Seun gered uit kookkarDESIRE RORKE

@dezzierorke

n Agtjarige seuntjie is Saterdag vann gewisse dood gered toe inkopie-gangers hom uit n snikhete motorbevry het.Die kwik het in daardie stadium ver oor

die 30 C gestyg.nBrackenfeller,AnjeUys,wat omsowat

11:00 op die seuntjie in die parkeerterreinvan die Tygervallei-inkopiesentrum inBellville afgekom het, vertel: Daar waseers die harde stampe teen n vensterruitwat my laat omkyk het, en toe hoor ek die

gehuil.Syhetnader gestap endie toneel hethaar

yskoud gelaat.Die kindhet desperaat teen die ruite bly

slaan. Hy was aan die huil en papnat ge-sweet. Ekhet dadelik die sentrumbestuurgebel en natuurlik die polisie se noodnom-mer, maar net n antwoordmasjien gekry.Uys het n karwag nader geroep en hom

gevra omdie sentrumsekerheid te ontbied.Intussen het ek en my ma aan hom pro-

beer verduidelik om die kar van binne afte probeer oopmaak, maar die deure wounie oop nie. Hy was vasgekeer.Volgens Uys het die sentrum se seker-

heidshoof sewe minute later aangehard-loop gekom.Sy het die kind gevra wat sy ouers se

nommer is en het teruggehardloop om hul-le te skakel.Die karwagte was te bang om die venster

oop te slaan sonder toestemming.Indaardie stadiumhet andermenseook

nader gestaan en een ontstokeman het uit-geroep dat daar nie tyd is om langer te wagnie.n Ander man het toe na sy motor toe

gehardloop om nmoersleutel te kry, waar-na hy die kar se ruit stukkend geslaan het.Die kind is uit die kar getel en ons het hom

dadelik water gegee en in n lugverkoeldemotor laat sit om af te koel, s Uys.Volgens Uys was die kind ten minste 30

minute lank in die voertuig vasgekeer.Ek het my kop by die kar ingesteek en

dit was ver oor die 40 grade daar binne.Ek kon skaars asemhaal. Ek kanmynie

indink hoe dit vir die kindmoes gevoel hetnie.Volgens Laretha Blom, bemarkingsbe-

stuurder van die sentrum, het sekerheids-personeel by die sentrum volmag om nkind of n troeteldier in n noodgeval uit nwarm kar te red.

DESIRE RORKE@dezzierorke

Some 359 confiscated taxis are cur-rently crammed into the City of CapeTowns taxi pound which has beenfilled to capacity since September thisyear.

According to city ward councillors inBrackenfell and Kraaifontein the situa-tion is untenable as it prevents effectivepolicing on one of the areas busiest maintaxi routes, being Old Paarl Road, whereillegal taxis could not be confiscated.

Traffic official Stanley Opperman in-formed the councillors of this state of af-fairs when they questioned the traffic en-forcement statistics for the month of Sep-tember it reflected a zero for taxiimpoundments for the period.

Why is the taxi pound full?Countless reports of lawless taxi driv-

ers on this specific route are received ona weekly basis.

Ward councillor Roxanne Hoorn ex-pressed her dissatisfaction.

Why is the taxi pound full? Where arethe contingency plans? she wanted toknow.

In response to a media enquiry, JPSmith, mayoral committee member forsafety and security, explained that theCitys Traffic Service has increased en-forcement levels in response to publiccomplaints, resulting in the impound-ment of a very large number of taxis.

We have asked the supply chain man-agement officials to increase the frequen-cy of vehicle auctions to assist with clear-ing the pound. We have also recently in-creased the size of the vehicle pounddramatically, he said.

Taxis are normally impounded whenthey operate contrary to the NationalLand Transportation Act. This could bewithout or contrary to the conditions oftheir operating licenses.

Smith says taxi owners in all probabili-ty avoid collecting their taxis because

they cant afford the impoundment re-lease fee, or to evade outstanding war-rants of arrest for old offences.

Unsafe vehicles crushedA release fee of a first offence fine is

R7 000, second offence fine R10 000 andthird offence fine R15 000.

To address the problem, the City willhence hold monthly auctions as well as ex-panding their vehicle storage facilities.

However, auctions require a numberof logistical arrangements including veri-fying a vehicles status with the South Af-rican Police Service and whether it can besold on auction.

Currently, there are only two policemembers available to clear these identi-fied vehicles, Smith said.

Vehicles that are deemed to be unsafeto be allowed on the road are crushed.

Smith said that policing will not be af-fected as 59 vehicles were auctioned offlast week, leaving additional space fornow.

No space for impounded taxisVERVOLG VAN BLADSY 1

In di spesifieke geval wou die betrokke se-kerheidshoof eers probeer om die ouers tekontak.Diekindhetpaniekerig geraakomdatdaar soveel mense om die kar saamgedromhet. Nadat die kind uit die kar gered is, is hyna ons beheerkamer begelei waar sy pa hometlike minute later kom haal het.

Volgens Blom het die Bellville-polisie n dievoorval by die sentrum aangekom, maar geenklagtes is aanhangig gemaak nie.

In sulke omstandighede kan klagtes vankinderverwaarlosing egter teen ouers inge-bring word, s kapt. Fienie Nimb, woord-voerder van die Bellville-polisie.

Volgens Blom het die kind se pa die oggenddie bank besoek.

Die ander twee kinders is saam met homin, maar die seuntjie wou glo nie saam metsy familie gaan nie en het daarop aangedringom in die kar te wag, s sy.

Chitra Bodasing, n woordvoerder vanER24, waarsku ouers om onder geen omstan-dighede ooit n kind alleen in n motorvoer-tuig te laat nie.

Op n warm dag kan n kind sterf. Al is diemotor in die skadu parkeer, verhit die binne-kant van n motor astronomies vinnig. As dietemperatuur byvoorbeeld 33 C buite is, kandit binne n kwessie van minute tot ver oor40 C styg, en met elke daaropvolgende mi-nuut nog verder tot soveel as 70C.

n Kind of troeteldier sou erg ontwater inn kort tydperk, wat kan lei tot hitte-uitput-ting wat lewensgevaarlik is. Dis moeilik omte s hoe lank so n kind sal uithou. Dit salafhang van verskeie faktore soos die kind segesondheid, ouderdom, die kleur van dievoertuig en of die lugverkoeling voor die tydaan was, s sy.

Volgens Eugene Herbert van RAC DrivingSolutions, is dit belangrik om te weet hoe jouvoertuig se slotte werk.

Motors met n sogenaamde deadlock-funk-sie verhoed dat die motor van binne af oopge-maak kan word sonder n afstandbeheertoe-stel. Die funksie is ontwerp om n dief te ver-hoed om die voertuig oop te maak n die ruiteuitgeslaan is, maar dit is belangrik om te ver-staan hoe die funksie werk en of daar n ma-nier is om dit met die hand te omseil, s hy.

V In 2006 het n klein seuntjie wat agter-insy pa se motor gel en slaap het, van hitte-uit-putting gesterf toe sy pa, Andrew Wilkinson,n dosent by die Universiteit van Kaapstad,hom daar vergeet het.

Die temperatuur was op die betrokke dag26 C.

Kraaifontein en Brackenfell sal die eerstewoonbuurte in Kaapstad wees met rolstoel-vriendelike sypaadjies.

n Mosie in di verband is onlangs by dieBergdal-subraad ingedien n verskeie klag-tes vanuit die gestremde gemeenskap.

Ek het verskeie kere met senior groepevergader en ek het ook met blinde personeen mense in rolstoele vergader en elke keerduik dieselfde ding op dat die Stad Kaaptaddie gestremde gemeenskap nie in ag neemwanneer beplanning gedoen word nie, sdie wykraadslid Grant Twigg, wat volkomemet die stelling saamstem.

Volgens hom is die talle sypaadjies waarlamppale en verkeerstekens reg in die mid-del daarvan geplant is, sprekende voorbeel-de.

Vir n normale persoon is dit maklik omom die paal te loop, asook vir iemand watblind is, maar n rolstoel kan ongelukkignie by die paal verby nie, s hy.

In die mosie versoek Twigg die Stad omalle lamppale, naamborde en verkeerste-kens van sypaadjies in Kraaifontein enBrackenfell te verwyder en dat die projekas n modelprojek moet dien om al die sy-paadjies in Kaapstad rolstoel-vriendelik temaak.

Dit word toenemend duidelik dat terwyldie Stad voortdurend besig is met die uitrolvan dienste aan die brer gemeenskappe indie Stad Kaapstad, ons nie voldoende oor-weging gee aan ons gestremde inwonersnie, het hy in die mosie ges.

Grant meen dat die projek die Stad Kaap-stad na n nuwe, hor vlak van dienslewe-ring sal neem deurdat die hele gemeenskapin ag geneem word.

Vriendeliker sypaadjies kom

An advertisement for Western Cape traf-fic officer learnerships placed on Gumtreeand asking for a R150 application fee isa scam, provincial traffic chief Kenny Af-rica confirmed on Monday.

The advertiser calls himself or herselfViolet Naidoo and uses a Gmail address.The person claims to own a 100% black-owned recruitment company with a man-date from the department of transport andpublic works to recruit candidates fortraining, said Africa.

Members of the public are advised that

the department never makes use of anyagency to recruit candidate traffic offi-cers, and that no application fees are everpayable. Advertisements for trainee traf-fic officers only ever appear in newspa-pers and on the website of the WesternCape government. The only entity withany authority to recruit and train provin-cial traffic officers is the departmentsGene Louw Traffic College in Bracken-fell.

Africa said the department was alertedto this scam by an aspiring traffic officer

who wanted to verify whether the Gum-tree advertisement was legitimate.

The man said he had applied to becomea traffic officer three times, having passedtwo out of three tests. He was willing topay the application fee if indeed it wouldgive him a chance to be considered again.V Members of the public are requested to alertthe Gene Louw Traffic College on 021 983 1500to report any similar attempts to defraud hopefuljob seekers. The matter has been reported to theprovincial and national fraud and corruption combating authorities.

Not a ticket to get traffic cop training


Sowat 500 trotse Kraaifonteiners het Sater-dag na die Horskool Eben Dnges toe ge-stroom om hul kopie van die lang verwagteboek, Kraaifontein Stories, op te raap.

Die boek is Saterdagoggend amptelik be-kendgestel. Die skrywer, Caren Cronj-Car-stens, het gepraat oor verskeie spesialehoofstukke in die boek.

Uit die stories is dit duidelik dat die men-se van Kraaifontein goeie rede het om trotste wees op hul dorp. Kraaifontein was dieteelaarde van talle suksesvolle mense vandie sportarena tot die sakewreld, het syges.

Kabous Marra, n Kraaifontein-sakeman,het dit beaam. Daar bestaan n negatiewepersepsie oor Kraaifontein, maar persepsieoorheers gewoonlik die werklikheid. Dit isons verantwoordelikheid om die persepsie

te verander, het hy ges.Cronj-Carstens het die spesiale hoofstuk

genaamd Ons vir jou Suid-Afrika uitgeligas een van haar gunstelinge. Die hoofstuk,geskryf en saamgestel deur Francois Ter-blance, is n huldeblyk aan die manne watin diens van die Suid-Afrikaanse weermag,polisie en vloot gesterf het, s sy.

Tydens sy navorsing het Terblance onder-houde gevoer met die famlies en weduweesvan 31 Kraaifonteinse mans.

Daarbenewens beloof die lekker storieswat in die jare sestigs en sewentigs afge-speel het, ook groot leesvermaak.

In een s n storie van Willy Juul, nou 84,met die opskrif Oom wag vir jou, vertelhy hoe hy sy vrou in 1958 ontmoet het.

Hy was die strooijonker en sy die strooi-meisie vir dieselfde troue en hy moes haarby die stasie gaan oplaai. Sy het my so ewegevra: Wanneer trou Oom dan? Toe s ek:Ek wag vir jou.

In n ander hoofstuk vertel Cecilia Paynedie tragiese verhaal van haar familie. Pay-ne se pa, David, was een van die vele immi-grante van England wat hulself in die 1950sin Kraaifontein kom vestig het.

Hier het hy my ma, n Afrikaanse meisie,ontmoet met wie hy later getroud is. Ek wasnet drie toe hy in n fratsongeluk in die seeverdrink het. In die boek dra sy n gedig aanhaar pa op en skryf ook oor al die liefdes-briewe tussen haar ouers, wat sy vir 40 jaarbewaar het. n Eksemplaar van die boek isook aan die Kraaifontein- en Eikendal-bib-lioteke oorhandig. Dis my hoop dat ons na-geslag in die komende dekades nog die boeksal uitneem om te lees, het sy ges.

Cronj-Carstens het lesers aangemoedigom terugvoering te gee oor die boek.

Daar is nog baie stories wat opgeskryfmoet word en ek is opgewonde om te beginmet die tweede boek. Daar is te veel geskie-denis wat nie verlore mag raak nie.

Baie staan tou vir boek

Berto Engelbrecht van Brackenfell and AnlVisser from Kuils River attended the carolsevent.

Megan Grobler is with the Van Niekerkbrothers, Henning (7) and Christiaan (8). Theyare all from Durbanville.

Talitha Marais fromDurbanville and the

sisters, Landri andTania van der

Westhuizen fromBrackenfell, were at

the event.

Daar is min dinge wat liefde niekan regmaak nie! Dt is diewoorde van Leandra Oosthui-zen, n pleegma van twee kinders.Dit beaam Elna Francke, n maatskapli-

ke werker by Badisa Trio.Ons doel by Badisa Trio is om veilige

hawens vir kinders te skep deur sukses-volle pleegsorgplasings en ander inisiatie-we soos poppekaste.Elna vertel Leandra en haar man, Jo-

han, se verhaal, wat begin nadat Leandran agt jaar van vrugbaarheidsbehande-lingmoes aanvaar dat sy nie haar hartsbe-geerte van moederskap sou beleef nie.Op n dag bel n vriendin en vra of Lean-

dra nie as n plek-van-veiligheid-ouer wildien vir n baba van twee maande nie.Die mamma van die baba was aan

dwelms verslaaf en dit is onbekend waardie pappa hom bevind. Leandra en Johanis met groot angs en opgewondenheid nadie vriendin se huis, waar die baba indaardie stadium was, s Elna.Waar sy gewoonlik baie gemaklik met

babas was, was sy so bang om aan die dog-tertjie te raak dat haar vriendin behoorlikdie baba in haar arms moes sit. En toe isdit verby! Sy het net geweet hierdie dog-tertjie moes sy beskerm.Die baba is by haar en haar man in

pleegsorg geplaas en hulle kon haar ntwee jaar aanneem. Leandra het ook be-sluit om haar werk te bedank sodat sy diebaba kon versorg.Vandag, n agt jaar, is hulle onafskeid-

baar. Die dogtertjie vorder goed op skoolen het in n violis ontpop.Die volgende oproep het in 2013 van die

ACVV gekom om te hoor of die Oosthui-

zens nie as plek-van-veiligheid-ouers wildien vir n 20 maande oue baba nie.Hy is erg verwaarloos en sy mamma is

ook n dwelmverslaafde. Hy was erg on-dervoed en ook mishandel, vertel Elna.Op die hittige dag in Desember toe hul-

le hom gaan haal het, het hy diarree ge-had, geen klere by hom nie en was hy ern-stig siek. Die paar is met die siek babahuis toe.Die kindjie was skaars twee weke daar

toe hy eendag n kroepaanval kry en netdaar het Leandra besef sy is weer n mam-ma, al is hy dalk net vir haar geleen.Hy het ontwaak in n liefdevolle kleu-

ter vol streke, soos enige ander driejari-ge, s Elna.Daar is liefdesbande wat sterker is as

bloedbande. Om n kind in die wreld tebring, maak nie van jou n ma nie dit isdie liefde wat jy gee ter wille van jou kin-ders en ten koste van jouself.Daar bestaan tans n Whatsapp-pleeg-

sorggroep wat begin is gedurende dieKerspartytjie wat in 2014 vir die pleegkin-ders by di organisasie se Kraaifontein-kantoor gehou is.Hulpbronne ter ondersteuning van

pleegouers is baie skaars en daarom is diegroep van soveel waarde.Indien enige pleegouer wil kontak

maak, skakel gerus met Tina Lategan by074 400 8044.Badisa bedryf ook n poppekas teen boe-

lie.Ons poppe leer ons graad R tot 1s hoe

om boelies te hanteer.V Kontak Elna Francke by [email protected] indien jy graag die poppekas by jouskool aangebied wil h.

Whats up | Wats Waar

Due to the Clara Anna Fontein resi-dential development, a horse rid-ing school for special needs chil-dren has to relocate at the end of thismonth.Anneke Gouws has been doing thera-

peutic riding for the past two years forchildren, of which 90% have specialneeds, such as autism, Down syndrome,cerebral palsy, dyspraxia or sensoryprocessing disorders.She ran her school from Clara Anna

Fontein, but due to the new developmenton the farm, sheneeds tomoveher schoolnext year.Altydgedacht has offered me a piece

of land which I am very thankful for.However, I need to do a full set-up on theland, she says.I have six horses to put into that area,

but have zero resources to set it up.Therefore, I am asking for help, be-

cause I believe it takes a community tohelp a community. I desperately want tobelieve that there are people who willhelp and give for the sake of giving to acause, she pleads.At Altydgedacht, Anneke, a trained

counsellor and certified with the Equineassisted growth and learning association(Eagala), plans to become involved withThe Valley Primary School with a pro-gramme for children with Fetal alcoholsyndrome (FAS).Not being a non-profitable organisa-

tion, people and businesses find it hardto give as I can offer very little in returnthat would benefit them.

What I can offer companies is the op-portunity to display an advertisingboard around the parking area (once thatis set up) and I will also display your in-volvement on our Facebook page, shesays.People can help by sponsoring a child.To enrol a child is R1 950 per term.We

help children that are struggling to af-ford it, but with help we can help morechildren, Anneke says.There are other ways to be involved on

a more permanent basis. People cansponsor a therapy pony at R2 500 permonth and help keep these horses in agood condition.You will receive a certificate with de-

tails of your horse and a quarterly feed-back letter to let you know how he or sheis doing, she says.Her immediate needs are material

such as 2,1m to 2,5m poles, materials toput up shelters in the camp, aNutecWen-dy house for feed storage, farm gates aswell as expertise to set it up.She also needs a Nutec Wendy enter-

tainment hut to accommodate childrenin wintermonths and to use as office andtack room, as well as sand for the arenaand material to put up two horse stables.V Contact Anneke Gouws on 083 635 4277 orsend an email to [email protected].

Ons het van vroegdag jaffels, jogurt enappels uitgedeel, waarna die kinders konswem en speel. Vrywilligers het gehelp metgesigverf en die springkasteel was baie be-sig. Die absolute hoogtepunt was egter toeelkeen n wazooka (watergeweer) ontvanghet. Almal het deurgeloop!

In die namiddag het Kersvader op n su-

Toe is die geskenke uitgedeel!Solidariteit Helpende Hand in die Wes-

Kaap wil elke borg uit ons harte bedank.Die kinders het die mooiste speelgoed, toi-letware en skryfbehoeftes ontvang. Onskinders het nie gevra vir hul omstandighe-de nie, daarom skenk ons graag skryfbe-hoeftes aan minderbevoorregte kinders.Ons ondersteun graag kinders wat hul

kant bring, s Ford.Ford het ook vir Sandra Muller, projek-

leier, Malan en haar span gelukgewens metn suksesvolle projek.

As Cape Town tightens up onwater restrictions, it is time tolook at desalination as along-term measure to improveour water supply.One opportunity going

begging is the Koeberg powerstation. Nuclear reactorsactually produce a lot morewaste heat than electricity andthe scandal is that we dontuse the free heat to desali-nate sea water and make animportant contribution to thiswater scarce country.It is standard practice to run

desalination plants run intandem with power stations inthe Middle East to producemost of the water for thedesert countries and even towater golf courses. Why dontwe do it here?The answer is probably that

Eskom and the City Councilnever spoke to each otherwhen Koeberg was planned.The other desalination option

is reverse osmosis, anotherwidely used technology. If theglobal warming prophets ofdoom are even half right wewill need both of these technol-ogies in the future, so thesooner we start and get togrips with the technology, themore we will learn and thebetter decisions we will makewhen it is time to upscale thedesalination plants.

Why dont wedesalinate?

Die feesseisoen is n tyd vandie jaar wat ons as verkeersbe-amptes ons hande vol het metdie groot hoeveelheid voertuieop ons paaie. Dit is ook n tydvan die jaar waar daar ntoename in die gebruik vanopenbare vervoer is. Dit is dusbelangrik dat doeltreffendeverkeerswetstoepassing en

Belangrik datvervoer veilig is

polisiring toegepas word om teverseker dat voertuie viropenbare vervoer padwaardigis, en dat bestuurders diegeskiktheidsvereistes wat deurdie wet bepaal word, nakom.Dis uiters belangrik dat alle

openbare padgebruikers veiligvervoer word. Ek wil amper sdat dit di tyd van die jaar iswanneer mense as gevolg vanhaas en opgewondenheidvergeet hoe om te bestuur.n Sterk wetstoepassingteen-

woordigheid word benodig omte verseker dat padgebruikersdie wet nakom. Dit is inderdaadwaar dat verkeerswetstoepas-sing, net soos enige anderberoep, verskeie uitdagings het.Jy moet soms die slegte

uitdagings oorheers met positie-we resultate. Nietemin wasverkeerswetstoepassing nooitnt n werksgeleentheid ofloopbaankeuse nie; dit was vandie begin af n passie. Hoewelons baie weerstand van ledevan die publiek kry, is ditsteeds ons plig om die publiekse belange tot die beste van onsvermo beskerm, en die belang-rikste is om ons paaie teenelemente van gevaar te beveiligen sodoende padsterftes tot dieminimum te beperk.

some dogs, and dogs with short snouts orlong hair are among the more pronebreeds. The obvious tip when it comes toheat is to not leave animals in the car,yet still, many do. According to theSPCA, temperatures inside a car canreach up to 47 degrees in an hour, evenwhen its just 22 degrees outside.Many people are unaware of the effect

of hot surfaces on little paws. Surfaceslike tar, metal and even sand absorb heatand can stay warm for hours after thesun has gone down, which could poten-tially burn the pads on the underside of apets paws.A good test is to hold the back of your

hand against the surface for about 10seconds. If its too hot for you, it will betoo hot for an animal.Pets, particularly lighter ones, are

susceptible to sunburn, just like humans.While making sure they have a coolshady place to escape the sun remainsthe best option, many vets stock petsunscreens.And because all good boys deserve a

treat, why not fill a two litre ice creamtub with water and treats, freeze it, andwatch your pet enjoy hours of fun andcooling while they lick through the ice.

First down and out,now giving backHow do you live every day from A toZ? Well, a Bostoner from the Letz (Liv-ing Everyday To Z) organisation triesto do this by motivating others.

Thabo Dube is only 20 years old. In hisshort life he has gone from living on thestreets to substance abuse and losing a legin an accident, to turning his life aroundand becoming a motivational speaker, a so-cio-inadequate activist, Western Provinceathlete, ParaSA volleyball academy sports-man, young entrepreneur and founder andCEO of a clothing brand.

Letz was established as a model of show-ing and supporting kids who are in the samesituation that I was in once. It is an idea ofgiving back to the community especially byempowering less fortunate kids, says Tha-bo, who through his clothing brand is alsomaking a marked difference with the helpof some NGOs the entrepreneur donatesone product for every five products sold andcalls it the 5-1 Letz Support.

The young creatives unique 5-1 systemensures that the one free product goes to or-ganisations that are empowering less privi-leged children.

Our vision as we end 2015 is to giveChristmas presents to 10 or so kids on the

12th of December through an organisationcalled Masimanyane Health Community, asit is a giving season, Thabo says. The orga-nisation works very closely with a Khayelit-sha community in dire need of upliftment.

Working alongside Masimanyane, Letzhas managed to help remove kids from thedrug infested streets to spending most oftheir time on the field doing extracurricu-lar activities by sponsoring some soccerballs, refreshments on sports tournamentsand handing out our clothing products asprizes to winning teams, Thabo says.

The coach of Masimanyanes soccerteam sat down with me on 20 November ask-ing for support in terms of groceries,clothes, sports attire and so forth to presentto the kids. He expressed the food issue ashe noted during the year that kids hardlyfind anything to put in their mouths on aday to day basis as most of the parents arenot employed or are on medication.

Donations will go to the boys of the Masi-manyane Young Rollers Football Club andthe Masimanyane organisation.V Contact Thabo at [email protected] oron 072 816 4984, or Masimanyane on [email protected] for more information or to helpwith their projects, or visit www.letzshop.co.za.

ESM ERASMUS@erasmusesme

Close to 100 learners, most of whom arepreviously unemployed and un-skilled, last Wednesday proudly re-ceived their certificates after successfullycompleting courses at theFisantekraalCen-tre for Development (FCD).

These certificates are not only proof ofthe skills they gained, but serve as a land-mark of a time and place where their selfbelief, hope and dignity were restored andwhere they were equipped to live a mean-ingful life, says Jane Gelderman, directorof FCD.

Being witness to this journey month aft-er month, as new groups of unemployedpeople join the FCD family, is a privilegeand calling that I treasure daily.

But it is also a very alarming reflectionof the growing unemployment rate in ourcountry. Although the national unemploy-ment rate is around 25%, the youth unem-ployment rate is at 36% and unemploymentin vulnerable communities such as Fisan-tekraal is far above 40%, with a growingnumber of young adults who have neverworked, she says.

This is coupled with poor education andskill levels and according to Statistics SA(2014), by the end of every Grade 12 class ourcountry has lost half of the generation ofkids that entered the schooling system inGrade 1.

This is also true in Fisantekraal, wheremore than 80%of adults donothave aGrade12 or higher qualification, according to Sta-tistics SA 2011.

Looking at these statistics, it can leaveone feeling overwhelmed with the complex-ity of the unemployment problem. Howeverat Fisantekraal Centre for Development weare encouraged and energised by the liveswe are able to change one class at a time,she says proudly.

Whether our learners complete a jobreadiness, office basics, bake for profit orfrail care course at our centre, we are ableto invest in them socially, emotionally, eco-nomically and spiritually and this holisticapproach leaves them more equipped andskilled for the job market and life in gener-al.

An important part of what they do, is tolink their past learners up with employ-ment opportunities through placementpartner relationships with local businesses

or potential employers.This process has helped us grow our

placement rate for learners from 44% to60% over the last 12 months and increasedsupport and partnership from local busi-nesses and the community at large will as-sist us to place even more learners goingforward, she says.

Every successful learner of the past sixmonths received a certificate at this bian-nual certificate ceremony at the Durban-ville-Bergsig Dutch Reformed Church tocelebrate their achievements.

Of the four students who have completedthe frail care course, two are now perma-nently employed by Albrecht Nursing Ser-vices (ANS), which is contracted by theGreen Pastures rest home for the elderly inDurbanville, where they have also complet-ed their practical work.

The other two completed their practicalwork elsewhere and were invited for anevaluation at Green Pastures.

ANS supplies nursing services and staffto three retirement homes, namely Edel-weis, Huis Andr van der Walt and GreenPastures.

The students gained so much self-confi-dence that they also displayed their enter-tainment talents to the audience.

Kaylin Afrikaner from Fisantekraal, whosuccessfully completed the office basicscourse, opened the ceremony with a song ofpraise.

Charlton Isacks, also from Fisantekraal,led the audience in a closing song.

Charlton, who completed the office basicscourse in April 2015, shared how frustratedhe was about not finding his dream officejob.

Eventuallyheacceptedaone-monthcon-tract from TFG to work on an @Home storerenovationproject aposition thathe loves.

His positive attitude while doing this ledto him receiving a permanent position attheir Canal Walk store as a stock room con-troller, something that offers him furtheropportunities for career growth, Gelder-man says.

Charlton is also involved in youth minis-try in his community.

He thanked the people of FCD for themeaningful contribution being made in hiscommunity in helping to get young peopleoff the streets.V Phone 021 975 7764 or visit www.fisantekraal.org.za to find out how you can play a positiverole in addressing unemployment.

Met meer as 10 000 YouTube-kyke virhaar tweede enkelsnit se musiekvi-deo, beloof die Durbanville-sangerSuzanne se nuwe album om propvol trefferste wees.

Suzanne, wat gehorevanaf die ouderdom van10 al betower, het on-langs haar sesde album,Vuurbestand, bekendge-stel.

Die album is deur Tom-my Tucker Studios opge-neem, terwyl Die Heu-wels Fantasties se Fredden Hartog die vervaar-diging behartig het.

Suzanne s hy verdienalle eer vir die klank vandie produksie. Hy hetvanaf die beginfase n vi-sie gehad wat baie goedingepas het by my per-soonlike smaak en styl.Vuurbestand bevat

baie elemente van die80s en 90s wat Suzannes baie goed op die oorval, maar dit het tog nvars en unieke klank.

Hoewel Fred sy eie stempel op die albumafgedruk het, het hy ook gesorg dat die stylsteeds baie goed by elke liedjie pas.

Ek hoop om in die toekoms weer saam methom te kan werk.

Nog n persoon saam met wie Suzanne opVuurbestand gewerk het, is haar man, Jaco-bus Uys. Di paartjie het baie van die liedjies

op die tiensnit-album saam geskryf.Toe ons begin uitgaan het, het hy vir my

kom kuier met sy kitaar en dan het ons virure saam musiek gemaak, vertel sy. Hullehet dus van die begin van hul verhouding aln kreatiewe band en Suzanne s hulle vulmekaar baie goed aan. Ek sal nie hierdie on-

dervinding alleen of saammet enige ander persoonas Jacobus wil deel nie.

Suzanne het die tweedemusiekvideo vir die al-bum se liedjie Belofte inNovember op YouTubevrygestel en in minder asn maand is daar al meeras 10 000 keer na gekyk.

Die eerste video virVuurbestand is al meeras 14 000 keer na gekyk enSuzanne beplan om haarderde video in die volgen-de paar maande te skiet.

Sy beplan ook om die al-bum oor die land heen teneem met nasionale op-tredes en sal vroeg vol-gende jaar tot in Namibite sien wees.

Intussen sal aanhan-gers Suzanne op die TVkan sien wanneer sy opKersdag op SABC 2 seMu-

siek Roulette verskyn. Vroeg volgende jaar isdaar ook n kuier by Jukebox en Jam in dievooruitsig.V Vuurbestand is op iTunes of by musiekwinkels tekoop. Vir meer oor Suzanne en haar musiek, besoekwww.suzan
