HARFIELD VILLAGE

Market to raise fundsASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

In an effort to continue theirwork, Friendsof Harfield Parks have come up with aninnovative way to raise funds.The group has applied to the City of Cape

Town to hold a community market at Kenil-worth station.Resident Gail Brown says the idea came

from Clare Burgess, a landscape architectwho worked with ward councillor Ian Iver-son and the local community to look at ideasto halt the slide into urban decay that wasstarting to take root in the area.“Friends of Harfield Parks are making an

application to hold a monthly market at Ke-nilworth station as a means to raise fundsfor community projects,” says Brown.She says residents the Friends have spo-

ken to has been very enthusiastic about themarket and have indicated support for thepurpose behind it.Should the application get the green light,

the market will be held in the parking lot ofKenilworth station.The Friends group has been instrumental

inmaking the areamore appealing by plant-ing various plants along the pavement at thestation, as well as placing a number of plantpots at the entrance and exit of the station.“The stalls at the market will be open to

residents of Harfield Village and businessesin the area,” she says.Brown further says the idea is to have peo-

ple sell home crafts and bakes as well as toget local artists and some second-hand stallsat the market.“Part of the funds will be used to continue

the revamp of the garden sections at theparking lot and the rest will be used in themaintenance and improvement of all fourother parks in Harfield Village,” Brownsays.People’s Post previously reported that the

Friends are also saving for a timed irriga-tion system to be installed at Princess Park(“Funds boostHarfield’s leafy allure”, 13No-vember 2014), with the aim to have all theparks under timed irrigation within threeyears.They are also working to establish a small

nursery in one of the parks where they cangrow their own plants from slip and seed,thereby providing an ongoing source ofcheap plants for the public green areas ofHarfield.“As we go ‘green’ and create more attract-

ive streets and parks, so we see more resi-

dents coming out to relax, exercise and getinvolved in the village projects.”She says that everyone living in Harfield

will benefit from the improvements, as willcommuters who use the station and parkinglot. “Although much of the work is done byresidents who volunteer their time, the

Friends also employ labour to assist withwork parties. This obviously helps thebroader community,” she points out.As this project is specific to Harfield, it

will not be expanded to other areas. ButBrown says the Friends are happy to sharetheir experiences with other organisations.

The Bible to be translated into SA sign languageDelegates of the Reformed Churches inSouth Africa recently sat in silence as asign language linguist and researcher in-formed them about the development of anew Bible in South African sign language.

Ananda van der Walt, a translator forthe Hands with Words project to translatethe Bible into sign language, told themthere is a huge need for ministeringamong the deaf community in South Afri-ca.

“We do not have people in South Africawho can directly translate the Bible intosign language,” Van der Walt explained.

She said this is the first ever attempt to

translate the entire Bible into South Afri-can sign language.

The Jehovah’s Witnesses are the onlyones yet to have translated the Bible intosign language for their deaf followers.

Van der Walt says the deaf society wantsa Bible in their first language, which issign language. For the deaf who use signlanguage, to have to read the Bible in an-other language is very difficult.

Lisa Craye, executive director of Handswith Words, said they aim to launch 32evangelical Bible stories by the end of thisyear.

The plan is to translate 110 stories to the

letter into sign language, but eventually toprovide the deaf with the full Bible in signlanguage.

“It is going to take us forever to translatethe Bible,” she joked. Since the projectstarted in 2013, they only managed totranslate 16 stories.

“God’s Word is for each and everyone,”she says.

Craye says the reaction from the deafcommunity after seeing a draft of the Bi-ble’s creation story in sign language, wasincredible. “It was the first time they haveever heard of and read the story.”

Tips to stay safewhile bikingon mountainMountain biking over the last few years hasbecome a popular recreational activity inthe Table Mountain National Park (TMNP).

For the mountain biking enthusiasts orthose fairly new to the sport, here is whatyou need to know to enjoy mountain bikingin a national park, says the City of CapeTown in a statement.

The TMNP is governed by national legisla-tion under the National EnvironmentalManagement: Protected Areas Act (Nempa).It states that all activities must be regulatedby the management authority to protect en-dangered species, habitats and ecologicalsystems.

An Environmental Management Plan isalso developed for each activity in the park,including dog walking, mountain biking,horse riding and recreational fishing. A rig-orous stakeholder engagement process wasfollowed and rules and regulations for eachactivity were decided upon.

Pricing and Law EnforcementA fee was calculated based on the current

SANParks Wild Card System and the rela-tive environmental impact of the particularactivity, excluding the biking trails.

Various national job creation pro-grammes provide funds to maintain the vastmountain biking tracks available for everylevel of mountain biking. Many of thesetracks were developed with the input and fi-nancial support of the major mountain bik-ing associations that enjoy the park.

The cost for mountain biking in the TMNPis R460 a year and includes unlimited accessto ride in this natural wonder and World Na-tional Heritage site.

Family cards for mountain biking will al-so be introduced soon.

To ensure and protect the natural assetsof the park for continuous enjoyment of itsrecreational activities,

self-regulation among user groups has be-come one of the park’s law enforcementtools. This has proved very effective andmost users abide by the rules and regula-tions set out for their activity. Trespassersof these codes will be prosecuted.

New boat set to bolster water rescuesFlooding and water rescue operations by theCity of Cape Town’s Fire and Rescue Servicehave been bolstered by the acquisition of anew hi-tech rubber boat worth almostR400 000.

A City statement says this rubber boat willhelp boost the response of its Diving Unit.The new boat has a 95F fuel tank and can fitsix crew members with their diving gear, aswell as multiple patients. It is also rigged todo resuscitation (CPR) on board.

The City has a multi-functional emergen-cy response service that deals with a rangeof incidents apart from fire suppression andprevention, including a group of 24 qualifieddivers and 10 skippers.

This year the City will boost the staff bytraining an additional 10 divers and 10 skip-pers. The new boat adds to the unit’s fleetof two rubber ducks, three jet-skis and an al-uminium boat that is used on inland waterbodies and in flooding situations.

JP Smith, of the City’s safety and securitydirectorate, says: “We have invested quiteheavily in our specialised services so thatwe can offer the best possible service to our

residents.“This is but the latest example of our ef-

forts and shows our commitment to creatinga safer city.”

HEALTH

Pipes under microscopeMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

As the use of hookah pipes in restau-rants and other venues becomes morepopular, the City of Cape Town is lob-

bying for legislative clarity on the matter.According to a statement, the City will be

escalating its efforts this year for legislativeclarity on the wide array of “alternative”smoking devices and habits that have be-come commonplace in South Africa.

Tobacco ActBenedicta van Minnen, City Mayoral

Committee Member for Health, says earlierthis year the City solicited legal opinionfrom the national health department aboutthe use of electronic or e-cigarettes, but saysthis continues to be a grey area as there areno provisions for these items in the TobaccoControl Amendment Act.

When it comes to the smoking of ciga-rettes, Van Minnen says the legislation isvery clear and the City is seeking similarclarity on hookah pipes and e-cigarettes. “Inthe absence of legislation, there is nothingthat prevents establishments from ‘renting’hookah pipes to patrons or the pipes beingused in areas where smoking would other-wise not be allowed,” she explains.

HealthVan Minnen further highlights research

done on the effects of hookah pipe smoking.She explains in the most recent study in

America, it was found that 39% of teenagersand young adults who had previouslysmoked hookah pipes went on to smoke ciga-rettes. “Hookah pipes are very popular inCape Town, not just among adults, but alsochildren because there is a perception thatthe flavoured tobacco is somehow not harm-ful. Tobacco is tobacco, no matter what theflavour. We need to be more mindful as a so-ciety about the burden we’re placing on thehealthcare system.”

With high levels of respiratory diseases

such as tuberculosis, Van Minnen says au-thorities have to make every effort to combatthese.

Officials from the City’s health depart-ment have met with researchers from bothUCT and the UWC. “The consensus is thatwhile the research is not definitive, smokinghookah pipes is harmful to the health of anindividual. The researchers are also inagreement that nicotine remains one of themost addictive substances, especially foryoung people,” says Van Minnen.

EffectsAccording to a fact sheet by the South Afri-

can Medical Research Council (MRC) smokefrom a hookah pipe is not better than ciga-rette smoke because it passes through water.This is because, like cigarette smoke, hook-ah smoke contains poisons including nico-tine, tar, carbon monoxide, arsenic and lead.

The sheet covers a variety of topics includ-ing the long-term health effects of smokinghookah. It says smoking hookah can be asaddictive as cigarettes and the long-term ef-fects include cancers of the mouth, lungs andbladder or a heart attack.

In addition the spread of other diseasesare often linked to smoking hookah as thepipe is shared among smokers.

The sheet also outlines the effects of sec-ondary smoke from a hookah pipe whichnon-smokers, in this instance, are exposedto. “Children whose parents smoke hookahsare more likely to have lung infections thanchildren whose parents do not,” it reads.

StudyAccording to a study conducted by Profes-

sor Angela Mathee, who heads the MRC’sEnvironment and Health Research Unit infive “deprived” areas in Johannesburg, highrates of hookah smoking were observed.

As part of the study, a survey was conduct-ed with Grade 10 pupils from a nearby schoolwhere it was found that 60% of pupils hadused or were currently smoking hookahpipes. The results also indicate that most us-ers started smoking hookah pipes betweenthe ages of 13 and 15.

The study also says a significant numberof users had reported using marijuana or al-cohol-based products along with the tobac-co. It highlights the need for nationwide re-search on the extent of hookah smoking inSouth Africa.

Van Minnen says she will be raising theissues with national health minister AaronMotsoaledi to push for legal clarity on theuse of hookah pipes and e-cigarettes soonerrather than later. “I am not necessarilypushing for a ban on the devices, because tobe fair there is not definitive proof of theirimpact. But we do need to close the legisla-tive vacuum where these devices are con-cerned,” she concludes.V What are your thoughts on smoking Hookah pipes?Starting with the word “Post”, SMS your thoughts to32516.

ASTRID FEBRUARIE@FebAstrid

The application for rezoning and depar-ture of a property in Mowbray – ear-marked for a new ‘student village’ – has

been approved.The application went before the City of

Cape Town’s Spatial Planning, Environ-ment and Land UseManagement committeeon Friday 5 December, but was approvedwith conditions imposed tominimise the im-pact on the surrounding property ownersand the broader area.Councillor Johan van der Merwe, mayco

committee member for Energy, Environ-mental and Spatial Planning, says the appli-cant, Shamus Fitzhenry, will be granted theright to appeal the conditions of approval.The application for land use was submit-

ted by Fitzhenry on 21 May 2014.He is seeking permission for the develop-

ment of 3000m² of business premises/placeof instruction, a 680m² supermarket and 570rooms for students on 24Main Road inMow-bray.According to Fitzhenry’s proposal, Mow-

bray CBD, like many other smaller local ar-ea nodes across the city, “is clearly in needof reinvention”.It further states that attracting invest-

ment into such an environment is a difficulttask – more so than commonly perceived.Therefore, the proposal seeks to support

and enable efforts to regenerate and rein-vent the CBD and its heritage by housingstudents in a “controlled and secure colle-giate environment”.Fitzhenry says this will be done by replac-

ing an end-of-use building with a new uplift-ing development and by setting noteworthyprecedent for densification in a suitable ex-isting under-utilised, but well-serviced and

located urban node.Furthermore, Fitzhenry believes the de-

velopmentwill “address a dire need for addi-tional student accommodation and tertiaryinstitution facilities with exemplary aspira-tional architecture supported by a sustaina-ble, long-term investment-based businessplan”.Simon Birch, a committee member of the

Rosebank and Mowbray Civic Association(RMCA), says numerous presentations weremade by the developer since the project wasfirst proposed several years ago.However, Birch says the discussions did

not lead anywhere and the developer sub-mitted a scheme that was strongly opposedby the RMCA and its planning subcommit-tee.Birch says the application for the scheme

was withdrawn recently and a new schemewas suddenly submitted, without any con-sultation, for an even higher-density zoningthan the previous scheme.“There was no public participation what-

soever with this submission. The circum-stances under which the previous schemewaswithdrawnandanewschemesubmittedare very concerning to the RMCA and sug-gest an unhealthy relationship between thedeveloper and the local Planning Authori-ties,” he says.“Especially as the second application ap-

pears to have been fast-tracked by the au-thorities.”Birch adds that the main objection is the

bulk factor. “The association understandsthe need for densification, but this principlecannot be applied in broad brush strokes tothe entire Main Road,” he says.The zoning grade that has been approved

is intended for CBDs such as Claremont, heexplains.“While Claremont CBD-type zoning has a

place, the City seems to think it would be ap-propriate for the entire length ofMain Road,from the city centre toMuizenberg, to be oneextended CBD,” Birch says.He adds that Mowbray has, “as do many

parts of Main Road, its own character”.“It may be due for an upgrade, but this

kind of extreme, wholescale densificationwill obliterate any trace of identity. The cityhasmuchunderutilised spacewithin its cur-rent borders with which it could easilymeetits spatial requirements,” he says.However, in Fitzhenry’s proposal report

the local community, community improve-ment district and the RCID have been con-sulted widely during the design process.The process has take more than three

years to date since the original submissionand includes a total of seven differentschemes - all considered to the point of fullsubmission drawings and feasibility.The proposal states that four of the sub-

missions have been submitted to council forconsideration and two of which have al-ready been duly advertised in public proc-ess.

Invite to Run the RoodebergMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

In the early hours on Saturday 24 January,walkers, runners andnature lovers acrossCape Town will be preparing to Run the

Roodeberg.A bold campaign to help preserve and en-

joy the mountain slopes behind Capri hastaken shape.In January last year, WWF South Africa,

the TableMountain Fund and SouthAfricanNational Parks set out to obtain two piecesof privately owned land for incorporation in-to the Table Mountain National Park(TMNP). They launched their campaign,called Restore the Roodeberg, and lobbied toraise R9.2m to acquire the remaining prop-erties on the northern section.In a statement issued in July, the conser-

vation bodies announced they had boughtthe 134ha property, one of the two pieces ofland. Following this campaign, the CapriNeighbourhoodWatch launched theRun theRoodeberg event.Watch member Eric Riemann says along

with efforts to raise funds for the CapriCCTV camera project, the watch sought asustainable model to fund the project.They conceptualised the running event

which will see 250 participants take to thehiking trails to take in breathtaking viewsof the mountainscape and help raise fundsfor the Restore the Roodeberg campaign.Riemann says the eventwill consist of two

trails of 16km and 6km respectively.According to their website, runners will

start the 16km race by crossing the foot-bridge that divides the Navy’s land fromTMNP, passing the Glencairn Stables andclimbing up to the top of Glencairn Pass.

For the 6km race, runners will start at thesame point but after the 3km mark it takesa left turn and rewards the runners withsome fun fast flowing tracks.Riemann says participants pay R90 for the

6kmandR150 for the 16km; R50 of each entrywill go towards the campaign. The remain-der of the funds will cover operational costsand go towards the Capri NeighbourhoodWatch. They plan to publish the financials

to ensure transparency. “The event is aboutcelebrating community collaboration tohelp restore the Roodeberg and improvesafety of residents in Capri.”V Register on www.runtheroodeberg.co.za.

Crooks enter through the roofASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

Criminals are believed to be us-inganew technique to gainaccessto properties in Newlands.And, residents are advised on

social media and private commu-nity websites, to be on high alert.A warning issued to Rondeb-

osch residents on a Newlandscommunity Facebook group indi-cate entry is being gained intohomes through roofs and ceilings.Shirley Aldum, manager of

Rondebosch Community Im-provement District , says they re-ceived information that thisbreak-in techniquehasbeenexpe-rienced in Newlands.“We received this information

froma group inNewlands and theinformation has been verified bypolice,” she says.Warrant officer Lyndon Sisam

of Rondebosch Police Station con-firms the information.“Weare aware of thismodus op-

erandi and urge residents to take

extra precautionary measures toensure their property is fully se-cured,” he says.According to the information

Aldum received, in the most re-cent incident, suspects gained ac-cess by removing six roof tiles atthe back of a house where theywere least likely to be seen.The alarm system was disabled

before the suspects apparently de-scended into the house.The report further states such

an entry would ensure the alarmis not triggered and so could notalert neighbours, passersby orthe patrol vehicles.Once in the house, the alarm is

deactivated.Aldum says there has been one

attempted house break-inthrougha resident’s roof recentlyin Rondebosch.However, the attempted break-

in was unsuccessful.Sisam could not indicate how

many such break-ins occurred inNewlands.Aldum says: “We just want to

warn residents about the modusoperandi as it could happen toanyone.”Aldum says it is important that

residents secure their homesproperly to avoid this type of inci-dent to occur.“There are certain measures

which can be taken to secureone’s roof and property all togeth-er,” she says.Colonel KarlWienand, Rondeb-

osch Police Station commander,says there are two practicalmeas-ures residents can use to securetheir homes.“Suspects usually descend into

the houses through the trapdoor,” says Wienand.“I suggests putting a lock on the

outside so they cannot open thetrap door from the roof and gainaccess into the house.”He also advised residents to

lock interleading doors. Doingthis will ensure that, in the eventcriminals do gain entry to a prop-erty, that they are restricted to aparticular area in the house.

A recent recommendation by the City ofCape Town’s Naming Committee to renameTable Bay Boulevard after former presidentFW de Klerk have sparked heavy politicaldebate.The proposed renaming of Table Bay Bou-

levard in honour of the former statesman in-itially received overwhelming support dur-ing a comprehensive and citywide publicparticipation process in October 2014.But the ANC is taking a strong stance

against the City’s plan to honour De Klerkby renaming the Cape Town highway afterhim.

Zizi Kodwa, ANC national spokesperson,says De Klerk, like Hendrik Verwoerd andmany other former presidents stood at theforefront of apartheid.Tony Ehrenreich, Cosatu Western Cape

provincial secretary, strongly opposes theplan. He says even if it was a monkey stand-ing next to former president Nelson Man-dela, it would have received the Nobel PeacePrize.Political analyst Moeletsi Mbeki says De

Klerk has made a valuable contribution tohelp end apartheid and should get recogni-tion.The City recently announced that its nam-

ing committee made the proposal because of

De Klerk’s decisive role in South Africa’stransition to a democracy.About 27 prominent Cape Town residents

support the renaming, including PremierHelen Zille and Archbishop Emeritus Des-mond Tutu.Kodwa says street renaming are meant to

promote nation building, reconciliation anddemocracy. “I’m not sure what the City’sreasons are for wanting to name a street aft-er the last apartheid president.“De Klerk was under international pres-

sure. He did not free us. The people freedthemselves.”Professor Hermann Giliomee, historian

and former professor in political studies at

UCT, says he supports the decision to re-name Table Bay Boulevard to FW de KlerkAvenue.“De Klerk took his political life in his own

hands as no one knew if there would be ma-jority support in favour of negotiations withthe ANC,” says Giliomee.Dr TheunsEloff, former vice-chancellor of

the North West University, agrees.“De Klerk played a big role in our coun-

try’s history. He prevented a bloodbath,freed Mandela and unbanned the ANC.“How you end your life is a far greaterachievement than how you started it off,”says Eloff.– Translated from Die Burger

Poor marks for matric? Thereare ways to achieve your goalsMany of last year’s matriculants now findthemselves in a situation where their plansto study towards a degree this year werethwarted by marks which didn’t allow themto make the cut.But, says Dr Anne-Ka van den Hoek, of a

private higher education institution, there isstill a way for those who remain determinedto study towards a bachelor’s degree. Suchpupils can pursue a higher certificate, whichwill allow them to take the next step withouthaving to repeat their matric.She says a higher certificate is a great op-

tion for these prospective students.Van den Hoek says a higher certificate in

Business Principles and Practice, a highercertificate in IT in Support Services or ahigher certificate inEventsManagement, forinstance,will give students access to aBCom,a Bachelor of IT in Business Systems, or BAthe year after completion.“And the good news is that the higher cer-

tificate is available to anyone who onlyachievedahigher certificate pass in theirNa-tional Senior Certificate,” she says.“So you do not have to give up your degree

dreams.”But, she points out, the key is to fully en-

gage with your higher certificate, so that youcan develop some of the key skills you mayhave been lacking that resulted in you notachieving a bachelor’s pass to start with.Van den Hoek says it is important that ma-

triculants check that the institution they reg-isterwith for a higher certificate supports allstudents with focused academic literacymodules and a full-year programmedesignedto bridge the gap between school and highereducation.She says higher certificates have replaced

many foundation programmes, as they pro-vide students with an opportunity to gain afull qualificationwhile at the same timemas-tering those essential skills needed for high-

er education success – broadly known as aca-demic literacies.“These range from how to engage success-

fully with academic material, to how to re-view information and present it appropriate-lywith the level of synthesis required for suc-cessful academic study,” she says.But, she warns, while all degrees at public

andprivatehigher education institutions aresubject to the same quality assurance re-quirements, they are not all alike.“Students should not only look at entrance

requirements, but also at the curriculumandthe alignment of that curriculum with theirfuture career aspirations. This is particular-ly important for those degrees that can bequite generic, such as a BCom or a BA.A focus on strategic management, for in-

stance, raises the bar on one’s study of busi-ness management and differentiates gradu-ates. And becoming a lawyer is not the onlycareer path to follow a degree with a legal fo-cus. The integration of legal subjects withbusiness management in a BCom degreeforms a solid basis for a career in corporategovernance or leadership, she says.“Corporate communication, on the other

hand, is an entire professional field that en-compasses the traditional disciplines of com-munication and public relations, but takesthem to the level required in themodern cor-porate world that includes stakeholder man-agement.”Van den Hoek says students who were not

accepted at the institution of their choice,didn’t gain a bachelor’s pass, or who need tostrengthen their academic abilities beforestudying for a degree, will all do well to con-sider the higher certificate route.“It may take you a little bit longer to get

there, but the experience and ultimateachievement will be well worth it, and willset you on the road to the career you’vedreamed of but deemed out of reach.”

CREDIT CARD FRAUD

SafeguardbusinessesCard fraud is rampant in South Africa

– and growing at an alarming rate.This is according to Donovan Mar-

ais, of a payment solutions firm, who saysthis year, losses due to credit card fraudhave increased by 23% to R453.9m, accord-ing to the latest statistics from the SABank-ing Risk Information Centre.Thoughmuch of the press coverage focus-

es on consumer education, merchants ab-sorb many of the risks and losses attachedto card fraud. This is especially true of the‘card not present’ transactions in e-com-merce – the most risky form of card pay-ment for an SME.If you’re taking your small business on-

line, says Marais, it is essential to protectyourself by following best practices andworking with a reputable payment gate-way.Tips to help you transact safely online

with your customers include:

Know your customerIn online commerce, you are not certain

of who is sitting on the other end of the in-ternet connection performing the transac-tion and you don’t have sight of the debitor credit card.For all you know, it could be someone

whohas stolen the carddetails. For that rea-son, you need to take every reasonable pre-caution to ensure the person you are trans-acting with is who he or she claims to be.Some steps you can take to this end in-

clude:. Don’t ship to post office boxes, but only

to physical addresses.. Use a reputable delivery stream, such

as a courier that checks identification ondelivery of the goods.

. For a customer’s first transaction, youcould insist on clearing it with the bank ifdelivery isnot to the cardholder’s billingad-dress.

. Ask for an IDnumber anduse an IDver-ification service to check that the ID num-ber actually exists and ties to the name ofthe cardholder.

. Once customers are registered, youcould send a one-time PIN via SMS or email(in much the same way as the banks do)when they transact. That gives your cus-tomers an extra layer of protection in casetheir passwords are stolen.

Get PCI-compliant or don’t store paymentdetailsEvery company that accepts credit card

payments must be aware of the PaymentCard Industry’s Data Security Standards(PCI DSS) – a regulatory framework from

the financial services industry. Its require-ments include protecting data behind fire-walls, encrypting cardholder data, stayingup to date with virus protection, and con-trolling who has access to customers’ carddetails.As a small business, youmight not be able

to afford all of the information security re-quirements demanded by PCI. It may makesense to allow a payments provider to col-lect and manage card data on your behalf.When customers pay, they’ll be directed toa secure page operated by your paymentgateway and your business won’t need tostore their data. This will help protect youand your customer alike.

Comply with 3D Secure for digital paymentsIn a brick and mortar store, customers

need to punch a PIN code in at the point ofsale before their card payment is processed.Online, you should use the 3D Secure tech-nology to verify payments.Customers will be directed to a secure

web page hosted by their bank, where theywill need to supply a one-use code they re-ceived by SMS or email sent by their bank.That helps to limit fraud since the fraudsterwill need more than the basic credit cardinformation to complete an online transac-tion. If you are working with a good pay-ments company, it will not only support 3DSecure – it will insist on it.

Set a sensible floor limitOne good way to protect your business

and your customers from the threat of bigfinancial losses is to set a sensible floor lim-it. This refers to the maximum value of atransaction you will allow without callingthe bank to verify its authenticity.For example, you might decide you will

not automatically process a transaction ofmore than R5000 without giving the bank acall first to validate it.

Work with reputable couriersIf you’re delivering goods to customers

who shop online, you should work with acredible courier company.When deliveringexpensive items, insist that the courier ver-ify the customer’s identification by askingto see his or her green ID book. And the cou-rier must always get the person taking re-ceipt of the goods to sign for them.

Monitor chargebacks carefullyPayments companies give cardholders

180 days to dispute any credit card transac-tion. Verify every chargeback to ensurethat customers aren’t disputing valid trans-actions.

Animals in circuses a cruel practiceA visit to the circus can be a magicalexperience, with human artists perform-ing wonderful feats. But when it comesto performing animals, sadly it is adifferent story.

Life under the big top is not thewholesome, fun-loving, educationalexperience the circus industry would likeyou to believe.

For the animals, life is a monotonousand brutal routine of boredom, stress andpain. In short, travelling animal actsperpetuate animal cruelty, inhumanecare, public safety hazards and distortedimages of wildlife and domestic animals.

Animals are not actors, spectacles toimprison and gawk at, or even circusclowns. Yet thousands of these animalsare forced to perform silly, confusingtricks under the threat of physicalpunishment.

They are carted across the country incramped and stuffy trailers, are keptchained or caged in barren, boringenclosures and separated from their own– all for the sake of ‘human entertain-ment’. Many of these animals even paywith their lives.

What we do not see is how theseanimals are trained and live behind thecircus ring. Circus animals are confinedvirtually all of their lives in barrenconditions, while forced to suffer extremephysical and psychological deprivation.

They spend virtually 96% of their livesin chains or cages.

They travel over long distances in box

carts with no climate control. They sleep,eat and defecate in the same cage.

When allowed out, these animals aretrained using extreme discipline methodssuch as whipping, hitting, poking andshocking them with electrical prods.

Wild animal acts also pose a significantthreat to public health and safety. Circuselephants may carry tuberculosis (TB),and can infect humans with the bacterialdisease. Public records show that manycircuses have used TB-positive elephantsin public performances. Local lawenforcement agencies may be forced todeal with an animal that have escaped.

Since the 1990s circuses have beenresponsible for many injuries to humansworldwide.

There was a time when a circus mayhave represented the only exposure achild had to a wild animal. Today ourchildren learn early in school andthrough programmes on TV that wildanimals live fascinating lives in theirnatural habitat, and have natural in-stincts developed over thousands ofyears. Performing in circuses goesagainst every natural instinct andconstitutes cruelty of the worst kind.

When kids see the negative messagescircuses send, it completely contradictsthese lessons.

The circus industry claims it onlytrains animals to do the types of tricksthey might naturally perform in the wild.In reality, animals in the wild live theirlives looking for food, sleeping or raising

their young.Costumed animals lying on their backs

spinning giant balls, tigers jumpingthrough flames, or elephants walking ontheir hind legs then balancing on theirheads, are not natural behaviour. Haveyou ever seen a wild elephant do that?

When circuses portray unnatural andinaccurate images of how wild animalslive and act in such an unrealisticcontext, this creates a greater disconnectbetween people and wild animals,promoting the notion that it is accepta-ble, even enjoyable, to exploit animals forentertainment.

Circuses perpetuate an outdatedattitude that wild animals are ours to useat any cost to their welfare – an attitudeanimal protection groups, wildlifeorganisations and zoos work tirelessly tocounteract through outreach and educa-tion. Many countries have banned thiscruelty and it is time we take a firmstand on it, too.

I and many other people do not thinkcircuses need to feature animals to beentertaining. We respect and admire thehuman performers, who work tirelesslyto perfect their art and I would buytickets to support them. However, it isthe animals in the circus that stop mefrom doing so.

I wonder how many animal lovers havestopped going to circuses and standoutside trying to stop this cruel practice.

Matrics need helpto boost resultsAs we start the 2015 school year, the 2014academic results will be the maindiscussion point in school staff rooms.

The inability to read, write andcalculate properly are the main reasonsusually given for poor academic perform-ance.

Reading, writing and mathematicalskills are no doubt the foundation ofadequate performance in school subjects.

At government schools the lack ofconcentration, parental support andintellectual capacity and potential, aswell as poverty, are often cited as theroot causes of these problems.

How do these schools, however, deter-mine the extent and severity of thesecauses? What percentage of those labelledas struggling pupils have been formallyassessed by relevant professionals toaccurately identify this and to, moreimportantly, successfully and concretelyassist such pupils?

The education department has supportteams consisting of social workers,

psychologists and more in every district.How adequate are these teams – in termsof the number of staff available to assiststruggling pupils in mainstream schoolsand the number of pupils they successful-ly assisted to improve their performance?

How many psychologists, for example,are available per number of pupils? Dothese teams include speech therapists,occupational therapists and other remedi-al teaching experts like we find atprivate schools? Is this in proportion tothe needs of our pupils and schools?GINO CONTALDI,Tafelsig

Lose weight. Quit smoking. Save money.These are some of the New Year’s resolutions that most

of us have tried (and failed) year in and year out.Maybe we should try a new resolution this year. Some-

thing less selfish, less concerned with how we look or ourbank balance.

Let 2015 be the year we resolve to care for each other.Let it be the year we resolve to take care of our commu-

nities.All too often we look to the police, council, religious or

community leaders to fix the problems on our doorstep.But the responsibility lies with each and every one of us.

Let’s resolve to be active citizens this year.Report service delivery problems to council as soon as

they take place. And if they are not fixed in a reasonabletime, escalate the complaint. Educate your neighboursnot to damage council property, as it not only delays ser-vice delivery, but also chews up funding that could beused to beautify your neighbourhood.

Let’s resolve to take pride in our homes.If each one of us cleans in front of our homes, the entire

street will be clean. Maintain your home to the best ofyour ability.Don’t standbyandwatchvandalism flourishin our neighbourhoods. Educate those around you aboutthe impacts of littering and dumping.

Let’s resolve to live on safer streets. Report crime – nomatterhowsmall – so that police canbuild accurate statis-tics and allocated resources more efficiently. Form aneighbourhood watch and work with your neighbours tokeep your suburb safe. Patrol your street and ask stran-gers why they are there and if you can assist them.

Our communities belong to us, and if each of us investsin them the returns have the potential to be enormous.

Let’s resolve to make ourselves happier, not by losingweight or quitting a habit, but by creating communitiesin which we feel safe and proud.

ad races and the 35 km MTB race close atmignight on 21 January. On-line entries forthese three races close on 1 February.The 99er is organised and hosted by the El

Shaddai Christian School. There are over350 volunteers involved on the race day.Over R10 000 was raised for charity in the

formof on-linedonationsbycyclists. In addi-tion, R30 000 from race profits were donatedto Partners for Possibility, Inside Out andthe ESCS Scholarship fund. This year the ri-ders will have the opportunity to donate on-line when entering and will also be able toride for a specific education based charitybymaking use of the GivenGain foundation.

From pink balls to tens in Varsity CricketPink balls, a six that can become a 10 andlosing 5 runs when a wicket falls, are allnew innovations for cricket.Everything you thought T20 cricket is

about will be be hit out of the park as theinaugural Varsity Cricket season looks tochallenge all the rules of conventional T20cricket.During the six-day jamboree from 3-8

February in Potchefstroom, innovationssuch as a Power Play Plus Over, StrategyBreak and targets on the side of the fieldthat will yield ten runs if hit, will ramp upthe action as eight of South Africa’s topuniversity sides slog it out to be crownedchampions.The Power Play Plus Over can be called

at any time during the batting innings.The call can only be made once the bowler

is at the top of his mark for the new overand a change of bowler cannot be madeonce the Power Play Plus Over has beensignalled.All runs scored during this over will be

doubled while any wicket that falls willcost the side five runs. These runs will beadded to the extras column for the next sixballs with the runs deducted for losing awicket, also deducted from the extras col-umn.Extras suchaswides andno-balls arealso doubled during the Power Play PlusOver.Should a batsman lose hiswicket during

this over, he will be out, but the over willcontinue until it is completed.The targets on the side of the field will

be erected between the boundary rope andthe perimeter fence on the square bounda-

ries on either side. Should a batsman hitthese targets he, and the batting team, willbe awarded ten runs. These runs are addedto the batsman’s total.Such innovation will be encouraging at-

tackingplayand could see abatsmanscoreasmany as 20 runs off a single ball andwillensure that the action never stops.The Strategy Break will be taken after

the 10th over and will allow teammanage-ment as well as substitute fielders of thebowling teamonto the field todiscuss theirapproach for the next nine overs. The bat-ting sidewill also be allowed to receivewa-ter from a teammate.The tournament will be played with

pink balls. This offers spectators and pos-sibly future South African cricket playersa first-hand look at the future of cricket.

Meet SA’s first grandmasterIf Kenny Solomon (33) did not choose toplay chess, life could have been very dif-ferent for him.This native of Mitchell’s Plain, who now

lives in Italy, was awarded the title of chessgrandmaster after winning the Africa indi-vidual chess championship in Namibia lastmonth.He is only the second grandmaster in sub-

Saharan Africa after Amon Simutowe ofZambia and the very first South African tohave been awarded this honour.Determined to not become a statistic in a

community where gang culture and drugabuse are rife, Solomon taught himself thegame of chess after reading a book aboutformer world champion Anatoly Karpov.Two years later, Solomon won the nationalunder-16 championship.“I was exposed to gang culture from an

early age,” Solomon said. “I realised that ifI did not createmyown future, Iwouldmere-ly become a pawn in this scene, trapped inthe violent, oppressive cycle of gangsterism.Strong family values and my early interestin chess keptme away from these influencesand compelledme tomake choices aboutmyfate.”Although he currently lives in Italywhere

he competes on the European circuit, Solo-mon always returns to his home town,Mitchells Plain, to give back to the commu-nity and share his knowledge. Along withthe Department of Cultural Affairs andSport (DCAS), Solomon has organised vari-ous exhibitions inwhichhe has both partici-pated and taught youth about the game.“Kenny Solomon is a prime example of the

hero that we would like our youth to lookup to – someonewhomakes thebest of oppor-tunities, and who exceeds all expectations,”said Theuns Botha, Western Cape Ministerof Cultural Affairs and Sport.V Share your thoughts.
