MASIPHUMELELE

Hospital a distant hopeNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

While a “purposefully designed andbuilt primary healthcare facility”has been envisioned for Ocean View

and Masiphumelele, land and funding re-main obstacles.The provincial health department envisa-

ges such a comprehensive facility to betterserve the Ocean View and Masiphumelelecommunities, spokesperson Monique John-stone says.

“All such projects fall within the cycle ofplanning, prioritisation and available fund-ing for health infrastructure over the nextfew years,” she says.But Siyabulela Mamkeli, City of Cape

Town mayoral committee member forhealth, says although the City’s health de-partment has tried to find a site in the areafor a clinic for Masiphumelele residents,“space is very limited”.“Even with space, the additional operat-

ing expenditure for such a facility wouldneed to be sourced,” he says.

City health has planned for renovations tothe Ocean View clinic, which will includetwo extra consulting rooms and the expan-sion of the records room, expected to be com-pleted before the middle of 2017.TheOceanView clinic is the only primary

healthcare facility offering adult service inthe area, explains Mamkeli.Masiphumelele clinic offers adults anti-

retroviral, TB and sexually transmitted ill-ness treatment, as well as family planningand basic antenatal care.The Ocean View clinic staff attend to an

average of 4500 patients permonth,Mamkelisays.“This is usually split with about 4000 pa-

tients being over the age of five and the other500 patients being under the age of five.”Ocean View Care Centre’s Johan Kikillus

says he has received a number of complaintsfrom community members who have beenleft queuing at the False Bay hospital.He believes these queues are caused by

community members choosing to visit thehospital over their local clinics.V Continued on page 2.

As fire season officially startsthismonth, theVolunteerWild-

fire Services (VWS) is calling onCapetonians to be fire aware.Always assume that awildfire or

a house fire can be ignited, saysVWS marketing director MarisaGalloway.VWS is a firefighting organisa-

tionmadeup of over 200 volunteersat four stations. Started 15 yearsago in response to devastating firesin Cape Town, the organisation isa first responder to fires in TableMountain National Park andworks closely with other emergen-cy services.“How a wildfire is started does

not change anything for us. We al-ways go out and fight fires aggres-sively but safely. It is important formembers of the public to always beaware that open fires, fireworks,Chinese lanterns and cigarettebutts not only cause damage to thenatural environment but also posemajor fire risks,” she says.A large part of fighting wildfires

safely is team work, says VWSNewlands station manager Jon-Jon Emary.“One of ourmembers hit the nail

on the head by calling what we do‘high-speed gardening’. Imaginedigging, cutting and smotheringflames in as quick a time as possi-ble for eight hours. Team work,safety, training and fitness are socrucial to what we do,” he says.“We go out together and return

together. Some days we win andothers we don’t, but every single

time we go out we do so with asmile on our faces and pride in ourhearts.”Every day is a highlight at the

VWS, Emary says.“This year alonewehave had the

biggest operational seasonwehaveever had, seen more support and

donations from the public than ev-er before andhad the largest intakeof new volunteers ever,” he says.The team was instrumental in

fighting fires earlier in the year,such as the blaze in Cape Town inMarch.“To this day theweek of the Cape

fire was the most challenging. Themanagement of the incredible in-flux of donations, sending out nu-merous fire crews, handling themedia and trying to squeeze somework in between it all was a hugetask. I have to takemy hat off to ev-ery single one of the amazing vol-

unteers who assisted,” he says.The organisation faces some

unique challenges, with all mem-bers working as volunteers andneeding to be safely kitted out.“At times it’s a struggle. Be-

tween a very demanding day job,fire calls and managing the Newl-ands fire base, it is a massive task.The reality is that if you’re pas-sionate about it you will find thetime,” Emary says.“The costs associated with fight-

ing fires are extremely high. Justkitting out one firefighter costsabout R3000. On top of thatwe havevehicles to maintain and refuel aswell as equipment to service andreplace. It’s safe to say thatwithoutfunding we wouldn’t be able to dowhat we’re passionate about,” Gal-loway says.And input from the public is vi-

tal, especially in preventing fires,she says. “Have a smoke alarm in-stalled in your house. Please don’tlet off Chinese lanterns, particular-ly overNewYear’s. Theymay seembeautiful, but they pose a massivefire risk. Educate your childrenabout the dangers of fires andbring them to our open day so theycan learn more about fires and theVWS,” she says.V The VWS open day will take place onSunday 29 November at the ChrysalisAcademy in Tokai forest. The family daywill let children of all ages interact withVWS volunteers, learn more about the or-ganisation and fires and see firefightingdisplays. Entry is free and food will be onsale. Only cash and Snapscan paymentswill be accepted for food and beverages.Visit www.vws.org.za for more informationand to pre-register for the open day.

Top thriller becomes kids’ booksNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Bundles of pages from local author LaurenBeukes’s latest book have been trans-formed into artworks by more than 130 ofSouthAfrica’s top creatives. The artworkshave been sold to raise funds to bring thejoy of reading to more children.All proceeds from the exhibition will go

towards Book Dash, and will allow for theprinting and distribution of storybooks tochildren in need. For each artwork sold,150 illustrated children’s books will beprinted and distributed.The project has been sponsored by Nan-

do’s andhas seencuratorJackiLang selectemerging local artists, designers, illustra-tors, architects and photographers – in-cluding Brett Murray, Conrad Botes, Gab-by Raaff, Kilmany-Jo Liversage, LienBotha, Liza Grobler, Matthew Hindley,MiaWidlake, Paul Senyol and artists fromthe Nando’s Art Initiative.The works are created from or on pages

torn from Beukes’s most recent novel Bro-ken Monsters.“I tore a few pages out of the book at a

time, tied them inabundlewith twine, andhanded them out to the artists in personand via post. The artists could choosewhich pages in their ‘random’ bundle theywanted to create artworks on. For everyartist that selection is their own process,”explains Lang.“Some of the artworks relate to the

words and story on that particular pageand some don’t. There were also some art-ists who asked for extra bundles of pagesso that they could contribute more art-works to the exhibition and the cause.”Beukes loves art and artists and often in-

cludes them in her stories, says Nando’sArt Initiative spokesperson LouiseMcCann.“Since her book Moxyland she has run

collaborationswith artists around her sto-ries. When Lauren launched her interna-tional bestseller The Shining Girls herfriend Jacki Lang, an ace curator based inCape Town, suggested to Lauren that theycreate an exhibition where artists createartworks on pages torn from The ShiningGirls as a fundraiser for a charity,” shesays.That art showwas a success, with all the

artworks sold and R100 000 raised.Book Dash is a charity close to Beukes’s

heart. “Reading is about understandingthe world and who we are in it. Stories al-low us to live other lives, to spend time insomeone else’s head, to feel empathy. Sto-ries allow us to be more than we are. It’sa big theme inBrokenMonsters – the doorsin our heads. So Book Dash felt like theperfect charity partner.What could be bet-ter than using a book to create accessibleart to fund more stories with art that be-come accessible books in the hands ofkids?” she says.Book Dash co-founder Arthur Attwell

says children in South Africa need morebooks, but they cost too much.“The cheapest books have no publisher

– then the only cost is printing. So our par-ticipants do the work of publishers in asingle day.After that, anyone can get printruns sponsored and put finished books in-to the hands of children,” he explains.“We believe every child should own a

hundred books by the age of five. In SouthAfrica, that means giving 600 million freebooks to children who could never affordthem.”

Artworksinspired bylocal authorLauren Beukes’slatest bookhave been soldto raise fundsfor a children’sliteracy project.

FROM PAGE 1“My office is over the road fromOceanViewclinic, so I see every morning just how fullthis clinic is – from 06:00 people line up out-side the clinic, even in winter,” he says.“The Ocean View clinic can barely look

after the residents fromOceanViewas it hasnot expanded in size in a number of years.So to expect sick adults fromMasiphumeleleto travel all the way to Ocean View andqueue for hours is unfair. It is no wonderthat they instead go to False Bay hospital.”Johnstone says local clinics in Masiphu-

melele, Ocean View and Fish Hoek providelimited health services. She also says theclinics do play a role in reducing the numberof patients who visit the hospital, althoughshe admits this is the “ideal” situation.“Due to the limited range of healthcare

services offered by these local City-run clin-ics, we find that many patients attend thehospital for adult chronic and acute care.”Stable patients at thehospital are being re-

ferred back to clinics where possible, butmany patients choose to visit the hospitalfrom local areas as well as many other partsof the city, Johnstone says.“They may work in this area and access

to healthcare during working times is moreconvenient.”Both clinics and the hospital run an ap-

pointment system in an attempt to reducepatient waiting times.Patients are encouraged not to comemore

than 30 minutes before an appointment,Mamkeli says.“It is expected that in the future the range

of services offered across the entire primaryhealthcare service platform would addressthe increased needs for adult chronic care,and be comprehensive at all service points.This would have a significant and positiveeffect on redistributing chronic, stable (non-emergency) patients better across all of theprimary healthcare facilities,” Johnstonesays.Chronic, stable patients are also being en-

couraged to attend community-based ser-vice care groups run by NPOs funded by thedepartment of health, such as Living Hope,where they can receive chronic medication,screening and support. These patients arereferred to False Bay hospital should theyneed urgent care or a six-monthly follow-up.

Anew tour is showing visitors the spookyside of Simon’s Town.

The Ghost Meanders tour is retelling thehistory of Simon’s Town’s resident ghosts.André Leibbrandt was inspired to create

the tour while working at the Simon’s TownAmenities Development Company (STAD-CO) as a car guard for a year.“I realised that tourists only come to Si-

mon’s Town to quickly hop out, snap somepictures of Just Nuisance, the beautiful har-bour, and off they go again,” he says.After qualifying as a tour guide, Leib-

brandt decided to offer a unique walkingtour of Simon’s Town.“After doing some brainstormingwith fel-

low guide Matthew Collard and library re-search, we decided to offer Friday nightghost walks. Simon’s Town is the mosthaunted corner in South Africa and hasmany spectres that are both recorded and

some “new” sightings . . . as recently as lastyear,” he says.A highlight of the tour is a visit to the

grave of Just Nuisance, a local dog who wasenlisted into the Royal Navy in the 1940s, ontop of the mountains, which boasts unsur-passable views.Visitors canalso learnabout the “GrayLa-

dy”with different places of appearances andold movie house haunts experienced by cur-rent occupants. A restless baby murdererand a strange lady appearing on Redhill be-hind Simon’s Town in an eerie glow, await-ing the return of a lost lover at sea, are justsome of the stories on the tour thatwill leavevisitors with goosebumps.“We feel that by doing these walks, we are

contributing to the preservation of our na-tional heritage, both before and after segre-gation andhoping to receive an influx of peo-ple that may lead to job creation,” he says.V The walk lasts about an hour and a half. Ticketsare R50 each. Daytime walks catering for children arealso available.

SET IN STONE: A replica of the original 17th mile marker on Main Road was unveiledby the Kalk Bay Historical Society on Tuesday last week. Milestones were first placedalong Main Road in 1814 and 1815 to mark the edge of the road and let travellers knowdistances between Cape Town and Simon’s Town. The replica stone is an accurate copyof the original, with Roman numerals marking the 17th mile, or 27.4km. Stone used forthe replica, known as Malmesbury slate, probably came from the Strand Street quarry. Itstands about 1m high and weighs about 350kg. PHOTO: NICOLE MCCAIN

Kids’ hospitalhonours foundersTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

The Red Cross War Memorial Children’sHospital honoured its founders at the an-

nual Remembrance Day celebration onWednesday last week.

The day is celebrated on 11 November tohonour the World War II servicemen whodonated two days of their pay towards whatwas to become the Red CrossWarMemorialChildren’s Hospital.

Their vision then was to create a livingmemorial in honour of their fallen com-rades. Today, the world-class hospital savesthe lives ofmore thanaquartermillion chil-dren each year. Next year the hospital cancelebrate 60 years.

Military dignitaries in regiment uni-forms have gathered with their families onthe hospital’s premises on RemembranceDay each year since 2011, and a ceremonytakes place to pay tribute to the heroes whooriginated the iconic hospital.

The ceremony has grown in stature and

attendance and this year more than 150guests and members of the public attended.Theprogramme included theCapeFieldAr-tillery Pipes and Drums, the Isivunguvun-gu Youth Band, marching sentries andMoths standards, the “Last Post”, two min-utes of silence and “Reveille” as well as awreath laying.Liz Linsell of the Children’s Hospital

Trust says it is important that they ac-knowledge and remember the veteranswhowere so instrumental in the founding of thehospital.In 1945, it was suggested that a children’s

hospital be built as amemorial to thosewhohad contributed by sacrifice, suffering andservice inWorldWar II. It was felt that chil-dren had been the innocent victims of thewar, so thehospitalwas devoted to the reliefof the suffering of children.

The building commenced in 1953 underthe guidance of the SouthAfricanRedCrossSociety at a cost of R1.6m. In 1956 the owner-ship of the hospital was handed over to theWestern Cape government.

Richard Lawrenson (89), a World War II veteran, honours the veterans who were instrumentalin the founding of the Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital at a Remembrance Dayceremony last week.

City council has set aside a special budgetof R18m to implement 270 traffic-calmingprojects across the city before the middle ofnext year.This includes two speed humps installed

at the church in First Crescent in FishHoek.Brett Herron, mayoral committee mem-

ber for transport, says: “The purpose of theprojects is first and foremost to protect themost vulnerable road users among us: Chil-dren, those with special needs, cyclists andother pedestrians.“Apart from establishing a sustainable

and responsive regime for the provision of

traffic-calming measures across the city,the new policy also addresses the currentbacklog of 500 traffic-calming projects to thevalue of R30m. Going forward, the City willimplement traffic-calming measures at 50schools each financial year, as well as a fur-ther 150 projects from the list of approvedprojects, subject to available funding,” Her-ron says.Each year theCity receivesmore than 400

requests for new traffic-calming measures,Herron says.“We are trying our best tomake our roads

as safe as possible for all road users, in par-ticular for our children.”

Humps for First Crescent


To make Fish Hoek a better place for ev-eryone.This is the mission of a movement to re-

brand FishHoek, nownamed the FishHoekImprovement Project. It was decided byover 40 Fish Hoek residents and businessowners at a workshop last week.The community-driven project will aim

to develop community pride through com-munity engagement in the form of events,projects and innovations, improve the aes-thetic of the town centre and help developbusiness activities for the benefit of thecommunity as well as tourism and buildbetter community and public spaces inparks and the beach.The project will also look tomaintain and

improve Fish Hoek’s safety, develop plansto integrate the community and improve ac-cess and mobility.Led by business consultancy Tankwa

Sky, a recent residents survey listed the en-

vironment, community and retirement fa-cility as the top reasons residents choose tolive in the suburb (“Main Rd needs a make-over, say locals”, People’s Post, 27 October).Five teams have now been established to

drive projects based on the results of thissurvey.“The task teams have been asked to meet

separately beforeWednesday 25 November,and coordinators will report to us with re-gard to their one, five and 10 year vision fortheir area of focus, a project priority list, aswell as a ‘quick win’ list on Monday 30 No-vember,” explains Tankwa Sky’s Lee-AnneMcQueen.“The door remains open to any resident,

business owner, professional or organisa-tion who would still like to get involved inone of the task teams. Anyone who mayhave missed the workshop or who wasn’taware of this project but who feels that theycan add value will be warmly welcomed in-to the task team of their choice.”V Visit www.welovefishhoek.co.za or the We love FishHoek page on Facebook for more information.

Two South Peninsula women aretying their takkies and taking on

Table Mountain for a good cause.Andrea Nettel and Lee-Ann Daw-

son, dubbed Team No Breaks, willbe running to the height of 14 000mover 14 consecutive days.

The team is fundraising for Net-tel’s 14-year-old son, who is perma-nently in a wheelchair due to con-genital muscular dystrophy. AlexBoettger loves rugby and cricketand his dream is to become a cricketstatistician or a sports commenta-tor.

The project was inspired fouryears ago when Andrea was run-ning in the mountains with friendsand expressing her wish to sharethe beauty of the Cape Peninsulafynbos with Alex.

Her friends encouraged her to dothat and she became determined tonot allow Alex’s disability to pre-

vent him from experiencing things.The mother and son have since

completed two half-marathons, thePeninsula Marathon and the TwoOceans Marathon.

“We were doing these eventsmainly for ourselves and to allowAlex the experience of it. But we al-so made use of them to raise fundsto provide adequately for Alex’sneeds,” she says.

“We have come to realise that itis very unusual, despite the legisla-tion in SA, for children to be accept-ed at mainstream schools. And ifthey are accepted they are expectedto make do as best as they can.”

This year Andrea felt driven to ex-pand the fundraising to other fami-lies with similar challenges.

“I would like my experiences andour efforts to benefit other kids whoare struggling to get a good educa-tion because of their disability. Lee-Ann came up with the idea to high-light the challenges of families withdisabilities by challenging our-

selves and ‘Up 14Ks in 14 days’ wasborn,” she says.

The number was inspired by Al-ex’s age.

“Although Lee-Ann works in thesports industry this was altogethera new challenge for her. I hadn’t runsince the beginning of the year andneeded to start all over again,” shesays.

Andrea hopes the run will breakthe stereotype around disability.

“Not everyone in a wheelchair isparalysed. Disability is not alwaysvisible. Disability does not equallimited possibilities. We would likepeople to talk about disability with-out taboo, shame or pity. Ask ques-tions and feel comfortable in thepresence of disability,” she says.

The runs will take place in the Ta-ble Mountain and South Peninsulaarea between Sunday 29 Novemberand Saturday 12 December.V For more information visit www.indiego-go.com/projects/up-14000-k-s-in-14days orthe teamnobreaks page on Facebook.

It’s been about a year since internationalsingerCharl “Babyboy”Pilwan toldPeople’sPost he wanted to return to South Africa.Born and raised in Retreat, Charl, who

now lives in Woodstock, has spent the last13 years working in Asia and America, butsays he’s been spending a lot more time at“home” lately.After releasing his single “Apple green

Datsun” earlier this year, Charl says he’sbeen in Cape Town since May, which hasbeen the longest time he’s spent in the cityfor years.The song, which celebrates Cape Town,

has been received very well. It was down-loaded 5000 times within the first week of itsrelease and Charl says fans can expect tohear a house remix of “Apple green Datsun”soon.“It’s been amazing,” he says.

Music video winsCharl, who has previously said that he is

always going to be “a coloured boy from Re-treat”, received arguably the best welcomehome when he was acknowledged at theCape Flats Film Festival.Hewon theBestVideoaward for themusic

video of “Voice of reason”, his previous sin-gle.“I really didn’t expect to win . . . Like real-

ly.”It’s the first time he’s been recognised in

this way in his home country.The festival took place across Cape Town

and the nominated music videos werescreened at schools across the Cape Flatsand pupils got to vote for their favourites.The fact that the schoolchildren liked his

work was a great affirmation for Charl, buthe points out that they did have questions,like why “a coloured boy from Retreat” wassinging predominantly English songs.Charl grew up speaking English and stud-

ies abroad, giving him a “more rounded”sound,which also helps him cater to a largeraudience.

New singleHis new single “Can’t figure it out” is cur-

rently playing on Heart 104.9FM and otherradio stations.He’s already working on newmaterial, in-

cluding house versions of this single and hisnext one, “Love is something else”.His main focus at the moment is promot-

ing his music locally.

Charl has worked with the likes of ChrisBrown, Nelly and Ne-Yo.He is working on building a sustainable

career for himself in Cape Town, so that hecan eventually live here permanently.He plans to playmany shows and festivals

in the area over the festive season.“I’m just enjoying being home.”

Future plansThat being said, he’s still writing and pro-

ducing for international artists.He is planning to fly musicians in from

New York and Liverpool to help him workon his new album in South Africa.Hehopes to release it inMay, as a birthday

present to himself.In between, Charl is also working on his

autobiographywithDallas ghostwriter Jen-nyBlock, to tell the story of his careerwhichhas taken him across the globe.“I want people to understand the realme.”In the meantime, fans can catch Charl in

action when he performs a free show at theSlug and Lettuce at the River Club in Ob-servatory on Sunday from noon to 15:00.V Call 021 448 7906 for more information or to bookfor the show. Visit the Babyboy Entertainment pageon Facebook for more about Charl and his upcomingshows.

The Magnet Theatre in Observatory willcaptivate young audiences when it

presents its early years theatre festivalfrom Wednesday 2 to Saturday 12 Decem-ber.

The daily line-up will include a show forchildren younger than seven, as well as onespecifically designed for mothers and ba-bies up to one year old.

what it can do and what it can make. Stimu-lating for the imagination, the cast createstrange and magical animals and imageswith shaped pieces of forest wood, interact-ing with the children through song,rhythms and sounds.

The Magnet Early Years Theatre Compa-ny is an initiative to train young theatremakers in the field of early childhood devel-opment theatre, and create these three newproductions this year.

The looming national water crisis is closer to home thanyou may think.Water shortages may seem far from the daily reality of

most Capetonians, but savingwater is not just the respon-sibility of those without any.SouthAfrica is facing itsworst drought in over two dec-

ades and our clean water supply is under heavy strain.Local government has announced that it may imple-

ment water savings targets from as soon as next monthand the provincial government is already looking at pre-cautionary restrictions for areas such as the Karoo andWest Coast.It’s only a matter of time before Cape Town starts feel-

ing the pinch too.And although a lack of water is an inconvenience to us

in our homes, it is devastating to the agricultural sector.This means not only will we be heading into a drought,

we will also possibly face food shortages, suffer a rise infood prices and see an increase in the cost of living asa result.It paints a gloomy picture for the upcoming year.But there is something we can do now: Save water.It sounds simple enough, but every day we waste litres

of water through carelessness.Simple acts, such as ensuring your pipes have no leaks

and not watering your garden or filling your pool duringthe day, go a long way to saving water.In fact, put away your hosepipe.Water your plantswith

a watering can and wash your car with a bucket – you’llbe conscious of how much water you’re using and savesome in the process.Don’t leave open taps running while you wash your

hands or brush your teeth, and shower with purpose –the time for leisurely long showers is over.Saving water is our responsibility and we need to start

doing it right now – because saving water when there isnone is too late.

I understand their angerI am not a big Facebooker or socialmedia person, but as we live in thevalley and are neighbours of Masiphu-melele, I feel it is needed to express myfeeling with you about our electiverepresentatives, the DA councillors.Masi has about 40 000 residents. To put

that in perspective, Fish Hoek has 9000.Fish Hoek has a real police station, afire department, a hospital, numerousschools and a non-existent crime rate incomparison to Masi.What I don’t understand is that since

all these outbreaks of anger started,none of the councillors have come outand spoken directly to us, but moreimportantly, to the residents of Masi.Where is Felicity Purchase? Your

constituency needs you more than ever,children are being killed, women arebeing raped. You are being paid to jumpup and down for us, stand on thebarricades and scream your lungs out toprotect the innocent. You should makePatricia de Lille’s life a living night-mare, asking her to commit funds andget done what is needed.Dan Plato came and spoke to the

community, but aren’t you supposed tolead us out of this misery? There is acommunity forum on Facebook of whichyou are a member. You have not spokenonce.You were once the mayor of Fish

Hoek, you have been here for donkeyyears. Haven’t you had enough time toturn Masi into a pleasant place to live,where people feel safe?Maybe it’s time for you to move on

and have some fresh representativestake over your job, because when welook at what you have achieved for theresidents of Masi, I don’t see much.I have read that the police have their

own agenda and decisions relating topolice are not made here. That may betrue but I still believe that if you hadbeen the biggest pain in the butt of DanPlato and the mayor, more could havebeen achieved by you as there is nopolice presence in Masi.To make it clear, I am not politically

connected, I happen to live here in thevalley and I think I understand why thepeople in Masi are angry.

EMILY COETZEE,Sun Valley

Response from ward councillor FelicityPurchase:A quick look at the census of 2011

shows a very different population figure.Fish Hoek figures are one thing but thevalley includes Sun Valley, Capri,Sunnydale, Milkwood Park, Noordhoek,De Oude Weg, Lochiel Road smallhold-ings, Imhoff’s Gift and Blue WatersEstate, Ocean View and Kommetjie. Weneed to also remember Glencairn andSimon’s Town.I think it is necessary to explain that

Fish Hoek was a municipality separatefrom Simon’s Town and the then region-al services council which dealt with therural areas. Each of these has a firestation. Simon’s Town and Fish Hoekfire stations remain and Noordhoek firestation was closed in the late 90s.Having said this, the CSIR report on

social facilities has highlighted that mostof the fires in the valley are taking placewest of the four-way intersection and inan attempt to provide a more efficientservice, the Fish Hoek fire station willbe relocated to a position on KommetjieRoad nearer to Masi and Ocean View.The schools were developed over the

years around communities and support-ed by those communities.There is no excuse for the poor

policing that the Ocean View policingprecinct has received over the past fiveyears. However, we have finally beenheard and there is a new station com-mander.During these last six weeks of civil

unrest and public violence in andaround Masi, I, as the ward councillor,together with my colleagues, have beenon the ground working to stabilise thearea and allow the innocent victims togo about their normal daily lives. Weensured help was provided to those whorequired medical attention, as well asproviding refreshments to the services

that were required to be on dutythroughout this period.Meetings were held with community

leaders during this time as well aschurch leaders and business leaders andtaxi association members. Every effortwas made to restore peace. Thesemeetings were sometimes also attendedby senior police officials to negotiate anend to violence. The trouble was thatwhen the community leaders tried tonegotiate with the youth, they wereignored.I have never been mayor of Fish Hoek.

We provide services to Masi as we do toother communities. This is also ademocracy and anyone is entitled tomake themselves available for electionas ward councillor.Masi is one of the most fortunate of

our townships in that it has the highestnumber of NGOs working in the area.Perhaps if the writer wanted to help, shecould start by joining one of these veryworthwhile organisations in the field ofher choice.They do, however, suffer from acute

overcrowding as a result of shackfarming, where tenants in the backyardsprovide an income to the landlord.I wish to point out that we need to

live by the rule of law. We cannotcondone the brutal necklacing of people,whatever their crime. We also cannotcondone the slaughter of others, letalone in front of children. Then there isthe burning of state equipment, namelytwo police vehicles and a navy bus.Eight people died in this unrest.

People trying to go to work were inti-mated, were forced to take part inmarches. The stripping naked of awoman caught and the breaking of aman’s legs who wanted to go to work. Iam sure there are many other stories Iwas not witness to.People’s homes were burnt, businesses

were damaged, boats and cars burnt andthe list goes on.We must allow the police and the

judicial processes to now run theircourse.

Pee Wee ball tofill future voidLYNN PRINS

@lynnie_prins

The committee of the CapeTown Softball Association(CTSA) is working hard to

keep the future of softball alivethrough the development of theyouth.

With the numbers growingamong young players between 4and 13 year, there is still greatconcernwithinCTSAregardingthe older age group (15-year-olds).

“Not having the 15-year-oldage group available is quitechallenging in any sport, andfor us as a committee this is oneof the biggest challenges, as weneed them to fill senior levels,”says Noore Nacerodien, CTSAchairperson.

“There are not enough seniorteams and we would like the 15-year-olds, when they go beyondtheir age group, to play in thefourth league with seniors.”

CTSA is positive about thegrowth in the sport and says theway forward is to build relation-ships with schools.

This comes after government,Sascoc and Softball South Afri-ca instructed federations to ad-minister school sport.

According to CTSA the onlyway it will be beneficial for bothparties is to have a partnership.

“Many schools have alreadyapproached the federation di-rectly to play in the leagues. Itis also possible for schools toplay in our youth league underthe school’s name. We will thenallocate a club to ‘adopt’ that

school, and this is only if theschool is not able to play in theschool league,” says Nacero-dien.He also says in order to in-

crease the number of childrenplaying, the sport should be de-centralised, as clubs are bat-tling financially to transport theplayers to Turfhall softball sta-dium every week.“There are many venues

available that we can usethroughout the Capemetropole.This initiative will commenceon 28 November, where gameswill be playedat thenewsoftballfacility in Bishop Lavis.”But apart from finding u.15s

at schools, PamFredericks, alsoa committee member of CTSA,is already busy laying the foun-dation, starting with the PeeWee players (4 to 7 years old).Fredericks, who initially re-

quested Pee Wee softball fourseasons ago, feels there is a needto develop youngsters at an ear-ly age where they could betaught the basics first beforeprogressing to tee ball.“Many little ones from the

ages of four played tee ball andwould be left out because theyare not aware of what to do. Atthe tender age of four, their con-centration span is very short.You need to meet them at theirlevel, which is why I requestedPee Wee softball.“With the support of parents

Saturday mornings have nowbecome fun.”V Parents interested in Pee Wee soft-ball can contact the Turfhall office on061 477 7882 for more information.

boast 10 points (three wins and a draw, with oneloss) after five league outings.The Grassy Park team occupies third place on

the log – 1 point behind defending champion Glen-dene United (11 points) and 5 points behind logleader Steenberg United (15 points), who has al-ready played six league games this season.Nevertheless, Wade Crowie, son of former PSL

player and star coachDuncanCrowie (nowayouth

coach at Ajax Cape Town), put in an excellent dis-play to showed great experience on the field toplaceMilanoUnited in awinning position, scoringoff his first two shots at goal.

Thevisitors then reduced thedeficit, butRonwinGeorge had other plans and restoredMilano’s two-goal lead late in the second half with a well-takengoal of his own to secure a 3-1 win for his team.

The players of St Martins softball clubwere put through their paces by Tan-tasports in a Cape Town Softball Asso-

ciation match at Turfhall on Saturday.Had it not been for the eight runs scored

in the sixth and seventh frames, St Martinswould have been staring down a comprehen-sive defeat in a tightly fought encounter.Tantasport will feel hard done by followingthe hard work it put into the five frames pre-ceding the St Martins onslaught.

Tanta sprung into a 4-0 lead after the open-ing four frames, but could not add to its tallyas it would succumb 8-4 to St Martins.

The match saw five pitchers thrown intorotation, where Saints made use of threepitchers – Shanine Groepies, Lindsay Da-mon and Bonita Cloete. Between the threeof them, they saw off seven batters, strikingone out while letting another three walk,conceding three well-deserved hits, result-ing in runs, where one intentional walk wasconceded.

Saints’s third pitcher, Cloete, saw off 13batters, striking out one, while conceding ahit through a fielding error.

Only Aneeqa Davids (1-3) en Kathryn vanBoom (1-4) achieved joy with the bat, beingthe only Tantasport batters to obtain hits.

Nevertheless, they kept Saints honest un-til conceding 9 hits off pitching sisters Rox-

anne Albertyn (5) and Justine Stewart (4).For Saints, Danielle Ford (1-3) and Robin

Packery (2-4) hit a home run each and alsoaccounted for six RBIs amongst each other,while Aime Ford (1-2), Damon (1-2) and Han-lynne Cast (2-3) also performed well withpowerful bats.

Other matchesFalcons and Westridge Yankees played to

a 3-3 draw.Defending champion Glenthorn Athletics

from Athlone was far too strong for PDB,thumping it with a 16-0 score line.

Kenfac Phillies triumphed in a titanicstruggle with Normies, securing a 6-4 victo-ry.

St Martins pushed all the way

Shinnay Erasmus of Westridge Yankees (left)misses a pitch as Samantha Jones of Falconscollects the ball. The match ended 33.
