The Scarborough Ratepayers’ Association and Keepers Neighbourhood Watch have re- quested increased security measures at pub- lic areas following a recent robbery and shooting of a visitor to the Scarborough Beach. The perpetrators allegedly escaped into the Schusterskraal area. Simon’s Town police station commander, Captain Jacqui Johnson, says the shooting earlier in the month occurred after two beachgoers were approached by a man who requested something to eat. “They responded that they didn’t have anything and he walked away,” Johnson says. “While walking away he kept looking back at them.He reappeared and pulled out a fire- arm which he pointed at them and told them to give him all their belongings. They took their food to give to him when he fired a shot at them.” The victim was shot in the left leg and the suspect ran away. Worsening safety A case of attempted murder has been opened and a suspect has been arrested. At a presentation to a recent subcouncil meeting, Scarborough Ratepayer’s Associa- tion chairperson, Marti Weddepohl, said dis- cussions have been entered into with City of Cape Town and SANParks officials to cor- rect the “ever worsening safety” of the pub- lic open spaces in and around Scarborough. The discussions have led the organisation to question who has jurisdiction over the Schusterskraal area and to request an ac- cess control system be put in place. “This is both to manage the entry of alco- hol and other prohibited substances and firearms into the area, as well as to raise money to maintain and develop the area more effectively,” Weddepohl said at the meeting. Request for signage The organisation also requested electrici- ty be provided at the beach toilet area, to al- low lighting and cameras to be installed. Signage, listing the rules of the public ar- ea, is also needed at each site, the association believes. The City referred People’s Post to SAN- Parks for comment on all these issues. Justin Buchman, a senior section ranger for Table Mountain National Park south sec- tion, says the police, City and SANParks have a joint mandate to act against illegal behaviour in the Schusterskraal Area. “The Schusterskraal picnic site, which falls within the Red Hill section of Table Mountain National Park, is being patrolled on a daily basis by rangers who always maintain visibility.” No further incidents The area is an open access section of the park, he adds. “Signage is in place at the entrance to the picnic site, however, we will check that it has not been vandalised.” Johnson says no similar incidents have occurred at the beach, but measures will be put in place to increase safety at the beach. “High visibility patrols have been put in place in that specific area. During these pa- trols a drug arrest was made. No further in- cidents have been reported,” she says.

NICOLE MCCAIN@nickymccain

As runners and walkers traverse theroute of this year’s Slave Route Chal-

lenge, many will trace the footsteps oftheir ancestors and former slaves.

This year’s Slave Route Challenge, ofwhich People’s Post is a media sponsor,will see participants giving honour to in-dividual slaves of the Cape’s past.

Each runner will carry one of the 8000names of slaves who appear on a “col-umn of memory” at the Iziko Slave Lodgein the city centre (“Slave names give run-ners wings”, People’s Post, 15 March)during the race on Sunday 8 May.

The race route takes runners past sev-eral historically significant landmarks,such as the Castle of Good Hope, GrandParade, the Whipping Post, Old SlaveChurch, the Slave Tree Plaque and the Iz-iko Slave Lodge.

Life as a slaveMooi Angela from Bengal, also known

as Ansla van Bengalen, was brought tothe Cape before the large-sale importa-tion of slaves and before the Slave Lodgewas even built.

She was brought to the Cape by a DutchEast Indian official, Pieter Kemp, whobought her when stationed in the Batavi-an Republic.

Returning from the Netherlands hebrought Angela with him and sold her inCape Town to Jan van Riebeeck in 1655.He in turn sold her to Abraham Gabbe-ma, the Second-in-Command at the Cape,recounts Angela’s descendent, LucyCentlivres.

“A very special day in Angela’s lifewas 13 April 1666 when she was grantedher independence,” Centlivres says.

Angela petitioned the Governor togrant her a piece of land where she start-ed growing fruit and vegetables whichshe sold to passing ships.

She was granted a plot in what is nowCastle Street, and would have traversedmany of the streets along which the SlaveRoute Challenge passes.

She became a successful farmer andhelped her sons on their farms in theDrakenstein area.

“By the time she died she was very welloff and her daughter, Anna de Koning,married to Olof Bergh, was the richestwoman at the Cape. We could call her thefirst women entrepreneur at the Cape,”says Centlivres.

Remembering ancestorsAlthough uncertain who Angela mar-

ried first, in 1669 she married ArnoldusWillemsz Basson, the founding father ofall the Bassons in South Africa and Cent-livres’ forefather.

The Slave Route Challenge is a time forCentlivres to look back on her history,remembering and honouring so many ofthe slaves who built the Cape colony.

“I am proud to trace my heritage backto beautiful, courageous Angela, whodidn’t allow horrendous circumstancesto get her down,” she says.

Although Centlivres is not able to runthe route herself, it warms her to thinkthat her ancestors have not been forgot-ten.

“If someone would run the Slave Routein honour of Angela, I would be thrilled.My ancestors’ histories have enrichedmy life and given me a better under-standing of the history of my country andthe many colourful personalities in it.”V For more information, visit www.iamrunning­for.co.za.

Devices takeheat off shacksNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Around 1700 heat detectors havebeen rolled out in Masiphume-

lele homes to help reduce the riskof shack fires.The devices, installed by social

enterprise firm Lumkani, are de-signed specifically with shackdwellers in mind and detect an in-crease in heat instead of smoke.Lumkani’s vision is to mitigate

the loss of life and property causedby dangerous fires occurring in in-formal settlements, financial di-rectorDavidGluckmanpreviouslytold People’s Post (“New device todetect fires, 10 March 2015)The heat detection technology

has been proven to be most effec-tive at sensing fires in alreadysmoky environments, Gluckmanexplains. The in-shack heat detect-or will ring when a fire is detected,enabling the family in the home torespond proactively and possiblyextinguish the fire. If this is not thecase, thedevicewill then trigger alldevices within a 100m range of it-self, using transmission technolo-gy, to create a community-widealert.“This will serve to proactively

alert people of the danger to eitherassist in containing the fire, or sav-ing family members and belong-ings,” he says.

Theproductwasbornafter adev-astating fire in Khayelitsha onNew Year’s Day in 2013. The blaze,which displaced thousands of peo-ple, was a catalyst for research anddevelopment,Gluckmansays.Thistragic event brought together amultidisciplinary team that wouldbring theory into reality to helpmitigate the loss of life and proper-ty associated with the rampantspread of shack fires.The device costs R120 and the

battery will last between one andtwo years.“We know that Masi is one of the

most high fire risk communities inthe country and so we have divert-ed resources to this community,”Gluckman says.The project was funded using a

crowd-funding platform called In-diegogo. “Thousands of peoplearound the world contributed tomaking this a reality.”Gluckman hopes to grow the

project, is calling on the City ofCape Town and residents of sur-rounding communities to assistLumkani in installing a detector inevery home in Masiphumelele.“We have only scraped the sur-

facewithour investment of 1700 de-vices. The community has alreadybeen involved by accepting us intotheir community and openingtheir homes to our installationteam,” he says.

Publisher makes global imprintYears of creative vision have paidoff for a local independent pub-lisher.Noordhoek’s Robin Stuart-

Clark recently brought home theBest Children’s Book PublisherAfrica prize at the prestigious Bo-logna Children’s Book Fair in Ita-ly.This is the second year that

Bumble Books (the children’s im-print of Publishing PrintMatters)had been nominated.Winning this award is a huge

accolade for the years of creativevision that Stuart-Clark has putinto this imprint and his goal ofpublishing books that can becomea legacy. Bumble Books providesa platform for new South Africanillustrators and authors to show-case their work internationally,with an emphasis on fun and en-tertainment. The range offers ex-quisitely illustrated stories thatleapoff thepage, capturing the im-agination of both children andadults.Stuart-Clark says: “This inter-

national award not only recognis-es Bumble Books but more impor-tantly also acknowledges thedepth of both the illustrative andliterary talent we have in SouthAfrica. We are world class and weneed to think beyond our borders.Our stories can travel, but we’renot using this talent.”The Bologna Best Children’s

Publisher of the Year Prize ac-knowledges the most significantpublishers in each of the six areasof the world: Africa, Central andSouth America, North America,

OCEAN VIEW

Care Centrecelebrates 1 yearNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Over 1000 Ocean View residents have re-ceived assistance in the Ocean View

Care Centre’s first year of operation.The centre celebrated its first anniversa-

ry on Thursday 21 April.In addition toproviding social support for

individuals and families, the Care Centrehas also enrolled 135 children in theirschool, New Life Kids Centre.

The Care Centre is dedicated to ensuringthat everyone who comes through the gategets proper assistance, says founder Jo-hann Kikillus.

“It does not matter who they are or whatthey have done. Most of our work is aboutholding various departments accountableto do their job properly. I would saywehavebeen able to assist the majority of peoplethat come our way. Unfortunately there arestill some cases where we are strugglingwith several departments, but we are ad-dressing those problems at provincial lev-el,” he says.

The majority of the issues the centre staffsee revolve around social development, po-licing and community safety, education,health, justice and housing.

“It normally is in connection with com-plaints, misunderstanding or ignorancearound how these departments work. Mostof the cases we get involve drugs in one wayor another. Added to this is abuse, whichgoes hand in hand with addiction. We dealwith addicts and their families as well asvictims and perpetrators,” Kikillus ex-plains.

Despite running for a year, the centre still

faces a number of challenges. It has been op-erating without electricity, water or toilets,with the entire school using the one toiletat the neighbouring Civic Centre and fetch-ing buckets of water every day. An electri-cian was on site recently, and Kikillushopes the centre will be connected soon.

“The other challenge is the constant theftand vandalism. Windows are smashed ev-ery week almost,” he says.

Dealing with departments “who are notdoing their job properly and denying peopletheir rights” also proves challenging, Kiki-llus says.

“I see a huge amount of injustice. ShouldI ever become president, there will be a ma-jor shakeup. It frustrates me that the FarSouth still struggles with inadequate servi-ces, laziness and sometimes corruption.”

However, there are moments that makeit all worth it. “The success of the school in-cluding the work with the kids’ families isalways a highlight. We have the privilegeof working with truly amazing people. It isalsowonderful to seehowmanypeoplehaveshown an interest in assisting us. All of thefunctions we have had have been incredi-ble. I suppose the biggest highlights arewhen clients return to tell us that their situ-ation has changed for the better,” he says.

In order to continue growing, the CareCentre needs more volunteers and helpers,Kikillus says. “Currently all of us are volun-teers and the issues out there are gettingbigger and worse. I want to see far more fo-cus being put on children and youth. Weneed to do much more to assist with drugaddicts and their families. The issue of vio-lence is traumatising Ocean View and Iwant to see this addressed.”

False Bay TVETCollege has host-ed its inaugural intercampus

sports tournament to celebrate thecompletion of the Fish Hoek cam-pus sports field upgrade fromfunds received from the NationalLotteries Commission.A full day of activities, the event

kicked off with a special ribboncutting ceremony, where specialthanks was credited to the Nation-al Lotteries Commission for its val-uable investment.Karin Hendricks, the deputy

principal for education and train-ing at False Bay TVET College,says: “We are a tertiary education

institution, butwe are exceptional-ly passionate about the overallwell-being of all students.”It is for this reason that the col-

lege approached the National Lot-teriesCommission tohelp increasethe accessibility and promote asports culture within the collegecommunity. “Sports participationis a wonderful facilitator to bolsteremotional, mental and physical re-silience to overall development.Webelieve that through sports, ourgraduates will emerge well round-ed and sociallymature,more apt tohandle the next chapter of theirlives,” she says.

Formalities aside, teams fromeach of the five False Bay TVETCollege campuses were elected torepresent their peers on the soccerand netball fields.The overhaul to the traditional

sports fields, converting them intotwo multi-purpose AstroTurffields, required they be fully en-closed by a five metre high nylonnetting for all big ball sports. Theinvestment of R1 960 800 is a fur-ther legacy contributor of the Na-tional Lottery Distribution TrustFund, which has already distribut-ed almost R4bn into the develop-ment of sports and recreation.

Rasta families get loos, tapsNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Forty-two families in Rasta Campin Ocean View have received

flush toilets.The City of Cape Town provided

portable flush toilets (PFTs) to fam-

ilies who have accepted the offer ofthem, as well as a standpipe withthree taps, says Mayoral commit-tee member for utility services,Ernest Sonnenberg. “Apart fromimproving sanitation,wehope thatthis could be a catalyst for furtherPFT uptake in the community. The

installation of a standpipe meansthat residents no longer travel longdistances to get water.”

The community’s occupation ofthe land is unlawful in terms of theNational Environmental Manage-ment Protected Areas Act, Sonnen-berg says.

“Relocation of the communitywould be the preferred option, butthis will involve a lengthy legalprocess and depends on land beingmade available,” Sonnenberg ex-plains.

The community has until nownot received services due to this“unlawful occupation” of the land.

As it belongs to SANParks, theCity of Cape Town does not havejurisdiction to install serviceswithout consent, explains Sub-

council chairperson Felicity Pur-chase.

A court ruling has found that thecommunity can be evicted if thelandowner finds them an alterna-tive site,which theCity is assistingwith, Purchase says.

Besides providing more PFTs tofamilies who request them, thereare no plans to install additionalservices in the settlement becauseof the community’s “unlawful oc-cupation”, Sonnenberg says.

EDUCATION

Many ways to learnThroughout your child’s school career, theyhave been tasked with growing amounts ofhomework, assignments and tests. Howev-er, as they proceed from grade to grade, thework pressure increases, potentially leav-ing your child feeling flustered.

Creating a schedule, together with yourchild, will help your child prioritise theirtime and create a sense of control. But whathappens when it’s time to buckle down tostudy, and the information doesn’t stick?

Conventional parrot-style studying mayleave your child feeling anxious or despond-ent. Each child is unique in their abilities,and study techniques don’t generally formpart of the school curriculum. This is a greatway for parents to offer assistance, and gothrough aprocess of elimination to establishthe most successful method.

A study has been completed to categorisefour learning styles or preferences whichcould help your child absorb and interpretinformation. This is called theVARKmodal-ities, which has been split to have a specificfocus on visual, aural, read andwrite or kin-aesthetic stimulation.

VisualVisually predominant study techniques

require the study areas be void of any visualdistractions. The only visually appealingmaterial should be study notes. Informationis best consumed through pictures, dia-grams and graphs. Utilise brightly colourstationery to accentuate key information.The use of online videos and flash cards aregreat tools too.

AuralA study space should be clear of auditory

distractions. These learners consume infor-mation best though spoken word format.Study groups work great if you are able to

find students with similar learning trends.Recorded discussions and lectures can be re-peated ina conducive environment andyourchild will create recitations and jingles ofkey information.

Read and WriteThis is probably themost traditional of all

study modes. From the classroom to home,your childwill constantly need to takenotes,re-read notes and hand outs along with ac-cessing additional information through var-ious mediums. The regurgitation of the in-formation will be interpreted and noted ina manner which is easier to consume.

KinaestheticThroughout your child’s life, they are

taught to sit still, be quiet, and face the front.However, young active minds are housed inyoung active bodies, which thrive on physi-cal activity. If your child chooses to lay onthe floor flicking their legs, or pace whenstudying let thembe.Themovement pacifiesthe body’s instinct to be active, freeing themind to absorb. This category of student isusually only able to study in short blocks oftime, with an accompanying distraction ofsqueezing a stress ball or listening to music.It’s not a study method encouraged, but ithas proven to be a successful method forsome children. A kinaesthetic learner likesto make use of examples and associationsrather thanplain facts and is further compli-mented through Aural study techniqueswith other scholars.

Visit http:/vark-learn.com to help you de-cipher a study mode and tools to best suityour child.V This column was contributed by False Bay TVET Col­lege. Look out for more study success strategies in Peo­ple’s Post in the last week of every month or go towww.falsebaycollege.co.za to find out more.

Investigatenumber ofpolice deathsThus far, more than 80 police officershave been killed this year.

This should elicit at least a commis-sion of enquiry by national government.The number of killings equates tonearly 20 per month or two per day.

The slaying of Detective LindekileSikade from Philippi East, Metro Policeofficer Simon Sigasa from Johannesburgand others, is strongly condemned, butwhat recourse do we have after thecondemnation of the dastardly murders?

If the perpetrators are targeting lawenforcement officers solely for theirfirearms in order to commit furtheracts of crime, wherein lies the solutionto end the heinous killings?

Unless this stark reality is addressedswiftly, less young men and women willenter the policing services, albeit itpolice or the municipal Metro Policeservices.

Statistics indicate that there is a hugeshortfall of police officers in the West-ern Cape.

I implore national police commission-er to initiate a national commission ofenquiry in respect of the atrocity tostop the killings, and rid civil society ofthe cowardly perpetrators and illegalunlicensed firearms.

MARK KLEINSCHMIDTKenwyn

Stand against killingsLast week we have once again beenshaken, shocked and rattled by thebrutal killing of one of our own, Detect-ive Constable Sekadi from the GrassyPark police service centre.

He was a valuable asset to our commu-nity, has been ruthless in bringinglaw-breakers before the court andexposing the dark side of the gangunderworld.

As a community we want to expressour condolences, and unequivocally statethat we do not condone the brutalslaying of our police officers, or anymember of society. As a community wevalue our police officers, in whatevercapacity they may serve us.

Once again it is a call to our leaders,those in authority – decision makers,politicians and government – to listenand respond to the cry of our people.Once again we see a system dismallyfailing us, where those who must upholdand protect society, fall victim to thevery system they must uphold.

Our justice system fails us time andtime again. Our police service is under-staffed, underresourced and its membersare under paid. Correctional servicesdelivers and feeds into our communitiesthe products of a failing prison system

(with exception to those who reshapedtheir lives), and when we add all up, theoutcome is that the innocent, the uprightand the community heroes are carriedaway in wooden boxes to their lastresting place.

Absent at the time of distress, tears,heartache and bereavement, are thepoliticians, the ministers and govern-ment.

As a community we have the power toinfluence decisions, budgets, systems,policies and ways of thinking. We mustget involved in community projects,programmes and initiatives. We mustbecome more vocal and speak outagainst unjust and ungodly systems,participate in forums, structures and allother platforms, and above all, hold ourleaders, MECs, councillors and serviceproviders accountable.

Let the death of our fallen heroes,children, elderly and youth not be invain. Let the spilled blood of the inno-cent speak to the righteous, cry out tothe heart of our community and let ourresponse be: “yes we will take up thecourse, yes we will unite against allforces of darkness and overcome”!

PASTOR PAUL PHILLIPParkwood

Who is behind the shootings?Regarding gangs on the Cape Flats:

I am always very saddened when Ihear of the innocent people being killedfor no reason by these sub-humans, andother innocents maimed for life. Thesegangsters have no understanding of thepain and suffering they deliberatelycause through their madness.

But my biggest concern is: Who issupplying them the ammunition?

We know that many firearms arestolen and many are even supplied byother sub-humans but where does theammunition come from?

Why do we not hear of that?Surely if the suppliers of ammunition

can be identified, prosecuted and sen-tenced to lengthy jail terms then perhapsthere should be a drop in the killings.When these sub-humans are arrestedwith the guns surely the police shouldbe able to extract that information of thesuppliers of the ammunition.

I ask: Can it be that some policemenare supplying them so we do not hearabout that?

BEN BURGER

For Tristan Brooks karate is a lifestylerather than a sport. Not surprisingly,the Grade 11 learner from Rondebosch

Boys’ High School is the number one fighterin his age group in the country.Tristan has been named the People’s Post

Let’s Play Sport Star of theMonth forMarchand April.He was nominated by his dad, Neil, who

says that Tristan is currently ranked num-ber one inSouthAfrica (u.17) both inKumite(fighting) and Kata (the sequence of moves),the two disciplines of Kimura Shukokai Ka-rate.“He travelled to New York in 2012 repre-

senting South Africa in the KSI World Tour-nament and again in 2014, this time in SunCity. In July he will be travelling to Berlin,Germany for the KSI 2016 World Tourna-ment. In September last year Tristan com-peted against the best in Europe at the KSIEuropean Open Championships in Luzerne,Switzerland narrowly losing in the final,”says Neil.According to Tristan he loves karate be-

cause of the intense training. “Personally Ilove the physical side of the intense trainingschedules and competitions, but a high levelof mental discipline is required to carry outthis lifestyle. My Sensei calls us all crazy forwhatwe do and it is the sense of brotherhoodthat keeps me motivated. The bonds madewith other fighters worldwide is what I loveabout what this life has to offer.”He trains four times a week and loves be-

ing in the gym. “As well as my karate train-ing, which is a 90 minute class four days aweek, I try to include a boxing fitness classonce a week and I can always be found inthe gym during my spare time on the week-end. But I like to think that a fighter is al-ways training and bettering himself in ev-erything he does in every aspect of life. Ihave taken a recent liking to calisthenicswhich is pure bodyweight training requir-ing inhuman strength to push your body tonew levels.”Tristan says that he also loves the out-

doors. “I am a keen fisherman, with a pas-sion for the great outdoors and hope to oneday lead a life as close to nature as I can.There is hardly any formof training that canbeat a hike up the mountain with friends orfamily.”Forhim,karate is awayof life, rather than

a sport. “I guess that I have been involvedwith karate for most of my life, since agefive, and in all the years of training that hasdeveloped my passion for this martial art. I

play rugby at school when I’m not preparingfor a karate competition, and also enjoy ath-letics, but we do not consider martial artsto be a sport, it is a way of life. All other vari-ous forms of exercise are all geared towardsmy life in karate.“Since a young age my order of priorities

has been my Christian faith followed by myfamily, second to those are school and thentraining. When you have your priorities setbefore you, everything else falls into place.I strongly feel that once you have startedtraining in this form of martial arts, it is im-possible to stop. It is a lifetime journey ofconstantly pushing your body and mind toits limits and constantly striving for great-ness in everything you do.”Tristan says he looks up to his karate hero

Shihan (master instructor) Chris Thompsonwho holds an 8th Dan and is a World ChiefInstructor. “The control that he has over hisbody is unbelievable to witness and he alsois a perfect gentleman towards all. The timeand dedication he has shown towards Kimu-ra Shukokai Karate is unbelievable and Ihope to one day be half the man he is.”Tristan says that his participation in the

USA in 2012 was his first international tour-nament and it was a real eye-opener for him.“It made me realise what a journey I hadahead of myself if I wanted to be the best Icould. Seeinghowhardother countrieswerepushing, made me want to train even hard-er. Another highlight was the friends I havemade at these events. Meeting new peoplefromall over the globe is a truly phenomenalopportunity that karate has given me.”He says that if it was not for the support

ofhis parents, hewouldnothavemade it thisfar. “Without the support of my parents, es-pecially at a younger age, I don’t think thatI would still be doing karate today. Withouttheir support and without them constantlypushing me I would have never reached thelevel I am at today.”Tristan might even be regarded as Cape

Town’s own Karate Kid. He was part of ademo team for the launch of the remake ofthe original 1984moviewhenTheKarateKidwas launched in 2010 at Cavendish.V You can nominate any pupil between the ages of13 and 18 as the sport star of the month by sendingemail to [email protected].
