kopseer

MARYKE SWART

Inwoners van Drakenstein kla

al jare lank oor onwettige pad-

resies wat veral oor naweke

di gebied soos die Killarney-

renbaan laat klink.

Ten spyte van wetstoepassing

endieplaaslikepolisie se pogings

om die onwettige bedrywighede

oor naweke te stuit, blyk dit n

kopseer te wees waarvoor daar

nie vinnig n oplossing gevind

gaan word nie.

N nog klagtes ontvang is, het

Paarl Post besluit om op Face-

book sy lesers te vra wat hulle

dink.

Hier is npaarvanhulmenings:

Anees Carolissen meen sterf-

gevalle in die Paarl is 90% weens

dronk jong mense wat n show

wil opsit.

Sy skryf verder dat dit nie pad-

resies is wat gevaarlik is nie,

maar dronk en onverskillige

mense wat probeer drag race en

ongelukke maak.

Duncan Francke s, Hou op

drag racing blameer vir ongeluk-

ke in die Paarl. Hoeveel ongeluk-

ke gebeur daar in die Hoofstraat.

Drag race hulle dan in die hoof-

straat ook?

Melisha Moerat meen mense

moet ophou dronk mense die

skuld gee vir padresies: Die

mense is nie dronk nie ... as jy

daar is of al was, kan enige een

s dis mans met vinnige karre

wat dit wil afshow ... hoekom kan

daar nie iets uitgewerk word vir

hierdie groep karreliefhebbers

nie?

Jessica Janke s die mense

moet in Killarney gaan ry. Hoe-

komop n stuk padwaar daar hui-

se en andermense is. Dalk as par-

ty van julle inmyhuis bly, sal jul-

le verstaan hoe erg dit is. Moet

elke Maandagoggend 2 uur wak-

ker l en luister hoe hulle jaag.

Munisipale bestuurder van

Drakenstein, Johann Mettler,

meen die probleem is nie net be-

perk tot Drakenstein nie, maar is

iets wat regoor die land en selfs

wreldwyd kop uitgesteek het.

Hy sdie aardvandieprobleem

maak dit ook moeiliker om n op-

lossing te vind om dit aan te

spreek of te bekamp.

Versnelwedrenne (padresies)

word nie gepatrolleer as n spoed-

oortredingnie,maaras roekelose

en nalatige bestuur. Dit word dus

hanteer as n kriminele oortre-

ding enwanneer n persoon daar-

voor in hegtenis geneem word,

word kriminele klagtes gel.

Hyswanneer nprobleemarea

goed gepatrolleer word, hierdie

bedrywighede eenvoudig na n

ander gebied skuif. Wanneer

daar toegeslaan word op n groep

verdagte renjaers, word daar dik-

wels boetes uitgereik vir onpad-

waardige voertuie en in enkele

gevalle, dronkbestuur. Wanneer

die skuldiges wel vasgetrek

word,vindonsdikwelsdatdiehof

hulle weer vrylaat omdat dit baie

moeilik is om voldoende bewyse

bymekaar te maak wat sal lei tot

n skuldigbevinding.

Mettler s die verkeersafdeling

is tans besig om te kyk na die

moontlikheid van n 24-uur ver-

keersdiens en of dit die probleem

meer doeltreffend sal aanspreek.

* Illegal drag racing on the

streets of Paarl and surrounding

areas is still a problem for both

residents and law enforcers.

Onwettige padresies

vind nog dikwels plaas

op plaaslike paaie in

die middernagtelike ure.

n Leerder van die Hor Meisieskool

Paarl en n tuinier het n vermeende dief

in haar spore gestuit n sy op heterdaad

by die motor van n inwoner in Derde

Laan, Paarl, betrap is.

Lize Zlch vertel sy was kort voor 15:00 op

pad na haar motor wat in die oprit van haar

huis agter n toe hek geparkeer was, toe sy

n vrou by haar motor sien krap.

Ek het my vrek geskrik en gegil.

Dit is dieselfde bloedstollende gil wat die

graad 11-leerder van HMS, Berl Edwards,

gehoor en laat ondersoek instel het.

Berl s toe sydeurhul veiligheidshekkyk

en die vrou in Zlch se oprit oorkant die pad

sienstaan,het syuitgehardloop.BennieFou-

rie, haar buurvrou se tuinier, het dieselfde

gil gehoor en oor die muur geloer. Toe hy

die vrou sien, het hy ook besluit om te gaan

hand bysit en haar in Zlch se oprit voorge-

keer.

Hulle kon daarin slaag om haar n entjie

verder vas te trek.

Sy en Fourie wou die vrou daar hou totdat

diepolisiekom,maar nverbygangerhetvol-

gaan omdat daar niks van sou kom nie.

Hulle het haar skaars laat gaan toe n se-

kerheidsvoertuig van Thornburn daar ver-

bykom.Bennie shullehetdie sekerheidsbe-

amptes ingelig oor die voorval en hulle het

haar enkele meters verder vasgetrek.

Die polisie is toe ontbied, wat toe die vrou

wegvat het.

Zlch het haar beursie onder haar motor

gekry en dit blyk nie of iets gesteel is nie.

Dieselfde vrou is Sondag na bewering in

buite gestaan en gesels. Hy is na sy woonstel

Sy is weer uit omwasgoed te gaan ophang.

Toe sy weer in die huis kom, het sy die vrou

in haar gang gekry.

Sy het vir Nel ges dat sy kos soek.

Nel het vir haar ges sy moet loop. Toe sy

PaarlCluster is one of the five clusterswith

the highest number of business burglaries

in the Western Cape.

This was disclosed when the 2013/2014

crime statistics were released last week.

Paarl police station was among the top

five police stations in the same category,

showing a significant increase in business

burglarieswith62morecasesreportedthan

the previous book year.

Residential burglaries, however showed

a decrease in numbers, with 134 less cases

reported.

The 2013/2014 crime statistics were re-

leased on Friday by national Police Com-

missioner, Genl Riah Phiyega and Police

Minister Nkosonathi Nhleko.

In the Western Cape, contact crimes in

total increased by 5% from the previous

book year.

Murders were up by 12,8%, attempted

murders by 2,5%, and aggravated robbery

by 16,7% which includes sub-categories of

robberiesat residentialpremises (14%)and

non-residential premises (11,5%).

In the Boland region, Paarl police station

showed little increase inmurderswithonly

two more cases reported.

Sexual offences were down by 16 cases,

while common assault went up by 43 cases

and common robbery by 34 cases.

Aggravated robbery was down by 20 cas-

es, although robberies at residential prem-

ises and non-residential premises showed

a slight increase.

Morecasesofmotorvehicleandmotorcy-

cle theft and theft out of or frommotor vehi-

cles were reported than in the previous pe-

riod.

Paarl Easts efforts to decrease contact

crimes within the area paid off, paid off

with all but common assault showing a de-

cline. Business burglary increased by only

two cases while residential burglaries re-

mained consistent.

Groot Drakenstein showed a slight in-

crease in murders, attempted murders,

common assault, common robbery and ag-

gravated robbery as well as theft from and

out of motor vehicle. Business burglaries

and residential burglaries showed declin-

ing numbers.

Franschhoek police station had twice as

many murders reported than in 2012/2013

andfivemorecaseof sexualcrimes,butoth-

erwise showed a decrease in contact

crimes. Property related crimes relating to

residential burglaries andbusiness burgla-

ries increased.

Klapmuts had three less murders while

sexual offences remained consistent. As-

saultwiththeintenttoinflictgrievousbodi-

ly harm and aggravated robbery including

the sub-categories of residential and busi-

ness robberies increased.

Residential and business burglaries both

showed a sharp incline.

In Mbekweni, attempted murder, aggra-

vated robbery and business robbery were

the only crimes which showed an increase

of more than five additional cases than re-

ported in the previous period.

The number of murders reported at Wel-

lington police station in 2013/2014 re-

mained consistent with what was reported

in2012/2013while sexual crimes showedan

increase of an additional 17 cases reported.

Other contact crimes showing an in-

crease are attempted murder, common as-

sault and common robbery.

Misdaadsyfersbly nkwelpunt inSA

Die misdaadsyfers van die afgelope boekjaar wat onlangs aangekondig

is, laat n mens wonder hoe akkuraat hulle werklik is.

Dit voel tans asof daar n wolk van misdaad oor die vallei hang.

Daar kanwel gesword dat daar in die gebied n daling in ernstigemis-

daad soos moord en geweldaanrandings is, asook n groot verligting oor

die afname in seksuele misdaad. Maar byna daagliks word jan alleman

die slagoffer van die een of ander soort diefstal. Huise en motors is beslis

niemeerveilignie,metmotordiefstalendiefstalvanuit nmotorwatgroot-

liks n styging toon. Inbrake by ondernemings in die Paarl het ook die

afgelope vyf jaar skerp toegeneem.

Maar hoewel die statistieke sukses- n kommerpunte uitgewys het, be-

vraagtekenkennerssteedsdiegeldigheiddaarvan,enmeenditspreekslegs

van sake wat aangemeld is.

Hoe dit ook al sy, een ding is seker: Suid-Afrika het nog n ver pad om

te stap in die aanspreek van misdaad. Die afname in ernstiger misdade

ismiskien n teken dat daar daadwerklike pogings aangewendword. Soos

polisie-amptenare al verskeie kere genoem het, bly dit egter elke burger

se verantwoordelikheid om verdagtes en misdaad aan te meld.

beloved Paarl Mountain at Christ-

land.

The Braai Tour is an initiative

of Jan Braai. The aim of this tour

was to get the nation geared up for

National Braai Day, which took

place yesterday on Heritage Day,

24 September.

And yes, there is no better way

of celebrating our

heritage than sitting

arounda fire, getting

ready to braai some-

thing over the coals.

Jan started Braai

Day 10 years ago in

order to unite South

Africans around a

braai fire, celebrate

our heritage and restore pride in

ournational flag. Since thenSouth

Africansacrosstheworldhaveem-

braced this initiative.

For eight days on tourwepassed

through beautiful towns, each

night setting up camp in a spectac-

ular SANPark, and, of course,

braaiing at every opportunity.

There were 130 people from all

walks of life on the tour. We were

divided into teams of four, each

team travelling in their own vehi-

cle,camping,cookingandcelebrat-

ing together for the duration. I had

no idea who my teammates were

until my arrival in Johannesburg.

Things could seriously have gone

wrong if our personalities had

clashed. But tomy relief, the three

young men who I was teamed up

withwerea treat.Andaftergetting

to know each other better, it was

evident thatweall came fromcom-

pletely different backgrounds. But

the adventure, thenumerousdaily

braais, and a mutual love of our

country brought us together with

no problem whatsoever.

Across the 2 200 kmthatwe trav-

elled,thereweremanywhowanted

to join us around the braai, but un-

fortunately the powers-that-be

have not embraced Jan Braais

braai day initiative. They reckon

that he has boycotted Heritage

Day. Sorry, but what bull!

Now, for the first time, Heritage

Day is actually being celebrated as

it should be, with South Africans

being strongly reminded of their

unique heritage. It is perhaps one

of the only public holidays which

nowhas true significance - not just

another day off with no meaning,

except to sleep in late.

Just takea lookatothernational

daysacross theglobe, suchas Inde-

pendence Day on the 4th of July in

America.DuringthisdayallAmer-

icans fly their flags high and with

greatpridecelebratetheirownher-

itage.

So why can we not do what we

love doing best on Heritage Day

and braai.

And here I sit in

solitude on Paarl

Mountain.Afterend-

ing my Braai Tour

barely twelve hours

ago, wanting to cele-

brate a bit of Paarls

heritage.

ThefirstEuropean

settlers named Paarl Mountain

PearlMountain because of the gi-

antgraniterocksthatglimmerlike

pearls when wet. But the original

inhabitants, the Khoi, called it tor-

toise mountain because, from cer-

tain angles, the rocks resemble a

tortoise.

Christmas Camp was so named

almost a century ago when the

GrundlinghandPeroldfamiliesas-

cended the mountain for their

Christmas holiday with horse

carts ladenwith camping gear and

produce. It is a natural campsite

with the very old wild olive trees

protecting visitors from the ele-

ments. On a large granite rock the

Christmas Camp symbol is pre-

served, followed by the names of

the children thatmade their arriv-

al each year.

This too is part of Paarls rich

heritage.

And asmy fire slowly turns into

coals, I think of all the wonderful

parts of the country that I have

travelled through and all the col-

ourful people that I have met and

whoIamproudtocallcompatriots.

May National Braai Day in con-

junction with Heritage Day grow

from strength to strength, making

us all proudly South African.

Alsniepluismethierdie selfoontoring inNoorder-Paarl nie

Ek het heel per abuis enmet groot

ontsteltenis die kennisgewing op

die hoek vanRetief- enReitzstraat

raakgesien (ten spyte van die feit

dat dit so klein en onopsigtelik is

dat 99% van Noorder-Paarl waar-

skynlik dit nie raakgesienhet nie)

dat iemand beoog om n selfoonto-

ring in die wingerd so na aan ons

wonings op te rig.

Wat my meer ontstel het, is die

feit dat hulle beoog om selfs nie

eers in die koerant kennis te gee

van die toring nie.

Soek n mens cellphone tower

daar talle waarskuwings op oor

die risikos van onder meer kan-

ker vir diegene wat naby so n to-

ring woon.

Ek sal graag wil verneem of eni-

ge navorsing deur diegenewat die

toring wil oprig gedoen is, en sal

graag so n verslag wil besigtig.

Verder dink ek dit is slegs regver-

dig dat waar so n projek wat die

moontlikheid inhouomso ngroot

hulle ten minste die geleentheid

gegun word om daarvan kennis te

dra (en ingelig word van moontli-

nie.

Op die powere klein kennisge-

Beon the lookout for these conartists fromMalaysia

As a local businessman I would

like to warn the public of a crook-

ed couple who are stealing from

unsuspecting business people.

I toowasvictim to their shenan-

igans recently.

The couple entered my shop in

KleinDrakenstein, claiming to be

visitors from Malaysia. They

made a small purchase during

which money changed hands and

started to chat with my shop as-

sistant, tellinghimhowtheywere

enjoying their stay in Paarl.

Theywere very friendly andwe

really thought theywere tourists.

They then asked whether we

did not have a R200 note for them,

the one with Nelson Mandelas

image on, as they want it as a

keepsake and they will in turn

hand us two R100 notes in ex-

change for it.

I took out my wallet, which had

a substantial amount of money in

it, to see whether I did have any

R200 notes. I did not and told my

shop assistant to look in the till.

I put mywallet back inmy pocket

and the visitors were still chat-

ting to me.

When they eventually left my

shop, I felt formywalletand itwas

gone, together with a few thou-

sand rands.

I ran out of the shop and there

wasno signof the two. I evenwent

looking for them in my car. But

they had just vanished.

The two were well-dressed and

well-spoken and the woman had

a tattoo onher handwhich looked

very much like some kind of

cross.

I want to warn others of this so

that they do not become a victim

like me. These two are very

smooth and the fact that my wal-

let disappearedwas likemagicbe-

cause I did not feel a thing.

Please be warned.

Praatjieoorerfenisbymuseum

JOHAN NEL

Dr. AndrewKok, ken-

ner op die gebied van

die genealogie, het

verlede week n boei-

ende praatjie by die

Wellington-museum

gelewer oor Welling-

ton se bekende Huge-

note-families en hul

onderlinge familie-

verwantskappe. Die

praatjie was deel van

die museum se Erfe-

nisdagvieringe.

Volgens dr. Kok bied

Wellington en omge-

wing interessante na-

vorsingsmateriaal oor

hierdie onderwerp, omdat tientalle

plase in die omgewing nog steeds in

die besit van die Hugenote-families

is wat dit in 1799 ontvang het, nadat

hulle om geloofsredes destyds uit

Frankryk na Suid-Afrika gevlug het.

Hy het as voorbeeld genoem dat

Dan Retief van die plaas Welvanpas

langsGroenberg (wat die byeenkoms

bygewoon het) die jongste vertak-

king is van n bekende Hugenote-fa-

milie, wat vandag nog steeds op die

plaas van sy voorgeslagte

boer.

Ander bekende Hugeno-

te-families wie se nakome-

linge ook die praatjie byge-

woon het, is die Le Rouxs

en die Malans.

Dr. Kok het verskeie boe-

ke oor Hugenote-families

geskryf. Die bekendste

hiervanissyboekRheboks-

kloof semense; oor die fami-

lie Cilli wat diep spore op

landbougebied in Suid-

Afrika getrap het.

Tydens die byeenkoms is

ook bekendgemaak dat die

ginhetomnbiografiesere-

gister op te stel waarin in-

ligting oor Wellingtonners

en oud-Wellingtonners versamel

gaan word.

derhede oor hoe om inligting vir die

register te verskaf byOlivia Cordeur

vandiemuseumkry, bel 021 873 4710.

Dr. Andrew Kok (naasregs) n bekende genealoog, het ver-

lede Saterdag belangstellendes op Wellington toegespreek

oor die nasate van Wellington se Hugenote-families. Saam

met hom is Gerhard Roux, Anne-Marie Marais, Lisette Ma-

centre.

The old British

at auction in 2011.

Since then plans

have been drawn up

and the building al-

tre situated in busy Lady Grey Street. This

majestic property is on thebanks of theBerg

Paarl Post first reported on this exciting

development in December 2012 when the

plans were initially announced.

Old Rembrandt will create a contempo-

rary, vibrant one-stop retail experience, an-

choredbyPicknPay.Altogether 42 shopsare

planned and focus will be onmeeting the ap-

parel and fashion needs of the community

with stores that include Pep, Rebel Fashion,

Trends and Shoerama. The centre will also

haveafoodcourt tosatisfy localappetitesand

offer a relaxed seating area.

The centre will be supported by Nedbank,

StandardBankandFirstNationalBankwith

cellphone repair shops, hairdresser, elec-

tronics, home display and much more. The

gas supplier, The

Gas Boys will also

have an outlet.

Further to the re-

tail component, the

shopping centre will

also offer a recrea-

tional areaandanar-

ea for food-related

manufacturers such

exhibitions.

Joubert said that by using local contractor

Isipani, the development will boost local em-

ployment:This investmentgoesbeyondpro-

viding a quality shopping centre and excel-

lentretailoutlets for thecommunity. It isalso

an investment in the community since it will

be a catalyst for further development in the

agenda of the day recently at Boland College, Paarl campus. The students pulled out

all the stops by stopping at every corner and street in the Paarl area to collect refuse

and place it in black bags. Keeping a carbon free environment is an ideal that seemed

to echo in the Paarl region as much support was given to ensure the success of the

day and particularly to communicate of the recycle and re-use message. The Draken-

stein Municipality assisted with 12 recycling bins, 18 brooms, 300 pairs of gloves and

300 black plastic bags. Later Boland College students met at the Drakenstein campus

and divided the refuse they had collected into three categories, namely plastic items,

glass items and paper items, all ready to be recycled.

om 20:00 by die Ou Meul-teater te sien is. Die produksie is geskep

in opdrag van die Woordfees, ter viering van Aucamp se 80ste ver-

jaardag, maar kort daarna is hy egter oorlede en is die produksie

daarom nie net n viering van sy literre bydrae nie, maar ook n

herdenking van sy nalatenskap. In die produksie word daar dankie

ges dat hy vir die grootste gedeelte van sy lewe onverpoos so mil-

delik van homself gegee het. Vir n voyeur de la vie is die ganse le-

we onwettige teater. Hy sou dit nie anders wou h nie. Want dan

sou hy toegang moet betaal. Die akteurs is Paarliete Johann Nel

(links) en Andr Terblanche (regs). Kaartjies is R90 by 083 564 0056.
