    DESIRE RORKE

    Despite a desperate outcry by re-sidents, the City of Cape Town re-cently decided that they will notbe erecting a permanent speedcamera on Okavango Road, bet-ween the N1 and Frans ConradieDrive.

    This, despite the admission by sa-fety and security portfolio commit-tee chairperson, Councillor CarinBrynard that this road is used as

    a racetrack and needs intensive mo-nitoring.

    Application for traffic cameraswas made in August last year byMaritz van Jaarsveld, who lives inclose proximity to the road, whileongoing concerns were raisedabout this road.

    According to Van Jaarsveld, mo-torists and motorcyclists on a dailybasis exceed the formal 60km/hspeed limit on the 1km stretch of ro-ad.

    The contempt for traffic rules on

    this road is indescribable, and so isthe noise which results from the ex-cessive speeding, he said in a for-mal complaint to the Bergdal Sub-council.

    In a subsequent email to city offi-cials, Brynard, who is also the wardcouncillor in this area, requestedtraffic cameras for this area.

    According to Van Jaarsveld, tem-porary speed traps on the road isnot effective as traffic personnel isvisible from any approach to thisroad.

    In a more recent request, anotherresident, Freddy Erasmus sharesVan Jaarsvelds sentiment and sta-ted in a separate complaint to thesubcouncil: It is shocking how mo-torists speed over this intersection(Frans Conradie and Okavango).There has to be a way to stopthisWhat I ask is that a perma-nent traffic camera be erected he-re.

    REYANA STEYN

    ThePeopleLivingWithCancer (PLWC)Can-cer Buddies organisation has been ear-marked as one of the beneficiaries in thespectacular Want ons Kan/Cause we Can!concert.

    PLWC Cancer Buddies was established in2000 by Linda Greeff and Carl Liebenberg,both of whom are cancer survivors.

    The organisation develops volunteercounselling guidelines and support thathelps people who have been diagnosed withcancer.

    After a person has been diagnosed withcancer, that is when he or she needs all thesupport they can get, says Greef.

    The aim is to provide support to newlydiagnosed cancer patients when treatmentstarts, to assist with the initial adjustmentto the process. This service ensures that acancer patient and their caregivers have ac-cess to support services near their treatmentunits. We need them to be cancer survivorsand not cancer victims.

    The organisation offers a buddy supportnetwork where cancer patients can interactwith and receive advice and support fromcancer survivors who have a similar profile,disease and treatment protocol.

    She says the importance of support whilelearning to live with cancer is fundamentalto developing a true cancer survivor ap-

    proach.Dealing with each chapter of survival in-

    volves more than medical management itrequires attention to your psychological, so-cial, emotional, spiritual, working and prac-tical needs as well.

    Developing a patient active approachwhich empowers the patient to take somecontrol over the process and which encour-ages them to see healing as more that justphysical, is an important outcome the can-cer buddies tries to achieve.

    Greef says talking with someone who hassurvived cancer and has regained their lifeoffers hope and a sense of empowerment.

    Through empowerment comes a positiveattitude, which has a profound effect on theoutcome of the treatment.

    PLWC has branches in the Western Cape,Eastern Cape, Gauteng and in Mpumalanga.

    Currently they are trying to set up supportgroups in all the small communities such asDelft and Bishop Lavis.

    Greef says a challenge they face is fundingwhich is always a problem.

    We are in need of funding and thats whywe are so grateful to be a beneficiary of theCause we Can! concert. We need to rendera service to people. We are trying to appointtwo social workers to assist the people whoneed cancer support in this crucial time.

    Anyonewhowould like to assist or join theorganisation can call 021 949 4060.

    DESIRE RORKE

    Amidst the outcry and confusion aboutrecent Metrorail fare increases, RobinCarlisle, minister of transport and pu-blic works in the Western Cape took atrain from Kraaifontein to Cape Townlast week to speak directly to strugglingcommuters.

    This followed after the eleventh houranouncement by Cosatu and Metrorail, thatthey have struck a deal to reduce the initi-al proposed increase of 27 percent, to 13 per-cent as of 1 April.

    On22March, after the increase announce-ment, Carlisle requested Metrorail to adjustthe 27 percent increase to a single-digit figu-re.

    Although there had been no increases infares from2003 to 2010, the 27 percent increa-se for 2012, added to 2011s 33 percent increa-se, means that there will be an effective 60percent rise in fares over just two years,he said after the announcement.

    It was at this time that Cosatu and theChamber of Commerce approached Metro-rail to negotiate a smaller increase.

    Carlisle, however, remains unhappy withthe effective increase and now claims thatin reality it is much more than the intended13 percent, which is why he opted to go and

    speak to the commuters last week.Healsowanted toknow fromMetrorail, Co-

    satu and the Chamber of Commerce, whythey were negotiating the future of CapeTowns commuters behind closed doors, wit-hout a single elected representative of the pe-ople, or anyone from the City of Cape Townor provincial government being present.

    What I found (during the train trip), isthat in reality fares have been hiked up to 50percent in some cases, he said in a statementafter his trip.

    He based this on information obtained di-rectly from commuters he spoke to.

    One commuter now pays R359 for hismonthly ticket from Kraaifontein to CapeTown, a 47 percent increase from R240.

    Another now pays R9 for his daily ticketfrom Kraaifontein to Parow, 20 percent morethan the former R7,50.

    Furthermore, a weekly pass betweenKraaifontein to Parow (Metroplus) now costsR72, 16 percentmore than the formerR62; andamonthly ticket fromKraaifontein toBellvil-le now R149,50 percent more than the previ-ous R99.

    The sense of indignity inflicted on Metro-rail commuters was upsetting. I would liketo remind Metrorail that most of their custo-mers are not the kinds of people that have anextra R100 just lying around in their poc-kets, he said.

    According to the minister the reactions ofcommuters at the ticket counters were up-setting, with many having to ask fellow tra-vellers to help out with extra money.

    Carlisle has indicated that he will be wri-ting to the national minister of transport toask him to bring down the fares.

    Metrorails regional manager Mthuthuze-li Swartz, said that the ministers action inthis regard is inexplicable.

    I already admitted in the media prior tothe ministers trip that we had made a mista-ke on the system, with regard to the Metrop-lus prices and that it would be corrected.What he achieved with this exercise was me-rely to analyse our mistake, he told Tyger-burger.

    .Actual fare increases obtained by theminister from commuters in other areas:

    Vasco to Cape Town monthly, R99 to R115 16 percent increase;

    Bellvile to Monte Vista monthly, R97 toR143 47 percent increase;

    Eerste River to Cape Town monthly,R117 to R165 41 percent increase;

    Melton Rose to Cape Town single, R12 toR17 41 percent increase;

    Brackenfell to Cape Town - monthly, R226to R240 6 percent increase; and

    Brackenfell to Maitland monthly, R191 toR221 15 percent increase.

    Minister joins commuters infight against fare increase

    . From page 1.In his communiqu to Van Jaarsveld he

    stated that the city would however continuewith its mobile speed enforcement operati-ons on the road

    But will this be possible in the face of theacute current shortage of traffic personnel?This issue was addressed in an article in Ty-gerBurger on 7 March under the headline,Verkeersluit-tekort n groot krisis.

    You already have limited enforcementcapabilities, how can you commit to provi-ding adequate monitoring or enforcementnow? It is just not understandable how youwant to commit people to the problem,which still dont provide after hours enfor-cement, vs the implementation of a muchmore effective deterrent and control meas-ure that even generates revenue and wouldbe a more permanent solution in the longterm? Van Jaarsveld also requested an ex-planation as to why the criteria were notconformed to.

    In a media enquiry to the city, TygerBur-ger posed several questions to the city withregard to this issue, but had received nofeedback at the time of going to press.

    Ons leef in n wreld waar baie dinge ver-keerd is. Ek lees nou die dag 1,1 miljoen huis-houdings in Suid-Afrika se kinders gaansnags honger slaap. Duisende mense het indie laaste paar jaar hul werk verloor en daar-deur in n finansile verknorsing beland.Met die resessie het mense hul huise, motorsen besittings verloor. Dan isdaar nog baie ander soorte el-lendes wat rondom ons gebeur.

    Wie moet hierdie mense by-staan en help? Sal ons dit aandie politieke en kerklike leiersoorlaat? Natuurlik het hulle nwaardevolle bydrae te lewer.Dit is egter ook juis politieke engodsdienstige ideologie enstrukture wat van die grootsteellende, vervolging en oorlo indie geskiedenis van die wreldveroorsaak het.

    Nee, ons kan dit nie slegs aanhierdie instansies toevertrounie. Ek en jy het ook n verant-woordelikheid om n verskil te maak.

    Ek is n aanhanger van Kenny Rogers semusiek. Het jy al sy liedjie gehoor: Someoneis Me? Dit handel oor die agteruitgang vandie woonbuurt en die stad, die vullis in diestrate, die graffiti teen die mure, oor die sui-nigheid en onsimpatieke houding van dieryk mense. En dan vra die liedjie wie moetdie goed regmaak wat verkeerd is. En Kennysing die laaste vers so:

    Somebody should do something about it(someone)How hard could it be?Somebody should do something about it(someone)Maybe that someone is me

    Jy is daardie iemand wat moet regmaak.In jou gesin, in jou woonbuurt, by die werk.Van die volgende dinge is redes en versko-nings wat mense aanvoer waarom hulle nien verskil in die wreld kan maak nie:.Mense dink hulle is nie goed genoeg nie.

    Ek is nie die predikant nie, of ek is nie slimof belangrik genoeg nie. Non-sens. Staan op en steek jou handuit en maak n verskil.. Sommige mense s dat hulle

    nie finansieel sterkgenoeg is omte help nie. Hulle sukkel self omte oorleef. Hulp gaan egter nienet om geld nie. Jy kan van joutyd en energie en ander vaardig-hede gee om behoeftiges te help..Dan is daar diegene so besig

    met hulle eie lewe dat hulle nietyd vir ander mense het nie.Daar is net te veel dinge op hulagenda. Televisie. Rugby. Sport.Vakansie. Tuinmaak. Lees. Ver-maak. Los eerder die versko-

    nings en maak tyd vir jou naaste.. Bang vir kritiek. Wat sal die mense s?

    Moenie jou steur aan praatjies van mensenie. Spring uit en gaan tot aksie oor.

    In ons land is daar wonderlike mense metruim harte wat n onbaatsugtige naastedienslewer. Dit is mense wat ons nie oor die radiohoor, of op televisie sien, of van wie ons indie koerante lees nie. Dit is mense wat op hulstil en beskeie manier hul hand uitsteek nahulle in nood en ellende soos engele op aar-de. Staan op en sluit aan by hierdie groep.Moenie langer wag nie. Jy is die iemand watdie verskil kan maak.

    (Dr. ST Potgieter, tel. 021 949 5007, facebook:ST se Pitkos)

    Jy is daardie iemandGood work: NedbankBusiness Banking handedover a cheque of R15 000 totheSouthAfricanRedCrossAir Mercy Services (AMS).The funds were donated tothe organisation in view ofthe Aeromed Africa 2012conference and exhibitionwhich took place lastmonth, and will be used byAMS for operational funding.

    Its what her mom would have wanted.Thats why a businesswoman from Brac-kenfell is organising a fundraiser for athree-month-old girl who is in dire needof a hearing aid.

    Jo-Ann Clayton and staff of the ButterfliesUnisex Hair Salon will be cutting and blow-drying hair on Sunday (15 April) to raisefunds for Chloe Beyers who suffers frommulti-moderate high frequency loss of hea-ring.

    The idea came about after Claytons mom,Hester Verster (66), passed away on Tuesday13 March and in rememberance of her, shewanted to do something special.

    When my mom passed away I was devas-tated but I want to do something to remem-ber her by. I chose 15 April because that isher birthday. My mom became deaf at theage of 19 and had a cochlear implant. WhenI heard of Chloe, who is my friends cousinsbaby who needed an implant, I thought Icould help.

    The aim of the fundraiser is to have a cutand blow at a price of R100 and the moneywill go towards getting Chloes hearing aid.

    It is for a good cause and my motherwould be proud. I spoke to Chloes mom andshe said it would be great if I do this. All ofthe staff at the salon were excited when Imentioned the project to them and they weremore than happy to be a part of it.

    Charlene Beyers, Chloes mother saysthey are thankful to Clayton for taking thisinitiative.

    I am very grateful that there are still peo-ple willing to help others. When she told mewhat she wanted to do I was estatic. My el-dest daughter aged six also has a hearingproblem and when I heard my youngest alsohad it, it was tough. Medical aid doesnt co-ver this operation and thats why I was sohappy when Jo-Ann contacted me and toldme what she wanted to do. It means alot tome and my family.

    The Butterflies Unisex Hair salon is situa-ted in the Glengarry Shopping Complex andwill be open from 09:00.

    For more information call 021 982 8134..

    Lede van die Brackenfell-polisie, is vuuren vlam om n verskil te maak in die lewevan kinders van polisielede wat oorledeis.

    Tientalle polisiemanne sterf elke jaar indie uitvoering van hul pligte, en dikwelsword hul kinders agtergelaat sonder die no-dige fondse vir hul toekomstige opvoeding.

    Di leemte is in 2010 aangespreek toe dienou geskorste polisiehoof, generaal BhekiCele, die Suid-Afrikaanse Polisiediens(SAPD) se opvoedkundige fonds gestig het.

    Die polisie het die eerste skenking vanR1 miljoen aan die trust gemaak, wat tansstaatmaak op die insameling van fondsedeur die polisiediens en privaat sektor.

    Die doel van die trust is om sulke kindersby te staan met fondse om verdere studies teonderneem. Kinders van ontslape polisiele-de tussen die range van konstabel en adju-dant-offisier, kan by die trust aansoek doenvir ondersteuning. Onder leiding van die sta-siebevelvoerder, kolonel Willie Joseph, ver-trek 15 polisielede op 7 Mei op n 496 km-fiets-toer, om fondse in te samel vir die trust.

    Die roete begin in Kraaifontein en sal op11 Mei weer in Brackenfell eindig.

    Gedurende die vyfdagtoer, sal fietsryersvan dorp tot dorp ry om geld in te samel deurmiddel vanmusiekkonsertewat elke aandopverskillende dorpe gehou gaan word.

    Verskeie plaaslike musikante soos FrediNest, Hugo Nieuwoudt, Rooies en Burger leRoux het reeds hul gewig agter die inisiatief

    ingegooi, en n moontlike konsert deur dieBroers word beoog. Bok Radio sal as media-borg optree, en die radiopersoonlikheid Kar-lien Kruger, gaan self saamtrap.

    Verder gaan die Brackenfell-polisie die pu-bliek bewus maak van hul slagoffer-onder-steuningsprogram, deur poppekasverto-nings te hou by skole op die roete.

    Die roete dek Kraaifontein, Durbanville,Melkbosstrand, Atlantis, Darling, Lange-baan, Saldanha, Vredenburg, Hopefield,Moorreesburg, Piketberg, Porterville, Rie-beek Kasteel, Malmesbury, Wellington,Paarl en Klapmuts.

    Volgens vader Smangaliso Mkhatshwa,voorsitter van die trust, is die trust die eerstevan sy soort indieSuid-Afrikaanse openbaresektor. Deur middel van di inisiatief saldie polisie aanhou om daarna te streef omons gevalle helde te ondersteun, en kan dieondersteuning van die publiek en privaatsektor verseker dat die doelwitte van dietrust bereik word,s hy.

    Volgens ao. Erica Crous van die Bracken-fell-polisie, is planne goed op dreef met diebeplande fietstoer, maar word daar nog fond-se benodig om die verskeie kunstenaars seuitgawes, sowel as ander toeruitgawes, tedek. Die span kort ook nog eenvormige fiets-ryklere. Weldoeners wat wil help, kan kap-tein Laurentius Schoonwinkel skakel by083 320 4283.

    Donasies omdie toer te ondersteun,kan in-betaal word by SAPS Sport and RecreationClub Estern Cape, First National Bank, tjek-rekeningnommer 620 5981 7092, Adderley-straattak, takkode 201 409.

    Help Lucky Lucy toraise urgent funds

    The South African Social Security Agen-cy (Sassa) seems to be blaming pension-ers, parents and caregivers for the recentmayhem in the pay-out of social grants.

    Both the minister of social develop-ment Bathabile Dlamini and Sassa CEOVirginia Petersen have repeatedly givenassurances that the re-registration of ben-eficiaries necessitated by the changeoverto the Cash Paymaster System would notdisrupt grant payments.

    Sassa now admits that several systemglitches delayed the payment of grantssince 2 April. In a full-page advertisementin the Business Report on Sunday, Sassablames these glitches on beneficiarieswho panicked and put pressure on thesystem.

    This blame-shifting is unacceptable,said Mike Waters, DA shadow minister ofsocial development in a statement lastweek.

    The grants system is a national compe-tency managed by Sassa, which falls un-der the department of social develop-

    ment. Sassa and the department thereforehave joint responsibility to ensure thatgrants are paid out timeously during there-registration process.

    According to him the advertisementswould have cost Sassa at least R213 000 or the equivalent of 177 old age grants or803 child support grants.

    We have previously asked the chair-person of the portfolio committee on soci-al development to call both minister Dla-mini and Ms Petersen to appear beforethe committee to give feedback on the ma-nagement of the re-registration processand the vetting of Sassa officials involvedin grant pay-outs. When this invitation isaccepted,wewill questionSassaon the re-asoning behind the advertising campaignand the steps taken to address the glit-ches in the system.

    For many South Africans, socialgrants are their main livelihood. It is im-perative thatmechanismsareput inplaceto ensure a smooth transition to the newpay-out system, he said.

    En my God sal in elke behoefte van julleryklik voorsien volgens Sy wonderbaarlikerykdom in Christus Jesus. Filippense 4:19

    When would allarrive alive?At last count, almost 200 people had beenkilled on South African roads over theEaster weekend, 13 of them in the WesternCape.

    Although this figure is down comparedto 2011, this in no way minimises the im-pact from loss of lives.

    Easter is a time of worship for Christi-ans celebrating the resurrection of Jesus,it is a joyous time to spend with family andfriends; not intended for mourning.

    On 3 April, Western Cape minister oftransport and public works Robin Carlisleexpressed his hope for no fatalities in theprovince on the roads at Easter. This wasnot to be.

    While the authorities have done every-thing in their power from Operation Exo-dus to the Arrive Alive Road Safety Cam-paign to keep South Africans safe on theroads, the same cannot be said of the moto-rists.

    The primary and ultimate responsibili-ty rests with the person entrusted behindthe wheel. Every driver is well aware ofthe murderous implications of drivingdrunk, speeding and driving unroadwort-hy vehicles, yet many, in the foolhardy be-lief that it will never happen to me, risktheir lives, that of their passengers and in-nocent fellow motorists.

    Next Easter, can we turn Carlisles hopeof zero road fatalities into a reality?

    Renters also want to recycleIm reading the letters in todays (Wednes-day 4 April) newspaper about the recyclebins. The letter of Debbie Knipe from Dur-banville (Go fetch your recycle bin urgent-ly) sayswe shouldbe fined fornot recycling.I find that a bit unfair.

    I am renting a property in Protea Heights,Brackenfell.

    I dont have a recycle bin. Not because Ihave a no care attitude or want to protectour environment! I dont have one becausethe municipality wont issue me with a bin.

    You see, last year I went to go ask wherecan I get a recycle bin. I was told that the OW-NER will have to go fetch the bin with a letterthat he/she will receive from the municipali-

    ty. How true this is, I would like to know?Some renters dont even get to see the mu-

    nicipality account in some cases.In my case, the owners arent even in the

    country.Now my question is ... In the case of ren-

    ters, who is responsible for fetching the bin?The owner or myself, the renter?

    And if we can go collect the bin ourselves,what would we need? Our rental agreement?Do they even collect recycling materials inBrackenfell? And when?

    Some clarity on this issue would be appre-ciated.

    Lui bure se dromstink ten hemeleDie nuwe afvalherwinningsprojek van dieKaapstadse munisipaliteit is uiteraard nuitstekende idee, maar dit gaan ongelukkigveroorsaak dat my bloeddruk met nog npaar kerwe styg.

    Ek woon in Bellville en het ongelukkig npaar uiters lakse bure.

    Dit is eenvoudig vir hulle te veel moeiteom hul vullisdrom na die agterplaas terug testoot nadat dit leeggemaak is. Die gevolg isdat dit week in en week uit net so op sy sy-paadjie bly staan.

    En dit is nie van gister af nie. Dit gaanreeds jare lank so aan.

    Watter sieraad vir die voortuin! Het mensedan so min trots op hul eiendom dat hullenie omgee hoe hul erf deur sulke onooglikegedrogtelikhede ontsier word nie?

    Hulle sien nie die drom vanuit hul sitka-mer nie, maar hul bure moet heeldag daarinvaskyk.

    Nou gaan hulle n tweede (groen) drom kryen di gaan natuurlik net soos die bestaandeswarte n dromdag ook permanent op die sy-paadjie gelos word.

    In my straat is daar vyf huishoudings wathul dromme net so op straat los en natuurlikweet die dromkrappers daarvan en doen ge-volglik daagliks by ons straat aan. Afgesiendaarvan dat hulle die omgewing in die pro-ses bemors, maak dit n mens naar om te sienhoe hulle regstreeks van die kosafval uit diedromme eet. Boonop word my erf as ontlas-tingsplek gebruik. Omdat sulke huiseie-naars eweneens te lui is om die dromme soaf en toe uit te was, lok dit nie net vlie nie,maar stuur dit ook onaangename reuke diestraat af.

    Kan die munisipaliteit sulke mense niedalk aanspreek of selfs beboet nie?

    Daar word in die berig Buurt boosoor rumoer (TygerBurger 28Maart) die uitsondering gemaakvan Springdale Villas, maar ditgaan by n hele paar woonstelle inBrackenfell ook so.

    Geraas blyk nie n oortreding tewees in die o van die Brackenfell-polisie nie.

    Die antwoord is altyd dieselfde:U moet n klagte kom indien voorons kan optree.

    Dit is die grootste snert.Dit is n kriminele oortreding

    soos enige ander.Mens hoef nie n klagte oor elke

    kriminele oortreding by die polisiein te dien nie.

    Diepubliekkandiepolisie vraomondersoek in te stel.

    Hulle kan self teen die mense op-tree indien hulle bewys van die oor-treding het.

    As hulle by die woning aankomen dit raas, is dit genoeg. Dit is bloteonwilligheid om die gemeenskap tedien.

    Baie van die polisiebeamptes isnie uit ons gemeenskap nie, maaruit ander dele van ons land met an-der waardes.

    Hulle het geen belang daarby omons te dien nie.

    Dis maklik om wel op te tree asjy gewillig is.

    Ek het self ervaring daarvan datdie polisie nie eers uitkom vir sulkeklagtes nie.

    Dit is tyd dat ons as gemeenskapvra dat die plaaslike polisie se nie-optrede ondersoek word en hullevervang word met lede wat ons asgemeenskap wil dien.

    Hulle moet ook ophou om n rege-ringsinstrument te wees en woordesoos rolmodelle vir transforma-sie (uit n berig in TygerBurger) engemeenskapsuitreikaksies, hoortnie by hulle nie.

    Hulle moet wet en orde handhaafen dis al.

    Om voor n gehoor te praat is die mensse vyfde grootste vrees, volgens n inter-net-blogskrywer.

    Net die vrees vir slange, honde en spinne-koppe, die vrees vir kieme, vir oop spasiesen die vrees vir hoogtes, is erger as die vreesom in die openbaar te praat.

    Di vrees kan egter oorkom word en ommense daarmee te help, is die TygerbergToastmasters net die plek om by aan te klop.

    Elretha Johnson, adjunkpresident van dieTygerberg Toastmasters, s by di organisa-sie leer mense hoe om voor ander te praaten word leierskapontwikkeling aange-spreek.

    Pieter Brits, president, s by die Toastmas-ters word mense gehelp om hul verhoog-vrees te oorkom. Wanneer dt in plek is,kan sprekers die konstruksie van hul optre-des regkry, s hy.

    Pieter s solank mense n vrees het omvoor ander te praat kan daar nie doeltreffendgekommunikeer word nie.

    Hoe kan jy regtig iemand leer ken as jynie weet hoe om met die ander persoon tepraat nie? s hy.

    Geen vorm van kommunikasie is beter asverbale kommunikasie nie.

    By n byeenkoms van die Toastmasters opDinsdag 3 April het dr. ST Potgieter, oud-lidvan die Toastmasters, opgetree as spreker.

    Hoe begin n mens n toespraak, het STgevra. Jy wil nie h mense moet n die eer-ste sin aan die slaap raak nie, s hy.

    ST s n goeie toespraak begin met n inlei-ding wat tref. Dit is die aas wat jy aansit

    wanneer jy die lyn ingooi, verduidelik hydie stelling deur middel van n metafoor.

    ST het ges dit is belangrik om deurentydgaste se aandag te behou en n goue draadjiedeur die toespraak tot aan die einde te vleg.

    Vyf sprekers het by di geleentheid toe-sprake gehou. n Evalueerder het elke spre-ker se toespraak gevalueer en wenke gegee.

    Sprekers kry n spesifieke tyd om hul toe-sprake te maak en n tydhouer herinner hul-le aan die oorblywende tyd.

    By Tygerberg Toastmasters word verskil-lende kleure liggies onderskeidelik drie,twee en een minuut voor die einde aangeska-kel om die spreker van sy oorblywende tydin kennis te stel.

    Sekere rels geld wanneer jy lid is vanToastmasters. Sprekers mag nie praat oorgodsdiens, politiek of seks nie, s Pieter.

    Elretha Johnson was een van die sprekersby die onlangse vergadering, waar sy haartiende toespraak gemaak het.

    Die toespraak het gegaan oor die lewe vann seun genaamd Huppelkind.

    Pieter Brits se onderwerp was die buur-vrou en haar seun met sy motorfiets enSean Kets het gepraat oor Ongeluk opGrootgeluk.

    Jaco Heiberg, die ander spreker vir dieaand, se onderwerp was visie.

    Jy as leier moet op die kruin van die bult-jie gaan staan en vir ander mense wys waar-heen om te gaan. Jou visie moet uitdagendwees en mensegerig wees. Dit moet ook mak-lik wees om te verduidelik, het hy ges. Methierdie woorde in sy toespraak het Jaco ver-skeie aspekte aangeraak waarop juis by dieToastmasters gefokus word.

    The vibracrete wall along the R300 inSareptawill nowbe replacedbyconcretepalisade fencing.

    The wall was meant to keep criminalsout of the residential area, but due tovandalism it never served its purpose.

    People have easy access to the resi-dential area from the R300 and they havean easy escape route via the R300, saidone resident.

    Shortly after an article (Criminalsdestroy freeway wall) about the de-struction of the vibracrete wall ap-peared in theTygerBurger, the South Af-rican National Roads Agency (Sanral)started working on replacing the wallwith palisade fencing.

    Not only is this type of fencing moredurable, but also more difficult for crim-inals to steal, says Johannes Abrahamfrom Lusasa Construction, the companysubcontracted by Sanral for the mainte-

    nance of the wall.This will ultimately save us a lot of

    money with maintenance costs and itwill also be a lot safer for residents, hesays.

    According to Abraham, the biggestproblem they had with the maintenanceof the vibracrete wall was with residentswho took the slabs without permission.

    To date we have spent in excess ofR30 000 on repairing this specific wall,said Kobus van der Walt, regional man-ager for Sanral.

    Ward councillor Jacob Jacobs hasmade a number of visits to the area.

    He says even though the maintenanceof the wall is not the responsibility of themunicipality, he made every effort tostress the importance of the wall to San-ral.

    We are now busy removing the old vi-bracrete wall and by Tuesday we willstart putting up the new palisade fenc-ing, says Abraham.

    Businesses big and small must make sure theyare legal.

    That is the message that Shaun Nero, a localsocial entrepreneur, wants to get out into thecommunity. He has taken on this task to makelocal small businesses aware of new legislationgoverning companies.

    He explained there was some confusion whenthe Companies and Intellectual Property Com-mission (Cipro) announced that closed corpora-tions (CCs), will not exist any more.

    Several communications were sent to custom-ers, but most small to medium enterprise ownersstill do not fully understand what it all entails.

    Also helping with this task is Arthur Jacobs of

    Business Zone who developed a very simplifiedfinancial management system which could bene-fit small medium enterprises.

    They fear to register as limited companies notrealising that their annual turnover plays a verycrucial role in auditing and other technicalitiesrelated to growth in business, he said.

    Jacobs helps small to medium enterprises withsimplified effective bookkeeping which can addvalue to their operation.

    Nero concluded by adding that it was impor-tant for these businesses to register with Cipro,and other related governmental departments be-cause it all formed part of being on databaseswhen it came to tenders and getting business.

    For further information interested parties cancall him on 084 598 9077.

    Legit business has advantages

    Shaun Nero wants to assist small tomedium businesses in the community.

    The Western Cape health departmenthas embarked on an influenza vaccina-tion campaign, which is taking place atall public health facilities until Sunday30 June.

    A total of 100 000 vaccine doses are availa-ble for this campaign and have been allocat-ed to all districts.

    The vaccine is provided free of charge.People who are part of the priority groups

    are encouraged to go to their nearest healthfacility to request the vaccination.

    Through receiving the vaccine, peopleliving in the Western Cape can build strong-er immune systems and protect themselvesagainst flu during this winter.

    Priority groups include:.Adults or children at high risk for influ-

    enza-related complications because of un-

    derlying medical conditions such as chron-ic pulmonary disease (including asthma),cardiovascular disease (except hyperten-sion), renal, hepatic, neurologic, haemato-logic or metabolic disorders (including dia-betes mellitus), morbid obesity and immu-no-suppression (including HIV-infectedpersons);. Pregnant women irrespective of stage

    of pregnancy;. Children aged six months to four years

    (59 months);. Residents of old-age (nursing) homes

    and other chronic care or rehabilitation fa-cilities;.Children aged six months to 18 years on

    long-term aspirin therapy; and. All persons aged 65 years and older.Theuns Botha, Western Cape health min-

    ister says; The vaccination campaign

    forms part of our strategy to boost peoplesimmune systems, so that their bodies areless vulnerable to disease. Our long-termaim is to increase wellness, that is a societywhere people are healthy and strong andable to go to work every day and live the lifethey value. Flu vaccinations are only stepson that road, but building blocks towards ahealthier society. So make use of this oppor-tunity that our health services offer so thatwe can be better together.

    The outcome of the campaign is to reduceinfluenza-related morbidity and mortalityand to reduce the transmission of the influ-enza virus within communities.

    Not everyone is at risk of severe disease,therefore, not everyone needs to be vacci-nated against the current strain of influen-za.

    Other preventative measures include:

    .Avoiding close contact: Avoid closecontact with people who are sick. When youare sick, keep your distance from others toprotect them from getting sick too.. Staying home when you are sick: If

    possible, stay home when you are sick.

    Health dept offers free flu vaccine

    It is a good idea to get a flu injection to prevent influenza.
