This is according to Brian Lang, of Wyn- berg Police’s Victim Empowerment Pro- gramme. He adds: “When people are threatened with a firearm, they go into shock and can’t reason things out. The brain becomes scattered and they are affected mentally, physically and emotionally. A counsellor’s task is to help them to connect all the pieces again, step-by- step and convince them that what they are ex- periencing is normal in an abnormal situa- tion.” Counsellors offer victims two sessions fol- lowed by a phone call to check how they are coping after a violent encounter. In cases of severe trauma, which needs more care, vic- tims are referred to a psychologist or other professional help. Wynberg has a small, dedicated team of counsellors who are on call 24/7 to assist when multiple victims are involved in large armed robberies, car crashes and other vio- lent situations. Sometimes counsellors are called in from other police stations to assist. They also counsel victims of domestic abuse, which, says Lang, has increased with the downturn in the economy. “Many people do not know their rights, which agencies to access or how to get main- tenance, so we provide general information as well. Not only young wives and husbands report violence in the home – we also get eld- erly people asking for help after a lifetime of domestic abuse. We advise them to take out a protection order and the police serve it on the perpetrator. If he or she violates that or- der, they be can arrested immediately,” says Lang. Counsellors also deal with missing people and children, but are only allowed speak to minors (under 17) with their parents’ or guardians’ consent.. The team was recently called in to counsel a group of employees that had been threat- ened with firearms and assaulted by armed robbers during a hold-up in the Wynberg business area. Lang says that as the crime escalates, the load increases on the trauma unit and he needs more volunteers. “It is important to attract people who have a passion for others. Volunteer counsellors have to adhere to a strict code of conduct; as people in distress can become dependent. A strictly professional approach is taken and no phone numbers or addresses are ex- changed.” Generally men counsel male victims and women relate better to each other: “Some counsellors are better with rape victims than others. But no two people are alike and every situation is different. Over the years, coun- sellors develop more skills with experience and it becomes easier to cope.” Lang explains that people who have been involved in a car accident or robbed, often vent pent up anger and frustration. He en- courages victims not to hold back their emo- tions, as this is the beginning of the healing process. “Everyone handles shock and trauma dif- ferently; some want to talk, others remain si- lent and keep it all bottled up inside.” He advises people not to make life-changing decisions when they are suffering from shock, and to wait until they have calmed down. “Often, the first reaction when people are hijacked or robbed is they want to leave the country. It is the fight or flight reaction.In traumatic situations thing seem unreal or abnormal.” Lang emphasised the need for victims to have a good support system at home, work or at religious institutions. Anyone who is interested in volunteering can apply at the police station. If they fit the necessary criteria and are accepted, an inter- view takes place and they are trained through a programme by the National Institute for Crime Prevention and the Rehabilitation of Offenders (Nicro). This is followed by sitting in on sessions with experienced counsellors. “It is difficult to find people of the right calibre,” says Lang. “Privacy is important, as there are very strict rules about respecting the victim’s con- fidentially. People need to feel safe.” The Victim Empowerment Programme is part of the National Crime Prevention Strate- gy which is in line with the United Nations Declaration of Peace and Safety Act. This has encouraged South African Police Services to provide trauma counselling facili- ties at all police stations in the country.

Spread the festive cheerDear reader,
Avisit to shoppingmalls willconfirm thatwe’re amere eightweeks away from Christmas.Visual evidence such as gift
wrap, gift ideas and stores fes-toonedwith festive decorationsentrench this.Some of our smart friends
have already bought presentsfor their loved ones, months inadvance, in some cases.They’re the people who work
well with their cash – emphasison cash.The alternative is credit which may not be
the best route, but a necessary evil at times.Despite our upbringing and the multitude
of lectures our parents gave us about the dan-gers of buying on credit, most of us have hadto go this route at some point.We can of course justify our actions when
it comes towhat is termed “good debt”, name-ly our homes and cars, which few can pay forin cash. In fact, raising the deposit on a houseor car is a tall enough order formost. A house
is an investment and we need acar for work – it’s as simple asthat, we reason.But, as we contemplate our
income and expenses betweennow and the festive season, itmight be a good time to sparea thought for those less fortu-nate.Various initiatives are al-
ready underway to ensure thatalmost everyone has a joyousholiday, with the guarantee ofa meal on Christmas Day andthe joy for children, especially,
of unwrapping a modest gift.Please support the efforts of the hundreds,
if not thousands, of people and organisationsworking tirelessly throughout our beautiful,world-class city to make this a truly joyousChristmas – a day fromwhich nobody shouldbe excluded.It doesn’t matter which faith we belong to
and whether or not we celebrate Christmas.Each of us has the capacity to care.Link up with a good cause and give as you
can; whether it’s volunteering your time at
the SPCA, offering to help out at a children’shome, buying a toy for a needy child, handingout a few loaves of bread in an informal settle-ment or making a contribution towards aChristmas meal for those who cannot affordit. Helping to cook the meal also goes a longwayand it is over the festive season that thereis a dire need for volunteers.It’s sad to see the amount of waste from an
average household – specifically food that isthrown away, and the mountain of cansstocked in people’s pantries. I’ve seen a hugebox, installed at an office for a very goodcause, remain empty for weeks. Not a singledonation of canned food has found its way in-to this box, despite apublic appeal for supportof this worthy cause.Yes, we should enjoy our hard-earnedmon-
ey, and the pleasure of doing that may wellbe enhanced by a charitable deed.’Til next time, go well!ConnectED is a weekly column by Peo-
ple’s Post editor Feroza Miller-Isaacs whocan be contacted at [email protected]’s Post in online. Visit www.peo-

Woman lauded for saving truckersJUANITA WILLIAMS
WHEN Carolynne Franklin rescued two truckdrivers from being attacked on Baden PowellDrive, she gave no thought to her own safety.
She was recently presented with a bravery awardfrom Suzanne Ackerman of Pick n Pay and a LeadSAcertificate from Africa Malani of Capetalk at a func-tion in Kenilworth.
During the recent national truck strike, Franklinwas driving from Kirstenhof to Stellenbosch alongBaden Powell Drive when she saw flames belchingout of a Pick n Pay truck parked on the roadside.
Three men were chasing two drivers – Elmaco Fa-bian and Boesak Booysen – down the beach road nearStrandfontein. Fabian and Booysen are employees ofLieben Logistics, Pick n Pay’s trucking company.
Franklin says: “The road was quite busy yet no-onestopped. I drove another 100 yards and thought ‘noway, I can’t just ignore this’ and reversed. The threemen were beating up Fabian and it was horrible towatch. I opened my car door and shouted at them,then I ran across the road dodging cars in my newplatform shoes. I was waving my cellphone, so itlooked like I was calling the police.”
Her scare tactics worked, and the attackers ranaway leaving a badly injured Fabian on the beach.She led the traumatised men to her car and lockedthe doors.
“Fabian was badly beaten up and collapsed on theback seat of my car. I tried to keep him calm and gavehim some juice, then called 10111.”
An anxious Franklin found it difficult to explainher location and still no-one stopped to help. “Thena woman and her son drove up and waited with meuntil the police arrived.”
She says she felt no fear – until the truck tyres ex-ploded and she saw the entire truck burn out in 30minutes.
“The good news is that the three thugs were caughta week later. They were arrested while driving a sto-len car in Bellville.”
Commenting on her bravery, Franklin says: “I justdid what I had to do. I was so angry at the injusticeof the incident and as a keen follower of LeadSA onCapetalk I felt I had to help. I hope this will be anexample to other women to empower themselves andmake a difference.”
Franklin, an interior decorator, lives in Kirsten-hof, and has two daughters Aimee 26 and Ella 12.There’s plenty of fire in her horoscope: “I am red-headed Sagittarian and a dragon in the Chinese horo-scope; these things just happen to me. I travel over2 800kms a month visiting clients, and I often seethings happening on the road.”
She recently saved an injured hadida. “It had beenrun over and I spotted it scrabbling to the side of theroad with an injured wing and leg, I picked it up anddrove it to the SPCA.”
FEARLESS: Carolynne Franklin with her daughters Aimee (26) and Ella (12).Photo: Supplied
For the recordIN the story “Where is Donielle” (People’sPost, 23 October) it was reported that themissing girl, Donielle Robyn was a pupilWynberg Girls’ High School.
This is in fact not the case. Rovyn wasnever a pupil of the school. The personreferred to as Robyn’s boyfriend, as perinformation received from Robyn’smother, is in fact not her boyfriend.
He would like it be known that allega-tions against him are untrue.

TWENTYweeks intoChar-maine Kay’s pregnancy ascan revealed an abnor-mality.
A specialist confirmed thebaby had a serious problem– possibly Down’s Syn-drome.When medics advised
Charmaine to terminate thepregnancy, her responsewas“a firm ‘no’”.“Termination was not an
option. I already had twochildren – Nicole 15 and Si-mone 10. And my attitudewas ‘no can do’. If the childhas a problem, it has to be. Ididn’t want a termination.”There was no conclusive
diagnosis of thebaby’s condi-tion and on 16 October 2006,Charmaine gave birth to a lovely daughtershe called Leah.Next year Leah, now six, will start school
in Grade E at Kenwyn Pre-Primary.Instead of Down’s Syndrome, Leah has
Achondroplasia (dwarfism), a stature dis-ease which affects the formation of thebones. The relatively rare condition affects1 in 40 000 births.Two days after Leah’s birth, Charmaine
started to research the condition, and sixmonths later she began a blog calledRaisingLeah wordpress.com – which has attracted70 000 hits from all over the world.“We have created a community of little
people and friends from the blog. When wehooked up with Facebook the blog went bigtime – and thousands of mothers and littlepeople joined. It has also attracted a fewadults and teenagers, and suddenly therewas no lack of information. I wanted to cre-ate awareness and educate people about thecondition,” says Charmaine, who trains nailtechnologists in Kenilworth.She says she will find it hard to let Leah
go to school as she tends to be veryprotectivetowards her. “But she is an independent lit-tle girl who prefers to do things for herselfand finds ways to cope. When she wants toturn off a light switch, she pulls up a chairand uses a wooden spoon to reach it. She isnot a shy child.”Leah is a normal, happy little girl.“In the beginning she had sleep apnoea,
which was a problem. She had her first at-tack at two weeks old, but has grown out ofthat now. She also tends to get ear infectionsand there are other challenges – like boneconditions and she will probably have kneeoperations later on, also her spine is show-ing signs of lordosis. Of course, the medicalexpenses are high, but the Red Cross Chil-dren’s Hospital has been wonderful.”Charmaine, who lives in Wynberg, has
written a booklet for other parents of chil-dren with Achondroplasia and has simpli-fied the medical jargon to help them under-stand the condition.Leah has taught her mother to look at the
world in a different way: “I used to find itembarrassing when people stared at Leah inshopping malls, but she gives them a bigsmile and says ‘Hello, my name is Leah’ andbreaks down all the barriers.”Leah loves fashion and bling. “She loves
fashion and hates it whenwe go to the baby’sdepartment for clothes. Shoes are the biggestproblem, as she needs orthopaedic-typeshoes to fit her broad feet, so we have blingthem up.”In the blog, Charmaine explains how her
80-year-old grandmother had gone on herknees to pray the day Leah was born. “It’sjust amazinghowmuch joy this little girl hasbrought into our lives. We are so lucky tohave our little girl grow up surrounded byso much love from family and friends nearand far.”

Renew car licence ahead of closureTASMIN CUPIDO
ANYONE wanting to renew their vehiclelicence or have a roadworthy test done,better hurry to the Retreat Motor Vehi-cle Registration office before Thursday.
Thiswarning comes after theCity of CapeTown was forced to shut the doors of its ve-hicle registration operation. The office, sit-uated in Keyser Road, Tokai, will perma-nently close on Thursday 1 November.According to deputy mayor and Mayoral
Committee Member for Finance, Ian Neil-
son, the decision to close the facility wasmade six months ago.“Weheard from the tenant thatwe shared
the premises with, namely the RetreatRoadworthy Test Centre, that the leasewould be expiring and would not be re-newed, as the landlord was selling the prop-erty,” Neilson says.The City’s lease expires tomorrow
(Wednesday 31 October).Neilson adds, after consultation with the
tenant, the City decided to search for “alter-nate, suitable, City-owned premises” towhich the facility would relocate. “Wewere
not successful in finding alternativepremises,” he says.“We will be looking at City-owned build-
ings which will be built in Retreat in thenear future as well as shopping malls intowhich we could possibly relocate.”Meanwhile, the City encourages motor-
ists to visit the Plumstead, Wynberg, FishHoek or Strandfontein facilities.Vehicle licences can also be renewed on-
line at www.capetown.gov.za/motorlicenc-ing.For any vehicle registration and licens-
ing queries call phone 0860 103 089.
Recycling depotstays put for nowIT COULD take three years before LadiesMile recycling site closes down, accordingto theConstantiaPropertyOwners’Associa-tion (CPOA).Previous rumours of the gates closing this
year have been squashed and a decommis-sioning environmental assessment isunder-way.A CPOA representative is part of the
working group overseeing the closure of thedepot and will take part in the planning foralternative sites.Two alternative sites have been proposed.
The road reserve land next to Klip RoadCemetery in Prince George Drive offers thesame facilities as the Ladies Mile depot. Al-though this land is earmarked for roadworks, this site is available for 10 to 15 yearsor until planning permission has been ap-proved.The old Council nursery in Steenberg
Drive, at thebase ofOuKaapseWeg, has alsobeen suggested, but access is a problem, ac-cording to transport planners. The CPOAhas requested a traffic impact assessment toinvestigate other access points.*CouncillorsPennyEast (Ward 73) andLiz
Brunette (Ward 62) are holding a meeting todiscuss how to recycle, reduce and reusehousehold and garden waste today from18:00 to 19:00 at the Alphen Hall in Constan-tia.
Fake tiler fools teenA CONWOMAN has tricked her way into aClaremont homewith a story she ismeasur-ing up for tiles.Thewoman gained access to aDerbyRoad
property when she buzzed the intercom andpersuaded a boy (13) to open the door as hismother had asked her to call.On hearing his mother’s name, the child
presumed the woman was a friend and al-lowed her into the home.Once inside she paced out the floor and
wrote the dimensions on a pad with hername and a false cellphone number.The boy showed her around the house and
left her alone in the bedroom, where shestole a pair of silver filigree earrings.The woman brazenly decided to wait for
the mother, but left after about 15 minutes.The boy’s mother suspects she pressed all
the intercoms at the Harfield Village com-plex.She is now concerned for the safety of the
many elderly retired people who live in thecomplex and other young children whocould open the door to unknown visitors.The suspect has been described as a wom-
an between 20-30 years, neatly dressed, withshort curly hair and a gold tooth.The police urges residents not to allow an-
yone access to their propertywithout verify-ing their details and to tell their children tobe careful.People are advised to be careful of get rich
schemes or deals which offer something forfree. Anyone who feels threatened shouldcontact the nearest police station.

Keep pets safe on Guy Fawkes dayTHE Cape of Good Hope (CoGH) SPCA iscalling on Capetonians to consider theterrifying effects fireworks can have onanimals ahead of Guy Fawkes and Diwa-li.The SPCA advises residents living in
areaswhere fireworkswill be dischargedto:
. Ensure all animals have identifica-tion such as a micro-chip or a dog tag;
. Stay at home with your pets;
. Keep your pets inside and in a roomthat is safe and secure;
. Try and mask any noise by drawingthe curtains and playing calming music;
. Put familiar and comforting thingsaround the pet;
. Give your pets a nutritious and bal-ancedmeal at night as it is likely tomakethem more sleepy;
. Give them something to chew on – achewy bone or catnip toys for cats;
. If you suspect your petwill react bad-ly to fireworks, then seekprofessional ad-vice from your veterinarian who mayprescribe a sedative to help them cope.

Better strapped in than sorrySAFETY is always one of the biggest aspects whenbuying a car.
Questions are always asked about how many airbags there are or how the braking system differs fromthe previous model. But the main safety feature in acar is seat belts, says ER24 spokesperson DerrickBanks.“How often do we drive to work or home without our
seat belts on because ‘it is just around the corner andnothing could happen to me’ or ‘I won’t be in an accident because I’m a good driver’?”Some of the excuses paramedics have heard, he
says, are fears that the seat belt will keep people
trapped in the car in case of an accident. Others saythe seat belts are uncomfortable or people feel theydon’t need a seat belt because the car has airbags.Banks cautions: “Then you or your children are in
volved in an accident and have sustained serious orfatal injuries. We take it for granted that nothing couldhappen to us. Most fatalities in accidents are becausethe occupants of the car were ejected or thrownaround inside the car as the car rolled or collided withanother vehicle.”He says each day ER24 paramedics see accidents
and how children and adults alike are injured. “Whenit comes to children, parents ask ‘how did this happen’and ‘why is my child dead’? Where do parents draw
the line in safety for our children? Especially when ourchildren are travelling withother road users and the vehicle they are using is overloaded already.”Banks says paramedics
have seen a Toyota Tazz witheight school children in thecar. “That was not the firsttime it has been seen doneand the same driver has beenpulled over and warned bynecessary authorities of actions.”Children are extremely vul
nerable in collisions. To keepthem safe, Banks gives thefollowing advice:. Children should be seat
ed in the car and in a car seatif possible.. Never travel with your
child on your lap.. Never share a seat belt
with your child.. Your child or any child has
no say or choice not to weara seat belt. It is the responsibility and legal obligation ofthe driver to make sure theywear it.It just a takes a few sec
onds to buckle up to help savea life.

statistical development inSouthAfrica and to enable learners to understand that statistics is part of everyday life, UWC, theWestern Cape Education Department (WCED) andStatsSA came together to create aprogramme aimed at producing aspecialised body of educatorswho areboth enthusiastic and wellinformedabout mathematics and statistics.Speaking at the certification cere

are very low every year,” said Bali.“Part of the reason for that is thereis always new educational contentthat the teachers were not previouslyexposed to, and when this contentgets to the classrooms the teachersgrapple to deal with it, and this impacts the quality of the lessons.”

Ever wanted to be a Forensic Scientist? A Dentist? A Pharmacist?A Psychologist? A Chartered Accountant? Or even a High Court Judge?
However you see your future, if you ve got ambition,ability and drive UWC is the place to be!
IFYOUare a school leaver or justlooking for a great career, it’sdefinitely worth your while to
consider the great opportunitiesthat just keep coming out of the Information Technology industry.
While virtually every other type ofemployment takes a hit in thesetense economic times, demand forthose skilled in network engineering, programming andweb development remain strong across all skilllevels.
What do IT professionals do?Network engineers are responsi
ble for maintaining internet and office networks,making sure computers and their users can always keepin touch with each other.Technicians, such as those who
have obtained A+ certification status, are responsible for ensuringthat thephysical guts of the information
age – the computers themselves – arerunning in tiptop shape.Programmers and web developers
write the software which runs onthese computers and networks.They create the programmes or
the sets of instructions that computers read and carry out.
What’s so great about being an ITprofessional?Studies showthat ITworkershave
more job security, more choiceswhen deciding who to work for andmakemoremoney, faster, thanmostother kinds of occupations.Thegreat thingabout IT is that it’s
always changing and evolving,bringing more opportunities fornewcomers to get their foot in thedoor.If there is any field where a hard
working young person canprogress rapidly and quickly reachthe top of their game, with all the rewards that go with it, it must be IT.You could be a professional in the
workforce, earning serious moneyin as little as six months.
How do I become an IT professional?The easiest and most reliable way
toget into IT is to get an internationallyrecognised IT qualification like
those offered by Microsoft’s MCP,CompTIA, Oracle and ECCouncil.IT jobs are demanding and need
people who know their stuff.That’s why internationallyrecog
nised certification is such a goodidea, because if you pass your testsand get certified, you know you’reready to take on any challenge thatcomes your way, guaranteed!All the major IT companies in the
world offer certification in theirproducts and “platforms”, to makesure there is always a supply ofqualified professionals who knowhow to operate them like true experts.Employers know they can rely on
certified staff to deliver, so it’s notsurprising that over 70% of themsay they won’t hire uncertified staffif they have the choice.
Can I work overseas with my ITcertification?It’s not called “internationalrec
ognised” for nothing because thesequalifications are accepted all overthe world.If you are a certified professional
doors open for you from America toDubai and Europe.And if things are still sweet for IT
workers in SA, they are even betterabroad.IT recruitment is up 11% in the
United States where a 2009 Computerworldmagazine survey identified web developers, network administrators and information security managers as jobs that receivedhigherthanaverage pay hikes.In Europe a survey of 300 compa
ny managers showed that twothirds of themwere planning to hireadditional IT staff in the comingyear, with a third reporting: “ITworkers are getting harder to find.”
Who offers the best and cheapestIT training in SA?IT Business Campus (ITBC) has
over a decade of experience when itcomes to supplying certified professionals to bluechip corporate clients and has managed to leverageit’s influence to provide a costeffective route to getting certified.This includes the traditionally
costly ProMetric testing which isavailable at all ITBC campuses.
ITBC offers hundreds of certification options from every availablecompany and is the cheapest youwill find anywhere – guaranteed.The ITBC advantage lies in it’s ad
vanced selfstudy format backed byexpert online instructors and advanced multimedia controls thatreplicate the classroom experiencewherever you can plug in a computer and log into the internet.Access to the ITBC hub and
courseware provides everything astudent needs to achieve internationally recognised IT certification,including labs, exercises and practice exams.It’s never been easier to make the
leap into a growing industry and receive world class training.
Sounds great, how do I find outmore?ITBCwill hold open days fromNo
vember and offers discounts of up to50% for those who book courses online. To learn more about ITBC, takean aptitude test or discuss your certification options and career pathwith our expert advisors.Contact them on (021) 671 3104,

Cheap justice?IN ONE case the wheels of justice have cometo a halt. President Jacob Zuma has with-drawn his lawsuit against cartoonist Jonath-an “Zapiro” Shapiro.The Zapiro cartoon, published by a Sunday
newspaper in September 2008, depicts thepresident with a shower on his head and hispants undone. “Lady Justice” is pinned downby former ANC Youth League president Ju-lius Malema, Cosatu general secretary Zwel-inzima Vavi, SA Communist Party generalsecretary Blade Nzimande and ANC secre-tary generalGwedeMantashe, all saying: “Gofor it, boss”.Zuma had, at the time, been acquitted of
rape. He also had a long-running battleagainst corruption charges with Thint, aFrencharmscompany.The corruption charg-es have been dropped as the National Prose-cuting Authority reportedly said there wasrecorded evidence of interference in the case.The R5m lawsuit – first reduced to R4m
with the impairment of dignity aspectdropped, then reduced to R100 000 for defama-tion and an unconditional apology – has beengoing since December 2008.It was withdrawn yesterday.Presidential spokesperson Mac Maharaj
said Zuma wanted to avoid setting a legalprecedent which could limit “the public exer-cise of free speech”.Zapiro has called it a “great victory for free-
dom of expression, satire and for comment”.The political power play cannot be ignored.Political figureheads are fair game for the
media. These may all be true.Putting aside the issues of freedom of ex-
pression, the imagery of the rape of Lady Jus-tice leaves a bitter aftertaste.Perhaps without intending to, the cartoon
may be seen as transcending good taste.Whatdoes the cartoon say to any woman who hasever been violated like this? This countryhasa very high incidence of rape – committed bymen of all backgrounds. Making fun of politi-cians in this way may reverberate with thesound of a hollow victory after all.
Don’t be too hasty to complainTHERE are some citizens who have becomequite famous due to their community issues let-ters published in the local media.At times one cannot help but wonder how lo-
cal politicians are politely targeted to score po-litical points with a hasty flash of the power ofthe pen.This arises when a community issue is sent
or broughtunder the attentionof a local council-lor or to the City’s departments heads. If thereis not a quick enough response on the issuesthen lines are drawn as in a gun battle in theoldWildWest,where bulletswere emptiedwith-out mercy.In regard to any service delivery issue ormat-
ters effecting a community,magicwands are on-ly stories in fairy tales. In reality and in the realworld there are restraints, time frames, waitinglists, labour issues, resource availability and fi-nancial issues. The most important point is apolite follow-up to the complainant or communi-ty. Silence in the process will give the opposi-tion political points to the detriment of the localappointed politician.
Those who have service delivery issuesshould look at the dedicated staff – if any – con-tingent of the local councillor, apart from thevolunteer ward committee, in relation to thewhole layout of a ward. I think we will then be-come political polite and patient.But I must add that the local politician of
whichever political party will be political cor-rect to address the needs of the communitiesand, in turn, be very sure to keep theward popu-lation up to date on the progress of the issuesraised.In doing this, a local politician will give no
person political points and those who are soquick to collect those points will be just as hastyand honest to give praise points where it is due.So to those seeking political points: be patient
and slow to criticise. And keep this quote byGroucho Marx in mind: “Politics is the art oflooking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diag-nosing it incorrectly and applying the wrongremedies”.KEITH BLAKEOttery
Cycle lanes will be redundantI AGREE wholeheartedly with Brian Hoare’sletter (“What a waste of money”, People’s Post,23 October). I have lived allmy life in Plumsteadand have very seldom seen anybody cycling onVictoria Road.Has this very clever person taken into ac-
count that all these kilometres of white lineswill also have to be repainted soon?
Judging from the poor condition of the roadmarkings, such as stop signs, the answer couldonly be a definite “no”.The use of these tracks will then soon become
redundant and very dangerous to use. Again,what a waste of taxpayers’ money.CHRISPlumstead
Recycledmany timesWHATapity (People’s Post interns)Luzuko Zini and Tarren-Lee Habel-gaarn did not manage to find evenone enlightened person to inter-view in their poll on recycledwater!Every drop of water on the planet

People’s Post should notbe encouraging this ignorant knee-jerk response, but rather explain-ing how fortunate we are that wehave safe water on tap and do nothave to collect it from a stream andpurify it ourselves.PENELOPE FORRESTEmailThe matter of recycling water in theWestern Province and KwaZulu Na-tal is relevant and topical to readers,hence the poll.

Walking the talkto raise fundsLIAM MOSES
INSTEAD of throwing a party, aMitchell’s Plain communityworker will celebrate his 50thbirthday by tackling a 50kmwalk to raise funds for charity.
Keith Meyer, from Strandfon-tein, is founder ofMakingan Im-pact Through Sport (MITS), anNGO which provides extra-mu-ral sport and physical educationcoaching at several schools inMitchell’s Plain.
On Sunday 11 November, theday after he turns 50,Meyerwillwalk the Discovery Cape TimesBig Walk in hopes of raisingenough money to send at leastone of the organisation’s 10 un-paid volunteers on a coachingcourse.
“The funds are so that we canpay towards the training ofcoaches for either a qualifica-tion in sports management orcoaching science,” says Meyer.
“They help the communityand now they can get somethingback from the community.Hopefully it will create job op-portunities or open doors forthem as coaches.”
MITS runs the mandated cur-ricular physical education pro-grammes at 10 schools in Len-tegeur, Portlands, Tafelsig andRocklands and also providescoaching for soccer, volleyball,softball and other sports.
The organisation works withup to 1 000 pupils at each schoolevery week, and also runs theMitchell’s Plain girls footballleague and other regular sportsevents for children from all theschools in Mitchell’s Plain.
All the programmes are runby local volunteers, as well asvolunteers from Europeancountries such as the Nether-lands andGermany.Meyer sayshe hopes the courses will help tomake the local volunteers moreemployable.
“Some of them are fortunatein that they receive stipendsfrom the schools. The schoolsare able to generate the incomeand are able to assist some of thevolunteers,” says Meyer.
“They work for a full year,and not getting paid takes a lotof commitment from the volun-teers..”
However, with just over aweek to go until the walk, MITShas not yet raised enough mon-ey to send one of the volunteerson the course. Only R1 500 of therequired R8 000 course costs forone person has been raised sofar.
Meyer hopes to raise thefunds by having people donatetowards each kilometre hewalks.
Children at the schools wherehis organisation works havestarted donating small changetowards the cause.
Meyer will be joined by aDutch volunteer who previous-ly assisted at MITS. She has or-ganised a 10km walk in herhome town to coincide withMeyer’s walk. The funds raisedwill go towards MITS.
The organisation is also col-lecting second-hand takkies andsoccer boots for pupils.
Anyone interested in assist-ing MITS can contact Meyer on079 597 0012.

Lace up those takkiesLIAM MOSES
A DEARTH of recreational facili-ties has prompted a Wynberg cou-ple to strap on their walking shoes.Now they’re inviting others to jointhem.
Norman and Marlene Samuelshave been involved in soccer at theCape District LFA for 52 and 48years respectively.
Other than the soccer fields atWilliam Herbert Sports Complex,the couple says Wynberg doesn’thave any recreation facilities and ithas become unsafe to walk alongthe roads of the area.
Norman Samuels says the clubwill allow residents to exercise andsocialise safely in their suburb.
The Samuels couple have “al-ways walked on Rosmead Avenue”,until a man was killed opposite therace course in 2009. “Since that timewe have been scared to walk,” saysNormal Samuels.
But no longer. After initiallylooking to join a walking club, thecouple decided to start a club inWynberg.
“Here are many people in Wyn-berg, (including) senior folk, butno-one wants to do anything.”
Called the Battswood WalkingClub, it is affiliated to the soccerclub the couple has been a part offor many years.
They aim to host walks at Wil-liam Herbert, where they also hopeto have a walking track marked off
for walkers around the fields.While it is envisaged the clubwill
take part in walking events, Mar-lene Samuels says it will be more ofa social than competitive club.
“Wynberg has two old age homesand quite a few crèches and thereis nothing for them to do,” saysSamuels.“It’s not going to be a competitivesport. It’s going to be social walkingmore than anything else.”
Samuels adds that the club hopesto have a strong community aspectas many elderly residents of Wyn-berg are starved of recreational ac-tivities for most of the year.
The club is set to launch at theWilliam Herbert on Sunday 18 No-vember.
For more information call Mar-lene or Norman Samuels on(021) 761 7409.

Bafana stars take charge at Old MutualLIAM MOSES
OLDMUTUALFootball Clubwillnow be able to call on the experi-ence of three former BafanaBafana players in their fight forsurvival in the second division(formerly the Vodacom League)this season.
The club was recently boughtfrom the insurance firm by formerBafana striker George Dearnaley.He has brought on board GeraldStober and Mark Anderson, who al-so represented South Africa, ashead coach and goalkeeping coachrespectively.
Dearnaley says he decided tobring Stober and Anderson to theteam because they shared a similarfootball philosophy and because oftheir experience.
He says Anderson does a goal-keeper’s session once a week, whileStober, who has been coaching Ry-gersdal, was “keen to” join Old Mu-tual FC.
“Even though I am the owner,(Stober) is the head coach. I let himmake his decisions,” says Dearnal-ey.
The club has also roped in formerSpringbok and Western Provinceloose forward Bobby Skinstad to siton its advisory board and the OldMutual football academy, which al-so belongs to the insurance firm, iscurrently headed by Roger Links,who also represented Bafana.
Dearnaley started out his profes-sional career with AmaZulu in Dur-ban and also played for Hellenicand Seven Stars. He earned threecaps for South Africa and went onto coach the Ajax Cape Town juniorteam after retiring.
The Claremont resident boughtOld Mutual FC as a way to give backto South African football. He saysthe team’s main goal will be to de-velop players, and not to earn pro-motion to the National First Divi-sion.
“We are not going to try to win theleague. We want to develop someplayers. We want to be a develop-ment side, so that in a couple ofyears’ time we can point at about
six or seven players in the PremierSoccer League (PSL) and say theycame through our team,” says Dear-naley.
“There are quite a few rich own-ers pumping money into the game,which is fantastic. Players are earn-
ing decent salaries at this level,which is great, but I don’t have themoney to compete with those typesof owners. Realistically I can’t tryto win the league when some clubshave a salary bill of R100 000 amonth, whereas we will probably
have a bill of R100 000 a year ontransport costs.”
Dearnaley’s side has alreadyplayed three games this season, los-ing 2-1 to Ajax in the first game and1-0 to Steenberg United before beat-ing Stellenbosch University 2-1 on
Friday night.As part of the deal to purchase the
club, the team will keep the samename and colours and remain attheir training ground in Pinelands,next to Old Mutual’s head office, forat least the next two years.
