arah Hector (33) word al n week lank
vermis tog is haar gesin hoopvol dat
sy veilig na hulle sal terugkeer.
n Hoopvolle familielid, Brendan Hector,
die vermiste Zarah se broer, het vandees-
week aan TygerBurger vertel dat almal fa-
milie, vriende, die gemeenskap en polisie
alles in hul vermo doen om haar te vind.
Zarah, n ma van n tienermeisie, is verle-
de Woensdag as vermis aangemeld nadat sy
die dag vantevore haar werkplek in Kuilsri-
vier, die Oostenberg Lodge, verlaat het,
maar nie haar bestemming bereik het nie.
Sy sou haar krel in Blackheath besoek
het. Die voertuigwat sy bestuurhet, nBMW
Z3, is egter Donderdag verlate in Observato-
ry gevind, vertel Brendan.
Sy was op pad na haar krel om die voer-
tuig by hom af te laai. Iewers langs die pad
moes iets verkeerd geloop het, s hy.
Die voertuig staan tans by n vriend se
huis.
Volgens Brendan is die wiele, bande, bat-
tery en CD-laaier uit die voertuig gesteel.
Haar dogter stres. Dis traumaties vir
haar n vir ons gesin.
Ons hanteer dit nie goed nie; niemand
dink meer honderd persent nie, s hy.
Hy het die verdwyning en die uitwerking
daarvan op die gesin as n nagmerrie be-
skryf.
Dis die eerste keer dat so iets gebeur. Dis
nie in haar karakter om so iets te doen nie,
vertel hy. Brendan s alles is nou in die poli-
sie se hande oorgelaat.

DESIRE RORKE
@dezzierorke
L
ocal authorities are out to bring an
end to the scourge of drunkendriving
on roads in the northern suburbs.
A joint operation between the Citys
Law Enforcement and Traffic Services
saw 20 drunk drivers arrested during a
road block in Protea Heights in Bracken-
fell during the last week in February. And
this was only the first of many to come,
authorities revealed at a local subcouncil
meeting last week.
The roadblockwas set up ona relatively
busy Brackenfell Boulevard between
22:00 and 02:00 in the morning.
Only four hours and twenty drunk
drivers were arrested. It shows just how
bad the problem really is, said ward
councillor Marian Nieuwoudt after the
statistics were tabled.
Continuous monitoring needed
She is of the opinion that dozens more,
especially younger people returning from
their weekend parties, would have been
captured, if this particular road block had
continued until 04:00 in the morning.
Nieuwoudt commended the services for
this success but stressed the fact that con-
tinuousmonitoringwouldbenecessary to
bring the problem under control.
This was a good start and considering
the prevalence of licensed alcohol traders
in Brackenfell, I hope that such opera-
tions will continue on a regular basis in
the area.
Traffic principal Desr Benadie an-
swered in the affirmative saying that the
twodepartments had to combine their for-
ces in order to step up services in the area.
The traffic department in the northern
areas currently only has 12 traffic officers
with sometimes as little as two per shift
to cover the areas from Bellville to Kraai-
fontein.
I had to bring in officers on overtime
for operations like this one, but it worked
and we will keep up the effort. Combined
with the staff at Law Enforcement it
proved to be very successful and we will
thus continue to address this problem in
Brackenfell, in the months to come, she
said.
But how much is too much to drink be-
fore you drive?
According to information provided by
the Arrive Alive campaign, the legal limit
of 0.05g/100ml may be exceeded after only
two beers. One metric tot is 8.4g of ethyl
alcohol.
The average beer contains between 13
and 16 grams of ethyl alcohol and is equiv-
alent to a double brandy.
As far aswine is concerned, the percent-
age of alcohol indicated on the bottle, usu-
ally 10%, would imply 10 grams of alcohol
per 100ml of wine.
Varies from person to person
Factors such as volume, strength, type
of dilutant, type of meal, medication and
water content in the body may affect the
uptakeof alcohol, but this varies fromper-
son to person.
It is important to understand that alco-
hol affects the cognitive functions of the
intoxicated person. Driving is an action
that requires good multi-tasking with the
driver having to concentrate not only on
steering the vehicle, but also on road con-
ditions, other vehicles and pedestrians,
road signs and traffic lights, says a
spokesperson at Arrive Alive.
The basic guideline in South Africa is
that two drinks within one hour will put
you on or over the legal limit, so dont
drink more than this if you will be driv-
ing.
Clampdown on drunk
drivers set to continue
A group of teenagers from Spandau in Eer-
ste River all belonging to the Cornerstone
YouthClubwere takenonanexciting camp-
ing experience to Muizenberg this past
weekend.
The club partnered with the Retreat
Youth Squad and the youth from Hanover
Park andwent on a camp aimed specifically
for youth at risk, Caswell Julies, founder of
Cornerstone, said.
The camp taught them why discipline
anddedicationplayan important role in the
planning of ones future, Julies said.
The camp was held at the Zeekoevlei Re-
sort in Muizenberg from 18 to 20 March.
The Metro Police K9 Unit also attended.
They used their dogs to demonstrate how
these animals assist the police in detecting
drugs, Julies said.
One of the guest speakers at the camp in-
cluded a former inmate, doctor Dennis Wit-
booi, who achieved his first diploma in
teaching whilst in prison.
Witbooi is currently a psychologist prac-
ticing in Hout Bay.
The youth was also entertained by a
dance crew from Eerste River named Just
do It, Julies said.
The teens also participated in a series of
team building activities led by Julies and
Samton Groenewald, leader of the Retreat
Youth Squad.
Teens taught life lessons

T
he conflict between the rights of drug
users to clean equipment, and those of
thebroaderBellville community tonot
be exposed to drug paraphernalia and open
drug use, will not level out soon.
This comes after yet another reader has
asked TygerBurger to investigate the legiti-
macy of drug users openly shooting up and
leaving used needles behind, and the orga-
nisation that supplies this equipment as
part of their harm reduction programme.
Resident Tomislav Milakovic sent Tyger-
Burger pictures of a drug user injecting
himself in broad daylight in the middle of
a residential street.
Some of the pictures, which he obtained
from the Oakdale Watch, also show packs
of unused syringes that were picked up by
patrollers, and used syringes that were
pickedup in various parks aroundOakdale.
How is there any control? Milakovic
asked in an open letter to Step Up, the orga-
nisation backed by local andprovincial gov-
ernment to service drug users with essen-
tials to ensure harm reduction.
Step Up, you say what you do, will pre-
vent disease.
Nonsense. You are
handing out clean nee-
dles, yes, but they will
get used on our door-
steps, streets, parks and
churches. These needles
are now dirty and in
fact increase the poten-
tial spread of disease,
Milakovic wrote.
Yes, your intentions
are noble, but your end
result is flawed. You do
your charity bit during
the day over here in Bell-
ville then go home to
sleep in your comforta-
ble bed, believing you are making a better
world, whilst we, here in the trenches, are
left with the task of day and night trying to
keep our streets clean for our children.
You have helped entice more drug users
into Bellville and surrounds, inclusive of
Boston, he said.
Other concerns raised included a lack of
support structure for the users, no place to
sleep or proper ablution facilities.
Put yourselves in our shoes. We are un-
derstaffed and overwhelmed as operating
neighbourhood watches, sinking in the
cesspool you are, in fact,
feeding, he said.
Step Up do us all a
favour: step down!
Shaun Shelly, advoca-
cy and psycho-social co-
ordinator at TB/HIV
Care Association, the
parent organisation of
Step Up, responded to
Milakovics letter.
Shelly is currently at a
United Nations summit
in Vienna.
According to a paper
released at the summit,
substantial reductions
in new HIV infections were noted where
needle and syringe programmes and opioid
substitution therapywere applied, showing
a reduction in HIV infections.
He added they were already doing twice-
weekly clean-ups, and repeated a call for the
public to email them the locations where
discarded needles are found and having
consultations with local civic and law en-
forcement agencies to help identify such lo-
cations.
V Contact Rudolph@tbhivcare.org to report loca
tions where used druguse equipment is found.

M
fuleni police are searching for an al-
leged murder suspect after the body
of a woman was discovered in a
bush near Happy Valley last week.
The badly decomposed body is apparent-
ly that of Sizeka Batala, a mother from the
Sophiatown townshipnearHappyValley in
Blackheath.
Batala went missing on Monday 15 Feb-
ruary. Shewas later reportedmissingat the
Mfuleni police station, community worker
Julie de Bruin told TygerBurger last week.
De Bruin is one of those who believe that
the body, described by her as badly bruised
and found on Monday 14 March at about
20:30, is that of Batala.
Her family and friends searched every-
where for her, but could not find her, De
Bruin said.
Last week the family received a phone
call, apparently from Batalas boyfriend,
who is a Mozambican national.
He called them to inform them where
her body was buried, de Bruin said.
The police are now searching for the boy-
friend.
Mfuleni police spokesperson Captain No-
mathemba Muavha identified the suspect
as Ali Mbiza.
She said the publics assistance is re-
quired in tracing the suspectwho iswanted
for murder.
The body of a 30-year-old female was
found in Happy Valley and we have reason
to believe that Mbiza was responsible for
her death, Muavha said.
A case of murder is being investigated.
The possibility that the body is that of
the female who was reported missing on
[Friday] 26 February cannot be ruled out,
however the identity of the deceased is yet
to be determined, Muavha said.
V Anyone with information is requested to call
082 777 6264 or 021 909 9618.
Police search for
womans partner
Sizeka Batala from Happy Valley with her son
and partner Ali Mbiza.
Mfuleni police have issued an appeal to the
public to report people using a firearm to
commit crime.
Police spokesperson Captain Nomathem-
ba Muavha said a crime pattern analysis
shows that illegal firearms are one of the
contributing factors in murders, robberies
and hijackings.
The police appeal to the community to
make a contribution in the fight against
crime by anonymously report those who
use firearms in the commission of a crime.
V Anyone with information can contact the Mfuleni
police on 021 909 9593.

A
new car pool app aims to relieve traf-
fic congestion and help save the envi-
ronment to boot.
Two entrepreneurs, Sipho Ndimande and
ChrisMegan, founded uGoMyWay, a unique
ride-share and car pool mobile application
with which commuters can do their bit to
change the citys traffic flow while getting
to know new people during travel time.
With the app, anyone can find the drivers
and passengers heading in the same direc-
tion as themselves, using the special plat-
form for chatting to make mutual commut-
ing arrangements
The app contains a leaderboard on which
different categories are listed and on which
more can be added, making it easy to find
a ride to almost anywhere in the city.
This effectively means cost sharing, a re-
duction in carbonmonoxide emissions, con-
gestion and road maintenance costs, as well
as more available parking spaces.
Users will also be able to show their com-
mitment to a cleaner environment while
saving money and having the kind of safety
made possible by the app whereby only
those within the users chosen organisation
can see their travel plans.
Companies (or any other organisation)
can pre-register their members to securely
ring-fence their user community.
By maintaining a private profile, any
member of an organisation may only see,
and be seen, by othermembers of the organi-
sation, according to the uGoMyWay web-
site.
The app can be downloaded free on Play-
Store for Android cellphone users and Meg-
an says this is their way of making better
use of the road network and allow(ing) tech-
nology to help people connect to each other
on their website.
Why wouldnt your organisation want to
promote its commitment to reducing CO2
emissions.
Their website also states that they have
made payments simple by employing the
SnapScan mobile payment system.

A
memorial service was held last week
to honour the two McDonalds staff
members who sadly passed away a
week ago in what can be described as a sad
case of mistaken identity.
Noxolo Skota (29) and her colleague Xoli-
sa Tshabe (24) were passengers in a Toyota
Quantum being transported home on Hind-
le Road, Blue Downs last Monday morning
when they were shot and killed allegedly
by the police. The policemistook their vehi-
cle for the one involved in an armed rob-
bery earlier that day at a service station in
Grove Street, Kuils River.
Two suspects involved in the robbery
were also shot dead. They were found in
Parliament Street, Mfuleni.
On Thursday afternoon Skota and
Tshabe were remembered by their col-
leagues, family and friends for the loving,
kind and cheerful individuals they were.
One of their colleagues described Skota,
who started working at McDonalds in
KuilsRiver inAugust 2013, as anice person,
someone who always made jokes and who
worked well with all of her managers.
We lost a friend, a colleague and a family
member, the colleague said.
Tshabe was described as a gentleman.
They will always be remembered, an-
other worker said.
Thememorial, whichwas held at the Van
Riebeeck Hall, was packed with colleagues,
family, friends and residents ofKuils River.
Eddie Cornelissen, former owner of the
fast food franchise in Van Riebeeck Road,
also spoke a few words.
He thanked everyone for attending the
memorial and for showing their support.
Cornelissen described the day as a sad oc-
casion.
Nico Jacobs, a director atMcDonalds SA,
also comforted the family.
Myheart goes out to the family of the two
victims and their friends and colleagues
my deepest sympathy.
We are never going to realise the poten-
tial of the two people we have lost, Jacobs
said.
The shooting incident is being investigat-
ed by the Independent Police Investigative
Directorate (Ipid).
Robbie Raburabu, spokesperson for Ipid,
toldTygerBurger lastweek that thepatholo-
gist confirmed that both deceased died as
a result of multiple gunshot wounds.
One of the suspects who allegedly robbed
the filling stationwas identified asManelisi
Tokwe. The second suspect who was also
shot deadhas still not been identified,Rabu-
rabu said.
Raburabu said not much progress had
beenmade in the investigation except to say
that their investigators have approached
the victims with a view to obtaining state-
ments, but could not as most were still at
the hospital and in pain.
A total of about 18 police officers who
were alleged tohave takenpart in the opera-
tion are still to be approached for state-
ments.
They are from different
units including K9, Flying
Squad, National Interven-
tion Unit and the Provincial
Observation Team, Rabu-
rabu said.
Greg Solomons, chief ex-
ecutive officer of McDo-
nalds SA, said in a state-
ment the company was
working closely with the
families of the deceased and
injured during this difficult
time.
We respect the privacy of
the victims and their fami-
lies andwe donotwish to en-
ter into details of our sup-
port to the families. We are
still dealingwith the tragedy
of such a senseless loss and
ask your patience as we deal
with our grief and work to-
wards recovering.
A memorial service was
also held on Tuesday night
at the restaurant which was
attended by the public.

Super fast internet coming to Cape Town
DESIRE RORKE
@dezzierorke
W
ide reaching lightning-fast internet
access could soon be available in
Cape Town, pending council ap-
proval, for the installation of a fibre-optic ca-
ble network in the citys sewer and stormwa-
ter pipes.
The City of Cape Towns mayoral commit-
tee last Tuesday recommended that council
grants approval for Link Africa, a telecom-
munication companys right of use appli-
cation.
Maycomember for corporate services and
compliance, Xanthea Limberg, says if ap-
proved this roll-out will have far reaching
benefits, not only for the City, but more im-
portantly for residents and businesses.
The granting of the long-term rights will
contribute to the accelerated roll-out of tele-
communications infrastructure that is es-
sential for economic development in Cape
Town, she said.
We believe that improved access to tele-
communication services and especially ac-
cess to the internet is no longer a privilege
but a necessity to link residents with eco-
nomic activities. The access to associated in-
frastructurewill not only address the availa-
bility and the speed of existing services, but
will also help to reduce the cost of telecom-
munication services in the city.
The city will therefore benefit financially
by way of a market related income.
Link Africa will decide where to install
the fibre-optic cable based on the demand in
specific areas for the services which they of-
fer, she says.
But the entire city could ultimately bene-
fit.
Rates and taxes will not be affected.
The draft agreement between the City
and the service provider makes provision
for a charge to be raised by the City when
granting the right to install cables in the
Citys pipes. This will be a very small addi-
tional source of income to the City and will
be paid by the company, she says.
The company will be constructing tele-
communication networks in an area where
there is demand to enable them to provide
high-speed internet access to adjacent prop-
erties, she adds.
These projects are called fibre-to-the-
home or fibre-to-the-business initiatives.
Once the network has been established,
the company then leases capacity on the net-
work to internet service providers (ISPs)
who in turn provide services to end users.
End users would pay their ISP for the inter-
net service they receive. The ISPwill in turn
pay the telecommunication network provid-
er for the use of their network that will ena-
ble them to recover the cost of building and
operating the network, she explains.
The draft agreement brokered between
the two parties protects the Citys rights as
the owner of the infrastructure and will en-
sure that theCity is indemnified in the event
of Link Africas fibre-optic cabling being
damaged or claims by third parties.

NewButtskop upgrade planned
RICHARD ROBERTS
@richardjohn_rj
A
long overdue upgrade to parts of
ButtskopRoad inBlackheath is soon
set to take place, it was announced
at a subcouncil 21 meeting last week.
The part earmarked for the upgrade is
between Range Road and Vineyard Street,
Dennis de Villiers, a representative from
the City of Cape Towns transport depart-
ment, told ward councillors.
The cost of the upgrade is R100 000.
The money was originally planned to be
used as a contribution to the level crossing
elimination project a project driven by
Prasa to eliminate the level crossing. Ac-
cording to the subcouncil agenda however
the planning for this project is delayed.
De Villiers told councillors that the
money earmarked will therefore be used
to improve Buttskop.
We are going to utilise the money for
the upgrade of a section of Buttskop. The
sectionwe are looking at is around 300me-
tres long, de Villiers said.
Bert van Dalen, ward 14 councillor, told
De Villiers the section near the crossing
atFrederickStreet is also a safety concern.
This road should be diverted as it poses
a danger, he said.
De Villiers indicated that the depart-
ment is aware of the danger at this section.
Adiversionof FrederickStreetwas one
of the options considered, but the R100 000
will not be enough to build a new road.
We will also be required to cross land
that does not belong to us, said De Villi-
ers.
It is unclearwhen the upgradewill start.
The Buttskop level crossing made head-
lines five years agowhen aMetrorail train
struck a minibus taxi transporting school
children. Ten children died in that acci-
dent.

Mfuleni police issued a warning to people,
asking them to be aware of an increase in
theft of motor vehicles.
Police spokesperson Captain Nomathem-
baMuavha said during the last week the po-
lice noticed an increase in theft of motor ve-
hicles in their precinct.
The area coversWesbank,Mfuleni, Silver-
sands, Happy Valley and the industrial area
in Blackheath.
The vehicles are stolen during the night
and half of those vehicles stolen were stolen
frompeoplewhowent to taverns and parked
their vehicles in the parking areas or along
the street, Muavha explained.
There is no particular type of vehicle be-
ing targeted any vehicle gets stolen.
The police are requesting people to ensure
that their vehicles are locked properly at all
times even if it is parked inyourdriveway
or if you quickly go into the house to pick
up something you forgot.
It is recommended that people install gear
and steering lock mechanisms in their vehi-
cle to minimise the risk.
Do not use a immobiliser to lock your car
from a distance, physically check that the
door is locked after using the immobiliser,
Muavha said.

be aware of car thieves

I had the opportunity to assist
my mom to receive her card
when Sassa switched to the
card system. At a certain point
an official requested my mom
to sign a form. I could see that
it was a type of bank order
form. No entries were made.
So my mom were asked to sign
a blank form.
I alerted the official about
this. The reply was that he/she
was just following orders.
We know that our elderly
and needy people are very
vulnerable and would just do
what they are told to get their

reasons why so many people

Once again the Easter Week-
end is upon us. And the
negligence of humans surfaces.
Please do not leave your pets
unattended. Leaving extra food
and water is not enough. If a
friend or relative is coming
daily to feed your pets, at least
speak to a neighbour to make
sure this person actually does
come every day. Make sure all
relevant gates are locked not
just closed. And please leave a
contact number next door in
case you are needed.
Burglary should be kept in
mind. Leave lights on outside
and a few inside and ask the
person checking on your pets
to alternate inside lights.
Too many people in our
suburbs think they are invisi-
ble or above being seen as
idiots. We, as a community,
must take a stand and learn to
speak up against neglect and
abuse in our areas. Too many
people know about kids being
abused and say nothing. We
must stop being afraid to get
involved. Speak out. Dont be

The robot settings/timing,
specifically in Durban Road,
Willie van Schoor Avenue and
Tygerberg Valley Road, to
mention a few, are so badly set
by the authorities that they
cause traffic jams even
without traffic!
Robots are designed to create
the best flow of traffic possible
and should be synchronised to
do just that. Traffic officials
should know that its a system
and not just traffic lights! Who
educates them?
I get irate and frustrated
when standing at so many
intersections for no reason, as
hardly any vehicles are cross-
ing. Its no wonder that motor-
ists put voet in die hoek to
avoid stopping, resulting in
speeding and skipping a red
light! Most motorists do that in
a hurry and one cant really
blame them.

an 18-year-old visitor from
Holland. When travelling to
Tyger Valley Shopping Centre,
down Durban Road, she re-
marked: How silly your robots

I know it is in our nature to
condemn and criticise people
very quickly. However, on this
occasion I would like to ac-
knowledge the kindness and
generosity shown to a senior
citizen, and extend thanks to a
young guy whose name I do not
know. On Thursday 25 Februa-
ry, about 11:00, my 86-year-old
friend was walking from 13th
Avenue to my home for tea, to
celebrate my birthday. On the
corner of Cleveland and 15th
Avenue this kind youngster
stopped in his Rawson Proper-
ties bakkie to offer her a lift.
He assured her that she would
be safe as his mother taught
him to respect and look after
the elderly! She was close to
my home, she declined the lift.
He switched off the bakkies
engine, got out and escorted
her to my front door! Needless
to say, we were both very
impressed with his kindness.
Great to see there are still kind
and considerate people like this
around, especially with the
growing crime rate in our
country and the disrespect for
people, especially the elderly.

oortjies van n nuuskierige sewejarige
nie. Oom Koster was in beheer van die
kerkklok en ek was vas oortuig hy slaap
in die kerktoring, want hy was altyd net
dr. Hyt ons geskel as ons voete gesleep
het Sondagskoolklas toe.
Ekt gewonder hoe hy gaan skel sonder
n tong. Want oom Koster gaan gesond
word en terugkom die hele gemeente
het immers vir hom gebid.
Kanker was destyds soos n tienerswan-
gerskap of egskeiding. Niemand het
daaroor gepraat of geskinder nie. Gewon-
der dalk, maar nie geprt nie.
Ons het oom Koster nooit weer gesien
nie.
Twintig jaar later was dit my pa se
beurt om die
Groot K in die o
te staar.
Die dag toe hy
nie meer sy
Sudoku-raaisel kon
invul nie, was die
dag dat ek geweet
het dis tyd om
vrede te maak en
koebaai te s.
Wr het die
kerk en my ma-hul-
le gebid dat die
Liewe Vader hom
moet spaar. Ekt
gebid dat hy nie
vir jare moet ly nie en dat hy sonder pyn
moet sterf.
Van die familie het my uitgekryt as n
ongelowige. Dis asof hulle gedink het my
ongeloof mag dalk net maak dat hulle
gebede nie voldoende trefkrag gaan h
nie. Ek moes sm bid vir genesing.
Maar ek kon nie. Want eks n realis en
n mens kan nie teen die feite stry nie.
God se plan is nie noodwendig ons plan
nie. Sy antwoord is nie noodwendig die
antwoord wat ons wil hoor nie.
Die skuldgevoel oor my ongeloof het
my opgevreet ... net di wat in n Calvi-
nistiese huis grootgeword het, sal regtig
verstaan. Die sielkundige het ges ekt
vroer as die res van die familie begin
rou oor my pa. Toe die res nog geglo het
hy gaan weer opstaan, het ek sy studeer-
kamer begin oppak.
Dis hoekom ek die sterk een was n sy
dood. My broers en my ma was gebroke.
Wat die sielkundige ook ges het, is dat
n mens nooit die waarde van hoop moet
onderskat nie. Want solank daar hoop is,
het mense n rede om aan te gaan.
Kanker is nie meer n siekte wat net
met ander mense gebeur nie. Dis op
ons drumpel en meeste van ons het al
iemand na aan ons afgestaan aan di
ongenaakbare siekte.
Ek weet daar is verhale van hoop, van
mense wat kanker oorwin het. Dit bied n
mate van troos.
Al wat n mens kan hoop, is dat
daardie beker by jou verby sal gaan.

N
early 5 000 new homes will be built
and ready for occupation by 2020 in
Forest Village, Blue Downs news
that brings great joy to the local housing
committees.
EersteRiver andBlueDownshave ahigh
number of backyard dwellers, an issue that
has been on-going formany years. Housing
committees in the area now wish that this
will soon be a thing of the past thanks to
the construction of the Forest Village hous-
ing project.
Construction on sitewill commence soon
and take between three to four years to
complete, said ward 14 councillor Bert van
Dalen.
Van Dalen recently attended a meeting
with Western Cape human settlements
ministerBonginkosiMadikizela at the sub-
council chamber in Kuils River where the
latest news about the housing project was
shared.
There was a meeting with the minister
to clarify thematters of interest around the
provincial housing development in Forest
Village, ward 16, van Dalen said.
At the meeting it was stated that a total
of 4 820 houses will be developed in Forest
Village half of themmeant for the surplus
of the provinces N2 Gateway Housing
Project near Langa, and the other half
(2 321) to be allocated to ward 16 and the ad-
joining wards 17 and 108, van Dalen said.
He said 930unitswill be allocated toward
16, 930 to ward 17 and 461 to beneficiaries
in ward 108. A current housing project in
Bardale which falls under ward 108 is also
underway.
Van Dalen said it was envisaged that
1 200 housing opportunities will become
ready in the first half of 2017 and another
1 200 towards the end of 2017, with the rest
in the remaining period of the project.
Sofia Kannemeyer, a community worker
in Kleinvlei, said a prayer service was held
at the site on Saturday, 12 March.
We did it out of gratitude; the communi-
ty is glad that the project is finally kicking
off, she said.
In 2013 already we asked to receive
homes here. There were several commit-
tees that applied, she said.
We are very happy, Kannemeyer said.

T
he brand new school in Eerste River
which opened its doors at the start
of the 2016 academic year was offi-
cially launched last week.
The ceremony on Wednesday morning
at the new Forest Village Leadership
Academy was attended by senior educa-
tion department personnel including pro-
vincial education minister Debbie Sch-
fer.
Apart from the launch in Forest Vil-
lage, Schfer also handed over a second
school on Wednesday the Happy Valley
Primary School which was completed to-
wards the end of last year. Both schools
are part of the departments Collabora-
tion Schools Pilot Project.
We are pleased that we have been able
to deliver two beautiful schools that the
community can be proud of, and its
learners can thrive in, Schfer said.
Both schools cater for a maximum of
1 240 learners each.
The pilot programme started at the be-
ginning of the year. The education de-
partment in partnership with a group of
philanthropic donors launched the pro-
gramme as part of our broader efforts to
improve the educational outcomes of our
public schools in poorer communities
and underperforming schools.
Through the programme, the educa-
tion department aims to test a newmodel
of schooling that brings additional educa-
tion management skills and innovation
into the public school system, through
non-profit partnerships that improve the
quality of teaching and learning in no-fee
public schools, Schfer said.
These support organisations, called op-
erating partners, will ensure intensive
school-level support to teachers and prin-
cipals through training, additional re-
sources, monitoring and feedback.
The Mellon Educate Foundation and
the 2 Oceans Education Foundation are
two of the organisations that are current-
ly on board with the project.

Leerders by die Laerskool Kalkfontein is on-
langs verras en bederf deur n reeks boeke
wat aan hulle voorgelees is deur n gr. 8-leer-
der van die Academy Private School in
Kuilsrivier.
Die verrassing was deel van Nasionale Bi-
blioteekweek.
Monique Fourie (14), wat die gas by die
skool was tydensNasionale Biblioteekweek,
vier jaarliks di week deur plaaslike kleu-
ter- of laerskole in die gebied te besoek as
deel van haar Lief vir Lees-uitreikprojek.
By die Laerskool Kalkfontein het sy haar
besoek afgeskop deur paaseiers aan die
skoolhoof, Allan vanNiekerk, by sy kantoor
te oorhandig.
Daarna het sy by die skool se biblioteek
ingeloer en vir die graad 3-klas vertel hoe be-
langrik dit is om boeke te lees.
Monique het hulle ook n bietjie meer oor
stories vertel, hoe ombyhul plaaslikebiblio-
teek aan te sluit enhoe omboekemooi te ver-
sorg en op te pas. Ek s altyd vir die kinders
dat boeke jou beste vriende is.
Boeke maak jou slim en stimuleer jou
brein. Boeke neem jou na ver plekke en leer
jou ander mense en omgewings ken, s Mo-
nique.
N die lekker gekuier en gesels, het sy vir
die hele klas paaseiers uitgedeel en belowe
om hulle gou weer te besoek.

F
rom sampling indigenous bird life to his
blend of genres infused with tribal
echoes, Xavier Rudds music is an ethe-
real experience.
The Australian multi-instrumentalist will
be bringing his otherworldly sounds to Cape
Town next week when he performs at the
Parklife Festival on Monday 28 March.
Xavier grew up in what he calls a coastal
bush town in Australia where he was al-
ways teaching himself to play
the different instruments he
now surrounds himself with
on stage, like the guitar, har-
monica, yidaki,banjo, lap
steel guitar, percussion and
the didgeridoo.
The soft-spoken musician
says he was pretty shy to
start off with, but once he
started performing in front of
people, he just kept moving
forward. Today he travels the
world doing my thing.
Widely considered to be an
activist, Xaviers music car-
ries messages of social con-
sciousness, environmentalism and human
rights.
The impression of Aboriginal people here
in Australia is something thats always been
the closest to my heart.
Xavier feels a lot of lessons about racism
should have been learnt in South Africa al-
ready.
His experience of this country is based on
his exposure from working with the 60-year-
old Southern Sotho bassist Tio Moloantoa
Tio has shared his insights into apartheid
from his perspective.
Hewas always very humble and very pos-
itive and always said that South Africa was
the greatest place in the world.
For Xavier, the issue ismore about the big-
ger picture. Its always made to be a human
thing, he says.
Its about time that everyone just laid
down their weapons, so to speak, and just re-
membered our connection to land and look
after our land as one people.
Tio isnt the only SouthAfrican Xavier has
worked with. Together with percussionist
Andile Nqubezelo, Tio and Xavier released
Koonyum Sun as Xavier Rudd and Izintaba
in 2010. Tio also plays as a member of Xavier
Rudd and the United Nations, who released
Nanna last year. Xavier says the
group, made up of members from
around the world, came about
quite organically.
All the members just ap-
peared, pretty much.
Together, they share a message
of all people coming together
around the globe to return to spir-
it, respect the ancient ways and
protect the earth and the very es-
sence of creation.
Were all in this together and
this change needs to happen
around the world. We all need to
do whatever we can, it doesnt
matter what it is.
Akeensurfer,Xavier saysa lot of hismusic
was written in the water. I spend a lot of
time surfing and writing in my head.
Capetonians can experience the connec-
tion on Monday when Xavier will perform a
mix of new and older material at the Parklife
Festival at Green Point Stadium (next to Ha-
miltons Cricket Club). The line-up for the
