Polisie skiet seun glo RICHARD ROBERTS
Klarina het vandeesweek vertel hoe haar seun raakgeskiet is.
’n Ma van Wesbank betreur die dood van haar tienerseun, wat na bewering deur ’n lid van die Mfuleni-polisie doodgeskiet is. Klarina Ahrendse van Etonastraat, Wesbank beweer haar seun, Damian ‘Dam Dam’ Ahrendse (15), is deur ’n lid van die polisie “soos ’n hond van agter geskiet”. Damian, ’n leerder aan die Hoërskool Scottsville in Kraaifontein, is Vrydag omstreeks 18:00 raakgeskiet. Hy is deur ’n buurman met ’n bakkie na die Delft-daghospitaal vervoer, waar hy kort ná sy aankoms gesterf het.
Nabygeleë straat Volgens haar was daar op die betrokke dag ’n skietvoorval in ’n nabygeleë straat waarin ’n 10-jarige seun gewond is. Sy het gesê Damian en ’n vriend, bekend as Andrew, het na die toneel gegaan. “Ek het by ’n buurvrou van my gekuier en hom verby die huis gesien stap.” Hy is kort daarna geskiet. “Hulle het ’n polisie-bakkie oor die veld gesien jaag en het toe begin hardloop. Die polisiebeampte het uit die bakkie geklim en op hulle geskiet. Hy het so ses skote afgevuur,”

het die ma vertel. Sy het gesê die betrokke polisiebeampte is bekend aan haar. Haar seun is in die rug gewond. Die koeël, volgens haar, het glo voor by sy bors uitgekom. “Hy het gestrompel en voor my vriendin se huis geval en daar bly lê. Hy het gevra dat ons hom omdraai. Ek dink nie hy kon reg asemhaal nie.” Die beampte, volgens haar, het tot in die straat gery, nog met die vuurwapen in sy hand. “Ek het op die polisie geskreeu en gesê hy het my kind geskiet.” By die hospitaal het die verpleegster die

ma ingelig dat haar seun oorlede is. “Die verpleegpersoneel het hom probeer bybring. “Damian het nog geleef toe hy by die hospitaal gekom het.”
Vermoed Die ma vermoed dat haar seun in die hart getref is. “Dit was my baba, my jongste kind,” het sy gesê. Volgens haar was Damian nie by ’n bende betrokke nie, net sy ouer broer. Die Wes-Kaapse minister vir gemeenskapsveiligheid, Dan Plato, het die gesin Saterdag besoek. V Na bl. 2

Plato het gesê hy kan nie bevestig of die seun deur ’n polisielid raakgeskiet is nie. “Ek wil die saak na die onafhanklike polisie-ondersoekdirektoraat (Opod) verwys sodat hulle dit kan ondersoek,”’ het hy gesê. Hy het gesê die meeste omstanders wat hy ondervra het, het aangedui dat dit ’n polisiebeampte was wat op Damian losgebrand het. Plato het die dood van die tiener as skokkend beskryf. “Hy was in die fleur van sy lewe. Ek betreur sy dood en die omstandighede van sy dood. “Natuurlik hoop ek dat die gereg sy loop sal neem,” het Plato gesê. Hy het gesê die gesin het hom om hulp genader. “Hulle het antwoorde by my gesoek. Hulle wou weet wat ons daaromtrent gaan doen. Hulle wil weet of die beampte vervolg gaan word,” het hy gesê. Hy het hulle ingelig dat hy ’n brief aan Opod sal stuur. Kapt. Frederick van Wyk, provinsiale polisiewoordvoerder, het by navraag bevestig dat ’ntienerseun Vrydag in Etonastraat, Wesbank doodgeskiet is. “Die polisie in Mfuleni het die betrokke aand om 19:40 ’n klagte bygewoon oor ’n skietvoorval in Etonastraat. By die toneel het hulle op die 15-jarige slagoffer afgekom met ’n koeëlwond in sy regterbors. Die slagoffer is deur sy vriend vir mediese behandeling hospitaal toe geneem, waar hy gesterf het.” Van Wyk het gesê daar word beweer dat hy deur ’n lid van die polisie raakgeskiet is en dat Opod daaroor ingelig is. “Die voorval word ondersoek.” ’n Moordsaak is geopen. Edith van Wyk, ’n gemeenskapswerker, het gesê daar word gereeld in die gebied geskiet. “Die mense is al gewoond daaraan,” het sy gesê. Damian word Saterdag uit die Elim Pinkster-sentrum in Wesbank begrawe. V Enigiemand met inligting oor die voorval kan die polisie se Stop Misdaad by 0860 010 111 kontak.
JP Carelse wants to inspire youth through his music.
Radio presenter going for gospel gold GARY VAN DYK @gvdcapejazz
A young man is going for gold in the gospel field with the launch of his new single. JP Carelse may be a familiar voice on Radio CCFM (107.5FM) as a presenter, but he has got his eyes set on hearing his own music on those airwaves as well. He recently launched his debut single, “Hold Onto God”, at the Christian United Church in Elsies River. “This will actually be my debut in the gospel music industry but it really started as a joke,” he says. “Being a presenter at the radio station brought me into close contact with many

people in the gospel music industry, and I used to try my hand at it when I acted as MC at various events. “But, God had other plans for me as I realised that he was opening doors for me to reach out to other youth in our communities, and the time just feels right for me to make this big step.” JP pointed out that the message in the single is aimed at youth to simply spread a message of hope in a time when all hope is lost. “It’s easy to lose the will to go on, and that’s why it’s important for us to be reminded that God is in control, and he will make a way where there seems to be no way. “He’s brought me through the darkest of times, and I know that if he can do it for me, he can do it for anyone – that’s the inspiration behind the track.” JP is quick to point out that the single appeals to young and old. “The song has a new school meets old school feel and it’s something that anyone can listen to, and enjoy,” he says with a smile. “More importantly, it glorifies Christ.” Good news for music lovers is that it will be available for free download in the coming weeks; you just have to log onto his FaceBook profile. Looking to the future, he wants to see the reaction to this song. “God has brought me to this point, and all glory is due to him,” he says. “So I’ll wait and see what he has in store. If He points me in the direction of putting together a full album, then who am I to go against His will. “For now though, if one person’s faith in God is renewed by this track, then it’s mission accomplished.” V Check out JP Carelse on https://www.facebook.com/jpcarelse?fref=ts.

’n Pa van twee word die naweek begrawe nadat hy ’n week gelede in ’n treinongeluk gesterf het. Kevin Strauss (29) van Dennemere in Blackheath is verlede Woensdagoggend oorlede in ’n treinongeluk naby die Kuilsriviertreinstasie. Sy ouers, albei polisiebeamptes, het hul seun as ’n respekvolle en behulpsame persoon beskryf. Kevin se ma, sers. Charlene Strauss van die Kuilsrivier-polisie, was die oggend by die werk toe sy die nuus van haar seun se ongeluk ontvang het. Haar werk het voorberei vir hul jaarlikse afskeid. “Ek wou nog my vervreemde man daardie oggend skakel om hom geluk te wens met sy verjaarsdag, maar toe kontak hy my. “Iemand het hom gebel en meegedeel dat ons kind van die trein afgeval het,” het sy gesê. Sy het die aanklagkantoor by Kuilsrivier gekontak, wat bevestig het dat daar wel ’n ongeluk die oggend plaasgevind het en dat die polisie nog die toneel ondersoek. “Ek het een van my kollegas gevra om saam te gaan soontoe. Ek het op ’n afstand gestaan.” Sy en die beampte het met tweerigting-radio’s gekommunikeer. Die ma is gevra om na haar seun se selfoon te skakel en ’n foto van hom na die kollega
Riana Scott, Metrorail-woordvoerder, het verlede week bevestig dat ’n man Woensdag naby die stasie in ’n treinongeluk dood is. Volgens haar het Kevin tussen twee treinwaens gestaan toe hy geval het. Volgens sy ma was hy op pad na Brackenfell om te werk. Kevin word Saterdag uit die Morawiesekerk in Hillcrest begrawe.
te stuur. Die polisiebeampte het sodoende bevestig dat die slagoffer wel Kevin was. “Ek wou dit nie glo nie,” het sy gesê. Sy is aangeraai om nie nader aan die toneel te gaan nie. “My hart is seer, hy was die oudste van my seuns. Hy was ’n mensemens. Hy was stout soos enige seun maar altyd is, maar hy het nooit sy respek vir ander verloor nie. Hy was innerlik mooi,” het sy ma vertel. Kevin laat twee dogters, Michaela (8) en Geovina (5), agter. Sy pa, ao. Patrick Strauss, het gesê hy is hartseer. “Hy het baie vir my beteken. Hy was altyd gewillig om te help. Ek gaan hom verskriklik mis. Dis nie die soort dood wat ’n mens vir jou kind sal toewens nie.”
Goue tye wag op Uitsig se bejaardes GARY VAN DYK @gvdcapjazz
Goue geleenthede is in sig vir seniors in Uitsig. Die Golden Oldies-klub is in Augustus gestig en ’n paar raadslede is vasbeslote om ’n verskil te maak in die gebied. “Ons as raadslede het die noodsaaklikheid gesien om só ’n klub in Uitsig te vestig,” vertel Jackie Visser, proporsionele raadslid vir wyk 22. “Die ouer mense is in baie gevalle baie verwaarloos en voel onbelangrik. Ons het leiers
in die gemeenskap genader om aan die stuur van die klub te wees. “Hulle is Brenda Matthews en Pearl Williams. Hulle word ondersteun met ’n span.” Sy vertel verder dat die klub tans op die registrasie-sertifikaat as ’n nie-winsgewende organisasie (NGO) wag. “Ons hoop om op hierdie wyse die betrokkenheid en geldelike steun van organisasies en ondernemings te bekom. “Die klub is nou vir drie maande aan die gang en die mense trek groot voordeel daaruit. Ons kan reeds die verskil in hierdie mense se lewens waarneem.”
Verlede week het hulle bietjie bymekaar gekom om die stigting van die klub te vier. “Vandag se funksie was uiters suksesvol,” vertel Visser. “Almal het ’n heerlike Kersete, sowel as ’n geskenk, ontvang.” Sy het ook verduidelik die doelwit van die klub is om ’n diens te lewer aan al die bejaarde inwoners van Uitsig met verskillende aktiwiteite, inligtingsessies, gesondheidsorg, sport en ontwikkeling, asook om vaardigheidsontwikkeling te doen. “Die aktiwiteite behels handwerk, naaldwerk, verfwerk, danssessies en uitstappies.
“Volgende jaar beplan ons toneel-, musiek- en sportfunksies. Ons wil ons ouer mense weer hu lmenswaardigheid gee – hulle is immers die steunpilare van die gemeenskap. “In die nuwe jaar gaan ons vyf naaimasjiene ontvang om die vaardigheidsontwikkeling te bevorder. Ons poog ook om in samewerking met ander organisasies soos sport en ontwikkeling van die Stad Kaapstad, te help met die sosiale ontwikkeling en die bevordering van ouer persone.” V Vir inligting oor die klub, be; Brenda Matthews by 073 111 7083.
City’s grand plan for job creation
The City of Cape Town aims to create 37 500 jobs in the 2013/14 financial year, through its Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP). This is according to a report submitted to the Blaauwberg Subcouncil in their subcouncil meeting recently. The EPWP aims to create work opportunities through both direct and indirect employment methods. In the last financial year, (2012/2013) the City created 35 556 EPWP work opportunities, well exceeding their target of 35 000 jobs for the year. Work opportunities were created through the implementation of 1 100 projects by line departments in various sub councils based on their service delivery mandates. Most of the EPWP jobs created were for the city’s utility services, with Solid Waste Management creating 10 965 work opportunities. To date, 118 projects have been submitted by different subcouncils to the EPWP office for this financial year. These range from general maintenance and cleaning work, to homebased care and social development projects. These proposals have been logged and forwarded to various line departments for consideration. The city’s “Policy for the Recruitment and Selection of Workers from the Community by Council and its Service Providers” is currently under review and a workshop was recently held with subcouncils to gain their input on the matter. The review process is ongoing.

Donations: mobility, smiles GARY VAN DYK @gvdcapejazz
Some global partnerships are keeping the disabled mobile in the community. Blikkiesdorp in Delft was one of the areas where it was in action last week when local councillor Charles Esau touched the lives of some needy residents in the area. He explained that it was part of the activities of The Amitofo Charity Association who have in two consecutive years donated a container of wheelchairs and other medical equipment for the handicapped to the City of Cape Town.
“This donation is facilitated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Republic of China (Taiwan) together with the Director General of the Taipei Office in Cape Town and the Speaker of the City of Cape Town, Alderman Dirk Smit,” he said. “The container received this year includes 164 wheelchairs, some commodes and walkers which will be distributed to needy people at the discretion of the executive mayor, Patricia de Lille.” Councillor Esau received three wheelchairs and one walking ring that he handed over to very grateful disabled residents in the area.

More than just a fitness club GARY VAN DYK @gvdcapejazz
The Bonteheuwel Ladies Walking For Health/Fitness club is about much more than keeping fit – it’s also friendship and socialising. Last week they hosted their special thanksgiving function to extend gratitude to their members and acknowledging their dedication towards the club and community during 2013. Chairperson Soraya Salie said that it was a special event for all members who received a personal certificate of appreciation. They have been very active since the beginning of the year with activities that included taking part in big walks in Stellenbosch and the Sunshine D/Jive big walk. “We also kept our members busy with awareness activities that included supporting the One Billion Rising against violence and abuse of women and children at parliament, and attended a workshop at the Dis-
trict 6 museum,” she said. “Other highlights were a trip to Goudini, visits to various cultural museums, and participation in A Night among Stars at the city hall. “During July we were also part of Gym for Life when the city hosted 25 countries and our members were honoured to participate in the opening and closing ceremonies.” Recent activity also included workshops on HIV/Aids, as well as one with Social Development on abuse and domestic violence. “All these activities play a big part in empowering the women in the community as with the recent 16 Days of Activism when we formed a human chain in front of the police station and multi-purpose centre where we also presented our drama, Break the Silence of Domestic Violence. “During the year we also visit Lilyhaven Home for the Aged every month where we entertain the seniors with exercise, singing and treats.” V For more information call 021 694 1755 or cell 084 824 1615.

Experience the genius of Leonardo da Vinci The most comprehensive travelling exhibition ever compiled on Leonardo da Vinci, Da Vinci – The Genius, will be on show at Chavonnes Battery Museum, Clock Tower V&A Waterfront until 9 February 2014. The ingenuity, innovation and marvels of Leonardo da Vinci’s world will be brought to life in this wide-ranging and stimulating exhibition. The interactive experience will immerse visitors in Leonardo’s timeless brilliance through full-scale interpretations of his inventions and unparalleled studies of his iconic art. Da Vinci – The Genius demonstrates the full scope of Leonardo’s remarkable achievements as an artist, inventor, anatomist, sculptor, engineer, musician, mathematician, architect and all-round Renaissance thinker. Capetonians will have the opportunity to experience over 200 unique pieces including 75 life-size machine inventions built using materials from Leonardo’s era and three-dimensional renderings of his most notable Renaissance works. They will be able to push, pull, crank and interact with many of these exhibits for a hands-on understanding of the scientific principles behind them. One of the most enthralling components of the exhibition will be an astonishing unveiling of 25 secrets about his most famous creation, the Mona Lisa. Over a two-year period, expert and scientific engineer, Pascal Cotte, was given unprecedented access to the painting and was able to photograph the canvas using a cutting-edge 240-million megapixel camera – invented expressly for the purpose, which enabled him to literally unpeel layers of varnish and paint to allow an eye-opening, in-depth analysis of the world’s most famous, and treasured, painting. DaVinci is widely considered to be one of the greatest painters of all time. V The exhibition is open daily from 9:00 to 21:00 and tickets cost R140, R110 for students and seniors (over 60) or R90 for children. Children under five can enter for free and family tickets (two adults and two children) are available at R400. Tickets are available at www.webtickets.co.za.
Witnesses told police that a woman was crossing the road when she was struck by a motorbike. Her husband then dragged her to the island in the middle of the road and she was then transported to Tygerberg Hospital by ambulance. The biker gave his particulars to the am-
bulance driver, because he was in a hurry to catch his flight. Police ask any person who witnessed this accident or who might have details of the motorcycle driver to get in touch with them. V Contact: Detective W/O Pierre Bothma on 021 935 9802/3/5.

Boy cries wolf at checkout Visiting one of the large national grocery retailers today, I was approached by a boy of maybe 13 years carrying a basket with a marked down bread, a few tins of food and a few other items. He asked if I perhaps had a few rand for him as he wanted to also buy chicken. He showed me he had about R20 in coins and a R10. At the till I paid for his basket and when he left, the cashier said it is the third time today that somebody comes with him to the tills and pays. The sad thing – I will most probably never again try to help when it may be somebody that really needs good will. ANON Webletter
Mandela burial not on time anyway Commentators at Nelson Mandela’s funeral stated that, according to local custom, a body had to be lowered into the ground by noon, when the sun was at its highest in the sky and the shadows were at their shortest. The sun is at its highest point at the solar noon, which in general isn’t the same as noon on the clock. South African time is based on the solar noon at a longitude of 30 degrees east (roughly Pietermaritzburg), so the solar noon at Cape Town only occurs at about 12:46. Mandela’s funeral service was running behind schedule, so I thought that maybe he was buried in time, even though it was after noon on the clock. However, I checked the longitude of Qunu, where he was buried, and it’s only slightly to the west of 30
degrees, so solar noon was only about 6 minutes later, namely at 12:06. So even with that adjustment the burial was later than desired. C STEVENSON Edgemead

Elsa was fined for going 92 in an 80km/h zone on a national road just outside Caledon for overtaking a bus and going 12km over the limit; a fast running pace. It was a R200 fine. Okay fine she says: I am a responsible citizen. I will pay the fine. There is a bank account number on the fine. She heard about a government website that said if you pay on time you will get a 50 % discount: www.aarto.gov.za. Great. Every rand counts, especially this close to Christmas. On an unusually hot summer day on due date I go to the local post office and queue to pay the fine. Sorry, they say, we handle only local fines. Yes we are a national post office, but only for local fines. You can pay at Spar. Off to the nearest Spar. No sorry you have to be a registered habitual offender to pay this fine. You can only pay it at the Traffic Department. Off on the road again, and now crawling at a snail’s pace for my sin past Koeberg Road MyCiTi bus roadworks, off to Milnerton Traffic Department. Here another queue in the heat. They are actually very polite. Sorry we have heard about the 50 % off, but it is not yet in operation, you must pay at Caledon or the bank account. So into the car again, and then to another bank queue. At last, someone who takes my now soggy fine money. G JONAS West Beach

Zeldene Macdonald, ready to take centre stage with her talent.
If you’re in the mood for some magical music to get you into the Christmas mood, head for the All Star theatre on Sunday. Two top vocal talents from the Cape Music Institute, Robin Pieters and Zeldene Macdonald, will be taking centre stage when they host their first concert as headliners. This will be taking place at the theatre in the CapeGate centre in Brackenfell from 18:00 for a concert that will also feature Karin Kortje with 7de Laan actress and Hectic 99 presenter Chanelle Davids as MC. Both singers are no strangers to the stage having performed as backing vocalists with Kortje and various other singers on many occasions, Macdonald blew the house down with Jonathan Butler when he was here, but this means much more to them. “We’ve been in the background too long,” says Pieters. “This time we want to do our own thing and show the people that it’s not where you come from, but where your talent can take you, if you have
Robin Pieters, wants to inspire a new generation with song. the passion and dedication to pursue your dreams. “Both of us come from broken homes, less than perfect communities, but we turned our lives around through positive empowerment. “This is how we want to inspire and motivate others out there.” Their relationship and ties to the Cape Music Institute are still strong
with director Camillo Lombard leading the Top Dog band at this performance. Pieters is now also the vocal coach at Kensington High School where they are planning major cultural activities for the next year. Tickets for the concert at R120.

Vele honger magies deur uitreik gevoed Meer as 300 Kaapse kinders is gevoed in die jaarlikse massa-uitreikaksie deur ’n Brackenfellse bediening. Op 9 Desember het die Jesus to my Rescue-bediening sy sogenaamde “One Day Mass Outreach”-dag gehou. “Die dag het begin met ’n besoek aan Blackheath Educare, waar ons vir ongeveer 100 kinders Sondagskool-boeke uitgedeel, en ’n gekookte maaltyd en vrugte voorsien het,” vertel Jaco van As van die organisasie. Die besoek is afgesluit met ’n spesiale gebed vir die kinders, asook die toesighouers en Degreene Tucker, die Educare-moeder. “Hierna het ons Hope in Happy Valley besoek, waar ons eerstens ’n heerlike gekookte maaltyd en vrugte aan die kinders van die tehuis gegee het. Ons het hier ongeveer 200 Sondagskool-boeke met mooi Bybelstories en inkleurprente aan die kinders versprei.” Die kinders van Happy Valley het ook maaltye ontvang. Vandaar het die span aanbeweeg na die Kleinakker-plakkerskamp, waar ’n verdere 70 mense kospakkies en maaltye ontvang het. “Terwyl die vroue besig was met die kos, het die ander lede van die span toiletware en Sondagskool-boekies en tydskrifte, geborg deur Juig, versprei. Daar was ook tyd vir spesiale gebede en siekes is ook by hul huise besoek. “Mag elke kind wat op dié dag liefde ontvang het, geseën word,” sê Van As.

9­year­old already ace driver Charl Michael Visser raced his RKT Zanardi (nr 77) go-kart in the Maxterino schoolboy class (aged 9-13) in the 2013 season on provincial and national level. The nine-year-old pupil from Kenridge Primary School received the following awards at the Karting Awards held recently. He finished third in the Maxterino championship in Western Province. He was also voted as the Rookie Driver of the Year in Maxterino class. He placed fifth national in the Maxterino championship and was again voted as Rookie Driver of the Year on national level. But this is all one side of the story. Charl Michael could not achieve all this without the dedicated commitment of his mechanic. Thando Mnyanda, a 30-year-old man from a township in East London named Mdant-
sane assisted him with all his gokart setups and fine tuning. Thando came from East London in 2008 looking for a job. Thando’s services was required in the beginning of the year to assist Charl Michael as his mechanic by building all his karts and doing all the setups for the chassis. “I still remember that I built Charl Michael’s kart on a Friday night before the Saturday race day after he had a big accident and the kart was badly bent. I worked until 22:00 that Friday evening at the gokart track and Charl Michael still tested it in the pits to see if it was working. “The best part is that he won that regional event the next day with this kart. I have seen this boy grow in the last 12 months to be extremely competitive,” Thando said.

ie Transagulhas-uitdaagvaart vir rubberbote is al bestempel as die taaiste en langste rubberbootwedvaart in die wêreld. Vanjaar word dié vaart vir die 26ste keer aangebied en soos gewoonlik sal die jaers, die bote en die enjins tot die uiterste getoets word. Meer as dertig spanne, waaronder ’n paar uit die noordelike voorstede, het reeds ingeskryf vir die 2013-wedvaart wat oor vyf dae en 900 km beslis word. Hierdie uitmergelende wedvaart, wat jaarliks aangebied word deur die Agulhas Inflatable Boat Club (AIBC), begin op 28 Desember in Plettenbergbaai en eindig op Nuwejaarsdag 1 Januarie in die Strand. Die plaaslike spanne wat gaan deelneem, is FJ Buter en Dian Beyers van Brackenfell,
J Matthee en M van Geems van Kuilsrivier, Nickie Smit en Dewald Theron van Durbanville, Christiaan en Wardo Kriel van Kuilsrivier en Stefan Lindeque en Tony Ingram van Melkbosstrand. Die spanne kan vir een van vier klasse inskryf: die standaardklas; die nuweling-standaardklas; die professionele klas en die gemodifiseerde klas. Die wenners van die 2012-wedren het almal aangedui dat hulle weer vanjaar die branders gaan aandurf. Hulle is: J. Matthee en M. van Geems (standaardklas-wenners, geborg deur Van Loveren); Peter Groenenstein en Nichol Parr (nuweling-standaardklas-wenners, geborg deur Valumax, Amigos en Excellparts); Wimpie Ackermann en Whitey Louw (professioneleklas-wenners,

Dag twee se skof is 86 km. Op dag drie op 30 Desember word ’n afstand van 161 km afgelê. Die spanne trek die oggend weg uit Stilbaai, vanwaar hulle aandoen by Witsand en Waenhuiskrans voordat hulle by Struisbaai op die hoofstrand eindig. Die vierde en vyfde skof vind plaas op Oujaarsdag. Die bote sal uit Struisbaai vertrek en aandoen by Die Damme, Pearly Beach en Uilenskraalmond voordat hulle by Hermanus se ou hawe eindig.
