DESIRE RORKE
Despite a desperate outcry by re-sidents, the City of Cape Town
re-cently decided that they will notbe erecting a permanent
speedcamera on Okavango Road, bet-ween the N1 and Frans
ConradieDrive.
This, despite the admission by sa-fety and security portfolio
commit-tee chairperson, Councillor CarinBrynard that this road is
used as
a racetrack and needs intensive mo-nitoring.
Application for traffic cameraswas made in August last year
byMaritz van Jaarsveld, who lives inclose proximity to the road,
whileongoing concerns were raisedabout this road.
According to Van Jaarsveld, mo-torists and motorcyclists on a
dailybasis exceed the formal 60km/hspeed limit on the 1km stretch
of ro-ad.
The contempt for traffic rules on
this road is indescribable, and so isthe noise which results
from the ex-cessive speeding, he said in a for-mal complaint to the
Bergdal Sub-council.
In a subsequent email to city offi-cials, Brynard, who is also
the wardcouncillor in this area, requestedtraffic cameras for this
area.
According to Van Jaarsveld, tem-porary speed traps on the road
isnot effective as traffic personnel isvisible from any approach to
thisroad.
In a more recent request, anotherresident, Freddy Erasmus
sharesVan Jaarsvelds sentiment and sta-ted in a separate complaint
to thesubcouncil: It is shocking how mo-torists speed over this
intersection(Frans Conradie and Okavango).There has to be a way to
stopthisWhat I ask is that a perma-nent traffic camera be erected
he-re.
After the initial complaint, speedevaluations were conducted in
Oka-vangoRoadby the city, to be evalua-
ted by the camera review commit-tee. The evaluation meeting
washeld on 19 December, where thespeed survey and accident stats
we-re evaluated.
But according to city official PaulSmith, conditions did not
meet thecriteria for the erection of a perma-nent speed camera, and
the decisi-on was duly communicated to thepublic in mid March.
He did not, however elaborate onthe criteria.. To page 3.

ThePeopleLivingWithCancer (PLWC)Can-cer Buddies organisation has
been ear-marked as one of the beneficiaries in thespectacular Want
ons Kan/Cause we Can!concert.
PLWC Cancer Buddies was established in2000 by Linda Greeff and
Carl Liebenberg,both of whom are cancer survivors.
The organisation develops volunteercounselling guidelines and
support thathelps people who have been diagnosed withcancer.
After a person has been diagnosed withcancer, that is when he or
she needs all thesupport they can get, says Greef.
The aim is to provide support to newlydiagnosed cancer patients
when treatmentstarts, to assist with the initial adjustmentto the
process. This service ensures that acancer patient and their
caregivers have ac-cess to support services near their
treatmentunits. We need them to be cancer survivorsand not cancer
victims.
The organisation offers a buddy supportnetwork where cancer
patients can interactwith and receive advice and support fromcancer
survivors who have a similar profile,disease and treatment
protocol.
She says the importance of support whilelearning to live with
cancer is fundamentalto developing a true cancer survivor ap-
proach.Dealing with each chapter of survival in-
volves more than medical management itrequires attention to your
psychological, so-cial, emotional, spiritual, working and
prac-tical needs as well.
Developing a patient active approachwhich empowers the patient
to take somecontrol over the process and which encour-ages them to
see healing as more that justphysical, is an important outcome the
can-cer buddies tries to achieve.
Greef says talking with someone who hassurvived cancer and has
regained their lifeoffers hope and a sense of empowerment.
Through empowerment comes a positiveattitude, which has a
profound effect on theoutcome of the treatment.
PLWC has branches in the Western Cape,Eastern Cape, Gauteng and
in Mpumalanga.
Currently they are trying to set up supportgroups in all the
small communities such asDelft and Bishop Lavis.
Greef says a challenge they face is fundingwhich is always a
problem.
We are in need of funding and thats whywe are so grateful to be
a beneficiary of theCause we Can! concert. We need to rendera
service to people. We are trying to appointtwo social workers to
assist the people whoneed cancer support in this crucial time.
Anyonewhowould like to assist or join theorganisation can call

DESIRE RORKE
Amidst the outcry and confusion aboutrecent Metrorail fare
increases, RobinCarlisle, minister of transport and pu-blic works
in the Western Cape took atrain from Kraaifontein to Cape Townlast
week to speak directly to strugglingcommuters.
This followed after the eleventh houranouncement by Cosatu and
Metrorail, thatthey have struck a deal to reduce the initi-al
proposed increase of 27 percent, to 13 per-cent as of 1 April.
On22March, after the increase announce-ment, Carlisle requested
Metrorail to adjustthe 27 percent increase to a single-digit
figu-re.
Although there had been no increases infares from2003 to 2010,
the 27 percent increa-se for 2012, added to 2011s 33 percent
increa-se, means that there will be an effective 60percent rise in
fares over just two years,he said after the announcement.
It was at this time that Cosatu and theChamber of Commerce
approached Metro-rail to negotiate a smaller increase.
Carlisle, however, remains unhappy withthe effective increase
and now claims thatin reality it is much more than the intended13
percent, which is why he opted to go and
speak to the commuters last week.Healsowanted toknow
fromMetrorail, Co-
satu and the Chamber of Commerce, whythey were negotiating the
future of CapeTowns commuters behind closed doors, wit-hout a
single elected representative of the pe-ople, or anyone from the
City of Cape Townor provincial government being present.
What I found (during the train trip), isthat in reality fares
have been hiked up to 50percent in some cases, he said in a
statementafter his trip.
He based this on information obtained di-rectly from commuters
he spoke to.
One commuter now pays R359 for hismonthly ticket from
Kraaifontein to CapeTown, a 47 percent increase from R240.
Another now pays R9 for his daily ticketfrom Kraaifontein to
Parow, 20 percent morethan the former R7,50.
Furthermore, a weekly pass betweenKraaifontein to Parow
(Metroplus) now costsR72, 16 percentmore than the formerR62;
andamonthly ticket fromKraaifontein toBellvil-le now R149,50
percent more than the previ-ous R99.
The sense of indignity inflicted on Metro-rail commuters was
upsetting. I would liketo remind Metrorail that most of their
custo-mers are not the kinds of people that have anextra R100 just
lying around in their poc-kets, he said.
According to the minister the reactions ofcommuters at the
ticket counters were up-setting, with many having to ask fellow
tra-vellers to help out with extra money.
Carlisle has indicated that he will be wri-ting to the national
minister of transport toask him to bring down the fares.
Metrorails regional manager Mthuthuze-li Swartz, said that the
ministers action inthis regard is inexplicable.
I already admitted in the media prior tothe ministers trip that
we had made a mista-ke on the system, with regard to the Metrop-lus
prices and that it would be corrected.What he achieved with this
exercise was me-rely to analyse our mistake, he told
Tyger-burger.
.Actual fare increases obtained by theminister from commuters in
other areas:
Vasco to Cape Town monthly, R99 to R115 16 percent increase;
Bellvile to Monte Vista monthly, R97 toR143 47 percent
increase;
Eerste River to Cape Town monthly,R117 to R165 41 percent
increase;
Melton Rose to Cape Town single, R12 toR17 41 percent
increase;
Brackenfell to Cape Town - monthly, R226to R240 6 percent
increase; and
Brackenfell to Maitland monthly, R191 toR221 15 percent
increase.
Minister joins commuters infight against fare increase
. From page 1.In his communiqu to Van Jaarsveld he
stated that the city would however continuewith its mobile speed
enforcement operati-ons on the road
But will this be possible in the face of theacute current
shortage of traffic personnel?This issue was addressed in an
article in Ty-gerBurger on 7 March under the
headline,Verkeersluit-tekort n groot krisis.
You already have limited enforcementcapabilities, how can you
commit to provi-ding adequate monitoring or enforcementnow? It is
just not understandable how youwant to commit people to the
problem,which still dont provide after hours enfor-cement, vs the
implementation of a muchmore effective deterrent and control
meas-ure that even generates revenue and wouldbe a more permanent
solution in the longterm? Van Jaarsveld also requested an
ex-planation as to why the criteria were notconformed to.
In a media enquiry to the city, TygerBur-ger posed several
questions to the city withregard to this issue, but had received
nofeedback at the time of going to press.

Ons leef in n wreld waar baie dinge ver-keerd is. Ek lees nou
die dag 1,1 miljoen huis-houdings in Suid-Afrika se kinders
gaansnags honger slaap. Duisende mense het indie laaste paar jaar
hul werk verloor en daar-deur in n finansile verknorsing beland.Met
die resessie het mense hul huise, motorsen besittings verloor. Dan
isdaar nog baie ander soorte el-lendes wat rondom ons gebeur.
Wie moet hierdie mense by-staan en help? Sal ons dit aandie
politieke en kerklike leiersoorlaat? Natuurlik het hulle
nwaardevolle bydrae te lewer.Dit is egter ook juis politieke
engodsdienstige ideologie enstrukture wat van die grootsteellende,
vervolging en oorlo indie geskiedenis van die wreldveroorsaak
het.
Nee, ons kan dit nie slegs aanhierdie instansies toevertrounie.
Ek en jy het ook n verant-woordelikheid om n verskil te maak.
Ek is n aanhanger van Kenny Rogers semusiek. Het jy al sy
liedjie gehoor: Someoneis Me? Dit handel oor die agteruitgang
vandie woonbuurt en die stad, die vullis in diestrate, die graffiti
teen die mure, oor die sui-nigheid en onsimpatieke houding van
dieryk mense. En dan vra die liedjie wie moetdie goed regmaak wat
verkeerd is. En Kennysing die laaste vers so:
Somebody should do something about it(someone)How hard could it
be?Somebody should do something about it(someone)Maybe that someone
is me
Jy is daardie iemand wat moet regmaak.In jou gesin, in jou
woonbuurt, by die werk.Van die volgende dinge is redes en
versko-nings wat mense aanvoer waarom hulle nien verskil in die
wreld kan maak nie:.Mense dink hulle is nie goed genoeg nie.
Ek is nie die predikant nie, of ek is nie slimof belangrik
genoeg nie. Non-sens. Staan op en steek jou handuit en maak n
verskil.. Sommige mense s dat hulle
nie finansieel sterkgenoeg is omte help nie. Hulle sukkel self
omte oorleef. Hulp gaan egter nienet om geld nie. Jy kan van joutyd
en energie en ander vaardig-hede gee om behoeftiges te help..Dan is
daar diegene so besig
met hulle eie lewe dat hulle nietyd vir ander mense het nie.Daar
is net te veel dinge op hulagenda. Televisie. Rugby.
Sport.Vakansie. Tuinmaak. Lees. Ver-maak. Los eerder die
versko-
nings en maak tyd vir jou naaste.. Bang vir kritiek. Wat sal die
mense s?
Moenie jou steur aan praatjies van mensenie. Spring uit en gaan
tot aksie oor.
In ons land is daar wonderlike mense metruim harte wat n
onbaatsugtige naastedienslewer. Dit is mense wat ons nie oor die
radiohoor, of op televisie sien, of van wie ons indie koerante lees
nie. Dit is mense wat op hulstil en beskeie manier hul hand
uitsteek nahulle in nood en ellende soos engele op aar-de. Staan op
en sluit aan by hierdie groep.Moenie langer wag nie. Jy is die
iemand watdie verskil kan maak.

REYANA STEYN
Its what her mom would have wanted.Thats why a businesswoman
from Brac-kenfell is organising a fundraiser for athree-month-old
girl who is in dire needof a hearing aid.
Jo-Ann Clayton and staff of the ButterfliesUnisex Hair Salon
will be cutting and blow-drying hair on Sunday (15 April) to
raisefunds for Chloe Beyers who suffers frommulti-moderate high
frequency loss of hea-ring.
The idea came about after Claytons mom,Hester Verster (66),
passed away on Tuesday13 March and in rememberance of her,
shewanted to do something special.
When my mom passed away I was devas-tated but I want to do
something to remem-ber her by. I chose 15 April because that isher
birthday. My mom became deaf at theage of 19 and had a cochlear
implant. WhenI heard of Chloe, who is my friends cousinsbaby who
needed an implant, I thought Icould help.
The aim of the fundraiser is to have a cutand blow at a price of
R100 and the moneywill go towards getting Chloes hearing aid.
It is for a good cause and my motherwould be proud. I spoke to
Chloes mom andshe said it would be great if I do this. All ofthe
staff at the salon were excited when Imentioned the project to them
and they weremore than happy to be a part of it.
Charlene Beyers, Chloes mother saysthey are thankful to Clayton
for taking thisinitiative.
I am very grateful that there are still peo-ple willing to help
others. When she told mewhat she wanted to do I was estatic. My
el-dest daughter aged six also has a hearingproblem and when I
heard my youngest alsohad it, it was tough. Medical aid doesnt
co-ver this operation and thats why I was sohappy when Jo-Ann
contacted me and toldme what she wanted to do. It means alot tome
and my family.
The Butterflies Unisex Hair salon is situa-ted in the Glengarry
Shopping Complex andwill be open from 09:00.
For more information call 021 982 8134..

Lede van die Brackenfell-polisie, is vuuren vlam om n verskil te
maak in die lewevan kinders van polisielede wat oorledeis.
Tientalle polisiemanne sterf elke jaar indie uitvoering van hul
pligte, en dikwelsword hul kinders agtergelaat sonder die no-dige
fondse vir hul toekomstige opvoeding.
Di leemte is in 2010 aangespreek toe dienou geskorste
polisiehoof, generaal BhekiCele, die Suid-Afrikaanse
Polisiediens(SAPD) se opvoedkundige fonds gestig het.
Die polisie het die eerste skenking vanR1 miljoen aan die trust
gemaak, wat tansstaatmaak op die insameling van fondsedeur die
polisiediens en privaat sektor.
Die doel van die trust is om sulke kindersby te staan met fondse
om verdere studies teonderneem. Kinders van ontslape polisiele-de
tussen die range van konstabel en adju-dant-offisier, kan by die
trust aansoek doenvir ondersteuning. Onder leiding van die
sta-siebevelvoerder, kolonel Willie Joseph, ver-trek 15 polisielede
op 7 Mei op n 496 km-fiets-toer, om fondse in te samel vir die
trust.
Die roete begin in Kraaifontein en sal op11 Mei weer in
Brackenfell eindig.
Gedurende die vyfdagtoer, sal fietsryersvan dorp tot dorp ry om
geld in te samel deurmiddel vanmusiekkonsertewat elke
aandopverskillende dorpe gehou gaan word.
Verskeie plaaslike musikante soos FrediNest, Hugo Nieuwoudt,
Rooies en Burger leRoux het reeds hul gewig agter die
inisiatief
ingegooi, en n moontlike konsert deur dieBroers word beoog. Bok
Radio sal as media-borg optree, en die radiopersoonlikheid Kar-lien
Kruger, gaan self saamtrap.
Verder gaan die Brackenfell-polisie die pu-bliek bewus maak van
hul slagoffer-onder-steuningsprogram, deur poppekasverto-nings te
hou by skole op die roete.
Die roete dek Kraaifontein, Durbanville,Melkbosstrand, Atlantis,
Darling, Lange-baan, Saldanha, Vredenburg, Hopefield,Moorreesburg,
Piketberg, Porterville, Rie-beek Kasteel, Malmesbury,
Wellington,Paarl en Klapmuts.
Volgens vader Smangaliso Mkhatshwa,voorsitter van die trust, is
die trust die eerstevan sy soort indieSuid-Afrikaanse
openbaresektor. Deur middel van di inisiatief saldie polisie aanhou
om daarna te streef omons gevalle helde te ondersteun, en kan
dieondersteuning van die publiek en privaatsektor verseker dat die
doelwitte van dietrust bereik word,s hy.
Volgens ao. Erica Crous van die Bracken-fell-polisie, is planne
goed op dreef met diebeplande fietstoer, maar word daar nog fond-se
benodig om die verskeie kunstenaars seuitgawes, sowel as ander
toeruitgawes, tedek. Die span kort ook nog eenvormige
fiets-ryklere. Weldoeners wat wil help, kan kap-tein Laurentius
Schoonwinkel skakel by083 320 4283.
Donasies omdie toer te ondersteun,kan in-betaal word by SAPS

The South African Social Security Agen-cy (Sassa) seems to be
blaming pension-ers, parents and caregivers for the recentmayhem in
the pay-out of social grants.
Both the minister of social develop-ment Bathabile Dlamini and
Sassa CEOVirginia Petersen have repeatedly givenassurances that the
re-registration of ben-eficiaries necessitated by the changeoverto
the Cash Paymaster System would notdisrupt grant payments.
Sassa now admits that several systemglitches delayed the payment
of grantssince 2 April. In a full-page advertisementin the Business
Report on Sunday, Sassablames these glitches on beneficiarieswho
panicked and put pressure on thesystem.
This blame-shifting is unacceptable,said Mike Waters, DA shadow
minister ofsocial development in a statement lastweek.
The grants system is a national compe-tency managed by Sassa,
which falls un-der the department of social develop-
ment. Sassa and the department thereforehave joint
responsibility to ensure thatgrants are paid out timeously during
there-registration process.
According to him the advertisementswould have cost Sassa at
least R213 000 or the equivalent of 177 old age grants or803 child
support grants.
We have previously asked the chair-person of the portfolio
committee on soci-al development to call both minister Dla-mini and
Ms Petersen to appear beforethe committee to give feedback on the
ma-nagement of the re-registration processand the vetting of Sassa
officials involvedin grant pay-outs. When this invitation
isaccepted,wewill questionSassaon the re-asoning behind the
advertising campaignand the steps taken to address the glit-ches in
the system.
For many South Africans, socialgrants are their main livelihood.
It is im-perative thatmechanismsareput inplaceto ensure a smooth
transition to the newpay-out system, he said.

En my God sal in elke behoefte van julleryklik voorsien volgens
Sy wonderbaarlikerykdom in Christus Jesus. Filippense 4:19
When would allarrive alive?At last count, almost 200 people had
beenkilled on South African roads over theEaster weekend, 13 of
them in the WesternCape.
Although this figure is down comparedto 2011, this in no way
minimises the im-pact from loss of lives.
Easter is a time of worship for Christi-ans celebrating the
resurrection of Jesus,it is a joyous time to spend with family
andfriends; not intended for mourning.
On 3 April, Western Cape minister oftransport and public works
Robin Carlisleexpressed his hope for no fatalities in theprovince
on the roads at Easter. This wasnot to be.
While the authorities have done every-thing in their power from
Operation Exo-dus to the Arrive Alive Road Safety Cam-paign to keep
South Africans safe on theroads, the same cannot be said of the
moto-rists.
The primary and ultimate responsibili-ty rests with the person
entrusted behindthe wheel. Every driver is well aware ofthe
murderous implications of drivingdrunk, speeding and driving
unroadwort-hy vehicles, yet many, in the foolhardy be-lief that it
will never happen to me, risktheir lives, that of their passengers
and in-nocent fellow motorists.
Next Easter, can we turn Carlisles hopeof zero road fatalities
into a reality?
Herwinnaar of rommelstrooier? Diman is verledeweek in
Parowvallei opgemerkwaar hy sakke vol blikkies en plastiekbottels
gedra het. Hoewel hy vullissakke deurgegaan het om alle herwinbare
materiaal uit te haal, het hy die orige vullis net daar indie park
gelos. Foto: Marana Brand van Hulsteyn

Renters also want to recycleIm reading the letters in todays
(Wednes-day 4 April) newspaper about the recyclebins. The letter of
Debbie Knipe from Dur-banville (Go fetch your recycle bin
urgent-ly) sayswe shouldbe fined fornot recycling.I find that a bit
unfair.
I am renting a property in Protea Heights,Brackenfell.
I dont have a recycle bin. Not because Ihave a no care attitude
or want to protectour environment! I dont have one becausethe
municipality wont issue me with a bin.
You see, last year I went to go ask wherecan I get a recycle
bin. I was told that the OW-NER will have to go fetch the bin with
a letterthat he/she will receive from the municipali-
ty. How true this is, I would like to know?Some renters dont
even get to see the mu-
nicipality account in some cases.In my case, the owners arent
even in the
country.Now my question is ... In the case of ren-
ters, who is responsible for fetching the bin?The owner or
myself, the renter?
And if we can go collect the bin ourselves,what would we need?
Our rental agreement?Do they even collect recycling materials
inBrackenfell? And when?
Some clarity on this issue would be appre-ciated.

Lui bure se dromstink ten hemeleDie nuwe afvalherwinningsprojek
van dieKaapstadse munisipaliteit is uiteraard nuitstekende idee,
maar dit gaan ongelukkigveroorsaak dat my bloeddruk met nog npaar
kerwe styg.
Ek woon in Bellville en het ongelukkig npaar uiters lakse
bure.
Dit is eenvoudig vir hulle te veel moeiteom hul vullisdrom na
die agterplaas terug testoot nadat dit leeggemaak is. Die gevolg
isdat dit week in en week uit net so op sy sy-paadjie bly
staan.
En dit is nie van gister af nie. Dit gaanreeds jare lank so
aan.
Watter sieraad vir die voortuin! Het mensedan so min trots op

onooglikegedrogtelikhede ontsier word nie?
Hulle sien nie die drom vanuit hul sitka-mer nie, maar hul bure
moet heeldag daarinvaskyk.
Nou gaan hulle n tweede (groen) drom kryen di gaan natuurlik net
soos die bestaandeswarte n dromdag ook permanent op die sy-paadjie
gelos word.
In my straat is daar vyf huishoudings wathul dromme net so op
straat los en natuurlikweet die dromkrappers daarvan en doen
ge-volglik daagliks by ons straat aan. Afgesiendaarvan dat hulle
die omgewing in die pro-ses bemors, maak dit n mens naar om te
sienhoe hulle regstreeks van die kosafval uit diedromme eet. Boonop
word my erf as ontlas-tingsplek gebruik. Omdat sulke huiseie-naars
eweneens te lui is om die dromme soaf en toe uit te was, lok dit
nie net vlie nie,maar stuur dit ook onaangename reuke diestraat
af.
Kan die munisipaliteit sulke mense niedalk aanspreek of selfs
beboet nie?

by n hele paar woonstelle inBrackenfell ook so.
Geraas blyk nie n oortreding tewees in die o van die
Brackenfell-polisie nie.
Die antwoord is altyd dieselfde:U moet n klagte kom indien
voorons kan optree.
Dit is die grootste snert.Dit is n kriminele oortreding
soos enige ander.Mens hoef nie n klagte oor elke
kriminele oortreding by die polisiein te dien nie.
Diepubliekkandiepolisie vraomondersoek in te stel.
Hulle kan self teen die mense op-tree indien hulle bewys van die
oor-treding het.
As hulle by die woning aankomen dit raas, is dit genoeg. Dit is
bloteonwilligheid om die gemeenskap tedien.
Baie van die polisiebeamptes isnie uit ons gemeenskap nie,
maaruit ander dele van ons land met an-der waardes.
Hulle het geen belang daarby omons te dien nie.
Dis maklik om wel op te tree asjy gewillig is.
Ek het self ervaring daarvan datdie polisie nie eers uitkom vir
sulkeklagtes nie.
Dit is tyd dat ons as gemeenskapvra dat die plaaslike polisie se
nie-optrede ondersoek word en hullevervang word met lede wat ons
asgemeenskap wil dien.
Hulle moet ook ophou om n rege-ringsinstrument te wees en
woordesoos rolmodelle vir transforma-sie (uit n berig in

JANA BEKKER
Om voor n gehoor te praat is die mensse vyfde grootste vrees,
volgens n inter-net-blogskrywer.
Net die vrees vir slange, honde en spinne-koppe, die vrees vir
kieme, vir oop spasiesen die vrees vir hoogtes, is erger as die
vreesom in die openbaar te praat.
Di vrees kan egter oorkom word en ommense daarmee te help, is
die TygerbergToastmasters net die plek om by aan te klop.
Elretha Johnson, adjunkpresident van dieTygerberg Toastmasters,
s by di organisa-sie leer mense hoe om voor ander te praaten word
leierskapontwikkeling aange-spreek.
Pieter Brits, president, s by die Toastmas-ters word mense
gehelp om hul verhoog-vrees te oorkom. Wanneer dt in plek is,kan
sprekers die konstruksie van hul optre-des regkry, s hy.
Pieter s solank mense n vrees het omvoor ander te praat kan daar
nie doeltreffendgekommunikeer word nie.
Hoe kan jy regtig iemand leer ken as jynie weet hoe om met die
ander persoon tepraat nie? s hy.
Geen vorm van kommunikasie is beter asverbale kommunikasie
nie.
By n byeenkoms van die Toastmasters opDinsdag 3 April het dr. ST
Potgieter, oud-lidvan die Toastmasters, opgetree as spreker.
Hoe begin n mens n toespraak, het STgevra. Jy wil nie h mense
moet n die eer-ste sin aan die slaap raak nie, s hy.
ST s n goeie toespraak begin met n inlei-ding wat tref. Dit is
die aas wat jy aansit
wanneer jy die lyn ingooi, verduidelik hydie stelling deur
middel van n metafoor.
ST het ges dit is belangrik om deurentydgaste se aandag te behou
en n goue draadjiedeur die toespraak tot aan die einde te vleg.
Vyf sprekers het by di geleentheid toe-sprake gehou. n
Evalueerder het elke spre-ker se toespraak gevalueer en wenke
gegee.
Sprekers kry n spesifieke tyd om hul toe-sprake te maak en n
tydhouer herinner hul-le aan die oorblywende tyd.
By Tygerberg Toastmasters word verskil-lende kleure liggies
onderskeidelik drie,twee en een minuut voor die einde aangeska-kel
om die spreker van sy oorblywende tydin kennis te stel.
Sekere rels geld wanneer jy lid is vanToastmasters. Sprekers mag
nie praat oorgodsdiens, politiek of seks nie, s Pieter.
Elretha Johnson was een van die sprekersby die onlangse
vergadering, waar sy haartiende toespraak gemaak het.
Die toespraak het gegaan oor die lewe vann seun genaamd
Huppelkind.
Pieter Brits se onderwerp was die buur-vrou en haar seun met sy
motorfiets enSean Kets het gepraat oor Ongeluk opGrootgeluk.
Jaco Heiberg, die ander spreker vir dieaand, se onderwerp was
visie.
Jy as leier moet op die kruin van die bult-jie gaan staan en vir
ander mense wys waar-heen om te gaan. Jou visie moet uitdagendwees
en mensegerig wees. Dit moet ook mak-lik wees om te verduidelik,
het hy ges. Methierdie woorde in sy toespraak het Jaco ver-skeie
aspekte aangeraak waarop juis by dieToastmasters gefokus word.

The vibracrete wall along the R300 inSareptawill nowbe
replacedbyconcretepalisade fencing.
The wall was meant to keep criminalsout of the residential area,
but due tovandalism it never served its purpose.
People have easy access to the resi-dential area from the R300
and they havean easy escape route via the R300, saidone
resident.
Shortly after an article (Criminalsdestroy freeway wall) about
the de-struction of the vibracrete wall ap-peared in
theTygerBurger, the South Af-rican National Roads Agency
(Sanral)started working on replacing the wallwith palisade
fencing.
Not only is this type of fencing moredurable, but also more
difficult for crim-inals to steal, says Johannes Abrahamfrom Lusasa
Construction, the companysubcontracted by Sanral for the
mainte-
nance of the wall.This will ultimately save us a lot of
money with maintenance costs and itwill also be a lot safer for
residents, hesays.
According to Abraham, the biggestproblem they had with the
maintenanceof the vibracrete wall was with residentswho took the
slabs without permission.
To date we have spent in excess ofR30 000 on repairing this
specific wall,said Kobus van der Walt, regional man-ager for
Sanral.
Ward councillor Jacob Jacobs hasmade a number of visits to the
area.
He says even though the maintenanceof the wall is not the
responsibility of themunicipality, he made every effort tostress
the importance of the wall to San-ral.
We are now busy removing the old vi-bracrete wall and by Tuesday
we willstart putting up the new palisade fenc-ing, says
Abraham.

Businesses big and small must make sure theyare legal.
That is the message that Shaun Nero, a localsocial entrepreneur,
wants to get out into thecommunity. He has taken on this task to
makelocal small businesses aware of new legislationgoverning
companies.
He explained there was some confusion whenthe Companies and
Intellectual Property Com-mission (Cipro) announced that closed
corpora-tions (CCs), will not exist any more.
Several communications were sent to custom-ers, but most small
to medium enterprise ownersstill do not fully understand what it
all entails.
Also helping with this task is Arthur Jacobs of
Business Zone who developed a very simplifiedfinancial
management system which could bene-fit small medium
enterprises.
They fear to register as limited companies notrealising that
their annual turnover plays a verycrucial role in auditing and
other technicalitiesrelated to growth in business, he said.
Jacobs helps small to medium enterprises withsimplified
effective bookkeeping which can addvalue to their operation.
Nero concluded by adding that it was impor-tant for these
businesses to register with Cipro,and other related governmental
departments be-cause it all formed part of being on databaseswhen
it came to tenders and getting business.
For further information interested parties cancall him on 084
598 9077.
Legit business has advantages
Shaun Nero wants to assist small tomedium businesses in the
community.
The Western Cape health departmenthas embarked on an influenza
vaccina-tion campaign, which is taking place atall public health
facilities until Sunday30 June.
A total of 100 000 vaccine doses are availa-ble for this
campaign and have been allocat-ed to all districts.
The vaccine is provided free of charge.People who are part of
the priority groups
are encouraged to go to their nearest healthfacility to request
the vaccination.
Through receiving the vaccine, peopleliving in the Western Cape
can build strong-er immune systems and protect themselvesagainst
flu during this winter.
Priority groups include:.Adults or children at high risk for
influ-
enza-related complications because of un-
derlying medical conditions such as chron-ic pulmonary disease
(including asthma),cardiovascular disease (except hyperten-sion),
renal, hepatic, neurologic, haemato-logic or metabolic disorders
(including dia-betes mellitus), morbid obesity and
immu-no-suppression (including HIV-infectedpersons);. Pregnant
women irrespective of stage
of pregnancy;. Children aged six months to four years
(59 months);. Residents of old-age (nursing) homes
and other chronic care or rehabilitation fa-cilities;.Children
aged six months to 18 years on
long-term aspirin therapy; and. All persons aged 65 years and
older.Theuns Botha, Western Cape health min-
ister says; The vaccination campaign
forms part of our strategy to boost peoplesimmune systems, so
that their bodies areless vulnerable to disease. Our long-termaim
is to increase wellness, that is a societywhere people are healthy
and strong andable to go to work every day and live the lifethey
value. Flu vaccinations are only stepson that road, but building
blocks towards ahealthier society. So make use of this oppor-tunity
that our health services offer so thatwe can be better
together.
The outcome of the campaign is to reduceinfluenza-related
morbidity and mortalityand to reduce the transmission of the
influ-enza virus within communities.
Not everyone is at risk of severe disease,therefore, not
everyone needs to be vacci-nated against the current strain of
influen-za.

IAN LITTLE
The new Peugeot 508GT hasarrived on dealership floors,adding to
Peugeots extendedrange of passenger and com-mercial vehicles now
availa-ble in South Africa.
Graceful in style and appear-ance the new 508GT is equippedwith
a 2.2 HDi 4 cylinder dieselengine which came as some-thing of a
surprise for the testteam.
However, the combination ofa 150kW engine revving at3 500rpm
coupled to a 6-speedautomatic transmission cer-tainly provides
exhilaratingperformance and outstandingfuel economy; a combined
fig-ure of 5,7 litres/100km beingachieved from the 72 litre
fueltank.
Whats more, the new Peugeot508GT seems to perform effort-lessly,
the engine being smoothand subtle on acceleration withthe automatic
6-speed changingover without any noticeablelapse or jerkiness, thus
allowingthe driver to sit back and enjoythe drive with minimal
fuss.
As with previous Peugeots,roadholding is of a high calibreand
corrugated surfaces are tak-en in the 508GTs stride; if there
is a problem it is that the turn-ing circle is a bit on the
wideside when it comes to negotiat-ing the likes of car parks.
With-in all the comforts are there:leather trim, Quad-Zone Cli-mate
Control, hands-free startand access, heated seats, sideblinds,
cruise control and elec-tric handbrake. Music loverscan enjoy a
radio/CD completewith MP3 player, USB/Blue-tooth and steering wheel
finger-tip control.
The 508GT is also high on safe-ty features: Follow me home
Xe-non Elliptical headlights, Elec-tronic Stability
Programme,Heads-Up Display, front, pas-senger, side and curtain
airbagsplus an Electric Child LockingSystem are included.
Externally items such as 18alloy wheels, electronic
foldingmirrors and automatic wiperscomplete with rain sensorsshould
enhance the driving ex-perience. Peugeot provide aspace saver spare
wheel whichis packed away neatly in a largeboot capable of storing
a varietyof sports equipment.

of a 5-Year/100 000km facto-ry warranty and a 5-year/100 000km Full
