Hospital: anightofwaitingDELIAH BRINKHUIS

Poorconditionsandserviceat theHelderberg Hospital are onceagain in the spotlight after it took12 hours for a patient to be diag-nosed and given medicine lastWednesday.

And this was during the pa-tient’ssecondvisittothehospi-tal that day. He had given uponbeinghelpedbyareception-ist who was conducting whatappeared to be a personal con-versation, and returned hometo rather have himself admit-ted to the hospital by ambu-lance.Les Carelse, a Sir Lowry’s

Pass resident, was sufferingfrom severe chest pain andshortness of breath on Wednesdayevening.According to his daughter, Mon-

iqueCarelse, theirGPhaddiagnosedher father with cardiac failure andan enlarged liver the previousweek.They went to the hospital at 21:00,

butwaitedforthereceptionisttocon-

cludehis conversationon thephone.Theyleftaftertenminutesasthecon-versationwas still continuing. Theyreturned home and decided to havetheir father admitted to the hospitalby ambulance instead.Carelse was not allowed to go

through to the Emergency Wardwith her father when he was admit-

ted, but had to wait in the generalwaiting area. She said that at thetime, about 15 patients werewaitingto be helped.Among these patients was an

elderly woman sitting in a wheel-chair, wrapped in a blanket, while a

man, with his face covered inblood, was lying on the floor.The elderly woman was

from Grabouw and Carelsewas told that she had been atthe hospital since 08:00 thatmorning.Some six hours after their

arrival – at 05:30 – a doctor at-tended to Carelse’s fatherfor the first time, monitor-ing his heartbeat. The doc-tor concluded that X-rayshad to be conducted.Another three hours

passed before the X-rayswere finally done. Afterthis, a further forty-fiveminutes passed with nooneattending to them.Car-else then approached a nurse toask that a doctor review the

X-rays. She was, however, told thatno-one could help at the time.Carelse then asked to see the unit

manager, who then reviewed theX-raysandreferredthemtothephar-macy, where they waited another 20minutes for the prescribed medica-tion.

When Carelse and her dad’s visitto thehospital finally ended12hourslater, at 11:00 the next morning, theelderly woman from Grabouw wasstill sitting in thewheelchairandtheman was still lying on the floor – inthe same position, with his eyesclosed, just as he had been lyingwhen the Carelses first arrived.TheunsBotha,WesternCapeMin-

ister of Health, admitted dur-ing an unscheduled visit inAugust that the HelderbergHospital is under-resourced.He said a new, bigger facilityis being planned.Sithembiso Magubane,

spokesperson for theWesternCape Health Department, didnot say how complaints suchasCarelse’swill beaddressed.He also failed to answer aquestion on when and wherethe new hospital promised bythe minister will be built.He said patients at the

Emergency Unit are catego-rised according to a systemthat determines the serious-ness of their condition, and

consultation follows accordingly.Hesaid that the department could onlyimprove the service if complaintsare lodgedwith the facilitymanagerwhile they are still at the facility, orreported later to their department’scomplaints hotline at 0860 142 142 orby sending a “please call me” to079 769 1207, or emailing [email protected]

This patient of the Helderberg Hospital was lyingon the floor of the Emergency Unit for hours lastweek without being helped.

Although security measures have sincebeen intensified at local malls, the police arealso increasing their visibility. Operationsby the Somerset West Police, as part of a city-wide strategy led by the provincial police,were held at Waterstone Village Centre, Som-erset Mall, Checkers Hyper, and CBD shop-ping centres Lion Square, The Vineyard andCircle Centre.

Colonel Mary-Ann Williams, SomersetWest Police station commander, says theiroperations included patrols, checking that allsecurity measures are in place, sharing cru-

cial information and making suggestions onhow to improve security.

Williams says managers of the shoppingmalls and centres were keen on the opera-tions and were taking their suggestions onhow to improve security and prevent armedrobberies into consideration. Williams saysone suggestion in particular was that no-onewearing anything on their heads that couldhide their face be allowed access to the shop-ping mall or centre.

The operations will continue through thefestive season until the end of January.

EagleBar fails to takeoff

DALEEN FOUCHÉ

A building that was supposed to createmuch needed opportunities and skills inRusthof, a community plagued by drugabuse, crime and unemployment, is nowbeing occupied by illegal businesses, andeven has an unknown number of illegalbackyard squatters.

The building in Brewery Street, known asEagleBar,wasearmarkedby theCityofCapeTown for a skills development centre in 2006.

Plans by the City of Cape Town to use thisbuilding for such a centre have now beenabandoned, according to chairperson of sub-council 8, Stuart Pringle.

He says it was decided at a recent meetingto “divorce” the Eagle Bar from the need forskillsdevelopment.Hesaysthereisanurgentneed for some means to boost skills develop-ment andmake it easier for job seekers to bein contact with people offering employment,particularly of a temporary nature. “But thisillegal occupationhasheld theprocess to ran-somandunfortunately prevented the develop-ment of amuch needed skills centre.” He saysanewcreativewayof skills development is be-ing looked at.

TheformerHelderbergMunicipalityboughtthebuildingin1999forR325 000.Itwasinitiallyused as a business centre, with Rusthof resi-dents being the beneficiaries. This initiativewas short-lived and according to Francis Lu-kas,aRusthofcommunityleader,thebusiness-es failed to pay rent.

CouncillorGarrethBloor,MayoralCommit-teeMember for Tourism,Events andEconom-icDevelopment,saystheleasewithbusinesseswas cancelled in October 2002 and an evictionorder granted in March 2003.

The City of Cape town is now also gainingan eviction order against the backyard squat-ters.

Bloor says the eviction of the squatters willbe subject to legal action.“The duration of the courtprocess cannot be deter-mined as it will be depend-ent on many factors.”

Lukas says a skills devel-opment centre is desperate-lyneeded inRusthof.Unem-ployment isamajorproblem,shesays, feedingintosubstanceabuseandcrime.Shesaysthereis nothing for the youth of Rusthof to do, andtheskillscentrewouldhavehelpedimmensely

to address social issues.Lukas says the City must stop dragging its

feetwith this building, as the residents regardtheEagleBarasahistoricbuilding inRusthof,

withgreat importance tothecommunity.Shesaysthe building was one ofthe first to be built in theareaandused tobeapubcalled Eagle Bar.

A local estate agentwho wished to remain

anonymous, says it is difficult to place a valueonthepropertywithoutaninspection,butesti-mates that if it is upgraded, it could fetch be-tween R4million and R4,5million.

The dilapidated old building in Rusthof, known as the Eagle Bar, once earmarked for a skillsdevelopment centre, is now occupied by illegal businesses and backyard squatters.

Dogtertjie (2) sterfná fratsongelukDELIAH BRINKHUIS

“Sy was ’n sonstraaltjie, en wanneer sygelag het, het haar ogies so nou getrek.”

Dis hoe Johanna (Jo) Davids haar klein-dogter, Joy-Faith, onthou wat verlede Sater-dag tragies in ’n fratsongeluk in Macassargesterf het.Volgenssers.ChrisyYoung,woordvoerder

vir die Macassar-polisie, het die ongeluk netvoor 09:00 in Manualstraat in Chris HaniParkgebeur toedie 23-maande-ouedogtertjieonder die bakkie beland het. Die voertuig isin die straat af gestoot en die bestuurder hetnie vir Joy-Faith gesien waar sy agter diebakkiegestaanhetnie.Diebakkieis oorhaargestoot.Haarouers,Standton (31) enAlvidaDavids

(27), sukkel om haar dood te verwerk, en tra-ne loop vrylik wanneer hulle oor hul oudstedogtertjie praat.Volgens Standton was hy die oggend besig

om ontbyt te maak en het Alvida hul twee-maande-oue baba, Avé, in die kamer versorgtoe die ongeluk gebeur het. Hy vertel hoe hyJoy-Faith vroeër gebad en aangetrek het.“Joytjie het gekla dat sy honger is en gevra

dat ek die kos vinniger moet klaar maak,”onthou hy.Joy-Faith was geliefd onder

die bure en het hulle dié oggendoudergewoonte gaan groet. Vol-gens Standton was sy dogter insy gesigsveld waar sy op die sy-paadjie gestaan het net nadatdie bakkie uit die doodloop-straat gestoot is. Minute laterhet hy die bakkie hoor aanska-kel en ook iemand hoor skree.Hy het na buite gehardloopwaarhysydogteronderdiebak-kie sien lê het.“Ekweet niewaar ekdie krag

vandaan gekry het nie,maar ekhet die bakkie vanhaar gelig enhaar opgetel.”“ ‘Here, Here, help my. Help

vir Joytjie,’ het ek geskree terwyl ek haar byons erf ingedra het.”Geskokte bure het gou nader gestaan om

te help. Standton vertel dat Alvida verwardtot by Shoprite gehardloop het, waar sy ’nvriend gekry het, en sy ouers, Dirkie en Jo-hanna, van die vriend se selfoon af gebel het.

Binne 10 minute was sy familie daar. Hy hetsteeds met Joy-Faith in sy arms gesit en sybroer Quinton het haar by hom geneem enna die polisiekantoor begin gehardloop. ’nEntjie verder het sy pa hulle in sy motor ge-laai. ’n Ambulans wat in Linklaan gery het,

is voorgekeer. Paramedici hetgespook om die dogtertjie by tebring, maar sy is op die toneeldood verklaar.Volgens Standton het hy Joy-

Faith geleer oor padveiligheid.“Joytjie het altydweggehard-

loop wanneer motors aangerykom, soms sommer tussen mybene deur,” sê hy.Joy-Faith was die oogappel

van haar grootouers en het uit-stappies in haar oupa se motorgeniet. Haar ouma Jo onthouhoe sy verlede Donderdag nogsoentjies gewaaihet toe syhuis-toe is.“Daai stemmetjiewat sê, ‘Ou-

pa kom ons ry’, gaan ek nooitweer hoor nie,” sê haar oupa Dirkie, terwylhy voor hom uitstaar.“’n Mens gaan haar so mis, maar die Here

het ’n plan met als,” sê Johanna.Joy-Faithsebegrafnisdiens isSaterdagom

09:00 vanuit die Baptiste Bybel-kerk op diehoek van Link en Albatrosstraat.

Standton en Alvida Davids verwerk hul dogter se dood moeilik.

JoyFaith het verledeSaterdag in ’n fratsongeluk in Macassar gesterf.

Inwoners van Sir Lowry’s Pass hetMaandag ’n protesaksie van stapel ge-stuur oor swak dienslewering.

Volgens Johan Middleton, wyk 100 seraadslid, dring die inwoners van informelenedersettings aan dat dié gebiede van elek-trisiteit voorsien moet word.Middleton sê die inwonershet op ’n open-

bare vergadering sowat twee weke geledehul misnoeë uitgespreek oor die Riemvas-maak inkrementele ontwikkelingsgebiedwat twee jaargeledeopgerig isenwaardaartans elektrisiteit aangelê word.Die inwoners was voorts ontevrede oor

Geenplek in skool vir 7-jarige

JAMEY GORDON

Ná byna twee jaar se gesukkel omhaar sewejarige seun,Ewald –watsteeds in gr. R is – by ’n plaaslikeskool in te skryf, het die onder-wysdepartement uiteindelik virChanelle Venter van Kay’s Kara-vaanpark in Strand tegemoetge-kom.

Ewald se storie is verlede Donder-dag deur Kieno Kammies van Cape-Talk op sy radioprogram bekendge-maak. ’n Hoogs ontstelde Kammieshetdieonderwysdepartementaange-vat oor die gesloer om Ewald by ’nplaaslike skool geplaas te kry, waar-na hulle beloof het om ondersoek inte stel.DistriksPoshetvandeesweekopge-

volg en is deur Jessica Shelver,woordvoerder vir die Wes-Kaapseonderwysdepartement (WKOD), inkennis gestel dat Ewald wel teen vol-gende jaar in ’n skool geplaas salwordensylaerskoolloopbaansalkanbegin.Venter (28), ’n werklose ma van

twee, het in Januarie verlede jaar byLaerskool Lochnerhof aansoek ge-doen om teleurstelling te voorkom.Sy het besluit om vir Ewald by Loch-nerhof in te skryf omdat dit die skoolnaaste aan hul woning is en hullegeen vervoer het nie.Syvertelvoortsdit sou ideaal wees

asdiéskoolEwaldaanvaar,wantdankansysommerskooltoeloopomhomweg te neem en te gaan haal.Volgens Venter het sy egter in

April daardie jaar ’n brief ontvangom haar in kennis te stel dat Ewald

op ’n waglys is op grond van ’n “be-perkte getal inname vir gr.1-klasse”.Sy het hierna niks verder van dieskool gehoor nie.Venter het weer in Januarie van-

jaar by die skool aansoek gedoen enis weer teleurgestel. Volgens Venteris Ewald weer op ’n waglys geplaasas gevolg van ’n beperkte getal inna-me vir gr.1-klasse.Venter het intussen ook met die

skoolsielkundige ontmoet om uit tevind waarom Ewald nie aanvaarword nie. Venter sê die sielkundigehet ’n aandagtekort-hiperaktiwiteit-versteuring (ATHV) by Ewald gedia-gnoseer.“Die diagnose is deur ’n dokter be-

vestig en Ewald wordmet Ritalin be-handel,” sê Venter.Volgens Venter het Du Toit haar

ook meegedeel Ewald by enige hoof-stroom laerskool aanvaarmagword,maar nie enige hoofstroom hoër-skool nie.Ná geen verdere terugvoering van

die skool nie, het Venter in Septem-ber vanjaar by Laerskool HendrikLouw en Somerset-Wes Primêr aan-soek gedoen, maar tevergeefs.Venter se ma het later die onder-

wysdepartement genader vir ’n op-lossing, maar volgens Venter is synet ingelig dat Ewald op ’nwaglys is.Venter wil net hê haar seun moet

skoolgaan.“Hy is ywerig enwil skoolgaan. Ek

wil nie hê dié reg moet van hom ont-neem word nie.”DistriksPos het probeer uitvind

wat die oponthoud was. LaerskoolLochnerhof het egter dieDistriksPosverwysnadieonderwysdepartement

en sy kringbestuurder, wat nie be-reik kon word vir kommentaar nie.Volgens Shelver kan sy nie aanduiwat die oponthoud is nie.Sy verduidelik wel dat die skool sy

eie inskrywingsprosesse en toela-tingsbeleid het, en dat die skoolbe-heerliggaam volle beheer oor sulkebesluite het.Sy sê die onderwysdepartement

kan nie die skoolbeheerliggaam sebesluit ter syde stel nie, maar welaanbevelings maak en raad gee.Shelver voeg by alle oproepe, brie-

we en e-posse wat van Venter ont-vang is, is 2014 gedateer. Sy sê voortsdat Ewald op 17 Julie 2007 gebore isen inJulie sewegewordhet,wathomkwalifiseer vir vrystelling van ver-pligte skoolbywoning in 2014.“Hy sou te jonk gewees het om in

gr.1 te wees twee jaar gelede, maardistriksbeamptes werk daaraan omEwald by die skool van hul keuse ge-plaas te kry, of ’n ander plaaslikeskool indien die eerste skool homniekan akkommodeer nie.”

) DistriksPos het in Februarievanjaaroor ’nsoortgelykgevalberig.EnkelouerMelissaVigushet inJulieverlede jaarnaStrandverhuis enhetsedert hul aankoms gesukkel omhaar twee seuns, Justin (10) and Ja-ques (8), by ’n plaaslike skool in teskryf.

Tennis clubwants to serveinterdict against neighbourDALEEN FOUCHÉ

The RecreationTennisClubinSom-erset West is apply-ingforacourtinter-dict against one ofitsneighboursaftermonths of conflictbetween the twoparties.

Salie de Swardt,chairperson of theRecreation TennisClub, says the sit-uation has become sounbearable that thetennis club commit-tee decided to apply for an interdict againsttheir neighbour, Michael Chelin.Chelin initially approached the District-

Mailabout the“disturbance”causedbyplay-ers at the tennis court. He has lived next tothe tennis court since 2007, but it has onlybecome a disturbance in May this year, hesays.Heexplainsthattwoofthetenniscourtsare directly next to his house and the fre-quency of tennis players using these courtsin “the early hours of the morning” has be-come amajor nuisance for him and his fami-ly.Chelin says the two courts next to his

house are used as early as 06:45 on a dailybasis, while other tennis courts, furtheraway from the houses, are available. Chelinsaysheapproached the committee to requestameetingwith themabout the situation, butsays his request was met with “aggression”and letters from the committee’s lawyers.De Swardt, however, says Chelin’s beha-

viour towards him and players at the clubhas been inappropriate and loadedwith cuss

words. He says Che-lin, who has a gatethat leads to theclub, has unlawful-ly entered the clubgrounds and on oneoccasion, interrup-ted a tournament.De Swardt says hehas also yelled atchildren playing onthe tennis courts.Chelin admits go-

ing on to the clubpremises,butsaysitwas only to requestthat players useanother court, anddenies ever inter-

ruptinga tournament.Hesayshemighthaveraised his voice when players occupied thecourt at 05:30 on a Sunday morning.On 17 September, Chelin received a letter

from the club’s lawyers stipulating severalproposals tosolvetheproblem.Thisincludedadjusted times for the two tennis courts andasignrequestingplayers touse theother ten-nis courts, further away from the houses, ifthey are available.Chelin, however, says this is not accepta-

ble. “The proposal is not sufficient.”He says he would like the club to prohibit

players fromusing the two courts next to hishouse in the mornings and after 17:00 in theafternoon.Theclubhas sinceerectedabarri-er at Chelin’s access gate to the club and isin the process of applying for a court inter-dict.“The Recreation Tennis Club exists more

than 50 years and is the biggest club in SouthAfrica. We have always had good relation-ships with our neighbours and never hadsimilar complaints,” De Swardt says.

Evictionswere ‘illegal’, saysSisulu reportJAMEY GORDON

Mum seems to be the word asfar as the South African Na-tional Roads Agency Limited(Sanral) and the City of CapeTown are concerned after bothparties were severely castigat-ed last week.

This follows after the report bythe Lwandle ministerial inquiryrevealed that the evictions were“illegal”. The report was submit-ted to Parliament’s human settle-ments portfolio committee byHu-man Settlements Minister Lin-diwe Sisulu last Thursday.While outlining its findings, Si-

sulu said that Sanral and theCity,as well as the Sheriff of Strand,the SouthAfrican Police Servicesand the Law Enforcement Agen-cies of the City “knowingly con-spired” and effected the eviction.The report further stated that

although Sanral had obtained aninterimcourt order toprevent im-

minent invasions in January, thecourt order was not an evictionorder and did not authorise San-ral to effect an eviction.The court order was limited to

preventing further land invasiononly, not to authorise the removalof any persons or structures al-ready erected on the land.Therefore, the forceful evic-

tions on 2 and 3 June were illegal,aswell as theactionsof thepartiesinvolved, said Sisulu.“The eviction was a deplorable

act,” said Sisulu.“It played itself out for two full

days, as various organs of stateand spheres of government fid-dled and were very quick to dis-tance themselves from all of this.They saw nothing. They heardnothing. They knew nothing andwere not responsible for any-thing.”She added that “the unashamed

brutality that played itself out inLwandle, should never be tolerat-ed; what happened here between

the City, Sanral and the South Af-rican Police Service was despica-ble, immoral and criminal”.DistrictMail approached San-

ral to comment on why the evic-tion was effected although thecourt orderwas simply to preventland further invasion, andwheth-er compensationwouldbeprovid-ed for any loss of or damage to per-sonal or other property or goodsbelonging to the evictees duringevictions. Sanral, however, re-sponded that theywill not be com-menting on the issue at this time.DistrictMail also requested

comment from the City, who hason numerous occasions made itknown that they were by nomeans involved in carrying outthe “eviction order”, althoughlaw enforcement clearly assistedwith the demolishing of homes onthe days the evictions took place.Although the City did not com-

ment on their involvement, Pier-rinne Leukes, spokesperson ofthe Executive Mayor, Patricia de

Lille, said: “City law enforcementpersonnelwere on the scene as re-quested by the SAPS, who wereexecuting thecourtorderwith theSheriff of the Court as requestedand obtained by Sanral, the own-ers of the land.”Furthermore the report con-

firmed that the Sanral-ownedland in Asanda Village was un-lawfully occupied, and althoughthis cannot be condoned, thereare laws and processes that pre-scribe how evictions should becarried out andare binding onall,said Sisulu.The report also briefly outlined

the recommendation to amendlegislation, specifically the Pre-vention of Illegal Eviction (PIE)Act, which will be processed byParliament.DistrictMail previously pub-

lished that the installation offlush toilets for Lwandle evictees,who have settled into their newlyerected homes on the SANationalRoads Agency Limited (Sanral)

owned land they were evictedfrom, commenced on 13 October.Ward Councillor Mbuyiselo

Matha explained that the processentailed replacing the existing 45chemical toilets that are separateto the housing structures with 45flush toilets.This week Matha confirmed

that thus far 20 toilets have beeninstalled.Matha also said that 480emergency houses have beenerected on the piece of land in As-anda Village and 475 evicteeshave been relocated from the hallinto their new homes.However, 287 evictees still re-

main in the hall and their hopeof being settled is yet to be real-ised.He said that these residentswill

be moved into homes once it hasbeen determined whether a totalof 234 or 849 homeswill be erectedfor the evictees.This will be confirmed as part

of the inquiry into the Lwandleevictions, says Matha.

Woordvoerder vir die Strand-poli-sie, konst.MbuleloMafuna reageeras volg: If the incident has hap-pened as described, clearly themembers failed to perform their du-ties. The resident noted date andtime but not the members or regis-tration of vehicle or call sign on thesideof thevehicle.Thatmakes itdif-ficult to identify the members in-volved so that measures can be tak-en. I encourage the public to reportincidents involving police, but theymust identify the members in-volved. The matter is investigated.

FormerSomersetWest resident, ChrisMentor, laid to rest

It is with deep regret that we here-byinformyouthatour dearestandtrusted friend, ChristopherLionelMentor, left us unexpectedly intryingcircumstancesinFishHoekon 29 July this year.Chris was born in Somerset

West on 2 May 1953.He made a huge impact on ev-

eryone that crossed his path, par-ticularly in the greaterCapeTownarea.Sometimebefore 2008,Chris lost

both his parents, who were re-spected school teachers, and hisson Irvin, within a few years ofeach other.His mother was lovingly known

byher friends asHenna andhis fa-ther as Andy by his fellow WPCB(WP Cricket Board) members andcricket umpires.

Shortly thereafter, Chris at-tempted to change his first nameto Kristopher in order to confirmhis Khoisan heritage and to beclassified as such.However, he was denied this

classificationbytheSouthAfrican

authorities. To pay for this trans-gression, Chris was never issuedwith a barcoded identity docu-ment with the resultant bureau-cratic red-tape causing delays inthe release of his bodily remains,so that he could only finally be puttoreston30September in theEdenMemorial Cemetery in Philippi,after amovingKhoisan burial cer-emony(theSeventh!Nau) fromtheHoly Trinity, Anglican Church inKalk Bay.Longwill Chris be remembered.* Further information about

Chris can be obtained in the Octo-ber edition of the Eerste NasieNuus.

Hospitals’servicemustimprove

State health facilities have continu-ously come under fire for their infe-rior service and frequently appall-ing conditions which patients aresubjected to, yet there seems to beno immediate solution for this.Those who cannot afford the care

of private hospitals, or do not havethe certainty of a medical aid haveno alternative than turning to statefacilities.Falling ill and being hospitalised

is intimidating enoughwithout hav-ing to endure the often ignorant ar-rogance of staff at these facilities,along with an unfriendly environ-ment.Patients queuing outside govern-

ment clinics for hours before sun-rise have become an all too familiarsight.So are those waiting in line at a

hospital – sometimes for half a day– to be helped.Unfortunately this has been ac-

cepted as normal for those left to themercy of these facilities.There is, however, no fairness in

not receiving a service that shouldbe readily available.These facilities are under im-

mense pressure with constantlygrowing communities, and limitedresources. And staff have to workunder challenging conditions forlong hours at a time.It is time for the department of

health to realise the urgency of hav-ingtostepup andacceptresponsibil-ity for their health facilities.Service needs to be drastically im-

proved and conditions for patientsand staff have to be bettered to en-sure an operation which we can callproudly South African.

VandalismatSir Lowry’sPassVillagedelays servicedeliveryThe vision for the Sir Lowry’sVil-lage Incremental DevelopmentArea (IDA) is to increase servicedelivery dramatically with theprovision of 1:1 services to thebeneficiaries.As such,Eskomhasbeen on site for the past monthhandling the electrical installa-tion of the 51 units and they willbe livening the new lines of someof theunits fromtoday, 28October2014.Theelectrification to thema-

jority of these units, will, howev-er, take longer as 34 of the 51 newunits which were built, has beengrossly vandalised. This meansthat these units would first haveto be repaired before the electrifi-cation can be completed. The Citywillnowhave toreissueworkcon-tracts to contractors for these re-pairs to be effected. The City hasengagedregularlyandthoroughlywith this community.

I would like to emphasise thatthose who have been responsibleforthevandalismwillberesponsi-ble for any delays.We urge the community to help

Gate is sigbare tekensvanmunisipaleverwaarlosing’n Mens kan gewoonlik die ef-fektiwiteit van ’ndorpsemuni-sipaliteitmeet aan die hoeveel-heid slaggate wat daar in systrate is.

Natuurlik is daar ’n verskil tus-sen ou slaggate en nuwe slaggate.

Hier by ons verskyn daar ge-reeld – en dit was baie algemeenveral in die winter – nuwe slagga-te ná elke sterk reënbui.

Tradisioneel is hierdie slaggatein die Helderberg nogal vinnigherstel; skaars ’n dag of drie hetgewoonlik verbygegaan, of werk-spanne het opgedaag om die ska-de veroorsaak deur winterstormsop te knap.

As ek dink aan dorpe soos

Oudtshoorn, Veree-niging en Parys –wonderlike dorpevol wonderlike men-se, wat, ten spytevan alles wat hulleinsit om hul omge-wing verbruikers-vriendelik te maak,duidelik gebuk gaanonder munisipalewanbestuur – voelek baie hartseer.

Daar is paaie watjare laas opgeknapis. Daar is rioolslotewat verstop is, ver-keer-strepe wat uitroep vir ’nvars laag verf, stink damme en ri-viere, en oral tekens van verval

en verwaarlosing.Dit moet vir daardie

inwoners geweldigfrustrerend wees.

Ek is bekommerd datdieselfde hier by onsgaan gebeur.

Die reënseisoen isnou al weke, feitlikmaande lank verby,maar, anders as tevore,is die winterslaggatenog nie toegegooi nie.Oral lê hulle, oop engrof en lelik soos wondeop die landskap.

Wat gaan dan nouhier aan? Is ons ewe skielik op die-selfde afdraande pad as groot delevan die res van Suid-Afrika?

The photos show a woman exiting the passenger side and then collecting bags from the boot. Thereader, who prefers to remain anonymous, frequents the N2 often forwork purposes and says he sees this happening at least once a month.LieutenantColonel André Traut, corporate communication spokespersonfor the provincial police, says that the vehicle was used for official duties and no irregularities could be established during an internal investigation.

Highnoon forShiloh’smusical opusDistrictMail journalist MarkStuart cornered Gordon’s Bayauthor Shiloh Noone to ask himhow he felt about receiving four-star reviews from Rolling Stoneand London’s Record Collectormagazines for his book Seeker’sGuide to the rhythmof yesteryear.

Shiloh, who also presents theshow Songcatcher on Sundays from19:00 to 20:30 on Fine Music Radio(FMR), said he was pleased with thereviews, especially the London’sRecord Collector review.

He stated matter of factly that hewas the first South African to get afour star review from Rolling Stonemagazine.

Thebookis the firstglobalhistoryrockbookever to incorporate all ho-ly seven genres of musical history,namely Blues, Rock & Roll, Surfgui-tar, Folk Music, Psychedelia, Brit-ish Beat and Progressive Rock.

To keep up with the changingtimesShilohput his impressive 700-pageA4“summarised”history&de-finitive reference to music (1950–1979) onto Amazon kindle lastmonth.

He explains that the book tookhim about ten years to write. In or-der to gain information on some ofthe lesser known artists featured inthe book,whomhe could not find onWikipedia, he travelled overseasand physically tracked the musi-cians down to interview them or geta photo.

Shiloh launched the first editionof his book nine years ago at CDWarehouse at the Waterfront inCape Town, an event that was at-tended by about 800 people.

The latest edition is the seventhand final edition and he said he feltit was necessary as there was somuch more he had wanted to add.

He explained that he wanted tohighlight the fantastic bands andartists that were not necessarily acommercial or front-line success,and give them recognition for whatthey had achieved.

AsLondon’sRecordCollectorAlanLewis says in his review, “Whereelse would you read about Rodri-guez and Shawn Phillips alongsideTir Na Nog, Duffy Power and TitusGroan?”RollingStonecriticMilesKeylock

says “It’s the catalogue of subterra-nean basement blues riffs about for-gotten footnotes such as a BlueCheers, Capability Brown, The Dogthat Bit People and Freedoms Chil-dren that makes this kaleidoscopeanthology essential reading”.

Shiloh says: “I learned fromFrankFrost (thedeceaseddrummerfor the Blues Broers) that one must

always give credit where credit isdue.

“Writing this book was an amaz-ing ten year journey for me. I hadsent it to Rolling Stone magazinemany timesandneverhearda thingfrom them, so when I finally didhear that I had received a four-starrating from them, I was pleased.”

He says although music has goneonto MP3 format, CDs and Blue-tooth have enabled music to reachpeople it had never reached before.

He adds that while this is a pro-gression, CD popularity is begin-ning to wane and vinyl records andturntables (with USB ports) aremaking a big comeback, especiallyamong the younger generation.

Shiloh says there are now proba-bly more vinyl shops in Cape Townthan CD shops, which he believes isa sign of a musical evolution.

He has also written other books,one a novel titled Witches of Sark,which he describes as a devilishnovel that never took off, and a vol-umeofpoetrycalled42 forthechosenfew, with the foreword by the actorBrad Pitt, who Shiloh collaboratedwith on the life of Nick Drake (a folk

singer from the ’60s and ’70s).“Some of my poems have been in-

cluded as lyrics for Paul Brett’sband Sage in the UK. The album iscalledEmergence, produced by TomNewman of Tubular Bells fame.This is a great honour for me.”

TheLPandCDhavealso justbeenlaunched.

He says his next book is calledRoyal Assassination (Princess Di)“but so far no publisher wants totouch it so I’m looking for someoneto make a movie about it.

“I’ve also written a script aboutJan van Riebeeck, but so far I havehad no takers.”

) Shiloh would like to give awayone Seeker’s Guide to the rhythm ofyesteryear to a Helderberg resident.To win a copy of this book answerthe following question: Which twomagazines have given ShilohNoone’s book a four-star rating?

E-mail your answers to Mark Stu-art at [email protected]. Allthe correct SMSes will be placed in-to a draw and one lucky winner se-lected.

To buy a copy of the book, contactShiloh at [email protected].

“Springhasbroughtout itsquo-ta of puff-adders,” writes the jour-nalist. “Three have been killed onthe mountainside behind thehouse of Mr. H. G. Catchpool, ofGordon’s Bay.”An article on page four of the

edition comments on how fishingseason was in full swing in Gor-don’s Bay. “Much activity can beobservedamongthe(boat)ownersin Gordon’s Bay harbour,” saysthe reporter. “There is a holidayatmosphere, and even those whodo not fish are attracted to watchthose who do, and also to admirethe varied craft moored at theirbuoys,” the story continues.Fishing news seems to be the

Thehalt of snailmail ablowto localbusinessDALEEN FOUCHÉ

The mail deliverystrike at the SA PostOffice has been pre-vailing for more thanthree months and lo-cal businesses reliantonthisservicearefeel-ing the pinch.

Glynis Gilbert, man-agerofTheCoffeeRoast-ing Co. at LourensfordWine Estate, says someof the coffee that theyposted toclients inGaut-eng, has been stuck at apostal depot for two months already.She says the strike has had a big impact

on business as clients from Gauteng areno longer ordering coffee and are waitingforthestriketobeoverbeforetheyresumeconducting businessmwith them.Gilbert says The Coffee Roasting Co. is

now making use of a courier service andcharging their clients the postal fees, butlooks forward to when the postal serviceis up and running again. “When it works,it works really well.”Frans Groenewald, a local artist and

cartoonist for the DistrictMail, says twoof his paintings, valued at R8 000 in total,are currently stuck at the postal depot. Heexplains that the buyer specifically want-ed those paintings and they cannot be re-placed by something else. He says he hastried to track the paintings down, but hashad no luck in finding them and is consid-ering repainting the two artworks.Groenewald also creates calendars and

sells them, but he says this year the salesof the 2 500 calenders will be adversely af-fected, because the courier costs are toohighandhewill not be able tomakeaprof-it if he has to use the courier service.Annabel Rautenbach, owner of the on-

line toy shop Helderberg Toys, says she

has stopped using thepostal service becausepackages do not reachtheir destinations. Shesays one package, apresent worth R400 fora boy in Roodepoort,has been stuck at a postoffice depot for morethan four months.“My business is real-

ly affected badly.”Rautenbach says she

is now making use of aprivate courier serviceand absorbing the ex-tra cost into the busi-ness. “This affects my

turnover immensely.”But not all businesses suffer because of

the postal strike and courier companiesare having to fill the gap in service left bythe striking postal service. Robin Soutter,call centre manager for Star Express inthe Gants Centre, says he has definitelyseen an increase in business since thestart of the strike. He says the businessis currentlyprocessing 10 to 15parcels perday, which is a big increase compared tobefore the strike.Soutter says regular clients have told

him that theyprefer using the courier ser-vice, because it is more reliable than thepostal service.He says thebusiness is cur-rently exploring ways in which to give adiscount to small internet businesses thataredependantonpostal andcourier servi-ces, but can no longer use the postal ser-vice. Johnny Burke, owner of HelderbergExpress,a local couriercompany, says thestrike has not had an immediate positiveimpact on his business.He,however,predicts thata lackof trust

in the Post Office will filter through andmorepeoplewill start touseprivate couri-er companies.He hopes that his business will see an

increase in the mid- to long-term.

So,noneed fora financial advis-er, simply apply the 4% rule andlive happily ever after. But whatif I told you that a “proper” finan-cial adviser, not an assurancesalesman, could increase the 4%income yield by as much as 50%?In 2013 researchers Blanchett

Choose subjectswith future inmindNow is the right time for Gr 9-learners todecide which subjects they will take forthe rest of their school career.

“Learners in grade 9must choose their sub-jectswith care, and not before they have thor-oughly realised the implications of theirchoice,” says Dr Felicity Coughlan, directorof The Independent Institute of Education,

SA’s largestandmostaccreditedprivatehigh-er education institution.

) What do you want to be?Many learners want to pass matric well

enough to be able to further their studies.Some will consider degrees that are strictabout required subjects and performance. Ifyou are clear about what youwant to do, lookatwebsites of both public andprivate tertiary

institutions to verify their requirements, andlet that guide your subject choices.

) Whatifyoudon’tknowwhatyouwantto become?For those who are not yet 100% sure about

which career to pursue, Coughlan suggestsmaking choices that will keep a wide rangeof options open.“There is a list of designated subjectswhich

are the ones that higher education institu-tions require for admission. Ensure that allyour subjects are drawn from that list, unlessyou are absolutely sure you want to pursuea career that won’t require higher education.But don’t make that decision lightly, as youmay well change your mind later on.”

) Gatewaysubjectsleaveyouwithroomto manoeuvre laterSubjects such as Maths and Science allow

you to keep your options open, asmany areasof further study require them. If you are oneof themanywho strugglewith these subjects,it may be worth keeping only one of them.Maths Literacy must only be taken as a lastresort, as doing so will limit your choices.

) What makes you happy?It is important to pursue a fieldwhichgenu-

inely interests you, as the vast majority ofyour life will be spent working, and it will bemuch better if you do something you love. De-terminewhich subjectsmirror your interestsand career dreams, and include them.

) What are you good at?Choose at least two subjects that you really

enjoy and in which you can do well. Remem-ber that admission to higher education is per-formance-based, so you have to do well insome subjects rather than badly in all of thembecause you chose only gateway subjects.If you know you will need Maths but are

struggling with it, it may be sensible not todo Science and instead to do a subject that re-quires lessmathematics, such as Hospitality,so that you can raise your overall score. Thiswill alsohelp to reduceyour stress andenableyou to give more time to Maths.

It is important to choose the right subjects.STOCK PHOTO

caught between Blink-water and the Bioscopereefs (Mutual Bankies)using freshpilchardandchokka bait.Tinkie Morkel had

four dassies and one white stump-nose and Martin Upton had fourdassies.Due to a heavy South Easter no

held their 46th October competitionon Wednesday and Thursday lastweek.Four provincial teams from the

Southern Cape, Northern Gauteng,Western Province plus a Frenchteam and 14 club teams took part.Theweather was good for the first

two days and then the strong SouthEaster took over and shortened thecompetition to two days.The water temperature for 20

mileswas14 °C andwasadirtygreencolour.Only two fishwerehookedandaft-

er a long fight, but both were lost on15 kg line. It was the first time in the46 year history of the competitionthat no fish were landed.

There is a big concern amongsports anglers that another trek ofkob was made at Strandfontein andthree treks of yellowtail were madeat Fish Hoek and Simon’s Town.Peoplewhosaw the trek said there

were a lot of undersize fish in theStrandfontein trek and readers havereported thatFacebookis fullof com-ments about how everyonemust gettogether and try and get a ban on theindiscriminate beach trekking that

is killing False Bay.Our children will not even know

what a kob or white steenbras is ifthis continues.Unfortunately the inspectors do

nothing to monitor the illegal trek-king as was reported a few monthsago, when there was a big trek ofwhite steenbras onMacassar Beach.Thepublicwasoutragedbutnothinghappened to the trek net rights hold-er.

If a recreational angler takes onemore fish thanhis quotahe is arrest-ed on the spot and fined.It is about time that all recreation-

al anglers and the concerned publicform a strong lobby group to protestto the government about the trek-king.For all your reel repairs and servi-

Thechangingweatherpatterns of late got mewondering if any ofour readers had real-ised that due to the ab-sence of red tide thesepast few years, moremarine life has sur-vived and thereforemore fish are beingcaught.

I believe that bait fishare more abundant be-cause there has been nored tides and thishas as-sisted in nurturing andbreeding certain species of fish suchas kob all along our coasts.Red tide caused havoc with abalo-

ne a number of years ago and morerecently tons of crayfish virtuallywalked out of the water along ourWest Coast.Not long ago an abundance of sea-

weed and even octopi died and werewasheduponour localbeachescaus-ing a terrible stench, known as thegreen tide.In 1962 I witnessed the worst red

tide that Ihaveeverseen.Tonsof rot-ting fish washed up on the coastlineof Gordon’s Bay and Strand due tothe severe lack of oxygen levels.Offshore winds across the surface

caused up-swellings of microscopicorganisms, which are drawn to thesurfaceandthenbloom,whichin theprocess use upmost of the oxygen inthe water leaving very little oxygenfor any other marine life to survive.There are still positive reports of

Fighting spiritsavesHelderbergHelderberg showed fantasticfighting spirit and character todraw their awaymatch against astrong Green Point team on Sat-urday.

Helderbergwere in serious troub-le at the end of play on day one andneeded to score 128 runs tomake thestrong Green Point side bat again.

They only managed to score 112in their first innings towhichGreenPoint replied with 238/10.

At the end of play on day one Hel-derberg were struggling along on8/0 in their second inningsafter twoovers and were still 120 runs in ar-rears.

Leneale Treziers (68) and ChallenHess (40) came to their rescue andbatted responsibly till the latter losthiswicket justbeforelunchandend-ed an opening stand of 95.

After lunch Helderberg lost a fewquickwickets,whichbroughtJuna-id Sylvester (113*) and MarcelloThomas (57) to the crease.

They took the attack to the GreenPoint bowlers, playing shots allaround the park andmade the field-ers and bowlers toil in the heat andblistering South Easter for 111overs.

Helderberg were on 313/5 beforethe opposing captain called off thematch to end it in a draw.

The character shown by theseyoung batsmen is proof that cricketat the Helderberg club is healthyand has a lot of depth.

Theman of thematchwas JunaidSylvester for his unbeaten 113, butthe rest of the batsmenmust also becommended for their fightingeffort.

Beaumont-ster ’nkranigekrieket- enhokkiespelerJAMEY GORDON

Puik prestasies wat ’n blinktoekoms vir ’n meisie in krie-ket voorspel, en hierby nog ’nkranigehokkiespeler,hetAn-ri Grobbelaar van Somerset-Wes die gesogte titel van Okto-bermaand se DistriksPos Let’sPlay Sportster besorg.

Die elfjarige se vaardighede en uitstekendeaanvoeling vir krieket het haar onlangs ’nplek in die Westelike Provinsie o.19 meisies-krieketspan verseker. Dít nadat sy vanjaarvir die eerste keer na die WP-proewe uitge-nooi is.Boonop is dié gr. 5-leerder aan Laerskool

Beaumont ook die enigste meisie in dié skoolwat in hierdie sportsoort uitblink en deelvorm van die o. 11 seuns-krieketspan.Die kranige krieketspeler, wat ook ’n lid

van die Somerset-Wes-krieketklub is, is baiein haar skik met dié prestasies.Anri speel sedert sesjarige ouderdom krie-

ket en vertel hoe sy altyd vir ure saam methaar broer, Joubert (13), krieket gekyk en ge-speel het, maar nooit gedink dat sy die sportself sou beoefen en so goed sou vaar nie.Anri voeg by dat haar broer, wat ook ’n kra-

nige krieketspeler is, haar inspirasie is. Sysê hoewel hy nie veel genade vir haar toonmet hul krieket-oefensessies nie, laat hy haarhard werk om haar potensiaal te bereik.“Hyisvreeslikgoedinkrieketenditmoedig

my aan om ook só goed te wees,” sê Anri.Wat beslis in die talentvolle krieketspeler

se guns tel is dat sy nie net ’n puik bouler isnie, maar ook ’n kolwer van gehalte. Anrimeen vir haar is dit net so maklik om te kolfas om te boul.Anri skryf die merkwaardige vermoë toe

aan haar goeie oog-hand-koördinasie wat sybyhaar ouers geërf het, asookdieuitstekendeafrigting wat sy van Damian Fuller en SeanPhillips van FP Elite Krieket Akademie ont-vang het.Die jong krieketster was die enigste meisie

wat inNovemberverlede jaaraandieDurban-ville Interklub Nag-toernooi deelgeneem het.Sy is by dié toernooi aangewys as die bestebouler van die toernooi.Om te verseker dat sy haar krieketvaardig-

hede opgeskerp hou, oefen Anri minstens seskeer ’n week vir ’n uur of twee. Selfs in haarvrye tyd speel sy saam haar broer krieket.Anri se ma, Carin, sê haar dogter oefen en

werk vreeslik hard. Sy spog met die feit datAnri haar nie laat intimideer deur die seunsin haar skool se krieketspan nie en dat sy ooknie bang is om krieket te speel nie – nóg ietswat sy by haar broer geleer het.Anri is boonop ook ’n kranige hokkiespeler

en is in Junie vanjaar in Boland se binnens-huise o. 11-hokkiespan opgeneem. Dít volg náhaar skool tweede plek verwerf het by die in-terprovinsiale toernooiwat vroeër vanjaar inKaapstad plaasgevind het.Anri verklap dat hoewel sy goed presteer

in krieket, bly hokkie maar haar gunstelingsport omdat haar ma aan die sport deelge-neem het.Anrisedroomisomhaarlandinalbeisport-

kodes te verteenwoordig.Haar gunsteling krieketspelers is Dale

Steyn en Quinton de Kock en hokkiespelerPietie Coetzee.

It’s Beaumont Sixes time againThis Saturday the long-awaited annualDistrictMail/Beaumont Cricket Sixescompetition takes place.This is the highlight on the primary

school cricketing calendar for many play-ers in the Helderberg.This year is the 20th anniversary and is

shaping up to be the best year yet.DistrictMail in conjunction with Beau-

mont has done a fantastic job to keep thispopular tournament going for so long.This event was the brainchild of Beau-

mont’s LesKets and has been promoted byMarkStuart of theDistrictMail for thepast20 years and has gone from strength tostrength.The one great thing about this tourna-

ment, is that itbrings thecreamofprimaryschool cricketers in the Helderberg andsurrounding areas together at one venueto showcase their skills. The skill levelshave been fantastic over the years andseem to get better every year.Last year Hermanus beat Somerset

House in one of the closest finals to dateand I’msure this yearwill beno exception.This tournament has really been a

springboard for many players who havegone on to play provincial cricket at highschool level. Let’shope thiswill be the casefor many years to come.

There were some good performances atclub level thispastweekendwithSomersetWest Cricket Club getting their leaguecampaignoff to agreat start bybeatingGu-gulethu by an innings.Helderbergmanagedadrawintheir first

league outing, but showed considerablefighting spirit and determination to pulloff a well-deserved draw.This week sees a local derby between

SomersetWestandHottentotsHollandandthis game should be a real cracker.There is nothing like a local derby to get

the sides motivated.I have been privileged enough to play in

a number of derbies against HottentotsHollandandHelderbergover theyearsandhave enjoyed every one of them.Most of them have been fiery affairs

which have seen the standard of cricketuppedbya fewlevels. It shouldbenodiffer-ent this time around.Good luck to all our club players this

weekend and to all our jun-iors taking part in the sixes.Play hard and have fun.

Pirates pounce back towinThe Helderberg Piratesfirst team recorded theirfirst win of the seasonwhen they beat Van derStel from Stellenbosch15-5 on Saturday.Pirates batted aggres-

sively throughout thegame and despite thestrong South Easter, hadminimal errors in thefield which helped themforge a 10 run differencebetween them and Vander Stel and win by mer-cy rule in the 7th frame.Although all the players contributed, Daryl

Chalmers and Brad De Waal were the twomost impressive Pirates players on the day.With the exception of the Masers side, who

lost 6-26 against a typically strong Bothasig

side, all the other Piratessides also recorded theirfirst wins for the season.In the junior age

groupstheu. 10sbeatVander Stel 20-14 with LukasHanekom voted player ofthematch. The u.12s beatBlaauwberg 10-3 and theu. 15s impressively beatBlaauwberg 17-5. Piratespitchers did remarkablywell considering the mi-gration to different fielddimensions.Michael Yuill and Phi-

DistrictMail/BeaumontSixescelebrate20thanniversaryMARK STUART

This yearmarks exactly two dec-ades since the first DistrictMail/Beaumont Cricket Sixes Compe-tition was played at BeaumontPrimary School.

This great traditional competi-tion will be played for the 20th timethis Saturday (1 November).

The DistrictMail’s associationwith and sponsorship of this iconicevent started shortly after Les Kets(now deputy headmaster) startedworking as a teacher at Beaumontin 1994.

Les, who is a keen cricketer andplayed wicketkeeper for the Somer-set West Cricket Club at the time,organised a mini sixes tournamentbetween four schools in the firstyear he was at the school.

“A sixes cricket tournament wassomething I always wanted to orga-nise at school because I had enjoyed

playing in so many sixes com-petitions myself and I thoughtthe boys would enjoy it asmuch as I did.

“During the first competi-tion in 1994 the manager of theDistrictMail, Jan Celliers, whostayed across the road from theschool, saw the activity at theschool and came to watch thetournament,” Kets remem-bers.

“He liked what he saw, madean appointment to meet me thefollowing Monday and decidedto sponsor the tournament in1995 and the rest is history.”

Les says the following yearhe invited 18 schools fromaround the Helderberg to takepart in the tournament.

He says it was decided be-tweenhimandtheDistrictMailto give each boy taking part inthe tournament a free T-shirt,a boerewors roll and a cool-drink.

The winning team was alsoawarded the DistrictMail/

Beaumont Floating Shield, which isstill in existence today, plus eachboy in the winning team receiveda miniature trophy (to keep).

Most of these traditions have en-dured the 20 years and this event isstill one of the tournaments u.13cricketers in and around the Hel-derberg look forward to playing in.

“For the first eight years, we had18 schools taking part and eachteam was only able to play twogames before the final. This meantthe teams that were not playing hadto sit around and wait, which wasnot ideal.

“I then decided on a 12 team for-mat to be played on three fields,which meant that each team playedthree matches before the final wasplayed on the A field.”

Les says he has never changed theformat and has deliberately kept itas simple as possible.

“What has stood out for me aboutthis event is theDistrictMail’s loyalsponsorship year in and year out.I believe it is unique in sport thatone company remains so loyal andcommitted to sponsoring the sameevent for 19 years in succession.

“The tournament has only beenrained out twice and when it wasI rescheduled it for the followingweek and in both instances all theinvited teams were back to play.”

After the tournament was rainedout for the second time, theychanged the date from early in Octo-ber to the first week in November.

“The standard of cricket has im-proved dramatically since the firsttournaments. I think this has to dowith the amount of T20 cricket onTV as well as better school coachesand private coaching.

“The boys are also playing better,smarter cricket with less big hittersin action and more stroke makers.We’ve also seen more and more spinbowlers come into the competition.

“All in all I believe this tourna-ment has been a real asset for crick-et in the Helderberg and I hope itcarries on for many years to come,”he adds contemplatively.
