SPECIAL RATED AREA: R2.9M TO BE RAISED
Tyger
Valley
gets CID
MICHELLE LINNERT
@linnertmb
A
fter 30months of planning
and getting the necessary
approval, a large portion
of the Tyger Valley commercial
district will get its own City Im-
provement District (CID).
This special rated area or CID
started out as the brain child of
Quintin Rossi, one of the own-
ers of Spear Properties and was
recently approved by council. It
will be known as the Tyger Val-
ley Improvement District, or
TVID, and will cover the entire
area from Edward Street down
past the Bellville Velodrome
and up to the Tyger Waterfront,
but excluding the two major
shopping centres in the area,
Willowbridge and Tyger Valley
Shopping Centre.
Rossi says the idea of the
TVID was not only to add value
to properties owned by Spear,
but to get rid of criminal ele-
ments that had pervaded this lo-
cation and was giving it a less
than savoury reputation as a
problem area.
From an investment per-
spective and tenant retention
perspective this had to get dealt
with quickly and efficiently and
the only manner to deal with
this in a legal manner, was to
approach the City of Cape Town
and start the establishment
process, Rossi says.
With the establishment of an
improvement district a dedicat-
ed TVID manager will be ap-
pointed to oversee public safety
officers andurbanmanagement
teams, he says, in an effort to
push back against a growing
problem of vagrants, crime and
poor urban environment man-
agement.
In the intervening months,
Quintin and the TVID commit-
tee, set out doing their home-
work.
This included drawing up a
detailed demarcation and busi-
ness plan for their CID.
The establishment of the
TVID was in no way a one-man
effort and a special mention
must bemade tomy fellow com-
mitteemembers of theTVID, be-
ing Cliff Toerien from Baker
Street Properties, Joan Solms
from Ingenuity Property Fund,
John Bielich from Ingenuity
Property Fund, Louis Andrag
from Leggato Investments and
our CID management team, Ge-
ocentrics, led by Gene Loh-
rentz, Rossi says.
He adds the implementation
year budget has been set around
the R2.9 million mark, which
will become an additional
charge levied onto the non-resi-
dential property owners rates
and tax accounts.

A 5-year budget and business plan has been
formulated to the latter effect and can be
viewed on www.tvid.co.za.
Given the overwhelming support re-
ceived for the establishment I can say with-
out a doubt that themajority of commercial
property owners recognise that something
needs to be done in the area to safeguard the
future value of their investments and to en-
sure Tyger Valley remains an attractive
tenant destination in many years to come.
This improvement district is not solely
for thebenefit ofEdwardStreet, (but) rather
for the greater Tyger Valley commercial
precinct, he says.
Rossi adds the exclusion of the two major
shopping centres is deliberate, as these fall
under gated complexes and the mandate
of the TVID does not extend to gated com-
plexes, for example a public safety officer
cannot act on this property, as in many cas-
es these properties have contracted clean-
ing and security services.
Geocentricss Lohrentz has a big task
ahead of him, says Rossi, adding there
would be a social responsibility element to
see to on his watch
... The vision is to recruit, train and up-
skill individuals from shelters to become
urban management and urban upkeep
teams in the TVID similar to what we have
achieved in Salt River.
Aserviceproviderwill be appointed soon,
he adds.
Rossi says he and his partners hope to es-
tablish with the TVID a safer, cleaner area
with less vagrancy and more jobs.
We anticipate to create at least 10 to 15
new jobs in the establishment, which in a
country with such a high unemployment
rate is a good start aswe each take responsi-
bility tomake our country great and in turn
make Tyger Valley great!
Wewill be held to account by the proper-
ty owners within the TVID as well as the
City of Cape Town in the execution of our
business plan.
I would encourage tenants and property
owners to contact me with any questions or
queries regarding the TVID and I will be
sure to put you in touch with the right per-
son if I cannot dealwith itmyself, saysRos-
si.
The City confirmed the TVID would be-
come operational at the start of the next fi-
nancial book year.
Yes, Council approved the establish-
ment of the Tyger valley Improvement Dis-
trict (TVID) SRA at the Council meeting
heldon31March2016 and it is effective from
1 July 2016, said the Citys deputy mayor,
Ian Neilson.

I
f there is one issue in Bellville that will
not soon let up, it is the tug of war be-
tween the community and the services
providedbyStepUp, anHIVpreventionand
drug user support programme.
Locals have bemoaned the fact that the
NGO operates in their community by hand-
ing out sterile druguser equipment in order
to prevent the spread of disease among that
part of the populace.
One resident and neighbourhood watch
member from Oakdale who has repeatedly
formally complained to anumber of sources
about the perceived impact of the NGOs
work in his neighbourhood, recently took
the time to speak to some users himself.
Tomislav Milakovic says he was patrol-
ling with a colleague when they landed up
in a candid and insightful discussion at the
Anglican church down Durban Road with
a couple, girl and guy, aged around 25, drug
addicts, living and sleeping on our streets.
The girl has a two-year-old daughter
staying with relatives currently.
As they explain, their current drug of
choice is heroin. They themselves say
things have escalated in Bellville, Milak-
ovic says.
They admit the parks have been looking
bad, but noticed they are cleaner now. This
is mostly due to our patrols. They say there
are now even street kids spiking it up.
According to the couple, themainarea for
dealing is by the Standard Bank in the city
centrewhereheroin costs aroundR30 a pop.
Before, they had to pay another extra
R30 for needles. They now get the needles
from Step Up. They admit they still share
needles, as it is sometimes too much effort
to go to Step Up to get new ones.
Milakovic says the couple is desperate to
quit using, but find it near impossible.
The girl gets emotional when you bring
up her daughter. She agrees that she would
notwant her daughter playing in our parks,
as it is unsafe. She says what hasnt helped
is that to shoot up, both drugs and needles
are a lot more freely available than before
in Bellville, making it that much harder to
stop.
He says the couple attends the monthly
meeting hosted by Step Up at the Bellville
Mens Clinic.
Admittedly, not so much to listen to
what Step Up has to say about how to inject
oneself cleanly, but more so, because of the
R60 they get given, which they then use to
buy more heroin, Milakovic says.
As it is, she doesnt take StepUps advice
as to where to inject. She prefers to inject
herself in theneck, aswhen thepolice check
her, they only check for tracks on her
arms.
Shaun Shelly from Step Up responded.
Unfortunately traditional approaches to
dealing with children and family members
who use drugs can break down family
bonds, leading to further isolation and stig-
matisation and further reliance on drugs as
a coping mechanism, he said, referring to
the woman being away from her daughter.
Wereallyneed communitybased resour-
ces, and specifically shelters that cater for
drug-using individuals.
He added people will share needles as
they are afraid of carrying a large amount
of needles on their person for fear of arrest.
As for the availability of drugs, there
will always be drugs. Most drug use is not
harmful and does not result in addiction.
However, for peoplewhohave little hope
of a meaningful future, for people who have
suffered multiple traumas and for people
who feel psycho-socially dislocated, drug
use can carry deep meaning, provide a
sense of identity, become a vocation and is
a very real and effectiveway ofmasking the
realities of their lives, Shelly said.
Again, to think that if theywerent given
the R60 that they wouldnt use, is naive. We
give them the R60 because they are partak-
ing in a study in their time, and we reim-
burse them as we would anyone else.

A
ccording to a tutoring centre they are
well within their rights to operate as
they currently are, even when this is
in contradiction with legislative require-
ments and after the centre has been told to
close its doors.
As such, Study Xpress in Durbanville,
with offices inBellville andTokai, has since
taken legal action against theWestern Cape
Education Department (WCED).
Study Xpress claims findings by the
WCED stating they are operating as an ille-
gal independent school are incorrect, and
that its centres would continue operating
well after Saturday 30 April the date given
by the department on which to close their
doors. Study Xpress shares the same set of
lawyers tackling the very same issue on be-
half of the Dots Learning Centre in Edward
Street in Bellville, which TygerBurger re-
ported about last week (Bellville school
found to be illegal).
The centres also share the same issue of
contention, as addressed byStudyXpress in
a legal letter sent to the WCED and sup-
plied by at least twoparents of former Study
Xpress learners to TygerBurger.
This letter was drafted by the attorneys
of Impak, the organisation whose curricu-
lum is used in the Study Xpress centres as
well as at Dots Learning Centre.
Aquote froma subsequent letter byStudy
Xpress managing director Ivan Grobler
drafted to parents, reads: The legal team
is nowdealingwith [the] department of edu-
cation, challenging the validity and legality
of their investigation and report. Impak is
fully behind us with regards to our opera-
tion as well as the legal proceedings.
I want to urge you as parent to be wary
of rumors and third party opinions and
statement [sic] as it could be based on in
[sic] factual evidence and emotional drive.
This runs the risk of damaging our reputa-
tion, Grobler said.
In our previous article, Dots Learning
Centre referred TygerBurger to these same
lawyers for further information.
After publication last Wednesday
(6 April), a lawyer from Impak called on be-
half of Derek Nortj, husband and business
partner of Dot, and cited the centre had not
had enough time to comprehensively re-
spond to our media enquiry.
In said media enquiry, TygerBurger sim-
ply asked Dots whether they were regis-
tered or not, and for how long theyve been
operating with or without the necessary
registration at the WCED.
On Friday 8 April, in a letter of complaint
addressed toTygerBurger and the press om-
budsman, TygerBurger is further accused
by a parent in support of Study Xpress of
journalism and fabricated stories.
The press ombudsman for local newspa-
pers, George Claassen, has since found that
this newspaper had adhered to the audi al-
teram partem press rule, which requires
that both sides of a story are reported on for
such report to be balanced and fair.
The WCED would not comment on the le-
gal letter they had received from Study
Xpress and which has since been referred
to the State Law Advisor. As the matter is
currently sub judice, we are not in a posi-
tion to comment, said spokesperson Milli-
cent Merton.

D
ie drie skobbejakke kyk na mekaar in
ongeloof.
Het hierdie omie van Oosterzee nou
net vir hulle ges wat hulle gedink het hyt
ges?
Met sy wysvinger-en-duim-rewolwer uit-
gesteek na hulle s Kobus van Zyl weer:
Stand or Ill shoot you!
Daar was nie n rolbos in sig nie, maar dit
was straks soos n humoristiese oomblik in
n Wilde Weste-fliek.
Die skurke het besluit om hom te ignoreer
enhet in hul kar geklimom te ontsnap,maar
Kobus het nie twee keer laat wag op homnie
en het toe summier die sleutel uit die aansit-
ter getrek.
Dit was die laaste strooi! Een van die ro-
wers stap toe na Kobus, lig sy swaar hamer
bo sy kop en swaai ...
Net n paar minute vroer het die drie
mans, van wie twee van Mpumalanga is, ge-
dink hulle gaan n voorspoedige huisin-
braak sonder voorvalle h.
Morn Kriel, n buurman van die slagof-
fers, het egter glashoor breek terwylhyDon-
derdag om 11:40 in sy sitkamer gesit het.
Toe hy by die venster uitkyk, sien hy n
onbekende goudbruin Toyota Etios in sy bu-
re se oprit.
Hyhet ook gesienhoe die inbrekers n koe-
voet gebruik om by die huis in te breek.
Ek het uit ondervinding besluit om nie
te skreeu op die ouens nie, want ek wil nie
h hulle moet ontsnap nie. Toe bel ek die po-
lisie en gaan na Kobus se huis in die pad af,
s Morn. Albei van hulle is aktiewe lede
van die Oosterzee-buurtwag.
Dit was toe dat Kobus in sy kar na die huis
gejaag het en die drie in die oprit raakgeloop
het. Ek het besluit om bietjie te gesels met
hulle, lag Kobus.
Nadat hy hulle gedreig het met sy vinger,
het hulle hom met n tienpond-hamer oor
die kop probeer slaan, maar gelukkig was
die man te na aan Kobus toe hy swaai en het
net die handvatsel Kobus teen die kop getref.
Dit het als so vinnig gebeur, s hy.
Ek dink hulle het toe die karsleutels by
my gevat en in my kar probeer wegry, maar
ek was weer op my voete. Toe ruk ek weer
die karsleutel uit die aansitter van my eie
kar!
Van een voertuig beweeg die inbrekers toe
maar weer na die eerste hierdie keer kon
niks of niemand hulle keer om weg te jaag
nie.
Die paarminute van chaos in die oprit van
die slagoffers was genoeg vir die polisie om
die woord onder hul lede en die misdaads-
voorkomingseenheid te versprei.
Hulle het, volgens Morn, baie vinnig ge-
reageer.
Jacques Kies, ondervoorsitter van die
buurtwag, het tydens die onderonsie in
Frans Conradie-rylaan op sy motorfiets ge-
ry. Toe hy links gekyk het na die dienspad
waar die huis gele is, het hy opgemerk dat
daar iets aan die gang is.
Ek weet daar is net een roete wat die drie
kon gebruik het omdaar uit te kom. Toe jaag
ek daarna en wag hulle in, s Jacques.
Terwyl hy by die stopstraat op sy motor-
fiets gewaghet, het drie voertuie nader gery.
Die voorste en agterste motors het aan le-
de vandie publiek behoort en dieToyotawas
in die middel.
Jacques het vir die voorste bestuurder be-
duie om by die stopstraat te stop en vir die
agterste motoris om so na as moontlik aan
dieToyota stil te hou.Maardit het nie vinnig
genoeg gebeur nie en die inbrekers kon vin-
nig spore maak.
Hulle het reg op my afgejaag, toe spring
ek vanmymotorfiets af, wat toe deur die To-
yota getref is, s Jacques.
Die motorfiets het sy been naelskraap ge-
mis. Dit was n poging tot moord.
Dit het Jacques egter nie afgeskrik nie. Hy
het weer op sy motorfiets geklim en agterna
gejaag.
Teen daardie tyd het verskeie polisievoer-
tuie deelgeneem aan die wilde jaagtog deur
die strate van Parow.
Ongelukkig vir die inbrekers het hulle n
verkeerde afdraai in Sarel Cilliersstraat ge-
vat n doodloopstraat.
Hulle het toe deur die sekerheidshekke
van die Parow-munisipaliteit gejaag, maar
Jacques en die polisie was steeds op hul hak-
ke. Die drie voortvlugtiges het uit die kar ge-
spring en uitmekaar gespat, met die polisie
en lid van n misdaadvoorkomingseenheid
agter twee aan, terwyl Jacques die derde een
op sy motorfiets agterna gesit het.
Lt. Kevin Williams, Parow-polisiewoord-
voerder, brei uit: Gou was al drie gearres-
teer vir huisinbraak. Ons het die voertuig
deursoek en n groot televisiestel, n tablet
en ander huishoudelike items gevind. Ons
het ook vasgestel dat twee van die mans van
Bushbuckridge in Mpumalanga is en die
derde van Mfuleni. Die Toyota is n gehuur-
de voertuig van Gauteng met vals registra-
sienommers. Die eienaar van die gesteelde
eiendom het op die toneel sy besittings kom
uitken.
Hy het elke betrokke persoon bedank vir
die spanwerk wat tot die arrestasies gelei
het.
Die drie verdagtesword tans in die Parow-
polisiekantoor se selle aangehou.

Beggingmothermakes a killing
MICHELLE LINNERT
@linnertmb
A
mother begging with her two small
children at traffic lights inWelgemo-
ed, has conned quite a number of res-
idents out of their hard-earned cash.
The woman, who is known to frequent
the traffic lights from the corners of Jip de
Jager and Uys Krige roads right up to the
ones at the Welgemoed Forum, has earned
as much as R1200 in one go.
The woman, a point of discussion on a
resident associations social media page,
gets the money by convincing naive resi-
dents that she is short on her rent money.
Given R700, R800, even R1200
Following the thread of the comments,
the woman, also claiming to be in need of
a lift to Durbanville, is noted to have re-
ceived anything from R700, R800 and up to
R1200 at a time from the believing public.
In one instance, a resident who recog-
nised her modus operandi, reported the
woman had as many as four children with
her over the Easter weekend. The resident
did give the woman and the children a lift
from the Kenridge traffic light to the
Welgemoed Forum, she said.
I even spoke with her landlord and was
told they had to be out by 20:00 that even-
ing. She and the children were crying.
The woman managed to get R200 out of
the well-doer, who got a lawyer friend of
hers to call thewomans landlord and ex-
plain eviction processes.
I wanted to help her and I feel like we
could, but my gut told me she was lying.
I really dont know, the well-doer said.
Another resident admitted to having
been scammed by the same woman, with
one woman commenting the same hap-
pened toher endof last year, lighteningher
purse by R1200 at 19:00 in the evening.
A man who also commented on the
string, said the woman has been at it for
years and apparently formerly used the ex-
cuse that sheneeded themoney formedica-
tion for one of her children.
I even still have a copy of her drivers
licence because she said she would pay it
back, he said.
Many more joined in on the comment
string, with some calling on social services
to take away the children she was using to
operate the scam with, and others just
warning their fellow good-hearted neigh-
bours to be aware and ignore the woman.
Lucinda Valentine, director of Give-
Wise, an organisation fighting to get resi-
dents to give responsibly, said this was no
different to a homeless person begging.
The public are to blame for letting this
go on for so long. On the flip side the chil-
dren are what concerns me, she said.
In the meantime, when in doubt, do
without. The public needs to stop fuelling
the fire that is locking those kids on the
streets with that mother if it is their
mother. Many people use other peoples
children to beg and use them as pawns,
she said.
Jacques Bekker, vice-chairman of
WelgemoedSafe, the local community safe-
ty organisation, said it would be difficult
to identify this woman.
No beggars if no money given
I dont know of her, but there aremany.
They are on every corner. I simply cant be-
lieve people still fall for such scams, he
said.
Asked whether the high-tech cameras
used by WS would be able to identify the
woman, he said this was unlikely.
The cameras are set up specifically to
pick up licence plate numbers. A person
would easily be able tomovedirectlyunder
the cameras without being noticed, he
said. The issue is this: people need to see
logic. If you dont give money, there wont
be beggars. The same applies if you dont
put out your garbage bins at night, then
there wont be bin-scratchers, or crime as
a result thereof.
Buurtwag bewyer hul vir Stiklandvernuwing
Di ou fabriek op die Stiklandhospitaalterrein word tans in n stoorplek omskep.
n Ou fabriek gaan onder meer opgeknap
word as n stoor op die terrein van die Stik-
land-hospitaal, wat danksy n dinamiese na-
burige buurtwag heel nuut daar uitsien.
Di verwikkeling kom nadat die Blom-
mendal-buurtwag van die gemeenskapwat
grens aan die provinsiale grond van di hos-
pitaal sy gebreekte venster-projek van
stapel gestuur endie plaaslike raadslid daar-
by betrek het.
Die buurtwag se projekspan het ten doel
gehad om die oorgroeide hospitaalterrein
skoon te kry en skoon te hou, en het die hulp
van hul raadslid, Brendan van der Merwe,
ingeroep.
Hennie Basson, wat die projek gedryf het,
het in n mediaverklaring ges dat n finale
inspeksie op 4 April plaasgevind het.
Die perseel is toe voldoende skoongemaak
en bosse afgesny en vergiftig, lui sy verkla-
ring. Die dienste van n jaarkontrakteur is
verkry om oop stukke grond maandeliks te
inspekteer en te snoei. Die heel beste nuus
is die herbouing en opgradering van die ou
fabriek direk aan die grens van Blommen-
dal. Hierdie gebou word in sy geheel, opge-
knap vir die deparment van gesondheid wat
dit as n stoorplek gaan gebruik, s Hennie.
Hulle vorder reeds fluksmet die opgrade-
ring. Verby is die daewat die kriminele daar
kan slaap en kwaad doen.
Die Iris House Childrens Hospice is op
dieselfde terrein gele enHennie s di orga-
nisasie stel belang om die swembad daar te
herontwikkel en as deel van hul programme
te gebruik.
Die buurtwagvoorsitter, Eugene Grobler,
het in dieselfde verklaring ges diehospitaal
is op n prioriteitslys van die department
van omgewingsgesondheid geplaas.
Hierdie is absolute goeie nuus, want dit
beteken dat die tgerrein netjies gehou sal
word. Ou Paarlweg is as n prioriteit deur
wetstoepassing gedentifiseer.

A
lmost every week new complaints of
water wastage come our way, but the
City said this is due to prioritising of
leaks.
Also, sometimes these leaks can be some-
what ironic, as is the case with a reported
water leak at the corner of Bill Bezuiden-
hout Road and Strand Street in Bellville,
where a resident says the leak is very near
a City water pump station.
Its been leaking for how long. When we
walk down to the bank just past the old de-
partment of water affairs and forestry, you
see the water standing there. Its crystal
clear water and its pumping out of the
ground, says Heather Brown.
She says she has complained to the City
numerous times and has several reference
numbers regarding the problem.
Nobody wants to do something about it.
On three occasions last week, I reported the
matter to the City. They told me its been
fixed. Theres a pump station on that cor-
ner, and a big piece of open field, she said.
Another complaint came from Vredelust
in Boston. This time the leak was in Grens
Street, near the Mediclinic Louis Leipold.
A resident called in to say she has been
complaining to no end after it started.
Water is streaming down the street. The
City is quick to say we shouldnt waste wa-
ter, but then this happens, she said.
The Citys Mayco member for utility ser-
vices, Ernest Sonnenberg, answered Tyger-
Burgers media enquiry.
With the implementation of water re-
strictions and the increased awareness lev-
els of residents, theCity is receiving reports
of many minor leaks that residents had ne-
glected to report previously, and we are at-
tending to these literally around the clock.
When a report of a fault is received, a
first-level responder will go out to inspect
the fault as soon as possible. First-level re-
sponders are able to perform minor re-
pairs, Sonnenberg said.
If the repairs required are be-
yond the capacity of the first re-
sponder to fix, they will call in a
team with the appropriate ex-
pertise and equipment.
He said in cases where the leak
was minor, water supply to the
area was often maintained until
another teamwas available to fix
the leak. Thismeans the leakwill
be allowed to run in order to
maintain water supply to the res-
idents until a fully equipped re-
pair team is available.
Minor leaks are considered
lower priority, because crews are
attending to larger leaks or pipe
bursts which can, in a few sec-
onds, waste more water than a
small leak would in weeks.
Water leaks getting
prioritised, says City
The leak at the water pump station at the corners of Bill
Bezuidenhout Road and Strand Street had seemingly been
fixed by the time TygerBurger visited the site on Saturday,
as there was no leak to be seen. PHOTO: MICHELLE LINNERT

N
iemand is doodseker hoekom nie,
maar die meeste van die koorsbo-
me teen Carl Cronj-rylaan staan
semi-naak van hul bas gestroop.
n Leser het TygerBurger in kennis ge-
stel van di vreemde verskynsel wat
voorkom by die meeste van die bome in
di besige rylaan.
Rielle Heine s sy vermoed dit kan
dalk die werk wees van die bosslapers
teen die Universiteit Stellenbosch-be-
stuurskool se terrein.
Die laning koorsbome weerskante
van Carl Cronje-rylaan vanaf Pionier-
tot Mispelstraat word gereeld van hul
bas gestroop ek vermoed deur die infor-
mele inwoners op die hange van die wa-
tergate langs Carl Cronje.
Een of twee van hierdie bome het
reeds gevrek en na aanleiding van die
manier waarop die bome nou wr ge-
vandaliseer is, is ek seker nog n paar
gaan dit nie maak nie! s sy.
Riaan van Zyl, voorsitter van die
Boomkunde-vereniging, stem met Rielle
saam. As die bas afgetrek word van
daardie boom sal die boom en veral die
ouer bome vrek. Dit is n kans vir infek-
sie om in te tree, meen hy.
Van Zyl s di inheemse dunbas-boom-
soort word erg beskadig deur sy bas af
te trek rondom die stam sogenaamde
ringbas aangesien dt die boom se
sapvloei versteur.
Hy meen die gebruik het dalk n tradi-
sionele oorsprong.
As jybyvoorbeelddie basvankamfer-
bome neem, dit word deur mense geoes
vir tradisionele gebruike. As dit wel vir
daardie rede geoes word, vrek dit nie
maklik nie, want di boomsoort het baie
wye porie en dit bly lewendig vir n lang
tyd, wat help met sapvloei.
Ek sou bekommerd wees as dit my ei-
endom was waar die bome se bas afge-
trek word, want dit is n sosiale pro-
bleem, en ni n stedelikewoudprobleem
nie. Dis ook n boomkundige probleem,
want daar is nognie n alternatief verkry
wat n mens kan opsit wat kan keer dat
die bas afgetrek word nie, s Van Zyl.
H mense die bas oes, moet ordent-
lik aangespreek word, s hy.
Tradisionele dokters wil nie van bo-
me oes wat in rye geplant is nie. Hulle
wil dit h waar die bome wild groei. Dis
dalk nodig om relings te tref dat di
soort oeste deel kanwees van n stedelike
woud wat vir kommersile waarde inge-
span word, stel hy voor.
Sodoende kan daar n besluit geneem
word om die bome lewend te hou, pleks
van om die bome heeltemal van hul bas
te stroop. Die bome se herstel kan gemo-
nitor word en hulle kan herstel, en daar
kan bietjies op n slag geneem word in
plaas daarvan dat die hele boom vrek.
Diekoorsboomis juis inheems, hoewel
dit nie endemies tot die Wes-Kaap is nie,
s Van Zyl.
Ons moet veral nie bome laat dood-
gaan wat teen paaie en in parke en open-
bare tuine staan nie. n Gesprek is nodig
om te keer dat di stropery voortgaan.
Die Stad se wetstoepassingseenheid
was dit eens dat hulle nie teen enige oor-
treders kon optree nie.
n Senior kontak in die noordelike
voorstede se wetstoepassingskantoor
het aanTygerBurger ges die rede is een-
voudig: Daardie grond waarop die bos-
slapers woon, behoort aan die Universi-
teit Stellenbosch.
Stadsparke en die natuurreservaat
sal hul eie terreine bewaar, maar waar
dit oorprivate eiendomgaan, sal dieStad
niebetrokke raaknie,het dikontakge-
s.
Met die laaste ronde besprekings het
die polisie die US aangeraai om n inter-
dik teen hierdie mense te verkry n uit-
settingsbevel om hulle van die terrein te
verwyder.
Koorsbome se
bas gestroop
Hier is dit duidelik hoe die koorsbome van hul bas gestroop is. Dis n paar van die bome

Dwelmsmouse doen transaksies openlik

@linnertmb
n
Bekommerde inwoner van Conra-
diestraat in Bellville sien daagliks
hoe dwelmkopers en -verkopers hul
ding daarlangs doen.
Di inwoner wil uit die aard van die saak
anoniembly,maar het al die patrone van di
saketransaksies goed onder die knie.
Die beste tyd om fotos te neem is weeks-
dae vanaf 16:00 tot laat dan is dit spitstyd
vir die verkope, en Sondagnamiddae is ook
besig. Dit is te s as jy die transaksies wil
sien of afneem, het sy aan TygerBurger ge-
s.
Met ons besoek Saterdagmiddag om-
streeks 16:00, was die straat redelik stil,
maar die inwoner is doodseker van haar
saak.
Die agente is deesdae op en af in Conra-
diestraat bedrywig en sit dikwels in die
straat by die Chevron-padteken agter Absa,
of staan op die hoek by die Rooshof-kom-
pleks agter die Caltex-vulstasie en dan dren-
tel hulle ook in die straat voor die ingang na
McDonalds.
Hulle bedien klinte in Conradiestraat
vanaf Willie Hofmeyrlaan tot by die Caltex-
vulstasie, s sy.
Di inwoner het inligting versamel oor n
tydperk van vier jaar, het sy ges.
In een foto sit n jongman op nmotorfiets.
Dit lyk glad nie verdag nie, maar die inwo-
ner s kort nadat sy die foto geneem het, het
di jong man se handelaar daar aangekom
en het daar n transaksie plaasgevind.
Die inwoner s sy het al die inligting aan
die Bellville-polisie deurgegee.
Die vraag is: As die gewone publiek die
handeling sien plaasvind, kan die polisie nie
met van sy personeel operasies in gewone
kleredoenomdiehandelaarsvas te vatnie?
Die handelaars ken die lede vanBellville-
polisie wat voorheen suksesvolle arresta-
sies gemaakhet,waarvanekpersoonlikken-
nis dra, het sy byvoeg.
Maj. Fienie Nimb, woordvoerder van di
polisiekantoor, erken di gebied bly n pro-
bleemarea.
Dit swel so dat die omgewingnabyPark-
sigVillas problematies is, nie net ten opsigte
van dwelms nie, maar ook prostitusie in die
omgewing.
Gereeldeklopjagte enarrestasiesword in
die omgewing gedoen en suksesse word be-
haal. Laas naweek was daar meer as 40
dwelmarrestasies gemaak, het Nimb ges.
Sy s al die inligting wat deur di inwoner
versamel is, s wel aan vorige bevelvoerders
deurgegee.
Hierdie persone is al langer as twee jaar
weg by die stasie. Dit is belangrik dat mis-
daad en misdaadtendense voortdurend on-
der die aandag van die kantoor en die stasie-
bevelvoerder gebringmoet word, het Nimb
bygevoeg.
Dis altyd goed om jou klagte skriftelik
deur te gee.
Let asseblief daaropdatklagtes op sosiale
media oor misdaad ni deur die polisie ge-
monitor word nie.

It annoys me as an animal
lover that when the circus
comes to town, the very next
day one receives in the post
box a letter from some organi-
sation condemning them for
using animals in their shows.
The circus has on average ten
wild animals which cannot be
rehabilitated in the wild
anyway.
We have in our area an
organisation called the Karoo
Animal Protection Society who
is desperately looking for help
to rescue thousands of dogs,
cats, etc. in the rural commu-
nities of SA and do so on a
volunteer basis. All monies,
time etc. go to the animals.
Maybe the municipality
should consider a license fee
for non-spayed bitches only,
that would encourage owners
to do the right thing. The
funds collected should be
directed to the various animal
welfare organisations. This
may reduce the unwanted
animal population and the
need to exterminate so many of
mans best friends.
Go onto their website at
www.kaps.org.za and read
about them. Some of the
stories and pictures will bring
tears to your eyes.
The circus at least feeds and
takes care of their animals.
They should be the least of
ones worries.

Die berig in TygerBurger,
Bellville school found to be
illegal, 6 April, verdien
kommentaar. Toe ons ons seun
verlede jaar by Dots Learning
Centre ingeskryf het op aanbe-
veling van sy knap en wyd
gerespekteerde sielkundige, was
dit duidelik by Dots Learning
Centre gestel dat hulle besig
was om te registreer by die
Wes-Kaapse Onderwysdeparte-
ment. Om te voldoen aan al die
WKOD se standaarde, neem
egter tyd (wonder hoeveel
staatskole voldoen wel hieraan)
en is ongelooflik tydrowend.
Dots Learning Centre het
aan my seun n hawe gebied
wat die sogenaamde beste
Elsen-skool in die land nie eens
kon doen nie. My seun vorder
vir die eerste keer en is
gelukkig, want unieke leerbe-
hoeftes word aangespreek. Hy
kom smiddae stokflou huis toe
want daar word gewerk. Dots
Learning Centre het 5 jaar
gelede begin met 4 leerders en
het intussen gegroei tot onge-
veer 70 leerders. Een ouer met
besware verteenwoordig beslis
nie die res van die ouers nie en
die proses van registrasie
verdien nie die etiket van
onwettig nie.
ROELOF COERTZEN

Besware van ouer

Is daar nog
gentlemen
en ladies?
So n paar dae gelede op TV s n ou oom
vir iemand: I must leave now, a gentle-
man never keeps a lady waiting. Sjoe,
dink ek, die oom het darem goeie manie-
re. Dit laat my dadelik wonder of daar
nog gentlemen en ladies is en of mense
nog goeie maniere het. Daardie maniere
wat jy by jou ouers en grootouers geleer
het. Goeie maniere soos Emsie Schoeman
sn.
As ek n verskriklike veralgemening
kan maak, reken ek dat mense ouer as 35
of 40 nog goeie maniere geleer is, maar
die jongklomp sukkel daarmee. Ek s
glad nie dat alle ouer mense goeie
maniere het of alle jongmense slegte
maniere het nie, maar dit lyk of goeie
maniere nie noodwendig meer aan die
orde van die dag is nie.
Goeie maniere beteken nie net om
asseblief en dankie te s nie dit is veel
meer. Goeie maniere beteken ook om
bedagsaam en galant te wees; om mense
met respek en
hoflikheid te
hanteer en om te
verseker dat mense
gemaklik voel in n
verskeidenheid van
situasies.
Dit beteken onder
meer om jou
kollegas te groet
wanneer jy by die
werk opdaag en
wanneer jy weer
die pad vat, en om
jou base (maar ook
jou Klase) te
respekteer. Mense
met goeie maniere gooi ook nie n
telefoon in die ander persoon se oor neer
nie, al is jy hoe kwaad. Mense met goeie
maniere skree ook nie op ander mense
nie. Dit beteken ook dat jy nie met kos in
jou mond praat nie (al sien jy dit op TV)
en dat jy jou selfoon wegpak wanneer jy
n ete-afspraak bywoon of gaan fliek.
Mense van n ander kultuur of geloof
(veral kollegas) waardeer dit baie wan-
neer jy hul geloof en kultuur respekteer
by die werk en dit wys dat jy goeie
maniere het. Iets wat sosiaal aanvaarbaar
is by n braai saam met vriende n die
rugby, is nie noodwendig sosiaal aanvaar-
baar by die werk se jaarafsluiting nie.
Goeie maniere is ook om nie die
middelvinger te wys vir die motoris wat
voor jou insny nie en ook om nie daardie
motoris te wees nie. Dit beteken ook om
te stop by n stopteken en nie te jaag
wanneer die verkeerslig na oranje toe
oorslaan nie. Goeie maniere sal jou ver
neem; en dit beteken ook dat jy nie
mense laat wag nie, al is niemand n
gentleman of n lady nie. Ben Burger

he Loevenstein crime rate has shown
a definite increase in the last quarter
of 2015 and the first twomonths of this
year.
So says Loevenstein CrimeWatch (LCW)
vice-chariperson, Charn Lingenfelder,
citing close co-operation between the Bell-
ville police and their watch since March to
reduce the crime rate.
With winter approaching and earlier,
darker nights there will be an increased
risk of criminal activities. There is hope
however in the actions of the LCW, which
played an integral role in supporting the
Loevenstein community to reduce crime
and has taken significant steps in preven-
tion of crime in the area, she adds.
One of their latest achievements is the
iWatch Project which will establish street
cameras to monitor crime in the area and
which aims to bring about early detection
of intruders or trespassers, bringing with
it a quicker response time.
TheLCWcommitteewill be hosting their
annual meeting on Thursday 14 April and
are inviting all Loevensteiners to attend.
TheAnnual GeneralMeeting (AGM)will
take place at 18:45 (for 19:00) at the Evangel-
ical Reformed Church hall on the corner of
Uys Krige Drive and Deodar Street.
The community will be updated on the
latest crime statistics, be givenmore infor-
mation on the iWatch project and be able
to give their input and voice their opinions
or ideas, says Lingenfelder.
The speaker will be Leon Brynard, who
will address issues such as community up-
liftment, municipal matters and vagrancy.
TheLCWencourages attendance at this
AGM as their success is highly dependent
on the ongoing support and input of the
community they serve, Lingenfelder
adds, encouraging Loevensteiners to regis-
ter at www.lcw.org.za to receive updates
and informationonhappenings in thearea.

GTP tackle the socio-economic problems
facing the region, including unemploy-
ment, homelessness, crime, drug abuse, ur-

Teach a child to avoid being kidnapped
M
ost parents will have taught their
children the significance of
stranger danger by the time they
can walk.
Even so, the number of children abducted
and going missing every day remains a key
concern to organisations such as the Pink
Ladies, an NGO which deals exclusively
with getting the word out when both kids
and adults go missing.
DessieRechner of the organisation recent-
ly posted a very practical guide on the orga-
nisations Facebook page that gives parents
and their children the clearest idea of what
to do in the event of stranger danger and pos-
sible abduction.
The informationwas sourced from the fol-
lowing website, Rechner said: http://
www.clickorlando.com/news/teach-your-
child-how-to-survive-an-abduction, and was
compiled by a US protection expert, the
Montgomery Texas police commander, Jim
Napolitano, for an American news channel.
Rechner copied the following information
which is as relevant to the local populace
to help children escape a child abductor in
four typical scenarios.
In scenario one a predator approaches a
child at the playground. There are others
around, but the attacker snatches the child
quickly.
The child should scream as loud and fast
as they can to attract attention, and fight,
punch, kick and claw.
They have to fight with everything they
have inside of them to get away from this
person that wants to do themharm,Napoli-
tano is quoted as saying.
In scenario two the child enters an empty
house with no one around and is attacked
by a predator.
The key here is to escape. Because the
child is alone, there is no one to scream out
to. To do that, Napolitano said the child
needs to use the most powerful weapon he
or she has: their teeth.
Here, the child needs to bite down on the
attackers arm, hand or leg as hard as they
possibly can. The human bite is one of the
most devastating things that can happen to
you physically. There can be no mercy; the
child must get away, Napolitano said.
The best way to escape? Fight, bite, flee.
In scenario three the child is walking
home from the bus stop. Other children and
parents are in the area when the child is at-
tacked and grabbed by an abductor.
The key to survival here, Napolitano said,
is to make as much noise as possible to alert
the parents nearby.
Ideally, the child would have a whistle
hooked onto his or her book bag that the
child could blow. Without that the childs
best bet is to scream like they have never
screamed before.
They have to alert everyone in the area
that they are in trouble, and that means
screaming a blood-curdling scream that will
get someones attention, Napolitano said.

he WhatsApp group a neighbourhood
watch in Durbanville created for
emergencies soon resulted in a crimi-
nal being arrested on the spot.
On Monday 4 April, a resident sent out
an emergency chat to say that someone
who had jumped a wall stole a bicycle, and
called for assistance on the WhatsApp
group created by the Sonstraal Neighbour-
hood Watch (SNW).
Within a very short time, a number of
residents on the chat group responded and
the culprit was apprehended, said Stan
Hauptfleisch, chairperson of SNW.
Both the police and CDF [Corporate De-
fence Force], a security firm operating in
the neighbourhood, were advised and CDF
then took the suspect into custody, he
said.
The SNW recently set up this group for
emergency situations when help was re-
quired immediately, as well as community
chat where members could chat on any
matter which could be of relevance to the
community.
The SNWhelps to make the community
aware of what is happening in the neigh-
bourhood and to report any suspicious be-
haviour. Especially the emergency group
has shown to be highly effective inmobilis-
ing assistance in need and is easily accessi-
ble to most people with smart phone tech-
nology, he said.
Following this successful arrest, the
SNW was inundated with requests from
residents to be added to the emergency chat
group and to date it boasts a membership
of 174 participants, Hauptfleisch said.
However, the neighbourhood watch cov-
ers 362 houses in Sonstraal fromPierneef
Street in the north, Bethanie in the west,
De Villiers Avenue in the south and Fair-
trees Road in the east.
It has 119 members who patrol the area
in their cars and are the eyes of the police
and other security companies, he said.

The Miggie Challenge will once again take
place on Wednesday 27 April at the Paarl
damto raise funds andawareness for cystic
fibrosis and organ donation.
This family event with the only rule that
you must have fun, is hosted by the Cape
Town Angling Club (CTAC), of which 85%
of its members are based in the northern
suburbs.
TheMiggie Challengewas started in 2014
as a fun event to celebrate the 21st birthday
of Stefan Miggie King from Brackenfell,
awell loved angler in the fishingworldwho
suffered from cystic fibrosis. He passed
away two months after the Miggie Chal-
lenge was founded.
CTAC has since made the competition
an annual event to honour the life and posi-
tive spirit of Stefan, says Miggies father,
Malcolm King, chairperson of the CTAC.
This year the funds raised are in aid of
DamianWolf (19) from FishHoek, whowas
diagnosed at the age of 13.
Cystic fibrosis is a life-threatening ge-
netic disease that causes persistent lung in-
fections and progressively limits the abili-
ty to breathe. In the lungs, the mucus clogs
the airways and traps bacteria leading to
infections, extensive lung damage and
eventually, respiratory failure. There is no
cure for cystic fibrosis, says King.
Cystic fibrosis patients have a short life
expectancy with many prolonged stays in
hospitalmaking themput their life onhold.
