'n Droom Bewaarheid Nuwe Museum Open in Pniël ‘n Baie groot oomblik in Pniël se reeds trotse geskiedenis het op Saterdag, 18 Mei, plaasgevind toe dié Dwarsriviervallei-dorp die deure van sy nuwe museum geopen het. Die gemeenskap van Pniël het vir baie jare gedroom om 'n museum op te rig en dit het 'n groter werklikheid geword toe die Congregational Kerk-gemeente besluit het om 'n nuwe pastorie te bou en die ou pastorie in ‘n museum te omskep. Met passie en liefde vir hul geskiedenis en met respek vir hul voorvaders, was daar dus die laaste paar jaar begin om die museum stukkie vir stukkie op te bou. Onder die honderde gaste was persone wie hulle heelhartige ondersteuning aan die opbou en ontwikkeling van die museum verleen het. Die dorpspredikant, Eerwaarde Leon Klate, het die geleentheid met gebed geopen en Prof Mathilda Burden, Kultuurhistorikus by Stellenbosch Universiteit en wie waardevolle leiding met die museumuitleg verskaf het, het in haar toespraak gesê dat Pniëlers elke oggend met dank moet bid vir die seëning om in hierdie
Die slaweklok is hierna gelui wat herinneringe van die verlede opgeroep het. Duiwe was vrygelaat wat as 'n simbool van toewyding tot vrede gedien het. Wit en blou balonne was losgelaat as 'n teken van hoop vir die toekoms. Dit was 'n emosionele en trotse oomblik toe die dorpslied CORAM DEO (in die teenwoordigheid van God), wat deur twee inwoners geskryf en getoonset is, uit volle bors gesing is. Die oudste man en vrou in Pniël, mnr Kallie de Wet (89) en me Martha Scheepers (91) het die voorreg gehad om die deur van die Pniël Museum vir die eerste keer oop te maak. Hulle is verder vereer deurdat hulle name op 'n gedenkplaat gegraveer is. Hierna het die groot oomblik aangebreek

pragtige dorp met sy ryke geskiedenis te kan woon. Raadslid Cyril Jooste, Speaker van die Stellenbosch Munisipaliteit, het gelukwensinge van die omliggende dorpe uitgespreek en die munisipaliteit se ondersteuning aan Pniël en die museum bevestig. Een van die mooiste boodskappe was dié van Eerwaarde Thulani Ndlasi – SA Sinode Sekretaris (United Congregational Church of Southern Africa). Hy het beklemtoon dat almal hul erfenis mooier en beter moet maak en dat dit soos 'n geskenk aan die volgende generasie uitgedeel en oorgedra moet word.
Me Martha Scheepers en mnr Kallie De Wet onthul die gedenkplaat waarop hul name gegraveer is, by die opening van die nuwe Pniël Museum. Agter hulle staan Eerwaarde Thulani Ndlasi. toe mense met diverse agtergronde, gemengde gevoelens en intense opwinding die museum kon binnegaan. Die Pniël Erfenis en Kultuur Trust, onder leiding van Matthew Cyster, was verantwoordelik om die geskiedenis op skrif en visueel uit te beeld en het hul uitstekend van hul taak gekwyt. Die verlede kon vir 'n wyle in herinnering geroep, herleef en ervaar word.
Uiteindelik is daar 'n museum wat die gemeenskap van Pniël se geskiedenis kan reflekteer en lewend sal hou. •

Jy is nou besig om Riviernuus se mees lywige uitgawe tot dusvêr, te lees! Ons skuld julle baie nuus en dis hoekom ons met hierdie uitgawe probeer om bietjie op te maak. Ek vra verskoning vir ons stilte die laaste tyd. Die koerantbesigheid (net soos enige ander) het ook sy uitdagings. Veral by Riviernuus waar ons net twee mense is wie seker moet maak dat die koerant twee keer per maand uitkom. Dit was egter baie gerusstellend om te hoor hoe mense die koerant mis.
So gesk waar, on ie d s gesk enis ma a ie de nis! k

‘n Jong man van Kylemore was onlangs in ‘n ernstige ongeluk betrokke en blykbaar het dokters nie veel hoop vir hom gehad nie. Familie en vriende het egter nie ophou bid en glo nie en het selfs ‘n ‘Facebook-page’ vir hom oopgemaak. Die gebede en goeie wense het ingestroom en in ‘n kort tydjie was daar meer as 1 000 ondersteuners. Romarck Adams is nog in die hospitaal en hoewel steeds in ‘n kritieke toestand, is hy stadig besig om te herstel. Miskien het al die ondersteuning iets met sy beterskap te doen. Ons almal bid en glo op jou herstel, Romarck. "There is power in unity and there is power in numbers." - Martin Luther King Mooi bly,

Stubbs Stumps Perceptions Winston Stubbs from Pniël was recently appointed as Inas Sports Director for Cricket. Inas is the International Federation for Sport for Para-athletes with an intellectual disability. Winston was officially welcomed to his new position at the organisation’s General Assembly, held in Rio de Janeiro at the end of April. His involvement with cricket for the disabled has been nothing short of remarkable. It started 18 years ago and it was purely by accident that he got to work with intellectually disabled children. At the beginning of 1995, Winston was a very despondent man. He had just finished his three year teaching diploma, applied for more than 40 teaching posts, but was not successful with any of them. He decided to go back to technicon to further his studies, but on that Sunday evening while he was getting ready for another year of commuting between Pniël and Bellville, his life took an unexpected turn. He received a visit from the late mr Gerald Lackay, at the time principal of Dorothea School for the Disabled in Cloetesville. Mr Lackay offered Winston a three month temporary teaching position at the school. Having preconceived ideas about disabled children, he couldn’t see himself teaching at the school, but said he’ll sleep on it. He clearly recalls the sequence of events: “There was (and still is) a stigma attached to disabled children. The ‘normal’ people thought these kids were crazy and uncontrollable. The next morning however, I hesitantly decided to give it a go and was all dressed up. At the school’s entrance gate I changed my mind and wanted to turn away. The principal saw me and after long negotiations, which included going
back home and dress more comfortably, I decided to give it a chance,” says Winston. On that very first day he saw learners playing cricket in the school yard. He joined them and later found out that there was no formal cricket structure at the school or any other school for the disabled. He immediately took up the challenge and vowed to fight for the formal recognition of cricket for the disabled. His initial three month contract at Dorothea became six years. Ten years after playing cricket with the learners at the school, the first biennial tri-nations cricket tournament between South Africa, Australia and New Zealand was played in Cape Town – mostly due to Winston’s determination and sacrifices. It was no easy path. He first had to convince other schools to take up the sport, establish a formal competition between the schools, arrange a provincial tournament, expand the initiative to other provinces, arrange a national competition and convince other countries to do likewise. The biggest challenge however, was to convince ‘normal’ people in the cricket mainstream that there is no such thing as disabled cricket. “You
don’t get a disabled cricket bat, ball or helmet. Intellectually disabled people use
the same cricket equipment as any other player and they play by the same rules and adhere to the same code of conduct. So why call it disabled cricket? It should be cricket played by disabled people,” he says passionately. After many presentations and meetings with various parties, Winston slowly convinced others that cricket should be made accessible to anyone, irrespective of their ability. In the end he even served on the board of Cricket South Africa (CSA), representing the disabled and receiving the very first Associate Membership for disabled athletes from any sports governing body.
SO UTH A F RIC A

With Dr Peter Cyster also representing Western Province, Pniël therefore had two members on South Africa’s national body for many years. His latest appointment will see him developing cricket structures and creating awareness for the disabled in countries such as Pakistan, India, New Zealand, West India and many others. His challenge is to help these countries develop a plan to play international cricket within 2 to 3 years. Cricket for the intellectually disabled became a passion for Winston and even after his years at Dorothea, he continued with this charitable work. Luckily he receives good support from his employers, British American Tobacco South Africa, where he has been working in the marketing department since 2001. “I sacrificed my holidays for cricket,” he
The position at Inas is voluntary and he doesn’t receive any financial rewards. “To see how cricket uplifts the intellectually disabled and restores their human dignity, is enough reward for me,” he says. “We all go through life just once and we have this one opportunity to make a difference in someone’s life - establishing a positive change.” Winston has definitely made a positive change in many people’s lives. This was perfectly summarised a few years ago by the CEO of CSA when he told Winston: “You have changed the face of international cricket.” Well deserved, Winston!
Congratulations! Winston Stubbs - you are an exemplary member of the BAT South Africa team. With your unique strength and experience, you showed how one can turn challenges into opportunities.

says. “This obviously had its challenges, but fortunately I have a very supportive family.” He is married to Denise and they have three daughters Kayleigh (9), Kirston (8) and Taymore (4).
Bartender of the Year (again!) Adri received a $5,000 cheque and an etched glass trophy for her winning entry. She also received the “People’s Choice Award” which was voted by guests attending the annual event. This year the competition attracted a record 2,800 entries from bartenders and chefs throughout the cruise industry. Ford earned her second Bartender of the Year award for creating the Bacardi Caribbean Hideaway, a refreshing cocktail featuring Bacardi’s Oakheart rum, which was the required ingredient for the signature cocktail category. “I’m immensely proud to see talent like Adri emerging and receiving the accolades she
deserves,” says Zachary Sulkes, Regional Manager, Bacardi Travel Retail Americas.
Adri Ford from Cloetesville, a bartender at the Alchemy Bar aboard the Carnival Conquest cruise ship, has been named “Bartender of the Year” at the annual Bacardi Cruise Competition for the second consecutive year.
Adri has been with Carnival for three years, including the past six months at Carnival Conquest’s Alchemy Bar, a cocktail pharmacy-themed lounge where bartenders in lab coats “prescribe” custom cocktails that feature unique ingredients and are divided into fun categories like Mood Enhancers, Fountain of Youth and Relief for What Ails. Patrons can even fill out a prescription pad and create their own tailor-made concoctions. “Food and drink have always been my passions, and as a young girl I dreamt of being a chef. Good food, good wine and great company makes me happy,” Adri says. She sees herself as a people-person and lists her parents (Keith and Avril Ford) as the most important in her life.

Die finaal het op 28 April in Pretoria plaasgevind. Kim was baie opgewonde en sê sy het haar deelname bloot as ‘n verdere tree in die modebedryf gesien. “Ek het waardevolle ondervinding opgedoen en die modebedryf het my baie as jong dame laat groei,” sê Kim.

Twee gelukkige Riviernuuslesers het elk twee kaartjies vir die rugbywedstryd tussen die DHL Stormers en Crusaders op Nuweland gewen. Riviernuus het op ons Facebook blad gevra wie wou kaartjies na die wedstryd hê en Dehlia Fernandez het gewen met haar kommentaar: “I am a loyal supporter of the Stormers and I am reading every edition of Riviernuus!” Die ander wenner, Allistor Adriaanse, was gekies deur middel van ‘n gelukkige trekking.
Sy het heel toevallig in die modewêreld beland nadat sy iets nuuts in haar lewe wou probeer. Sy het ingeskryf vir Mej Stellenbosch Tiener en was in Oktober 2012 as die eerste wenner van hierdie kompetisie aangewys. Sy is nou verbonde aan die TV Model Agentskap.
Crafters kry blyplek Die M&O Crafters van Idasvallei het ‘n nuwe tuiste! Hierdie groep van 27 dames kom elke Vrydagoggend bymekaar om te borduur, verf, lapwerk, 3D Decoupage en juwelierswerk te doen en het onlangs by die Idasvallei Sportgrond se krieketklubhuis ingetrek. Hulle was vir 12 jaar bedrywig vanuit die Anglikaanse Kerk se Coachman’s Cottage op Stellenbosch, maar moes ongelukkig ander heenkome vind nadat die kerk besluit het om die plek te ontwikkel in ‘n koffiewinkel.
“Dit was Father Robert Clarke se droom om so ‘n groep op die been te bring. Ons twee het die uitdaging aanvaar en in 2000 met 8 lede begin,” sê me London. “Ons is nie net ‘n naaldwerkgroep nie. Hier vergeet ons van probleme en siektes. Wat dit verder merkwaardig maak, is dat almal van ons vanuit verskillende agtergronde en denominasies kom.” Me Wyngaardt beaam dit en sê baie van die lede het iemand aan die dood afgestaan of teleurstellings ondervind. “Ons deel in mekaar se lief en leed,” sê sy.
Die groep het vir ‘n paar maande tydelik die Idasvallei biblioteek gebruik asook die huis van me Magda Wyngaardt. Mnr Gordon Reid het van die groep se dilemma te hore gekom en onmiddellik gereël dat hulle die Idasvallei krieketklubhuis kon gebruik.
Die groep bestaan hoofsaaklik uit pensionarisse en ontvang geen finansiële ondersteuning nie. Hulle koop dus alle materiaal self aan. ‘n Tipiese Vrydagoggend begin met koffie en tee en indien iemand verjaar of iets het om te vier, is daar selfs 'n stukkie koek. Daarna spring hulle aan die werk en kom met ongelooflike skeppings vorendag.
Die M&O Crafters (voorheen die St. Mary's Crafters) is vernoem na die stigterslede Magda Wyngaardt en Olivia London.
Die M&O Crafters is verheug met hulle nuwe tuiste en bedank almal wie gehelp het om die skuif moontlik te maak.

One of the guest spekers, Billy Magdan of Nirabritz Tours, spoke about biodiversity and how local SMME’s can use this to their benefit. “We must tell our tourists about our unique and magnitude people as well as our enormous range of fauna and flora,” he said. Billy is award winning tour guide as well as an honorary SAN Parks guide. Keith Edwards from Metrorail came to see what the Dwars River Valley has to offer as they are interested in bringing tourists from the city to the valley’s wine farms and it’s villages. “We want the tourists to taste the splendid wines and experience the culture in the valley,” Keith said.

Petite Plant Bome Die Petite Primêr Kleuterskool in Pniël het op 11 Mei dertig bome op die skoolgrond en aanliggende areas aangeplant. Die skool het nie genoegsame skaduwee vir hul leerders gehad nie en die maatskappy Greymatter and Finch het die bome geskenk na hulle van Petite se dilemma by een van die ouers, Victoria Mentoor, gehoor het.
Volgens Hymli Krige, hoof uitvoerende beampte by Greymatter and Finch, wou hulle ook graag hul koolstofvoetspoor (carbon footprint) verbeter aangesien die maatskappy baie van lugvervoer gebruik maak tussen hulle kantore in Stellenbosch en Johannesburg. Die organisasie Trees for Africa het die bome verskaf en een van hul verteenwoordigers het die skool gewys hoe om die bome te plant en daarvoor te sorg.

TWEE TWEELINGE All Gold delivers hot dogs The learners of Pniël Primary got a surprise visit form the All Gold Tomato Sauce Team on Thursday, 23 May. All of the learners received free hot dogs (with tomato sauce!) and posed for photos with Tommy the Tomato, the All Gold mascot.
Isaac en Thelma Lackay van Kylemore het in vier jaar se tyd vier kleinkinders ryker geword. Albei hul dogters, Jill Pienaar en Shanaé Lawrence, is nou ma’s van tweelingseuns! Shanaé se twee, Jesi en Joey, was in 2009 gebore en Jill se tweetjies, Lucas en Lyle, is op 24 Mei 2013 gebore. Hier sit Oupa Isaac met Lucas in sy arms en Ouma Thelma hou vir Lyle vas, 4 dae na hul geboorte. Voor staan 4-jariges, Jesi en Joey. Dubbele geluk Lackay familie!
This was part of All Gold's kind gesture to thank the communities of Pniël and Lanquedoc for their warm hospitality during the filming of the new All Gold TV commercial in March this year. In an earlier edition, Riviernuus reported about the buzz in the valley during the filming of the advertisement in which a boy chases after an All Gold truck, trying to return the tomato sauce
bottle that fell off it. Along the way he was stopped by people wanting some of the tomato sauce to add to their meals until he finally reached the truck with an empty bottle.
Thank You PniĂŤl and Lanquedoc For welcoming us to your beautiful valley and your warm hospitality during the filming of the new All Gold Tomato Sauce TV commercial. www.allgold.co.za

Helena Susanna Magdalena Adams 27 SEPTEMBER 1934 - 11 MAART 2013
Baie wat die naam hierbo lees sal glad nie ‘n gesig by die naam kan sit nie. Waarskynlik omdat niemand haar by haar doopnaam geken het nie. Almal het haar net as Aunty Kitty geken. Google sê Kitty beteken "from the Greek name Aikaterina, meaning pure/ clean. People with this name tend to be a powerful force; they are capable and charismatic leaders. They value truth justice and discipline". ‘n Beskrywing wat haar leefwyse perfek beskryf. Sy was so welbekend dat haar van totaal oorbodig was, amper soos Madonna. ‘n Ster in eie reg – ‘n ware legende. Lank voor feministe op hol gegaan het oor vroueregte, was Kitty al ‘n baanbreker vir vroue. In ‘n plek wat deur mans oorheers was, was sy gemaklik met die feit dat sy al roos tussen die dorings was toe sy die eerste vroulike busbestuurder by die destydse Boland Busdienste geword het. Sy het vir baie jare die skoolkinders vervoer waarna sy later as taxi bestuuder welbekend geword het onder Stellenbosch se mense met haar warm persoonlikheid en goeie sin vir humor. Baie se lewens was op een of ander manier deur haar wese aangeraak: op die bus oppad werk of skool toe of in die taxi oppad dorp toe. Miskien was jy een van die kranige netbalspelers
- JENEVÉ LYONS SWARTZ
van die Young Seven Rivers klub wat sy in die vroeë 1970's in Kylemore gestig het; dalk was jy een van die baie kinders wat sy grootgemaak het; of net eendag ‘n geselsie aangeknoop of ‘n glimlag gedeel het. Vir my was sy net my ouma en sy was ‘cool and savvy’. Afgesien van die feit dat sy ‘n bus beter kon bestuur as baie mans, was sy ‘n uitstekende kok en ‘n baie goeie vrou vir oupa Abel met wie sy 57 jaar getroud was. ‘n Liefdevolle moeder was sy teenoor elkeen van haar kinders vir wie sy baie mooi en vele komiese herrinneringe nalaat. As ouma ‘n leuse moes hê sou dit seker lui: “Ek lewe my lewe soos ek daarvan hou.” Sy was hardekwas en het haar nie veel gesteur aan wat ander sê of wat hulle van haar dink nie. Sy het altyd gedoen wat haar gelukkig maak en geen uitdaging was vir haar te groot nie. Sy laat ‘n groot leemte in baie se lewens. Van ons almal: Dankie Ouma, Ma, Aunty Kitty. Tot ons weer ontmoet.

KAYAMANDI FIRE OF 15 MARCH 2013
THANK YOU TO ALL DONORS AND VOLUNTEERS Your help restored people’s dignity.
KAYAMANDI BRAND VAN 15 MAART 2013
DANKIE AAN ALLE SKENKERS EN VRYWILLIGERS U bydrae het mense se waardigheid help herstel.
Onwettige spoedkamera? Ek het onlangs ‘n paar spoedkaartjies ontvang wat aandui dat ek die snelheidsgrens van 60km/h naby Beltana op die Helshoogtepas oorskry het. Ek draai daagliks uit Cluverstraat regs op om oor Helshoogtepas te ry en daar is geen snelheidsgrens (60 km/h) wat op ‘n padverkeersteken vertoon word nie, behalwe die 80 km/h wat ongeveer 600m na die verkeerslig is. Die spoedkaartjies is uitgereik op grond van fotos geneem deur die ‘geel boks’, voordat die permanente kameraas opgerig is in Maart 2013. Die kaartjies is na my mening onafdwingbaar, aangesien hulle spesifiek uitgereik is in terme van die regulasie wat bepaal dat ‘n snelheidsgrens soos op die voorgeskrewe wyse op ‘n padverkeersteken aangetoon, oorskry is. Ek is van mening dat die klag vals is en mens kan die feit dat daar nie ‘n padteken is nie, as verweer gebruik dat die vervolging gestaak moet word. (Belangrik om te kwalifiseer dat hierdie nie regsadvies is nie: regsadvies moet by ‘n toegelate prokureur gesoek word). Die posisie waar die foto geneem is, is ook minder as die vereiste 300m vanaf die posisie van die naaste snelheidsperkteken van 80 km/h. Ingevolge die riglyne * vir spoedvervolgings soos saamgestel deur die TCSP, is dit nie aanvaarbaar nie. Hierdie
riglyne is reeds in ‘n hofsaak as bindend op wetsoepassing gemaak. Die afstand van die toegang tot die munisipaliteit se werf, waar my voertuig op die foto getoon word, tot by die 80 km/h snelheidsbeperkingsteken is maar ongeveer 150 m. Dit is vir my absoluut skreiend dat wetstoepassing gedoen word op die uitgaande kant vanuit die dorp binne sig van die 80 km/h bordjie, waar die padomgewing reeds die indruk van plattelands gee en waar daar geen meer afdraaipaaie is nie. Dit dui aan dat dit bloot oor geldmaak gaan. Die wetstoepassing word deur ‘n privaatkontrakteur namens die Stellenbosch Munisipaliteit onderneem en ek vermoed die Munisipaliteit se deel van die inkomste is gegrond op ‘n persentasie van die boetes: daar is dus miskien ‘n aansporing om meer geld te maak.
Illegal speed camera: Feedback from Municipality I have received a complaint about speed camera at Helshoogte road, where the complainant alleged we are charging members of the public illegal. In the same letter of the Complainant it is stated very clear by the complainant that she/he was traveling from Cluver road and turning right into Helshoogte road. This specific section of the road is still within the built up area. As result of that, it is categorized as an urban area. That is the sufficient reason not to display any road sign as suggested by the complainant. The complainant must always remember the fact that the maximum speed she/he can drive within an urban area is 60 km/h unless indicated differently. The complainant must bear in mind of the fact that as she/he was traveling from Cluver road into Helshoogte road where there is no speed camera sign or signs displayed which authorizes her/him to increase the speed from 60 km/h per hour except the one which is ahead of the area where the offence took place. However if the complainant was traveling from western side of Helshoogte she/he was going to be able to see the speed sign displayed within the reasonable distance before she/he reaches the area of camera deployment. - Mr Ayanda Royi (Head: Traffic Department, Stellenbosch Municipality)

Nuwe Art Part 8 Die kunstenaar Frank Ross het onlangs sy nuwe kunsgallery, Art Part 8, in Franschhoek geopen.
By die opening van die gallery het Dr Michael Le Cordeur, Voorsitter van die Afrikaanse Taalraad en lektor by Universiteit van Stellenbosch, gesê dat Frank se werk boekdele spreek. “Ek is ‘n kunsliefhebber en nie ‘n kunskenner nie, maar mens kan nou die woorde vind om ons ‘townships’ te beskryf,” sê Dr Le Cordeur. Ook teenwoordig by die opening was Dr Franklin Sonn, President van die Afrikaanse Handelsinsituut asook
New Head for Oprah’s School After an international search, the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls (OWLAG) appointed a new Head of the Academy.
Een van Frank se skilderye eertydse SA ambassadeur in die VSA en rektor by die Skiereilandse Technicon (Pentec). “Skilderye bestaan uit basiese materiaal en Frank wys dat mens nie duur materiaal hoef te gebruik om ‘n kunstenaar te wees nie,” sê díe selferkende kunsversamelaar. “Frank se skilderye wys tonele van armoede maar die mense weerspieël egter blydskap wat wys watter mooi dinge uit die warmte van armoede kom. Hy druk armoede uit as ‘n warm ding en nie iets swaar nie.” Dr Sonn het almal aangeraai om te belê in kuns deur ‘n goeie kunswerk te koop. “Ons het ‘n verantwoordelikheid om ons kunstenaars te ondersteun,” sê hy. •

Melvin will take office at the school in Henley on Klip near Meyerton, south of Johannesburg, in 2014 after the retirement of present headmistress Anne van Zyl. The father of two and “a born and bred Capetonian” said the selection process had included interviews in South Africa before shortlisted candidates went to New York where they also met Winfrey. “It was a pretty rigorous experience,” he said. He was educated at St Owen’s Boys (Marist) High School in Cape Town and graduated from the University of Cape Town with a Social Science Degree and Teaching Diploma as well a Diploma in Leadership Development from the Wits Graduate School of Business. He was a teacher at Livingstone High School, Cape Town, for fifteen years and also became Deputy Head. In 2001 he left to become the founding Academic Head and Executive Director of Christel House South Africa. He has been at Bridge House since 2007. Melvin’s work in drafting the Franschhoek Transformation Charter, a historic
He is none other than Melvin King (right), Head of Bridge House Preparatory School in Franschhoek.
Frank is in 1953 in Wellington gebore en dit was nog altyd sy droom om ‘n gallery oop te maak. Hy het geen formele kunsopleiding nie en ten spyte van die moeilike finansiële uitdagings in sy lewe, is sy droom uiteindelik verwesenlik. Sy werk beeld hoofsaaklik die woonbuurte uit waarin hy grootgeword het en hy maak gebruik van helder kleure. “Kleur is baie belangrik vir my en rooi simboliseer die menige uitdagings wat mense in Suid Afrika moet deurgaan,” sê Frank.
document and community engagement project, and his commitment to the process of transformation on sporting and educational associations has gained him a reputation for being a true nation builder. He is the Deputy Chairman of the Franschhoek Schools Transformation Project and the Franschhoek Valley Charter Trust. In looking forward to leading the community at the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls, Melvin believes that “the old and deeply internalised stories of inferiority and superiority that have undermined learning for all South Africans must be replaced by a new story of who we are and what we can become. Every child deserves to have a seat at the table and through a culture of human rights, access to education, hard work and accountability, we will build a better nation for all, where the dignity of every person is upheld.” Congratulations Melvin!

Op die Pad met
BURGEMEESTER C O N RAD S I D E G O
'n Reis na die toekoms CL1 gaan hierdie week sommer so op ‘n toekomsreis, bloot net om die wêreld van môre te verken. Die brandstof in die tenk is vervaardig uit ou gebruikte motorbande wat verwerk is, sommer hier in Klapmuts se nuwe diesel/ petrolaanleg. William Graham, pa van die idee woon net hier om die draai in Somerset-Wes. Ek stop eers hier langs die toeristekantoor vir vroegmôre koffie en koeksisters, hier by Bai en Oemie se stalletjie – mense uit die ou Vlakte-Stellenbosch. Ek val agter die rytjie toeriste in en, terwyl ek my beurt afwag, bekyk ek sommer die bedrywighede wat net verlede week hier afgeskop het. Dis vrolike geselsies, smaakvolle gedempte musiek, die watertand geure van samoosas en roti wat reggemaak word, en die veelkleurige stalletjies met hulle sonlig panele vir kragopwekking. Terwyl ek daar staan vertel ‘n geesdriftige inwoner van Idasvallei my van die nuwe straattuine wat in Tindallstraat floreer en wat ander strate se mense begin inspireer, en van Bloekomlaan se boomplantprojek. “Ten minste twee honderd om mee te begin. Ons bring ons laan t’rug!”, sê sy. Ek vra uit en verneem dat voor elke huis is daar nou ‘n groentetuintjie buite op die sypaadjie, en mense word genooi om te neem vir eie gebruik. So op ‘n Saterdagoggend bring die eienaars hul
produkte na die Al’s Verniet markie daar by die biblioteek in Cloetesville, en jy kan maar so ‘n paar groentetjies neem. “Daar is nogal lekker warm sop ook...met ‘n glimlag, en no charge!” Terug in die motor, al langs Birdstraat, met die stroperige klappersmaak nog vars in die mond, en ek stort amper my laaste bietjie koffie uit. Hier oorkant, omtrent waar die diep gat was verrys nou ‘n nuwe woonstelkompleks. Wat verstommend omtrent die kompleks is, is dat die hele konstruksie uit skeepsvraghouers (containers) gebou is, maar dit lyk soos ‘n storieboek gebou. Net drie maande gelede het ons hierdie revolussionêre idee goedgekeur en hier staan nou ‘n New Generation gebou, gereed vir inwoners vanuit die gewese Vlakte. Fantasie? Drome?
KENNISGEWING VAN OPENBARE VERGADERING OPDATERING VAN DIE BEDRYFSLISENSIE STRATEGIE (BLS) DOKUMENT SOWEL AS DIE PUBLIEKE VERVOER REKORD (CPTR) WAT DEEL VORM VAN DIE OMVATTENDE GEÏNTEGREERDE VERVOERPLAN (OGVP) PROSES VIR DIE PLAASLIKE MUNISIPALITEIT VAN STELLENBOSCH EN FRANSCHHOEK

NOTIFICATION OF PUBLIC MEETING UPDATE OF THE OPERATING LICENCE STRATEGY (OLS) DOCUMENT AS WELL AS THE PUBLIC TRANSPORT RECORD (CPTR) WHICH FORMS PART OF THE COMPREHENSIVE INTEGRATED TRANSPORT PLAN (CITP) PROCESS FOR THE STELLENBOSCH AND FRANSCHHOEK LOCAL MUNICIPALITY
You are invited to attend a public meeting to give your input on the Stellenbosch and Franschhoek Integrated Transport Plan with regard to the transport and traffic needs in your area.
Maar tussen daardie anderse wêreld en ons gesukkel om dinge van die grond af te kry is daar slegs ‘n kopskuif - ‘n nuwe manier van dink.
WHAT IS THE INTEGRATED TRANSPORT PLAN (ITP)? It is a five year municipal transport plan to identify projects and programmes to address the transport needs of the community. The ITP is updated annually. The purpose of the public meeting is to acquire information so that the ITP can be accurately updated for the area.
Alles wat ek hierbo beskryf het is moontlik – vandag nog, maar ons moet daardie anderse denke met passie aanpak. Innovering is nie meer ‘n keuse nie, dis ‘n móét, en Stellenbosch moet aan die voorpunt daarvan staan.
Providing your inputs and comments are important so that transport problems in your area are noted and addressed in the ITP. Join us and have your say at the public meetings to be held at the following venues: Area Venue Date Time Groendal Hall, Stiebeuel Street, Franschhoek 12 June 2013 19:00 Franschhoek City Town Hall, Plein Street, Stellenbosch 13 June 2013 19:00 Stellenbosch
Israeliete van Idasvallei “Die Israeliete het vir 40 jaar in die woestyn rondgeswerf oppad na die Beloofde land. Ons weet hoe hulle moes gevoel het want ons wag ook al 40 jaar vir huise.” Dit was die mening van sommige Wyk 5-inwoners tydens hul IDP (Infrastructure Development Plan) vergadering by Brückner Laerskool. Behalwe die behuisingsprobleem, het Idasvallei-inwoners ook die volgende probleme ge-identifiseer: •	Behoefte aan ‘n gemeenskapsaal •	Riool wat in agterplase opdam •	Tekort aan sypaadjies - kinders se lewens word in gevaar gestel •	Geen bushokkies •	Tekort aan hulp by Idasvallei Sportgronde
Weiering van munisipale trokke om swartsakke op te tel. Hierdie sakke beland dan in die rivier Dwelms wat vrylik beskikbaar is in die area.
Inwoners van Jonkershoek (wat ook deel uitmaak van Wyk 5) was ook teenwoordig en wou weet wat die munisipaliteit se planne is met hul area. “Jonkershoek behoort nie aan Idasvallei of Simonswyk nie. Die Afbakeningsraad moet die grense hersien,” was iemand se kommentaar. Inwoners beweer dat daar reeds in 1998 geld beskikbaar gestel was vir behuising, maar niks het nog daarvan gekom nie. In antwoord het mnr Lester van Stavel, waarnemende Direkteur: Behuising, gesê
Wyk 5 inwoners luister aandagtig tydens die IDP vergadering
dat die munisipaliteit R200 000 in die volgende boekjaar vir Wyk 5 bewillig het vir ‘n behuisingsprojek in Idasvallei. Die bedrag word verhoog na R3.3 miljoen in die daaropvolgende jaar en weer R3.3 miljoen daarna. Hierdie geld is egter slegs vir die verskaffing van interne dienste.
Mnr André van Niekerk, Dirketeur: Ingenieursdienste, het die vergadering ingelig dat daar ongelukkig nie baie goeie nuus is nie. “Die behoefte is tien keer groter as die munisipaliteit se begroting,” het hy gesê. “Die agterstand op basiese dienste is ongeveer R1.1 miljard. Die munisipaliteit keer ook nou nuwe projekte af aangesien die dorp nie die ekstra riool kan hanteer nie.”
HIV Training in America
Closing the tap on Alcohol and Drug Abuse
On Saturday, 11 May, the Franschhoek Rural Development Forum in conjunction with the municipalities of Stellenbosch and Cape Winelands, Cape Pine and the Provincial Department of Community Development, launched a Drug and Alcohol Abuse Programme in Wemmershoek. Drug Use and Alcohol Abuse are the two main culprits in breaking down our rural
communities. It is therefore imperative that something needed to be done to avoid our rural communities from falling deeper and deeper into the claws of these evils. The youth of Wemmershoek listened attentively while Mr Desmond Manual, a drug abuse survivor, gave testimony. Me Bonita Davids from the Department of Social Development also explained the negative impacts of alcohol and drug abuse to the youth. Article by: Frederick Fischer
And the winner is: Magdalene (second from left) upon hearing that she will visit Washington.
The HPTN held its Annual Meeting from 3 to 8 May and Magdalene received valuable training which she now has to share with other community health committees. The HPTN in partnership with the Desmond Tutu TB Centre (DTTC), part of the Department of Paediatrics and Child Health at Stellenbosch University, is funding an initiative called PopART (Population Effects of Antiretroviral Therapy to reduce HIV Transmissions).
Through PopART, nine clinics in the Western Cape and 12 in Zambia were identified in a study that ultimately aims to bring down the rate of HIV infections in South Africa and Zambia. It will investigate whether providing a combination of HIV treatment and prevention interventions to communities will better prevent the spread of HIV than the standard methods that are offered today. Cloetesville Clinic is one of the nine clinics and Magdalene was chosen as representative through a lucky draw. Magdalene is also a ward committee member for Ward 16.

The All Saints, St Marks and St Nicholas Catholic communities recently staged their annual dance in the Stellenbosch Town Hall.
The dance was a huge success and has become one of the most popular events on the Stellenbosch social calendar. Here are some of the patrons having a ball!
Pniël Primary’s under 13 soccer team received jerseys, scarves and golf shirts from the English Premier League team, Fulham. This donation was made possible by Peter Barnes from Oxford who is a season ticket holder at Craven Cottage (home of Fulham). Through the facilitation of Neville Wilson and Pearl Mansfield (parent) the kit was delivered to Pniël Primary on 29 May.
Rohan werk in Rome Rohan Bergstedt, onderwyser by Cloetesville Hoërskool, het uit sy pos bedank om sy sokkerafrigtingsdroom te verwesenlik. Rohan was die afgelope 8 jaar engelse onderwyser waar hy verantwoordelik was vir sokker. Hy was ook die laaste paar maande Idasvallei Sokkerklub se afrigter en wil nou graag sy UEFA B sokkerafrigtingslisensie in Holland voltooi. Daarvoor het hy ekstra inkomste nodig. Hy gaan dus vir die volgende jaar in Rome, Italië, werk om genoeg geld bymekaar te maak om die kursus te voltooi. Onder Rohan se leiding het Cloetesvillesokker groot hoogtes bereik: In 2008 het die o/18 span die Nasionale Kampioenskappe gewen, o/16 was Wes-Kaap Kampioene in 2006, en die 0/14 en 0/19 het provinsiale toernooie gewen.

Die skool het ook al vele sokkertoere onderneem, onder andere in 2006 na die wêreldbeker in Duitsland asook na Holland in 2012. “Sokker is my passie en om te sien hoe ons kinders op die veld presteer, is baie vervullend,” sê die groot Manchester United aanhanger.

BTT invests in Youth Development As part of a comprehensive social development strategy for the Dwars River Valley, the BTT has appointed youth volunteers from the valley through an intensive recruitment process.
Youth Volunteers ready for the challenge From left: David van Wyk, Ilse Johnson, Lydia Malan and Charles Quint (BTT Administrator)
The young volunteers will be tasked to do comprehensive research about challenges faced by young people. They must develop creative and relevant programs that will assist the BTT and other partners to address issues such as poverty, unemployment and substance abuse in Lanquedoc, Kylemore, Pniël, Johannesdal and Meerlust. The volunteers have already started to draw up a profile of the various communities and have presented it at the Trust's biweekly social interactive sessions. This has provided a basic understanding about each village in relation to backyard-dwelling, overcrowding, lack of housing, number of dwellings and population-estimates. A full profile will be done in collaboration with the Informal Settlement Department of Stellenbosch Municipality. This profile will be published for public benefit and learners at our schools will have access to basic information about their communities.
Another key element of the program is the mentoring of youngsters. This is aimed at providing community-based support for children, especially those facing serious challenges in their own homes. The volunteers will act as role-models and change-agents in a way that will inspire young people to embrace behaviour modification.
The group has planned a youth festival for this month (see opposite page). Other activities to follow will include talkshows, competitions, community-based work, sports events, talent shows and cultural events. The youth volunteers will inform Riviernuus readers on their progress on a regular basis.
Dié 'Beast' speel vir WP
Damien Swartz (12) van Kylemore is gekies om vir die WP o/13 rugbyspan te speel. Hy is 'n leerder by Stellenbosch Laerskool en is 'n kranige stut. Sy held is die Springbok Tendai (Beast) Mtawarira en dis ook sy bynaam op die veld: Beast! Damien is die seun van Seon en Dionne Swartz en sy ouers is baie trots op sy prestasie. Sy eerste ondervinding in provinsiale kleure is die naweek van 14-17 Junie tydens ‘n inter-provinsiale toernooi op Riversdal. Daarna vertrek hy na Sasolburg om aan die nasionale toernooi op 28 Junie deel te neem. Baie geluk Damien!
IDP Youth Outreach Programme The Stellenbosch Municipality have recently concluded the IDP community engagements in all the wards and is now planning to host an IDP Youth Outreach Programme during the month of June.

Politiek Pollie sê
Grafiek onder: Die Rand Dollar Wisselkoers oor die laaste 30 Jaar
AANGERAND! Hallo Riviermense! My naam is Pollie en ek gaan vir julle skryf soos ek dinge sien: ‘n Bird’s Eye View sê die Ingilsman mos! Vandag praat ek oor die dollar wat besig is om ons arme randjie aan te rand! Indien dinge so aanhou gaan die groen renostertjie agter Madiba een van die dae amper niks werd wees nie. En as ek nou besluit om my Amerikaanse vriende te gaan besoek en ‘n paar dollars nodig het, moet ek R10 uithaal om net een dollartjie te kry. Hulle Big Macs kos ongeveer $7 wat beteken ek sal R70 moet opdok. Dit net vir ‘n burgertjie. Nee dankie, ek bly liewers by die huis en koop eerder ‘n barrel KFC!
Gepraat van barrel: Suid Afrika koop mos 95% van ons olie van die Midde Ooste en Afrika. Hulle verkoop die olie in barrels (vate) en dit kos vandag rofweg $100 per vat. Daar is 159 liters in 'n vat wat dan uitwerk na $0.62 per liter olie of R6.20 in rand-terme. Die olie moet dan hierheen vervoer word, ons maak petrol, en dit beland in ons tenke waarvoor ons nou R12 per liter betaal. So indien die rand nie gou herstel nie, gaan ons binnekort meer betaal vir petrol. Gelukkig vlieg ek!
R12,00 R10,00 R8,00 R6,00 R4,00 R2,00
My mynvriende (en Adri Ford op bl.4) is seker baie bly hieroor want myne verkoop goud en ander blink goedjies aan buitelanders in dollars. So as hulle ‘n stukkie goud van 1kg verkoop, sal hulle omtrent $50 000 kry. En as hulle dit in rand omskakel, is dit R500 000! Ek het gaan kyk na die afgelope 30 jaar se syfertjies en iets baie interessants raakgesien. Die rand het sedert 1983 omtrent elke jaar teen die dollar verswak.
Gemiddelde Jaarlikse Koers
My finansiële (en politieke) kennis is nie so goed om dit te analiseer nie (want ek is net ‘n voëltjie), maar iets sê vir my R10 is darem te kwaai om vir $1 te betaal. Ek dink egter nie dis nou ‘doom and gloom’ vir ons land nie en my voorspelling is: aan die einde van 2013 sal 'n dollar ongeveer R8.50 kos. Ons klets weer volgende keer!

DA maak strate skoon Lede van die Demokratiese Alliansie (DA) het op Werkersdag, 1 Mei, Lanquedoc (Wyk 3) se strate skoongemaak. Hier is van die lede op straat.

"Ek sal jou nooit vergeet" Persoonlik voel ek hy sou nooit tevrede wees met vele van die besluite deur sommiges in ons regering nie en hy sou korrupsie nooit aanvaar het nie. Sy bekende gesegde was “I am a forthright soldier, if I believe something is evil, I say so.”
10 April was vir my ‘n baie emosionele dag. Ek het die dood van my held, Chris Hani, herdenk . Chris was gebore in Cofimvaba, Transkei, op 10 Junie 1942 en was ‘n persoon van ware statuur. Hy het as 15 jarige seun by die ANC Jeugliga in 1957 aangesluit en was aktief betrokke in die Oos- en Wes-Kaap waarna hy die land in 1967 verlaat het (die jaar van my geboorte). Ten spyte van sy stryd teen apartheid en strewe na geregtigheid, het hy ‘n sterk liefde vir die literatuur ontwikkel. Dit het ook juis bygedra tot sy haat vir alle vorms van onderdrukking. Ek het ook die geleentheid gehad om met hom samesprekings te voer wanneer hy sy familie in Kayamandi besoek het. Hulle het my altyd met hom vergelyk en natuurlik was ek gebrandmerk as militant. Dit was onvergeetlike oomblikke en ek was altyd gefassineerd met sy buitengewone analitiese denke.
- FRANKLIN ADAMS Raadslid: Stellenbosch Munisipaliteit, leier van SPA
“I am a forthright soldier, if I believe something is evil, I say so.”
Op 10 April 1993 was ons land tot stilstand gebring, want my held was van sy lewe ontneem. Ek dink nie Clive Derby Lewis en Janusz Walus het die onreg wat hulle aan sy familie en miljoene volgelinge gedoen het, besef nie. Suid Afrika sou nooit weer dieselfde wees nie, want dit was asof die laaste stukkie van
die legkaart, wat ons herlewing sou moes voltooi, verdwyn het. Chris se insette en leiding, om geregtigheid te gee tot ons saak, word gemis. As ons kyk na al die uitdagings in ons land, wonder mens altyd: Wat sou Chris se standpunt wees?
Ek wonder wat sy rol vandag sou wees, maar ek het geen twyfel dat hy verseker my president sou wees. Miskien sou ek deel gewees het van sy “security detail”, wat na sy veiligheid sou omsien. Ek sou vir geen oomblik getwyfel het om ‘n koeël vir hom te vang nie, want dit sou die moeite werd wees. Ek het daarom seker gemaak dat ek in 1993 op die trein klim op pad na Johannesburg om die laaste eer aan my held te betoon. Ek hoop ons dorp sal eendag erkenning gee aan hierdie groot persoon met ‘n dapper en eerbare gesindheid. Ons is dit aan sy nalatenskap verskuldig. Chris, Hamba kahle my brother and comrade. Aluta Continua!

Kylemore hosts Welsh The Welsh rugby club, Llandaff, played Kylemore Rugby Club in a friendly on Saturday, 24 May, as part of their two match Cape Town tour. According to Club President, Mr Nigel Perris, Llandaff is in Cardiff and is referred to as a city within a city. “We compete in Division 4 of the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) and have just finished our season in third place. We regularly tour after our season and have visited USA twice, Canada three times and this is our second visit to South Africa but our first to Cape Town,” he says. The 42 Welshmen were in the Western Cape for 11 days and also played Temperance Rugby Club. They visited various sites in and around Cape Town with the Winelands high up on their list. Unfortunately they lost their game against Kylemore, but gave very good account of themselves despite arriving in the country less than 24 hours before kick-off. There was no evidence of any jet lag or match fatigue at the post-match function, arranged for them by the host club. Apparently the function went on much later than expected, with great camaraderie formed between north and south. In true Welsh fashion, the touring party also showed why Wales have some of the best male choirs in the world!
UITNODIGING Alle sportklubs in Stellenbosch area: Riviernuus sal baie graag wil berig oor jou klub se aktiwiteite. Laat weet ons gerus en ons sal ons bes probeer om maksimum blootstelling aan jou klub te gee. Kontak Wendell by 021 885 2392 of wendell@riviernuus.co.za
Post match celebrations on the field
President besoek Kylemore Op uitnodiging van die Kylemore Rugbyklub se voorsitter, Abraham Lakay, het Mnr Thelo Wakefield, president van WP en Stormers Rugby, die dorp onlangs besoek om die wedstryd tussen die tuisspan en Blue Jets by te woon.
Volgens die president geniet hy klubrugby en probeer hy altyd ‘n plan maak om wedstryde, tussen sy besige WP en Stormers skedule, by te woon. “Daar is 91 klubs in ons unie en dit is onmoontlik om by almal uit te kom. Ek is egter baie bly om in Kylemore te wees en deel van my besoek is om aan gemeenskappe te wys dat hulle nie alleen is nie en die ondersteuning van die unie het. Ons weet van julle bestaan,” sê hy. Die president sê hy is nog baie gelukkig in sy rol en dat die unie se werksaamhede onder beheer is.
Op die paviljoen tussen die skare: Voor van links: Anele Zita (voorsitter van Blue Jets Rugbyklub), Thelo Wakefield (President van WP Rugby) en Abraham Lakay (voorsitter van Kylemore Rugbyklub) “Ons het wonderlike administrateurs wat hulle baie goed van hul taak kwyt. Daar is nog groot uitdagings, maar ek het volle vertroue in WP Rugby.” Dit blyk dat die president die regte wedstryd gekies het om by te woon, want ‘n

aantal spelers het definitief sy oog gevang. Dit was ‘n rillerstryd tot die einde. Met nog 2 minute in die westryd oor was die telling 29 elk. Albei spanne se ondersteuners het uit volle bors hul spanne aangemoedig maar ‘n strafskop en ‘n drie in die doodsnikke het die wedstryd vir Blue Jets beklink.
Kylemore het sy derby rugbywedstryd teen Blue Stars van Klapmuts op 11 Mei met 29-20 gewen. Dewald Hoorn, senter, het Kylemore se tweede drie gedruk en Riviernuus se kameras het die oomblik vasgevang.
Een sokkerklub vir Idasvallei? Die vier sokkerklubs in Idasvallei is besig om na die moontlikheid te kyk om die klubs saam te smelt. ‘n Werkgroep bestaande uit verteenwoordigers van Ida’s Valley FC, Nelsons FC, United FC en Victoria Swifts FC het reeds vergaderings gehou om hierdie inisiatief te bespreek. Die voorstel is dat die nuwe klub ‘n gemeenskapsklub sal wees wat as ‘n eenheid funksioneer om beter blootstelling aan plaaslike spelers te verkaf. Een van die grootste uitdagings vir die vier klubs is die toestand van junior sokker. Feitlik al die klubs het nie genoeg spelers om in elke ouderdomsgroep te kompeteer nie en eenwording behoort hierdie probleem uit te skakel. Die huidige voorstel is dat die vier klubs nog steeds in hul onderskeie ligas speel, maar dit onder die vaandel van ‘n gesamentlike klub doen.
Samesprekings is nog in 'n vroeë stadium en die groep erken dat eenwording vir sommige ‘n emosionele saak mag wees. Enige persoon met voorstelle of opinies word uitgenooi om die volgende vergadering by te woon op Donderdag, 6 Junie, 19:30 by die Idasvallei Krieketklubhuis.
Rugby: How will they perform in 2013?

Spotted in the Valley Berries before the Storm: Quade Cooper, Queensland Reds and Australian flyhalf, took some time off rugby and visited the Dwars River Valley on Saturday, 25 May, before their game against the Stormers.
Following relegation from Super League B to Premier League A (third division) last season, Pniël Villagers are in tough draws with the likes of Sir Lowrians, St. Georges, Collegians, Kraaifontein, Macassar and Rangers. Villagers will find it difficult but should pose a huge threat and indeed stiff competition for the other nine in Premier League A.
Lanquedoc with their two teams (All Stars RFC and Lanquedoc RFC) will once again have divided loyalty! All Stars have been promoted to the Langeberg League in the Boland and the extensive traveling could have a huge influence on their performances. Lanquedoc RFC will also struggle a bit and serious consideration should be given to combine these two clubs. Together they will be much stronger.
Stellenbosch Coronations will look to bounce back, which will pose to be a huge challenge for them as they were relegated yet again from Premier League B to Division 1 in 2012, after having competed in Premier League A in 2011. This should be a season where the boys from Ida's Valley will have to find their feet, if they are to bounce back at all
Kylemore, competing in Division 2, will definitely be contenders for league honours. Division 3 will be tougher this year with most clubs finding their feet.
Current log standings: Pniël Villagers: 9th in Premier League A Stellenbosch Coronations: 7th in Division 1 Kylemore: 5th in Division 2 Cloetesville: 5th in Division 3 Lanquedoc All Stars: 6’th in Langeberg Region Lanquedoc RFC: 6’th in WP Simonsberg League
... And now the Forecast Using my rugby Crystal ball, here are my predictions for this season: •	•	•	•	•	•
Pniël Villagers: 4'th in Premier League A Stellenbosch Coronations: 4'th in Division 1 Kylemore: 5'th in Division 2 Cloetesville: 5'th in Division 3 Lanquedoc All Stars: 6'th in Boland Langeberg Lanquedoc RFC: 8’th in WP Simonsberg

Coronation: Verslag van Voorsitter - COLIN MYBURGH Coronations Voorsitter
As voorsitter van Coronation Krieketklub kan ek net my dank teenoor onse Heer en Vader uitspreek vir nog `n geseënde seisoen waar Hy ons deurgedra het. Silwerware was nie altyd vir ons beskore nie maar die feit dat so baie jongmense vir die klub speel en baie talent openbaar, is iets wat Coronation vorentoe kan neem.
At Rivendell we pride our horses not only for their beauty and quality but for their temperament, ridability and spirit. Our wide range of stallions also ensures we have something to suit your needs, whether you are looking for a top eventer, a dressage champion or a steady all rounder.
With the use of not only imported warmblood stallions but also some of South Africa's finest Thoroughbred bloodlines, Rivendell is producing young horses that were born to be athletes and if produced correctly they will without doubt compete on an international level.

Dit is duidelik dat gemeenskappe orals gebuk gaan onder finansiële druk wat alle sportkodes raak. Groot organisasies wat nie wil betrokke raak in hul eie gemeenskappe nie, is ook dieselfde mense wat môre kla as die jeug wangedra of hul eiendomme bedreig. Julle sal `n baie groter rol kan speel deur julle finansiële kapasiteit in veral die sportmense/klubs/jongspelers in ons omgewing te belê. Terselfdetyd wil ek baie dankie sê aan die klub se donateurs wat so getrou ondersteun deur hierdie ekonomiese tye. Die bestuur van hierdie seisoen het ook hul deel bygedra en offer baie op om ons jongmense van sport te voorsien. Individuele ouers ondersteun nog hul kinders Saterdae maar daar sal meer ouers betrokke moet raak. Baie geluk ook aan Angus Simmers en sy vroue-krieketspan wat Coronation se naam hoog hou. Krieketvaardigheid is definitief besig om onder ons jongmense agteruit te gaan. Individuele afrigting met `n groot begroting van die ouers se kant of die individu self, om vaardighede op the bou
met bv. private afrigtingssessies, moet oorweeg word. Twee aande se oefening werk lankal nie meer om vaardighede te bevorder nie. Ons hoogtepunt vanjaar was defnitief Henry Davids se insluiting in die T20 span van die Proteas. Reeve Cyster wat in die Bolandspan gekies was, asook Peter Cyster wat as ondervoorsitter van Krieket Suid Afrika gekies was. Ons 0/15 span het ook die ses `n kant toernooi in Stellenbosch gewen. Toekomstige spelers wat eendag gaan uitblink vir die klub is Charl Cyster, Shamiel Adams, Darren Jason, Pearce Cyster, Damion Williams, John Jeftas en Curtley Klaasen. Julle het `n blink toekoms voor julle. Coronation Krieketklub met haar bestuur hoop egter dat meer van die plaaslike munisipaliteit se kant gedoen word om betrokke te raak by sosiale ontwikkeling by veral die krieketklub. Die klubgeriewe en kleedkamers is tans nie geskik vir krieket nie en belastingsbetalers se geld kan ook goed aangewend word om die geriewe lewensvatbaar te maak. Dankie aan al die spelers wat opreg probeer het om sy beste vir Coronation te gee. Bly egter nederig in al julle suksesse en dan sal die Here julle nog verder oplig. Tans neem daar spelers deel aan binnenshuis-krieket en hul kan Angus Simmers kontak vir meer besonderhede. "Cricket isn't just a game... It's a way of life".
Beroepspeler van die Jaar Elke streek in Suid-Afrika moes iemand nomineer waarna ‘n paneel, bestaande uit beroepspelers en leiers in die industrie, deur ‘n streng keuringskriteria die wenner moes kies. Louis (37) se betrokkenheid by die spel, op en van die baan, het die knoop vir hom deurgehak. Louis is reeds 13 jaar by Stellenbosch Gholfklub en is die jongste wenner van hierdie gesogte titel. In 2004 het hy ook die PGA se Vakleerling van die Jaar gewen en sy jongste prestasie maak hom die enigste persoon in Suid Afrika wat beide sertifikate op sy muur kan hang. Deel van sy prys is die gebruik van ‘n nuwe Volvo S60 vir ‘n jaar en is hy dus nou ook ‘n ambassadeur van die gewilde motorvervaardiger. As Direkteur van Gholf by Stellenbosch is hy verantwoordelik vir die baan, winkel, korporatiewe gholfdae en personeel. “Stellenbosch het wêreldbekende toernooie aangebied en dit is ons taak om die baan aan te pas sodat dit nog steeds aanloklik
vir spelers is. Ons het verlede jaar die sandputte oorgedoen en is nou in die proses om beide mans en vroue se bowwe te opgradeer. Stellenbosch is een van die oudste gholfbane in die land en het deur die jare vele bome verloor. ‘n Groot boomplantprogram is dus ingestel om die ou ‘parkland’ gevoel terug te bring,” sê hy. Louis het Sportwetenskap by Stellenbosch Universiteit studeer en sê hy is baie gelukkig om die beste van beide wêrelde te beleef. “Ek is beroepspeler en ook betrokke by die administrasie van die spel. Ek speel gholf vanaf ‘n jong ouderdom en dit het op ‘n manier my stokperdjie geword. ‘n Engelse spreekwoord som dit baie goed op: ‘Make your hobby your job and you’ll never work a day in your life’,” sê hy. Hy is getroud met Heleen en het twee kinders, Francois en Niela. “Ek het ‘n wonderlike vrou wat my baie goed ondersteun. Mens moet reg trou,” grap hy. Sedert 2008 is Louis ook onder-voorsitter van die PGA SA en is hy baie betrokke om te verseker dat gholf in Suid-Afrika op gesonde voet is. Geluk Louis!
Louis Destroo, Stellenbosch Gholfklub se Direkteur van Gholf, is aangewys as die PGA SA (Professional Golf Association South Africa) se Klub-Beroepspeler van die Jaar.
