom and knit, as partof their life skills curriculum.These squaresare then sewn together by volunteers tomake blankets.The original 67 Blankets’ aimwas to make
67 blankets to hand over to charity on Man-delaDay in 2014. They exceeded that numberby hundreds.Now they are taking the challenge to the
next level, because, saysBryoniDawson, theCape Town ambassador, people will always
need blankets.“We are on deadline. We need 21 000 blan-
kets from all around South Africa to placeat the feet of Madiba’s statue at the UnionBuildings on 21 April, to celebrate our 21years of democracy,” says Carolyn Steyn,the driving force behind the group.“Even inmates in Zonderwater and Diep-
sloot prisons are knitting,” says Bryoni.She says this drive has grown into a huge
outpouring of goodwill.“We are a group of six women who get to-
gether twice a month to consolidate, bringdonations, share out and knit. We socialiseand talk about other projectswewant to do,”says Cathy Dippnall.
“Most of the women in our group did notknow each other before 67 Blankets was es-tablished and now we have become closefriends.
Thirsty work“There are a lot of very enthusiastic peo-
ple. There are groups across all the suburbswho meet every week, get sponsorship anddeliver.”Charmaine Damstra from Plumstead is
working on her eighth blanket this year.“Our group meet every last Wednesday of
the month from 19:00 to late, or until all the
champagne is finished. We get very thirsty,it’s hard work you know,” she says with awink.“This project is like a bug that bit us and
we cannot get rid of it,” says Florence Reddyfrom Grassy Park.“Housework and cooking has become sec-
ondary. I take my crocheting everywhere Igo, and if I can’t take it along, I won’t go,”she says.V Visit the 67 Blankets for Madiba Facebook pageto become involved or donate wool. The organisationdoes not have a bank account and does not acceptmoney as donations.

Pupils discover theycan grow vegetables

“Look mom, I can grow a tomatoplant!” Thanks to the Cangro pro-ject, sponsored by N1 City Mall
and TygerBurger, each Grade 3 learner atparticipating local primary schools inGoodwood got a tiny tomato plant lastweek.For the next eight weeks, they have to
look after it. And then, when the time co-mes, they will have a show and tell at theschool and the “Tomato Grower of the Ye-ar”will be crowned at the shopping centre.Foundedby siblings Jody andDianeKra-
mer, Cangro is based on the “magic” of theupside down can – a trick discovered al-most by accident with a tomato growing intheir back garden. By exploring the con-cept further and asking “how can we growtomatoes in a fun and practical way”, thesiblings were able to transform 30 000 cansfound in a dump into a thriving educatio-nal concern – one that has become a valua-ble teaching aid to replace the old-fashio-ned “cotton wool and bean” method.Last year N1 City Mall, in association
withTygerBurger, brought theCangropro-ject to life for local learners. The initiativewas the first of its kind to run in the Wes-tern Cape, and was met with huge successand enthusiasm from teachers, parentsand children alike.This year learners from Goodwood Park
Primary School, Koos Sadie Primary andRuyterwacht Primary are participating inthe project.Currently in progress, the eight-week
initiative started at the end of January andwill run until April.To mark the start of the project, the chil-
dren were first treated to a special Cangroplay, written and directed by Deon Opper-man and performed by Tessa Dalton. Fromthere the planting sessions began, with
each child being asked to water, feed andcare for their very own tomato plant – theultimate aim being to grow the biggestplant of all.Enthusiasm for the project so far has
been infectious, and while learning hasbeen taking place at the same time, the newapproach to teaching elements such as theimportance of soil, bugs, photosynthesis,pollination and seed dispersal has madetheGrade 3 curriculumcomealive inanewand excitingway. As the project continues,the children will continue to learn as well,coming to understand the essential valueof sustainability, responsibility, respect,and caring.For now the children’s plants are being
left to grow, but between 27 March to 12April the 30 finalists and their plants willbe showcased in the centre with public vo-tes determining the overall winners.This activity will coincide with the N1
City Mall Kids Expo, between 27 to 29March, which will incorporate Cangroworkshops for the public.

Mafia sitagter dievlaag vanslentersBRENDEN RUITER
@ruitervaniewind
Die sogenaamde Swart Mafia isglo aan die stuur van ’n slenterwat niksvermoedende mense
duisende rande uit die sak jaag en ditblykdie polisie ismagteloos omhullete stop.TygerBurger berig reeds die laaste
twee weke oor mense wat landwyddeur slinkse skelms uit hul geld ver-kul word. Waar die aanvanklike be-rig na een voorval verwys het, blykdit nou daar is net gekrap aan die op-pervlak van ’n reuse-sindikaat watmet gesofistikeerde slenters menseuit hul swaarverdiende geld verkul.’nManvanKaapstad,wat anoniem
wil bly, sê hywas vir jare ’n belangri-ke skakel in dié misdaadfamilie, watdeur ene Busi uit Port Elizabeth be-dryfword. Volgens hom is die slenterbaie groter as wat mense dink endaar is ten minste 140 motors metvier lede van die mafia in elke kar,wat aan die game deelneem.
MoeilikHy vertel: “Dit gaan moeilik wees
omdiemafia te stop.Die slenterwordreeds 46 jaar lank beoefen en daar isnog niemand daaroor vervolg nie.“Ons noem dit die game, want dit
is wat dit is. Ná die tyd word daar ge-lag oor hoe gullable mense is.” Vol-gens die man word mense wat in dieslenter gevang “Zopas” genoem. “Diehele game duur so drie ure en as allesklaar is, split ons die geld en stuur virBusi sy deel. Die geld word ook nooitby ’n bank inbetaal nie, maar byShoprite. Busi sal sommer iemandR20 betaal om die geld af te haal, so-dat hy nie geëien kan word nie. Ekhet so tussen R30 000 en R80 000 permaand verdien, maar die grootbaaskan so R800 000 per maand verdien.“Diemotorswaarmee ons gery het,
was met radar-tegnologie toegeruswat ons ’n aanduiding gee van waarverkeerspolisie of padblokkades is.Wanneer ons iemand ingeloop het,spring ons in die motors en jaag na’n ander dorp. By geleentheid het onsom10:00 geldby iemand inPortEliza-beth gevat en om 13:00 was ons inKnysna.”
SlagoffersDie geldwat gebruikword om slag-
offers se oë te laat rek, is niks andersas Zimbabwiese dollars nie.“Ons het net bo-op elkeen ’n R100-
noot gesit sodat mense kon dink diehele pak is geld. Ek is al deur die poli-sie gevang met ’n sak vol van diéwaardelose note.” Dit was ook nie syenigste noue ontkoming nie.“By geleentheid het ’n ou wat ek
twee dae tevore ingeloop het, my by’n winkel herken. Hy het my gegrypen na ’n polisiebakkie wat naby wasgesleep en gesê ek het sy geld ver-duister. My makkers wat naby was,het met vervalste polisie-identiteits-dokumente gekom en gesê ek werkonder ’n dekmantel. Hulle het mylaat gaan.”Hy sê op enige gegewe oomblik is
die sogenaamde “blokkers” besig omna nuwe slagoffers te soek.“In Voortrekkerweg ry ’n silwer
Toyota Tazz, ’n blou Volvo, ’n rooiHonda en ’n swart Corolla rond. Hul-le wag net vir hul prooi.”’n Jaar gelede het die man besluit
om nie meer deel te wees van diegroep nie.“Ek het die grootbaas geld geskuld
en moes onder dwang vir hom werkom my skuld af te betaal.“Vandag leer ek vir ’n pastoor en
het berou oor al die dinge wat ek ge-doen het.”

Swimming is more thana sport, it be a life saverGARY VAN DYK
@gvdcapejazz
While Western Province Aquatics arepromoting swimming as a sport,they’re also making people aware
that it is a vital life skill in all areas.Briane Reynolds, president of Western
Province Aquatics, says swimming can bea healthy pastime but it is more importantin relation to safety.
“We are on a mission to make peopleaware of the importance of safety in water,at pools or beaches,” he said.
“Many parents are becoming aware ofthis and take steps to get their childrenswimming, but we want to highlight a fewvital steps one should take when enrollingyour child into a swimming programme.”
He said there are many swim schoolsavailable, but not all are certified to the cor-rect standards, or registered to WesternProvince Aquatics. “We as the custodiansof the sport are vigilant with regards to therequirements one needs in order to openlearn-to-swim programmes.
A few very important criteria needed forswim teachers/coaches to be registered toWP Aquatics/Swim South Africa are:
. Level 1 first aid certificate;
. Official police clearance;
. Swim South Africa and WP certifica-tion (completed learn-to-swim instructor’scourse);
. Proof of annual registration to WPA/Swimming SA; and
. The learn-to-swim school be registeredto WPA.
“Many swim schools don’t comply withthe necessary safety and qualification re-quirements,” continued Reynolds.

With lyrics about Cape Town suburbsand the use of colloquial terms, in-ternational artist Charl “Babyboy”
Pilwan is celebrating his hometown in hisnew single.Raised in Retreat, Babyboy has spent the
past 13 years in China and America, wherehe works as a performer and promoter.He’s worked with some of the industry’s
biggest international acts, such as ChrisBrown,Nelly andNe-Yo, andachieved consi-derable success with his ownmusic in coun-tries like England andPortugal. But now thesinger is ready to come home.Babyboy plans to do this by promoting his
music locally and creating a fan base, whichwill allow him to work in Cape Town again.He will be visiting the Mother City to pro-
mote his new single, Apple Green Datsunwhich features Afrikaans rapper Die Bar-heid and saxophonist Donveno Prins.“I wrote Apple Green Datsun, in just one
eveningabroadwhen Iwas incrediblyhome-sick,” Babyboy explains.He says he knew he wanted “a full horn
section with a vibrant Kaapse Klopse soundthat evoked and brought to life good memo-ries of Cape Town”.Babyboy met Die Barheid when they per-
formed on the CTV show, Hip Hop Avenue.As soon as they finished filming he took DieBarheid to the studio to let him listen to thenew music he has been working on.“The moment Die Barheid heard Apple
GreenDatsun, we both knew it was the trackI would feature him on.”Babyboy rates Donveno as a consummate
professional and says he immediately un-derstood his vision.
“Onceyouhave experienced thebrillianceof Donveno you understand how he is inspi-red by the music and he came up with hissax solo on Apple Green Datsun in the mo-ment.“Although Babyboy has already performed
Apple Green Datsun at the V&A WaterfrontAmphitheatre inDecember, the songwill getits official launch this weekend.Babyboy will be at the African Drum Café
inElsies River on Saturday. Tickets cost R40at the door, but can also be booked on 079785 2233.He’ll also be at Mzoli’s from 15:00 on Sun-
day 8 February. Entrance is free as long asyou purchase meat at the venue.The song will be available on iTunes fans

Jazz academy gives youth ataste of what music can doGARY VAN DYK
@gvdcapejazz
“If music be the food of love....”While Shakespeare may have wanted it to
just be “love” an initiative in Bonteheuwelis giving some young people much morewith a discovery of love for music, and thepotential their talent has.The Jazz Yard Academy may only have
started in 2013 but they’ve already built areputation for dynamic performances.On Sunday they were invited to perform
at the SomethingGoodSunday at Inside onthe Greens lounge at the driving range inWynberg and the crowd did not want to letthem go home.“They were only supposed to do one set,”
says Chris Petersen, who heads the teach-ing. “After they did the one set the ownerbegged me to have them do some more. Peo-ple just fell in love with them.”The academy was the dream of Gino Oliv-
er who wanted to use music as a catalyst toshow youth in the area that they can live ful-
filling lives if they have positive dreams.“Through music they can realise their po-
tential,” he says.“The also learn the value and rewards of
discipline, hard work and to express them-selves through creativity.“Now they realise all that hard work was
worth it when people enjoy their performan-ces.”Chris agrees, adding they also realised
how exhilarating it can be on a stage.“Thismusic has liberated somanyof them
who were shy at first.”OnSaturdayyouwill be able to catch them
in action when they host an open day at theBonteheuwel Multi-purpose Centre in Jak-kalsvlei Road from 15:00.“Problem is that we do not have enough
experienced teachers to help regularly.There are many children who want to bepart of us but we are struggling.“My hope is there are retired musicians
who can help us make a difference.”V For more information about the project or openday call Judith on 079 493 1233.

Wanneer Bellville se senior krieketspan naalle waarskynlikheid eerskomende Sater-dag ’n oorwinning in sy tweedaagse kragme-ting teen die Universiteit van Kaapstad be-klink, sal daar nie onsekerheid by die klub-beamptes wees oor wie om as die speler vandie wedstryd aan te wys nie.
Met die wegspring in die jongste reekswedstryde die afgelope naweek het Luke Pe-tersen die merkwaardige boulsyfers van9/27 behaal en daarmee grootliks daartoe by-gedra dat die Ikeys vir ’n skamele 57 lopiesuitgehaal is. Petersen het daarna met 42 lo-pies ook die beste met die kolf gevaar in Bell-ville se eerste beurt.
Schaughn van Greunen (32) het ook gehelpdat die Bellvilliete (233/8, gesl.) ’n eerste-beurt-voorsprong van 176 lopies verkry het.UK kolf in sy tweede beurt voort op 54/3.
Durbanville (227/7 gesl.) en WP-klub (237),die twee voorlopers op die punteleer in dietopafdeling van die eerste liga, is in ’n kwaai
tweestryd gewikkel. Indien Pieter Malan(119), Tinashe Chimbambo (49) en Mark deStadler (5/73) beter ondersteuning van hulspanmaats gekry het, sou die Durbies niehierdie geringe eerstebeurt-agterstand ge-had het nie. Edgemead (101 en 6/1) voer ’nopdraande stryd teen St. Augustine (227).
Nadat Milnerton (43) ’n vrotsige beginteen Helderberg (177/8, gesl.) gehad het, bak-lei hy darem nou terug met sy tweede beurtop 117/4. Matthew Snyman (53*) en RyanKarsten (33) het hul bes gedoen om Milner-ton weer te laat stem dikmaak.
Die Universiteit van Wes-Kaapland (155/9gesl., en 93/2) het sy wedstryd teen Tyger-berg-klub (57 en 190) reeds Sondag met ’n agt-paaltjie-sege beklink.
Shaun Gomes (45*), Nkululeko Serame(5/58) en Esmund van Wyk (3/7) was dieUWK-uitblinkers, terwyl Shaun Agulhas(52), Neil Abrahams 30*) en Luwaaz Septem-ber (4/62) probeer walgooi het vir die besoe-kers. Kuilsrivier (102) is tot ’n opvolgbeurtgedwing deur Montrose (235/6 gesl.).
Luke (9/27) laatIkeys bontstaan
Die senior krieketspan van Brackenfell(222/9) het met sy sege van 81 lopies die afge-lope naweek oor Paarl verseker dat hy binnetrefafstand bly van die Maties, voorloper opdie punteleer in die Boland se Premierliga-kompetisie.
Grant Edmeades (64), Wiaan Smit (54 en
3/12) en Brendon Adams (47) was die Brakkewat grootliks vir die oorwinning verant-woordelik was.
Kraaifontein se Oostelikes (166/5) was ookte sterk vir Darling (126) ná veral stewige by-draes deur Helvin Manuel (37*) en CliveBooysen (30 en 3/14). – (Sarel Burger).
Brakke bly binne trefafstand van trofee
Daar is verkeerdelik berig in 28 Januarie sekoerant “Neem teen bestes in wêreld deel –skuts mik hoog” dat die vier junior Protea-pistoolskuts, wat aan vanjaar se The HagueIntershoot (Nederland) gaan deelnaam, lede
is van die Durbanville-teikengeweer(DTR)-klub.

Bosman has 50 year karate bash
Hennie Bosman has made many special appearances in Japan during major tournaments.
STEHAN SCHOEMAN
Fifty years ago, when Hennie Bosmanattended his first karate class he hadno idea what a remarkable impact this
ancient martial art would have on his life.The first evening he walked into the dojo
where everyone was fighting and shouting,retains its freshness in his memory.
In 1975 he opened his first dojo in LoopStreet, Cape Town while still in the SA Po-lice Service, and in 1978, after resigningfrom the police, he opened dojos in Durban-ville, Brackenfell, Kuils River andWelgemoed.
Bosman, who is the chairman of Kyok-ushin-kan Africa and owner of theWelgemoed Kyokushin-kan dojo with 38branches in the northern suburbs, livesand breathes karate.
Being the African chairman is not aneasy job. He has over 30 000 karateka in 10countries under his guidance. Poverty,lack of training facilities, funds and equip-ment, as well as challenges in respect oftravelling, make things very difficult.
Celebrations“We have big things planned for this
year to celebrate my 50 years of involve-ment in karate. We are going to have an in-ternational tournament, an internationalcamp, a gala dinner and host a golf day.Kancho Royama, our international chair-man, will visit South Africa in May to at-tend the international camp in Stellen-bosch and an international tournament.
“I have met so many remarkable peoplein life and whether they are still doing ka-rate or not, I invite everyone to get in touchand be part of the celebrations with me andmy family, as well as my students.
“I calculated that I must have taughtabout 15 000 students during the 40 yearsof teaching in the northern suburbs. It willbe so good to see people that I shared a lotof time with on the dojo floor,” said Bos-
man.It was his mother who sent him to karate
classes. “She wanted me to learn how to de-fend myself as I was bullied at school. Thatdecision set the tone for the rest of my life.”
He has represented South Africa in tradi-tional karate, kickboxing and Kyokushin.
“It was difficult times as we had to sneakinto overseas countries and sometimestake part in secret. I also represented Alge-ria and Botswana in Japan as South Africawas not allowed to compete. In Dublin, Ire-land we had a tournament in a snookerroom in a hotel,” recalls Bosman.
One of his highlights were when he wonthe world senior karate championships inOsaka, Japan in 2001. “I was so proud!”
Movie stars“Karate has opened so many doors for
me. I’ve played in numerous movies locallyand internationally, working with starslike Clint Eastwood, Wesley Snipes, MattDamon and Morgan Freeman to name afew. In March this year, the film Momen-tumwill be released, where I had the privi-lege to torture the James Bond girl, OlgaKurylenko. Unfortunately I mostly have
the part of the bad guy. I have also travelledextensively and seen a lot of this beautifulplanet.”
Bosman has also worked with the othersportsmen including the Sharks rugbyteam where he assist them with new ideason tackling and defence.
“I also had the honour of working withthe Springboks for one session in CapeTown under Peter De Villiers and assistedthe Springboks Sevens under Paul Treu.”
Bosman has always had the interests ofhis karateka at heart and at any given timehas students in Japan on a training course.
Romano Mento and Matthys Laubscherare currently undergoing an intense three-year training course and when they returnnext year, will share their knowledge withthe junior students.
Big plansShihan Hennie has big plans for his jun-
ior karateka this year. He invited hisfriend Sensei Chinone from Japan, whowill visit the Welgemoed dojo in Februaryto help prepare the karateka for the upcom-ing provincial and national champion-ships.
Bosman will also attend the annual in-structors’ camp in Japan from 6-8 March.The top instructors in the world meet hereto further their knowledge.
“I have dedicated my life to karate andit gives me great satisfaction see the talentthe youngsters show in class. It gives mea sense of relief to see that the future of ka-rate is alive and well,” said Bosman.
Kyokushin now has separate recogni-tion from traditional karate at Sascoc andhe is the representative for Africa in theKyokushin World Union. They are in theprocess of including Kyokushin in the 2024Olympic Games.
All his old karateka and new studentsare invited to join the celebrations. Phonethe dojo on 021 913 1600 or join the facebookgroup www.facebook.com/kyokushinsa.
