Locals claimVanWyk isa thief

CASSY VAN EEDEN

Since theDistrictMail published

the article Woman loses her life

savings (29May), sixpeoplehave

contacted the DistrictMail to

share their experiences with a

Strand resident named Callie

van Wyk.

These people claim theyhave lost

hundreds of thousands of rands to

Van Wyk.

Many of these people informed

the DistrictMail that the money

they claim to have lost to Van Wyk

through a variety of scams, was

their life savings, and had even put

some of them into serious debt.

Van Wyk, who according to the

Department of Justice and Consti-

tutional Development, is a regis-

tered advocate, allegedly uses his

profession as an advocate al-

though he has not practised for

many years to encourage Helder-

berg locals to trust him.

The names of our sources have

been withheld for their protection.

)An elderly man claims that a

man called Callie van Wyk conned

him out of about R700 000 over a pe-

riod of about four years. The man

invested in several business deals

with Van Wyk and before he knew

it, he had nothing left.

He has since been threatened by

VanWyktowithdrawhisstatement

to the DistrictMail.

)A Strand local was approached

by Van Wyk when he told him that

the Lord had sent him to help him

in his time of need. Being a deeply

religious person, he believed the

man.Heclaimsthatheendeduplos-

ing about R400 000 to him by invest-

ing in several business ventures

and shares that VanWyk promised

would make him a very wealthy

man. Theman said he was continu-

ously threatened by Van Wyk, in-

cluding having someone come to

his home to warn him to pay up or

then you will see what can hap-

pen.

)Local business owner Sonja le

Roux alleges she was conned out of

R37 000 which she saidwasher en-

tire life savings when Van Wyk

sold her NelsonMandela coins that

he claimed were a part of a special

2008mintworth thousands of rands

that he promised would make her

rich.

She later discovered that the

coins were in fact not a part of the

2008 collection and are worth no

more than R5 each.

Van Wyk also asked Le Roux to

returnfourof thecoins thatshepur-

chased from him so that he could

sell them for her. She has yet to see

her money or the coins.

)Owen Houndsome, a Gordons

Bay resident, told the DistrictMail

that he lost R5 000 to van Wyk dur-

ing a vulnerable period in his life

when he fell behind on several pay-

ments. He was advised to contact

Van Wyk as he is an advocate and

may be able to assist him. VanWyk

assured Houndsome that he would

contact the bank onhis behalf to or-

ganise his payments and charged

Houndsome R5 000. When Hound-

some later received a telephone call

fromthebanksaying that theywere

going to repossess some of his be-

longings, they confirmed that no

man had contacted them regarding

his debt.

)AGordons Baywomanwas ap-

proachedbyVanWykwhosaid that

he could give her legal advice but

he wanted a R2 000 deposit in ad-

vance. She claims she never re-

ceived legal advice from him. She

alleges she has since been told by

Van Wyk to shut her mouth, and

not talk to the DistrictMail.

In each of these incidents Van

Wyk had supposedly specified that

heonlywanted themoney tobepaid

to him in cash.

One of the sources said that Van

Wyk initially comes across as ex-

tremely friendlybutsoonturns into

a bully who uses threats to get

what he wants.

He appeals to peoples vulnera-

bilities to get them to trust him and

thenhetakesyouforallyouvegot,

said one of the sources.

Van Wyk has also threatened a

DistrictMail journalist.

VanWykwas given ample oppor-

tunity to respond to these allega-

tions, to which he said: I will not

stoop to grace the vacuous ram-

blings, malicious and false allega-

tionswitha responseexcept to state

that I reserve all my rights.

Informal tradingnowformalised inCBD

DALEEN FOUCH

In a bid to create more small scale trading

opportunities in the Helderberg, City

Council recently approved a new informal

trading plan for the SomersetWest central

business district (CBD).

The plan aims to develop the informal trad-

ing sector and simultaneously regulates the

sector. It allows for 92 informal trading stalls

in the Somerset West CBD, located in Church

Street and Lourens Road.

Stuart Pringle, councillor of ward 84, says

the informal trading plan for the Somerset

WestCBD,whichwasapprovedbyfullCouncil

on29May,seekstoencourageinformaltrading

in a sustainablewaywhich promotes econom-

ic activity in the CBD and also protects the

rights of formal businesses.

Last year, the City of Cape Town adopted a

new informal trading policy which paved the

way for the Somerset West trading plan.

The policy reflects the City of Cape Towns

changing view of the sector. Previously infor-

mal tradingwas seen as a stepping stone to the

formal trading or job sector. The new policy,

however, acknowledges informal trading as a

recognised means to earn a living.

According to Pringle, informal trading con-

tributes between 1618% of both employment

and economic activity in the City of Cape

Town, and Somerset West is no exception.

Informal tradersmust registerwith theCity

of Cape Town in order to trade in these demar-

cated trading areas. Traders pay amonthly fee

of R45 for their stall. Pringle says traders will

havetoputuptheirowntemporarystructures.

The long term plan, however, is that an infor-

mal trading committee is establishedwhowill

regulate the kind of structures used, as well

as the kind of products sold by informal trad-

ers.

The informal trading plan for the Somerset

West CBD forms part of a greater vision for

the area. This vision was formulated during

several public participation sessions with

stakeholders and a document to give guide-

lines for further development of the CBD was

published in November 2012. During the for-

mulation of the document, several projects for

the CBD were identified, including the long

awaitedupgradetothepublic transport facili-

ties, which is currently in the project design

phase. Pringle says the City is currently ac-

quiring land for this project.

Fate of the Lwandle evictees remains uncertain

JAMEY GORDON

The relocation of AsandaVillage evictees is still uncer-

tain.

Almost900residentswereevictedonMonday(2June)

and Tuesday (3 June) from land belonging to Sanral

(SouthAfricanNationalRoadsAgencyLimited),which

is earmarked for the rerouting of the N2/T2 as part of

the proposed Winelands Tolling Project.

The residents were to be relocated to Sanral-owned

land in Blackheath on Monday (9 June).

The residents were transported by taxi to the parcel

of land where their new homes were to be erected.

However, their glimmer of hope of new homes soon

faded when they were met by disgruntled members of

the Blackheath community not in favour of the reloca-

tion. A media statement released by the City of Cape

TownonMonday stated that re-zoning approval and an

environmental assessmentneeds tobe complied before

the evictees are moved to the Sanral land.

The residents returned to Lwandle where they are

still temporarily accommodated in community halls.

According to Ward 85 Councillor Mbuyiselo Matha,

Sanral presented a few parcels of land for the possible

relocation of the evictees last week, of which the land

stretching from Blackheath to Mfuleni was selected.

Matha says that this land, in comparisonwith theother

proposedland,wasthenearesttothetownshipandlarge

enough to accommodate the evictees. Matha said that

on Monday they were awaiting 849 housing kits to be

supplied by Sanral. The structures were to be erected

for the residents.

Sithembiso Weduwedu, chairperson of Seskhona

Helderberg, said they are hoping formeetings with the

MEC for Human Settlements and the Mayor this week

would give some directive with regards to the reloca-

tion. Weduwedu says that the morale of the residents

is low after they had to return to the halls. A pensioner,

Sello Mokoatle (62), says he will be happy when he at

lasthasaplaceofhis own,nomatterwhere it is located.

Gloria Faro, amother of six, says she cannot stand see-

ing her children sleep in chairs anymore. She says she

will take them anywhere as long as they have a home.

Concernsonwhetherthecorrectprocedurewas

and whether the eviction was lawful remain.

A Helderberg resident, who preferred to re-

main anonymous, presented the DistrictMail

with images of thedocumentusedby the sheriff

of the court. The images show the words draft

order on the document, and the word draft

scratched out with a signature next to it.

The resident also presented a letter dated 22

January which he believes put the eviction in

motion. The letter informs Sanral that the

structures and occupants pose a danger to

themselves and the public in terms of health

and safety. It cites the Prevention of Illegal

Eviction from and Unlawful Occupation of

Land Act, giving Sanral 14 days to rectify the

situation.

Hundreds ofworshippers gathered at the

This was the first church service, almost

Rev Murcott is thankful for support of the

Without them this would not have been

possible, she says.

The restoration process is, however, not

completely finished.

Murcott says the roof that has aged over

the years and leaks needs to be replaced. A

boundary wall also needs to be built to pre-

vent water from flooding the premises like

Newhead ispassionateandcommitted

JAMEY GORDON

Hi, please call me David.

This greeting by David Schenck (46), the

newly appointed principal at Parel Vallei

(PV)High School, is an indication of the kind

of person he is humble, passionate about

people, approachable and onewho sets an ex-

ample.

Schenck was born as the middle child of

three boys in Mowbray in 1967. He recalls a

happy, wonderful childhoodwith his fond-

est memories being of regular trips to the

Newlands stadium with his brothers, Grant

andMark, and dad, Ivan,where they enjoyed

some thrilling rugby moments in the old

standing room in front of the grand stand.

Schenck started his school career at the

very respected Bergvliet Primary School

in 1974, and matriculated from Wynberg

Boys High in 1985, where he earned many

accolades such as being prefect, vice captain

of the Cravenweek rugby teamand receiving

thehonoursaward forrugby inhis finalyear.

Schencksays thathe excelled inacademics

and rugby in primary school and although

rugby took centre stage in high school, he re-

mained academically strong.

Theavid rugbyplayermovedon to theUni-

versity of Cape Town (UCT) in 1987 to study

teaching, where he was also part of UCTs

first XV rugby team.

Schenck is particularly proud of the fact

thathehadAfrikaansandNetherlandsasone

of his teaching subjects.

Id like to think its something special, es-

pecially since I have been inherentlyEnglish

for the most part of my life, says Schenck,

who reckons hes a bit rusty, but can still

speak the language fluently.

Aftergraduating,Schenckwasconscripted

and suffered the loss of his 21-year-old broth-

er, Mark, before taking on his first teaching

post at Queens College Boys High School in

Queenstown in 1993.

Losing my brother was awful. He was go-

ing to be bestman atmywedding. I miss him

and wish that he couldve seen my boys, he

would have loved them, says an emotional

Schenck.

Schenck married Lynn at the end of 1993

and returned toCapeTownwhere they resid-

ed in Rondebosch.

The happy couple have a closely-knit fami-

ly consisting of four boys Jonathan (20), a

first year Rhodes University student, Nicho-

las (17), a Gr 11 learner at KingswoodCollege

and 12-year-old twinsMatthew andTimothy,

who are Grade 6 learners at Beaumont Pri-

mary School.

Schenck returned to his almamater, Wyn-

berg Boys High, in 1995, were he spent 14

years teachingavarietyof subjects, coaching

rugby and waterpolo and running the

schools disciplinary programme. He left

Wynberg Boys High asHOD (head of depart-

ment) in 2007 andmoved into co-ed education

at Pinelands High School as a deputy princi-

pal. InApril 2010 hewas appointed vice-prin-

cipal and head of student affairs at Kings-

wood College in Grahamstown.

Schenck took up the position as headmas-

ter at PV inMay this year. He has had aspira-

tions of becoming a headmaster and reckons

that at the age of 46, he is ready for it.

Schenck says that being a headmaster can

be challenging since the buck stops at his

desk and he has to account for the school to

the education department. However, he con-

siders PV to be a fantastic school with sup-

portive staff.

Schenck says he wholeheartedly believes

in his philosophy of an education with fami-

ly-based ethos and caring discipline at its

core, together with excellence in academics,

sport, culture. We dont coach formatric re-

sults, but independent thought beyond the

parameters of the school syllabus, says

Schenck, highlighting the schools recent ac-

complishments of being placed fourth in the

2014Mathsolympiadand the fact that in 2013,

151 graduates from Stellenbosch University

were former PV learners.

Schenck attributes his teaching success to

the sincerity with which he builds relation-

ships with staff, constant friendliness and

necessary firmness, and the fact that, despite

possible criticism, he wont budge from his

beliefs, morals and values.

The keen hunter and passionate angler us-

es the words, passionate, committed and fair

to best describe himself.

I lovewhat I do, Ill stickwithyou through

whatever and I treat everyone as equals,

concludes Schenck.

David Schenck (46), is the newly appointed

principal at Parel Vallei (PV) High School

and took up this position in May this year.

In response to Dooie hond is springle-

wendig. I met Helena November last

year.

Dogs are her life, she loves and cares

for them extremely well. To say she nev-

er fed a pet while in her care seems ex-

tremely far fetched and I believe to be

a lie.

I have been to her lodge on numerous

occasions and all her doggie tenants are

happyandwell looked after.Her premis-

es are also extremely clean and tidy.

see Helena when we arrive.

Thank you Waggy Tails for the five-

I write this article not in order to

influence people to react according

to the circumstances which follow

. . . or to challenge them to follow

suit . . . rather to show that good

deeds still precede the conditionsof

Live and let live or Grab what

you can, whenever you can!

When a person motivated by in-

trinsic goodness inherent in their

lives responds in a situation with-

out any preconceived motive it

makes one stop and say, Now that

is a good man!

ThismorningIhadtakenmywife

(who suffers from Parkinsons)

from theCareCentre to a dermatol-

ogist in Arun Place and after the

consultationstopped forsomething

to eat.

Because of the dyskinesis associ-

ated with this disease she requires

to be fed so as to prevent issues like

messing and choking during a

meal.

While feeding my wife, a middle

aged gentleman and his wife greet-

ed us as they entered the shop and

took their seats.

I continued feeding my wife, but

when it came time to pay, the wait-

ress declared I could not pay with

acredit cardas thenewownershad

only been operating for four days

without credit-card facilities so I

would need to pay R101,00 cash for

the meal.

There was apparently a small

signpastedonacounterwhichIhad

failed to see.

She indicated that I could return

with the money later.

EmbarrassedasIwas, itwasthen

that the gentleman came over to

our tableandofferedmeahundred-

rand and note with which to pay

with no strings attached.

I was completely gob smacked.

This simplydoesnothappen in this

day and age. I am normally never

at a loss for words . . . but I had no

words todescribe the feelingat that

moment of being part of a society

where a stranger reveals that he

cares about others.

It was not the amount of money

he produced, God bless his kind

heart, with the no-strings-attached

gift but the principal of his unself-

ish interest in others thatmademe

feel incredibly happy to be part of

the human race again.

make itmy duty to reciprocate this

the principle of doing a good deed

Newcomersdidnt heed court ruling in favourof landowner

The families evicted from their

makeshift homes in Asanda de-

serve sympathy and aid from the

more fortunate.

But, it has to be said that these

folk came to our town to seekwork

and partake gratuitously of the fa-

cilities provided by the ratepay-

ers. On arrival they illegally

usurped the property rights of the

landowners Sanral.

Theywere asked to leave but re-

fused to do so. Their case for con-

tinued illegal occupation was

heard in the High Court and the

judgment was favourable to the

owners.

The newcomers didnt heed the

court ruling but continued to defy

the law.

Sanral acted in accordancewith

its lawful rights and should not be

castigated for so doing or expected

to alleviate the plight of those af-

fected.

Section25(1)ofTheBill ofRights

states: No onemay be deprived of

property except in terms of gener-

al application,andno lawmayper-

mit arbitrary deprivation of prop-

erty.

The folk who illegally invaded

the landunlawfully impingedSan-

rals rights of ownership.

subvert the laws bywhichwe live,

they are defied at the peril of the

Sherpa tragedy

CASSY VAN EEDEN

He faced the raw cold of sub-zero tem-

peratures, endless steep climbs and

even an upper chest infection all to

make it toMount Everests Base Camp.

Somerset West resident and business

owner, Andries Basson, embarked on his

latest adventure on 5 April and returned

to South Africa 25 days later, after having

climbed5550metresabovesee level to fulfil

one of his biggest dreams.

Although he faced several obstacles

along the way, including having to leave

almostallhis luggagebehind inSouthAfri-

ca and an uncomfortable and dangerous 13

hourbus trip tohis first lodge,Andries em-

braced every minute of his journey.

A day before he left his lodge to begin his

climb, he heard about a tragedy that soon

became international news, 16 localNepali

Sherpa men had been killed in an icefall,

about halfway between theBase Camp and

Camp One.

When asked if the news made him more

nervous about the adventure he was about

to tackle, Andries said I was eager to get

to the base camp and see what happened.

Andries witnessed a large emergency

helicopter pulling a body out from the ice

it was eerie, you see the boots first, and

then the mask over his face.

He describes the Himalayas as entirely

another world, one cant really put it into

words.

Holding tightly onto his if you can

dream it, you can do it mantra, Andries

beganhis climb.He took the road less trav-

elled and chose to hike on a quieter, less

visited route, which includes the Cho La

Pass and the Gokyo lakes. The same route

that Sir Edmund Hillary took, said An-

dries, beaming with pride.

Hehikedtheroutealoneotherthanbeing

accompaniedbyhisguide,whooftenfibbed

about how much more ground they had to

cover. Locals call anything up to 3 000 me-

tres above sea level hills, he said laugh-

ing, they only start calling it a mountain

at about 6 000 metres.

The first twodayswere thehardest, he

said,itwasstillquitewarmthenandthere

was a lot of ups and downs, it was quite ex-

hausting.

Most people who attempt the expedition

toBaseCamp start their route at Lukla air-

port. However, Andries opted to start from

theverybottomandhike for aweek toLuk-

la, where he met many people, all with the

samegoal as him. Imet lots of people from

all over, itwasvery interesting.Andevery-

one that I spoke to knew about South Afri-

ca, I was so surprised, he said.

After 20 days of hiking, Andries left Ne-

pal feeling disappointed that his journey

was over but was also beaming with suc-

cess.

Andries says

his biggest les-

son from it all

was that noth-

ingisimpossible,

if you put your

head and your

heart into it.

Somerset West resident and business owner Andries Basson hiked

up the Himalayas to the Everest Base Camp in April.

AN END IN SIGHT: Riaan Mans and

Vasti Geldenhuys, local Helderberg adven

turers, are expected to reach their final

destination on Monday (16 June) after

having rowed over 10 000 kilometres

across the Atlantic Ocean on their Take Me

To New York expedition. The couple start

ed their rowing expedition from the coast

al town of Marrakesh in Morocco on 31

December 2013. They were faced with yet

another lifethreatening crisis, when they

lost their most valuable piece of equipment

their water desalinator. Fortunately they

were able to contact a nearby 225 m long

cargo ship that came to their rescue by

dropping off massive canisters of water

for them that will sustain them for the last

leg of their journey. Follow the remainder

of their journey on facebook.com/Take

Jupi-toerbeginopS-Wes

Die Kaapse liedjieskry-

werensanger,Lukasde

Beer, se landwye Storm

opJupi-toer skopSater-

dag 13 Junie by die So-

merset Westend Thea-

tre (op die N2, langs

Monkey Town) af.

Die geleentheid begin

om 19:00 en volg kort n

Lukas sy debuutalbum,

Storm op Jupiter in Stel-

lenbosch bekendgestel

het.

Di tien-snit album be-

vat nege oorspronklike

liedjies wat deur Lukas

selfneergepenis,asooksy

weergawe van Lucas Ma-

ree se Weduwee se Kruik.

Sy liedjie, Storie, is reeds vir drie agtereen-

volgende weke die nommer een lied op

GrootFM 90.5 se SA Top 20. Lukas het ook al

sy verskyning gemaak op kykNET se Juk-

ebox, asook op Jam (kanaal 146 op DSTV).

Die briljante musiekvervaardiger Helmut

Meijer van Stellenbosch, was nie net vir die

verwerkings en vermenging van die liedjies

op die album verantwoordelik nie, maar het

ook grotendeels tot die agtergrondstemme op

die album bygedra. Luister ook vir die stem-

me van Uys Visser en Konstand Spies, en die

geniale musikaliteit van Sven Blumer op ki-

taar en JP Crouch op tromme.

Wat Storm op Jupiter veral buitengewoon

maak is die feit dat die meester vervaardig

is deur Abbey Road Studios in Londen, deur

die fenomenale Geoff Pesche. Dis nou dieself-

de studio waar legendes soos The Beatles en

Pink Floyd baie van hul treffers opgeneem

het.

Met stukkies Blues, klassieke 80s Rock, so

bietjieFolken ndosisPopvormgoeie, eerlike

en digterlike liedjieskryf die kern van Storm

op Jupiter, met lirieke en

melodie wat ongetwy-

feld jou hart sal raak.

As sy stem nie in die

vorm van liedjies op ra-

dio gehoor word nie, is

Lukas ook aanbieder van

dieontbytprogramop729

KaapseKansel. Sy liefde

vir radio is gebore uit sy

dae as professionele

stemkunstenaar in die

korporatiewe wreld.

Met n honneursgraad

inTeologie (UJ), is Lukas

ookvirbaie jarealbymu-

siekbediening betrokke.

So deur die produksie-

werk van Storm op Jupi-

ter heen, is Lukas nog

boonop besig met n Meestersgraad in Mana-

gement Coaching (USB). Hy fokus sy navor-

singdaaropomsangers,musikante en liedjie-

skrywers te help om kreatief te kan bly in n

veeleisende bedryf dit dan deur middel van

Creativity Life Coaching.

Lukas speel sedert laerskool die baskitaar,

hy sing, en het ook tot onlangs nog Musiek

Besigheid en Liedjieskryf by n privaat kolle-

ge in Somerset-Wes aangebied vir voorgraad-

se studente.

Wanneer die dag tot n einde kom en Lukas

met alle musiek-verwante dinge klaarmaak,

keerhyterugnasybeeldskonevrou, nmedie-

se dokter, en hul drie kinders in Somerset-

Wes.

The Somerset Mall hosted their sixth an-

nual charitybookdrive lastweekendwith

more than 32 charities participating.

The book drive, which saw charity book

stalls set up throughout the mall, started on

Thursday and ended on Sunday. Retha Mull-

er, Marketing Manager for the Somerset

Mall, says the charity book drive that was

started in 2009 shows exceptional growth

every year and this year is no exception.

Muller says the rainy weather, coupled

with the Malls reading nook initiatives,

drew many shoppers to the book drive.

The volunteers for the St. Georges Cathedral

book stall are (from left) Pat Ellis, Peter du

Toit and Harry Noemdoe.

Mark and Elmarie Edwardes shop for books to

their hearts delight.

Nothing fishyaboutnew legislation

DALEEN FOUCH

A local trout farmer is positive

about the trout industry inSouth

Africa despite country-wide con-

cern after changes were made to

the legislation pertaining to spe-

cies control

The draft Alien Species Regula-

tions of the National Environmen-

tal Biodiversity Management Act

(NEMBA) that list trout as an inva-

sive alien species, have been met

with strong opposition from the fly

fishing community and trout indus-

try. But Gerhard Compion, a local

trout farmer, says he is optimistic

about the future of his farming en-

deavour and is busy expanding his

second trout farminGrabouwto try

and keep up with the growing de-

mand for trout as an alternative to

sea fish.

Dean Impson, Cape Nature scien-

tist for freshwater fish, says that the

Department of Environmental Af-

fairs (DEA) in 2013 listed trout as a

Category 1B species (a species that

require control bymeansof an inva-

sive species management pro-

gramme). This would have serious-

ly affected trout fishing and farm-

ing. Impson,however, says theDEA

in the new draft regulations have

amended the listing of rainbow and

brown trout to Category 2, which

means that use of the specieswill be

managedbyareaandpermitswhere

appropriate. Inareaswhere trout le-

gallyoccur theymaybestocked into

dams without permits, but permits

will be still required for trout farm-

ing. Impson said thiswould be a for-

mality in areas where trout legally

occur, such as the Lourens River

catchment and Compions trout

farm at Lourensford.

The permit to control the sale and

movement of live trout is currently

managed by provincial conserva-

tion authorities like CapeNature,

and will be for two years after the

Alien Species Regulations are im-

plemented, due to restrictions in ca-

pacity at the DEA.

Compion says he already has his

permit for the transfer of live trout

andisconfident that thenewregula-

tions will not hamper his business.

In fact, Compion welcomed the new

regulations, which he believes is a

step in the right direction to create

norms and standards.

Compion says trout was intro-

duced into the Lourens River

around 1886 and has found an equi-

libriumwith the indigenousspecies

in the river. He says in the first few

years after trout, a predatory fish,

was released in the Lourens River,

itgrewverybigandpreyedonsmall-

er indigenous fish, but due to pollu-

tion and a drop in the water levels,

trout in the Lourens River do not

grow very big. Compions trout

farmonthebankof theLourensRiv-

er on Lourensford Wine Estate pro-

duces 85 ton of trout per year. He al-

sohasanEnvironmental ImpactAs-

sessment application for a permit to

grow his satellite trout farm in

Grabouw to produce 160 ton of trout

per year. Compions trout is sent to

a specialist processing facility for

trout in Franchhoek and is sold to

two major retailers.

doeling was dalk aan-

vanklik omniemeer as
