PHOTO: NICOLE MCCAIN LOCAL ELECTIONS Opposing ‘new’ wards NICOLE MCCAIN @nickymccain P roposed new boundaries to existing wards and the creation of new wards have been met with concern. With next year’s local government elec- tions looming, the national Municipal De- marcation Board has released their latest proposed boundaries for Cape Town. The new boundaries will see five new wards created and a number of current wards altered. The board is mandated to demarcate ward boundaries in all municipalities that are di- vided into wards. The demarcations are cur- rently up for public comment through the City of Cape Town, as the City has been invit- ed to a consultative ward demarcation meet- ing with the board and is inviting public con- tributions to present to the board. The proposed demarcations would see sec- tions Woodstock and Zonnebloem incorpo- rated into a new ward with the CBD, Mouille Point, the Waterfront and Paarden Eiland. Salt River will be divided between the pro- posed additional ward and Ward 57. Observ- atory will be split between Ward 57 and Ward 53. But Woodstock residents are alarmed by the division of their neighbourhood, along Roodebloem Road, says Upper Woodstock Residents’ Association chairperson Grant Quixley. “Roodebloem Road as a boundary appears to be completely arbitrary. The community is in no way divided between the two sides of Roodebloem Road. We all have common interests and objectives,” he says. Quixley believes the proposed new bound- aries are potentially highly problematic. “It divides our area of interest in two. If the association is to continue serving the community we currently serve, we will now have to address issues with two councillors and – potentially – will be saddled with two standards of service delivery and two stan- dards of response from the City, depending on the side of Roodebloem Road on which a resident lives. This is not in the interests of Woodstock as a broad community,” he says. The proposed boundaries will divide the community further, rather than to unify it, Quixley points out. “If anything, the boundaries should be drawn to pull the whole of Woodstock togeth- er, including the parts of Woodstock that are above and below Victoria Road. The pro- posed boundaries do not seem designed to achieve this at all,” he says. Walmer Estate Concerned Residents’ Fo- rum chairperson Moosa Sydow has spoken out against the proposed changes, maintain- ing the communities with “no historical or cultural links” are being “lumped together”. Sydow believes the changes have been proposed to benefit businesses and not com- munities. “District Six has been split up,” he says. “In the ’60s and ’70s they broke our hearts and tore the area apart by building Nelson Mandela Boulevard and dislodging District Six residents. We will not stand for this. The demarcations are driven by developments and profits.” Observatory Civic Association chairper- son Marc Turok says dividing up communi- ties makes no sense. “Observatory functions as a closely inte- grated unit – there is no logic to use the rail- way line to divide it. The lower part of Ob- servatory between the Railway and Lies- beek has to remain in the same ward as many roads all run through and there are many pedestrian crossings linking the com- munity,” he says. Turok has called for communities to be better informed on the demarcation propos- als. “I believe these changes should be moti- vated and presented in a form [so] the affect- ed communities can understand. What is be- hind these proposals and the options to each aspect must be explained before decisions are taken behind closed doors,” he says. Ward 57 councillor Brett Herron does not support some of the proposals – in particular the splitting off of the Hartleyvale Voting District from Observatory and adding it to the current Pinelands ward. “I also do not support the further splitting of Woodstock along Roodebloem Road,” he says. The ward currently has voting districts in- cluded in it that split communities across two wards, Herron explains. “Sometimes these kinds of splits are una- voidable due to the demarcation board set- ting limits in terms of the number of voters in a ward. However, where it is avoidable these kinds of splits should be avoided since it is not ideal from an integrated ward and community planning perspective,” he says.

TAMING THE TEENAGER

When Coke is bestGAVIN FISH

I drank two cans of Coke in the year’s firstassembly. Well, actually I opened them.The opening was more important than the

drinking…I spoke of my recent family hike down the

coast from Kei Mouth to Gonubie... 60kms ofbeach sand, spectacular scenery, weariness,sun and wind.At the end of eachday,we collapsed at some

or other restaurant and ordered Coke on therocks. Almost as good as the taste was themagical click – the shwoosh of the can beingopened and the clatter of ice being droppedinto our glasses.Every drink tastes better when it has been

earned.It is more satisfying, hits the spot, and tast-

es richer, sweeter... we all know the disap-pointment of the “unearned” cup of coffee,the soft drink, drunk when not really thirsty.The point I was making is that too many

of today’s teens have a flat Coke experience

of what should be their most thrillingyears.The “rewards’ they experience are some-

what diluted and naggingly unsatisfying.Huge effort, work ethic, sweat and ex-

haustion are not as commonplace as theyshould be.My challenge to my school family was to

exhaust themselves… to do something dif-ferent, something new, something out oftheir narrow groove of okay activities, tolive with the volume turned up (no, not lit-erally) and, to push themselves and allowthemselves to be pleased and satisfiedwiththe results of exertion (be it academic,sporting, culture or whatever).Nowadays it is increasingly difficult to

make attractive the belief that “the re-wards of life come closer to the end ofthe journey, rather than at the begin-ning”.Teens need to be encouraged to identify

theirWIGS –Wildly Important Goals (Cov-ey) – and to understand that it should affectthe way they spend their evening, theirweekend, and their school holidays.It is about delayed gratification, some-

thing most of us adults are still getting ahandle on.SpineRoadHighSchool ismycurrent in-

spiration. Principal RhiyaadNajaar aimedfor a 100% pass rate for 30 years.They achieved just that, all 233 of their

matriculants passed.Do you want to bet how good their Coke

on the rocks tastes just now?Challenge your teen to commit to some-

thing, to stick at it, to set a target, a goaland when it is achieved to savour and cele-brate it.After all, success breeds success.

E-cigarrette found to be toxicELSABÉ BRITS

According to new research, e-cigarettes arenot as harmless as initially thought.It was found to contain up to 15 times

more formalin toxins than normal ciga-rettes.After the latest researchwas published in

a medical journal recently, the state of Cali-fornia has started with a campaign to warnpeople against the dangers of smoking e-cig-arettes, reports Bloomsberg.The research states the temperature can

be adjusted higher to enable more fumesto be released, which unfortunately alsoincludes a huge amount of concealed for-malin toxins – between five to 15 timesmore than what a normal cigarette wouldrelease.

A professor at the Portland State Univer-sity, who was involved with the study, saidin a statement e-cigarettes gets more com-plicated andmore like normal cigarettes bythe day.“Theyuse a lotmore fluids in e-cigarettes,

of which many are derived from tobaccoand is additional to nicotine,” he says.He saysnoone should assumee-cigarettes

are safe to smoke, as it takes years of smok-ing to development lung cancer.“It will probably take another five to 10

years to see how safe it really is to smokee-cigarettes.”Another study also found that claims that

e-cigarettes help people to stop smoking,have not been proved and there are no evi-dence to support these claims.The World Health Organisation have last

year recommended that countries dismissthese untrue health claims. The South Afri-can Pharmacy Council (SAPC) has saidback in 2009 they will not back the sales ofe-cigarettes until it is regulated.In 2012 the Medicines Control Council

(MCC) classified e-cigarettes as a Schedule3 medicine, due to it containing nicotine,and can only be sold in pharmacies. Or itcan be submitted for registration and test-ing.The law on medicine and other related

products is approved and nicotine, as a re-placement for tobacco to stop smoking, mayonly be sold in pharmacies.However, e-cigarettes and other products

are freely available for purchase at ki-osks.– Translated from Die Burger

School vandalism concernsSchool vandalism does not only come ata cost to the provincial education depart-ment, but to the pupil and the communitytoo.According to a recent statement, the ed-

ucation department is delighted that inci-dents of vandalism reported over the De-cember/January holiday period weredown by 32% compared to the same peri-od last year.It states the department’s Safe Schools

directorate arranged for increased secu-rity at some identified high risk schools,as far as possible during the holiday peri-od.About 448 schools received either over-

night security or 24-hour security.Unfortunately, some schools still fell

victim to vandalism and burglaries dur-ing the school holiday.During the holiday period 26 schools

across the province reported incidents ofvandalism and/or burglary with 30 mi-nor incidents and twomajor incidents be-

ing reported.The number of incidents during the

summer holiday dropped to 32 from 41during the same holiday period in2013/14.Schools reported two major incidents

in 2014/15 compared to four in 2013/14.Of the 26 schools, the Cape Winelands

District reported the highest number ofincidents in the province, with 11 inci-dents of burglary and vandalism.The department also received three re-

ports from theMetro Central District, sixfrom theMetro South District and two re-ports from the Metro East District. Thehardest hit district in the metro wasMet-ro North District with seven incidents ofvandalism reported.The department received one report of

vandalism and burglary from the Edenand Karoo District, Overberg District,and two reports from the West Coast Dis-trict.Only two cases have been classified as

‘major’, and 30 cases have been classifiedas ‘minor’. In most cases, perpetratorsbroke into the school classroomsandvan-dalised the interior, breaking windowsand doors, yet stealing nothing.In other cases, computer labs, school of-

fices and bathrooms were broken into.Electronics were stolen and doors andgates damagedwhile trying to gain entry.The department is completing a cost

analysis, but so far, the cost for repairsfor just over half of the schools has comein at just under R1m.The department spends about R10m a

year on emergency repairs for damage re-sulting from major incidents of vandal-ism. The department and schools couldbetter spend these funds on improvingthe quality of education in schools.It is important for communities to take

ownershipof the schools in their areaandrealise they have an important role toplay in protecting their community’s as-sets.

Court battle over warehouseNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

A court battle looms over a warehouseinKensington after hundreds of peopletook up residence in the building last

year.The building, which was converted with-

out any planning applications, has left Ken-sington neighbours fuming.

The building in 4th Avenue was reported-ly converted into 20 apartments although nopermissionhadbeen issued for the construc-tion work (“Unwelcome neighbours”, Peo-ple’s Post, 2 September 2014).

Johan van der Merwe, mayco member forEconomic, Environmental and Spatial Plan-ning, previously told People’s Post the Cityhas not received applications for the rezon-ing of this property.

“It must be noted that the property iszoned for mixed use which makes provisionfor flats, boarding houses, place of worshipand business,” he says.

Van der Merwe confirmed that no plan-ning applications have been received either,and notices were served on the property to

obtain written approval for the work done.All building work which is non-compliantwas to be ceased.

However, after no response from the prop-erty owner in 60 days, the City has now re-ferred the case to the City’s Legal ServicesDepartment for further action, he says.

“The City can confirm that it has not re-ceived any application for the property inquestion and a court date has been set forMarch,” he says.

Ken/Fac Ratepayers’ Association secre-tary Mariam Oliver says residents firstraised the alarm months before when theyreported construction noises at 03:00. Resi-dents then reported having seen four trucksdeliver furniture late at night and around100 people occupying the property.

But despite alerting authorities immedi-ately, Oliver says the organisation has beenleft frustrated by the slow process to prose-cute the owners.

“It’s absolutely frustrating,” she says.People’s Post was not able to reach the

property owner for comment.V Share your thoughts. Send an SMS starting with“Post” to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

FIRST NATION

Marching for recognitionAgroup of KhoiSan descendants

marched to parliament demandingconstitutional recognition.

Over 100 people, some as old as 86 and oth-ers as young as 10, marched on Thursday5 February under the name of the First Na-tion speaking out against being named ‘col-oured’.

March organiser and National KhoiSanReference Group member Wendy Williamssays: “We understand that the term or raceclassification of ‘coloured’ came about bythe apartheid government and prior to thatthe Dutch and British used our race classifi-cation to their advantage.With each govern-ment and administration,wehave been clas-sified by others,” she says.

“In June 1991 the term ‘coloured’ was re-pealed from the law books, yet today we arestill classified as such by present-day gov-ernment.”

Historically Southern Africa was populat-ed by first nation people, namely the Khoiand San, now also called coloureds, Willi-ams explains.

She believes this classification hasskewed the community’s history.

“The youngest person at the march was a10-year-old girl from Ocean View. In an as-signment she brought home from school she

was asked to explain the difference betweenherself and theKhoiSan.Her brotherwas fu-rious to say the least, and he gave her hisown indigenous history lesson, piquing herinterest andhence her request to skip schooland rather experience the unity of themarch,” she says.

The First Nation has been extensivelymarginalised by various government re-gimes, Williams says, and now demand con-stitutional recognition and to no longer betreated as a minority.

First Nation members marched to parliamentto demand constitutional recognition.

Taking a stand against graffitiNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Scrubbing and painting wallsis almost a daily chore in theObservatory Improvement

District.The organisation struggles to

remove graffiti tagging across theneighbourhood.

Improvement District actingchief operation officer Brian Am-ery says a large chunk of thecleaning budget, around R20 000,goes towards removing graffiti.

And the improvement districtreceives daily reports of the of-fence.

“It happens almost every dayand it is worse in school holi-days,” he says.

“Graffiti is a major contributorto urban degradation.”

But graffiti is a citywide nui-sance, says JP Smith, MayoralCommittee Member for Safetyand Security.

“The City of Cape Town’s Graffi-ti Unit employs 200 workers viathe Expanded Public Works Pro-gramme project to remove graffi-ti, with a budget of R2.3m for thecurrent financial year,” explainsSmith.

Graffiti lowers the tone of anyarea, Smith maintains.

“It is a mean-spirited act done incontempt of the property andrights of others – and is outrightvandalism and wilful damage tothe environment. There is no ex-cuse for it, whatever fringe cul-ture would have one believe,” hesays.

“It is a furtive, skulking act ofself-glorification at the expense ofthe local community and withoutseeking to consult them orachieve their consent for howtheir communities should be dec-orated.

“Extensive research has une-quivocally linked it to a break-down in law and order and a risein petty crime.”

However, tagging or graffitishould not be confused with mu-ral artwork by respected graffitimural artists which is executedopenly, with skill, planning and,above all, with the prior consentof those whose property it adorns,he says.

“I am in favour of properly au-thorised and approved artworkthat also promotes a positive mes-sage.

“There is no control, censor-ship, evaluation or moderation ofthe message. Street art can beused for good as it has the abilityto carry powerful social messagesand awareness as well as uncom-fortable reminders of truths wemight be keen to hide from or failto acknowledge,” he says.

Amery is now calling on resi-dents to report graffiti immediate-ly, as well as any information onthe perpetrators.

“We offer a reward for informa-tion leading to the arrests and con-victions [of these criminals]. Weaim to remove graffiti within 24hours,” he says.V Report all graffiti to the Observatory Im-provement District control room on021 447 1066.

Although surrounded by artistic murals such as this work of art, Observatory residents are being called on to take astand against illegal tagging. PHOTO: NICOLE MCCAIN

Pupils harvest own foodA recently installed edible garden at Ob-

servatory Junior School will yieldnearly 10kg of fresh produce every day,

benefitting three schools in Observatoryand Salt River.Funded by MySchool, MyVillage and My-

Planet, in partnership with Woolworths Fi-nancial Services, the garden will benefitnearly 1500 pupils from Dryden PrimarySchool, Mary-Kihn Primary and Observato-ry Junior School.The 400m² garden includes 40 different

vegetables and herbs – from aubergine, to-mato, spinach and leeks, to cabbage, brocco-li, beetroot, rosemary and thyme.The garden is on the grounds of Observa-

tory Junior School, but produce harvested

from the garden will go to all three schoolsto contribute to the lunch made for pupilsat school each day.All three schools will also use the garden

as an educational resource centre, activelyinvolving pupils in managing the garden.Adding fresh, locally-grown produce to

the pupils’ diets has great nutritional valueand added to that is the experience of grow-ing their own food.They learn from the garden – planting,

growing, harvesting and then eating thefood they’ve grown.Urban Harvest, which installed this gar-

den, have installed over 250 gardens so far,more than half of those at schools in thegreater Cape Town area.

Xenophobia: an excuse for criminalityThe recent looting by township residentsof foreign owned shops is an ominoussign of the level of moral decay in ourtownships. The actions were theft;xenophobia was merely the excuse.The decision by township residents to

loot and burn down foreign ownedbusinesses, because of the fatal shootingof a teenager suspected of stealing fromone of these shops, is a highly hypocriti-cal one.Mainly because the same teenager,

caught breaking into someone’s house,would be stoned and set alight, vigilantestyle.His death was just a perfect excuse for

residents to go on a rampage to blatantlysteal.When people operate as a mob, they

lose all capacity to think and act likeindividuals. One killing was enough toarouse an entire township against theforeign businesses.After the looting and total destruction

of these small businesses, the local

pundits presented a whole lot of hack-neyed grievances against foreignersdoing businesses in the townships tojustify the looting.Now that these convenience stores are

destroyed, local residents are at themercy of local traders, who will exploitthe situation and charge them exorbitantprices. When the dust settles, the resi-dents will eagerly wait for foreigners toreopen their stores to provide basic foodsat reasonable prices, and in some instan-ces on account.Looting and trashing businesses was a

legitimate strategy during the struggle,but 20 years into democracy, this strate-gy has no place at all in airing ourgrievances. It should be outrightlycondemned by our leadership.The silence by our past and present

leadership on the attacks on foreignnationals in our country must have beenmet with absolute disdain by manyleaders and communities from the rest ofAfrica.

We forget that the countries up northgave our freedom fighters – today’sleaders – refuge when they were in exile.The dastardly act by local residentsagainst foreigners is a terrible way for usto say ‘thank you’ to them for the helpthey gave us during our struggle forfreedom.The scale of protest was far too huge

for a small band of police officers tocontrol. In situations such as these, onlya strong and respected leadership, suchas Madiba and Archbishop emeritusDesmond Tutu, could stop such riots.When the late Chris Hani was assassinat-ed, it was the power of Tutu’s leadershipthat stopped the angry masses fromunleashing their anger through a bloodbath. He very successfully exhorted thenation to throw down their spears ofanger and focus their efforts on the unityof our country.His style of leadership is sadly lacking

among the current crop of leaders, andthat should be of great concern to all ofus, when looking at the future.

Your SMSesGeneral. How many days do the Sassa grantsremain in our pension accounts beforethe grant is returned to the fiscus? Ihave not purchased a Cape Argus, CapeTimes or Sunday Times for about 20years. So please could the governmentprint the dates each month in communi-ty newspapers for when grant money arereturned to the fiscus?. Parents should also have a passwordfor their children especially with peoplesaying, ‘your mother said I must fetchyou’. The child should know the pass-word and ask the person what thatpassword is. Never label their names ontheir school bags or clothes. It is so easyfor someone to read the name and callthe child and the child would believethem, not knowing the person saw theirname on their bags.. People in gang-ridden areas have beenconsistently demanding that the army is

brought in and that the president doesnot realise the need. Is Cape Town beingpunished by the presidency, because ourprovince is run by the DA? We are taxpaying citizens, Mr President, andtherefore have the right to a peacefulexistence. After all, we have paid forNkandla so that you will always enjoy apeaceful existence there. – Carmen.Why are some people allowed to erecthomes wherever they feel fit? We workhard to survive and cannot afford to buy[properties].

Drag racing.Why are cars being modified fornormal road use? Most cars are alreadyso fast. Enforce the law, I say, do not beintimidated by petrolheads. Despite alltheir protestations, it is they who breakthe law with dangerous and irresponsibledriving with no regard for other roadusers. It is astonishing this lawlessnesshas gone unchecked for so long.. Cars modified for racing should not beallowed on public roads and should betransported to an event on a trailer.

Body modifications should not be aproblem.. The various authorities want to detractfrom their inability to deal with issueshead on by imposing sanctions orstringent regulations on the generalpublic. Shifting blame never works.. The City should impose even biggerfines than R4000, because these racersare inconsiderate especially in residentialareas. Loud music, exhaust systems andwheel spinning. Well done, City.. Law enforcement should work in theearly mornings to control taxis andmotorists found racing. Lock them upand throw away the keys.. Target the illegal racers, not lawabiding motorists, of whom some evenhave their families in the car..Why don’t they focus on real crime?Our government cannot even run thecountry properly and this is a fact. CapeTown is the only place that is doing thisin the world. And JP Smith is killing allyoung people’s dreams to build up a carfor Killarney. Not everyone participatesin illegal racing.

If you’re anything like most people, you would by nowbe frantically surfing the internet for ideas of how to addthat extra special spark to your love life.Yes, true to the Gregorian calendar, Valentine’s day

comes around once a year every year.And, without fail, lovers – those who are, others who

have a great hope and thosewho are old hands –will allowthemselves to be steered towards the chainstores quiteconvinced thatwhat theirmoney canbuywill be evidenceof their love.Like drones, unthinkingly, the masses are propelled to

buy, buy, buy.But, like the song says, with apologies, money probably

can’t buy you love.So here’s a thought. Or two.If you’re in love perhaps you should bemaking an effort

every day.Not justwhen the commercialwheels are turn-ing you towards the mall and driving you to reach foryour wallet.Forgive the cliche, but really, this one is so true. It is

the little things that count, yes?Love takes hard work, commitment, dedication and

selfless acts that cost you time and effort each day.Buying something from a shelf ... that’s too easy.Just think. Do you really want your love to admire the

flowers only to cast them in a bin when they start droop-ing? And they will, unless they’re fake, which probablysays a lot about your taste in gifts.Or what about the cuddly soft toy with the little heart

that lights up? Cute for a day, then it takes pride of placeon a shelf or at her/his work, only to become a burdenwhen it has to be cleaned. Have you ever tried cleaninga soft toy that is battery-operated? Not fun.Make him/her coffee in bed, take a moonlight walk,

pack a picnic and enjoy a sunset or sunrise. Do the unex-pected little things that will earn you real thanks.

or production over the past 25 years, you’veexperienced themusicalmagic that happenswhen he gets that guitar groove going, he’sbeen in the band for that long.While working with Kramer and the late

Taliep Petersen in their productions, tour-ing the world has been a dream come truefor Gammie. And it’s a journey that is stillcontinuing.In December last year Gammie was part

of the band that went to Carnegie Hall inNewYork.He saidwhenhe steppedonto thatstage he thought back to his roots.“I was very emotional,” he says. “Was this

laaitie who learnt his music on the streetsreally standing on this stage?“As I plugged in for the sound check and

the first notes of my guitar rang out I knewitwasnot a dream;mypassion formusic hadpaid off.”

Right movesGammie points out that growing up in 7th

Avenue in Athlone you could not help hav-ing music influence you.“This is the same road as the famous But-

ler family,” he says.“Music came to you from the corners

where guys were singing, the langarmbands, the Christmas Choirs and, of course,the Minstrels. When I first heard the soundof the guitar with the choirs I knew that Iwanted to play.”There was no money for an instrument at

that time so some ingenuity sawhimmaking

his own guitar from a tin can.“I just had to play something,” he laughs.“There were no formal lessons so I just

watched. My ‘guitar’ may not have been intune, but my fingers were making the rightmoves and in my head I was a star.”Eventually he got a real guitar for his

birthday when he was 13 and he started tak-ing his music more seriously learning fromthose around him and getting involved withthe minstrels.“My music school was the streets, the ra-

dio and gramophone. There was always mu-sic around me and I wanted to play every-thing fromThe Shadows and Beatles to JimiHendrix.”Eventually word of his talent spread and

he was invited to join the band Harold andthe Hippies (eventually shortened to just

The Hippies).“Wewereverypopular on the local scene,”

he remembers.“Richard John Smith was also part of the

band at the time and we even had a bit ofa hit with the song Storybook children, butthe radio would not play it because hippieswere supposed to be ‘bad’ at the time,” helaughs.Since then there have been many bands

that hehas playedwith.But it is the relation-ship with the minstrels that eventually gothim joining the Kramer/Petersen family.“I always knew Taliep (Petersen) from

working with the minstrels and he alwaysloved my playing. For many years he wouldtell me that he wanted to work with me butboth of us were always busy with other pro-jects.

“Eventually Howard Links (bass playerfor Kramer/Petersen) rocked up atmy placeand just said: “Kom, Taliep soek vir jou.”And that was that.“Since then David has not stopped using

us as his backing band and for recordings.We’ve built up a good relationship addingthat real Cape flavour to his music with ourstyle of playing.”

Musical journeyThis relationship has also seen some of

Gammie’s original material featured in theKramer concerts.“A particularly proudmoment formewas

when David included my tune Ons jol innieHeideveld for the concert in Carnegie Hall.“Of course we eventually sang Ons jol in-

nie Carnegie Hall and watching the peopleget up and dancemademe realise howproudI was to be working with the best in theSouth African music industry.”The musical journey is far from over for

Gammie and there is still much he is doingand wants to do.Recording is high on that list of getting his

original material on an album, he wants toteach more youth music, and he still lovesdoing gigs when he is not working on a Kra-mer production.He has formed a group Fantacy with sing-

erVincentCarlindt and theydo a regular gigat the Ground Coffee Restaurant (4 DenverRoad, Lansdowne) on Thursdays from 20:00and on Saturdays at Cafe Royale (also inLansdowne Road) from 17:00.“I am available for any type of gig,” he

says.“The people have enjoyed what we do so

if you want to discover that sound that tookme to Carnegie Hall, just call.”V Gammie Lakay can be contacted on 083 776 5092.Check Gammie in action at https://www.youtu-be.com/watch?v=9rBjnakTmWA.

Dr Victorgets their voteLOUISA STEYL

@lounotes

With two decades of hits under theirbelts, Dr Victor and the Rasta Re-bels have become synonymouswith

“feel-good” music.That’s exactly what fans can expect when

theband takes to the stage at theLiqui-FruitAmphitheatre in Paarl for Local is Lekker2015.The band is one of three acts that Cape

Town audiences chose to perform at theshow, the only one in the countrywhere thepublic decides the line-up.FrontmanDrVictor says he’s looking for-

ward to the outdoor show, which takes pla-ce on Saturday 21 March.“I like open-air concerts because every-

thing is bigger; bigger dance moves, biggerapplause and a huge sound system to playthrough.”Dr Vic, as he is also known, says the band

is planning to play some of the hits that ma-de them a household name in South Africa.

A ‘good song’“Most of the songs I’ve had the opportuni-

ty to sing on are crossover songs and theyappeal to all races and the whole family,”the singer says.He’s also achieved success with the anti-

apartheid anthem cover song Give me hope,Joanna by Eddy Grant. Many of their songswere already hits in the ’60s and ’70s beforethe Rasta Rebels recorded their own versi-ons.“I believe a good song will always be a

good song,” he says.Dr Victor’s musical career has seen him

share the stagewith international stars likeGloria Estefan and Janet Jackson. But, hesays, career highlights include meetingPaul Simon in 1995 and Tina Turner in 1996.He is also involved with local talent and

even co-wrote and produced the popularYou touch me (horny) album by Dawnay.The title track of the album spent a re-

cord-breaking 22 weeks at the top of localcharts in 2001.Dr Victor is currently working with Ri-

cardo, whose single I love you, Daddy wasa huge hit in the ’80s.“The brother needs my help and I’m just

reaching out to him as a friend,” he says.Dr Victor also hopes to finish his smooth

jazz guitar project and his long overdueChristmas album this year.For now, fans can look forward to seeing

himwith the Rasta Rebels atLocal is Lekker2015 where they’ll share the stage withGarth Taylor and Theuns Jordaan.The show isbeingpresentedbyTygerBur-

ger, Smile 90.4fm and CapeGate ShoppingCentre who gave readers, listeners andshoppers the chance to nominate and thenvote for their favourite local acts last year,thereby giving them the chance to choose

their own line-up for the annual concert.

Audience participationDrVictor says he likes the idea of audien-

ces choosing performers.“It would really stretch our creativity as

musicians.“Iwould like to thank all the fans for their

continued support over the years andthanks for voting forme to perform at LocalisLekker 2015. I’m looking forward to agreatgig,” he concludes.Visit the Dr Victor & The Rasta Rebels’

Fiction, Guy explains: “Every tour overthe last 14 years is fondly remembered,and quite often defined, by the storiesfrom the road. The people, the accents, thecalamities, the laughter, the technicalmelt-downs and the potholes.”He says the name reflects exactly what

happens while travelling as a musician

and that these experiences make theirway into songs, on-stage anecdotes andhis thoughts.“Considering the scale of this tour, I

know it’ll be one to rememberwithmemo-ries to share for years to come.”Audiences can expect “high dynamics,

deep grooves, delicate African inflectionsandmind-bending guitar playing of an en-tirely new order” from Guy Buttery.Guy’s tour brings him to Café Roux in

Glendene loses groundHellenic and Zizwe United returned to winning ways as they closedthe gap on log-leaders Glendene in this weekend’s ABC MotsepeLeague encounters.

Glendene dropped vital points at home when they drew 1-1 withSteenberg United. Taonga Dondo came off the bench to find theopening goal for the hosts in the 87th minute. However, Steenbergreplied two minutes later through Moses Mustapha, who helpedhis side secure a crucial point away from home.

Zizwe now trail Glendene by just three points following theirconvincing 3-0 win over struggling FC Tygerberg, with Odwa Sala-kuphathwa netting a brace and the third goal being an own goal.

Ajax Cape Town recorded their third consecutive win when theyovercame RC Athletico 3-0 at Chukker Road. Bottom-of-the-tableThe Magic FC now go two matches unbeaten following their 1-1draw with Knysna Bafana (Ikapa Sporting).

Barcelona came from behind and equalised from the penalty spotto ensure they shared the spoils with Grassy Park United in a 1-1stalemate at the William Herbert Sports Ground. Meanwhile, Crys-tal Palace FC claimed maximum points over Moonlight with a nar-row 2-1 win at the Dysselsdorp Sports Ground.

Hellenic regained their winning form against Milano United de-spite the absence of their top goal-scorer, Alfonso Frasier, due tosuspension. Former Sundowns player Therlo Moosa levelled mat-ters for the Greek Gods when he cancelled out Shaun Daniels’ open-ing goal, before Craig Martin made it 2-1 at the break.

Eezy My Kinnes dominated the second half and created countlessopportunities to get back in the game, but were unfortunate withsome poor finishing in the final third. Milano captain MogamatTriegaardt mistimed a clearance and put the ball into the back ofhis own net to hand Hellenic a 3-1 win.V Visit www.capetownfootball.co.za for more soccer stories and updates.
