MANENBERG

Thirteenkilled ina weekGang violence has ripped Ma-

nenberg to shreds this lastweek as a total of 13 people

have been killed in ongoing clash-es.In the latest incident, a 33-year-

old man was killed in Tibas Street.His body was found in the earlyhours of yesterday (Monday)morning after shots were heard inthe area.According to Lieutenant Ian

Bennett, spokesperson for Manen-berg police, the area has now beensaturated with police as well as theCity of Cape Town’s Metro Policeand Law Enforcement’s Stabilisa-tion Unit.“The only way to stop the gang

conflict is to get the community ac-tively involved in crime preven-tion, reporting all criminal activi-ty. The community mindset needto change to be able to address thegang situation fully,” states Ben-nett.Six firearms have been confis-

cated since the start of the conflictthrough ongoing operations.In a separate incident, two men

lence has dated back to Friday 1April when the conflict started be-tween the Dixi gang and the HardLivings gang. Another 23-year-oldman died in hospital after he wasshot while trying to flee the initialshooting. Ten more men, aged be-tween 18 and 43 years of age, werekilled in separate incidents fromSaturday 2 to Friday 8 April.Bennett says that the steep in-

crease in violence has made Ma-nenberg unstable once again.Another 15 people have been ar-

pier to be reunited with his birthmother.He tells excitedly how they de-

cided to contact Rachel – who as-sisted Maritz with her search.“The day the People’s Post came

CHEVON BOOYSEN@ChevonBooysen

Amother’s mission to find hermissing son has ended with amiracle – and People’s Post

played a part in the fairytale end-ing.The power of the press has been

proven after the story of a GrassyPark mother who longed to meether son “before I close my eyes”,was published last year. That wishhas been granted.Betty Maritz (83) now has a con-

stant smile and says she is sleepingmore peacefully since she was re-united with her son.People’s Post previously report-

ed onMaritz’s plight to be reunitedwith her son after 64 years after hewas taken by a guardian Maritzlived with at the time (“Longing tosee son after 64 years”, Tuesday 25August).After the article was printed,

Maritz said someone contacted heron the same day to meet with her.“That day aman and twowomen

pulled up at my house,” she says.“At the time it was obviously not

confirmedhewasmy son butwhenthatmangot out of the car, a feelingjust came up in me and I just knewit had to be him,” Maritz says.She explains the trio then told

her that they read the article andthey suspectedJosephJosephswasher son “because I explained thebirthmark in the article”.Asked what transpired during

their first meeting and what madeJosephs think the long lost soncould be him, Maritz says “he fellwhen he was younger and when he

got hurt his guardian shout-ed ‘die is nie my kind nie’(This is not my child)”.That stayed with him all

the time and he in turn alsohad a longing to find out whohis real mother was.“We then decided to do

blood tests to confirm if hewas really my son. However,deep in my heart I just knewthat I had finally found mysonbecausehe looks just likeme,” she says.Three weeks passed after

the blood tests and then emo-tional news came to the fami-ly confirming Josephs is herson. “Since then we havebeen in regular contact andthey have been visiting meas well. I have a daughter-in-lawaswell as grand-children

and great-grand-children. When Iwent to visit themattheir home in Zeek-oevlei they had abraai for me andthere I also met mydaughter-in-law’smother. They are re-ally very lovely peo-ple,” Maritz beams.She adds her neigh-

bours have been aselated to hear thegood news and “alsoexcitedly shout ‘joukind is hier’whenever theycome to visit,” laughs Maritz.Added to the trail of joyous

events sincemeeting her son, Mar-itz celebrated her 83rd birthdaywith her son and his family whenthey treated her to a surprisebreakfast. “I am so glad my searchis over and sincemy son camebackinto my life, I have been able tosleep easier. If it wasn’t for the help

out, I fetched it myself at the shopand sat reading quietly while mywifewas cooking. I cameacross thestory of Betty and some thingsstarted to resonate with me espe-cially the birthmark description,”he says.Josephs says he read the article

quietly by himself first before tell-ing his wife about it. “She has al-ways supported me in trying tofindmy birth mother. She even en-couraged me to write to a TV showwho reunites families. When Ishowed her the article she just toldme ‘daai is jou ma’. We then madecontact with her and visited theday after,” Josephs recalls.He says when they arrived out-

side Maritz’s home, she camestraight to him and held him. “Sheheld me really tight and there wasa connection there. I felt somethingthough it was not yet officially con-firmed. The blood tests then later

revealed thatshe is indeedmy mother,”he says.Since their

meeting Jo-sephs sayshis familyhas uncondi-tionally ac-cepted Mar-itz as part ofthe family.“My chil-

dren andgrandchil-dren accepther whole-heartedlyand theycall hertheir MaBetty.”Added

to thisstring ofhappy

events, on Saturday Maritz cele-brated her 83rd birthday with Jo-sephs and his family.“After my wife found out it

would be my mother’s birthday,she said we have to do somethingfor her. So we decided on a break-fast at ourhomeonSaturdaymorn-ing,” he says.“I canonly thankGod formaking

this all come together like this,” Jo-sephs concludes.

Fond farewell for Colonel VerwantEARL HAUPT

@EarlHaupt

After 36 years in the police force, ColonelKrisjan Verwant, now former station

commander of Athlone Police Station, hasretired.

Verwant (60) started in the South AfricanPolice Services (SAPS) in 1980, eventuallybecoming a manager in 1991. After that heworked in Cape Town before being identi-fied as a potential station commander.

He then became the commander of Ken-sington police station in 1996, overseeing op-erations for two years before being trans-ferred to Maitland police station where heassumed command.

After being promoted to the rank of a fullColonel, Verwant became Delft police sta-tion’s commander.

He was the station commander at Delftfrom 2000 to 2003. Verwant said that he leftDelft after asking to be transferred to theProvincial Inspectorate, where he workeduntil he was made station commander ofAthlone police station in 2013.

“I am grateful for the participative waythat I have worked with the community. Imust thank the Community Police Forum(CPF) for assistingme, the civic associationsas well as the neighbourhood watches whoworked with me so nicely and my people atAthlone police station who assisted me.”

He feels that during his tenure, he, alongwith his colleagues and community mem-bers, has made a dent in the crime rate inthe area.

“I think that there is a difference, becausethe last meeting that I had with the civic as-sociation, the civic queried about crime, butthe neighbourhood watches could stand upby themselves and say that they walk thestreets and they can say that there has beena reduction in crime,” he pointed out.

Following the conclusion of his 36-year po-lice career, Verwant said that he would stilllike to be active in the community.

“I would like to work with neighbourhoodwatches and try to establish neighbourhoodwatches wherever I can and assist them.That is one of my desires, to be involved inthe community and also assist in the preven-tion of crime on my own. That is what I willbe doing after all of this.”

Despite his lengthy career, Verwant saidthat not all the memories of his time in thepolice service were good ones, but main-tained that there are still thosewho canhavea very long and successful career.

“It is important that you have the ear tolisten and comply with the correct instruc-tions. The other thing is that if you want tobelong to the police, you must not be late forwork and do not stay out of work, nobodycan do anything if you just do your job andknow how to work with the community.”

Verwant said that retirement has now af-forded him precious time with his family,who has stood by him throughout the years.

“Now I have the time to take my familyout, my wife I must thank. I have two sonsand I have got my wife, I am still married.My sons are working. I now have the timefor my wife, after 36 years in the police andshe is so grateful to be with me. Now we willactually go somewhereand I can takeheroutand also release her stress, because I gotstressed, she would also be stressed at home.The two of us will be taking some time off

just to go and relax a bit.”Verwant has been married to his wife for

32 years and he quipped that it is time forher now after all these years, but that he willalso be spending his time devoted to anotherpastime of his.

“I like fishing, but not in the ocean, butin rivers and that am what I will actually en-joy as well.”

He feels that he has left Athlone police sta-tion in the safe and capable hands of ColonelClive Nicholas and Colonel Alton Larry whois the station’s branch commander.

“I think that they can just carry on,” saysVerwant, “The station is in safe hands withthem and they know exactly what to do. Ithink the community will be in safe handswith them.”

Verwant still feels that gangsterism is ahuge challenge being faced by the communi-ty and police alike, along with the variousproperty crimes which occur in the area.

“I think that with the community involve-ment, with the neighbourhood watches, wecan work together to make it better. We oncehad 13 neighbourhood watches in Athlone,who worked together, but it also depends onthe community and how they work togetheras well as the community working togetherwith themselves, not with the police all thetime.”

He said that another challenge is how thedifferent neighbourhood watches work to-gether, but he is pleased with the system be-ing adopted in the Athlone area.

“I hope that the neighbourhood watcheswho are not on board will come on board towork together and then we will be able toovercome the challenges being faced in Ath-lone.”

Verwant said thathewill not bedisappear-ing into the sunset just yet and that he willstill be on hand for those who call on him.

“I just want to thank the community fortheir assistance. Anytime they contactedme, I could give them guidance and I couldassist them whenever they have had a chal-lenge.

“I still have the same personal number

and they still phonemeand I can still assistthem from wherever I am, so I appreciatewhen they contact me and I can assist. Istill stay in the area where I have alwaysbeen.”

With World Health day being observed lastThursday, the City of Cape Town continuesto urge residents to have regular testing fordiabetes and to keep in shape to avoid con-tracting the disease.The World Health Organisation has sin-

gled out diabetes for World Health Day as ithas become one of the biggest threats to pub-lic health. According to the organisation,about 350million people worldwide have dia-betes and the disease was responsible for 1.5million deaths in 2012 –most in low- andmid-dle-income countries.“Diabetes is a growing problem all over the

world and evidence suggests that at this rate,it will become a bigger killer than HIV/Aidsand tuberculosis (TB). Unless somethingdrastic is done to develop awareness aroundprevention and to ensure optimal diabetictreatment control, South Africa is in for an-other health crisis,” said the Mayco memberfor health, Siyabulela Mamkeli.Many patientswith diabetes have no symp-

toms, or verymild symptoms, and go undiag-nosed until they develop diabetic complica-tions.Toprevent this situation, adults shouldvis-

it a health care facility to do random glucosetests for diabetes screening. While there, pa-tients will receive advice on diabetes preven-tion to reduce the risk of developing Type 2diabetes, such as lifestyle modification tipsincluding weight loss, exercise and diet.People who are at high risk of developing

diabetes are those who are overweight, inac-tive, hypertensive or have a family historyof diabetes.“Many people simply do not take issues

like diabetes seriously enough until they arediagnosed and then it’s too late. We need tolook after our health – from what we are eat-ing to whether we are keeping active. Lifes-tyle is as important, if notmore so, than treat-ment andmedication. We need to move awayfrom the idea that pills can fix everything.Prevention through good habits is a muchbetter option.“It’s also a little-known fact that people

with diabetes have a much higher risk of de-veloping TB. Every new case diagnosed withdiabetes must be screened for TB. Converse-ly, if a diagnosis of TB is made, it is impera-tive that the patient be screened for diabetes.So the health impact is actually potentiallymuch more serious than we might think,”says Mamkeli.The corrosive effect of high levels of blood

sugar for a prolonged period of time can leadto organ damage like kidney failure, blind-ness, heart disease and strokes. In additionto controlling blood sugar levels, dietarychanges like reducing sugar and starch in-take are also advocated. Healthcare provid-ers place heavy emphasis on patient educa-tion to overcome other challenges like possi-ble side effects of diabetes medication.“There is no ‘one size fits all’ approach to

diabetes management. Each patient needs tobe actively involved in discussing and plan-ning their treatment goals, but also to helpraise awareness around the prevention of di-abetes – especially for those around them, in-cluding their children. We are seeing an in-crease in thenumberof youngpeople affectedby diabetes and this cannot be allowed to gounchecked,” said Mamkeli.

World Health Day isover, but keep testing!

ber, said honouring the 20 former athletesand administrators on the same day as theRoman memorial wasn’t just an impulsiveaction.“We thought long and hard about it and

came to the conclusion we should not waituntil our legends die to acknowledge theircontribution to our sport,” October said.“Ours should be a living history.We have

to acknowledge them in their life-timewhen the younger generation can embracethem and see why they were role models.“We can see no better example of this

than Cecil Blows. For more than 50 years

Cecil has been central to athletics in theCape Peninsula.“He embodies everything that Play

Sport4Life stands for, getting more peoplein the community to participate in sportand developing and nurturing individualsto become professional athletes.”Blows was a star sprinter in Cape Town

in the ’60s and was sprint champion formore than eight years. Roman ultimatelytook his crown. He schooled at TrafalgarHigh in the ’50s and was then already achampion sprinter.Apart fromBlows, other champions from

the past to be honoured areRobinApril, Ed-win ‘Mzoli’ Ngcawuzele, Dianne Morgan,Jackie Swanepoel, Herman Gibbs, Leon Pi-etersen, Gavin Benjamin, Deon Campher,Andy James, Allan O’Ryan, Nathan DeKock, Derrick Naidoo, Terrence Smith,Sharon Siljeur, AndreAlexander, ZeldaDa-vids, Glenda Jones and Shaheeda Majiet.Administrator Frank van der Horst will

also be honoured for his contribution toWestern Cape sport.The organisers are hoping that the event

will kick-start a push to bring back theschools athletics meets that was so popularin the ’60s and ’70s.“All the athletes we are honouring were

standouts at school level andwent on to con-tribute in somewayoranother to communi-ty to local,” October said.“Cecil Blows is the perfect example of

that. He is still very active.”V For more information on Play Sport4Life contactNazlie Dollie on 071 386 6573 or [email protected].

Scholarship to build peace

EARL HAUPT@EarlHaupt

Thirty of the 738 beneficiaries of the Hei-develd Housing project will be moving

into their homes next week.People’s Post reported last month (“Mov-

ing day set for April”, 1 March 2016) that thefirst houses were set to be ready for occupa-tion by April, with no concrete date beingset for the move.

However, in the latest development, An-thony Moses, councillor for ward 44 hasconfirmed that a key handing-over ceremo-ny has been set for Tuesday 19 April.

“We have got a key handover at the Cath-kin community centre. The residents willstart moving in from next week,” he stated.

Moses had hoped that the first batch of

houses would be ready sooner, but follow-ing an initial inspection of the site, he hadto delay the handing over.

“The reason for that (delay) was basicallythat when I went to check some of the chal-lenges that were promised, the site was stilldirty.

“For me, from my perspective, there werea couple of health and safety issues whererubble and stuff were lying all over. I saidto them that we cannot have this.”

One of the other issues which was investi-gated was the colours the houses were beingpainted before the final inspection, whichtook place last Friday.

“I went to check the colours of the painton the houses. Now they have sorted thatout, and then on Friday I visited the proper-ties for one final check,” says Moses.

Run opens up AthloneEARL HAUPT

@EarlHaupt

Little over two years ago, Nantes AthleticsClubwas formed, now theyare gearingup

to host their first large-scale race.The race,which takes place onWednesday

27 April, will wind its way through Bridge-town, Silvertown and Kewtown under thetheme “Freedom to run”.

Caroline Peters, founder and chairpersonof Nantes Athletics Club is excited at theprospect of hosting up to 5000 runners fromclubs all affiliated to the Western ProvinceAthletics Association, which themselveshave endorsed the race.

“We are going to have a 10km run (and)a 10kmwalk tenminutes later. Then 10 min-utes after that, we will be having a 5km funrun,” says Peters.

The race will set off fromNantes AthleticsClub’s Vangate Sports Complex clubhouse.Entry fee for the 10km run is set at R40 forlicensed runners, while unlicensed runnerswill have to pay R50 to enter.

Those interested in taking part in the 5kmfun run/walk will have to pay an entry feeof R20.“We are trying to encourage lots of people

who say that they cannot run. Nobody is al-lowed to run in that race, so it is an official10km walk. We would love our communityto come out and participate and get active.”She said that the club has grown in leaps

and bounds since its formation, boasting amembership of close to 500 members. Petersis passionate about creating an atmospherein the greater Athlone area where the com-munity will feel comfortable with being ac-tive within their own surroundings.“We definitely see the need in our commu-

nity. We see the eagerness and I think justby looking at the numbers, you can see howpeople are now drawn to change their lifes-tyles.Wewant to bring people fromallwalksof life from all over to come into our commu-nity and it will be more awareness for ustoo.”It will be the first time an event of this na-

ture and this magnitude will be held in the

area as an event run by people from the areaitself.

“To bring 5000 runners from across West-ern Province Athletics, from elite runners,we would like our community to come out,even if you are not participating. If youknow that the race is coming past yourhouse, get up and stand outside to encouragethe runners just to participate in this festi-val of running. We are calling it ‘The free-dom to run’, because it is happening onFree-domDay. I think, forme,what is quite signif-icant is that people from all walks of life willbe in the area of Bridgetown, SilvertownandKewtown and for many, it will be the firsttime through our areas.”

The route starts at Vangate Sports Com-plex and will then proceed down BosduifRoad, before going around Tarentaal Road,then comes downCypressWay and goes intoCornflower and turns into Sycamore Waypast Nantes Park.V For more information about the race or to enter, contact Caroline Peters on 073 029 7879 or Fadia Robertson 072 972 7765.

ATHLONE

Following inChrist’s footstepsEARL HAUPT

@EarlHaupt

An Athlone man has recounted the stepstakenbyJesusChrist afterwalkingwith

a cross on his back through the streets ofAthlone, ending up in Claremont.Lawrence Matji (55) came to Cape Town

in 2007 after the job he had at the time re-quired him to relocate from his Kroonstadhome. However, since leaving his job,Matjipursued his heart’s desire, which was tocommit himself to the work of the Lord.

“Ihave committedmyself to goandget theChristianbooks at theFrontlineFellowshipin Rondebosch. I get Christian books fromAmerica and distribute them.”

Matji distributes this material to policestations, hospitals as well as various placesof worship and that the material he distrib-utes is also free.

This Easterwas the second time thatMat-ji undertook his walk and added that he haslearnt from his last one, which he conduct-ed last year. “I walked to (Cape) Town andI slept over at the Roman Catholic Church

there. The Saturday morning I walked tothe Green Point Boulevard and in front ofthe sea with the cross. On Sunday, obvious-ly I had to come back, and I had to carry thecross.”Matji is not bothered by the attention he

receives when he is walking with the crossand instead he hopes that it serves as a re-minder to those who identify with his faith.“If I am walking with the cross, then I

don’t think that I even have to be saying aword because people should know that thisis a remembrance of the time the Lord hadto be on that cross for us.”He says he also uses the time to hand out

CDs and DVDs, but he admits that althoughthe road he takes is a lonely one, he wouldnotmind having a little bit of help along theway.Although a novel initiative, Matji says he

stumbled across the idea. “As I was gettingthe literature from Frontline Fellowship Icame across a DVD. The DVD was titled‘The Cross’. This was a man from some-where in Australia who had that idea ofwalking with a cross.”

Time to ‘become crime fighters’Cape Town mayor Patricia de Lille has

once again pledged her commitment toworking with police in a meeting held be-tween De Lille and provincial police man-agement last Thursday.

“It is a great pleasure for me to be here to-day (Thursday) with the newly appointedWestern Cape provincial police commis-sioner, Lieutenant General KhombinkosiJula.

Even though the primary mandate to fightcrime belongs to the South African PoliceService, the City of Cape Town has a crimeprevention strategy which exists to supporttheir work. We are here today in the spiritof cooperative governance to reaffirm ourcommitment to working with the SAPS toaddress the scourge of crime across ourcity,” she said.

Crimehas a crippling effect on society, shesaid.

“It prevents school children from gettingthe education that they are entitled to.Crime prevents young people from livingtheir dreams and accessing opportunitiesfree from the pressure and lure of drugs andgangsters. It has the consequence of keepingus all locked in our homes to stay away fromthe danger, because criminals roam free on

our streets. Crime robs us all of freedom,fairness and opportunity.”

She explains that all residents have a roleto play in fighting crime.

The City has implemented innovativemethods of deploying human resources tobuild a safe city. “Our specialised Gang andDrug Task Team has seen great successesthrough its intelligence-driven operations.This unit has been trained in internationalbest practice,” she said.

Since November 2014, the unit has con-ducted 717 searches of private dwellings and737 searches at City rental stock.

They have worked together with the K9Unit and made 543 drug-related arrests and362 general arrests. This unit has also pre-sented 72 gang and drug awareness talks atschools, men’s clubs, universities and com-panies.

Last year the City launched the Stabilisa-tion Unit, which is a specialised unit thatcomprises 90 Expanded Public Works Pro-gramme workers.

“They have received training in satura-tionpolicingand, sinceDecember, theyhavebeen deployed to gang-ridden and volatileareas as the need arises. Thus far they havesearched 825 houses, arrested 388 suspects

and confiscated 2 417 units of drugs,” saysDe Lille.

“As an investment into protecting the fu-ture of our children, we have employed 36school resource officers. We can have thebest schools and teachers, but if gangsters,crime and drugs prevent learners from com-ing to school, then the opportunities wemake available will be in vain.”

These officers have been deployed to 18schools in areas such as Mitchell’s Plain,Hanover Park, Bishop Lavis, Manenberg,Delft and Nyanga.

According to Section 64C of the South Af-rican Police Service Act, an annual policingplan must be developed by the executivehead of the municipal police service afterconsultation with the South African PoliceService and relevant community policing fo-rums (CPFs).

“We are drawing up the 2016/17 plan forsubmission to Lieutenant General Jula to beready by the end of April,” says De Lille.

“I would like to invite the public to submittheir input into ourAnnual PolicePlanuntil23 April 2016. They can do so via e-mail sub-mission to [email protected], they can submit their ideas inthe suggestion boxes at the following four

Metro Police depots: Bonteheuwel, CentralCity, Khayelitsha and Philippi.”

De Lille thanked those who have joinedthem in fighting crime as part of street com-mittees, CPFs and neighbourhood watch or-ganisations.

This financial year the City spent R2.3msupporting hundreds of neighbourhoodwatches with community-based crime pre-vention training and issuing of equipment,which includes bicycles, torches, patroljackets, reflective bibs and first-aid kits.

Over the next two weeks 450 two-way radi-os will also be distributed as an extra meas-ure of support.

“Just this week, I met with an all-womenstreet committee in Lentegeur, called BayWatch. Theyare allmotherswhohavedecid-ed that they will no longer allow gangstersand drugs to steal their children from them.I would like to commend and thank themand other committees like them who are do-ing what they can to fight crime.

“We cannot prevent crime alone. Thisscourge requires all of us – the City of CapeTown, Western Cape Government, the SAPSand residents – to play a part. Let us all makeuse of this opportunity to become crimefighters in our own right.”

Mermaids, sea goddesses and fish you mightwell expect to find underwater. But a photoexhibition by Laurence Savary also cap-tures submerged flowers, animals, birds andinsects.

Savary is a French photographer celebrat-ing the beauty of the Cape. Her Le beau Capexhibitions have revealed Cape botany, hu-man hair and minstrels.

This series showcases a range of tattooscaptured while underwater at the Sea Pointpool.

The exhibition was opened yesterday byBelinda Walker, Mayco member for commu-nity services and special projects, and willrun at the Sea Point Library up to May.

One of the city’s more inclusive areas, thephotos are a range of tattoo designs on arange of skins, Savary explains.

“I am a swimmer at Sea Point Pool, theworld’s most beautiful pool. As a photogra-pher, I noticed that underwater tattoo de-signs look more exciting. I became curiousto spot different creatures in thewater focus-ing on the design – for itself independent ofthe carrying body,” she explains.

Savary was intrigued to see how watermovements combine with light from sunrays to make tattoo images look alive inthree dimensions.

However, the project was not withoutchallenges, as the photos are only taken inthe water.

Her supply of tattoo and skin tones was

limited to swimmers in the pool, and at onestage she struggled to find tattoos of fish andsea creatures.

The public is invited to interact with theimages. There will be a colouring competi-tion for children and adults are invited tocreated stories for the images “as if theycame out the water”, Savary says.

“My favourite images are those that in-spire the most diverse stories to the public.The creativity potential of an image throughmanyCape eyes is to reveal theirheart, theirfears, their hopes, and their vision. My pho-tographs are but seeds, which my exhibi-tions plant into people’s eyes,” she says.

R1m damage to schoolsAt the start of every new school term, theSafe Schools Directorate provides a re-port of incidents of burglary and vandal-ism that took place at schools across theprovince during the school holiday peri-od. The cost of the damages causedduringtheApril school period is still beingdeter-mined, but estimates are already morethan R1m, says Western Cape minister ofeducation, Debbie Schäfer.

“I am angered to hear that one of ourspecial needs schools became the targetof armed perpetrators who proceeded toremove 50m of fencing from the school,”says Schäfer.

It is reported that the foreman and twosecurity guards on site called the police,but unfortunately they did not arrive intime to take action, she says.

“The cost to repair the fence is morethan R600 000. It is simply not possible tosustain this kind of expenditure on re-pairing stolen fencing.”

During the April school holiday period,thedepartment’s SafeSchools directorateincreased security at identified high riskschools and deployed additional securityto these schools.

However, despite increased securitymeasures, each school holiday a numberof schools fall victim to incidents of bur-glary and vandalism. Over the April holi-day period alone, schools reported a totalof 16 incidents of burglary and vandal-

ism. The incidents reported includedtheft of copper pipes, electrical cabling,computer equipment, an entire CCTVmonitoring system, and ina separate casefour CCTV cameras were stolen.

Damage to classrooms and school hallsincluded theft of and damage to light fit-tings, broken windows and stolen sport-ing equipment. A feeding kitchen was yetagain targeted, with food and cookingutensils being stolen.

“In two separate incidents, perpetra-tors broke into a woodwork classroomstealing more than R100 000 of powertools and equipment. Perpetrators alsotargeted a store roomstealingpower toolsas well as gardening and maintenanceequipment. This deals a blow to our skillsdevelopment, which provides learnerswith life opportunities. We should be us-ing these funds to build new schools, im-prove existing schools and generally im-prove opportunities for children,” shesays.

The WCED spends about R10m a yearon emergency repairs as a result of dam-age from major incidents of vandalism.

“For instance, R10m could employ anadditional 33 educators in our schools ayear, ensure that an additional 9 000learners attend no-fee schools, or provideover 60 000 additional textbooks. At theendof theday, vandalismrepresents theftfrom our pupils.”

MIKE’S OCEAN TALES

Acidicoceansslowly killPollution and the increase of CO2 levelshave resulted in climate change which hashad a drastic impact on the global ocean.The ocean absorbs carbon dioxide, de-

creasing the pH levels of the ocean, whichresults in the acidity of the ocean increas-ing. This problem is known as ocean acidi-fication.Acidificationmodifies the chemical com-

position of the ocean, lowering the level ofcalcium carbonate in the water. Calciumcarbonate is important for somemarine lifeas they use it for shell formation. Molluscs,such as limpets and barnacles, are primeexamples this. The lack of calcium is affect-ing the growth rates and sizes of marine or-ganisms.An increase in carbon dioxide uptake al-

so occurs in summer months in the ArcticOcean as the ice melts, which allows thephytoplankton to absorb more CO2 fromthe atmosphere as they grow. When thesephytoplankton die, they release more CO2into the ocean. This results inmany carbonsinks being found under the ice and resultsin even more CO2 being absorbed, increas-ing the ocean’s acidity and decreasing thepH levels.Another consequence of the increased

acidification is an increase in the anxietyof someof the fish.A study done on juvenilerockfish showed that they responded to are-as of a fish tank that had increased levelsof acidity. Rockfish exposed to acidifiedocean conditions remained anxious evenafter one week of being placed in seawaterwith normal carbon dioxide levels.Ocean acidification can become more of

a problem in the future as marine life willgrow smaller and smaller in size. Some ofthemarine species’ defensivemechanisms,like shells,wouldnotbeable to grow,whichwill leave them helpless to predators. It isimportant that scientists monitor theocean acidification, do research into solv-ing the problemandprovideways that indi-viduals of the population can do in orderto reduce the impact of ocean acidification.V This column was contributed by Michael HartDavis, a student of Marine Science.

DESIRÉE RORKE@dezzierorke

Forrest Gump had it wrong. Life is not abox of chocolate, it’s a kaleidoscope. In

the flip of a wrist realities are shredded andthe world takes on a totally new shape.Fitting words to depict the experience of

the blind; spoken by executive head FreddieBotha last Wednesday evening when the In-stitute of the Blind celebrated its 135-yearhistory.Tomark the occasion the institute, for the

first timeever, changed itsname. Itwill nowbe known as Kaleidoscope, changing its fo-cus to being a commercially viable entity,with a rousing pay-off line: “Let the blindlead”.This, according to Hein Wagner, Kaleido-

scope’s brand ambassador, places the focuson visually impaired persons as completecitizens in the community capable of takingthe lead in society.

Dinner to mimic blindnessThe point was powerfully illustratedwith

a Dinner in the Dark event, unlike any thisjournalist has ever seen.The windowless dining hall at Langver-

wacht Wine Estate in Kuils River was pitchblack, entered into through a heavilydraped black tunnel to eliminate everypoint of light and shade. This attempted tomimic complete blindness and organisersmade very sure they missed nothing whencellphones, cameras and anything thatcould possibly provide light were confiscat-ed at thedoor in a somewhat fascistmanner.Wagner, who has been blind since birth,

explained total blindness as “not only theabsence of light, but also a complete loss ofdepth perception, the ability to determinedistances between objects and see the worldin three dimensions, with no option of re-prieve”.If thiswasnot immediatelyunderstoodby

diners when they entered the hall, it soonbecamevery clear.Amenacingnothingness– pitch black, heavy and flat – wrapped upyour entire consciousness to threaten yourvery existence.For some, strangely this was a cue to give

way to their inner boisterousness, whereasfor most, I imagine, the darkness was op-pressive.I for one couldn’t keep my eyelids open

after only a few minutes and cowered downto protect myself from the overpoweringdarkness. It is hard to say exactly when

one’s other senses kick in, but mercifullythey do, and when this happens you cansomewhat relate to Wagner when he says“welcome to themagicalworld of the blind”.Wagner, despite his blindness, has many

accomplishments to his name and lived bythe motto that “Impossible is Nothing”.He ran the Antarctica, Two Oceans and

New York marathons, completed severalCape Town Cycle Tours, tackled the whitewaters of the Zambezi River, not tomentionclimbing the ten highest mountains in theWestern Cape. He was the perfect host in a

most bizarre setting – sighted people havingfun at being “blind”.Diners enthusiastically piped out at how

magnificent it was to actually smell the in-gredients in the salads they were eating, asif feta cheese suddenly tasted better – sar-donic, but true.A crew of blind and partially blind wait-

rons were our only salvation and in the pro-verbial land of the blind, Erasmus’s one-eyed man was truly king.Thesewaitrons expertly guided every lost

soul to their exact seats at the tables, to therestrooms when needed, passed the wine,found the cutlery and served a plated threecourse meal. Astonishing.“Blind people in the modern world are of-

ten unseen; invisible to a sighted society,and we want to change that because the

blind have such unlimited potential and somuch to offer to theworld,” saidBotha. “Hu-man awareness can be likened to a kaleido-scope and we know that with a simple twistof perception somuch can be revealed. Thisis what has led us to the new name for therefreshed, revived Institute for the Blind.”The institute presently receives only 15%

of government aid and is therefore solely re-sponsible for the generation of 85% of thetotal operational expenses.“It is therefore important that we should

strive to becomemore self-sustainable to en-sure a future for ourpersonswhoarevisual-ly impaired,” Wagner explains.He says the institute is setting up sustain-

able partnerships with local and interna-tional business entities to strengthen thebrand and grow its product offering. “Byraising the bar in becoming a world leaderin all things blind related, our aim is to in-spire the blind and sighted alike to be suc-cessful – no matter the challenge.”

97% of visually impaired unemployedWagner says the name change reflects an

international character and opens doors tonew opportunities, projects and funding.“A few of our goals include the develop-

ment of a one-stop resource centre for blindand deaf-blind persons at our informationcentre, the establishment of a modern tech-nology training centre at our adult careerdevelopment department, the marketing ofthe institute as one of the best tourist attrac-tions in South Africa, and to establish moreviable partnerships with the corporate sec-tor and businesses as well as to enhance ex-isting partnerships.”He says they are also in the process of

transforming the production units to be-comemore sustainable. Already innovativeproducts have been launched including anew coffee brand, wine etiquettes, cane,weaving, wood, mattress, metal, arts, craftsproduction and sales.Employment is one ofthe biggest challenges the blind face inSouth Africa – this is evident in light of thefact that 97% of the visually impaired areunemployed. “It is also our goal to createmore opportunities for job placement of vi-sually impaired persons in the open labourmarket,” he adds.Public ignorance and society’s general

lack of knowledge of the blind, expensive as-sistive devices and training, inaccessibili-ty, school training and provision of Brailletext books are othermajor challenges the in-stitution faces.

Call on citizenscientistsNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Marine researchers are calling on localsto aid in a research project to map

whale and dolphin species along the coast.Carried out by Sea Search, a collective of

scientists and studentswith a strong prima-ry focus of producing peer-reviewed scien-tific research and student training, theproject aims to study the effects of climatechange on whales and dolphins.South Africa’s coastline is recognised as

a global hotspot for its diversity and abun-dance ofwhale and dolphin species. AroundCape Town alone, five different species ofdolphin can be regularly encountered. Thisis mainly due to the diversity of habitatscreated by the confluence of the cool Ben-guela current along the West coast and thewarm Agulhas current along the East coastwhich meet and mix around the WesternCape.In line with global trends, scientist have

noticed signs of change relating to climatechange along the coast line. However, dueto their hard-to-access habitat and largeranges, whales and dolphins are some of theleast well studied animals with respect toclimate change impacts, explains SeaSearch founder Dr Simon Elwen.“Whales and dolphins (cetaceans) are

amongst the least well studied species withregards to the effects of climate change, andthe impact of changing water temperatureson the species occurring in South Africaspecifically has yet to be studied,” he says.The main concern behind the project is

conservation, Elwen says.“At the end of the day, we caremost about

the protection of our ocean and its species.The marine ecosystem is facing severethreats (including, but not limited to, globalwarming) andwewant to do our part in con-serving and defining areas which need themost protection,” he says.Due to the scope of the project, Sea Search

is calling on citizen scientists to become in-volved in data capturing.Citizen scientists aremembers of the pub-

lic who are keen to actively contribute toscience and research, Elwen explains.“Since scientists cannot have eyes every-

where, and we unfortunately aren’t able tosurvey the entire study area in one day, werely on the help of the public to be our eyesand ears. This increases our data base im-mensely – and more data equals better re-sults – which subsequently helps us to un-derstand the distribution ranges of the spe-cies, and to draw the most accurateconclusions on how these ranges are affect-ed as a result of climate change,” he says.Including the public in the project also

helps create awareness, Elwen says.Data collection for both the sightings

from the public and dedicated boat surveycomponents of the project will run fromMarch this year to March 2017, but the en-tire project will continue until 2018.V Citizen scientist sightings can be submitted directlyvia email to [email protected], or by addingobservations to iSpot Nature (www.ispotnature.org)or through tagging the “Seasearch Sightings” Facebook page in photos or sightings. Submissions shouldinclude as much information as possible.

Hamba kahle for appEARL HAUPT

@EarlHaupt

Hambasafe, the group that has banded to-gether to develop a safety app, has suc-

cessfully held a hack-a-thon whereby fellowtechies have joined their cause.This comes after the idea for the applica-

tion was triggered by Ryan O’Connor,KFM’s breakfast show host, following thespate of brutal crimes affecting teenagers.He then appealed to IT specialists to worktogether on a solution that could track peo-ple using public spaces and share this infor-mation with their loved ones.Sham Moodliar from Hambasafe ex-

plained that thehack-a-thon,whichwasheldatWarehouse 17 at theV&AWaterfront, wasa huge success, and was just the beginning.“People came together from all over Cape

Town and all communities worked for 48hours building a functioning app. Peoplecame together to take action, and they evenworked over the Easter weekend to betterthe app.”The new application will be in app stores

later thismonth and they are currently look-ing for people to test the beta version, whichwill be available to the public in May.“WecertainlyheardRyan’s pleaandbased

on what’s happened over the last few weekswe felt that we needed to do something tohelp,” saidElizabeth Senger, also fromHam-basafe, when she explained how the Hack-a-thon came about.A total of 69 techies signed up for the actu-

al 48-hour hack-a-thon and Senger said thatanumberof additional techies arrivedunan-nounced too.She said that there is already a great mix

of skills at play.“Thankfully, following the call for An-

droid developers, IOS developers, SQL de-velopers, .Net developers, Mobile UI design-

ers, testers and analysts, we had a great mixof techies who demonstrated the true mean-ing of ‘tirelessly working together for a posi-tive outcome’ that addressed a social prob-lem in our city.”People can either join an existing activity

or create one of their ownand thenhave con-trol over who they allow to join the group.Using rigorous security measures – much

like those used by Airbnb and Uber – the de-velopers involved worked hard to create anenvironment in which users feel safe. At theend of each activity the participants are rat-ed so users can start to build their own trustprofile.

Senger said that the process would nor-mally have taken four months planning justto lay out the logistics required for a hack-a-thon of this size, but she explained that itwas not only about the call to action for te-chies.“What we hope to achieve is to get people

to take action and become an active part ofthe solution. Hambasafe is about bringingpeople together. And we’re bringing togeth-er South Africans who wouldn’t normallywork together.”V For more information. visit www.facebook.com/hambasafe/, send an email to hambas[email protected] or check out @hambasafe on Twitter.

A total of 69 techies signed up for the 48hour hackathon, hosted by Hambasafe. Picturedhere are the Hambasafe team responsible for developing a safety app for those who enjoyoutdoor activities.
