Bot River stands up against ongoing crimeANNETTE THERON

Efforts by Bot River residents tokeeptheircommunitysafecontin-ued last week with the establish-ment of theBotRiver CommunityPolicing Forum.

According to Michael Jeffree, acommittee member and also head ofthe Bot RiverNeighbourhoodWatchmobileunit,about60peopleattendedthe firstmeeting onTuesday 22 July,“which shows the concern aboutcrime in our community”.The forum plans to meet with po-

lice representatives once a monthunder the umbrella of the CaledonCommunityPolicingForum, in abidto address residents’ concernsaround crime. At this stage it ap-pears that petty theft is one of the bigconcerns.“Seven burglaries in Bot River in

the last twoweeks have led to one ar-

rest. And people are hungry,” saysJeffree, explaining that inonebreak-in at the Bot River Primary Schoolonly food was stolen. “All they stolewere rice and tins of fish. Therewerealotofcookingutensilsbut theystoleonly the food.”Crime in Bot River has received

wide coverage this year and the vic-timsofonemoreserious incidentarestill dealing with the trauma.Barbara Townsend says the after-

math of an attack that happened onGoodFridaywasalmostasbadas theattack itself. One of her daughterswent for a walk with her baby, six-year-old nephew and a teenage Ger-man exchange student through theBeaumont forest when they were at-tacked. “They took the twodogswiththem and went up to the pine foreston theBeaumont land behind theEs-kom houses.” At one point the boyand the teenager had to fetch a leashthey forgot, when a young, slightly

built man appeared and tried to en-gage in conversation before thrust-ing a long stick across the student’sthroat and pulled her down into thebushes alongside the path.Theattackermadeoffwitha smart

phone after the boy had startedscreaming. “The lives of two youngpeople have been altered forever,”Townsend says. The young boy’sgreatest thrill used to be his visits toBot River and to go walking in theforest with his grandfather and thedogs. But after the attack he refusedto return to the forest, he started get-ting nightmares, and is now afraidof the dark. He also battles to focusin the classroom. “By day, when heplays, he now plays games wherepeople are all armed to ward off at-tacks by robbers. At night he fre-quently wakes up screaming due tothe nightmares.”Townsendsaid the teenagegirlhas

become very withdrawn. “She is in

complete denial about the attack anddoes not talk about it.”Townsend says her vision of a

charmedcountry lifehasbeencloud-ed. “Perhaps crime is the reality inSouth Africa, but do we have to ac-cept it?”She says residents must support

those who are trying to keep neigh-bourhoods safe. “In this regard I amreferring to our neighbourhoodwatch and to our sense of communi-ty, of looking out for our neighbours.Thisgoeshand inhandwithsupport-ingourcommunity in termsof chari-ty. That’s the way we build a strongcommunity, with supporting thepeople in this village financially andsocially.”* Aman fromBot River is also sus-

pected to be involved in a spate of re-centhomeinvasionsinFisherhaven.“Four men are involved in house in-vasions in the area, which started attheendofJune.Theirmodusoperan-

di is to target people who are relax-ing,” says a resident of Fisherhavenwho wishes to remain anonymous.The four home invasions resulted

in a stabbing and one couple wereforced into their bathroom at knifepointby fourmenwhostole electron-ic goods.Here the community’s reac-tion resulted in the establishment ofa WhatsApp group.“We are looking out for one anoth-

er and it has brought the communitycloser together.”Capt. Gerrit Botes confirmed that

one of the suspects in the Fisher-haven house robberies is from BotRiver and that he is currently in cus-tody. His bail hearing is on 30 July.The police will oppose bail and theinvestigation is still ongoing.Botes also confirmed that a man

was arrested in connection with thehousebreaking in Bot River. “He ap-peared incourt lastweekandwill ap-pear again on 4 August.”

Ruiters stroom na SuidpuntORA LAUBSCHER

Bredasdorp het die afgelope na-week (Vrydag 25 Julie tot Sater-dag 26 Julie) vir die derde agter-eenvolgende jaarperdeenruitersvan oor die hele wêreld hier aandie Suidpunt verwelkom vir dieTip of Africa-uithourit.

Virdiedeelnemersaandie160 km-uithourit wat Saterdagoggend om03:00 weggespring het, het ’n beson-der vroeë en koue opstaan gewag.

Individue en spanne wat vir dieander afstande ingeskryf het, het ef-

fens later aan die beurt gekom.By geleentheid van die heel eerste

Tip of Africa-uithourit wat in 2012 hieraangebied is, het die organiseerdersdaarop gesinspeel dat hierdie besonde-re uithourit “die potensiaal het om ’nwêreldklas geleentheid op die interna-sionale perde-uithourit-kalender teword”.

Hierdie voorspelling is dan ook be-waarheid toe daar by die prysuitde-lingsgeleentheidSaterdagaand26Julieaangekondig is dat die wêreld-beheer-liggaam vir alle perdesport-items, FEI,wat staan vir Federatione EquestrianeInternasionale, aangekondig het dat

die Suid-Afrikaanse DrienasieKampioenskapsbyeenkoms tus-sen Suid-Afrika, Botswana en Na-mibië in 2016 op Bredasdorp aan-gebied gaan word.

Langs hierdie weg word diestreek se trotse “perde-tradisie”,wat al in die negentiende eeu ge-vestig is toe rasegte perde op

Nachtwacht en op ander omliggendeplase geteel is, voortgesit.

Die ruiters en hul perde het juisonderweg by een van hierdie plase– Prinskraal – aangedoen.

Daar is perde en ruiters gemonitorvoordat hulle op die volgende beenvan die strawwe uithourit vertrekhet.

Lofprysing –Lofprysing –kragtige wapenkragtige wapenOns gesels nog steeds oor die wapens wat Godvir Sy kinders gegee het. Hierdie week praatons oor lofprysing. In 2 Kron. 20 lees ons hoeGod lofprysinggebruikhetomIsrael sevyandeteverslaan.Dievolkmoesniefisiesindiegevegbetrokke raak nie, maar het opdrag gekry omGod te prys en toe hul dit doen het Hy self dievyandvernietig. Vandag is ons vyandniemen-se nie, want ons stryd is nie teen vlees en bloednie, maar teen die bose geeste in die lug.Dit is juis die krag in lofprysing wat die dui-wel so vrees, daarom sal hy sy bes doen om diekinders van die Here te keer om nie die Herete prys nie. Neh. 8:11 sê dat die blydskap vandie Here ons beskutting is. Wanneer ons dieHere prysmet opregtheid enmet ons heleweseworddaar ’nkragvrygestelwatvreesaanjaendis vir die Duiwel en hy vlug van ons weg.Of jy dieHere prys by jouhuis of oppadwerktoe, of daar waar jy in die veld gaan stap, dithet ’nuitwerkingop jouhelewese endit veran-der jougemoed inso ’nmatedat jydieblydskapen vreugde van die Here ervaar. Lofprysingkan jou uit ’n staat van depressie vat na ’n plekvan oorwinning. Daar is verskillendemanierevan lofprysing – jy kan lofliedere sing, jy kandie Here met woorde prys, m.a.w. jy maak SyNaam groot en jy kan dans voor Hom terwyljy Sy grootheid besing, ens.Dawid was ’n lofpryser en die Bybel sê hywas ’n man na aan God se hart. Die Here vindbehae in ons lof en Hy seën ons wanneer onsHom met opregtheid prys. Terwyl ons Homprys is ons ook besigmet geestelike oorlogvoe-ring. Hierdie is een van die geestelike wapenswat jy maar kan uittoets, dit werk uitstekend.Mag jy hierdieweek die blydskap van dieHereervaar. Seënwense.PASTOOR GERT VISSER, Caledon Christen-sentrum

Seeing things as they are, rather than as they ought to beMy fiercest literary critic is my son; I sendhim some of my writings and after readinga few of the more recent ones, he accusedmeof manifesting growing “cynicism”.In defence I maintain that I have tried to

exculpatemyself in the past by quoting a fewopinions about the term and its origins.I have mentioned a few definitions, of

which I think two define the outer edges ofthis term:Acynic is someonewhosees thingsas they are, rather than as they ought to be;one who knows the price of everything andthe value of nothing.Themost strikingexamplesof cynicismoc-

cur inthesportingworld,especially insoccerand rugby.The recent soccer World Cupagain showcasedhowprofessional anddelib-erate this practice has become. I refer ofcourse to that practice known as “diving”;every TV rerun of one of these theatrical col-lapses, followed by metres of tumbling, fol-lowedbysimulated(andshort-lived)“agony”confirmmy suspicions that professional soc-cer is in essence a deceitful business.

A second type of cynicism is thatwhich theNew Zealand teams especially implement toperfection: the “involuntary” infringementthat incurs a penalty kick rather than thethreatened try; the equally “involuntary”bodily obstruction or jersey jerk that pre-vents a defender from tackling the ball carri-er.It goes beyond my understanding that acountry that has the best rugby players onthe planet (until such time as Martian colo-nists start playing the game seriously) findit necessary to stoop so low. I recently sawa European referee yellow-carding and pen-alty-tryingsomeAntipodeanteams,but I sus-pect his prospects of blowing another test areremote.That then the first definition: the secondis more challenging, but I will attempt an ex-ample from the murky world of art dealing.The auctioneer that inflates the price ofpaintings to dizzying heights (mainly by us-ing ghost bidders) may be an expert when itcomes to prices; his chance of estimating the

elusive yet intrinsic “value” ofthatwhich he is trading thoughis at best incidental.A term hovering near cyni-cism is “scepticism”, which iseasily defined as that kind ofcaution that restrains one froman action until it is clear thatit might be prejudicial. In buy-ing a used car most peoplewould consider it extremelyfoolish to hand over cash untilthe car has been driven a dis-tance – sensible scepticism, notso?Irecentlyconcludedjustsucha transaction and it was touch-ing to see the interplay of emo-tions on the face of the seller when I refusedhis invitation to first drive the car.“I trust you,” I said. A bit cruel, becausethe little it cost me to fix the unmentionedfaults was trivial in comparison with whatthissemi-decent(localpolitician)wouldhave

had to digest in his conscience (assuming, ofcourse...)Pity those who do you harm, say the Bud-dhists; the damage they do to themselves isfar worse than yours.– [email protected]

Goodie bag for mothersSince April this year Western Cape Gov-ernmentHealth has been bringing a smileto the faces of new mothers.

Every mother who delivers her baby at adistrict hospital or community day clinic(CDC) in the Overberg district receives a freegoodie bag which contains a wash cloth, barof soap, disposable nappies and aqueouscream. The bag has two pockets in the frontin which to put the Road to Health card.Western Cape Government Health decided

to start this initiative in theOverberg districtwhen it became apparent that many mothersarrive at hospital without any toiletries forthemselves or the baby and this led to someunhygienic practices.Western Cape Government Health immedi-

ately started the process of distributing thesegoodie bags to new mothers, to ensure thatthey no longer have unhygienic routines.The first year of a baby’s life is extremely

important in terms of health and develop-ment, and not following the correct hygienicmethods can put the baby at risk for many ill-nesses like diarrhoea.

The fact that the Road to Health card fitsperfectly into the front pocket of the bag alsoensures that mothers will be able to carry itwith them conveniently.TheRoad toHealth card is an extremely im-

portantdocumentbecauseit is theinstrumentdoctors and nurses use inmeasuring a child’sdevelopment, and indocumenting that immu-nisations are up to date.Thus far2 751goodiebagshavebeendistrib-

uted and plans are to have a total distributionof 3 500 bags by the end of the year.AliceJoseph,whodeliveredherbabyatCal-

edon Hospital on 10 July said: “This bag is averygoodidea fromtheWesternCapeGovern-ment. Many mothers cannot afford to buy ababy bag so this bag helps them a lot.“The bag can also be used for a long time,

even whenmothers go to the clinic with theirbabies or when they go out. I’m very pleasedwith the bag.”Western Cape Government Health would

like to remind all mothers to use the goodiebag to ensure that they always have their ba-by’sRoadtoHealthcardwiththemwhenvisit-ing any health facility.

Ovies steeds boaan liga-leerERIEKA ROUX

Ondanks die feit dat die Over-berg-klusterpolisiespan Woens-dag 18 Junie op die rugbyvelddeur die Paarl-klusterpolisie-span geklop is, is die Overber-gers steeds boaan die punteleer.

Overberg se spelers het diewedstryd in gietende reën net-

netverloor toe ’n strafskop indiedoodsnikke van die wedstrydhulle gekelder het. Die Over-berg-afrigters was baie tevredemet hul span se vertoning.

Hulle was verlede jaar diewenners in die Polisie-liga en isvan mening dat hulle vanjaarweer die beker huis toe kanbring.

Cricket pitch for Bot RiverMARK TOWNSEND

The month of July has been criti-cal in terms of getting cricketstarted in Bot River. Since it wasformedinFebruary, theBotRiverCricketClub (BCC)hasheldmanydiscussions with the authoritiesand potential sponsors about es-tablishing a cricket pitch.

Eventually, it was agreed as a tem-porarymeasure toconstructagravelpitch on the Bot River sportsfield onthe strip between the rugby and soc-cer fields. Steyns Transport & Brick-works at Salandra kindly agreed tosupply 22 m³ of koffieklip gravel forthe construction of the pitch, andTheewaterskloof Municipalityagreedtohelpbyexcavatingandroll-ing the pitch. The pitchwas complet-edWednesday16July,withaddition-al labour provided by club membersand keen youngsters.

On Friday night 25 July the BCCwas formallyaccepted into theSouthBoland league of Boland CricketBoard (BCB), after three club mem-bers (Cecil Afrika – chairman, MarkTownsend – secretary, and Clive Ad-ams – club captain) drove to BolandParkAcademyinPaarl topresentthecase forBotRiver’s acceptanceat theBCB AGM.

Afrika’s oral presentation waswell received by the BCB memberclubs, with one of the senior Bolandcricket officials remarking that thiswas an “old school” pitch. In the olddays, most cricket pitches in Bolandweregravelpitcheswithamatcover-ing. Today, the gravel pitches havemostly been converted to concreteslabs with synthetic covering or toturf pitches. So the new gravel pitchatBotRiver is quite rare. The reasonfor the gravel pitch is that it is cheap-er and quicker to construct than a

concrete or turf wicket.However, over themedium term it

is hoped that a turf pitch will be es-tablished inBotRiver alongwith thecompleteupgrade of the sports facili-ties. Although amat has been donat-ed to theclub,unfortunately thismatis a bit too small formatches.Discus-sionswithsponsorsandBCBarecur-rently under way with regard to ob-taining a larger mat.

Now that the Bot River CricketClub has been registered withBoland Cricket Board, it means thatthe BCC will be playing matches inthe South Boland league on Satur-days during the 2014-’15 cricket sea-son, which begins in October. Theclub also plans to join the Sundayleague.

A cricket festival is being plannedfor Hawston and Bot River for Sep-tember, with cricket matches beingplayed by all ages. Great interest incricket has been shown by the chil-dren, youth and adults of Bot River,

and the club is very grateful for thedonations that various sponsorshave made. Bot River PrimarySchoolisalsoverykeentooffercrick-et at school, and the club has agreedto assist the school in this regard.

Although the latest developmenthas caused great excitement withinthe town of Bot River, it is importantto bear in mind that the BolandCricket Board is planning to upskillcricketatall levels inthewholeOver-berg region. Omar Henry, CEO ofBoland Cricket Board, has plans fora road show to the Overberg to bringall the local clubs andmunicipalitiesonboard.As the firstnon-whiteplay-er toplay forSouthAfrica inthemod-ernera (hisdebut forSAwas in1992),Henry iswidely respected in cricket-ing circles.

We trust that widespread supportfrom cricket clubs in the Overbergwill result inmuch-needed coachingclinics and support to improve thelevel of cricket played in the region.
