“Let’s hand over stupid Joline, the 16-year-old that was was bitten, to At-lantis Animal Pound, to get her out
of her misery! Joline, you have won theaward of the month! For stupidity, sorry,there is no cure! You should be where Milois!”This Facebook comment,made byBelinda
RuthBerry, is one ofmanymade by support-ers ofMilo, a dog that was impounded by theAtlantis Animal Pound for biting and per-manently damaging a child’s hand.The child, Joline Janse vanRensburg,was
visiting a friend’s house and while waitingoutside the gate, their dog bit her hand fromthe inside of the palisade fence.
Joline’s father, Rudolf, who was waitingin his car, jumped out while he and Joline’sfriend screamed at the dog, a labrador andDalmation cross, who then let go of herhand.
Stitches“Joline did not make a sound. She just
turned to me, white as a ghost and said ‘lookwhat the dog did.’ Her hand was bleedingprofusely,” Rudolf says. He took her to theemergency unit at N1 City immediately,where she received 27 stitches.This happened almost three months ago,
but Joline is still in shock. Not only couldshenotwrite herGr 11 final exam, the injuryhas also left herwith anugly scar. Joline lostfeeling in part of her right hand ... as wellas all her friends.
Joline has become a victim in a Facebookcampaign to releaseMilo. In very little time,Milo has gained the support of close to 4 400animal activists worldwide on www.caus-es.com website, after the owner made a pleato release him.Unbridled insults against the Janse van
Rensburg family were rife and on anotherpublic Facebook page of Kruvet AnimalHealth, owner of Milo, Sharné Jordaan, said“Ek sal daai etters sue wat my ‘kind’ weg-neem”.She also posted the cellphone number of
the law enforcement officer in charge of theimpoundment unit, email addresses ofHelen Zille and promised to get the cell-phone number of Joline’s father so that peo-ple can direct their anger to them in personin order to release Milo.
TraumaOn17December, someoneposted this com-
ment: “This 16-year-old girl must be pun-ished for causing poor Milo all the trauma& suffering! If it wasn’t for her irresponsibleactions this would never have happened!”The Janse vanRensburg family did not re-
spond to any of these comments, but fol-lowed the Save Milo campaign on social me-dia and made copies of everything. In theprocess they came across two other peoplewho have been bitten byMilo in the past andcommentsmade by Jordaan on several occa-sions prior to this incident, asking adviceabout her dog’s aggressive behaviour.Angie Janse van Rensburg, Jolines’ moth-
er, says they do not want to make a decisionabout the life of the dog. “The lawmust takeits course, but the fact is our child is inno-cent. She is the one who got bitten here. Wedid not want to do it the media way, we relyon what’s right. If I take part in this debateon social media, people will attack me.”The campaign has also taken a political
turn: “Weare starting a twitter storm tohelpsave Milo. If you are on twitter please tweet@helenzille to send Milo home and get yourfollowers to retweet,” one of the organisersof the campaign posted on the “Causes”web-site. Several people threatened not to voteDA if Milo was not released.On 13 January, Milo was released and re-
turned to his owner.“Thematter was first brought tomy atten-
tion during middle December. By the timeit was submitted to me there had alreadybeen a lot of water under the bridge and afair amount of tension had arisen as certaincomments had been made on social media
about the injured girl,” says Richard Bos-man, head of safety and security for the Cityof Cape Town, who ordered Milo’s release.He says he opened communication with
both parties in the decision-making process.
Litigation“Despite all the raised emotions and the
possibility of civil as well as criminal litiga-tion, my sole focus was to consider the re-quest by the owner of the dog to not have itdestroyed. Representations in this regardweremade tome byMs Jordaan’s attorneys,which I provided to the complainant’s fatherto get his view. He indicated in an email thatthis was not his business and that the deci-sion was mine to make,” Bosman says. Headded that Jordaan had complied with therequest to fence in the property properly andto have the bell, which was on the inside ofthe fence, moved.

Nearly two years ago she was diagnosedwith Guillain-Barré syndrome – a diseasethat affects one’s peripheral nervous sys-tem. Since her diagnosis she has beenwheelchair bound. Her dream for 2014 is towalk, “at least on crutches”.
Brooke Kleinsmith (14), from Highburyin Kuils River said despite the lack of prop-er physiotherapy her body has shown somesigns of improvement.
“These days the pain comes and go. At thebeginning she experienced excruciatingpain,” her mother, Roslyn, said.
Brooke said: “I was paralysed. I could notmove. It was very painful. I also experi-enced a lot of sleepless nights.”
Since then she has recovered significant-ly.
“She can move her leg, but it’s still toopainful to stand and walk.
“She can transfer herself into and out ofa vehicle, as well as into her bed...some-thing she could not do a year ago,” hermother explained.
Brooke, a Gr 9 pupil, is currently complet-ing her final year at the Paarl SpecialSchool in Brackenfell and hopes to get a spotat Jan Kriel High in 2015 where she will beable to finish her schooling.
“When she got sick, she was still in prima-ry school. She needed to be placed in a spe-cial school.
“Our options were between Jan Kriel andPaarl School, but Jan Kriel High was al-ready full,” the mother, a contracts admin-istrator, said.
She said they are hoping that Brooke will
be able to attend Jan Kriel, a school forlearners with special educational needs,next year.
Roslyn explained that her daughter hadbeen getting fewer physiotherapy traininghours than before due to the number oflearners who require this treatment at herschool.
A lady from Johannesburg, according toher, has offered to sponsor Brooke withmore physiotherapy classes.
“We believe that if she had been receivingher treatment at the rehab she would havebeen better by now.
“If she had been receiving the one-on-onetreatment she could have been walking oncrutches, maybe even walking by now,” the
mother said.The single mother had to cancel the train-
ing at the Western Cape Rehabilitation Cen-tre in Mitchells Plain due to travelling con-straints.
Despite the training she said her daugh-ter is doing well academically.
“She got the highest marks in class forEnglish higher grade last year.”
Brooke has also been appointed as one ofthe school’s prefects.
The teenager said she is hopeful about afurther positive improvement. “My goal isto start walking by the end of this year,” shesaid.
Her mom replied: “At least on crutch-es...baby steps.”
Brooke Kleinsmith ishopeful that shewill show a positiverecovery after beingdiagnosed withGuillainBarrésyndrome two yearsago. With her is hermother Roslyn(right) and a familyfriend, Alexcia duPlessis. PHOTO:RICHARD ROBERTS

Hy is reg oor die land bekend, veral vir sytreffer, Baby Tjoklits, en in Februarie sal Ty-gerBurger se lesers ’n kans kry om hom inlewende lywe op die verhoog te sien.
Gerhard Steyn is een van die kunstenaarswat lesers gekies het om by die TygerBur-ger/CapeGate-leserskonsert op te tree.
Hy sal die verhoog met Theuns Jordaan,Kurt Darren en Dillon Lerm op 28 Februariein die Liqui-Fruit-amfiteater in die Paarldeel.TygerBurger het vir Gerhard ’n paar
vrae gevra:TB: Ons lesers kon enige Suid-Afrikaanse
kunstenaar kies om by die konsert op te tree,maar hulle het jóú gekies. Hoe voel jy daar-oor?
GS: Dit is nog altyd vir my ’n groot voorregwanneer mense my as kunstenaar en mymusiek ondersteun en ek sal altyd grootwaardering daarvoor hê.
TB: Wat is jou planne vir 2014?GS: Ons is besig met ’n nuwe duetalbum
waarin ’n nuwe kunstenaar bekend gestelword.
TB: Wat sou jy sê was jou grootste treffertot nou toe en gaan jy dit sing by die leserskon-sert?
GS: Dit is moeilik om een uit te sonder. Ba-by Tjoklits was my deurbraak-liedjie en saldus altyd na aan my hart bly, en vandag sesjaar later, word hy nog op elke optrede deurdie gehoor versoek. Die geheim lê daarin omop elke album treffers te skryf soos Diaman-te vir Jou, Rooi Roos, Jy’s my Hartklop, Brooden Melk, maar ek strewe ook om tydlose lied-jies te skryf en dit is liedjies wat konstantgroei en deur die mense by my optredes ver-soek word, soos Sexy Jeans, Als begin eersNou, Stealing Stars en Pennies en Ponde. Ver-seker gaan die gehoor die treffers en ook vandie gunstelinge hoor.
TB: Waar is jou gunsteling-venue en watdink jy van die Liqui-Fruit-amfiteater in diePaarl?
GS: Elke venue is uniek op sy eie manier,maar as ek een moet uitsonder is dit die Inni-bos-hoofverhoog in Mbombela (Nelspruit).Ek het nog nie by die Liqui-Fruit-amfiteaterin die Paarl opgetree nie. Dit is my eerstekeer by hierdie venue en ek sien baie uit. Ekgaan rock.
TB: Wat sal jy sê is die hoogtepunt van jouloopbaan tot dusver en hoekom?
GS: Elke oomblik van my loopbaan is virmy ’n hoogtepunt. Ek streef elke dag daarnaom my beste te gee.V TygerBurger het vanjaar hande gevat met Smile90.4fm, wat as radioborg vir die konsert optree. Vandie Smileomroepers sal die aand van die konsert asseremoniemeesters optree.V Kaartjies vir die konsert kos tussen R130 en R160en is by www.cultivaria.com beskikbaar.

Schools in the northern district of the north-ern suburbs (Brackenfell, Kraaifontein,Durbanville and Bellville North) escapedthe bulk of vandalism during the past De-cemberholidays,withonly threeminor inci-dents reported.The remainder of the city and province
suffered 38 reported cases of burglary andvandalism, of which four were major.Damages at this stage amounts to half a
million rand, with the final costs still to bedetermined.“I find it very disturbing that people are
prepared to damage a school classroom orsteal resources that are meant to teachyoung learners. The R500 000 spent on re-
pairs and replacement of equipment couldhave been spent on textbooks and readers,or on new technology,” Minister of Educa-tion in the Western Cape, Donald Grant re-sponded on Friday.The Cape Winelands District had 11 re-
ported cases, followed by Metro East (KuilsRiver, Bellville South and Elsies River area)with eight and Metro South (southern sub-urbs)with five cases. TheWestCoast districtreported only one case.The worst case reported, according to
Grant was at Joe Slovo Secondary in Khay-elitsha,where thedamage to two science lab-oratories and several classrooms was exten-sive.Grant says that ofmost of the cases report-
ed over the holiday period, copper pipingand electrical cabling seem to be the main
target.In five of the cases, computer equipment
was stolen.Inmost cases, these schools had alarmsys-
tems. And in others, 24-hour security.“Whilewe can try to safeguardour schools
with additional security measures, we can-not win the fight against school burglaryand vandalism without community supportas schools, given their extensive physical in-frastructure, are difficult areas to secure.”On enquiry the department declined to
identify the names of the three schools van-dalised in the northern district due to rea-sons of security.“Inmanycases, thedamages causedby the
perpetrators can result in a security threator breach,” said Grant’s spokesperson,Bronagh Casey.

Show (CES) was held in Las Vegas earlierthis month and provided great insight intowhat to expect, technology-wise, this year.Some productsmight, however, not be avail-able in South Africa for a while.Some predictions for this year on the tech-
nology front, were explained in a media re-lease from Dial a Nerd, a local IT manage-ment service provider.Micropayment applications, they say,
which will allow a variety of payment solu-tions to talk to each other so that physicalmoney doesn’t need to change hands is saidto expand in South Africa this year.Developments in television, physical ones
as well as in telecommunications, are beingspoken about. It looks like Vodacomwill for-mally bid to buy Neotel and a deal betweenTelkom and MTN should be finalised thisyear. Although, a Telkom Mobile, MTN ar-rangement could be more complicated thana Vodacom and Neotel one.
3D printingOther trends include 3D printing, which
will eventually allow users to print out 3Dobjects such as shoes, accessories and toysfrom home. It sounds a bit sci-fi, as NASAhas sent these printers to space in order toreplaceminor parts (which is far easier thanhaving the parts shipped there), but appar-ently 3D printers have been around for 25years, and now due to technological im-provements and reduced costs they are be-coming more popular.“3D printers will be in your house like re-
frigerators, TVs and microwaves,” musicstar will.i.am said at the event. AndrewBog-geri, owner of a Las Vegas company called
Full Spectrum Laser, mentioned a study in-dicating that the average US home couldsave up to $2 000 (about R21 700) annually,by printing, instead of replacing a numberof the 27 commonly broken household items.According to Dial a Nerd, the biggest buzz
at the consumer electronics show seemed tobe around wearable technology.
Put it on youWearable tech can be broken down into
three categories: glasses, notifiers and track-ers. Most of us know about Google Glass bynow: a wearable computer in the form of apair of glasses. The glasses are expected togo on sale some time this year for about $500(about R5 400) and experts are predictingthat fourmillion “smartglasses”will be sold.These amazing glasses are even said to
transform the way surgery is performed asdoctors are now using them in the operatingroom. The optical head mounted display al-lows the surgeon to keep his eyes on the pa-tient at all times and the microphone giveshim the ability to communicate with thoseoutside of the operating room, such as thepatient’s friends and family.Notifiers are deviceswhich give you infor-
mation from the world around you, such assmartwatches and wristbands that are ableto receive text messages, phone calls, socialmedia mentions as well as provide othercommunication and interactive features,compatible with Android and iOS.Trackers use sensors to record data such
as heart rate, exercise, calories, visuals andmuch more, via fitness wristbands and life-logging cameras.The products are connected to the internet

Die Tygerberg-mannekoor is ses jaar ouden net soos ’n 6-jarige wat op pad skool toeis, beweeg die koor nou in die volgende fasevan sy “lewe”.“Die eerste ses jaar is die karakterbou-
tydperk,” sê ’n koorlid, Jaap Visser.Hy verduidelik dat die koor nou deur sy
groeifase is en ’n duidelike visie vir die toe-koms van die koor het.Visser sê toe oudpres. Nelson Mandela
oorlede is, het hulle besluit die beste ma-nier vir hulle om sy lewe te eer, is om ’ninklusiewe koor te bou.“Onswil deur sang en samesyn enuitreik
na die gemeenskap die nasie saamtrek,” sêhy.Toe die koor by die All Saints-kerk in
Durbanville begin het, was die gemiddeldeouderdom van die lede 75, maar Visser sêdis besig om te verander.Nou is daar tot iemand in die koor wat
net uit die skool is, maar die koor is op soek
na meer manne om deel van hulle groep teword.Visser sê buiten die kameraderie, is daar
ook gesondheidsvoordele aan sang verbon-de. Dit verminder stres en laat daal ’nmensse bloeddruk.“Dit herlaai my battery,” sê Visser van
die koor se weeklikse oefeninge.Manne kom van oor die Skiereiland om
saam te sing, maar die koor het ook onder-steuning van die gemeenskap nodig om tekan oorleef.Musiekliefhebbers kan somaakwanneer
diemanneop 23Maart bydieBellville-bibli-oteek sal optree.Visser sê Kaapstad se jeugkore presteer
reg oor die wêreld, en nou is dit die pa’s sekans omook deel van die kooraksie tewees.Manne wat deel van die koor wil wees,
kan saam oefen wanneer hulle Donderdaetussen 19:30 en 21:30 by De Wetstraat 153,Vrijzee bymekaar kom.V Bel Liz Carstens by 074 888 0084 of stuur ’n eposaan [email protected] met navrae oor diekoor.

on end-of-life prepayment metersbut will be expanded later to re-place some of the older credit me-ters in the Greater Cape Town ar-ea. Eskom supply areas are not in-cluded in this project.The design life of prepayment
meters is approximately 20 yearsand the field failures of these old-er meters have reached the stagewhere planned replacement is re-
quired.Approximately 10 % of prepay-
mentmeters currently qualify forreplacement and the areas initial-ly targetedwill be thosewhere thedensity of older meters is thehighest.The city has appointed Elex Kh-
anyisa to do these replacementsover the next three years.If a meter needs to be replaced,
a notice will be delivered to thepremises to request an appoint-ment for meter replacement.Details of the notice will be
available to the City Call Centrestaff, should the customer wish to
confirm the authenticity of thecorrespondence. All staff will car-ry identity cards and use clearlymarked vehicles. The meter re-placement is compulsory andfree.The new meter comes with
some pre-loaded units, the cost ofwhich will be recovered via thevending system as future pur-chases are made.V The Call Centre may be contacted on086 010 3089 or power@capetown.gov.za and Elex Khanyisa on 021556 2460 or [email protected] an appointment once the notice isreceived.

No pain no gain for acrobatRICHARD ROBERTS
@richardjohn_rj
The rough and tumble of life is all part of adays work for Muhidinsalum “Muhidin”Adla.During the week and weekends he per-
forms as an acrobat. His dream however isto someday start his very own circus school.Despite not having a fixed income Adla
(27), a professional acrobat who is originallyfromDarEs Salaam inTanzania says hewillcontinue to perform as a street artist andteach children in the impoverishedWesbank to realise this life-long dream.Apart from owning a school he also
dreams about one day performing for theworld famous Cirque du Soleil. “Inmy heartI dream about Cirque du Soleil,” he said.Adla is currently part of the group called
Mambo Jambo. He often trains with his fourfriends at the Multi Purpose Centre inWesbank and performs during the week andover the weekends in Sea Point, Camps Bayand theV&AWaterfront.Muhidin trained asan acrobat since the age of seven.He immigrated to South Africa five years
ago.“I came to South Africa to work. I only
work as an acrobat and have been doing sofor many years now,” he said.Muhidin has over the years also worked
for an international German circus produc-tion called Africa! Africa! and receivedtraining in China where he stayed for an en-tire year.“I started working for Africa! Africa! at
age 16 years. They saw me perform in thestreets,” he said.Muhidin started performing in the streets
of Tanzania to earn money for his parents.“My mother was unemployed and my fa-
ther used to sell clothes.”Muhidin started Mambo Jambo in 2013
with four friends. The group practises onMondays andTuesdays at theMulti PurposeCentre inWesbank. Muhudin also trains lit-tle children in the area without receivingpayment.“The training is a lot of hard work. We
practise a lot.“We look on the internet for new ideas, but
often also come up with our own,” he said.The most difficult trick to perform, he
says, is standing on someone’s head balanc-ing his body with only one hand.“It took me two years before I was able to
do that. Often when I train I always say ‘nopain no gain’,” he said.Muhidin and his group earn between
R1 000 andR5 000 a day. “Sometimeswe onlyearn R300, sometimes nothing,” he said.
Muhidinsalum ‘Muhidin’ Adla, an acrobat, trains and teaches youngsters in Wesbank. Here he’sseen performing with two of his students, Heinrich Prins (5), and his older brother Miguel (6).

Everywhere one drives inBrackenfell you see hugegardens on the sidewalks.
People walking their dogs orjust going for a family walkhave to walk in the roadbecause there is no space onthe sidewalk to walk. In somecases the sidewalk gardens areso overgrown that one cannoteven see traffic around acorner.
I can’t see oncoming trafficwhen I reverse out of mydriveway because my next doorneighbour has a sidewalkgarden, and when he has hissprinklers on to water hissidewalk garden my car getsabsolutely filthy from the finespray. Speaking to him hasamount to nothing.
Apparently, although thesidewalk belongs to the munici-pality it is the responsibility ofthe owner of the propertybehind the sidewalk to main-tain it. Surely the municipalityhas rules about what is allowedto be planted? Sidewalk garde-ners should be fined.

Jingle bellsand happyValentine’sJust when the paying populace aresighing a collective, “ah, thank goodnessit’s finally over!”, the board of sillyseason social sentimentalist marketersstarts milking the (mostly empty) walletswith truck-loads of hearts.
Yes, you guessed it. The momentMariah Carey’s (or Boney M’s) Yuletidemelodies died down, they had the ware-houses aerated for last year’s back toschool placard specials.
Change a price here, tweak a picturethere, et voila, the retail managers canstart compiling their monthly storetargets like clockwork – in perfect time tothe last coin falling from the SouthAfrican’s overworked purse.
We buy into the marketing every year.Those placards are irresistible – thehappy children in their crisp whites andshiny shoes really get the sentimentaljuices flowing. And they know exactlyhow to do it: they make us feel guilty.
What parent in their right mind doesnot want to get their child the latest,most expensive turn-up crayons (evenwhen normal ones would do the job)?
Then, when the last cents are spent –with a tear and a deep, deep sigh – theyrelease the angels and heart placards andbooklets, pamphlets and displays. So, ifby Valentine’s Day we’ve not learnt thelesson of “less is more”, they makecertain we smell the cinnamon goodnessof hot cross buns baking – a whole monthbefore Easter. So, dear reader, be sure tostock up on the chocolate eggs – theyknow we love our mothers too.

Almost all pirated copies of the film,Mande-la: Long Walk To Freedom which have beencirculating in South Africa do not have thecomplete film.
This is according to the South African Fed-eration against Copyright Theft (SAFACT)who discovered when watching a piratedcopy that theDVDstartswith the first 15min-utes of the film, but thereafter continueswiththe film, Invictus which was released fouryears ago.
The pirates have used the same cinemaposter artwork of the film Mandela: LongWalk To Freedom as the inlay/cover for theirpirated discs to make it appear legitimate.
The film was released on 28 November 2013at cinemas in South Africa and has subse-quently been released in the United King-dom, the United States, Canada, France, Hol-land, Portugal, Israel, Iceland, Switzerland,Belgium and the Middle East.
Germany, Finland, Norway, Spain, Den-mark, New Zealand and India will release thefilm later this month.
The film is not legally available in a DVDformat anywhere in theworld and thepiratesare defrauding the public misleading andmisrepresenting (them).
Producer, Anant Singh, says: “It is ex-tremely disappointing that the film is beingtargeted by pirates.”
In a press release, SAFACT stated that pi-racy kills jobs, opportunities and sustainableincome for workers in the creative industry.
The CEO of SAFACT, Corne Guldenpfen-nig has warned pirates that SAFACT is vigi-lant in the enforcement in cinema theatresand on the streets throughout the country.She also warned criminals that criminal ac-tions will be taken against all perpetratorswhether for fraud and/or under the copy-right legislation.
SAFACT calls upon the public to do theright thing and blow the whistle on any per-son dealing in piracy to see that the perpetra-tors are brought to justice.V Crime Line: SMS 32211 or Crime Stop 086 0010 111and online at [email protected].

Durbanville singer/songwriter Vernon Bar-nard, is passionate about many issues, notleast of which is the issue of child safety.In fact, Vernon is so passionate about the
wellbeing of children, that he’s written twosongs, one in English and one in Afrikaans,that carry amessage aimed at creating a bet-ter world for children.“Through the years I’ve seen how people
treat children,” Vernon says adding that hethinks the most important thing childrenneed is love.“I’ve experienced that people buy their
children,”Vernonsays, pointingout that toomany parents simply pushmoney into theirchildren’s hands instead of offering thempa-rental guidance.“I can’t handle when children get abused
by family members,” Vernon goes on, add-ing: “Once again, it’s a lack of parental con-trol.”“Little Child” is a song Vernon wrote for
a tribute to John Lennon CD, titled The Si-lence is broken he recorded for the SABC.The song opens with the lyrics: “Little
child tell me what you need.”Vernon explains: “It’s a plea.” His wish is
that peoplewill listen to the lyrics of the songand hear that what children need is love andattention.His other song is for childrenwho inmany
cases, don’t have parents: street children.“Straatkind” asks the question: “Why are
those children on the street?”“They stand there and they’re begging,”
Vernonsaysof childrenoften foundat trafficlights, pointing out that drivers are usuallyquick to close their windows and turn away.“Put yourself in their shoes,” he says.
“I want people to be aware of things,” Ver-non says, adding: “Just have some empathy,that’s all.”WhenVernon isn’twriting his ownmusic,
he is also involved with tribute performanc-es and offers his services for charity or fund-raising shows.V To find out more about working with Vernon, emailhim at [email protected] To listen to Vernon’s songs about children, visitwww.tygerburger.co.za.
All children need islove and attention
Vernon Barnard hopes his songs will makepeople rethink the way they treat children.

A tale of love and the ocean wide
Emilio and Justina de Sousa from Welgelegen, who have been married for 70 years.PHOTO: MAGRIET THERON
MAGRIET THERON@magrietron
“I am on my nerves,” says Emilio de Sousa,who has been a fearless skipper for 61 years.He is a healthy man, but the interview hashim trembling. “What do you want to talkabout?”Emilio (93) and Justina de Sousa (89) were
married in Lisbon, Portugal on 26 December1943. Today, they are still holding hands onthe couch of their daughter Maria Wilson’shouse in Welgelegen, where they stay.On 26 December 2013, they had been mar-
ried for 70 years. They celebrated it at aBlou-bergstrand restaurant with a sea view with15 familymembers: children, grandchildrenand great-grandchildren.“I come from a small village north of Lis-
bon. When I was 17, my father fell ill and wehad to move to the city. The next thing Iknow, we were living next to ’Tina. She was13 then, andwe started lookingat eachother.Two years later, I asked her father permis-sion to talk to her. He said no. EventuallyI did talk to her, and my future father in lawbecame one ofmy best friends,” says Emilio.Emilio and Justina were married when
she was 19 and he 22.“We had about 40 guests at our wedding,”
says Justina. “They were mostly family. Inthose times we did not have big weddings,the money was not so much.” On the day ofthe wedding, Emilio and Justina’s parentstook them to see a show in Lisbon, afterwhich they escorted them to the apartmentwhere they were going to live. There, Justi-na’s parents handed her over to Emilio.Eight days after the wedding, Emilio had
to go to sea to further his training as an ap-prentice officer on passenger liners.Justina spent her time working on her
trousseau and making dresses. “I sewed alot. I had a beautiful trousseau. I did all theembroidery myself.” She carried on doingneedlework for many years, until in recentyears shewas unable to continue, due to fail-ing health.
They had two children, a daughter and ason, born inPortugal and in 1966 theymovedto Cape Town. They moved around a lotthrough theyears, due toEmilio’sworkcom-mitments. They stayed for anumber of yearsin Monte Vista and Mossel Bay and now re-side inWelgelegenwith their daughter,Mar-ia.Their son, Jacinto, went back to Lisbon as
an adult to follow a marine career, and
daughter Maria studied at UCT and becamea music teacher in Pinelands for manyyears.The De Sousa family has a long history
with SouthernAfrica.On 11August 1916, thefamous Cutty Sark, one of the last sailingships to be built before steam ships were in-troduced to the world, suffered a storm inAgulhas, lost a mast and had to be towed toCape Town for repairs. The ship was undercommand of Emilio’s uncle, FredericoVierade Sousa.Emilio’s father, Jacinto Viera de Sousa,
whowas a chief engineer in shipping,movedto Maputo to settle in the shipping repairbusiness in 1915.AfterWorldWar II, the fam-ily went back to Portugal.Throughout her life, Justina had to man-
age without her husband for long periodswhile he was at sea, but her children, grand-children and later great-grandchildren kepther busy. Emilio only retired when he was80.She visited Portugal a few times, and once
her mother, Clotilde da Silva, came to CapeTown for a four month visit, after Justina’sfather, Arturda Purificazzo died. “After thefourmonths,mymotherwent back to Portu-gal and died too, within amonth. Shemissedmy father too much.“They were very close. My father was a
lieutenant in the navy, a fantastic man. Andmy mother was a fantastic mother as well,”says Justina.They shy away from talking about them-
selves, but Emilio is keen to boast about his
grandfather who once received a letter fromthe Duke of Braganza in Portugal. “Mygrandfather, captain Antonio José de Sousa,once took the prince and princess of Portu-gal on a boat trip out of Lisbon. The princess’hat blewoff andmygrandfather gave her hiscaptain’s cap.“The ship was under his command. The
prince wrote him a letter of thanks after-wards,” he says, and shows me the letter,written in black ink on yellowed paper in aneat, Portuguese hand.The couple’s 10-year-old great-grandson,
Justin Botes, who is a learner at PanoramaPrimary is in turn, equally proud of Emilio.“Here is an interesting fact,” he says. “My
great-grandfather was the captain of the Di-as-memorial caravel.”As amember of the society ofMasterMari-
ners in 1986, Emilio initiated the building ofa replica of the sailing ship BartholomeusDias used to sail around the southern tip ofAfrica in 1488. The replica ship was built inVila do Conde, north of Lisbon. For the 500year memorial of this historic event in 1988,he sailed the shipwith 17 crew fromPortugalto Mossel Bay. Today, this caravel is in theMaritime Museum, Mossel Bay.Emilio andJustina de Sousa have two children, sixgrandchildren and eight great-grandchild-ren, with a ninth on the way in Februa-ry.“Whenever people have askedEmilio andTina how they have managed to stay mar-ried for so long, they always reply that everynight they kiss each other good night, nomatter what,” says their granddaughter.
Emilio and Tina celebrate 70 years of marriage, together with their South African greatgrandchildren Justin, Kayleigh and Emilie, who all attendPanorama Primary School.

From testing the waters to jumping in,singer/songwriter, Daniel Crossing iscelebrating his first new year as a full-
time artist.With a string of interviews and songs be-
ing playlisted on local radio stations, DanielCrossing is hard at work promoting his mu-sic.“The last album that I wrote is a rock al-
bum,” Daniel explains, referring to his sev-en trackalbum,BetweenBorders andAngels.He prefers to describe his music as soul
rock though. “More soulful than anythingelse,” he adds.“Lyrics are very important to me and it’s
about expressing themeaning of those lyricsto the person listening,” Daniel says of hismusic.“I think the most significant event in my
life was when I was 13 and I wanted to writea song,” he jokes, but that’s unofficiallywhere Daniel’s musical journey began.He goes on to explain that he was trying
to write the song with his cousins and real-ised he couldn’t write a song.Officially, he was attending an opera con-
cert at City Hall and while listening to thesingers, he thought to himself: “I want to dothat.”“Since that day I took music lessons and
I started singing everywhere I could,” Dan-iel says.
Own workHe started out singing in musicals, an op-
era society and choirs, always singing otherpeople’s songs.“At some point I just got to this point
where I said: ‘Hey, but what about your ownstuff’,” Daniel explains, adding: “Aboutthree years ago I said: ‘Okay, let’s start a newjourney’.”He was standing in a music shop one day
and saw the CD of a fellow musical actor,which is where Daniel decided: “If he can doit, so can I.”As he was driving home a song came into
his mind and that was how Daniel eventual-ly did start writing his own music.It was also his long walks to work while
working in a restaurant which gave himtime to think and process and Daniel saysthat’s where his lyrics were born.
StoriesDaniel says the songs he recorded for Be-
tween Borders and Angels tell a story. “Eachsong tells a specific story and then togetherthey tell the story of starting out on thewrong side of the line, if you want to call itthat, and thenmovingover to the right side,”he explains.Daniel adds that while the album’s songs
are rock-based, there are also touches of reg-
gae rock and adult contemporary. “I tried toplay around with the sound a little bit,” hesays.
LaunchedBetween Borders andAngelswas launched
in October last year and was produced byBrendyn “Rusti” Rossouw, from HeritageSound, engineered by David Langemannand mastered by Rogan Kelsey.Daniel’s album is available online at CD-
Baby, iTunes and Amazon.Hard copies are also available from Peter
Smuts Music in Parow and Mabu Vinyl inGardens.V For more information about Daniel Crossing, visithis website at www.danielcrossing.com, where youcan also find links to his social media pages.V Daniel Crossing performed one of his new songson the Orange Couch.

INDUCTED: WOMEN’S HALL OF FAME
Top tier golf career
Charlaine Coetzee Hirst standing next to her personalised plaque after she was inducted intoWomen’s Golf Coaches Assocation (WGCA) Players Hall of Fame on 10 December in Las Vegas.
STEHAN SCHOEMAN
The achievements of Charlaine CoetzeeHirst are nothing short of remarkable,hence her induction into the Women’s
Golf Coaches Association (WGCA) PlayersHall of Fame.Charlaine (40), who hails from Durban-
ville, was inducted into the Hall of Fame on10 December in Las Vegas, Nevada.It all startedwayback in 1978,whereChar-
laine, then a mere five years old, startedswinging clubs at theDurbanville Golf Club.
Durbanville“I started playing golf when I was 5 years
old. My dad was an avid golfer and I got totag along toDurbanvilleGolf Clubwheneverhe would play. I used to take him on at chip-ping and putting contests all the time.“I have such incrediblememories of grow-
ing up playing golf at Durbanville and play-ing with the ladies’ section there. I won theLadies Club Championship twice.“My mentor was Hylda Hamilton, who
took me under her wing. I was a WesternProvince provincial representative as a jun-ior and I also captained the Fairmont HighSchool golf team,”Charlaine reflected on thegood old days. She alsowon thePrenticeCupfor u-21 females in WP.After her high school career she packed
her bags for the USA to pursue her dreamof playing professional golf.“I managed to get a college scholarship to
Longwood College in Virginia and that iswhere my “career” began. I had a great col-lege playing career – I won the NationalChampionship for Division II schools 3times while at college and in my senior year1995 I won three major awards – VirginiaWomen Athlete of the Year, Honda Awardfor Division II Athlete of the year and To-day’s Top Eight Award (highest honour thatthe NCAA awards to college athletes),” saidCharlaine.
ProfessionalThe tonewas set for theprofessional ranks
after a dream amateur career, turning pro-fessional in 1996 and playing on the tour fornine years.She won the LPGA T&CP Southeast Sec-
tion Championship in 2009, including sever-al other top 10 finishes during her career.She also had some success on home soilwhen se placed second in both the South Af-rican Women’s Open and Telkom Classic in2001.These days Charlaine is at theWhispering
Pines Country Club as a Class A teachingprofessional. She runs a chippers camp forjunior golfers.“I love teaching golf. I have my own busi-
ness – Golflessonsnc.com and I run my ownjunior golf camps during the summer schoolholidays. I return to South Africa once ayear and visit my family. I also always tryto get to Durbanville Golf Club and join theladies’ group for a round or two.”
SAREL BURGER
Ná sy onverwagte nederlaag die afgelopenaweek is dit vir Brackenfell se seniorkrieketspan neusie verby wat beker-aspi-rasies in die Boland se eendagkompetisiebetref – behalwe as hy die Maties die ko-mende naweek twéé keer die kous oor diekop kan trek.Afgesien van sy ligabepaling Saterdag
tuis teen die onoorwonne Stellenbosse stu-
dente, ry Brackenfell Sondag ook Coetzen-burg toe vir sy uitgestelde wedstryd vandie eerste ronde teen die Maties.Alleenlik oorwinnings in albei hierdie
kragmetings sal die Brakke in die wedloopom die trofee hou.Dié situasie is as gevolg van Brackenfell
se tweede agtereenvolgende nederlaag inhierdie kompetisie toe Paarl (182/7) die Ty-gerbergers Saterdag met 3 paaltjies geklophet.
Wiaan Smit (43 en 3/33) kanmet reg baieongelukkig voel dat sy Brackenfell-span-maats hom so lelik in die steek gelaat het.In hul uitgestelde wedstryd Sondag teen
die Victoriane het die Brakke (189/5) da-rem hulself reggeruk om met vyf paaltjieste wen. Sean Kristal (68), Smit (56), OckertErasmus (3/21) en Michael Loubser (3/27)was die manne wat die knoop deurgehakhet.Kraaifontein se Oostelikes, wat die hele
seisoen nog sukkel, het met ’n baie verbe-terde poging teen Coronation van Pniel vo-rendag gekom, maar sy 207 lopies wassteeds nie genoeg om die besoekers se tel-ling van 227/9 verby te steek nie.FabianFaro (3/37), RyanCanning (56) en
Zac Qwabe (34) het die beste bydraes gele-wer.Wie weet, dalk kan die Kraaie die span
van Paarl-Oos Saterdag op die Louis Smal-ovaal laat les opsê.
