He sayswhat he saw then ac-tivated something in him.So much so that he want-ed to do it as well. That’show his incrediblejourney of learningfencing started. Forthe past 10 yearshe has been noth-ing but the bestin being a fen-cer.Foilist Col-

lings has wonmedals incompetitionsheld in Egyptand Algeria.He is glad

that he decidedto start fencingas he is nowreaping the re-wards.“I’m happy that

when I saw it on TV Iwas so determined to try

Thisweek,Place ofHope (POH) residence cel-ebrated 14 years of helping victims of abuse.Before its establishment in 2001 under the

auspices of theCommunityBibleFellowship,POH’s foundationswere laidwhen amemberof a local churchwasworkingwith sexwork-ers on the streets of Claremont, Kenilworthand Wynberg in 1998.Located in Crawford, POH offers women

and children the opportunity to not only bere-integrated into society, but also gain theskills needed to live self-sufficient liveswhilst providing a place of refuge.Victims of abuse are screened by various

organisations including the police, socialworkers and community workers before be-ing referred to POH.These women and children are offered an

initial period of sixmonths’ residence duringwhich time they receive professional coun-selling, job skills and life skills training.Jennifer Arendorf, one of POH’s directors,

says that 18 women and 14 children are cur-rently under their care, but because of thelack of staff, numbers have had to be kept toa minimum despite the high demand withinthe community.“Lack of funding has always been the num-

ber one challenge,” she says.“Whilst government gave some financial

support to cover running costs, the organisa-tion has always had to hustle for funding forsalaries and food bills.“One of the biggest challenges came when

the owners put the building up for sale inFebruary 2008 – there were 35 women and 42children in the house at the time. The com-mittee, who I think was tired of constantly

having to source funding, decided theywouldclose the project. Eleven of the 14 staff left,but three decided to stay on to ‘keep the shipafloat’. And have they had a rough ride!”Arendorf says maintenance is another

challenge as POH is in need of an upgrade.However, despite the challenges POH face,

there have been success stories.“I think of a young girl who came from one

of the informal settlements and (she) waspregnant at the time she came to us.After shegave birth, a printing company offered to payher tuition at a college where she completeda diploma in early childhood development.Her life and (that of) her little boy is so differ-ent now!“Another story – a young girl who was at

POHwith hermother went on tomatriculatefrom a local high school, then got a bursaryto study at UWC where she completed aBPsych degree and is completing a MPsychin Denmark.“For many other of the women who have

come in through our doors, the greatest suc-cess is that they, through counselling and lifeskills programmes, have come to realise thatthey have worth, potential and they stop be-lieving the lies of their perpetrators,” shestates.“Then, with a skill tucked under their belts,they can become economically and emotion-ally independent, and be re-integrated intosociety to live in peace and with dignity.”She says that POH will continue to seek

funding. They held a market day over theweekend to raise funds for maintenance andto switch their power back on. They also fa-cilitate a soup kitchen every Thursday withthe Community Bible Fellowship.V Anyone willing to contribute by way of a donationor volunteer can call 021 697 2019.

Assaf Yechiel can boast that he started hiscareer path to bartending at five years

old, when he mixed his first drink of coughsyrup and Oros.He is now a regional finalist in the Diageo

Reserve World Class Bartender of the Yearcompetition.The competition is considered the largest

and most prestigious event of its type, aim-ing to elevate the skill of bartending and settrends in the service industry worldwide.Yechiel, who works at Orphanage Cock-

tail Emporium in the city centre, will nowgo head to head with his counterparts fromGauteng andKwaZulu-Natal in thenationalfinals, to be held in Johannesburg from 14to 16 July.The competition is demanding, Yechiel

explains, with mixologists required to com-plete three challenges.“The participants will be pulling out all

the stops to be crowned champion. Expect

to see mind-blowing serves and techniques,wonderful theatrics, outrageous flavourcombos and perhaps even a good story ortwo,” he says.While Yechiel names his signature drink

as tequila, he has also claimed a style ofcocktails combining a spirit, tea syrup andwine.But Yechiel’s secret weapon is curiosity.“It takes curiosity to train for something

like this; curiosity about ingredients, fla-vour combos, bar techniques, spirit knowl-edge, and just about anything that remotelycaptures you. It all entails a lot of research,”he says.The global finals are also set to take place

in Johannesburg and will bring a hugeboost to the local industry, Yechiel believes.“The country’s top bars have been gear-

ing themselves up for the competition,wherewewill be seeing themost influentialnames in the industry setting foot on ourshores. The exposure will be paramount tofurthering the South African bar scene,” hesays.

Promoting transparency and account-ability in the police service is the task

of South Africa’s first police ombuds-man.The ombudsman’s office was estab-

lished under the Western Cape Commu-nity Safety Act and is the only one in thecountry.Ombudsman Vusi Pikoli, previously

head of the National Prosecuting Au-thority, says the provincial departmentof community safety was receivingmany service delivery complaints fromthe public. These were then forwardedon to the police, as the department wasnot legally empowered to investigate anyof them.The Act now takes advantage of na-

tional legislation allowing provincialgovernment to investigate complaints orset up a commission of enquiry, as wasseen with the Khayelitsha commissionof inquiry.However, the ombudsmanoperates en-

tirely independently of provincial gov-ernment, Pikoli says, and the office will“fiercely protect” that independence.“We don’t play politics here,” he says.

“Thequestionof crimeaffects everybodyandweneed thepublic andpolice to trustand have confidence in us.”The ombudsman’s office oversees 151

stations across the province and 21 000officers. Over 40 of these stations fall intheCapeTownmetro. The office onlyhasthree investigators, which makes this amammoth task.Since the office opened in mid-Janu-

ary, it has received almost 150 com-

plaints and enquiries, of which 48 havebeen resolved.The office aims to conclude a com-

plaint within three months, dependingon the complexity of the case, Pikolisays.The ombudsman only deals with ser-

vice delivery complaints, such as thefailure of the police to arrive after beingcalled out or being rude to public visitinga police station.The office also looks into court cases

which have been thrown out due to in-vestigations taking too long, lost docketsor witnesses not subpoenaed.The ombudsman looks to find system-

ic failures and come up with sustainablesolutions, Pikoli explains. For everycomplaint the office validates the claimsand approaches the police station inquestion for “their side of the story”.“Themajority of officers are good, law-

abiding people who want to do their jobwell. There are only a few who are notdiligent and tarnish the name of the po-lice,” he says.The ombudsman’s vision is to build a

society in which there is trust and re-spect between the police and the commu-nity, Pikoli says.“If there is trust, crime will be report-

ed. But this trust has to be earned. Thepolice must respect the community, andthe community must respect the police.Our vision is of a police service that isaccountable,” he says.V Complaints can be made about the police, traffic officers and metro police in writing or an appointment can be made with the office.For more information, contact the ombudsmanon 021 483 0669 or [email protected].

With darkness falling so early inwinter, res-idents are urged to be aware and preparedfor loadshedding in the future.Many people are under the incorrect as-

sumption that their home alarm is off whenthe power supply is interrupted. But if youhave a stable and correctly programmed sys-tem, coupled with a battery in good condi-tion, it will continue to protect the premisesduring a power outage.Adrian Good, a general manager at ADT

Security, says it is essential that residentsregularly test their alarm systems to ensurethat it is in working order.“Mostmodern alarm systems have a back-

up battery that activates when there is apower failure. The only time itmaynot func-tion correctly is if there is a technical issue,or the battery power is low,” he says.Good adds that there are a number of prac-

tical steps to take to ensure security is notcompromised during loadshedding. Some ofthese include ensuring that the alarm sys-tem has an adequate battery supply, that allautomated gates and doors are secured andlastly to remain vigilant and report any sus-picious activity to your security provider orthe police.With the added inconvenience of the lights

going out at night due to power cuts, candlesand touch lights are handy alternatives.Good sayshomeandbusiness owners shouldconsider installing LED lights that are inte-grated into the alarm system’s wiring. Theyautomatically switch on for a maximum of15 minutes when there is power outage.“If there is an additional battery pack, the

small, non-intrusive LED lights can stay onfor the duration of the power outage or amaximum of 40 hours without draining theprimary alarm battery,” says Good.

Stay safe whenthe lights go off Parents jump in for swimmers


A group of parents from Lansdowne,Mitchell’s Plain, Plumstead and Re-

treat believe that swimming is not gettingas much coverage as other sports, makingit difficult to be financed or to get sponsor-ship.For their children to take part in swim-

ming competitions, they say they have todig deeper, but they can’t always afford topay for their travel, amongst other things,when they go to a competition outside theprovince. To make matters worse, thereare not enough heated swimming facili-ties, making it difficult for their childrento practise throughout the year.To raise money the parents hosted a

fundraising dinner dance for four chil-dren at the Claremont civic centre lastweek.The four swimmers, Camrin Elliot (12),

Nezario Stevens (12), Ciara Payne (11) andInezMarthinus (10), are all level two swim-mers with Vineyard Swimming Club.They have all competed at regional

championships and are currently prepar-ing for trials to represent the WesternCape in Pretoria in December. The moneymade at the fundraiser will cover some ofthe expenses for this trip.One of the parents, David Marthinus,

says they received an overwhelming re-sponse and it swept them off their feet.“We didn’t expect such presence. People

cameout in support and those thatweren’tthere sent their donations. The supportwas more than what we expected. We areglad that people came out to support usand tomake sure that our kids succeed, be-cause they put in a lot of hours to makesure that they excel in what they do. The

money will go a long way in helping. Wewon’t stop now because there are a lot ofother competitions, so we will continue tohost such events,” he says.Another parent, Tracey Payne, also says

the eventwas a success. They are glad thatwhat they got will help them prepare forthe next tournament.“We had to do everything out of our

pockets and it was so costly. We have tobook flights, accommodation and carswhen they go out of the province. Theevent was such a success and it will helpus prepare for our children’s next event.This is what they love, so we have to doeverything within our power to supportthem. Everything helps, so we are gratefulfor the people that came out to help,” saysPayne.

Marthinus adds that they are proud ofthe four children as they put in effort anddedication.“We are exceptionally proud of them. At

that age, they can even do open-waterswimming where they have to put in longhours. Their dedication is commendableand having to find balance between theirschool work and swimming is just adora-ble. What we have to do now as parents isto support them. We stand behind themfully because they are an example to ev-eryone. They have opportunities that wenever had,” says Marthinus.Theparents are already looking forward

to another fundraising event. Those whowant to attend the fundraiser or donate tohelp can contactMarthinus on 076 406 3458or Payne on 074 976 8019.

The Kenilworth Racecourse ConservationArea (KRCA) protects 52 hectares of crit-

ically endangered Cape Flats sand fynbos.To make sure that the area is well taken careof a Miss Earth South Africa semi-finalistteamed up with the Custodians of Rare andEndangered Wildflowers (Crew) on a recentvisit to the area to help out.

Situated in the centre of Kenilworth Race-course, the KRCA is regarded as the best ex-ample of sand fynbos remaining in the CapePeninsula. It is also one of the largeststretches of natural vegetation left over inCape Town’s southern suburbs.

It boasts over 300 plant species, 10 mam-mal species, 17 reptile species and elevenfrog species. These include the critically en-dangered micro frog (also known as theCape Flats frog), the endangered Cape pla-tanna and Cape rain frog – all of which areendemic to the South-Western Cape, mak-ing the KRCA a hotspot for amphibian lifeon the Cape Flats.

Miss Earth semi-finalist Andrea vonGunten says no other single urban, naturalvegetation remnant on our planet comesclose in terms of sheer plant species num-bers, relative to physical area.

“It’s educational potential is of great val-ue, as it is located in an urban environment,making it easily accessible for schoolgroups,” she says.

This area shows the biological diversitythat can be found within the boundaries ofthe city, she says.

“We were even fortunate enough to find

a rare and endangered plant, Hessea cinna-momea, that recently came up after the eco-logical burn in February.

“This site should remain protected so thatfuture generations can have an example ofwhat this critically endangered vegetationtype once looked like. Urban nature re-serves are of great importance as they en-compass a vast array of biodiversity,” addsVon Gunten.

The visitors ended the day by donatingwork gloves to the conservation staff andstationery for school group visits.

Von Gunten says she has a passion forconservation and want to use Miss EarthSouth Africa as a platform to create moreawareness around the importance of urbannature reserves.

A rare plant, Hessea cinnamomea, hasflowered in the Kenilworth RacecourseConservation Area after the recent fire. Thearea hosts many special plants and animals,including the endangered Cape Flats frog.

Planned growth in the traffic department isset to reduce offences and accidents.

The City of Cape Town’s traffic service isexpecting to swell its ranks by over 120 newofficers in the next year.

Over 50 traffic officer positions and four su-pervisor positions have been approved, saysJP Smith, mayoral committee member forsafety and security. And there are evenmorein the pipeline.

The City has made provision for the staffappointments in the new budget.

A total of 60 traffic officer posts still needto be approved by the council based on aplanned business model and an additional 20traffic officers are expected to be recruitedto enhance the newly established transportenforcement unit.

“The City of Cape Town’s traffic service is

under-staffed. Road safety has become one ofthe most important focus areas due to thenumber of deaths and the huge financial costof traffic accidents,” he says.

They are set to introduce a dedicated 24-hour service, Smith explains.

“The newmembers will add to the visibili-ty of the service and hopefully help to reducethe number of offences and accidents on theroads. An additional benefit is the indirectpolicing of other crimes,” he says.

But the new traffic officers won’t be the on-ly addition to the service.

A new system, which will use dashboardcameras, is set to be rolled out by the end ofnext year, Smith says.

“The cameras would enhance the enforce-ment of offences by recording the activitiesof the staff. This is something that is used inother countries and has evidential value inthe courts to help with the justice process,”he says.

WHAT A FINE LINE-UP: Fine MusicRadio 101.3 is celebrating twenty yearsof broadcasting, quite a feat for avolunteerbased business. MarkJennings and Rodney Trudgeon hosteda special breakfast show last week,bringing back memories from thestation’s last twenty years. There willbe more opportunities to reminiscethroughout July as listeners areinvited to share their own memoriesof the station by emailing birth[email protected]. All entries will go intoa lucky draw for a grand prize.Listeners can also look forward toother giveaways and some newadditions that underline the uniqueprogramming that keeps the station’sservice fresh.


“Flower arrangement is about the wayyou feel. Your flowers must talk to

someone and they shouldn’t feel sad or lookunrealistic.”

This is what Edith Rule, a follower of theIkenobo school of flower arranging, be-lieves. Rule was speaking at the Ikebanaand bonsai exhibition at the University ofCape Town Irma Stern Museum which washeld last week.

The flowers in the exhibition where putup by her students in freestyle form ar-rangements.

Rule believes flowers are the way peoplecommunicate with nature.

“By freestyle we mean these flowers areable to do what you like them to do. Youmake them look the way you want. Make

them communicate. They must talk to youabout the seasons and they are an expres-sion of what’s happening. Flower arrange-ment is about howyou feel, it’s a connectionbetween you and what is happening in theworld,” she says.

Originally a Japanese concept, Ikebanameans living flowers and is the Japaneseterm for flower arranging. It had its origininBuddhism inChinaandKorea. It broughtabout, through the centuries, a refined artwhich was originally practised by priestsand noblemen and in later centuries by Jap-anese in all walks of life. It became less for-malised over more centuries and is todaypractised by enthusiastic volunteers ofmany different nationalities.

Rule adds that to do flower arrangementproperly one must be aware of your chosenmaterials, their space and their surround-ings.

“Some flowers won’t do well in the houseand some work perfectly on a coffee table.Just know and understand your environ-ment. This will allow your flower to talk toyou the way you want it. Some flowersmight be too big for a house andmore suita-ble for a public space. Flower arrangementis a modern thought into a modern feeling.It’s a way of communication and to expressyourself,” she adds.

To create beautiful ikebana the selectionof different kinds of plantmaterial demandsan experienced eye and considerable tech-nical skill in order to create a kind of beautythat cannot be found in nature.

LEGAL DEDUCTIONS FROM SOCIAL GRANTS

The SASSA Payment Card

Which Deduction Is Legal?

How can SASSA assist social grant beneficiaries with illegal deductions?

Safety tips for all social grant beneficiaries:

one

0800 60 10 11

Western Cape Helpline @ (021) 469 0235 or 0800 60 10 11.

The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA), would like to provide communities with the

following information regarding social grant deductions:

The SASSA branded payment card, was introduced to allow social grant beneficiaries the convenience of

accessing their social grant anywhere and at any time. The SASSA payment card is a debit card and

allows for cash to be withdrawn from ATM's, purchases to be made from suppliers and legal deductions to

be made. The introduction of the SASSA payment card into the banking system unfortunately also

provided an opportunity for social grant beneficiaries to be exploited through unauthorized deductions.

Before the social grant is paid into the bank account of a beneficiary only deduction is allowed to be

made for a funeral policy, which may not exceed 10% of the total value of the social grant. This premium is

deducted by SASSA before the social grant is paid to the beneficiary and then paid over to the relevant

insurance company.

Once the social grant is paid into the bank account that is linked to the SASSA debit card, legal deductions

instituted by financial entities will take effect for purchases that were made ie: airtime, electricity, micro-

loans, credit instalments, policy premiums etc. Any disputes should be resolved directly between the social

grant beneficiary and the entity that instituted the deduction.

Social grant beneficiaries are requested to report any illegal deductions to the nearest SASSA

office/service point where they will be assisted to complete a claim form so that the matters can be

investigated. Alternatively beneficiaries can contact the SASSA call centre @ where

SASSA staff will record the relevant details and refer the matter for investigation. Where beneficiaries have

not authorized deductions or for their SASSA cards/account details to be used by others, the deducted

amounts will be paid back to them. This is usually done within a period of 3 working days. Should any

social grant beneficiary not receive the required assistance from a SASSA office or staff member this must

be reported to the office manager or the

• Do not to respond to SMS messages offering airtime, electricity and other services. By responding

to these messages, beneficiaries are actually taking on a "subscription" service and the amounts

will be deducted off the bank account through the EFT debit system every month.

• Do not use your SASSA payment card as security for loans and to purchase any financial services

products.

• Do not authorize deductions to be made against your card except for the one funeral policy

deduction that should not exceed 10% of the social grant value.X1Q9NXFW-QK070715

Project shows youth the wayMOT South Africa, a NPO that facilitates

a life-skills programme among theyouth, held its sixth annual general meetingin Bellville on Monday 22 June.The Western Cape minister of education

Debbie Schäfer was the keynote speaker.The meeting was attended by 168 mem-

bers, including MOT presenters, principalsat TVET colleges and high schools andMOTyouth members. It was held during nationalYouthMonth, focusing onMOT’s core focus:Strengthening the courage and life-skills ofthe youth.The meeting was opened by Prof Eltie

Links, the chairperson of MOT SA, followedby presentations from five youngsters ontheir experiences, challenges and lessonstheyhave learnt, includinghowMOThas in-fluenced them.Schäfer startedher speechbyhighlighting

the lack of positive rolemodels and a senseof belonging among the youth.“We have to give people confidence and a

sense of belonging. We need to give them a

hand and lift themup out of their vulnerablesituations. We need courage,” she said, im-pressed with the positive energy and excite-ment of the youngsters present.“I am pleased to see the results of this

project on the youth who are living underthe most difficult of circumstances. I amlooking forward to continue a partnershipwith MOT and encourage education depart-ment officials to partner with this project.Young people are South Africa’s future,”said Schäfer.MOTSACEOWandaMöller presented the

2014 annual report and the audited annualfinancial statements were presented byMauricio deFaria, partner atRSMBetty andDickson.Möller acknowledged and thanked the

A new traffic calming policy, aimed at ad-dressing a backlog of requests for speedhumps and with a new focus to protect chil-dren on their way to school, is being consid-ered by the City of Cape Town.According to a statement, residents are

asked to air their views on the new policy.Brett Herron, mayoral committee mem-

ber for transport, explains the City receivesmore than 400 requests for traffic calmingmeasures each year.There is currently a backlog of 500 traffic

calming projects to the value of R30m.Counting among these are requests for

speed humps, raised pedestrian crossings,mini-traffic circles, roadmarkings and roadnarrowing – all devices to force drivers toslow down on residential roads.“Over the past years, we have seen an in-

crease in the number of requests for trafficcalming measures, which can be attributedto the deterioration in driver discipline anda general disregard for the rules of the roadbyall types of roaduser. It has becomeneces-sary to revisit the current regime. As such,a new policy which seeks to prioritise the

implementationof thesemeasureswherepe-destrians, and particularly children, aremost vulnerable.”He explains the purpose of the new policy

is to create a system that is financially sus-tainable, responsive to critical safety prob-lems on residential roads and that will con-tribute to work through the backlog.Part of the new policy proposes that the

transport department implement trafficcalming measures on roads next to existingschools as a matter of priority, with thebenchmark of at least 50 schools per year.It also proposes thatward councillorsmay

identify, motivate and fund traffic calmingmeasures in response to a proven history ofaccidents on a road or in response to a recentand very urgent incident that demands im-mediate intervention.The policy also makes provision for indi-

viduals or organisations to fund trafficcalming measures.V Public participation on the new policy takes placeon Sunday 16 August. You can find the policy at yournearest subcouncil office or library or on www.capetown.gov.za.

Plan for pedestrians


The City of Cape Town has urged residentsnot to fall victim to housing scams whichhave been reported in some parts of the city.Benedicta van Minnen, mayoral commit-

tee member for human settlements, saysthat victims should report it to the police.“It has been confirmed that some resi-

dents have fallen victim to these scams andhave indeed ‘bought’ land or housing unitswhich were promised to them through theseillegal sales,” says Van Minnen in a state-ment.The City confirms that scammers, who

claim to be from the human settlements di-rectorate, have been operating with unau-thorised documents which contain theCity’s official logo.

In somecases, it has been reported that thescammers even send an SMS “allocating” anerf number to the duped resident – but theyhave paid for a non-existent erf.“Residents must note that, should a per-

son qualify in terms of the national criteriafor a subsidy, they must not pay any moneyto anyone to be placed on the housing data-base or to receive a house.”Van Minnen urges applicants to contact

their local housing office to update their de-tails on the housing database so that theycan be contacted easily when their housingopportunity arises.“I also ask those who are not registered to

find out whether they qualify for a subsi-dised housing opportunity.”Potential applicants can apply at a local

housing office. Residents can also contactthe housing call centre on 021 444 0333.

City warns against falling into trap of ‘buying’ housing

One of South Africa’s iconic couples, Archibishop Des-mond Tutu and his wife Leah, last week celebrated their60th wedding anniversary by renewing their vows.In a society plagued by high divorce rates, making it

to 60 years of wedded bliss is nomean feat, which is exact-lywhy it is so important to have such positive rolemodelswhen it comes to marriage.In fact, according to statistics released by StatsSA in

December, nearly half of marriages that end in divorcelast less than 10 years.In our consumer-driven culture, fuelled by instant grat-

ification, “fixing things” is not an idea that comes natu-rally to many people. Coupled with a high dose of over-the-top romance in themedia,manyyoung couples expectmarriage to be like something out of a Nicholas Sparksnovel.Most couples who have been married for a long time

will tell you that their secret is compromise and patience.The reality is that good relationships don’t just happen,theydevelop over time. There’s a fair amount ofwork thatgoes into keeping romance alive.Another “marriage secret” you’ll oftenhear is:A couple

that laughs together stays together. It’s the laughter thathelps keep a couple connected and “in tune” despite thestresses of daily life.We owe it to future generations towork on our relation-

ships. Instead of giving up show them that true romanceis about companionship and not just whirlwind romanceand to teach them the value of happiness that comes fromfamily stability.When previously asked her secret to staying in love for

so many years, Leah Tutu reportedly said: “There is nomagic to making marriage work. A marriage is nevermade in heaven‚ you make it what it is. If you love a per-son‚ it’s simply not enough. Youmust meet halfway‚ giveand take‚ for the rest of your lives”.

Don’t allow crime to ruleIn a recent media report the InteriorMinister of Italy denounced the homagethat arose in Oppido Mamertina, aCalabrian town and mafia stronghold. Aparade held in the town included theclergy, the mayor and high profilefamilies carrying a statue of the Madon-na. The walk took a detour to honour alocal mafia don. This event arose afterPope Francis excommunicated membersof the mafia. The incident validates thedeep connections criminals have withstate structures and the church in Italy.Criminality around the courts of Cape

Town is a warning that should becrushed instantly. Criminals that ap-peared in court, now have followers thatescort them. The fans include preachers;they display placards, stating the inno-cents of the criminal.It is a sad truth that we live in a sick

society. The fact that children andinnocent people are killed by savagesregularly near schools and playgroundsis an outrage. That murder can occur

near a magistrates’ court confirms thedeep contempt that criminals have forlaw and order.We cannot have a situation comparable

to Italy where the political and religiousleaders of a town and perhaps a nationare scared of criminals. Those who haveno respect for the sanctity of the courtsof law and the purity of public spacesmust be removed permanently fromsociety.Our society should not spend limited

tax monies on the rehabilitation orwell-being of criminals. We do not wantinsight into their criminality, we wantthem gone. We need tax and ratepayersmoney to build houses and schools andparks.In the words of the wise, those in

governance, better listen. If crime is notmanaged, soon, peaceful people willresort to required action to protectthemselves and their families.

Whowill benefit from a grand prix in CT?Formula 1 set to come to Cape Town in2016? Will we see an F1 Grand Prix tearup the Mother City’s tarmac in the nearfuture?It happened back in 2013 and now it’s

happening again: rumours that Formu-la 1 may be returning to South Africaare speeding along the grapevine fasterthan Sebastian Vettel in a Ferrari, andthis time around it’s speculated that the

chosen year will be 2016 and that thechosen location just might be ourbeloved city of Cape Town’s AtlanticSeaboard.It will not benefit the so called col-

oureds of Cape Town. Who will itbenefit, who will it enrich and whosefunds will be used?

Parents should become cyber savvyWith the school holidays in full swing, Iappeal to parents to familiarise them-selves with the various social medianetworks that their children use, to helpkeep them safe from online predators.Each social media platform has unique

risks and many children don’t realise thedangers.They underestimate how easily accessi-

ble their information is and forget thatothers are watching their online activity.Talk to your children about the dangersof social media.Social media can be a wonderful tool,

but we need to keep a close eye on itsusage in order to keep our children safe.

ALDERMAN JP SMITHMayco member for safety and security

Act now to preventfuture ‘shedding’We have seen and we are still experienc-ing the utter chaotic demoralising effectload shedding by Eskom has had on ourpersonal and economic lives.All this is due to the fact that foresight

in maintenance and proper managementskills were and are not in place. Thisplague must teach us a lesson and wemust learn as a country that suchshortcomings must never happen again,because it affects the lives of us, thecitizen, in a negative way.We have to look at our water supply

now and ensure that the wells do not dryup. We have to put measures in placenow to ensure that we do not have watershedding. We have to look at our currentmaintenance capabilities and even go sofar as to think of investing in waterdesalination. Our politicians must placethis item on the agenda now for safe-guarding the present and supplyingfuture water resources to man and beast.The other aspect we must deal with nowis the supply and safeguarding of ourfood. No person or animal can survivewithout food so therefore we must putmeasures and plans in place now toensure a continuous, constant cheapsupply of food for now and for the future.The politicians and all role-players haveto amend current legislation in relationto food production in rural and cityareas. The monopoly on food productionby a few for profit has to end andmeasures and plans have to be imple-mented now so that food can always beafforded a place on the table. We canonly imagine what food shedding willlead to and here one has to just peepback at one of the reasons we hadFrench and Russian revolutions.South Africa, to prevent all manners of

future shedding, we as citizens now haveto be vocal and tangible in our efforts toget those we voted in to implementmeasures and to appoint the correctpersons in the various life-giving projectsor we will have such misery it will beunimaginable to describe or to experi-ence.

The South African nationaldarts championship is under-way in Johannesburg until its

conclusion on Friday.The first national champion-

ships were held in Cape Town in1993, which served as the platformfor Darts South Africa (DSA) to beformed through the unification ofall the darting districts and associ-ations in South Africa.

TheWesternCape is representedby four affiliated districts whichform the federation: Cape Town,West Coast, Cape Winelands andEden.

Cape Town Darts is made up ofnine associations, including two-time defending inter-districtchampion Peninsula Darts Associ-ation (PDA).

The other associations are: Ath-lone, Mitchell’s Plain, NorthernSuburbs, Ocean View, South Pen-insula, Southern Suburbs, Sti-

kland and the Western ProvinceDarts Association.

The DSA tournament formatconsists of an inter-regional andinter-district four-a-side competi-tion in which players compete inboth doubles and singles play. Theinter-district competition has sev-en divisions.

Peninsula will be leading thecharge of the Cape Town teams inthe inter-district competition,where they will be chasing an un-precedented third title in a row.

They are unbeaten for the pasttwo years, having not lost a matchat thenational championship since2013.

TheWesternCapewomen’s teamtook national honours in the inter-regional competition last year,while the men’s team finished asthe runners-up in their division.

Peter Bowers, manager of thePDA men’s team, is confident thatthe team is ready to defend its na-tional title. Frank Avenant, LesleyBeukes, Jason Erasmus, Elroy

Dirks, Jason Hendricks, FranklynMiller, Sean Shaw andAshwin Ad-ams will be representing PDA atthis year’s tournament.

Avenant will also compete in theInternational World Darts tourna-ment inTurkey inOctober and rep-resent South Africa there.

Warren Hansen, Cape TownDarts’s transformation official andPDA’s vice-chairperson, echoesBowers’ optimism.

“The only challenger to thethrone is the Western ProvinceDarts Association.

“Western Province has four

players in the Western Cape DartsFederation team as well.”

Hansen also highlights top play-ers in the Cape Town district whocouldmakean impact in this year’sinter-district tournament: “Play-ers who are performing very welland are on top of their game in theregion are Wesley Daries andMar-thinus Grobelaar.

“These two gentlemen were thetwo top performers at the WesternCape Darts Federation trials. Bothplayers are from Cape Town Dartsandwill be representing theWPDAin the inter-district competition.

“The women who are perform-ing very well are Yolanda van Roo-yen from Cape Town Darts, whowill also be representing SouthernSuburbs Darts Association at thenational darts tournament, andMaxi Keet of the Cape Winelandsregion in Paarl,” he says.

Van Rooyen, along with youthplayer Tayla Carolissen, will bejoining Avenant in Turkey as theCape Town locals fly the flag forSouth Africa.

The next Darts South Africacompetition will be hosted inBloemfontein next year.

ment.“The excitement of this competi-

tion is experienced not only in thesenior ranks, but also by the wom-en soccer players and the u.18s,”Peninsula Beverages says in astatement.

sponsibility to develop and nur-ture young talent in the region andpartners like Coke help us to meetour objective,” says Norman Ar-endse, Safa Cape Town’s chairper-son.

“This is the biggest amateursponsored soccer tournament inthe empires of Safa.
