arah Hector (33) word al n week lank

vermis tog is haar gesin hoopvol dat

sy veilig na hulle sal terugkeer.

n Hoopvolle familielid, Brendan Hector,

die vermiste Zarah se broer, het vandees-

week aan TygerBurger vertel dat almal fa-

milie, vriende, die gemeenskap en polisie

alles in hul vermo doen om haar te vind.

Zarah, n ma van n tienermeisie, is verle-

de Woensdag as vermis aangemeld nadat sy

die dag vantevore haar werkplek in Kuilsri-

vier, die Oostenberg Lodge, verlaat het,

maar nie haar bestemming bereik het nie.

Sy sou haar krel in Blackheath besoek

het. Die voertuigwat sy bestuurhet, nBMW

Z3, is egter Donderdag verlate in Observato-

ry gevind, vertel Brendan.

Sy was op pad na haar krel om die voer-

tuig by hom af te laai. Iewers langs die pad

moes iets verkeerd geloop het, s hy.

Die voertuig staan tans by n vriend se

huis.

Volgens Brendan is die wiele, bande, bat-

tery en CD-laaier uit die voertuig gesteel.

Haar dogter stres. Dis traumaties vir

haar n vir ons gesin.

Ons hanteer dit nie goed nie; niemand

dink meer honderd persent nie, s hy.

Hy het die verdwyning en die uitwerking

daarvan op die gesin as n nagmerrie be-

skryf.

Dis die eerste keer dat so iets gebeur. Dis

nie in haar karakter om so iets te doen nie,

vertel hy. Brendan s alles is nou in die poli-

sie se hande oorgelaat.

DESIRE RORKE

@dezzierorke

L

ocal authorities are out to bring an

end to the scourge of drunkendriving

on roads in the northern suburbs.

A joint operation between the Citys

Law Enforcement and Traffic Services

saw 20 drunk drivers arrested during a

road block in Protea Heights in Bracken-

fell during the last week in February. And

this was only the first of many to come,

authorities revealed at a local subcouncil

meeting last week.

The roadblockwas set up ona relatively

busy Brackenfell Boulevard between

22:00 and 02:00 in the morning.

Only four hours and twenty drunk

drivers were arrested. It shows just how

bad the problem really is, said ward

councillor Marian Nieuwoudt after the

statistics were tabled.

Continuous monitoring needed

She is of the opinion that dozens more,

especially younger people returning from

their weekend parties, would have been

captured, if this particular road block had

continued until 04:00 in the morning.

Nieuwoudt commended the services for

this success but stressed the fact that con-

tinuousmonitoringwouldbenecessary to

bring the problem under control.

This was a good start and considering

the prevalence of licensed alcohol traders

in Brackenfell, I hope that such opera-

tions will continue on a regular basis in

the area.

Traffic principal Desr Benadie an-

swered in the affirmative saying that the

twodepartments had to combine their for-

ces in order to step up services in the area.

The traffic department in the northern

areas currently only has 12 traffic officers

with sometimes as little as two per shift

to cover the areas from Bellville to Kraai-

fontein.

I had to bring in officers on overtime

for operations like this one, but it worked

and we will keep up the effort. Combined

with the staff at Law Enforcement it

proved to be very successful and we will

thus continue to address this problem in

Brackenfell, in the months to come, she

said.

But how much is too much to drink be-

fore you drive?

According to information provided by

the Arrive Alive campaign, the legal limit

of 0.05g/100ml may be exceeded after only

two beers. One metric tot is 8.4g of ethyl

alcohol.

The average beer contains between 13

and 16 grams of ethyl alcohol and is equiv-

alent to a double brandy.

As far aswine is concerned, the percent-

age of alcohol indicated on the bottle, usu-

ally 10%, would imply 10 grams of alcohol

per 100ml of wine.

Varies from person to person

Factors such as volume, strength, type

of dilutant, type of meal, medication and

water content in the body may affect the

uptakeof alcohol, but this varies fromper-

son to person.

It is important to understand that alco-

hol affects the cognitive functions of the

intoxicated person. Driving is an action

that requires good multi-tasking with the

driver having to concentrate not only on

steering the vehicle, but also on road con-

ditions, other vehicles and pedestrians,

road signs and traffic lights, says a

spokesperson at Arrive Alive.

The basic guideline in South Africa is

that two drinks within one hour will put

you on or over the legal limit, so dont

drink more than this if you will be driv-

ing.

Clampdown on drunk

drivers set to continue

A group of teenagers from Spandau in Eer-

ste River all belonging to the Cornerstone

YouthClubwere takenonanexciting camp-

ing experience to Muizenberg this past

weekend.

The club partnered with the Retreat

Youth Squad and the youth from Hanover

Park andwent on a camp aimed specifically

for youth at risk, Caswell Julies, founder of

Cornerstone, said.

The camp taught them why discipline

anddedicationplayan important role in the

planning of ones future, Julies said.

The camp was held at the Zeekoevlei Re-

sort in Muizenberg from 18 to 20 March.

The Metro Police K9 Unit also attended.

They used their dogs to demonstrate how

these animals assist the police in detecting

drugs, Julies said.

One of the guest speakers at the camp in-

cluded a former inmate, doctor Dennis Wit-

booi, who achieved his first diploma in

teaching whilst in prison.

Witbooi is currently a psychologist prac-

ticing in Hout Bay.

The youth was also entertained by a

dance crew from Eerste River named Just

do It, Julies said.

The teens also participated in a series of

team building activities led by Julies and

Samton Groenewald, leader of the Retreat

Youth Squad.

Teens taught life lessons

Teenagers belonging to the Cornerstone Youth Club in Spandau, Eerste River, attended a camp

for youths held in Muizenberg this past weekend.

T

he conflict between the rights of drug

users to clean equipment, and those of

thebroaderBellville community tonot

be exposed to drug paraphernalia and open

drug use, will not level out soon.

This comes after yet another reader has

asked TygerBurger to investigate the legiti-

macy of drug users openly shooting up and

leaving used needles behind, and the orga-

nisation that supplies this equipment as

part of their harm reduction programme.

Resident Tomislav Milakovic sent Tyger-

Burger pictures of a drug user injecting

himself in broad daylight in the middle of

a residential street.

Some of the pictures, which he obtained

from the Oakdale Watch, also show packs

of unused syringes that were picked up by

patrollers, and used syringes that were

pickedup in various parks aroundOakdale.

How is there any control? Milakovic

asked in an open letter to Step Up, the orga-

nisation backed by local andprovincial gov-

ernment to service drug users with essen-

tials to ensure harm reduction.

Step Up, you say what you do, will pre-

vent disease.

Nonsense. You are

handing out clean nee-

dles, yes, but they will

get used on our door-

steps, streets, parks and

churches. These needles

are now dirty and in

fact increase the poten-

tial spread of disease,

Milakovic wrote.

Yes, your intentions

are noble, but your end

result is flawed. You do

your charity bit during

the day over here in Bell-

ville then go home to

sleep in your comforta-

ble bed, believing you are making a better

world, whilst we, here in the trenches, are

left with the task of day and night trying to

keep our streets clean for our children.

You have helped entice more drug users

into Bellville and surrounds, inclusive of

Boston, he said.

Other concerns raised included a lack of

support structure for the users, no place to

sleep or proper ablution facilities.

Put yourselves in our shoes. We are un-

derstaffed and overwhelmed as operating

neighbourhood watches, sinking in the

cesspool you are, in fact,

feeding, he said.

Step Up do us all a

favour: step down!

Shaun Shelly, advoca-

cy and psycho-social co-

ordinator at TB/HIV

Care Association, the

parent organisation of

Step Up, responded to

Milakovics letter.

Shelly is currently at a

United Nations summit

in Vienna.

According to a paper

released at the summit,

substantial reductions

in new HIV infections were noted where

needle and syringe programmes and opioid

substitution therapywere applied, showing

a reduction in HIV infections.

He added they were already doing twice-

weekly clean-ups, and repeated a call for the

public to email them the locations where

discarded needles are found and having

consultations with local civic and law en-

forcement agencies to help identify such lo-

cations.

V Contact [email protected] to report loca

tions where used druguse equipment is found.

M

fuleni police are searching for an al-

leged murder suspect after the body

of a woman was discovered in a

bush near Happy Valley last week.

The badly decomposed body is apparent-

ly that of Sizeka Batala, a mother from the

Sophiatown townshipnearHappyValley in

Blackheath.

Batala went missing on Monday 15 Feb-

ruary. Shewas later reportedmissingat the

Mfuleni police station, community worker

Julie de Bruin told TygerBurger last week.

De Bruin is one of those who believe that

the body, described by her as badly bruised

and found on Monday 14 March at about

20:30, is that of Batala.

Her family and friends searched every-

where for her, but could not find her, De

Bruin said.

Last week the family received a phone

call, apparently from Batalas boyfriend,

who is a Mozambican national.

He called them to inform them where

her body was buried, de Bruin said.

The police are now searching for the boy-

friend.

Mfuleni police spokesperson Captain No-

mathemba Muavha identified the suspect

as Ali Mbiza.

She said the publics assistance is re-

quired in tracing the suspectwho iswanted

for murder.

The body of a 30-year-old female was

found in Happy Valley and we have reason

to believe that Mbiza was responsible for

her death, Muavha said.

A case of murder is being investigated.

The possibility that the body is that of

the female who was reported missing on

[Friday] 26 February cannot be ruled out,

however the identity of the deceased is yet

to be determined, Muavha said.

V Anyone with information is requested to call

082 777 6264 or 021 909 9618.

Police search for

womans partner

Sizeka Batala from Happy Valley with her son

and partner Ali Mbiza.

Mfuleni police have issued an appeal to the

public to report people using a firearm to

commit crime.


ba Muavha said a crime pattern analysis

shows that illegal firearms are one of the

contributing factors in murders, robberies

and hijackings.

The police appeal to the community to

make a contribution in the fight against

crime by anonymously report those who

use firearms in the commission of a crime.

V Anyone with information can contact the Mfuleni

police on 021 909 9593.

A

new car pool app aims to relieve traf-

fic congestion and help save the envi-

ronment to boot.

Two entrepreneurs, Sipho Ndimande and

ChrisMegan, founded uGoMyWay, a unique

ride-share and car pool mobile application

with which commuters can do their bit to

change the citys traffic flow while getting

to know new people during travel time.

With the app, anyone can find the drivers

and passengers heading in the same direc-

tion as themselves, using the special plat-

form for chatting to make mutual commut-

ing arrangements

The app contains a leaderboard on which

different categories are listed and on which

more can be added, making it easy to find

a ride to almost anywhere in the city.

This effectively means cost sharing, a re-

duction in carbonmonoxide emissions, con-

gestion and road maintenance costs, as well

as more available parking spaces.

Users will also be able to show their com-

mitment to a cleaner environment while

saving money and having the kind of safety

made possible by the app whereby only

those within the users chosen organisation

can see their travel plans.

Companies (or any other organisation)

can pre-register their members to securely

ring-fence their user community.

By maintaining a private profile, any

member of an organisation may only see,

and be seen, by othermembers of the organi-

sation, according to the uGoMyWay web-

site.

The app can be downloaded free on Play-

Store for Android cellphone users and Meg-

an says this is their way of making better

use of the road network and allow(ing) tech-

nology to help people connect to each other

on their website.

Why wouldnt your organisation want to

promote its commitment to reducing CO2

emissions.

Their website also states that they have

made payments simple by employing the

SnapScan mobile payment system.

A

memorial service was held last week

to honour the two McDonalds staff

members who sadly passed away a

week ago in what can be described as a sad

case of mistaken identity.

Noxolo Skota (29) and her colleague Xoli-

sa Tshabe (24) were passengers in a Toyota

Quantum being transported home on Hind-

le Road, Blue Downs last Monday morning

when they were shot and killed allegedly

by the police. The policemistook their vehi-

cle for the one involved in an armed rob-

bery earlier that day at a service station in

Grove Street, Kuils River.

Two suspects involved in the robbery

were also shot dead. They were found in

Parliament Street, Mfuleni.

On Thursday afternoon Skota and

Tshabe were remembered by their col-

leagues, family and friends for the loving,

kind and cheerful individuals they were.

One of their colleagues described Skota,

who started working at McDonalds in

KuilsRiver inAugust 2013, as anice person,

someone who always made jokes and who

worked well with all of her managers.

We lost a friend, a colleague and a family

member, the colleague said.

Tshabe was described as a gentleman.

They will always be remembered, an-

other worker said.

Thememorial, whichwas held at the Van

Riebeeck Hall, was packed with colleagues,

family, friends and residents ofKuils River.

Eddie Cornelissen, former owner of the

fast food franchise in Van Riebeeck Road,

also spoke a few words.

He thanked everyone for attending the

memorial and for showing their support.

Cornelissen described the day as a sad oc-

casion.

Nico Jacobs, a director atMcDonalds SA,

also comforted the family.

Myheart goes out to the family of the two

victims and their friends and colleagues

my deepest sympathy.

We are never going to realise the poten-

tial of the two people we have lost, Jacobs

said.

The shooting incident is being investigat-

ed by the Independent Police Investigative

Directorate (Ipid).

Robbie Raburabu, spokesperson for Ipid,

toldTygerBurger lastweek that thepatholo-

gist confirmed that both deceased died as

a result of multiple gunshot wounds.

One of the suspects who allegedly robbed

the filling stationwas identified asManelisi

Tokwe. The second suspect who was also

shot deadhas still not been identified,Rabu-

rabu said.

Raburabu said not much progress had

beenmade in the investigation except to say

that their investigators have approached

the victims with a view to obtaining state-

ments, but could not as most were still at

the hospital and in pain.

A total of about 18 police officers who

were alleged tohave takenpart in the opera-

tion are still to be approached for state-

ments.

They are from different

units including K9, Flying

Squad, National Interven-

tion Unit and the Provincial

Observation Team, Rabu-

rabu said.

Greg Solomons, chief ex-

ecutive officer of McDo-

nalds SA, said in a state-

ment the company was

working closely with the

families of the deceased and

injured during this difficult

time.

We respect the privacy of

the victims and their fami-

lies andwe donotwish to en-

ter into details of our sup-

port to the families. We are

still dealingwith the tragedy

of such a senseless loss and

ask your patience as we deal

with our grief and work to-

wards recovering.

A memorial service was

also held on Tuesday night

at the restaurant which was

attended by the public.

Super fast internet coming to Cape Town

DESIRE RORKE

@dezzierorke

W

ide reaching lightning-fast internet

access could soon be available in

Cape Town, pending council ap-

proval, for the installation of a fibre-optic ca-

ble network in the citys sewer and stormwa-

ter pipes.

The City of Cape Towns mayoral commit-

tee last Tuesday recommended that council

grants approval for Link Africa, a telecom-

munication companys right of use appli-

cation.

Maycomember for corporate services and

compliance, Xanthea Limberg, says if ap-

proved this roll-out will have far reaching

benefits, not only for the City, but more im-

portantly for residents and businesses.

The granting of the long-term rights will

contribute to the accelerated roll-out of tele-

communications infrastructure that is es-

sential for economic development in Cape

Town, she said.

We believe that improved access to tele-

communication services and especially ac-

cess to the internet is no longer a privilege

but a necessity to link residents with eco-

nomic activities. The access to associated in-

frastructurewill not only address the availa-

bility and the speed of existing services, but

will also help to reduce the cost of telecom-

munication services in the city.

The city will therefore benefit financially

by way of a market related income.

Link Africa will decide where to install

the fibre-optic cable based on the demand in

specific areas for the services which they of-

fer, she says.

But the entire city could ultimately bene-

fit.

Rates and taxes will not be affected.

The draft agreement between the City

and the service provider makes provision

for a charge to be raised by the City when

granting the right to install cables in the

Citys pipes. This will be a very small addi-

tional source of income to the City and will

be paid by the company, she says.

The company will be constructing tele-

communication networks in an area where

there is demand to enable them to provide

high-speed internet access to adjacent prop-

erties, she adds.

These projects are called fibre-to-the-

home or fibre-to-the-business initiatives.

Once the network has been established,

the company then leases capacity on the net-

work to internet service providers (ISPs)

who in turn provide services to end users.

End users would pay their ISP for the inter-

net service they receive. The ISPwill in turn

pay the telecommunication network provid-

er for the use of their network that will ena-

ble them to recover the cost of building and

operating the network, she explains.

The draft agreement brokered between

the two parties protects the Citys rights as

the owner of the infrastructure and will en-

sure that theCity is indemnified in the event

of Link Africas fibre-optic cabling being

damaged or claims by third parties.

NewButtskop upgrade planned

RICHARD ROBERTS

@richardjohn_rj

A

long overdue upgrade to parts of

ButtskopRoad inBlackheath is soon

set to take place, it was announced

at a subcouncil 21 meeting last week.

The part earmarked for the upgrade is

between Range Road and Vineyard Street,

Dennis de Villiers, a representative from

the City of Cape Towns transport depart-

ment, told ward councillors.

The cost of the upgrade is R100 000.

The money was originally planned to be

used as a contribution to the level crossing

elimination project a project driven by

Prasa to eliminate the level crossing. Ac-

cording to the subcouncil agenda however

the planning for this project is delayed.

De Villiers told councillors that the

money earmarked will therefore be used

to improve Buttskop.

We are going to utilise the money for

the upgrade of a section of Buttskop. The

sectionwe are looking at is around 300me-

tres long, de Villiers said.

Bert van Dalen, ward 14 councillor, told

De Villiers the section near the crossing

atFrederickStreet is also a safety concern.

This road should be diverted as it poses

a danger, he said.

De Villiers indicated that the depart-

ment is aware of the danger at this section.

Adiversionof FrederickStreetwas one

of the options considered, but the R100 000

will not be enough to build a new road.

We will also be required to cross land

that does not belong to us, said De Villi-

ers.

It is unclearwhen the upgradewill start.

The Buttskop level crossing made head-

lines five years agowhen aMetrorail train

struck a minibus taxi transporting school

children. Ten children died in that acci-

dent.

Mfuleni police issued a warning to people,

asking them to be aware of an increase in

theft of motor vehicles.


baMuavha said during the last week the po-

lice noticed an increase in theft of motor ve-

hicles in their precinct.

The area coversWesbank,Mfuleni, Silver-

sands, Happy Valley and the industrial area

in Blackheath.

The vehicles are stolen during the night

and half of those vehicles stolen were stolen

frompeoplewhowent to taverns and parked

their vehicles in the parking areas or along

the street, Muavha explained.

There is no particular type of vehicle be-

ing targeted any vehicle gets stolen.

The police are requesting people to ensure

that their vehicles are locked properly at all

times even if it is parked inyourdriveway

or if you quickly go into the house to pick

up something you forgot.

It is recommended that people install gear

and steering lock mechanisms in their vehi-

cle to minimise the risk.

Do not use a immobiliser to lock your car

from a distance, physically check that the

door is locked after using the immobiliser,

Muavha said.

Residents warned to

be aware of car thieves

I had the opportunity to assist

my mom to receive her card

when Sassa switched to the

an official requested my mom

to sign a form. I could see that

it was a type of bank order

So my mom were asked to sign

a blank form.

I alerted the official about

this. The reply was that he/she

Please do not leave your pets

unattended. Leaving extra food

speak to a neighbour to make

sure this person actually does

come every day. Make sure all

to alternate inside lights.

The robot settings/timing,

specifically in Durban Road,

Willie van Schoor Avenue and

Tygerberg Valley Road, to

mention a few, are so badly set

by the authorities that they

cause traffic jams even

without traffic!

Robots are designed to create

the best flow of traffic possible

and should be synchronised to

do just that. Traffic officials

should know that its a system

and not just traffic lights! Who

educates them?

I get irate and frustrated

when standing at so many

intersections for no reason, as

hardly any vehicles are cross-

ing. Its no wonder that motor-

ists put voet in die hoek to

avoid stopping, resulting in

speeding and skipping a red

light! Most motorists do that in

a hurry and one cant really

blame them.

condemn and criticise people

very quickly. However, on this

occasion I would like to ac-

knowledge the kindness and

generosity shown to a senior

citizen, and extend thanks to a

young guy whose name I do not

know. On Thursday 25 Februa-

ry, about 11:00, my 86-year-old

friend was walking from 13th

Avenue to my home for tea, to

celebrate my birthday. On the

corner of Cleveland and 15th

Avenue this kind youngster

stopped in his Rawson Proper-

ties bakkie to offer her a lift.

He assured her that she would

be safe as his mother taught

him to respect and look after

the elderly! She was close to

my home, she declined the lift.

He switched off the bakkies

engine, got out and escorted

her to my front door! Needless

to say, we were both very

impressed with his kindness.

Great to see there are still kind

and considerate people like this

around, especially with the

growing crime rate in our

country and the disrespect for

Die Groot K

gebeur nie nt

met ander nie

Ons was op pad kerk toe toe ek die eerste

keer van die Groot K gehoor het. Oom

Koster het tongkanker gehad.

My ma het saggies vir my pa vertel dat

hulle n deel van sy tong sal moet uitsny.

Maar dit was nie sag genoeg vir die

oortjies van n nuuskierige sewejarige

nie. Oom Koster was in beheer van die

kerkklok en ek was vas oortuig hy slaap

in die kerktoring, want hy was altyd net

dr. Hyt ons geskel as ons voete gesleep

het Sondagskoolklas toe.

Ekt gewonder hoe hy gaan skel sonder

n tong. Want oom Koster gaan gesond

word en terugkom die hele gemeente

het immers vir hom gebid.

Kanker was destyds soos n tienerswan-

gerskap of egskeiding. Niemand het

daaroor gepraat of geskinder nie. Gewon-

der dalk, maar nie geprt nie.

Ons het oom Koster nooit weer gesien

nie.

Twintig jaar later was dit my pa se

beurt om die

Groot K in die o

te staar.

Die dag toe hy

nie meer sy

Sudoku-raaisel kon

invul nie, was die

dag dat ek geweet

het dis tyd om

vrede te maak en

koebaai te s.

Wr het die

kerk en my ma-hul-

le gebid dat die

Liewe Vader hom

moet spaar. Ekt

gebid dat hy nie

vir jare moet ly nie en dat hy sonder pyn

moet sterf.

Van die familie het my uitgekryt as n

ongelowige. Dis asof hulle gedink het my

ongeloof mag dalk net maak dat hulle

gebede nie voldoende trefkrag gaan h

nie. Ek moes sm bid vir genesing.

Maar ek kon nie. Want eks n realis en

n mens kan nie teen die feite stry nie.

God se plan is nie noodwendig ons plan

nie. Sy antwoord is nie noodwendig die

antwoord wat ons wil hoor nie.

Die skuldgevoel oor my ongeloof het

my opgevreet ... net di wat in n Calvi-

nistiese huis grootgeword het, sal regtig

verstaan. Die sielkundige het ges ekt

vroer as die res van die familie begin

rou oor my pa. Toe die res nog geglo het

hy gaan weer opstaan, het ek sy studeer-

kamer begin oppak.

Dis hoekom ek die sterk een was n sy

dood. My broers en my ma was gebroke.

Wat die sielkundige ook ges het, is dat

n mens nooit die waarde van hoop moet

onderskat nie. Want solank daar hoop is,

het mense n rede om aan te gaan.

Kanker is nie meer n siekte wat net

met ander mense gebeur nie. Dis op

ons drumpel en meeste van ons het al

iemand na aan ons afgestaan aan di

ongenaakbare siekte.

Ek weet daar is verhale van hoop, van

mense wat kanker oorwin het. Dit bied n

mate van troos.

Al wat n mens kan hoop, is dat

daardie beker by jou verby sal gaan.

N

early 5 000 new homes will be built

and ready for occupation by 2020 in

Forest Village, Blue Downs news

that brings great joy to the local housing

committees.

EersteRiver andBlueDownshave ahigh

number of backyard dwellers, an issue that

has been on-going formany years. Housing

committees in the area now wish that this

will soon be a thing of the past thanks to

the construction of the Forest Village hous-

ing project.

Construction on sitewill commence soon

and take between three to four years to

complete, said ward 14 councillor Bert van

Dalen.

Van Dalen recently attended a meeting

with Western Cape human settlements

ministerBonginkosiMadikizela at the sub-

council chamber in Kuils River where the

latest news about the housing project was

shared.

There was a meeting with the minister

to clarify thematters of interest around the

provincial housing development in Forest

Village, ward 16, van Dalen said.

At the meeting it was stated that a total

of 4 820 houses will be developed in Forest

Village half of themmeant for the surplus

of the provinces N2 Gateway Housing

Project near Langa, and the other half

(2 321) to be allocated to ward 16 and the ad-

joining wards 17 and 108, van Dalen said.

He said 930unitswill be allocated toward

16, 930 to ward 17 and 461 to beneficiaries

in ward 108. A current housing project in

Bardale which falls under ward 108 is also

underway.

Van Dalen said it was envisaged that

1 200 housing opportunities will become

ready in the first half of 2017 and another

1 200 towards the end of 2017, with the rest

in the remaining period of the project.

Sofia Kannemeyer, a community worker

in Kleinvlei, said a prayer service was held

at the site on Saturday, 12 March.

We did it out of gratitude; the communi-

ty is glad that the project is finally kicking

off, she said.

In 2013 already we asked to receive

homes here. There were several commit-

tees that applied, she said.

We are very happy, Kannemeyer said.

T

he brand new school in Eerste River

which opened its doors at the start

of the 2016 academic year was offi-

cially launched last week.

The ceremony on Wednesday morning

at the new Forest Village Leadership

Academy was attended by senior educa-

tion department personnel including pro-

vincial education minister Debbie Sch-

fer.

Apart from the launch in Forest Vil-

lage, Schfer also handed over a second

school on Wednesday the Happy Valley

Primary School which was completed to-

wards the end of last year. Both schools

are part of the departments Collabora-

tion Schools Pilot Project.

We are pleased that we have been able

to deliver two beautiful schools that the

community can be proud of, and its

learners can thrive in, Schfer said.

Both schools cater for a maximum of

1 240 learners each.

The pilot programme started at the be-

ginning of the year. The education de-

partment in partnership with a group of

philanthropic donors launched the pro-

gramme as part of our broader efforts to

improve the educational outcomes of our

public schools in poorer communities

and underperforming schools.

Through the programme, the educa-

tion department aims to test a newmodel

of schooling that brings additional educa-

tion management skills and innovation

into the public school system, through

non-profit partnerships that improve the

quality of teaching and learning in no-fee

public schools, Schfer said.

These support organisations, called op-

erating partners, will ensure intensive

school-level support to teachers and prin-

cipals through training, additional re-

sources, monitoring and feedback.

The Mellon Educate Foundation and

the 2 Oceans Education Foundation are

two of the organisations that are current-

ly on board with the project.

Leerders by die Laerskool Kalkfontein is on-

langs verras en bederf deur n reeks boeke

wat aan hulle voorgelees is deur n gr. 8-leer-

der van die Academy Private School in

Kuilsrivier.

Die verrassing was deel van Nasionale Bi-

blioteekweek.

Monique Fourie (14), wat die gas by die

skool was tydensNasionale Biblioteekweek,

vier jaarliks di week deur plaaslike kleu-

ter- of laerskole in die gebied te besoek as

deel van haar Lief vir Lees-uitreikprojek.

By die Laerskool Kalkfontein het sy haar

besoek afgeskop deur paaseiers aan die

skoolhoof, Allan vanNiekerk, by sy kantoor

te oorhandig.

Daarna het sy by die skool se biblioteek

ingeloer en vir die graad 3-klas vertel hoe be-

langrik dit is om boeke te lees.

Monique het hulle ook n bietjie meer oor

stories vertel, hoe ombyhul plaaslikebiblio-

teek aan te sluit enhoe omboekemooi te ver-

sorg en op te pas. Ek s altyd vir die kinders

dat boeke jou beste vriende is.

Boeke maak jou slim en stimuleer jou

brein. Boeke neem jou na ver plekke en leer

jou ander mense en omgewings ken, s Mo-

nique.

N die lekker gekuier en gesels, het sy vir

die hele klas paaseiers uitgedeel en belowe

om hulle gou weer te besoek.

Die Universiteit Stellenbosch is op soek na

mense met sosiale angssteuring (SAS), of

diegene daarsonder, om deel te neem aan n

breinskanderingsnavorsingsprojek.

Die navorsing behels dat spesifieke net-

werkte in die brein betrokke is by die ma-

nierwaarop sosiale situasies verstaanword,

soos die identifisering van ander mense se

emosies terwyl jy by n partytjie met hulle

praat.

Daar word vermoed dat hierdie sosiale

netwerk anders is inmensemet SAS in ver-

gelyking met mense sonder SAS.

Die doel van die navorsing is om te kyk

watter effek behandeling vanSASop di net-

werk het. Die deelnemers gebruik medika-

sie wat reeds goedgekeur is vir gebruik in

sosiale angs, maar word dan ook onderwerp

aan neurosielkundige toetsing en MRI- en

PET-skanderings.

F

rom sampling indigenous bird life to his

blend of genres infused with tribal

echoes, Xavier Rudds music is an ethe-

real experience.

The Australian multi-instrumentalist will

be bringing his otherworldly sounds to Cape

Town next week when he performs at the

Parklife Festival on Monday 28 March.

Xavier grew up in what he calls a coastal

bush town in Australia where he was al-

ways teaching himself to play

the different instruments he

now surrounds himself with

on stage, like the guitar, har-

monica, yidaki,banjo, lap

steel guitar, percussion and

the didgeridoo.

The soft-spoken musician

says he was pretty shy to

start off with, but once he

started performing in front of

people, he just kept moving

forward. Today he travels the

world doing my thing.

Widely considered to be an

activist, Xaviers music car-

ries messages of social con-

sciousness, environmentalism and human

rights.

The impression of Aboriginal people here

in Australia is something thats always been

the closest to my heart.

Xavier feels a lot of lessons about racism

should have been learnt in South Africa al-

ready.

His experience of this country is based on

his exposure from working with the 60-year-

old Southern Sotho bassist Tio Moloantoa

Tio has shared his insights into apartheid

from his perspective.

Hewas always very humble and very pos-

itive and always said that South Africa was

the greatest place in the world.

For Xavier, the issue ismore about the big-

ger picture. Its always made to be a human

thing, he says.

Its about time that everyone just laid

down their weapons, so to speak, and just re-

membered our connection to land and look

after our land as one people.

Tio isnt the only SouthAfrican Xavier has

worked with. Together with percussionist

Andile Nqubezelo, Tio and Xavier released

Koonyum Sun as Xavier Rudd and Izintaba

in 2010. Tio also plays as a member of Xavier

Rudd and the United Nations, who released

Nanna last year. Xavier says the

group, made up of members from

around the world, came about

quite organically.

All the members just ap-

peared, pretty much.

Together, they share a message

of all people coming together

around the globe to return to spir-

it, respect the ancient ways and

protect the earth and the very es-

sence of creation.

Were all in this together and

this change needs to happen

around the world. We all need to

do whatever we can, it doesnt

matter what it is.

Akeensurfer,Xavier saysa lot of hismusic

was written in the water. I spend a lot of
