EERSTE RIVER: CONVICTS WARN OF LIFE BEHIND BARS
Teens get ‘taste’ of jailRICHARD ROBERTS
@richardjohn_rj
High school pupils in Eerste River andBlackheath were given a slight tasteof what life behind bars is like.
The presentation about life in jail and thedangers that accompany it, was hosted by agroup of former convicts belonging to thePrisoners of Christ Ministries.The first presentation was held last week
at Kleinvlei High School and on Monday atBlackheath High School.“It is really something to witness. The
children’s eyes actually widen when theyhear these stories,” said Captain FlorinaMuller, spokesperson for the Kleinvlei po-lice.
Roleplay surprisePrisoners of Christ surprised the children
with a role-play and sketched their own lifeas former prisoners to warn the school chil-dren of life in prison, Muller said.The presentation at Kleinvlei High
School, which forms part of a Safer SchoolsProject, was held in conjunctionwith the po-lice and local artists.
Peter Hendricks and his wife, Sophia,partnered with a friend, Adriaan Samuels,on the initiative and made the event unfor-gettable for these school children, Mullersaid.
Testimony of life in prisonA total of 950 children listened very care-
fully to the talks about behaviour in schoolsand the illegal activities they partake in.“Drugs and gangs were some of the topics
that were discussed.“Prisoners of Christ gave testimonies of
their life in prison, about the illegal activi-ties they were involved in from a young age,and how they were placed in rehabilitationcentres by [the department of] social devel-opment or sentenced to years of imprison-ment,” explained Muller .As part of their social crime responsibili-
ties, Muller, her colleague Keith Africa andthe sector commander, Warrant Officer Jo-hannes Jacobus Alexander, spoke to thelearners about peer pressure, small gangsformed at school, drug smuggling ontoschool premises and the choices they makein life.The children were given the chance tospeak to Prisoners of Christ after the pre-sentations.
Need to knowJulian Unthank, chairperson of the lo-
cal community police forum (CPF), saidas a body they support the initiative.“The young ones need to know what
awaits them when they enter a life ofcrime.“We will however have to wait and see
whether they take note and follow theright path,” he said.He added that theCPFwelcomes the ini-
tiative to warn teenagers about the dan-gers of prison.“Drugs cause a big problem in the area.
The drug bosses make a lot of money andthat business is also the reason there isterritorial fights among the gangs.“These fights spill over into schools,”he
said.Unthank said the drug problem is get-
ting worse by the day and everythingshould be done to prevent young childrenfrom committing crime.

Die vierde en laaste verdagte in die Va-lencia Farmer-moordsaak is gister bydie Blue Downs-landdroshof vir sy
aandeel in dié gru-aanval gestraf.ElmarioMaasdorp (36), wat in September
verlede jaar in hegtenis geneem is, is vanmoord enverkragting aangekla.Hy is gister23 jaar lank tronkstraf opgelê vir moord ennog 23 jaar vir verkragting. Die straf sal sa-melopend uitgedien word, sê ondersoekbe-ampte lt.kol. Eddie Clark.“Die saak is uiteindelik afgehandel.“ ’n Pleitooreenkoms is aangegaan waar-
meedie landdros tevrede is,” hetClark gesê.Valencia (14) is 16 jaar gelede wreed aan-
gerand en vir die dood gelaat. Sy is verkragen meer as 50 keer gesteek. Haar keel is ookgesny.Sy is vir die dood gelaat, maar kon voor
haar afsterwe van haar aanvallers by dieTygerberg-hospitaal noem.Die nuus oor haar dood is wyd deur die
media gedek.Die finale hoofstuk is egter gister finaal
afgesluit. Iets waaroor Clark baie verheugis.“Vir my gaan dit nie daaoor om krediet
hiervoor te ontvang nie.
“Ek is net dankbaar vir die samewerkingvan die Blue Downs-ondersoekeenheid on-der leiding van genl. Vincent Beatonwat ge-help het met die ondersoek.”Die eenheid is op 1 Junie 2015 op die been
gebring.“Hulle het goed gedoen.”Clarke sê hy gee alle lof aan die eenheid.
“Dis nou ook’n geleentheidvir die ma (Syl-via Farmer) omsluiting te kry.“Die saak is
verby. Hy (El-mario) was dielaaste verdagte.Daar is geen an-der verdagteswat betrokke is,wat nou meerhoef gevang teword nie,” sêClarke.Hy sê Valen-
cia kan ook nouin vrede rus.“Die straf wat
Elmario opgelêis, het nog nieby my ingesink
nie, maar ná soveel jare voel ek goed oor diestraf.“Die reg het geskied. Ek is sprakeloos,
maar opgewonde.”Hy sê die saak het hom vele slapelose nag-
te besorg.“Maar ek is net bly dis nou alles verby,”
sê Clarke.

In sy 23 jaar het hy meer bereik as baieander volwassenes.
Met dié woorde het JP Smith, burge-meesterskomiteelid vir veiligheid en seku-riteit, die afgelope naweek eer gebring aan’n jongman van Blackheath, wat op Maan-dag 25 Januarie in ’n motorongeluk opHindleweg, Blue Downs dood is.
Tyrone Jafta, ’n model, buurtwaglid, vry-willige werker, jeugkomiteelid en werkne-mer van die Stad Kaapstad, se begrafnis-diens is Saterdagoggend in die AGS-kerk inValleystraat gehou.
Smith, wat die diens namens die burge-meester Patricia de Lille bygewoon het, hetaan ’n stampvol kerk gesê dat Tyrone niesy lewe verkwis het nie.
“Hy was deel van ons familie by die Stad.”
Tyrone was ook deel van die wetstoepas-sers se reserwe-eenheid.
“Hy gaan gemis word,” het Smith afge-sluit.
Tyrone was tot en met sy dood nog dieMnr. Worcester-titelhouer.
Hulde is gebring deur vriende, die Stad,die direkteur van die Mnr. en Mej. Worce-ster-kompetisie, die wetstoepassingsdepar-tement en die Nissan-motorklub, waarvanTyrone ’n lid was.
In sy huldeblyk is hy beskryf as iemandom na op te kyk, ’n persoon wat almal ge-raak het net waar hy kom en ’n individu wataltyd respek teenoor almal betoon het.
Tyrone was ook die sekretaris van dieGreenfields-buurtwag.
Jonathan Klein, voorsitter van dié buurt-wag, sêTyronewas ’n geesdriftige jongman,altyd vol lewe en iemand vir wie geen taakooit te groot was nie.

Mensehandel is ’n probleem wat al er-ger raak en mits die publiek nie huldeel doen nie, gaan dit net verder
uitkring.Dís die waarskuwing wat die Kuilsrivier-
polisie gee na aanleiding van die groot aan-tal kinders wat kwaad doen op die dorp sestrate en wat by dié euwel betrek word.
Kapt. Isaac van Niekerk, polisiewoord-voerder, sê kinders wat dwelms verkoop, assekswerkers snags bedrywig is en op straat-hoeke staan en bedel, word ook beskou asmensehandel.
“Hier is jong kinders in die gebied watskool vroeg verlaat en op strate werk. Dieseuns word deur volwassenes gebruik omdwelms te verkoop, en die meisies of vroueom hul liggame te verkoop. Die geld wat ge-maak word, word oorhandig aan iemandanders. Dis ook ’n vorm van mensehandel.
“Mensehandel is nie net ’n geval waarkinders of volwassenes ontvoer word en na’n ander stad of land geneem word nie.
“Die geldelike uitbuiting van kinders isook mensehandel,” sê Van Niekerk.
Buiten die verkoop van dwelms en prosti-tusie is die jong seuns wat bedel, nog so ’nvoorbeeld. “Die seuns word gebruik om byverkeersligte te staan en bedel vir geld.Teen die einde van die dag moet hulle ditaan volwassenes oorhandig.
“Die polisie wil die publiek hieroor be-wus maak en aanmoedig om nie geld aanhulle te gee nie, maar eerder vir hulle ietsgee om te eet,” sê Van Niekerk.
Hy sê deur geld te skenk vererger ’n mensdie probleem. “Deur geld te gee maak ’nmens die misdaad net groter en groter,” sêVan Niekerk.
In dieselfde asem waarsku hy ook dat diepubliek nie goedkoop items teen die pad bykinders moet koop nie. “Ons wil mense be-wus maak daarvan. Hulle word ingeloopdeur bargains te koop op strate – goed watwaarskynlik elders gesteel is.
“Die goedkoop items is iemand anders sehartseer. Baie van die goed te koop opstraat, is waarskynlik gesteel en moontlikis daar ook mense seergemaak of vermoorom dit te bekom.
“Jy sal nie wil hê dat dit met jou gebeurnie, so koop jou goed eerder by ’n ge-registreerde handelaar,” sê Van Niekerk.
Mensehandel kring wyer uit

Binne is dit stil, jy hoor net sleutels.Saans en smiddae word jy getel. Twee-uur is jy al klaar toegesluit in die sel.
Só vertel Henry “Maoes” Josephs, wat 25jaar lank as gevangene sy straf vir moorduitgedien het.Deesdae is hy ’n vry man en wil hy die
jongspan van Wesbank verhoed om dieself-de paadjie te loop as hy.Henry (57), wat in 1989 tronk toe is, ploeg
nou terug in sy gemeenskap en doen dit deursoggens vroeg seker te maak dat die klein-span by die Laerskool Wesbank Nommer 1veilig by die skool uitkom enmiddae die padhuis toe veilig oorsteek.Henry, ’npavan13kinders, staandaagliks
by die voetoorgang in Hoofweg in Wesbank,waar hy die verkeer reguleer en kinders vei-lig oor die pad help.“Soms hardloop hulle oor die pad. Hier
was al van die kinders omgestamp en daarhet al ’n paar ongelukke plaasgevind,” geehy sy motivering vir sy optrede.Henry, wat in Barberton in die tronk was,
het in Januarie 2014met sy vrylating besluitom ’n nuwe blaadjie om te slaan.“Ek het besluit dat ek die bendes gaan los.
Dit bring my niks in die sak nie,” sê Henry.“Ekhet in die gemeenskap beginwerk.Dit
is iets wat my nou gelukkig maak,” sê hy.“Ek geniet die werk ook.”
Hy sê die ouers in die gemeenskap is ooktevrede met dit wat hy doen.“Ek het nie geld of betaling by die gemeen-
skap of skoolhoof hiervoor gevra nie. Ek
doen dit omdat ek dit wil doen,” sê dié werk-lose pa.Hy meld soggens baie vroeg aan by sy
punt, “nog voordat die kinders hier aan-kom”.Sy jare as gevangene was moeilik – iets
waaroor hy nie maklik praat nie.“Ekwas eintlik ’n generaal in die 28’s-ben-
de. As generaal het ek bevele gegee en dieander lede moes dit uitvoer.“Ek het later uitgevind dis nie die moeite
werd nie,” sê hy.Hy het ook ander gevangenes by bendes
betrokke laat raak.“Met my vrylating in 2014 het ek besluit
tot hier toe en nie verder nie.“Ek gaan nou eers met die gemeenskap
werk,” sê hy.Hy wil ook – met behulp van die polisie en
skole – praatjies by skole aanbied en leer-ders bewus maak van die gevare van mis-daad.“Spyt kom altyd te laat. Ek wil nie hê an-
der moet dieselfde fout maak nie.”Om vry te wees maak Henry baie geluk-
kig. “Ekvoel gelukkig omdat ekmysaak reg-gemaak het en omdat ek besluit het om metdie gemeenskap te werk pleks van om metdie verkeerde dinge voort te gaan.“Elke mens kry mos ’n tweede kans.”
Henry gebruik nou sy ‘tweede kans’

’n See van blou en wit het die skoolkleu-re van die Laerskool Excelsior in Bell-ville net soveel helderder laat uitstaantoe dié skool die honderde kanne waterwat sy leerders vir boere ingesamel het,verlede Woensdag op sy voorstoep uit-stal.Met TygerBurger se besoek het die
skool se gr. 6M-klas dié kosbare vloei-stof in die helderblou bottels uitgedra enreggesit vir ’n foto, en toe later weertwee-twee en vier-vier terug ingedra –met die rooi hale nog so oor hul handevan al die harde, maar trotse werk.Hulle is die klassie vanMarianHayes,
’n juffrou wat haar nering as leerkragal vir langer as drie dekades aan diéskool beoefen, en wat die hele projek ge-koördineer het.Die skoolhoof, Hendrik Botha, loof
Hayes en die leerders vir die poging.“Die groot doel van die projek was om
die leerders te leer om vir ander om te
gee,” sê hy.En hy mág maar trots wees: Die hele
skool het aan die projek deelgeneem ensowat 900 bottels water is ingesamel.’nWeldoener vanDe laHaye sal noudie
bottels na die Vrystaat vervoer.Botha sê die vorige jaar het die leerders
weer tweedehandse klere vir behoeftigesingesamel.“Watter beter plek om ’n groot vrag
warm klere in die winter af te laai, as inSutherland, die koudste dorp in dieland?” sê Botha.Met dié dat die skool weer vanjaar sy
gees van omgeewouwys, het een seuntjiedie taak sommer tot op die volgende vlakgevoer.Dié gr. 2’tjie, Jay Nomdo, het op sy eie
(maar darem sekerlik met sy mamma enpappa se hulp!) ’n hele 60 vyfliter-kannewater ingesamel en skool toe gebring!Sonder dat hy dalk al self die vermenig-
vuldiging van hierdie som kan doen, hetdié seun met trots breed geglimlag toe syfoto geneem is, terwyl hy so tussen syblinkhelder skenking sit.

’n Ervare slangvanger wat onlangsdeur ’n Kaapse kobra gepik is, sê hyherstel goed ná die voorval.
Ao. Doep du Plessis, lid van die Mfuleni-polisiekantoor, is op 23 Januarie deur dieslang gepik terwyl hy besig was om dit teverwyder.
Doep vang al vir meer as drie dekadesslange.
Hy is ná sy aanval by die Netcare 911Kuilsrivier-hospitaal opgeneem en behan-del voordat hy weer ontslaan is.
“Dit gaan goed, ek moet net vandag weeringaanhospitaal toe omnamyvinger te laatkyk,” het hy gister aan TygerBurger vertel.
“Ek is deur die hel, maar het daardeur ge-kom. Nou moet ek die hel afskud,” sê Doep.
“Dis nie ’n grap om deur ’n kobra gebytte word nie,” vertel hy.
Doep sê andersins het sy liggaam volko-me herstel.
“Dis net die bytplek wat nog moet herstel.Verder is ek reg en gesond. Ek raak nog netvinnig moeg.
“Ek moes van vooraf leer loop en my han-de en vingers leer beweeg.
“Dis nie so maklik soos ’n mens wil hênie,” sê hy.
Hy sê ’n slangbyt is ’n ernstige affêre.“’n Mens is eintlik dankbaar vir alles wat
jy het en kry ná so ’n vreeslike ervaring,”vertel hy..

Dumping: harsh penalties comingPeople illegally dumping waste or rub-
ble might face a tougher penalty forbreaking the law.
This warning follows a possible change inthe waste by-law – a change that might soonallow for stricter punishment, the City ofCape Town said
Lastweek theCity said inabid to strength-en its arsenal against illegal dumping,which costs ratepayers millions of rands ev-ery year, the mayoral committee has pro-posed an amendment to the integrated wastemanagement by-law – a change that wouldallow for the impoundment of vehicles usedin illegal dumping.
The change in the by-law will soon allowfor the City’s law enforcement agencies toseize, without a warrant, a vehicle that issuspected of or is on reasonable grounds be-lieved to be involved with illegal dumping,Ernest Sonnenberg, Mayco member for util-
ity services, said.The amendment to the by-law was re-
cently approved by the mayoral commit-tee.
Should the full council approve theamendment, it will pave the way for itspromulgation, the City explains.
The seized and impounded vehicle willonly be released if a criminal charge is notlaid or no fine is issued within 48 hours ofits seizure, if the criminal charges againstthe individual have been withdrawn or ifthey have been acquitted of the charged of-fence.
The court may furthermore declare thatsuch a vehicle be forfeited to the state, pro-vided that this would not affect the rightsof any person to the vehicle, they explain.
Individuals found guilty of using theirvehicle for illegal dumping, with that vehi-cle having been seized and impounded, will
need to pay a tariff for its release, the valueof which will increase for the first three of-fences, the City said.
A guilty party will have to fork out R7 500to have their vehicle released for the first of-fence, R10 000 for the second and R15 000 forthe third.
Each subsequent impoundment fee willhave a value of R15 000.
“The City spends around R350m annuallyin its efforts to keep pace with the volumesof illegally dumped waste that appear acrossCape Town.
“It is essential that the City is afforded thechannels and support necessary in order toaddress this ongoing damage to our environ-
mental health and unacceptable drain onour funds.
“Illegal dumpers across the city are collec-tively playing their part in depriving com-munities of services and infrastructure thatcould be put in place with that amount ofmoney, suchas sports facilities or socialwel-fare programmes. Instead, those funds areused to clean up after a few selfish resi-dents,” Sonnenberg said.
The City operates 24 drop-off facilitiesacross the metropolitan that accept variouswaste materials in volumes of up to 1.5 ton-nes three times a day.V Illegal dumping can be reported to the City’s callcentre on 0860 103 089.

Is jy ’n betroubare informant? En het jy in-ligting wat kan lei tot die arrestasie en skul-digbevinding van ’n misdadiger?
Indien dit die geval is, vra die polisie jouhulp. Volgens kapt. Isaac van Niekerk,woordvoerder by die Kuilsrivier-polisie-kantoor, is inligting wat deur informanteaan hulle verskaf word oor misdadigers enhul doen en late, uiters noodsaaklik.
Boonop is daar ook ’n geldelike beloningvir diegene wat help. “Die informant en in-ligting wat hy of sy verskaf, word op ’n ui-
ters vertroulike wyse hanteer. As die inlig-ting lei tot ’n arrestasie en skuldigbevin-ding, word ’n beloning aan die informantgegee,” sê Van Niekerk.
Die minister van polisie stel jaarliks mil-joene rande beskikbaar vir dié doel.
“Die geld word gebruik om inligting in tewin en om informante te beloon,” sê VanNiekerk.
“Dis belangrik dat mense weet dat wan-neer hulle inligting aan die polisie verskaf,hul identiteit anoniem bly.
“Ons vra dat mense ons help en kontakindien hulle waardevolle inligting het,” sêVan Niekerk.

Mountain biking has seen great growth inSouth Africa, and so have the opportunitiesfor aspiring young cyclists.Despite the fact that SA boasts some of the
best mountain biking tracks in the world, itis largely inaccessible to children in high-risk communities such asBonteheuwel due to hightravelling costs and bicycletransfers.A teacher at Bergsig Pri-
mary School in Bonteheuw-el, Graham Hector, complet-ed theAbsa Cape Epic in 2015and decided to lay out a 1kmmountain biking cross coun-try course on the schoolgrounds.The course, developed
with thehelp of the JagFoun-dation, includes drops, hills,berms, jumps, tight cornersand flat straights, allowingthe children to experience allthe aspects of this excitingsport.
It has nowbecomehome to the JagFounda-tion’s JagRiders programme.Over the years numerousmountain biking
legendshave takenon theBergsig course andon Monday this week, top mountain bikersvisited the school and showed off their skills.

The Unjani Private Clinic in Delft isplaying its part inpromotinghealthawareness in the community.
Lastweek the facility hosted an impor-tant awareness programme concerningcervical cancer because health practi-tioner Patricia Philemon felt that wom-en needed to be aware of resources avail-able to them.“In the course of our normal consulta-
tionswe found that there are lots ofwom-en who are still ignorant about cervicalcancer,” she said.“My fear was that should it be found
later then it cannot be reversed, but if de-tected early it can be cured and womenwill be able to live a normal life.”At the awareness programme she ex-
plained that cervical cancer is the sec-ond most common cancer among SouthAfrican women.She says that she is determined to grab
every opportunity this year to empowerthe community as they are celebratingcancer month.“Feedback from the community was
positive,” she said.“Somecould relate to the topic andoth-
ers were sharing their personal experi-ences and engaging very well.“The environmentwas so nice and pri-
vate, allowing the community to open upand lots of bookings for pap smears weremade.”Thenext topic for themonthofFebrua-
ry will be about prostate and testicularcancer.V For more information please contact Ntomb-ozuko at 071 228 8441.

Vuurwapeneienaars moet liefs sorgdat hul wapens veilig gebêre worden sodoende verhoed dat dit in ver-
keerde hande beland.Dít is die pleidooi van die Kuilsrivier-
polisie wat gereeld gelisensieerde vuur-wapens in misdadigers se besit kry.
Kapt. Isaac van Niekerk, polisiewoord-voerder, sê die wapens word gewoonlik ty-dens huisbrake uit ’n kluis gesteel en deurmisdadigers gebruik om hul misdrywe tepleeg.
“Baie van die wapens wat ons terugkry,is gelisensieerd.
“Die groot meerderheid mense wat aan-soek doen om ’n wapenlisensie, doen ditom hulself en hul gesinne te beskerm.
“Maak net seker die wapens word veiliggebêre,” sê Van Niekerk.
EiendomWapeneienaars word ook aangemoedig
om hul eiendom uit die kluis te verwyderwanneer hulle vir lang tye van die huisaf weggaan.
“Soms word die gesteelde wapens ge-bruik om misdade te pleeg, om mense teberoof en partykeer word moorde ge-pleeg.”
Van Niekerk moedig ook mense aan omhul gesteelde wapens by die polisie aan temeld.
“Ons het al ’n geval gehad waar kindersmet vuurwapens betrap is. Mense moetasseblief versigtiger wees met hul wapensen die kluise waarin hulle dit bêre.”
Hy stel voor dat mense die sleutels vei-lig bewaar sodat kinders nie daarby kanuitkom nie.”

Die ma’s van kinders wat mishan-del word moet praat daaroor, pleksvan om stil te bly en sodoende diemishandelaar te beskerm.
Dis die versoek deur die Kuilsri-vier-polisie wat al verskeie maalsulke gevalle teëgekom het.
Kinders, veral jong meisies, wordgereeld deur hul stiefpa’s aange-rand of mishandel en die ma’s vansulke kinders kies eerder om stil tebly. Hulle wil eerder die pa be-skerm, sê kapt. Isaac van Niekerk,woordvoerder by die polisie.
Hy moedig vroue aan om eerderhul kinders te beskerm.
“Dis is so dat vroue en kindersgrotendeels die teiken is wanneerdit kom by geweldsmisdade.
“Ons kry egter baie gevalle waardie pa’s, wat nie die biologiese oueris nie, kinders molesteer en die madan die man beskerm.
“Dis nie reg teenoor die kind nie.Mense moet wegdoen daarmee,” sêVan Niekerk.
Hy sê soms voel kinders verant-woordelik vir wat met hulle gebeur.Hy sê ook dat dit moeilik is vir hulleom te praat en vir die polisie om in-ligting oor die mishandeling te be-kom.
“Hulle voel partymaal hulle isverkeerd, dat hulle skuld is. Dis eg-ter belangrik dat hulle praat, hetsymet die polisie, ’n onderwyser of ’nfamilielid wat hulle vertrou,” sêVan Niekerk.

Hope for BlikkiesdorpBetter services inBlikkiesdorp
is the aim of a local NGO inDelft this year.
Hope Cape Town has vowed tocontinue with its efforts in thecommunity of Blikkiesdorp de-spite the challenges the organisa-tion faces.The organisation currently has
permanent offices in the Delfttownship where its resident com-munity health worker providescritical interventions daily.This is in addition to the soup
kitchen, vegetable garden and so-cial worker services the organisa-tion also provides.According to donor relations
manager, Fahim Docrat, their big-gest challenge is that of ensuringsafety and security of staff, volun-teers and offices on the ground.“Our offices have been broken
into numerous times owing to theplight and desperation of people inthe community, but also the lack ofadequate police presence.“The 90% unemployment within
Blikkiesdorp and the ongoing gangviolencemakes it a dangerousmix.“Last month a 15-year-old girl,
whose familywe support andknowwell for many years, was killed incrossfire during a gang shooting.”He added that despite these chal-
lenges, they were here to stay andcommitted to serving the commu-nity.“The children of the Blikkies-
dorp crèche rely on us for break-fast every day and the toy librarythat we established for them tolearn through play. We continuewith our advocacy efforts and haverequested for the City of CapeTown and provincial government
to establish an open air gym inBlikkiesdorp which will be fantas-tic for the residents. We are hope-ful that they will heed our requestand support our efforts.”Hope Cape Town is located at the

CT aiming for 10 millionAirports Company South Africa, Cape
Town International Airport, saw asignificant increase in passenger
movement at the airport in 2015 comparedto the previous year.
The overall passenger numbers havegrown by 8.9% – from 8.6 million in 2014to approximately 9.4 million for 2015.
Domestic passenger numbers grew by8,9% while a noteworthy growth was seenin regional numbers with a 12.4% growthand international 8.8% compared to lastyear.
December last year also saw significantgrowth, with just over 736 000 arriving anddeparting passengers moving through theairport. This signals a 13.3% increase com-pared to December 2014.
Domestic arriving passengers grew by12% compared to the month of Novemberwhile international arriving passengersgrew by 5% and regional by 31% for thatperiod.
“December has been our busiest monthyet. Closing off the year on 9.4 million pas-sengers is an important milestone for the
airport and the region,” said Deidre Da-vids, communications manager for CapeTown International Airport.
“We’ve already predicted that by nextyear this time it is highly likely that theairport will have passed the 10 million pas-senger mark and this growth affirmsthat,” continued Davids.
Looking at the last three months of 2015,on the domestic front a total of 2.1 millionpassengers were processed compared to1.9 million in 2014. On the regional front51 304 passengers were processed – an18,8% increase compared to 2014 – whileinternational traffic saw an increase of7.5%.
The growth for the 2015 calendar yearcan be attributed to a number of condi-tions.
On the domestic front, new airlines andairline routes were introduced with FlyBlue Crane being the latest airline to startoperating on the Cape Town route.
On the international front the directflight Turkish Airlines put in place con-necting Cape Town and Istanbul was posi-
tive. During the year SA Express also add-ed the route to Pilanesberg and Airlink toWonderboom.
Ethiopian Airlines was also introducedin the middle of 2015 operating betweenAddis Ababa via Gaborone and Johannes-burg.
“The holiday season is not over yet.March is typically the busiest month of theyear and all indicators are that this seasonwill be one of the busiest ever. It is clearthat traffic growth is strong and steady,”added Davids.
Domestic passengers are reminded toarrive an hour and a half before theirflight and international passengers are re-minded to arrive two and a half hours be-fore their flight.
“Passengers should also consider onlinecheck-in which greatly reduces their wait-ing time at the airport when they utilisetheir airline bag drop counters for theircheck-in luggage. Passengers also need tobe mindful of the time needed to gothrough security and be at their boardinggates on time,” concluded Davids.
Slenters kos mense hul huise, karre en geld“Mense verloor hul huise, karre en groot be-drae geld as gevolg van ‘sangoma-slenters’.”
Só sê maj. Fienie Nimb nadat heelwat slen-ters by die polisie aangemeld is.
Sy sê van die verskeie maniere waaropmense uit hul geld gekul word, sluit in datdaar ’n werksaanbod geadverteer word en ’nafspraak met die slagoffer gemaak word.
“Wanneer die ontmoeting gereël word,moet die persoon in ’n kamertjie ingaan en
’n ritueel ondergaan. Dáár sal stemme sê datdie werk ‘beslis joune is, maar jy moet geldbring’. Die mense doen dit ook dan,” sêNimb. Nog ’n metode is dat daar ’n vervalstetjek van miljoene rand in die slagoffer se re-kening betaal word. Die slagoffer sien danbyvoorbeeld op hul selfoon dat daar geld in-betaal is. Dan, sodra die tjek ‘hop’, verdwyndie geld weer uit die rekening. Dan sal diesangoma met die slagoffer kontak maak en
’n ontmoeting reël. Hiertydens sal hulle danreël dat die slagoffer geld moet bring,” sêNimb. “Dié geld moet in ’n swartsak geplaasword. Dan volg daar ’n ritueel in ’n baie don-ker kamertjie. Hier word die slagoffer se saksonder sy wete omgeruil.”
Nimb sê ná die ritueel word die persoondan opdrag gegee om die swartsak met die‘geld’ op ’n ashoop of in ’n rivier te gaan gooi.
“Wanneer die persoon dan later vind dat
daar net papiere in die sak is, gaan hul terugna die kamertjie, maar dan het die sangomareeds lankal verdwyn met hul ‘egte’ kon-tant,” sê Nimb. En dit is het einde niet: Men-se wat op hul pensioengeld wag, word ookgeteiken. “Die bedriëers sal dan die persoonnader en geld in ’n kartondoos wys. Hulle saldan vra dat die person R5 000 kontant moetbring. Dié geld word dan ook tydens ’n ritu-eel van die slagoffer geroof,” sê Nimb.
Ou slenters kry elkeweek ander baadjieOu slenters kry elke week ’n ander baadjieén nuwe lewe in Bellville, blyk dit, soosskelms al meer geloofwaardig voorkom ter-wyl hulle naïewes van hul swaarverdiendegeld verlos.
Dié slenter, wat twee tot drie goedgekledemans behels wat hulself as polisiebeamptesvoordoen, speel homself af rondom automa-tiese tellermasjiene in die Bellville-midde-stad, vertel maj. Fienie Nimb, polisiewoord-voerder. Dit behels dat dié mans OTM-ge-bruikers fyn dophou en dan, sodra dié mensegeld getrek het, hulle agtervolg. “Die verdag-tes laat dan ’n rolletjie note voor die persoonval. Indien die persoon dit sou optel, sal hul-le die persoon nader en sê dat die geld be-trokke was by ’n roof en dat die persoon danmet hulle moet saamgaan,” sê Nimb.
“Hulle toon dan ook ’n “polisie-ID-kaart”– ’n gelamineerde kaartjie met die betrokkeverdagte se gesig daarop. Hulle deel dan diepersoon mee dat hulle haar vingerafdrukkemoet neem. Dan vat hulle die persoon na ’nplekkie toe om ‘vingerafdrukke’ te neem.Hulle versoek dan die persoon om alle per-soonlike besittings aan hulle te oorhandig,insluitende beursie en selfoon.”V Weet u van iemand wat só om die bos gelei is?Deel ons mee by [email protected].

Should nannies be swim smart?

MICHELLE LINNERT@linnertmb
With recent news reports of a hero dogsaving a nanny from drowning, theproverbial jury seems to be out on
whether being able to swim is a prerequisitewhen looking after the children of others.
Wellness coach and Welgemoed momFrancesca van der Werf is offering basicswimming training to carers. She has beenteaching swimming for over 20 years.
“I think a nanny should be able to swimin case of an emergency. If a child falls intoa pool, you don’t want to waste time withscreaming for help,” she says.“You want a nanny to ba able to jump in
and pull the child out – and do CPR if neces-sary. Of course a net comes first, but acci-dents happen.”TygerBurger subsequently spoke to sever-
al owners or managers of nanny and au pairservice agencies to determine how impor-tant this skill is when employing a childminder, especially in the northern suburbswhere many households have swimmingpools.
The answers were widespread.
Not deciding factorMedical doctor Bianca Steyn from the Sit-
ters 4U agency said they do ask in the inter-view whether or not the incumbent canswim and would feel comfortable saving adrowning child, but says it is not a decidingfactor.
“People are more concerned with the edu-cation and experience of a candidate thantheir ability to swim,” she says.“Obviously, for families with a pool or
those who enjoy the beach it can have im-pact, but I think there are only two to fiveout of 1 000 in Cape Town that can’t swim,so we haven’t really noticed an issue.”
Caron Adams from Au Pair at Home says
because most families in the more affluentsuburbs have swimming pools, they preferto send their children for swimming lessonsearly on, with a lot of the summertime spentin the water.She feels it is imperative that the caretak-
er be able to swim as well.“The au pair or childminder or nanny has
to supervise the children in the swimmingpool and needs to be able to swimher or him-self, in the event of a child being in difficultyin the swimming pool.”She adds this person should also be in pos-
session of a certificate for being able to doCPR.
Christine Rebe from Super Nannies saysfor her agency being able to swim is “inter-estingly enough” not a requirement for thejob.
“Drowning can occur where any waterfeature is concernedandchildren candrownin as much as half a cup of water.
“Parents are being made more aware ofthe importance of having pool nets and fen-ces in place by the time a baby can crawl.I do encourage parents to send their nanniesfor swimming lessons, but ... in all the timewe have been placing nannies – and that isfor the past seven years – I think I have onlyever had that requirement stipulated once,”
she says.“Being able to swimwould not aid in plac-
ing a nanny in a job over someone who can-not swim.The criteria aremore that thenan-ny has no criminal record, that she has rele-vant andup todateworkexperienceand thatshe has contactable references,” Christineadds.She says love for children should be para-
mount and “reliability, trustworthiness andwillingness to follow the mother’s way, aremore important in aiding a nanny in secur-ing a job”.
Some can swimVicky Weinberg from Super Sitters says
being able to swimhas also never been a pre-requisite for placement of a child minder.“However, when I am looking to place a
nanny or au pair with a client who has apool, or a holiday maker – we have a hugeUK client base coming to Cape Town in thesummer who hire houses with pools – I thenselect a childminderwho is a good swimmerand who can be in the pool with the chil-dren,” she says.
“There are some young women – of all ra-ces – on my books who can swim well. How-ever, most of these are white girls. I do nothave a large client base in the northern sub-urbs, but I (also) have a good few northernsuburbs girls registered on my books forbabysitting and or au pair work.”
Vicky says in her 28 years of running theagency, no one has ever pointedly asked fora person able to swim. She adds she will beadding this question to possible candidatesduring interviews.

TygerBear and the three TygersThe three “Tygers” –TygerBurger,Tygerberg 104fm and Tyger ValleyCentre – have joined hands onceagain tohost this year’sTygerRun,taking place on Saturday 27 Febru-ary.
All the proceeds of the 5km eventwill be donated to another “Tyger”,the TygerBear Foundation, so whynot enter the whole family and as-sist a worthy cause?
The TygerBear Foundation of-fers therapy, support and trainingto members of the community whohave experienced some form oftrauma (which include abuse, ne-glect, gang violence, illness andmalnutrition). “We receive ap-proximately 75% of the referrals inthe Western Cape and the amountof cases seen to date has tripled inthe last two years,” says a spokes-person of the foundation.
Organis-ers haveasked par-ticipants tobring along anew soft toy tothe race, whichwill be handed outto the young pa-tients gettingtreatment atTygerBear.

Die einde is nie in sig vir Wimpie Ac-kermann (48) nie met ’n rekord van24 agtereenvolgende Trans Agulhas-
uitdaagbootvaarte agter sy naam.Wimpie, van Bellville, het al 14 keer sy
klas gewen en slegs twee keer nie die podi-um gehaal nie.
Niemand anders het die afgelope 28 jaaraan soveel vaarte deelgeneem soos dié ge-soute jaer nie.
Dit lyk egter na ’n uitgemaakte saak dathy en sy spanmaat, Whitey Louw, in De-sember weer gaan deelneem.
Die Trans Agulhas vind elke jaar van 28Desember tot 1 Januarie plaas. Daar wordongeveer 700 km oor vyf dae afgelê.
“Dag een begin by Plettenbergbaai. Onsjaag dan 189 km en stop by nege strandewaar daar om ’n vlag gehardloop wordvoordat daar in Mosselbaai klaargemaakword.
“Dag twee is 86 km tot in Stilbaai. Dagdrie strek oor 161 km tot in Struisbaai. Dagvier is 111 km tot in Gansbaai en die vyfdedag nog vir oulaas 131 km tot in die Strand.
“Daar word op elke skof by verskillendestrande aangedoen en elke middag word ’nbranderkompetisie aangebied om die toe-skouers te vermaak en die borge ekstrablootstelling te gee.”
Wimpie se hoogtepunt tot dusver is toehy van sy 21ste Trans Agulhas die algehelewenner was en in baie slegte weersom-standighede eerste in die Strand aange-kom het.
Whitey se aandeel in die spanvertoningkan nie gering geskat word nie.
“Whitey het ’n baie groot aandeel in onssukses. Hy moet rondskuif in die boot wan-
neer daar saam of teen die wind gery worden met ondervinding weet hy presies waarom te sit, wat ’n invloed op die spoed kanhê.
“Verder moet hy by elke strand waaraangedoen word, om die vlag hardloop enwen hy 10 sekondes per stop as gevolg vansy spoed en ratsheid. Hy was op skool ’nhekkiesatleet en ’n gimnas wat hom baiehelp in ons sport,” sê Wimpie.
Maande se voorbereiding en beplanningword gedoen voor die uitmergelende uit-daging begin.
Dit is nie ’n kwessie van klim in die booten jaag nie. Daar word ure ingesit om dieboot meganies in topkondisie te kry. Fiks-heid speel ook ’n belangrike rol – iets wat
soms onderskat word.“Jy moet vir vyf dae kan konsentreer om
so hard as moontlik en foutloos te ry. Som-tyds moet daar vinnige besluite gemaakword om miskien vir ’n baie groot branderom te draai en dan help ondervinding baie.
“Die span op die water en die ondersteu-ningspan moet ’n goeie verhouding hê envir vyf dae eenhonderd persent gemoti-veerd bly,” verduidelik Wimpie.
Wimpie raai persone wat die sport wilbeoefen aan om eers aan te klop vir raadby bestaande deelnemers en om eers na ’ntweedehandse boot en enjin te kyk.
As die gogga behoorlik gebyt het, kandaar na nuwe toerusting gekyk word, isWimpie se wyse raad.

’n Merkwaardige kolfvertoning deur KeanuLeith van die Hoërskool De Kuilen het dieafgelope naweek opslae gemaak in die PeterButtner Sports-krieketliga vir o.19A-span-ne.
Met De Kuilen op ’n stotterende 60/7 in sywedstryd teen HS Durbanville, het Leith asnommer 9-kolwer ingestap en ’n blitsige 94*gemoker. Te danke aan sy span se uiteindeli-ke 171 lopies het hy gevolglik die aanvoor-werk gedoen vir die Kuile se sege met 62 lo-pies. Lenel van Niekerk (46) het die beste virDurbanville vertoon.
In HS Bellville (187) se oorwinning met 42lopies oor Milnerton was Ian Smit (5/19) enRinus Oosthuizen (48) die staatmakers, ter-wyl D.F. Malan se sege met 7 paaltjies oorEdgemead (118) grootliks bewerkstellig isdeur Christiaan Bassett (5/8), Jacques Kru-ger (49) en Marcel Krynauw (48).
In Goodwood was Fairbairn (118) se oor-winning met 12 lopies oor HS Tygerberg tedanke aan die boulwerk van Zain Ho-Kim(4/25) en Kyle Thyssen (4/36). Vir die Tierehet Chris September 4/23 platgetrek.
In ander o.19A-wedstryde was Chaz Wil-lemse (59*) die uitblinker in Stellenberg sesewepaaltjie-sege oor Bergvliet (119), terwylBrackenfell (73/0) weggehardloop het metBlue Bells-klub (69), danksy veral JuandréMouton (5/17) en Wikus Strydom (42*).
Op die Chesterhouse-veld kon Joshua Ap-pollis (4/39) nie verhoed dat sy span met 80lopies die knie moes buig voor WorcesterGimnasium (186) nie. Durbanville (t ElShaddai), Tygerberg (t Fairbairn) en HSBellville (t The Settlers) was die wenspannein Saterdag se o.19B-wedstryde.

Following the highly successfulinaugural Let’s Play schoolsphysical education challengeevent last year, involving403 000 pupils from 473 primaryschools, SuperSport relaunchedthe event on Monday.
The challenge is a nationwidefitness competition for Grade 4pupils.
The primary objective of thechallenge is to reinforce curric-ulum oriented physical educa-tion and to promote physical ac-tivity in all schools.
Let’s Play coaching teams willtarget various schools to run thechallenge. The fittest Grade 4pupils from each school willcompete against other schools,after which the top three schoolsin each province will qualify forthe provincial semi-final, lead-ing to an overall provincial win-ner.
The final will take place at theend of October.
The obstacle course challengeis designed for both boys andgirls and will be standardised atevery school. It includes a soc-cer slalom dribble, catch andthrow, mini hurdles, rope pulland an agility drill, all of whichare completed in a matter ofminutes.
While activity is the centralfocus of the challenge, it will al-so draw attention to the socialissue of bullying. UFC athleteand Let’s Play ambassador Gar-reth “Soldierboy” McLellan, aswell as other sports personali-ties, will make appearances atschools to address the issue.
“We believe that this is ameaningful way to get schoolsinvolved in physical activity,particularly as government hashighlighted the need for chil-dren to become more active,”says Vaughn Bishop, head ofLet’s Play. “Kids need not be su-perstars; the challenge is de-signed to accommodate every-one at primary school level.”
The fittest primary school ineach province will compete forthe national title and the prizeof a R1.3m all-purpose, all-weather multi-use sport court tobe built at the winning school.
“Congratulations to River-view Primary School for win-ning the 2015 overall competi-tion.
“Being able to participate insport, provide sustainable pro-grams in our schools and nur-turing young talent is key to thefuture of South African sport inour country. We are proud tocontinue supporting this pro-gram by sponsoring yet anothersport court for the 2016 competi-tion, and enhancing educationthrough sport,” says Anita Ma-thews, executive director of TheSports Trust. The Let’s Playphysical education challenge isendorsed by the department ofbasic education, the departmentof sport and recreation, theSports Trust, the Physical Edu-cation Institute of SA, Unicefand MultiChoice.V Enter your school by calling011 849 7411 or 079 529 8862 (allhours) or emailing [email protected].

While the opening rounds of the For-mula Junior Diamond JubileeWorld Tour should be among the
highlights of the international Passion forSpeedmeeting at Killarney on Saturday, anequally high standard is expected from thehost of other races on the programme.Among the best of them could be the His-
toric events for pre ’66 Production Cars andLittle Giants.This one is actually loadedwithbig giants
headed bySarel vanderMerwe inhis 7-litreFord Galaxie, who is going to be mixing itwith the similarGalaxies of Ferdi vanNiek-erk Jr and top Dutch driver Michael Cam-pagne.Chevrolet will be represented by Gaut-
eng’s Mark and Jonathan du Toit in theirBel Air and Nova V8s, and Jacques Moutonhas entered his deceptively quick 5.8-litreStudebaker Silver Hawk.A 5.7-litre FordFairlane is beingurged on
byMarkUytenbogaardtwhile Ferdi vanNi-ekerk Sr’s Porsche 356 is the smallest caron the entry list.Theheavymetal is going to feature in oth-
er categories as well, notably those for His-toric LeMans /Sebring Sports and GT cars.Here, two of the magnificent Lola T70 V8sports racing cars that used to thrill Killar-ney crowds in days gone by, will be seen inthe hands of Mark Lauth andMark du Toit.Fans of American V8s can look forward
to evenmore of their favourite motive pow-
er in the pre ’77 Classic and Invitationevents where the bubbly Robbi Smith, whois still one of South Africa’s greatest stuntdrivers, should be near the front in his re-built Capri V8.The modern era is being represented by
the high speed Extreme Supercars. In thisone the fastest Capetonians include CraigJarvis in his brutal 8.4-litre V10 Dodge Vi-per, Paul Beachy Head’s magnificent R8Audi and Junais Slamang (BMWE46).

Itshould be a close one.While the Formula Junior cars do not
have the power or the roadholding of theirmore sophisticated Formula 1 counter-parts, their hard driving and close racingduring their only other visit to the Cape in2008 thrilled the crowd.
