How to help robbery victimsAre youwondering how to help a houserobbery victim who is struggling tocope emotionally or are you having dif-ficulty understanding the change intheir emotions?Henning Jacobs, trauma support coordi-
nator at ER24, said the best thing to do isbe there as a means of support and helpwith their needs as best you can.“House robbery is by far the most com-
mon traumatic incident people face inSouth Africa, especially in Gauteng. As atrauma counselling team, about 50% of thecalls we attend to each month are houserobberies.”Explaining the emotions victims of a
house robbery experience, Jacobs said:“They feel violated. A home is a placewhere you should feel safe. People whohave been robbedwhile in their homes feeltheir personal space has been invaded.“The trauma usually hits people the
hardest the next day. People usually onlythen start to realise what really happenedand what could have happened.“Feelings then come in phases of anger,
fear, frustration, hopelessness and irrita-tion. People are unique and can experiencethese emotions in different forms and pha-ses. Feelings need to be dealt with.”When counsellors arrive on scene, vic-
tims are debriefed and they help the vic-tims organise their immediate situationand put measures in place to help themcope.“People are usually not counselled on
scene due to thembeing in such shock. Vic-timson scenehavenot really come to termswith what has happened yet.“They are grateful for any help they re-
ceive. They are almost totally dependenton others to help them at the time. In theo-ry, people have to be counselled 72 hoursafter a house robbery.”Counsellors are then able to assess the
extent of the trauma experienced by thevictim to help them appropriately.
He added that victims of house robberiesnever forget the incident.However, with coping skills, they learn
how to deal with their emotions and it be-comes easier as time goes by.After any kind of trauma, people go into
shock and this causes difficulty sleepingand concentrating for at least a week afterthe incident. Their mood can also change.“Some people want to be alone after a
house robbery while others do not. It de-pends on the person’s personality.“People also becomeparanoid. Theyusu-
ally immediately upgrade their security.Victims start hearing noises at night andmake suremultiple times that all the doorsand gates are locked.”“They also usually blame themselves
and believe they should have done some-thing to prevent the incident.“We work hard to make sure people do
not blame themselves. It is not their fault.They need to understand that a robbery isthe robber’s choice and not theirs.“Family life is affected due to the emo-
tions victims experience. You might findthat family members fight with each otherdue to the shock. Itmay however also drawfamily members closer. They start to ap-preciate each other more. After a fewmonths family lifeusuallygoesback tonor-mal”What to do during a house robberyJacobs said a victim of a house robbery
shouldcomplywithwhat the robberswant.“Robberswant to takegoods frompeople.
Most of the time, if people comply withwhat the robbers want, nobody gets hurt.If a victim fights back, they are usually ei-ther shot, stabbed or badly beaten.The best and only way to keep you and
your family safe is to comply with whattheywant.Victims should remember thesepeople arearmedand theywill shoot if theyhave to,” he said.Phone ER24 on 084 124 for trauma coun-
selling.

Competence and characterare equally importantDavid Malherbe
Any business owner would like to achievethe best possible results in his orher business. Therefore it can beunderstood that business owners,when recruiting staff, will be onthe lookout for themost competentpeople to employ. The better thequality of work employees can de-liver, the better for the company.Unfortunately we often place all
the emphasis on competence only,without considering a prospectiveemployee’s character. Employeesmay be very good in executingtheir jobs, but if they lack goodcharacter, forinstancetheyarestealingorarefrequently absent, it can be to the detrimentof the organisation.Competence and character are like the two
wheels of a bicycle. They are equally impor-tant and the same attention should be givento character and to competence. Employeesare often appointed for competence and laterneed to be let go because of character-relatedfailures. Competent employees with poorcharacter qualities make for an organisationthat resembles a penny farthing bicycle withone big wheel and one small one.Character refers to the qualities built into
an individual’s life that determine his or herresponse,regardlessofcircumstances.There-
fore, good character basically means “doingthe right thing when nobody is looking.”Lack of character in an organisation is evi-
denced by negligence, low produc-tivity, quality problems, workershaving their own agendas, etc. Ifsuch problems have a negative in-fluence in your company it is nec-essary to implement a strategy todevelop good character.First it is necessary to not only
emphasise performance output,but also values and character qual-ities that will be acceptable in thecompany. Trainmanagers and em-ployees to establish a culture ofgood character.
Secondly, enforce principle-based policiesto establish an organisational culture that isbuiltongoodcharacter.Promote theseprinci-ples through every communication with em-ployees andmakegood character an essentialduring the hiring process.And finally, give recognition for good char-
acter and not only for reaching performancetargets. Only a couple of employees usuallyreceive recognition for delivering outstand-ingoutput,butmostof themcanberecognisedfor some good character qualities e.g. alert-ness, loyalty, punctuality, etc. (Source: Char-acter First)

THINGS THAT REALLYMATTERIN THEWINELANDS
MAKING
HAPPEN
As a bank for all, including small, medium and large enterprises,Nedbank understands that its role as a banking institution goesbeyond just banking. As such, the bank’s culture promotes theethos of sustainability, community development, economic growth,transformation and building a vibrant society – all of which arevital pillars to social cohesion.
This means working with various stakeholders to makethe things that really matter happen for local business andcommunities, ensuring that the bank continues to play ameaningful role in society; one that would impact all provincesincluding the Winelands.
‘Community development is a catalyst for the empowerment ofcommunities and industries to create an enabling environmentfor all stakeholders to collaborate for the greater good ofeveryone, both socially and economically. This forms part ofthe bank’s Deep Green aspirations, to be highly involved in thecommunities we serve and doing our fair share as a responsiblecorporate citizen,’ notes Philip Wessels: Group ManagingExecutive of Retail and Business Banking at Nedbank.
It is against this backdrop that Nedbank continues to channel itsresources in the support issues of national importance such as:education; health; sports; job creation; skills development; artsand culture; children’s welfare and the environment.
Notably, the bank’s Early Childhood Development (ECD) andTeacher Training Programmes are aimed at assisting under-resourced ECD centres to better equip children across thenation for school-readiness. This saw 25 practitioners and 500pre-schoolers at Bhabhathane in Franschhoek, receiving a fullyequipped Edutainer (repurposed container) training centre,toy library and aftercare facility.
In addition, Nedbank sponsors the SciMathUS intensive year-long programme at Stellenbosch University, which seeks tobridge the gap for talented Grade 12 students from disadvantagedbackgrounds to enable them to obtain their university exemption.
To empower young people in the Boland district who wish topursue their careers in winemaking, tourism and hospitality, thebank offers skills training in partnership with the Pinotage YouthDevelopment Academy (PYDA) and Department of Viticultureand Oenology (DVO) in Stellenbosch. This is an extension ofthe Nedbank Cape Winemakers Guild Trust, which launched the3-year Protégé Programme in 2006, with the aim of empoweringtalented young winemakers to reach master status. As itstands, the bursary programme works to the benefit of three(3) Western Cape and one (1) Gauteng Elsenburg AgriculturalCollege students.
In keepingwith its continued support for business, Nedbank hostsvarious initiatives and its flagship seminars that offer mentorship,practical advice, networking opportunities and financial advisoryservices free of charge across the Western Cape and nationally.These include the Chamber of Commerce Seminars which offerbusinesses an opportunity to present their product and serviceofferings to potential clients from within and outside the district.
This is evidenced by the successes realised by DiPAR Systems,a local fruit producer that clinched a 3-year export deal andsubsequently managed to purchase its own business premisesfinanced by Nedbank.
While ensuring a successful education system for all and avibrant, inclusive marketplace may at times seem difficult tomake happen, Nedbank’s motto of delivering personal servicethat meets client needs, makes the journey and the things thatreally matter happen.

Husband and wife duo win CapeTown Cycle Tour MTB ChallengeThey punched the air, bumped fists andgrinned – sometimes all at the same time– as they completed their ride and collect-ed their medals on Sunday 2 March bring-ing the Cape Town Cycle Tour’s weekendof mountain biking to an end.
About 3 500 cyclists competed in the CapeTown Cycle Tour MTB Challenge at Le Bon-heur Wine Estate in Stellenbosch, whichwere held over two days.Cyclists riding the 38 km and 55 km routes
were treated to a feast of breathtakingscenery in the Greater Simonsberg Conserv-ancy in Stellenbosch as they carved up singletrack and devoured gnarly descents.“Itwashot and sandy,” saidCraigMcKune.
“No, itwas sandy andhot,” argued Steve Pikein the chill zone. They were both right.Riders battled soft sand and temperatures
approaching 30°C.They also had to contend with sharp, steep
climbs and wind, but were rewarded withmagnificent views, shady and fast foresttrails and someof the country’s finest conges-tion-free single track.The riders agreed that the MTB challenge,
which is in its 14thyear, getsbetter eachyear.A day earlier, Herman Lazarus celebrated
a personal achievement after completing the22 km mountain bike ride.In 2014 Lazarus was approaching mid-life
as an unfit smoker. He decided to embark ona mission to become healthy.His first step was to stop smoking, which
he did successfully. And then, with the helpof his companyLiebenLogistics, which spon-sored kit and bikes to their employees thisyear, he started cycling. He completed the22 km on Saturday with colleagues ridingalongside him in support.The long MTB Challenge routes, which
were designed and built by route coordina-tor,MeurantBotha ofDirtopia, saw the intro-duction of new scenic and shady areas for rid-ers, as well as an increased amount of singletrack – the most in the history of the event.“Feedback about the route has been posi-
tive – the top riders described it as a crosscountry route with lots of variety,” saidBotha, who started building the trail in No-vember.“We’ve had 24 guys on the go for the last
two months, cutting the route by hand.”Botha’s plan is, with the help of the local
farmers in the Greater Simonsberg Conserv-ancy, to make the mountain a mountain bik-ing mecca.Meanwhile, Erik and Ariane Kleinhans
showedwhy they are amountain bikingmar-riagemachine.Thecouple,whoride forTeamRECM,won the 55 kmrace in their respectivecategories.The line-up included top localpro-fessional riders and multiple World Champi-on andOlympicmedallist, Christoph Sauser.Team EAI’s Johann Rabie took second placewhile Team RECM’s Nico Bell secured the fi-nal podium spot.Winning in a record time of 02:12:54, Erik
was thrilled, saying his victory was evensweeter because Ariane had also won. He de-scribed the race as aggressive. “We (Erik andRabie) were leading from the beginning withbig guys chasing us, but we managed to stay
away for a long time.“Towards the end I got a small gap at the
last single track section which helped me tocome out in front. I’m super happy to takethe victory today.”Conquering over 1 350m of climbing, the
women’s event was a tough race betweenTeamRECMSwiss rider,ArianeandSwedishnational champion, Jennie Stenerhag (TeamAscendis).With nearly fiveminutes to spare,Ariane came out on top, finishing in 02:32:28.Team Velocity Sports Lab’s Carmen Bu-chacher from Austria took third place.Edward Boshoff was crowned the winner
of the 38 kmevent, followed byDanie le Roux,and Johann Trotzky in third.AllisonMorton took first place in the ladies
38 km category, while Amy Burton finishedin a close second, followed by Marie Heatlie.
