Die Laerskool Brackenfell het teen Mei reeds volle kapasiteit bereik vir graad 1-leerders vir 2017, met geen ander open- bare skole as opsies vir desperate ouers nie. Een so ouer wie se identiteit deur Ty- gerBurger beskerm word, sê haar kind is nou op talle waglyste by skole in Bracken- fell en naburige voorstede. Sy verwys na haarself en talle ander ou- ers wat sy ken. “Die meeste van ons het al ons aansoek- vorms vir die kinders in Januarie van- jaar ingegee, maar die Laerskool Brac- kenfell het my eers verlede Maandag, die eerste keer in vier maande, gekontak om my in te lig daar is nie plek vir my dogter vir volgende jaar nie,” sê sy. Terselfdertyd, sê dié ouer, het baie an- der kinders uit naburige woonbuurte soos Durbanville en Kraaifontein wel plek in die skool gekry. “Ek verstaan dit nie. Ons woon dan in dieselfde straat as die skool en hulle aan- vaar ons nie. Waarheen moet ons nou gaan?” Sy het met geen ander keuse nie by nege ander laerskole in Bellville, Kuilsrivier, Durbanville en Proteahoogte aangeklop. Almal het egter dieselfde antwoord ge- gee: “Jammer, daar is geen plek vir nog graad 1-kinders nie. Ons sit jou op die waglys, maar kan vir jou absoluut niks anders doen nie. “Wat nou? Wat doen ons met ons kin- ders as nie een enkele skool plek het nie?” vra sy. Ná talle pogings om antwoorde by die departement van onderwys in die Wes- Kaap te kry, wag sy steeds op terugvoe- ring. “Ek het reeds drie keer gebel en ’n hele paar e-posse gestuur, maar niemand praat met my nie. Almal bou huise, maar niemand bou skole nie.” Ook TygerBurger kon nie veel meer be- duidende antwoorde by die departement kry nie. Millicent Merton, woordvoerder by die departement, het vandeesweek bevestig dat die Laerskool Brackenfell wel vol is. “Hoewel die departement van onder- wys in die Wes-Kaap ’n verpligting het om alle ouers by te staan om hul kinders in ’n skool te plaas, beteken dit nie dat ons ’n plek in die skool van jou keuse kan waarborg nie, al is dit die naaste skool aan jou,” sê sy.

    Krisis vir

    plek in

    laerskole

    DESIRE RORKE

    @dezzierorke

    D

    ie dreigende tekort aan laerskole in

    Brackenfell sedert 2011 het vanjaar

    n kommerwekkende werklikheid

    geword vir baie ouers, en dit terwyl die

    departement van onderwys in die Wes-

    Kaap blykbaar min antwoorde het.

    Die Laerskool Brackenfell het teenMei

    reeds volle kapasiteit bereik vir graad

    1-leerders vir 2017, met geen ander open-

    bare skole as opsies vir desperate ouers

    nie.

    Een so ouer wie se identiteit deur Ty-

    gerBurger beskerm word, s haar kind is

    nouop tallewaglyste by skole inBracken-

    fell en naburige voorstede.

    Sy verwysnahaarself en talle ander ou-

    ers wat sy ken.

    Diemeeste van ons het al ons aansoek-

    vorms vir die kinders in Januarie van-

    jaar ingegee, maar die Laerskool Brac-

    kenfell het my eers verlede Maandag, die

    eerste keer in vier maande, gekontak om

    my in te lig daar is nie plek vir my dogter

    vir volgende jaar nie, s sy.

    Terselfdertyd, s di ouer, het baie an-

    der kinders uit naburige woonbuurte

    soos Durbanville en Kraaifontein wel

    plek in die skool gekry.

    Ek verstaan dit nie. Ons woon dan in

    dieselfde straat as die skool en hulle aan-

    vaar ons nie. Waarheen moet ons nou

    gaan?

    Syhetmet geenanderkeuseniebynege

    ander laerskole in Bellville, Kuilsrivier,

    Durbanville en Proteahoogte aangeklop.

    Almal het egter dieselfde antwoord ge-

    gee: Jammer, daar is geen plek vir nog

    graad 1-kinders nie. Ons sit jou op die

    waglys, maar kan vir jou absoluut niks

    anders doen nie.

    Wat nou? Wat doen ons met ons kin-

    ders as nie een enkele skool plek het nie?

    vra sy.

    N talle pogings om antwoorde by die

    departement van onderwys in die Wes-

    Kaap te kry, wag sy steeds op terugvoe-

    ring.

    Ek het reeds drie keer gebel en n hele

    paar e-posse gestuur, maar niemand

    praat met my nie. Almal bou huise, maar

    niemand bou skole nie.

    OokTygerBurger kon nie veel meer be-

    duidende antwoorde by die departement

    kry nie.

    Millicent Merton, woordvoerder by die

    departement, het vandeesweek bevestig

    dat die Laerskool Brackenfell wel vol is.

    Hoewel die departement van onder-

    wys indieWes-Kaap nverpligtinghet om

    alle ouers by te staan om hul kinders in

    n skool te plaas, beteken dit nie dat ons

    n plek in die skool van jou keuse kan

    waarborg nie, al is dit die naaste skool

    aan jou, s sy.

    V Na bladsy 2.

    Zeus, n geliefde herdershond van Bracken-

    fell, is die Horskool Brackenfell se eerste

    lewende gelukbringer.

    Met die vraag Wat isBrakkieland sonder

    n brakkie? het die idee na vore gekom om

    vir die skool n regte brakkie mascot te

    soek, s Nina Wiese, 2016 se voorsitter van

    die Verenigde Raad van Leerders (VRL).

    n Kompetisie is toe vroer vanjaar begin

    vir al die leerders van die skool, waar hulle

    honde kon inskryf om die skool se eerste

    brakkie te wees.

    N drie weke en vele inskrywings is die

    top-12 gekies en leerlinge het toe die geleent-

    heid gekry om vir hul gunsteling te stem.

    Zeus is verlede Saterdag by n rugbywed-

    stryd as die skool se nuwe gelukbringer aan

    die leerders bekendgestel.

    Almal is welkom om by die Horskool

    Brackenfell se volgende tuissportdag of by

    die interskoledag n foto saam met Zeus te

    neem en dalk op ons Facebook-blad Brak-

    kies mascot, of Instagram-blad te verskyn,

    s sy.

    Nes Zeus, is ek n trotse Brakkie en baie

    opgewonde oor die groot dinge wat nog in

    ons skool gaan gebeur. Be happy, be proud,

    be a brakkie!

    VERVOLG VAN BLADSY 1

    Volgens Merton moet die Laerskool Brac-

    kenfell eers voorsiening maak vir al die

    graad R-leerders wat reeds by die Pre-pri-

    mre Skool Brackenfell ingeskryf is, en kan

    daarom net n beperkte aantal nuwe

    graad R-leerders aanvaar.

    In terme van die skool se opnamebeleid

    moet daar ook voorkeur gegeeword aan sib-

    be van leerders wat reeds in die skool is,

    s sy.

    In n verklaring wat TygerBurger op

    18 Maart van die beheerliggaam van Laer-

    skool Brackenfell ontvang het, word daar

    egter bevestig dat die Pre-primre Skool

    Brackenfell nie onder die toesig van die

    WKOD of Laerskool Brackenfell val nie.

    Pre-primre onderrig in Suid-Afrika is

    n vrywillige aangeleentheid en word nie

    tans beskou as verpligte onderwys nie. Die

    administrasie van die pre-primre skool se

    fooie word goedgunstiglik deur die admini-

    stratiewepersoneel vanLaerskoolBracken-

    fell behartig, het dr. Guillaume Smit, voor-

    sitter van die beheerliggaam, geskryf.

    Hy het reageer op n medianavraag nadat

    talle kinders di skool verbied is nadat hulle

    ouers met betalings agtergeraak het.

    DiePre-primre SkoolBrackenfell is vol-

    ledig selfbefonds en afhanklik van die ge-

    reelde maandelikse betaling van die ouers

    van die leerders.

    Die skool handhaaf die beleid dat leer-

    ders wie se skoolfonds nie betaal word nie,

    nie onderrig kan ontvang nie, het hy byge-

    voeg.

    Indien ouers bykomende betalingsre-

    lings met die pre-primre skool tref en dit

    steeds nie nakom nie, laat dit die skool geen

    keuse as om onderrig te weier nie.

    Merton het bevestig dat n nuwe laerskool

    eers oor sowat drie jaar in Brackenfell ge-

    bou sal word. Di skool, wat in Vredekloof

    gebou word, sal teen Januarie 2019 gereed

    wees vir kinders uit Brackenfell en omlig-

    gende gebiede, s sy.

    Die skool sal 1 200 leerders in 29 klaska-

    mers, waarvan vier graad R-klasse gaan

    wees, kan huisves.

    Merton het egter geen antwoorde gehad

    vir ouers wat hul kinders teen 2017 in die

    skool moet plaas nie.

    Sulke ouers moet die distrikskantoor

    skakel om uit te vind waar die naaste oop

    skool is wat wel plek het, het sy ges.

    Maar as al die naburige skole vol is?

    Hierop kan Merton geen antwoord voor-

    sien nie, behalwe om te s dat die distriks-

    hoof,MarkMofoking, eerder gekontakmoet

    word.

    DESIRE RORKE

    @dezzierorke

    S

    ome 291 children were profiled and

    fingerprinted in a massive four-hour

    missing person operation held at Ca-

    peGate ShoppingCentre over theweekend.

    The campaignwas hosted byBrackenfell

    police in partnership with the mall, the

    Brackenfell CPF and Victim Support Unit,

    Teahmo and Pink Ladies.

    The aim was to create awareness

    around the process to follow when having

    to report a missing child and the impor-

    tance of providing as much as possible in-

    formation to the police about the missing

    person, says police spokesperson War-

    rant Officer Erica Crous.

    Parents completed forms providing all

    the relevant information about the child as

    well as identifiable marks or scars on the

    childs body. The child was then weighed,

    measured and fingerprinted.

    The forms were given to the parents to

    take home and safeguard. The ideal would

    be to update the information on this form

    every three to six months, she says.

    If a child goes missing, the parent can

    then bring the form, containing the most

    important information, to the police sta-

    tion.

    From experience we know how we

    sometimes struggle to get this information.

    It has happened in the past that we had to

    wait up to aweek to get amost recent photo

    of a missing person from the family to dis-

    tribute.

    In one case the most recent photo that

    could be provided was of when the child

    was two years old, she says.

    This is the third consecutive year that

    Brackenfell police hosted this campaign

    andCrous says she hopes it becomes an an-

    nual institution.

    We are extremely thankful to all the rel-

    evant role players for the huge role they

    played in ensuring the success of this day.

    By taking hands we can make a differ-

    ence.

    Community sweeps own porch

    DESIRE RORKE

    A

    s part of their Broken Windows

    project, residents from Welgele on

    Saturday literally and figuratively

    swept up their front porch.

    During a clean-up operation, two bakkie

    loads of rubbish were gathered from green-

    belt areas in and around Welgele.

    Thirty community members, young and

    old, helped with this neighbourhood watch

    project assisted by local security companies

    and Sector 4 police commanderWarrant Of-

    ficer Henry Waterson, says Elle Muller.

    It took three groups about two hours to

    clean the area, whereafter everyone en-

    joyed some coffee and rusks together. The

    day was a massive success and we hope to

    continue this initiative once every two

    months to maintain cleanliness and order

    in our little community, she says.

    The broken windows theory was first

    coined in the 1990s as a criminological theo-

    ry referring to the effect of urban disorder

    on crime trends and social behaviour.

    It states that by maintaining, cleaning

    and monitoring urban environments an at-

    mosphere of order and lawfulness is estab-

    lished that prevents more serious crimes

    from happening.

    In other words dont allow small disor-

    ders to lead to larger ones.

    During the late 1990s, then mayor of New

    York City, Rudolph Giuliani, became the

    firstmayorworldwide to successfully apply

    this theory in the streets of the mega city,

    causing crime rates to drop dramatically.

    Obviously murder and graffiti are two

    vastly different crimes. But they are part of

    the same continuum, and a climate that tol-

    erates one is more likely to tolerate the oth-

    er, he told the press in 1998.

    Over the last decade the theory was also

    accepted and applied in the City of Cape

    Town by several city improvement districts

    ona large scale andneighbourhoodwatches

    on a smaller scale.

    Muller says this makes perfect sense.

    When litter accumulates on pavements,

    people start leaving bags of refuse outside.

    As the area becomes dirty, petty crimes be-

    comes prevalent and respectable residents

    start moving out of an area, something that

    is not going to happen here, she says.

    Residents before they hit the streets.

    The Brackenfell Athletics Club and the Bar

    Flies Motorcycle Club are holding a doggie

    walk and fun run on Saturday 4 June to

    raisemoney for animal shelters in the area.

    All funds will be used to buy dog food

    which is always in shortage for shelters

    in our area, says a spokesperson of the ath-

    letics club.

    The fun run will start at the Bottelary

    TennisClubnext toCafMamboat 10:00, fol-

    lowed by the doggie walk at 10:15. Food and

    beverages will be on sale. Later the evening

    the Bar Flieswill host a party and bring and

    braai at the club house starting at 19:00.

    Entry to all events will be R30 per person

    and donations of dog foodwill be welcomed.

    andalism of fire hydrants in informal

    housing areas poses an immediate

    safety risk to those who live there.

    Much damagewas caused in aWallacede-

    ne shack fire last week Tuesday afternoon,

    when fire services battled to find aworking

    fire hydrant.

    The cause of the fire is not certain, but

    according to proportional city councillor,

    Roxanne Hoorn, the small fire that broke

    out in one shack very quickly spread to de-

    stroy about five or six other shacks, displac-

    ing many families.

    At a subcouncil meeting held the follow-

    ing day subcouncil chairman Grant Twigg

    peppered officials from fire and rescue ser-

    vices with questions relating to the prob-

    lem. According to an official representing

    the department, fire hydrants in the in-

    formal areas often represent problems.

    If it is not the brass fittings that are sto-

    len to be sold for cash, hydrants simply dis-

    appear as new shacks are built around

    them or even over them, he said.

    For the same reason repair teams often

    cant find fire hydrants for maintenance

    purposes.

    And the oneswe domaintain get vandal-

    ised on an ongoing basis. At one point we

    replaced the brass fittings with plastic, but

    found that this was not a durable option.

    Due to this we always call for extra wa-

    ter tankers to accompany the fire trucks to

    fires in areas such as Wallacedene, but on

    this occasion the water tankers arrived

    late, causing a delay, he said.

    Twigg was adamant that new creative so-

    lutions had to be found to address the prob-

    lem.

    The City has to come up with ways to

    secure water infrastructure in the same

    way it secures electrical infrastructure.

    Moreover, we have to identify all the prob-

    lems we face in this regard in order to ad-

    dress it.

    . In the early hours of Sunday morning

    another shack fire broke out, this time in

    the neighbouring Bloekombos, where four

    people died.

    Nowater for fires

    The Rent-A-Cop programme in Kraaifon-

    tein is paying off, thanks to ward allocation

    funding towards the appointment of dedi-

    cated law enforcement officers in the area.

    There are currently two rent-a-cops who

    operate in ward 7 and two who operate in

    ward 8.

    During themonth ofApril alone, the rent-

    a-cops in these two wards received and at-

    tended to 28 complaints, issued 28 fines, and

    conducted 43 operational interventions and

    102 hot-spot patrols.

    The rent-a-cops are doing an amazing

    job and this is money well spent to ensure

    that Kraaifontein is a safer place to live. I

    am currently assisting with morning pa-

    trols in Northpine at 05:00 every morning

    as part of my contribution to safeguarding

    the Northpine neighbourhood, said the

    Citys Bergdal subcouncil chairperson,

    Grant Twigg.

    Rent-a-cops work with the existing law

    enforcement officers and meet with ward

    councillors bi-weekly to discuss operation-

    al matters and crime intelligence for the ar-

    ea. Hotspot areas have been identified and

    are patrolled on a daily basis.

    Their duties include issuing notices with

    regard to dog complaints, warning notices,

    attending to general complaints, removing

    loiterers, making arrests and dealing with

    unlicensed motor vehicles, parking on red

    lines, parking on sidewalks, and parking in

    disabled bays, among others.

    DESIRE RORKE

    @dezzierorke

    W

    ith the advent of the new Munici-

    pal Planning Tribunal (MPT), the

    developmental landscape of Cape

    Town will be changing fast and furious.

    The MPT, consisting of a panel of town

    planners only, will give effect to new legis-

    lation to bring town planning into align-

    ment with the transformation that has tak-

    en place in other facets of local govern-

    ment.

    The determination of all land use appli-

    cations and future developments will thus

    be taken out of the hands of local ward

    councillors, who traditionally represent-

    ed the interests of their constituents at

    council level.

    Executive mayor Patricia de Lille said

    that the new process was designed to pro-

    vide fairness and equality and to readdress

    previous wrongs brought about by Apart-

    heid planning.

    Therefore it will bring about a more in-

    tegrated, high density city, where all peo-

    ple will be living closer to their places of

    work, she said.

    One of the objectives is to reduce travel

    times and congestion on Cape Town

    roads.

    De Lille was speaking at the recent con-

    ference of the of theWesternCapeDevelop-

    ment Forum (WCDF) held in Century City.

    MPTs were made mandatory in all prov-

    inces by the Spatial Planning andLandUse

    Management Act (SPLUMA) in 2013.

    In Cape Town, sittings of the MPT com-

    menced in October last year, whence 180

    applications have been determined. Of

    these less than 2% were refused.

    Not a new concept

    David Daniels, chairperson of Cape

    Towns first MPT, explained the concept of

    municipal planning tribunals.

    It is not a new concept being introduced

    in the Development Facilitation Act (DFA)

    in Gauteng in 1995, but found to be uncon-

    stitutional, he said.

    The idea was again pursued in the 2001

    White Paper on Spatial Planning with the

    core notion that decision making on town

    planning matters are technical in nature

    and should therefore be done by practition-

    ers with the relevant technical proficien-

    cy.

    Even though new local government leg-

    islation was introduced to govern munici-

    palities, local governments proceeded to

    develop their own Spatial Development

    Frameworks with limited policy or politi-

    cal guidance. Land use decisionswere thus

    still being decided in terms of the old order

    Land use Planning Ordinance (LUPO).

    The new order legislation was intro-

    duced in the Western Cape in 2014 by the

    Western Cape Land Use Planning Act (LU-

    PA), whereafter the MPT was established

    at the end of 2015.

    The above legislation flowed from thena-

    tional Spatial Planning and LandUseMan-

    agement Act (SPLUMA) of 2013.

    In Cape Town, 21 town planners were ap-

    pointed to the tribunal, whose decisions

    will be guided by SPLUMAprinciples such

    as spatial justice and sustainability. It will

    also have to comply with environmental

    legislation.

    Daniels stressed the fact that the impact

    of future developments on property values

    will not be the sole factor to be taken into

    account with decision making. Several

    factors such as social and economic im-

    pact, impact on heritage, capital invest-

    ment and traffic impacts are to be taken in-

    to account as well as how negative impacts

    can be mitigated.

    It is hard to say

    how much

    weight will be

    given to property

    values alone.

    Each case will be

    determined on

    its own merit,

    he said.

    All of these

    criteria are open

    to interpretation

    and require exer-

    cise of judge-

    ment. In decid-

    ing on a matter, the MPT may impose rea-

    sonable conditions to ensure there are

    positive outcomes from its decisions.

    Council also adopted a set of rules of pro-

    cedure for meetings of the MPT, which in-

    cludes guidelines for oral hearings.

    Objections

    Residents objecting against newdevelop-

    ments can apply to address the MPT at

    such oral hearings. Tribunalmeetings will

    take place once a month in each region of

    the City, where ward councillors and the

    public can attend and participate in oral

    hearings.

    It is disappointing though that very few

    ward councillors or members of the public

    have up until now attended such meet-

    ings, he said. Ward councillors can use

    this opportunity to bring justified con-

    cerns of their constituents to the fore.

    Ward councillor Marian Nieuwoudt,

    who attended the MPT meetings, told Tyg-

    erBurger residents of Cape Town will have

    to educate themselves with the functions

    and procedures

    of theMPT in or-

    der to have their

    voices heard in

    future develop-

    ments in their

    areas.

    If not, they

    will be excluded

    from decisions

    that may affect

    their immediate

    area, she said.

    As ward

    councillor I can

    advise them on

    planning issues but I cant formulate their

    arguments for them.

    In the Northwest the MPT panel meets

    in the Goodwood Council Chamber on the

    first Tuesday of each month and considers

    applications from the Blaauwberg and Ta-

    ble Bay planning districts.

    The Northeast panel meets in the Bell-

    ville Council Chamber on the third Tues-

    day of eachmonth to consider applications

    from the Tygerberg and northern planning

    districts.

    In the City of Cape Town, the Executive

    Mayor is the appeal authority and theMay-

    or has set up a panel to advise her on ap-

    peals against decision taken by the autho-

    rised official(s) or the MPT, says Daniels.

    He concluded by saying that the intro-

    duction of MPTs is an important step for-

    ward in the transformation of local govern-

    ment in South Africa.

    Cape Town to change fast, furious

    Daniels stressed the

    fact that the impact of

    future developments on

    property valueswill not

    be the sole factor to be

    taken into accountwith

    decisionmaking

    RICHARD ROBERTS

    @richardjohn_rj

    D

    ie Kuilsrivier-polisie ondersoek tans

    altesaam 20 klagte van bedrog wat by

    die polisiekantoor aangemeld is se-

    dert Januarie vanjaar.

    Die sake hou glo verbandmet aanlyn-ver-

    kopewaarin diemisdadigers verskeie soort

    items op f Gumtree f OLX adverteer en

    aan mense verkoop. n Transaksie word

    aangegaan en betaling gemaak, maar die

    item self bereik nooit die koper nie.

    Kapt. Isaac van Niekerk, polisiewoord-

    voerder, s in al 20 sake word die slagoffers

    op verskillende maniere ingeloop.

    In een van die gevalle is daar honde, kat-

    te, beeste en skape wat as te koop geadver-

    teer word. Die kopers het vir die diere be-

    taal, maar het nooit die diere ontvang nie.

    Die klaers kontak gewoonlik die verko-

    per om meer uit te vind oor die diere wat

    hulle adverteer. Die verkoper s dan daar

    is ander wat ook in die dier belangstel en

    dat die eerste persoon wat n aanbod maak,

    die dier sal kry.

    Die verkopers voorsien hulle dan van n

    bankrekeningnommer waarin hulle die

    geld moet inbetaal. Daar word belowe dat

    die dier dan per vliegtuig na die koper ge-

    koerier sal word, maar dit gebeur nie, ver-

    duidelik Van Niekerk.

    n Bedrag geld word ook gevra vir verse-

    kering. n Veearts wat glo na die dier om-

    sien, kontak glo ook die koper en s die hou-

    er waarin die dier vervoer word is nie ge-

    skik nie en dat die koper n nuwe houer

    moet koop, s die polisie. n Nuwe bankre-

    keningnommerword aan die koper gestuur

    en nog geld word dan inbetaal. N n paar

    dae sal die koper dan besef hy of sy is inge-

    loop, s Van Niekerk. Hy s tot dusver is

    daar n reeks sulke gevalle in die Kuilsri-

    vier-polisie-gebied aangemeld.

    Die betrokkemisdadigers sit egter in Jo-

    hannesburg,vertel hy.Hysdiebankreke-

    ning wat geskep word en waarin slagoffers

    geld inbetaal, word geopen, maar weer ge-

    sluit sodra betaling ontvang is.

    Vals dokumente word gebruik om die re-

    keninge te skep en in meeste gevalle word

    dit by banke in Johannesburg geopen.

    Verskeie soortgelyke aanlyn-transaksies

    kom voor waarin ander items, goedere of

    produkte verkoop word.

    VanNiekerk s somswordmotors ook op

    di wyse aan mense verkoop, maar bereik

    die produk nooit die koper nie. Die voertuie

    is in meeste gevalle in Gauteng en moet

    Kaapstad toe vervoer word.

    Daar word dan ook ges dat ander in die

    motor belangstel. Bankrekeningnommers

    word ook verskaf, die betaling word ge-

    maak, maar die motor bereik nooit die ko-

    per nie. In meeste gevalle betaal die kopers

    ook die volledige bedrag, s Van Niekerk.

    Sodra die transaksie afgehandel is, is

    daar geen kontak van die adverteerder en

    die koper nie.Vals verwysingsnommers vir

    die transaksies word verskaf, s die polisie.

    Sodra die koper die handelaar kontak,

    vind hy of sy uit dit was n bedrogspul, s

    Van Niekerk. Huise word ook op so n ma-

    nier as te huur of verkoop geadverteer.

    Die huurder of koper wat belangstel in

    die eiendomsal geld by die bedrier se reke-

    ning inbetaal, maar agterna uitvind dat hy

    of sy ingeloop is, sVanNiekerk.Die polisie

    versoek dat mense seker maak die verko-

    per, die items wat hulle verkoop en die

    bankrekening wat hulle verskaf, is in orde

    voordat n betaling aangegaan word. n

    Mens koop nie n item of produk wat jy nie

    self gesien het of aan geraak het nie, s hy.

    Talle bedrogklagte

    word ondersoek

    Now open in Aurora, Durbanville!

    A

    neglected border collie in the middle

    of nowhere was the inspiration for a

    fundraising cycling challenge over

    480 km in less than 30 hours to raise

    money for the sterilisation of animals.

    A total of R30 000 was raised by the group

    of 13 cyclists and four support drivers, all

    from the northern suburbs, with the chal-

    lenge of riding non-stop from Oudtshoorn

    to Durbanville in under 30 hours all in aid

    of Fisantekraal Animal Welfare (FAW).

    The ride was organised by Durbanville

    residents Neil and Belinda van Tonder, also

    the organisers of the popular Durbie Dash

    cycling event, as part of FAWs tenth anni-

    versary year.

    Neil was inspired to organise the chal-

    lenge by an experience he hadwhile partici-

    pating in the 7-day Cape Pioneer.

    In the middle of nowhere, we came

    across a neglected border collie. I logged the

    GPS co-ordinates and contacted Border Col-

    lie Rescue, who rescued him. I have never

    forgotten this dog, he said.

    VanTonder, also a regular volunteerwith

    FAW for over two years, explained that the

    sterilisation of dogs and cats in townships

    is FAWsmain area of focus as it is the best

    way to combat animal neglect and abuse in

    the long-term.

    She said: We, at FAW, would like to

    thank each and every sponsor and donor,

    the support drivers and especially the rid-

    ers for their hard work. The difference this

    is going to make is huge!

    n

    Kritiese tekort aan pleegouers in

    Suid-Afrika het die hulporganisa-

    sie Solidariteit Helpende Hand ge-

    noodsaak om n bewusmakingsveldtog

    aangaande die kwessie van stapel te stuur.

    Die hoeksteen van die veldtog bied n

    spesiale digitale platform om die proses

    vir potensile pleegouers makliker te

    maak.

    Afgevaardigdes van die organisasie se

    hoofkantoor in Pretoria het Brackenfell

    verledeDonderdag besoek omdiewebblad

    in die Wes-Kaap bekend te stel.

    Riaan de Plooy, adjunk- uitvoerende

    hoof vanHelpendeHand, en Isabel Faurie,

    maatskaplike werker, het met plaaslike

    maatskaplikehulporganisasies ontmoet

    omdie probleme rondomdie kwessie te be-

    spreek.

    Volgens Faurie het die getal pleegouers

    in die land drasties afgeneem oor die afge-

    lope drie jaar. Van meer as 570 000 pleeg-

    ouers aan die einde van 2013, het hierdie

    getal wat toelaes ontvang, gedaal geduren-

    de 2016 tot 450 000, s Faurie. Omdat po-

    tensile pleegouers worstel met heelwat

    vrae oor pleegsorg, verhinder dit hulle om

    hulself as pleegouers beskikbaar te stel,

    meen sy.

    Dis een van die redes waarom Helpen-

    deHand diewebblad geskep hetwaar hier-

    die vrae beantwoord kan word.

    Voornemendepleegouers of personewat

    hul woning as plek van veiligheid wil be-

    skikbaar stel, kan op hierdiewebblad regi-

    streer om hulself sodoende beskikbaar te

    stel vir pleegsorg.

    Hul gegewens word voorts aan die on-

    derskeie geregistreerde kinderbesker-

    mingsorganisasies versprei, wat die keu-

    ringsproses hanteer, s sy.

    In die Wes-Kaap word n groot tekort er-

    vaar aan pleegouers en gesinne wat hul

    wonings as plek van veiligheid in n krisis

    kan aanbied. Daar is tans slegs 29 330

    pleegouers geregistreer in di provinsie

    waar middelmisbruik hoogty vier.

    Honderde kinders is op soek na n lief-

    devolle huis en voornemende pleegouers

    moenie bang wees om in te spring en n

    verskil te maak nie.

    HoewelHelpendeHandnie oor die statu-

    tremagte beskik om kinders in pleegsorg

    te plaas nie, is hulle vanwe hul betrok-

    kenheid by armoede onder wit mense be-

    wus van gebreke in die stelsel.

    Die webblad www.pleegsorg.co.za ver-

    duidelik in diepte wat pleegsorg behels en

    bied n uiteensetting van die regte van die

    pleegouer, biologiese ouers en die pleeg-

    kind. Pleegsorg behels dat n kind by ge-

    keurde pleegouers geplaas word nadat hy

    of sydeurdiekinderhof, ingevolgedieKin-

    derwet, as sorgbehoewend bevind is, ver-

    duidelik Faurie.

    Hand se pleegsorgfonds te skenk.

    LEWENSKIEKIE

    Nou kan ek s

    ek voel dit

    saammet jou

    Moenie die vuur sien en daarin loop nie.

    So het my ma altyd haar kinders

    vermaan. Let op die waarskuwingstekens

    voordat jy iets aanpak.

    As koerantmens moet ons gedurig

    waarsku: Moenie oor daardie brug stap

    nie. Wees versigtig as jy by daardie

    kruising stilhou.

    Weens n sameloop van omstandighede

    moes ek vandeesweek oor n brug stap

    waaroor ek en my kollegas al verskeie

    kere berigte geskryf het. Op di brug

    word mense op n daaglikse basis beroof

    deur skurke wat daar rondhang.

    Gedagtig aan al die waarskuwingstories

    wat ons al gedoen het, sit ek my selfoon

    in my rugsak en my beursie in my

    gatsak.

    Minute later is ek sonder my geld,

    selfoon, trouring en die werk se kamera

    nadat twee jongens my beroof het.

    Het ek my ma se vuur-waarskuwing

    verontagsaam? Het ek my verhewe

    gehou bo die mense

    wat elke dag

    sonder keuse oor

    di brug mt stap?

    Of was dit n

    geval van dit

    gebeur net met

    ander mense?

    Ek het een keer

    di aanhaling

    gehoor: Dit sal

    vermetel van jou

    wees om oor die

    lewe te skryf as jy

    nog self nie gelewe

    het nie.

    N wat met my

    gebeur het, dink ek aan baie voorvalle

    waar ek as joernalis die vermetelheid

    gehad het om van kunsmatige ho torings

    af voorvalle te beskryf. Dis nie te s ons

    moet almal slagoffers van misdaad wees

    om met gesag daaroor te kan skryf nie,

    maar perspektief maak ander wrelde

    oop.

    Wanneer ek in die toekoms gaan skryf

    oor mense wat slagoffers van misdaad

    was, hoop ek die empatie kan deurkom in

    my verslaggewing daardie gevoel van

    magteloosheid, weerloosheid en vrees

    wanneer wildvreemde mense beslag l op

    jou eiendom.

    Het ek die vuur gesien en daar inge-

    loop? Ja. Moes ek, by nabetragting,

    eerder n ander roete gekies het? Jip.

    Is my gevoel van veiligheid onder my

    voete uitgeruk deur skermunkels wat net

    op soek is na hul volgende fix?

    In hierdie stadium sien ek almal as

    verdagtes.

    Maar ek hoop hierdie ervaring sal my

    in die toekoms help om te kan s: Ek

    voel dit saam met jou, want ek ken daai

    gevoel. Brenden Ruiter

    I read the article Laat ge-

    stremdes se parkeerplekke

    oop, TB, 18 May, with great

    interest, and agree wholeheart-

    edly that the fraudulent use of

    disabled parking bays must be

    punished and the drivers fined

    heavily.

    I am a healthy, able-bodied

    59-year-old. My husband and I

    moved to Durbanville about a

    year ago, with my 87-year-old

    mother who suffers from

    severe osteoporosis, and can

    only walk if she wears a back

    brace, uses her walking stick

    and uses a shop basket trolley

    for support.

    She does not need to go out

    often, as we provide all her

    needs, but every now and then,

    its just nice to see the world

    outside her room, and this is

    never for long, as she tires

    quickly.

    On recommendation of our

    doctor, we applied for a

    disabled parking disc when we

    still lived on the Atlantic

    Seaboard, and were granted it

    twice. Her last licence expired

    in March of this year, and we

    have stopped using it, for fear

    of getting a fine. A new

    application was made at the

    Durbanville Traffic Depart-

    ment. We complied with all

    requested documents, but our

    application was denied. The

    reason given that old age is

    not a disability, and, since the

    doctor stated that she can get

    in and out of the car unaided,

    was reason enough not to

    grant this disc.

    I was shocked and disap-

    pointed. My mother gave up

    driving her own car some five

    years ago, due to failing

    eyesight and troubles with her

    back: she battles to reverse

    park and very sensibly feels

    that she should no longer

    drive. Thanks to the Traffic

    Department, she will now see

    even less of our new and

    beautiful surroundings. We are

    all so very happy on this side

    of the boerewors-gordyn but

    this left us all bitterly disap-

    Old age is not a

    disability, but ...

    Re. Plastic not the enemy we

    are, TB, 18 May. Machines are

    now commercially available

    which will convert waste plastic

    into fuel (usually diesel fuel).

    In order to publicise this, a

    light aircraft is to fly from San

    Francisco to Alaska, using

    plastic derived fuel.

    The fact that the fuel is to be

    used in an aircraft should

    dispel any fears concerning the

    quality of the fuel.

    It has been suggested that it

    will be economic to pay for

    scrap plastic.

    More details may be found at:

    www.onwingsofwaste.org and

    www.plasticenergy.eu/en/ or

    simply Google plastic to fuel.

    Plastic powered

    plane to prove point

    Recently the Voortrekker Road

    Corridor Improvement District

    (VRCID) advertised a vacant

    post in TygerBurger. Via this

    letter I would like to give some

    sound advice to potential job

    seekers on how to apply for a

    job and make an impression on

    the potential employer.

    First of all, read the require-

    ment of the post. For example,

    if it says that you must not

    submit more than five pages, do

    not submit six pages. By doing

    this it means you are not

    following the set requirements.

    Secondly, do not attach

    certificates, copy of ID or any

    other documentation if the

    advert clearly says you should

    not. Thirdly, if you are asked to

    send a motivation letter as to

    why you should be considered,

    do research on the employer

    and the specific needs they are

    advertising. Do not send out a

    Show themyou are

    the right candidate

    husband to be blessed and not a

    griper Andr Bakkes (Three

    days of paternity leave a joke,

    TB, 11 May).

    1. I agree 101%. Parking bays

    should be for moms, dads,

    grannies, grandads, tots and

    disabled.

    2. A separate baby changing

    room in the mens section

    after all, it takes two to make

    them, so there should be two

    rearing them.

    3. It is a pity that the design-

    ers/architects of these infra-

    structures have no common

    sense only degrees.

    4. The security guard to be

    trained in customer care to

    think out of the box.

    5. Paternity leave should be

    granted for +- three months or

    until the baby is sleeping

    through the night.

    6. Keep up the excellent

    parenting until you no longer

    can as they will never leave

    your side, especially being such

    a role model.

    7. Drew Barrymore, ETs

    maintains that travel is the

    no spelling or grammatical

    that you did not read through

    Bellville directorUgaCarliniwill be in the

    spotlight next week when she premiers

    her new film Alison the Movie at the En-

    counters International Film Festival.

    Based on the book I have life: Alisons

    Journey as told to Marianne Thamm, the

    film tells the true-life story ofAlisonBotha

    who was raped, stabbed and disembow-

    elled, but survived to rebuild her life as an

    inspirational speaker.

    Themovie is alsoUgas debuthybrid fea-

    ture film/documentary which sees her

    telling Alisons story using a mixture of

    fairy tale idiomandunflinching frankness

    and putting real-life heroes from that

    night alongside actors like another Bell-

    ville local, Christia Visser who plays a

    young Alison, Zak Hendrikz, De Klerk Oe-

    lofse and Francois Maree.

    Uga, from Towerkop Creations, special-

    ises in female driven heroine stories so

    there could be no higher honour for her

    than to make her debut feature film about

    one of South Africas most loved heroines.

    This is the first time Ali-

    son has ever allowed camer-

    as into her home, and Uga

    not only tells the story of her

    brutal experience, but also

    shows theaudiencewhat she

    has done and become since.

    With this in mind, Pen-

    guin, the publishers behind

    the top selling I have Life,

    have partneredwith the film

    team to release a film tie-in

    edition of the book with a

    new chapter that looks at

    Alisons life since the books

    first publication in 1998.

    Alison has already been dubbed a story

    of monsters, miracles and hope. While

    the movie will enjoy its cinema release in

    August, it will be screened for the first

    time at the Encounters International Doc-

    umentary FilmFestival at theV&AWater-

    fronts Cinema Noveau

    and The Labia Theatre

    from Thursday 2 to Sun-

    day 12 June. Uga, Alison

    and actress Christia will

    launch the new edition

    of I have life at Cinema

    Noveau from 18:45 on

    Friday 3 June before

    hosting a Q&A session

    where theyll be joined

    by Marianne Thamm at

    The Labia on Tuesday 7

    June.

    A

    s the popularity of social media sites

    and chat groups continues to grow, ex-

    perts havewarned parents to be aware

    of a growing trend in cyberbullying.

    Speaking to parents during a recent public

    meeting in Table View, Evan Booyens of Da

    Vinci Forensics explains cyberbullying is

    when someone uses the internet, cellphones

    and other technological devices to send or

    post text or images intended to hurt, embar-

    rass, threaten, torment, humiliate or intimi-

    date their victim.

    He sayswhile cyberbullying is rampant in

    countries like America, leading to various

    emotional problems in teens and in some

    cases suicide, South African teens were

    slowly starting to feel the impact. Similar to

    the old fashioned form of bullying, Booyens

    explains various tactics such as gossip,

    threats and trickery are used among chil-

    dren. Howeverwhen online these tactics are

    amplified as the bullies can now torment

    others anonymously.

    In the online space, he says, new tactics

    are used andmost disturbing is the creation

    of fake social media profiles. Here the bully

    creates a Facebook page or any other form

    of social media account and poses as their

    victim, placing embarrassing or false posts.

    In South Africa the most commonly used

    social media site is Facebook and Booyens

    says inmost cases girls are the perpetrators.

    There are various reasons children do

    this. They include revenge, power, enter-

    tainment, stupidity or problems at home.

    Booyens says the effects on the victim

    range from sadness and anxiety to depres-

    sion, anger and in some cases, suicide.

    So why is cyberbullying so hurtful? Be-

    cause in a digital age, bullying is not fleet-

    ing. Booyens explains at the top of the list

    is the permanence of a hurtful post on social

    media. Here the insults, comments or imag-

    es can be preserved by the person who was

    bullied or others can read or view it again

    and the harm is reinflicted each time.

    Anotherdownfall is thatwith socialmedia

    sites, the bully now has a bigger audience

    than just a school hallway or locker room.

    This, Booyens says, the amount of people

    able to view the damaging material increas-

    es the victims humiliation.

    According to international studies, 92.6%

    of teens say cruel behaviour takes place on

    Facebook. Booyens says those same studies

    indicate that 65.8% of teens responded to

    their bullies of which 35% where personal

    confrontations.

    Booyens says while South African teens

    were not as hard hit by cyberbullying, its

    important for parents to be aware of the po-

    tential dangers.

    It wont take that long for our children

    tobehit hardby this and its alreadyhappen-

    ing on Facebook. There are some simple

    ways to help prevent it.

    First on the list is for parents to have their

    childrens social media passwords. He says

    while teens will complain about their priva-

    cy being violated, it is important for parents

    to have access tomonitor their interactions.

    He says parents should encourage their

    children to speak up if they are being bullied

    and should be taught how to block their bul-

    lies from their social media accounts.

    Soft underbelly of

    cyberbullying

    CARINA ROUX

    To eat an elephant, you do it bite by bite.

    To raise money for a worthy cause much

    bigger than an elephant, you can now do

    it tile by tile.

    Every year Heidi Ansley, owner of the

    Piet-my-Vrou mosaic studio in the Rust-

    en-Vrede Gallery in Durbanville and her

    students do a special mosaic project in

    aid of charity. This year the proceedswill

    go to the Cape KidneyAssociation, a non-

    profit organisation that helps destitute

    renal and dialysis patients with support

    ranging from monthly food parcels to

    travel allowances to get to the hospital.

    The choice of charity was sparked by

    Cindy de Beer from Bellville, who has

    been living on dialysis for 36 years.

    Cindy is a private patient, but serving

    on our committee, and knowing the

    plight of renal failure and the dialysis,

    she feels the need to assist patients that

    are not as fortunate as her to have amedi-

    cal aid, says Molly Fab, executive di-

    rector of the Cape Kidney Association.

    On average a hemodialysis treatment

    lasts about four hours and is done three

    times per week.

    The project was launched at the open-

    ing of the studios yearly exhibition on

    Tuesday 10 May and to date has raised

    R13 000.

    The students have set up amosaicwork

    station in the gallery area. Guests can

    sponsor a glass tile for R20, or five for

    R100, and become part of creating a beau-

    tiful artwork. All it takes is applying a

    thin layer of glue to the back of the glass

    tile and placing it securely next to one al-

    ready stuck down.

    The completed mosaics are up for sale

    and all of the proceedswill go towards the

    Cape Kidney Association.

    The project runs until the end of the ex-

    hibition on Wednesday 8 June. The Rust-

    en-Vrede Gallery is openMondays to Fri-

    days from 09:00 to 17:00 (until 16:00 from

    1 June) and Saturdays from 09:00 to 13:00.
