Vraenáverdrinking inStrandJAMEY GORDON

“Hywasdie liefstekind.Niemandhetooitenigiets slegs van hom te sê gehad nie, hyhet altyd geglimlag en byna nooit kwaadgewordnie, enhet respekaan ieder en elkgetoon.”

Só onthouLatashaLouw (32) haar 18-jarigebroer, Vernon Naudé, wat op Vrydag 26 De-sember by Melkbaai in die Strand verdrinkhet.Naudé is vanMeltonRose, Eersterivier, en

souvanjaarsymatriekjaaraandieHoërskoolTuscany Glen aanpak. Hy wou ’n loopbaanin forensiese wetenskap volg.Naudéhetverdrinktoehysysusterse13-ja-

rige seun, Nathan Jacobs, wou red.Bewerings dat die poging om Naudé te red

om verskeie redes vertraag is en hommoont-lik sy lewe gekos het, het ook in die mediaopgeduik.Volgens ’n polisievrou, wat op die dag van

die verdrinking nie aan diens was nie ensaam met haar gesin op die strand was, het’n rubberboot van wetstoepassing vir ’n langruk sonder sleutels op die strand bly staanomdatdit globydiebetrokkebeampte sehuiswas en gehaal moes word. Boonop het red-dingswerkers sonder ’n tweerigtingradio dieonstuimige see ingevaar, het sy gesê. Vanafdie strand kon jy sien hoe die boot herhaaldekere verby Naudé ry, het sy bygevoeg.Volgens Richard Bosman, uitvoerende di-

rekteur vir veiligheid en sekuriteit van dieStad Kaapstad, was daar geen vertraging omdie sleutel te bekomnie.Bosmansêdie opera-teur het egter in die water tegniese problememet die boot se enjin ervaar.Bosman het ook bevestig dat reddingswer-

kers nie sonder ’n radio die see ingevaar hetnie.“Die operateur het via radio kontak met

reddingswerkers op die strand behou, maarhet egter geen kontak gehadmet die helikop-terwat deelgeneemhet in die soektog nie om-

dat dit op ’n verskillende frekwensie op-vang,” verduidelik Bosman.Wat op daardie noodlottige dag gebeur het

laat steeds vrae vir die familie, sê Louw. SyverduidelikdatJacobs,haargrootmaakkind,by haarma inEersterivier gekuier het en diéoggend saam met Naudé, dié se vriendin enLouw se 12-jarige dogter strand toe is vir diedag.“Daarwasaanmyoorvertel datVernonvir

Nathan probeer red het ná hy in die moeilik-heid beland het,” sê Louw.DaarwordbeweerdatJacobslaterdeurom-

standers gered is. Naudé is egter dieper diesee ingetrek.Volgens Shandor Cylvan, voorsitter van

die Strand Surf Lifesavers-klub, het Jacobseen van die menseredders aan diens op diestrand oorkant Ben’s On The Beach restau-rant genader vir hulp. Cylvan sê Jacobs hetslegs aan die menseredder gesê sy oom wordvermis. Dit was onseker of Naudé op diestrand of in die water verdwyn het. Die men-seredderhetdusvirJacobsnadiegesamentli-ke operasionele sentrum op die strand ge-neem waar daar later vasgestel is dat Naudéin die moeilikheid was.Volgens Bosman moet dit in ag geneem

worddat ’n geruime tydverby gegaanhet ter-wyldaarprobeer is omvas te stelwaarNaudéverdwyn het.’n Span van sowat 10 menseredders het

saammetreddingswerkersvandieNasionaleSeereddingsinstituut (NSRI), wetstoepas-

sing, plaaslike polisie en buurtwaglede Nau-dé probeer red. Maar tevergeefs. Ná ’n soek-tog omstreeks 15:00 Vrydag van stapel ge-stuur is, is Naudé se lyk ná 10:00 die volgendeoggend gevind.Gert Bam, direkteur van sport, ontspan-

ning en geriewe vir die Stad Kaapstad, sêMelkbaai vorm nie deel van die aangewesemensereddersgebied nie. Dus is diemees ide-ale swemgebied voor die menseredders seklubhuis, soosdeurhullegeïdentifiseerenopdie dag van die voorval met rooi en geel vlag-gies aangedui is.“Daar was 25 menseredders op die dag van

die voorval aan diens.“Geen menseredders was egter aan diens

waarNaudégeswemhetnie omdat die gebiednie een van die aangewese swemgebiede isnie,” sê Bam.Bosman sê al het die voorval buite die afge-

bakende swemgebied gebeur, het die mense-redders steeds op die voorval reageer.Volgens Louw sukkel hul familie nog om

die dood van haar jongste broer te verwerk.Sy sê dis veral moeilik vir Jacobs. “Ons isgeskok dat ons geliefkoosde kind so skielikvan ons weggeneem is. Ons is nog baie seer,maar dit is alles deel van die Here se plan enons kan slegs dankie sê vir die tyd wat onssaam met hom deurgebring het,” sê Louw.Naudé word Saterdag uit die Nazarene

Kerk begrawe. Die kerkdiens begin om 09:00,en hy sal om 12:00 by die Welmoed Begraaf-plaas in Melton Rose ter ruste gelê word.

The inspiring lifeofDonWesselsTAMSYN JANTJIES

The start of a new year of-ten brings with it newhope and dreams, as wellas the knowledge that no-one knows the challengesof the next 365 days.

As the clock strikes 00:00every 1 January, most peo-ple make resolutions to tack-le the new year with vigourand be positive all-yearround – although these areoften lost by the wayside asthe year progresses.

Meet Don Wessels fromSomerset West – a man whowas given a second chanceat lifeandwhohasundertak-en to live his entire life witha constant verve.

In his 44-year life, he hasovercome many hurdles andlives by the mantra of livinghis life to the fullest.

At the young age of 19, helost both his hands and eyesin a devastating explosion while serving inthe army. Don and his troops were investigat-ing the wreck of a reconnaissance plane inAngola in 1989. But there was a pitfall.

Don’s commander threw a disk-like objectto him. After he tampered with the device, itexploded in his face.

Three hours later a rescue team finallyreached the wreck and transported Don to alocal hospital, where he was stabilised. Oncetransported to a South African military hos-pital, he received the devastating news of theforced amputation of both his hands and re-moval of his eyes.

Since then, the father of three has been de-

termined to tackle every obstacle in his wayand live a normal lifestyle – despite goingthrough a patch of post traumatic stress.

“I have always been a very positive personandIhaveneverallowedanyhurdleorpersondetermefrommycourse,” theavid fishermansays.

“I believe if you don’t throw out a line, ev-erything in life will pass you by. Many peoplesee me as a walking motivation.”

He met his wife Maatje and tied the knotin2001aftermeeting throughamutual friend.The couple does everything other couples do– sometimes even more adrenaline- filled ad-ventures such as climbing and conquering

Mount Kilimanjaro.His love for throwing a line

hasalsoseenhimfish incoun-tries such as Namibia, Zanzi-bar and Tanzania.

Don mostly draws inspira-tion from his three sons, Mat-teo (7), Francois (5) and Gido(3). “Since thebirthofmychil-dren, I feel less disabled. I amlike any other father; I wantthem to enjoy their childhoodand do things any other childwould do,” he explains.

The professional motiva-tional speaker, who holds adoctorate in political studies,often uses humour during hispresentations. Anecdotes andstories from occurrences inhis life end up being motiva-tional lessons for those at-tending his talks. “I like doingthings for others; that’s justmy way of doing it. I believepeople need constant motiva-tion to reach their full poten-tial,” Don says.

Apart from working as amotivational speaker, he also works in theproperty industry and is very self-sufficient.

A specially made computer allows him toaccomplish all his assigned tasks, while healso boasts a typing rate of any average per-son. The computer’s keyboard has large but-tons for typing and has a voice programmethat reads out what is typed.

But his life achievements thus far are notDon’s ultimate goal. “I would like to enrol foranother course in politics in the near future,”he tells DistrictMail.

“I love open spaces and the freedom it hasto offer, so I hope to one day live a peacefullife on a farm.”

‘Geenorde inMacassar;menseniebangvir polisie’

Ek voel jammer vir Macassar-inwoners watgebuk gaan onder misdaad en wil nie onsen-sitief voorkom met ’n rusverstoring klag nie.

My onsensitiewe bure het Saterdag 22 No-vember vanaf 22:30 tot die volgende dag 09:20oorverdowende musiek in hul agterplaas ge-maak.

Ek het Macassar-polisie 13 keer gebel – dieeen keer wat hul na die huis gekom het, hetdie polisieoffisiere met my buurvrou vir vyfminute gesels.

Toe hulle om 23:10 wegry, word die musieknog harder gespeel en die gaste sing kliphardsaam.

Ek skakel toe ’n paar noodnommers in diehoop dat daar iemand is wat my kan help.

Ek het 13 keer 10111 gebel, maar die foonhet net gelui – dis dieselfde nommer wat diepolisie glo my klag gerapporteer het. Ek hetook die name van die twee offisiere wat bymy buurvrou was, gevra, maar hulle kon ditnie verskaf nie, want hulle het glo nie diebeamptes uitgestuur nie.

Ek het die Metropolisie by 021 480 7700twee keer gebel. Hier moes ek lank luisterna ’n opname wat sê jy moenie die foon neer-sit nie, maar my lugtyd was aan die uitloop.

Ek het ook wetstoepassing by 0860 765 423geskakel. Hierdie nommer het ek ook tweekeer gebel en hulle het belowe om iemandna die adres te stuur.

Terselfdertyd het ek wetstoepassing by021 596 1999 ook twee keer geskakel, en die-selfde is aan my belowe.

Ek het ook e-posse aan Macassar-polisie enStad Kaapstad gestuur, maar my e-pos aandie polisie het misluk en ek wag steeds virterugvoering van die Stad.

Ek het ook geen vreugde gekry met tweetsna die Stad en DA, sowel as my klagtes opFacebook nie.

Ek het telefonies met vier persone by diepolisiestasie gepraat – die een persoon hetaangedring dat ek Engels praat, want hy ver-staan nie Afrikaans nie. Ek sidder om te dinkwat sou gebeur het as ek in ’n noodsituasiewas en slegs van die polisie of wetstoepassingse hulp afhanklik was.

Op Maandag 24 November het ek die saakby die polisiestasie aangemeld – daar is ekvan bakboord na stuurboord gestuur en hetweggestap met ’n belofte dat iemand my salkontak.

Hier is nie meer orde in Macassar nie; klag-tes val op dowe ore en ons loop gefrustreerdrond terwyl die oortreders breëbors rond-loop.

Ek stel voor ons kies ’n nuwe raadslid wataan almal se klagtes aandag gee – nie net dievan rykes nie. ’n Raadslid wat Macassar wilsien vooruitstreef en nie net op hul eie belan-ge fokus nie.

Tagtig persent van inwoners praat en ver-staan Afrikaans; kan 80% van die polisiemagnie Afrikaans wees?

Ons ouer garde sukkel om op hierdie stadi-um te leer Engels praat.

Kan 50% van die lede nie van die gemeen-skap afkomstig wees nie? Hulle ken die ge-bied goed, kan flink optree as daar ’n noodis en sal lojaal wees.

Voorheen kon kriminele nie kanse vat soosvandag nie, want die polisie het daardie tydgeweet wie jy is. Vandag is hul nie bang virdie polisie nie.

Dit het vroeër gewerk en dit kan weerwerk, mits die regering besef dat hul reëlsnie werk nie.

Tot die Rasta’s het ’n fees wat hulle Sondag-middae in ’n woongebied hou. Kan die feesnie op die ou sportveld gehou word nie?

Ons kan Macassar saam opbou. Die helftevan die probleme kan ons oplos as ons me-kaar respekteer.

Respekteer ander se lewe; moenie moor enverkrag nie. Respekteer ander se besittings;moenie inbreek en vat wat nie aan jou be-hoort nie.

Respekteer mekaar se geloof; moenie me-kaar kritiseer of jou geloof op ander afdwingnie. Respekteer mekaar, wees vriendelik,neem ander in ag en moenie opsetlik konflikveroorsaak nie.

DEBBIE MYBURGHMACASSAR

Macassar-polisie se stasiebevelvoerderlt.kol Sindile Mbese se kommentaar:“Hierdie kantoor neem kennis van die klagtesen sentimente vanmev.Myburghenkanbeves-tig dat sy die stasiebevelvoerder besoek het ra-kende ’n klag oor dienslewering. Die klagword ondersoek. Die stasiebevelvoerder wasverbaas oor diewysewaaropdie klaer hanteeris en is in die proses om regstellende aksie teneem.Priya Reddy, mediabestuurder: woord-

voerder vir die Stad Kaapstad: “Die Stadbeskou die klagtes in ’n ernstige lig en sal on-dersoek instel na die bewerings van die klaer.Die Stad sal die nodige aksie neem wanneerdie ondersoek gefinaliseer is.”Raadslid JohnHeuvel, subraadvoorsit-

Liveoutsideyourselfthis year

At the start of each new year, resolu-tions are drawn up – we undertaketo quit smoking, lose weight, join agym or live a healthier lifestyle.

But a couple of weeks after thesevows are made, they recede intomemory.

Instead of the usual resolutionsthis year, why not decide to get in-volved in your community to makea difference?

Join the neighbourhood watch,start a feeding scheme, coach a ju-nior soccer team or attend commu-nity meetings to highlight concerns.

So much more can be achieved ifeveryone joins hands.

Thanks for caringaboutourdogs, but...

I am pre-empting a possible reportabout us leaving our dogs in the carat the Virgin Active car park on Satur-day 3 January at about 12:00.

It was a mild cloudy day, but the carwas nevertheless parked under a tree.Three of the four windows had been leftpartially open, two at about 60 mm andone at about 120 mm.

The car was left unlocked.When we returned from shopping 20

minutes later, the car guard reportedthat when our parking neighbours re-turned to their vehicle, our dogs beganbarking, as they do when they feel theyneed to protect their master’s posses-sions.

These people apparently thought thedogs were barking because they hadbeen locked in the car!

They then proceeded to note downour licence plate number and involvedthe car guard in their observation, say-ing they were going to report us.

On our return the dogs were sittingquietly, as they always do when wait-ing for us – except when somebodycomes near our car!

We appreciate our “parking lotneighbours” being concerned aboutour dogs’ welfare, but we would liketo assure them that we would neverleave our dogs in the car without openwindows, nor would we leave them inthe car if it were a hot day.

But we thank them for caring.MARIE OGIELA

Locals aboutholiday visitors

Many locals avoid beaches during the festiveseason. It’s just anunpleasant battle for spaceon the roads and beaches, they feel.On the other hand, there’s no better signal

that it’s holiday season than when a line ofcars moving slowly down Beach Road beltsout the latesthits throughopenwindows.Andthe monetary injection is also welcome.We spoke to some locals for their views.

ZABIAN SWARTS(Strand): Visitors tothe area are goodfor tourism and theeconomy. However,there should bemore control, aspeople bring theirown food and –sometimes – wea­pons as well. Thevisitors create a fes­tive atmosphere; Ifeel like a differentperson during thisseason. PHOTOS: TAS-MIN CUPIDO

PHIRDOUZE TELHO(Strand): On NewYear’s Day, the trainswere really full; itwas very scary. Iworked at a store inSomerset Mall overthe holiday period,so I saw a definiteincrease in shoppersduring this time.

FANIE KRUGER(Strand): The festiveseason was fine;there were not asmany visitors as inprevious years. Ithink the wind blewpeople away. I be­lieve somethingshould be done tocontrol the use of al­cohol on beaches, aspeople do not watchtheir children whenthey are intoxicated.

NICHOLAS GILBERT(Gordon’s Bay): Peo­ple who visit the ar­ea often bring theirown food and donot support localbusinesses. Localsprefer to remain intheir homes, becausevisitors occupy thearea. The number ofvisitors to the beachshould be regulated,so that it is not sopacked. As a busi­ness owner, I noticedpeople only enteredwhen they needed touse the bathroom fa­cilities and ended upleaving it in a mess.

CHRISNA OTTO(Gordonsbaai): Ditwas ’n besige Kers­seisoen. Gedurendehierdie tyd neem ditlanger om te komwaar jy wil wees–ons wou Kaapstadtoe gaan, maar dithet ons twee ure ge­neem om uit dieStrand te kom. Ter­selfdertyd skep diebesoekers ’n lekkeratmosfeer en jy kanvoel dis vakansie.

CHANELLE STEYN(Gordonsbaai): Ditwas verskriklik besigen nie lekker nie,want dit neem lan­ger om by jou be­stemming uit te kom.Ons kon nie eensstrand toe gaan nieen moes na ’n stillergedeelte, wat besoe­kers nie van weetnie, gaan. Dit wasongerieflik vir plaas­like mense.

DEIDRE VAN DERMERWE (Somerset­Wes): Dit was chao­ties, maar stiller asvorige jare. Ek dinkdie minder besoekersis as gevolg van dieswak ekonomie. Ekwas Nuwejaarsdagop die strand en ditwas glad nie vol ofongerieflik nie.

LANCE PHILANDER(Strand): Ek is ’n vis­handelaar en diefeesseisoen wasgoed vir my besig­heid – ek het baiemeer vis verkoop.Daar was baie ver­keer en geen anderprobleme, behalwevir die mense watverdrink het.

Amessage to town leadersNew Year’s Day – what a lovelyday it was; what a ghastly day itwas.Pleasedon’treadanythinginto

the following words other thanwhat is written and don’t readthis as a blow to our lawmen.Theydowhatevertheycanunderthe given circumstances.Now that we have experienced

another “filthy” New Year’s Dayin our beautiful dorp – for theumpteenth time – we must nowact. Elected managers of ourtown, hear this and listen good.Be proactive.We have seen so many times

that handling any kind of situa-tion reactively results in a lose-lose situation. Therefore, beingreactive does not work. Now it istimetobeproactive.Andtheonlyway it will work next time, is bygetting the following in place:

) Determine the number of le-gal parkingbays inBeachandDeBeers Roads, as well as the littleconnecting roads. That is thenumberofvehiclesthatcanbeac-commodated; the rest is overflowand shouldbe shownaway.Havestrategic booms set up with law-menhandling the flow.Thismes-sage needs to be advertisedmonths before a New Year’s Daytopreventanypointofuncertain-ty. First come; first served.

)A parking space in any ofsaidallocatedparkingareasneedto be priced per car to generateadditional income to cover thecosts of cleaning up the beachgo-ers’ filth afterwards. Payment

can be made when entering at aboom.

) Enforce a ban on all busesand taxis, except in two strategicplaces, such as the golf courseand station. [These can become]drop-offplacesandbusesandtax-is need to vacate to a pre-deter-mined parking area such as aschool groundormunicipal openspace.

)A smaller fee per adult, pay-able at the station by train usersand the bus drop-off zones, mustbe raised before any individualis allowed on the beach.

) Camping and enjoying thedaywillberestrictedtothebeach– the white sand and grass areasalong the seaside of Beach Roadonly.Having just these five rules in

place will put authorities in aproactive position to monitor,police and create an environ-mentforeveryonetoenjoyawon-derful beach day. It will free upthe congestion, minimalise thefilth and keep beachgoers on thebeach–andoutofanyprivateres-idence driveways and off pave-ments.Please elected officials in

charge of our dorp, we are fed-upwith the unacceptable fiascoyear after year. If you cannot getit right, appoint someone whocan, but just do it. Be the mana-gers you were elected to be.Iamlookingforwardtoalovely

clean New Year’s Day next year.CHRISTO THOMSON

He warned reef anglers to be onthe lookout for these rays and becareful when wading to and fromreefs, as well as when jumping offthe reef towade to the shore or shal-lower reef when the water rose.Stingrays are often lured nearer

reports of good catches of geelbekby commercial and recreationalboats in Simon’s Town.Earl Fenwick, who fished for yel-

lowtail offCapePoint in theBellowsareaonSunday, saidhe caught onlyone yellowtail and one katonkel.He stated that at 25 fathoms there

was a distinct thermo climb thatregistered on his echo sounder.This phenomenon is always indi-

cated by a red line.Earl further explained that this

thermo climb is possibly the reason

that shoals of fish like yellowtail,geelbek and kob are driven closerinshore.Well known charter boat skipper

Bad luck plagues localsduring TransAgulhasLadyLuck turnedher back on lo-cals Marc Gleed (pilot) and Wil-tasLeeuwner (co-pilot), racing inthe Pro Stock class in the BrentOil sponsored boat, during thisyear’s Trans Agulhas InflatableBoat Challenge.Gleed says they broke two

floorboards, ruptured a petroltank and also had their car keysand cellphones stolen during thecourse of the race.The 800km race, which started

in Plettenberg Bay on Sunday 28December and finished onStrandBeachonThursday1Jan-uary, saw 30 boats in competi-tion.The first mishap occurred

60km into the race, near theKnysna Heads, when one of theboat’s floorboards broke.This forced them to take the

boat throughtheheads thenrushto their base in Mossel Bay,where they replaced the floor-board before being able to com-pete in the surf race.On the leg from Mossel Bay to

Stilbaai theyweredoingwellandwereamong the top-sixboatsandthirdintheirclass,whentheyno-ticed fuel in the boat near theGourits River Mouth. “I lookeddown at the fuel bladder and sawit had ruptured; there was fuelall over the boat. To make mat-tersworsewehadalsobrokenan-

other floorboard.Wemanaged tolimp into Stilbaai and repair theboat before the stage to Struis-baai,” Gleed says.In rough waters the next day

they ran close to the shore andmade up good time without anyproblems. The pair had anothergood clear run and finished sec-ondintheirclassattheovernightstop at Hawston Beach.That night their vehicle’s keys

and cellphones were stolen andsomeone had to drive back toSomerset West in another vehi-cle to get spare keys.On the final day fromHawston

TOUCHRUGBYSERIES:H’BERG’S SCORE LIVING LEGENDSMAKE IT TWO INA ROW

Teamrewrites TouchieshistoryThe Helderberg based Score Liv-ing Legends rugby team madetouch rugby history in Decemberwhen they lifted the National AllGoldHotSummerofTouchrugbytournament trophy for the sec-ond consecutive year.

No other team in the history ofthis popular touch rugby tourna-ment has ever managed to achievethis impressive feat.

This is especiallypleasing for thisteam,manyofwhomtravelledintheback of a bakkie to participate inthis event in 2008. That year theplayers did not have a sponsor andhad to camp in a tent near the differ-ent venues and used their prizemoney, gleaned from winning dif-ferent stages, to buy food.

The following year the team re-ceived a sponsorship and went onto win the tournament.

Manager/coachNigel Phillips be-lieves touch rugby has really gonefromstrength to strength in theHel-derberg, as six of the top teams com-peting in this year’s tournamentwere from the area. These teamsare: Score Living Legends, Reds,Dwergies, Pacific Blue, Hawaiiansand the Drifters.

The tournament kicked off inCampsBayon14Decemberandend-ed on 31 December in Hartenbos.

The Score Living Legends wonfive of the seven legs of the tourna-ment and played in two semi-finals.

Their road to the title was as fol-lows: 14 December – Camps Bay(semi-finals), 16 December – Strand(winners), 21 December – OnrusBeach (winners), 23December Stru-isbaai (semi-finals), 26 December –

Stilbaai (winners), 29 December –DiazBeach (winners)and31Decem-ber – Hartenbos (winners).

Phillips says the superb captain-cy and leadership of Fabian Philan-der kept the team focussed during

all seven stages of the event.He adds that thehardwork,many

hours of practise and dedication byall the team members led to theirsuccess.

He further thanks everyone whohelped inpreparing the team for thetournament, especially Morne Ad-ams, Armien Bailey and sponsorsScore Energy Drink, Le Roux Con-radie and former international ten-nis star Björn Borg for their unfail-ing support.

As a result of the team’s success,Phillips says, they plan to partici-pate in a number of Sevens tourna-ments around the Cape this seasonto see how they will fare.

The Score Living Legends teammembers are: Fabian Philander,Patrick van Wyk, Nazeem Wood,Harry Fingers, Christopher Jo-sephs, Michael la Meyer, FrancoOktober (all fromStGeorges), Brad-ley Mentoor (Helderberg RFC),Nannie Latief (Strand Secondary),Zandé de Klerk (no club), and Ash-will Gordon (Springbok TouchRug-by player).
