IT IS day five of the bus industry strike andcommuters are bearing the brunt as theyhave to look for alternative ways of travel-ling.The strike, which began on Friday, was

called after unions and bus companies couldnot reach an agreement during the bargain-ing stage of wage increase negotiations.A deserted Cape Town Bus Terminus was

the immediate result of the strike and hadcommuters gnashing their teeth in frustra-tion.Wilfred Hermanus has to travel from the

city centre to Rocklands, Mitchell’s Plain towork.He was forced to consider other forms of

transport, but still questions the authorities’inability to tackle the situation.“There should have been plans in place to

address this problem. I hate using a taxi be-cause of past experiences, but now I’mforced to because Imust be atwork,”he says.“I really hope this can end soon.”Tharwat Davidson struggled to find other

ways to get to Elsies River as she “hates us-ing the taxi”.“They drive like pigs and have no respect

for other road users,” she says.Davidson also wishes that the strike could

just come to an end.“I know bus drivers intend on showing

how important they are to the public, but

they must also understand that they areplaying with people’s lives here,” she says.Companies have offered a 6,5% wage in-

crease, but unions are demanding 18%, witha minimum salary of R8 000 per monthacross employee categories, ahousingallow-ance of R1 800 per month, 90 days sick leaveand additional contributions to medical aidand retirement funding.GoldenArrowBusServices employees are

participating in the strike, which means allbus services have been suspended until anagreement is reached.The nationwide protest sees members of

the SATransport andAlliedWorkers’ Unionand the Transport and Omnibus WorkersUnion participating in the industrial strikeaction.Brett Herron, the Mayoral Committee

member for Transport, Roads and Stormwa-ter, says a trafficmanagement plan has beenimplemented tomanage the flowof traffic onmain routes. “The strike does not seem tohave caused a significant increase in trafficvolumes across the City,” he says.The Cape Chamber of Commerce indicat-

ed that it was mindful of the transport chal-lenges that may be experienced by employ-ees and encouraged businesses to be lenientand permit employees to work flexiblehours.This allowed the peak travelling hours to

be flattened and minimised the disruption,Herron adds.

HUNDREDS of people from across the city areexpected to take to the streets next week topromote “solidarity” among dagga users.

Organised by the National Organisation forthe Reform of Matekwane Laws in South Afri-ca, NORMLZA and Iqela Lentsango: The Dag-ga Party of South Africa, the Cape Town Glo-bal Cannabis March on Saturday 4 May willbe attended by those who support the legalisa-tion of the plant as an “economic resource forpublic benefit”.

Jeremy Acton, the leader of the Dagga Partywhich is registered for the 2014 national elec-

tions, says participants will be cele-brating their diversity, unity and mu-tual respect for each other and theherb.

The party’s newsletter, The Dag-gablad, says dagga was one of themany traditional smokes used by Af-ricans before the advent of the Dutchand British empires.

It was also a source of fibres and theseeds were a valuable source of hu-man nutrition.

Dagga was first outlawed in SouthAfrica in 1911.

“If one views the police’s daggaprosecution statistics, it is clear thatdagga use is a very common practiceand should be regarded as a legiti-mate historical cultural practiceamong citizens which should be re-spected by narcotics laws and by theBill of Rights of our Constitution,” thenewsletter reads.

“Dagga law enforcement costsSouth Africa millions of rands to im-prison otherwise law-abiding and eco-nomically active people. The legalisa-tion of dagga would allow the policeto have their workload lightened, al-lowing them to deal with real crimesthat have real victims, such as theft,murder, assault and fraud.”

Acton says it is important that leg-islation legalises dagga and that thisis “carefully crafted to maximise thebenefits and minimise any harms andits control by a ‘dagga elite’”.

“The benefits go far beyond merelyallowing adults freedom of choice tosmoke or ingest weed, which is medi-cally beneficial to all users of theplant,” he says.

“Legalisation would allow all poorcitizens to become producers of re-sources and poverty will thus begreatly alleviated.”

States in the US where medical marijua-na has been legalised have also seen reduc-tions in traffic accidents, road fatalities,drunk driving arrests, violent and domes-tic crimes, hard drug use and the suiciderate in young men, he adds.

But not all are in favour of dagga beinglegalised.

Mercia Samuelson cannot stomach thesweet smell of dagga smoke, describing itas “a poison crippling the youth”.

She blames dagga for starting the down-ward spiral of her only son’s obsession withchasing “temporary highs”.

Shaun died of a heroin overdose fouryears ago shortly before his 21st birthday.

“He started smoking dagga with hisfriends when he was 16,” she recalls. “De-spite my nagging, he didn’t consider hishabit serious because everyone was doingit.”

Over time, she noticed gradual changesin his personality. “Shaun went from being

a pleasant, clever child to a paranoid personconvinced the world was out to get him. Hedropped out of school the next year andwalked around in a semi-conscious state,staring at the world through dead, bloodshoteyes.”

One night he didn’t come home.“He was gone for two months,” Mercia

says. “Then one day, out of the blue, he wasback. But the boy who returned wasn’t myShaun. He was a half-crazy, drug-addictedmonster.”

At 18, her once talkative, intelligent sonhad turned into an unstable, aggressivethief.

“I watched the life in him die. I prayed forhim, no matter how many times he stolefrom my house, attacked me or ran away.But the day he died all I felt was relief.”

Mercia believes dagga served as a gatewaydrug for her child’s battle with addiction. “Itstarts small, but escalates into an uncontrol-lable itch which needs something strongerto be scratched. Whenever I get a whiff of

that sickening substance, I wonder ifthe person puffing that joint knowshe is slowly destroying his life.”

Dr Ellapen Rapiti, a general practi-tioner and drug counsellor, says con-trary to popular arguments of daggabeing a natural substance and notharmful to the user, research hasproven the drug has a negative im-pact on the body, specifically thebrain. “It has been found to slowdown reflexes and response time, itincreases the heart rate and puts us-ers at greater risk of lung disease,”he explains.

“Mentally, it affects the IQ and con-centration levels of adolescents,leads to psychosis and makes peoplewith a family history of mental ill-ness more susceptible to schizophre-nia.”

He is adamant the negative side-ef-fects outweigh the good, relaxing eu-phoria smokers get after a joint. Heagrees that dagga is a gateway drug,basing this on research he has donein poorer areas where 99% of drug ad-dicts admitted to first using dagga.

“Despite this, I do feel it should bedecriminalised,” Rapiti says. “It is aphenomenon which clearly cannotbe policed. These resources, of whichthere already is a shortage, shouldrather be used to fight serious crimesin our communities.”

A more effective use of moneyspent on policing is education. “Letpeople know what they are doing sothey can make an informed choice.Promote information to the ill effectsof this substance so that it can leadto its eradication from our society.”

Puffing on a perfectly rolled joint,Evan Reed savours the effect of the“natural herb” which has split socie-

ty’s opinions of drugs for years.Reed has been smoking about 12 joints

“like cigarettes” every day for the past 16years.

The father of two argues that not everyonewho smokes weed experience behaviouralproblems or goes on to chase a stronger high.

“I am 34 and have never even tried any[other] drugs,” he says.

“Smoking has never caused me to becomeviolent or turn to crime. Don’t blame the sub-stance, blame the smoker.”

He lights his first joint when he wakes upat 05:30 and his last before going to bed.

“What I smoke doesn’t affect how I act. Iam a father of two, have been married for10 years and have been a loyal employee atan electrical company for 15 years. I couldbe anyone, and the only difference betweenme and anyone else is I enjoy relaxing witha joint.”V Protesters will meet at the corner of Keizersgrachtand Chapel streets, Cape Town at 10:00 on Saturday4 May for a “Festive Walk” through the CBD.

OVERCROWDING, alleged drug dealingand alcohol sales, unsavoury characters loi-tering around the entrances and crime-re-lated issues all surround Heylon Court inSea Point’s Main Road.Residents are now keeping their fingers

crossed in hopes that problems at the blockof flats will remain dormant.For years, residents had been battling to

gain some answers to the issues at the courtand only recently started seeing things turnaround.Ward councillor Beverley Schafer met

with a unit owner, who asked to remainanonymous, at the block last week in orderto get a better idea of the problems residentsare facing.“One of the owners has come to the party

and has vowed towork closely with the Cityof Cape Town and other role players to finda positive way forward,” she says.Schafer confirms that cameras have now

been installed on every floor of the blockand the owners have undertaken to ensurethat proper background checks are done onall new tenants.There are also plans to introduce night-

time security guards at the building to ad-dress the ongoing complaints regarding thecrime-related issues.“Upon inspection, I found that the build-

ing was actually really clean inside. This ismore of an issue of the tenants inside thebuilding rather than the building itself,”she says.One of the majority owners of the flats

currently resides overseas. Schafer says

that many of the overseas-based owners’flats are also to blame for the problems.“We understand that he never comes in

to check up on the flats. It has also come toour attention that most of his flats are theproblem,” Schafer says.Sea Point resident Adriaan Botha is elat-

ed that there is now a way forward.“Wereallyhope the issues at this building

can be resolved. Some of the residentsaround here have been battling to find solu-tions to these problems. After meeting withthe managing agents, we hope things canchange,” he says.Botha believes the owners of the units are

not to blame, and that the tenants shouldtake responsibility.The surrounding residents suggested that

proper security measures be implemented.“It’s not nice seeing these sorts of activi-

ties. It is not fair for the surrounding resi-dents to be exposed to this,” Botha says.Heather Tager, the chairperson of the Sea

Point Community Police Forum, explainsthat the CPF has in the past been involvedwith various agencies and police in tryingto tackle the problems at Heylon Court.“We are verymuch aware of the concerns

around this building and we have been in-formed that the owners are tackling the sit-uation,” she says.This past weekend, Tager confirms that

drugs were once again found inside one ofthe flats. She hopes that talks about intro-ducing further security at the building willmaterialise.“We have been informed that is what the

owners intend to do and we hope it hap-pens,” Tager says.

ALMOST THREEmonths after the death ofDawnsy Mieny, no arrests have yet beenmade.Mieny died on 5 February after falling

from a cliff into a quarry in Bo-Kaap.The 47-year-old and her daughter, Jas-

min, were on their way to the Cape TownStadium to watch the Red Hot Chilli Pep-pers perform. They had taken a shortcutfrom Bo-Kaap.Mieny is originally from Jeffreys Bay in

the Eastern Cape.Provincial police spokesperson Captain

Frederick van Wyk said no new informa-tion has yet been collected. The case is stillunder investigation.Ward councillor Dave Bryant said that

since the incident, meetings have been heldwith the City of Cape Town’s transport andsafety and security departments as well as

the local policing forum to devise plans toincrease safety.“We looked at the area and traffic on the

walkway they had used to determine howregularly it is in use,” he said.According to Bryant, the walkway is not

used very often.“This has led to the decision to not erect

palisade fencing, but instead install noticeboards.”Bryant said fencing would be too costly

for ratepayers and the City.The Department of Transport has since

approved the erection of two notice boardsto warn people that they should not use thisarea.The boards were erected last week at the

top and next to the pathway.“We have on numerous occasions

through the media tried to warn the publicnot to use the path. It is extremely danger-ous,” Bryant said.

THE SHOCKINGstate of a derelictCity-owned piece ofland in Bo-Kaap hasresidents crying forhelp.

Heaps of rottingwaste, illegal occu-pation, alleged drugdealing and safety is-sues are some of thekey elements aggra-vating locals in Chi-appini Street.

Last week, Peo-ple’s Post accompa-nied residents, theBo-Kaap Neighbour-hood Watch, the lo-cal ward councillorand the communitypolice forum on awalkabout of the un-sightly property.

Ward councillorDave Bryant ex-plains that the se-vere illegal dumping smothering the plot isa “spill-over” from the neighbouring Kraalinformal settlement.

“The issues at this site are really appall-ing. We have to find a way to work with thelocals for solutions to these problems,” hesays.

Bryant first inspected a crumbling houseand expressed his dismay at the amount ofdirt and construction rubble found.

He immediately contacted the City ofCape Town’s Law Enforcement Departmentto start the clean-up process.

Law Enforcement is to first inspect theentire plot and establish a presence in thearea.

They would in turn notify the relevantCity departments to kick-start the physicalclean-up.

“This will need to be followed up in futureand we will have to closely monitor this sit-uation. The problems at this piece of landseem to be spilling over from the Kraal andwe have to look at ways to address this,” hesays.

One resident, who asked not to be namedfor safety reasons, daily gnashes his teethin frustration at the problems plaguing theplot.

He says he regularly hears screams ofpeople being robbed and has witnesseddrug dealing as well as uncontrolled firesbeing started. “This is getting out of handnow and there is nobody who really dealswith the issues at the space. We cannot livelike this and we have to start speaking up,”the resident says.

He also fumes at the regular sights ofsquatters openly bathing and then chuck-ing the used water on the dumped waste.

“This is terribly unhealthy. The worst

part is that people live with this right ontheir properties and have no protectionagainst these problems,” the resident says.

“We must do something, because peoplecannot live in fear all the time.”

Anwar Valley, the acting chairperson ofthe Bo-Kaap Neighbourhood Watch, is urg-ing the City to prioritise this problem.

“This is really unbelievable,” he fumes.“I can’t understand how people can live

like this. The neighbourhood watch can on-ly do so much.”

Brandon Golding, the chairperson of theCape Town Community Police Forum, sug-gested that the City properly fence off theneighbouring properties to prevent easy ac-cess into their backyards.

He also recommended that council, alongwith residents and the local civic associa-tion, closely monitor the activities at theneighbouring Kraal.

“We know that it’s not all the people liv-ing at the Kraal who are responsible for cre-ating these problems, but they certainlymust know who the problem-makers are,”Golding says.

“They (squatters) are the ones messingup this place, so we must also try and in-volve them and get them to clean up thisplace.”

He fancied the idea Bryant has about ar-ranging a major clean up operation, butadds that police should also be involved inorder to screen some of the “new faces” inand around the Kraal.

“This is going to take lots of communica-tion between residents, council and police.We have to involve everybody, because thiscertainly cannot go on,” Golding fumes.

A follow up meeting has been scheduledfor later this week.

LIQUOR traders with valid licences arebeing pursued in spite of alcohol beingbought “all day, every day” from illegalshebeens.

Cape vintner Vaughan Johnson saidhe was released from jail 21 years ago forselling alcohol on a Sunday.

At the time, he asked the police if “theyhad nothing better to do”.

“To me it seems as if nothing haschanged since then. It is really strangethat one cannot sell alcohol on a Sunday.Sunday is not a special day in modernSouth Africa.”

Johnson said the problem with alcoholabuse stemmed from illegal shebeenswhich is why they should be targeted.

His comment comes amid the City ofCape Town’s decision to regulate thetimes in which alcohol can be sold,which kicked in on Monday 1 April.

Council has now decided that a sectionof the new regulation regarding trading

hours again be opened for public com-ment.

Garreth Bloor, the Mayoral Commit-tee member for Economic Development,Environmental and Spatial Planning,said the issue of whether traders maysell alcohol on a Sunday to be consumedelsewhere, would be revisited.

The right of a trader to apply for per-mission to trade after 18:00 is also beingreconsidered.

Previously, alcohol could be pur-chased until 20:00, but the time has sincebeen adjusted to 18:00. “It is not about ex-tending the liquor trading hours in gen-eral, but that traders can apply to extendtheir liquor trading hours,” Bloor said.

While the issue of liquor trading hoursis being revised, the remaining regula-tions are in effect as of 1 April.

Of the 200 businesses which were in-spected, there were problems at only 12.

“The City of Cape Town will not makeregulations it cannot implement, but wedon’t want to close businesses,” he said.

CAPE TOWN: UPSET OVER LIQUOR BYLAW

PRISON is no joke. And it is even less so forjuveniles.

schools. It aims to offer insight into issues ofyouth incarceration and to share the journeyof young people taking pride in being part ofthe solution to creating a safer South Africa.

YiPSA is a rehabilitative programmewhich works with young offenders aged 14to 25.

Through a holistic approach using artsand culture and sport as the vehicle to reha-bilitation, YiPSA seeks to encourage pro-gramme participants to make positive lifechoices and to develop into successful andcontributing members of society.V The exhibition is open to all from 10:00 to 16:00,at the Iziko Annexe in St John’s Road, Cape Town.

his first. He has been investigating thereason for his unpaid pension for Aprilsince he re-registered with Sassa, buthas been sent from pillar to post.Alfreds (75) was one of millions of

PENSION: MAN SENT FROM PILLAR TO POST

Senior’s battleto get his cash

INLIFE, aTamboerskloof pianistwas deniedtickling the ivories on the big stage. But nowhis family has taken it upon themselves toensure his memory lives on by showcasingthe late Henry Rossouw’s talents.Rossouw was a pianist struggling to make

it onto the big stage because of the apartheidsegregation laws.Even though he was faced with several

challenges, he continued composing andbanging out the tunes on his piano.On one occasion, Henry was invited by the

Cape Town Symphony Orchestra as a guestpianist at a concert at City Hall, but wasbanned from basking under the spotlight.His wife, Carrie, found it heart-rending

that her late husband was never allowed toshow off his talent.His family has compiled a CD with some

of his greatest work, Sea Breezes over Clifton.“He was a brilliant pianist and composer

but was prevented from performing in ven-ues in Cape Town. The CDmy son and I haverecently had made is in his honour,” shesays.One of Henry’s compositions for violin and

piano, Sea Breezes over Clifton, was writtenfor an event at the Camps Bay High in 1997,when theyopenedanewsectionof the school.Henry left to teach in the UK in the early

‘90s, but was later contacted by the South Af-rican Embassy and informed that his pass-port hadbeenvoided.Upuntil today, the fam-ily has still not establishedwhy this had hap-pened. He regained his citizenship in 1997.

“Henrywas really held back because of theapartheid era. It was really tough for him tomake a success out of being a pianist. In say-ing that, through the difficult time, he madethe most of it and really loved what he did,”she says.His talent might have amazed many, but

he was still prevented from playing at CapeTown’s most prestigious events due to thecolour of his skin. Carrie says that due to themental trauma, he suffered fromAlzheimersDisease. Henry eventually died in April 2010.In the final years of his debilitating illness,

their cat Rabs offered comfort and support toHenry. This sparked the initiative to donatethe funds raised from the CD to two animalwelfare groups, the Domestic Animal RescueGroup and the SPCA. Rabs also walked awayas the SPCA’s Meow of the Year winner in2012 in recognition for the comfort she of-fered Henry.Carrie felt that it would be fitting to donate

the funds towards a cause where abandonedcats could be cared for and benefit in Henry’sname. “We started this initiative to honourHenry. During the years, he lived in thiscountry during apartheid and was not per-mitted to perform where white audienceswould be present or to play in any theatresor venues because he was designated ‘Col-oured’,” she says.The CD was recorded last year in a profes-

sional studio with international violinistVincente Espi.V For further information on the CD or the initiative,contact Carrie on 0 071 641 4957 or email her at2 [email protected]

THE World War I Memorial cenotaph willbe relocated from Adderley Street to theHertzog Boulevard-Heerengracht intersec-tion.

Heritage Western Cape gave the City ofCape Town the nod to relocate the cenotaphcurrently situated opposite the train sta-tion.

A cenotaph is an “empty tomb” or a mon-ument erected in honour of a person orgroup of people whose remains are else-where.

The memorial has been in AdderleyStreet since 1924.

It was originally erected to honour all thesoldiers who died in World War I.

The monument was re-unveiled after ad-ditional commemoration plaques were in-stalled to honour the lost lives of South Afri-can soldiers in both the Korean War andWorld War II.

Its new position will make it far more ac-cessible to the public. Certain original de-sign elements of the monument that havebeen removed or changed over the yearswill be restored. The move will allow spacefor the construction of a new MyCiTi busstation on Adderley Street.

Heritage Western Cape approved themove on 22 March. The decision is subjectto a two week appeal period which was con-cluded last week.

Mayoral Committee member for Trans-port, Roads and Stormwater, Brett Herron,explains that approval followed two yearsof engagement with heritage authorities,military and veterans’ organisations, cul-tural historians and the public. “The Cityis confident that the new location of the cen-

otaph will make this monument far moreaccessible to the public as well as for re-membrance ceremonies,” he says.

The cenotaph will be very carefully de-constructed and moved to a new site fur-ther down Adderley Street. The project willbe completed in time for the RemembranceDay commemoration in November.

Along with its approval of the move, Her-itage Western Cape released a comprehen-sive Heritage Impact Assessment Reportbased on the public participation processthat was followed. This process included in-itial comments from civic and professionalorganisations, two publicly-advertisedcomment periods and meetings with select-ed stakeholders.

Heritage Western Cape ruled that the re-location can continue on condition that:

• The cenotaph’s status as an object with-in the central city and on the AdderleyStreet axis be upgraded to Grade II;

• The dismantling should be subject to thesubmission of a photographic record of thecenotaph in its present state; and

• The dismantling and re-erection shall becarried out by appropriately qualified pro-fessionals, subject to Heritage WesternCape’s approval.

Once the cenotaph has been carefullymoved to its new location, the City will startthe construction of a new closed MyCiTifeeder station on the road median in themiddle of Adderley Street, between theFountain Circle and Riebeeck Street.

As part of its approval for the move of thecenotaph, Heritage Western Cape also gavecertain requirements for the look and feelof this new station.

DIABETESkillsmore people thanAids.And it is the fourth leading

cause of premature death in thisprovince.However, with the right diet

and exercise programme, diabe-tes can be managed, says MargotMcCumisky of Diabetes South Af-rica.This lifestyle disease is strongly

associated with high blood pres-sure, high cholesterol and weightgain, particularly around thewaist.Type 1 diabetes is caused be-

cause the pancreas produces noinsulin. It often strikes in child-hood and affects about onemillionSouth Africans.Type 2 diabetes, which is often

lifestyle-related, results when thepancreas produces too little insu-lin or the body is not able to usethe insulin the pancreas produc-es.It accounts formore than 80%of

diabetes cases in the country.Every seven seconds one person

dies of diabetes-related complica-tions and two people are diag-nosed.McCumisky says obesity is one

of the leading risk factors for dia-betes.This is according to informa-

tion presented at a conference bythe International Diabetes Feder-ation, European Association ofDiabetes and theAmericanDiabe-tes Association held in Stellen-bosch last year.South Africa has overtaken

America in obesity stats.About 3.4 million South Afri-

cans are diagnosedwith Type 2 di-abetes, McCumisky says.The alarming fact about this si-

lent killer is that 50% of peoplewho have it are unaware becausethey are symptom-free.

Then there are those who havethe symptoms, but ignore them.Every 30 seconds worldwide, a

leg or foot is amputated because ofdiabetes.Every eight seconds worldwide,

someone dies from diabetes-relat-ed causes, it has been reported.Managing Type 2 diabetes is as

easy as adopting a healthy life-style – this includes eating foodslow in fat and exercising regular-ly, McCumisky explains.A briskwalk three times aweek

is recommended.There is an explosion of diabe-

tes worldwide and developingcountries like South Africa arethe worst hit.“People can be walking around

with Type 2 diabetes for years andnot be aware of it as they may nothave any symptoms. Focus has upto now been on HIV/Aids and TBand not enough funding or atten-tion has been given to the growing

numbers of people developing dia-betes,” McCumisky says.Earl Prinsloo was diagnosed

with diabetes in September.Making healthier lifestyle

choices is one of the biggest ad-justments he has had to make. “Iused to enjoy fast foods, but nowI have to watch what I eat.”The 26-year-old says going to

bed earlier and exercising regu-larly are key to keeping the diabe-tes in check.“It was difficult over Easter as

there were so many sweet things.It’s important to remember thatone can lead a full and healthy lifeif you follow a good diet,” Prinsloosays.He is a medical researcher and

was diagnosed with Type-1 diabe-tes.According to McCumisky, dia-

betes can also lead to blindnessand most people living with thedisease die of cardiac failure.

THEREmaybeawhole lot of love, butnomarriage for SouthAfricans who have fallen in love with foreigners.If a South African-foreign couple are planning wedded

bliss, they had better know their partner well.In an attempt to curb fraud, the Department of Home Af-

fairs has reportedly introduced new rules for foreign cou-ples wanting to wed in SA.Lunga Ngqengelele, the spokesperson for Home Affairs

Minister Naledi Pandor, says in the five years leading upto January 2012 there have been 8 883 fraudulent marriagesormarriages of convenience.HomeAffairswill be introduc-ing a system in which couples will be interviewed by immi-gration officers. They will want to know how long the for-eigner has been in the country and if they have a valid per-mit. These requirements have, to date, not prevented acouple from getting married, Ngqengelele said.The new rules would not apply in cases where both are

foreigners.Foreigners wishing to marry in SA would have to have

valid passports and a permit.In turn, the couple would be issued an abridged marriage

certificate, with which they would register their marriagein their country of origin, says Home Affairs.Marriage officers and wedding coordinators have report-

edly been up in arms as, they say, many foreigners werenot prepared to tie the knot here any longer.However, in a country that may be considered a mecca

for refugees, asylum seekers and immigrant foreign nation-als, many may say the action by Home Affairs is long over-due. Many South African women have discovered they are“married” to foreigners they’ve never even met.These women have had to endure the legal roller coaster

that comeswith having to undo the legal wrangle as a resultof these illegal unions. This plan by Home Affairs to throwa spanner in the works of deviants who see South Africaas a land of opportunity and misappropriation should beput into action with haste.

Corruption taints new SAAFTER 1994 – due to our peaceful road to de-mocracy and (thanks to many) iconic citi-zens – South Africa was regarded a modelstate to the rest of the world.Our unique constitution was a much-de-

sired and sought after scroll on rights of citi-zens.We must accept that change in policy and

attitude was not a smooth ride, but as theRainbowNation there is hope for a better fu-ture for us.What abeautiful democratic roadwe start-

ed to travel, with a few potholes along theway, but we showed our faith and expecteddreams at the voting polls.We, the travellers on that road, have found

that the small potholes we accepted yearsago have become dongas in 2013.We are plagued by the never-ending cor-

ruption pot of gold for a privileged few, atan ever dimming rainbow.Unemployment lines are getting longer,

poverty is increasing, service delivery plansare (failing), mismanagement and missingfunds are a plague, and dreams of diplomasand certificates are cast into the wind, as wesee some pupils still receiving schooling inhovels and under trees.Our police have to deal with all forms of

crime and criminals and are criticised, buthave we noted how thin that blue line is?Due to the crime scourge the thin blue line

has to be doubled or even tripled.Our defence force has to realise their job

description also puts them in life-threaten-ing situations and their port of call is whereour government deploys them.I believe we, as citizens, want to see them

deployed on home soil to protect us from ter-rorists. It’s sad to hear the state of affairs ofour Navy, and the sea fisheries cannot evenpatrol or prevent poaching on our coast-lines.The food of the sea is part of our food secu-

rity and our heritage investment for manygenerations. If things go on like this andbrakes are not applied, we are on a peel slid-ing down into a banana republic – or rather,a mielie state.The only people, it seems, who are sitting

in the trees being fanned by its leaves andeating the bananas are those we have placedin authority.To get back on the right road, those in au-

thority have to go back to their roots of allour dreams of a free democratic South Afri-ca, where all for one is one for all.Keith Blake

Neighbours have right to complainIN RESPONSE to the letter “Barking dogsoffer the best warning” (People’s Post, 16April), I think Dog Lover is in denial.The statement which is the title of her let-

ter is not entirely true. No one will take no-tice of a dog incessantly barking at an in-truder as they become accustomed to thebarking at “nothing”. It is the same as a per-son whose house alarm always goes off. Itleads to a “cry wolf” situation.I, too, am a dog lover and have a dog, and

I think the new dog bylaws are great. DogLover launches into a tirade about how dogsare unfairly discriminated against.A dog barking for more than six minutes

in an hour is (considered) noise pollution,as is screaming children and loud music –as Dog Lover highlights – and that is whyit is against the law. Laws aren’t just madeup because people making them are bored.

The general consensus among dog behav-iourists and vets is that dogs bark incessant-ly because they are bored or scared.Therefore, the logical conclusion is that

the onus is on the dog owners and maybeDog Lover should ask herself why her dogsare barking.It seems that Dog Lover has an issue with

the neighbour for anonymously reportingthe barking. I do not blame the neighbour.In the past I have found that, whenever I

have approached someone about their dogsbarking, I have been met with hostility andthe problem never gets resolved.Now I do not engage. The most objective

way is to report the matter to Law Enforce-ment, whowill give you a reference number.Dog Lover, take responsibility for your

dog barking and stop being a victim!Bruce Johnson

THE FATE of the unfinished freeway in thecity centre now lies in the hands of some tal-ented University of Cape Town (UCT) stu-dents.The City of Cape Town recently hosted a

commencement ceremony for the future ofthe Foreshore Freeway Project, which seesUCT’s Engineering and Built Environmentdisciplines come up with a future design forthe unfinished freeway.Brett Herron, the Mayoral Committee

member for Transport, Roads and Stormwa-ter, confirms that the studentswill now startworkingonconcepts for the futureof thepre-cinct.“I will meet regularly with the Dean of the

Built Environment faculty to engage abouttheir progress,” he says.By the end of this year, students from the

faculty will present their proposals to theCity as well as exhibiting their proposedplan in a formalised exhibition environ-ment.“The future of the Foreshore precinct and

the unfinished freeways is integral to the

city achieving economic, social and environ-mental sustainability,” Herron says.“This partnership is an example of ap-

proaching a transport issue fromboth amul-ti- and interdisciplinary standpoint.”Once proposals have been presented, the

City will then determine the most feasibleand viable concept or concepts.A process will then be launched on

howtoproperly implement theproposed ide-as.Herron explains that the Foreshore pre-

cinct is “very significant” and hopes thatthe partnership formed with UCT will iden-tify some options for the future of the area,which he feels is “very important”.The Dean of the Built Environment De-

partment at UCT, Professor Francis Pe-tersen, says students will be working on theproposal project for most of the year.November has been earmarked as the date

for completion of the students’ proposals.“This request by the City will allow these

students towork in teams on a real-life ques-tion. It is also an opportunity for UCT tostrengthen their relationshipwith theCity,”he says.

THERE’S a handsome new face on the danc-ing block. He’s tall, dark, lithe, highly talent-ed with toothpaste-white teeth and a broadsmile.He’s JesseMilligan (20), fromLondon now

living inVredehoek, whowill dance his firstmajor principal role for Cape TownCity Bal-let in Veronica Paeper’s tearjerker CamillerunningatArtscape fromThursday2 toSun-day 12 May.He will portray the naive, young French-

pear into a rehearsal it emerges that Milli-gan has been dancing most of his life al-though his love of horse riding, scuba div-ing, cricket and rugbywere also onhis radarscreen and, by accounts, he is an excellentpianist.Aged nine, he performed in productions of

Swan Lake and Cinderella with the EnglishNational Ballet School, went to boardingschool when he was 12 where he studied allaspects of dance and acting until hemade uphis mind to become a ballet dancer.In 2011 Cape Town City Ballet artistic ex-

ecutive Keith Mackintosh spotted Jesse’s

six-foot frame, musicality and surefootedstyle on a visit to his own alma mater TringParkSchool for thePerformingArts, outsideLondon. Milligan had to fulfil commitmentsbefore being free to come to Cape Town lastyear.Watching him and Li in action, they look

born to dance together, which is ideal asthere are four major difficult pas des deuxin Camille with lots of lifts which he mustexecute while still in character.“I am relieved Tracy is so light!” he said

of his 39kg featherweight partner. Shewantshim to eat lots of red meat “so he will haveplenty of energy for opening night”.Book at Computicket or Artscape Dial-a-

CHRYSLER GROUP: CONFIDENT OF FUTURE

Counting loss of battery-powered FiatWHEELS24

THE Chrysler Group stands to lose anequivalent of R90 000 on every battery-powered Fiat 500e it sells in California,

CEO Sergio Marchionne said.Marchionne said Chrysler’s new Fiat 500e

gets the equivalent of 174km a gallon andwill go 55km on a single charge.But the true cost of the car leaves the auto-

maker with a steep loss on every sale, Mar-chionne noted during a speech at the Societyof Automotive Engineers annual banquet.“We will lose about R90 000 per vehicle.

Doing that on a large scale would be indus-trial masochism,” said Marchionne.However, Chrysler expects to sell only a

few hundred electric vehicles in Californiato meet the western state’s mandate thatmanufacturers have EVs available for con-sumers across what is the most importantmarket fornewvehicles in theUnitedStates.Despite the heavy use of government in-

centives, sales of EVs and “plug-in hybrids,”which can run on either batteries or usetheir internal combustion engine, account-ed for less than half of 1% of all cars sold inthe US during 2012.“Weneed to innovate. A decade ago hydro-

gen was the next big thing, now its electricvehicles. Regulators should be technologyneutral. We can’t anticipate every possiblescenario,” he said.Marchionne added despite his scepticism

about electric vehicles, Fiat “is recognisedas the most eco-performing automaker inEurope. InNorthAmerica,Chryslerhasbro-ken new ground in the reduction of green-house gas emissions byoffering the first, fac-tory-built, compressed natural gas-poweredpick-up trucks in North America.Chrysler has also introduced eight-speed

and nine-speed transmissions, “substantial-ly improving both the driving experienceand the fuel economy of our vehicles,” Mar-chionne said.He added that more improvements in the

fuel economy delivered by the internal com-bustion engine are coming.Marchionne also re-iterated he believes

only “five or six” very large scale automak-ers will survive. Neither Chrysler nor Fiatwould have had a chance to survive on theirown, he said.The combination of the two companies

gives them the scale to carry out the invest-ment in new vehicle lines.“I believe to make an adequate return, an

automaker needs to produce a total of atleast six million vehicles a year and at leastone million vehicles per platform.“The Chrysler Group and Fiat have al-

ready completed the convergence of thethree principal architectures that will drivemore than 80% of our total volume,” saidMarchionne.

Milano preparefor final stretchLIAM MOSES

MILANO UNITED will hope to extendtheir unbeaten run to five gameswhen they tackle a local rival and a

title contender in two National First Divi-sion (NFD) games this week.The Grassy Park side have won all three

of its games played in April, beating Dyna-mos 3-0 at home, table toppers Thanda RoyalZulu 1-0 away and thrashing Sivutsa Stars3-0 on Saturday.Milano will now face up against second-

placed Mpumalanga Black Aces tomorrow(Wednesday 24 April) and local rivals FCCape Town on Saturday, as the end of theseason draws nearer.The NFD newcomers, promoted this sea-

son, started 2013 in third place on the tableand looked to be in the running for a secondconsecutive promotion.But a surprisingdrop in form followedand

Milano went on to lose four, draw two andwin only one of their first seven games of theyear.Milano were defeated twice by Polokwane

City andalso lost toVascodaGamaandUnit-

ed FC, while goalless draws were sufferedagainst United FC and Witbank Spurs.The only win between the start of the sea-

Shimmi trains Tigers to run the ballNEWLY appointed UCT head coach Han-yani Shimange has promised to retain theclub’s traditional style of running rugbyin this year’s Super League A.

Shimange, a former Ikey himself, wasappointed as head coach in the April afterhis predecessor Kevin Foote joined Aus-tralian Super Rugby outfit the WesternForce.

“Our first point of call is to play a run-ning game. That’s what we are known forand that, certainly,won’t stop. Theremay,however, be one or two tweaks here andthere,” he says.

“Generally, the essence of the team willstay the same.”

Shimange has been involved with theclub for around six months, assistingFoote as UCT’s defence coach.

The former Stormers and Springbokhooker has already lead the Ikey Tigers totwo victories this season, against SuperLeague A newcomers Bellville and Hel-derberg, winning 28-21 and 34-8 respec-tively.

But the students face a tougher prospectwhen they travel to face Durbanville-Bel-lville, last year’s runners up, on tomorrowevening (Wednesday).

Shimange has avoided setting any loftygoals for the season as yet, and says heaims to take the season “game by game”,deal with the difficulties of coaching stu-dents and manage the challenges present-ed by the Super League A.

“Maybe a lot of these guys haven’tplayed league rugby yet – that may be oneof the challenges. They don’t have the ex-perience of playing against the older,tougher guys,” says Shimange.

“There is a difference between playing Su-per League rugby and playing in the VarsityCup – there isn’t as much glamour,” says Shi-mange.

“The Varsity Cup is televised and there area lot of people. In the Super League you maybe playing against the reserves with only acouple of people watching. But at the sametime, the culture we have created defines it-self. No matter who we are playing, you arestill representing 20 000 students and a lot ofold boys.”

He adds that his players may find their Su-per League opponents bigger and older, andthe rugby “a lot more physical” than the ex-pansive, running game popular in VarsityCup.

“To compare the two is difficult. Playing thegamesawayat 21:00 onaFridaynight presentsits own challenges.”

UCT will face Durb-Bell away from home to-morrow and travel to Tygerberg on Saturday27 April.

Plan to end CapeDistrict stand-offLIAM MOSES

THE Cape District Local Football Associ-ation (CDLFA) has entered into negotia-tions with one of its clubs in hopes of end-ing an 18-month legal battle.

Bluebells AFC, an amateur club fromWynberg, won an R81 000 lawsuit againstCDLFA in December, but were subse-quently suspended indefinitely from allfootball in February for breaching the or-ganisation’s constitution by taking themto court.

Despite the victory, the organisationhas not paid the money and previouslystated its intention to appeal the deci-sion.

However, the LFA’s senior vice presi-dent Ivan Williams says the organisationwill now assemble for a special generalmeeting in hopes of settling the matterout of court and allowing Bluebells toplay football again. The meeting will beheld tomorrow (Wednesday).

“We sent a committee to Bluebells tolook at how we could resolve this matter,so that they can play football again. Thecommittee needs to report back to a spe-cial general meeting on Wednesday 24April. We are going to look at Bluebells’proposal and see if it’s acceptable to CapeDistrict.”

Williams adds that the club has “madea few requests” which the CDLFA willneed to fulfil if Bluebells are to withdrawthe case from court. However, he did notwant to expand on the requests.

Rashied Cloete, president of Bluebells,also refused to list the requests, but de-scribed the meeting with the committee

as an “open discussion”.“The club will be happy if the agree-

ment is actually ratified. We are tryingto finda solution for bothparties and thatis embodied in the agreement,” saysCloete.

“It was an acceptable agreement.There is give and take in any agreement.They have to give and we have to give,and eventually you find a middle road.That’s the way agreements are enteredinto.”

Bluebells sued the CDLFA in Septem-ber 2011 after failing to win a tender torun the tea room and café at the WilliamHerbert sports grounds in 2010, allegingthat the tender process was flawed.

After finding in Bluebells favour, theWynberg Magistrate’s Court also serveda warrant of execution against the CDF-LA’s property in February and the clubwas suspended two days later.

Bluebells failed in their attempts tohave the suspension overturned andhosted a protest at William Herbertsports grounds on Saturday 13 April(“Legal clash at Cape District”, People’sPost, 16 April).

The club was then banned from enter-ing the premises by the Municipal FieldManagement Committee.

The LFA’s executive committee metwith the delegation that engaged withBluebells on Sunday, to discuss the re-quests ahead of the special general meet-ing.

Williams says the LFA is “committed”to resolving the problem and gettingBluebells back on the pitch as soon aspossible.
