Transportplan onthe roadJUANITA WILLIAMS

THOUSANDS of people passthrough the Wynberg PublicTransport Interchange on foot,by rail, taxis, vehicles and busesfromall directions, at all timesofthe day.

“In 2018, Wynberg will becomepart of the IRT (Integrated RapidTransport) and all road systems inthe area will have to be integrated,”says Ward 62 councillor Liz Bru-nette.

Following on numerous com-plaints about the traffic problems,she has requested that the Trans-port Director present a report tosubcouncil 20 about development ofa Transport Management Plan(TMP) for Wynberg.

InMay2003, aTMPwaspresentedto subcouncil outlining traffic con-cerns and recommending solu-tions, including a prioritised imple-mentation plan.

Brunette says some of the workhas been done, but since 2003 thesituation has deteriorated.

“Wynberg has problems withparking, rat running, access con-trol and taxis. Fifty percent of thetaxis that arrive at the WynbergTransport Interchange are illegaland many taxis operate off routedue to congestion on the legalroutes.

“Public transport is the way ofthe future and the traffic needs tobe managed appropriately. Therewill be a major impact on urban re-newal if all aspects are not ad-

dressed.When I stood for councillorin the election, one of my goals wasto solve public transport prob-lems.”

As deputy chairperson of theTransport, Roads and Stormwatercommittee, Brunette, Mayco mem-ber Brett Heron and portfolio mem-bers visited the Wynberg inter-change last year to identify theproblems.

In her motivation for the TMP,Brunette pointed out the PublicTransport Implementation Frame-work indicates one of the IRTroutes fromKhayelitsha andMitch-ell’s Plain will connect to the Wyn-berg Interchange by July 2018.

“The Wynberg Public TransportInterchange will be included in theIRT project, but the traffic manage-ment problems in the surroundingareas still need to be addressed.”

Brunette says the TMP must in-corporate bus and taxi routes, non-motorised transport routes, facili-ties for taxis and drivers, provideclarity on the Wynberg Bypass roadschemes and the Main Road widen-ing scheme and protect the OldWynberg Village conservation areafrom rat running. She also request-ed a safe crossing fornon-motorisedtransport at the station and that thesafety and cleanliness at MitchamRoad subway be dealt with regular-ly by Roads and Stormwater.

The Old Wynberg Village Society(OWVS) has repeatedly complainedabout taxis using the historicallyproclaimed area as a rat run, de-spite prominent signage banningtaxis and heavy vehicles from the

narrow streets.“Large vehicles are getting stuck

trying to negotiate the narrowbends in the Village and this is alsocausing problems,” says Brunette.“However, the roads in Old Wyn-berg Village must be part of the big-ger plan.”

She met with taxi officials to dis-cuss the problems of taxis rat run-ning through the Village from Bow-er and Alphen Hill roads. “Taxisfrom Hout Bay and Constantia cutthrough Wolfe Street and downPiers Road, when they should be us-ing Constantia Main Road,” shesays. “It getsmoreandmore chaoticas there are is enormous number of

illegal taxis. If residents see taxisusing the Village streets as a shortcut, will they take a photo withtheir cellphone and record the reg-istration number, date and loca-tion. Email the details to [email protected] and I willforward it to the officials.”

She warns there are heavy finesfor taxis deviating from the desig-nated routes and the owner riskslosing their operating licence andthe vehicle being impounded.

Brunette has requested that theTMP includes the area bounded byTenant, Riverstone and Wettonroads in the north, from Wynbergrailway line to Plumstead station

and Rosmead Avenue in the east, inthe South from Constantia MainRoad, the proposed South Road andConstantia Main Road Scheme andin the West from Alphen Hill, Wel-lington, and Carrs Hill to Aliwalroads.

Athol Swanson of the WID (Wyn-berg Improvement District) agreeswith the councillor.

“The WID supports the call for arevised Wynberg Transport Man-agement Plan.

A lot has happened in and aroundWynberg since the last study andwith the new IRT and BRT plans, afresh look at the impact needs to betaken,” says Swanson.

On Sunday morning more than 500 motorcyclists from across the Peninsula gathered at the Grand Paradein support of No Day To Die, a road safety campaign to raise awareness for bikers on the road. Provincialminister for Transport and Public Works Robin Carlisle addressed the bikers before they took to the road.Here a biker turns up the heat, spinning his bike’s tyres during a performance.

Bursaries availableA TOTAL of 30 bursaries are being offered todeaf or hearing impaired students.The bursaries are for candidates wanting to

be trained as laminators to work in the plasticsindustry – from boat building to swimmingpool construction and canopy construction.Plastics SA and training partners Whisper

Boat Building Academy (WBBA) and the Ma-rine Industry Association of SA are invitingdeaf students to apply for bursaries funded bythe Manufacturing, Engineering and RelatedServices Education and Training Authority(merSETA). The bursaries will allow them totrain in the art of working with compositesfrom this month to December.Plastics SA regional trainingmanager JoFit-

zell says thiswill be the third intake of studentswho are deaf or hard of hearing. “There is a tre-mendous shortage of skilled labour in theWest-ern Cape boat building industry and the deafstudents who graduate from this course offera welcome relief and a sought-after skill thatallows them to work in a variety of fields in theplastics industry,” Fitzell says.Peter Jacops founded the WBBA as a non-

profit organisation to teach deaf students fromthe townships the art of boat building in 2004.“Research has shown that 40% of young

South Africans between the ages of 16 and 25are unemployed and do not go to school,” saysJacops. “Disabled youngsters have an even big-ger problem and face even greater obstacles asthere are not many opportunities or job facili-ties that cater for their specific needs.”Training takes place with the help of a full-

time sign language interpreter and consists ofclassroom-based theoretical training at thePlastics SA offices in Maitland.The opportunity is open to men and women

students who are 18 or older, deaf or hearingimpaired, but able to speak sign language. Suc-cessful candidates must have a valid SA identi-ty document, bewilling to learn, enjoyworkingwith their hands and be willing to commit tofull-time studying.For more information, SMS 072 836 3998 or

Lady and the hunky trampLadyLady andand thethe hunkyhunky tramptrampDear reader,

At my rather mature age,I had my first real experi-ence of “ladies’ night”.I was actually after the

goodie bag an upmarket es-tablishment tantalised within their invitation promis-ing a “wonderful party toend Women’s Month”.My friend was up for the

challenge, but disappoint-ingly, we did not get goodiebags because we had not re-served.Whatwegot – andhadn’t reservedeither

– was enough half naked, muscular menserving us delicate snacks. Our wish wastheir command.The mix of women were mainly young,

some older.When my friend asked me whether this

was “for desperate women”, I bounced thequestion off one of the topless lads who re-taliated: “No, it’s for women who wantsomething”.Well, countme out. I wasn’t there for an-

ything other than a new experience and a

few fun hours in a classyplace with a good friend. Inany event, I have somethingat home (my husband, whoknew my whereabouts).Venturing on, we were

treated to no drinks, as thefreebie drinks were alcohol-ic, no snacks as we’d filledup earlier on a tasteless beefwrap at a Turkish cafe, andno entertainment as themu-sic and fashion show werenot to our taste.The fashion show seemed

to drag on and was followed by a make-uplesson. In fairness, my friend and I werelistening to all this fromcomfy couches farfrom the action. We opted to not see thefashion andmake up demo by a guywhomwe explicitly heard saying that we shouldapply foundation to our lips as well, “tobring it all together”.Useful tip – in fact so useful it stopped

us taking photos of ourselves, er, our-selves with the hunky eye candy. Withinseconds of posting these pictures on Face-book, I had 12 likes, of which 11 were fe-male.

Two hours later, we were bored and allthe gorgeous guys in the world couldn’tpersuade us otherwise – until I found anovel use for one.Declining his offer of “something from

the bar”, I tasked himwith going in searchof a hot chocolate, telling him it was closetomy bedtime and I needed a hot beveragebefore I left. The cutie delivered.After agreeing to some passive smoking

on the roof deck with my smoker friend,we left for home, only to find that my carhad been locked in at the parking area I’dchosen for safety reasons.

The security guard had gone on hisrounds and we had no choice but to waitfor him; enough time for an opportunisticlittle man to approach us with intent ofsnatching our bags. He did not succeed.What I learnt from my “ladies’ night”

out is that it’s better to always take a manalong.’Til next time, go well!ConnectED is a weekly column by

Alert driver stumps burglarsAlertAlert driverdriver stumpsstumps burglarsburglarsQUICK thinking on the part of a visitormanaged to scare off three armed menduring a burglary in progress in thesouthern suburbs.

The visitor, a woman, unknowingly inter-rupted a burglary when she arrived at thehouse and rang the bell.The remote gate opened, allowing her to

drive in.Once the gate closed behind the car, the

burglars opened the garage door and ap-proached the car with guns.Refusing to move her car into the garage,

she immediately hit her hooter and called theClaremont police and ADT from her cell-phone.The robbers fired shots at her Mercedes

SLK and tried, in vain, to smash the windowwith the butt of their guns and a heavy toolfrom the garage.She continued to blast her hooter, alerting

neighbours in the process who called the po-lice.Meanwhile, in the house, the homeowner

and the housekeeper, who had earlier beenordered to lie down on the bedroom floor,locked themselves in the bathroom in theroom.The homeowner had been confronted by

the men when he drove into the garage.They pulled him out of the car, closed the

garage doors and forced him at gunpoint upthe stairs into the kitchen where the house-keeper had been making supper.After asking them to point out the alarm

motherboard and surveillance cameras, the

men rummaged throughbedroomcupboards,stole watches and valuables and demandedwallets, weapons and cash from the safe.They escaped on foot before the police and

a security officers arrived.The homeowner warns other residents to

be careful as there is an increase in break-inswhen people are at home.“With our alarms, electric fencing, dogs,

panic buttons, security companies, we be-lieve we are secure, but the reality is we areliving in a false sense of security. This typeof security only works for break-ins that oc-cur when we are not at home. These guys areexperienced and want you in the house whenthe alarm doesn’t go off. This way, their haulis bigger and they have hours to plunder yourhouse.”Angie Latchman, of Claremont police, con-

firmed that the incident took place and thatno arrests have been made.She says there have been similar incidents,

but investigations have not linked them to a

particular group or syndicate.“For the month of August, we have seen a

stabilisation of break-ins when people are athome.“However, the police always view one inci-

dent as too many, and we continue to beef uppatrols, special operations and all forms ofcrime prevention and police visibility in or-

der to create a safe and secure environmentfor the community.”She adds the police has formulated a crime

prevention teamwhich focuses on house rob-beries, burglaries (business and residential)in the Claremont Cluster which comprisesthe policing precincts of Claremont, Mow-bray and Rondebosch.

STODELS NURSERIES, one ofthe leading nursery groups inthe Cape Peninsula, will giveaway more than 5 000 trees togardeners in exchange for bagsof old newspapers on Friday tocelebrate National Arbor Week.

The project was launched byStodels Nurseries in 1983 and hasproved a huge success – a total of150 000 trees have been given awayover the past 25 years.The annual campaign aims to cre-

ate greater awareness among indi-viduals about their contribution toglobal warming (their carbon foot-print) and to encourage them to takesteps to off-set this damage.Stodels Nurseries Managing Direc-

tor Nick Stodel says: “We have al-ways been committed to the environ-ment. This project not only meansthat more than 5 000 new trees willbe planted, but our country’s naturalresources will be preserved throughthe recycling of paper contributions.This is an ideal opportunity for peopleto plant a tree and help off-set effectsof global warming.”Global warming is something we

can’t afford to ignore. Climatechange experts have unanimouslynamed Africa as the continent thatwill suffer worst from the effects ofglobal warming.Evenmore worrying for us in South

Africa is that the southern-most tipof Africa will bemost dramatically im-pacted. The Western Cape’s plantkingdoms, wine farms, fish stocksand low-lying coastal areas are all atrisk from rising sea levels (caused bymelting ice caps and glaciers), espe-cially since we are situated at thepoint where the Atlantic and Indianoceans meet.In addition, the United Nations’

Intergovernmental Panel on ClimateChange warned that in sub-SaharanAfrica, between25%and40%of ani-mals in national parks may becomeendangered.Fortunately, there is a solution. On

average, one tree can absorb a tonof carbon dioxide over its lifetime.“So, by planting an indigenous

tree, you’ll be decreasing your car-bon footprint and you’ll be helping toprotect the environment for futuregenerations,” says Stodel.Want to claimyour free, indigenous

tree? It’s simple: just take a bag ofnewspapers to your closest StodelsGarden Centre. Make sure you getthere soon, as the offer is only availa-ble while stocks last.For further information on this

give-away or on other products avail-able during Arbor Week, call StodelsNurseries in Constantia on(021) 794 2221, Kenilworth on(021) 671 9050, Milnerton on(021) 528 4000, Bellville on(021) 919 1106 or Somerset West on(021) 852 7400. Or visit them atwww.stodels.com.

JUANITA WILLIAMS

A RESPECTED business ownerin Wynberg has died.

Mahmood Mohamed Fakier (72),owner of Kismet Supply and Hard-ware Store, died on Women’s Dayas he stepped into the Park RoadMosque.

He is survived by wife Sharifaand four children, Nasier, Asghir,Rafia and Zakaria, and nine grand-children. His death has caused ashock wave in the community.

Sharifa says: “He went to prayand had a massive heart attack ashe walked into the mosque. It wasa great shock, because he was sucha fit, health-conscious man andwent to Constantia gym theevening before.

“My son rushed him to the Con-stantiaberg Medi-Clinic under po-lice escort and they tried to revivehim, but it was too late.”

A much-loved figure in the com-munity, nothing was too muchtrouble for Fakier.

Customers could rely on him tofix any problem and find anythingthey needed, no matter how ob-scure their request.

Sharifa says: “During Ramadana customer wanted a washer forher cooker, but it was out of stock.The woman was upset and said shewouldn’t be able to feed her chil-dren after the fast without thewasher, so my husband climbed upto a shelf and removed the washer

from a new cooker. That was howcustomers will remember him, assomeone who always went the ex-tra mile. He had an effervescentpersonality, was always smiling,singing and rhyming verse.”

Zubeida Abrahams, a familyfriend, says: “He had a passion forcreating tools, and lived in a worldvery few people lived in. He builtan empire not for himself, but foreveryone else to share. He was asimple man with a big heart andgot so much joy and pleasure fromhelping others.”

Abrahams worked in the shop inthe early days and Fakier helpedher start A-One Hardware in theStrand.

He also created a branch in Ath-lone and Just Timbers and AutoComponents.

Born in India in 1940, Fakier

came to Cape Town when he wasseven. He attended Douglas RoadPrimary, in Wynberg, but leftschool to work in the shop afterStandard four (Grade 6).

At 16, he took over the shop fromhis grandfather and helped hisgrandmother, who was affection-ately known as Hapu-ma. In 1957,Kismet was just a small cornershop selling nails, paint and gas.Thanks to his business savvy and“healthy dollops of innovation”,the corner shop became a contem-porary one-stop shop.

Today, the red and white shop isa landmark in the Cape and at-tracts customers from far andwide. This thriving business hasprovided employment for 20 peo-ple.

The name Kismet hails fromTurkish, Urdu or Persian rootsand means fate or destiny.

The Fakier family paid tribute totheir amazing father by saying:“His vision, dedication and tenaci-ty to succeed is an inspiration forall. This self-taught businessmanforged a destiny for himself andhis business.

“In the process, he blazed a quiettrail that became a source of jobcreation and has left an indeliblemark on his time and landscape.His legacy will stand the test oftime in terms of the contributionhe has made.”

Although it will be business asusual at Kismet, Sharifa has decid-ed to cut back on the openinghours.

THREEmonths after a contro-versial painting of presidentJacob Zuma by artist BrettMurray, a new painting hassurfaced. CapeTownartistAy-anda Mabulu’s painting de-picts a well-endowed Zuma,dancing in traditional Zulucostume. People’s Post readersshared their views of the newartwork with interns Tarren-Lee Habelgaarn and LuzukoZini, who also took the photos.

DISRESPECTFUL: Luqmaan Timmbelieves artists should be sensitive.“Respect needs to be shown. Evenif one does not like him, he is still ourpresident and he needs to be respected for that.”

WRONG: Lunelle Davids says thepainting is a clear insult to the president. “The artist is making fun of ourpresident and that is wrong, especially when the artist draws privateparts.”

VIOLATION: Khuthala Ndolondolosays Zuma’s rights are being violated. “He is the father of the nation andshould be respected nomatter what.We are not supposed to see his private parts; only he must see it.”

NOT FUNNY: Clint Williams believesthe artist is wrong. “That is our president and these paintings are morally wrong. Some may think it is funny,but I don’t because it is a sign of disrespect.”

DEPENDS: Tyrel Stober says youropinion depends on how you view thematter. “Some people may think it isfunny and some will think it is disrespectful.”

NOT A GOOD IDEA: Kingston Nhlapho says it is not acceptable thatsuch paintings are made public. “Heis our president and also a father tohis children. Paintings like these willnot only hurt him, but his family,too.”

NOT ACCEPTABLE: Allan Africa says peopleneed to respect our leaders. “Each person isentitled to a certain amount of privacy and respect and those have been violated with thesepaintings.”

HUMILIATING: Vanessa Brink sayspeople should keep their opinions tothemselves. “This is very disturbing, even if the artist doesn’tlike him they should respect Zuma instead ofmaking him and hisfamily feel humiliated.”

Explore the option of sterilisationCOUPLES or individuals who are certainthey do not wantmore children can considersterilisation as an option.

Sterilisation – for either the man or thewoman – is a quick and a safe procedurewithout long-term health effects which isavailable free at many State health services.

Sterilisation is a surgical procedurewhichshould be regarded as permanent and irre-versible as there is no guarantee it can be re-versed.Neithermalenor female sterilisationaffects desire or sexual function as hormoneproduction is unaffected. Without the worryof pregnancy some couples find the desire forsexual expression becomes more spontane-ous and more frequent.

Female sterilisation is usually done undergeneral anaesthetic and the fallopian tubesare closed by the application of rings or clips.It offers immediate, highly effective protec-tion against pregnancy.

It is cost-effective in the long term withnone of the potential health problems associ-ated with some temporary methods. A wom-anwhohas undergone sterilisation is spared

the common worries such as side-effects,supplyproblems, forgetfulness, partner com-pliance and the inconvenience of frequentclinic visits.

Female sterilisation may be done straightafter giving birth which eliminates the needfor a separate visit to the health facility. Theprocedure does not extend the normal recov-eryperiod after childbirth, doesnot interferewithmilkproductionor adversely affects thehealth of the child.

Vasectomy is the single most effectivemethod of contraception available and al-lows the man to take responsibility for pre-ventingpregnancy. It can improve thehealthof the female partner by eliminating theneedfor alternate contraception which may havenegative side effects. Vasectomy is a smaller,safer and amore effective procedure than fe-male sterilisation. It is usually done underlocal anaesthetic and the tubes transportingthe sperm – the vas deferens – are cut andtied.

Heroes save Tsar from poolTWOsecurity officers scaled a two-metrewall in Rondebosch to save a five-monthpuppy fromdrowning bywading into theowner’s swimming pool.

Tsar, a Siberian Timber Wolf/AlaskanMalamute cross, was saved from near-drowning in the family pool by the officersaround midday on Saturday 18 August.

Within minutes of receiving a call from aneighbour, ADT Security Armed ResponseOfficers David Sithole and Norman Mbindaarrived at the Milner Road property.

The dog’s owner, Yoel Bloomberg, was nothome at the time.

Using a step-ladder provided by the neigh-bour, the officers climbed over the 2m walland waded into the pool to rescue Tsar.

Bloomberg says although he has trainedTsar touse the pool stepshebelieves the pup-py may have hurt his front right leg and thecold water contributed to his struggle.

“Words cannot express how thankful I amto both my neighbour and the officers whosaved Tsar,” says Bloomberg.

“I advise anyhomeownerwhohas a swim-ming pool and dogs to teach themhow to findthe steps with and without your assistance.As an additional safety precaution I suggestdog owners fit a pool cover.”

ADTWesternCapemanagingdirectorRobDale echoed Bloomberg’s sentiments.

“It is advisable for homeowners generallyto ensure that measures are taken aroundthe home to ensure the safety not only ofyour family, but of your pets, too.

“Our officers are trained to deal with anyemergency, including incidents at the pool,”Dale adds.

“This particular case illustrates how theofficers’ training equipped them to think ontheir feet in a high-pressure situation.”

Tsar, meanwhile, is recovering from hisnarrow escape.

People’s Post Constantia-Wynberg LEADER Tuesday 4 September 2012

New heritageWITHHeritageDayonMonday24September,the decision to rename some Cape Townstreets has been made in good time.The street renaming debate will continue

unabated.This is an emotional issue. There will al-

ways be detractors.Some may breathe a sigh of relief at the re-

naming of Hendrik Verwoerd Drive to UysKrige Drive and the offensively-named Na-tive Yard (NY1), whichwill be renamed SteveBiko Drive.The street renaming should be perceived as

anattempt at redressing part of this country’spainful past – and, hopefully, to leave it bur-ied.But Heritage Day has itself been unofficial-

ly rebranded National Braai Day.This in itself speaks of a lack of sentiment

towards our national heritage.And it may not be such a bad thing.Ask most locals if they know the people

who, until now, have had streets named forthem.Most won’t know who Hendrik Verwoerd

was. Or Coen Steytler.Fast forward to two decades from now and

who will remember Walter Sisulu or RobertSobukwe?Admittedly, many will remember Nelson

Mandela, but as for the rest?Contemporary history will give most of

these political icons a line in the annals of ourhistory books.By comparison, ask any tourist what they

love about Cape Town and they will say it isthe friendly people, the natural beauty of thecity, the different cultures, fine food andwine.These are reasons enough to draw foreign-

ers to our country.A braai on a Monday? Why not? Celebrat-

ing Heritage Day with friends and family isperhaps a suitable heritage.One that is worth building on.

Your SMSes. Could the residents ofTokai please not put theirrubbish bins out until theday of collection. We havebeen plagued by a largemalebaboon ever since he got a“free feed” the other day –the day before the collectionwas due! While he roams thestreets looking for his nextmeal, we cannot let childrenout to play or walk our dogswith peace of mind. Cathy

. Employers must startpaying workers for whattheyare capable of doingandnot because they don’t havethe necessary papers. It isnot the paper doing thework. Stop looking for excu-ses. Ex-slave

. I am unemployed andcannot afford a fridge. Cansomeone please assist mewith one? My number is072 325 2105. Jennifer Stone

. It was an absolute pleas-ure visiting the City of CapeTown Khayelitsha Planningand Building Developmentoffice. The front office lookssmart and professional. Theservice is friendly and effi-cient. Well done! A satisfiedclient

. I’m getting used to thispoor service that publicservice departments are de-livering.But they need jobs or else

our unemployment rate willbe high. Keep up the badservice, we as the communi-ty aren’t surprise. We areused to it.

Put through school application ringerAFTER the recent bad press about schoolbooks, I am prompted to ask: why does onehave to go through a veritablewringer to geta child admitted to high school?I went through the trauma of having to ap-

ply for my son to attend high school nextyear. Thiswas anabsolutenightmare! I havetwo grown daughters and I sent them off fortheir first day at high school, with their ap-plication forms and that was that.What a palaver to get my son into a high

school! He’s my “laatlammetjie” and I havebeen out of the school business for a longtime. I live in the southern suburbs and myblood boiled on numerous occasions.Firstly, there are the application forms

which need to be completed. I swear they aremore like a short epistle. You have to attachyour life history.Then you’re expected to have all the docu-

ments certified and make an appointmentfor an interview. This is just an applicationto attend a particular high school.Then you need to pay a non-refundable

“processing fee” Now, if a school receivedabout 200 applications and they all charge atleast R200 for each application, they wouldcollect R40 000. If they took only 100 pupils,they would net R20 000 profit.I was extremely disillusioned and had giv-

en up hope of finding a school with the rightattitudeandapproach to education.One thatmatched my own expectations and my son’sintelligence.My son is in the top third of his grade and

I felt he would need a school that looked athis high achievements and nurtured them,while encouraging him to work hard on theaspects he may be lacking in. This was mylast attempt at finding the right fit but whata pleasure it was to walk into this school ontheir open day! As the principal made hiswelcome speech, my son whispered to me“Mom, this is the school I want to come to”.That sealed it for me. Needless to say, thiswas my first choice as well. What an al-mighty difference between this one and allthe others I had been to!What are the criteria for admitting pupils?

Do the principals really have carte blancheto do as they please and accept whom theyplease? I am aware they have to take chil-dren from the immediate area, but how is itthat some pupils are in schools that are veryfar away from home? Do academic resultsplay a part?Can the education department do any-

thing about the flagrant disregard someteachers have towards prospective stu-dents? What is it with (some) principals?They seem to be vying with each other forthe best of everything. They seem to wantto take only the academically sound stu-dents because they want their school to be“thebest”.Doesn’t the averagepupil deservethe best education their parents can providefor them? Most geniuses were average stu-dents but excelled anyway.ANONYMOUSLetter shortened. – Ed

Stepping up forthe underdogJUANITA WILLIAMS

BEHIND amodest red door inWynberg’sChurch Street a small band of peoplework to provide a lifeline for foreigners.

Some foreigners – who need help with per-mit and documentation issues – have beenturned away from refugee centres andHomeAffairs and don’t know what to do next.That’s when they can rely on Passop (PeopleAgainst Oppression) for help.Passop is a refugee rights advocacy group

dedicated to promoting and protecting therights of refugees, asylum seekers and un-documented individuals in South Africa.Their leaflet reminds us that Albert Ein-stein,KarlMarxandBobMarleywereall ref-ugees.Founded by BraamHanekom in 2007 to as-

sist refugees and asylum seekers, Passopwas instrumental in exposing the crisis atrefugee centres countrywide.Before moving to Cape Town, Hanekom

was an activist in the 2002 presidential cam-paign in Zimbabwe.In 2008, he was subjected to police harass-

ment and arbitrary detentions when he tookpart in legal protest actions.AnactiveANCmember, he is nevertheless

very critical of government shortcomings.He was awarded the 2008 Inyathelo Awardfor Youth and Philanthropy and has spokenat universities around the world where heis recognised as an expert in his field.LangtonMiriyoga is Head Paralegal Offic-

er and Eunice Runeni is working on an initi-ative to provide support to disabled childrenof immigrants and disadvantaged South Af-ricans.Miriyoga runs an advice deskwhich offers

paralegal advice and assistance to victims ofhuman rights violations. He has a BSc Hon-ours in Administration and worked in theMinistry of Small and Medium EnterprisesDevelopment in Zimbabwe before fleeing toSA in 2008. He was awarded the Refugee Stu-dent scholarship at UCT and studied for aMasters in Social Justice.He joined Passop in early 2010 and was in-

volved in monitoring the De Doorns Inter-nallyDisplacedPeople’s campandorganisedprotest action and social cohesion events.In July 2011, he attended training on refu-

gee law and refugee rights advocacy at theUCT Law Clinic.Human rights issues and documentation

are the most common problems at Passop,which also offers free paralegal advice withlabour disputes, including unfair dismiss-als, mistreatment and poor working condi-tions, discrimination and wage disputes. Tothis end, they work closely with the LegalResource Centre, UCT Law Clinic and Cen-tre for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitra-tion (CCMA).Miriyoga also handles cases of unlawful

arrest and detentions, deportations, accessto healthcare and education for asylumseek-ers.“We are always fighting with the Depart-

ment of Home Affairs as according to thenew policy, asylum seekers are required toapply for asylum at the border post throughwhich they enter the country or they are notallowed to enter. But what about the peoplewho arrive by air or sea? There should berefugee offices throughout the country to ca-ter for these categories of asylum seekers.There’s no reason to go back to the border.”Miriyoga says - “The matter was taken to

court and the Western Cape High Court or-dered the Department of Home Affairs tostart serving newcomer asylum seekers atthe Refugee Reception Offices in CapeTown”.He saysPassop ismonitoring closely to see

that Home Affairs complies with the courtorder.Runeni joined Passop in 2010 to create a

support system for refugees with disabledchildren. Originally from Harare, Zimba-bwe, she now lives in Athlone with her disa-bled son Arnold, who is 13.Runeni is former chairperson of the Zim-

babweanParents of Disabled Children (ZPD-CA) inHarareandcame toCapeTown in2009seeking treatment for her son.“As a parent of a disabled child, I wanted

to help other mothers. Foreigners have ahard time raising a disabled child. Theydon’t know where to go for help and if theydon’t have a permit they can’t apply for a dis-ability grant. South Africa has been verygood to me. My son recently had an opera-tion for drooling; and he can now read andwrite, thanks to his schooling at Bel Porto.There are somany single mothers who don’tknowwhere to turnwhen it comes to health,education and therapy. The Gift of the Giv-ers recently held a function for us and wehave received assistance from the GoodHope Foundation. We also work with theChaeli Foundation and have receivedwheel-chairs for some of the children.”Runeni has 51 children on her books –

ranging from three to 17 years and 43 moth-ers. She is looking for self-help projects andvolunteers to teach the children skills andhopes to establish a centre where they canall meet.She says “Single mothers with disabled

children have a hard time trying to cope.”She also needs funds, clothes, food and

toys.. Readers who would like to help cancontact her on [email protected] and interns are vital to Passop

and there are usually five to 20 at the offices.These include immigrants from Africa andforeign students.Anyone interested in volunteering at Pas-

sop can contact Hanekom at [email protected] or through the office at(021) 762 0322.

Little boys have soft heartsFROGS, snails and puppy dogs’ tails. That,says the nursery rhyme, is what little boysmade of.

But not so for the Grade 1 boys at WynbergBoys Junior School, who turned up at schoolfor two weeks bearing tinned and dried foods.Their gifts went to the Abundant Life Feed-

ing Scheme, founded by Marlene Satarien inLavender Hill. The feeding scheme is fallingon hard times and has had to reduce thenumber of mouths it feeds (“Feeding schemeforced to cut back”, People’s Post, 21 August).Satarien says: “These supplies will really

help us feed some of the children we have hadto turn away, due to lack of funds.”

This is the second year the school has donat-ed food to Abundant Life.Each grade atWynberg Boys Junior collects

money and goods for charity as part of an out-reach project. Last year, Grade 2 collectedfunds for an animal shelter, Grade 3 collectedclothes for the Salvation Army and Grade 4held a market day to raise funds for AnimalTails.Abundant Life feeds children from one

month to 18 years old and is sponsored by fam-ily and friends. Satarien says: “We are con-stantly in need of donations of food andmoneyto help feed the 150 children a daily meal. Forsome children it is their onlymeal of the day.”Satarien can be contacted at 082 799 3579.

Teacher to raiseR1m for charityLIAM MOSES

A MITCHELL’S PLAIN teacher has sethimself the target of raising R1million forschools and charities by running the Chi-cago Marathon in October this year.

Irafaan Abrahams, a teacher at RocklandsHigh School, is already well known acrossCape Town for his community work, havingraised over R250 000 in a similar project lastyear where he ran the New York Marathon.

This year 10 different schools and two can-cer charities will be the recipients of anymon-ey raised.

Abrahamssays thathe chose tomakecancercharities and cancer education a major partof this year’s programme because of his per-sonal experience with the disease.

“The main point of this year’s project is toraise awareness about cancer and spread ofcancer. That’s why the two beneficiaries thisyear are amaBeleBelles andCancervive,” saysAbrahams.

“It’s a big personal push also because lastyear while I was running the New York Mara-thonmy dad fell ill and he was diagnosed withcancer. It’s a big personal issue.”

Abrahams adds that two members of theOmmiedraai Athletic Club, which helps himwith one his community projects, were also re-cently diagnosed with the disease.

The money for the project will be raised bythe 10 schools Abrahams has enlisted, Mitch-ell’s Plain-based NGO Making an ImpactThrough Sport (MITS), the Ommiedraai Ath-letics Club, the Itheko Sport Athletic Club andthe ARD Athletic Club.

While the schools will keep all of the moneythat they raise to use on their own projects,

and possibly donate a percentage to the twobeneficiary NGOs if they wish to, the otherfour organisations will donate around 50 per-cent of themoney they raise to amaBele Bellesand Cancervive.

The schools and organisations will raise thefunds using collection cards; donate R5 foreach of the Chicago Marathons 43 kilometres.Abrahams says he is certain that the R1 mil-lion can be raised through the project.

“Every school on average gets a thousandcards which could bring in R250 000 even ifthey only bring in half of that money and weadd it up we will have our R1 million,” saysAbrahams.

“I am very confident that we can raise thismoney this year.”

LIAM MOSES

WOODLANDS United strengthened theirclaim for a place in the Engen KnockoutChallenge finals on Saturday after rout-ing Ashford Athletic in a play-off fixtureat the Stephen Reagan sports complex.

TheMitchell’s Plain side beat their Heath-field opponents 4-0 to claim the top spot inGroup 3 of the play-off round. Woodlandsdominated thematch virtually from the firstwhistle, camping in the opposition half, mo-nopolising possession and limiting Ashfordto counter attacks.The Ashford defence worked to keep Unit-

ed at bay for most of the first half, but theirresistance was finally broken around half-way through the first half.The ball was crossed into the penalty area

from a corner and Jason Miller capitalisedon Ashford’s inability to clear the danger bysmashing the ball into the roof of the net.Woodlands were not made to wait long for

their second goal and again took advantageof sloppy set-piece defending minutes later.Ashford failed to clear the ball from a cornerand Nazeer Stallboom slammed the ballhome during the ensuing goal-mouth scram-ble. Ashford grew desperate in the secondhalf and sent more players forward, but thetactic proved fatal as Woodlands simply re-verted to the direct, counter-attacking playthat has become their hallmark.In the 37th minute, Woodlands attacker

Adrian vanNiekerkwas put through on goalafter a pin-point through-ball from one of histeammates.He smuggled theball into thenetafter the Ashford keeper fumbled a save.Van Niekerk struck the death blow nine

minutes later, when he turned on the edgeof the box and beat one man and to a clinicalfinish.Woodlandsunder-17 coachElricClaasen is

confident his team will be able to beat Na-tional First Division side Vasco da Gama intheir next game to their place in the last 16.“I think we will go through now that we

have won. I wanted this result; I predictedthis result. We need one more win to gothrough,” says Claasen.“WeareplayingVasconext and I feel confi-

dent. They are a big team, but winningagainst big teams is what us smaller teamsdo.”Claasen believes his team’s superior tac-

tics and hard work on the training groundpaid off during the match.“I thinkwewon because of our direct play.

We exploited their defensive system. Theirdefence was weak and ours was strong.That’s where we got our goals. I think ourtraining paid off. We focused on set piecesduring training.”Claasen, who also plays for theWoodlands

senior side, adds that his teamwere themoremotivated side because the club is turning20 this year.The final 16 teams for the Engen Knockout

Challenge will be decided this week after thelast round of play-off fixtures takes place atthe Thornton Sports Complex today and onThursday.Today Stars of Africa face Kuils River at

18:30, Bluegum United play Greenwood at19:30, and Vasco play Woodlands at 20:30.On Thursday Bayhill United play Blueg-

um at 18:30, Stars of Africa face Jamestownat 19:30 and Ashford Athletic take on Vascoda Gama at 20:30.
