TWO well-known local teachers died in a head-on collision between their cars in Paarl on Sunday evening, casting a cloud of mourning over the community. Queenie Lintnaar (49) of 64 Aurora Street, Newton, was returning home from a church choir practice when she stopped for bread and a bag of apples. She was alone in her car, driving east in Oosbosch Street at 19:30, when tragedy struck as the cars collided. |

west over the railway bridge could not negotiate the slight bend opposite the gates to Dal Josaphat Panelbeaters. The driver of the car, Mzuvukile Sishuba (49) of V Block 2719 in Mbekweni, died while his two passengers survived the horror crash. Vivian Kampies (20) of 81 K Block, Mbekweni and Tersa Hanabea (19) of Khayelitsha, were treated for multiple injuries at the Paarl Hospital. Lintnaar had been a teacher at Charleston Hill Primary since the school's opening 15 years ago. "She was much loved and will be sorely missed," colleague Vincent Parrott said this week. "She had such a wonderful sense of humour." Grieving pupils were dismissed early on Monday, in honour of their deceased teacher. Apart from her Grade 2 class, Lintnaar was in charge of cultural activities, music and the school tuckshop. A widow for eight years, Lintnaar leaves three daughters, Heidi (26), Raylene (21) and Elista (14), a pupil at New Orleans Secondary School. A prayer service will be held at the Lintnaar home in Aurora Street, Newton at 19:00 tonight. The funeral service where her choir students will participate, is at 14:00 on Sunday in the Ceres VGK. It follows a service at 13:00 at her mother's home in 42 Albert Crescent, Ceres. Sishuba comes from a family of teachers. His wife teaches at Langabuya, and his brother-in-law, Timothy Ndzuzo, is circuit manager of education. His sister, Boniswa, is a Drakenstein town councillor. Sishuba had been teaching Afrikaans and History at the Khayamandi High School at Stellenbosch since 1991. The staff at the school this week recalled his "smile and his jokes". He played a leading role in sport, especially the training of soccer and rugby players. Members of the governing body and teachers of Kayamandi High visited the Sishuba home to pay their respects last night. He leaves his wife Thobeka, and their three children Nwabisa (25), Bongani (19) and Siphelele (7). The funeral service is being arranged for next week |

'n INSLEEPVOERTUIG het verlede week op die N1 naby Klapmuts vasgejaag in 'n ambulans met 'n ernstig beseerde pasiënt uit De Doorns daarin. Vier paramedici, die bestuurder van die insleepvoertuig, sy swanger vrou en hul kind, is beseer. Hulle is met ander noodreddingsvoertuie en per helikopter na hospitale vervoer. Die ongeluk het Woensdagmiddag gebeur terwyl die ambulans teen spoed met die pasiënt op pad was na 'n hospitaal in Kaapstad sodat sy aan 'n ventilator gekoppel kon word. 'n Agterwiel van die insleepvoertuig, op pad na Mafikeng met 'n onklaar motor, het vermoedelik uitgeval voordat dit deur die bosse in die middel van die snelweg gebars het. Die ambulans kon die kop-aan-kop botsing nie vermy nie, het 'n Metro woordvoerder gesê, en het gerol. Dit het twee uur geduur om die bestuurder van die Kaapse ambulans, Simphiwe Tasana, met meganiese kake uit die wrak te bevry. Terwyl die opruimingswerk aan die gang was, het 'n aankomende bakkie met treiler uit Kaapstad te vinnig gerem toe hy op die toneel afkom, en het die treiler begin swaai. Die treiler het losgeruk en die bakkie het ook gerol. Die N1 rigting Kaapstad was langer as drie uur gesluit, met verkeer wat tussen Klapmuts en Kraaifontein met 'n ompad gelei is. Die Klapmuts polisie ondersoek 'n saak van diefstal nadat 'n vuurwapen, wat aan die bestuurder van die insleepvoertuig behoort, van die ongelukstoneel verdwyn het. * An ambulance carrying a passenger was involved in a crash on the N1 at Klapmuts. |

DIE seun van die vermoorde haarkapper Lorna Januarie van Paarl-Oos is Vrydag vrygespreek van aandadigheid aan haar moord. Darrian Januarie (19) is ná die moord in April verlede jaar in hegtenis geneem en later borgtog van R2000 toegestaan. Vrydag het landdros Patrick Ross hom vrygespreek. Die getuienis kon nie die hof van sy skuld oortuig nie, het Ross bevind. Lorna Januarie is in die haarsalon, wat ook as die gesin se woning gedien het, doodgeskiet. Sy vader, Colin, is die oggend in die been gewond. Darrian het in Junie in die landdroshof verskyn op 'n aanklag dat hy sy pa se vuurwapen gesteel het. Die volgende maand is die aanklag van betrokkenheid by die moord by die staat se saak gevoeg. Die borgaansoek, wat deur Darrian se vader en sy oorlede moeder se susters gebring is, is deur landdros Marietjie de Villiers toegestaan. Sy het in haar beslissing in ag geneem dat die persoon wat die sneller getrek het, en ook die vuurwapen waarmee die moord gepleeg is, nog nie opgespoor is nie. 'n Merkbaar verligte Darrian het Vrydag saam met sy tevrede tantes die hofsaal verlaat. "Ons wil almal bedank wat saam met sy tantes van die begin af geglo het in Darrian se onskuld," het hulle gesê. * The son (19) of a murdered hairdresser has been acquitted of charges relating to her death. |

'n MAN wat homself as weldoener in die Paarl gemeenskap sien, sal vannag weer in 'n tronksel moet slaap voordat hy môre hoor of sy borgaansoek toegestaan word. Die man, wat jare lank al die fasiliteite van die Departement Welsyn in die Paarl gebruik terwyl hy nie in diens van die kantoor is nie, is verlede week geboei uit die gebou gelei. Hy word aangekla van verkragting van 'n jong meisie. Die man, wat vroeër jare as spysenier by Allandale Gevangenis diens gedoen het, word die afgelope week in dié tronk in Paarl-Oos aangehou. Die polisie het verlede Dinsdag op 'n eersteverdiepingkantoor in Nuwestraat toegeslaan en ook na getuienis van seksuele bedrywighede in vullisdromme gesoek. Die verdagte, altyd met sy kenmerkende aktetas byderhand, het 'n kantoor beset waaruit hy skoonmaakdienste vir die gebou gelewer het. Die polisie-optrede volg op 'n voorval Saterdag toe 'n 13-jarige meisie na bewering in dié kantoor bedwelm en toe verkrag is. Bewerings dat ander meisies ook na die kantoor gelok en dan seksueel misbruik is, word ondersoek. Speurders is op die spoor van 'n vermeende medepligtige. * A man suspected of drugging and raping a young girl at the Paarl welfare will be applying for bail. |

'n JONG man van Wellington wat die naweek met 'n koeël in die hart tereggestel is, was nie die bedoelde teiken nie. Arthur Daniels (20) van Craffordstraat 2, Van Wyksvlei, se gesin en vriende is stomgeslaan oor die dood van "die kind wat altyd vriendelik was". Arthur was Saterdagnag saam met vriende in Carterville en op pad huis toe, toe drie lede van die Americans bende hulle genader het. Hulle het glo reg voor Arthur gaan staan, en die sneller getrek. Twee verdagtes het reeds in die Wellington landdroshof verskyn. Hulle word aangehou. 'n Derde verdagte is nog op vrye voet. Volgens die polisie en inwoners is daar die afgelope drie weke "woelinge" onder die bendes in die Carterville-omgewing. "Arthur is vir iemand anders aangesien." Hy het in 2001 aan Weltevrede Hoërskool gematrikuleer en het nou by 'n supermark op Wellington gewerk. "Hulle was erg oor hom by die werk. Hy was 'n goeie seun, het altyd gegroet en gelag. Sy skoolmaats was so ontsteld. My kind sou volgende maand 21 geword het." Hy word oorleef deur sy moeder Joan en broer Delton (25). Die tuisdiens is Saterdag om 10:00 te Uitkykstraat 20, Newton, met die kerkdiens om 11:00 in die Newton VGK Kerk. |

A UNIQUE public/private partnership has been formed to redevelop the central business district of Paarl. The landmark agreement between Drakenstein Municipality and local landowners to redevelop and upgrade Lady Grey Street between Main Street and Verster Street was signed yesterday. The plan includes the closure of a part of Lady Grey Street and New Street and redevelopment of the streets as well as surrounding squares such as Patriot Square and Van der Lingen Square, because of the urgency to retain anchor tenants in the area. The purpose is to stimulate economic activity in the area and restore a sense of pride through improvements, redevelopment, cleanliness and the safety and security of the property owners and visitors to the area. This will create employment and trade opportunities, reducing poverty in the town. An Urban Renewal Steering Committee was created to oversee the process on behalf of the Municipal Council, with four municipal representatives and four representatives of property owners. Representing Council are councillors Herman Bailey (mayor), Anthea Sheldon (deputy mayor), Arthob Petersen and André vd Spuy de Villiers. Four representatives will be nominated by the property owners, who are advised by property developer Johan Pauw. Council will appoint a project officer to liaise with the committee and carry out the duties and responsibilities for the contract on behalf of the Municipality. The Committee shall be entitled to invite the national and provincial governments to appoint one representative each to serve as advisors in an ex officio capacity (without voting rights). The Council shall arrange for the appointment of a public forum consisting of representatives from the community on behalf of non-governmental organisations and diverse interest groups. "The CBD of Paarl is an invaluable component of the local economy of Drakenstein, providing jobs and services to a large part of the population," said Mayor Bailey. "Council is therefore committed to making it a safe and clean place for our workers, business owners and shoppers. "The redevelopment of the CBD would also make Paarl a major tourist attraction and a place where business would like to be located. "By forming this partnership we believe we will be able to harness the energies and talents of both teams to help us meet our social and economic objectives. "As the largest municipality in the Western Cape after Cape Town it is vital that we have a vibrant and prosperous Paarl. "The partnership will start a unique process that could set a precedent for many other towns and cities in South Africa. "We appeal to all residents of Paarl and indeed of Drakenstein to give this project all their support and co-operation when construction begins." The project will be subject to National Treasury Regulations concerning public/private participation to ensure that it is viable. Johan Pauw, CEO of the development company Paarl CBD Investments representing the property owners, estimates that the project could inject R200 million into the CBD during the first phase alone. Pauw said the state of decay and ongoing deterioration of the Paarl CBD was indisputable. "If the situation is left unchecked, it should be anticipated that there is a real threat that key anchor shops will relocate. "This development plan forms part of a bigger holistic plan for the redevelopment potential in the Paarl/Wellington area on the table, as well as a plan for Lady Grey Street. * On Tuesday morning 11 May at 07:00 Johan Pauw will address a meeting of the Paarl Sakekamer at Laborie Restaurant on the project. To book phone 872-6528 by tomorrow. |

THE distinct smell of dagga drew curious glances at the Paarl police station last week. While policemen strained to extract five 50kg bags of dagga from a battered green Toyota, the two alleged drug smugglers hovered forlornly again a wall. According to regulations, the suspects have to watch every move made by policemen. The men, both from Cape Town, had been travelling on the N1 on Thursday when they spotted a patrol vehicle with Paarl East Police Insp Cornelius Solomons and Const Jonty Davids. The suspects sped into Paarl East and drove along Regent Street until they hit a dead end at the Paarl East swimming pool, where they were both arrested after a chase on foot. Their car, crammed with black plastic bags leaving barely enough space for the driver and passenger, was taken to the Paarl police station. There the cargo, valued at more than R150 000, was marked, sealed and stored for safekeeping for the duration of the trial. |
