MAITLAND: PUPIL SAFETY A PRIORITY

Clearing out criminalsNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

In an attempt to protect Maitland pupils,action has been taken to eliminate hidingplaces for criminals.Maitland police and neighbourhood

watch recently cleared the bushes betweenKoeberg Primary and the train line after re-ports that suspicious characters were hid-ing there.

The school has experienced six break-insthis year, says principal Shanaaz Majiet.Most of these have resulted in vandalism.

Majiet says a few weeks ago they discov-ered that the fence had been cut and some-

one was staying on the campus. This was af-ter the pupils had spotted some men askingfor food and money.

Maitland police spokesperson ConstableLorencial Johnson says the bushes were cutback after the pupils saw people hiding inthem.

“The school brought the incident to the at-tention of the police. The bush stretched outon the furthest side of the school field andanyone hiding in it could see the police ap-proaching from far. This gave them the op-portunity to either run awaywithout the po-lice knowing or launch an attack,” he says.

MaitlandCommunity Police Forumchair-person Charnelle Southgate says the school

reported the bushes as unsafe, aftermenhadbeen seen hiding in them and attempting tolure children away from the school.

Police also found evidence of informalstructures and entry points onto the schoolproperty, Johnson says.

“A structure used to sleep in was also dis-covered in the dense bush and two concreteslabs were removed by someone for easy ac-cess from the railway line side to the schoolpremises,” he says.

Majiet says the people who have been liv-ing there are believed to be suspects in theburglaries.

Safety for pupils has now improved, John-son explains, with police being better able

to monitor the area.“Thepupils ofKoebergPrimaryhavebeen

very vigilant and immediately inform theteachers of anything they may see which isout of the ordinary. The policewillmaintaina high visibility in the vicinity to keep thepupils safe at all times. Residents can alsomake a difference by cutting back over-grown bush from their premises as it justmakes it easier to see criminals at theirhouses or work places,” he says.

However,Majiet saysmore security is stillneeded. The school cannot afford a securityguard and has appealed to the education de-partment and community for assistance inhelping secure the place of learning.

manity and showing that societycan play amajor role in the socialreintegration of someone whohas gone through the unfortu-nate situation of being on thestreet. Every man is just a stepaway from that pavement – thatis the message we want tospread,” he says.The organisation is attempting

to change perceptions by usingan alternative name for streetpeople.“We are not bergies, we are not

you choose for us. We are thestreet historians because we car-ry the tales and stories of thesestreets,” Dani says. “We are tal-ented in our own ways – we aremusicians, mathematicians, sci-entists, visionaries.

Distemper alertDog owners are cautioned by au-thorities to vaccinate their petsagainst Canine Distemper (CD).Last Tuesday, the Cape of Good

Hope SPCA issued an important re-minder to dog owners to vaccinateboth their puppies and older dogsagainst this aggressive disease.Wanika Rusthoi, spokesperson forthe organisation, says CD is a virus

that affects a dog’s respiratory, gas-trointestinal and central nervoussystems, as well as the conjunctivalmembranes of the eye.Noticeable signs of distemper in-

clude shedding, thick mucus dis-charge from the eyes and nose, fe-ver, lethargy and sudden vomitingand diarrhoea.“The virus does, however, have

an incubation period of two weekswherein symptoms are not noticea-ble, and somedogs are able to be car-riers of the virus without showingsymptoms themselves,” saysRusthoi. “Infection is preventablethrough up to date vaccinations.”The organisation urges dog own-

ers to ensure their pet’s vaccina-tions areup to date, including anan-

nual booster vacci-nation.“Pet owners

who take theirdogs for walks inpublic areas likeparks or beaches,should make sureto visit their vetannually for abooster vaccina-tion against this,and other viruseswhich can affecttheir dog’shealth,” she says.Rusthoi says the

Cape of GoodHope’s GorfinkelAnimal HospitalinGrassyParkhasbeen placed underquarantine for thenext four weeks.Non-emergen-

cies would be re-ferred to other ani-mal welfare organ-isations where thefacilities are unaf-fectedby thevirus.

KENSINGTON: HIGH COST OF REPLACEMENT

Crackdown on bin thievesNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Police are cracking down on theftof black dirt bins in Kensington.This comes after a spike in re-

ported thefts.Almost 20 cases have been opened af-

ter thefts of bins were reported, saysKensington police spokesperson War-rant Officer Ntombi Nqunqeka.“A theft takes place every week, and

sometimes twice a week,” she says.“The theft of dust bins is becoming amajor concern in the Kensington ar-ea.”On average the City of Cape Town re-

ceives about 1 300 reports of stolen binsa month from areas across the city,says Mayoral Committee member forUtility Services Ernest Sonnenberg.This figure is less than 1% of all the

bins being serviced eachweek, he says.“At a rate of R457.89 (excludingVAT)

per bin, the City spends about R595 400on bin replacements a month. Includ-ing VAT at 14%, that figure becomesR678 600 a month,” he says.However, the City does not cover the

cost of replacement if the theft or lossof the bin is due to negligence, warnsSonnenberg.“A tariff may be charged when the

resident is found to have been negli-gent, for example if the bin was stolenfrom the pavement on a day other thanthe scheduled refuse collection day.“In the event that a bin is stolen, the

resident must report the matter to thepolice and provide the City with eitheran affidavit or a case number relatingto the theft. If the resident provides the

affidavit or case number, and no negli-gence is found, theCitywill replace thebin at no cost.“However, where negligence is

found, the residentmay be charged therelevant replacement tariff,” he says.Sonnenberg says bins are stolen for

various reasons, including transporta-tion of goods and, given that they aremanufactured from virgin high-densi-ty polyethylene ultraviolet stabilisedraw material, they are sometimes sto-len for their recycling value.At this stage in their investigations,

the police are unsure if the bins are be-ing stolen to transport stolen goods orto sell for recycling, Nqunqeka says.Police are now taking a hard line on

the crime.“Pushing around of dust bins will

not be tolerated. If a person is foundpushing a dust bin around and fails toprove it belongs to him or her an arrestwill be effected,” she warns.Residents have also been urged to

mark their dust bins clearly with theirhouse numbers so that police can tracethe owner.“Neighbours should keep an eye on

each other’s bins as not everybody isat home during the time of refuse re-moval,” she says.Refuse containers should be kept on

the resident’s property until the sched-uled refuse collection day, adds Son-nenberg.“On the day of refuse collection, the

refuse bin should be placed out on thepavement by 06:00.“Residents should try not to leave

their bins out for longer than is neces-sary for the collection.” CRUNCH TIME: Kensington police are cracking down on the theft of refuse bins. PHOTO: NICOLE MCCAIN


CITY LANDMARK: VAGRANTS, CRIME A THREAT

Castle comesunder guardNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

One of the city’s oldest landmarks is be-ing protected – not against an on-slaught from the enemy, but against

vagrants.The board of the Castle of Good Hope has

called for the South African National De-fence Force (SANDF) to step up in securingthe heritage site.The Castle’s control board CEO, Calvyn

Gilfellan, says the board has regularly in-formed the defence department of reportedvagrancy and crime.“They, in turn, engage police and other

roleplayers who from time to time conductcrime-related operations in the affected are-as. We view the vagrancy and resultantcriminality as a socio-economic problem af-fecting the entire city and our society atlarge. We therefore support an approachthat is not only taking cognisance of the factthe people are homeless, unemployed, vul-nerable anddestitute, but one that recognis-es that a multi-disciplinary approach is re-quired,” he says.The board is mandated to conserve, pro-

mote andmanage the historic Castle, Gilfel-lan says.“I have personally escalated this matter

at national level. The board has installedCCTV in and around the historic building,tightenedupaccess control and is busywitha sponsored project to significantly im-prove the external illumination of the cas-tle. The deployed SANDF guards also per-form periodic clean-up and round-up opera-tions in the area under the bridge,” he says.Police are also carrying out a number of

operations to prevent theft out of vehiclesand muggings in the area, says Cape TownCentral Police spokesperson Captain EzraOctober.“It is a concern to the police that vehicles

of ownersworking in the surroundingareasare being broken into and people walkingto work or college are being mugged. Wehave had reports of robberies and theft outof a vehicle in Strand Street, near to wherea number of street people gather. The sus-pects were identified through CCTV videofootage during detective investigations,” hesays.However, Gilfellan says even more

crimes are taking place around the monu-ment.“We have heard reports about prostitu-

tion, car break-ins and petty theft and havefirsthand knowledge that fires are being lit,using water from the moat, littering, expo-sure in public and swearing at armyperson-nel confronting them not to trespass. I don’tbelieve the incidents relating to break-insof vehicles in Strand Street can be blamedon the homeless alone,” he says.“The fact that we have escalated this as

a risk at national level shows we view thisin a serious light.“The immediate impact is obviously rep-

utational and aesthetic, but if a seriouscrime should be committed, it will have anegative impact on our visitor numbers –around 150 000 a year. We are doing some-thing to mitigate the risk but it is also im-portant that all the citizens take ownershipand responsibility for this national heritagesite by regularly using it, thereby makingit uncomfortable for opportunistic elementsto hang around,” he says.The City of Cape Town’s Mayoral Com-

mittee member for Safety and Security JPSmith says while the police is the primaryagency responsible for crime prevention,the City’s Displaced People’s Unit, in con-junction with the City’s Social Develop-ment Department, will conduct an integrat-ed operation in the area.The City’s Social Development Depart-

ment will deploy fieldworkers to the area toassess the situation, says Mayoral Commit-tee member for Social Development andEarly Childhood Development Suzette Lit-tle.“These fieldworkers will engage with the

persons living on the street and offer to takethem to an assessment centre or a nightshelter in the area.” She says it must be not-ed the City “cannot force people to take upthe offer of assistance – this is entirely vol-untary”.Gilfellan would like to see an holistic ap-

proach to a solution. “I think if we involvethe homeless while a longer-term solutionis explored, we may curb petty crime in thearea. The reality is we cannot drive the peo-ple awaywhile offeringnoalternative.Withthe exception of a few bad elements amongthem, society at large is to blame for this so-cio-economic problem.”

EDUCATION: FUNDING FOR HALL

Cash boost for schoolNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

A Salt River primary school has re-ceived the first cash injection towardsthe building of a multi-purpose school

hall.After years of cancelling assemblies be-

cause of inclement weather and holdingmeetings in cramped classrooms, DrydenStreet Primary School recently embarkedon a fundraising initiative to raise R500 000towards the construction of a school hall(“Taking charge of their future”, People’sPost, 3 April).Principal Bayar Laattoe hopes that once

the initial amount is achieved, school man-agement aims to convince the provincial ed-ucation department to assist with furtherfunds.A recent visit from the United Kingdom

saw two teachers from Penshurst PrimarySchool arrive at the Salt River school withthe R18 000 towards the project.Governing body chairperson Colin Jooste

says: “This substantial sumis the firstmajorcash injection into the proposed R4m multi-purpose school hall project.”The schools are linked through the Afri-

twin Project, which pairs British schoolswith disadvantaged schools throughoutSouthern Africa. Pupils at partner schoolare encouraged to write to each other andbecome pen pals while teachers share skillsand ideas.The lack of a school hall is challenging,

Laattoe explains.“We have to have meetings in classrooms

and hold assembly outside in the quad. If itrains, we can’t have assembly. If we haveevents such as prizegivings, we have to hirea hall. Our pupils have to walk to one of thecommunity halls in the rain if they want topractice extra-curricular activities,” he

says.Dryden Street Primary opened 115 years

ago as a school for the children of railwayemployees.In 1908, the school moved to its current

premises and was incorporated into theschooling system by the region’s adminis-tration.In the ’50s, the area was declared a Col-

oured-onlyarea, thus forcing it tohouseonlyColoured children, Laattoe explains.Defiant of the segregation policies, the

school started accepting black pupils illegal-

ly in the ’80s and was one of the first schoolsto have a black member on the governingbody, Laattoe says.Today, the majority of pupils come from

areas such as Langa, Nyanga and Gugu-lethu.Laattoe would like to see the hall become

a community facility.“The community will have access to the

hall as a venue for weddings and functions.There are also many groups, like local CapeMalay choirs, that need a space to practiceand we’d like to have pensioners’ days.”

GIVING BACK: Pupils at Dryden Street Primary say thank you for a donation which has kickstarted funding to build a school hall. PHOTO: SUPPLIED

System aids inenrolmentsThe provincial education departmenthas launched an online system to sim-plify pupil enrolments.Work started on the School Admis-

sions Management Information (Sa-mi) system last year and saw the firstimplementation on 8 August to man-age enrolment of pupils for 2015.The system makes it easier for

schools to keep track of applicationsand share information with otherschools and officials.The education department devel-

oped the system in collaboration withthe Centre for e-Innovation (CEI) totackle the challenges of out-of-date in-formation on pupil placement, track-ing information on areas most underpressure, and the need to crosscheckmultiple waiting lists.Provincial education minister Deb-

bie Schä fer says the system is thewayforward.“Having information such as this

available to us will greatly assist us innot only ensuring pupils are placed be-fore the 2015 school year starts, butwill also assist in placing pupils whoenrol late,” she says.The systemwill show the number of

available places at a school, and thenumber of applications per grade atschool, circuit and district level.“The new system has simplified the

process considerably as schools cannowuse the system to capture applica-tions on a centralised database,”Schäfer adds.The system can generate lists of pu-

pils accepted at more than one schooland parents have until Friday 26 Sep-tember to decide which school theywould like their child to attend shouldthey be accepted at more than one.

cancer, Robyn was hospitalised for a year.She was in and out of hospital last year, andthis year she fought the second battle.Robyn last week finished her last session

WALMER ESTATE: HIGH ALERT AFTER HIJACKINGS

Residentsstand vigilantagainst crimeNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

A recent spike in crime has promptedWalmer Estate residents to look forways to increase security in the

neighbourhood.At a recent meeting, the Walmer Estate

Community Resident’s Forum addressedthe residents’ safety concerns after two hi-jackings took place recently.

U-Watch chairperson Andrew Geel saysthe area usually experiences petty crimesuch as house break-ins and theft from mo-tor vehicles. “There have also recently beenisolated instances of mugging and onesmash-and-grab case. Recently there hasbeen a spate of aggravated contact crimes,including one vehicle hijacking and two al-leged delivery truck robberies,” he says.

Forum chairperson Moosa Sydow says:“There is a great concern over the violentnature of the crimes taking place. The com-munity is calling for action, but it’s reac-tionary and we need to have a sustainablesolution or response.”

Meanwhile, Geel has called on residentsto become more active to prevent crime.“Join U-Watch and participate in patrols.Remain vigilant, share information, reportall crimes to the police and investigate dis-turbances, however small. Leave nothingin your car, keep outside lights on at night

and question people in your neighbour-hood whom you believe are acting in a sus-picious manner,” he urged.

“While U-Watch can assist with decreas-ing crime, it can never combat syndicatedcrimes such as delivery vehicle robberies.Such crimes can happen in any neighbour-hood, regardless of location. We do howeverorganise regular patrols of Walmer Estate,University Estate and Upper Woodstockand have on average of two patrols a weekin each neighbourhood,” he says.

Walmer Estate Civic Association safetyand security representative Ismail Pe-tersen echoes Geel’s advice. “The commu-nity needs to stand together and own theirstreets. There are only around 840 homesin Walmer Estate and the area is easy tocontain. Residents should patrol the streetsand call the police about any suspicious ac-tivity.”

Sydow believes a long-term approach isneeded to root out the causes of crime in thearea. “We’re calling on the community toengage in the forum’s plan for the develop-ment of the area and the possible creationof a Special Rating Area or non-profit or-ganisation which will provide cleaning andsecurity services. We’re looking for an ho-listic approach that deals with the causesof crime and risk areas affected,” he says.

Woodstock police had not commented atthe time of going to print.

EDUCATION: ONLINE PLATFORM BOOSTS STUDENT NUMBERS

Study at the clickof a mouseNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

In an attempt to make further educationmore accessible, UCT is looking online togrow classes.With the university’s facilities only allow-

ing for just over 26 000 students, virtual class-rooms are now allowing the university tomake learning available to more students,across the continent.

This follows on a report from the Centrefor Higher Education Transformation whichfound 2.7 million school leavers are not ac-cessing education, training or employment.

The university recently launched threepostgraduate diplomas online to enable stu-dents across Africa to study with interactivesupport.

The Across Africa programmes, offered byUCT’s Faculty of Commerce, in partnershipwith GetSmarter, combine the use of a flexi-ble and interactive online education plat-form with face-to-face learning.

Across Africa managing director JacquesRousseau added: “Having road-tested the

Across Africa online education platform my-self in teaching a class of 1 500 students, itis clear that students appreciate – and greatlybenefit from – the opportunity to work ontheir own schedules, as well as to receivepeer and instructor support virtually on-de-mand.”

Due to the nature of the online learningplatform, a large group of students can be ac-commodated at any given time.

While the course is currently focused onpostgraduate studies, undergraduate pro-grammes are soon to follow, says Get-Smart-er chief academic officer Rob Paddock.

“We will be introducing eight new coursesinto market by 2015 , to add to our currentportfolio of 55 courses (90% of which are pre-sented in conjunction with UCT), as well asour expanding our postgraduate pro-grammes post-2015, in partnership with theuniversity,” he says.

GetSmarter offers extensive paymentplans for their short courses and postgradu-ate programmes to allow students to pay fortheir studies over a certain period of time,Paddock says.

Rebates deadline approachesThe City of Cape Town’s social developmentand early childhood development directo-rate urges community organisations work-ing with vulnerable groups to apply for ratesrebates as soon as possible.

Shelters working with homeless peopleand homes catering for the health of physi-cally or mentally challenged individuals andvulnerable groups need to register with theCity’s Homeless Agency Committee to applyfor rebates related to rates, solid waste, waterand sanitation, and sewage by Sunday 31 Au-gust.

In the past financial year, the City has helda number of information sessions to ensureinterested organisations are informed of thisopportunity, and relevant documentationneeded and the process to be followed to qual-ify for relief for the 2014/2015 financial year.

“We’ve discovered some organisations areunaware of the policy, while others havefailed to qualify for relief because they didnot have the necessary documentation, orwere unsure of how to fill in the forms,” saidMayco member for social development andearly childhood development Suzette Little.

No fines during Book WeekAnyone who owes City of Cape Town librar-ies a fine will have a free pass during Na-tional Book Week.

It runs from Monday 1 to Sunday 7 Sep-tember with the theme Going places.

The week aims to promote and embracethe value of reading and is a joint initiativebetween the Department of Arts and Cul-ture and the South African Book Develop-ment Council, says a City statement.

During this week library patrons can re-turn overdue material to City librarieswithout having to pay fines.

The theme focuses on the power of booksand how they can take us places – both interms of progress and imagination.

Reading statistics show only 14% of theSouth African population are active bookreaders and only 5% of parents read to theirchildren.

Belinda Walker, City Mayco member forCommunity Services and Special Projects,says: “National Book Week is an importantinitiative in encouraging the nation to val-ue reading as a fun and pleasurable activityand to showcase how reading can easily beincorporated into one’s daily lifestyle.”

Returning long overdue books is some-thing everyone loathes doing, she says.

“It leaves us feeling like naughty school

children, sheepishly approaching the li-brary counter muttering excuses. But anylibrary materials returned late during Na-tional Book Week are exempt from a fine forthis week only. It provides a grace periodfor all those who have been putting off tak-ing their long overdue books back to the li-brary.”

Ninnie Steyn, director of Library and In-formation Services, says: “We know thatwith today’s fast-paced lifestyles, returninglibrary books is often just one item on a longlist of things to do. We want to provide peo-ple with an incentive to bring back forgot-ten library books.”

If you consider the numbers of books be-ing circulated by Cape Town’s libraries, it’seasy to see why keeping tabs on books is nosmall task. Cape Town boasts 100 libraries,three satellite libraries and a mobile li-brary service. Almost 12 million people vis-ited the City’s libraries during 2013 and 11.7million books were borrowed.

Nearly 90 000 new members joined theCity’s libraries in the last year and about900 000 people attended over 22 000 libraryprogrammes in the same period. These in-clude reading, literacy, gender and HIV/Aids programmes as well as storytellingsessions and DVD screenings.

CASUAL DAY: 500 ORGANISATIONS TO BENEFIT

Bling it onThe whole country is mobilising in aid

of the disabled for Casual Day on Fri-day 5 September. Have you got your

Casual Day sticker yet?Standing strong behind the cause is pre-

mier Helen Zille, a long-time advocate forpeople with disabilities.

She bought her sticker at the recent open-ing of the Women’s Achievement Networkfor Disability at Artscape theatre, whereshe said people with disabilities are oftenmarginalised and, in poorer communities,even “hidden away”.

“The challenges around disability havenot yet been fully acknowledged,” she said.“People think it begins with race and gen-der, but it is just the beginning. We havenever confronted the politics of disabilityas a society.”

She encouraged people with disabilitiesto start a movement and to free resourcesto focus on the unpreventable conditionswhich cause disability.

Casual Day is South Africa’s most suc-cessful fundraising project for people withdisabilities – the amount raised last yearhas climbed to R24.8m.

It is the flagship project of the NationalCouncil for Persons with Physical Disabili-ties in SouthAfrica (NCPPDSA), which cel-ebrates 75 years of service this year.

The proceeds collected ensure that morethan 500 organisations continue to servethe needs of persons with disabilities allover the country.

Casual Day project leader Celeste Vinas-sa says: “Casual Day has welcomed severalnew ambassadors aboard to raise aware-ness around the project and its aims.

“We aim to do the very thing that Zillesuggests – to start a movement to changetheway theworld sees (or does not see) per-sons with disabilities.

“Our ambassadors are personswith disa-bilities or people who have dedicated them-selves to supporting the disabled. They areall people who have overcome great adver-sity, and are now ready to help Casual Daywith its evolution.”

Casual Day celebrates its 20th birthdaythis year.

The theme is Bring out the Bling and thecolour for the year is Dazzle Blue. So puton your dancing shoes and dress up – notdown – for this year’s Casual Day.

Stickers, at R10, are available fromEdgars, Jet, Boardmans, CNA, Red SquareandLegit,Absa,GameandDionWired, Sho-prite andCheckers, andyoucanalsodonateonline.V Contact the organisers of the project on(011) 609 7006 or visit www.casualday.co.za.

Threeday skateboarding bonanzaIf you’re a skateboarder fan then all roadsshould lead to Canal Walk this weekendwhere top athleteswill compete for the hon-ours.

The three-day takedownof theKimberleyDiamond Cup (KDC) takes place at theshopping centre from tomorrow Friday 29to Sunday 31 August.

The KDC Grand Slam will offer threedays of non-stop skateboarding action inthe Mother City with R50 000 worth of priz-es and an all-expenses paid trip to competein the Kimberley Diamond Cup worldskateboarding championshipsup for grabs.

First-time skaters can hit the decks at theCentral Promotions Court next to the foodcourt on Friday, as part of the Skateboard-ing for Hope community outreach initia-tive. This programme is a collaboration be-tween the Northern Cape government andKumba Iron Ore as part of their commit-ment to youth development. It has benefit-ed thousands of South African youth as theroad show travels throughout the countryto promote skateboarding as a healthy andaffordable leisure activity.

Beneficiaries from the Canal Walk Foun-dation will be able to learn more about thesport of skateboarding and copy somemoves during free skate lessons between13:00 and 18:00.Open skate sessionswill runfrom 10:00-13:00 and from 18:00-21:00.

On Saturday, top skateboarders Wesley

Schroeder, Jean-marc Johannes, KhuleNgubane, Shuaib Philander and AlanMarola are expected to take part in the pre-liminary rounds.

Warm-up sessions start at10:00 with the qualifiers taking place be-tween noon and 17:00.

Skateboarder Marola is amped for theCape Town event. The skating bug bit himover 15 years ago when he was first intro-duced to skateboarding.

He has since been perfecting his skillsandMarola is confident this will be the big-gest Grand Slam event of the year. “CapeTown is definitely where it is happeningand the local skate scene is unquestionablybigger than Johannesburg or Durban, witha lot of events and skaters even movingdown to the Cape to be part of the action.KDC has had an impact as the cash prizesare definitely a huge motivation for mostskaters.

“You could actually foresee making a liv-ing out of skateboarding, which is a hugeencouragement. I’ll absolutely have a spe-cial trick up my sleeve to impress the judg-es for the wild card,” says Marola.V For more information visit www.kimberleydia-mondcup.com or follow KDC on Facebook at Kimber-leyDiamondCup or Twitter @KDiamondCup.

You can’t just say what you like. Not in person – for thosewith courage – and certainly not via social media.

Too many people think – mistakenly – that Facebook,Twitter and Instagram allow individuals and groups freereign to speak their mind. Not so.

This is the thinking of unintelligent cowardice thathides behind security settings. Anonymity on social me-dia is an illusion.

It is also a domain that, contrary to any attempts at se-crecy or even use of code language, can and is circumvent-ed.

How so? Because, free speaker, people talk. Even thoseindividuals some may consider close associates spill thebeans when their own safety, job security or status in soci-ety – however imagined – is threatened.

Who, then, stands on the side of the free speaker? Lookaround you and count them. Perhaps not even one?

There have been court cases in which people who ventvia social media have been brought to book.

A group of Strandfontein girls have found out how de-meaning others can be when their photos were used onFacebook to harm their character.

The photos were found to have been sourced from thegirls’ own Facebook posts and reused elsewhere withouttheir permission or even knowledge. This Facebook pagehas subsequently been closed.

Is there really such a place or space where people cansay just as they please? Hardly likely when the aim is todemean, break down the character of another for whatev-er criminal or petty reason, or simply because they thinkthey can get away with it.

The hour glass turns against such actions. Beyond thesheer childishness of it, there is a resident evil that re-sides within the character of a person who seeks redressthrough social media. Then, again, if Facebook is youronly friend, such people should seriously look in the mir-ror. Actions, like cyber-bullying, have consequences.

Home is in good handsIt has been almost three years since I walkedthrough the doors of the Kensington Homefor the Aged to take over the operationalmanagement of the home. It was during thistime when the local community made thecomment that “donations would enter thefront door and exit through the back door ofthe home”.

Together with the board of managementwe have worked very hard to change the neg-ative perceptions that have prevailed. I cannow state with the utmost confidence thatvery stringent measures have been put inplace to ensure every single donation or con-tribution is recorded and distributed accord-ingly. The donor is also immediately issuedwith a receipt in acknowledgement of the do-nation. This system ensures that the dona-tion reaches the intended recipients whichare our aged residents.

An indication that the management of ourdonations is working effectively is the factthat during July we did not have to purchaseany food provisions at all.

The donations which we received wereenough to sustain the residents for the dura-

tion of the month. We are most grateful toour faithful donors and the wider communi-ty in the Western Cape for having made thispossible.

I am also very pleased to advise that theupgrading of the home is in the pipeline.

Thanks to an undertaking from a promi-nent corporate, the home will undergo ex-tensive re-modelling by a team of architectsto ensure it meets first-world standards.

Although the home is dependent on thegenerosity and goodwill of benefactors andthe local community, the managementboard and staff make every effort to generatean income through fundraising events.

We appeal to our local community to sup-port our fundraising events.

There will be a Spring ball in the Kensing-ton Civic Centre on Friday 19 September andour high tea in the Good Shepherd Parishhall on Sunday 9 November.

District Six: plea for justiceI write this with sadness and sorrow in myheart. I listened to many other peoples’s sor-row and pain as we peacefully picketed inHanover Street on Saturday.

It was indeed a great injustice for us, thepeople of District Six, who had also forceful-ly been removed.

In District Six we lived in peace and har-mony with one another, regardless of ourcreed, traditions and race.

I attended St Marks School, part of theland CPUT is currently occupying.

Though I’m Muslim we attended St MarksChurch every Friday or Thursday, and wesimply could not wait for these days becausewe would only return after the maths peri-od.

I have such good memories as a child liv-ing in District Six.

I look up at Table Mountain and I clearlyremember as a child when the white cloudsdescended, our parents uttered these words:“Daar kom die wit tafeldoek oor die berg.”

I always tell my children that we grew upin the shadow of Table Mountain.

Then I look at the students arriving bybus, some of them are not from Cape Town,and I wonder if they know anything aboutour suffering and pain when we were force-fully removed, and the history of DistrictSix, not to mention that we once lived therein peace and harmony.

Please don’t get me wrong, I have nothingagainst the students. I’m all for education.Education is power, and these young peopleare determined to learn. They are the futureleaders.

They should be the ones bringing aboutchange for the betterment of the poor andneedy and especially the injustices.

I believe without a doubt the land of Dis-trict Six belongs to the people who oncelived there. People shed many tears whenthey were removed.

The land claims ministry must realise thegreat difficulties and sorrow people suffered

when they were removed from District Sixand elsewhere.

There are many stories to be told.If the management of CPUT is just, why

not give back of the vacant land that right-fully belongs to the people of District Six?Why not build a residence elsewhere?

My mom is 88 years of age; my dad passedon. She is still deprived of moving back toher beloved District Six. When she asked meon my return after picketing, what was saidI could not answer her as we were refusedentry.

I could see her eyes brimming with tears.Human dignities must be restored.We are not asking for much; we just want

justice to prevail and live in peace and har-mony with one another again in District Six.Though we know things will never be thesame again, just to live in our beloved Dis-trict Six again will bring so much joy andhappiness to our hearts.JAMINA SALIE

Help futuredrivers to passSchool children need only 30% to pass mat-ric.

When I went for my motorbike learner’slicence I had to stand in a long queue to fillin forms and then have an eye test. Fromthere it was back to a long queue and thenget a driver’s learner test date months in ad-vance.

As the standards are high I failed and be-came despondent. I could not help wonder-ing how many other potential learners, afterfailing, drive illegally.

I believe there has to be another approachto these tests. I propose that all potentiallearners have to have an eye test and pay asmall fee to attend a two-hour class given bya competent teacher. On attending this classa certificate must be issued. Two days laterthe learners are to be subjected to anotherclass for an hour and then given a test.

If they fail this process should be repeatedtwo days later. I believe this will encouragelearners to get their licence and that nega-tive comments will be a thing of the past.KEITH BLAKE

FUGARD THEATRE: ANNUAL GALA FEATURES TOP ACT

Zebra and Giraffe set to rockThe Africa Voices Trust is proud to

present their annual gala concert at theFugard Theatre in Cape Town on Mon-

day 8 September.This year’s concert will feature award-

winning programme graduates Zebra andGiraffe who will be performing a unique un-plugged and stripped-down show includingnew material off their latest release Knuck-les.

Lead singer and founder Greg Carlin saysthe Africa Voices programme has opened upa new world to them. “It has taught us newways of thinking about our music, from howwe produce it to how we perform it. The pro-gramme has re-energised the band in wayswe never thought possible,” he says.

“I’ve personally learnt more in the pastfew months than I’ve learnt in my entiretime in the music industry. The programmehas demystified so many aspects of whatmakes music successful, powerful and glo-bally accessible. It’s knowledge that’s beingoffered nowhere else in South Africa.”

In the six years since Zebra and Giraffeperformed their first show to an exultantcrowd at Oppikoppi in 2008, the band haveheadlined all of South Africa’s major festi-vals.

They have also toured the length andbreadth of the country and performed along-side The Killers, Snow Patrol, Oasis, Sum41,The Prodigy and Panic at the Disco. In 2009

they were invited to perform live at the MTVAfrica Music Awards in Nairobi, Kenya, andin 2011 performed at MusExpo in Los Ange-les.Knuckles is the fourth studio release from

Zebra and Giraffe, following their albumCollected Memories in 2008, which producedseven Top10 singles and won a SAMA for

Best Rock Album.Carlin says Africa has talent and an abun-

dant wealth of exciting musical talent thatneeds to be nurtured.

The money from the group’s gala concertwill go towards the Africa Voices Trust, anon-profit organisation created to supportthe development of highly talented and de-

serving young African musicians and sing-ers across all styles and genres. The primarygoal of the trust is to identify, educate andgrow future stars and to empower them tocreate financially sustainable and meaning-ful careers.

“Africa Voices doesn’t just aim to teachthe participants valuable skills; but to iden-tify and nurture leadership potential, to sup-port entrepreneurial spirit and to activelyinspire and empower them to take responsi-bility for their role as future standard bear-ers in the growth of the African music indus-try,” Carlin says.

There is no academic requirement to gainentry to the programme. The financial inca-pability to pursue academic studies, regard-less of talent and ambition, is an unfortunatereality in South Africa, which results ingreat talent falling by the wayside.

All the recording, performance and careerdevelopment programmes presented by theAfrica Voices Trust are offered free ofcharge to successful participants, as thetrust actively raises all funds required to fa-cilitate these opportunities.

All proceeds of the gala concert with Zebraand Giraffe on Monday 8 September will gotowards the work of the Africa Voices Trust.Tickets range between R100 and R140. Tobook call (021) 461 4554 or visit www.com-puticket.com. Special discounts for Friendsof the Fugard Theatre and students.

Rock musical set to blast offSouth Africa’s biggest, fully orchestrat-ed, technologically sophisticated rockmusical production, Rockville 2069, willhave its world premiere with the CapeTown Philharmonic Orchestra (CPO) atArtscape Opera House this month.

Set during the 100th anniversary ofWoodstock, Rockville 2069 is a love storyset against the backdrop of a post-apoca-lyptic world.

Featuring a cast of 25 with lead singerJoseph Clark (of Queen at the Opera) andthe Kyle Petersen seven-piece rock band,it combines artists and musicians fromdifferent cultural and musical back-grounds to bring a new, sometimes dis-cordant, always thrilling voice to the mu-sical scene.

The lead roles will be played by JosephClark (Papa), Vicki Jayne (Mama),Stephan Van Huyssteen (JohnnyReb)and Josie Piers (Danielle). With fast mov-ing scene changes, the use of 3D anima-tion and a 100 square metre LED screen,technology plays a key role in creating

this believable, constantly shifting pro-duction.Rockville 2069 has been in the making

for five years and is the brainchild ofcomposer, Johnny Ray and tells the storyof an earth destroyed by man’s neglectand climate change. Only Rockville, asmall archipelago of islands, survivesand is now home to a group of peace-lov-ing rockers, sound technicians and musi-cians.

“The addition of the CPO is a show-stopping element”, says Johnny Ray,“and we know that all theatre manage-ment eyes are on this production whichwe hope to take from Cape Town to therest of the world.”

The show runs from Friday 29 Augustto Saturday 7 September 2014.V Tickets range from R100 to R290 and are availa-ble from Computicket or Artscape Dial-a-Seat on(021) 421 7695. The Rockville 2069 graphic noveland CD are available through EMI or online atwww.rockville2069.com and from The Greek Mer-chant at all the shows.

Postapocalyptic musical, Rockville 2069 premieres at the end of the month.

An operatic journey of note!Cape Town Opera and the UCT Opera Schoolwill be restaging Rossini’s critically ac-claimed zany comic opera, Il Viaggio aReims (The Journey to Reims), from Tuesday26 to Saturday 30 August for five perform-ances only.

This not-to-be-missed exuberant comedywith its glorious music returns to the BaxterTheatre where it played to full houses andreceived standing ovations in 2010.

Set in a chic airport hotel lobby, fourteenfashion-loving B-list celebrities, each suffer-ing from a different extreme obsession, findthemselves stranded en route to a corona-tion. While waiting in transit this interest-ing motley of self-styled European celebri-ties including a fashion crazed Parisian; aGerman music lover; a Russian Count anda famous Italian singer turn boredom andfrustration into a highly entertaining meleeas their on-going obsessions and flirtations

unfolds into arguments which lead to panicattacks and even the odd fainting spell.

Members of the Cape Town Opera Studioand students from the UCT Opera Schoolmake an enthusiastic and multi-talentedcast who are keenly working with the show’screative team which comprises of MatthewWild- regarded at one of South Africa’s mostprolific theatre directors- renowned conduc-tor, Kamal Khan with set and costume de-sign by two-time Fleur Du Cap nominatedartist, Leopold Senekal and lighting by Ko-bus Burger. Award-winning choreographer,Sean Bovim, has previously choreographedthree productions for the UCT Opera Schooland he welcomes the opportunity to contin-ue working with its students and Cape TownOpera in Il Viaggio a Reims.V Tickets cost R140 and R190 and are available atComputicket.

FRINGE FESTIVAL: FULL PROGRAMME FOR INAUGURAL EVENT

Embracing the bestThe inaugural Cape Town Fringe Festi-

val is set to offer two weeks of rivetingtheatre when it takes off at the end of

September.Produced by the National Arts Festival

(NAF) team and supported by the City ofCape Town and StandardBank, performanc-eswill takeplace in speciallydevised theatrespaces, including the iconic City Hall.A total of 89 productions are confirmed as

the core of the Fringe’s programme. The se-lected shows represent a blend of work thatis “old and new, tried, tested, opportunistic,comfortable, familiar, edgy and daring” ac-cording to NAF artistic director, Ismail Ma-homed.He says festival organisers selected a few

more productions than they initially intend-ed when they were looking through the pro-posals, even mentally assigning them to thevenues and finding innovative ways to ac-commodate more shows.Mahomed added: “Roughly half the pro-

ductions selected are theatre, while the restare evenly spread across music, physicaltheatre, performance art, and comedy.”From the outset organisers had been anx-

ious to ensure that the Cape Town Fringegets established as predominantly a theatrefestival. He points out that there are alreadyseveral long-standing, successful single-gen-re festivals in Cape Town that cover comedyand jazz so organisers were wary of replicat-ing them.“Wewanted to focus onwork that is bound

together by a cheeky outlook and an irrever-ent but mature take on life in South Africa,”Mahomed says.Among the productions listed, are a few

which recently drew accolades in Graham-stown and which will be presented in CapeTown for the first time.The idea was to present productions that

audiences were comfortable with alongsidesome that would get tongues wagging.Foremost among those expected to raise

some eyebrows is rising star Gavin Krastin,whose groundbreaking piece #omnomnom,defies categorisation and is designed to takeaudiences to new levels of discomfort.

AmeeraPatel’s award-winningWhistle Stop,Rob Murray’s Crazy in Love and JemmaKahn in Amateur Hour! are all expected tobe drawcards for this festival.The Cape Town Fringe is also providing

a platform to various Cape Town institu-tions like ASSITEJ SA and PANSA to show-case their work.V The inaugural Cape Town Fringe will run from Thurs-day 25 September until Saturday 5 October 2014. Formore information visit www.capetownfringe.co.za.

Adieu for MaasAfter heading one of SouthAfri-ca’s most productive theatrecompanies for more than 18years, Artscape CEO MichaelMaas, has decided to retire.The 58-year-old Maas, who

lives in Plattekloof, will be step-ping down in October.Maas joined the institution in

1996 when it was still known asthe Cape Performing ArtsBoard (Capab).He was responsible for driv-

ing the transformation processof the company into a modern,vibrant, multi-cultural institu-tion.“I have achieved the goals

that I had set out for the growthof Artscape,” Maas says. “Theinstitution is now on a strongfooting and it is time to intro-ducenewblood to takeArtscapeforward.”At the end of 2012, Artscape

announced a multi-millionrand plan to revamp the 43-year-old complex into a compre-hensive cultural facility with adistinctive African persona.Duringhis tenure,Maas over-

saw the restructuring of an or-ganisation with more than 800personnel into an efficientstreamlined company with lessthan 100 permanent staff.Artscape has become known

for its varied arts productionsencompassing all genres,whichmake up its annual performingarts programme. In addition, ithas developed programmescommitted to training, the ex-ploration of new South Africanworks, development and educa-tion, rural outreach andschools’ programmes, to ensurethat future generations contin-ue to grow and nurture thecountry’s diverse cultural her-itage.While Maas says it isn’t al-

ways easy to leave something soclose to your heart, he will en-sure a smooth transition to thenew CEO who is still to be ap-pointed.

“I wish to thank the board,staff andpatrons ofArtscape fortheir tremendous support overthe past 18 years. The institu-tion has what it takes to stepboldly into the future,” he says.Chairperson of the Artscape

council, Dr Somadoda Fikeni,says the council acknowledgesand appreciates Maas’ longservice atArtscape, andhis rolein steering the entity from itstransition from Capab.He says the organisational re-

alignment made it possible tohave a high performing, effec-tive organisation poised to un-dergo further fundamentaltransformation.“We also appreciate the fact

that he is passing the baton af-ter having made his mark, asign of a foresighted leader whoplaces the interest of the organi-sation higher that those of him-self. I would like to wish him allthe best in his future assign-ments.” .

FAREWELL: Michael Maas isretiring after 18 years as Artscape’s CEO.

PEOPLE'S POST | WOODSTOCK | MAITLANDThursday, 28 August 2014 SPORT 15

TASMIN CUPIDO@TazzCup

The challenge for the WP Rugby’s SuperLeague A Grand Challenge trophy cul-minates this weekend.

But the UCT boys will have their titlehopes and fate in the hands of one of theirbiggest rivals, Hamiltons RFC, as the menfrom Green Point travel to Stellenbosch totake on Maties on Saturday.The Ikey Tigers played their final match

of the first round, which determines the ulti-matewinners of the top tier of Cape club rug-by, when they took on Victorians in Stellen-bosch last Friday evening.And they continued with the superb form

they have shown throughout the season,thumpingVics 20-71 at theDanieCravenSta-dium.Going into this weekend’s clashes, Ikeys,

who will not be in action this weekend, willremain at the top of the league – just threepoints ahead of Maties.But Hammies, who are currently in third

place on 56 points, will face amammoth taskon Saturday. Maties are the only unbeatenteam in the league and will look to snatchthe top spot and trophy from their arch ri-vals – especially after their losses to UCT inthe Varsity Cup.

The Maties/Hammies encounter will un-doubtedly be the biggest clash of the SLA.The other SLA results of Southern Sub-

urbs teams last weekend: SK Walmers vsDurb-Bell 5-68; Hammies vs Tygerberg 45-19;False Bay vs Bellville 68-0; Primrose vs Mat-ies 17-50.ThisweekendSouthernSuburbswill be in

action in the following SLAmatches: Matiesvs Hamiltons; UWC vs Primrose; Victoriansvs SK Walmers; False Bay vs NNK.

V In Super League B, the biggest clash thisweekendwill see Villager RFC host Sir Low-rians in a top-of-the-table clash in Clare-mont.The Dirty Whites will look to improve on

their 7-5 victory overPnielVillagers last Fri-day evening. The match will also determinethe SLBwinner and automatic SLAcontend-er for next weekend.Meanwhile, Surrey Estate Rangers will

travel to the Northern Suburbs to take onBrackenfell RFC. Rangers will look to puttheir 12-24 loss to rivalsCollegians lastweek-end behind them as they tackle a side accus-tomed to playing at their muddy home.The Surrey Estate side are still awaiting

the outcome of their scheduled matchagainst Sir Lowrians two weeks ago. Thematch was called off by the referee as thefield was deemed unsuitable for play. WP

Rugbyhas yet tomake a decision on themat-ter.Collegians will look to continue their win-

ning momentum as they host GoodwoodRFC in Lentegeur.

V In Super League C Violets RFC contin-ued their winning form when they beatRaithbyUniversals 23-19 atChukkerRoad inLansdowne last Saturday; MIT Rangerswere defeated 7-11 by Stellenbosch-Corona-tions; and Silvertree RFC played to an 18-18stalemate with Northerns at Malta Park inSybrand Park.This weekend sees the following Southern

Suburbs teams in action in SLC: Fran-schhoek United vs Violets; Northerns vsMIT Rangers; and Silvertree vs Strand.

Success for ASD at Engen KOTASMIN CUPIDO

@TazzCup

ASDCape Townhave lifted theirmaidenEngen Knockout Challenge trophy af-ter beating Liverpool-Portland FC in

the tournament final at the weekend.The Claremont-based side scored one goal

to none to be crowned the Cape’s best under-17 team at Stephan Reagan Sports Complexin Westridge, Mitchell’s Plain on Sunday 24August.The lone goal came from theboot of striker

Caleb Sampson.The 11th edition of the tournament, of

which People’s Post is the print media spon-sor, saw 16 teams from across the peninsulavie for the coveted title, hefty cash prize andtrophy.The final was an evenly contested affair,

despite ASD, who were the losing finalistslast year, dominating both the territory andpossession statistics throughout the match.The local lads fromPortlandwere the first

side to bother the goalkeeper in the firstquarter, as a strike from outside the boxwassaved by ASD goalkeeper Darren Johnson.The shot brushed Johnson’s fingertips andwent out for a corner.The corner kick was punched out by the

goalkeeper as he moved out of the box andthe deflection fell into the lap of a Liverpool-Portland player, who struck a shot on thevolley.But his shot hit the crossbar.In the secondquarter,ASDagaindominat-

ed the statistics and started to put the pres-sure on the Liverpool-Portland defence.While they managed to penetrate the defen-sive line, their attacks on goal were dealt

with by the Liverpool-Portland goalkeeper,who was the team’s stand-out performer.At the death of the first half, ASD threat-

ened to score again, but the Liverpool-Port-land ’keeperwas again up to the task, savinghis side from going into the half-time breaka goal down.The second half continued as the first,

with both teamsmanaging to break throughthe other’s defence, but their weak shots ongoal were easily kept away from the net byboth goalkeepers.Twelve minutes into the half Liverpool-

Portland and their fans were celebrating asthey thought they had scored the openinggoal when a shot found the net.But their celebrations were short-lived as

referee Jerome Damon blew his whistlewhen the assistant referee found the “goals-corer” to be offside.A fewminutes later, the tournamentmade

history as the first female referee, NoleneSwarts, took over the whistle from Damonwho was injured during the course of thematch.And it was just five minutes later that

Sampson sunk the hopes of Liverpool-Port-land and their supporters, bringing an endto their dream run.ASD will now represent the Cape at the

EngenChampsofChamps inSoweto inOcto-ber. They will take on PE Sundowns, Ama-Zulu, Harmony Academy, Supersport Unit-ed Academy and Bidvest Wits Juniors, whoall won the Engen Knockout Challenge intheir respective regions.This year’s Cape Town Challenge lived up

to its theme of Be Your Best, as several play-ers stood out throughout the weekend. Hel-lenic FC’s Riyaaz Ismail was named the de-fender of the tournament for his modern-style of play, marshalling his team andaiding on attack when necessary.The best striker was Glendene United’s

Jody Jansen, who scored eight goals, heldthe ballwell and ran into spaces. Hewas alsothe tournament’s top goalscorer.Johnson, who conceded only three goals

throughout the weekend, was named goal-keeper of the tournament, while ChippaUnited’s Heinrich van Zyl was rewarded forthe tournament’s first hat-trick and quick-est goal.The player of the tournament was also

named thebestmidfielder –AtlanticNacion-al’s Robyn-Lee Baatjies walked away withboth accolades.Grassy Park’s Crusaders FC won the fair

play team of the tournament award for theirexemplary discipline on and off the field;Liverpool-Portland coach Mark Brown woncoach of the tournament; andMandizeMziziof Cape District LFA was named referee ofthe tournament.V For more photos of the Engen Knockout Challenge,visit www.peoplespost.co.za.
