EDUCATION: PARENTS RAISE CONCERNS

Centre of controversy

ESM ERASMUS

@erasmusesme

T

heWestern Cape Department of Educa-

tion is investigating a tutor centre in

Durbanville, which parents and a

former facilitator claim is run as a school,

but not registered as such with the depart-

ment.

The Study Xpress tutor centre, which

opened in January last year on the corner

of De Villiers and Wellington roads, caters

for about 80 children fromGrade R tomatric

all children who are home-schooled and

cannot be accommodated in public schools.

The centremakes use of the private Impak

curriculum and is accredited as an Impak

centre. The cost for a Grade 10 learner is

around R3200 per month.

However, according to the School Act,

home-schooling must take place primarily

at the childs home, or the centremust regis-

ter as an independent schoolwith thedepart-

ment and adhere to a whole lot of require-

ments regarding space, design and facilities.

The managing director of Study Xpress,

Ivan Grobler, told TygerBurger the centre

was not operating as a school and no formal

classes were presented.

He said the learners were following a

home-schooling programme and only attend

the centre every day between 08:30 and 13:00

for assistance by facilitators.

This is not true, said Natasha Rheeders,

a parent who also worked as a facilitator at

the centre.

She took herGrade 10 son out of the centre

in the first week of February. At least seven

more learners left the centre in the first

week of February.

You can walk in at any time and find

foundation phase children being taught in

a classroom set-up. Lessons are worked out.

We also received letters that the hours

are 08:00 to 13:00 and there are even two

breaks. Of course this is formal teaching,

she said. Parents who enrol their children

there, are already desperate. When I moved

to Cape Town in the middle of last year, we

applied to four high schools, but they were

all full, said Rheeders.

Tyger Valley centre will host

its Cansa Shavathon this

coming weekend from 09:00

to 15:00 and is inviting the

public to support this worthy

initiative. Cancer has affected

many of our lives in one way

or another, and this is your

opportunity to make a change

and contribute to the Cancer

Foundation of South Africa

(Cansa) to increase the

opportunities for further

research and care to patients,

says Ashleigh Fontini of the

centre. Shoppers can either

spray or shave their hair for

R50 (adults) and R25 (children

under the age of 12). Televi

sion presenter and singer

Amor Vittone had lots of fun

when she was asked to spray

paint singer and actor Pedro

Krugers head for the Shava

thon. Pedro said if he had hair,

he would have shaved it off

DESIRE RORKE

@dezzierorke

T

wee Kraaifontein-skole het koning ge-

kraai in dieATKVsenasionaleHande-

vat-kompetisie vir 2015 en weer eens

daardeur bewys dat Suid-Afrika se ren-

boogstorie nog lank nie sy kleur verloor het

nie.

Die Horskool Monumentpark en die Pri-

mre Skool AME Kraaifontein is Vrydag

amptelik aangewys as die nasionale kampi-

oene vir 2015 en het prysgeld van R30 000

elk ontvang.

Di projek se naam beskryf sy doelstel-

lings perfek: dat n bevoorregte skool, in di

geval Horskool Monumentpark, hande

vat met n minderbevoorregte skool om

laasgenoemde se omstandighede volhou-

baar te verander.

Winnie Viljoen, n onderwyser by die Ho-

erskool Monument Park en die projekleier,

vertel meer. Nadat ons twee skole aan die

begin van 2015 besluit het om aan die kom-

petisie deel te neem, moes ons eerstens be-

paal waar die behoefte l om n projekplan

uiteen te sit en aan die ATKV voor te l.

Maatskaplike dienste, met die fokus op

kindermishandeling, is as die grootste be-

hoefte by AME gedentifiseer.

OmdatMonumentpark oor hul eiemaat-

skaplike werker beskik wat deur die skool

self besoldig word, het ons besluit dat daar

s n verskil gemaak kan word, s Viljoen.

Die ATKV het die groen lig gegee en vin-

nig is n span bymekaar gebring, wat lede

van die leerlingraad en die horskool se ge-

meenskapsdiensorganisasie, #HeroesRoar,

ingesluit het. In die daaropvolgende jaarhet

uiteenlopende programme en aksies groot

verandering meegebring in die gemeen-

skappe. Onderwysers en leerderleiers het

opleiding ontvang oor bewusmaking van

kindermishandeling, terwyl gemeenskaps-

betrokkenheid aangemoedig is.

Op 16 Junie het tien omliggende skole n

optog gehounadieKraaifontein-polisiekan-

toor en n drama wat mishandeling uit-

beeld, is aan die hele Primre Skool AME

Kraaifontein opgevoer. Verder is pamflette

met inligting oor mishandeling en kontak-

nommers aan leerders by AME uitgedeel,

s Viljoen.

Daar is selfs n traumahoekie en trauma-

fonds by die skool geskep. Hiervoor het die

ATKV R3 000 beskikbaar gestel.

Viljoen s die projekte het beide skole

deur die loop van die jaar baie besig gehou

om groot suksesse te behaal.

Op 19 Januarie het die finale beoordeling

plaasgevind. Die wonderlike nuus oor die

wenvennootskap is kort daarna ontvang.

FROM PAGE 1

I had no alternative but to consider home-

schooling. I came across Study Xpress who

advertised themselves as a school on their

Facebook page brochures and in their corre-

spondence to me.

Their mandate says they can facilitate

any of the subjects on the list offered by the

Impak curriculum. They further invited me

to a meeting to explain to me that my son

will be getting better than private school ed-

ucation.

So, I ended up at Study Xpress not only

as a parent, but also as one of their facilita-

tors. I attended a two-week training session

together with other facilitators, and already

during this time I had my doubts.

During the training it was hammered in-

to the heads of facilitators that Study Xpress

was merely a facilitator and children must

learn to work on their own.

Whilst this is the basis of home-school-

ing, it is not what they offer and charge for.

Parents are told that they are getting one-on-

one tutoring with facilities that have state

of the art equipment and qualified tutors in

each subject area. This is not true.

There areno tutors that can facilitate any

technical subjects.

According to Rheeders the building holds

more children and adults than the health de-

partment would allow and does not have

enough ventilation. There are also only two

toilets on the premises.

This facility is also catering for children

with medical needs, such as those being on

medication for ADD and ADHD. There is al-

so a special needs child in Grade 1, with no-

body at the centre being qualified or trained

to deal with such children, she said.

Rheeders said she decided to take her son

out and resigned as facilitator after she real-

ised that the level of teaching was not up to

standard.

Another former parent at the centre, Rene

Herbst, said she took her son out of a public

school in August 2015 as she was impressed

with the Study Xpress offer and wanted the

best for her son. They later told me that I

misunderstood the part about them ever tu-

toring they merely offer facilitation.

Two weeks into the first term, my son

still didnt have certain subjects, there was

no teacher for EGD, a brand new subject,

there was no mobile physics unit as prom-

ised, and with this all being brand new sub-

jects for Grade 10, I once again understood

the horror that was unfolding.

When his facilitator left, it was the last

strawandwithin two days I removedmy son

and enrolled him in Abbotts. He had to

catch up and had extra lessons every day

since he started, because he was so far be-

hind.

Study Xpress continues to sell this tutor-

ing service to many parents. They some-

times have students overseeing the chil-

dren, and to the best of my knowledge there

are very few qualified actual teachers on

site, she said.

Grobler said hewas busywith a legal proc-

ess with both the parents. Not everybody

will fit in with our centre. We cannot keep

everybody happy, he said.

He added the foundation phase will move

to a new building opposite the centre on

1 April.

. At the time of going to press, TygerBur-

ger was still waiting for formal comment

from the Western Cape education depart-

ment.

e aware your wallet and cellphone

are not yet safe once you have reached

the pay point at a supermarket with-

out being the victim of a theft.

A wallet was stolen out of a customers

trolley at a pay point in Checkers Durban-

ville lastWednesdayaround16:50 byawom-

an who pushed through the rather narrow

till point behind her back.

I was unpacking my groceries out of the

trolley baskets when this woman rudely

pushed through the pay point behind my

back. Shortly after I noticed my wallet was

missing.

Two ofmy cardswere found lying on the

floor close to where my trolley was. It must

have fallen outwhen she grabbedmywallet

from the basket of my trolley, the victim

said.

I had my cellphone in the pocket of my

pants and claspedmywallet undermy arm,

but had to put it down in a basket at the

pay point to free my hands to unpack my

groceries, she said.

Video footage

On the video footage one can clearly see

that the suspect is holding my wallet in her

left hand and also walks through the till

point with a strip of chocolate sweets in her

right hand held up for all to see.

This she puts downat the end of the adja-

cent till (where the plastic bags are kept)

and walks off with my wallet.

It struck me immediately after the inci-

dent that under circumstances the cashier

acted rather strangely and I suspect that

she as involved as well.

Firstly, how could she not see that the

woman was walking through the pay point

withanunpaid item (the strip of chocolates)

in her hand, and why did she not attempt

to stop her?

Secondly, it seemedshe tried todelay the

discovery of my stolen wallet. She made no

attempt to assist or try to assist packingmy

groceries, which would have been normal

under circumstances as I was then already

searching for my wallet.

I also suspect that the cashier has some-

thing to dowith theKinder Joy sweetwhich

endedupamongmygroceries to furtherdis-

tract me. The Kinder Joy sweets were dis-

played on the till counter, but my groceries

were far away enough not to get mixed up.

She was also the only one close enough to

push one of the sweets amongmy groceries,

as I was on the other side of my trolley.

Investigation started

While I was then frantically searching

for mywallet, she ignoredmy distress com-

pletely, calling the supervisor to void the

Kinder Joy from the invoice, she said.

She said the manager at the time, Lour-

ens Botha, said people walk through the

pay point past customers all the time.

Why is this allowed where customers

are at their most vulnerable packing out

their groceries on the counter? I have never

experienced this at any other supermarket

in Durbanville, she asked.

Sarita van Wyk, spokesperson for Shop-

rite Checkers, said they have started an in-

vestigation and looked at the video footage,

but have at that stage no reason to suspect

the involvement of the cashier.

Unfortunately it is a reality today that

such incidents happen in supermarkets,

restaurants and theatres. It is not possible

to keep an eye on all people, she said.

Van Wyk did not answer questions on

how many cases of theft were recently re-

ported at Checkers Durbanville, or why the

supermarket allowspeople to pushpast cus-

tomers at the till point to exit.

According to Colonel Theo Fisher of the

Durbanville police, not many cases of theft

inside supermarkets are reported. Howev-

er, hewarned people tomake sure they lock

their vehicles as remote jamming is rife in

parking areas at supermarkets in the town

centre.

ner, send an email to [email protected].

@linnertmb

A

proposal to see vagrants across the

broader Tygerberg area concentrated

into one safe haven,will come into fru-

ition before the onset of winter.

So says local ward councillor Ruan Ben-

eke, who is at the helm of a project called

Safe Spaces, with which he and local social

development partners hope to bring digni-

fied relief to the often unwelcome vagrants

of the northern suburbs.

Having the constitutional right to roam

freely, vagrants are often at the receiving

end from their roofedneighbours, because

of criminals lurking in theirmidst and caus-

ing havoc in their surrounds.

As if to emphasise the need for such an al-

ternative for street people, a group of at least

72 vagrants were evicted from their tempo-

rary safe sleeping space in front of the Bell-

ville police station last Saturdayon the orders

of a visiting police general. This came after

theywere given the right to sleep there by the

local police commander.

The Safe Spaces idea was first introduced

in December of 2014.

A Joint Operations Committee (JOC) com-

prised of role players to deal with the street

people issue, has since been established and

mandated to coordinate all joint efforts re-

garding street people in the northern suburbs

especially Bellville and Parow, but also

Goodwood, Durbanville, Kenridge and sur-

rounding areas.

Beneke and the social development arm of

the local city improvement district of Bell-

ville and Parow, the VRCID, as well as a local

Bellville charitable organisation, the Metro

Evangelical Services (MES), are steering the

Safe Spaces project. MES officially applied to

create Safe Spaces in July 2015.

But getting the Safe Spaces proposal before

subcouncil has been riddled with delays,

including a hold-up with advertising, fol-

lowed by a rezoning issue, then a problem

with the fact that the proposal was not ta-

bled in three official languages.

But Beneke is adamant that all these

problemswouldbe ironedoutby thewinter

of 2016. It is important to note that the first

application for a safe space was made by

MES for AJ West Street in July 2015.

The Tygerberg Property Management

office which serves the areas of subcoun-

cils 1, 3, 4, 6 and 7 and portions of subcoun-

cils 2, 5 and 15 went through very trying

times, he said. Not only did they lose

their departmental head, but staff numbers

were also affected

by retirements, res-

ignations and ma-

ternity leave. The

newly appointed

applicant then also

withdrew at a very

late stage and the

process had to be

started all over.

Beneke added the

report to be pre-

sented to subcoun-

cil has been drafted

and will serve on the agenda of 14 March.

This leaves us three and a half months

of the financial year to do some upgrades

to the building (proposed to be at the old

Scouts building in AJ West Street, behind

Bellville Library). We should have the

building operating well before the coldest

winter months.

The Citys Mayco member for social de-

velopment and early childhood develop-

ment, Suzette Little, said they would sup-

port an initiative like this.

The City works very closely with non-

profit organisations that provide the same

basket of services outlined in ourmandate,

including interventions for street people.

We would thus be more than willing to en-

gage the organisation on its objectives and

see how we can create partnerships that

will benefit street people in this area once

the centre is up and running, she toldTyg-

erBurger.

Bellville police also strongly support this

initiative.

Thiswould definitely bring some sort of

relief concerning the street people issue.

The sooner the building is operational, the

better, said Major Fienie Nimb, spokes-

person of this police station.

In their draft report, the JOC touted the

proposed safe space as a space where digni-

ty is restored, positive values are nurtured,

human potential is developed and hope is

possible ...

In practical terms, the space will mean

that the insufficient space available at night

shelters and street peoples ability to pay for

these services will be addressed.

There are more or less 500 street people

in the VRCID area and evenmore in the sur-

rounding northern suburbs. Bellville Night

Shelter can accommodate 54 people and

Elim Night Shelter can accommodate 70,

according to a statement issued by the JOC.

Another challenge to be tackled is the lack

of safe ablution servi-

ces for the chronic

homeless person who

is not interested in a

shelter accommoda-

tion, but who needs

protection from the

criminal elements,

as well as daytime job

seekers.

Visitorswill also be

given an opportunity

to integrate into

MESs God Restores

OurWorld (GROW)work rehabilitation pro-

gramme and other initiatives.

The proposed solution and motivation

for MES to create safe spaces within the

boundaries of the Northern suburbs, where

street people can sleep safe, is that they have

access to ablution facilities and social relief

and enter the development cycle.

Oneof ourmaingoalswouldbe to involve

each street person in a mentorship pro-

gramme with the initial aim of harm reduc-

tion and creating a sense of belonging and

the will or ability to respond to opportuni-

ties in a responsible way.

Visitors to the safe spacewill also have ac-

cess to storage facilities of their personal

documents, for instance their identification

document, any social grant cards and other

personal effects, on an ongoing basis.

The Safe Spaces building will also mean

a central point from which meals, blankets,

clothing and toiletries can be distributed re-

sponsibly, and fromwhere street people can

access crisis intervention, primary health

care and developmental services, according

to the JOC statement.

It will also mean a safe haven where day-

time street people can participate in work-

shops and other activities.

Roslyn Street was a hive of activity on Monday morning from where the cyclists and their

support crew started their journey.

Cycling for a cause

DESIRE RORKE

O

n Monday morning seven robust cy-

clists took to the road in Brackenfell

to end in Oudtshoorn next week after

a gruelling 470km journey.

Joining the cyclists from the Mountain

View Cycling Club from Goodwood Correc-

tional Services is JodyAdams, a youngman

with Down Syndrome.

Their mission: to raise money for the

cause and celebrate 40 years of awareness

of this condition in the Western Cape.

The Down Syndrome Association West-

ern Cape (DSAWC) was formed in 1976 to

provide support and services to people with

Down Syndrome (DS) and other similar in-

tellectual disabilities, as well as their fami-

lies.

Our programmes are aimed at improv-

ing their quality of life in order to help them

find their purpose in life. We want people

with DS to develop to their full potential to

take their rightful place in society as inde-

pendent and valued citizens, says organi-

sation spokesperson Liza Rossouw.

For the past 16 yearsDSAWChas been the

beneficiary of the money raised by the

MountainViewCyclingClub on their annu-

al cycle tour to Oudtshoorn.

The group of 10, which includes support

staff, will stop at various towns along the

route to create awareness for DS. An aspir-

ing singer in his own right, Jody will be

singing at some of the schools they visit.

This year is a very special year for

ie beplande rehabilitasiekli-

niek in AmandaGlen gaan n

topklas-fasiliteit wees, ge-

skoei op die Betty Ford-kliniek in

Los Angeles.

S s Pieter (Pine) Pienaar, eie-

naar vandie stukgrondwaaropdie

kliniek van meer as R25,8 miljoen

beoog word. Hy het verlede week

die vrese van inwoners probeer be-

sweer dat dit ondermeer n toeloop

van tikverslaafdes na die woon-

buurt sal meebring.

TygerBurger het verlede week

berig oor die bure se besware teen

die beplande kliniek op drie erwe

begrens deur Swan- en Soeteweide-

straat in Amanda Glen (Inwoners

teen kliniek in stil buurt, Tyger-

Burger 17 Februarie). Dit sal 15 pa-

sinte kan huisves.

n Aansoek om hersonering van

enkelresidensieel tot gemeen-

skapsone, asook konsolidasie en

regulasie-afwykings, om s n kli-

niek op die grond met n totale

grootte van 6 740 m toe te laat,

word tans deur die Stad Kaapstad

oorweeg. Die sluitingsdatum vir

kommentaar was Maandag.

Inwoners van die Hebronpark-

kompleks, waarvan byna al 19 in-

woners teen die kliniek gekant is,

het beswaar aangeteken.

Hulle en ander bure se besware

behels dat die kliniek nie geskik is

naby die Laerskool Gene Louw,

asook die pre-primre skool en na-

sorgsentrum Pikkie Paradys nie.

Hulle was ook bekommerd dat

daar n toeloop van die kliniek na

die nabygele superette en drank-

winkel sou wees. Nog n buurman

was bang dat die mense wat ont-

trekkingssimptome kry en selfs

selfmoord oorweeg, die rustig-

heid van die buurt sou skend.

Maar, s Pienaar, hul vrese is on-

gegrond. Geen detoksifikasie sal

op die perseel plaasvind nie, maar

elders, in plekke soos die Karl Bre-

mer-hospitaal, wat daarin spesiali-

seer, s hy.

Eers n vier tot sewe dae van de-

toksifikasie sal pasinte tot die kli-

niek toegelaat word vir n 28 dae-

program,wat gegrond is op die pro-

gram van die Alkoholiste

Anoniem-organisasie.

Geen pasint sal toegelaat word

om die kliniek te verlaat sonder sy

psigiater se toestemming nie, en

streng sekerheid sal geld. Die be-

staande heining om die perseel is

gelektrifiseer en daar sal voltydse

wagte op die perseel diens doen.

Pasinte sal ook nie oor hul eie

vervoer beskik nie, maar met n

minibus vervoer word, s hy.

Pasinte sal nie toegelaat word

om musiektoestelle, selfone, voer-

tuie of geld by hulle te h nie.

Besoektye sal ook net oor nawe-

ke wees as daar min verkeer is. El-

ke pasint sal maksimum twee be-

soekers mag ontvang.

Om sy bure vrese te besweer, het

Pienaar het aangebied om hulle op

sy koste met n bus na n soortgely-

kekliniek inKommetjie teneemen

vir hul middagete te koop sodat

hulle self kan waarneemsien hoe

s n kliniek bedryf word.

Volgens Pienaar het hy vasgestel

daar is n groot behoefte in die

noordelike voorstede aan n luukse

kliniek vir die behandeling van lig-

te depressie en middelafhanklik-

heid. Daar is baie families wat ge-

buk gaan onder die afhanklikheid

van n gesinslid, maar die opsies

vir behandeling is beperk.

Sulke families wil ook die iden-

titeit van diegene beskerm, en

waar mense uit die noordelike

voorstede verkies om n kliniek

soos Stepping Stones inKommetjie

in die suidelike voorstede te be-

soek, sal di kliniek waarskynlik

weer mense uit ander voorstede

lok, meen hy.

Dit is ook ons hooffokus om ons

pasinte se privaatheid te verse-

ker, en sal die bure so min as

moontlik van die pasinte op die

perseel bewus wees.

Pienaar het volgens hom intense

plaaslike en oorsese navorsing ge-

doenen talle sulkekliniekebesoek,

ook in Switserland.

Die intreevlakprogram van 28

dae sal sowat R100 000 kos. Hierdie

sentrum sal meebring dat daar in

goedkoper sentrums beddens be-

skikbaar raak vir pasinte opwag-

lyste, s hy.

Volgens Pienaar het hy talle op-

roepe en boodskappe op Facebook

ter ondersteuning van sy aansoek

ontvang.

Ek het begrip vir die bure se

kommer, maar die meeste van hul

besware is gegrond op n wanin-

druk vanwat ons gaan bied enwat-

ter mark ons voor voorsiening

gaan maak.

Die bestaande woonhuis sal die

grootste deel van die kliniek huis-

ves.Daar sal nog vier geboue opdie

grond, elk met drie eenhede, opge-

rig word.

Dit sal almal enkelverdieping

wees,met hul rugkante namybure

om so min as moontlik op hul pri-

vaatheid inbreuk te maak, s hy.

DESIRE RORKE

@dezzierorke

S

ome 52 000 counterfeit DVDs and CDs

were destroyed in Brackenfell on Fri-

day by the Films and Publication

Board (FPB).

The confiscated goods, connected to 46

criminal cases, were accumulated in the

Western Cape over a period of about four

months. Piles of counterfeit goods were

manually fed into a heavy duty shredder at

an industrial premises in Brackengate In-

dustrial Park.

In an interview with TygerBurger, the

FPB regional coordinator for Cape Town,

Clive Borman, explained the detrimental

affect the counterfeit market has on the

film and entertainment industry.

The industry loses millions of rand an-

nually.

The goods being destroyed here today

accounts for a R5 million loss; we do this

quarterly, he said.

Take for instance the latest Leon Schu-

ster film, Schuks! Pay Back The Money!

Before the movie was released in 2015,

there were literally hundreds of pirated

copies available on street corners in Cape

Town for between R10 and R20 a copy. Due

to the extent of the big scale piracy, local

producers, actors, artists and employees in-

volved in the production of this film suf-

fered losses, he says.

Why would consumers pay R200 for the

movie at say Musica or up to R55 to view

the movie only once at the cinema?

As long as there is a demand, the unend-

ing supply will continue, costing the indus-

try billions. The same applies to the count-

less video shops that have closed down in

Cape Town in recent years.

Consumers wont pay to hire it if they

can own it for half the price.

Sadly, the economic ramifications on the

country in terms of job losses are devastat-

ing. In recent years, says Borman, the ma-

jority of perpetrators selling pirated mate-

rial were foreigners coming into South Af-

rica looking to make a quick buck.

Although the FPB has its own compli-

ance unit, they dont have arresting rights,

and have to work with the police and Cape

Town law enforcement units.

Counterfeiters will download the movie

from the internet and go into mass produc-

tion at so-called counterfeit production

houses around the city. Its during clamp-

down operations at such houses where the

counterfeit items are confiscated.

In terms of the Counterfeit Goods Act,

perpetrators are fined up to R5000 per item

or a prison term for three years, or both.

In the event of a second or third convic-

tion, the fine in respect of each item can be

increased to up to R10 000 or five years im-

prisonment.

s jy nog nie die pantomime, Liewe

Heksie: Flower Power, gekyk het nie

of dalk weer wil kyk omdat dit een-

voudig fantastiese vermaak is, is dit nou jou

kans! Dit word in Maart as deel van die

Woordfees op Stellenbosch opgevoer en dit

beloof om joumet n glimlag te laat wat van

oor tot oor strek.

Toe dit verlede jaar vir die eerste keer op

die planke gebring is, is die akteurs elke

aand met n staande ovasie toegejuig.

Lof het uit alle oorde ingestroom, ook van

mede-akteurs en kunstenaars. Die produk-

sie is ook vir vier Fista-toekennings be-

noem. Liewe Heksie: Flower Power was

amazing! Soos om na n produksie in Lon-

den te kyk in die West End, maar in Afri-

kaans! Die show het die kind binne my, die

grootmens buitemy en die performer inmy,

alles bymekaar gebring. Ek het lanklaas so

happy by n show uitgestap! 10 uit 10, het

die sanger Jak de Priester ges. Die aktrise

en komediant Marion Holm het die volgen-

de kwytgeraak: Ek het s lekker gelag en

myself s geniet dat ek vanoggend sommer

in n spesiale goeie buiwakker gewordhet.

Volgens Margit Meyer-Rdenbeck, wat

die rol van Liewe Heksie vertolk, was die

publiek se terugvoer oor die pantomime n

riem onder die hart. Partymense het weer

enweer teruggekom. nMens sien elke keer

iets anders raak en lag opnuut vir die slim

teks en lawwe karakters.

Die geselskap van Liewe Heksie: Flower

Power is Margit Meyer-Rdenbeck (alias

Dowwe Dolla) in die titelrol; Chris van Nie-

kerk (mees onlangs in die kykNET-pro-

grammeVlug na Egipte enDie Boekklub) as

Karel Kat; Loukmaan Adams (saam met sy

broerEmoAdams sing endanshulle diew-

reld aan die brand in produksies soos Bro-

ther Love enMy Broertjie my Bra) as Geral-

dina die Geelheks; Crystal Donna Roberts

(Vallei van die Sluiers, Getroud met Rugby

en ook onlangs genomineer vir beste aktri-

se by die Goue Leeu-filmfees in Venesi

saam met Juliette Binoche en Kirsten Ste-

wardt as Kwaaitjie Kabouter en ander ka-

rakters; De Klerk Oelofse (beste akteur by

Aardklop 2014; genomineer vir etlike tea-

terpryse) as Blommie Kabouter, Kerrie en

Borrie en nog ander; Emile Minnie (kaba-

retis en ook die musikale regisseur van die

produksie) as die koninklike pianis; en Lu-

ca Human (Margit se sesjarige dogter) as

Matewis.

Anna Davel het die rol van die Fekonin-

gin oorgeneem by Zanne Stapelberg en Ca-

rel Nel het die rol van Koning Rosekrans

oorgeneem by Hannes van Wyk.

V Liewe Heksie: Flower Power word op 5 Maart om

09:00 en 12:00, 12 Maart om 09:00 en 12:00 en 13

Maart om 11:00 in die Stellenboschstadsaal opge

voer. Bespreek by Computicket.

Geraldina die Geelheks, gespeel deur Louk

maan Adams, was een van die groot treffers

tydens die vorige speelvak ... en wie kan nou

nie lief wees vir ons eie Liewe Heksie (Margit

Meer besonderhede sal tydens die

borgaansoek bekend gemaak word, s

Van Niekerk.

Die polisie gaan borgtog teenstaan.

VanNiekerkhet egter ges dat die inheg-

taken to rectify it as it was

really not viable or safe to

On 19 January between 8:00 and

8:30, my son was travelling

from Bellville to Durbanville.

He must have dropped his

wallet in the taxi without

realising it.

Mavis Billy noticed it on the

seat and decided not to give it

to the taxi driver or the sliding

door operator, saying she didnt

know in whose hands it may

end up.

His ID book, two bank cards

and motorbike licence together

with some cash (not a lot) were

in his wallet. She took the

initiative to call the bank and

quote the number on the card.

Someone from ABSA found

my information on the system

as his guardian and called me.

I was shocked when she

asked me whether I knew him,

because immediately I thought

something must have happened

to my son.

She gave me Mrs Billys

number and we fetched the

wallet in Nyanga the afternoon

with everything still in there.

We really want to thank Mrs

Billy for her honesty.

Ons is besig met familieregis-

skrywe is dat daar destyds in

Parow in die 1940s tot laat

1950s n kraaminrigting met

die naam van Amoria Nursing

Home was. In watter straat en

omgewing dit was, weet ons

nie. Ek (1949) en my neef,

Johan (1950), is daar gebore.

Nog iemand het na vore

gekom en ges hy is in 1955 ook

daar gebore. Hy het nog die

koerantberiggie van sy geboorte

wat sy ouers geplaas het.

na die Hollandse woord koe

nie eg Afrikaans nie. Dit kom

van Amerikaans: buck-key.

Buck is duidelik die dooie

D

aar is n sekere groep mense wat

diegene wat aan hul genade oorgele-

wer is, telkens reg bo-op die sny-

kant van die swaard laat, sonder dat jy

daar wil afklim. Di spesie het n naam;

hulle heet skoonmense.

Dis nie die oorneem van ouerlike pligte

in die teenwoordigheid van genoemde

ouer/s as dit by hul kleinkinders kom,

wat n mens moedeloos laat nie. Dis ook

nie die inmenging in besluite (wat hulle

eintlik op gn manier benvloed nie) wat

jou wrokkig laat nie.

Ja, jy kn seker vir skoonma vergewe

dat sy die heeldag suur gelyk het op jul

troudag; jy s die beter mens, oortuig jy

jouself.

Jys die een wat n werkbare, blywende

oplossing soek wat almal sal pas, en

sonder enige leedgevoelens sal laat. (Ook

die kleinkinders j kinders wat glo

hulle kan met moord wegkom en jy kan

nks daaromtrent doen nie, want Ouma

en Oupa gaan jou

ontken, maak dit

jou briesend kwaad

as jy oor jou

frustrasie wil

praat, en hulle

bloot stilbly en

eenkant toe kyk as

jy die onderwerp

probeer ophaal.

Dan, kort daarna,

kla jy oor nog n

skoonouer-voorval

teenoor n kollega.

Die gesprek raak n algemene een waar jy

en die kollega vir die ander kollegas sit

en wag om jul weeklikse vergadering

klaar te kry. Dan hoor di kollegas die

trant van die gesprek, en kort voor lank

begin jou perspektief spreukbeurt vir

spreukbeurt te verander...

Daar is n stel skoonouers wat leef,

hoor ons, wat hul kleinkind ses jaar laas

gesien het. Di kleinkind is agt jaar oud,

en sy ouma het sy hare n oomblik lank

deurmekaar gevryf by n begrafnis waar

sy hom toevallig raakgeloop het.

mag niks aantrek wat haar pragtige

tatoes sou afwys nie. Daar is ook die

skoonouer wat haar mishandelende seun

bygestaan het toe di haar skoondogter

Tour of Light ends

in delightful dinner

A

nyone can learn a thing or two about

social responsibility from the seven-

year-old Hannah Joubert of Eversdal

Primary.

Hannahsmother,Angela, saysher daugh-

ter was listening to the news on the way to

school when they heard that animals and

people were dying of thirst.

Hannah turned to look at Angela with a

horrified lookonher face and said: Wehave

to help, Mommy! Angela says.

It was in that moment that Hannahs wa-

ter collection project, Tear2Water,was born.

Her idea was to start by requesting each

child in her school to bring a sealed bottle

of water on a specific day, and thereafter to

move on to the next school.

Angela says the Pick n Pay supermarket

in the Tyger Valley Shopping Centre was

willing to collect any water collected at the

school.

Eversdal principal Henk Arangies gave

the go-ahead that the learners could leave

sealed bottles of water in front of the school

hall between 07:00 and 11:30 on Tuesday 16

February.

The Petals Express couriers in Parow

sponsored peak caps with Hannahs project

name printed on it, and they offered extra

trucks to remain on standby.

The Tears2Water project was truly bless-

ed, Angela adds.

Well, on 16 February the five-litre bottles

were stacked up all over in the front of the

school. The kindness of the parents was

overwhelming and the excitement of the

children infectious, butwhen the Spar truck

pulled in and started off-loading water, the

tears piled up, she said.

This was followed by another donation de-

livered per truck this time by Barlow

World.

Not long after, the Aquilla Water truck

pulled up to also off-load a very generouswa-

ter contribution all for the little seven-

year-old with the big heart, the proudmom

says.

As if to top off such a wonderful day, Glen-

garry Shopping Centres Pick n Pay deliv-

ereda truck loadofEaster eggs one for each

child in the school.

Angela calls this the perfect wrap-up.

Through her efforts, the little girl and all

the people and companies who helped her,

managed to gather 5 200 litres of water.

This will be delivered by Pick n Pay Tyger

Valley to the area designated as being most

in need.

What a lovely story of changing a thought

of compassion into a reality and how a sev-

en-year-old can lead all those grownups to

kindness.

Tick bite fever running high

days after being bitten.

Unfortunately, people

sometimes dont notice the

symptomsor dont even real-

ise their dog has had a tick.

We cannot overempha-

sise the importance of seek-

ing medical care quickly if

you suspect yourpethasbili-

ary fever, she warns.

FAW runs a basic dipping

and bathing programme in

Fisantekraal for township

dogs from the area. This

helps combat the problem

and makes the dogs feel

much more comfortable.

Andmost of the dogs real-

ly enjoy the attention, Da-

vies added.

She says the correctway to

remove a tick is to use a pair

of tweezers, grasp it behind

the head and carefully pull it

off without twisting, making

sure the head does not stay

behind.

Do not cover it with pe-

troleum jelly, used motor oil

or paraffin to smother it,

squeeze it or try to burn it off

with a match and do not

wash your dog in jeyes fluid.

This just causes the tick to

regurgitate the contents of

its stomach transmitting

whatever disease it may be

carrying straight into you or

the animal.

Once youve removed it,

clean the bite area and your hands

and kill the tick by placing it in al-

cohol or tick dip, or wrapping it in

tape and flushing it down the toilet.

Do not crush it with your fingers

if the tick is carrying rickettsia

(very small bacteria) and you have

any open skin, you could get sick,

Terra Bombela, a matric learner who lives in

the Fisantekraal informal settlement, is one

of the unpaid volunteers who assists with

dipping every weekend and in school

holidays. He is indispensable as he

basically runs the bathing container for us,

Jennifer Davies of FAW says.

A

n exponential growth in the

number of ticks, tick-infest-

ed animals and dogs suffer-

ing from biliary fever (commonly

known as tick bite fever) has

been reported recently.

Jennifer Davies, spokesperson

for Fisantekraal Animal Welfare

(FAW), says ticks are particularly

bad this year, probably due to heat.

Dogs are coming in with their

ears literally full of swollen ticks

and clumps of ticks on their bodies;

it is extremelyunpleasant for these

poor animals.

Some animals, especially pup-

pies, become anaemic if they have

severe infestations. Even just one

tick can cause biliary fever, which

is a potentially fatal illness. It is

caused by a tick-borne parasite,

which causes red blood cell de-

struction and damages organs like

the liver and kidneys.

Biliary cannot infect people so

you wont catch it from a sick dog,

but people can get a bacterial ill-

ness from ticks, she says.

Another illness called ehrlichia

can infect both animals andpeople,

but this seems to be less common.

Keep your pet free of ticks, and

check yourself and your pets after

walking in long grass, bushy areas

or farmlands. Also ensure the area

around your home and pets bed-

ding is tick free.

Signs of biliary in dogs include

lethargy, lack of appetite, pale or

yellowish gums and inner eyelids,

reddish urine and yellow faeces.

Symptoms usually appear 10 to 28

Davies warns.

V If youd like to volunteer with FAW to

bathanddipdogsonTuesdayorSaturday

mornings from 09:00 to 12:00, or would

like to assist them in any other way, send

MICHELLE LINNERT

@linnertmb

T

here seems to be no satisfactory an-

swers when it comes to money simply

disappearing from the accounts of Sas-

sa beneficiaries.

Every week TygerBurger and our sister

publications receive numerous complaints

from the public about money that mysteri-

ously finds its way out of their accounts.

While the amounts that disappear might

not sound likemuch, they are certainly a big

chunk out of the budgets of the elderly and

other vulnerable people who receive these

grants.

In one of themost recent cases, R280 disap-

peared from the account of an elderly man

from Bellville. He and his wife are in their

70s. Hiswife phonedTygerBurger in a panic,

as this amount was part of their meagre

monthly grocery budget.

The woman complained that, not only

were they treated poorly by the staff at the

Sassa branch in Bellville, but they were also

questioned about the probability that the

money might have gone to airtime purchas-

es. The couple do not own cellphones.

My husband sat there from 08:00 that

morning until 15:00, but they could not give

him any answers. They treated him like a

pig as if he were uneducated and poverty-

stricken, she said.

The woman behind the counter asked

him if he had bought airtime. He said no, he

didnt own a cellphone. Then she wanted to

know if he had bought electricity, and he

said no. We do not buy electricity using our

Sassa cards.

Every month we draw our full pension

and put the money into a little bag. Then we

work from that bag as we needmoney. I can-

not believe people would steal from us like

this.

Bellville police confirmed fraud cases

were being opened against Sassa.

Yes, there is money disappearing from

Sassa accounts. Yesterday (last Thursday) we

opened three cases of fraud made by elderly

people, said Bellville police spokesperson

Major Fienie Nimb.

The allegation is that money had been tak-

en from their Sassa account that they had not

given permission for, such as for airtime,

she said.

Any person who has received confirma-

tion from Sassa that money had been taken

from their account, without their permission,

can open a case at their nearest police station

for investigation.

No control

Sassa Western Cape spokesperson Shivani

Wahab said they were aware of money being

taken via electronic fund transfers (EFTs),

but that they had no control over what hap-

pens to grants once deposited.

Contractor Cash Paymaster Services (CPS)

handles these deposits.

Once themoney is deposited into the card,

Sassa has no control over how the money is

utilised.

She said that the card system meant EFT

debits could take place, but that these could

technically only take place after the money

has left Sassas hands, and payment has al-

ready occurred.

The only deduction which can take place

before the social grant is paid, is a deduction

for funeral policy premiums, on request of the

beneficiary, in terms of Regulation 26A of the

Social Assistance Act, 2004, she said.

Sassa is aware of the numerousEFTdebits

which are taking place, and has instituted a

number of actions, together with the Depart-

ment of Social Development (DSD), she said.

This includes a task team to investigate

how to protect beneficiaries from being ex-

ploited.

Many of the EFT debits are in fact not ille-

gal if itwere so, itwouldbe relatively easy

to stop the activity. However, the actions

are certainly immoral andnot supported in

any way by either the DSD or Sassa, Wa-

hab said.

She added there was a dispute resolution

mechanism in place to deal with the proc-

esses Sassa staff can follow to help grantees

when unauthorised EFT debits occur.

All social grant beneficiaries are sus-

ceptible to ... marketing of financial prod-

ucts, not only the elderly.Wehave received

numerous complaints fromcaregiverswho

receive the child support grant who have

also experienced this challenge, she said.

Sassa is doing everything it can to en-

sure that any social grant beneficiary who

complains about EFT debits off their social

grant is promptly assisted.

She said beneficiaries should not make

any financial commitments by responding

to cellphone marketing that encourages

them to key in numbers, or to agree tele-

phonically for the purchase of products.

Beneficiaries should also avoid taking

loans or policies, especially where they do

not understand the terms of the repay-

ments, she said.

Call Sassa helpline

She added beneficiaries should not use

their Sassa card as security to loans, re-

spond to cellphone SMSes offering prod-

ucts such as airtime, electricity and other

financial products, or authorise any deduc-

tions except for the single legislative and

Sassa approved funeral policy that

shouldnt exceed 10% of the entire grant

value.

To see the money being eroded through

financial service providers whose purpose

is financial gain, is extremely concerning.

V Beneficiaries can call the Sassa helpline on

0800 60 10 11, and should not go directly to CPS

or Grindrod Bank.

A

n era of Sunday afternoon

teas is coming to an end

this Sunday when the last

ever tea and cake event is pre-

sented at the Durbanville rose

garden.

This tea will quite suitably be

hosted by the Durbanville Gar-

den Club from 14:00 at a cost of

R25 per person.

After so many years of vari-

ous non-profitable organisa-

tions presenting Sunday after-

noon teas at the rose garden, an

internationally acclaimed tour-

ist attraction, it has now come

to an end after more than thirty

years as a result of the Western

CapeRoseSocietys leasenot be-

ing renewed by the City of Cape

Town.

The lease expires in May this

year.

The rose society started the

rose garden more than 33 years

ago in 1979 and rented the club-

house at a nominal fee per year.

The clubhousewas rented out to

several organisations, which

was administrated by the rose

society.

The rose garden one of only

two rose trial sites in the

southern hemisphere was

founded and laid out by the late

Linda Lindner, also known as

the rose queen of Durbanville,

and her husband, Dick, the then

chairperson of the Western

Cape Rose Society for many

years, in a joint venture by the

Western Cape Rose Society and

the Durbanville municipality.

According to Gordon Webb of

the Western Cape Rose Society,

also a member of the Durban-

ville Garden Club, the tradition

of Sunday afternoon teas will

now come to an end.
