Photo: Denzil Maregele ‘This is our land’ STEFNI HERBERT PROTEA Village land claimants have reason to celebrate. The legal process to reclaim the land is now over, residents heard at a meeting on Thursday. Protea Village Communal Prop- erty Association chairperson Ce- dric van Dieman says this is “really good news for us because now we are able to move forward with de- veloping the land we claimed”. The association, which claimed only vacant land, were granted what they asked for. Attorney William Booth initially legally opposed the association’s claims on some land which resi- dents use to walk their dogs and as a play area for children. The Good Shepherd Anglican Church is on the land, which is on the corners of Rhodes and Kirsten- bosch drives. Claimants believed a final at- tempt by Booth through the courts would create another hurdle for them being granted the land from which they were evicted. But Ward 62 councillor Elizabeth Brunette confirmed the legal battle was over. Brunette says this is the first time she is involved with the land claim- ants as the councillor for the ward. “I am deeply honoured and hum- bled at the opportunity to be a part of this process,” says Brunette. She listened as many former resi- dents shared stories of their life in Protea Village. After hearing of how one of the claimants used the E6 bus, she said with a quiver in her voice: “We, in all probability, took the bus togeth- er.” Many claimants spoke about liv- ing in the area, with their relatives working at the Kirstenbosch Botan- ical Gardens. Some recalled how their parents wanted very much to return to Pro- tea Village, but many have since died as the process of claiming back their land took too long. Cecil McLean, one of the claim- ants, told how he found out his fami- ly was being moved to Manenberg. McLean says: “I stayed in Protea Village for 26 years and I have been away for 46 years. I was at work in Cape Town when my manager told me I have to go home.” McLean did not go home because he felt he needed to work the re- quired hours. When the day ended, he went home to find his family along with others had been to relo- cated to Manenberg. “I did not know where Manen- berg was. Friends in the area who were with me – who did not know what had taken place – decided we would have to wait until daytime to go and find our families,” says McLean. McLean and his friends saw a van loading furniture. After discover- ing the van was headed to Manen- berg, McLean and his friends jumped onto the vehicle. “We arrived in Manenberg and we had to find our families, which we did relatively quickly. After this happened to my family, many of the generation before me died with bit- ter hearts, because the people who did them wrong never apologised,” says McLean. The nostalgia continued when other claimants spoke about how some of the elderly people, who re- cently passed away, were still pre- pared to move back to Protea Vil- lage if the opportunity availed itself in time, but unfortunately did not make it. Representatives from the Bishop- scourt and Fernwood Residents’ As- sociation listened attentively as claimants regaled with memories. Van Dieman says: “We want peace and happiness. We want to come back to the place where we grew up and have fellowship with the people who are here already. “We think that some people may fear their property value will drop if we move into the area. We do not want that. We want to build decent houses; houses which can match the value of the houses which are already there.” Along with the houses, the associ- ation would like to have a retire- ment centre for which they will need financial backing. They would also like to establish a museum which shows the rich history of the area. Michael Worsnip, chief director for Restitution Support at the Re- gional Land Claims Commission, says he has not received official no- tice about the case. He is, however, aware the dead- line for papers to be delivered by the opposing party in the appeal has lapsed. “The Commission has always be- lieved that the legal process of ap- peal created an unnecessary delay in the claim finalisation,” says Worsnip. “We would rejoice with the claimants of Protea Village, if the way is now clear for them to ful- ly benefit from the land they were deprived of and for which they have waited for so very long to get back.” He says some “pre-settlement steps” have to be taken and a recom- mendation would go to the minister (of Rural Development and Land Reform, Gugile Nkwinti), which would have the court order at- tached. Attempts by People’s Post to reach Booth for comment have been unsuccessful.

    PROTEA Village land claimantshave reason to celebrate.

    The legal process to reclaim theland is now over, residents heard ata meeting on Thursday.

    Protea Village Communal Prop-erty Association chairperson Ce-dric van Dieman says this is reallygood news for us because now weare able to move forward with de-veloping the land we claimed.

    The association, which claimedonly vacant land, were grantedwhat they asked for.

    Attorney William Booth initiallylegally opposed the associationsclaims on some land which resi-dents use to walk their dogs and asa play area for children.

    The Good Shepherd AnglicanChurch is on the land, which is onthe corners of Rhodes and Kirsten-bosch drives.

    Claimants believed a final at-tempt by Booth through the courtswould create another hurdle forthem being granted the land fromwhich they were evicted.

    But Ward 62 councillor ElizabethBrunette confirmed the legal battlewas over.

    Brunette says this is the first timeshe is involved with the land claim-ants as the councillor for the ward.

    I am deeply honoured and hum-bled at the opportunity to be a partof this process, says Brunette.

    She listened as many former resi-dents shared stories of their life inProtea Village.

    After hearing of how one of theclaimants used the E6 bus, she saidwith a quiver in her voice: We, inall probability, took the bus togeth-er.

    Many claimants spoke about liv-ing in the area, with their relativesworking at the Kirstenbosch Botan-ical Gardens.

    Some recalled how their parentswanted very much to return to Pro-tea Village, but many have sincedied as the process of claiming backtheir land took too long.

    Cecil McLean, one of the claim-ants, toldhowhe foundouthis fami-ly was being moved to Manenberg.

    McLean says: I stayed in ProteaVillage for 26 years and I have beenaway for 46 years. I was at work inCape Town when my manager toldme I have to go home.

    McLean did not go home becausehe felt he needed to work the re-quired hours. When the day ended,he went home to find his familyalong with others had been to relo-cated to Manenberg.

    I did not know where Manen-berg was. Friends in the area whowere with me who did not knowwhat had taken place decided wewould have to wait until daytime togo and find our families, saysMcLean.

    McLean and his friends saw a vanloading furniture. After discover-

    ing the van was headed to Manen-berg, McLean and his friendsjumped onto the vehicle.

    We arrived in Manenberg andwe had to find our families, whichwe did relatively quickly. After thishappened to my family, many of thegeneration before me died with bit-ter hearts, because the people whodid them wrong never apologised,says McLean.

    The nostalgia continued whenother claimants spoke about howsome of the elderly people, who re-cently passed away, were still pre-pared to move back to Protea Vil-lage if the opportunity availed itselfin time, but unfortunately did notmake it.

    Representatives from the Bishop-scourt andFernwoodResidentsAs-sociation listened attentively asclaimants regaled with memories.

    Van Dieman says: We wantpeace and happiness. We want to

    come back to the place where wegrew up and have fellowship withthe people who are here already.

    We think that some people mayfear their property value will dropif we move into the area. We do notwant that. We want to build decenthouses; houses which can matchthe value of the houses which arealready there.

    Along with the houses, the associ-ation would like to have a retire-ment centre for which they willneed financial backing.

    They would also like to establisha museum which shows the richhistory of the area.

    Michael Worsnip, chief directorfor Restitution Support at the Re-gional Land Claims Commission,says he has not received official no-tice about the case.

    He is, however, aware the dead-line forpapers tobedeliveredby theopposing party in the appeal has

    lapsed.The Commission has always be-

    lieved that the legal process of ap-peal created an unnecessary delayin the claim finalisation, saysWorsnip. We would rejoice withthe claimants of Protea Village, ifthe way is now clear for them to ful-ly benefit from the land they weredeprived of and for which they havewaited for so very long to get back.

    He says some pre-settlementsteps have to be taken and a recom-mendation would go to the minister(of Rural Development and LandReform, Gugile Nkwinti), whichwould have the court order at-tached.

    Attempts by Peoples Post toreach Booth for comment have beenunsuccessful.

    The lowdown on flyingThe lowdown on flyingDear reader,

    Unlike most people, I amnot a fan of flying and havesuccessfully navigated mywayout of air travel, bothonthe business and personalfronts.

    During my lengthy ca-reer, Ive only risen to mychallenge of flying once; awork trip to Jozi more than10 years ago. Ive never beenas nervous.

    Last week I encounteredflight again and the trip to Johannesburgwas a dream; smooth, ending in a fairlybumpy landing. The sedative Id taken be-forehand helped me survive.

    The return journey was punctuatedwith turbulence most of the way. Somepassengershad theirhands in theirheads.Praying? Airsick?

    I made no secret of my fears and despitebeing ensconced in the middle seat, franti-cally leafed through my trusted prayerbook for all of the two-hour trip.

    Dinner and drinks did nothing to as-suage my rising panic and I couldnt waitfor the flight attendants to remove thebothersome little meal that made me feeleven more caved in.

    How can one eat while thousands ofmiles up in the air?

    Easily, if the gusto with which somepassengers tucked in is anything to go by.

    Airports are fascinating places, a smor-gasbord of worlds and cultures converg-ing for a fleeting moment and dispersingas swiftly. Theres the seasoned executivetraveller, the well-heeled, the evidentlybusiness class types, the adventurers, thefrequent flyers, the smart packers, thoseprepared for every eventuality...

    And if luggage is anything to go by; itpays to invest in quality suitcases.

    The best part about travel is meetingand engaging with new people, exchang-ing business cards and promising to con-nect across the continent.

    My fear of flying is some-what of a contradiction, asIve had two exciting heli-copter flips and am fearlesswhen it comes to roller-coasters and other extremecarnival rides. Perhaps thisreminder will serve me wellduring my next trip, onThursday; along with ahealthy supply of calmingpills.

    Closer to the ground, asthe South African WeatherService warns of cold and

    wet conditions throughout the country,please spare a thought for those less privi-leged. Support blanket drives and any ini-tiatives to bring relief to the poor who of-ten go to bed hungry; and the homelesswho are exposed to the elements night af-ter night.

    Every good deed counts, as AuntyGertie Hartog who called me yesterdaycan vouch for. This wonderful lady, fromParkwood, is a mother to five and grand-mother to 10, who still works part time tohelp support her family. She called our of-fices yesterday to express her praise forall those who give selflessly to others inneed, while actively campaigning to findwork for her unemployed daughter. I loveher initiative.

    And the cherry on the cake is thatAunty Gerties schedule clashes withmine, so while I am on deadlines Mon-days, this is her only day to chat to me asits the only day she has access to a tele-phone.Whether I like it ornot, and regard-less of my production demands, Ill haveto reshuffle my Monday to accommodateAunty Gerties schedule. Any time,Maam.

    Till next time, go well!ConnectED is a weekly column by

    COSMOPOLITAN: ProsperDube says he loves the cosmopolitan feel of the city.There are many peoplefrom different countriesand cultures and it justmakes the city so colourfuland unique.

    PRIVILEGED: Lizelle Frankensays she loves the braais andthe lingering smell it leaves inthe air. Besides the braais Ithink its great that we can pickand choose which beaches wewant to go to. Plus its all withindriving distance. Howmany people in other cities can say that?

    SURVIVAL: Elaine Andrewssays people always find away to survive in the city,nomatter the circumstances. The communicationbetween Capetonians isgreat. There is always away for people to surviveeven if they dont work.

    LAID BACK: Marelize Kleynsays she enjoys the citys relaxed atmosphere. Compared to other cities like Johannesburg we are more relaxed and I like it. We alsohave the advantage of beautiful views and lovely beaches.

    RESIDENTS in Plumstead have hadenough of the dirt along the railway line.

    After complaining to the City of CapeTown, they were told it is Metrorails respon-sibility and when they complained to Metro-rail, theywere told it is theCitys responsibil-ity.

    Clement Capes, who stays in close proximi-ty to the railway line, says: The City takescare of the cleanliness of the subway, butthey dont clean anywhere else. Whoever ismeant to maintain the area along the railwaylines need to take responsibility and do whattheyre supposed to.

    The residents have complained about thedirt and grass which barely gets cut.

    Elaine le Roux says: Rats breed in theseareas and it is a serious problem, especiallyfor people who have pets. Dogs and cats wontgo for the rats because theywill get bittenandprobably contract something.

    After the land was inspected by the City,Shehaam Sims, Mayoral Committee Memberfor Utility Services says: It is not the respon-sibility of the City to clean the area inside thefence, the refuse along the railway line inPlumstead is in fact the responsibility of therailway authorities.

    Metrorail Regional Manager MthuthuzeliSwartz says the responsibility is shared be-tween Metrorail and Prasa Corporate RealEstate Solutions (CRES).

    Littering remains a challenge because theillegal disposal of refuse and building rubblein rail reserves are reported regularly, saysSwart.

    Besides being a resident, Andre Mukebahas a business in the area and says the refusedoes his business a lot of harm.

    I am in the business of cleaning apart-ment blocks and people pay a decent amountof money to have their homes cleaned, but as

    soon as they step out of their doors, it isfilthy. Its not right, says Mukeba.

    Residents say that people regularly smokeat the subway and if anything flammable hasbeen dumped or the grass has dried out insummer, it could ignite and spread rapidlywhen someone tosses a cigarette over thefence.

    Capes says: People often use the area todefecate and it smells terrible for those wholive across the road and for those who use thesubway. It does not portray a good image ofthe area at all.

    Swartz says it appears that short-cuts aretaken during these economically tight times,but seeing that dumping is a municipal of-fence, the City has shown they are willing toassist.

    In terms of bylaws and environmental leg-islation, perpetrators can be identified andcharged. Between Metrorail and the munici-pal authorities, attempts are being made tochange the behaviour of the public perpetrat-ing these acts. Awareness, law enforcement,prosecution and the erecting of more sub-stantial fencing are also being looked at,says Swartz.

    The cleaning of rail reserves puts Prasaand Metrorail back by R800 000 per yearalong with the R12 million for station clean-ing.

    Swartz is appealing to communities to as-sist with the identification of perpetratorsand laying the necessary charges or report-ing the crime to the Metrorail protectionservices department.

    Swartz implored the public not to litter, al-leviating the need to spend such largeamounts of money unnecessarily.

    We are in the process of aligning resourc-es and responsibilities to promote internalefficiencies and economies of scale. The cur-rent procurement process takes account ofthis intention and we hope to appoint serviceproviders soon.

    What to do in winterWhat to do in winterJOHN RAYNER

    WITH the onset of winter, we haveentered a wet and cold period.

    Yes, I agree, winter with its dampconditions is not exactly the best timeto take a camera out, but if you houkop, youll be pleasantly surprised atwhat you can capture.

    Raincoats for cameras are availablefrom most camera shops. If you are atightwad like me, youll make yourown. I have seen the odd supermarketplastic bag adorning a camera notthe best, but better than nothing; if it

    is attached securely (elastic bands) itshould work fine. In our Cape north-westers a brollie of course will merelybe turned inside out, but on a forestwalk will at least keep the water dropsfrom the trees off you and your expen-sive gear.

    With winter comes flowing riversand waterfalls ideal subjects for anouting. Mushrooms too make their ap-pearance. They can be elusive sub-jects and some of them only flourishin dark, dank corners of the forest, butwith a tripod, the long exposures need-ed to capture them wont present aproblem.

    Leaf-clogged drains, flowing guttersand stark skeletal trees against theskyline all make for great wintryscenes. Walking the Sea Point prome-nade in a raging gale as the sea iswhipped into a frenzy and wavescrash over the sea wall, sea spray willbe your cameras nemesis. I carry adamp cloth as well as a dry one andgive the camera a wipe down every sooften.

    You will have noticed somethingmissing from many of your winterscenes sun, and the accompanyingdark shadows. The cloud cover be-comes a huge diffuser, softening shad-

    ows.The ability, when walking in a for-

    est in winter, for your camera to pickup details unhindered by contrasts ofbright sunbeams and dark shadows isnow apparent. Great depth is now pos-sible in your photographs and thingsare made so much easier for your cam-eras computer to assess correct expo-sure.

    For those lowering skies over theCape Flats, underexpose your shot alittle to add atmosphere (pun) to yourimage, as will an approaching squallover the sea be made all the morethreatening.

    WHAT A WAVE: The nice bit of isolated colour of the lighthouse may swing your choice.Photos: John Rayner

    SPLISH SPLASH: Many of these waves breaching the wall were more than just spray I hadto run back about 20m from the approaching wall of water.

    Schools out?THE Western Cape Education Departmenthas put 27 schools on notice of imminent clo-sure.

    The reasons for the threat of closure arepoor academic performance, a dwindling pu-pil numbers and a high drop-out rate.

    Some of the schools have received notifica-tion that they have to improve their pass rate.Failing this, a decision will be made in Sep-tember to close the schools by the end of thisyear.

    Principals at some of the schools have saidthe failure rate is as a result of pupils beingtaught in second and third languages. Manyof the pupils speak isiXhosa, while their lan-guage of instruction is English.

    One way to address this problem, and tohalt schools closing, is for the education de-partment to introduce isiXhosa as a languageof instruction to schools with a predominantXhosa pupil base.This suggestion, say princi-pals, has fallen on deaf ears.

    Education is key to establishing South Afri-cas success as a global player in all spheres,including the financial and academic sectors.

    Questions remain over whether outcome-based education does have merit. How willclosing schools benefit pupils who may al-ready be hamstrung by receiving their in-struction in a second language?

    The departments refusal to officially re-lease the names of these schools was so as notto pre-empt the outcome of any decision.

    Parents of children at the 27 schools havea right to question where to from here. Shouldthese schools close, alternative arrangementshave to be made for pupils using public trans-port.

    A country that is seeing many of our quali-ty teachers outsourcing their skills to foreigncountries may see a greater siphoning of thisresource.

    Meanwhile, the 4 000 pupils and about150 teachers who will be affected by schoolclosures will have to be absorbed elsewhere.

    Others need generosity moreTHE generous offer of $2bn tothe IMFbyPresident JacobZu-ma may be a good thing for thefuture of South Africa, but thatis no guarantee, is it?

    Who is benefiting from hisgenerousgesture?Not thepoorin South Africa. Not the mil-lions who are homeless.

    Not the people that share toi-

    lets with a hundred other peo-ple.

    Not the threat of having toclose 27 schools.

    Not the people who havebeen denied free hot soup be-cause the soup kitchens had toclose because of a lack of fund-ing.

    No, it only benefits the over-

    sized ego of Mr Zuma who des-perately wants to be one of theworlds big boys!

    I dont blame him, but whatis more important, the Eurodebt or the homeless, poorhungry souls of South Africa?I am very worried about thesanity of the presidency.RALPH KRALL

    Cops go beyond the call of dutyWHILE restoring a housewhich had been vandalised inTouws River for four weeks, Iencountered a police stationfull of pride and assistance.

    Nothing was a problem andstaff fell over each other to at-tend to my requests. On phon-ing the station to query a prob-lem thrice, the phone neverrang more than twice before itwas answered.

    One night I had trespasserson the property with hoodietops and looking into the win-dows.

    I called the police stationfrom my cellphone and ex-plained the problem. The callwas answered before it rang. Igave the descriptions of thesuspects and before I had hung

    up there were 12 members ofthe force on the property.

    Nobody was found, but I sawthese trespassers again on theproperty next door. I againcalled the station and got thesame response. Arrests weremade within minutes in theimmediate area as three othervehicles patrolled the block.

    They remained visiblethroughout the night while amember remained on foot pa-trol in the road.

    My other remarkable en-counter with the station waswhen I could not contact theperson on the property while Iwas in Cape Town for the week-end. Here again they went be-yond the call of duty to honourmy requests and went to the

    property four times as nobodywas present. I asked them a fa-vour to secure the property un-til my arrival from Cape Town this they did and a memberwas present when I arrived.

    This totally blew me awaythat a police station will go be-yond the call of duty to assistin a manner that has neverbeen heard of.

    I praise the Touws River po-lice for their quick responseand dedication to their work inassisting the public. Excellentjob and great team work fromall at Touws Rivier police sta-tion.

    I praise you all for going thatextra mile.PETER GAWLERPlumstead

    Your SMSes. Regarding the PrincessVlei articles: I think a mallis a great idea. People areprotesting against it, but yetpeople go dump their rub-bish there and nobodycleans it up. If there was amall, it means more opportu-nities for people and employ-ment. So I dont see why itsa big deal.. Shopping mall at Prin-

    cess Vlei: can a websiteplease be provided where allof us in favour of the mallcan give our vote? Measur-ing up all the pros and conswill make the majority ofpeople actually in favour ofthe mall. The fact and realityis that Princess Vlei is in apermanent useless state be-cause of pollution and crime.The mall will improve theriverside imagine woodendecks where you can lunchwhile watching the bird life create jobs and retail. Thesuggestion from thoseagainst the mall to refurbishthe land and recreationalspace will not solve the prob-lem with pollution and safe-ty. The area will still be use-less. The entire actionagainst the mall is instigatedby local business owners for their own selfish, self-serving obvious reasons.And their poor supportersare completely unaware ofthis. Please provide a web-site where those for the mallcan vote.

    The high cost of medical careTONY ROBINSON

    EXCEPT for the Karoo dentistwho wanted to pull out all myteeth, my encounters with themedical profession have gen-erally been positive and suc-cessful, but I cant say thesame about the legions of ac-countants and their assistantswho have realised that thereis a good living to be made bytaking charge of the flow ofmoney between patients and doctors.

    These entrepreneurs are generally foundrunning the private hospitals, medical aidfunds and hospital plans. Unfortunately,

    their first loyalty is to their share-holders and not the patients, so themore things cost, the more moneyflows through their books and themore handsome the bonus at theend of the year.

    So in a world where the wholeeconomic system is based on thebelief that competition makesthings better and cheaper, we havean area where competition is effec-tively banned and the actuariesand accountants have restructured

    the industry to make things more expen-sive. It has been like putting the purchasingdepartment on commission!

    Having just spent four days in a generalward of a private hospital at R2 600 a day plus

    the rest (the account was more than R30 000),I fully expected to see the corridors patrolledby accountants with clipboards looking formore items to put on the bill. But no, thatwouldbea little too close to thebloodandgoreand the small risk that the money men mightstart thinking about patients instead ofshareholders. And we cant have that.

    It all got me thinking that we need a betterway to measure the performance of medicalservices. One of the traditional ways is thedoctor-patient ratio.

    In an advanced country like the UnitesStates there is roughly one doctor for every400 patients while in a poor African countryone doctor has to look after thousands. InSouth Africa the ratio is one doctor per 1 300patients, though it is a lot lower in the citieswhere life is more comfortable for the aver-age medical man or woman.

    In the TV drama House, the ratio seems tobe about five doctors to a patient though they

    do change patients each week.So a low ratio tells us that medical services

    are readily available but if the ratio is too lowthe risk of passing patients around for secondopinions or unnecessary operations does in-crease. Got to keep your colleagues in busi-ness!

    What would be a lot more useful would bea ratio of the number of accountants and theirlittle helpers in the field to the number of doc-tors. To be more precise, the total number ofnon-medical staff in hospitals, medical aidfunds and hospital plans compared to thenumber of doctors who do the real work.

    Wemight evengoas far as apie chartwhichshowshowmuchof every rand spent onmedi-cal bills actually goes to medical workers andhow much goes to the accountants, share-holders, sales staff, advertising agencies, pro-motion budgets and even TV commercials forone mercenary hospital group.

    It could be quite a shock!

    A dream in pinkA dream in pinkSTEFNI HERBERT

    REACH FOR A DREAM has turned a dayin the life of a sick child into a fairytale.

    Qaqamba Cuba (12) always wanted to go ona shopping spree, she wanted her own cellphone and she wanted to take a trip in the ca-ble car to the top of Table Mountain.

    Qaqamba suffers from restrictive lung dis-ease and congenital scoliosis.

    Reach for a Dream volunteer, Ibtesam Dav-ids says: The process of a dream is brokendown into three parts and we can choose todo one, two or three over a period of time ormerge them all.

    Blue Route Malls quantity surveyors,MLC, sponsored Qaqambas shopping spree,Rotaract sponsored her cell phone and the Ta-ble Mountain Cableway made the arrange-ments for her ride in the cable car.

    A very reserved young lady, Qaqambastrolled through the mall with family mem-ber and guardian Nothabile Cuba, sayingwhich shops she would like to visit.

    After visiting the first store, where shepicked up a pair of bright pink skinny jeans,she quickly moved on to the next where shebought quite a few more items of pink cloth-ing.

    Nothabile and Qaqamba were taken abackafter Rotoract member Lexi Morris handedher a pink gift bag containing a cell phone.

    Nothabile says: I am so grateful. Qaqambaloves playing games on the cell phone, when-ever she is with me she plays with my phone.

    Qaqamba loves games, whether they beboard games or digital games.

    I love playing memory games, snakes andladders, but my favourite is 30 Seconds, saysQaqamba.

    Her favourite colour is pink and Nothabile

    says she may be ill, but she is a remarkablybright child who always gets good results inschool.

    Nothabile and Qaqamba are from the East-ern Cape, but Nothabile has been staying inKhayelitsha for over 27 years and Qaqambastays at the St Josephs home in Montanawhere she still receives treatment from timeto time.

    After a few hours of shopping, Spur spon-sored Qaqamba, Nothabile and the team withlunch.

    With lunch and dessert completed, the

    team left the mall to take Qaqamba to TableMountain.

    They kept her in the dark up to the lastminute as to their destination. When sheheard where they were going she becamevery excited and inquisitive.

    Davids says: She enjoyed the ride and han-dled it very well. Shes heard of some of herfriends going up the cable car, so she was real-ly excited to experience this for herself.

    Once they reached the top, they walkedaround and got a 360 degree view of CapeTown.

    The Rotaract team then presented Qaqam-ba with a pink cover for her cell phone.

    After this joyous day, Qaqamba says: Icannot wait to go back home, tell my friendsabout my day and show them everything Igot. Im also going to the Eastern Cape for theschool holidays and I will show my otherfriends and family there what I got.

    I am very thankful to everyone who mademy dream possible.
