Rising to new heightsNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

A R15m project to upgrade worn anddamaged roads in Atlantic Heightsroads is underway.

Expected to be completed by the end of theyear, the upgrade involves the reconstruc-tion of existing Atlantic Heights roads thathavedeterioratedover time, explainsMaycomember for transport, Brett Herron.“The reconstruction includes the installa-

tion of new sub-soil drainage and stormwa-

ter infrastructure, as well as the construc-tion of walkways where there is space avail-able and where the conditions allow for it,”he says.The deterioration follows on damage to

the underlying layers of the road, Herronsays. “The underlying clay layers undersome roads were affected by extreme wetconditions, including heavy rains in previ-ous winter seasons, and excess greywater,”he says.This caused the accelerated deterioration

of the roadswhichwas exacerbated even fur-

ther due to traffic, Herron explains.“The purpose of the project is to prolong

the longevity of the reconstructed roads,which in termsofmaintenance costs is to thebenefit of the local residents as well as of theCity of Cape Town.”The project will see 17 roads upgraded,

with around half of those already completedin the few months since the project started,says Herron. “It is foreseen that the projectwill be completed by the end of the year,weather permitting and pending unforeseenchallenges.”

However, not only motorists stand to ben-efit from the improved road surfaces, Her-ron believes.“Once completed, road users in Atlantic

Heights will benefit from the reconstructedroads in terms of road safety, general accessand convenience,” he says.“It is important to note that pedestrians

make up a high percentage of road usersacross the city and that the walkways willmake a significant difference in improvingtheir safety while walking to and from theirdestinations.”

NOORDHOEK

Dog bucks thetrend on siteWhen visitors to the Clock Tower and Si-

lo Districts report sightings of a fluffyblack dog wearing a luminous yellow con-struction vest, V&A Waterfront staff smileand quickly reassure them that Buc is sim-ply amember of the Silo District’s construc-tion team.Every day, Buckaroo the Belgium shep-

herd – known to his familiars as Buc – ac-companies owner Paul Edgecome from No-ordhoek to the Waterfront, where he workson site as a surveyor. But while contractorsregard Buc as simply amember of the team,he is greeted with incredulous stares by thepublic, who all want to pat him.And Buc is happy to oblige.Buc’s primary job on site is to guard

Paul’s equipment and sense of humour, ajob he doeswell except when droëwors is onoffer. Then, according to Paul, “his brainshuts down”.Paul’s previous dog, Lupie, used to ac-

companyhim towork everyday aswell. Butfour years ago, when he became too old todo so, Paul paid a visit to the SPCA wherehe encountered Buc. Paul says: “Buc prettymuch chose me. He immediately ran up tome and the decision was made.”Paul andBuchave been involvedwith the

Silo District construction project since thetail end of the now completed No. 1 and No.2 Silo buildings. They are currently in-volved with the construction of the remain-ing No. 3 Silo through to No. 6 Silo, and theconversion of the historic Grain Silo intothe Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Af-rica.Initially, Bucwas unsure of the labourers

in their heavy boots, overalls andhardhats,andbarkedwheneverhe encountered them.Paul asked the labourers to say “hello” toBuc whenever they encountered him, andtheir friendly tone soon convinced Buc thattheywere friends. Todayhehappily runsup

to greet them.During the demolition phases at the Zeitz

MOCAA construction site, Buc needed towear special earmuffs, which he did reluc-tantly. These had to be attached to his con-struction bib as he sometimes rebelled andremoved them with his paw.If Buc becomes uncomfortable with the

noise level, he opts for “administrationwork” instead, trotting off to the construc-tion office around the corner. If the door isclosed but unlocked, hewill open it with hispaw, or hewill nudge someone tounlock thedoor for him. While there, he takes a breakfrom “work” by napping under Paul’s desk.Unlike his owner, Buc has a head for

heights and will fearlessly travel with thecrew in lifts or up a flight of scaffoldingstairs.Paul describes Buc as extremely intelli-

gent. “He instinctively knows when he canfool around and when he must behave him-self. In summerhe is particularly fondof theoffice because it is air-conditioned.”Althoughconstruction is dustywork,Buc

cleans up with a good swim in the dam atthe top of Redhill and in the stream at No-ordhoek Common. Like most dogs, he ap-preciates a good romp on the beach, butdoesn’t do this regularly as Paul battles toget the sand out of his thick coat.Buc’s “work” may not be as essential to

the Silo District project as Paul’s, who is re-sponsible for positioning the architecturaland engineering designs on-site for contrac-tor WBHO, but everyone on site will agreethathebrings apositive influence to the job.Although a construction environment is astressful one, Buc’s presence lightens ev-eryone’s mood and has a general calminginfluence.Buc and Paul will remain on site until the

end of the Silo District construction workat the end of the year.

Buc, the Belgiumshepherd “working”on the Silo District’sconstruction team.

MARINE RESOURCES

Netting poachersCracking down on illegal poach-

ers, suchas thoseharvestingab-alone, will become easier after anthe signing of an agreement toboost resources fighting marinepoaching.

The City of Cape Town and theDepartment ofAgriculture, Forest-ry and Fisheries (Daff) have signedan Implementation Protocol thatpaves the way for closer coopera-tion and mutual support in thefight against illegal marine re-source extraction along the City’s300km coastline.

Through the ImplementationProtocol with Daff, City law en-forcement officers have beentrained and appointed as fisherycontrol officers in terms of the Ma-

rine Living Resources Act, withfull powers.

The City established a special-ised Marine and EnvironmentalLaw Enforcement Unit in 2013. Thefocus of the unit has been marineand coastal law enforcement, in-cluding inshore boat patrols.

Recent successes by the unit aretestament to the tireless efforts ofmembers of the unit. These haveincluded the arrest of a shop ownerin Glencairn for illegal possessionof over 800 West Coast rock lobsterand the arrest of nine suspects inGordon’s Bay for the illegal posses-sion of 200 abalone.

“Marine resource abuse is an is-sue that the local economy and ma-rine environment cannot afford,”

saysMaycomember for energy, en-vironmental and spatial planningJohan van der Merwe.

“As the City, it is vital for us toestablish effective ways of collabo-rating with partners such as Daffto fight against marine-relatedtransgressions taking place acrossthe city. Daff has proven to be aninvaluable partner and the expert-ise that they are bringing to the ta-ble is most welcome,” he says.

“It is very clear that increasedpartnerships between agenciesfromdifferent government spheresare key. We urge members of thepublic to also support us and ourpartners in our renewed efforts totackle the scourge of illegal marineresource extraction.”

Plan B for refuse collection servicesAs of July, the City of Cape Townare providing solid-waste collec-tion services directly to parts of thefar southandAtlantic Seaboard foran interim period.

These areas are normally ser-viced by City-appointed contrac-tors.

In various areas across CapeTown, the City’s solid-waste man-agement department contracts outits collection services.

The tenders –whichhavebeen inplace for the past three years – torender these services were termi-nated last week (Thursday 30

June). The services concerned arethe wheeliebin collection and recy-cling service to the communitiesthat form part of the Think TwiceProgramme.

Despite detailed planning by theCity for a smooth handover by thesuccessful bidders, unforeseenchallenges have delayed theawarding of the new contracts incertain areas.

Suburbs that will be affected areHout Bay, Llandudno, Bakoven,Camps Bay, Clifton, Fresnaye,Muizenberg, St James, Kalk Bay,Fish Hoek, Glencairn, Simon’s

Town, Sun Valley, Noordhoek,Kommetjie, Scarborough, OceanView and Masiphumelele.

Over the last week, the solid-waste management departmenthas been working hard to put inplace a contingency plan to ensurethat customers are provided witha quality service directly from theCity as of July.

The areas will be serviced by theCity on the same days as they arenormally servicedand theCitywillstrive to ensure that theonlydiffer-ence residents will notice is thechange in collection vehicles.

Chapman’s Peaktoll fees on the upToll fees on Chapman’s PeakDrive will increase from thismonth.

The fees will raise to R21 forregistered minibus taxi opera-tors, R27 for motorcycles, andR42 for light motor vehicles.

Taking plastic outof the environmentOnSunday 3 July theTwoOceansAquari-

um and organisations around the worldmarked International Plastic Bag Free Day.The day aims to raise awareness about

the unnecessary use of single-use plasticbags.The Two Oceans Aquarium supports a

ban of single use plastic shopping bags inSouth Africa through its Rethink the Bagcampaign. The campaign was launched byHayley McLellan, the aquarium’s environ-mental campaigner, who has worked tire-lessly since 2010 to educate, establish part-nerships and promote the campaign.Many countries around the world have

banned these bags. Rwanda did so in 2008and more recently the island chain of Ha-waii, Mauritius and Madagascar. Francewill have banned the bag by end 2016.Single-use shopping bags have a tremen-

dous impact on the environment, McLellansays.“South African consumers use approxi-

mately eight billion shopping bags eachyear. Of these about 96% end up in landfilland also threaten the lives of animals. Ev-ery day we hear about what is going wrongin the environment and this can feel disem-powering. Always choosing reusable bags,rather than plastic bags, is such a simpleway for each person to do something to ben-efit our world and feel like they are makinga difference, seemingly against the odds.”There is also an economic impact for

South African consumers, McLellan says.“In 2003 a levy was included in the price

of each shopping bag sold in South Africa.Between 2004 and 2014, R1.2bnwas collectedthrough this levy. Only R200m of this mon-ey has been allocated to the Department ofEnvironmental Affairs. In 2011 the compa-

ny thatwas established tomanage the fundsgenerated by the bag levy, was disbanded.However, consumers continue to pay thebag levy every time they purchase a single-use plastic shopping bag.”Animals mistake plastic bags for food.

Once ingested, the animals die from intesti-nal blockages and starvation. Eighty per-cent of allmarine litter is plastic and plasticbags can take 500 to 1000 years to degrade.V To show your support of the Rethink the Bag cam-paign, visit www.rethinkthebag.org and sign the peti-tion to urge the government to ban plastic bags

Ribbon cut onwetlands trailJANE GINSBERG

@SVEcoWatch

The Sun Valley Wetlands Brigantine Riv-er Trail was officially opened by over 50

participants on Saturday 25 June.Richard Tolsma of 2nd Fish Hoek Scouts

cut the ribbon before Alan Rainnie of SunValley Eco Watch led the group of walkersalong the 2km trail, stopping at variouspoints of interest along the trail which havebeen marked with red arrow pointers onfelled tree stumps. The first stop was at theBrigantine River, where the scouts con-structed a bridge over the banks.EvanneRothwell, well known for her ded-

ication toSanccobandother environmentalissues, took part and pointed out variousplants and insects of interest, as did localresident Kit de Jong.

Linda Gxilayo, one of the City of CapeTown’s GreenWardens, was also there. Shehas been instrumental in path building,alien clearing, planting aloes and the likein that area, inaddition to clearingout somereeds. All present were impressed at thealien clearancewhichhas resulted in the in-digenous species growing back prolifically,encouraging birdlife.Rainnie gave a good insight into the area,

mentioning that the nearest area of similarecological structure was at Cape Hangklip,the connection occurring before the sea sep-arated the mountains. He mentioned thedreamof extending and linking trails all theway fromcoast to coast: FishHoek toNoord-hoek.The circular Brigantine River Trail was

completed in just over an hour, with manystops for photos, questions and breaks.

A 20-year-old Masiphumelele residenthas big dreams to change the world

through design.Mzwandile Xhonti’s creativity and love

for design got him interested in fashion de-sign, and he is now teaching others the art.He enrolled as a Youth Intern at the Des-

mond Tutu HIV Foundation Youth Centre(DTHF YC), which runs a programme thatprovidesXhontiwithwell-supervisedworkexperience, equips him with interpersonaland leadership skills, and educates him inbasic project management skills.Xhonti studied at Masiphumelele High

school until Grade 10. He then transferredto False Bay College where he successfullycompleted a course inhospitality and cater-ing. His love for anything creative led himto enrol into a six-month sewing and cloth-ing pattern making course.By day Xhonti is an intern at the youth

centre and by night he is a budding entre-preneur. He has conceptualised a clothingbrand called ARTTRA – transformed recy-cled art. Mzwai’s current entrepreneurialinterest is focused on designing rucksacks,outfits with attitude, and accessories toboot. He uses ‘old outfits’ as the foundation-al material to create hip street fashion.Mzwai’s dream is to open a shop in Ma-

siphumelele that will showcase his crea-tions. TheARTTRAbrand has been in exis-tence for 10 months and is dynamicallyevolving.“My dream for the future is to go back

to university to study fashion and designand then go ahead and own a clothing storein one of the biggest malls in Cape Town,”he says.“I believe that fashion and designs can

transform communities because it can cre-ate opportunities for the youth to developthe skills to create their own clothing de-signs. In the long term they can own a localclothing store that would create more jobopportunities for the youth.”Xhonti is coming to the end of his Youth

Intern experience at the DTHF YC. Howev-er, he is very keen to volunteer a few hourseach week to workshop design and patternmaking skills with interested young peopleat the DTHF YC. Mzwai believes that “pay-ing it forward” is an honourable principleto live by.Thechallengehe faces is theneed for sew-

ing machines to help him facilitate his al-truistic initiative and realise his empower-ment endeavour.V To assist Xhonti with a donation or mentoring, con-tact Dante Robbertze at [email protected] or 021 785 5454.

LEGAL TALK WITH DENZIL

When is it murder?Over the past few years there hasbeenmuch debate about the differ-ence between murder and culpa-ble homicide.It is only recently, with the Os-

car Pistorius trial, that the differ-ence between the two concepts hasbeen debated and become a hottopic on social media. It has cer-tainly raised interesting yet con-troversial issues.This is largely controversial and

not clear as one would think, espe-cially after the Supreme Court ofAppeal set aside the finding andconviction of the court a quo onculpable homicide of Pistorious,and substituting it with a findingof murder. As a consequence, theaccused sentence was trumped upto a minimum of 15 years.Murder is a serious offence and

can be punishable by a minimumsentence of up to 15 years to life.Culpable homicide is less seriousand could be punishable by only afew years depending upon the cir-cumstances.The assumption by some laypeo-

ple is that if an accused kills a vic-tim, the action is automaticallyperceived as murder. That posi-tion is incorrect.As a result of the above percep-

tion, many asked the question:“Why Oscar was not charged withmurder as opposed to the the less-er crimeof culpablehomicide?”Aswe know this has now been substi-tuted and his charge has now beenchanged to murder and we areawaiting the sentence that fits therevised charge.In a nutshell, the difference be-

tween the charges is rather sim-ple: murder requires intentionwhile the culpable homicide re-quires negligence.Murder is the intentional, un-

lawful killing of another humanbeing. Murder therefore requiresthat the accused acted with the in-tention to kill. In other words, theaccused strategically planned theunlawful act of murder. Alterna-tively, it can be “legal intention”as discussed below.Culpable homicide, however, is

deemed a potentially unforeseea-ble, unplanned accident.The fundamental question, from

a criminal law perspective, did theaccused actwith the intentionnec-essary for a charge of murder?In recent years the concept of in-

tention has extended to cover notjust deliberatebut foreseeable con-duct.The accused does not mean nor

intend for the unlawful act to hap-pen, but he must have foreseenthat it might happen. This is re-ferred to as dolus eventualis.An example of dolus eventualis

is where someone decides to burna block of apartments occupying20 families.Hemight not have had the clear

intention to kill anyone in theapartments but the law recognisesthat he intended the death of somepeople by his actions. In essence,by foreseeing the possibility ofdeath (however remote) and act-ing regardless, he had the inten-tion to commit murder.Importantly, the accused does

not have to foresee the result as a

probable outcome of his conduct,but he must at least have foreseenthe outcome as a possibility.In a nutshell, the test for dolus

eventualis is whether the accusedforesaw the remote possibility ofharm. It is then deemed “legal in-tention” and the charge will bemurder.Culpable homicide, likemurder,

is a form of unlawful killing. Thedifference is that murder is inten-tional, whereas culpable homicideis a negligent act of killing.How does the court draw that

distinction?The court uses an objective test

to ascertain if the act was negli-gent. In otherwords, to shownegli-gence the Prosecution must showthat a “reasonable man” in the po-sition of the accused, would nothave foreseen the death as a resultof the consequences.The question is therefore: did

the accused foresee the possibilityof killing someone when he firedthe gun (culpable homicide) ormust the accused have foreseenthe possibility of killing someone(murder)?The test is one of the “reasonable

man” – the court will examinewhat the objective circumstancesof a “reasonable man” would havebeen in the situation of the ac-cused.The conclusion of the examina-

tion will determine the outcome.V This column was contributed by DenzilJacobs, an admitted advocate with ex-pertise in commercial law. For guidance onlegal issues email him on [email protected].

LETTERS

Thanks to themen in blueLast Tuesday evening around21:00 I had a most terrifyingexperience while driving on theM3 highway between the Lady’sMile on-ramp and the Tokaioff-ramp.My car was sideswiped by an

out-of-control vehicle which flewon for about 50 meters and slidoff into the ditch.Thankfully, I was in the right

lane and was able to stop, turnon hazards and move off theroad into the emergency lane.A few moments later a metro

police vehicle arrived andseeing my hazards and myflashing lights turned back andtook control.I just want to say how

re-assuring, comforting andorganised they were.There was also a Kirstenhof

neighbourhood communityofficer, Hadyn, who was simplymarvellous and transported meto Kirstenhof Police Stationwhere again I received theupmost courtesy.I was advised not to attempt

to drive my car and agreed to

accept the assistance and adviceof an AA affiliated recoveryagent.As I am a member of the AA

I saw no problem with that, butin the next few days the releasecost of the vehicle was aproblem and resulted in a delayin my car being sent forassessment and repair.However the purpose of this

letter is in praise of our veryoverworked police force and ourdedicated emergency workerswho have to deal with all thesesituations – many much morehorrific than mine.We get daily negative reports

about our police force so I thinkin my case a little praise is inorder.The good news is that there

were no serious injuries to themany occupants of the unli-censed vehicle, driven by anuninsured and unlicenseddriver.My most sincere thanks to all

who were involved.M.A. JOHNSTONMarina da Gama

Wintermarks the time of year that the liqui-fied petroleumgas (LPG) business grows ex-ponentially almost overnight.LPG is amixture of two gases, butane and

propane, which are both derived from therefining process of crude oil into petroleum.These two gases are extremely flammable,but stable and safe when handled correctly.AlthoughLPGnaturally does not have a dis-tinctive colour or smell, the refineries addsulphur to the mixture to make it easilyidentifiable should there be a leak. As a re-sult, gas leaks are easy to detect and reducesthe risk of injury to leaks to almost zero.As with electricity, negligence causes ac-

cidents. LPG can be safely transported andstored in cylinders. These cylinders allworkon a deposit basis from the major industryleaders, retailing for R342 (including VAT)as a national standard. This means that theconsumer is able to exchange any of thesecylinders at any distributor and still main-tain the deposit, as it stays constant betweenthe various suppliers.When purchasing a cylinder from a dis-

tributor it is important to note that the ‘heatshrink’ seal on the valve matches the makeof the cylinder purchased. Should younoticethat the seal is clear without any markings,this may be an indication that the cylinder

has not been filled by an authorised dealerand you might be compromising the safetyof your family. The seal on the cylinder hasa serial numberwhich is linked toa specificdistributor to ensure accountability in thecase of under-filling or injury.During winter the LPG business runs on

the limit for around four months. People inthe Western Cape often experience shorta-ges during this time, due to the enormousdemand. Companies such as Eddlesgas inRetreat have stated that business can in-crease from30 tonnes permonth to asmuchas 110 tonnes permonthduringpeakwintertimes.It is imperative to follow someeasy safety

tips:. Check for seals on cylinders,. Ensure the cylinder is safe for use

(clear markings on the cylinder to deter-mine correct mass and capacity, little to norust visible, the valve is intact, there is nooil/ grease on the cylinder),

. Make use of a respected, authoriseddistributor,

. Be familiar with your appliance,

. Ensure your appliance is approved byLPGSA, and

. There are no leaks between the cylin-der and the appliance (check for leaks byspraying soapy water on all the connec-tions and checking for excessive bubbles).Modern LPG appliances all have safety

features which make them about as safe touse as a toaster.Lastly, ensure your gas installation has

a valid Certificate of Compliance (COC).This ensures you conform to the local legis-lation regarding gas installations, and willcover you in the event of an insuranceclaim. A valid COC has also become a legalrequirement like a beetle and electrical cer-tificate when renting, buying or selling aproperty.V LPG is safe when handled correctly and proper careis taken. Should you have any queries or questionsregarding the safe usage of LPG feel free to call 0861BUY GAS, for free advice from professionals in theindustry.

Building concerts,from the fans upLOUISA STEYL

@LouSteyl

Twomusic fans have started a new projectwhich they hope might revolutionse the

South African live music industry.Inspired by an American crowd-funding

campaign, Sea Point’s Richard Theunissenand Stuart Walsh from Parklands recentlylaunched their website Inbound Sound.In a nutshell, the website givesmusic fans

the opportunity to requestthe artists they want to seelive in their city.“Stuart and I are big fans of

the Foo Fighters,” Richardexplains. “We got wind of aconcert that was crowd-fund-ed in America two years agoand thatwas before itwas an-nounced that they would becoming to South Africa.”At that stage, crowd fund-

ing was still a relatively newconcept, and although it’sgrown generally on a globalscale, Richard points out thatit’s still “relatively new” inSA.“People are a little scepti-

cal. Generally the first ques-tion they ask is: ‘Why do weneed to give our money awayfirst?’, and it’s understanda-ble.”Richard explains that he and Stuart see

their role in the industry as educators on thebenefits of crowdfundingwhile empoweringfans to “make concerts happen”. He saysmany music fans seem to be frustrated withnot being able to see their favourite acts live.Inbound Sound allows fans to request a

concert by any artists, across genres, wheth-er they are local or international, commer-cial or lesser-known.Once a concert has been requested, Rich-

ard andStuart,workingwith industry insid-ers, calculate how much would need to beraised to set the concert up and the show isopened to pledges from other fans who mayalso want to see the show.Fanswho pledge a contribution to the con-

cert have essentially already bought theirtickets and once enough funds have beenraised, Richard and Stuart will work withpromotors to bring the act to local shores.“We are basically just providing the plat-form.”Should they not be able to raise the funds

needed, fans will be able to get a full refund,making sure they don’t pay for a show theywon’t see.“The feedback we’ve received [so far] has

been phenomenal, and that’s very encourag-ing – we’re on to something that peoplewant.”While many of the shows already request-

ed on the website are for international acts,Richard says: “We’re big on local music.”In fact, they’re hoping their first “success

story” will be staging ashow for a local act. “The lo-cal music scene, both main-stream and niche, is mas-sive, andwewant to tap intothat.”The duo are already in

talks with local artists andwhile Richard says it maytake a couple of months toget the first concert off theground, “once that first con-cert has happened its basi-cally going to revolutionisewhereandwhenartists playlocally”.Because they are dealing

with “other people’s mon-ey”, Stuart and Richardwere very focused on mak-ing sure that “everythingwas above board” and astransparent and open aspossible when they created

the website.Users need to log in to the site before mak-

ing pledges and Richard assures that showswon’t be left on a site indefinitely. If a pro-posed concert hasn’t gained momentum aft-er a fewmonths, they’ll take the showoff andrefund the users who have pledged. Userscan also request a refund at any point,should their personal financial situationschange. “We’re not looking to take advan-tage.”Richard also stresses that Inbound

Sound’s core function is to be a crowd fund-ing site. They want to work with promotorsand venues, but have no aspirations of tak-ing over their roles.Inbound Sound’s role rather, is giving

fans a voice and a choice “Historicallythey’ve never had a say,” he says of the actswho travel to South Africa. “All you need isa lot of people with the same idea.”V For more information about Inbound Sound, to re-quest a concert, or to see which concerts are open forpledges, visit www.inboundsound.co.za.

A Cape Town ice skater will be among theinternational stars out on the ice when Dis-ney On Ice presents Worlds of Enchantmentcomes to the Grand Arena.He’s already performed in front of thou-

sands of audiences around theworld, includ-ingmany celebrities, but Quiesto Spier-ingshoek counts the opportunity toperform inhis home city as one of thehighlights of his career.Quiesto’s ice skating career start-

ed thanks to fellow South AfricanDisney On Ice Skater, Nicole Ru-dolph,who skatedwithDisneyOn Icecelebrates 100 Years of Magic dur-ing its 2014 South Africantour.“My skating journey began

when I was 11-years-old. Mybest friend introducedme intothe sport and you can say therest is history.”Quiesto started training at

the Junior Blades Club while being coachedby Chris Stokes and Dantin Broodryk andwent on to win the Junior Grand Prix Golddance medal (compulsory dances) at theJunior Worlds in 2007 and 2008.After his success as a professional skater,

Quiesto tookup teaching; trainingyoungup-and-coming figure skaters at GrandWest’sIce Station.When Nicole sent her audition tapes to

Disney on Ice, she included a few clips of her

routines with Quiesto and in 2011 he alsojoined the company. “One can say I was for-tunate and lucky,” he says.While he wants to surprise Cape Town au-

diences with which character he’ll be bring-ing to life when he performs at the Grand

Arena fromWednesday 6 to Sunday 10July, Quiesto has already had achance to playmany of Disney’s be-loved characters.This year’s Disney on Ice produc-

tion, Worlds of Enchantment, willfeature characters from The LittleMermaid, Cars, Toy Story 3 and Fro-zen, along with Mickey Mouse, Min-nie Mouse, Donald Duck andGoofy. “Cape Town audienceswill enjoy the show because itis a show of all ages, filled withloads of characters, humourand fun,” Quiesto says, refer-ring to the characters and sto-ries thatwill be brought to life.

“The show promise to excite, ignite and cap-tivate audiences from start to end.”After his performances in his hometown,

Quiesto will return to the United Stateswhere he’ll be working on Disney on Ice’snext production, Dare to Dream.V Worlds of Enchantment will be staged at the Grand-West Grand Arena at 14:00 and 18:00 on Wednesday6 July, 11:00 and 15:00 on Thursday 7 July and 10:00,14:00 and 18:00 from Friday 8 to Sunday 10 July.

Ashford Athleticeyes top-four spotJOSEPH PILLAY

It is no secret that Ashford Athletic is eye-ing a top-four finish.Their 2-0 victory against Wesley United

in Saturday’s Cape District LFA SuperLeague encounter at the William Herbertsports complex inWynbergbrought somere-ality to their aspiration and currently placesecond on the league table.The Heathfield-based side moved three

places up, bypassing Stephanian Ottery andGlendeneUnited,who all suffered defeats onSaturday against Salt River Blackpool (3-0)and Ocean View (2-1) respectively.The much needed victory which was Ash-

ford’s eight in the league boosted theirpoints tally to 26 from 14 assignments.They are way off the pace to challenge for

league honours asGreenwoodAthleticmustbe rated as firm favourites to regain thechampionship title from Ocean View.UnbeatenGreenwoodAthletic are the cur-

rent pacesetters with 43 points from 15matches following their 4-0 comprehensivevictory againstGrassyParkUnited inSteen-berg.Nonetheless, Wesley United competed

with venom and kept a scoreless first halfthough they were unlucky on two occasionsnot to have scored.During the second stanza Ashford Athlet-

ic soon they held the edge in all facets of thegame.However,Mikhail Aranes turned out to be

the star of the show; scoring a brace and pav-ing the way for Ashford Athletic to securea well deserved 2-0 victory.Meanwhile Southampton in the early

game showed their opponents a clean pairof heels as they humiliated Devonshire Rov-ers 5-0 after having led 2-0 at the break.Thewin gaveSouthamptona one-point ad-

vantage over Richard Mahwayo’s Devon-shire side – which are placed tenth with 15points from 14 matches – while Southamp-ton are presently on 16 points from13 games.Nevertheless, the diminutive midfielder,

Dillon Arendse of Devonshire Rovers failedto get the batter of Deon Jacobs and compa-ny. The Devonshire attacking players ofDaniel Slingers and Olin Warner could alsonot come to grips with their game.However, Southampton made their pres-

ence felt and five goals were scored throughGershwin January, Marcus Mento in thefirst half and a further three through Shah-eed and Sedick Solomons (2).Results:Super League: Greenwood Athletic 4,
