The South African Post Office (Sapo) has warned the public to be on alert of a scam doing the rounds where customers are duped into depositing money into fraudu- lent Postbank accounts. According to Martie Gilchrist, Western Cape regional communications manager of the Post Office situated at Ruyterwacht, the scheme starts when you receive a sealed Speed Services Couriers package delivered at your doorstep or workplace. “Inside the package is a laminated certifi- cate claiming that a substantial amount has been paid into a Postbank account opened for you. The instruction in your delivery package states to activate the Postbank ac- count in order to claim your winnings, you need to pay a certain amount of cash into an- other account. This is when you are conned because you will not be seeing the money that you have deposited into that other ac- count again,” says Gilchrist. Sapo advises the public to ignore items of this nature when they receive them. “Postbank, the Sapo or any of its subsidi- aries will never open an account on your be- half and request an activation fee. You should always be wary of any promises of large sums of winnings for competitions you never took part in. Also, you should know that you are probably being scammed in any situation where you are required to pay an amount of money upfront, either as an ad- ministration fee or for any other reason, to access large sums of money,” says Gilchrist. At this stage they are not sure how many people have been victims of the scam. “We were alerted about the scam when a woman went to her local post office wanting to claim her money. She was told she had been scammed. “We immediately alerted the police about it. At this stage we cannot comment on how big or far reaching the scam is, but we be- lieve if we stop it before it spreads, it will be a good thing. It is outrageous what these scamsters come up with, so people need to be extra vigilant,” says Gilchrist. Sapo is working with law enforcement agencies to trace the perpetrators of this scam, and the public is requested to call the police or the Post Office’s Crime Buster Hot- line on 0800 020 070 with any information they might have.

Youth help with cleanupBRENDEN RUITER
@ruitervaniewind
The Bothasig Girl Guides and Rangersthis past Saturday joined the Merri-man Lions from Goodwood and the
Bothasig police in an environmental projectcalled Bag-a-Burger.
The fifteen Guides and Rangers were eachhanded a black bag and protective gloves byWarrant Officer Jacques Mostert and KevinLeach and briefed on their mission: pick uplitter.
According to Mostert a police van was onhand to help move the bags filled with rub-bish. “The Guides and Rangers left the po-
lice station on a designated route and start-ed cleaning up the environment. They wereaccompanied by Reservist Constable JohanPrinsloo. While this was taking place,Leach and I braaied the hamburger pattiesand prepared the burgers which they verydeservedly worked for,” says Mostert.
When everyone had a drink and a burger,Mostert started talking to them about sub-stance abuse.
“I was supported by two members fromthe UCAN rehabilitation centre who sharedtheir experience regarding substance de-pendency and the impact on their lives aswell as the lives of their families. The ques-tions raised by the audience were honestlyanswered and stern warnings issued by thetwo guest speakers that help should beasked instead of going down the addictionroute,” says Mostert.
Dennis (not real name) explained how hegot involved in drugs and the lengths hewould go to get hold of drugs, even if itmeant he had to steal from his mother tosupport his habit. “I have been in rehab fora while and my mother had spoken to meonly a few weeks ago for the first time inthree years,” he says.
Tanya Prinsloo, a Ranger guide, ex-pressed everyone’s thanks to the MerrimanLions Club and Bothasig police for arrang-ing the project and inviting them to be partof it.
Old Tokkie’s steam(y) love story
Oom Jim’s sons and their families made a special trip to Cape Town to see Old Tokkie.
Old Tokkie, one of two steam enginesguarding the entrance to Intaka IslandEco-Centre, was the subject of a profoundlove story.
The other protagonist of this love storywas Oom Jim van Rensburg, an enginedriver at the Douglas Colliery near Emah-lahleni in Mpumalanga.
Oom Jim started working at the collieryin 1958. At the time the colliery had threesteam locomotives – two large ones to haulcoal from the mine to the nearest railwaystation at Vandyksdrift and a small Doug-las No 3 engine to help shunt the trucksand occasionally to help nudge the largerengines if they were battling to haul coaltrucks over the hill, says Lewellyn Jansevan Rensburg, the third of Oom Jim’s foursons.
He says the small engine was lovinglycalled Tokkolos after the small Zulu myth-ical figure Tokoloshe but to Oom Jim shewas just Old Tokkie.
“Oom Jim loved steam engines. He usedto joke that when he went for blood tests,the doctor had to squirt out the first 10ml,as it was just steam.”
Lewellyn says when his dad worked thenight shift, they would listen for the soundof the steam engine coming back from thestation.
“My dad would then use the steam en-gine’s whistle to say to us ‘I love you’ bygiving his signature whistle: one longwhistle followed by three short ones - tuu-uuut, tu-tu-tut, repeated a few times. I canstill hear it.”
Shortly before Oom Jim retired in 1986,
the mine decided to retire Tokkolos by plac-ing it on display in front of the mine’s offices.
“It was my dad’s honour to extinguish thelast fire in her belly, and fasten the handbrake for the last time.”
In a letter Oom Jim wrote in 1991 to PeterHolz, the then editor of Mining World, hespoke of his affection for Old Tokkie.
“I love Old Tokkie....If she could talk shewould say ‘I Love Oom Jim also because healways cleaned me till I looked like a lovelylady with a beautiful dress and shoes.’
“I always used to talk to Old Tokkolos andsaid if you pull this load for me nicely, I’ll takeyou to the Drive In on Friday night. She al-ways obliged. Whenever I go to Douglas I al-ways go to see her and climb into the cab,work the controls and do a little bit of dustingoff for her and believe me when I leave, myeyes are wet ...”
Lewellyn said his dad’s wishes were to beburied next to Old Tokkie.
“Unfortunately the mining company decid-ed to use open cast mining in the area whereI grew up, including Tokkolos’ prime positionin front of the mine’s offices. Tokkolos wasremoved and we had no idea what happenedto her.”
Oom Jim passed away on 14 September1998, and was buried in Witbank’s ceme-tery.
“The only thing we could do to honour hislove for steam engines was to put a head-stone on his grave in the form of a steamengine’s chimney and steam dome.”
He said they always wondered what hadhappened to old Tokkolos.
“Then, last year, I happened to watchKwêla on DSTV with my wife and there wasa glimpse of old Tokkolos standing in Centu-ry City! I quickly rewound the decoder tosee if my eyes were playing tricks on me.I was sure it was old Tokkolos. After a bitof searching on the internet I found a sitethat confirmed this was indeed Old Tokko-los.”
Two weeks ago Lewellyn and his youngerbrother, Lionel, together with their wivesand children, travelled to Cape Town to visitOld Tokkie at Intaka.
“It was very special and it is wonderfulto know that Old Tokkie, the proud old lady,finally has a special spot where she can givevisitors a glimpse into the very special rolethat steam engines played in our history.Oom Jim would have been very proud!”

AR11.7 million project to make the N7highway safer, is nearly complete.The project being undertaken by
the provincial transport and public worksdepartment, has seen the installation ofnew street lights on theN7 between the Bos-mansdam and Potsdam interchanges tomake this section safer.Once this project is complete, theWestern
Cape government will have installed streetlights along three critical roads, namely theN1, N2 and N7 up to the point where theSouthAfricanNational Roads Agency (San-ral) is responsible.The new lights are being installed along
the median, which includes the laying ofnew cable and four new electrical connec-tions.During winter last year, many motorists
raised the alarm about people crossing thedark road and the transport departmentconfirmed several fatalities.According to departmental spokesperson
Byron La Hoe, the erection and installationworks have been completed but the Eskom
power supply connections are still out-standing.Asked whether the recent protests in Du-
noon and the subsequent closures of thehighway affected or delayed the project,La Hoe said these protests have not affectedthe construction works as a result of the ef-
forts of the contractor to liaisewith the localcommunity.“The project has created work opportuni-
ties for the residents of Dunoon in particu-lar. There have been several labour issues,but this has been resolved during the courseof the project.”

Parow Police are looking for a possible eye-witness after a pedestrian was killed in ahit-and-run incident in Frans ConradieDrive on Monday 2 May.Local police spokesperson Lieutenant
KevinWilliams says the accident happenedat about 21:00.“A pedestrianwas knocked over by silver
Toyota Corolla with registration numberCY 51251. As a result the pedestrian was de-clared dead on the scene of the accident.”The pedestrian was dressed in a blue
track suit, brown hoody top, grey printedboxer shorts and white takkies.Williams adds they need eye witnesses to
come forward so that they can“conclude theinvestigation as soon as possible”.This request has led to the question of
why the police need to ask eyewitnesses to
come forward in the first place.Parow Community Police Forum (CPF)
chairperson, Roger Cannon, said the temp-tation will always be there to pretend thatyou haven’t witnessed an accident to avoida traumatic situation, but adds that it be-comes all the more important to come for-ward when someone appears to be injured.V If you saw the accident in Frans Conradie Drive,contact the investigating officer, Detective WarrantOfficer Eugene Human, at Parow Police Station.

On Saturday 4 June there will be abounty of beauties at the Kensing-ton Civic Centre for the fifth Ms
Gay Ambassador pageant.Bianca Schutter, one of the organisers,
explains this glamorous affair is hostedin Kensington because the host andfounder of the pageant, LoganMcGregor,is from the area and embarked on thisproject to plough back into the communi-ty in which she was raised.“Logan is an established drag queen,
a multiple beauty pageant title holder,”she says.“She is a former Ms Mardi Gras Na-
tional, formerMs GayWestern Cape andthe reigning Ms Diva South Africa.”Schutter adds that Ms Gay Ambassa-
dor is a rolemodel who embodies the val-ues and morals of adherence to the lawof the land.“We host this event to illustrate fair-
ness and impartiality, a healthy respectfor the rights of all peoplewithin and out-side of the boundaries of the WesternCape and South Africa at large, irrespec-tive of creed or colour, religion or affilia-tion, gender or age, disability or vulnera-bility, and thewinner is recognised as anambassador of her community andLGBTI matters.”The pageant was launched in 2012
when Ms Gay Ambassador Zilin Ayoki
Zhangwas crowned the firstMsGayAm-bassador.“The following year Tasharn Vonarm-
berg took the title,” says Schutter.Testimony of the high standards of the
pageant and the contestants is the factthat both winners of this pageant havegone on to win theMs GayWestern Capetitle which is regarded as one of themostprestigious beauty pageant titles inSouth Africa, claims Schutter.“This year, we look forward to seeing
an array of female impersonators take tothe stage to vie for this title.”The event promises to provide stun-
ning entertainment by performers in-cluding the sensationalManila von Teez,the nationally renowned 3 Divas, localartist and comedian Eugene Matthewsand DJ Jerome Davidson (DJ Cool J).This event is one of the highlights on
the gay calendar as well as for the localKensington community.“This gathering signifies the vision of
MsGayAmbassador, aligning communi-ties andmerging our people into a collec-tive population, ignorant and blind tophysical differences and preferenceswhich are the causes of disharmony inour communities,” concludes Schutter.The event will start at 19:30.Tickets are R50 and will be sold at the
door. Refreshments will be on sale.V Sponsorship offers and any other inquiries maybe directed via e-mail to [email protected].

ga, sersant Rooi Els, sespeurvernufwordweerernstig in Pirana be-proef – dit terwyl ie-mand op die agter-grond sy tande gedul-dig met wraakgedagtesslyp,” sê Van Rens-burg, ’n inwoner vanWelgemoed.“Ek het lekker aan
die boek geskryf, maarmoes heelwat navor-sing doen om die agter-grond vir baie van die verhaallyne geloof-waardig te hou. Ek het ondermeer ook kon-tak gemaak met lede van die AmerikaansePirana-klub om uit te vind hoe dié gevrees-de visse in Suid-Afrikaanse omstandighedesou kan oorleef.”Van Rensburg sê sy navorsing het hom
ook opnuut bewus gemaak van die ernstigestroperkrisis in veral die Krugerwildtuin,“waar letterlik honderde stroperbendesons wilderfenis vernietig”.Een van sy verhaallyne wat in die wild-
tuin afspeel, is ’n getroueweergawe van diewrede werklikheid daar, sê hy.Hy beloof dat die boek genoeg verrassen-
de kinkels en wendings het om die liefheb-bers vanmisdaadfiksieop die punte van hulstoele te hou.“Omdat Kassie alles-
behalwe jou tradisio-nele macho-held so eieaan speurverhale is,onderskat die misdadi-gers hom gewoonlikgruwelik. Dit skep virmy allerlei moontlik-hede wat ander skry-wers van misdaadfik-sie dalk nie altyd kanbenut nie,” sê hy.Dat dít ’n suksesre-
sep is, word weerspieëldeur die feit dat VanRensburg se tweedeboek, Kopskoot, reedsvyf keer herdruk is, sydebuutroman, Slagys-ter, onlangs herdruk is,en dat sy derde boek,Judaskus, een van ver-lede jaar se topverko-
pers was.V As TygerBurger se lesers meer oor Pirana wil uit-vind, kan hulle aanstaande Donderdag die bekend-stelling by die Dros bywoon. Dit begin om 18:00 vir18:30 en toegang is gratis.

Gereedskap nodig vir sy reusetaakANDRÉ BAKKES
@andrebakkes
Teen die horison weerkaats rooi wolkesag teen die laaste bietjie sonlig.Binne sy werkswinkel sit die 81-jari-
ge ambagsman met ’n onmoontlike taak –en die tyd raak min.In sy jonger dae kon hy vir ure aaneen
woeker aan hout en verstommende kuns-werke skep.Deesdae het hymeer uitdagings as gereed-
skap.Hy het net 5 persent sig in sy een oog, en
gevolglik ooreis hy gereeld sy ander een. ’nPaar maande gelede het hy geval en sy kopgestamp.Hy sê hy vergeet.Finansieel trek hy swaar nadat hy 20 jaar
gelede “als” verloor het in ’n saketransaksiewat skeefgeloop het.Die ambagsman is alleenvandathy sydog-
ter verloor het in ’n motorongeluk in dievroeë negentigs.Al wat oor is vir hom – hier in die donker
skemer van sy lewe – is sy passie om ietsasemrowends te skep.Die geleentheid is daar.Jacques de Klerk van Parow is toevertrou
deur een van die hoofamptenare van dieWeense staatsoperahuis om ’n miniatuur-vleuelklaviertjie te maak, baie soos die eenvan 30 cmwat hy ses jaar gelede ná 1 256 uurvoltooi het.Hierdie keer wil Jacques elkeen van die
1 cm-breë ivoorklawers afsonderlik uitskaafen ’n 50 cm-wye klaviertjie maak, wat be-wonder sal word lank ná hy dood is.“Ek is baie presies in wat ek doen, so dit
moet presies honderd persent wees,” sê Jac-ques.Maar die tyd raak min.Hymoet dit klaar hê voor eindeNovember
en hy het nie die gereedskap om dié uitda-gende taak te voltooi nie.
“Ek het oorgenoeg goeiehout,maar die gereedskap isso duur, jong.“Dit wat ek het, het ek oor
die jare as ’n meubelver-vaardiger maar bymekaar-geskraap. Ek het ’n kleinslypmasjien (grinder) nodigom die harde ivoor te ver-werk,” gaan Jacques voort,terwyl hy ’n groot stuk ivoorin sy ferm hand vashou.“Die mahoniehout-raam-
werk van die klaviertjie be-hoort my nie te lank te neemnie, maar daai klawertjies!“Dit gaan ’nmonumentale
taak wees. En ek kan nie be-gin nie, want ek kan nie ’nslypmasjien bekostig nie.”As hy dit betyds kan vol-
tooi, sal Jacques dit graageers in die noordelike voor-stede uitstal voordat dieWeense staatsoperahuishom en die klaviertjie naWene laat vlieg en by ’n for-mele geleentheid onthul.Maar Jacques erken dat
die enorme uitdagings wathom in die gesig staar dalkte groot sal wees vir hom omdie paal te haal.“Ek moet dit doen. Ek
moet.“Daar is vreemde bloed-
selle wat lek op my retina,wat veroorsaak dat my sigvan uur tot uur wissel. Soos ek nou hierstaan, sien ek net ’n klomp swart kolle. Ekbly maar positief, maar ek plaas baie stresop my gesonde oog met al hierdie fyn werk.“Ek moet seker maar aanvaar dat ek my
slegte oog heeltemal gaan verloor. Al wat ekkan doen, is my beste en ek moet maar posi-
tief bly. Dit is virmybelangrik. Daar sal pro-bleme wees. Die spertyd plaas my onder ge-weldige druk en ek moet dit probeer ver-werk. Maar ek sal wen!”Die laaste rooi lig van die weerkaatsende
wolke val op Jacques se gesig, en vir ’n oom-blik lyk hy nie ouer as 50 nie.
En dan twyfel ’n mens nie dat hierdie vas-beslote en passievolle man sy beste werk salvoltooi voor die donkerte op hom toesak nie.Hy kan dit egter nie doen sonder ’n bietjie
hulp nie.V Bel Francois de Klerk as jy hom kan help met ’nslypmasjien of bietjie inspirasie by 078 902 4233.

Karbatterye teiken van dieweBRENDEN RUITER

Jou grootste nagmerrie word waar wan-neer jy diemotorsleutel insit, draai en diemotor weier om aan te skakel. Jy is laatvir werk en ná die soveelste keer blaas jydie aftog. Wat is verkeerd?Kans is goed dat skelms in die nag jou
motor se battery weggedra het.Die Goodwood-polisie sukkel die afge-
lopemaandmet ’n toename in die diefstalvan batterye.Ao. Wayne Theunis, polisiewoordvoer-
der, sê daar was nou vir ’n hele ruk geenvoorvalle nie, maar skielik is dit nouweer volop.“Die ouens steel al wat ’n soort battery
is. Ons is verstom dat hulle selfs met die
groot vragmotorbatterye wegkom. Hoe-veel mense neem dit om een van daai bat-terye te dra?” wonder Theunis.Volgens hom is hulle nie in hierdie sta-
dium seker of dit ’n sindikaat is wat inGoodwood bedrywig is nie.“Ons weet nog nie eens waar die goed
verkoop word nie. Wat ons wel weet, isdat die skelms baie slim is. Hulle steel diebatterye sonder om motors se alarms teaktiveer.“In sommige van die gevalle kan ’n
mens sien hulle het van onder die motorsingekom om alarmdrade te knip,” sêTheunis.Hyhet ’n beroep op inwoners ge-doen om, waarmoontlik, hul motors in ’nmotorhuis te parkeer en indien dit niemoontlik is nie, die montering van batte-rye te versterk.
Frustrated motorists scratching forchange every time they park kerbside inthe Cape Town CBD, will now be able topay with their bank cards.Parking marshals employed by Street
Parking Solutions have now beenequipped with hand-held point-of-sale(POS) devices, making this possible.“Themarshals with the hand-held POS
devices are wearing badges indicatingthat they can accept card payments. ThePOS devicesmake it easier andmore con-venient to pay for parking as motoristsdonot alwayshave cashonhandand thenhave to search for an ATM to withdrawmoney,” says the City’s Mayco memberfor transport, Brett Herron.In October 2014 Street Parking Solu-
tions also adopted SnapScan technology
– an alternative payment option allowingmotorists to pay for parking using asmartphone application.“I want to assure motorists that the
parking marshals are still obliged to ac-cept cash as payment for parking, despitethe additional payment methods that arenow available,” says Herron.“That said, we have been informed by
Street Parking Solutions that motoristsare impressed with the POS devices andthe convenience they bring.“On-street parking in the CBD is
charged at R3.40 per 15 minutes duringbusiness hours. Charging for parking isone method of ensuring a high turnoverof parking bays in an area where thereis a big demand for on-street parking,such as in the CBD,” says Herron.

jaar vir die eerste keer ’n geleentheid omsaam aan ’n Afrikaanse gedigtekompetisievan die ATKV en die tydskrif Kuier deel teneem.
Die kompetisie was die afgelope sewe jaarslegs vir leerders, maar volgens JapieGouws, die uitvoerende hoof van die ATKV,was daar nog altyd ’n aanvraag van volwas-senes wat ook ’n platform gesoek het om huleie gedigte te publiseer.
“Die gedigtekompetisie was ook gewildomdat daar ’n groot behoefte onder tienersis om uiting te gee aan hul drome, emosiesen bepaalde kwessies in gedigte. Dit het indie verlede aan duisende aspirantdigtersdie platform gebied om gedigte te skryf ente publiseer,” sê Gouws. Maar nou vat dieATKV enKuierdit ’n tree verder. Hulle nooiook alle volwassenes uit om ’n Afrikaansegedig in te skryf en moontlik in die prosesvet pryse los te slaan. Die wenner van diehoërskool-kategorie wen R3 000 in kontant,terwyl dié in die tweede en derde plekke on-derskeidelik R2 000 en R1 000 kry.
In die volwasse kategorie is R5 000 vir dieskrywer van die wengedig op die spel. Die
tweede en derde plek se wenners kry onder-skeidelik R4 000 en R3 000. Inskrywings kanin enige variant van Afrikaans wees.
Volgens Kay Karriem, Kuier se redak-teur, is daar ook besluit om vanjaar ’n videovan die beste algehele gedig te vervaardig.
“Met die video wil ons graag lewe gee aandie woorde op papier en ’n gedigtekompeti-sie is ’n ideale platform vir mense om inAfrikaans te sê wat in hul harte is.”
Die beoordelaars gaan dus ook besluitwie van die volwasse of hoërskoolwennerdie beste oorspronklike gedig geskryf het,waarna Hemelbesem, bekende kunstenaaren Pasella-aanbieder, dié gedig op ’n videogaan vertolk. Gouws sê: “Die beste gedigteis ook in 2013 in ’n spesiale bundel, Ek enals tussenin, uitgegee. Vanjaar trek diekompetisie ’n nuwe baadjie aan en kry vol-wassenes ook die geleentheid om met hulledigtalente te woeker.”

Construction of Manhattan Quarter,a complex of 63 apartments over-looking the Grand Canal in Century
City, has topped out and is on schedulefor completion in October.
Being developed by the Rabie PropertyGroup at a cost of R150m, ManhattanQuarter comprises generously sizedapartments which were all sold outmonths ahead of construction, whichstarted in July last year.
The apartments were sold for betweenR1 425 000 and R4.8m and are housed intwo adjoining blocks with a staggeredskyline of three, four and five-storey sec-tions and serviced by two lifts off a cen-tral lobby with a concierge desk.
They range from one-bedroom units tofour-bedroom duplexes and vary in sizefrom 70 square metres to 228 square me-tres, including balconies. All apartmentswill have secured, covered parking fortwo cars and overlook either the GrandCanal or the largest public park in Centu-ry City.
Designed by Munnik Visser Architects,Manhattan Quarter is being constructed
by Big Ben Construction. Handovers andtransfers are scheduled for Novemberthis year.
The rest of the Manhattan precinct,which will include a commercial compo-nent, a restaurant, a large park and acrèche for 160 children, is also under con-struction and due for completion in No-vember.
According to Brian Usher, sales direct-or of Property World, Century City resi-dential properties have shown signifi-cant capital growth in recent years dueto demand for properties in the precinctfar outstripping supply.
“Century City has definitely become asought-after residential node due to anumber of factors, including its high lev-el of safety and security, its well main-tained environment and the fact thatthere is every conceivable facility righton the doorstep. As soon as resale proper-ties come on the market, they are snappedup and we are always looking for stock.Sales in new developments at CenturyCity have also strongly outperformed therest of the market,” he said.”

Rising young stars of the Cape TownCity Ballet (CTCB) are set to take cen-tre stage in the classic and comic bal-
let, Coppélia, at Artscape next week.Based on the well-known tale by ETA
Hoffmann, this sparkling production of thebeloved ballet has a short run fromWednesday 25 to Sunday 29 May.
With its charming and mischievousplot, brightly-coloured costumes and glo-rious music, Coppélia is as ideal for fami-lies and serious dance lovers as it is for new-comers to ballet.
True love triumphs in this enchantingfairytale, which features three main char-acters – the young Franz, his fiancée Swan-ilda and the mysterious doll maker, Dr Cop-pelius, who creates the lifelike doll, Coppé-lia. Believing the doll is a real person, Franzbecomes infatuated with her, which mostdefinitely does not meet with Swanilda’s ap-proval.
This leads to all kinds of hilarious situa-tions amongst the protagonists and culmi-nates in a happily-ever-after wedding scene.
The role of Swanilda will be shared byCleo Ames, Sarah-Lee Chapman, MeghanHenegan and Elizabeth Nienaber, whileFranz will be danced by Ivan BoonzaaierMartin Milner, Craig Pedro and Revil Yon.CTCB’s master character dancers MervynWilliams and Johnny Bovang will alternateas the eccentric Dr Coppelius and the Bürg-ermeister.
The choreography is by David Poole withlighting design by Faheem Bardien, whileThe Cape Philharmonic Orchestra, con-ducted by Brandon Phillips, will accompa-ny the cast at selected performances.V Coppélia will be on stage at 19:30 on the Wednes-day, Friday and Saturday and at 18:30 on Thursdaywith matinée performances on Wednesday, Satur-
day and Sunday. Tickets from Computicket cost R50for performances with pre-recorded music and be-tween R110 and R160 for performances with the or-chestra. Visit www.capetowncityballet.org.za formore.

We shouldnurture ournursesThey are our friends, our confidants, ourdoctors and our carers.
They come in our darkest hours andthey alleviate our pain and our loneli-ness.
Our heroes, our fathers and mothers,our teachers and our punching bags.
Society’s shame.The ridiculous salary of a nurse should
make us all sleep a little more uncomfort-ably at night.
You know those days when you feel asif something is wrong, but you can’t puta finger on it?
It’s probably the feeling of guilt.Many think a “thank you” is all that is
expected from us when a nurse tends to aloved one in hospital.
I’m obviously not a nurse, so I can’tspeak for them, but while I wouldappreciate a “thank you” as a nurse, itdoes not pay the rent.
“Dear landlord, I regret to inform youthat I don’t havethe cash to pay youthis month, but Ido have 18 234thank-yous.”
Nurses haveprotested beforeand they willagain. What theymost likely won’tdo is cause aninternational sceneby throwing bricksat police, burningbooks and destroy-ing property.
Of all the callsfor justice out there, the one that movesme the most is whispered by the poverty-stricken nurse.
The world is upside down.In far too many sectors those who work
hardest earn the least. So, how doessociety deal with this obvious injustice?
We give them a day, of course!World Teachers’ Day.International Firefighters Day.International Nurses Day!The latter was “celebrated” on Friday,
but really, if I were a nurse, a salaryincrease would have benefitted me more.
There is an argument that a nurse is anurse because it is his/her passion tohelp people. People will say nurses woulddo what they do for free, as long as theycan fulfil their calling. I can only laughat this line of “self-justification”, which isclearly born from guilt.
Nurses deserve so much more than aspecial day, more than a thank-you, andeven more than a substantial raise.
They deserve more than a short piecein a community newspaper.– André Bakkes

When the first winter stormhit the Cape on 22 April, myneighbour’s and my electricityflickered at about 17:00 andthen went out.

. Why would you choose toforego over US$105m in reve-nue, when in Southern Africaauctions were held and revenuegenerated went a long way infighting poaching?
. How different is someonekilling an elephant or a rhinofrom someone who ensures thesupply of ivory and rhino tusksis constrained even when theanimal dies of natural causes?

“I call it my cause album,” Auriol Hayssays of her upcoming release.The local singer will be officially
launching her aptly namedDreamingMusicat a secret location on Saturday 28 May andwith it, shehopes to give a voice to thosewhoneed it.While she’s very aware that the songs on
her new albummay not suit commercial ra-dio, Auriol says: “They come from a verydeep place and they aremeant to create a dif-ference.”One of the songs on the album, for exam-
ple, is “Come to Me”, which she wrote toraise awareness about “The Arctic 30”, agroup of Greenpeace activists and journal-istswhowere arrested for protesting againstoil drilling in the Arctic.She was invited to perform the song on a
Greenpeace boat last year when their Rain-bow Warrior was docked in Cape Town.Another of her songs, “Pray for Rain”, has
been used by the Dress Jozi Campaign, anorganisation that helps care for the home-less residents of Johannesburg. “That’s awonderful thing.”Then there’s her track “Help me Out”
which has been used by the South AfricanDepression and Anxiety Group (SADAG).“I like that themusic is beingusedbyorga-
nisations that want to create some kind ofchange.”Auriol says many fans refer to her previ-
ous album, Call it Love, as “a break-up al-bum”. “It was sad and beautiful,” she says,adding: “This album, I’d like to think, is somuch happier and bolder.”The music switches between blues, folk,
reggae with elements of many other genres,including what Auriol calls her “Bond in-spired song”. “Because I’m a storyteller, Itell the story in whichever way works best.”She’s also quick to point out that the fan-
tastic band behind her helped “bring every-thing to life”.Auriol is working with bassist André
Webb, who also acts as hermusical director,guitarist Jason De Laney, drummer JasonBeukes and keyboardist Yvan Potts, andwhen asked how she met them, she quips:“I’m blaming the gods on that one.”When she returned to Cape Town after
working in Johannesburg for three years,Auriol says a random person “out of thegoodness of his heart” connected her witha group. While André is the only survivingbandmember, the situation evolved into onewhere she now works with what she calls“an amazing bunch of musicians”.While many of them play for other artists,
Auriol says shealwaysworkswith the groupwhen formulating a song “so that it’s ourmusic and not my music”.“We always have a good time on stage.”Away from the stage, Auriol is also mov-
ing into the film industry, playing the roleof the “seer” in the local Sci-Fi series Spe-lonk. A song she released with CrimsonHouse frontman Riaan Smit, “Child Atone”,will also be featured in the postapocalypticpiece that exploreswhatmusic and languagewould sound like in 2044.Auriol is in the process of writing a book
which she is releasing in segments on herwebsite. “I am essentially writing to mygreat granddaughter about music and life,”she explains.“When I sit and write, I have a greater
understanding of what I do when I sing, sothat process has been very interesting.”Auriol says the chance towrite something
other than song lyrics gives her a chance todecompress and bemore conscious of her ac-tions.“Writing is a release,” she says, before
adding: “When I finally get to perform, I’mfree.”While music fans can already get a taste
of this freedom with Dreaming Musicwhichis already available on iTunes, Auriol en-courages listeners to keep an eye on her Fa-cebook page for the big reveal of the venuefor her launch.V For more information about Auriol Hays, a tasteof her music or to read segments from her book, visitauriolhays.co.za.

You need to go away, but can-not leave Fluffy at home?Have no fear, because the
Pet Sitter is near.Theuns Schronen is the man to
call when there is nobody elsewho wants or can take care ofyour pets.“Pets are like children to peo-
ple. Who would want to leaveyour child at home alone whenyou go away for an extended peri-od of time?” asks Theuns.Unfortunately theworldwe live
in is not always pet friendly andpeople are forced to leave theirpets alone. And this is where The-uns comes in.“I was retrenched in 2013 and
saw a niche in the market. If peo-ple take their pets to the kennels,the animals come back trauma-tised. For me it is important thatthe animal remains in the housethey are used to,” says Theuns,noting that human childrenwould also not feel comfortable atother people’s homes.As part of his service, Theuns
goes to the house, feeds the ani-mals, walks the dogs and even ad-ministers medicine.“My clients trust me in their
homes. Some give me the sparekeys and gate remotes so that I can walkin out freely. I also take care of extra servi-ces like taking out the mail and what I call‘poo management’. People love their ani-mals, but they don’t always like cleaningup after them, so they appreciate it when
I do it. I will also turn on lights, make surenothing has been disturbed in the houseand there are no broken windows. Theseare some great extras for people who areaway from their homes for long periods.”Theuns tells the story of how he once
came to a house and there was anotice from the municipalitythat the electricity was going tobe cut.“Unbeknown to thehomeown-
ers I called the municipality andtold them that the home ownerswere out of the country and thatthey had to wait before they cutoff the electricity.When theown-ers, they were very thankful. Ilike towalk the extramile formyclients. Every day, after walkingor feeding animals, I will takepictures and send it to the own-ers. So involved am I that whena pet dies, I’ll be one of the firstto know and I will grieve withthe family.”A typical assignment, as The-
uns calls his jobs, starts with a“meet and greet”. “I would go tothe clients’ houses and meetwith the animals. I will let themsmell me and get used to me. Ifan animal acts aggressive to-wards me, I will not take the as-signment.”The assignments are not all
fun and games.“I was once looking after two
dogs. I took the boerboel for awalk and he saw other dogs. Hestarted to run after the otherdogs and dragged me along onmy stomach. When we arrivedhome I tried to open the door and
the pitbull saw a gap and ran past me. Ihad to rugby tackle the dog as he camepast, all thewhile holding on to the other,”laughs Theuns.V Any interesting stories in your area? Send anemail to [email protected].

Malan met die Tiere kon afreken. Dieoorwinning van 22-19 was grootliks asgevolg van Tygerberg se verbeelding-lose spel, asook DFM se oorheersingvan die lynstane en losspel. Bellville-Suid het J.G. Meiring gans en al deur-mekaar gehardloop en ses drieë teendie tuisspan ingeryg ommet 40-8 te se-evier. Durbanville het 15-8 deurge-skuur teen De Kuilen, maar hy moesin die tweede helfte deeglik walgooi,terwyl die besoekers al meer ’n wurg-greep op die spel gekry het. Bracken-fell het hom uitstekend van sy taak ge-kwyt teen die bulspan van Paarl Gimen die Paarliete se wentelling van 38-24 vlei hulle in ’n groot mate.Stellenberg het hom met 3-41 bloed-
neus geloop teenHJS Paarl, terwyl HSBellville met 42-23 kous oor die kop ge-trek is deur HS Swartland.

The 2016 Western Cape Karting Champion-ship explodes back into action at Killarneyafter a two and a half month break on Satur-day, with leading local racers keen to reas-sert their authority, as much as their rivalswill be out to stop those winning ways.Nowhere will the action be fiercer than in
the high school Rotax Junior Max 125s,where a full grid and perhaps a little unfin-
ishedbusiness couldmake the action all thatmuch sweeter.WP champion Jason Coetzee (RKT Ko-
smic) will be keen to extend his Cape cham-pionship advantage over national seriesleader Sebastian Boyd (Boyd Freight Ko-smic) and the man Coetzee controversiallytangledwith at theKillarneynational, DarioBusi (Automan Birel).
The smallest karters are the under eightcadet class kids, the breeding ground of fu-ture race champions, and there you can ex-pect the likes of Joaquin de Oliveira, RezaLevy (Jive), Paul Malcolm, Reese Koorzen,JoshuaSmit andEthanStier to be among theleading bunch.V Adult entry is R60 per adult. R20 for under-16s andunder-12s are free.

GOLF: BELLVILLE AMATEUR MAKES IT TWO IN A ROW

Western Province’s Gerlou Rouxstaved off Shaun Stapleton fromCentral Gauteng to claim back-to-
back titles in the SA Mid-Amateur StrokePlay Championship recently.“I guess I got a jump on that old adage
that life begins at 40; if 39 is this good, Ican’twait to hit the forties,” jested theBell-ville golfer after he sealed a two-stroke vic-tory on eight under 280 with rounds of 68,73, 68 and 71 at Silver Lakes Country Clubin Pretoria.Roux swept to a four-shot triumph last
year, but this time around, the country’snumber one ranked mid-amateur said vic-tory tasted a whole lot sweeter.“It’s taken a few days to sink in, because
it was mentally a lot tougher to go the fulldistance this year,” said Roux.“When I set myself a goal to represent
South Africa on both the Open Amateurand Mid-Amateur circuits last year, Icouldn’t even describe the feeling when Iachieved it. But like most of the guys onthemid-amateur circuit, I hold downa full-time job and that had to take priority.“I came into the tournament knowing
that I have a target onmy back. It was real-ly tight at the top over the four rounds. Ikept my head down and got the job doneand that’swhy thiswin feels somuchmore
special.”Roux started the final round with a one-
stroke edge over Stapleton and a two-shotlead on Central Gauteng’s Ryan Dreyer.“I knew the last round would be tough,”
Roux said. “When you have three ex-Sun-shine Tour pros going head-to-head, it wasalways going to be an extreme test of pa-tience and willpower.”Rouxburst from theblockswith abirdie,
but short-sided himself at the second hole.“There is a tree right in themiddle of the
fairway at this par five,” he said. “I hit agood tee shot, but the ball just kept goingstraight and it finished up a few inchesfrom the trunk. My only option was topunch out, but I still had 210 metres to thepin. I took my medicine and moved on.”Rouxnotchedbirdies at sevenand 10 and
had a two shot lead on Stapleton when thepair reached the par four 17th.“I pulledmy tee shot in the rough,” Roux
said. “With the pin at the back of the islandgreen, I decided to lay up rather than gofor the pin. I hit a decent chip, but I missedthe par putt. Shaun nearly flew the green,but his ball stayed up. His chip landed twofeet from the hole and he holed the putt tosave par. Going to 18, my lead was cut toone and I was going to go all out. Shaunplayed first and hit his tee shot in the haz-
ard on the right. I knew he would struggleto save par, so I put the driver back in thebag, took out a rescue and a moreconservative approach. All Ineeded was a regulation fiveto win.”Roux parred the hole to
seal victory, Stapletonmade six for a 72 to finishsole second and Dreyerclosed with a 74 to takethird on 285.“I beat kids more
than half my age toreach the numberone spot in therankings and itwas a huge dealfor me when Ireached my goal torepresent South Afri-ca on both circuits last year, butwhen you start knocking onthe door at 40, you have tomake sacrifices,” Roux said.“Now that I have back-to-
back wins, I’ve given my-self a new goal for nextyear. I’m going to go for ahat-trick and that gives every guy on themid-amateur circuit the goal to stop me.”
