Thumbs up for upgradeJUANITA WILLIAMS

AN UPGRADE for public transport topsthe City’s list of improvements for Imiza-mo Yethu in Hout Bay.

Plans have been submitted for the develop-ment of a mixed-use public transport facilitywhich will serve as an operational base fortaxis and MyCiTi buses.After exhaustive research, a site was cho-

sen at the northern intersection of Hout BayMain Road and NRMandela Road, with stopsprovided along theNRMandelaRoad for easyaccess. This forms part of the City’s proposal

for the amendment of the development planfor Imizamo Yethu.“This step is the first ofmany theCity plans

to take to improve the conditions of the resi-dents of Imizamo Yethu,” says Belinda Walk-er, Mayoral Committee Member for Econom-ic, Environmental and Spatial Planning.“The establishment of an affordable and ac-cessible public transport system is vital to theimprovement of the area, and affords resi-dents a greater range of economic opportuni-ties that will serve to improve the characterof the area.”The research included an environmental

impact assessment (EIA) and exhaustive con-

sultation with the community organisations.TheHoutBayandLlandudnoEnvironment

Conservation Group (ECG) expressed delightthat the “original intended alignment of thenew service road planned as part of the up-grade development of Imizamo Yethu hasbeen amended to the routing proposed bythese organisations since the original planswere issued for public comment in 2008”.The ECG says this is after “sustained pres-

sure over a number of years” by ImizamoYethu communities and the ECG.“It is unfortunate that the ‘consultation’

process required the Environmental Conser-vation Group to take the City to court to get

it to consider, and finally accept, the correct-ness of our views. The planned developmentof a public transport facility will certainlybenefit the residents of Imizamo Yethu.”The ECG points out the “massive problems

of overcrowding and excessive numbers ofpeople and illegal shacks” in Imizamo Yethuand spilling over above the denominatedtownship, remain.Until these problems are also tackled, says

ECG, the dream shared by the long-standingresidents of Imizamo Yethu and the majorityof all Hout Bay residents that Imizamo Yethuwill “transform into a properly integratedsuburb will remain unrealised”.

Put a Spring in your stepPut aPut a SpringSpring inin youryour stepstepDear reader,

Spring offers a chance fornew beginnings, like a sec-ond New Year – ninemonths later.Along with some wel-

come sunshine to comple-ment spring cleaning ofhouse, body and soul,comes a time to dust awaythe winter cobwebs, reflectand commit afresh.I began my commitment

to a more physically activelifestyle by getting up and dancing, albeita bit stiffly, at the Lansdowne Sectors 1,2 and 3 Community Police Forum’sSpring Ball last Friday; following this upwith more applied, energetic moves at ateenage party the next day.My teenage great niece refused to join

me, a few four-year-olds andseveral teenyboppers as we made the circle bigger atthis family event. Aside from eye contactwith the taller teens, whose moves I at-tempted to copy, nobody seemed to carethat an aunt was “in the house”.What truly impressed me though was

the vigour displayed at the spring ball byMark Kleinschmidt, chairperson of theKenwyn Safety and Security and Rate-payers’ and Civic Association. Part of theevening’s proceedings included the hand-ing over of a sponsoredPeople’s Post bicy-cle to the association. I was in awe whenMark hopped on the new bike, taking itfor a spin around the hall.That’s the beauty of living life in the

present.As adults, we’re too preoccupied with

doing the “right thing”, our image andothers’ perception of us. So much so thatwe forget to relish the joyful moments.My insightful weekend culminated

with observing the care and patience mydad shows my mom.

This has not wavered inthe two years she has beenliving with cancer. A rela-tionship of this quality isthe result of decades of to-getherness, unconditionalacceptance and under-standing.This brings me to my re-

solve to enhancemy under-standing of among others,different faiths, beginningwith the Jewish holiday ofRosh Hashanah.I acquired some informa-

tion from the internet as follows: “A dayof judgement and coronation, the festivalof Rosh Hashanah is the anniversary ofthe creation of Adam and Eve and is ob-served for two days beginning on 1 Tish-rei, the first day of the Jewish year”.This year, Rosh Hashanah begins the

evening of Sunday 16 September and endsthe evening of Tuesday 18 September.“Rosh Hashanah emphasises the spe-

cial relationship between God and hu-manity. It is also the anniversary ofman’s first sin and his repentance there-of, and serves as the first of the ‘Ten Daysof Repentance’ which culminates in YomKippur, the Day of Atonement”.Some Rosh Hashanah observances in-

clude eating a piece of apple dipped inhoney, to symbolise “our desire for asweet year” and blessing one anotherwith the words “Leshanah tovah tikateivveteichateim (May you be inscribed andsealed for a good year)”. People’s Postwishes all our Jewish readers and clientsa blessed Rosh Hashanah.’Til next time, go well!ConnectED is a weekly column by

A nip at heels of dog smugglersJUANITA WILLIAMS

A GLOBAL animal welfare organisationstepped in to save 30 dogs at the Namibiaborder.

The recovery of the dogs is thanks to inves-tigations by the Global Animal Welfare or-ganisation and negotiations with Angolanauthorities.Two bakkies containing the dogs stolen

fromSouthAfrica have been recovered at theNamibian border. The dogs were chained to-gether in the back without food or drink.These dogs represent a minority of large

breeds stolen from SA and transported to theNamibian border en route for Angola by asyndicate operating for up to 15 years. Thestolen dogs are sold for high prices in Angolawhere they are used for dog fights, breedingand as guard dogs.Kirstenhof police has also launched an in-

vestigation into a syndicate involved inbreedingdogs groomed fordog fighting inAn-gola, Zimbabwe and Namibia. Detectives be-gan to investigate the theft of dogswhen own-ers reported missing dogs in, among others,Tokai and Kirstenhof. Dogs were also report-ed stolen in Philippi, Kuils River, Mitchell’sPlain, Knysna and Durban.There are 15 dogs quarantined in Cape

Town waiting to be claimed by their owners,and six suspects have been arrested in con-nection with the dog smuggling syndicate inthe Western Cape.

A number of suspects have also been ar-rested in Angola by Interpol and the men are

in custody pending a bail application.TwoSiberianHuskies rescued from theNa-

mibian border belong to a member of a Mui-zenberg sledding club. The owner, who wish-es to remain anonymous, says his five-monthold dogs Sabre and Aurora, were stolen fromthe garden early one morning. He hadsearched the area, but they had simply disap-peared. “Huskies are silent, they don’t makeany noise and are not aggressive; they willlick you to death.”He recognised his dogs in an email sent to

him by an animal rescue organisation.”Wehave been struggling for a week to get thedogs back, as our dogs are now in quaran-tine.”He described the fate of the stolen dogs as

“hideous”. “They are used as live bait, andare thrown into cages with pitbulls who tearthem to pieces, then the carcasses are thrownaway and the next dog is thrown in the cage.Dog fighting is big business with bets likeR40 000 involved,” he says.Cindy Slabbert, of Northern Breeds Sled-

dingClub, says: “Money talks, otherwise howcan you smuggle so many dogs through bor-ders? I have friends in Namibia who regular-ly bring six dogs into this country to takethem to the vets and it takes hours for the pa-perwork to get checked at the border, so howdo these dogs stolen by scum in South Africaget through the border controls?”Exporting dogs across the SA-Namibian

border has now been stopped until investiga-tions are finalised.Slabbert has kept Siberian Huskies for 24

years and makes sure they are kept under

lock and key. “I know the breed well, but thepopulation is getting out of hand as the town-ship breeders are selling puppies for R300,whereas a dog which is registered with theKennel Union of South Africa costs R3 000 toR6 000.”WP Rottweiler Club vice-chairperson

Chris Pretorious was sent photos of some ofthe stolen dogs by email from Namibia Ani-mal Awareness, begging him to find the own-ers. He says the dogs are not in a good condi-tion: “I am glad some of the dogs have beenidentified and that the owners will get themback soon. I hope the police thoroughly checkthe identities of all the owners before theyhand them over.”He says dogs are smuggled out by air and

road. “The thieves put thedogs in skykennelswith all the correctdocumentation andfly them out. Staff-ies and Pit Bull Ter-riers, especiallypuppies, are easy tosteal. They lovepeople and willjump into anyone’scar, but the maledogs hate each oth-er and when theiradrenaline is upthey will fight tothe death. I adviseowners to keeptheir dogs behindfences, preferablywith someone at

home 24 hours a day to protect them. Ownersmust think like a dog thief and work out howto protect their animals.”Pretorius says: “Rottweilers are popular in

Angola where they are used to patrol factorypremises, and the family pet can wind uptrapped inside a security fence corridor forthe rest of its life.”Brenda Santon of the National Council of

SPCAs (NSPCA) confirms a team of animalrights groups set up a rescue mission and anumber of dogs were confiscated at theVioolsdrift border post. The NSPCA urgespeople not to advertise animals as ‘free to agood home’ and to scrutinise potential newowners when animals are sold.Owners who have lost dogs can contact

Readers split on vigilantism revivalDON’T BE STUPID:Tshepo Leboko sayspeople who take thelaw into their ownhands often find themselves behind bars,while the suspectedguilty party is free. “Itis never good to get violent – even if youthink there is a reason. People should letthe police do theirjobs. That is what theyget paid for.”

VIGILANTISM is back on the block,cropping up in communities acrossCape Town, but should citizens take thelaw into their own hands? People’s Postreaders share their views with Tarren-Lee Habelgaarn and Luzuko Zini.

DIFFICULT CHOICE:Lauren Heberdenfeels there is no reason why the community should notbe able to sort outtheir own differences. “For some situations you can takethe law into yourhands, as long as itis done without violence.”Photos: Tarren-Lee Habel-gaarn and Luzuko Zini

ABSENT AUTHORITIES: Olivia Pougnetsays disputes shouldbe left to the authorities to deal with. However, she says, the police often take too longto respond to complaints, forcing thecommunity to deal withcriminals. “Sometimespeople take the law into their own hands toget something done.”

INNOCENT VICTIMS: CindyBanga is convinced that violence is never the answer toany situation and that communities should allow thelaw to protect innocent persons. “There are times wheninnocent people are hurt bycommunity violence. Howcan you know for sure if thatperson is guilty?”

WASTE OF TIME: AbdulWahaab Kennedythinks the police arethe reason communities take the law intotheir own hands. Hethinks there is nothingwrong with vigilantism. “It’s right. Communities should takethe law into their ownhands, because thepolice take their owntime to respond.”

ENOUGH: MelissaLee Williams hasempathy for communities who suffer crime in theirareas. She saysthey can’t alwaysdepend on policeto fix the situation. “Communities are tired ofcrime and the police aren’t doingtheir work.”

LESSONLEARNT:Andile Nqekezafeels mob justice is the rightway to get people to listenand curb repeat offenders.“Criminals always comeback after being arrested, soif they are beaten they willlearn a lesson.”

JUSTICE: Cindy Parsons says whensomeone is caughtin the act, the community needs to actas the police takelong to respond. “Ifthe communitycatches someone, abeating is suitable.You work hard foryour stuff and nobody has the right totake your things.”

Ouma Toitjie is 102JUANITA WILLIAMS

FOR a woman of 102 years, Toitjie(Hesther) Burger is remarkably spry.Ouma Toitjie, as she is known at Plum-stead Rusoord, still enjoys a good meal.

In fact, she attributes her long life to a lifewithout alcohol and the good food she grewup with on her father’s farm in Willaston,Northern Cape.Toitjie was one of six children; she had four

sisters and two brothers. She says her fatherwas very strict andwarned them that dancingwas a sin.

Toitjie is still faithful to her religion andattends services on a Sunday at the retire-

ment home. When Toitjie turned 100, in Au-gust 20 2010, she was visited by then PremierHelen Zille at the home.Married twice – Toitjie’s first husbandDan-

iel du Toit, was a baker in Upington – she hadthree children; Lynette, Frans and EileenHannekom (76) who is her only survivingchild now living in Bellville.Toitjie has five grandchildren.She was married for 30 years to her first

husband and when he died she moved to theCape where she met and married CorneliusBurger.Burger farmed inCalvinia, but hedied after

a few months of marriage and Toitjie decidedto move to Plumstead Rusoord in May 1989,where she has lived for 23 years.

Gifts keep them warm, cosyDISADVANTAGED children will keepwarm and cosy this winter thanks to do-nations from the staff at an estate agency.They donated a variety of items, includ-

ing blankets, canned foods, beanies,scarves, jerseys and other clothing whichwerehandedover at theHome fromHomeoffices in Wynberg.Home fromHome is an NPOwhich pro-

vides homes for orphaned, abused, ne-glected and vulnerable children in its net-work of small family homes within theirhome communities and cultures.Each home caters for six children who

are cared for by a trained foster mother

full-time.Home from Home also runs a Day Care

Centre in Khayelitsha for 55 children,who also receive help from the donationsby the estate agency.Dr Andrew Golding, Chief Executive of

the estate agency group, says: “Being in-volved in the real estate industrywe iden-tified Home from Home as an organisa-tion we can really relate to. We felt thiswinter was the ideal opportunity to assistthem in their highly worthwhile initia-tives and contribute towards helpingthose in need in the communities inwhich we operate.”

Worthy projectDISCOVERING your child has gone missingcould be the beginning of a nightmare for anyparent. An initiative between the police andPink Ladies, an organisation established tohelp find lost children, aims to speed up trac-ing missing children.The joint initiative is to fingerprint chil-

dren at schools and in daycare centres.The project has been piloted in the Nyanga

police cluster, which includes the Athlone,Lansdowne, Manenberg, Nyanga, Philippi,Gugulethu and Philippi East policing pre-cincts.The fingerprinting will go a long way to-

ward assisting police and parents of missingchildren to closing cases and returning suchchildren to their homes or places of safety.The reality is that children often stray from

safety – their homes, the daycare centres andduring family outings. First Aid points at hol-iday destinations often become an impromp-tu place of safety for children who had wan-dered from their families.A parent reunited with a child who had

wanderedoff is thehappyendingweallwouldwelcome. The other end of the divide is a veryreal fear.It brings tomind themisery left in thewake

of the Station Strangler, who terrorised theCape Flats between 1986 and 1994. The bodiesof 22 boys were found face down in shallowgraves in the dunes of Mitchell’s Plain. Theirhands were tied behind their backs.Norman Afzal Simons, a teacher, was ar-

rested and found guilty on one count of mur-der. The fingerprinting project will also cap-ture eye colour and allergies, with each childreceiving a certificate which can accommo-date a recent photograph.It bears questioning why such a simple, yet

very necessary project, has taken so long toget off the ground. There is merit to the annu-al school photographs which stand in familylounges. These photoswill be a vital accompa-niment to the fingerprint certificates.Each child in South Africa should have

such a certificate.

‘Conwoman’: I had same experienceTHE article “Conwoman ‘lifts’ cash duringride” (People’s Post, 21 August) refers.I had a similar experience at Blue Route

Mall a year or two ago; sounds like the samewoman.She kept fiddling with her seat belt and I

challenged her. She then asked to be let out.She wanted a lift to Muizenberg, but

changed her mind. When I got home I foundshe had been tampering with my bag, whichI had put behind my seat as she got in infront. Fortunately the money I had with-

drawn was elsewhere, not in my purse.When she knocked on my window and ap-

proached me for a lift I asked her if I knewher (as) I work in various communities. Shesaid: “Don’t start that nonsense. Did I not re-member?”Of course she gave me a conscience about

what I had said.I amnot surewhat the answer is, but hand-

bags have always been a target.JOYE GIBBSEmail

City really works for youA CONCERNED resident brought to my at-tention that our most valuable natural asset– water – was leaking for quite a while froma drain connection in Lovat Road, Ottery.On inspection it was also discovered an ex-

tremely huge drain, without a cover, poseda threat to human and animal lives alike.A fewmetres away I foundanother smaller

drain, also without a cover. It seemingly be-longs to a house water metre.I forwarded an email to the offices of coun-

cillor Monty Oliver on Monday 3 Septemberand outlined the concerns.Within hours the drain covers were re-

placed.

This speaks volumes of the motto: “ThisCity works for you.”This was shown here.The leaking water issue needed more at-

tention and on Friday 7 September I saw aWater and Sanitation team, under their fore-man, do major repair work to stop the waterleakage.The team were Luzipo Monde, Stephen

Haas and Wesley Bailey.We, as citizens, have to report these issues

and be patient the City will deliver.Thank you, councillor Monty Oliver.

“IT IS a great time to be awoman in Coun-cil,” says Anthea Serritslev, the City’sChief Whip.

“I get toworkwithwomenof substance likePremier Helen Zille, Mayor Patricia de Lille,Alderman Belinda Walker and ShehaamSims.”Serritslev wears two hats – since 1998, shehas served three terms of office as Propor-tional Representative (PR) councillor for theCity of Cape Town and the Metro.She explained the function of the PR coun-cillor is to assist the local councillor or towork in a ward allocated by the political par-ty.“As a PR councillor I serve on the Econom-ic Development Portfolio. I am involved inpolicy making, participating in workshopsand endless meetings. Many councillors arepart-time, but in reality it’s a full-time jobwhich spills over into political work onweek-ends. ThePRcouncillor is generally allocatedby a party to assist in award, but the primaryrole is to allow representation for the ninesmall parties. This gives them a chance toparticipate in a Portfolio committee, at sub-council and the ward committee.”She has been in council for 14 years work-ing in various capacities. She has served asChiefWhip for six years and wasmade an Al-derman in 2010.In her capacity as a councillor, she chairsthe Section 21 committee Philippi Economic

Development Initiative (PEDI). “I put a lot ofenergy into this project as I am not neededin Newlands/Claremont (Ward 59) which hasa very capable councillor – Ian Iversen, whoalso chairs subcouncil 20.”Directly after the People’s Post interviewshe was due to meet members of the PEDIboard. “We are trying to promote the indus-trial area and attract investors to create eco-nomic opportunities for the many unem-ployed residents. We are encouraging busi-nesses to return to Philippi. It is a goodlocation offering the nearest available indus-trial land to the airport. We are working withProvince to open up a new access off the N2into the area, the roads are being upgradedand the City has tidied up and created digni-fied areas with picnic spots and plantedtrees.”She says aGermanorganisation is interest-ed in investing in a soccer incentive for thechildren, and they are looking for suitableground and facilitation areas to bring skillsto the people.“Through PEDI we are working with thepolice and the Metro Police. To attract inves-tors we have tomake them confident the areais safe and secure. However, it’s too early togauge the response,” she says.“The main obstacles are the temporaryhousing and informal settlements whichspring up between the industrial sites. Wehave to retain the industrial land for jobs.”Philippiwas originally a horticultural areaand PEDI played a major part in establishingthe Philippi Fresh Produce Market and sup-ports projects such as Business Place, the JoeGqabi Station, the newPhilippi Plaza and thePhilippi Stadium. “But we need to attractmore industry to create jobs in the area.”Serritslev says a City Improvement Dis-trict (CID) is on the cards for the major busi-ness hub which is focused aroundLansdowne, Sheffield, Eisleben and Stockroads.She describes her role as Chief Whip asmore of an administrative job ensuring thesmooth running of the political side of Coun-cil and as part of the Mayco team she is ex-pected to attend all the meetings.“I look after the well-being of councillorsfrom all the parties and ensure they have thetraining and facilities to do their job.”She also chairs the disciplinary committeeto ensure the code of conduct is adhered to.Serritslev originally trained as a secretaryand worked in London and Milan. On her re-turn to Cape Town, she worked for Basil Ben-nett who restoredmany of the historic cottag-es in Chelsea Wynberg and was an original

member of the Old Wynberg Village Society.“I learned a lot about civic pride fromBasil– he was very keen on greening and wouldwrite to Council asking them to plant treesand flowers to beautify areas. That’s what acommunity should be doing; taking owner-ship and lobbying for what’s needed.”Until recently Serritslev was a director onthe board of the Cape Town Partnership anda trustee of the Cape Town Heritage Trust.She is proud of Cape Town and the fact thatit is considered a model city which is oftenused for pilot projects to set examples for oth-er municipalities.As a young, married woman, she becamea ceramicist and produced pottery for the do-mestic market.

“Originally, I was going to study occupa-tional therapy, as I enjoy working and guid-ing people, but I also enjoyed art, paintingand drawing. As a young mother, I had to beflexible andworked as a potter frommyhomein Newlands. But when I became a full-timecouncillor the job took up all my time.”These days she spends most of her time ather desk in the Civic Centre, starting at 7:00and finishing late in the evening. “When I re-tire I want to leave the legacy of an efficientWhip Office, accomplished councillors. Iwant to enjoy life in a city where the disad-vantaged live in suburbs with trees andgreenery, where people take ownership oftheir neighbourhoods and their children aresafe and occupied after school.’’

Teens headed for WashingtonJUANITA WILLIAMS

THREE happy teenagers from Zwaan-swyk High School are headed for Wash-ington as part of an employment trainingprogramme.

Carlynne O’Ryan (17) and Joshua Joubert(17) fromGrassyPark andKeanuSiebritz (16)from Retreat are maths and science whizzeswho have been involved in the three-yearBridge to Employment (BTE) training pro-gramme run by Johnson & Johnson.

They will fly to Washington to stay at theHilton Hotel in October.

This programme is being run on four conti-nents in nine countries with over 5000 BTEgraduates and is managed globally by theAcademy for Educational Development(AED).

The three Zwaanswyk grade 12 pupils arethe first three South Africans to be included.

They visited the Johnson & Johnson Re-treat factory for two hours, once a monthwhere tutors introduced them to the compa-ny’s technology and explained how the busi-ness works. They were also tutored by lifecoaches.

O’Ryan says the programme incorporatedbody language, presentation skills, strategyplanning, engineering, marketing, cosmicscience and medicine. “We watched live sur-gery on Skype and were able to ask the sur-

geon questions while he worked, which wasvery exciting,” she says.

The BTE programme is based on school-to-career models with the intention of increas-ing the number of students enrolling for terti-ary education and careers in the healthcaresector.

Western Cape Education Department Dis-trict Director of theMetropole South, EugeneDaniels, says less than 12% of employed peo-ple are working in their areas of strength.The programme is designed to help pupilsrecognise their strengths and choose careersthat will augment their capabilities.

“Healthcare isn’t just about becoming doc-tors or nurses,” says Laura Nel, Head of Cor-porate Affairs for Johnson & Johnson.

“There are over 2 000 healthcare positionsto choose from, and the programme providesthe tools necessary tomake an informed deci-sion about what to study in the future.”

Zwaanswyk High principal Dr Annis deBruyn says excelling at maths and scienceopens the doors to fabulous opportunities. Hestarted this project when he appealed to thecompany to assist pupils to expand their hori-zons. “This school encourages learners to im-prove their maths and science skills so theycan go on to university education, and enjoygood careers. We need companies to help mo-tivate the pupils to reach formore in life. Thisschool focuses on healthcare as there are lotsof opportunities for work in the field.”

Form, function of architectureWHEN initially con-fronted with thesight of a cityscape,we are filled withboth awe and trepi-dation.

Some of us are evena little intimidated bythe press of high-risebuildings and the cold,forbidding atmos-phere, seemingly de-void of life, feeling orbeauty.This is just not true. Urban land-

scapes are a wonderful mish-mashof architectural styles and func-tions providing the photographerwith a wealth of subject matter.The majestic soaring lines of a cityskyscraper with its block uponblock of windows; the ordered ar-ray of pillars; the mirror smoothmarble cladding; curtains of glassand steel frontage. Just as with thepeople that walk the streets – allwith their own character and storyto tell - some fit well into their sur-roundings and some do not.Much of architectural photogra-

phy is representational. That is tosay, the architect designed hisbuilding with a certain function inmind, to be viewed from a specificangle.Buildings can be photographed

as a single structure or in groups,grand and imposing. But the ex-panse and volume of a shoppingmall or theheight andbulkof a sky-scraper might be beyond the scopeof your equipment. Therefore, wecould concentrate on portions ofthe structure – the windows, stair-wells, a façade, the way light

strikes pillars, creat-ing interesting lines.To do justice to a

building, one must se-lect and frame careful-ly. In many cases, por-tions of a building areenough to tell thewhole story. These de-tails are best seen inthe right light. Woodand rough stone andconcrete need goodside-light to reveal tex-tures and substance.

Polished marble, metal and glassneed to gleam, reflecting the varie-ty of light and colour.The inclusion of the human form

will provide scale to a scene. Thevastness of ahall or arcade, orhugetowering pillars are then set intheir correct perspective.It is obvious that, because of the

enormity of some buildings, it isnot always possible to capturethem in their entirety, as was theintention of the architect.We are left to stand, head tilted

back, craning upward. We are pre-sented with an image that is im-mense at its base and tapering al-most to a point. This is what isknown as converging verticals – aphenomenon of perspective whenseen from such a vantage point,and is accentuatedbyawide angleslens.There is a way to control those

skewed verticals if you really wantto – view the building from a dis-tance through a telephoto lens – wein Cape Town have the advantageof ideal hilly conditions all around.Wecanget to the sameheight as thebuilding and view it straight on.

Making a differenceone tin at a time

The disease thatis retail therapyRETAIL therapy is supposedto be “shoppingwith the pri-mary purpose of improvingthe buyer’s mood or disposi-tion”.

Actually it is a psychologicaldisorder called “oniomania”or “compulsive shopping dis-order”, according to research-ers atMelbourneUniversity inAustralia.

Some idea of the seriousnessof the condition can be gaugedfrom a 2001 study by the Euro-pean Union which found that33% of shoppers have “a high level of addic-tion to rash or unnecessary consumption”.

Further evidence of the affliction can beseen in the increasing incidence of obesity,which also results from “rash or unneces-sary consumption”.

The challenge for the retail industry is tofind ways to increase the number of onioma-niacs and to make sure they are not cured.

One third of customers making unneces-sary purchases certainly helps the turnover,but imagine the effect on the bottom line ifthe percentage of those with compulsiveshoppingdisorder couldbepushedup to, say,50% or even 60%.

To do this the managers of supermarketshave devised a number of ways to keep shop-pers in the store and exposed to temptationfor as long as possible, while promoting thefiction of quick and convenient shopping.

The favourite trick is to put the newest,slowest cashiers on the express tills to frus-trate those healthy customers purchasing 10items or less. The cashiers are taught not tocount up to 10 and they are programmed toring the bell to call the supervisor as oftenas possible.

Shoppers in a hurry have already learned

it is better to join the trolleypushers in the long queues, be-cause they move fasterthrough more tills manned bymore efficient staff.

But it is a trap set for thosesuffering from compulsiveshopping disorder.

Store managers know themain impulse purchases aresweets, chips, soft drinks, choc-olates and magazines. Theyhave also noticed smart shop-pers, like women with smallchildren, know how to avoidthe aisles where these tempt-

ing goodies are on display.So, to deal with the oniomaniacs and take

revenge on the smart shoppers, they havecreated, in the name of improved service, anew system which funnels customersthrough a single queue towards a battery oftills regulated by a ghost voice which an-nounces “teller number 27” – or whatever.

The system produces nice long queues andthe stores take advantage by lining the routeof these processions with shelves stackedwith sweets, cold drinks, chips, chocolates(the imported, highmark-upkinds), nuts andother tempting treats you avoided in thestore.

Pity the young mother trying to drag twoscreaming pre-schoolers through this valleyof temptation! In a state of acute embarrass-ment, she really has no option but to bribethe little monsters with sweet things.

And so the young are corrupted while theresolve of those on diet is sabotaged and thehealth of the nation is undermined. Is it anywonder that the world has an obesity prob-lem?

But, hey, the disease is good for the bottomline and what could be more important thanthat?

Bikers with a messageWITH breast cancer as the common de-nominator, a group of women are mount-ing motorbikes to spread the messagethat cancer can be beaten.

Riding under the banner of Journey ofHope, the women will this year have asa themeCheck, Know, Prevent = Survival.People’s Post is the media partner for

Journey of Hope.KathyMalherbe, the spokesperson and

herself a cancer survivor, says: “The bur-den of breast cancer in South Africa is onthe increase. Many women and men donot receive adequate care for the diseasebecause of lack of access and low levelsof awareness.Unlessmedical care, educa-tion and screening practices are im-proved, breast cancer mortality rates areprojected to keep increasing.”

Now it its fifth year, the NPO Journeyof Hope continues to educate people andcreate awareness of breast cancer, the im-portance of early detection and providingsupport to those affected by the disease.

The annual bike ride – from Friday 5to Sunday 14 October across regions ofSouth Africa – aims to educate the publicand de-mystifying the idea that only mid-dle-aged women are prone to breast can-cer. The 16 breast cancer survivors fromall walks of life will embark on reachingrural communities by ridingmotorcyclesfrom Pretoria to Bethlehem, focusing onareas in the eastern Free State then head-ing through the KZN Midlands and end-ing at Ushaka Marine World in Durban– thus reaching outlying communitiesand educating them about breast cancer.

New columnist on the blockCARBON footprints, clean air and envi-ronmental awareness has taken “green”issues into the global realm.To this end, People’s Post welcomes

Glenn Ashton to its ranks of writers.His column – called Earth Pulse – will

cover environmental issues in a relevantand broadly accessible manner.Ashton says: “I will write about how

the natural, built and social environ-ments each relate to the other and howone cannot be isolated from the other.The environment is not only about livingthings, it is just as much about the inani-matewhich shapes the environment. Theearth, mountains, sky and sea frame ourlives andprovide all living things, includ-ing us, with all that we need.”Our lives are “captive within an end-

less cycle”.“It is both too slow for us to notice and

too fast for us to realise what is happen-ing.Aswater evaporates from the sea andfalls as rain, it gradually erodes themountains, fills our dams, grinds the

rock into soil and feeds the endless cyclesof life.”And while we humans think we are so

important, says Ashton, “the reality isthat we have been here for just the blinkof an eye in the greater narrative of ourplanet”.Earth Pulse, says Ashton, will capture

the “huge influence the billions and bil-lions of people have on the earth”, as wellas be about how “we can each manage tolive a life of meaning”.“This is what the environment is

about: if we do not live in balance withour environment, we cannot live in bal-ance with society or ourselves.”He hopes his column will help cement

our social and environmental lives intosomething that makes sense, that givescohesion and meaning to our lives. “Welive in one of theworld’s youngest democ-racies. We have obligations to ourselves,our communities, our nation and per-haps most importantly, to the legacy weleave for future generations.”

CREATED in 2007 by Kommetjie-basedKahuna Promotions, the EarthwaveBeach Festival showcases the broad ap-peal of the beach and surfing lifestyle,promotes environmental awareness andsustainable lifestyle options that reduceour impact on climate change and raisesawareness and funds for worthy causes.

Buildingon the interest generatedbyworldrecord attempts, the annual festival hasgrown into a two-day multi-sport event thatattracts crowds of participants and specta-

tors to Muizenberg Beach, recently acknowl-edged by National Geographic as one of the20 top surfing towns on the planet.

This year the BOS Earthwave Beach Festi-val is scheduled for the weekend Saturday 29and Sunday 30 September, and will featuremultiple world record attempts for the firsttime. Not only will hundreds of local surferspaddle out on the Sunday to try and break theGuinnessWorld Record for the “most surfersriding the same wave” – currently 110 set atEarthwave 2009 – but they will also attemptto set a new record for the “longest line ofsurfboards on a beach” the Saturday.

The record-breaking attempts take place

alongside the Surf Emporium WP Inter-Schools Championships, the New BalanceWP Longboard Champs and the exciting newSimilasan Tandem Surfing Championships,where a man and a woman perform trickswhile riding the same surfboard.

There is also the Coreban SUP Classic forStandUpPaddleboards andSurfskis, theBOSDig for Gold treasure hunt, the People’s Posttouch rugby tournament and free testing foriron and glucose levels at the Spatone FirstAid Tent. Exhibits and presentations by ex-perts on environmental awareness and skin-care are staged in the giant marquee alongwith fundraising for the Shark Spotters and

the Sunflower Fund.Demos of the latest Land Padding and SUP

equipment, free learn to surf lessons, beachcleanups, and heaps of giveaways and luckydraws will take place on the beach.

And there will be Earthwave parties atRafikis in the city andBrass Bell inKalkBay,where the official results of the world recordattempts will be announced on the Saturdayand Sunday evenings.

Look out for more information on the 2012BOS Earthwave Beach Festival in People’sPost, the print media partner, andwww.wavescape.co.za, thedigitalmediapart-ner.

LIAM MOSES

CHRIS DU PONT was crowned CapeFight League light heavyweight cham-pion after beating Craig Fourie at theWynberg Military base on Saturday.

Du Pont, who trains at Observatorygym Phoenix Muay Thai and MMA, beathis Durban-based opponent by technicalknockout just minutes into the firstround.

Both fighters came out of their cornersswinging, but Du Pont soon fell back onto his wrestling skills, searching for anopportunity to take the contest to theground.

After initially spending some timewithhis back to the ground, Du Pont wrestledhis way into a full mount and let loose aflurry of punches.

After the fight Du Pont said out-grap-pling his larger opponent was always histactic. “I’m feeling good; I’m feeling fit. Icould have gone on. I stuck to the gameplan and everything went well,” said DuPont.

“The game plan was to stick and move,out-wrestle him, get him to the groundandusemydominantwrestling towin thefight.”

The victory was only Du Pont’s secondin a professional fight, having won hisfirst at the inaugural Cape Fight Leagueevent in February.

He expected Fourie, a more experi-enced fighterwith a reputation as aheavy

hitter, to pack more a punch. “I thoughthe was going to hit a lot hard because ofhis stature. He hit quite hard, but I wasable to wear it,” commented Du Pont.

“I took two big knees and I was able towear those too. I just kept looking for thetake-down. I pursued it and I got it.”

Thenewly crownedkingof the cage laiddown a challenge to all MMA fighters totry to take his title.

The 13-contest fight card produced sev-eral othermoments of action, as amateursand professionals from around the coun-try battled it out.

It startedwith a professional K1 contestbetween Thaiholics fighter Wade Ham-mond and Panther MMA’s Mbouyi Ade-ba.

The fight went the full distance and atie-breaker roundwasneeded to establisha winner after the third round, with thefighters dead-locked on the same amountof points. Adeba was eventually crownedas thewinner after knocking downhis op-ponent twice in the fourth round.

In the evening’s other professional K1fights, Takedown MMA’s Lucky Mokateand Ncedo Gomba of Phoenix fought outa draw, while Cristiano Ndombasseyknocked out Phoenix fighterKevinPhekoin a gruelling contest.

The fight pittedPheko’s orthodoxMuayThai style against Ndombassey’s power-ful punches. Pheko dominated the contestwith his stinging low kicks, but eventual-ly succumbed to a powerful left fromNdombassey.

AFTER fighting their way through a gru-elling play-off stage, 13 teamshave finallybooked their places in the Engen Knock-out Challenge finals.

proper defending champions Ajax CapeTown, PSL newcomers Chippa United andhost team Engen Santos.Bayhill United were one of the last sides to

seal their passage to the finals, finishing atthe top of group four after recording a winand a draw in their two games.The Mitchell’s Plain team drew 1-1 with

Greenwood Athletic in their opening fixtureand secured a narrow victory over BluegumUnited last Thursday.Adriaan Jansen, the team’s coach, was re-

lieved his side had qualified, blaming theiruninspired performance on a lack of concen-tration.“I think we could have done much better.

I know we trained hard. But there’s pressureon the boys, because they know what thegame is all about. I’m not happywith the foot-ball they played, but I am very happy withthe result,” says Jansen.Bayhill opened the scoringafter only 30 sec-

onds, when striker Imraan Khan’s misdirect-ed crosswas fumbled into the net byBluegumgoalkeeper Mitch Lingeveldt.They made several more visits into the fi-

nal third, but seldommanaged to create clear-cut chances and did not take goal-scoring op-

portunities which came their way.Despite dominating the game, Bayhill were

unable tomake their possessionand territorycount, and the game finished 1-0.Jansen ruled out the possibility that his

playersmayhave lost focus because of theun-familiar time of the fixture and said he wasconfident they could win the competition.“This atmosphere is actually conducive to

them playing good football. They go throughthe motions on a Saturday or Sunday after-noon,” says Jansen.“This is something new, because they see

it on TV; they see the professionals playingat night. This is good for them, because itgives them a little bit of a taste of that.In other fixtures on Thursday evening,
