10 Oktober, 2013Fun in the holiday sun
The Kind Games is a holiday programme held during the school holidays.
Langebaan Country Estate, together with various
other roleplayers, decided to
do this again during the September holidays.
Children tend to lose focus
during the holidays, so they
frequently end up exposed to
peer pressure and poor decision making. Keep them busy
with educational and physical activities and they will
stay out of trouble while having fun.
On 25 September 365 children from Langebaan participated in the Kind Games. The
weather was lovely and the
children had a great time in
the sun and also enjoyed a
sponsored lunch. Anyone
who would like to sponsor theThe children loved the

10 Oktober, 2013Tiener kry stamselle by broer
’n Pragtige jong meisie kuier heerlik saam met haar
maats by Curro se matriekafskeid in Langebaan.
Diegene wat nie vir Minhet
Lauwrens (18) ken nie, sou
nooit kon sê dié vrolike, oënskynlik blakende gesonde tiener in die mooi rooi rok voer
’n stryd teen akute limfoblastiese leukemie nie. Ten spyte
van die feit dat sy die helfte
van haar skooljaar in die hospitaal en by die huis was, het
sy nie dat haar siekte in haar
pad staan om haar matriekafskeid by te woon nie. Met haar
elegante rok en pragtige donkerbruin pruik wat haar nuwe uitgegroeide borselkophaartjies bedek, het sy behoorlik die asems by die
Minhet was net ’n paar
maande gelede só siek dat syin die hoësorgeenheid van die
Mediclinic Constantiaberg in
Kaapstad beland het. Sy was
baie swak en ondergewig en
’n virus het veroorsaak dat sy
septiese skok opgedoen het.
Terwyl sy chemoterapie ontvang het, was die hospitaal
haar tweede huis en die
Lauwrense se hele gesinslewe omvergewerp.
Tog het Minhet nooit moed
verloor nie. “Ek het positief
gebly en nie eintlik getwyfel
dat ek aan die ander kant sal
Haar laagtepunt was toe sy
besef sy sal nie haar matriekjaar kan voltooi nie. Groot
was die gesin se verligting toe
Minhet se ouer broer, Eric
(21) as geskikte skenker van
beenmurg-stamselle geïdentifiseer is. Volgens Minhet is
daar net ’n 20%-kans dat ’n
broer of suster ’n geskikte
skenker sal wees. Sy voel baie
bevoorreg dat sy so vinnig ’nskenker gekry het en haar
broer is meer as bereid om
Die opwinding van die matriekafskeid is verby en Minhet is besig om haarself sielkundig voor te berei vir die
laaste moeilike pylvak in
haar reis na genesing.
Sy sal Sondag 6 Oktober
weer ’n week se chemoterapie
kry, waarna sy twee dae sal
rus. Eric se stamselle sal 14
Oktober getrek word en Minhet sal die stamselskenking
op 16 Oktober ontvang. Daarna sal haar herstel ’n paar
maande duur, maar sy hoop
om in 2014 heeltemal gesond
te wees en haar matriekjaar
oor te doen.
Sy wil graag ná skool BCom

mense wat hulle deur hierdie
moeilike tyd ondersteun het.Minhet in Mei 2013 kort na­
dat ’n virus haar in die hoës­

Die Saldanhabaai Tafelronde was die ander welsynsorganisasie wat ’n stalletjie gehad het. Plaaslike mense is betrek om
skoonmaak- en sekerheidsdienste by die fees te verskaf.
Suzanne Retzke, produksiebestuurder by Frontline Productions (wat die fees gereël het), het geskat daar was maklik 2 500
mense Saterdag by die fees gewees.
“Ek dink mense het dit gate uit geniet en daar het ’n baie
gemoedelike atmosfeer geheers.”
Daar was geen ongewenste voorvalle nie, het sy gesê.
Jannie Joubert van die Paarl het gesê hulle het spesiaal deur-gery vir die fees en dink dit was fantasties.
Die gasvryheidsbedryf het ook ’n goeie naweek gehad.
Dave Osborn, bestuurder by die Saldanhabaai-toerismeorganisasie (SBTO), het gesê dit was ’n besige naweek vir Langebaan en die hele gebied. Daar was baie besprekings by die gastehuise en die Bravofees het beslis hierin ’n rol gespeel.
Mykonos Casino gaan volgende jaar weer die Bravofees aanbied, het Natasha Brand, bemarkingsbestuurder, gesê.

10 Oktober, 2013Appeal Board will sit in November
The Langebaan Ratepayers’ and Residents’ Association (LRRA) is pleased to
Property Rates Process:
The LRRA again had to point
out to the Saldanha Bay Municipality that it was in contravention of the law on procedures prescribed by the Local Government Municipal
Property Rate Act. The LRRA
recently inquired when the
long-awaited notice would appear on the Property Rates
Appeal Board and was told it
would sit from 25 to 28 September. At that time, no notice had been given to the appellants. The LRRA approached the Provincial
Department dealing with the
matter and was referred back
to the municipality. The
Rate’s Act states that the municipal manager must submit
all appeals to the AppealBoard within 14 days of their
receipt and the board must
then hear the appeals within
60 days of receiving the appeals. The appeals were delivered to the municipal manager on 28 April, meaning they
had to be heard before 12 July.
We were notified that the
board sittings will be from 18
to 21 November, which is four
months late. The financial implications can be severe as the
Act clearly states that the inflated taxes must be paid unless and until the Appeal
Board rules in the applicants’
favour. I am aware of various
ratepayers who struggle to
cope with this extra burden.
The LRRA also had to intervene in 2008 when the municipality failed to stick to the letter of the Property Rates
Act.They acquired a condonation from the MEC in 2008 and
recently had to do the same.
We have reason to believe the21 day notices to
appear at the appeals board were

2008 with no response. We also had the odd public representative on site with even
less response. The structural
integrity of the steps is now
so eroded that they pose a serious safety risk and the main
sewer line is behind and
underneath the stairs. The
LRRA were told last Monday
that engineers were appoint-ed to fix a small portion of the
problem at a cost of R1,95 million. On the question of which
construction design alternative was decided on, it became
clear the municipality has
embarked on a process that
will require an assessment by
appointing engineers without taking into consideration
the results of the processes already conducted by environmental specialists. The LRRA
feels strongly that the structural design must be user

Aloha uit Hawai’i! Ek sit
hier op die Pinetree-strand
naby die kusdorpie Kona,
Hawaii. ’n Besorgde pa sit
met sy klein blondekop
seuntjie op sy branderplank en eet sy tortilla-skyfies.
Sodra hulle klaar geëet het,
dra die pa sy board en sy seuntjie se boogie-board in die water in. Dis duidelik dat die
seuntjie nog skrikkerig vir
die water is. Wat doen die pa?
Hy gaan sit sy eie branderplank op die strand neer en
gee al sy aandag aan die kind.
Hy sit die seuntjie op die
plank, wag vir die golf om te
kom en laat die seuntjie dit
uitry tot op die strand.
Keer op keer help die pa syaspirant boogieboard-ryer.
Totdat die seuntjie in Amerikaans skree: “Dad it is okay,
Toe is dit tyd vir die pa om
sy eie branderplank op te tel

rugkant na my, hul silhoeëtte
afgeëts teen die pienk Hawai’ise son.

glashelder in my geestesoog
en laat my na Langebaan verlang. Nie omdat ek noodwendig daar baie branderplankryers sien uitgaan nie, maar
die pappas wat hul kinders
van doeke af gewoond maak
aan die water.
Ek het kom kuier vir my
vriendin, Cecilia, wat oorspronklik van Jacobsbaai afkomstig is, en byna nege jaar
hier op die Hawai’ise eiland
in die Stille Oseaan by ’n per-lemoenplaas werk. Sy het vir
byna tien jaar lank al haar
toewyding en aandag vir haar
perlemoenbabas op Jacobsbaai gegee, waarna ’n geleentheid hier op die horison verskyn het.
Deurentyd gesels ons oor
hoe die eiland van Hawai’i
ons aan die Weskus en SuidAfrika herinner. Die groot eiland (Big Island) waar sy

Japanese, Filippyne, Thaimense, Sjinese en vele meer.
