It is rare for a school to come to a com-

plete standstill.But this is exactlywhat

happened at La Rochelle Girls High

School in Paarl on Monday, when the

entire school was briefly shut down in

honourofa fellowlearnerwhowaspar-

ticipatingintheYouthOlympics inChi-

na.

Junior hurdles sensation, Gzelle

Magerman (17), was in the starting blocks

at theOlympics inNanjing, when learners

and educators of La Rochelle were sum-

moned to the school hall where, thanks to

live streaming, they were able to watch

Gzelles remarkable victory live on the

big screen.

The entire school held its breath as

Gzellesailedeffortlesslyover thehurdles,

ending victorious at the finish line.

Her winning time 57,91 seconds was a

personal best for Gzelle in the 400 m hur-

dles.

And when Gzelle ascended the podium

inNanjing to receive her goldmedal, there

wasnt a dry eye in La Rochelle.

Gzelle,aGrade 11learner,alsosetanew

South African record in 400 m hurdles for

girls. Her time is the second fastest time

in the world for 2014.

Gzelle alsowon gold at the 2014 African

Youth Games that took place in Gaborone,

BotswanainMaythisyear,aswellasagold

medalat the2014SAYouthChampionships

in Stellenbosch on 5 April.

Even more remarkable is that the

Boland has now produced two back-to-

back gold medallists in the same event. In

2013 Helene Swanepoel fromPaarl Gimna-

siumwonagoldmedal in the400 mhurdles

for girls with a new South African record

of 58,08 seconds.

Gzellesveryproudmother,JaninePhi-

lander, thisweeksaid that the family isun-

believably proud of her.

Gzelle already showed talent on the

sports field at the age of seven. She pro-

gressed very quickly and has been includ-

ed in the SA team most years.

Earlier this year at the SAs, she had to

run the 400 m hurdles, do the long-jump

and then again run in the 400 m hurdles

finals within barely half-an-hour.

Janine said that the entire family

watched Gzelles race, also via live

streaming, in their home in Vredenburg.

There were lots of tears.

She said that theywill bewelcoming her

homewhenshearrivesatCapeTownInter-

national Airport on Sunday, after which

they will immediately whisk her away to

Darling, where a special church service

will be held in her honour. Then we will

return toVredenburg and spend some qui-

et time together as a family.

La Rochelle principal Amanda Lochner

was overjoyed by Gzelles performance.

Wealways knew shehad a good chance

to get gold, but when it happened, it was

overwhelming. We are so proud of her.

Drakenstein Mayor Gesie van Deventer

also praised Gzelles fine accomplish-

ment: Congratulations to Drakensteins

newgoldmedallist, not only forher school,

but her entire community. I am proud of

Honderde inwoners van Paarl-Oos het Sater-

Promisingyoung rugbyplayer

suffers injuryat interschools

FRANS LE ROUX

To play Inter-

schools for ones

school is some-

thing that most

learners dream

about and it should

be a day full of ex-

citement and won-

derful memories.

For JP van Rooyen

(18) a learner at La-

bori High School, this was unfortu-

nately not the case. Van Rooyen

played centre for the u. 19C team

when he was severely injured in

Saturdays interschools clash be-

tween Labori and Bosmansdam.

His sisterChanelvanRooyen, ex-

plains: My brother collided with

one of his own team

mateswhile tackling

anopponent.Thecol-

lision seemed rather

serious, as the other

playerwashelpedoff

the field by the para-

medics.

Van Rooyen, con-

tinued playing and

finished the game.

Upon returning

home, his family

soon realised that all

was not well. While he was in the

bathroom,JPbecamesick.Wenoti-

fied the ambulance service and he

was taken to hospital. After being

examined byadoctor,hewastrans-

ferred to Tygerberg Hospital.

There doctors discovered that

JPs liver had ruptured due to the

impact of his collision with his

teammate and that he needed a full

blood transfusion. After receiving

the transfusion he underwent a

surgery on Tuesday afternoon.

The operation was a success and

now the road to recovery starts for

VanRooyen.Manyofhis friendson

Facebook have wished him well.

ArielVolschenkwrote:Iamthink-

ing andpraying for you,whileAn-

drew Havenga wrote, Thinking of

you and I miss you, buddy.

His coach, Ockert Christensen

said, JPs injurywas a shock to us

all and no-one likes to see some-

thing like that happen to a school-

boy. JP is a talented player and a

popular boy amongst his friends.

Theschoolhasbeen incontactwith

JP and his family and we wish him

well with his recovery.

Donkerwolke hang bo Boland Rugby

Die onlangse bewerings vanwedstrydknoei-

ery blyk nie die enigste kopseer te wees

waarmee die Boland RugbyUnie (BRU) tans

sukkel nie.

Paarl Post het verlede week berig dat n

klag van korrupsie teen die nuwe president,

Ivan Pekeur, gel is.

By die onlangse algemene jaarvergade-

ring het humeure kwaai opgevlam. Die pre-

sident, Ivan Pekeur, wat in Junie aangestel

is, het by die vergadering as voorsitter van

die ontbinde direksie opgetree.

Volgens die president het die BRU gewel-

dig baie geld gemors in die vorige finansile

jaar.Daar is ondermeerglomeerasR500 000

aan spyseniering bestee, en n peperduur

Hyundai motor wat gekoop is, word skaars

gebruik.

Daar word ook beweer die spysenier Ho-

banJantjies,hoofafrigterAbeDavidsenper-

soonlikeassistentAntheaJantjies hetalmal

hulposteweensbeweerdenepotismebekom.

Hierdie bewering van nepotisme doen reeds

n geruime tyd die ronde.

Hoban het glo sonder n tenderproses die

spysenieringskontrak gekry. Sy vrou An-

thea het reeds n klag van konstruktiewe af-

danking by die kommissie vir versoening,

bemiddeling en arbitrasie ingedien n haar

onlangse afdanking.

Die direksie vanBolandRugby sou die vo-

rige naweek nnuwedireksie en adjunk-pre-

sident verkies nadat Nigel Samuels verlede

week bedank het.

nDagblad het ookDinsdag beweer dat die

BRUmoontlik in kleiner en beter beheerba-

re unies opgedeel gaan word.

Sowat 60 van Boland se 242 rugbyklubs is

in die Weskus gele. Di streek sal na bewe-

ring in September met BRU vergader waar

die stigting van hul eie onafhanklike unie

bespreek sal word.

Dieselfdeproses is verlede jaar inPretoria

gevolg waarna die Limpopo-Blou Bulle ont-

staan het.

Intussen het die Suid Afrikaanse Rugby-

Voetbal Unie (SARU) vandeesweek bevestig

hulle het n prokureur aangestel om klagtes

vanwedstrydknoeierybyBRUteondersoek.

* Boland Rugby Union is set for some new

challenges as allegations of match fixing and

gross financial mismanagement were recent-

ly made.

Die Drakenstein Sa-

kekamer, in same-

werking met Pink

Trees for Pauline,

gaan gedurende Ok-

tober saam n projek

aanpak ter bewus-

making van alle

soorte kanker vir al-

le mense.

Die plan is om die

bome se stamme in

die strate en omgewing met

pienk materiaal toe te draai

Drakensteinblinkuitmet sportsterre

Dit is duidelik daar is iets in die water van Drakenstein wat net die

beste sportmanne en -vroue oplewer.

Vir baie jare nou het Drakenstein n reputasie van groot geeste op

dierugbyveldwatalopskoolvlakuitblinkenuiteindelikindiegroen-en-

goud uitdraf.

Kyk maar net na di gebied se Springbokke van die afgelope paar

jaar: Jean de Villiers, Gurthr Steenkamp, Juan de Jongh, Schalk Bur-

ger, Cornal Hendricks en Hanre Pollard, ommaar net n paar te noem.

Vandeesweek kon die Paarl weer eens sy kop met trots lig toe die

17-jarigeLaRocheller,GezelleMagerman, uitgeblinkhet enmet n goue

medalje weggestap het, of eerder gehardloop het, by die JeugOlimpiese

Spele in China.

Daar is min dinge soos sport om mense bymekaar te bring. En hier

het ons beslis n gesonde sporttradisie.

Kyk gerusmaar net na die talle interskole- en derby-kragmetingswat

die afgelopemaand in di gebied plaasgevind het. Alles het glad verloop

en almal was trots op hul onderskeie spanne of hulle nou wen of ver-

loor.

Jongmense het sport nodig het omnie net n gesonde leefstyl te hand-

haaf nie, maar ook om lesse van spanbou en veel meer te leer wat hulle

goedsalvoorbereiopdieverantwoordelikhedewathulleinhulvolwasse

lewe sal tekom. Sport bied ook die hoop op n beter toekoms.

September is boomplantmaand;

wanneer en waar het jy laas n

boom geplant?

Dit laat my terugdink aan my

grootword-dorp, Wakkerstroom

opdieTransvaalseHoveld.Myva-

der was n ywerige boomplanter

en die Zoeloes het homMthunzini

genoem: man van die skaduwees.

In die 1940s het ons boorde aan-

gel, en oral is treurwilgers ge-

plant. As sewe-jarige touleier ont-

hou ekdiewilgers se skaduasphu-

mula-tyd aanbreek en ons die

trekosse uitgespan het vir suiping

en om n stonde of so te wei.

Onthou julle hoe ons kinders bo-

meopdie skoolterreingeplanthet?

Toe ek en Lida n paar jaar gelede

by die kinders se vorige laerskool

inBryanstonverbyry,hetons trots

gekyknadiesewebomewatonsge-

plant het by die skool se inwyding.

Doen ons skole dit nog?

Toe ons sewe jaar gelede na die

Paarl verhuis, het

die koors my weer

beetgepak en dit

het my getref dat

ons tradisionele

Engelse eikebome

aan die kwyn is.

Nuwe behuising,

infrastruktuur, en

sosiale, opvoed-

kundigeensakegeriewemoetvoor-

sien word, almal soek grond en

ruimte. As nuwe lid by Draken-

steinErfenisstigtinghetonsyweri-

gevoorsitterLenRaymondmyver-

welkommet: Toe nou, stel vir die

Stigting n beleid voor.

DaaristoebesluitdatdieStigting

en Drakenstein-munisipaliteit die-

selfdedoelwitmoetnastreef. Same-

werking is die sleutel tot sukses:

hulle doen en ons probeer bewust-

heid en sensitiwiteit kweek, help

met idees en haalbare projekte

dis moeilik vir die munisipaliteit

om alleen oor 1 538 km te waak.

Die Stigting stel voor dat slegs

Engelse eike in die historiese kern

vandiedorpenwaarditreedsvoor-

komgeplantword;elders liefsslegs

bome gelys in diemunisipaliteit se

2009 Boombeleidsdokument.

Die afsterf van bome moet so

spoedig moontlik vergoed word en

opvolger-eikebome moet dringend

aangeplant word oral waar ou of

siek eike voorkom. Bomemoet ek-

stensief aangeplant word, veral in

mindergegoedebuurte enby skole.

Teen di agtergrond het die Stig-

ting die noodsaaklik konsep van n

publiek-private vennootskap met

die munisipaliteit van stapel ge-

stuur. Ons ywerige burgemeester

het ons pogings ondersteun omdie

Hoofstraatmeerboomryk temaak.

Diemunisipaliteit sal, waar spasie

en ondergrondse kabels, water/ri-

oolpype en minstens 2,5 m wye sy-

paadjiesdittoelaat,selfbomeplant.

Ongelukkig is sulke plekke be-

perk, maar daar is heelwat benut-

bare spasie op eiendomme wat

grens aan die Hoofstraat. Die mu-

nisipaliteit sal die bome skenk en

die aansoeker sal onderneem om

die bome te plant en versorg.

Die goeie nuus is dat die plan be-

gin momentum opbou.

Albert van der Merwe, parke-

hoofvandiemunisipa-

liteit, s dat in die jaar

tot Junie 2014 n ver-

rassende 4 015 nuwe

bome geskenk en ge-

plant is. Normaalweg

is hul begroting sowat

1 000 bome n jaar, vir

eie rekening. Dit kon

slegs bereikworddeur

diegroothartigeskenkingvan4 000

bome deur die boomkwekery Just

Trees, onder leierskap van Charl

Pretorius. Hierdie meevaller van

Just Trees is oordeelkundig aange-

plant, of verdeel aan gemeenskap-

pe. Ons is op die regte pad.

Die Stigting glo dat 20 000 nuwe

bometeen2025haalbaaris,metvol-

gehouesamewerkingenveraldeur

genoemde vennootskappe dwars-

deur Drakenstein uit te brei n die

bre publiek te bearbei.

Ons ouer garde kan n voorbeel-

dige rol speel deur ons nasate n

boom of twee te skenk en die hele

familie vandeesmaand seremoni-

eel te betrek by die plant daarvan.

Dink aan die ou Griekse gesegde:

Oumans plant bome onderwie se

skadu hulle nie eendag sal sit nie.

Laat dit ons erns wees.

Whycant we trust the system to jail repeatoffenders ?

We have something to share

which on its own is quite worri-

some,as it shinesabad lightonour

legal system

In September 2013 we caught a

burglar in the act. He was already

inthehouseafter forcingawindow

open and was working his way

through the various doors protect-

ed by burglar bars. After a fierce

tusslewearrestedhimandhanded

him over to the police. Our chil-

dren and wives were sleeping in

peace inthehouse .Onthesecurity

video one can see him already in

our washing area inside the main

house.

Aswe investigated thepastprac-

tices of the burglar, we found out

(thanks to helpful police officers)

that he had done it before. We

handed the docket over to the po-

lice, to be put in the new docket to

be handed to the prosecutor.

Toour surprise, thedocket came

to the prosecutor within the next

few days and the burglar was re-

leased on bail of R 500, as he had

noprevious convictions.Hewas

warned to appear again in court

again on a later date.

We lodgedaquerywith thePaarl

SAP after this event for clarity, as

his release was legally impossible

in our book.

They took the matter seriously

and replied as can read below.

The burglar was simply said to

be out on parole, so any new

event should be enough for him to

be held in custody again, and pre-

vious sentences would then be im-

posed, at least thatwaswhatweas-

sumed.

Although all persons and police

officers who were present during

his arrest in Septemberwere sum-

moned to appear in court, the bur-

glar did not turn up (being out on

amere R 500 rand bail), so the case

was suspended, a warrant for his

arrest was issued and a new date

set.

On the second appearance in

court (the accused was by then in

custody), the burglars lawyerwas

ill, so the case was postponed

again, as his legal representative

needed to be present.

Onthe thirdappearance incourt

the magistrate was ill, and every-

body had to return home again to

wait for the fourt appearance,

which was set for August 5, 2014.

After some backroom discussion

between his legal representative

and ourselves while waiting for

the hearing, the burglars legal

representative advised his client

to plead guilty, as we had a very

strong case with a video and pho-

tos, so pleading not guilty would

be prejudicial to him.

The prosecutor joined the same

discussion. We repeatedly asked

him if previous charges had been

noted in the accuseds docket and

whether he knew of this, which he

confirmed more than once.

We did not get our appearance

incourtnordidanybodyaskusan-

ything; we were asked to leave, as

the accused would plead guilty as

charged.

He was found guilty as charged

on August 5. The court demanded

a docket from Pretoria with data

regardingpreviouscases tobecon-

sidered in sentencing him. We

were told the the verdict would be

announced on August 15.

Tooursurprisehewasoutagain,

sentenced to 12 months imprison-

ment suspended for three years.

Judge for yourself what hap-

pened here, as we are in the dark.

We hope our letter will stir some

public interest and (hopefully)

some action from the authorities.

We, the people need to rely on the

system, otherwise what will hap-

pen?

Dieverbruikerse tariefbestaanuit

twee dele, naamlik n vaste maande-

liksebedragennenergiebedrag.Die

vaste maandelikse bedrag van die

koopkrag ekwivalent het gestyg met

33% .Die energietarief het nie gestyg

nie. Dit is gedoen omdie tariewe van

koopkrag en konvensionele krag vir

huishoudelikegebruikersdieselfdete

maak. Sodoende is konvensionele

meters se vaste tarief met 0% op ter-

wyl die energietarief met 10% op is.

Dit beteken dat die konvensionele

meter en die koopkragmeter se tarie-

we nou dieselfde is. Konvensionele

meters word uitgefaseer en binne die

Drakenstein-munisipaliteit gebruik

reeds 60% van alle huishoudings

koopkragmeters. Alle nuwe huise en

nuwe aansluitings word toegerus

met koopkragmeters.

Dit is ook belangrik om te let dat

daar 17 verskillende huishoudelike

tariewe binne die munisipaliteit is.

wat dit is in die 2014/15 finansile

jaar teenoor R90 basies en R1,18/

Elkeen van die 17 tariewe verskil en

het ten doel om die verbruiker te be-

voordeel in die gebied waar hy die

Gawie Marx (48) is in November 1997

het hy hom by n tennisklub aangesluit. Met

die hulp van n afrigter het hy hom op die

nasionale oorplantingspele, wat in 2000 in

Kaapstad aangebied is, voorberei.

Ek moes hard werk om my spiere sterk

te kry.

Marx is vir die nasionale oorplantingspele

in Kaapstad gekies as lid van n span van 20

tingspele in Japan verteenwoordig het.

Hierna het hy Suid-Afrika weer in 2003 in

In 2006het hy en syvrou, Sonika, die knoop

deurgehaak en twee jaar daarna het hulle be-

sluit om met n gesin te begin.

Hulle het vir in-vitro-behandeling gegaan,

byna 11 jaar nadat Marx sy sperm laat vries

het.

Marx vertel voor sy chemoterapie het sy

dokter, prof. Peter Jacobs na hom verwys as

Dr. Sperm.

Dit gaan nie maklik wees nie, maar al-

Drakenstein Municipality was interrupted,

but not due to unscheduled load-shedding.

da Substation to the Retief Street substation

spread disruption in Paarl North.

Thepowerwas restored later thatmorning,

but due to bad weather repairs could only be

done in August.

beat stuttering

TANDYLEE MARINUS

Stuttering: A speech disor-

der whereby the flow of

speechisinterruptedbyanin-

voluntary repetition of

words.

Chris Meintjies (37) and

Michael Lyons (18) from Paarl

share thisnotuncommoncondi-

tion andhave tackled their fight

against stuttering as a team.

They have been helped in

their efforts by the McGuire

Method,aprogrammeofferedin

over10countries. Itwasbrought

to SouthAfrica in2002byChris,

who had encountered it in Lon-

don, where it was first estab-

lished.

Since that time, the programme

has helped more than 200 people in

SouthAfrica to overcome stuttering,

transforming them into articulate,

well-spoken people.

Although there is no permanent

cure for stuttering, those who suffer

from it do reach a point where it can

be controlled until it is no longer an

embarrassment.

Chris and Michael both stuttered

from a very early age and have tried

every possible remedy.

It is especially bad at school level

and when you have to do an oral in

front of the class. I am very shy to

speak,becauseImneversureofwhat

to say. Some people might show un-

derstanding when you speak with a

stutter, but others will laugh,

Michael says.

He has made use of various types

ofmedicationtocontrolhisspeaking,

and first became aware of the pro-

gramme after reading an article

about someone with a similar condi-

tion.

For Chris, stuttering was not such

a big issue during his school years,

but his insecurity grew during his

tertiary studies.

I realised that I would have to do

presentations with clients and talk

duringmeetings. I constantly tried to

avoid these, he says.

The two,whoarebothgraduates of

this programme, agree that stutter-

ing is as debilitating as any other

physical condition.

You sometimes feel suicidal, but

people need to realise that there is

hope, says Chris.

The McGuire course only lasts

three to four days and makes use of

breathing exercises with the assist-

ance of a speech thera-

pist. Supportgroupsand

refresher courses help to

maintain its therapeutic

effects.

Chris explains that the

stutter does not magical-

ly disappear when com-

mencing with the pro-

gramme, but that prac-

tice in using the right

technique is the key to

success.

Peoplewhowant tobe

successful will do any-

thing, but theyneed to be

prepared. They should

not be scared of the opin-

ions of others, says

Chris.

Michaelstill findsitdifficulttocon-

trol his stutter. I ammuchmore re-

laxed, but I have anxious moments;

I still get nervous when reading in

front of the class, but then everyone

has their bad days.

Reading aloud for 10 minutes and

doingbreathingexercisesduringfree

time is a ritual they both practice. It

allows them to get into the rhythmof

speaking fluently.

Thenextprogramme(afour-dayin-

tensive course) for new students

takes place on 2-5 October at the

RuslamereGuestHouse, CapeTown;

a follow-up refresher daywill be con-

firmed there.An intensive course for

graduateswill takeplacefromThurs-

day 20 November to Sunday 23 No-

vember. For more information visit

Programmeshapes students for the future

The first group of students, part

of a pilot project aiming at help-

ing unemployed youth in the

Franschhoek area, recently com-

pleted their short learning pro-

gramme.

According to project leader, Paul

Hoffman, theobjectiveof theproject

was to deliver training and work-

based learningopportunities toase-

lected 26 young adults in the Fran-

schhoek area.

The programme started as part of

a school support initiative to six

schools in Franschhoek, sponsored

by the Rupert Foundation, as a con-

tribution to coordinatingapathway

through creating opportunities for

unemployed matriculants and

school leavers to improvetheir lead-

ership skills and experience in a

working environment.

Africa Skills FET College in

George launched the pilot pro-

gramme in Franschhoek in April

2014.

Aspart of the first phase, students

completed two NQF programmes -

Bright Star Personal and Leader-

ship Development, an NQF level 4,

consisting of three modules Bril-

liant Self, Brilliant Relationships

and Brilliant Leadership, and a

NQF level 1, Debt Savvy, which

taught students to apply personal

money management principles.

They also had to submit their

portfolio of evidence for both pro-

grammes, in accordance with the

accreditation requirements of the

Seta. They further attended a work-

shop which assisted them in how to

compile a detailed curriculum vi-

tae, tips on how to perform at work,

how to conduct themselves in the

workplaceandprofessionalismand

goal setting.

The second phase of the pro-

gramme entailed the placement of

the learners in a work place for an

internship period of maximum

three months. Interviews and psy-

chometric tests were conducted

with every student, determining

their fields of interest. Based on the

results fromboth interventions, the

learners were placed with willing

host employers.

Arisha Willemse from Paarl was

placed at Wellington Bejaardesorg

whereshespentthreemonthslearn-

ing more about nursing.

Inever thoughtofnursingbefore

this, but it was a great experience

and I would like to take it further.

Arisha said at this point she is

looking at institutions where she

can enrol for next year to begin her

studies towardsanursingqualifica-

tion.

Shauneton Marsh from Welling-

ton said his mother motivated him

to apply for the programme after

hearing about it from a colleague.

To him, the programme taught

him a lot about himself, groupwork

and how to function in a work envi-

ronment.

For his practical he was placed

with Peninsula Beverages (Coca-

Cola) where he spent six month

working as a general worker on a

contract basis and learning more

about the industry and working in

a group. It was an eye opener for

me. I learned what I am capable of.

Shauneton said he is now consid-

ering a career in the technical in-

dustry.

Die dwergboompies bekend as bonsai

komop Saterdag 30Augustus in die kollig,

wanneerledevanBolandBonsaienbelang-

stellendes in Stellenbosch se botaniese

tuin vergader.

Twee meesters op die gebied, Thys Klem en

Hennie Nel, gaan dan belangstellendes meer

komleervanmams.Hierdie isnoudiewerkli-

ke klein bonsais en n onderdeel van die kate-

gorie shohin-bonsai,wat basies npalmgrootte

bonsai is.

Di kategorie word onderverdeel in mam,

wat tussen vyf en sewe cm hoog is, en shito,

wat letterlik so groot soos n vingerhoed of jou

duim is.

Hierdie kategorie word dikwels afgeskeep,

omdat groter bome altyd diemeeste aandag op

n skou trek. Dis egter n pragtige kunsvorm

wat net deur jare se werk en noukeurige aan-

dag aan detail gevormword . Omhulle aan die

lewe te hou, is reeds n prestasie.

Senior klublede sal ook bome bespreek en

raad aan beginners gee.

Die vergadering begin om 09:00. Bring julle

eie mams saam en sommer ook staanders,

want net om hulle uit te stal is al n kuns
