Many minds over one buildingDALEEN FOUCHÉ

THE deadline for tenants tovacate the Zandvlei Com-

munity Centre, a City of CapeTown-ownedbuilding inMainRoad Muizenberg, is fast ap-proaching. However, the ten-ants are objecting to the evic-tion.

People’s Post previously re-ported on the City’s plans to pro-vide an office for traffic officialsin this building, to improve re-sponse times in traffic emergen-cies (“Traffic centre tizz,” Peo-ple’s Post, 27 September 2011).

The building used to be mu-nicipal stables, and is now beingused as a community centre.

The 1st Muizenberg Sea ScoutGroup, one of the tenants in themunicipal building, has submit-ted a letter of objection to this de-cision. The City, however, hasturned down the scouts’ objec-tion and has not responded to arequest for an alternative ven-ue.

The Muizenberg Scouts,which was started in 1909, hasbeen housed in that building forover 50 years.

The scouts’ letter of objectionstates that the eviction threat-ens the existence of this group.

Furthermore, the five commu-nity orientatedbusinesses in theZandvlei Community Centre,has also submitted a letter of ob-jection to the eviction. This toowas turned down.

The five businesses state thatthey provide much-neededtraining to the disabled. WilliamvanVuurenofFix-A-DingPanel-beaters says the five businesseswill petition their eviction. “Wewill not take this lying down,”he says.

The City’s decision has alsobeen criticised by the Muizen-berg Improvement District(MID).

Mike Romyn, MID chairper-son, says that this decision is notnecessarily in the best interestsof the community, even thoughcouncil has followed proper pro-

cedure and is well within itsrights to house the Traffic De-partment in that building.

Romyn says the buildingshould rather be used as a home-less shelter. Richard Frost, aformer chairperson of the 1stMuizenberg Sea Scout Group,says the City originally askedthat the tenants be evicted fromthe premises by October, but thedate has been extended to De-cember.

Frost further questionswhether therearenoother coun-cil buildings in which to housethe Traffic Department.

Alderman Felicity Purchase,chairperson for subcouncil 19,says it is “not a done deal” thatthe Traffic Department will behoused in that building. Shesays the City is still looking atalternatives.

She says that she would preferto house the Traffic Offices inFish Hoek, but that there are nosuitable buildings in Fish Hoek.

The decision to house a TrafficDepartment office in the Far

Southwas taken threeyears ago.Money for this project was takenout of councillor’s ward alloca-tion budget, with each council-lor setting aside R200 000 of theircapital expenditure budget overa three-year period for the pur-pose.

“We desperately need to getthe Traffic Department closer toour area.” Currently Traffic Of-ficers who serve the Far Southoperate from Hillstar in Ottery,where they need to log in and outat the start and end of everyshift. Travel between these are-as takes at least two hours a day,she said

Purchase, who completed herown Girl Guide training onthese premises, says she acceptsthat a new location must befound for the Muizenberg ScoutGroup.

Purchase says that the Citywould not change the building,but will renovate and restore it.It is protected as a national her-itage building and can not be al-tered.

So long and thanks for all the fishDALEEN FOUCHÉ

AFTER two years of being the communi-ty journalist for the False Bay edition ofPeople’s Post, it is with some reluctancethat I am leaving the beautiful commu-nities of the Far South to begin a new ad-venture in the countryside of the West-ern Cape.

I find myself struggling to find words todescribe my experiences in this farewell ar-ticle.

During my time working and living in theFar South, I have seen, experienced andwrote about the many challenges, intriguesand beauty of the place and people.

But most importantly, I have learned themeaning of community.

Community newspapers are often over-looked by “serious” news consumers.

However, it provides an important plat-form for neighbours to connect in this mod-ern and globalising world.

It gives voice to the man on the street,those who are often ignored.

For a community newspaper to serve itsreadership as it should, reader involvementis key.

And I have been humbled by the selflessinvolvement of individuals.

Public debate on challenging issues isalive and well in the letters pages and theregular photo contributions from readers,featured in People’s Post, testify to the area’stalent and beauty.

One of my biggest challenges during mytime at People’s Post, was to report on thedevastating fire in the Wetlands inMasiphumelele in May this year. However,hope followed soon, when neighbouringcommunities extended help to those wholost everything.

This generosity was not a once-off occur-rence.

This newspaper has served as platformfor many calls for help and very rarely arethose calls left unanswered.

In the Far South residents struggle to findthe balance between the natural and resi-dential areas and this conflict has manifest-ed in several ways, including baboon and

human conflict.Development proposals remain one the

most contested matters in the area with con-cerns about sufficient infrastructure at theforefront.

However, if there has ever been a commu-nity which insists on being heard, it is thoseof the Far South.

Communities mobilise themselves tovoice their greatest concerns. One exampleis the pressure that residents placed on au-thorities to make Kommetjie Road safer forall its users. Another is the hands-on man-ner in which civic organisations oppose un-wanted and inappropriate developments.

Civic involvement has also ensured ur-ban renewal in places like Muizenberg,which is regaining its status as a popularholiday destination.

I have found that the driving force behindthe civic involvement is the passion of com-munities for their home and environment.

Far South cars are often adorned with Ilove Kommetjie/Scarborough/Simon’sTown stickers and the many local festivalshelp celebrate the heritage.

So, without getting sentimental, I urgeyou all to stay involved and let your voicebe heard.

And in the words of the HitchhikersGuide to the Galaxy, “So long and thanksfor all the fish.”

Water disruption for Kalk BayTHE City of Cape Town’s Water and Sanita-tion Department will be completing a link be-tween the upgraded 300mm diameter watersupply line in Main Road, Kalk Bay to the ex-isting water reticulation network on Thurs-day 1 December.

This involves shutting off the 315mm diame-ter main water supply line to the area. Thework involves four connections between thenew and existing infrastructure in this vicini-ty. This will result in the disruption of the wa-ter supply from 08:30 until 17:00 to the areafrom Rosmead Road, Kalk Bay, right throughto, and including, Clovelly (between MainRoad and Boyes Drive).

The areas affected by this shutdown are Ka-lk Bay and Clovelly.

Residents are requested to store sufficientwater in clean, sealed containers for domesticconsumption to minimise the inconvenience.

A water tanker will be placed on standby at

the car park near the intersection of Clair-vaux Road (Boyes Drive) and the Main Road,should residents require any water for domes-tic consumption.

This section of pipeline forms part of Phase2 of the Main Road rehabilitation project inprogress between Muizenberg and Clovelly.

This project is part of the City’s pipeline re-placement programme to timeously replaceaging or deteriorating infrastructure to en-sure that drinking water of a high quality isprovided to citizens. Residents must also en-sure that their taps are closed whilst the workis in progress, to avoid the possibility of waterloss or damage being incurred if the watersupply and pressure is restored when nobodyis at home. The City wishes to apologise forany inconvenience. It is imperative that wemaintain our water supply infrastructure toensure the continued supply of quality drink-ing water to our citizens.

Fish Hoek winnersto be announcedBUSINESSES that made it to the finals in theKeep Fish Hoek Beautiful and Service Excel-lence awards, will be invited to an AwardsCeremony at Calders Hotel and ConferenceCentre on Thursday 1 December.

Members of the public can also attend thefunction, which starts at 18:30 for 19:00.

Sharks scare off swimmersSEVENTEEN per cent of people respond-ing to a survey said they had cancelledtheir planned holiday to Fish Hoek dueto the recent shark attack at Fish HoekBeach (“Shark safety – the choice isyours,” People’s Post, 4 October 2011).

The survey was launched from the ScenicSouth community website (www.scenic-south.co.za), in conjunction with the FishHoek Surf Lifesaving Club.

However, the response to the survey wasvery low.

Mike Schilperoort, who is in charge ofshark safety at theFishHoekSurfLifesavingClub, said a mere 437 people and businesseshad participated in the survey thus far. Thisis in stark contrast to the over 1.2 millionpeople who had watched the YouTube videoof events after the attack on Michael Cohenon 28 September. Schilperoort said “We feltit was essential to design and run a simplesurvey as soon as possible to test percep-tions.

Answers to these questions could then beused by the various interested parties.”

He says the survey could have been morecomprehensive, but the current survey canbe used as a “baseline” from which to pro-duce a more focused survey.

Of those who took the survey, 6% were po-

tential holiday makers, 8% were local busi-ness people. While 70% identified them-selves as residents of the South Peninsulaor Cape Town, 14% were residents of thegreater Cape Town area.

A significant 89% of respondents said thatthey are regular visitors to Fish Hoek Beachand 77% will continue to use Fish HoekBeach, but only 61%, stated that they wouldswim, kayak or surf. Seventeen per cent ofrespondents indicated that they had can-celled their planned holiday in Fish Hoek.Schilperoort says this indicates that the at-tack has had an effect on the local communi-ty and the number of visitors to Fish Hoek.However, he says the international reces-sion might also have had an effect on thenubmer of visitors.

Fish Hoek Beach used to be synonymouswith safe swimming and has always been afamily and surf lifesaving beach of nationalsignificance.

“For decades, it has been the trainingground for many of South Africa’s top lifesavers and paddleskiers, who went on to be-come world champions.”

At present, says Schilperoort, the pressureon Lifesavers and Shark Spotters is im-mense. “How do we educate the public aboutassessing the risks of shark attacks andabout understanding the Shark Spotters’

service?”“We need to find ways to make Fish Hoek

beach safer for swimming, in a way that isalso environmentally friendly.”

Schilperoot and the Scenic South team ex-pressed their thanks to Mark Webb of TargetLink Research for turning questions into aprofessional survey. Note that the surveyhas not closed, but will run through the holi-day season, so, if you have not yet filled itin, visit www.scenicsouth.co.za

The law relating to dogsTERESA FISCHER

THE ongoing debateabout walking dogs in

public places, particularlyon beaches will result in therules at each beach being re-viewed.

Richard Bosman, ExecutiveDirector: Safety and Security,City of Cape Town says therewill be a formal public partici-pation process during thecourse of next year. A series ofnotices will be published incommunity newspapers andon Subcouncil noticeboards.

A reader from Glencairn hadtaken up the matter with LawEnforcement following an inci-dent on Glencairn Beach. Thereader, who has a guest houseand asked not to be named,says that guests had been “se-verely harassed” by dogs onthe beach.

He says the signage at the en-trance to Glencairn Beach isconfusing. One sign states “NoDogs” and another sign states“Dogs on leads.”

He was subsequently told bya City of Cape Town Law en-forcement officer that Glen-cairn is traditionally a beachwhere dogs were always al-lowed to run loose.

He says that he was told byLaw Enforcement that dogsare not required to be on leadsin public places, they mustmerely be “under control.”

However, Moyo MqabukoNdukwana, Inspectorate Man-ager at the Cape of Good HopeSPCA points to Section 6(h)(vi)of the Animal Bylaw 2010which states:

“No person shall permit anydog owned or kept by him orher to be in any public streetor public place except on aleash and under control unless

the dog is in an area designatedby the Council as a free run-ning area.

Ndukwana says an exampleof a free running area is FishHoek beach. He notes that theSPCA’s focus is animal welfareand not the enforcing of the by-law. Bosman responds thatGlencairn Beach has two for-mal entrances, which runsparallel to the railway tracks.“At each entrance there is mul-ti-purpose signage board, withvarious pictograms depictingthat dogs are allowed, but theirexcrement must be picked upby the owner. The pictogramsdo not imply the prohibition ofdogs,” says Bosman. Bosmanreferred to the same section ofthe Animal Bylaw 2010 men-tioned by Ndukwana. Bosmansays that the City’s Law En-forcement Officers enforce thelaw in relation to what is stipu-lated by signage.

Now open, a place of supportTHE Victim empowerment Program (VEP) is aprogramme established and launched by theSouth African Police Services to offer assist-ance and support to victims of crime. It is a vol-untary service by concerned members of thecommunity whose hearts go out to those whohave been violated by crime.

People’s Post False Bay LEADER Tuesday 29 November 2011

Aim for zeroAS the world commemorates World Aids Dayon 1 December, South Africa sets itself a newtarget to attain a zero rate of new infections.

SA is said to have the fastest growing HIVinfection rate in the world, with 1800 peoplebecoming infected every day.

However, in the next few decades we couldsee a turn-around, provided we adopt theright collective approach. A zero-new-infec-tion rate was the international challengeposed by the United Nations. At the core isan education drive that targets the most mostvulnerable.

South Africa has come a long way in fight-ing the Aids pandemic. While there is stillrampant stigma and discrimination againstthose battling the disease, South Africansnow enjoy free Anti Retroviral Treatment atmany primary health care facilities.

In September, Social Development Minis-ter Bathabile Dlamini stressed the impor-tance of zero deaths, zero discrimination andzero new infections as a platform to deter-mine our policies in fighting the pandemic.

But, in truth, it is not just the government’sfight, but the responsibility of each of us.

To ensure victory over HIV/Aids, it is vitalthat the ignorance, fear and prejudice againstthose who fight the virus be eradicated.

Only then will treatment campaigns andpreventative strategies be best implementedto yield tangible results.

Success in the future relies on early educa-tion campaigns.

HIV/Aids prevention should be a mandato-ry cornerstone of high school education, sothat the future adult population can entertheir adult lives knowing the risks and the re-alities of living with the disease.

Parents and community leaders have equalroles to play.

The battle is far from won, but we are mak-ing positive steps in the right direction. ThisWorld Aids Day, acknowledge that victory isup to each of us.

What about the residents?I AM quite appalled and disgusted inAnonymous from Fish Hoek regardingthe Baboon matter.

Does this person realize that the manis 77?

Everyone is accusing this poor manand his wife of doing this terrible deed.Why don’t these people who are so for thebaboons take them and go an live withthem in the woods.

Take them with you. Do you realize theharm they cause?

What if this 77 year old man was yourfather, mother or wife or even you, feel-ing threatened by this animal?

What would you do, feed it a banana?This is not a once-of occurrence, this hap-pens daily and is getting out of control.Who is protecting the humans here?

I do not believe there was any premedi-tation here, it was just a case of survivalfor him and his wife.

I am so sick to my stomach that we haveto share this Fish Hoek with a person likethis that do not care for his fellow manbut rather an animal who deserves to bein the bush and who causes fear amongstthe residence of Fish Hoek and surround-ing areas.

I do not condone what the man hasdone, but you were not there to see theanguish or fear that could have occurredin that instance.

Have you been raided by these animals

in your house or your loved ones - I guessnot.

So don’t you be the first one to judgeif you were not in that scenario.

You mention in your letter that youhave had many encounters with the ba-boons and all they want is food.

What do the baboons do if you cannotgive them any food?

These Baboons just do what they wantand themonitors cannot control them.Noone does anything.

Why don’t you go live with the baboonson the mountain and keep them awayfrom the humans in order to stop harm-ing the humans and their belongings.

Maybe Baboon Matters or SPCA Wild-life should compensate for all damagesdone in households by Baboons in orderto prevent any unnecessary ill doings to-wards the baboons.

In this case the baboons will be lookedafter and the residents of the surroundingarea. Should anything arise, proper ac-tion can then be taken.

Always remember there is more thanone side to a story and I find it hard tobelieve that a 77-year-old man from thearea will just go and grab his rifle and goand shoot a baboon for an invalid reason– knowing the situation that is currentlybeing experienced with the baboons.STEPHANIEFish Hoek

Uninvited guest a fiend or friend?I LIVE in Risiview area.

Engrossed in a TV programme, Ilooked up and saw a large male baboonwatching TV with me (Criminal Minds).

The only thing he it was interested at-tacking was a jar of peanut butter!

Shooting the baboon was totally un-

called for.Sit still, wait till they leave, close the

door.Spray them with a hose pipe when

they are outside, it worked for me.KIM BOSHOFFFish Hoek

The end of Mr Lonely. A heartbreaking story of

a poor carthorse’s suffering.The owner deserves to be tor-tured.

violence, but in the case ofMr Lonely I could quite hap-pily harness those three mento the cart and drive them todeath. I could quite happilymatch every welt on that poorhorse’s body with a matchingone on theirs. RIP Mr Lonely.

. The bastards who abusedMr Lonely in that mannershould be treated in the samemanner and left to die as hedid. May they rot in hell! HH

. Reading the shockingtale of Mr Lonely made meponder on the utter cruelty ofman. Animals give total loveand obedience, asking forvery little in return.

Just a thought. In response to the SMS

Carthorse killers are monstersI HOPE the barbarians who inflicted thatabuse and agony on their carthorse die an ago-nizing, slow death one day and that they havea miserable life until then.

That article upset me to the point of not be-ing able to sleep at night (“Mr Lonely drivento death,” People’s Post, 22 November 2011).

It is obvious what their intention was, todrive the poor animal to a state of sheer ex-haustion so that it would not be able to resistthem castrating it, although your article doesnot state this.

They did not want to pay a vet to do the oper-ation under general anaesthetic as per nor-mal, or to bother contacting a welfare organi-zation for financial help.

A stallion is a dangerous animal to confine,unless you have the proper expertise and facil-ities.

Yet the owner could pay R3 000 bail to avoid

jail? After their botched attempt to castratethe poor wretched animal, it was simply leftto die in agony.

Are these people classified as human be-ings?

No, they fall under the “monster” category,along with rapists, child-molesters, murder-ers, satanists and such.

Why don’t carthorse owners simply buy anold car?

A horse doesn't cost five cents to “run” andit is a beautiful, sensitive and noble creature.These people always have contacts to repaircars, and retread tyres – why do they need tosubject horses to reckless drivers, blisteringlong hot summers, and improper care?

I wish the worst death for the evil sadistswho tortured “Mr Lonely.”OUTRAGED ANIMAL-LOVERMarina da Gama

Fight or flight - I choose flightON Thursday morning 24 November I was athome with my two children and two of theirfriends.

Three of the children were playing outsidein our front garden and I was inside thehouse. My daughter was inside as well.

I heard my son and his friends shout, “Ba-boons!”Therewasa lot of commotionand thekids all wanted to get inside. I ran as quicklyas I could to the front door to get the kids in-side.

As I got my son and his friend inside therewas a baboon right behind her coming up thesteps and there was one on our veranda too.

I couldn’t close the door on it as it was soclose behind her, we turned and ran to theclosest room.

That was when I realised that I didn’t haveall four children. One was still stuck outside!

Luckily he didn’t show aggressive behav-iour towards the baboons on the veranda, sohe was by passed by the baboons, but he wasleft outside with no way of getting throughthe front door to us.

By this time there were baboons in thehouse and outside.

The young boy caught outside managed toclimb through the window into the room wewere in. As the baboons had followed us intothe house we barricaded the door, not know-ingwhatmood theywere inand if theywouldfollow us.

We were stuck inside – listening to themcorner my cat in the kitchen – who thankful-ly got away. And hearing them ransack thekitchen.

Having had previous experience with ba-boons in my house (I’ve been cornered in mykitchen, while one sat eating our fruit) I’vetaught my children to drop any food (if theyare holding any) and run inside as quicklyas they can.

However, this is our fourth or fifth time ofhaving them in the house.

The third time we’ve been in an extremelystressful situation with children involved.

This is not including the countless timesthey’ve been outside foraging in our vegeta-ble garden. My children are at home with meeveryday. They are in the garden a lot of thattime.

Until recently they would happily go out-side on their own to play. But now my son

stands at the door and asks if baboons arecoming? It takes convincing to get him outthe door to play.

They often run inside thinking that theyhave heard the neighbourhood dogs barkingthe baboon warning or that they have heardthe thud of a baboon landing as it jumps overour wall. Before having baboons in ourhouse I thought that I accepted their need forprotection from humans.

We’ve had help from the baboon monitorson most of the occasions which the baboonshave been here.

However, it’s too late when they’re alreadyinside with your kids and you’re stuck out-side, or when you’re stuck in a room withfour children shouting out the window forhelp. A huge thank you to the lady drivingby who heard my shouts for help. I know thatI could have just waited for the baboons tofinish their foraging in my kitchen and theyprobably would have left without harminganyone, if we had stayed out of their way.

I know that the baboon monitors are moni-toring the baboons’ activities.

I’ve done my best to follow the advice readin all the articles teaching our communityhow to live with the baboons.

But when it comes to my children’s safetyand the safety of our friend’s children whenthey are visiting us, my natural instinct toprotect my young kicks in.

I’m beginning to wonder who has morerights here? I no longer feel that the baboonsneed our protection – it is me and my familyand the people living in our community whoneed it.

They may be docile creatures who are in-stinctively looking for food, but I am nowwondering what happens when my territoryis invaded?

What happens if my children are threat-ened because they have food in their handor are standing between the baboon and thefood? Will they remember not to fight backin defence of their food?

When your adrenalin is pumping, it’s fightor flight. Today I fled because I could.

I pray it never results in fight because un-fortunately I don’t think I or my children willwin.NIKKI OLIVIERCapri

Be a man and confess your actionsI would like to say a big thank you to thethoughtful person(s) driving a white 4x4,parked outside Dr Welgemoed’s dental sur-gery on Wednesday 23 November at 15:15.

My small white Ford bakkie (only 2 yearsold) was parked next to yours, but it now hasa big dent and some of your paint on the driv-er’s door and handle.

How can you drive off and not leave a noteowning up to it? I could easily find out who

you are (by the appointments register), buthope you have the decency to contact me andoffer to pay for it without my having to dothat. Who am I kidding?

If you have a conscience, contact PeoplesPost for my contact number. Is it really theseason of peace and good cheer? May God for-give you, I certainly don’t.HAZELSun Valley

The Phantom strikes againThe Phantom strikes againTAMMY PETERSEN

AS a child he dreamt of becom-ing a lawyer, but today the spot-light marks his place in theworld – and it is not a courtroom. Kurt Haupt of Ronde-bosch has 10 years of acting ex-perience under his belt andplans to stay at centre stage foryears to come.

The 35-year-old can be seen inBroadway’s longest running musi-cal, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s ThePhantom of the Opera, which openedat the Artscape last Tuesday.

The story tells of a disfiguredmusical genius, known only asThe Phantom, who haunts thedepths of the Paris Opera House.Mesmerised by the talents andbeauty of a young soprano, Chris-tine, the Phantom makes her hisprotégé and falls fiercely in lovewith her.

Unaware of Christine’s love forRaoul, The Phantom’s obsessionsets the scene for a dramatic turn

of events where jealousy, madnessand passion collide.

Haupt plays Monsieur Reyer,the Opera’s chief répétiteur, or di-rector, whom he describes asbossy, single-minded and “justlike me.”

He trained at the University ofCape Town and stumbled onto thestage by chance.

“After my initial dream of be-coming a lawyer, I decided on mu-sic,” he says. “I taught myself toplay the piano, an instrumentabout which I am extremely pas-sionate.”

Then the acting bug bit. Hauptcompleted art studies and steppedout from behind the curtain.

“My first role was as Tony inWest Side Story and I enjoyed everyminute of it. But I also had my fairshare of roles as a tree in the back-ground.”

Since then, Kurt has appearedon stage in London and Singaporein Carmen, Chicago and the RockyHorror Picture Show.

But the thespian is in his ele-

ment in the current production,describing the experience as “ex-hilarating and lekker.”

“The opening night didn’t go asplanned as the paint on the scen-ery hadn’t dried by the time wehad to start. Wet paint would havedamaged costumes, among otherthings.However, the showmust goon and we gave a ‘concert version’and all was well again,” he says,adding that night two went “muchbetter.”

“This is an extravaganza thatshouldn’t be missed. I hope that asmany people as possible get to seeit.”

It is an artistic feast of jaw-drop-ping scenery, exquisite costumesand breathtaking special effects.

The season ends on 15 January2012. Tickets cost from R125 viaComputicket or (021) 421 7695.

Slave bell to ringout Garden hoursTHE Company’s Garden in Queen Victo-ria Street will remain open until 20:30 eve-ry day from the beginning of the schoolholidays on Saturday 10 December untilWednesday 29 February 2012.

This will allow residents and visitors achance to enjoy the long summer days inthis beautiful and tranquil setting withinthe CBD.

“The Garden is an ideal setting for awalk or a relaxing picnic on the lawns inthe cool evening air,” says the City’s May-oral Committee Member for CommunityServices, Councillor Tandeka Gqada.

The tradition of ringing the memorial‘slave bell’ to signal the Garden’s closingtime will also be revived.

The bell, which stands near the aviaryin the Company’s Garden, is in fact the oldTown Hall bell that was rung in the eventof a fire.

It dates back to 1855.In the late 1920s it was moved to the

Company’s Garden and hung on a belltower modelled after the tower in thegroundsof Stellenbosch’sElsenburgAgri-cultural College.

This ‘slave bell’ will ring out the extend-ed opening hours during the Festive Sea-

son.The Company’s Garden restaurant

will also stay open later from Saturday10 December to Sunday 15 January 2012and musicians will provide light enter-tainment in the evenings during thisperiod.

Renowned violin teacher, Maria Botha,will kick off the musical entertainmentschedule with a bang on Sunday 11 De-cember.

Botha runs a violin teaching projectwith the Cape Philharmonic Orchestraand will bring her group of students fromNyanga, Gugulethu and Cape Town toplay an informal session near the restau-rant at 17:00.

The students will be conducted by vio-lin teachers from France and Canada,who are in Cape Town for a violin work-shop.

Safety in the Company’s Garden is as-sured by the 24-hour private security per-sonnel who patrol the area, as well asCCTV cameras positioned in strategic lo-cations.

City Law Enforcement Officers will al-so be at hand to conduct regular patrolsuntil 20:00.

MyCiTi introduces newsmartcard fare systemCOMMUTING has just been made easi-er with the introduction of the mycon-nect smartcard for the MyCiTi publictransport system. Paper tickets willcontinue to be sold for two months tocreate an overlap period during thetransition phase from a paper-basedsystem to a smartcard system.

As the myconnect card is rolled out overthe next year, customers will benefit froma range of “transit products” that makeprovision for monthly and weekly users,as well as discounts for specific users suchas learners and pensioners.

Myconnect cards are available at the Ta-ble View and Civic Centre station kiosks.

The process of converting MyCiTi froma cash and paper-based system to an elec-tronic, cashless fare system will be com-pleted by the end of January 2012.

Loading value on your myconnect cardis as easy as topping up your cellphone air-

time or pre-paid electricity.Passengers can participate in a trial pe-

riod for the myconnect card till Friday 9December.

It would be advisable to get a myconnectcard before the paper tickets are complete-ly phased out, to avoid queues. When theswitchover from paper tickets happensyou’ll have an easier ride, when all passen-gers on a MyCiTi bus will have to have amyconnect card.

There is a issuing fee of R20 for eachcard.

The myconnect card is a bank card is-sued by ABSA and bank fees will becharged.

However, there are no additional feecharged when the card is used to pay forfares on the MyCiTi system.

For more information about MyCiTiservices, see www.capetown.gov.za/myci-ti or call the Transport Information Centreon 0800 65 64 63.

Change the world,one tin at a timeTAMMY PETERSEN

DO YOU have canned goods stackedin the back of your cupboards be-

cause the children don’t like what’s in-side? Or did you buy more groceriesthan you needed? Donate it to a worthycause – there are people in your com-munity who need it.

Living Hope, in conjunction with Peo-ple’s Post and Fruit and Veg City, will bespreading the cheer with hampers of hopeto disadvantaged communities and theyneed your help to make it a success.

By donating dry food items or cannedgoods, you can spread the Christmascheer to those who are facing trying times.

Living Hope has been offering help forthe past 10 years. The organisation con-sists of four ministries – Living Grace,Living Right, Living Way and Living Care– each performing a vital role in the uplift-ment of communities in Ocean View,Masiphumelele, Fish Hoek, Red Hill andCapricorn.

Living Grace is a ministry in Muizen-berg, which acts as a safe haven for thehomeless. It is not a shelter, as such, buta place where the needy can store their be-longings in a locker, eat a breakfast andlunch, or just take a quick shower. There

is also a Substance Abuse Recovery Pro-gramme, which gives people a hand-up(onto their feet) instead of a hand-out. Liv-ing Right is divided into three sections.The first consists of health counsellorswho come from the community they workin. They help with health-related inquir-ies and also educate people on chronic dis-eases and the importance of knowing theirHIV status. The second section consists ofsupport group facilitators, who meet peo-ple on a weekly basis and help them workthrough their life issues. The third sectioncomprises life skills educators, who teachchildren from a young age. The LivingRightministry is, in essence, all about pre-vention.

Water disruption for Kalk BayTHE City of Cape Town’s Water and Sanita-tion Department will be completing a link be-tween the upgraded 300mm diameter watersupply line in Main Road, Kalk Bay to the ex-isting water reticulation network on Thurs-day 1 December.

This involves shutting off the 315mm diam-eter main water supply line to the area. Thework involves four connections between thenew and existing infrastructure in this vicini-ty. This will result in the disruption of the wa-ter supply from 08:30 until 17:00 to the areafrom Rosmead Road, Kalk Bay, right throughto, and including, Clovelly (between MainRoad and Boyes Drive).

The areas affected by this shutdown are Ka-lk Bay and Clovelly.

Residents are requested to store sufficientwater in clean, sealed containers for domesticconsumption to minimise the inconvenience.

A water tanker will be placed on standby

at the car park near the intersection of Clair-vaux Road (Boyes Drive) and the Main Road,should residents require any water for domes-tic consumption.

This section of pipeline forms part of Phase2 of the Main Road rehabilitation project inprogress between Muizenberg and Clovelly.

This project is part of the City’s pipeline re-placement programme to timeously replaceaging or deteriorating infrastructure to en-sure that drinking water of a high quality isprovided to citizens. Residents must also en-sure that their taps are closed whilst the workis in progress, to avoid the possibility of waterloss or damage being incurred if the watersupply and pressure is restored when nobodyis at home. The City wishes to apologise forany inconvenience. It is imperative that wemaintain our water supply infrastructure toensure the continued supply of quality drink-ing water to our citizens.

THE inaugural Kommetjie Festival, fea-turing a Kreef Derby, braaivleis, potjie com-petitions, a beauty pageant, stalls, topclass bands and, naturally, a surfing com-petition, was held in absolutely perfectweather last weekend.

QAll proceedswere donated to the Kommetjie PrimarySchool swimming pool fund and variousclean-up projects in the village.

The Grom and Adult ‘expression sessions’were won by Dillon Fernandez (Muizenberg)and Mikey February (Kommetjie) respective-ly. The top prize, of a Quiksilver wetsuit,went to local cartoonist and illustrator ChipSnaddon. His ‘Bluebottle’ outfit was adjudgedthe ‘Best Dressed / Most Ridiculous’ costume.

Micah Burger and Ingo Brown teamed upto win a custom-built Jerm surfboard fromthe Kommetjie Surf Shop for the most ‘Origi-

nal Craft’ with their aptly named ‘RocketShip’ while Michael Grendon stunned thecrowds by riding a wave on a stepladderperched on top of his surfboard to claim the‘Most Entertaining Wave Ridden.’

A great time was had by all as the daytimeactivities ended and the bands took over atthe Fisherman’s and the Helmsman.
