3 WAY AUTO­BEDROG: PAARTJIE OORNAG IN AANHOUDING
Voor op 86 aanklagtes MAGRIET THERON @magrietron
ie eienaar van 3 Way Auto in Parow, Jaco Smit, en sy vriendin, Cecile Heyns, het hulself Woensdag 11 Junie aan die Parow-polisie oorgegee. Smit en Heyns, wat in Brackenfell woon, is vir twee weke deur die polisie gesoek. Volgens kol. Phindi Ntungele, stasiebevelvoerder van die Parow-polisie, staan hulle tereg op minstens 86 aanklagte van bedrog. Hul onderneming het tweedehandse motors verkoop, maar na bewering nooit die oorspronklike eienaars betaal nie. Hulle het Woensdagaand by die Parow-polisiekantoor in aanhouding oornag en het Donderdag op aanklagte van bedrog in die Bellvillese kommersiële hof verskyn. Hulle is borgtog van onderskeidelik R60 000 en R20 000 toegestaan. Die balju het verlede week op alle vaste bates in die kantore beslag gelê. Vroeër is gespekuleer dat hulle die land verlaat het, maar volgens Ntungele was hul advokaat in samesprekings met die ondersoekbeampte sedert 3 Way Auto sy deure op 30 Mei gesluit en hulle uit die openbare oog verdwyn het. Daar is ook in die media berig dat die som van die bedroggeld tot soveel as R40 miljoen beloop. Maar Ntungele sê dit is nie waar nie.
Sy sê volgens hul berekeninge is dit eerder nader aan R3 miljoen. Sekere van slagoffers van die beweerde bedrog, het die bekende privaatspeurder van Pretoria, Mike Bolhuis, genader om die saak te ondersoek. Een van die mense wat sê sy is deur 3 Way Auto gekul, is Candice Groenewald, ’n laerskoolonderwyser, wat haar motor wou verkoop om haar persoonlike lening af te betaal. Sy beweer die tjeks waarmee 3 Way Auto haar betaal het, het almal gehop. ’n Dokument wat deur Smit en die balju onderteken is, is vroeër verlede week in die vensterraam van 3 Way Auto se kantoor vasgeknyp. Daarop staan Smit se tjekrekening is R2,5 miljoen in die rooi. Smit en Heyns het ’n ondersoekspan van die Parow-polisie Vrydagoggend na die verlate perseel van 3 Way Auto op die hoek van Boompiesstraat en Voortrekkerweg vergesel om die kantore te deursoek. ’n Lasbrief is Donderdag, ná hulle hofverskyning, uitgereik. Dit wou voorkom of die slotte van die deure intussen verander is, en die polisie moes die deure met ’n koevoet oopmaak. Toe die polisie by die perseel opdaag, het hulle op ’n man afgekom wat iets uit die kantoor kom haal het. Hy het vinnig in sy kar geklim en weggery. Sy VW Jetta is later uitgeken as die eiendom van ’n motorhandelaar in Goodwood.

Sign points out scrap thieves ANDRÉ BAKKES
makeshift trolley was, for a while, known as Tanzanite Boulevard last week Tuesday. The road sign was supposedly to be sold for scrapmetal by two suspects for about R1.80 per kilogram. That would equate to about R36. The City of Cape Town’s Metals Theft Unit, also known as the “Copperheads”, arrested the two near Montague Gardens after they initially responded to an unrelated complaint. “Last week Tuesday the Copperheads received a tip-off about cable theft in Milnerton,” said Metals Theft Unit assistant chief Neil Arendse. Earlier that evening a vehicle had collided with a traffic signal pole and it was reported that suspects were stealing the cabling from inside the pole. However, when
they arrived at the scene, the cables were intact and there was no one around. They searched the area and noticed two men (one of whom was pushing a makeshift trolley) acting suspiciously on the corner of Plattekloof and Koeberg Road. On inspection, officers found the road sign for Tanzanite Boulevard in their possession. The two suspects were arrested for possession of stolen property and taken to the Milnerton police station.
Scrap for drugs A scrapmetal dealer, who has been in the industry for more than a decade, says road signs are made from mild steel. “If a sign is thinner than 3 mm then it is sub grade, and for this you get approximately R1.80 per kilo,” Parow Valley’s Michael Erasmus from MegaMetals. “Having been in this industry for a while I have dealt with many people who steal road signs and try to sell it to us. They are generally not trying
to sell these for bread or milk, but rather for drugs. So for R36 they can probably buy about two tik ‘lollies’.” Erasmus adds it is illegal to buy metal such as road signs, and they assist Parow police in busting these kind of criminals.
Stolen metal “These guys don’t normally come to businesses such as ours, but rather to ‘bucket shops’, who then sold bulk loads to us. We will not, however, buy metal that was clearly stolen. Some bucket shops nonetheless pay criminals for bringing them stolen metals. If there wasn’t a market for it then these signs would not be stolen.” The city spends hundreds of thousands of rands every year to replace stolen road signs. V Residents are reminded to contact the Copperhe­ ads on 0800 222 771 with any tip­offs that could lead to the apprehension of those involved in the illegal metals trade.
Trackers shackle cellphone thieves MAGRIET THERON @magrietron
With the aid of modern technology, the Parow police managed to put away several criminals recently. Parow police spokesperson Lt Kevin Williams said a man had his phone snatched on Station Road on 3 June. The phone was then sold to a cellphone shop in the same street. The man traced his phone and police arrested five suspects (all aged 25), including the shop owner. On the same day a man was robbed of his tablet and phone in Alexander street. The victim reported the incident to his manager, who activated the tracker device on the cell phone. The phone was traced to a residence in Victoria Street in Parow and a suspect was arrested. The suspects in both cases appeared in the Bellville Magistrates court. Parow detective constable Olebogeng Keokame won a guilty verdict in the Bellville Magistrates court after investigating a case in which phones to the value of nearly R600 000 were stolen. Ricardo Maneveldt from Mitchell Plain was found guilty and sentenced to 5 years imprisonment (which was also conditionally suspended for 5 years), for stealing 160 cell phones from his employer, Cell C.

Fever trees hacked for medicine MAGRIET THERON
andalism or survival? In Parow and Bellville, Fever trees that line the streets are, almost without exception, being stripped of the bright green bark that make them such popular decorative trees. The Xanthophloea Acacia, one of the 40 sub species of the Acacia tree, is not called the Fever Tree for nothing. This tree is widely used in different cultures for its medicinal properties. “There is a man with a funny accent that comes here from time to time with a panga and a bag,” says a car guard, known only as Maria, at the parking area in Van Eyssen road in Parow, where Fever trees are planted on all the islands between the parking spaces. Maria says the man hacks the bark off the trees with his panga. He told her he uses it as medicine. She says some of the residents in the area have asked her to call them when she sees him, so that they can alert the police. Almost all the saplings have been damaged like this. According to prof Ben-Erik van Wyk, who teaches Botany at the University of Johannesburg and is an expert in the medicinal uses of plants, the bark of the Fever tree is used to treat Malaria, abdominal pain and is widely used as a good-luck charm. The Fever tree is also one of the Ubulawu trees, a term for plants that is believed to cause visionary and prophetic dreams, allowing one to connect with and receive messages from the ancestors and spiritual world. The bark is also prepared to treat fever and eye complaints as well as sickle cell anaemia. In the 1990s a study showed that the Fever tree was the sixth most popular tree to utilise for medicinal properties around the Kruger National Park. Deo Ty, also known as Dr Napoleon, in Pa-

Veldtog se doel is om TB uit te roei MAGRIET THERON @magrietron
ie Wes-Kaapse department van gesondheid hoop dat meer inligting oor tuberkulose (TB) aan die gemeenskap sal help om hierdie gevreesde en dodelike siekte stelselmatig uit te roei. Alhoewel die Wes-Kaap volgens die Wêreldgesondheidsorganisasie (WGO) die beste genesingskoers vir TB in die land het, is Suid-Afrika steeds wêreldwyd die land met die derde meeste TB-infeksies. In 2013 is 45 000 diagnoses gemaak. Theuns Botha, die Wes-Kaapse minister van gesondheid, sit nou sy voet neer. “Ons moet ’n ander benadering vind om TB te voorkom en te behandel. Ek oorweeg dit om TB-sifting in die skoolgesondheidstelsel voor te stel,” sê hy. Terwyl internasionale akademici verlede week by die vierde jaarlikse TB-kongres in Durban bymekaar gekom het om oor dié siekte se epidemiese omvang te praat, het Botha gesê ’n reuse-poging is nodig om individue en gemeenskappe se ingesteldheid teenoor die siekte te verander en wanopvattings aan te spreek.
Opsporing Dié departement gaan eersdaags met ’n nuwe bewusmakingsveldtog begin in die hoop om die vroeë opsporing en behandeling van veral middelbestande-TB (DR-TB) aan te moedig. Die veldtog sal uit radio-advertensies en kontak met die publiek by taxi-staanplekke en treinstasies bestaan. Al meer pasiënte, wat voorheen nie TB gehad het nie, word daagliks met DR-TB gediagnoseer. Volgens prof. Simon Schaaf, kenner en gerekende navorser van DR-TB by die Tygerberg-kampus van die Universi-
teit Stellenbosch, is dit eers onlangs bewys dat DR-TB aansteeklik is. Maar, sê hy, kinders veral reageer goed op behandeling, mits hulle vroegtydig gediagnoseer word. En alhoewel ’n middel teen weerstandige TB volgens berigte binnekort in Suid-Afrika beskikbaar gaan wees, berig Elsabé Brits in Die Burger dat dit nog ten minste twee jaar se studie sal neem om die regte kombinasies van medikasie te kry om DRTB te behandel. Sy berig voorts dat SuidAfrika hoop om ook die generiese weergawe van ’n ander middel te bekom en te laat goedkeur, maar hierdie medikasie kan meer as R3 000 per maand per pasiënt kos.
Omgewings TB word versprei in swak geventileerde, beperkte omgewings. Weens die druk op hospitaalbeddens, kan pasiënte nie meer soos in die verlede vir ses maande lank gehospitaliseer word nie. Daarom vestig Botha en sy departement hul inligtingsveldtog op die gemeenskap. Sedert 2011 is DR-TB-behandeling gedesentraliseer, omdat pasiënte tuis dikwels beter ondersteuning kan kry. Volgens Botha is hierdie gedesentraliseerde sorg, wat in meeste gevalle deur klinieke in plaas van hospitalisasie verskaf word, baie suksesvol. “Pasiënte kon behandeling ontvang in die gemeenskap waarin hulle bly, dus word die gesinseenheid gehandhaaf,” sê hy. Dit het ook tot gevolg gehad dat die aantal dae vandat ’n pasiënt gediagnoseer is tot hy of sy medikasie kan begin ontvang, gedaal het van 72 na ongeveer 17 dae gemiddeld. Botha sê die bewusmakingsveldtog het ten doel om die stigma rondom die siekte aan te spreek en om vroeë opsporing en behandeling vir DR-TB aan te moedig.

Criminals are greedy, not needy ASTRID FEBRUARIE @febastrid
ost crime, such as home invasions and hijackings, are motivated by greed. Few criminals steal to put food on the table. Christopher Plum, a 34-year-old former prisoner who did a stint in prison for armed robbery, gave insight into the criminal mind. The talk at Oude Moulen Technical High school on Thursday 29 May was attended by residents, police and the neighbourhood watch. Plum, who served 12 years of his 25-year sentence for armed robbery, spoke freely about his life before his sentencing. “I believe I am a rehabilitated prisoner. While I was in prison I had time to reflect on the things I did and how I hurt the victims of the robberies I committed,” he said. “I felt I needed to change. No one should be treated the way I treated people.” Plum joined the Prison Care and Support Network while behind bars. The programme is aimed at empowering inmates and encouraging their reform. He says many of the people whom he knew were involved in house robberies and other crimes, were motivated solely by greed.
Blame game “They want things that other people have,” he says. “They blame the system, they blame apartheid, but they never blame themselves.” An underlying anger builds up within them and they try to convince themselves if they commit a crime they would make things even, he says. “Even though they know they are stealing material things which can be replaced, the satisfaction of the crime lasts only a short while.”
Plum was released on Thursday 22 October 2009, a pivotal moment for him as he felt renewed and wanted to transform into a better person. However, he says, his family still believed he was the same. “It was difficult for my family to accept me, but after a while they realised I had changed. I was a different man. I was no longer the uncle who would take his gun, walk two or three houses down the road, rob the people and use the money to buy food for my family. I had changed,” he says. Plum explained the process he followed before committing a house robbery. First he and the thieves he worked with would find a house suitable to break into. They would steal the mail, scrutinise it for any details, and then look up the homeowner’s name in the telephone directory. They would then call the number to check if anyone was at home. After this they would go to the address and keep it under surveillance, checking how many people live there, what time they leave for work and return, and if there is a domestic worker or gardener. After a week, they would know exactly what the residents’ routines were. Then they would meet and devise a plan of action. “After we have decided on the time and day we would go to the house, one of us would jump over the wall and wait in the garden – in a place where it is dark, where no one will see us,” he says. Plum said the real “trouble” starts when residents return, pulling in to their drive-
way and getting out the car. They would then strike. “Do not try to be strong or in control when this happens. Remember the robber is just as scared and nervous as you are. They do not want to go to prison or be killed,” Plum says. The victim is threatened, taken inside and bound. What follows is the systematic ransacking of the house and taking any valuables they find.
“They want things that other people have,” he says. “They blame the system, they blame apartheid, but they never blame themselves.”
Business robbery Plum said they would always get an insider to assist with information needed to pull off the robbery. At business robberies they would charm the secretary or receptionist and so obtain information. At home robberies, they would target domestic workers or gardeners. The gang would rent a “nice” car from a car rental agency. They would then drive to the airport, find a car with matching colour and model, and copy that vehicle’s number plate and serial number. “We had a guy who would cut a new number plate for us and we would remove the number plate from the hired car and replace it with the new one,” he says. One of them would then dress smartly and show up at a business they are targeting in the hired car. Once inside they would usually target a woman working at the business. “We would take her out and get to know her and after a while the questioning would begin,” he says. The woman would be asked where the “boss” kept the safe and where the panic but-
LET’S SHOW THEM d WE CARE! spokeeaf chGiive nl
ton is, Plum says. “We would then follow the boss to and from work and once we get to the work premises we would rob them. “Usually we would not rob a place with a panic button, because it is silent and one cannot hear it. If there is one we would abort the robbery,” he said. Plum’s advice to business owners is to ensure their staff walk around with cordless panic buttons, as the robbers are familiar with the usual spot a panic button is placed. “We would know if someone attempts to press the panic button when they keep their hands below the desk. Do not put your life at risk. Keep calm and always do as the robber says. This way no one will get hurt,” he said. Plum said he discovered that through Prison Care and Support Network’s workshops and talking and dissecting the circumstances of his crime, he realised and accepted he had no valid reason to be a criminal. “Blaming my circumstances on the past is false motivation, because we know what we are doing is wrong, especially when we are in the act of committing the crime. We know deep down what we are doing could get us killed, sentenced to prison or result in the death of an innocent person. But we do it because we think we will be better off.” Plum’s honesty won his audience over the general attitude from residents was that of appreciation. Many questioned how they could safeguard themselves and their property. He also told them to change their routine as criminals are quick to track their every move and use this to their advantage. People should ensure they remain observant and report suspicious behaviour to the police. Security systems should be regularly checked and kept on at all times as criminals will take advantage of any laxity on the part of homeowners or business owners.
Ta’ Anna kry toe sommer ’n ‘alias’ Die nimlike 91-jarige ta’ Ann,a wat in verlede Woensdag se uitgawe op ons voorblad gepryk het, kry toe wraggies ’n “dubbelganger” in die meegaande berig op bl.9! Só het prof. Deon Knobel, uitgewer van tannie Anna du Preez van Bellville, laat weet nadat TygerBurger die berig en foto geplaas het om die gemeenskap van die tante se eerste boekbekendstelling verlede Maandag in te lig (“Ta’ Anna publiseer op 91”). Op die voorblad noem ons haar wel “Du Preez”, maar helaas, op bl. 9 raak sy met behulp van die drukkersduiwel toe sommer tannie Anna “van Zyl”! Soos “Proffie”, of Knobel, toe skerts: “Toe antwoord ek haar: ‘Ta’ Anna, elke Persiese tapyt moet ’n fout hê – net om te wys dat die tapytwewer nie volmaak is nie!” TygerBurger vra verskoning vir enige ongerief wat die verkeerde naam kon veroorsaak het.

STAD VERSOEK INWONERS OM DIE ONWETTIGE VERKOOP VAN GESTEELDE RAADSVULLISSAKKE AAN TE MELD In ’n poging om die diefstal en herverkoop van Raadsvullissakke hok te slaan, druk die Stad se departement vasteafvalbestuur sedert Junie 2013 die letters “CCT SWM” gevolg deur ’n reeksnommer in swart teks op al die Raad se blou sakke. Dit sal verseker dat alle gesteelde sakke herken en die oorsprong daarvan opgespoor kan word. Ondanks hierdie maatreëls wat getref is, ervaar die Stad steeds diefstal van die blou sakke wat dan onwettig op straat asook in sommige winkels verkoop word. Die Stad versoek inwoners weereens om glad nie blou vullissakke op straathoeke te koop nie, aangesien dit gesteelde goedere is. Die vullissakke word gewoonlik saam met ander sakke verpak en gevou om die drukwerk weg te steek. Daar kan aangeneem word dat alle blou sakke gesteelde sakke is. Blou sakke word slegs vir al die aktiwiteite en programme van die departement vasteafvalbestuur se skoonmaaktak gebruik. As jy enige individu of winkel raaksien wat hierdie sakke verkoop, meld dit aan by die verliesbeheertak van die Stad se departement vasteafvalbestuur by 021 900 1689 of e-pos riaan.truter@capetown.gov.za. Jou samewerking en hulp hiermee word hoog op prys gestel. Hierdie optrede is in lyn met die handhawing van ’n goed bestuurde stad.

E­smokers may also be out in the cold DESIREÉ RORKE @dezzierorke
-cigarette users happily “vaping” in local pubs and restaurants in Cape Town may soon be out in the cold, as the national Department of Health is considering amendments to tobacco legislation. Currently, the “e-cig” cannot be read into the definition of a tobacco product in terms of the Act as it does not contain tobacco – hence regulations relating to smoking tobacco in public places do not apply. “Amendments are needed to the legislation to ensure that e-cigarettes are regulated and this is currently under consideration,” said city mayco member for health, Benedicta van Minnen.

This current status quo regarding the issue was supplied by the national department to the City of Cape Town when it recently sought a legal opinion on the matter. “We are not inundated with complaints, however, there has been an increase in the number of enquiries, especially from managers and owners in the workplace. The nature of the enquiries are whether smoking of the product in offices and canteens is allowed; if they should adapt their workplace smoking policy; whether patrons can smoke the device in the non-smoking area of restaurants; and whether the fines are the same as for smoking cigarettes in public places,” she said.
Tobacco alternative According to her, the city specifically wanted to know whether they can enforce the current tobacco legislation on e-cigarettes. Electronic cigarettes are an alternative method of consuming nicotine, the addictive chemical found in tobacco. They look like cigarettes, but contain no tobacco or other harmful chemicals such as carbon dioxide and tar. The “e-cig”, which was patented in China in 2003, is battery operated and converts liquid into a vapour that is inhaled. Although manufacturers claim it to be the healthy alternative to tobacco cigarettes, there are some concerns over the possibility that the vapour exhaled might contain harmful elements. “The jury is still out on exactly how safe, or not, e-cigarettes are. We know that some establishments allow the use of these devices indoors because they emit vapour instead of smoke,” said van Minnen. She says these devices are currently controversial worldwide because they are so new and there is a lack of long-term scientific evidence to support their safety. “Some countries such as France and Aus-
tralia have gone as far as banning the use of these products in public places.
Review “The World Health Organization (WHO) is currently reviewing the existing evidence around e-cigarettes and preparing a paper for submission to the meeting of the Parties of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, which occurs later this year,” she said. “They are also working with national regulatory bodies to look at regularity options as well as toxicology experts to understand more about the impact e-cigarrettes may have on health.” When asked whether the city would like to see the current legislation changed to include
e-cigarettes into its ambit, she was ambivalent. “Some studies support the use and others oppose it. As stated, in the absence of sufficient scientific evidence regarding the safety and effects of the product, this makes it difficult to support or not support the use of e-cigarettes in public places. “Presently, it is not covered in the legislation and we will therefore await guidance from the National Department of Health,” she said. In New York City, new regulations placing e-cigarettes under the same rules as normal cigarettes, were imposed two weeks ago, banning it from public places such as bars and restaurants. In the UK, the debate rages on.

Haweloses weer in volle glorie terug Baie dankie vir jul koerant. Ek kan nie wag vir Woensdae om te sien wat in my kontrei gebeur nie. Die eindelose probleem wat wel elke week verskyn, is die haweloses in die Parow-gebied. Was my blydskap nie groot toe ek verlede maand lees dat die haweloses, wat by die Hoërskool Tygerberg woon, uitgesorteer is nie. Ag, dit was nie twee weke nie of hulle is weer in hul volle glorie terug. Ons eiendomsbelasting en vullisverwydering styg elke jaar, maar ons gebied verswak daagliks met die mense wat oral ontlas. Sondag-
aande word jou vullisdrom al aangeval; jou persoonlike vullis word op die grond uitgegooi en die wind waai dit oral rond. Jou potplante word uit houers gegooi, sodat potplanthouers gesteel kan word; krane word afgebreek en gesteel; jou huis se nommer en posbus word afgesteel. Ek is jammer vir hulle, maar wat doen die Stad Kaapstad om hierdie te mense te help? Kan daar nie ’n area in die nywerheidsgebied verkry word waar daar ’n klomp ou skeepshouers geplaas kan word met ’n kraan, mobiele toilette, vuurmaakplek en ’n tipe van ’n koepon, wat hulle moet toon om daar verniet te slaap nie? Gee ’n werklose persoon die werk om bietjie orde te hou, net soos die mense by die munisipale stortingsterreine. Terselfdertyd verskaf ’n mens werk aan ander. Asseblief manne in die kantore, sit koppe bymekaar. E. VAN ZIJL Parow

Dié wenresep is trooskos vir die winter Vandeesweek deel ek ’n wenresep wat jy in jou prutpot (slow cooker) kan maak – heerlike trooskos vir die winter. Jy sal baie ver moet soek om ’n dis te kry wat minder moeite en makliker is om te maak as dié een. En jy word verder beloon deur ’n uitstekende resultaat. Voorbereiding neem net ’n paar minute en jy is reg om heeldag by die winkels te gaan rondloop, te gaan fliek en koffie drink. En nou loop ek die gevaar om soos die laatnag-televisie-advertensies te klink, maar dit is nie al wat jy kry met hierdie resep nie! Gebruik hierdie basisresep om vele ander pastageregte te prakseer en te maak. Met hierdie resep sien jy nou hoe maklik dit is. Gebruik enige pastavorms en wissel die bestanddele af om ander interessante disse te maak. Jy kan selfs spaghetti in kleiner stukkies breek en so gebruik. Voeg dan jou maalvleis en ander bestanddele by vir heerlike spaghetti bolognese. Skulpies pasta kan jy met spekvleis, sampioene en ander gemengde groente, wat blokkies gesny is, meng. Hou net ingedagte dat jy genoeg vloeistof moet byvoeg om jou pasta lekker sag in te kook, soos die basisresep aandui. Vir ’n liplekker seekos-pastagereg, vervang 250 ml van die melk met room en voeg ’n bietjie gerookte Paprika en vars knoffel by.

French collection for Parow library MAGRIET THERON @magrietron
A hand picked selection of 150 beautiful new French childrens’ books are waiting to be read at the Parow Library. The books were donated by the Alliance Française and the French Institute as part of a literary collaboration between France and South Africa. Parow Library is the second South African library to receive a donation from them. “These books can be taken out from today,” said head librarian Kathleen Laishley upon receiving the books on 11 June. “Many children in this area are French speaking, but they do not necessarily read or write in their mother tongue,” she says. “It might be very important for them to be able to do that, should they one day return to their country of origin.” Natalie Marinus, head of Parow Preparatory school, says they have many French speaking learners from Francophone Africa. “Some of these children can hardly speak English,”

Fond memories of magnificent grain silo DESIREÉ RORKE @dezzierorke
t was a chilly winter’s day in August 2001, when Robert Hurn closed the big doors of the Grain Elevator and Silo complex in the Cape Town harbour for the last time. As he walked away he had tears in his eyes, a heavy heart, and a piece of history in his hand. In his lounge in Morgenster, Brackenfell he takes this priceless item out, dusts it off andd, with the enthusiasm of a young boy, shows off the workings of the antique old padlock that used to lock the silo doors. Since closing down more than 10 years ago, the old grey landmark built by the South African Railways and Harbours in 1921 has stood derelict. “There is a lot of history there, in that building,” says Robert, who is now retired, as he unlocks the old solid brass lock edged on its side with the company name, Yale & Town Mfg Co. “On the last day, after paying the last wages and closing up, I took off this lock and replaced it with another, it was my souvenir,” he says. “I will only sell it to the new developers on condition that they box frame it and hang it near the old door in the entrance hall of the new art gallery,” he says in the hope that old remnants of the building will feature in the new design. The old silo is to be transformed into the world’s largest modern African art museum. It is to be the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa. The massive R500 million project recently started and is set for completion in March 2016 under the watchful eye of visio-
Robert with a photo of the silos dating from the early ’80s. nary architect Thomas Heatherwick. (see article in TygerBurger, 4 June). When Robert starts talking about the building where he spent two decades of his working life as silo foreman, his eyes light up. Robert moved from East London in 1980 to take up the job offered by the South African Railways and Harbours (SAR). He got to know every nook and cranny of the building and he eagerly explains its workings. “These silos stored an incredible 30 000 tons of maize and it would sometimes take us days to load one carrier ship. Some of these ships were loaded with up to 19 000 tonnes of grain.” “In the mornings before loading started, I would walk up the gang plank onto the ship,
but when I left the ship at the end of the day, no gang plank was necessary. Due to the weight of the ship I would merely hop onto the harbour platform.” The old Silo also holds a bag full of personal memories for Robert. On holidays and weekends friends and families of employees often spent afternoons in the old port captain’s office situated on top of the silo roof. “From here we had the best vantage point of the Cape Town harbour, Table Mountain and the city and often watched the occasional firework displays from there at night.” “I also remember watching big ships or sail boats coming into the harbour. On misty mornings, it was remarkable, the big sails just suddenly appearing from the mist.”
There were tragedies too. Especially grisly was the story of the young man who fell into an empty bin, in the years before the bins were grated. “He was sent down to the bin to run an errant, where he made a misstep and fell into the 57 meter high empty silo. Nobody saw it and wondered what had happened to him that day. The silo was unknowingly filled up on top of him and everyone went home that evening. It was only the next day that his body was discovered when someone noted blood dripping from the bottom of a silo. We had to run all the wheat out to retrieve his body.” Many times, workers hoisted down the silos to clean them, had to be rescued when grain came loose from the sides and trapped them neck high. Robert himself had to once endure this. For many Capetonians and various developers eyeing the site over the years, it may have been an eyesore but for Robert it remained an engineering marvel or its time. It was probably this passion which lead to Robert being approached by industrial archaeologist David Worth, the man who according to Robert was instrumental in the preservation of the old silo. “I took him out there and showed him around, pointed out the details of the building and it’s workings,” he says. Robert too, is ecstatic about the future of the building. “I can rest assured in the knowledge that this building will not be broken down for a very long time. My first grandson was born this week, and I look forward to taking him to this museum one day and telling him this is where his grandpa worked.”

Northlink contributes to Africa Day Northlink college students from the Performing Arts, Engineering and Clothing departments celebrated Africa Day in style at Artscape. The African theme was captured in the outfits the performing arts students wore on the day, which were designed and made by the clothing production students. During their performance, they invited Artscape visitors to take coloured pellets and place them into a 1.8m by 1.6m African continent mould constructed by the engineering students. “We are honoured as one of the colleges in the Cape Town area to have been chosen to participate in the celebrations of Africa Day,” said Northlink HOD Rene Bonzet. “The college got the chance to share the students’ talents and cultural background as well as celebrate our diversity as an FET College, and our African heritage.”

Emo wants to see your shongololo “A shongololo is a millipede, or as it’s known in South Africa, a duisendpoot, and if all their legs do the same thing you get a shuffle, a Shongololo Shuffle.” Emo Adams is hoping to launch South Africa’s version of the “Macarena” with his new song “Shongololo Shuffle”. Emo wrote the song with the aim of creating a dance movement that South Africans can call their own. He is inviting dancers, choreographers, crews, schools or any group to choreograph and record their own dance moves to the song, upload it and encourage people to vote for their video. The best dance routine will become the song’s official music video and will be professionally recorded before it is launched nationally. The competition is open to anyone as long as they choreograph the entire song. Participants can enter as many videos as they like, as long at the dance moves differ. Once the video has been uploaded to YouTube, participants must email the video link to emo@live.co.za. V The competition closes on 30 June and the more views and “likes” your video gets, the better your chances of winning. V Visit www.tygerburger.co.za to listen to and download “Shongololo Shuffle”.

NETBALL: SCOTLAND TEST BEFORE COMMONWEALTH GAMES
Series to prep players T
he success of the five-week Brutal Fruit Netball Cup will be put to the test this week when the SPAR national netball team play a three-test series against Scotland in Cape Town. The tests will be played at the Velodrome in Bellville on consecutive days, between 19 and 21 June. “It is a very opportune time for us to play this series,” said Netball South Africa (NSA) President Mimi Mthethwa. “We have just finished the Brutal Fruit Netball Cup, and this series gives us a chance to see how the players have progressed. Also, with the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow in July - our big focus for this year - we will be able to try out the team and see
how prepared the players are for the challenge ahead of them.” There are three new caps in the squad announced after the Brutal Fruit Netball Cup final on Sunday. “The Scotland series is an ideal opportunity to expose young players to international netball,” said head coach of the SPAR national team, Elize Kotze.
Amazing reach “Lenise Potgieter is a very talented young player. She’s only 20, but she showed a great maturity during the Brutal Fruit Netball Cup, standing up against experienced defenders like Karla Mostert and Adele Niemand. She has an amazing reach, and she plays ve-
Drivers skid around in the wet at Killarney ADRIAN PHEIFER Killarney hosted the fourth round of the Power Series this past Saturday. The morning started off with a dry track but this quickly changed as the morning progressed. This resulted in many upsets during the early morning qualifying sessions. By the time the first race started the track was wet. However, this was only the start of the rain to come. The Makita Supercars were the first race of the day and they put on a great show in the tricky conditions. Despite the damp, Nick Adcock and Brad Wadely were in great form as they finished in that order almost side by side. The Silver class belonged to Garth Easom while Stuart Spooner took top honours in the Bronze class. Then the heavens really opened up as the Charl Eng. Fine Cars took to the grid. The first laps resulted in the red flags being pulled out after Dereck Jordaan (Ford XR6) and Maurice Tascano (VW Passat) had a coming together. The race was restarted after the debris was cleared, and victory then went to Eric van der Merwe (Porsche 944 Turbo) from Ray Cooper (Escort GT) and Piet Matthee (Porsche 944). Then the Midas Clubmans series was also action packed with a full field of almost fifty cars taking to the grid. Danie van Niekerk
drove a spectacular race, taking his Turbo charged BMW from the back of the grid all the way to the front and finally taking first position, he was closely followed by a pack of front wheel drive cars, included Ernest Liete (VW Caddy) who qualified in 22nd position. However, by the end of the race Ernie secured second position overall and first in his class. Class winners included Michael le Sueur (class D, VW Golf), Eric Nel (class E, VW Fox), and Wayne Kraukamp (class F, Toyota Tazz), who took advantage of the slipper conditions to take third, fourth and fifth overall. Coping with the power of the V8 Masters cars on the equivalent of an ice rink was obviously going to be a problem. Despite that, a justifiably cautious Favio Tafani was able to remain ahead of Marcel Angel, Stephan Young and Charles Arton, who were the only other finishers. The Jive GTi challenge began with the water across the track making waves that rivalled the surf at Big Bay, and cars went off in all directions. Well done to Nian du Toit and Stiaan Kriel for surfing in the right direction while on their way to finish first and second. Let’s not forget Kosie Weyers, Jonathan Aberdien and Ebrahiem Levy, who all deserve special mention . Eighteen-year-old Aberdien did well to claim top honours in class B.
ry much like Irene van Dyk,” said Kotze. “The other two newcomers are both defenders, Kefiloe “Fifi” Tsotetsi and Phumza Maweni. Phumza was outstanding for the Southern Stings, who won all their matches, and what I love about Fifi is that she trains every day against Chante Steyn at the Northern Flames, and that will help us when we meet those huge Jamaicans at the Commonwealth Games.” Steyn, at 195 centimetres, was one of the tallest and most solid players in the Brutal Fruit Netball Cup. The team to play against Scotland will to a large extent be the team that will represent South Africa at the Commonwealth Games. Scotland are ranked 13th by the Internati-
onal Netball Federation, while South Africa are ranked sixth.
Commonwealth groupings The two teams are in different pools at the Commonwealth Games, with Scotland coming up against New Zealand, Jamaica, Malawi, Northern Ireland and St Lucia, while South Africa are grouped with Australia, England, Wales, Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados. “If we win all three Tests against Scotland, we will move up to fifth in the world rankings,” said Kotze. Tickets for the Scotland series are available at the Velodrome. They cost R20, and R10 for children under 13.
