    DESPAIR:MANWAITS OVERNIGHT TO BE IN FRONT

    Pensioner

    dies in

    Sassa line

    DESIRE RORKE

    @dezzierorke

    A

    Cape Town pensioner diedwhilewait-

    ing in line at a Sassa service point in

    Kraaifontein last Wednesday morn-

    ing.

    Willem Jaars (63), alongwith hiswife,Ma-

    grieta, had just spent the night outside the

    Scottsdene Youth Centre in order to get a

    front row position in the hall the next morn-

    ing, sayshisheartbroken sister, SarieDavis,

    from Phoenix.

    The doors had just opened and they both

    scurried in to get a chair in the front.

    Minutes later he died in this very chair.

    First time applicant

    Hehad just eaten apiece of bread and tak-

    en a sip of the coffee they had brought with

    them, before he slowly slumped down next

    to her.

    His wife called out to him in vain.

    White foam appeared around his mouth,

    but he was dead, says Davis.

    According to her, her brother was a first-

    time pension applicant.

    Everybody in the area visits this office to

    apply for government grants and the lines

    are unbelievably long. It is always jam-

    packed and often scores of people are sent

    home when the day comes to an end before

    they can reach the front of the line. There

    is just not enough staff to help everybody.

    Davis believes this is what prompted the

    elderly couple to spend the night outside the

    office.

    He was declared dead when the Kraaifon-

    tein police arrived at the Youth Centre.

    When I got there later that morning, the

    hall was still crowded. My brothers body

    was carried to the adjacent kitchen where

    it was neatly covered with a sheet.

    According to his wife he made no com-

    plaints of pain or discomfort during the

    night. It came as such a shock to her and she

    is devastated.

    Action needed

    A post mortem was performed, of which

    the family is awaiting the results.

    Ward councillor Grant Twigg was in-

    formed of the incident shortly afterwards.

    People come as early as possible to be

    helped and the problem persists from week

    to week. Something will have to be done,

    he said.

    According to Shivani Wahab, spokesper-

    son forSassa in theWesternCape region this

    service point, which is linked to the Eerste

    River office, is opened once aweekwhere ap-

    proximately 200 clients are served.

    There is often a high influx of clients and

    in turn, a high demand for services, at this

    point, she said in a statement to TygerBur-

    ger on Monday.

    All screening and applications for social

    grants are done in line with the Sassa stan-

    dardised business processes,meaning a one-

    day turnaround.

    All clients are assisted

    All clients who access Sassa contact

    points for services are assisted on the day

    and it is not necessary for any client to have

    to sleep over at any Sassa contact point in

    order to access services.

    DESIRE RORKE

    @dezzierorke

    I

    t is how you view a student that

    makes the difference in terms of

    what they can do, notwhat they cant

    do, said Professor Jonathan Jansen, vice-

    chancellor and rector of the University of

    the Free State, in his keynote address at the

    Rachels Angels Trust Youth Mentorship

    Symposium last week.

    Held at the Stellenbosch Institute for Ad-

    vanced Study, the symposiumwas attended

    by relevant role players, which included

    university staff and school principals from

    Kraaifontein schoolswho formedpart of the

    Rachels Angels mentorship programme.

    A Media24 initiative, the programme is

    aimed at Grade 11 and 12 learners at Berna-

    dino Heights and Eben Dnges high schools

    to enable them to improve their academic

    ability and life skills to ease the transition

    from school to university. This was also the

    main theme of the day.

    Speaking on the topic, Jansen, renowned

    as a leading voice in higher education, iden-

    tified the primary problem in the South Af-

    rican school system.

    Teacher expectation is lower than

    learner ability. Thus, a childs intellectual

    ability will remain relevant as long as the

    teachers expectation of that child remains

    low. Research has proven it over and over

    when you make a kid feel dumb he will

    live up to that expectation, he said.

    Jansen is of the opinion that effective

    mentorship is the keywhen transitioning to

    university.

    For mentorship to be effective, a holistic

    approach need to be followed tomeet the in-

    tellectual, emotional and physical well-be-

    ing of young people, he said.

    He shared critical lessons about mento-

    ring young people within the South African

    context. For Jansen, it is vital that we, as

    a nation, increase our ability to recognise

    the potential that all young people have.

    Wifred Taylor, principal of Eben Dnges

    High School in Kraaifontein, agreed.

    We do not easily see the potential of all

    our youth. Often we have judgmental atti-

    tudes based on our personal racial growth

    path. Some people need to be treated differ-

    ently because of their unique challenges

    and barriers.

    The ten panellists in two sessions repre-

    sented a range of educational institutions

    and shared best practices and knowledge in

    effective mentoring.

    Mentoring creates a caring environment

    and space for us to move forward as a na-

    tion, said Dr Vincent Bosman, and educa-

    tion and ethics specialist from theCapePen-

    insula University of Technology.

    Professor Charl Cilliers, retired director

    of Stellenbosch Universitys Centre for Stu-

    dent Counselling and Development said

    mentorships should be embedded in schools

    where teachers should be coached to act as

    mentors.

    Just as with leadership, mentorship

    starts with oneself, said Adri Marais, co-

    founder and chief executive officer of TSi-

    BA.

    She said at TSiBA mentors are seen as

    travelling partners.

    If you want to walk fast, walk alone; if

    you want to go far, walk together, ex-

    plained Marais.

    The power of the mentor needs to be un-

    derstood it can make or break the mentee.

    Not everyone canbecomeamentor especial-

    ly when dealing with vulnerable adoles-

    cents. This was the caveat of ELouise Botes

    whorecently completedherMasters degree

    in industrial psychology at Stellenbosch

    University.

    Her thesis focused on the development of

    a youth mentor competency model and the

    skillset required by youth mentors within

    Rachels Angelss mentorship programme.

    Gloria Noemdoe, one of the educators at

    Steenberg High School who attended the

    presentation, said the panel was so inspir-

    ing and showed us that we all speak the

    same languagewhen it comes to thewell-be-

    ing of our children and society.

    In her concluding remarks, Prof Rachel

    Jafta, chairperson of the Rachels Angels

    Trust, encouraged all the stakeholders to

    keep moving forward and think of practical

    ways to reach out to more young people.

    Share the knowledge you have gained

    from this symposium and also celebrate

    small victories along the way, she urged.

    . The Rachels Angels Trust was estab-

    lished in 2006whenRachel Jafta, economics

    professor at Stellenbosch University; Koos

    Bekker, managing director of Naspers; and

    the late Professor Jakes Gerwel, formulated

    the concept for mentorship to learners of

    previously disadvantaged communities in

    the Western Cape.

    Its not what they cant do

    According to the clients spouse, he

    was unwell during the course of the

    week, she said.

    Sassa says clients who are unwell

    need not access a Sassa contact point

    for services.

    A home visit can be scheduled at

    the nearest contact point, where Sas-

    sa will ensure that the request for the

    home visit is honoured and the social

    grant application can be conducted at

    the clients home.

    Sassa will keep on monitoring the

    service point to make sure that no

    sleepover occurs andwill make avail-

    able additional staff andanadditional

    day, should the officials not be in a po-

    sition to serve all clients on a particu-

    lar day, she said.

    It is unfortunate that the client

    passed away at the service point last

    week and our condolences go out to

    the family of the deceased.

    W

    hile the Study Xpress tutor centre

    found to be illegally operating as

    a school is lashing back at the

    Western Cape Education Department

    (WCED), three distressed parents laid char-

    ges of fraud at the Durbanville Police Sta-

    tion last Thursday evening.

    Study Xpress is refuting the findings of

    the investigation conducted by the WCED

    that the centre is illegally being run as a

    school.

    The centre had about 80 children from

    Grade R to matric.

    It is not knownhowmanyof these are still

    there as several parents took their children

    out of the centre and many teachers re-

    signed since January.

    The centre makes use of the private Im-

    pak curriculum and is accredited as an Im-

    pak centre.

    The cost for a Grade 10 learner is around

    R3200 per month.

    After an on-site inspection on Monday 14

    March, the department found that Study

    Xpress, which is only allowed to assist chil-

    dren home-schooled full-time by their par-

    ents, is illegally presenting full-time school-

    ing to the children.

    Fraud charges

    The department instructed that all learn-

    ing and teaching activities at the Study

    Xpress tutor centre should cease at the lat-

    est by Saturday 30 April as the school was

    not registered as an independent school

    with the provincial education department

    and first had to register as such.

    They can then only resume classes from

    January next year.

    Three parents Natasha Rheeders, who

    also worked as a facilitator or teacher at

    the tutor centre, Ren Herbst and Soritha

    Lombard laid charges of fraud against the

    centre as they claim Study Xpress falsely

    led them to believe that their children will

    be properly schooled andoffered thema ser-

    vice that was not delivered.

    They are also claiming back the money

    they have already paid to the centre al-

    most R60 000.

    The tutor centre on the corner ofWelling-

    ton Road and De Villiers Avenue has come

    under fire after some parents took their

    children out due to poor performance.

    Sub judice

    Amother also toldTygerBurger that a 20-

    year-old facilitator told a class of Grade 3

    children not to abuse alcohol as she was

    dancing on a table once, under the influ-

    ence, fell off the table and broke an ankle.

    This is not the sort of stories you want

    a teacher to tell your Grade 3 child, the

    mother said to TygerBurger.

    In an email to these distressed parents, a

    departmental official stated that the depart-

    mentwas contactedbyStudyXpresss attor-

    ney and that he had met with the State law

    advisor, who had been tasked to formulate

    a response to the lawyer.

    He said as the matter was sub judice, he

    was not in a position to elaborate further.

    I shall, however, inform you once the

    State law advisor responds to Study

    Xpresss attorney.

    In amemorandum regarding the legal po-

    sition of academic centres by Van der Mer-

    we Attorneys to parents of Study Xpress,

    which was also forwarded to TygerBurger,

    it was stated that such centres do not need

    to register with the education department

    as a school as the centre is not rendering

    official education.

    Van der Merwe Attorneys also wrote in

    a letter to parents that Study Xpress con-

    forms to the provisions stipulated in the

    memorandum and is legally conducting the

    business of an academic centre.

    Moreover, our client is not required to

    register as a school with the Western Cape

    Department of Education.

    Legal battles loom

    S

    mall tourism businesses have been

    given a boost through Cape Town

    Tourisms Board Development

    Fund.

    The fund selects two small businesses

    annually to receive a R50 000 cash prize

    as well as access to business develop-

    ment and networking opportunities.

    Started three years ago, the fund is

    made up of themoney that would be paid

    to board members. They decided to in-

    stead serve on the board for free and do-

    nate their would-be earnings to develop-

    ing small businesses in the tourism in-

    dustry, with the focus on historically

    disadvantaged individuals, explains

    Cape Town Tourism chairperson Enver

    Mally.

    Entrepreneurs have lots of people

    telling them why their idea wont work,

    but they dont get a lot of support. Entre-

    preneurs need to be encouraged. Its a

    tough road to walk with a lot of knocks

    along the way. Entrepreneurs and small

    businesses are the obvious solutions to

    job creation, he says.

    Turning Point B&B in Kuils River,

    owned by husband and wife Doris and

    Isaac Manini, as well as Maboneng

    Township Arts Experience, which lo-

    cates and adopts township homes as

    home galleries where local artists can

    display theirworks to visitors andwhere

    the women of the home can earn extra

    income, were named recipients at an

    event on Wednesday 30 March.

    Started in Alexandra, Johannesburg,

    by artist Siphiwe Ngwqenya, the organi-

    sation was born out of a need to exhibit

    his work. After being told he would have

    to wait two years for space in a gallery,

    Ngwqenya started exhibiting in his own

    neighbourhood.

    The organisation now focuses on Cape

    Town and surrounds in the areas of Lan-

    ga, Gugulethu and Kayamandi, and one

    of the key aims is to develop a new and

    diverse audience and platform for arts

    and culture in Cape Town.

    Its inspirational to see someone com-

    ing from the dusty streets of the town-

    shipandbecomingcaptains of industry,

    Mally says.

    However, this year the fund added a

    surprise announcement, with a third

    beneficiary selected and funded by The-

    be Tourism.

    The third award was given to Lungi

    Sotyingwa, a former domestic worker in

    Sea Point, who was encouraged by her

    employer,MarijkeFrijtersto, to start her

    own guest house.

    Her shack chic bed and breakfast

    opened in Khayelitsha in 2010, but was

    closed after a devastating fire in 2014.

    Sotyingwa and her partners rebuilt and

    opened their doors again in September

    last year.

    Sotyingwa plans to use the money to

    train as a tour guide, to offer additional

    services to her clients, as well as to com-

    plete the rebuilding of the guest house.

    Shealsohopes to support local communi-

    ty projects as the cash prize is accompa-

    nied by business skills coaching, train-

    ing opportunities and mentorship.

    Our collective experience someof us

    have been in tourism for decades is val-

    uable. It may not feel like it, but we have

    learned through experience and trial

    and error, and this we can put to good

    use by offeringwisdom, insights and tips

    to small businesses seeking to make it in

    this competitive environment, Mally

    says.

    Small businesses

    givenmajor boost

    A 90 square metre award-winning vegetable

    garden that provides more than 10kg of food

    a day to augment the provincial school feed-

    ingprogramme, is just one example of the ini-

    tiatives that set apart Cavalleria Primary

    School in Scottsdene, Kraaifontein.

    In the sad tradition of disadvantaged com-

    munities in the Cape, Cavalleria School is

    under-resourced by comparison with accept-

    ed norms.

    Nevertheless, its 1169 learners achieve a

    high academic standard and the schools

    sporting and dramatic performance is some-

    thing that can always be celebrated.

    This week, the school celebrated the open-

    ing of its newR5.85millionArchwayFounda-

    tion hall one of 67 provided to similar

    schools in the Western Cape over the past 10

    years.

    Principle Hurshele Carolissen says arriv-

    ing at the school in 2010, he found Cavalleria

    in need of resurrection.

    We lived in hope of success for our efforts

    and those of the children, in a dismal situa-

    tion and eventually, hard work achieved re-

    sults, he says.

    The security, comfort and sheer pleasure

    of the hall are also sharedwith the local com-

    munity and surrounding schools. Funds can

    be raised fromevents at thehall and fromhir-

    ing fees, he says.

    John Matthews, group CEO of Garden Cit-

    ies, says principals with vision are those

    who fully take advantage of the enormous

    value of a school hall.

    Building of the halls is done with proceeds

    from the foundation alone, or together with

    funds from the Western Cape Education De-

    partment (WCED).

    According to Matthews, more than R3 bil-

    lion at todays value has still to be spent to

    provide halls for Western Cape schools that

    need them a task, he says, that will take

    more than 100 years to complete.

    V Corporate donors who would like to participate in

    the programme can call Matthews on 021 5587181.

    School celebrates new hall

    The Miggie Challenge will once again take

    place onWednesday 27April at thePaarl dam

    to raise funds and awareness for cystic fibro-

    sis and organ donation.

    This family event with the only rule that

    you must have fun, is hosted by the Cape

    Town Angling Club (CTAC), of which 85% of

    its members are based in the northern sub-

    urbs.

    The Miggie Challenge was started in 2014

    as a fun event to celebrate the 21st birthday

    of Stefan Miggie King from Brackenfell, a

    well loved angler in the fishing world who

    suffered from cystic fibrosis. He passed away

    two months after the Miggie Challenge was

    founded.

    CTAC has since made the competition an

    annual event to honour the life and positive

    spirit of Stefan, says Miggies father,

    Malcolm King, also the chairperson of the

    CTAC.

    This year the funds raised are in aid of

    Damian Wolf (19) from Fish Hoek, who was

    diagnosed at the age of 13 with cystic fibrosis

    and an adrenal tumour.

    Cystic fibrosis is a life-threatening genet-

    ic disease that causes persistent lung infec-

    tions and progressively limits the ability to

    breathe. In the lungs, themucus clogs the air-

    ways and trapsbacteria leading to infections,

    extensive lung damage and eventually, respi-

    ratory failure. In the pancreas, the mucus

    prevents the release of digestive enzymes

    that allow the body to break down food and

    absorb vital nutrients. There is currently no

    cure for cystic fibrosis, says King.

    Cystic fibrosis patients have a short life

    expectancy with many prolonged stays in

    hospital making them put their life on hold.

    With theMiggie Challenge we aim to give

    a beneficiary the funds that could help them

    make at least one of their dreams come true,

    King says.

    The Miggie Challenge is a one of a kind

    fishing event with back-to-front rules and its

    very own fancy dress theme.

    The only rule of the day is to have fun. An-

    glers are encouraged to break the rules, steal

    each others fish and fish however they

    please, he says.

    Donated prizes are handed out at the end

    of the day for categories such as the smallest

    fish and the best dressed.

    In conjunction with Synchronize Systems,

    the Daniel and Friends Fund hosted its an-

    nual CPR course at the Alta du Toit School

    for learning disabilities in Kuils River.

    Synchronize Systems provides occupa-

    tional health and safety training courses to

    companies and families in Cape Town.

    Trainer Michelle Phillips showed no

    mercy, and every participant had to earn

    their certificate, by practising on the differ-

    ent sized dummies provided, ranging from

    babies, children to adults. She emphasised

    how important it is to know the emergency

    number of the different ambulance services

    byheart, saysKateLaurie fromDaniel and

    Friends.

    The morning was attended by private in-

    dividuals and groups from schools and

    crches, along with parents involved with

    Daniel and Friends.

    As these parents all have special needs

    children, most with rare medical condi-

    tions, the CPR course proved to be of utter-

    most importance to them. You can never

    say it cannot happen to you.

    Strange objectmystifies resident

    Image 1

    DESIRE RORKE

    @dezzierorke

    I

    s it a plane, is it ameteor or is it a satellite?

    Or could it perhaps be the International

    Space Station (ISS)?

    Brackenfell resident Martin du Toit was

    mystified by the strange light he spotted in

    the night sky last Friday.

    It was late night, possible 23:00, when I

    looked out my window, which has a pano-

    ramic view on Table Mountain. We spotted

    a light travelling pretty fast and very high

    up in the night sky. It was too high to be a

    Boeing and it travelled from east to west

    across the sky, he says.

    The object, says Du Toit, resembled a sil-

    ver marble ghoen, but appeared to flicker

    different colours.

    He grabbed his camera with a 42 optical

    zoom lens and captured the image.

    Zooming inyoucould clearly see themar-

    ble ghoen form but on the photo a darker

    spot appears in the middle and a green line

    on the edge, he says.

    It did not appear to be a normal satellite

    as it wasnt flying dead straight, but rather

    with a sudden sharp turn to the left and then

    right again.

    Green fringe

    Physicist and astro-photographer Dr Bru-

    no Letarte took a look at the photos and

    made an educated guess.

    The photos are very out of focus with a

    long exposure (one second), but looking at

    the first image it could verywell be the inter-

    national space station, he told TygerBur-

    ger.

    The first image he says is in focus, unlike

    the second one that is clearly out of focus

    making it impossible to speculate.

    The green fringe on the edge of the topic

    indicates chromatic aberration, which is

    typical of an out of focus image of a light

    source, he says.

    According to information obtained from

    theNasawebsite, the space station looks like

    an aeroplane or a very bright star moving

    across the sky, except it doesnt have flash-

    ing lights or changes direction. It will also

    bemoving considerably faster than a typical

    aeroplane and is so bright it can also be seen

    from the centre of a city. Then, just as sud-

    denly as it appeared, it disappears.

    The ISS circles the Earth every 90 min-

    utes. It travels at about 28 000 kilometres per

    hour, which gives the crew 16 sunrises and

    sunsets every day. In themore than 15 years

    that people have been living on board, the

    station has circumnavigated the Earth tens

    of thousands of times.

    Reflecting the light of the sun

    According toNasa, all sightingswill occur

    within a few hours before or after sunrise

    or sunset. This is the optimumviewing peri-

    od as the sun reflects off the space station

    and contrasts against the darker sky.

    The space station is visible because it re-

    flects the light of the sun the same reason

    we can see the moon. However, unlike the

    moon, the space station isnt bright enough

    to see during the day... as such, it can range

    from one sighting opportunity a month to

    several a week, since it has to be both dark

    where you are, and the space station has to

    happen to be going overhead, says Nasa.

    Viewing opportunities in Cape Town are

    possible from now until 21 April.

    V Nasas Spot the Station programme lets you sign

    up to receive alerts to let you know when the ISS

    will be visible from your location anywhere in the

    world. You can get alerts via email or text message.

    Typically, alerts are sent out a few times eachmonth

    when the stations orbit is near your location. Visit

    https://spotthestation.nasa.gov to sign up or view

    Cape Town learners will be highly pre-

    pared when stepping into the exam room

    in June, following the return of the Grade

    11 to 12 isiXhosa set-work play Amaza, an

    Artscape youth development skills produc-

    tion to be held from Wednesday 18 May to

    Thursday 2 June at the Artscape Theatre.

    Endorsed by the Western Cape Educa-

    tion Department and support from the HCI

    Foundation, Amaza forms part of the Art-

    scape educational youth development pro-

    gramme that aims to promote social cohe-

    sion, good citizenship and empowerment

    through the arts.

    The high quality production, by ZS Qan-

    gule, is in its sixth consecutive season and

    is aimed at Grade 11 and 12 isiXhosa

    learners from the greater Cape Town area.

    The two hour play will once again be pre-

    sented as a full stage production that will

    also appeal to the general public.

    The purpose of the educational pro-

    gramme is to assist grade 11and12 learners

    academically by presenting plays which

    are taught as literature on a theatre stage,

    therefore putting it in its intended setting,

    saysMarlene Le Roux, chief executive offi-

    cer for Artscape Theatre.

    We will also be introducing learners to

    theatre and drama production of a high

    quality, thereby building the audience of

    the future, she adds.

    Directed by Thokozile Ntshinga, Amaza

    is a 17 cast member thriller set in a rural

    village in the Transkei. A police detective

    stationed in Port Elizabeth is investigating

    a private and personal matter. This case

    takes him back to the village where he and

    thewomanhemarried came from.His visit

    there coincides with the double funeral of

    a couple that were mysteriously murdered

    in Johannesburg. Adultery, deceit and lies

    are just some of the ingredients of this in-

    triguing tale. His investigation takes him

    to Johannesburg, then to Swaziland and

    back to Port Elizabeth. As he is trying to

    solve the mystery, he stumbles across the

    evidence he was originally looking for.

    A

    20-year-oldmanwasarrested following

    the hijacking of a cigarette delivery ve-

    hicle in Brackenfell on Thursday.

    According to information provided to Tyg-

    erBurger, the vehicle was making deliveries

    at Fairbridge Shopping Centre when the hi-

    jackers struck.

    A gold colour Honda Ballade with four

    unidentified armed suspects suddenly

    stopped next to the vehicle. Two of the sus-

    pects got out, one pointing a firearm at the

    driver. They bundled him into the back of the

    delivery vehicle and drove off, a police

    spokesperson said.

    They then stopped after a short distance

    along William Dabs Road where a white

    Isuzu LDV, Toyota Camry and the gold Hon-

    da, occupied by an unknown number of sus-

    pects, surrounded the vehicle.

    They emptied the delivery vehicle of its

    contents an undisclosed amount of ciga-

    rettes and fled the scene, leaving behind the

    driver and his vehicle.

    He managed to flag down help from a pri-

    vate security vehicle in the vicinity of the

    mall, who patrolled the area.

    The Isuzu was spotted and chased down

    by the security vehicle, leading to the appre-

    hension of one suspect, said police.

    The other suspects managed to get away

    on foot, but several boxes of cigarettes were

    recovered.

    The suspect will appear in the Kuils River

    Magistrates Court in due time facing char-

    ges relating to hijacking.

    DESIRE RORKE

    @dezzierorke

    O

    m as n blinde persoon op radio uit

    te saai, is net ng n uitdaging wat

    Bok Radio se nuwe Spitstyd-omroe-

    per, Bonita Blankenberg, met geesdrif aan-

    gepak het.

    Blind is blind, skattebolle, dit gaannooit

    verander nie, het sy koelkop geskerts in

    reaksie op n gesprek oor wat die politieke

    korrekte terme vir blinde persone deesdae

    is. Jy kan nie enige gestremdheid sugar

    coat nie. Dit is wat dit is, en jy leef daarmee

    saam. Daar is nie n boksie waarin ons as

    blindes hoef te pas nie. Jy vat elke nuweuit-

    daging aan soos dit kom. Gewoonlik dink

    mense dat blindemense nie noodwendig al-

    les kan saam doen nie en dis nie noodwen-

    dig waar nie. Ek kan byvoorbeeld nie n

    Boeing vlieg nie, maar kan jy? My drome

    het nog nooit grense gehad nie. s sy.

    Bonita (34), n joernalis van beroep, is on-

    langs uit 15 kandidate gekies as die nuwe

    mede-aanbieder vandie radiostasie sehuis-

    toegaan-program,nadatKarlienKruger die

    stasie in Maart verlaat het.

    Die kandidate het vooraf almal n paar

    werkswinkels in die radio-uitsaaiwese

    meegemaakwaarnahulle elkeen nkansge-

    kry het om een middag saam met Heinrich

    du Plooy uit te saai. Bonita was verreweg

    die luisteraars se gunsteling.

    Om Karlien se skoene vol te staan is nie

    maklik nie, maar dit is n absolute voorreg

    om die geleentheid te kry. Ek moet myself

    elke nou en dan knyp om seker te maak ek

    droom nie. Dat die mense regtig dapper ge-

    noeg was ommy op die lug te sit, s Bonita

    weer laggend. Dis een kenmerk van haar

    wat opvallend is sy lag baie.

    Dis juis di sin vir humor wat haar kop

    en skouers bo die ander kandidate laat uit-

    staan het, meen Wimpie van der Sandt,

    hoof- uitvoerende beampte van Bok Radio.

    Haar aansteeklike laggie het luisteraars

    verower en daarby saam was haar unieke

    veggees n inspirasie vir baie, s hy.

    Een luisteraar het die volgende op Bok

    Radio se Facebook-blad geskryf. Sy is feno-

    menaal! Sy het geen bang haar op haar kop

    nie, dis hoekom ek haar gekies het.

    Sy het ook die beste geklink op die lug

    en haar persoonlikheid het duidelik deur-

    gekom en dit is waaroor dit gaan in die ra-

    dio-uitsaaiwese. Sy is beslis n aanwins vir

    ons, s Van der Sandt.

    Daarby saam, voeg hy by, besit sy ook n

    bre verwysingsraamwerk deurdat sy inte-

    ressante gesprekke kan voer.

    As n blinde persoon op radio is daar na-

    tuurlik wesenlike uitdagings, maar Bonita

    laat dit so maklik en moeiteloos lyk.

    Sy beweeg blitsvinnig haar vingers oor n

    eienaardige boksie op haar skoot terwyl sy

    die middag se verkeersverslag lees.

    Van der Sandt verduidelik: Daar is baie

    tegniese aspekte in radio wat sig vereis,

    soos om voortdurend monitors te lees om

    by te bly. Nuus en verkeersflitse kom vin-

    nig deur en moet ook afgelees word.

    Bonita ontvang die verslae vanaf haar

    selfoonwat aan n tipe braille-toestel gekop-

    pel word. Ek noem dit sommer my braille-

    tablet. Soos die inligting deur die

    foon kom, word dit ast ware in

    braille vertaal, wat ek dan met

    my vingerpunte kan lees, ver-

    duidelik sy.

    Dis soms bietjie moelik as die

    inligting in Engels deurkom en

    ek dit blitsvinnig in Afrikaans

    moet vertaal, s sy.

    Sy lag weer. Hoe sou jy nou n

    woord soos multi-vehicle pile-up

    inminderas n sekondevertaal?

    Bonita is blind gebore en het in

    Hanover Park grootgeword.

    Daar waar hulle eers skiet en

    dan vrae vra, s sy.

    Sy het haar skoolloopbaan by

    dieAthlone-skool vir blindes vol-

    tooi en haar daarna as joernalis

    bekwaam by die Kaapse Skierei-

    landse Universiteit van Tegnolo-

    gie (KSUT).

    Sy het verlede jaar terug ver-

    huis Kaap toe nadat sy vir sewe

    jaar in Johannesburg werksaam

    was as n sosialemedia-fundi by

    n bekende maatskappy.

    n Vriend het my vertel van

    die geleentheid by Bok Radio en

    ek het dit met albei hande vasge-

    gryp. Hoekom nie? Ek voel pas-

    sievol oor wat ek nou doen en dis

    n groot nuwe uitdaging. Ek het

    baie om te leer!

    LYNNE RIPPENAARMOSES

    F

    ive-voice vocal group Track Five is set

    to treat audiences to an evening of jazz

    when they launch their fifth CD, Love

    you Madly, at the Drostdy Theatre in Stel-

    lenbosch on Saturday.

    One of these voices is baritone singer, di-

    rector, composer and arranger Gavin Ful-

    lard, from Durbanville.

    Growingup inStutterheim in theEastern

    Cape, Fullard spent his evenings listening

    to the sounds of Big Bands like the Glenn

    Miller orchestra, drifting from the old

    record player on the verandah of his family

    home. This music, together with the influ-

    ence of his sisters both pianists would

    be the catalyst to a career in the music in-

    dustry that has spanned four decades.

    Today the 83-year-old Fullard spends his

    dayswriting arrangements tomesmerise

    and delight audiences, he says for his vo-

    cal groupTrack Five. The group, whichwas

    established in 1995, will be joined by the Ra-

    mon Alexander Trio, Saxit and Engela Ful-

    lard on flutes when they introduce their

    new release on Saturday 16 April.

    Our latest CD has a diverse range of mu-

    sical content and features tracks suchas the

    10-voice combination of Track Five and Ar-

    thur Pietersens A5 vocal group. It also in-

    cludes a few classical sounds, with two orig-

    inal compositions, a couple of Afrikaans

    songs and several well-loved jazz classics,

    explains Fullard.

    While Fullard may be the only member

    left of the original Track Five group, he has

    beenperformingwith fellowmembersMon-

    ique Hellenberg, Michelle van Zyl and Ar-

    thur Pietersen for several years, with Am-

    ber Kruger recently joining the group.

    While most vocal groups undergo

    changes in personnel, the character of the

    music defining each group prevails, he

    says, recalling the various singers he has

    performed with in the past. Many former

    members of Track Five have gone on to pur-

    sue solo careers.

    Over the years, Track Fives repertoire

    has included well-known jazz and contem-

    porary songs and romantic ballads and,

    says Fullard, is influenced by the sounds of

    great vocal groups like Four Freshmen,

    Manhattan Transfer, Take 6, NewYorkVoi-

    ces, the Real Group and Accent.

    Before becoming a full-time musician,

    Fullard travelled and taught overseas and

    formed and performed with a vocal quartet

    in the UK and a double mixed quartet of 15-

    year-olds in Utah in the USA. After nearly

    38 years of teaching mathematics and sci-

    ence at high school, Fullard started his first

    vocal group, Tangerine, in 1975.

    Today Track Five has five albums under

    their belt and has performed at various ve-

    nues in and around Cape Town.

    Recently the group was invited to give a

    private performance at a 40th birthday par-

    ty of a familymember ofCraigHinds, leader

    of the popular SouthAfrican pop rock band,

    Watershed, where they had the privilege of

    performing a special song with the band.

    Track Fives future looks really bright

    and promising. We recently won the vocal

    group category of theTalentAfrica regional

    (Western Cape) competition and look for-

    ward to the national finals at the end of

    April here in Cape Town.

    It annoys me as an animal

    lover that when the circus

    comes to town, the very next

    day one receives in the post

    box a letter from some organi-

    sation condemning them for

    using animals in their shows.

    The circus has on average ten

    wild animals which cannot be

    rehabilitated in the wild

    anyway.

    We have in our area an

    organisation called the Karoo

    Animal Protection Society who

    is desperately looking for help

    to rescue thousands of dogs,

    cats, etc. in the rural commu-

    nities of SA and do so on a

    volunteer basis. All monies,

    time etc. go to the animals.

    Maybe the municipality

    should consider a license fee

    for non-spayed bitches only,

    that would encourage owners

    to do the right thing. The

    funds collected should be

    directed to the various animal

    welfare organisations. This

    may reduce the unwanted

    animal population and the

    need to exterminate so many of

    mans best friends.

    Go onto their website at

    www.kaps.org.za and read

    about them. Some of the

    stories and pictures will bring

    tears to your eyes.

    The circus at least feeds and

    takes care of their animals.

    They should be the least of

    ones worries.

    Regarding Snail mail gets a

    new meaning, TB, 6 April. I

    have made a record of Christ-

    mas mail timings that arrived

    here in Kuils River over the

    last Christmas period of 2015.

    I compiled this list because

    in Kuils River on 2 January

    UK letters late, but

    no one investigates

    sleep. Kyk maar hoe sit die

    jong voertuigbestuurders in hul

    uitoefen as iets skielik gebeur?

    Kan hulle die volle ryvlak

    van die pad sien? Soms lyk dit

    Die berig in TygerBurger,

    Bellville school found to be

    illegal, 6 April, verdien

    kommentaar. Toe ons ons seun

    verlede jaar by Dots Learning

    Centre ingeskryf het op aanbe-

    veling van sy knap en wyd

    gerespekteerde sielkundige, was

    dit duidelik by Dots Learning

    Centre gestel dat hulle besig

    was om te registreer by die

    Wes-Kaapse Onderwysdeparte-

    ment. Om te voldoen aan al die

    WKOD se standaarde, neem

    egter tyd (wonder hoeveel

    staatskole voldoen wel hieraan)

    en is ongelooflik tydrowend.

    Dots Learning Centre het

    aan my seun n hawe gebied

    wat die sogenaamde beste

    Elsen-skool in die land nie eens

    kon doen nie. My seun vorder

    vir die eerste keer en is

    gelukkig, want unieke leerbe-

    hoeftes word aangespreek. Hy

    kom smiddae stokflou huis toe

    want daar word gewerk. Dots

    Learning Centre het 5 jaar

    gelede begin met 4 leerders en

    het intussen gegroei tot onge-

    veer 70 leerders. Een ouer met

    besware verteenwoordig beslis

    nie die res van die ouers nie en

    die proses van registrasie

    verdien nie die etiket van

    onwettig nie.

    ROELOF COERTZEN

    Epos

    Besware van ouer

    nie di van almal

    Is daar nog

    gentlemen

    en ladies?

    So n paar dae gelede op TV s n ou oom

    vir iemand: I must leave now, a gentle-

    man never keeps a lady waiting. Sjoe,

    dink ek, die oom het darem goeie manie-

    re. Dit laat my dadelik wonder of daar

    nog gentlemen en ladies is en of mense

    nog goeie maniere het. Daardie maniere

    wat jy by jou ouers en grootouers geleer

    het. Goeie maniere soos Emsie Schoeman

    sn.

    As ek n verskriklike veralgemening

    kan maak, reken ek dat mense ouer as 35

    of 40 nog goeie maniere geleer is, maar

    die jongklomp sukkel daarmee. Ek s

    glad nie dat alle ouer mense goeie

    maniere het of alle jongmense slegte

    maniere het nie, maar dit lyk of goeie

    maniere nie noodwendig meer aan die

    orde van die dag is nie.

    Goeie maniere beteken nie net om

    asseblief en dankie te s nie dit is veel

    meer. Goeie maniere beteken ook om

    bedagsaam en galant te wees; om mense

    met respek en

    hoflikheid te

    hanteer en om te

    verseker dat mense

    gemaklik voel in n

    verskeidenheid van

    situasies.

    Dit beteken onder

    meer om jou

    kollegas te groet

    wanneer jy by die

    werk opdaag en

    wanneer jy weer

    die pad vat, en om

    jou base (maar ook

    jou Klase) te

    respekteer. Mense

    met goeie maniere gooi ook nie n

    telefoon in die ander persoon se oor neer

    nie, al is jy hoe kwaad. Mense met goeie

    maniere skree ook nie op ander mense

    nie. Dit beteken ook dat jy nie met kos in

    jou mond praat nie (al sien jy dit op TV)

    en dat jy jou selfoon wegpak wanneer jy

    n ete-afspraak bywoon of gaan fliek.

    Mense van n ander kultuur of geloof

    (veral kollegas) waardeer dit baie wan-

    neer jy hul geloof en kultuur respekteer

    by die werk en dit wys dat jy goeie

    maniere het. Iets wat sosiaal aanvaarbaar

    is by n braai saam met vriende n die

    rugby, is nie noodwendig sosiaal aanvaar-

    baar by die werk se jaarafsluiting nie.

    Goeie maniere is ook om nie die

    middelvinger te wys vir die motoris wat

    voor jou insny nie en ook om nie daardie

    motoris te wees nie. Dit beteken ook om

    te stop by n stopteken en nie te jaag

    wanneer die verkeerslig na oranje toe

    oorslaan nie. Goeie maniere sal jou ver

    neem; en dit beteken ook dat jy nie

    mense laat wag nie, al is niemand n

    gentleman of n lady nie. Ben Burger
