CAPRI VILLAGE

Plea to curb crimeMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

Residents want a fence between Capriand Blackhill Road and have even of-fered to give half of the funds needed.

This appeal comes from the Capri Neigh-bourhood Watch amid fears of rising crimelevels.A presentation on behalf of theWatch was

made to the South Peninsula subcouncil lastweekbyTrishWood, chairperson of the Sun-nydale Ratepayers’ Association (SRA).She explained the SRAwas asked to repre-

sent theWatch in calling on the City of CapeTown to erect a fence.

Wood said an illegal pedestrian pathwayhad been created through the thick alienvegetation, which allowed people to accessCapri from Blackhill Road. This, she said,has led to crime. Wood stated Capri had ahigh crime rate and 50% of it occurred inthis area.TheWatch requested that the City remove

the vegetation and fence off the area to getrid of the pedestrian walkway betweenBlackhill Road and Tobago Way.Wood also had a letter from Fish Hoek po-

lice that states Capri has the highest crimerate in sector 2.He said the area was affected by property-

related crimes such as house break-ins,

thefts and a few cases of robbery.“While police have no role in the request

[to erect a fence] we are thankful to thosewhomake an effort to address crime in part-nership with the police.”Wood explained the Watch was willing to

raise 50% of the funds needed for the erec-tion of the fence. “They are prepared to fundup to R100 000 and we hope this shows thecouncil that we are acting in good faith andbelieve this could be mutually beneficial.”In response, South Peninsula subcouncil

chairpersonFelicityPurchase said they sup-ported the appeal and would submit a mo-tion to the council.Councillor Simon Liell-Cock said he re-

membered a proposal to fence the area a fewyears ago to keep baboons out. “Is it not thisNeighbourhood Watch that opposed that?”he asked. Wood said she was unsure aboutthe earlier proposal but explained the cur-rent appeal related to crime and vagrancy.Speaking after themeeting, Purchase said

a fence had been erected when Capri wassubdividedmore than 20 years ago but it hasfallen down.“Weare liaising with the relevant officials

and if they cannot assist with funds, I mayuse ward allocation funds, but that will onlybe available in the new financial year.”V What are your thoughts? Starting with the word“Post”, SMS your views to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

TOURISM

By cable car from city to Signal Hill?A funicular, tram or cableway could

soon link the city centre to the noondaygunandSignalHill if Sanparkshas

a say.Such a “mechanical people mover” is on

the cards in a management plan it has draft-ed to boost tourism.Table Mountain National Park (TMNP),

managed by Sanparks, has released its draftmanagement plan for the next ten years. Thepublic is invited to comment on it.

Something oldA large portion of the plan is dedicated toboosting tourism numbers, which in turnwill fund conservation, heritage and constit-uency building.This entails upgrading a range of existing

tourist spots.First on the list for an upgrade is Boulders

Beach, which sees 650 000 annual visitors.Visits are growing by over 5% a year. Thevisitor facilitywill be redesigned to enhance

visitor experience and visitor flow, the planstates. Other upgrades include the board-walks, parking area and interpretive infor-mation.A proposed upgrade of Cape Pointmay see

infrastructure improvements to the roads,water pipeline and sewerage system, as wellas the visitor centre.The Rhodesmemorial sitemay also see in-

frastructure upgrades. An investigation isunderway to explore uses for the old zoo sitethere, which could serve as a “gateway” tothe Groote Schuur estate and the park.The Tokai Manor area is also in line for

upgrades, according to the plan. It proposesdeveloping the area into a “vibrant multi-purpose gateway to the parkwhere the envi-ronmental, cultural and social significanceof the area is celebrated through the restora-tion of [the Tokai Manor and surrounds]”.An upgrade of the Signal Hill and Tafel-

berg roads interchange is needed, accordingto the plan, which sees 1.2 million visitors.

This would tie into new developments in theStrand Street quarry.

Something newTo improve access to Table Mountain, San-parks is currently investigating implement-ing a “mechanical peoplemover”whichwilllink theStrandStreet quarry to theLionBat-tery and Signal Hill. This could lead to arange of visitor facilities at the noonday gunand Signal Hill.The management plan also proposes to

make use of other quarries in the City Bowlfor a variety of “low-volume multi-useevents”.Silvermine is also set for development,

with the establishment of a picnic area onthe southern side of Silvermine Dam as wellas re-use of theGroot SilvermineHomesteadas a visitor site linked to Peers Cave and theSunbird Education Centre.The Silvermine Source-to-Sea project will

be implemented to rehabilitate the river sys-

tems and promote recreational links be-tween the urban environment and the park.The plan also looks atwaterways, with the

idea of linking the diversity of the terrestrialenvironment with that of the ocean throughthe establishment of a “marine gateway tothe Southern oceans”.“The purpose of this gateway would be to

promote the wonders of the ocean througha variety of marine-based research and ma-rine enforcement,” the plan states.A site for this gateway is still being identi-

fied.The plan serves as a reference to the man-

agement and development of the Park in itscurrent and envisaged future form.The plan includes information on the

background, biophysical context, desiredstate, management and programmes at stra-tegic and operational levels.V The full plan can be viewed on the Sanparks website.Public comment can be submitted until Saturday 9May.

DOG-FRIENDLY BEACHES

Debate at barking levelMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

As the debate heats up over proposednew rules to guide which beachesaround the south peninsula are ani-

mal-friendly, dog walkers are making suretheir opinions are heard too.Armedwith posters and submissions, sev-

eral Far South residents filled the subcoun-cil chamber in Fish Hoek last week to showtheir concern about some of the new demar-cations.The matter first arose in November last

year when councillors were asked to reviewthe proposed changes and make a decision.However, theybelievedmore consultation

was needed and postponed the matter.Public participation on the issue opened

earlier this month and residents have wast-ed no time in having their say.Speaking during the South Peninsula sub-

councilmeeting lastweek, TarynBlyth,whorepresented theFriends ofDogWalkers, TheEmma Animal Rescue Society (TEARS) andKommetjie Canine College, said she be-lieved the current proposals sought to dothree things.

Firstly, she argued, the proposals soughtto remove dog walkers from several areaswhich are popular.Secondly, it sought to restrict dogs to

leashes where they currently walk freely.Lastly, it sought to introduce time share onbeaches.According to Blyth’s submission, the pro-

posals fail to recognise that outside peakhol-iday season, South Peninsula beaches areused by few people except dog walkers.“No account is taken of the effect of leash-

ing dogs. Leads do not prevent conflict be-tween dogs and in many cases actually in-crease conflict. Dogs are generally more re-active towards strange people and dogswhen on lead as leads prevent dogs from en-gaging innormal behaviour,” she explained.Several residents agreedwhenBlythhigh-

lighted the time-share proposalswhich limitdogwalkers to dusk and dawn. She said theyfound this grossly unfair as dog walkersmade up the majority of beach users andthese times made them vulnerable to crimi-nal elements.The submission raises concerns about

various beaches and makes alternative pro-posals for some demarcations.

At Long Beach in Kommetjie, Blythwrites, the beach is not a bathing beach andnot safe for people to walk without dogs.She explains the beach is mostly used by

surfers and dog walkers who do not comeinto conflict.“Closing the proposed section of the

beach to dog walkers will remove access tothe two car parks on Benning Drive, forc-ing people to use Wireless Road, which ismore isolated and increases security risksfor dog walkers.”The submission also highlights concerns

about Fish Hoek, Glencairn, Misty Cliffsand Shelley beaches.Blyth urged the councillors to consider

the role recreation plays in the emotionaland physical health of residents.Subcouncil chairperson Felicity Pur-

chase thanked the residents for attendingand explained all submissions would beconsidered before a final decision is made.The comment period for the proposed

new demarcations closes on Thursday.V For more information, and to submit comments,contact Helen Jordaan at 021 400 1691, [email protected] or [email protected].

FIRE DAMAGE

City prepares for rainInanattempt to reduce the risk of floodingand mudslides after the recent fires onthe South Peninsula mountains, the City

of Cape Town has startedwork on high-riskareas of the mountainside.According to a statement released last

week, the vegetation which normally holdssoils in place has been destroyed by the fireand these conditions place some locationsof the mountainside at risk of destabilisa-tion in very wet weather.This, the statement says, may result in

mudslides and flooding.The work planned includes the installa-

tion of silt-trapping fences at various loca-tions, the placement of gabion structures toreinforce slopes and trap loose rock andsediments and the creation of sandbagberms along some roads to cut off and redi-rect excessive flows.Special attention is also being given to en-

suring that existing stormwater infrastruc-

ture is kept clean throughout the winter.Although the work will continue

throughout winter, the likelihood of flood-ing depends on the severity of the comingrains.Intense storms, especially early in the

season, may overwhelm the City’s best ef-forts.With this in mind, residents who think

that their properties may be threatened areadvised to also do some work within theirproperty boundaries.For instance, if there is a threat of severe

flooding and debris flowing through theproperty, homeowners should use sand-bags to try and direct excess flow in sucha way that damage to the property is mini-mised.V For more information contact the asset manage-ment and maintenance district office on021 710 8003 or [email protected] report blocked drains call 0800 65 64 63.

NOORDHOEK

Poubelle takes final bow wowPerforming Poubelle, the illustrious

singing dog, has taken his last breath.He was laid to rest in his favourite

spot, next to the little lighthouse was builtby Poubelle’s constant companion, musi-cian Monique Martine, with the ocean astheatrical backdrop.The lighthouse served as theatre stage for

Poubelle’s first Christmas carol concert.Accompanied by Martine on guitar, the

puppy seduced members of the media in thecostume of one of Martine’s preschool musi-cal virtuosos. “I am not a dog, I am SandyClaws,” sang he.Poubelle had unconventional attributes

and performing antics.He passed away exactly eight years to the

day after national reporters at an award cer-emony had singled him out as “spunky”, aterm the cute and courageous canine livedup to throughout his career.Having devoted a considerable portion of

his life to raising funds for charities, for dogsterilisation and against animal abuse, hehimself was confined to a wheelchair priorto his swansong performance.This was captured in the biographical lyr-

ics ofThe final bowwow, whichMartine ded-icated to him.He took the offer of a performing artiste’s

disability grant.An exceptionally attentive listener, Pou-

belle’s head would tilt politely from side toside, absorbing Martine’s amended instruc-tions backstage at Artscape, before pawingan impatient request to end the doggy dia-logue and allow him to sing, much to theamusement of the cast.The unique name,Poubelle (“dustbin” in

French) which he earned early last decadewhilst Monique was rehabilitating his scav-enger inclination, was subsequently plagia-rised internationally by movie makers, mu-sicians and dog lovers as Poubelle rose tostardom.

Watch plans the year aheadMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

Car guards, beggars, drugdealing, poach-ing and changes to its constitutionwere the main topics discussed at a re-

cent Komwatch meeting.Held at the community hall, several resi-

dents, members and patrollers gathered todiscuss various issues.

Chairperson Alastair Mackie gave a com-parison in crime statistics and said the sea-side suburb experienced a spike in crimeover certain periods.

He explained that while there had been adrop in burglaries the community was beinghit hard by professional criminals.

“They come in vehicles and have oftenwatched properties closely. They know whatthey want and get in and out quickly,” hesaid.

Following a donation by a resident, Kom-watch was preparing to install licence platerecognition cameras to keep a close eye onvehicles entering and leaving Kommetjie.

Mackie raised an earlier incident wherea stolen vehicle was being driven in Kom-metjie. The driver attempted to rob and staba resident in Arum Avenue.

“Ifwehad the camera systemwewould au-tomatically get the alert as thevehicle entersKommetjie and we would be able to react im-mediately.”

One of the main issues the neighbourhoodwatch plans to tackle in coming months isthe increase in loitering and begging. Mack-ie cautioned members against giving hand-outs to people begging in the area and saidthis only helped fuel drug addiction.

“When you see the lady sitting with herbaby begging, don’t give her money. Any-

thing you give will go towards drug moneyand many of these people are fed by the feed-ing schemes. If you are going to give themmoney, you might as well buy the packet oftik yourself,” he said.

Mackie also raised concerns about drugdealers and poachers and said they operatedquite freely and avoided detection.

Komwatch is also undertaking a car guardproject in which four men who have beencleared by police will receive bibs indicatingthey are officials guards.

The bibs would have identity cards which

Mackie said would help if there was an inci-dent. The project had also been approved bythe community police forum.

Members also approved and discussedvarious changes to the Komwatch constitu-tion. Mackie explained the organisation wasformerly known as the Kommetjie Neigh-bourhood Watch but as the name Komwatchwas already well-known, the constitutionneeded to be amended.

There were also various amendmentswhich affect meeting quorums, funds andproxy votes.

The new committee was also finalised andMackie announced he would not stand onthe new committee.

He explained after helping for six years,therewasaneed for somechanges andcalledon members to volunteer their time.

He also appealed to younger members totake up the reigns and assist the rapid re-sponse team (RRT).

Members applauded and thanked Mackiefor his contribution.V In emergencies call the RRT on 082 327 7783. Formore information email [email protected].

Komwatch has undertaken a car guard project which will see those cleared to watch cars wear bibs and identity cards. PHOTO: MONIQUE DUVAL

‘Fire haunts me’MONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

“You need to come home,your house is on fire.”These words would

send most of us into a frenzy.For Dalene Cogill from Ocean

View, her neighbour’swords, spo-ken more than seven months ago,continue to haunt her.Sitting on the porch as the sun

sets over the mountainside com-munity, Cogill recalls how she satin a line at Groote Schuur Hospi-tal waiting to make her next ap-pointment when she received acall informing her that her Carna-tion Street home was going up inflames.“My son had just left home

when the fire started. They told us it wasan electrical fault that caused the fire,” shesays. Theblaze started in themainbedroomon the top level and quickly spread.She was able to salvage many of her pos-

sessions in the kitchen and lounge but aftermonths of being targeted by thieves, theOcean View mother fears the upcomingwinter months.She worked as a cleaner in Kalk Bay and

Westlake and says her employer helped herin the first few days after the fire.“ShegavemeR5000 tohelpmerebuildbut

we had nowhere to sleep. So I took themon-ey and bought this wendy house, but theskelms (thieves) havemade the whole thingworse,” she says.While moving some of her possessions,

Cogill’s cellphone was stolen. She explainswith no number she has been unable to con-tact her former employer.When the family moved into the wendy

house, opportunistic thieves made holes inthe walls and stole various items.“Theycame throughhereand stole every-

thing,” she says while lifting a panel expos-ing a hole in the wall.NowCogill plans to rebuild her home and

her life. She recently received a voucherfrom Mica in Fish Hoek and explains thishas given her a head start.“In the beginning, I was so worried about

keeping the little I have safe and I also lostmy job. My house was my pride. I workedmy whole life to make sure my child hada good place to come home to.”Proportional councillor Patricia Francke

made an appeal for assistance last week.“This is a very difficult situation and Da-

lene is such a good worker. We are tryingto find her employment so she can rebuild.This is a very sad story,” she says.V If you would like to help, call Cogill on 072 091 9046and Francke on 079 588 2305.

Dalene Cogill sits outside her home which went up inflames last year.

Do you remember the first book you read?Maybe it was a fairy-tale, in which a beautiful princess

was saved by a strong and dependable prince, or the ad-ventures of little animals as they relied on their friend-ship to escape dangers.Maybe your first book was a religious text, telling of

great miracles and teaching you how to live a good life.How many of us have lost ourselves in an adventure

or a love story, unable to stop turning the pages?As World Book Day was celebrated last week, readers

across the world picked up their favourite books.However, amongst our children – and even ourselves–

reading has become a dying past-time.We have turned the TV, radio or computer on, leaving

our books gathering dust.A great pity, as those very books contain life lessons

and a means to escape the dullness of our reality.But reading is more than just an escape.Themental stimulationof reading can slow thedevelop-

ment of diseases such Alzheimer’s and Dementia. Read-ingwill alsoboost yourvocabularyand improveyourgen-eral knowledge and memory.Regular readers have also been proven to have better

concentration and focus. They are also better analyticalthinkers, studies show.And many of these benefits can be carried over to chil-

dren, especially when their parents read to them from ayoung age.These children have been found to develop stronger ac-

ademically.Reading to your children will help them develop lan-

guage skills as well as concentration and logic.Instead of celebrating World Book Day once a year, it

should be celebrated every day.Switch off the TV or computer and curl up with a good

book, sharing the story with your family.

Keep Glencairn beach dog-friendlyI was horrified to read “Pooches onbeaches” (People’s Post, 7 April) of theproposed changes by the City of Townfor animal beach zones in which it isproposed to make Glencairn Beach a ‘nodog’ zone. I have lived above GlencairnBeach for over 40 years and as a doglover have enjoyed walking here andwatching my dog run free on the beach.My dog is well socialised with bothpeople and other dogs with a CanineGood Citizen certificate to prove it.Glencairn Beach is not the most

crowded of beaches except on exception-ally hot days in summer and duringpeak season, in which case most localswalk their dogs early in the morning.During the week it is relatively quietand in winter practically deserted apartfrom people walking dogs. I have abird’s eye view from my home.Much negativity has been given to

dogs and their faeces. Most Glencairnresidents pick up after their dogs andthose seen not doing so are reprimandedand handed a bag.Furthermore, it is the early morning

dog walkers who pick up rubbish that

was washed up by the tide overnightand we clean up the litter left byinconsiderate beachgoers. This appliesin particular to the tidal pool area.Please ban them.Glencairn Beach is probably one of

the safest beaches on which to walk.There are many elderly people who walktheir dogs and who are therefore morevulnerable. The health benefits arewell-known. While I have a dog walkers’card for Table Mountain National Park,walking the mountain alone is not anoption given the latest crime statistics.Also, I live right next to Glencairn

Beach. Must I now get into my car,thereby adding to the traffic congestionand increasing my carbon footprint, togo to a dog free beach elsewhere? Is thatenvironmentally friendly?To those city officials who want to

make Glencairn Beach a no dog zone,come and see the beach that the City ofCape Town has neglected since it tookover from the Simon’s Town municipali-ty. Come and see, among other, thedisintegrating tidal pool; crumblingwalkway where large chunks of concrete

have broken loose during the recentspring tide; alien vegetation (rooikrans)encroaching the walkway and encourag-ing vagrancy, about which I havecomplained to the city with no result;the mounds of kelp that collects underthe bridges blocking our access to thebeach and over which we have to slipand slide because the city will notremove it. It is a ‘natural/normal’beach. Finally, come and see how thelocals with their four legged friendsinteract with each other in the morningsadding to our wellbeing. Are you goingto deprive us of that?I think a compromise needs to be

made for the benefit of all beach uses.During the season dogs should bepermitted to run free before 09:00 andafter 17:00. I agree that dogs should notbe running free on a crowded beach.With the beach being on my doorstep,

I am totally opposed to Glencairn Beachbeing declared a no dog zone.This is a passionate plea for our

community and man’s best friend.DIANA DEEKS,

Glencairn

Verges are side walksResponding to the article “Residentsand school meet” (People’s Post, 7April). My suggestion that morechildren should be encouraged to walkand cycle to school was not mentioned.At the meeting this was dismissed as“too dangerous”. Here is my argument:No, we do not own our verges, the

City [of Cape Town] does and yes, weare expected to maintain them.It is a bit of a contradiction. We are

not supposed to plant anything on, orremove trees from our verges. Bearingthat in mind, the best plan, in myopinion, is to make our verges as niceas possible, while allowing adequatespace for pedestrians to pass withouthaving to walk in the road.Mowing the grass (or replacing it

with porous stones) and trimming thetrees so that they are easy to walkunder is not a big job.And it makes the outside of your

home look neat and attractive. If youare going to do anything extra, it isbest to plant indigenous water-wiseplants only.That way we do the least damage to

the environment and may evenincrease the biodiversity in the area.Using the verge to plant veggies andherbs is another way to increase thevalue of it for the community. Forsome, the reason they plant alienagaves and cactuses all over theirverges is actually to prevent peoplewalking on them.Some verges also have large rocks

and other obstructions on them.This is really not acceptable as we

want to encourage walking in oursuburb. A compromise can be found byplanting indigenous spikey plantsalong the wall, leaving the rest of theverge for walking.Crime and cars can be ultimately

reduced by encouraging more pedestri-ans and cyclists in the community.The more cyclists and pedestrians,

the fewer cars! Fewer cars means lessfumes and safer walking and cycling.More pedestrians and cyclists meansless crime as the streets are populatedand watched by more residents atground level.

Beach good for dogsand humansDogs should be allowed to run, chaseballs, fetch seaweed from the sea, playwith other dogs. Dogs need much moreexercise than is possible tied to a lead,and the beach beyond the little “light-house” is safe for them to run along.People who use that beach have theadded pleasure of seeing happy dogs. Idon’t have a dog and it is not only dogowners who know that the beach is goodfor dogs as well as humans. Let the dogsthere be free.

GILLIAN VIGNE,Email

Why shoulddogs suffer?It is with great sadness, annoyance andanger that I react to the article “Pooch-es on Beaches” (People’s Post, 7 April).Obviously the people who propose theselaws are not dog-lovers and havepersuaded the municipality to putblinkers on and just ‘ban, ban, ban’ it.How very narrow-minded! This hasobviously not been fairly thoughtthrough. What I want to know is whyare you banning dogs from having somefun on the beaches? I have been walkingand had my dog swimming at Fish Hoekbeach, Muizenberg, Zandvlei and thenearby Green belts, for years. I have yetto see a dog fight or any other negativeissue. I only see happy dogs, runningwith joie de vivre as they enjoy theirfreedom and happy dogs greeting otherdogs with a wag. I have never seen anyaggression. Whenever there is aggres-sion amongst dogs it is inevitablybecause they are restrained on a leash.When they can run free, most dogs donot fight. These new rules want ourdogs to be on leads - and that is askingfor dog fights. Also the times madeavailable to walk the dogs are ridiculousand most unfair. Can you just imaginethe congestion on the beaches – it willbe total chaos! If it is litter that is theproblem then think again, because 99%of the litter on the beaches is because ofman. Then there is the matter of dogpoo, which I think is the only litter dogsleave make on the beach. It is a simplematter of popping a plastic bag in one’spocket before one takes one’s dog for awalk. Poop and scoop is a must overseasand should be so in our country too.Some green belts (who are open-minded)provide a plastic container, which is fullof bags. A poo bag container could beerected at each end of the beach andparking area. There is no excuse for notpicking up the dog poo. The municipali-ty could help to provide some more binsalong the beach – not only for dog poo,but for all the human rubbish lying onthe beach. Now that would be doingsomething positive for the communityand also educating the people at thesame time. Secondly, all dog ownersshould take responsibility for theiranimals and should keep them undercontrol. That does not mean that dogsmust be kept on a lead all the time, butit does mean that dogs should be able torespond to an instruction from theirowners. If they can’t control their dogs,then don’t take them out in public. It isbeing selfish towards non dog ownersand also towards law-abiding dogowners. If this new law is to be en-forced, then some sort of patrol willhave to be provided (more jobs becomeavailable?). So, if some sort of patrol isto be provided to ensure that there areno dogs on the beach, or that they areon a lead, then surely that same em-ployed person could just as well sendthe guilty parties off the beach if theyor their dogs are misbehaving? Whymust we all suffer and why should ourdogs suffer? We can live together andwe can make it work. Just be positive!Come on dog lovers – let’s fight this one– it is a ridiculous, selfish law proposedfor the benefit of a few grumpies whohave to moan about everything. Dogowners, you owe it to man’s best friendto let him have his moment of joy onthe beach and in the sea.

YOUTH

Barefoot for a good causeCan you go barefoot for a day?

In a time when South African debatesare creating division among its citi-

zens, a group of students at the Universityof the Western Cape (UWC) launched a cam-paign to unify South Africans.

Barefoot Thursday for Africa is a cam-paign that challenges Africans to assist fel-low Africans in need.

Growing up in a village in the EasternCape, Mongezi Mabena was the only one inhis group of friends who owned a pair ofshoes.He sayshe felt so embarrassedbyhav-ing a pair of shoes that he would take themoff immediately when he came home fromschool and hide them from his friends.

Mabena is 20-years-old now, a BCommfirst year student at UWC and a Leaders’Quest Alumnus at youth development NPOSalesian Life Choices based in Lansdowne.

Today, Mabena still feels a deep connec-tion for children and equality – his motiva-tion to launch Barefoot Thursday for Africa,an initiative that encourages people to gobarefoot every Thursday to highlight theneed for shoes in South Africa and inspirethose who have shoes to donate to those whodon’t.

Why Thursday?Mabena – the founder of the campaign –

saw two street children barefoot on a Thurs-day while visiting Gugulethu.

This encounter took his thoughts back togrowing up where he was the only one whohad a pair of shoes.

Mabena says: “The experience raised a lotof questions in my mind. For example: if Af-rica belongs to all those that live in it, howis it possible for one African to own 25 pairsof shoes whilst another African does noteven have one pair? Does the African ideolo-gy only exist in our minds? I felt a deep de-sire to do something about it.”

This experience led Mabena to go to his

classes barefoot the following Thursday.He was taken aback by the interest he got

from his fellow students and those workingat the university.

“Students kept approaching me to askwhy I was barefoot, this gave me an opportu-nity to share the story and create awarenessaround the topic,” says Mabena.

By the end of the day, he had received do-nations of shoes, with some students givinghim the shoes that they had on.

“I was shocked by how many students

wanted to help and soon we had a group ofstudents that worked together to develop theBarefoot Thursday for Africa concept,” hesays.

Today all members of the organisation –most of them students at UWC – go to classesbarefoot on Thursdays to raise awarenessfor the cause.

According to theDepartment ofBasicEdu-cation there are over seven million childrenin South Africa living without shoes.

Understanding that the need for shoes is

more than just superficial, Barefoot Thurs-day for Africa highlights the important needfor shoes in Africa’s impoverished commu-nities in preventing and reducing trauma,hookworm and parasitic diseases affectingindividuals who go barefoot for long periodsof time.

“Most people do not know the far reachingconsequences of being barefoot for long peri-ods of time and we want to raise awarenessand educate people,” Mabena says.

“We also want to promote Ubuntu and toraise awareness about the differences thathave destroyed the unity of Africa as a conti-nent. We asked people to donate a pair ofshoes to those who don’t have. In the firstweek we received more than 15 pairs ofshoes. It really showed that people want toget involved in helping the lives of their fel-low African brothers and sisters.”

Barefoot Thursday for Africa aims to col-lect 300 pairs of shoes to donate to people liv-ing in need across the Western Cape.

“In order to reach our goal we havereached out to non-profit organisations toassist us in finding children in need – wedon’t only aim to give to centres but also tochildren living in family homes that are inneed,” says Barefoot for Africa memberPheliwe Tamba.

“Barefoot for Africa’s main goal is toprove that Africans can do much betterwhen they are working together because webelieve that we have been separated for toolong. It is time to bring change to the conti-nent ourselves,” Mabena adds.

This unifying cause, born from the youth,exemplifies ways in which we can bringabout positive change by reinforcing initia-tives that inspire Africans to connect and ac-tively tackle the problems we are facing to-day as a nation.V For more information on Barefoot Thursday for Afri-ca and how to get involved contact [email protected] or contact Mongezi on 076 579 5211.

Innovator helps parentscare for children at homeThe simple act of breathing is difficult or impossiblefor some children.

But with the Breatheasy programme at Red CrossChildren’s Hospital parents with technology-de-pendent children will now be able to look after themat home.

The multi-disciplinary programme, co-ordinatedby Sister Jane Booth, trains parents to take over thecare for their technology-dependent children fromthe medical team at the hospital.

“We strive to recognise and support thefamilies who provide extraordinary spe-cial care to their technology-dependentchildren at home,” Booth says.

Booth says the programme also im-proves the child’s quality of life, meetstheir developmental needs and preventsthe psycho-social complications of long-term hospitalisation.

“They feel safe and secure growing upwithin their families, are integrated intotheir own communities and eventuallywill be able to contribute to society atlarge,” she says.

What makes this programme unique isthat the parents (families) have to takecomplete responsibility for the care oftheir children at home, because as yetthere are no paediatric home-based car-ers in the community.

Booth and her Breatheasy programmewere recently included in a health inno-vators booklet from the Bertha Centre forSocial Innovation in recognition of her in-tegral role in foundingand facilitating theprogramme.

As a result, the programme was one ofonly two health innovations from SouthAfrica that were featured as part of a BBCseries showcasing health innovationsacross Africa.

The series focused on how these healthinnovations in Africa are making a differ-

ence to the lives of patients, their families and com-munities.

To watch the inset, visit bbc.in/1IFIUvF.“I am so passionate about this programme, be-

cause it takes children out of hospital back homewhere they belong. It builds the capacity of the par-ents to be able to care for their children and allowschildren to continue leading their normal, dailylives,” Booth says.

GOSPEL

Sing no toXenophobiaLOUISA STEYL

@LouNotes

Cape Town musician Neville D has teamedup with two other South African artists tosing out against Xenophobia.Gospel singers Judith Sephuma and Pa-

trick Duncan were in CapeTown last week to recordPray,whichwillwas releasedon Wednesday 22 April.Neville originally wrote

the song for Judith, who re-corded it for her gospel al-bum, The experience, but thistime round the song featuresthree voices.Neville explains that they

thought the songwas very ap-propriatewhen looking at thecurrent situation inSouthAf-rica with regards to recentxenophobic attacks.“It’s just really a prayer,”

he says, adding: “I don’t carewho you pray to.” He addsthat of course there’s more tofixing the situation thanpraying, but the three believeit’s a good place to start.“It’s where we get our wis-

dom,” and from there they goout and do what they can doin action.

Across AfricaThe reason Neville asked Patrick and Ju-

dith to record this single is because the threeof them, have travelled extensively to per-form all over Africa.“As soon as it started, we really felt it,” he

says, again referring to the xenophobic at-tacks that have been making headlines re-cently.With many friends from other African

countries, Xenophobia is an issue that hitsclose to home, for all three singers, but itwould be something they felt strongly abouteven if they didn’t have friends from north

of the border.“Just based on the fact that they are hu-

man beings, our brothers, we should bedoing something.”Patrick, Judith and Neville, recorded the

single, and the music video onMonday withthe help of Andrewand JeremyViljoen from

Digital Forest Studios, TimLengfeld fromTLMastering,WOW TV, who did the videorecordings and sponsors Eu-clid Jacobs and Mark Jack-son.“Everybody came on bo-

ard, free of charge, just say-ing: ‘We want to be a part ofthis’.”

Adding voicesPray was released as amu-

sic video on social mediaplatforms and is currentlybeing sampled on local radiostations. Neville says therehas been a lot of interestfrom television stations tobroadcast the music videoand while he can’t confirmwho will pick it up, DStv’sFaith Broadcast Network al-ready aired the song on Sun-day 26 April.Neville says they decided

to record the single because they “just wan-ted to do something”. They want to encoura-ge other artists fromall over theworld to addtheir voice to something.“There’s a lot of negativity all over the

world as far as South Africa is concernedand we felt like we wanted to see another si-de of South Africa.”He says he doesn’t want the world to look

at our country and say: “They killed our peo-ple and nobody said anything.”Pray is available for download from digi-

tal stores like iTunes and Amazon.V Visit Neville’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/MR.NEVILLE.D or Twitter profile at @NevilleDMusic tohear the song.

PEOPLE'S POST | FALSE BAYTuesday, 28 April 2015 SPORT 15

A young man is giving back to the sportthat has given him so much.Sean Rice (25) from Lakeside is a

world champion paddleskier. With Paddle-Life he is putting back into the sport muchmore than he could ever get out of it.“After winning the ICF Surfski WorldChampionships in 2013, I thought I hadreached a peak in my paddling. Boy, was Iwrong,” he says.“Last year was a fantastic year for me. Iwonmost of the big international races over-seas, including EuroChallenge Surfski Racein Spain, the US Surfski Championships inSan Francisco, the Canadian Champion-ships in Vancouver and the Hong KongDragon Run in November. I ended the yearwith a third place at TheDoctor in Perth anda second place at the Cape Point Challengein Cape Town. I was ecstatic with the yearas the international field is tough and thereis very tight competition between SouthAfrica and Australia,” he says.“Paddling has changedmy life, it takesmeto beautiful places, I feel at home in theocean and love being fit and healthy. It is agreat privilege that I can travel all aroundthe world and share this withmany people.”Sean says PaddleLife is a team effort be-tween him and his partner Emily McGrath(24), a Fish Hoek local and a UCT Honoursgraduate. She heads up the administrationand organisational side of the PaddleLifeworld tour and he does all the coaching andpaddling.According to Sean, after he finished his

Honours degree in Marketing, he decided itwas too soon to “settle down” and find a realjob.“Emily had the same idea. We decided itwas time to give back to the paddling world.We set up an international paddling move-ment called PaddleLife. In the past, surfskipaddling has been extremely competitiveand the focus has been on racing and elitepaddlers, which is great. But with the globaltrend of health improvements and lifestylechanges we want to change the idea of surf-ski paddling. It really is a sport anyone cando – all ages, all sizes and all fitness levels.The sport is unique in the sense that you canget coached by the best in the world,” hesays.“PaddleLife had a fantastic start. We havebeen touring aroundAustralia andNewZea-land, sharing our enthusiasm and knowl-edge of the sport. The response from the in-ternational paddling community has beenamazing so far and we expect it to carry onfor the rest of the year. We are heading to17 countries and 34 cities in the comingmonths, and plan to teach over 1000 paddlersby the end of the year. We will pretty muchreach all corners of the globe.”Sean says his fellow competitors think heis abit crazy forwanting to race competitive-ly while also travelling for PaddleLife. “Iwill be keeping up a training regime as bestI can and I plan to be competitive at all thebig races around the world. It is a challenge,but it is what keeps life interesting for me.I have competed in the first international

race of the year in Auckland at the begin-ning of March. I managed to take the winconvincingly.”After that he raced in the Manly WharfBridge to Beach race in Sydney where he al-so won. “It was a fast 11 km paddle past theSydney Opera House. The true test of the

year will be the next ICF Surfski WorldChampionships in Tahiti in October.“The SA trials are being held at the endof April in Durban, where I will be compet-ing. It is a true honour to get selected to racefor your country,” he says.V Visit www.yourpaddlelife.com for more information.
