Police are currently scrutinisingtheir dockets to see whether therecent surge in house robberiesin Sunningdale and Parklandsare connected.
There has been a hectic increasein house robberies in this specificarea in the last three months, saysLieutenant Elizabeth Munro,spokesperson for Table View po-lice.
Police believe most of the casesare intended break-ins which turn
into house robberies when the vic-tims wake up and then confront therobbers.
We are working through all therelevant dockets to see whether weare dealing with opportunisticcriminals or a more organisedgroup of suspects, Munro ex-plained.
She says theyhope to close thenetaround these suspects by establish-ing a pattern of some kind.
We have found similarities insome of the cases. The incidentsusually happen between 00:00 and05:00 at night. In some instances a
firearm is used to threaten the in-habitants and other times a knife,screwdriver or physical force areused, Munro said.
She advised residents to not con-front intruders when they entertheir yards.
We have had incidents whereresidents went outside to confrontintruders and were then threatenedand forced inside where they wererobbed. People should rather con-tact the specific sector policenumber, she said.
In four of the most recent casesvictims were threatened with a fire-
arm.Munro warned that people
should not think that somethingsuch as electric fencing alone willdeter intruders and then leave theirdoors and windows open.
In one instance three men re-moved the concrete slabs from a vi-bacrete wall to crawl under the elec-tric fencing and gain access to theproperty, Munro said.
She added residents should con-tinue to be alert and lock all doorsand windows at night.
To inform local residents of thecurrent crime situation in the area,
the police will have a public meet-ing on Wednesday 23 May at 19:00at the Sunningdale MultipurposeSports Hall.
We hope to drum up support fora Sunningdale branch of the TableView Neighbourhood Watch. Therehas definitely been a decrease incrime in areas where the neigbour-hood watch is active, she said.
The contact numbers for the pa-trol vehicle in Sector 2 (Parklandsand Sunningdale) are 082 469 1734or 079 894 1451. The number for Ta-ble View police is 021 521 3300 andfor Parklands police 021 521 3807.
Home breakins surge) Police search for crime patterns
While there might still be much speculation about who will be captaining the Springbok rugby team in their first test against England, thereis no doubt as to who is in charge of this herd of springboks at theAtlanticBeachGolf Course. This buckwas clearly the alphamale, snorting and head butting any of the other young bucks to show his dominance. Those travelling along the R27 can often see the small herdof some20buck grazing on the clubs driving range in the earlymorning.The springboks numbers are monitored by the Blaauwberg Conservation Area staff to prevent them from over populating the golf estatewhich is home to several species of fynbos as well.

A mother and her one-year-oldson were killed after their vehi-cle was torn in half in a collisionon Potsdam Road last week.
Nokuleko Mateza (34) and her sonElethu died on the scene after aFord Bantam bakkie collided withthe Mazda 323 they were travellingin.
One of the passengers KholiswaDipha (36) says they were returningfrom a church meeting in WestBeach when the accident happened
at 21:00 on Tuesday evening.We dropped off an old lady at
Site 5 and were on our way back toDu Noon, she says.
Diphahad thebabyonher lapandwas seated behind Nokulekos hus-band Zola who was driving. Nokule-ko was also seated in the back seat.
Zola was in the process of turningright from Potsdam Road into Usas-aza Road.
There was a car coming but itwas still far, then I just heard beep-beep and saw another car coming athigh speed, she says.
The collision happened in a blur.
Kholiswa says she heard a goepsound and then people shouting.
I was shouting at Nokuleko ifshe knew where the baby was, andshe was calling me asking if I hadthe baby.
An emergency worker carryingthe limp body of Elethu to a vehiclewhilst performing CPR on the childwas the last Kholiswa saw of the ba-by that she was moments beforecuddling on her lap.
Kholiswa was the first to be takento the hospital. She had sufferedthree cracked ribs, and has kidneypains, a stiff spine and cuts and
bruises on her legs.Kholiswas husband Fillip was
one of the first people on the scene.A friend who recognised his car,called him just after 21:00 tellinghim about the accident.
The car is finished, it is in twopieces, he says of the white Mazda.
He witnessed emergency person-nel cover the mother and sons bod-ies with plastic sheets.
According to Lieutenant Eliza-beth Munro from the Table Viewpolice they arrested the driver of aFord Bantam bakkie.
An officer on scene measured
the brake marks on the road to 35m.According to the arresting officerthe driver of the bakkie was possi-bly under the influence of alcohol.Samples of his blood were taken foranalysis, Munro says.
The 44-year-old driver from TableView was arrested on a charge ofculpable homicide. He appeared inthe Cape Town Magistrates Courton Thursday 3 May and was re-leased on bail.
Nonkuleko and Elethu Matezasfuneral servicewill takeplace at theNational Congregation Church inWest Beach this coming Saturday.

Three drug dealers literally lost theirway after trying to evade police duringa recent sting operation.
Members of the Cape Town tactical re-sponse team and the Metro Polices drugunit were conducting a special opera-tion on Friday 20 April when the threesuspects attempted to evade arrest byfleeing in a white Hyundai Getz and ared Ford Tracer.
In a high speed chase the driver of theGetz tried to force the unmarked policevehicle off the road. The police vehicle
landed on the traffic island on the cor-ner of Otto du Plessis Drive and Big BayBoulevard.
The Getz driver lost control of his ve-hicle, which went over the circle andlanded on the other side of the traffic is-land.

Themanner inwhich tworecent incidentsof water leaks were handled has some res-idents questioning the citys current re-newed clampdown on water wastage.
TygerBurger recently reported about thecitys commitment to strengthen the enforce-ment of its by-laws related towater, in accord-ance with the new fine structure.
An irate Melkbosstrand resident reporteda burst pipe on the corner of Commaillie Roadand 10th Avenue on Thursday 12 April.
The site was cordoned off between 02:00 and03:00 by workers from the citys water depart-ment.
This specific household was thus withoutwater which is acceptable, however, whatwas upsetting is the stream of water thatflowed out of a 100mm pipe until 09:12. Thatis six hours, he man said.
I wonder if the new water act allows for the
incompetent handling of, according to me, anemergency where millions of litres of waterruns to the sea? he asked.
Pierre Maritz, acting director of the cityswater and sanitation department says techni-cal problems prevented the leak from beingstopped timeously.
Maritz says a repair team responded to thecall, but experienced problems with faultyvalves which did not close.
The valves are closed to shut off the watersupply in order to allow repair work to be car-ried out on the affected section of pipeline.
The result was that they had to start closingoff the water supply to a bigger area, which iswhy it took longer than normal to shut off thewater supply, he explained.
Maritz confirmed that the faulty valves havebeen scheduled for repair.
I wish to reassure residents that the waterand sanitation department strives to repair allwater bursts and leaks as soon as is possible.At times there are, however, technical con-
straints, he said.Two eagle-eyed residents in Flamingo
Vlei were also wondering about a continu-ous stream of water that was flowing froma pipe in a residential complex in SouthRoad.
Robert Symonds from Table View saysthe relevant article (Citybeefsupwaterby-law clout, 18 April 2012) made him laugh.He also questioned the citys commitmentto water saving after a delayed response.
I reported a severe water leak in SouthRoad, Table View to the water departmentvia email on 16, 17 and 18 April. I only re-ceived an acknowledgement on 19 April.The water department only arrived on the24th, he says.
It turned out that the leak came not froma municipal pipe but from the complex 48on South itself.
You would think that someone residingin the complex would have the commonsense to report the leak to the body corpo-rate or property management company.Meanwhile many hundreds of kilolitres ofprecious water have literally gone down thedrain, he says.
Mayoral committee member for utilityservices Shehaam Sims says the water andsanitationdepartment investigated the leakas soon as it was reported.
They found that the leak was on privateproperty. They were unable to gain access in-itially and so revisited the site on Tuesday 24April.
The staff met with the complainant and itwas confirmed that the leak was not from thecitys infrastructure, but from private prop-erty. Upon further investigation, staff foundthat the water meter for the property wasshowing high usage. They managed to findthe number for the complexs managingagent and contacted him immediately. Whenthe agent arrived, he was able to open thecomplex gate with a remote, allowing citystaff to search the interior of the complex.They found the leaking pipe underground, onthe complexproperty.Theagent immediatelytook action to contact a private plumber,Sims explained.
Sims says they are always grateful whenresidents report faults.
The sooner they are reported, the soonerthey can be attended to.
Residents should please report faults to theCall Centre on 0860 103 089. Complainants willbe supplied with a reference number whichthey should retain for all future dealings onthe matter. Water-related faults can also bereported via SMS (max 160 characters) to31373 or via email to [email protected].

Homes and businesses will have to step upand make sure they comply with the legalrequirements for employing domesticworkers. If not, it could land them in hotwater.
Although these legal provisions are set outin the Basic Conditions of Employment andOccupational Health and Safety acts, manydomestic workers still do not enjoy the em-ployment rights guaranteed by these twoacts.
The other implication is that non-compli-ant employers are in fact breaking the lawand are subject to fines, prosecution, and inextreme cases, possible incarceration accord-ing to the department of labour.
Yendor Felgate, CEO of Emergence GrowthServices, a provider of human capital man-agement, states that non-compliance may becompletely unintentional, and that adoptionof compliance may be hindered due to massignorance.
Pieter Laubscher, deputy director for elec-trical engineering within the department oflabour states that the reasons for the slowrate of compliance of employers has not yetbeen fully determined, however steadyprogress is being made and inspectors are notexperiencing much resistance to the depart-ments labour inspection initiative that tar-gets both business, as well as private resi-dences.
Furthermore, according to David Honey-man, executive at Guardrisk Allied Productsand Services, a division of Alexander Forbes,domestic workers often do not enjoy insur-ance benefits that many businesses provideto their employees.
The most recent national census is expect-ed to declare a conservative figure of approxi-mately 900 000 domestic workers in South Af-rica, although this figure would be acceptedas being lower than the true amount.
It is also suggested that of this, up to 28 per-cent of domestic workers remain without thenecessary documentation or agreement of
formal employment with employers.To rectify this matter, the department of
labour has initiated ongoing inspections toensure compliance with the acts.
In February, the then minister of labourHerbert Mkhize stated: We have a moralduty to do something about non-compli-ance. We need our social partners to joinhands with us in the war against non-com-pliance. Why do we have to use the law tocajole citizens to do the right thing? Whydo we have to tighten inspectorate sectionsof labour legislation to achieve improvedcompliance? Why do we have to deploy anarmy of inspectors to police compliancewith what is considered to be humanrights?
Felgate believes that if most domesticworker employers knew more of the re-quirements and processes to gain compli-ance, that they would do the right thing andcomplete the necessary procedures.
Our research into why so many employ-ers fail to legalise their domestic service ar-rangements indicates that while most em-ployers are keen to do the right thing, fewareaware that that their two-day-a-weekdo-mestic worker qualifies as an employee.
Non-compliance is therefore, in the ma-jority of cases, not a result of malicious in-tent, but rather a result of simply not know-ing what needs to be done, or how to do it.
Sadly, this is probably a result of manyyears of unregulated domestic employ-ment, where domestic work was seen as aninformal career and therefore not subject toany employment legislation. While I dothink that it is generally known that domes-tic workers are entitled to employmentrights, our research suggests that theremay be confusion as to what these rightsare, he says.
Laubscher confirmed that most of the in-spections are, and will continue to be donein residential areas, and that inspectorswould not accept ignorance as an excusefrom employers who are found not to com-
ply. In instances of non-compliance, inspectorsissue the employers with Undertaking andCompliance orders.
Says Felgate: Through the Domestere prod-
uct, Emergence Growth Services is well posi-tioned to guide anyone employing a domesticworker.

Die bruilofsanger van Goodwood sing virenigiemand wat wil luister, want daar is ietsin sy hart wat die wreld moet hoor.
Because, you come to me, with naught sa-ve love, sing Pieter le Roux (84). Die diep te-noorstem weergalm deur die kamer. Sy vrou,Hermine, sit oorkant hom en luister aandag-tig na die liedjie wat sy al n duisend keer ge-hoor het.
Pieter het Because gesing by die eerstetroue in 1949 waar hy ooit gesing het.
Daar het eendag n dametjie na my toe ge-kom en gevra dat ek by haar troue moet sing.Ek was bietjie gespanne, maar oor die jare hetek gewoond geraak daaraan, s Pieter, voor-dat hy byvoeg dat sy hele familie musikale ge-ne het.
Die bruilofsanger sal gewoonlik n liedjiesing net nadat die paartjie die ringe geruilhet.
Die bruid, bruidegom en al die gaste in diehuis vanGodsal dan luisternaPieter sehemel-se stem.
Ek is daardie dae 10 sjielings en ses penniesbetaal! Dit was n groot klomp geld, hoor, laghy. Met tien en ses kon jy n broek koop!
Pieter haal n boekie uit en spog so n bietjiedaarmee sonder om so ver te gaan om sy eiebeuel te blaas. Ek het elke liewe troue waarbyek gesing het, hierin geskryf! s hy.
Daar is vele inskrywings in sy boekie, metdie bruid se naam, die tyd en die kerk wat daar-in pronk.
TygerBurger blaai deur die boekie en kies nnaam uit die sowat 250 en vra, Kan jy onthouwatter kleur hare Ida Strydom gehad het toesy in 1954 getrou het?
Pieter dink diep en antwoord: Haar harewas bruin! Ek sien nog hul gesigte so voor my!
Hy het al n paar van die bruide gebel op hul50ste huweliksherdenking en hul gelukge-wens. Partykeer sal die bruid baie verbaaswees en uitvra hoe weet Pieter nou dat hul al50 jaar getroud is. Hy sal antwoord en dan komal die wonderlike gedagtes van gister weer in
die gesprek op.TygerBurger het by die Le Rouxs gaan
kuier om meer uit te vind oor Pieter setrouboekie en sy gewoonte om mense methul 50 jaar-huweliksherdenking geluk tewens, maar tydens die onderhoud het die fo-kus geskuif, want die liefde tussen Hermineen Pieter is werklik soos musiek in die ore.
Dit is baie lekker om saam met hom mu-siek te maak, s Hermine. Hulle is nou 19jaar getroud.
Ses maande n my vrou oorlede is, hetek aan Hermine se deur geklop. Ek is n ou-derling en het so van huis tot huis gegaan.My water was afgesny daardie dag, so toevra ek vir Mevrou Pretorius vir so n bietjietee!
Hermine Pretorius soos sy toe bekendwas het Pieter toe gevra om by n same-koms van die Hervormde Kerk die volgendeVrydag te sing. Hy het natuurlik ingestem.
Net nadat ek gesing het en gaan sit het,het ek haar gesien en gedink vir hr gaanek inkatrol! Hermine lag en s: Jy moetnie dit skryf nie hoor! Jammer Hermine...die storie is net te skatlik!
N 19 jaar is hul liefde nog net so sterksoos altyd, en n groot deel van hul verhou-ding is op musiek gegrond.
Een van Pieter se gunsteling-liedjies wathy by troues gesing het, is I walk besideyou, en dit is presies wat Hermine en Pie-ter elke dag doen al sing hy partykeer tehard in die bad!
Musiek is wysie vir di egpaar se liefde
Musiek anker die verhouding van Hermine enPieter le Roux. Sy speel die orrel of klavier enhy sing. Foto: Andr Bakkes

A new short-term wildlife care facility inGrassy Park, was officially opened byMarjorie Letoaba of the National Lotter-ies Board, and Cape of Good Hope (CoGH)SPCA Wildlife Unit Ambassador and en-vironmental campaigner, Lewis Pughlast Wednesday.
This centre was purpose-built to enablethe CoGH SPCA to provide emergency treat-ment and short-term care to a wide range ofinjured, sick and errant wild animals.
According to CoGH SPCA CEO Allan Per-rins, the need for a specialist facility hasbeen felt since they first began respondingto wildlife emergencies in early 2000.
With several nature reserves, a nationalpark and long coastline within the greaterCape Town metropole, coupled with agrowth in urban sprawl, the incidence of hu-man/wildlife conflicts has risen each year,he says.
However until now our ability to provideoptimal care andtreatment to the myri-ad of mammals, birds,reptiles and fish res-cued each year, hasbeen limited by thelack of specialist facil-ities to properlyhouse and care forthem, he said
The National Lot-tery DistributionTrust Fund (NLDTF)awarded funding ofR3 993 115 to theCoGH SPCA for thedevelopment of CapeTowns first Short-Term Wildlife CareFacility in November2010 and constructionbegan in earnest inSeptember 2011.
In addition to thefunds received fromNLDTF the CoGH
SPCA invested a further R620 000 from re-serve funds to enhance the original specifi-cations, bringing the cost to R4 613 115.
Designed by 4th Dimension Studios andbuilt by R+N Master Builders in record time,the completed 456m facility is convenientlylocated alongside the Inspectorate offices atthe CoGH SPCA in Grassy Park
The facility has been designed and mas-terfully built to enable us to simultaneouslycare for different types of wild animals re-quiring short-term treatment and care be-fore being released back to the wild, orwhere appropriate transferred to a long-term rehabilitation centre, said Brett Glas-by, CoGH SPCA Wildlife Unit supervisor.
Often all that the displaced animal needsis somewhere safe, warm and quiet to recov-er before being released back to the wild. Forthose with injuries, such as burns orwounds, or those that are emaciated and de-hydrated, we now have the facilities to pro-vide specialist treatment and care, he says.

LEON STEENKAMP
Although she is involved in the mostgruelling fight of her life, a local beautyqueen and motivational speaker is stillintent on making a difference in hercommunity.
Table View resident Sheryl Long is well-known for her achievements in the worldof beauty pageants and even more so for hercharity work.
Long was diagnosed with breast cancer in2004 after discovering a lump in her rightbreast. Despite the subsequent surgery andmany months of chemo and radiotherapy,she entered the Mrs South Africa competi-tion and won the title of Mrs Western Capein 2007.
Since then she has committed herself toa variety of charity work including the es-tablishment of the Race to Live organisa-tion. Race to Live consists of a small groupof volunteers who raises funds to help chil-dren with life-threatening diseases realisetheir dreams.
After winning her initial title Long hasalso won the Mrs Smile Western Cape andMrs Worldwide Queen of Hope in 2010 and2011 respectively.
In April last year Longs cancer returnedafter she broke her leg.
I have five permanent pins, a plate anda screw in my leg. Because of the massivetrauma, the cancer cells went haywire andformed a lump in my left breast, Long says.
The cancer was diagnosed as a new typeof carcinoma. She underwent a lumpecto-my (breast conserving surgery) and doctorsalso advised chemotherapy.
I refused it andwentmyownroute spir-itual healing, meditation and a special di-et.
In December the lump was back and the
cancer had started spreading to her lymphglands.
This time she opted for the chemo afterdoctors warned that the cancer couldspread to her organs within four weeks.
Her treatment needed to be postponed bytwo weeks however after Long was rushedto hospital with a burst appendix.
She started treatment early Februarywith a four-hour session every three weeks.Long is treated with the strongest dosage ofcyclophosphamide or doxorubicin onceevery three weeks.
The red cocktail has many negativeside effects like complete hair loss, nauseaand vomiting, diarrhoea, heart palpita-tions, dry skin, and watery, weakened eyes.
My veins are like rope and are painful,my bone marrow is suffering. My fingersand toes are numb, I have cramps all over.I had to extract a back tooth as a result asit was affecting my root canal. I have no ap-petite and no taste on my tongue.
So toxic is this cocktail that when mixingit, the nurses and pharmacists wear specialgloves as it will burn their skin on contact.
After chemo Long needs at least a weekto recover.
Blood tests are taken a day before mynext chemo, if my white blood cells are nothigh enough I need to inject myself daily forat least three days with an injection into mystomach.
This injection stimulates the growth ofwhite blood cells and allows Long to contin-ue with her chemotherapy the followingweek. This month she will switch to a light-er dosage.
My bone marrow is suffering from thehigh doses. This will be the final leg of mytreatment and thereafter I will still need tobe scheduled for a double mastectomy andbreast reconstruction, Long says.
She has however continued working in-
cludingher charityworkandassistingHuisZonnekus with various functions. She hasalso been doing community work in Atlan-tis and the Malachi safe house in Richwood.
The chemo has been a setback, but hasnot stopped me from continuing my pur-pose making a difference in my communi-ty. It has in fact led me to people whom Ihave been able to support going through thesame disease.
Despite having chemo only two days be-fore, Long competed in the Mzantsi AfricaMrs Western Cape pageant where she wonthe title.
Long has been inundated by messages.I am so pleased to assist younger girls
to follow in my footsteps. I have been askedto do various talks on being a Woman ofStrength andmotivational talksby just tell-ing my story thus far. I am so positive andhave surrendered my life to God complete-ly. I walk with the Word of God in my heartand know that I will overcome all of this.Any symptom I receive, I just speak outscriptures aloud and rebuke Satan awayfrom my body. I am strong and I know thatGod still has so much more for me to do. Iknow that my life will be eternal with Himin heaven, but as long as I am here on earth,in this life, I will make the most of my heav-en on earth, Long says.
Her courageous story will also shortlyfeature in a new magazine compiled byNicole Theunissen also a current breastcancer fighter. My choices will be aboutbreast cancer awareness. The magazinewill be distributed freely nationwide andwill be available from September in clinics,oncology rooms and doctors rooms.
I will be posing with my bald head on thecover. This is me, and people need to acceptthat I am still the same person inside al-though cancer has stolen my identity. It isonly temporary.
Beauty queen battles cancer
Sheryl Long recently won the Mzantsi Africa MrsWestern Cape title despite currently undergoing intensive chemotheraphy. Justin Hoffman of Bloubergwon the Mr Western Cape title.

The Sanccob bird rehabilitation centre inTable View was host to a very specialguest recently.
On 6 April a black-browed albatross be-came the latest addition the the centre.
The adult albatross landed ona fishing boat on its way to CapeTown and was fed fish by thecrew for a few days before dock-ing at the harbour.
The ships crew contactedSanccob and a volunteer re-sponder was sent to fetch the sea-bird which can easily live formore than 70 years in the wild.
Although very weak and un-derweight, Sanccob found no in-juries or poisoning after examin-ing the bird.
Nursing the gracious seabirdback to health, the Sanccob reha-bilitation team took extra care infeeding and hydrating the bird,and making sure it got sufficienttime in their local pool to water-proof its feathers. Over thecourse of two weeks, the birdsweight, hydration and water-proofing steadily improved withits blood tests coming back satis-factory.
On Friday 20 April the alba-tross was ready to be releasedback into the wild, but only in avery special way.
Courtesy of the WaterfrontBoat Company, which regularlydoes Sanccobs seabird releases,a special high-speed jet boat wassent to Cape Town Harbour topersonally chauffeur the alba-tross to Robben Islands westside for release. Once back in itsnatural habitat, the albatrosswas quick to broaden its large
wingspan and scoop the first gust of windback home.. Albatrosses are found on 12 islands
throughout the southern oceans and listedon the International Union for Conservationof Natures (IUCN) red list as endangered.

Aan almal wat Hom aangeneem het, di watin Hom glo, het Hy die reg gegee om kindersvan God te word. Johannes 1:12
Jou reg om Stadop tone te houUit die noordelike voorstede kom daar npluimpie vir die Stad Kaapstad.
Inwoners van di deel van die Stad, isdie meeste tevrede met die dienste wat dieStad in sy gebied doen. Dt blyk uit n jaar-liksepeilingwatdieStadonder sowat 4 000inwoners reg oor die stad gedoen het.
Hiervolgens s inwoners van die noor-delike voorstede dat hulle in die algemeenmeer tevrede is met die Stad se dienslewe-ring as verlede jaar. Hulle dink ook diemunisipale wetstoepassers doen in die al-gemeen beter werk.
Wat almal se rug egter teen die muurhet, is die ho prys van elektrisiteit. Ver-keersknope en die toestand van paaie is nander pyn in die nek. Inwoners s ook daaris steeds te min huise. Die 380 000 name opdie Stad se behuisingswaglys, getuig hier-van. Mense s ook hulle wag te lank omby munisipale klinieke aandag te kry.
Soos uit nuusberigte in TygerBurgerblyk, dink mense dat beter werk van on-wettige storting, lawaai in woonbuurte engrondbesetting gedoen kan word.
Die vraag is nou: gaan die Stad hieraanaandag gee, of gaan hy tevrede terugsit enfokus op dit wat goed werk?
Kom ons oefen steeds druk uit op dieStad om te sorg dat ons belastinggeld goedaangewend word. Meld elke voorval klein of groot aan, en volg dit op. Dis joureg, want di Stad s hy werk vir jou.

Hoekom is dit my probleem?Ek verwys na die artikel Cloned numberplates on the rise in TygerBurger van 2 Meiop bladsy 3.
Ek sit met dieselfde probleem dat iemandiewers in Johannesburg of Randburg metons voertuig se registrasienommerplaatrondry. Hy het vir die afgelope jaar of tweevele spoedoortredings-boetes opgestapel,wat almal na my toe kom.
Ek is vertel dat ek elke keer polisiekantoortoe moet gaan en n verklaring moet afl endit tesame met die boete na AARTO in Gau-teng stuur.
Hoekom is dit my probleem?Hoekom moet ek, om inhegtenisneming te
vermy, elke keer polisiekantoor toe gaan?Die polisie en verkeersdepartment moet
die krimineel wat met my nommerplaatrondry, voorkeer en aan die pen laat ry!
Is dit miskien moontlik om die kontak-nommer en/of e-posadres te verskaf van
Chief Inspector Merle Lourens from CityTraffic Services sodat almal met dieselfdeprobleem haar kan kontak vir opvolg en in-ligting stuur vir haar databasis.
Alternatiewelik kan Chief Inspector Mer-le Lourens self vir die publiek die e-pos-adres verskaf sodat almal met dieselfde pro-bleem kan bydra aan die databasis wat hullebegin het om dit te monitor en te gebruik virhulle Automatic Numberplate RecogcitionSystem by padblokkades.
Dit sal baie waardeer word.P.L. DU TOITDurbanvilleMerle Lourens (woordvoerder van ver-
keersdienste van die Kaapse stadsraad):Alle klagtes oor die gekloonde nommerplatekan gestuur word aan inspekteur MogamatZugdi van der Schyff by 021 406 8811/8877 ofper e-pos na [email protected].
Beveel ditwee aanDit gebeur telkens dat huiseienaars seke-re dienste benodig waarvoor hulleself niejuis opgewasse is nie.
Ons het onlangs na die noordelike voor-stede verhuis.
Met een kyk na die onnet tuin se 40 jaaroue gras en n muurtjie wat skaars knie-hoogte is, het ons besluit om deur middelvan TygerBurger na gepaste dienste tesoek.
Met min tyd ingedagte wou ek nie nmaand wag vir gras- en boudienste nie.
Na heelwat oproepe en luister na hoe se-kere besighede my nie kan help nie, hetek uiteindelik uitgekom by Fred Jordaanwat bouwerk doen, asook Greg van Centecwat tuine en besproeiingsdienste lewer.
Albei adverteer in die TygerBurger.Hierdie is twee sakemanne wie se werk
ek werklik kan aanbeveel.TEVREDE INWONERE-pos
Duiwe inPdelphiaDie venynige dwarsklap na die Phi-ladelphia-belastingbetalersvereni-ging (PBV) deur PLATTELANDERin die TygerBurger van 1 Mei(Wreedheid hinder hom) is onge-vraagd en onverdiend.
Die PBV het reeds by verskeie ge-leenthede die aangeleentheid vandie onvoltooide eiendom op Phila-delphia met die owerhede bespreeken daar is ook reeds van owerheids-we se kant af teen die eienaar opge-tree.
Die PBV sal die aangeleentheidweer onder die munisipaliteit vanKaapstad se aandag bring.
Onwelkome intrekkers soos diekransduiwe veroorsaak skade, is nsteurnis en duidelik ook nou nbron van onmin in ons dorp.
Voorstelle omdieprobleemaan tespreek en op te los sal verwelkomword.

In n onlangse uitgawe van die TygerBurgerword genoem dat huisbrake in die TableView/Bloubergstrand-gebied aan die toe-neem is.
Tydens die naweek van 21 April was ons-self slagoffers van n huisbraak. Die inbre-ker(s) het toegang via die toiletvenster gekrytoe hulle die diefwering afgebreek n en toe-gang tot die binnehof en motorhuis gekryhet. Saterdagoggend merk ek dat tuingereed-skap en ander gereedskap (party splinter-nuut en nog in hulle oorspronklike verpak-king) verdwyn het. Seker gesteel, dog ek toeek die items nie kon vind nie. Wasgoed watin die binnehof gehang het, was ook soek.Heel verslae en afgehaal begin ek inventarismaak. Voor ek verder kon kom, klop die poli-sie aan die deur. Dit is konstabel Schipperswat wil weet of daar n inbraak was.
Hy stel toe ondersoek in en sien die diefwe-ring wat afgebreek is en verduidelik wat
waarskynlik gebeur het. Hy moedig my toeaan om dadelik n klag te l by die TableView-polisiestasie.
Die konstabel aan diens het my verklaringbaie professioneel afgeneem. Voor die eindevan die dag was daar al n SMS wat die saak-nommer verskaf het. Sondagoggend waskonstabel Africa daar om vingerafdrukke teneem. Ek kon twee dae later die gesteeldegoedere gaan uitken. Kaptein Van der Watthet my flink gehelp en ons het feitlik al diegesteelde goedere teruggekry netjies ge-nommer en verpak in plastiek. Ek het op 30April weer n SMS gekry om te s dat die saakondersoek word en dat kaptein Swart die on-dersoek hanteer.
Die polisie verrig so dikwels n ondankba-re werk en kry meer kritiek as lof. Ek sBravo, SAPD van Table View!

Kromme Rhee, Stellenbosch
Remuneration: R 101 007 p.a. (Salary Level 5)
(Ref: DOTP 27/2012/TB)
Despite an earthy taste and odour experi-enced in drinking water in several partsof the city over the past weeks, the cityassures residents that the water is abso-lutely safe to drink.
Peter Flower, manager: Bulk Water, Wa-ter and Sanitation Department, said thetaste and odour are caused by geosmin,originating from several of the major damssupplying the city. The presence of geos-min was noted earlier in the year, and hasrecently reoccurred, Flower said.
Treatment with activated carbon has beenreintroduced and the water is perfectly fitfor human consumption. Continuous wa-ter quality monitoring by the citys SouthAfrican National Accreditation System(SANAS) accredited laboratory has revealedelevated geosmin concentrations, greaterthan 10 nanograms per litre (ng/l), saidFlower.
He said in general, the human perceptionthreshold is about 15 and 20 ng/l for geosminodour and taste respectively. People witha heightened sense of smell and taste would
be the first to notice the presence of geosminin their water supply. These are extremelylow concentrations and it should be notedthat a nanogram is a billionth of a gram,he said.
The taste and smell of the water is causedby geosmin and MIB (2-Methyl-iso-Borneol),naturally occurring compounds found insurface waters (rivers and dams) as organicmolecules produced by blue-green algae.
Bright sun, warm temperatures and nutri-ents result in ideal growing conditions forthe algae, however neither of these com-pounds is toxic nor harmful.
It has an earthy or musty smell, a smellthe human nose is extremely sensitive to.Heating the water increases the volatility ofthese compounds, which explains why thesmell is more easily detected when you arein the shower or making hot beverages.
The city is well-equipped to deal with theproblem and has achieved a score within thetop two positions since inception of the BlueDrop drinking water quality system threeyears ago that assesses all SAs water au-thorities annually.

The firefighter is breathing quickly andsweating profusely.
He just dragged two lengths of hose simulta-neously for 90metreswhile fully clothed inhisfirefighting gear. This is quite a feat sincethese hoses weigh 90 kilograms each.
The man is racing against the clock to com-plete the obstacle course at Goodwood FireStation.
He is competing against approximately 100firefighters from across South Africa in theToughest Firefighter Alive competition,which was held on Saturday.
He adjusts his breathing apparatus set andcontinues along the obstacle course throughtunnels. First he pulls a heavy human dum-my, then two drums of foam weighing 25 kilo-grams each, then he climbs a three metre walland jumps off on the other side.
With people urging him on, he runs to thetower and carries two 20 kilogram drums upto the third floor and then he pulls two lengthsof hose weighing 160 kilograms up the tower.
Finally, the man runs up a 23 floor fire es-cape with his full firefighting gear and breath-ing apparatus set. The contestant who suc-cessfully completes all four stages in theshortest period of time will be declared thewinner.
Almost 100 other firefighters completed thecourse and some of them were women!
Theo Layne, media spokesperson for Fireand Rescue Services, says some of the womenare so fit that there isnt a big difference be-tween the completion time of the sexes.
This competition is mainly strength andstamina orientated, he confirms.
As part of the firefighters daily routine,they are required to spend a certain amountof time in the gym daily. In fact, every fire sta-tion has a gym. Each firefighter will have anannual evaluation, and if they dont pass thenthey will have six months to get up to stand-ard.
Layne says that this event is the second ofits kind for Goodwood Fire Station, but thatits popularity is growing fast.
Last year we had 60 entrants and we hopewe have even more next year! he exclaims.
They opened the competition to the rest ofSouth Africa this year, so the number of con-testants nearly doubled.
There were also about 200 members of thepublic cheering on the firefighters, so Good-
wood Fire Station was buzzing with excite-ment from early on Saturday till late in theafternoon.
Next year we want a bigger venue, con-cludes Layne with a smile.
Oneof the contestants, LesleyColtman fromPort Elizabeth, had to face adversity beforethe event even started, because his gear wasstolen in Pinelands the evening before.
Says Coltman: We came through yesterday(Friday) and then someone stole all the equip-ment from the car. Theres been a lot of resist-ance for me to compete here today, but I be-lieve the breakthrough at the end will beworth it! If you cant kill me, youre only goingto make me stronger!
Its hard to believe that these firefighterscan actually become any stronger than theyalready are.
The eventual winner was Rudi van der Bergfrom Wynberg.

One of Bloubergstrands top life-guards is making the world a saferplace for children living along theWest Coast.
Derrick Frazer from Big Bay Events, aprofessional water safety service organi-sation, has joined forces with ShelleyPoint Hotel, Spa & Country Club in StHelena Bay to provide monthly swim-ming training and water safety lessons tothe children who form part of the hotelscommunity upliftment programme.
Ten children from the two local prima-ry schools, EJ Malgarte and SteenbergsCove, were selected by their teachers tobe part of the Dale Buddies programme.
Twice a month these children are givenswimming and water safety lessons in thehotels pool by professional lifesaversFrazer and Sarah Sandmann.
The children are aged between six andeight years. Their commitment to ourone-year programme will see them devel-op into competent swimmerswithagreat-er understanding of water safety, whichis of great relevance to a seaside commu-nity, says Frazer.
He adds that lifeguarding and watersafety should be more about preventinga possible drowning than recovering a pa-tient from drowning or near drowning.Frazers organisation is thus committedto teaching the children how to swim aswell as basic water safety.
Shelley Point is located in an areawhere a large percentage of the popula-tion is dependent on the sea and fishingfor a living. A significant number of thesefishermen cannot swim and are at a huge
risk daily.We feel that we can make a difference
with these youngsters by teaching themto swim so that they are more secureshould they follow the obvious careerpath for that area, Frazer adds.
Speedo has also teamed up with the ini-tiative, sponsoring towels, swimmingcaps and kick boards. Stuart Hopwood,brand president of Speedo, regularly at-tends the sessions and his hands-on ap-proach sees him spending time in the wa-ter with the children.
The Dale Buddies initiative waslaunched in 2010 by the investors of thehotel and spa The Dale Capital Group.
The community partnering pro-gramme allows the children at the localschools to use Shelley Points sporting fa-cilities its golf course, tennis courts,bowling greens and swimming pool fortraining under top coaches.
Thus far the initiative has proved huge-ly beneficial for the local community whoare often totally dependent on the fluctu-ating fishing industry.
Dale Capitals wish and intention, is toplay a big role in improving the lives ofthe disadvantaged communities in theShelley Point, St Helena and related are-as, says chairman of the group NormanNoland.
Big Bay Events is owned, managed andstaffed 100 percent by current lifeguardswho are committed to voluntary servicesfor the Big Bay Surf Lifesaving Club.Their passion and dedication to volun-tary services has been instrumental inthe organisation becoming the numberone safety company in Cape Town.
