ILLANA FRANTZ

Putting out your dustbin on col-

lectiondayseemstohavebecome

a life-threatening task.

Robbers appear to be targeting

residents who put their wheelie

bins out on dark winter mornings

before setting off to work.

TheDistrictMail received a letter

from a reader, describing how her

husbandwasattackedby twoassail-

ants after putting out their bin at

07:10 that morning.

Her husband had turned around

to fetch the recycling bag from the

garage about three metres away,

when he was attacked.

He was blindfolded, gagged,

thrown to the ground, dragged in-

side the garage and tied up. After

robbinghimandtakinghiskeys, the

thieves left on foot. The victim was

badly shaken, but unhurt.

A second incident took place on

Thursday 18 July when a resident

of the Monte Sereno area placed

their wheelie bin outside at 07:10.

Iwaswalkingback to thegarage,

which is about 15 meters from the

gate, to get in my car and leave for

work. Suddenly Iwas attacked from

behind, hit over the head, gagged,

dragged into the house where both

my feet and hands were tied up,

says the resident, who wants to re-

main anonymous.

He was alone at home at the time.

The two perpetrators who at-

tackedhimwrappedaclothoverhis

eyes. They asked him for money to

return to Zimbabwe.

Iwasrobbedofmywallet,watch,

gold chain, cellphone and other

small valuable items. They also saw

a safe in the garage where I keep a

sporting shotgunanddemanded the

key for it.

I had no choice but to give it to

them. They had a sharp object

against my throat and threatened

me, he recalls.

The thieves opened the safe and

tookcash,acameraandother items,

but not the shotgun. According to

the resident, the whole episode

probably lasted about half an hour.

The men eventually said they

were leaving andwhenheheard the

gate close, he started removing the

ties that bound him.

He then set off the house alarm

and his security company and the

police showed up.

According to Constable Suzan

Jantjies, spokesperson for the

Somerset West SAPS, partnerships

between various law enforcement

agencies have been formed to com-

bat this trend.

This includes the police, security

companies and neighbourhood

watcheswhowillconductpatrolson

bin-collection days.

Residents should also be aware

of their surroundings, especially

when leaving or entering their

premises. They should ensure there

are no criminal elements lurking at

their gates.

She added that residents should

report any suspicious-looking peo-

ple or vehicles to the police immedi-

ately, and give a clear description.

SAFE AND CLEAN CBD: In a bid to establish and maintain a clean

and safe Central Business District (CBD) for Somerset West, the City of

Cape Town has appointed a number of workers of the Expanded Public

Works Programme (EPWP) as well as additional lawenforcement offic

ers. EPWP workers man the CBD six days a week with the primary

task of keeping the area clean. Wards 15 and 84, which include the

Somerset West CBD, acquired two additional lawenforcement officers at

the end of 2012. Their visibility between 08:30 16:30 daily has result

ed in improved adherence to bylaws in areas around Busy Corner, the

taxirank and the post office, which have generated numerous com

plaints in the past. These complaints mainly concern the presence of

street people and illegal informal trading. Here Lauren Roderiques and

Kevin Jacobs inspect the trading licence of Ndumba Nzau in the CBD.

3 years

for theft

A man (26) pleaded

guilty to a charge of

being in possession

of suspected stolen

property and was

sentenced to three

rested Mandla Nth-

nation for.

Inanaffidavitread

in court by Etinne

Mentoor fromtheLe-

gal Aid Board who

defended Nthlongo,

the accused claimed

he found the drill ly-

ing near his home.

He then decided to

take it.

The court heard

that Nthlongo, who

has one minor child,

is a first-time offend-

er and the defence

suggested that the

accused be given a

suspended sentence.

disagreed and re-

quested direct im-

prisonment.

Scheepers said that

she cannot say that

the accused shows

any remorse for his

actions and subse-

quently sentenced

ThreeSomersetWestmennarrowlyes-

caped death after their jet skis were

swept up in strong currents near

Koegel Bay on Saturday.

AsuddenwavesweptoverEdenThomp-

son and Chris Roberts, capsizing their jet

ski and flinging it onto nearby rocks

Edens dad, Mark was skiing close by.

Henoticed theirplightandrushed to their

aid immediately.

Strong currents repeatedly pulledEden

back into the surf, hampering Marks at-

tempts to pull his son onto his own jet ski.

With difficulty, he eventuallymanaged to

do so.

From here Eden immediately phoned

hismom,Bonita,withhisdadscellphone.

She alerted the NSRI and also a few

friends.

According to NSRI spokesperson Craig

Lambinon they received the call just be-

fore 13:00.

Mark braved the waves a second time

to help Chris, who had by now been

washed further away from land by the

strong currents.

His jet ski was also overturned and the

turbulent waters prevented him from

mounting it again.

Survival mode kicked in and the two

men realised that they had to get out of

theroughseaandmaketheirwayto shore

as soon as possible.

After almost an hour, all three men

were safely ashore. Lambinon said that

Chris had almost drowned and had been

treated by paramedics on the scene.

Mark, an experienced boatman regards

this as a freak accident. He believes they

are lucky to be alive.

Recallinghowtheyhadbeenrepeatedly

pummelled under water, Chris and Eden

both agree that this was a frightening ex-

periencewhichcouldhaveended in trage-

dy.

The NSRI retrieved one jet ski from the

water during the afternoon, but returned

for the second jet ski the next day, when

the sea was calmer. The second jet ski was removed on Sunday.

Helderberg residents will have to brace

themselves for the bitterly cold and wet

weather conditions.

As opposed to the unseasonably pleasant

weather experienced the last few weeks, a

cold front accompanied by strong winds and

an increased atmospheric instability is ex-

pected to bring a taste of real winter from

this week onward.

According to a warning issued by the Na-

tional Weather Forecasting Centre, the

rainy, very cold andwindy conditionswould

have spread rapidly to the remainder of the

Western Cape, southern parts of the North-

ern Cape, as well as the western parts of the

Eastern Cape. As of yesterday (Wednesday),

widespread showers were experienced over

theWestern andEasternCape. In particular,

heavy falls of rain (more than50 mmperday)

are likely along the Cape south coast and ad-

jacent interiors. Areas most likely to be af-

fected are the southern parts of the Cape

Winelands, the Overberg and Eden district

municipalities in the Western Cape.

Thosepeoplefromtheabove-mentionedar-

eas are alerted to the danger of flooding.

Snowfalls are also expected over the south-

western mountains of the Western Cape,

spreading eastward across the country. It

should be noted that due to the extreme na-

ture of the weather, the freezing level (the

lowest altitude at which sub-zero tempera-

tures start being encountered in the atmos-

phere) is expected to be very low. Conse-

quently, thiswill not only promote snowfalls

over the mountains, but also over the adja-

cent terrain at lower elevations.

Temporary closures of certain mountain

passes are likely.

For more information or technical en-

quires, contact the National Weather Fore-

casting Centre on 021 367 6041.

Cause of lice infestation removed

The Somerset West couple whose home had

been infested with seaweed lice are relieved

toberidof the insects thathavebeen jumping

and crawling all over their house for almost

two weeks.

According to Debbie Pargiter who runs a

dress-making business from their home

there had been a follow-up from the health

department to ensure that the insects were

no longer present. Last week Pargiters

neighbour had been served with a notice by

the health department to cease operations

which caused the infestation of the insects.

According to Councillor Lungiswa James,

idence of working with any sea kelp could be

observed at their follow-up inspection.

Dit is elke meisie se droom om

vir haarmatriekafskeid vanAs-

word di droom van Porchen

Gordon (17) nou verwesenlik.

Di matriekleerling aan Hor-

skoolMacassar is Vrydag as die ge-

lukkige wenner van n volle ma-

triekafskeiduitrusting aangewys.

Porchen se ouma, Sophie Oer-

son, wat haar grootmaak, s sy het

vandiekompetisie oordie radio ge-

hoor.

Die kompetisie behels die in-

stuur van n kort motivering oor

hoekom jy die matriekafskeid van

jou drome moet wen.

Sophie verduidelik dat Porchen

sema bipolr is en dat sy reeds van

nvroeouderdomafmamoeswees

virhaar jongerbroer endrie jonger

susters.

Ek wou vir Porchen inskryf

omdat sy so n spesiale meisie is.

Ekwou graag vir haar diematriek-

afskeid van haar drome gee, maar

diegeldsakelaatditnie toenie,het

Sophie ges.

n Soektog vir geld om lugtyd te

koop het gevolg voor die inskry-

wingsproses in werking gestel kon

word. Porchen se ma het haar R5

gegeewaarvanhulle lugtyd gekoop

het om die radiostasie te SMS.

n Paar dae n hulle die SMS op 24 Julie

gestuur het, het hulle oor die radio gehoor

dat een van die finaliste vanMacassar is. Dit

het Porchen se vriende baie opgewonde ge-

maak, terwyl haar senuwees oor die uitslag

geknaag het.

Ekwounieteveeldaarvanmaaknie,want

watasditnie ekwasnie?Dansouek teleurge-

steld gewees het, onthou Porchen.

Verlede Vrydag (2 Augustus) het n span

van Radio Tygerberg haar in die

klas kom verras en regstreeks oor

die radio as wenner aangekondig.

Toe ek hulle by die skool sien,

het ek gedink dat dit dalk ek kan

wees. En toe hulle my naam uit-

roep, bars ek in trane van blyd-

skap uit.

Dieandermatriekleerlingehet

Porchen het in 2012 die titels

vanMej. Valentyn enMej. Macas-

Maar sy is meer as net n mooi

gesig. Sy is tans toppresteerder in

haar graad en het verlede jaar n

diploma in besigheidstudie en n

trofee vir rekeningkunde gekry.

Sy beoog om volgende jaar on-

derwys te studeer.

Sy het egter nog nie besluit wie

sy saam met haar na die matriek-

afskeid op Woensdag 18 Septem-

ber gaan nooi nie.

Skoenmakerhouhombysy lees

DELIAH BRINKHUIS

Maak jy nou n spier seer, ou nig-

gie, en dit haal jou een-of-ander

tyd in.

Di streng vermaning kom al vin-

gerswaaiend van die welbekende

Strandse skoenmaker Martin Del-

port. Soos wat klinte die drumpel

van die winkeltjie in Kerkstraat

deurtrap besef ek gou dat Delport n

skoenmaker is wat hom oor die jare

wel by sy lees gehou het.

Goeie klintediens kom eerste in

sy besigheid, en alhoewel skoenma-

kery alles behalwe kinderspeletjies

is put hy oneindige genot hieruit.

Delport het sy kennis van skoen-

makery van sy pa geleer, wat die am-

bag op sy beurt in n kinderhuis by

die Engelsman, Vader Langlam in

Potchefstroom, geleer het.

Volgens Delport het hy slegs een

paar gekoopte skoene as kind besit.

Ek het myself belowe dat wanneer

ek eendag begin werk ek nooit n te-

kort aan skoene sal hnie, sehymet

erns.

Volgens Delport wou hy in sy 56

jaar as skoenmaker net die beste

kwaliteit aan sy klinte gee.

Skertsendverwyshynadie kabou-

ters en feetjies wat op die kasdeure

agter hom geteken is as sy helpers

wat, wanneer die vlees teen midder-

nag niemeer sterk is nie, sywerk vir

hom voltooi.

Delport (74) is ook ngekwalifiseer-

de ortopeed wat wreldwyd bekend-

heid verwerf het vir n ortopediese

insetsel wat hy in skoene bou.

Hyvertel trotsdathyindiesestiger

jare met sy eerste ortopediese ont-

werp nwipindievoormaligeSpring-

bok-rugbykaptein, Phil Mostert, se

stap gesit het.

Hyt so voet vir voet geskuifel, en

ek kon dit nie uitstaan dat n mens

wat nou sy lewe aan sport gewy het

nousowrgtig somoet loopnie,ver-

tel Delport terwyl hy al met die toon-

bank langs skuifel.

N Mostert se skoene opgebou is,

shy, hethyheelwat verwysingsvan

dokters gekry. Sy klinte sluit onder

andere sportmanne soos voormalige

krieketspelers Brian McMillan en

Garth le Roux, Alan Donald asook,

die Stellenbosse rugbyspan.

Delport vertel dat hy di ontwerp

reeds in 1976 in 12 lande gepatenteer

het. Sestien paar van die Suid-Afri-

kaanseatleetMavisHutchinson, ook

bekend as die Galloping Granny, is

so opgebou toe sy in 1978 die eerste

vrougewordhetomn4 620 kmmara-

thon van Los Angeles na New York

Delport haal n ler met verwy-

singsbriewe van vele tevrede klinte

van regoor die wreld uit. Benewens

Le Roux enMcMillan sn is daar ook

dankie-s-briewe van Alan Donald,

die Suid Afrikaanse weermag en n

Engelse vrou wat slegs met n kierie

kon loop. Sy het onsuksesvol in Zu-

rich en Kanada om hulp aangeklop

voordat sy kennis gemaak het met

di skoenmaker in die klein dorpie

aan die onderpunt van Suid-Afrika.

Trots lig hy sy voet op en wys sy

handgemaakte Mocassins van

Sweedse-leer wat hy reeds vir 29 jaar

dra.

Delport is van mening dat die in-

voer van goedkoper materiaal die

sluit van heelwat skoenfabrieke

asook verskaffers van skoenproduk-

te veroorsaak het.

Toe plastiek die land inkom wou

mense nie meer betaal nie en ek kon

nie meer my klinte in die o kyk en

hul geld neem, wetend dat ek nie my

besteaanhulvoorsienhetnie,shy.

Hy glo dat met wilskrag enigiets

moontlik is en vertel van die buiten-

gewone versoeke wat hy oor die jare

aanvoldoenhet.Hymoesondermeer

skoene vir n boerboel en n poedel

maak wat hul pote beseer het en nie

kon loop sonder om dit te sleep nie.

Tans is hy besig om n paar skoene

vir n skewepoot-perd te maak wat

hopelik sy galop sal balanseer.

Wanneer hy die ligblou houtdeure

aan die einde van Augustus vir ou-

laas toetrek, sal di vaardigheid en

kennis waarmee hy vir byna ses de-

kades talle klinte gelukkig gehou

het net vir hom behoue bly. Met n

tevrede glimlag sehy, Godhet n tyd

en plek vir als, en n is dit eers tyd

dat ek n perd van n ander kleur op-

saal.

Martin Delport het in sy jare as skoenmaker honderde pare skoene ge

maak. FOTOS : DELIAH BRINKHUIS

ThankyouProBeetle for recoveringmybelovedBeetle

I recently had the misfortune of

having my lovely VW Beetle sto-

len. The efforts everyone went

through on that day to find my

poor Bug, hopefully in one piece,

were tremendous, but it was Pro

Beetle who ended up being my

(and my Beetles) saviour.

Whenmy Beetle showed up out-

side theProBeetleworkshopwith-

out me in the drivers seat they

wasted no time in retrieving the

keys and phoning me to tell me

that we could end the hunt.

Without Pro Beetle I probably

neverwouldhave gotmycar back.

For anyone who owns or would

like to own a Beetle, Pro Beetle is

definitely the place to go. Not only

do they know these cars better

than the back of their hands, they

go to any length for their custom-

ers because for them; its not a job,

its a passion. Thank you, Pro Bee-

tle, I cant imagine what I would

do without you!

KAYLA ROPER

Toallwhohelpedat theaccident scene, youwereamazing!

Myself, my husband and my two

daughters (Roslyn 2 and Lilianne

4) were in a terrible accident on

Wednesday evening 31 July at

around 17:30 on the corner Irene

Road and Athollaan in Somerset

West.

There were three cars involved.

Weare all okay, even though there

are somebrokennosesandmytwo

year olds face is really swollen

and cut up.

A woman in the other car lost

consciousness but is also home

safely now. It was traumatic, the

kids were screaming and even

thoughmy partner and I were try-

ing to keep it together we were in

a state of shock.

Minutes after the airbags went

off, cars in our community started

stopping. There were at least 20

people asking if they could be of

assistance in any way. Residents

on Irene were calling the ambu-

lanceserviceandtrying todowhat

they could until help arrived.

My oldest daughter Lilianne

was growing very sleepy and

shock had taken hold. I was on the

floorwithRoslyntryingtoease the

bleeding in her face.

There are two people in particu-

lar Iwould love toget in touchwith

to thank from the bottom of our

hearts.

One was a man in a dark grey

bakkie who spent some time with

my husband calming him and giv-

ing us some advice on how to lay

Lilianne down as she had terrible

pain in her abdomen.

Then there was a lady, an angel

really, Imnot sure if shewas real?

She came and spoke to us calm-

ing us all and keeping Lilianne

awake.

She must have been a mom as

she understood what we were go-

ing through. She was telling Lil-

ianne that she had three dogs one

of them a Cocker Spaniel, I think.

She was in her late 40s maybe

early 50s. She had black short

hair, a black tracksuit on and

spoke English. She was slender

and tanned. I believe she lives in

the area. She stayed withme until

my parents arrived. The ambu-

lance took us away before I could

get her details.

As far as perfect storms go this

was it. The ER24 people were fan-

tastic, our ambulance driver Shel-

don was sincere and calm.

Even the tow-truck guys spoke

directly toour insurancecompany

and arranged everything for us as

we were in no state to do so.

Helderberg Neighbourhood

Watch arrived and controlled traf-

fic like the professionals they are.

ThankyoutoSomersetWestand

to our community. I am amember

of the Lions Club International

and serve my community where

ever I can and its just amazing to

know that people still help, still

stop and still care.

MICHELLE HAYNES

Joinyourneighbourhoodwatchandstay informed

I note from lastweeksDistrictMail

that the subject of crime in theHel-

derberg area is once more coming

to the fore.

Somerset West Neighbourhood

Watch works in conjunction with

SAPS and themajor security com-

panies and together we share in-

formationandpatrol our streets to

prevent crime and catch crimi-

nals.

We have had some notable suc-

cesses not least the recent arrest

of burglars, thieves and the recov-

ery of stolen property.

But it is the sharing of informa-

tion which is so critical to us and

which is then passed amongst our

members to alert them of the tac-

tics that criminals are using.

The dustbin day incident (Dis-

trictMail July 25) is just one exam-

ple. Our streets are busier than

usual on dustbin days with many

peoplewalkingaroundandcalling

door-to-door.

Criminals can use this cover

inorder towalkaroundandassess

premises as future possible tar-

gets. Vigilance is one of our most

important duties and we must act

as the eyes and ears of the commu-

nity, reporting anything we con-

sider suspicious.

I would urge people who are not

members of their local neighbour-

hood watch to join one as soon as

possible.

Not everyone can patrol the

streets, but you can prevent your-

self becoming a victim if you have

theright informationandactupon

it. Anyonewishing to join a neigh-

bourhood watch in their area

should email cpfsaps@gmail.com

Kind, caring

people live in

Helderberg

Not only is the area inwhichwe live

one of the most beautiful in South

Africa, with its breath-taking sea

andmountain views, but somany of

Helderbergs residents are also car-

ing and compassionate people.

During the past fewweeks theDis-

trictMail received many letters

thanking people within the Helder-

berg for their help and compassion.

Oneof the letters on this page enti-

tled To all who helped at the acci-

dent scene, you were amazing! is

proof of just how much people care

and are willing to help.

Besidesthis letter,wehavealsore-

ceived countless letters from people

thanking doctors, hospitals, den-

tists,vets,specialists,oldagehomes,

garages, restaurants and ordinary

people who go out of their way and

walk the extra mile to help fellow

Helderberg residents.

Its amazing to be living in an area

and environment such as this with

such caring people at a time when

there is so much violence, hatred

and crime in the world.

Wouldnt it be wonderful if this

feeling of caring and compassion

could spread throughout the entire

Helderberg and put an end to all the

crime and violence.

This goodwill can be extended by

also protecting our neighbourhoods

byreporting suspicious lookingpeo-

ple to the SAPS, security companies

and neighbourhood watches to pre-

vent crime from taking place.

Dankiedr.Keet

Graag net n bedanking aan dr. Keet, die

Niemandbereidom

taxis vas tevatnie

Ek dink die probleem met die taxis

moet dringend aandag geniet, maar

by wie gaan kla mens? Die verkeer,

die polisie of die taxivereniging.

Is enige drie van die instansies be-

wus van hoe die taxis net doen wat

hulle wil en almal wat net so reg op

die pad het,moetmaar tevredewees

daarmee.

In die oggend is dit n nagmerrie

om veilig by die Somerset Mall uit

te kom.

Die taxis het net geen benul van

padrels of hoe dit toegepas word

nie. Die sirkels by die Mall beteken

hulle kan sommer reg in die middel

van die sirkel stop om mense af te

laai ongeag of daar verkeer agter

hulle is of nie. Hulle handhaaf nie

eers die ses-meter stop rel vanaf n

straathoek nie.

Die taxis probeer nie eers om net

effens hulle kant te bring nie. Daar-

om grens hulle houding van ek

doenwat ekwil aan selfsug enarro-

gansie .

Indien dit nou nie te veel moeite

is nie, doen ek n beroep op die taxi-

vereniging se bestuur/lede om net

een oggend die roete te doen vanaf

die Strand na die Mall sodat hul self

kan sien waarvan ek praat, so nie

neem ek aan hulle keur dit goed dat

die taxis op ongemagtigde plekke

stop.

Ag, en voor ek vergeet. Toe ek wel

eendag dit onder die Gordonsbaai

verkeer se aandag bring toeword ek

gevra om die polisie te kontak. Dit

is glo roekelose en nalatige bestuur.

Wie sou dit kon dink?

SollysPassionGap takesa

closer lookat theCape folk

The ever popular and irrepressible Soli

Philander launched his new show The

Passion Gap, which runs at the Grand-

West Roxy Revue every Wednesday to

Saturday until 14 September.

InThePassionGap,Soli takes a closer look

at Cape Town the people and city of my

heart. The show features the Passion Gap

Ambassador of Cape Town, Gabieba Zuma-

Gupta who will walk the red carpet, and the

wonderful character Gadija who is ever

ready to tell the audience what to stand up

and speak about, so have your issues at the

ready.

The Passion Gap will also feature a Haal

Uit EnWys (take out and show) feature show-

casing theMotherCitys existing and emerg-

ing music, dance and comedy talent.

During the course of the show, Soli will re-

view what makes Cape Town so special, and

sometimes not so special. Soli has gone in

search of bucket-toilet lovers, snoek addicts,

ManU supporters (what do you call two guys

getting married? Man United), narcissistic

hairdisordersufferers,yard flowers, two-Fa-

cebook skinnerbekke (its complicated),

Blackberry chargers, the last remaining

Stormers supporters, radio presenters with

South African accents and Gupta money to

put together an unplugged slideshow of who

this city does or doesnt work for.

In this show, the veteran performer with

more than20yearsexperienceunderhisbelt,

personifies all that is great aboutCapeTown.

Tickets are available at Computicket at

R78. Doors open at 20:00 and the curtain will

be raised at 20:30.Soli Philander

Skills developmentprogrammerolled

out for childrenon farms

Children with special needs,

who live on wine farms and

townships in and around Som-

erset West and Stellenbosch,

are now being given a major

boost inanewcritical skills de-

velopment programme.

This much needed after-school

initiative is being funded by the

DistellFoundationandtheNeder-

burg Auction Charity Auction.

It is being run by the Pebbles

Project Trust and caters for about

260 children, mostly from grades

1 to 7 and focuses on improving

foundational skills for school

learningandawiderangeofother

abilities.

Every day after school, the pu-

pils spend the first part of the af-

ternoon completing homework,

with teachers on hand to help.

Afterwards time is spent on

structured activities to enhance

their physical co-ordination and

motor skills, their emotional and

behavioural development, their

proficiency in communication

and numeracy, as well as on art,

music and drama.

The after-school programme

operates from renovated build-

ings on a number of wine farms

and is run by 22 teachers trained

for this purpose by the Pebbles

Project. Some have worked in the

teaching profession while others

are members of their communi-

ties who skilled to take on the

task. After-school club pro-

gramme manager Este Heyns,

who is the mother of two young

children says: Many children

from marginalised communities

lose out on the vital developmen-

tal skills in the early stages of

their growing up and this keeps

them from realising their poten-

tial as they become older.

This critical skills develop-

ment plan, conceived and pro-

ducedbythePebblesProject, is in-

tended to enrich their lives and

equip them more fully to partici-

pate positively as members of

their families and communities.

Rolled out and implemented

this year, the programme is al-

ready showing promising results,

she adds. The Pebbles teachers

are enthused by the greater level

of involvement shown by the

learners and they positively rein-

force each other. They are also re-

porting improvement in the chil-

drens behaviour, their confi-

denceand their overall skill sets.

Some of the children from farms in and around Somerset West and Stellenbosch involved in structured ac

tivities in a new critical skills development programme being run by the Pebbles Project Trust.

Remgro uniek maak teenoor ander

Loren Erasmus was the performer for the

WomansMonth livemusic event atAvon-

tuur Wine Estate last Friday.

Loren, who hails from Paarl, wooed guests

with her rich and strong voice which effort-

lessly soaredwhen she performed songs from

Adele and other well-known artists.

Her performance blew everyone away,

whether laid back soul, full-throttle pop or

easy-listening classics.

South Africas homes from flats and clusters to stand-alone houses and residential estates demand 17% of the electricity used in our

country. But on weekdays, between 5pm and 9pm, this demand increases and peaks at 35%, a huge jump that puts severe strain on the

power supply.

Why does this happen?

We arrive home from work around 5pm,Monday to Friday.

The first thing we do is switch on the lights, television, our electrical space heaters, followed by the oven, the microwave and the washing

machine or dishwasher. We also run hot water in the kitchen and take a bath or shower with the geyser tucked away in the ceiling

working hard to heat the water.

Millions of us follow this evening routine at the same time, which means South Africas households use more than one third of the

electricity consumed in the country between 5pm and 9pm, on weekdays.

As the demand increases, Eskom does all it can including running some emergency power stations during the day, to balance supply and

demand. This winter we need to continue with power station maintenance and the system will be tighter during the peak period from

5pm to 9pm.

What can you do to help keep the lights on this winter?

Three simple things:

1. Switch off your electrical element geyser between 5pm and 9pm; this appliance uses the most electricity of all in the home, and can

account for up to 50% on your electricity bill

2. Dont switch on your space heater between 5pm and 9pm. This appliance is energy-intensive and can account for up to 16% on

your monthly electricity bill, instead, dress warmly, switch on a gas heater, and use a hot water bottle and blankets to keep warm

3. Switch off your pool pump between 5pm and 9pm; this appliance uses up to 11% on your electricity bill.

Lets switch off together and keep SouthAfrica powered up

this winter
