THREE FIND LOADEDGUN INBROADLANDSROAD

Boy (8)killed ingungameDELIAH BRINKHUIS

Three boys found a gun on the roadand took ithome toplaywith.Withinminutes, one of them was dead.

The 11-year-old boy and his nine-year-old friend from Broadlands Village,Strand, are receiving counselling froma psychologist, while eight-year-oldZephwin Mentoor, who was in Grade 2at Rusthof Primary, will be buried thisSaturday.The11-year-oldwill appear incourt to-

day (Thursday) on a charge of murderafter the tragedy that played itself outin Daisy Street on Monday afternoon.Constable Mbulelo Mafuna, spokes-

person for Strand police, says the gun

involved, a 9mm PX4 gun, is similar toa police gun.The boys allegedly found the gun

wrapped in two Shoprite bags in Broad-lands Road. It had apparently been re-ported stolen.They took it to the 11-year-old’s home, where they then apparentlyremoved bullets out of the magazine.The boy’s sister, 29, was in her bed-

room when she heard a loud bang at15:00. “I told a friend the children werethrowing stones on the roof again andasked him to have a look,” she says.She then saw her brother and two

friends running from the house. Two ofthe boys ran towards the street, but theeight-year-old collapsed.“Zebbie came running towards me,

but turned around and collapsed under

the washing line,” she said. She rushedto him and was joined by neighbours,who tried to resuscitate him.“We did not know he’d been shot. The

neighbour applied CPR and we hung ablanket over the washing line forshade.”It was only when a paramedic moved

the boy half an hour later and bulletswere found under his body that they re-alised that he had been shot.“His handwas clenched andwhen the

ambulance man moved him, three bul-lets were found under him,” she said.The 11-year-old was questioned by po-

lice on Monday and released into thecare of his sister.

Skoolhoof sit voetneeroor taxi’sDELIAH BRINKHUIS

Leerders wat laat in oorvol taxi’s by dieskool opdaag is ’n groot kopseer vir dieHoërskool Gordon.

Volgens skoolhoof Bernard Simons is diévandiedaaglikseproblemewaarmeehywor-stel.Simons voer aan dat die problememet die

taxi’s reeds verskeie kere by die RusthofAmalgamatedTaxiAssociation (RATA) aan-gemeld is.’n Onderwyser het ’n paar jaar gelede ’n

saak by die polisie aanhangig gemaak nadat’n taxi-bestuurder haar na bewering gevloekhet toe sy hom aangespreek het oor sy taxidie ingang na die skool versper het.Simonshethomook tot diewetstoepassers

gewendengereeldepatrolliesbydie skoolge-had.Volgens Simons het polisie-optrede teen

die taxi’s ook ’n vuurwapen in ’n taxi opgele-wer, sê hy.Simons sit egter tans met sy hande in sy

hare omdat daar nog geen oplossing gevindis nie.VolgensSimonswordheelwatleerdersvan-

uit gebiede soosMacassaren Strand met gekontrak-teerde taxi’s wat deur hulouers gereël is, na en vandie skool vervoer. Hy wysegter die Strandse “pad-taxi’s”uit asdie skuldigeswatniedieskool- ofpadre-els gehoorsaam nie en soms tot 25 leerdersvoor die skoolhek aflaai met oorverdowendemusiek wat oor die area weergalm.“Hulle (die leerders) kom ná 08:30 en soms

tot 09:00 hier by die skool aangedrentel uit la-waaierige taxi’s wat doef-doef, selfs in eksa-mentye,” sê hy, en voeg by dat hy verskeiekere taxi-bestuurders moes vra om die mu-siek sagter te draai.“Snaakse dinge gebeur in dié taxi’s. ’n On-

gelisensieerde vuurwapen is sowat twee jaargelede tydens ’nroetine-patrollievandiepoli-sie in ’n taxi gevind,” sê hy.

Leerders word ook gloaan dwelms blootgestel.“Ekwouop ’nkeer ’n seunhuistoe stuur omdat hysiek was, maar ’n anderleerder het toe vertel dathy en die bestuurder dag-ga gerook het.”

Volgens Simons het ’n ouer ook ’n voorvalby hom gerapporteer waar ’n bestuurder nabewering tik in die taxi gebruik het.Hy sê dat drie busse voorheen as vervoer-

middel na en van die skool gebruik is, ná ou-ers dit aangevrahet.Diekontrakmetdiebus-maatskappy moes egter gekanselleer wordomdat daar te min leerders was wat dit ge-bruik het.Somerset-Wes polisie woordvoerder, sers.

Suzan Jantjies, het bevestig dat klagtes oortaxi’s ontvang is.“Polisie patrolleer die skool soggens sowel

as smiddaena-skool spesifiek omdwelmhan-delenbesitvandwelmsengevaarlikewapensonder leerling te beveg,” sê sy.Jantjies sê nog operasies met ander wets-

toepassers word beplan.Volgens Piet Louis, waarnemende voorsit-

ter van RATA, is hy onbewus van die proble-me en sal dit aangespreek word indien dit bydie organisasie aangemeld word.Volgens Richard Coleman, woordvoerder

vir die Stad Kaapstad se verkeersdienste, isgeen amptelike klagtes vanaf die skool ont-vang nie. Volgens Coleman is dit onmoontlikomdaaglikse patrollies by skole te hê. BoetesvanR400 per persoonkan opgelêword indientaxi’s oorlaai is.Klagtes oor oorlaaide taxi’s kan by

0860 103 089 aangemeld word.

’n Matriekleerder wat na bewering die skoolbus verpas het word Woensdag net na 08:30by die skool afgelaai.

Weight-loss challengewinner crownedThe numbers and measurements arein – the winner of the first HelderbergWeight-loss Challenge, using theproducts and support supplied byCambridge Weightplan SA, has beennamed.

And it was Somerset West resident WernerGort who triumphed in theweight loss and lifes-tyle change competition after he lost 9,6kg injust 21 days. Werner was named the winnerat a ceremony on Monday 9 February; the an-nouncement wasmade on-air on RadioHelder-berg.Werner was one of five contestants to sign

up for the challenge, which saw participantschange theirmeal plans to thenutritionally com-plete formula food provided by CambridgeWeightplan for only 21 days. Each contestantwas also assigned an Accredited CambridgeConsultant from Cambridge Weightplan, whoassisted them with cognitive behavioural tech-niques during this weight loss journey.It has been proven over and over by Cam-

bridge Weightplan that is the behavioural ad-justments made with support of the Cambridgeconsultant that lead to long termweight loss andweight maintenance results.The five contestants achieved and exceeded

all expectations, with the total weight-loss beingmore than 34 kg and an amazing 126 cm overthe 21-day period.Cambridge Weightplan was created after

years of research by Dr Alan Howard and DrIan McLean-Baird, as they sought to developthe “perfect diet”, while at CambridgeUniversi-ty in the United Kingdom. Their formula pro-duced excellent weight loss and the first com-mercial version of CambridgeWeightplan, TheCambridge Diet, was launched in the UK in1984. It was first introduced in South Africa in2008, when Cambridge SA CEO John Potgiet-er, who discovered Cambridge Weightplan inthe UK, brought it to our shores.TheCambridgeWeightplan is the undisputed

global gold standard in low calorie formulafood. Available in more than 30 countriesacross the world, more than 25 million usershave used it for more than 30 years. It consistsof a wide range of low calorie pre-packagedformula foods available as soups, shakes, barsand porridges. It is available from independentaccredited Cambridge consultants throughoutSouth Africa.The long-term weight loss results achieved

while following the Cambridge Weightplanjourney is as a result of the weekly support pro-vided by a consultant who assists you to make

food behavioural and long-term lifestylechanges by applying cognitive behaviouraltechniques. With Cambridge only you can doit, but you don’t have to do it alone. CambridgeWeightplan: real people, real support, real re-sults.Helderberg Weight-loss Challenge winner

Werner, who lost a total of 16 cm during thechallenge, will be continuing with the pro-gramme. But it was touch-and-go for him, ashe nearly missed the deadline to enter.‘‘My entry made it in the nick of time and I

was so excited to hear that I was one of thefive participants,” he says. ‘“From a young age, I have always loved div-

ing. When this competition was announced, Ithought it would be the ideal opportunity to takethat first step towards becoming a professionaldiver. Iwant to loseat least another10 kgbeforeI enrol at the Seadog Diving School this year.”For his prize, Werner and his sweetheart will

spend a romantic Valentine’s weekend at theArabella Spa, compliments of CambridgeWeightplan SA.No one is prouder of Werner’s achievement

than his consultant, Sonja du Plessis. ‘‘Wernerwas just great; he didn’t deviate from the Cam-bridgeWeightplanprotocolsandstayed in con-tact with me every day. I am so proud of him.”

SWburglarieson the increaseDALEEN FOUCHÉ

ResidentsofSomersetWestandSirLow-ry’s Pass are urged to be vigilant aftera recent increase in house burglaries.

The Somerset West NeighbourhoodWatchwarned on its Facebook page on Sat-urday that there had been an increase inburglaries last week.According to the post, burglars were

gaining entry into houses by forcibly re-moving doors and windows.The neighbourhood watch referred the

DistrictMail to the police when we contact-ed them for comment this week.Sergeant Suzan Jantjies, spokesperson

for the Somerset West police, confirmedthat there has been a slight increase in bur-glaries in theLand-en-Zeezicht area, and inSir Lowry’s Pass, compared to last year.“Patrols have been increased in those are-as,” Jantjies said.She also confirmed that entry was being

ainedbyremovingwindowsorforcingopenwindows and doors.“The community can assist us by closing

windows, doors and sliding doors at night.

In the majority of reported cases, windowshad been left wide open.”Jantjies asks that residents not replace

windows or doors before fingerprints havebeen taken by the police. “Removing ortamperingwith the crime scene has a nega-tive impact on the investigation.”Jantjies also advises residents to note

downtheserialnumbersofcellphones, tele-vision sets andother electronic equipment,and to keep clear photographs of valuableitems such as jewellery.Two suspects have been arrested in con-

nectionwithburglariesinSirLowry’sPass.

SMALL BUSINESSOWNERDESCRIBES THE FUTUREAS ‘DARK’

Business sappedbypower cutsDALEEN FOUCHÉ

Joblossesandbusinessclosuresarebecom-ing possibilities for local businesses as theongoing power cuts start to take their toll.

Earlier this month, Eskom announced thatSouth Africans will have to live with powercuts for the next three years.Andmanylocalbusinessesarealreadystrug-

gling to come to grips with this new reality.Tony Da Silva, manager of Fish for Africa,

a fish retailer in the Gants Centre, says theyare struggling to cope with load shedding. De-spite it having little effect on their stock, cus-tomers do not visit the store during load shed-ding. “We also have to stop our take-away ser-vice, because it’s reliant on electricity.”Fish forAfrica is looking to buy a generator,

but Da Silva says a generator to power theirmassive fridges – which can hold up to 60 tonsof fish – will cost a fortune.Neves Gattinho, co-owner of Central Mini

Market in the Somerset West CBD, says al-though they have a generator, it can only sup-ply electricity to the lights which uses single-phase electricity, but not the fridges, whichneeds three-phase electricity.Two computers are currently in for repairs

as a result of damage from the power surgesthat result from electricity being restored.Gattinho urges shoppers to bring a cool bag

along when shopping, as load shedding inter-rupts the cold cycle for two hours at a time.She says although this does not affect the pro-duce, many customers do not return home im-mediately after shopping, causing the produceto be out of a fridge for even longer than thetwo hours induced by load shedding.Gattinho describes the future as “dark”.

“This is a very difficult time,” she says.

Central MiniMarket is considering alterna-tive sources of energy for the fridges.Even though Lourensford Wine Estate

launched a state of the art solar farm on theroof of its tasting roomandcellar late last year,the estate is still heavily affected by load shed-ding.KoosJordaan,generalmanager, explainsthat the purpose of the 500mw solar farm wasto reduce both Eskom bills and the farm’s car-bonfootprint.Asthesolarfarmcannotproducean uninterrupted supply of energy, the wineproduction is severely affected.He says their current generator cannot sup-

ply the entire cellar with power as the cellarwould require a massive generator.“The most important aspect of winemaking

is cooling,” says Jordaan. “The industry usesthe most of its electricity on keeping the winecool in its various stages of production. Thecooling processmust be uninterrupted, or elsethe quality may be compromised. This maylead to financial losses.”But Jordaan says the blackouts also affect

other facets of production such as the pressingprocess. Ripe grapes have to be processed andpressed as soon as possible and without inter-ruption. “We cannot be reliant on the nationalgrid any more.”Marc Sturn,manager of The Cattle Baron in

Somerset West, says their food stock is not af-fected by load shedding as the restaurant’sfreezerscanremaineffective forupto24hours.But turnover, he says, is heavily affected be-

cause the kitchen cannot run without power.“We have to close our doors when the powergoes out.”Further losses are incurred because staff

membershave tobepaid forbeingatworkdur-ing blackouts.Somebusinesseshavemanagedtoplug inso-

lutions.

The Friedman & Cohen department store inStrand is able to keep the lights on and the tillsoperating with its backup generator.Grant Goodwin, director of Friedman & Co-

hen, says that 20% of the lights are poweredby the generator, but thiswill soonbe doubled.With careful planning, the restaurant is alsoable to keep operating during blackouts.Nina’s Family Restaurant in Beach Road,

Strand is also fully operational during black-outs. “Ninety-seven percent of our operation

runs on gas,” says owner Johnny Bezuiden-hout.Isabel Nortje, owner of construction equip-

ment supplier Turner Morris in Strand saysgeneratorsalesare“verybrisk”,withstockfly-ing off the shelves as it comes in.The demand for generators for households

andbusinesses is veryhigh. “Currentlywe on-ly have generators that can supply energy topower tools, not entire households. But we areexpecting new stock next week.”

Pressure gun thief caught in the actA Strand resident notified the police when aburglarwas in the process of stealinghis highpressure gun at 22:00 onWednesday 4 Februa-ry.The residentheardhis dogbarkingoutside,

looked through the window and saw an un-knownman in the process of pulling his highpressure gun through the window of the ga-rage. When the complainant shouted at the

man, the suspect ranawaywith thehighpres-sure gun, worth R3 500, in his hand.The complainant’s son-in-law chased after

Tow-truckers in court forassaultDELIAH BRINKHUIS

Three employees of En RouteTowing (aged 32, 40 and 50) werearrested on Tuesday and will ap-pear in the Somerset West Magis-trate’s Court today (Thursday) toface a charge of assault.

This follows after a charge of as-sault was laid against the company’semployees and owner after a fenderbender ended in a fist fight in Bizwe-ni two weeks ago. (“Tow-trucker infist fight”, DistrictMail, 5 February2015).

The accident that provoked thedrama occurred when a Toyota Con-quest bumped into a Mercedes on thecorner of Bizweni and SchapenbergRoads at 07:45 on Tuesday 3 Februa-ry.

The owner of En Route Towing, Ja-co Truter, admitted to DistrictMaillast week that he had indeed hit thedriver of the Mercedes. “I simplywanted to calm him down,” he said,explaining that he had restrainedthe driver after he punched one ofhis drivers.

The driver then allegedly punchedTruter in the face, which is whenTruter admits he hit him on thechest.

A passenger in the Toyota Con-quest has now come forward to saythat the tow-truckers had merelycome to their aid as the driver of theMercedes was “being aggressive” to-wards them. “He shouted at my dad,‘Do you know how old my car is?’ sherecalls.

The driver and his wife also hurledracial insults, the woman claims.

She says the tow-truckers askedthe driver a few times to calmdown and “speak “decently”. Shesays he, however, continued toverbally attack them.

“I believe that he would haveassaulted my dad if the tow truckdrivers had not intervened.”

When theDistrictMail contact-ed the driver of the Mercedes onWednesday, he said he had suf-fered severe concussion and wasbooked off until the last week ofFebruary.

He denied that he and his wifehad hit the tow truck drivers andthat they had made racial com-ments towards the occupants ofthe Toyota Conquest.

Sgt Suzan Jantjies, policespokesperson, says the men werewarned to appear in court today.

Vorderingmet van Breda-saakRAYMOND WILLEMSE

Die kanse dat jy nie deur ’n kame-ra in die spog-landgoed opgetelword nie is onwaarskynlik.

Só het ’n inwoner van die gholf-landgoed De Zalze, waar drie men-se in hul spoghuis vermoor is, ge-sê. “Daar is oral kameras, op diegrensdrade en in die strate. As jyby jou deur uitgaan tel die kame-ras dit op,” het die inwoner gesê,wat verkies om anoniem te bly.

Niemand is nog in hegtenis ge-neem vir die moorde op Martinvan Breda (55), sy vrou, Teresa(54), asook hul oudste seun, Rudi(22), nie. Hulle is verlede Donder-dag by ’n gedenkdiens in Pretoriagegroet.

Die egpaar se dogter, Marli (16),is ook in die voorval aangeval enindieMediclinicVergelegeninSo-merset-Wes opgeneem. Sy is glotans onder polisiebewaking enniemand word by haar toegelaatnie. Die Van Breda’s se jongsteseun, Henri (20), is slegs lig beseeren tans in die sorg van sy oom inStellenbosch.

Lt.kol. Andrè Traut, ’n polisie-woordvoerder, het gister gesê:“Beduidende vordering word ge-maak,maarhierdievorderingkannienoumetdiemediagedeelwordnie”.

Eben Potgieter, voorsitter vanDe Zalze se huiseienaarsvereni-ging, het op die dag wat die lykevan die Van Breda’s gekry is, gesêdaar was geen ongemagtigde toe-gang tot die landgoed nie. Hy hetgesê die voorval is geïsoleerd.

Oor navrae of daar kameras indie strate is en of hulle die beeld-materiaal aan die polisie oorhan-dig het, het die huiseienaarsver-

eniging by ’n vorige verklaringvolstaan. “Ons gaan ons weerhouvan enige optrede, stellings of be-spiegeling wat die ondersoek kanbelemmer.

“Onssalamptelikeinligtingaandie inwoners en die media geewanneer dit deur die polisie deur-gegee word. Die bestuurspan vandie landgoed werk ten volle saammetdiepolisie,maarslegsophulleversoek.”

Intussen het die familie sewoordvoerder, Ben Rootman, be-vestig dat ’n regspan vir Henriaangestel is.

Lorinda van Niekerk van dieregsfirma Cluver & Markotter enadv. Piet Botha is aangestel om naHenri se regsbelange om te sien.

Rootmanhetgesêdiefamiliehetdit wys geag om vir Henri ’n pro-kureuraantestelomsyregsbelan-ge te beskerm.

Hy het nie uitgebrei oor watterregsbelange dit is nie.

By navraag het prof. Anna vander Hoven, ’n onafhanklike foren-siese kriminoloog van Randburg,gesê dit is nie ongewoon dat alvo-rens iemand vir ’n misdryf aange-kla word hulle reeds ’n regspanaanstel nie.

Oor hoekom die polisie so lankvatomiemandinhegtenisteneemhet Van der Hoven gesê hulle wilsekermaakhullehetaldiebewyseen die regte persoon is vir diemoorde in hegtenis geneem.

“Hulle wil nie iemand in hegte-nis neem en dan is dit die verkeer-de een nie. Hulle kan gedagvaarword.Diesaakisook ’nprominen-te een wat dopgehou word. Ek glodit gaan ’n baie interessante saakword as Marli gaan begin praatoor wie hulle aangeval het.”

HUGESPURT INPOPULATIONGROWTH

It’s official: SomersetWestis no longeravillageDALEEN FOUCHÉ

TheHelderberghada42%increaseinpop-ulation between 2001 and 2011, growingfrom 154 216 to 218 503 residents in thespace of ten years.

In comparison, Cape Town as a whole, in-clusive of theHelderberg, had a 25% increasein population in this same period.This is according to information from the

CityofCapeTown,drawnfromGlobal InsightRegional eXplorer.The rapid growth in population is one of

the twomain factorsdriving theextensivede-velopment currently under way in the Hel-derberg.The other main factor is the availability of

large swathes of developable land.LastweektheDistrictMailpublishedacom-

prehensiveguide toall thedevelopments thatwill take place this year, from developmentson the old AECI site through to the R4 billionSitari Fields development, and numerousother residential and commercial develop-ments.This week Stuart Pringle, chairperson of

Subcouncil 8, highlighted how the City ofCape Town is investing in infrastructure tosupport the development of the Helderberg.He says the Helderberg falls within the

Eastern District of the City of Cape Town,which is acknowledged as a rapid growth ar-ea.SomersetWest, he said, has not been a “vil-

lage” for a very long time.In 1969 there were only about 7 000 people

in Somerset West. He estimates that therearenowbetween 80 000 and 100 000 people liv-ing in Somerset West.

Pringle says themaintenance and upgradeof infrastructure is a top priority for the Cityof Cape Town.This includes sewage and road upgrades.

Transport upgrades are especially impor-tant, he says, adding that various transportprojects in theHelderbergare in theplanningstage.An amount of R1,1 million is on this year’s

budget forthetransformationof theSomersetWest taxi rank into a public transport hubfor bus and taxi services.A tender to create a non-motorised trans-

port system, including cycle lanes andwheel-chair-friendly sidewalks, will be put out forsubmissions next month, while constructionis projected to start in August.Pringle says the city is focusing on getting

thebalancebetweenconservationandurban-isation right.This, he says, is especially important in the

Helderberg, because of its beautiful scenicviews and landscapes that could become aneven bigger driver for economic activitythrough tourism.Another big priority for the City of Cape

Town is to tackle economic and social devel-opment.AccordingtoPringle, themajorityofpeople

moving to the City of Cape Town live in in-formal settlements and backyards.Projects such as the creation of informal

tradingareas inSomersetWestandMacassarand the Nomzamo business hub are address-ing the need for economic development in di-verse communities, Pringle says.

)For a detailed breakdown of all the infra-structure projects driven by the City of CapeTown in the Helderberg, visit www.district-mail.com.

Various road upgrades and infrastructure projects are planned for the current financial year.Here construction workers are busy in Main Road, Strand.

Neighbourhoodwatchesneedmembers,whynot join?

In my opinion, there are two main reasons whythe Helderberg needs more members to join theneighbourhood watches:

. The rapid growth in population during thepast ten years to just under amillion people; and

. The need to establish and foster a sense ofcommunity among these newcomers.Cape Town is an attractive metropolis, a first-

worldhubof culturewith intellectual life, restau-rantsandscenery,butevenherepeoplearegradu-ally being alienated.It has been impressive though, to see how

quickly leaders in this large urban basin havemanaged to establish an outstanding series of

neighbourhood watches.The participating organisations in this

initiativeare:SecureRiteSecurity,Gordon’sBaySecurity, ADT and TSU Protection Services.These neighbourhoodwatches share crime intel-ligence, information about suspects, safety andsecurity and provide fast, coordinated responsesto emergencies; in the last half-year alone, 25 to47 suspects have been arrested.These organisations dedicated to combating

LeerkindersdiegevaarvanwapensVir die tweede keer vanjaar het dieDistriksPos ’n tragiese storie op dievoorbladoor ’nkindwiese jong lewekortgeknip is, vermoedelik deur an-der kinders wat toegang tot geweregekry het.’n Agtjarige seun van Broadlands

Park is Maandag oorlede nadat symaatjiehomnabeweringgeskiethetmet ’ngeweerwathulle langsdiepadopgetel het. ’n Onskuldige speletjievan cops and robbers het nou ’n jonglewegeëis endie lewevandie11-jari-ge seun wat vermoedelik die snellergetrek het, onherroeplik verander.In Januarie het ’n 17-jarigemeisie

haar lewe verloor toe haar vriend(16)haarvermoedelikgeskiethet toehyhaarwouwyshoe’ngeweerwerk.In altwee gevalle het kinders toe-

gang tot vuurwapens gehad.Is gewere dan so geredelik bekom-

baar in die Helderberg dat ’n mensslegs in die straat kan afstap en ’ngeweer optel? Indien wel, is dit noutyd vir die regstelsel om op te tree.Diekriminele elemente inons same-lewing wat verantwoordelik is virdie gesteelde en ongelisensieerdewapens in ons buurte, moet dieswaarste straf moontlik opgelêword. Maar ouers kan nie net ledigagteroorsit en verwag dat die geregdie probleem gaan oplos nie. Elkekind in ons gemeenskappe moet diegevaar van wapens geleer word.Ons kan die gewere nie wegwens

nie, so kom ons leer ons kinders omwapens te rapporteer, eerder as omdaarmee te speel.

skou en dit dadelik ondersoek. Hulle was ferm endeeglik en was baie behulpsaam. Hulle kon egtergeensins enige bewyse of feite kry om die aanty-ging wat die klaer oor van haar bure gemaak hette staaf nie.As lid van die publiek en inwoner van die Hel-

oordie algemeenbaie beter ver-kope sal hê.Dit sal weer veroorsaak dat

die winsgewendheid verhoogendiebetrokkemaatskappyeseaandeelpryse positief reageer.Dit is logies om te redeneer

dat die voedselpryse ook moetafkom, aangesien die vervoer-koste drasties afgeneem het.Wel, inderwaarheidgaanditniesommer gou gebeur nie. Suid-Afrika het lank gebuk gegaanonder drastiese brandstofsty-gings, soms maandeliks.Hierdie stygings is nie nood-

wendig dadelik deurgegee aandie verbruiker nie, maar deur verskaffersgeabsorbeer.Let wel dat die winkelgroep self selde die

verhoging in koste sal dra.Hulle druk gewoonlik die verskaffers om

die koste te dra.Hierdie verskaffers het nou ná ’n lang tyd

van “droogte” weer geleentheid gekry omhul pryse dieselfde te hou terwyl hul wins-marges styg.Eintlik verhaal hulle net dit wat hulle die

afgelope drie jaar verloor het.Die lae brandstofprys sal wel verhoed dat

voedselpryse vanjaar skerp styg.Met ’n ver-wagte inflasiekoers van tussen 4% en 5%aan die einde van die jaar, kan verbruikersgerus die bykomende besparing in brand-stofkoste gebruik om hul spaargeldjies aante vul.

Die afgelope paar maandeword die ekonomiese nuusdeurdie tuimelende olieprysoorheers.

In Januarie 2014 het die prysvanBrent-ruolieop$107Ameri-kaanse dollar gestaan.Tans isdieolieprysnagenoeg

2014sowatR13,20perlitergekosteenoor R9,90 begin Februarie2015 – ’n daling van 25%.Die vraag is hoekom die prys van brand-

stofniemet soveel gedaalhetasdieprysvanolie nie.Die rede daarvoor is dat ’n groot deel van

In loving memory of Russell who passed away 5 years

ago on 11.2.2010. I think of you with so much love

but that is nothing new. I think of you in silence and

so often speak your name. It broke my heart to lose

you but you left wonderful memories behind and

there is not a day that goes past without a reminder

of you. Although I cannot see you, I know you are at

my side guiding and watching over me. I love and miss

you.

There has been a number of reports andenquiries from readers about the largepatches of pinkish water appearing invarious sections of False Bay during thepast week.

These patches of so-called “geelbek” watercan suddenly bloom into a lethal red tide.

Offshore winds blowing across the surfacewater cause upwelling from the depths andwith this cold water these microscopic orga-nisms,whichare responsible for red tide, areblown to the surface and bloom.

Once this dense bloom has occurred, onlya change in wind direction can disperse anddissipate the red tide.

This red tide has now appeared along theWest Coast and has caused crayfish (kreef)to walk out of the water and onto the beachesdue to the lack of oxygen, depleted by the redtide.

Nature conservation officers are having atorrid time, preventing the public from tak-ing these toxic crayfish home.

Local spinnermen are still having fun fish-ing and spinning for leeries alongside theslipway and off Blake’s Beach. Very few elfhave been caught by shore anglers, whetherspinning or using bait.

Small boats and kayaks have boated kob,geelbek, dassies and the odd white stump inDie Poort and off Melk Bay areas.

The Pearly Beach Shore Angling Club held

a successful monthly competition on Satur-day. A total of 22 fish was weighed. Theseincluded 20 kob, one elf and one hottentot.Hannes Smuts won with three kob of (5 kg,6 kg, and 8 kg) followed by Rian Steyn, alsowith three kob (5 kg, 4,5 kg, 3 kg).

Ferdi Joubert was third, with three kob(5 kg, 3 kg, and 6,5 kg); fourth was ChrisBotha, also with three kob (2,5 kg, 3 kg, 5 kg).The kob were caught between Pearly Beachand Rietfontein.

Pieter Brink fished off Macassar Beach onSaturday and Sunday and reported goodcatches of kob of between 4 and 6 kg. He alsoreported that there were some good dassieand belman caught in the area.

Alan du Plessis reported excellent catchesof kob, which he tagged and released, at DieWalle, Struisbaai on Friday.

OnSundayAlanandcrewontheboatTylercouldonly locateandcatch foursmallyellow-fin tuna, fishing 10 miles off the Point.

Alan will now be returning to Struisbaaito fish for marlin. For charters to catch mar-lin, phone 083 453 2808.

An interesting report from EarlFenwick said there ere two largedorados caught by a ski boat 10miles off Cape Point.

There was also yellowtailcaughtonFridayatRobbenIslandduring thedayandgeelbekduringthe late afternoon and at night.

Some excellentcatchesofmack-erel, caught just off the Battery atSimon’s Town have also been re-ported.

If the water remains between19°C and 20°C, these mackerelshould stay in the bay and attractthe larger fish.

Small boats fishing inFalseBayand at Hangklip also filled theirquotas of geelbek.

There were reports of rock andsurf anglers catching geelbek ofup to 8 kg at Betty’s Bay.

BALL GIRLS: A number of Somerset House girls recently had the privilege of being the ball girls for a hockey test match between the SouthAfrican and Belgium women’s teams at Hartleyvale in Observatory. It was a closely contested game which SA won 1­0. This was a wonder­ful experience for the girls and they loved every minute, said Mandy McIlroy, sports director at Somerset House. “It was just what they need­ed to get them into the mood for our Summer Astro League, which takes place against eight local primary schools (Beaumont, SomersetWest, De Hoop, Somerset College, Lochnerhof, Hendrik Louw, Gordon’s Bay and Somerset House) played at Somerset House on Mondayevenings from 16:00 to 20:00. The senior boys are playing in a similar Summer League Indoor Tournament at Somerset College. This is awonderful opportunity for our children in the Helderberg to prepare for the up and coming hockey season,” she said.

Dropped catchescostMacassarthe gameMacassar drew their First Division D matchagainst Brooklyn Telkom at Milnerton onSaturday.

There was no play on day 1 (last Saturday)due to a wet outfield so both captains agreedto a 30-over first innings declaration.

Macassar batted first and were in all sortsof trouble, losing early wickets as Brooklynmade full use of the bowler-friendly pitch.

Macassar scored 73/9 in its 30 overs. Topbatsmen were Q. Bowman (15), J. Fortuin(12) and D. Sebastian (13).

Brooklyn also battled as J. Fortuin tookthe top order apart with figures of 14-7-23.Brooklyn were all out for 70 in 25 overs.

The other bowler among the wickets wascaptain N. Swartland with 8-3-31.

The second innings started with 65 oversleft in the day.

Macassar’s wickets fell quickly and, withthe score on 45/5, it was J. Fortuin (34) andQ. Bowman (42*) who took the score to 133/9in 33 overs. They were well supported by E.le Roux and A. Swartland both with 16 runseach. Captain N. Swartland declared andgave Brooklyn a target of 134 runs to winin 31 overs.

The Brooklyn batsmen went for the totaland in the process lost wickets regularly.Macassar also dropped five catches in theoutfield and with just 10 overs left Brooklynneeded 54 runs to win.

The spin duo of N. Swartland with 3/37and A. Roberts 3/11 brought Macassar backin the game, leaving Brooklyn Telkom withsix runs to win off the last over and still twowickets in hand.

J. Fortuin was given the ball and pickedup a wicket with the second ball of his spell.

Macassar then needed one wicket to winoff the last ball of the day, while BrooklynTelkom required two runs.

Fortuin bowled a brilliant yorker and theBrooklyn batsman got a leg bye as the LBWwas not given, leaving them on 133/9 in 31overs. The game ended in a tie, with thescores level on 133. J. Fortuin was man ofthe game with bowling figures of 25-10-50.

This past weekend was a dismal one for theHelderberg Pirates baseball teams, as theyall failed to beat their opponents on the day.

The first senior side, third on the log, arefacingoffagainstthelogleadersandrunners-up in their next games.

Pirates struggled to beat newly relegatedGrassy Park Crusaders and things were nodifferent when Pirates hosted Crusaders atRadloff Park on Saturday.

Pirates, who seem to have worked on theirfielding, had minimal errors and didn’t fare

badly with the bat, but were just outgunnedby a stronger Crusaders side.

Crusaders brought in five runs within thefirst three frames, while their strong defenceput the game out of reach for Pirates in theearly stages of the game.

Pirates, however, showed their resilienceand fighting spirit up to the final frame andprevented the game from being called on the“mercy” rule, as happened last time the twoteams met – and ended the game 9-2.

The Masters’ side also struggled to beat

their travelling opposition on Saturday, asa strong, experienced Silvertree side beatthem 11-2. The Masters lost their last threegames,buthaveshowntheyareaformidableforce and are expected to get back to winningthe last few games of the season.

The Pirates junior sides all played GrassyPark Crusaders in their various age groupsand fought hard, only narrowly losing theirgames. The u.15s lost 10-17 and the u.12s lost7-9, while the spirited u.10 side came agonis-ingly close, losing 12-13.

All Pirates baseball teams scuppered on Saturday
