ree vir tree gaan ’n ma en marathonatleet van Van Riebeeckshof in Bellville die taai Two Oceans-ultramarathon oor 56 km komende Saterdag 31 Maart aandurf ten bate van ’n klein meisie in ’n rolstoel. Dr. Maritsa Kotze (35), ’n mediese dokter by ’n gemeenskapskliniek in Ruyterwacht, het einde verlede jaar gelees van die lot van Ciska Klein (9), wat ’n invalide gelaat is nadat sy op 19 Maart verlede jaar langs die Tygerbergvalleipad deur ’n motor raak gery is. Ciska, wat saam met haar ouers op die plaas Altydgedacht bly waar haar pa ’n plaaswerker is, is eers weer op 5 Februarie vanjaar terug skool toe – die Paarlskool vir neuraal gestremde kinders in Brackenfell. “Ek het gewonder hoe ek kan help, want die gesin bly letterlik om die draai van my,” sê sy. Volgens Kotze het haar mediese klas van 2006 by die Universiteit Stellenbosch se tien jaar-reünie in 2016 besluit om ’n liefdadigheidsprojek te begin. “Ek het besluit om my deelname aan die Two Oceans ten bate van Ciska te doen. Dit sal ons eerste
projek wees. “Elke keer as ek hardloop, besef ek dis so ’n voorreg om die gesondheid en liggaamlike vermoë te hê om dit te kan doen. “Die Two Oceans is ’n baie uitdagende wedloop – fisiek en psigies. So vir daardie paar ure wil ek graag Ciska se ‘bene’ wees. “Die marathon geniet altyd baie mediadekking; daarom dink ek dis die ideale platform om mense van Ciska bewus te maak,” sê sy. Hulle het die Facebook-blad Six Brix MBChB 2006 begin om geld te probeer insamel ten bate van Ciska se onkostes. Kotze, ma van ’n sesjarige seun, het onlangs ’n borgskap van die Asics-atletiekklub bekom. Sy hardloop al die afgelope vyf jaar, maar neem nog net die afgelope drie jaar aan marathons deel. Dit is haar tweede Two Oceans-ultramarathon. Vrywilligers van die StoryBox-projek by Ciska se vorige skool, die Primêre Skool The Valley, het hulle oor die Klein-gesin ontferm en tuisonderrig vir Ciska gereël, asook hul plaashuis opgeknap om vir haar rolstoel geskik te wees. Haar aanvanklike vervoerreëlings het deur die mat geval en haar pa ry haar nou self elke dag skool toe en terug. Ciska word by die skool bygestaan deur ’n fasiliteerder. Mense wat wil bydra tot die hulpfonds, wat hoofsaaklik gebruik word om haar fasiliteerder se salaris te betaal, asook vir petrolgeld vir haar skoolvervoer, kan die Facebook-blad Six Brix MBChB 2006 of Facebookblad Wietse se Run besoek vir meer besonderhede.

Warning: Be cautious of online scams ESMÉ ERASMUS @erasmusesme
fter several reports of fraud with regard to advertisements on online sites such as Gumtree, people are warned to be cautious of scams. In the most recent scam, a Durbanville resident bought a puppy online and paid R16 500, but never received the dog (“Internethond bly nou dalk net ’n droom”, 21/3). Claire Cobbledick, head of core business for Gumtree South Africa, warns that consumers always need to stay alert for scammers. “Online trading sites like Gumtree have enabled millions of South Africans to make and save money. “The overwhelming majority of online transactions pass off safely, but as platforms sharpen their security and new players enter the market, new scams are created. Fortunately these are fairly easy to identify,” she says. Cobbledick highlights some of the current scam warning signs. “Be cautious when potential buyers ask you to delete your ad or communicate only via WhatsApp. This makes it hard for the platform to track your communication. Work though the brand app or platform only, and keep your ad active until the item is sold. Do not provide your direct email address or phone number,” she warns. “Also look out for potential buyers who claim to work offshore. Of course not everyone who works offshore is a scammer, but be extra suspicious if they refuse to communicate via Skype, claim that they don’t have phone access, or that they work on an oil
rig or at a mine in a foreign country. “Also be very alert to anyone willing to pay for the item via PayPal or money transfer without viewing it,” she says. “Be alerted when car buyers, in particular, ask for information not related to the item, such as your bank account details, whether or not your car is equipped with an alarm system or your ID number. “These are possibly data scammers, so never provide any personal information,” she says. “Watch out for potential buyers who refer to your advert in vague terms – referring to ‘the item’ or ‘your merchandise’. It is relatively easy to make sure that the buyer is genuinely interested in your item rather than someone just trawling the internet looking for an easy target. “Anyone who does not want to meet in person to assess the item or to finalise the deal should concern you, unless there is an obvious geographical reason for this,” she says. “Anyone hounding you constantly to make a decision or a payment should send up a red flag. Do not be pressurised – make your checks. “Bad spelling, foreign telephone numbers or a refusal to share information are all warning signs.” Cobbledick says vigilance is the most important defence against scams. “Keep a hawk’s eye out for suspect behaviours during your communication. If in doubt, then back out and report your suspicions to the site so we can follow up. Our helpdesk operates 24/7. Any confirmed fraudulent activity must also be reported to the police,” she says.
Golf day in aid of Michael Sherriff Trust A golf day in aid of the Michael Sherriff Legacy Trust will take place on Friday 20 April at the Durbanville Golf Club. The trust was founded in 2017 in honour of Michael Sherriff, a 19-year-old Western Province golfer who passed away in a car accident in April last year. His parents, John and Ronel Sherriff, started the trust in honour of his passion and drive as a young golfer. The purpose of the trust is to keep Mich-
ael’s dreams and legacy alive by helping less fortunate and disadvantaged children with sponsorships and mentoring through bursaries. The trust focuses on junior and amateur golf players, supporting those who they believe would be successful as professional golfers. The competition is a four-ball better ball Stableford. The cost is R3500 per four-ball, including dinner. V For more information, email MSLT@eceng.co.za.

Chaos in crescent could soon be over ESMÉ ERASMUS @erasmusesme
raffic relief is in the pipeline for residents of Waterbok Crescent in Goedemoed after suffering “for years” under a “traffic crisis” in their quiet street – caused by motorists and taxi drivers rat-racing through their street during the morning peak hour. Subcouncil 7 accepted a recommendation at its monthly meeting last Monday that Waterbok Crescent be converted into a one-way street – in the opposite direction as the morning peak hour traffic. TygerBurger reported on 21 February (“‘Traffic crisis’ in crescent”) that motorists, especially taxis, use the quiet crescent between 07:00 and 07:45 as a short cut – causing such a high volume of traffic that the residents cannot pull out of their own driveways. The residents’ complaints to the City date back to 16 October 2012 – requesting speed humps to be installed. This request, however, has been turned down twice by the City of Cape Town.
According to irritated residents, they get sworn at by people and endure indecent gestures, hooting and more as they try to get out of their driveways. The issue was discussed by Theresa Uys, councillor for ward 112, and other councillors at the previous monthly subcouncil meeting and postponed to the meeting last Monday for a recommendation. Uys told TygerBurger that although the request is for traffic calming, the option to change Waterbok Crescent into a one-way was considered the best option to solve the problem. “The City must investigate whether a street qualifies for speed humps, which was not the case in this instance,” she said. According to her there is no waiting period, as it is just a matter of putting up signage and some paintwork to change the crescent to a one-way street. “It is possible that the street can be a one-way street by next week already,” she told TygerBurger last Friday.

Concerns over new development DESIRÉE RORKE @dezzierorke
mid a serious lack of adequate road infrastructure, another massive new development is threatening to increase traffic congestion on Brackenfell Boulevard. If approved, this new development will see 136 one- and two-bedroom flats in a five-storey building in Belami Close on the corner of Brackenfell Boulevard and Belami Road in Sonstraal Heights, Durbanville. Local residents who fight their way through a daily stranglehold of traffic are at their wits’ end. They received notification of the proposed development at the end of February, only weeks after the Northern District Community Forum (NDCF) announced their intention to take the City to court over the Andrag development planned diagonally across on the other side of Brackenfell Boulevard. The Andrag development will see a housing complex of 550 new units. Nico Fivaz from the NDCF says there is no way the current road infrastructure can carry the additional traffic that will be created by this apartment building. “The traffic impact study done for the adjacent Andrag development has already shown us that the current traffic congestion
is not to be solved soon. Adding another block of apartments can only exasperate the problem,” he says. Leon Brynard, also from the NDCF, says the particular traffic impact assessment does not give an accurate reflection of the situation as it was done in isolation and over the December period when many people are away on holiday and schools are closed. “It is a complete crisis. “We will have to approach the Western Cape minister of transport, Donald Grant, to intervene. Talks with Sanral will also have to be called to discuss the future of the Brackenfell Boulevard bridge and how it will affect the region’s traffic,” Brynard says. The architecture of the building will also be out of character with the rest of the area, according to Fivaz. “Five storeys on this small piece of land will stick out like a sore thumb in the neighbourhood. “Moreover, an electrical engineer will have to prove that there is sufficient space between the proposed development and the overhead powerlines that run parallel with Brackenfell Boulevard,” says Fivaz. He is also startled that the City would consider high-density developments dur-
ing a water crisis. “The adjacent homeowners had a meeting and are busy drawing up objections that have to be submitted by 4 April.
“They also contacted the NDCF to coordinate with us.” V What is your opinion on this article? Let us know at briewe@tygerburger.co.za.
Water truck takes its fill from fire hydrant ESMÉ ERASMUS @erasmusesme
water truck filling up with potable water from a fire hydrant in Bowlers Avenue, Durbanville, for road construction has a resident worried. “This truck comes at least twice a day and fills up with at least 7000 litres of drinking water each trip,” he says. He says he followed the truck to the construction site of a new office block. “I know that you cannot build a road without water, but why don’t they use recycled or greywater? Construction is progress, and is needed by our economy, but it still hurts to see a truck filling up with 7000 litres (actual capacity) of drinking water a few times a
day. “Secondly, how does this company pay the City of Cape Town for this water? There is no meter and they take roughly 20 000 litres a day,” he complained to TygerBurger. “As I could not get access to the building site, I cannot say if the water was used on the roads within that new complex – or for general construction. In my view general construction would not require such vast amounts of water. So it seems to be for road construction within that new office complex. This is wrong, as recycled water should be used for roadworks. Xanthea Limberg, Mayco member for informal settlements, water and waste services and energy, says taking water from fire hydrants may only be done by way of a me-
tered standpipe, which is issued on application to the Water and Sanitation Management Department. “The water meter built into the standpipe is quite visible, so residents who observe this practice can check whether a standpipe is metered or not. “Contractors are, however, encouraged to explore whether they could offset their potable water use using treated effluent in their processes,” she says. To apply for access to treated effluent, contact the City by sending an email to treated.effluent@capetown.gov.za, she advises. “Contractors are able to draw as much water as is required; however, like the rest of our consumers, they will be charged at Level 6 tariffs to deter waste.
“Construction sites must also abide by applicable water restrictions, including: . No person may, without prior written authority from the director of the Water and Sanitation Management Department, hose down a hard-surfaced or paved area using water from a potable source. . Drinking water may not be used to dampen building sand or other building material to prevent it from being blown away. “Using drinking water for the mixing of cement is allowed, as using treated effluent and borehole water does not produce concrete of sufficient structural quality. “Anyone who observes a contravention should report it to water@capetown.gov.za, providing evidence of the contravention if possible.”
CTIA best airport in Africa Cape Town International Airport (CTIA) has once again won the prestigious award for best airport in Africa. The announcement was made at the Skytrax World Airport Awards held in Stockholm, Sweden on Wednesday. This is the third consecutive year that Cape Town has won this award, often referred to as the “Oscars of the aviation industry”. The airport was also ranked number 21 in the top 100 airports in the awards, amid excellent competition such as Sydney, Copenhagen, Brisbane and Dubai. Western Cape minister of economic opportunities, Alan Winde, says: “The fact that these awards are voted for by thousands of travellers who have experienced what CTIA has to offer makes this award so much more special.” Winde says the award will boost the efforts of the Cape Town Air Access team,
which has already notched up some major new routes and route expansions into CTIA, helping to grow the tourism and hospitality industry in the Western Cape. The Skytrax Awards ask travellers to rank their experiences of airports based on categories such as check-in, arrivals, shopping, immigration and transfers. “This is proof that travellers are offered a world-class service from the moment they set foot off the plane in Cape Town. This is testament to the hard work of the staff and management at the airport, who work hard every day to ensure travellers are treated with respect and care,” says Winde. Wesgro CEO Tim Harris says: “On behalf of the Cape Town Air Access initiative, I would like to extend our congratulations to CTIA for this major achievement. Having the best airport in Africa helps position Cape Town and the Western Cape as a world-class business destination.”

end regularly being accepted.” There is, says Alexander, no point on, say, a typical R2 million home sale of achieving a R40,000 cut on commission if the final sales price is anything from R100,000 to R200,000 lower than what a motivated, r e p u t a b l e t ra d i t i o n a l a g e n c y, advertising widely in a variety of media, bringing a succession of buyers to the home and holding show days in it would achieve.
“I am regularly confronted with such statements as, ‘UK agents charge well under 4%. How do you justify your 7,5% charge?’
However, says Alexander, by far the most important reason for using a traditional agency, one that is often overlooked by those debating this issue, is that the low key agencies relying only on Internet publicity and operating without agents have been shown again and again to be incapable of getting the best possible sales price, whereas traditional agencies, especially those operating on a sole mandate basis which gives them complete control of the sale process, will set a genuine, high market-related price and will often achieve it or a price or close to it. In his agency, he says, in the last two months 90% of the sales took place within 3% of the asking price.
“It is this ability to achieve satisfactory, true market prices that is the strongest weapon in the traditional agency’s armoury and we must do everything we can to ensure that the public understands this,” says Alexander.
What is sometimes not realized by those making these statements is that UK agencies almost invariably make the seller pay for his advertisements in full. All they do is to handle, compile and place the advertisement for him
“By way of contrast, many reports we get from those who have gone the online route, often having to handle the buyers themselves, indicate that the number of enquiries is limited and discounts of 10% to 15% are in the

eps MMA Club in Edward Street, Bellville is reaping the rewards of their hard work and commitment, and their
results are proof thereof. The club has achieved great results in the last three weeks with several medals won at competitions. The juniors, aged between eight and 14, of the Brazilian jiu-jitsu team
competed and won four silver and two bronze medals in the Alpha Grappling competition held in Stellenbosch. First degree black belt and head trainer, Rico Hattingh, is at the forefront of coaching the juniors and seniors with great success. Reps MMA is also the headquarters of the well-known Rio Grappling Club. “We graded the children at the club to their respective new levels in Brazilian jiujitsu and they thoroughly enjoy their training. Mixed martial arts and Brazilian jiu-jitsu are an excellent way for children to channel their energy and build the right confidence and control to handle all areas of their lives, especially with the severe bullying going around,” says Hattingh. He also runs a BullyStop programme at various schools in and around Cape Town. Their third achievement shows the calibre of fighters, as they won three out of three fights in the Western Province Fight League (WPFL) Championships held in Diep River. Although the club is in Bellville, the students hail from various areas including Kuils River, Brackenfell, Durbanville and Monte Vista.
