Toll Plaza protests continueSTEFNI HERBERT

PROTESTERS plan on picket-ing at the Cape High Court on

Monday, following their marchto hand over a memorandum tothe various roleplayers.

HoutBayResidents’ andRatepay-ers’ Association (HBRRA) will leadthe march to apply for a secondbuilding interdict to stop the con-struction on Chapman’s Peak.

Chairperson of HBRRA, LenSwimmer, says: “Our advocatesthink we have a stronger case andwe hope we will be awarded the in-terdict.”

The angry protesters applied foran urgent interdict in March, but itwas not awarded because there wasno basis for the urgency.

Swimmer says there is already ir-reparable damage done to themountain after they gouged out amassive section of it, but it does not

mean they should still be allowed togo ahead with the construction.

“Having the office block and tollplaza built is environmentally andmorally wrong, not to mention ille-gal as it is being built on a WorldHeritage Site,” says Swimmer.

If the judgement is awarded in fa-vour of the protesters, constructionwill be put on hold immediately andin order for it to continue, an appealwill have to be lodged by the opposi-tion.

“If action is taken against us afterbeing awarded the interdict, thetaxpayerwill have to foot thebill forthe court action.

“Even though this fight is costingus a lot of money, we have loyal do-nors and many who support thiscause,” says Swimmer.

Protesters marched from HoutBay beach to Entilini Hout Bay of-fices on late Sunday morning.

They handed over a memoran-dum to representatives from the re-

spective parties involved in the con-struction – the Provincial Govern-ment, Entilini and theircontractors, Murray and Roberts.

Organiser of the protest, well-known hunger striker, BronwenLankers-Byrne says: “About 200people attended the march, butwhen we handed the memorandumover to the various representatives,they just took it and walked away,refusing to say anything.”

Swimmer says there is no needfor an office block or a toll plaza, itwould be acceptable to construct acontrol room and simply have aboom operating on a prepaid ticketsystem.

Swimmer says: “We could cometo a settlement, but there are noneso deaf as those who will not hear.”

Dear reader,

There are only a few days left before theJive Slave Route Challenge, on SundayMay 27, and I’m praying harder than everbefore.

I’m convinced that nothing short of amiracle, combined with a bagful of deter-mination, arnica, ankle andknee guards and painkillerswith the power of morphine,will help me go the 10km dis-tance.

Despite best intention a fewshortweeks ago, I haven’t stuckto my training plan (was thereever one?). I can’t be blamedthough as I’ve had a number ofpressing matters to attend to.Life! Between my work and per-sonal commitments, I’vesqueezed in three runs in thepast two weeks, one on mytrampoline, one with a muchfitter adult and another withtwo toddlers.

I usually drive this energetic pair to day-care, but this time round, I ran them the2.2km distance. I’ve never seen them morerelieved to arrive at “Teacher Carol’s”, orhappier to see my tail end as I ran back bymyself. My eating plan is flourishing, withafter midnight checks-in at an eaterydrive-through for supersized meals, rou-tine stops at a popular roadhouse for halfa dozen samoosas - where incidently, Ibumped into one of our coaches, who shallremain nameless - and loads of hot chipsto warm the early winter chill. I think thisis what’s meant by “carbo loading”.

Though unscientific, my strategy haspaid some dividends as I’ve lost lots of cen-timetres and have had to have some cloth-ing adjusted as my favourite pairs of pantsare literally swimming around my waist.

I must be on the right track, in fact this wasconfirmed by same coach who, packet ofsamoosas in hand, told me that as runnerswe can afford to eat such delicacies. I neverwant to stop running.

Realistically, and I’m sure any expertrunner will agree, I see no point in strain-ing myself between now and race day or

in incurring further inju-ry to my athletic form, soI’ll be putting up my feetpretty much, secure in theknowledge that I will com-plete the race, whether Irun, walk or crawl it. Myreward will be knowingthat I’ve finished whatI’ve started and enjoyingthe sumptuous breakfastI’ve been invited to by therace organisers as a repre-sentative of People’s Post.I am usually famished af-ter a good workout. Aftermy long working week

which ends on Saturday, Sunday will seeme bright and breezy at the start of the JiveSlave Route Challenge half marathon and10km race at 06:45, with my race beginningat 07:15 and breakfast lasting till 11:00, soif my maths is good, I’ll have a generousfour hours to complete my run. At thispace, I’m not out to break any records, butmay yet set a new record. I wish all raceparticipants an enjoyable run, with im-mense admiration for runners like Ed-ward Murdoch who, at 79, will be the oldestcompetitor.I will be cheering for you Ed-ward. Till next time, go well!

In it to finish it

AWARD-WINNING film-maker, AmourSetter, is an awesome risk taker.

She recently relocated to Bangkokfrom Tokai, Cape Town, to take her film-making career to the next level.

She arrived in Bangkok and the newsbroke that the television commercial sheshot for Chevrolet had won first place inthe prestigious Chevrolet Route 66 compe-tition in America.

Four weeks after arriving in Bangkokshe was whisked off to Los Angeles to at-tend the awards.

Excited and inspired, Amour returnedto Bangkok to complete two more com-mercials before starting with her excit-ing short film script They Came.

Setter says: “The story involves hero-ine Ice Cooper, who is desperately tryingto get on with her life and find peace. Un-fortunately she has some formidable ene-mies who catch up with her in Bangkokand try to kill her. Ice is faced with thebiggest decision of her life – should shetake them down or take them out? Thisstory has drawn the attention of some ofthe most talented actors in Bangkok, wholove the script.”

Like most passionate film-makers, Set-ter draws her inspiration from everydaylife. The characters in They Came arebased on characters she has encounteredin real life. The film deals with the sub-ject of stalking, examines the relation-ship between the three characters andshows just how far obsession can go.

Setter is the grand-daughter of twowell-known South African stage and filmactors of the ’70s, Anton and Olga Heunisand the cousin of The Mummy actor, Ar-nold Vosloo.

Amour joined the film industry in 1991and began directing in 1995 where she cuther teeth on music videos and a few otherprojects.An experienced commercialsproducer, Setter has had her hand in sev-eral different projects over the years, in-cluding line producing a popular SABC

television series and publishing her firstbook in 2010.

Even though she has tried her hand ata number of different assignments, herheart lies in directing and screenwriting.

Setter plans to embark on the script forher debut feature film as soon as she com-pletes They Came. Her short film is ear-marked for all the major internationalshort film festivals.

Setter is currently represented by filmcompanies in Bangkok, Dubai, CapeTown and Malta. She is also the inde-pendent owner of Auteur Film School, anaward-winning on-line film school whichshe established in Tokai in 2006.

They Came is scheduled for productionin Bangkok in June.

Expansion still on the cardsTAURIQ HASSEN

DESPITE talk to the contrary, the My-Citi bus service will be expanded intoMitchell’s Plain and Khayelitsha.

The Cape Chamber of Commerce hascriticised the expansion as reportedly be-ing “economically unfeasible”, makingthe service “unprofitable”.

Councillor Brett Herron, Mayoral Com-mittee Member for Transport, Roads andStormwater for the City of Cape Town,scrapped talks around halting the expan-sion. He feels statements by the chamberhad been made on “assumptions”.

“There is no problem with expandingthe routes of the MyCiti bus service andit was only being criticised by the cham-ber, but we felt that before they madethese assumptions to the public, theyshould have communicated with theCity,” says Herron.

The MyCiti system already recordedtheir three millionth passenger trip,which is expected to increase as the futurephases of the system are in full swing.

This would include a network of newfeeder routes in the Cape Town CBD andalong the Atlantic Seaboard, towardsHout Bay and to Salt River.

“I questioned the chamber on what ba-sis the extension into these areas wouldbe unfeasible and requested that beforeany information is released to the public,it should be filtered through the City,”Herron added.

There are currently 17 bus routes run-ning from Table View, into the city centre

up until the Cape Town International Air-port with about six IRT temporary routesinbetween.

Herron explained that the City projectsthat by the end of 2013, an express servicewould be up and running and. “Publictransport was not designed by the govern-ment to make a profit,” he says.

The debacle comes weeks before thefirst anniversary of the MyCiti bus serv-ice, which will be celebrated by offeringCapetonians free rides on Sunday 27 May.

It is hoped this outing will give resi-dents the chance to “reflect on what hasbeen achieved”, while at the same timethey can look forward to the system beingexpanded throughout the Peninsula.

“We have had enormous support fromacross the city since we started rolling outour first MyCity buses,” says Herron.

All trips on the MyCiti buses on the daywill be free. Each passenger will be re-quired to visit any station kiosk on theday to collect a pass, which can be used

to ride on as many buses and routes asthey want. “If you begin your trip on afeeder bus there will be ambassadors onthe buses who will provide you with thenecessary pass, so there is no need tomake your way to the station first to col-lect your pass,” says Herron.

Obtain route information and time ta-bles on the website www.cape-town.gov.za/myciti or contact080 065 6463 or email myciti@cape-town.gov.za.

Pushing buttons for a livingYOUR BUTTONS can help change alife.

Over the years the Westlake Com-munity Centre have been involvedwith many projects, but now they areconcentrating mainly on beading andsewing.

Judy Lambrecht who is involvedwith craft at the Westlake CommunityCentre says the “need for crafting”was born out of Ithemba which is theHIV/AIDS support group.

The centre has been making neck-laces from recycled buttons whichhave been donated to WUCT craftproject.

Lambrecht says: “It has taken threeyears for this particular project totake off and now we are at last makingenough necklaces for the beading la-dies to actually earn a living”.

As an NPO, the money, after costshave been covered goes directly to thecreator of each necklace.

Lambrecht explains the low costmaterial, as part of a recycling proc-ess, has been a viable project.

“We are also trying to raise moneyto provide a salary for a craft co-ordi-nator and a portion of the selling priceof each necklace goes towards this.”

Lambrecht points out that after hav-

ing buckets, boxes and tins of buttonsthey are now down to very few suita-ble necklace buttons.

“I want to make an appeal at the li-brary for buttons”, says Lambrecht.“We would appreciate two or fourholed buttons in all the colours exceptblack and white.”

The necklaces are sold at R40 andR50 depending on their length.

For more information call Di For-rester in the mornings at the UnitedChurch, Westlake Village on(021) 702 1697.

MAYOR Patricia De Lillehas proposed to award theFreedom of the City to USPresident Barack Obamaand his wife Michelle. De-scribing the Obama coupleas “guiding stars to oureventual destination”, a citystatement says, if he ac-cepts, Obama would join theranks of former presidentNelson Mandela and Arch-bishop Emeritus DesmondTutu.

De Lille says in a “cynicalage” there is a “desperate needfor universal hope”.

“Noting the inspiration theyhave been to us and the world,and acknowledging that theirextraordinary success haveonly been possible with thesupport of each other, I haveproposed to the Rules Commit-tee, in accordance with allprocesses, that it recommendthat the next meeting of Coun-cil honours Barack andMichelle Obama with ourhighest award,” says De Lille.

There are however thosewho question the mayor’schoice. The Media Review Net-work and the Muslim JudicialCouncil called on the DA to re-consider the decision as theywere appalled that the USApresident and his wife wererecommended for the award.People’s Post heard what read-ers had to say about this awardgoing to the American presi-dential pair.

Should foreigners be allowedfreedom of the city?

MORALLY CORRUPT: Abigail Scheepers says: “Barackis in favour of same­sex marriages. What kind of exampleis the City of Cape Town setting for themselves by be­stowing such a precious honour on someone with un­christian morals?” Photo: Summer Jacobs

LOCAL IS BETTER: Mavis Londt says: “I suppose as thefirst black president of the United States he certainly hasachieved a lot, but I feel the award should be given tosomeone local. There are so many people in the countrywho are much more deserving, such as someone whoruns an NPO, benefitting the community.”

NOT FAIR: Lauren Myborg says “There are so manypositive role models in South Africa that’s worthyof the award. It should definitely have gone to a lo­cal. My mother is a prime example.”

GOOD RELATIONS: Hans Louw says: “It’s good tocreate strong bonds with other countries. It’s a ‘ifyou wash my back, I’ll wash yours’ scenario andthat’s how it’s always been in politics, and alwayswill be.”

CAPETONIANS SHOULD HAVE A SAY: BelindaVan Wyk says: “The city belongs to all Cape­tonians living in it, so shouldn’t we have a sayin who gets the award? It’s not something tobe handled lightly, they are granted the Free­dom of the City after all. Maybe there shouldbe a poll or something along those lines.”

GOODWILL: Joschelle Jacobs says: “I haven’treally been following the story that closelybut I’m sure the mayor had good reasons forchoosing the American president. Whateverthey are, lets hope it brings some good to theMother City.”

Drug testing at Chrysalisreaps massive benefitsSUMMER JACOBS

RANDOM drug testing at the ChrysalisAcademy has reaped a “100%” successrate.

This comes three months after introducingdrug testing – done without any of the youthknowing who or when they’d be tested.

The academy – in picturesque Tokai – is ded-icated to helping at-risk youth through skillsdevelopment as part of its social crime preven-tion strategy.

Those who benefit from the academy havebeen identifiedasbeingat riskof gangsterism,substance abuse and unemployment.

Chrysalis aims to teach the youth in its carehow to take responsibility for their own per-sonal growth.

The drug testing project aims to reduce thelevel of substance abuse.

And, says CEO Lucille Meyer, it is a first for

the academy since it was established in 2000.Meyer says the drug testing is in response

to the “general increase of substance abuse inthe province”.

She explains the initiative was introducedafter many of the youth admitted to substanceabuse, with tik and dagga among the mostcommon drugs of choice.

Meyer stresses Chrysalis is not a rehabilita-tion centre, but acknowledges drug abuseamong the youth is “a reality impossible to es-cape”.

“The random drug testing was introducedso that we could get an idea of how many ofour students were using substances. It alsocreates awareness, because when we do thetests, there are pre-counselling sessionswhere students are informed about the effectsof drugs.”

During the firstweek into their three-monthcourse, 19 students were tested.

Nine tested positive. In the next round, only

one of the 32 students tested positive.A month later 82 students were tested. All

tested negative for drugs.Meyer believes the success of the random

drug tests is underpinned by an official docu-ment – a chain of custody report – which statestheir results “in black and white”.

“It does wonders for the students’ self-es-teem when they are handed their results.”says Meyer.

“They can hold their head up high knowingthey have proof of being clean.”

The success of the programme has earnedit continued funding by the Department ofCommunity Safety.

Provincial community safety minister DanPlato says the project’s success is based on thestudents instantly knowing their status andhelp is immediately available.

Model turned wine expert retiresAFTER 28 years as public rela-tions officer of Groot Constan-tia Estate and Wine Sales, MeryUribe retired last week.

She celebrated with a lavishparty in the Winery and soakedup the complimentary speechesfrom chairman Doctor ErnestMessina and general managerJean Naude.

Uribe started her career atGroot Constantia as a wine cellarguide and after two years, movedinto the role of PRO.

Shehas succeeded threegeneralmanagers – Koos Stofberg, DannieApfel and Jean du Toit.

She has hosted royalty such asPrincesses Magriet and Irenefrom the Netherlands and QueenSofia of Spain, sports personali-ties such as Shane Warne, theWaugh brothers, ambassadors,foreign consuls and three Cana-dian Indians (feather headdressesincluded), among many other in-ternational celebs.

“Uribe’s gift,” Naude says in hisfarewell speech, “is that she canrelate to everyone, from celebri-ties to farm workers.”

“In fact,” Uribe says, “Sayingfarewell to the guys from the win-ery and other workers was reallytough. I wanted to howl my eyesout.”

What kept Uribe engrossed forso many years?

“I am passionate about GrootConstantia, it is so beautiful andspecial, I am going to really missit. I might take up their offer to

conduct the cellar tours part time,but right now, I really need to re-lax and reduce my stress levels. Iam a people’s person and love thebuzz, so I won’t stay at home for-ever.”

Uribe has seen many changesin her 28 years.

“The restaurants Simon’s andJonkershuis have opened up onthe estate and attracted many vis-itors.

“And nowadays, tourists canhop on the Citibus at the Water-front every 20 minutes and ride tothe estate, Constantia Nek, Ea-gle’s Nest etc,” she says.

It’s no surprise that this tall,gorgeous lady started life as amodel in Durban and moved on tobe a photographic model inBrighton, UK.

“I loved modelling, but I washomesick and returned to Dur-ban, met my husband Yumel, amusician from Columbia, after afashion show and moved to theCape.

“We were living in Tokai whenI saw an advert for wine cellarguides at the estate and applied,even though I had little knowl-edge about wine.

“When I got the job, I completedwine courses with KWV and theCapeWineAcademy,” saysUribe.

Uribe’s future plans include im-proving her golf and tennis andreading more books.

Grant Newton, who will takeover as e–marketing/sales man-ager, says Uribe will be a hard actto follow.

Without hope there is no joyDEEP in the heart of leafy Bergvliet

is the last place one would expect tofind a counselling centre.

Hope House, just off Children’s Way, wasstarted eight years ago by Judy Strickland.

Judy has cared for people for as long asshe can remember, and has raised three fos-ter children, as well as her own three chil-dren “I seem to attract people who needhelp,” she modestly explains. “I began coun-selling people from my lounge and neverdreamed that things would grow so large.Funding is purely by faith and small dona-tions from people who can afford to pay.”

She began the counselling centre at theMountain View Baptist Church and fromthere moved to St Martin’s Church which of-fered them a permanent home in Bergvliet.

Furnished likea familyhome,HopeHousehas a cosy atmosphere, relaxing waitingroom, and private rooms for heart-to-hearts.A large Wendy house stands in the garden,and this is used for one-on-one play therapywith children.

“We help children (three to 18 years old)with behavioural problems, or childrenfrom abused, divorced or violent homes,”says Judy. These children are encouraged toact out their problems in the play area underthe guidance of a counsellor.

“ We hold morning and afternoon sessionsfor the little ones. We also hold anger man-agement and self esteem groups in localschools . The little ones need lots of help, es-pecially those with ADHD. It’s important tocatchproblemsearly insteadof trying to cor-rect them in adulthood,” explains Judy.

There’s an air of understanding at HopeHouse which is a relaxing change from theworkday attitudes and it feels like the homeof a large, happy family.

The stalwarts of this registered NPO areJudy, the director, her husband Allen Strik-land and Celeste, the secretary. There are al-so 36 voluntary counsellors.

“Wealso offer counselling to adults,whichoften takes place after hours. “

Adult relationships are fraught with pit-falls and the realities of marriage are partic-ularly tough for some people.

Judy says: “Relationships are a big prob-lem, everything relates back to them – de-pression, stress, lack of communication – sowe run regular marriage and parentingcourses. There are plenty of problems whicharise in blended families (divorced coupleswith children from previous marriages).These will run in the evenings from 19:30 to

21:30 once a month. The marriage pro-grammes run for six weeks, once a week.

“Although the counselling is dealt with ona Christian ethos basis, we don’t evangeliseand the counsellors can also assist people ofother faiths. At least 20% of our clients arefrom Moslem families,” says Judy.

Student counsellors train at UCT, Corner-stone Institute and the South African Col-lege of Applied Psychology (SACAP). Theyalso do field work at Hope House and manycontinue to volunteer afterwards.

There are seven male counsellors at HopeHouse, so the whole spectrum of afflictionscan be dealt with.

Judy is excited about the new drug coun-selling centre which has just opened, “It’s avery nice centre in Steenberg Business Parkin Military Road which is accessible to allareas, including Retreat, Lavender Hill andBergvliet. “

“Drugs like Tic and dagga are a big prob-lem in schools so we do talks in schools aswell, and people are referred to us. The ris-ing crime rate and unemployment arelinked to drugs.

“Shaun, a man with plenty of life experi-ence is in charge of the new drug counsellingcentre,” says Judy. “He will be running agovernment recognized programme calledMatrix for addicts, life skills courses in com-puters, help clients to do job research, com-pile CVs and generally assist them to be-come fully functioning members of the com-munity.”

Hope House’s baby project has been pro-viding bags of baby clothes and toiletries tomaternity hospitals for eight years.

This provides new moms with everythingthey need to start off life with their newchild, without this service many momswould leave hospital without any babywearat all. Anyone who would like to donate ba-bygrows, blankets and baby toiletries cancontact Hope House.

“We need knitters urgently. We also needtoys for the children that we counsel,” saysJudy. Anyone wanting to become a counsel-lor, can attend a Training Course, whichtakes place over one or two years on a Tues-day evening. Enrolment for 2013 is in No-vember. Other courses include parentingcourses, anger management, addictioncounselling and depression.

New clients are referred to Hope House byhospitals, schools, police stations andschools, but anyone with a problem is wel-come to contact Hope House at (021) 715 0424.For more details www.hopehouse.co.za.

SUMMER JACOBS

WOMEN came in their droves to sup-port sisters in distress, affirming theWHEAT sisterhood.

This year’s Women’s Hope Educationand Training (WHEAT) Trust functionwas themed “1 000 Women United againstDomenstic Violence”.

The Cape Town Convention Centre wasfilled with a powerful energy on Thursdayas women from different cultures andbackgrounds rubbed shouldersl.

WHEAT Trust chairperson Freda Dan-iels says: “Our organisation is one whichbelieves in a world where there is socialjustice, equality and respect for women’srights.”

An impressive line-up of speakers whocaptivated the crowd with heartfelt wordsand inspiring messages, included Scienceand Technology minister Naledi Pandor;Lulu Xingwana, Minister of Women, Chil-dren and People with Disabilities; andWHEAT patron and philanthropist WendyAckerman.

Investing in women-headed grassrootsorganisations, the trust aims to facilitatemeaningful and positive change in theircommunities.

Mustadafin Tafelsig Aids Project inMitchell’s Plain is one such organisation.

The non-government organisationworks to combat the spread of HIV/Aidsin Mitchell’s Plain. It facilitates HIV/Aidsawareness campaigns, runs educationalprojects, provides home-based care andfeeds up to 4 000 malnourished people as

well as those infected with HIV/Aids eachday.

Director Ghairunisa Johnstone says:“The luncheon serves as a reminder ofwhat we, as women, are capable of.

“We are in powerful positions becausewe have the ability to recognise ourstrengths and our weaknesses and how toovercome them.”

The Ubuntu Rural Women and YouthMovement, in Klapmust near Paarl, is anorganisation run by women. It was theirfirst representation at the WHEAT func-tion.

The movement is aimed at equipping ru-

ral women and youth in efforts to make apositive change in their lives.

The founder, Wendy Pekeur, explainsthey have three projects running. One ofthese is a health programme which focuss-es on Foetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS).

Pekeur says: “We believe impoverishedareas are capable of producing doctors, ad-vocates and lawyers, but a child born withFAS is unable to realise that dream.”

Mienie van Wyk (58), a representative ofthe elderly on the Ubuntu executive com-mittee, says being part of the UbuntuMovement has given her a fresh perspec-tive on life.

“I never had a formal education,” saysVan Wyk.

“I always felt excluded because of it, butnow that I am part of the Ubuntu Move-ment I feel like I belong. I have learntabout my rights and ownership as a wom-en. It has all lead me to be able to join inon this incredible lunch.”

The event facilitated the process to re-new the fight against women abuse in thecity. To this end, it brings together ordi-nary women and representatives fromgovernment and the private sector in theircommon aim to eradicate domestic vio-lence.

UnthinkableTHERE is much to be said about man’s rela-tionship with his pets.

On the one hand, cats, dogs, birds and otherbeloved animal species are well cared for bytheir human families.

Theoppositeholds for theunfortunate four-leggeds and furries who live with people whocan’t fend for themselves, let alone their pets.

Yet, an area such as Khayelitsha reportedlyhas a cat and dog population of nearly 100 000.

This uncontrolled breeding has been con-trived and deliberate by the thoughtless peo-ple who argue that sterilising or letting go oftheir dogs, will deprive them of income theyderive from selling puppies.

How did the situation spiral as out of con-trol as it is to now be highlighted as a cam-paignby theSouthAfricanMassAnimalSter-ilisation Trust, is underway?

Besides theneed for sterilisation, theunfor-givable abuse of thousands of animals bysome communities, is heartbreaking.

One of the worst reported cases of animalabuse last year was that of a dog found buriedalive at a school “because it was a nuisance,hanging around the classrooms”.

The dog was rescued in time. Few are as for-tunate.

Granted, not all poorer people mistreattheir pets, but just as people cannot surviveon “love and fresh air”, so too can’t their pets.

The reality of owning pets translates to ef-fort and money. Most youngsters have dogsbecause they think it’s “cool”.

Sterilisation is a first step and should be fol-lowed by monitoring to drastically reduce thepet population, with access to animal welfareservices and education initiatives. Harshfines and sentences should be imposed onthose convicted of illegally breeding dogs andkeeping dogs for dog fights.

How can a poor family provide for petswhen they’re unable to provide even the ba-sics for themselves?

It’s not rocket science; just pure mathemat-ics.

A modern day saintEDNA Greenstein came high-ly recommended by a speechtherapist working at High-lands House. Edna was ablessing to my Dad, GiellieKropman, during the lastyears of his life (like amodernday Florence Nightingale).

She cared and looked afterhim, like he was a member ofher own family. Her onlyterms and conditions, whenshe became a permanent car-er and companion for my dad,was that she would take careof him but not let him into herheart. These terms and condi-tions were however broken,as he crept right into herheart.

It was inevitable as he wasa humble, wonderful man,and did this to everyone whoknew him. Edna was no ex-ception. Edna drove him

around in her car, had himfor Passover in her home,made him speak better, andgave him a reason to live withher wonderful personality.

When he was sick she wasthere for him. She was also ahuge help to our family. Wecan highly recommend Ednato anyone as she will not onlybring peace of mind to the pa-tient’s family but lots of joy tothe person she cares for.

She works at Darg andhelps with the animals on apart-time basis. She was puton this earth to care for peo-ple and animals in need.

Edna has a big heart andhas so much to offer. She wasa lifesaver to our family. Any-one requiring Edna’s servicecan contact her 073 148 3183.MARGOLITE WILLIAMSGreen Point

Don’t come begging to meI HAVE several dogs and theirlife is bliss divine.

When I got them I knew whatI was getting myself into. Foodtwice a day, grooming, vet bills,medicine, dog beds and blan-kets, walkers, dog sitters, theline of service does not end nordoes the cost.

So don’t tell me to help Khay-elitsha’s 100 000 dogs. My heartbleeds for them but what busi-ness do these people have withthat many dogs?

All I hear about are open toi-lets, no proper roofs, no elec-tricity, and no running water.So tell me what makes themthink they can have 100 000dogs running around?

They don’t care. They don’tthink. They only think fromhand to mouth, so my advice isbekind to animals andput themto sleep in a gentle way.

And, in future, give people inlocations that have dogs, a heftyfine, like a traffic fine, untilthey understand that dogs comewith responsibility.They areexpensive to keep so you cannotpussy foot around just becauseit’s cool to have a dog. Think be-fore you act.

As for the people involved infighting dogs for money, theymust be put behind bars.I really

find it an outrage that you ad-vertise for help. You are askingpeople to throw money down abottomless pit because of otherirresponsible people’s pets suf-fering.

You are doing those pets a fa-vour by putting them to sleepbecause they don’t understandwhy they are being kickedaround everyday.

South Africa Mass AnimalSterilization Trust, you mustnot prolong the agony of thosepoor animals and don’t ask thepublic to pay, make the ownerspay for the cost of euthanasia.

I am concerned about peoplelike the SA Mass SterilizationTrust that have the affront toask the public to pay for the stu-pidity of the dog owners inKhayelitsha. I am horrifiedabout what goes on in the coun-try.

It is run by irresponsible peo-ple so how can the people in thestreet be different?

Why don’t you ask AnimalRescue Organizations to adver-tise who relieve the suffering ofanimals? Call Jessica Perrimon (021) 396 5511. She’ll help youif she’s not too busy with herGolf Day for dogs in Mowbray.RALPH KRALLOranjezicht

feel I can go out and do things. I feelI can go bungee jump if I want to.

“I like the company. I see a lot ofplaces that I haven’t thought of. I goto different places. I meet peoplefrom different levels of life.

“I’ve made such a lot of acquaint-ances and friends. I have a lot of en-ergy. You feel healthier. It helps thefigure as well. For people that areoverweight, I can see a difference.You can see people’s shapeschange.”

Jattiem added that the speed ofher progress in the club has helpedto increase her passion for the sportand for Itheko.

“I like the fact that I can go fromrunning a 5km to a 10km, to run-ning a half marathon. I’m a normalperson and I can do this.

“I never thought I could run30km. My next mission is a full mar-athon,” she says.

Itheko has helped people withmore serious health issues to takecontrol of their lives and health.

Rondebosch resident FaldieRyklief is an Itheko member whohas experienced, first hand, the pos-itive effect that running and a cor-rect diet can have.

The 49-year-old has been diabeticfor half of his life, and has not takenpart in sport sincehewasdiagnosed25 years ago,

“You kind of think by the age of

50 it’s going to be downhill. I havenever felt as healthy as I do now,”says Ryklief.

“It’s very difficult to control yourdiet as a diabetic. But what runninghas done for me is to make me thinkall the time about my health.”

Ryklief added that since he start-ed running with Itheko in Decem-ber 2010, his health problems havegradually improved.

“Since I started running, I am sofit. I am healthy and I’m feelinggood. I use less than half of the insu-lin I used to before I started run-ning. I’m off the cholesterol medica-tion as well.”

School teacher Amorett True-body (56) has also seen a drasticchange in his health since joiningthe club.

Truebody started with Itheko justtwo months before Ryklief, and nolonger suffers from high blood pres-sure.

“I was put on medication, but thefew times I have been to the doctorthis year he’s been quite impressed.There are no problems whatsoeverwith blood pressure.

Truebody has since become ateam leader at the club and saysthat helping others to live healthierlives has become just as importantas his own physical health.

“What I actually enjoy more thanthe physical activity is giving back

to the community. It’s an attemptfrom my side to play my part in cre-ating health awareness and assist-ing people who have never run be-fore.”

All of the club’s members say thatrunninghasbecome their preferredmethod of destressing after a hardday’s work.

Itheko Sport Athletic Club willhold their second race, the JiveSlave Route Challenge on Sunday27 May.

Anyone interested in entering

the race or looking for more infor-mation can visit www.itheko.org orcall 021 762 8934.

Participants canenter at theCapeTown City Hall this weekend from16:00 to 20:00 on Friday, from 10:00to 17:00 on Saturday and a limitedamount of entrants will be acceptedon race day from 05:30.

The half marathon will start at07:00, the 10km run will start at07:15, the 5km run will start at 08:30and the 10km big walk will start at08:30.

LIAM MOSES

WITH less than a week to go be-fore the annual Jive Slave RouteChallenge, members of the Lionof Africa/Itheko Sport AthleticClub are hard at work ensuringthat the event is a success.

For the second year running, Peo-ple’s Post is the print media sponsorof the race.

In the four short years since itsformation, Lion of Africa/IthekoSport Athletic Club has grown intoone of the largest running clubs inCape Town, founded its own uniqueroad race, and, perhapsmost impor-tantly, changed several lives.

The club was started as a resultof founder Farouk Meyer’s commu-nity spirit and passion for helpingothers to become healthy.

Shahida Jattiem (47) is one of themany people who have been helpedby Meyer’s vision and the club’scommitment to welcome newcom-ers into the sport of running.

This Rondebosch East residentwas completely new to runningwhen she joined in March last year,but the positive changes she hasseen in her life and the enjoymentshe derives from the club haveturned her into a dedicated athlete.

“It has made me stronger physi-cally. It has made me confident. I

Town’s roads most weekends.The first event is Street2Strip,which, as the name suggests, is ex-actly the same as illegal drag racingexcept that it takes place under thesupervision of the WPMC, at a pur-pose-built venue.These events have been running forfour years now, and, according toSimon, more than 4 500 differentdrivers have taken part during thattime.Motorsport South Africa (MSA)Drag Racing takes a similar format,but is designed for racers whowould like to take the sport more se-riously.All the races are timed, winners re-ceive prize money and a racing li-cence is required to participate.Street Car Track Days, the thirdtype of event for street cars at Kil-larney, sees racers take on the fulllength of the track.On these days, anything from a 20-year-old Golf to a brand-new Ferra-ri can be seen hurtling around theKillarney circuit at high speed.Simon says that these events pro-vide street racers with the opportu-nity to compete in a safe and regu-lated environment.“Killarney’s drag strip is separatedfromthe crowdbyawall and fences.You don’t have to worry about afamily trying to cross in front you,coming home from supper,” says Si-mon. “Also, in the event that some-thing does go wrong, an ambulanceis always on standby. It’s also morecontrolled, so the bad elementshave to control themselves. On the

streets they drink and smoke drugsand do all sorts of funny things.”Marlize Hoon, from Sybrand Park,took part in her first Street2Stripevent in 2009 and since then she hasprogressed into a champion dragracer.The 26-year-old currently competesin the MSA Drags and has alreadywon several trophies. Hoon saysshe has never taken part in illegaldrags, but never misses a racingevent at Killarney.“It’s the adrenaline I guess. You canimagine, being a girl gives me a dif-ferent amount of attention from anyother guy. I can’t get tired of the fac-es of the guys when they see a girldriving a turbo car,” says Hoon.“The first time I raced was towardsthe end of 2009 and they have eventsabout twice a month. If my carwasn’t broken, I was there.”Simon added that despite the highlevel of regulation and safety, rac-ing at Killarney could be just asadrenaline-charged and exciting asstreet racing.“I would be able to push it harderon the circuit than on the road. Itcan be just as exhilarating, if notmore so,” says Simon.“I think here you can measurewhereas on the street you can’t. Ifyou’re on the street there is nomeasurement to see how you areimproving or by how much you areimproving.”The next Street2Strip event at Kil-larney will take place on Saturday.For any further information pleasecall the WPMC on 021 557 1639.

FEW people can deny that streetracing has developed into a subcul-ture that is celebrated in moviesand music from Hong Kong to Hol-lywood.Street racers seem to have theirown language and their own cus-toms and they associate mostlywith other street racers.Films such as The Fast and the Furi-ous have only helped to grow inter-est in street racing around theworld, and most Capetonians wouldknow that this pass time is just aspopular locally as anywhere else.Paul Simon, events manager at theWestern Province Motor Club (WP-MC) and the organisation’s home-based Killarney race track, believesthat the appeal of street racing isabout far more than simple delin-quency.“When you’re young and under-aged, you aren’t really free, butwhen you get your licence it givesyou some freedom,” says Simon.“I suppose that’s why the guys tryto express themselves by challeng-ing each other. Obviously it’s anadrenaline rush, I think all motor-sports provide an adrenaline rush,and that’s why the guys race eachother on the street. But they can besmarter than that and race on thestrip.”Simon is in charge of running threedifferent types of racing events atKillarney for street cars, two ofwhich are very similar to the illegaldrags which take place on Cape

A BRUTAL run of games forSchotschekloof Walmers came to an end

on Saturday when they squandered afirst-half lead and succumbed toHamiltons in Green Point.

SKW was considered the underdogs, buttheir chances of victory were severelylessened by an exhausting match schedulethat saw them play and lose to both UCT andStellenbosch University in a five day period.

The two university rivals are rightfullyconsidered to be serious contenders for theSuper League A title this season, along withDurbel Rugby Club. Facing both teams insuch a short time – the last game just two daysbefore the Hamiltons match – sent the SKWplayers into the weekend gasping for breath.

Zain Daniels, head coach at SKW, says histeam had been concerned about this toughperiod since the fixtures were released at thestart of the season.

“As soon we got the fixtures and saw thispast eight days, what we were up against, weworked towards that, trying to paceourselves.

“But obviously it was hard to managebecause of the resources that we have. It wasalways going to be difficult,” Daniels says.

SKW lost 36-28 to UCT at the Green Mile onSaturday 12 May and were defeated 45-23 byStellenbosch four days later, on Wednesday16 May.

But despite this tiring run of fixtures,Schotschekloof started the game brightly andraced to a deserved 8-0 lead after 20 minutes,courtesy of a penalty and unconverted try.

Hamiltons were unable to breach thestaunch defence of the visitors and had towait until the final minute of the first half toscore, when a penalty from Dustin Jinka sentthem into the break trailing 8-3.

Unfortunately, the half-time break was notenough for SK to recover from their first-halfheroics and Hamiltons went on to score fourtries in the first 30 minutes of the secondperiod.

The visitors responded with two tries oftheir own in the 35th and 40th minutesrespectively, but the late fight-back was notenough to secure victory and the gamefinished 27-22. Daniels believes that histeam’s second-half collapse was inevitable.

“We looked very tired in the second half.

We were worried that we wouldn’t last thegame, actually.

“We were worried about the legs. Whetherwe were going to last. It was our mainconcern. Never mind us coming here andhaving a chance of winning.

“Motivation will take you as far as 40minutes, and from there onwards, you couldsee in the first five minutes of the second halfwe were just standing and watching themplay.”

The narrow margin of victory and lateretaliation will have had SKW flyhalf ShafiekJudaar rueing his errors, as the eight pointshe squandered at the kicking tee in the firsthalf would have ensured victory for his team.

Fortunately for SKW, they have a two weekbreak before facing fellow strugglers Belharon Saturday 2 June. Daniels believes that histeam could be in for another bruisingencounter, as Belhar will be equallydesperate to claim victory.
