T
he police in Bothasig believe burglars
responded to an ad on a website when
they broke into a house in Richwood.
The owner of thehouse advertised a televi-
sion set online and it is believed this brought
the burglars to his door. The good news is
the perpetrators were arrested.
According to police spokesperson War-
rant Officer Jacques Mostert, Warrant Offi-
cer Hendrik Taljaard was informed by his
colleagues that a
house robbery had
occurred in Rich-
wood.
Information re-
ceived from the com-
plainant indicated
that two vehicles had
been used during the
crime a silver Toyo-
ta Avanza and a
white Volkswagen
Caddybakkie.Anoth-
er officer informed
Taljaard that he had actually seen these two
vehicles travelling in the direction of Plat-
tekloof while responding to the complaint,
but did not have a description at that time.
The officer said the bakkiewasbeingpushed
by a male wearing a white cap and T-shirt,
says Mostert.
Taljaard observed Plattekloof Road and
noticed a silver Avanza going past him.
In the distance he saw a white bakkie be-
ing pushed by a person fitting the same de-
scription. As he approached the vehicle it
started and drove in the direction of Parow.
Taljaard followed the vehicle while waiting
for backup. An officer from Goodwood as-
sisted, the vehicle was pulled over and Tal-
jaard proceeded to interview the occupants
of the vehicle. The one occupant fitted the
description given by the complainant and
while searching the vehicle, he found items
similar to those taken during the robbery,
according to Mostert.
The two suspects, males aged 30 and 29
were arrested and detained. Police also
seized the Volkswagen Caddy bakkie they
were using.
Nelis Franken,
head of detectives,
urged people not to
invite buyers to
come to their houses
when they are selling
goods online.
Where possible
rather pick a safe
place to conduct the
deal, he suggests.
Lieutenant Colo-
nel Patrick Jacobs
says he is very proud
of the good work done by the members, but
that thegooddescriptionby the complainant
also enabled the police to make arrests.
I suggest community members raise
their level of awareness during the festive
season and care about each other. We found
that burglaries, theft out of motor vehicles
aswell as theft ofmotor vehicles have shown
an increase. When communitymembers see
suspicious activities, they must call the po-
lice immediately as potential shoppers
could be stopped before committing a
crime, says Jacobs.

Leonardo Ganci, a well-known resident in
the northern suburbs, sadly passed away on
Sunday this past weekend.
Ganci died at the age of 85. Described as
a much loved man in the community, Ganci
celebrated his birthday three weeks ago on
26 November. This was the first time in 18
years the entire family sat together at a ta-
ble, daughter Nina Ganci say.
Ganci was a very prominent businessman
in the northern suburbs and known for the
houses he built in the 1970s to 1990s. He
helped develop Durbanville, Monte Vista,
Table View, Edgemead and Bothasig.
In fact, every road in Monte Vista has a
house built by him, Nina says.
He passed away peacefully in the presence
of his wife, children and grandchildren.
Ganciwill be laid to rest tomorrow,Thurs-
day 17 December at the Immaculate Concep-
tion Catholic Church in Parow, at 14:00.

D
ie stoep van n Bostonse prokureurs-
firma word as toilet gebruik deur n
groep straatbewoners wat op die sy-
paadjie voor die Bellville-polisiekantoor
slaap.
George Barkhuizen, met sy praktyk in
Clevelandstraat n dwarsstraatjie vanuit
Voortrekkerweg, skuins oorkant die poli-
siekantoor is raadop.
EnmetTygerBurger se besoek is dit dui-
delik hoekom: Die erge stank in en om hul
kantore tref n mens soos n klam waslap.
Barkhuizen s die probleembegin bydie
straatbewoners wat snags hul intrek voor
die polisiekantoor neem. Daar is geen toi-
letgeriewe vir diegene nie, hoewel hulle
die geriewe by die polisiekantoor kan be-
nut.
Parkeerplekke
Barkhuizen vertel: Vandat die parkeer-
plekke in die middestad toegemaak is, sy-
pel die mense deur na die woonbuurte.
Daar is mense wat in stegies slaap, selfs
in vullisdrommewat hulle platgooi hulle
is beskut teen die wind en ren.
Die oplossing wat deur die Boston-
buurtwag en die polisie beraam is, is om
di mense voor die polisiekantoor te laat
slaap.
Sowat vierweke geledewas daarnet so-
wat vyf of ses of sewe mense. Maar nou is
daar tussen 15 en 20, en tot 50 oor die afge-
lope maand wat daar slaap, s hy. Die
probleem is dat die polisie se ablusiegerie-
we slegs deur toegangsbeheer toeganklik
is. Barkhuizen se kantore is n klipgooitjie
van hul slaapplek, en daar is n baie gerief-
like muurtjie waaragter die mense hul be-
sigheid kan doen. My alarmmaatskappy
bel my gereeld in die nag as die sensors af-
gaan. Die afgelope Sondagnag het daar
drie sensors afgegaan, s hy. Barkhuizen
het ook n spuitstelselmet sensors teen die
dak buite aangebring: Dit spuit enigie-
mand nat wat teen ons mure wil urineer.
Dit help, maar die ouens gebruik dit ook
om te stort, s hy. Omdat die watermeter
binne hul bereik sit, draai hulle selfs di
ook toe as die spuitery te veel pla.
Maar dis die gesig wat hom en sy kolle-
gas elke oggend begroet, wat Barkhuizen
reeds twee klinte gekos het. Ons gooi
Jeyes Fluid en maak skoon, maar elke
oggend is dit dieselfde storie. Barkhuizen
het al herhaaldelik by die plaaslike stads-
verbeteringsdistrik, die VRCID, gekla.
Maar Derek Bock, operasionele hoof, s
planne om di probleem die hoof te bied,
is nog in wording. Die VRCID is bewus
van die probleem en dis om di rede dat
ons druk op die Stad probeer plaas om n
sogenaamde veilige spasie vir hierdie
mense te skep om te slaap. Dit sal n veilige
plek wees waar hulle kan slaap n hul
ablusie doen.DieVRCIDkrynoudie skuld
van sy belastingbetalers om teenmense op
te tree wat op hul private eiendom slaap.
Dit is ons standpunt dat dit die Stad se
taak is om hierdie brandpunt aan te
spreek. Die VRCID en Groter Tygerberg-
vennootskap kan nie vennootskappe aan-
trek as ons sulke situasies het nie.
Solankdiemense op sy drumpel slaap,
meen die Bellville-polisiehoof, brig. Andre
vanDyk, dat hul veiligheid eerstens n pri-
oriteit is. Haweloses is n sosiaal-maat-
skaplike aangeleentheid wat deur die rele-
vante staatsdepartemente, VRCID en die
Stadhanteermoetword.Dit isni npolisi-
eringsaangeleentheid nie.
Die polisie het ook n verantwoordelik-
heid om hawelose mense teen misdaad te
beskerm. Mense wat in die omgewing van
die polisiekantoor slaap omdat dit aanhul-
le n mate van veiligheid bied, sal nie deur
die polisie verjaag word nie. n Dringende
beroep word op die Stad gedoen om n sin-
volle oplossing vir die probleem te vind.
Haweloses het toegang tot die amblusiege-
riewe by die polisiekantoor en ander open-
bare geriewe.
Van Dyk s urinering in die publiek en
diesulke oortredings sal die nodige aandag
van die sigbare polisiringskomponent
kry. Die klagtes van Beirowski Proku-
reurs geniet aandag.
Vrotkol
J.P. Smith, burgemeesterskomiteelid
vir veiligheid en sekuriteit van die Stad,
s di gebied word as n vrotkol beskou.
Die gebied onder bespreking is n vrot-
kol en geniet die voortdurende aandag van
ons wetstoepassingseenheid in terme van
dieStad se ordonnansie oor strate, openba-
re plekke en die voorkoming van geraas-
las. Wetstoepassing patrolleer gereeld in
di area, maar die straatbewoners keer
eenvoudig terug na die gebied n hul ver-
wydering, en noem dat hul die toestem-
ming van die polisie het om daar te wees,
s Smith. Dtmaak onswerk soveelmoei-
liker en is baie frustrerend.
Smith se eweknie in die portefeulje vir
maatskaplike ontwikkeling, Suzette Lit-
tle, s hoewel hulle die brigadier en buurt-
wag se inisiatief salueer, is die oplossing
wat hul bedink het kortsigtig.
Dit het die onbedoelde uitwerking dat
n plaaslike onderneming die kruis daar-
van moet dra, soos beskryf is, s sy.
Daar is n hele aantal potensile oplos-
sings. Die polisie kan toelaat dat die groep
op sy perseel slaap en sy ablusiefasiliteite
binne die polisiekantoor gebruik.
Alternatiewelik kan die polisie mobie-
le toiletfasiliteite op sy perseel oprig, aan-
gesien dit private eiendom is, s Little.
Sy s die ideaal is egter om di mense
na plaaslike herberge te verwys waar hul-
le van di ablusiegeriewe gebruik kan
maak, n boonop veilig sal wees.
Op medium- tot langtermyn is daar eg-
ter n meer volhoubare oplossing nodig.

W
hen Tygerberg Hospital was
built, it was never designed
to treat the type of cases and
accommodate the patient load which the
hospital is experiencing now, says Lati-
cia Pienaar, spokesperson for this hospi-
tal.
This week, more people spoke up about
long hours they had to wait in the trauma
unit before they were treated for injuries.
TygerBurger reported on a man that had
to wait 60 hours to be seen by a specialist
there last week.
However, no patient is turned away at
any public health facility without receiv-
ing medical assistance, says Pienaar.
She says the trauma unit treats up to
2000 patients per month, but there are on-
ly three doctors and six nurses per shift,
and two shifts every 24 hours.
Wedonot havebeds in the traumaunit
as it is regarded as an outpatient activity.
We make use of trolleys to assess the pa-
tients on.Wehavea smallwardwhich can
house 10 patients for overnight purposes.
Depending on the type of injury some pa-
tients will be discharged immediately but
in the event of special examinations,
some patients will require radiology
scans and will undergo special investiga-
tions.
She says the unit is particularly full
over weekends, but this is not just isolat-
ed to Tygerberg Hospital as all hospitals
in the Cape Metro experience the same
pressures.
She says feasibility studies are being fi-
nalised for the new Tygerberg Hospital.
According to the health minister of the
Western Cape, Dr Nomafrench Mbombo,
emergency centres (ECs) face the brunt of
the pressure when dealing withmotor ve-
hicle accidents and other trauma-related
incidents. They are built to perform their
core function, which is to render quick
and efficient emergency medical care,
and are staffed accordingly.
Mbombo says the current pressures at
Western Cape health facilities across the
service platform,not only athospitals and
emergency centres, are real.
When less-than-
urgent cases flood
the ECs, it causes a
reduction in effi-
ciency of both the
emergency service
and the routine
medical care pro-
vided, simply be-
cause the facility is
not built to deal op-
timally with non-
emergency cases.
Clients with non-
urgent and non-life
threatening inju-
ries or illnesses can
visit their local primary health care
(PHC) facility such as a 24-hour communi-
ty health centre (CHC) or clinic where
they can been assisted much quicker,
makingmore efficient use of the system,
she says.
She adds one reason for thosewith inju-
ries not attending the PHC facilities could
be the perception that using anEC facility
results in faster turn-around-times for pa-
tients, when often the opposite is the case.
We urge people to find out the details
of their nearest health facility most ap-
propriate for their needs. Our facilities
are overburdened and because of the tri-
age system it is the clients with the non-
life threatening state that end up waiting
for long hours because the patient whose
life is at risk, automatically gets treated
immediately. Emergency centres are for
emergencies, Mbombo says.
The clients coming through the doors
of the ECs are a reflection of the burden
of disease within the larger population,
she says, such as inter-personal violence,
road traffic accidents, risk factors for
chronic diseases
such as smoking,
alcohol abuse,
lack of exercise
and unhealthy
diets, substance
abuse, lack of
proper housing
and overcrowd-
ing.
There is al-
ways a tensionbe-
tween the escalat-
ing demand for
services and the
available resour-
ces. Shortage of
beds is always relative to the demands on
the service. To equip ECs to function opti-
mally the department has in the past few
years systematically improved the infra-
structure within ECs New Somerset
Hospital, Karl BremerHospital, Khayelit-
sha Hospital and the new Mitchells Plain
Hospital are cases in point. Emergency
medicine specialists have been perma-
nently placed in emergency centres to
strengthen clinical governance and quali-
ty of care. The challenge is not shortages
of medical equipment, but shortages of
specialist doctors and nurses, Mbombo
says.
Just 3 doctors per 2000
When lessthanur
gent cases flood the
ECs, it causes a re
duction in efficiency
of both the emer
gency service and
the routinemedical
care provided.

azzart, one of Africas oldest contem-
porarydance companies, presented an
energetic and impressive production
with local trainees at the Artscape Arena
from 10 to 12 December.
The group of 17 dancers, who hail from
areas such as Goodwood, Eerste River,
Belhar, Heideveld and Gugulethu, started
their training in July under Sifiso Kwey-
ama, artistic director for Jazzart Dance
Theatre.
Jazzart is about exposing our trainees
to a diversity of teachers, choreographers
and dance styles so they can learn tomove
easily from popular to traditional dance
and find African contemporary move-
ments in music, art and everyday life,
says Kweyama.
The production, called Time, was
packed with a two-hour long dance pro-
gramme with elements of hip-hop, tap
dance, ballet and theatre.
2015 marked the sixth intake of the
training programme which is artistically
crafted to celebrate this strength of the
youth with the youth and for the youth.
Its the right time for choreographers
to collaborate so that we can work togeth-
er to empower our youth in the arts. We
want our trainees to understand where
they come from and how they got their
freedom, so that theydonot take their free-
dom for granted, says Kweyama.

The City of Cape Town says it is upping
its fight against contractors who sell City
issued refuse bags.
Hawkers have been selling the bags at
intersections all over the northern sub-
urbs, especially Bellville, Goodwood and
Parow. The bags are marked as not for
sale but this is no deterrent.
According to Ernest Sonnenberg, May-
co member for utility services, the City
carries out ongoing investigations into
this each time such matters are reported.
Various people have been arrested in this
regard and cases are ongoing. The depart-
ment of solidwastemanagement: loss con-
trol branch regularly undertakes sting op-
erations in efforts to eradicate this prob-
lem, says Sonnenberg.
He says theCity is experiencing a reduc-
tion in cases of this kind. The tenders
awarded to the contractors who use the
blue bags (most of which are the ones
found for sale) nowcarryavery stiff penal-
ty per bag to the contractor should his or
her bags be found for sale, thus enforcing
better controls. We have noticed a reduc-
tion in the numbers of bags for sale since
the change. Be assured that the City con-
tinues to give this matter ongoing atten-
tion so as to eradicate the theft of its bags,
according to Sonnenberg.

n
Dramatiese jaagtog het op 11 De-
sember oor middagete in Bellville
en Parow-Noord plaasgevind toe die
polisie n wit Polo Playa sonder nommer-
plate probeer vastrek het.
Volgens kapt. Fienie Nimb van die Bell-
ville-polisie het die voertuig met drie mans
daarin die polisie se aandag in Oakdale ge-
trek, vanwaar dit deur hulle agtervolg is.
Ons vermoed hulle wou by n huis in-
breek. Ons het die voertuig tot op die N1 ge-
jaag, waar hy in n stadium n U-draai teen
die verkeer gemaak het. Ons het hom daar
verloor. Dat iemandnie in die proses veron-
geluk het nie, is n wonderwerk, s sy.
Die Parow-polisie het dele van Parow-
Noord afgesper, n padblokkade in McInty-
restraat opgerig en nagenoeg 20 ondersteu-
nende polisievoertuie, asook n polisieheli-
kopter, het hulle na die omgewing gehaas
om na die voertuig te soek. Di het spoor-
loos verdwyn.
Dit is heeltemal moontlik dat die voer-
tuig in nmotorhuis inParow ingetrekhet,
s Zander van Rooyen van die Parow-GPF,
wat ook in Parow-Noord woon.
Verledeweek is nwit Golfmet driemans
en n vrou agter die stuur op kringtelevisie
opgeneem toe hulle met n koevoet by n
huis in Thealstraat, Parow-Noord inge-
breek het. Op 10 Desember het vier mans
in n blou Polo met getinte vensters in Nel-
sonstraat, Goodwood probeer inbreek.
Hulle het diemotorhuisdeur oopforseer,
my man se bakkie uitgestoot en blykbaar
die tracker gesien en dit toe gelos.
Daarna het hulle die veiligheidshek van
die huis oopgebreek. Hulle is gesteur deur
my buurman en toe spring almal in die kar
en jaagweg, skryf die inwonervandihuis
op Facebook.
Op 10 Desember was daar nog n inbraak
in Caledonstraat, Goodwood.

S
y is die oudste inwoner van Ruyter-
wacht, maar sy maak dit duidelik dat
sy n nooi van die Weskus is.
Tannie Anna Pienaar word op 26 Desem-
ber n volle 100 jaar oud. Sy is op Vreden-
burg gebore en het op 18-jarige ouderdom
Kaap toe gekom om werk te kom soek.
Die liefde het haar egter tot in die Kaap
gevolg. Ek is eintlik n plaasmeisie. My
man was in dieselfde skool as ek en ons het
altyd saam gestap. Toe ekKaap toe kom, het
hy ook agterna gekom en ons het mekaar
weer ontmoet. Ons is op 20 Junie 1936 ge-
troud en drie kinders is uit ons huwelik ge-
bore, s tannie Annamet heimwee in haar
in stem. Nicholaas Pienaar, haarman, is op
1 Augustus 1995 oorlede.
Tannie Anna wil nie daarop aanspraak
maak dat sy die geheim vir ewige jeug ont-
dekhet nie. Daar is nie geheime resepte vir
hoekom ek so oud geword het nie. Nee, ek
kan nie vir iemand s doen dit of doen dat
en jy gaan so oud word nie, want ek weet
nie. Al wat ek kan s is, ek eet soos n plaas-
nooi moet eet en vertrou maar op die Here
se genade, s sy.
Tannie Anna is nou baie betrokke by die
sentrum vir bejaardes in Ruyterwacht. Sy
sing selfs nog in die koor.
Dit blyk of goeie ouderdom in die gene is,
want al drie haar kinders is reeds in hul se-
wentigs. Elizabeth, by wie tannie Anna
woon, is 70, terwyl die seuns, Mauritz en
Hannes, onderskeidelik 76 en 72 is.
Elizabeth s hulle is dankbaar dat die He-
re hul ma so lank gespaar het. Dit is voor-
waar n sening om haar so lank by ons te
h. Die Here se genade was oor die jare vir
haar genoeg, s Elizabeth.

n Rok met n storie, wat boonop oor drie
geslagte heen strek. Dt is die oulike ver-
haaltjie wat verlede week byTygerBurger
aangekom het.
Dr. Dirk Brand van Durbanville vertel
die storie agter die wit rokkie waarin drie
geslagte van sterk en slim vroue hul graad
gevang het.
Eerswasdit die beurt vanBeatieSchaap
in 1954 toe sy aan die Universiteit Stellen-
bosch (US) haar B.Com. verwerf het. Des-
tyds die enigste vrou in haar klasgroep,
vertel Dirk.
In 1986 het Beatie se dogter, Christel
Schaap, aan die destydse RAU ook haar
B.Com.-graad verwerf, en op 8 Desember
vanjaar het Christel se dogter, Bea-Mari
Brand, n B-graad in die spraaktaal- en ge-
hoorterapie aan die US verwerf.
Ouma (Beatie) se wens was dat haar
kleindogter die rok by die gradeplegtig-
heid dra. Die rok moes egter tred hou met
die tye en die vaardige hande van Christel
het dit nommerpas virBea-Mari gemaak,
vertel Dirk. Dit was n trotse oomblik toe
Bea-Mari haar graad op Stellenbosch ont-
vang het. Volgende jaar gaan sy haar ge-
meenskapsdiens op Calvinia verrig en
daar haar vaardighede as spraakterapeut
verder ontwikkel.
Drie geslagte dra di rok
Die drie geslagte van Brands en Schaape wat di rok na hul gradeplegtigheid gedra het, is

hristmas came early to members of
Bothasig police when Susan Teller-
man, assisted by her friend Ina Fink,
popped in at the station. She wasnt there
to lay a complaint however, but to thank the
officers for their tireless work in keeping
the community safe.
She arrived with an array of food, which
catered to everyones palate.
According to Tellerman this was her way
of thanking the local police station for the
hard work they had put in during the year.
With all the members gathered around her,
she thanked the members for their hard
work and the effort they put in to try and
keep Bothasig a safe place for all.
The station commander, LieutenantColo-
nel Patrick Jacobs, thanked Tellerman on
behalf of the station for the fantastic ges-
ture. He mentioned that it always lifts the
spirit of members when community mem-
bers show their gratitude.

he implementation of level 2 water re-
strictions was approved at the City of
Cape Towns final council meeting of
the year. The committee approved the step-
up to level 2 water restrictions after an
amendment wasmade to cases pertaining to
alternative water source users.
The amendment states that when water-
ing gardens, parks and open spaces with al-
ternative water sources (rainwater harvest-
ing, greywater reuse, treated effluentwater,
well points and bore-holes) residents are en-
couraged to do so only before 09:00 or after
18:00 on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Satur-
days, and to display the appropriate signage
which must be clearly visible from a public
thoroughfare. Usersmust be registeredwith
the City in order to do so.
Thiswas in response to customerswho ex-
pressed dissatisfaction with the stringent
measures being applied to those who have
already taken steps to use alternative water
sources in the interests of reducing their
consumption.
Level 2 restrictions 20% saving
AsCapeTown is situated in awater-scarce
region, the City imposes level 1 restrictions
(10% water savings) at all times. Because
dam levels are lower than the norm for this
time of year, it was proposed that the City
implement level 2 restrictions (20% savings)
to preserve the long-term sustainability of
the resource.
Customers should note that from 1 Janu-
ary 2016 they will be charged according to
a tariff designed to be revenue neutral when
applied to the 10%reduced consumption lev-
els. In other words, if the customer reduces
their consumption by 10%, their bill should
remain at a similar rand value. Indigent cus-
tomers free allocation will not be affected,
norwill the free first 6 kl amonth for all resi-
dents.
For example, if a resident normally uses
24 kl of water every month at a cost of
R294.62, and they reduce consumption by
10%, they will continue to receive a bill for
a similar amount. However, if implementa-
tion of the level 2 tariff is passed by Council,
24 kl will cost them R344,75, says Ernest
Sonnenberg, Mayco member for utility ser-
vices.
Furthermore, if passed by Council, resi-
dents will have to abide by the following,
more stringent regulations:
.Nowatering (e.g. using buckets) of a gar-
den, sports field, or other grassed area using
potable water between 09:00 and 18:00
. No watering (e.g. using buckets) will be
permitted within 24 hours of rainfall that
provides adequate saturation. Facilities/
customersmaking use of bore-holes or other
alternative sources are not exempt
. Irrigation (e.g. hose pipe/sprinklers) is
only to take place on Tuesdays, Thursdays
and Saturdays during approved hours, and
for no longer than an hour in total. Facili-
ties/customers making use of bore-holes or
other alternative sources are not exempt
. If alternativewater sources are utilised,
customers should ensure that they display
signage to this effect clearly visible from a
public thoroughfare
.Where a hosepipe is used for irrigation,
it must have a controlling device attached
at the end
.Nowashing or hosing down of hard-sur-
faced or paved areas with potable (drinking
water from tap) water
. A hosepipe used for washing vehicles
must be fittedwith an automatic self-closing
device
. Automatic top-up systems for swim-
ming pools and garden ponds are not al-
lowed. Furthermore, the use of a pool cover
is recommended
. Commercial car-wash industries must
comply with industry best practice norms.
Informal car washes must use buckets rath-
er than hosepipes
.Wash basins in public facilities must be
fitted with demand-type taps
. Showers provided at public facilities
must be fitted with demand-type valves
. Potable water may not be used to damp-
en sand or other building material to pre-
vent thesematerials from being blown away
. Standpipe draw-off taps must be of a
height of at least 450 mm, measured above
ground level
. The maximum flow rate from any tap
installed at a hand basin may not exceed six
litres per minute
. The maximum flow rate of any shower-
head may not exceed 10 litres per minute
.Water closet cisternsmay not exceed 9,5
litres in capacity
. Automatic flushing cisterns or tipping
tanks shall not be used for flushing a urinal
. All automatic flushing cisterns fitted to
urinals must be replaced with manually op-
erated systems, or non-manual apparatus
that only flushes after each use
. Terminal water fittings (taps and out-
lets) installed outside any buildings, other
than residential buildings, must incorpo-
rate a self-closing device or have a remova-
ble handle for operating purposes or be capa-
ble of being locked to prevent unauthorised
use, or be of a demand type that limits water
use for each operation
.Water audits must be undertaken annu-
ally by major water users (more than 10 000
kl a month), but excluding where these are
multiple dwelling units
. No person may allow water used as a
heat-exchangemedium in any equipment or
plant and supplied fromawater installation,
to run continuously to waste except for
maintaining a prescribed level of total dis-
solved solids in a recirculating plant
.Ornamental water features may only be
operated if the water is recycled.
In addition, the City would like to inform
residents that changes to the bulk water dis-
tribution system could intermittently im-
pact onwater pressure, clarity or taste with-
in some areas of the northern and central
suburbs of the city. These changes became
necessary due to the low level of theVolvlei
Dam.
Water might have a different taste
Resultant flow changes in some of the wa-
ter pipelines may temporarily cause cloudi-
ness or a slight discolouration in the water.
Residents with sensitive palates may also
notice a slight change in the taste of their
water as it will now be coming from a differ-
ent mix of sources.
Water consumers in several parts of the
city may have also experienced an earthy
taste and odour to their drinking water
caused by low levels of Geosmin in dam wa-
ters. We would like to reassure residents
that this is a naturally occurring compound
and is neither toxic nor harmful to health.
Water quality is monitored continuously
and all water supplied will be entirely safe
for human consumption, Sonneberg says.
Headds that theCity isworkingproactive-
ly to manage available water resources and
reduce the effects of geosmin in the source
waters concentrations of which are antici-
pated to increase with lower dam levels and
hot, windy conditions.
The City would like to remind residents
that these are not punitive measures, but
rather the City taking steps to protect our
water supplies and guard against a full-
blown crisis, as has been the case in other
municipalities, Sonnenberg says.

I was overjoyed when I re-
ceived a phone call from
Zayaan of TygerBurger to let
me know that I was one of the
ten lucky winners of double
tickets to the Hot Summer
Groove concert, which was
held at the Grand Arena,
Grand West on Saturday 5
December.
Wow, what a show, and what
a wonderful line-up of talented
artists. One forgets just how
many world class artists we
have in South Africa.
Although we have lived in
the Cape for many years, and
we have been to Grand West
on numerous occasions, we
had never been to a show at
the Arena, so this was a first
for us, and a real treat.
As always Soli Philander
with his wonderful sense of
humour kept the audience in
fits of laughter, as did Emo
Adams with his body moves. I
sometimes think that he has to
be double jointed to move the
way that he does on
stage.Steyn and the Steyners
started off the show, and the
Steyners Band also backed
Andr Venter (formerly with
Boy Band Romanz). We thor-
oughly enjoyed listening to
Andr singing, and him paying
tribute to both Taliep Pietersen
and Zayn Adams. The crowd
gave Andr a standing ovation
at the end of his performance.
Then the Rockets, whom we
have never seen, appeared on
stage and got the audience
swinging, livening up the
entire show as well as paying
tribute to Ricardo who had
passed away during that week.
As Soli said, he always
leaves the best for last, which
was so true we love the
music of Dr. Victor and the
Rasta Rebels, who also rocked,
and got the audience on their
feet.
The concert finished after
midnight, and we decided to
have a quick bite to eat with a
cup of coffee to allow the

On Saturday 14 November at
about 12 midday a group of us
walked on the pavement in
Beach Road, Blaauwberg. A

both fell. He grabbed his

I still had to walk back to my

LEWENSKIEKIE
Neem kennis
vanmag van
sosialemedia
Die mag van sosiale media kan deesdae
nie meer onderskat word nie.
n Goeie voorbeeld hiervan was die
debakel rondom die minister van finan-
sies van die afgelope klompie dae. Nog
selde voorheen selfs nog meer as tydens
die Oscar Pistorius-hofsaak het die
twiete in Suid-Afrika s gefluit en die
Facebook-boodskappe s gevlieg oor net
n onderwerp.
Binne n japtrap was daar talle #Zuma-
MustFall-veldtogte op sosiale mediaplat-
forms van stapel gestuur wat deur
derduisende ondertekenaars gesteun is.
En hoewel die president uiteindelik tot
ander insigte gebring is deur onder meer
n paar nugtere ANC-kamerade en
bekommerde sakelui om sy ondeurdagte
Van Rooyen-aanstelling ongedaan te maak
en nadat die randwaarde soos n ton
stene na benede getuimel het moes die
heftige reaksie op sosiale media hom ook
goed skrikgemaak het. Hierdie was nie
net nog n Nkandla-grappie wat hy met sy
kenmerkende hoonlaggie tydens vraetyd
in die parlement onder die tafel kon vee
nie. Hierdie was n ongekende en felle
teenkanting van derduisende briesende
en ontnugterde burgers.
Waar die tradisionele media gewoonlik
net ruimte/tyd het om leiers van instan-
sies en gemeenskappe se mening oor n
brandende kwessie te gee, het miljoene
landsburgers nou n mondstuk via die
sosiale mediaplatform gekry om openbare
mening te weerspiel. En di mondstuk
van die massa het onteenseglik bewys dat
politici dit nie kan geringskat nie.

eet Lakheni, a Grade 9 learner
from Mthatha, who, at the age of
15 came home from school one
day to the news that his father had sud-
denly passed away.
His world is turned upside down and
being the eldest of three children, Lakhe-
ni knew that he was now considered to
be theman of the house. Hismother nev-
er had a formal job and his siblings were
still in primary school. Without any
warning, this child goes from having the
challenge of passingGrade 9 to taking re-
sponsibility for helping his mother put
food on the table.
Under the guidance of the African
Scholars Fund (ASF), he registered at a
public FET College for NCV level 2 in
electrical infrastructure construction.
Working, studying
Three years later, despite having to
work over weekends, Lakheni complet-
ed his NCV level 4 and is now 18 years
old.
He courageously decided to leave
Mthatha for Port Elizabeth and buckled
down for a further 18months to complete
hisN4 toN6.Thishedid successfully and
soon thereafter found himself gainfully
employed.
When I arrived at PE College, my life
was already sorted by the ASF from
registration tuition fees, books and
transport, he says. All I had to do was
to present the acceptance letter I re-
ceived from the ASF so I could complete-
ly focus and concentrate onmy studies.
Amazing opportunity
He says that when the ASF team visit-
ed the college to present a student sup-
port workshop at the beginning of the
year, it was an amazing opportunity to
finally have met them after supporting
him for the rest of his school career right
through college.
The ASF, through awards and gui-
dance assists promising young school-
children fromdesperately poor homes to
complete their secondary (Grades 8 to 12)
or technical vocational education train-
ing college education. Lakheni is an ex-
ample of the kind of bursar thatASFwel-
comes into their family.
They operate within the Free State,
Western, Eastern and Northern Cape.
The R1 000 per year they make available
to the learners they support might not
seem like much, but it affords them the
opportunity to complete their basic edu-
cation with a sense of dignity.

manent smell of braaivleis in the air at the
V&A Waterfront when Richard Knoetze of
Braaipolar will be attempting to beat the
Guinness World Record for the longest
timed braai marathon unaided by a single
person.
Richard will be attempting to braai for
120 hours or five days non-stop in order to
write this record behind his name.
In another world record attempt, Pieter
van Dalen and BraaiBoy will be attempting
the four-day team challenge and braai for
96 hours straight.
All food cookedduring the record attempt
will be sold to raise funds for bipolar aware-
ness in South Africa, something Richard is
extremely passionate about.
The eventwill also feature celebrity chefs
and braai masters from around the prov-
ince, live entertainment by musicians and
comedians, as well as a braai expo.
Several braai demonstrations will be
held during the world record attempt and
enthusiasts will learn some clever braai
tricks and recipes.

Limit your and childrens tech time
Howmuch time should a child spend in front
of a screen? This is a question asked not just
by worried parents, but also psychologists,
health organisations and even govern-
ments.
Wanting our children to be tech-savvy is
understandable, and the need to keep them
entertained will also make sense to many a
parent. But parents should alsoweighup the
risks associated with children having too
much screen time.
While television, interactive video games
and the Internet can be excellent sources of
education and entertainment for children,
toomuch screen time can lead to bad health,
obesity and behaviourial problems.
TV and other tech gadgets are easy baby-
sitters, says primary school principal at
Riverside College, Lynne Arbuckle.
This is especially tempting during the
school holidays when there is somuchmore
free time and boredom inevitably sets in.
A2012 report onmedia consumption in the
UK estimated that the average three to four-
year-old spends three hours a day in front
of a screen. This rises to four hours for ages
five to seven, 4.5 hours by ages eight to 11
and 6.5 hours for teenagers.
Technology is not going to go away; par-
ents need to manage and control their chil-
drens consumption and use, says Arbuck-
le. The reality is that most kids can use a
smartphone before they have learned how to
write their name down or tie their shoes.
Tech time needs to be especially well man-
aged during the holidays, with experts
strongly suggesting that it should not inter-
fere with traditional playtime. Limits on the
amount of time spent playing on gadgets and
tech free zones (such as no iPad during din-
ner time) should be enforced by parents,
who need to respect the same rules imposed
on their children (that call can wait).
Good old-fashioned parenting comes into
play, says Arbuckle.
Impose rules about the amount of time a
week your children are allowed to spend on
their electronic devices. Go on family out-
ings and spend quality time with your chil-
dren. As a parent, setting personal limits on
your own technology use is a very good
start.
