REFEREEKNIFEDONBADENPOWELLAFTER STORMERSMATCH

Stabbed inHell RunzoneDELIAH BRINKHUIS

Well-known rugby referee ShaunVeldsman became the latest vic-tim of crime in the N2 precinctwhen he was attacked on theBaden Powell turn-off on Satur-day night.

Veldsman was returning home toRobertson after officiating in thematch between the Stormers and theBlues at Newlands Stadium.

Theattackoccurredjustafter21:00.Veldsman says it happened very

quickly.“Istoppedattheintersectionand was about to turn towards Stel-lenbosch when my window wassmashed. Two or three men were at

my window,” Veldsman recalls.“Iscreamedandjumpedovertothe

passenger’s side to get out,” he says.One of his attackers lunged at him

with a sharp object, stabbing him inthe back.

Veldsmanonlyrealisedthathehadbeenstabbedoncehestartedrunningaway from his attackers.

He tried flagging motorists down,but was unsuccessful.

“No-one stops at that hour,” hesays.

Mercifully, he came across a manwhowaswalking along the roadwhowas prepared to accompany him tohisbakkie.Veldsmansaysinhistrau-matised state he omitted to ask theman who he was.

He found his Isuzubakkie deserted. Thekeys had been removedfromtheignitionandhiscellphone, which hadbeen on the dashboard,was missing.

He was eager to getaway from the scene incase his attackers werelurking in the dark.They had tried to breakthe ignitionand take thesteering wheel off, butthey were unable tostart the bakkie.

A few minutes later a tow-truckdrove past and Veldsman flagged itdown. He was then admitted to the

ICU of Mediclinic Stel-lenbosch,andwastrans-ferred to a general wardon Sunday.

On Wednesday,Veldsman was positiveabout his recovery, say-ing that he was doingwellandthathehopedtobedischargedbytheendof the week.

His attack comes justover a month after Ma-cassar resident JuliusJantjies (27)was severe-ly injured when part of

a cement block was hurled throughhis windscreen on the N2. The inci-denthappenedat13:00onWednesday

Hell Run:meeting scheduledDELIAH BRINKHUIS ANDDALEEN FOUCHÉ

The City of Cape Town this weekemphasised the importance ofworkingwithallrelevantauthor-ities if the scourge of attacksalong theN2andrelated routes isto be addressed.

This is in light of the most recentattack, which occurred when well-known rugby referee Shaun Velds-man was stabbed on the Baden Pow-ell off-ramp on Saturday night at21:00 (story on page 1).

The DistrictMail has written ex-tensively about the often brutally vi-olent attacks along the N2 betweenMacassar and the R300 and as far asVanguard Drive.

The City confirmed to theDistrict-Mail that this matter will be placedon the agenda of the monthly joint

meeting between the relevant stake-holders on 12 March. The meeting isconvened by the police and involvesvarious stakeholders in the safetyand security cluster.

JP Smith, Mayoral Committeemember for Safety and Security,says although much has been doneto prevent further attacks on the N2and surrounding areas, it is essen-tialthatthepolicecoordinatetherel-evant stakeholders in response tothe dangerous situation.

Lieutenant-Colonel André Traut,spokesperson for the provincial po-lice, did not comment on this state-ment before going to print, but em-phasised the fact that the route is be-ing policed. “It is imperative tomention that the entire route is wellpoliced by the Western Cape FlyingSquad assisted by patrols from thelocal police stations and other lawenforcement agencies.”

Traut says that during these pa-trols, specific consideration is givento certain hot spots, but still insiststhat travelling on the N2 “is no dif-ferent” to travelling on any otherroad.

Smith says the Metro Police regu-larly patrol the N2 and have hadsome success with protecting roadusers.

“The City’s freeway managementsystem CCTV camera team has beenrequested to alert the City’s opera-tional staff about any suspicious ac-tivity they may see when monitor-ing the cameras, but Smith says thisis made difficult by the sheer num-berofpedestrianscrossingtheN2ona daily basis.”

Metro Police have also used wom-an officers as “bait” while pretend-ing to be victims stranded on the N2,but this has not met with much suc-cess. Smith says the city is negotiat-

ing with a privateinsurance compa-ny to roll out a“highway unit”that will only pa-trol these free-ways and help im-prove safety alongthe N2, R300 andBaden Powell Road, as well as theN1.

The City is also finalising anagreement with the airport whichwill see it roll out law enforcementauxiliary members paid for by theAirports Company of South Africa(ACSA). “They will patrol along theN2 in uniform with all the powersof our law enforcement depart-ment.”

Vusi Mona, general manager ofcommunications at the South Afri-can Roads Agency Limited (Sanral),says the agency, together with law

enforcementand the City ofCape Town, hasa number ofmeasures inplace to sup-port crimefighting in this

area.These measures include the re-

pair of fencing along this route aswell as improving lighting that ena-bles cameras to film during thenight. “The fight against crime is anon-going one. We will continue tosupport law enforcement in theirfight against crime to the best ourability and means.”

Siphesihle Dube, spokespersonfor the provincial minister of Trans-port and Public Works, DonaldGrant, also confirmed that provin-cial traffic authorities have in-creased patrols on the N2.

Policemankilledbysuspect inSLPDELIAH BRINKHUIS

ThebrutalmurderofaSomersetWestpo-liceman on Tuesday has sent shockwaves through the Helderberg commu-nity.

Constable Lukhanyo Mtshokotsho (28)died in a shooting while on duty in Sir Low-ry’s Pass. Another policeman was woundedin the shooting.

The suspect was killed in a shoot-out thatfollowed after back-up was called in.

Western Cape Minister of Community,Dan Plato condemned the killing of the po-licemen. “The death of the perpetratorservesas little justice tothosegrievingacon-stable who risked his life on a daily basis,in an area known as dangerous among po-lice. It is clear that more needs to be doneto protect our brave men and women inblue,” he said.

According to Sergeant Suzan Jantjies,spokesperson for the Somerset West Police,Mtshokotsho and a colleague, Sergeant Li-onel Langford from the Crime PreventionUnit, were conducting a crime preventionoperation in the Tredonne and High Ridingarea at about 16:00 when the shooting inci-dent occurred.

“They approached a suspect whom theywanted to arrest,” says Jantjies.

A struggle ensued between the police andthe man, and he allegedly took Langford’sgun and shot him before fleeing into thedense, bushy area above the railway line.

Mtshokotsho followed the suspect into thebushes while calling for back-up. Jantjiessaid a shoot-out between the two followed,during which Mtshokotsho was fatallywounded.

The police’s Tactical Response Team re-sponded to the call for help. “During furthergunfire, the unknown suspect was shot andkilled,” says Jantjies.

She says the gun was found on the sceneand that Langford, who was admitted to theMediclinic Vergelegen, was recoveringwell. She was, however, unable to say whatthe extent of his injuries are.

Jantjies says the circumstances sur-rounding the shooting are being investigat-ed.

Plato asked the community to step in tohelp combat the killing of police membersby sending suggestions to his office to [email protected].“We need a whole-of-societyapproachinordertodoawaywiththe notion that criminals can dare attackor kill a police officer,” he said.

A former police constable and his co-accusedwere each sentenced to 30 years’ imprison-ment in the Somerset West Regional Courton 30 January.

The case relates to a house robbery on 6November 2009 when a former policeman,Unathi Ngewu, and his two accomplices, To-bela Lawrence Rasmeni and Xolani Takayi,robbed an elderly Somerset West couple.

Ngewu produced a police identity card togain entrance to the house.

Once inside the house, one of the menpulled out a gun and tied the couple up. Theythenproceededto robthemofanundisclosedamount of cash and a gold chain valued atR3 000.

Colonel Mary-Ann Williams, station com-mander for the Somerset West Police, wel-comed the sentence and said she hoped thatthe tough sentence will deter members of thepolice from committing crime.

Williams also congratulated the investi-gating officer, Detective Warrant OfficerHannes Niemand, who had brought Ngewu,TakayiandRasmenitobook, forhisexcellentinvestigation that led to the sentencing of thethree men.

Missingpensioner found in carDALEEN FOUCHÉ

“What took you so long?”

This was the question a “spirited” KeithBird (74) asked when friends found him in theSteenbras Nature Reserve after he had beenmissing for nearly three days.

Bird was in high spiritswhen his rescuers found himin his small car, about 29 kmfrom the entrance, on Mon-day afternoon.

Carl Bird, Keith’s son, sayshis dad was on his way to awedding on Saturday andplanned to surprise a friendwholivesintheSteenbrasNa-ture Reserve and take himalong to the wedding.

But when Carl queried thegroom about his dad the nextevening, the groom reportedthat Keith had not shown upfor the wedding.

Carl says the wedding wasa sleep-over affair and that hetherefore only expected hisdad back on Sunday after-noon.

The family immediately phoned the policeto file a missing person’s report and a massivesearch was launched in the reserve.

Wilderness Search and Rescue along withfriends, family and Keith’s fellow members ofthe Rude Motorcycle Club (MCC) jumped intoaction.

Carl says the extraordinary effort to searchevery single road in the reserve continued un-til 04:00 on Monday morning. After finding nosign of Keith, the search party regrouped earlyon Monday morning to continue the search.

A family friend even launched his plane tofly in search of Keith and family membersdrove to Grabouw and Rooi Els, with no luck.

Carl says they concluded that Keith had tobe in the reserve, because security confirmedthat he had entered the reserve and not left.He speculated that if he had been outside thereserve or even hijacked, he would have beenfound by then.

Carl says at that stage almost every road inthe reserve had been explored, except the roadthey deemed undriveable in Keith’s small se-

dan car, because even the 4x4swere struggling to get through.Neil Swanepoel (the groom atthe wedding where Keith washeaded) and Willie Morries,however, decided to venturefurtheronto thisroad,“...other-wise we would blame ourselvesfor not doing so,” explainedMorries.

As the two ventured furtherontheroadtheirhopeoffindingKeith diminished as the goingworsened. But to their surpriseand great relief, they foundKeith’s car, with him inside, al-most 9 km from the lookoutpoint where the previoussearch on this road had beenabandoned.

Morries says Keith’s car hadslipped off the road while taking on a steep hilland landed in a ditch with its wheels off theroad,whichpreventedhimfromgoingfurther.The road also did not allow the car to turnaround, as it was very narrow and borderingon steep cliffs.

Keith apparently ventured out of his car onSunday evening when he spotted some lightsbut fell in the dark and decided it was best towait in the car. Carl says his dad, a diabetic,did have his insulin with him, but could notuse it, as he had no food with him and had noteaten.

Morries says Keith did have some red winewith him for the wedding, which he rationedto last him through the ordeal.

Keith was taken to Mediclinic Vergelegenfor observation and is expected to be releasedat the end the week.

The Bird family expressed their deepest ap-preciation to all involved in the search.

ElodiBird,Keith’sdaughter-in-law,mannedthe “social media and communications” dur-ing the search and says they received supportfrom as far as Australia.

The photo of Keith Bird thatwas circulated on socialmedia sites after he wentmissing.

Neil Swanepoel and Willie Morries build alittle monument where Bird’s car had left theroad, to celebrate his return.

Skoolhartseerooronderwyser sedoodDELIAH BRINKHUIS

Die skielike dood van ’n gr. 5-onderwy-ser aan die Temperance Town PrimêreSkool het leerders en onderwysers metskok en groot hartseer gelaat.

Quwin Marthinus (25) se lyk is Dinsdagdeur polisieduikers by die Mnandi-strand,naby Mitchell’s Plain gekry.

Volgens die Gordonsbaai-polisie is Mar-thinus na bewering Sondagoggend om-streeks 00:20 laas by sy woonadres in Strandopgemerk. ’n Verbyganger het later die og-gend Marthinus se ligblou Polo Playa by dieVyf-huise uitkykpunt op die R44-kusweg inGordonsbaai opgemerk en die polisie in ken-

nis gestel.’n Soektog wat ’n polisie-helikopter, die

honde-eenheid en duikers ingesluit het, isonmiddellik van stapel gestuur. Teen Maan-dagaand het die soektog egter niks opgele-wer nie, en dis eers nadat die duikers op ’noproep reageer het van ’n lyk wat om 11:00by Mnandi-strand uitgespoel het, dat daarlater ontdek is dat dit dié van Marthinuswas.

Suzette Engelbrecht, ’n kollega van Mar-thinus, beskryf hom as ’n vriendelike menswat altyd ander mense goed laat voel het,en sê dat sy sterfte ’n groot leemte by dieskool laat.

Sy pa, Charles Marthinus van Caledon,onthou sy seun as “’n mense-mens wat mak-

lik in ’n ander se hart gekruip het”.“Hy’t mooi gekyk na ons, sy ouers en sy

broer, en het ’n passie vir skoolhou gehad,”vertel Marthinus.

Volgens Marthinus het Quwin in die on-langse Desember-vakansie reeds sy beplan-ning vir die skooljaar tot in April voltooi.

“Quwin het altyd uit sy pad gegaan vir symedemens,” vertel Marthinus en voeg bydat hy gereeld ou klere bymekaar gemaakhet om vir die kinders by die skool te gee.

Die polisie het ’n nadoodse ondersoek vanstapel gestuur. ’n Gedenkdiens word vandag(Donderdag) om 10:00 by die skool gehou.Quwin se begrafnisdiens sal Saterdag 7Maart om 10:00 vanuit die Nuwe Apostoliesekerk in Caledon plaasvind. Quwin Marthinus

name reuk by die mangat by haarsalon. Donderdagmiddag het diemangat begin oorborrel en hoewel’n verteenwoordiger van die StadKaapstad teen Donderdagaand op-gedaag het, is niks gedoen om dieprobleem aan te spreek nie.Met DistriksPos se besoek Vry-

dagoggend, was daar steeds geen te-ken van die munisipaliteit nie.Rosemary het toe die burgemees-terskantoor gebel en daarop aange-dring dat die Stad die probleem aan-spreek. ’n Halfuur later het ’nmuni-sipale trok opgedaag en die pypebegin leeg pomp.Burgemeesterskomiteelid vir

nutsdienste, raadslid Ernest Son-nenberg, sê ’n blokkasie in die pypehet die rioolstorting veroorsaak.Die inbelsentrum het om 20:43 op

Donderdagaand die eerste klagteontvang en volgens Sonnenbergword alle klagtes dan na die gepasteafdeling verwys.Hy sê die Stad Kaapstad moet

daagliks meer as 250 rioolpype leegpomp en hoewel die Stad simpatiehet met inwoners oor die negatiewegevolge van ’n rioolstorting, worddit nie as ’n noodgeval gereken nie.

“Ons doen steeds ons bes om so vin-nig as moontlik die probleme aan tespreek.”Volgens Sonnenberg is ontstaan

’n groot aantal blokkasies in riool-pype omdat die rioolstelsel mis-bruik word.“Inwoners moet hulle daarvan

weerhou om enigiets wat moontlikblokkasies kan veroorsaak in diedreine af te gooi.”Sonnenberg sê daar is nie ’n spesi-

fieke instandhoudingsplan nodigvir die rioolstelsel nie, omdat dieblokkasies veroorsaak word deuronvanpaste voorwerpe wat in diestelsel beland.Diemoontlikheidomdie stelsel op

te gradeer word tans ondersoek.

Guy Hogg van die Strand wys waarhy ’n walletjie gebou het om te keerdat riool in sy huis inloop.

lope twee weke berig diespringgety het ’n rioolpyp byMelkbaai beskadig. Die StadKaapstad het die pyp afgesnyen gelas, maar dit is wéér deurdie hooggety beskadig en toeweer reggemaak.Saterdag het dieselfde stel-

sel probleme gegee, maar diékeer was dit die pomp wat niewou saamwerk nie.

Raadslid Ernest Sonnen-berg, burgemeesterskomitee-lid vir nutsdienste, sê die pro-bleem is om 08:30 aangemelden die pomp is teen 13:30 ver-vang.Trokkewat riool uitpomp, is

intussen ingeroep om dierioolstorting te minimaliseertotdat die pomp vervang is.In Kusweg het een van die

mangate ook begin oorloop.Sonnenberg sê dié rioolstor-

ting is veroorsaak deur ’n volrioolstelsel nadat die pomp ge-breek het.

Rowers takel fietsryerTAMSYN JANTJIES

’n Strand-fietsryer is vroeër vandees-maand deur twee gewapendemans van sysplinternuwe fiets beroof.

Johan de Beer vertel dat hy oudergewoonteSondag 15 Februarie om 05:30 die pad vanStrand na Gordonsbaai aangepak het. “Ek hetlinks by die verkeersligte aan die einde vanGreenways in Eerstestraat gedraai,” sê hy.

Verder in die straat het hy twee mense ge-waar. “Skielik was twee mans by my. Een vandiemanshet ’nvuurwapeninmygesiggedruken my aangesê om van my fiets af te klim.”

Ná ’n onderonsie het hy glo op die grond be-

land en sy bes gedoen om aan sy fiets, wat hyonlangs teen R7 500 gekoop het, te klou.

“Een van die rowers het gesukkel om diefiets van my af te rokkel, terwyl die ander dievuurwapen in my sy gedruk het,” vertel DeBeer.

Een rower het vermoedelik aan die andergesê om De Beer te skiet; dis toe dat hy besluithet om die fiets te los.

“Dit was seker die langste paar minute inmy lewe.”

Strand-polisiewoordvoerder konst. Mbule-lo Mafuna sê die fiets is nog nie gevind nie enniemandisinhegtenisgeneemnie.Mensemetinligting kan speursers. Bradley Fredericksby 021 854 9100 bel.

‘Disabledbeggar’ hassights set onEuropean tourDALEEN FOUCHÉ

The beggar who recently madewaves insocialmedia for pretend-ing to be disabled has big plans togotoEuropeandearneurosforhisact.

David Dyarithi (26) made head-lines in theDistrictMail lastweekaft-er a video surfaced of him warmingup before acting disabled and beg-ging for money on the corner of theN2 and Victoria Road.Headmitted to theDistrictMail last

week that he is not disabled but onlyacts it to get an income. He said thathe even wears DA-branded clothing,includinga jacketwith “DAno.1 sup-porter” on the back, because he be-lieves it will resonate with the aver-age motorist who passes him.This week we asked him how last

week’s article had affected his “busi-ness”.He said that he had a good week,

pocketing R3 500 – proof to him thatpeople like his “act” and are willingto pay for it. “People like me; someshake my hand.”He says the article has in no way

had a negative effect on “business”.

People can now understand that heuses themoneyhemakes to supporthis wife and young child, he be-lieves.Dyarithi says a few motorists

commented about his admissionthat he owns a Corsa bakkie.Dyarithihas twocopiesof theDis-

trictMail in which he is featuredand plans on framing the article.“My wife was very proud of me.”While he says with some disap-

pointment that he has not yet hadany solid offers of an acting job, helooks forward to a bright future. Hedreams of going to Europe and Aus-tralia to “perform”his act there andearn euros.“My brother, who is also doing

the disabled act at theN2 andVicto-riaRoad intersection,will continuemy legacy here and teach others.”Dyarithi says he sees his act as

an honest way of making a living,because at the end of the act, he al-ways makes sure to walk normallyso that people can see it is an act.“It is much better than pretendingto be sick and trying to fool peoplefor real.”

Strand-horlosiesteedsbuitewerkingDie horlosie opdie Strand-see-front is steedsbuite werking na-dat die ikoniesebaken reeds inApril verlede jaargeskend is.

Die DistriksPoshet verlede jaar be-rig dat die horlosietelkemale geskendis.

Belinda Walker,burgemeestersko-miteelid vir ge-meenskapsdiensteen spesiale projek-te in die Stad Kaap-stad, sê diehorlosieis in Desember 2013 reggemaak, maaronderdele – wat uit Europa bestel word– is weer in April gesteel.

Nadat die horlosie ’n tweede keer reg-gemaak is, is die horlosie weer vernielen dié keer is die battery gesteel en die

horlosiegesig be-skadig.

Walker sê dieStad, in same-werking met dieStrand Rotari-ers, het onder-neem om die hor-losie reg temaak.

Sy sê daar isnog nie spertyevir die projek be-skikbaarnie, om-dat die Stad nogkwotasies vir diewerk bymekaar-maak.Hoewel sommi-

ge onderdele soosdie glas-staal-pa-nele wel plaaslik

bestel kan word, moet ander weer inge-voer word.

“Die Stad veroordeel die vandalismeten sterkste omdat dié horlosie ’n waar-devolle en mooi baken is wat beskermmoet word.”

Die horlosie op die Strand-seefront is se-dert April verlede jaar buite werking.

Mosselbaai-munisipaliteit stel die voorbeeldvir StrandEk was vir ’n paar dae met va-kansie in Mosselbaai en Harten-bos, en ekwasaangenaamverrasoor die skoon en netjiese toe-stand waarin Mosselbaai-muni-sipaliteit die strate, sypaadjiesen omgewing hou en versorg.Dit was ’n plesier om daar te

oornag, rond te ry, oral te stapen die dorp, die omgewing, sowelas Diasstrand en Hartenbos-

strand te geniet.Oor so ’n skoon en netjiese

dorp kan Strand-munisipaliteitmaar net droom, want ek glo niehulle is enigsins in staat om dieStrand se strate, sypaadjies,pleine, besigheidsgebied en dieres van die dorp ooit in so ’nskoon en netjiese toestand te kryen te hou nie.Ek wil voorstel dat Strand se

stadsvaders ’n besoek bring aanMosselbaai sodat hulle self kansien wat gedoen kanword en hoeskoon ennetjies ’n vakansiedorpbehoort te lyk.Miskien is daar iemand by

Mosselbaai-munisipaliteit wathulle kan vertel hoe dit gedoenmoet word.

Plumbing,wiringandbug inspections –you’reonyourownI wanted to sell my elderly flat inSomerset West and was told that Ineededawiring, plumbingandbee-tle certificate before the propertycould be transferred.This process had some unusual

aspects, which I think are worthsharing.The first problem was to find an

official inspector who, of course, isthe only one whomay issue a validlicence. Enquiries among otherproperty owners suggested thatthere was really only one and “weall use them”.I tried the first choice, who duly

inspected the property andpresent-ed a quote with numerous “illegal”

items, ranging from dripping tapsto lethal circuit breakers.The total for fixingall these items

wasexorbitant so I thought I shouldtryanotheroutfit,whoalsopresent-ed a quote.Curiously, the second quote was

foralmostexactlythesameamount,while their list of non-compliant ar-ticles was in somematerial aspectscompletely different to the first.This raises some questions. Why

do companies certified to do thework not agree on what is needed?Who lays down the standards for

these things? Why should a geyser,newly installed two years ago, sud-denly be deemed illegal?

I decided tomake some enquiriesabout the system and the matter ofsupervising these companies.Officials at the Somerset West

municipality rather regretfully in-formedmethattherewasnocontrolover what they did, apart from therather theoretical licensing powerof the labour department.The municipal monitoring func-

tionhadbeen removed in 1992, theysaid.“You’re on your own,” they said.I was running out of time and

money, so I just bit the bullet andgave the first outfit the go-ahead.

ROAD USEREMAIL

This shouldbethe last strawNews of a plannedmeeting of autho-rities tasked with maintaining safe-ty and security along the notoriousHell Run zone will be welcomed bymotorists and other road users.This meeting of stakeholders is

long overdue.The past two months have seen

DistrictMail report on two horrificattacksontheroadnetworkbetweenthe Helderberg Basin and CapeTown.Last month, Macassar resident

Julius Jantjies was admitted to theICU after he sustained severe headtrauma when the vehicle he wastravelling in was stoned in broaddaylight.The attack on International Rug-

byBoardrefereeShaunVeldsmanatthe Baden Powell turn-off at 21:00 onSaturday should be the last straw.Both victims are in a stable condi-

tion, but fears of falling prey to thenext attack torment many a motor-ist.It is time for authorities to set

their differences aside. They need toforget about the politics and the bu-reaucracy of which stakeholder is –on paper – responsible for policingwhich part of the road.Thesafetyofpeople ismoreimpor-

tant than the pointing of fingers atother stakeholders.A workable solution is needed to

ensure road users’ safety. It’s timeto knuckle down, put heads togetherand start solving this ongoing prob-lem.

Traffic snarl-ups in Somerset West and Strand are raising the ire of locals, who are begging to know why traffic officers are not more con-sistently deployed to troublesome intersections. DistrictMail has posed this question to the City of Cape Town and will be reporting on thematter in next week’s edition.

INSPIRATION: LOCAL LIVES BEYOND HIS LIMITS

Donovan looks to thebright sideMARK STUART

When Donovan Tose was 11 years old, hesuddenly found himself struggling to readthe tagson theChristmaspresents.Hereal-ised something was seriously wrong withhis eyesight.

He tried to hide this from his family, but afamily member saw him trying to read the TVguide while holding it centi-metres from his eyes.An opthalmologist in Cape

Town diagnosed Donovanwith Leber’s hereditary opticneuropathy (LHON).In layman’s terms, the 33-

year-oldexplains, thisisanin-flammationof theopticnerve,whichrestrictsthebloodflow-ing through it.“My central vision is very

blurred, butmyperipheral vi-sionisbetter– it’s like lookingthrough a kaleidoscope, with10% vision,” he says.“Before I contracted thedis-

ease, I played provincial base-

ball and squash, and enjoyed reading, so it wasdifficult to realise I could no longer do any ofthese things. But I continued surfing with mydad, playing roller hockey and rugby.”Schoolwork was a challenge, but his friends

read the work to him, while his mom recordedbooks on tapes.Teachers at Beaumont Primarywere helpful

and supportive, especially his class teacherGordon Reddell – now the school’s principal.

“Les Kets was my rugbycoach and also very good tome. We played rugby inbrown and yellow jerseys,and I remember playingagainst Somerset House – inbottle green and yellow jer-seys – on a wet and muddyfield,” Donovan recalls.“Asaresultof themud,bits

of yellow in both teams’ jer-seys and my poor eyesight, Itackled someofmyownplay-ers – it was very funny.”Despite his poor vision, he

completed primary school atBeaumont, passing with fly-ing colours. He attended Pio-

neer High inWorcester, a predomi-nantlyAfrikaansschoolforvisuallyimpaired and blind students, as aboarder, which he found difficult.But he adjusted well and passed

high school with distinctions, waselected to the student council andachieved Boland colours for athlet-ics.“IheldtheSArecordfor the100m

sprintandrepresented theSAphys-ically handicapped team at the AllAfrica Games, where I did quite well. The SAteamwantedme to attend theParalympics, butI decided not to, to concentrate on my music.”Donovan’s face lights upwhen he starts talk-

ing about his music – his passion in life.He started playing drums at the age of 13 and

switched to bass guitar after taking lessonswhen he was 16 from Somerset West musicteacher Ray Holroyd.Athighschoolhe startedabandcalledFudge

withtwootherboys–oneblindandonevisuallyimpaired – playing new metal music at a localWorcester venue.The band released two albums and some of

their songs were played on 5FM and CampusRadio. After school he stayed on in Worcester

to study business entrepreneurship and mar-keting.“But the real reason I stayedwas to playmu-

sic in the band.”Donovanwas soonemployedat 1stGraphics,

which became Antilas four years later. Whilehereheboughtacarandemployedhisowndriv-er. He recently joined Ricoh, selling high vol-ume digital presses.During this period he started playing music

with drummer Stef Nortje, whose band mem-bers had left for London.Oncetheyreturned,Donovanjoinedtheband

Deaf Division.In 2004, the band renamed themselves Mind

Assaultandhavebeengoingstrongsince,head-lining at the RamFest in Johannesburg andWorcester for a number of years, aswell as Op-pikoppie. They have toured nationally and re-leased three albums.“Thehighlight ofmymusic careerwaswhen

wewere thesupportingact forAmericanheavymetal band Lamb of God during their tour ofSouth Africa last year,” Donovan says.“Wemet them,whichwas very cool and they

watched us play. They said they enjoyed ourmusic.”Donovanuseshis iPhone to sendSMSes, sees

what’s new on Facebook and sends emails byusing accessibility software that reads backmessages.He says everyday things such as not having

his independenceorrecognisingpeopleremaina constant struggle.However,Donovan,often the lifeof theparty,

lives a full and busy life, and does not let hisdisability get him down. He enjoys sailing, so-cialising, good food, wine, music and body-weight training. He has completed a seven-daykayak trip inGreece, been to internationalmu-sic festivals, and MCs social events.“Dealing with my disability, I realised there

is always someone worse off than me. A quotewhich has helped me cope is: ‘I complainedaboutmyshoesuntil Imetamanwithno legs’.”

Transformingyourkitchen intoa chic environmentHavinganewkitchen in-stalled as part of yourhomerenovationprojectcanbeoneof themost re-warding experiences forany homeowner.

The look and feel of yourkitchen sets the tone or en-hances the overall designand character of yourhome.

Thekitchenis,therefore,the essential starting pointwhen considering a com-plete interior overhaul.

Withtheextensiverangeandvarietyofproductsanddesigns available on themarket, kitchen remodel-ling is becoming increasingly popu-lar, and more affordable.

“New kitchen installations cur-rentlycomprisesome40%ofourbusi-ness,” says Carol Theron, generalmanager at The Kitchen & CupboardFactory.

“With today’s economic pressures,more and more homeowners opt forhome renovations to maximise thevalue of their properties. Even theslightest change to the current layoutand look and feel of your kitchen canadd greater functionality, and a freshand sleek new dimension to your liv-ing space,” she says.

Budget remains themost importantconsideration when planning a newkitchen. “If we have a clear under-standing of clients’ space require-mentsandbudgetconstraintsfromtheonset, it is much easier to optimiseboth. Moreover, we eliminate timewasted on proposed designs and solu-tions that are out of sync with our cli-ents’ needs,” Theron says.

“With the myriad of kitchen designsolutions and products on themarket,it is possible to create a dreamkitchento suit any space and any budget.”

You can achieve the look you wantbycombiningmoreaffordablekitchen

designs and finish with atop-endworksurfaces, suchas engineered stone. Or optfor amore expensive finish,but with cheaper work sur-faces and standard fittings.

If yourbudget doesnot al-low for a complete overhaulinonego, planyourkitchenremodelling project in sta-ges.

Theron cautions againstoneof themostcommonpit-falls when planning yournew kitchen. “It is rarelypossible to create a stylishnew look for your kitchenby only replacing existingdoors and handles,” shesays.

Your “new” kitchenwill be left withall theexistingexposedsides,cornices,light shields andkicker plates – designelements that need towork together tocreate a sleek new look.

This isalsoperceivedtobeacheaperalternative than having the entirekitchen replaced. “Kitchen doors areoften themost expensive component –make sure that it is money well spentand don’t skimp on smaller yet essen-tial parts of your project.”

Having the heart of your hometugged out and replaced can causema-jor disruption, but if the project iswellplanned and executed, the chaos can

be turned into a rewardingproject.

The key to the success of yourproject is having the right part-ner to guide you through the en-tire renovation process. “Theteam at the Kitchen & CupboardFactory ensures that our clients

are fully informed on all the compo-nentsthatconstituteakitchenmake-over,” Theron says.

“It is important to bear in mindthat your project will require inputand assistance from other contrac-tors to take care of plumbing, elec-tricity, painting and tiling.”

With the proper consultations, you can transform yourkitchen into a chic and elegant space.

RubbleneednotbeaheavyburdenMARK STUART

Howmany timeshaveyou seenahugepileof building rubble laying on someone'spavement or in their garden for monthson end?

This is often as a result of property ownersnot confirmingwith their builder that hewillremove the rubble from the premises aftercompletion of the job.There could also be the scenario that the

builder promises to come and collect the rub-ble, but never arrives to do so.Endless telephone calls to the builder re-

main unanswered and the property ownermust then makes plans to have the rubble re-moved at his/her own expense.Some property owners believe that moving

the rubble themselves is cheaper than askingthe builder to do so.This is also because property owners be-

lieve that asking the builder to remove therubble is an unnecessary expense on an al-ready expensive building project.However, speaking from personal experi-

ence, removing one’s own building rubblewitha small bakkie isnotnecessarily cheaperand definitely not easy.I completely underestimated the size of the

load – what I thought would be two or threequick trips to the dump, turned out to be sixfully loaded trips to the dump and back – a25km round trip.I later estimated that the cost of additional

labour,petrolandwearandtearonmyvehiclewas just not worth it.So the bottom line is to ask the builder to

include the removal of rubble in his price –it just makes life so much easier.

when visiting the funeral parlour:) A copy of the deceased’s identity docu-

ment;) Next of kin’s identity document;) The funeral policy – if there is one;) Marriage certificate as required by in-

surance companies if there is a policy;) Aphoto of the deceased for hymn sheets;

and) Clothes for the deceased to be dressed

inUndertakers usually handle the following

matters:) Obtaining the death notice from the

medical attendants;) Registering the death to Home Affairs

and collecting the death certificate;) Supplying you with the original and the

necessary certified copies of these forms forestate purposes;

) Organising death notices in newspa-pers;

) Offer a selection of coffins to choosefrom;

) Preparing and dressing the deceased forviewing, burial or cremation;

) Cemetery or crematoriumbookings andarrangements;

) Transport of deceased;) Embalming of the deceased for repatria-

tion – if needed; and) Repatriation of deceased across borders

Finally Kyle Banks reduced the deficit to 2-1with an opportunistic finish from close range.But the goal came too late and the score re-mainedunchangedwhenthefinalwhistleblew.

Vernon’s selection to the Judo South Af-rican team to compete in Swaziland on 28and 29 March has not come easy – he hasworkedextremelyhardandsacrificeda lotto achieve this feat.He started judoat theageof eight in 2007,

with the Eerste River Judo Club and lovedthe sport from the very first practice ses-sion.In2008hewasnominatedbyBolandJudo

to participate in the JSA nationals in PortElizabeth where he finished fourth in hisweight division (38kg).He has now represented Boland for nine

years in succession and won goldmedals ateveryJSAChampionshipssince2009,name-ly: Soweto in 2009, Van der Bijl Park in 2010,Cape Town in 2011, Bloemfontein in 2012,PortElizabeth2013andPortElizabethagainin 2014.He is ranked number one on the national

ranking list group in his weight class(73 kg).On Friday 6 February this year, he com-

peted in the JSAnational trialsGroup 4 andGroup 5, where he finished second and first

respectively.In the national ranking event on

Saturday 7 February, he finished first inGroup 4 and third in Group 5 – competingin age groups of 17 years old and older.He is also a technical official and referee

C class at local and national judo competi-tions.“It has been tough advancing through to

the differentweight divisions so quickly, asI often have to compete against guys as oldas 20 who have been fighting in their sameweight division for up to three years,” Ver-

non says.“I love judo because it is a gentle sport

and you learn how to discipline yourselfand respect your opponent. My next goalis to make the SA team for the Common-wealthGames inPortElizabeth in2016andtogetmyblackbelt (heiscurrentlyabrownbelt) before the end of 2015, as well as mylevel 1 coaching certificate.”An award Vernon is extremely proud of

is the highly coveted Elanor MarietteGouws Trophy for outstanding achieve-ment in judo.

This trophy was presented to him byGert Gouws, 7th Dan and JSA coach,last year.

Vernon also plays rugby – in-side or outside centre – and crick-et for his school and last year at-tended the WP u/15 trials.He is currentlyattendingahigh

performance training camp inCapeTown, presented by twonation-

al judo coaches.Vivian, Vernon’s dad, says his son has al-

sobeeninvited tocompetitionsandtrainingcamps inScotlandandBurundi inJune, butthese events are costly and the club relieson sponsors to help the judokas, but it is noteasy to get funding or sponsors.Vivian, who supports Vernon at every

event anddriveshim topractices, says: “We(he and hiswife) try our utmost to help Ver-non achieve his dreams and goals, but heknows, education comes first.”
