WATERFRONT

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 Belgium shep­herd “working” on the Si­lo District’s constructionteam.

FROM PAGE 1“When I asked for their names they refusedto give it to me and the woman that I spoketo told me I have an attitude and switched offthe phone. My brother-in-law managed to goto the station and was shocked to see how dis-traught Liam was. They tried to convince himthat they had not assaulted my son. I just wantthe public to know their rights in this type ofsituation.”

Many commuters have reported incidentswhereticket offices are closed.

Estelle Mathee works in Woodstock andadds that many of her staff from as far afieldas the Kuils River and Bellville areas and inthe southern suburbs from Retreat and Steen-berg have experienced problems. “Many ofthem have to leave for work before the officesare open,” she says.

“The problems start when they get to theirdestination and they have to convince staff atthe barriers that the offices were closed whenthey started their journey.”

Trevor Vosloo is from a business based inClaremont who has also experienced the sameproblems.

“My staff have also experienced the samesituation and it does not help when the trainsdo not run on time or are delayed. I hope thatMetrorail can assist by informing all theirstaff at barriers what the proper process iswhen people start their journeys before offi-ces open. We understand that people must nottravel for free but why must they be punishedfor something that is not their fault.”

Metrorail spokesperson, Riana Scott, hasresponded in a statement: “Metrorail isobliged to ensure that all commuters travel le-gally. Travelling without a valid ticket or inthe incorrect travelling class for the ticketpurchased is a criminal offence in terms of theLegal Succession Act.

“Hundreds of fare-paying commuters com-plain daily about fellow non-paying passen-gers invading premium space in Metropluscarriages – it adds unnecessary pressure to al-

ready over-subscribed ultra-peak hours. Met-rorail reserves the right to levy a booking fee(currently R40) and/or prosecute personswithout valid train tickets. Commuters is-sued with such a booking fee must insist ona receipt.”

Ticket office hours are generally deter-mined by the timetable, analysis of ticketsales and passenger numbers using the partic-ular station, Scott says. “Should a ticket officeat the origin station be closed, commuters areobliged to purchase a ticket either on the trainfrom teams with portable ticket issuing ma-chines or at their destination station beforeexiting.

“Those found to be in contravention of thelaw, are required to wait at the station in adesignated area until they have been proc-essed.

“Many ‘defaulters’ offer reasons/explana-tions/excuses for having transgressed the lawand Metrorail employees have the unenviabletask to makea judgment call as to whose emer-gency is valid or not. Verification staff mustconfirm that the ticket office at the commut-er’s station of origin was closed.”

Until modernisation brings the requisitetechnology (automated ticket vending ma-chines and ticket scanners), Metrorail cur-rently is left with no option but to rely on hu-man intervention, Scott says.

“The most effective way to deal with thematter is through special actions. Optimal de-ployment of resources is based on analysis ofticket sales and commuter numbers. These in-clude random actions on trains and at stationswith space to process commuters.

“We do not condone any misconduct by oursecurity personnel or employees and commut-ers should not be subjected to unacceptablebehaviour. We encourage individuals to opena case of assault with the police if behaviourwarrants that or report non-conforming em-ployee behaviour to [email protected], citing all relevant details.”

Golf academyplans teed upEARL HAUPT

@EarlHaupt

Plans are afoot to establish a golfing foot-print in the Athlone area after a motion

was submitted to the City of Cape Town’sportfolio committee for approval.

The open plot of land on the corners ofKlipfontein Road and Jakes Gerwel Drive(erf 32604) has been earmarked as the pro-posed site for the development of the acade-my.

Ward councillor Suzette Little says: “Itis exciting forme tohaveagolfingacademyon that particular site, because historical-ly that was the very first golf course in Ath-lone.”

The site proposed for the academy wasthe site of the community’s very first driv-ing range, Little explains.

“It was not an 18-hole golf course, be-cause nobody would have built it, but therewas a driving range where people of colourwould practice their golf.”

The Kurt Stripp Golf Academy proposedthe development of the academy whichaims to introduce primary school learnersto the sport with the help of community or-ganisations in the area.

“It was very exciting for me to have agroup of people come through and reallystart up and claim a bit of history for ourarea, which is wonderful. I asked them ifthey give some reference and find some ofthe folk that had played there, that is ofcourse prior to them to putting up the py-lons over there,” adds Little.

Little says the site for the prospectiveacademy will also stretch to behind Van-gate Mall between Athlone A’s baseball

club and Bosduif Avenue and on both sidesof the Vygieskraal River, which Little sayshas become a health hazard.

“The Vygieskraal River is a problem, be-cause people are living in the river, I amnot talking about on the banks of the river.I genuinely do not know why. One wouldhave thought that they would have put itup on the bank of the river.”

There is also dumping taking place at thesite. “It is used as a dumping site, becausesome of the shops at Vangate Mall aredumping there and if I can get that riverclosed and part of the golf course, it wouldserve a great purpose, it would help withmany problems that we have in the area,”explains Little.

She says there will be great interest fromthe surrounding areas of Bokmakierie,Gatesville, Kewtown and Silvertown.

“We are going to have the golf courseback. There will be an opportunity for ouryoung people to learn a different sport thanwhat they are used to.

“Golf is a very exciting sport. Some of thechildren in Bokmakierie are actually justusing that Third Avenue sports field andjust knocking around a golf ball. So it isgood and they must have some proper,practical training.”

One of the proposals to the developmentis that the academy is going to be providingsome of the children with free training.

However, first the motion will need to bediscussed at the next portfolio meeting.

“Once that happens, and then we startdiscussing the ins and outs about how theyare going to go about putting this together.We can then come back with an answer asto what we are going to be doing.”

Suzette Little, ward councillor for ward 49, says that should the development of the golfacademy go ahead, that the Vygieskraal river will be fenced off and become part of thedevelopment.

SAARTJIE BAARTMAN CENTRE

New wing tohelp addictsThe Saartjie Baartman Centre forWomenand Children is preparing to launch a

new wing equipped to house women withsubstance dependency issues who are seek-ing to escape abusive and violent relation-ships.As a result a donation drive has been

launched in order to kit out the new wingwith furniture, bedding and clothing. Thecommunity and private sector are invitedto support the centre in raising these neces-sities.“Currently about 80% of the women who

seek assistance from us test positive fordrugs,” says ShaheemaMcLeod, director ofthe centre. “Our intake profile is changing,the women are very young, some barely 18-years-old, and substance abuse is a big is-sue. It’s almost expected.”The Saartjie Baartman Centre, which

was established 17 years ago, has assistedmore than 180 000 victims of crime and vio-lence. Over and above offering safe shelter,the centre offers a number of services, in-

cluding short and long-term accommoda-tion, legal assistance, skills training, coun-seling for adults and children and a crèchefor the children staying at the centre.“Based on our current intake profile, it’s

become necessary for the centre to offer adrug in-patient programme to our clients.We are currently looking into securinglong-term funding for a separate wing,wherewewill be able to provide a two-weekorientation and detox programme to wom-en before they transfer to a longer-termtherapeutic stay,” says McLeod.Over the past few years, the organisation

has seen a 65% increase in the number ofwomen and children from the communityseeking assistance. “Violence against wom-en and children continues to increase, drugand alcohol abuse is merely fueling an al-ready volatile situation. The in-patient pro-gramme will go a long way in assistingwomen survivors of violence in gettingback on their feet and fending for them-selves,” concludes McLeod.

Light shed on ‘smart drugs’South Africa’s Council for Alcohol De-pendency and Addiction to Drugs (San-ca) commemorated Drug AwarenessWeek last week, which took place fromFriday 24 to Thursday 30 June.This year, student accommodation

group Stag African, raised concernabout the abuse of so-called “smartdrugs” by university students.In a growing and increasingly pres-

sured teriatry education system, somestudents are turning to prescriptionmedications in order to enhance concen-tration during exams. Alarm has beenraised in South Africa before, but as yetno quantified data exists on the extent ofthe problem. According to Sanca, thedrugs most frequently peddled on SouthAfrican campuses are Ritalin and Con-certa – reportedly readily available out-side campus libraries during exam peri-ods. A survey conducted by online forumThe Student Room found that one in 10students in theUnitedKingdomhasusedmedications typically used to treatADHD for the purpose of studying. Aquarter say they are likely to use themat somepoint in their university careers.According to Stag African, the statis-

tics in South Africa may be similarlyconcerning.“There arenumerouspressures placed

on students in South Africa that intensi-fy the drive to turn to prescription drugsin order to cope with workload. Due tothe on-campus housing shortage, many

students do not have access to universi-ty-based studying resources – such as theinternet or text books. Students oftenenduppulling all-nighters in the library, dueto long distances and unreliable trans-port, which makes getting home at nightdifficult and at times dangerous,” saysJohn Schooling, Stag African’s director.Those students that live away from

home can become even more isolatedand desperate, particularly when facedwith the transition from home andschool support structures to largelyanonymous campus residences.“Where a student lives is critical to

their success; these spaces need to be assupportive as possible, while still ena-bling the independence students crave,”adds Schooling. Local and internationalresearch has demonstrated that residen-ces built to be “living communities” pro-vide students with better support andhealthier lifestyles than large-scalehousing or isolated flats.Schooling says Stag student houses

provide an important, comfortable struc-ture to students by keeping residentnumbers low, integrating top-notch techand encouraging communal cooking andstudy. “The pressures of workload andadult life still present a challenge to stu-dents – but providing community struc-ture and adequate accommodation willhelp curb unhealthy habits, ridiculoushours and the substance consumptionthat comes hand in hand with that.”

Schools cannowenter for the SouthAfricanProgramming Olympiad.The first round of the olympiad will take

SMOKING WHEELS: Two Grassy Park detectives were carrying out an investigation in Parkwoodon Tuesday 28 June when they noticed a suspicious vehicle. Provincial spokesperson Captain FC vanWyk says the officers followed the suspects. “After a brief pursuit the suspects were ordered to stop.Their vehicle was searched which led to the discovery of a large amount of illicit cigarettes withan estimated street value of R60 000. Three men, aged between 28 and 31, were arrested on chargesof possession of illicit cigarettes and the driver for reckless and negligent driving,” he says. The suspectswere due to appear in the Wynberg Magistrate’s Court.

Joining hands tohelp the hungryGARY VAN DYK

There’s more to the Wetton TriangleFeeding Scheme than filling hungry

tummies in the southern suburbs.This is a project that is making resi-

dents in the area meet each other asneighbours and working for a goodcause.

Chairperson of the organisation, Wah-eed Amod, explains that the idea startedin 2014 when, along with three otherfriends involved in the neighbourhoodwatch, he realised that people in the areadid not know each other and there wasa need to care for the homeless in sur-rounding areas.

“During our patrols we realised thatthere was a need for people to become re-al “neighbours” and interact with eachother,” he says.

“What better way to get to know eachother by working together in a projectlike this where we show that we careabout the less fortunate.”

Two years later and they’re goingstrong as they gathered at a home in Ca-nal Road, Wetton, on Sunday 3 Julywhere the team was cooking up a stormfor distribution.

A delicious aroma fills the air fromsteaming pots on gas cookers with thechildren helping to pack bread and lotsof laughter as preparations continue fortheir mission.

“Currently we feed areas such as Wet-

ton, Lansdowne, Wynberg, Retreat, DiepRiver, Muizenberg, Mitchell’s Plain,Athlone, Phillipi and expanding to areassuch as Lavender Hill and Delft,” contin-ues Amod.

“We enjoy that we are able to feed theunderprivileged throughout the year butyou can see that it’s about more thanthat.

“It’s getting all in the area involved. Tobring the neighborhood closer togetherand get to know your neighbours.

“Our aim is also to set a trend and in-spire other neighbourhoods to reach outand start projects to help the underprivi-leged.

“It can be in a format of cooking foodonce a month to teaching other skillsthat’s not fortunate to study so they canuse the knowledge they gained to helptheir community.”

Amod adds that all the cooking is fund-ed by the generous residents of Wetton,along with friends and acquaintances ofthe steering committee.

“The scheme’s goal is to feed as manypeople as possible and is keen to partnerwith other organisations who want to as-sist us, or need our help.

“We also would urge business to get in-volved in projects in their communityand to help those trying to make a differ-ence.”V For more information about the organisation’sactivities call Waheed Amod on 082 786 1002,Sharief Allie on 072 782 1754 or [email protected].

A R10m grant has beenawarded to Robben IslandMuseum.

The museum was awardeda destination developmentgrant from the National De-partment of Tourism, whichaims to enhance the visitorexperience through support-ing identified and plannedcomponents, the departmentsays in a statement.

The current support focusis on capacity developmentof tourist guides, digitisationof heritage information andarchives, improving visitorinformation services, in-creasing existing and intro-ducing additional food andbeverage facilities, as well asa craft centre.

Robben Island Museumhad not commented at thetime of going to print.

Cape Town Tourism CEO,Enver Duminy, says RobbenIsland, as one of Cape Town’sBig Seven attractions, is a“must-do” experience for lo-cals and visitors alike.

“The Robben Island Muse-um can only benefit fromfunding of this nature in thatit will be able to provide andmaintain world-class facili-ties,” he says.

In December there was a43% increase in the numberof visitors to the world heri-tage site compared to the pre-vious year, Duminy says.

“The attraction reported

that the number of locals vi-siting the attraction doubledin December compared withthe same period in 2014. It’sessential that locals exploretheir own environment, es-pecially attractions such asRobben Island that play a keyrole in our heritage,” he says.

There were 341 000 visitorsto Robben Island in 2015 – anincrease of 3.7% over 2014.However, 46 793 tickets weresold for the attraction in De-cember alone – 15% morethan the amount sold duringthe 2010 Soccer World Cup inSouth Africa.

“Robben Island was re-cently chosen as South Afri-ca’s most-loved landmark inthe Trip Advisor Traveller’sChoice Awards – an indica-tion that it holds our interestand is central to tourism inthe Mother City.”

Robben Island has alreadyexpanded its fleet of ferriesby partnering with Water-front Charters, making useof their six medium and largesized boats, Duminy says.

“This increase in capacitywill aid in ensuring visitorsare able to access the attrac-tion. Future plans include a200-seater restaurant, the in-troduction of a state-of-the-art visitor information cen-tre, training of tour guides,developing tours of differentlengths to keep visitors onthe island for longer and bi-cycle tours on the island.”

Next year the attractionturns 20 years old.

On Sunday 3 July the Two Oceans Aquari-um and organisations around the world

marked International Plastic Bag Free Day.The day aims to raise awareness about the

unnecessary use of single-use plastic bags.The Two Oceans Aquarium supports a

ban of single use plastic shopping bags inSouth Africa through its Rethink the Bagcampaign.

The campaign was launched by HayleyMcLellan, the aquarium’s environmentalcampaigner, who has worked tirelesslysince 2010 to educate, establish partner-ships and promote the campaign.

Many countries around the world havebanned 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 marine andterrestrial animals. Research has shownthat the average functioning lifespan of ashopping bag is approximately 20 minutes,whereafter it is discarded,” she says.

“Every day we hear about what is goingwrong in the environment and this can feeldisempowering. Always choosing reusablebags, rather than plastic bags, is such a sim-ple way for each person to do something tobenefit our world and feel like they are mak-ing a difference, seemingly against theodds.”

There is also an economic impact forSouth African consumers, McLellan says.

“In 2003 a levy was included in the priceof each shopping bag sold in South Africa.Between 2004 and 2014, R1.2bn was collectedthrough this levy. Only R200m of this moneyhas been allocated to the Department of En-vironmental Affairs. In 2011 the companythat was established to manage 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 (marine and terrestrial) mistakeplastic bags for food. Once ingested, the ani-mals die from intestinal blockages and star-vation. Eighty percent of all marine litter isplastic and plastic bags can last between 500and 1000 years before they 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

Sewing a storyof progressIn the build up to the Interna-tional Aids Conference in Dur-ban (Monday 18 to Saturday 22July), a local exhibition of 17quilts made by people affectedbyHIVwill tell the story ofwhathas been achieved since the lasttime the conference was held inSouth Africa in the year 2000.TB/HIV Care Association, a

Cape Town based NGO, was on-ly one of several organisationsSouth African National AidsCouncil (Sanac) approached tocreate quilts.In 2000, antiretroviral treat-

ment was not yet widely availa-ble, stigma and discriminationwere widespread and the out-look was bleak.These quilts tell a very differ-

ent story.South Africa now has the

largest antiretroviral treatmentprogramme in the world, amother-to-child transmissionrate of less than twopercent andhas witnessed an increase of

more than 10 years in life ex-pectancy over the past decade,says Zolani Barnes, manager ofTB/HIV Care.“These visual stories provide

valuable insight into the livesbehind the statistics,” Barnesexplains.TB/HIV Care unveiled the

quilts at anevent atHaasCollec-tive on Buitenkant Street onThursday 23 June.The 4m² quilts tell the stories

of the people who made them –people involved in the organisa-tion’s programmes, includingpeople who inject drugs, sexworkers and prison inmates, aswell as those dedicated to sup-porting them.Three of these unique and

powerful tapestries of life wereauctioned on the night and all ofthe quilts will be submitted tothe international HIV QuiltProject to be sewn into themainquilt of more than 100 000 quiltsfrom all over the world.

This quilt, one of those on display by TB/HIV Care, symbolises thejourney of women who were and are still most affected by HIV.

July is Psychiatric DisabilityAwareness Month and this year

Cape Mental Health (CMH), a lead-ing mental health service provid-er, is raising awareness of the bar-riers in accessing medication andcommunity-based resources forpeople with psychiatric disability.To launch the campaign, CMH

invited the public to show theirsupport in breaking down barriersfaced by people with psychiatricdisabilities at St Georges Squareon Thursday 30 June.They were asked to remove a

brick from a two-metre wall de-signed by local artist Adiel Jacobsto symbolise their support in re-moving barriers.Health is a fundamental human

right, indispensable for the exer-cise of many other rights, and isnecessary for living a life of digni-ty, CMH says in a statement.“The health of people with psy-

chiatric disability is largely ne-glected by the public health caresystem in South Africa. For manyservice users access to and theavailability of psychotropic medi-cation is essential to their own re-covery and management process.Medication plays a key role in thetreatment of co-occurring disor-ders; it also reduces symptoms andprevents relapse.”The lack of funding for commu-

nity-based resources continues to

be a serious problem, CMH states.“A large number of studies re-

veal gaps in community-based psy-chosocial rehabilitation pro-grammes, particularly in rural ar-eas, which suggest that the‘revolving door’ phenomenon ispartly due to inadequate communi-ty-based care, including psychoso-cial rehabilitation.”There is therefore an urgent

need to develop more community-based mental health services(which include community-basedresidential care, day services, sup-

port services and outpatient servi-ces), in keeping with internationalbest practices, the statement reads.“We ask the government to in-

vest in the upscaling of mentalhealth care services as a matter ofurgency. It is the government’sconstitutional obligation to ensurethat people living with a psychiat-ric disability have access to healthcare services (which includes af-fordable medication with the leastside effects) and community-basedresources) and that their right todignity is realised and restored.”

Working hard tochange livesSAMANTHA LEE

@Samantha_Lee121

She is a beacon of hope for the many youthwho don’t believe they can achieve suc-

cess.Nolene Bruyns has been working for the

City of Cape Town for sixyears and continues to be in-spired by the opportunitiesavailable for employees.

Bruyns, originally fromMitchell’s Plain, recentlyobtained her National Di-ploma in Office Manage-ment Technology which shepassed with distinction,cum laude.

Bruyns currently worksin the new market develop-ment department of theCity’s Human SettlementsDirectorate which is re-sponsible for the develop-ment of new, integrated andformal housing that islinked to a range of nationalprogrammes.

Other responsibilities include the trans-formation of hostels, land reform and landrestitution within Cape Town.

As the administrative officer she is theglue that binds the department together, es-pecially with her strict record-keeping andinformation management systems, and be-ing able to assist the public with general en-quiries as a first point of call.

“It is an absolute pleasure to work in thehousing department, especially to see the joyin residents’ eyes when they become homeowners for the first time. This is the mostinspiring time when we are able to provideopportunities for our residents,” says

Bruyns.She intends studying further and would

like to enrol for a BTech degree in adminis-tration. Her intention is to continue usingher knowledge gained to make a differencein people’s lives – both at work and in com-munities.

Bruyns speaks fondly ofMitchell’s Plain where shegrew up, but has recentlymoved to Kuils River.

Cracking down on illegal poachers, suchas those harvesting abalone, will becomeeasier after an the signing of an agree-ment to boost resources fighting marinepoaching.

The City of Cape Town and the Depart-ment of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisher-ies (Daff) have signed an ImplementationProtocol that paves the way for closer co-operation and mutual support in the fightagainst illegal marine resource extrac-tion along the City’s 300km coastline.

Through the Implementation Protocolwith Daff, City law enforcement officershave been trained and appointed as fish-ery control officers in terms of the MarineLiving Resources Act, with full powers.

The City established a specialised Ma-rine and Environmental Law Enforce-ment Unit in 2013. The focus of the unithas been marine and coastal law enforce-ment, including inshore boat patrols.

Recent successes by the unit are testa-ment to the tireless efforts of members ofthe unit. These have included the arrestof a shop owner in Glencairn for illegalpossession of over 800 West Coast rocklobster and the arrest of nine suspects inGordon’s Bay for the illegal possession of200 abalone.

“Marine resource abuse is an issue that

the local economy and marine environ-ment cannot afford,” says Mayco memberfor energy, environmental and spatialplanning Johan van der Merwe.

“Therefore, as the City, it is vital for usto establish effective ways of collaborat-ing with partners such as Daff to fightagainst marine-related transgressionstaking place across the city. Daff hasproven to be an invaluable partner andthe expertise that they are bringing to thetable is most welcome,” he says.

“It is very clear that increased partner-ships between agencies from differentgovernment spheres are key. We urgemembers of the public to also support usand our partners in our renewed effortsto tackle the scourge of illegal marine re-source extraction.”

Mayco member for safety and security,JP Smith, adds: “The Protocol will pavethe way for more integrated law enforce-ment operations between the City andDaff. It will also significantly increase theresources, capacity and effort availablefor enforcement and policing of the coast-al and marine environment. Hopefullywe will be able to procure a second largepatrol boat soon, also to combat the strip-ping of our scarce and valuable marineresources.”

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].

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

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.

Richard Theunissen is one ofthe fans behind InboundSound.

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.

BEN BURGER

A young girl who excels in six differentsporting codes is thePeople’s PostLet’sPlay Sport Star of the Month for June.

Malikah Hamza (12) who lives in Kensing-ton and is a Grade 6 learner at ReddamHouse in Durbanville, has at her young agealready made her mark in swimming, waterpolo, cricket, indoorhockey, hockeyand soc-cer. She is especially good in hockey andcricket.

According to her father, Boebie, who nom-inatedher,Malikahplayes forCentralHock-ey Club in the senior ladies second team.Malikah also became the first indoor hockeyplayer in history to make the provincialu.11, u.12, and u.13 sides in the same year(2014) scoring a total of 126 goals.

“At age 9, Malikah became the youngestSouth African hockey player to scoop a pro-fessional sponsorship contract with MrPrice Sport. She has scored 109 goals in the2013 season and a whopping 264 goals for the2014 season. She scored 288 goals in 2015 andis currently on 116 goals for 2016.”

She has been chosen for the WP u.13A sidethis year.

She has won the following awards forhockey:

. Top goal scorer in the Mr Price Sport u.9Tournament for Wynberg Girls Junior.(Malikah scored 15 of her team’s 16 goals).Wynberg won the tournament.

. Won most outstanding Junior HockeyPlayer (2013) for Wynberg Girls Junior.

. Won Player of the Tournament at the Re-gional u.11 indoor hockey tournament(March 2014) as well as regional u.12 indoorhockey tournament in 2015.

. Won two silver medals at the u.12 na-tional indoor tournament (July 2014/15).

. Won Player of the Tournament at theW.I.S.E.U.P u.13 girls tournament (August2014).

. Top Goal Scorer u.14 for Central HockeyClub in 2014 with 63 goals.

. Top Goal scorer at the inter-provincialu.13 hockey tournament held in Potchef-stroom in June 2016.

Malikah is also an accomplished cricket-er. “She is an all-rounder who bowls legbreaks and a middle order batsman. She hasan unorthodox action which is quite similarto former South African cricketer, Paul Ad-ams,” says Boebie.

“Malikah is highly rated as a leggie andmany pundits believe that she will make thesenior national side before she reaches mat-ric. Malikah currently plays for St Augus-tines Cricket Club where Paul Adams andthe late Basil D’Oliveira ploughed their

trade. She plays in the boys u.11 side as wellas the senior ladies side where she took 17wickets last season and had a top score of28 not out against UCT. This season she hasthus far picked up 17 wickets after only sixT20 matches.

“Earlier this year Malikah was invited tothe WP u.19 schools girls cricket trials andmade it past five grueling rounds. She waslater called up into the side but had to with-draw as it coincided with the national u.13indoor hockey tournament.”

According to Boebie, Malikah is also theonly female cricketer in the world who issponsored by Slazenger.

Malikah was selected for a WP CombinedClub XI ladies side to play against the Zimb-abwe national ladies side and took the firstwicket in the match. This made her theyoungest cricketer to play against an inter-national side.

She is currently part of the WP Senior La-dies Winter Squad.

“I enjoy all sports that I participate in,”says Malikah. “Currently its hockey seasonand I train four days a week and play on Sat-urdays.”

She says that she has to do well at school-work as well. “If I don’t do well academicallymyparentswill stopmysport, so Imake sureI work equally hard at both.”

Asked where she would like to be in hersporting career by the time she is in Grade12, the answer was easy: “I would like to beready to represent my country in eitherhockey or cricket.”V You can nominate your sport star by email [email protected].

GGrreeeennwood to tackle IdolsJOSEPH PILLAY

Quite a few mouth-watering soccer matchesare scheduled for Sunday in theRoundof theLast 64 in Safa Cape Town’s lucrative and ev-er-popular Coca-Cola Cup knockout compe-tition.

At the time of going to press, the regionalbody Safa Cape Town had not finalized theavailable venues or those fields suited to begood condition to host the fourth round ofmatches in the Cape Peninsula.

This is the 20th chapter of the Coca-ColaCup competition and it is a replica of whatthe FA Cup is to their English FA adversa-ries and has attracted over 500 amateurteams throughout the region.

High among the people’s choice will be theclash between last years’ Coca-Cola CupchampionsYoung Idols andGreenwoodAth-letic. The Retreat-based side GreenwoodAthletic is currently enjoying a healthy sea-son in the Cape District LFA Super Leagueand is regarded as firm favourites to regainthe championship title from Ocean Viewwho won it last season.

However, Greenwood Athletic will be thesecondclub side fromCapeDistrictLFA thatYoung Idols will be competing against fol-lowing their 2-0winover coachRichardRah-way’s Devonshire Rovers side recently.

Idols coach Paul “Gazza” Johnson hasurged his players to be ruthless againstGreenwood Athletic. Johnson states that theRetreat-based side could be a handful. “Thekey is to find ways to play through a verycompact, very well organised Greenwoodside. We have to find ways to find the for-wards, find spots to go through. It doesn’t re-

ally matter what system you play. They aredefensively very good and our strikers willhave to more clinical and make sure that wefind those opportunities against our oppo-nents and finish them off,” adds Johnson.

Adding to the thrills, Silver Spurs – the2014 former champions – will lock horns willTrinitarians after both teams rose to the oc-casion triumphantly in beating KewtownUnited (4-2) and Hanover Rangers (5-1) re-spectively.

Liverpool-Portland from Mitchell’s Plain– who won the trophy twice, first in 1996 asthe first recreants of knockout prime eventand in 2000 – will enter the lion’s den withGrassy Park United in another intriguinggame that should stretch both defences.

The derby clash between the ManenbergLFA teams, namely Tottenham Hotspursand D&G Orient, has many fanatics talkingand enthusias believe itwill be ahard foughtbattle in which no quarter will be given.

Then spare a thought for the Juventus ver-sus Cape Town Military clash.

Likewise the challenge between High-lands Park and Rygersdal and Mfuleni Unit-ed up against three time Jamestown Unitedchampions (1997, 1998 and 2008) is among thefinger licking matches that dare not bemissed.Other fixtures:Benfica vs Young Pirates,

Dunoon YSA vs Glendene United, Langa Cit-izens vs Bluegum United, Heinz Park vs SSSAcademy, Wesley United vs Riverside Ran-gers, Melchester Rovers vs Ravensmead,Kuils River vs Two For Joy, Eleven Attack-ers vs Leiden Fusion Spurs, Florentina vsCape Town Rangers and FCG Hotspurs vsEastern Rovers.

Ashford eye top-four spotJOSEPH PILLAY

It is no secret that Ashford Athleticis eyeing a top-four finish.Their 2-0 victory against Wesley

United in Saturday’s Cape DistrictLFA Super League encounter at theWilliam Herbert sports complex inWynberg brought some reality totheir aspiration and currently placesecond on the league table.The Heathfield-based side moved

three places up, bypassing Stephani-an Ottery and Glendene United, whoall suffered defeats on Saturdayagainst Salt River Blackpool (3-0) andOcean View (2-1) respectively.The much needed victory which

was Ashford’s eight in the leagueboosted their points tally to 26 from 14assignments. They are way off thepace to challenge for league honoursas Greenwood Athletic must be ratedas firm favourites to regain the cham-pionship title from Ocean View.Unbeaten Greenwood Athletic are

the current pacesetters with 43 pointsfrom 15 matches following their 4-0

comprehensive victory againstGrassy Park United in Steenberg.Nonetheless, Wesley United com-

petedwith venomandkept a scorelessfirst half though they were unluckyon two occasions not to have scored.During the second stanza Ashford

Athletic soon they held the edge in allfacets of the game. However, MikhailAranes turned out to be the star of theshow; scoring a brace and paving theway for Ashford Athletic to secure awell deserved 2-0 victory.Meanwhile Southampton humiliat-

ed Devonshire Rovers 5-0 after havingled 2-0 at the break. The win gaveSouthampton a one-point advantageover Richard Mahwayo’s Devonshireside – which are placed tenth with 15points from 14matches – while South-ampton are presently on 16 pointsfrom 13 games. Nevertheless, the di-minutive midfielder, Dillon Arendseof Devonshire Rovers failed to get thebatter of Deon Jacobs and company.The Devonshire attacking players ofDaniel Slingers and Olin Warnercould also not come to gripswith their

game. However, Southampton madetheir presence felt and five goals werescored through Gershwin January,Marcus Mento in the first half and afurther three through Shaheed andSedick Solomons (2).Results:Super League: Greenwood Athlet-
