Die gemeenskap van Macassar het gister(Maandag)motorbande voor die plaaslikemu-nisipale kantoor gebrand. Volgens ElizabethAdams van die Macassar Outreach-organisa-sie sou hulle ’n petisie aan raadslid John Heu-vel oorhanding om die beplande verskuiwingvan die Lwandle uitgesettes teen te staan.Adams het gesê dat mense gefrustreerd is oordie behuisingstekort op die dorp en dat hullewil hê dat daar eers na hulle behoeftes gekykmoet word, alvorens mense van ander dorpedaar geakkommodeer word. Volgens Adamshet mense oproerig geraak toe die raadslidnie daar was om die petisie van sowat 1 000handtekeninge te ontvang, soos wat verledeweek ooreengekom is nie.

Evictees move back to land they were evicted fromJAMEY GORDON

Temporary homes for the Lwan-dle evictees are still to be erectedonlandtheywere forcefullyevict-ed from earlier this month.

Homes were to be erected for theevictees last week. However accord-ing to Ward 85 Councillor MbuyiseloMatha, the delay is due to the level-ling of the land (which took place onFriday) and an issue with the provi-sionofmaterial for theerectionof849structures, 6x3 metres each.

“Thís iswhatweasked for, insteadthe City of Cape Town wants to pro-vide material for the erection ofhomes that are 3x3 m each,” saysMatha.

Hesaystheyhavethusfarreceivedmaterial for 200 homes, as well as 10cubicle toilets. He says they are alsoawaiting a team of 250 workers and50 team leaders employed by Sanral(SA National Roads Agency Limit-ed).

TheCityprovidedevicteeswithaninterim solution almost two weeksago.

The evictees are to resettle on theland belonging to Sanral where al-most 900 illegal occupants wereevictedearlier thismonth,until theyare permanently relocated to a sitein Macassar in November 2015.

The City agreed to provide 45chemical toilets that will be replacedby full flush toilets within twomonths, as well as water standpipes.The Housing Development Agencywill consult with Eskom for the sup-ply of electricity.

Apetitionagainst the relocationofthe Lwandle evictees to Macassarwas handed to Ward 109 CouncillorJohn Heuvel last Monday. The peti-tion was signed by about 400 resi-dents from Macassar.

According to Elizabeth Adams ofMacassar Village Outreach, the resi-dents of the greater Macassar will beapproached for further support. Ad-ams says although they sympathisewith the evictees, a serious need forhousing in Macassar already exists.

She says residents ask why theevictees are not accommodated inthe proposed housing project forVlakteplaas.

Tevrede met nuwebaadjie vir woonstelle?Die eerste woonstelblok in dieopgraderingsprojek van dieMacassar-woonstelle is vol-tooi. Die R36 miljoen-projekvan die Stad Kaapstad behelsdie konstruksie van ’n addisio-nele buitemuur wat om die be-staande muur gebou sal word,asook die verf van die 52 woon-stelblokke.

Alhoewel daar ’n algemenegevoel van trots onder die in-woners is oor die nuwe baadjiewat die B-woonstelblok het,voelsommigedatdaarheelwatmeer verbeteringe aan diewoonstelle, wat reeds vir so-wat 40 jaar deel van dié woon-gebied is, nodig is.

Denver George woon by dieC-woonstelle en dink die verf vandie woonstelle is ’n goeie gebaar.Hy is egter van mening dat die bin-nekant van die woonstelle waar dievloerteëls oplig, mure kraak en gey-sers oorloop, eerste aandag moesgeniet. FOTO’S: DELIAH BRINKHUIS

Shireen Thomas (32) woon sederthaar geboorte by dieB-woonstelle.Sy dink die woonstelblokke lykbaie mooi in hul nuwe baadjie,maar voel die binnekant van diewoonstelle kort aandag.

Willem Swart van die B-woonstelleis ontevredemetdiewerkswyse vandie kontrakteur. Swart sê die woon-steltrappe is met verf en sementbemors en net so gelaat. Hy sê dathierdie die eerste opgradering vandie woonstelle is sedert hulle oprig-ting en dat gebreekte trappe reggemaak behoort te word.

Madelein Abraham is baie tevredemet die opgradering tot dusver, enhoop dat hulle woonstel warmer salwees wanneer dit klaar is.

George Daniels sê die opgraderingis halfhartig gedoen en dat die vak-manskap swak is. Volgens Danielsis van die oorspoel-waterpype watwater moet uitlaat in die muur ge-bou, wat die mure klam sal laat endie lasplekke in geute sal veroor-saak dat water in mense se huiseloop.Hy sêookdat die vensterrameen die kolomme nie opgegradeeren geverf is nie.

What is Ramadaan?Ramadaan is the ninth month of the Is-lamic (lunar) calendar and is a time forMuslims to purify the soul, re-focustheir attentiononGodandpractice self-sacrifice.

Muslims are called upon to use thismonth to re-evaluate their lives in light ofIslamic guidance.Fasting in themonth of Ramadaan is one

of the fivepillars of Islamandall practisingMuslims fast from dawn until sunset. It re-quires that individuals abstain from eat-ing, drinking, smoking and sexual inter-course during the day.Fasting is often thought to figuratively

burn away all sins.Each evening, Muslims break their fast

at sundown with Iftar, a traditional mealbeginning with eating dates, which is ahomage to a sunnah (practice) of ProphetMuhammad (Peace be upon Him).

During Ramadaan, children are usuallyincluded in traditions such as taking whatis known as a “boeka plate” to neighboursbefore sunset. This is a plate of delicaciesmade for Iftar.During the evening, after the fast is bro-

ken, men and women usually attendTaraweeg – an evening prayer performedatMosque or in a group every night duringRamadaan, usually lasting about twohours.Muslims also believe that this is the

month that the Qur’an was revealed to theProphet Muhammad.ThedatesofRamadaanshiftslightlyeach

year because the start of the holy monthis based on the sighting of a newmoon andthe lunar calendar and the Gregorian cal-endar (used bymost countries) do not coin-cide with each other.This year Ramadaan is expected to begin

on 28 June.

What is Eid?The end of Ramadaan ismarkedby thecelebrationof Eid ul-Fitr - which liter-ally means festival ofbreaking the fast - either29 or 30 days after the be-ginning of Ramadaan.

This year Eid ul-Fitr is ex-pected to be on 27 July – de-pending on whether themoon is sighted or not.It celebrates the comple-

tion of the month of fastingand coincides with the firstday of Shawwal, the tenthmonth of the Islamic calen-dar. On this day, morningprayers are followed byfeasting and celebration

among family and friends.Muslims will customarily

visit the graveyard to prayfor the deceased. Thereafter,a light meal is usually con-sumedand therest of thedayis spent visiting family andfriends.South African Muslims

usually have a special lunchwith their loved ones anddress up on the day.Streets in the neighbour-

hood are filled with colour-fully clothed children whogo from house to housewhere theymaybe treated tovarious sweets, cakes andcan also receive money as agift.

The Village Kids need your helpCASSY VAN EEDEN

Village Kids is a preschool that caters forchildren from the often forgotten aboutcommunity of Garden Village, SomersetWest.

The school operates with two teachers and acook who all care deeply for each of the 24 tod-dlers they have taken under their wings.As facilitators, they are acutely aware of the

adverse circumstances many of the learnerscome from and make every effort to nurtureeach soul.Although the staff havevery little at theirdis-

posal, they work together as a team to createa safe and happy environment for the childrenthat is conducive to learning and play.This colourful and cosy environment was

burgled on 12 May (“Somerset West preschoolrobbed,” Helderberg Gazette 25 May) and theschool lost almost everything they had.Thethievesgainedaccesstothesmallpremis-

es in Gum Street through the emergency exit,“like they always do,” says teacher Liezal Op-perman.

She was referring to the three break-ins theschool has had in the past five years.The robbers stole toilet paper, tissues, blan-

kets, toothpaste, pots and pans, all their foodsupplies, linen, pillows, their printer and com-puter, fans and other essential items.The school’s sponsor has since replenished

many of the items that were stolen, but theschool is always in need of basic toiletries.It also desperately needs a security upgrade

including the replacement of outside lights sothat the premises are well-lit at night.The building’s maintenance is seriously ne-

glected by the municipality as there is mouldgrowing on the walls, the ceilings have warpedand there appears to be rats inside the roof.The structure itself is falling into disrepair

and Opperman said she fears the day that “thewhole thing falls in on us.”The learnersatVillageKidsarealsooften for-

gotten about when it comes to special talks,shows and outreach programmes and wouldgreatly appreciate any assistance of this kind.If readers would like to assist the school in

any way, please contact Cassy van Eeden on021 853 0211.

Thank you so much for the wonder-ful article about Bipolar awareness(Helderberg Gazette 27 May - Dispel-lingmythsaboutBipolar is essential).It is so important that these kinds ofissues are given positive coverage inthe media.

In conversationabout thearticlewhen it was published, she men-tioned that it is very difficult for hertotellpeopleinhercommunityabouther mental disorder, because peoplesee it as an ‘evil thing’ or it’s a West-ern thing.She told me that her son has been

bullied about it since his diagnosisand has difficulties making newfriends because other children havebeen told to stay away from him. Ap-parently he was also told by histeacher, when he confided in her,thathewasjust lookingforattention!I find this disgusting.Thank you Helderberg Gazette for
