Fire rescue inSWest
DELIAH BRINKHUIS
First I was burnt out, and then
flushedout! saysSomersetWest
resident Tony Eyre after survi-
ving a fire at his apartment last
Tuesday.
According to Fire and Rescue
Services spokesperson Theo Layne,
the fire at theOxfordMewscomplex
in Somerset West was caused by a
pot that overheated after the stove
had been left unattended.
Eyre (73) recalls he had heated up
somesoup,butswitchedtheplateoff
before going to lie down. There was
a pan of oil on a second plate, and
he suspects that he may have acci-
dentally switched it on.
Soon afterwards, the pan ignited
and the kitchen was engulfed in
smoke and flames. Painters on site
say they saw the smoke and flames
coming fromtheapartmentatabout
13:30.
Virgil Brown, one of the painters
says his colleague, Franklin Sauls
alerted him to the fire when he
shouted, Brand!
Brown said he immediately
grabbed a hose while Sauls fetched
a fire extinguisher.
Jeandr Tharo, another resident
had been visiting a friend at an
apartment aboveEyres. Tharo said
he smelled smoke and immediately
rushed to the ground floor apart-
ment.
I tried to smash the window by
flingingapotplantagainst itseveral
times, he says. His efforts were
hampered by safety glass and bur-
glar bars. He did not give up and
eventually the glass shattered. The
force with which he smashed the
plantagainst thewindowcausedthe
window frame to shift and he
pushed a hose through the opening
to extinguish the fire.
Eyre had been sleeping in a bed-
room at the back of the apartment,
and the noise woke him up.
I heard a loud thud and got up
to investigate, he says.
When Iopened thebedroomdoor
I saw smoke and flames every-
where.
Eyre could not escape the apart-
ment as both exits were locked and
thekeyswereintheblazingkitchen.
Eyre suffers from emphysema,
and says he rushed to the bedroom
window, stuckhis head through the
burglar bars and shouted for help.
At the same timeBrownran to the
front of the house and tried to open
the locked security gate. Seeing
Eyre gasping for air through the
opening, the painters realised he
was trapped.
I froze when I saw the old man.
I was panic-stricken as I heard his
frantic cries for help, he says.
Adrenalin kicked in. Brown ran
back around the house to fetch a
hammer. Another colleague, Love-
more Ngwene met him halfway,
handing him a pick with which he
smashed the lock.
All I could think of was getting
this man out!
Eyres forlorn appearance
spurred him on even more. Within
minutes,Eyrewas freedand the fire
extinguished.
Paramedics arrived and used a
nebuliser and oxygen to ease Eyres
breathing. He was admitted to the
Vergelegen Mediclinic.
Eyre recalls having to be moved
to another ward when the hospital
was flooded last Wednesday.
I am lucky to be alive and am
grateful for everyone who helped,
Eyre says.
STORM BRINGS RAIN AND SNOW:
The excitement on the Somerset College
Campus was tangible on Friday 30 Au
gust due to all the snow on the surround

Bespiegeling oor brand by gastehuis
DELIAH BRINKHUIS
Die brand wat verlede Woensdagoggend by
dieMullens-gastehuis op die Knorhoek-land-
goed uitgebreek het, is vermoedelik veroor-
saak deur vonke wat vanaf die skoorsteen op
die rietdak beland het, aldus Theo Layne,
woordvoerder van die Kaapstadse se brand-
weerdiens.
KoosJonker,watdie gastehuisbestuur ter-
wyl die eienaars met vakansie oorsee is, ver-
moed egter dat dit brandstigting kon wees.
Jonker s dat die laaste gasteMaandagver-
trek het en dat daar niemand in die huis was
ten tyde van die brand nie.
Volgens Jonker het die plaasbestuurder
hom omstreeks 09:00 gebel en van die brand
verwittig.
Jonker s daar was n klein venstertjie by
die kombuis gebreek wat hom laat vermoed
dat n brandende voorwerp, soos n petrol-
bom, hierdeur gegooi kon wees.
Layne het egter ges daar kon geen bewys
van petrol op die toneel gevind word nie.
Volgens Jonker is hierdie die vierde brand
by di gebou.
Hy s die gebou het die eerste keer in n
veldbrandgebrand.Diedaaropvolgendetwee
kere was daar ook tekens van gedwonge toe-
gang toe die brande uitgebreek het.

Gateblamed for excessive flooding
DALEEN FOUCH
Residents of Penny Lane in Cherrywood
Gardens, Somerset West are blaming a
gate inastreamfor flooddamage to their
homes.
The recent spate of cold fronts caused
flooding across the Helderberg, but resi-
dents of Penny Lane believe their houses
wouldnothavebeenaffectedhad the stream
not been diverted.
Tom Hertog, a retired mining engineer,
livesnext to thepropertywhere thegatewas
erected and is convinced that the gate
caused the stream to change its course and
flood four houses in Penny Lane.
Hertog says he saw debris blocking the
gate and causing thewater level to rise. The
courseof thestreamwasdivertedasaresult,
and the houses were flooded.
But Chris Marais, the manager of Rome
Homestead, where the gate was erected, de-
nies that the gate had anything to do with
the flooding.
He pointed out that the staff of Rome
Homestead cleaned the debris from the gate
the evening before the flood.
Marais addedthatwaterwasnot just flow-
ing from this specific stream, but from vari-
ous other sources that contributed to the
flooding. Rome Homestead also suffered
damages.
One Penny Lane resident, whose home
was flooded on Wednesday evening, 28 Au-
gust, said the water was knee-deep.
Theresidentwhowishes toremainanony-
mous, says his family has to stay in a hotel
until the house is livable again.
He added that it is not the first time the
gate diverted the stream and caused flood-
ing. In 2009 he approached the City of Cape
Town regarding the gate. I read inmy title
deed that one is not allowed to restrict or
block the flow of water.
But after correspondence with City offi-
cials, no action was taken. In his corre-
spondencehe suggested the streamcouldbe
diverted into a storm water drain, but no
action was taken.
Stuart Pringle, ward councillor for the
area, said he was not aware of the problem,
but resolved to start investigating immedi-
ately. While I encourage residents tomake
use of the 0860 103 089 call centre number
and deal directly with officials, I am availa-
ble to assist wherever needed.
This gate, erected in the flow of a stream is
blamed for the flooding of at least four
houses in Penny Lane, after the debris built
up against the gate and diverted its flow.

Theeffectsofabundant rain
DELIAH BRINKHUIS AND DALEEN
FOUCH
The Hottentots Holland mountains were
covered in snow on Friday last week and
many residents, armed with cameras,
were out and about taking photos.
DistrictMail editor, Mark Stuart has been
living in Somerset West since 1990. He said
he recalls seeing the mountains covered in
snow like this about 23 years ago, soon after
he moved here. But, he says, even then the
snowhadnot fallen asheavily or as lowdown
on the mountains as last week.
According toGail Linnow, client liaisonof-
ficer for the regional weather office in the
Western Cape, there are no weather stations
in the areas where snow fell, so there is no
way to measure how much snow fell here.
Linnow says local residents last saw snow
this low on the Hottentots Hollandmountain
range in the 1980s.
Heavy showers fromWednesday to Friday
lastweek caused flooding all over theHelder-
berg.
A total of 108 mm fell from Tuesday 27 Au-
gust to Monday 2 September.
According to Linnow, the Strand hadmore
rain last week than the normal total for the
whole of August. The total was 235,2 mm for
this August, while the average rainfall for
August is 101,9 mm.
Furthermore, the total rainfall from Janu-
ary2013 todate is807,6 mmthehighestsince
1997.
The minimum temperature in August
measured one degree colder at 8,5C than the
averageminimumforAugust,which is 9,5C.
The average minimum for August 2012 was
7,3C.
Informal areas in the Helderberg were
worst affected, but the more affluent areas
were not spared. Many roads were flooded.
By late Wednesday afternoon, several
homes at Kays Caravan Park in Strand were
flooded when the Lourensriver bursts its
banks.
The Strand Sector 3NeighbourhoodWatch
and Strand Police were on the scene quickly
to help residents evacuate their homes and
transport them to the Strand Scouts Hall.
According toNeelsTruter, chairmanof the
neigbourhood watch many Helderberg resi-
dents, businesses and the NG Lourensrivier
congregation supplied warm clothes, blan-
kets, food and mattresses to make the dis-
placed families as comfortable as possible.
The Watch worked around the clock on
Wednesday and Thursday to ensure that af-
fected residents and their homes were safe.
By Saturday, they hadmoved back into their
homes.
Charlotte Powell, head: public awareness
andpreparedness for theCitysDisasterRisk
Management said their department recorded
that 950 informal houses and 3 430 people liv-
ing in informalareashadbeenaffectedby the
floods. The department supplied food and
blankets worth R627 900.
VergelegenMediclinic experiencedpartial
flooding. Hospital spokesperson Kelly Baron
said32patientshadtobemovedtootherunits
in their hospital, and that no patients needed
to be transferred. The emergency centre was
closed and neighbouring hospitals were in-
formed of a possible overflow of patients as
a result.

Did you know that the friendly,
jovial, hands-on owner of the
successful Farmhouse Coffee
Shop in SomersetWest, Christo
Franken, is a qualified metal-
lurgical engineer?
Heascribeshissuccesstobeliev-
ing that a companys biggest asset
is the people who work there.
People need to be treated with
respect in order for them to work
well. We are all born as creative
people and need to be given the op-
portunity to grow to prove this.
Christo, who has been running
this highly successful coffee shop
together with his wife Lizette for
the past ten years, believes that
their success is also due to good
business ethics.
If the staff in a small business
such as mine are happy, the cus-
tomers sense it and theyarehappy
andahappycustomer isasatisfied
customer who comes back again
and again.
Christo is also of the opinion
that in too many businesses today
there are too many managers and
too few leaders.
He defines a leader as someone
who looks after and cares about
the growthandwelfare of staff and
leads by example.
He admits that starting the
Farmhouse was not all smooth
sailing and he and Lizette encoun-
tered their fair share of problems
along the way.
The first three years were ex-
tremely tough and we tried all
sorts of things, not all of them suc-
cessful.
People kept on saying to us we
needed to find our own recipe to
make the business work, but no-
body was prepared to tell us what
that recipe was so we had to find
it out ourselves.
The concept and the name
Farmhouse came from my
mother-in-law and this concept to-
gether with the frozen meals and
a good breakfast has always
worked.
Christo says the changes they
made in the fourth and fifth year
really turned thebusinessaround.
He considers that another as-
pect of this successful business is
delivering a consistent quality of
servicewithinahomely,happyen-
vironment which sells tasteful,
good value-for-money products.
ChristowasbornandbredinEp-
ping.
After school he studied metal-
lurgical engineering at Stellen-
boschUniversity from1979 to1983.
While there he played rugby
(scrumhalf) for Dagbreek which
won the Sauer Trophy during that
time.
After studying, he completed
two years of military training af-
ter which he worked at Iscor in
Vanderbijlpark for 18 months. He
then returned to the Cape, where
heworkedatSomchemasachemi-
cal engineer.
During this time he met Lizette
and they were married on 10
March in 1990.
In 1995 he was retrenched. He
moved to Pretoria and worked for
Fluoropack as a technicalmarket-
ing agent.
In 1999 he came to Somerset
West as the parts manager at Hel-
derberg Toyota, a business owned
by his wifes parents Laurie and
Helmien Claassen.
After working there for about
five years he decided to go back in-
to production engineering which
he did for a year before trying his
hand at something else.
Around2003mybrother-in-law
Theo Claassen (who developed
The Trading Post) suggested that
I open a business in the centre.
After a fair amount of research
mywifeandI thoughtacoffeeshop
could be a feasible business and so
The Farmhouse was born.
Christo and his wife have three
sons, Tiaan (20), who is studying
a BCom at Stellenbosch Universi-
ty and also a resident at Dagbreek,
Phillip (17) a grade 11 pupil at Paul
Rooswhoisa top tennisplayerand
Morn (12) a grade 6 pupil at De
Hoop.
When not working (which is
very seldom) Christo enjoys
watching sport, playing squash
andspending timewithhis family.

Cum se hoof besigheid is boeke
en as n sekondre inkomste be-

Di gedeelte van hul winkel het
gou n gunsteling kuierplek ge-
word. n Groot rede daarvoor was
dat hulle die mees bekostigbare
koffie in die Mall gebied het en
daarmee saam ook lekker, smaak-
like en bekostigbare eetgoed. Die
kombinasie was duidelik n wen-
ner, veral ook by die ouer mense.
Natuurlik het die boekeafdeling
vandiewinkelookvoordeelgetrek
uit die mense wat kom sit het en
dan deur die winkel gestap het en
n boek of drie of n CD gekoop het.
Maar die goeie kombinasie en
die ho getal mensewat daar in en

noeg vir die eienaars van Cum-
Boeke nie. Hulle het dit nou goed
gedink om die koffie met 50% te

met 100% verhoog van R5 na R10!
So n koffie en refill kos nou R25.
Vergelyk dit met Cafe Rosini, vir

ontbyt en koffie aan vir R29,90.
Spur bied n bottomless koffie met

Wimpy koffie is R12. Dis eet- en

gend te bly? Watter besigheid ver-
hoog enige prys met 50% en 100%
op n slag? En dit vir koffie! Kyk
maar na enige plek wat koffie be-
dien,wanneerhullepryseverhoog
doen hulle dit met R1 maksimum.
Hoekom? Want klante wil nie uit-
gebuit word nie.
Asof die koffie-verhoging by
Cum nie genoeg is nie, het hulle
ook hulle van eetgoed-verskaffer
verander. (En glo my daar was
niks met hul vorige een verkeerd
nie.) Waar n heerlike sny koek en
koffie voorheenR30 gekos het, kos
ditnouR40wanthulnuweverskaf-
fer se pryse is belaglik! n Mens
mag dalk dink dat hulle net hulle
winsgrens wou verhoog, maar dit
kan nie wees nie. Neem byvoor-
beeld hulle wortel-muffin. Dit het
R10 by Smiling Oven (hulle vorige
verskaffer) gekos en Cum het dit
teen R18 verkoop. Dit is n profyt
van amper 100%. So Cum het wel
goedgeldgemaakenhulklantehet
nie gevoel hulle word uitgebuit
nie. Nou is dit n ander saak.
Nou vra ek net of dit nou nie n
kwessie is van jouself in die voet
skiet nie? Die afgelope langna-
week het al die plekke in die Mall
uit hul nate gebars, maar Cum se
tafeltjies was leeg. Meeste klante
voel dat Cum geldgierig geword
het en dit ten onkoste van hulle ja-
relange, lojale klante.
SUSANN DONNELLY
STRAND
Brenda du Plessis, operasionele
bestuurder by CUM-Boeke lewer
kommentaar:
Ons klinte se opinie is vir ons
baie belangrik, daarom maak
CUM-Boeke graag van hierdie ge-
leentheid gebruik om te reageer op
Susann Donnelly se brief.
Soos enige ander besigheid moet
CUM-Boeke van tyd tot tyd vernu-
we. Nie net omdat ons graag vars
en nuut wil wees nie, maar ook om-
dat die sentrumbestuur dit van ons
verwag. Natuurlik sluit dit die kof-
fiekroeg-gedeelte van onswinkel in.
Daarom het ons onlangs nuwe ta-
fels en stoele in onskoffiekroeggesit
om n nuwe voorkoms aan daardie
gedeelte van die winkel te gee.
Ookdie spyskaartmoes vernuwe,
want geen restaurant bied vir tien
jaar dieselfde spyskaart sonder om
veranderinge aan te bring nie. Ons
het na ons klinte geluister en op
grond van hul voorkeure verande-
ringe aangebring aan die spys-
kaart. Ongelukkig kan ons nie aan
almalsevoor- enafkeuregehoorgee
nie, maar probeer n wye verskei-
denheid eet- en drinkgoed aanbied
waaruit ons klinte kan kies.
Weens ons goeie pryse en uitste-
kende diens is ons koffiekroeg n
baie gewilde kuierplek. Omdat
CUM-Boeke egter niemarkverwan-
te pryse gevra het nie, het dit daar-
toe gelei dat sommige mense van
08:00 in die oggend tot laatmiddag
in ons koffiekroeg gesit en werk en
kuier het. Hoewel dit vir ons lekker
is dat mense so gemaklik is, het ons
daagliksbaieklagtesvananderkli-
ente ontvang omdat dit vir hulle
voel daar is nooit plek om te sit nie.
Met dit alles inaggenome het ons
besluit dit is die regte tyd om ons
pryse aan te pas. Ons wil egter be-
klemtoon dat ons steeds produkte
van die hoogste gehalte bied teen
kompeterendepryse.Diemeestevan
ons klinte aanvaar hierdie veran-
deringewat ons aangebring het, en
is baie gelukkig daarmee. Daar is
egter enkele klinte wat dalk nie
hiermee saamstem nie en verkies
om nie meer ons koffiekroeg te be-
soek nie. Alhoewel ons jammer is
oor hul besluit, respekteer ons hul
keuse.
Foodandwarmclothingdesperatelyneeded atCentre
The current bitterly cold, wet and
stormy conditions have produced
untold misery and hardship for
the sick, the poor and those who
live on our streets or with inade-
quate shelter.
The Helderberg Street Peoples
Centre (HSPC)hasbeeninundated
with people in need of help, not
least something warm to eat. The

Maywe also appeal to the commu-

Thankyou foryourcompassion,

PEOPLES CENTRE
Strikeaction
shouldnotbe
violent
The strike action by construction
workers in and around Lwandle has
spiralled out of control and innocent
people and bystanders are being in-
timidated and attacked.
Numerous incidents of threaten-
ing behaviour and violence against
women and the elderly were report-
ed to the DistrictMail this week.
To be on the receiving end of vio-
lenceof suchanaturemustbefright-
ening. The strikers seem intent on
preventing everyone in Lwandle
from going to work and in many in-
stances they are succeeding.
TheSouthAfricanPoliceServices
are on the scene, but because the
strike action is sowidespread, there
is not much they can do.
One can understand that people
who are unhappy with their work
situation have the right to express
themselves by striking.
However, its totally unacceptable
that they stop people, who are not
even in the construction trade, from
going towork by intimidating them.
Issues for street people
centre continue
The issue regarding the Helderberg
Street PeoplesCentrehas beenanongo-
ing battle in our community with indi-
viduals with various opinions on the
role of the centre and the details about
operating a street peoples centre in our
area.
Some feel that this centre serves the
community and the homelesswhile oth-
ers feel that it staying open increases
crime in the area.
Theproperty leaseas is, isnot guaran-
teed and is renewed on month to month
termsseeingasthepropertydepartment
are currently investigating the Centre.
The Citys Social Development and
Early Childhood Development Directo-
ratepresented theCitysSocialDevelop-
ment Strategy, as well as the Street Peo-
ple Programme Strategy at a follow-up
stakeholdersmeeting to inform the rele-
vant stakeholders of the role and man-
date of this directorate in relation and
alignment to theCitys SDS and the IDP.
Thismeetingalsodeterminedhowthe
soup kitchen could work with the City
to enhance existing programmes.
ThemeetingwasheldonFriday23Au-
gust and it was decided among other
things, that a two month screening of
people using the centre will be done.
From these forms we are able to see
which services the centre are rendering
and what role the City can play. These
formswillalso indicatewhether thecen-
tre is in fact supplying food and services
to the homeless or just poverty-stricken
individuals fromthearea.The follow-up
details and outcomes will also be com-
municated to our community.

"USINESS
Howpolitics affect investment
I am a firm believer in never discuss-
ingsex, religionandpoliticsat thedin-
nertable,partly tomaskmyignorance
on the topics, but mostly just to avoid
any nasty surprises from my dinner
guests.
Thisweek Iwould like to breakmy rule
and touch on the current South African
political landscape and how this is affect-
ing investment decisions.
Believe it or not the Zumas govern-
ment has actually been quite good for
business and that is because
they do nothingA laissez-faire
approach with little or no gov-
ernment interference is very
good for business.
Therecent launchof theEco-
nomic Freedom Fighters
(EFF), led by comebackkid Ju-
liusMalema, shouldsendshiv-
ers down any investors back.
If theEFFdoesmanagetoget
some votes, the ANC will be
forced to move further to the
left with changes in economic
policy favouringamoresocial-
ist approach
Needless to say this would
be bad for investors.
The question is, will the EFF get votes?
And the answer is yes; given the partys
likely appeal to the unemployed youth
and the fact that South Africa currently
has the highest percentage of youth be-
tween the ages of 15 and 24 in the world.
ButwhataretherisksofanArabSpring
in SA?
ClemSunter,wellknownscenarioplan-
ner and author of several books, has iden-
tified three ingredients for a Arab
Spring uprising.
Number one is the before mentioned,
which is a large percentage of unem-
ployed youth, number two is a disconnect
with government (sound familiar) and
number three is good social networks.
South Africa is three for three; in fact
weareprobablyaworld leaderonthese
three metrics. But before you pack
your bags for Perth, there is a salient
difference to the Egypts of the world
and that is that we are a true democra-
cy. The risk to our democracy is not
so much unemployment or poverty,
but inequality, the wealth gap, which
breeds contempt and could go some
way to explaining the resentful and vi-
olent behaviour of criminals in our so-
ciety.
An interesting side note on the un-
employment figures,
which are officially re-
corded as 25%. If you in-
clude those job seekers
who have quit looking for
work then the percentage
rises to 37%, however if
take into account South
Africasmassive informal
sector,which is estimated
to be around +-6.5 million
economically active peo-
ple then the unemploy-
ment percentage falls be-
low 10%.
As long as people have
the ability to earn an in-
come, which is adequate
to provide for basic needs, the risk of
an Arab Spring uprising is reduced
significantly. Take away this ability
and you have a problem, this is why
the recent proposals around the licens-
ing of businesses is worrisome and
should be resisted.
For most of us: we are economically
trapped in SA, so we better make sure
we keep this ship afloat and lets be
honest there is still no place like home.
Make sure youre registered to vote
next year.

A month since you've been
gone. We were not there
when you closed your

die. We only heard that
you were gone without a

you'll always be in our
hearts. No words we write
