CPFs dividedLIAM MOSES

Community Policing Forums aroundCape Town have reacted to news that

they will soon be able to exercise a smallamount control over the City’s law en-forcement departments.

Alderman J P Smith, chairman of the may-oral committee (Mayco) for safety and securi-ty, said that from next year CPFs would beable to assign specific tasks to the City’s met-ro police and traffic department.

Smith said that the point of the programmewas to help improve the partnership betweenCape Town’s law enforcement agencies andCPFs, and to make better use of the limitedresources available to the City.

“What I want is an accountability mecha-nism, where the community can hold my staffaccountable,” said Smith.

“I want them to be able to assign specificduties and priorities to the traffic law en-forcement and metro police. So we are givingthem a time sheet and every day they can allo-cate a priority to each one of these services.The following month my staff must then re-port on what they have done.”

Theprogramme is still in its developmentalphase and the finer details will be worked outin January next year when Smith and the restof the Safety and Security Mayco meet withCPF heads.

However, Smith envisions that it will in-volve the CPF leaders meeting with a metropolice and traffic services representative andthen filling in a timesheet to say how whatthey would like the law enforcement officersto concentrate on.

Smith believes that the city, CPFs and theneighbourhoods they serve will benefit great-ly once this system is implemented.

“For the community, the benefit is that thestaff are held accountable. They will fill in thetimesheet with what they want the law en-forcement to do and the staff then will reportback at the next meeting on what stats weregenerated, and what happened, and whatthey found there,” said Smith.

“For the City, the plus side is that we won’tbe just sitting with the community ‘shotgun-ning’ a large list of requests. At the CPF meet-

ings what usually happens is that one personwill say this and another will say that. Andyou end up with a list of about 20 things thatare priorities and that you have to be respon-sible for, and, quite frankly, you end up notbeing responsible for any of them.

“The benefit for the City is that it will com-pel the CPF to exercise its mind on what thepriorities are, and to allocate the resourcesavailable to them accordingly.”

Senior CPF leaders in Cape Town do not allshare Smith’s confidence that the project willhelp to reduce crime in their areas, or im-prove co-operation between themselves, theCity’s law enforcement agencies and the po-lice.

While some welcomed the move, otherscriticised it heavily.

Hanif Loonat, chairperson of the WesternCape Community Police board, was ecstaticupon hearing the news from People’s Post.

“I’m lost for words. If that’s what he (Smith)toldyou thenheneeds tobeapplauded for tak-ing such a stance. He is now coming to thesame page,” said Loonat.

“That is what we have been asking for allalong – (for the City) to start using the CPFs.CPFs legally represent their communities.We are excited that he has decided to use usas his partner.

“We appeal to him to let this be a lastingrelationship, and one that befits our commu-nities.”

But Michael Jacobs, Mitchell’s Plain clus-ter CPF chairperson, said he was scepticalabout how effective the plan would be.

He criticised the City for not includingCPFs in the planning process and said theMetro Police’s inability to bring chargesagainst criminals could result in the systembreaking down.

“The plans that JP Smith put on the tableare not attainable. I don’t think they will befully realised,” said Jacobs.

“When it comes to law enforcement, they(the Metro Police) don’t have the powers toinvestigate crimes and they don’t have thepower to take the suspects to court.

“They have to hand the suspects to theSAPS.”

“That calls for greater co-operation be-tween law enforcement agencies, which is the

ideal situation, which to my knowledge isn’tcurrently happening. Everybody is havingtheir own little operations.”

Cassiem Christians, Athlone CPF’s chair-person, criticised the City’s law enforcementfor their past failures, but welcomed themove if it resulted in more co-operation be-tween the city and CPFs.

“We welcome the fact that there can be amuch closer working relationship betweenthe CPFs and the City law enforcement,” saidChristians.

“If we can have this particular close rela-tionship we can make the implementation ofcrime prevention operations much more ef-fective.

“We welcome his (Smith’s) position thatthere needs to be this partnership.

“We need to start planning on a long-termbasis how we are going to deal with not onlycrime, but with crime prevention.”

The programme will also give teeth toneighbourhood watches around the city, bytraining and appointing some of their mem-bers as fully-fledged metro police reservists.

Smith said the reservists would be embed-ded in the neighbour watches they came fromonce they had completed the training andpassed all necessary tests.

The officers would then be armed, legallybe allowed to conduct search and seizuresand would be able to make arrests.

Be Proudly South AfricanFAMILIAR shapes

and subjects areturned into elegant piec-es to make exclusivehomeware and corpo-rate gifts.

The Andy C mark on theback of each piece standsfor originality, sophistica-tion and pure, uncompli-cated beauty.

The company was start-ed in 2001 by Andy and Ti-na Cartwright, with onlyone employee, and it nowhas a design studio andfactory in Kwazulu Natal,supplying retail outletsnationally. Today thereare 15 permanent staff andfive freelance agents.

OrangeBean is theAndyC exclusive national cor-porate distributor andthere are a number of in-ternational distributors.

“Andy C is a product de-sign company, specialis-ing in exclusive homeware and corporategifts,” says Tina Cartwright, managing direc-tor of Andy C.

“The company has grown and developedand there has been a need to diversify into twodifferent divisions, namely the Spirit of AfricaCollection, with Tina Cartwright as MD, andAndy C Design House, which has Andy Cart-wright at the helm.

“Design House is developing a range of cut-ting edge contemporary designs and also as-sists companies with custom large volumeprojects. The Spirit of Africa collection con-

sists of the Tribal, Emerge and Elephant rang-es, which are mostly made from lead-free pew-ter and are designed and manufactured local-ly.”

She says the Andy C range is sold in retailoutlets nationally and by promotional compa-nies around the country to the corporate mar-ket, where they choose from the existingrange or the company customises gifts to meettheir needs. “It has been very inspiring seeingour business grow over the years and seeinghow our staff has grown with us,” says Cart-wright.

“It is humbling to meet people who know usfrom the start of our journey, when we wereworking out of my in-laws garage, who are soproud to see how much we have grown.”

She says the company decided to becomeProudly South African because they are pas-sionate about the country and have alwaysbeen really proud.

She added that all South African consumersshould consider the difference they can makeby checking where something is manufac-tured and buying local first when groceryshopping or buying a gift.

“To entrepreneurs, keep carrying on, evenif youcan’t see the light at the endof the tunnelor you’re not sure whether you’re making thecorrect decisions. Treat people as if they werewhat they ought to be, and you help them tobecome what they are capable of being.”

She says entrepreneurship can be devel-oped over time. “I am an example of that proc-ess, where it has taken me 10 years to feel con-fident enough to manage my own division.

“However, it is much quicker to nurture en-trepreneurship in our youth. Andy Cart-wright, the founder of Andy C, is a prime ex-ample of this; he was making his own Christ-mas presents probably before he even startedschool; he was taught to think out of the box;to make a plan and to be confident that hecould achieve anything in the world that heput his mind to. This shows that if parents, theeducation system and even the governmentconcentrated more of their efforts on theyoungest in our society, we would have lessreliance on the state and far more entrepre-neurs creating jobs and wonderful new prod-ucts,” says Cartwright.

HONOURED: Cape Town Mayor Patricia de Lille hosted a naming ceremony for the ChiefAlbert Luthuli Place on Saturday 10 December. The square, above the MyCiti Civic CentreStation and between the Civic Centre and Artscape, now bears Chief Luthuli’s name.Luthuli was PresidentGeneral of the African National Congress from 1952 until his deathin 1967.

The sale and transfer of landA SALE agreement comes into effectwhen a prospective buyer makes a writ-ten offer to a seller and the seller acceptsthat offer to purchasehis/herproperty onthe terms and conditions agreed upon.The next step is to give effect to this saleby formally transferring the propertyfrom the seller to the buyer as registeredand recorded in our Deeds Office.

The seller, eitherdirectly or throughanestate agent or auctioneer, then instructsa conveyancing attorney to transfer theproperty in terms of the sale agreement.The average expected time period for theprocess from sale to transfer is approxi-mately 12-14 weeks.

However, this time period may varyand quite possibly increase due to theparticular circumstances of each case, eg:where a deceased estate or divorce matteris involved and additional documentswill need to be prepared.

Once instruction has been received bythe attorney (ie: the transferring attor-ney), a file is opened and the attorney willfirst ensure that the suspensive condi-tions have been complied with before pro-ceeding any further.

A suspensive condition is a conditionwhich must be complied with in order forthe transfer to takeplace, for example, thepayment of a deposit.

The transferring attorney will now pro-ceed to draft the transfer documents inpreparation for signature by the sellerand buyer.

Five basic documents are required forthe transfer of an immovable property,namely the Power of Attorney, the exist-ing Title Deed in terms of which the selleris the current registered owner, the newDeed of Transfer in terms of which thebuyer will become the new registeredowner, the Transfer Duty Receipt andRates Clearance Certificate.

Transfer Duty is a tax payable by thebuyer on the purchase and transfer of im-movable property.

Note though that this cost is in additionto the transferring attorney’s transfercosts.

However, the transaction may be ex-empt from transfer duty tax if the pur-chase price is R600 000 or less (as per cur-rent legislation). Thus, transfer duty taxis calculated as follows:

R0-R600 000 = no transfer duty payableR600 000 – R1-million = 3% of the value

between these amountsR1-million – R1,5-million = 5% + R12 000Above R1,5-million = 8% + R37 000A Rates Clearance Certificate is a cer-

tificate issued by the City of Cape Townto the transferring attorney upon settle-ment of the seller’s rates clearance bal-ance, which includes advance collectionson the rates account for a period of 120days.

This cost is payable by the seller.Once the documents are in order the

transferring attorney will contact thebond attorneys and the bond cancellationattorney and arrange a date to lodge theirrespective deeds simultaneously at theDeeds Office.

The documents are examined and usu-ally become available for registrationwithin 10-12 working days from date oflodgement.

The transfer, bond and bond cancella-tion are then simultaneously registeredresulting in the transfer being effected be-tween the seller and buyer.

This is but a basic overview of thetransfer process and circumstances mayvary according to the particularities ofeach transaction.

Be advised that the buyer will be liablefor the bond attorney’s registration costsin addition to the transfer costs and theseller will be liable for the settlementamount of the bond as well as the bondcancellation attorney’s costs.

It would be advisable for prospectivebuyers to request a cost quotation in ad-vance so that they are able to budget.

WHAT would Christmas be with-out brightly coloured Christ-

mas lights, tinsel, sparkles an allthings bright?

Thousands of Capetonians flocked toAdderley street on Sunday 4 Decemberto witness the switching-on of the festivelights in the City, undoubtedly the big-gest and brightest of all in the greaterCape Town area.

But other parts of the city are not tobe neglected when it comes to Christmascheer and all things bright. There wereno festivities, no grand parades or thou-sands of onlookers on Monday 6 Decem-ber as the Sea Point City ImprovementDistrict (CID) quietly switched on its fes-tive lights, accumulated over the yearswith their own funds. According toHeather Tager, Chief Operations Officerat the CID, this is the first year that everylamp pole along the strip has a festivelight. This year the CID acquired 12 newlights at a cost of R50 000, and it nowbrings the final tally of festive lights inSea Point to 138.

“We will never be able to match thecity lights,” says Tager, “But it is impor-tant to have lights, as it makes the streets

festive, especially when you look at thearea. It’s a 24-hour hub with a lot of tour-ists staying here or coming through thearea.”

In 2007 and 2008 the CID organisedmassive parades for the switching on ofthe lights, but since then monetary con-straints have let the big festivities fall by

the wayside, but Tager says that withintwo to three years they will hopefullyhave enough lights to string across theroad, as in Adderley Street, and that allthe little lights will be replaced by bigones, and hopefully then the parade forthe switching-on of the lights will returnto Sea Point.

CRIMINALS stole R24000 from coin collectorsin Gardens ShoppingMall yesterday.

According to CaptainEzra October, spokesper-son for the Cape TownCentral Police Station,two armed men made offwith five cash boxes, af-ter threatening the Omniparking officers in thecovered parking area ofthe mall who were busycollecting the coins.

“The two men madetheir way to theBuitenkant exit of themall where a third manwas waiting in an un-known vehicle and madetheir escape.”

October said the policewere investigating thematter, and CCTV foot-age at the entrances andexits of Gardens Mallwould be studied.

.On Saturday morn-

ing at 10:00, a 74-year-oldman was mugged on theSea Point side of SignalHill.

October says an un-known man approachedthe elderly man andthreatened him with abroken glass bottleneck,before fleeing with theman’s camera and R50.The man was unharmedand police are on thelookout for the suspect.

“The mugging oc-curred at the exact timethat SAPS members starttheir patrols on themountain,” said Octo-ber. “We are going to re-evaluate this and makeour hours more flexible.”

He added that the com-ing weekend was expect-ed to be a busy one on themountain, as Thursdaywas full moon, whichmeant thousands of Ca-petonians would take toLions Head for the fullmoon walk.

Spreading Christmas joyMANY thanks to the readers of the People’sPost who have helped to fill care hampers forthe Aids orphans.

Hampers for 61Masiphumelele andOcean-view orphans were delivered on Saturday 26October to the children’s Christmas party atthe Masiphulelele library hall.

Since December 2000, the Catholic SocialCommunity, together with the CatholicWomen’s League and St John’s Parish, havebeen putting together Christmas boxes forchildren who have lost their parents to Aids.They live mostly in informal housing, some

with foster families or extended families thatare themselves desperately poor. Some arelooked after by elder brothers or sisters,themselves barely out of childhood. Theystruggle with poverty, and with rejectiondue to superstition and misunderstandingaround the disease that took away their par-ents.

For more information about the Christ-mas Project please call Magda on 082 7066375. Donations can also be dropped off atPenny Lane shop at Valleyland and St JohnCatholic Church in Fish Hoek (when open).

Make compost without the waitEVERYONE knows how to recycle glass,tins, paper and even cardboard at home,but what about food waste?

CapeTown’s landfill sites are rapidly fill-ing up and food waste makes up 30% of thewaste dumped into these sites. This is ac-cording to Alastair Burns, distributor ofProbiokashi probiotics.

Bokashi uses probiotic technology to fer-ment food waste, preventing it from rot-ting.

Burns says there are no odours, no fliesand it is simple to use as there is no separa-tion required.

All food waste can be recycled, includingraw and cooked food, meat, bones anddairy, with a simple bucket system.

Burns says the fermentation period isvery quick and the treated food waste isready to be used after two weeks.

Local businesses can also donate theircompost to Abalimi Bezekhaya, “farmersof the home”, and support the develop-ment of township communities.

Abalimi Bezekhaya is a non-profit devel-opment organisation based primarily intownship communities like Nyanga andKhayelitsha.

Rob Small of Abalimi Bezekhaya was

quick to see the potential of Bokashi treat-ed food waste as a substitute for expensivefertilizer and compost. Compost is a signif-icant expense for Abalimi in developingvegetable gardens in the nutrient poorsoils of Nyanga and

Khayelitsha. The Harvest of Hope mar-keting project provides a much-neededoutlet for excess produce by selling thisproduce on behalf of the farmers in theform of a weekly organic box scheme.Their main market is Claremont andRondebosch, where residents support theproject and benefit from the locally pro-duced, organic vegetable boxes.

Abalimi Bezekhaya now uses treatedfood waste, donated by local southern sub-urb businesses, as plant food in their vege-table gardens.

Other local businesses, including hotelsand office or factory canteens, could alsosupport the development of township com-munities by treating their food waste withBokashi and donating to Abalimi.

The Bokashi system can be found amostnurseries in Cape Town. Visitwww.bokashi.co.za or contact (021) 865-2832. Or email Alastair Burns [email protected]

Woodstock’s stars prepare for battleTAURIQ HASSEN

THERE can be nothing more fabulousthan the famous old Fabulous Wood-

stock Starlites when it comes to the annu-al minstrel competition.

They were established in 1973 in LowerMain Road in Woodstock and strived tochange the face of their team and of theircommunity.

According to Jamaldien Jumah, oldestfounding member and owner of the team,when the troupe first started beating theirdrums and blowing their trumpets, people’sperception mainly concerned the number ofgangsters involved with the troupe.

“We as a group have worked long and hardto change those perceptions and we rather fo-cus on the entertaining factors and what wecan give back to the community,” says Ju-mah.

The troupe first took to the stage in Good-wood, where they walked away in their debutseason as carnival champions, and latermoved to Athlone Stadium, where they wonnumerous trophies for their cabinet.

When the team joined the Kaapse KlopseKarnival Association in 2004, the team justi-fied the “Fabulous’’ in their name by walkingaway as carnival champions six years in arow in their respective divisions.

They also proved they could look fabulousby winning the prize for best dressed min-strel troupe five years straight.

“We are regarded as a top team and in orderto remaina top team,youmustworkhardandbring out the performances when they aremuch needed, but our main aim is to educate

the youth and pass on what we have learntover the years, because they are the futureleaders of this team,” says Jumah proudly.

In their 38-year history, the FabulousWoodstock Starlites have managed to start amusic and dance school for the youth.

Every Saturday, youngsters from areassuch as Hanover Park, Valhalla Park, Bonte-heuwel and Woodstock attend classes at TheLab, the team’s headquarters, behind theWoodstock Library in Clyde Street.

Classes are free and parents are regularlyencouraged by the team’s directors and cap-tains to send their children to the classes,where they are taught how to play various in-struments, sing a variety of different songsand also the art of foxtrotting.

“In the end, it’s all about the children andwe must learn to make that our number onepriority, which we are focussing on now,”says Jumah.

However, the team is currently operating

without any sponsors and is living off do-nations and generous hand-outs from itsteam members and the surrounding com-munity.

“We started off by having sponsors onboard, but this changed over time and welearnt that we have to put the team before ourfinancial difficulties, because we are acom-munity based team and there are many peo-ple who would be disappointed if the Starlitesshould no longer existed,” says Jumah.

Artistic way to save the rhinoHANRIE BOSCH

MORE than 400 rhinos werepoached throughout South Afri-ca this year, according to SA Na-tional Parks (SANParks), andwith a few more days to go tillthe end of the year, who knowswhere the tally will end.

“The number of rhinos poached,405, is up by approximately 21.6%from the 333 of the previous year,against an increase of 173% and47% for 2010 and 2009 respective-ly,” said SANParks.

The Kruger National Park hadthe most losses with 229 reportedincidents, and in comparison theWestern Cape came off the lightlywith only four incidents in 2011.

The scale of the problem seemsinsurmountable, but Capetonianartist Guy Clark is making a differ-ence and trying to ensure that therhinos are still around next year.

“Different humans identify withdifferent animals.

I just get them (rhinos). AtShamwari I literally had my handsin their midden (faeces) trying todecipher whether it was a black ora white rhino,” says rhino warriorGuy Clark.

Dressed in corporate clothes,Clark seems more like a real estateagent than a conservationist/art-ist.After spending two months inShamwari training as a game rang-er, Clark “fell in love with thebush, not game ranging”.

Coming back to Cape Town,Clark was adamant to do his bit tosave the rhinos.

Clark uses sustainable pine, re-

sponsibly farmedin South Africa, forhis canvas, with aclear vinyl print ofa rhino on top, cre-ating the effect thatthe rhino is disap-pearing into thebackground as thewood shinesthrough.

His works arelimited editions,with only five ofeach print. His am-bitious project to dohis bit to saveSouth African wild-life is also creatingan employment op-portunity for a disa-bled homeless man,who builds the can-vas, and 80% of thefunds are going tothe Wild Life ACTfund, which focuseson educating up-cominggenerationsabout rhinos, and dispelling themyth that rhino horns, made fromthe same material as fingernailsand hair, have medicinal value.

“Everybody is now focusing onChristmas presents, but our focusshould be on our children and ourchildren’s children, by helpingthose who cannot speak for them-selves.

“It is our responsibility as hu-mans to right the wrongs of oth-ers.“The killing of rhinos comesdown to superstition. The key tochange is education. Without edu-cation we are sure to lose the rhino

forever, and that is why givingfunds to the Wild Life ACT Fund isso important.”His pieces sell for R1450 at the Cape Quarter VillageMarket every Sunday from 10:00 to15:00, and all prints can be custommade.

Even if you do not want a rhinoin your house any other photo canbe used and the money will still bedonated to the Wildlife ACT Fund.To find out more about his workvisit his facebook page at black-white green, or contact him on 072465 6978, or send a mail to [email protected].

TANNER 2, the orphaned rhino calfthat survived the horrific poachingincident last month at ShamwariGame Reserve (Rhino orphans teamup after ordeal, People’s Post, 6 De-cember) has had to be euthaniseddue to his injuries.

Joe Cloete, group general manag-er of Shamwari, said: “Eye damageproved to be irreversible andsloughing of necrotic tissue to hisleg affected his hock seriously. Hestruggled to stand up and walk.There was no reason to prolong hissuffering. Tanner was euthanised.”

The Shamwari Veterinary teamdid their utmost to recuperate Tan-ner 2 and he had responded wellonce he was relocated to the bomaat the Wildlife Centre.

Initial concerns were eye damageand pressure to lower limbs as wellas the wound where his horn hadbeen removed. The biggest initialchallenges were to reduce pain andto get him to eat and drink and ad-minister eye drops at six hourly in-tervals, said Cloete.

“The solution to his anorexia was

to introduce him to Clint, anotherorphaned white rhino calf. Clinttaught him to once again enjoy thelush green grass in a camp at theWildlife Centre. As Tanner’s eye-sight was deteriorating, he also fol-lowed Clint to water troughs and amud wallow and a strong bond de-veloped between the two of themand they became best of friends,which was incredible to witness,”said Cloete.

“In the meantime, Tanner had tobe treated on a regular basis. AsClint became very protective overTanner, it was a challenge to anaes-thetise Tanner for treatment whileClint had to be kept at a distance.Although Tanner’s appetite im-proved, he had severe problemswith tissue damage to one of hishind legs as well as deterioration ofhis eye sight.

“Everyone at Shamwari, includ-ing Clint, will miss Tanner 2. Clintwill be relocated back to KariegaGame Reserve soon where he willjoin the existing herd of white rhi-no.”

Become your own bossSMALL, medium and micro enterprises ac-count for about 40% of South Africa’s grossdomestic product, and employ more thanhalf of the private sector work force.

However, 80% of small businesses failwithin the first five years. According to themost recent Global Entrepreneurship Moni-tor study, South Africa lags far behind manydeveloping nations in terms of its entrepre-neurial activity levels.

The Western Cape is one of the most entre-preneurially dynamic provinces in the coun-try, but still contributes just 14.4% to thecountry’s gross domestic product (GDP),partly due to the lack of entrepreneurial edu-cation and infrastructure in the region.

The Small Enterprise Development Agen-cy (Seda) now aims to encourage more entre-preneurial development within the WesternCape, with the launch of Seda Small Busi-ness Stars, a national business plan competi-

tion with a unique focus on entrepreneurialeducation at a provincial level.

The competition will be adjudicated by apanel recruited from top business develop-ment agencies and service providers.

The judging process will identify 20 na-tional business idea winners and 20 existingbusiness winners, all of whom will receivetheir share of more than R400 000 in cash,as well as laptops and Seda business supportto the value of up to R60 000 each.Specialprizes will also be presented to the best wom-an entrepreneur, the best youth entrepre-neur, the best disabled entrepreneur and thebest “job-creating” entrepreneur.

The competition is open to any South Afri-can citizen over the age of 18 with a businessideaor existing small business.Entries closeon 31 January, 2012.For more information,visit www.seda.org.za or follow Seda SmallBusiness Stars on Twitter or Facebook.

ACCORDING TOwww.beeright.com, honey-bees communicate with one

another by “dancing” to givethe direction and distance offlowers.


CIDs wrap upSECURITY, crime prevention and urbanregeneration were the key talking pointsat both the Oranje-Kloof City Improve-ment District (OKCID) Annual GeneralMeeting (AGM) on 30 November, and theGreen Point City Improvement District(GPCID) AGM on 2 December.

CEO of both CIDs Marc Truss says: “Aftera decade in Green Point and over nine yearsin Oranje-Kloof, it’s great to see that variouscollaborative initiatives have really lefttheir mark; our areas are increasingly at-tractive and safe places for locals, businessesand visitors alike.”

When the GPCID was formed on 15 July2001 its goal was to make Green Point the ide-al place to live, work and play, says GPCIDchairman Hugh Von Zahn, “We have alwaysbelieved that finding the correct balance be-tween the three would help establish GreenPoint as a premier destination within thecity and position it for sustained futuregrowth.

Looking back at the past 10 years I can tru-ly say that we have succeeded in all our en-deavours. Gone are the cardboard shantiesunder the highway, the seedy nightlife, dere-lict buildings and the high potential for op-portunistic crime; today we have a thriving,flourishing inner city precinct that bearscomparison to the best in any city in theworld.”

“The same can be said for the efforts of theOKCID in Oranje-Kloof; which has workedalongside the GPCID since its establishmenton 15 January 2002.

The combined CIDs have succeeded inhaving a significant impact in both areas,”said Truss. Keeping Green Point and Oran-je-Kloof safe was the GP/OKCID’s numberone priority. Ten years ago these areas hadserious social problems; vagrancy, squat-ting and street crime were all unacceptablyhigh. Muggings were commonplace andbreak-ins, to both businesses and vehicles,

were rife.Over the years various initiatives had

been put in place to deal with the underlyingsocial issues that gave rise to criminal activi-ty; but with an ever-changing shift in crimi-nal activity, it was a constant challenge, headded.

On the cleansing front, the GP/OKCID, inconjunction with the City’s Solid Waste De-partment, has a close working partnershipwith Essential Cleansing, who remove an av-erage of 19 tonnes of street refuse per monthfrom Green Point and Oranje-Kloof.

In terms of social intervention, the GP/OKCID continues to tackle the problem ofhomelessness.

Says Truss: “With the aid of fieldworkersand the support of NGOs in Green Point thatdeal with destitute persons, we were able toassist in the relocation of over 20 homelessindividuals back to their original communi-ties in 2011 and assisted practically in asmany ways possible to increase individualquality of life.”

The GP/OKCID continues to provide as-sistance through a variety of services, in-cluding the facilitation of access to medicalservices and the creation of employment op-portunities. On various levels, the GP/OKCID currently employs eight such indi-viduals full time. In addition, the GP/OKCIDfrequently utilise the services of members ofStraatwerk to supplement cleansing and mi-nor maintenance programmes, as part of atop-up service.

Says Truss, “Looking to 2012, we willstrive to continue to improve communica-tion with ratepayers and stakeholders andenhance our working partnerships with allour service providers and municipal depart-ments”.

One of the key roles a CID is able to playis the facilitation between the City and theproperty owners. A smooth, efficient andtimeous working relationship with the Cityworks to everyone’s benefit.

Rocking the farmhouseTHE name Hog Hoggidy Hog

has been etched deep into theSouth African music scene.

It’s been over a decade of action-packed music, mischief and may-hem since the young hoglets firstblessed the decaying stage of thePurple Turtle with their debut per-formance. They have a few well re-ceived releases and a good numberof nationwide as well as Europeantours under their belt, havingshared the stage with top acts suchas Nofx, Mad Caddies and Lagwag-

on. They may be somewhat moreprofessional, a bit more well knownand sounda lot tighter but it’s some-times still a struggle to keep singerGeorge Bacon’s clothes on.

The Rudimentals are an eight-piece ska/reggae band from CapeTown. The band’s releases includetwo CDs, More Fire and Set It Prop-er, and a live DVD/CD combo of the2007 Kirstenbosch Botanical Gar-dens concert. The band is signed tothe United Kingdom based MoonSka World distribution label. It isone of a handful of Cape Town reg-

gae-influenced bands, and has beendescribed as a South African insti-tution in tourist guides and on web-sites.

Both of these bands will be pre-forming on Saturday 17 Decemberat the Cape Farm House, junction oftheM66andM65at thebottomofRe-dhill Road, 3 Km past Scarborough.

Tickets cost R60 for adults, R50for students and free for childrenunder 12. The concerts kick off at15:30 until 18:00. For more informa-tion visit the website at: www.cape-farmhouse.co.za

HOGGING AROUND: Hog Hoggidy Hog will be rocking the Cape Farm Houseon Saturday 17 December.

KRISTIAN MATSSON, the Swed-ish singer songwriter, is a soft-spo-ken guy who stands somewherearound1,6m tall. But on stage, he’sknown as “The Tallest Man onEarth”, a name he’s earned withhis “unforgettable live perform-ances and one of the boldest, mostcaptivating voices around”.

Following sell-out performancesin the UK, Europe and Australiafor his latest album tour “The WildHunt”, Matsson will be coming toSouth African stages for the firsttime in February.

He will perform at two venues;first at the CTICC in Cape Town onFriday 10February, and then inJo-hannesburg on Saturday 11 Febru-ary at Joburg Theatre.

After releasing his album “Shal-low Grave”, Matsson wrote andperformed songs on his second al-bum “The Wild Hunt” in themonths after touring with JohnVanderslice and Bon Iver, garner-

ing more fans along the way andrave reviews from the likes of Roll-ing Stone Magazine and Pitchfork,who praised him as “a natural-born folksinger, earnest, clever,and comforting”.

Matsson has often been com-pared toDylanandalthoughhis in-fluences still weave through someof his songs, his sound is undenia-bly authentic and unique.

But it is Matsson’s passion onstage that cuts deep into memory.

The energy and raw emotionthat bleeds through all his per-formances is mesmerising.

He is a man with a story to telland doing so with his exquisitemusic, unmistakable gravellyvoice, timeless melodies andhaunting lyrics, it is easy to seewhy he is called “The Tallest Manon Earth”.

Tickets, between R275 and R350,are available via www.webtick-ets.co.za.

People’s Post Atlantic SeaboardCity Edition LEADER Tuesday 13 December 2011

Climate strangeWHILE the outcome of the COP 17 negotia-tions has met with mixed reactions, the worldis increasingly aware of the devastating effectclimate change could have on our planet.

The conference resolution, the DurbanPlatform for Enhanced Action, encompassesa series of agreements that leaders of 197 na-tions have reached to reduce the emission ofgreen house gases and manage the impactthat climate change will inevitably have.

The level of green house gas emissionspresent in the atmosphere is higher than atany other time during the last 150 000 years.As this increases, so does the world’s temper-ature, which in turn has catastrophic effectson food security.

It has become increasingly clear that cli-mate change is no abstract thought, but a seri-ous threat to life as we know it. In South Afri-ca its effects may mean that rainfall decreasesand temperatures increase, thereby threaten-ing farming.

But despite the technical jargon around thesubject, the far reaching impact the averageperson can have on the preservation and lon-gevity of our species and home is certainlynot to be scoffed at.

Ironically,while thepoorprobably compar-atively generate the lowest carbon footprint,it is this very group – many of whom live inAfrica – who will bear the brunt of the effectsof climate change.

But what can the average man in the streetdo to prevent climate change? Use less fuel bychoosing a fuel-efficient car or use transportrequiring less fossil fuel such as trains, sub-ways, buses, car pools, walking and biking.

Buy efficient appliances that use less elec-tricity, reduce everyday electrical consump-tion. Arguably more importantly, we shouldall start talking about global warming, writeletters to local, regional and national mediato spread the message and thereby start amovement.

The way forward is clear, and the ball is inour court.

The real cause of accidentsFOLLOWING certain claims by a radiostation and a newspaper group, a studywas conducted to determine whether carsdriven with their headlights on duringthe daytime promoted road safety.

It was found that the use of headlightsin fact created a safety hazard: the beamsof light tended to distract drivers of on-coming vehicles. Nonetheless, the studyfound that:

. Best use of lighting to make cars morevisible was to light up the interior of thevehicle;

. Bright lighting was essential, prefera-bly 10 000 watts;

. Compact fluorescent light (CFL)bulbs were better because they use lesselectricity;

. Electricity could be provided by 20standard car batteries placed inside thevehicle.

Certain problems were identified, how-

ever. The CFL bulbs contained mercuryvapour which could be released in theevent of breakage.

Therefore, the study recommendedthat vehicle occupants should wear gasmasks.

Another potential problem was the pos-sibility of acid spills from the batteries;for example, if the vehicle swerved sud-denly or hit a bump in the road.

To prevent injury, all occupants shouldwear industrial protective clothing whichcovered the entire body except the face(the gas mask has the added benefit of pro-tecting the face).

The study was conducted by Prof Cra-zynski of the University of Upper Slova-kia

Conclusion: no amount of lighting canstop reckless or careless driving – the realcause of road accidents.CONCERNED MOTORISTS

Stop moaning and be happy!To the readers: All one ever sees on this letterand SMS page is moans and groans followedby more of the same.

Here’s a challenge for you all... how aboutfor one week, everyone writing a letter aboutbeing grateful for, thankful to or happy aboutsomething!

It’s not that difficult, really. If you are read-ing this, it means you are alive, and that’sa heck of a place to start!

“Be kinder than needs be, give more thanis needed and love without holding back.”

Happy holidays!RONELLE RHEEDER

YourSMSes. Kensington Centre alreadylooks better. I have neverseen the floor so shiny! Yes, Iknow–baby steps –but pleasego at a quicker pace! Howabout Christmas trimmings?It is, after all, the festive sea-son! Isaacs

In response. Renaming streets might

make you feel good aboutyourself but what about allthe poor, starving and unem-ployed people in our country?Do you not think the taxpay-ers’ money you are wastingcould be put to better use, likefeeding the starving and pro-viding people with housing? Iask you this: Can streetnames feed the hungry? Youshould rethink what youwant to do, or maybe youdon’t care about those who gowithout food for days.

. I think the late BennieKies should also be honouredfor his fight against the apart-heid government. He was ateacher at Trafalgar HighSchool until he was banned.Then he became a lawyer andthereafter an advocate. For-tunately, his wife, Helen, isstill alive for more informa-tion. Name a street after him.Vivian Harris

. In response to the SMSabout the census, I was notvisited either, at least not be-fore 24 October, when I went

overseas. As for a fine for notbeing counted, this is news tome. I don’t remember seeingit in any of the informationhanded out.

. Wise words there, MrBlake. These are my senti-ments exactly. These peoplereally don’t do it for fun, theydo it because they are hun-gry! PG

By the way. I fully agree with Viewer

about the poor selection ofDSTV programmes, I wishmore unhappy subscriberswould object! Viewer 2

. Many families are una-ware about what’s going onwith the national militaryveterans database.

Some families don’t sharethis information with one an-other. Some people were onthe database a long time ago.Must our fathers’ money thenonly go to certain familymembers?

. Does the military pen-sion only pay out to the chil-dren who are alive or for thedead children as well? Wheredoes the dead children’s mon-ey go? The department of mil-itary veterans must explainto the people.

. Healthy people pay topmedical aid for years butwhen they go on pension thesame medical aid does notgive a pensioner’s rate! Most

have to downgrade. Why?. You are so wrong! Fire-

works should be banned be-cause it is bad for humansand animals. Go light yourcrackers in China.

. South Africa is the onlycountry in the world whereaffirmative action benefitsthe majority. The definitionis wrong – call it affirmativedamage! Pat Knowles

Just a thought. Often, nannies walk with

toddlers in open strollerswith no shade for theiryoung, fair skins. Parents,make sure your nanny under-stands sun protection!

. AR100 rewardwill be giv-en to anyone able to help mefind Wesley Ziebo and Aman-da Jansen van Rensburg.Phone 082 488 8350.

. Hell may have no furylike that of a woman caughtcheating, but what about themen who cheat most of thetime? I knew of an old manwho was dead jealous of hissweet, friendly, half-blindwife. When she couldn’t seewell enough, he would havehis fling around the corner. Isthat fair?

. Cheap Chinese clothesare what we can afford. Bigbrand name stores sell cheapimported Chinese clothes atinflated prices. Open youreyes.

Ticket to exhilarationANDRE BAKKES

THE “expres-sive, creative in-stigator” GlendaJones went allout in her eager-ly anticipateddance produc-tion, Diary of aDancer.

It is unimagina-ble that this exu-berant womanwill ever pass upthe opportunity togo all out. Ampleevidence of thiscan be seen in hermust-see show on16 December atCTICC, where theperformers willuse their finelytuned skills to ig-nite the stage withAfrican jazz, hiphop, contempo-rary, cabaret,kwaito, salsa,krumping, balletfunk, freestyleand originaldance concepts.

The third Afri-ka Ablaze produc-tion of the year isalso the most per-sonal for Jones,since she based it on her own life, and on howdance transformed her.

“Through dancing you ignite your creativi-ty,” she says.“It is the most physical and mostpersonal of all the arts.

“ Soon there is no separation between themind, body and soul.”

Jones teaches mostly disadvantaged chil-dren to overcome stigma, prejudice and la-bels and to find themselves through the natu-ral rhythm that engulfs everyone.AfrikaAblaze is, however, open to anyone.

She also lectures a first-year sport sciencegroup at the University of the Western Cape,where she “teaches rugby players to dance.”

In short, she helps people rid themselves ofthe perception that they can’t dance.

“I get into their heads and open up theirminds and souls,” she says.“People tend torob themselves of a very creative life.

“Anyone can benefit from dancing!”Diary of a Dancer is a story that will reso-

nate with all audiences.It delves into the heart and mind of a young

boy who, because of his circumstances, goesunderground to bury his dreams until he canno longer live with the lie.

“We usually have one major performancea year, but due to the enormous growth anddemand, we will have three this year,” saysJones.

The protagonist of the show (portrayed byJesrael Jacobs) grew up in a harsh environ-ment and found his salvation in dance.

An eventful foray into the world makeshim think twice about what is really impor-tant in life.

Jones has collected nuggets of wisdom inher ongoing adventure.

“What makes a dancer brilliant? Is it thesacrifices a person makes? Is it their sweat,strife, pain or hard work? Are there shortcuts?”

She lets the questions sink in before she an-swers: “Dancing is hard work! And only fearseparates the great from the average dancers.

“The fear of not being good enough. Thefear of failure.”Jacobs, whom Jones de-scribes as having been blessed with the giftof “dancing on water,” plays a character thatgrows up in abject poverty, but then discov-ers the meaning of his life when he finds twoballet shoes in a garbage bin.

“In a moment he makes the connection andbecomes overwhelmed!

That’s where he would like to be,” she says.Swan Lake will be playing in the backgroundand in that moment the character “feels andtastes the music.”His friends torment thecharacter because of his dream, which hurlshim into his darkest moment.Diary of a Danc-er promises to top any of her previous workand she is confident that her cast of 60 excep-tionally talented dancers are once againready to wow Cape Town with their exuber-ance, versatility, passion and skill.Bookingsor enquiries on 078 478 9847 or 082 669 1670 [email protected].

LYNN PRINS

TURFHALL stadium wasfilled tocapacity for the firsttime in years, for the open-ing of the Softball JuniorWomen’s World Champion-ship (JWWC) on Wednesday7 December.

People’s Post is the mediapartner of the JWWC.

The international guestswere entertained by local tra-ditional dances and the SAPSmarching band; followed by amatch between South Africaand Botswana, which SouthAfrica won 6-5.

Apart from SA showinggood character on the field, lo-cals also showed how well pre-pared they can be for worldevents. With Africa and SouthAfrica hosting the JWWC forthe first time, there has beenpraise for the hardworking or-ganisers, volunteers and secu-rity. International SoftballFederation President Don Por-ter of US said: “We are all verypleased with the facilities. Thegames have been great up tonow and the beautiful weatherhas certainly been excellent.The organisers are doing a

sterling job.” Over the week-end South Africa had a battle,falling short of sealing anotherwin, but the support was andstill is growing as the days goby. ISF President Porter com-mented on South Africa’s per-formances and said: “SouthAfrica have made improve-ments since their last JWWCfour years ago, along withteams such as Russia, PuertoRico, Brazil, Botswana, andCzech Republic. For Puerto

Rico, Brazil, South Africa, andBotswana, to mention a few,this has only been their secondappearance, and it is fantasticto see how the sport is grow-ing, especially in Africa.” Peo-ple’s Post also spoke to SouthAfrica’s head coach, LesterSmith, asking about the posi-tives he could draw from thetournament.

“In a number of areas we arenot far off other teams, and Ican proudly say that our un-

der-19 girls can competeagainst any team,” said Smith.

When asked about the wayforward for South Africa,Smith said: “I think for SA tobe truly competitive in soft-ball, softball should be seen asmore than just a social game.Club and school level need toup their game and we definite-ly need to strengthen ourpitching”.ISF President Por-ter said: “It really is hard tosay who will be in the final, be-cause it depends on who getsinto the play-offs. The currentchampions, US, are strong,Australia are good contend-ers, Canada have really playedsome great games and shownhow good they can be, as wellas Chinese Taipei, and thenthe Japanese always been thetoughest competitors for US,”he added.

The tournament continueswith eight games played dailyfrom 10:30, and the last gameat 19:30. The final game takesplace on Saturday 17 Decem-ber. Tickets cost R20 each andcan be bought at the Com-puticket stand at the field.South Africa plays New Zea-land at 19:30, so be sure to getyour ticket.
