GEWAPENDE ROWERS: DRIE VOORVALLE IN 10 DAE
CapeGate wr beroof
DESIRE RORKE
@dezzierorke
D
ie CapeGate-winkelsentrum het die af-
gelope tyd erg deurgeloop onder gewa-
pende rowers, met drie roofvoorvalle
in sowat 10 dae.
In die nuutse insident Maandagaand het
drie gewapende mans op die MTN-winkel in
die sentrum toegeslaan.
Volgens ao. Erica Crous, woordvoerder
van die Brackenfell-polisie, het die voorval
omstreeks 18:55 plaasgevind.
Die drie onbekende mans het volgens
Crous, die MTN-winkel naby Mugg & Bean
binnegegaan en voorgegee dat hulle n foon
wou opgradeer.
Een van die mans het n vuurwapen te
voorskyn gebring en die vier personeellede
in diewinkel beveel omagter na die stoorka-
mer te gaan en om nie na hulle (die verdag-
tes) te kyk nie.
Volgens Crous het die verdagtes die win-
kel deur die agterdeur verlaat, nadat hulle
een van die personeellede se motorsleutels
geneem het.
Hulle het met hul buit slimfone en skoot-
rekenaars in di personeellid se silwer
Ford Fiesta van die toneel af weggery.
Crous het ges niemand is tydens die voor-
val beseer nie. Niemand is nog tot op hede
in hegtenis geneem nie.
n Saak van besigheidsroof word deur die
polisie ondersoek.
Kitskoswinkel
Net drie dae voor di voorval, is die Bur-
ger King-kitskoswinkel beroof, maar dank-
sy die flink optrede van n karwag en n lid
van die publiek is die vyf verdagtes etlike
minute later aangekeer.
Crous s drie van die verdagtes het Vry-
dag om 23:25 die winkel binnegestap vanaf
die agterdeur, wat van die brandtrap lei.
Die winkel was reeds gesluit en die perso-
neel besig om skoon te maak en af te sluit.
Een van diemanswas gewapen enhet die
twee bestuurders in die kantoor met n pis-
tool aangehou, terwyl hulle die kluis moes
oopsluit.
Hulle het te voet gevlugmet n onbekende
bedrag kontant, s sy.
Een van die sentrum se wagte het die ver-
dagtes agterna gesit na die parkeer-area bui-
tekant die Mugg & Bean-koffiewinkel.
Een vermeende rower het in n rooi Toyo-
ta Corolla ingespring en weggejaag, maar n
karwag wat die petalje aanskou het, het ge-
hardloop om die hoofingang se hek toe te
maak, vertel Crouse.
Die rower is gevolglik deur die wag aange-
keer, in hegtenis geneem en aan die polisie
oorhandig.
Verdagte
Intussenhet die bestuurder van n insleep-
voertuig die polisie gekontak oor n verdagte
voertuig wat op en af in Okavangoweg voor
die sentrum verbygery en twee mans opge-
laai het.
Ao. Lester Shortles en sers. Sabelo
Mpambani het gereageer, die voertuig vin-
nig gevind en agterna gesit. Hulle het gesien
hoe iets by die venster uitvlieg, sekondes
voor die voertuig tot stilstand gekom het.

VERVOLG VAN BLADSY 1
Viermans het uitgeklim en nadat die pistool
wat uitgegooi is, teruggevind is, is die mans
in hegtenis geneem vir die besit van n on-
wettige vuurwapen.
Kringtelevisie-beeldmateriaal van die
sentrumkon diemans latermet die roof ver-
bind.
Al vyf mans is van Khayelitsha.
Die vyf vermeende rowers tussen die ou-
derdomme van 25 en 28 het Maandagog-
gend in die Bluedowns-landdroshof verskyn
op aanklagte van gewapende roof en die be-
sit van n onwettige vuurwapen. Die onder-
soek duur steeds voort en die polisie versoek
die publiek om na vore te kom met meer in-
ligting. Ao. Hennie Jacobs, ondersoekbe-
ampte, kan geskakel word by 021 983 1940 in
di verband
Die vorige week het twee rowers met n
voorliefde vir duur selfone 27 selfone by Au-
topage, ook in die sentrum, geroof.
Ao. Ronald Kuhn van die polisie in Brac-
kenfell, s die twee mans het verlede Sater-
dag omstreeks 18:20 by die Altech Autopage-
winkel ingestap en die selfone gegaps. (Sien
volledige storie op www.tygerburger.co.za.)
Di rooftog toon ooreenkomste met n
voorval in Maart vanjaar toe vier rowers
personeel van Sportscene na die agterkant
van die winkel gedwing het, voor die rowers
ook met selfone en kontant gevlug het.
Niemand is nog in verband met die voor-
val in hegtenis geneem nie, hoewel die poli-
sie nog besig is om na opnames van die
kringtelevisie te kyk.
Amanda McCarthy, bemarkingsbestuur-
der van die sentrum, s dat sekerheidspatro-
lies verskerp is.
Ons neem die veiligheid van ons huur-
ders en besoekers baie ernstig op. Ons vra

A
fter 64 years and contacting a total of
359 countries and islands, world re-
nowned amateur radio ham Dennis
Wells of Durbanville reached the pinnacle
of his hobby.
Wells (85), whose call sign ZS1AU is well-
known in international radio ham circles,
has just received a #1 honour roll plaque
from the American Radio Relay League for
achieving a full house.
A full house is the achievement of making
radio contact with each and every country
or island on the planet where a radio ama-
teur operates. In radio ham jargon they are
known as entities, due to the fact that some
are not countries as such, but barely more
than a rock sticking out of the water.
Dennis achieved his spot on the honour
roll despite a heart attack in September last
year and his computer crashing at the time
of an important DXpedition, which is a trip
to set up a radio relay in an area often re-
mote where few radio hams operate.
Additionally, a tropical storm caused a
DXpedition to a remote Pacific Ocean island
to be cancelled halfway through, and some
entities he had already contacted over the
years had been renamed, meaning he had to
contact them again.
Career highlight
When Dennis took TygerBurger into his
shack, which is what he calls his radio
equipment room at his house in The Pad-
docks inBowlersAvenue, he enthusedabout
how lucky he was to make contact among
40 000 others. The suspense when dialling in
to a remote station was palpable. One could
almost feel the oceanmist on your face from
the 2007 DXpedition to the Scarborough reef
in the South China sea, a mere rock sticking
out of the ocean where a platform for the ra-
dio station was built.
When a destination is so remote, nobody
ever goes there, these DXpeditions are or-
ganised to help radio hams all around the
world to be able to make contact. If youmiss
out on it, you may have to wait another 10
years for another opportunity, he explains.
Contacting Scarborough reef was one of
the highlights of his amateur radio career.
Another was a trip to Sable island in the
NorthAtlanticOceannearCanada inMarch
2011, which he reached by using sixth sense
to tune in to the right frequency and recog-
nising thevoice of oneof the expedition team
members after his computer crashed.
Sable island is the pinnacle of DXing in
the world, he said.
He has been doing it for years, but the pos-
sibility of reaching a full house became a
realistic challenge when he was approached
in October 2010 by the awards manager and
a field checker for theAmericanRadioRelay
League in South Africa. He was invited to
submit his application for free membership
to theDXCenturyClub runby theAmerican
Radio Relay League.
What transpired after that caused a big
splash in the records of our DXers in South
Africa and in 2011, he was awarded a DXCC
honour roll plaque for being within 10 of the
top of the total of 331 countries and islands
in the world the 10 most remote and most
rare ones.
This in itself was a rare milestone in our
South African radio amateurs ability to get
this far. Hemanaged that with a total of 334
three more than what was necessary.
It takes decades or even longer to
achieve. He also reached another 19 coun-
tries, which no longer existed or were re-
named, totalling 359 countries.
This is the highest total in Africa, and
reaching a full house is also a first for Cape
Town.
How I got here is a miracle. I got the feel-
ing of Atlas when the world was lifted off his
shoulders, he said.
The last six countries (entities) he reached
were Somalia, Sudan, Yemen, Malpelo is-
land, Myanmar (previously Burma) and the
very last Mellish reef a mere sandbank on-
ly a few hundred metres long off the east
coast of Australia.
The cost of this operation was about half
a million rand and was intended for ten
days, but a huge tropical storm caused them
to leave after only a week.
I got in their log book a few hours before
they left in a hurry! I was very, very fortu-
nate as theymade contact with over 40 thou-
sand stations and Iwas oneof them!he said.
If I did not get them, I would have missed
out on this #1 in the world award he said.
TygerBurger reported onWellss hobby in
2010 when he celebrated 60 years of amateur
radio. He is a member of the Oakdale Club
in Bellville, honorary life member of the
Cape Town Club since 2003 and honorary
member of the SA Radio League since 2006.

T
he citys five landfill sites are rapid-
ly reaching capacity, but still there
is no obvious recycling plan inmany
of the suburbs.
According to Clive Justus, chairperson
of Subcouncil 4, the city has no mandate
to facilitate recycling, but they are en-
couraging people to do so, for their own
as well as the environments sake.
I dont bother to recycle, says one
Parow resident, because I would not
even know where to take everything. Be-
sides, the trolley people go through all the
trash and I suppose they will take what
can be recycled.
But at the same time many residents
are complaining that the trolley people
make a mess and bring crime to the area.
According to Justus it is crucial that
communities become mobilised toward
recycling.
There are many recycling pro-
grammes, he says. At the De Grendel
drop-off site next to Ajax you can dump
anything from garden refuse to building
rubble, oil, glass, e-waste (like batteries
and light bulbs), paper and even old furni-
ture. They have a very neat operation
running there.
And what people do not know is that
you can buy material from them again. I
saw some bricks there that we want to
buy for the Goodwood Lions, to make
some paving for the club.
Someone also left window frames
there, complete with burglar bars. They
canbe put to gooduse again, says Justus.
Someone dumped an old double bed
right outside my office.
What were they thinking? Here it will
be torn apart until the metal inside the
mattress canbe takenout and the restwill
be left there.
Justus says in Pinelands and Hout Bay
almost 98% of residents take part in the
recycling culture.
They put all dry refuse in see-through
plastic bags and the bergies come to col-
lect the bags. The re-
cycling company re-
alised that the trolley
people have a head
start, they get to the
bags first, sonow they
pay them to collect
the bags and take
them to a collection
point where the truck
picks up the bags. It is
a very impressive so-
lution.
But, says Justus,
mindsets still have to
change in the north-
ern suburbs.
We had a pilot
study some time ago
in Durbanville, where we provided 44 000
green bins for recycling. All you had to
do was to collect the bin and put all your
dry waste inside. But only 11 000 bins
were collected. In the end we had to drop
the rest off at 33 000 households.
He says there was almost no effort ex-
pected from the people who took part in
this study, because they didnot evenhave
to sort the recyclables out. It all went to
Bloekombos, a world class sorting and re-
cycling plant.
According to the department of Sus-
tainability at the University of Stellen-
bosch, at least 50% of refuse can be recy-
cled.
And, says Justus, almost everything
else can be composted.
At Grand West there is a worm farm.
All the biodegradables are put in there
and then it is digested by the earthworms.
The worms are all too happy there! And
the liquid the worms produce is drained
to a tap and that liquid, a very potent ferti-
liser, is sold again by the litre, he says.
Where can you to go
to recycle?
V De Grendel drop-
off facility on the cor-
ner of 5th Avenue and
Bertie Genade Street,
Parow as well as the
Welgelegen site in
Akademie street take
general waste, cans
and metal, paper,
cardboard, glass,
plastic and builders
rubble.
V At the Tygerdal
drop-off facility in Or-
ange Street, Good-
wood, youcandropoff
all of the above, but
garden refuse too.
V General waste, garden waste, motor
oil and builders rubble can go to the Bel-
lville Sacks Circle landfill site.
V Cape Waste Paper in Beaconvale and
Mondi recycling in Parow buy back pa-
per. Cape Waste Paper will also buy back
plastic. You can drop-off paper at Isolite
Moulding in Garrett Street at Tygeberg
hospital too.
V Vulindlela Waste Management in
Parow buys glass, metal, organic waste
and other material.
V Go to www.capetown.gov.za/en/Solidwaste2/
to find links to a number of contractors endorsed
by the City of Cape Town who collect recycling
from businesses and who do onsite waste man
agement and recycling.
Recycling urged as landfills fill
The recycling company
realised that the trolley
people have a head start,
they get to the bags
first, so now they pay
themto collect the bags
and take themto a col
lection pointwhere the
truck picks up the bags.

hrough her role as an early literacy
trainer for the Nalibali reading-
for-enjoyment campaign, Portia
Daniso from Kraaifontein gets to do
what she loves best: ignite a love of read-
ing among South Africas youth, as well
as the adults around them.
When children read or hear stories,
it stretches their imagination and opens
up new worlds for them. They are ex-
posed to new situations and places and
learn to think for themselves, boosting
their self-esteem and confidence in the
classroom, Daniso says.
Inspired by her own experiences as a
young girl listening to the intsomi or
fairytales her grandmother would tell
her in the evenings, Daniso is excited by
the power of books and stories to spark
all childrens potential andhelp thembe-
come better learners at school.
Head start
Research has shown, children who
read or share stories with a caregiver or
loved ones before they start school, real-
ly have a head start in school and life
as this activity helps to develop their
emotional and intellectual intelligence,
Daniso explains.
Growing up in Kraaifontein, I real-
ised thatnot all the children inmyneigh-
bourhood enjoyed the same storytelling
experiences I had, and it became impor-
tant to me to give back, she continues.
Motivated by a commitment to commu-
nity upliftment, Daniso started her ca-
reer in literacy as an Early Childhood
Development practitioner. She was
drawn to theNalibali campaignbecause
of its focus on reading for enjoyment
as children who have enjoyable story-
telling and reading experiences at home
are more likely to be motivated to read.
Now she is a training support officer
for PRAESA (the Project for the Study of
Alternative Education in South Africa),
which has over 20 years in community
literacy development and is driving the
Nalibali campaign together with part-
ners. Daniso trains men and women of
all ages in English and isiXhosa on how
to engage children, including babies and
infants, with books and stories in every-
day life.
Sometimes, reading aloud and shar-
ing stories with children can take a bit
of getting used to, especially if the adults
we work with havent had any practice,
but it doesnt take long before they are
surprised by how easy and fun it is.
No talent needed
The best part for me is when people
realise that anyone of any age or lan-
guage can do it and that no special skills
or talents are needed. And, we dont only
show them how to tell stories or get chil-
dren excited about books and reading,
we also demonstrate things like writing,
singing songs and playing games related
to literacy. So its always a lot of fun.
Not content with simply training oth-
ers, Daniso has formed a reading club of
her own. She encourages children and
caregivers from across Kraaifontein to
attend her club at no cost sometimes
with as many as 60 children attending
each week.
But Daniso doesnt mind, saying she
is motivated by the smiles on their faces
and the enthusiasm the children bring
to the reading club sessions.
Danisos club meets at 14:00 at the Ol-
ungje Homebase Educare every Satur-
day. Attendance is free. Contact Daniso
on 084 807 1145 should you or your child
wish to attend.
V Formore information to set up your own read
ing club or for tips and stories to enjoy at home

Indigenous Africanis a perfect rainbow nation dog
JENNIFER DAVIES
There are very few
true canine landraces
left in the world, and
South Africa can be
proud to have one of them, the Africanis.
Youwill likely have seen them in rural ar-
eas graceful, well-balanced dogs with
smooth coats in a multitude of colours and
patterns over long, lean-muscled limbs.
TheAfricanis dog is a landrace a result
of centuries of natural selection and adapta-
tion. Unlike a landrace, breeds such as grey-
hounds or labradors have been created by
humans choosing specific traits such as
hunting skill or fur colour. They are selec-
tively bred for uniform behaviour and ap-
pearance. However, as
soon as you standard-
ise a landrace with se-
lective breeding it be-
comes a breed, not a
landrace. Africanis
dogs are not uniform in
appearance as it is an umbrella term for a
few different strains.
They are generally medium-sized with a
slender build, wedge-shaped heads and long
muzzles. Their short coats are usually light-
brown, but can be brindled or patched. Some
also have a ridgeback.
A feature common to them all is their ex-
pressive faces and beautiful, soulful eyes
ringed with black eyeliner markings.
They are agile, hardy, fast, very alert and
tend to have very few health problems.
But it is their personality that makes the
Africanis really special. Having evolved
alongside people, they tend to be exception-
ally good-natured, even-tempered, loyal and
protective.
If you want a dog perfectly adapted to our
climate, generally issue free, and a wonder-
ful companion, protector, and friend, then
adopt an Africanis or Africanis-mix dog.
You will never look back.
The Fisantekraal AnimalWelfare has sev-
eral Africanis-type dogs for adoption. The
adoption fee is R500 for adult dogs. This in-
cludes spaying or neutering, vaccinations
and deworming.
Phone 084 505 2324 or send an email to in-
[email protected] with enquiries.

L
ocal police are hosting a spin-a-
thon this Saturday to involve the
public in their upcoming bicycle
tour along the west coast later this year.
The tour, now in its third year and the
only one of its kind in theWestern Cape,
aims to raise much needed funds for the
South African Police Service (SAPS) Ed-
ucation Trust.
We invite members of the public to
join us and to come sweat with us. A 30
minute spinning session at the spinath-
on will cost you R50 and all the money
will go toward the fund, not to mention
the solidarity of our community, which
will go a long way in our preparation for
the tour, said W/O Ronald Kuhn.
Worthy cause
The spinathonwill take place between
09:00 and 16:30 at the new Brackenfell
Centre (Pick n Pay).
We hope to attract hundreds of fellow
cyling enthusiasts to assist us with this
worthy cause, while the members them-
selves will spin for the last session be-
tween 16:30 and 17:00, he says, adding
that prizes and lucky draws will take
place throughout the day.
The actual cycle tour sets off on 11 Sep-
tember for aweek of cycling between the
West coast and Cape Town.
Several members of the Brackenfell
and Kraaifontein police stations will
take part in it.
The SAPS Education Trust was estab-
lished in 2010 to benefit children whose
parents have died in the line of duty.
Often time these officers died fairly
young and in most cases it was almost
impossible for their families to live on
their pension payouts, especially when
it comes to tertiary education.
When the fund was launched a few
years ago, then Police minister Nathi
Mthethwa stressed that no monetary
value couldbeplacedon the lives of slain
police officers.
However, he said that the best legacy
would be to invest in the education of the
children of these policemen.
Highest contributor
An amount of R56 000 was raised
through last years cycle tour, and local
members aim to better this by raising
R100 000 this year.
Lt Gen Arno Lamoer, who accepted
the cheque at a gala event in June last
year, thanked cyclists for their initia-
tive and confirmed that the Western
Cape Provincial Police is the highest
contributor to this fund to date.
Wehave donatedR200 000 so far, with
the other provincial police departments
in the country not having contributed a
cent as yet, he said at the time.
He stated that he would make sure
that the children of fallen policemen in
the Western Cape benefit from the fund
in order to complete school and tertiary
education.
V Those interested to join local policemen at the
Spinathon on Saturday may contact Ronald
Kuhn on 082 821 0551.

F
okus op dit wat mooi en reg is en gee
positiewe terugvoer, is die raad van
die kindersielkundige Hugo Theron
in die eerste van n reeks van twee praat-
jies die afgelope twee Sondae oor tieners,
tegnologie en die uitdagings van ouerskap
in die NG Kerk Durbanville.
Tieners is soosCharlesDickens seA ta-
le of two cities. n Mens het die beste van
tye en ook die slegste van tye. Dit som ado-
lossensie op. Iets wat ouers moet onthou,
is dat die meeste tieners aangename en
goeie kinders is, het hy ges.
Volgenshomontstaankonflik asdie ver-
antwoordelikheid wat ouers van hul tie-
ners verwag, nie ooreenstem met die vry-
heid wat tieners vra nie.
Ouers wil h hul kinders moet verant-
woordelikheid h as hulle uit die huis
gaan, maar hulle moet dit rens leer.
Wat is dit wat kinders moet bemeester
op reis van kind na volwassene?
Tieners moet aanpas by n veranderen-
de lyf en die gevoelens wat daarmee saam-
gaan. Tieners moet ook abstrakte denke
aanleer die impak daarvan nie net op
akademiese gebied nie, maar ook wat be-
tref godsdiens, kultuur, waardes en die
doel van die lewe. Dis asof tieners se koppe
letterlik ontplof met gedagtes, s hy.
Hulle moet ook leer om dinge in per-
spektief te sien en om hulle in ander se
skoene in te dink, empatie ontwikkel en
verstaan dat hul ouers ook moeg en ver-
keerd kan wees.
Dit gebeur nie outomaties nie, maar
ons as ouers moet as mentors optree, het
Theron voortgegaan.
Tieners moet leer om besluite te neem,
probleme op te los en konflik te bestuur.
Hulle moet ook hul eie persoonlike waar-
desisteem uitsorteer. Dis n intense pro-
ses. Hulle kry n tas wat hul ouers vir hul-
le gepak het, maar hulle moet nou self be-
sluitwathulle nie daarinwil hnie enkies
wat hulle daarin wil h.
Iets wat die grootste invloed het op tie-
ners op n daaglikse basis, is hul vriend-
skappe. Dit het n baie
groot invloed op hul waar-
desisteme en is die sement
vanbelangrike aspekte van
hul eie identiteit. Terself-
dertyd verwag die samele-
wing kinders moet beweeg
in die rigting vanmeer ver-
antwoordelikheid en vol-
wassenheid, s Theron.
Ons plaas baie druk op
ons kinders en verwag hul-
le moet op 17-jarige ouer-
dom kies wat hulle vir die
res van hul lewens moet
doen. Die verhouding tus-
sen tieners en hul ouers moet heronder-
handel word.
Jy sal nie jou kind van 5 jaar alleen by
die huis los nie, maar sal maklik n aand
uitgaan en jou kind van 17 jaar by die huis
los. Dit impliseer n verandering in rol,
het hy ges.
Vir ouers is daar vyf basiese take. Jy
moet weet hoe om lief te wees vir iemand
wat dit glad nie wil h nie en sorg dat daar
n konneksie met jou kind bly. Al wat jy
het, is n verhouding met jou kind. As jy
nie daaraan werk nie, het jy niks.
Omtrent alles in jou tiener se wreld
verander jou liefdemoet nie een daarvan
wees nie. Ouers moet hul tieners monitor
sonderdat dit soos n strafkamp is.Tieners
voel ongemaklik met n omgewing waar
geen rels is nie, maar jy moet hulle toe-
laat om hul s te s. Jy wil n kind groot-
maakwat nie oor hulle laat loop in vriend-
skappe, bydiewerkpleken inverhoudings
nie. Theron het ges ouers moet die
energie en vreugde wat tieners in n ge-
sprek en in hul gesin inbring, waardeer.
Bring tyd met jou tiener deur; maak n
afspraak as jul albei besig is.
Ouersmoet asmentor op-
tree en betrokke bly en be-
wus wees van hul kind se
doen en late, sy/haar skool-
werk en punte ennaskoolse
aktiwiteite, asook hul
vriendskappe en verhou-
dings met ander volwasse-
nes.
Die fokus verskuif egter
van direkte monitering na
indirekte monitering deur
gesprekke, kommunikasie
en terugvoer.
Gesinsrels is ook steeds
belangrik. Rels oor vei-
ligheid is byvoorbeeld ononderhandel-
baar, terwyl rels soos huistake, slaap- en
inkomtye onderhandel kan word.
Theron het ges dont sweat the small
stuff. Ouersmoetweetwat om te laat gaan.
Loosen up, but dont let go, s hy.
Ouersmoet ook aanhou voorsien en ver-
sorg wat betref kos, klere, n tuiste en op-
voeding.
V Besoek die kerk sewebblad bywww.durbanville
gemeente.co.za vir n video van die praatjie.
V Die kerk bied ook n kursus oor ouerskap met
die titel Padlangs Ouerskap aan op Woensdae
vanaf 13 Augustus. Dit begin 18:00 in die lesinglo
kaal. Die kursus is nienet vir ouersmetklein kinders

n
Piepklein waterskilpadjie het
verlede week sy opwagting ge-
maak op n teerpad inVierlanden,
Durbanville.
Belinda Sharp, wat in Vierlanden
woon, vertel dat sy verlede Woensdag-
middag kort voor drie-uur die teer sien
beweeghet toe sy inBotterblomstraat ry
op pad om haar kinders by die skool te
gaan haal.
Skoendoos
Sy het die klein skilpadjie opgetel en in
n skoendoos gesit, wat in die kar was.
Dit was skaars groter as n R5-muntstuk.
Terwyl sy ry, het die diertjie n aardige
reuk afgeskei. Dit het verskriklik ge-
stink kompleet soos seewater. Sy het
later gehoor dat waterskilpaaie kliere op
hul agterpote het, wat n stof afskei om
hul vyande af te skrik.
Sy het n foto vir haar diereliefhebber-
broer, BernardVoges van Langebaan, ge-
stuur en hy het bevestig dis wel n water-
skilpadjie.
Die bekende avonturier en motive-
ringspreker, Braam Malherbe, met wie
sy bevriend is, het ook bevestig dis n
moeras-waterskilpadjie (marsh terra-
pin).
Bespiegel
Oor hoe dit daar in die teerpad gekom
het, kan nmensnet bespiegel, sBelinda.
Daar is wel n dam daar naby op die hoek
van Murray- en Stuiwerstraat.
Malherbe gaan die diertjie nou aan-
neem en saammet sy ander eksotiese die-
re aanhou tot dit groot genoeg is om vry-
gelaat te word.
Intussen voer Belinda die skilpadjie
rou maalvleis en bly hy onder n stukkie
boombas in n blyplek wat sy vir hom in-
gerig het.
Ek is nou nie so n groot diereliefheb-
ber nie, maar die dingetjie is wragtig ou-
lik en het nogal persoonlikheid, koer sy.

Absa, together with Sabric (South African
BankingRisk InformationCentre)warnspe-
ople to be careful when banking.
They are appealing to bank customers to
refrain from carrying large sums of cash in
order to lessen their exposure to the risk of
being robbed.
Criminals look out for people making lar-
ge cash withdrawals inside bank branches
then rob them when they leave the bank or
are en route to their destination.
Absa has through Sabric been educating
the public on the dangers of carrying cash.
The bank places a place a high premium
on their customers andurge them to observe
the following general tips for carrying cash
safely and avoid becoming victims of crime
when leaving the bank:
VBe observant of your surroundingswhen
carrying large sums of cash. If you believe
you are being followed, report to the police
immediately
VDo not allow anyone to distract you and
avoid social conversations with strangers
VAvoid informing people (even close asso-
ciates) that you are going to draw or deposit
money at a bank
VThe amount of money you have should
be a secret. Boasting about it may put you
at risk
VDo not carry cash in bank bags, briefca-
ses or any manner that will make it obvious
to strangers as this make you a target of at-
tacks
VDont carry more cash on you than you

ie mediese noodhulpdiens ER24 s n
gevaarlikenuwe foefiewaarinkinders
hulself aan die brand moet steek om
waagmoed te wys, is gelukkig nog nie in die
noordelike voorstede gerapporteer nie.
Werner Vermaak, woordvoerder van di
noodhulpdiens, het Saterdag ges hy en sy
span het navorsing oor die nuwe vuur-uit-
daging-verskynsel gaan doen, nadat hulle
iemand op YouTube opgespoor het wie se
uitsluitlike doel dit is om sulke gevaarlike
speletjies die wreld in te stuur.
n Vorige soortgelyke speletjie was die een
waarin mense meestal kinders mekaar
moes verwurg totdat hulle flou word, om glo
n gevoel van euforie te beleef net voordat
bewusteloosheid of die dood intree.
Die sogenaamde neknominations is ook
n onlangse een.
Di speletjie verwag van die deelnemer
omhulself te verfilm terwyl hy/sy n alkoho-
liese drankie, gewoonlik bier, in een asem-
teug wegslaan en dan die video op die inter-
net laai. Die deelnemer nomineer dan twee
ander om dieselfde te doen.
Ons wou met di nuwe gier die publiek
vroer beginwaarsku.Onswilmense bewus
maak daarvan,want dit begin al klaar rond-
loop, en kinders kyk mos na di of daardie
nuwe gier, het hy ges.
Verwurging
Met die laaste gier, verwurging, het ons
eers heelwat n die aanvang uitgevind daar-
van. Werner s di skok-speletjie, waarin
meestal kinders hulself met enige vlambare
vloeistowwe bespuit en oortrek en dan aan
die brand steek om te sien wat die uiteinde
daarvan sal wees , het nog nie die noordeli-
ke voorstede getref nie. Hy s as deel van hul
navorsing oor die nuwe verskynsel, het hy
en sy span rekords van brandwonde nage-
gaan om spesifiek te kyk waar di gier die
oorsaak daarvan kon wees, maar kon nie
enige sulke gevalle opspoor nie.
Ons het gelukkig nog geen oproepe ont-
vang, of enige gewondes gevind wat ons aan
di speletjie kon toeskryf nie, het hy ges.
Hy s egter op van die beeldmateriaal wat
hulle oor die vuur-uitdaging gesien het,
skree die mense van die pyn.
Dis n uitdaging wat soos n virus ver-
sprei het op sosiale media, waar die deelne-
mer gewilliglik hulself aan die brand steek
deur vlambare vloeistowwe aan hulself te
wend, soos om alkohol aan hul lyf te smeer,
en om dan die uiteinde te verfilm.
Die uitdaging is om jouself aan die brand
te steek en dan die vlamme so gou moontlik
te blus, maar dit het selde n wenslike uit-
koms, s Werner.
Borshare
Hy s die eerste so n video wat hulle kon
vind, dateer terug na April 2012, waarin n
YouTube-gebruiker glo sy borshare aan die
brand steek. Di video het meer as 100 000
trefslae gekry, sWerner. Hy s diemees on-
langse geval was op 24 Julie en is in n aan-
lynkoerant gepubliseer. n Kind het in di
voorval gesterf nadat sy vriende die vlamme
nie gou genoeg kon blus nie.
Hierdie uitdagings raak nie nt kinders
nie, maar ook volwassenes.

Werkloosheidsvlakke in
Suid-Afrika is baie hoog. Dit
beteken gesinne sonder inkom-
ste en armoede.
Daar is n aantal oplossings
wat die probleem doeltreffend
kan aanspreek.
Suid-Afrikaners is oor
dekades bekend vir hulle
vindingrykheid.
Goeie onderwys is die eerste
groot stap wat noodsaaklik is
om n inkomste te verseker.
Prof. Jonathan Jansen het
onlangs die boek Fixing our
schools in South Africa geskryf.
Die boek ontleed die onder-
wys-situasie in Suid-Afrika
volledig en hy kom as onder-
wyskundige met waardevolle
en konstruktiewe oplossings.
n Studie is gedoen om 19
suksesvolle skole in die nege
provinsies van Suid-Afrika te
identifiseer. Die meerderheid
kom uit townships.
Daar is ook n gestruktureer-
de proses van werksessies om
skoolhoofde en onderwysers
wat belangstel, deur n ekspo-
nensile leerskool te neem om
n vernuwingsproses in die
onderwys teweeg te bring.
Die uitdaging van Christene
in sleutelposisies is om di
boek te bekom, te bestudeer en
leiers in die onderwys te
bevriend.
Wanneer n brug gebou is,
moet die goeie nuus versprei
word om sodoende n geleent-
heid te benut om ons onderwys
suksesvol te hervorm.

On Friday 18 July I returned
to a cold and wet Cape Town
after spending an enjoyable
holiday with my family in
Florida, USA.
On the way from the airport,
travelling along Mike Pienaar
Boulevard, we came across a
group of homeless people.
It could have been 10 or 20
people sheltering under the
bridge with little cover except
for bits of cardboard and
plastic.
What can be done to help
these people? Even my dog
sleeps in a nice, warm bed.

n Week gelede lui n bruin
man ligte vel, bleskop, effens
oorgewig, dalk so in sy laat
40s en Engelssprekend my
voordeurklokkie in Brackenfell-
hoogte.
Hy stel homself bekend as
Patrick Maleme, maar ek weet
Wees opdie uitkyk
vir ondankbareman
nie of dit sy werklike naam is
nie.
Hy het n groot, swart harde-
bandboek by hom, waarin n
mens kan opskryf as jy n
donasie wil maak. In die boek
is n getikte brief wat beves-
tig dat hy aangestel is om
donasies in te vorder vir
behoeftiges for the needy.
Ek gee hom n groot sak klere
in uitstekende toestand, n paar
blikkies kos en ander nie-be-
derfbare kos-items, asook n
klompie skryfbehoeftes wat ek
al vir baie jare eenkant hou
met die spesifieke doel om dit
te skenk aan kinders wat dit
moontlik mag gebruik.
In die boek word n mens se
naam en adres kamstig opge-
skryf, sodat n dankie-s-skrywe
aan jou gerig kan word.
n Dag later stap ek n bietjie
om die blok van my woning en
ek sien hoe die skryfbehoeftes
gestrooi l tussen die onkruid
op die sypaadjie, nat geren.
Wees bedag vir hierdie man.
Ongelukkig beteken sy ondank-
bare optrede nou dat ek nie van
verdere hulp sal wees aan
persone wat by my aanklop nie.
Ek sal voortaan uiters versigtig
wees aan wie ek skenkings
doen.
LAASTE KEER VIR N POP GEVAT

The murder of four-year-old
Taegrin Morris from Reiger
Park, Johannesburg, would
almost certainly not have
happened if the traffic policing
demanded for many years by
my Road Safety Action Cam-
paign (RSAC) had been in
place.
In addition, if the other road
safety measures demanded
since 2005 by the RSAC were in
place, the countrys road
carnage could have been
reduced by up to 90%.
Those who failed to act
include the ANC government,
all opposition political parties
and the public protector all of
whom were approached repeat-
edly but failed to act.
Currently only the DA has
responded, but has not yet
implemented the required
measures in the province or
city where it exercises political
control.
The RSAC calls on all South
Africans to support action to
end our road carnage. Those
who wish to assist may call me

SLICE OF LIFE
Optrede van
sterk vroue
weer gedenk
Hierdie hoofartikel handel skaamteloos
oor vroue natuurlik in die lig van
Saterdag, Vrouedag. Di dag gedenk 9
Augustus 1956 toe vroue reg oor die land
teen die pasboeke protes aangeteken het.
Dit stem ooreen met wat Marilyn
Monroe ges het: Well behaved women
rarely make history. Di vroue het teen
alle rels opgetree en hier gedenk ons dit.
Syt ook opgemerk: Women who wants
to be equal to men, lack ambition, maar
gelukkig het vroue lankal di les geleer.
n Anonieme vrou word op die internet
aangehaal: Heres to strong women: may
we know them, may we be them, may we
raise them. Sela.
Albert Einstein sluit hierby aan: A
woman who follows the crowd will
usually not go further than the crowd. A
woman who walks alone, is likely to find
herself in places no-one has been before.
Ongeag jou persoonlike mening, vroue
bly wonderlike wesens, die gom wat
gesinne bymekaar hou, van huise tuistes
maak, onder geen omstandighede ophou
om haar kinders lief te h nie, en altyd
reg is om uit hart en hand te gee.
Maak nie saak hoe sterk en tough n
vrou mag wees nie, uiteindelik het sy ook
maar net koestering en liefde nodig
sodat sy het om uit te deel. Oscar
Wilde het dt verstaan: Women are
meant to be loved, not to be understood.
En die laaste wyse woorde oor wat
vroue nog graag wil h en nodig het, kom
van Aristotle Onassis: If women didnt
exist, all the money in the world would
have no meaning!

People who photograph a rare object or en-
dangered species with their cellphones
could inadvertently assist criminals or
poachers.
Geotagging, a function on smart phones
and tablets that adds geographical informa-
tion to the photographs and videos one
takes, can be retrieved by criminals when
viewing the footage on social websites.
Geotagging lets viewers know where a
picture was taken. While this is great for a
beautiful view, its a risk for endangered
wildlife, explains Ettienne Jacques Kyler,
the biodiversity area coordinator of the
Blaauwberg region.
Roy Fuller-Gee, chairperson of the
Friends of theBlaauwbergConservationAr-
ea, adds that this does not only apply to en-
dangered animals, but any rare items.
There are a number of critically endan-
gered plants and medicinal plants in the re-
serve.Geotagging can lead someone straight
to historical or cultural artefacts. There has
been theft of Battle of Blaauwberg items
from the battlefield before. Geotagging can
even lead someone to a collection of paint-
ings in private homes, says Fuller-Gee.
Kyler says some technology automatical-
ly records the GPS location for every image
one takes, information included when up-
loaded to the web.
On smart phones, geotagging is automat-
ically turned on, so you have to turn it off
if you dont want to reveal the location of all
your pictures. On an iPhone you press Set-
tings and select General, then Location
Services. Disable the applications that
make use of GPS information. On Blackber-
ry, select the camera icon. Press Menu, fol-
lowedby Options. Set the geotaggingoption
to Disabled and save. On Android activate
the camera and press the settings button.

If vagrants take garbage from a refuse bin,
is it theirs?Andwhat if amember of the pub-
lic then takes thevagrants bag? Is that theft?
These questions came to the fore after a
Parklands woman recently seized a va-
grants bag and refused to give it back.
Outgoing community police forum chair-
person Andrew Brace, and previous princi-
pal inspector of the Displaced Peoples Unit
(DPU), Wayne Aldridge, clarified the matter
to TygerBurger.
If you put something into the municipal
refuse bin with the intention of throwing it
away and move the bin off your property
then the contents of the bin belongs to the
City of Cape Town. While the bin is on your
property it still belongs to you.
He says amember of the public has as little
right to take a vagrants bag as it is for the
vagrant to take something out of the dustbin
and putting it in there.
In such a situation Aldridge says it is best
to notify the police, who are within their
rights to seize the bag. It is up to the street
person to prove that whatever is in that bag
belongs to him or her, he continues.
One thing is certain,members of the pub-
lic should be very careful they dont subject
themselves to a charge of assault while they
try to remove a bag, which in reality does
not belong to them.
Brace says the DPU can remove a variety
of items from vagrants.

With 35 years of hits to choose from, French
pianis, Richard Clayderman will be sharing
some of his repertoire with South African
audiences in October.
It has been 25 years
since the legendary musi-
cian has played in the
country.
Richard said he has
been contacted from time
to time in the past to per-
formhere butwhile he en-
joys South Africa, his
schedule didnt allow for
shows. This time, promot-
er Louis vanWyk contact-
ed him well in advance
and Richard says its
thanks to him that hell be
returning.
At the age of just 12, the
world-famous performer
was accepted into the
prestigiousmusic college,
Conservatoire de Paris.
He was on his way to a promising career
as a classical pianist when his father fell ill,
forcing him to take a job as a bank clerk and
accompanist to contemporary bands to
shoulder the financial responsibilities.
His big break came in 1976, when he beat
20 other pianists auditioning to play Bal-
lade pour Adeline, a song written by Paul
de Senneville.
Back then though, Clayderman was still
performing under his real name, Philippe
Pags. Together with Paul and producer, Ol-
ivier Toussaint, Richard took on his grand-
mothers surname, to avoid his name being
mispronounced.
Ballade pour Adeline, which Paul wrote
for his new daughter, went on to sell 34 mil-
lion copies in 38 countries.
Since then, Clayderman has recorded 1300
melodies and his soft touch and romantic
style have earned him the title, The Prince
of Romance, a nickname given him by
former United States first lady Nancy Rea-
gan.
Richard says he thanks
God every day for the
chance to perform in so
many countries for so
many years. When asked
what keeps him inspired,
he says: There are hun-
dreds and thousands of
talented pianists in the
world who do not have the
chance to play in concert
or record some albums in
studios so.... how could I
not be inspired to play?
With such a long career
behind him, Richard has
many favourite songs and
moments, but at the mo-
ment, he finds a special
pleasure in performing
You raise me up.
A long career doesnt mean Richard has
stoppedworkingonhis craft though.He says
rehearsing is somewhat of an addiction for
him.
Capetonians can see Richard perform at
the GrandWest Grand Arena on Thursday 9
October, supported by local instrumental
pop band, Sterling EQ.
Richard says he is looking forward to
South Africas people and nature.
If people today are as gentle and nice as
they used to be years ago, it will bemy pleas-
ure to be back in South Africa.
V Tickets for Richards show cost between R450 and
R750 and are available at Computicket.
Prince of Romance to stroke
the ivory in Cape Town
Richard Clayderman will be retur
ning to South Africa in October.
Following the success of last years Wo-
mens Day production, Cape Town City
Ballet has a performance of Threes Com-
pany on Saturday 9 August.
This year, the company invited two
other leading Cape Town-based dance
companies, Jazzart Dance Theatre and
theCapeDanceCompany, to join the cele-
brations.
In the spirit of cooperation and unity,
all the stars of dance in Cape Town will
be together for the first time and the pro-
gramme of three individual works will
showcase the talents of three young
South African choreographers. Jazzart
will perform Tracing Past 2 Future Tso-
ha by Moeketsi Koena, Of Gods and Men
by Kirsten Isenberg will be performed by
Cape Town City Ballet and Scenes by
Bradley Shelver by Cape Dance Compa-
ny.
Koena says throughhisworkhewishes
to entertain, inform and educate people
on self-appreciation. The dancers have
translated their personal stories into se-
veral vignettes reflecting how their past
engages with the present, and how their
interpretation of events affect the future.
Movements from street dance styles,
African contemporary, as well as self-
composed texts have influenced and cla-
rified the work. Tsoha (Awakening in
Sesotho) aims to convey the individual
journeys of a group of people, connected
in dance, at a pivotal stage of taking hold
of their dreams.
OfGods andMen recently premiered as
part of Cape Town City Ballets producti-
on, Ballet Beautiful. With music by Ar-
mand Amar and Philip Rombi, the work
draws from Greek mythology.
The critically acclaimed Scenes by
Bradley Shelver is amodern,minimalist,
architectural ballet in four parts written
to the compositions of Gallasso, Bach,
Beethoven and Riley. The work was in-
spired by the process of creativity, the
elements involved in displaying or mani-
festing art.
V Threes Company will be at the Artscape Opera
House on Saturday 9 August at 14:00. Tickets
from R125 R200 are available at Computicket
or Artscape DialaSeat on 021 421 7695.
