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-
kieby nwoonstelbloknabydieCaltex-vulsta-
sie in Broadway gesien, waar dit verlate was.
Die polisie is in kennis gestel en het op die
bakkie beslag gel.

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

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.

Volgens die opsigter van die

veral moeilik vir leerlinge en on-
derwysers om hul werk behoorlik
te doen en om te konsentreer.

maar alles moontlik om die vlie
weg te hou in die hoop dat dit die

afdeling verwyder en ons hou die
skoolterrein ten alle tye skoon, s Vass.
Indieberigwat inverledeweekseuitgawe

Kaapstadsegesondheidsdepartementbeves-
tig dat dit moontlik is dat die onlangse war-
mer weer veroorsaak het dat die kanaal n
broeiplek vir vlie geword het. Hulle het ook
beloof om n vlie-insekweerder op die oe-
wers van die kanaal te spuit. Mr, volgens
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.
Die insekweerder sal egter in toestande
wat geskik is daarvoor aangewendword, s
James.

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.

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,

for utility services: This portable
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.

Art exhibitiononMovember
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

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.

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.
