VERSTARDE, moedelose gesigte tussenrommel en lang gras ...
Geen elektrisiteit, badkamerdeure of skoontoilette vertel `n verhaal van ongekende ar-moede in Astonbaai se “wit plakkerskamp”waar vyf gesinne by die Astonbaai-karavaan-park “plak”. Onder die inwoners tel ’n be-jaarde visserman en jong kinders.Die gesinnne betaal hier R1 500 per maand
om te kan “plak” in huisies van plaat of tente– maar hul omstandighede word by die daghagliker.Hulle weier nou om ’n sent verder te betaal,
voor hul lewensomstandighede nie drastiesverbeter nie. Elektrisiteit is heel bo-aan hullys van noodsaaklikhede.
KoosLloyd enMoiraViljoen,wat onlangs hulintrek by die karavaanpark geneem het, staarnou uitsetting in die gesig na hulle namens dieinwoners teen die eienaar opgestaan het.“Tweewekena ons bynahardhandig uit die
karavaanpark verwyder is, word ons noukrimineel aangekla, omdat ons nie die huur-geld betaal nie: dit ten spyte daarvan dat nieeen van die ander inwoners hul huurgeld be-taal nie,” sê Viljoen.“Ons baklei nie nie vir onsself nie,maar vir
al diemense in die park, en onsmenswaardig-heid.”Volgens eienaar Robin Butler oortree Vil-
joen en Lloyd op sy eiendom. “Hulle het son-der enige vooraf reëlings opgedaag enhul tentopgeslaan,” sê Butler. “Toe ekmet hulle daar-oor praat, het hulle aggressief geraak en woumy aanrand. Dit is toe dat ek die saak aan diepolisie oorhandig het.“Hulle is soos mense wat op jou grasperk
komuitkamp het, en nouweier om pad te gee.Dié tweehet geen reg ombydie karavaanparkte wees nie. Hulle soek gratis verblyf en steldie ander inwoners wat ek probeer help, ingevaar. Ek het die kinders en hul ouers uitdie bosse en see gehaal en opgehef.”Die “wit plakkers”, so bestempel deur die
gemeenskap, het twee gemeenskaplike bad-kamers sonder enige elektrisiteit of gas virwarmwater. Hulle sukkel daagliks twee-tweeom hul eie gasbottels na die badkamers vir`n bietjie warm water te karwei – veral wan-
Dit gaanswaarmetdie ‘wit plakkers’neer die winterkoue nog byt. Gebreekte ven-sters, tientallle gate in die plafon, stortgor-dynewat aan flarde hang, en vervalle geriewemaak bad of stort ’n baie onaangename taak.Die mansbadkamer het nie ’n deur nie en
daar is net een toilet wat hulle kan gebruik.“Wat anders kan ons doen? Onsmóét was?’’
sê Viljoen.Asof dit nie erg genoeg is nie, is die paaie
in die karavaanpark vervalle en toegegroei enmoet hulle hul ‘tuiste’ met perde deel. “Onsis baie lief vir die perde, maar soms raak ditnet te veel -veral wanneer hul nuuskierigheidhulle tot binne die badkamers vat of hul ont-lastingdie terreinvol lê envlieë lok,” sêLloyd.Nóg ’n bron van kommer is ’n dam water
wat niemeer soos voorheen leeggepompwordnie, en nou die broeiplek van muskiete is.“Onsmag dalk armwees,maar ons is skoon
en het ons trots,” sê Moira. “Die eienaar vandie karavaanpark is besig om plakkers vanons te maak.”Volgens oud-visserman Johan Fourie (69),
wat al 12 jaar by die karavaanpark in ’n sink-huisiewoon, het hulle slegs inDesember kragwanneer al die vakansiegangers na die parkstroom, en die water word met tye afgesny.“Die park is baie netjies wanneer vakansie-
gangers hier is, maar die res van die jaar isdit ’n heel ander storie,” sê hy.“Die voortsukkel sonder krag is ons lot vir
die afgelope vier jaar, en die laaste paarmaan-de staan die gasbottels by die badkamers leeg.”Volgens Fourie, wat op die broodlyn lewe,
het inwoners eenparig besluit om hul maan-delikse huur te weerhou tot hulle weer per-manent krag het. “Ons almal is bereid om onshuurgeld te betaal as ons die nodige geriewehet. Die eienaar moet sy kant bring, dan salons ons kant bring,” sê hy.Volgens Butler het hy in Maart, vanjaar
R134 000 betaal om die elektrisiteit te laat aan-sit. “Die inwoners het daarna nog steeds niehul huurgeld betaal nie. Die elektrisiteitreke-ning beloop nou R30 000 en ek was genoodsaakop die krag weer eens te laat afskakel,” sê hy.“Siende hulle nie huur betaal nie, kan hulle
hul eie gemors skoonmaak.”Volgens Kouga-munisipaliteit woordvoer-
der, Laura-Leigh Randall, sal hul Omgewings-gesondheidsdepartement vandeesweek on-dersoek instel oor die toestande by die park.
Die mansbadkamer het nie ’n deurnie en daar is net een toilet wathulle kan gebruik.Die Astonbaaikaravaanpark is in ’n vervalle toestand.

AFRIFORUM in Jeffreys Bay and the KougaMunicipality have joined hands in the waragainst potholes in the area.
According to municipal spokesperson,Mfundo Sobele, this partnership will speed uproad repairs in Jeffreys Bay, espeicallyaround residential areas, in time for the holi-day season.
“The organisation will bring in human re-sources in terms of labour and some equip-ment, while the municipality will provide thematerial,” says Sobele.
“The municipality welcomes contributionsby any organisation in carrying forward thework of making Kouga the best place to livein. We have in the past worked with the StFrancis Bay Residents Association on roadrepairs.”
According to Dolf Botha, AfriForum Jef-
freys Bay chairman, the projects kicked off inSeetuin Road and they are currently busy fix-ing the potholes in Leadwood Street. Fromthere, they will move towards Oribi Streetand then Akasia Street.
“We rely heavily on donations from thepublic to carry the work forward,” saysBotha.

SHELL crafters from Jeffreys Bay are gearingup for a busy Festive Season. They have re-leased their first Christmas homeware anddecor collection, with the support of KougaMunicipality.
The Christmas Shell Collection consists ofwreathes, small Christmas trees and decora-tions, complemented by home decor items fitfor any occasion, from candleholders andbowels to placemats, tiebacks and servietteholders.
Gifts such as sandals, artfully decoratedwith shells, are also available.
All items are handmade by shell craftersfrom Jeffreys Bay and are on sale from theirstalls at the town’s main beachfront. Itemscan also be made to order.
The collection is the result of a 12-weektraining course hosted for local shell craftersby the municipality’s directorate for LocalEconomic Development, Tourism and Crea-tive Industries.
Kouga Executiuve Mayor Daphne Kettle-das said that shell craft was part of Kouga’sheritage but that interest in it has been dwin-dling, both among crafters and shoppers.
“This prompted the municipality to look atways to revive and promote shell craft,” shesaid. “Shell craft has been a source of incomefor many families, especially in Jeffreys Bay,and the skill has been passed on from genera-
tion to generation. We don’t want to lose sucha valuable piece of our heritage.”
The aim of the course was to help shell craft-ers design new products which would appealto the modern buyer. They were also takenthrough basic business guidelines on pricingand marketing their products effectively.
The course facilitator was Elaine Roos fromJeffreys Bay. She started with a group of 12crafters of whom six completed the course asa whole.
Among the participants were women whosenames are synonymous with the shell trade,including, Elsie Trompetter, a 66-year-oldgrandmother who depends on her shell in-come to help raise her four grandchildren.
Also in the groupwas Caroline Mintoor(56), whose mother,grandmother andgreat-grandmotherwere among the firstshell crafters of Jef-freys Bay. She hasfour sisters of whomthree also still make aliving from shells.
“My mother raisedus with shell money.She has become frailand it is now our turn
to look after her with the money we makefrom shells,” Caroline said.
While young blood is scarce in the craft, theparticipants included 22-year-old RochellePotgieter. She used to visit the beach with hergrandmother and fell in love with the diffe-rent shapes, sizes and colours of the shellsthey found there.
“The new designs we are working on havethe potential to attract young people to thecraft,” said 42-year-old Ann Titus, who alsocompleted the course. “Shell craft is no longerjust about making ornaments that gatherdust. The course has taught us to make itemsthat are both beautiful, functional and havemodern-day appeal.”
Sharon Rudolph, a 37-year-old mother ofthree, agrees that shell craft is evolving and thatyoung people can be inspired to participate.
“My 13-year-old daughter actually helpedme with some of these new designs,” shesaid.
She further believes that shell craft hasgreat therapeutic value, even if only practisedas a hobby.
“While you are putting together the shells,your mind is free to go wherever it wants to.It is a very relaxing pastime and unlocks one’screativity,” she said.
Dot Cappaert, a 71-year-old pensioner whorecently turned to shell craft to supplementher pension, completed the group.

JEFFREYSBAAI se toerisme-handelsmerkmoet gebou word tot waar die dorp as diemees gesogte toerismebestemming in diewêreld beskou word.
Dit is die oogmerk vir toerismebemar-king van die nuwe voorsitter van die Jef-freysbaai Toerismeraad, Deon Freemantle.Volgens hom moet Jeffreysbaai “skaamte-loos” fokus opwat uniek, interessant en diemoeite werd is om in die dorp te besoek.Eerste in die pyplyn is die aanbring van
muurkuns wat die Kouga-streek en al dieaktiwiteite binne Jeffreysbaai en omlig-gende gebiede ten toon gaan stel.“Daar is reeds samesprekings met die
Kouga Plaaslike Toerismeraad om ’n jaar-likse toerismefees in Jeffreysbaai aan tebied,” sê Freemantle. Die fees sal fokus opalles wat plaaslike is - van besighede tothandgemaakte produkte.Inwoners en besoekers kan ook uitsien
na verskeie opwindende aktiwiteite ge-
durende die komende Desember-vakansie.“Dit is my visie om die samewerking tus-
sen die toerismeraad en plaaslike be-sighede te bevorder, asook omdie beeld vanJeffreysbaai as ’n vakansie- en familiedorpte verstewig,” sê Freemantle.“Die Jeffreysbaai Toerismeraad, ’n nie-
winsgewende organisasie, is daar om diegemeenskap te dien en sodoende meer toe-riste na die dorp te lok.”Huidiglik, is daar ’n gemiddeld van 20 be-
soekers per dag by die plaaslike toerisme-kantoor gedurende die stil tye, en tussen 30en 40 telefoniese navrae.Virmeer besonderhede, skakel Freeman-
tle by 042 293 1696 of stuur ’n epos na [email protected].
Die Jeffreysbaai Toerismeraad vir 2015/ 2016is Jacqui Bursey (kantoorbestuurder), ElmarieThomas (nuusbrief), Lorens Sampson (skakelbeampte), Deon Freemantle (voorsitter), Estelle deBeer (bemarking) en Marissa Meyer (finansies).

THE prestigious Blue Flag went up again atKouga’s Dolphin Beach on Friday, giving thetourist spot another nod as part of the elitegroup of beaches.At the flag ceremony Kouga Executive
Mayor Daphne Kettledas thanked all stake-holders for the different roles they played inensuring the retention of the status.“It is our sincere hope that, going forward,
we will be able to work together even moreclosely to look after our beachfront as awhole. It is our greatest tourist attractionandkey in our efforts to growour local econo-my,” said Kettledas.DolphinBeach is oneof 24beaches inSouth
Africa to get the thumbs up for the 2015/16season, setting it apart as one of the few thatguarantee pristine waters for bathing, a safeenvironment for visitors andaccessible facil-ities for the disabled.Jakkie Pieters of the Association for the
Physically Disabled (APD) applauded Kougafor having one of themost accessible beachesin the country and local business for ever im-proving access for disabled communities.“JeffreysBay is alreadyaholidayand tour-
ist destination and it is up to us to keep thata reality for all communities. This does notalways require a lot of resources, but smallcollective contributions will bring us greatachievements,” he said.Social Services Portfolio Councillor Than-
deka Maseti said the Blue Flag status had al-so ensured creation of a number of jobs inensuring a safe environment around thebeach, with a beach coordinator, four by-lawenforcement officers and nine life-guards.“We, however, need to educate our commu-
nities and visitors about timeswhen it is safeto go out bathing in order to avoid drowningswhich happen, though rarely, after hours
when life guards have gone home,” Masetisaid.She also had a special word for the Depart-
ment of Environmental Affairs who hadfunded the employment of 41 EPWP workerson the Coast Care programme.Cape St Francis has also been awarded a
pilot status for the Blue Flag which, if it suc-ceeds, may see Kouga having two fullyfledged Blue Flag beaches by 2017.The Blue Flag season opened on 1 Novem-
ber this year and will run until April nextyear.

If a family member needs blood, the lastthing youwant to hear is that there is a crit-
ical blood shortage.
There is no factory that produces blood andyet people pay very little attention to the bigdifference they are able to make by donatingblood.
Theabove facts arewhatmotivated the fam-ily of formerMiss Port Elizabeth, Bianca-AnnHarper Agherdien who passed-away last No-vember after a tragic motor accident, to starta blood drive in honour of Bianca.
She received 39 units of blood following atragic car accident.
At the time of Bianca’s accident, SANBSimposed cut backs as a result of very lowblood stocks and her family is determined toassist SANBS this festive season in support
of other blood recipients and their families,to prevent another shortage.The Bianca-Anne Harper Agherdien Blood
Drive entails the following:A mobile blood drive at The Bridge from 1
to 16December (Game foyer);KlinicareUiten-hage blooddrive onDecember 11th from12:00-19:00; Walker Drive, Kenako Mall & TheBridge blood drives on December 16th; Klini-care Despatch blood drive on December 22ndfrom 11:00 to 18:00.“South Africa is saddled with a high acci-
dent rate, an increasing number of illegaldrivers on the roads and traffic law enforce-ment that needs to be more efficient,” saidDenzyl Harper, Bianca’s father.“Bianca loved people. We want to keep her
legacy alive and to give meaning to the blooddrive.“Our message to the people is, if you want
to see change, be it!”
It’s not just blood - it’s life ..

THE children of Talhado Children’s Haven in Sea Vistawere treated to a most unusual event on November 12when local dentist, Dr. Michael Jones, arrived withGrade 6 learners from St Francis College to talk to themabout dental health care.
The event was the brain child of the college’s Grade6 learners and their history teacher, Cathryn Hempel.“We are currently studying democracy, including chil-dren’s rights and their right to free health care, and withthis in mind, the class raised enough money to purchaseeach child at the Haven a toothbrush and a tube of tooth-paste. We’ve come here today to hand these to the chil-dren and to give them the opportunity to learn from DrJones on how to care for their teeth,” says Hempel.“In addition, the Rotary Satellite Club of St Francis
heard about the initiative and felt it wasworthy of supportwith a donation of R1 000 to boost the funds,” she says.The children sat engrossed while Dr. Jones demon-
strated how to properly clean teeth and use dental floss.He first spoke in Afrikaans, and the message was inter-preted by a Xhosa translater, Grade 00 XhosaMontessoriteacher, Loreka Coetser. Both groups of children sangschool songs for each other as well as the National an-them, but the highlight of the entertainment came whenyoung Josh Robson who only the day before had won the

NÁ maande se posdroogte in Kareedouw, ’ndorpie in die Oos-Kaapse Langkloof, lyk ditasof daar voortaan verspreide “posbuie” salvoorkom.
Hoewel dié “bui” net een keer per week indié deel van die Langkloof voorspel kan word,is dit steeds beter as die algehele posdroogte.
“Posdienste wat een keer ’n week gelewerword, is veel beter as géén dienste nie,” sêFrancois Strydom, ’n DA-raadslid.
Die dorp was die afgelope paar maande in’n poskrisis gedompel toe rekeninge en anderbelangrike posstukke nie betyds, óf soms gladnie, afgelewer is nie.
Posaflewerings is vroeër vanjaar reg oor dieland gekniehalter weens geldtekorte, maar dieSuid-Afrikaanse Poskantoor het dit ontken.
“Hier is prokureurs op die dorp wat oor-spronklike dokumente moet versend, en danten duurste maar met koerierdienste stuur,”verduidelik Strydom die gesukkel sonderposdienste.
Maar verlede week is daar glo nuwe lewein Kareedouw se posdienste geblaas toe af-gevaardigdes die dorp besoek en weeklikseposaflewering beloof het.
Presies watter dag die ‘posduif’ op die dorpsal neerdaal, moet nog aangekondig word,maar Strydom meen die weeklikse posafle-wering sal reeds volgende week in Karee-douw begin.
Maar Khulani Qoma, woordvoerder vandie Poskantoor, sê posaflewerings vir ’n dorpword deur ’n gebied se volume pos bepaal.
Qoma voeg by dat die posafleweringske-dule vir die Kareedouw-distrik mettertydwanneer daar sekerheid is, op prominenteplekke in dié dorpie aangebring sal word.

IN dieselfde week wat St. Francisbaai se ver-woestende brande van drie jaar gelede ont-hou word, is opleiding vir ’n geïntegreerderampplan in dié kusdorp deur rolspelers im-plementeer.
Verede week het rolspelers vanuit verskeieoorde van die Sarah Baartman-distriksmu-nisipaliteit vyf dae lank opleiding ontvangsodat enige moontlike toekomstige ramp as’n eenheid aangepak kan word.
“Beplanning vóór ’n ramp is meer effektiefas planne wat tydens ’n ramp rondgeslin-gerword,” sê Matt Marell van die Oos-Kaapse Oor-koepelende Brandbeskermingsvereniging(ECUFPA). Marell en die vereniging is die im-plementeringsagent wat die geïntegreerderamp-bevelstelsel (ICS) vir die Oos-Kaap dryf.
“Ons doen nie net voorbereiding vir wan-neer ’n brand uitbreek nie, soos die wat driejaar gelede hier meer as 70 huise langs diekanaal verwoes het. Dié soort kommunikasi-ebeplanning is ook belangrik vir enige andersoort ramp. Met ICS weet elke departementpresies wat om wanneer te doen, sonder omop mekaar se tone te trap,” sê Marell.
Die ICS-inisiatief help die betrokke depar-temente wat plaaslike regering, Departe-ment van Landbou, Bosbou en Visserye,Parke- en Toerismeraad, Transnet, Sanral enprivate boere insluit, om hul rol in ramptyete verstaan. Die rolspelers is as deel van dieopleiding verskeie situasies voorgelê waar-volgens hulle ’n effektiewe kommunikasiebe-stuursplan moes uitwerk.
Om die doel van dié kommunikasiebeplan-ning in perspektief te stel, is Ron Spadafora, hoofvan die Brandvoorkomingseenheid vir NewYork, VSA ingebring om sy ervaringe tydens die9/11-aanvalle en die orkaan Katrina te deel.
“Voor 9/11 het ons brandbestryders groot-liks op korttermynplanne gewerk, want ditwas ’n in-en-uit-werk.
“Maar met 9/11 was ons vir sewe maandebesig, en dit het baie vinnig duidelik geraakdat ons meer as net brandbestryders nodighet om die toneel op te ruim.
“Ná 9/11 het ons ICS-opleiding gekry. Van-dag help dit ons om ’n ramptoneel soos diévan orkaan Katrina vinnig onder beheer tebring en op te ruim. Omdat die ICS so effek-tief is, gebruik ons die protokol deesdae virgroot sportbyeenkomste,” sê Spadafora.
