Metrorail ticket troublesGARY VAN DYK

@gvdcapejazz

Metrorail staff’s methods of dealingwith the public have come under thespotlight after a young man’s experi-

ence left him traumatised.Liam Brown, 19, from Woodstock foundthat pointing out bad manners can land youin hot water if you deal with Metrorail staffat Parow Station.He explains that on Tuesday 28 June heboarded a train at Woodstock to start hisnight shift at a Parow factory.“The problem started when the ticket box(atWoodstock) was closedwhen I got there,”he says.“Normally this is not a problem, and therewas a number of people who could not pur-

chase tickets when they got onto the train.“When we got to Parow we explained thesituation to the staff at the barriers and wewere taken to what seemed to be a canteenor staff area because therewas lockers in theroom. From the start the woman who wasthere to write out the tickets was very rudeto the people. When it came for me to get aticket and I told her that the officewas closedat Woodstock, like others had told her, butshe just refused to listen to me and told methat I must not have an attitude.“I pointed out that she was the one withattitude because of her rudeness to the peo-ple and how she must respect people espe-cially older people. That really upset her andshe ordered the other staff present to searchme and that I must give them all of my mon-ey.

“That is when I panickedand tried to get away but oneof the conductors grabbed meand head-butted me and toldme that they were going tokeep me there until I paid.“I tried to explain that theywere making me late for myshift but they refused to listento me and because I did nothave a phone asked one ofthem to letme callmymother.“After I called her and ex-plained the situation I askedto see their supervisor but gotno help from him as well.”While Liam’s mother,Nicky Asher-Pedro, tried toget family in Ravensmead to go to the sta-

tion, he was kept at the sta-tion for about an hour.“My mother eventuallycalled back to the phone thatI used and I don’t knowwhatshe said to them but theyeventually letme leavewhenone ofmyuncles arrived andI paid the normal price forthe ticket.”Asher-Pedro confirmedthat she was very worriedwhen she got the call fromher son.“I told them that they haveno right to abuse their powerand assault people,” shesays.

Buc the builderWhen visitors to theClockTower

and Silo Districts report sight-ings of a fluffy black dog wearing aluminous yellow construction vest,V&A Waterfront staff smile andquickly reassure them that Buc issimply a member of the Silo Dis-trict’s construction team.Every day, Buckaroo the Belgium

shepherd – known to his familiarsas Buc – accompanies owner PaulEdgecome from Noordhoek to theWaterfront, where he works on siteas a surveyor. But while contrac-tors regardBuc as simply amemberof the team, he is greeted with in-credulous stares by the public, whoall want to pat him.And Buc is happy to oblige.Buc’s primary job on site is to

guard Paul’s equipment and senseof humour, a job he does well exceptwhen droëwors is on offer. Then, ac-cording to Paul, “his brain shutsdown”.Paul and Buc have been involved

with the Silo District constructionproject since the tail end of the nowcompletedNo. 1 andNo. 2 Silo build-ings. They are currently involvedwith the construction of the remain-ing No. 3 Silo through to No. 6 Silo,and the conversion of the historicGrain Silo into the Zeitz Museum ofContemporary Art Africa.Initially, Bucwasunsure of the la-

bourers in their heavy boots, over-alls and hard hats, and barkedwhenever he encountered them.Paul asked the labourers to say “hel-lo” to Buc whenever they encoun-tered him, and their friendly tone

soon convinced Buc that they werefriends. Today he happily runs up togreet them.During the demolition phases at

the Zeitz MOCAA construction site,Buc needed to wear special ear-muffs, which he did reluctantly.These had to be attached to his con-struction bib as he sometimes re-belled and removed them with hispaw.If Buc becomes uncomfortable

with the noise level, he opts for “ad-ministration work” in the construc-tion office. If the door unlocked, hewill open it with his paw, or he willnudge someone to unlock the doorfor him. While there, he takes abreak from “work” by napping un-

der Paul’s desk.Unlike his owner, Buc has a head

for heights andwill fearlessly travelwith the crew in lifts or up a flightof scaffolding stairs.Although construction is dusty

work, Buc cleans up with a goodswim in the damat the top of Redhilland in the stream at NoordhoekCommon.Buc’s “work”may not be as essen-

tial to the Silo District project asPaul’s, but everyone on site willagree that he brings a positive influ-ence to the job.Although a construc-tion environment is a stressful one,Buc’s presence lightens everyone’smood and has a general calming in-fluence.

FROM PAGE 1“When I asked for their names theyrefused to give it to me and thewoman that I spoke to told me Ihave an attitude and switched offthe phone.“My brother-in-law managed to

go to the station and was shockedto see how distraught Liam was.They tried to convince him thatthey had not assaulted my son.“I just want the public to know

their rights in this type of situa-tion.”Many commuters have reported

incidents whereticket offices areclosed.Estelle Mathee works in Wood-

stock and adds that many of herstaff from as far afield as the KuilsRiver andBellville areas and in thesouthern suburbs from Retreatand Steenberg have experiencedproblems.“Many of them have to leave for

work before the offices are open,”she says.“The problems start when they

get to their destination and theyhave to convince staff at the barri-ers that the offices were closedwhen they started their journey.”Trevor Vosloo is from a business

based in Claremont who has alsoexperienced the same problems.“My staff have also experienced

the same situation and it does nothelp when the trains do not run ontime or are delayed.“I hope that Metrorail can assist

by informing all their staff at barri-ers what the proper process iswhen people start their journeysbefore offices open.We understandthat people must not travel for freebut whymust they be punished forsomething that is not their fault.”Metrorail spokesperson, Riana

Scott, has responded in a state-ment: “Metrorail is obliged to en-sure that all commuters travel le-gally. Travelling without a validticket or in the incorrect travellingclass for the ticket purchased is acriminal offence in terms of the Le-gal Succession Act.“Hundreds of fare-paying com-

muters complain daily about fel-low non-paying passengers invad-ing premium space in Metropluscarriages – it adds unnecessarypressure to already over-sub-

scribed ultra-peak hours. Metro-rail reserves the right to levy abooking fee (currently R40) and/orprosecute persons without validtrain tickets. Commuters issuedwith such a booking feemust insiston a receipt.”Ticket office hours are generally

determined by the timetable, anal-ysis of ticket sales and passengernumbers using the particular sta-tion, Scott says. “Should a ticket of-fice at the origin station be closed,commuters are obliged to purchasea ticket either on the train fromteams with portable ticket issuingmachines or at their destinationstation before exiting.“Those found to be in contraven-

tion of the law, are required towaitat the station in a designated areauntil they have been processed.Many ‘defaulters’ offer reasons/ex-planations/excuses for havingtransgressed the lawandMetrorailemployees have the unenviabletask to make a judgment call as towhose emergency is valid or not.Verification staff must confirmthat the ticket office at the commut-er’s station of origin was closed.”Until modernisation brings the

requisite technology (automatedticket vendingmachines and ticketscanners), Metrorail currently isleft with no option but to rely onhuman intervention, Scott says.“The most effective way to dealwith the matter is through specialactions. Optimal deployment of re-sources is based onanalysis of tick-et sales and commuter numbers.These include random actions ontrains and at stations with space toprocess commuters.“We do not condone any miscon-

duct by our security personnel oremployees and commuters shouldnot be subjected to unacceptablebehaviour. We encourage individ-uals to open a case of assault withthe police if behaviour warrantsthat or report non-conforming em-ployee behaviour to ctcom-plaints@metrorail.co.za, citing allrelevant details such as date, time,station, descriptionof individuals/incident and contact details of anyeyewitnesses, all of which will as-sist in applying successful disci-plinary action.”

Lwando Zinto from Phillipi isthe pride of Violets Rugby

Club based in Kenwyn.On Tuesday 21 June he stood

proud at the Newlands RugbyStadium to be capped as part ofthe Western Province u.18 squadtaking part in the Craven WeekSchools Rugby competition thisweek.This is a unique achievement

as he is the only club rugby rep-resentative that will get to donthe famous blue and whitehooped jersey in the high schoolscategory at the tournament thisyear.Getting into the side was not

easy and it took some help froma schools coach atGroote SchuurHigh to help make the dream areality.Lwando explains that he is

originally from the Eastern Capewhere he already representedthe EP Academy team but thefamily had tomove to Cape Townat the end of 2015.“I was sad to leave the Eastern

Cape but I looked ahead and sawthis as an opportunity.“I made my intention to play

rugby to for WP and I even toldmyself that I was going to attendone the famous rugby schools inthe Newlands area but as itturned out, I was not luckyenough to receive a scholarshipas I hoped.”The strapping prop had to at-

tend Sinethemba SecondarySchool in Phillipi but he was notprepared to give up his passionfor playing rugby.“I was advised to approach

Moegamat (MG) Gallant who isthe head of rugby as well as thedirector of the life coaching pro-gramme at Groote Schuur High

School. He is also the director ofcoaching at Violets Rugby Cluband thatmeetingmade the differ-ence,” he says.Gallant says when hemet with

Lwando he knew that the youngman was passionate about hisaims in life – especially hisdream to play rugby.“He spoke to me with passion

and determination,” says Gal-lant.

“One thing that stood out forme that morning was that Lwan-do was crystal clear in the visionhe had for himself.“I decided immediately to help

Lwando to reach his desired goalbecause life coaching works bestwhen a person is clear aboutwhat they want to achieve.”Gallant added that Lwando’s

commitment was evident fromthe moment he instructed theplayer to attend a club trainingsession.“I knew hewould have a trans-

portation challenge but I neededto test his commitment and I pur-posefully left him to find his own

way to the Violets SportsGrounds in Kenwyn,” says Gal-lant.“I was not surprised to see him

being the first arriving player atthe training session later thatday.”That memorable meeting has

led to his inclusion in the West-ernProvince schools team that istaking part in the competition inDurban starting on Thursday 7

July.“Being selecteded to play for

WP is a dream come true,” saysLwando.“I’m looking forward to mak-

ing my club, my parents andcoachproudwhen I runout therein representation of the blue andwhite.Lwando send a message to

those hoping to play provinciallyin the future: “To the youngerkids in theWestern Cape I wouldlike to say first of all, no matterwhere you come from and nomatter what happened to you inthe past, that should not decideyour future.”

There are many troubled com-munities across the peninsula

where healing is needed and the In-stitute of Healing of Memories inClaremont works on empoweringthose communities.

The organisation recently host-ed a gala fund-raising dinner at theTaj Hotel on Thursday 23 Junewhere the focus was on the impor-tant work that they do in variousareas.

Founded in 1998 as a parallelprocess to South Africa’s Truthand Reconciliation Commission,the institute seeks to contribute tothe healing journey of individuals,communities and nations. It offershealing of memories workshopswhich provide safe spaces for indi-viduals to deal with the negativepsychological, emotional and spiri-tual effects of the past.

“We work with refugees, peopleaffected by HIV and AIDS and peo-ple in prison,” says Francoise Bar-tley of the organisation.

“We provide peaceful ways forindividuals and communities todeal with the ongoing impact of thepast on their psyches throughworkshops and community dia-logues.”

RestoringHumanity is the youthdevelopment project of the insti-tute, Bartley says. “Just one exam-ple of its pioneering and empower-ingworkwithyoungpeople is pres-ently showcasedwith its interfaithGodHasManyNames exhibition atThe District Six Museum.“At this time of turbulence in

South Africa the institute has aunique contribution tomake to thehealing of the nation.

“The founder of the institute, Fa-therMichael Lapsley, was recentlyawarded the 2016 InternationalPeace Prize for his contribution tohealing and reconciliation acrossthe world.”

The fund-raising dinner broughttogether a cross-section of civil so-ciety, faith communities, business,and diplomats, united in a sharedcommitment to making the insti-tute’s work more sustainable.

Archaeological Society searches for slave ships

South Africa’s Council for Alcohol Depend-ency and Addiction to Drugs (Sanca) com-memorated Drug Awareness Week lastweek, which took place from Friday 24 toThursday 30 June.

This year, student accommodation groupStag African raised concern about theabuse of so-called “smart drugs” by univer-sity students.

In a growing and increasingly pressuredteriatry education system, some studentsare turning to prescription medications inorder to enhance concentration during ex-ams.

Alarmhas been raised in SouthAfrica be-fore, but as yet no quantified data exists onthe extent of the problem.According to San-ca, the drugs most frequently peddled onSouth African campuses are Ritalin andConcerta – reportedly readily available out-side campus libraries during exam periods.A survey conducted by online forum TheStudent Room found that one in 10 studentsin the United Kingdom has used medica-tions typically used to treat ADHD for thepurpose of studying. A quarter say they arelikely to use themat somepoint in their uni-versity careers.

According to Stag African, the statisticsin South Africa may be similarly concern-ing. “There are numerous pressures placedon students in South Africa that intensifythe drive to turn to prescription drugs in or-der to cope with workload. Due to the on-

campus housing shortage, many studentsdo not have access to university-basedstudying resources – such as the internet ortext books. Students often end up pullingall-nighters in the library, due to long dis-tances and unreliable transport, whichmakes getting home at night difficult andat times dangerous,” says John Schooling,Stag African’s director.Those students that live away from home

can become even more isolated and desper-ate, particularlywhen facedwith the transi-tion from home and school support struc-tures to largely anonymous campus resi-dences. “Where a student lives is critical totheir success; these spacesneed to be as sup-portive as possible, while still enabling theindependence students crave.”Local and international research has

demonstrated that residences built to be“living communities” provide studentswith better support and healthier lifestylesthan large-scale housing or isolated flats.Schooling says Stag student houses pro-

vide an important, comfortable structure tostudents by keeping resident numbers low,integrating top-notch tech and encouragingcommunal cooking and study. “The pres-sures ofworkload and adult life still presenta challenge to students – but providing com-munity structure and adequate accommo-dation will help curb unhealthy habits, ri-diculous hours and the substance consump-tion that comes hand in hand with that.”

Alarm over ‘smartdrugs’ as study aid

PEOPLE'S POST | CLAREMONT | RONDEBOSCHTuesday, 5 July 20166 NEWS

Sewing a storyof progressIn the build up to the Interna-tional Aids Conference in Dur-ban (Monday 18 to Saturday 22July), a local exhibition of 17quilts made by people affectedby HIV will tell the story of whathas been achieved since the lasttime the conference was held inSouth Africa in the year 2000.

TB/HIV Care Association, aCape Town based NGO, was on-ly one of several organisationsSouth African National AidsCouncil (Sanac) approached tocreate quilts.

In 2000, antiretroviral treat-ment was not yet widely availa-ble, stigma and discriminationwere widespread and the out-look was bleak.

These quilts tell a very differ-ent story.

South Africa now has thelargest antiretroviral treatmentprogramme in the world, amother-to-child transmissionrate of less than two percent andhas witnessed an increase of

more than 10 years in life ex-pectancy over the past decade,says Zolani Barnes, manager ofTB/HIV Care.

“These visual stories providevaluable insight into the livesbehind the statistics,” Barnesexplains.

TB/HIV Care unveiled thequilts at an event at Haas Collec-tive on Buitenkant Street onThursday 23 June.

The 4m² quilts tell the storiesof the people who made them –people involved in the organisa-tion’s programmes, includingpeople who inject drugs, sexworkers and prison inmates, aswell as those dedicated to sup-porting them.

Three of these unique andpowerful tapestries of life wereauctioned on the night and all ofthe quilts will be submitted tothe international HIV QuiltProject to be sewn into the mainquilt of more than 100 000 quiltsfrom all over the world.

This quilt, one of those on display by TB/HIV Care, symbolises thejourney of women who were and are still most affected by HIV.

July is Psychiatric DisabilityAwareness Month and this year

Cape Mental Health (CMH), a lead-ing mental health service provid-er, is raising awareness of the bar-riers in accessing medication andcommunity-based resources forpeople with psychiatric disability.

To launch the campaign, CMHinvited the public to show theirsupport in breaking down barriersfaced by people with psychiatricdisabilities at St Georges Squareon Thursday 30 June.

They were asked to remove abrick from a two-metre wall de-signed by local artist Adiel Jacobsto symbolise their support in re-moving barriers.

Health is a fundamental humanright, indispensable for the exer-cise of many other rights, and isnecessary for living a life of digni-ty, CMH says in a statement.

“The health of people with psy-chiatric disability is largely ne-glected by the public health caresystem in South Africa. For manyservice users access to and theavailability of psychotropic medi-cation is essential to their own re-covery and management process.Medication plays a key role in thetreatment of co-occurring disor-ders; it also reduces symptoms andprevents relapse.”

The lack of funding for commu-nity-based resources continues to

be a serious problem, CMH states.“A large number of studies re-

veal gaps in community-based psy-chosocial rehabilitation pro-grammes, particularly in rural ar-eas, which suggest that the‘revolving door’ phenomenon ispartly due to inadequate communi-ty-based care, including psychoso-cial rehabilitation.”

There is therefore an urgentneed to develop more community-based mental health services(which include community-basedresidential care, day services, sup-

port services and outpatient servi-ces), in keeping with internationalbest practices, the statement reads.

“We ask the government to in-vest in the upscaling of mentalhealth care services as a matter ofurgency. It is the government’sconstitutional obligation to ensurethat people living with a psychiat-ric disability have access to healthcare services (which includes af-fordable medication with the leastside effects) and community-basedresources) and that their right todignity is realised and restored.”

OnSunday 3 July theTwoOceansAquari-um and organisations around the world

marked International Plastic Bag Free Day.Thedayaims to raise awareness about the

unnecessary use of single-use plastic bags.The Two Oceans Aquarium supports a

ban of single use plastic shopping bags inSouth Africa through its Rethink the Bagcampaign.The campaign was launched by Hayley

McLellan, the aquarium’s environmentalcampaigner, who has worked tirelesslysince 2010 to educate, establish partner-ships and promote the campaign.Many countries around the world have

banned these bags. Rwanda did so in 2008and more recently the island chain of Ha-waii, Mauritius and Madagascar. Francewill have banned the bag by end 2016.Single-use shopping bags have a tremen-

dous impact on the environment, McLellansays.“South African consumers use approxi-

mately eight billion shopping bags eachyear. Of these about 96% end up in landfilland also threaten the lives of marine andterrestrial animals. Research has shownthat the average functioning lifespan of ashopping bag is approximately 20 minutes,whereafter it is discarded,” she says.“Every day we hear about what is going

wrong in the environment and this can feeldisempowering. Always choosing reusablebags, rather than plastic bags, is such a sim-ple way for each person to do something tobenefit ourworld and feel like they aremak-ing a difference, seemingly against theodds.”There is also an economic impact for

South African consumers, McLellan says.

“In 2003 a levy was included in the priceof each shopping bag sold in South Africa.Between 2004 and 2014, R1.2bnwas collectedthrough this levy.OnlyR200mof thismoneyhas been allocated to the Department of En-vironmental Affairs. In 2011 the companythat was established to manage the fundsgenerated by the bag levy, was disbanded.However, consumers continue to pay thebag levy every time they purchase a single-use plastic shopping bag.”Animals (marine and terrestrial) mistake

plastic bags for food. Once ingested, the ani-mals die from intestinal blockages and star-vation. Eighty percent of all marine litter isplastic and plastic bags can last between 500and 1000 years before they degrade.V To show your support of the Rethink the Bag cam-paign, visit www.rethinkthebag.org and sign the peti-tion to urge the government to ban plastic bags

LEGAL TALK WITH DENZIL

When is it murder?Over the past few years there hasbeenmuch debate about the differ-ence between murder and culpa-ble homicide.It is only recently, with the Os-

car Pistorius trial, that the differ-ence between the two concepts hasbeen debated and become a hottopic on social media. It has cer-tainly raised interesting yet con-troversial issues.This is largely controversial and

not clear as one would think, espe-cially after the Supreme Court ofAppeal set aside the finding andconviction of the court a quo onculpable homicide of Pistorious,and substituting it with a findingof murder. As a consequence, theaccused sentence was trumped upto a minimum of 15 years.Murder is a serious offence and

can be punishable by a minimumsentence of up to 15 years to life.Culpable homicide is less seriousand could be punishable by only afew years depending upon the cir-cumstances.The assumption by some laypeo-

ple is that if an accused kills a vic-tim, the action is automaticallyperceived as murder. That posi-tion is incorrect.As a result of the above percep-

tion, many asked the question:“Why Oscar was not charged withmurder as opposed to the the less-er crimeof culpablehomicide?”Aswe know this has now been substi-tuted and his charge has now beenchanged to murder and we areawaiting the sentence that fits therevised charge.In a nutshell, the difference be-

tween the charges is rather sim-ple: murder requires intentionwhile the culpable homicide re-quires negligence.Murder is the intentional, un-

lawful killing of another humanbeing. Murder therefore requiresthat the accused acted with the in-tention to kill. In other words, theaccused strategically planned theunlawful act of murder. Alterna-tively, it can be “legal intention”as discussed below.Culpable homicide, however, is

deemed a potentially unforeseea-ble, unplanned accident.The fundamental question, from

a criminal law perspective, did theaccused actwith the intentionnec-essary for a charge of murder?In recent years the concept of in-

tention has extended to cover notjust deliberatebut foreseeable con-duct.The accused does not mean nor

intend for the unlawful act to hap-pen, but he must have foreseenthat it might happen. This is re-ferred to as dolus eventualis.An example of dolus eventualis

is where someone decides to burna block of apartments occupying20 families.Hemight not have had the clear

intention to kill anyone in theapartments but the law recognisesthat he intended the death of somepeople by his actions. In essence,by foreseeing the possibility ofdeath (however remote) and act-ing regardless, he had the inten-tion to commit murder.Importantly, the accused does

not have to foresee the result as a

probable outcome of his conduct,but he must at least have foreseenthe outcome as a possibility.In a nutshell, the test for dolus

eventualis is whether the accusedforesaw the remote possibility ofharm. It is then deemed “legal in-tention” and the charge will bemurder.Culpable homicide, likemurder,

is a form of unlawful killing. Thedifference is that murder is inten-tional, whereas culpable homicideis a negligent act of killing.How does the court draw that

distinction?The court uses an objective test

to ascertain if the act was negli-gent. In otherwords, to shownegli-gence the Prosecution must showthat a “reasonable man” in the po-sition of the accused, would nothave foreseen the death as a resultof the consequences.The question is therefore: did

the accused foresee the possibilityof killing someone when he firedthe gun (culpable homicide) ormust the accused have foreseenthe possibility of killing someone(murder)?The test is one of the “reasonable

man” – the court will examinewhat the objective circumstancesof a “reasonable man” would havebeen in the situation of the ac-cused.The conclusion of the examina-

tion will determine the outcome.V This column was contributed by DenzilJacobs, an admitted advocate with ex-pertise in commercial law. For guidance onlegal issues email him on dr.ddj@hotmail.com.

Thanks to themen in blueLast Tuesday evening around21:00 I had a most terrifyingexperience while driving on theM3 highway between the Lady’sMile on-ramp and the Tokaioff-ramp.My car was sideswiped by an

out-of-control vehicle which flewon for about 50 meters and slidoff into the ditch.Thankfully, I was in the right

lane and was able to stop, turnon hazards and move off theroad into the emergency lane.A few moments later a metro

police vehicle arrived andseeing my hazards and myflashing lights turned back andtook control.I just want to say how

re-assuring, comforting andorganised they were.There was also a Kirstenhof

neighbourhood communityofficer, Hadyn, who was simplymarvellous and transported meto Kirstenhof Police Stationwhere again I received theupmost courtesy.I was advised not to attempt

to drive my car and agreed to

accept the assistance and adviceof an AA affiliated recoveryagent.As I am a member of the AA

I saw no problem with that, butin the next few days the releasecost of the vehicle was aproblem and resulted in a delayin my car being sent forassessment and repair.However the purpose of this

letter is in praise of our veryoverworked police force and ourdedicated emergency workerswho have to deal with all thesesituations – many much morehorrific than mine.We get daily negative reports

about our police force so I thinkin my case a little praise is inorder.The good news is that there

were no serious injuries to themany occupants of the unli-censed vehicle, driven by anuninsured and unlicenseddriver.My most sincere thanks to all

who were involved.M.A. JOHNSTONMarina da Gama

hands and building materials for improve-ments to the home’s kitchen and bathroom.Some windows and door frames need to

be replaced, tiling or flooring for the facilityneeds attention. A new bathroom suite, hot

water geyserandpaintingwill also addcom-fort.The facility is also looking for a new or

second-hand fridge in good working orderand a washing machine to hold a biggerthan normal load.There are also plans for some extensions

to the building to allow for more livingspace.V Grocery and clothing donations can be dropped offat People’s Post office (3rd floor, Bloemhof building,112 Edward Street, Bellville) before Friday 15 July.Readers who wish to donate bigger items, buildingmaterial or offer their services can contact the Peo-ple’s Post office on 021 910 6500 or post@peoples-post to pledge their support.

A R10m grant has been awardedto Robben Island Museum.

Themuseumwas awarded a des-tination development grant fromthe National Department of Tour-ism, which aims to enhance thevisitor experience through sup-porting identified and plannedcomponents, the department saysin a statement.The current support focus is on

capacity development of touristguides, digitisation of heritage in-formation and archives, improv-ing visitor information services,increasing existing and introduc-ing additional food and beveragefacilities, as well as a craft centre.Robben Island Museum had not

commented at the time of going toprint.Cape Town Tourism CEO, Enver

Duminy, says Robben Island, asone of Cape Town’s Big Seven at-tractions, is a “must-do” experi-

ence for locals and visitors alike.“TheRobben IslandMuseumcan

only benefit from funding of thisnature in that it will be able to pro-vide and maintain world-class fa-cilities,” he says.In December there was a 43% in-

crease in the number of visitors tothe world heritage site comparedto the previous year, Duminy says.“The attraction reported that the

number of locals visiting the at-traction doubled inDecember com-paredwith the same period in 2014.It’s essential that locals exploretheir own environment, especiallyattractions such as Robben Islandthat play a key role in our heri-tage,” he says.There were 341 000 visitors to

Robben Island in 2015 – an increaseof 3.7% over 2014. However, 46 793tickets were sold for the attractionin December alone – 15% morethan the amount sold during the2010 SoccerWorld Cup in SouthAf-rica.“Robben Island was recently

chosen as South Africa’s most-loved landmark in the Trip Advis-or Traveller’s Choice Awards – anindication that it holds our interestand is central to tourism in theMother City.”Robben Island has already ex-

panded its fleet of ferries by part-nering with Waterfront Charters,making use of their six mediumand large sized boats, Duminysays.“This increase in capacity will

aid in ensuring visitors are able toaccess the attraction. Future plansinclude a 200-seater restaurant, theintroduction of a state-of-the-artvisitor information centre, train-ing of tour guides, developingtours of different lengths to keepvisitors on the island for longerand bicycle tours on the island.”Next year the attraction turns 20

years old, and funding can be usedto accelerate the planning and ac-tion phases so that all the innova-tive ideas can be implemented, Du-miny believes.

Greenwood totackle IdolsJOSEPH PILLAY

Quite a few mouth-watering soccermatches are scheduled for Sunday inthe Round of the Last 64 in Safa CapeTown’s lucrative and ever-popular Co-

ca-Cola Cup knockout competition.At the time of going to press, the regional

body Safa Cape Town had not finalized theavailable venues or those fields suited to begood condition to host the fourth round ofmatches in the Cape Peninsula.

This is the 20th chapter of the Coca-ColaCup competition and it is a replica of whatthe FA Cup is to their English FA adversa-ries and has attracted over 500 amateurteams throughout the region.

Nonetheless it is all systems go and highamong the people’s choice will be the clashbetween last years’ Coca-Cola Cup champi-ons Young Idols and Greenwood Athletic.

The Retreat-based side Greenwood Athlet-ic is currently enjoying a healthy season inthe Cape District LFA Super League and isregarded as firm favourites to regain thechampionship title from Ocean View whowon it last season.

With that in mind the Greenwood side facea stiff challenge against Young Idols and willhave to be more clinical in order to beat theirManenberg opponents in a match that couldproduce some exciting football in this epicencounter.

However, Greenwood Athletic will be thesecond club side from Cape District LFA thatYoung Idols will be competing against fol-lowing their 2-0 win over coach Richard Rah-way’s Devonshire Rovers side recently.

Idols coach Paul “Gazza” Johnson hasurged his players to be ruthless againstGreenwood Athletic in order to keep theirCoke Cup campaign alive.

Johnson states that the Retreat-based sidecould be a handful. “The key is to find waysto play through a very compact, very well or-ganised Greenwood side. We have to findways to find the forwards, find spots to gothrough. It doesn’t really matter what sys-tem you play. They are defensively verygood and our strikers will have to more clini-cal and make sure that we find those oppor-

tunities against our opponents and finishthem off,” adds Johnson.

Adding to the thrills, Silver Spurs – the2014 former champions – will lock horns willTrinitarians after both teams rose to the oc-casion triumphantly in beating KewtownUnited (4-2) and Hanover Rangers (5-1) re-spectively.

Silver Spurs coach Victor Tajoodien hasalways believed in his tried and tested faith-ful players like Elrico Corneillissen, NizaamMuller, Dino Hendricks, Terence Boqwanaand Cheslyn Tajoodien.

Equally confident is the Uitsig outfit andthey will not lie down easily without a fight.

Liverpool-Portland from Mitchell’s Plain– who won the trophy twice, first in 1996 asthe first recreants of knockout prime eventand in 2000 – will enter the lion’s den withGrassy Park United in another intriguinggame that should stretch both defences.

Crystal Palace having eliminated MilanoUnited (2-1) in the previous round will meetLeeds Lentegeur in a contest that Palacecoach, Achmat Williams, is pretty confidentat his key players in Gavin Hammers andLindani Ntamo with the support and back-ing of the other players in the team will pavethe way for a place in the Last 32.

The derby clash between the ManenbergLFA teams, namely Tottenham Hotspursand D&G Orient, has many fanatics talkingand enthusias believe it will be a hard foughtbattle in which no quarter will be given.

Then spare a thought for the Juventus ver-sus Cape Town Military clash.

Likewise the challenge between High-lands Park and Rygersdal and Mfuleni Unit-ed up against three time Jamestown Unitedchampions (1997, 1998 and 2008) is among thefinger licking matches that dare not bemissed.Other fixtures:Benfica vs Young Pirates,

Dunoon YSA vs Glendene United, Langa Cit-izens vs Bluegum United, Heinz Park vs SSSAcademy, Wesley United vs Riverside Ran-gers, Melchester Rovers vs Ravensmead,Kuils River vs Two For Joy, Eleven Attack-ers vs Leiden Fusion Spurs, Florentina vsCape Town Rangers and FCG Hotspurs vsEastern Rovers.
