DOMESTIC WORKERS
Spike in abuse casesTARRENLEE HABELGAARN
@LeeLaVidaLoca
Allegations of domestic workers beingmistreated and underpaid are a grow-ing problem in the Athlone policing
precinct.More than 20 cases of abuse of domestic
workers have been logged at Athlone PoliceStation in the past six months, confirms sta-tion commander Colonel Krisjan Verwant.
“Most of the women coming to open casesare black or coloured women between theages of 20 and 40 years who are from ruraltowns or other provinces,” he says.
Verwant says “social workers have suc-cessfully managed to help 12 women andhave sent them home.”
But more cases continue to stream in, shepoints out.
“The number of cases and nature of theabuse is a big concern for police. It showsthat there is a big problem in the communityand that intervention is needed. We appealto all residents to report cases where theythink abuse of a domestic worker might betaking place. We have had women come intothe station dehydrated, having been beatenand verbally abused,” he says.
“We cannot allow this to happen anymore.We are relying on the community to informus of such cases so that we can investigateand intervene.”
Hilary Maritz, a social worker, says aboutone million, mainly black women, are em-ployed as domestic workers nationally.
She says the Basic Conditions of Employ-ment Act (BCEA) is the overarching pieceof legislation that regulates domestic work-ers wages and working conditions in addi-tion to, broadly speaking, all unorganisedworkers in South Africa.
However, many people fail to register do-mestic workers and adhere to the legislationshe says.
“The Act, in conjunction with the Consti-tution, sets out the rights of workers to alivelihood and their rights as human beings.Unfortunately too many people are takingadvantage of these women’s circumstancesand need for an income and are paying themnext to nothing for long hours and work,”she says.
“This problem isn’t unique to Athlone.
Over the past two years the problem hasbeen becoming worse. Women are beingpaid as little as R100 a week and have notbeen able to go home in years. The womenare being emotionally manipulated and con-vinced they have no say, but there are manyavenues they can explore. In the Athlone ar-ea I have found that because more womenare taking action others have come forwardand are being helped.”
Maritz says this is what they are trying toencourage and get more women to take ac-tion.
An Athlone domestic worker, speaking oncondition of anonymity, says foreigners arewilling to work for low wages and as a resultmany employers assume people from otherSouth African provinces would also be will-ing to work for low wages.
“People from Zimbabwe are willing towork for R40 a day, but I can’t do that be-cause I can’t live off that. Most of the people
in the area who are working for cheap la-bour come from other countries,” she says.
“If you have a problem and talk to yourboss they tell you that you can leave now be-cause there are plenty of people from Zimb-abwe who will work for cheap. It makes itdifficult for us to stand up against our em-ployers.”
Another domestic worker, who does notwant to be identified, says she has beenworking for the same family for three yearsand still only earns R300 a week.
She has requested a salary increase twiceduring the three-year period and every timeshe does, she is verbally abused.
“I am shouted at, called stupid and disre-spected, but I have to keep quiet and acceptit because I am desperate for the work.”
Maritz says because employers are notregistering domestic workers and are decid-ing on salaries (in contravention of theBCEA) it makes it difficult to monitor fair
labour practice and annual increases.“This is serious as the cost of living and
especially food prices have risen sharply inrecent years,” she says.
Resident Andrea Marcus says communi-cation is a two-way street and most peopleshe knows only employ domestic workers ifboth parties are in agreement.
“When I hire someone I tell them what Ican afford. It’s up to her to agree. If shedoesn’t agree, she doesn’t have to stay.”
Athlone Community Police Forum chair-person Azizah Kannemeyer says she has re-ceived numerous complaints from domesticworkers regarding racism and neglect.
A domestic worker, speaking on conditionof anonymity, adds: “I used to eat outside.It is apartheid because they [some employ-ers] still think [domestic workers] aren’t onthe same level as them.”V Starting with the word “Post”, SMS your thoughtsto 32516. SMSes cost R1.

TAMING THE TEENAGER
WhenCokeis bestGAVIN FISH
I drank two cans of Coke in the year’s firstassembly. Well, actually I opened them.The openingwasmore important than the
drinking…I spoke of my recent family hike down the
coast fromKeiMouth to Gonubie... 60kms ofbeach sand, spectacular scenery, weariness,sun and wind.At the end of each day, we collapsed at
some or other restaurant and ordered Cokeon the rocks. Almost as good as the taste wasthe magical click – the shwoosh of the canbeing opened and the clatter of ice beingdropped into our glasses.Every drink tastes better when it has been
earned.It ismore satisfying, hits the spot, and tast-
es richer, sweeter... we all know the disap-pointment of the “unearned” cup of coffee,the soft drink, drunk when not reallythirsty.The point I was making is that too many
of today’s teens have a flat Coke experienceof what should be their most thrilling years.The “rewards’ they experience are some-
what diluted and naggingly unsatisfying.Huge effort, work ethic, sweat and exhaus-
tion are not as commonplace as they shouldbe.My challenge to my school family was to
exhaust themselves… to do something dif-ferent, something new, something out oftheir narrow groove of okay activities, tolivewith the volume turned up (no, not liter-ally) and, to push themselves and allowthemselves to be pleased and satisfied withthe results of exertion (be it academic, sport-ing, culture or whatever).Nowadays it is increasingly difficult to
make attractive the belief that “the rewardsof life come closer to the end of the journey,rather than at the beginning”.Teens need to be encouraged to identify
their WIGS – Wildly Important Goals (Cov-ey) – and to understand that it should affectthe way they spend their evening, theirweekend, and their school holidays.It is about delayed gratification, some-
thingmost of us adults are still getting ahan-dle on.Spine Road High School is my current in-
spiration. Principal Rhiyaad Najaar aimedfor a 100% pass rate for 30 years.They achieved just that, all 233 of theirma-
triculants passed.Do you want to bet how good their Coke
on the rocks tastes just now?Challenge your teen to commit to some-
thing, to stick at it, to set a target, a goal andwhen it is achieved to savour and celebrateit.After all, success breeds success.

Station safety on agendaTARRENLEE HABELGAARN
@LeeLaVidaLoca
Commuters travelling to and from theCrawford station are asking for dump-ing and safety issues at the station to
be addressed urgently.Residents are asking for increased police
visibility in the morning and at night forpeople on theirway to school or the bus stop.Athlone police commander Colonel Kris-
jan Verwant confirms there has been an in-crease in reported incidents of people beingrobbed when walking to and from the sta-tion.“People are most vulnerable during the
morning and afternoon. We have receivedcomplaints of children being robbed of theircellphones, school bags and money on theirway to school. Elderly people walking hometo and from the bus terminus are also beingtargeted, especially on a South African So-cial Services Agency (Sassa) payout day,”explains Verwant.“We urge people not to walk alone and not
to travelwith large amounts ofmoneyor val-uables on them.”Verwant says they will be increasing visi-
bility around the station and terminus in themorning when people are travelling to workand school as well as in the evening whenthey return.“It is difficult to say when criminals will
see an opportunity to attack but having apresence in the area, it deters them from try-ing. We would also like to call on neighbour-hood watches to assist us by just walkingaround those hotspots at night or in the aft-ernoon if they are available.”Residents have also pointed out that ille-
gal dumping is an increasing problem at the
railway station.Metrorail regionals manager Richard
Walker said cleaning rail reserves costaround R800 000 a year, while station clean-ing costs about R12m per year.“Littering remains a challenge and thou-
sands of rands are spent annually on clean-ing our facilities,” he says.According to Walker, railway tracks are
cleaned twice a year.He also warns that illegal dumping is a
municipal offence and perpetrators foundguilty with be dealt with harshly.Resident Amiera Hendricks says she is
forced to leave her valuables in her drawerat work and travel with the bare minimum.“On Fridays my husband picks me up at
work and then I’ll bring home all my thingsfor the weekend. It is an inconvenience be-cause I can’t take the chance to bringmy lap-top home unless I’m coming home by car.I’m on my third cellphone in six months soI’m forced to travel with a cheap phone justto make calls,” she fumes.“There is a big need for police to be patrol-
ling around 06:00 because its dark and that’swhen most of the thieves take advantage [ofcommuters].”V Starting with the word “Post”, SMS your thoughtsto 32516. SMSes cost R1.

Manenberg couple arrestedA Manenberg couple were arrested for pos-session of drugs and ammunition early onFriday morning.According to a police report a 33-year-old
man and his 40-year-old wife were arrestedat 05:15 at a residence in Katberg Road, Hei-develd.Manenberg police spokesperson Lieuten-
ant Ian Bennett says the police’s emergencyresponse unit received a tipoff that led themto the residence.“Officers knocked on the door to gain ac-
cess to the house but a woman started scold-ing at the police to delay this,” Bennett says.“They entered the property and searched
the house. During the search officers cameacross a bag containing 590 mandrax tabletslaying at the back of the house. They contin-ued searching and discovered 59 rounds of9mm ammunition and R5680 in cash.”
Bennett says the rounds seemed to be new.The couple was arrested and will be ap-
pearing in the Athlone Magistrate’s Courtsoon.Manenberg police station commander
Brigadier Andre Van Dyk has expressed hisdisappointment in the events leading up tothe arrest.“It is sad that families have become in-
volved in gang related activities. We rely onfamilies and the broader community formoral regeneration, but it seems thatwewilllose the fight to [protect] our youth whenfamilies become involved in crime,” he says.“There is no excuse to be in possession of
drugs andammunition.We see youngpeopledying because of this andwe rely on the com-munity to help us make arrests.”Phone Manenberg police on (021) 699 9400.
There is also more lighting neededas this too will act as a deterrent.

PDSA open for business againThe sudden closure of the People’s Dispen-sary for SickAnimals (PDSA) clinic inAth-lone recently has left the community andespecially pet owners in Athlone and sur-rounding areas confused and in despair.The closure was, however, only tempo-
rary.According to a pet owner they were only
notified with a small notice up on the doorstating that the clinic is closed until fur-ther notice and people should take theirsick animals to the PDSA’s Bridgetownclinic.Charmaine Eksteen from Athlone says
the clinic plays a vital role and serves awide-spread community. She says she tookher sick dog to the clinic at the beginningof January, and was told to return weeklywith her dog for regular checkups.“When I got there the followingweek, the
gates were closed and the notice was up.“When I returned for the second week,
it was still closed.”PatrickHorrigan, CEOof thePDSA (SA),
says the closure of their Athlone animalclinic in January was “unforeseen” andwas “as a result of our being unable to as-
sign an experienced animal welfare assist-ant to provide the services normally on of-fer”. He has since confirmed the Athloneclinic has reopened on Tuesday 3 February.The PDSA relies mostly on donations
from the public and communities are urgedto support a potjiekos competition at thePDSABridgetownclinic onSaturday28Feb-ruary. And an annual golf day will takeplace on Thursday 12 March. Visit the web-site www.pdsa.org.za for more details.

Gang activity, drugs, violence and pain.These are only some of the words
many people associate with Manen-berg.The increasing violence has crippled the
community and parents have been forced toset up stop points and walk in formationsto get children to school unharmed.Despite the ongoing challenges faced by
this community, a new NPO is helping tohighlight the successes in Manenberg andprovide the youth with hope.Step Abroad is a Manenberg-based NPO
that uses amentorship programme to assistchildren showing academic promise.Some of the mentors include doctors, ac-
countants and engineers who have all beenborn and raised in Manenberg.Programme director Sam Henkeman
says through the mentorship programme,they hope to create a documentary that canbe used to show positive stories in Manen-berg.“Wewant this to serveas thedriving force
to get young people excited and give themhope. All people ever see on the news is neg-ative stories about Manenberg, but here isso much good happening in our communi-ty,” he says.“Even though our children struggle to
study because of gang violence and schoolshave very low matric pass rates there arechildren who have finished school and arenow studying to be accountants, doctorsand engineers. We want to show that amidthe gang violence and crime, people are suc-
cessful.”The programme aims to provide children
between Grade 10 and 12 with academic en-richment.The mentorship programme includes
teaching children leadership skills, teach-ing them to communicate in a non-violentmanner to resolve conflict as well as a bur-sary programme.Principals at schools will identify chil-
dren they think could benefit from the pro-gramme.“If we can train a group of children at
each school to have leadership skills, con-flict resolution skills as well as academicenrichment then theywill start to teach oth-er children to be the same way,” he says.“We have also been asked to have similar
training workshops with the neighbour-hood watches and community policing fo-rum as they are the first point of contactwhen there is violence or problems.”By doing so Henkeman says they hope to
transform Manenberg from an area of de-spair to an area of hope.“We want to use these mechanisms to in-
filtrate and change themindset of residents.If implemented properly it can work to cre-ate a new generation of thinkers, reduce vi-olence and uplift people.”The NPO is looking at programmes to
help incarcerated individuals ease back in-to society once they are released from pris-on. “We want to partner with other organi-sations to help those who have been in pris-on reconnect with society once they haveserved their time,” says Henkeman.V For more information or to get involved email SamHenkeman on henkeman@telkomsa.net

Metal theft nightmareSAMANTHA LEE
@Samantha_Lee121
A sudden spike in drain cover thefts hasleft residents feeling vulnerable in theareas of Rondebosch East and Craw-
ford.Since the beginning of the year, drain cov-
ers, manhole covers and pipe covers havebeen targeted, say residents.Hylton Mitchell, spokesperson for Lanroe
Neighbourhood Watch and Civic Associa-tion of Rondebosch East, says numerousroads have been affected.“It seems there has been a sharp increase
in the theft of roadside metal drain coversin the Rondebosch East and Crawford areas,
judging from the many missing covers andreports.“We suspect it is most likely that the
thieves strike in the early hours of themorn-ing and come in with a vehicle,” he says.Mitchell says a report indicates the perpe-
trators come to loosen the covers during theday to make the job easier at night.Neighbourhoodwatchmembers have also
given chase to a suspicious vehicle.Mitchell says something must be done to
curb the thefts. “If the council and Law En-forcement don’t do something soon, thenthese organised syndicates will remove allthe metal drain covers, making them deathtraps for cyclists and children in our areas– not to mention the damage it will cause to
the resident’s vehicles,” he says.Roadsworst affected by the thefts are Dale
and Trevor streets.Mitchell suggests a clampdown on scrap
metal dealers in the area to track downthieves and issue strong warnings and finesif someof the scrapdealers are buying stolendrain covers.At the time of going to print the City of
Cape Town did not respond to a media en-quiry about the drain theft.In a previous report, Mayoral Committee
Member for Safety and Security JP Smithsaid the Metro Police Copperheads weremonitoring drain cover thefts in the city.“In the last financial year the Copper-
heads made 107 arrests – 46 of which were
successfully prosecuted. The City is also inthe very early stages of consideringwhetherthere is a need for a bylaw thatwill dealwithproblem businesses more effectively.“This will include scrapyards and bucket
shops, with specific provisions for ensuringthe closure of such premises where there isproof of repeated acts of violence, drug deal-ing, criminal activity and contravention oflegislation,” he said.Last year the City spent R7.5m on replac-
ing stolen infrastructure.At the timeutility servicesmaycomember
Ernest Sonnenberg said the City can not doit alone. “The Copperheads play an impor-tant role in investigating and combatingmetal theft. However, the City relies on thecooperation of residents. Remain vigilantand report these incidents either to police orthe City on 0800 222 771 or Law Enforcementon 0800 225 669,” said Sonnenberg.At the time of going to print, People’s Post
was informed the missing, broken and sto-len covers were replaced with concrete andplastic alternatives.

Don’t let load sheddingspoil your supperWith Wonderbag, a revolutionary,
non-electric, heat retention cooker,you can continue to cook food that
has been brought to the boil for up to 12hours, even after the power has gone out.Wonderbag was founded in South Africa
six years ago by local entrepreneur and so-cial activist, Sarah Collins.The product was born out of a practical
desire to continue cooking during a bout ofEskom load shedding.Collins remembered how her grandmo-
ther would wrap her pots in pillows andblankets to let the food simmer and cook un-til completion. This birthed the idea to crea-te a solution that would allow people withinurban and rural environments to cook whi-le drastically minimising their need forenergy.Cooking with a Wonderbag uses only a
fraction of the energy normally requiredto prepare a meal.
This method of slow cooking benefits theenvironment and your pocket. One caneven prepare ameal before leaving the hou-se for a few hours, and then return to a rea-dy-to-serve meal.Also available is the mini Wonderbag

A beacon of hopeROWENA HENDRICKS
@roxyh28
Two groups of youngmothers are turn-ing out to be a beacon of hope in Ma-nenberg after starting their own busi-
nesses.The groups, made up of six previously
unemployed women, last week launchedtheir own bakery and catering and leatherworks businesses respectively.The Manenberg Community Employ-
ment Developers and Caterers andManen-berg Leather Works and Accessories coop-
eratives were recently registered and isready for production. At the launch lastweek Dan Plato, provincial minister ofCommunity Safety, expressed his excite-ment about these and other community up-liftment projects at the Manenberg’s Peo-ple Centre.He says theCity fully supports such initi-
atives, and personally pledged his supportfor the group of young mothers.According to Naomi Stemmet from the
South African Business Resources Insti-tute (Sabri), the leather workshopwill pro-duce handmade leather shoes and accesso-
ries to retailers, while the bakery will pro-duce fresh bread, buns and other delightsdaily.“Negotiations with big retailers are al-
ready in the works.”She says the group of mothers received
training and skills development over thelast year and their hard work and commit-ment have proved them worthy of owningtheir businesses.“The women not only received practical
skills training, but were also equippedwith, among others, communication, firstaid, anger management, health and safety,
trauma counselling and business skills, aswell as cooperative training presented bythe National Youth Development Agency(Nyda).”Kashiefa Davids (25), amother of a three-
year-old girl, says the project has changedher life for the better.“It is not every day that one is offered

Allwe asking council is to level the road ason opposite side. Please look into it asresidents use walkway to get to thebustop. It is a site. – R Abbas

several burglaries. I am a widow andcannot afford to replace my things anylonger. [Parts of the area] have become adrug den and late at night young girlsare prostitung in Belgravia Road. Pleasethis is damaging to society.

Xenophobia: an excuse for criminalityThe recent looting by township residentsof foreign owned shops is an ominoussign of the level of moral decay in ourtownships. The actions were theft;xenophobia was merely the excuse.The decision by township residents to
loot and burn down foreign ownedbusinesses, because of the fatal shootingof a teenager suspected of stealing fromone of these shops, is a highly hypocriti-cal one.Mainly because the same teenager,
caught breaking into someone’s house,would be stoned and set alight, vigilantestyle.His death was just a perfect excuse for
residents to go on a rampage to blatantlysteal.When people operate as a mob, they
lose all capacity to think and act likeindividuals. One killing was enough toarouse an entire township against theforeign businesses.After the looting and total destruction
of these small businesses, the local
pundits presented a whole lot of hack-neyed grievances against foreignersdoing businesses in the townships tojustify the looting.Now that these convenience stores are
destroyed, local residents are at themercy of local traders, who will exploitthe situation and charge them exorbitantprices. When the dust settles, the resi-dents will eagerly wait for foreigners toreopen their stores to provide basic foodsat reasonable prices, and in some instan-ces on account.Looting and trashing businesses was a
legitimate strategy during the struggle,but 20 years into democracy, this strate-gy has no place at all in airing ourgrievances. It should be outrightlycondemned by our leadership.The silence by our past and present
leadership on the attacks on foreignnationals in our country must have beenmet with absolute disdain by manyleaders and communities from the rest ofAfrica.
We forget that the countries up northgave our freedom fighters – today’sleaders – refuge when they were in exile.The dastardly act by local residentsagainst foreigners is a terrible way for usto say ‘thank you’ to them for the helpthey gave us during our struggle forfreedom.The scale of protest was far too huge
for a small band of police officers tocontrol. In situations such as these, onlya strong and respected leadership, suchas Madiba and Archbishop emeritusDesmond Tutu, could stop such riots.When the late Chris Hani was assassinat-ed, it was the power of Tutu’s leadershipthat stopped the angry masses fromunleashing their anger through a bloodbath. He very successfully exhorted thenation to throw down their spears ofanger and focus their efforts on the unityof our country.His style of leadership is sadly lacking
among the current crop of leaders, andthat should be of great concern to all ofus, when looking at the future.
DR ELLAPEN RAPITI,Mitchell’s Plain
If you’re anything like most people, you would by nowbe frantically surfing the internet for ideas of how to addthat extra special spark to your love life.Yes, true to the Gregorian calendar, Valentine’s day
comes around once a year every year.And, without fail, lovers – those who are, others who
have a great hope and thosewho are old hands –will allowthemselves to be steered towards the chainstores quiteconvinced thatwhat theirmoney canbuywill be evidenceof their love.Like drones, unthinkingly, the masses are propelled to
buy, buy, buy.But, like the song says, with apologies, money probably
can’t buy you love.So here’s a thought. Or two.If you’re in love perhaps you should bemaking an effort
every day.Not justwhen the commercialwheels are turn-ing you towards the mall and driving you to reach foryour wallet.Forgive the cliche, but really, this one is so true. It is
the little things that count, yes?Love takes hard work, commitment, dedication and
selfless acts that cost you time and effort each day.Buying something from a shelf ... that’s too easy.Just think. Do you really want your love to admire the
flowers only to cast them in a bin when they start droop-ing? And they will, unless they’re fake, which probablysays a lot about your taste in gifts.Or what about the cuddly soft toy with the little heart
that lights up? Cute for a day, then it takes pride of placeon a shelf or at her/his work, only to become a burdenwhen it has to be cleaned. Have you ever tried cleaninga soft toy that is battery-operated? Not fun.Make him/her coffee in bed, take a moonlight walk,
pack a picnic and enjoy a sunset or sunrise. Do the unex-pected little things that will earn you real thanks.

LOCAL IS LEKKER 2015
Dr Vic loves to performLOUISA STEYL
@lounotes
With two decades of hits under theirbelts, Dr Victor and the Rasta Rebelshave become synonymous with “feel-
good” music.That’s exactly what fans can expect when
the band takes to the stage at the Liqui-FruitAmphitheatre in Paarl for Local is Lekker2015.
The band is one of three acts that CapeTown audiences chose to perform at theshow, the only one in the country where thepublic decides the line-up.
Openair concertFrontman Dr Victor says he’s looking for-
ward to the outdoor show, which takes placeon Saturday 21 March.
“I like open-air concerts because every-thing is bigger; bigger dance moves, biggerapplause and a huge sound system to playthrough.”
Dr Vic, as he is also known, says the bandis planning to play some of the hits that madethem a household name in South Africa.
“Most of the songs I’ve had the opportunityto sing on are crossover songs and they appe-al to all races and the whole family,” the sin-ger says.
He’s also achieved success with the anti-apartheid anthem cover song Give me hope,Joanna by Eddy Grant. Many of their songswere already hits in the ’60s and ’70s beforethe Rasta Rebels recorded their own versi-ons.
A ‘good song’“I believe a good song will always be a good
song,” he says.Dr Victor’s musical career has seen him
share the stage with international stars likeGloria Estefan and Janet Jackson. But, hesays, career highlights include meeting Paul
Simon in 1995 and Tina Turner in 1996.He is also involved with local talent and
even co-wrote and produced the popular Youtouch me (horny) album by Dawnay.
The title track of the album spent a record-breaking 22 weeks at the top of local chartsin 2001.
Helpping outDr Victor is currently working with Ricar-
do, whose single I love you, Daddy was a hugehit in the ’80s.
“The brother needs my help and I’m justreaching out to him as a friend,” he says.
Dr Victor also hopes to finish his smoothjazz guitar project and his long overdueChristmas album this year.
For now, fans can look forward to seeinghim with the Rasta Rebels at Local is Lekker2015 where they’ll share the stage with GarthTaylor and Theuns Jordaan.
The show is being presented by TygerBur-ger, Smile 90.4fm and CapeGate ShoppingCentre who gave readers, listeners and shop-pers the chance to nominate and then votefor their favourite local acts last year, there-by giving them the chance to choose theirown line-up for the annual concert.
Audience participationDr Victor says he likes the idea of audien-
ces choosing performers. “It would reallystretch our creativity as musicians.
“I would like to thank all the fans for theircontinued support over the years and thanksfor voting for me to perform atLocal is Lekker2015. I’m looking forward to a great gig,” heconcludes.
Visit the Dr Victor & The Rasta Rebels’Facebook page or follow Dr Vic on Twitterat @drvictorlive to stay up to date with hisactivities.V Tickets for Local is Lekker 2015 cost between R130and R160 and are available at www.cultivaria.com orComputicket.

GAMMIE LAKAY
Lighting up Carnegie HallGARY VAN DYK
@gvdcapejazz
The journey fromablikkitaar inAthloneto stepping onto the stage at CarnegieHall started when Gammie Lakay fell
in lovewith the sounds that surrounded himin his neighbourhood.If you’ve been to a David Kramer concert
or production over the past 25 years, you’veexperienced themusicalmagic that happenswhen he gets that guitar groove going, he’sbeen in the band for that long.While working with Kramer and the late
Taliep Petersen in their productions, tour-ing the world has been a dream come truefor Gammie. And it’s a journey that is stillcontinuing.In December last year Gammie was part
of the band that went to Carnegie Hall inNewYork.He saidwhenhe steppedonto thatstage he thought back to his roots.“I was very emotional,” he says. “Was this
laaitie who learnt his music on the streetsreally standing on this stage?“As I plugged in for the sound check and
the first notes of my guitar rang out I knewitwasnot a dream;mypassion formusic hadpaid off.”
Right movesGammie points out that growing up in 7th
Avenue in Athlone you could not help hav-ing music influence you.“This is the same road as the famous But-
ler family,” he says.“Music came to you from the corners
where guys were singing, the langarmbands, the Christmas Choirs and, of course,the Minstrels. When I first heard the soundof the guitar with the choirs I knew that I
wanted to play.”There was no money for an instrument at
that time so some ingenuity sawhimmakinghis own guitar from a tin can.“I just had to play something,” he laughs.“There were no formal lessons so I just
watched. My ‘guitar’ may not have been intune, but my fingers were making the rightmoves and in my head I was a star.”Eventually he got a real guitar for his
birthday when he was 13 and he started tak-ing his music more seriously learning fromthose around him and getting involved withthe minstrels.“My music school was the streets, the ra-
dio and gramophone. There was always mu-sic around me and I wanted to play every-
thing fromThe Shadows and Beatles to JimiHendrix.”Eventually word of his talent spread and
he was invited to join the band Harold andthe Hippies (eventually shortened to justThe Hippies).“Wewereverypopular on the local scene,”
he remembers.“Richard John Smith was also part of the
band at the time and we even had a bit ofa hit with the song Storybook children, butthe radio would not play it because hippieswere supposed to be ‘bad’ at the time,” helaughs.Since then there have been many bands
that hehas playedwith.But it is the relation-ship with the minstrels that eventually got
him joining the Kramer/Petersen family.“I always knew Taliep (Petersen) from
working with the minstrels and he alwaysloved my playing. For many years he wouldtell me that he wanted to work with me butboth of us were always busy with other pro-jects.“Eventually Howard Links (bass player
for Kramer/Petersen) rocked up atmy placeand just said: “Kom, Taliep soek vir jou.”And that was that.
Musical journeyThis relationship has also seen some of
Gammie’s original material featured in theKramer concerts.“A particularly proudmoment formewas
when David included my tune Ons jol innieHeideveld for the concert in Carnegie Hall.“Of course we eventually sang Ons jol in-
nie Carnegie Hall and watching the peopleget up and dancemademe realise howproudI was to be working with the best in theSouth African music industry.”The musical journey is far from over for
Gammie and there is still much he is doingand wants to do.Recording is high on that list of getting his
original material on an album, he wants toteach more youth music, and he still lovesdoing gigs when he is not working on a Kra-mer production. He has formed a group Fan-tacy with singer Vincent Carlindt and theydo a regular gig at theGroundCoffeeRestau-rant (4 Denver Road, Lansdowne) on Thurs-days from 20:00 and on Saturdays at CafeRoyale (also in Lansdowne Road) from 17:00.V Gammie Lakay can be contacted on 083 776 5092.Check Gammie in action at https://www.youtu-be.com/watch?v=9rBjnakTmWA.akTmWA.

that a local community event now sharesour national cricket team’s brand as spon-sor.People’s Post is the print media partner of
the Big Walk.The basic form of the Big Walk remains
the same. It is a charity event for the RedCross Children’s Hospital and a communitylibrary. The hospital benefited over manyyears by means of funds contributed by theBig Walk. Significant projects in the paediat-ric, oncology, specialised X-ray and other de-partments were completed by funds from theevent.
The library is also a specialist facilityopen to all people, but also servicing pupilsas well as academic research.
After 15 years, the basic value offered bythe Big Walk is still great fun, good healthand support for worthy charities. The routeoffers the unparalleled beauty and morningair of the Sea Point promenade starting atthe Cape Town Stadium Forecourt and end-ing at the Green Point Track.
As always, the organisers encourage earlyentry to avoid disappointment. Further-more, there are benefits for all participatingschools that submit bulk entries. All en-trants will receive a T-shirt and a goodie bagat registration from February 26 to 28 at theCollege of Cape Town, Crawford Campus.
The closing date for entries is February 23and entry forms are available at the BigWalk office, Islamic Library Gatesville andPaarl, all Tekkie Town stores, Golden Feath-er Spur Vangate, Honeys Stationery Van-gate Mall, Ottery Hyper, Gatesville Shop-ping Centre, Spitfire Chicken and Grill, TazBoutique, Gatesville and Winners Super-market, Mitchell’s Plain.
