Ontbloter

vasgetrek

DELIAH BRINKHUIS

Die langarmvandie gereghet nbeweer-

de ontbloter van die Strand bygekom.

Die 37-jarige man het Maandag in die

Strand-landdroshof op n aanklag van onse-

delike ontbloting verskyn.

Hy is Sondag in hegtenis geneemnadat hy

homselfopverskeiegeleenthedeaan n16-ja-

rige meisie in die Goedehoop-woongebied

ontbloot het.

Volgens die minderjarige se ma, wat nie

haar naam genoem wil h nie, het die man

hom verlede Dinsdag die eerste keer aan

haar dogter ontbloot.

Die voorval het omstreeks 07:15 in die

Strand naby Dampark gebeur toe haar dog-

ter, n student, op pad Boland Kollege toe

was.

Volgensdiemahetdieman in n rooi, ouer

modelVolkswagenJettageryenhaardogter

gevolg tot in PhilMostertstraat, waar hy ge-

parkeer het. My dogter het verby die kar

geloop en gesien hoe hy sy broek losmaak

terwyl hy vir haar kyk, het sy vertel.

Volgens die vrou het die motor weer die

volgende oggend in di straat gestaan.

Hierdie keer, s sy, was die man se broek

reeds oop en het hy met sy geslagsdele ge-

speel toe haar dogter verby die motor loop.

Die vrou s dat sy en haar man woedend

was toe hulle daarvan hoor en dat haarman

besluithetomdievolgendeoggendsaammet

sydogter te loopomdie ontbloter vas te trek.

Haarmanhet, soosbeplan,dieDonderdag-

oggend saammet sy dogter geloop, maar die

beweerde seksuele oortreder was toe nie

daar nie.

Volgens haar dogter het sy egter sy motor

in die omgewing sien ry en het sy vermoed

hulle het hom dalk gemis omdat sy en haar

pa n paar minute vroer geloop het.

Volgens diemawas haar dogter verlig toe

die rooi Jetta nie die volgende oggend (Vry-

dag) in Phil Mostertstraat gestaan het nie.

Sy het egter die motor verder op haar roete

in Palmstraat opgemerk.

Volgens diemeisiewas dieman reeds be-

sig om met homself te speel toe sy verby

die motor geloop het en het hy na bewering

na haar gekyk en ges kom hierso.

Diemeisiehetdieontblotergekonfronteer

en aan hom gevra wat soek jy?, waarop

hy, terwylhysteedsaansygeslagsdelegevat

het, na bewering geantwoord het, n stuk-

kie.

Volgens die vrou het haar dogter probeer

om n foto vanhommethaar selfoon teneem

en het hy sowaar vir die foto gesit. Haar

selfoon het egter nie n flits nie en sy kon

nie n duidelike foto van hom neem nie.

Volgens die ma het sy ook Horskool

Strand endie kollege gebel omhulle teendi

seksuele oortreder te waarsku.

Sy s die gesin het Sondag die saak by die

Strand-polisie aangemeld. Haar dogter het

die registrasienommer van dieman se voer-

tuig aan die polisie gegee wat hulle tot by

sy adres gelei het.

My man sou hom doodmaak as hy weer

die Maandagoggend daar was, s sy.

Die polisie is kort daarna na die beweerde

ontbloter se huis, maar volgens sy vrouwas

hy en hul kinders skynbaar kerk toe.

Die vrou s voorts dat sy geskok was toe

sy die man, wat homself by die polisiekan-

toor aangemeld het, gesien het. Dis nou

soos hulle s, dit kan jou buurman wees.

Hy het heeltemal normaal gelyk; ek het my

geheel en al iemand anders voorgestel.

Die saak word deur die polisie se eenheid

vir gesinsgeweld, kindermishandeling en

seksuelemisdrywe (FCS) ondersoek.Mense

met inligting wat met die ondersoek kan

help, kan konstabel Jerome Mosia by

072 833 7735 bel.

Die man is borgtog van R1 000 toegestaan

en sal weer op 23 Augustus in die hof ver-

skyn.

KLOKTORING GROET: Konstruksiewerkers staan Dinsdag hier by die NG StrandNoord se

kerkgebou in Brandstraat, waar die 61jaar oue kloktoring tans gesloop word. Die gemeenskap

het gemengde gevoelens oor die sloop van hierdie bekende baken. Lees die artikel op bladsy 6.

Beamptes

aangekla

ILLANA FRANTZ

Vier beamptes van die departement

van korrektiewe dienste is van min-

agting van die hof aangekla n hul

weiering om n hofbevel uit te voer.

Die voorval het hom Maandag in die

Strand-landdroshof afgespeel toe Lu-

vuyo Kakaza (37) en Brian Mas (35) op

n aanklag van roof met verswarende

omstandighede verskyn het.

Kakaza het geweier dat die polisie vir

ondersoekdoeleindes n foto van hom

neem en landdros Karen Scheepers het

die ondersoekbeampte beveel om dit te

doen. Hy het n Samsung Galaxy-tablet

gehad om die foto te neem, maar die be-

skuldigde het geweier omsykopvir die

foto op te lig en het die tablet uit die be-

ampte se hand gestamp.

Diehof is toe verdaag endie regshulp-

raadwatKakazaverteenwoordig,hetsy

regte aan hom verduidelik. Hy is later

weer ingeroep en die saak is hervat.

Dieondersoekbeamptehetaandiehof

gevra of die beskuldigde se hande agter

sy rug geboei kanwordvir syveiligheid

terwyl die foto geneemword. Scheepers

het toe die beamptes van die departe-

mentvankorrektiewedienste gevraom

dit te doen, maar hulle wou nie. Hulle

het aangevoer dat hulle die beskuldigde

onder hul name by die tronkuitgeteken

het enverantwoordelik souwees indien

enigiets met hom gebeur.

Ondanks die landdros se vermanings

het hulle die hof verlaat. Scheepers het

daarnadiehofordonnansegevraomhul

werk te doen en die beskuldigde te boei

waarna die ondersoekbeampte die foto

kon neem. Scheepers het ges video-op-

names is in die ondersoek ter sprake en

n foto van die beskuldigde is noodsaak-

lik vir die ondersoek. Sy het die hof ver-

laat terwyl die foto geneem is om nie

haar uitspraak te benvloed nie.

Staatsaanklaer Clement Abrahams

het n ondersoekbeampte van die

Strand-polisie ontbied om die saak aan

temeldendiebeamptesvandiedeparte-

ment van korrektiewe dienste aan te

kla.

Sigarette

Sigarette met n geraamde

waardevanR60 000isgebuitn

n inbraak by Mr T Tobacco op

Gordonsbaai verlede week.

Die oortreders het vermoedelik

Woensdagnag toegang tot die be-

sigheidsperseelverkrydeur ngat

in die muur te kap.

Volgens winkelassistent Alida

Pietersen het sy net n 07:00 Don-

derdagoggend die winkel oopge-

sluit en die inbraak ontdek.

VolgensPietersenhetsyonmid-

dellik opgelet dat die rakke leeg

was. Sy was nog meer geskok toe

sy verder ondersoek instel en die

gat in die muur onder die wasbak

in die kombuis ontdek.

Volgens die eienaar, Johan

Breunissen, is daar ook in Janua-

rie 2011 by die besigheid inge-

breek en sigarette ter waarde van

R80 000 gesteel. Breunissen s dat

die oortreders toe deur die gebou

se dak toegang verkry het.

N hierdie inbraak het hy vir

ekstra veiligheid, benewens die

bestaande alarmstelsel, ook die

sekuriteitraamwerk wat die in-

brekers aanvanklik probeer oop-

breek het, laat vassweis.

Breunissen is egterverstomoor

hoe die diewe in die onlangse

voorval nie die alarm laat afgaan

het nie. Volgens Breunissen ver-

moed die sekuriteitsmaatskappy

dat die inbrekers oor die vloer ge-

kruip het nadat hulle deur die

muur geklim het.

Hy sluk egter swaar aan di pil

aangesien die alarmstelsel vol-

gens homs sensitief is dat die be-

weging van n muis dit op n keer

laat afgaan het.

Breunissensdat n tweedesen-

sor aan die voorkant van die win-

kel ooknie die oortreders bespeur

het nie.

Mense met inligting kan speur-

konstabel Wesley McDonald by

021 856 2677 bel.

Kloktoring van

NGkerkgesloop

ILLANA FRANTZ

Die kloktoring van die NG

KerkStrand-Noord inBrand-

straat het Dinsdag vir die

laaste keer gelui.

Planne om die bekende ba-

ken, wat in 1952 opgerig is, te

sloop het gister n werklikheid

geword.

Die besluit om die toring te

verwyder is die gevolg van n

sterk wind wat die boonste ge-

deelte van die toring in Februa-

rie vanjaar afgeruk het. Dit het

op die kerk se dak beland en

groot skade aangerig.

Die toring, wat sowat 32 m

hoog is en sowat 70 ton weeg, se

klok is Dinsdag vir 10 minute

aaneen gelui.

Volgens die kerk se skriba,

CominePienaar,wasdiebesluit

om van die toring ontslae te

raak, nie n maklike een nie.

N die skade in Februarie

het die kerkraad n ingenieur

geraadpleeg. Hy het bevind dat

om die toring te herstel nie fi-

nansieel sinvol sou wees nie.

Pienaarhetbygevoegdatdaar

mense is wat hartseer is om die

toring te verloor, maar dat die

veiligheidsrisiko wat daarmee

gepaardgaan, swaarderweegas

die sentimentele waarde.

Na verneem word sal die to-

ring in drie seksies afgebreek

word.

Pienaar het ges dat daar nog

nie besluit is wat met die klok

van die toring gaan gebeur nie,

maar daar is sprake dat dit op

die een of ander manier steeds

behoue sal bly.

Burglars tactics revealedonvideo

DELIAH BRINKHUIS

A burglar who broke into the

Star Express courier company

in Gants Centre on Tuesday

made off with a computer.

According to owner Ettienne

Lezar this is the second break-in

his business had suffered in two

months. In May two computers

were stolen.

He could, however, on a previ-

ous occasion stop men who were

about to remove and steal batter-

ies fromthecompanys trucks that

were parked in front of the office.

In the most recent incident ac-

cesswasgainedbyremovingaside

window and the burglar bars.

On video footage that Lezar

showed DistrictMail, a flash light

is shone into the security camera

at about 01:45, followed by a slim

man, wearing white skinny jeans

and a light-grey hoody jacket,

climbing through a side window.

The burglar bars are placed on the

inside of the office floor from be-

hind the blinds. The intruder

moves straight to his right where

he takesa laptopbefore exiting the

building from where he had en-

tered.

Last week the DistrictMail also

reported on a break-in at another

Gants Centre business, Global

Screenprinters, where computer

equipment was also stolen.

Anyone with information can

phone Detective Constable Regi-

nald May on 021 854 9100.

Bevigilant ondustbinday

I would like to register a word of

caution to Helderberg residents

who put their wheelie bins out on

a dark winters morning before

setting off for work.

My husband opened our elec-

tronic gates and wheeled out the

dustbin at 07:10 on the prescribed

day, then went back to the garage

which is approximately three me-

tres away, to fetch the recycling

bag.

At that point he was attacked

and mugged, blindfolded, gagged,

thrown onto the floor, dragged in-

side and his hands and feet were

tied up by two assailants.

After 40minutes of selective pil-

fering, the thieves left by foot, let-

ting themselves out with the keys

to our home and the remote.

Remarkably my husband was

shaken but unhurt. Our security

response and the police arrived

within moments of being called,

followedshortlybya traumacoun-

sellor.

We were very impressed by eve-

ryones efficiency and compas-

sion, and a security guard was

posted outside until a locksmith

had changed the locks and remote

frequencies.

We are living in very challeng-

ing times and there is a great need

to be extra vigilant about our secu-

rity and safety.

Thanks to the staff at

BuildersWarehouse

Id like to send out a huge thank you to

the staff at Builders Warehouse who as-

sisted me when my boyfriend had a sei-

zure in their store.

They called the ambulance, helpedme

makehimcomfortable and evenwent as

far as ringing up the items inmy trolley

and loading them in my car.

I have never experienced such amaz-

ing service!

Id also like to thank a fellow shopper

who stayed with me, watched my bag

andevenoffered todrivemeto thehospi-

tal. I didnt manage to get her name but

I hope she reads this.

Its really nice to know that there are

still such special people in Somerset

West.

Bealert toall

possible

dangers

Crime in theHelderberghas escalat-

ed to such an extent that residents

taking their wheelie bins out when

darknowfacethereal threatofbeing

attacked (see letter Be vigilant on

dustbin day on this page).

Despite more and more people

building higher walls with electric

fencing on top of them, installing se-

curity gates, cameras and alarms as

well as employing security compa-

nies, thecriminals still seemtopros-

per.

Whatmoremustwedotokeepour-

selves and families safe and out of

harms way?

TheSouthAfricanPoliceServices

and the numerous security compa-

nies operating within the Helder-

berg do their best to stem the flow

of crime, but they dont seem to be

coping.

The SAPS have asked residents to

help them fight crime by beingmore

vigilant, to join neighbourhood

watches and to report suspicious-

looking people hanging around in

their neighbourhoods.

These may seem like simplistic

steps to follow, but the SAPS have

assured residents these measures

will help them to catch criminals.

So be alert and double check your

surroundings before you step out-

side.

ABOUT THE CARTOON: The cellphone impoundment bylaw was initiated in the Helderberg on 1

July. Motorists caught using their cellphones while driving will receive a fine of R500 and their cell

phone will be confiscated. An additional R1 000 will have to be paid to retrieve you cellphone.

Treknet-vissermannestel hul kant vandie saak

Graag wil ek as permithouer om

vis tevangmet n treknet, beswaar

maak teen u koerant se eensydige

berig op bladsy drie (DistriksPos,

11 Julie).

Onsword as die groot sondebok-

keuitgekrytofonsdieseesobeska-

dig dat daar eendag geen meer vis

in die see sal wees nie.

Die idee wat deur die berig ge-

skepword, isdatons nklompskol-

lies is wat niks omgee nie.

U koerant skryf oor ons, maar

hulle het nog nooit ons kant van

die saak gehoor nie.

Wel, hier is n paar feite oor ons:

Die permit om vis te trek is in 1996

aanmy pa, wyle Pieter Jacobs uit-

gereik as sosiale ekonomiese be-

magtiging. N sy dood het my ma

dit oorgegee en n haar dood is dit

aan my oorgedra.

Tans is ons n spanvan 20mense

waarvan drie vroue is. Die vroue

is almal enkelouers en indien hul-

lenievisvangnie,hethulleniekos

op die tafel nie.

Danisdaarookmeeras50mense

van die gemeenskap wat altyd by

die see is met wie ons, ons vangste

deel.

Wanneeronsvis trek isdaarspe-

sies wat ons nie neem nie en word

dit en die ondermaat vis terug in

die see gesit.

In die berig word geen melding

gemaakvanhoedie StadKaapstad

die natuur, veral die seelewe langs

die Valsbaai-kus, verkrag nie.

Gedurende 2012 en vroeg in 2013

was daar verskeie rioolstortings

in die Strand waar miljoene liter

rouriool indieSoetwaterrivierge-

loop het en by Greenways in die

see gestort het.

Ook het daar riool in die storm-

waterstelsel by Onverwachtstraat

beland wat ook in die see beland

het.

Die riviermond by Macassar

word as die broeiplek van die wit

steenbras bestempel omdat die vis

opdie garnalevoed.Maardit isnie

meer so nie, want daar is niemeer

garnale te vind nie. Dit as gevolg

van die twee rioolplase Zandvliet

enMacassar wat rioolwater in die

rivier pomp en dan loop dit in die

see uit.

Die berig praat ook nie van hen-

gelaarswatmet hulle 4x4-voertuie

die kus te Macassar asook die dui-

ne stukkend ry nie.

Ek hoop ons kant van die saak

sal dieselfde dekking geniet as die

van die hengelaars.

EDWIN JACOBS

Dankie vir u brief mnr. Jacobs.

Die inligting wat ons in ons koerant

op 11 Junie op bl. 3 gebruik het, is deur

verskeie persone op verskillende tye aan

ons gerapporteer, met fotos as bewyse.

Ons het probeer om u in die hande

te kry, maar was onsuksesvol.

Die doel van die artikel was om aan

ons lesers te verduidelik dat diewit steen-

braswat indienetgevang is, nbedreigde

spesie is en die getalle van di spesie is

vinnig besig om af te neem.

Die artikel het net gefokus op die trek-

netvangsteenopgeenanderaspekte soos

riool of 4x4-voertuie op die strand nie.

Myhappybirthdayat MediClinicVergelegen

OnMonday 15 July I had an emer-

gency operation at MediClinic

Vergelegen and I can only heap

praise on the exceptional treat-

ment I received from admissions,

the nursing staff inWardG and es-

pecially Dr Keet.

Six years ago I had three opera-

tions close together which left me

traumatised. The doctors and staff

were sympathetic to my last expe-

riencemincredible in their under-

standing and in quellingmy fears.

Just before the operation I told

the surgeon, Dr Beyers and anaes-

thetist, Dr Keet that I had every

confidence in them, but as the fol-

lowing day was my birthday and

the next morning I expected them

inmyroomtosinghappybirthday.

The next day they were there

with good news that all had gone

well.Unfortunately they said their

talents lay elsewhere, not in sing-

ing but they had come to wish me

well on my birthday.

The ward staff then came in to

give me a slice of lemon meringue

pie with a candle to celebrate my

birthday.Sixyears later Imust say

the food has improved and it was

a pleasure at every meal to enjoy

the fare that helped me recover.

To Dr Beyers and Dr Keet plus

sister Jones and her staff in Ward

G, a great big thank you. Being in

hospital for ones birthday is not

recommended,butwhatanincred-

ible experience; definitely a birth-

day to remember.

I am aware that dogs are allowed west of

One evening I watched the sadly familiar

sight of an unsupervised hound, assume the

characteristic bow-legged posture and, with

shivers of effort, deliver a steaming mound

into the path of the strolling public.

The owner, being singled out by the trium-

phant return of his pet, obstinately refused

to respond to my polite request that he take

responsibility for the hygiene of our public

Dierevergiftiger, neemgerusvan joueiemedisyne

Hiermee wil ek graag n versoek rig aan die

persoon wat dit goed gedink het om gif uit

te sit vir ongewenste dierewat hulle nie kan

verdra nie, in di geval een van my katte,

Mia.

Neem n dosis van u eie gif en vra u gelief-

des om nader te staan en te aanskou hoe u

erge hart kloppings begin kry, verward

raakenstelselmatigbeginverlamraak.Dan

begin u rondrol en geluide maak, onaardse

geluide, u begin roggel en het geen beheer

oor u liggaam funksies nie.

Die pyn is onbeskryflik maar u is nog ge-

lukkig want u kan stap vir stap die pyn wat

u deurmaak nog beskryf, nie soos n troetel-

dier nie in die geval my kat Mia.

Daar staan in die Bybel geskryf dat diere

op hierdie aarde geplaas is vir ons as mens

om na hulle om te sien en te versorg nie

om willens en wetens gif uit te sit en hulle

te vergiftig nie.

Dis die ergste dingwat nmens aan n dier

of mens kan doen.

Nou wil ek by u weet, skinder diere van

n mens? Beswadder hul n mens? Steel hul-

le, pleeg hulle bedrog?

Alhierdiegedrag isdeelvandiemensdom

en nog vele meer en erger dinge wat die

mens doen soos om diere te vergiftig!

Indien n dier so nwrewel in jou binneste

wakker maak dat jy hom moet vergiftig,

gaan sien die eienaar en tree soos n be-

skaafde, welopgevoede mens op!

Wanneer n kat of hond u eiendom betree

en n brief in jou tuin los, vra die eienaar

omdit te komskoonmaak. Spuit die dier nat

met n tuinslang. Kry Citronella-olie, ver-

dun ditmet water en spuit die dier daarmee

hulle leer gou om weg te bly en dis skade-

loos!

Meneer of Mevrou, ek vertrou julle sal n

rustige nagrus h aangesien julle in jul doel

geslaaghet om nonskuldigedier diewreed-

aardigste pyn toe te dien.

Laastens wil ek hiermee graag vir dr. De

Wet en haar kollega, van die Country Ani-

malClinic, uit diediepevanmyhartbedank

vir hulle vinnige optrede om Mia se lewe

te red.

Ook n baie groot dankie aan Yolanda van

PetPals wat vir my en Mia by die huis kom

haal het en veearts toe gejaag het.

Please sort outwaterproblem inGordonsBay

Firstly, Iwould like to thankJohanMiddleton

for helping to sort out the walkway problem

in Gordons Bay - 10 out of 10, and the thanks

of all who use the walkway along the beach

front.

One oversight - the steps across the water-

fall drain is not wheelchair-friendly, but I

suppose we should be grateful.

Again we have a problem, but this time a

health risk to all Gordons Bay residents.

For the last month or two, from the start of

the rainy season, the water quality has gone

from bad to atrocious and is totally undrink-

able thats if you dont mind drinking water

that tastes like Bexadust or heavy chlorine

(which I am sure is just to cover the Bexadust

smell and taste).

I sayBexadust, because it is thesmell Iknow

fromdustingroses this couldbeanother type

of chemical that is used on apple trees or the

like.

Even showering or bathing in this water is

probably a danger, especially to the aged and

the young.

A lot of people are getting sick with diar-

rhoea, intestinal worms, unusually very bad

headaches and the only difference to the peo-

ples day to day lives and diets is the water

quality.

This could land up getting far worse. As to

our knowledge, no one has yet died, but then

we dont really know, do we?

My call to the powers that be is this: please

get this problemsortedout asquicklyaspossi-

ble. No other area has been affected as badly

as ours (again not that we are aware of) and

it seems to me that there is a lack of control

at the water works and they seem unable (or

unwilling) to sort the problem out.

Please let us not get as bad as Gauteng or

theLimpopoProvinceas farasbadwaterqual-

ity is concerned. We really dont need this to

add to our problems.

I amapensioner and I amspending approxi-

mately R10 to R15 a day for clean drinkingwa-

ter from Spar (they are smiling though).

The government does not payme enough to

buy water to drink which I should be getting

from my tap. This is not right. I am not the

only one moaning, believe me.

nRukgeledekry ek

n e-pos van n jong

Amerikaanse stu-

dent wat haar na-

graadse tesis doen

oor, van alle dinge,

plaaslike Afrikaan-

Sy is in dieKaap vir

O, vir n Gautrein in

binnekort verpligtend

stuur en benut word.

As ek in my hart seker was dat

die nodige kundigheid beskikbaar

is en dat ons swaarverdiende sente

nie in die bodemlose put van kor-

rupsie sal beland nie, sou ek een

van die eerste wees om op te staan

en te s: Ja, bou maar julle stella-

Maar hoe kan mens nou seker

wees van sulke dinge?

Ratels: Velskoen, of te wel Fanie

Ferreira, is op pad na Ratels, n

somerskool op n wildsplaas in die

Laeveld. Dis waar n groep jong

mense uit alle lae van die samele

wing bymekaarkom om meer oor

hulself, die lewe en die natuur te

leer.

Maar as hulle gedink het dit gaan

n lekker kuierpaartie wees, maak

hulle n groot fout. Want sommer

gou kry hulle te doen met gewe

tenlose wildstropers en word hul le

wens en die bestaan van die skool

bedreig.

Danda: Danda het net agt dae om

by sy pa uit te kom, anders verloor

hy als. Sonder om vir enigiemand

behalwe OuFaans van sy planne

te vertel, vertrek hy vroegoggend

op sy tuisgemaakte vlot na die ha

we waar sy pa en di se skip is.

By hom is sy nagapie Sindo, die

kraai Kiki, die mank rateltjie en sy

hond Vlooi. Hy was nog nooit so

lank op sy eie nie. En sal die vlot

hou? Maar hy doen dit alles net vir

sy pa dis al wat hy die heeltyd

vir homself s. Nou het die tyd ge

kom. dat hy sy pa begin help.

Kosblik: n Boeiende blik op kos

deur skrywers, digters, joernaliste,

essayiste, koskenners, woordvrate

en ander skeppers. Saamgestel

deur Nicole Jaekel Strauss.

Hubertas Journey: After the nights

grazing, Nosibanzi led his herd

back into the river. The water felt

strange. Choppy waves were ris

ing, slapping against their bellies,

the sand was shifting under their

feet. Suddenly Nosibanzi saw a

wall of water seething towards

them. His bellow of warning was

drowned as a dark tide lifted them

all and swept them out through the

river mouth into the sea.

Less Than Zero: Filled with relent

less drinking in seamy bars and

glamourous nightclubs, wild, drug

fuelled parties and dispassionate

sexual encounters, Less Than Zero

narrated by Clay, an eighteen

yearold student returning home to

Los Angeles for Christmas is a

fierce coming of age story, justifia

bly celebrated for its unflinching

depiction of hedonistic youth, its

brutal portrayal of the inexorable

consequences of such moral de

pravity and its authors refusal to

chastise such behaviour.

Hartepad: Watter soort pad is dan

nou n hartepad? Is dit bloot n

pad van die hart? Of het dit wel

met n ware hardepad te doen? Dit

is n mengsel van albei, want reis

is blootstellend. Jy ervaar die on

gerief, maar as jy terugkom, ont

hou jy net die uniekheid, die mooi

heid, die betekenisvolheid van dit

waaraan jy blootgestel was. Elke

storie is n reisstorie, maar vat jou

nie net na mooi plekke toe nie, dit

vat jou op n emosionele reis ook.

Soort van n reis na binnetoe.

Daars baie onthou van kleintyd se

SPREADING LOVE: The Grade 13 pupils of Beaumont Primary

joined hands on their playground to sing happy birthday to Madiba

and to pray for all South African pupils who are less fortunate than

themselves. Beaumont spokesperson Carol Viljoen said, Instead of

doing one project as a school, it was decided to spread the circle of

caring wider. Each Beaumont family was asked to do something for

67 minutes on the day after school and pupils shared in class what

they had done; from visiting the old age home, helping at the SPCA,

taking food to the car guards, picking up 67 pieces of litter on the

beach and painting the church office wall. Viljoen said the teachers

were touched by the level of caring that occurs in our community.

MUSIC REVUE: Hendrik Louw Primary will pay tribute to their

principal Lewellin Brown on 68 August with a revue, Memory

Lane. Brown is retiring this year. Tickets for the revue are on sale
