PAROW-NYWERHEIDSGEBIED: POLISIE KONFISKEER TIK TER WAARDE VAN R30 MILJOEN
Dalk nuwe dwelmroete AVRIL FILLIES
oorheen is Kraaifontein as die deurgangsroete vir dwelmhandelaars gebruik, maar dit lyk nou asof dit via Parow geskied. Dít is hoe kapt. Kevin Williams, woordvoerder van Parow-polisie, gesê het nadat 35 kg tik ter waarde van R30 miljoen op Vrydag 2 Maart in die Parow-nywerheidsgebied gekonfiskeer is. “Dit was die eerste keer dat die polisie so ’n slag slaan. Johannes Makwena (50) van Qwaqwa in die Vrystaat is gearresteer en hy
het op Maandag 5 Maart in die landdroshof in Bellville op ’n klag van handel in dwelms verskyn,” het Williams gesê. ’n Vrou wat dwelms aan haar liggaam versteek het, was die enigste ander voorval wat die Parow-polisie in die verlede hanteer het. “Mense raak by dwelmsmokkelary betrokke weens sosio-ekonomiese toestande, werkloosheid of bendebetrokkenheid. “Tik is die gewildste dwelm wat gebruik word, want dis maklik om in die hande te kry en boonop goedkoop,” het Williams gesê. Volgens hom wissel die ouderdomme van die dwelmverkopers of -slawe van oud tot
jonk, maar dis veral die jongmense wat dwelmverkope as ’n inkomste sien. “Die Wes-Kaapse polisie wil help om ontslae te raak van die dwelms wat so maklik beskikbaar is. Ons het saam met die polisie van Grens, doeanebeamptes en die sigbare polisie van Parow die operasie uitgevoer. ’n Vragmotor is gestop en 19 sakke tik is in twee yskaste daarin gevind,” het brig. Novela Potelwa, Wes-Kaapse polisie-woordvoerder, gesê. Volgens haar kom die vragmotor van Johannesburg en sy inhoud was bedoel vir ’n pakhuis in die nywerheidsgebied in Parow. Die tik is gestuur vir forensiese ana-
lise en die ondersoek duur voort. Nog arrestasies word verwag. Lt.genl. Khombinkosi Jula, Wes-Kaapse provinsiale kommissaris, het die oplettende lede geloof. “Die konfiskering en arrestasie gee ons pogings ’n hupstoot om dwelmhandelaars en dwelmgebruikers vas te vat,” het Jula gesê. Williams het ’n beroep op die gemeenskap gedoen om inligting te verskaf indien hulle bewus is van iemand wat smokkel met of dwelms verkoop. “Die persoon kan anoniem bly wanneer hy die inligting verskaf,” het hy gesê.
Parow plays host to two talks about diversity AVRIL FILLIES If you live in a diverse community such as Parow, you get exposed to different cultures and traditions. The downside of diversity is that you can also be the target of ethnically or racially abusive language. This is why Jimi Bertrand of the organisation Spirituality Media Charity is hosting talks at the local clinic and at Parow Inclusive Primary School. “Last year I was asked to organise talks after incidents involving patients at the clinic and a pupil at the school. The principal said she would like to see her learners live
in harmony with one another and that her teachers should be able to deal with children of different backgrounds,” Bertrand says. Bertrand became aware of the problem last year when a parent told him that she was not happy with the way her child was being treated at the school and she believed it was because of the colour of her child’s skin. “She did not raise the issue at the school for fear of the child being victimised. The same thing happened at the local clinic and so I decided to host these talks.” On Monday 5 March and Tuesday 6 March he held the latest talks at the clinic and at the school. This was done in conjunction
with the FW de Klerk Foundation. “The talk on Monday focused on helping the intensely diverse Parow community to be able to live with one another in tolerance, respect and harmony. On Tuesday we equipped the teachers of the school with the knowledge they need to be able to handle children of different racial and ethnic backgrounds without infringing on their rights. “When I approached the foundation to ask FW de Klerk to come and address a group of girls in 2017 he was unavailable, but I am hoping that he will be at one of my next talks. I was advised to speak to Christine Botha from the Centre for Constitutional Rights
and ever since we have a created a good relationship. The foundation even sponsored gifts for the children at the Parow clinic.” According to him he has worked with the Parow police, the Women’s Network of the Democratic Alliance and the Centre for Unity and Diversity. “We’ve tackled women’s issues and human rights, and the police have spoken about women and child abuse. Childline has also came on board to speak about bullying.” Call 078 948 8782 or email spiritualitymedia@gmail.com. Bertrand’s offices are at 13 Oldham Street in Parow, or visit the website www.spiritualitymedia.simplesite.com.
ie Hoërskool Tygerberg in Parow het nou ’n nuwe voorkoms danksy die samewerking tussen ouers, leerders en onderwysers om van ou verf, gom en vuil mure ontslae te raak. “Om ’n huis of ’n skool te verf en skoon te maak, kry jy gewoonlik ’n kontrakteur om die werk vir jou te doen. Maar nie in die geval van die Tiere nie. Ek het in Augustus 2017 saam met die bestuurspan deur die skool gestap en hulle het 192 foto’s geneem van alles wat hulle gepla het. Die skool is in 1981 betrek en ek het besef die skool het ’n spring clean nodig gehad,” het dr. Wikus Herselman, hoof, gesê. Die grootste probleem was die baie jare se politoer wat op die vloere aangepak het. “Die eerste skoonmaak het op 28 Oktober plaasgevind. Leerders, onderwysers en ouers het met grawe, skropborsels, spatels, besems en moppe opgedaag en geskraap, geskuur, geskrop en gewas. Op die oog af het dit soos chaos gelyk, maar nadat ongeveer 250 mense vyf uur se werk ingesit het, was die gange in ’n beter toestand. “Die seuns- en meisiesbadkamers se houtwerk is afgeskuur en vernis en daar was geen graffiti meer in sig nie,” het hy gesê. Daarna het die detensieleerders Vrydae die finale afronding gedoen en die skool se onderhoudspanne die vloere gereeld gewas en skoon gehou. “Verwers het aan die einde van 2017 begin om die deure te verf en met die eerste skooldag vanjaar het die leerders reeds in

’n kleurvoller omgewing ingestap,” het Herselman gesê. Die verf en skoonmaakmiddels is grotendeels gefinansier uit die fondse wat tydens ’n kaskardag in 2016 ingesamel is. Worsbroodjies en koeldrank is vir die hardwerkendes deur past. Dino en sy span geborg. “Die finale ‘skropdag’ was op 17 Februarie en die hooffokus was die was van ruite en die verwydering van die laaste graffiti in gange. Ivon Brown, ’n ouer, het ’n ‘handige ouer’-span bymekaar gekry en hulle het die houtwerk voor die saal en in die skool gedoen. Herselman het tydens die Desembervakansie bankies gebou waarop leerders pouses en voor skool kan sit om hul huiswerk te doen,” het Corlise Tooth, sekretaresse, gesê. Volgens haar is Herselman ’n voorbeeld vir almal omdat hy self ingespring en gewys het hoe dit gedoen moet word. Meer as 1 200 voornemende leerders en hul ouers het op die ope dag op 20 Februarie die skoolsaal volgepak toe die nuwe skool ten toon gestel is.
BESOEK ONS WEBWERF VIR NUWE VOORRAAD EN WINSKOPE
Op Woensdag 28 Februarie is al die “kontrakteurs” tydens ’n spesiale saalbyeenkoms bedank vir hul goeie werk. Behalwe skooltrots, wou hy ook hê die leerders moet eienaarskap vir hul leeromgewing neem. “Daarom is drie ‘skropdae’ uitgesit waar leerders, ouers en onderwysers saamgewerk het om jare se politoeraanpaksels af te skuur, alle graffiti en ou wondergom te verwyder en vensters te was,” het Herselman gesê. Die volgende fase was om die gebou mooi te maak deur die deure met helder kleure te verf, ander met kleurvolle prentjies te versier en om motiveringspreuke oral op te plak. Muurskilderye is in donker gange aangebring en die stoorkamer is mooi reggepak. Die ingang na die saal is versier met ’n grafiese voorstelling van ’n tierkop, want die skool staan bekend as die Tiere. Die Tiere het hulself daartoe verbind om hul skool in hierdie puik toestand te hou en is nou weer kop in die lug! V Vertel TygerBurger wat jy van hierdie berig dink by briewe@tygerburger.co.za.
Smoking a nuisance to some shoppers CARINA ROUX
here there’s smoke there’s fire … or maybe just a smoker or two. The involuntary inhalation of smokers’ secondhand smoke in public spaces seems to be a bit of a, dare we say, burning issue for some local shoppers. One Goodwood resident (who prefers not to be named due to his position) says he has complained to the centre management of N1 City Mall before about smoking at the entrances to the centre. A few other residents also expressed concern about this at the Ratepayers’ Association meeting in January. People often seem to ignore the “no smoking” signs and the resident alleges the shop assistants are often the culprits. According to him, entrance 4 is especially problematic, as the designated smoking area is situated very close to the steps leading up to the entrance. This, he says, is a huge nuisance, especially to people who accompany children, and poses a health risk. The particular entrance leads to the food court and entertainment area. Norman Francis, operations manager of the centre, says customers complain from time to time about smoking at the entrances. “The areas where smoking is not allowed are clearly marked. We as property owners have no right in law to issue fines to members of the public.” People who smoke in areas close to entrances do so in contravention of the legislation regulating tobacco products, says Francis. “Our centre staff and on-site security will, where such transgressions are noted, order the transgressors to adhere to the notices as displayed,” he says. The current requirements for smoking
areas in terms of the Tobacco Products Control Amendment Act state that a designated smoking area must not exceed 25% of the total floor area of the public place, it must be separated from the rest of the public place by a solid partition and an entrance door on which the sign “SMOKING AREA” is displayed, the ventilation of the designated smoking area must ensure that air from the smoking area is directly exhausted to the outside and is not recirculated to any other area within the public place, and the owner or person in control of a public place or restaurant, or an employer in respect of a workplace, shall display the prescribed signs and make the prescribed public announcements. The law also states that no person may smoke any tobacco product in any indoor, enclosed or partially enclosed areas which is open to the public, and this includes a workplace and public transport. The designated smoking areas at the entrances to N1 City Mall are outside and seem to comply with all current legal requirements. TygerBurger asked Siyabulela Mamkeli, the City of Cape Town’s Mayco member for Area Central, what the public can do if they see transgressions such as people blatantly ignoring “no smoking” signs at entrances to shopping malls and other public buildings. Mamkeli says while the City’s environmental health practitioners try to be as proactive as possible, they are very reliant on complaints from the public about transgressions relating to the smoking legislation and other matters that fall within their mandate. He adds that people should lodge complaints on 086 010 3089 if they spot any transgressions relating to the Tobacco Products Control Amendment Act.

Pamper party held for a worthy cause MANDLA MAHASHE
opkins Street in Parow was on Saturday abuzz with attendees of a pamper party, ready for their chance to get some special attention. This party was organised by Beauty Behind Bars, an NPO whose main focus is giving women living in adverse situations hope and a positive outlook on life. The organisation hosts morale-boosting activities for women who are in prisons, old age homes, rehabilitation facilities, hospitals, shelters, and HIV and TB centres. According to its founder, Cleo Jacobs, Saturday’s event was a fundraiser for the organisation’s activities. On the day attendees were asked to pay R100 and in return they received neck and shoulder massages and foot baths, while make-up artists also gave them a touch of glam. “This event is the first of many, as we are planning to organise these fundraising parties once every two months. Funding and support from other organisations remain the biggest challenge in the first two years of our existence and as such we have decided to invite people to donate and get something in return,” says Jacobs. She adds that all of the people who did the pampering on the day were volunteers, with masseurs, make-up artists
and even health product retailers pitching in to make the event a success. “Volunteers are integral to our organisation and we have more than 50 people who come and help us repeatedly,” she says. Beauty Behind Bars was founded by Jacobs in 2016 after she had a dream to visit women who are facing adverse challenges and who are neglected and rejected by society. She says the impact of her programme on women makes it worthwhile despite her struggles to fund the organisation. “When you see the change of perspective in a person who had already given up, it is wonderful to see. To give them confidence and make sure they have something to look forward to – that is our goal as an organisation,” says Jacobs. Lihle Benxa from Khayelitsha said she was happy to have been at the receiving end of the pampering. “It was a fun-filled event and I was amazed to see such a good turnout. I received a foot, neck and shoulder massage, as well as make up.” She said she was glad all this was for a good cause and is even considering volunteering for the organisation. “We do need more volunteers and sponsors to make a bigger impact with our work,” concludes Jacobs. For more information on how you can become a volunteer or a sponsor, contact Jacobs on 083 769 3314.

Her passion for fashion is inspiring AVRIL FILLIES
ago!” she says. Once a month she hosts a free introduction to pattern making and sewing for the unemployed at the Parow Library. “We always try to serve snacks or a meal, so any sponsors would be appreciated. We also have our regular classes taking place from Mondays to Saturdays from 10:00 to 13:00 where students are required to pay a fee. Evening classes are on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 18:00 to 20:00. “We have new students doing the courses with us each week. Our courses are short – four to five days. I still have the same students who started with me when I opened the school four years ago,” she says. According to her, most of the learners who attend the courses make clothing for themselves. “They find retail clothing stores to sell their clothes to, or they wear their own unique designs. Some of the learners have their own clothing lines,” Samsodien says. She offers four courses from beginners to advanced. The courses are short and consist of four to six lessons per course. She also offers extra lessons for individuals who wish to learn at their own pace. “To enrol for the courses you must have the right attitude. Designing is a passion, and perseverance and hard work are needed. The learners also need some stationery and the list is on the website. Learners don’t need sewing, designing or dressmaking experience to attend the classes. Most of the learners are absolute beginners and start from scratch. “My advice to anyone who wants to pursue a career in fashion is to just start. We learn and fail and we make mistakes, but in the end perseverance is what separates us from the rest. It’s not about who is the smartest, it’s about who works the hardest, so if you have a passion for fashion, don’t wait until you are ready – start now!”
er passion to empower people is the reason why Rishka Samsodien started the Skills Empowerment Training Centre (SETC), a fashion training school at the Parow Library. “I started the school to help people unleash their creative flair. Learners who attend classes come from all over the Tygerberg area and I often have couples who do the courses together. For some the training classes became a form of therapy,” says Samsodien. “What drove me to open a school was mainly the struggle I went through trying to find a mentor when I was young. My dad, who was a tailor, lost 90% of his eyesight and he taught me the basics. I persevered and finally went to fashion school, but before fashion school it was difficult to find someone who was willing to teach me,” she says. She promised herself that she would never turn down anyone who needed help in the clothing industry. “Many fashion schools turn down really talented individuals. It’s not always about who can draw the best – one needs to understand the process of pattern making and design. Fashion designing is a skilled trade. I always encourage young children – boys and girls – to sew if it’s their passion. Parents should not treat it as a hobby or attach a stigma to it. “My son started when he was nine years old and he makes cute things like simple skirts and T-shirts for me and his sister. My brother is a tailor and so were my uncles back in the day,” Samsodien says. She has been in the clothing game as long as she can remember. “I grew up in my father’s leather factory and he specialised in biker gear. I started with alterations at a very young age. I made my first leather jacket when I was 16 and sold it for R500 at the time – that was 24 years
Learners sew their own garments to wear or sell to retail stores.
Pattern making is one of the courses offered at the Parow Library.
Bêre besittings in kattebak Inwoners wat daagliks gaan stap in die Jack Muller- of Danie Uys-park in Bellville, word gewaarsku om hul besittings in die kattebakke van hul motors te bêre. ’n Leser het ingebel om te sê dat sy op Maandag 26 Februarie in die park gaan stap het en toe sy by haar motor kom, was haar motorruit stukkend en haar besittings uit haar motor gesteel. Toe sy navraag doen of daar enige sekerheidswagte in die park ontplooi is, is aan haar gesê dat hulle wel daar is, maar dat hulle nie motors oppas nie. Lt.kol. Fienie Nimb, woordvoerder van
die Bellville-polisie, het by navraag gesê dat daar wel sekerheidswagte is. “Daar is wagte binne Jack Muller-park, maar daar is dikwels haweloses wat as karwagte buite die park optree. “As ’n geleentheid vir ’n dief geskep word, dan gaan daar gesteel word. Daar is baie mense wat naby die park slaap. My aanbeveling is dat jy alles uit jou motor verwyder en in jou kattebak toesluit, al is dit ’n leë sak. “Diewe weet nie dis ’n leë sak nie en doen alles in hul vermoë om dit in die hande te kry,” het Nimb gesê.
Sensei still going strong after 35 years AVRIL FILLIES
orty-four years ago Mary-Ann Landers from Bellville went to watch her friends do karate on a Saturday morning and right there and then she decided that this was what she wanted to do. Now Landers is fulfilling her karate ambitions as the senior instructor at the Neko Karate Dojo in Parow North. “The original dojo was started by the students at the Tygerberg Technikon and when they finished their studies, the dojo was without an instructor. In 1983 I was asked to take over as instructor and I have been the senior instructor at the Neko Karate Dojo ever since,” says Landers. The dojo had to relocate to the Caroline Kotze Ballet School in 1983, as it became dif-
ficult to use the technikon facilities. The seniors are located there, while the juniors had to relocate to the Parow North Rugby Pavilion Hall due to high numbers. “Initially we were five friends that became karateka but I am the only one that has persevered until now. I reached my 7th dan and am still training,” she says. She has trained many Western Province champions and later this month Nabilah Ebrahim, Aidon February, Oliver Mwela and Ashley February will represent the Karate Association Western Cape team at the Karate South Africa national event. “I was graded by Sensei Hitoshi Kasuya on 13 August 2009 in Japan to receive my 7th dan. I represented my country in the world championships in Turkey, Mexico and Japan,” Landers says. She admires all her instructors throughout her karate career, as they have each inspired her to achieve more. “My day job is project manager at the Capital Planning and Projects Department at the University of Cape Town and my hobbies are reading, swimming and gardening. I am single and all the students at the dojo are my kids,” she says. Next on her bucket list is to obtain her 8th dan. “I also want to keep on teaching karate as long as I am able to so, so that the students can experience the benefits of karate. I would also like to train a karate student to become a world champion of the World Karate Federation,” she says. “I can’t highlight any specific comic situations in karate or at the dojo through the years, but with children every training session is an eventful training session,” she chuckles. “Anyone can do karate – one only needs the confidence and determination to start. Karate is fun and an important life skill to develop, especially at this time when bullying is so prevalent in our society. It is a lifetime activity and caters for all ages. And you are never too old to start!” she says. VWhat is your opinion on this article? Let us know at briewe@tygerburger.co.za.
Woon geselligheid met Franse flair by
Meer as 115 jaar gelede het hulle vir die eerste keer hul deure vir vroue in nood oopgemaak. Nou is die Magdalenahuis in Boston steeds ’n veilige hawe vir vroue. Maar pleks van ’n huis vir ongehude moeders, is dit deesdae ’n dagsorgsentrum waar swanger vroue ’n ontwikkelingsprogram kan volg. Die meisies, van wie sommige verkrag is, word op verskeie vlakke gehelp om die lewe buite weer aan te pak. Hulle leer onder meer om te brei, kos te maak en ’n groentetuin te onderhou.
Hulle kry vervoer, sielkundige hulp en maaltye gedurende die tyd wat hulle by die huis is. Magdalenahuis is ’n filiaal van Badisa en ontvang ’n minimale inkomste van die staat. Daarom hou hulle dwarsdeur die jaar ’n verskeidenheid gesellighede om geld in te samel. Die volgende geselligheid is ’n vroueoggend met Franse flair. Dit word op Saterdag 12 Mei van 09:00 tot 12:00 op die Rhebokskloofwynlandgoed gehou. Kaartjies kos R280 per persoon of R2 600 vir ’n tafel van 10. Kontak Elsa by elsa@magdalena.org.za.
Tenks op dak kan seniors só help AVRIL FILLIES
is nie net Jan Publiek wat elke druppel water bespaar of hulp aanbied waar daar nie voorsiening vir waterbesparing gemaak is nie. Jakkie Joubert, ’n sakeman van Monte Vista, het opgaartenks op die dak van sy viswinkel geplaas om water op te vang. Dié water wil hy nou aan tehuise in die omgewing skenk om met die daaglikse skoonmaak en wasgoed by die tehuise te help. “Ons ondersteun deur ons samewerking met District Watch gereeld die Monte Vistabelastingbetalersvereniging met hul projekte in die gemeenskap. Met die opgaartenks wil ek kyk of ek kan help met die tehuise vir senior burgers in ons omgewing, waar daar dalk ’n watertekort is,” het hy gesê. Volgens hom het hy snags wakker gelê en gewonder hoe hy planne kan beraam om ook sy bydrae tot waterbesparing te lewer. Hy wou ook ’n verskil in ander se lewens maak. “Ek het nou opgaartenks bo-op die dak van die viswinkel geplaas om die water op te vang wat sporadies in die Kaap val. “Ek het eers die water gebruik om my tuin nat te lei of om my swembad op te vul. Maar ek het besef daar is ander wat die water beter kan benut. By die huis laat die stort net 5 l per minuut deur en daardie water word opgevang en word nou liewer vir tuindoeleindes gebruik,” het hy gesê. Volgens hom word daar ook net twee keer per dag gewas (skottelgoed ingesluit) en twee keer per dag koffie gedrink. “Voorheen het jy mos net die kraan oopgedraai sonder om twee keer te dink as jy die vis wou afspoel, koffie wil maak of hande wil was,” het Joubert gesê. Hy voel hy wil nou ook vir die tehuise help. “Indien daar van die tehuise is wat belangstel om die opgaartenk se water vir hul eie behoeftes te gebruik, kan hulle my bel. “Ons almal is so ingestel op onsself en ons eie behoeftes dat ons nie eers aan die seniors dink nie. Hoe word hul wasgoed gewas en hoe maak hulle daagliks met drinkwater? Hulle kan nie soos ons gou by ’n winkel inglip en gebottelde water koop nie.” Nog ’n besparingsmaatreël by sy viswinkel is dat waar hy voorheen 8 l water gebruik het om die winkel se vloere te was, hy deesdae net 4 l gebruik. “Hier is baie haweloses in die sakekern van Goodwood en Monte Vist. Pleks daarvan dat jy jou kleingeld aan hulle uitdeel, vra ek nou my klante om hul kleingeld te los, sodat ek dit aan gemeenskapsorganisasies kan gee.” Rig navrae aan Jakkie by 021 558 1177.
