A
proposal for the temporary storage of
dry casks at the Koeberg nuclear power
station was a hot topic at a meeting last
week.
The proposal, which is currently undergo-
ing an environmental impact assessment
(EIA) process, was discussed at the Koeberg
public safety information forum.
According to the background document, Es-
kom has proposed the construction of a Tran-
sient interim storage facility (TISF) for the
temporary storage of dry casks at theKoeberg
nuclear power station (KNPS) to accommo-
date used nuclear fuel from the reactors for
the operational life of the power station.
The document explains that used fuel as-
semblies from the nuclear reactors are stored
in spent fuel pools (SFPs) within KNPS. But
as these pools near capacity, additional stor-
age is required.
The document states that Unit 1 will have
filled its pool byMarch 2018 andUnit 2 by Sep-
tember 2018.
As the SFPs reaching their capacity, addi-
tional space is created bymoving the pools in-
to dry storage casks.
In his presentation, power station manager
Riedewaan Bakardien explained Eskom had
been working on the project for three years
and a contract was placed for themanufactur-
ing of the casks. Several questionswere posed
about what the temporary storage entailed.
Im worried about the temporary storage.
Is it temporary for six months or 40 years? At
a nuclear power station I dont think we want
to do anything temporary. I want to under-
stand why nuclear power stations are storing
spent fuel on site, one person asked.
In response Bakardien explained it was a
well established practice in the industry.
Maybe this is something we want to come
back to and engage a little bit more, he said
before proposing a presentation be done at the
next forum meeting.

A Parklands woman was robbed in her
home last week and the perpetrators alleg-
edly used a duvet to prevent her fromseeing
them.
Table View police said the incident oc-
curred just after 11:00 on Tuesday 24 No-
vember. According to police spokesperson
Lieutenant Adriana Chandler the woman
was inside herCoventClose homewhen she
was surprised by two men who entered the
property after scaling a perimeter wall and
gained access through an unlocked door.
She says the men covered the woman
with a duvet and demanded to know where
the safe was and asked for the combination.
The complainant showed them the safe,
but did not know the combination to the
safe and the suspects used a hammer they
found in the garage to open the safe. The
contents of the safe were removed and the
suspects fled the scene. They were not
armed and were not disguised.
At this stage it is unknown if a vehicle
wasused or inwhich direction themen fled.
The Parklands resident was not injured
during the incident.

According to a report the
man entered a house in Er-
ica Road onTuesday 25Au-
gust at 13:00 and threaten-
ed a female resident with a

OReilly says the suspect
demanded the woman
hand over her cellphone
before fleeing the scene.
The woman was not in-
jured.
The suspect is de-
scribed as a black male be-
tween the age of 20 and 30.
He is average in height and

M
ilnerton police have issued a stern
warning for residents to hand over
unlicensed firearms.
This follows the arrest of a 34-year-old
man from Sunset Beach last weekend.
According to a report, Milnerton police
along with the Western Cape Flying Squad
swooped in on the mans home at about
14:00 onFriday 27November following a tip-
off about unlicensed firearms stored at the
house.
During a searchpolice discovered four as-
sault rifles, one .38 special revolver and am-
munition. The occupant of the house had no
licences for these firearms and ammuni-
tion.
Cluster commander Brigadier Aneeqah
Jordaan says residents in possession of un-
licensed firearms should rather hand in the
firearms than keep them unlawfully.
If a family member passes away and he
or she owned a firearm, these firearms
should be handed in at the nearest police
station until the completion of the estate,
he says.
This is once again an example of good co-
operation between the community and po-
lice.

After months of investigation, the man who
is infamously known as Tandjies has been
arrested in Atlantis.
According to a report by Melkbosstrand
police, theAtlantismanhasbeenarrested for
three house break-ins and one case of theft
in Melkbosstrand.
Police spokesperson Constable Debbie Al-
lard says detectives have been hard at work
to arrest the man who has evaded arrest for
several months. Detectives visited several
homes in Atlantis where he was believed to
be as he had no fixed address, and left their
contact details requesting residents to con-
tact them if the man was spotted.
Allard says for months officers grinded
their teeth as the man sent taunting SMSes
claiming the police would never catch him.
What made this case interesting is that
Tandjies would then SMS the detectives and
send cheeky messages. He also got others to
call the police claiming to be his lawyers.
His photograph has been circulated in re-
cent weeks and officers of the Atlantis crime
prevention unit managed to track him down.
He appeared in the Atlantis Magistrates
Court last week.

According to the background document, the
project will include three phases and the
TISF will be constructed on vacant land
within KNPS. It proposes that construction
of this facility will consist of a concrete pad
onto which up to 160 dry storage casks can
be placed.
It further states that construction will
commence in 2018 and is set to be complete
in 12 months.
Used fuel assemblies will be loaded into
casks at the reactor unit fuel buildings and
transferred to the TISF in batches. The se-
quence of loading and transferring one dry
storage cask to the TISF will take approxi-
mately 10 working days.
Eskomhas identified six potential sites for
the TISFwhich have been evaluated and the
document lists two sites as viable options.
The first site is located north of KNPS
while the second site is located along the
southern boundary of KNPS.
VA publicmeeting on the proposal was held in Octo
ber and the document outlines the next steps in the
EIA process. To view the document visit

Newplan to talk about violence
MONIQUE DUVAL
@monique_duval
A
newplan to raise awareness about the
abuse ofwomenand children is on the
cards following a low turnout at an
event in Table View last week.
The launch of the 16 Days of activism for
no violence against women and children
held at the Kingsgate Church last week saw
less than 15 residents attend. The event was
aimed at raising awareness about various
types of abuse, the effects and the possible
legal implications.
In his address Table View station com-
mander Colonel Dirk Vosloo said the turn-
out was disappointing and questioned
whether Table View residents had their
head in the sand.
Following a presentation by Vilikazi
Khatshwa of the Womens Legal Centre, a
60-year-old Table View woman made a des-
perate plea for help. She gave a spine chill-
ing account of abuse at the hands of her hus-
band and said while she had followed the
legal processes to obtain a protection order
it was revoked when she went to court.
Protection order thrown out
Iwasmarriedandhadaprotectionorder
which went to the Table View police in De-
cember 2013. I have been through themagis-
trates and courts and he comes in and fights
with the attorney. Hewalks out of court and
they threw outmy protection order.My son
and Iwere thrownon the streets. I have pho-
tographs of my beaten body. I have been
raped five times as a child. Im standing
here today a broken woman.
Khatshwa thanked the woman for her
braveryandopted to speak toher inprivate.
In her key note address, Milnerton police
cluster commanderBrigadierAneeqah Jor-
daan expressed her disappointment at the
turnout and explained Table View was cho-
sen due to the number of assault cases.
During an interviewwithTygerBurger in
August, Vosloo explained police were going
back to the drawing board to develop strate-
gies to address assault cases.
Following a steady increase sinceMay he
explained while property related crime has
shown a decrease, the increase of contact
crimes, mostly common assault, has police
worried. The cases were widespread across
the precinct making it difficult for police to
host interventions in a specific area.
If the assaultswere occurring in one spe-
cific area or sector, it would be easy for us
to host a workshop in that area explaining
the dangers of assaulting someone. With
this trend, however, it is across all sectors
and not confined to a specific area. The cas-
es vary so much from a domestic violence
incident to a fight between tenants of a com-
plex over parking, he said at the time.
Police found out when called to murder
In her address, Jordaan explained the na-
tional campaign was aimed at highlighting
the effects of abuse and domestic violence
while providing women and children with
the help they need.
Community Police Forum chairperson David Harris, Colonel Dirk Vosloo, Vilikazi Khatshwa of the
Womens Legal Centre and Brigadier Aneeqah Jordaan light candles for those affected by abuse.

It is sad to see the few people who are
here. We chose this area because our statis-
tics show we have a problem here.
Jordaan encouraged the few who did re-
spond to start talking and reporting cases
of domestic violence and explained police
often only find out about the problem when
they are called to a murder scene.
The cluster has also embarked on a whis-
tle campaign to assist women who are vul-
nerable when going to work. The whistles
have been handed out in various communi-
ties where women walk to bus stops and
they are encouraged to blow the whistle
when they are in danger.
Jordaan explained police will now visit
various religious institutions and speak di-
rectly to residents to spread theword on the
campaign.

Community to tackle drugs
MONIQUE DUVAL
@monique_duval
S
he was a beautiful, helpful girl who
made some bad choices. But just a few
days before her death she made a plea
for help.
This is the story relayed by Summer
Greens residents last week during a vigil
held for resident Nicola de Goede in Emer-
ald Way Park. They explain that De Goede,
a known drug user, died recently shortly
after she was found between two houses
during a community march.
Thought she was dead
Initially they thought she was dead, but
when they realised she was still alive she
was rushed to hospital where she passed
away.
As the sun set over Summer Greens on
Tuesday 24 November, tears fell as resi-
dents made heartfelt pleas for the drug
problem to be tackled. Residents lit candles
and stood with photographs of De Goede,
more fondly known as Nicky. They reflect-
ed on her life and shared stories in a park
which has become synonymous with drug
use.
The vigil was organised by resident
Bridgette Lloyd who explained Nicky went
to school with her daughter and was well
known in the community. During her ad-
dress, she explained many Summer Greens
families were facing adversity as children
got hooked on drugs.
Nicky came to me before she died and
told me she had a stroke. She wanted help;
she wanted to go to rehab. We were getting
ready to get her into a place when I heard
she had died. She was everyones child and
this could have happened to anyone. We
must come together and find a way to ad-
dress the issues that are plaguing our com-
munity.
Hope in her eyes
Two women shared their stories of chil-
dren who are addicted to drugs and Gary
Jacobs, chairperson of the Summer Greens
Neighbourhood Watch (SGNHW), made a
plea for residents to assist the watch.
I knew Nicky from the streets and when
I spoke to her I could see there was hope in
her eyes. This is very sad but we need to
unite and start lookingat thedrugproblems
in this community. My request is that you
standupandkeepyour community safe and
help us put a stop to all the drugs.
When you see people by the train line,
report it. We know what they do there and
we must start reporting the crime and the
drugs if we want to keep our children safe.
Twomen and awoman, who residents ex-
plain are Nickys friends, were spotted
among the crowd. Thewomanwalked to the
front crowd and said she was saddened by
Nickys passing.
Shewas a very good friend; very helpful.
You know we are all on drugs, but its hard
to stop because we dont have family sup-
port, she said as tears ran down her face.
A former gangster also came up to ad-
dress the crowd and said Nickys death
should be a catalyst for change in Summer
Greens.

A
new proposal for a community skate
park in Melkbosstrand has been ta-
bled. The project was first started by
resident Jaci Butler who wanted to create
a safe place for children to skate.
Speaking to TygerBurger in May, Butler
explained after her daughters friend was
involved in an accident during 2014, she re-
alised the lack of a safe facility puts chil-
dren and teenagers in danger.
In June she got the ball rolling and con-
sulted with the Melkbosstrand Ratepayers
Association (MRA) about having the skate
parkat theCountryClub.Butler alsohosted
the first fundraiser for the project in June.
However, in September residents were
informed Butler had passed away and her
daughters would be continuing the project.
During the establishment of Minitown,
owner Luke Shadrach explained they iden-
tified a skate park as a possible activity.
We did some research and were told a pro-
posal had already been tabled. Wemet with
theMRA and explained we had land availa-
ble. They were enthusiastic about the skate
park being erected at Minitown as it is an
established play park, he says.
Shadrach says available land is only one
component as there aremany things to con-
sider for the new park. Keeping in line with
whatButler set out to achieve, Shadrach ex-
plains the park will be managed as a com-
munity centre where a small tariff will be
charged for the upkeep of the park.
We decided on utilising the area close to
the tennis courts as it is visible from the
street. We envisaged an area where teens
can come and enjoy skating in a safe envi-
ronmentwhile the rest of the family partici-
pates in various other activities.
During her interview, Butler explained
the estimated cost of the skate park was
R3m and she was working on registering
the park as a non-profit organisation.
Shadrach explains as the location had
changed, estimatesmayvary. At this point
we are still in the early changes and need
thosewith expertise to assist uswith the de-
sign and estimates of what the project will
cost. In my meeting with the MRA we were
informed that the association was still in
possession of funds raised earlier which
will go towards the new skate park.
Located along a MyCiTi bus route, Sha-
drach believed a skate park could help
bring children from surrounding commu-
nities to enjoy Melkbosstrand.

NewMyCiTi busesmalfuntioning
MONIQUE DUVAL
@monique_duval
T
he malfunctioning of a new fleet of My-
CiTi buses is in the spotlight after a
Parklands man got injured when a
ramp failed to deploy.
Earlier this month commuters raised
their concerns about the new 18m Scania
buses claiming they were problematic since
first instituted in July.
Ross Halstead said on Tuesday 17 Novem-
ber hewas about to board a bus from theCiv-
ic Centre to Table View. While standing in
line he noticed one of the doors was not
working and walked to the next one.
The platform failed to come out and I
missed the step and fell through. I had a big
cut on my leg and was in pain and shock.
Halstead says other commuters helped
him and he got onto the bus. He found the
nearest seat and tried to recover when he
was approached by a security guard.
She wanted to inform the driver of what
happened and I said I would just need a mo-
ment to recover. I was shakenup. The driver
started driving and everyone shouted for
him to stop because there was an injured
commuter on the bus.
Halstead explains he was not happy for
what happened next. He says the driver
stepped up to him and appeared hung over.
He was poorly and messily dressed. His
shirt was hanging out and his eyes were red.
Whenwe told him the platform did not come
out he started to scream and told us it wasnt
his fault that the buses werent working.
Halstead says the conduct of the driver
added to this traumatic experience and he
opted to report the matter to the City.
City of Cape Town Mayco member for
transport Brett Herron confirms the case
was reported to the Transport information
centre (TIC) and the matter had been re-
ferred toKidrogen, thevehicle operat-
ing company, for further investiga-
tion.
Responding to questions posed by
TygerBurger about remedial action to
fix the bus involved in the incident,
Herron says the vehicle operating
companies are obliged to test the fleet
of MyCiTi buses eachmorning before
the buses start operating to ensure
that the doors and ramps function as
they should.
Malfunctions may and will some-
times happen during the course of op-
erations. The Scania buses are brand
new and whenever a fault relates to
amanufacturing default, the supplier
is obliged to fix it.
He says during a trip along the T01
trunk route, City officials established
that at certain times the ramps on the
18-metre high-floor buses hesitate
because of the angle of deployment
when it catches on the mat.
It is during this delay that the pas-
sengers become frustrated and press
the emergency buttons, causing the
doors to open. When something like
this happens, the passengers forcing
themselves out might not be aware
that the ramp has not deployed yet
andmay step into the gap between the
bus and the station/stop. There were
some instances when the ramp tried to de-
ploy and then retracted, he said. When this
happens, the bus doors will not open.
We have subsequently proposed some in-
terventions and actions and we are working
with the bus suppliers in rectifying these.
Another test run will be conducted once
these actions have been completed to see the
effect of the adjustments.
Asked why this fleet was operational
when the City was aware of malfunctions,
Herron says: Each day there are over 20 000
door openings and ramp deployments on the
MyCiTi trunk routes alone and the limited
number of failures must be seen in this con-
text. We do all we can to limit the door and
ramp failures to theminimumand have tak-
enaction. However, due to thehighnumber
of door openings and ramp deployments it
is impossible to guarantee that there will
never be any failure in future, saysHerron.
Consequently, we request passengers to
be cautious when boarding and alight-
ing the buses station staff will be re-
laying this to passengers in future.
In an earlier article, Herron referred
to concerns about malfunctions as
teething problems, but commuters say
until these issues are resolved the bus-
es shouldnotbeoperatingas their safe-
ty is being compromised.
Herron says the MyCiTi service is
safe and affordable.
The number of incidents relating to
the bus doors and ramps are minus-
cule if one bears inmind that there are
over 20 000 door openings and ramp de-
ployments on theMyCiTi trunk routes
alone each day.
For Halstead, the issue is not min-
uscule, and he says after incurring
medical costs he will be seeking com-
pensation from the City.
A friend took me to the hospital
where I received stitches on my leg. I
also hurt my tibia and coccyx in the
fall, he says.
Responding to questions about the
bus drivers alleged conduct, Herron
explains MyCiTi bus drivers are com-
pelled to report all incidents to the ve-
hicle operating company.
He also says Halstead did not report
the alleged abusive conduct.
MyCiTi personnel should be polite
and helpful to all commuters at all times and
Iwant to request commuters to please report
any abusive or untoward behaviour to the
Transport information centre on 0800 65 64
53. This will enable the vehicle operating
company or stationmanagement contractor
to take action, if needed, against any staff
member who is in breach of the code of con-
duct for MyCiTi personnel.

opinion to [email protected].

Coffee lovers will have the opportunity to
help change theworld on Change Coffee Day
(Friday 4 December) at The FUE coffee shop
in Table View.
On the day customers can buy two coffees
and get one, while the cost of the second cup
funds programmes for underprivileged and
vulnerable children in South Africa.
While this initiative is predominantly run
in Australia this year, South Africa is sure
to follow full steam ahead next year. Early
on the band wagon and part of three cafs
in South Africa to get on board is boutique-
style The FUE coffee shop in Table View, Sa-
cred Ground in Franschhoek and Starlings
Cafe in Claremont.
Change Coffee is a fundraising initiative
for the non-profit organisation Eniwe Chil-
drens Fund, which aims to improve the
lives of abandonedandunderprivileged chil-
dren through housing, feeding and skills de-
velopment initiatives in South Africa.
Born and raised in South Africa, Robyn
Borruso founded Eniwe Childrens Fund in
Sydney, Australia after first-hand witness-
ing the struggles endured by children or-
phaned or made vulnerable in South Africa.
Alleviating poverty is not a task of chari-
ty, but an act of justice, said Robyn.
Food, water, shelter, good health and an
education are the birth right of all children.
I was humbled and inspired by the chil-
drens warmth and affection and decided I
had to do something to help improve their
lives.

A
37-year-old Parklands man appeared
in court this week after being caught
with gold pellets of R50 000.
According to a report fromMilnerton po-
lice, the man was driving a Peugeot and,
acting on information, undercover officers
approached the man at a shopping centre
in Milnerton on Thursday 26 November.
Police spokesperson Warrant Officer
Daphne OReilly says the officer identified
himself using his appointment certificate,
but the suspect did not believe him and
agreed to follow the officers to the police
station. While driving behind the suspect,
he threw something out of the vehicle and
officers found a box of gold pellets to the
value of around R55 420.
The suspect fromParklandswas arrest-
ed and charged with unlawful possession
of gold.Heappeared in theCapeTownMag-
istrates Court this week.
In a report for the Milnerton cluster
which consists of various police stations
including Milnerton, Table View and
Melkbosstrand, 78 houses were searched
for drugs and 84 drug-related arrests exe-
cuted. During these operations just over
130 grams of tik, 4 218 grams of dagga and
116 mandrax tablets were confiscated.
There were 15 arrests for crimes com-
mitted against women and children. One
roadblock was held where 29 fines to the
value of R20 800 were issued. Management
applauded all officers who contributed to
the successes of the cluster.

Verwag langer toue in voertuiglisensi-
ringskantore in Desember as gewoonlik.
Een van die redes hiervoor, s Ian Neil-
son, uitvoerende onderburgemeester van
Kaapstad, is dat motoriste sedert 1 Novem-
ber ook n bewys van hul adres moet saam-
neem om hul lisensies te kan hernu.
Verder is geen voertuiglisensie-aanslae
virDesemberuitgereiknie.Die feit datmo-
toriste al vir maande lank nie hierdie ken-
nisgewings ontvang nie, is n nasionale
probleem, s Neilson. Hy s die rede is dat
die oordrag van die elektroniese admini-
strasie-verkeersinligtingstelsel (eNaTIS)
van die nasionale verkeersdepartement na
die padverkeersbestuursentrum (RTMC)
nog nie vaartbelyn is nie. Neilson s die
Stad doen alles in sy vermo om dit virmo-
toriste maklik te maak om hul lisensies te
hernu. Motoriste wie se lisensies op 30 No-
vember verval het, kan dit nog tot 22 De-
sember hernu sonder ombeboet teword en
di wie sn op 31 Desember verval, kan dit
nog tot 22 Januarie boetevry hernu. Ons
vra motoriste om pro-aktief op te tree en
hulself te vergewis van die vervaldatums
op hul lisensieskyfies en om, waar moont-
lik, hernuwings aanlyn te doen, s hy.
Neilson s dit is op die oomblik die besig-
ste tyd van die jaar in munisipale kantore.

I received a phone call from one
Ingrid at Oude Libertas to let
me know that I was one of the
lucky winners of a double ticket
to the Kurt Darren concert,
which was held at the Oude
Libertas Amphitheatre on
Sunday 29 November.
I wanted to say a big thank
you to TygerBurger and Oude
Libertas for sponsoring this
wonderful concert.
It was the first time that my
husband and I had visited this
stunning open air theatre,
which is situated in such a
spectacular setting. The seating
was great and the sound really
good as well, and we will
definitely be attending further
concerts at this venue.
We were so lucky that the
weather was absolutely fantastic
maybe even a little bit on the
hot side, and poor Kurt was
really sweating.
We thoroughly enjoyed
listening to Kurt singing all his
various hits, together with some
new numbers, and also getting

LEWENSKIEKIE
Is daar iewers
n sege op die
SA horison?
Kyk n mens as Suid-Afrikaner terug op
die jaar 2015, word jy nie noodwendig
oorweldig met positiewe gedagtes nie.
Trouens, die woord verloor het net
hopeloos te veel opgeduik.
Op die ekonomiese front was Eskom
die groot rede vir die groeikoers om
stoom te verloor, die rand het sy waarde
verloor en die SAL verloor hope belas-
tingsbetalersgeld.
Wat die omgewing betref, verloor ons
land water met beurtwater ons voor-
land en verloor renosters steeds hul
horings en lewens teen n ongekende
tempo. Boonop verloor boere in droogte-
geteisterde gebiede hul oeste.
In die kommunikasie-omgewing verloor
dag- en Sondagkoerante hul lesers en
Afrikaans moet hard baklei om nie sy
status as hor onderrigtaal te verloor nie.
Met gemiddeld 49 mense wat per dag
in SA vermoor word, het die polisie
lankal sy greep op misdaad verloor.
Op sportterrein gaan dit nie veel beter
nie. Die Proteas verloor in Indi, die
Bokke teen Japan en nou ook hul borge
en die Stormers verloor Eddie Jones
nog voor hy as afrigter begin het.
Selfs op die vermaaklikheidsgebied
verloor een van ons uitvoerprodukte,
Trevor Noah, kykers op sy Daily Show in
die VSA.
En om alles te kroon het ons immerlag-
gende president lankal sy geloofwaardig-
heid verloor.
Gaan ons in die nuwe jaar aanhou
verloor, of is daar iewers n sege op die
horison?

ie immergewilde Andr Schwartz is
een van die vier sangers wat vanjaar
saam met n simfonie-orkes en mas-
sakoor in Klassieke Kersfees gaan optree.
Andr, wat in Johannesburg bly, het die
afgelopepaar jaarmin opgetree, dus isSon-
dag 13 Desember n baie spesiale gebeurte-
nis.Hydeel die aanddieverhoogmetKevin
Leo, Jannie Moolman en Corlea Botha.
Hy het aan die begin van die jaar saam
met n skoolkoor opgetree en by die tweede
liedjie die mense op hul voete gehad. Dit is
toe dat ons besluit het hy moet weer begin
optree, vertel June du Toit, wat Andr se
bemarking hanteer.
TygerBurger, een van die borge van die
konsert, het vir Andr n paar vrae gevra:
1. Waarmee is jy deesdae besig?
Behalwe vir my voltydse werk as eie-
naar van n suksesvolle bemarkingsmaat-
skappy, Andr Schwartz Marketing (wat
nie musiekbemarking is nie), enmy besige
konserttoerprogram, is ek baie opgewonde
oor my eie platemaatskappy, Gmmmf, wat
pas gestig is en die nuwe CD waarmee ek
besig is. Ek is ook hart en siel betrokke by
die werk van twee NPOs.
2. Dis jou eerste keer byKlassieke Kers-
fees. Sien jyuitdaarnaomsaammetJan-
nie, Kevin en Corlea te sing?
Ek sien ongelooflik uit en voel gevlei
oor die voorreg wat my te beurt val.
3. Wat is jou mooiste kinderherinne-
ring van Kersfees?
My pa is oorlede toe ek 13 jaar oud was.
My herinneringe aan Kersfees saam met
Pa en Ma bly die beste en mooiste nog!
4. Waar gaan jy di Kersfees wees?
Ek het n baie bedrywige Desember,
met my laaste vertoning vanjaar op 20 De-
sember. Daarna wil ek terug huis toe om
Kersfees by familie deur te bring, waarna
ekmyself gaan bederf met n lekker vakan-
sie in die Kaap saam met hartsvriende.
. Klassieke Kersfees vind op Sondag 13
Desember in die Liqui-Fruit-amfiteater in
die Paarl plaas.
Die gehoor kan n samestelling van ge-
wilde Kersliedere en populre klassieke
nommers soos All I Ask of You, O Holy
Night, Pie Jesu, AveMaria enMarys
Boy Child verwag, asook n paar Andrew
Lloyd Webber-treffers en n paar liedjies
van Jannie en Corlea se nuwe album, Alle
paaie lei na Rome. Hulle word begelei deur
n simfonie-orkes en n massakoor.
Die opelug-venue, een van die mooistes
in die land, is die ideale plek om Kersfees
te vier, so kom sommer vroeg en koop iets
te ete en te drinke by die wye verskeiden-
heid kos- en wynstalletjies.

The Western Province Blood Transfusion
Service (WPBTS) is looking for 2 750 heroes
who are willing to register as blood donors
as the December holiday rapidly approach-
es.
And theWPBTS ismaking it easy and fun
for those heroes to come forwardwith an in-
teractive #KeepTheBeatGoing campaign
across Facebook and Twitter.
This campaign invites South Africans to
participate by enrolling as blooddonors and
then submitting short, creative videos on
Twitter and challenging friends to do the
same.
Potential donors are invited to Sing it,
strum it, bang it, hit it, hum it or clap it,
the campaign says, encouraging people to
submit selfie video clips, stating that they
are keeping the beat going by registering as
donors.
Use the hashtags #KeepTheBeatGoing
and #WPBlood and be sure to tag a friend
who youd like to challenge next, says
WPBTS spokespersonMarlize van derMer-
we.
Less than 1,5% ofWestern Cape residents
are registered blood donors and according
to the WPBTS, this number has to rise to
3,5% just to meet the December demand.
Were inviting everyone to join in. You
dont need to be musical to submit a clip,
and if youre already registered as a donor,
thats great too, as you can still help to raise
awareness and challenge those around you
to enrol as donors in a fun and light-hearted
way, says Van der Merwe.
She says this campaign reflects the real-
time donor enrolment progress and poten-
tial lives saved in a central dashboard.
The beat videos will be showcased on
the campaign website, where those in the
Western Cape can also enrol as donors.
WPBTS needs a minimum of 2 750 donors
by January 2016 to meet the donor base
goals.

@erasmusesme
n
Ma van Durbanville en haar twee
jong kinders het ter nouer dood ont-
kom toe n dwaalkoel van n .375-jag-
geweer deur die dak van hul huis in Uitzicht
in Durbanville gedring en n muur in die
kombuis getref het.
Deliz Donaldson (29) het haar kinders uit
die oopplankombuis en leefkamer, waar sy
staan en kos maak het, na die badkamer ge-
neem om daar in die koue badwater te speel
omdat dit so warm was.
Enkele oomblikke later het sy die geweldi-
ge slag gehoor.
Donaldson was op 24 Oktober tussen 13:00
en 14:00 tuis by hul huis in Valenciastraat
met haar kinders, onderskeidelik 2 en 4 jaar
oud, toe die koel die muur bokant die eet-
toonbank getref het presies daar waar sy
enkeleminute tevore staan en kosmaak het.
Dit was net Godsgeluk dat ons nie meer
daar in die kombuis was nie, vertel sy.
Ek het dadelik gaan kyk wat in die kom-
buis gebeur het. Ek het gedink iets het in die
oond ontplof of in een van die ruite vasge-
vlieg.
Eers toe haar man tuiskom, het hy die gat
bo in die muur raakgesien. Met nadere on-
dersoek het hulle eers stukkies sement op
die vloer gekry en toe die koel.
Die koel, waarvan net die voorste punt
gevind is, was so groot soos n AA-batte-
ry. Dit het n gat so groot soos n R5-munt-
stuk in hul dak gelaat. Die diepte van die
koel in die muur is 10 tot 15 mm.
Sy vermoed dat die koel moontlik by die
Durbanville-skietbaan afgevuur is, maar
daar is geen bewyse nie.
Ek dink die skietbaan is te naby aan die
huise. Ek wil mense hiervan bewus maak,
het sy gemaan.
Sy is nou bekommerd omdat sy nog niks
weer vandieDurbanville-polisie daaroor ge-
hoor het nie.
Lt. kol. Marius Swanepoel van die Dur-
banville-polisie, wat die saak ondersoek, het
hierop ges dis blote spekulasie oorwaar die
koel vandaan kom, omdat die koel deur
enigeen afgevuur kon gewees het.
Die koel is weggestuur vir ballistiese
toetse.
Hy het ges die saakword in n baie ernsti-
ge lig beskou, maar dat ballistiese toetse n
rukkie duur.
Ons ondersoek die saak. Ballistiese toet-
se is op die toneel gedoen, maar die uitslag
daarvan is nog nie bekend nie, het hy ges.
Wat egter wel seker is, is dat dit iemand
se dood kon veroorsaak het.
TygerBurger het in sy argief gelees dat n
renoster met n .375-geweer doodgeskiet kan
word. Swanepoel het gewaarsku dat mense
onder geen omstandighede n vuurwapen in
n woongebied moet afvuur nie, omdat dit
mense se dood kan veroorsaak as hulle deur
n dwaalkoel getref word.

n
Splinternuwe toep (app), wat sedert

frustrasie met kinderonvriendelike kuier-
plekke en aktiwiteite.
Deur slegs aan die

raak, sal jy inligting
kan kry oor n hele rits
kindervriendelike akti-
witeite; ook oor wat

Tanya Badenhorst
(32), n oud-leerder van
Horskool Stellenberg
wat aan die Hor Mei-
sieskool Paarl gematri-
kuleer het, s sy het
nooit besef hoeveel
daar in Durbanville is
om te doen nie hier
reg onder my neus.
Durbanville is n ge-
sinsvriendelike dorp
en gemeenskap vir al-
mal, met winkelsen-
trums, perderitte, wyn-
plase en staproetes wat
wag om ontdek te word.
Ons moes egter gro-
tendeels op ons eie ont-
dekkingsreise endie so-
siale media staatmaak om plekke te vind
waar ons as n klomp mammas of n gesin
kon saamkuier.
Moederskap kom met n hand vol uitda-
gings. n Mens vind soms die dinge wat jy
eers geniet het, raak n straf eerder as ont-
spanning, s sy. Soos die keer toe sy met
haar maandoue baba Moedersdag in Simon-
stad gaan vier het. Dit was n sonnige dag
en alles het volgens plan verloop. Binne n
oogwink het dinge egter skielik verander
met my tweejarige wat van die klouterraam
afval, kos wat bedien word en n baba wat
tegelykertyd gevoed moet word.
Ekmoesmyself uit die situasie verwyder
omvirmybaba op n kalmplek te sorg,maar
die karwas snikhete ge-
bak en daar was geen
voedingsgeriewe in die
restaurant se kleedka-
mers nie. My suster het
nogal voorgestel ek
gaan sit op die toilet en
voed, wat my glad nie
aangestaan het nie.
Die restaurant het
geen noodhulptoerus-
ting beskikbaar gehad
nie enmymamoes hulp
soek by die naaste ap-
teek, terwyl my man
troos en die ander se
kos koud raak.
Hoewel dit een van
ons gunsteling-eetplek-
ke is, was dit skielik
duidelik net nie geskik
vir n gesin met ons sa-
mestelling nie, vertel
sy.
Soos enige entrepre-
neursonderneming het
ons n probleem geden-
tifiseer en n oplossing
probeer vind. Sy het
haar idee met vriende soos Cecile van der
Merwe, LidaVlok, CarlienMurray enNadia
Hogan bespreek, en hulle was almal baie po-
sitief oor die gedagte. Ons het begin deur
navorsing te doen oor plekkewaar ouers wil
kuier en dan tweedens wat hulle verwag
daar moet wees. Hiervolgens het ons drie
kriteria saamgestel, naamlik babavriende-
lik (0 tot 2 jaar), peutervriendelik (3 tot 5
jaar) en kindervriendelik (6 tot 12 jaar).
Ons het begin met n mammaforum,
maar vinnig besef ouerskap gaan oor meer
as net mammas. Met hedendaagse onder-
steunende pappas wil hulle dalk ook soms
alleen die kinders uitvat.
Hiervoor het ons sommer n lekker snor-
ikoon gebruik om onder andere aan te dui
dat pappas dit sal geniet, dat daar byvoor-
beeld n algemene area is vir dinge soos doe-
ke ruil en dit dus nie net in die vrouebadka-
mers beskikbaar is nie. As jy byvoorbeeld
Craft-bier wil gaan geniet en jy het kinders
tussen 3 en 5 jaar, klik jy net ophierdie spesi-
fieke ikone en die toepassing sal n lys voor-
stelle in jou omgewing gee.
