With the help of the Western Cape educa- tion department, they launched a truancy programme at Bokmakierie Primary School on Friday 22 January. The project is aimed at pupils and children who are not in school. Walter Daniels, one of the event’s coordi- nators, says by 17:00 the school’s parking ar- ea was buzzing with activity. “The parking lot where the actual event took place was jamming with children, mu- sic, interactive games and mothers taking their seats to watch the proceedings.” The registration desk where youth volun- teers and high school pupils assisted was in a state of frenzy as pupils made sure their names were registered. Larry Lewis, principal of Bokmakierie Primary, welcomes the initiative and ex- pects it to grow, despite the challenges which exist. “The day was a great success and well at- tended. However, I thought that there could have been more parents present,” he says. He believes it will be a tough task to con- vince parents to attend events of this nature as the numbers have already dwindled with regard to parent meetings at the school. “We want to encourage parents to be in- volved in their children’s education, be- cause that is the future – a future to a suc- cessful career and life. We don’t have such a huge problem (with absenteeism) here at our school, but when kids see that the other kids are wanting to come to school and keen to register, then maybe it will influence those who do not come to school to change their minds.” Daniels says just over 250 children were registered at the event. This included pupils who do not attend Bokmakierie Primary. “We focused mostly on Bokmakierie. Go- ing forward the idea is just to try and get the children to go to school, but we also need the education department to zoom in. What we did do was we had an attendance register of the kids who were in school and not in school so that the education department could fo- cus on those kids who were not in school. “There are a lot of children in Bokmakier- ie itself who are 13, 12, 11 who are not in school and younger primary school pupils struggling to get into schools. So the idea is that from the register to target those kids and visit those houses. That is why we took the children’s names, surnames and ad- dresses, which will be followed up by the ed- ucation department,” says Daniels.

Snakes – not pet’s best friendMICHELLE LINNERT

@linnertMB

Snakes soaking up the sun and slitheringaway from veld fires often end up in resi-

dential backyards, making them a seriousadversary to domestic pets.Because of this, veterinarians Ryan Nor-

rie andNolanMoss at the TygerbergAnimalHospital say their hospital has recently seenan increase in the number of snake bites inpets.“We have definitely seen an increase in

snake bites this year,” Moss says. “Thereseems to be an increase across the Cape Pen-insula.”

He says while no accurate numbers areavailable, the largest number of snake bite in-cidents are taking place close to Table Moun-tain.The reason is simple, Moss says. “Snakes

are more active in hot, dry weather, whichmay account for the increased numbers re-cently.”

Fires send snakes fleeingNorrie agrees: “Snakes are cold-blooded an-

imals that raise their body temperature by ly-ing in the sun or lower it by crawling into theshade. So this means snake bites will be lesslikely to happen in winter time as the snakesare hibernating.

“Also, something tothink about is all of thefires we are experienc-ing – you find that mostwildlife will move to saf-er areas, and this couldbe your backgarden oreven your house,” Nor-rie says.They have seenmostly

Cape cobra and puff ad-der snake bites over thelast two months, Mossadds.He explains a bit more

about the chemical reac-tions caused by the twotoxins: “Cape cobras areneurotoxic and cause pa-ralysis of the respiratorymuscles, leading todeath. Puff adders arecytotoxic andbites causesevere tissue swelling,with fluid, bloodandpro-tein loss.“In both cases anti-

venom treatment redu-ces the severity of clini-cal signs butmust be giv-en in the early stages,”Moss says.According to him, co-

bra bite victims need tobe placed on aventilator,normally for one to threedays, and they requireintensive care, whilepuff adder victims oftendevelop shock and multiple organ failure,requiring intensive care andusuallymulti-ple plasma and blood transfusions.And treatment is not cheap.“The cost of treatment can escalate be-

yond R30 000 in some cases. Many animalsunfortunately die before they are present-ed to the clinic.”Moss adds cobra bites that are treated ag-

gressively and early usually have a morepromising outcome, but not sowith puff ad-der bites.“Even with aggressive treatment the

prognosis for puff adder bites is alwaysguarded,” Moss says. “I recently treated astaffmember’s dog that required fourbloodtransfusions, six plasma transfusions andtook over one month to fully recover.”Norrie says they’ve seen some really sad

cases, but it’s not all doom and gloom.“Most of the time if a pet pulls through

from such an attack there are hardly anyafter-effects, but possible scarring or mus-cle loss from dead tissue has been seen.“You won’t see it very often, but if a pa-

tientwasbittenonanextremity and to savethe pet’s life, amputation canbe anoption,”he says.“Wehave seen someheartbreaking cases

where the outcome was death. In one casewe had two rottweilers that were bitten bythe same snake and both dogs were putdown due to their state,” says Norrie.

Owners must keep clearHe addswhen pets are bitten, owners need

to keep clear of the snakes to avoid being bit-ten themselves. So how can owners avoidpets getting bitten?“There is no way of avoiding snake bites

at home short of permanently housing thepet,” says Moss.Pet owners need to be aware of the risks

when taking their animals on walks, andadds they need to learn to identify the twosnakes.“Neither snake is particularly aggressive.

Pet owners should never attempt to confronta snake,” Moss says.Once bitten, time is of the essence, espe-

cially where the Cape cobra is concerned.“Only a few veterinary practices stock an-

ti-venomdue to its high cost, and fewer prac-tices still have 24-hour care and ventilators,for the same reason.“Pet owners should acquaint themselves

with practices that are able to treat snakebites. If a pet is bitten by either snake, theyshould immediately be transported to a 24-hour facility that possesses a ventilator andstocks anti-venom.”Norrie says their facility is one of few that

stocks the required anti-venom and is openat all hours.V Has your pet been the unfortunate victim of a snakebite? Let People’s Post know about your experienceby emailing [email protected].

The presence of puff adders (pictured) and Cape cobras has ledto an increase in the number of snake bites in pets, says a localveterinary hospital with several branches across the Peninsula.Snake bite treatment is a very expensive affair, but can save thelife of a pet.

EARL HAUPT@EarlHaupt

Two members of the Hard Livings gangin Manenberg were convicted of mur-

der and sentenced to life in prison in theKhayelitsha Regional Court last week.

Igshaan Nortan (26) and Yazeed Mack(23) were given life terms on Tuesday forthe July 2013 murder of Ramano Oliver,boyfriend of Chantelle Knight (30) and fa-ther of her children.

Nortan and Mack also received another10-year prison sentence each for the at-tempted murder of Knight and two five-year sentences each for illegal possessionof a firearm and ammunition.

Knight was the key witness in the state’s

case against former Hard Livings gangleaderRashied Staggie. Knight,whowas 17years old at the time, testified that Staggiehad ordered her gang rape, which subse-quently led to a jail term for Staggie.

It was reported that Oliver and Knighthad been gunned down in crossfire whilecrossing a field in Red River Road, whichwas considered to be Hard Livings territo-ry, in the early hours of 30 July 2013. Butsome members of the public believed it tobe a carefully crafted hit on Knight’s life.However, Staggie maintained that he nev-er played a role in the incident.

Oliver was shot in the head seven times,whileKnightwas shot in the face, head andneck five times. She survived the attackspending a lengthy period in hospital.

Knight, along with her mother Hazel Ja-cobus (58), were placed in witness protec-tion.

Manenberg police’s spokesperson, Lieu-tenant Ian Bennet, says the conviction andlife sentences handed down to Nortan andMack were thanks to the work put in bySergeant Jeffery Witbooi and ConstableLudvie Eksteen, detectives at Manenbergpolice station’s serious and violent crimeunit.

“A case ofmurder and attemptedmurderwas opened for investigation. An intensiveinvestigation was launched in the searchof the suspect; many interviews were con-ducted. Through perseverance and dedi-cated detective work the case saw Nortanand Mack being charged. The case has now

been finalised and there is closure for theyoung lady,” says Bennett.

He says cases of this nature show that thearm of the law may not only be a long one,but a patient one as well.

Two suspects arrested in the murder of 10-year-old Jayden Joseph Smith of Park-

wood are set to appear in court again today.Bail was denied on Friday in their first

court appearance in the Wynberg Magis-trates’ Court on charges of murder and at-tempted murder.

Meanwhile, a sombre mood has settled inParkwood as family and neighbours of Jay-den mourn his death.

Residents from the areagathered outside Jayden’shome inBlackbirdAvenueaft-er hearing the news that hehad been shot on Tuesday lastweek at about 21:00. His fatherwas also shot in the arm dur-ing theallegedgang-related in-cident.

Jayden’s heartbrokenmoth-er Chantel Boltman could notcontain her emotions as shecried, questioning the death ofher “baby boy”.

Boltman says the incidenthappened “so quick”, when two men ran in-to her home, firing shots as they entered.

“These were gangsters that were runningfrom their rivals. Asmyboy ran inside afterreturning from the shop, these guys fol-lowed him inside and theywere shooting allthe way through my house,” Boltman cries.

She recalls hearing shots ringing insideher Parkwood home, situated on the out-skirts of a tarmac netball court.

“I hit one of the men as he ran throughmy house to the toilet in an attempt to getaway from their rivals. The next moment Ijust heard my son saying ‘Mommy,’” shesays.

“He died in my arms,” Boltman cries.

Jayden was taken to hospital by anotherresident after the family saw the bulletwound in his back.

“He still called out looking for his friendImtiyaaz. Those were the last words weheard from him,” Boltman says.

The bereaved family was comforted byresidents who came to give their condolen-ces on Wednesday.

However, their messages could not con-sole the family as Boltman says she cannotimagine living without her son.

“I still cannot believe mychild is gone. He was such acheerful boy who always toldjokes. Why did it have to bemy child?” she asks.

“Why did they have to runthrough my house when theyknow I have children here?They are still alive but my boywas taken from me and that isnot fair,” she says.

Boltman says had it notbeen for her husband whograbbed for their one-year-olddaughter, they fear theymight have lost her too.

Jayden was the eldest of three children,brother to two sisters aged seven and one.

Gang shootingGrassy Park police spokesperson War-

rant Officer Wynita Kleinsmith says whenpolice responded to the shooting, they weretold that members of the Junky Funkiesganghad run into the family home, followedby two members of the American Gang.

She adds the American Gang membersopened fire on the Junky Funky members.

“In the process the father was shot in thearm and his son in the back. They wererushed by community members to the hos-pital for medical care. One Junky Funky

member (aged 21) was shot in the arm andbuttocks. He was also rushed to hospital,”Kleinsmith says.

Investigation by Grassy Park detectivesled to the arrest of a 24-year-old suspect thesame night of the shooting. A second sus-pect (aged 18) was arrested on Wednesdayat about 09:00.

‘Enough is enough’Roscoe Jacobs, convenor of the #Gang-

sterismMustFall campaign, has extendedhis sympathy to the family.

“We call on communities affected to joinus as we say enough is enough. The deathof JaydenSmith should be an eye-opener forgang-ridden communities. We have buriedtoo many innocent children as a result ofgang culture thatmanifestswithin our com-munities. The time has come for us as com-munities to unite against gangsterism,” Ja-cobs says.

He has invited residents to “join us as wedraw the line and say: ‘No more’”.

“The crisis we face needs political will tochange and we call on our communities tojoin us as we march down the Klipfonteincorridor on Saturday. We will be demand-inga collectiveandprogrammatic approachin dealing with the culture of gangsterismwithin our communities from all threespheres of government,” he says.

Themarchwill start at theManenberg po-lice station andmake itsway down theKlip-fontein corridor to the field next to the Ath-lone civic centre.

“We call on all residents in Cape Town –in particular those living in gang-riddencommunities – to join us to ensure that thelatest victim’s senseless killing is not invein. We request that marchers wearwhite,” Jacobs says.V Anyone with information on crime can call the policeon 021 700 3940 or Crime Stop on 0860 010 111.

Sanca Western Cape, which has service cen-tres in Athlone and Mitchell’s Plain, will begranted R141 000 to tackle substance abuse.It is one of eight non-profit organisations setto benefit from R2m worth of grants-in-aid.The City of Cape Town’s mayoral commit-

tee has approved the list of beneficiaries forthe social development and early childhooddevelopment directorate’s first-ever alloca-tion of grant-in-aid funding.While the City of Cape Town has a well-es-

tablished grants-in-aid policy, this is the firsttime that the directorate has participated.Among others, St John’s Fish Hoekwill re-

ceive R198 000 for life and work skills foryouth.Nicro, with its national head office in the

city centre and an office in Mitchell’s Plain,will receive R230 000 for youth awarenessprogrammes.

Suzette Little,mayoral committeememberfor social development and early childhooddevelopment, says: “Many non-profit organi-sations will attest to how difficult it is to ac-cess funding and so I am very pleased thatwewere able tomake ameaningful contribu-tion to the good work that these organisa-tions are doing. By disbursing these funds,weare also acknowledging thatweas govern-ment cannot do it alone and that we need asmany hands on deck as possible, to work to-gether as we attempt to repair our social fab-ric.”Of the 186 applications received, only 33

could be considered. The rest failed to meetthe basic requirements set out by the policy,including submitting the required documen-tation like audited financial statements orcertificates and registration and tax clear-ance certificates.

Librarian retiresafter 30 yearsThe chief librarian at the Lansdowne li-

brary retired at the end of lastweek aftermore than 30 years in a career which sawher heralded as a local hero.Julie Daniels has seen the library

through some of its toughest times, butleaves behind a proud reading legacy in thecommunity.Daniels retired as chief librarian after a

career which garnered her accolades, in-cluding being featured in a television pro-gramme on local heroes which highlightedthe library’s involvement and interactionwith children from the Flamingo Park in-formal settlement.While she enjoyed her job, it certainly

wasn’t without its challenges (such as staffshortages).But she remained committed to providing

a service to the people of Lansdowne andsurrounding areas.

Love reading, peopleDaniels says it was a love of reading that

spurred her on to become a librarian.“I love interacting with people.“Technological advances – such as the

availability of the internet to all users, so-cialmedia andhaving e-resources availableon your smartphone as a library member– have made libraries more exciting. Theseadvances are keeping us in step and rele-vant in our communities,” Daniels says.She adds she is proud of the holiday and

reading programmes offered by the library,which encourage reading.“Weneed to continue developing our chil-

dren and a love of books by enthrallingthem with the magic of storytelling,” shesays.

Pranksters and fansBeing a librarian also has its lighter mo-

ments.She recalls a daywhen a prankster locked

her in the storeroom. And holding on to afavourite book for an avid Beatles fan.“A prankster once locked me up in the

storeroom of the library and hid the keys.I could not report for my desk shift until anold lady heard me calling out for help andgot someone to let me out.“At Lansdowne there was a young man

who always asked for the same book on theBeatles.“Even when it was past its sell-by date I

didn’t dare discard it as he always camelooking for it,” Daniels recalls.She now plans to travel and get stuck into

some historical novels, but says she willmiss the patrons and colleagues who havebecome part of her library family.Belinda Walker, mayoral committee

member for community services and spe-cial projects, has applauded Daniels for heryears of service.“Librarians have become an integral part

of our communities. They are more thanjust the people who check out books andhave helped to turn our libraries into safe,educational spaces and recreational hubs.“While we are sad to see her go, we com-

mend Daniels for her dedication and wishher well on this new journey,”Walker says.

Julie Danielshas retiredas chieflibrarian atLansdownelibrary aftermore than30 years ofservice.

Hijacked carleads to big bustCHEVON BOOYSEN

@ChevonBooysen

Two men, aged 35 and 50, were arrestedfor possession of illegal firearms, pro-

hibited firearms, ammunition and stolengoods after a search at Tsessebe Road, LotusRiver on Tuesday last week.

Police dockets were also among the goodsfound at the premises.

Grassy Park police spokesperson War-rant Officer Wynita Kleinsmith says mem-bers of the Maitland flying squad respondedon a tracker call on Tuesday just after noon.

A grey Volkswagen car had been reportedas hijacked in the Lansdowne area earlierthat day.

“This tracker led the members to a resi-dence in Lotus River where the membersfound the hijacked car in the process of be-ing stripped. Further investigation led tomore stolen parts being recovered at theresidence,” Kleinsmith says.

Inside the residence three different typesof firearms were retrieved. One serial num-ber had been filed off.

They also found two police and one khakibulletproof vests, different types of ammu-nition, magazines, scanners, a barrel of ashotgun and the silencer of a firearm.

“Two vehicles and a motorbike found onthe property were handed in to the nationalpolice to establish if it could possibly be sto-len,” Kleinsmith adds.

The suspects were due to appear in courton the related charges on Thursday.

Rumours that did the rounds on socialmedia about a body being found at the prem-ises were dismissed by Kleinsmith as un-true.

Claims that goods were found in an un-

derground bunker at the home were alsodismissed as inaccurate.

“We can confirm that [after receivingyour enquiry] myself and the station com-mander and other members went to thehouse and no underground tunnel wasfound. We are not aware of any businessthat might have been run from that premis-es,” Kleinsmith says.

The investigation will continue and allpossible leads will be followed up, assuresKleinsmith.V Anyone with information on crime can call the po-lice on 021 700 3940 or Crime Stop on 0860 010 111.All information will be treated as highly confidential.

Where there’s smoke, there’s pollution,says the City of Cape Town.

As part of its efforts to curb air pollution,the City’s health directorate appeals to thepublic to report excessive smokeemissionsin cars.Cars are the biggest source of air pollu-

tion in Cape Town, accounting for up totwo-thirds of the visible portion of air pol-lution.The directorate has an air quality man-

agement unit that is tasked with enforcingthe provisions of the air quality manage-ment by-law. The by-law prohibits the use

of vehicles that emit dark smoke.Where such vehicles are spotted by the

public, the owners are requested to get afree emissions test. Should the vehicle failthe test, a repair notice will be served onthe owner, affording him the opportunityto have the vehicle repaired and to submitit for a re-test. Non-compliance can resultin the owner getting a summons.

Expensive smokeThe by-law also states that vehicles emit-

ting dark smokemay be towed away – withthe bill going to the owners. Any person

who is guilty of an offence in terms of theby-law may face a jail sentence of up to 30days or a fine or both.In addition, a dedicated team conducts

roadside emissions testing on diesel vehi-cles onadailybasis inpartnershipwith theCity’s traffic service.In the second half of last year, just under

4000 diesel vehicles were tested, with a to-tal of 14 failing to meet the diesel emissionstandards, says Siyabulela Mamkeli, may-oral committee member for health.“That’s less than half a percent, com-

pared with the 17% failure rate when the

City first starteddoing thediesel emissionstest in 2000. I think the substantial drop canbe attributed to visible policing, improve-ment in the quality of diesel, continual im-provement in emissions control technolo-gy of the modern diesel engine and vehicleowners improving on maintaining theirvehicles,” he says.V The public can report excessive smoke from vehi-cles to the City’s air quality management unit on021 590 5200 during office hours. The complaintmust include the registration number of the vehicle,its make and model, the location and direction oftravel and the date and time of the observation.

High School celebrates 60thEARL HAUPT

@Earl Haupt

Belgravia High School celebrat-ed its 60th anniversary during

a special ceremony held at theschool on Tuesday last week.

Various personalities associatedwith the school attended the event,where current pupils were privi-leged to capture a glimpse of theirschool’s rich history.

Established on 21 January 1957at the old Alexander Sinton build-ing (now Ned Doman High School)in Buckley Road under the guise ofAthlone Secondary School No. 2,Belgravia High formed one of thearea’s bastions during the struggleagainst the apartheid regime.

Only in August did BelgraviaHigh actually obtain its name, fol-lowing the school’s move to the sitewhere it exists today.

Over the years, the school hasseen nine principals lead the way.

Current principal André Buishas been a teacher at the schoolsince 1980 and became its principalin 2011.

At the special ceremony he ap-plauded the scores of former pupilswho have returned to etch theirnames into the school’s legacy,while reminiscing about pastachievements.

“During the 70s and 80s, theschool really excelled, not just aca-demically, but also in sports. It be-came a community school duringthe 1976 student uprising. Belgra-via was central to students makingthemselves heard against the sys-tem of the time.

“Interestingly enough, during

those years, we achieved successesin sport such as track and field.”

Buis spoke glowingly of one ofthe school’s academic leaders, ProfJohn Volmink, a former pupil him-self, who regularly returns to addinsight and provide encourage-ment to the current crop of Belgra-vians.

“Pupils got a chance to see quitea bit of history of the school onTuesday through the presenta-

tions given, so that they have a bet-ter understanding of the heritagethe school has,” Buis says.

Astrid van Kesteren (néé Febru-ary) went on to become one of theschool and area’s shining lights bygoing on to represent South Africain both soccer as well as softball.

“Attending Belgravia HighSchool has been one of the most re-warding experiences in my life,”she says.

“I would definitely go back to re-live those moments all over again.Thanks to all the teachers whohave educated me as well ascoached me to be the greatestsportswoman I can be. The school’spositivity has definitely rubbed offon me to carry on being positiveand successful in life, which showsin my family, work and sports ca-reer. I wish the school all the bestfor the future.”

Belgravia resident and anotherformer pupil, Remo Andrews, hasalso paid tribute to the role theschool played in his life.

“I learnt the value of hard workat Belgravia. I recall regular les-sons about our potential to be anddo whatever we wanted if we putin the work. Most importantly,they made me aware of what realhardworkmeant. Tohave teacherswho care about you as a person asopposed to just a student shapedwho I am today.”

Andrews says the school hasbeen at the centre of the communi-ty over the years and has providedits residents with a sense of pride.

Meanwhile, Buis says he en-trusts the current generation tocarry the school’s legacy to greaterheights.

“We envisage Belgravia becom-ing a school where there is a highemphasis on Maths and Science.We are a maths and science-fo-cused school, but we envisage tohave all our pupils do Physics andMaths, so that one can be relevantto the elite of the country.

“We are grateful that we havereached this milestone and we justwant to celebrate all those whocame before us and their effortsand their achievements. Those arethings that we need to cherish andshow the younger ones the valuesthat we stand for.

“The pupils need to take the op-portunities they have, which ismore than those who went beforethem, who have had fewer opportu-nities and still excelled. So there isno excuse for this generation not totake the baton and run with it.”

Current and former pupils attended a special ceremony to celebrate Belgravia High School’s 60th anniversary lastweek. Pictured here are two former pupils of Belgravia High who are now teachers at the school at the ceremonyheld at the school. Headley King and Zain Lamara light the candles to signify the start of the anniversary celebra­tions.

French multi-instrumentalist. This is theninth release from the musician who aimsto create a newbody ofwork for his solo stu-dio project each year.Working in his own studio gives Mr Kito

a rare opportunity to approach the song-writing process from a different angle thanmost.“I don’t really sit down and conceptualise

anything,” he explains. “I basically pick upan instrument I feel like playing, pressrecord and do a take.”If he likes the take, it will become a layer

of a song. If not, he’ll go on to thenext instru-ment, before eventually singing along to it.Mr Kito takes his name from his young

son’smispronunciation of “mosquito”. Giv-ing his solo project a name other than hisown helped Eric create something thatwasn’t wrapped up in his identity, whichhelps ensure that his ego doesn’t get in theway of his music, he says.“The identification of self with the things

we do often stands in theway of happiness.”Eric has played with many bands during

his time inSouthAfrica and is currently thebassist for the Simon van Gend Band, whowill be launching their new album thismonth.He says he simply never got round to put-

ting aband together forMrKito, but fornowhe likes being able to have a project wherehe canworkat his ownpace andbe creative-ly involved with all the instruments.Mr Kito is also a way for Eric to share his

message of “conscious awareness”.“Beaware of your egoand realise that you

are not your identity,” are two lessons he

finds are not a priority for many of the peo-ple he knows.Eric points out that being free of one’s self

creates an environment for “freedom, hap-piness and well-being”. He believes thismessage will help the human race moveaway from the current society of hate andgreed.

ObserverEric’s own journey of self-awareness

came from being observant of social behav-iour and his own thought patterns.“Everything that we do is a starting point

– where we are is the opening to becomeaware.”He believes that every person comes to a

point where they are aware of their selves,but these moments are soon clouded bythoughts like “When will I get the next paycheque?”The key, he says, is to be more aware of

our thoughts and sit with them, instead ofmoving on. The more time one spends inthis conscious space, the more comfortableyou will become and the more you can sus-tain it.“Once the door to enlightenment is open,

it doesn’t close.”While Eric has always played alternative,

rock and indie music, his journey has evenseen himdo a short stint in the dance genre.His work as a pastry chef brought him to

South Africa. He opened his own bakerywith friends in Cape Town. After selling thebusiness, Eric took the time to focus on hismusic again.When asked why he stayed, Eric smiles

and says: “Look around.”“I find there are opportunities, space and

lots of freedom. It’s a country that’s in devel-opment.”V Locals can catch Eric in action with the Simon vanGend Band when they release their new album atDeer Park Café in Vredehoek on Saturday 13 Februaryat 16:00.

Commemorate District SixTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

After a meeting with land claimant mem-bers at Blackpool Hall in Salt River, the Dis-trict Six Working Committee (D6WC) saysit is moving forward with its plans to shakeup urban land reform in Cape Town.Towards the end of last year the commit-

tee promised that this year it would getthings moving since members feel theyhave waited too long to get their land back(“Claimants promise to ‘rock the boat’”,People’s Post, 15 December 2015).Nearly 1000 people turnedup for themeet-

ing, including a number of civic organisa-tions and claimant communities fromClaremont, Simon’s Town, Wynberg, Nda-beni, Strand and Goodwood.Shahied Ajam, chairperson of the D6WC,

says all developments inDistrict Six shouldbe stopped temporarily until all the rele-vant stakeholders have been properly con-sulted. He also wants comprehensive solu-tions for compensation packages and alter-native land be found.“We will explore a number of legal ave-

nues to take on the local land claims com-mission, as well as local and national gov-ernment to ensure that every claimant istreated fairly. We also want the departmentof rural development and land reform to in-vestigate alleged claims of corruption with-in the department and in the land claimscommission,” he says.D6WC encourages people to visit District

Six on 11 February to commemorate the50th anniversary of the day (11 February1966)whenDistrict Sixwasdeclaredawhitearea. Ajam says people can come from 10:00and hold vigil with placards and boards de-picting the name of the area and streetwhere they previously lived.Every year the District Six Museum and

a group of former residents lay rocks at amemorial site on what was previously Han-over Street.“Having all ex-residents and their de-

scendants come to the site will demonstratethe devastating impact of apartheid’s un-just laws and will send a clear message togovernment that we are not going any-where until we get true restitution,” Ajamsays.

Land claimants attended a meeting recently to hear the plans of the District Six WorkingCommittee. A special commemoration day will be held in District Six on 11 February.

Your car can now be seized if youare suspected of illegal dumping.The City of Cape Town’s law en-

forcement agencies will soon be ableto seize, without a warrant, a car thatis suspected of being involved with il-legal dumping.The amendment to a by-law was re-

cently approvedby theCity’smayoralcommittee and should be further ap-proved by the council later this week.The impounded car will only be re-

leased under the following scenarios:. If a criminal charge is not laid orno fine is issuedwithin 48 hours of itsseizure.. If the criminal charges against thesuspect are withdrawn.. If the individual has been acquittedof the charge.A court may even declare that such

a car be forfeited to the state.People’s Post reported last week

that a section of the Blomvlei canalwhich flows past the Vygieskraal in-formal settlement was heavily pollut-ed as a result of illegal dumping,which broughtwith it a health risk forresidents (“City to unmask stench”,26 January).People found guilty of using their

cars for illegal dumping will need topay a tariff for its release.An illegal dumper will have to fork out

R7500 to have his car released for the firstoffence, R10 000 for the second and R15 000for the third and every time thereafter.“The City spends about R350m annually

in its efforts to keep pace with the volumesof illegally dumped waste that appearacross Cape Town,” says Ernest Sonnen-berg, mayoral committee member for utili-

ty services.“Illegal dumpers across the city are play-

ing their part in depriving communities ofservices and infrastructure that could beput in place with that amount of money,such as sports facilities or social welfareprogrammes.”V Illegal dumping can be reported to the City’s callcentre on 0860 103 089.

Water-wise tipsAs water is a precious resource, it is vitally important to

have a flexible watering schedule that adjusts to changingweather conditions. Installing a fully automated wateringsystem is the answer – itwill help savewater aswell asmoney.

The advantages are that such as system is fully controllableand flexible, so it can be changed at any stage to suit weatherconditions and watering restrictions.

Water at the right time. Choosing to water at the correct time of day will ensurethat you reduce evaporation. Watering either early in themorning (before 09:00) or evening (after 18:00) will minimisethe chance of mildew infections related to a drop in tempera-ture and damp conditions. Your automated irrigation systemcan be set to go off before dawn when evaporation rates areat their lowest.. Water less often in cooler weather and water slightly morefrequently and for longer periods in hot weather, taking thecurrent watering restrictions into account.. Don’t water on windy days when the evaporation rates areat their highest.. Turn automatic irrigation systems off when it has rainedfor a couple of days – but don’t forget about the plants thatare under shelter or in the overhang of a roof.

Water deeply but frequentlyWhen the soil has been watered for longer periods of time,

the roots grow in a downward motion towards the moisturedeeper in the soil. This enables the plants to grow better andsurvive for longer periods without water.

Allow water to reach a depth of 20cm for finer root systemplants, such as lawns, vegetables and herbs, and about 60-90cm for plants with a more robust root system, such as treesand shrubs.

Water-wise tipsRun-offwater is consideredwastedwater, so avoid applying

water faster than the plant can absorb it. Better absorptioncan be created:. Make basins around trees and shrubs.. On sloping ground make terraces or pockets to hold water.. Water clay soils lightly, as the soil is more compact andabsorbs water at a slower rate.. Clay soils retain more water, so less frequent watering isessential.. Sandy soils absorb water quickly, so water at a faster rate.. Sweep paved pathways rather than using water to spraydirt away.. When you wash your car use a bucket of water instead ofa hosepipe.V This column was contributed by Stodels.

Cops can bringdrunks to bookIn response to Brian Hoare’sletter (“Cops can’t judge drunkdrivers”, People’s Post, 26January): First of all, I wouldlike to correct Hoare on hisinability to read statistics.

Statistics show that speed, aswell as drunk driving, are thehighest causes of road accidentsin South Africa. We are notlooking at American statistics,we must look at the SouthAfrican statistics.

He obviously has not readthose statistics or watched TVto find out these basic statistics.

As an ex-cop I can tell youright away that you don’t needto have blood tests – those werebrought in to “concrete” theoffence of driving under theinfluence of alcohol.

Drunk driving is an offencethat can be affected merely bygetting the person to blow onan alcometer. If the personblows on the alcometer, and thealcometer has been tested andverified by SABS (which it hasbeen before they go out ontothe road), on this alone you canhave a person arrested for adrunk driving offence.

Drunk driving and drivingunder the influence of alcoholor drugs are two different andseparate offences.

Obviously, Hoare does notknow the law correctly.

Furthermore, the statisticsactually show that one is morelikely to be killed by a drunkdriver than a sober one.

Please get your facts straightbefore going to the newspaperin order to make a representa-tion about something you knowlittle of.

And finally, you do not waitfor an accident to happen inorder to prove that the personwas drunk; a law enforcementofficer must in the carrying outof his duties be seen to bepreventing the accidents orcollisions before they happen.

Therefore, traffic law enforce-ment officers have the full rightgiven to them by the state to beable to make a refined decisionbased on the training and theauthority of the state.

It is people like you who arethe real problem.

Find tasty, local food in the cracksNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Between the cracks of pavements, nestledup against neighbourhood walls and

even tucked between railway lines – food canbe found almost everywhere.

This is the message Loubie Rusch teaches,as she shows Capetonians how to eat plantsthey may never have heard of.

Rusch has made it her life’s work to edu-cate others on indigenous plants that can befound almost everywhere.

A landscape designer, Rusch has alwaysencouraged her clients to use local indige-nous planting. But for the last several years,she has combined her love of food and indig-

enous plants, exploring contemporary waysof using many of our indigenous food plantingredients.

“When I was seven or eight years old wewent to visit family friends and I rememberpicking wild fruits which they then cookeda delicious meal with. It ignited a spark inme,” she says.

With an archaeologist as a stepfather,Rusch was always aware of the Cape as aplace that had sustained locals through for-aging. Finding them in the cracks of ourbuilt-up environment provides a special linkto nature, Rusch believes.

Most of Rusch’s ingredients she foragesfor in the urban landscape, as virtually noneare commercially grown.

“Foraging for indigenous plants links youto the place you live. It makes you a bettercustodian of the earth.”

Rusch now offers talks and walks in whichshe educates locals about indigenous foodplants and where they can be found in theurban landscape.

“We eat fewer and fewer things and theamount of crops we grow are becoming less.This equals a loss in biodiversity and knowl-edge. I’m trying to reverse that and createan interest in looking after a diversity offood plants,” she says.

She believes that indigenous plant foodknowledge is increasingly being lost, but al-so understands that foraging is not sustaina-ble to support many mouths.

This has motivated Rusch to promote anindigenous food growing culture.

These plants are adapted to our soil andclimate, and a number of them already growin the average garden, Rusch says.

She now encourages gardeners to growwild garlic, rosemary and sage, sour fig andkei apples at home.

“So many gardeners are already growingthese plants but just don’t realise they caneat them,” she says.

Rusch is currently involved in getting in-digenous food gardens as well as food farm-ing pilot projects under way.

“I hope to inspire as many people as possi-ble with the idea that indigenous plants areedible and delicious,” she says.

Two pitchers of Athlone A’s, Carl Mich-aels and Lloyd Stevens, are packingtheir bags to join the rest of the South

African baseball team at the World BaseballClassic qualifiers in Sydney from 11 to 14February.

Carl MichaelsMichaels (34) is no stranger to internation-

al baseball, having representedSouthAfricain numerous international tournaments inthe past. His first taste of senior internation-al baseball was at the All Africa Games inJohannesburg in 1999. He was then selectedfor the summer Olympic Games in Sydneyin 2000.In 2001, Michaels was signed by American

Major League Baseball (MLB) franchise theMilwaukee Brewers. He played in the Mil-waukee organisation for three years.Michaels was the starting pitcher when

South Africa played its opening gameagainst Canada at the 2006 inaugural WorldBaseball Classic in Arizona.The highlight of his international career

was pitching for South Africa against the

United States during that tournament.There, he pitted his talents against currentMLB Hall of Fame inductee Ken Griffey Jnras well as future Hall of Fame players likeDerek Jeter, Chipper Jones and Roger Clem-ens, who were all in the US line-up.Michaels was also involved in a 1-2 loss to

Korea in 2005 where he pitched 13 innings– the most pitched by a South African pitch-er in a game.

Lloyd StevensStevens (27) will be making his debut tour

with the South African team after previous-ly attending a national training camp in2011. Stevens’ selection is good reward forhis efforts over the last few seasons.Stevens also captained the South African

men’s softball team in 2010.

Local pitchers in World Classic

Carl Michaels will once again don the SouthAfrican uniform when the national baseballteam play in the World Baseball Classicqualifiers in Sydney next week.
