A number of beneficiaries of the Heidev-eld housing project can expect to moveinto their new homes shortly after

Easter.This is according to Anthony Moses, ward

44’s councillor, following the signing of titledeeds for the first 30 houses over the week-end.

The housing project, which has been a bitof a saga over a number of years, has seena dramatic improvement as the currentnumber of structures built to roof heightstands at 120 houses after construction start-ed in earnest in August last year.

Delays in the tender process and repeateddisruptions at the site office hindered con-struction, but following a court interdictagainst protesting community members,construction gathered pace.

Now the electrical contractor has beenputting the finishing touches to the powergrid for the first group of houses.

Moses says the more than 90 beneficiariesattended training to clue them up on how tomanage their households once they move in,as a number of beneficiaries have neverowned a house before.

“The signing of the consumer educationagreement in terms of the water manage-ment device, as well as the rates and all ofthose things, [have taken place].”

He aims to avoid the controversy whichhas taken the shine off the Kewtown housingproject, which saw residents move into theirhomes last year without an official handing-over ceremony, while complaints about al-legedly shoddy construction work werebrought to light.

“We do not want the assumptions thatwere made with the Kewtown housingproject,” says Moses.

He says he will make sure that, shouldthere be any snags, he will have them sortedout at least a week before the time and thatcompliancy certificates will have to be is-sued before he allows the subcouncil to visitthe completed site.

Moses will then perform one final check,

which will include the beneficiary and theinspector. They will check each house to-gether to ensure that both parties are satis-fied before the keys are handed over.

“I know what is expected and know whatneeds to be in place. People cannot just tellme that they want to move people in becauseof [fear of] vandalism and then the contrac-tor gets away with murder. For me, I will notallow it and I would rather stop people frommoving in than give them a half-doneproject,” Moses adds.

“We are dealing with people’s lives andlivelihoods and it affects their whole familyand households, so we cannot afford thatthings go wrong, so I will rather make surethat everything is in place.”

After spending 36 years in the police, Brig-adier Riaan Booysen says it’s time to

make way.Booysen has been the commander ofWyn-

berg police station for the past four years.He is taking early retirement, as he believesit’s time to give new blood the opportunityto lead.He says it’s time to concentrate on other

things, as he has done his work over theyears.Born in Philippi, he matriculated from

Zwaanswyk High School in Retreat in 1978.He becamea soldier andunderwentmilitarytraining at Kimberly Infantry School in Pre-toria. Thereafter he worked in several de-partments, including the department oftransport. That’s where he got a transfer tothe police in 1983. He started his police ca-reer at Wynberg police station.He was later transferred to Claremont

where he became a detective in 1985.Booysen says Wynberg holds a special

place in his heart, because it’s where his ca-reer as a police officer took off and where itended. He was also baptised at the Dutch Re-formed Church which is a few metres awayfrom the police station. He met his wife of33 years, Judith, at the church.Starting out as a young detective he was

worried whether he would know the differ-ence betweenmurder and death due to a nat-ural cause.“I was wondering if I would be able to dis-

tinguish the two. Fortunately, I had the besttrainers, very experienced people, and theymade everything very easy. This was mydream. Iwasvery excited, but themost excit-ing part of the job was walking out of the

courtroomknowing you have secured a con-viction. It gives a sense of fulfilment and be-ing able to go back to the community and saythis is what you can do,” he says.As a detective Booysen has had an excit-

ing career. He has worked on high-profilecases, like police killings, several Pagadmurder cases and explosives cases, theGold-en Arrow bus killings and the murder ofMarike deKlerk, ex-wife of former presidentFW de Klerk. He also helped in the Sizzlermurders case in Sea Point and worked onseveral armed robberies and rape cases inwhich international tourists were the vic-tims.He was the detective commander at police

stations in Manenberg, Nyanga, GrassyPark, Gugulethu, Diep River and Athlone,where he had to deal with inquest and mur-der cases. He and his team dealt with 1600murder and inquest cases fromKhayelitsha,Gugulethu, Nyanga and Langa in a year.He was also appointed as a police diver

and had to recover several corpses and pie-ces of evidence.In 2000 he became the provincial com-

mander of serious andviolent crimes,wherehe led units like urban terror, murder, rob-bery, gangs, taxi violence, firearms and thechild protection unit.In 2006 he was appointed the Woodstock

cluster commander and later that year hetook responsibility for the Cape Town clus-ter. He was also the station commander atStrand police station before heading back toWynberg police station as its commander in2012.“There comes a point in your life where

you feel you have done it all and there isnothing more to achieve. It’s now time togive the new generation an opportunity totake over. I leave the station happy because

I know they are a good teamwho are alwayswilling to help and serve the community,”he says.Though he is a man of vast experience, he

attributes all his success to teamwork.“There are people who work tirelessly be-

hind the scenes and theymakework easy foryou.Without them Iwouldn’t have achievedthe things I achieved. What is really impor-tant is to work as a team and a team isas strong as its weakest link. Whensomeone is lagging behind thingswon’t work. With the cases thatI worked with, chain evidencewas vital, althoughone investigatorwould have to see ahigh-profile casethrough court.Having everyone onthe same level wasof utmost impor-tance as you can’t doeverything alone.”Angie Latch-

man, Wynberg po-licing clusterspokesperson,says Booysen isknown as a hands-on commandingofficer who led byexample.“He has been a good mentor to all of us.

Many look up to him for knowledge. He hasgreat insight and he does things by the book;he is a disciplinarian. It’s sad that he is leav-ing us butwith the same breathwewish himwell. He has been with his family in blue forover three decades; nowhehas to spend timewith his immediate family. Like they say,once a policeman always a policeman; he

will be looking over us. We salute him forwhat he has done,” she says.Riaan and Judith Booysen have two sons

and two grandchildren.He says it’s time to focus on his business.

FromJulyhewill practise inhis owncompa-ny, Riaan Booysen Polygraph and PrivateInvestigation, where readers can contacthim on 074 203 6658.

Health officials are remindingresidents to look after their eyesahead of World Glaucoma Week,observed worldwide from 8 to 14March.Glaucoma is a group of eye dis-

eases that cause progressivedamage of the optic nerve.If left untreated, most types of

glaucoma get worse – withoutwarning or obvious symptoms –gradually doing damage to eye-sight, which may lead to blind-ness.Thevisual damage ismostly ir-

reversible, and this has led toglaucoma being described as the“blinding disease” or “the sneakthief of sight”. Glaucoma is the

second most common cause ofblindness worldwide.There are several types of glau-

coma.Somemay occur as a complica-

tion of other visual disorders,but the vast majority are catego-rised as primary instances,meaning they occur without aknown cause.It was once believed that the

cause of most or all glaucomaswas high pressure within theeye. These days such pressure isconsidered a “risk factor” forglaucoma, together with otherfactors such as racial ancestry,family history, high myopia andage.

In most cases glaucoma ap-pears equally among men andwomen after the age of 40.There is no cure for glaucoma

as yet.However, medication or sur-

gery (traditional or laser) canhalt or slow down any further vi-sion loss. Therefore, early detec-tion is essential to limiting visu-al impairment and preventingthe progression towards visualhandicap or blindness. Eyecareprofessionals can detect glauco-ma.V For more information visitwww.sags.com. For free testing duringWorld Glaucoma Week call021 426 2200.

Community members of Manenberg arestanding up to what they feel are unjus-

tified accusations.This follows reports inPeople’sPostover

the last twoweeks inwhich police have ac-cused community members of attackingthem while they were trying to arrest sus-pects.Roegshanda Pascoe, Manenberg Safety

Forum’s chairperson, says that althoughshe commends thewillingness of the po-lice to help the com-munity, their rela-tionship still needsfostering.She also dismisses

earlier media reportssuggesting that somecommunity membershave been racist to-wards police officers.“I am still disturbed

about thenews reports thatwent out aboutManenberg people who are said to be rac-ist,” says Pascoe.She says the community has lost confi-

dence in the police and people are fearfulof coming forward with information relat-ing to crimes, based on the way they havebeen treated in the past.“You tell me who is in the firing line at

the end of the day? Is it not these communi-ty members who are putting their lives onthe line? For me, the police made thesebold statements about the people of Ma-nenberg who don’t want to work withthem and are attacking them, but whenpeople do [workwith police], they then areput in danger,” she says.Meanwhile, Lieutenant Ian Bennett,

Manenberg police spokesperson, main-tains that community members are notmaking thepolice’s jobs easier byallowinggang members, who are community mem-bers themselves, to keep attacking policeofficers while they perform their duties.“The community openly attacks the po-

lice to protect the gangsters. There is noother way of putting it,” says Bennett.He saysbothparties are toblame for gen-

eralising the behaviour of a few individu-als.“Not all the community members are

throwing stones, but then they get upsetwhen we say community members arethrowing stones. In the same breath, thecommunity can thennot generalise the po-lice and say that all of us are corrupt andcannot be trusted.”

However, he goes on to say that educationin the community will play a vital role onthe road to recovery.“Our communities are trapped in poverty,

not just financial poverty. We are looking atspiritual poverty, we are looking at mentalpoverty and educational poverty and thisdefinitely leads to the mentality of ‘it’s notmy job, it is your job’. That is what the com-munity tells us – that we get paid to do it.The other thing that gets thrown in our facesis that they say: ‘We pay your wages, so youneed to do the work.’ But it is not about that,

it is about each commu-nity member.“For instance, you

have the cleansing de-partment which is sup-posed to beautify thearea, but because peo-ple keep on dumpingtheir dirt in placeswhere it creates a totalmess of things, [thecleansing department]ends up just working

oncomplaints anddon’t havea chanceor thetime to actually beautify. We need to changethe mentality of ‘this is not my work’. It isour duty to keep the place clean so thatwhenthe council comes through, they can beauti-fy the area and that will maybe lead to achange in the area,” he says.Pascoe also adds that a stronger dialogue

and community involvement is imperativeif the two parties are to work together toquell the recent flare-up in violence in thearea.“I told them personally, let me come and

sit with themapwith you and I will map outManenberg for you and I will show youwhere and what is happening. I will even goas far as to say who is who in the zoo, so thatthe police stop running around like headlesschickens, because otherwise we are not go-ing to be effective together.We are not goingto stop anything.”

A diamond anniversary, but they still feelvery young.This is the story of Rashad and Fatima

Harrison, who celebrated their 60th wed-ding anniversary on Friday.The couple says they “didn’t feel the

years”.“I couldn’t believe it when we said this

year we will be married 60 years. For meit still feels like we are only together 35years,” chuckles Rashad.Their love story started in 1952whenRa-

shad met Fatima at her family home.“I worked at a shipping company that

wasbased inStrandStreet andwouldoftenpop over to this one place for lunch. Oneday when I was there I met this lady whowas very good looking. The lady in theshop must have seen me and said: ‘Hey,don’t fall in lovewith this lady. She ismar-ried.’ This lady was in fact Fatima’s eldestsister,” Rashad recalls.Animatedly, he explains that Fatima’s

sister then said: “I do have a sister.”“Her sister then invited me to their

home. This is where I met Fatima and Istill feel the way I felt that day when I mether,” he says.Fatima recalls they courted for about a

year before they became engaged.“When he proposed I was 18 andwemar-

ried two years later. He was 23 when wegot married. Since we got married he hastaken really good care, of me,” Fatimasays.The two lived in Strandfontein for about

30 years before settling in a quaint place“ideal for just the two of us” in Ottery.Asked what their secret is to keep their

marriage going for so long, he says they“do everything together”.“When we do things, we do it together.

It is so sad to see couples who give up soeasily on their marriages in today’s age.”The couple have three children, all of

whom are now also married.TheHarrisonshave eight grandchildren

and 10 great-grandchildren. Their young-est great-grandchild was born on their an-niversary on Friday.

Postman keepson walkingGARY VAN DYK

@gvdcapejazz

Yesterday marked a special day for post-man Mogamat Jassiem – after 42 years

facing the steep streets of Vredehoek he wasfinished with his post run.

While the post office acknowledged 40years’ service with a party at the central de-pot in the city, this Woodstock resident in-sists it has been 42 years.

“I should know, I did the time,” he laughs.This dedicated postman prides himself on

always getting the post to the right address-es.

Originally from Retreat, he attended StPaul’s Primary in the Bo-Kaap. He had toleave in Grade 7 to start working in the fam-ily.

“It was tough times, but I wanted to do itand started working in the mail room intown, but knew that delivering the mail waswhat I wanted to do.

“Eventually I was given the chance to doit and here I am 42 years later facing retire-ment.”

Talking about his experiences he feelsthat he’s never had a bad moment with hiscustomers.

“I always took pride in what I was doingand got to know so many people on myrounds.

“Always treat people with respect andthey will respond in the same way.”

Jassiem also explained that throughouthis career he used to walk his route.

“I did not use a bicycle; these hills are toosteep in this area, but the walking led meto my hobby of running and race walking.

“For the past few years I belong to a clubso take part in every race possible in distan-ces ranging from 21km to full marathons.”

He also feels the electronic age has affect-ed his work by making it slightly easier.

“Yes, there is not so much mail nowadaysand the load is lighter, but there is still mailthat must be delivered.

“I don’t mind it so much, because I wasnot getting any younger and the age ofChristmas cards also had its problemswhen you had so many bags.”

What are his plans for retirement?“More running, and maybe sleeping a bit

later,” he laughs.

Postman Mogamat Jassiem from Woodstockgets a fond farewell from Table Mountainduring one of his last rounds on the streetsof Vredehoek. He retired yesterday after 42years.

CatholicWelfare andDevelopment (CWD)has called on the public to continue to in-volve themselves in their programmes.

The CWD, now it its 46th year, operatesprimarily in theWestern Cape and workswith marginalised communities in CapeTownsuchasGugulethu, SamoraMachel,Khayelitsha, Phillippi, Masiphumelele,Delft, Tafelsig, Bo-Kaap, Atlantis and Ma-nenburg. The organisation primarily fo-cuses its interventions in communitiesthat facemultiple levels of socio-economicchallenges such as poverty, unemploy-ment, domestic and drug abuse, gangster-ism, child neglect, xenophobia, poorhealth and nutrition and very limited in-frastructure.

“It provides that platform and opportu-nity to explore, learn and reflect aboutmaking better choices for themselves asthey aspire to attain their dreamswith in-creased confidence. People learn valuablelife skills through the participation inspiritual drama productions, songs andcultural games to boost their self-esteemand improve their mental health,” saysKaren Pillay, CWD’s marketing and fun-draising manager.

CWD’s interventions aim to representtangible efforts to seeking solutions tovarious problems that prevail in impover-ished communites, as it contributes to thewell-being, social development and stabil-ity of all in the communities that it serves.Some of the activities at the centre in-clude yoga classes, information and ad-vice centres, music schools as well as li-braries and coffee shops.

The yoga classes are open to the publicand takes place every Saturday morningfrom 09:30 to 10:30 at 146 Lawrence Road.The yoga instructor is Roseline Nyman.She says that the sessions are her way of“paying it forward” to the very communi-ty she came from. There is a nominalcharge of R10 per session.

CWD also provides an information andadvice centre which offers general adviceon labour issues and is facilitated by EionBrown, an attorney by profession who is

volunteering his time every Monday,Wednesday and Friday from 09:00 - 14:00.Themusic school inAthlone offers guitar,bass, piano and recorder classes and costsR200 per month.CWD’s vision “aims to unleash the po-

tential of individuals and communities tobecome self-reliant” and the organisa-tion’sworkwith youth reinforces the con-cept that arts and cultural interventionsresults in life changing impact for youth.“The mission of the organisation is to

promote an integrated and inclusive ap-proach that recognises human dignity inaccordance with the social teachings ofthe Catholic Church. It strives to contrib-ute towards the eradication of povertyand human development through part-nerships with communities and otherstakeholders,” says Pillay.V For more information contact Julia on021 425 2095 or André at Athlone CDC on021 696 9253 or visit their Facebook page www.fa­cebook.com/catholicwelfareanddevelopment orwebsite www.cwd.org.za

CAPE TOWN CARNIVAL

Whatever floatsyour boat hereGARY VAN DYK

@gvdcapejazz

Visiting the Maitland workshop wherethe floats and paraphernalia are being

made for the Cape Town Carnival is an ex-citing experience.

At first glance it seemsas if you’vewalkedonto the set of some futuristic science-fic-tion film with grinders setting off sparks inall directions from, at times, garish crea-tions. Hammering rings through the airfrom all corners of the property. And thenyou realise that this is where the festival isreally “made”.

On Saturday 12 March the public will ex-perience the glamorous and glittering pa-rade on the Fan Walk in Green Point, butlast week themedia got to see themore seri-ous side of how it all gets put together at aworkshop in Maitland.Shaam Stringer is a fabric artist from

Ocean View who has been part of the festi-val for six years.

In front of him streamers are starting toform a fantastic flower (or is it a face?) amidan array of wires. He assures me it will allmake sense on the day.

“It’s beenawonderful experience forme,”he says. “I got involved througha friendandnow it is an important part of my life.

“When I watch the parade and hear howpeople cheer for what I am part of creating– thatmakesme the proudest. And of courseit’s so much fun!”

The carnival also attracts attention fromoverseas, with, for instance, carnival artistYasminLong fromtheUnitedKingdomadd-ing touches.She is an intern from Brouhaha Interna-

tional in Liverpool where she is studyingvarious aspects of carnival production.“This has been an exciting time for me to

experiencehowpeople are excitedabout theevent and all the communities that are in-volved.“I can’twait to experience the eventwhen

it takes place on 12 March.”

Small launch forbig soundsLOUISA STEYL

@LouNotes

They say dynamite comes in small packa-ges and Leelia Jay is proving just that.The pint-sized singer will be launchinghermusic video for her track “Whind it low”at Club Galaxy in Rylands next week.This isn’t her first foray into the local hip-hop scene.Like many artists, Leelia grew up sur-rounded by music. Her father used to prac-tise with his band in their lounge when shewas four.“He even bought this little keyboard andput stickers on so I can know what’s what.”She discovered her voice in high school,at Windsor High School, which is where shemet her best friend “to this day”, Ilse Davis.The two started a girl group called Illusionand performed popular covers at carnivalsand events all over Cape Town throughouttheir high school career.After school, Leelia initially tried to keep

away from the music industry, pursuingstudies in Hotel Management instead. Butthe people she met in the hospitality indus-try steered her back to her first love.Leelia started her music career workingwith the late legendaryMischief in 2009. Shemet the rapper through a friendwhile study-ing atCapeAudioCollege, andonceheheardher “stuff”, Mischief invited her to join hiscrew the Hunchmen.“That’s kind of where I started to come in-to this whole hip-hop game; I guess I justcaught a bit of that fever.“Mischief basically taught me how towrite and come into my own style and flowof things,” Leelia continues.Fast forward a few years and she’s almostdone recording her – still untitled – debutalbum, which she plans to release in April.The album contains everything from RnBand dance tracks to proper hip-hop and evena ballad.“I want everybody to have a favourite onthe album.”“Whind it low” is the first single off thealbum. Leelia released it late last year andit’s already been playlisted on stations likeBush Radio.Leelia describes her sound as “a bit of aRihanna vibe”. While she does also rap,there’s a little more singing in her music.“If you listen tomy single: there’s rapping,but I’m singing it.”Her video launch on Friday 11 March willgive hip-hop fans a chance to see the musicvideo for the single before it airs on televi-sion channels like Tracer and Channel O.This won’t be Leelia’s first time on TV ei-ther; a few weeks ago she was featured onCape Town TV’s Ek Sê. She has a lot of radiointerviews behind her name.Leelia choreographed her music videoherself and hopes to introduce her newdance with the help of her new dance crewthe Dance Dolls.“I hope a lot of people are going to bewind-ing with me.”The Dance Dolls will be joining Leelia onstage at the video launch,where fanswill geta taste of her upcoming album.The audiencecan also look forward to performances bySomethingfromthemotherland, Abadwang-uzeli the Natives and Amper Alien.Tickets cost R40 each at the door with pre-sold VIP tickets, which include platters anddrinks on arrival, available at R100.V Email [email protected] or call or Whatapp079 062 9666 for bookings or more information.

HEIDEVELD

Youngsters todance in GeorgeEARL HAUPT

@EarlHaupt

The Heideveld dance group is going fromstrength to strength.Established last year, the group has

grown to almost 50 children from the area.Now the group is taking 15 children toGe-

orge in April to participate in one of the na-tional competitions hosted by the South Af-rican Dance Teachers’ Association.Roderick and LynneNorman, founders of

the group, say that despite the rapid rise inthe group’s membership, they still face anumber of challenges.LynneNorman says: “The reasonwhywe

opened the club is for the underprivilegedkids, because this is a very expensive sport.We were at a club in Athlone, but wantedto open one in Heideveld. There were al-ways issues with the transport for the kidsand we know that they would not be ableto pay for these things.”She says they try not to charge the par-

ents toomuch. Since registering as anNPO,they have relied on the goodwill of the com-munity for donations.Meanwhile, Roderick says the tour to Ge-

orge will give his fellow community mem-bers an opportunity to experience life out-side the confines of Heideveld.

He says: “A lot of children in our areahave never been out of Cape Town. We aretrying to use dance as a way to expand theirhorizons, so that they can at least experi-ence something else in the Western Cape.I don’t think that a lot of the parents havebeen to George either and they are very ex-cited about it.”He too highlights the financial hurdles.“They dance well and they can compete,

but because of monetary issues, a lot ofthem can’t.”Currently they recycle shoes and dresses

from those who have outgrown them.“We get two coaches who come in to give

specialised training and we pay them tocome in.”The dance group facilitates children from

as young as five years old, with their oldeststudent being 22 years old.“It is for anybody, irrespective of if they

have money or not. They must just comeand dance. Heideveld’s kids have so muchtalent and if the communitywould just opentheir eyes as to what can happen to theirkids if they give them those opportuni-ties ... Because I feel a lot of our children donot have the opportunities that kids frommore privileged areas would have. Ourkids, if they have that push and all those op-portunities, they can go very far in life.”

The Heideveld DanceGroup will be sending 15children to a nationalcompetition in George inApril. Here is Kelvin Nair(left) along with hispartner Riana Jacobs.

Devandré Japhta andAngelique Pietersewill be hoping toshowcase theirdancing moves whenthe Heideveld DanceGroup embark on atour to George inApril.

IN THE GARDEN

Grow yourown ediblesA water wise vegetable and herb gardenhas the benefits of saving youwater and be-ing a source of healthy nutrition.Nick Stodel, MD of Stodels Nurseries,

gives tips to keep your home greens in shipshape in this hot, dry season.

Water wise bedsKeep traditional square or rectangular

beds that channel the water to the plants.Making the beds slightly lower will help tocreate a pocket for thewater. But be carefulwhen walking on the soil between theplants – you don’t want it to become com-pact and decrease absorption and increaseevaporation.

Water saving granulesThese can save up to 50% on water usage

as well as give your plants a slow releasefeeding. Combine products such as Aqua-soil with the soil used for planting.

Shade netsYou can either cover your whole veggie

orherbgardenor thoseareaswhere the sunis a lot harsher. This reduces evaporationand allows faster absorption of water.Remember thorough, less frequent wa-

tering encourages the roots to grow deeper.In this way the plants can thrive duringtimes of drought or little watering.

MulchingMulching is one of the quickest, easiest

and most cost effective ways to conservewater in your garden. Mulch is any sub-stance placed on the soil surface, aroundplants, to keep moisture in the soil.The best sort, organic mulch, comes

mostly from plant sources. They breakdownwith the help of earthworms. You canuse compost, grass cuttings, pine needles,milled bark, straw, peat, crushed mealiecobs, autumn leaves and shredded paper.Inorganic mulch has materials that do

not break down but keep moisture in thesoil, like gravel, pebbles and stones.“Enjoy the ‘fruits’ of your labours and

keep those veggie and herb gardens thriv-ing during this hot and dry season,’ saysStodel. “There’s nothing nicer than eatinghomegrown food straight from the garden.”V For more tips visit www.waterrestrictions.co.za andwww.stodels.com.

UIF is a verylong call awayfrom paid[The letter writer has been trying todraw his UIF benefits.]Last Tuesday I tried calling the

labour department. Someone eventuallytook the call, after it rang for more thanten minutes. She answered and politelytransferred the call to another depart-ment. Another ten minutes later nobodybothered to take the call and then cutme off.Immediately I called back. Nobody,

but nobody, took the call.Maybe we can get the Athlone group

to show the Town Centre group how itis done. I have been there more thanthree times and still no help from them.They keep saying the paperwork is notin order.I have another date for tomorrow –

can’t wait to hear what’s going tohappen tomorrow.[He returned last Wednesday.]I’m fed up and they don’t realise that

we need to borrow money to come backall the time.I had an appointment to go sign again

for unemployment.I spent the entire day there only for

them to tell me that my documentshave not been captured on the systemyet.I eventually left at 13:00. I was there

from 07:00 in the morning.I’m not happy with the service here

and would like to know where I cansend my complaints to.

Debt review not so easyI wish to comment on the editorialcomment “Ignoring debt will not make itgo away” (People’s Post, 16 February).I wish to advise that the article paints

a very easy and trouble-free future forpeople who are in debt, suggesting thatdebt review would ease their pain.This is not entirely the full story.I was on debt review for nearly seven

years and for most of that time it reallydid not matter as I was using my ownmoney to pay for things.The trouble started when I wanted to

get off the debt review as the companythat had applied for my restructuring hadsubsequently closed and my file washanded over to a new company.I was sent a letter by the new compa-

ny, but could not make sense of itimmediately.It was only later after months and

months of trying to locate the people thathad placed me under debt restructuring

that I found the letter from the othercompany that had taken over the ac-count.But they were of no service to me

because they were never paid to do so.I managed to acquire the self-exclusion

form which is required should you wishto opt out of debt review.The lesson to be learnt here was that

getting into debt review was easy, butgetting out was frustrating.Without the proper information re-

quired at hand, one could face one of themost miserable days as no creditor orbank can help you if your status report isdebt review, regardless of how yourfinancial situation has changed.Debt review is not the answer, but

learning to know how to work with yourown money and applying faith-basedprinciples will save you from hardship.

Mistreatment at UIF officesI agree with the letter writer in People’sPost (“Claiming UIF is ‘controlled cha-os’”, 16 February). I have been to theAthlone office thrice and the office isvery slow. Twice I went to one assistantand to another the other time. The firsttime I went was in October, but I am yet

to receive my maternity leave UIFmoney. I was not informed properly andhad to take my forms back to work threetimes. I hope I can get my payouts beforegoing back to work.

DESIRÉE RORKE@dezzierorke

The first time she laid eyes on him, AlanaWitberg’s heart was ripped from her

chest.“He had the saddest eyes I had ever seen

on any animal,” she says about Snowy, thelittle Arctic fox that was rescued by theNSPCA from a petting zoo in Johannesburglast year and relocated to Butterfly WorldTropical Gardens outside Cape Town.Alana is the curator at the park.“When asked by the NSPCA if we could

accommodate him we said yes in a heart-beat.“He was in a terrible condition – over-

weight with overgrown nails and rottenteeth. It was clear that he had a tough life,”she says.The four-year-old male is a victim of the

illegal exotic pet trade in South Africa, andis believed to be one of 16 Arctic foxes re-corded in South Africa.Since he arrived in October last year, the

team at Butterfly World had gone the extramile to ensure that the remaining years ofSnowy’s life – another three to eight years– will be as comfortable as possible.“Arctic foxes originate from the arctic re-

gions of the Northern Hemisphere, and areadapted to living in very cold environ-ments.“The hottest summer days they experi-

ence in the ice tundras are 17° degrees,while they are quite comfortable at -50° de-grees during the long winters,” she says.

Now lives with female Cape foxIt is unimaginable to comprehend how

Snowy survived the hot African conditionsat the cramped petting zoo, where he waskept for years.“He was skittish and trusted nobody, and

very, very unhappy.”He was immediately set up in a tempera-

ture controlled environment at ButterflyWorld and Alana spent countless hourswith him to gain his trust.“In fact, we have cleared and refurnished

a two-bedroom flat with a bathroom all forSnowy’s use. Since it is very stressful for

him in the heat, he is kept indoors to remaincool,” she says.Here he especially loves lying on the cold

bathroom tiles and was joined by Leila, aplayful female Cape fox.“Hewas very lonely andwe brought Leila

in for companionship. Although she seemsto rule the roost with her dominant person-ality, the pair get on very well, and Snowyhappily submits,” says Alana and adds thatSnowy will soon be getting the “snip”.WithPeople’s Post’svisit lastweek the iro-

ny was not lost on us – an Arctic fox findingsolace and contentment in a tropical park.When Alana took him out of his cool en-

closure for one of two daily strolls, it wasclear that much had changed for this adora-ble little creature. He was in tip-top condi-tion, playful and curious with lively and in-quisitive little eyes.“He loves his strolls and needs the exer-

cise, but can’t stay outside in this climatefor too long. He starts panting very quicklyif it is too warm.”

AmbassadorSnowy is now an ambassador at the park

in their attempt to bring about awarenessregarding the exotic animals pet trade.“We hope that his story will make people

think twice before keeping an exotic pet.”If you would like to meet Snowy you can

go along to the park during his daily walks.On Saturdays and Sundays this is be-

tween 10:00 and 11:00 and again at 15:00 and16:00, depending on the temperature.“He will be walked on his harness by an

animal handler who is available to answeranyquestions andassistwith aphoto oppor-tunity.”V Call Butterfly World on 021 875 5628 for more infor­mation.

This man knows taxHe knows the game from bothsides and together with the taxombudsman, he ensures busi-ness runs smoothly.Advocate Eric Mkhawane,

CEOof the TaxOmbudsman, re-cently visited Mitchell’s Plainin a bid to educate the public onthe roles and powers of the om-budsman.The office was only recently

launched, says Mkhawane, andnotmanyknowof it ormakeuseof its services yet.

Mkhawane has been with theoffice since December 2013 andhas been practising law forabout 20 years. He started hispractice in Johannesburg in the1990s and worked at South Afri-can Revenue Services (Sars) be-fore passing the bar exam to be-come an advocate.He says he has experience on

both sides of the tax spectrum,having represented Sars andthe taxpayer, which helped himget an educated understanding.

There is help for your tax woesSAMANTHA LEE

@Samantha_Lee121

There is an organisation de-signed to help youwith your tax

woes, and the service is free ofcharge.The office of the Tax Ombuds-

man is an independent body estab-lished in 2013. Its CEO recently vi-sitedMitchell’s Plain to informres-idents of its services.Advocate Eric Mkhawane says

the office has been a long time com-ing. “The office was initiated in1995. After 1994 there was a tax re-form and it was found that thereneeded to be a tax structure to pro-tect the taxpayers’ rights andmedi-ate between the revenue serviceand the taxpayer,” he explains.The office was, however, only

put intomotionwith the passing ofthe Tax Act in 2011, which madeprovision for the body.“Weneeded towait for [theSouth

African Revenue Service (Sars)] tobe ready, andwhen their processeswere ready, we were waiting forthe next thing. It was put togetherin 2012 and became operational in2013,” he tells People’s Post.Mkhawane visited Mitchell’s

Plain last Wednesday.He says: “People must know

about us and our services. If peoplehad issues with the revenue ser-vice before the office, they wouldneed to go to court. We also wantpeople to know how to complainand what we can and can’t do.”About 20 people attended the

workshop hosted by ENSafrica.“The office of the Tax Ombuds-

man is an important institutionthat contributes to assisting tax-

payers. ENSafrica, as part of ourpro bono programme, felt it impor-tant to ensure that communitieswere informed of the services ofthe office of the Tax Ombudsman,and thus we coordinated the infor-mation session, which was pre-sented by the CEO of the Tax Om-budsman. The session impartedvaluable information to the partic-ipants, who found it to be of im-mense value,” says Natasha Wagi-et of ENSafrica.

Specific circumstancesMkhawane explains there are

specific circumstances that allowhis office to step in to help taxpay-ers.The law states problems before

2012 cannot be dealt with by his of-fice, butMkhawane says they haverequested permission to allowsuch issuesto be dealtwith by hisoffice.There is no

representa-tive of the or-ganisation inCape Townyet, butMkhawanesays technol-ogy allows them to help taxpayerscountrywide. “In the new financialyear we are looking to extend ourfootprint. It is a process we areworking toward,” saysMkhawane.He explains the organisation is

governed by the law and com-plaints first need to be directed toSars before he is able to help – ex-cept in compelling circumstancesthat cause undue hardship for a

taxpayer.He adds the most popular cases

he deals with relate to refunds, butthe cases vary and are categorised.“We can make recommenda-

tions, but Sars does not need to im-plement it. But if they do not, wereport directly to the minister andhe would then ask why it was notimplemented,” he says.“We aim to have issues resolved

within 15 working days, but thatwould depend on Sars.”Mkhawane says after receiving a

complaint they do an investigationby accessing the Sars records andthen contact the complaining tax-payer if they are able to help.“We have a good working rela-

tionship with Sars but there aresome teething problems. People al-so are afraid to complain to us be-cause they feel they will be victi-

mised. If thathappens wewill deal withit,” he says.The Tax

Ombuds-man’s ser-vice is notwithout itslimitations.The office

cannot makeexceptions to the law or help inmatters already before the court.Sars still remains the first point

of call, and in the event they arenothelping a taxpayer, the Tax Om-budsmanwill be able to helpwherepossible.V For more information on the office of theTax Ombudsman visit www.taxom­bud.gov.za. With complaints call their toll­free line on 0800 662 837.

People are afraidto complain tous because theyfeel they will bevictimised.

Behind the banner of the Animal Anti-cruel-ty League (AACL) is a group of individualsworking tirelessly to care for and findhomesfor abandoned animals.These “everyday heroes” have been cap-

tured by local photographer Frank Pople.His work will be on display in an exhibitionin aid of the AACL.Pople’s relationship with the AACL start-

ed when he found a puppy inside a plasticbag while running. He approached the orga-nisation for help. When he saw its work, hewas inspired to take some portraits of thepeople working with the animals.“Seeing those animals in cages waiting to

be adopted, like orphans, made me so sad,”he says.

Mpho Hlalele, AACL’s assistant generalmanager, says: “He gave us some gorgeousimages and we realised that we couldn’t justhave them and do nothing with them. So be-gan the idea, a year later, to find a spacesomewhere and share the photos with thepublic, creating this fundraiser.”The exhibition will allow the public to

meet each person that has a role in animalwelfare – highlighting ordinary people tak-ing on extraordinary tasks, Hlalele says. Ev-eryone from the receptionist to the cleanerand veterinarian is featured.“The photos play a part in admiring the

heroes responsible for saving thousands ofsentient beings annually – from the ladywith a warm smile who washes hundreds ofblankets, to the knowledgeable hands thatsave lives with a scalpel blade. Our heroesbestow compassion on those who need it the

most – the voiceless victims of our society,”she says.The portraits also serve as a way to thank

staff for their contribution, Hlalele says.“Welfare workers are often undervalued

and unappreciated, often blamed by societyfor humanity’s mistakes. It is a thanklessand heartbreaking undertaking. Our heroesdo not bask in the glory of admiration; rath-er their tasks are carried out with painfuldecisions and many tears. They have to en-dure much suffering to be able to save livesand they have to continue this never-endingbattle for good to prevail. So in doing this,we just want to recognise that every personwho makes a contribution to make a differ-ence, is a hero,” she says.V The fundraising exhibition will take place at 6 SpinStreet Restaurant in Cape Town on Friday at 19:00.Entry is a donation of R50.

Hellenic Football Club have kept theirleague aspirations alive followingtheir 4-1 home victory against a lethar-

gic Grassy Park United side in a Safa West-ern Cape regional ABC Motsepe League en-counter at the UCT astroturf field on Satur-day.While Hellenic, affectionately known as

the “Greek Gods”, are on song in theirleague campaign, Theo Hempe’s GrassyPark United are now singing the blues.United, togetherwith Ikapa Sportingwere

the only teams in the top five to suffer de-feats.Sporting fell to a 2-0 defeat at the hands of

Steenberg United.The two teams now sit on 34 and 33 points

from 19 matches and, with the gap wideningbetween them and the top, their chances ofclaiming a stake of the league trophy is slim.Glendene United, the defending league

champions, fought a tough battle to beat RCAthletico 1-0 in Kensington on Friday afterbeing kept to a 1-1 draw by United in a mid-week fixture.Glendene United maintain their position

at the top of the league standings.Glendene United have 42 points after 20

matches and Hellenic are second with 41points after 19 matches.Third-place Steenberg United, on 37

points, have played 18 games and simply

cannot be ruled out from the league race.The results confirm that all three front

runners are very much in with a chance ofwearing the league crown. It would give thechampions an opportunity to strike it big atthe promotion national play-offs for a berthin the national first division competition.NeverthelessHempe’s United sidewas un-

able to continue its good form. Team mem-bers appeared to have tired legs and as a re-sult, never really got into gear.Nevertheless, the Greek Gods never

looked in danger against the Southern Sub-urbs visitors. They held a 1-0 lead for the bet-ter part of the first half thanks to SlovoMra-wa’s goal. Waseem George made no mistaketo level matters for United.After the start of the match in the second

half, the Greek Gods found the back of thenet three more times and made full use oftheir chances in goals by Fabian “Tucker”Wareley,Mickyle JacksonandThandoBooi.The team was without its top marksman Al-fonso Fraser, who is serving a three-matchsuspension.V Full results from the ABC Motsepe League: GlendeneUnited 1, RC Athletico 0; Steenberg United 2, IkapaSporting 0; Milano United 2, The Magic 2; Barcelona1, Crystal Palace 0; Atlantic Nacional 2, Mitchell’s PlainUnited 1; Zizwe United 3, Black Cats 2; Hellenic 4,Grassy Park United 1; Ramblers 2, Atlantic Nacional 2;Ikapa Sporting 1, Zizwe United 0; RC Athletico 2, AjaxCape Town 1; Glendene United 1, Grassy ParkUnited 1.

Glenthorn A’s trounced VOB 10-3 in a CapeTown Softball Association Super Leaguematch on Saturday.Besides their outstanding fixture against

Westridge Yankees, they will meet Normieson Saturday and Falcons next Saturday tocomplete their 21 league matches.Should they emerge with maximum

points, nothing will prevent them fromclinching their fifth consecutive league title.With 49 points to their name, coach Andre

Alexander’s Falcons are second on the log –two points behind defending championsGlenthorn A’s. The A’s have played one few-er game.

Falcons taste revenge against YankeesIt was sweet revenge for Falcons as they

avenged their earlier defeat against West-ridge Yankees at Turfhall Stadium on Satur-day.The Falcons, down 2-3, scored two earned

runs in the final and bottom of the fifth in-ning to send Westridge Yankees packing toa 4-3 defeat.Earlier this season, the Mitchell’s Plain

side starved off a stiff challenge by Falconsand beat Falcons 5-0.Falcons started pitching with Natalie

Abrahams, who was on the mound for 4.1 ofan inning. She faced 24 batters and allowedfive hits, while relief pitcher Nicky Jones(0.2 of an inning) faced nine batters and sur-rendered no hits.Featuring among the five single hits for

Yankees were Megan Cable, Jackie Adonis,Charmelle Whiteboy, Glynis Koopman andNuraan Williams (each 1-3). They also per-formed well in the field, making only twofielding errors.Yankees pitcher Cable faced 22 batters in

her five innings. While she conceded onebase-on-ball and earned six fanned scalps,Cable surrendered only four hits to Saman-tha Jones (1-1), Bettina Philips (1-2), Aama-rah Larney and Abrahams (each 1-3).ThewinmarkedFalcons’ 16th in 19 games.

They have one drawn result and two losesto date.. Meanwhile, in the weekend’s other MajorLeague games St Martin’s sent Tantasportreeling to an 11-4 defeat. Kenfac Phillies re-corded a 16-10 win against a mediocre Nor-mies side.

A big star in water polo is starting toshine brighter and brighter.CaitlinSiljeur is a 14-year-old athlete

from Retreat. From an early age she showedpromise as a sportsperson. As the youngestof three children in the house she often com-peted with great determination against hertwo older brothers while playing at home.She has a natural drive that allows her todo well and be successful.At her primary school she had a coach

who recognised her raw talent and devel-oped the young star. At 11 and in Grade 5,Caitlin won Player of the Tournament at theKnysna OpenWater Tournament in the u.13section in 2012.Later in the sameyear shewas selected for

the WP u.13B water polo team. She also rep-resented her regional u.13 teams in hockeyand softball in the same year.She says her favourite sport is water polo.“I enjoy water polo more because I find it

comesmorenaturally tome thanhockey.Al-so, a lot of my friends play water polo withme and it makes it more enjoyable.”In 2013 she was selected for the WP u.13A

waterpolo team,whichwongoldat the inter-provincial tournament. She was also select-

ed as a pitcher for the WP u.13 softball teamand represented her zone in hockey.All these achievements earned her the

Sports Woman of the Year Award at herschool and she was offered a sport scholar-ship at Reddam House in Constantia, whereshe is now in Grade 9.In 2014 she finally played in her proper age

group and proved to be a dominant force asan attacking player in water polo.She is part of an exceptionally talented

team at Reddam House – they have not losta game in their age division for the pastthree years.She captained the WP water polo team to

a gold medal in Johannesburg, scoringheaps of goals. She also played in the region-al hockey team.Balancing training and academics takes

dedication with early mornings and fewweekends off.“I train for about five hours in a week. I

have early mornings on Mondays andWednesdays from 06:00 to 07:00 and on Tues-days and Thursdays I have afternoon prac-tice from 17:00 to 18:00 and on Fridays andSaturdays I have matches,” she says.“Sport makes me feel really good about

myself and it clears my head. It doesn’t mat-ter what form of sport I play, but wheneverI play I feel complete and in my right place.”Last year proved to be another successful

year for Caitlin. She was awarded WP col-ours in both water polo and hockey.And this year started on a high note.Her school team played in the Shaun

Fuchs u.15 water polo tournament in Johan-nesburg lastmonth against 19 other schools.Caitlin was awarded Player of the Match onthree occasions and named Best AttackingPlayer. She was also chosen for the tourna-ment team.She says that when she is not playing

sport, she enjoys running, hiking, surfing,stand-up paddling and going on long walks.Next year Caitlin is eligible for national

colours and hopefully she will follow in herolder brother Dannon’s footsteps.“In Grade 12 I would like to represent my

country at an international water polo tour-nament or at the Commonwealth Games,”she says.. You can also nominate your teenagedsport star by sending an email to [email protected]. Clearly write the subjectas Sport Star.
