MORE than 90 residents will soon bewithout work after one of the town’sbiggest employers is allegedly forced

to cease operations after 15 years in the area.

The adventure tourism company Storms-river Adventures and Tsitsikamma CanopyTours, who has been active in the Tsitsikam-ma area since 1998, has been informed by theSouth African National Parks (SANParks)that they must close their doors by June 30this year.

SANParks decided not to renew the con-tract for this part of the Tsitsikamma forestwhich is used by the company for their out-door activities. This part of the forest belongsto the state.

Stormsriver Adventures CEO Ashley Went-worth, believes that this decision will have anegative impact on the area and its community.

“The socio-economic impacts of our forcedclosure are devastating. A total of 95 familieswill be affected, with 50 permanent and 45part-time employees who will lose their jobs- R250 000 in wages per month will be lost,”said Wentworth.

Apart from the major job losses, 230 schoolchildrenwill stop receiving ameal four timesa week, the company’s aids programme willcome to an end, and the community animalwelfare programme will cease to exist.

“SANParkshave since 2010 indicated thatwewouldhaveto go through a tender process, but have constantly de-layed this and granted six-month extensions,” saidWent-worth.“We were not opposed to the process provided it was

fair and transparent and respected our intellectual prop-erty rights as we brought the canopy concept into Africain 2000. W we have developed a sustainable businessmodel, embracing responsible tourism and have certainlegal intellectual property. You simply cannot put an es-tablished business out to tender. This is whatwe are con-testing.“Our attorneys are constructively trying to engage

SANParks to ensure that some sanity prevails. The legalissues betweenour attorneys andSANParks are at a verydelicate stage, but they have finally accepted certain ofour intellectual rights. We will at all cost defend therights of our wonderful employees.”Garden Route Regional General Manager, Jill Bund-

ing-Venter, however said the reports doing the roundsare not only factually misleading but are placing SAN-Parks reputation at risk. “The fact of the matter is thatSANParks as a public institution has to follow the Na-tional Treasury regulations as far as Public Private Part-nerships (PPP’s) are concerned.“In an attempt to address project continuity and pro-

tect jobs SANParks has in fact renewed the contractwhich ended on December 31, 2004 on several occasionsand cannot by law continue with the practice. This wasspecifically done to ensure that no jobs were lost andseamless product offering continues. In essence SAN-

Parks has done all in its power to accommodate the cur-rent service provider as well as its reputation.”Despite ongoing negotiations and legal processes, the

parties are yet unable to reach consensus on a structuredway inwhich a tender process could be undertakenwith-out halting operations.She said as prescribed by the Public Finance Manage-

ment Act (PFMA) when a PPP term comes to an end, theopportunity should be put out on an open and transpar-ent tender. The management of the indigenous forestsis a function that was assigned by the then Departmentof Water Affairs and Forestry to SANParks and the per-mit issued to Storms River Adventures has expired. Typ-ically opportunities relating to state assets cannot be giv-en out in perpetuity.“This is the case for all projects, evenwhere theprivate

sector has to invest large amounts of money for e.g. inthe Lodge Concessions, restaurants etc. It should be not-ed that the current service provider will not be excludedfrombidding for this opportunity - in actual fact theywillbe encouraged to partake in the bidding process,” saidBunding-Venter.SANParks would like to further state that due process-

es will be followed to ensure that no jobs will be lost.SANParks would also like to see a scenario where the

current operations will continue to run uninterrupteduntil a new service provider is appointed, provided thecurrent operator does not continue to obstruct the proc-ess of rolling out the tender. In the event that the currentservice provider is not successful, SANParks envisagesthat there will be a seamless handover of the currentworkforce to the new provider as per Section 197 of theLabour Relations Act.

SWAK dienslewering by die HumansdorpVerkeersdepartement is besig om inwonersteen die mure uit te dryf.

Lede van die publiek wat verlede Donder-dag opgedaag het om onder meer lisensies tehernu, moes lank wag om geholpe te raak.Om in die etensuur ’n lisensie af te haal of

enige ander transaksie te voltooi, is net ’ndroom.Minstens 3 uur is deesdae hiervoor nodig.Dit lyk of personeeltekorte die groot pro-bl-

eem is.KabousKoleskyvanPortElizabeth,wat nie

vir die lang toue daar kans gesien het nie, ver-tel hoe hy Donderdag maklik drie uur lankmoes toustaan in Humansdorp om sy bestu-urslisensie te hernu.“Ek was voor 10:00 by die verkeersdeparte-

ment waar hulle my ’n nommer in die handgestop het. Nagenoeg drie uur later was ditmy beurt om in te gaan. Ten spyte van die ser-tifikaat van my oogkundige het hulle op ’noogtoets aangedring wat uitgevoer is deur ’nbeampte wat nie op standaard is nie,” sê Ka-bous.Teen 13:00, met die eindpunt in sig, moes

Kolesky in sy spore omdraai omvir ’n verdere

30minute indie ry tewag terwyldiepersoneelop ete is.“Teen dié tyd het hulle nog net 33 mense,

my inkluis, gehelp,” vertel Kolesky.Teen 14:00 het hyuiteindelikmet sy kwitan-

sie in die hand gestaan.“Ek skryf dié stadige diens toe aan ’n tekort

aan personeel. Daar is net een beampte omkliënte te help, wat ’n ewigheid vat.”Volgens nog ’nBaaienaarwat drie leerders

van Port Elizabeth gebring het om vir hul be-stuurslisensie aansoek te doen, moes hulleongeveer vier ure wag om gehelp te word.“Tienminute voor hulle om15:00 toemaak,

kon ons ten einde laas in die ry gaan staanom te betaal. Maar hier gekomwas daar nie-mand om ons te help nie. Ek het vir vyfmense gevra om my te help, maar almal hetmy geïgnoreer,” vertel sy. “Ek kan nie huistoe gaan voor ek betaal het nie.”Sommige inwonerswat nie so lank konwag

nie, moes onverrigter sake omdraai.Volgens munisipale woordvoerder, Mfun-

do Sobele, het die Humansdorp Verkeersde-partement oor die jare ’n gewilde plek virmense buite die Kouga geword om verskeietransaksies te doen.“Hoewel dit ’n pluimpie vir die personeel

is, plaas dit addisionele druk op hulle en isdit een van die redes vir die lang rye mense,”

sê Sobele.“Ons personeel probeer om so veel as

moontlik transaksies te verwerk, so vinnig aswat hulle kan, maar dit is belangrik dat hulleseker maak dat alle administrasie vereistesgevolg word om te verseker dat alle transak-sies suksesvol is.“Vertragings kan verder toegeskryf word

aan tegniese haakplekke op die stelsel. By tye

word daar ook gevind dat die kliënt nie al dienodige dokumentasie gebring het nie, en ditdra ook by tot die vertraging.“Met sekere transaksies, soos die hernu-

wing van ’n lisensie of die goedkeuring van’n leerlinglisensie, is magtiging van dieprovinsiale Departement van Vervoer inBhisho nodig. Soms word daar vertragingservaar as gevolg van die wagtydperk.”

BILLABONG, die maatskappy wat al sinon-iemmet die plaaslike branderrygemeenskapgeword het, hoop dat ’n oorname van sy in-ternasionale belange ook die dorp se posisieas ’n top-branderrykompetisieplek in erekan herstel.

Ernest Bendeman, bestuurder van Bil-labong SA, verduidelik Billabong Interna-sionaal Beperk het verlede Dinsdag aange-kondig hy het ’n eksklusiewe ooreenkomsmet Paul Naudé en Sycamore Vennote, wathandel dryf onder die naam Sycamore Kon-sortium, aangegaan.

Sycamore Konsortium het tien werks-dae om ’n internasionaal erkende reken-meestersfirma aan te stel wat ’n ontledingvan Billabong se sake sal doen.Bendeman het bevestig Billabong SA self

het op groot maat afgeskaal op die dorp toetwee van die vyf kleinhandelwinkels sehuurooreenkomste nie op 1 April hernu isnie. “Dit is te veel om vyf winkels op so ’nklein dorpie te hê. Ons moes maar, soos diemeeste maatskappye in die huidige ekon-omiese klimaat, afskaal. Maar ons sien uitna die nuwe uitdaging.”Cheron Kraak, oorspronklike alleeneien-

aar en stigter van Billabong SA, sê Naudé,’n Suid-Afrikaner, was jare lank die presi-

dent van Billabong in die VSA.“Ek is seker hy sal weer probeer om die

ou Billabong Pro-byeenkoms op dreef te kry,indien hierdie transaksie deurgaan. Intus-sen gaan sakelui en belanghebbendes bytoerisme op Jeffreysbaai beslis een of andersoort fees in die eerste week van Julie aan-bied.”

THE Kouga Municipality does have a legal or-ganogram.

This is accordingto councillor VernonStuurman in re-sponse to DA MP El-za van Lingen’s alle-gation that the mu-nicipality has beenoperating without alegal organogram forthe last 16 months -thus making half ofthe staff appoint-ments illegal.

According to vanLingen the DA tookthis matter to courtat the end of lastyear. “In our courtdocuments (DA vsKouga Council) it isstated that Counciltabled an organo-gram on November1, 2011. On Decem-ber 1 Council re-scinded the adop-tion of the organogram as tabled a month ear-lier. The documents clearly stated that Kouga

would therefore be without an organogram.This recall of the organogram was therefore

approved by Coun-cil on December 1,2011,” said Van Lin-gen.

However, accord-ing to Stuurman,the DA lost thecourt case with costin the High Courtand are now appeal-ing at the SupremeCourt in Bloemfon-tein. “Our annualreport gives a clearexposition of our le-gal organogramand it also formspart of the qualifiedaudit opinion. Inshort, we do complywith the MunicipalAct requiring mu-nicipalities to havetheir own organo-gram or staff estab-lishment.”.

“Van Lingen’s actions mirrors her lack ofunderstanding of local government.”

BRANDSTIGTING is een van die oorsake watondersoek word nadat die Patensie Se-kondêre Skool Saterdag amper in geheel totteen die grond afgebrand het.

“Dis ’n reuseslag vir ons skool en vir die ge-meenskap,” sê Cecil Nadeley, waarne-mendeskoolhoof.Behalwe dat daar net nou vyf klaskamers

is wat bruikbaar is, gaan die 350 leerders niemeer elke dag ’n broodnodige bord gekooktekos kan kry nie, omdat die personeelkamer,waardie kos voorberei is, ook indie slag geblyhet.“Vir baie leerders was dit die enigste or-

dentlike bord kos wat hulle op ’n dag gekryhet.”Hy sê die hele administratiewe blok is ve-

woes.“Ons het álles verloor. Die rekenaar en

drukker, fotostaatmasjien, ’n yskas, ’n vries-kas, mikrogolfoond, stowe en selfs drie stellerugbytruie. Al ons administrasiewerk is ookdaarmee heen.”Ao. Basil Seekoei, polisiewoordvoerder, sê

die polisie ondersoek die voorval, maar hoe-wel ’n saak van brandstigting nog nie geopenis nie, word dié moontlikheid nie uitgesluitnie.Lede van die gemeenskap het name aan die

speurtak gegee van mense wat moontlik kanhelp met die brand-ondersoek.MildredWitbooi, wat oorkant die skool bly,

het Saterdag omstreeks 04:00 gesien hoe dievlamme al groter en groter raak.“Ek kon van my jaart af sien hoe die skool

brand. Ek was bang vir die vuur en dat dit naons huise toe sou kom.“Dis ’n genade dat die wind nie gewaai het

nie.”Sy het eers die polisie gebel en toe ’n sms

aan Daniël Wentzel, voorsitter van die skoolse beheerliggaam, gestuur om te sê die skoolbrand.

Volgens Wentzel het lede van die gemeen-skap gehelp om die vlamme te blus. “Teen dietyd dat die brandweer opgedaag het, wasmeeste van die vlamme reeds geblus.”Die skool het vir vier tydelike klaskamers

gewag, waarvan net een Vrydag afgelewer is.Geringe skade is hier aangerig.Die beheerliggaam sou gistermiddag met

ouers en onderwysers vergader het om ’n ak-sieplan saam te stel.Die skool – wat sedert 1997 net ’n tydelike

struktuur is – bestaan meesal uit houtge-boue.Nadeley sê die departement het geld om ’n

permanente skool te laat bou, maar dat diesloerdery verband hou met die identifisering

van ’n geskikte perseel.Die Oos-Kaapse onderwysdepartement kon

nie teen druktyd vir kommentaar bereikword nie.Mense met inligting oor die brand moet as-

seblief vir lt. LoaanSteenkampvandie polisiese speurtak op Patensie skakel by0 082 441 7984.

BEESLAND-slaghuis in Jeffreysbaai vier diemaand sy eerste verjaarsdag.Pieter Geyer en sy vrou, Tertia, `n oud-Jef-

freysbaaier, het die slaghuis in April 2012oorgeneem. “Ons bedank graag al ons lojalekliënte vir hul getroue ondersteuning die af-gelope jaar,” sê Pieter.” Sonder julle sou onsnie `n sukses kon wees nie. Ons beplan omnog vir baie jare hier te wees.”Pieter bedank spesiaal vir Dawie Horak,

Willie Rossouw, Pieter, Basie en die res vandie span by Beesland-slaghuis vir hul hardewerk die afgelope jaar.Pieter sê hul doelstelling is eenvoudig – om

hoop na die midde-dorp te bring asooktevrede klante. “Ons wil weer hoop na diemidde-dorp bring. Ten spyte van moeilikeomstandighede, het ons met die Vader se ge-nade `n sukses van die onderneming gemaak.Ons het bewys dat `n slaghuis in die midde-dorp nie net nodig is nie, maar ook `n vol-waardige plek volstaan. Toe ons ons deureverlede jaar opgemaak het, was daar nie eenslaghuis in Jeffreysbaai nie. Vandag spog diedorp met vier slaghuise.“Ons glo in diemidde-dorp en is positief oor

dié besigheidsektor. Die midde-dorp het ietswat die res vanJeffreysbaainiehetnie, naam-lik die see en `n groot verskeidenheid restau-rante. Ons doen `n beroep op die gemeenskapom die midde-dorp te ondersteun. Saam kanons die plek na sy vorige glorie herstel.“Ek en my vrou het `n ongelooflike passie

vir dit wat ons doen en wil ons Christenskapin die besigheid uitleef. Die midde-dorp be-hoort aan Jeffreysbaaiers.”

“Beesland-slaghuis staan vir eerlikhied,vriendelike diens, netheid en kwaliteitvleisteen billike pryse. Wanneer inwoners lekkervleis wil eet of `n braai beplan, moet Bees-land-slaghuis die slaghuis van keuse wees,”sê Pieter. “Kliënte kan ook verseker wees datons nie husse met lang ore in ons vleis-produkte verkoop nie.”Kliënte kanookuitsiennaverbeterde diens.

“Ons het die afgelope jaar uit ons foute geleer,en beloof om net hierop te verbeter en voortte bou op goeie en kwaliteitdiens,” sê Pieter.Pieter was vir twee jaar die eienaar van die

Despatch-vleismark, en vir die laaste 13 jaaraan die stuur van sake by sy eie slaghuis,Beesland-slaghuis, in Vryburg. Hy was ookin 1993 as een van die varkbemarkers in dieOos-Kaap aangewys. Nou ploeg hy dié

kundigheid en vaardigheid wat hy oor diejare opgedoen het, terug in die geboortedorpvan sy vrou, asook die plek waar hulleontmoet het en ewige trou aanmekaar beloofhet: Jeffryesbaai.Dawie het vir die afgelope 16 jaar by `n

toonaangewende supermark in Jeffreysbaaigewerk en voeg nou sy jarelange ondervind-ing en kennis by die span van Beesland-sla-ghuis. Volgens Pieter is hy `n onmisbare deelvan die slaghuis se sukses.Daar is ook elke Saterdag `n boeremark

A municipal cleaner has set herself a specialmilestone for her 50th birthday – she plans onobtaining her matric.

Lilly Stokwe (49) fromJeffreysBay recentlycompleted her level four (grade 11) Abet train-ing at Makukhanye.

She started attending classes in 2012 anddidsix subjects - Ancillary Services, English, So-cial Science, Maths, Travelling and Tourismand Life Orientation.

Abet is free education available to adultlearners who were not able to complete theirmatric as children. The local principal is Ron-aldo Jantjies, who also taught Lilly.

Doing the course was hard work becauseLilly had to do all of the work by herself. The

challenge was attending late classes afterwork and being a “housewife” at the sametime.

Lilly says she learnt aboutAbet through thelocal teachers.

The Abet course has motivated Lilly to im-prove her qualifications further and to striveto further her career. Her next target is tocomplete level five.

She would like to encourage other munici-pal workers and adults who do not have mat-ric to do the course. Shewouldalso like tohelpstrengthen the municipality’s involvementwith Abet.

Her advice for people who would like to dothe Abet courses is to keep on motivatingthemselves and to be patientwith themselves.

ALL hope is not gone that the historic AppleExpress train will be saved from becominglike many other local attractions that havebeen lost for the Nelson Mandela Bay in re-cent years.

A study, which is being funded by the Eco-nomic Development, Environment and Tour-ism Department through the Eastern CapeDevelopment Corporation, will look at thepossibilities for the narrow gauge line interms of tourism, passenger transport andfreight. This was announced by the MandelaBay Development Agency CEO Pierre Voges,recently.

The Apple Express train stopped operatingin December 2010. The PE-Avontuur narrowgauge railway line,which runs for 285kilome-tres, is the longest operating narrow gaugerailway in theworld. The linewas best knownfor its tourist train, the Apple Express, whichcommenced operations in 1965 to Loerie, laterto Thornhill or Van Stadens.

According to spokesperson Nerina Skuy,there are hopes to resume a limited servicebefore the end of the year.

“The train stopped operating on December

29, 2010. Theprevious operator, thePortEliza-beth Apple Express (PEAE) Section 21 Com-pany, ceased operating the heritage tourismtrain because the then Eastern Cape Depart-ment of Roads and Transport had reneged onan agreement to support the operation,” sheexplained.

“The railway line suffered flood damage atthe airport and at Chelsea during the heavyrains of the past winter. Transnet have indi-cated that they will evaluate the damage and,depending on this assessment, the decisionwith regard to repairs or future operationswill bemade by them.However, this is not theonly damage. The section just beyondKareedouw was damaged in 2008 and has yetto be repaired,” said Skuy.

In the meantime, she said, the Apple Ex-pressRailNPC (AER) is in theprocess of final-ising a lease agreement for premises at theTransnet Humerail Diesel Depot where thetrain is stored. Until this lease is finalised theApple Express technical crew cannot com-mence any work on the train.

“Unfortunately, at the time the train ceasedoperating, the coachesweredue for refurbish-ment and some need heavymaintenance. Thecoaches have spent two years out in the ele-ments andare lookinga littleworse forwear.”

SOWAT 90 000 ton se appels is onlangs gedurende ’n ergehaelstorm in die Langkloof beskadig.

’n Erge haelstrom het deur ’n 20km-strook van die Lang-kloof beweeg en appels wat nog gepluk moes word, beska-dig. Die meeste boere het reeds sowat 70% van hulle oestegepluk, maar die oorblywende appels is in verskeie gevalleerg beskadig. Veral die Haarlem- en Misgund-omgewingshet erg deurgeloop.

Marius van der Westhuizen, voorsitter van die Lang-kloof-boerevereniging, sê sowat 90 000 ton se appels is be-skadig, en jong bome is ook beskadig of het gebreek. “Indie Haarlem-omgewing is tussen 30 000 en 35 000 krattese appels beskadig.”

André de Wit, voormalige voorsitter van die verenging,het sowat 4000 kratte se appels verloor. “Bome het afge-breek of is ontwortel, ruite is gebreek en van my werkersse huise se dakke het afgewaai.” Die storm het oor diePaasnaweek voorgekom.

Uitstekende oes, verliese gelyVolgens van der Westhuizen het die vallei vanjaar uit-stekende oeste, met hoë-gehalte vrugte wat goeie pryse be-haal. Hy sê hoewel boere nie hulle totale oes verloor het nie,die verliese wel druk op hulle winsgewendheid gaan plaas.

“Dis uitvoergehalte vrugte wat beskadig is,” vertel hy.“Die beskadigde vrugte kan nou nie meer, terwyl die randgunstig is vir uitvoere, na die uitvoermark gestuur word

nie. Goeie pryse word ook behaal weens ’n hoë vraag naappels, omdat die mark in Europa min oordragvrugte vanhulle plaaslike oeste het.”

Die vrugte is nou net geskik om sap van te maak, enVan der Westhuizen sê daarvoor word boere baie mindervergoed. “En dit kom terwyl alle moontlike kostes, sooslone, aansienlik gestyg het.”

Die vallei verwag wel ’n koue, nat winter wat volgendejaar moontlik weer ’n goeie oes tot gevolg kan hê.Bron: Landbou.com

KOMMER heers in die sitrusbedryf oorswartvleksiekte en die EU se strengmaatreëls rondom die siekte.

Die Europese Unie se fitosanitêre-invoer-voorwaardes aangaande swartvleksiekte opsitrus is strenger as wat tegnies-wetenskap-lik regverdig kan word. Die Departementvan Landbou, Bosbou en Visserye sê hoewelhulle reeds die verskeie stappe op interna-sionale vlak gevolg het om‘n dispuut oor diekwessie aanhangig te maak, dié pogings nouverskerp gaan word.

Die bedryf word die afgelope seisoen deurdie siekte geteister, en veg verbete om ’nmoontlike verbod op uitvoere na dié wêreld-deel te voorkom. Justin Chadwick, hoofuitvoerende beampte van die Sitruskwe-kersverenging, sê die siekte kom op sitrus-vrugte wyd oor die land voor. Dit verkleurdie skil van die vrug.

Sowat ’n kwart van die land se vrugteword na die EU uitgevoer, terwyl die bedryfsowat R6,5 miljoen werd is.

Na ander markteChadwick sê weens die belangrikheid van diebedryf vir die land, lewer baie produsentetans nie hulle sitrus vir die EU-mark nie,maar eerder vir ander plaaslike of interna-sionale markte. “Die voorwaardes van die EUis eintlik onmoontlik om na te kom.”

Luidens ’n verklarjng is een van diestreng voorwaardes verlede jaar ingestel.Hiervolgens kan meer as vyf aanmeldingsvan die siekte in een handelseisoen lei totnog strenger voorwaardes of ’n uitvoerver-bod. Die EU wil voorkom dat die siekte hulgrense binnedring, hoewel dit glo nie vangeplukte vrugte versprei kan word nie.

Die departement sê, in samewerking metdie plaaslike bedryf, sal hulle voortgaan omdie streng voorwaardes teen te staan in diehoop om uitvoere te vergemaklik.Bron: Landbou.com

GRAAG wil ek die verpleegpersoneel, sowelas die skoonmakers, van die Life Isivivana-hospitaal in Humansdorp komplimenteermet hul uitstaande diens.

By die hospitaal word jy gehelp sonder diegewone verskonings van “ons is baie besig”of “ons is te min personeel”.

Glimlagte is aan die orde van die dag. Hulgesigte weerspieël ’n gees van blymoedig-heid met geen taak te groot of te klein nie.

Die personeel en sale is baie netjies.Ek sal Isivivana aanbeveel as ’n goeie en

betroubare verplegingsfasiliteit.Hou so aan. - Kobus

DIE arrogansie van uitvoerende burge-meester Booi Koerat en die Kouga-leiers watverwag dat belastingbetalers net moet aan-hou betaal, is merkwaardig.

Dienlewering aan belastingbetalers neemteen ’n tempo van 12% per jaar af, en Koeraten sy span wil kostes met nog 13% verhoog.

Die besluit benadeel die belastingbetalersjaarliks net verder. Ons as belastingbetalersse lewensomstandighede en koste word niein ag geneem deur die huidige Kouga-leiersse misbruik van hul gesag en swak bestuurvan belastinggeld nie.

Moet die belastingbetalers ook eers ’n

Ubuntu-aksie van geweld openbaar voordaar waarde vir ons belastingbydraes ge-maak gaan word?

As ons na die Kouga se riool, waterkwal-iteit, infrastruktuur en swak leierdissiplinekyk, is dit duidelik dat die huidige leiers vanKouga nie waarde toevoeg in verhouding tothul vergoeding wat uit ons belastinggeldverdien word nie.

Koerat en Kouga-leiers sal moet aanvaardat daar belastingbetalers is wat vir hulselfkan dink en die verpolitisering van versko-nings nie sal bly aanvaar nie.Hennie Josephus - Jeffreysbaai

Tariefverhogings is belaglik

TWEE weke gelede het ek by Wyk 9 se raads-lid, Luks Ntshiza, gaan kla oor ‘n drein watoorgeloop het en ‘n vreeslike reuk afgegeehet. Tot die varke het uit die woongebied ge-hardloop om eerste daar te gaan bad.

Toe ek die Vrydag by die munisipaliteit sesuperintendent, mnr Manie Nelson, gaankla het dat dit nou te erg word, het hy gesêdat hy alreeds ’n oproep daaroor van diewykraadslid se sekretaresse ontvang het endat hy nou op pad is.

Hy het in sy bakkie geklim met ‘n paarwerkers en met die suigtrok op hulle hakeis hulle weg.

Toe ek ‘n uur later by die huis kom, sien

ek hoe hulle besig is om die probleem op telos. Dit is ook nou die einde van die varkese badtyd. Nog ‘n probleem wat opgeduikhet, was op Vrydag, 5 April, toe een van onskerkbroers kom sê het dat water uit die me-ter by die Nasionale Pinksterkerk te Hankeystroom.EkhethomnamnrAmosMabukanebydiemunisipaliteit gestuur ennaongeveertwee ure se harde werk deur die werkers isdie probleem opgelos.

Sal dit nie wonderlik wees as ons meer vanhierdie soort mense in ons gemeenskap hetnie? Dankie aan Kouga-munisipaliteit seHankey-kantoor vir sulke raadslede enwerkers. - Hettie Booysen

Lof vir Hankey semunisipale span

PUTTING up a R10 million barrier at Van Sta-dens-river bridge is a bit of a lark as far as Iam concerned.

I don’t want to seem callous, but suicidal peo-ple have such a deep spiritual problem that nobridge barrier could prevent them from theirsuicidal mission. They might as well put barri-ers on all the other high bridges.

Personally, I have lost many close relativeswho took suicide as the only way out of theirdilemmas.

A bridge is not the only expedient to put anend to their ordeal. Some use a gun, a rope, gas,or some or other death wish of sorts to end theirlives. If a bridge puts a barrier in their way they

will soon find a substitute.I can only wonder how many palms are

greased by this R10 million project by a selectedcontractor or contractors who may be to eagerto jump on the bandwagon of enlarging theirportfolios. My question is: Are they really in-terested in peoples’ emotions of having lostloved ones, or in economical advantage.

Its obvious that all the other deterrents at thebridge have failed, so let’s try another one. Formuch less than R10 million, I am sure they cancreate employment by placing a full-time secu-rity official at the bridge.

That is my candid opinion.- Desmond Bester

R10million barrier bit of a lark

DIE volgende brief het ek 24 Januarie 2013 aandie plaaslike Posmeester gerig – sonder reak-sie. Is dit te veel gevra?

Ek versoek u vriendelik, dog dringend dievolgende:

Ons betaal ten duurste R320 (vir ons is ditbaie geld) vir die gerief om ’n posbus te kan hêsodat ons self ons pos kan gaan haal omdat dieaflewering nie altyd so betroubaar is nie. Maarwat baat dit om vir daardie “gerief “ te betaalas jy nou gebonde is aan kantoorure: vanaf 8:00– 17:00?

Ek (en soos duisende ander) werk van 8:00 –17:00. Soggens ry ek 7:45 by die poskantoorverby, maar kan nie my pos uithaal nie, wantdie hekke is gesluit. Namiddag kom ek 17:10verby, maar weereens die hekke is reeds ge-sluit. Watter voordeel is daar dan eintlik om ’nposbus te huur?

Ek verstaan u problem met die “straatsla-pers” en watter gemors hulle veroorsaak. Ekhet simpatie met u daaroor, maar daar is so ’n

maklike oplossing.Gebruik een van u personeellede en laat

daardie persoon die hekke eers 17:30 in die na-middag sluit. Net ’n halfuur later, en honderdemenses sal juig! Daardie personeellid kansoggens ’n halfuur later begin werk of haar-middaguur of sybe ’n halfuur langer maak. Ensiedaar! Waarom almal wat betaal vir hulle pos-busse nou straf? Dit hoef mos nie nodig te weesnie. Personeellede kan roteer om elkeen ’nbeurt te gee.

Om op ’n Saterdag in te ry dorp toe om poste gaan uithaal, sal nie meer nodig wees nie.

Meneer die Posmeester, u kry u pos gerieflikop u lessenaar. Betaal u miskien ook vir ’n pos-bus? Ek glo nie. U behoort die posbushuurdersse problem in te sien.

Miskien kan u sommer nuwe sluitingstyevan die hekke in die koerant bekend maak. Ekglo ek het die ondersteuning van honderde an-der ongelukkiges.- Ongelukkige Posbushuurder

SCHOOLS, businesses and individuals who inspire friendsand colleagues to take part in this year’s SPARWomen’s Chal-lenge will stand to win great prizes in the 20th edition of therace in Port Elizabeth on May 4.

According to SPAR Eastern Cape marketing manager AbriSwart the aim of the “introduce a friend”-competition is to re-ward loyal supporters and encourage new participants to dis-cover the fun and community spirit of the road race whichannually draws around 12 000 runners.

“If a lady who took part last year introduces a friend whodid not, they fill in an additional form that goes into a separatelucky draw. If their names are drawn, each of them will winR1 200.”

Swart said participants may introduce as many new ladiesas they wish, but may only nominate each one once.

“We’re once again also offering incentives in the hotly con-tested schools and corporates category.”

He said the primary school and company with the most en-tries would each win R2 500, while the most-represented highschool would earn a laptop computer.

“In addition, the teacher who assembles the largest numberof learners will receive R1 200 for his or her efforts.”

Last year Lorraine Primary went to the head of the class,while long-time supporter Lawson Brown High narrowly beatoff challenges from Arcadia and Westville Senior SecondarySchools.

Aspen Pharmacare took advantage of the team-building op-portunity to scoop the profits in the corporate category.

“To make things easier on everyone, we have instituted aspecial bulk entry procedure for schools and companies,” saidSwart.

“But each runner can still choose whether to do the 5km or10km event, as both count towards the total.”

He said participants in the newly introduced Little Ladies’Race for girls under the age of nine, which takes place duringregistration at Pollok Beach on May 1, would not qualify forthe primary schools category.

Swart said organising club, Walmer Athletics, had alreadydropped off or posted bulk entry packs – containing forms,posters and instructions – to interested schools and companiesacross the metro.

“Their race numbers and T-shirts will be prepared and pre-packed in bulk for collection before the race.” Representativescan collect their organisations’ packs from the registrationtent during office hours on April 29 and 30.

Enter at www.spar.co.za or collect a form from your neigh-bourhood SPARor selected sports shops inNelsonMandela Bay.

Late entries will be taken during registration from May 1to 3 (9am to 7pm) and on the morning of the race.

For bulk entry information, contact Colleen Muller on 084505 7519.
