    A struggle ensued as the resident fought desperately

    Commuterunable to

    reclaim stolen car

    NICOLE MCCAIN

    After his car was stolen, a Strand man

    was shocked to see an almost identical

    car go on sale only a day later.

    Peter Bester parked his VW Fox at the

    Strand train station on 4April at 05:15 and

    when he returned after 18:00 his car was

    gone. Bester, who reported a case of theft

    at the Strandpolicewas surprised, howev-

    er, to see an advert for what he claims is

    his car on the website Gumtree the next

    day.

    Bester alerted the police, and he and the

    investigation officer went to see the car.

    Bester identified severalmarks and stains

    in the interior of the carwhich he says his

    car had, such as a tear on the upholstery

    on the drivers seat. However, the investi-

    gating officer checked the licence disk and

    pronounced the man selling the car to be

    the legitimate owner.

    Bester says the police officer did not

    check thecarspapers, theenginenumber,

    or the chassis number.

    Constable Mbulelo Mafuna, spokesper-

    son for the Strand police, says to establish

    the ownership of a vehicle police check

    ownership papers, on which the chassis

    and engine numbers will appear. These

    match the numbers found on the vehicle.

    Bester, feeling helpless after the inci-

    dent, contacted DistrictMail, who in turn

    enquired what procedures the police had

    followed. Mafuna confirmed that the car

    had been impounded after the District-

    Mailsenquiry,andmaintains thecardoes

    not belong to Bester.

    I can confirm that the investigating of-

    ficer did view the vehicle andmade the de-

    cision that the vehicle he viewed was not

    the vehicle reported as stolen fromMr Be-

    ster.Wewentastep furtherafter receiving

    this query and Mr Bester, the previous

    owner, thenewownerandavehicle identi-

    fication specialist were called in at SAPS

    Strand on Tuesday afternoon.The special-

    istalsoconfirmedthedecisionmadebythe

    investigating officer.

    Besters response was disbelief. I still

    think that car is mine.

    Mall victim: psychiatric evaluation

    Allan Mayne, the man who claimed he had

    beenattacked in theundergroundparking ar-

    ea of SomersetMall, has been sent for psychi-

    atric evaluation.

    Mayne made his first court appearance for

    the year onThursday 28March, after the case

    had been postponed from 7 November 2012.

    Last year, the DistrictMail reported of the

    mass hysteria that prevailed in the Helder-

    bergwhenamessageclaimingamanhadbeen

    brutally stabbed at the SomersetMall, spread

    rapidly among various social media net-

    works, including Facebook, instant messag-

    ing services such as BBM, Whatsapp, as well

    as email, after Tuesday 12 June 2012.

    The security footage shows a mans arm

    movinginastabbingmotiontowardshisbody

    at 19:08. After a few minutes, he struggles to

    get up and then falls over the railing near the

    circle at theundergroundparking section.He

    was found there a few hours later and taken

    to hospital.

    Police were informed of the incident, and

    on Friday 22 June 2012, Mayne was arrested

    athishomeinSomersetWest.Hewascharged

    with defeating the ends of justice.

    He made his first court appearance in the

    SomersetWestmagistrates courtonthesame

    day and was released on R1 000 bail.

    According to Const Suzan Jantjies, spokes-

    person for Somerset West SAPS, the next

    court date has not been determined yet. His

    in die Strand gekuier het. Die neef was glo

    teenwoordig en het geskree dat die aanvaller

    nie vir Jon-Morgan met die mes moet steek

    nie. Die neef, wat n ooggetuie is, het ook na

    bewering by Jon-Morgan gewag totdat die po-

    lisie en paramedici opgedaag het.

    approached him with firearms

    and started shooting at him.

    The suspectsmade off with an

    undisclosed amount of money.

    In nog n soortgelyke voorval het

    ongeveer R15 000 se juweliersware

    uit diehuis van nSomerset-Wes-in-

    is dit dieselfde paartjie.

    In die mees onlangse voorval het

    Strand-inwoner Erika Muller se

    beursie met n onbekende bedrag

    geld en al haar kaarte uit haar Van

    der Bylstraat-huis verdwyn.

    VolgensMuller het twee vroue en

    n man Donderdag 4 April om-

    blykbaar op aanbeveling van n

    sy sou om 16:00 tuis wees vir n be-

    soeker, na haar huis kom kyk.

    Ek het pas van die winkel af ge-

    by my handsak uitkom, ontdek ek

    my beursie is skoonveld.

    Sy het in haar motor gespring en

    die drie probeer opspoor, maar te-

    vergeefs. Sy het onthou dat die drie

    ges het hul motor word deur Toyo-

    ta in die Gants-sentrum herstel.

    Daar gekom, het die personeel egter

    niks geweet van mense wat aan di

    Did police double-park for shopping?

    A DistrictMail reader became hot under

    the collar last week after a police vehicle

    double-parked in Beach Road, Strand so

    that the officers could go shopping.

    The reader, FrancoisKuhn, sayshewas

    parked in Beach Road, Strand, near KFC

    at 17:50 on Monday 1 April when he saw

    this.

    He claims the police van made a U-turn

    in themiddle of the street and thenparked

    next tohis carand thevehiclebehindhim,

    which were parallel parked.

    The officers then got out of the vehicle

    to do some shopping at the R5 Market.

    They shopped for about 5 minutes, after

    which they got back into their vehicle and

    drove off, Kuhn recalls, adding that the

    police van almost hit a white Hyundai i20

    as they left.

    Const Mbulelo Mafuna, spokesperson

    for Strand SAPS, elaborated on the cir-

    cumstances surrounding the incident,

    claiming the officers were responding to

    a complaint.

    We investigated the incident and

    found two of our vehicles responded to a

    complaint. The policemen double- parked

    not to cause any inconvenience, but be-

    cause there was no other parking availa-

    ble.

    He added that the complaint the officer

    wasattendingtoalsodemandedurgentpo-

    lice intervention. The public should bear

    in mind that when officers of the law re-

    spond to complaints, parking space is not

    always available.

    Police officers never know what is

    waiting for them when they are called on

    to assist. We need to respond to the com-

    plaint quickly, without breaching the

    publics safety or causing inconven-

    ience.

    Cityopposes toll project

    NIKITA SYLVESTER

    Following the ongoing dispute regarding

    the South African Roads Agency Limit-

    eds (Sanral) proposed N1/N2 Winelands

    Toll Highway project, the City of Cape

    Town have now filed an urgent applica-

    tion for an interdict.

    Aspreviously reportedby theDistrictMail,

    Sanral inrecentyearsproposed theconstruc-

    tionof six toll plazason twoof theCitysmain

    highways, the N1 and N2.

    Sanrals reasons for the urgency to imple-

    ment the toll road projectwas that they need-

    ed to upgrade and maintain the road and ad-

    dress safety concerns.

    Through our own investigation, those

    purported reasonshave proven to be ground-

    less and exaggerated, said Citys Mayco

    member for transport, roads and stormwater

    Brett Herron. According to Herron the inter-

    dict application will be heard in theWestern

    Cape High Court on 16 May, when the City

    will seekanordertoprohibitSanral fromtak-

    inganystepstoimplementtheirproposedtoll

    road project.

    About a month ago Sanral informed the

    City that they intendproceedingwith the toll

    project. Herron said that this action is still

    pending as Sanral has failed to provide the

    Citywithacomplete recordofdocuments rel-

    evant to the toll road project, including how

    much the project will cost and what the toll

    fees are likely to be. Its obstructive and se-

    cretive conduct is a cause for alarm. Its exag-

    gerated claims that theN1 andN2 are in dan-

    gerof fallingapartunless the toll roadproject

    is implemented, is shocking and opportunis-

    tic. We condemn their manipulation of the

    facts for thepurposes of advancinga toll road

    project, said Herron.

    The Citys application to compel Sanral to

    disclose these documents, instituted five

    days before Sanrals notice to the City (on 1

    March), will now also be heard at the same

    time as the Citys urgent interdict applica-

    tion on 16 May.

    Contractordumps

    rubblenext to river

    NIKITA SYLVESTER

    Strand resident Eric Prinsloo ex-

    pressed mixed feelings about the pav-

    ing work at Goedehoop cemetery in

    Strand last week.

    He explained he was initially pleased

    with theefficientworkdoneby themunici-

    pality by paving the entrance to the ceme-

    tery.

    However, he said his joy was short-lived

    afternoticing that thecontractorswhohad

    completed the job had dumped the excess

    paving material alongside the Lourens

    River.

    I didnt see it being dumped there, but

    when I had a closer look at the rubble I

    could see that it was the same kind of pav-

    ing that had been used at the Goedehoop

    cemetery, said Prinsloo.

    Ward 83 councillor, Dave Venter con-

    firmedthat thecontractorassigned topave

    the area at the cemetery was responsible

    for the dumping.

    According to Venter a misunderstand-

    ing between municipal officials and the

    contractor seems to be the reason for the

    dumping. He pointed out that the initial

    agreement was that the contractor would

    dump the excess building sand only into

    a hole in the park next to Lourens River.

    Thecontractor thendumpedall theunused

    building material and not only sand into

    the hole.

    Officialshave instructedthecontractor

    to immediately remove all the building

    rubble and only leave building sand be-

    hind, said Venter.

    He confirmed on Wednesday morning

    that contractors would be returning to the

    areaduring thecourseof theday toremove

    the building material which they had

    dumped along the Lourens River.

    JAMEY THOMAS

    Afatheranddaughter fromtheStrand im-

    plorepeoplenot to fishat thedamopposite

    Strand High School, or, when doing so, to

    take extra caution, so as not to injure the

    water birds in the vicinity.

    This is afterAllanOtte andhis five-year-old

    daughter, Emma-Kate saved a goose from a

    painful death during an outing to the park to

    feed the ducks on Sunday (7 April).

    According to Allan, while they were sur-

    rounded by ducks and geese, his daughter no-

    ticed two red fishing flotation devices

    wrapped around the leg of one of the geese.

    Upon closer inspection, it was clear that the

    situationwasmore serious than they had ini-

    tially thought. Emma-Kate therefore took off

    her long-sleeve top to catch the bird after lur-

    ing it out of the water with the bread crumbs.

    When it was close enough, I managed to

    capture it and pull the tops sleeve over its

    head to keep it calm so that itwouldnt be able

    to hurt itself or us, explained Allan.

    Having no knife or scissors, he had to bite

    loose the fish gut which was attached to the

    flotation device and was trailing about 10 m

    behind the goose. As he was about to release

    the goose, he noticed another piece of fishing

    line which was fastened to a steel trace at-

    tached to a fish hook, lodged under the skin

    of the goose.

    I successfully removed the trace, but was

    unable to remove the hook from under the

    gooses right wing. I then decided to take the

    goose to the Animal Hospital in the Strand.

    As the hospital was already closed for the

    day,Allanphoned the emergencynumber dis-

    played on the facade of thehospital. Fortunate-

    ly, the veterinarian on call was at Altena Ani-

    mal Hospital, where they immediately rushed

    the injured goose to.

    According toDr IngridLester, the veterinar-

    ian at the Altena Animal Hospital, the goose

    was sedated in order to remove the fish hook.

    Thewoundwas cleanedand the goose received

    antibiotics. Although the goose was a bit

    stressed when we got to the hospital, it was

    back to its old self when it was released and

    reunitedwith its family at the damonTuesday

    morning, said Lester.

    Allan advises people to refrain from fishing

    at the dam since the area is inundated with

    birds andaccidents suchas this one, arebound

    to happen.

    Craig Lester, manager of the Altena Animal Hospital, with the injured goose and Emma-Kate

    Otte who observed the whole procedure to remove the fish hook.

    Philwest Volkswagen team on

    their excellent service and going

    the extra mile this past week:

    Biggels, Steve, Raymond van der

    Westhuizen and Daleen Toerien.

    I was able to successfully and

    easily trade in my car for a new

    Volkswagen Polo Vivo thanks to

    the speedy and efficient service I

    experienced at Philwest.

    ThisVolkswagenbranch is real-

    ly on the ball and makes things so

    easy for a young working person,

    like myself, to buy a new car.

    Daleen did more than what was

    expected of her, obtaining various

    carfinancingquotes formeanden-

    suring that I ordered all the extras

    I wanted in my new car. Steve

    came to my workplace in Cape

    Town to evaluate my car which

    meant I didnt have to take timeoff

    work. Raymond and his team ar-

    ranged for the smash and grab

    ment. To top it off, Raymond and

    Daleendeliveredmynewcartomy

    office and tookmy old car back for

    the trade-in. Thank you to Biggels

    for arranging everything.

    The process for all of this to hap-

    pen took three days! I still cant be-

    lieve how quick it was to get a new

    car, especially before the long

    Easter weekend. Thank you again

    Hiermee wil ek u graagmeedeel

    dat dit wat u as n unieke gawe be-

    skou, eintlik nie so uniek is nie.

    Ek kan u waarborg dat 100% van

    padverbruikers die gawe besit om

    soos idiote tebestuur (meestedoen

    dit net nie op n daaglikse basis

    nie). Om dan wel soos n idioot te

    bestuur sal dus werklik niemand

    anders as u self bendruk nie.

    Ek wonder nogal of u baie trots

    was oor u eie bestuursvernuf toe

    u die hoek by die Strand-begraaf-

    plaas oorkant Greenways Golf Es-

    tate gesny het en reg voor aanko-

    Het u dit dalk beskou as u reg

    om soos n absolute idioot te be-

    stuur enander se lewens in gevaar

    te stel? Ek kan u verseker die feit

    dat u nie gereeld ander padgebrui-

    kers so sien bestuur nie, beteken

    beslis nie dat hulle nie so kan be-

    stuur nie, hulle besit slegs die ga-

    we om terwyl hulle bestuur, ook

    die gedeelte tussen hulle ore opti-

    maal te gebruik. Om dus soos n

    idioot te bestuur is nie so indruk-

    wekkend soos u mag dink nie.

    Om net gewoonweg n hoek te

    sny is seker nog somtyds ver-

    skoonbaar, maar die manier hoe

    u dit gedoen het, was iets wat ek

    (wat al ten minste n miljoen kilo-

    meter as bestuurder agter die blad

    het) nog nooit tevore gesien het

    nie.

    U weet self wat u gedoen het,

    Protect our limited

    marine resources

    Fish fromtheoceanarebecomingan

    increasingly scarce resource.

    So many laws and restrictions

    have been put in place to protect

    many of these fish species in an ef-

    fort to ensure that they will be

    around for some time to come.

    It is therefore so very sad when

    recreational anglers, who by now

    should know the laws, break them

    on a regular basis.

    A shore angler reported that dur-

    ing the recent run of fish along our

    coastline he saw several anglers

    keeping and hiding undersized fish.

    These anglers should be reported

    so that this practice can be stopped.

    SUNSET ANGLERS: There was a good run of fish on Strands beaches recently and fishermen from

    the area reported catches of elf, kob, galjoen and wildeperd (zebra). Read Art Ridways column Fish

    braai socket and my neighbour

    chasedapregnantgirloutofmyyard

    after having found her in the back-

    plant-holders were also removed

    and stolen off the backyard wall.

    got home from work that evening,

    I were on our way to our daughters

    house to have a shower. Just before

    leaving, I had a strange feeling and

    checked the main stop cock at the

    meter, only to find that it had been

    closed, which I thought was rather

    strange. Anyhow we had water.

    On waking up this morning (yes-

    Geskroeideparadys

    Twee jaar gelede in April 2011, het n ver-

    woestende brand die Wes-piek in die Hel-

    derberg bokant Somerset-Wes kaal ge-

    brand en groot skade aan plante, diere en

    eiendom aangerig.

    Daar het niks oorgebly van die woude fyn-

    bos en proteaswat die hange van die berg ver-

    sier het, nie.

    Die Helderberg-natuurreservaat het ook

    erg deurgeloop.

    Vryskutskrywer Frans Fourie van die

    Strandhetmetsykameradiegeskroeidepara-

    dys ingevaar en die skade gedokumenteer.

    n Twintigtal van sy fotos wat die skade

    maar ook die eerste tekens van herstel weer-

    spiel, word tot einde April in die Millstraat-

    tak van die Strand-biblioteek uitgestal.

    Winter wonderland is

    bigger, better than before

    There is still plenty of space for craft-

    ers to exhibit theirworks during this

    side village of Gordons Bay from 20

    30 June.

    Gordons Bay will be transformed

    and old.

    The Winter Wonderland Festival

    will be even bigger and better this

    year, with many more spectacular

    light displays, more arts and crafts,

    food stalls and an art exhibition by

    the newly formed Gordons Bay Art

    Group, says event organiser Andr

    Paulsen.

    While most of the same stall hold-

    ers and crafters from last year will

    be participating again, there are

    available spaces for new local talent.

    To rent a stall, have your band per-

    form, or your art displayed, phone

    on 082 676 0109 or 021 856 1535. You

    can also send an email to wear-

    on display at this years Winter Wonder-

    land. To rent a stall, phone 082 676 0109

    haar ding in die kombuis doen. Ek glo

    jy moet dit eenvoudig hou en die natuur

    die nodige erkenning gee.

    Vir Mathilda is dit belangrik om n ge-

    sondebalans tehandhaaf indie landse lek-

    ker-eet-en-kuier-kultuur.

    Sy glo in n gesonde lewenstyl en dat n

    mens nog steeds gesonde onthoukos kan

    maak sonder om enigsins die oorspronkli-

    ke geur in te boet.

    My inspirasie in die kombuis kom van

    my ouma Mathilda by wie ek baie geleer

    het.Sykookookgereeldmet varsprodukte

    uit haar eie tuin en is nie bang ommet nu-

    we geure te eksperimenteer nie. Ek hoop

    om eendag baie te kan reis en te leer by

    ing his hilarious show to the

    GrandWestRoxyRevueBar from

    Friday 12 April to Saturday 4

    May.

    Over the past 21 years Andr has

    become a household name in enter-

    tainment. He initially began his ca-

    reer as a magician before stumbling

    upon a show of the late, legendary

    hypnotistMaxCollie.He immediate-

    ly fell under the spell of hypnotism

    and changed careers.

    He studied the art of hypnotism,

    practising on some willing volun-

    teers, and the rest is show business

    history. Since those early days An-

    dr has two TV series and a TV spe-

    cial behind his name. Besides con-

    stantly touring South Africa, he has

    also performed in England and in

    Australia.

    If the thought of watching family

    and friends act like anything from a

    washing machine to a soap dispens-

    er, then Andr the Hypnotist is the

    show to see for a hilarious evening

    of fun and laughter.

    The shows take place from

    Wednesday to Saturday at 20:00.

    CAMP BACK 2 BASICS: The grade 4 7 pupils from Applewood Preparatory School recently headed off to camp at a local spot, Back 2 Basics. It was decided that all four grades should

    attend the same camp so that the children would have the opportunity to interact with different classes. Each grade had an individualised programme aimed at age specific skills. The chil-

    dren learnt how to work together as a team, how to communicate effectively, how to plan first, to never give up, to conquer fears, and of course to have fun, said Di McCullough, grade 7

    teacher . The camp organisers thanked the team at Back 2 Basics for the time they could spend there.

    of the residents are also members of Die Wingerd Neighbourhood Watch.

    Beach clean-up

    On Saturdaymorning 6 April, about 20 Helder-

    berg residents made their way to Strand beach

    to take part in a clean-up mission.

    One of the organisers, Cris Robertson said

    that the tide had washed up an enormous

    amount of garbage onto the beach.

    We collected plastics like bottles, bottle

    caps, straws, bags, sweet wrappers, chip pack-

    ets and so on, but the most astonishing (and

    disgusting) was the number of cigarette butts.

    In just fifteen metres along the tide-line, a

    whole refuse packet was filled, amounting to

    around a thousand cigarette butts, said Rob-

    ertson.

    He said that despite few people pitching up,

    the operation is always a success if anyone

    turns up, it isnt about cleaning the beach, its

    aboutgettingout thereasacommunity, involv-

    ing the family and taking responsibility of the

    natural beauty weve been gifted.

    The next beach clean-up will be taking place

    on Saturday 4 May, every first Saturday of the

    month. Formore information contact Gregory

    "USINESS

    betaalbaar na R1 088 000 afkom nie, maar

    die terugbetalingstermyn ook na 15 jaar

    verkort. Ongelooflik!

    Onthou, korttermyn-skuld is

    gewoonlik baie duurder as

    langtermyn-skuld. Krediet-

    kaartskuld sal die heel duurste

    wees, gevolg deur persoonlike

    lenings, motorfinansiering en

    daarna huisverbande wat ge-

    woonlik die goedkoopste is.

    Betaal dus eerste jou duur

    skuld af, so vinnig moontlik,

    voordat jy ekstra geld in jou

    huisverbandplaas. Jykanselfs

    die beskikbare limiet op jou

    huisverband gebruik om jou

    korttermyn-skuld te delg om

    sodoende rente te bespaar.

    Maar gaan tog net voort om die

    bestaande paaiement dieselfde

    te hou en af te betaal op jou verband.

    Veronderstel jou huisverband se rente-

    koers is prima (8,5%) en jou kredietkaart

    is 1822% en jy skuld R50 000 op jou kaart.

    Neem R50 000 vanaf die verband en betaal

    die kredietkaart af. Hou aan om die maan-

    delikse betaling wat jy voorheen op die

    kaartbetaalhet, op jouverbandaf tebetaal.

    Die besparing op rente oor vyf jaar is

    R16 000. Partymense spogdaarmeedathul-

    le n motor sommer op die huisverband ge-

    koop het en nou baie rente spaar. Dit kan

    so wees, maar indien so iemand nie die te-

    rugbetaling oor vyf jaar bereken nie, maar

    oor die 20 jaar van die verband, gaan hy

    inteendeel baie meer rente betaal.

    Wees gedissiplineerd met die terugbeta-

    lings. Betaal dieselfde bedrag wat jy op jou

    kredietkaart betaal het, steeds in jou huis-

    verband. Knip jou kaart stukkend; gebruik

    eerder kontant. Definisie van n krediet-

    kaart: verdubbel jou salaris in een maand

    en halveer dit vir die res van jou lewe.

    Indien jy elke maand so n bietjie meer

    op jou skuldkanafbetaal, kan jydie ter-

    myn van die lening sowel as die totale

    rente betaalbaar met die

    helfte verminder.

    Die huishoudelike inkomste

    Afrika is om en by R18 000 n

    van word gebruik om skuld te-
