Academy plans teed up
EARL HAUPT
@EarlHaupt
P
lans are afoot to establish a golfing foot-
print in theAthlone area after amotion
was submitted to the City of Cape
Towns portfolio committee for approval.
The open plot of land on the corners of
Klipfontein Road and Jakes Gerwel Drive
(erf 32604) has been earmarked as the pro-
posed site for the development of the acade-
my.
Ward councillor Suzette Little says: It is
exciting forme to have a golfing academy on
that particular site, because historically
that was the very first golf course in Athlo-
ne.
That was the site of our very first driving
range. It was not an 18-hole golf course, be-
cause nobody would have built it, but there
was a driving range where people of colour
would practice their golf.
The Kurt Stripp Golf Academy proposed
the development of the academywhich aims
to introduce primary school learners to the
sport with the help of community organisa-
tions in the area.
It was very exciting for me to have a
group of people come through and really
start up and claim a bit of history for our ar-
ea, which is wonderful. I asked them if they
give some reference and find someof the folk
that had played there, that is of course prior
to them to putting up the pylons over there,
adds Little.
Little says the site for the prospective
academywill also stretch to behind Vangate
Mall between Athlone As baseball club and
Bosduif Avenue and on both sides of the Vy-
gieskraal River, which Little says has be-
come a health hazard.
The Vygieskraal River is a problem, be-
cause people are living in the river, I am not
talking about on the banks of the river. I gen-
uinely do not know why. One would have
thought that they would have put it up on
the bank of the river.
They are there and it is used as a dump-
ing site, because some of the shops at Van-
gate Mall are dumping there and if I can get
that river closed and part of the golf course,
it would serve a great purpose, it would help
with many problems that we have in the ar-
ea, explains Little.
She says there will be great interest from
the surrounding areas of Bokmakierie,
Gatesville, Kewtown and Silvertown.
Weare going to have the golf course back.
There will be an opportunity for our young
people to learn a different sport than what
they areused to.Golf is a very exciting sport.
Some of the children in Bokmakierie are ac-
tually just using that Third Avenue sports
field and just knocking around a golf ball.
So it is good and they must have some prop-
er, practical training.
One of the proposals to the development
is that the academy is going to be providing
some of the children with free training.
However, first the motion will need to be
discussed at the next portfolio meeting.
Once that happens, and thenwe start dis-
cussing the ins and outs about how they are
going to go about putting this together. We
can then come back with an answer as to
what we are going to be doing.
Suzette Little, ward 49 councillor, says that
should the development of the golf
academy go ahead, the Vygieskraal River
will be fenced off and become part of the
development.

WATERFRONT
Dog bucks the
trend on site
W
hen visitors to the Clock Tower and Si-
lo Districts report sightings of a fluffy
black dog wearing a luminous yellow con-
struction vest, V&A Waterfront staff smile
and quickly reassure them that Buc is sim-
ply amember of the Silo Districts construc-
tion team.
Every day, Buckaroo the Belgium shep-
herd known to his familiars as Buc ac-
companies owner Paul Edgecome from No-
ordhoek to the Waterfront, where he works
on site as a surveyor. But while contractors
regard Buc as simply amember of the team,
he is greeted with incredulous stares by the
public, who all want to pat him.
And Buc is happy to oblige.
Bucs primary job on site is to guard
Pauls equipment and sense of humour, a
job he doeswell except when drowors is on
offer. Then, according to Paul, his brain
shuts down.
Pauls previous dog, Lupie, used to ac-
companyhim towork everyday aswell. But
four years ago, when he became too old to
do so, Paul paid a visit to the SPCA where
he encountered Buc. Paul says: Buc pretty
much chose me. He immediately ran up to
me and the decision was made.
Paul andBuchave been involvedwith the
Silo District construction project since the
tail end of the now completed No. 1 and No.
2 Silo buildings. They are currently in-
volved with the construction of the remain-
ing No. 3 Silo through to No. 6 Silo, and the
conversion of the historic Grain Silo into
the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Af-
rica.
Initially, Bucwas unsure of the labourers
in their heavy boots, overalls andhardhats,
andbarkedwheneverhe encountered them.
Paul asked the labourers to say hello to
Buc whenever they encountered him, and
their friendly tone soon convinced Buc that
theywere friends. Todayhehappily runsup
to greet them.
During the demolition phases at the Zeitz
MOCAA construction site, Buc needed to
wear special earmuffs, which he did reluc-
tantly. These had to be attached to his con-
struction bib as he sometimes rebelled and
removed them with his paw.
If Buc becomes uncomfortable with the
noise level, he opts for administration
work instead, trotting off to the construc-
tion office around the corner. If the door is
closed but unlocked, hewill open it with his
paw, or hewill nudge someone tounlock the
door for him. While there, he takes a break
from work by napping under Pauls desk.
Unlike his owner, Buc has a head for
heights and will fearlessly travel with the
crew in lifts or up a flight of scaffolding
stairs.
Paul describes Buc as extremely intelli-
gent. He instinctively knows when he can
fool around and when he must behave him-
self. In summerhe is particularly fondof the
office because it is air-conditioned.
Althoughconstruction is dustywork,Buc
cleans up with a good swim in the dam at
the top of Redhill and in the stream at No-
ordhoek Common. Like most dogs, he ap-
preciates a good romp on the beach, but
doesnt do this regularly as Paul battles to
get the sand out of his thick coat.
Bucs work may not be as essential to
the Silo District project as Pauls, who is re-
sponsible for positioning the architectural
and engineering designs on-site for contrac-
tor WBHO, but everyone on site will agree
thathebrings apositive influence to the job.
Although a construction environment is a
stressful one, Bucs presence lightens ev-
eryones mood and has a general calming
influence.
Buc and Paul will remain on site until the
end of the Silo District construction work
at the end of the year.

shepherd working
on the Silo Districts
construction team.
FOND FAREWELLS: Paddy
Gordon will be leaving Table
Mountain National Park as park
manager and will be transferring to

expertise and knowledge to
managing a variety of parks and
especially running a park like Table

with the SanParks policy of rotating
park managers so that they are
able to gain and grasp experience

ma section of the Garden Route
National Park, will become the new
Table Mountain National Park

Metrorails
ticket troubles
GARY VAN DYK
@gvdcapejazz
M
etrorail staffs methods of dealing
with the public have come under the
spotlight after a youngmans experience
left him traumatised.
Liam Brown, 19, from Woodstock
found that pointing out badmanners can
land you in hot water if you deal with
Metrorail staff at Parow Station.
He explains that on Tuesday 28 June
he boarded a train at Woodstock to start
his night shift at a Parow factory.
The problem started when the ticket
box (atWoodstock)was closedwhen I got
there, he says.
Normally this is not a problem, and
there was a number of people who could
not purchase tickets
when they got onto the
train.
When we got to Par-
ow we explained the sit-
uation to the staff at the
barriers and we were
taken to what seemed to
be a canteen or staff ar-
ea because there was
lockers in the room.
From the start the
woman who was there
to write out the tickets
was very rude to the
people. When it came
forme to get a ticket and
I told her that the office
was closed at Wood-
stock, like others had
told her, but she just re-
fused to listen tome and
told me that I must not have an attitude.
I pointed out that she was the one
with attitude because of her rudeness to
the people andhow shemust respect peo-
ple especially older people. That really
upset her and she ordered the other staff
present to searchme and that Imust give
them all of my money.
That is when I panicked and tried to
get away but one of the conductors grab-
bed me and head-butted me and told me
that theywere going to keepme thereun-
til I paid. I tried to explain that theywere
making me late for my shift but they re-
fused to listen to me and because I did
not have a phone asked one of them to
let me call my mother. After I called her
and explained the situation I asked to see
their supervisor but got no help from
him as well.
While Liams mother, Nicky Asher-
Pedro, tried to get family in Ravensmead
to go to the station, he was kept at the
station for about an hour.
My brother-in-law managed to go to
the station and was shocked to see how
distraught Liam was. They tried to con-
vincehim that theyhadnot assaultedmy
son. I just want the public to know their
rights in this type of situation.
Many commuters have reported inci-
dents whereticket offices are closed.
Estelle Mathee works in Woodstock
and adds that many of her staff from as
far afield as the Kuils River and Bellville
areas and in the southern suburbs from
Retreat and Steenberg have experienced
problems.
TrevorVosloo is fromabusiness based
in Claremont who has also experienced
the same problems.
I hope thatMetrorail can assist by in-
forming all their staff at barriers what
the proper process is when people start
their journeys before offices open. We
understand that people must not travel
for free but why must they be punished
for something that is not their fault.
Metrorail spokesperson, Riana Scott,
has responded in a statement: Metro-
rail is obliged to ensure that all commut-
ers travel legally. Travelling without a
valid ticket or in the in-
correct travelling class
for the ticket purchased
is a criminal offence in
terms of the Legal Suc-
cession Act.
Hundreds of fare-
paying commuters
complain daily about
fellow non-paying pas-
sengers. Metrorail re-
serves the right to levy
a booking fee (currently
R40) and/or prosecute
persons without valid
train tickets. Commut-
ers issued with such a
booking fee must insist
on a receipt.
Ticket office hours
are generally deter-
mined by the timetable,
analysis of ticket sales and passenger
numbers using the particular station,
Scott says. Should a ticket office at the
origin station be closed, commuters are
obliged to purchase a ticket either on the
train from teams with portable ticket is-
suing machines or at their destination
station before exiting.
Those found to be in contravention of
the law, are required to wait at the sta-
tion in a designated area until they have
been processed. Many defaulters offer
reasons/explanations/excuses for hav-
ing transgressed the law and Metrorail
employees have the unenviable task to
make a judgment call as to whose emer-
gency is valid or not.
Until modernisation brings automat-
ed ticket vending machines and ticket
scanners, Metrorail currently is left
with no option but to rely on human in-
tervention, Scott says. We do not con-
done any misconduct by our security
personnel or employees and commuters
should not be subjected to unacceptable
behaviour. We encourage individuals to
open a case of assault with the police if
behaviour warrants that or report non-
conforming employee behaviour to
[email protected], citing all
relevant details, all of which will assist
in applying successful disciplinary ac-
tion.

assaulted by Metrorail staff.

Cracking down on illegal poachers, such as
those harvesting abalone, will become easier
after an the signing of an agreement to boost
resources fighting marine poaching.
TheCity of Cape Town and theDepartment
of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (Daff)
have signed an ImplementationProtocol that
paves theway for closer cooperation andmu-
tual support in the fight against illegal ma-
rine resource extraction along the Citys
300km coastline.
Through the Implementation Protocol
withDaff, City lawenforcement officers have
been trained and appointed as fishery con-
trol officers in terms of theMarineLivingRe-
sources Act, with full powers.
The City established a specialised Marine
and Environmental Law Enforcement Unit
in 2013.
The focus of the unit has been marine and
coastal law enforcement, including inshore
boat patrols.
Recent successes by the unit are testament
to the tireless efforts of members of the unit.
These have included the arrest of a shop own-
er in Glencairn for illegal possession of over
800 West Coast rock lobster and the arrest of
nine suspects in Gordons Bay for the illegal
possession of 200 abalone.
Marine resource abuse is an issue that the
local economy andmarine environment can-
not afford, says Mayco member for energy,
environmental and spatial planning Johan
van der Merwe.
Therefore, as the City, it is vital for us to
establish effectiveways of collaboratingwith
partners such asDaff to fight againstmarine-
related transgressions taking place across
the city. Daff has proven to be an invaluable
partner and the expertise that they are bring-
ing to the table is most welcome, he says.
Mayco member for safety and security, JP
Smith, adds: The Protocol will pave the way
for more integrated law enforcement opera-
tions between the City and Daff. It will also
significantly increase the resources, capaci-
ty and effort available for enforcement and
policing of the coastal and marine environ-
ment. Hopefully we will be able to procure
a second large patrol boat soon, also to com-
bat the stripping of our scarce and valuable
marine resources.

SAARTJIE BAARTMAN CENTRE
New wing to
help addicts
T
he Saartjie Baartman Centre forWomen
and Children is preparing to launch a
new wing equipped to house women with
substance dependency issues who are seek-
ing to escape abusive and violent relation-
ships.
As a result a donation drive has been
launched in order to kit out the new wing
with furniture, bedding and clothing. The
community and private sector are invited
to support the centre in raising these neces-
sities.
Currently about 80% of the women who
seek assistance from us test positive for
drugs, says ShaheemaMcLeod, director of
the centre. Our intake profile is changing,
the women are very young, some barely 18-
years-old, and substance abuse is a big is-
sue. Its almost expected.
The Saartjie Baartman Centre, which
was established 17 years ago, has assisted
more than 180 000 victims of crime and vio-
lence. Over and above offering safe shelter,
the centre offers a number of services, in-
cluding short and long-term accommoda-
tion, legal assistance, skills training, coun-
seling for adults and children and a crche
for the children staying at the centre.
Based on our current intake profile, its
become necessary for the centre to offer a
drug in-patient programme to our clients.
We are currently looking into securing
long-term funding for a separate wing,
wherewewill be able to provide a two-week
orientation and detox programme to wom-
en before they transfer to a longer-term
therapeutic stay, says McLeod.
Over the past few years, the organisation
has seen a 65% increase in the number of
women and children from the community
seeking assistance. Violence against wom-
en and children continues to increase, drug
and alcohol abuse is merely fueling an al-
ready volatile situation. The in-patient pro-
gramme will go a long way in assisting
women survivors of violence in getting
back on their feet and fending for them-
selves, concludes McLeod.
Light shed on smart drugs
South Africas Council for Alcohol De-
pendency and Addiction to Drugs (San-
ca) commemorated Drug Awareness
Week last week, which took place from
Friday 24 to Thursday 30 June.
This year, student accommodation
group Stag African, raised concern
about the abuse of so-called smart
drugs by university students.
In a growing and increasingly pres-
sured teriatry education system, some
students are turning to prescription
medications in order to enhance concen-
tration during exams. Alarm has been
raised in South Africa before, but as yet
no quantified data exists on the extent of
the problem. According to Sanca, the
drugs most frequently peddled on South
African campuses are Ritalin and Con-
certa reportedly readily available out-
side campus libraries during exam peri-
ods. A survey conducted by online forum
The Student Room found that one in 10
students in theUnitedKingdomhasused
medications typically used to treat
ADHD for the purpose of studying. A
quarter say they are likely to use them
at somepoint in their university careers.
According to Stag African, the statis-
tics in South Africa may be similarly
concerning.
There arenumerouspressures placed
on students in South Africa that intensi-
fy the drive to turn to prescription drugs
in order to cope with workload. Due to
the on-campus housing shortage, many
students do not have access to universi-
ty-based studying resources such as the
internet or text books. Students oftenend
uppulling all-nighters in the library, due
to long distances and unreliable trans-
port, which makes getting home at night
difficult and at times dangerous, says
John Schooling, Stag Africans director.
Those students that live away from
home can become even more isolated
and desperate, particularly when faced
with the transition from home and
school support structures to largely
anonymous campus residences.
Where a student lives is critical to
their success; these spaces need to be as
supportive as possible, while still ena-
bling the independence students crave,
adds Schooling. Local and international
research has demonstrated that residen-
ces built to be living communities pro-
vide students with better support and
healthier lifestyles than large-scale
housing or isolated flats.
Schooling says Stag student houses
provide an important, comfortable struc-
ture to students by keeping resident
numbers low, integrating top-notch tech
and encouraging communal cooking and
study. The pressures of workload and
adult life still present a challenge to stu-
dents but providing community struc-
ture and adequate accommodation will
help curb unhealthy habits, ridiculous
hours and the substance consumption
that comes hand in hand with that.

L
wando Zinto from Phillipi is the pride of
Violets Rugby Club based in Kenwyn.
On Tuesday 21 June he stood proud at the
Newlands Rugby Stadium to be capped as
part of theWesternProvince u.18 squad tak-
ing part in the Craven Week schools rugby
tournament this week.
This is a unique achievement as he is the
only club rugby representative that will get
to don the famous blue and white hooped
jersey in the high schools category at the
tournament this year.
Getting into the side was not easy and it
took some help from a schools coach at
Groote SchuurHigh tohelpmake thedream
a reality.
Lwando explains that he is originally
from the Eastern Cape where he already
represented the EP Academy team but the
family had to move to Cape Town at the end
of 2015.
The strapping prop had to attend Sine-
themba Secondary School in Phillipi but he
was not prepared to give up his passion for
playing rugby.
I was advised to approach Moegamat
(MG) Gallant who is the head of rugby as
well as the director of the life coaching pro-
gramme at Groote Schuur High School. He
is also the director of coaching at Violets
Rugby Club and that meeting made the dif-
ference, he says.
Gallant says when he met with Lwando
he knew that the youngmanwas passionate
about his aims in life especially his dream
to play rugby.
He spoke to me with passion and deter-
mination, says Gallant.
One thing that stood out for me that
morningwas that Lwandowas crystal clear
in the vision he had for himself. I decided
immediately tohelpLwando to reachhis de-
sired goal because life coaching works best
when a person is clear about what they
want to achieve.
Gallant added that Lwandos commit-
ment was evident from the moment he in-
structed the player to attend a club training
session. I knew he would have a transpor-
tation challenge but I needed to test his com-
mitment and I purposefully left him to find
his own way to the Violets Sports Grounds
in Kenwyn. I was not surprised to see him
being the first arriving player at the train-
ing session later that day.
Thatmemorablemeetinghas led to his in-
clusion in the Western Province schools
team that is taking part in the competition
in Durban starting on Thursday 7 July.
Being selecteded to play for WP is a
dream come true, says Lwando. Im look-
ing forward to making my club, my parents
and coach proud when I run out there in
representation of the blue and white.

C
hildren in theHanoverPark area
were given the opportunity to
take part in a winter school holiday
programme at Voorspoed Primary
School last week.
The programme, run by the West-
ern Cape Education department
(WCED), forms part of the Safe
Schools directorate.
Reginald Esau, Principal of Voor-
spoed Primary School, says having
the school able to facilitate such a
programme has been a boon for the
community.
It is an opportunity to keep our
learners safe from the issues in the
environment, to create a safe haven
for them. It gives them an opportu-
nity to utilise some of that energy,
get involved with games and devel-
op some skills in a safe, controlled
environment. It keeps them busy
when they are sometimes up to mis-
chief at home.
He says that the programme also
helps alleviate the burden on work-
ing parents who may not be able to
take time off to spend with their
children during the holidays.
Attendance numbers grew as the
week progressed with around 120
learners taking part in the daily ac-
tivities.
Learners will tell other learners
lets go to school, we are having fun
and enjoying ourselves keeping our-
selves busy, adds Esau.
Meanwhile, Debbie Schfer, pro-
vincial minister for education, says
although it would be ideal to have
these programmes running
throughout the holiday period, bud-
get constraints to not allow for it.
We have it at many schools, but
obviously everything comes down
to budget, sowe really try and do ev-
erything possible that we can do as
far as the budget allows. Our budget
is severely constrained at the mo-
ment.
Whatwedo is tryandensure that
we do what we can and also work in
cooperation with the City of Cape
Town to maximise our resources to
roll it out as best we can, but it is
not always possible to do it the
whole holidays, explains Schfer.
Along with the programme at
Voorspoed Primary School, the
WCED Safe Schools Directorate has
organised various holiday pro-
grammes for learners in all seven of
the other education districts.
The programme covers life skills
and teambuilding, substance abuse,
gangsterism and conflict resolu-
tion.
Schfer addressed the learners
and ensured they knew the Safe
Schools Hotline number
(0800 45 46 47).
Parents and learners can call the
Safe Schools Hotline to request sup-
port or assistance. I was so im-
pressed by the enthusiasm dis-
played by the learners, who said
theywerehavingagreat time, adds
Schfer.
She urges all parents and caregiv-
ers, especially those who have full-
time jobs, to ensure that their chil-
dren are supervised during the re-
mainder of the school holidays.
This is an opportune time to pro-
mote continued reading and I urge
you to encourage your children to
visit their local library, she says.
Esau hopes that that this pro-
grammewill act as a springboard to
a more regular programme which
can be rolled out for the duration of
the school year.
This is something similar we as
a schoolwant to embarkonaweekly
basis after school hours in next
term. Safe Schools have committed
themselves in assisting us in getting
something similar going at least
once a week.

A
s the holy month of Ramadaan draws to
a close later this week, Muslim families
across the world are preparing for Eidul
Fitr.
However, with Ramadaan taking place
during the cold winter months in Cape
Town, many are in dire need of nutrition
and warmth.
The organisation Nakhlistan was estab-
lished 32 years ago by three friends who re-
alised that their neighbours in Athlone did
not have food for Eid celebrations.
Nakhlistan started with only two pots of
food, but now, 32 years later, the organisa-
tion will aim to cook 169 pots (130F in size)
of Aknie to feed over 85 000 of the less fortu-
nate on the day of Eidul Fitr.
That is why they chose the name Nakh-
listan, a Persian word that means oasis,
says Fatima Allie, spokesperson for Nakh-
listan.
Nakhlistan has called on the community
ofAthlone towitness this cookingphenome-
non, the night before Eidul Fitr at the Cal-
lies rugby field in Noll Avenue, Rylands Es-
tate and see how 4.5 tons of meat, 3.7 tons
of rice, 2.5 tons of potatoes and 1.5 tons of
onions, together with spices, is cooked on
wood fire. The smell of the burning woods,
the steam and aroma from the huge pots are
a sight to behold, says Allie.
The cooking takes place either on either
Tuesday 5 or Wednesday 6 July.
Nakhlistan pioneered the cooking of
these huge pots of food on a wood fire and
Allie said that the they are pleased to see
how other organisations are following suit.
Nakhlistan, even though it is Muslim-
based, caters for all the needy in the West-
ern Cape, regardless of their religious back-
ground.
Muslims are obliged to pay alms to the
needy and during the month of Ramadaan,
when Muslims fast from before sunrise to
after sunset, Nakhlistan is that vehicle to
distribute these alms via food parcels and
cooking big pots of Aknie, an aromatic
meat, potatoes and rice dish, she adds.
Anyone is welcome to sponsor a pot of
Aknie at a cost of R2800.
Nakhlistan relies solely on the support
from our generous community.
Nakhlistan thanks all our donors, spon-
sors, businesses, community and volun-
teers for their loyal support over the past
32 years and wish all Muslims a Ramadaan
Kareem, says Allie.
Nakhlistan will still distribute soup,
sandwiches and blankets to areas affected
by the winter weather.
Anotherproject ofNakhlistan is its opera-
tional soup kitchen in Gaza, Palestine.
V Nakhlistan is operational throughout the year.
Those who would like to donate can do drop off the
items off at 45 Murton Road, Rylands Estate. For any
more information contact Shukoor Mowzer on
021 633 4016 or 083 231 9279 or send an email to in-
[email protected] or visit www.nakhlistan.org.za.

LEGAL TALKWITH DENZIL
When is it murder?
Over the past few years there has
beenmuch debate about the differ-
ence between murder and culpa-
ble homicide.
It is only recently, with the Os-
car Pistorius trial, that the differ-
ence between the two concepts has
been debated and become a hot
topic on social media. It has cer-
tainly raised interesting yet con-
troversial issues.
This is largely controversial and
not clear as one would think, espe-
cially after the Supreme Court of
Appeal set aside the finding and
conviction of the court a quo on
culpable homicide of Pistorious,
and substituting it with a finding
of murder. As a consequence, the
accused sentence was trumped up
to a minimum of 15 years.
Murder is a serious offence and
can be punishable by a minimum
sentence of up to 15 years to life.
Culpable homicide is less serious
and could be punishable by only a
few years depending upon the cir-
cumstances.
The assumption by some laypeo-
ple is that if an accused kills a vic-
tim, the action is automatically
perceived as murder. That posi-
tion is incorrect.
As a result of the above percep-
tion, many asked the question:
Why Oscar was not charged with
murder as opposed to the the less-
er crimeof culpablehomicide?As
we know this has now been substi-
tuted and his charge has now been
changed to murder and we are
awaiting the sentence that fits the
revised charge.
In a nutshell, the difference be-
tween the charges is rather sim-
ple: murder requires intention
while the culpable homicide re-
quires negligence.
Murder is the intentional, un-
lawful killing of another human
being. Murder therefore requires
that the accused acted with the in-
tention to kill. In other words, the
accused strategically planned the
unlawful act of murder. Alterna-
tively, it can be legal intention
as discussed below.
Culpable homicide, however, is
deemed a potentially unforeseea-
ble, unplanned accident.
The fundamental question, from
a criminal law perspective, did the
accused actwith the intentionnec-
essary for a charge of murder?
In recent years the concept of in-
tention has extended to cover not
just deliberatebut foreseeable con-
duct.
The accused does not mean nor
intend for the unlawful act to hap-
pen, but he must have foreseen
that it might happen. This is re-
ferred to as dolus eventualis.
An example of dolus eventualis
is where someone decides to burn
a block of apartments occupying
20 families.
Hemight not have had the clear
intention to kill anyone in the
apartments but the law recognises
that he intended the death of some
people by his actions. In essence,
by foreseeing the possibility of
death (however remote) and act-
ing regardless, he had the inten-
tion to commit murder.
Importantly, the accused does
not have to foresee the result as a
probable outcome of his conduct,
but he must at least have foreseen
the outcome as a possibility.
In a nutshell, the test for dolus
eventualis is whether the accused
foresaw the remote possibility of
harm. It is then deemed legal in-
tention and the charge will be
murder.
Culpable homicide, likemurder,
is a form of unlawful killing. The
difference is that murder is inten-
tional, whereas culpable homicide
is a negligent act of killing.
How does the court draw that
distinction?
The court uses an objective test
to ascertain if the act was negli-
gent. In otherwords, to shownegli-
gence the Prosecution must show
that a reasonable man in the po-
sition of the accused, would not
have foreseen the death as a result
of the consequences.
The question is therefore: did
the accused foresee the possibility
of killing someone when he fired
the gun (culpable homicide) or
must the accused have foreseen
the possibility of killing someone
(murder)?
The test is one of the reasonable
man the court will examine
what the objective circumstances
of a reasonable man would have
been in the situation of the ac-
cused.
The conclusion of the examina-
tion will determine the outcome.

Mile on-ramp and the Tokai
off-ramp.
My car was sideswiped by an
out-of-control vehicle which flew
on for about 50 meters and slid
off into the ditch.
Thankfully, I was in the right
lane and was able to stop, turn
on hazards and move off the
road into the emergency lane.
A few moments later a metro
police vehicle arrived and
seeing my hazards and my
flashing lights turned back and
took control.
I just want to say how
re-assuring, comforting and
organised they were.
There was also a Kirstenhof
neighbourhood community
officer, Hadyn, who was simply
marvellous and transported me
to Kirstenhof Police Station
where again I received the
upmost courtesy.
I was advised not to attempt
to drive my car and agreed to
accept the assistance and advice
of an AA affiliated recovery
agent.
As I am a member of the AA
I saw no problem with that, but
in the next few days the release
cost of the vehicle was a
problem and resulted in a delay
in my car being sent for
assessment and repair.
However the purpose of this
letter is in praise of our very
overworked police force and our
dedicated emergency workers
who have to deal with all these
situations many much more
horrific than mine.
We get daily negative reports
about our police force so I think
in my case a little praise is in
order.
The good news is that there
were no serious injuries to the
many occupants of the unli-
censed vehicle, driven by an
uninsured and unlicensed
driver.
My most sincere thanks to all
who were involved.

In honour of Mandela Day, Peoples Post
will be reaching out to the children of Patri-
cias Home of Hope in Vrygrond and we
want our readers to be part of the celebra-
tion.
The facility is part of the Eniwe Chil-
drens Fund whose mission is to improve
the lives of abandoned andunderprivileged
children through various housing, feeding
and skills development initiatives in the
Western Cape. At present the home in Vry-
grond cares for 13 children (eight boys and
five girls) with ages ranging from 2 to 15
and our readers can help us help themwith
some of their needs.
To feed these children costs R7000 every
month and while cash donations are wel-
come,Peoples Postwants to assistwith gro-
cery donations like samp and beans, pap,
split peas, lentils, canned foods, vegetables,
pasta, pasta sauce, juices,milk, butter, jam.
There is also a need for shampoo, soap,
toothpaste and sanitary pads.
Donations of warm clothes and shoes
(new or second-hand) for the children will
also be welcomed.

be replaced, tiling or flooring for the facili-
ty needs attention. A new bathroom suite,
hot water geyser and painting will also add
comfort.

second-hand fridge in good working order
and a washing machine to hold a bigger
than normal load.

The Catholic Welfare Developments
(CWD) Cultural Hub in Athlone, in collabo-
ration with the Young Filmmakers Pro-
grammeare conducting a freeworkshop on
producing television and film.
The programme will take place at the
Catholic Welfare and Development offices
in Lawrence Road on Wednesday 6 July as
well as Wednesday 13 July.
The workshop seeks to give learners
from the community the opportunity to ex-
plore a potential career path that they
might not have thought available to them.
In addition, the fees at any of the film
schools operating in South Africa make ac-
cess to them impossible for learners and
their parents from these communities.
The programme was conceptualised by
Quinton Fredericks, who, having grownup
on the Cape Flats, and as a former gang
member and subsequent political activist
in the anti-apartheid struggle, is intimately
familiar with the devastating impact of
both criminal and political violence on the
fabric of South African society and the psy-
ches of our youth.
The workshops will cover camera work,
hair and make-up, storytelling, script writ-
ing and some aspects of the business of the
industry by established producers.

offices in Lawrence Road on 021 696 9253 or send

Bringing together the community

T
heres more to the Wetton Triangle Feed-
ing Scheme than filling hungry tummies
in the southern suburbs.
This is a project that is making residents
in the area meet each other as neighbours
and working for a good cause.
Chairperson of the organisation, Waheed
Amod, explains that the idea started in 2014
when, along with three other friends in-
volved in the neighbourhood watch, he real-
ised that people in the area did not know
each other and there was a need to care for
the homeless in surrounding areas. During
our patrolswe realised that therewas a need
for people to become real neighbours and
interact with each other.What better way to
get to know each other by working together
in a project like this where we show that we
care about the less fortunate.
Two years later and theyre going strong
as they gathered at a home in Canal Road,
Wetton, on Sunday 3 July where the team
was cooking up a storm for distribution.
A delicious aroma fills the air from steam-
ing pots on gas cookers with the children
helping to pack bread and lots of laughter as
preparations continue for their mission.
Currently we feed areas such as Wetton,
Lansdowne, Wynberg, Retreat, Diep River,
Muizenberg, Mitchells Plain, Athlone, Phil-
lipi and expanding to areas such as Laven-
der Hill and Delft, continues Amod.
We enjoy that we are able to feed the un-
derprivileged throughout the year but you
can see that its about more than that. Its
getting all in the area involved. Our aim is
also to set a trend and inspire other neigh-
bourhoods to reach out and start projects to
help the underprivileged. It can be in a for-
mat of cooking foodonceamonth to teaching
other skills thats not fortunate to study so
they can use the knowledge they gained to
help their community.
Amod adds that all the cooking is funded
by the generous residents of Wetton, along
with friends and acquaintances of the steer-
ing committee. The schemes goal is to feed
as many people as possible and is keen to
partner with other organisations who want
to assist us, or need our help. We also would
urge business to get involved in projects in
their community and to help those trying to
make a difference.

10 NEWS
In the build up to the International Aids
Conference in Durban (Monday 18 to Satur-
day 22 July), a local exhibition of 17 quilts
made by people affected by HIV will tell the
story of what has been achieved since the
last time the conference was held in South
Africa in the year 2000.
TB/HIV Care Association, a Cape Town
based NGO, was only one of several organi-
sations South African National Aids Coun-
cil (Sanac) approached to create quilts.
In 2000, antiretroviral treatment was not
yet widely available, stigma and discrimi-
nation were widespread and the outlook
was bleak.
These quilts tell a very different story.
South Africa now has the largest antire-
troviral treatment programme in theworld,
a mother-to-child transmission rate of less
than two percent and has witnessed an in-
crease of more than 10 years in life expect-
ancy over the past decade, says Zolani Bar-
nes, manager of TB/HIV Care. These visu-
al stories provide valuable insight into the
lives behind the statistics.
TB/HIV Care unveiled the quilts at an
event at Haas Collective on Buitenkant
Street on Thursday 23 June.
The 4m quilts tell the stories of the people
whomade them people involved in the or-
ganisations programmes, including people
who inject drugs, sex workers and prison
inmates, as well as those dedicated to sup-
porting them.
Three of theseunique andpowerful tapes-
tries of life were auctioned on the night and
all of the quilts will be submitted to the in-
ternational HIVQuilt Project to be sewn in-
to themain quilt of more than 100 000 quilts
from all over the world.
Sewing the story of progress
This quilt, one of those on display by TB/HIV
Care, symbolises the journey of women who
were and are still most affected by HIV.
O
n Sunday 3 July the TwoOceans Aquari-
um and organisations around the world
marked International Plastic Bag Free Day.
The day aims to raise awareness about the
unnecessary use of single-use plastic bags.
TheTwoOceansAquariumsupports aban
of single use plastic shopping bags in South
Africa through its Rethink the Bag cam-
paign.
The campaign was launched by Hayley
McLellan, the aquariums environmental
campaigner, who has worked tirelessly
since 2010 to educate, establish partnerships
and promote the campaign.
Many countries around the world have
banned these bags. Rwanda did so in 2008
and more recently the island chain of Ha-
waii, Mauritius and Madagascar. France
will have banned the bag by end 2016.
Single-use shopping bags have a tremen-
dous impact on the environment, McLellan
says.
South African consumers use approxi-
mately eight billion shopping bags each
year. Of these about 96% end up in landfill
and also threaten the lives ofmarine and ter-
restrial animals. Research has shown that
the average functioning lifespan of a shop-
ping bag is approximately 20 minutes,
whereafter it is discarded, she says.
Every day we hear about what is going
wrong in the environment and this can feel
disempowering. Always choosing reusable
bags, rather than plastic bags, is such a sim-
ple way for each person to do something to
benefit our world and feel like they aremak-
ing a difference, seemingly against the
odds.
There is also an economic impact for
South African consumers, McLellan says.
In 2003 a levy was included in the price
of each shopping bag sold in South Africa.
Between 2004 and 2014, R1.2bn was collected
through this levy. Only R200m of thismoney
has been allocated to the Department of En-
vironmental Affairs. In 2011 the company
that was established to manage the funds
generated by the bag levy, was disbanded.
However, consumers continue topay thebag
levy every time they purchase a single-use
plastic shopping bag.
Eighty percent of all marine litter is plas-
tic and plastic bags can last between 500 and
1000 years before they degrade.
V To show your support of the Rethink the Bag cam-
paign, visit www.rethinkthebag.org and sign the peti-
tion to urge the government to ban plastic bags
Take plastic out of the ocean
Eighty percent of all marine litter is plastic,
which is why the Two Oceans Aquarium is
joining organisations around the world to
mark International Plastic Bag Free Day.

Building concerts,
from the fans up
LOUISA STEYL
@LouSteyl
T
womusic fans have started a new project
which they hope might revolutionse the
South African live music industry.
Inspired by an American crowd-funding
campaign, Sea Points Richard Theunissen
and Stuart Walsh from Parklands recently
launched their website Inbound Sound.
In a nutshell, the website givesmusic fans
the opportunity to request the artists they
want to see live in their city.
Stuart and I are big fans of
the Foo Fighters, Richard
explains. We got wind of a
concert that was crowd-fund-
ed in America two years ago
and thatwas before itwas an-
nounced that they would be
coming to South Africa.
At that stage, crowd fund-
ing was still a relatively new
concept, and although its
grown generally on a global
scale, Richard points out that
its still relatively new in
SA.
People are a little scepti-
cal. Generally the first ques-
tion they ask is: Why do we
need to give our money away
first?, and its understanda-
ble.
Richard explains that he and Stuart see
their role in the industry as educators on the
benefits of crowdfundingwhile empowering
fans to make concerts happen. He says
many music fans seem to be frustrated with
not being able to see their favourite acts live.
Inbound Sound allows fans to request a
concert by any artists, across genres, wheth-
er they are local or international, commer-
cial or lesser-known.
Once a concert has been requested, Rich-
ard andStuart,workingwith industry insid-
ers, calculate how much would need to be
raised to set the concert up and the show is
opened to pledges from other fans who may
also want to see the show.
Fanswho pledge a contribution to the con-
cert have essentially already bought their
tickets and once enough funds have been
raised, Richard and Stuart will work with
promotors to bring the act to local shores.
We are basically just providing the plat-
form.
Should they not be able to raise the funds
needed, fans will be able to get a full refund,
making sure they dont pay for a show they
wont see.
The feedback weve received [so far] has
been phenomenal, and thats very encourag-
ing were on to something that people
want.
While many of the shows already request-
ed on the website are for international acts,
Richard says: Were big on local music.
In fact, theyre hoping their first success
story will be staging a show for a local act.
The local music scene,
bothmainstreamandniche,
is massive, and we want to
tap into that.
The duo are already in
talks with local artists and
while Richard says it may
take a couple of months to
get the first concert off the
ground, once that first con-
cert has happened its basi-
cally going to revolutionise
whereandwhenartists play
locally.
Because they are dealing
with other peoples mon-
ey, Stuart and Richard
were very focused on mak-
ing sure that everything
was above board and as
transparent and open as
possible when they created
the website.
Users need to log in to the site before mak-
ing pledges and Richard assures that shows
wont be left on a site indefinitely. If a pro-
posed concert hasnt gained momentum aft-
er a fewmonths, theyll take the showoff and
refund the users who have pledged. Users
can also request a refund at any point,
should their personal financial situations
change. Were not looking to take advan-
tage.
Richard also stresses that Inbound
Sounds core function is to be a crowd fund-
ing site. They want to work with promotors
and venues, but have no aspirations of tak-
ing over their roles.
Inbound Sounds role rather, is giving
fans a voice and a choice Historically
theyve never had a say, he says of the acts
who travel to South Africa. All you need is
a lot of people with the same idea.
V For more information about Inbound Sound, to re-
quest a concert, or to see which concerts are open for
pledges, visit www.inboundsound.co.za.
Richard Theunissen is one of
the fans behind Inbound
Sound.
A Cape Town ice skater will be among the
international stars out on the ice when Dis-
ney On Ice presents Worlds of Enchantment
comes to the Grand Arena.
Hes already performed in front of thou-
sands of audiences around theworld, includ-
ingmany celebrities, but Quiesto Spier-
ingshoek counts the opportunity to
perform inhis home city as one of the
highlights of his career.
Quiestos ice skating career start-
ed thanks to fellow South African
Disney On Ice Skater, Nicole Ru-
dolph,who skatedwithDisneyOn Ice
celebrates 100 Years of Magic dur-
ing its 2014 South African
tour.
My skating journey began
when I was 11-years-old. My
best friend introducedme into
the sport and you can say the
rest is history.
Quiesto started training at
the Junior Blades Club while being coached
by Chris Stokes and Dantin Broodryk and
went on to win the Junior Grand Prix Gold
dance medal (compulsory dances) at the
Junior Worlds in 2007 and 2008.
After his success as a professional skater,
Quiesto tookup teaching; trainingyoungup-
and-coming figure skaters at GrandWests
Ice Station.
When Nicole sent her audition tapes to
Disney on Ice, she included a few clips of her
routines with Quiesto and in 2011 he also
joined the company. One can say I was for-
tunate and lucky, he says.
While he wants to surprise Cape Town au-
diences with which character hell be bring-
ing to life when he performs at the Grand
Arena fromWednesday 6 to Sunday 10
July, Quiesto has already had a
chance to playmany of Disneys be-
loved characters.
This years Disney on Ice produc-
tion, Worlds of Enchantment, will
feature characters from The Little
Mermaid, Cars, Toy Story 3 and Fro-
zen, along with Mickey Mouse, Min-
nie Mouse, Donald Duck and
Goofy. Cape Town audiences
will enjoy the show because it
is a show of all ages, filled with
loads of characters, humour
and fun, Quiesto says, refer-
ring to the characters and sto-
ries thatwill be brought to life.
The show promise to excite, ignite and cap-
tivate audiences from start to end.
After his performances in his hometown,
Quiesto will return to the United States
where hell be working on Disney on Ices
next production, Dare to Dream.
VWorlds of Enchantment will be staged at the Grand-
