    he driver of a Strand South African

    PoliceService(SAPS)vehicleisfacing

    a charge of culpable homicide after a

    pedestrian was struck down and killed in

    the Strand on Friday 14 December.

    ASomersetWest couple,whowitnessed the

    accident whilst driving to the beach with a

    friend, related the incident to DistrictMail

    this week.

    The incident occurredaround17:45 inMain

    Road.

    We saw a young woman, probably in her

    late twenties or early thirties, stop in themid-

    dleof theroad (onthewhite line) inanattempt

    to get to the other side. Suddenly I heard a

    siren, and as I looked into my rear view mir-

    ror, I sawaspeedingpolicevanapproaching,

    said oneof thewitnesses anddriver of the car.

    The driver said the police vehicle was ap-

    proaching at a very high speed in the middle

    of the road.

    I slowed down and moved as far left as I

    could in order for police van to pass us. Still

    speeding, the van passed us, but we all knew

    what was about to happen, he says.

    The drivers wife added the pedestrians

    fate was clear and it seemed she knew it.

    When she saw the police van coming her

    way, I could see the fear in her eyes and she

    didnt know what to do.

    She brieflymovedback and then forth, not

    knowingwhere to turn towith the twooncom-

    ing vehicles approaching her.

    The next minute, she was hit by the van

    and flunghigh into theair likea ragdoll, land-

    ing face down on the tar road.

    The witnesses said the police vehicle

    stopped and the two policemen got out and

    stood staring at the scene.

    I understand that they were in shock, but

    its human nature to rush to someones aid

    when they have been hurt, but they just stood

    there, said one of the witnesses.

    Traumatised by the horrific incident and

    infuriated that something like this could hap-

    pen, the driver of the car hooted profusely to

    get the attention of the policemen, but they

    just ignored him.

    He says that initially they also stopped at

    the scene to ask the policemenwhy theywere

    driving so recklessly, but decided against it

    as the incident was too traumatising to ex-

    change words.

    Seeing that theyare thepoliceweassumed

    the incident would be attended to, so we left,

    says the driver.

    The couple says they passed the scene on

    their way home from the beach about 40 min-

    utes later and the police were still there. The

    body, however, had been removed.

    The couple reported the incident to the

    Strand police station the next morning

    around 10:45. Theywanted to act aswitnesses

    for the girl in case the police decided to try

    and cover up what had happened.

    This was a senseless accident and we like

    to see justice take its course and see to it that

    the family of the dead woman receives com-

    pensation.

    It wasnt dark and the road was clear of

    any obscurity. How the policemen did not see

    this girl or give way, is beyond me.

    The Strand police confirmed that a case of

    culpable homicide had been opened against

    the driver of the SAPS vehicle and the case

    is being investigated by the Independent Po-

    lice Investigating Directorate (IPID).

    MUIZENBURGTOMOSSEL BAY

    Father-and-daugterduos

    longwalk forautism

    JAMEY THOMAS

    Gordons Bay was recently includ-

    ed as a pit stop for a seaside stroll

    with a difference.

    OnThursday10January,Robyn(18)

    and Angus Moore (49) from Darling

    started their two-week journeyon foot

    fromMuizenberg to Mossel Bay in an

    attempt to raise awareness of autism.

    On completion of their first 49,2 km

    of their 600 km charity walk, a rest

    stop at the Villa Via Hotel for the

    evening was in order.

    The first time I did this route was

    for the very same cause back in 1987.

    Then Iwas fitter, but now its definite-

    ly more strenuous on the body,

    laughs Angus.

    According to Robyn the walk is

    tougher than she had expected. Your

    feetaresoreandhaveblistersonthem,

    but it is an amazing experience.

    On average this father-and-daugh-

    ter duo will cover about 35 km a day,

    carrying back-packs weighing 15 kg

    each.

    The contents of the back-packs in-

    clude little stoves, crockery and cut-

    lery, and the bare essentials such as

    toiletriesandtwoorthreesetsofcloth-

    ing.

    And as if the trip was not difficult

    enough, the team will be completing

    thewalkwithnoassistancewhatsoev-

    er. We have our cellphones on us in case of

    an emergency, says Angus.

    He also says that the only stops along the

    road are for quick lunch breaks.

    We will pop in at a convenience store and

    purchase the food one would usually pur-

    chase when camping and cook it in our

    stoves.

    Angus says that extensive planning went

    into this event. The accommodation mostly

    hotels, private houses and lodges was spon-

    sored and had to be organised before their

    adventure could start.

    Although we have accommodation, we

    will be sleeping on some of the beaches at

    least for four nights, he says.

    Angus is the founder of Charity-on-the-Go

    which aims to help organisations to raise

    funds by means of collection tins, walks and

    other events or activities. According to him

    the initiativewas sparked by the fact that au-

    tism is the fastest growing disorder in the

    country,andhisyearsof involvement inrais-

    ing funds for autism.

    With this walk we would not only like to

    raise awareness on the issue, but also im-

    plorepeople torendersomeassistance topeo-

    ple with autism in your community, ex-

    plains Angus.

    If anyone would like more information on

    autism and its effects or would like to be put

    in contact with a relevant organisation for

    assistance, please phone Angus on

    082 933 5391.

    With their 15 kg backpacks sitting snug, the deter

    mined pair continued their coastline hugging mis

    sion, here making their way to Rooi Els.

    EIENAARVROEGOGGEND INGEWAG

    Rowers teikenOldBridgeTavern

    ILLANA FRANTZ

    Gee die geld of ek skiet jou!

    Lucas Pretorius, eienaar van die bekende

    Old Bridge Tavern in Somerset-Wes, is Dins-

    dagoggend met di woorde begroet toe hy by

    die kroeg aangekom het.

    Pretorius, wat die kroeg sedert Julie 2006

    het, het ges dat hy op die betrokke oggend

    om 07:00 daar aangekom het. Hy het soos ge-

    woonlik in die parkeerarea agter die gebou

    parkeer en na die kroeg se agterdeur gestap.

    Toe ek so 3 m van die deur af is, het n

    manmet n pistool vanuit n inham langs die

    deur gekom en geld geis, het hy ges.

    Dimanhet duidelike instruksies aanPre-

    torius deurgegee omdie deur oop te sluit, die

    alarm af te skakel en die geld uit die kluis

    te gaanhaal. Die nagwagwat daar naby gesit

    het, is ook saam met Pretorius in die kroeg

    forseer.

    Ons vermoed dat dit n inside job was,

    want die dief het presies geweet waar alles

    is. Hy kon presies vir my s om die alarm

    af te sit en om nie die paniekknoppie te druk

    nie. Hy het ook geweet van ons kameras en

    het gevra ek moet die beeldmateriaal aan

    hom oorhandig.

    Pretorius het aan die dief verduidelik dat

    die beeldmateriaal nie op n CD gelaai is nie,

    waarnahydierekenaarstelselontkoppelhet.

    Behalwe vir die onbekende bedrag geld in

    die kluis waarmee die man gevlug het, het

    hy ook Pretorius se selfoon, twee skootreke-

    naars, identiteitsdokument en bestuurders-

    lisensie,wat in die skootrekenaarsakwas, in

    Pretorius se motor gevlug.

    Op pad uit het die man met Pretorius se

    donkergroenAudiA4met diekroeg-bestuur-

    der se voertuig gebots. Die man se medeplig-

    tiges het hier die bestuurder van sy selfoon,

    iPad en horlosie beroof.

    Nadat die mans gevlug het, het die kroeg-

    bestuurder vir Pretorius en die nagwag ge-

    vind waar hulle in die kantoor toegesluit

    was.Hullehet toediepaniek-knoppiegedruk

    en die polisie ontbied.

    Volgens konstabel Suzan Jantjies, woord-

    voerder van die Somerset-Wes-polisie, het

    vier mans in Pretorius se voertuig, met regi-

    strasie-nommer CEY 15843, ontsnap. n Saak

    van besigheidsroof asook die diefstal van n

    motorvoertuig word ondersoek.

    Indien iemanddiekarherken,wordhulle

    gevra om nie die mans te nader nie, maar

    om eerder die polisie in kennis te stel, het

    sy ges.

    Mense met inligting kan die ondersoekbe-

    ampte, speur-adjudant offisier Hannes Nie-

    mand, by 021 850 1344 bel.

    As ek terugdink moes ek agterdogtig ge-

    raak het toe ek twee mans by die ingang van

    die sentrumsien staanhet. Eenvanhulle het

    op n selfoon gepraat. nMens raak somaklik

    gerus, so ons sal noumeer paraatmoetwees.

    Ek is net bly niemand is beseer nie, het Pre-

    torius ges.

    Kroegeienaar Lucas Pretorius, wys waar die

    dief hom ingewag het.

    Saak van student se dood inmotorongeluk nou in hof

    Die saak van Zelbia Rossi is op Donderdag 6 De-

    sember in die Somerset-Wes-landdroshof ver-

    Dylan Pietersen (24), ook van Macassar, wat

    die aand saammet haar in die motor was, staan

    tereg op n klag van strafbare manslag.

    Rossi, n tweedejaar onderwysstudent, is op

    die toneel dood nadat die motor waarin sy en

    Pietersen gery het omstreeks 23:45met n grens-

    muur op die hoek vanMusicalaan- en Sohstraat

    MACASSAR:WASTEWATER PLANT

    Residentsbreatheeasy

    fire extinguishedat last

    JAMEY THOMAS

    Afterenduringbillowsof smoke

    fordaysonend,Helderbergresi-

    dents can now breathe easy.

    This followsaftera firebrokeout

    near the Macassar wastewater

    treatment works plant on Tuesday

    (8 January), which left firefighters

    battling to extinguish the blaze for

    four days.

    According to Theo Layne,

    spokesperson for the City of Cape

    Towns Fire and Rescue Services,

    22 fire fighters responded to the

    blaze on Tuesday afternoon.

    Initially the suspected cause of

    the fire was spontaneous combus-

    tion of large heaps of dried sewage

    material in one of the sewerage

    drying pans at the plant, spreading to sur-

    rounding vegetation.

    Layne explained this could occur when

    heaps of sewagewere laid out in a pan to dry.

    When naturally dried, the sewage emits

    methane gas, causing heat at the bottom of

    the material and sometimes resulting in

    spontaneous combustion.

    However, Philemon Mashoko, director of

    theCityofCapeTownsWaterandSanitation

    Department, said the fire began as a result

    of a veld fire starting a few metres from a

    sludge lagoon outside the plant, and was

    fanned toward the lagoon by southerly

    winds.

    The dry sludge bed, which caught alight

    and is currently smouldering, is an old dis-

    used sludge pond that has been out of opera-

    tion forover tenyears. It is thereforewell-sta-

    bilised sludge and is not to be confused with

    raw sewage, which is of a completely differ-

    ent nature and more offensive in terms of

    odour and smell, says Mashoko.

    He further explained that the presence of

    the lagoon in the area can be attributed to

    the dewatering system which was installed

    in 1983, which entails dewatering the sludge

    and thereafter removing it to agricultural

    land.

    Front-end loadersandexcavatorswere ini-

    tially used to break open the dried sludge in

    sections in order to dampen the burningma-

    terial, but according to Layne the plan of at-

    tack changed.

    The sludge was too deep to open up and

    dampen down. It was then decided to cover

    the entire area in sand in order to smother

    thefire.Heisof the opinionthatthisprocess

    was the cause of a constant cloud of smoke

    hanging in the air.

    Theprocesswascompleted lastweekwhen

    the last fire and rescue service vehicle left

    the site at 20:30 on Friday (11 January).

    The site was sufficiently covered with

    sand and no further intervention is required

    from the fire services, said Layne.

    According toMashokothesitewas inspect-

    ed on Saturday and Sunday to ensure that

    the status quo remained.

    The air quality is being monitored by the

    air quality monitoring unit of the Citys sci-

    entific services branch, and once the fire has

    been completely doused, it is the intention

    to use the sludge as compost.

    The smoke/fire is well under control and

    any further queries must be directed to the

    management of the Macassar Wastewater

    Treatment Works Plant.

    Personnel at the Macassar clinic and vari-

    ousSomersetWest pharmacies said theyhad

    no influx of people wanting treatment for

    side-effects related to smoke inhalation.

    However, the City urges people suffering

    from such side-effects to visit their nearest

    clinic or contact their local medical practi-

    tioner.

    One of the frontend loaders deposits sand on the fire

    in an attempt to smother the blaze.

    Roofpoging kosMarkhambaie

    ILLANA FRANTZ

    Die bestuurder vanMarkham in Somerset-

    Wes glo die roofpoging wat verlede week

    daar plaasgevind het, het veroorsaak dat

    die besigheid groot skade ly.

    Andr Hough, wat sedert November ver-

    lede jaar die leisels daar oorgeneemhet, het

    ges die publiek is onder n wanindruk ge-

    plaas van die dag se gebeure.

    Luidens berigte het die polisie verlede

    Woensdag n rooftog daar gefnuik en drie

    mansis inhegtenisgeneem.VolgensHough

    is dit egter nie die geval nie.

    n Polisievrou het verby die winkel ge-

    loop en gesien dat een van die klante n

    vuurwapen op hom gehad het. Sy het toe

    die polisie ontbied en binneminutewas die

    plek vol polisiebeamptes. Ek het nie eers

    geweet daar is so baie polisiebeamptes in

    Somerset-Wes nie, het Hough ges.

    Die winkel is afgesper en niemand is toe-

    gelaat om in te komof uit te gaannie.Almal

    is deursoek, maar die beweerde vuurwa-

    pen kon nie gevind word nie.

    Die twee mans wat deur die polisievrou

    wat die oproep gemaak het as verdagte per-

    sone beskryf is, is na die polisiestasie ge-

    neem.Hulle is daar ondervra enhul vinger-

    afdrukke is geneem om te bepaal of hulle

    by ander rooftogte betrokke was.

    Hough s die twee mans het n halfuur

    later teruggekom en items gekoop.

    Ek verstaan dat die polisie net hul werk

    doen,maarekwasnie tevredemethoehulle

    die saak hanteer het nie. Die ander klante

    is gentimideer en ek dink dis die rede hoe-

    kom ons die afgelope naweek so stil was,

    het Hough ges.

    Konstabel Suzan Jantjies, woordvoerder

    van die Somerset-Wes polisie, het ges dat

    diepolisie nklagvan nmoontlike roof ont-

    vang het.

    Omdat die betrokke winkel reeds n tei-

    kenwas,hetdiepolisiedadelikopgetreeom

    te verhoed en te verseker dat niemand seer

    kry nie. Ons plig is ook om die persone te

    in hegtenis te neemwatmet hierdie misda-

    de verbind word.

    Omdat die twee verdagtes geen vuurwa-

    pens op hulle gehad het nie, soos die inlig-

    ting aan ons deurgegee is, is ons genood-

    saak om die twee vry te laat.

    Jantjies het bygevoeg klante wat meen

    dat hulle op die betrokke dag gentimideer

    is, dit by die polisiekantoor moet aanmeld.

    open a barber shop with his

    brother, Kosain, 34 years ago.

    Its something he always

    wanted to do, says Shameez.

    His love for his clients went

    as far as working late hours, or fitting in a

    special appointment for regular customers.

    And Noors customers stayed regulars, with

    two or three generations visiting his shop.

    The community has been so supportive,

    says Shameez. It shows me how much the

    community loved him. People have come to

    our house crying and asking where are they

    going to get a Noor cut now.

    It will certainly not just be Noors haircuts

    that will be missed in the Helderberg.

    To foot the school-feebill

    As if the financial hangover caused by

    the festive season wasnt enough, par-

    ents in theHelderberg nowneed to pay

    betweenR550andR50 000per child for

    this years school fees.

    Martin Leukes, principal at Dr GJ Jou-

    bert Primary School in Strand, says their

    fees have stayed at a constant amount of

    R550 the last three years.

    Wefoundthatparentsonlypayroughly

    about half of that amount per child, so in-

    creasingthefeeswouldntbeofmuchuse.

    He added that the school now has a re-

    sponsibility to educate parents who cant

    afford school fees to come forward.

    Parents need to come to school and ob-

    tain a form to apply for the quittance of

    fees. When its approved by the depart-

    ment of education, the school at least gets

    some formof compensation, saidLeukes.

    Principal at Methodist Primary School

    in Somerset West, Wilbur Hindley, says

    their feeshave increased fromR880 in2012

    to R920 this year. Hindley also corroborat-

    ed Leukes statement, urging parents to

    come forward with proof of their income

    if they cant afford school fees.

    According to Kobus van Schalkwyk,

    headmaster of Somerset West Primary

    School, theirschool feeshave increasedby

    more or less 10% this year. Therefore,

    school fees for the year amounts to R9 260

    per child.

    The increase in school fees is brought

    about by a number of reasons such as,

    whether the school has a swimming pool

    tomaintain,makesuseof educationalaids

    or makes use of special computer pro-

    grammes, said Van Schalkwyk.

    He further said that the fact that the de-

    partment is responsible for paying the sal-

    aries of only a certain number of teachers

    at the school also plays a role in the in-

    crease of school fees.

    The other salaries have to be paid by

    the schools governing body.

    Headmaster of Hendrik Louw Primary

    inStrand,LewellinBrown, said that their

    annual school fees amount to R9 270. He

    says his concern is whether parents will

    be able to pay school fees in the long run

    with fees increasing annually.

    School fees get more expensive each

    year and every year parents find it more

    difficult to come upwith themoney, said

    Brown.

    Parentswhoearnahigh incomeandcan

    afford the quality education provided by

    private schools, would have to fork out be-

    tween R23 976 to R49 656.

    According toTimNuttall, SomersetCol-

    lege headmaster, their fee increase is

    broadly in line with the Education Price

    Index and the schedule of fees is available

    on their website (www.somersetcol-

    lege.org).

    In addition to a limited number of

    scholarships, which are advertised in the

    local press and on our website, the college

    has a small financial assistance fund,

    said Nuttall.

    Die klein fortuin vir

    kinders op skool

    Die koste van skoolfooie is nie die

    enigste kopseer vir ouers nie. Die

    buitensporige koste van uniforms

    en skryfbehoeftes moet ook aan-

    dag geniet.

    DistriksPos het ouers gaan vra

    hoe hulle kop bo water hou.

    Wilma Cloete s: Skoolgoed is nogal duur.

    Ons moet goed soos afrolpapier en kryt

    koop. Ek het al klaar R350 spandeer op my

    kleinkind se skryfbehoeftes, en dis nog nie

    alles nie. Gelukkig het ek n studiepolis wat

    help.

    Nabiel Khan has three children at school,

    two of which are at high school, and says

    he spends a great deal. Its an enormous

    expense. You have to pay for stationary

    and uniforms, and then of course there are

    the fees. I think the fees are any parents

    biggest concern.

    Trudi Fortuin s haar seun Jordan

    is in graad 2 by Laerskool Hen

    drick Louw. Die skool het PNA

    n boksie laat maak met al die

    skryfbehoeftes wat die kinders

    gaan nodig h, soos n woorde

    boek, penne en oortrekgoed. Dis

    R312 vir die boksie, en dit werk

    baie beter uit vir ons ouers.

    Tesla Dickens says that although her child is

    still too young for school, she is worried

    about the expense in the future. The sta

    tionary and clothes are very expensive. Ive

    heard books can cost R1 000, and a blazer

    alone can cost R300.

    Mario Gerte, who has a child at Paul Roos

    Gymnasium in Stellenbosch, says the uni

    form alone cost him around R2 000. And

    thats just for the basics. On top of that,

    youre paying almost R2 000 for school fees

    and transport costs each month.

    Rosina Leewarden says her great

    est expense has been textbooks for

    daughter and Helderberg college

    pupil, Savannah. The textbooks

    have cost R1 400, and thats sec

    ond hand. We also had to buy a

    new uniform. The blazer alone

    costs around R500, but at least

    there are items which you can buy

    at shops like Ackermans to bring

    the cost down.

    Howcananyonedump their dog inabusySWest street?

    On Friday afternoon 10 January,

    two low lives in a bakkie in Bright

    Street, Somerset West were seen

    throwing a black dog, possibly a

    cross between a labrador and a

    border collie, into the street before

    racing off in the direction of the

    golf course, with their distraught

    dog running after them.

    If these sub-humans no longer

    wanted their dog, at the very least

    they could have left him/her at a

    vet (there is one around the corner

    or at the Animal Welfare Society

    just a bit further down the road.

    This is written in the hope that

    these perpetrators will get their

    just deserts somewhere along the

    way. What goes around comes

    around!

    InhonourofNoorSalie barberwhowalked theextramile

    I feel that I have to honour and

    show appreciation and gratitude

    to a friend, barber and a man who

    went the extramile for his clients.

    I knew Noortjie, as we all

    calledhim, forover20years formy

    twice-weekly haircut. His death

    leaves a huge gap in the Helder-

    berg.

    My job requires me to travel all

    over the country and abroad. One

    of the challenges I faced was when

    to go formy regular haircuts. I dis-

    cussed this with Noor and he said

    this should not be a problem, you

    can call me anytime and Ill cut

    your hair.

    At first I went for my haircut af-

    terhours, atareasonabletime,but

    as my travel schedule became

    more hectic, after hours became

    22:00 and later.

    Sometimes I felt too bad to call

    whenIarrivedhome lateandNoor

    wouldcallandaskwhenIwascom-

    ing for a hair cut. These after-

    hours sessions had us chatting

    about the news of the day and the

    goings on in the Helderberg.

    As if late at night was not bad

    enough I sometimes went for a

    haircut just after 04:00 on my way

    to the airport.

    Noor also became the barber for

    my friends from the USA and UK

    on their visits to me.

    I jokingly said to a friend yester-

    day that Ill most probably have to

    grow an afro now.

    I developed respect for Noor in

    many ways and one of the charac-

    teristics I admired about him was

    the unconditional love he had for

    his children and he we would do

    anything for them. His children

    losta father, friendandrolemodel.

    He was truly committed to his

    job and the thousands of people

    whose hair he cut over the years.

    I dont think he ever took a holi-

    day, because he was always there.

    I am thankful that I had the op-

    portunitytomeet thisremarkable,

    humble man who was an absolute

    master at what he did. It was al-

    ways service with a smile.

    Motorists speeding inOldenlandRoadareadisgrace

    Some18monthsagoImovedhouse

    into Oldenland Road, thinking it

    would be a quiet and peaceful

    neighbourhood.Howwrong Iwas.

    From around 05:00 every day

    speeding cars wake me up, and I

    am quite sure many other resi-

    dents as well. There are three to

    four cars which race down Olden-

    land Road at speeds which I esti-

    mate to be anything between 100

    to 120 km, and sometimes exceed-

    ing this speed, normally before

    07:00 during weekdays.

    As this is a residential area, the

    speed limit is 60 km. My guess is

    that 60 to 70% of motorists using

    this road exceed the speed limit.

    This is a disgrace!

    In light of the above, I propose

    that themunicipality install speed

    bumps similar to those on Paarl

    Valley Road near the Parel Vallei

    High School, which force motor-

    ists to slow down.

    Alternatively, if any traffic offi-

    cial would like to bank a fortune

    inspeeding fines for themunicipal

    coffers, Oldenland Road is the

    place to be.

    In the interim, I shall start col-

    lecting car registration numbers

    from those vehicles who continue

    to speed,with a view to publishing

    them.

    ANGUS WAUGH

    Back to school blues

    or sheerbliss ?

    There isnodoubt thatmanyaparent

    of a school-going child breathed a

    huge sigh of relief when their chil-

    drenwentback to school onWednes-

    day.

    There were also many parents,

    taking their grade one children to

    school for the first time, who proba-

    bly felt nervous about taking their

    little ones to school for the first time.

    Whatever the emotions experi-

    enced by parents, one thing is clear

    and that is getting a child off to

    school is not cheap. (See story and

    more photos on pages 6 and 7).

    The other concern some of these

    parents will have is whether the

    education their children will be re-

    ceiving will be of a high enough

    standard for future tertiary studies.

    However, theHelderberg is gener-

    ally known for its good schools,

    teachers and principals and for the

    highstandardof educationprovided

    in the area.

    Just a glance at the many out-

    standing results achieved by the pu-

    pils whowrote the senior certificate

    examinations last year is clearproof

    of this.

    Well done toSenior

    Certificate candidates

    I would like to congratulate Tara Oost-

    huizen, Francois Rolihlahla Meyer and

    JC Schoeman from Parel Vallei High

    School that came out as top achievers

    in theWestern Cape during the 2012 Na-

    tional Senior Certificate exam.

    I would also like to thank all grade 12

    teachers and pupils at both Parel Vallei

    and Hottentots Holland High schools

    that contributed to their irrespective

    schools success that lead to thewonder-

    ful achievement.

    Aspecialmentionshouldalsobemade

    Road-tripping is something of a

    lifestyle forHeatherWaters.Since

    thebeginningofhercareershehas

    notstoodstill,performingherfolk

    rock guitar tunes in villages,

    towns and cities from Cape Town

    to Corsica.

    Alone or with a band, Waters ex-

    pressive guitar rhythms, honest lyr-

    ics, and passionate energy draw you

    into her performances.

    Since2004,BritishbornWatershas

    been writing and creating a definite

    style and sound to her work which is

    lending to the musical success that

    she has today. After many years of

    regularly travelling with her music

    betweentheUKandSouthAfrica,she

    returned in 2006, for a longer visit to

    Cape Town, with bundles of new

    songs and an evenmore richly devel-

    oped style. Here she recorded and re-

    leased her first full album Lyrics in

    My Pocket in March 2007.

    Heather Waters and her band left

    Cape Town, and travelled on a series

    of tours along the East Coast of South

    Africa, performing at backpackers,

    festivals and live music venues, re-

    leasing her EP Hope you are Happy.

    The year 2009 saw Waters travel-

    ling theMediterranean toenjoyasea-

    son of busking in the famous plazas,

    and performing in restaurants and

    music clubs, wherever she went. On

    returning to Cape Town at the end of

    that year, two of Waters songs Rain-

    bows and Being on a Boat were fea-

    tured on the Billabong Girls Get Out

    There TV Series in SA.

    The following year, Waters re-

    leased her second EP The Money

    Came In Today and soon after was se-

    lected by PANSA (Performing Arts

    Network of South Africa), to perform

    at the FIFA 2010 World Cup Football

    celebrations in Cape Town. 2011 and

    parts of 2012 saw Waters more often

    in studio thanon stage,with prepara-

    tions for her next album, which was

    recorded at Farmyard Studios in the

    Helderberg.

    Although always on the move, Wa-

    ters has spent most of the last three

    years settled in the Helderberg and

    subsequently she will be performing

    a few free entry gigs in the area.

    These acoustic shows will take

    placeatPrimiPiatti inSomersetWest

    Identify bogus colleges

    Authorities, including SAPS and the depart-

    ment of higher education, are issuing warn-

    ings for prospective students to steer clear

    of bogus colleges and educational scams.

    DrFelicityCoughlan, director of The Inde-

    pendent Institute of Education, says that be-

    cause the private higher education sector is

    highly regulated in SouthAfrica, with infor-

    mation readily available in prescribed for-

    mats, it is easy to identify credible institu-

    tions and their campuses if you know what

    to look for. Coughlan says prospective stu-

    dents can do the following checks:

    ) All private higher education institu-

    tions need to be registered with the depart-

    ment. Any credible campus must be able to

    showacertificate to that effect,whichdetails

    the campus, provider and qualifications.

    ) All higher education qualifications

    need to be accredited by the Higher Educa-

    tion Quality Committee of the Council on

    Higher Education.

    ) All qualificationsmust be registered on

    the National Qalifications Framework by

    South African Qualifications Authority.

    Overthepast21yearsinbusiness,Pre-

    be the top Pastel dealer in SA, as 60 to

    70% of SA businesses use Pastel.

    We invest a lot of time and resources

    to offer a professional service around

    Pastel Payroll. With all the laws around

    salaries, having a good Payroll system

    in place is crucial.

    At times it may be very difficult to

    understandall the rulesandregulations

    around doing salaries and therefore it

    is ideal to have an automated payroll

    system for your business, says Rico

    Ferreira, managing director of Pre-

    ferred Solutions.

    He added that SARS also supports the

    idea of businesses using this type of ac-

    cepted, approved and professional pay-

    roll system.

    RAISING FUNDS TO EXTEND GB LIBRARY: The staff and Friends of the

    Gordons Bay Library hopes to achieve their goal of raising R400 000 by the

    middle of the year, which will go towards extending the library. To date we

    have raised the sum of R16 350, but we hope the residents and businesses in

    Gordons Bay will open up their hearts and wallets for this worthy cause. If

    this dream becomes a reality, with the funds raised for the extension to the li

    brary, children will finally have a wonderful and spacious area in which to

    enjoy all the facilities available to them at the library, said Bronwyn Hofmeyr

    from the Friends. For more information, phone Peter Newell on 021 856

    1088. Staff and friends (from the left) are Ayanda Mangcotywa, Gretel Marais

    (head librarian), Mae Kuscus, Alice Alexander and Linda Bruwer.
