ie ou Jan S. Marais-hospitaal in Bell-
ville gaan gekoop word om voorsie-
ning te maak vir n lesing- en oplei-
dingslokaal vir sowat 2 500 studente en per-
soneel. Di gebou is eenvan tweewat gekoop
gaan word om die gebrek aan voldoende
huisvesting vir die sowat 100 000 studente by
die vyf groot tersire instellings in Bellville
en Parow aan te spreek.
S s Chris OConnor, uitvoerende hoof
van Die Groter Tygerberg-vennootskap
(DGTV), oor die gebrek aan huisvesting wat
studente hier ondervind.
Private beleggers het reeds aangedui dat
hulle bestaande geboue wil aankoop vir her-
ontwikkeling of dat hulle hul eie geboue sal
herontwikkel as oplossing vir die probleem.
Onderhandelinge is reeds aan die gang
om n bestaande gebou in Kruskallaan vir
studente-akkommodasie aan te koop, het
hy ges.
Nie n eenmanvertoning
Volgens hom is dit nie n eenmanverto-
ning nie en word vennootskappe met ver-
skeie rolspelers gesluit om die huisnood aan
te spreek. Daar is ander beleggers wat ont-
wikkelingsplanne vir Bellville en Parow het
en die proses vir die ontwikkeling is reeds
aan die gang.
Ons as DGTV is altyd in gesprekmet ont-
wikkelaars en beleggers wat hier wil ont-
wikkel, veral om bekostigbare huisvesting
te verskaf.
Samesprekings word gehou deur inlig-
tingsessies of ons plaas advertensies sodat
bestaande envoornemendebeleggers enont-
wikkelaars ophoogte gehouwordvandie be-
hoefte aan huisvesting in die Voortrekker-
weg-korridor. DieVoortrekkerweg-korridor
strek vanaf die Soutrivier-sirkel af met
Voortrekkerweg tot by die Stikland-brug
aan die buitewyke van Bellville, s hy.
n Goeie werksverhouding heers met alle
belanghebbendes, want almal is bewus van
die tekort aan akkommodasie vir studente.
Volgens homontwikkelDGTVnie self nie,
maar verskaf inligting aan beleggers of ont-
wikkelaars oor die behoefte en tree as fasili-
teerder op.
Sal slegs leiding gee
Op n vraag wie die woonplekke sal kan
koop of huur, het hy ges alles hang af van
die soort mark waarop die ontwikkeling ge-
skoei is. Die DGTV sal slegs leiding gee,
maar sal aanbeveel dat voorsiening gemaak
word vir almal uit die verskillende inkom-
stegroepe om soveel as moontlik studente te
kan huisves.
Die DGTV sal graag wil sien dat die ga-
ping in die huismark aangespreek word.
Voorsiening sal beslis gemaak moet
word dat almal gehelp kan word. Studente
kom uit verskillende inkomstegroepe en
ontwikkelaars kan nie net vir lae-inkomste-
groepe voorsieningmaak nie. Die ontwikke-
ling moet voorsiening maak vir alle inkom-
stegroepe. Indien daar net vir lae-inkomste-
groepe voorsiening gemaak word, sal dit
ekonomiese en sosiale groei in sulke gebiede
bemoeilik, het hy ges.

VERVOLG VAN BLADSY 1
Die belanghebbendes sluit onder meer in
die Stad Kaapstad, plaaslike gemeenskap-
pe, provinsiale regering, plaaslike onderne-
mings, grondeienaars, die tersire instel-
lings, private beleggers/eienaars en die
VRCID.
Volgens OConnor fokus DGTV net op die
noordelike voorstede van Kaapstad. Dit
sluit in Bellville, Goodwood, Elsiesrivier,
Khayelitsha, Maitland, Parow en Vasco.
Die vyf omliggende nywerheidsgebiede is
ook deel daarvan en dit sluit in Elsiesrivier,
Ndabeni, Parow, Sacks-sirkel en die Stik-
land-driehoek.
Hierdie areas het voorheen onder die ju-
risdiksie van die Tygerberg-munisipaliteit
geval. Die gebied het gestrek vanaf die Ty-
gerberg enDurbanville-heuwels en sywyn-
vallei tot by Khayelitsha in die suide.
Tanswoondie studente by familie, vrien-
de of losiesouers buite Bellville en Parow
en moet lang afstande met openbare ver-
voer na en van die kampusse afgel word.
Met die beoogde ontwikkeling van die ge-
bou inKruskallaan en die hospitaal, sal die
ry-afstande verminder word.
Chris OConnor is die uitvoerende hoof van die
Groter Tygerbergvennootskap.
VERVOLG VAN BLADSY 1
DiePieters-gesinhet ookgoeiekompos ge-
bruik om die grond voor te berei om ge-
boorte te gee aan di reuse-patat.
Daar is opdaardiedag npaar grotesuit-
gehaal, wat moontlik kan beteken dat de
knol miskien deel was van n gewas wat
rekords sou slaan.
Omdat die soetpatat egter verwyder
was van die res van die plant, is dit nou
sinloos om Guinness te kontak.
Daar was juis geen terugvoering van
Guinness af teen druktyd nie nadat Ty-
gerBurger vir hulle n navraag per e-pos
gestuur het.
Die storie van Andr se soetpatat sal
nietemin nog jare onthou word in die ge-
sin.
My pa was besig om brandpaaie op die
plaas te maak toe hy die soetpatat uitge-
haal het.
Hyhet dadelik gebel en ges ons sal nie
glowathynouhieruitgehaal hetnie! Kyk
hierdie massiewe ding!, het hy ges, lag
Andr.
Andr sr. het dadelik na n winkelsen-
trum inGansbaai gegaanomdie soetpatat
te weeg.
Sy seun voeg by dat dit van dag een sy
droomwas om hierdie soetpatat se foto in
die TygerBurger te plaas.
Noudat hy dit gedoen het, kan hy maar
begin eet daaraan. Miskien plaas Tyger-
Burger weer n berig oor n jaar om te s
Andr het dit uiteindelik opgeet.
Hy sluit af om te s dat hy nie een keer
RedBull oordie yslikedinggegooihet nie.
Estelle Kempen, n agronomie-dosent
by die Universiteit Stellenbosch, s die
soort kultivar wat jy gebruik kan ontaard
in ngroterwortel,maardie omstandighe-
de moet gunstig wees om iets so groot te
groei.
Sy voeg ook by dat jy 30 van dieselfde
kultivars kan plant en dan kan een nmu-
tasie ondergaan. Dt is wat met Andr se
soetpatat gebeur het.
Daar was n DNS-mutasie, wat gelei het
tot n uiterse rare gewas, s sy.

soek of duidelikheid te kry.

Moontlike selfdood op spoorlyn
BRENDEN RUITER
@ruitervaniewind
D
ie Goodwood-polisie ondersoek onder
meer n moontlike selfdood n n man
Maandag naby die Goodwood-trein-
stasie onthoof is.
Volgens die polisie was die trein om-
streeks 04:00 onderweg uit die stasie toe die
treindrywer iemand op die spoor sien l.
Die trein was so 60 meter uit die stasie
en kon nie betyds stilhou nie. Ons kan nie
die moontlikheid van selfdood uitsluit nie,
aangesien daar geen poging was deur die
oorledene om van die spoor weg te beweeg
toe die trein aankom nie. n Ander ding wat
ons moet ondersoek is of die oorledene nie
reeds dood was toe hy op die spoorlyn gel
het nie, s ao. Wayne Theunis, polisie-
woordvoerder.
Theunis s die oorledene se kop en bene
is deur die trein afgery.
In di stadium is hy nog nie gedentifi-
seer nie, maar dit lyk of dit n buitelander
kanwees. As iemandmeer inligting het wat
die polisie met die ondersoek kan help, sal
ons dit waardeer, s Theunis.
ZinoMihi,waarnemende kommunikasie-
bestuurder vir Metrorail, het die voorval
bevestig. Ons betreur die voorval, maar in
di stadium blyk dit nie of die trein vir die
oorledene se dood verantwoordelik is nie.
Dit wil vir ons lyk of die liggaam op die
spoor geplaas is om n moord te verdoesel.
Dit gebeur soms dat iemand elders ver-
moor word en die lyk op die spore geplaas
word om die polisie te mislei, s Mihi.
Mihi s hoewel dit blyk of die man reeds
dood was toe die trein oor hom gery het, sal
die drywer steeds berading ontvang.
Ons prosesse vereis dat die drywer bera-
ding ontvang, want iets soos dit kan nogal
n impak op n mens h. Hy sal ook vir n
tyd lank met verpligte verlof gaan om dit te
verwerk wat gebeur het. Intussen gaan ons
die polisie help om agter die kap van die byl
te kom, s Mihi. Sy het n beroep op pende-
laars gedoen om versigtig te wees wanneer
hulle by n stasie is.
Hierdie is n ander soort geval, maar ons
wil dit tog gebruik om pendelaars te waar-
sku oor die gevare van n trein. n Trein is
nie soos n motor wat skielik kan stop nie,
so mense moet nie oor spore loop nie. Dit
kan dalk gouer wees om aan die ander kant
uit te kom, maar dit kan ook beteken dat jy
nooit aan die ander kant uitkom nie, s sy.
Die lyk van n man is Maandag naby die Goodwoodstasie gevind. FOTO: CARINA ROUX

Die belanghebbendes sluit onder meer in
die Stad Kaapstad, plaaslike gemeenskap-
pe, provinsiale regering, plaaslike onderne-
mings, grondeienaars, die tersire instel-
lings, private beleggers/eienaars en die
VRCID.
Volgens OConnor fokus DGTV net op die
noordelike voorstede van Kaapstad. Dit
sluit in Bellville, Goodwood, Elsiesrivier,
Khayelitsha, Maitland, Parow en Vasco.
Die vyf omliggende nywerheidsgebiede is
ook deel daarvan en dit sluit in Elsiesrivier,
Ndabeni, Parow, Sacks-sirkel en die Stik-
land-driehoek.
Hierdie areas het voorheen onder die ju-
risdiksie van die Tygerberg-munisipaliteit
geval. Die gebied het gestrek vanaf die Ty-
gerberg enDurbanville-heuwels en sywyn-
vallei tot by Khayelitsha in die suide.
Tanswoondie studente by familie, vrien-
de of losiesouers buite Bellville en Parow
en moet lang afstande met openbare ver-
voer na en van die kampusse afgel word.
Met die beoogde ontwikkeling van die ge-
bou inKruskallaan en die hospitaal, sal die
ry-afstande verminder word.

Daar is opdaardiedag npaar grotesuit-

Omdat die soetpatat egter verwyder

sinloos om Guinness te kontak.
Daar was juis geen terugvoering van
Guinness af teen druktyd nie nadat Ty-

gestuur het.
Die storie van Andr se soetpatat sal
nietemin nog jare onthou word in die ge-
sin.
My pa was besig om brandpaaie op die
plaas te maak toe hy die soetpatat uitge-
haal het.
Hyhet dadelik gebel en ges ons sal nie

hierdie massiewe ding!, het hy ges, lag
Andr.
Andr sr. het dadelik na n winkelsen-

te weeg.
Sy seun voeg by dat dit van dag een sy
droomwas om hierdie soetpatat se foto in
die TygerBurger te plaas.
Noudat hy dit gedoen het, kan hy maar
begin eet daaraan. Miskien plaas Tyger-

Sy voeg ook by dat jy 30 van dieselfde

Moontlike selfdood op spoorlyn
BRENDEN RUITER
@ruitervaniewind
D
ie Goodwood-polisie ondersoek onder
meer n moontlike selfdood n n man
Maandag naby die Goodwood-trein-
stasie onthoof is.
Volgens die polisie was die trein om-
streeks 04:00 onderweg uit die stasie toe die
treindrywer iemand op die spoor sien l.
Die trein was so 60 meter uit die stasie
en kon nie betyds stilhou nie. Ons kan nie
die moontlikheid van selfdood uitsluit nie,
aangesien daar geen poging was deur die
oorledene om van die spoor weg te beweeg
toe die trein aankom nie. n Ander ding wat
ons moet ondersoek is of die oorledene nie
reeds dood was toe hy op die spoorlyn gel
het nie, s ao. Wayne Theunis, polisie-
woordvoerder.
Theunis s die oorledene se kop en bene
is deur die trein afgery.
In di stadium is hy nog nie gedentifi-
seer nie, maar dit lyk of dit n buitelander
kanwees. As iemandmeer inligting het wat
die polisie met die ondersoek kan help, sal
ons dit waardeer, s Theunis.
ZinoMihi,waarnemende kommunikasie-
bestuurder vir Metrorail, het die voorval
bevestig. Ons betreur die voorval, maar in
di stadium blyk dit nie of die trein vir die
oorledene se dood verantwoordelik is nie.
Dit wil vir ons lyk of die liggaam op die
spoor geplaas is om n moord te verdoesel.
Dit gebeur soms dat iemand elders ver-
moor word en die lyk op die spore geplaas
word om die polisie te mislei, s Mihi.
Mihi s hoewel dit blyk of die man reeds
dood was toe die trein oor hom gery het, sal
die drywer steeds berading ontvang.
Ons prosesse vereis dat die drywer bera-
ding ontvang, want iets soos dit kan nogal
n impak op n mens h. Hy sal ook vir n
tyd lank met verpligte verlof gaan om dit te
verwerk wat gebeur het. Intussen gaan ons
die polisie help om agter die kap van die byl
te kom, s Mihi. Sy het n beroep op pende-
laars gedoen om versigtig te wees wanneer
hulle by n stasie is.
Hierdie is n ander soort geval, maar ons
wil dit tog gebruik om pendelaars te waar-
sku oor die gevare van n trein. n Trein is
nie soos n motor wat skielik kan stop nie,
so mense moet nie oor spore loop nie. Dit
kan dalk gouer wees om aan die ander kant
uit te kom, maar dit kan ook beteken dat jy
nooit aan die ander kant uitkom nie, s sy.
Die lyk van n man is Maandag naby die Goodwoodstasie gevind. FOTO: CARINA ROUX

We are not all thieves
ANDR BAKKES
@andrebakkes
T
he simple act of putting your munici-
pal bin out on the street the morning
instead of the evening beforewas clear
to be seen in Edgemead last week.
According to the chairperson of the
Edgemead Neighbourhood Watch (ENW),
Mark Richards, their patrollers noticed a
huge decline in the droves of bin scratch-
ers they used to see from late afternoon on
the day before the refuse collection days.
Collection days are on a Tuesday and a
Wednesday.
Last week just five street people were no-
ticedwandering around the neighbourhood
during the night, where other weeks this
number fluctuated between 40 and 50.
It makes a considerable difference to
those patrolling our streets when we dont
have people aimlessly roaming around,
says Richards.
Bin scratchers have been a thorn in the
side of many neighbourhoods for years
now.
TygerBurger reported onwhat appears to
be a mass migration of vagrants from sub-
urb to suburb always in sync with refuse
collection trucks.
Their numbers inevitably started in-
creasing the day before collection because
of people leaving their bins out overnight.
The plight of bin scratchers invoke empa-
thy in all but a few.
Its a tough life, Richards explains.
This empathy, in a way, is part of the
problem. People with bleeding hearts try to
help the vagrants, which just invites more
into the suburb.
Sometimes they are asked to go to home-
less shelters, butmanyprefernot to because
there are too many rules.
Richards says ENWpatrollers often learn
the names of street people and would ask
themvery politely at night to leave the area.
We are never rude and never violent,
he emphasises.
According to him Law Enforcement can
only be involvedwhen someone is breaking
a bylaw, so the unwritten rule is that neigh-
bourhood watches urge vagrants to move
along.
The plight of bin scratchers dawns on one
after talking to them.
One of these people, who is only willing
to give his first name as Trevor, says he
scoursbins everyday for old soft drinkcans
and newspapers.
He puts all these items in bags and deliver
it to scrap yards and recycling plants.
I get 60 cents a kilo for the cans and 50
cents a kilo for newspapers, he says.
With this money he would buy himself a
peanut butter sandwich for R3.
Trevor says for the rest of the day he eats
whatever edible food he can find in the bins.
Richards says many of the bin scratchers
choose the life they lead, and Trevor agrees
that some do, but not him.
Some like it; not me. If I could choose I
would live in one of those houses, he says,
pointing towards modest looking flats on
the side of the road.
While he tries to make a living, others
are trying to make it harder for him.
Trevor concludes: We are not all
thieves.
This is the problem for Edgemead and
countless of other suburbs.
Some vagrants are unfortunately thieves,
and they often hide under the banner of bin
scratchers.
Says Richards: One day I arrived at the
scene of an attempted burglary. The perpe-
trators were trying to lift a gate to gain en-
try to a property.
The domestic worker told me she recog-
nised them. Apparently they were hanging
out with bin scratchers. We are not saying
they were bin scratchers, but that these
guys unwittingly provide the perfect cover
for them.
ENW will continue to spread pamphlets
into the suburb to remind people to only put
their bins out on collection days.
To all those who have heeded the watchs
continued efforts to reduce the number of
vagrants, Richards says: On behalf of the
ENW I would like to say a big thank you to
those residents who are making the effort
for the greater good of our little village.

Officers of the Parow Crime Prevention
Unit practised their wall climbing skills
last week on Friday afternoon when they
pursued two burglars from one property
to the next.
The 18 and 22-year-old suspects met
their match, however, when a police van
cut one of them off in the road and gave
their pursuers just enough time to make
two arrests.
At least ourmale and female members
are also young, laughs local police
spokesperson Captain Kevin Williams.
According to him the chase happened
over an obstacle laden kilometre.
The members were searching a house
in 40 Parow Street when they received a
tip-off relating to a housebreak-in in
progress in Hoskins Street, he elabo-
rates.
At the premises they looked over the
wall and spotted two males, who in turn
saw the police and fled the scene.
By that time the suspects already stole
22 five-shilling coins, an Ericsson cell-
phone, 12 items of custom-made jewellery
and a gold watch.
The suspects fled in two directions, so
the members split up. One group went to
the van and the other started climbing
walls.
All the stolen items were found on the
suspects, who are both from Nyanga.
We wish to extend an appreciation to
the community members who supplied
the information that led to the arrest of
both suspects, who were arrested for
housebreakingand theft, concludesWill-
iams.
Officers fitter, more agile than burglars
The majority of bin scratchers are simply trying to make a living, but they provide the perfect
cover for criminals. This leaves organisations such as Edgemead Neighbourhood Watch no
option but to implore residents not to leave their refuse bins out overnight. PHOTO: ANDR BAKKES

POSSIBLE DISRUPTIONOFWATER SUPPLY:
PAROWVALLEY AND BEACONVALE
INDUSTRIA
Monday 20 June 2016
The City of Cape Towns Water and Sanitation Department need to urgently replace a 300mm
diameter control valve on the water supply feeding the Parow Valley and Beaconvale Industria
areas on Monday 20 June 2016.
This will result in the possible disruption of the water supply to these areas from 22:00 until
05:00 the following morning.
The work has been planned carefully to ensure minimal disruption of the water supply in the
affected areas.
For maintenance and upgrading, the water supply network across the city is divided into
reticulation zones, which are smaller and much more manageable sections of the large
network. This work forms part of the Citys Water Demand Management Plan and will
significantly reduce the occurrence of pipe bursts and subsequent water losses.
Please store water in clean sealed containers for domestic use during this period.
The City regrets any inconvenience caused.

T
he Fisantekraal Centre for Develop-
ment (FCD) near the Durbanville taxi
rank is not only about economic
empowerment, but also about equipping
unemployed people for a meaningful life.
Jane Gelderman, director of FCD, elabo-
rates: We equip our students with the nec-
essary skills that will help them to become
economically active, as well as developing
emotional, social and spiritual skills.
The centre has been running courses to
support and guide the unemployed and
semi-employed for a number of years now.
The aim of the courses is to restore dig-
nity and improve self-esteem and self-confi-
dence to those who have lost hope in ever
finding employment, says Gelderman.
All students have to complete the job
readiness course before they can move on
to any of the other courses. This course pre-
pares learners for the world of work by
teaching life skills, basic computer skills
and a customer service orientation.
As a Christian based non-profitable orga-
nisation, the students are also encouraged
to participate in spiritual development ses-
sions run by local pastors from five Dur-
banville churches.
Imelda Cleaphas, who recently complet-
ed the course, says the sessions on life skills
and spiritual development taught me I am
a work in progress.
I realised that I need to bemore thought-
ful when I deal with people, but that I am
quite good at resolving conflict, she says.
Another student, Ziyanda Kwinana,
says: When I started the course I was shy
and unsure of myself, but now I have more
confidence and know how to communicate
with people.
Once students have completed the job
readiness course, they have the option to go
on retail training programmes at a variety
of businesses. They can also move on to the
frail care or office basics programmes,
Gelderman explains. Upon successful com-
pletion of these work-ready courses, FCD
offers support in placing their students,
where possible.
There are many unemployed people
running small businesses from home. Our
courses will help them to grow their busi-
nesses and to make sure that they run as
profitably as possible, she says.
Our bake-for-profit course is very popu-
lar, she says.
This nine-week course consists of two
days of trainingperweek Wednesdays for
business skills theory and Thursdays for
baking practicals.
FCD will also be offering another entre-
preneurial programme a business skills
course to help inexperienced business
owners succeed in their businesses.
The modules will cover business plan-
ning, costing and pricing aswell asmarket-
ing. This course will also be running on
Wednesdays and Thursdays from 08:00 to
16:00.
To attend this course, candidates should
have Grade 10 and have been operating an
informal business for a period of at least
three months.
There are several ways inwhich the com-
munity can get involved with this initia-
tive, continues Gelderman.
People can identify individuals with tal-
ent and potential from vulnerable commu-
nities and introduce them to the services of-
fered by the centre.
They can also become job shadow or job
placement partners for the graduates of the
courses, or offer their time, services or fi-
nances to ensure the continuity of this com-
munity initiative, she says.
V Courses run throughout the year and interested
students, sponsors or donors can contact FCD on

Unique opportunity to find old die-cast toy
T
he Fisantekraal Centre for Develop-
ment (FCD) near the Durbanville taxi
rank is not only about economic
empowerment, but also about equipping
unemployed people for a meaningful life.
Jane Gelderman, director of FCD, elabo-
rates: We equip our students with the nec-
essary skills that will help them to become
economically active, as well as developing
emotional, social and spiritual skills.
The centre has been running courses to
support and guide the unemployed and
semi-employed for a number of years now.
The aim of the courses is to restore dig-
nity and improve self-esteem and self-confi-
dence to those who have lost hope in ever
finding employment, says Gelderman.
All students have to complete the job
readiness course before they can move on
to any of the other courses. This course pre-
pares learners for the world of work by
teaching life skills, basic computer skills
and a customer service orientation.
As a Christian based non-profitable orga-
nisation, the students are also encouraged
to participate in spiritual development ses-
sions run by local pastors from five Dur-
banville churches.
Imelda Cleaphas, who recently complet-
ed the course, says the sessions on life skills
and spiritual development taught me I am
a work in progress.
I realised that I need to bemore thought-
ful when I deal with people, but that I am
quite good at resolving conflict, she says.
Another student, Ziyanda Kwinana,
says: When I started the course I was shy
and unsure of myself, but now I have more
confidence and know how to communicate
with people.
Once students have completed the job
readiness course, they have the option to go
on retail training programmes at a variety
of businesses. They can also move on to the
frail care or office basics programmes,
Gelderman explains. Upon successful com-
pletion of these work-ready courses, FCD
offers support in placing their students,
where possible.
There are many unemployed people
running small businesses from home. Our
courses will help them to grow their busi-
nesses and to make sure that they run as
profitably as possible, she says.
Our bake-for-profit course is very popu-
lar, she says.
This nine-week course consists of two
days of trainingperweek Wednesdays for
business skills theory and Thursdays for
baking practicals.
FCD will also be offering another entre-
preneurial programme a business skills
course to help inexperienced business
owners succeed in their businesses.
The modules will cover business plan-
ning, costing and pricing aswell asmarket-
ing. This course will also be running on
Wednesdays and Thursdays from 08:00 to
16:00.
To attend this course, candidates should
have Grade 10 and have been operating an
informal business for a period of at least
three months.
There are several ways inwhich the com-
munity can get involved with this initia-
tive, continues Gelderman.
People can identify individuals with tal-
ent and potential from vulnerable commu-
nities and introduce them to the services of-
fered by the centre.
They can also become job shadow or job
placement partners for the graduates of the
courses, or offer their time, services or fi-
nances to ensure the continuity of this com-
munity initiative, she says.
V Courses run throughout the year and interested
students, sponsors or donors can contact FCD on
021 975 7764 or visit www.fisantekraal .org.za.

A
Grade 3 pupil of Kenridge Primary
School was almost kidnapped this
past Fridaywhile shewaswaiting for
her mother to fetch her from school.
This cameamidst several hoax reports on
social media of attempted child kidnap-
pings at various schools around the Boland
and northern suburbs recently.
In one of these hoax reports a Toyota
Quantum minibus was reported as suspi-
cious, but turned out to be agents of Ozone
Aqua selling their products.
But this time, it really happened.
According to the principal, Sandy Smith,
the child was standing near the Koos Ek-
steen hockey field at the stop street on the
corner ofVanRiebeeckAvenue andRhodes
Street at about 13:15.
A white kombi-type vehicle with a man
and awoman inside stopped next to the girl
and they told her that hermother had asked
them to fetch her from school.
The girl turned around and ran back into
the school grounds, Smith said. Themother
came to fetch her child and they reported
the incident to thepolice and theCNiarmed
response, but did not lay a charge.
Captain Marchell Rhode, media spokes-
person of theDurbanville police, confirmed
the incidentwas reported to the head of sec-
tor 3 of the Durbanville police.
However, he said that it was reported to
the police that the vehicle in question was
a white bakkie.
According to Rhode the sector head said
they have been doing regular patrols at the
school since the incident.
Weve put out a message to our parents
to collect their children on time after
school. We have also instructed our chil-
dren to wait for their parents inside the
school grounds and have teachers standing
in our car park at home time to ensure the
learners safety, said Smith.
CNi armed response is also patrolling the
entrances to the school at both sides when
the school comes out in Tygervalley Road
and Van Riebeeck Road, says Stephen
Swartz,managerof the responseunit ofCNi
armed response. According to him they are
also on the lookout for suspicious vehicles
or people in the vicinity of the school.
In another real incident two girls also es-
caped kidnapping at the Rusthof Primary
School in Strand last Wednesday.
Deputy principal Ikraam Wentzel con-
firmed the ten-year-old Grade 5 girls were
approached by an elderly womanwith long
blonde hair, dressed in black, and a man in
a blue bakkie.
The woman tried to force the girls into
the bakkie, but they managed to break free
and ran back into the school grounds.
This came amidst several alleged false re-
ports of attempts to snatch children or peo-
ple taking photographs of children at
schools and elsewhere.
The rumours of children being targeted
at schools in the northern suburbs as well
as in Franschhoek, Strand, Somerset West
and Paarl started making the rounds a few
months ago in social media like WhatsApp
and Facebook.
A photograph of a Toyota Quantummini-
bus was distributed on social media as one
of the suspect vehicles of a kidnapping syn-
dicate.
However, it turned out to be false.
Durbanville police warned that people
must make sure of their facts before they
post or distribute alerts on social media.

A group of young Capetonians is encourag-
ing South Africans to get involved with local
government through their #SwingYourVote
campaign.
The youth leaders, working under the Ed-
ucoafrica banner, hail fromLanga, Kraaifon-
tein, Delft, Khayelitsha and Hanover Park,
and hope to inspire young people to build re-
lationships with local government through
accountability and active citizenship.
In the past seven months a diverse group
of youth from different areas of Cape Town
has been undergoing a course on public gov-
ernance, explains the groups AneleWondo.
The programme is called Making Local
Government Work (MLGW) and looks at bet-
ter ways of engaging with our local govern-
ment for the betterment of service delivery
and holding them accountable for their ac-
tions. Anele explains that their hashtag,
which they are hoping will be shared on so-
cial media platforms, will not only challenge
citizens to vote but also be involved in the
process and structures of democracy by
claiming spaces they occupy and not just
complain and burn tyres and facilities.
The campaign also aims to engage young
people in conversation about their concerns
or the issues they might face.
Anele invites young Capetonians to photo-
graph themselves with a #SwingYourVote
poster and upload it to their socialmedia pro-
files or their SwingYourVote Campaign
Facebookpage tohelp themspread theirmes-
sage of civic awareness and start a dialogue.

B
eing a drug addict has been likened to
wearing a mask.
At first you find the seemingly self-
confident person looking back at you in the
mirror intriguing, but before too long you
cannot even recall the real you.
You become themask, and without it you
feel incomplete.
Every now and again a drug addict will
experience a moment of clarity and yearn
to be free.
But this is the exception rather than the
rule.
According to Ramots manager, Lettie
Visser, the vast majority of patients who
walk through their doors are there because
of someone else.
More often than not a loved one or an
employer demands that the patient comes
for treatment. It is rare that patients realise
themselves that their addiction actually
hurts those closest to them the most.
With Drug AwarenessWeek from 24 to 28
June just around the corner, TygerBurger
spoke to one of the rehabilitation centres
operating in the northern suburbs.
Ramot Treatment Centre for Substance
Dependence in Parow was established in
1964 by theDutchReformedChurchandhas
since guided thousands of addicts from all
over South Africa to a full recovery.
By far the two most common addictions
they treat are alcohol and tik dependence.
Every week on a Tuesday and Thursday
people from all walks of life are admitted
and subjected to an intense and profession-
ally managed rehabilitation programme,
consisting of one week of detox and four
weeks of structured in-patient pro-
grammes.
Some try to escape, some try to coerce a
friend into smuggling drugs onto the prem-
ises and others try to fill the void with over-
eating.
Ultimately, all of the patientswill be com-
pletely drug-free by the time they are dis-
charged.
At Ramot, once patients are out of detox,
theydont just lie in bed.Wehavemanypro-
grammes designed to assist them in their
recovery.We provide structure, a good diet,
a creativeworkshop and a gym, to namebut
a few benefits, says Visser.
She continues: We are rather unique in
the fact that we dont have former addicts
on the payroll, but rather professional,
qualified and registered staff. We do, how-
ever, make use of ex-addict volunteers. Be-
sides ourmedical staff we rely on the thera-
peutic services of a psychologist, a biokinet-
icist, social workers, a teacher and a
spiritual counsellor.
The enormous drug problem facing the
Western Cape receives plenty of coverage,
but according toVisser some of the drug ad-
dictions are underplayed.
We see the ugly side of dagga addiction.
It blocks the normal cognitive and emotion-
al development of adolescents.We have had
patients here in their thirties with themen-
tal and emotional capacity of teenagers.
Their sense of responsibility is so far re-
moved from reality that it seems almost a
lost cause. Somemay even become psychot-
ic with regular use, she elaborates.
As with all organisations of Ramots ilk,
sufficient funds will always be an issue.

eing a drug addict has been likened to
wearing a mask.
At first you find the seemingly self-
confident person looking back at you in the
mirror intriguing, but before too long you
cannot even recall the real you.
You become themask, and without it you
feel incomplete.
Every now and again a drug addict will
experience a moment of clarity and yearn
to be free.
But this is the exception rather than the
rule.
According to Ramots manager, Lettie
Visser, the vast majority of patients who

Every week on a Tuesday and Thursday
people from all walks of life are admitted
and subjected to an intense and profession-

consisting of one week of detox and four
weeks of structured in-patient pro-
grammes.
Some try to escape, some try to coerce a
friend into smuggling drugs onto the prem-
ises and others try to fill the void with over-
eating.
Ultimately, all of the patientswill be com-
pletely drug-free by the time they are dis-
charged.
At Ramot, once patients are out of detox,
theydont just lie in bed.Wehavemanypro-
grammes designed to assist them in their
recovery.We provide structure, a good diet,
a creativeworkshop and a gym, to namebut
a few benefits, says Visser.
She continues: We are rather unique in
the fact that we dont have former addicts
on the payroll, but rather p
