While the City of Cape Town plans a R36mhousing project in Masiphumelele, res-

idents have been warned that the increasingnumber of informal structures will onlyhamper future development.

The housing project will be used to build227 new housing units, which will be con-structed between the existing formal area

and the sports fields.“It is estimated that the tender will be ad-

vertised mid-2016, with an estimated con-struction period of two years,” says Benedic-ta van Minnen, mayoral committee memberfor human settlements.

Committee workThe project has an established project

steering committee comprising of represent-atives of the beneficiaries, community orga-

nisations and City officials, she says.“Policy dictates that the committee must

agree on and recommend an allocation split.This allocation split must accommodate ap-plicants on the database within the targetedarea, households from informal settlementswithin the targeted area, applicants withspecial needs and applicants earliest on thedatabase across the city,” she says.

Masiphumelele informal settlement hasabout 2170 informal dwellings, Van Minnen

says. This does not include an unknownnumber of backyard structures in the formalarea.

About 1000 homes were destroyed in a firethat swept through the township last month.

Patients try out horse playMove over, man’s best friend.

There’s a new animal bringingcomfort and treatment to patients,specifically individuals with men-tal health problems.Equine assisted psychotherapy

(EAP) is being piloted at Valken-berg hospital.Sixmale forensic patients,main-

ly with a diagnosis of schizophre-nia, have been selected for the pi-lot, says Nafisa Abdulla, chief oc-cupational therapist atValkenbergHospital.“These patients were socially

withdrawn and did not engagespontaneously, they had no majorcognitive deficits and someof themhave a history of aggressive behav-iour,” she says.Over an eight week period, pa-

tients are able to interact with thehorses andparticipate in therapeu-tic exercises via grooming or set-ting out obstacles, either in pairsor in groups.“The aim of the pilot project is to

improve theparticipants’ ability towork and function in a group, de-crease irritability and aggressivebehaviour, while improving inter-personal and social skills.“Although minor, my team and

I have seen distinctive improve-ments in the selected patients dur-ing the course of the programme,”says Abdulla.With similar social and respon-

sive behaviour to humans, horseshave been noted to be a hugely ben-eficial mechanism in therapy ses-sions for individualswith avarietyof emotional and mental health is-sues, says Fiona Bromfield, a trus-tee at the Equinox Trust.The Trust is a registered non-

governmental organisation (NGO)that specialises in EAP and equineassisted therapy (EAT).

Although there are many formsof EAT, EAP specifically focuseson the emotional and mentalhealth of participants.“EAP is an innovative and crea-

tive method for addressing a widerangeof therapeutic andemotionalneeds in individuals. It is a short-term, collaborative effort betweena mental health professional and ahorse professional. Strategic activ-ities are established for the partici-pant to partake in with the horse,excluding riding,” explains Brom-field.Although animal-assisted thera-

py isn’t uncommon, horses re-

spondandreact differently to otheranimals, she explains.Because horses are herd and

prey animals, they are highly at-tuned to changes in non-verbalcommunication in order to main-tain the safety of the herd.

Horse language“Horses are able to accurately

assess the state of being of an indi-vidual and communicate it non-verbally. Thus, these animalsmake great companions for psy-chotherapy, because they can mir-ror and instantly respond to hu-man behaviour. There’s also a

healing bond that can develop be-tween humans and horses. EAPutilises this relationship with thehorse as a tool to mirror a partici-pant’s experiences and facilitatechange and development.“Participants are able to com-

pare their experiences with thehorses to their real-life experien-ces.”Bromfield says unlike tradition-

al talk therapy, EAP is a uniquemethod which enables partici-pants to learn about themselveswhile they interact with the horse.The observed feelings, behav-

iours and patterns are discussed.

“EAP isunique in that it doesnotrequire clients to ride or get on tothe horses; instead, clients are pre-sented with semi-structured tasks,such as to catch and halter thehorse, move it around and get thehorse to walk through and over ob-stacles. It is the interpretationsthat participants assign to the in-teractionswith the horses that pro-vide vehicles formaking therapeu-tic improvements,” she explains.The therapist, in turn, takes the

participants’ interpretations fromtheir horse interactions and craftsmetaphors, which are used duringand after the therapy sessions tohelp participants with developingand retrieving emotional and be-havioural responses.

Interpretation“This metaphorical process is

self-reflective, encouraging partic-ipants to develop insight and sup-porting the identification and ex-pression of thoughts, behaviourand emotions. It is the storieswhich emerge from these meta-phors that enable our programmesto have a lasting impact and enablethe client to take what he learnswhen interacting with these hors-es back to his life,” she says.The process engages partici-

pants on a physical, mental andemotional level simultaneously,Bromfield says.“As humans we remember 20%

of what we hear, 50% of what wesee and 80% of what we do; thus,our actions are the reasons experi-ential learning is so effective.”The Equinox Trust team has

worked with a variety of individu-als, including children, families,recovering addicts, abused womenand individuals looking for an al-ternative to traditional therapies.

Equine therapy is being piloted at Valkenberg hospital. Here are Nafisa Abdulla, chief occupational therapist atValkenberg, Fiona Bromfield, trustee at the Equinox Trust, Dr Marc Roffey, psychiatrist at Valkenberg, Noeline Nune,occupational therapy technician at Valkenberg, Rowdah Hawtrey, senior occupational therapist at Valkenberg, andSarah Garland, trustee at the Equinox Trust.

The prepared site was divided into largeblocks so that the City’s human settlementsdirectorate could do partial above-groundreblocking, which is a way to group struc-tures to ease basic services and emergencyaccess.“Firebreaks were also installed. The new

design of the fire-affected area could accom-modate all of the registered and validatedfire-affected residents,” Van Minnen says.“While we understand the great need for

housing opportunities, the proliferation ofinformal settlements has a devastating ef-fect on sustainability, safety and service pro-vision.”The community should play the biggest

role in preventing the construction of illegalstructures, as these illegal structures are“jeopardising the future development poten-tial of the area”, she says.“Themore structures that are allowed, the

less space there will be for development.”

Park reopened after fire rehabThe Silvermine West section of the Table

Mountain National Park has been re-opened.

Closed since fires destroyed large areas ofthe Peninsula in March last year, this sec-tion of the park has been rebuilt.

Following the March fires, most of the Sil-vermine and Tokai section have been closedoff to visitors for all activities in order forthe sections ranger team to get to work onrehabilitation projects. This included foot-path work, rebuilding of damaged struc-tures, closure of illegal paths, law enforce-ment and monitoring of the affected areas.

Table Mountain National Park reopenedSilvermine East in September while work atSilvermine West continued.

Work in this section included the rebuild-ing of all the boardwalks and walkwaysaround the Silvermine Dam, down the popu-lar River Walk as well as the viewing deckat Blackburn Ravine.

The Silvermine West section of Table Mountain National Park has been reopened after therebuilding of fire-damaged infrastructure, such as boardwalks.

Shooting at baboons does more harm than goodFollowing recent incidents in Scarborough,residents are reminded that it is illegal toshoot baboons with pellet guns.

“The City of Cape Town needs to remindthe public that it is illegal to discharge a pel-let gun in an urban area and moreover, bab-oons are a protected species in the WesternCape,” says Johan van der Merwe, mayoralcommittee member for energy, environmen-tal and spatial planning.

Animal welfare organisations condemnthe use of pellet guns on animals as shootinga baboon with a pellet gun causes terriblepain and rarely kills the animal, Van derMerwe explains. “The law also states that itis illegal to feed baboons; to poison, trap,

hurt or kill a baboon by driving with the in-tent to kill; hunt by shooting at baboons us-ing a pellet gun, catapult, bow and arrow,stoning, setting your dog on them or use ofa weapon of any kind to injure a baboon; orto keep a baboon in captivity without a per-mit. All these offences are punishable by lawand carry stiff penalties,” he says.

Chacma baboons form part of the Peninsu-la’s rich biodiversity and they play a poten-tially significant ecological role in Cape flo-ra. Under current management pro-grammes, the baboon population is growingsteadily and is neither endangered nor un-der threat.

The management of baboon troops in the

Cape Peninsula is undertaken jointly bythe City of Cape Town, Cape Nature, theNavy and Table Mountain National Park,who have set up the baboon technical team(BTT). The baboon liaison group, which ismade up of residents’ associations, meetsregularly with the BTT to discuss a rangeof issues related to protecting baboonsfrom retribution by residents.

The aim of both committees is to main-tain a sustainable baboon population thatlives in the natural areas.

The City is also mandated to protect resi-dents and visitors from raiding baboons.V Report any incidents to the baboon hotline on071 588 6540.

Six arrested soonafter murdersSix suspects were arrested soon after aspate of seven murders in Ocean View.

The first three murders occurred on Sat-urday 5 December at about 22:00.

Police received a report of a shooting atPypie Court. On arrival at the scene, theydiscovered the bodies of a male and femalewho had both been shot. A third person hadalso been shot and was taken to hospital ina critical condition, where he later died.

On Friday 11 December at about 23:30 atJasmine Circle, an alleged fight betweentwo men resulted in the fatal stabbing ofone of the two.

A second triple murder occurred on Sat-urday 12 December at 00:45 during a shoot-ing at Mars Way. On arrival at the scenepolice found the bodies of three people.

Five suspects were arrested on Saturday12 December in connection with the firsttwo incidents, and a sixth suspect was ar-rested on Monday 14 December.

Beachgoers are urged to be aware of sharksin False Bay, after almost 30 sharks have beenspotted since September.

The most sightings have occurred in the in-shore areas of Fish Hoek (10), followed byeight sightings in Muizenberg. There havebeen five sighting in Caves (Kogel Bay), threein Clovelly, two in Monwabisi and one in StJames.

“Shark Spotters are monitoring beachesand the Fish Hoek shark exclusion net is be-ing deployed and retrieved daily,” says Johanvan der Merwe, mayoral committee memberfor energy, environmental and spatial plan-ning. “Members of the public are encouragedto report any sightings of white sharks to theShark Spotters. Surfers are asked to be espe-cially vigilant in the stretch between Sunriseand Macassar beaches.”

The rate of encounters with great whitesharks rises significantly when the watertemperature is warmer (18ºC or higher) andduring new moon, due to increased opportuni-ties for feeding.

The Shark Spotters will keep beach usersinformed about the deployment of the FishHoek net via Twitter and Facebook, and sig-nage is displayed when the net is deployed.V The Shark Spotters Information Centre at MuizenbergSurfer’s Corner is open daily from 08:00 to 18:00.

MASIPHUMELELE

Clubs give reading joyCelebrating a year of driving literacy in

their community, partners in aMasiph-umelele network of reading clubs gatheredat Masiphumelele Library to recognise ayear of sharing stories with children.“When children read for enjoyment, not

only is their emotional well-being en-hanced, but their chances of success atschool are improved, irrespective of theirsocial or economic backgrounds,” explainsThulisaMayekiso, the literacymentorwhooversees Nal’ibali’s network of readingclubs in the Masiphumelele area.Nal’ibali reading clubs offer children

and their caregivers a space where theycan read, tell stories, talk about what theyare reading and get tips on how to read andshare stories at home in both English andhome languages. It is also an opportunityto meet with others in the area.“We started from humble beginnings in

2013 with just three children, but withmore children joining each week the need

to accommodate them in appropriate spacesbecame a pressing concern that required thesupport of partners,” says Mayekiso.Now, having collaborated with Rotary,

UkhanyoPrimarySchool andMasiphumele-le Library, who are running their own clubswith Nal’ibali’s support, the partners havegrown the Masiphumelele club base to 41;reaching asmany as 967 children eachweek.Run in schools, early childhood develop-

ment centres and the library, the clubs formpart of Nal’ibali’s network of over 700 read-ing clubs across the country.Susan Alexander, senior librarian at Ma-

siphumelele Library, says: “Libraries areabout reading and stories and Nal’ibali fitsthis perfectly.Our staff havebenefited great-ly fromNal’ibali’s training, and it is also im-portant for the community to have Nal’ibaliat the library, as,without their input, storiesand storytellingwould not have asmuch im-pact.”V For more information visit www.nalibali.org.

Beaches get manyfeet, and drinksNICOLE MCCAIN

The amount of alcohol confiscated onbeaches skyrocketed this festive season.The City of Cape Town’s enforcement

staff confiscated almost 16 796 bottles of al-cohol from beachgoers, a marked increasein the volume of alcohol seized comparedwith the same period last year, which saw10 280 bottles confiscated.Nearly 40%of all confiscations took place

in theCity’sAreaEast,which covers beach-es between Gordon’s Bay and Monwabisi.Over 6 600 bottles were confiscated frombeachgoers in this area.Beachgoers in Sea Point and the beaches

fromHout Bay toMuizenberg had 5 400 bot-tles confiscated.Visitors to beaches fromStrandfontein to

Wolfgat accounted for just over 2 500 bot-tles.The possession and consumption of alco-

hol on beach areas is not allowed and of-fenders can get a R500 fine, says JP Smith,mayoral committee member for safety andsecurity.Over a dozen drowning incidents took

place on local beaches, compared to onlythree last year, says Richard Bosman, theCity’s executive director of safety and secu-rity.“The number of drowning incidents is ex-

tremely disconcerting. To be fair, thebeaches have beenmuch busier than usual,but this is not a statistic that sits well withus,” he says.“We have noticed that people are visiting

beaches after hours when lifeguards haveleft for the day and unfortunately therehave also been a number of incidentswherebathers have ignored safety warnings andgone swimming in unsafe areas. Drinking

on the beaches and unattendedminors alsoplayed a role,” he says.Soaring temperatures have seen an in-

crease in the number of beachgoersthroughout the season, says Bosman.“Weusually see amassive spike invisitor

numbers to the beaches on priority dayslike the Day of Goodwill and New Year’sDay, but this season the numbers were con-sistently high because of the hot weatherand also the extended holiday weekends.”Elsewhere, enforcement agencies and

other City departments dealt with a raft ofevents, including New Year’s Eve celebra-tions, the Newlands cricket test and theKlopse and Cape Malay Choir events.“I think that many people don’t realise

the intensity of the holiday season and thedemands placed on staff, infrastructure andother resources. For example, we had to re-unite 259 children with their families on asingle day – one of whom was separatedfromhismother for fourhours.Butwehavelearnt to dealwith issues of this nature and,overall, we coped extremely well,” he says.

Over 16 000 bottles of alcohol were confiscatedfrom beachgoers over the festive season.

SIMON’S TOWN

Penguins betteroff under guardThere have been no further penguin fatal-

ities in Simon’s Town since protectionmeasures were introduced in November.Signs request the public to keep dogs

leashed at all times along Burghers’ Walk.Penguin monitors also ensure the pen-

guins are not harassed in any way by visit-ing public, says Johan van derMerwe,may-oral committee member for energy, envi-ronmental and spatial planning.“The penguin monitors will continue to

patrol the area from sunrise to sunset on afull-time basis until 31 January. Their con-tinued presence will then be evaluated bythe City of Cape Town.”Leashes are mandatory for all dogs along

Burghers’Walk, as a recent survey of breed-ing penguins indicate that of the 982 nestscounted, 109 nests are located just alongBurghers’ Walk and areas immediatelysouth of Burghers’ Walk.Windmill Beach (the sand area only) re-

mains a free-running beach for dogs. How-ever, dog owners must ensure that theirdogs are under control at all times and thatthey do not approach penguins.Dog walkers are to keep their dogs on

leashes when arriving at and departingfrom Windmill Beach.Camera traps remain in the entire area

to monitor attacks on penguins.The penguin monitors working in the ar-

ea have been tasked to ensure that penguinsare not harassed, interferedwith or impact-ed on by visitors. They are supported byCity law enforcement and members of thepublic are advised to heed their requestsand instructions.The African penguin is endangered, with

a steady decline in numbers over the pastdecade. Prior to the implementation of thepenguin protectionmeasures, more than 40penguins had been killed between Januaryand October, most likely by dogs.

NICOLE MCCAIN@nickymccain

Schools in the City’s Metro South districthave been congratulated after notable in-creases in their matric pass rates.South Peninsula High improved from

95.8% to 98% and Simon’s Town High im-proved from 87.7% in 2014 to 93.3%.Wynberg Secondary achieved 87.4%, also

better than the previous year’s 79.6%.

The average pass rate in the area in-creased by nearly 10 percentage points. In2014 schools achieved an average pass rateof 76.3% and last year 85%.However, provincial education minister

DebbieSchäfer says it is important to ensurethe quality of passes.“Given the many challenges our educa-

tion system faces, improving the quality ofeducation is only possible through sus-tained interventions in our schools and the

hard work of thematrics, their teachers anddistrict officials. It is a multi-year process.“We are pleased that this effort is reaping

results,” she says.There is also growth in the number of can-

didates writing and passing Mathematicsand Physical Science in the province.Last year a record number of almost 13 000

matriculants passed Mathematics, com-pared to 11 000 in 2014. The pass rate was74.9%.

In Physical Science, the numbers passingincreased from11 000 in 2014 to 12 000. Physi-cal Science pupils got a 73.3% pass rate.Great emphasis is also placed on ensuring

pupils stay in the school system for as longas possible.“We are very encouraged by the improve-

ment in our rate of retention over the pastfive years. Last year the Western Cape yetagain managed to increase our retentionrate from 63.8% in 2014 to 66.8%,” she says.

The additional interventions to helphomeless people over the festive season

will run until the end of January.The City of Cape Town’s street people re-

integration unit will work closelywith cen-tral improvement districts and other orga-nisations to reduce the number of peoplemoving to the streets, as well as antisocialbehaviour like aggressive begging.The projectwill focus onMuizenberg, the

city centre, Green Point, Bellville and Par-ow, with the aim of reducing the numberof people living on the street through inter-ventions like screening people, distribut-ing information about City programmesand resources, referrals to social andhealth services and reintegration withtheir families.It follows a pilot project in the city centre

in December 2014. The reintegration unitteam identified a number of challenges, in-cluding many street people and beggarscaught in thegripof substanceabuse, streetpeople selling donated food to local vendorsfor cash, an unwillingness to accept helpand members of the public who are una-ware of the City’s “give responsibly” cam-paign, says Suzette Little,mayoral commit-teemember for social development and ear-ly childhood development.“We have daily interventions aimed at

assisting street people, but the festive sea-son does see an increase in people migrat-ing to the streets – whether for potentialeconomic gain or because of family andoth-er social reasons. As with any other city,we’re caught in the unenviable position ofmanaging the rights of street people andthose of the rest of the population. Streetpeople cannot, and should not, be margina-lised, but nor can we ignore the daily com-plaints from across the city about the im-pact street people have on the lives of oth-ers,” she says.The reintegration unit facilitated a re-

turn home for 85 people in its first threemonths of operation.
