Robbers go onshooting rampageLise Beyers
ONE man was injured and many otherlives threatened, when a
robber went ona shooting rampage.
This incident tookplace
lastweekduringarobberyatashopbelongingtoaSomalianin Adams Street,
Klapmuts.
Here four suspects arrived in a white Kiacar. One of the
suspects got out, enteredthe shop and shot the Somalian owner inthe
back at close range.
Theinjuredmanmanagedtofleeoutside,on which his assailant
followed him, firingoff several shots in the process.
Klapmuts police station commander,CaptFaith deKlerk, said that
it is amiraclethat more people were not injured as therewere many
people, as well as children, inthe vicinity.
While the suspect was on his shootingspree, the other suspects
ransacked theshop, stealing money, cellphone airtimeand cigarettes.
They then all fled the scenein their vehicle.
No arrests have been made.A day later, a 23-year-old Somalian
man
was also shot by armed robbers.
This occurred when four men tried
togainaccesstoacontainershopinChrisHa-ni, Mbekweni.
When the owner of the shop refused tolet then in, one of the men
fired variousshots with a handgun, striking the Somali-an twice in
the leg.
All four men then fled on foot.Mbekweni police spokesperson,
const L
Mqakelana, said that these suspects canpossibly be linked to
other robbery casesin Mbekweni whereby firearms were used.
Anyone with information can contactWO. Abel Swartz at 021 868
9926 or 076457 1287.
Police are also investigating similaritiesbetween these attacks
and an armed rob-bery at a shop in Groenheuwel recently,during
which the Pakistani shop-ownerwas killed.

People want speed bumps,lighting, homesAnne Kruger
PEOPLEinDrakensteinwantspeedbumpsandbet-ter street lighting.
Thisbecameclear at the recentmunicipal roadshowmeeting in the
Paarl town hall last week, attended byabout 200 people.
Feedback on the draft budget was given, and wardcouncillors
reported back on their expenditure duringthe past year.
The most common requests for funding reported byward councillors
throughout the municipal area wasfor traffic calming measures like
speed bumps, as wellas improved street lighting, sidewalks and
parks.
Another issue was better access to buildings for dis-abled
people.
A number of residents raised questions from
thefloor,especiallyfarmworkersfromSimondiumandAg-ter Paarl. They
complained about living conditions onfarms, including poor water
supply and sanitation.
Deputy Mayor Conrad Poole explained that the Mu-nicipality had
no control over private landowners, butthat a task team had been
launched to negotiate withfarmers, and to ensure that subsidies
available for im-proved sanitation and water supply were
accessed.
We wish to empower rural residents. Although wecannot force
landowners to co-operate, we attempt tomediate.
We encourage farm workers who have poor
waterqualityandsanitation, toapproachtheirwardcouncil-lor who will
alert the authorities to address their pro-blems.
Rural residents must also ensure that they are onthe municipal
housing waiting list as a percentage ofnewhousingprojects is
earmarked for rural residents.
We are also currently investigating the purchase ofland in the
Simondium area, where we can accommo-date people who have been
evicted from farms.
Oncewehaveobtained land,wewill thenassist the-se people to
access land grants from the Departmentof Land Affairs to build
their houses.
Expenditure of ward funds varied from upgradingof schoolgrounds
for sports activities in rural areas,to installation of computer
centres and holiday activi-ties for youngsters, to Clean and Green
refuse remo-val activities, first aid training and assistance to
oldage home.
In some areas, containers have been placed wheresoup kitchen and
small shops can be run.
Another project is the training of local residents toimprove
their gardening skills, thus enhancing theirability to find
work.
WE ARE NEGLECTED. Maritha Ebrahim addresses council-lors during

6 . Paarl Post Thursday 26 April 2012Opinion Menings
Wellington is a declining residential dumpI SETTLED in
Wellington ap-proximately two months ago what disillusionment. Not
onlydidImoveinduringanunbeara-ble (annual) heat-wave, the
pla-cestruckmeasthe forgottense-at of civilisation.
I am encountering severalnightmares here, being, firstand
foremost, the uncontrolledhordes of drunkards havingpermanently
occupied the topsection of the main road, bothsides being used for
drinking,eating,urinating,living,fightingand meeting.
While the usage of the pave-ments are confused with that
ofroads, they are often narrowlymissed by perpetually
speedingvehicles.
Another nightmare is the4x4s which seem to make out90%of the
local vehicularpopu-lation.
Most roads, mainly the Mainand Stokery, are being used
ashometown Killarneys.
Massive trucks rumble back-wards and forwards 24 hoursper day
and totally oblivious tothe noise and clouds of dustwhich engulf
the neighbour-hoodwhichremainsundercon-stant siege of careless
profit-making.
Theconditionof theroads,ge-nerally, are beyond poor andgrass
struggles to grow.
Residentialdevelopmentsha-ve been effected in certain areasnot
suitable for housing and re-sidential purposes, I believe.
The searing heat turns yourhouse into a sauna and
sleep-ing,asaresult, ispractically im-possible (trees would make
anenormous difference).
More aggravation is added byclouds of mosquitoes. One hasto
practically sneak in and outof your house while never beingable to
open windows and doors
for freshair -all this in themidstof excessive amounts of
dustand a multitude of omnipresentcreeping and flying insects.
Ants, in unstoppable hordes,crawl all over the house, my bo-dy,
bedding etc.
The Municipality governs inundemocratic fashion,
makeslotsoferrors,remainunaccoun-table, and unilaterally raise
de-bits by reprogramming the elec-tricity pre-payment system.
No correspondence is enteredinto and lawyers are appointedat the
drop of a hat to furtherbleed the tax-payer for the in-competence
and mistakes.
I have visited a pay camp-siteatthefootofBainsKloofanden-quired
whether there had beenanoutbreakofwarduetothene-ar total
destruction of the place.
Nowonder theplay-parknearmy house is deserted as it onlyserves
as a small monument tothe rapid development of a fullyblown
residential dump, whilechildren are robbed of their na-tural
outdoor activity and inha-bitants robbed of their peacefuland
reasonably rights to a com-fortable existence.
Buildingsaredilapidatedandoverflowing sewerage stencheshang in
the air, break-ins arerampant (I suffered one), andgrowing rubbish
dumps springup like the mushrooms all overthe place.
There is not a clean street in
Wellington.The shops, deliberately and
intentionally, sell their fair sha-re of rotten or spoilt
products,recourse is a challenge and, atgreat cost and persistent
with alistless health department, onehas to access the law at
greatcost for remedies.
To submit a complaint to theWinelands Health Departmentserves no
purpose as, it appe-ars, they have total disinterestin this
crumbling town.
In the street where the courtand other businesses are
situa-ted,onewouldestimate thatap-proximately a thousand peopleper
day would frequent thatarea. Yet provision for parkinghas only been
made for approx-imately 20-25 vehicles.
Naturally, this is totally insuf-ficient to cater for the
volumesof traffic and visitors, which, ineffect, is abused for the
purposeof the issue of parking tickets,which, at least, is a sign
that asmall section of the MunicipalManagement is still operative
that of further bleeding the tax-payer.
I amaware that theonly signsof apparent active local
gover-nanceandpoorleadershiprearsitself in never-ending
mudslin-ging sessions occasioned bet-ween the ANC and the DA,
neit-her of them in a state fit to pro-perly govern this little
backdorp extension of Paarl.
How are taxes justified insuch a dump? I believe that aPest
Control business wouldflourish here.
Thereisnoremedy,andI,pro-bablylikeothers,havelostthou-sands of
rands in a sad miscal-culation of an investment op-portunity.

THE handover of new homes in the Drommedaris housing project
isawelcomeevent-notonlyfortheoldestbeneficiary,101-year-oldSele-ku
Xontana, but for all beneficiaries in line to receive houses in
thishuge project, and for all of Paarl.
This project has taken ten years to get off the ground and has
beenfraught with administrative delays.
The residents of Paarl have watched apalled over the years at
theslowprogresswith this importantproject,whichwastoprovidehomesto
thousands of people currently living in shacks.
Among the reasons cited, were that the wrong person had
beenappointed as empowerment partner, and thus the original
contractorwas booted of the contract.
The delays led to a land invasion last year, when beneficiaries
whosawnoprogress, decided to claim their
sites.Carefulnegotiationsma-naged to bring an end to this impasse,
so that work could continue.
The speed with which the project is being executed under the
newtowncouncil, keepsalive thehope thatbureaucracy isgetting

concerned.

Net Engels?IN die Paarl Post van 19 Aprilis n brief geplaas van
n seke-re mnr Cloete rakende die OuPaarl/Klapmutspad. Sy briefwas
in Afrikaans en vind ekdit vreemd dat mnr Riaan Vi-viers van UWP se

n Mens verwag dat hy dienodige respek aan die brief-skrywer sou
toon en die briefin Afrikaans beantwoord.

Kind van die berge stap steedsLise Beyers
DIS my berge daai, s Katrin Steytler assy uitkyk oor die
Drakensteinberge.
Dis juis hier, byna in die berge, waar sygrootgeword het op
Saffier-plaas in KleinDrakenstein saam met haar pa, die
bekendeplaaslike skrywer WA de Klerk.
Naweke isdaarberggeklimsaammethaarbroer DP en suster Jean, want
haar pa wasn toegewyde bergklimmer.
Hyhetvirhullealdiegeheimevandiebergeleer ken en tot vandag toe
vind Katrin haardikwels tussendiekranseassy toevlugsoek.
Nie net dit nie, maar De Klerk het n passiegehad vir die
geskiedenis van Daljosafat.
So het Katrin grootgeword met haar sielvasgepen in die
vallei.
Ast ware is hierdie vallei die
geboorteplekvanAfrikaans,metKleinboschAugustawaardieHugenoteGedenkskoolbeginisasdieeer-ste
Afrikaanse skool in die land. My pa wasgefassineer deur hierdie
geskiedenis en hetbaienavorsingswerkhieroor gedoen, ookoordie
eerste setlaars in die vallei.
SohetKatringrootgewordmetdiemooiste,asook hartseerste, stories
van die verlede.Maar min het sy geweet dat in haar later
jaresynetsobetrokkesouweesmetdiegeskiede-nis van die gebied as wat
haar pa was.
NadatsyopLaRochellegematrikuleerhet,het sy tale gestudeer aan
Stellenbosch Uni-versiteit. Engels en Frans was haar hoofvakke.
HiernahetsyvirnklompiejaarskoolgehoubyskoleindiePaarl.Maarsyhetaltyd
inhaarbinnestegevoeldatsyniehier-voor beskore was nie.
Toe ontmoet sy iemand wat betrokke was by oorklan-kingswerk by
die SAUK en dit het haar aangetrek. Ditwas juis in die dae toe
talle televisiedramas vanaf Fransna Afrikaans oorgeklank is.
Katrin het n kontrak losgeslaan en het as oorklan-kingsregisseur
by die SAUK in Seepunt begin werk.
Dit was harde werk, maar verskriklik uitdagend.Soms het dit dae
lank geneem om die regte frase te kryvir n spesifieke toneel.
OmteontspanhetsyenhaarwynmakermanFreddieperd gery: Dit was my
ontspanning en toevlug.
Katrin het al hoe ruiters op uitritte geneem teen
dievoetheuwelsvandieKleinDrakensteinbergebyDaljosa-fat, en so het
die geskiedenis begin terugkom na haarwat sy destyds by haar pa
geleer het.
En sy het nog meer verhale van die verlede bygekry.Teen 1994 is
oorklankingswerk by die SAUK uitgefa-
seer en Katrin is voltyds terug op die plaas.Sy het die nodige
kursusse as toergids voltooi en wou
die wreld na Wellington en omgewing bring.Sy en Freddie het die
Wildekus-slenterstap gaan loop
en hiertydens het sy besef dat n soortgelyke staptoermoontlik is
in die wynlande.
Kort hierna ontmoet sy vir Judy Elliot, n toeropera-teur van
Kaapstad en hulle begin praat oor n wynloop-roete in die
gebied.
Alles het nou in plek begin val en sedertdien het onsnog nooit
teruggekyk nie.
VandagfloreerdieWellington-wynloopsaammetJea-netta Ingwersen,
Ron Lloyd en Elliott, soveel so dat ntweede roete onlangs gevestig
is.
Toere strek tussen verskeie historiese plase, vanafDaljosafat na
Wellington. Hier word wynproe
aange-bied,asookgeleentheidomanderproduktewatopplase
geproduseer word soos kase, olywe en olies, asook inte-ressante
druiwekonfyte to beproef.
Ons besef nie wat ons hier op ons eie drumpel
hetnie.Diediversiteit isongelooflikendieplaaslikegemeen-skap baat
by hierdie inspuiting van toerisme.
Mense kom nou van heinde en ver om ons wynlandeso te geniet en
hulle dra die boodskap weer oor as hulletuis kom.
Wat Katrin se toere so merkwaardig maak, is die sto-ries uit die
verlede. Min mense ken die geskiedenis vanDrakenstein so goed soos
sy. Sy gaan so ver terug asdie geskiedenis van die Khoi en Boesman,
en dan vandie Du Toits, die eerste setlaars van Daljosafat.
Die Paarl was toe reeds n nedersetting met hul aan-koms, maar
die meerderheid van sy inwoners was Hol-lands.
Die Franse wou nie met die klomp meng nie en hetdus persoonlik
by Simon van der Stel aangeklop om tevra vir ander grond. So is
Daljosafat gebore die valleivan vergelding.
Katrin kyk weer oor die berge.Daar l Augusta-kop. Dis daar waar
die Boesmans
aan pokke dood is toe die Europers hierdie siekte in1713
aangebring het.
SyvertelhoeFrancoisduToit opdie skok-toneel afge-kom het. Maar
tussen die lyke het hy n baba hoor huil,die enigste oorlewende.
Hy het die babaseuntjie huis toe geneem en hy hetsaam met die Du
Toits grootgeword. Later jare het
dieBoesmanseundieDuToit-seunsdeurdiebergegeneemna waar sy mense
vandaan kom.

Dit is maar net een van die talle verhale wat deur dieberge

Rivers can soonbreathe againLise Beyers
THE Berg River willsoon be rejuvenat-ed, due to a
privateenterprise whichwill be ridding theembankmentsofal-ien
vegetation.
This comes afteryears of variousprojects which un-successfully
tried toeradicate alien vege-tation from the river,which is
beingchoked by invasiveplants.
One blue gum treecan use up to 500 li-tres of water per day,and
especially be-tween Paarl and Sar-on, these trees are strangling
the river.
A private company, Biomass Energy
Sus-tainableTechnologies(BEST)whichproduc-es biofuel chips as an
alternative fuel, hasundertaken the river cleaning project.
Theywill not only be tackling the Berg River, butthe Breede River
as well.
Besides creating jobs, it will also make acontribution to the
countrys carbon emis-sions reduction.
The provincial department of
agricultureandthenationaldepartmentofwateraffairsare also involved
in the project.
BEST will be responsible for removing al-ienplants
fromtheriverbanksandwill thenuse the wood to manufacture
biochipswhich are also exported.
Francis Steyn ofthe Western CapeDepartment of Agri-culture said
it was adream come true,now that BEST hastaken the lead.
Steyn had earliersaid it would costnear to R300 millionto
rehabilitate theecosystem of thesemajor rivers in theWestern Cape,
withmore than 300 000tons of blue gum andother alien species tobe
removed.
For years we havebeen trying to findways of successfullyclearing
the riverbanks, but we never
had a real off-set for the wood.We thus opened the doors for the
private
sectortobecomeinvolvedandBESTtooktheinitiative.
Steyn said the ultimate aim was to bringthe riversback to their
original,healthyeco-system,and indoingso, alsoboost tourism.
Thisproject isexpected to runoveraspanof ten years.
All interested parties are invited to at-tend an open day on 4
May at the Du Vleifarm stall outside Hermon to discuss
theproject.
Farmers and interested parties are askedto contact BEST owner
and CEO, SamLovett, for an invite to the open day. He canbe
contacted on [email protected].

Business Profile:Personal service is their secretFrans le
Roux
PEOPLE thought we were cra-zy when we started a vegetableshop in
Paarl - they said therewere too many farms aroundhere. But here we
are today -still
goingstrong,saysFernan-dodeFreitas(41),ownerofPaarlMarket.
He and his brother Nel (37)opened their business back in1996 and
haven't looked backsince,despitethecurrenttougheconomic
climate.
Timesaredefinitely tougher,but thenumberofclientswegetis
increasing although peopleare spending less on luxury products.
Withtheriseinthepriceofelectricity,die-sel and rent, our profit
margins have alsoshrunk.
After owning a similar shop in GreenPoint the de Freitas
brothers decided thatthey needed to expand and after some re-search
found the perfect spot right here inPaarl. We were looking to
expand and weneeded tobringmybrotherandhispartneron board. When we
arrived here it was afurniture and game store. We made it whatPaarl
Market is today.
Fernando says that their recipe for suc-cess is simple.
Wekeep it small,wedobusinesshands-onand there is alwaysoneofusat
theshopto assist customers.
We dont have managers running theplace, we do everything
ourselves. We doour own buying and because we dont
havebigstoragefacilities,webuyfreshstockdai-ly, including
Saturdays.
NelandFernandohavetwochildreneachand after 15 years in Paarl
they still enjoyowning the shop.
NelsaysthatPaarlMarket isasuccessfulfresh produce store for a
number of rea-sons.
Wehave amorepersonal touchwithourclients. We can go anywhere in
Paarl andour clients will recognise us because wework hard on
getting for them what theyneed. Andkeepingthepricesas
lowaspos-sible and really cutting into our profit mar-
giniswhatkeepsourcustomershere,saysFernando.
Seeing that they specifically deal in fruitand vegetables,
freshness is of the utmostimportance. Daily deliveries from
acrossthe country ensure that Paarl Market hastop quality, fresh
produce.
We get our produce from the market,and about 80% of the goods
come directfrom the farmers from all over the provinceand some from
Gauteng, says Fernando.
According toNel theysupport local farm-ers as much as
possible.
Why fruit and veg?We started working in vegetable shops
at a very young age (13-14). With all thatexperience and
expertise we thought: whydo something else if youre already good
atthis! says Nel.
ThedeFreitas familyemigratedfromMa-deirabecauseofa lackof
jobopportunities.
Our parents came from the Portugueseisland of Madeira as
immigrants to look fora better life in South Africa. Madeira
didnthavemanyopportunitiesbecauseitsaverysmall island.
My father was a fisherman there and heis still one today at the
age of 74. He neverwanted us to be fishermen however, be-cause its
a difficult life.
According to Nel the secret to their ongo-ing success is that
they keep on adaptingto suit changing times. This is what
makesPaarlMarket thesuccessful store that it re-mains today.

VOORRUIT UITGESKOP. n Vragmotor wat graan vervoer, het
Sondagoggend omstreeks03:00 omgeval voor Huguenotstasie in die
Paarl. Die bestuurder het glo eers n paar drankiesgedrink by n
plaaslike kuierplek voordat hy by die verkeerslig voor die stasie
wou opdraai,en die pad byster geraak het. Die bebloede insittendes
het, nadat hulle die voorruit uitgeskophet, die hasepad gevat,
vermoedelik om te verhoed dat hulle van dronkbestuur aangeklakan
word. Die pad was gesluit terwyl die voertuig op sy wiele gedraai
en weggesleep is.

Retief Street to lose its peaceRESIDENTS of Retief Street in
Paarlare concerned about a proposed
deve-lopmentof229housesadjoining theirstreet.
The development has been in the pipe-line for many years,
despite vociferousobjections from residents who have
al-waysenjoyedanunlimitedviewof
theru-ralpropertyacrosstheroad,andtherezo-ning isdue tobeapprovedby
themunici-pal council today.
Retief Street, the northernmost streetin Paarl intersecting with
Main Street, isoneofthequietest
inPaarl,offeringbeau-tifulviewsofthesurroundingmountains.It adjoins
the farm La Roche, the sout-hern section of which is to be
subdividedinto 229 units.
We are not opposed to the develop-ment, but we are very
concerned abouttheincreaseintrafficinthestreet,especi-ally during
construction, says MikeShaw of Retief Street.
Residents feel that a development
ofthissize,whichcouldmeanapermanentincrease of 400 cars in our
street, is pro-blematic if it does not have its own exitinto Main
Street. As it is, residents of Re-tief Street struggle to enter
Main Streetduring peak hour traffic.
There isanoldhouseat the intersecti-on of Retief and Main
Street, which pre-vents the intersection being widened fora traffic
light.
Wefeelthereshouldbeanewintersec-tion north of Retief Street with
a trafficlight or traffic circle giving access to the
development, instead of funneling thetraffic down Retief
Street.
A total of 61 objections were lodgedagainst the development by
landowners.
The gated development of 15 hectareswill havesmall erven ranging
insize from350 to 500 square metres each, with anumber of open
space including an olivegrove on the Main Street side.
House sizes will vary from 87 squaremetres to 165 square metres.
All homeswill be single storey and built in a Capestyle. A
clubhouse/restaurant and officewill be located in the former
farmhouse.
The town council is expected to appro-vetherezoningof
thepropertytosubdivi-sionalareaat itsmeeting today,whereaf-ter
detail planning can start.
According to town councillor JohanRademeyer (portfolio holder
planning)accessdetailscouldchangebeforethede-velopment is
eventually approved.
The provincial roads engineer has in-dicated that another
entrance in MainStreet,northofRetiefStreet,wouldbetooclose to the
existing intersection, but weplan to invite them to visit the site
again,to possibly reconsider their decision.
A portion of the site will also be usedtowidenRetiefStreet
