Water meter woesCHEVON BOOYSEN

@ChevonBooysen

ALotusRiver resident found theirwatermeter had been changed – withouttheir permission – after it was cut off

for an entire day.And despite having his water supply re-

connected, Wesley Manuel says he is nothappy with the outcome of his complaint tothe City of Cape Town.“On Thursday 31 March our water supply

was off for the entire day.Whenwe got homefrom work we assumed it was the entirestreet that was affected and left it at first.”

He then enquired from his neighbours iftheir water supply was cut off as well, butwhen it was confirmed that their water sup-ply was not affected, Manuel became suspi-cious. “My wife then phoned the call centrenumber and waited for about 45 minutes be-fore someone picked up. The gentleman thatspoke to her was not very helpful and beingfrustrated herself an altercation started onthe telephone,” Manuel explains.Manuel says his wife was not able to get

the consultant’s name before the consultanthung up the phone. “She phoned again andthis timewaited 22minutes (before someoneanswered). I took the handset over and dis-

covered that theCityhad swoppedourmeterreader with a newwater meter, without anyconsultation with us,” Manuel says.He asked for this to be reversed, but was

told he would have to complete “certainforms”. These were never named andManu-el is yet to receive an answer regarding theforms to have the action reversed.He adds the consultant explained to him

that the only time a water meter would bereplaced was if it was faulty, if the ownerwas in arrears, at the customer’s requestand if the device was old.“Our water meter was never faulty, we

were not in arrears, and we never asked for

a new device. Thewatermeter they replacedwas also not faulty because it was fitted lessthan a year ago,” Manuel says.Maycomember for utility services, Ernest

Sonnenberg, says the City has made contactwith Manuel.“The City has made contact with the com-

plainant and we are working together to re-solve this enquiry. The roll-out of watermanagement devices (WMDs), which allowwaterflow to the property to be managedbased on what the customer can afford,forms part of the City’s strategy to securewater resources for the City.”V Continued on page 2

Partners weavingfor a better futureNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

The Cape Town Society for the Blind (CTSB)is joining forces with local government toinvigorate the niche skills of cane and mate-rial weavers.

The joint initiative by the CTSB and theCity of Cape Town to introduce an incentivescheme for blind cane and other materialweavers has seen a dramatic increase inproductivity.

This is set to benefit the weavers and sat-isfy local retailers and the tourist clientele,says Melanie Daniels, fund-raising profes-sional of the CTSB.

“The City has partnered with CTSB aspart of an Expanded Public Works Pro-gramme (EPWP) investing in enterprise de-velopment for the next three months,” saysDaniels

There are 50 cane and other materialweavers employed at the CTSB premises inSalt River.

“It is a superb scheme which acts as anincentive to increase productivity, and wehave already seen a 30% upswing,” says Liz-elle van Wyk, chief executive officer of theCTSB.

“The cane and other material weaving isproduced by visually impaired craftsmenand have gained international recognitionfor the past 86 years. They are available atlocal retailer outlets and also at the organicfood market in the Victoria and Alfred Wa-terfront. The finished products of the smallbusiness units are marketed by CTSB andsold to the public, and immediately theyreap the benefit.

The weaving project was chosen to suita number of blind and visually impaired in-dividuals who operate their small business-es from CTSB premises, Daniels says.

“We provide them with the infrastructureand the raw materials. Each team memberhas between five and 10 years experience inweaving, which lends expert support to therespective projects. CTSB prides itself onthe fact that our weavers are specialists intheir respective fields,” says Daniels.

A weaver’s nest in the Company’s Gardenconstructed by the CTSB entrepreneurs hasalso caught the eye at the Chelsea flowershow, she says.

“We have many projects. One that standsout is the nests that we produce regularly.These nests can be seen in the CompanyGardens and various restaurants. PorkyHeffer is a designer and specifically con-tracted CTSB to produce this special prod-uct based on our expertise and attention todetail.”

CTSB also runs a project that concen-trates on other material weaving, Danielssays.

“These amazing professionals work onmaterial weaving looms and every one ofour items are designed and handmade local-ly. All our products are available in ourshowroom at CTSB premises in Salt River,”Daniels says.

“The project has improved the livelihoodof each small business unit while at thesame time inspiring and encouraging them.

“Their passion and interest has onceagain been revived. At CTSB we are in fullsupport of the EPWP project. Everyonereaps the benefits – once again underliningthe fact that when one gives, more is re-ceived. We hope that the City will continueto fund this project for as long as possible,keeping our people in a better financial po-sition and also encouraging them to contin-ue with their passion,” she says.V Visit www.ctsb.co.za or call 021 448 4302 for moreinformation.

A partnership between the City of Cape Town and the Cape Town Society for the Blind is setto improve the lives of the 50 cane and other material weavers employed at the CTSBpremises in Salt River.

FROM PAGE 1The City is currently “replacing water me-ters that have reached the end of their lifes-pan, and are hence likely to malfunction,with WMDs”, Sonneberg says. “All new wa-ter meters installed throughout the city willbe water management devices. In terms ofapplicable legislation the City is not re-quired to obtain consent from residentswhen accessing or performing works on ourinfrastructure (the water meter).”

Manuel confirms the City contacted himto discuss the issue.

“They told me that they are doing a roll-out for the whole area but only targeted myhome. I understand that they can replacetheir meters, however, it was an inconven-ience to me and they should have consultedwith me prior to replacing the unit,” Manu-el says

Sonnenberg confirms Manuel’s water me-ter was replaced a few years ago with a con-ventional water meter.

“This meter, however, seized (was not re-cording water use) and had to be replaced.In line with the City’s policy to install onlyWMDs, an Aqualoc meter was fitted,” hesays.

“Upon inspection of the property it wasfound that the meter, which is situated out-side the property, had been disturbed, trig-gering an anti-tampering measure whichautomatically restricts water to the premis-es. It could have been a child or a prospec-tive metal thief who did this,” Sonnenbergexplains.

He says the anti-tamper device has nowbeen reset and water supply restored to theproperty.

A59-year-oldwomanwas arrested onFriday29 April after she was nabbed with drugs inParkwood.Grassy Park police spokespersonWarrantOfficer Wynita Kleinsmith says the womanwas arrested at about 12:30 in Viljoen Walkafter police followed up on a tip-off.“When police arrived at the woman’shome she warned her son, who is also want-ed, that the police were in front. She shoutedfor her son to run,” Kleinsmith says.The suspectmanaged to get away as policetried to enter the gate, Kleinsmith confirms.“The mother of the fugitive was subse-quently arrested after 61 packets of highgrade dagga were found.”Station commander Colonel Shawn vanWyk hasmade an urgent appeal to residentsto continue supporting crime prevention in

the precinct. “The community needs to un-derstand they have an important role to playin stabilising crime-ravaged communities.It requires being strong and not hiding per-petrators of crime. You could be arrested forabetting of a suspect involved in crimes.”He says by doing this perpetrators andtheir accomplices do not have the interestor the well-being of their community atheart. “I want to appeal to the communitynot to hide criminals – especially those in-volved in drug trafficking. The efforts to ridour community are weakened when moth-ers of these perpetrators assist them to getaway when raids are done,” Van Wyk says.The woman appeared in the WynbergMagistrate’s Court on charges of dealing in,alternatively possession of, drugs on Tues-day 3 May.

Williams flies SAflag in MalaysiaQari Gaarieth Williams has flown the flagfor South Africa at the International Al-Quran Recital and Memorising Assem-

bly in Kuala Lumpur last week.For more than a half century, Malaysiahas been the host of the world’s oldest AlQuran recital assembly.The 2016 event wel-comed the 58th edition ofthe mega event, whichgathers internationally re-nowned reciters to KualaLumpur every year.Williams has won theSouth African NationalQirah competition in both2005 and 2008, and has alsoparticipated in interna-tional Quran competitionsin both Iran and Egypt.“All praise is due to Al-lah, my parents, my teach-ers and my family whosupports me in all my en-deavours. I am honouredand excited to participatein this illustrious eventwhich is the oldest and big-gest event of its kind in theworld,” says Williams.A prerequisite for this particular Malay-sian competition is to apply the Quran me-lodies known as maqamaat in a 10-minute,slow-paced, rhythmic andmelodious recital.All rules of tajweed must be adhered to andjudges also look at where the reciter stopsand continueswithin verses, so as to not dis-tort itsmeaning. TheQuran portion to be re-

cited is given to the reciter on the same daythat he/she is due to recite it in public. Prep-aration time therefore is minimal. “Thecountries who have consistently won thiscompetition over the years since its incep-tion are Malaysia, Indonesia, Egypt andIran. I humbly request dua from all, that Al-

lah grants me the strengthto represent our country tothe best of my ability, In-sha Allah,” addsWilliams.Williams started recit-ing the Quran at a veryyoung age; having as hisfirstQuran teacher SheikhGanief Moos of Wynberg.He later graduated fromDarul Uloom Zakariya inJohannesburg where hecompleted his hifth underHafithFarooqMansoorSa-hib who currently headsup the Hifth School at Da-rul Uloom Zakariya.At the age of 16, shortlyafter his return from Jo-hannesburg, young Willi-ams’ father, NaseemWilli-ams, his role model, died

due to sudden illness.Williams’ mother, who was very dear tohis heart and alwaysmotivated him to learnQuran, passed away in 2013. He taught hifthand led Taraweeh prayers for a number ofyears at Surrey EstateMasjid under the gui-dance of Sheikh Irfaan Abrahams. Thereaft-er he studied tajweed andmastered themaq-amaat guided by Sheikh Ismail Londt.

A 12 hour dance marathon all the nameof raising awareness for cancer.

And in just three months of fundraisingfor their social outreach project (SunflowerFund) and their school Legacy Project, theGroenvlei High matriculants managed toraise R30 000, putting them in full reach oftheir target to raise R40 000 by October laterthis year.

The 12 hour danceathon was hosted at theschool hall on Friday evening.

The initiative to raise awareness startedat the school three years ago where theGrade 12 class each year hosts fundraisingevents and initiatives to hand over to theadopted cause and for them to raise money

for their school Legacy Project.Chantel Dennis, head girl at Groenvlei

High says the third instalment of this fun-draising initiative had them all excited.“We expected about 500 people to attend thedance marathon and so far about 400 havealready gone through the door. We are confi-dent the event will be a success,” Dennis saidon the night.

Ijaaz Stellenboom, head boy, says theyhave been receiving great support fromtheir educators as well.

“They have been at all our meetings forpreparations and they all came out tonightto help at the dance marathon. They havebeen amazing,” Stellenboom says.

“At the end of the day, we’re helping bene-ficiaries to get onto the Sunflower Fund do-nor registry. Our fundraising initiative for

both projects included selling tickets forthe danceathon at R40 a ticket. Advertisingwas done by word of mouth and through theschool. We started selling our tickets abouttwo weeks ago. All proceeds will be split be-tween the school Legacy Project and theSunflower Fund,” Stellenboom explains.

Grade 12 pupil serving on the planningcommittee for the initiative, Ganiefa Jones,says they are proud to be a part of such aninitiative.

“The danceathon is to raise money forpeople suffering from Leukaemia and wewant people to join the donor registry. Itcosts R2000 to get on to the register so wewant to essentially help people who cannotfund themselves to get onto the register. Weare funding two projects. Our other is theschool Legacy Project,” she says.

Jones says this years matriculants haveoutdone themselves.

“Not to brag, but this is the best one sofar. We have done so well with raising themost money so far and arranging this in theleast amount of time.

“What makes this year’s matriculants soamazing is that this year, it took us threemonths to raise R21 000 and the previousyear it took the matriculants a year to raiseR19 000. Determination is our secret thisyear,” she says.

The proud and determined matriculantssays their slogan this year is Team: Togeth-er Everyone Achieves More.

“The initial initiative started during 2014and they challenged the 2015 matriculantsto beat them. And we have then been chal-lenged by the 2015 matriculants who told usto beat them. But, we didn’t come in withthe mindset to beat the previous year’s ma-triculants. We came in with the mindsetthat we have to beat ourselves and I thinkwe have done exactly that,” Jones beams.

Another matriculant Kelly Oliver saysthe experience has geared them up for theirfuture.

“Essentially we are ploughing back intoour community. We need to learn responsi-bility and need to learn how to work togeth-er especially for a good cause and these pro-jects are doing just that. It’s a huge bonusfor us to learn these skills before we actual-ly leave school. We know we have contrib-uted towards the upliftment of our schooland to raise awareness for cancer pa-tients,” Oliver says.

Grade head, Godfrey Hendricks, says allthe money raised will be used towards thematrics Outreach Project and their LegacyProject.

“The money will be divided between thetwo beneficiaries. The Sunflower Fund isthe Outreach beneficiary and the school isthe Legacy Project beneficiary. The mat-rics decide how the money for the Legacyproject should be used by the school. Thepurpose for this is for them to make posi-tive and tangible contribution to the im-provement of the school for learners to ben-efit,” Hendricks says.

He adds the pupils will continue raisingfund until they reach their target.

“Once they reach their target, the matric-ulants will decide if they will terminate orcontinue fundraising efforts. A handover tothe Sunflower Fund should take place inOctober, however, it appears as though thetarget will be reached long before then.”

City stumped bydriver behaviourA drunk driver with nine passengers in

his vehicle was among scores of sus-pects arrested this past weekend.The culpritwas one of 48motorists arrest-

ed for reckless and negligent driving anddriving under the influence of alcohol dur-ing weekend operations.Maycomember for safetyandsecurity, JP

Smith, says on Friday 6 May, an officer at-tached to the Ghost Squad chased down aVW Citi Golf and eventually got the driverto pull over along old Strandfontein Roadnear Pelican Park.“The officer was shocked to find 10 people

squeezed into the vehicle. When the driv-er’s blood alcohol level was taken, he wasfound to be four times over the legal limit.This is the type of idiotic behaviour that ourofficers have to deal with on an all too regu-lar basis. What’s even more astounding ishow the nine passengers in the car allowedthemselves to be in this situation at all. It’sapity the lawdoesn’t allowus toarrest themfor being party to a clearly drunkdriver get-ting behind the wheel,” Smith reprimands.In another incident, a motorist was

clocked travelling at 208 km/h in a 100km/hzone on the M5 between Racecourse Roadand Wetton Road.A Ghost Squad officer who was posted

with the Speed Team gave chase and pulledthe driver over in Ottery. He was arrestedfor reckless and negligent driving.City traffic officers arrested a further 30

motorists for driving under the influence ofalcohol and one for resisting arrest.“In a sedan taxi operation in the Cape

Town CBD, officers impounded 27 vehiclesand issued 253 fines for various offences.TheLawEnforcementDepartment’sLiquor

Enforcement Unit meanwhile closed downfive premises in Maitland and the CapeTown CBD during integrated operationswith the police,” Smith says.The special operation was the result of

non-compliance by the owners of the estab-lishments with the City’s by-laws and con-ditions of the Liquor Act. Officers issuedspot fines totalling R40 800 for by-law con-traventions.In addition, three suspects were arrested

@gvdcapejazz

When 7-year-old Tyrone Siljeur fromBonteheuwel got a crayon stuck in his

ear earlier thismonth, his parentswent intoa bit of a panic, but help was at hand.They took him to a private doctor, but

therewas still a small piece lodged in his earso he was referred to Red Cross Children’sHospital.Thanks to some generous sponsorship

from Woolworths and MySchool, Tyronewill undergoa small procedureunderanaes-thetic to have the crayon removed.If youwere part of theMySchool initiative

with your Christmas shopping last year,then you played your part in the donationof R400 000 that was handed to Children’sHospital Trust, the fund-raising arm of RedCross, last week.The donation has been used by the trust

to purchase specialist ear, nose and throat(ENT) equipment that will enable the hospi-tal each year to help save the lives of chil-dren with life-threatening ear disease andprevent hearing loss in 750 children.Tyrone’s mom, Marlene, and dad, Mor-

nay, were very happy that their son was fi-

nally going to have a clear ear canal onceagain.“We are so grateful to the Red Cross Chil-

dren’s Hospital, MySchool and Woolworthsfor the equipment that allows for these typesof operations,” said Mornay.“I don’t know what we would have done

otherwise and I know that Tyrone is in verygood hands.When Iwas young I came toRedCross and I know how excellent the staffare.”The Woolworths Christmas Giving cam-

paignwas supported by internationalmusicsensation PharrelWilliams, and funds wereraised as a special additional donation ev-ery time a customer swipes their MySchoolMyVillage MyPlanet and their linked Wool-worths cards.“Woolworths and MySchool are such val-

ued supporters of the Children’s HospitalTrust and the Red Cross Children’s Hospi-tal,” says Louise Driver, CEO of the Chil-dren’s Hospital Trust,“As benefactors of their annual Christ-

mas Campaign, the trust has have been ableto purchase much-needed ENT equipmentto perform life-changing operations and in-terventions on children who suffer from se-vere ear disease.”

The power to protect your streetsNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Ryan Morris’ ringing phone in-terrupts his meeting, but even

before he answers, he knows it’ssomeone phoning to report a suspi-cious person or activity.Its par for the course as last

year’s volunteer Auxiliary LawEnforcement officer of the year.Morris, a member of TBKWatch

in Tamboerskloof, joined the re-servist team that supplements theCity of Cape Town’s law enforce-ment officers in 2013.The City of Cape Town’s Auxilia-

ry Law Enforcement Service, afirst in South Africa, allows formembers of the public to registeras volunteers to perform and assistwith law enforcement duties. Theofficers receive trainingat theMet-ro Police College in the CriminalProcedure Act and other compo-nents applicable to their duties.The Auxiliary Law Enforcement

officers deal with a range of inci-dents, Morris says, tackling every-thing from vagrancy, theft, carbreak-ins and responding to callsfrom the neighbourhood watchand police.They have the power to arrest, to

carry out stop and searches, aswellas confiscate stolen goods or goodsbeing traded without a permit.Although the main focus is on

enforcing bylaws, the officers arealso obligated to dealwith any seri-ous offence, including theft andpublic fighting.“We’ve caught someone starting

a fire on the mountain before andintervened. We’ve arrested guysfighting. I’ve come across an acci-dent where one of the drivers was

drunk and behaving riotously andarrested him for being drunk anddisorderly,” he says.Often law enforcement and so-

cial issues gohand-in-hand,Morrissays, and sometimes it is the bestoption to take a softer approach.For instance,Morris has worked

on incidents where homeless peo-ple have been assisted into sheltersand work programmes instead ofbeing arrested.“If I can justifiablyprevent anar-

rest, I will. Sometimes it’s better tobring the family in than to arrestsomeone,” he says. “There is morepleasure in helping them than inarresting them.”Morris works full-time as an in-

termediate paramedic, while com-pleting an average of 16 hours ofvolunteer Law Enforcement worka month.He always takes his medical

equipment with him on patrol, andhas provided first responder care

while waiting for an ambulance incases of stabbing and car crashes.Whenquestioned about thenum-

ber of hours he puts in between hisfull-time position and his Law En-forcement patrols, Morris shrugsit off.“I don’t like sitting around doing

nothing. I got it from my mom.She’s always been one for work-ing.”Morris’ childhood shapednot on-

ly his work ethic, but also his love

for crime fighting.“We used to belong to the ‘Cape

Town Crime Club’ – we often hadbreak-ins and crime incidents. Thepolice knew my parents by name.Because I was affected, I wanted todo something. I remember howoneday one of the cops gaveme a dock-et and told me to ‘practice on it fornow’,” he says.His ‘crime fighting career’ start-

ed when he was 13, when he wouldjoin “local security guys” on patrolon his bicycle. The neighbourhoodwatch was formed when he was 16,and at 18 he had joined as a mem-ber.“The community needs to help

the police. If you don’t reportcrimes, they won’t know aboutthem.Youmust get involved. If youdon’t want to help yourself, you re-ally can’t complain about things,”he says.As all the auxiliary officers are

members of their local neighbour-hood watches, the position allowsthem to use their policing powersto better protect their communi-ties.“The extra powers allow you to

deal with things yourself. It givesyou the ability to police your ownstreet,” he says.V Applicants who wish to join the volunteerservice must be over 18, mentally and phys-ically fit, have no criminal record and musthave a valid driver’s licence.If they comply with the above, candidatescan apply via their neighbourhood watch,who will submit applications to the City’sLaw Enforcement Department.Once applications are verified, applicantsare invited to a preliminary diagnostic as-sessment which they have to successfullycomplete in order to progress to the nextphase.

DISRUPTION OFWATER SUPPLY:OTTERY, OTTERY EAST,WETTON,FERNESS AND EDWARDWednesday 18 May 2016

The City of Cape Town’s Water and Sanitation Department will be completing a zero pressuretest on the water supply feeding the water supply zone in Ottery, Ottery East, Wetton, Fernessand Edward on Wednesday 18 May 2016.

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

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

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

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

The City regrets any inconvenience caused.

PENNED BY A JOURNO

All dressed up,nowhere to goSAMANTHA LEE

“All dressedupandnowhere to go” – a com-mon phrase that many of us may haveheard at least once or twice throughout ourlives.A phrase that got me thinking about dis-

appointment.Why? You may ask with an element of

confusion.Well it started with a few new outfits,

gorgeous shoes and two tickets to a trip an-ticipated for more than a year.You get all dressed up, you get excited

and then, boom your plans get cancelled.Then you sit: All dressed up with nowhereto go.But on that note, where did this phrase

come from and why is it so loosely used?My grandmother said something inter-

esting to me once that has stuck with meever since.She said: “Don’t wear your best clothes

in the during the week because you willnever look good when you go out.”But who do we dress for?Ourselves? Our partners? Our friends?

or for the average joe on the street?Some, like myself, dress according to

their mood.When I don’t feel like putting any effort

in a jeans or track pants work fine. Butwhen I feel like putting on a nice dress, I’m

sure people look at me and think, “Why isshe so dressed up? where is she going?”.It makes me wonder why there is an ac-

cepted notion that you are not allowed tolook good no matter the occasion.I suppose it also has to fit within dress

code confines, but even so,who set the stan-dard for what we should dress like andwhenweare allowed towearnice clothing?The same goes for the words my grand-

mother spoke. Those are ideals that havebeen imprinted in the mind-sets of genera-tions while growing up.I say it is time to change that. We should

have the freedom to dress the way we feel.As a fashion lover, I find clothing as an

expression of moods, feelings and emotionso why should you not want to use it as anoutlet to show the world who you are.Besides, dressing well makes you feel

good and gives you confidence.So who are these people that don’t want

us to be the best versions of ourselves.For whatever reason you are dressed up

ladies and gents, rock your look. Even ifyou have nowhere to go.But if you are home and all dressed up,

getup,make someplansandshowthat lookoff.If not and you just want to look good in

front of the TV, no judgement.But remember, good clothing and good

style is made to be admired.

‘We partied ’til midnight’Oh behalf of my mother and myself, Iwould like to thank People’s Post for themost amazing Mother’s Day concert atGrand West on Saturday night.I treated my mom to the concert and

we expected to be there for about twohours max. Well, that hall reverberatedfor four hours, it bounced, it rocked, itraised the roof, all while sitting in yourseat – we were in constant rockingmotion, our seats were moving all thetime.My mom is 84-years-old and we partied

’til midnight and so enjoyed the People’sPost concert. The whole night my momjust beamed, laughed with joy, clappedher hands, tapped her feet. What afantastic concert, what a responsiveaudience, what talented and beautifulSouth African women we listened to, andto top it all, the most incredible band –what a super-duper night it was. Thankyou for making our Mother’s Day outing/night so special.

Think out of the box to beat offencesWith reference to Keith Blake’s letter ondriver responsibility (“Driver responsi-bility”, People’s Post, 3 May) I would say:that is such old hat, nobody evenconsiders it. Otherwise we would nothave the chaos on the roads.Perhaps Mr Blake can start some

out-of-the-box thinking again and supportme in getting:1) the courts and insurance companies

to insist that after an accident even the“innocent” driver, has to do an advanceddriver’s course, at their own expense;2) all taxi and lorry/bakkie drivers

pass a driving test annually before theirlicence is renewed. Should they fail thistest no further licence is issued.’nThis can be coupled at the yearly

licence fee.3) A special court for traffic offences

such as parking, wrongful overtaking,speeding and all other ‘simple’ trafficoffences be arranged for every 15 000cars registered be instituted wherestudents-in-law must do a two-yearpractice. The fines they collect mostprobably will cover the cost of such acourt. This court must sit every day,even at week-ends, so that those visitingover the holiday time can pay their finesat once. There must be enough retiredtraffic officers with plenty of yearsexperience and an additional studycourse, to fill such positions.Come Mr Blake, I am sure you will

have more ideas so that in future youwill say “my letter in the People’s Post of3 May should have said that”.

Embracing newmothers, babiesNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

For many, Mother’s Day is a time for fami-ly and sharing.However, for some mothers in wards in

state hospitals and Midwife Obstetric Unitsacross Cape Town, it’s a day of loneliness.This year, Cape Town Embrace spent the

day celebrating and supporting new moth-ers, to ensure their babies have the best fu-ture possible.Aimed at achieving solidarity rather than

charity, the movement looks to spark hu-man connections across societal divideswithin the city and support vulnerable chil-dren into the first 1000 days – their most sig-nificant developmental period, explainsproject leader Julie Mentor.“For many women, giving birth and stay-

ing in hospital is a lonely time.“They are often away from their loved

ones and circles of support when the physi-cal and emotional nature of childbirth re-quires the love, care and support of familyand friends,” says Mentor.By connecting the parents and caregivers

of children in vulnerable contexts with fel-low citizens, Cape Town Embrace strives toempower both parties to maximise thechild’s development and potential together.The movement, started in December 2013,

believes that the first 1000 days of a child’slife (from conception to two) are the mostpowerful if you want to prime a child for abright future.Around 80% of the human brain is devel-

oped by age two – it’s a critical time to nur-ture the potential of children, Mentor says.“Cape Town Embrace emerged following

information thatwas released anddescribedwhat was happening to the babies born in

Cape Town,” she says.“The situation is quite devastating. Of the

approximately 75 000 babies born in CapeTown each year, about 2000 die before theyturn one; 12 000 will be permanently stunteddue to poor nutrition before they turn twoand about half of these childrenwon’t accessany formal ECD services or go on to finishschool.”The movement uses the work of AnnMas-

ten, a pioneering researcher in the predic-tors of resilience in young people exposed topoverty, homelessness and other adversi-ties.Mastenhas identified threekeypredictors

including: caring parents, another caringadult and connections to opportunities atcritical times during the child’s life.This trifecta has been coined “Ordinary

Magic” and can significantly reduce childvulnerability.“Our children are suffering because there

is not enough support. The answer will nev-er lay solely with the government or any or-ganisation. It needs to be a shift made by or-dinary citizens.“We need to show solidarity and empathy.

We believe that many of our city’s problemsare human-made and it will take caring hu-mans to fix them, one relationship at atime,” she says.Many new moms travel alone to hospital,

where they give birth and return homeagain with their babies, alone, explainsMentor.Research has shown that women who are

isolated during pregnancy, birth and in thepost-partumperiod are at a higher risk of de-veloping depression and other mentalhealth disorders, she adds.V For more information visit the Cape Town Embracewebsite at www.embrace.org.za.

Sleeping bags forhomeless big newsNICOLE MCCAIN

The Cape TownLions Club is taking a dif-ferent approach to keeping street peoplewarm this winter.A service organisation, aimed at serv-

ing the youth and assisting the aged, thedisabled and the disadvantaged, hasaround 46 000 clubs and 1.35millionmem-bers around the world.The Cape Town members, along with

their sister club Groote Schuur, has beenmaking sleeping bags that were createdfrom recycled newspapers and polythenebags.The sleeping bags will be distributed to

the homeless in Cape Town in a jointproject with the Lions Club of GrooteSchuur.“This project was brought to us by the

Lions Club of Groote Schuur – as with allLion’s Clubs we are community mindedand strive to improve the lives of the un-derprivileged. Bagswill be donated to theHaven night shelter in Kensington tohand out to those who cannot be accom-modated at the premises,” says CapeTown Lion President Janine Filmer.“The bags are extremely warm. They

are also big enough to hold personal be-longings so that they do not get wet. Also,due to the design, the bags can be foldedup into a manageable size.”They are made by taping piles of folded

newspaper to each side of a large polythe-ne bag. This bag is then inserted into an-other identical bag and the top is sealed.Each sleeping bag takes approximately 20minutes to make, excluding the time ittakes to fold the newspaper, and is madeby Lions Clubmembers in the Cape Town

area.“The Lions make the bags themselves.

Each bag has a label attached to it withthe names of those who constructed it,”explains Filmer.Lions members have been collecting

the newspaper material over a period oftime; the polythene bags are donated.“In view of the fact that there are many

homeless people on the streets of CapeTown, a sleeping bag not only provideswarmth but, due to it being waterproof,will keep them dry as well,” she says.V For more information, contact the Cape TownLions Club at 021 686 4249

M’ Plain movie a story of hopeSAMANTHA LEE

@Samantha_lee121

A film made on the streets of Mitchell’sPlain will soon be released.Mitchell’s Plain – The Movie is in the fi-

nal stages of production and is set to tella story of hope and be an accurate portray-al of the day-to-day lives of those who livein the area.

Robin Van Der Byl, the script writer andproducer of the film, says it took a littlemore than a year to put the movie together.

“I wanted to portray the positives ofMitchell’s Plain without denying the badside. You do see it in the film but the moviehighlights the unsung heros,” says Van derByl.

Several characters also commented ontheir favourite sections in the movie.

Across the board none of them have hadany acting experience before the movie.

Sergio Muller says he enjoyed workingon the movie and could relate to the charac-ter he played.

“It is important for everyone to see thismovie because many people can relate toit. There is a lot of good in Mitchell’s Plainand this can help change people’s percep-tions,” says Muller.

Alfred Albertus agrees, saying his char-acter taught him life lessons that he can ap-ply to his daily life.

“I took a while to respond to the offer toget involved but it turned out well in theend. I can relate because, as a father andhusband, I learnt what to do and what notto do,” he says.

Abasia Khan, Renaldo Tarentaal, KyleApolis, Damian Kolby, Yolande Carelse,Robert Jnr Carelse, Olge Kolby-Van Wyk,Sharon January and Bianca Makatees are

some of the other main characters whohelped bring the film to life.

Van der Byl says there were more than100 people working on the film as actorsand extras.

Several setbacks also caused delays infilming but, with the new director AndrewBennett on board, the film was quicklyback on track.

Now with the launch a few days away thecast and crew reflect on the journey.

“We are a family now,” Khan says.

“It was challenging at first but we got toknow eachother and that made it easier forus to learn lines.”

Van der Byl says they would also like toassist the Eastridge Baptist Church whichburnt down earlier this year.

A few scenes of the movie were shot atthe church ahead of the fire, he says.

The movie was produced on no budgetand everything needed was paid for out ofpocket, explains Van der Byl.

The movie will be launched on Saturday

14 May at the City of Grace Living WatersAuditorium in Belhar.

Tickets for the premier can be purchasedvia computicket at R50. Seats are limited

Van der Byl says a second screening inMitchell’s Plain is in the works at a laterstage. Dresscode for the event is smart ca-sual and all white for women and black andwhite for men.V Call Robin Van der Byl on 060 334 2627 or [email protected] or visit their facebookpage: Mitchells Plain - The Movie.

Pulling punchesFriendship, sexuality and mutual de-pendence are delicately explored inRichard Zajdlic and Richard Crowe’s“knockout hit play” A Cock and Bull****Story.

Marthinus Basson directs this excit-ing two-hander filled with male bravadoas Edwin van der Walt and Dean-JohnSmith reimagine the story in contempo-rary suburban Cape Town.

The piece follows TJ (Smith), a promis-ing young boxer on the eve of a bout thatcould make or break his career. He iswaiting for his friend Jaco (Van derWalt), who always prepares him bothmentally and physically for his fights.TJ’s confidence has waned after a humil-iating defeat against tonight’s opponent– and Jaco is late.

For TJ boxing is not just a passion, it’san escape from his lower middle-classbackground and a passport to a betterlife.

Juggling youth empowermentLOUISA STEYL

@LouNotes

“They don’t have much, but they stillhave a body that can do amazing

things.”This is one of the key lessons Hanne La

Cour says the ActionArte Foundation try toteach the children they work with.The organisation has been using circus

performance skills to help empower youngpeople, especially in the Hanover Park com-munity, since 2014 and non-circus folk willget a glimpse of their non-traditional actswhen the foundation’s core group performat Trash Cabaret’s Carnival of Dreams atHillcrest Quarry on Saturday 14 May.The foundation was started by Hanne and

MarlinRoos, a second generation circus per-former who has been training since the ageof seven.Hanne says Marlin has always been inter-

ested in learning, teaching and giving backto the community of Hanover Park throughfree classes. She, on the other hand, comesfrom a background of theatre and social pro-jects and when the two met; they decided tocombine their skills.“I was fascinated by the circus,” Hanne,

who is originally from Denmark, says, soshe started train and travelled with Marlinto Spain where they spent two years learn-ing how to use circus training as a teachingmethod.

Explore the circus worldActionArte started with free play classes

in the community centre before the duo leftfor Spain and one of their regulars kept theirproject going well they were away. Upontheir return, these classes thendeveloped in-to workshops.

Hanne highlights issues like gang vio-lence and lack of involvement from parentsand says ActionArte connects with childrenby keeping them off the streets, inspiringthem to be creative and teaching them aboutthe importance of education. By teachingchildren what their bodies are capable of,they also instil a sense of positivity andteach children that they can choose a betterlife.The foundation’s teachers use juggling,

for example, to teach children concentrationand reason.

“To keep the balls in the air you have towant it andhave to find the rhythmandcoor-dination.”They also use the juggling to teach little

ones mathematics. While they don’t go intothe full mathematical theory behind the art,they do use it to teach things like times ta-bles.Children who “can’t sit still” are encour-

aged to train in acrobatics, to use their ener-gy positively.The foundation’s core group is made up of

performers from the community who have

been trained as teachers and professionalperformers. Besides training the youth andprofessional classes for anyone interested inbecoming a circus performer or get fit, theyalso perform regularly, often at corporateevents, to keep the foundation running andexpanding.Anotherway that ActionArte raises funds

andreachesout to the community is throughtheir Sunday Funday afternoons at theirbase in Epping where families are invited toexplore their circus world.

Igniting imaginationsHanne will be one of the performers per-

forming at Trash Cabaret’s Carnival ofDreams on Saturday where she’ll be per-forming her speciality: hanging by her hair.The multi-cultural cabaret event will

bring together burlesque dancers, acrobats,jugglers, aerial artists, roaming characters,fire dancers and musicians in a festival toignite imaginations.Participating groups will include Psyche-

delic Theatre, Sky Dance Studio, Leo Letsa-pe aka Mr.Letsparty, Cami Scoundrel andBlack Orchid Burlesque who’ll be led bytheir ringmaster, Riaan Smit from CrimsonHouse against a soundtrackprovidedbyactslike Ann Jangle, Crimson House, the TrashCabaret Band and the Mzanzi Marchingband.Gates open at 16:00 and festival goers are

JOSEPH PILLAY

It has been quite a magical andheart-warming start to the sea-son for Strandfontein High with

amatch-winning performance thathad the partisan crowd on edge inthe Mr. Price Foundation HighSchools Soccer League.The growing pains of the team,

affectionately known as the “SeaRobbers”, saw them finish at thebottom of the 2015 league champi-onship.But the struggles of the past did

not impede on the progress of theStrandfontein side.The rejuvenated Strandfontein

side caused the biggest upset of theopening round by sending Cloetes-villeHigh, the defending and three-time league champions (2008, 2009and 2015) crashing to a 2-1 defeat.With an excellent opportunity to

redeem themselves under newcoach Jason Alexander, who waspart of the playing team of last sea-son’s squad, and team manager,Mano Adams, the lads in the blueand white dished up good attack-ing, scientific football thatthroughout the game pressurisedthe Stellenbosch side –much to thedelight of the very vocal and noisySea Robbers fans.However, Chris Joubert’s Cloet-

esville-side staved off early pres-sure. Scott Williams, in the no.7jersey, constantly troubled a verynervous Dean Gordon in goal.Itwas thehome side, Cloetesville

High, that minutes before half-time surged 1-0 ahead through awell execution pin-point goal, inwhich the team strung seven pass-es together, before Ian Floris land-ed it safely into the back of the net.But after the change-over the

schoolboys from StrandfonteinHigh, which still has 75% of lastseasons’ squad, started to gel andhad Cloetesville on the back foot-ball.Like a well oil machine the Sea

Robbers picked off the oppositionwith Andile Dick first scoring theequaliser (1-1). With ten minutesremaining on the clock the ever-alert and influential Scott Willi-ams unleashed a powerful snap-shoot that Dean Gordon could nothold and parried it into the back ofthe net.Floris’ match-winning goal prac-

tically sent the crowd into a joyouscelebration. Chris Joubert and hisCloetesville side will be quick toadmit they were no way near theirbest and that Alexander’s Strand-fontein side fully deserve theirmo-rale boosting 2-1 victory.Beacon Hill triumph over

Oval North

Last year’s league runners-up,Beacon Hill High, topped the logafter the opening round followingtheir 3-1 triumph against arch-ri-vals Oval North High.However, they could find the go-

ing much tougher against a stub-born and defensive RocklandsHigh side, who shared the points(1-1) with Lentegeur on Saturday.Beacon Hill was the only side to

draw home that won their gamewhile six of the other teams, whichdrew away, picked up maximumpoints.Nevertheless, Beacon Hill held a

2-1 lead at the breakwithAzola Bil-ly scoringabraceandwithCurwenBarry finding the target for OvalNorth before Keith October addedthe third for good measure to se-cure three valuable points.Mondale rise to the occasionMondale High – the 2012 and 2013

champions – showed glimpses ofthe side that wiped out all opposi-tion for two consecutive seasonsand had their long-time educatorand coach – since the introductionof the league in 2004 – Nigel Crowiesmiling from ear to ear.Though the Mondale side beat a

pluckyAloeHigh 2-0, it was a victo-ry that Riyaaz Nell must be accred-ited with since it was his two-goaltonic that led the boys in the navyblue and gold jerseys on their wayto an emphatic 2-0 win.Westridge edge out PrincetonWith the return of Ismail Gasno-

la – the coach that helped West-ridge High to win their secondleague title in 2010 after being inau-gural champs in 2004 – the schoolside in maroon and white didenough with some quality playingmethods to conquer PrincetonHigh 1-0 in a quite an evenly bal-anced encounter.Though Charles Uys’s Princeton

side, who won back-to-back leaguechampionships in 2005 and 2006,should have scored twice in thefirst half through their industriousstrikers Sayeed Mentoor and ColeHartzenberg, they always fellshort.Other results: Tafelsig High 2,

Glendale High 1; Cedar High 2,Spine Road 0; Portland High 2,Woodlands High 1; Lentegeur High1, Rocklands High 1.Upcoming fixtures to be played

Steenberg off to national playoffsA highly motivated Steenberg United

will be packing their bags for a trip tothe City of Roses to compete for promo-

tion to the National First Division (NFD).The week-long national play-offs take

place from Monday 6 to Sunday 12 June inBloemfontein.

This comes after Mike Lukukhuene’sSteenberg chargers, who seemed dead andburied after being 1-0 down, turned this ex-citing and absorbing game from the jaws ofdefeat to score twice with the decisivematch-winning goal coming in the referees’added time.

Steenberg were crowned Safa WesternCape Regional ABC Motsepe League cham-pions on thebackof this unbelievable 2-1 vic-tory against Crystal Palace at the Greens As-troturf sports complex in Manenberg on Sat-urday.

It must be acknowledged that the refereeMasixolo Bambiso from George in full viewof match commissioner and likeable WorldCup accredited FIFA referee Jerome Damonwas on the button and handled this needlein a haystack high pressure encounter bril-liantly.

The valuable three points enabled Steen-bergUnited to consolidate their top of the logposition and end the 2015/2016 season on 66points from 30 matches – one point ahead ofdefending champions Glendene United.

Last season Glendene United also won theleague championshipbyadifference of a sin-gle point, pipping new champions SteenbergUnited, who then had to be content with thebridesmaid tag.

This time round it is owner Shaffie Mow-zer’sGlendene side that had to bite the bulleteven though they too won their away game1-0 against The Magic at Royal Road in Mait-

land on Saturday.The only goal scored in the 70th minute

through Madkane Siyambonga broughtmuch relief and a flicker of hope for Glende-ne United at the time Crystal Palace werestill leading Steenberg United 1-0 in Manen-

berg.However, with all eyes focused on the

clash between Steenberg United and CrystalPalace in which the home side scoredthrough Amir Davids to hold a slender 1-0leadandheld ondesperately for dear life, but

alas Steenberg United found the equaliser inthe 84th minute with a long free kick from50m out through Isma-iel Stanfield and thenin referee’s added optional time Edmund Pe-tersen following a goalmouth melee from acorner kick scored the match winner thatsend the crowd into a frenzy of non-stop joy-ous celebration songs.

“It was an unbelievably great game andthough we came back strongly to turn thingsaround in our favour. I think we deserve towin the league this time round as we workhard all season for league cup success,” saysskipper Marawaan Bantam.

Bantam also played for Cape Town AllStars two seasons before when the All Starsteam under coach Dylan Deane won the re-gional league and promotion to the NFD.

A pretty optimistic and equally confidentupbeat Bantam feels this Steenberg squad isloaded with experience and has a blend oftop quality players that is prepared to fightto the bitter end and is a side that has beentogether for two seasons with coach MikeLukukhuene, an experienced coach who al-so led Chippa United, the Philippi-based sideto the league title and subsequently won pro-motion to the first division pro ranks.

“Therefore we are confident of holdingour own. I’m not saying it is going to be easybut we will prepare well and put up a goodfight in the play-offs to gain promotion,”Bantam concludes.The full ABC Motsepe League results:
