ESKOM SAYS THEY COMPLY: THEN APPLIED FOR EXEMPTION
Power station ‘pollutes’
esidents in Edgemead are up in arms
about the Eskom Acacia Power Station
on the outskirts of Edgemead.
In one of many letters directed at James
Vos, chairperson of the subcouncil, one distraught resident, Stuart Ridley, calls the station a “ridiculous environmental intrusion
that is making life a misery in our own
homes.” He says he has a son with asthma
that is gradually getting worse and he
blames the emissions from the station.
Acacia is a peaking generator, which
means it provides back-up electrical supply
to Koeberg Nuclear Power Station. The station was built in 1976 and has three gas turbine generators, which are similar to Boeing
In response to a media query about Acacia, Eskom said: “The emissions from Acacia include nitrogen (a completely inert gas
and main constituent of the atmosphere),
carbon dioxide (a greenhouse gas but not
toxic), oxides of nitrogen, a small amount of
sulphur dioxide, and a small amount of particulates (the visible portion).”
Ambient air quality monitoring conducted by the City of Cape Town shows that there
is compliance with ambient air quality
standards in the vicinity of Acacia, so there
is little risk of harm to human health. The
infrequent operation of Acacia also limits
harm to human health,” the statement says.
According to Wikipedia, oxides of nitro-
gen can form smog, a significant form of air
pollution, especially in summer. “Children,
people with lung diseases such as asthma,
and people who work or exercise outside are
particularly susceptible to adverse effects of
smog such as damage to lung tissue and reduction in lung function,” the information
Eskom says Acacia’s current emission licence does not stipulate emission limits, but
stipulates the type of fuel that can be used,
and the minimum stack height.
Vos says Eskom was granted an Atmospheric Pollution Prevention Act Scheduled
Industry Certificate in 1996. “Surely technology has advanced since then and why is Eskom not investing in renewable energy or
replacing these aging generators with more
modern technology?” he asks.
In October 2013, Eskom applied for exemption from the minimum emissions standards for this station as stipulated by the national Air Quality Act.
In response to this, Thuli Mdluli, of the Department of Water and Environmental Affairs, said: “We cannot publish legislation
and then exempt industries from complying.” Acacia is one of 14 plants that Eskom
applied for to be exempted from the new regulations to cut sulphur dioxide emissions.
Vos says Eskom has backtracked on a previous commitment made to decommission
this plant and relocate the operations to Ankerlig, using gas turbines instead of the current diesel generators. Eskom did not reply
to questions from TygerBurger about how
and when they intend to do so.

New look at tomato plants
The Cangro project was founded by siblings,
Diane and Jody Kramer, and looks to disrupt
traditional thinking by growing plants, such
as tomatoes and herbs, upside down in a recycled tin.
For the first time the project has been
rolled out in the Western Cape, working
with over 500 Grade 3 students from Goodwood Park Primary, Vrijzee Preparatory
and Ruyterwacht Preparatory.
TygerBurger, N1 City Mall and Don’t
Waste, are partners of Cangro in instilling
environmental awareness in children.
“Our intent is to overcome the greatest
challenge facing us all: to become and remain sustainable without compromising
the ability of future generations to enjoy
what we take for granted today,” explains
Diane from Cangro.
Running for eight weeks from January to
March this year the Cangro schools project
begins with a play, written and directed by
Deon Opperman and performed by Tessa
Dalton. The children are then asked to care,
water and feed their tomato plant with the
aim of growing the largest plant.
On 21 March, 15 finalists will be announced by N1 City Mall, with a voting process determining the winners. The grand
prize handover will then take place at the
centre on 29 March.
In addition to the plant growing competition, the schools themselves are competing
in another aspect of the Cangro project – recycling. Over the same eight-week period,
the three schools will look to increase their
recycling efforts in a bid to recycle the most
waste – with the winning school walking
away with a R5 000 cash prize, as donated by
N1 City Mall.

Maar op Kruvet se blad skryf hy self:
“Milo is veilig. Enigiemand wat hierdie
saak uit verband gaan ruk en gaan verongeluk, gaan skyt en verdien nou al om gewaarsku te word om ongekende gevolge
Joline se ma, Angie, sê daar is tans omtrent 600 webtuistes waarop Joline se
naam genoem word en daar is geen manier hoe hulle dit kan stop nie.
“Ek is bekommerd oor my dogter,” sê
sy. “Sy het darem ’n bietjie geglimlag toe
sy sien daar is mense wat ook goeie goed
te sê het,” sê sy. “Ons is dankbaar daarvoor.”
Intussen het ’n buurman van die Jordaans die koerant ook laat weet dat hy
van ten minste drie mense weet wat deur
Milo gebyt is. Die buurman sê hy het eendag self amper deurgeloop toe hy in sy
voortuin gewerk het en Milo op hom afgestorm het. Hy kon hom gelukkig met ’n
riewe en boodskappe stroom in om
Joline Janse van Rensburg (16) van
Tygerdal te ondersteun nadat TygerBurger verlede week die storie oor
haar en Milo die hond (“Facebook bites
victim”, TygerBurger 22 Januarie) gepubliseer het.
Pierre van Niekerk, eienaar van Kruvet-dieregesondheid, op wie se Facebookblad Joline en haar ouers sleggesê is nadat Milo haar aan die hand gebyt het, het
in ’n brief aan TygerBurger gesê hy is
jammer oor die uitlatings wat op sy sakeonderneming se blad gemaak is.
Hy sê hy kan nie pa staan vir wat die
publiek op sy blad skryf nie. Van die lede
op dié blad het onder meer voorgestel dat
Joline, pleks van Milo, in ’n hok gesit
moet word as straf.
Joline is in November verlede jaar in
Goodwood aan die hand gebyt toe sy by
’n skoolvriendin se hek vir dié staan en
wag het. Milo, ’n Dalmasiër- en Labradorkruising, het haar hand deur die heining
Die eienaar van die hond, Sharné Jordaan, beweer Joline het haar hand deur
die heining gesteek, maar Joline se familie hou vol die hond het sy kop deurgesteek.
Joline moes 27 steke kry en het die gevoel in ’n gedeelte van haar hand verloor.
Milo is gekonfiskeer en meer as ’n maand
later weer vrygelaat na ’n internet-storm
losgebars het om hom daarvan te red om
uitgesit te word. In die proses is die Janse
van Rensburg-gesin uitgekryt daarvoor
dat hulle Milo se doodsvonnis geteken

Van Niekerk sê mense oordonder Facebook “met als wat in hul deurmekaar koppe aangaan” en hy vra om verskoning as
bytende kommentaar “deurgeglip” het.
“Dit maak my bitter verleë dat ’n persoon
my blad gebruik het om standpunte te
maak wat nie my goedkeuring wegdra
“Al die verskonings in die wêreld gaan
nie daardie 16-jarige meisie help nie. Die
skade is klaar gedoen,” is een leser se
kommentaar op TygerBurger se Facebook-blad.
Terwyl ’n paar diereregte-aktiviste
steeds sê dit is Joline se eie skuld dat die
hond haar gebyt het, is daar nou ’n oorgrote meerderheid mense wat hulle uitspreek teen skadelike uitlatings op die
“Die eienaars van Milo is die enigste
mense hier wat verkeerd opgetree het
deur aandag te soek ten koste van ’n jong
meisie. Ek haal my hoed af vir die Janse
van Rensburg-gesin, wat nie so laag gedaal het om op Facebook te baklei nie,”
skryf nog ’n leser in ’n brief aan TygerBurger.

“I always work for a goal. I am motivated,
competitive, in everything I do; even a
small board game,” he says, smiling.
“He has always achieved well,” his mother, Lindi, says. “He is determined and interested. He has always asked a lot of questions and has been a good communicator
since he was a child.”
Matthew is a balanced young man. Apart
from being Edgemead High’s top student in
2013, he swims a lot, is a life guard, has a
girlfriend and spent part of his December
break at the Plett Rage for matrics. He was
not too impressed with the Rage, but says
at least now he can say he has done that.
He will study mechatronics engineering
at UCT this year.
“I have looked at engineering for a career, and this course has components of mechanical and electrical engineering.”
He says it is in essence about robotics,
something he has always been interested
in. Lego and Meccano used to be his favourite toys.
For now he wants to stay in South Africa,
but can foresee a career that will enable
him to travel.
“It would be cool to join an international
engineering company one day,” he says.

Illegal dumping a huge waste of money
The dumping of household items and rubble
remains a thorn in the side of Parow and
Goodwood. At the recent Parow subcouncil
meeting, Clive Justus, chairperson, said it
seemed as if many residents cleaned out
their houses over the festive season and
bought new household items and simply
dumped the old appliances, furniture and
old clothes in open spaces or sidewalks.
“Cleaning up illegal dumping is very costly, and I am requesting all residents not to
participate in illegal dumping and to report
illegal dumping when you observe such bad
behaviour. Please provide details such as
the vehicle registration numbers and the
date, time and place of transgressions. This
enables the city to issue fines and compel the
transgressors to remove the dumped waste,”
He adds that the Solid Waste Management
Department has reaffirmed its commitment
to keeping Cape Town’s built and natural environment clear of waste, but needs the co-operation of its citizens to use the service available, not to dump and to report bad behaviour.
“A clean environment is an investment in
the future and it clearly contributes to our
quality of life Cape Town. Numerous visitors
commented how clean the city was in comparison to the place where they live. Become part
of the Own, Love, Improve your Street initiative by taking refuse to the nearest drop off,
sweep the street in front of your dwelling, remove weeds in the footway and refrain from
illegal dumping which includes requesting
the cart horse people to take garden refuse or
builder’s rubble to the drop off. It will just
be taken to the nearest vacant land and
dumped,” Justus said.
The Bothasig, Montague and Edgemead
areas are also tired of dumping, according
to James Vos, chairperson of Subcouncil
“Enough is enough, the full force of the
law needs to come down on the senseless
individuals who are responsible for this
dumping,” he says.
Vos says large amounts from his annual
budget are allocated for area cleaning and
litter picking. “It is like throwing good
money after bad,” he says, because according to him these funds could be utilised
more constructively on other projects.
He says if an area is heavily littered, it can
lead to the “broken window” effect: more litter, dumping of rubbish, graffiti, and vandalism.
According to Vos the city offers a reasonably priced service to any resident requiring
garden waste removal, if he or she is unable
to transport this to a disposal site.
V To make use of the City’s garden refuse removal
service, call the municipality’s call centre number at
0860 103 089. Residents can report details of
dumped material and request dumped material to
be removed by calling this number, or SMS 31373, fax
021 400 4302 or via email to wastewise@cape­
town.gov.za, or, during office hours 021 400 6157.
A scene in Wallace street, Goodwood. The city’s Integrated Waste Management Bylaw makes
provision for a minimum fine of R500 but not exceeding R10 000 or imprisonment for a
minimum period of 6 months but not exceeding 2 years for illegal dumping.

The Two Oceans Aquarium officially
broke ground for its brand new largescale exhibit yesterday 28 January.
The exhibit, which will be constructed on the parking lot between
the existing Aquarium building and
the One & Only Hotel, will contain 1.5
million litres of seawater and will be
six metres in depth.
Some of the animals on display will
possibly include spotted eagle rays,
honeycomb rays, smooth hound and
spotted gully sharks, two species of tuna, and Yoshi the loggerhead turtle
and Cannelloni the green turtle.
A single acrylic panel, measuring
9 m long and 4 metres wide, will provide a seamless window into the exhibit. Included in the exhibit is a 10 m
complete full tunnel.
“This is a momentous occasion.
We’ve been working hard on this
project for a number of years so we are
absolutely thrilled to be breaking
ground and finally starting construction. It is very exciting times for us,”
said Dr Patrick Garratt, the aquarium’s managing director.
The project is one of several development projects under way at the V&A
Waterfront. The new exhibit is scheduled to open in time for the summer
holiday season in December this year.

history of battling a drug addiction;
sleeping on the streets and being
jailed for the possession of drugs has not deterred
a Kuils River women from
pursuing her dream: helping
Instead an addiction and
the problems that accompanied it inspired her to pursue
a career as a social worker.
These days she helps others
who – similar to her a few
years ago – are caught in the drug trap.
“The most important thing ever, it does
not care who you are, where you come from,
how well you are educated, how many degrees you have or what your parents
do...will take you,” Cindy van Andel from
Highbury, Kuils River said.
She has been drug-free since 2008.
Cindy’s drug of choice was tik.
“Nobody tells you it’s addictive, and that
you can’t live without it,”she added.
Cindy left her home soon afterwards and
spent several months on the streets.
She also fell pregnant.
“We moved from one place
to the next. There was no stability.
“At some point you don’t
have a job but you have money for drugs.
“That got me locked up. At
that point my son was about
eight months old. They took
him away and placed him in
the care of social workers.”
“Nobody tells you
it’s addictive, and
live without it”
“For someone like me this was a wake-up
call. I never thought that it could take me.
Growing up in high school I often heard people do drugs, I was never one to experiment.
“People say your teenage years are the
years you experiment but mine happened
when I was 23 years old.”

and worked as a waitress at a restaurant.

scary, I cried a lot.”
Cindy recovered from her drug addiction
and was readmitted to university in 2010.
She graduated two years later as a social
worker and today she assists NGOs and
youngsters caught in the same trap.
“It was a personal mission of mine. I have
seen what it can do to people, but have also
seen people come back from it.

In 2013 het die Stadskoor Tygerberg ’n
reeks onvergeetlike konserte aangebied.
Drie uitvoerings van die Markus-passie
van Charles Wood, twee orkesuitvoerings
van Brahms se Requiem en twee kabaretkonserte met Emile Minnie was van die
hoogtepunte van die jaar.
Boonop het hulle ’n Rooms Katolieke Mis
in Afrikaans opgeneem vir die Suider-Sanctusprojek, waarvan die CD reeds vrygestel
is. Hierdie koor beplan wonderlike konserte
vir 2014 en sing graag saam met ander kore.
Op 21 Maart sing hulle saam met die simfoniekoor van Kaapstad en die Kaapse simfonie-orkes Carmina Burana in Kirstenbosch.
Op 10 Augustus is die Kroningsmis van
Mozart in die Welgemoed-ouditorium aan
die beurt en op 31 Oktober sing hulle Ramirez se Misa Criolla saam met die koor van

Daar is ook nog ’n konsert op 19 September
in die Endlersaal saam met Windworx en die
USBO, asook ’n program van Kersliedere.

Lending a hand and a few legs
“I am fortunate to afford legs,” Bruce Walsh
from Durbanville, a double amputee and
survivor of the Planet Hollywood bomb blast
in 1998, says. “Without them I would be a bitter, angry, lonely old man, who lost my independence, bound to a wheelchair.”
Walsh was speaking at the Merriman Lions humanitarian aid handover on 25 January.
A shipment of medical equipment, including audiology equipment, hearing aids and
batteries, prosthetic limbs, orthopaedic supplies, hospital beds, X-ray light boxes, ward
furniture and educational aids were donated
by a British medical doctor to the Merriman
Lions, to distribute to community-based
Eugene Ross, the prosthetist who made
Walsh’s legs, received prosthetic limbs valued at R300 000. “I will take it, clean it all up
and then distribute photos to other prosthetists who will help fit and add components to
those who need it,” he says.
Hospital beds are being sent to the 7th Day
Adventist Frail Care unit.
Some 1 728 hearing aids, valued at the
state tender price of R334 000 will be used in
the “Lions Help to Hear” project to assist
children with hearing disability.
Other beneficiaries include Tygerberg
Hospital Audiology, Meals on Wheels, Tygerberg Service Centre for the Aged,

“Our beneficiaries could not afford this
equipment new or second-hand,” Fox said.
“It took over a year to sort out this aid. We
had hiccups with customs and to get everything here. Then, when at last it arrived, we
had to undo the boxes and sort everything
out; today is the finale,” says Beverley van
Rhyn, head of service at the Merriman Lions.

The Facebook Group Welgemoed Safe are serious about their neighbourhood’s safety.
They recently posted some valuable tips
from Crime Stop Tips South Africa (CSTSA)
to warn fellow citizens what to look out for
when security and safety issues arise.
These tips were determined from “indepth interviews with 30 perpetrators who
were convicted and incarcerated for aggravated robbery,” the CSTSA were
The CSTSA learnt the following about when the perpetrators were choosing a
VSome 63 % of the perpetrators in the study would
prefer to travel between 10
and 30 minutes by vehicle
from where they lived to
commit a residential robbery. Most would travel
much further if the target
was deemed lucrative enough.
VSome 77 % of the perpetrators stated that
they chose targets for which they had some
inside information – like from domestic
workers, gardeners or other service providers, including security guards or from relatives or acquaintances of these people.
VSome perpetrators knew people who
make a living from burglary and would get
information on specific houses from them.
VGenerally, perpetrators preferred to
choose targets in neighbourhoods that have
many entrance and exit points, with easy access to main roads and where street security
VOnly 25 % of the perpetrators in the research stated that they deliberately chose a
house because it had low security. Targets
were chosen because they had reasonable information or suspicion that there would be
much of value to steal once they had gained
VThe perpetrators in this study said they
would tend to focus on what they termed as
the “middle class”. This term was used
broadly to talk about anyone who had relative wealth. Sometimes people with expensive jewellery, clothes or other visible signs
of affluence would be followed home with the
assumption that they would have expensive
possessions in their residence.
About planning and executing a residen-
tial robbery, the 30 revealed the following:
VAll perpetrators stated that they would
spend some time prior to the attack doing
surveillance on the targeted residence. In
some cases this could be as little as 30 minutes prior to the attack, and in other cases
up to two weeks. The purpose of the surveillance was to orientate the perpetrators to the
layout and type of neighbourhood, household security measures, and the habits and patterns of the residents.
VSome 57 % of the perpetrators stated that they preferred to carry out residential robberies between 19:00
and 00:00. This is when most
people were at home and a
time when there was noise
from televisions and radios
– which would provide perpetrators with some level of
cover to allow them to take
the victims by surprise.
VSome 14 % of the perpetrators also attacked houses between 03:00 and 07:00 as it
was quiet, the neighbours would be asleep
or not paying particular attention, and they
would not be disturbed by visitors to the
VSome 7 % stated that they also attacked
houses between 10:00 and 12:00. This was
when domestic workers would be in the
house, doors would be open, alarms would
also be turned off and there would be the relative cover of noise.
VThe most common way to access a property was to break in by forcing locks on gates
or doors, breaking windows or disabling
electric fences and climbing over the walls.
VSome of the perpetrators attacked houses
where there were social functions, as they
could walk through gates or doors that were
left open. In some cases the perpetrators
would wait for the residents to leave or arrive home and attack them in the driveway
before forcing them inside the house.
VBefore breaking in, the perpetrators stated they would try to identify the number and
location of everyone in the house. They
would typically do this during the pre-attack
surveillance, and once they were on the
property, by peering through windows, preferably under the cover of darkness.
