CRIME: MASKED MEN TIE UP HOUSE OWNERS
Balaclava gang strike
n armed gang using balaclavas for
masks is striking fear into the hearts
of Joostenbergvlakte residents following a further two house robberies.
In the first incident on Wednesday 9 April,
the four masked men, all armed with knives,
entered the yard of a house in Mikpunt at
“The couple were inside the house watching television. When the husband took the
dogs outside he was confronted by the gang,”
says W/O Khunjulwa Sam, spokesperson for
the Kraaifontein police station.
“They forced him back inside the house
where they tied him and his wife up and
asked them where their safe was and where
they kept their money.
“While the couple remained tied up in the
lounge the robbers raided the safe and the
house and fled with a pistol, jewellery, two
cellphones, two tablets and a laptop, all to
the value of R31 000,” she said.
A few weeks earlier, a similar incident
took place in Joostenbergvlakte, resulting in
residents now believing that it is the same
gang operating in the area.
This incident took place at 22:00 on 24
March, also in Mikpunt.
“The complainant went to sleep after locking up the house. She was later woken by
a noise and found a unknown man wearing
a balaclava next to her bed. When she switched on the bedside lamp, he told her to keep
quiet. Three other suspects, all wearing balaclavas, and one armed with a knife entered
the room, tied the woman up and gagged her
mouth,” said Sam.
While the woman was tied up the gang collected valuable items in the house, to the va-
lue of R200 000.
Sam said investigations were ongoing but
According to Stefan Smit of the Joostenbergvlakte neighbourhood watch, this gang
has been active in the area for some time.
“Apart from these two incidents, there have been many other foiled attempts by what
we suspect to be the same gang. These attempts were mostly thwarted by barking guard dogs warning the home owners,” he said.
The Kraaifontein police urged residents
in the area to be vigilant and ensure doors
and windows are secured at night.

Laan gespeel het, is een van die gaste wat
Vrydagaand 25 April by die Tygervalleiwinkelsentrum se Vallei van die Sterre
gaan optree. Neil bly deesdae in Los Angeles.
TygerBurger het hom ’n paar vrae gevra:
1. Kom jy darem nou en dan Suid-Afrika toe?
Ja, ek is nogal gereeld in Suid-Afrika.
Ten minste twee keer ’n jaar.
2. En jy is juis nou op pad SA toe?
Ek kom skiet ’n movie in Kaapstad. En
dan kom ek bietjie vroeër, want ek wou deel
wees van die Vallei van die Sterre-konsert.
3. Sien jy uit na Vallei van die Sterre?
Verskriklik! Ek was ’n paar jaar gelede
op Pedro se program by Tygervallei toe dit
nog Pedro & Friends genoem was. Dit was
baie lekker en vol sports.
So, toe hy my kontak om op Vallei van
die Sterre te wees, het ek dadelik gesê ek
vervroeg my vlug en ek mis dit vir niks. So,
ja! Ek sien baie uit.
4. Nina Swart (Wilmien in 7de Laan)
is ook op die program. Het julle nog kontak?
Ons het ná 7de Laan ’n toneelstuk gedoen
en ’n paar keer saam opgetree. Vandat ek
in LA bly, sien ons mekaar maar min. So,
dis nog ’n bonus van Vallei van die Sterre.
Dit gaan ’n reünie soos min wees.
5. Waarmee hou jy jouself deesdae besig?
Ek speel nou en dan ’n rol in ’n TV-reeks.
Ek het onlangs ’n episode geskiet van die
baie gewilde House-reeks. Ek doen regie en
kamerawerk op dokumentêre programme
en verder is ek besig met my eie konsepte
Neil Sandilands, wat deesdae in Amerika woon,

6. As jy in SA is, word jy steeds gestop
Ná al die jare is ek vir baie mense nog
steeds Bart. En dit sal seker nie verander
nie. Ek is seker dis dieselfde vir Nina met
Wilmien. Om te weet jou karakter het so ’n
impak gemaak op kykers, is baie cool.

Publiek deel in Emo­vreugde
Die dak het behoorlik gelig toe die plaaslike
sanger, Emo Adams, Woensdagaand sy verjaarsdag saam met aanhangers, lede van
die gemeenskap, familie en vriende gevier
Sy teater, die alombekende All Star-teater by die Cape Gate Lifestyle-sentrum in
Brackenfell, was stampvol met sowat 300
gaste wat tot laataand makietie gehou het.
Emo, wat Woensdag “30-something” geword het, wou vanjaar sy verjaarsdag met
die publiek deel.
“As dit nie vir dié mense was nie, sou ek
nooit so as kunstenaar gegroei het nie. Die
publiek was deel van my loopbaan en ek
wou die dag met my aanhangers deel,” het

Emo het sy ouers bedank vir die rol wat
hulle in sy lewe gespeel het – spesifiek sy
pa, Omar, wat hom op sy pad in die vermaaklikheidsbedryf geplaas het.
Dit was ’n teer oomblik toe Omar sy seun
gelukgewens en aan hom ’n geraamde gebed gegee het.
“As ouers is dit vir ons ’n eer om vandag
hier in Emo se eie teater te sit. Ons is trots
op albei ons seuns vir wat hulle in hul lewe
bereik het, en nog steeds onthou waar hulle
vandaan kom,” het hy gesê.
Ander bekendes by die partytjie was Emo
se broer, Loukmaan Adams, die aktrise,
Kim Cloete, en die sangers, Wickus van der
Merwe en die Broers, Christo en Cobus Snyman.
Die All Star-teater het terselfdertyd sy
eerste bestaansjaar gevier. “Mense van reg
oor die stad besoek die teater en dit is vir
my lekker om almal so bymekaar te bring
deur middel van die kunste,” sê Emo.

snoek, in die hande te kry sodat hulle dit
Wally Croome, voorsitter van die SuidAfrikaanse kommersiële lynvissersvereniging, sê die laaste vyf maande was die
snoek maar skaars, maar is nou volop in
St. Helenabaai se wêreld. “Ons trek so tussen 500 en 600 op ’n bondel uit die laaste
twee weke. Hulle verkoop dan vir tussen
R30 en R40 per snoek,” sê Croome. Hy sê
oor die Paasnaweek kry hulle darem ’n
“ekstratjie” wanneer die snoek vir tussen
R50 en R60 verkoop. “Ja, die smouse sit
maar hul stukkie by, maar hulle is omtrent
net 30 % van die mense wat die vis koop.
Die ander 70% is groot ondernemings,” sê
Croome. Die prys van ’n gemiddelde grootte snoek was Donderdag reeds R120. Handelaars het voorsien dat die prys van Vrydag af drasties gaan styg.
Jerome Carolus, wat langs Viking-weg
naby Ruyterwacht snoek verkoop, sê dieselfde tyd verlede jaar het ’n snoek al R160
omdat mense hier van Maandag af al hul
vis begin inlê,” sê Carolus.
Hy sê hoewel daar nou oral visverkopers
langs die paaie te sien is, beteken dit nie
die snoek “loop” (’n term wat op die oorvloed van snoek in die Kaap dui) nie. “Ek
sal sê snoek is beskikbaar, maar hy loop
nie. Dis ’n mens se saak wat nie vis kry nie
of wat ’n klomp geld daarvoor moet betaal.”
Pieter van Dalen, die DA se skadu-minister vir landbou, bosbou en visserye, sê hy
wou vir dié week ’n vergadering met vissermanne belê, maar almal is aan die Weskus. “Die snoek loop definitief as ek niemand in die hande kan kry nie,” sê hy.

Criminal kids won’t
oungsters must not be fooled into
thinking the law can’t touch them
if they are younger than 18 years
Kraaifontein police are warning young people not to think the law can’t
touch them if they get involved in gangs
or participate in criminal activities.
Police commander Herman de Jager
says there is a perception among young
people that they cannot be arrested because of their age.
“This is exploited by gangs who are of
the view that persons under the age of
seventeen-years-old cannot be arrested.”
However, this is not quite correct,
says de Jager.
“Although the Child Justice Act makes provision that minors may under
certain circumstances not be arrested
(for minor offences) however, it all depends on the nature of the offence.
“For serious offences juveniles may be
arrested, detained, brought before court
and not released - as the perception
exists - in the care of their parents.”
Gang membership illegal
De Jager further explained that people
may be prosecuted for belonging to
gangs or conspiring to committ criminal
He said the section of law that deals
with these issues forms part of the Prevention of Organized Crime (POCA) Act
121 of 1998.
“This act makes it unlawful for any
person to belong to a gang, to display
gang tattoos or paraphernalia, to assist
them in whatever form, to benefit from
the proceeds of criminal activities or
from money laundering.”
De Jager further warned that high-flyers and career criminals in the Belhar
area had been identified and police are
slowly building up their profiles.
“Once the investigation has been completed or sufficient evidence has been
obtained, arrests will be made and these
cases will be prosecuted by the High
“With the arrest and prosecution the
police, with the assistance of the courts
and together with the Asset and Forfeiture Unit, will apply for a preservation
order and seize any assets, including
properties acquired through criminal
In relation to gang offences, De Jager
pointed out that a person having tattoos
does not necessarily mean they are linked to any gangs. If there is a link, police
would need to prove it.
The POCA Act makes it a criminal offence to belong to a criminal gang, to actively participate in the activities of
such a gang, to threaten to commit, or
bring about, or to perform any criminal
act with the assistance of any criminal
gang, and to wilfully aid and abet or to
associate oneself with such criminal
gangs. It is also a criminal offence to
threaten anyone with retaliatory violence.
This Act also deals with money laundering, where in Chapter 3, Section 4 it
notes it is a criminal offence for any person to knowingly, or reasonably have
known that properties are, or form part
of the proceeds of unlawful activities,
and to be in possession of such properties.
It also covers the concealment, disguising or movement of such properties.
The Act makes provision for stiff and
lengthy penalties to be handed out to
anyone found guilty in court, with life
sentences even being an option.
In one such incident, a 27 year old female from Bellville South was suspected
of beinginvolved in criminal activities
and having links to gang king-pins.
During a search at her home, police
seized bout R60 000 in cash and a large
amount of drugs.
The police and the Asset and Forfeiture Unit applied for a preservation order
against the individual in which they
asked for the the money and house to be
The preservation order was successfully granted by the High Court.
De Jager said gangs and druglords are
a high priority for the police, as they cause mayhem and destroy lives.
Centre’s training changes lives
“I am a new person. I am full of confidence

vated as she sees her business growing week
Trudie is one of eight enthusiastic new entrepreneurs who successfully completed the
bake for profit course.
Another student, Elizabeth Heugh, said
she discovered her inner strength. “I changed so much in managing my money matters
and my life in general. My relationships
with friends and family have also improved,” she said.
Her goal is to grow her business by employing and training other unemployed women.
The bake for profit course is an intense
eight-week course in which students attend
practical training once a week. They also learn life skills, discipleship and business
skills on another day of the week.
They have to apply these business skills
and practical training during the rest of the
week and produce evidence of goods baked
and sold at the next training session.
“In this way, students are effectively encouraged to start their mini-businesses during the first week of training,” said Cheryl
van der Merwe, training coordinator at the
“The students graduate from the course feeling empowered and confident that they are
now able to make a difference in their lives
and in the community,” she said.
“The strong bonds built during the course
have also enabled students to support each
other and develop solutions for common
“For instance Ellenoare Jacobs from
Kraaifontein teamed up with the younger
and shyer Lwandisa Zono from Bellville. Together they’re successfully exploring new
markets,” van der Merwe continued.
All training courses at the FCD include life skills and discipleship training, which focuses on the development of values and attitudes required to become and remain economically active.
The bake for profit course costs R300 for
eight weeks. Other courses on offer are: basic computer training course at R150 (three
weeks), office administration course at R400
including advanced computers and office
practice (12 weeks), and a learners license
training course costing R50 (one week).
Registration is open for courses commencing end April and early May.

Canal gets cleaned up
A polluted canal in Kraaifontein is finally
being cleaned up by local authorities, following a media enquiry.
Alwyn van Rooyen from the City of Cape
Town last week confirmed the city is in the
process of cleaning the Shelley canal next
to the N1, after which they will tackle the
canal in Sarel van Deventer Street in Kraaifontein.
Unhappy resident Lorna Beesley says she
sent several letters and photos to the city
regarding the polluted canal two months
“The grass growing in the canal is taking
over plus there is alot of rubble lying in the
canal. Its becoming a health hazard. Certain outlets are blocked up with grass and
sludge,” she said.
“When the rains come how is the water
expected to flow?” she asked on TygerBur-
Brett Herron, mayoral committee member for transport for the City of Cape Town,
said the only complaint the city received
about this canal was the one from ward
councillor Gerhard Fourie (which was sent
to Fourie by TygerBurger).
“It is important to note that the city cleans the canals according to a schedule and
in accordance with our winter preparedness programme, Shelley canal is cleaned
once a year during April, with the biggest
cause of the pollution being typha, bird
breeding and rubble.
“The city started cleaning Shelley canal
on 3 April and at that stage it was overgrown with typha – typha cannot be cut during the summer months, which is its
growth season. “Typha cannot be sprayed
with herbicide and also, if it is cut off too
early, it will grow back within three weeks
which would be a waste of precious resources,” Herron said.

Sy het hom, soos met al die drank- en
dwelmverslaafdes, eers in die Stikland-hospitaal laat opneem en daarna is hy vir sowat
ses maande na die Soutsakfontein-plaas van
El Petra Ministries buite Vredenburg. Daar
kry hulle opleiding in dissipelskap en leer
Gert se oë blink waar hy by die KFC in
Kraaifontein by ’n tafeltjie sit en sy storie
Hy is maar een van talle suksesverhale die
afgelope paar jaar.
As hulle terugkom, gaan hulle huis toe,
maar meer dikwels word hulle in die Jesus
Can-huis in Kraaifontein gehuisves. “As ons
hulle nie kan huisves ná die ses maande nie,
kan ons hulle net sowel nie stuur nie, want
waar gaan hulle heen as hulle terugkom?”
vra Lee. “Na soveel jare weg van familie kan
hulle nie soontoe nie.”
Dan word daar begin om werk te soek.
Tans bly daar sowat agt voorheen-haweloses
in die huis, van wie ’n hele paar werk om
hul verblyf te betaal.
Maandag het nog ’n hawelose Lee by die
sopkombuis in Durbanville ontmoet vir sy
opname in die Stikland-hospitaal. Aäron Madikwa (39) bly al vyf maande in Durbanville
op straat nadat hy met sy familie in Wolseley
stry gekry het.
Nog twee, wat nou gereed is om na die El
Petra-plaas te gaan vir rehabilitasie, het haar
daar by die sopkombuis ontmoet.
Karools Oersen (43), of Boere, soos almal
hom op straat ken, het as kind al met sy ma
in die bosse in Durbanville gebly. Hy is al
meer as 20 jaar op straat en slaap saans oorkant die Durbanville-polisiestasie. Steven Davids is die ander een.
Maar daar is nog nie geld om vir hul rehabilitasie te betaal nie. Dit kos sowat R6 800 vir
elke persoon om deur die ses maande-rehabilitasieproses te gaan. Hulle sal eers moet wag.
Lee het met die projek begin juis oor haar
eie twee broers, wat vir jare op straat was en
die laaste een eers onlangs bereid was om ’n
nuwe begin te maak.
Ná ses jaar se werk onder die straatmense
in Durbanville, sê Lee “die enigste manier om
’n verskil te maak, is as almal saamwerk en
bydra wat hulle kan”.
Plaaslike kerke soos die NG Kerk Durbanville-Bergsig, NG Kerk Durbanville en Durbanville-Baptistekerk is reeds etlike jare betrokke by Lee se projek. Die Bergsig-gemeente het lank die R7 500 maandelikse huur van
die huis betaal, maar dié geld moet ook nou
uit eie sak kom.
Ander rolspelers is plaaslike sakelui en die
Lee bou aan haar verhouding met die
straatmense by die sopkombuis, waaraan vyf
plaaslike kerke saamwerk.
“Hulle kry ’n ete daar en ek vergader daar
met hulle. Die wat hulp aanvaar, word gehelp.
Sommige is gelukkig waar hulle is en niks
kan dan vir hulle gedoen word nie. Elke mens
maak sy eie keuses,” sê sy.
“Die Stikland-hospitaal is perfek vir die be-

handeling van ons straat-alkoholiste. Ná
20 jaar op straat en 5 tot 15 liters wyn per
dag, is dit merkwaardig hoe hulle verander in die maand.
“Vir party is dit die eerste keer in baie
jare dat hulle nugter is. Eers dan kan ’n
mens met hulle gesels oor verdere stappe,
aangesien hulle ’n nugter besluit oor hul
toekoms kan maak.”
Die maand by Stikland kos R100 en die
plaaslike kerke dra die koste, asook vir
klere en ander benodighede.
By die plaas van El Petra Ministries leer
hulle weer mens word – dinge wat hulle
jare al verloor het soos persoonlike higiëne, dissipline, struktuur, werk, hoe om hul
emosies uit te druk en op te hou baklei,
vloek en steel, vertel Lee.
Dit is ook ’n Bybelskool wat die straatmense help om die lewe in ’n nuwe lig te
sien. “Hulle sukkel baie met vergewensgesindheid en ervaar bitterheid teenoor familielede en ander.”
Sy het die hulp van die groter gemeenskap nodig, sê sy. “Hulle bly buite, want
hulle word gegee wat hulle nodig het. Sodra hulle nie meer buite kan kry wat hulle
nodig het nie, sal hulle wel inkom vir hulp.
Al die geld wat hulle gebruik het om vir 20
jaar op straat te oorleef, het hulle by die gemeenskap gekry.”
Sy vra dat mense ophou om geld aan die
haweloses te gee, maar liewer bydra tot die
rehabilitasie van hierdie straatmense.
“Die plaaslike regering sê ‘gee verantwoordelik’.
“So, ons vra dat julle eerder die geld wat
julle vir straatmense gee, in die plaasfonds
sal inbetaal sodat hulle ‘regtig’ gehelp kan
word,” het sy gesê.
Die donasies word bestuur deur die NG
Kerk Durbanville en word net vir dié doel

Measles, polio vaccine stock runs short
Leerders van die Sekondêre Skool Bernadino Heights in Kraaifontein het van 31 Maart tot 4 April
die Universiteit Stellenbosch (US) se HOPE@Maties­vakansieskool op Genadendal bygewoon.
Hulle is (voor van links) Hayley Jansen, Nicole Bester, Renecia Van Rooyen, Chanté Fernandez,
Danielle Strydom en Aimee Pearce. Agter is Jody Telemachus, Romeo Williams en Tyron Jansen.
Toegang en sukses die fokus
Genadendal het onlangs sy deure wyd oopgegooi vir meer as 80 graad 12-leerders van
skole in Kaapstad, die Boland en die Overberg om vir die eerste keer ’n vakansieskool
by dié nuwe HOPE@Maties-sentrum by te
Leerders van die Sekondêre Skool Bernadino Heights was ook daar.
Die Universiteit Stellenbosch (US) se
HOPE@Maties-program is ’n strategiese
skolevennootskapprojek, wat bestuur word
deur die US se sentrum vir pedagogie en
waardeur leerders vanuit tien geografiese
gebiede Saterdag- of vakansieskole bywoon.
In die program kry graad 12-leerders, wat
in graad 11 ’n gemiddelde persentasie van
70 % behaal het, die geleentheid om ekstra
onderrig by van die beste onderwysers in
die omgewing te ontvang.
Leerders het in die koshuis van die Sekondêre Skool Emil Weder tuisgegaan en
van soggens vroeg af onderrig ontvang in
wiskunde, fisiese wetenskappe en rekeningkunde.
Die gebruik van die sentrum is Donderdag 3 April by ’n spesiale geleentheid in die
Morawiese kerk op Genadendal gevier. Dié
geleentheid is bygewoon deur die rektor en
visekanselier van die US, prof. Russel Botman, en verteenwoordigers van verskillende afdelings van die universiteit, die WesKaapse Onderwysdepartement (WKOD),
die plaaslike gemeenskap en die Morawiese
kerk. “Julle is op die regte plek,” het eerwaarde Chris Wessels van die Morawiese
kerk gesê. “Genadendal is die bakermat van
opvoedkunde in Suid-Afrika.” Dié dorpie
het die eerste opleidingsentrum vir onderwysers in die land gehuisves.
Jenny Bridgeman van die WKOD se Overberg-distrikskantoor het gesê die vakansieskool op Genadendal is die regte manier om
seker te maak die getal leerders uit die landelike gebiede, wat universiteit toe gaan,
Botman het die Genadendal-sentrum beskryf as HOPE@Maties se grootste sentrum
van uitnemendheid. Hy het die leerders bedank vir hul bereidwilligheid om hul tyd
aan hul studies te wy en dat hulle dit vir die
universiteit moontlik maak om hulle te ondersteun.
Hy het gesê HOPE@Maties fokus op twee
begrippe, naamlik toegang en sukses.
The health ministry of the Western Cape has
again urged patients to be aware that there
is a national shortfall in the supply of polio
and measles vaccines.
Western Cape government health is managing the available stock in the province to reduce the impact as far as possible, a media
release from the office of minister Theuns
Botha, MEC for health, stated on Thursday.
“In the Western Cape we are doing our best
to manage the stock situation with the available stocks. We will keep our patients informed.
as far as possible.According to a letter from
the Biovac Institute, the national supplier,
1.8 million doses of measles vaccines will be
delivered to the national department of health by the end of this month.
More than three million doses of polio vaccines were not released by the supplier as the
vaccine vial monitor was out of specification
and could not be released.

Tiere veg verbete terug
ie Hoërskool Tygerberg se terugvegoorwinning oor Stellenberg, die sege
van Brackenfell oor HS Bellville om sy
lang wendroogte te verbreek en die oorwinning van Durbanville oor HS Strand in die
doodsnikke, was van die glanspunte in die
afgelope naweek se o.19A-skolerugbywedstryde.
in vier jaar. Durbanville het op sy beurt –
vir die derde agtereenvolgende jaar – vir HS
laaste sekondes deurhak. Die heel eerste
wedstryd tussen De Kuilen en Milnerton het
interessant verloop. Ná ’n uitstekende rustydvoorsprong van 29-0, moes die Kuile behoorlik walgooi om ’n oorwinning met 32-26
teen die vegtende Milnerton deur te trek.
D.F. Malan het nie veel moeite ondervind om
Parel Vallei met 17-0 te klop nie. Gebrekkige
stelskopwerk het HS President se 60-jarige
feesvieringe bederf toe die Vrijzee-span met
10-13 teen Bredasdorp vasgeval het. Kasselsvlei het verras met sy oorwinning van 23-15
oor HTS Bellville, terwyl Monumentpark op
ewe onverwagte wyse met 26-5 deur Primrose-klub gekou is. Bellville-Suid het HS Trafalgar maklik met 26-3 geklop.
