“He would not move himself until theychanged their plan of action. Aubrey had astubborn streak! Aubrey has been a com-plete veteran in community organisations,a hive of knowledge, information and goodpractices and always willing to share hiswealth of knowledge for the betterment ofall.”Hart says at the age of 75, Creighton did
not stop at anything and was part of and in-
volved in his community. She called latenight patrols where Creighton would al-ways arrive 15 minutes early, smartlydressed and wearing his neighbourhoodwatch vest proudly.“Aubrey loved to talk and these patrols
would be lessons and lectures on the crimi-nals and their activity in our hood, theirbackground and who they were connectedto.Aubreyhad 23years’ of knowledgeunder
his belt; we will sorely miss our guardianangel of the neighbourhood.”She says Creighton has touched many
people’s lives with his involvement in thecommunity. “He recently sat me down andsaid: ‘Cindy, I have had a wonderful life, Ihave lived everymoment. The good, the badand the ugly, and I would never change anyof it. They have all been good lessons andan amazing journey.’”
Joy of sharing: Curro Century City hosted a “clothes to good programme”, where learners donated second hand clothing which in turn willbe given to street vendors to sell. This helps create income for people who are trying to make ends meet. The clothes weighed two tons intotal. Pictured are Kendra Barrow, Tyler Syster, Zwavhudi Rathando and Joaquin Jacobs.

Table View, ‘Terrible View’MONIQUE DUVAL
@monique_d
Ongoing illegal dumping along a watercanal has Table View residents rais-ing several questions.
The water channel, which runs along theR27, has been a sore point for manymonthsnow as vagrants seek shelter among thethickvegetationanddumpunwanted items.This is the site which many visitors seewhen entering Table View and residentssay the area should be renamed to “TerribleView”.In addition, residents say the water chan-
nel is used as a public ablution facility pol-luting the water as it runs into Rietvlei.Last week a group of concerned residents
met on site to show TygerBurger the messfound in the area near the old baby-drop.Here many homeless people can be seen
sleeping and old blankets with broken card-board and rotting food strewn across thewater channel. Residents say despitemonthly clean-ups thearea remainsablighton Table View. Resident Alex Lepnik de-scribes the situation as ridiculous and saysdespite complaints to theCity ofCapeTown,the situation remains unchanged.Community Policing Forum (CPF) chair-
person David Harris says the area iscleaned frequently, but the vagrants just re-turned.Resident Liza Wilson says no matter how
many times the area is cleaned, there seemsto be no solution in sight.“You can clean up all this mess and by to-
night itwill all be back.Weneed a long-termsolution. This place is just one big mess.”According to Mayco member for safety
and security, JP Smith, the City’s Law En-forcement department has received 53 com-plaints (including service requests) fromresidents about the canal alongside the R27nearTableView soccer club. In addition thesocial development department has re-ceived 49 complaints to date.Smith says numerous interventions by
the City’s Displaced Persons Unit, Law En-forcement and the Reintegration Unit have
been conducted alongside the canal.Mayco member for transport, Brett Her-
ron, says the local roads depot cleared thecanal along the R27 of silt and vegetation inthe beginning of May.
This specific canal, he says, is cleared ofsilt andvegetation at least four times a year.
“The removal of rubble and litter is doneon an ad-hoc basis, save to say that we can-not keep up with the volume and pace ofdumping into this canal, irrespective ofhow often we clean. In fact, the local roadsdepot deployed cleaning personnel as re-cently as Friday 24 June along the canal andby that afternoon the area had been litteredagain.”
Questionedabout the canal beused for ab-lutions and the possible effect on the watergoing into the vlei, Herron explains ablu-tion activities near the Bayside Canal willnot affect water quality in the canal unlessthe faeces is washed into the canal, for ex-ample, during rain.
“This could result in localised and rela-tively brief increases in the E. coli levels re-corded in the canal. It is unlikely, however,that sporadic incidences will have a meas-
urable effect on the deep water lake (Riet-vlei) located downstream of the canal dueto the reed beds which the water flowsthrough as these assist with water qualityimprovement. E. coli levels in Rietvlei arevery low and well within the recommendedlevel for recreation such as sailing and wa-ter skiing.”
Mayco member for social developmentand early childhood development, SuzetteLittle, says the City’s Reintegration Unithas engaged with 83 people in that area forthe 2015/2016 financial year.
During these engagements it was foundthat these are not all street people, however,many of them are job seekers, day strollersand mothers begging with their children.
“In all cases, whenever fieldworkers en-gage with the street people, we offer assist-ance to them but cannot guarantee that theperson will accept the help we are offering.Our reintegration officer and field officerswork daily in this area offering assistanceto street people.”V What do you think is a solution to this ongoingproblem?

A former police detective from MilnertonPolice Station and two accomplices wereconvicted for a fraudulent life cover insur-ance claim amounting to just under R1m.Last week the Hawks released a state-
ment stating Blondy Ntombomzi RuthWilliams (46), Elaine Felicity Pretorius(51) and former police detective Nono Syl-via Ndakisa (48) acted in cahoots duringOctober 2012, falsifying documents andsubmitting two claims of R350 000 on eachoccasion to an insurance company.Hawks spokesperson Captain Lloyd
Ramovha says the claim was against thelife of an individual who was falsely de-clared as deceased.“The policy was in place for almost a
year from 2009 culminating in a claim thefollowing year, the subject of whichwas analleged Milnerton murder case. The bodyof an unidentified deceased was falselyidentified by Williams using a fraudulentidentity document at the localmortuary asthat of the insured.”Investigations uncovered that the sup-
posedly deceasedmanwas in fact alive andwell in Soweto. The suspectswere arrestedin 2014 following investigations.Ndakisa, a police detective, was immedi-
ately suspended pending internal disci-plinary processes”OnWednesday 15 June all three accused
were convicted of fraud in the Cape TownRegional Court.

The Summer Greens Residents’ Associ-ation (SGRA) has successfully electeda new committee. A special meeting
was held last week to elect the new commit-tee following the resignation of chairpersonNino Arendse and vice chairperson TinaManeveld.The meeting was plunged into chaos
when three residents raised concerns aboutthe presence of ward councillor JoyMcCarthy, claiming politicians have noplace at the meeting.It was later explained that the local coun-
cillor McCarthy represented all residentsin her ward and there was no reason sheshould not attend the meeting.The meeting got off to a rough start when
the three men raised various concernsabout the constitution and protocols and ar-guments erupted between residents abouthow to proceed.After almost 30minutes of arguments, Pe-
ter Adrianatos, who accompaniedMcCarthy, restored calm by explaining theprotocols set out by the constitution. Resi-dents debated how the elections should pro-ceed until finally deciding to nominate andvote various individuals into various posts.Resident Bridgette Lloyd, who was at the
centre of a commu-nity march held inSummer Greens lastyear, was elected asthe new chairpersonalong with KarenVisagie as the vicechairperson. Well-known couple Rea-gan and Raquel Cro-eser who are knownfor their work withthe Summer GreensNeighbourhoodWatch (SGNHW)were also elected on-to the committee.Reagan will be incharge of the safetyand security portfo-lio and Raquel is thenew treasurer.Reagan will be as-
sisted by LubabaloSigwela and Raquelwill be assisted byLynn Wilson.Election of a youth project co-ordinator
also proved troublesome when the mentried to nominate a teenager to the commit-tee. Adrianatos explained legally any per-son under the age of 18 could not serve on
the committee. In the end Nathan Laub-scherwasvoted in as theyouthproject coor-dinator.V For more information email [email protected].

Pastoor sing ommense te bekeerMARITA MEYER
Hy wil net almal tot bekeringbring.Só sê Henry Pike, wenner
van 2014 se Gospel Talent Searchen voltydse pastoor by die DeBron-kerk.Hy’t eers gestoei met die
singery (hy’t nie gedink hy’t’nwafferse stemnie),maar toedaarmee vrede gemaak.“Ek’t besef dat ’n mens baie
keer meer met ’n vier minute-liedjie kan vermag as met ’npreek van 45 minute. Menseonthou lirieke. Dink maar te-rug aan jou jong dae, al daailiedjies wat jy uit jou kop ge-ken het.” Toe hy sien watterimpak sy liedjies op mensehet, het hy besef dat God ooksy musiek as ’n medium ge-bruik om met mense te praat.“Nou’s ek happy met albei.
Of ek nou sing of preek. So-lank die boodskap net diemense bereik,” vertel hy.Henry het ’n paar maande
gelede sy eerste album vryge-stel, wat deel was van sy prys-pakket as Gospel Talent Se-arch-wenner. Die kompetisieis aangebied deur Tygerberg104fm, TygerBurger en Trax-tudio. Hy’t die kompetisie inAugustus 2014 gewen en teenDesember daardie jaar was al dieliedjies klaar geskryf.So tussendeur die bedienings,
beradings en optredes het hulledie liedjies stuk-stuk in 2015 opge-neem by Traxtudio. “Meeste vandie liedjies is preke, wat WarrenElliott mooi verwerk het. Ons hetdie kerngedagtes vandie preke ge-vat en ’n melodie bygesit.”
Dis ’n inspirerende, eerlike al-bum dié, net soos Henry self, wat’n ver en moeilike pad gestap hettotdat hy die dag “ophou bakleihet” en sy hart vir die Here gegeehet. Henry se eie getuienis kan indie omslag van die album geleesword. Dis ’n verstommende ver-
haal en ’n bewys dat die Here ’nplan met elke mens se lewe het.Hy’t op Fochville in Noordwes
grootgeword waar hy ook in 2000gematrikuleer het. Hywas goed insport, veral gholf, maar ook ’n ti-piese rebelse tiener. Ironies ge-noeg was sy bynaam op skool“Pastoor”. “In my hart het ek ge-weet ek’t ’n roeping in die lewe,”
vertelHenry,maar vir lankhet hydaardie roepingonderdrukenaandie skadukant van die lewe rond-beweeg – die kant waar drank endwelms hoogty gevier het.Hy’t ná skool op die myne begin
werk enwas op twintig die jongstevoorman by ’n myn in die Noord-
Kaap.Hy’t hard gewerk maar ook
baie hard gespeel … en baiehard baklei.Dis toe dat Tannie Lillemo-
re, ’n sendeling, sy pad opNortham naby Rustenburgkruis. Sy’t daarheen getrek inopdrag van die Here. Sy’t homnie geoordeel nie, net baiemethom gesels. Oor die Woord enoor Jesus. Dis sy wat hom totbekering gebring het.Hy was “besope en vol
dwelms” toe Tannie Lillemo-re een aand met hom gepraathet en vir homgesê het dieHe-re het ’n plan met hom.“Terwyl sy gepraat het, het
ek skielik nugter geraak en ’nencounter met God gehad. Ekwas dadelik sober en by myverstand en het net daar myhart virGod gegee. Sulke tripsvat gewoonlik 8 tot 13 ure omuit te werk. Ek het besef dieHerehetmyvandwelmsenal-kohol bevry. Dit was radical.”Dit was Tannie Lillemore
wat hom by die Hatfield-oplei-dingsentrum in Pretoria afgelaaihet. Hy is daar as pastoor opgelei,enhet sy vrou, Justine,wat ook te-ologie studeer het, daar ontmoet.Vandag is Henry ’n geliefde pa,
skoonseun, pastoor envriend ... enook ’n talentvolle san-ger. Sy debuutalbum is beskik-baar by alle CUM-boekwinkels.

She met him online and just a fewmonths later her entire life has fallenapart. She was a lonely Johannesburg
woman and after spending many nightsalone while raising her son, she decided togo looking for love.Like many others she registered on sever-
al dating sites in the hopes of finding herMrPerfect, but now – just a few months later– she sits in her Blouberg apartment consid-ering suicide to end it all. This is the tragiclove story of a lonely desperate woman whouprooted her entire life in the pursuit of truelove.In recent weeks, police in Melkbosstrand
and Table View have issued numerouswarnings about 419 dating scams followingthe arrest of four fraudsters found to bescamming lonely individuals out of mil-lions. While most people have heard of thescams and dismissed those who fall prey tofraudsters being stupid, this woman has lift-ed the lid on an elaborate emotional scam.The woman, who has asked to remain
anonymous, was an advertising executivewho sought love online. In 2015, she met aSpanish man who claimed to be a construc-tion mogul. He told her he would be comingto South Africa as he had just landed a con-tract worth R230 million.“Hewas in theUKat the timebuthismoth-
er lives in Sea Point. He said he wanted to
be with me and that I was beautiful. He sentme pictures of his daughter. I spoke to himon the phone and his mother and daughter.”While it appeared she had met the love of
her life, things were about to change as thecompany she was working for had com-mencedwith retrenchments. “I was worriedand toldhim I didnotknow what to do. Wediscussed it and I de-cided to take thepackage. He told meI could work for himand we decided Iwould relocate toCapeTown. I also putmy house on themarket but I didn’texpect it to sell thatquickly.”She moved to Cape Town and hoped to
meet her newmother-in-law, but was told asshewas not yetmarried shewas not allowedto.“He was in a hotel in the UK and told me
he had problems paying his hotel bill. I senthim R40 000. Then he had a heart attack andthe hospital would not let him go until hepaid R100 000. So I sent him themoney. Thenhe needed another R100 000 and so I sent itto him.”She shows TygerBurger the transactions
of large sums of money transferred to FNBand Absa bank accounts.Thewoman says after sending him all this
money she continuously questioned theman about when he would arrive in CapeTown.“But it’s just excuse after excuse, so I told
himhewas a con andhewas very hurt aboutwhat I said. At this point I don’t know if hewill ever come and I went to check on the
mother’s house be-cause I had the ad-dress, but could notfind it. Last week Ithought about suicidebecause I don’t knowwhat to do.”In addition to send-
ing the Spanish manmoney, she also sentmoney to his mother.When presented withthe facts of 419 scams
issued by police, the woman says while shedoesn’t understand how she fell for it shestill hopes her Spanish lover will find hisway to Cape Town.“At this time I am not sending him any
money. Women must be so careful becauseI sent this man my CV and I am sure he didresearch on me because he has my ID num-ber. Imet awoman fromBellvillewho is alsowaiting for a German man. It is very scarywhat they do to you and I don’t know whatI am going to do. Women must be very care-ful and never send them money.”The woman has reported thematter to Ta-
ble View police and will go for counselling.
Woman falls prey to scamster
But it’s just excuseafter excuse, so I toldhim he was a conand he was very hurtabout what I said.

Breathe in, breathe out … asimple action mostly takenfor granted.
One might be expected to beslightly out of breath when youcross the finish line of your firstmarathon (42.2km); even more so ifyou started off with a 3.8km swim,followed by 180km on a bicycle.
But for Steven Hall from DeBron, completing the gruellingIronman triathlon in Port Eliza-beth in April was a highlight in ajourney “to pay things forward”.
“I’m very grateful that I have thephysical ability to take part in anIronman event as well as taking forgranted that I can breathe unaidedeach day – and I do this for thosewho can’t.”
Steven is a man on a mission tocreate awareness for the Breathea-sy Programme, a unique initiativefrom the Red Cross Children’s Hos-pital.
“When a child needs ventilationassistance, the government willcover the costs while they are inhospital, but not when they leavethe hospital. So up until now thesechildren would have to spendyears in hospital until they areeventually weaned off the trache-ostomy because of the specialistcare needed,” says Steven.
The Breatheasy Programmetrains the parents to be able to lookafter their children so that they canreturn home and lead as normal alife as possible. “So there is onething training the parents, butmost of these kids need specialistequipment to assist them to
breathe. Some of this equipmentcould cost up to R107 000 for onechild. My efforts to raise funds andawareness is specifically aimed atraising the money for the necessa-ry equipment – something ourstate does not cover.”
Steven’s journey started whenhis mother passed away in May2015 after spending over 100 days ina UK hospital, most of them in anICU ward with a tracheostomy inplace. “She went into hospital justdays after her 68th birthday tohave a (cancerous) lump removedfrom her lung. The operation wasa success but (she) ended up pick-ing up a hospital bug while in re-covery.
“She started having sei-zures … had a stroke too. Eventu-ally the hospital induced a coma.Breathing issues caused her toneed a tracheostomy.”
Steven says he is a son of the soil,but his parents, who originallycame from the UK before his birth,moved back around 2001.
“I went to visit my mom in hospi-tal in March/April (2015) on the ad-vice of the doctors. She woke out ofher coma while I was there, butdrifted back a day before I wasmeant to go home. She was able tospeak a few words to me througha trachea mask that they would puton for about 10 minutes every day.It was spending time with her inthe hospital that I was appreciativeof the great (free) care that she wasgiven that I decided I wanted togive something back.”
With his mom’s condition nei-ther improving nor worsening,Steven returned to SA, until he re-
ceived a call mid-May from the doc-tors saying that they thought theyhave reached the end of the road.
“On 18 May they switched themachines off and on the earlymorning of 19 May she passedaway peacefully with her childrenby her side.’’
In between his two visits to the
UK he came across the BreatheasyProgramme via Twitter andthought it was perfect. He contact-ed Sister Jane Booth of the RedCross Hospital that runs the pro-gramme.
“I went to visit her, told her of mymother in hospital, and that I want-ed to help. I wasn’t sure what kind
of impact I could make, but be-lieved that a drop in the oceancould cause a ripple.”
Steven started jogging a fewyears ago and has completed a fewhalf marathons, but consideredhimself a back of the pack athlete.At the end of 2014 he joined theWingman Triathlon group and inJanuary 2015 finished the HalfIronman in East London.
“This was the biggest enduranceevent that I had ever done and pret-ty much ticked off the bucket list.It was meant to be a once-offevent.”
But after his mother’s passingand meeting with Booth, he decid-ed that the best way he could raisefunds and create awareness wasthrough his sport.
His employer, Old Mutual start-ed a campaign, More than Your-self, through which he set up a fun-draising page. Under Wingmancoach David Sullivan’s guidancethey set up a plan to complete thefull Ironman.
“When the training got tough, Iwould remind myself why I was do-ing this. It was for more than my-self.”
Between August 2015 and 10April (when Ironman was held)Steven ran over 760km, cycled over5250km and swam over 120km.
So far, his fundraising page hasraised almost R30 000. “By raisingfunds we can contribute to improv-ing the quality of life for these chil-dren and help them lead the nor-mal life that they deserve.”VSteven’s fundraising page can be foundat http://morethanyourself.co.za/fun-draiser/steven-hall-2/

Bothasig police officers got more than theybargained for when they decided to stop andsearch a heavily loaded bakkie.
Warrant Officer Johan Kotze and Consta-bles Cello Mcutshenge and Andrew Simmerfrom the Bothasig police were on patrol onthe N7 in the direction of Cape Town recent-ly when they noticed a heavily laden silverColt bakkie. As there has been successeswith abalone busts, they decided to investi-gate as the back of the vehicle was coveredwith tarpaulin.
When the members indicated that thedriver should pull over, he ignored themand sped away. The officers then chased thevehicle from theN7 to theN1andeventuallyto the intersection of the R300 and the Stel-
lenbosch Arterial Road, where the vehiclewas pulled over.
As the occupants exited, one of them shotat the chasing members. The officers man-aged to detain two of the three suspects.When the bakkie was searched, they didn’tfind abalone, but approximately a ton ofcopper cable which was later identified asEskom overhead cables.
Both suspects were arrested and detainedat the Kuils River police station on chargesof attempted murder and possession of pre-sumed stolen property.
Lieutenant-Colonel Patrick Jacobspraised the members for their tenacious-ness in this incident by not letting the sus-pects escape and their successful arrests.

’n Busbestuurder van Ruyterwachthet die lewe van sy 13 passasiers ge-red toe hy aanhou ry het nadat boos-
wigte ’n staal paal teen die voorruit van diebus gegooi het.
Faizel Adams was omstreeks 01:30 op dieN1-snelweg onderweg uit Kaapstad om wer-kers te gaan aflaai.
“Naby die Engen-garage naby Kraaifon-tein het iemand skielik uit die bosse te voor-skyn gekom. Toe gooi die persoon ’n paalin die rigting van die bus. Die paal tref toedie kant van die ruit, maar die skade wasnie so erg dat ek nie kon sien nie.
“My instink sê toe vir my ek moet nie stopnie,maaraanhoury. Indaardie oomblikhetek net aan my passasiers se veiligheid ge-dink.Ek is seker diemanof symakkerswouhê ek moes stop sodat hulle of die bus konsteel of ons leed aandoen,” sê Adams.
Adams sê hy is dankbaar dat hulle niksoorgekomhetnie,maarwil togmensewaar-sku wat die pad gebruik. “Ek is seker as diepaal die ruit voluit getref het, was ons ingroot moeilikheid. Dit kon my visie versperhet en wie weet wat kon gebeur. Mense watin daardie omgewing ry moet op hul hoedewees, veral in die donkerte,” sê Adams.
Brig. Gerda van Niekerk, woordvoerder
van die Kraaifontein-polisie, sê hulle hetnog nie van ’n soortgelyke voorval gehoornie. “Ons het al voorvalle gehad waar men-se se motors langs die pad gaan staan heten hulle dan deur rowers oorval is. Mensemoet nie net op die N1 versigtig wees nie,maar op alle paaie, veral in die nag,” sê sy.

German registered non-profit organisation,sails across the globe with the purpose ofbringing “Knowledge, Help andHope” to thenations of the world.Part of their vision is to promote peace by
embracing diversity, and as CapetonianNeilMeiring can attest, it can be a challengewhen you are part of a crew of 400 membersfrom over 50 different nations.After 16 months on board, the former car
mechanic from Kensington says “it’s thebest experience” he has ever had.Neil felt led by the Lord to quit his job, not
surewhat the next stepwould be. Soon after-wards he heard about the Logos Hopethrough an OM Ministries outreach at theStrewers church in Kensington.“I didn’t want to do it. I tried everything
to get out of it, but it was like the Lord kepttelling me this is what I should do.”The crew and staff are all non-salaried vol-
unteers, with many working in their profes-sional capacity. Neil started out in the galleyand worked his way to the engine room.Since the 1970s the fleet of GBA ships has
been welcomed in over 500 ports in morethan 160 countries as the ship provides goodeducational literature and promotes unityin diversity.V The Logos Hope is at Jetty 2 at the V&A Waterfrontuntil Monday 11 July.

LEWENSKIEKIE
Teach youngones tofall in loveI sat upright with my legs dangling overthe edge of the seat, my tiny handsfidgeted in anticipation. The lights wentdown, the curtains opened, the actionstarted … and I was in love.
I must have been about six or sevenyears old when my Oumie took me to seemy first theatre production. In those daysoptions were limited, but every schoolholiday my gran would drive me off toThe Baxter Theatre to see the latestchildren’s piece.
It was the beginning of a long and verybeneficial love affair.
You see, my love of theatre opened awhole new world to me.
I have travelled to prohibition-eraAmerican prison cells in Chicago, toParis with Phantom of the Opera, toexotic Africa with Postcard from Morocco,experienced Russian folklore with SwanLake and 15th Century England withShakespeare’s Richard III.
The theatreunlocked myimagination andintroduced me to aworld of fantasythat allowed me toexperience stories,music and beautifulimagery that wouldoften stay with melong after I left thevenue.
But, sometimeswhen I speak topeople, I realisethat many still see
the theatre as an exclusive experience,despite the fact that the vibrant artsculture in Cape Town lends itself to farmore inclusivity than ever before.
This winter school holiday, for exam-ple, sees a great number of children’stheatre productions on offer around CapeTown.
Then there’s all the community theatreinitiatives going on around the northernsuburbs – from the Milnerton Players tothe youth-driven Project 021.
And, if theatre isn’t your thing, thestand-up comedy and magic industriesare both on the rise.
Add the huge number of live musicevents in TygerBurger’s weekly “What’sOn” diary and Capetonians really arespoilt for choice when it comes toentertainment – even during the tradi-tionally quiet winter months.
A wise producer once told me thataudiences need to be developed. We needto expose young audiences to the stage inorder to cultivate theatre-going adults.
So, why not take a child to the theatrethis holiday? You might just prompt alife-long love affair. – Louisa Steyl

The article “Centre ofcontroversy”, TB, 15 Junerefers: While the City ofCape Town is disappointed atthe turn of events, our planto provide more longer-termand sustainable assistance tostreet people remains ontrack.
It is true that the CapeCollege of Theology hadn’tsigned the lease by the timewe responded to the mediaenquiry from the Tabletalknewspaper, however, thecollege’s involvement wasalready in the public domainat the time and we had beengiven assurances in writingon three separate occasions,informing us of the follow-ing:
. That they were interest-ed in renting the facility tothe City and that they hadstarted the process of engag-ing with their stakeholderson 24 May,
. Reiterating that intereston 25 May, indicating that ameeting would take place todiscuss making parts of thefacility available to the Citywhile they resolve the issuesimpacting on the operationsof the college,
. A further email on26 May, indicating that thecollege’s Board of Directorswas in favour of the leaseagreement, pending approvalby their Board of Sharehold-ers and again raising theoffer of possible earlyoccupation by the City.
As the college had pro-posed a possible handoverdate of 1 August, I find itinteresting that it had notyet consulted with the staffand students living on siteby last week when the‘offending’ article appeared,but I digress.
I would, however, like toassure the public that whilethe lease negotiations with

I attended the recent presenta-tion at Milnerton Library onthe proposed rebuilding ofWoodbridge Island bridge. Iwas informed in reply to myquestion that the cost ofdismantling and rebuildingthe bridge is estimated atR29-million.
That point was not men-tioned in your report.
May I suggest that expendi-ture of R29m on a bridge thatactually has very littlehistoric value is completelyunconscionable? The moneycould far better be spent onthe recently announcedshelter for homeless people inKillarney and/or numerousother social projects in JoeSlovo and Dunoon. It isoutrageous that more than 20years after South Africa’stransition to constitutionaldemocracy, so many people inour community are still livingin shacks and squalor.

Peter Smulik puts two ques-tions concerning the operationof nuclear power stations(“Ignorance over nucleartech”, TB, 22 June).
One, insurance cover in theevent of a release of nuclearparticles due to an uncon-trolled event, accident, or anoperating error due to staffincompetence or constructionerrors.
At Chernobyl it was staffdoing procedures in an unsafereactor, and at Winscale,sensors wrongly positioned,resulting in a fire in thegraphite reactor core.

What he should bear inmind, is that he should bemore afraid of what is hap-pening to our food than fromnuclear waste (a personalcomment!).
We have a situation in asmall community up the WestCoast, where the prediabeticand diabetic incidence is oneperson in three.
At the turn of the century –1800s to 1900s – the worldwide cancer incidence wasone person in every onehundred and fifty.
Now it is one in five.Why?Traces of the active chemi-
cal in the herbicide Round Upare now being found in thecotton wool used in femalehygiene products, made ofcotton from geneticallymodified cotton plants.
Perhaps the human seedshould be genetically modifiedto accept Round Up and theinsecticide BT?
This genetic modifying ofplant material is not done toimprove the nutritional valueof the plant, but to make itimmune to the application ofdefinitive herbicides orinsecticides.
The insecticide BT is alsoput into the genetic make-upof the plant. We, the populus,are pursuaded to eat thisevilly contrived junk in theinterests of “worldwide foodsustainability”.
Great lobbying phrase usedon governments ...
We have already had DDT,Thalidymide, and variousother evil chemicals banned.Some, although banned, arestill being used!
It seems we are beingcommitted to a chemicaldeath and not a nuclear one!
Nuclear waste degenerates,but hard chemicals do not!

Gavin at Gospel Skouspel0LOUISA STEYL
@lousteyl
Capetonians will soon get a chance toseeTheVoice SA starGavinEdwardsin the flesh.
With his inspirational message, Gavin,the runner-up of the national singing com-petition, has been chosen to join some ofSouth Africa’s top Christian singers onthis year’s Gospel Skouspel stage.He’ll be joining Juanita du Plessis, Elvis
Blue, JoeNiemand, Retief Burger andCor-lea among others at the GrandWest GrandArena on Saturday 3 September for radiostation Tygerberg 104fm’s tenth and big-gest gospel spectacular.Gavin, who used to live in Durbanville,
says he jumped at the opportunity whenhe was invited to perform at the show.“I’m very religious and my mom has
been in theministry formywhole life,” hesays, adding: “It would be amazing to begiven the chance to standup thereand singfor God and everyone.”While Gavin is currently riding The
Voice SAwave, he’s no stranger tomusicalsuccess and his road to the competitionwas a winding one.When he first spoke to TygerBurger in
2012, hewas visiting SouthAfrica betweenworking with his band Sunshine State inAustralia. Thiswas after a chancemeetingwith Brain McFadden from Westlife sawGavin moving to Ireland for nine yearsand later travelling theworld toworkwithsongwiters such as Billy Mann, whowrites for Pink and Phil Thornalley, thewriter of Natalie Imbruglia’s “Torn”.He decided tomove back to SouthAfrica
permanently soon after meeting his wifewhile here for a holiday.
“I was away for years and just couldn’tbe away from family anymore”.
Since then he’s been busy with covershows in Johannesburg where the couplehave made their home. He also took theseventh place in the X Factor SA competi-tion in 2014.
In-between all of this, Gavin was fight-ing a personal battle though. The singerand songwriter has been open about hisstruggle with alcohol dependency sincethe start of The Voice SA.
“When it started to affect my mood on
stage and just mood in general, I knew itwas time [to change] because I love mu-sic,” Gavin explains. “I wanted to takeback control of my career and voice – andmoods and alcohol were just getting in theway of that.”
He says, in the end, it was his desire tosing and play music that switched off hisurge for alcohol.
“I still deal with some anxiety and stagefright,” he says jokingly, “but the point isto face these things sober and overcomethem instead of having a drink to avoid itor run from it.”
Gavin decided to enter The Voice SA aft-er watching an overseas version of theshow. “I just knew it was a show that gaveartists or talent the ability and platform toshowcase who they are as an artist.”
He says the competition,which sees con-testants working with a mentor, also nur-tures talent and teaches artists about thebusiness side of the entertainment indus-try.
“What an unforgettable, amazing learn-ing experience. Iwill tell any singer I knowthat if you want to learn, grow and be tak-en seriously, to enter – it’ll change yourlife.”
Gavin has been busy in studio workingon a single due to be released in July. Healso plans to start work on a full album,but first Gavin and his wife are preparingto welcome their baby boy soon.

Intaka Island, the award-winning 16hawetlands reserve in the heart of CenturyCity which has seen visitor numbers
soar in recent years, has added twonewsus-tainability exhibits – an aquaponics systemand a wind turbine – to its eco centre.AlanLiebenberg,CenturyCity’s environ-
mental officer, says just under 30 000 peoplevisited Intaka Island in 2015 – a 10% in-crease over the previous year and signifi-cantly more than the 9300 visitors recordedin 2010, the first year the eco centre wasopened. The centre is used primarily to hostschool groups as part of Intaka’s environ-mental education outreach programme butalso accommodates the general publicwhich accounts for the majority of visitors.“Of the total number of visitors last year,
7196 were learners from 125 schools – upfrom 6174 learners from 90 schools in 2014– and the numbers have continued to im-prove this year. The upgraded CAPS pro-grammes that were introduced late lastyear have been met with positive feedback
from all the schools and grades that haveused themon their visits and in the first fivemonths of this year, 52 school groups havevisited Intaka against 40 for the compara-tive period last year,” said Liebenberg.Liebenberg said they were almost at ca-
pacity in terms of schools visits as almostevery suitable day on the school calendarwas booked.“To meet the increased demand, we are
now often hosting more than one group ata time, but it has become necessary to bookwell in advance to avoid disappointment.Many of the schools have made this an an-nual outing and book from one year to an-other to secure their space.”Turning to the new exhibits, Liebenberg
said aquaponics is a system that combinesconventional aquaculture – that is the rais-ing of aquatic animals – with hydroponics,which is the cultivation of plants in water,in a symbiotic environment.“Our exhibit comprises two tanks – one
with deep water which is home to fish, anda secondwith shallowerwa-ter, pebbles and plant float-ers.“Nutrient rich water
from the fish tank flows in-to the other tank where theplants strip out the nutri-ents and polish the waterbefore it is pumped back in-to the fish tank.“As such it mimics a nat-
ural wetland system.”He said the second new
exhibit, the wind turbine,was helping Intaka achieveits long term goal of beingcompletely off the grid.Intaka Island is open to
the public daily, exceptChristmas Day, from 07:30until 17:30 inwinter and un-til 19:00 in summer.V Call Alan or Adele on021 552 6889 or visit www.in-taka.co.za for more.

Die Eersterivier-sokkerklub het verskeiespannewat goedvaar ten spyte vanmoeili-ke omstandighedewat die klub indie gesigstaar.In 1999 was daar vyf sokkerklubs in die
Eerstevier-area en is daar besluit omhullete amalgameer tot voordeel van die area.“Die klubs het onafhanklik gefunksio-
neer en daar is destyds besluit om een sok-kerklub te vestig om sodoende eenheid inons gemeenskap te bevorder. Dis hoe dieEersterivier-sokkerklub ontstaan het.”Die klub is lid van die noordelike voor-
stede se plaaslike sokkerunie.“Ons het tans 145 aktiewe lede – van ju-
niors tot seniors – en die getalle groei sta-dig. Ek voel dit kan verbeter. Die klub sedeur staan altyd vir nuwe lede oop.“As gevolg van finansiële redes is ons
beperk met ontwikkeling, maar ons hetses junior spanne wat strek van o.8 tot en
met ons o.18’s, asook twee senior spanneen ’n o.35-senior span. Ons onmiddellikedoelwit is om die ligatitel te wen waarinons voorste senior span meeding.“Onswil ook nuwe sokkertoerusting vir
al ons spanne in die klub koop, sowel asgenoeg sokkerballe vir oefeninge en wed-stryde aanskaf,” sê Bradley Williams, dieklub se voorsitter.Die klub se o.18-span het onlangsmet 2-0
afgerekenmet FCMimosa vanDuNoon ensodoende is die klub deur na die volgenderonde van die Coke-kampioenskap watSondag 12 Junie plaasgevind het.Een van die groot fokuspunte vir die
klub is om kinders aktief by die klub be-trokke te kry en vir hulle ’n alternatief tebied teen die euwel van dwelms en drank.Deur goed te presteer in kompetisies en
om sodoende meer kompeterend te wees,wil die klub die kinders se verbeeldingaangryp.“Ons het self twee topspelerswat die hul
basis hier by ons gelê het en as klub is onsbaie trots op hulle.”Tyren Arendse en Lesvin Stoffels speel
op die hoogste vlak in die land.Tyren het sy debuut in die PSL gemaak
bySantos. Daarnahet hy virOrlandoPira-tes en Sundowns uitgedraf, wat twee vandie mees gevreesde spanne in Suid-Afrikais.Hy het egter teruggekeer na Santos en
is tans dié span se kaptein.“Lesvin speel tans in die NFD-liga vir
Milano FC,” sê Bradley.Daar is nie ’n kwessie dat daar baie ta-
lent is nie, maar die klub het die nodigetoerusting en geld nodig om dit uit te bouen behoorlik te bestuur.“Ons vramaatskappye of persone in hul
persoonlike hoedanigheid om ons finansi-eel by te staan,” sê Bradley.Diegene wat by die klub wil betrokke
raak, kanBradleyWilliams by 076 603 3832kontak.

Ciara (13) a racing championADRIAN PHEIFFER
The petite Ciara van Niekerk comesacross initially as a typical 13-year-old Durbanville schoolgirl. She plays
hockey enthusiastically for the ReddamHouse u.14 team and enjoys TV shows likePretty Little Liars when she’s not too busywith her studies or homework.The one noticeable difference in the pat-
tern is that she is also a stock car racingdriver involved in the roughand tumble ontheKillarney oval track.What’smore, hav-ing just been crowned winner of the2015/2016 Access Auto Mini Champion-ship, she becomes the youngest ever driverto annex a Western Cape stock car title.It gets even better, because Ciara didn’t
have the advantage (as somany do in otherforms of racing), of having a car that wasfaster than that of thecompetition, orhad some othermechanical ad-vantage.The one-make
Access AutoMini class isstrictly con-trolled to ensureall the cars areequal.It has to be a
Mini that wasbuilt and sold inSouth Africa.The engines
must be stan-dard and maynothave a capaci-ty of more than
1100cc.Similar restrictions apply to the trans-
mission, brakesand tyres.The cars’weightand even their noise levels are restricted.Finally, only pump fuel may be used.Despite that, in her first season in a
championship with a driver age limit setfrom 12 to a mature 18, little Ciarasoon became a hard charger whotook no prisoners. And al-though she made mistakeswhile on a learning curve,she was still able to enjoy apodiumspot in every event– so much so that sheeventually finished 11points ahead of theyoung man in sec-ond place.
After it was all over she modestly credit-ed her grandpa, a prominent racer himselfin days long gone, and her father for theirhelp, claiming that without it she wouldnever have been able to accomplish whatshe did.
And the future? Well she has great aspi-rations about her racing career and hopesto be able to move onto the main circuit atKillarney before too much longer.She’ll be worth watching.

Cape Town’sGaryWheadon,whowas a firmfavourite, didn’t disappoint as he won themen’s title at the recent Brian Bands Madi-baz Open Squash Tournament in Port-Eliza-beth.The Milnerton based Wheadon, who is
ranked in the top 20 in the country, defeatedPort Elizabeth’s Rudi vanNiekerk to bag hisfifth consecutive title.The left-handed Wheadon has dominated
theMadibaz Open, but wasmade towork forhis victory against the local star.Port Elizabeth’s Lizelle Goosen won the
women’s title.Goosen, Van Niekerk’s sister, outlasted
close rival and defending champion JacquiRyder 3-2 in a tough women’s contest to re-gain the title.After jumping to a 2-0 lead, Wheadon was
put on the back foot by an aggressive VanNiekerk in the third game, with the PEmanholding three game points at 10-7.Wheadon closed the gap to 10-9 before Van
Niekerk played a drop shot into the nick toseal the game 11-9.However, the defending champion, who
showed great patience and consistencywhen thepressuremounted, regained the in-itiative in the fourth to run out a deservingwinner.Goosen and Ryder had a ding-dong battle
in thewomen’s final. After conceding a tightthird game 11-8 to trail 2-1, Ryder foughtback to level matters. The number one seedhowever maintained her composure to stayon top in the deciding game.Tournament organiser andMadibaz num-
ber one Jason le Roux, who ended in thirdplace, said they were satisfied with anothersuccessful event.“We are very happy with the way things
turned out. We had a very nice entry, withsome good strength up front and lots of closematches in the middle section. We also hadsomenewcomers in the bottomhalf and theyremarked to me how much they enjoyedwatching the top players in action.”Le Roux said their objective was to grow

Neil van der Vyver (8) ry letterlik enfiguurlik stof in die oë van sy teen-standers.
Dié graad 2-leerder van die Voorberei-dingskool Durbanville is onlangs gekiesvir die Suid-Afrikaanse motocross-span.Neil gaan van 19 tot 21 Augustus as die
land se voorste 50 cc-ryer aan die FIM seAfrika-motocross-kampioenskap by Jam-huri Park in Nairobi, Kenia deelneem.Hy is tans nie net die voorloper in die
plaaslike MX-reeks in die Westelike Pro-vinsie nie, maar ook die voorloper in MSAse nasionale reeks in die 50 cc-PRO-klas enhet sover skoonskip gemaak en al die vori-ge nasionale kompetisies gewen wat van-jaar gehou is.“My pa,Werner, het virmy ’nmotorfiets
gekoop toe ek drie jaar oud was en dit ishoe ons by Zone 7 uitgekom het en anderryers ontmoet het.“Ek hetmy eerste resies gehad toe ek vyf
jaar oud was en dit was ook in daai jaarwaarin ek die eerste keer gewen het.“Daar is virmyniks lekkerder as ommet
my bike te ry op my gunstelingbaan, Zone7, nie en ook omal die ander bane enplekkeoor die land heen te sien nie,” vertel Neil.Die oomblik wat Neil graag onthou, is
vroeër vanjaar toe hy voor die Kaapstadsenasionale kampioenskap die rooi bord ge-kry het omdat hy die voorloper op puntein sy klas in die land is.“Dit was vir my ’n baie lekker gevoel, en
dit spoor my aan om net beter te word. Ekoefen twee keer ’n week by Zone 7 vir sotwee uur op ’n slag. Ek is baie opgewondeom Kenia toe te gaan, en ek gaan my bestegee en gaan om te wen,” sê Neil vol moed.
As dit by helde in dié sport kom, verwyshy onmiddellik na die Amerikaner RyanDungey wat verskeie titels hou.“Ryan is my held en dit sal cool wees om
hom eendag te ontmoet.”
