Die lang arm van die gereg het twee jongvroue ingehaal nadat hulle verlede Vry-dag nbejaardeGordonsbaai-inwonerbe-roof het.

Die vroue het na bewering n Honda Tus-con, tweeskootrekenaars, nPlaystation-spe-letjie en n Samsung-selfoon gesteel.

Volgens die Gordonsbaai-polisie is die be-jaarde omstreeks 21:00 die aanddeur die jongvroue by n supermark in Strand genader toehulle aan sy motorvenster geklop het en virkos en blyplek gevra het.

Die man (74) het hulle na sy huis in Gor-donsbaai geneem. Nadat hulle n ruk lank

saam gekuier het, het hy aan die slaap ge-raak. Hy is egter later deur die sekuriteits-maatskappy gebel n sy alarm afgegaan hettoe die motorhuisdeur na bewering oopge-maak is.

Hy het ontdek dat sy voertuig weg was.By nadere ondersoek het hy ook gevind sytwee jong gaste is nie meer in die huis nieensyskootrekenaars,TV-speletjie enselfoonis ook weg.

Die man het onmiddellik die diefstal by dieGordonsbaai-polisie aangemeld wat dit omhul beurt na ander polisiestasies uitgesaaihet.

Sowat 30 minute later het die Somerset-Wes polisie die silwerkleurige 4X4 in Somer-set-Wes opgemerk.

Albei vroue is egter aangekeer en in hegte-nis geneem.

Die gesteelde goedere was egter nie in hulbesit nie omdat hulle dit na bewering by nkroeg in Somerset-Wes aan n Nigeriese manverkoop het. Polisie het die goedere later inGarden Village opgespoor.

Macassarmyn nouwettig ten spyte van teenkantingDALEEN FOUCH

Die Macassar-grondeisekomitee is stomge-slaan oor die besluit deur die Stad Kaapstadom die aansoek van n plaaslike sandmyn omdie grondgebruik te verander, goed te keur.

Die Stad Kaapstad het op 14 April die aan-soek van Maccsand om n tydelike afwykingvan die huidige grondgebruik, goedgekeur.Die grond is gesoneer vir landbou, maar dietydelike afwyking laat Maccsand toe om virdievolgendevyf jaarvoorttegaanmetsymyn-aktiwiteite.

Die besluit is geneem n paar dae voordatdie grondeise-hof Maccsand beveel het om opte hou met hulle mynaktiwiteite omdat diegrond nie gesoneer is vir mynaktiwiteite nie.

Die hofuitspraak is op 24 April gelewer.Ganief Darries, bestuurder van Maccsand

in Macassar, s n die uitspraak het die myngesluit omdat hulle eers die volgende dag, 25

April, verwittig isdathulaansoektot tydelikeafwyking van grondgebruik, goedgekeur is.

Vir die eerste keer sedert mynaktiwiteitein 2001 in Macassar begin het, het Maccsanddie regte grondgebruik vir di aktiwiteite.

Maccsandis in n jarelangehofstrydmetdieMacassar-grondeisekomitee gewikkel oor dieonwettige mynaktiwiteite (lees meer opwww.distrikspos.com). Carl Wilters, voorsit-tervandieMacassar-grondeisekomiteesdiemiddel-Sandvlei gemeenskap is sedert die be-gin van die mynaktiwiteite gekant daarteen,omdat daar teenaan die woongebied gemynword en daar n uitstaande grondeis vir diegrond, wat voorheen bekend was as die com-mons is.Wilters sdaar ismeeras 600begun-stigdesbydieMacassar-grondeisekomiteebe-trokke. Maar Darries meen die myn is n aan-wins vir die gemeenskap omdat hulle tanspermanente werk skep vir 30 mense, en nog30 mense op tydelike basis werk voorsien.

Nabeweya Malick, spokespersonfor the Muslim Judicial Council,has said that the newmosque set tobebuilt inGordonsBaywillcomplyto the noise regulations set by theCity of Cape Town.

This follows the continued contesta-tions from certain members of the Gor-dons Bay community about the newdevelopment. The majority of the con-cerns voiced are about the loud prayercalls that will be heard from themosque each day.

Malick said that like all religiousstructures, there are certain noise reg-ulationsthatapplytomosquesandthatthe imam (spiritual leader) will bevery considerate of these. She empha-sised that noise levels will be kept aslow as possible, so as to not disturbresidents in Gordons Bay.

Mosques make five calls to prayereach day: at true dawn or morning twi-light, at 13:00 (or after the sun passesits highest point), around mid-after-noon, just after sunset and lastly half-way between sunset and sunrise.

These prayer calls are usually ampli-fied so the Muslim community knowsit is time for them to pray.

Malick said the imam will set the vol-ume of the speaker system to its abso-lute minimum for the sunrise prayercall and the volume will be set to nor-mal during the day, which is seven dec-ibels, as per regulation.

DIVING FOR DIRT: A group of commercial divers from Jacks DiveChest in Strand recently rolled up their sleeves to get down and dirtywhile cleaning up the Gordons Bay marina and Bikini Beach water-ways. These two divers doing their bit for the community are ZayneKruger and Rufus Oosthuysen.

The satisfaction that comes with seeingan original piece of jewellery come tolife when worn by a woman, justifieshaving to sit facedownwithanoptivisorabout 20 cm away from a piece of jewel-leryforhoursonendduringthecreationprocess.

This is the sentiment of Somerset WestresidentDavidMcMaster (48),whohasbeenhead jeweller at Miglio for the past sevenyears.Davidwasborn inJohannesburgandwas

raisedbetween theCityofGoldandDurban.He completed his primary-school career atvarious schools inDurbanand latermatric-ulated from Jeppe High School in 1983.AfterschoolDavidformedpartoftheMed-

ics Band in the former SA Defence Force,playing the bagpipes for two years a skillhe learnt as a Grade 8 learner at Jeppe.He says he recalls feeling like he was

pushed into a certain direction as a scholarand that it wasnt until he discovered hisindividuality thathe realisedhis forte is thefine arts.So in 1986 David started his first job in

illustratingasa juniorartist foranadvertis-

ing company in Johannesburg.Between 1987 and 1988 he also qualified

as a Latin and ballroom dancer throughArthur Murray Studios.In 1990 he finally got into the art of fine

jewellery and worked for a company calledEl Pato Jewellers, where he did the casting,preparationand sculptingof original piecesfor six years.In 1996 the same year het met his wife,

Lyzette Davidtookaleapoffaithandstart-ed his own business focused on sculptingoriginals for the curio industry calledHands On Art, which is still operational to-day.A few years along the line, David and his

family relocated to Cape Town for personalreasons.He thenworkedat apewter castingcompany for a couple of years until the op-portunity toworkatMiglio inGantsCentre,Strand, came about.By then, David had discovered just how

much he loved sculpting in cement and hadalready done quite an extensive amount ofwork,suchas life-sizerenditionsof theHim-ba people for Namibia Country Lodges. Inhis spare time and on commission basis,David creates sculptures in sizes rangingfrom microscopic to life-size and a varietyof medium genres such as resin, plaster, ce-

ment, gold, silver and bronze. The avidsculptor and jeweller has also refined atechnique whereby cement sculptures canbe made to look like they are made of castiron. However this multi-talented artiststalents do not stop there.Hehasalsodiscoveredhisnatural ability

to create masterpiece oil paintings andbuild motorcycles and cars. David onlystarted painting when he moved to CapeTown and literally just picked up a paintbrush one day and started painting.When asked where the skill came from,

David shrugs and replies who knows.To complete an oil painting takes the ver-

satile artist about 90 minutes and whatmakesthesemasterpiecesuniqueisthespe-cial technique,wherebyDavidusesaspatu-la to manipulate the oil as to how he wantsit, that comes through in the painting.Davidhasalsobeenbuildingcustommil-

Loudmotorcyclists are ruffians

I refer to the article about motor-cycles (DistrictMail 17 April).The amount of noise that they

make on the streets like OldStellenbosch Road and HelenaAvenue is a real pest.A lot of motorcyclists use these

roads as race courses without

silencers.By law motorcyclists are not

allowed to ride without sound ab-sorption.When these blockheads drive

on the streets the dogs start bark-ing like hell, the babies wake upandoldpeopleare scared todeath.

It would be easy for the policeto confiscate the motorbikes ortheir licenses and they should.Sorry but this is the only

language to be used for theseruffians.

GBresident: Iwill keep fightingmosqueonmyvoorstoep

I stronglyobject to thebiasedman-ner in which the DistrictMail, 24April, commentedon theproposedmosque in Gordons Bay.Words used such as tolerance

and diversity subtly suggestthat resistance against the pro-posedmosqueis intolerantandnotin this spirit. This was uncalledfor.There are more concerns than

the noise issue. All our concernsas a community need to be ad-dressedandnotbebrushedoff.Nottaking our concerns seriouslywillonly fuel animosity and intoler-ance. The future impact such aspropertyvaluesandwhetherabig-ger Muslim community mightwarrant another mosque must beconsidered. I also want to knowwhat the Muslim communitysbusiness interests are are they,for instance, part of Gordons BayBusiness Forum and GB Neigh-bourhood watch?

Using the laws to do things iseasy; sacrifice for all and not justyour own ismuchharder. Forcinga mosque onto a community thatis against it is not in the spirit oftolerance. Most of the time an in-stitution or community is forcedto relinquish its rights and con-cerns to a minority (e.g. schooldress code in Pillay case) becauseof laws. And always the questionabout why and in what spirit thisdemand for rights was initiated.Will reasonable requests for keep-ing the character of our communi-ty be disregarded with the usualretorts of rights, tolerance and di-versity? Consider now our largeChristian community with a verysmallMuslimcommunitywiththelaw on their side. The question isthen not of tolerance or religiousfreedom but that of considerationand respect.Going ahead with the mosque

despite large resistance from the

community will be seen as an actof disrespect to the people thathave a vested community andbusiness interests in GordonsBay. Unfortunately, seeing amosquewith it turrets inmy townwill conjure up many emotionsthatwont be pleasant andwill notbe conducive to tolerance and har-mony.On the contrary and simplystated: I dont want a mosque onmy voorstoep and will continue tofight it.

Onthou, jy kan die korting netin die begin kry.

Met verpligte premiegroei be-taal jy by aanvang heelwat min-der, maar jy word jaarliks verpligom die premie te verhoog, sonderdat die dekking toeneem.

Hier gaan jy ge-woonlik na 6 7 jaardieselfde betaal asmet n gelykblywen-de premie. Dus salhierdie premiepa-troon net geskikwees vir kortter-mynskuld-dekking,of as jou finansiesnie toelaat dat jy dieduurder premie kanbetaal nie.

Ouderdomsgeba-seerde tarief is pre-sies wat die woords. Hoe jonger, hoegoedkoper.

Let opdat dit rond-om ouderdom 45 55 baie duurword, en dit sal die gelykblywendepremie gou verbysteek.

My raad is om altyd n gelykbly-wende premie te probeer uitneem.

Nou sal jy jouself afvra hoekomkan jy nie die goedkoper premie

nou uitneem, en wanneer dit teduur word, net na die gelykbly-wende premie oorskakel nie?

Wel, die risiko wat jy neem, isdat jy dalk intussen n siektetoe-standkanontwikkel of opdoenwatjou onversekerbaar maak.

En onthou, jy verjaar elke jaarendus sal jouaanvangspremieookelke jaar styg.

Wees versigtig vir lewensverse-keraars wat jou goedkoper pre-mies aanbied, en boonop nog ver-der afslag gee omdat jy ander pro-dukte soos n kredietkaart,mediesefonds en so meer by hullehet.

Hulle s gewoonlik nie vir joudat as jy nie n sekere bedrag permaand op die kredietkaart besteenie, of jou mediesefonds-eise is ho-er as n sekere bedrag, sal jou pre-mie bykomend styg en dat jou pre-mieboonop elke jaarmet n gedeel-te van inflasie styg, sonder dat joudekking toeneem.

Pasop hiervoor.Hou dit so eenvoudig moontlik,

sonder te veel veranderlikes.Vergelyk jou lewensverseke-

ringspremie elke 3 4 jaar met npaar ander maatskappye solank jygesond is en probeer spaar.

Daar is n paar slaggate omvooruit te kyk wanneer jy lewens-dekking uitneem.

Appels word gewoonlik nie metappels vergelyk nie. Dit is nie al-tydmoontlikomslegspremiesmetmekaar te vergelyknie. Wees versigtig virdie tipe premiepa-troon.

Daar is drie soorte,naamlik gelykbly-wend-, verpligte en ou-derdomsgebaseerdetarief. Moenie die pre-mieverhogingsverwarmet inflasiegekoppel-de stygings nie, waarjy by aanvang versoekdatdie lewensdekking-bedrag elke jaar metdie inflasiekoers styg.

Onthou, hierdie ver-soek kan gekanselleerword, indien nodig,maar as jy n verkeerde premie-patroon kies, is jy vas.

Gelykblywend beteken jy sal el-ke jaar dieselfde premie betaal virdieselfde dekking. Hierdie premieis gewoonlik gewaarborg vir tus-sen 10 en 20 jaar, na gelang van dieversekeraar.

Vra jou makelaar om jou n biet-jie afslag op kommissie te gee, enjy sal verbaas wees met hoeveeljou maandelikse premie vermin-der.

TEN YEARS IN BUSINESS: WastePlan, a Cape Town basedrefuse removal company, celebrated their tenth anniversarywith clients, friends, and business associates at the Nantes Es-tate in Paarl on 25 April. Raymond Ackerman (right) was theguest speaker. For the past 11 years Ackerman has been thebusiness mentor for Bertie Lourens (left) Managing Director ofWastePlan Holdings.

Newpolicy guides parkingThe City of Cape Towns Councilapproved a parking policy thatwill guide the provision, man-agement, regulation, enforce-ment and pricing of parking inCape Town last week.

This policy is derived from ex-isting legislation and the Citys2024 vision policy frameworkand includes the principles, di-rectives and actions to addressparking in the city.

Transport and spatial trendsnecessitated the development ofa parking policy as the high de-mand, availability and manage-ment of parking have become in-creasingly complex and, attimes, contentious issues for res-idents, commuters, visitors andbusinesses, said the Citys May-oral Committee Member: Trans-port for Cape Town, CouncillorBrett Herron.

Some of the problems experi-enced with on-street parking in-clude time limits being ignored,non-payment of parking fees andthe high demand resulting in aspill-over into areas adjacent tomanaged parking areas.

According to the policy, park-ing supply and demand must bemanagedintermsof location,du-ration and allocation.

For example, in areas with ahigh demand for short-termparking (less than two hours),the City will introduce managed

parking to achieve a parkingbayoccupancyof 85%with the intentof leaving 15% of bays availablefor new users. Also, long-stay us-ers who park for longer than twohours should be encouraged topark on the fringe of the urbannodes and central business dis-trict (CBD) areas, or use alterna-tive modes of transport.

Performance-based pricing,where the tariffs in an area arebased on the actual demand, willbe implemented.

The City will also investigatethe introduction of Europay,MasterCard and Visa (EMV)compliant smart cards to makepayment for parking easier.

Moreover, the policy setsguidelines for public off-streetparking, managed parking,Park-and-Ride facilities andparking for bicycles and motor-cycles.

The provision of bicycle racksat bus stations and rail stationsshould be implemented and thepossibility of lockable bicyclestorage facilities should be in-vestigated.

The policy will be implement-ed in phases, short term (one totwo years), medium term (threeto five years) and long term (fiveto 15 years).

The estimated cost to imple-ment the first phase of the park-ing policy is R15 million.
