His journey is bursting with oil colours de-picting landscapes, and his story is deliver-ed to distant parts of the world such as Ger-many, Portugal and the United Kingdom.Heiron has sold many paintings since he
took on art as a hobby, and he has sold topeople in all these countries.It comes as no surprise that thisman from
Milnerton is inspiring others while he jour-neys through life.“It took me quite a while to master the
brush while holding it in my mouth. Cont-rol is obviously a difficult thing to achieve,
but serious concentration does the trick.”The Grand Canyon has taken him the bet-
ter part of a month of painting for three tofour days a week. He knows he should takea break when he starts feeling pins andneedles in his arms and legs, caused by thestrain on his neck vertebrae.Every day Heiron seizes as a gift.That day in Paternoster could have been
his last were it not for someone who sawhim dive in and never come up.If he let his misery get the better of him
he would never even have left the hospital.
Instead, he is a shining light of encourage-ment.Heiron’s dream is to paint the seven won-
ders of the world on one canvas, somethinghe says would be a message in itself.What message?He responds quickly: “One of hope.”Heiron has just recently sold his fourth
painting to people living abroad and hasanother client from Australia lined up.

Furore over new n’hood watchANDRÉ BAKKES
@andrebakkes
Tensions are running high in the grea-ter Table View area due to an issuedescribed as “extremely sensitive” by
a number of sources.The local Community Police Forum
(CPF) and Table View NeighbourhoodWatch (TVNW) are squaring off against abreakaway faction calling themselves Par-klands Neighbourhood Watch (PNW).
Table View police are, at the time of goingto press, keeping their distance and notcommenting on the matter.
As a result, the question about whetherPNW is legal have to remain unanswered.
The fuss started when TVNW memberand Parklands resident Bjorn Harrison Sa-gar decided that Parklands, Sunningdaleand the new Rivergate suburbs are beingmarginalised by the existing neighbour-hood watch.
These areas fall under Table View policeand TVNW sector 2.
Sagar then established anotherneighbourhood watch, allegedly withoutthe necessary permission from the police orthe CPF.
According to him just under 50% of theactive Parklands members of TVNW follo-wed him to PNW. That means there have re-cently been two neighbourhood watches pa-trolling the streets of sector 2 – one not re-cognised by the other.
Rumours about “heavy-handedness” ofPNWmembers and them“doing the police’sjob” have been doing the rounds, but Sagarsays these are completely false.
“Bring these guilty parties forward. The-re are none. We are strongly opposed to thisway of doing things,” he insists.
“When opening this watch we have actedwithin our constitutional rights. We are notdoing anything illegal.”
According to him he has had numeroushigh level meetings with various authori-
ties in the recent past and he is confidentPNW will be allowed to operate.
Sagar reckons people should see the “big-ger picture”, as he explains: “We are all he-re for crimeprevention.Wewant to help thecommunity and we should all work toge-ther. Claremont has four neighbourhoodwatches. Bothasig has one.Edgemead has one. Whycan’t Parklands also haveone?”
CPF chairperson AndrewBrace insists that PNW isnot being recognised by theCPF or the police.
Brace adds: “In MitchellsPlain there were eightneighbourhood watches,but most were closed downby provincial commissio-ner Arno Lamoer becauseof a lack of coordination.The more watches there arethe harder it becomes to co-ordinate matters. The CPFis made up of many forums and we have tomake it work. We and the TVNW form partof one of the biggest success stories in theprovince. Quite frankly, Sagar doesn’t wantto work in these structures.”
TVNW’s Ryno Roberts also reckons PNWis illegal.
“Why interfere with something thatworks? Yes, according to us they are illegal,but that isn’t our decision. We would preferto stay out of it. This creates confusion inthe neighbourhoods,” he says.
Table View station commander Dirk Vos-loo has indicated that he will release a state-ment on Thursday or Friday to clarify thematter.
One of the reasons mooted for the opposi-tion towards PNW is that the policewouldn’t want to sit in even more meetings.
Sagar responds by saying everyoneshould meet during the CPF meetings, sothere would be no extra meeings.
“Why is there a satellite police station inParklands?” asks Sagar before answering:“Parklands needs focussed micro-manage-ment. People call us vigilantes and saywe’re illegal, but they should sit down, takea breath, and really think about it.”
Brace responds by saying that there is in-deed a neighbourhoodwatch operating in Par-klands – TVNW sector 2.
“There are three sectorsin the greater Table Viewarea and each has its ownwatch. TVNW sector 1,TVNW sector 2 and TVNWsector 3.”
Spokesperson for the lo-cal CPF, Gemma Rede-lingshuys, weighs in: “Ac-cording to South AfricanPolice Service Act, Act 68of 1995, the police shall, inorder to achieve the ob-jects contemplated in Sec-tion 215 of the Constituti-
on, liaise with the community through theCPF. No structure is able to exist in TableView without being registered through thelocal CPF and the local police. Ultimatelythe CPF is responsible for the whole com-munity. At this point in time, there is no actin place allowing the Department of Com-munity Safety to grant a neighbourhoodwatch structure legal grounds to exist wit-hin a community. In a community with analready well-established neighbourhoodwatchwith strong ties to the community, lo-cal authorities and armed response, a se-condneighbourhoodwatch is nonsensical.”
During multiple interviews with invol-ved parties (not all of them quoted above),a lot was said off the record. The residents,who are unwittingly caught in the confusi-on, needs this to be resolved as soon as pos-sible.

“We live in a country where there is moregood than bad, so let’s give a little back.”
So says self-proclaimed optimist fromMelkbosstrand, Joe-Anne Kerr (42).
She practises what she preaches, helpingto feed 46 children between the ages of threeand seven-years-old from Monday to Fri-day.
The children who go to ACVV Koeberg’spre-school now eat rice, pasta and soupfrom Monday to Thursday and on Fridaythey get treated with a full meal, yoghurt,fruit and juice.
Kerr has managed to get Argon SupplyChains Solutions on board, who have gladlycommitted to being a sponsor for the Fridaymeals.
Unfortunately, getting sponsors for theMonday to Thursday meals is proving moredifficult.
Says Kerr: “We depend on the Melkbos-strand community, but donations are very
slim. We need about R625 per day to feed thechildren and we get nowhere near that.”
The result is that Kerr covers the short-fall from her own pocket.
She has now reached out to the communi-ty via TygerBurger and hopes somethinggood will come from it.
“As long as I just keep doing good,” shesays.
Kerr first saw an ACVV advertisement inJanuary asking for donations, and immedi-ately knew she could help.
The idea that the children would eat rice,pasta and soup every day was unacceptableto her so she started the “Friday meal” idea.
. Meanwhile, the children of ACVV, withthe help of Kerr and Driftwood Café, enjoy-ed a fabulous Easter recently when theyhunted for eggs and frolicked on jumpingcastles and waterslides.
The waterslide was sponsored by Drif-twood Café’s owner, Philip “Kids wanna ha-ve fun!” Smith.
The community are doing their bit to helpchildren in need – are you?
Help make every day FridayThe ACVV Koeberg children enjoyed Easter at Driftwood Café.

Legendes lok mense van oralBRENDEN RUITER
Die huis naby die hoek van die straatis onopvallend. Voor die deur staan’n karavaan en ’n rooi Mini – die ou-
tydse tipe. ’n Handgeskrewe kennisge-wingbord gee die indruk dat dit amateursis wat hier woon en werk: “Johnny Tat-toos.”
Dit is egter in die studio langs die huiswaar ’n mens sien dit is kundiges se werk-plek. Vergrote prente van tatoeëermerkehang die mure vol. Dan kom die legenda-riese Johnny Salmonsen in. Hy is in dievolksmond net as Johnny Tattoo bekend.
Johnny is reeds 42 jaar ’n tatoeëerkun-stenaar en ’n kultusfiguur onder die lief-hebbers van velkuns. Mense kom van alleuithoeke van die stad, maar ook uit dieplatteland om tatoes te kry.
“Ek het een jaar ’n tattoo machine in diehande gekry,” sê Johnny in sy kenmerken-de sagte stem. “Ek het toe saam met Jim-my Adams begin werk en my skills ge-slyp.”
Jimmy Adams was die eerste bekendetatoeëer-kunstenaar in Kaapstad.
Mobiele eenheidJohnny het toe ’n mobiele eenheid op die
been gebring en so ver as Durban en dieSuidkus gereis om sy kuns te pleeg. Hy isnou 22 jaar lank op dieselfde plek in Ruy-terwacht.
Hy en sy jarelange vriend, Donnie Hey-denrych (54), werk saam. Donnie sê hy hetas 14-jarige na ’n deurklokkie gestaar engedink dit werk nogal baie soos ’n tatoe-eermasjien. “Ek het die deurklok afgehaalen my eie masjien gebou. Daarna het ekdit na Mister (Jimmy) Adams gevat. Ditwas vir my ’n groot eer toe Mister Adamsmy masjien vir ’n kunswerk gebruik,” ver-tel Donnie.
Hy sê die regte groot aanvraag na tatoe-eermerke het in die negentigs begin. “ToeMandela vrygelaat is, het mense se denkemeer vry geword. ’n Mens kan amper sêhulle het uit die kas geklim. Deesdae is ditamper soos seisoene, eers was dit die Ja-pannese letters, toe feetjies. Vandag is ditmeer persoonlike tatoeëermerke waarnamense soek.”
Dan waarsku hy teen te persoonlikekunswerke. “Moet nooit jou meisie of vrouse naam op jou lyf sit nie! Ek sê altyd virmense verhoudings hou nie. Sit eerder joukind se naam of jou eie op.”
Ook sê Donnie, doen hulle nie bende-te-kens nie. “Sê nou ek doen vandag ’n kuns-werk en iemand lê môre dood omdat hy dieding op hom het, sal ek nie baie lekker voelnie.”
Ongemaklike oomblikkeDie manne wil nie baie uitbrei oor hul
ongemaklikste oomblikke in die studionie. “Ons het al kunswerke op snaakseplekke gegee,” lag Donnie.
Donnie en Johnny moes ook al hul werkteen kerkmense verdedig.
“In die ou vertaling word gesê jy mag niemerke op jou lyf maak nie, maar in Open-baring 19 vers 16 sê die Bybel ‘En Hy draop sy kleed en op sy heup die Naam watgeskrywe is: Die Koning van die konings’.Ek vermoed daai was ’n tatoe op die heup,”sê Donnie.
Het die ouderdom nie ’n effek op hulhande wanneer hulle werk nie? “Wanneer’n kunstenaar eers aan sy masjien vat, danis die hande stil,” verseker Donnie.
Johnny sê hy is lus om weer op die padte gaan met die tatoeëerkuns, maar Don-nie sê hulle gaan bietjie die studio opknap.Wat ook al hulle doen, die studio is in goeiehande, want hul seuns Jason en Thomasgaan die kuns voortsit.
Residents meetThe Brooklyn, Ysterplaat and Rugbyresidents’ association will hold theirmonthly meeting at 18:00 on Thursday 8May at Ysterplaat Primary School inKoeberg Road. All members of thecommunity or anyone with an interest inthe area are welcome to attend.V Call 083 639 2339 or email [email protected] more information.

Despite a few “teething problems”, theMyCiTi service is on track, with ne-arly a million passengers using the
service per month.Brett Herron, city mayoral committee
member for transport, says overall 972 343passenger journeys were recorded on theMyCiTi bus service in March.“This figure includes the passenger jour-
neys on the new routes toHoutBay andDu-noon.”This increase bodes well for the future of
the service, but behind the scenes, variousobstacles still need to be overcome.In March the city cancelled the R234 mil-
lion contract with Lumen Technologies,who were responsible for the control cen-tre.The contract included the scheduling
and monitoring of the MyCiTi bus operati-ons.
NonperformanceDeputy mayor Ian Neilson said at the ti-
me that the seven-year contract had beencancelled due to “non-performance”.The reasons for termination is not stan-
ding in the way of Lumen threatening thecitywith legal action that could potentiallycost the city R50 million in compensation.Subcontractor Shaun Patterson from
Questek claims Lumen also owes themR10million for work done on the MyCiTi con-tract.Patterson cast some light on the cancella-
tion of the contract when he said Lumenwereunable to renew theR5million perfor-mance bond required by the city when theproject ran late, and was therefore in bre-ach of contract.Herron says the cancellation means
“certain functionality, such as real-timepassenger information displays on the pas-senger information boards at the stationsand on the mobi-site have been affected”.However, the city has still managed to im-plement theMyCiTi service to Dunoon andAtlantis. A new contractor should be inplace by June.On the teething problems experienced so
far, Herron said some media platforms ha-ve focused on the opinions of a small per-centage of unhappy commuters.
Worldwide reality“When viewed in context against passen-
ger numbers, complaints represent lessthan 1% of the total passenger journeys re-corded,” he said.Herron maintained: “The phenomenal
uptake of the MyCiTi service over the pastfew months confirms residents’ need for asafe, reliable and affordable public trans-port system.”Herron said that the city launched the
MyCiTi route linking Imizamo Yethu,Hangberg and Hout Bay with the city cen-tre on 16 February.On 1 March the City extended the main
route (T01) to Dunoon and have already in-creased the number of buses on the routedue to demand.On 5 July MyCiTi will be launched in
Mitchells Plain and Khayelitsha.

As part of its ongoing corporate social in-vestment to strengthen literacy among le-arners in disadvantaged communities,staff members from the Chevron Refineryshowed their support for World Book Dayby donating a collection of books, and byreading to learners in Grade R to Grade 3at Dunoon Primary.Donna Fata, manager for policy, govern-
ment and public affairs at Chevron Refine-ry, says investing in education and literacyis vital.“According to the Department of Basic
Education’s Annual National Assessmentresults for 2013, only one in three childrenin South Africa is sufficiently literate bythe time they reach grade 3. Much workneeds to be done to improve this situationgiven thewidely acceptedview that illitera-cy threatens one’s ability to become econo-mically active. Illiteracy also inhibits so-cio-economic transformation and econo-mic development.” Dunoon PrimarySchool is one of two educational facilitiesthrough whom Chevron has a partnershipwith in the Dunoon community.

Most people would have given up a long ti-me ago, but as writer GK Chesterton oncesaid: “You cannot love a thing withoutwanting to fight for it.”Deborah Boyes loves helping people and
she will defiantly shake her fist at the tem-pest enveloping her.Her non-profit organisation (NPO), Boy-
es Helping Hands, is on the brink of closu-re.“We are so close to shutting our doors
and I don’t want to see this happen. My he-art is breaking,” says Deborah.She had to fight an ardous battlewith the
South African Revenue Service to get per-mission to run a charity shop, and was fi-nally victorious when the it opened in a lo-cal centre last year.Unfortunately the shop, which was the
primary source of funding for the NPO,had to close down a month ago.Now the NPO has had to stop feeding
about 200 destitute people and 13 needy fa-milies a month because they have no inco-me.“It has been devastating to us, and if we
cannot find a premises to operate from ve-ry soon, we will need to close our doors,”she continues.It is ironic that the very despondencyDe-
borah is feeling now was one of her maindriving factors for starting the organisati-on.In November 2012 TygerBurger reported
in the article entitled “Giving back joy af-ter hard life” that Deborah’s own “experi-ence of hopelessness has driven her to dowhatever she can to help the plight of thosewhose futures look equally bleak as hersonce did.”The article reads: “Her birth to a teenage
mother who didn’t want her was followedby a loveless childhood, an abusive relati-onship, losing custody of her daughter andeventually being on the street. A chance vi-sit to a church led to someone taking herin. The compassion she experienced hereis something she now wishes to extend toothers.”Now Deborah has to plead for another
act of compassion.And standing behind her are 200 home-
less people, 13 families and pupils at theParkview Primary school in Atlantis, whohave directly benefitted from the NPO.The pupils of this school have been hel-
ped with the provision of food, school clo-thing, sporting equipment and the provisi-on of a high school education.She concludes: “I dedicated my entire
self to building up the NPO so that it couldbe a hope and a help for those in need, be-cause I have been there myself, I knowwhat it is like to be out on the streets, tohave nowhere to go, and to have nothingto eat. I now have to look into the faces ofthe peoplewe helped and say: ‘I am sorry.’”V If anybody can give any assistance to Deborahthey can contact her on 076 655 5918.
Help neededfor NPO thathelps poor
Deborah Boyes from Boyes Helping Handsneed help to keep her NPO running. Here sheshows her love for a pupil at one of theschool’s the NPO regularly helps.

Anonymous, if you are a proudbusiness owner, why did younot add your company name(“Small business feels thepinch”, TygerBurger, 23 April)?As someone who supports
small businesses and a formerowner, I know it does not comewithout hard work, ethics andvalues.It is, however, sad that there
are so many small businessowners who over-promise andunder-deliver. Always veryeager to accept the work, expectpayment and never to be seenagain.The only thing customers
expect is to pay for the prom-ised service – nothing more,nothing less – before partingwith hard-earned money.
It is unfortunate that thereare business owners like you orthe one you referred to condon-ing poor work and bad practise.You say you “jump to the
next job to survive”. This iswhy so many people arehesitant to support smallbusinesses. Good service,products or workmanship willbuild a reputable business.

plaaslik of nasionaal – se plig is om teluister na die gemeenskappe wat hy dien,só is dit ons plig om verantwoordelik tekies om die regte regering in plek te stel.Te veel mense kla oor hoe oneffektief
die regering is, hoe korrup hulle is, hoehulle net na hulself kyk. Dit mag alleswaar wees, maar reg oor die wêreld is ditinherent aan elke regering.Dit maak dit egter nie reg nie. Dit is
ons plig om ons regerings by hul belofteste hou, maar dan moet daar gekla wordén by die regte plekke.Te veel mense kla byvoorbeeld by
TygerBurger, maar het dan nog nie eensdie aangeleentheid by die regte owerheidaangemeld nie. En as daar nie by ’nowerheid gekla word nie, het hulle allerede om te glo alles is heeltemal in ordeen alle kiesers is tevrede. ’n Geklaerysonder aksie van die klaer se kant af, isoneffektief en bring geen verandering nie.Geen koerant kan ook mense se per-
soonlike probleme oplos nie. Dis ook niehul mandaat nie – die gemeenskap in diealgemeen se belang is hul mandaat.Deurdat TygerBurger voortdurend vrae
vra, die owerhede onder druk sit omantwoorde te gee oor gemeenskapskwes-sies, word baie probleme aangespreek.Hulle wil immers nie sleg lyk by hulkiesers nie.So, doen vandag jou plig, én hou hulle
dan op hul tone. Jy het immers die regverdien om dit te doen.

Wenkombinasie tree opSy’s nie iemand wat na woorde soek nie,
of lank dink oor antwoorde nie. Ná so-veel jare op die verhoog as topakteur
met talle toekennings agter haar naam, isSandra Prinsloo immers onderhoudfiks.
Ook oor haar jongste optrede saam metMarius Weyers in Vir Ewig en Altyd, geselssy maklik, want so beskryf sy hul verhou-ding ná 28 jaar saam op die verhoog.
Dié stuk, waarvan TygerBurger die media-borg is, open op 13 Mei in die Bellville-stad-skouburg.
Sy sê ’n tweepersoon-stuk soos Vir Ewigen Altyd het groot uitdagings, omdat jy nooitvan die verhoog af is nie. “Die akteurs moetbaie fyn ingestel wees op mekaar. Jy kan nievir ’n oomblik konsentrasie verloor nie. MetMarius is dit maklik. Hy’s iemand wat ekvertrou. Ons ken mekaar goed en het al so-veel verskillende verhoudings teenoor me-kaar gespeel. Ons hoef mekaar nie van vooraf te leer ken nie. Dit is wonderlik om weersaam met hom op die verhoog te wees,” sêsy
Die kwelpunte wat in dié stuk uitmekaargehaal word, gaan hoofsaaklik oor genade-dood. Sandra se karakter hoor sy is termi-naal siek en sy vra haar man (Marius) omhaar te help sterf. Die stuk speel hom mees–tal af waar hulle as ’t ware wag dat sy moetdoodgaan. Sandra bring die grootste deelvan die toneelstuk deur in ’n bed – haar sterf-bed – en het net haar stem om mee te “speel”.
“Ja, die storie is hartseer,” vertel sy,“maar daar is ook baie komedie, en konfron-tasie. Dis beslis nie net ’n gekerm in ’n bednie!”
Sandra sê die rol was vir haar moeilik,veral die voorbereiding.
“Voordat ek die rol kon verstaan, moes eksoos my karakter ook vir alles totsiens konsê. Een aand het dit my heeltemal oorval. Ekwas so ontsteld, want ek moes alles kon groeten dan weer op ’n punt van vrede kom.
“’n Mens kan jou amper nie daarin indink
nie om ’n keuse vir genadedood te maak.Mense hoop maar altyd op ’n wonderwerk,vir ’n uitkomkans,” mymer sy.
Vir Ewig en Altyd het staande ovasies bydie KKNK, waar dit geopen het, gekry.
“Dis altyd fantasties as mense opstaan. Byhierdie stuk het baie mense ook agternalank bly sit. Hulle was diep geraak. Genade-dood is ’n onderwerp wat in almal se onder-bewussyn broei. Ons wonder of ons dit be-hoort te doen, of dit wettig moet wees.”
Self glo sy ’n mens behoort die keuse te hêtot genadedood. “As ek dit vir my honde, watek die liefste op aarde het, kan doen, behoortons tog ook die keuse te hê.”
Sandra sê mense moet die stuk gaan sien.“Dit vra ernstige vrae en is ’n baie delikate,
baie mooi stuk en is toeganklik – ’n menshoef nie uit te figure wat aangaan nie.”
En waarmee is Sandra Prinsloo nog besigas sy nie op die verhoog is nie? “Ek’s baieselde nié op die verhoog nie!” lag sy. Tansspeel sy ook in Oskar en die pienk tannie,Wie’s bang vir Virginia Woolf? en Die Naai-masjien. Tussendeur werk sy bietjie in dietuin, gaan stap met die honde, gesels metvriende, lees, “maar dit gebeur maar min!”.Sy beplan om in Junie in Italië te toer en la-ter vanjaar in Rusland. Sy bly in Kalkbaai.
V Vir Ewig en Altyd is van 13 Mei in dieBellville-stadskouburg op die planke. Daar’sook vertonings op 16, 21, 23 en 24 Mei vanaf19:45 en twee middagvertonings op 18 en 25Mei vanaf 16:00. Bespreek by Computicket.

Local lad eyes Olympics

STEHAN SCHOEMAN
Rocco vanRooyen (21) is on the right pathto becoming one of the greatest javelinthrowers this country has ever produ-
ced.This lad fromKuils River,who is amember
at the Tygerberg Athletics Club, has his eyesfirmly set on the world stage.At the end of last month while competing
in theWestern Province Top 10 club competi-tion at the Bellville Velodrome, he recordedhis personal best throw of 80.10m.Keeping in mind that most javelin thro-
wers reach their peak at 28, Rocco, at the ageof 21, has so much scope and time to achievegreatness that the sky is the limit for this ta-lented youngster.For now, competing in the 19thAfrica Seni-
or Championships in Morocco from 10 to 14August is top priority. There is also a chancehe may compete in the Commonwealth Ga-mes which is to be held in Glasgow, Scotlandfrom 23 July to 3 August.
Morocco for Rocco“I am really looking forward to competing
in Morocco. If I can do well there, I have achance of being selected to compete in the In-tercontinental Cup amonth later, which is al-so in Morocco.“If I can accomplish that, it will be a huge
honour to represent Africa against the othercontinents,” said Rocco confidently.If all goes according to plan, Roccowill first
compete inGermanyor Japan in July againststrong opposition which will serve as a per-
fect platform for the Morocco showdown.“I ambasically awaiting confirmation for
eitherGermanyor Japan.Eitherway itwillbe great to compete just before Morocco.”When it comes to coaching, Rocco is wor-
kingwith one of themost respected coachesin the world, Kari Ihalainen, who was thehead coach of javelin in Finland a few yearsago. “ImetKari a fewyears ago.He realisedmy talent and invited me over for twomonths last year for intensive training. So-metimes I can be all over the showwith mythrows, but Kari and I are working on mytechnique and back here I am working onmy own with a lot of drills. Things are co-ming together nicely now,” he said.
Niggling injuries“As with any sport I struggle with one or
two niggling injuries but it’s nothing seri-ous. I do a lot of gymwork, especially in theoff-season, and when I prepare for competi-tion my preparation involves a lot of run-ning, work on the medicine ball and lightgym work.”His goals for the future are set - to travel
and compete in asmany countries as possi-ble.“Competing in the Olympic Games will
be the ultimate, and I believe I can reachthe 90m plus mark. It will be great to sayit is my job to be a professional athlete.“God gave me this talent, and it’s my res-
ponsibility to develop myself to be the bestof my abilities.”V To assist Rocco financially to achieve his goalscontact him on 072 536 1342.
