New centre plan slatedTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

A shopping complex is being proposedfor a portion of the “Old dump site” atthe Ladies Mile or Spaanschemat Riv-

er Road intersection in Constantia and theidea is being slammed by residents in thatarea.

The land, erven 13707 and 13708, was afarm owned by the Solomon Family for 65years, until they were forcifully removedunder the Group Areas Act.

According to the motivation report, theplanning application says the land is to bere-zone from Utility to General Business –to allow a retail development – and to ap-prove the site development plan (SDP). The

shopping complex will create 150 jobs duringconstruction and 350 when fully operational.The capital investment is about R250m.

A new traffic circle is proposed at the La-dies Mile/Spaanschemat River road inter-section to help with traffic.

Residents are fuming about the proposal,with some worried about traffic and otherssaying they don’t want another shop. Otherswant the rural feel of the area to be main-tained. They took to the Constantia Ratepay-ers’ and Residents Association (CRRA) Face-book page to air their views.

Adriana Stevens says this is a very badidea. “What do we want another shoppingcentre for and right in the middle of a resi-dentially zoned area? Traffic will also be toomuch for the area to absorb, and that’s not

even taking into account during construc-tion. Very bad idea.”

Joanna Furter says they don’t need anoth-er shopping mall. “We do not need anothershopping mall when we already have two inclose proximity of each other and using theland rather for the benefit of everyone – likea park for children or similar – would be afar better use of the land,” she says.

Annette Cowley-Nel says: “What we needto do is preserve the rural feel of Constantia.They should rather build beautiful stablesand a stunning arena for horses. Eventhough I am not a rider we need to keep thespace. That is why we all live Constantia,”she says.

In a statement contained in the motivationdocument, Rashad Solomon, founder and

chairperson of the Solomon Family Trustsays when they were moved from the areaduring apartheid, not only did the Group Ar-eas Act dispossess their family of their landand usage right but the built fabric they de-veloped on the property over decades was de-stroyed.

“After a lengthy struggle, the Solomonfamily has eventually regained our land andis in the process of getting the statutory au-thorities to reinstate the mixed land userights we held on what was once Constan-tia’s prime commercial hub. In developingour property, the Solomon family endeav-ours to unlock the economic opportunitiesthat we have been denied access to up untilnow,” he saysV Continued on page 3

Lee Sophia Piedt was one of 20 gifted dancersselected to attend the first ever Red Bull BCOne Camp that took place in the Cape Townrecently. The dancers were immersed inlectures and couch sessions by prominentnames in the international and local scene.Alongside legends from the scene, dancersrecieved valuable coaching across varioustopics to equip each dancer with knowledgethat goes beyond their craft, to create abroader understanding of career growth andself­wellbeing.

Restoring Hope, a non-profit organisationin Retreat, is on amission to bring about

a positive change and hope to previouslydisadvantaged communities.This group of young adults began their in-itiative after recognising the lackof positiveactivities and initiatives within local com-munities.They offer different outreach pro-grammes to areas likeRetreat, GrassyPark,Wynberg and Muizenberg.“Our mission for Restoring Hope is towork alongside these local communities toempower them to reach their full potentialin different aspects of their lives,” says DaleHendricks, director of Restoring Hope.“We aim to do this through the use of re-sources that are accessible to them as wellas with the assistance of established organi-sations and the community in order to re-store hope in these previously disadvan-taged communities.”One of their projects is to host a food andblanket drive for the less fortunate andhomeless.The event is hosted once every threemonths.The foodandblanket drivenot only allevi-ates short-term hunger and provideswarmth, but also enhances thequality of lifeand the circumstances the less fortunateare living in, Hendricks says.“The food and blanket drive also createsawareness amongst the youth so that theytoo can become aware of the conditions thatsome of our homeless citizens live in. Thedrive encourages them to do their part,” hesays.The next clothing and blanket drive willtake place on Saturday 16 July.“We appeal to the public, other organisa-tions and individuals to generously donate

blankets, food and even clothing to thecause.”Though these young people have bighearts, their pockets aren’t deep enough tomatch.“There are limited resources available aswe are just a group of young adults invest-ing in these initiatives out of our own pock-ets,” says Hendricks.“Through the assistance of other organi-sations and businesses we are able to suc-cessfully run this initiative.”Apart from the food, clothing and blanket

drives, they also spend timewith senior citi-zens at old age homes and visit orphans.They have more outreaches planned andall they need is a helping hand.Some of the community-based projects inthe pipeline include sporting initiatives –such as soccer tournaments, motivationalspeaking at schools, mentorship pro-grammes, gardeningprojects, and recyclingprojects.V To help Restoring Hope or for more information,contact Dale Hendricks on 078 008 9331 or emaildale.restoringhope021@gmail.com.

FROM PAGE 1Solomon adds: “As it is impossible to fully re-store the historic character of the land, thefamily has carefully considered the type andnature of redevelopment whichwill be able tofunction as a financially viable standalone en-tity and to serve as a catalyst for the develop-ment of the remaining restitution sites. To re-alise these opportunities and to reflect ournew ‘economic beginnings,’ the Solomon fam-ily, in conjunctionwith the our business part-ner Shoprite Checkers Pty Ltd , have initiateda collaborativedesignprocess inpursuit of de-veloping a commercial retail centre with amodern ‘look and feel’ on our land which wasgained through the land claims restitutionprocess,” says Solomon.Shoprite Checkers supermarket group re-ferred People’s Post to documentation alreadyin the public domain via the CRRA website.In a statement they say a completion dateis dependent on the rezoning process current-ly underway and approval of building plans.The owners of the land will lease it to the su-permarket group for the development of anupmarket community shopping centre whichwill be anchored by a new generation Check-ers supermarket.It is believed that the proposed developmentwill help alleviate traffic congestion and cre-ate a pleasant and alternative shopping expe-rience.CRRA is conducting an online opinion pollon the plans.

SOUTHFIELD

Parking painsat Princess VleiTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

Looking after the environment and theareas they live in, is one of the top pri-

orities for the PrincessVlei CivicAssoci-ation.However, over the last couple of

months they have been struggling withan area at the corner of Estmil Road andPrincess Vlei.“We are so worried about the cars that

park in the wrong place,” says Jan Burg-er, chairperson for Princess Vlei CivicAssociation. It makes the area look unti-dy. They drive over the kerbing and thearea has sand pushed all over, which isunpleasant. We want the area to belooked after properly.”This is the entrance or gateway to

Windsor Park, Elfindale, Heathfield,Southfield and surrounds andBurger be-lieves it should be kept neat and tidy.“Due to the cars driving and parking

inwrong places, a stormwater gully is to-tally destroyed – all because of the park-ing on this specific corner.“Why must we, the residents, be satis-

fied with this service? We are paying forservices through rates. It would appearthat this business and the workers theredo not care a fig for the environment orwhat happens. At one time Law Enforce-ment didwell by summonsing the peopleresponsible, but why can this practicenot continue?” he asks.To prevent parking in the wrong place

they have requested to have bollards

SOUTHFIELD

Parking painsat Princess VleiTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

Looking after the environment and theareas they live in, is one of the top pri-

orities for the PrincessVlei CivicAssoci-ation.However, over the last couple of

months they have been struggling withan area at the corner of Estmil Road andPrincess Vlei.“We are so worried about the cars that

park in the wrong place,” says Jan Burg-er, chairperson for Princess Vlei CivicAssociation. It makes the area look unti-dy. They drive over the kerbing and thearea has sand pushed all over, which isunpleasant. We want the area to belooked after properly.”This is the entrance or gateway to

Windsor Park, Elfindale, Heathfield,Southfield and surrounds andBurger be-lieves it should be kept neat and tidy.“Due to the cars driving and parking

inwrong places, a stormwater gully is to-tally destroyed – all because of the park-ing on this specific corner.“Why must we, the residents, be satis-

fied with this service? We are paying forservices through rates. It would appearthat this business and the workers theredo not care a fig for the environment orwhat happens. At one time Law Enforce-ment didwell by summonsing the peopleresponsible, but why can this practicenot continue?” he asks.To prevent parking in the wrong place

they have requested to have bollards

there, but their calls fall on deaf eyes,Burger says.“This issue was reported to (the ward-

councillor) some time ago and he recom-mended to someone that bollards beerected, therefore prohibiting vehiclesto park on this ground. We are still wait-ing.

CECILIA FOREST

Planting a Silver Tree legacyGARY VAN DYK

@gvdcapejazz

The conservation of threatened plant spe-cieswas in the spotlightwhen theBotani-

cal Society of South Africa (BotSoc) joinedeffortswith staff ofTableMountainNationalPark and Kirstenbosch National BotanicalGardens to plant 1000 silvertree (Leucaden-dron argenteum) seedlings in the CeciliaForest.South Africa is signatory to the Conven-

tion on Biological Diversity that seeks toconserve the diversity of life on Earth at alllevels (genetic, population, species, habitat,and ecosystem) and to ensure that this diver-sity continues to maintain the life supportsystems of the biosphere overall, and for all.South Africa has developed a national

strategy for plant conservation and this ini-tiative feeds directly into the fulfilment ofthis strategy’s desired outcomes.On Thursday 7 July this collaboration for

conservation came into play once againwiththe planting of the seedlings.Catherine Clulow, executive assistant at

the botanical society, explained that in 2013Kirstenbosch and BotSoc created the SilverTree Restoration Project for their joint cen-tenary legacy project.“Roughly 7500 silvertrees were planted by

staff, partners, volunteers and members ofthe public,” she says.“Now three years on, an additional 1000

silvertrees have been planted in the area.”This member of the protea family is en-

dangered and facing a very high risk of ex-tinction in the wild because of its limitednatural habitat of granitic soil on cool south-erly slopes, which because of developmenthas shrunk by at least 60%.The South African National Botanical In-

stitute and SANParks have been collaborat-ing on conservation, and particularly resto-ration, for over a decade, focusing on threat-ened species in threatened habitats, such asin Tokai.“Silvertrees are an iconic flagship species

which have been described as some of themost beautiful trees in theworld,” continuesClulow.“It is believed to be endemic to the Cape

Peninsula, meaning they occur naturallyonly here. Apart from urbanisation and af-forestation (pines and gums), another threatis Phytophthora, a root rot fungus which isspread bymoisture, andArmillaria root rot.“Historical success has shown that plant-

ing out newly germinated seedlings has ahigh survival chance.“At the botanical society we are glad to

give support and get involved as an NGO fo-cused on environmental awareness and con-servation.“Planting trees for the future alongside

fellow passionate people working in the en-vironmental sector is heart-warming.”This project is ongoing to ensure that this

threatened, endemic species to theCapePen-insula is restored and brought to publicawareness.The avenue of silvertrees begins at Ry-

croft Gate (Kirstenbosch Gate 3) and contin-ues to the historic cork oak planting whereSouthern Cross Drive connects to RhodesDrive.

Getting down to planting the silvertrees inCecilia Forest are, from left, Chamell Pluim ofSANParks, Catherine Clulow of the BotanicalSociety of South Africa and Benjamin Festusof Kirstenbosch.

ZANDVLEI

Partnering in river restorationThe Diep River and the Prinskasteel or

Keysers River corridors in the Zandvleicatchment have been identified as the pilotriver corridors for the implementation of aproject to restore the river system of the city.

The river restoration initiative, theSource to Sea Project, is a partnership be-tween the City of Cape Town, Local Govern-ments for Sustainability (ICLEI Africa),South African National Parks (SANParks)and the Wildlife and Environment Society ofSouth Africa (WESSA).

Johan van der Merwe, Mayco member forenergy, environmental and spatial plan-ning, says this approach is an integral partof the future sustainability of freshwater

and coastal habitats as Cape Town’s rivers,estuaries, wetlands and coastal environ-ment are all interlinked.

“This river restoration project representsa paradigm shift for urban river manage-ment within Cape Town. Various City de-partments, as well as our partners, all havedifferent programmes and initiatives thatare taking place in these corridors. Consoli-dating the work that is being done and en-suring that there is a clear, systematic, fo-cused and feasible way of working togetherin the future will be a more efficient use ofresources and will unlock maximum rivermanagement results,” he says.

These two corridors arise on the slopes of

Table Mountain before meandering into theZandvlei Nature Reserve and eventuallyflow out to sea at Muizenberg.

These river corridors play an importantrole in linking mountain fynbos with thecritically endangered low-lying Cape Flats,where small remnants of sand fynbos anddune strandveld vegetation still occur.

“We are moving towards a way of partner-ing with communities and discerning howbest to respond to their needs.

“The transversal nature of the Source toSea Project makes it a unique initiative asit connects interest groups, civil society,City departments, scientists, non-govern-mental organisations, parastatals and the

public,” says Belinda Walker, Mayco mem-ber for community services and special pro-jects.

With the assistance of ICLEI Africa, a web-site has been developed for the Source to SeaProject and it was launched on Thursday30 June at the SANParks Research Centre inTokai.

The website provides information aboutthe work being done in the river corridorsas well as information about upcoming ac-tivities within the Zandvlei catchment area.

The public is encouraged to add informa-tion about any events.V For more information on the project, visit www.sour-cetosea.org.za.

In memory oflocal artist

EARL HAUPT@EarlHaupt

As she leaves the studio teeming witharound 30 dancers, Lee Sophia Piedt

places her “Nutribullet” container downto take time out to speak of her experienceat Red Bull’s BC One camp.Piedt, a Lansdowne resident, was one of

six dancers from Cape Town to be selectedto attend the camp, the first of its kind any-where in the country.She says the camp exceededher expecta-

tions and has given her revived motiva-tion to continue her quest to grow the cul-ture of dance as a professional medium.“I hadmy own idea of what it was about,

but once I got there it was a completely dif-ferent thing. If you are thinking of a camp,you think thatwe are just going to talk andbond, but it was definitely a lot more ele-vated and a lot more inspiring for me, be-cause of what I am trying to do here inCape Town regarding my own projectswith dance,” exudes Piedt.She explains that an all-round approach

was taken during the camp, where every-thing from the nutritional aspect of dance,the culture and discipline of dance werediscussedwhile also dealingwith the chal-lengers professional dancers face in thecountry, suchas the lackof dance facilities

for dancers to practice and train to worktowards performing on stage and beingprofessional dancers and artists.“Being part of the camp I felt very re-

spected, because at least there is someonepaying attention to what it is we are doinghere in South Africa. To be affiliated withRed Bull who support mainly hip-hop, forthem to invite me – a contemporary andtrained dancer – to the camp, I felt reallyspecial,” she adds.Initially, Piedt was baffled that Red Bull

invited her to an event she thought wasout of her area of specialisation, but even-tually understood the reasoning behindher inclusion.“It was not just about dancing per sé, it

was about the industry as awhole andhowit is that we can empower ourselves as art-ists,” she says.Piedt, through her company Loleepop

DanceLife, runs the Cape Town DanceBoot Camp, which conducted a workshopatWynberg High School during the schoolholidays, and says she has been fightingthe stigma surrounding dance, which isnot viewed as a viable career choice. Butattending the camp hasmade Piedt realisethat everything has come full-circle.“They made me understand that every-

thing that I have been fighting for is legiti-mate and is worthy for what it is that I

want to do. I feel saddened by being inSouth Africa sometimes, because peoplestill ask me what I really do and ask whatmy real job is.“Like every sports person or athlete, I

was in class training and really committedto this craft. It is sad, because everyone’sperception of dance here it is still ‘oh no,it is a hobby, it is part-time’, whereas a lotof people are stuck in jobs just becausethey want to earn a cheque.“I get to do what I love and I am earning

money. I amgetting to travel theworld andI am getting to meet other people aroundthe world who do exactly the same thingas me,” she says.Piedt truly believes that dance has the

power to unify people from all cultures.“The beautiful thing about dance is that

we all speak different languages, butwhenyou put us in the studio together then weare the same people, because music anddance have the same heartbeat. Just be-cause of that, I have more motivation tofight for the cause and culture here. Beingpart of the camp gave me an opportunityto witness that some people do respect andsupport us, sonow it’s just the restweneedto convince.”V To find out more about Cape Town Dance Boot-camp, contact Lee Sophia Piedt on 079 515 8319 orsend an email to lsp.loleepop@gmail.com

In memory oflocal artist

EARL HAUPT@EarlHaupt

As she leaves the studio teeming witharound 30 dancers, Lee Sophia Piedt

places her “Nutribullet” container downto take time out to speak of her experienceat Red Bull’s BC One camp.Piedt, a Lansdowne resident, was one of

six dancers from Cape Town to be selectedto attend the camp, the first of its kind any-where in the country.She says the camp exceededher expecta-

tions and has given her revived motiva-tion to continue her quest to grow the cul-ture of dance as a professional medium.“I hadmy own idea of what it was about,

but once I got there it was a completely dif-ferent thing. If you are thinking of a camp,you think thatwe are just going to talk andbond, but it was definitely a lot more ele-vated and a lot more inspiring for me, be-cause of what I am trying to do here inCape Town regarding my own projectswith dance,” exudes Piedt.She explains that an all-round approach

was taken during the camp, where every-thing from the nutritional aspect of dance,the culture and discipline of dance werediscussedwhile also dealingwith the chal-lengers professional dancers face in thecountry, suchas the lackof dance facilities

for dancers to practice and train to worktowards performing on stage and beingprofessional dancers and artists.“Being part of the camp I felt very re-

spected, because at least there is someonepaying attention to what it is we are doinghere in South Africa. To be affiliated withRed Bull who support mainly hip-hop, forthem to invite me – a contemporary andtrained dancer – to the camp, I felt reallyspecial,” she adds.Initially, Piedt was baffled that Red Bull

invited her to an event she thought wasout of her area of specialisation, but even-tually understood the reasoning behindher inclusion.“It was not just about dancing per sé, it

was about the industry as awhole andhowit is that we can empower ourselves as art-ists,” she says.Piedt, through her company Loleepop

DanceLife, runs the Cape Town DanceBoot Camp, which conducted a workshopatWynberg High School during the schoolholidays, and says she has been fightingthe stigma surrounding dance, which isnot viewed as a viable career choice. Butattending the camp hasmade Piedt realisethat everything has come full-circle.“They made me understand that every-

thing that I have been fighting for is legiti-mate and is worthy for what it is that I

want to do. I feel saddened by being inSouth Africa sometimes, because peoplestill ask me what I really do and ask whatmy real job is.“Like every sports person or athlete, I

was in class training and really committedto this craft. It is sad, because everyone’sperception of dance here it is still ‘oh no,it is a hobby, it is part-time’, whereas a lotof people are stuck in jobs just becausethey want to earn a cheque.“I get to do what I love and I am earning

money. I amgetting to travel theworld andI am getting to meet other people aroundthe world who do exactly the same thingas me,” she says.Piedt truly believes that dance has the

power to unify people from all cultures.“The beautiful thing about dance is that

we all speak different languages, butwhenyou put us in the studio together then weare the same people, because music anddance have the same heartbeat. Just be-cause of that, I have more motivation tofight for the cause and culture here. Beingpart of the camp gave me an opportunityto witness that some people do respect andsupport us, sonow it’s just the restweneedto convince.”V To find out more about Cape Town Dance Boot-camp, contact Lee Sophia Piedt on 079 515 8319 orsend an email to lsp.loleepop@gmail.com

For more than a century, the Salesian In-stitute has been providing education,

shelter and emotional support for at-riskyouth.

The institute is dedicated to improvingthe lives of South Africa’s vulnerable chil-dren and youth at risk. Each year, 1600young men and women take part in the in-stitute’s programmes with a custom-tai-lored mix of basic education, vocationaltraining, social skills, neighbourhood out-reach and residential accommodation.

The programmes include classes for chil-dren and youth who have dropped out ofschool or who do not have the skills to passtheir matriculation exams – such as weld-ing, woodcraft, panel beating and arts andcrafts – as well as vocational classes for old-er youth to learn high demand trade skillslike tiling, laminated flooring, bricklaying,PC repair, computer literacy and officemanagement.

They also offer life skills classes to giveat-risk youth self-confidence and socialskills.

One of the young people to benefit fromthese programmes is 21-year-old NompeloPike from Philippi. In the informal settle-ment, most of the youth are involved incriminal activities and there is a high num-ber of high school drop-outs, Pike says.

“Gangsterism and drug addiction are bigproblems. Venturing out of the communityto seek opportunity takes courage, and it israre that anyone manages to break the cy-cle,” she says.

Pike was working as a part time cleanerin Cape Town when she was approached byher employer who suggested she trained atthe Salesian Institute.

Pike started with the life skills pro-gramme, where she learned skills from in-terviewing to budgeting, communication,trust building, self-esteem and preparationfor the business world.

“The life skills programme made meboost my confidence, made me believe inmyself and made me dream more. It ena-bled me to try and achieve more things inorder for me to contribute to the bettermentof society.”

This programme was followed by acourse in computer literacy and office man-agement. “I knew nothing about a comput-er! I come from a poor background and Ihave never been fortunate enough to owna personal computer. The very first thingwe did on those computers was to switchon the computer, and then we began withour first activity. Every day after that I be-came more excited about coming to classand learning something new.”

Pike is a student at the Cape PeninsulaUniversity of Technology, studying OfficeManagement and Technology.

The institute also offers outreach pro-grammes, where community workers havespent years working in townships and onthe streets, developing relationships withcommunity leaders and the young peoplethemselves. This allows them to find thosemost in need and bring them into the pro-grammes, as well as support those who arein danger of falling into real trouble.

“Sometimes this is a hard sell for youthwho have experienced drugs, crime, gang-sterism, physical and mental abuse and do-mestic violence on a daily basis. Once ayoung man or woman decides to partici-pate, we develop a programme to addresstheir specific needs, working with govern-ment agencies as well as our own staff of12 experienced teachers, facilitators andcounsellors to put together a fully roundedprogramme of support, education andtraining,” the institute says in a statement.

“And when their time with us is over, wesupport them with resumé writing, jobcounselling and placement services for aslong as they need it.”V The next set of courses will run from 10 Augustto 30 September. Contact 021 421 3450 or Whats-App 079 018 8359.

watchdogs of public health fa-cilities, health facility boards havebecome a key communication me-dium to enable direct interactionbetween the public and manage-ment of health facilities in order toresolve specific operational ail-ments.

Anthony Ghillino, vice chairper-son of the Western Cape Rehabili-tation Centre’s (WCRC) Health Fa-cility Board, says the board contin-uously strives to ensure optimalcorporate and clinical governance,fundraising, community involve-ment and the formulation of strate-gies and policies to assist the man-agement of the facility.

The Western Cape Health Facili-ty Boards Act was introduced in2001 by the provincial minister ofhealth to ensure management of allpublic health facilities are ac-countable to, and have the supportof their communities and managetheir resources responsibly and ef-fectively.

“I joined the WCRC’s Health Fa-cility Board in 2007, in order to giveback to my community and the fa-cility. During my tenure I havebeen able to share my expertise,knowledge and experience at a fa-cility that does incredible work,”says Ghillino.

The WCRC, now in operation for11 years, provides specialised, mul-tidisciplinary rehabilitation pro-grammes for people with physicaldisabilities. The focus is outcome-based and promotes functional in-

dependence to ultimately achievethe goal of community reintegra-tion.

Ghillino, a quadriplegic, was apatient of the then Conradie Hospi-tal after being involved in a motorvehicle accident at the age of 16.

“I am proud to be involved andassociated with the WCRC, as botha client and as a board member.The organisation offers world-class services to people with physi-cal disabilities, such as myself,”says Ghillino.

Jenny Hendry, CEO of theWCRC, says the format of theBoard provides an opportunity forcommunity members to get in-volved as well. “The Board struc-ture requires clinical, non-clinicaland academic representation.Most importantly, the communityalso needs to be represented by in-dividuals on this committee, thusensuring that the needs, concernsand recommendations of clientsand the community are properlyaddressed,” says Hendry.

Ghillino, who will be completingthe end of his third and final termon the Board, says that being partof the board has provided him withan opportunity to share in the suc-cesses and triumphs of other peo-ple with disabilities. “People withdisabilities encounter a range ofphysical, social and opinionatedbarriers, which prevent them fromaccessing the same rights as non-disabled people. Because theWCRC focuses on rehabilitation tohelp clients overcome these barri-

ers, we are able to ensure that ourpatients are integrated into main-stream society and live a fulfilledand successful life.”

Echoing these sentiments, Hen-dry says Ghillino is a great exam-ple to other people with disabili-ties. “Anthony is a project manag-er of the QuadPara Association ofthe Western Cape. Apart from serv-ing on the WCRC’s Board, he alsoserves on the executive committeeof the Western Cape Network onDisability and the managementboard of the QuadPara Associationof South Africa,” she says.

Hendry advises residents whoare interested in becoming mem-bers of the board to submit a copyof their CV, accompanied by a rec-ommendation letter, to the office ofthe Health Facility Board at theWCRC.

“Recommendation letters maycome from an organisation such asa non-governmental organisation,religious organisation, civic orga-nisation, gender organisation orcommunity-based organisations,”says Hendry.

MIKE’S OCEAN TALES

The problemwith my catchis bycatchBycatch – the catching and dis-carding of marine species thatare not intended to be caught –in the ocean is a huge problemthat is drastically affecting thefish andmarinemammal popu-lations within the ocean.A study done a few years ago

found that approximately 1.5tons of fish are discarded everynight by shrimp trawlers inAustralia alone.This is a result of the high de-

mand for certain fish species byconsumers and the largeamount of money that fisher-man canmake out of this indus-try.These fishermen use tech-

niques to capture as many fishas possible and these tech-niques are particularly harm-ful, often resulting in the cap-ture of non-target fish species.Fishermen often discard

these fish as it is often illegal tosell them.But the problem is that the

fish, accidentally caught, areoften dead when discarded intothe ocean.These fishing techniques can

often result in the complete de-struction of the habitats ofmany fish.If you go to a local fishing

boat when they are pulling intheir nets, like the fishermenon FishHoek beach, you can of-ten see rays, small dolphinsanda large variety of other marineorganisms in their nets alongwith their intended catch.This is just a local example of

an international problem, andthere are much larger vessels

being used in the ocean in com-parison to the one that we seeon Fish Hoek beach.Due to the vulnerability of

certain fish populations in theocean, bycatch can possibly de-liver the final blow tomany dif-ferent susceptible fish popula-tions.Even if government issues

quotas for vulnerable fish, thisis not dealing with the problemof bycatch.A method to combat this has

already been introduced intrawl nets, which acts as an es-cape pathway. This allows cer-tainmarinemammals and larg-er fish to pass through and es-cape the net before it is broughtto the surface. This has alreadyhad a positive impact on thepopulations of many marineanimals such as sharks anddol-phins. But not all non-targetfish are able to escape throughthese pathways.We need to seriously look in-

to developing techniques thatcan reduce the amount of by-catch that takes place withinthe ocean.We also need to, as a commu-

nity, consume fish that are cap-tured using non-harmful fish-ing techniques. Otherwise, cer-tainmarine life thatwe cherishmay not be around for the fu-ture generations to see. Theymay be reduced to looking atthese fish in aquariums or inbooks.V This column was contributed byMichael Hart-Davis, a student of Ma-rine Science. Email him onmhartd@gmail.com.

Dogs needed to fight crimeI read with great interestarticles written about howcriminals are targeting vehiclesand stealing its owner’s goodswhen they stop at the robots atthe intersection of Military Roadand Prince George Drive inLavender Hill. In almost mili-tary tactic formation thesecriminals manoeuvre betweenthe vehicles and then brazenlyin broad daylight rip open thebakkies canopies and then stealgoods belonging to businessmenand women transporting theirgoods. The poor police are againblamed due to lack of visiblepatrols.Now here is where I want to

come in and share a solutionthat should deter these crimi-nals. Before I share this idea Iwant to give some credence tomy proposal by saying what Ihad seen and experienced whenI was operational commander atTable Bay Harbour police.Whenever I held checkpoints

or searched ships and premisesI tried to have two types oftrained dogs to assist me andmy members: a drug detectiondog and a explosive detectiondog. These two trained canines

would sniff out drugs andfirearms which we as policewould not have detected.During my service years we

had problems with stowawaysand then somebody came upwith the brilliant idea oftraining private dogs to searchships for these stowaways. Ipersonally know after manyyears of service at the harbourthere are literally thousands ofhiding places on ships. Then oneday a ship’s captain and hisshipping agent came to myoffice and asked us to help findone of the ship’s highly trainedRottweilers that got off the shipvia a gangplank. I asked thisforeign captain what did hemean highly trained and heinformed me that on theircompany’s ships are these dogstrained to attack on commandin their language if piratesboard their ships on the openseas and when they came toport the dogs with a crewmember would do guard duty.We found the dog safe andsound.Before 1994 trained dogs were

used to do crowd control andthere I saw that a few dogs on

leashes with teeth blaring kepthundred of people in line andcontrol. I always wonder lately,when I see crowd controlviolence, why the shotguns arebrought into play but there areno the dogs assist the police torestore law and order.People who are really serious

about crime prevention havedogs on their premises andthese dogs are the protectorsand detectors of criminals nearor on the property.We shouldalso look at the NeighbourhoodWatches coming on board withtrained guard dogs while theyare on crime prevention duties.These businessmen have to

get dogs on the back of thebakkies when transporting theirgoods and place a board on theback stating “Beware of thedog/Pasop vir die hond/Lum-kela inja”.To those reading this letter it

is time we realise that we needevery resource out there to helpfight criminals. Superman andBatman are a myths; man’s bestfriend is baking up the righttree.

Poetry lives onthrough musicLOUISA STEYL

@LouSteyl

“My mom always sang lullabies to mewhen I was small,” Simone Garcia

Marquez, the daughter of the late poet, In-grid Jonker recalls.That’s why she decided that setting her

words to music would be the perfect tributeto her mother who tragically killed herselfjust over 50 years ago.Simone, who now lives in Hout Bay with

her husband Ernesto Garcia Marques, wasa young girl when hermother passed away,but says says she means more and more toher as she grows older. “I now experienceher through her poems.”They recently released Ingrid Jonker –

Die Kind Is Nog Jonger features 36 musicaltributes performed and recorded by SouthAfrican artists, from stalwarts like AntonGoosen and Gert Vlok Nel to The SlashDogand Inge Beckmann.Each artist was randomly given a poem

to set tomusic and Simone says: “They real-ly gave us their own interpretation of In-grid’s poems.”Many of the musicians recorded their

songs on their own steamwith a big portionof the funding for the album coming froman IndieGoGo crowd funding campaign.While the process of curating, mastering

and completing Ingrid Jonker – Die Kind IsNog Jonger took about two years, Simonesays the idea for the album has been brew-ing formuch longer. In fact, shehad the idealong before Chris Chameleon released histwo tributes to Ingrid Jonker: Ek Herhaal

Jou and As Jy Weer Skryf in 2005 and 2011respectively.“That was great, because he did a fantas-

tic job,” Simone says, adding that the suc-cess of Chris’ albums paved the way for In-grid Jonker – Die Kind Is Nog Jonger.While she had spoken to a few artists al-

ready, it wasn’t until Simone married herhusband Ernesto of Sound Action in 2013,that he encouraged her to continuewith theproject.Ernesto is a huge supporter of SouthAfri-

can music and helped Simone round upsome of the musicians featured on the al-bum. “He’s known these artists for manyyears,” she says.The 36 acts featured on the album span

three generations, from the 1970s to now,along awide range of genres from popand rock, to avant-garde, electronic,and even punk and metal music.Eleven of the poems featured have

also been translated, making the al-bum accessible to both English andAfrikaans music fans.“There’s something there for every-

one,” Simone says.Once the album had been mastered

by Ernesto, they brought Paul Blomfrom Flamedrop Productions onboard, who helped them create thefinished product.

Ingrid Jonker – Die Kind Is NogJonger, which is available at CapeTown music stores Revolution andMabu and online at www.cdba-by.com, www.raru.co.za andwww.loot.co.za, was officially re-leased in June. Simone says it’s beenvery well received with music jour-nalist and musician Willim Welsynalready hailing it as the “tribute al-bum of the decade”.“It’s not like an ordinary CD,” Sim-

one explains. “It’s like a musical book.”A limited edition 12-track vinyl LP ver-

sion is set to be released this month. “Theysay our record could be a collector’s al-bum.”For Simone, the chance to share her

mother’s poetry not onlywith the artists in-volved with the project, but also music fanswho will be listening to it, is fulfilling.“That love of Ingrid Jonker’s poetry goes

on,” she explains.Fans of Ingrid’s poetry can celebrate her

work with Simone and Ernesto when theyhost a free Ingrid Jonker evening at ATouch ofMadness inObservatory onThurs-day 21 July.V For more information about Ingrid Jonker – DieKind Is Nog Jonger visit www.flamedrop.com/ingri-djonker or visit www.youtube.com/user/Flamedrop-Productions for a taste of the music.

Ernesto and Simone Garcia Marquez are payingtribute to Simone’s mother Ingrid Jonker with anew compilation album of her poetry set to music.

Poetry lives onthrough musicLOUISA STEYL

@LouSteyl

“My mom always sang lullabies to mewhen I was small,” Simone Garcia

Marquez, the daughter of the late poet, In-grid Jonker recalls.That’s why she decided that setting her

words to music would be the perfect tributeto her mother who tragically killed herselfjust over 50 years ago.Simone, who now lives in Hout Bay with

her husband Ernesto Garcia Marques, wasa young girl when hermother passed away,but says says she means more and more toher as she grows older. “I now experienceher through her poems.”They recently released Ingrid Jonker –

Die Kind Is Nog Jonger features 36 musicaltributes performed and recorded by SouthAfrican artists, from stalwarts like AntonGoosen and Gert Vlok Nel to The SlashDogand Inge Beckmann.Each artist was randomly given a poem

to set tomusic and Simone says: “They real-ly gave us their own interpretation of In-grid’s poems.”Many of the musicians recorded their

songs on their own steamwith a big portionof the funding for the album coming froman IndieGoGo crowd funding campaign.While the process of curating, mastering

and completing Ingrid Jonker – Die Kind IsNog Jonger took about two years, Simonesays the idea for the album has been brew-ing formuch longer. In fact, shehad the idealong before Chris Chameleon released histwo tributes to Ingrid Jonker: Ek Herhaal

Jou and As Jy Weer Skryf in 2005 and 2011respectively.“That was great, because he did a fantas-

tic job,” Simone says, adding that the suc-cess of Chris’ albums paved the way for In-grid Jonker – Die Kind Is Nog Jonger.While she had spoken to a few artists al-

ready, it wasn’t until Simone married herhusband Ernesto of Sound Action in 2013,that he encouraged her to continuewith theproject.Ernesto is a huge supporter of SouthAfri-

can music and helped Simone round upsome of the musicians featured on the al-bum. “He’s known these artists for manyyears,” she says.The 36 acts featured on the album span

three generations, from the 1970s to now,along awide range of genres from popand rock, to avant-garde, electronic,and even punk and metal music.Eleven of the poems featured have

also been translated, making the al-bum accessible to both English andAfrikaans music fans.“There’s something there for every-

one,” Simone says.Once the album had been mastered

by Ernesto, they brought Paul Blomfrom Flamedrop Productions onboard, who helped them create thefinished product.

Ingrid Jonker – Die Kind Is NogJonger, which is available at CapeTown music stores Revolution andMabu and online at www.cdba-by.com, www.raru.co.za andwww.loot.co.za, was officially re-leased in June. Simone says it’s beenvery well received with music jour-nalist and musician Willim Welsynalready hailing it as the “tribute al-bum of the decade”.“It’s not like an ordinary CD,” Sim-

one explains. “It’s like a musical book.”A limited edition 12-track vinyl LP ver-

sion is set to be released this month. “Theysay our record could be a collector’s al-bum.”For Simone, the chance to share her

mother’s poetry not onlywith the artists in-volved with the project, but also music fanswho will be listening to it, is fulfilling.“That love of Ingrid Jonker’s poetry goes

on,” she explains.Fans of Ingrid’s poetry can celebrate her

work with Simone and Ernesto when theyhost a free Ingrid Jonker evening at ATouch ofMadness inObservatory onThurs-day 21 July.V For more information about Ingrid Jonker – DieKind Is Nog Jonger visit www.flamedrop.com/ingri-djonker or visit www.youtube.com/user/Flamedrop-Productions for a taste of the music.

Ernesto and Simone Garcia Marquez are payingtribute to Simone’s mother Ingrid Jonker with anew compilation album of her poetry set to music.

Hit me with a Hot Note is designed to high-light the well-rounded and versatile disci-plinesTheWaterfrontTheatreCollege offers.Paul Griffiths, partner of the college, says:

“The opportunity for young artists to workin a professional theatre environment fur-ther enriches the practical training pro-gramme offered by the college and deepensthe understanding of thework they are train-ing to do.“

Some of the students performing in Hit mewith aHot Note, like third year student Suné-Lee; have alreadygained experience inprevi-ous productions.She’s been involved in Dancers Love Dogs

and Dance Me a Song at Artscape as well asthe Waterfront Theatre College’s productionMake Your Move last year.When she isn’t busy completing her teach-

ing diplomas in modern, hip-hop and ballet,Suné-Lee is also a dancer for the DHL Storm-ers and amodel and performing artist at Top-co Models and dances at various corporateevents in and around Cape Town.Claudia has been involved with corporate

work aswell and even danced for a Sony com-mercial. She also danced inMake YourMove,along with the college’s choreography com-petitions in both 2015 and 2016.In addition to highlighting the best of the

ANoordhoekmother has recentlyreturned from competing over-seas where she represented hercountry in as a silk aerialist.Gabriela Sissons was the 2nd

runner-up in the Airstars Asia-Pacific Championship in Chinaand 1st runner-up in the APPARussian Aerial Championshipheld in Vladivostock. She alsowon the International Aerial Per-formance Championship in HongKong last year after only a year ofdoing the sport.Aerial Silks is a type of perform-

ance inwhich one performs aerialacrobatics while hanging from aspecial fabric. Performers climbthe suspended fabric without the

use of safety lines, and rely onlyon their training and skill to en-sure safety.Theyuse the fabric towrap, sus-

pend, fall, swing, and spiral theirbodies into and out of various po-sitions.“A friend ofmine suggested try-

ing a class as she thought it wouldbe right up my alley, and she wasright – I was hooked after my firstclass,” Sissons says.“The combination of dancing

high up in the air combined withadrenaline and flight tugs at thevery core of my heart strings! Ifeel alive up there; I get to put myheart and soul on a plate while Iam performing.”Sissons choreographs her own

routines and designs her ownelaborate costumes.

“I feel that it wasmy choreogra-phy and performance ability thatgave me the winning edge. I loveperforming to an audience. I leavemy heart up there when I fly.”When Sissons is training for a

competition, she tries to get asmany hours of practice in as shecan. This is usually about four tosix hours a week, and is a combi-nation of climbing drills, stretch-ing, weight training and “a bit ofCrossfit”.A photographer by profession,

as well as a wife and a mother oftwo boys, Sissons says findingtime to practice her passion canbe difficult.Sissons plans to compete in –

and win – the next internationalperformance championship inHong Kong.

nate a gift of a can or bag of dog food, or evenblankets, for a charity that cares for dogs.For that project his target was 250 items

but this year he’s going bigger.“I want to build on my ‘success’ and we’re

The Western Cape EMS’s specialised pae-diatric retrieval, including neonatal

transfer (Sprint) team have been boosted bythe dontaion of a transport ventilator worthover R723 000 from the Children’s HospitalTrust on Thursday 7 July.HamiltonMedical Group donated the ven-

tilator to the children’s hospital for them tohand over to the Sprint team. The aim of theproject is to ensure the safe and effectiveemergency transport of critically ill babiesand children under the age of 13.The provincial health deepartment re-

ports that in the period from Sunday 1 No-vember 2015 to Sunday 31 January, 289transfers were performed by a single paedi-atric flying squad (PFS) vehicle.“Approximately 31 children are trans-

ferred to the Red Cross Children’s Hospitaleach month. Eighteen of these children areventilated. This new equipment will benefitat least 216 children a year, who are someof the sickest and most unstable patients tovisit the hospital. We are very excited to seethe new ventilators rolled out in the paediat-ric flying squad ambulance, contributing tothe safe and effective emergency transporta-tion of critically ill babies and children,”says CEO for the Children’s Hospital Trust,Louise Driver.Gordon Blair, area sales manager for Ha-

miltonMedical says the ventilator has someunique features on it.“We don’t require compressed air; most

ventilators require compressed air and oxy-gen. This machine has a built-in turbine, soit sucks in ambient air and uses that. It alsohas automaticmotor ventilation on it wheremeasures someof the factors on the lung and

automatically sets appropriate settings forthat patient,” he says.Dr. Baljit Cheema, paediatric emergency

specialist working with EMS, says that tak-ing delivery of the newest technology ena-bles paramedics to obtain more reliable in-formation when treating patients, particu-larly undersized newborn babies.“This ventilator can ventilate babies

weighing down to 200g. We have babies of700g to 900g and they are difficult to ventilatewhen you cannot control the settings sowell,” she says.She explains the new ventilator does not

only control the pressures and volume of airgoing into and out of the system, but it alsomeans that paramedics will no longer be re-quired to put a tubedown thebaby’s trachea,as would be the case with the older ventila-tors, which eliminates an element of risk.“Thenewerwayof ventilating is non-inva-

sive. We can also, with this machine, moni-tor the gasses which come out of the baby’slungs. So it will tell us howwell we are venti-lating the baby or if there is a problem withthe tube, which we can’t do otherwise. It isgoing to allowus to transport very small andvery sick children and babies much moresafely,” Cheema adds.She confirms the new ventilator will only

be used in the two paediatric flying squadvehicles and that Hamilton Medical alsosupplied themwith consumables, which hasallowed them to be able to use the equipmentimmediately. “Those are very expensiveitems. Every patient needs a separate circuitand the interface with the tube and the nose;those are all expensive. The donation in-cludes enoughconsumables to start upusingthe ventilator for all sizes of babies, so thatis fantastic for us, because we can use it asof today.”

A rejuvenated Stanturf Unitedside turned the game on itshead, fought back remarka-

bly well and silenced their criticswith a come-from-behind 4-3 victo-ry against Strandfontein in a SafaCape Town Coca-Cola Cup matchon Sunday.The all-Mitchell’s Plain LFA der-

by in the round of the last 64 wasa game that had a bit of everything– including drama in which twoplayers from the Strandfonteinside, namely Chad Jones in thefirst half and Shamiel Young dur-ing the second half, receivedmarching orders from referee An-war Alexander for a deliberatehandball and dangerous play re-spectively.Although the “Seagulls” were

playing on their home turf at theStrandfontein sports complex,they had to be content to finish thishigh intensity game with nineplayers.Strandfontein were foolish to be

reduced to nine players and nodoubt brought it upon themselves– though they gave it their all, they

were pressurised by a transformedand aggressive Stanturf side whowere equally determined to pro-ceed to the next round.Asa result, StanturfUnited’s vic-

tory will see them pitting theirskills against Young Pirates of Hei-develd LFA on Sunday 24 July inthe round of the last 32.Besides Jeanne Valentyn’s Stan-

turfUnited,BeaconSpurs is theon-ly other team fromMitchell’s Plainwho are amongst the survivingcontestants while Liverpool-Port-land, Juventus, Cedar UnitedHeinz Park, Ashley Rovers, High-lands Park, Juventus and LeedsLentegeur all joined Strandfonteinin making an exit.Eric Davey, a club official of

Stanturf United, says the playersheld their nerve and came back aft-er being 2-1 down to score threegoals in the secondhalf andwin thegame 4-3.“I think we were just a different

side after the changeover and ourendurance and skill on the ballwere the key factors to our match-winning success,” adds Davey.For the Seagulls, SeanleighGlad-

den scored a brace and Ian Floris

added the third goal while Abdul-lah Davis, Marlon Opperman (2)and Monray van Niekerk scoredfor Stanturf United.

. Liverpool Portland blew it.After having held a comfortable 2-0cushion against Grassy Park Unit-ed, they ended level 3-3 at normaltime and lost 7-6 on penalties in aninteresting shootout challenge inwhich both teams were successfulwith their first five compulsoryspot kicks.In another exciting and see-saw

game both goalkeepers – KurtTimm (Cedar United) and NazierStoffels (FC Orient) – were equal tothe task and brought off a few ex-cellent saves that produced goodentertainment.With that in mind FC Orient

shaded Cedar United 2-1 and willmeet their Manenberg neighboursD&G Orient (who beat TottenhamHotspurs 1-0) in the next round.Rushen Abrahams in the no.3

shirt is a livewire and a bundle ofenergy and it showed on the fieldas he helped himself to two goalswith the decisive winning goalcoming in the 83rd minute.Cedar United scored first in the

first half through Nazeem Cloetewhile Orient’s Dale America andGareth Syms caught the eye withgood dribbling touches.Also at Strandfontein, the Athlo-

ne LFA side, SSSAcademywon thenine-goal contest battle againstHeinz Park ofMitchell’s Plainwitha 6-3 result.Super-sub Isma-eel (Gallie) Val-

entine will be remembered morefor scoring five of the goals for SSSAcademy.Meanwhile Young Idols – the de-

fending champs – entered the last32, thanks to goals from DurandMitchell and Shannon Hendricks –they beat Greenwood Athletic 2-1in Manenberg and will face three-

time former champions James-town United in their next game.Draw for the roundof 32 in the

Coca-Cola Cup: Young Pirates vsStanturf United, Ashford Athleticvs Glendene United, Hustlas t Lan-ga Citizens, Wesfleur vs SSS Acad-emy, Wesley United vs Two ForJoy, Spenston vs Melchester Rov-ers, Eleven Attackers vs BeaconSpurs, Everton Spurs vs Florenti-na, FCG Hotspurs vs Cape TownMilitary, Grassy Park United vsCrystal Palace, Rygersdal vs DelftBadgers, TUBS vs Silver Spurs,Central vs Stephanian Ottery, FCOrient vs D&GOrient, Young Idolsvs Jamestown United and UnitedFC vs Ace Mates.

ing played over the two days, but the specta-tors will also enjoy great music, deliciousfood and kiddies entertainment that hasbeen lined up for both days.South Africa’s top club hockey teams con-

sisting of multiple national and provincialplayers from KwaZulu-Natal, Gauteng andWestern Province, will battle it out from11:00 for the prize money and prestigiousGreenfields Elite Club Challenge title. Someof the other teams include Riverside HockeyClub,MalikOldAlbaniansHockeyClub,OldEdwardiansHockey Club, KearsneyHockeyClub and the Wanderers Hockey Club.According to the Tournament Director of
