SOMERSETWEST: FREAKACCIDENT

Wall collapses,kills 2

NIKITA SYLVESTER AND ILLANA FRANTZ

A

normal day at work ended tragical-

ly when two men died after a wall

camecrashingdownontopof them.

On Monday 5 November at around 15:00,

Morris van Zyl from GM van Zyl Builders &

Waterproofers, andoneofhis employeeswere

killed ina freakaccident.Twoothermenwere

seriously injured.

The horrific incident occurred while the

men were working at a resi-

dence in Adam Tas Road,

Somerset West.

The owners of the resi-

dence, Stuart and Cathy

Kilgour, say it all happened

so fast.

Stuart explains that the re-

cent heavy downpours

caused extensive damage to

and multiple cracks in their

back wall.

They subsequently called

in the services of Morris,

whom they knew and who

had done construction work for them on pre-

vious occasions.

They were preparing the foundation to

strengthen the existing wall, when the wall

suddenly collapsed.Morris was buried under

all the rubble and did not survive, says Stu-

art.

DistrictMail viewed the CCTV camera foot-

age of the incident as it took place. It shows

sevenworkerson thesite, threeofwhomwere

trapped below the collapsed wall, while the

fourth worker was flung into the swimming

pool.

The footage then shows paramedics arriv-

ing at the scene within minutes, followed by

rescue teamswho trieddesperately to free the

workers, unaware of the man in the pool.

Stuart explains that after about 25 minutes

of rescue efforts, one of the workers on site

realised that his co-worker was unaccounted

for.

The guys lifted the pool cover and pulled

him out of the water.

According to anER24 spokesperson,Vanes-

sa Jackson, theworkerwho landed at the bot-

tom of the pool could have drowned as hewas

pinned down by the bricks on top of him.

The twomendied at the scene andnothing

more could be done to save their lives, says

Jackson.

She added that the two surviving workers

were airlifted about two hours later to Medi-

clinic Vergelegen and Mediclinic Cape Gate

respectively.

Jackson confirms that

boththesurvivingworkers

sustained various broken

bones, but are fully con-

sciousandinastablecondi-

tion.

Morris is survived byhis

wife and children. He is de-

scribed by Stuart as a great

man.

He was very religious

and always doing good in

the community.

Weve been living in

thishouse for sixyears, but

are now debatingwhetherwe shouldmove or

not.Every timeIgoout there, Iwillberemind-

ed of what happened, says Stuart.

STRAND: SAFER ANDCLEANER

Beaches ready for summer

NIKITA SYLVESTER

A

s the festive season creeps closer so

do thesummerdayswhichevident-

lymeanmore visitors to themuch-

loved Strand beach.

Ward 83 councillor, Dave Venter assured

residents that therearealreadyplansinplace

to ensure that Strand beach will be safer and

cleaner for the high season rush.

Additional temporary staff have already

been assigned to beach cleaning for the sea-

son, which is from the beginning of Novem-

ber until after Easter next year.

The number of cleanerswill also increase

after the schools commenceagain inJanuary

2013, explains Venter.

He says that the City of Cape Towns safety

and security and law enforcement depart-

mentshaveplans inplace to increasevisibili-

ty along all beach areas in the Helderberg,

including Strand beach.

Lifeguardsarealreadyondutyoverweek-

ends and during school holidays lifeguards

will be on duty every day, states Venter.

He also assured that during the Christmas

and New Year period a

number of temporary ablu-

tion facilities will, as in prior

years, be placed along the

beach front area.

Venter also mentioned that

he is currently working on a

long-term project to have the

bus shelters on the beach

front converted into ablution

facilities.

I specifically requested

that the shelters be converted

because no one can use them

at present.

Vagrants have invaded

them, they defecate and uri-

nate in the shelters and they

are a mess.

The officials accepted my

suggestions and by convert-

ing these shelters, the number of these facili-

ties along thebeach frontwill increasewhich

is long overdue, says Venter.

Despitetheongoingbattleoverparkingtar-

iffs, Venter explains that there will be no dif-

ference in parking tariffs in Beach Road,

Strand during this time as there is only one

tariff scale all year round.

Theparkingtariffscalewhichwillbe appli-

cable during the holiday seasonwill be R1,50

for 15 minutes, R3 for 30 minutes and R6 for

an hour.

STERILISATIONUNIT: FIRST FOR CAPE

Newmobileveterinary service

JAMEY THOMAS

T

he Western Capes first mobile ani-

mal sterilisation unit (Masu) was re-

cently launched andwill be in opera-

tion in Sir Lowrys Pass Village from 5

9 November.

Launchedby theAnimalRescueOrganisa-

tion (ARO) early in September Masu a cus-

tom built seven metre long trailer allows

the organisation to travel to far-reaching

communities in dire need of veterinary serv-

ices.

According to Jessica Perrins, ARO com-

munications assistant, the concept of Masu

hasbeentopicalamongstvariousanimalwel-

fare organisations for years.

With the unit finally being realised, steri-

lisations and other animal welfare services

in line with the SAVeterinary Council regu-

lations can be carried out, says Perrins.

The unit is fully equipped with all neces-

sary veterinary and medicine storage facili-

ties, including an operating theatre.

Although Masu aims to render a quality

service on the road, it also plays an instru-

mental role in assisting various animal wel-

fare organisations in trimming down the

numberof unwantedpets inunderprivileged

communities.

According toPerrins,Masuhassince its in-

ception completed four very successful steri-

lisation campaigns, and they are now work-

ing on the success of the fifth in Sir Lowrys

Pass Village.

During our trial and error campaign

which was held on Mandela Day, Masu ex-

ceeded its aim of sterilising 67 animals by an

additional15.Atourcurrent locationweplan

to sterilise between 25 and 30 animals a day,

which will hopefully allow us to sterilise 125

by the end of the week, said Perrins, who

claimsMasu has also been involved in a gov-

ernment funded, mass sterilisation pilot

project in Kayamandi which saw over 1 100

animals sterilised, vaccinated and micro-

chipped within one breeding cycle (6

months).

Masu relies greatly on the contributions

and donations which go solely towards costs

incurred to render services and upkeep. A

four-day trip could cost up to R20 000.

Gewapende rowers val pa en seun aan n hul lone trek

DELIAH BRINKHUIS

Mense voel niks vir n ander se lewe nie

hulle het regte, egte guns gehad.

Dit is die woorde van Sam Opperman (62),

n Strand-inwoner en afgetrede bouer, n hy

verlede Vrydag by sy huis deur gewapende

mans aangeval is.

Opperman se FordCourier-bakkie is ook in

die voorval geroof.

Volgens Opperman, wat tans n deeltydse

oorsienerby nbouprojek is, hethyensy seun

(35)omstreeks09:00R20 000vir lonebynbank

in Hoofweg gaan trek. Die twee is daarna on-

middellik na hul huis in Rusthof.

Hy vertel dat hy om 09:30 voor sy huis in

Derde Straat gestop het en na binne is om die

loonpakkies op te maak.

Volgens Opperman het sy seun, wat in die

bakkie bly sit het, later vertel dat hy drie ge-

wapende mans vanaf Onverwachtstraat aan-

gehardloop sien kom het.

Hy s hy het gedink dat dit die polisie was

wat dalk iemand jaag, vertel Opperman.

VolgensOpperman het diemans op sy seun

afgestorm en een van hulle het glo n vuurwa-

pen teen sy nek gedruk, sy selfoon uit sy

broeksak geruk en hom beveel om in die bak-

kie te bly sit.

Die volgende oomblik het die ander twee

mans die huis binnegestorm. Opperman ver-

tel hy was in die kombuis op pad na die stu-

deerkamer.

Een van diemans het mymet die gun teen

die regterkant vanmy kop geslaan dat ek plat

op die grond val, s hy. Diemans het op hom

toegesak en hom na bewering geskop en ge-

trap.

Gelukkig het my bril afgeval, anders sou

dit dalk gebreek het en die glasstukke in my

o beland het.

Opperman s hy het op sy regtersy gedraai

ensybeneopgetrek in npogingomdieaanval

op hom te af te weer.

Terwyl hulle my so in my gesig geskop en

getrap het, het hulle aanhoudend geskree,

The keys, the f@#* money, maar ek het die

geld, wat in my broeksak was, vasgel. Die

bakkie se sleutels was in sy agtersak en het

uitgeval. Opperman vertel sy vrou het uit die

gang aanhoudend geskree, polisie, polisie,

kom help.

Sys maar n maer vroutjie ek het nie ge-

weet dat sy s kan skree nie mense kon haar

seker in die Kaap hoor.

Opperman s hy glo sy vrou se gegil het die

oortreders van stryk gebring en dat hulle pa-

niekbevange oor-en-weer in die vertrek ge-

hardloop het, voordat hulle uitgehardloop

het.

VolgensOpperman is sy seunuit die bakkie

geruk. Twee van die mans het voor in, en die

derde agterop gespring en weggejaag.

Terwyl ek daar op die grond, onder bloed,

gel het, het my vrou uitgehardloop en kon

ek haar geskree steeds hoor. Ek het gevrees

dat my seun dalk geskiet is. Hy het weer ge-

dink dat die mans my geskiet het, s hy.

Datdt ooitmetmysougebeur,wasekglad

nie te wagte nie dit nogal binne-in my huis.

Ek twyfel of ek so iets weer sal oorleef.

Opperman s n vriend van homhet sy bak-

GORDONSBAY: SUSPECT HELD

AWSburgledand ransacked

NIKITA SYLVESTER

W

e have to deal with somuch

everydayandthenthishap-

pens, says a despondent

JuliaEvansaftertheAnimalWelfareSoci-

ety in Gordons Bay was recently broken

into and burgled.

According toGordonsBaycommunication

officer, warrant officer Nico Beukes, a 33-

year-oldman fromGordonsBaywasarrested

on Monday 5 November in connection with

the burglary. As soon as the suspect is

charged, he will appear in the Strand Magis-

tratesCourtonchargesofhousebreakingand

theft, says Beukes.

Evans, manager of the AWS, explains that

on Thursday morning (25 October) at around

07:30 she received a call from one of her em-

ployees, Eugenie McQueen, who had just ar-

rived for work, informing her of a burglary

at their offices.

Upon her arrival, McQueen had found the

traumatisedsecurityguard,LearnmoreMun-

dawu, who was on duty that evening, hiding

in the building.

Evans says that the incident took place at

around 04:00 onThursday,when anunknown

numberofsuspectsbrokeintotheAWSoffices

in Gordons Bay.

It seems they gained entry by cutting

through the burglar bars and opening a win-

dow after they cut the electrical fence sur-

rounding the premises.

Mundawu, who was patrolling inside the

building at the time, told her that one of the

suspectshad forcedhiminto thediparea,held

aguntohisheadandtoldhimthat ifhemoved,

they would shoot him.

He says he could not see the suspects faces

or tell how many there were because he was

covering himself the entire time. He explains

that because the suspects left with his cell-

phone, he was unable to contact anyone for

help, so he waited in the building until some-

one arrived later that morning.

Evans says the suspects completely ran-

sacked the place and stole a number of valua-

ble items, such as two computer monitors,

boxes,screensandaprinteraswellasthekeys

to the AWS vehicles and spare keys. Other

items the suspects also made off with include

a kodak camera, two tea sets, a dip tin, frozen

goods from the freezer, a memory stick and

atinwithmoneytheemployeeshavecollected

for their Christmas party.

They stripped the spotlights off the front

of the building and even ripped the light from

vendingmachine, she says. Thankfully the

two computers that were taken, were recov-

ered and they didn't get into the big safe. I am

also really grateful that they didnt take any

of the animals medication.

Alongwith the police, Vetus Schola also ar-

rived at the scene and offered to install a bur-

glar alarm and monitoring system free of

charge as part of their community work.

Huge thanks to SAPS, Vetus Schola, the

locksmithandeveryonewhoassistedus, they

were all phenomenal, says Evans.

Anyone with information can contact in-

vestigating officer Advocate Solwandle on

The suspects gained entry through the win-

dow after they cut through the burglar bars.

STRAND:DOGS FACE CUTOPEN

GuyFawkesvictim

A

boerboel had to be

stitched-up after be-

ing injured during

Guy Fawkes celebrations

on Monday.

Bruno, a 15-year-old males

face was cut open when he

jumped through a glass slid-

ing door in an attempt to es-

cape the sound of exploding

firecrackers.

His owner, Tracey Nortje of

Strand says she and her hus-

band had tried to let Bruno in-

to the house earlier as a safety

precaution. He was, however,

too agitated by the sound of

fireworks being discharged

and would not come in.

Wecouldhear firecrackers

throughout the evening, but it

was a far-off, dull sound, re-

calls Nortje.

She says at about 21:30 the sound of fire-

crackers became louder. She heard Bruno

bumping frantically against the sliding door.

She remembers shouting, Bruno, wait,

wait, to their pet as shewent to open thedoor

to let him in.

A loud explosive thud followed, causing the

dogto jumpthroughtheglassdoor.Glassshat-

teredacross theroomas thedogsought refuge

from the deafening sound of fireworks.

There was glass and blood everywhere, I

thought I would never be able to stop it.We

were tryingtostopthebleeding foralmost two

hours; at one stage blood was squirting from

the wound like a fountain, Nortje says.

She phoned a Strand veternarian who ad-

visedhertoputpressureonthegapingwound.

She says once inside Bruno settled down

while the sound of firecrackers could still be

heard throughout the night

On Tuesday morning the veterinarian col-

lected Bruno and took him to the surgery

where he received eight stitches.

The City of Cape Town has this year de-

clared Macassar Beach the only designated

area for fireworks displays in theHelderberg.

In a press statement last week Theo

Layne, spokesperson for the Citys Fire and

Rescue Services, assured residents that law

enforcement officers will be on duty in resi-

dential areas where it is illegal to discharge

fireworks. However, Helderberg Animal

Welfare Society manager, Julia Evans says

she had been inundated with phone calls

fromMacassar residents reporting animals

running astray. She added that the rest of

theHelderberg had been quieter than previ-

ous years, with only a few stray dogs being

brought to the centre and a few reported

missing by their owners.

Bruno sustained a deep cut to the right side of his face

when he jumped through a glass sliding door.

beloof om n vlie-insekweerder op die oe-

Lungiswa James van departement van ge-

sondheid, het die winderige toestande in die

Strand oor die afgelope paar dae ongelukkig

veroorsaak dat hulle nie kon voortgaan met

die besproeiing nie.

HELDERZICHT: SUPPLY INTERRUPTED

Burstwaterpipes causedamage

NIKITA SYLVESTER

W

ith the ongoing con-

struction work on the

water pipes in Helder-

zicht, Somerset West some resi-

dents are now starting to lose

their patience with pipe bursts.

According to a Dunn Street resi-

dent the water supply in that street

was interrupted for nearly an en-

tire weekend (26 28 October).

Yes, the pipes are now being re-

placed, but this past weekend we

had no water from Friday (26 Octo-

ber) at about 09:00 until 23:15. Itwas

offagainonSaturdayandonlywent

on again on Sunday afternoon.

The City of Cape Towns water

and sanitation department direc-

tor, Philemon Mashoko said the

resident reported the burst pipe

which occurred that weekend and

confirmed that officials repaired it

the following Tuesday morning.

Whenwork is done on thewater

supplynetwork, it is inevitable that

the supply will be interrupted. If it

is plannedmaintenance, the affect-

ed residents are advised before-

hand,but inthecaseofpipebursts

which obviously cannot be fore-

seen there is no advance notice.

Construction done on Friday 2 No-

vember at a property in Dunn

Street, caused water to spray from

the ground in all directions.

The resident furthermore com-

plainedabout theunsightly state in

which the contractors leave the

properties once they have worked

there. She also claims that the wa-

ter pipe taps are frequently not be-

ing closed properly, causing leak-

age into properties and roads.

Thiswater is causing damage to

ourproperty.Wehave spentmoney

getting our gardens back in order

after the damage, but I really have

had enoughnow. Someone needs to

take responsibility and do follow-

up checks on what contractors are

doing here, she says.

Mashoko responded in saying

that Helderzicht is a low-lying area

next to theGeel Sloot and thewater

table in this area is high.

Any additional water caused by

leaks, as well as rain, will make an

already bad situation worse, ex-

plains Mashoko.

Theholes thecontractordugare

full of water, almost right up to the

surface. The City will monitor

whilst the contractor finishes the

job and arrange for an inspection

to ensure that there are no other

leaks.

He adds that in all instances the

departments staff will strive to en-

surethattheinterruptioninthewa-

ter supply is kept to the minimum,

both in terms of the area affected

and the duration of the interrup-

tion.

Self-stabber case

postponed again

Allan Mayne (47), the man who

claimed he was attacked in the

underground parking area of

Somerset Mall, will make his

next court appearance only in

2013.

Mayne appeared in court last

week Friday on charges of de-

feating the ends of justice. The

case was postponed until 29

March 2013 for further investi-

gation.

This follows after mass hyste-

ria prevailed in the Helderberg

when amessage claiming aman

had been brutally stabbed at the

mall, spread rapidly among var-

ious networks on Tuesday 12

June.

The malls security footage

shows a mans arm moving in a

stabbing motion toward his

body at 19:08. After a few min-

utes, he struggles to get up and

then falls over the railing near

the circle at the underground

parking section.

He was found there a few

hours later and taken to hospi-

tal. Police were informed of the

incident and on Friday 22 June,

Maynewas arrested at his home

in Somerset West.

Gerry Simpson (84) passed away on 31

October. He was a lover of food and the

sea, with curry being his favourite dish. He

is now in a better place and the family

wishes that his soul rest in peace. He will

be sorely missed by his children, grandchil-

dren and great grandchildren. His funeral

will take place on Saturday 10 November

in the Church Street Methodist Church in

Somerset West at 14:00.

TheAWS indesperateneedofpet food

The Animal Welfare Society

(AWS) is in dire need of pet food,

as they have reached a critical

stage in their supply.

The economic climate has re-

sulted inmany pets being dumped

or dropped off at the AWS.

Currently, theyhave asmanyas

104 dogs, 40 cats and 23 kittens in

their care. The AWS relies solely

on donations and the funds from

their collection tins.

Anyone wishing to donate, can

drop the pet food off at 42 Reitz

kennels at Mansfield Crescent

Gordons Bay.

Alternatively, SMS paws to

DEIRDRE SCHOUW

Bewareof

de-bugging scam

I had two brushes with a new

scam in the last week.

A caller with an Indian accent

and the time lag on the call

makesmethinkitsactually from

India says they will get rid of

illegal downloads that we ap-

parently pick up from the inter-

net.

They tell you to be at your com-

puter, tell you to do all kinds of

things, and then you tell them

what it says on the screen.

I have no doubt that this will

give them access to all ones per-

sonal details and bank accounts,

pin numbers, 3G or ADSL time,

and who knows what else.

Incidentally, the call came on

the line which has the ADSL.

Readers beware: nobody de-

bugs a computer for free!

currence when one is dealing with

spring tides, south-easterly winds

as has been the case over the past

weeks.Thebeachbynomeanslooks

Photo 2 - City of Cape Town,

toilet serves an important function

due to the lack of sufficient ablution

facilities along this beach front.

During the previous summer sea-

son the citys sport, recreation and

amenities department received very

positive comments from both visi-

tors and residents about this facili-

ty given the shortage of such facili-

ties along this strip of beach. This

facility is servicedregularlyandac-

cordingly. The department has not

had complaints indicating that it is

not working.

rious light. Law enforcement staff

in this area were deployed to assist

Howcanpeople

steal fromNPOs?

It is indeedasaddaywhenwelfare

and charity organisations are bro-

ken into and robbed of theirmeagre,

butmuch needed operational equip-

ment.

TheAnimalWelfareOrganisation

inGordonsBaywasbrokenintoand

burgled earlier this week when bur-

glars cut through burglar bars and

the electric fence surrounding the

property.

After destroying the offices the

robbers stole computers, a camera,

tea sets, frozen food and money the

staff had been collecting for their

Christmas party.

To top it all, the organisation is

still in critical need of dog and cat

food to feed the growing numbers of

dogs and cats at the kennels.

If youre able to help, please drop

off food at 42 Reitz Street, Somerset

West or at the kennels at Mansfield

Crescent Gordons Bay.

There is, however, also some good

news for all pets in the Helderberg:

a mobile animal sterilisation unit

(Masu),was launchedbytheAnimal

Rescue Organisation (ARO) earlier

this week.

This unit is in the form of a seven

metre long trailer and is fully

equipped with all veterinary needs,

including a fully functional operat-

ing theatre.

This custom-built trailer will al-

low the ARO to get to communities

who are in desperate need of good

veterinary services.

The mobile unit was launched in

the Helderberg at Sir Lowrys Pass

Village earlier this week, with great

success.

M

ovember is literal-

ly changing the

face of mens

health around the globe.

The changed face comes

with the addition of a mous-

tache grown during the

month of November, but its

not just about the ability to

produce a fine crop of facial

hair on the upper lip.

Movember is all about rais-

ing awareness around the of-

ten ignored issues of mens

cancers.

Helderberg Hospice is sup-

porting this campaign by

hosting a thought-provoking

multi-media art exhibition,

entitled End/Begin, which

documents the journey taken

after a diagnosis of prostate

cancer. Various components

make up the different stages

of this journeyandwhilepain

and suffering are an integral

part of the story, it is also a

passage of hope and one that

is permeated with love and

care.

Artist Elna Bischoff has

madeinnovativeuseofmixed

media throughout the exhibi-

tion to express the emotional

dimension of the content.

The exhibition opens on

Saturday 10 November at

10:00 at the Training Centre

at Helderberg Hospice in Old

Stellenbosch Road, Somerset

West, and will be open to the

public for theweekthereafter

during office hours.

Phone Patricia on 021 852

4608 for more information.

Seen here is artist Elna Bischoff with one of the

works on exhibit.

EXHIBITION OF OILS: Christell Gar-

lick (nee Huisamen) was born in Stel-

lenbosch and attended school at Hor

Meisieskool Bloemhof where she ma-

triculated with art and ceramics one of

her subjects. After school she studied

graphic design at the Cape Town Tech-

nicon and between 1998 and 2004

she studied under renowned artist Pie-

ter Vermaak. She works mainly in oil

on canvas and is well-known for her

sepia portraits. One solo and seven

joint exhibitions have followed and her

work graces the walls of homes and

businesses in South Africa, Europe and

the United States. An exhibition of her

oil paintings is currently being held at

Chatters Caf in Lourensford Road,

Somerset West until 8 November.

Gian Groen is die ou wat destyds die voorsan-

ger van die eertydse rockgroepSpinnekop was

en nou n klompie jare later steeds aan die rock

is. Die enigste verskil sedertdien, is dat die

klank van die musiek net soveel verbeter het.

Die neulende kitaar ritmes is steeds daar,

maarword deesdaemet behulp van klawers so

bietjie aangehits tot n baie duidelike blues ge-

voel.

Gian Groen en sy band speel nie net Afri-

kaansetreffersnie,soEngelsegehorekanhulle

ook geniet. Die groep bestaan uit Gian Groen

opkitaarenstem,JeremySchultzeopdromme,

Logan Scott op baskitaar en John Mitchell op

klawers en saam is hulle n goed geoliede ma-

sjien wat rock en eenvoudig live gesien moet

word. Die ideale geleentheid hiervoor is di

Vrydag om 21:00 by Berties Moorings in Gor-

More angels needed ineducation

T

he second annual Media24

Rachels Angels lecture was re-

cently held at Groenberg Second-

ary School in Grabouw.

The Rachels Angels Trust, a joint

project between Media 24 and Stellen-

bosch University, was founded in 2007. It

aims to contribute towards building ex-

cellence in high school education in the

Western Cape and currently includes

mentorship programmes between grade

11 pupils from 20 disadvantaged schools

and second- and third-year students from

Stellenbosch University.

Minister in the Presidency and chair-

person of the National Planning Commis-

sion (NPC), Trevor Manuel was the key-

note speaker.

MinisterManuel outlined theNPCsVi-

sion2030 Improving thequality of educa-

tion in South Africa.

The role of teachers, with continued

evaluation, cameunder the spotlight.We

needtoensurethatteachersfeelaccounta-

ble to principals, said Manuel.

He said principals need to be appointed

on competency and skills and that it is a

job requiring skills to manage 1 200 pu-

pils.

The role of oversight and responsibility

ofVision2030educationpolicywasaques-

tionmost asked.MinisterManuel empha-

sised that all South African citizens have

a responsibility in ensuring the positive

futureof educationover thenext 18years.

Youcannot pass sole responsibility on

to government; everyone has to get in-

volved, including the pupils here tonight,

who will be the countrys leaders in 18

years time. It is a role that government,

educators, civil society and businesses

have to be involved in.

Commenting on the Rachels Angels

Trust, Minister Manuel said there needs

tobemoreangelscomingforwardtoim-

plement programmes to improve the

quality of education and mentor pupils,

some of whom are the first generation to

completematric and go on to further edu-

cation.

gels Trust with Minister Trevor Manuel (fourth from left).

They are Luzelle Lestrade, deputy chairperson Dr Michael

DOCTORATE IN

PHD: Former Lochn-

erhof Primary School

teacher Benita (Van

Zyl) McLachlan, was

recently awarded a

doctorate in Philoso-

phy (PhD) in Educa-

tional Studies at the

Anglia Ruskin Uni-

versity in England, where she and her

husband have been living since the

nineties. On completion of her diploma

in teaching at OKP, she was appointed

at Lochnerhof Primary School in 1982

in Strand. Her most recent study fo-

cused on disability education within the

lifelong learning sector in England.

SAVE OUR SEAS: Paul Millar from

the Save our Seas Foundation re-

cently gave presentations on shark

research and conservation to grade

4 to 7 pupils of Raithby Primary

School. The foundation also donated

books to the school. The pupils en-

joyed the presentation and were

shocked when Millar told them that

about 100 million sharks are annu-

ally slaughtered, mostly for their

fins. The school wishes to express

their gratitude to Millar and the

Save our Seas Foundation for their

work. Here Paul Millar and school

principal, Attie Olivier, goes through

one of the donated books.

ART FOR PEACE: The Strand Lions Club

entered four art works from Somerset West

Primary pupils into the annual Lions Inter-

national Peace Poster Contest themed Im-

agine peace. Jin-Ree Lee won first place

and Ha-Eun Park took third place in the

first round of the competition. With them in

the photo is Lions President, Lucille Kruger.

STRAND:OLD LANDMARK REVIVED

Launchof97OnStrand

T

he former Rialto Cinema in

Strand landmarkwhichwas

transformed into 97 On

Strand was recently launched

and has four show apartments

ready for viewing.

Local businessmen Andr du

Plessis and Arjan Ockhuisen took

on the apartment building, which

hadbeenstalled for twoyears,when

semi-completeandhaveupgraded it

significantly.

Raoul Barenblatt, former owner

of the Rialto Cinema outlined the

history of the location, where the

originalmovie housewas owned by

his father from 1935 but burnt down

early one Saturday morning (after

a showing of Hans Die Skipper) in

1952, to be rebuilt withmodern con-

versions in 1980.

The Rialto may no longer exist,

but now a new, modern, beautiful

building is in its place, and I con-

gratulate Arjan and Andr on this

lovely building, and wish them lots

of luck for the future, which they

certainlydeserve, saysBarenblatt.

A commemorative sculpture of a

movie camera was unveiled, which

now graces the entrance area of 97

On Strand.

With sterling views, set in the

heart of the Strand promenade,

close to restaurants and amenities,

interest in these apartments as well

as the commercial element on the

ground floor is strong. Four of the

five shops on the ground floor have

been taken, with negotiations tak-

ing place on the final one, and four

of theapartmentshavealreadybeen

sold.

View the show flats on site, seven

days a week from 10:30 - 16:00. Con-

Are you aman or amouse?

To catch a mouse you need a

mouse trap. The most essen-

tial part of the mouse trap is

the cheese, which is used to

lure the unsuspecting little

fellow to his demise.

In financial services

thereare similar traps,

which alsomake use of

cheese to lure unsus-

pecting consumers to

their financial demise.

Somehow I feel sorrier

for themice, but that is

a topic on its own.

Thisweeklets lookat

two financial traps set

by the banks andmany

retailers.

Trap 1: The credit

card trap. A favourite

trap used by all the

banks, many retailers

and even airlines. The unsus-

pecting consumer is enticed into

applying for a credit card by the

cheese, which comes in many

differenttasty flavoursa fewof

which listed below:

) points exchanged for con-

sumer goods,

)miles exchange for travel

tickets,

) cashrefundsanddiscounted

purchases,

) free benefits e.g. travel in-

surance,

) status appeal (gold, plati-

num etc),

) free credit for up to 60 days,

)monthly prize draws.

The death blow is delivered

just as quickly and brutally as

the mouse trap. Consumers are

encouraged to spend using their

credit cards as often as possible

with only a minimum payment

due at month end.

Unbeknown to the unsuspect-

ing consumer, should he elect to

pay only the minimum amount,

he is charged interest on full

amount due at exorbitant inter-

est rates.

Do you remember the days

when the winning sportsman re-

ceived anoversized cheque? I no-

tice this has been replaced by an

oversized credit card.

Trap 2: The debt

consolidation trap.

Many astute con-

sumers avoid the

credit card trap on-

ly to be caught by

trap 2.

The cheese is

usually a combina-

tion of private

banking facilities

and sound advice

of consolidating

debt at a lower in-

terest rate usually

equivalent to the

bond rate.

The death blow

is skilfully hidden in the repay-

ment structure. The unsuspect-

ing consumers loan repayment

term is now linked to his bond

term. The longer the term of a

loan the lower the monthly pay-

ment, which is surely an added

benefit?Wrong!Byextendingthe

repayment termyoumay be able

toaffordalittlemore,butyouend

up paying much more interest.

In a variation of trap 2 the

banks are now offering home-

buyers 30 year bonds versus the

traditional 20 year bond. This

lowers repayments thus making

the purchase of a home more af-

fordable, but results in the con-

sumer paying much more inter-

est over the term of the bond.

Are you a man or a mouse? I

think I would prefer to be a hun-

grymousethenagreedyconsum-

er; not that it really matters as

bothwill endupgetting the chop.
