EPWP PROGRAMME: COMPLAINTS ARISE
Workers under fire
RICHARD ROBERTS
@richardjohn_rj
W
orkers who form part of the govern-
ments Expanded Public Works Pro-
gramme (EPWP) came under fire this
week during a sitting of subcouncil 21.
Most councillors at the meeting onWednes-
day expressed their unhappinesswith regards
to the quality of work and workmanship of
EPWP workers.
Wilma Brady, councillor for ward 17 which
includesMalibuVillage, ForestHeights, Rose-
dale, Greenfields, Kleinvlei and Eerste River,
saidwith regards to cleaningupof the commu-
nities, EPWP workers and their way of work
is a major challenge.
I have requested over and over to meet the
contractor working in ward 17 to find out if
they have a plan as to how they clean the
ward, Brady said.
According to he, the workers often only
clean certain roads. In her ward its mostly
London Way and Keerom Street. Then they
are gone. Inside the area very little work gets
done, Brady added.
She said EPWP workers get paid to work at
the end of each month but contractors dry
out the subcouncil.
EPWP workers only have one set of bags
to work with per day. I am not saying they
should fill 100 bags, but weve had several
meetings and were not getting anywhere,
Brady said.
Councillors were discussing the jobseekers
report and EPWP projects when the matter
was raised.
Rina Simons, proportional councillor,
shared Bradys sentiments. I often drive
through wards 14 and 17 and its never clean.
These workers do not do the programme
justice. The residents are complaining.
Whats worse is that the EPWP people who
clean the area often live there themselves, Si-
mons said.
Themba Honono, councillor for ward 108
which includesMfuleni, FountainVillage and
Fairdale, also had a list of issues.
In my area the streets are very dirty, espe-
cially with construction going on in the ward.
This is a health risk and Iwant to call on those
responsible to clean it up to do so, Honono
said.
Majidie Abrahams, proportional council-
lor, said if the City of Cape Town manages to
minimise illegal dumping, it will be easier to
clean up these areas.
Alta Du Toit learners Vernon Treu, Adriaan Groenewald, Zaheer Links, Micah Sisusa and Andry Cloete have challenged their school principal, Marius
Erasmus, to a cycling spinoff. They are trying to cycle for a week leading up to the Absa Cape Epic in which Erasmus will be taking part. They
aim to cover a distance of 647km, which Erasmus will be covering during the Epic in a bid to raise money for their school. Story on page 2.

Two suspects have been held,
questioned and released in con-
nection with the murder of the
Metro police officer who was
gunned down last week.
Constable Ben Koopman (53), a
father of two, was shot and killed
in front of his house in Stratford
Avenue, Devon Park in Eerste
River last week Monday.
He was dressed in uniform and
was on his way to his patrol vehi-
cle when two men approached
him in the street and attacked
him. His service pistol and hand-
held radio were stolen.
Footage about the incident
emerged this week and reported
on in the media. The video of
about 84 seconds shows how the
attack played out.
The two suspects, both dressed
inwhite T-shirts and black pants,
can be seen fleeing the scene.
Following the news of the at-
tack, a reward of R50 000 has been
offered by the City of Cape Town
for information leading to the ar-
rest of the two suspects.
Kleinvlei police spokesperson
Captain Florina Muller said two
suspects were held at Kleinvlei
for further investigation in the
case, but had to be released
again.
The matter is still being inves-
tigated.
A memorial service for the
slain officer will be held today
(Wednesday) starting at 11:00 at
the OR Tambo Hall in Khayelit-
sha.
Koopman will be laid to rest on
Saturday in Eerste River.

The first batch of matriculants at Soneike
High School were recently motivated to
reach for their dreams and encouraged to
pursue what they set their minds on.
The motivational talk was done by mem-
bers of a Cape Town based organisation,
Dream Factory.
Co-founder Laurian Nortje said Dream
Factory specifically visited SoneikeHigh as
its a brand new school and because the
school is celebrating their first year having
matriculants in its five-year existence.
Dream Factory went to visit the school
andmotivate the learners for thenewyear,
Laurian said.
Dream Factory was founded in 2011 by
Laurian and her partner, Lusanda Gwayi.
We started in 2011 and reached just over
30 000 youth in the Western Cape as well as
in KwaZulu-Natal.
The organisation also has a bursary fund
which currently sends four children to
school. We are so excited about our brand
new partnership project launching in
March in collaboration with Google, called
CS Clubs, where 10 schools will be intro-
duced to coding workshops for free, Lauri-
an said.
Dream Factory visits Soneike High School
Laurian Nortje, cofounder of the Cape Town based organisation Dream Factory, speaks to
matric learners at the Soneike High School in Kuils River during a visit to the school.
T
heAbsaCapeEpicmight be too strenu-
ous and the Tour de France a distant
dream, but for now learners at a spe-
cial school in Kuils River are taking on an
equally satisfying cycling challenge a
spin-off against their principal.
Several learners at the Alta du Toit
School took to their cycling seats and start-
ed peddling last week, challenging school
principal Marius Erasmus to a marathon
cycle.
The challenge between Erasmus and the
schools physically disabled cycling team
and other learners is also a fundraising ef-
fort to help raise money to have a tartan
track constructed at the school.
The learners will be cycling on bicycle
rollers to see if they can cover the distance
of 647kmwithin the weeks prior to the Cape
Epic, challenging the distance Erasmus
must cover during this competition this
year. The Epic takes place from 13 to 20
March. Erasmus is part of the USN team
competing in it.
The competition between the learners
and Erasmus will also coincide with the cy-
clists preparation for the Nedbank Nation-
al Games for the Physically Disabled.
By Friday 19 February the learners had
already covered 254km.
The Alta du Toit School offers tuition to
learners with special educational needs.
All of our learners are intellectually
challenged. They followanadapted curricu-
lumwhich focuses on life skills. A large per-
centage of the learners have multiple disa-
bilities including physical disabilities, ce-
rebral palsy, epilepsy and visual and
hearing impairments.
Sport is one of themost important activi-
ties at the school as it addresses many life
skills areas and in many instances gives
purpose to life, Erasmus said. The school
has 360 learners aged 6 to 18 years.
A large number of our learners reach
great heights in their sporting endeavours,
including provincial and national colours,
saidErasmus. To this end, the funds raised
through the Epic project will be allocated to
the development of the school grounds for
sport purposes, for example a 3 to 4 lane tar-
tan track for training purposes.
Readers can support the learners by spon-
soring a donation towards the project.

Learners challenge principal
School principal Marius Erasmus, who will be
taking part in the Absa Cape Epic next month,
giving his all to give the young ones a run
or in this case a cycle for their money.

n an attempt to help curb cases of assault
especially on women and children
Kuils River police are planning to take
more action against illegal shebeens operat-
ing in the area.
It is believed that shebeens and taverns
selling liquor late into the night contribute
significantly towards these crimes.
Last week Constable Tshepang Hoffman,
sector 2 commander, assured residents of
Kalkfontein and Sarepta that more will be
done to stop assaults taking place.
He was addressing a group of about 25
people at the sector 2 crime forum meeting
held at Kalkfontein Primary School last
week Thursday when he spoke of more
raids planned for these illegal establish-
ments.
Assault cases are still amajor concern for
the police who received a reported 32 cases
in January.
Assault with the intent to do grievous
bodily harm of which there were 19 report-
ed cases for January, Hoffman said, mostly
occur in Kalkfontein followed by Sarepta.
Most assaults occur over weekends and
are mostly caused by an abuse of liquor,
Hoffman said.
He said the police are now looking at in-
creasing their raids at shebeens and closing
them over weekends.
We are looking at overcoming this is-
sue, he said.
Someresidents also complainedabout the
drug houses in Kalkfontein and gangs oper-
ating in the area while others complained
about thugs harassing and robbing people
especially when on their way to work.
Other issues highlighted at the meeting
was once again the lack of police visibility
and shortage of staff on duty during shifts.
In hismonthly crime report Hoffman also
gave an overviewof crime, the commonare-
as in which it occurs and the days it occurs
most.
In it, he mentioned that just one murder
was reported in the sector for January as
well as one incident of rape and attempted
rape.
A total of 19 robberies were reported
along with 13 cases of malicious damage to
property and 19 housebreakings in sector 2,
which includes Kalkfontein, Sarepta, Ma-
bille Park and Brantwood.
Sector chairman Martin Burke encour-
aged residents to attend the sectormeetings
held each month.
The next sector meeting takes place on
Thursday 17 March and all residents are
welcome to attend.

n avid nature conservationist and
Miss Earth South Africa ambassador
Andrea von Gunten, originally from
Durbanville, is planning to cycle 109km in
the upcoming Cape Town Cycle Tour to col-
lect one tree per kilometre covered.
Andrea, who attended primary and high
school in Durbanville, now lives in Kenil-
worth and challenges cyclists and support-
ers to donate or sponsor a tree for this cause.
Thiswill bemy third Argus that Im rid-
ing and I thought instead of just riding it,
why not ride it for a cause, she says.
All the trees will be planted at schools in
underprivileged communities, community
centres, old age homes or any place in the
Western Cape that needs greening and up-
liftment.
This project is about bringing communi-
ties and people together and I want to be an
example that you can take any ordinary
event and turn it into something extraordi-
nary. Small initiatives like this can turn into
something great and thats what I hope to
achieve with this, she says.
She will be cycling with her father, Peter
von Gunten, and her sister, Melanie. My
dad has always been my inspiration as this
is his 15th Cape Town Cycle Tour. He is the
reason my sister and I are cycling today.
Only indigenous trees such as Wild Olive,
Grevias, Virgilia Oroboides and fruit trees
will be suitable. Suggestions of schools or or-
ganisations that are in need of greening are
also welcome.
V For more details, call Andrea on 084 017 5507.

R
esidents in the Esibaneni informal
settlement in Mfuleni have been
warned not to take the law into their
ownhands, but rather report criminal cases
to the police.
A public participation meeting was held
in the area last week where residents were
warned not to participate in mob justice.
Captain Nomathemba Muavha, Mfuleni
police spokesperson who chaired the meet-
ing, said about 85 people attended the meet-
ing on Wednesday which was held on an
open piece of land in Ntendane Street.
Theywere informed that the policewere
there to hear how they experience our ser-
vice and also to find out how the police can
serve them better, Muavha said.
A crime overview for the area for Janu-
ary and February was also given.
The residents made mention that they
have a problem with crime in their area.
From 02:00 in the morning their houses
are broken into and their belongings are
stolen. They complained about poor re-
sponse time by the police and urged us to
patrol the area, Muavha said.
The community was urged to continue to
report criminal activity in their area, and
not take matters into their own hands.
They were made aware that when they
report cases, those statistics speak to the
province, national office and the govern-
ment. They were warned against taking the
law into their hands, as that is a crime in
itself. The residents were also told that two
wrongs never make a right, Muavha said.
Muavha gave the assurance that, should
there be sufficient evidence against a per-
son for having a hand in the mob justice
which led to the death of another person,
that personwill be arrestedandwill face the
wrath of the law.
Public warned
againstmob justice
Parents of small children in Mfuleni have
been encouraged to enrol their children in
daycare centres rather than locking them
up and leaving them alone at home.
This word of advice was given to parents
by the local police during a visit to one of
the daycare centres in the area last week.
Mfuleni police officials were addressing
parents at the Jabulani Daycare Centre in
the Bardale informal settlement on Friday
where they alsowarned parents not to leave
the children in the care of their siblings.
When the children are at crche, it mini-
mises the risks of themgoingmissing, said
police spokesperson Captain Nomathemba
Muavha.
The Jabulani Daycare Centre has 44 chil-
dren aged three months to five years.
Ntombekhaya Sifuba, owner of the new
crche, said she noticed many children on
the streets who are left unattended and de-
cided to use her home and start a crche.
Sifuba, who loves children, went on to
study Early Childhood Development which
made it easier for her to start the crche.
She also often helps mothers who have to
leave their children for a day when they
have to attend job interviews.
The police visited her (Sifuba) and hand-
ed over some toys, books to read, puzzles
and blankets. We also had a talk on safety,
Muavha said.
The daycare centre is still in need of cots,
tables and chairs.

Residents should get water wise

C
ity of Cape Town mayor, Patricia de
Lille,wantedmore thanbirthdaywish-
es last week when she visited the Sto-
dels Garden Centre in Kenilworth she de-
manded water wisdom.
There was a buzz at the busy centre last
Wednesdaywhen she arrived and customers
welcomed her by singing happy birthday
with gusto, but there was a serious side to
her visit.
The visit in Kenilworth was to promote
water wise gardening, an initiative by the
City that will see water saving ambassa-
dors employed in all garden centres around
theWestern Cape to help customers learn to
save water and reduce their water bills.
With dams currently at 42%, environmen-
tal awareness is at the top of the mayors
agenda in terms of water saving after the an-
nouncement of Level 2 water restrictions in
December last year with a concomitant 20%
increase in the water price.
De Lille feels now is the time to kick-start
anactionplan to savewater, startingby talk-
ing to gardeners about waterwise garden-
ing. During this informal visit she chatted
to customers about water wise gardening
and promoted ways to save water not just
for the Western Cape and South Africa, but
also for the planet.
This waterwise initiative is considered a
partnership between the City of Cape Town
and Stodels Nurseries.
The mayor also used her visit to highlight
some important strategies.
It is vital that we start changing peoples
behaviour in terms of water usage and edu-
cating themabout globalwarming, the rami-
fications of water shortages such as in-
creased food and water prices and the very
real possibility that if we dont reduce water
consumption, this resource could run out.
People must be informed of the current
water restrictions, the reasons they have
been put in place and the importance of ad-
hering to them, she said.
Nick Stodel, MD of Stodels Nurseries, was
delighted the mayor chose Stodels as the
venue for this drive about water saving and
waterwise gardening, which is also high on
his agenda.
As part of this water saving programme
the Expanded Public Works Programme
(EPWP) at the City is utilising unemployed
citizens to act as water saving ambassadors
within various garden centres in the West-
ern Cape.
The EPWP has a large database of unem-
ployed people and any subcouncil can enlist
them to carry out short term work.
Stodels Nurseries has been running a
campaign since the beginning of February
to educate gardeners about waterwise gar-
dening including the use of waterwise
plants, water saving granules, mulching to
stop evaporation, adaptinggardens to the ex-
istingwater restrictions and generally offer-
ing tips about savingwater andmaintaining
a beautiful garden.
Thewater restrictions are set to continue
and it is up to each of us to contribute to a
reduction in consumption not only to save
on water bills, but to save this precious re-
source and our planet, explained De Lille.

T
he police are investigating an explo-
sion in Blackheath which rocked a su-
permarket last week.
The explosion at the Austinville Super-
market in Vineyard Road, was the second
similar incident to hit the store.
Last year the FNB ATM inside the store
was targeted. The ATM was replaced by a
Capitec ATM.
On Monday Kleinvlei police spokesper-
son Captain Florina Muller said this ma-
chinewas also destroyed in the latest explo-
sion during a suspected burglary. The inci-
dent occurred in the early hours of Friday
19 February at about 02:00.
Four unknown suspects fled from the
scene moments before the police arrived,
Muller said. An unknown amount of cash
was stolen as well as cash from the tills.
The ATM machine inside the store was
bombed. The suspects gained access
through the front door using a crow bar,
Muller said.No suspects have been arrested
and a case of burglary and malicious dam-
age to property has been opened.
The case has been transferred to the Di-
rectorate for Priority Crime Investigation
(DPCI) for further investigation. In Septem-
ber 2014 the same store was also robbed by
six armed men.
TygerBurger reported on the event in
whichanundisclosed amount ofmoneywas
stolen from the premises.
No shots were fired during the attack and
no one was injured.

A Wesbank teenager was arrested over the
weekend after the police found a home-
made gun in his possession.
Mfuleni police spokesperson Captain No-
mathemba Muavha said on Monday the
teenager (19) was arrested after he started
acting suspiciously.
A black home-made firearm with two
live rounds was found in possession of the
teenager who started to act strangely when
the police approached him in Westering
Street, Wesbank.
The suspect was arrested and charged
with the possession of a prohibited firearm
and illegal ammunition, Muavha said.
The police requested the community to
come forward with information that could
assist them in apprehending suspects that
have illegal or unlicensed firearms in their
possession, Muavha said.
There will be a monetary reward should
the police find the firearm and successfully
arrest the suspect, Muavha explains.
Apart from this arrest the police also
managed to arrest a further 26 suspects on
various other charges.
Muavha said several operations were
held to apprehend these suspects. The char-
ges vary between theft, assault, drunk driv-
ing, the possession of dangerous weapons,
the possession of prohibited firearms, do-
mestic violence and the possession of drugs.

Roslyn Street was a hive of activity on Monday morning from where the cyclists and their
support crew started their journey.
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 Jody Adams, 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.
TheDownSyndromeAssociationWestern
Cape (DSAWC) was formed in 1976 to pro-
vide support and services to people with
Down Syndrome (DS) and other similar in-
tellectual disabilities, and their families.
Our programmes are aimed at improving
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 independ-
ent and valued citizens, says organisation
spokesperson Liza Rossouw.
For the past 16 years DSAWC has been the
beneficiary of the money raised by the
Mountain View Cycling Club 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.
This is done through visits to schools,
churches and corporates along theway,who
all participate and support this event.
An aspiring singer in his own right, Jody
will be singing at some of the schools they
visit.
This year is a very special year for
DSAWCaswe are celebrating our 40th birth-
day. The cycle tour will be the first of many
events during the year.Wewant to thank all
the schools, businesses and individuals who
have participated over the past 16 years.
Without your support the success of this an-
nual cycle tour would not be possible. And
of course we also want to thank the Moun-
tain View Cycle Club for their commitment
and continuous support with this annual
event.
Rossouw invites the public to participate
and join in the 40-year celebrations through-
out this year.

As jy nog nie die pantomime, Liewe Heksie:
Flower Power, gekyk het nie of dalkweerwil
kyk omdat dit eenvoudig fantastiese ver-
maak is, is dit nou jou kans! Dit word in
Maart as deel van die Woordfees op Stellen-
bosch opgevoer en dit beloof om jou met 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 omna n produksie inLonden
te kyk in die West End, maar in Afrikaans!
Die show het die kind binne my, die groot-
mens buite my en die performer in my, alles
bymekaar gebring. Ek het lanklaas so happy
by n show uitgestap! 10 uit 10, het die san-
ger Jak de Priester ges. Die aktrise en ko-
mediant Marion Holm het die volgende
kwytgeraak: Ek het s lekker gelag enmy-
self s geniet dat ek vanoggend sommer in
n spesiale goeie bui wakker geword het.
VolgensMargitMeyer-Rdenbeck,wat die
rol van Liewe Heksie vertolk, was die pu-
bliek se terugvoer oor die pantomime n
riem onder die hart. Party mense het weer
en weer teruggekom. n Mens sien elke keer
iets anders raak en lag opnuut vir die slim
teks en lawwe karakters.
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.

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 num-
ber 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.
South Africa, there is still
hope for us with honest people
like her in our country.

was. In watter straat en omge-

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
besluite in elk
geval veto.)
Maar as jy dit
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.

maand aan een of ander skoonouerprojek
deurgestuur moet word. Die een wat
binnekort gaan trou, vertel hoe haar
toekomstige skoonma vir haar klere vir
n familietroue kom uitkies het, want sy
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
verneuk het mt die skoondogter se
suster. En soos jy luister, dink jy: Bly

date the new raised road
surface, and the way in which
it was reinstalled.
This manhole cover is part of
the main sewerage system in
the area. During the removal
not much care was taken to
prevent pieces of brick and
mortar from falling into the
pipe system.
My main concern is the
manner in which the heavy
cast-iron manhole frame was
reinstalled. The frame was
precariously balanced on lumps
of asphalt to maintain the final
finished height for the final
finished road level. The new
asphalt was cast around the
cast-iron manhole frame and
tamped into place to hold the
manhole in place. No cement,
concrete or brick was used at
any time.
It is my opinion, with the
continuous use of the road by
much traffic, both heavy and
light, the pieces of asphalt
holding the manhole cover in
place will soon crumble and the
manhole will collapse, creating
a hazardous road surface. Also
the amount of debris now
constantly falling into the
system will lead to complicated
blockages of the sewerage
system.
I have not directed this letter
to the municipality or the City
of Cape Town, but am airing
this concern publicly as a form
of protest as to the quality of
subcontractors that are render-
ing a service to the municipali-
ty.

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.

S
ome 52 000 counterfeit
DVDs and CDs were de-
stroyed in Brackenfell on
Friday by the Films and Publica-
tion Board (FPB).
The confiscated goods, con-
nected to 46 criminal cases, were
accumulated in the Western
Cape over a period of about four
months. Piles and piles of coun-
terfeit goods were manually fed
into a heavy-duty shredder in
Brackengate Industrial Park.
In an interview with Tyger-
Burger, the FPB regional coordi-
nator for Cape Town, Clive Bor-
man, explained the detrimental
affect the counterfeitmarket has
on the film and entertainment
industry.
The industry losesmillionsof
rand annually. The goods being
destroyedhere today account for
a R5 million loss; we do this
quarterly, he said.
Take for instance the latest Le-
on Schuster film, Schuks! Pay
Back The Money!
Before the movie was re-
leased in 2015, there were literal-
ly 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 pro-
ducers, actors, artists and em-
ployees involved in the produc-
tion of this film suffered losses,
he says.
Why would consumers pay
R200 for themovie at sayMusica
or up to R55 to view the movie
only once at the cinema? And
therein lies the problem, says
Borman.
As long as there is a demand,
the unending supply will con-
tinue, costing the industry bil-
lions. The same applies to the
countless 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 ramifi-
cations on the country in terms
of job losses are devastating.
In recent years, says Bor-
man, the majority of perpetra-
tors selling pirated material
were foreigners coming into
South Africa looking to make a
quick buck.
Although the FPB has its
own compliance unit, they
dont have arresting rights,
saysBorman, and therefor they
have to work in joint opera-
tions with the police and Cape
Town law enforcement units.
Counterfeiters will down-
load the movie from the inter-
net and go into mass produc-
tion at so-called counterfeit
production houses around the
city.
Its during clampdownoper-
ations at these houses where
the counterfeit items are con-
fiscated.
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 case of second or
third convictions, the fine in re-
spect of each item can be up to
R10 000 or five years imprison-
ment.

P
roperty owners will now
be able to view the latest
valuation for 2015 of their
property.
The City of Cape Town has
completed the General Valua-
tion Roll (GVR) for 2015 and it
was published on its website
last Friday.
According to a media release
by the City, property owners
will soon receive an official no-
tice in the post or via email, ad-
vising them of the 2015 valua-
tion of their property or proper-
ties.
The City produces a GVR
once every three years.
The percentage increase or
decreaseon thevalueof apartic-
ular property or properties
does, however, not necessarily
equate to the percentage in-
crease or decrease in future
rates payments, IanNeilson, the
Citys executive deputy mayor
said.
The Citys GVR is based en-
tirely on the market value on 1
August 2015. The City Valuer
makes use of a computer model-
ling programme called Comput-
erAssistedMassAppraisal (CA-
MA), which uses sales data, aer-
ial imagery and other property
information such as the proper-
tys location, size, number of
rooms, outbuildings, general
quality and property view to de-
termine the market value of a
property.
The results are then reviewed
by professional property valu-
ers and adjusted if necessary.
There is no involvement bypoli-
ticians in the determination of
property values, nor may they
be involved in dealing with any
objection to a valuation, wrote
Neilson.
Market value or not?
As the Citys GVR is based en-
tirely on the market value on
1 August 2015, for the purposes
of any objection to a valuation,
the percentage change from the
last valuation is not relevant,
nor is the impact on the rates
bill. The only consideration is
whether it is the market value
or not, Neilson continued.
The rates adjustment will be
tabled at the end ofMarch at the
start of the public participation
process on the Citys budget.
Property rates based on the
GVR for 2015 will be billed from
1 July.
As soon as the rate-in-the-
rand has been tabled, property
owners will be able to use the
rates calculator on the website
to determine the rates payable
on their property as from 1 July
this year.
Property valuations are car-
ried out regularly to ensure that
property owners pay a fair
share of the total rates income
required to operate the City,
wrote Neilson.
Property rates contribute to
various municipal services
which are for the benefit of all
residents. This includes disas-
ter management services,
roads, traffic and street lights,
and themaintenance of commu-
nity facilities and public spaces.
Property valuations are not
done to chase a surplus or to
make money out of ratepayers.
The budget needed for thesemu-
nicipal services is carefully cal-
culated and property rates con-
tribute to the budget, he wrote.
If a property owner disputes
the valuation of their property,
a well motivated objection in
which the property owner must
prove that themarket valuation
is incorrect, may be submitted
by no later than 29 April to the
City Valuer.
Objectionsmay also be lodged
via the Citys e-services or resi-
dents portal.
Property owners can view the
latest GVR for 2015 by visiting
www.capetown.gov.za/proper-
tyvaluations. They are also en-
couraged to visit the Citys pub-
lic inspection venues to view
their property valuation and to
engage with staff on the infor-
mation that the City has at its
disposal, which includes the
sales data for a particular area.
The public inspection venues
in the northern suburbs are the
conference room at the Bellville
municipal building (next to
Northlink College, opposite
Sanlam), the Brackenfell coun-
cil chambers and theminor hall
at the Parow Civic Centre.
The venues are open from
08:15 to 15:45 on week days.

Police have appealed to firearm
owners to apply for renewal at least
90 days before the expiry date.
According to a statement from
national police, the purpose of re-
newing a firearm licence or permit
is todetermine if a person still com-
plies with the provisions of the
Firearms Control Act of 2000 and
the Firearms Control Regulations
in order to ensure effective control
and responsible firearm and am-
munition ownership.
All applications for the renewal
of a licence or permit to possess a
firearm are subject to the provi-
sion that the applicant must be in
possession of a valid and relevant
competency certificate. Any per-
son who wishes to renew their li-
cence to possess a firearm, to deal
in firearms, to manufacture fire-
arms or to conduct business as a
gunsmith, must at least 90 days
before the expirydate of the licence
apply for the renewal of the appli-
cable licence as well as a renewal
of the competency certificate.
Whereas some of the require-
ments are that the applicant must
be a South African citizen or a per-
manent resident, be above 21
years, be gainfully employed, and
more, it is advisable for the appli-
cant to get in touch with the desig-
nated firearm officer at their near-
est police station for clarity on any
part of the information or to visit
the SAPS website. All applicants
are required to produce a compe-
tency certificate for that category,
identity document or proof of per-
manent residency, and proof spe-
cific for that category of licence/s.
Renewal process starts
Voters participating in the upcom-
ing municipal elections will be
able to register to vote on theweek-
end of 5 and 6 March at their local
voting station between 08:00 and
17:00. The election is set to take

Koes, sister, want ons stry oor jou k
MICHELLE LINNERT
@linnertmb
R
aai, raai: wat is nie regtig n
koek nie, pronk met n straat
in Kaapstad wat daarna ver-
noem is, bestaanuit variantewaar-
van een se wortels diep inMaleisi
begrawe l, en het n stropie mt
of sonder anys wat daardeur
loop?
nKoeksister, natuurlik!Of, as jy
dan nou van die Kaap is en die spe-
seryagtige een verkies, n koesis-
ter sonder die tweede k (di
heerlike eetding het immers Penz-
straat in die Bo-Kaap tot Koeksis-
ter-heuwel herdoop gekry ...)
Meeste mense wat enigiets van
nuuskantore weet, weet dat die
vreemdste s-goed uit daardie in-
ligtingsgrotte ontsnap of oor-en-
weer gegooi word. S was dit ook
toe n klomp in die TygerBurger-
kantoor op die drukspertyd oor
koeksisters begin redeneer het.
Die een van Bloemfontein wat
lief is vir kosmaak en darem sy
kardamom van sy kremetart
uitken, begin die debat deur ewe
dapper en vol selfvertroue te ver-
klaar (tussen die klomp Kape-
naars) dat daar gn verskil is nie.
En hyhaal boonop sy feite uit die
Handwoordeboek vandieAfrikaan-
se Taal aan! En selfs met opperste
opposisie, weier hy om hom van
stryk te laat bring.
Dt ontlok toe die gegons en n ge-
jeuk wat gekrap mt word: Wat is
die verskil nou eintlik tussen die
twee?
TygerBurger wend hom toe eers
tot die sosiale media.
Lionel Adendorf vat dadelik
raak: Koeksisters word gevleg, en
koesisters het anys in en word dan
in stroop gedoop en later met klap-
per bestrooi.
Jannie Hennop (toevallig ook n
Vrystater), s: Geen verskil nie
albei is watertandlekker. Meer
plaaslik stem Theresa Olivier
100% met Adendorf saam: Dis
hoe ek hom ook ken. My mond wa-
ter nou vir die koesister met anys,
in stroop gedoop en geklapper.
Petro-ann Nicholas bring n hele
nuwe dimensie tot die redenasie:
Michelle Linnert, dan is daar na-
tuurlik ook die oliebol, wat in En-
gels doughnut genoem word. Dis
sonder die anys en sy tekstuur ef-
fens sagter. Dit het baie variasies
room, custard, met klapper, son-
derklapper. Strooisuikerwordook
soms in plaas van klapper ge-
bruik. Toevallig bak Nicholas oor
naweke van die sonder-k-soort.
Moerieda Carolus en Quinton
Adams meen die een is gevleg en
word deur die tannies vir die tuis-
nywerhede gebak en die ander se
oorsprong is in ons eie kombuise,
wat eg Bo-Kaaps is, met te veel
liefde en stroop in.
Vir Kupido Baron gee die uit-
spraak die deurslag: Die uit-
spraak het te doenmet hoeveel tan-
de jy nog oorhet ... en volgensLize
Mulder: Ooee, Michelle Linnert,
by die Groenpunt-dagkliniek
waarnatoe ek my ma een keer n
maand vat, is daar koesisters soos
net n engel dit kanmaak! Jy salmy
nie met n koeksister vermaak nie,
maar met daai taai, soet anys en
klapperbolle ... Ai man, dan ver-
geet ek gerieflikheidshalwe van di-
abetes en vetrolle en alles anders!
Volgens Wilma Paulse, n gereken-
deMoslem-kok, het die koesister
met sy donkerbruin velletjie ook
speserye soos neut, kaneel en gem-
mer in. Endie gevlegtes is twistees
met nt anys, liggies gestroop en in
klapper getol.
Sy s bollas weer, is rond met
korente in en gesprinkel met ver-
siersuiker. Koeksisters is ook ge-
draai, maar amper hol binne, wat
dan in koue stroop gedoop word,
met geen klapper.
Volgens Charlene Fourie is die
verskil semanties: Koesister is
maar net streektaal, soos vadoek,
vir afdroogdoek.
Die Kalahari-joernalis Anena
Burger antwoord van daar doer bo
uit die hittegolwe: Sy ken die een
sonder die k as n curly.
My ma het hulle aan kafees ge-
smous. Hulle is vir haar deur n
Moslem-bakkery in Eersterivier
gebak. Sover ek weet is hulle oor-
sprong uit die Bo-Kaap, s sy.
Hulle is sag aan die binnekant en
in stroop en klapper gedoop met n
