UITZICHT: OUERS MOET RONDSKARREL OM VIR SPRUITE ANDER PLEK TE KRY
Curro-skool sluit skielik ESMÉ ERASMUS @erasmusesme
og skaars het die voorskoolse skool Curro Castle in Uitzicht sy deure in Januarie vir die eerste keer geopen, of ouers moes rondskarrel op soek na ’n nuwe plek vir hul spruite. Die skool sluit einde vandeesmaand en ’n skool vir kinders met spesiale behoeftes, Dot’s Learning Centre in Bellville, wat onlangs deur Curro Holdings gekoop is, sal voortaan daar bedryf word.
Die ouers is onthuts oor die skool so skielik weer sy deure sluit – glo om “finansiële redes”. Die ouers is by ’n vergadering verlede Maandagaand “uit die bloute” ingelig die skool gaan sluit. Volgens een ma het sy die oggend nog met die ontvangsdame, wat hulle aan die “dringende” vergadering herinner het, gespot sy hoop nie die skool maak toe nie. “Sy het nog gesê dit sal beslis nie gebeur nie, en toe sowaar, toe is dit só,” het sy gesê. ’n Ander ontstoke ouer sê hulle is by die
vergadering ingelig dit maak nie finansieel sin om voort te gaan om die skool te bedryf nie, omdat dit nie vol was nie. Daar is glo baie minder kinders by die skool ingeskryf as wat verwag is, het hy gesê. Van die ouers het kwaad uit die vergadering gestap en ander het begin huil, volgens ’n ma. “Dis vir ons erg ontwrigtend en teleurstellend om nou rond te val om ’n nuwe skool vir ons kind, wat juis moeilik aanpas, te kry. “Die volgende dag was alles oor Curro Castle Uitzicht van die internet verwyder.
“’n Mens verwag nie so iets van ’n skool waar die skoolgeld meer as R4 000 per maand beloop nie,” het sy gesê. ’n Ander gesin se driejarige seuntjie is reeds vroeër in die jaar vanaf ’n ander skool na dié skool geskuif. “Nou moet ons hom weer ontwrig en einde van die maand wéér skuif,” het sy pa gesê. TygerBurger het in November verlede jaar berig dat die skool vir sowat 320 kinders van 3 maande tot 5 jaar voorsiening sou maak. V Na bladsy 2.

Competition recognises entrepreneurs
mid the current political optimism, entrepreneurs should be especially inspired by the continued commitment to support small and medium-sized enterprises, which emerged as a consistent theme in both the 2018 State of the Nation Address and the National Budget Speech. This is according to Kobus Engelbrecht, spokesperson for the 2018 Entrepreneur of the Year® competition sponsored by Sanlam and Business/Partners. He believes that this continued focus is evidence of government’s recognition of the vital role played by entrepreneurs in enabling economic growth. Speaking in light of the launch of the 2018 competition in Cape Town today, Engelbrecht says this long-deserved recognition
nise a South African entrepreneur for a Lifetime Achievement award. The purpose is to recognise an entrepreneur who has made a significant contribution to the South Africa economy and has grown their business from start-up to large-scale – perhaps even a multinational corporation. The 2018 Entrepreneur of the Year® competition offers prizes valued at over R2 million, which include cash prizes of R70 000 for each main category winner and R200 000 for the overall winner. Competition winners will also receive valuable mentorship support, networking opportunities and national media exposure. V Entrepreneurs can enter by downloading the entry form online at www.eoy.co.za. The closing date for the competition is 31 May.
VERVOLG VAN BLADSY 1 Dit was die tweede Curro Castle in Durbanville – die eerste het in Januarie 2015 sy kampus op die perseel van die Oakhill-kerk (Oakhill Church) in Sonstraalhoogte geopen. Daar is in November berig dat Stephanie Groenewald as uitvoerende hoof van die nuwe voorskoolse skool aangestel is. Sy was die eerste vrou wat as uitvoerende hoof van ’n Curro-skool, die Curro Helderwyk in Johannesburg, aangestel is en het vir ongeveer nege jaar vir Curro gewerk. Volgens een van die ouers is Groenewald ’n week voor die ouervergadering laas gesien en is sy net skielik vort sonder ’n woord. Marí Lategan, hoof van bemarking en kommunikasie by Curro Holdings, het by navraag bevestig die skoolgebou word vanaf 1 April deur Dot’s Learning Centre gebruik. “Dit sal Curro Holdings se eerste skool vir kinders met spesiale behoeftes wees,” het sy gesê. Dot’s Learning Centre is volgens sy webblad ’n tutorsentrum waar leerders met hul tuisonderrigprogram, wat ouers moet aankoop, bygestaan word. Dié sentrum is egter vir jare sonder wettige registrasie by die Wes-Kaapse onderwysdepartement bedryf. Dít is vroeg in 2016 deur die TygerBurger blootgelê, asook beweerde ongerymdhede met onder meer die verskaffing van memorandums aan matriekleerders saam met hul vraestelle – óók tydens toetse. Volgens Millicent Merton, woordvoerder van dié onderwysdepartement, is die sentrum egter wel intussen op 24 Augustus 2016

Hierdie foto van die byna voltooide Curro Castle Uitzich het in November in TygerBurger verskyn. FOTO: ESMÉ ERASMUS as ’n onafhanklike skool geregistreer. Volgens Merton bepaal hul regulasies dat die departement skriftelik in kennis gestel moet word van enige verandering in eienaarskap of enige verandering van perseel. Lategan het gesê al Curro Castle Uitzicht se bestaande 25 kinders is by ander bestaande Curro-skole soos Curro Castle Durbanville, Rosen Castle en Meridian Pinehurst geakkommodeer, terwyl die permanente personeellede elders ontplooi sal word. “Die ouers was fantasties met hierdie moeilike proses en die eerste leerders is reeds na hul nuwe skole geskuif,” het sy gesê. “Ons het reeds in ons jaarresultate aangedui ons wil ’n LSEN (Learners with Special Educative Needs)-opsie tot ons bestaande opset toevoeg.
“Dot’s Learning Centre is die eerste stap in daardie rigting. Die skool sal sy huidige naam behou,” het sy gesê. Volgens haar sal die vorige Stephanie Groenewald mede-eienaar en -stigter, Dorothy Nortjé, steeds by die skool betrokke wees. “Weens haar buitengewone kennis en vaardighede, sal sy haar posisie behou en Curro help met die ontwikkeling van sy LSEN-opsie,” het sy gesê.

Colourful rhinos on display ESMÉ ERASMUS @erasmusesme
crash of colourful rhinos has been on display at Meerendal Wine Estate since the beginning of March in support of rhino conservation. This forms part of the initiative by “The Rhinos are Coming!” (TRAC), a non-profit organisation on a mission to raise muchneeded funds and awareness for the plight of rhinos. Artisa, the company that partnered with Meerendal Wine Estate in 2016 to establish the Meerendal Art Gallery, recently collaborated with TRAC to host four life-size rhino sculptures at the Meerendal Art Gallery. The rhinos were painted by talented local artists. The exhibition will run until this Friday, after which the rhino sculptures will be showcased in the parade in the Cape Town Carnival on Saturday. The Grand Rhino Roadshow features a small herd of nine painted rhinos, which are part of an awareness campaign for the initiative that leads up to a three-month outdoor
art exhibition in Cape Town in December this year. This exhibition will feature 60 or more imaginatively painted rhino sculptures which will be exhibited on street corners, in parks and public spaces all around the City and surrounds. The auction of the sculptures after the exhibition will raise funds for the plight of the endangered rhino population. The four rhinos on exhibit at Meerendal have been temporarily named Pinotage, Pinotage Rosé, Sauvignon Blanc and Shiraz to suit their current home. Two new art exhibitions were opened at the Meerendal Art Gallery this past Saturday, namely the debut exhibition Fragmented Impressions by Jeremy Deyer from Cape Town, and a group exhibition by nine artists, namely Johnny Lai Sang, Monique Koning, Anton Gericke, Natasha Nel, Phulani Liebenberg, Schalk van der Walt, Ann and Anthony Gadd, Stella van Schalkwyk and Tay Dall. The exhibition can be viewed until the end of April. V What is your opinion on this article? Let us know at briewe@tygerburger.co.za.

Rolstoel kry sportman nie onder ESMÉ ERASMUS @erasmusesme
adat hy verlam gelaat is in ’n motorongeluk, het ’n jong man van Durbanville, ondanks die lang opdraande pad van rehabilitasie, hom nie laat onderkry nie. Sy sport was vir die gespierde Alwyn Uys (27) van D’Urbanvale, wat voor sy ongeluk ’n kranige rugbyspeler was, ’n keerpunt. Hy het in die vier jaar ná sy ongeluk sy fisieke krag só opgebou dat hy in Februarie vanjaar ’n rits prestasies in fietsry met sy handfiets behaal het – onder meer twee goue medaljes by die Suid-Afrikaanse Parafietsrykampioenskap op Oudthoorn. In November wil hy sy slag wys in triathlon – bestaande uit fietsry, swem en resiesstoel – by die 5150-triathlon-byeenkoms in Port Elizabeth. Sy toekoms was egter nie altyd vir hom so rooskleurig nie. Die vier maande lange rehabilitasie ná die ongeluk was uitmergelend. “Dit was nie ’n grap om so lank in die hospitaal te wees nie en dit was ’n hele proses om my spiere weer geleidelik op te bou,” vertel hy. Alwyn het in 2008 aan die Hoërskool Nico Malan op Humansdorp gematrikuleer. Die jaar daarna het hy vir die Sharks se o.19-rugbyspan uitgedraf, en ’n jaar later as student, vir Maties. Hy het vir Maties op agsteman gespeel tot 2013 toe hy sy B.Com-graad in kwantitatiewe bestuur (logistiek) behaal het. Hy het daarna in 2014 vir die Helderbergklub op Somerset-Wes begin speel. Hy het as bemarkingsanalis by hul vrugteuitvoer-familieonderneming aangesluit. Dit was sy eerste verlofnaweek en hy was op pad na Kirkwood om by ’n meisie te gaan kuier en sy arm was juis in ’n verband ná ’n rugbybesering. “My oë was net vir ’n oomblik van die pad, toe ek beheer oor die kar verloor het.” Die
Alwyn Uys het rede om trots te wees op die twee goue medaljes wat hy in Februarie gewen het. Agter hom is sy handfiets op sy aangepaste bakkie by sy huis in D’Urbanvale. FOTO: ESMÉ ERASMUS kar het gerol en hy het uitgeval. “Ek het my T8-rugwerwel gebreek, my nek gekraak, my regterskouer beseer en van my ribbes was gekraak.” Sy linkerdybeen is ook gebreek. “Dis ’n onvolledige besering en ek kry tog effe gevoel terug. Met terapie het baie van my maagspiere herstel, maar van my heup af ondertoe is daar geen beweging nie,” sê hy. Begin 2016 het hy besluit om sy sport te hervat. “Ek hou van sport en het maar gekyk wat daar is wat ek kan doen en met sculling (roei met twee spane) by Ikeys begin.” Hy het aan die MAS1-manskategorie by die South Africa University-sportbyeenkoms deelgeneem. “Ek was die enigste en eerste disabled roeier wat daaraan deelgeneem het,” vertel hy.
“Maar dit het logisties moeilik geraak om te oefen. ’n Mens kan by Zeekoeivlei gaan oefen, maar die weer het nie altyd saamgespeel nie. “Ek hou van driekamp en het reeds in 2014 vóór my ongeluk daaraan gedink om dit meer ernstig te op te neem – in draf, swem en fietsry. Ek het besluit om dit te probeer.” Hy het toe in 2016 sy eerste handfiets gekoop met die hulp van Ernst van Dyk (SA rolstoel- en handfietskampioen), met wie hy toe bevriend geraak het. Toe byt die gogga behoorlik. Alwyn het op 6 Februarie vanjaar ’n goue medalje in die H3-tydtoetsafdeling by die Suid-Afrikaanse Parafietsrykampioenskap op Oudthoorn gewen. Sy wentyd was 32 minute oor 15 km. Twee dae later in dieselfde kompetisie, het hy ook ’n goue medalje gewen in die padresies in die 45 km-sirkelroete. Nog ’n week later op 18 Februarie kom hy algeheel sesde in sy afdeling by die Outeniqua Cycle Challenge op George. Hy gaan eersdaags vir ’n operasie, waarna hy sy oefenprogram sal hervat om voor te berei vir die triathlon in November. Hy sal onder die vaandel van Best Bikes in Durbanville deelneem. “Mense hanteer jou anders oor jou gestremdheid. Sport speel ’n groot rol in my lewe – nie net vir myself nie, maar dit laat jou voel jy is nie uitgelaat of geïsoleer nie,” sê hy. Hy gaan ry dikwels met sy handfiets saam met sy ou vriende op hul padfietse. “Dis vir my lekker om saam met my pêlle fiets te ry,” sê hy. Hy jag ook graag in die Oos-Kaap en in Kimberley. “Ek skiet sommer uit die bakkie, of ry met ’n quad bike as ek gaan jag.” Hy gaan vang ook graag vis met hul boot by St. Francisbaai. Hy werk steeds vir hul familie-onderneming – hy werk net aanlyn vanaf sy huis in D’Urbanvale wat hy met vriende deel, en gaan so drie keer per week na hul kantoor op Wellington.

Man (38) sought for fraud
he Durbanville police are looking for a 38-year-old man in connection with cheque fraud. According to Captain Marchell Rhode, spokesperson for the Durbanville police, the man bought a cellphone to the value of R4500 at My Phone at the Cobble Walk Shopping Centre in Sonstraal Heights in 2012. He allegedly paid for the cellphone with a fraudulent cheque. The man was arrested and appeared several times in the Bellville Magistrate’s Court on a charge of fraud, after which he failed to appear again. A warrant of arrest is outstanding, Rhode says.

Denzil Smerdon an example to all in SA Denzil Smerdon is such a hero (“Many hands make light work at station”, 7/03). Public services in South Africa definitely need a facelift concerning their service to the public. As Cyril Ramsphosa said, we need to give of ourselves to make SA a better place, and Smerdon is a good example of what he meant. I recently visited a Sassa office in Eerste River. It’s really bad to see how old people have to stand in endless queues, just so that they can be told at 16:00 that they cannot be helped today. It would be great if retired members of the community would be willing to assist at these offices too. GERALD HERMAN Email
urves Cobble Walk in Durbanville presented a Water Warrior initiative at nine local playschools, which included a colouring-in competition, a short exercise session and the sharing of water-saving tips. Children from Kids Kingdom and Unique Playschool in Goedemoed, Twinkle Kidz Playschool in Tara Road and Pikkie Paradys in Hebron Road, Durbanville took part. Other participating schools were Cheeky Monkeys Nursery School in Sonstraal Heights, Geziggies Nursery School and Skilpadland Pre-primary School in Uitzicht, Secret Garden Playschool in Vredekloof, and High Five Nursery School in Goedemoed. “We demonstrated to them how to save water whilst brushing teeth. We showed them that leaving the tap running while brushing uses two litres of water as opposed
to only about 150ml when using a cup,” says Caroline Lock, business development manager: coastal region of Curves Africa. “They all thoroughly enjoyed it and were excited to go home and tell their parents how to save water and that they were now Water Warriors. As a thank you we gave all the teachers a free month at Curves and all the mothers a free week,” Lock says. V What is your opinion on this article? Let us know at briewe@tygerburger.co.za.

ie Durbanville-leesunie – op 80 jaar die tweede oudste boekklub in die land – het dié mylpaal verlede Dinsdag met ’n middagtee by die Evertdal-opstal in Durbanville gevier. Die leesunie is op 1 Maart 1938 gestig. Dit het gevolg op die stigting van die eerste leesunie, wat in 1919 deur ene Mabel Malherbe in Pretoria gestig is. Lulu Briers, wat met Malherbe bevriend was, het haar voorbeeld gevolg en die Durbanville-leesunie met ander stigterslede, Miemie Loubser, Herta Louw en Marie Sieberhagen, begin. Briers was voorsitter tot 1944, waarna Sieberhagen haar opgevolg en dié amp vir 38 jaar beklee het. Die oudste huidige lid is die 97-jarige Hildegard Serfontein. Die heel eerste skrywer wat die leesunie in 1952 genooi het om ’n boek te bespreek, was Audrey Blignaut. Ander interessante skrywers wat oor hul boeke gepraat het, was Sarah Goldblatt, Berta Smit, Alba Bouwer, Elsa Joubert en Anna M. Louw. André P. Brink het ook al kom gesels, asook Lina Spies, George Weidemann en Dan Sleigh. “Die blootstelling is iets besonders. Dit maak nuwe wêrelde vir ’n mens oop; dit gee jou ’n nuwe siening. Ons eie interpretasies (van boeke) is soms so beperk,” het Dalene le Roux, lid van die leesunie, gesê. “Dit is geweldig verrykend, maar dit is ook baie lekker om bymekaar te kom en met jou boekvriendinne te kuier,” het Bettie Ferreira, ’n vorige voorsitter, gesê. “Deesdae moet ons maar vroeg begin kuier, want hoe ouer die girls word, hoe vroeër daag hulle op!” lag sy. Vir ’n vereniging wat nou al tagtig jaar oud is, is die leesunie nog steeds flink aan die gang, soos dit blyk uit die goeie bywoning van vergaderings. Die leesunie kom die eerste Dinsdagmiddag van die maand bymekaar in die Durbanville-biblioteeksaal. Die volgende byeenkoms is op Dinsdag 8 Mei. Elsa Joubert sal praat oor haar boek Spertyd.

A “Just like Jesus” conference for parents, teachers and youth leaders is being presented from Tuesday 20 to Wednesday 21 March at El Shaddai Christian Church in Lord’s Walk, off Langeberg Road in Durbanville. “It is really our desire to get people excited about just how much Jesus wants to use our children to do His work, and give people practical steps on how to go about it,” says Zendré Wait of El Shaddai Christian Church. “I am sure that we would all love to see our children living like Jesus did, but sometimes it is really difficult to know where to start,” she says. The session topics include “Be who God says you are”, “Listen to the Father”, “Minister to the sick” and “Keep going”. The cost is R150, including refreshments and a light lunch. Goodie bags will be handed out to the first 100 people who register. The conference takes place on Tuesday 20 March from 18:30 to 21:30 and on Wednesday 21 March from 09:00 to 15:00. Babysitting services are available on request. V For more information or to register, visit http://qkt.io/JustLikeJesus.
