Disheartened mothers with

hungry children, learners wor-

ried about their schooling and

frustrated fathers, angered by

their helplessness to save their

homes and provide security for

their family.

Thiswas the scene at theNomza-

mo Community hall on Tuesday

eveningwhere crowds of homeless

residents from Asanda Village

gathered in the hope of being of-

fered alternative land where they

will be able to erect their homes.

More than 1 000 residents were

evicted from land owned by the

South African National Roads

Agency Limited (Sanral), on Mon-

day and Tuesday this week.

The land is earmarked for the re-

routingof theN2/T2project aspart

of the proposed R10 billion tolling

of the N1 and N2.

Sanral obtained an eviction or-

der from the Western Cape High

Court on 24 January this year.

Rumours that an 18-month-old

babydiedafterbeingshotwithrub-

ber bullets by the police on the

scene could not be confirmed.

According toLieutenantColonel

AndrTraut,spokespersonforpro-

vincial police,he is awareof the ru-

mour, but said that no-one has

come forth with any information

regarding the incident.

According to Kasi Ads freelanc-

er, William Sigwinta, the mother

who is said to have lost a child, is

Neliswa Ngqineka.

Sigwinta says according to the

mother, she was shot by the police

while her baby, Alwaba, was

strappedtoherback.Duringthein-

cident Ngqineka dropped Alwaba.

However, both mother and baby

are fine.

According toWard 85 councillor

Mbuyiselo Matha, around 300 ille-

gal structures were dismantled on

Monday, and about

500 on Tuesday.

Minister of Trans-

port Dipuo Peters

andDeputyMinister

of Human settle-

ments ZoeKota-Fre-

dericks visited the

site of the evictions

and the community hall to engage

with the evictees.

Peters apologised for the un-

timely eviction which has now

been temporarily halted.

People willing to donate food,

clothes, toiletriesandblanketscan

do so at the local fire station.

They were arrested after robbing Gordons

Bay resident Malcolm Fox of his possessions

while he was cycling in the Sir Lowrys Pass

area on Saturday 31May. The entire incident

was captured on his GoPro, a high defini-

According to Fox the incident occurred at

about 12:20. He recalls starting his ride from

Ongegund, following the yellow route.

Hesaysafterabout90minuteshe foundhim-

self on what he thought was the final stretch

The three men, who according to Fox were

determined to get what they wanted, and by

anymeansnecessary, robbedhimofhismoun-

tainbikevaluedatR12 000, cellphone, carkeys

and Oakley sunglasses.

Fox says he had the GoPro strapped to his

helmet and themenwere unaware that the de-

vice was recording the incident. He added the

men probably didnt knowwhat a GoPro was,

otherwise they would have taken it too.

According to Fox the men ordered him to

walk away and he obeyed.

According to trail organiser Johan Kriegler

there is sufficient signage on the routes, but

because the trails run over many farms and

signs are located in open spaces, they are often

vandalised. He said monthly checks are done

to ensure signs are in place.

Kriegler added there is talk of re-routing the

trails for cyclists to avoid potential risk areas.

StraightwayVillage approved

despite residents concerns

DALEEN FOUCH

Theproposeddevelopmentof

several up-market houses in

Parel Vallei Road on the site

of the old Straightway Head

Hotel was approved by sub-

council 22 this month, much

to the dismay of several

neighbours.

The development of 23 dou-

ble-story homes has several

residents and land owners in

Parel Vallei Road concerned

about the impact that the de-

velopment will have on this

up-market and rural suburb.

In 2011 the Straightway

Head Hotel was destroyed by

a fire and the land has since

been standing vacant. Now

developers have approval

from the City of Cape Town

tobuild a RuralLifestyleEs-

tate on the 1,6 hectare prop-

erty.

AndrShearer, a landown-

er in Parel Vallei Road, says

he and several other land

owners inParelVallei are ve-

hemently opposed to the de-

velopment and hired a spe-

cialist in the field of town

planning, Willem Bhr-

mann, to help oppose the de-

velopment.

Bhrmann requested an

opportunitytopresenthiscli-

ents objections to sub-coun-

cil 22 when the proposed

StraightwayVillage develop-

ment application was to be

considered. Bhrmann, how-

ever, says that despite confirm-

atory correspondence, his re-

questand thepromisesof an in-

terview opportunity, were not

honoured.

He believes that council has

opened itself to anAdministra-

tive Justice Act review, since

due process was not followed.

Ward councillor Benedicta

vanMinnenconfirmed that the

proposed development of the

Straightway Village was ap-

proved on 19 May. She says if

there was a request from resi-

dents to voice their objection

during sub-council that did not

takeplace, and that it shouldbe

taken up with the sub-council

manager.

Shearer says many land-

owners in Parel Vallei bought

land there, not to develop, but

topreservethisspecialplace.

How can developers be al-

lowed to just come and dowhat

they want?

Sally Kluth says she is espe-

cially concerned about the im-

pact on traffic. She says it takes

her between 20 and 40 minutes

todrivedownParelValleiRoad

school, and believes the situa-

tion will only worsen if the de-

velopment is allowed to go

DELIAH BRINKHUIS

An elderly Somerset West resident is re-

covering after a severe fall last Tuesday.

A parking marshal for Ace Parking alleg-

edly ran into Colin Holmden (88) from Hel-

derberg Village, knocking him over.

According toGordonsBayresident, Fran-

coisHeyns,whowitnessed the incident it oc-

curred at about 14:30 in Main Road, in front

of First National Bank.

He had parked in front of the bank and

walkedtothecellphonestoreacrosstheroad.

As he entered the shop, he heard the parking

marshal shouting and whistling at him.

Hewent out and indicated to the attendant

who asked for payment that he would pay

him once he returned to his car.

As he approached his car a few minutes

later, the parking attendant came running

from the direction of Oak Street, shouting

obscene, foul language at him about what he

would do if he did not pay the parking fee.

According to Heyns, in his haste to get to

him, the parking marshal ran into Holmden

as he was about to cross the street. Holmden

losthis balanceand fell on thepavement, hit-

ting his face against the tarred surface.

The impact of the fall left Holmden uncon-

scious for a few minutes. I remember that

I looked (down the road) to make sure that

it was safe to cross the road, and the next

thing I knew, I was lying flat on my face,

he recalls.

He says that when he regained conscious-

ness, he was unable to speak. A bystander

phoned the first number she got on his cell-

phone, hoping that she could reach his fami-

ly as he was unable to speak for a while. She

reacheda family friendof theirs inNelspruit

whointurnphonedhiswife,Rita,whoorgan-

ised an ambulance from Helderberg Village

to go to the scene.

Holmdensays , afterhis fall, thebankman-

ager took him inside and he soon felt well

enough to drive himself home.

He later went for a medical check-up and

is thankful that he did not suffer a concus-

sion. He, however, previously had two knee

replacementsandisnowsuffering from pain

in his left knee. His right arm was also

bruised in the fall and he has difficulty in

lifting his arm.

He is grateful to everyonewho came to his

assistance.

Chris de Lange, supervisor for Ace Park-

ing in the Helderberg, says an investigation

into the circumstances that led toHolmdens

fall and injuries has been lodged.

According to him the marshal did not run

intoHolmden, but that Holmden had lost his

balance as he was about to step into the road

from the pavement.

He says the marshal had helped him up

from where he had fallen.

He adds that motorists are often rude to

the marshals and on a few occasions, some

have driven over the feet of parking mar-

shals after they refused to pay for parking.

Colin Holmden sustained several injuries af

ter falling when a parking attendant in

Somerset West allegedly ran into him.

DALEEN FOUCH

ResidentsofSomersetStreetarefurious

with the City of Cape Town due to the

massive delays in a project to replace

storm water pipes.

Theproject,whichstartedinOctoberlast

year, is in its seventhmonth and residents

fear that the project is nowhere near com-

pletion.

Brian Allan, a resident of Somerset

local authorities, as theproject is ahuge in-

convenience for the local residents. A one

way traffic system has been implemented

andAllansays therecentrainhasmadethe

situation even more intolerable due to all

He says even after several correspond-

ences with the City, he has yet to receive

an explanation to explain the delays. Allan

saysseveraldayshavegonebywithoutany

workers on site and he rarely sees more

than three workers on the site.

Brett Herron,Mayoral CommitteeMem-

ber for Transport in Cape Town, says the

contractor appointed to the project has fall-

en badly behind schedule as a result of fi-

nancialconstraints,particularlysinceJan-

uary 2014. Thishashadanadverse impact

on the contractors ability to progress in

terms of the agreed contractual time

frames. The contractor has committed to

completing thework and, given howmuch

has already been done, the City does have

to consider the benefits of termination (if

any) in context. The City sincerely regrets

the delay in completing the works, and the

inconvenience that this is causing. We

would like to takethisopportunity to thank

residents for their patience. Herron says

the works will be completed no later than

the end of June 2014.

The once beautiful river bank

sore.

About four to sixweeksago, con-

grown trees on the river bank and

in the river. Their rubble has been

lying there ever since. Surely

these contractors are obligated to

remove their rubble or are they

hoping that the residents will

eventually do that!

It has made no sense at all as to

why the trees on the river bank

had to be destroyed. Surely, if

there was a problem, low hanging

branches could have been cut

away rather thancuttingdownen-

tire trees?

It is understandable that trees

growing in the river could have

been cleared as they could ob-

struct the water flow after heavy

rains, however, cutting away low

hanging branches could solve that

problem and not necessary for en-

tire trees to be destroyed!

Mayoral Committee Member:

Transport for Cape Town, Cllr

Brett Herron responds:

It must be noted that there are

currently two projects underway

that involve the removal of vegeta-

tion the floodpreventionworksbe-

ing undertaken by Transport for

CapeTown,andanalienvegetation

removal project being undertaken

by the Citys Environmental Re-

source Management (ERM) De-

partment.

The removal of trees, whether al-

ien or indigenous, is being under-

takenintermsof theapprovedEnvi-

ronmental Authorisation. The re-

moval covers trees situated in the

flow channel of the river.

With regard to the waste plant

matter currently on site, it must al-

so be appreciated that emergency

works at the river are still under-

way,andit is inevitable that thepic-

turesque naturewill be affected.We

ask the residents of the area to bear

with us as we try to reduce the risk

of flooding for the benefit of all. The

removal of plant matter was, how-

ever, delayed after complaints from

residents regarding the removal. A

meeting was held with representa-

tives of concerned residents where

the identification of the trees that

were earmarked for removal was

clarified, aswere the reasons fordo-

ing so. A petitionwas handed to the

City requesting that further remov-

al of trees on this section of the river

be halted pending the outcome of

further consultation. After consul-

tation it was decided that trees ear-

marked for removal will still need

to be removed in order to prevent

future floods. The sub-contractor

will be returning to this section of

the river to carry onwith the remov-

al of old tree debris.

The contractor will also be re-

moving the debris created by the

ERM Department project referred

to above in order to expedite the re-

habilitation of the area.Theprofes-

sional team has assessed and reas-

sessed the risk and has tried as far

as possible to keep the removal of

trees to a minimum.

Alhoewel die padagentskap se op-

die tydsberekening van die uitset-

Nog n onbeantwoorde vraag is of

Thanks toeveryone

whovoted

I want to take this opportunity to thank

all the residents of the Helderberg for

their keen participation in the election

that was held last month. It is hearten-

ing to see how the people of the Helder-

berg supported this important national

event, standing in queues for quite long

periods andwere eager to exercise their

right to vote.

Regardlessofwhatpoliticalpartypeo-

ple voted for, it is critically important

for the future of the country that people

continue to vote in the numbers that we

see in the Helderberg.

Also thank you to the IEC and their

staff, the activists from all parties who

participated, and to the people tasked

with cleaning up the mess once every-

thing was over.

Weare very lucky tohave the commu-

nity that we do, and this is thanks in no

small part to the participation in gov-

ernance that we see in the Helderberg.

N n nare ervaring wil n eg-

paar van die Strand graag an-

der honde-eienaars waarsku

teen nvrouwathondebyhaar

woning in Mikrostraat in die

Strand oppas.

Cas enTinkieFourie vertel dat

hulle vir n week (vanaf Vrydag

2 Mei tot 9 Mei) na Namibi ge-

reis het en vooraf gerel het vir

hul Franse miniatuurpoedel,

Noela, om in die sorg vanHelena

Malherbe van Home For Dogs te

bly terwyl hulle weg is.

Die reling het ingesluit dat

die egpaar opVrydag 9Mei terug

sou wees en sommer die volgen-

deoggendvroegvirNoela souop-

laai.

VolgensdieegpaarhetMalher-

be hulle beloof om hul geliefde

troeteldier goed te versorg.

Cas vertel voorts dat hulle tus-

sen 18:00 en 19:00 Vrydag, terwyl

hulle op die vliegtuig was terug

huis toe, n boodskap ontvang

het wat gelees het: Ons het julle

hond in Broadway opgetel. Kon-

tak asseblief hierdie nommer.

Toe my vrou uitvind dat ons

hond opgetel is, was haar eerste

gedagte dat Noela dood is. Ons

het toe later die nommer geska-

kel, s Cas.

VolgensCas het nmanmet die

naamvanAndr die foon opgetel

en bevestig dat hy die hond le-

wend in sy besit het. Gevolglik

het die egpaar sommer dieselfde

aand die hond gaan haal.

Cas s hul hond was maer en

dit was duidelik dat sy nie goed

versorg was nie.

Soos ons gerel het, het my

vrou die Saterdagoggend vir He-

lena gebel om te hoor wanneer

ons Noela kon oplaai. Helena se

ma het egter die foon opgetel en

ges dat Helena nie op daardie

oomblik beskikbaar was nie.

Toemy vrou haar inlig dat ons

met Helena gerel het om Noela

vroeg daardie oggend op te tel,

het sy slegs ges dat dit nie n ge-

le tyd is nie en dat hulle ons la-

ter sou terug bel, s Cas.

Cas vertel dat die vrou toe

nooit teruggebel het nie, en hoe

hulle omstreeks 17:00 weer gebel

het. Di keer het Malherbe opge-

tel en erken dat sy slegte nuus

het.

Volgens die egpaar het Mal-

herbe hulle toe meegedeel dat

Noela dood is. Cas s volgens

Malherbe isNoela al dieDinsdag

dood.

Cas erken dat hy toe saamge-

speel het enwas sy reaksie haai

Helena, hoe kan dit dan nou

wees.

Volgens die egpaar het hulle

ooreengekom dat hulle Noela se

goed die Maandag by Malherbe

sou gaan haal.

Casshullehet toedidagaan-

breek virNoela saamgeneemom

vir Malherbe te konfronteer.

Volgens die egpaar het hulle

Malherbe gesoebat om hulle die

waarheid te vertel, maar sy het

slegs by haar storie gehou dat sy

Noela Dinsdagoggend dood in

haar boksie onder die tafel ont-

dek het.

Selfs toedie egpaarvirMalher-

be die hond gewys het, het sy vol-

gehou dat die hond dood is, want

haar vriendin het die hond nog

na die veearts geneem om haar

te laat veras.

Ons is diep geskok en sal

nooit weer di vrou met ons

hond,wat soos nkind inonshuis

is, vertrou nie. En ons glo ander

moet ook nie, s Cas.

DistriksPos het vandeesweek

met Malherbe in verbinding ge-

tree. Sywou egter geen kommen-

taar oor die voorval lewer nie.

Whydoes nobody believe the official inflation rate?

I will attempt to answer this question

by explaininghow inflation is calculat-

ed.

The inflation rate refers to

the annual average rate of in-

crease in prices represented

by a basket of goods.

The clue to answering the

above question is identified in

this simple definition.

The annual price increase is

specifically related to the

goods contained in the basket.

In other words, the rate of in-

flation depends on which

goods are included in the bas-

ket used to calculate the infla-

tion rate. This is why the pub-

lic has difficulty believing the

published rates.

Each and every person has his or her

own personal inflation rate.

This is because every per-

sons basket of goods differs.

To illustrate; a family with

small children will have an in-

creased weighting of medical

expenses in their basket, high-

er levels of clothing, nappys,

school expenses versus a mar-

ried couple without kids who

spend theirmoney on cars, res-

taurants, entertainment and

overseas holidays.

The Reserve Bank targets an

inflation rate (CPI) of between

3 and 6%.

The current rate is 6% effec-

tive April 2014.

The concern for most people relates to

the link between inflation and interest

rates.

TheReserveBankuses interest rates via

its monetary policy to manipulate the

economy.

During times of recession or down turns

in the business cycle, interest rates are

lowered to provide a stimulatory effect.

During boom times or up turns in the busi-

ness cycle, interest rates are raised to slow

the economy down and thus prevent boom

and bust cycles in favour of price stability.

Frustrationariseswhenelectricitypric-

es rocket by 25% while annual salary and

pension increases are based on a CPI of

6%.

Unfortunately there is no answer for

this, other than calculating your personal

rate of inflation and planning for this gap

by saving when you can.

Unless of course you are prepared to ad-

just your lifestyle by removing somegoods

from your basket and leaving them at the

till (heaven forbid)!

Over the last few years South Africans

have benefited from structurally lower in-

flation and thus lower interest rates, how-

ever we are now facing inflationary pres-

sures, which should, assuming Reserve

Bank adheres to the target policy, result

in higher interest rates

Plan accordingly.

IN MEMORIAM

Peter Pillay - 7/6/2011

Each day as evening starts

to set, the ache builds inmy

chest

I know that I must go to bed

And try to get some rest

I hug my tearstained pillow

closewhen no one is around

And cry for one I loved and

lost and scream without a

sound

Others see me in the day

and think I'm doing well

But every day as evening

sets I enter my own hell

Time hasn't healed my pain

at all or quieted my fears

So every night alone in bed

I shed those silent tears.

Morney, Jared & Priyanka

top angler for his club for the

last three years.

Bay Club while Hilary Brink

was the top woman angler.

This is the time of the year that a group

of top anglers and scientists from the

Marine Research Institute

gather to catch, tag and re-

lease fish atDeHoopNature

Reserve.

Strand angler Alan du Ples-

sis, whowas one of the anglers

who went on the trip, said he

tagged and released 40 elf

(some as big as 4 kg) and a

numberofotherspeciesof fish.

He said he fished with a

group of anglers from last

Monday to Thursday and alto-

gether they tagged 300 fish.

Alan said the galjoen and

white steenbras were scarce

due to the fact that most of the

gullies were silted up with sand.

During the weekend there was no boat-

ing activity at all due to the bad weather

and turbulent seas.

Rock and surf catches were also dismal

withonlya fewgaljoencaught fromMacas-

sar beach.

Joe le Roux, spokesman for False Bay

shore angling club, reported that their an-

nual prize givingwasheld atGordonsBay

Boat Angling Club on Saturday.

Taking toppoints for theyearwasWillie

van Heerden followed by Jan Brink with

Wilhelm de Jongh Junior third. In fourth

place was Joe le Roux and in fifth Stephan

Engelbrecht.

The heaviest edible fish for the yearwas

a kob 18,3 kg caught by Joe le Roux. The

heaviest non-edible was a 107 kg bronze

whaler caught by Wilhelm de Jongh (Jr).

The top junior award went to Jaco Con-

radie. Runner-up was Schalk Brink who

Local sideswell set forpromotion

With the season just about halfway,

Raithby Universals RFC, under coach

Jeremy Jansen, find themselves unbeat-

en and top of the Super C League Log.

Creditmustbegivento theclub that seem

to have adapted to the new league struc-

ture quicker than most.

Sir Lowrians and St Georges are also well

set for promotion to the Super A, at this

stage, but both still have to contendwithVil-

lagers at Brookside in coming months.

Macassar and Strand United are setting

themselves up for top-half finishes, while

Strand Pioneers are still winless after six

rounds.

Lets look at this weeks fixtures, starting

with Helderberg that are back on the park

after a two-week break:

Helderberg vs Bellville (Bellville)

Berge find themselves in the top half of the

table after good wins over promoted clubs.

This is yet another game Im sure they have

targeted, and even four log points will be a

good result for them. Hamiltons and False

Bay are on the road in coming weeks, which

makes this game even more important.

Prediction: Berge to win by 10 or less.

St Georges vs Young Peoples (Gus-

trouw)

TheLulushaveexperiencedagreat season

thus far and will be under a bit of pressure

to convincingly beat bottom side Peoples

from Paarl. Playing at home should make

them favourites, as a bonus-point win will

cement their position in the top three.

Prediction: Lulus to win by 15 or more

with a bonus point.

Macassar vs Brackenfell (Brackenfell)

Macassar possibly find themselves in a

better situation than they realise. Theyhave

played top-sides Villagers, Collegians and

Sir Lowrians already and have quite a few

home games left. Brakkies are a tough team

to beat at home, but a win could be the start

of their chase for a third-place finish.

Prediction:Macassar towin by 2 ormore.

Strand United vs Stellenbosch Corona-

tions (Stellenbosch)

Both these teams are competing for a top-

six finish, at least, in order to play in the

knockout tournament. United are unbeaten

in their last five fixtures, which will make

them travel confidently, but Corries are a

good team this season and feel they should

have beaten both Langa and Raithby. Their

usual homeground is however unavailable

to them.

Prediction: United to win by 5 or less.

Strand vs Paarl (Paarl)

Strand have collected 20 points in their

last four matches, which have catapulted

them to fourth position in the Super C

league. Paarl have not done badly either and

are good playing at home at Faure Street.

Prediction: Paarl to win by 8 or less.

Raithby Universals vs Franschhoek

(Franschhoek)

This is the biggest fixture in the Super C

this weekend. Top side RU face probably

their biggest test yet. Franschhoek lost their

first match last week against Langa andwill

be determined to make up for lost points.

With largehome-crowdsupport, they should

be favourites for thisone.Raithbyon theoth-

er hand will virtually secure a top three fin-

ish if they were to win.

Prediction: Franschhoek to win by 6 or

less.

Strand Pioneers vs Kylemore (Abat-

toir)

Pioneers are having a disastrous season

having notwon a single game yet, and losing

a few by conceding 40 points or more. Kyle-

more are competing for a top-three finish

and have surely pencilled this match as one

to collect 5 points.

Prediction:Kylemore towin by 20 or less.

night or start earlier on Sat-

urday, due to the Springboks

versus World Fifteen match.

MACASSAR VS COLLEGIANS: Macassar Rugby Clubs scrumhalf Cameron Isaacs

prepares to pass the ball to his backline during the match against Collegians played

at Macassar on Saturday. The match en
