OCEAN VIEW, MASIPHUMELELE

Locals to give SOS helpNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

A pilot project to train communitymem-bers as first responders in emergenciesis underway in Ocean View and Ma-

siphumelele.The project, in partnership with the pro-

vincial health department, was started afteremergency and ambulance staff noted on ar-riving at a scene that there weren’t any resi-dents who were able to offer some form ofbasic medical care while waiting for profes-sional medical help, explains subcouncilchairperson Felicity Purchase.“They noticed there was no-one trained as

first responders in Ocean View and Masi-phumelele and that there wasn’t first-aidknowledge in the communities,” she says.The pilot project, which will see about 20

people trained in basic first aid, will look to“train people on what to do until helpcomes”, Purchase explains.Finding yourself in a medical emergency

without any knowledge can be quite scary,says community worker Marti Weddepohl,especially with a shortage of ambulancesservicing the community and clinics that donot operate 24 hours.“A project like this is long overdue. The

more training to empower the community,the better,” she says.

Robert Daniels, spokesperson on emer-gency medical services of the provincialhealth department, says these areaswere se-lected to help the department’s responserate.“We focus on communities where our re-

sponse rate is negatively affected by factorsoutside of our control and also communitieswith fewer response vehicles. This commu-nity, for instance, requested the trainingand other communities are welcome to re-quest training from their local EmergencyMedical Services (EMS) station,” he says.The training will include fourmodules re-

lated to stabilising a patient, CPR, chokingand other emergency procedures such as

tending to a patient who is bleeding due tostabbing or a gunshot wound, Daniels says.The training will also teach participants

to respond to asthma attacks, epilepsy andblood pressure-related conditions.“The long-term goal is to have an im-

provedpatient outcomeaswell as reduce thestrain on EMS in heavily populated commu-nities,” he says.However, Weddepohl cautions that the

trainingmust include thenecessary first-aidtools, such as medical kits and refreshercourses, to allow them to be effective. She al-so believes consideration must be given toa deployment strategy to ensure first re-sponders know when and where to respond.

year’s edition of the race at the museum inthe city centre last week.Farouk Meyer of Itheko Sport Athletic

Club and organiser for the Slave Route Chal-lenge explains runners will have a specificpurpose and a special honour in this year’srace, referring to the “column of memory”onwhich the names of 8000men, women andchildren are inscribed.“This year, every person who registers

will run on behalf of one of these names onthe column, allowing each runner to honoura specific personwhowas an important partof our country’s past.”Organisers say the Slave Route Challenge

historically significant landmarks, such asthe Castle of Good Hope, Grand Parade, theWhipping Post, Old Slave Church, the IzikoSlave Lodge and the Slave Tree Plaque.“Today the Iziko Slave Lodge is a site of

memory – a place of reconciliation andhope.The SlaveRouteChallenge provides the run-ners the opportunity to actively engagewiththis history and to, beyond the race, explore,discover, reflect and reconnect with theirroots,” says Paul Tichmann, curator of theIziko Slave Lodge.Meyer says this year’s raceaims tohonour

individuals and celebrate the collective his-tory and diversity of both the race entrantsand the people they are remembering.“This takes the race to a whole new level,

and personalises it for each runner, while atthe same time instilling a sense of unity andmeaning – something so critical at this pointin time for our country,” says Meyer.

Pupils of Ocean View High School arespeakingupagainst crime.Agroupof pu-

pils, allmembers of the representative coun-cil of learners (RCL), recently presented apetition at a public meeting on crime in thearea. The pupils appealed to police to helpreduce drugs and crime at the school.The school faces drug dealing and violent

behaviour among some pupils, says RCLvice-chairperson JP Rossouw. He says thepupils were invited by the local civic associ-ation to voice their concerns.He believes more sports activities need to

be made available to pupils, as the school’scurrent programme offers pupils a safespace and has proven its success.“We need more police visibility because

kids are scared,” he also says. “The crimein the community affects pupils’ academics,especially in the lower grades where thereis poor performance.Wehope the police’s in-volvement at the school will increase due tothe petition.”

Three police raids have been carried outat the school in the last two months.Captain Angie Latchman,Wynberg police

cluster spokesperson, says the Ocean Viewpolice are working in partnership with theschool to address and prevent assaults, in-timidation, drug abuse and drug dealingamong learners.“Ocean View police have implemented

regular patrols and increased police visibili-ty, awareness campaigns focusing on drugand alcohol abuse, the introduction of thesafer schools programme and interventionwith parents,” she says.Shereen Klein, the staff member liaising

with theRCL, says the school faces anumberof safety challenges. Some pupils are knownto have associations with gangs, but theschool’s “hands are tied” unless transgres-sions take place on schoolgrounds.“Pupils also come to schoolhighly trauma-

tised and there is a lack of counselling facili-ties for those who have witnessed crimes.”Klein believes parents need to take an ac-

tive interest in their children’s lives andpro-vide positive role models.

Did you know that a plastic bottle cap hashealing powers?Operation Smile has partnered with Fair

Cape Dairies and libraries in the provinceto change the lives of children across SouthAfrica who are born with cleft lips or cleftpalates.Lastmonth theOperationSmile campaign

was launched. It will end on World SmileDay in October.The aim is to double the amount of money

raised last year.As part of this they encourage the public

to collect plastic bottle caps of Fair CapeDairies products and any other plastic bottlecaps.Every kilogram of bottle tops collected

will be recycled. Independent auditors willensure that the money raised will go to-wards paying for the vital surgery the childbeneficiaries need. Each operation costsR5500.

“Every threeminutes, a child is bornwitha cleft lip or a cleft palate. Children bornwith cleft conditions may suffer torments,malnourishment and difficulty withspeech,” says Adva Brivik of OperationSmile.“This is the fourthmost common birth de-

fect in the world and it takes as little as 45minutes to repair a cleft lip or cleft palateto allow these children to smile and live nor-mal lives,” says Louis Loubser, head mar-keter of Fair Cape Dairies.“And saving your plastic bottle tops for re-

cycling is such an easy thing to do.“We really hope that the public will back

this campaign so that the lives of many chil-dren can be changed.”V Look out for collection bins at the libraries in FishHoek, Sea Point, Athlone, Claremont, Rondebosch, Ob­ervatory, Woodstock, Pinelands, Tableview, Bothasig,Somerset West, Strand, Brackenfell, Goodwood, Par­ow and Bellville.

DISRUPTION OFWATER SUPPLY:CAPRI AND FISH HOEKTuesday 22 March 2016 andWednesday 23 March 2016

The City of Cape Town’s Water and Sanitation Department will be completing a zero pressuretest on the water supply feeding the water supply zone in Capri on Tuesday 22 March 2016and Fish Hoek on Wednesday 23 March 2016.

This will result in the disruption of the water supply to these areas from 22:00 until 04:00 thefollowing morning.

The work has been planned carefully to ensure minimal disruption of the water supply in theaffected areas.

For maintenance and upgrading, the water supply network across the city is divided intoreticulation zones which are smaller and much more manageable sections of the largenetwork. This work forms part of the City’s Water Demand Management Plan and willsignificantly reduce the occurrence of pipe bursts and subsequent water losses.

Please store water in clean sealed containers for domestic use during this period.

The City regrets any inconvenience caused.

Matrics hit the road for rhinosGARY VAN DYK

@gvdcapejazz

Three matriculants of Bishops have beenmotivated to take to the road for rhinos

during the school holidays.Their “riding for rhinos” project will see

the three pupils of Diocesan College in Ron-debosch tackling 600km from Cape Town toKnysna, starting on Thursday.The three involved in this venture areCal-

lam Tait, Matt Perrott and Chris Hyslop andthey will raise funds for Rhinos WithoutBorders. Callam and Matt will be cyclingwhile Chris does admin and fundraising.Paula Tait, Callam’s mother, says she is

very proud of the boys’ project. They weremotivated to start it after Rhinos WithoutBorders hosted a presentation at theirschool.“The ride has generated much interest

and their target of fundraising R200 000 is onthe way to being realised,” she says.“To date they have already raised more

than R200 000 with support from many gen-erous donors.“They have also been offered an opportu-

nity to meet the anti-poaching team at Gon-dwana Private Game Reserve on their wayinto Knysna.”The teenagers feel that rhino poaching in

Southern Africa is at an all-time high and

so they would like to do their part in secur-ing the rhinos’ future by raising funds forRhinos Without Borders over a six-day pe-riod.“The funds we raise will go to the securi-

ty and monitoring of the rhinos duringtranslocation,” says Callam, speaking onbehalf of the team.“We have always been passionate advo-

cates for South African nature conserva-tion and, in particular, rhino poaching.Webelieve it is one of ourmost pressing issuesas rhinos are on the brink of extinction.“This year we decided that we could no

longer just sit and support vocally but rath-er had to get out and make a valuable con-

tribution to saving the rhino.”It costs aboutR300 000 per rhino for its cap-

ture, quarantine and translocation, andabout R200 000 per rhino for the security andmonitoring. This makes a total of R500 000per rhino.“We aim to raise R200 000 which would

cover the costs of security and monitoringone rhino,” Callam says.“All three of us are in our final year of

school and as 17-year-olds we would love tohelp inspire the youth of our country to sup-port nature conservation and help them tobelieve that they can make a difference.”V For more information visit https://www.given­gain.com/activist/154523/projects/12143/donations/.

Thick bush around the Silvermine wet-lands will receive the chop as the City

of Cape Town starts to clear overgrown veg-etation.The City’s project targets plants that

grow fast and are thick, like metalasia,chrysanthemoides and rhus, explains Riv-erine Rovers chairperson Terry Rothwell.“Over time these plants have grown to the

extent that they are now a security and firehazard. They also prevent the growth of oth-er biodiversity,” he says.Belinda Walker, Mayco member for com-

munity services and special projects, saysthe City will be clearing some of the vegeta-tion, mainly along the pathways, starting

this week.“The area has become overgrown, espe-

cially along pathways, which poses a firerisk,” she says.All the trees have been marked and they

will not be cleared, Rothwell says.“Some bird lifewill be disturbed, but they

will comebackwhen the rains come and thevegetation starts growing again.We should,hopefully, see many new plants during andafter winter,” he says.Removal of the reeds in the wetland is

planned for next month, says Brett Herron,Mayco member for transport.“The local roads and stormwater depot of

Transport for Cape Town, the City’s trans-port authority, annually removes the reeds,sand and litter from the three silt traps atSilvermine,” he says.

LEGAL TALK WITH DENZIL

How to use the lawto protect victimsDomestic violence is an ever-increasingproblem. And it is not uncommon for do-mestic violence to escalate into even moreserious crimes like murder.It is for this reason that helping mecha-

nisms, like “restraining order”,” protectionorder” and “domestic violence interdict”,have been introduced. It is available for freeand should be used to protect the victim.There aremany categories of victimswho

may apply for such legal help. It is most of-ten used in domestic relationships. But do-mestic relationships are not just restrictedto people who are married. They includepeople who live or have lived together, whoare familymembers (a sibling or uncle mayalso be abusive), who have a child together,are in-laws or are dating.The court order tells an abuser to stop the

abuse and sets certain conditions prevent-ing the abuser from harassing or abusingthe victim again.Applying is free, unless an attorney is

used. When an attorney is involved, eachparty usually bears his own costs.The victim can apply at a court, but for

after-hour applications theymust go to a po-lice station. However, not all courts workthe sameway – some only handle protectionorder applications on certain days and atcertain times. It is best to find out at the po-lice station.Once a protection order is granted, it is

valid until the victim withdraws it.Victims also have the right to bring a

criminal charge against their abusers in ad-dition if the domestic abuse contained an el-ement of violence.Themagistrate will first grant an interim

(temporary) protection order to stop theabuser from:. Committing domestic violence.. Asking another person’s help to commitdomestic violence..Entering a shared residence or a specifiedpart thereof.

. Abusing the victim financially.

. Entering the victim’s residence (whichthe order may also keep secret).To ensure the victim has a strong case,

take note of the following.

Gather information and documentation. Keep written notes of all the dates, timesand types of domestic violence committed.. Get all the personal details of the abuser,including his home andwork addresses, tel-ephone numbers and identity number..Ensure you have your identity document.

You don’t have to, but it will help if youalso have. Photos of the physical abuse.. A photo of the abuser.. Photos of the violence if any goods orproperty were damaged.. Papers showing who bought the items ifyour goods or property were damaged.. Letters confirming the fact that you havebeen abused. You can get letters from socialworkers, doctors, etc.. Statements from people who witnessedthe abuse.. A J88 form completed by a doctor of inju-ries (bruises, wounds, etc.).

Get helpAny member of the police must help the

victim in every way necessary, includingexplaining your rights, what you can do tostop the abuse by using the law, finding asafe place for you to stay or helping youmake arrangements to find a place and get-ting you medical treatment.Remember abuse is not just physical but

can be emotional abuse as well, whichwould include threats.V This column was contributed by Denzil Jacobs, anadmitted advocate with expertise in commercial law.For guidance on legal issues email him on dr.ddj@hotmail.com or read his column in People’s Post nextmonth.

Outcry overcomparisonWhile I am outraged and saddened atthe brutal killings of two teenagers,19-year-old Sinoxolo Mafevuka fromKhayelitsha and 16-year-old FranziskaBlöchliger from Kalk Bay, I am leftbewildered by the insensitivity of somesectors of our communities highlightingthe inequality of police investigationsand resources.Both families have suffered equal loss

and both communities and the nationare understandably devastated.But I question and am saddened by

the intention of illustrating the differen-ces in resources afforded to each of theghastly incidents.When our nation should be question-

ing the national government in respectof resourcing provinces equitably inpolicing, education and human settle-ments, then wherein lies the blame forthe disparity?Crime and justice is colour blind and

so too is the bereavement after the lossof a loved one. There is no cure orquick-fix for sorrow or healing. For theMafevuka and Blöchliger families theirtragic losses are permanent.Let us, for the sake of nation-building,

work on the symptomatic effects ofcrime and the prevention thereof, byaddressing the issue of economicdisproportion to effect healing andreconciliation.The killing of the two teenagers

highlights the disparity between thehaves and havenots in society, but letus proactively tackle economic andsocial disparity collectively as a nation.

Let’s unite for toilet healthOur valley is beautiful and we are allfortunate to live here. But there isanother side, as the picture (taken onMonday 29 February) shows. That iswhat life is about when one is poor. Thestormwater drains have become openstagnant sewers. The smell is dreadful.The City of Cape Town aims for 25

people per toilet but in the “wetlands” itis over 80 people per toilet. This is basedon 11 000 people living in that area, asopposed to outdated figures the officialsuse. At present there are only 137 toiletsfor this area. Many toilets are broken.The sanitation situation has become a

huge health risk.We must all unite to ask that this

situation be remedied urgently. Thiscosts money, but let’s sit together asresidents from throughout the valley tofind solutions rather than point fingers.

HORST KLEINSCHMIDT,Email

. Response from Ernest Sonnenberg,Mayco member for utility services:The approximately 2040 households in

Masiphumelele informal settlement areserviced by 222 toilets. This provision isin line with national guidelines.The City would like to provide more

toilets but, due to the density and legalconstraints, the installation is notpossible. The City has offered to roll outportable flush toilets and chemical toiletsbut this was blocked by communityleadership.

. Response from Brett Herron, Maycomember for transport:The local roads and stormwater depot

of Transport for Cape Town (TCT), theCity’s transport authority, removed siltand sludge from the canals in Masiphu-melele in December last year.As for litter, TCT has a team of eight

people removing objects that are dumpedin these canals every day of the week,including public holidays. The removal oflitter by hand has been going on formore than a year, but the volume andpace of dumping make it nearly impossi-ble to keep the canals clean.As such, we need the residents of

Masiphumelele to please work with usand to refrain from dumping into thecanals.

A hostof local professional and amateurperformers used this year’s “StreetLife” theme to celebrate the differ-ent cultures of Cape Town residents.Simon Shiffman was there tocapture the action.

The Cape Town Rollergirls also rolled in onthe action.

“Street Life” goes hand-in-hand with streetfood.

Some say sales are a girl’s best friend.

Some costumes were reminicent of the SoccerWorld Cup, which is where the carnival got itsstart.

CAPE TOWN CARNIVAL

Some of the outfits on show were bloomin’ beautiful.

Some costumes were a mixture of intrigueand beauty.

parade in their economical “cars”..

No carnival would be complete without music.

Dancers of all kinds of disciplines added theirstyle to the spectacular displays.

Falcons stop A’s double dreamJOSEPH PILLAY

Glenthorn A’s have missed theleague and knockout cup dou-ble as they were beaten 2-1 by

Falcons at Turfhall Stadium onSunday.

Steven Rodkin, Glenthorn headcoach, did get silverware on Satur-day when his side beat Falcons 8-1in the final game of the Cape TownSoftball Association’s superleague.

It was the fifth consecutive sea-son that A’s walked away with thesuper league honours.

In what must go down as one ofthe most exciting showdowns everwitnessed and much to the delightof the ballpark fans on Sunday, An-dre Alexander’s inspired Falconsside rose to the occasion to defendtheir knockout cup title in a tensefinal.

It was quite a remarkable gamein more ways than one with thematch-winning double play takingplace in the bottom of the sixthframe.

The play saw Falcons stoppingand preventing their opponentsfrom scoring the equalising runand potentially set up the winningruns that would change the match.

The grandstand finish was set up

by Carla Swanepoel, who broughtthe A’s back to being one down inthe fourth frame.

Scoreless fiveThen, following a scoreless fifth

frame from either side, A’s securedthree safe base hits by CourtneyStevens, Cindy Davids and DeidreSasman in the sixth inning.

With the bases loaded, A’sthreatened to score the much-need-ed runs to win the contest. Butnext-up batter Jean Bell fly foundWaseema Scott in the deep. Bell’sdeadly peg to shot stop fielder Ni-cole Alexander set up a furtherplay with catcher Samantha Jones.This led to a match-winning doubleplay in which Stevens was stoppedin her tracks just short of the homeplate.

Alexander’s three bagger in thesecond frame contributed to twoRBIs that enabled Kelly Julie andScott to cross the home plate safely.

They were able to hold onto their2-0 lead until Glenthorn reducedthe deficit to one – scoring Swane-poel from the bat of Sasman’s two-base hit.

Lauren Mulder led the pitchingduel for Glenthorn. In her six in-nings spell she faced 26 batters,claimed six scalps and allowed two

base-on-balls while she gave up sixhits to Bettina Philips (2-3), Scott(1-2), Alexander, Jones and Julie(each 1-3).

Meanwhile, Falcons pitcherJones, in her six innings contest,conceded nine hits to the 26 Glen-thorn batters she faced.

She earned two strike-out vic-tims, allowed one base-on-ball andconceded hits to Alex Fortune, Sas-man (each 2-3), Cindy Davids (1-2),Lisa Erasmus, Astrid van Krester-en, Swanepoel and Stevens (each1-3).

“We were beaten and credit mustgo to Falcons who once again re-corded a victory in a breathtakingfinal,” said a disappointed Rodkinafter the match.

Falcons coach Alexander had abroad smile on his face.

“It may have been sweet revenge

as to our league defeat on Saturdayand though I would have loved towon the league title, I’m extremelyhappy and proud of the team thatthey put up a brave and good fightthat was exceptionally excellentand good enough for us to defendour coveted knockout title,” hesaid.
