MUIZENBERG:

Partnering over parkingNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Formalised and controlled parking mayhold the answer to safety concerns atMuizenberg beachfront, locals believe.

This as the Muizenberg Improvement Dis-trict (MID) and the City of Cape Town enterdiscussions on a jointly managed parkingarea.

There have been numerous reports of har-assment and alleged illegal activity over thelast few years, according to MuizenbergRatepayers’ Association chairperson RobinSolomon.

“On the whole, the car guards do not addany value to visitors’ experience of Muizen-

berg beach. On the contrary – they often har-ass visitors and some are allegedly involvedin petty crime and drug dealing. As such,they undermine all the community’s effortsand investments in thebeach front,”he says.

In 2012, a “Beach Buddies” programmesaw car guards who had passed securityclearance approved to work at the parkinglot.

However, the project was not registeredwith the City of Cape Town and was dis-solved.

Residents now say they would either liketo see the car guards removed and a reasona-ble fee charged for parking, or the vetting ofan approval of car guards working there bylocal police.

MID chairperson Steven Frankal says theorganisation has “grappled with the prob-lem of informal car guarding at the beach-front parking area” for five years now.

“The MID receives regular complaintsfrom our community about the safety threatposed by informal car guarding on thebeachfront. We also monitor social mediadiscussions which detail endless complaintsand concerns about personal safety. Thefeedback clearly demonstrates the view thatlocals and visitors frequently feel vulnera-ble and unsafe; residents post about mug-gings, being harassed for money and otheralleged criminal activity,” he says.

MID has lobbied since 2011 to deal with the“undesirable situation”, and has attempted

to intervene through hiring additional lawenforcement officers, introducing commu-nity based projects to manage the car guardsin a more structured way, private fundingfor additional security along the beachfrontand ongoing engagement with City officials,Frankal says.

“The MID would like to see a collaborativeagreement between the City and the Im-provement District that allows for the park-ing area to be formalised and controlled, cre-atinga safe and secureparking environmentto benefit all visitors. The MID is currentlyengaging with City role players with a viewto reaching agreement on putting a jointlymanaged parking area in place,” he says.V Continued on page 2.

However, not all car guards are problem-atic, with one who apprehended a thiefthat was breaking into a car and flaggingdown local police, says Gary Kleynhans,owner of Gary’s Surf on the beachfront.Charlie Mbambla regularly appre-

hends suspects who attempt to steal bagsand is trusted by the locals to safeguardkeys and wallets, he says.“There are two elements within the car

guards. Some are tikmonsters, while oth-ers like Charlie are reliable,” he says.“Formalising the parking is going to betricky, but there needs to be some formof screening. Most car guards are self ap-pointed – they just buy a bib and chasethe others off.”Johan van der Merwe, Mayoral com-

mittee member for energy, environmen-tal and spatial planning, says currentlycar guards do not have City permissionto operate in the area.There are no specific bylaws regarding

car guards, explains JP Smith, Mayoralcommittee member for safety and securi-

ty.“However, they are subject to the same

laws as other residents, including, for ex-ample, the Streets, Public Places and Pre-vention of Nuisance Bylaw,” he says.This prohibits harassment, the block-

ing of parking spaces and aggressive beg-ging.The proposal is to provide a formal

parking service to the area that will re-sult in the removal of informal carguards, and the provision of formal secu-rity for visitors and their vehicles andbetter management of the traffic conges-tion within the parking area, explainsVan der Merwe. The City is looking to-wards formalising all aspects of the park-ing area with a focus on formal securityfrom 07:00 to 23:00 daily.“A draft agreement has been prepared

and a meeting is scheduled to look to-wards finalising a management agree-ment between the City and the Muizen-berg Improvement District regardingthis matter,” he adds.

NOORDHOEK:

Local to cycle toZambia for treesNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

People need to becomemore conscious ofwhat they’re using and what they’re

throwing away.This is the message a Noordhoek local

hopes to promote while raising funds forthe non-profit organisation Greenpop.Jason Ruger, a self-proclaimed environ-

mental activist, adventurer and extremesportsman, will be cycling 3000km fromCape Town to Zambia alone – all in supportof the reforestation organisation. He willbe raising money for trees to be planted atthe Zambia Festival of Action, a volunteerand community involved initiative thatsees thousands of trees planted in andaround Livingstone.Zambia has seen rampant deforestation

in recent decades, mainly as a result of badland management, slash and burn farmingmethods, unsustainable logging and treecutting for charcoal, explains Greenpopspokesperson Liam Brickhill.The Zambia Forestry Department puts

the rate of deforestation in the Livingstonearea at 5% per year, he says.Ruger is passionate about rainforests

and reforestation.“Rainforests are a vital part of our eco-

system.Theyabsorb carbondioxide and re-lease oxygen. They’re storehouses for wa-ter and home to thousands of species,” hesays.Ruger has always loved nature. As a

small boy, hewould often steal away to anysmall patch of forest or clump of trees hecould find. These became his playground,along with the waves of Kommetjie beach.An avid climber and surfer, the 34-year-

old has never attempted a cycling journeyof thismagnitude – in fact, he has yet to buyhis bicycle due to a lack of sponsorship, de-spite planning to depart in the first weekof May.But this only adds to the adventure, Ru-

ger believes, and he is currently followinga training schedule to prepare for the jour-ney. “I’m looking forward to spending qui-et nights along the roadside,” he says.Ruger is no stranger to adventure, the

first of which took place when he was only18 months old. His father bought a yachtand the family set sail to the Mediterrane-an, with his mother learning navigationalong the way.His father passed on this love for sailing

and Ruger is an experienced yacht deliverycaptain with a long history of transoceanicsailing.But Ruger decided he wanted something

different when choosing his up-coming“overland adventure”.“I’m going to putmyself up against the ele-

ments and see how I fare,” he says.Ruger trusts that the cycling journey will

not only raise funds for Greenpop, but willalso create awareness about what we con-sume.“We’re so disconnected. We don’t know

where our food comes from. If you grow foodand put in your time and energy, you feelconnected to it,” he says.“Even vegetarians experience this. The

crop contributing to the largest amount ofdestruction to the Amazon is soya.”At a local level, deforestation radically al-

ters the ecosystemand impacts biodiversity,Brickhill explains.“Trees give shade, moderate local temper-

atures, clean the air, hold rainwater, aid inthe replenishing of the water table and con-tribute to the health and productivity of thesoil. Without trees, all of these areas are im-pacted and so the effects of droughts andfloods are increased, as is erosion, and thereis a negative impact on food security.”Ruger plans to establish a non-profit orga-

nisation to assist conservation organisa-tions aswell as creating awareness for greenand sustainable living. It’s partnerships likethese that enable organisations such asGreenpop to carry out their work, he says.“Our partnerships with the local commu-

nity, along with volunteers from the regionand overseas, have helped to get thousandsof trees in the ground in and around Living-stone,” Brickhill says.But trees in the ground are only a part of

what Greenpop is trying to achieve.“We’re not there to save Zambia, to re-

verse reforestation and provide a solution.The planet doesn’t need saving: we do. Whatwe can do is host a space that sparks envi-ronmental awareness, that helps people toattach real value to trees and the idea of re-forestation, and brings ideas and networksto the area. This will hopefully lead to agreater appreciation of nature, inspiringpeople to get active and change their worlds.This is the main impact of our partnershipwith the public and volunteers,” he says.V For more information, visit www.givengain.com/ac-tivist/129032/projects/12263 or like “Cape Town toZambia for Trees”on Facebook

Some of South Africa’s favourite songbirdswill be coming together at the GrandWestGrand Arena on Saturday 7 May for the Peo-ple’s Post Soul Sisters Mother’s Day Celebra-tion.The concert which will see Three Tons of

Fun, Judith Sephuma, Vicky Sampson, JodyWilliams, Salome Johansen, Maddy Abra-hams and Can Skylark share the stage withCamillo Lombard and a 12 piece band as wellas MC Marguerita Freeks.People’s Post caught up with Can Skylark

ahead of the concert.. What are you busy with musically at

the moment?“Currently, I’ve been busy with The Mo-

tive over the last few months. It’s my musicskills development initiative my team and Ihave founded. It’s a really great opportunityfor the selected aspiring artists, where weteach them all they need to know about whatit’s like being an artist in the music industryand showcase their talents to the world. Theproject is very dear to my heart and allowsme to do and inspire others to do what theylove. At themomentwe’re busy in the studio,writing and developing original songs for theartists for the show in July.”

. What are your musical plans for thenext few months?“After The Motive Show in July (I’m very

excited about it), I’ll be heading overseas todo a few shows in the USA. The outstandinglove that my single “Timebomb” received,have opened up some great doors for me; I’vebeen recording and releasing some singlesthere too. I’ll be working on my third studioalbum with some amazing producers in LosAngeles, USA while there, one being SteveValenzuela, who’s just produced new musicfor Eric Benet.I’m also working closely with great song-

writers in South Africa for the album, andhave another Can Skylark stage productionplanned for later in the year when I comeback, so I’ll try to have some down time withall the work going on.”

.Howwill you be treating yourmotherthis Mother’s Day?“Unfortunately, my mother lives overseas

in Kuwait, and I miss her dearly. We spendas much time as we can together when she’s

in SA, so I spoil her rotten as often as I can!My sisters and I Skype with and talk to herquite often, so on the rare occasion we get tospend time togetherwe do all the girly thingsand have so much fun.”

. Why is your mother special to you?“My mother is special to me, because she

taughtmehow to be a strongwomanandhowto accept your flaws and celebrate yourstrengths.Amother’s job is never really doneand I think that we should show all women,not just mothers, unconditional love and ap-preciation. Women have a very special giftof compassion and I think it’s an amazinggift. Let’s show our support to all women outthere. We’re really very blessed.”

. Are you planning any surprises forthe audience at thePeople’s Post Soul Sis-ters Mother’s Day Celebration?“I don’t want to reveal toomuch, so be sure

to get your tickets to support the show! Onething’s for sure though, let’s just say, it’s go-ing to be H-O-T!”V Tickets for this soulful celebration cost between R165and R250 and are available at Computicket.

Over 30 problem buildings in the FarSouth are under investigation.

The City of Cape Town’s latest Prob-lem Building Unit reports 33 cases inSubcouncil 19. The unit works on dere-lict and vandalised buildings acrossthe city.

Thirteen of the cases are in Ward 61and 20 in Ward 64, says Mayco memberfor safety and security, JP Smith.

“The cases are all at various stagesof investigation,” he says.

“Problem buildings are not just aneyesore in terms of physical appear-ance, but they also tend to be driversof crime and antisocial behaviour asthey’re known to be havens for illegaloccupiers and criminal elements whocause headaches – not just for the restof the area, but also the local law en-forcement agencies.”

During a recent presentation to vari-ous subcouncils, the difference be-tween a problem building and “a build-ing with problems” was discussed.

Problem buildings are buildingsabandoned by the owner, appearingderelict or overcrowded, with healthconcerns and where written com-plaints of criminal activity have beenreceived.

Problem buildings may also be de-clared where there is prostitution anddrug dealing, illegal occupation, an ac-cumulation of waste or a threat to thesafety of the public.

However, issues such as overgrownvegetation, unpainted buildings, dere-lict cars on the property, unlawfulbusiness and land invasion do not fallunder problem buildings.

Incomplete buildings, rat infesta-tions and loud noises also do not fallunder the work of the problem build-ings unit.

When a building is declared a prob-lem building, a tariff of R5000 permonth is added onto the rates accountfor the property.

Problembuildingsunderscrutiny

The Open Door community developmentand social work project in Ocean View,

managed by Valley Development Projects(VDP), now has a new multi-purpose facilitywhich was officially opened today (Tuesday5 April).

The Open Door feeding scheme providesa wholesome meal every week day to morethan 200 children from poverty strickenhomes in the area. Previously it operated outof a building that was cobbled together fromthree converted shipping containers, withlimited space.

Rotary Club of Cape of Good Hope, RotaryClub of Newlands and Peninsula Beveragespartnered with VDP in managing and fi-nancing construction of the new building onMilky Way Road. The new building boastsa large meeting hall, a kitchen to accommo-date catering at capacity, offices for socialworkers and a space for group therapy andout-patient substance abuse counselling.The new facility has plenty of room for chil-

dren to eat inside and then remain at thevenue so that they can participate in the aft-er-school care programme.

VDP coordinator Shirley Dunn says: “TheOpen Door Community DevelopmentProject has been a beacon of hope and lightin Ocean View for more than 15 years. Theprevious premises were far too small to suf-ficiently meet the needs of the community,particularly during rainy winter days. Weare thrilled to open this new facility that willenable the Open Door to better serve manypeople in Ocean View.”

The Open Door’s after school programmeprovides learners between the ages of sixand 18 years with access to facilities to com-plete their homework. As part of the after-school programme, these youngsters re-ceive educational support, learn new words,read books from the library corner and com-pete in fun talent competitions as well as oth-er games that encourage positive socialskills.

The Open Door Social Work project, oper-ating in the same building, provides parent-ing workshops, family counselling, supportfor children’s court investigation, fostercare placement and supervision, drug abusecounselling and mediation for communitymembers.

The building provides a professional andsafe environment for parents and childrento receive the counselling, support and at-tention they so badly need. It is seen as asafe, stimulating place for children in thiscommunity which keeps them off the streetsand helps develop positive social skills.

Open Door’s community developmentproject manager, Sherine Arendse, says:“We had close to 100 children at the last holi-day club in the new building. Previously wecould not even run a holiday club becausethere was no space. Since we moved into thebuilding, the number of children attendingthe weekly youth group has increased from45 to 95 every Friday evening.”

The Open Door community development and social work project inOcean View now has a new multipurpose facility.

The facility has allowed Open Door to run a holiday programme for100 children, which was not possible in the old building.

Funding dream toprevent poachingNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

A Muizenberg local has big plans to pre-venting poaching and he’s calling on

others to become involved in his dream.Andries Heyns is crowdfunding to attend

an intensive anti-poaching training courseand become an anti-poaching ranger, afterwhich he hopes to use his academic back-ground to design state-of-the-art anti-poach-ing surveillance networks.Earlier this month, Heyns

obtained his PhD in geospatialfacility location, following onan masters degree related tomilitary decisionmaking prin-ciples and degree in electronicengineering and computer sci-ence. Last yearHeynswas pub-lished in the South AfricanJournal of Industrial Engi-neering for an article related toobservation camera placementat the MeerKAT phase of theSKA telescope project.“Growing up in Muizenberg

I’ve always spent a lot of time in nature –the ocean, the mountains, the forests allaround the Cape. Being an avid hiker, trailrunner and surfer also contributed to mynature addiction,” he says.“The anti-poaching bug really started

kicking in about two years ago when I no-ticed links between the poaching problemand solutions thatmydoctoral researchandprevious studies could provide.”Heyns joined the Volunteer Wildfire Ser-

vices last year as a fire fighter and realizedhe loved working in nature and decided tomake a bigger contribution. He also plans

to join Doctors Without Borders as a field-worker later this year.“My main aim is that my research will

contribute tomore efficientmonitoring anddetection capabilities of wildlife parksaround South Africa and Africa. Being aranger on the ground will be an extra moti-vating factor for me in my research, be-cause any advances made in surveillancenetwork design will help me and other ran-gers respond to possible poaching activity

more quickly,” he says.Heyns hopes to work on opti-

mal surveillance systems,which provide early poacher de-tection. These contribute to fast-er ranger response times.“If poachers can be detected –

visually, acoustically, by someother form of triggering or acombination of these – anti-poaching units can intervenemore quickly and the extra timethey have thanks to an effectivedetection system could be thedifference between a dead rhinoand a live one,” he says.

Surveillance technology isn’t limited topoaching, and can be used as early warningsmoke or fire detection networks or borderdefence.However, after funding his PhD studies,

the expensive anti-poaching ranger coursehas spurred the need for Heyns to crowd-fund.Attending the course will also be a bridge

From ‘silly start’ to jazz festivalGARY VAN DYK

@gvdcapejazz

Sometimes the journey to becoming amas-ter at your craft has the silliest of starts

– for trumpeter Darren English it was achance purchase of a harmonica that led tohimgracing the stages ofmajor jazz festivalsand gigs across the world.Jazz lovers in South Africa need little in-

troduction to the young maestro fromStrandfontein who attended MuizenbergHigh School.He is back homehaving played at theCape

Town International Jazz Festival but sinceleaving our shores to study inAtlanta his ca-reer has been booming andhe’s just releasedhis debutCD to some fantastic reviews in theUSA.It all started in 2012 when the 22-year-old,

at the time, was awarded the FMR and Sam-

ro Overseas Scholarships and left to pursuehis Masters degree at Georgia State Universi-ty (GSU).“I first started touring with a few bands

over weekends whilst still at GSU, whicheventually led to week long tours, which be-came month long tours and even longer.”Since then as one of the “hip” young musi-

cians on the scene he has performed withsome of the big names on the jazz scene. Theseinclude Grammy award winning vocalist,Carmen Bradford (from the Count Basie Or-chestra, who is also featured on his album),trumpeters Russell Gunn, Joe Gransden, anddrummerJimmyCobbwhoplayedwithMilesDavis for many years.Releasing his album, Imagine Nation, has

been a special time. One of the compositionsthat has been standing out in all the reviewsis Darren’s suite dedication to Nelson Man-dela.

“I’m excited with the album just bymerefact of having some of my musical heroeswho have become close friends featured onit, including Carmen Bradford, Greg Tar-dy, Russell Gunn, Joe Gransden, KennyBanks Jr., Billy Thornton, and Chris Bur-roughs – we even have a recorded inter-view of NelsonMandela played over a com-position of mine entitled Pledge for Peace.”Looking back at the “silly” start he re-

calls that his mentor Fred Kuit, who is incharge of the music programme that hasproduced so many maestros in recentyears, was actually his English teacher.“In one class we had to have a prepared

oral but me, being me back then, thoughtIwould justmake something up. By chancethe weekend before we were in a mall andfor fun bought a harmonica.I then spentthat entire weekend blowing in-and-out onthis harmonica and I remembered that theweek before I heard the school band per-form Oh When The Saints Go Marching Infor assembly. Somehow I worked out howto play it so guess what happenedwhenmyname was called for oral.“I walk up, with nothing at all, but I

pulled my harmonica out of my blazer andI said: ‘Mr Kuit, I don’t have a preparedoral, but I can play the harmonica’. Ofcourse the entire classbreaksout laughing,and I feared going to the principal’s officebut Kuit was caught of guard and laughedwith, and said “go ahead, let’s hear it”.“It did not start well but eventually I got

into the tune and everyone started cheer-ing me on. For the first time, with mymushroom ‘Beatles’ haircut and all, I feltlike a rock star.”Darrenwon’t reveal the grade that he got

but added that Kuit then invited him to themusic room the next day.“I didn’t go for a while, until between

classes one day and I saw him sitting out-

side the music room playing a trumpet, andhe called me, asking me if I’d like to try it.“I remember asking himafter I tried blow-

ing through it, “where do you switch it on?”,he laughed and explained.“That was the turning point and before I

knew it, I was playing the cornet everydayafter school, and quit all my extra-muralsport activities and just devoted my time toplaying the horn.V On Friday 8 April Darren will be joining his frienddrummer Claude Cozens for a concert at the SlaveChurch, 40 Long Street. They will be joined by guitaristKeenan Ahrends and Sibusiso Matsimela on bass. Formore information https://www.facebook.com/events/501015146768734/.

With 15 000 participants last year, the orga-nisers of the Cape Town Cannabis Walkhope to grow the event to 45 000 this year.Organiser Jo Hout says the walk, now in

its 14th year, has been growing exponen-tially. Starting with only a handful of peo-ple in 2002 as “the only thing society coulddo to show support for cannabis legalisa-tion”, the walk saw 5000 participants in2014, Hout says.The increase in participation is due to a

growing awareness among the general pub-lic of the medicinal use of cannabis, Houtexplains.“More studies and research are being

carried out on the medicinal benefits ofcannabis and the USA has changed theirclassification of the drug. People are slowlybeing given the right kind of information.”The Cannabis Walk provides a platform

for people to discuss the legalisation of can-nabis, Hout believes.“These topics are very under-debated be-

cause people are scared of being ostracised.The walk shows there’s a large communitythat supports legalisation and goes tobreaking the stigma,” he says. “It’s a toolto start a conversation and slowly educatepeople.”V The Cannabis Walk takes place on Saturday 7 Mayat 10:00, starting at the corner of Tennant and Keiz-ersgracht streets. For more information, like the CapeTown Cannabis Walk page on Facebook.

The 6thannualPenguinPromisesWaddlefor a Week will see a group of waddlers

set off from Gansbaai and walk their wayto Simon’s Town over a period of six days,starting on Monday 11 April.Along theway theywill raisemuch-need-

ed awareness about the plight of the endan-gered African penguin, as well as the envi-ronment, and collect promises as part of thePenguin Promises campaign.This initiative encourages people to

make behavioural changes.The 16 waddlers, tackling the 120km

walk, are animal keepers from around thecountry aswell as other animal penguin en-thusiasts and environmental supporters.This year the first international partici-pant, Leitza Gorman fromDevon Zoo in theUK, joins the group.The African penguin is the only penguin

species foundon theAfrican continent. Thespecies is endemic to the southern Africancoastline and occurs from Namibia to Al-goa Bay. These birds face extinction in thewild as their numbers continue to declinedramatically. Reduced food availabilitydue to overfishing, climate change andhab-itat destruction are just some of the factorstaking their toll on bird numbers.How can SouthAfricans help the African

penguin, the environment and the wad-dlers? By simply promising to make achange in their daily lives. These promisesare funnelled through the Penguin Promis-es campaign and can be submitted to [email protected] the final day of the Waddle, Saturday

16 April, the group will depart from Muiz-enberg and will walk to Simon’s Town. Onthis 15km leg, they would love to see asmany Capetonians and visitors as possiblejoin them. Dress in black and white andshow your love and support of the Africanpenguin – LeaveMuizenberg (Surfer’s Cor-ner) at 09:00 and reach Simon’s Town at ap-proximately 13:00.V Visit www.penguinpromises.com or email HayleyMcLellan on [email protected]

IN THE GARDEN

Stay waterwise in winterEven with winter approaching, you still need to be waterwise in your garden.Water is ourmost precious resource, soweneed to explore

adapting our gardens by planting more water wise plants.Besides requiring less water, indigenous plants also re-

duce air pollution and promote biodiversity and steward-ship of our natural heritage. However, there seems to be amisconception that indigenous plants lack colour which iswhy there has been a bit of resistance to planning and plant-ing indigenous gardens.Nothing could be farther from the truth. Plants such as

Gazania, Bauhinia galpinii and Cape honeysuckle (Tecoma-capensis) provide a blaze of orange which can be contrastedwith the gentle blues of agapanthus, plumbago and felicia,while pink indigofera and anisodonte and the violet flowersof tinnia barbata can provide a pretty background to amixed border. The possibilities and combinations are end-less.One spectacular but hardy plant that can withstand peri-

ods of drought is agapanthus. The thick, fleshy roots storewater and food and they thrive and flower copiously if plant-ed in full sun with well drained soil and plenty of compost.When flowering they add lovely colour to a garden frombluepurple to white and sometimes even pink. They make at-tractive container plants, even when not in flower, and areexcellent cut flowers.Beetroot is another veggie that is easy to grow. It does best

in partial or full sun. Beets might have the highest sugarcontent of all vegetables, but they are also rich in nutrientsand most people can safely eat beetroot a few times a week.Drinking beetroot juice lowers blood pressure, boosts yourstaminaand fights inflammation.Beets are also rich in fibreand help with detox.Make use of the last of the summer sunshine to plant vegg-

ies for hearty winter soups. Why not try radish, leeks, beet-root, turnips and onions?Remember to plant early in the morning or late in the aft-

ernoon as the midday sun will make it far more difficultfor new plants to cope.V This column was contributed by Stodels. Read more water-wise garden-ing tips in People’s Post the first week of every month or visit www.sto-dels.com.

LETTERS

Nomercy for thosewho rape, murderI have a radical inexpensiverape solution to the currentrape epidemic in South Africa.I believe once a person has

been convicted of rape ormurder the following shouldhappen:Rapists:. They must be castrated.

This will prevent them fromattacking another person in thefuture.

. They must be tattooed withan identifying “R” in themiddle of their forehead.This will ensure that the

public know that they haveoffended before. They will bescarred for life, just like theirvictims.Currently there is no way of

identifying offenders. The “R”will be their badge.They will be ousted by the

community and will be shamedall of their lives and so willtheir families – a major deter-rent for any sane person.They will be easily identifia-

ble to potential employers,landlords, and communities thatthey want to be involved with.Being easily identified willassist the public make decisionsabout these people.They will be picked on and

generally treated badly. Thiswill be a major deterrent forother offenders.They do not go to jail. They

must live their lives as out-casts. This will be a hardersentence plus will help reducenumbers in the overflowing jailsystem.

. They must be able tosurvive but will struggle to getinto normal employment,therefore they could work inwork groups developed forrapist to work together doinggood work for the communities– e.g. beach cleaning teams,rhino protection etc.They get paid from the jail

system by the money that theywould have needed to housethem in jail.Murderers:. Bring back the death

sentence for all murders. The victims’ families can

choose how the criminal willdie if they want too.

. The victims’ families canparticipate in the execution ofthese murderers

. Less people in jail

. A major deterrent to otheroffenders

After annexing their 17th senior nation-al baseball championship (NBC) lastweek, all of theWestern Province (WP)

youth teams proceeded to win gold in theirdivisions over the last week.Western Province have nowmade it back-

to-back clean sweeps of the South AfricanBaseball Union’s (SABU) senior and youthNBCs after alsowinning gold in all divisionsin Boksburg last year.The seniorWPA side conquered all before

them as they registered no fewer than fiveshut outs whilst drawing one game to Gaut-eng u.23, which was rained out. WP A beatWP u.23 10-0 in the semi-finals and facedGauteng A in the final after Gauteng A beatWP B 9-2 in their semi-final.The final was played in horrendously

windy and rainy weather, which did not al-low for good baseball. The weather favouredGautengAas it stifled theWPApowerhousebatting line-up. Both teams were taken offthe field twice due to persistent rain. On thesecond occasion, at the top of the ninth in-nings, umpires called the game off with WPA leading 7-0. As the innings was incom-plete, the official score stood at 5-0, as it wasat the bottom if the eighth innings.The pitching duo of Jared Elario and Carl

Michaels stood out, with Brett Willemburgand Darren Wedel shining with the bat.WP u.18 A beat Gauteng A 10-0 in the final

of the junior championship. Jarrod Willi-ams pitched a sublime game and was wellsupported by his fielders who turned a beau-tiful double play in the sixth inning. Willi-ams pitched six innings, conceding five hits,twowalks and fanned two hitters. Hewas re-placed by Brandon Smith who recorded thelast three outs.Brandon Gehlig (2 for 2), Haydon Matter

(2 for 3) and Kyle Ripepi (2 for 4) were thestandout hitters for WP u.18 A.Gauteng A beat Gauteng B 6-3 and WP A

beatWPB 9-2 in their respective semi-finals.In a tightly contested final for u.15s, WP

A beat Gauteng A 5-1. Both teams utilisedthreepitchers eachbut itwasWPAthat tookadvantage of the errors and walks given upby Gauteng A. Just when Gauteng A werethreatening, WP A turned a double play tokeep them scoreless in that innings.WP A beat Gauteng B and Gauteng A beat

WP B in the semi-finals.After losing to Gauteng A 11-10 in the

round robin, WP A beat them 5-3 in an excit-ing u.12 final. The young boys of the tourna-ment had everyone on the edge of their seatsin an awesome display of skills at this youngage.
