This was outlined in a statement written by vol- unteers of the community-based organisa- tion, the Centre for Justice and Crime Pre- vention (CJCP). CJCP support worker Erica van der Heev- er, shared the statement via email with Ty- gerBurger this week. She says they are concerned that violence in Wesbank causes post-traumatic stress among a number of children, and that the youngsters are struggling to cope with the effects of violence. “Due to the constant shooting and vio- lence taking place in the area, there was a need to intervene with our young children attending our weekly children’s club,” Van der Heever said. Several children have also fallen victim to recent gang-related shootings. Two girls, aged 2 and 5 years old, were shot and wound- ed in the last two months. A boy (13) was also shot dead last month in a suspected gang-re- lated incident. “The shootings in the area poses a great concern and often people are not aware of the trauma and the effect it has on one’s body and psychological wellbeing,” says van der Heever. Assessing the effects “The children are put at risk because they are not always able to make sense of what is happening and it impacts on their ability to function and cope,” she explained. The children attending the club are be- tween the ages of 5 and 12 years old. Van der Heever says their symptoms in- clude having difficulty sleeping, an inability to concentrating, having nightmares and in- creased levels of anxiety. “The CJCP made contact with The Trau- ma Centre in Observatory to assess the chil- drens’ emotional wellbeing.” Within a controlled and supportive envi- ronment, the children were then free to ex- press themselves. “The session gave the children an oppor- tunity to share their emotions and discuss ways to manage their safety better,” she said. Building partnerships Albert Fritz, Western Cape minister for so- cial development, says: “The Western Cape is affected by a violent gang culture which not only terrorizes some of our communities, but also peddles drugs into the area. “This causes serious social problems, which has necessitated our response as the Western Cape local government to be coordi- nated in a whole-of-society approach.” He said key to this approach is building partnerships within all spheres of govern- ment, NGOs, civil society, the private sector, and individuals. Ewald Botha, the spokesperson for Dan Plato, provincial minister for community safety, said that the safety of the youth in the province is of great concern to the minister. “The community of Wesbank has been greatly affected by the deaths of young peo- ple or people from the community being ex- posed to violence. “From a community safety point of view, minister Plato believes that a ‘whole-of-soci- ety’ approach is necessary to increase safety in our province. This relies on meaningful partnerships being forged,” Botha said. V To page 2 Most fly B-Boy ever The African hip-hop indaba recently took place at the Good Hope Centre.

Fritz added: “All stakeholders have an im-portant role to play, and we continue to callon the South African police to increase pa-trols and reinstate the specialised gangunits.“Specialised gang units have the capacity
to conduct investigations, gather intelligen-ce and evidence, and make arrests, thus se-riouslymakingadent indismantlinggangs.“The department of social development
plays its part by providing and supportingsocial services and interventions aimed atreducing substance abuse and violence incommunities. These are especially aimed atensuring that children are kept safe.”
Active parenthoodVan der Heever listed some of the signs
of post traumatic stress that parents canlook out for. These include a sudden changein academic performance, angry outbursts
or becoming withdrawn and increasinglyisolated.Post traumatic stress, she emphasised, al-
somakes childrenmore open to experimen-ting with drugs and alcohol, as a way to ‘de-al’ with the pain.“It is therefore vital that you seek profes-
sional help. Assistance could be obtainedfromyour local community health centre ortrauma centre,” Van der Heever suggested.Botha said: “Active parenthood has innu-
merable facets which no government canreplicate or even enforce.“A parents’ role is being a rolemodel for
their children, guiding their children onpaths steering clear from substance abuseand drugs, and ensuring that their childrenknow the difference between right andwrong,” Botha said.V Contact the trauma centre on 021 465 7373 or theCJCP on 021 908 3100.

rival gangs in the area, but could not con-firm which gangs are involved.“It’s been going for some time now. It was
quiet for a while, but then the violenceflared up again,” she said.In the most recent shooting incident, a
three-year-old boy was shot and wounded.The child suffered a graze to the head last
Thursday in Park Lane, Spandau.Four cartridges were found in the street,
with one also found inside the boy’s house.The childwas taken to theTygerbergHos-
pital for treatment, Mothoalo said and acase of attempted murder is being investi-gated.The police are also investigating a mur-
der case following the death of 19-year-oldAdrian Abrahams who was shot dead twodays earlier in the same street.“According to the residents, they heard
six to eight shots fired.They saw the victim fall to the ground. He
was shot in the lower back,” Mothoalo said.Adrian died at the scene.Earlier that day, a 30-year-oldmanwas al-
so shot at in Anemore Street, Kleinvlei.However, he survived the attack after be-
ing shot and wounded in the stomach.“He sustained one gunshot wound to his
left thighand two tohis stomach,”Mothoalosaid.A Congolese national was also fired at on
the same day at a barber shop in KeeromStreet, Kleinvlei.“The suspect pointed at the complainant
with the firearm, fired two shots butmissed,” Mothoalo explained.No arrests have yet been made.“We want the community members to
keep the children indoors when shots arebeing fired.”She warned people to not go out into the
streets when shooting incidents occur.“Residents must also try to help us with
information to bring these criminals tobook. With their help we can get more con-victions.”“The public must come out and assist us
with any information,” she urged.The police have also confiscated several
firearms over the past few weeks.To address crime in the area the police –
alongwith communityNGOs, churches, theCommunity Police Forum (CPF) and neigh-bourhood watches – have started a multi-sectorial task team.“We will focus on the youth who join
gangs. We have noticed that some of thelearners in the area take weapons withthem to school.“The gangs recruit these youngsters,”

With the cold wet winter coming to anend, reptiles such as snakes will soonbe coming out of hibernation.“Snakes are an important natural
part of our environment, helping tocontrol rodents and other disease-car-rying pests,” says Shaun MacLeod, di-rector of Reptile Education AwarenessConsultants (REAC).He explainswhat to do if youdiscover
a snake.“Most people are bitten when trying
to kill or handle a snake. As a generalrule, snakes are just as frightened ofyou as possibly could be of them.“Often theymove as quickly as possi-
ble in the other direction. Snakes willonly defend themselves if threatenedand will not attack anyone who leavesthem alone,” he says.“Do not attempt to capture or disturb
it. Leave it alone but keep an eye onwhere it is.” He says it is best to phonehim so that the animal can be safely re-located back into the wild.“If you keep your grass cut short,
trees well trimmed and clean up allyour building rubble, just to mention afew, then there is less likelihood forsnakes to reside on your property,” hesuggests.V Contact Shaun, also the coordinator of theWestern Cape Snake Emergency Rescue Volun-teer Team, on 082 532 5033 or [email protected].

Heelparty inwoners van Blue DownsEstate naby Blackheath het verledeweek in Buttskopweg met plakkate in
die hand hul stem dik gemaak teen die be-plande uitsetting van 15 huisgesinne in diéwoonbuurt.Die groep het verlede Donderdag vroegog-
gend by ’n verkeersirkel betoog teen die be-plande uitsetting van voormalige werkersby die Stad Kaapstad se departement vanwaterwerke.“Wees verseker ons gaan nêrens,” en
“Bongi Madikizela, stop die uitsettings,” isvan die bewoording op die plakkate wat ty-dens spitsverkeer rondgeswaai is. Jonk enoud het op die middelman byeengekom omhul misnoeë teen die uitsettings uit tespreek.
BrieweTygerBurger het verlede week berig van
die 15 gesinne wat op 23 Julie briewe by dieStad Kaapstad ontvang het waarin versoekword om die munisipale eiendom teen 1 Ok-tober te verlaat. Die huise in die gebied isbeskikbaar vir werkers by die departementvan waterwerke se reservoir langs Polka-draai in Blackheath. Ernest Sonnenberg,burgemeesterskomiteelid vir nutsdienste,het verlede week aan TygerBurger gesê diehuise is bedoel virwerkers bydie aanlegwatsoms ongewone skofte werk.Die 15 inwoners wat elk ’n brief ontvang
het, is eerder afgetredenes, of werk by ’n an-der depot, het ’n gemeenskapsleier gesê.Mlugisi Ndatyni, een van die betogers, het
gesê: “Ons mense werk al lank vir die Stad;nou moet ons uit. Ek self werk al 21 jaar virdie munisipaliteit.”Hy beweer dat huidige werkers wat reeds
huise elders besit, by Blue Downs Estate wil
intrek en hul eiendom dan wil verhuur vir’n bykomende inkomste.Een vrou met wie TygerBurger gepraat
het, het vertel hoe onveiligBlueDownsEsta-te is. “Ek is verlede Vrydag in my huis deur’n groepmans aangeval, gedreig en byna be-roof. Dis nie veilig in die plek nie. Ek is am-per doodgemaak in my eie huis,” het ElsabeMiggels, die inwoner, gesê.Inwoners beweer ook dat die huise nie in
stand gehouword nie – iets waarvoor die be-stuur by die aanleg en die raad glo verant-woordelik is.
Instandhouding“Daar word jaarliks geld beskikbaar ge-
stel vir die huise se instandhouding,” hetMiggels, wat al 19 jaar daar bly, gesê.Sophie Kannemeyer, voorsitter van die
Kleinvlei-behuisingsvereniging, het gesê
die komitee het Vrydag saam met lede vandie Blue Downs-behuisingskomitee proku-reurs genader om regshulp.“Hulle (die prokureurs) het gesê hulle sal
ons oor twee weke laat weet of ons aansoeksuksesvol is. Die mense het nie geld nie enkan nie prokureurs bekostig nie.“Onsgemeenskapgaannie treknie, hulle
bly in die huise. Waarheen anders moethulle gaan?” het Kannemeyer gesê.Hendrik Lameyer, NP-leier in Blue
Downs, het gesê: “Waarheenmoet die men-se gaan? Moet hulle ook nou êrens gaanplak?Ons sit reedsmet ’n groot plakkerpro-bleem.”Bert van Dalen, wyksraadslid, het gesê:
“Ek het met ’n afvaardiging van die inwo-ners samesprekings gevoer en belowe datek oor die saak uitklaring sal soek by dieStad Kaapstad.”
Gemeenskap betoog teen geweld en bendesRICHARD ROBERTS
@richardjohn_rj
Kerkgangers en inwoners van Wesbank hetdie afgelopenaweekdié gebied se strate inge-vaar uit protes teen geweld, bendes en ar-moede.Die gebedsoptog is gereël deur die kerk
Lightlife Ministries in samewerking metnog ander kerke in die gebied.Daar is Sondagmiddagkortná etenstyduit
al die hoeke van Wesbank gestap, gebid, ge-dril enmusiek gemaak, het een van die kerk-leiers gesê.Lede van die Ex Prison Ministries – ’n
kerk toegewy aan voormalige gevangenes –het ook gemeenskaplede op sekere punte toe-gespreek en hul getuienis gelewer.Naas die kerke het ’n brigade van Lente-
geur,MitchellsPlain enblaasorkesvanDelftook die staptog meegemaak.Past. Jonathan Pretorius, leier van die
WesbankseBaptiste-kerk, het bynavraagge-sê die dag is gereël om Wesbank-inwonerste betrek en geestelik aan te moedig.
“Ons het gebid soos ons gestap het. Dieidee was om geweld, bende en armoede aante spreek.“Dit was ’n taamlike groot affêre; ons was
omtrent 1 000wat teenwoordigwas,”hetPre-torius gesê.Oud en jonk het vanaf Blok A tot by Blok
E gestap, het hy gesê.“Daar was verskillende groepe en ons het
later die middag almal bymekaar ingeska-kel.“Die boodskap is goed ontvang. Heelparty
mense het ook oor hul eie ervaring gepraat;ons vertel oor hul kinders wat by bendes be-trokke is.“Sommiges het ook hul hart vir die Here
gegee,” het Pretorius gesê.Volgens hom het heelwat jongmense ook
hul persoonlike situasie met kerkleiers ge-deel.“Die kinders het gehuil en gesê hulle wil
nie meer deel wees van ’n bende nie,” hetPretorius vertel.Pretorius het die dag as ’n reusesukses be-
skryf en aangedui dat hulle dit jaarliks sou
wou aanbied.Edith van Wyk, ’n gemeenskapswerker
en lid van die gemeenskapspolisiëringsfo-rum, wat die staptog Sondag meegemaakhet, het gesê: “Ek dink dis iets goeds, disiets wat die gemeenskap nodig het.“Mense het sulke positiewe en goeie din-
ge nodig.”Sy stel voor dat meer sulke inisiatiewe
aangebied word.“En nie net wanneer die moorde en ge-
weld opvlam nie, dit moet deurlopend ge-doen word,” het sy gesê.Sy meen die staptog het ’n impak op die
meeste van die jeug gehad.“Die groep wat eintlik geteiken moet
word, is die bendes wat die gebied vir hul-self toeëien,” het sy gesê.Ricardo le Roux, gemeenskapsleier, het
gesê hy verwelkom die kerke se inisiatief,maar het gesê meer mense, veral mans,moet by buurtwagte aansluit om sodoendedie geweld hok te slaan.“Die moorde vind meestal snags plaas,”
het Le Roux gesê.

Hartseertonele het die afgelope Sater-dag by die Nuwe Apostoliese-kerk inVasco, Goodwood afgespeel waar die
bekende renjaer, Marlize Hoon, se begraf-nisdiens gehou is.Hoon, van Goodwood, is verlede week
dood toe haar motorfiets op die hoek vanVoortrekkerweg en Bothastraat in Good-woodmet ’n bakkie gebots het. Sy het by diehospitaal aan haar wonde beswyk.Groot groepe mense van verskeie motor-
en motorfietsklubs het hul laaste eer kombetoon aan Marlize, wat in straatrenkringeas die Hoonigan bekend gestaan het.Die oorheersende sentiment was dat haar
dood ’n groot verlies is vir petrolkoppe, soosmotor-geesdriftiges ook bekend staan.Meeras 500 mense het die kerk volgepak, metsommiges wat moes staan omdat daar nieplek was nie.Die oggend van die diens het lede van die
motorklub waarvan sy ’n stigterslid was,die VWMKII Owners Club, ’n konvooi voorhaar ouerhuis gevorm.’n Marlize-kenteken, IB6UB9, was op die

het motorfietsryers van die Black Angels-klub ’n erewag gevorm en die kis met hul
valhelms gesalueer.Marlize se ma, Yvonne, het gestaan met
trane in haar oë en haar se dogter se val-helm in haar hand.Marlize se suster, Claire, sê Sondag het
vriende en kennisse by die McDonalds byN1-stad bymekaar gekom vanwaar daar in’n konvooi na die ongelukstoneel gery is.“Ek het haar motor bestuur en het voor
in die konvooi gery. Daar was baie mense.“By die ongelukstoneel het ons ’n minuut
vanstilte gehad, twee lanterns enpersballo-ne die lug ingestuur en nog blomme neerge-lê,” sê Claire.Volgens Claire is die familie steeds ver-
pletter deur Marlize se dood. “Dit is nogsteedsbaiemoeilikomteglowat gebeurhet.“Alles voel nog so onwerklik, maar ons
troos ons daaraan dat sy op ’n beter plek is,”het Claire hartseer gesê.Saterdag en Sondag se eerbetonings was
nie die laaste nie. Op 20 September gaandaar ’n spesiale geleentheid by die Killar-ney-renbaan wees omMarlize se lewe te ge-denk.Marlizewas ’n bekende jaer opKillar-ney. Claire het ’n beroep op mense gedoenom op dié dag by hulle aan te sluit.Marlize word vandeesweek veras, waar-

’nMan vanWesbank is dood nadat diewendyhuis, waarin hy gewoon het,afgebrand het.
Raymond Hendricks (54) van Diepwater-straat,Wesbankwas alleen tuis toe hy verle-de Maandagnag deur die vlamme oorweldigis. ’n Steenhuis langsaan is ook gedeeltelikbeskadig.Die huis behoort aan Rosaline Storms,
wat die wendyhuis aan Raymond verhuurhet. Leticia Storms, Rosaline se kleindogter,het verlede week aan TygerBurger verteldaar is geen elektriese bedrading binne diewendy-huis nie.Sy kon nie sê wat die brand veroorsaak
het nie,maar daarword vermoed dat ’n kersdalk daarvoor verantwoordelik is.Raymond, ’n motorwerktuigkundige, was
volgens inwoners byna onherkenbaarweens die erge brandwonde.Sy twee seuns sou hul pa verlede week by
die Tygerberg-hospitaal se staatslykhuisuitgeken het.“Die wonde is te erg en hulle moes ’n foto
van Raymond op ’n skerm vir sy seuns wysom hom uit te ken.
“DNS-toetse moet nou gedoen word om syidentiteit te bevestig,” het Leticia vertel.Die proses het ook daartoe gelei dat sy be-
grafnis vir nog ’n week uitgestel moes word.Raymond se spieëlkas, klerekas, matras
en rekenaar het ook in die slag gebly.“Die muur en venster van ons huis binne-
kant is ook beskadig,” het Leticia gesê. Nie-mand anders is egter beseer nie.Volgens Leticia het bure die betrokke nag
probeer help om die ergste vlamme te blus.“Teen die tyd toe die brandweer hier op-
daag, het dit nog gebrand,” het sy gesê.Theo Layne, woordvoerder van die Stad
Kaapstad se brandweerdienste, het gesê hul-le is om 23:23 na die toneel ontbied.“Twee brandweerwaens, ’n watertenkwa
en ’n reddingsvoertuig van onderskeidelikdie Mfuleni- en Belhar-stasies het op dienoodoproep gereageer,” het hy gesê.Volgenshom is die brandveroorsaakdeur
’n brandende kers.Edith van Wyk, ’n gemeenskapswerker,
het verduidelik dat Cynthia Claassen,raadslid, die gesin sal probeer bystaan metdie reëlings vir die begrafnis.“Die burgemeester het ’n fonds beskik-
baar gestel vir mense wat nie begrafnispo-lisse het nie,” het Van Wyk gesê.

The Athlone School of the Blind in Bel-lville South may soon be able to pro-vide some tasty fruit platters to the
community.This is because they hosted some Arbor
Week celebrations last weekwith help fromKirstenbosch Botanical Gardens.Roleen Ellman, Deputy Director: Biodi-
versity Education and Empowerment Di-rectorate of the SouthAfricanNational Bio-diversity Institute (SANBI) at Kirstenboschexplained that the project kicked off lastweek as part of their awareness-raising pro-gramme.“Having planted an indigenous garden at
the school for Mandela Day earlier thisyear, we extended our relationshipwith theschool to Arbor Week,” she said.“Every year, the Department of Agricul-
ture, Forestry and Fisheries (DAFF) pro-vides trees to a large number of organisa-tions for Arbor Week.The trees planted yesterday were part of
the batch of trees we received from DAFF.“An earlier site visit to the school and dis-
cussions with the teachers led to 10 fruittrees and 10 indigenous trees being plant-ed.”Roleen also pointed out that the staff en-
joyed spending time with the learners.“The team from the Kirstenbosch Garden
included two staff members from our direc-torate as well as a number of staff memberswhowork directly in various sections of theGarden.”
While the latter staffmemberswork dailywith the propagation, planting and mainte-nance of plants within the garden, theyhave never previously had the opportunityto plant within a community context.“All of them thoroughly enjoyed the expe-
rience which was made exceptionally spe-cial by the fact that, although the learnersare sight-impaired, they succeeded in plant-ing the trees.”–She added that in all circumstances edu-
cation and empowerment is central to theirwork.“We always teach the participants how to
plant correctly.The learners and teachers enthusiastical-
ly helped the Kirstenbosch Garden staffmembers when the first set of trees wereplanted and they were shown the correctmethod to plant trees.They then stepped back as the learners
and teachers planted the second batch oftrees – only providing guidance as andwhen it was needed.“Each tree was labelled by one of the
teachers as belonging to the group of learn-ers who planted them.“This was the start of the process where-
by each group of learners will assume re-sponsibility for the care of their trees.“We are hoping that the 10 orange trees
will grow quite quickly and allow the learn-ers to literally enjoy the fruits of their la-bour. The species of indigenous trees plant-ed are well suited to the conditions of theCape Flats and should therefore grow welland eventually not only provide shade, butalso contribute to the school’s green envi-ronment.”

Viwe Matolweniwas recentlyrecognised as thebest student atFalse Bay College.
Laying the bricks of successViwe Matolweni of Dunoon is not only amaster builder, but also the only femalebricklayer apprentice in the City of CapeTown sharing her skills with at theWestla-ke Campus of the False Bay College.The City has a group of 23 apprentices
participating in a bricklaying apprentice-ship at the college and the only woman inthe group has outshone her colleagues.She was recently recognised as the best
student at the college’s annual awards anddiploma ceremony. Viwe is a wife, motherand a bricklayer of note.She says she always wanted to be in con-
struction somehow.“I often looked at buildings and other con-
structions. I wondered how they did it andI knew it was what I wanted to do,” says Vi-we. Although it’s hardwork, she enjoys eve-ry moment of her job in the Transport divi-sion forCapeTownDirectorate, holdingherown with her male colleagues.“It can be very tiring but I have a suppor-
tive husband. Some evenings he takes overthe cooking and sees to our four-year-oldson. When people hear what I do, they tell
me it’s not a job for a woman. I’m provingthem wrong,” she laughs.The City’s mayoral committee member
for corporate services, Xanthea Limberg,said the City was living up to its strategicintent ofmakingCape Town an opportunitycity and providing work and learning op-portunities.“The City works hard to provide opportu-
nities to women, including our targeted ap-prenticeship and bursary programmes. Inthis way, we are making progress possiblefor our residents – together,” says Limberg.The City has awarded 953 bursaries to fe-
male staff members for 2014, totalling R1,5million. The apprentice programme provi-des direct job opportunities for people in theCity. It also provides successful graduateswith skills that are highly desirable in themarket place, should they choose to pursueother avenues of employment.“We’re especially proud ofwomen likeVi-
we who juggle several roles and are dedica-ted to each of them. They are an asset to theCity, their families and communities,” con-cludes Limberg.
A campaign to promote medical male cir-cumcisionhas been steppedup in theWes-tern Cape with the launch of two mobilesurgical theatres.Circumcision, which can be done in 30
minutes, can protect men against HIV in-fection as well as sexually transmitted in-fections.The mobile surgical theatres, about the
size of an average bread truck, will travelthrough the Winelands, Overberg andEden areas in the Western Cape, stoppingoff at towns, villages and communitiesalong the way. Theywere launched by theSACTWU Worker Health Programme(SWHP) at a community soccer event atStellenbosch recently. WHP has partne-red with theWestern Cape Health Depart-ment, as well as the Desmond Tutu TBCentre (DTTC) at Stellenbosch Universi-ty’s Parow campus in helping to roll outMMCat nine clinics in theWinelands andin and around Cape Town.Research trials in South Africa, Kenya
and Uganda have shown that MMC redu-ces the risk of contracting HIV by 60%.The government has set a target of medi-cally circumcising 4.3 million men in
SouthAfrica by 2016.Over 1.3millionmenhave been medically circumcised inSouth Africa since the government laun-ched its MMC campaign in 2010.MMC is potentially a life-saving proce-
dure for thousands of South Africans byreducing the risk ofHIV transmissionbet-ween heterosexuals.“We’re finding very fewmen are asking
for MMC at clinics. We need to think outof the box – so we’ll be launching radio ad-verts and putting branding on taxis andspaza shops to encouragemen to getmedi-cally circumcised through our ‘Get Wise,Circumcise’ campaign,” said Nikki So-boil, CEO of SWHP. A cartoon character,Clever Dick is the campaign’s ambassa-dor. At the launch,men andwomen gathe-red at the sports ground in Stellenboschto play five-a-side soccer.Men also poppedin to themobile surgical theatres to be cir-cumcised.“I’ve been wanting to do this for a long
time because I want to lower my risk ofgetting HIV and STDs. I’ve done it for myown health, as well as to protect my girl-friend,” said a youngman resting after hiscircumcision.

Estate and rental agents arefinding it increasingly hard toplace people in townhousecomplexes as a result of thenew no pets allowed ruling.However, this rule does notalways fall under the rules ofthe complex, but is one whichhas been included in houserules by the Home OwnersCommittee.One can accept that cats are
– or can be – a problem, as youcannot keep them confined toyour property and they canbecome a nuisance to neigh-bours when they enter theirhomes through a window, stealfood, spraying or fighting. Yetsmall dogs, where the tenant isat home most of the day, rarelycauses a problem except forthe occasional bark. Is that notwhat they are there for – as anextra alarm?Again, one can understand
when a pet is left at homealone all day and is lockedoutside, that it will barkconstantly.As a call to thehomes owners committees,could these hard and fast nopet rules not be amended toinclude small dogs – the heightcan be specified – where thereis someone home most of theday? Come on everyone, ouranimals are what make thislife worth living – let’s bemore lenient towards otherswho are animal lovers.

As a warning to all beach-goersand dog owners, please be onthe lookout for a wild, extreme-ly dangerous, unleashed anduncontrollable Rottweiler. Thisanimal attacked my wife andour two little dogs on Saturday23 August. Neither of our dogsprovoked or gave reason forthis dog to attack them.
Watch out forvicious Rottweiler
Regrettably, our 3.7kg Maltesepoodle Sally, was attacked,bitten and shaken like a ragdoll. She died two hours lateron the veterinary surgeon’stable.Both of our dogs were secure-
ly leashed. Sally was thesmallest dog on the beach at thetime. My wife was bitten tryingto separate the dogs. Oursecond dog was also bitten onher back leg during the attack.Besides the devastating loss ofour little Sally, there are theunnecessary financial costs forvet bills amounting to close toR7000.The owner of the vicious dog
is a slim young woman in hermid-20s with a young boy ofabout three.She tried to give mywife her details, but neither ofthem had a pen or paper andour main concern was gettingSally to the vet.Besides warning other
beach-goers, I want the ownerto know the consequence of herirresponsible action of bringingthis unleashed animal into apublic space.

Kindersdreig kinders met messe enskoolkinders word soggens ensmiddae gejaag. Daar is groe-pies jong bendelede wat skool-kinders inwag. Die polisie moeteintlik by skole patrolleer en bypunte waar skoolkindersopgelaai en afgelaai word.Dan is daar die bendelede
wat huise beset – daar is eenwat in Delft-Suid meer as 30huise het. Waar is die regteeienaars? Gaan hulle weeraansoek doen op ander mensese name? As die polisie danregtig welslae wil behaal, moethulle saam met wetstoepassingaksie neem. Maar hulle wilalleen dinge doen en hul doendit nie so goed soos wat hullesê nie. Die kriminele is bangvir wetstoepassingoffisiere.Onswil aksie van die polisie sien.

land vir hulle!Heyneke Meyer en sy afrigtingspan
moet slapelose nagte hê van hoe hulle indié kragmeting darem met ’n tikseltjieeer uit die stryd gaan tree. Want dievooruitsigte lyk beroerd.As die Springbokke speel soos in hul
eerste drie wedstryde, gaan die AllBlacks hulle fynmaal en verneder soosselde vantevore.Dit sal ’n grootse spanpoging van die
Suid-Afrikaners verg. Nie alleen sal hullenie kan bekostig om so onoordeelkundigte skop soos teen Australië nie, maar diewerkverrigting van hul pak voorspelersen die algemene verdediging van die spansal met reuse-spronge moet verbeter.Voer hulle die All Blacks ook met
aanhoudende skoppe soos dit hullegebruik tot dusver in die reeks was, gaandit ’n drieëfees aan die kant van dieNieu-Seelanders afgee.’n Mens verstaan eenvoudig nie hoe
swaarverdiende balbesit keer op keerweggeskop word nie! Dit maak nierugbysin nie.Kan die Springbokke hul sukkelseisoen
omkeer met ’n verrassing Saterdag?

Speedsters came under the spotlight whenmore than 1000 fines were issued duringoperations by provincial traffic authoritiesover the weekend.The highest speed recorded during a pro-
vincial traffic operation this weekend, wasrecorded in Brackenfell.Al-Ameen Kafaar, spokesperson for the
Western Cape Department of Transportand Public Works, says a driver travelling186 km/h in a 120km/h zone on the N1 inBrackenfell, was pulled over by provincialtraffic services during a weekend trafficoperation.“This was one of 1210 speeding offences
recorded province wide, during which 13112 vehicles were screened for speeding,”he says.Eight fatalities were reported overthe weekend, three of which were in thenorthern suburbs.In Bellville one person died in a vehicle
accident and in Milnerton two pedestrianswere killed,” says Kafaar.Furthermore, 24 alcohol blitz roadblocks
across theWestern Cape saw a total of 2 643vehicles stopped as part of a ProvincialTraffic services safety campaign.“A total of 1 361 driverswere screened for
being under suspicion of driving under theinfluence of alcohol resulting in 24 arrests,while 261 fines were issued for various traf-fic violations ranging from driver to vehi-cle fitness to the amount of R357 900,” headds.

Cellphone users in theNorthern Sub-urbs can look forward to lightning-fast internet with amassive networkupgrade on the cards.Steven Barnwell, managing execu-
tive for Vodacom’s operations in theWesternCape, announced that aR600million upgrade for network invest-ment in the entireCapeMetro and ru-ral areas of the province will be im-plemented in the current financialyear.“The bulk of this amount will go to-
wards the network renewal and ex-panding our fibre optic network inthis region.“We’re also planning to increase
the number of 3G and LTE base sta-tions bymore than 50%, addingmorethan 280 new sites,” he said.“We’re also expanding our net-
work in the rural areas by adding 24new specialised 3G sites optimised tocover large areas. This means thatwe’re bringing faster data speeds totens of thousands of people who cur-rently only have Edge data services.”This upgrade will increase net-
work capacity and provide improvedvoice quality and enhanced mobiledata speeds across the city. With theexpansion of LTE sites in the city,smartphone users will also be able totake advantage of fast LTE downloadspeeds.“With LTE, video andmusic down-
loads can be accomplished in a frac-tion of the time of traditional 3G serv-ices,” he says.While speed is a key consideration
in this technology upgrade, addingcapacity is also a major focus. One ofVodacom’smajor strategic objectivesis to sustainably reduce the cost tocommunicate. Barnwell explains.“It would be simple to just reduce
call rates and data prices but thiswould be a disaster if rate reductionswere not supported by network in-vestment to cope with the increaseddemand. Vodacom’s strategy entailsinvesting billions of rands on the net-work to provide this additional ca-pacity and ensure we’re bringingdown the cost to communicate on asustainable basis,with increased vol-umes offsetting lower prices.”

Toe doen die Tiere dit weer! HS Tyger-berg se o.19-rugbyspan het die afgelopenaweek vir die vierde keer in vyf jaar
as die kampioen uit die stryd getree by dieVillager-klub se sewemantoernooi.Maar maklik het dit gewis nie gegaan nie
– in ag genome dat die Parowiete in diekwarteindrondeeersvirPaulRoosGimnasi-um met 17-14 moes uitskakel, daarna PaarlGimnasium met 24-22 in die halfeindrondemoes klop en toe op uiters spanningsvollewyse met 26-24 met Biskoppe in die eind-stryd moes afreken.
SaamtrekVoorverlede week was die Tiere ook vir
die soveelste keer die kampioen in die Ty-gerbergstreek seWingfield-Motors enBoeke24/7 se jaarlikse saamtrek.HS Excelsior het ook ’n goeie toernooi be-
leef. Nadat hy HSS Wynberg – een van diegunstelinge vir die titel – in die kwarteind-ronde met 29-10 laat les opsê het, is die spanvan Belhar in die halfeindronde met 19-14deur Biskoppe gestuit.Tygerberg-klub het vroegdag ook skaflik
gevaar deur die kwarteindronde te haal,voor hy die trekpas gekry het.By die HS Durbanville se Peter Buttner
Sport-sewestoernooi vir o.14-spanne hetStellenberg die beste gevaar van die spannein die Tygerbergstreek.Die Stellies het in die halfeindronde Dur-
banville weggeskouer, maar is in die eind-stryd deur HJS Paarl getroef.De Kuilen, Brackenfell en HS Tygerberg

Durbanville-Bellville sal as die enig-ste verteenwoordiger van die Tyger-bergstreek eerskomendeSaterdag opCity Park in die kwarteindronde vandieWP se splinternuwe Presidentbe-ker-kompetisie teen Valsbaai testaan kom.Die Durbies gaan saam met Vals-
baai, Maties, Ikeys, Hamilton enVic-toriane as die ses top-klubspanne indie WP in ’n uitklopkompetisie omdie Presidentbeker meeding.Die onderste agt spanne (van die
A-afdeling in die afgehandelde Su-perliga) het reeds die afgelope na-week koppe gestamp in die kwart-eindronde van ’n afsonderlike kom-petisie. As daar na die eerste uitslaevan hierdie “na-seisoense” uitklop-kompetisie gekyk word, is dit duide-lik sommige spanne pak dit nie meterns aan nie. UWK (31-7 t Primrose),Kuilsrivier (57-7 t Helderberg) enBelhar (74-5 t Bellville) het wel hulplekke in die halfeindronde be-spreek, maar die 2014-rugbyseisoenis verby vir Tygerberg-klub, wat met17-66 t SK/Walmer verloor het, enNoordelikes/Northlink-kollege, watas die heel onderste span op die pun-teleer glad nie in berekening van diekompetisie gebring is nie. Milnertonen Brackenfell sal saam met vier an-der spanne vanaf die komende na-week sake uitspook in die topafde-ling van die uitklopkompetisie virspanne in die B-afdeling.

WP REGIONAL KARTING CHAMPS: ON THE CREST OF A WAVE
Burnin’ up the track
You can expect the regular Max Challenge melee this weekend. PHOTO: MARK ZEEMAN
Western Cape karting is riding thecrest of a wave, with local racersstaying on top of the SA karting
championships.Two Cape lads clinched tickets to the Ro-
tax Max World Kart Finals in Spain laterthis year at lastweekend’sAfricanOpen rac-es in Gauteng.They will be racing at Killarney’s penulti-
mate seventh round of theWP regional kart-ing championship at Killarney this Satur-day, withmore than enough action expectedacross the board as the local championshipsnow start coming to a head.One of the Cape men to book his ticket to
the world finals this past weekend wasSAKRA TonyKart driver, 2012 SA Juniorand 2013 Max Challenge Champion EugeneDeneyssen, who will no doubt be out to con-tinue his winning ways despite a difficultseason so far.Eugene will have his work cut out for him
to stop reigning SA andWPRotaxMaxChal-lenge 125 champion LukeHerring (RKTKos-mic) from continuing his quest to repeatdouble titles and hopefully join Deneyssenin Spain.Don’t discount (IndyOil Birel), JonoAber-
dein (Tony) and Julian van der Watt (Zanar-di), all of whom had positive African Openoutings last week or Joshua Dolinschek
(Makita Kosmic) and Kohen Bam (SAKRAZanardi) from a mounting a Max ChallengeSurprise.Kohen Bam (SAKRA RKT Kosmic) also
booked himself a World Final ticket lastweek, but his WP championship is nowherenear done and dusted as his kid brotherHen-ry Bam (SAKRA RKT Kosmic) and arch-ri-
val DelanoFowler (SuprocomTonyKart) areall all embroiled in a WP Rotax Junior Maxtight title race.Expect the action to be just as fraught in
the Junior Max midfield the duelling DinoStermin (Designer Trims Zanardi), ChadleySwartz (SAKRARKTKosmic), Giordano Lu-pini (La Vie de Luc AutoWeek Zanardi), Isa-
belle Fowler (Supracom TonyKart) and Se-bastian Boyd (Boyd Boss Freight Kosmic)are embroiled in an ever tighter tussle foran important fourthanddoubleWPMaxteri-no champion Dario Busi (AutomanTonyKart) intent to beat the lot of them.The primary school Maxterino 60s can be
guaranteed to deliver their regular thrillswith Africa Open runner-up Jason Coetzee(Zanardi) wanting to upstage triple-champi-onship leader JP Hamman (RKT Kosmic),Charl Visser (Battery Kosmic) and AidanStrydom (TurboTech TonyKart) and a fleetof Zanardis in the hands of Joseph Oelz,StormLanfear, Kai van Zyl, Tate Bishop andTyler Croy always ready to pick up the piec-esUpcountry visitors have spiced up the Ro-
tax DD2 gearbox class of late but local cham-pionship leader JonathanThomas (PartnersHair Zanardi) will be out to keep Zanardi ri-vals Stephen Wells and Luke van Rensburgbehind, while the dominant JohanHamman(Hammanshof Birel) will be set to continuein his unlikely quest to catch DD2 Masterstitle leader Jacques de Bruyn (Zanardi) andsecond man Vic Houdoul.So, the penultimate round of the WP kart-
ing championship should prove brilliantwith most class chases starting to come toa head at Killarney on this Saturday.
