Nomana’s distraught father, Siyabulela Njwangu, said on the scene that he could not explain what had happened. “The one minute Lindokuhle and his friends were playing and laughing, the next minute we smelt something burning and then the screams of children. “We rushed to the scene and found our burning child. His skin and clothes were badly burnt and blood was pouring from his head.” A neighbour covered the child in a blanket and moved him away from the lethal scene, but Nomana was already dead.

According to members of the emergency services, this is a highly dangerous practice. Many of these illegal connec- tions have previously resulted in power overflows and electric fires. It is not only residents of infor- mal homes stealing electricity, but also owners of low cost hous- es, as they are simply not pre- pared to pay for electricity. “We have in the past per- formed operations disconnect- ing illegal wiring only to find the wires erected again the very next day.” A spokesperson for the Drak- enstein Municipality, May Carolissen, said that the munic- ipality is shocked and saddened at the death of the child. “We immediately sent out technicians to establish the cause of this tragedy. “It was found that electricity was illegally being channelled to one of the old hostel buildings. This connection was then imme- diately discontinued.” Carolissen added that a report was recently compiled by the Municipality to address this problem. The provision of pre-paid elec- tricity to informal areas is one of the options outlined in the re- port. But this will entail consid- erable operational problems, as shacks will have to be moved for the infrastructure to be in- stalled. DEATH.

THE remains of a six-year-oldchild who went missing inMbekweni almost two and ahalf months ago, have presu-mably been found.
This grizzly discovery wasmade on the Berg River side ofthe railway track near Drom-medaris Street.
Askullwasfirstdiscoveredbyamanwhowasgatheringwood.On further investigation hefound more bones concealed ina bag which was wrapped in aduvet.
It is suspected that dogs hadgnawed their way through thebag, feasting on the remains.
Police described the find as a‘bag of bones’ with not much vi-
sual evidence to identify thechild.
Forensic tests will now haveto be done to verify whether thebody is indeedthatofAsemahlaNtsabo who went missing onSaturday evening, 21 January.
She was playing near her ho-me in an informal settlementclose to the Mbekweni railwaystation in Drommedaris Street.
Amassivesearchforthechildfollowed, incorporating variousdivisions of the police force, aswell as the community.
Shortly thereafter policequestioned aman known to thefamily who resides close to theNtsabo home, but no concreteevidence could link the manwith the child’s disappearance.
Aweeklater,LangaMbinjana(27),ahomelessman,camefor-ward and told the police that hehad abducted the child, rapedandmurderedher,beforedum-pingherbodyinadamadjacentto the nearby Paarl water treat-ment works.
But despite the dam beingscouredbypolicediversandthearea searched with the help ofapolicehelicopter,nosignofthechild was found.
Police continued there se-arch, still interviewing variousmembers of the community.
The suspect also later revea-led to police that another manhadtakenpart intheabductionand murder.
This led to the first suspect,Songezo Deleki-Mpitolo, beingarrested and linked with herdisappearance and possiblemurder.
Various questions are nowbeing asked about where thebody had been hidden all thistime, as the area where it was
discovered had beenpainstakingly sear-ched.
Bothsuspectshadbeen under lock andkey when it wasdumped next to therailway line.

Tragedie tref bekende gesinLise Beyers
’n JONG boer het Maandagaand in ’nfratsongeluk gesterf.
Gustav Steyn (23) van Wellington hetsaam met ’n vriend in ’n pypkar gery opOversig-plaaslangsdieR45,waardiege-wilde kuierplek Breezy Hill is.
Volgens inligting het die voertuig seremmeom’ndraaionklaargeraak.Hier-na het die pypkar en sy twee insittendesby ’n wal afgeploeg en in die middel vandie R45 te lande gekom.
Steynisuitgeslingerenisopslagdood.Die ander insittende, Nico Viljoen, ook
vanWellington,ismeternstigebeseringsna Paarl Mediclinic geneem.
Die verkeer het hierna vir ’n geruimetyd tot stilstandgekomopdieR45 terwyldie toneel ondersoek en opgeruim is.
Steyn, wat by Hugenote Hoërskool ge-matrikuleer het, het die afgelope tweejaar as plaasbestuurder by Pontsplaasbuite Wellington gewerk.
Sy ouers is Deon en Strelza Steyn vanWellington.Deonwastotonlangsonder-wyser by Hoër Landbouskool en Strelzagee onderwys by Hugenote Laerskool.
Slegs ure na die nuus van hierdie ge-wilde jong man se afsterwe, het dit ge-gons tussen sy vriende op die sosialewebwerf, Facebook.
“Rus in vrede Gustav!! Gaan daardiestywe drukkies en cheeky glimlag baiemis.”
“Gustav jywas ’nwonderlikemensomte ken!! Gaan jou erg mis.”
“Gustav, ons almal gaan jou mis! Dienuus het ons almal se harte geruk! Russag by Jesus!”
“MagdieHeerdieSteyn-familietoevoumetSyliefde,Gustavoumaat,jysalaltydgemis word!”
“Een oomblik lag ons nog saam, dievolgende oomblik is jy nie meer daar nie!Sal jou nooit vergeet nie. RIP jou greatmens!!”

Treatment of polo ponies investigated at Val de VieINADEQUATErules,lackofenforce-ment of existing rules and cuttingcosts relating to the welfare of ani-malsarethemainissuesthattheNa-tional Council of SPCAs is taking upwith regard topoloat venues likeVal de Vie outside Paarl.
An urgent meeting has beenrequestedwiththeSouthAfricanPolo Association and the gover-ning body of equine sports inSouth Africa, the SA Equine Fe-deration, as the welfare of poloponies is of extreme concern.
The Pony Welfare Rules statethat “Clubs must ensure that aveterinarian is on standby andeasily contacted.”
This is inadequate accordingto Inspector Mike Allen of theEquine Unit of the NationalCouncil of SPCAs.
“I was present at a polo matchwhen an animal fell. An ambu-lancerushedtothesideofthefal-lenrider.Therewasnoveterinari-an at the event and he needed tobe contacted by phone to comeout and assist.”
WhentheNSPCAInspectorraisedthis issue with the management ofthe Val de Vie Polo Club in Fransch-hoek,hewastoldthatthebudgetdidnot allow for a veterinarian to be onsite.
Investigations and assessmentshave taken place at various venues
where polo matches took place, in-cluding international games.
Lack of shade, lack of water, po-nies playing two chukkas, beingyanked in the mouth and general
rough treatmentaswell asaggressi-ve riding were the main issues iden-tified.
Inspector Mike Allen requestedthat shade was erected at the Val deVie tournament – even temporaryshelter – as temperatures were rea-ching the upper 30 degree levels by
mid afternoon.Horses or ponies completing seri-
ous exercise were being tied up inthis extreme heat.
InspectorAllenwasadvisedbytheorganisers that no shade wouldbe placed in the field as it wouldnot fit in with the scenery andwouldspoil the image.Anunder-taking was given to look into thismatter at a later stage.
Intervention by the NSPCA ledto water being made availableand animals being cooled downafter the polo matches.
At the Val de Vie tournament,two written warnings in terms ofthe Animals Protection Act wereissued relating to riders usingspurs excessively and their hor-ses being found to have injurieswhen they came off the field ofplay.
“It is noted that riders yankedtheirhorses in themouthduringplay, but no action was taken bythe umpires despite the rule thata rider could be penalised for do-ing so.
“The issues are not what happensbehind the scenes at polo, but whatis taking place overtly, in the eyes ofthepublicandwithoutcorrectiveac-tionbeingtakenbytheorganisersorofficials.Investigationswillcontinueand findings will be made pu-blic,”said Perrins.
Be alert for scammers who wantto ‘fix’ your electricity meterRESIDENTSoftheDrakensteinarea are warned of a scam whe-reby individuals,posingasmu-nicipal officials, are offering toinstall a “chip” into their electri-citymeterstoreducetheirener-gyconsumption foranexpensi-ve fee.
The scamsters, after recei-ving payment and “installingthe chip”, then give the ho-meowneraletter,onafalseDra-kenstein Municipal letterhead,to confirm the transaction.
The homeowner is then re-quested to not contact the Mu-nicipality, but to use the num-ber quoted in the letter.
According to Michael J Rho-de, Head of the Department:Electricity Services in Draken-stein, residents must alwaysverify whether anybody clai-ming to be a municipal official
is in fact such, before allowingthem onto the property.
Homeowners can verify thisbycheckingtheIDcard againstthe person’s ID, but it is alwaysbest to phone the ElectricityDepartment on 021 871 1911to verify the individual’s name,ID and staff number.

EN toe is die doemprofete reg. Al jare lank word daar gesê dat dit net’nkwessievantyd is totdat iemanddoodgeskokwordweensdieonwet-tige kragkoppelings in informele woongebiede.
Vandeesweek het ’n sesjarige kind só grusaam gesterf.In hierdie gebiede sien ’n mens duidelik hoekom hierdie onwettige
koppeling‘spaghetti-drade’genoemword.Losbedradingshanggekop-pelvanaf straatligteenwordherleivanhuisnahuis.DieMunisipaliteitly derduisende rande verlies hierdeur en op die langtermyn betaal diebelastingbetaler hiervoor.
En nou het ’n onskuldige kind, wat op ’n Sondagmiddag soos enigeander kind met sy makkers baljaar het, hom doodgeskok as gevolgvan hierdie bedrading.
Maar wat is die antwoord? Die Munisipaliteit het al verskeie kerehierdie gebiede binnegegaan en die onwettige drade ontkoppel. Maarletterlik binne ure is hulle herkoppel deur die gemeenskap. Daar isnetniegenoegfondseomvirelkeinformelewoning’neiekragkoppelingte voorsien nie. Daar is dus net nie lig aan die einde van die tonnelvir die belastingbetaler wat al hierdie kostes moet dra nie.

WE are approaching the Easterweekend and people are goingto be observing this religiousfestival in different ways.
Someone reminded me onFacebook of Easter in MbekweniespeciallywhenIwasgrowingup.
It brought back memories oftwoeventsthatdominatedEasterinourtownship.Thefirstonewasthe church gatherings thatbrought visitors.
Easter meant that even thosewho have not been in church ina while went to church. As thisgroup we went to church in pur-suant of different objectives.
SomesawtheimportanceoftheEaster weekend and remembe-red the sacrifice of God in redee-ming mankind. They thus reser-vedEasterasoneof the“bigdays”for going to church.
SomeofusenjoyedthefactthattherewerevisitorsfromoutsideofMbekweni.
This meant friendships will bedeveloped and letterswill have to be writtento new people. Itshould be remembe-red that therewerenocell-phones when Igrew up.
Telkom phones we-re later introduced tofew houses in the township anditmade thesehousesa bit specialas they received call for people inthe entire street.
Back to Easter, some of us hadfar less than noble intentions forcelebrating the arrival of the Eas-ter visitors. We prowled thestreets and frequented churchhouses to find Easter girlfriendsfrom amongst the visitors.
Itsohappenedthattheyoungercongregants also were not inMbekweni for church alone.
Talkofmulti-taskingandmanyunholyalliancesformedonthesi-delines of holy celebrations ofGod’s sacrifice!
A second exciting thing aboutEaster in Mbekweni used to besport tournaments. In the periodleading towards the Easter wee-kends the atmosphere would beone full of preparations.
You would hear “one lala onevuka” as people counted down tothe day of the departure of onerugby or soccer team to take partina tournament inanother town.
Thesewouldbeourrepresenta-
tives in the towns and cities thatthey would be visiting. We wouldtryasmuchaswaspossibleto fol-low their exploits on the field ofplay.
The other rugby and soccer te-ams that were not going awaywouldalsoorganisetournamentsin Mbekweni and this would in-volve outsiders (by this I do notmean refugees).
These teams from outside ofPaarl would be accommodated ataschoolorsomewhereandbeen-tertained.
At times there would beslaughtering of a cow or sheep aspart of the weekend meal and adisco and other forms of enter-tainment would be organised forthe evenings. Sporting gameswouldkeepusentertainedduringthe day.
Although these were hosted byrespective sporting teams we no-netheless accepted them as theguests of the township of Mbe-
kweni.Violence and crime
are not part of my me-mory of Easter inMbekweni. We hadgood,religious,sportyand peaceful times.
All these happenedwhilst households fe-
asted on curry fish and buns. Idon’t remember ever seeing ahousehold that cooked anythingelse on “Good Friday”.
I do not want to deal with thebeliefsthataccompaniedthecho-iceofmeal.Ienjoyedthistraditionand missed it when I was in Gau-teng.
Thanks to the person who re-mindedmeaboutthis Inowknowwhere Iwant tobeonEaster. Iwillattend my church’s Easter Con-vention in a nearby town, but willdefinitely visit Mbekweni and en-joy what I can of the festivities.
I am confident that I will not re-gret and my time will not be was-ted by being there.
I might have to be a bit carefulatnightbecausethesedayscrimedoes not observe respite, even onEaster.
I have lived in different areas,butIstillyearnforthecommunityspirit that accompanied Easterwhen I grew up in Mbekweni.
Allow me to take this opportu-nity to wish everyone in Mbekwe-ni and in Paarl a blessed and ahappy Easter weekend.

Disappointed at carnivalST ALBAN’S PRIMARY re-cently held their carnival inWellington.
My Grade 11 son went tothe carnival on 17 March,and paid a total of R50 en-trance fee for him and hisfriend.
The advertisement clearlystated R15 for children andR25 for adults.
On19March Iphoned theschool, explaining what hadhappened. No one was avai-lable to speak to me at thatpoint.
Icalledbacktheafternoonand was informed that the
matter had been discussedand that there was no proofthat my son had actuallypaid that total.
How does this justify theunfair treatment towardsmy son and his friend?
It troubles me that a “mis-take” like thiswasmadeandat theendof theday it seemsyou are the one at fault forstanding up for what’s rightand wrong.
Isn’t this what is taught toour children at schools - notto steal or lie?

Strange lightON Wednesday night 28March I was outside my housein Wellington facing towardsPaarl when I saw a strangelight moving from west to east(from Table Mountain in thedirection of Wellington) atabout 20:00.
There was a bright orangeglow, but no sound. It movedmuch faster than an airplane,but was controlled and not aslightning fast as a meteor.
It passed from sight over theKlein Drakenstein mountains.
Anyone who had a similarsighting must please phone meon 072 158 9986.

AS we well know, speeding carsand motor bikes are a majorconcern to many people inPaarl. I am one of them. LivingonMainStreet Ihavea frontrowseat to what is becoming an ac-tual racetrack.
On the stretch of Main Street,Northern Paarl, there are nospeed reducing measurementsin place, like the speed bumpsin the central part of town.
Therefore, Iwonder,are the li-ves of kids attending Gymnasi-um High less valuable?
There is a lot of talk on thespeeding issue, but recognisingthe problem and talking aboutit does not solve the problem.
Apparently, every once and awhile there are speed traps, butI do not see any positive effectsonthepromisemadebythetraf-fic department in an article on8 September (‘Ernstige optredegaangeneemwordteenjaagdui-wels’).
I would like to know how sus-tainable isthispromise?Surely,the department is not still ‘ana-lysing’ a problem that is clear toanyone?
We all know that speed trapsand cameras do not have a per-manent effect on drivers.
The question here is not howto enforce the law, since thatdoes not work for all the rea-sons, but to put actual and per-manent measurements in place
to force people to reduce speed,24 hours a day.
The lackof initiatives fromtheofficials is very concerning.
The ward councillor is strug-gling to put this matter on theagenda,but I donot seeany fur-ther actions from him.
Whatconcernsmethemost isthat the traffic department doesnot respond to my request ‘tostartwalkingthetalk’ inthe firstplace. I can only guess what thereasonsarefortheirnotwantingto contact me.
I turnedtoHectorElliot,Headof Ministry, Transport and Pu-blic Works (Western Cape Go-vernment), and asked him if hecould make the Municipalityrespond. He told me that hewould do so. Unfortunately, hisrequest has had no effect overthe last few weeks.
Isincerelyhopethatthisletterwill trigger the Municipality topresent a plan to all people inPaarl on how they will deal withthe speeding issue effectively.
I realise we all are in this toge-ther and I am willing to do mypart.Afterall,weall areaccoun-table for our actions.

The Drakenstein municipalspokesperson responds:Wearewellawareofthespee-
ding problems in Draken-stein.
Life is indeedapreciousgiftandshouldbetreatedassuch.No value can be attached to li-fe.
Numerous speed reductionmeasures were introduced inDrakenstein,ofwhichmanualspeed checking, speed came-ras, speedhumpsetccanonlybe mentioned as a few.
The Main Street howeverpresents its own unique chal-lenges and the way to dealwith it depends largely on theinter-relations between Edu-cation, Engineering and En-forcement.
The passion and drive of yo-ur ward councillor, should onthe contrary be commented.
Hefrequentedthetrafficof-fice, offering his assistancewith our frustrations in dea-ling with our funding con-straints.
Theissueofspeeding isare-lentless battle,but we remaincommitted in dealing with it.
Speeding problems linger on
Beware of dodgy data deal at VodacomTHE currently advertised “night owl” data spe-cial of Vodacom is very risky. I took this pac-kage of R99 per month on 27 February at thePaarl Mall Vodashop and by 16 March had anaccount of over R25 000.
I hereby want to warn other consumersagainst this. The “night owl special” is notavailable to top up or pre-paid customers, soyou have to take a contract.
The R99 per month is then open to anynumber of disasters such as hacking, virus
problems which run up the bill – a fact whichis not mentioned and emphasised in theirmarketing.
Now that all my cell lines have been cut off,the problem resolution process at Vodacom isextremely slow and it seems that all the liabi-lity lies with the customer.
I am totally disgusted and disillusioned withVodacom’s customer care!

SMS 32363 Impressive serviceVERY early on Saturday morning, 10March, I heard a metallic hammeringsound outside.
I immediately thought it was the “Tik”brigade harvesting copper pipes andjumped out of bed to see what I coulddo. To my surprise I saw it was the Mu-nicipality repairing a water pipe on thecorner of Main and Jan Phillips Drive. Itwas then that I realised how lucky weare to have a municipality that functi-ons as well as it does.
Yes, we may complain, but we are oneof the few towns that still work and cantell our disbelieving friends in the otherprovinces about the sort of service thatwe have. Thank you, Drakenstein Muni-cipality.

MIV leer vrou om ander te help’nVROUwatalbyna17jaarleefmetdieMIV-virushet as gevolghiervan haar hart oopge-maak vir die Klapmuts-gemeenskap en dienie-winsgewende organisasie Act of Gracebegin.
Charmaine Peterson vertel dat voor symet MIV gediagnoseer is, baie selfsugtig ge-lewe het.
“Ek het blind deur die lewe gegaan. MIVwasmy ‘eyeopener’ enmy ‘wake-upcall’ omvir my medemens te begin lewe.
“Ek het self deur baie dinge gegaan, so ekhelpniemenseuitboekenie, ekhelpmenseuit eie ondervinding.”
Act of Grace is geleë in ’n kantoor agterdie Klapmuts-stasie wat sy huur by AgriWes-Kaap.
Ditdienasgemeenskapskantoorwatvoe-dingbiedaanminderbevoorregtesenookastoevlugsoordvirmensemetprobleme.Hullebied ook geestelike berading en beplan ookom binnekort ’n veilige huis in Klapmuts tebegin.
Petersonheteersuithaarwoning inKlap-muts die gemeenskap gehelp, maar moesnoodgedwonge by haar ouers in Elsiesriviergaan woon omdat sy nie meer die huur kondek nie.
Daagliks reis sy en haar dogter met dietrein na Klapmuts en stap sy na waar sy indie gemeenskap benodig word.
“Vervoer is ’n groot probleem vir ons. Onskry baie keer donasies, maar omdat ons ditnie self kan gaan optel nie, verbeur ons dit.”
Eenvanhaarwense isdatdaarnie langer’n stigma moet kleef aan kinders met MIV/Vigs nie en dat hulle nie Vigswesies genoemmoet word nie.
Oor haar eie gesondheid vertel Petersondat sy die blink kant bo hou.
“Al ding van my siekte is, dat ek party daebaie moeg is. Ek raak by tye so moeg datmy dogter moet help om my te was, maarek sê altyd, my houding dra my.”
Peterson is die ma van twee kinders,maar het al verskeie kinders onder haarvlerkgeneemtothulle inpleegsorggeplaasword.
TherezaSwart, tesourierbyActofGrace,vertel: “Charmaine verdien geen salarisnie. Woorde kan nie beskryf wat hierdievrou alles vir die gemeenskap van Klap-mutsbetekennie - syhet ’nhart vangoud,’n liefde vir kinders.
“Sy lewer onbaatsugtige diens aan hier-diemense, sy voorsien hulle van klere, lief-de, geestelike berading en vele meer.”
Omdat die werkloosheidsyfer, tiener-swangerskappe en ander probleme toe-neem, wil Act of Grace hulp aan die ge-meenskap verleen deur die opheffing vanongeletterdesenarmesenopvoedingrond-om MIV/Vigs.
“Ons wil die jeug toerus met geestelikeensosialevaardighedesodathullebohulleomstandighede kan uitstyg. Ons wil hulleverseker van ’n beter toekoms vir hulle endaaropvolgende geslagte.”
Act of Grace bied vir die gemeenskap dievolgende dienste: opvoeding en opleidingten opsigte van MIV/Vigs, maatskaplikedienste deur ’n gekwalifiseerde maatskap-like werker, ’n voedingsprogram, kuns- enkunsvlytklasse, Bybelstudie, aktiwiteitevir die jeug asook Sondagskool.
Metdieoogopgroei,worddaarbeoogomhul voedingsprojek uit te brei na vyf daeper week, met kospakkies wat oor nawekeuitgedeel kan word.
Hulle wil ook hul klerebank deur middelvan donasies aanvul, asook meer kom-buisware aanskaf vir hul voedingsprojek.
Ook beoog hulle om deur middel van op-leiding, entrepreneurskap aan te wakker indiegemeenskapomsodoendediewerkloos-heidsyfer te laat daal.
Ander planne vir die toekoms sluit in ver-betering van lees- en skryfvaardighede, be-
vordering van lewenswaardes, beter be-stuur van huishoudings, kinderversorgingen vele meer. Hulle beplan ook MIV/Vigs-toetsing en bewusmaking oor die problemevan verslawing aan drank en dwelms, metfisieseengeestelikeberading,watookuitge-
brei kan word na omliggende plase.Daar word beoog om meer geestelike toe-
rustingsgeleenthede en samekomste vir diekinders, jeug en ouergemeenskap te hou.
