. From page 1.On Sunday the Elsies River Multi Stake-
holder Forum hosted the Positive Virus In-terfaith Youth Programme at the AdriaanseCivic hall, and many speakers echoed theneed for communities to band together inthe fight against crime.
While MEC for community safety Dan Pla-to was there with a strong message of sup-port for the initiative in Elsies River, it wassome of the youth speakers that highlightedthe need to fight the root causes of crime thatare destroying the youth.
Deon Klein was one of the speakers whospoke with passion about growing up in anarea where there were no positive role mod-els for the youth.
“My biggest influence in my life as ayoung person was a major gangster in thearea,” he said.
“I looked up to him and all I wanted to dowas show him that I could do everything badthat he wanted me to do.
“It was nothing for us to find animals likecats and dogs in the area and torture and killthem, just for pleasure, and I did not realisethe evil that I was being led to.
“I have been through the worst of this
kind of life and have been blessed to be ableto turn my back on it, but we need more pro-grammes out there to show the children thatthere is no hope for them in that kind of life,”he said.
Outside the hall a group of young boys andgirls from a nearby school, agreed withKlein’s story pointing out that there weretoo many horror stories of friends who hadfallen into this trap of crime.
One of the young girls (who did not wantto be named) was particularly outspokenabout the need for positive role models.
“Too many of us are influenced by nega-tive role-models that we see on televisionand in music,” she said.
“The girls look at some of these things andall they see is how the must be ‘bad’ to bepopular, and they live out these fantasies bystarting to have no respect for themselves.
“That is when the boys, and the gangsters,start abusing them, they get pregnant andtheir whole future is destroyed. As youngpeople we want the chance to achieve, andthe government must start doing somethingmore than forming gang units.
“The root of our problems must be de-stroyed.”

In a bid to assist community memberswith obtaining a learner’s licence, awhopping amount has been allocated bySubcouncil 4.
The sum of R135 000 has been allocated toassist 50 people to obtain their learner li-cence.
This announcement was revealed in thesubcouncil meeting which was held at theParow offices on Thursday.
The process will be open to anyone in theappropriate age category who wants a learn-er’s licence.
Interested people can apply to be partici-pants when advertising becomes availablesoon.
“The main objective of the project is to as-
sist selected community members in obtain-ing a learner’s licence in Code 08 category,”said subcouncil 4 chairperson Clive Justus.
“The underlying goal is to provide a possi-ble source of livelihood or occupation andskills development for the youths consider-ing that some of them have not had the op-portunity for formal education and henceare unskilled rendering them unemploya-ble.”
He says this decision follows after it hasbecome increasingly clear that driving is anessential socio-economic skill for a majorityof South Africans.
“The transportation sector has been asource of employment for many people par-ticularly those from disadvantaged commu-nities who have been able to make a livingoff driving as a profession.
“This demand for drivers has not abated
over the years; if at all trends show an in-crease in the demand for better skilled driv-ers in the country. A valid driver’s licencehas become a prerequisite for most publicand private sector jobs without which em-ployment is never guaranteed.”
He added driving has become an employa-ble skill which facilitates the entrance ofSouth Africans into the job market either asdrivers or any other occupation that re-quires the possession of a driver’s licence.
“We have five wards in Subcouncil 4 and10 people from each ward will stand a chanceto apply and be a participant,” Justus ex-plained.
“We want everyone to take up this oppor-tunity. They will have their learner’s licencefor a year and will be able to accumulate themoney to obtain their driver’s licence,” headded.
Helping youth get a licence
The Elsies River police want you to attenda special meeting that will be held at the Civ-ic Centre in Halt Road on Tuesday 3 July.
Starting at 18:00 the provincial police com-missioner General Arno Lamoer will be at-tending and will be in discussion with mem-bers of the public about various aspectsabout fighting crime in the area.
. Police in the area are also serious aboutongoing theft of garbage bins.
They are warning that people found roam-ing the streets with bins will have to produceproof of residence to avoid prosecution.
Police are also calling on residents to bealert and interact with neighbours to havebins taken onto their properties after gar-bage collections. Neighbours can also con-tact the police on 021 928 1400 if they suspectthat bins are being stolen.
. Captain Pierre Jordaan, communica-tions officer for Elsies River SAPS, has
pointed out that there has been an increasein cellphone theft from young victims.
“Youth are not taking appropriate carewhen it comes to using their cellphones inpublic,” he said.
“They are distracted when using theirphones, especially in areas where they couldbe at risk. They should be aware of their sur-roundings and not use their phones wherethey become easy targets for criminals.”
. Police are also looking for assistancewith identifying the body of a man who wasfound dead under the bridge in ValhallaDrive near Matroosfontein.
The deceased was dressed in brown denimjeans with blue shorts underneath, a greenfleecy jacket and he also had a pair of blacktakkies.
Any information that could help withidentification to Warrant Officer Isak Wit-booi on 021 933 0308 or 079 184 5888.

Special needs passengers will be celebratingMyCiTi’s universal access plan, which willensure that no-one is left by the wayside.
Ease of access for the disabled, the elderly,young children, passengers with large suit-cases, surfboards or prams, and even preg-nant women is receiving special attentionfrom MyCiTi.
“MyCiTi has such a comprehensive, well-considered plan that it is leading the way onuniversal access in South Africa and inter-nationally,” says Councillor Brett Herron,mayoral committee member for transport,roads and stormwater for the City of CapeTown.
“Special needs passengers constitute alarge part of any population, but in generalfew of these people use public transport be-cause they assume it is not for them. It mightnot be close enough to their homes, or theycan’t board easily, or they do not feel safe as
passengers.”The transport service hired a universal ac-
cess consultant who is, himself, also a wheel-chair user – Guy Davies.
Universal access facilities on the MyCiTiservice include tactile paving to help theblind locate the stations and platforms; in-duction loops at ticket kiosks for the hearingimpaired; CCTV cameras monitored by acontrol centre, and even tactile signage andmaps. There will also be boarding bridgesonto all thebuses including the smaller ones.
Access easy for disabled on all MyCiTi buses

On Friday 15 June, Western Capeministers Dan Plato (communitysafety) and Alan Winde (finance,economic development and tour-ism) hosted a career workshop inElsies River for successful matricu-lants of 2011 who are still unem-ployed.
The pilot project aims to give theyouth of gang affected areas in theWestern Cape an opportunity tolearn valuable skills, like CV writ-ing, interview techniques and en-trepreneurial skills that will equipthem to get a job and steer themaway from getting involved in anti-social behaviour.
Potential Employers and govern-ment SETAs were also present tospeak to the learners about employ-ment opportunities in their respec-tive fields, with various WesternCape government departments pre-senting potential learnership op-portunities as part of their skills de-velopment programme.
An exciting part of the workshopwas the presentation by the CareerPlanet Career Discovery Centrewho took the youngsters throughthe do’s and dont’s of getting intothe job market.
This organisation was launchedin 2008 by former Western Capeminister of education, CameronDugmore, and is a unique web-based career guidance informationservice.
Career readiness workshops like
the one in Elsies River are part oftheir services, but they also doteacher training in respect of careerguidance, and various other activi-ties.
Career Planet’s mobile kiosks al-so travel to rural and urban schoolsand communities for four to fivedays per visit where their onlineservices are available, free ofcharge, to whoever needs them.
They are making a significant im-pact on the prospects, career choic-es and access to opportunities forthousands of young people, particu-larly in poor and under-resourcedcommunities.
The participants were very hap-py to attend and many said thatthey were motivated to get their ca-reers kick-started with the tips thatthey learnt at the workshop.

Duidelike munisipale wette oor die verant-woordelike aanhou van honde blyk steeds nievoldoende te wees vir sekere honde-eienaarsin die noordelike voorstede nie.
Dít kom na ’n inwoner van Oak Glen on-langs vir die derde keer aangeval is deur hon-de wat bloot uit hul erwe op haar afgestormhet wanneer sy met haar hond gaan stap.
Die vrou, wat verkies om anoniem te bly,sê sy gaan stap elke aand met haar pitboel/boelterriër-kruising. In die afgelope twee jaaris sy en haar hond reeds drie keer aangeval.Gedurende die eerste twee voorvalle het sy inVredekloof gewoon, maar onlangs is sy ook inOak Glen aangeval.
Munisipale verordeninge verbied honde in
die straat of openbare gebied, mits hulle aan’n leiband en onder beheer is. Die enigste plekwaar honde sonder leibande toegelaat word,is in ’n gebied wat deur die stadsraad as loslo-pende gebied aangedui word. Dié regulasiesbepaal ook dat honde geen skade mag aanrigaan openbare eiendom nie en verbied kwaaiof gevaarlike honde in strate of ander openba-re gebiede, mits die hond op ’n menslike ma-nier gemuilband is, aan ’n halsband is en bin-ne beheer is.
Vir die volledige stel munisipale wette, be-soek die Stad Kaapstad se webwerf www.cape-town.gov.za. Richard Bosman, uitvoerendedirekteur van veiligheid en sekuriteit van dieStad, sê inwoners wat die slagoffers is vanhonde-aanvalle kan siviele eise instel teenhonde-eienaars.

What’s in a name?
John Ramsay Senior Secondary in BishopLavis have decided that staying true to thehistory of the school is important when itcome to the original name of the school.
Principal Quentin Newman explained thathe had recently come across a copper platewith the name “John Ramsay High School”which must have been the official name of
the school when it opened in 1970.“For some reason the name changed to be-
ing a senior secondary school some years lat-er, but I feel that this is a mistake and it hadto be rectified.
“There is nothing ‘senior’ or ‘secondary’about our learners because we want them toaspire to higher learning and that is done ata ‘high’ school,” he said.
The school recently celebrated their “re-naming” when Sanlam sponsored the newsignage for the school.
School sign says ‘high’

The athletics track at the Bell-ville Velodrome will not be ex-cluded from the developmentcurrently under way, but the op-tion to relocate the track in fu-ture is a possibility.
This option is being investigatedso as to adequately respond to thecity’s desire for a new CBD node inBellville.
Hein Ehlers, managing directorof the Velodrome developers, Dev-mark, said this week an athleticstrack in the centre of a planned cen-tral business hub will be out of con-text, which is why provision to ex-clude the track from the Velodromeis made only for the distant future.
Uncertainty whether or not theathletics track will survive the de-velopment of the Bellville Velo-drome has prompted a local coun-cillor to submit a motion to halt theproject.
The motion was submitted by An-drea Crous, councillor of Ward 70,at a subcouncil meeting last week.
An application for the rezoning ofthe Velodrome was approved by theDe Grendel Subcouncil in May 2011.
At the time, it was stipulated inthe Broader Tyger Valley Urban De-sign Framework and Guidelinesthat the existing athletics track atthe Velodrome continue to functionas an outdoor recreational space. Itwas suggested its existing size be re-duced and converted into a series ofterraced public open spaces thatlink Carl Cronjé Road and Willievan Schoor Avenue.
When the same application wasbrought before the subcouncil ayear later, the wording waschanged that the proposal now indi-cated the existing athletics trackwas to be converted into a series ofterraced public open spaces.
“We had meeting after meetingabout the timeframe of the develop-ment and when the sport clubs canstart to move back, but meanwhilethey (city officials) are making foolsof us,” Crous said last week.
At the council meeting, Crousasked for the process to be halted,until answers have been obtainedas to what the truth is.
Sheblames city ofCapeTownoffi-cials, as they were responsible for
tender conditions, the rezoning ap-plication and the compilation of thebroader Tyger Valley framework.
“If the Bellville athletics trackwas to disappear, where would ath-letes practise?” she asked.
Crous is very concerned that thiswill result in the suburb losingmany of its star athletes. “If parentswho have children with Springbokpotential find their children with-out facilities, they will move away,”she says. Another concern forCrous is what was to become of theannual MTBS athletics gathering, ahighlight on the local schools’ ath-letics calendar, as well as otherinterschool athletics meetings.
In the land use planning applica-
tion, it states that the option to relo-cate the athletics track is currentlybeing investigated so as to ade-quately respond to the city’s desirefor a new CBD node.
“Why is it necessary to turn thisarea into a new CBD? The Voor-trekker Road Corridor Improve-ment District (VRCID) is the city’scentre and should be the CBD,” shesays.
Gert Engelbrecht, chairperson ofthe track and field events of Bel-lville Athletics Club, described thepossibility of the athletics track be-ing stubbed as unacceptable. “Bell-ville Velodrome is the cradle of ath-letics. Many people move to thenorthern suburbs, specifically for
the first-rate athletics training thatis offered here,” he said.
Engelbrecht said the Bellvilleclub boasted highly qualifiedcoaches of whom many yieldSpringbok athletes. “If the athleticstrackwere canned, expertisewill belost,” he said.
He described the possible omis-sion of the athletics track as ashame.
“Is that how little they think ofthe northern suburbs and thesport?” he asked.
Engelbrecht said in omitting thefields, a plan B was necessary.
He said the Velodrome and theParow Athletics Club were, apartfrom the track at the University ofWestern Cape, the only two tracksand field clubs in the northern su-burbs.
Northern district manager oftown planning, Charles Rudman,said in response there was no speci-fic position around the use (of thetrack) and that consultation wasneeded with the parties involved.
“The proposal in our office shows(the inclusion of) an athleticstrack,” he said.
Rudman described the policy do-cument as one that has no status. “Ithas been developed to try and pre-dict the future of that area,” he said.
He said in terms of the document,a suggestion was being made thatthe athletics track makes room forterraced spaces but that that was amere future option.
“If we say that this is becomingthe new CBD of Bellville, would youhave an athletics track in the mainroad?”

Parents are part of the education processat a school in Bishop Lavis after takingpart in an important partnership.
Hillside Primary School hosted their firstCertificate Ceremony for parents who com-pleted a seven-week Home-School Partner-ship programme.
The early literacy and numeracy pro-gramme was devised by Wordworks, a localnon-profit organisation and this programmeempowers parents and guardians of childrenbetween the age of three and seven years tosupport informal learning at home.
Amanda Herbert, a facilitator at theschool, said the project was the start of anexciting initiative at the school.
“Our school was very pleased to start thisprogramme,” she says.
“We believe the extra literacy and numera-cy support will be of great benefit to our chil-dren. The programme both improves andpromotes parent involvement at the school.
“We would also like to convey sincere andheartfelt thanks to Brigit Comrie for initiat-ing the Wordworks programme.”
She added that the school hopes to makethis programme an ongoing process and get
more parents involved with their children’seducation.
“However due to financial constraints wehave limited resources and materials tomake the programme run effectively.
“We are in desperate need of a range of re-sources and we appeal to local businesseswho wish to partner with us in the develop-ment of our community. The long-term re-sults will play a positive part in the wholecommunity.
“With more support of this project we willbe able to run the programme at least twicea year,” she said.
Wordworks seeks to support and improvethe literacy and language development ofchildren from disadvantaged communities.They do this through targeted early inter-vention and the delivery of proved pro-grammes and resources.
Part of their aims are that they believe thatby working with parents, teachers, volun-teers and the wider community, togetherthey can help all children realise their fullpotential.

There is no doubt about it, education is not what itused to be when we were at school. The greatestchange in the last 20 years however, is the cost.

Die lot van die SA Jeugkoor lê nou hoof-saaklik in die DA se hande.
Hoewel die koor minstens tot die eindevan die jaar sal kan aanhou sing, moes sowat’n kwart van die koor voor die naweek hultasse pak as gevolg van groot finansiële pro-bleme.
André de la Harpe, interim-voorsitter vandie koor, sê die koor mag dalk hul repertoireverander om die kleiner groep te akkommo-deer, maar hulle sal vir so lank as moontlikaanhou sing.
“Daar is sprake van geld wat moontlik kaninkom van die DA af, maar ons gaan nie op-gewonde raak voor ons nie iets op skrif hetnie,” het De la Harpe gesê. Denise Robinson,DA-LP, het vroeër vir De la Harpe gesê syhet ’n versoek vir geldelike hulp aan die DAgerig. Sy het voor die naweek vir De la Harpegesê dat sy dit intussen opgevolg het en wagop terugvoer. Volgens De la Harpe is vir homgesê dat die DA in Julie sal vergader waarhulle die saak sal oorweeg.
Voor Vrydag was daar kommer dat diekoor finaal hul tasse moet pak om huis toete gaan nadat die koor nie daarin kon slaagom ’n borgskap te bekom nie.
Die SA Jeugkoor se lede word gekies opgrond van hul musikale talent en nie vol-gens finansiële agtergrond nie. Lede se ak-kommodasie, skoolgelde, boeke, klere enkosis geborg, wat ’n aardige bedraggie beloop.
Baie van die lede bly in die koshuis vandie Hoërskool Durbanville terwyl hulle bydie Hoërskool Stellenberg skoolgaan.
De la Harpe sê dat al die ouers wat dit kanbekostig, bevestig het dat hulle sal aanhouom hul kinders se skool- en koshuisgelde tebetaal. Ouers wat dit nie kan bekostig nie,sal gesubsideer word. Danksy ’n R90 000-skenking van ’n inwoner van Durbanville,sal 19 leerlinge, van wie 11 matrieks, tot ein-de vanjaar in die koshuis kan aanbly sodathulle hul skooljaar kan voltooi.
Van die leerlinge se skoolgeld by die skolewaar hulle op hoërskool is, is reeds in totaalmet bykans R400 000 agterstallig.
Intussen gaan die koshuisouers, JamesHorne en sy vrou Cecilia, albei afgetredenes,voort om sonder enige betaling die kinderste versorg. Ook ander senior personeelledeontvang reeds vir maande geen salaris nie.
Mense wat die koshuis of koor wil help,kan James Horne by 083 448 1649 of André dela Harpe by 021 460 3627 bel.

Making a difference in Blikkesdorp is goingto be the focus of Mandela Day for a founda-tion with heart this year.
The Boundless Heart Foundation will becollaborating with the community, as wellas various other organisations with theidea of fulfilling the vision of InternationalMandela Day by providing a platform to“Take action, inspire change, make everyday a Mandela Day”.
This year the organisation’s initiativewants to mobilise people, organisations andvolunteers around the common goal ofworking in Blikkiesdorp around a numberof projects in the area.
Chairperson of the foundation, AndrewGasnolar, said that they wanted to work ona number of projects to benefit the peoplein this area.
“We are hoping to establish a library forthe residents in a container, where volun-teers can read to the youth and start a Read-a-thon day where we show that reading isnot just an educational tool, but it can be
fun as well,” he said.“We also want to look at greening the area
byplanting two starter gardenswith indige-nous plants as well as 13 starter vegetablegardens.
“There are also plans to create an outdoorstreet studio which will capture family por-traits and thereby provide families withinthis community a snapshot of their unityand create a lasting memory of how impor-tant the family unit is.”
Gasnolar alsopointedout that the founda-tion is calling on communities in surround-ing areas for additional hands, as volun-teers, to help them to bring some much-needed positive and useful attention to thiscommunity.
The project is on the official Mandela Daywebsite: http://mandeladay.com/calen-dar/event/mandela-day-a-call-to-action-in-blikkiesdorp.
For further information about theprojects Gasnolar can be contacted viaemail on [email protected] on their Facebook Page: The BoundlessHeart Foundation.
Making a real difference
The City of Cape Town has launched a newtravel programme to deal with growing ex-haust emissions caused by commuters.
The new programme, called Smart, is fo-cused on getting commuters to use more sus-tainable options such as public transport, liftclubbing (carpooling) or active mobility (non-motorised options such as walking or cycling).
“The increased congestion on our roads, par-ticularly as a result of Single Occupancy Vehi-cle (SOV) use, is not sustainable. SOVs are en-ergy inefficient and contribute significantly toemissions, which impact on local air quality,
our health and global climate change, not tomention to the huge hole they leave in thepockets of commuters due to the high price offuel and parking,” said the city’s mayoral com-mittee member for transport, roads and storm-water Councillor Brett Herron.
The Travel Smart Programme aims to re-duce SOV use, reduce the total kilometres trav-elled, reduce vehicle emissions, reduce costsfor commuters and reduce the day-to-daystress of sitting in traffic.

Doen aan ander wat jy aan jouself gedoenwil hê. Dit is die sanger Kevin Leo se le-wensmotto.
En dit is hoekom Kevin sy Godgegewe ta-lent gebruik om mense se lewens te verryk.Dit is veral bejaardes wat hom na aan diehart lê.
Van 2009 af het Kevin gemiddeld 25 keerper maand gratis by aftreeoorde opgetree.En elke keer was die terugvoer fenomenaal.Kevin vertel van een voorval wat hom netweer eens laat besef het hoe musiek grensekan verskuif en lewens kan verander.
“By die een aftreeoord waar ek gesing het,was daar ’n oom in die gehoor watvir tien jaar al nie ’n geluid gemaakhet nie. Niemand kon tot hom deur-dring nie. Ek’t ná my optrede ge-hoor die oom het terwyl ek gesinghet, begin saamneurie. En toe beginhy saamsing. En toe, ná al die jare,begin hy weer te praat. Dis hoekomek doen wat ek doen. Ek wil met mysang mense se lewens verryk, virmense hoop gee.”
Kevin is deesdae ’n Mosselbaaierná 20 jaar in Gauteng. Dis hier waarhy rus gevind het, vertel hy. “Mos-selbaai herinner my aan Rusten-burg toe ek ’n kind was (Kevin ishier gebore en getoë). Dis soos ’nklein dorpie. Die mense is laid back– my soort mense.” As hy op sy woonstel sestoepie sit en uitkyk oor die see, kan hy nieanders nie as om heel te voel, sê hy.
Die lewe het die afgelope jaar of wat ’n paardraaiemetKevingestap.Hy’s filosofies daar-oor. “Jy loop ’n pad met jouself. En eendagloop jy in jouself vas en word jy gekonfron-teer met die volle jy. Dit vat gewoonlik ’ndonderstorm in jou lewe om hierdie punt tebereik. En dan neem jy bestekopname vanwie jy is… Ek glo hierdie storms kom op joupad om jou sterker te maak.”
Hy’s nou op ’n baie “happy place” in sy le-
we. “Dinge gebeur teen ’n geweldige tempoen ek is omring deur bekwame mense watmy loopbaan in ’n opwindende rigting stuur.Op die horison is ’n konsert waarin hulde ge-bring word aan Gé Korsten, oorsese optredesen ’n fliek of twee.
Hy vertel met ’n breë glimlag van sy rolin die Suid-Afrikaanse fliek Pretville, wat inNovember vrygestel word. Die fliek speel indie vyftigerjare af en ’n hele dorpie, Pretvil-le, is by die Hartbeespoortdam daarvoor ge-bou. Kevin en Jakkie Louw is die twee tronk-bewaarders op die dorp en Emo Adams enMargit Meyer-Rödenbeck (Dowwe Dolla) isdie dorp se “bekwame” polisie. Met tronkvo-
els soos Dozi, Ghapi, Kobus Wiese en JimmyAbbott kan ’n mens nie anders nie as om ’nvolkome fiasko te voorspel!
Sy nuwe projek is een wat hy saam met Ty-gerBurger en Rawson Brackenfell Roslynaanpak. Van 16 tot 20 Julie gaan Kevin gratisby tien aftree-oorde of tehuise vir senior bur-gers in TygerBurger se verspreidingsgebiedoptree. Daar is nog nie besluit by watter af-treeoorde nie; dus kan lesers hul voorstellestuur aan [email protected] of faks na021 910 6501. Die sluitingsdatum vir voorstel-le is volgende Woensdag 4 Julie.

Western Cape liquor traders who defynew regulations may lose their licencesand those who commit the most seriouscontraventions could be fined up toR1 million.
This and other issues were touched uponwhen the Western Cape Liquor Authorityand Western Cape MEC of finance, econom-ic development and tourism, Alan Winde,hosted an information session on the West-ern Cape Liquor Act for Du Noon liquor li-cence holders on Monday.
Winde’s department plans to host 100 ofthese sessions in this financial year.
The session, which was attended by liq-uor licence holders from Du Noon, was heldon Monday at Milnerton Police Station.
Winde said in April the act is the singlelargest intervention to reduce alcoholabuse and its related harm in the province.
It was revealed that businesses wouldhave until next April, as part of a transitionperiod, to fully comply with the act and atthe end of this year, one wouldn’t get a liq-uor licence renewal form.
People applying for new liquor licencescould now also contact the liquor authorityinstead of magistrate’s courts, as was previ-ously required.
They would be required to show a zoningcertificate or proof of application for zon-ing.
Traders were warned to check with theirmunicipality about when they could oper-ate, as dictated by zoning regulations andby-laws.
Says Winde’s spokesperson, Phumzilevan Damme: “The Western Cape Liquor Au-thority’s Advocacy and Stakeholder Rela-tions Unit regularly conducts awarenesssessions in communities, with communitypolice forums, ward councillors and the po-lice. During these sessions, the Liquor Au-thority informs attendees on matters relat-ing to liquor regulation and addresses anyconcerns that may arise.”
According to van Damme some 15 to 20of the 22 licence holders in Du Noon attend-ed the interactive session.
Winde stressed the importance of theamended act coming into effect.
“We aim to reduce the number of drink-ing spots in residential areas. We will alsobe cracking down on distributors and re-tailers who supply the estimated 25 000 ille-gal shebeens currently operating in our res-idential communities. Under the Act, theywill be liable for penalties including heavyfines, jail terms and seizure of assets.”
Under the new act, individuals could faceup to five years in jail or a R1 million finefor the most serious contraventions, liketrading without a licence and selling alco-hol to children.

Their name, Mamela,means “listen” in Xhosa.
You can’t help but do justthat when this jazz bandstarts playing.
Their combination ofsultry vocals and technicalplaying forces you to stopand take in their modernsound.
Mamela, the residentjazz band at Plaasteater, ismade up of Marius Doubellon bass, Fred Koch on key-boards, Romeo Jacobs ondrums and Johan Seim onguitar, with his daughters,Raylene on sax and Rozaneon vocals.
The band has been to-gether for about fourmonths and when asked howthey got together, Fred says:“Slowly.”
The short version is thatMarius was asked to put aband together for jazz eventsat Plaasteater.
He made contact with Jo-han and his daughters andmet Fred and Romeo at Plaa-steater, and the rest, as they
say, is history,Now the band plays month-
ly, on the third Saturday ofevery month, for Jazz jive opiplaas, at Hazendal.
“We are holding back,”Marius points out. He saysMamela wants to grow theirrepertoire and polish theirperformances before theyplay outside the Plaasteater.
Their first gig away fromthe venue will be in Septem-ber when they play the Citrus-dal local food festival.
“If you look at Plaasteater,it’s a theatre, which allows usto discipline ourselves beforewe go out there,” Rozane says.
“It’s good stage experi-ence,” Marius says.
Mamela plays a mixture of
originals and covers,which they rearrange tofit their style.
“We have a maturesound,” Marius says.
Many of the originalswere written before andbrought to the band whothen tackled arrange-ments together.
“Every individual hastheir own experiences,”Marius points out, be-fore rattling off the list ofnames the band mem-bers have played with.The list ranges from An-ton Goosen and MungoJerry to the late RobbieJansen and Tyler Perry.

For most golfers the dream of play-ing the Old Course at St Andrewsin Scotland will remain just that,but for local golfer Hugo du Toitthis dream will become a realitythis week.
Du Toit (Bellville) will representSouth Africa in the World One-arm Open Championships from 30June to 6 July.
St Andrews is widely regardedas the cradle of the game. Thisyear golfers from 27 countries willtee off in this the 75th edition of thetournament which was originallyfounded to accommodate soldierswounded in World War I.
Says Du Toit: “I’m cerebrallydisabled in the left side ofmybody,so I can only play with my righthand.Golf ismypassion in life andI will be forever grateful for the op-
portunities this game has present-ed me.
“I’ve had the privilege to workat Fancourt, Arabella and DeZalzewhich are some of the premierclubs in the country.
“In previous championships weplayed on some spectacular cours-es in Ireland and Scotland.
“I’ve made it to the semi-finalson three occasions and won ourSouth African One-arm Champi-
onship in 1998, 1999 and 2003,”hesays.
“The Old Course is somethingspecial, I have had the honour ofwalking on the course a few timesbut never played on it. We alsohave the courtesy to play practiserounds before the tournamentstarts,” said Du Toit with a hugesmile.
He is also most proud of the wayable bodied golfers respect disa-
bled players of the game.“It is always uplifting and spe-
cial to see the impact we as disa-bled golfers have on the ‘normal’golfers.
“They have the utmost respectfor us and how good some of us canplay the game.
“The camaraderie is fantastic,and just one of the reasons whythis is the greatest game everplayed,” he said.

Belhar, Kuilsrivier en Bracken-fell se WP-Superliga-rugbyspan-ne kan van tevredenheid spreekná ’n aangename naweek in diejongste reeks wedstryde.
Durbanville/Bellville, wat ’n los-lootjie gehad het, het darem ook noggebak in die glorie om die vorige na-week die eerste helfte van die sei-soen onoorwonne af te sluit, maarandersins het Noordelikes/Northlink-kollege, Bellville, Hands& Heart en Goodwood vanaf aan-staande maand ’n bult om te klimten einde hierdie winter ’n redelikaanvaarbare een te maak.
Belhar, wat hom maar net vir dietweede jaar in die sterk A-afdelingvan die Superliga bevind, gaan dui-
delik van krag tot krag, geoordeelaan die oorwinning van 24-17 watdie Accordion Park-span oor Villa-ger behaal het. Voor- en agterlangswas Belhar die tuisspan se meerde-re en sy sege deur middel van vierdrieë (teenoor Villager se enkeledrie) getuig van ’n genoeglike uit-stappie Kaap se kant toe.
In die B-afdeling het Noordeli-kes/Northlink-kollege en Bellvillevir hulself ’n groot klip in die padgerol as in terme van bevorderingna die A-afdeling gedink word.NNK, wat met rustyd nog 6-3 voorwas teen Helderberg, het met 9-18 sytweede nederlaag hierdie seisoenop die lyf geloop.
Bellville het heel onverwags op sytuisveld met 13-21 sy moses teëge-kom teen Kuilsrivier en dit bringmee dat Helderberg die gunsteling
geword het om dié afdeling te wen.Hands & Heart het weliswaar meervanBrackenfell se doelgebied te sie-ne gekry as wat met die tuisspan diegeval was, maar strafbare oortre-dings het die Kraaifontein-spanduur te staan gekom. Knap stel-skopwerk het Brackenfell met 19-15die knoop laat deurhak. In die gevalvan Goodwood wil dinge nog steedsnie klopdisselboom verloop nie.Swakkerige verdediging het Good-wood in die steek gelaat teen Prim-rose wat met 32-17 die pyp gerookhet.
Ná ’n langerige afwesigheid is dieStormers (teen die Lions) eersko-mende Saterdag terug op Nuwe-land. Dit bring mee dat die meesteklubspanne ’n loslootjie het, maarDurbanville/Bellville is Vrydag-aand tuis teen Valsbaai.
