MEDIA FRENZY: CONGREGATION DRAGGED INTO SPOTLIGHT

Church disgraced

ANDR BAKKES

@andrebakkes

A

postolic overseer and senior pastor of

the New Direction Grace Church in

Parow, Peter Barnes, has vehemently

defended the church of any wrongdoing in

the crimes fellow pastor, Colin Davids, are

being accused of.

While scouring for evidence, the Hawks

apparently raided the church for informa-

tion that could build the case against Plat-

tekloofs Davids.

Not only did the church play no role in the

alleged crimes committedbyDavids, accord-

ing to Barnes, but it has also been dragged

into the spotlight by the media.

News of Davids arrest and bail hearing

were widely reported in the national media

over the last two weeks.

Davids, a New Direction Grace Church

pastor and the director of Platinum Forex

Group (PFG), was released on R100 000 bail

by the Bellville Magistrates Court on

Wednesday 22 June following his arrest by

the Hawks earlier on the day on charges of

contravening the FAIS Act and the Banks

Act.

Barnes says this is not entirely true.

There was an arrangement between the

authorities and Davids legal team for Da-

vids to come in (go to court) on that day. He

was never picked up. He went to the court

by himself, and theymade sure they brought

him up through the dock that it may look

like he was in jail. They then made sure the

mediawas informed to create amedia frenzy

and tomake it look likeDavidswas arrested.

We knew about everything two weeks prior

to the event, so to us there was no shock,

he elaborates.

Barnes goes on to defendhis colleague, but

emphasises cryptically that the ministry

stands next to Davids, not behind him.

Here are the facts: in our three years pri-

or to starting the church and in the seven

months of the existence of the church, weve

never in any church functionmentioned Fo-

rex, or asked anyone to joinForex, or invited

anyone to have a business meeting where

theywere told about Forex. I, inmypersonal

capacity, challenge any of Davids clients (to

say) whether any of them were introduced

to PFG by myself or were in any church

meeting where PFG were promoted, he ex-

plains. The church has, nonetheless, been

groupedwith thearrest ofDavids, and this

has seen Barnes leap to the defence of the

church itself.

ie Groter Tygerberg-vennootskap

(GTV) in oorlegmet die StadKaapstad

is besig om Stasieweg, ook bekend as

Station ArtCade, in Parow met straatkuns

van plaaslike kunstenaars wat ook interna-

sionaal erkenning verwerf het, as deel van

hul Art in Action-veldtog op te kikker.

Die kunstenaars is: See-Saw-Do aka Ms

Awesome, Ricky Lee Gordon aka Freddy

Sam, Jack Fox (17), Chris Auret (almal van

Kaapstad), Lwando Lese van Khayelitsha

en Wayne Beukes aka Conform van Mit-

chells Plain.

Vir jare is Stasiewegbekendvir sy stalle-

tjies deur informele handelaars en die GTV

wil graag die diversiteit van die gemeen-

skap wat daar werk, woon en handeldryf

deur middel van straatkuns uitbeeld. Die

kunstenaars het besluit om deur hul straat-

kuns hul vertolking van die tema Celebra-

ting Diversity Celebrating Our People in

vier verskillende en opwindende kunswer-

ke uit te beeld, het Chris OConnor, hoof-

uitvoerende beampte van die GTV, ges.

DieCobblersDen-winkel is eenvandiebe-

kendste bakens in Stasieweg en spog met

drie skilderye aan albei kante van die win-

kel. Die eienaar,wyleHariksonNarshi, was

n groot voorstander van die opgradering

van Stasieweg enhet sy gebou semure daar-

voor geskenk. Hy is ongelukkig in Desem-

ber verlede jaar tragies dood, maar sy fami-

lie het aangedring dat die derde muur ge-

skilder word ter nagedagtenis aan hom.

Oor die jare het oumas met hul kinders

en kleinkinders daar inkopies gedoen en as

jy met van die stalletjiehouers gesels, kom

jy agter daar is sekere bakens wat vir hulle

uitstaan en Cobblers Den is een van hulle.

Stasieweg is n smal straat en word as

deurgang tussen Voortrekkerweg en Pa-

row-stasie deur voetgangers gebruik en die

projek is deel van die die opgradering van

die Voortrekkerweg-korridor en die beoog-

de planne vir Parow.

Heelwat van die geboue in die arkade is

in n vervalle toestand en die Art in Action-

veldtog was daarop gemik om die openbare

ruimte en omliggende ruimtes tussen ge-

boue te verbeter deur middel van straat-

kuns.

Van die voordele behels die bydrae tot

stedelike verval deur die stimulasie tussen

kunstenaars, ontwerpers, stadsbeplanners,

sake-eienaars, inwoners en ontwikkelaars.

Dit sal dan ook beteken dat kuns en kuns-

werke uit museums en galerye verwyder

wordna n openbare area, het hy bygevoeg.

Die dinamiese subkulture in Stasieweg

word ook in die kleure van die vier skilde-

rye weergegee. Op n vraag waarom sulke

inisiatiewe aangepak word, het hy ges die

GTVhoopdat eienaarskap vandie area aan-

geneem word en ook dat die unieke en her-

kenbare karaktertrekke van n spesifieke

gebied uitgelig kan word. Dis ook deel van

die mooimaak van stedelike gebiede, het hy

ges.

Muurskilderye is n nuwe tendens w-

reldwyd en die publiek en die skilder gesels

gewoonlik oor die skilderye, die betekenis

daarvan en hoekom juis die spesifieke uit-

beeldings op die mure aangebring is.

Samesprekings is met al die partye be-

trokke by die projek gevoer en ons is dank-

baar vir die eienaars vandie gebouewat toe-

stemming gegee het dat die muurskilderye

daarop geverf kon word.

n Skildery is ook op die hoek van Victo-

riastraat en Stasieweg aangebring wat fo-

kus op die ontwikkeling van die kind. Wat

vir my opvallend is, is dat die publiek nie

die skilderye met graffiti bemors het nie,

maar dit so gelaat het soos die kunstenaars

dit geskilder het n bewys dat hulle eie-

naarskap van die verfraaiing vanStasieweg

aanvaar, het OConnor ges.

Hy het ook ges die straatkuns is vir die

gerief en genot van al die inwoners en om

sosiale en ekonomiesewelvaart inKaapstad

te verseker. Benewens die straatkuns en die

diversiteit van die stalletjiehouers, kan die

geskiedenis van Stasieweg nie verontag-

saam word nie.

Die publiek kan ook die cuisine van al die

lande wat in Stasieweg verteenwoordig is,

by die onderskeie restaurante gaan proe. Jy

leer nie net n ander kultuur nie, maar kan

dalk nnuwe fynproewervanuitheemsedis-

se word.

Met die Parow-vlooimark naby, kan jy

ook gaan snuffel vir winskopies.

Die uiteindelike doel is om die besoek

aan die straatkuns en restaurante in Stasie-

weg, deel te maak van n toeriste-aantrek-

kingskrag om geld in te bring, het OCon-

nor ges.

FROM PAGE 1

Theministry reaches out to themargina-

lised in Cape Town and was branded as a

church that uses ministry as a cover-up

to fuel illegal activities, when all we did

was just to simply preach the gospel ... We

were also branded heretical ... being ac-

cused of using the ministry to draw soft

targets to join a Ponzi scheme.

Almost three years before the incep-

tion of the church, when we were still

functioning as a para-ministry called

Grace Apostolic Ministry, we already

made a distinct difference between Da-

vids business and the ministry. I men-

tioned it several times that I was in the

business of ministry while Davids was in

the ministry of business.

Barnes has plenty to say about the char-

ges that were brought against his col-

league, who he reckons is innocent until

proven guilty.

Davids clients went to a reputable reg-

istered company with an established of-

fice, to an educated businessman who

holds a business degree fromStellenbosch

University, who has received several

awards in China and from the UK as one

of the best Forex Traders in Africa. The

accusations brought against Davids are

totally baseless and fabricated lies.

He says he finds it strange that authori-

ties investigated and collected evidence

formore than a year, and after everything

they only charged Davids with contraven-

ing the FAIS Act and the Banks Act.

But the two weightier allegations of

running a Ponzi Scheme andmoney laun-

dering are not on the charge sheet? How

do you explain that? Could it be that after

collecting evidence for an entire year, in-

stead of discovering a can of worms they

discovered a person of colour with a busi-

ness that was meticulously in place and

whose taxes were up to date?

Barnes concludes by saying that the

ministry felt the impact of the severe at-

tacks and character assassination, but

they are showing overwhelming unity

and support for Davids.

God has graced us to navigate through

the storm and we believe that He will vin-

dicate our innocence.

The arrest of pastor Colin Davids from New

Direction Grace Church has placed the

ministry in a bad light as well. Here he is

pictured with his wife, Charlyn.

P

arow North much like every suburb

in Cape Town is part of the wander-

ing bin scratcher route.

To curb the influx of bin scratchers into

the suburb, the Parow North Lower Neigh-

bourhood Watch has taken it upon them-

selves to profile the vagrants coming into

the area on refuse collection day on aThurs-

day.

Creating awareness in order to ensure

people only put out their bins on the morn-

ing of collection as opposed to the night be-

fore, has already been successful, says the

watch chairperson, Johan Hume.

There has been a big drop in the number

of bin scratchers to come into the area.

About 80% of the residents adhere to this

request, he adds.

There is nomagic bullet, however, so peo-

ple still wander into the area, regardless.

On Thursday we guarded the seven en-

trances into the suburb and profiled every

possible bin scratcher that came through.

Just our presence there perturbed some

from entering, he explains.

The problem, according to Hume and Par-

ow Community Policing Forum (CPF)

chairperson, Roger Cannon, is two-fold.

A possible criminal element entering the

suburb does exist, and also the aftermath of

some of the messier vagrants is clear to see

the next day.

The suburb looks terrible on aMonday,

says Hume before adding that some of the

bin scratchers will use the street as a toilet.

Cannon says despite an improvement in

the number of people who put their bins out

on the day of collection, too many still ig-

nore this request.

Our residents need to be more responsi-

ble and know that vagrants are lured into

the area on these days. The area is filthy the

next day, because some empty a bin and

dont even put the garbage back into the bin.

Some comewith five-litre liquor containers

and leave it around for all to see. Some even

bury these bottles in a park so that they can

retrieve it the next week, he says.

Some residents give them food, but just

the other day a vagrant stole the phone of

a woman who always gives him food, so

some bin scratchers simply cannot be trust-

ed.

Hume says the first of their bin ops last

week Thursday will certainly not be the

last.

We want to build up a database of va-

grants who move around in the suburb and

were well under way, he concludes.

Some of the bin scratchers in Parow North

leave a trail of garbage in their wake.

ANDR BAKKES

@andrebakkes

The hunter and the hunted need to evolve

together.

With criminals now targeting aluminium

widows as entry point into houses, potential

victims need to make it as hard as possible

for the felon to exploit the inherent weak-

ness in these popular windows.

With a blunt screwdriver it apparently

takes them just a few seconds to remove

your window.

So reckons Panorama, Welgelegen and

Plattekloof (PWP) Watchs Hannes Rud-

man, who has been part of a team that is

driving awareness around this subject in

these suburbs. This type of window is, how-

ever, a popular choice all over Cape Town,

so their message is desperately needed.

And judging by the amount of times the

post has been viewed on PWPWatchs Face-

bookpage, it is clear that thepublic is taking

their warning seriously.

In just one evening the post views went

from 1000 to 20 000, says Rudman.

Aluminium windows have certain ad-

vantages, such as the ease of installation

and the possible benefits that go with hav-

ing thicker glass, but keeping unwanted ele-

ments out is not one of them.

To exacerbatematters,manyof thesewin-

dows are only protected by security bars on

the pane that opens, and not on the adjacent

larger panes.

A spokesperson for Bothasig police, War-

rant Officer Jacques Mostert, says house-

breakings have been rising, which is con-

cerning.

He also admits that the issue surrounding

aluminium windows is a much wider prob-

lem than just Bothasig and surrounds.

Where it is financially possible, home

owners need to upgrade their alarm system.

It will not suffice if your alarmworks on the

concept that it will go off if someone opens

awindow, because the intruder removes the

entire panel without ever actually opening

the window. Security beams or eyes that

pick upmovement aremore efficient in this

regard, he explains.

Mostert adds that if one has been the vic-

timof someoneusing thismethod, then they

should be careful when handling the pane

of glass that has been removed.

Sometimes the intruder will take the

window glass with them so that we cant get

fingerprints. But sometimes they leave it

somewhere on the property. In such a sce-

nario the owner needs to handle the glass

very carefully, ensuring that they dont con-

taminate the fingerprints. They should also

make sure it doesnt lie in the rain.

Mostert says when replacing the glass, it

is best to have it done with silicone, which

is much more difficult to remove.

In essence, ensure that youre not the

softest target in the street.

van MES se Winterhoop-veldtog wat op

1 Junie begin het. In Bellville kan jy dit

by MES se kantoor in Daviesstraat gaan

aflewer.

Volgens Clarina Hanekom, woord-

voerder van MES, is die Winterhoop-

veldtog 16 jaar gelede van stapel gestuur

om die publiek aan temoedig omwinter-

klere en nie-bederfbare kos vir die min-

derbevoorregtes gedurende die winter-

maande in te samel.

Klere in n goeie toestand sooswinter-

jasse, handskoene, serpe en onderklere

maak n groot verskil in n straatmens se

lewe. Ons help met die vervaardiging

van plastiekslaapsakke wat uitgedeel

word om hulle nie net warm te hou nie,

maar ook droog, het sy ges.

Dieuitreikveldtog iswaaroordieMES-

om die straatmens te ontmoet op die spe-

sifieke plek waar hy/sy tans is.

Die gesprekke wat met hulle gevoer

word, gee ons kans om hulle meer van

MES en die sentrum te vertel waar hulle

gevalueer word. Dis ook waar die mees-

persoon voer n onderhoudmet diemaat-

Sodra die persoon die innamefase

deurgegaan het, word hy/sy weer deur

n multi-dissiplinre span gevalueer,

waarna n omgee-plan in oorleg met die

persoon saamgestel word.

MES stel dan n individuele ontwik-

kelingsplan (IOP) op om seker te maak

dat die omgee-plan uitgevoer word. Die

persoon word dan daarna na die verskil-

lende dienste in die organisasie verwys

as deel van die intervensie-fase van die

model. Dit alles bemagtig die persoon of

familie om die nodige oorlewingsvaar-

dighede aan te leer,wat hulle dan in staat

sal stel om hul toekomstige potensiaal te

ontwikkel, het sy ges.

Op n Facebook-blad, #HopeIsHere,

Geld wat tydens die veldtog ingesamel

word, sal onder die vier hoofvennote ver-

deel word om die dienste wat hulle bied,

te ondersteun. Al die kos en klere wat

ontvang is, sal verdeel word in die areas

waar die goedere ingesamel is.

D

ie Winterhoop-projek van MES in

Bellville het nog n hupstoot gekry toe

die Foschini-groep (TFG) n tjek van

R350 000 aan MES oorhandig het.

Volgens Arthur Muthari van MES is die

skenking moontlik gemaak danksy kom-

berse wat deur Foschini se vervaardigings-

arm, Prestige Clothing, gemaak is.

Foschini se leuse is: Om goed te doen,

sal nooit uit die mode raak nie. En by Pres-

tige Clothing, word werkloses opgelei en

nuwe vaardighede aangeleer. Foschini het

self n winterprojek gehad en hulle doel was

omhul bestaande hulpbronne te kombineer

met n gemeenskapsprojek vir minderbe-

voorregtes of diegene wat deur n ramp ge-

tref is, het Robyn Davids van Foschini ge-

s. Derhalwe is besluit om die werkloses te

leer om komberse te maak. Sodra die kom-

berse gemaak is, word dit dan geskenk.

Tydens ons projek het ons die personeel

aangemoedig om die komberse te koop en

dit dan te skenk. Ons hetMES as ons nie-re-

geringsorganisasie gekies, wat by die ver-

kope baat sou vind, en het gehoop om ten

minsteR50 000 in te samel.Diepersoneel het

ons stoutste verwagtinge oortref en altesa-

me R350 000 ingesamel. Ons is trots op die

personeel, want hulle het regtig die ware

gees van ubuntu uitgeleef met hul bydrae.

Dit is ook die hoeksteen van ons kultuur

hier by die Foschini-groep dat jy empatie

moet h met ander wat nie so bevoorreg

soos jy is nie. Die rede waarom onsMES ge-

kies het, is oor die ongelooflike werk wat

hulle met en vir straatmense daagliks in

Bellville en Parow doen, het sy ges.

Die groep se ontwerpspanhet die komber-

se se materiaal gekoop en dan is dit aange-

stuur na die opleidingsentrum in Maitland

waar dit volgens grootte gesny is. Daarna

word die gesnyde komberse vervoer na Ca-

ledon Prestige, waar dit aanmekaar gestik

word deur diegene wat opgelei word om

komberse te vervaardig. Sodra die kom-

bers vervaardig is,word dit by die organisa-

sie Gift of the Givers afgelewer en hulle ver-

sprei dit dan aan individue wat deur rampe

getref is. Tot op hede het ons 20 000 komber-

se vervaardig,maar ons doelwit is om n by-

komende 40 000 komberse voor die einde

van die jaar te vervaardig. Ons doen regtig

ons leuse gestand,want omgoed te doen, sal

nooit uit die mode raak nie, s Robyn.

OPENBARE KENNISGEWING VAN

PRESTASIEOOREENKOMSTE

VIR STAD KAAPSTAD SE ARTIKEL

57WERKNEMERS

T

he City of Cape Town has allocated

about R350 million in the 2016/17 fi-

nancial year for infrastructure pro-

jects in the Voortrekker Road Corridor

(VRC) as part of its ongoing efforts to revi-

talise this substantial area.

The infrastructure and public space up-

grade projects, some of which are already

underway, include R51 million for the Oak-

dale Main Substation (Phase 2), R65 million

for the Bellville Wastewater Treatment

Works Facility, R5 million for the upgrade

of the Bellville Public Transport Inter-

change, R2million for CCTV installation in

Goodwood, R4.5 million for the Maitland

Cemetery upgrade, and R2 million for the

Elsieskraal River upgrade (from Elizabeth

Park to Jack Muller Park).

This investment is over and above the

normal City funded service delivery alloca-

tions to this areaandaims to improveurban

conditions and to unlock a range of invest-

ment opportunities in future.

The core belief that underpins our ef-

forts in this important part of our metro is

that strategic public spending will encour-

age further development and investment

fromtheprivate sector, saysJohanvander

Merwe,Maycomember for energy, environ-

mental and spatial planning.

Our targeted investment drive in infra-

structure and public space upgrades aims

not only to lay a solid and attractive founda-

tion for further private sector investment,

but also shows our commitment to enhanc-

ing the second largest central business dis-

trict area in the metro and its surrounds.

Only through the strong partnerships that

we are seeing in this corridor will we truly

reach the catalytic change that we are envi-

sioning for this zone.

The Integrated City Development Grant,

which is being used to fund this large-scale

investment, provides the eight metropoli-

tan municipalities with incentives to im-

prove spatial development considerations

in their budgeting in support of integrated,

inclusive development that is public trans-

port oriented. To qualify for this grant fund-

ing, cities are required to identify integra-

tion zones in which the funding is due to be

spent. The Metro South-East and the VRC

have been the two nominated regions with-

in Cape Town.

The first phase of infrastructure up-

grades, as part of this grant, commenced in

the 2014/15 financial year with projects

such as the water and sanitation depart-

ments northern region sludge facility and

the electricity services departments Plat-

tekloof N1 substation reinforcement.

Our efforts here would not be half as ef-

fective without the cooperation of resi-

dents, our community partners, and the

Greater Tygerberg Partnership, which is

key in facilitating relationships between

small and medium businesses and the pub-

lic sector, and the Voortrekker Road Cen-

tral Improvement District (VRCID). The

Mayoral Urban Regeneration Programme

is also an active lever for our revitalisation

efforts in this area, says Van der Merwe.

This is not a theoretical exercise. Re-

sults are being seen, he adds.

he De Grendel Restaurant has

scooped the award for the Best

Scenic Restaurant (Luxury

Setting) in South Africa at the 2016

World Luxury Restaurant Awards.

The unique factors making De

Grendel Restaurant a coveted Cape

Winelands destination were high-

lighted as its unparalleled view of

Table Mountain, a selection of

wines that are perfectly paired to

the dishes, and a menu that is re-

freshed daily to incorporate vegeta-

bles from the estates gardens.

The unparalleled view of Table

Mountain as well as De Grendel

farm from the restaurant is what re-

ally sets us apart. The mountain

changes all the time its like a liv-

ing image board, says owner SirDe

Villiers Graaff.

Besides the breathtaking view

over Table Mountain the farm is al-

so home to an array of wildlife such

as springbok and bontebok, as well

as families of ducks, sheep and cat-

tle, which guests can observe while

relaxing in the restaurant or the

tasting lounge. All ingredients are

sourced locally from only the best

suppliers. The Capes unique culi-

nary heritage is reflected on the

menu and guests can experience lo-

cal flavours and innovative dishes

such as Brandy and Coke ice-cream

never before seen on South African

menus.

gives local artisan produce an

inventive modern twist.Relaxing views all around from the De Grendel restaurant.

The City of Cape Town has ac-

quired 32 baby simulators for use

as part of the its substance abuse

programme in schools.

The programme forms part of

theCitys social development and

early childhood development di-

rectorate substance abuse pro-

gramme for children.

Citys Mayco member council-

lor Suzette Little, says the direct-

orate started the acquisition

process in 2015 and took delivery

of the simulators a few months

ago.

Little says each of its eight dis-

tricts will receive four simula-

tors including a healthy baby

simulator, substance abuse ad-

diction simulator, foetal alcohol

syndrome simulator, and a

shakenbaby syndrome simula-

tor.

The simulators are able to il-

lustrate quite vividly the impact

of substance abuse during preg-

nancy and the effects of child

abuse as well as the fact that par-

enting is no walk in the park,

she says.

It is an unconventional meth-

od, but a pilot project last year

showed that it works, she adds.

Little says the City has various

programmes in place designed to

address substance abuse, focus-

ing on suppression through en-

forcement by the safety and secu-

rity directorate, intervention

through treatment by City

health, and prevention which is

the responsibility of the social de-

velopment and early childhood

development directorate.

The key projects in the direct-

orates Substance Abuse Pro-

gramme foster inter-personal

and intra-personal skills for pri-

mary schools learners with a fo-

cus on emotional intelligence,

communication skills, self-es-

teem, respect for others, and how

to handle peer pressure and bul-

lying, she says.

Baby abuse simulated

Elke week is so besig soos

die vorige een by Tyger-

berg-dienssentrum vir be-

jaardes en mobiele etes,

maar dit voel nietemin as-

of hulle di afgelope week

of twee buitengewoon be-

drywig was.

Die eerste van die orga-

nisasie sewinter-Kersetes

is in Bellville-Suid gehou.

Toe het twee oud-Tyger-

berg-kinderkoorlede na

die sentrumgekomomdie

bejaardes te vermaak.

Laastens het n groot getal

egpare wat nou al langer

as 50 jaar getroud is, saamgetrek vir

fotos.

Die seniors is n voorbeeld vir

ons jongmense, s LindaLouw, die

organisasie se bestuurder.

Toe hulle gevra is wat die resep

vir n suksesvolle huwelik is, was

die antwoorde kordaat en reguit:

Ons is nog steeds verlief opmekaar;

ons het saam n belofte gemaak;

wees eerlik met mekaar; maak vre-

de voordat jy gaan slaap; en ek kan

niemand anders met hom/haar ver-

gelyk nie. Wat n voorbeeld vir ons

jonger geslag! Die sentrum is so

trots om sulke voorbeeldige men-

tors te kan h.

Tydens die geleentheid om eer te

bring aan hierdie egpare het gaste

sommer ook die oudste lid van die

sentrum, Thea Koch, se 98ste ver-

jaardag gevier.

Lisa en Karla Brits het gedurende

die geleentheid die gastemet pragti-

ge sang en harpmusiek vermaak.

Lisa speel die harp al sedert sy

vyf jaar oud is en dit was vir almal

n absolute belewenis om te sien hoe

sy daardie instrument bemeester.

Vir die sentrum is dit wonderlik dat

die talentvolle meisies tyd in hul

skoolvakansie afstaan om dit met

die bejaardes te deel, het Louw ge-

s.

Voorts het die sentrumse grootste

voedingsprojek in n behoeftige

area vlot verloop toe 510 winter-

Kersetes deur agt senior lede opge-

skep en in houers verpak is.

Daar was groot opgewondenheid

onder hierdie bejaardes met die op-

skep van die etes, want almal het

uitgesien om dit self aan behoeftige

bejaardes en kinders by Proteaville

se sport- en rekreasiesentrum in

Bellville-Suid te gaan uitdeel.

n Halfuur voor die vertrek is hul-

le egter deur die sentrum se kordi-

neerders ingelig dat daar onluste in

die omgewing is en toe moes die be-

stuur vinnig ander relings tref.

Daar is besluit dat die seniors

bly, maar die etes is wel deur die be-

stuur en kordineerders in n ander

area onder behoeftiges uitgedeel.

Gesiggies het gestraal en die be-

stuur het weer eens besef hoe be-

voorreg hulle is om so n gemeen-

skapsuitreikprojek van stapel te

stuur, s Louw.

T

wo music fans have started a

new project which they hope

might revolutionise the South

African live music industry.

Inspired by an American crowd-

funding campaign, SeaPoints Rich-

ard Theunissen and Stuart Walsh

from Parklands recently launched

their website Inbound Sound.

In a nutshell the website gives

music fans the opportunity to re-

quest the artists they want to see

live in their city.

Stuart and I are big fans of the

Foo Fighters, Richard explains.

We got wind of a concert that was

crowdfunded in America two years

ago and that was before it was an-

nounced that they would be coming

to South Africa.

At that stage, crowd funding was

still a relativelynewconcept, andal-

though its grown generally on a

global scale, Richard points out that

its still relatively new in SA.

People are a little sceptical. Gen-

erally the first question they ask is:

Why do we need to give our money

away first?, and its understanda-

ble.

Richard explains that he and Stu-

art see their role in the industry as

educators on the benefits of crowd-

funding while empowering fans to

make concerts happen. He says

many music fans seem to be frus-

trated with not being able to see

their favourite acts live.

Inbound Sound allows fans to re-

quest a concert by any artists,

across genres, whether they are lo-

cal or international, commercial or

lesser-known.

Once a concert has been request-

ed, Richard and Stuart, working

with industry insiders, calculate

how much would need to be raised

to set the concert up and the show

is opened to pledges from other fans

who may also want to see the show.

Fanswho pledge a contribution to

the concert have essentially already

bought their tickets and once

enough funds have

been raised, Rich-

ard and Stuart will

work with promo-

tors to bring the act

to local shores. We

are basically just

providing the plat-

form.

Should they not

be able to raise the

funds needed, fans

will be able to get a

full refund, making

sure they dont pay

for a show they

wont see.

The feedback

weve received [so

far] has been phe-

nomenal, and thats

very encouraging were on to

something that people want.

While many of the shows already

requested on the website are for in-

ternational acts, Richard says:

Were big on local music. In fact,

theyre hoping their first success

story will be staging a show for a

local act. The local music scene,

both mainstream and niche, is mas-

sive, and we want to tap into that.

The duo are already in talks with

local artists and while Richard says

itmay take a couple ofmonths to get

the first concert off the ground,

once that first concert has hap-

pened, its basically going to revolu-

tionise where and when artists play

locally.

Because they are dealing with

other peoples money, Stuart and

Richard were very focused on mak-

ing sure that everythingwas above

board and as transparent and open

as possible when they created the

website.

Users need to log

in on the site be-

fore making pledg-

es and Richard as-

sures that shows

wont be left on a

site indefinitely. If

a proposed concert

hasnt gained mo-

mentum after a

fewmonths, theyll

take the show off

and refund the us-

ers who have

pledged. Users can

also request a re-

fund at any point,

should their per-

sonal financial sit-

uation changes.

Were not look-

ing to take advantage.

Richard also stresses that In-

bound Sounds core function is to be

a crowdfunding site. They want to

work with promotors and venues,

but have no aspirations of taking

over their roles.

Inbound Sounds role rather, is

giving fans a voice and a choice.

Historically theyve never had a

say, he says of the acts who travel

to South Africa. All you need is a

lot of people with the same idea.

The first Via Afrika Tabtor

Maths eLearning Centre

opened its doors at the Cob-

ble Walk Shopping Centre

in Durbanville.

TabtorMaths has been in

partnership with educa-

tional publishers Via Afri-

ka tomake its unique tutor-

ing technology on tablets

available locally for stu-

dents from grades R to six.

The opening of the Cobble

Walk facility gives learners

who do not otherwise have

access to tablets the oppor-

tunity to benefit from this

technology.

At the launch event held

on Thursday 30 June Mich-

ael Goodman, the acting

CEO of Via Afrika ex-

pressed the need to address

the Information and Com-

munications Technology

divide in South Africa.

The founder and CEO of

Tabtor, Raj Valli, said he

was in the business of GDP

creation and without ed-

ucation society cannot

achieve economic prosperi-

ty and sustainability.

With Tabtor, we see a 50% im-

provement in learning speed and

a 65% improvement in answer ac-

curacy.

The feature that makes this app

unique is that there is a real tutor

available for every child to work

with on a one-to-one basis on the

tablet. The tutors review, mark

and provide customised feedback

for every maths worksheet the

child completes. The first step in

the process is for the child to com-

plete a diagnostic assessment

whereby their skills will be

matched to the appropriate maths

level. The specialist tutors

many are retired teachers

with a wealth of experience

are then able to structure

maths assignments to the

individual child.

While the child solves the

maths problems on the tab-

let with their finger or sty-

lus, the digital paper tech-

nology tracks each stroke

and even calculates the

time spent on each task.

Since the tutors can actual-

ly see each step when they

mark the work, they can

provide valuable individu-

al feedback. This in-depth

analysis allows the tutors

to understand where a

learner may be struggling

and needs intervention.

Worksheets contain vid-

eo tutorials to develop con-

cepts, and tutors can pro-

vide personalised videos

and voice messages to take

understanding further.

Tutors personally mark

and review each maths

worksheet within 24 hours

of receiving it, and parents

receive a weekly report to

monitor their childs

progress. In addition to

worksheets, there are tests at ap-

propriate milestones to confirm

understanding of the mathemati-

cal concepts before learners move

on to new material.

English and Afrikaans. Visit www.viaafri-

Pinehurst School, how the app works. With them

S

ake-ondernemimgs en individue in

Bellville en omgewing wat nog nie be-

sluit het wat om op Mandeladag

(Maandag 18 Julie) te doen nie, kan n inlig-

tingsessie byBadisa se kantoor in Pastorie-

straat bywoon of betrokke raak by die pro-

jekte wat aandag nodig het.

Die twee inligtingsessies word van 13:00

tot 14:00 en 18:00 tot 19:00 aangebied.

Ons wil die publiek meer bewus maak

van ons vrywillige werk by verskeie orga-

nisasies in die Tygerberg-area. Die drie

projekte wat ons vir die dag aangeneem

het, is die Uit en Tuis-dagsorgsentrum, die

Badisa Trio en Ramot-behandelingsen-

trum, het Annemarie Bezuidenhout,

woordvoerder van Badisa, ges.

Die Badisa Trio inBellville, Kraaifontein

en Scottsdene lewer maatskaplike dienste

in die gebiede en het n dagsorgsentrum

Mresterretjies, wat individue, gesinne en

gemeenskappe bemagtig.

Die Uit en Tuis-dagsorgsentrum in Voor-

trekkerweg, Vasco, het 120 kleuters wat uit

verskillende gemeenskappe kom. Daar is

tien klaskamers en elf onderwysers en een

aflos-onderwyser.Die ouderdommevandie

kinders wissel tussen drie maande en vyf

jaar en die vyfjariges word as graad R-leer-

ders by n plaaslike laerskool ingeskryf.

By Uit en Tuis, wat een van Badisa se

projekte is, probeer ons om teen n bekos-

tigbare fooi n goeie diens aan die kinders

te lewer. Ons wil graag die klaskamers uit-

verf op Mandeladag en soek skenkings vir

verf en vrywilligers, het Bezuidenhout by-

gevoeg.

By Badisa Trio word gemeenskappe be-

magtig deur omvattende gemeenskapsge-

rigte programme om mense te versorg en

optimaal te ontwikkel vir n beter lewe.

Die kantore inBellville en Scottsdene se

betonmuur het n goeie afspuit- en skoon-

maaksessie nodig. Bellville en Kraaifon-

tein se staalvensterrame moet afgeskuur

en oorgeverf word. Ons soek ook vrywilli-

gers om sement in die agterplaas by ons

Bellville-kantoor te gooi en ook om een kan-

toor daar klankdig te maak. As daar mense

iswat gordynrelings vir onsBellville-kantoor

kan borg en ook ons Kraaifontein-kantoor

kan uitverf, sal dit waardeer word, s Bezui-

denhout. n Geskenkpakkie bestaande uit

koekies, aartappelskyfies, lekkers, sjokola-

de, grondbone en drovrugte,wil Badisa aan

die pasinte by Ramot-behandelingsentrum

oorhandig. By Ramot is die pasinte altyd

honger terwyl hulle onttrekkingsimptome

het, veral vir iets soets. Allesmoet net verse-

l wees en geen alkohol of dwelms bevat nie.

Nie almal se familie is naby om vir hul snoe-

perye in te bring nie en ander is te arm of

bloot teensinnig om iets te skenk.

LEWENSKIEKIE

Insekte keer

dat ek verskil

konmaak

Hope springs eternal.

Hierdie Alexander Pope-aanhaling het

onlangs by my opgekom toe die ouens

wat my beroof het, binne dae vasgetrek

is. Nie vir die aanval op my nie, maar

tog. Sjoe, dink ek toe, ons polisiediens is

nie so sleg soos mense hulle uitmaak nie.

Uit die aard van my werk word ek baie

met misdaad gekonfronteer, maar meer

as n toeskouer. Iemand wat van buite

inkyk en die situasie net op sigwaarde

beoordeel. Die beweerde onbeholpenheid

van die polisie kan tog nie so erg wees

dat mense eerder hul vertroue in privaat

sekerheidsmaatskappye sal plaas nie? Ons

betaal tog belasting sodat die manne en

vroue in blou ons kan beskerm en dien?

Die spoed waarmee my aanvallers

aangekeer is, het my laat glo dat daar

ook hoop vir ander staatsinstellings is.

Dat die nasionale uitsaaier sal ophou om

sensuur toe te pas en dat sy matrieklose

baas sal waai. Dat ons belerde president

die leisels sal

neerl as hy nog n

greintjie integriteit

oor het.

Ek het begin glo

dat die Springbok-

ke soos die Lions,

en beter nog, soos

die Nieu-Seelanders

sal begin rugby

speel. Dat hulle

kan pass en skop

en tkkel.

Daarna het ek

begin glo dat my

agtjarige klong sy

skoolloopbaan in sy

moedertaal kan voltooi. Dat hy eendag, al

is dit net in sy tuisprovinsie, kan gaan

studeer in die taal wat hy uit moeder-

skoot praat. My geloof was so sterk dat

ek seker was rassisme, in al sy vorme,

kan uitgeroei word. Dat alle skakerings

van ons renboognasie een gemeenskapli-

ke doel, om in vrede en harmonie te kan

saamleef, moet h. Ek het geglo kinders

op die Vlakte hoef nie meer doodgeskiet

en vroue verkrag te word nie.

Dit is meer as n maand n ek beroof

is, die ouens gevang is en n die polisie

ges het ek kan my aanvallers kom

uitken. Die eerste keer kon ek nie gaan

nie, want alle speurders het rusdae

gehad. Die volgende keer was hulle by n

afskeid van n kollega. n Ander keer is

die speurkantore met gif bespuit om

insekte te dood. Hoeveel ander mense het

nie intussen slagoffers van di gewetenlo-

se misdadigers geword nie, terwyl ek

hulle kon uitken? Ek is nie belangriker

as ander slagoffers nie, maar kon n

bydrae maak om boewe van die straat te

kry.

Hope springs... Brenden Ruiter..

Nobody can deny that

alcoholism has reached

epidemic proportions not

only in SA, but all over the

world.

The amount of man hours

lost to business due to not

pitching up for work on a

Monday being sick is huge

and 99% of the people are

suffering from hangovers.

Kids are not being moni-

tored anymore as to the age

they are served alcohol.

Death on the roads has

reached peak limits due to

drinking and driving.

I think this thing at pubs

and bars offering a happy

hour where for an hour or

so, you can benefit from

drinks being ordered at half

price, is despicable. Patrons

down as much as they can in

the shortest possible time,

then go onto the roads.

Where are the cops to

catch these people before

they start driving?

They know that they are

doing this at these public

houses where drinking is

rampant.

To be inebriated is now

considered cool! No thought

is given to consequences at

all.

If you drink, stay at home

and go to bed in your own

home, or phone Uber!

morning peak hour traffic

between 6:00 and 7:00, several

taxis are skipping the two-

down Blaauwberg Road to

like to acknowledge the stellar

service that I received from

the following individuals:

Malicka (administration),

Sister Margaret, Sister

Francis, Sister De Kock, as

well as Enoch, the security

officer, at the entrance.

friendly young lady at the

administration desk/counter,

was very understanding and

listened attentively as I

explained the situation I

found myself in, and didnt

questions, regarding schedul-

Tygerberg ons gehelp het.

Hulle was so professioneel en

het so mooi vir my seun

verduidelik wat hulle gaan

doen en almal was so vriende-

lik.

Vir Beryl Mathys wil ek

baie dankie s vir die omgee.

Ek kan sien dit is haar passie

om met mense te werk en nie

net n werk nie. En vir die

dokter (kan nie sy naam

onthou nie) baie dankie vir

die goeie werk. Ek het nog

nooit so iets beleef nie.

Dis nou n week later en

my seun het sy pille gedrink

en het tot vandag nog nie

pyn gehad nie. Sy tande was

heel skeef in sy kaak en een

het in sy sinusholte ingegroei.

Ek het eendag daarheen

gebel om iets uit te vind oor

sy tande en dokter Johnson

was so vriendelik. Hy het ook

alles baie mooi verduidelik

sonder om my af te jak. Hy

het tyd gehad vir my pro-

bleem.

Mag die Here julle werklik

sen vir julle goeie werk en

hou daarmee vol.

E-pos

Mygeloofwas

so sterk dat

ek sekerwas

rassisme, in al

sy vorme, kan

uitgeroeiword

ing appointments, the time

you need to be at the facility,

at which window you need

to drop your yellow card.

For a while, it felt like no one

quite knew who to direct me

to, but that was resolved.

On a certain day, while I

was waiting at the administra-

tion desk, Malicka started

searching through page after

page of appointments for the

doctor, scheduled for that day.

For a brief moment, I had a

glimpse of the workload that

the doctor at Parow Commu-

nity Health Clinic (Doctor

Muhammed) was subjected to,

and I developed respect for

the other health care profes-

sionals at the facility as well.

Considering the number of

patients who receive treat-

ment at the facility, I think

Doctor Muhammed is highly

competent, knowledgeable,

and well versed in her field.

On one occasion, when I was

the last person to be treated

for the day, she conducted a

thorough examination before

making any diagnosis regard-

ing an infection I had in my

throat.

While I was waiting, near

the section where mothers sat

with their babies, it was

refreshing to listen to one of

the nurses, expressing her

desire to give the best medical

treatment to the babies, when

she remarked, each life

matters. Those words echoed

throughout the day. She

recounted how she catches

bullets and how God keeps

her, since she lives in an area

that has been affected by

violence.

There were very unsettling

moments too, and the stark

reality of the unhealthy

dependency on medication,

and also the helplessness of

people whose health had

deteriorated to such a meas-

ure that it affected their

physical appearance.

I do not necessarily agree

with every single diagnosis

made, and every prescription,

administered by health care

professionals, because all the

years of medical training

have not immunised any

sister/nurse/doctor against

making a misdiagnosis.

They are people too, who

are capable of making errors.

The health care professionals

at our day hospitals/clinics

experience great levels of

pressure and strain, at times,

and thus I think that every

patient needs to try to

become knowledgeable about

the type of medication that

has been prescribed to them,

to the measure that it is

possible, and not solely rely

on a prognosis.

Many people know what it

is like to be the patient, but

only a few know what it is

like to be the doctor or nurse.

Despite the reports of poor

health administration that

still travel down the hallways

of day hospitals, I think we

still need to respect the

sacrifice of our health care

professionals.

Yes, there were moments of

gloom and doom at Parow

Community Health Centre/

Clinic, but the music that

played the loudest in my ears

at this facility, was pomp and

praise!

Swift Redemption

offers new sound

LOUISA STEYL

@lousteyl

W

hat do you get when you put a group

of musicians from vastly different

musical genres together in one

band?

The answer is northern suburbs A Swift

Redemption who describe their music as

post-grunge alternative rock. Add pro-

gressive guitar riffs and a violin and youll

find a sound reminiscent of early 2000s

bands like Seether, Fuel and System of a

Down, yet still unique.

ASwift Redemption got their start in early

2015 after frontman Stephen Brink-Jones

wrote a song Stand Alone as a tribute to

his brother Michael, who passed away the

year before. Stephen, who has played for a

few local metal bands, realised that he had

a lot of his own material that hed simply

never played before. He always pushed me

to play my music, he says of his brother.

So, with this inmind, he put out a call to find

musicians for anewband. Facebook is your

friend, he jokes.

JoinedbyEmileMaritz on lead guitar, Tri-

cia Theunissen on violin, Cole Grainger on

drums and Christo Bester on bass, A Swift

Redemption set about recording their first

album in October, before playing their first

show in Durbanville in November.

Nostalgia, their 10-track release, was re-

corded and produced by Ruan Jordaan of lo-

cal metal band Megalodon and released in

April this year.

Based on his experiences with previous

bands, Stephen explains that this time

round he wanted to have a product to offer

before they started seriously performing. I

thought that it would be a better idea to have

people actually know what you sound like

before they just come out to see you.

A lot of people, if they really like a song,

they are going to come to a show in anticipa-

tion of that song, he continues, before Tri-

cia adds: And sing along, which is some-

thing theyve experienced at their gigs late-

ly.

Christo describes Nostalgia as pretty

mucheveryadjectiveyoucan thinkof, add-

ing that fans have said they enjoy the diver-

sity of their sound. Tricias violin adds a

unique twist to their brand of rock.

Since releasing Nostalgia, they have been

trying to advertise the band and gig asmuch

as possible.

Theyve released a music video for the

song Save me some while some of their

music has been playlisted on MFM 92.6 and

Zone Radio.

Its nice that the album is out; the hard

work is done, Cole says: Now its basically

just having fun.

He points out that the band has only really

played venues in Durbanville, Bellville and

Observatory so far. We havent really cov-

ered the Western Cape, which is something

we want to do.

Theyll addanewvenue to their list onSat-

urday (9 July) when they share the stage

with Verona Walls and Dustland Express
