DISTIRCT SIX

Tired of empty promisesGARY VAN DYK

@gvdcapejazz

Former District Six residents are tired ofpromises and want action in their quest

for restitution for their forcible removalfrom the area in the 1960s.At a meeting hosted by the District Six

Working Committee (D6WC), held on Satur-day at the Blackpool Sports Club in Salt Riv-er, the hall was packed with people from dif-ferent historically disadvantaged communi-ties who came to hear howurban restitutionshould be approached and implemented byall the relevant stakeholders in a holisticfashion, starting with the healing process.Some of the important guest speakers in-

cluded Diana Oliver from the RestitutionFoundation, Amelia September and MarioWanza of the Manenberg People’s Forum aswell as local councillor Achmat Williams.Shahied Ajam, chairperson of the organi-

sation, said it is important that the commit-

tee impress upon theminister of rural devel-opment and land reform, Gugile Nkwinti;the City of Cape Town and all relevant stake-holders to develop the entire 30 hectare va-cant land in District Six immediately and si-multaneously, starting with the third phasewhich is currently in progress. “The empha-sis is on densification with sufficient publicspaces and greenery. The urban park inSearle Street bordering Woodstock and Dis-trict Six, as well as the adjacent Trafalgarswimming pool, already serves as open pub-lic spaces in preparation for those thou-sands of people coming back to District Six.”There is some urgent action to take place

with regard to the Good Hope Centre, Ajamsaid. “Wewill legally oppose theCity of CapeTown in court for closing the doors of theGood Hope Centre to the public three weeksago when the City voted unanimously tolease it out to a foreign TV company for thenext two years. The committee and its coali-tion partners launched an urgent applica-

tion to court last week,” explained Ajam.Also discussed was the need to identify

state-owned land within the city peripheryfor those who cannot be accommodated inDistrict Six.“Urbanisation is rapidly increasing and

everybody has a right to the city especiallythose who were previously evicted and dis-possessed during the apartheid era. Integra-tion in the inner-city space is paramount.The walls of racial and spatial segregationcan be broken down in District Six.”Members also passed a unanimous resolu-

tion to the effect that the reference group(who represent the approximately 1000 bene-ficiaries who claimed between 1995 to 1998),be fused with the D6WC and form one entitythat will speakwith one voice for all the peo-ple. The D6WC has a mandate to representover 300 families and is already a legally reg-istered entity with the Department of Tradeand Industry.The D6WC, in addition to assisting the

people of District Six, also assist many otherpreviously disadvantaged communitieswith their respective restitution claims inareas like Ndabeni, Pinelands, Constantia,Goodwood, Newlands Claremont and Si-mon’s Town.“To push the envelope even further the

D6WC is planning a major march to parlia-ment during July to create an awareness tolocal, provincial and national governmentthat the people are serious about dignity res-toration and coming back to the city, soonerrather than later,” said Ajam.“It must not come to a point where, be-

cause government is stalling unnecessary,that the people will start to occupy the va-cant land inDistrict Six soon and build theirownmake-shift houses while waiting for thepowers-that-be to make up their minds. Thepeople are gatvol of waiting for over 21 yearsnow.”V For more information about the committee call021 801 8437 or email enquiries@district6wc.co.za

SLAVE ROUTE CHALLENGE

Honour heritagestep by stepEARL HAUPT

@EarlHaupt

The annual Slave Route Challenge whichsees runners being taken on a route that

encompasses an array of South Africa’smost historical sites, has become a favour-ite on the calendar of novice and elite run-ners alike.The race, taking place on Mother’s Day

(Sunday 8May), howev-er has a much deeperand more personalmeaning, says eventspokesperson FatimaAllie.Having been born in

the Bo-Kaap, Allie wasraised in Walmer Es-tate and went to schoolin District Six and is aself-professed defen-dant of the Cape Ma-lays.“When it comes to the

Slave Route Challengeitself, we look at our an-cestors who came fromIndonesia, Java andMalaysia. They were the ones who camewith all the skill. They were the builders.So my ancestors were not slaves per sé, myancestors were exiled from Indonesia to theCape,” says Allie.She goes on to say that because the slaves

were forced to work and interact with otherlabourers brought to the area, that is howall the cultures started to mix and that asa result started to weave the fabric whichmeshes South Africa’s rich history. “If youlook around, the oldest standing building is

the Castle of Good Hope. The Castle of GoodHope was built by the slaves. You look atCity Hall and the Grand Parade, all of theseiconic and old places and structures inCapeTown were all built by the slaves. Then yourealise that there are so many historicalsites throughout Cape Town that people didnot even know of,” adds Allie.Besides the historical aspect the race af-

fords itself to, Allie says that there is anamazing atmosphere of to-getherness on race day.“It is the spirit of Ubuntu

that you feel. You will see agrandmother who has neverever walked (in an event) inher entire life. She is nowwalking the 5km with hergrandchildren because herdaughter and her husbandare going to be running the10kmwhile their teenager isrunning the 21km, so this isa family event.”Allie reminded those who

still wish to participate inthe 21km race need to enteronline no later than Sunday24 April. She confirmed that

there will still be opportunities to enter theother three events (5km fun run/walk,10km run and 10km big walk) on Sunday 1May as well as Friday 6 and Saturday 7Mayat Cape Town’s City Hall. “Come and ex-plore this whole journey of the Slave RouteChallenge where you run through the Cas-tle, District Six, and Gardens, through theBo-Kaap and the Sea Point area and backonto the Grand Parade where you can seethe beauty of Cape Town.”V To enter visit www.iamrunningfor.co.za

Fatima Allie channels the spirit ofUbuntu when speaking about andwhile helping to organise theSlave Route Challenge.

The Slave Route Challenge will take runners past various historical sites linked to slavery

The international spotlight is once againtrained onCape Town as the city has scoopedtwo major accolades – the 2015/16 TelegraphTravel Awards chose Cape Town as Best Cityand, in Condé Nast’s Reader’s ChoiceAwards, Cape Town took the honour as thenumber one food city in the world.Telegraph Travel Awards chose Cape

Town as Best City for the fourth year run-ning. The awards are voted for by 75 000 read-ers, and, not only was the Mother City votedthe best destination in the world, but SouthAfrica came third in the Best Country seg-ment.Vancouver and Venice took second and

third place respectively in the Best City cate-gory.

Condé Nast noted the variety of food offer-ings Cape Town has, from fish and chips atKalky’s in Kalk Bay to ultra-modern fusionat the Pot Luck Club.Cape Town Tourism CEO, Enver Duminy,

says these accolades reinforce our globalbrand “as one of the best places to explore”.“What makes it most exciting, is that they

reflect the variety of experiences Cape Townhas to offer visitors, from unparalleled natu-ral beauty, to delicious, intimate culinary ad-ventures in our many restaurants,” he says.“They also pave the way for even more in-

novation, entrepreneurship and job creationwithin the tourism sector Let’s hope thatthese awards inspire still more visitors tocome and see what all the fuss is about.”

Trumpeting to the topGARY VAN DYK

@gvvdcapejazz

While Josh Groban may have sung hisway into the hearts of his fans in Cape

Town last week, a young trumpeter fromSACS blew up a storm to make his mark inthe performance.Shaw Komori, a Grade 12 learner at the

school in Newlands, became the talk of thetown on various social media and on someradio chat shows for his performance withthe acclaimed singer at the GrandWest Are-na.While he may have reached some high

notes in his performance, the 17-year-oldmusician is humble about the accolades thathave been pouring in for him and confessesthat there is a lot he still has to learn.“I played on the jazz standard That Ol’

Devil Moon and while I love jazz I am moreclassically trained,” he said.“The performance with Josh Groban was

very exciting and the experience has justbeen more of a motivation for me to followmy dream of becoming a professional – butI want to study the jazzier side of things,”he laughs.Born in Japan as the son of South African

mom and a Japanese father, they moved toSouth Africa when he was six and startedlessons in Grade 4.“My sister played and I wanted to do ev-

erything that she did,” he jokes.“The funny thing is at that young age I

could get a sound out of it the first time Itried, so I knew that it was the instrumentfor me.”How did he end up on stage with Groban?“My teacher, Mike Blake, called my out of

the blue and asked if I have a video of meplaying. He explained that it was for the or-

ganisers of the Groban concert.“When I learned that theywere looking for

a young player to be featured, my first reac-tion was that I was not in that ‘calibre’. Hey,there’s all these hip cats at UCT and otherinstitutions and I was a ‘classical’ player.“But, I did as I was told and then came the

news that I would be playing.”Shaw confessed that he was really not a

Josh Groban “fan”, but the experience hasinspired him to realise howmuch the singersimply loves singing to his audience.“You quickly realise that stardom means

very little to him when he is on stage. It’s

all about the music; his passion for everysong that comes through, and you as a per-former can’t help to be inspired by it.”If you missed the performances with Josh

Groban you don’t have to wait for Shaw’snext call-up from a touring star. He will bea soloist at the school’s SACSConcertoFesti-val that will be taking place on Wednesday18 May from 19:00. Tickets are available atmusicadmin@sacollege.org.za for R80.V To catch a glimpse of Shaw’s performance checkvideos on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yku-uBR1V3tw and a shorter clip on https://www.you-tube.com/watch?v=QrijMJujMmM.

Hundreds of competitors embraced “TheGrind” at Hillcrest Wine and Olive Farmover the weekend.The inaugural event attracts proper ath-

letes, corporate fun-seekers, fitness enthusi-asts and run-of-the-mill adventurers to com-plete an obstacle course.There were different categories that var-

ied from 1km to 8km – some containing sev-en obstacles and others 30.Splashing, running, climbing, hanging

and pulling were just some of the copiousgrinding that will undoubtedly become big-ger and better, year on year.

MOWBRAY MATERNITY

Celebratinga centenaryGARY VAN DYK

@gvdcapejazz

Mowbray Maternity is pregnant!In December it will be giving birth to

some super celebrations to celebrate being100 years old and last week the hospital offi-cially launched its nine month countdownto the celebrations which symbolises thelength of a normal pregnancy.The largest dedicated maternity hospital

in South Africa, Mowbray Maternity offi-cially opened its doors in 1916.Arranged by the hospital’s Health Facili-

ty Board, the occasion last Thursday (14April) provided the opportunity to pay trib-ute to the history and heritage of the re-markable facility.Speaking at the function Western Cape

Minister of Health, Dr Nomafrench Mbom-bo commended the facility for unceasinglyproviding quality maternal services to theresidents of the province throughout theyears. “It is a key priority for the WesternCape Government Health to continuouslydeliver quality maternal and infant healthcare,” she said. “Our flagship, MowbrayMaternityHospital, has greatly assisted thedepartment in achieving and maintainingthis objective, we take this time to thankyou for your sacrifices and dedication.”According to DrMalikah Van Der Schyff,

Chairperson of the Health Facility Boardthe specialist offering of maternal and neo-natal service has contributed to the successof the hospital.Janine Joemat, Chief ExecutiveOfficer of

Mowbray Maternity Hospital says that al-though the facility operates under immenseservice pressures, especially given the risein the need for specialised services for preg-nant females, it has continued to serve thecommunity by providing quality health

care.Joemat highlights that the unique legacy

ofMowbrayMaternityHospital is thanks tothe dedicated and committed staff.“Peninsula Maternity Hospital closed its

doors on 12 January 1992, after serving thecommunity of District Six for more than 70years. The facility amalgamated withMow-bray Maternity Hospital on 13 January1992.“This meant that many of the staff from

Peninsula joined the personnel of Mow-bray.Togetherwith the commongoal of pro-viding quality maternal care to all, staffmembers have played a pivotal role in es-tablishing a ‘family orientated’ culture atthe facility.“Over the years, this unique aspect has

never worn and proven to be the corner-stone of Mowbray’s success,” says Joemat.In 2007,MowbrayMaternity received rec-

ognition for outstanding performance inthe field of health care by winning the “Pre-mier’s Service Excellence Award” for ser-vice delivery in the Western Cape. Othersuccesses include being the first hospital inthe world to deliver sextuplets, the Rosen-kowitz sextuplets who survived infancy.Joemat highlights that although infant

mortality and morbidity is a key focus forthe facility, reduction of maternal deathsare just as important. “The death of a wom-an who leaves behind a young family hasdevastating consequences for these survi-vors, with increased chances of disadvan-tage, illness and premature death, especial-ly in poorer communities.“Mowbray Maternity Hospital is one of

many facilities in South Africa which hasprogressively implemented new HIV/AIDStreatment policies to assist in the reductionof maternal and infant mortality in ourcountry.”

A ribbon cutting ceremony took place at Mowbray Maternity Hospital to launch the facility’scentennial celebrations.

LEGAL TALK WITH DENZIL

Following instructionOver the years I have been askedmany times whether an employercan dismiss an employee, if theemployee refuses to obey an in-struction that falls outside oftheir job description?

This has always been a trickyquestion as the employee’s job de-scription is not always clearlyand precisely defined in their em-ployment contracts.

It is a well-known fact that em-ployees have a duty to act in goodfaith at the workplace, includingthe duty of employees to be subor-dinate and to comply with the in-structions of the employer in re-gard to their duties and work.

Employers have, however, de-veloped job descriptions in orderto allocate certain responsibili-ties to certain employees and tocreate a framework to promote ef-ficiencies and to ensure accounta-bility. The question remains, towhat extent does this impact anemployee’s refusal to performcertain tasks which fall outsidethe scope of their job description?

In Noosi vs Exxaro Matla Coal(June 2015), the Labour Court ad-dressed the issue of insubordina-tion and confirmed an importantlegal principle in regard thereto.

The case involved an electri-cian who had refused to obey theinstructions of the senior fore-man – to cease the operation of aconveyor belt which was operat-ing in dangerous conditions. Theemployee was charged with, interalia, gross insubordination anddismissed. He referred the matterto the CCMA, where the commis-

sioner found that the employeracted appropriately and as a re-sult the dismissal was fair. Theemployee then took the matter onreview where the Labour Courtfound that the test for insubordi-nation is not whether the instruc-tions fall within the job descrip-tion of the employee, but ratherwhether the instructions werereasonable and lawful. The courtheld and supported the position.

Should it be shown that the in-struction was unlawful, it wouldbe the end of the inquiry. If it isfound that the instruction waslawful, the expectation is that theemployee, to whom such instruc-tion was issued, should have com-plied. It will have little, if any, todo with whether the instructionis related to the employee’s job de-scription because it will never bea justification for an employee torefuse lawful instructions merelybecause the instructions are nothis or her direct functions.

This has a two-fold lesson forboth the employer and employee:

. Employers should regularlyensure their employees’ job de-scriptions are accurate.

. Employees still have an over-riding duty of good faith to theiremployers, whether the instruc-tion falls within their job descrip-tion or not, and a failure to com-ply with instructions which arereasonable and lawful may be suf-ficient grounds for dismissal.V This column was contributed by DenzilJacobs, an admitted advocate with ex-pertise in commercial law.

LETTERS

Love isn’t divisionI would like to comment onDallas Broughton’s letter inPeople’s Post of 3 April(“No mercy for those whorape, murder”).

It is hard to fathom thatMr Broughton believes abetter world can comeabout when what heproposes is but replacingone evil with another.Creating even more divi-sion in society than therealready is can only contrib-ute to more of the sameproblems, no solutions.

I believe that it is onlywhen I can let go of my

fear and take a genuineinterest in another fellowhuman being that changecan possibly come about.To condemn another’sactions is to not under-stand. Love does not divide.Trust begets trust. I, too,can fail and go astray. Thepotential for evil is also inme.

May Mr Broughton oneday find that where loverules the world is changed,one small but significantmoment at a time.

Changing the livesof learners in needGARY VAN DYK

@gvdcapejazz

The memory of Nelson Mandela’s dedica-tion to using education as a tool for

change is the motivation for some learnersat the South African College School (SACS)making sure that some needy children havethe basics for school.“Education is the most powerful weapon

that you can use to change the world.”These are the words from Nelson Man-

dela that inspired Grade 12 learners Matt-hew Begg, Ben Defty, Nicholas Clemo, andTodd Sundstrom, from the school in Ron-debosch, to make a difference in the livesof learners in need.Last year they started the project, 67 Kids

to School, that aimed to sponsor 67 childrenwith a school starter pack that contained aschool bag, school shoes, socks and station-ery.Speaking on behalf of the group Matthew

Begg said that they chose the number 67 foreach of the 67 years that Nelson Mandelaserved this country. “We sought sponsors,donations and support to reach our goal ofR12 500, which would enable us to assemble67 school starter packs and luckily , for 67donations came pouring in and completelyexceeded our expectations after we sent outthe initial appeal inSeptember last year, viaour Facebook page.“Due to the overwhelming support re-

ceived, raising R36 000 in cash and a furtherR8 000 donations in kind, we made the deci-sion to expand the packwewould be provid-ing to each of the 67 children to include a

backpack, bookbag, anuniform that includ-ed a shirt, pants or tunic, shoes and a pairof socks. We also gave them a 1kg bag ofmaize meal and a full stationery kit.”Matthew added that there was also a bo-

nus when they supplied Ukhanyo PrimarySchool with 10 soccer balls to aid the chil-dren in their extra-mural activities.“Wepartneredwith an amazing organisa-

tion called Living Hope that works closelywith the Masiphumelele community andhelped us identify the 67 needy children andsize of each of them for uniforms,” he con-tinued. “We’re immensely grateful for theirassistance without which we would nothave been able to complete the project andgive 67 kids confidence in starting their for-mal schooling years.”The final handover took place onTuesday

12 January at the Masiphumelele BaptistChurch. “We felt proud that we had beenable to make such a difference to the livesof these children and howmuch these basicnecessities that we often take for grantedmeant to them,” said Matthew.“Particularly moving for us was one of

the little boys, Sinako Velo, 6, whose fami-ly’s homewas burnt down in the Novemberfires, expressing his desire to be a fire-fight-er when he grows up.”While this project saw them getting the

LeadSA Youth Heroes Award for Marchthey are not resting on their laurels afterrealising how many are in need of such astart for their education.V Schools who are interested in starting a group cancall Matthew on 082 754 9770 or email 67kidsto-school@gmail.com.

PEOPLE’S POST SOUL SISTERS MOTHER’S DAY CELEBRATION

porate events while Michelle adds thatthey’re working on “more and more goodmusic”. Sthe meanwhile is also workingwith Idols contestants alongside her studiowork with Three Tons of Fun.

cally.”Michelle: “To keep delivering to our audi-

ences and to continue traveling all over theworld asmuchas possible, so that people cansee what South Africans are capable of.”Sthe: “Traveling and more traveling. It

could be nice to get more public shows be-cause we in the corporate world.”

. How will you be treating your moth-er this Mother’s Day?Bulelwa: “She camedownnow for an early

Mother’s Day as I won’t be able to see her

then, so I’m pampering her to the moon andback.”Michelle: “My sister and I will be having

porter, she always believed in me and mydreams to become a performer. I would nev-er have come this far and been this success-ful without her.”Sthe: “She is so special to me because I’m

where I am today because of her: she is astrong, powerful, intelligent woman who re-spects and loves God. She prays for her chil-dren more than herself. She’s more than amother; she’s my best friend. We talk aboutalmost everything. She is proud of me andshe always wants the best for all her chil-dren. She is my all and I love her so much.”

Steenberg shinesin charity driveThe Steenberg Golf Club’s Ladies section

has set a solid benchmark at the startof this year’s club competitions for the

Sanlam Cancer Challenge as they raisedR19 000 in the effort to support the CancerAssociation of South Africa (Cansa).

The Sanlam Cancer Challenge is South Af-rican golf’s biggest charity drive in the fightagainst cancer and has teed off its 23rd yearat golf clubs around the country, with thou-sands of amateur golfers joining together totry and beat the over R3.5m raised last year.

From March to July, amateur golfersaround South Africa will take part in theirlocal golf club’s Sanlam Cancer Challengegolf dayswith the double aimof raisingmon-ey for CANSA as well as trying to qualify fortheir respective regional finals.

The winners of the regional finals, whichwill be played from July to August, will thenqualify for the National Finals to be playedon both the Gary Player Country Club andLost City Golf Club courses at Sun City from

9 to 2 October.And in this shared spirit of being proact-

ive in the battle against cancer, 48 golfersfrom the Steenberg Ladies section did theirbit to work together as “Wealthsmiths” forthe greater good of their community.

“The Sanlam Cancer Challenge is a popu-lar event on the Steenberg Ladies golf calen-dar. There has always been overwhelmingsupport of this fundraising initiative atSteenberg as many of our members are can-cer survivors whilst others have lost friendsand family members to this illness,” said DiBrooks, Steenberg Ladies committee mem-ber.

“The Sanlam Cancer Challenge repre-sents not only an opportunity to raise fundsfor a worthy cause but also for our membersto compete regionally and nationally. Steen-berg members have historically done well inthe Regional Finals and last year two of ourmembers, Peter Terrblanche and Gwen Or-tlepp, qualified for the finals, with Gwen fin-

ishing second in the A Divisionnationally. It was a fantastic op-portunity for these players to playat Sun City and to meet a numberof interesting players fromaround the country.”

The purpose of the Sanlam Can-cer Challenge is to raise funds andawareness annually for the fightagainst cancer. In 2015, a total of35 863 golfers played in 780 clubcompetitions held around thecountry in support of Cansa’s pre-vention programmes and patientcare support through the year.V For more information visit www.san-lamcancerchallenge.co.za

Last year South African golfers helped to raised R3.5mfor CANSA through the Sanlam Cancer Challenge.
