Last week members of the Plattekloof, Welgelegen, Panorama and Kleinbosch (PWP) Neighbourhood Watch escorted a wheelchair-bound pensioner from her home at a retirement village to a meeting she had to attend, stopping traffic all along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Terry Swart, PWP-spokesperson, says Tannie Brenda Schwartz, as she is affectionately known, attended a meeting for Fontaine Bleau Retirement Village situated in Rothschild Boulevard, Welgelegen, at a nearby restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PWP patrollers escorted her from Fontaine Bleau to her meeting at Cafe Chameleon in Plattekloof on Thursday night, Swart says. A number of neighbourhood watch vehicles and a bike with flashing lights also escorted her back home later that evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The meeting was the first annual meeting of the body corporate management committee for the year which is always held at the restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey approached our neighbourhood watch and asked us to help again. We help them everyyear, although last year and the year before they did not have a meeting because of Covid-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe meet her at the retirement village and walk with her through the traffic. We block the whole lane of Rothschild Boulevard, and over Plattekloof Road, stopping the traffic so that she can move with her wheelchair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is the only time she actually gets out,\u201d says Swart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The neighbourhood watch patrollers also escorted the pensioner back home after her meeting. Patrol vehicles with their headlights shined the way back home for the wheelchair bound Tannie Brenda.<\/div>\n

The meeting started at 18:00 and ended at 22:00.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAfter the meeting I will get a call again, we will go and fetch her and walk down with her again, with our vehicle\u2019s lights on,\u201d says Swart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Excelda Petrie, office adminis\u00adtrator at the Fontaine Bleau Retirement Village, says it is fantastic and absolutely unbelievable what PWP does for Tannie Brenda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBrenda also only has the high\u00adest appreciation for their friendliness and helpfulness. It is commendable and wonderful what they are doing,\u201d Petrie says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brenda is a member of the body corporate management committee at the retirement village and was attending their annual meeting on Thursday, she confirmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJanuary each year we have a meeting of the management committee at Caf\u00e9 Chameleon\u2019s board\u00adroom,\u201d Petrie says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brenda, a paraplegic who has to make use of a motorised wheel\u00adchair, could not attend at first because Dial-a-Ride do not do night time leisurely rides, says Petrie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo she could not attend. I had a contact at PWP and he has since left, but he said that I should speak to Terry Swart. For the last two to three years I have been calling her. It is absolutely amazing what they are doing, they do not hesitate and are always on time,\u201d says Petrie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brenda is unable to manoeuvre her wheelchair on the pavement due to the street light poles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe poles are in the middle of the pavement, so they have to escort her on the road, right up through Roths\u00adchild Boulevard, across Plattekloof Road right up to the shopping village,\u201d Petrie explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She adds: \u201cThis is really caring for the elderly and the disabled. This is commendable, something that goes way beyond their call of duty. And they do it with friendliness and compassion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Swart says PWP does the favour for Tannie Brenda who always appear appreciative that she can get out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is just one good thing that we do for the community,\u201d concluded Swart.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
