Die polisie het vandeesweek bevestig dat hulle in geen stadium oor inligting beskik het om te bevestig dat Luis de Faria (42) van Bellville op 12 Junie op die R300-brug gekaap is nie. Kapt. Frederick van Wyk van die polisie se provinsiale kantoor het gister aan Tyger- Burger gesê dat daar wel ’n selfmoordbrief in De Faria se voertuig, ’n silwer Opel Zafira, gevind is. Dié inligting is nie vroeër bekend gemaak nie. Liggaam De Faria se liggaam is op die betrokke dag onder die brug gevind, waarna verskeie dag- blaaie in Kaapstad eers berig het dat hy vol- gens onbekende ooggetuies deur ’n vriend gestoot is ná ’n vurige woordewisseling. Later in dieselfde week het nog ’n dagblad berig dat hy deur twee mans gekaap is en oor die brug gegooi is. Die polisie het dit in daar- die stadium nie bevestig nie. Twee mans is die volgende dag in Kimber- ley aangekeer in De Faria se voertuig en ge- arresteer vir die besit van gesteelde goedere. Hulle is later deur plaaslike speurders on- dervra, maar kon volgens Van Wyk geen ver- dere lig op die dood van De Faria werp nie. Bevestig Die polisie het verder bevestig dat ’n na- doodse verslag aangedui het dat De Faria dood is aan veelvoudige kopbeserings. Die mans het later in die Kuilsrivier-land- droshof verskyn vir die bogenoemde klag- tes. Die polisie vermoed geen verdere mis- daad nie. Volgens Leon Brynard, voorsitter van die Brackenfell-gemeenskapspolisieforum, is dit gerustellend om te weet dat daar immers nie ’n kaping in Brackenfell plaasgevind het nie, ondanks die hartseer dood van De Faria. Inwoners van die noordelike voorstede was geskok oor die moontlikheid van ’n kaping in hul omgewing. “Dit was van die begin af baie vreemd dat ‘kapers’ juis daardie plek op die R300-oprit sou kies om ’n motor te kaap,” sê hy.

Bellville police members have reason to beproud, after scooping up three prizes duringthe recent Provincial Prestige Awards.Bellville station commissioner Brig Shar-
onGovender and the finance officewere rec-ognised as runners-up in their respectivecategories, while the crime prevention unit(CPU) obtained a third position.Although Goodwood police station’s com-
mander, Col HansiaAsaramwas named Sta-tion Commissioner of the Year, Bellville po-lice is the number one Brigadier-led stationin the province.At the awards held inPinelands, hosted by
Lt Gen Arno Lamoer, Western Cape provin-cial commissioner, Govender was namedthe runner-up in theWomen’sNetwork cate-gory, while the finance office was also run-ners-up. This award is based on how thecluster is run financially.Bellville’s crime prevention unit obtained
a second place.“We were very humbled that Bellville po-
lice station received three awards,” saidGovender.The awards were made based on perform-
ances during the previous financial year.“Whether we came first or were never
nominated, we are all winners if you look atthe big picture. Everyone from the supportoffices to the detectives is involved and thatis what leads to convictions,” Govendersaid.She said Bellville police made many in-
roads with initiatives at the station.TheThulaThula room, an extension of the
Victim Support Room, that was opened atthe station at the end of last yearwas Goven-der’s initiative. It was the first of its kind tobe opened at a police station.Govender said the provincial office re-
ceived very few queries, if any, over the pastfinancial year.She said during the previous financial
year, Bellville police had to revisit the draw-ing board. “We were challenged by the com-munity. Every time the community putdownanewchallengeonourdesks,wewant-ed to improve our service.Wewere constant-ly looking at how we could do things better.This award didn’t happen by chance,” saidGovender.She said the CPU award is one that stands
out. “These members would not sleep untilthey had achieved what they set out to do,even if that was in the wee hours,” she said.

Vroue glo uit geld verkulSTEFAN PIEK EN TINA BURGER
Twee vermeende swendelaars wat hul-self as deskundiges op die gebied vanskoonheidstegnologie voordoen, ver-
kul mense glo wyd en syd met beloftes oorgoedkoop opleiding.Vier vroue van die noordelike voorstede
het TygerBurger genader oor hoe hulle ver-lede jaar na bewering uit duisende randeverkul is. Hulle het besluit om na vore tekom nadat dit duidelik geword het dat ver-skeie ander mense dieselfde nare ondervin-ding gehad het.Die ontnugterde groep het ook hulle grie-
we gelug op www.hellopeter.com, ’n web-tuiste waar verbruikersklagtes gepubliseerword, sê JennyHartslief, ’n skoonheidskon-sultant wat ook na bewering ingedoen is.Die skynonderneming “The Beauty Plat-
form” is glo uit Plattekloof Glen bedryf.Die onderneming het ’n baie aanloklike
verfrisserskursus vir skoonheidstegnici opverskeie sosiale platforms, en selfs in Ty-gerBurger geadverteer.
VerkoopsfoefiesHartslief sê dat verkoopsfoefies soos belo-
wende promosies en beloftes van afslag ophul studiegeld hulle verlei het. Die kursus-geld het gewissel tussen R2 000 en R15 000.Die klasgeldemoes in die rekening Triple
Threat Wedding Agents betaal word voordie aanvang van die kursus. Die rekeningis glo geopen onder Yolandi Breedt (Mit-chley se dogter), volgens ’n bankstaat watHartlief aan TygerBurger verskaf het.Hartslief sê sy was van die begin af agter-
dogtig. “Daar was byvoorbeeld geen was-bak vir die opwas van haarknipsels nie,asook geen toerusting beskikbaar nie,” ver-tel sy.Maar Hartslief wag steeds vir haar geld.Die onderneming het glo ’n bestaande
webblad en Facebook-profiel gehad waarhulle beweer hulle word deur die Internati-onal Nail and Skincare Accreditation Bodygeakkrediteer.Tegnici wat aansoek gedoen het vir die
kursus was onder die indruk dat hulle tedoenhetmet ’n geakkrediteerde opleidings-instansie. Die kursus het op Donderdag 1November 2012 afgeskop en sou glo drie we-ke duur.Maar selfs ditwasnet ’n leë belofte.Christina Kleinhans, ook ’n slagoffer, be-
vestig dat Mitchley haar geld sou terugbe-taal.
UitstaandeKleinhans sêmeer asR18 000 is steeds uit-
staande en dat die sertifikaat wat sy ont-vang het, vervals is. “Ek het hulle probeerkontak, maar geen antwoord gekry nie.Daar is aan my gesê dat Mitchley se pa aankanker ly en dat hul Somerset-Wes toemoetgaan.” Kleinhans het nog nie weer vanMit-chley gehoor nie.Die egpaar verantwoordelik vir die soge-
naamde skynonderneming, Maryna Mit-chley en Deon van Niekerk, het die kursusaangebied. Maar hulle het glo die adverten-sie van die onderneming onder hul seun,Nicky, se naam geplaas.TygerBurger het Mitchley verlede week
twee keer gekontak. Met die eerste oproephet Mitchley vrae vermy oor die onderne-ming se adres, wat in Afrikaans geadres-seer is. Daarna het sy beweer sy verstaannie Afrikaans nie en wou nie verder kom-mentaar lewer nie.Hartslief sê sy en haar man, Rohan, het
Mitchley gekonfronteer. Mitchley het nabewering die vrae ontwyk oor waarom dieklasse kortgeknip is asook waarom die no-dige toerusting nie aan die studente beskik-baar was nie.Ná die konfrontasie het Mitchley glo aan
Hartslief gesê dat die onderneming tans on-
der finansiële druk verkeer. Sy het hulle gloverseker datHartslief se geld teen 17 Janua-rie terugbetaal sou wees, wat nog nie ge-beur het nie. Sy het die saak in Februarieby die Goodwood-polisiekantoor en die ver-bruikersklagteskommissie aangemeld,maar sê sy het nie ’n saaknommer ontvangnie omdat die vermeende swendelaars glonie by ’n vaste adres gebly het nie.Ao. Wayne Theunis sê dat daar nooit ’n
saak geopen is nie. “Indien daar nie ’n saak-nommer is nie, is daar nooit ’n saak teendie onderneming gemaak nie,” sê hy.Intussen het nog slagoffers na vore ge-
kom. Andries Pieterse sê op die webwerfhellopeter: “Hulle het so baiemense al inge-doen. Ek is ‘in diens’ geneemas ’n opvoedervir die maatskappy. Maar hulle het R42 000van vier haarkapperstudente gesteel. Diestudente het nooit opleiding of toerustingontvang nie.”

Voices against child abuseJANA BEKKER
Knitted beanies and socks were donated tobabies and children at Karl Bremer by theWestern CapeWomen’s Network last week.
This projectwas held in partnershipwithMonique Strydom’s organisation Matla ABana, whose main aim is to minimise thesecondary abuse children suffer when theyreport crimes perpetrated against them.
Policewomen in the province knitted thesocks and beanies that were distributed tothe hospital.
Soon Tygerberg Hospital will receivetheir share of the beanies and socks.
Sister Karlien Fourie, operational man-ager at Karl Bremer Hospital, said themothers of premature babies weighing be-low 1,8 kg at birth serve as incubators. “Thebabies wear only beanies and socks. Theyare held close to the mother’s heart so themother can feel immediately if the baby’sheart rate is not right,” she said.
Karlien said themother’s body heat regu-lates the baby’s body temperature.V Visit www.tygerburger.co.za for a photo gallery.

Teachers and retired teachers from Rich-wood and Atlantis are dancing their way tofame.
A group of 18 dancers are competing in theofficial World Gymfest for Life event whichlaunches on Thursday, 4 July.
With only a few days left to practise, thisteam of dancers is diligent and focused.
They practise every Saturday at the Rich-wood community hall and see this opportu-nity as a step closer to their dreams.
They have qualified in a provincial South
African Gymnast Federations competitionwhere they won gold in order to participatein the International Gymfest.
Competing in this unique opportunity isa world-class entertaining gymnastics ex-travaganza according to Doreen Solomons,coach of the Richwood team.
International gymnastic groups from 20countries, comprising 1 500 participants,land in on Cape Town to take part in thisgroup gymnastics contest.
Groups, comprising all ages, both gen-ders, able bodied or disabled, will demon-strate their gymnastic flair through artis-
tic, rhythmic, acrobatic, aerobic, aerial andtumbling movements, performing to theirchosen theme, with or without apparatus.
The Richwood team is doing a Spanishdance dressed in white garments without anyapparatus.
Lorraine Swanepoel dances for the teamand has been an active team member since1995 when she competed in the Western Capedance competition.
“I am very excited about the upcoming com-petition. When I dance I transform myself andforget about the world around me. Dancing isa passion of mine,” she says.
One of the youngest members is PravinGeysenberg. At age 24 he enjoys a challengeand sets goals for himself.
“I enjoy what I do and believe that ourgroup will succeed. One of the dances we dois in collaboration with 250 national provin-cial winners where we will be competing fora world title,” he says.
Michelle Hoffmeester is also competing aspart of the team at the International Gymfest
“for all” competition.She used to do ballet at school and is now
a teacher at Bellville Educational College.“I am nervous about the competition, but
I think all the teams are as well. This compe-tition gives the normal person a chance tocompete at a higher level,” saysHoffmeester.
The team feels they would not have com-peted at this level if it was not due to Solo-mon’s coaching.
“She pushed us to new heights and neverasked us a cent in return,” Hofmeester says.
Groups from Richwood, Blackheath, Bel-har, Belvenie, Elsies River, Kuils River,Wesbank, Northpine, and Kraaifontein willcompete for bronze, silver and gold medalsat the Cape Town International ConventionCentre on 12 July.

Born in Bellville and bred in Durbanville,Benurita Phillips is a living modern dayMother Theresa.
Having grown up in difficult circum-stances, Benurita’s upbringing played amajor role in the person she is today.
She currently resides in Eerste River andoffers shelter to more than 14 children whoshow up on her doorstep daily.
The youngest is two years old.This has encouraged her to embrace acts
of unselfish love and caring, dipping intoher own cupboards and pocket, ensuringthat each and every hungry stomach getsa meal.
“This is how I grew up, I did not have theluxury back then which I have now,” saidBenurita.
She regularly “adopts” children, with thehelp of the police, providing shelter to chil-dren who have strayed from home.
Many have been exposed to the foul andvile nature of drugs and alcohol.
“It’s a heartbreaking sight to see. I canonly be thankful that my own children arenot exposed to this,” she said.
Her house is in a constant whirlwind ofuntidiness and all of the children addressher as “Mom”.
She recalls fond memories of her grand-daughter, Cleo Phillips (6), constantly ask-ing why she is not allowed to play with chil-dren her grandmother allows in the house.
She is hardly influenced by the negativecomments passed by neighbours and pas-sers-by. Cleo however indulges in the richfriendship and mutual companionship sheshares with her gran.
“Children are my weakness,” she said.
Her family, daughter Claudia and son Lu-an are extremely supportive of the gooddeeds which their mother has carried out.
“They accept it, as it is. Sometimes I lashout at them, but they understand becausethis is how they were taught and broughtup,” she says.
Benurita, a former nurse at a private hos-pital in Durbanville endured a life chang-ing experience in 1994, after an accident lefther with a severe shoulder injury and con-stant limp.
The then 17-year-old said: “As the acci-dent happened, I should have been dead,but it has changed my life for good.”
Benurita is a Personal Assistant at theStellenbosch Universiteit Sentrum vir Ped-agogie (SUNSEP).
Her work colleagues chip in by bringingclothes, food and other necessary itemswhich she hands to the children bloomingon her doorstep.
“I want to give others, that which I didnot have when I was a child. To see the facesof the children, is a big enough ‘thank you’for me,” Benurita said.
She was a finalist in theTygerBurger andRadio Tygerberg, Moeders van die gemeen-skap competition.
Her first initial reaction was: “Not whatI expected. It’s not what I wanted, it’s thefaces of the children which is important,”she said.
She acknowledges the impact which un-employment has on parents in the EersteRiver community.
“There is a tremendous need in the com-munity,” she pleads.V If anyone would like to donate food, clothes, orany other goods. contact Benurita on 072 118 6342or 021 808 3483.

The STAG Student Lodge company has re-cently completed its very popular andworld-class student accommodationproject, a pioneering green alternative resi-dence at the University of Stellenbosch’sTygerberg Medical Campus.
According to Michelle Groenewald,STAG maintenance manager, given all thepositive feedback she has received so far,the students seem to be very happy with thenew building.
She says the enviromentally conciousbuilding is more spacious, eco-friendly andthe green element has definitely been wel-comed by students.
Groenewald says the only complaints shehas received about the new student accom-modation were about the energy saving in-duction stove, which has no oven for bak-ing.
According to John Schooling, chief exec-utive officer of STAG Student Lodge, stu-dent accommodation needed a fresh ap-proach that puts the student at the centreof the design process.
He says STAG responded effectively tothe growing demand for a more efficientand cost-effective student accommodationsolution and have made some radical prod-uct innovations to the new residence.
“We wanted an optimal architectural de-sign that ensured every square metre of thebuilding was designed specifically for theneeds of the student,” said Schooling.
“So, we placed the student at the centre
of the design process and for everything wedid, we asked the question: ‘How does thisaffect the student?’”
Schooling says, firstly, the design of theresidences needed to better reflect the stu-dents’ living requirements.
Secondly, he says, they decided that tra-ditional brick and mortar constructiontook too long and was too expensive formost universities.
Schooling says he explored a number ofbuilding methods with two things in mind:it needed to cost less and be time effective.
“Historically, the cost of student accom-modation was very expensive. The nationalnorm is around R240 000 per bed. That wasunaffordable.
“So we looked around for a method thatwas not only cheaper than bricks and mor-tar, but better and which we could apply tothe South African context,” says Schooling.
The company found the answer in light-weight steel structure technology that firstemerged in the 1950s, but is now the domi-nant means of construction worldwide.STAG has been using the technology inSouth Africa for more than five years now.
“We design to what we call a ‘rational de-sign code’ and municipal planning depart-ments have no problem with it. The newresidence at the Stellenbosch University’sTygerberg Campus, which hosts the Facul-ty of Medicine and Health Sciences, took 30days to get through council,” says School-ing.

Inspiring tale of Lucky LucyDESIREÉ RORKE
For Richelle Graham, founder of the LuckyLucy Foundation, there is nothing morebeautiful in life than a severely abused andneglected animal miraculously recoveringto trust human beings again.In fact, for the past three years Richelle
alongwith her employees and volunteers atthe foundation have saved or dramaticallychanged the lives of thousands of destituteanimals in and around Cape Town.A commendable reason for this worthy
foundation to be a beneficiary at this year’sTygerBurger “Cause We Can” charity con-cert, which takes place at the Bellville CivicCentre on 28 July.This concert now in its 11th year, will fea-
ture the likes of Juanita duPlessis, AmandaStrydom, Karen Zoid, Albert Frost, KoosKombuis and many more.It all started in 2010 when Richelle found
a dog tied to a railway line. Trains had goneover her, her leg was severed and she waspregnant.She was rushed to the Market Street Ani-
mal Hospital in Paarl where vets did anemergency operation to try stabilise her.Her mangled right front leg was amputatedbut due to the shock and trauma endured,and theanaesthetic andpainmedicationad-ministered, she lost all her puppies.They named her Lucy, and the newly
formed foundation was named in her hon-our. Since then Lucy has gone through ex-tensive rehabilitation at the Lucky LucyAnimal Shelter, where she slowly adjustedto the amputation.Today she is a very important part of the
Lucky Lucy Foundation’s education drive.She takes trips to schools, so that when
her story is told she can help teach aboutjustice, respect and compassion for all life.The Lucky Lucy Foundation is a non-
profit, pro-life, pro-quality of life organisa-tion that tries to relieve the plight of severe-ly neglected and abused township andstreet animals, but also to socially uplift
and educate destitute and impoverishedchildren and people in and around CapeTown.“Lucky Lucy is an ambassador for the
voiceless. We oppose any form of cruelty toany animal, be it kicking a dog to inhumanemethods of slaughter for human consump-tion,” says Richelle.After three years Richelle stays motivat-
ed to see each and every one of the animalsthey rescue find happiness inwhat she callsa “forever home”.She believes the battle against animal
cruelty and overpopulation in the city canbe won.“My deepest wish is that all like-minded
organisations get together and collaboratebecause only through coalition do I havefaith that it can be done.”Funds and monetary support remain her
biggest challenges, as the foundation staresdown ever-growing vet bills, food bills andstaff salaries. Apart from this, they are con-stantly in need of “adoptive parents” fortheir animals.
“Many people have not yet been reachedto be educated on the effects of backyardbreeding and the facts out there. Peopleneed to know that going to any shelter firstbefore findinga furry companionmight justmean changing the life of that rescued ani-mal forever and there is no better feelingthan that,” she says.They currently have over 180 animals on
the foundation’s farm, ranging from dogsand cats to ducks, chickens and pigs.As Richelle and the team at Lucky Lucy
continues their brave work, her message tothe South African public remains strong.“People should join our network of hun-
dreds of peopleworking tomakeSouthAfri-ca safe andmore humane for all living crea-tures...” she says.Every cent of the proceeds for each ticket
purchased from this organisation for the“Cause we can” concert will go towards theorganisation. Tickets cost R250 and can bepurchased from Kerry-Jean 083 271 8114;Caryn Allen 083 261 4295 or Marcia van Eck081 802 5114.

Die Groter Tygerberg-vennootskap(GTP) is níé ten gunste van die voor-gestelde Boston-beleidsplan nie.Want omsuksesvol tewees indie ver-nuwing van die gebied, kan die ven-nootskap nie ondermyn word deurondernemings in ’n woonbuurt nie.Só sê Tienie le Roux, uitvoerende
direkteur en tussentydse uitvoeren-de hoof van die GTP. Die afgelope tydhet TygerBurger gereeld berig oordie Boston-beleidsplan.“’n Korridor (verbeteringsdistrik)
is net ’n sukses as daar aan weers-kante daarvan sterkwoongebiede be-staan,” sê Tienie.Hy sê die GTP-bestuurspan het
saammet Leonore van derWalt, Bos-ton-raadslid, aan die voorgesteldeplan gewerk en voorstelle van dieGTP is ook in die plan opgeneem.“Hoekomgaanmense terugkomna
die korridor as hulle ’n ondernemingin Boston kan bedryf? Dieselfde geldvir Parow en Goodwood.”Tienie sê wat Boston uniek maak
is die sterk woongebied met ’n kuns-kultuur. “Ander soortgelyke voor-beelde van woongebiede is ’n bewysdaarvan,” sê hy.Hy sêmense neem aan dieMy Citi-
busroete sal uiteindelik Frans Con-radierylaan insluit, maar sover be-kend is dit nog nie bevestig nie.Tienie sê dieGTPbeskou die korri-
dor as ideaal vir massavervoer, ’nopenbare roete waar ’n bus elke paarminute beskikbaar is. “As dít kanplaasvind, sal die korridor regkom,”sê hy.

After all that has been saidand done concerning theBoston Policy Plan, we asBostonians can safely say ourvoice has been heard.
I personally attended thesubcouncil meeting on Friday21 June where CouncillorLeonore van der Walt present-ed her amended proposal of theplan to the council.
I was humbled by herlengthy presentation whichincluded the devastating effectssuch a policy plan would haveon our neighbourhood.
However, this is not to saythe problem has been totallysolved, it still has to gothrough the process at a higherlevel.
Thank you Leonore forlistening to us and takingaction by opposing the plan.
I would also like to acknowl-edge and thank the BostonRatepayers’ Association, whohave fought tooth and nail onour behalf.

If I could speak, I would tellyou that: You can only callyourself a caring human beingif you learn to take better careof your animals.
Dogs are pack animals andsee you as part of their pack,so when you go away for anylength of time it is distressingto us and we howl, cry andpine for your return. It is notenough that someone justcomes to fill our bowls withfood and water daily.
We must be taken for a dailywalk. We must get to know ourneighbourhood so that we mayfind our way back homeshould we get lost someday.
We demand our fair share oflove and attention when youcome home at night.
We can’t speak butwe sure love you
After all, who spent the daysafeguarding your home andpossessions and for what? Nowthat we’re no longer cutepuppies you basically ignore us.
Come on...that’s so selfish. Wealso get bored, just like thekids, and they get to go onoutings. Why not us? It’s notfair.
By the way, did you know wehave started a K9 choir? Wepractise daily while you’reaway and have acquired quite afew new members on the block.
So can we look forward tosome “caring and sharing” likewhen we were pups? Pleezzz.Pleeezzzz? We love you uncondi-tionally. Now you must dowhat’s right.

SLICE OF LIFE
Help our furryfriends livebetter livesThey are man’s best friends and love usunconditionally, yet too often the animalsin our communities are neglected andabused.These animals end up in one of the
many animal shelters who rescue andrehome unwanted and abused animals.The Lucky Lucy Foundation, one of the
beneficiaries of this year’s ’Cause we Cancharity concert, is one such organisation.
The drive to encourage pet lovers toadopt rescues rather than buy pets,remains a difficult one.While The Lucky Lucy Foundation
believes in education and sterilisation,rather than euthanasia, the harsh realityis that the overpopulation of sheltersmeans some animals who don’t find their“forever home” face the risk of beingeuthanised.By adopting a furry companion, you
will be saving a life, and in the process,you might just find yourself changed.There are plenty of studies outlining
the benefits of animals as social andemotional support and according to theResearch Centre for Human/Animalinteraction at the University of MissouriCollege of Veterinary Medicine interact-ing with animals can increase Oxytocin,which helps us feel happy.Of course, there are those of us unable
to offer the space an animal needs, butthat doesn’t mean we can’t help.Small financial contributions and
donations of food and pet products arealways welcome. Every little bit helps toimprove conditions for the animals.

Twee susters van ouer as tagtig, wat tweekeer ’n week Pilates-klasse bywoon, inspi-reer en verstom mede-klasgangers oor wathulle op hul ouderdom steeds kan vermag.
Truda Henning (87) en Annatjie Dijkstra(82) van Bellville, glo om aktief hulle deelte doen om hul gesondheid in stand te housover hul kan.
“Hulle woon die afgelope vier jaar klasseby om hul spierkrag te handhaaf en soepel-heid te bevorder,” sê LizetteOpperman, hulinstruktrise. “Daar is geen keer aan hullevasberadenheid nie. Dikwels moet ek brie-ke aandraai met die nuwe oefeninge wathulle wil probeer,” sê Lizette.
Truda en Annatjie het albei heupvervan-gings gehad, maar laat hulle nie daardeurterughou nie.
Hulle boodskap aan ander bejaardes isom nooit te dink jy is te oud vir iets nie.
“Daar kom dae wat jy swakker voel as an-
der, maar jy druk maar deur en doen watjy kan. Veral as jy dink aan hoe oud jy sougevoel het as jy glad nie geoefen het nie,”sê hulle.
Truda het in 1995 ná ’n heupvervangingbegin oefeninge doen. “Dit is toe vir my solekker dat ek aangehou het,” sê sy.
Annatjie het vir haar vertel van Lizetteen kort voor lank was albei susters deel vandie Pilates-klas.
Lizette sê sedert hulle by haar oefen, hetdie susters geweldig gevorder en vind ver-betering steeds plaas. “Vandag doen hulleoefeninge waarvoor hulle destyds eenvou-dig te bang of te swak was.”
Die susters sê deur die Here se genade salhulle aanhou so lank dit hulle beskore is.
“Ek hoop dit is nog baie jare, want dit isvir my ’n voorreg om in hulle positiwiteit,lewenslus en humorsin te kan deel,” sê Li-zette.

The Afrikaanse Handelsinstituut (AHI)has recently established a Goodwood/Parow chapter in order to serve the busi-nesses in Goodwood and Parow, and theassociated industrial areas of Beaconvale,Goodwood Industria and Parow Indus-tria.
The AHI is a business organisation andchamber of commerce that aims to em-power its members to contribute mean-ingfully to business in South Africa. It al-so initiates support strategies to promotedevelopment in the country through freemarket principles.
The AHI Goodwood/Parow chapterhosted a business breakfast earlier thismonth, during which two presentationswere given by City of Cape Town officials.
Donovan Leeuwendal gave the firstpresentation on the differential electrici-ty pricing tariffs for various types of con-sumers (private users, businesses, smallindustria and large industria).
Philemon Mashoko’s (Director: Reve-nue) presentation focused on water con-
servation and the possible treatment ofwastewater on-site for re-use.
Mashoko said the use of treated effluentfor industrial use was also considered.
Clive Justus, chairperson of Subcouncil4, and Cecile Janse van Rensburg, a wardcouncillor, also attended the breakfastthat was held at the Parow Golf Club. “Wewelcome business expansion in our sub-council and believe that sound economicinvestment will stimulate the growth ofthis area by creating employment and op-portunity,” said Justus.
He reminded those present that the Cityof Cape Town’s application to include se-lected portions of Bellville and Parow intoits Urban Development Zone (UDZ) hadbeen approved by the Minister of Finance,with the validity period for this incentivebeing extended to 31 March 2020.

ple from the community, for which weare most grateful,” she said.The Spectra Foundation is a non-gov-ernmental organisation registered in2007, after the founding members hadbeen involved for four years at their ownexpense with charity work among theneedy, HIV orphans and victims of sub-stance abuse in Durbanville and sur-rounding areas, such as Klipheuwel,Fisantekraal and Philadelphia.“We have also been involved for awhile in a project in Richwood, so theneed is so much greater.“We therefore appeal to anyone withunwanted commodities such as food,clothes, shoes, linen, blankets, curtains,toys, small electrical appliances or any-thing else which can still be used, to con-tact us and we will gladly collect. Any-thing you discard could be worth gold tosomeone else,” she said.V Phone Val on 084 033 6741 or 021 979 2408or send an SMS, including your landline number,to have goods collected.

Keeping an eye on errant taxisThe traffic department has intensified en-forcement approaches at locations close toschools, paying particular attention tomini-buses transporting schoolchildren.As a result, several hundred taxis were
fined and impounded for various offencessince the beginning of the year.This was said by James Vos, De Grendel
Subcouncil chairman, during a recent meet-ing.He said these operations focus on common
violations, such as unroadworthy vehicles,and offences such as reckless or negligentdriving.“The number of offending vehicles is
alarming, considering these vehicles trans-port thousands of people, including chil-
dren, every day,” he said.I believe there needs to be a better regula-
tory framework within the taxi and publictransport industry,” said Vos.The city has a dedicated public transport
unit which investigates all taxi-related com-plaints.This unit is complemented by a taxi ghost
squad teamandmetro police officerswho as-sist with enforcement operations.Vos said officers are vigilant and deter-
mined and will do all they can to keep roadssafe.He said during several operations with
traffic services and law enforcement offic-ers, hehas personally observedmanymotor-ists and minibus drivers wilfully breaking
the law at several locations throughout thewards of his subcouncil.“A no-nonsense approach must be taken.
We are inundated with complaints relatingto the taxi industry, and need to take controlof our streets again by clamping downonun-ruly driving behaviour,” said Vos.He added it was concerning that children
are transported on the back of open vehicles,such as bakkies.“Enforcementwill be tougher and if neces-
sary the drivers of these vehicles will be ar-rested for disobeying the law,” Vos said.V For traffic services, phone 021 596 1999 or0800 65 64 63 for the Transport Information Cen-tre. To report faulty traffic signals phone08600 01948.
James Vos says several hundred taxis werefined and impounded for various offences sincethe beginning of the year.
