Parow roads upgraded
t will be smooth driving for motorists now
that Parow roads are being upgraded.
Improvements to Picton Road in Parow
Central and all roads in Parow West kicked
Roads will be milled out and resurfaced,
and bumpy roads are being re-tarred.
Other improvements will include all stop
streets being repainted; replacement of road
names and faulty traffic signs to be fixed.
“These are busy roads and they must be
fixed,” says Rick O’ Connell, councillor of
“Hundreds of cars use the roads daily so
to make things easier for people on their way
to work the upgrading is taking place at
night to avoid any disruptions. The upgrade
to the roads will also improve the lives of motorists and the entire community as it will
prevent accidents from taking place.”
He says the aim of the upgrade is to beautify the area and make it safer for the commu-
“All the residents in the area will be happy
as this road has been problematic for a
while. It will be safe for children and everyone to walk on too,” he added.
Parow resident Charne Hill says she uses
Picton Street frequently and that “it is high
time that something is being done”.
“I’m glad to see that the street is finally
being revamped to make it safe.
“With the road in a bad condition it made
the area look bad and with the area it will
look much better. It was also easy for accidents to occur.”
Another resident, Justin Prins, says he is
elated that the roadworks will be taking
“I am happy that the road is being upgraded but also that they will only be working
on the road at night and that the upgrade will
not interfere while I drive to work.”
O’ Connell says the full roadwork upgrade
is expected to be completed by the end of February.

Hospital call centre expands
Tygerberg Hospital is one of eight facilities
identified for a call centre pilot project,
which has proved to be highly successful in
The Western Cape Government Health
call centre has been available for patient
complaints for five months and will roll out
to all health facilities in the metro during the
2013/2014 financial year.
Hélène Rossouw, spokesperson for Theuns Botha, Minister of Health: Western Cape
Government, said an analysis of the average
client showed that they prefer make a phone
call when logging a complaint or giving a
“The numbers of calls are far in the majority, compared to text messages or emails,”
In the five month period, 594 complaints
were logged. The complaints line receives an
average of six calls per day and most com-
plaints are lodged between 09:00 and 12:00.
In total, during this period, 594 queries
were raised of which 578 were resolved, that
is 97 %.
The majority of complaints are resolved
within five days. Hélène says a survey by the
call centre shows that patients are very satisfied with the service. At present 16 complainants are awaiting feedback.
She says overall, the majority of complaints that exceed all other complaints are
about waiting times. The second most common complaint is about the attitude of hospital staff towards patients.
“This is exactly the value of the complaints line. It enables the department to
identify the facilities that face the most challenges. Now we can target our resources towards specific problems,” says Minister
Botha says the success of the pilot has
proven they can roll out the call centre to
service all facilities across the province.
Each financial year another district will
be added to the service with the aim to offer
the service to all patients across the province by 2018.
At present, the call centre is available between 07:00 till 19:00 for clients from the selected health facilities which form part of
the pilot project. The eight facilities identified for the pilot project are Tygerberg Hospital, Mitchell’s Plain Community Health
Centre, Khayelitsha Site B Community
Health Centre, Retreat Community Health
Centre, Somerset Hospital, Helderberg Hospital (Somerset West), Wesfleur Hospital
(Atlantis) and TC Newman Community Day

Police need help with cases
Can you help the police in their fight
Bishop Lavis Police are looking for information on a suspect who was arrested
for theft in October last year.
His modus operandi was to pose as an
employee of the City of Cape Town with
a false identity document. He would request the occupants of a house to enter
their homes to check various electrical
points and in doing so he would steal
items from their homes.
The suspect conducted these illegal activities throughout the Western Cape.
Anyone with information or who was
a victim of this type of offence is requested to contact the investigating officer Ok-
kie Brits at Bishop Lavis SAPS on 082 778
9237 or 021 935 9824.
. The Bishop Lavis Police are requesting the assistance of the public in a culpable homicide case.
On Monday 10 December last year at
about 01:00, 31-year-old Paul Snell from
Sydneyvale, Bishop Lavis, died in a car
accident in Modderdam Road.
According to a witness the driver of the
white Honda Ballade registration
number CY 70787 lost control over the vehicle and the vehicle overturned.
Any further witnesses to this incident
can contact the investigating officer, Detective Warrant Officer Pierre Bothma
on 021 935 9802/3.

Egpaar uit motor, kaper glip in
Vermeende motorkaper het vroeg
Saterdagoggend sy kans waargeneem om in ’n luierende motor in
Oakdale te klim, terwyl ’n egpaar buite die
motor gestaan het.
Toe die man óók in die motor klim en weier om gehoor te gee aan die kaper se bevele
om uit te klim, is hy vyf keer geskiet.
Elandré (26) en Janel Senekal het Saterdag 19 Januarie omstreeks 02:30 – twee blokke van hul huis – in hul straat stilgehou en
Janel het eerste van die kapers bewus geraak. “Daar is mense in die motor,” het sy
vir haar man gesê.
’n Man het op die voorste passasiersitplek
gesit, waarop Elandré hom uit die motor gepluk het.
Elandré het om die motor geloop en ingeklim toe die egpaar van nóg ’n man bewus
raak. “Klim uit die kar uit, klim uit die kar
uit”, het die mans in Afrikaans vir die eg-
paar gesê, sê kapt. Fienie Nimb, woordvoerder van die Bellville-polisie.
Een kaper het vir Elandré gesê hy soek
’n selfoon, geld en die motor, maar Elandré
het hom teëgesit,” sê Nimb.
Dit is toe dat die kaper met ’n pistool op
hom losbrand. Hy is vyf keer geskiet – in
die bo-arms, bors en maag. Hy het ook ’n
wond onder sy ken – nie ’n ingangswond
nie, maar ’n skaafwond vermoedelik weens
’n koeël wat hom skrams getref het.
Nimb sê daar is op die toneel uit twee rigtings geskiet, moontlik met pistole. “Dit kan
óf een persoon wees wat uit verskillende
rigtings gevuur het, óf twee persone.”
“Die vrou het glo verskriklik geskree,” sê
Gelukkig het die koeëls alle lewensbelangrike organe gemis en Elandré is reeds
uit die hospitaal ontslaan.
Nimb het die kapers beskryf as “jongerige
Hermien Everts, woordvoerder van die
Mediclinic Louis Leipoldt, het Maandag 21
Januarie by navraag gesê, hoewel Elandré
Senekal “geen inligting oor die voorval aan
die media wil verskaf nie, gaan dit goed met
Die kapers het Janel se handsak op die sypaadjie uitgekeer, maar niks is in die voorval gesteel nie.
Nimb sê die polisie vermoed die kapers
is deel van groepe misdadigers wat mense
by hul huise inwag.
Klagte van poging tot kaping en poging
tot moord word deur die Bellville-polisie ondersoek. Nimb maan mense om onder geen
omstandighede langs die pad stil te hou of
uit hul motors te klim nie. “Motoriste moet
hulle nie onnodig blootstel nie,” versoek sy.
Sy raai motoriste verder aan om wanneer
hulle saans terugkeer huis toe, eers seker
te maak dit is veilig voor hul stilhou. “Ry
stadig verby jou huis en kyk of jy iets sien.
Maak seker niemand staan rond nie,” sê sy.
Volgens Nimb vind “baie min” motorkapings in Bellville plaas.
V Enigeen met inligting oor die voorval word versoek
om die ondersoekbeampte, ao. Shaun Jansen, te bel
by 021 918 3010.
Sy is weg, beweer verdagte
Charmaine Mare (16) se verdagte moordenaar, Johan de Jager (48), het haar glo self
as vermis aangemeld by die Kraaifonteinpolisiekantoor kort na haar “verdwyning”.
Mare het drie weke gelede haar ouerhuis
in Kriel, Mpumalanga, verlaat om by haar
vriendin en dié se ma, Carol White (52), tuis
te gaan in Eltermanstraat, Kraaifontein.
White, haar dogter en De Jager se seun het
kort ná haar aankoms op ’n weeklange bootvaart vertrek en Mare in die sorg gelaat van
De Jager, White se kêrel.
Toe die res van die gesin op 11 Januarie
van die bootvaart af terugkeer, het De Jager
hulle verwittig Mare is vermis, waarna hy
die saak self by die polisiekantoor gaan aanmeld het.
Die volgende dag het lede van die Kraaifontein-polisie plakkate met ’n foto van Mare oral in die dorp aangebring. Twee dae later het ’n verbyganger op haar erg verbrande lyk in Darwinstraat afgekom. Die lyk het
geen bene of arms gehad nie en was heeltemal onherkenbaar. Polisie kon geen verdere
leidrade op die toneel vind nie.
Volgens kapt. F.C. van Wyk van die provinsiale polisiekantoor het die ondersoekbeampte, ao. Daniel Sampson, die volgende dag
die lykskouing bygewoon en ’n tongring en
hangertjie aan die liggaam opgemerk.
“Toe hy later deur die dossiere vir vermiste persone werk, het hy op Charmaine se
saak afgekom en die familie gekontak. Hulle
het beaam sy is sedert 11 Januarie vermis
en het ook bevestig sy het ’n tongring gehad
en ’n hangertjie gedra wat ooreenstem met
dié van die verbrande lyk,” sê Van Wyk.
Ao. Sampson het later die familie onder-
vra en gemerk dat De Jager se antwoorde
baie vaag was. “De Jager is later ingeroep
vir verdere ondervraging en ’n soektog by
die familie se huis het Mare se arms in ’n
boks in die motorhuis opgelewer.”
De Jager is op dieselfde dag in hegtenis geneem en het Woensdag in die Blue Downslanddroshof verskyn op ’n aanklag van
Volgens kapt. Gerhard Niemand van die
Kraaifontein-polisie is die saak uitgestel tot
Donderdag vir verdere ondersoek, maar het
die beskuldigde intussen die slagogger se bene aan polisie uitgewys, waar hy dit langs
die N2 naby Macassar gegooi het.
Die polisie het intussen bevestig die lykskouing is afgehandel, maar hulle kan nog
nie bevestig of Mare verkrag is nie.
Onlangs is berig Mare het Kaapstad toe gekom om kuns te studeer by ’n plaaslike kollege, maar die gerugte is Maandag deur ’n betroubare bron betwis. “Sy het net daar (by
die White-woning) opgedaag en daar was
geen sprake van enige formele losiesreëlings nie. Van studies in Kaapstad was daar
glo geen sprake nie,” het dié bron Maandag
aan TygerBurger gesê en ook bygevoeg dat
Mare na bewering nie haar hoërskoolloopbaan wou voltooi nie.
Volgens dieselfde bron was Mare en White
se dogter vriende sedert hul jonger dae toe
dié gesin ook nog in Mpumalanga gewoon
het. Haar verpletterde ma, Katerina Mare
(53), sê haar dogter het baie ideale gehad en
wou in Kaapstad werk om geldelike hulp aan
haar verarmde ouers te verleen, het Rapport
Sondag berig. Volgens haar het Mare haar
ook etlike dae ná haar aankoms in Kaapstad
gekontak en om hulp gevra, maar dat hulle
nie geld gehad het om haar te gaan haal nie.

Matrics who want to improve
Lekker om te leer by dié skool
2nd shot at maths, science
Students who have passed matric but did
not obtain a high score in mathematics
and physical sciences, have a chance to
improve their marks with the help of the
successful SciMathUS programme at Stellenbosch University (SU).
They will hopefully follow in the footsteps of the 2012 group, where all 104 students who wrote the final examination
passed, also continuing the 100 % pass
rate over the previous four years.
The programme offers talented and motivated students, who are educationally
disadvantaged and did not qualify to be
admitted to university programmes, a second chance.
Students may apply for SciMathUS if
they have passed Grade 12 with a minimum of 50 % in Afrikaans or English, a
minimum of 30 % in mathematics and
physical sciences, or 80 % in mathematical literacy and also 50 % in any four of
the subjects designated for university admission.
The students will rewrite the Grade 12
Prospective students may apply for the
programme until 31 January and application forms can be downloaded from the

Turning up heat on crime
Since the inception of Operation Rubicon, much successes have been attained
in the Parow area.
Operation Rubicon is the brainchild of
the cluster commander, Brig Darius van
der Ross, W/O Jacques Mostert of the
Parow police said.
“A plan was devised where members
from Parow such as shift, crime prevention and sector managers work during
the hours in which these types of crimes
are the most prevalent.
“Members from Parow have also
pledged to do extra duties during their
time off and are also supported by detectives and members,” Mostert said.
They have also been joined by members of Bellville, Bothasig and Goodwood who are also performing duties
when they are on rest days.
According to Brig Van der Ross, the
fact that everyone is working together
shows the degree of support the cluster
stations have for each other and is also
A large number of police members are
deployed on a daily basis, some in uniform and marked vehicles, while others
are in civilian clothes and unmarked vehicles.
Since the inception of the operation on
11 January, good successes have been
achieved as numerous arrests were
made for the following crimes: possession of drugs and dangerous weapons, as
well as for murder and robbery.
According to Mostert besides the
drugs, various other dangerous items
which could have been used to commit
crimes have been taken off the street.
The main goal of Operation Rubicon
is to turn up the heat even more on criminals in Bellville cluster, Mostert concluded.
Police nab 41 ‘drunk drivers’
Metro police officers arrested 41 suspects
and drug-related offences during patrols
and operations across the city this weekend. Officers also issued 441 traffic fines

On Saturday 19 January officers arrested
10 motorists for driving under the influence
of alcohol at a roadblock in Voortrekker
Road, Parow. Another four motorists were
arrested for the same offence in Atlantis.
A joint operation with the SAPS resulted
in the arrest of three motorists for driving
under the influence of alcohol, while another three motorists were arrested for the
same offence in Parow, Bellville and the
Cape Town CBD respectively.
During routine patrols in the Maitland
area, officers arrested one suspect for possession of illegal narcotics after he was

middel Desember in ’n tref-en-trap-ongeluk
van sy motorfiets afgery is.
Hy en sy familie hoop steeds iemand het
die ongeluk gesien gebeur en kan lig werp
op wie hom raakgery het.

bekend is, is Saterdag 19 Januarie uit die
Tygerberg-hospitaal ontslaan – vyf weke ná
Eddie was op Saterdag 15 Desember om
ongeveer 21:00 op pad Danskraal toe om
vriende te ontmoet, toe ’n motor hom tref
in Barnardstraat, Oakdale.
“Ek weet ek het ’n kruising oorgesteek,
toe ’n motor oor ’n verkeerslig jaag. Verder
kan ek niks van die ongeluk onthou nie,”
het hy verlede week uit sy hospitaalbed by
die Tygerberg-hospitaal vertel. Hy het eers
drie dae ná die ongeluk in sy hospitaalbed
Sy enkel is in die ongeluk vergruis en sy
kleintoontjie gebreek. Dit was so hittete of
sy linkerbeen is bo die enkel geamputeer.
“My hak was weg, maar die dokter wat
die operasie gedoen het, kon my voet red,”
Hy het reeds drie veloorplantings ondergaan. “Vel van my linker- en regterbeen is
op my hak oorgeplant,” sê Eddie. Littekens
is al wat oorgebly het van rowe wat sy regterarm oortrek het.
Die lang ure in die hospitaal het hy verwyl deur boodskappe op sy Blackberry te
“Tussen my vriende, familie en kollegas
was daar elke dag iemand wat vir my kom
kuier het, maar wanneer daar niemand was
nie, was ek baie verveeld,” sê hy.
Maandag, twee dae na hy ontslaan is, het
Eddie gesê hy het nóú baie pyn.
“Veral my voet en ook my ander been,
waar die vel afgehaal is vir die veloorplanting, pyn.”
“Terwyl ek in die hospitaal was, was die
pyn nie naastenby so erg soos vandat ek
ontslaan is nie. Ek het in die hospitaal heeltyd morfien ontvang, maar sedert ek by die
huis is, is dit baie, baie seer,” sê hy.

Parow-Noord tuis. Hy het môre (Donderdag

tyd in my hele lewe,” sê hy.

Bashan 250RR, sy beursie en selfoon is op
die toneel gesteel.
“Ek hoop daar was ooggetuies van die ongeluk wat kan lig werp op wíé my raakgery
het,” sê Eddie.
Drie maande voor die ongeluk het Eddie
as beskermingsoffisier by District Watch in
Monte Vista begin werk.
Pierre Gouws, eienaar van die onderneming, sê ’n nommerplaat is op die ongelukstoneel gevind en daar is aanduidings dit behoort aan ’n Nigeriese of Somaliese burger.
Eddie se suster, Cheri de Vos van ParowNoord, sê hulle het gaan praat met mense
van die omgewing waar die ongeluk gebeur
het. “Hulle is ná die slag buitentoe, maar

Geniet somer ten volle in natuur
Begin jou somer in die Kaap op ’n hoë noot,
met inligting uit die binnekring.
CapeNature het 24 reservate in die WesKaap, waar jy ’n blaaskansie kan neem en
die somer ten volle kan geniet.
Ontsnap dié somer van die stadsgewemel deur na die natuur terug te keer. Jy
kan in ongerepte valleie voetslaan, op skilderagtige voetpaaie bergfietsry, in jou kajak in kronkelende riviere af roei en in
koel rotspoele in die water spring.
Van die Boland se majestieuse berge en
die Weskus se vleilande tot die goue strande van die tuinroete en die oop vlaktes van
die Karoo is daar verskeie idilliese plekke
waaruit jy kan kies.
Boonop is CapeNature deel van die Wild
Card, ’n bewaringsprogram, wat jou in
staat stel om meer tyd in beskermde gebiede te bestee en terselfdertyd te help om ons
natuurlike erfenis te beskerm.
Met ’n Wild Card kry jy ’n jaar lank vrye
Dus kan jy dit bekostig om te kom kuier
wanneer jy ook al lus voel.
Begin jou dag met ’n stimulerende wandeling, loer in vir ’n piekniek of trakteer
jou gesin met tyd weg van die huis.
Doen dié somer iets nuuts en besoek ’n
CapeNature-reservaat om een van dié aktiwiteite te beproef:
Wat kan op ’n warm somersdag meer
verfrissend wees as swem in ’n bergstroom?
Die Cederberg se Rondegatrivier kronkel verby die Algeria-kampeerterrein en is
die perfekte plek om af te koel.
Wandel in die woud
Ontsnap van die hitte van die dag na die
stille koelte van Grootvadersbosch.
Dié inheemse woud noordwes van Heidelberg is ’n sprokiesagtige koninkryk met
ysterhout, geelhout, stinkhout en rooi-els
wat hoog toring.
Loer in rotspoele
Dis maklik om verdiep te raak in die onderwater wonderwêreld in rotspoele, waar
helderkleurige seekastaiings aan die rotse
klou en klein klipvissies heen en weer
Waenhuiskrans (Arniston) naby Bredasdorp het ’n ongerepte kus met volop rotspoele wat verken kan word.
Die Kogelberg-biosfeer is ’n wilde, pragtige plek met stoere berge en delikate fynbos, met die bronskleurige lint van die Palmietrivier wat daardeur kronkel.
Bly aan die roei
Vanuit ’n kano kan jy sittend ’n nuwe
uitsig op die welige groen Tuinroete kry.
Die Goukamma-natuurreservaat naby
Wildernis, het kano’s te huur en dit is maklik om tien kilometer stroomop in die rivier te roei. Die rondawels is onlangs opgeknap en bied asemrowende uitsigte.

Duisende voëls kry elke jaar koers na die
suide om op ons sonnige strande te oorwinter. Die Rocherpan-natuurreservaat naby
Elandsbaai aan die Weskus is ’n wonderlike plek waar eende, krikeende en slopeende dopgehou kan word.

Beakie the penguin received reconstructive
surgery to his beak after he was knocked
down by a vehicle in Simon’s Town.

tuck in again
When Beakie had an unfortunate run-in
with a car in Simon’s Town in October, it
was clear that dining on fish would in future present a problem for this cute penguin. Knocked down by a speeding vehicle
his lower mandible was severely damaged
by the impact of the car and his lower beak
The bird was brought to the rehabilitation centre of the Southern African Foundation for the Conservation of Coastal
Birds (Sanccob) in Table View where the
veterinary team tried several procedures,
Not ready to give up, Sanccob’s rehabilitation manager, Nicky Stander, consulted
a former Sanccob vet, Dr Tertius Gous, who
in turn got in touch with Dr Gerard
Steenkamp, an experienced veterinary
dentist based at the University of Pretoria.
After examining photos of the penguin’s
beak, Dr Steenkamp was confident that he
could mend the mandible and offered to do
the reconstructive surgery free of charge.
Tracy Shaw, from the National Zoological Gardens (NZG) in Pretoria agreed to
take care of the penguin at the zoo.
With a flight-sponsorship by Bid Air Cargo (Cape Town), Beakie was flown to Johannesburg in his own personal “enclosure” and was taken to the faculty of veterinary science of the University of Pretoria
in Onderstepoort in preparation for the big
day. On 18 December, he underwent a CT
scan and Dr Steenkamp performed the surgery.
When the brave little patient came to, he
had a beautiful new beak, with the help of
some delicately placed stitches, pins, wire,
and dental acrylic. The operation was very
successful and Beakie was taken to the
NZG to get back on his feet.
Since the operation, Beakie has been under the post-operative care of Dr Adrian
Tordiffe, who administered a 14-day course
of antibiotics to fight off any potential infections to the wound. The first few days
he was very sleepy and claimed a permanent spot in the colony where he dozed
alongside his 32 new penguin friends. At
first, he wriggled a lot during feeding
times, but became more comfortable as the
days went by. After three weeks, he surprised everyone at the NZG by coming
right up to the bucket and taking his first
fish all on his own.
“Now he pushes his way to the bucket
and is really starting to show his own special personality. The big adventure of
Beakie has proved that the endangered African penguin is most certainly the most
resilient of species, and we need to do everything in our power to help save these incredible little birds,” said Francois Louw,
Beakie will be flown back to Sanccob and
released at Boulders Beach, Simon’s Town.

Tannie “Liekkie” Jordaan (77) het ’n woonstel vol verrassings. In die een hoek is daar
’n unieke koffietafel, in die ander is daar
tientalle porseleinpoppies en aan die ander
kant van die vertrek staan ’n skootrekenaar.
Die mees fassinerende verrassing groei
egter in ’n pot op haar stoep – ’n geheimsinnige plant, wat Liekkie behoorlik gestonk
Watse vreemde plant is dié wat honderde
klein plantjies van sy eie op die blare dra?
“Ek noem dit die tsoenami-plant,” vertel
Liekkie met groot oë.
’n Vriendin van haar destydse buurvrou
het die plant teruggebring van Asië ná die
tsoenami in 2004 en toe gee sy vir Liekkie
’n klein blaartjie. Sy plant dit toe en nou gee
sy self blaartjies vir enigiemand wat saam
tob oor dié buitengewone plant.
“Is dit nie wonderlik nie?” vra sy terwyl
sy staar na haar heldergroen vriend.
Die naam van dié plant, wat haar voortdurend laat kopkrap? Die geleerdes noem
dit ’n Kalanchoe daigremontiana Itulehti!
Ja, gelukkig is die naam selfs verwarrender as die plant self. ’n Vertaling van die
groot Latynse woorde is blykbaar “Moeder
van duisende”. Die plant staan ook bekend
as die “Duiwel se Ruggraat”, “Alligatorplant” en die “Meksikaanse hoedplant”.
Die unieke plant reproduseer deur “babas” te maak rondom die kante van elke
blaar. Dit kan gepluk word of wanneer dit
self afval, groei daar nuwe plante waar dit
Liekkie praat met net soveel passie oor
haar ander stokperdjies. Een daarvan kan
bespeur word wanneer sy agter haar skootrekenaar, wat sy blykbaar nog glad nie verstaan nie, en rekenaarspeletjies speel.
“Dit hou die angsaanvalle weg,” sê sy met
’n glimlag. Haar jeugdigheid en lus vir die
lewe is inderdaad merkwaardig.
The odds of finding someone who has
dedicated 20 years of his/her life to voluntary service is slim, so it is indeed a
long shot to find a husband and a wife
who have done this together.
Gary (54) and Shirley Müller (51) of
Bothasig have been serving as volunteers for the City of Cape Town’s Disaster Risk Management Centre since the
They have seen riots, blazing fires, fatal accidents, gunshot and stab wounds,
and people in desperate need.
Alternatively, they have also witnessed tears of joy, rejuvenation, reconciliation and hugs that seem to last forever.
Making a difference for no compensation is probably the most noble thing
one can do in a society that has been consumed by isolation and self-interest.
They received a pat on the back by the
city in December last year at the first annual Disaster Risk Management Volunteer Awards – along with 104 other volunteers.
The volunteers’ “outstanding dedication to duty”, equates to 985 years of voluntary service to safeguard Cape Town.
About 45 of those years were contributed by the Müller-family, who are currently based in the Milnerton unit.
Says Gary: “I started in May 1990 and
Shirley started one year after me. Those
days it was Civil Defence and then
changed to Civil Protection. It started
when we took our son to an open day at
Milnerton fire station. There was a stall
that elaborated a bit on this volunteer
programme and I thought it was fascinating!”
Gary’s love for first-aid was the catalyst for his enlistment and since then he
has used this knowledge to save hundreds of lives.
Just this Saturday he started at 18:30
and only signed off at 03:30. In this time
they attended to a motor accident, a stabbing incident of a youngster, a house
robbery in Table View and a suspected
heart attack at Killarney racetrack.
It often happens that injured or sick
people are taken to the fire station before they go to the hospital, so one moment the volunteers could be keeping
themselves busy in the operations room
and then they are tasked with emergency CPR.
Gary spent more than 400 hours last
year doing voluntary work at the Milnerton unit. He also works for ER24, so
there is precious little “Gary-time”.
Shirley used to be more active in the
the care and comfort section of the unit,
but these days she has become less involved due to the demands of her daytime job at Trafalgar Property Manage-

Hy onthou nog sy eerste afspraak met Sylvia goed.
Hy het dié aand saam met sy vriende by ’n gesellige
uithangplek gekuier om die pragtige blondine te beïndruk.
“Sy het my geskakel toe sy daar aankom, waarop my
vriende ‘ge-oee’ en ‘ge-aa’ het. My reaksie was: ‘Kalmeer mense, dis nie asof ek die ja-woord gaan vra nie,“
Hy het die sjarmekrane behoorlik oopgedraai toe hy
vir haar sjampanje bestel het, wat gewoonlik enige
vrou se knieë lam maak.
“Soos dit hoort het ek haar vergesel na haar motor

gekry het. Toe weet ek, hier wil ek verseker ’n bietjie
Soos in baie ander verhoudings was daar ’n oomblik
van onsekerheid, maar dit het gou gewyk toe Sylvia vir
Dewald aanvaar het vir wie hy is.
“’n Goeie vrou soos Sylvia kom nie per toeval op jou
pad nie. So, toe ek haar goed leer ken, het ek geweet
hierdie is my lewensmaat.”
Hy het die groot vraag om haar hand op sy Kom
Braai-program gevra. Sylvia het hom op vorige programme bygestaan en hy het haar gevra om weer te
help, dié keer op die plesierboot, die MSC Melody.

anders, dit bly ’n familieding,” skerts hy.
Dewald beklemtoon dat hy nie kan wag om die knoop
deur te hak nie, die onthaal te geniet en alles te ervaar

Storie van Koos en
Kytie op die planke
Die splinternuwe produksie, Kytie – ’n
Koos Kombuis-storie, is Dinsdag in Die
Boer te sien.
Die toneelstuk, wat deur Alexa Strachan geskryf is, vertel die storie van ’n
wit seun wat deur ’n bruin kind grootgemaak is – net soos in Koos Kombuis se
“Dit handel oor die verhouding tussen
André en die meisie wat vir hulle gewerk
het,” verduidelik Crystal Roberts, wat die
rol van Kytie vertolk.
“Sy was aan sy sy vandat hy ’n babatjie
was,” sê sy.
Vaughan Gardiner, wat die rol van André speel, sê: “Dit gaan oor die groot impak wat Kytie op sy lewe gehad het.”
“Hoe hy al sy lewensbesluite gemaak
het met alles wat sy hom geleer het,” voeg
“Dit is as gevolg van haar dat Andre so
’n liberale mens geword het,” sê Crystal.
Margit Meyer–Rödenbeck behartig die
regie van die toneelstuk, terwyl Johann
Oosthuizen en Herman Pieters die vervaardigers is. Die musiek is natuurlik
deur Koos Kombuis.
“Dit is nie ’n politieke toneelstuk nie,”
benadruk Margit. Sy sê dis toevallig dat
die storie in daardie apartheidstyd plaasvind.
“Die produksie gaan oor eerlike emosie,” sê sy.
Margit sê mense vra ook uit oor Koos
Kombuis se betrokkenheid by die produksie. Sy sê die gehoor moet weet dat
Koos nie die opvoering geskryf het nie,
en dat hy ook nie in die toneelstuk verskyn nie. Daar is ook geen sang in die produksie nie.
Die produksie se eerste vertoning sal
op Dinsdag 29 Januarie in Die Boer wees,
voor dit Woordfees en dan KKNK toe reis.

Music Exchange brings the
Music Exchange, South Africa’s two-day
independent music conference that gets
everyone in the music industry talking,
is set to take place on 21 and 22 March.
Music Exchange brings the industry together to discuss, debate, collaborate and
get down to the business of making music. Every year it offers artists, industry
professionals and like-minded individuals the chance to network, exchange ideas
and catch up on the latest industry
In 2013 Music Exchange has taken it a
step further by creating a digital album
from selected artists interested in uploading their demo on http://www.soundcloud.com/musicexchange/dropbox
thereby qualifying them to be selected to
feature on this collaboration album, celebrating the continuing rise of South African music.
All attending artists’ submissions will
be considered for selection.
Artists will also be selected to perform
at a showcase and are requested to upload
their demos together with a photograph
and a short biography no later than Friday 15 March 2010.
Over the years Music Exchange has
had a number of success stories.
A collaboration between Evolver One
and international promoter and manager, Doug Davenport at the 2010 Music Exchange conference was key to the group
successfully recording their third album.
This yielded four radio hits. For 7th Son
the introduction to Stuart Rubin, former
BMG marketing director, at the 2009 conference led them to re-record the Australian hit “The Boys Light Up”, which went
on to became their first hit.
The event is at the Cape Town City Hall.

Bianca lifts junior
Bianca Theron (Devonvale GC - Boland) recently won the Nomads WGWP Junior
Championships with an impressive four
shots at the Metropolitan Golf Club.
Bianca who resides in Brackenfell shot
two rounds of 69 finishing on 138.
JiSun Kang (Altantic Beach) finished second on 142 shots and Durbanville star Kelly
Erasmus a shot further back on 143.
From the outset the tournament was expected to be highly contested with eight of
the top 10 juniors in the country competing.
After Round 1, Mae Cornforth from Potchefstroom CC (North West) led the field on
two under par 68, with Bianca one shot behind. In third position, JiSun was level par
70 and Kelly two shots behind on 72.
With near perfect conditions, everything
was set up for an exciting second round in
the afternoon. After the front nine Bianca
was level par for her second round, with JiSun one shot behind and Kelly two shots behind. On the back nine, JiSun’s approach
shot on the par 5, 12th hole cost her, whilst
Bianca cemented her lead with a birdie on
the par 4, 13th hole to finish the second
round on one under par 69 giving her victory.
JiSun finished the second round on two
over par to claim second place and also lift
the Prentice Cup – Best Gross 36 Holes – Closed (WP), as the highest placed Western Province player with a score of 142 (70,72). This
follows JiSun’s second place at the Boland
Junior Championships earlier in the week.
After a difficult first round Cara Gorlei
from Milnerton GC had a level par 70 second
round to secure fifth position on 147 (77,70).

Just hanging to be king of the air
Ruben Lenten in action at Big Bay, Bloubergstrand where the Red Bull King of the Air extreme kiteboarding event will take
place from 1 to 15 February.
Next month Bloubergstrand will play host to one of the most
extreme kiteboarding events in the world.
The Red Bull King of the Air competition is all about height
and hang time and in a week from now kiters from across the
world will be counting on our Cape Doctor to provide just that.
The event started in 1999 and was held in Hawaii in 2005 for
the last time where Dutch kiteboarder Ruben Lenten took the
“Since the inception of this event in 1999, the jumps became
bigger and bigger” says Lenten who competed against sports legend Robby Naish in the final in Hawaii.
It was a dream come true for the young daredevil who is continuously tracking storms around the world, in search of the next
Since 2005 the King of the Air event has taken a break but
this year it is back in full force. Lenton along with 23 other top
riders will push themselves to the limits in search of maximum
The event will take place at Big Bay between 1 and 15 February
During this event 16 of the world’s best kiteboarders who were
invited by the King Of The Air committee and eight wildcard
competitors who were chosen by sending in their most extreme
tricks, will battle it out for honours.
There is only one South African among the invited kiters, Luke McGillewie.
Lenten is surely one of the favourites to take this year’s title.
Despite the King of the Air competition not being held for the
last seven years, Lenten has not been idle.
The clip Ruben Lenten produced together with Red Bull and
Eyeforce shows his most important goal in life: “Fly hard”.
“The clip was created when I had the idea to capture my signature style of extreme kiteboarding.
“This is only possible when the conditions are perfect. In the
clip we have been monitoring the wind forecasts at different
spots to get the ultimate storm.
“The predictions for Ireland looked perfect, but unfortunately
the storm lost all its power overnight and it was impossible to
fly high enough.
“Miraculously an even better storm appeared on the radar for
“I could not believe my eyes, exactly what we needed. A real
Dutch autumn storm. It was the perfect playground for me,” he
“In South Africa and in the Netherlands we organised two extreme kiteboarding events to help young talented riders get better and prepare themselves for the Red Bull King of the Air,”

T’berg, Kuile blink uit
Die Tygerberg-klub en Kuilsrivier het die afgelope Saterdag met die begin van die jongste reeks tweedaagse
krieketwedstryde in die WP se eerste liga gesorg vir
In die topafdeling het die wisselvallige Bellville (158)
as gevolg van verskeie verbroude vangkanse vir United (254/7, gesl., en 19/0) die hef in die hand besorg.
Bradley Barnes (82) en Lionel van Rensburg (33) was
al kolwers wat hond haaraf kon maak.
Durbanville (203/9) is stewig in die saal teen Groenpunt (99), danksy Kuda Samuderu (75), Wallace Albertyn (40 en 3/22), Morné Heyneke (37) en Mark de Stadler
(3/25). Skitterende vertonings deur Kuilsrivier se
Craig Ephraim (100*) en James Carolus (9/40) het hul
span op die wenpad geplaas teen Claremont (84 en
32/1). Die Kuile het 207/7, gesl. aangeteken.
Bellville-Suid (200) is eweneens goed geplaas vir ’n
sege oor Wynberg (124 en 88/5) ná puik bydraes deur
Mbulelo Nkomo (8/21 en 31) en Llewellyn Wells (56).
Maar Milnerton (121 en 53/1) voer ’n opdraande stryd
teen Strandfontein, met die enigste noemenswaardige
bydraes deur Bevan van der Poll (65) en Jason Maritz
Die Tygerberg-klub (125 en 7/0) het Bonteheuwel met
10 paaltjies gewen (90 en 41) nadat Denver Carolus
(5/10), Luwaaz September (4/13), Nathan October
(3/10), Brandon Philander (3/11) en Brindley Gilbert
(40) die besoekers laat klippe kou het.
Noordelikes-Goodwood (51 en 120) sukkel egter op
die moeilike baanblad van Seacrest (101 en 4/1). Edgemead (164 en 46/2) is goed geplaas vir ’n oorwinning
oor Bishop Lavis (121), danksy die bydraes van Renier
Munnik (51), Dylan Johnson (49 en 4/18), Simon Blake
(3/19) en Stephan Joubert (3/32).
Keen young footie talent on show
Football fans can looked forward to an exciting display of Western Cape’s young talent at the Trinitarians Football club’s sixth annual Easter Tournament
for the under-13 age group, which takes place at the
Uitsig Sports Ground, Elsies River from 30 March
to 1 April.
Over the years it has grown from strength to
strength - changing the football landscape. The 2013
version promises to be another exciting tournament
filled with thrills and spills.
For the youth in Cape Town, especially in our disadvantaged areas, it is an opportunity to get expo-
sure in the game of soccer but more than that it is
also a means to express themselves and enhance
their leadership skills. “To win is not everything
and sometimes too much emphasis is placed on winning and not enough emphasis is placed on the individual’s development,” says the spokesman for the
club Martin Keith Julie.
The total prize money up for grabs is R7 000. The
two teams contesting the final will each receive
playing kit valued at R1 500 per team.
The closing date for entries is Monday 4 March
2013 and the entrance fee per team is R400. For more
information contact Robert Pretorius on 082 082 4419
or Martin Keith Julie on 084 222 1482.
