‘Iemand wou my seun vermoor’
RIE skote, koeëls wat in die deur
vasslaan, die geluid van ’n persoon
wat weghardloop en bande wat
skreeu op die teer . . .
Volgens Du Randt het niemand gesien wat
gebeur het nie.
Die is nie die eerste voorval nie. Volgens Du
Randt het kwaaddoeners in Maart vanjaar
hul huis met vrot eiers en klippe gegooi. “Toe

Dít het ’n 15-jarige leerder van die Hoërskool Nico Malan se vreedsame bestaan binne
sekondes aan skerwe laat spat tydens ’n vermoedelike aanslag op sy lewe. Hy is so geskok,
dat hy nou traumabehandeling moet ondergaan.
Volgens die seun se pa, Etienne du Randt,
is hy oortuig daarvan dat iemand probeer het
om sy seun te vermoor. “Dit is nie net kwaaddoeners wat verby gery en vir die pret
daarvan op ons huis geskiet het nie,” sê hy.
“Volgens die polisie-ondersoek het die verantwoordelike persoon uit sy voertuig geklim, tot by ’n boom ’n paar meter weg van die
huis geloop, gemik en op die deur geskiet. Hy
of sy moes my seun gesien het wat skaars ’n
halwe tree van die deur op die rusbank gesit
en TV kyk het.”
Aldus Du Randt, van Rina van der Merwe
Laan 21 in Wavecrest, het die voorval omstreeks 20:30 op Vrydagaand plaasgevind.
“Ek en my vrou was besig in die studeerkamer toe ons seun skielik daar ingehardloop kom en sê dat daar so pas op hom
geskiet is,” vertel Du Randt.
“Ek het uitgehardloop om te sien wie dit is,
maar hulle was reeds weg. Ons het dadelik die
“Twee van die skote, vermoedelik uit ’n
gaspistool, het in die glas van die deur vasgeslaan terwyl ’n derde skoot die deurraam getref het. As dit nie vir die veiligheidsglas was
nie, sou die skote my seun in die kop getref

aan te keer. Ek moet hom beskerm,” sê hy.

kwaadwillige saakbeskadiging geopen.

gekla oor vrot waterpype
’n Vuisvoos waterpyp het nou die soveelste
keer in Waterkantstraat, Wavecrest gebars
en derduisende liters skoon water straat-af
Dít, onderwyl omgekrapte inwoners vir ure
sonder ’n druppel water moes klaarkom.
Volgens inwners is die waterpyp so klaar
dat dit kort-kort gebeur dat hierdie kosbare
kommoditeit weens ’n gebrek aan instandhouding vermors word.
“Die pyp het al meer as 30 keer in die afgelope drie maande
gebars. En elke

“Wanneer die pyp bars, klink dit kompleet

so hoog dat dit die pad oplig. As daar nie

Volgens die inwoner bestaan die hele 2km

G4S stops criminals in their tracks
THE swift actions of two security guards from
G4S stopped a criminal in his tracks minutes
after he robbed a man at knife point.
According to a.o Petra Els the incident occurred at approximately 11:25 on Thursday.
“The victim was walking along the Aston Bay
Road in the direction of Lootspark when two
unknown men attacked him with a knife and
robbed him from his cellphone and cash. The
victim managed to escape with two minor cuts
on his hand and throat respectively.
“The suspects ran away in the direction of
Bantu Holomisa Street. The victim managed
to get the attention of two G4S security guards
who were patrolling the area.”
Wilfred Sibagu pursued the suspect on foot
while Abie Tony went around the block to cut
the suspect off.
They managed to arrest the one suspect and
recover the stolen goods. The 25-year-old suspect from Pellsrus was detained at the police
station and a case of robbery was opened.
The police are still looking for the second
“The Jeffreys Bay Police would like to congratulate G4S for their arrest,” said Els. “We
also thank all the other security companies
for their continuous assistance. We are privileged to have an excellent working relationship with each one of them.”
BEKENDE INWONER STERF IN ONGELUK
Jakkie Cloete (67) van Jeffreysbaai, ’n meesterbouer, is
vroeër die week in ’n motorongeluk tussen Graaff­Rei­
net en Jansenville oorlede. Hy word oorleef deur sy
vrou Antionette en twee kinders, Marisa en Petrus. Die

Public toilets out of order due to
THE public toilets opposite the museum in Bureau Street
could win an award - as the worst toilets in Humansdorp,
an irate resident claims.
This accolade is the result of wanton vandalism, says
Henk Boland. “The appalling conditions are beyond a
joke and the toilets are an absolute disgrace. It reflects
very badly on the town.”
Windows are broken, toilet bowls and cisterns are
smashed and fixtures and fittings are pulled from the
walls. Rubbish is also strewn all over the place.
“This type of vandalism is senseless and brainless.
Ratepayers are having to fork out for mindless idiots,”
“Something needs to be done about the problem as the
summer approaches and numerous buses and tourists
will travel through the town.”
Raccinne Khan, chairperson of the Humansdorp Tourism Office, says: “Disgusting is putting is mildly. I was
always so ashamed at the state of that part of the area
in Humansdorp. No human being can stand the terrible
stench of rubbish mixed with human excrement. Municipal officials involved should be put to the test to make
use of that facility - just for one unbearable minute.
“It is so tragic. You will not even find a stray dog sleeping in and among that dump.”
According to municipal spokesperson, Mfundo Sobele,
this is due to a serious shortness of cleaning staff.
“The public toilets belong to the municipality and are
maintained by the Department of Cleansing and Parks,”
“The challenge is, on top of having only two staff members that are responsible for the cleaning of the three pub-
lic toilet facilities in Humansdorp, the taxi rank is not
occupied at the moment. Unlike the taxi rank next to the
Cultural Centre, which has taxi operators and their management present who look after the property, the taxi
rank near the museum is vulnerable.
“Because we only have two staff members, the focus
tends to be where the facilities are optimally used.”

Unblocking of housing projects will help
minimise informal settlements
“IT is disappointing that the Kouga Council
was not given the opportunity to respond to
the election propaganda released by the DA
This is according to Kouga mayor Booi
Koerat in response to articles published in
various newspapers with regard to the poor
sanitation in Kouga.
“It is, for example, not true that four children
have drowned at the KwaNomzamo sewerage
treatment plant. While we are grateful that the
Kouga Express picked up on this serious error
and rectified it, the same cannot be said for
other papers which published this misinformation as if it were fact,” said Koerat.
“Informal settlements are a reality across
our country. It is also a challenge in Kouga,
especially because of the tremendous influx
of job seekers. The Census 2011 shows that
Kouga has the highest population growth rate
in the Eastern Cape. The population increased from 71 390 (2001) to 98 588 (2011), with
a growth rate of 3,2% compared to the 0,4%
growth rate of the province as a whole.”
According to Koerat, the municipality constantly has to balance this demand with the
need to maintain and improve basic services
to established residents.
“I can give residents the assurance that
Kouga will not back down from this challenge.
The Census 2011 shows that the vast majority
of local households already have access to basic services. Basic services such as water and
sanitation are also offered free to informal
communities such as Pola Park and Shukushukuma,” said Koerat. “Communal taps and
the bucket system may not be ideal, but they
are merely interim measures. The process of
formalising these areas has already started.”
A total of 313 erven are being plotted out in
Polla Park and Shukushukuma so that fullyserviced houses may be built for these communities. Those who cannot be accommodated
there will be eligible for houses in other areas.
Almost 9 000 houses have been approved for
low-income families in our area. Our first priority is putting in place the necessary bulk
infrastructure so that residents won’t have to
struggle for water, sanitation or electricity in
“The total required to address bulk infrastructure backlogs in our previously disadvantaged communities is R480-million. This backlog is not unique to Kouga. It is a reality in all
municipalities because of the skewed development that took place pre-1994,” said Koerat.
“This backlog cannot be rectified overnight, but Government has been addressing
it steadily. R62-million has been made available in this financial year towards eliminating
the backlog in Kouga and will pave the way
for 5 000 houses to be built.
“There are also ongoing discussions between the municipality, provincial and national government to secure additional funding to eliminate the remaining backlog.”

GREEN is the new black - at least at the trashiest fashion show in
town that is back for its second year.
Unleash your imagination and start creating the most unusual and
beautiful garments ever seen. Why not make a ball gown from cans,
a dress featuring coffee filters or display your love of music by sewing
together pages of piano sheet music? Or make an outfit using paper
plates, wrapping paper, paper sacks, duct tape or recyclable trash bags.
Global Leadership Academy (GLA), in conjunction with Fountains
Mall, is set to host the second Recycled Fashion Show next month.
There will be popcorn, sweets and drinks for sale before the show,
just like in a real movie theatre.
The show is aimed at encouraging youth and adults of all ages to
get creative and construct outfits made entirely from recyclable materials for a chance to win great prizes.
All fashion show entries may contain only recyclable material such
as tin, cans, metal, plastics and paper.
Businesses and individuals in and around Jeffreys Bay can sponsor
or enter a dress at a cost of R300 each. Companies that enter an outfit,
will have the opportunity to put up advertising material or hand out
flyers at the fashion show.
After the fashion show the public will have the chance to vote for
their favourite dress. Votes can be placed in a ballot box and will be
counted by an independent person with the winner being announced
in the Kouga Express on September 19.
The fashion show will take place at the old Fountains Mall cinema
on September 13 from 18:00 and on September 14 from 09:00 to 12:00.
Apart from the fashion show there will be a night market on the
Friday from 18:00. Stall holders are welcome at a cost of R70 for adults
and R30 for children. The items sold at the market must be handmade.
No food stalls, except for pancakes and cupcakes, will be allowed.
There will also be a cash for junk competition, second-hand clothes
sale, a kids recycling competition and lots of fun activities for the children with nice prizes up for grabs. Funky Frogs will be open for the
evening to keep the little ones busy while their parents are enjoying

VICTORY Gap Year students are once again
set to host their annual Love Feast on October 17 for the underprivileged children in the
Tokyo Sexwale informal settlement.
According to Stephen Tearoe, the feast will
consist of an afternoon of blessing upon the
lives of these children.
“We will strive to show them the bigger
dream than the four walls of the informal
township they are living in.”
However, to make a success of the event,
they are in dire need of donations from businesses and individuals. All money raised
will go towards the event and any excess
money will be allocated to Victory4All.

ments spot on.
Andrew Mboyi is currently studying architecture at Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University in Port Elizabeth. He says Edge aimed
to successfully marry sustainability with a
timeless design. “Embracing the digital age
and utilising digital systems to monitor,
manage and create a general awareness on
water usage was also a big factor in the design. The iconic Michael Jackson ‘lean’ came

Both first prize winners for this competition are currently living in PE and beat off
numerous entries from all over the country.
Winners Andrew Mboyi for Edge in the student designer category and Leigh Mclaren
for Ceramic Lace in the professional/other
category both were awarded R30 000.
Ramielle de Jager, Cobra Product Manager, says the standard of entries exceeded expectations, with designers really taking the
brief to heart.
“Andrew’s electronic Edge met the brief
perfectly. Although electronic taps aren’t
new, they’re mostly designed for and used
in commercial buildings. Yet it is in residential homes where they could be most beneficial in terms of saving energy and water.
That’s what made Edge so brilliant – it was
designed with the homeowner in mind.In
the professional category, Leigh’s Ceramic
Lace was undeniably innovative and an unexpected design concept as far as the aesthetic went. It was very different from Edge, but Andrew Mboyi accepting his cheque from Peter

pect to the overall dimension,” Mboyi says.
Leigh Mclaren is a candidate architect at
b4 Architects in Port Elizabeth, and passionate about design. “Apart from ecological
awareness, my mixer, Ceramic Lace, was inspired by ceramic as a material,” says
Mclaren. “Ceramic is at the forefront of bathroom design, but it also has its roots in South
African art. This allows the mixer to be more
than just a functional element, and representative of its time and place.”
hlidanthus – tthe
WHAT is it with the spring season that gets us all excited?
Yes, there’s that element of new life and the prospect
of new beginnings, but there’s also a wonderful sensory
appreciation for nature – new blossoms, their scents, their
beautiful prettiness and their promise of soon-to-grow
fruit. As floral themes pop up everywhere – from fabric
ranges to school projects – you may want to join in the
flower-power brigade by planting bulbs that love flowering in September and October when spring is at its peak.
Chlidanthus, with their incredibly sweet, citrusy fragrance, should be your first port of call when choosing
a bulb to really make you feel like spring has sprung.
Known as the perfumed fairy lily, C. fragrans is the species available to gardeners (it’s also known as the Peruvian daffodil for its origin in the Peruvian Andes), a species
guaranteed to fill your home with the exhilarating aroma
C. fragrans’ funnel-shaped yellow flowers
are a striking little collection of petals, 10cm
in diameter, on 20cm long spikes. Because
the flowers appear before the leaves there’s
nothing for them to hide behind – just bloom
after bloom, about three or four on a stem.
The Greek word from which Chlidanthus is
derived – chlide, meaning opulence – is indicative of the strong statement these
blooms can make.
For your own garden of opulence, plant
these bulbs (which should be for sale in August and September) in an area of full sun
to semi shade, 4cm below the ground, and
8cm apart from one another, in friable soil
containing nutritious, old compost. This
should be done in early spring (September
and October) for best results.
If planting directly in the garden, consider lining a
walkway with these plants so that the scent carries you
along your walk, or on a terrace at eye level so that you’re
instantly hit by the scent as you pass by. Alternatively,
pots are a great way to carry the scent indoors when the
flowers begin to bloom. What’s more, indoors you have
less chance of these plants being pestered by the snails
and slugs that love attaching themselves to Chlidanthus.
The bulbs will go into a dormant state between April
and June, so if you wish to lift them, do so at the end
of this period, in the month of June. Offsets should be
kept for planting, although patience may be required
with these, as they usually take three years to flower.
The same patience may be necessary when waiting for
winter to end so that you can start planting your favourite sweet-smelling yellow petals.

‘Rapporteer asseblief die waarheid’
IN die berig Karavaanpark ‘n gesondheidsprobleem in Kouga Express van 22 Augustus 2013 maak die munisipale woordvoerder, Laura-Leigh Randall, die opmerking dat
die “pompe by die Kabeljous Karavaanpark
onlangs probleme gegee het, maar die munisipaliteit het dit herstel en die gemors rondom
die karavaanpark skoongemaak”.
Ek het reeds by ’n vorige geleentheid vir
Laura-Leigh Randall daarop gewys dat sy asseblief die waarheid in die pers moet rapporteer. Hierdie is weer ‘n geval waar die waarheid geweld aangedoen word.
Ek en Laurika Nieuwenhuis was Maandag,
19 Augustus 2013 om 11:00 persoonlik by die
karavaanpark. In daardie stadium het een
van die pompe nie gewerk nie, noodsaaklike
onderdele het sigbaar makeer en “was na die
werkswinkel geneem vir herstelwerk” volgens een van die munisipale werkers wat
daar was. Volgens hom het die ander pomp
ook ‘n tyd gestaan, omdat dit oorverhit was;
vandaar die storting.
Tydens ons besoek aan die karavaanpark
het riool nog steeds die park binnegevloei;
daarvan het ons bewys deur middel van foto’s. As die munisipaliteit die gemors
opgeruim het, waarom was riool nog steeds
sigbaar om en in die saal en het die reuk van
rou riool nog steeds swaar in die lug gehang?
Waarom het rioolwater nog steeds tot in die
see gevloei? Ook van die feite, het ons fotostatiese bewyse.
Sy probeer verniet die onus op die huidige
eienaars van die karavaanpark plaas. Toegegee, hulle het ‘n verantwoordelikheid, maar
as die rioolstortings nie plaasvind nie, sal
daar nie ‘n probleem wees nie.
Die munisipaliteit moet ophou om altyd
hulle verantwoordelikheid op ander af te
skuif en begin om die dienste te lewer waarvoor die inwoners maandeliks deur hul
nekke moet betaal.

CARS rushing, babies crying, waves crashing, dogs barking and an owner’s constant issuing of commands to “Walk on”.
Just imagine you are the one listening to
all of these things at the same time. Then imagine those sounds have been amplified
many times louder than what you as a human being are used to. Add to this a sense
of smell so keen that a walk down the street
encountering people, dogs and cars is like
walking into a fragrance shop and being spritzed from head to toe by all the sales ladies
Wouldn’t you just rather go home when being exposed to this than deal with the drama
and overstimulation of your senses?
This and so much more goes on in our dog’s
world each and every day. Some dogs deal
better with this overstimulation than others. For dogs that have been socialised from
a young age, these sights, sounds and smells
can be a very pleasant experience signalling yet another new adventure just waiting
to happen. For dogs that have not been socialised from a young age this could represent the most frightening experience of
What is socialisation and how do I socialise
my dog? Socialisation means training your
dog to accept new people, animals, and places.
First, establish a strong bond between you
and your dog at home. It is very important
for the dog to be able to trust you enough to
know that you will never place it in harm’s
way and to look to you if unsure of a situation.
Once you have a relationship of mutual respect and your role as compassionate leader
is clear then you and your dog can go out and
Start by introducing your dog to strangers.
Tell him to sit and when someone comes up
to greet him, give him a treat so that he starts
to associate the meeting with a positive experience.
Make sure you introduce your dog to nonthreatening and ordinary dressed individuals first. When he is comfortable with them,
move on to elderly people with walking aids,
kids, people wearing hats, glasses or carrying
Take your dog out to all kinds of different
places. Always treat your dog when it displays a behaviour that you would like to be
enforced in future.
Even non-routine stops at the vet’s would
also be beneficial. Whenever you drive or
walk past the vet, pop in and let the receptionist greet and treat your dog. This will greatly
enhance the veterinary visit experience for
Whenever you meet other dogs and they
are displaying non-threatening behaviour,
allow your dog to interact, sniff or even growl
at the dog. It is their means of communication
and an exchange must take place between
dogs to acknowledge each other or express
personal space boundaries. Once an appropriate exchange of sniffs has happened, treat
your dog and reinforce this positive experience by praising your dog. It is also ideal to
bring your dog to a dog daycare facility or dog
play park like the one we have in Jeffreys
Bay. Dogs really enjoy their canine friends
and learn much more from their own species
than what we alone can teach them.
Remember, it is a scary but very exciting
world out there for your dog, so try to make
every experience for him as pleasant as possible.

We test the Nissan Qashqai+2
THE Qashqai is quite a tongue-twister to pronounce, but when Nissan decided to bring it
out as a seven-seater they, fortunately, kept
the naming simple and just added +2 to it.
And apart from the extra two seats which
result in the Qashqai +2 being a bit longer,
the +2 is very similar in looks to the 5-seater
Qashqai. The Qashqai+2 offers all the styling
and intelligence of Qashqai, with the additional versatility of the seven-seat configuration.
A Google search on the meaning of the word
Qashqai (pronounced kas-kaai) revealed that
it is named after an Iranian tribe of nomads.
Being a big fan of any vehicle remotely looking like an SUV, not to mention one with seven seats, the Qashqai+2 set my Mom’s taxi
tickboxes in overdrive - to such an extent that
I decided to let the non-existent nomad in me
come out for the day and take to the long road,
even if for just a day’s outing to Jeffreys Bay
Did I mention it has seven seats - two rows
of seats - do you know how handy that is when
you have two children - one a teenager and
the other nine going on 30. An extra row of
seats can be as effective as the Berlin wall in
keeping warring parties apart, and while the
back row is way too small for any normally
built adults to sit comfortably in for longer
than two minutes, if at all, it is perfect for any
little person under the age of 12.
The middle row of seats also has a beautifully curved design, accentuated by the armrest
So while the children each busied themselves in their row of seats, I enjoyed the drive
on the open road, in my favourite high seating
position, with all the controls I needed for the
sound system on the steeringwheel at my fingertips. That’s anyway how it was until about
10km outside Port Elizabeth when my teenager discovered she could play music through
her phone over the sound system.
The Quashqai+2 is available in two models,
i.e. the lower spec 1.6l and the more powerful
One wouldn’t think that this car houses 7
seats. It looks compact, and hardly bigger
than a sedan, but with curves in all the right
places to give it a SUV look.
The Qashqai+2 also comes standard with
sporty brushed metal roof rails and privacy
The comfortable interior is enhanced by very
handy storage compartments, like the compact second row armrest that converts into a
storage box for the third row passengers and
the cargo carrier in the boot.
The Nissan Qashqai+2 offers an impressing
variety of seating and cargo combinations,
with the second and third rows of seat which
can be folded down separately, all together or
organised by zone.
The two front seatbacks have expandable
pockets, giving the second row of passengers
a good amount of space for magazines, games
or CD’s or whatever else they like to take with
The under seat drawer in the higher spec
Accenta model hides away items like a camera or MP3 player.
With the commanding high driving position
and increased visibility you are sure to feel
completely in control. Due to its clever design
and layout it also has a compact feel inside
without being cramped. Everything is within
The steering wheel feels good under the fingers. This vehicle was perfect for the mom’s
taxi route on my daily commute. Out on the
open road, it can be driven with confidence
as it feels sturdy on the road with good power
for overtaking. It looks like an SUV but drives
and parks like a sedan.
The road handling is excellent. The suspen-
sion is neither too soft nor too hard, but just
right on the long journey as well as the speedbumps of the urban communte.

Crossways to host Rhino Run
THE Crossways Farm Village will host a Rhino Run at Crossways Farm Village development on September 22, World Rhino Day.
The run - consisting of 6km, 12km and 20km
- forms part of a national trail running event
which was inspired by a terribly sad poaching event which occurred at Kariege Game
Reserve in 2012.
This year there will be 7 Rhino Runs across
South Africa to be held in Cape Town, Port
Elizabeth, Kenton, East London, Bloemfontein, Gauteng and Durban. All 7 runs will be
held on the same day, making this the largest
trail running event in South Africa.
The Rhino Run is the brainchild of Sian
O’Keeffe, a Port Elizabethan trail runner and
now partner in the event company Free Spirit
Adventures. But it could not have been
brought to life without the efforts of the various event organisers around South Africa
who gave of their time and energy to make
