K
eelvol oor die haglike en onveilige om-
standighede by die Brackenfell-stasie,
wat oor die jare heen onveranderd ge-
bly het terwyl eiendomswaardes in die ge-
bied daal, het n inwoner die plaaslike rege-
ring trompop geloop.
In n brief gerig aan die burgemeester van
Kaapstad, die premier van die Wes-Kaap en
almal tussen-in n brief wat ook een van
Pieter le Roux (69) se laastes sou wees het
hy, sonder om doekies om te draai, die Stad
Kaapstad beskuldig van wanadministrasie.
Le Roux, n aktiewe gemeenskapslid van
Brackenfell, is verlede Dinsdagaand oorlede
n n hartaanval.
Le Roux was oor die jare heen aktief be-
trokke by verskeie burgerlike aksies om die
stasie te beveilig en skoon te maak.
Ek rig hierdie skrywe aan u almal, want
u is almal skuldig aan wanadministrasie,
weiering om wet en orde daar toe te pas en
om verordeninge af te dwing, skryf hy.
Hy verwys spesifiek na die Stad se onver-
mo om aksie te neem teen Transnet raken-
de die stasieterrein.
In sy brief beskryf hy die toestand van die
stasie as skandelik in n era van demokrasie
en dit in n provinsiewat staatsbestuur hoog
aanskryf.
Die stasie lyk soos n bankrotspul. n
Vark sal sies s! Dis morsig. Op die geboue
is obsene graffiti en bendetekens waaraan
ons kinders en ander voetgangers elke dag
blootgestel is.
Hy verwys na verskeie verordeninge wat
eiendomseienaars beboet en ook verplig om
graffiti te verwyder en om persele skoon en
higinies te hou.
Ek sien Transnet is verhewe bo verorde-
ninge terwyl ons as inwoners sagte teikens
is, skryf hy.
Le Roux was van mening dat daar vandag
heelwat minder probleme sou gewees het as
die Stad gereeld sy verordeninge afgedwing
het.
Transnet doen net wat hulle wil en word
nie verantwoordbaar gehou nie. En die Stad
skuif net die blaamopTransnet. Dis hoekom
die stasie lyk soos dit lyk, het hy kort voor
sydood in n onderhoudaanTygerBurger ge-
s.
Hy voeg by dat die omheining van die sta-
sie ook nie voldoen aan die standaard nie,
en dat die Stad in di geval ook versuim om
verordeninge toe te pas.
AanKruispad se kant bestaan die geroes-
te omheiningdraad feitlik nie, dit is flenters
en papgesit van die werksoekers. n Flen-
terhekhangbyeen ingangengrasgroei deur
die stukkende draad.
AanWilliamdabsweg se kant is drade nie
net geroes nie, maar het dit ook gate in en
die hekke staan flentergat oop enmense loop
oor die spoorlyn.
Die drade tussen die perron en goedere-
loods is ook geroes, stukkend en die hekke
staan ook oop, skryf hy.
LeRouxwasveral bekommerdoordie goe-
dereloodswat al jare leegstaanensedert 2011
n slaapplek geword het vir haweloses, on-
wettige immigrante en dwelmhandelaars.
Ons as belastingbetalers het al (tever-
geefs) verskeie versoeke gerig om die goede-
reloods te huur en dan aan tewend vir enter-
peneurs om daar sake te doen, het hy byge-
voeg.

P
ieter le Roux het een groot wens vir
Brackenfell gehad: Dat alles veilig
moet wees die dag as ek nie meer daar
is nie.
Die welbekende woorde van hom, het ge-
stalte gegee aan Pieter se lewe, veral in sy
laaste jare waartydens hy onverpoosd aan-
hou baklei het vir veiligheid, reg en gereg-
tigheid.
Pieter is verlede Dinsdagaand op die ou-
derdom van 69 by sy huis in Proteahoogte
oorlede n n hartaanval.
Met sy kierie en kortbroek was hy n be-
kende gesigwanneer hy die strate van sy ge-
liefde woonbuurt onverskrokke patrolleer
het.
En di wat hom ken, sal weet dat hy vir
niks en niemand teruggestaan het nie. Selfs
as afgetredenehet hyhomdaarop toegespits
om die owerhede en veral politici verant-
woordbaar te hou, vir soos hy dit genoem
het hulle le bekbeloftes.
Pieter is oorspronklik van Robertson
waar sy familie vandag nog boer.
As n jong man was hy vir twee jaar n
huursoldaat in die Kongo, waarna hy vir
twee jaar by die Suid-AfrikaaanseWeermag
se spesiale magte aangesluit het.
As n bekwame eiendomswaardeerder en
dorpsbeplanner het hy homself in die jare
tagtig in Brackenfell kom vestig, waarna hy
aktief betrokke was by plaaslike politiek.
Tydens die oorgangsjare het hy die plaas-
like townships verteenwoordig op dieKaap-
se Metropolitaanse Oorgangsraad en het hy
ook op verskeie polisieforums gedien.
Ekhet hom leer kenmet die eerste demo-
kratiese verkiesings toe ons albei as raads-
lede vir Oostenberg gestaan het, vertelMa-
rian Nieuwoudt, wyksraadslid.
Volgens haar het hy tydens hul tydperk
as raadslede van Oostenberg waardevolle
bydraes gelewer ten opsigte van die beleid
en beplanning van infrastruktuur vir die
Kraaifontein-, Wallacedene- en Bloekom-
bos-gebiede.
Sy kennis van behuising en die eien-
domsmark is ook welbekend.
As waardeerder was hy oor die hele land
baie betrokke by munisipale waardasies,
s sy.
Ek sal Pieter veral onthou as n persoon
wat homself altyd aan die kant van die on-
derdrukte en verontregte geskaar het. En
hy het nooit gehuiwer om persoonlik be-
trokke te raak nie, s sy.
Vanaf 2000 het hy vir baie jare op dieWes-
KaapseHuurbehuisingstribunaal gedien en
was hy ook nou betrokke met die skrywe
van die regulasies oor onregverdige prakty-
ke in huurverband.
N sy aftrede het hy meerendeels gefokus
om Brackenfell, veral Proteahoogte en die
gebied om die stasie, te beveilig en skoon te
maak.
In hierdie verband onthou Nieuwoudt sy
vele briewe.
Maak nie saak watse sterk taal hy in sy
skrywes of gesprekke gebruik het nie, dit is
altyd afgesluit met: Alles moet veilig wees
as ek nie meer daar is, s sy.
n Inwoner, Andr le Roux, wat hom net
vir n paar jaar geken het, s gemeenskaps-
veiligheid was sy nommer 1-prioriteit.
Oom Pieter was daarom nie baie gewild
by die polisie of owerhede nie, want hy sou
nooit stilgebly het as hy opgemerk het dat
hulle nie hul werk behoorlik doen nie, s
hy.
Hy het al die landswette baie goed geken
en het nooit geskroom om die leviete voor
te lees nie, selfs nie vir die owerhede nie.
Hy het nooit sy mond vir iemand gehou
nie en tot die laaste sy s ges. Hy het nie
net opgestaan vir sy eie regte nie, maar vir
ons almal in Brackenfell.
Volgens Le Roux was Pieter in sy hoeda-
nigheidas n landsburger aktief betrokkeby
verskeie plaaslike projekte.
Dis sluit in die herontwikkeling van die
historiese Everite-hostelle, waar verskeie
gesinne van die ou asbesfabriek tot vandag
toe nog woonagtig is.
Hy het al die families daar goed geken
en het baie seker gemaak dat ontwikkelaars
di armgesinnenie uitbuit nie, sLeRoux.
Hy was ook betrokke by die opknapping
van die ou Voortrekkersaal en het altyd by-
gestaanmet nmagdom inligting oor watter
roetes gevolg moet word wanneer munisi-
pale sake aangespreek word. Hy het nooit
geskroom om enigiemand te help nie en het
gereeld sy hulp aangebied. En as hy n kwes-
sie aanvat, het hy dit nooit laat gaan nie. Ek
gaan hom baie mis.
Nieuwoudt het haar innige meegevoel
met Pieter se familie uitgespreek.
As ons almal die les byPieter leer omons
gesinne te beskerm, sal ons n wonderlike
gemeenskap wees. Sy dood is n groot ver-
lies vir Brackenfell en ek sal gewis ons
kampvegter, Pieter le Roux, mis.
Le Roux laat sy vrou, twee kinders, twee
kleinkinders en n agterkleinkind agter. Hy
word vandag (Woensdag) om 11:00 vanuit
die NG Kerk Proteahoogte begrawe.

VERVOLG VAN BLADSY 1
Ook die voetoorgangbrug hou gevare in
vir gebruikers.
Ditword gebruik vir handelaarsom
daarop te slaap en dien as toilet enmoet
deur Gesondheid skoongemaak word
teen belastingbetalers se rekening, s
hy.
Voetgangers en kinderswat die brug
gebruik, word aangeval en beroof en
jong skoolmeisies word betas en walgli-
ke voorstelle word aan hulle gemaak
terwyl daar geen beskermingsdienste is
nie. Groot, oop vure word gemaak en
vuil wasgoed hang oral oor die bome.
TygerBurger rapporteer sedert 2011
oor die rooftogte en aanvalle wat ge-
reeld hier plaasvind.
LeRouxvoegbydat die perseel so vuil
enmorsig is dat die departement van ge-
sondheid al rottegif moes uitsit om te
verhoed dat die rottepes na die omlig-
gende ondernemings en huise versprei.
Volgens hom weier die polisie om
dwelmhandelaars, bendelede of prosti-
tute daar te verwyder, omdat dit in die
jurisdikise van die Stad se wetstoepas-
singseenheid val; di s weer hulle kan
hulle nie in hegtenis neemof beboet nie,
omdat hulle nie n vaste adres het nie.
Die polisie voerweer aandat hulle net
kan optree wanneer n misdaad gepleeg
word.
In reaksie op Le Roux se brief, s Pri-
ya Reddy, woordvoerder van die Stad
Kaapstad, dat die Stad verskeie klagtes
van Le Roux ontvang het en aandag
daaraan gegee het.
Die Stad se wetstoepassingseenheid
patrolleer die area daagliks en daar
word spesifieke aandag aan die stasie
gegee. Haweloses word gereeld verwy-
der en skoonmaakoperasies vind ge-
reeld plaas, s sy.
Sy voeg by dat die onwettige hande-
laars al in die verlede beboet is, maar
dan oorbeweeg na die stasieperron wat
Transnet-eiendom is.
Die Stad het ook al verskeie kere die
probleem rondomdie rommel by Trans-
net geopper. Dit is hulle verantwoorde-
likheid.
Volgens Reddy kon wetstoepassers
geen bewyse vind dat oop vure op die
stasie gemaak word nie.
Wat die kriminele aspekte by die sta-
sie betref, moet dit deur die polisie be-
hartig word
Sy het ook bygevoeg dat die Stad op
30Mei drie dae nadatTygerBurgerme-
dianavraag gedoen het oor die klagtes
in Le Roux se brief n tweede en finale
kennisgewing aan die bestuur van die
Brackenfell-stasie uitgereik het om die
perseel skoon te maak.
Sou hulle versuim om op te tree bin-
ne sewe dae, sal die Stad n kontrakteur
aanstel om skoon te maak op die koste
van Transnet.
n Betroubare TygerBurger-bron be-
twis egter die Stad se aanspraak dat ha-
weloses gereeld verwyder word en
skoonmaakoperasies gereeld plaas-
vind.
Die enigste skoonmaakoperasies
waarvanekbewus is, is diwat self deur
inwoners onderneem is, s die bron,
wat self naby die stasie woon.
Ons mans het elke paar weke met n
paar bakkies die stasie gaan skoon-
maak.
Daar was vanoggend nog sakke rom-
mel oral op die stasie. Dis baie vuil
daar, het hy Maandag aan TygerBur-
ger ges.
Teen Maandagmiddag het TygerBur-
ger die stasie in n bemorste toestand ge-
vind, en teen druktyd kon die Stad
Kaapstad nog nie bevestig of die boge-
noemde aksie teen 7 Junie teen Trans-
net geneem was nie.
In sy laaste sinne aan die owerhede,
s Le Roux dat die Brackenfell-gemeen-
skap tot protesaksie sal oorgaan tensy
dinge nie spoedig verbeter nie.
Ons stempotloodjies is besig om
stomp te word. Ja, premiertjie, burge-
meester, en DA-leiers, neuk maar aan,
maar die oordeelsdag is naby.
Op 3 Augustus word ons ou kruis-
trekkers weer deur die DA oorrompel
met oproepe en SMSe om te stem, lui
sy brief.
Selfs die bome is bestrooi met ou klere en rommel.

illiam Abrahams (60) moes in die
donker teen die steil grasbank aan
die rand van Eversdalstraat gegly
het om na sy dood te val.
Sy liggaam is omstreeks 12:00 verlede
Dinsdag in die vlak water van n diep storm-
watersloot in die veld aan die oorkant die
Glengarry-winkelsentrum in Vredekloof ge-
vind.
n Vriend van Abrahams het sy liggaam
gevind, n daar sedert die vorige Vrydag-
aand na hom gesoek is.
Hy is omstreeks 18:00 se kant vort Glen-
garry-winkelsentrum toe om n pakkie siga-
rette en n doppie te koop, maar het nooit
weer by die huis opgedaag nie, vertel nog
n familievriend en buurvrou.
Abrahams het saam met sy vrou in Stel-
lenryk gewoon, waar sy n huiswerker is.
Hy het die voetpaadjie deur die R300-pad-
reserwe glo gereeld gestap.
Nadat n polisie-duikspan sy liggaam uit
die water gehaal het, het die mediese onder-
soekbeampte ondersoek ingestel, maar kon
geen uiterlike tekens van geweldpleging
vind nie. Volgens die Durbanville-polisie
word daar geen vuilspel in hierdie stadium
vermoed nie.

CLEARANCE CENTRE
Jip de Jager Drive in Bellville is due to be
resurfaced, and with the project commenc-
ing next week, motorists should expect some
delays due to the closure of lanes.
The resurfacing, set to cost approximately
R4 million, should be completed by Tuesday
5 July if all goes as planned.
Roads have a limited lifespan. Given the
huge investment that is required for building
new infrastructure, we undertake regular
maintenance to prolong the longevity of the
citys road network. As such, the roadworks
along Jip de Jager Drive involve the mainte-
nance of the existing road base, resurfacing,
and ancillary works to prevent further dete-
rioration and potholes, says the Citys May-
co member for transport, Brett Herron.
Some lanes in Jip de Jager Drive will be
closed to traffic for the duration of the road-
works. However, one lane in each direction
will remain open at all times.
The closure of the lanes will enable us to
expedite the roadworks so that motorists are
inconvenienced for a shorter time. Even
though the progress depends as much on the
weather as on other unforeseen circumstan-
ces, we are confident that the works will be
completedwithin threeweeks, saysHerron.
We request road users to pleasemake pro-
vision for longer travelling times during the
next threeweeks and to be patient.Once com-
pleted, we will all benefit from the new
smoother road surface and improved driving
conditions, says Herron.
V Road users are advised to contact the Transport
Information Centre for more information on
0800 65 64 63 or to follow @Transport4CT on
Twitter.

D
ie wreld is een enorme soetpatat ry-
ker nadat die 8-jarige Andr Pieters
van die Laerskool Parow-Wes n
monster van 11,59 kg gekweek het.
As nmens dit in lewende lywe bestudeer,
voel dit kompleet of die soetpatat jou terug
bestudeer!
Dit is ongelukkig nie die moeder van alle
soetpatatte nie, wat volgens Guinness 37 kg
weeg.
Andr se patat sal aan die anderkant ten
minste n tannie van alle soetpatattewees
as n mens dit vergelyk met ander nuus-
waardige patatte. Verskeie koerante in En-
gelandhet juis in 2008 ngroot ophef gemaak
van n Lebanese man wat n 11,3 kg-soetpa-
tat gekweek het.
Ek plant dit en my pa grawe dit uit, s
Andr trots.
Die reus is op die Pieters-plaas in Stan-
ford geplant, waar Andr sr. dit so ampers
met n voorgraaf uit die grond moes haal.
Volgens Andr jr. is die geheim om twee
keer n dag water oor die groente te gooi,
asook n bietjie strooi.
Die Pieters het ook goeie kompos gebruik
om die grond voor te berei om geboorte te
gee aan di reuse-patat.
Daar is op daardie dag n paar grotes uit-
gehaal, wat moontlik kan beteken dat de
knol miskien deel was van n gewas wat re-
kords sou slaan.
Omdat die soetpatat egter verwyder was
van die res van die plant, is dit nou sinloos
om Guinness te kontak.
Daar was juis geen terugvoering van
Guinness af teen druktyd nie nadatTyger-
Burger vir hulle n navraag per e-pos ge-
stuur het.
Die storie van Andr se soetpatat sal nie-
temin nog jare onthou word in die gesin.
My pa was besig om brandpaaie op die
plaas temaak toe hy die soetpatat uitgehaal
het. Hy het dadelik gebel en ges ons sal nie
glo wat hy nou hier uitgehaal het nie! Kyk
hierdie massiewe ding!, het hy ges, lag
Andr.
Andr sr. het dadelik na n winkelsen-
trum in Gansbaai gegaan om die soetpatat
te weeg.
Sy seun voeg by dat dit van dag een sy
droom was om hierdie soetpatat se foto in
die TygerBurger te plaas.
Noudat hy dit gedoen het, kan hy maar
begin eet daaraan. Miskien plaas Tyger-
Burgerweer n berig oor n jaar om te sAn-
dr het dit uiteindelik opgeet.
Hy sluit af om te s dat hy nie een keer
Red Bull oor die yslike ding gegooi het nie.

@dezzierorke
I
t seems that very little or no special pro-
visions are in place to assist deaf people
whenwriting their driving learners test
at the Brackenfell Driving Licence Testing
Centre (DLTC).
This is the opinion of a frustrated Brack-
enfell father whose deaf son has failed this
test twice in three months.
The City of Cape Town denies this allega-
tion, saying that special provisions are
available for deaf people taking the test.
The learner in question visited the centre
in January and March and twice the same
thing happened.
The traffic officer did not understand
my deaf son andmy deaf son did not under-
stand him as he was speaking too fast for
my son to read his lips. My son tried to ask
him to speak slower but the officer seemed
to ignore him and continued speaking very
fast. He seemed very impatient, says the
father, who wishes to remain anonymous.
After realising that it was futile to try
and communicate, my son just kept quiet
and decided to take the test, not being sure
of many administrative aspects. When he
forgot to circle his answers the officer did
not seem very helpful and again very impa-
tiently took the test paper from him and
told him he had failed.
The question on the lips of this father is
simple yet reasonable.
Why cant more patience and care be
shown to deaf people who take this test?
Mayco member for safety and security,
JP Smith, says this is the first time that a
complaint like this had been received.
This is not the first time that the centre
has dealt with applicants who have a hear-
ing disability (deaf applicants). In the case
of a deaf applicant and where the applicant
has informed the examiner of their disabili-
ty, the applicant will be given the option to
complete the test in a one-on-one environ-
ment.
If the applicant decides to write the test
in a group, the examiner will then ensure
that the applicant takes up a seat at the
front of the class, he explains.
The examiner will stand in front of the
applicant while presenting the class to en-
sure that the applicant understands the in-
structions given. The applicant will also be
given a chance to ask questions of clarity
should they fail to understand the instruc-
tions given by the examiner. If the appli-
cant decides towrite the test in aone-on-one
environment, then the management repre-
sentative will submit such an application
to the department of transport, says
Smith.
According to Smith, an investigationwas
conducted to shed more light on the above
matter.
Enquiriesweremadewith the examiner
who conducted the test on the day in ques-
tion and he could recall the incident and re-
membered the applicant, says Smith.
According to the examiner, it was only
after he presented the class to the appli-
cants that this specific applicant informed
him of his hearing problem.
He then asked the applicant whether he
would be able to continue with the test, or
whether alternative arrangements should
be made.
The applicant informed the examiner
that he would be able to understand
through lip-reading.
The examiner then decided to repeat the
presentation and took up a position right
in front of the applicant to give him the best
opportunity to understand. After the pre-
sentation the examiner asked the applicant
whether he understood his explanation, to
which he responded positively by showing
his thumb.

n Skenking van meer as R3,4 miljoen se
boeke gaan laerskole in die Wes-Kaap be-
hoorlik aan die lees sit!
Op Maandag 13 Junie het NB-uitgewers
di groot geskenk aan die Suid-Afrikaanse
Onderwys-ontwikkelingstrust (Saoot) by
On the Dot se kantore in Sacks-sirkel in
Bellville oorhandig vir n biblioteekprojek
vir laerskole in die Wes-Kaap.
Ek voel nou soos Kersvader in die mid-
del van die jaar. Einde verlede jaar is die
projek afgeskop by die primre skole
Scottsville in Kraaifontein, Tygersig in Ra-
vensmead en Irista in Kuilsrivier.
Met die skenking van NB-uitgewers kan
ons nou ook drie skole in die Suid-Kaap van
boeke voorsien.
Die skole wat die skenking daar gaan
ontvang, is die Sekondre Bridgeton op
Oudtshoorn, die Laerskool Friemersheim
net buite George en die Sekondre Skool
Hillcrest op Mosselbaai, het Daniel van
Wyk, bestuurder van die trust, ges.
Michelle Cooper, uitgewer van kinder-
boeke by NB-uitgewers, s sy het die berig
oor die biblioteekprojek in dieTygerBurger
van 11 Mei gelees en het n e-pos aan Van
Wyk gestuur om meer oor die projek uit te
vind.
Ons het juis op daardie tydstip oorweeg
om boeke te skenk en die projek het aan al
ons vereistes vir n skenking voldoen, het
Cooper ges.
Volgens Van Wyk het die berig gelei tot
drie radio-onderhoude en Lapa-uitgewers
en HSRC Press het ook laat weet dat hulle
boeke het wat hulle wil skenk.
HSRC Press sal hoofsaaklik naslaanwer-
ke en handleidings vir onderwysers skenk,
terwyl Lapa-uitgewers leesboeke wil voor-
sien vir laer- en horskole.
Die meeste leerders in die voorheen be-
nadeelde gemeenskappe het nie die luukse
van n biblioteek in hul woongebied of by
hul skole nie.Met die skenkings kan ons die
skole vra om n klaskamer of n le vertrek
te omskep in n biblioteek.
By skole waar daarwel le boekrakke is,
kan ons dit aanvul met van die boeke, het
Van Wyk ges.
Die boeke gaannou verskuifword vanOn
theDot se pakstoor na n stoorplek inBlack-
heath.
Gedurende die skoolvakansie sal die
boeke uitgesorteer word vir laer- en hor-
skole om die vervoer agterna te vergemak-
lik. Ek het n lys name van skole wat regtig
n behoefte het aan boeke, en hulle sal voor-
keur kry.
Hy het ook bygevoeg dat Nedine Blom,
ambassadeur van die wiskunde- en biblio-
teekprojek, tydens oorhandigings by skole
meer inligting oor die wiskunde-projek aan
die onderwysers en leerders sal gee.
V Navrae oor die projek kan per e-pos aan Van Wyk
na [email protected] gestuur word.

Unemployed equipped for life
T
he Fisantekraal Centre for Develop-
ment (FCD) near the Durbanville taxi
rank is not only about economic em-
powerment, but also about equipping unem-
ployed people for a meaningful life.
Jane Gelderman, director of FCD, elabo-
rates: We equip our students with the nec-
essary skills that will help them to become
economically active, as well as developing
emotional, social and spiritual skills.
The centre has been running courses to
support and guide the unemployed and
semi-employed for a number of years now.
The aim of the courses is to restore digni-
ty and improve self-esteem and self-confi-
dence to those who have lost hope in ever
finding employment, says Gelderman.
All students have to complete the job read-
iness course before they can move on to any
of the other courses. This course prepares
learners for the world of work by teaching
life skills, basic computer skills and a cus-
tomer service orientation.
As a Christian based non-profitable orga-
nisation, the students are also encouraged to
participate in spiritual development ses-
sions run by local pastors from five Durban-
ville churches.
Imelda Cleaphas, who recently completed
the course, says the sessions on life skills
and spiritual development taught me I am
a work in progress.
I realised that I need to be more thought-
ful when I deal with people, but that I am
quite good at resolving conflict, she says.
Another student, Ziyanda Kwinana, says:
When I started the course I was shy and un-
sure of myself, but now I have more confi-
dence and know how to communicate with
people.
Once students have completed the job
readiness course, they have the option to go
on retail training programmes at a variety
of businesses.
They can also move on to
the frail care or office basics
programmes, Gelderman ex-
plains. Upon successful com-
pletion of these work-ready
courses, FCD offers support
in placing their students,
where possible.
Entrepreneurial courses
are very important, Gelder-
man says.
There are many unem-
ployed people out there who
are running small business-
es from home. Our courses
will help them to grow their
businesses and to make sure
that they run as profitably as
possible, she says.
Our bake-for-profit
course is very popular, she
says.
Students love the combi-
nation of the theorywe teach
together with the hands-on
baking. They also greatly
benefit from their job shad-
ow at local bakeries, which
gives them the opportunity
to discover some of the finer
skills they require to man-
age a small business.
Partnerships with local
bakeries afforded these
learners with an opportuni-
ty to experience working in a commercial
kitchen for the first time, she says.
This nine-week course consists of two
days of training per week Wednesdays for
business skills theory and Thursdays for
baking practicals.
FCD will also be offering another entre-
preneurial programme a business skills
course to help inexperienced business
owners succeed in their businesses.
We will teach our students business
skills that will enable them to successfully
run their existing businesses or give them
the confidence and knowledge to go out
there and start anewbusiness, saysGelder-
man .
The modules will cover business plan-
ning, costing and pricing as well as market-
ing.
This course will also be running on
Wednesdays and Thursdays from 08:00 to
16:00.
To attend this course, candidates should
have Grade 10 and have been operating an
informal business for a period of at least
three months.
We hope that this course will inspire our
students to take that first step and realise
that as they grow their businesses, they can
become part of the solution to the unemploy-
ment problem in the country.
There are several ways in which the com-
munity can get involvedwith this initiative,
continues Gelderman.
People can identify individuals with tal-
ent and potential fromvulnerable communi-
ties and introduce them to the services of-
fered by the centre.
They can also become job shadow or job
placement partners for the graduates of the
courses, or offer their time, services or fi-
nances to ensure the continuity of this com-
munity initiative, she says.
V Courses continue to run throughout the year and
interested students, sponsors or donors can contact
FCDon021 975 7764or visitwww.fisantekraal.org.za.
Tania Shimmers, front, a bake for profit student, is helping with
some baking at the Tuttis Bakery in Parow. With her are two
staff members, Samantha Davids (left) and Violet Tom.
Students Zukiswa Ncubeni, Jason October and Lena Jones participated in job shadowing at
Vodacoms call centre on completion of their office basics training.

Six thugs were apprehended by Bracken-
fell police on Old Paarl Road on Wednes-
day.
The five men and one woman were ar-
rested on several charges including that
of possession of a stolen motor vehicle
and stolen goods, possession of a danger-
ous weapon, and dagga. Implements used
to break into cars as well as a home-made
knife with a 30cm long blade were found
in the vehicle.
Sergeants Etienne Jonas and Chantel-
le Nutt were doing routine patrols when
they received a backup call from the Bell-
ville police, who were following the sus-
pects who appeared suspicious down Old
Paarl Road, says police spokesperson
Warrant Officer Erica Crous.
Jonas and Nutt responded within min-
utes and pulled over the blue Toyota Co-
rolla on the corner of Brackenfell Boule-
vard and Old Paarl Road.
When they tested the vehicle, it
showed up as stolen in Harare in 2013,
and upon searching the vehicle they
found the stolen goods, a front loader CD
player and amplifier,weapons and imple-
ments, says Crous.
The suspects, all fromRavensmead, ap-
peared in the Blue Downs Magistrates
Court on Friday.

A
Grade 3 pupil of Kenridge Primary
School was almost kidnapped this
past Friday while she was waiting for
her mother to fetch her from school.
This came amidst several hoax reports on
social media of attempted child kidnap-
pings at various schools around the Boland
and northern suburbs recently. In one of
these hoax reports a Toyota Quantummini-
bus was reported as suspicious, but turned
out to be agents of Ozone Aqua selling their
products.
But this time, it really happened.
According to the principal, Sandy Smith,
the child was standing near the Koos Ek-
steen hockey field at the stop street on the
corner of Van RiebeeckAvenue and Rhodes
Street at about 13:15.
A white kombi-type vehicle with a man
and a woman inside stopped next to the girl
and they told her that hermother had asked
them to fetch her from school.
The girl turned around and ran back into
the school grounds, Smith said. Themother
came to fetch her child and they reported
the incident to the police and theCNi armed
response, but did not lay a charge.
Captain Marchell Rhode, media spokes-
person of the Durbanville police, confirmed
the incident was reported to the head of sec-
tor 3 of the Durbanville police.
However, he said that it was reported to
the police that the vehicle in question was
a white bakkie.
According to Rhode the sector head said
they have been doing regular patrols at the
school since the incident.
Weve put out a message to our parents
to collect their children on time after
school. We have also instructed our chil-
dren to wait for their parents inside the
school grounds and have teachers standing
in our car park at home time to ensure the
learners safety, said Smith.
CNi armed response is also patrolling the
entrances to the school at both sides when
the school comes out in Tygervalley Road
and Van Riebeeck Road, says Stephen
Swartz,manager of the response unit of CNi
armed response.
According to him they are also on the
lookout for suspicious vehicles or people in
the vicinity of the school.
In another real incident two girls also es-
caped kidnapping at the Rusthof Primary
School in Strand last Wednesday.
Deputy principal Ikraam Wentzel con-
firmed the ten-year-old Grade 5 girls were
approached by an elderly woman with long
blonde hair, dressed in black, and a man in
a blue bakkie. The woman tried to force the
girls into the bakkie, but they managed to
break free and ran back into the school
grounds.
This came amidst several alleged false re-
ports of attempts to snatch children or peo-
ple taking photographs of children at
schools and elsewhere.
The rumours of children being targeted
at schools in the northern suburbs as well
as in Franschhoek, Strand, Somerset West
and Paarl started making the rounds a few
months ago in social media like WhatsApp
and Facebook.
Durbanville police warned that people
must make sure of their facts before they
post or distribute alerts on social media.

eing a drug addict has been likened to
wearing a mask.
At first you find the seemingly self-
confident person looking back at you in the
mirror intriguing, but before too long you
cannot even recall the real you.
You become themask, and without it you
feel incomplete. Every now and again an
addict will experience a moment of clarity
and yearn to be free. However, this is the
exception rather than the rule.
According to Ramots manager, Lettie
Visser, the vast majority of patients who
walk through their doors are there because
of someone else. More often than not a
loved one or an employer demands the pa-
tient comes for treatment. It is rare that pa-
tients realise themselves their addiction ac-
tually hurts those closest to them themost.
With Drug AwarenessWeek from 24 to 28
June just around the corner, TygerBurger
spoke to one of the rehabilitation centres
operating in the northern suburbs.
Ramot Treatment Centre for Substance
Dependence in Parow was established in
1964 by theDutchReformedChurchandhas
since guided thousands of addicts from all
over South Africa to a full recovery.
By far the two most common addictions
they treat are alcohol and tik dependence.
Every week on a Tuesday and Thursday
people from all walks of life are admitted
and subjected to an intense and profession-
ally managed rehabilitation programme,
consisting of one week of detox and four
weeks of structured in-patient pro-
grammes. Ultimately, all of the patients are
drug-free by the time they are discharged.
At Ramot, once patients are out of detox,
theydont just lie in bed.Wehavemanypro-
grammes designed to assist them in their
recovery.We provide structure, a good diet,
a creativeworkshop and a gym, to namebut
a few benefits, says Visser. We are rather
unique in the fact thatwe dont have former
addicts on the payroll, but rather profes-
sional, qualified and registered staff.We do,
however, make use of ex-addict volunteers.
We have the therapeutic services of a psy-
chologist, a biokineticist, social workers, a
teacher and a spiritual counsellor.
We see the ugly side of dagga addiction.
It blocks the normal cognitive and emotion-
al development of adolescents.We have had
patients here in their thirties with themen-
tal and emotional capacity of teenagers.
Their sense of responsibility is so far re-
moved from reality that it seems almost a
lost cause.
Donations from the public are invaluable
and serves an incredibly great cause. Any-
one who wants to show their support can
go to our website, www.ramot.co.za.
V Read next weeks TygerBurger for the stories of
an addict and an ex-addict.

Ranting over
rising rental
rates
At the start of July my 22-month-old baby
boy will be living in his third home
poor kid.
It has gotten so bad that his first
coherent sentence might very well be
Pack it in a box.
Quite astonishingly, I have moved 23
times in 17 years. Suffice to say, I know
what Im talking about when it comes to
rental prices.
It has also struck me how little home
owners know about the price of renting a
decent place in Cape Town.
All they are concerned about is wheth-
er they will be paying a little more or a
little less next month due to the interest
rate.
As rental tenants we face an industry
standard annual price hike of 10%!
Every year we are 10% poorer! Add
half a cup of Eskom and a spoonful of
inflation and you have a baked monstros-
ity that chips teeth.
In just seven
years from now
one can expect to
pay double one
pays now!
A shoestring
budget can only be
cut so much. Soon
there will be no
shoestring left!
Agents and
owners who rent
out their properties
have no problem
getting tenants
because of the
great migration
from the rest of the country to Cape
Town.
Someone ought to tell Gautengers
perhaps they are better off in the north.
I compared renting prices from Gaut-
eng and Cape Town this week. I fully
expected to see a similarity in what you
can get for R10 000 a month.
With that money I can rent a nice
townhouse with an impressive garden in
one of the best security complexes in
Pretoria. In Cape Town I have seen
smaller townhouses with smaller gardens
in Kraaifontein go for R10 000.
I love Cape Town, but something
drastically needs to happen to curb
renting prices, which are quite obviously
completely out of control.
The only way to keep head above water
seems to buy property.
The other day I went into a book store
and saw one in the self-help section about
empowering a middle income household
to buy a house in South Africa.
I paged through it in disbelief and
returned it to where it belongs the
fiction section. Rent-a-lot

I wonder if Ilse Haas is not a
bit too harsh in her description
of the terrible Capetonians
(Cape Town and its clicky
circles, TB, 8 June). The truth
is that in most cities people
are busy and have their own
circles; it is not just a Cape
Town thing.
But I wonder how far her
own ideas actually make it
worse? There are ways to
make friends. My daughter and
family relocated to Australia a
few years ago, landed in a
small town with no other
South Africans, and by being
active and helpful at school,
joining a local church, inviting
people over for a braai and
just being friendly and outgo-
ing, they have more friends
than they can handle now.
I myself arrived here in the
Cape 23 years ago and had to
hear from the Pretoria crowd
how distant the Capetonians
were. Within a few months I
had a few good friends and I
still wait to meet these horri-
ble Capetonians (they are
there, but they should not be
your norm).
It takes a bit of effort and
moving out of ones comfort
zone, but it can be done. Ilse,
you are welcome to phone me
Its not just a
Cape Town thing
More often than not when our
government hospitals appear in
the papers, they take the rap.
This time Im writing to say a
special thank you to the
excellent team at the Special
Care Unit, Obstetric and
Gynaecology, of Tygerberg
Hospital.
I am a foreigner who has
lived in and loved Cape Town
for the past five years. Al-
though living healthily with a
health complication known as
sickle cell anemia, I knew
having children would be no
mean feat for me.
When I fell pregnant with my
first daughter in 2013, my
doctor referred me to the
Special Care Unit at Tygerberg.
I met Professor Hull and his
team back then and it was a
wonderful experience being
managed by them. Although I
was in the hospital for the most
part of the pregnancy, I had no
regrets. Hence I returned barely
two years later in 2015. Again,
this team was up to the task in
terms of professionalism, care
and the help they rendered to
ensure I had another healthy
baby and that my health didnt
deteriorate.
Sickle cell anemia is not a
health complication that doctors
see frequently in South Africa.
For some of the doctors on the
team it was their first encoun-
ter of a patient with sickle cell
anemia and being pregnant was
a very high risk. Hull and his
team went over and above the
call of duty. In conjunction with
the haematology unit, my
pregnancies were well managed
in spite of the multiple hospital-
isations due to sickle cell
anemia. complications in the
pregnancy.
I must not forget the nurses
at ward C2A East they were

W
hat if TygerBurger werent a news-
paper, but a broadcasting agency?
What if you werent bound to lis-
ten to hyper local news impacting on the
suburb you live in, but rather the northern
suburbs as a whole?
Would this then contradict what Tyger-
Burger stands for?
Followers of the newspaper on Facebook
wouldhavenoticed anew feature aweekly
wrap-up video posted every Tuesday.
In this short video some of the articles
that appear in the newspaper are highlight-
ed, giving you the biggestweekly news from
the northern suburbs in bite-sized chunks.
Some broadcasters bring you global
news, some focus on a particular city, but
no-one targets a relatively small area such
as the northern suburbs.
Thismeans, of course, that thenewspaper
continues to set the bar of hyper local con-
tent across all mediums.
One of WP Medias journalists, Brenden
Ruiter, asked himself how one can spread
the news in a digital world, and make it as
easy as possible for Facebook users to stay
up to date.
The answer was simple, he says.
Why not a weekly news bulletin? We
started amonthor twoago and thepopulari-
ty of the videos is for all to see. Its still a
work in progress, of course, with finer de-
tails still being ironed out.
A couple of minutes a week to stay up to
date with news headlines? The viewers
convenience is clearly the catch phrase.
Another imminent adoption will be roll-
ing text, whichwill mean one canwatch the
video with no sound if necessary.
In essence, it is a news broadcast with a
verybrief description of the chosenarticles.
If one snippet piques your interest, you
can read more about it on the newspapers
free website under the Netwerk24 domain.
All you need to do is type tygerburger.co.za
into the URL bar of your browser.
The same concept has also been embraced
by the southern suburbs Peoples
Post, so in just six minutes you can
get a community newspapers per-
spective of happenings in thewhole
of Cape Town.
Peoples Post journalist and bulle-
tin presenter Samantha Lee says
the additional challenge has been
an exciting venture thus far.
This venture helps us satisfy the
news needs of those on the move
and assists our journalists in tell-
ing the inspiring stories of others
that may not have made it into the
readers relevant editions.

DESIRE RORKE
@dezzierorke
n
Week voor verlede Kersfees het
dokters haar familie meegedeel dat
niks meer vir haar gedoen kan
word nie. Net n wonderwerk kon haar nog
red.
Die 16-jarige Jaydeen Coetzee is op 7 De-
sembermet n sagteweefsel-sarkoomge- di-
agnoseer en n talle operasies het haar toe-
stand so versleg dat medici alle hoop ver-
loor het. Dokters het nie gedink sy sal nog
n dag sien nie.
Ek het aanhou veg en deurgedruk tot
Kersfees, wat ek in die hospitaal met my
familie deurgebring het, vertel sy.
En vandag, ses maande later en teen alle
verwagtinge in, leef sy nog steeds voluit
oortuig daarvan dat sy ten volle genees is
van die kanker.
Ek gaan deur n baiemoeilike tyd,maar
ek hou vas aan die hand van die Here. Hy
het my tot hier gebring en dra my steeds
elke dag, het sy in n onlangse radio-on-
derhoud met Radio Tygerberg ges toe sy
haar geloofsgetuienis met luisteraars in
Kaapstad gedeel het.
Sy het tot einde Januarie in die Medicli-
nic CapeGate gebly waar sy chemoterapie
ontvang het. Daar het sy baie vriende ge-
maak en almal het haar in hul harte opge-
neem. Sy het ook almal aangeraak met
haar sterk geloofsoortuiging, s haar ma,
Ricky Faro.
Sy en haar ma ry elke 15de dag van
Springbok af Kaap toe vir behandeling.
Twee weke gelede het sy egter haar be-
handeling gestaak. Jaydeen glo nou sy is
gesond en dat die bestraling, wat haar nog
baie siek maak, die enigste struikelblok in
haar pad na genesing is, sMarietjie Voll-
graaff van Brackenfell.
Vollgraaff wat ook by Reach for a Dream
betrokke is, het Jaydeen se droom help be-
waarheid om n kamera te besit.
Toe ek hoor van haar wens om n foto-
graaf te word, het ek dieselfde dag nog n
plan gemaak omdie kamera byhaar te kry.
Sy is so n inspirasie vir almal met wie sy
in aanraking kom en ek hoop dat al haar
drome bewaarheid sal word, voeg sy by.
Ek wou baie graag n kamera gehad het
en was in die wolke oor die geskenk. Ek
leer myself nou fotos neem en neem fotos
van alles en almal, s sy. Terug in Spring-
bok, gaan dit nou baie goed met haar, s
sy. Ek is glad nie meer bang nie. Ek is n
kind van ons Pappa Jesus. Hy het my ge-
kies omSywerkvirHomopaarde te doen,
s sy. Haar ma, Ricky, s hulle sal binne
nmaandweet of haar liggaamverder afge-
takel word. Die dokters s so, maar nie-
mand weet wat gaan gebeur nie.
Jaydeen Coetzee is hier tydens een van haar vele besoeke aan Kaapstad.

LOUISA STEYL
@lousteyl
S
yt eers twee jaar gelede haar debuut
gemaak, maar Liz van der Walt is al
klaar op die kassie te sien.
Die Brackenfell-inwoner speel die rol van
die matriarg Marguerite Koekemoer in die
nuwe minireeks Die Koekemoers.
Die reeks word deur ATKV aangebied en
isWoensdae om 07:00 opDie Groot Ontbyt op
kykNET te sienwaarin kykers die vakansie-
kaskenades van die Koekemoer-gesin kan
volg.
Die Koekemoers is n doodgewone alle-
daagse gesin wat van vakansie hou veral
as hulle kan kamp, vertel Liz. Daar is n
kmmin streep in hulle soos meeste mense
maar het so hulle is nie heeltemal alles ge-
woond nie.
Liz verduidelik dat die uitdagings waar-
mee elke gesin sukkel wanneer hulle gaan
kampof vakansie gaanhou, uitgebeeldword
met n goeie skep humor.
Haar karakter, wat sy sommer Mamma
Koekemoer noem, deel die skermmet haar
veelsydige man, Johan, gespeel deur die
Afrikaanse sanger Joe F, haar seun Johan
jr.vertolk deur TJ Day en haar goth-dogter,
MeganViperKoekemoer, gespeel deurDa-
nielle du Plessis.
Ek is baie kwaaimetmyman enhouhom
graag op sy tone, s Liz van Marguerite.
