Affordable housingmay replace theunsight-ly and underused Woodstock Hospital if aplan by the City of Cape Town is approved.The hospital currently accommodates a

small clinic, which is scheduled to be closedand relocated to another site in Zonneblo-em.Council has requested the provincial

health department transfers the land intotheirhands, allowing for development of res-idential units, says Mayoral Committeemember for Human Settlements TandekaGqada.“We hope to createmore housing opportu-

nities and to boost the local economythrough development,” she says.After the clinic moves, the property will

be completely empty.

“Provincial government has put the prop-erty out to tender, hoping it could be devel-oped but no adequate interest was received.Rather than letting it remain unused, thislandcanbeused to relieve thehousing short-age in the area. Its use will also contributesignificantly to social integration in thecity,” she says.Council plans to take over the property

once the provincial Cabinet makes the for-mal decision to “alienate” it, Gqada con-firms. “The provincial governmentwas hop-ing to get the private sector to develop an in-tegrated, mixed-use project. They did notfind a suitable investor, which means thatState funds would have to be used for devel-opment. The precise nature of the develop-ment has not been confirmed, but whateverit is, it is limited by the availability of gov-ernment funds.”The transfer process is still in the early

stages, says provincialDepartment ofTrans-port and Public Works spokesperson Al-Ameen Kafaar.

“It’s still early in the process, as the pre-scribed approval of the relevant authoritieswithin provincial government and the Cityof Cape Town must still be obtained,” hesays.Amulti-million rand District Six Commu-

nity Health Centre will commence construc-tion this year in Zonnebloem.The development of a new R65m wellness

centre was announced by Premier HelenZille last year at a key handing-over ceremo-ny in the former District Six.The healthcare centre will cater to pa-

tients from Salt River, Woodstock, Vrede-hoek, Zonnebloem and the CBD, as well asresidentsmoving back to the formerDistrictSix.MountainRoadPrimary is across the road

from the hospital, and principal NatashaPedro says she will be sad to see it go.“I understand the appeal of building hous-

ing, as property in the area is scarce. But thehospital has served this community for sucha long time. We have a good relationshipwith the hospital and they always treat ourchildren. It’s going to have a big impact onthe community,” she says.Pedro adds that while some sections of the

building may look dilapidated, renovationshave been carried out on the sections stillin use.Woodstock Outreach Community Forum

spokesperson Rashaad Martin says the or-ganisation originally objected to the move.“Now people will have to travel to the City

Bowl for hospital treatment,” he says.“There is a need for housing in the area,

but it will have to be affordable housing. I’minterested to seewhat the City has planned.”

New ways of reducing the spread of TB arebeing explored.

This includes shortening the waiting pe-riod for results and access to treatment.

The high prevalence of HIV has signifi-cant impact on the TB epidemic, says May-oral Committee member for Health Lung-iswa James.

“Our target is to get patients on TB treat-ment within five days. This is calculatedfrom the day sputum is taken and sent fortesting until the time the patient receivestheir first dose of treatment,” she says.

Last year 72% of patients at City clinicswere started on treatment within five days.Council is now looking to increase this fig-ure to 85%.

“Cape Town has seen a steady reduction

in the incidence of TB. Reported figures ofTB incidence have decreased from 877/100000 in 2009 to 705/100 000 in 2012. This dropis particularly impressive in the light of theconcomitant HIV epidemic,” James says.

The first new TB diagnostic test, GeneX-pert, was promoted by the World Health Or-ganisation in 2010 and South Africa was thefirst country to immediately roll out thenew test for all people who presented TBsymptoms.

James says this new diagnostic test wasrecently added at all State laboratories.

“This test is not only more sensitive in di-agnosing TB, but it also indicates whetherthe TB is resistant to Rifampicin, which willimmediately see the patient being startedon an alternate TB regimen,” she says.

“The laboratory processes the GeneXperttest within two to six hours, so patients canreceive their TB test results the next day.”

James says previously the smear testused for TB diagnosis failed to detect the dis-ease in about one out of three people and afollow-up sputum culture had to be request-ed, taking up to six weeks for the laboratoryto produce results.

“To increase the value of the improvedtesting programme, we will be identifyingand looking at ways to address bottleneckshindering patients from receiving treat-ment promptly,” she says.

James encourages all patients who wereat City clinics with TB symptoms to returnto the facility for their results within twodays.

Renewed surge in battle against TB


He is not a billionaire playboy by day and hemost certainly doesn’t dress as a flying rodentto patrol the city at night.

Yet Earl Fischhoff definitely qualifies forhero status.

Fischhoff is a plumber but after hours hewears his blue shirt and lapels, tightens thelaces on his boots and straps on his gun to dohis bit to keep the city safe.

He is one of 39 volunteer Law Enforce-ment auxiliary officers.

The tradesman gives of his free time toswell the number of staff on duty.

The volunteers boost operational capaci-ty and put more feet on the ground withoutmaking a dent in the City of Cape Town’sbudget.

Fischhoff is an example of active citizen-ship at work.

Community firstHe joined his local neighbourhood watch

five years ago.“One night I arrived home to find my

house swarming with police. I assumed theworst, but it turned out they were lookingfor a criminal between the four houses andwere searching mine. He fortunatelywasn’t in my home and we spotted him ona neighbour’s property. I joined the neigh-bourhood watch the next day,” he says.

Keeping his neighbourhood safe grew in-to a passion, and Fischhoff was hoping tobecome a police reservist before he heardabout the auxiliary officer positions.

“This has more appeal because you go onarea specific patrols. You can patrol inyour own neighbourhood. The police cansend you anywhere.”

Hands onWhile Fischhoff tends to cover the City

Bowl, he has on occasion been called up toserve in other areas.

“Council needed escorts into Nyanga af-ter receiving reports that there would bea demonstration on the N2. We drove deepinto the area to escort council workers.They found 30 to 40 portable toilets full offaeces, and we then escorted them as theyremoved it to a sewage facility. I’ve still gotthat smell up my nose. It was terrible!”

There have been occasions where hisschedule tinking about with cranky plumb-ing and keeping the city’s streets safe hasoverlapped. “During a beach patrol, the toi-lets broke. A plumber had been out to fixthem but hadn’t done a very good job, soI fixed them. There I was, in my full uni-form, busy fixing the plumbing in the mid-dle of the December period,” he says.

Fischhoff’s time on the neighbourhoodwatch prepared him well for the task heperforms.

While on a watch patrol, he became sus-picious of a car and followed it after callingin backup.

The car stopped and two men got out, at-tacking a pedestrian and mugging him.

“My colleague chased the car and I went

to help the victim. When I got to him, therewas blood running down his leg. They hadstabbed him, and nicked a main artery.When the robbers (tried to escape), therewas just a wall of police vehicles and no-where to go. I spent two hours in the dockand they all received a sentence of 10 years,”he says.

The family manBalancing family life, work and volunteer-

ing can be a handful, but Fischhoff alwaysputs family first. “I have dinner with myfamily every night and spend time withthem. When they all go to sleep around 22:00,I go out. Or if they’re watching a soapie, Ithink ‘No thanks, that’s not for me. I’d ratherbe out there making a difference’,” he says.

He is enormously proud that his twodaughters are following in his footsteps.

“My eldest daughter Ashley is very in-volved with community work and outreachprogrammes at her school. She’s 17 and inthe running for a gold President’s Award.My youngest, Robyn, is 14 and a bit tooyoung for that, but she always asks me if shecan join me on patrols,” he says.

While he loves having the company of hisdaughter, Fischhoff is always careful to en-sure their safety.

Fischhoff’s wife of 28 years, Sylvia, doesworry about his well-being, he confesses.

“But I always go out protected,” he says.

All in a day’s workAuxiliary officers tackle a range of com-

plaints, says Mayoral Committee memberfor Safety and Security JP Smith.

Grievances can range from barking dogsto house break-ins, and officers can receivearound 12 complaints in a day shift.

Although volunteers, auxiliary officershave been trained extensively in the law andare able to carry out searches and arrests.They have also been trained to carry a fire-arm.

“We’re looking to add powers to the LawEnforcement officers which will allow themto enforce the Liquor Act, search for stolengoods and enforce sections of the Traffic Act.As is, an auxiliary officer can impound yourcellphone or arrest you for declining to obeyany Law Enforcement officer,” he says.

Smith hopes to increase the number ofauxiliary officers to around 400 over the nextyear or two, with an intake of 40 officers eve-ry three months.

Candidates need to pass a physical assess-ment and a medical evaluation and are ex-pected to work a minimum of 16 hours permonth.

Application forms are available at LawEnforcement and Subcouncil offices. For en-quiries call (021) 444 8235.

“This house is vrot! I can’t buy a house likethis.”Lugmag Avenue Janet Dick is nothing

short of offended.She is one ofmanyFactreton residents of-

fered to buy their council-owned homes.The City of Cape Townmade the offer to 108families living in the area.Andnot all are enchantedwith thenotion

of buying decaying dwellings from theCity.Cracks, loose bricks, damp foundations

and leaking roofs are common problems.And residents are angry.Matilda Patterson has lived in her Alba-

core Road home for 57 years, dutifully pay-ing rent to council every month.However, she lives in fear that the walls

will collapse and injure, if not kill, her fami-ly.“The walls are crumbling. You can take

the bricks out of the wall, they’re so loose,”says the seething grandmother.“I’mworried because we have small chil-

dren living in this house. When they openthe door the bricks could fall on them.”Patterson says she has reported the wear

and tear to her local rent office on numer-ous occasions, but they are yet to be attend-ed.Crumblingwalls are only oneof the risks.Dick blames her deteriorating health on

her council-owned house’s poor founda-tion.“The foundation is not right. It gets damp

and it stinks. It makes us all sick. There arealso brokendoors andwindows. I’ve report-ed the issues, but they never get repaired,”she fumes.Mayoral Committee Member for Human

Settlements TandekaGqada says each timea complaint for repairs is received the De-partment of Housing Maintenance investi-gates thematter and arranges for the neces-sary repairs to be made.There are 108 saleable rental units in Fac-

treton, says Gqada, and the selling pricesrange between R5 000 and R17 500.Community leader Jimmy Xalipi esti-

mates that over 100 of the houses in the areaare in a deplorable state and although thehouses are up for sale, many have not beenrenovated since they were built.“Many have the old asbestos roofs, which

have now cracked. There are problems withfoundation, cracks in the walls and brokenwindows and doors. The tenants pay theirrent every month, and report the problems,but it seems difficult for the City to come fixthem,” he says.A large proportion of the council house ten-

ants are elderly or do not have a steady in-come, Xalipi says.“They are old and poor. They don’t have

money to buy houses that are falling apart.I’ve submitted a report of council to makethem aware of the situation and am waitingfor a response,” he says.Xalipi believes the houses should be hand-

ed over to the tenants for free, with the provi-so that they carry out any necessary renova-tions themselves.Residents say the ongoing maintenance

problems keep them from buying the houses.According to Gqada, the prospective pur-

chaser must be the registered tenant of theproperty, and must occupy the dwellingwhen applying to purchase and may not ownany property or vacant land.All renovations will be added to the cost of

the council house, she adds.“Should renovations be carried out to a

dwelling prior to the sale of the property, thecost thereof will be added to the sellingprice.”This response has left Patterson fuming.“I’m angry. They say we must pay for it in

the cost of thehouse, but these are things theyaremeant to repair for free because it’s coun-cil’s house!Would I buy this house? Noway!”

EXCITING OPPORTUNITIES FOR PERSONS WHO WANT TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE

The toddler is a social butterfly,but while those who know her con-sider her a chatterbox, the wordsshe utters are barely distinguisha-ble.Azraa Jacobs (3) is deaf. Only

about R40 000 stands between herand the ability to hear.

Her single-mother MareldiaAdonis (27) has to dock up themon-ey to have her toddler fitted witha cochlear implant.It is hoped the operation will be

done later this year.The procedure will cost R218 000

for one ear, andMareldia is forcedto host fundraisers for the deficitas the medical aid will only coverR170 000 for the operation.The cochlear implant will have

to be done on both ears of the littlewhirlwind, who was declared deafat the age of two.However, only one will be done

this year.Mareldia initially noticed her

daughter wasn’t developing as fastas her other tots her age whilewatching her interact with a cous-in.“I got really worried when I saw

mynephewandher playing togeth-er. He would speak in longer sen-

tences than her and they were thesame age,” she says.After having tests done and be-

ing referred to Red Cross Chil-dren’s Hospital, it was confirmedthat she was deaf, more so in theleft than in the right ear.Hearing aids were then fitted to

Azraa in April last year when shewas two years old.The tot has since been enrolled

at the Carel du Toit Centre inParow where she receives speechtherapy and help is given to helpher improve her oral communica-tion.Mareldia says since her daugh-

ter started at the centre her speechhas definitely improved.“She uses small words and will

communicate in one or two words.It’s much easier to understand hernow,” she says.Since Azraa has been at the spe-

cial needs school, her mother feelsmore equipped and confident inhelping her daughter develop. TheCarel du Toit Centre hosts parentclasses and all caregivers are givensupport onhow tohelp the child de-velop away from the facility.Although she knows there is a

long road ahead before Azraa isable to communicate and listenwith ease, Mareldia is optimistic.“The sooner she is able to hear, the

sooner she will then also be ableto speak, read and write. This, inturn, means she will be able to at-tend a mainstream school,” shesays.Mareldia will be hosting fund-

raisers in the buildup to Azraa’soperation and urges all to attendto help raise the required funds.So far she has only been able to

raise R10 000 through variousevents.Carel du Toit Centre principal

Ruth Bourne explains that a coch-lear implant is very different froma hearing aid. “Hearing aids am-plify soundwhereas a cochlear im-plant changes the sound signal in-to an electrical signal which issent to the brain so the person can‘hear’,” she says.Children who have a cochlear

implant done, Bourne explains,are those children who are so deafthat they cannot benefit from themost powerful hearing aids.The implant, however, is not a

“magic formula”.“It provides the basic sound in-

formation and a lot ofwork is need-ed to help the child to use that in-formation. Left without any inter-vention, the implant will make nodifference,” she explains.Conditions for eligibility is that

an implantmust be done before the

age of three years if a child hasbeen born deaf. Parent involve-ment and therapeutic support arealso very important.“Unfortunately many children

cannot have an implant done dueto a lack of finances. Acquiringspoken language is then very diffi-cult for them – although not impos-sible – as they have to rely solely

on lip reading. Sign languagewould be a good alternative,”Bourne adds.V Stellenbosch University opened a trustfor Azraa. To donate, make a deposit usingthese banking details.

Arundownpublic facility ismakingway fornewhousing and a childcare centre inRoyalRoad.The land currently houses the Maitland

swimming pool, which had been closed forseveral years.It was recently sold and will be converted

into a development named Mountain ViewVillas.Cape Town Community Housing Compa-

ny spokesperson Faizel Moos says 300 sec-tional title apartments will be built on thesite, ranging from studio to two bedrooms.The complex will be enclosed with securityon site, he says.The development falls under affordable

housing, Moos says, which includes thosewho earn between R9 000 and R18 000.“The landwas subsidised by government,

and because it was basically free, we’re abletomake the housing available at lower pric-es,” he says.The propertywas soldwith the agreement

that the pool would either be restored or aEarly ChildhoodDevelopment (ECD) centrewould be built on the site, with the façadeof the pool preserved, says ward councillorDerrick America.The decision to build an ECD centre was

an easy one, as the pool had been con-

demned, Moos explains.“The pool was condemned because of the

condition of the building. Vagrants had oc-cupied it previously, and it was burned,with a section of concrete ready to fall in,”he says.The Cape Town Community Housing

Company will instead work with HeritageWestern Cape to preserve the exterior, andmoney is set aside to build the ECD centre,Moos adds.Council plans to outsource the running of

the centre, America says. “There is definite-ly a need for this kind of facility with thedemographic living in the area,” he adds.Resident Cheryl Gain believes the ECD

centre will benefit the community.“It’s a good idea. There are quite a few lit-

tle ones in the area. Many parents work andneed a safe place for their kids,” she says.Heritier Kibwila would have preferred to

have the pool restored.“A pool is nicer. It gets very hot and it’s

far to travel to the beach or nearest pool. Allthe other suburbs have a pool. We shouldhave one too,” he says.But Pardon Musiyakuwi believes there

are enough swimming facilities in the city,and thinks the education centre will be ofgreater benefit to the community.“A creche is the right idea. There are lots

of places to go swimming, including thebeach and other swimming pools,” he says.

MoneyMoneywisewise

With the festive season behind us, many Ca-petonians have been trying to stretch theirpennies to recover from excessive holidayspending.Experts say more people have requested

debt counselling and in some cases consum-ers spend their entire salary fulfilling debtobligations.People’s Post readers share their thoughts.

RRUBYUBY MADLAMADLATHUTHU says people should save andbudget for the festive season so that they don’tneed to borrow money when the holidays havepassed. “I had no worries in January,” she says.

KEITH PKEITH PAPIERAPIER says he avoided buying items oncredit in December and is reaping the benefits ofplanning his festive season budget ahead. “Youhave to use your bonus and plan or you will findyourself in debt.”

ANDILEANDILE NCNCUBEUBE says he is very stressed this monthas he spent a lot of his salary during the festiveseason, especially on entertainment. “I could havebeen wiser because I spent all my money withoutconsidering the consequences,” he says.

CCARLOS BARLOS BANANGILEANANGILE says previous experience hastaught him to spend wisely during December. “Isaved my bonus and now I am much better offfinancially than I was last year January,” he says.

LLOOWRISKAWRISKA KLEINKLEIN says it’s hard to always paycash. “We try, but when you need something andyou have no choice, you buy on credit. Once youbuy on account, you are stuck for a long time”

MARLISE DMARLISE DANIELANIEL says January has been a longmonth for her because she overspent in Decem-ber. “As much as I want to deny it, I had to resortto credit. My son started creche this year and thatalso added to my financial stress.”

WWALEED DUALEED DU PLESPLESSISSIS believes credit cards and ac-counts lead to the financial downfall of many irre-sponsible spenders. “It allows you to buy now andpay later, but all you get is debt for a very longtime.”

Woodstock police and members of a defunctObservatory Community Police Forumchapter are willing to bury the hatchet totackle crime.AWoodstock CPF annual generalmeeting

will be held in the next quarter to elect a newObservatory subforum.The chapter, which falls under the Wood-

stockCPF,was disbanded last year after sev-eral resignations left the organisation withan unconstitutional amount ofmembers, ex-plains chairperson Howard Smith.“As an interim measure, we have a small

number of members working towards hold-ing an annual generalmeeting inwhich newmembers will be elected,” he says.The Woodstock CPF still functions and

meetswithpolice and sector representativesmonthly, says Woodstock police spokesper-son Sergeant Hilton Malila.“The deputy chairperson of the Wood-

stock CPF is also the chairperson of the Ob-servatory subsector forum, and as we speakshe is busy mobilising the relevant role-players in order to get the subforum up andrunning again as usual,” he says.The Observatory chapter and Woodstock

police experienced a troubled relationship,with allegations flung at police that theywere unwilling to attend meetings.However, Smith believes the lack of coop-

eration stemmed from both sides.“There were instances where the police

missed meetings, but there were also indi-viduals on the CPF who didn’t hold theirend. It cuts two ways. For instance, therewas anoccasionwhenpolice officers arrived10minutes late to find the CPFmembers hadleft the meeting. I don’t condone arrivinglate to a meeting, but one must be willing tomake allowances,” he says.

The drastic turn in the relationship cameas a surprise to police, Malila says.“There was always communication be-

tween the Woodstock police and Observato-ry Subsector forum. At monthly CPF meet-ings held at the station, Observatory wasrepresented throughout the year. At the last

subform meeting we attended in Observato-ry in November, the relationship was stillgood. We don’t know what happened afterthat, but we found out that some of the role-players pulled away from the subform,” hesays.Smith believes the reconstituted chapter

is essential to a lasting solution to combatcrime.“I don’t think past problems will happen

again if we have commitment from bothsides. We’re looking for members who arewilling to build cooperation and not assumeit is a given,” he says.

ACHMAT EBRAHIMCITY MANAGER08/2014


The economic climate has caused ambitiousdevelopers to scale back on a planned officedevelopment for the corner of Bree and Pep-per streets.The original plans featured a 12-storey of-

fice block with an ultra-modern parking lot,but owing to an oversupply of office spacein the city centre, developers have gonebackto the drawing board.Developer Dan Steyn says the land was

purchased with the intention to redevelop.“Our initial scheme was a full bulk devel-

opment of approximately 5 000m² of officespace with a mechanised parking garagewhich would have provided 150 parkingbays. However, the current economic cli-mate resulted in an oversupply of officespace in town, as well as new developmentssuch as the Portside building coming ontothe market. This forced us to reconsider.”The building was intended to be the first

of its kind, housing the city’s first automatedparking garage.The parking garage, accessed fromPepper

Street, would have allowed drivers to parktheir cars in one of three mechanised park-ing slots.The automated trolley system would then

transport the car to one of the eight parkinglevels. One of the former buildings – on thecorner of the two streets – has been demol-ished, while the other is being extended.Approval for the redevelopment was

granted in August, says council’s Depart-ment of Planning andBuildingDevelopmentManagement director Cheryl Walters.“Ultimately, the owners elected not to pro-

ceedwith the approved development andnotto demolish the building at 21 Pepper Street.Instead, they obtained approval to add onelight-weight storey to the building,” shesays. “A demolition permit was obtained forthe buildings at 177 Bree Street. The build-ings were demolished and building planshave been submitted to the City for a new,single-storey retail building on the corner,attached to the building at 21 Pepper Street.”The extension was decided on as the exist-

ing structure could not accommodate a con-ventional expansion, Steyn explains.“We have redesigned the Pepper Street

property using the existing structure with alightweight roof extension, and an internalmezzanine to increase the parking capacity.The 177 Bree Street property has been demol-ished andwill makeway for a new retail shopwith a roof garden serving the office areas inthe existing building.”The demolition of the Bree Street building

and excavations for a new building are beingrecorded by archaeologists, and their find-ings will be documented and submitted toHeritage Western Cape.The Pepper Street façade was retained,

Steyn says.

A heritage impact assessment found thatnone of the buildings were of heritage sig-nificance, Walters confirms.However, it is likely that undisturbed ar-

chaeology exists below the current floorlevel of the Bree Street erven.

“It was therefore a condition of approvalthat archaeological monitoring takes placeduring demolition and that the foundationsbe recorded by an archaeologist,” she says.Sections of the modern, open-plan offices

will be ready for occupation in March.

Almost all pirated copies of the film,Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom whichhave been circulating in South Africa donot have the complete film.This is according to the South African

Federation against Copyright Theft (SA-FACT) who discovered when watching apirated copy that theDVDstartswith thefirst 15minutes of the film, but thereaftercontinues with Invictus, which was re-leased four years ago.Thepirateshaveused the samecinema

poster artwork of the filmMandela: LongWalk To Freedom as the inlay or coverfor their pirated discs to make it appearlegitimate.The film was released in November

last year at cinemas in South Africa andhas subsequently been released in theUnited Kingdom, the United States, Can-ada, France, Holland, Portugal, Israel,Iceland, Switzerland, Belgium and theMiddle East.Germany, Finland, Norway, Spain,

Denmark,NewZealandand Indiawill re-lease the film later this month.The film is not legally available in a

DVD format anywhere in the world andthe pirates are defrauding the public.Producer Anant Singh says: “We have

taken every possible measure to ensurethat Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom isnot pirated. It is extremelydisappointingthat the film is being targeted by pirateswho are passing off their fake DVDs asthe complete film.Weurge the public notto support pirates by buying the fakeDVDs.”Piracy kills jobs, opportunities and

sustainable income for honest workers.The CEO of SAFACT, Corne Gul-

denpfennig, has warned pirates that thefederation is vigilant in the enforcementin cinema theatres and on the streetsthroughout the country.She also warns that criminal action

will be taken against all perpetratorswhether for fraud or under the copyrightlegislation.SAFACTcalls upon thepublic to do the

right thing and blow the whistle on anyperson taking part in piracy.V Contact Crime Line by SMSing 32211 or phoneCrimeStop on 08600 10 111.

A new pathway is being prepared to bringmore feet to the wetlands along the LiesbeekRiver and increase awareness of conserva-tion efforts.The Friends of the Liesbeek are in the

process of building a woodchip path, hopingthat it will make the area more user-friend-ly, chairperson Nick Fordyce says.“We hope that the path will increase the

human activity in the area. We have noticedthat people become invested and committedto helping restore these green urban spaceswhen they start to use them. We also wantpeople to be able to see the changes that arehappening in the area for themselves,” heexplains.The long-term vision for the pathway is to

create a circular track around the wetlandnext to Valkenberg Hospital which will linkup with the river bank on the other side ofthe N2 in Mowbray, Fordyce continues.“This project is still in its early days and

presently we are creating the path in themost strategic areas – along thebermswhichseparate the wetland from the river. Thereis a lot of invasive grass in the area. Wespend a lot of time removing the grass fromareas where we have rehabilitated and re-planted,” he says.“It is hoped that the pathway will create

a ‘buffer’ between the replanted areas andthe adjacent areas which are invested withkikuyu and other invasive species.”The project has no budget, and theFriends

of the Liesbeek are using the cost-effectiveoption of woodchips.“We believe a woodchip pathway, as op-

posed to just a dirt pathway, is far more in-viting and will hopefully bring more peopledown to the wetland. The woodchips willhelp in preventing the invasion of invasivegrass into rehabilitated areas,” he says.The woodchips also have historical rele-

vance.“Themajority of thewoodchips come from

Table Mountain National Park near Hospi-tal Bend and are pine tree chips. Cecil JohnRhodes planted the pines on the mountainslopes many decades ago and they reallyshouldn’t be here. SANParks have a man-agement plan that involves removing all ba-by pine trees. The old established trees arebeing left until they die from naturalevents.”A fire near Rhodes Memorial a few years

ago resulted in the death of a number of pinetrees.It is these trees which now make up the

woodchip pathway.“So we are finding a good way to recycle

wood which really shouldn’t be there,” hesays.The pathway should be wide enough to ac-

commodate cyclists and horse riders, andthe chips will be laid 5cm deep to prevent

plants from growing through the chips.“We are removing all the vegetation

along the route planned for the path. Thisis predominantly kikuyu grass. The woodchips are then spread out over the clear sur-face. Along certain sections of the path weare propagating sour fig plants. This is anindigenous succulent vygie which is goodfor stabilising banks and which grows fair-ly rapidly and is quite drought tolerant.There is a risk of erosion in some places sowe are planting to prevent this from hap-pening,” he says.However, there are more plans for the

wetlands.“We will be building at least one bridge

in the area. We plan to rehabilitate and re-plant some of the remaining areas that havenot had this done before. We may also beputting in some benches, constructed frompine wood and we also want to create a 5kmtime trial for the area. This is a longer termproject though,” he says.Resident Bridget Impey often walks her

dogs along the river, and hasmixed feelingsabout the construction.“It doesn’t really need a path, but I sup-

pose it would be nice. Upgrades are alwayspositive. The path must just be well demar-cated for people to see, then they will makeuse of it,” she says.The pathway will boost visitor numbers,

says Abdul Hafeez Ebrahim.“Having a nice path will bring more peo-

ple to the area. If theFriends of theLiesbeekbuild bridges to connect the two areaswhich are divided by the highway, it willbecome a through route. That should bringquite a few people here and create moreawareness. More people will grow to appre-ciate the area,” he says.

It’s the most common new year’s resolutionafter joining the gym.But as the first month of 2014 draws to a

close, most smokers have forgotten theirpledge to throw away their cigarettes.Taking a couple of drags while on a tea

break may seem harmless, but even a fewpuffs on a “light” cigarette could prove detri-mental to your health.The hardest part is deciding when to be-

come a quitter. But sticking to a plan of ac-tion is not easy.Much like other resolutions, deciding to

quit requires willpower and realising youare doing more serious harm to your bodythan good, says family doctor Ellapen Rapi-ti.“Smoking is an unnecessary and expen-

sive habit. People smoke because they don’tknow how to relax. Quitting is difficult be-cause the cigarettes are freely available, notfrowned upon by society and the cigarettecompanies market it as something ‘cool’ tothe younger generation,” he says.Smokers also aren’t always ready to admit

they are struggling with an addiction be-cause it is “just” cigarettes.“Most people do not understand the con-

cept of addiction. Theyneed to know that themoment you can’t do without a cigarette, itis an addiction,” Rapiti insists.Law-abiding smokers step out of a build-

ing to puff on their smokes, but even this actof consideration affects non-smokers.“The effects of smoking does not stop with

you. You are not only doing bad things toyour own body, you are doing bad things toa community with the negative effects of

smoking,” he says.Many smokers justify not quitting by com-

paring their lifespan to that of a familymem-ber who may have smoked for years and isstill alive.Rapiti says that although some people live

longer than others, considering that bothparties may have been smokers for years,they still suffer negative effects in the long

run.Aside from the health implications, smok-

ers create a financial burden due to their ad-diction. “Over thenext 30years, taxandVATincluded, cigarettes could easily cost a con-sumer R700 a packet,” he predicts.To smoke 20 cigarettes a day, a smoker

could spend R1000 a month. “This is a scarysum considering on what most people couldbe spending thatR1000. They couldhave con-tributed the money to school fees, life poli-cies and other necessities in the household.”Smoking cigarettes could open a doorway

to experimenting with other addictive sub-stances and, he says, if cigarettes and alco-hol are consumed together, they increasethe risk of mouth cancer.At last year’s Lung Cessation Symposium

held at the University of Cape Town, Dr IanLewis pointed out that smoking goesthrough three stages. Lewis, a psychiatristat Groote Schuur Hospital, says the firststage is experimental. The second stage esca-lates to it being recreational. The final stageis problematic substance use which is cate-gorised as problematic substance abuse orsubstance dependence.Dr Richard van Zyl-Smit, a pulmonologist

at the UCT Lung Institute, says half of thepeople who are smokers die prematurely.“Smoking also increases your risk of lung,bowel, breast and bladder cancer,” Van Zyl-Smit says.Sylvia Daniels quit smoking more than 16

years ago.“Iwas inhospital (at the time) andbecause

I was in a cast and ordered not to leave thehospital, I decided to stop at once,” she says.Although she has to cope with a lot of

stress, Daniels says she has never felt theneed to start smoking again.In an attempt to kick the habit, Candice

Taylor has recently started smoking e-ciga-rettes. “It has helped me stop smoking forthe three months that I’ve been on it,” shesays.Quitting has not been easy for Brandon

Tala, a smoker for more than 20 years whosays he has tried many methods to stop.

“It just doesn’t work. Years ago, while Iwas sick, I stopped smoking. It just lasted fora week,” he laments.While most people grasp the concept that

smoking is an addiction, Rapiti says quit-ting is very hard as the habit has ingraineditself in consumers for many years.He says smokers fail to address the core

issue: the need to learn to relax properly.

In the past few years the political landscape has shiftedin step with a blurring of the racial defines of the old, un-welcome South Africa. This new SA is no longer a simpleblack and white affair.Come the general elections many South Africans will

be scratching their heads before crossing that ballot box.The decision over which party to vote for can no longer

be a “been there, done that” issue. Voting habits of thepast will not come to bear on this year’s elections. Youcannot vote by rote.And that could be the clincher that decides the way for-

ward for post-Mandela SA.Your vote will have to be a calculated, well thought

through matter. You’ll have to vote with your head andnot your heart. And, to do that, the average SouthAfricanwill more than likely have to come face-to-face with theissue of identity.The announcement that Agang SA leader Mamphela

Ramphele is the DA’s presidential candidate was morea whimper than a bang, thanks to rife media speculationwhich let the cat out of the bag the day before.Old and new bedfellows are finding patriotic vigour in

their jointmuscle as theyvie for your vote.How thepoliti-cal pendulum has swung.And, with it, themudslinging has begun as parties com-

pete for your precious vote.Depending on what you believe, the announcement

could forge the path towards “putting the race card in thedirtbin”, asRamphele says.Or, in thewords ofANCsecre-tary general Gwede Mantashe, Agang SA is a “stillborn”party and theDA/Agang SAdeal is described as a “rent-a-black” or “rent-a-leader”.The political smoke andmirrors alreadyhave somevot-

ers questioning the new bonds forged between Agang SAand the DA, and their loyalty towards the ANC.Historywill remind us that bedhopping and floor swop-

ping is not so new in SA politics.But how will the voter react? Let’s wait and see.

Prick only with consentOne prick may save your daughter’s life, orit could just kill her (“Shot in arm to fightcancer”, People’s Post, 16 January).The Department of Health will in the next

three years vaccinate all girls in Grade 4with the HPV vaccination.What the (health) department doesn’t tell

you is that there have beenmany thousandsof deaths, disabilities, cases of girls goingblind and even young girls getting earlymenopause.What the department doesn’t tell you is

that a very large percentage of youngwomenwho get cervical cancer have had unprotect-ed sex with multiple partners and have con-tracted a number of STDs.There are a number of states in America

as well as Japanese medical institutionswhich have spoken out strongly against thevaccination, and some have even banned it.Should we not rather be spending all this

money on educating young women and menabout the dangers of unprotected sex and theconsequences of having sex at a very youngage?Parents, please do your research before al-

lowing your daughters to have this vaccine.SARAH, EMAILDepartment of Health spokespersonMark van der Heever responds:(The provincial) health department re-

cently received concerns from the publicaround the safety of the vaccine.Published analysis regarding the safety of

HPV vaccines provides evidence that au-toimmune conditions, neurological diseasesand thromboembolic disease are not trig-gered by the quadrivalent HPV vaccination.Statistics show that one in every eight

women who die in South Africa, die fromcomplications as a result of cancer of the cer-vix.Almost 80%of cervical cancers are caused

by the Human Papillomavirus (HPV). Thevaccination prevents the infection of the vi-rus from developing on the cervix.Serious conditions such as these, which

are largely of undetermined cause, are some-times falsely attributed to vaccinationwhenpopulation-based vaccination programmesare implemented, giving rise to this fear.The department notes the claims made by

the public, but believe the benefits greatlyoutweigh the risks, and are committed to

providing ongoing monitoring of the pro-gramme to urgently identify safety concernsshould they arise.This is a national campaign and it is im-

portant to note that SouthAfrica is using thevaccine Cervarix and not Guardasil.WithCervarix therewere no adverse reac-

tions during trials.There has been a decrease of 70% of cervi-

cal cancer in one of the test areas in Ameri-ca. The adverse effects reported are oftendue to mis-administration such as faintingbecause the girl does not sit for 10 minutesafter the injections; inflammation of the sitedue to rubbing; and/or nervous reactionsdue to fear of needles.There is no ingredient in the vaccine that

can affect fertility, menstruation and/orhormonal activity.The vaccine prevents the HPV strains 16

and 18 (which are the most virulent andcause 70% of all cervical cancers) from “set-tling” in the cervical cells, thus possibly re-sulting in cancer.During the next three years, Grade 4 girls

will be vaccinated annually.It is, however, of vital importance that par-

ents/caregivers and teachers play their rolein this campaign as only those girls whohave written consent from their parents/caregivers will be vaccinated.If parents do not want to have their child

vaccinated, they should not sign the consentform, which they will receive from theschool which their child attends.The consent form will only be given to

those parents whose girls are eligible for thevaccine. These are (girls who) attend a pub-lic or specialised education school, are inGrade 4, will be nine years old or older bythe time the campaign starts (on Monday 17February); and has a signed consent form.Parents who wish to vaccinate their

daughter and she does not fall into these cri-teria can speak to a pharmacist as the vacci-nation is available at pharmacies. However,you will be charged for it.Vaccination remains one of themost effec-

tive manners in which to prevent illnessesin our children. The health department al-ready offers many vaccinations which helpkeep your child healthy. Protection againstHPV is the same as these vaccinations; youare protecting your daughter’s health.

Clean sweep: myright to complainI am a decent, law-abiding citizen of thiscountry.I am a conscientious and considerate citi-

zen of this great city of ours.I take great pride in my sense of responsi-

bility towards my country and city.I live in an economically poor community,

where the services of the national and pro-vincial government, as well as the City ofCape Town, often do not reach the poorestof the poor.There are community organisations,

NGOs and individuals who genuinely trytheir best to assist thepoor and resourceless.I take my hat off to them.When I see something wrong in our com-

munity, be it an electricity light notworkingor the dirt heaps become too much oppositemy home, I find a way to alert the City.I speak to the loiterers, especially the mis-

chievous ones, for them not to loiter in thelane which I share with my neighbours.More often than not, they listen.I have had to threaten some of them with

the police as well.I am prepared to do this, and have done

this in the past.I also talk to them, since one must never

forget the love which one is meant to havefor your neighbour.I have recently laid a complaint aboutCity

electrical workers who have, what appearedtome, abusedandwastedCity resources.Up-on further investigation, it was found thatthese “Umbane” workers were in remiss.It is up to the City, and not me, to decide

what action is taken. I have received promptfeedback from theCity on the progress ofmycomplaint.However, I take responsibility for report-

ing this. I am appealing to residents: if yousee any kind of abuse by any government orlocal government (employee), report it. It isyour right. In effect, these errant workersare stealing from you and I, the poorest ofthe poor. I have been threatened because ofmy complaints to the City. I have taken thisup with the courts and police, as well as in-forming the City of this.Iwill not be intimidated, andwill continue

to look out for each and every one of myneighbours. I cannot do it alone.OWEN SIMONS

CapeTown fans are in for an in-ternational treat when guitarmaestro Carlos Santana per-forms in the city for the firsttime.

The shows will be at theGrand Arena from Wednesday25 to Thursday 27 February.

It is for good reason that San-tana is regarded as one of thebest guitarists in the world.From his earliest days as aground breaking Afro-Latin-Blues-Rock-Fusion outfit inSan Francisco 40 years ago, hismusic has gone on to transcendall musical genres and genera-tional, cultural and geographi-cal boundaries.

1969 was a breakthroughyear for Santana with the re-lease of a self-titled debut al-bum and the band’s emergenceonto the global stage with anepic set at the iconic Wood-stock festival.

Almost 40 albums later, San-tana has sold more than 100million records, reached morethan 100 million fans at con-certs worldwide and won 10Grammy awards.

He received a Life TimeAchievement honour at the2009 Billboard Latin MusicAwards and was recently hon-oured at the prestigious 2013 KennedyCentre Awards in Washington DC.

Santana’s most recent album, titledShape Shifter, was released in 2012 and isan instrumental tour de force with only

one song featuring vocals by Santana’slead vocalists Andy Vargas and TonyLindsay.V Tickets, from R510 to R850, are available fromComputicket. The show starts at 20:00.

MAESTRO: Carlos Santana will be at the Grand Arena.

ThehitmusicalBloodBrothershas returnedto Cape Town.Blood Brothers tells the story of a mother

who agrees, because of absolute financialdesperation, to give away one of her twinboys at birth. Themoving story is set inCapeTown with a distinctly local flavour. DavidKramer’s adaptation,which has been highlypraised by the media, marked the first timethat author Willy Russell had ever grantedpermission for his musical to be adapted.

Singing sensation Alistair Izobell joinsthe stellar company and will be singing therole of the narrator fromWednesday 12 Feb-ruary to Saturday 22 March.

Alistair started his professional theatrecareer as a 12-year-old street urchin in theKramer/Petersen musical District Six. Hefollowed that with the role of Ritchie Valens

Lynelle Kenned will now be playing therole of Mrs Lyons. Lynelle is a star graduateof the UCT Opera School and a member ofthe award-winning SouthAfrican Sopranos.

Lynelle became a popular TV personalityas the runner-up in theTop BillingNewPre-senter Search. She subsequently joined Pa-sella as a presenter. Lynelle has been per-forming the role of Mrs Johnstone once aweek in the Johannesburg run of BloodBrothers.

Bianca Le Grange, who has been playingthe iconic role of Mrs Johnstone to great ac-

claim and standing ova-tions, has impressed signifi-cantly in her musical thea-tre debut.

The Cape lifestyle, cultural diversity andthe inclusivity of Cape Town will be throwninto the limelight at the festival, whichkicked off on Tuesday and runs to Sunday2 February.

The six-day event uses performance, mu-sic, historical tours, art exhibitions andmore to pay tribute to the vibrant energy ofCape Town and all its people.

Afrikaans comics are ready to blow the au-dience away in Proudly Afrisnaaks.

Produced by Mitchell’s Plain comedianMoeniel Jacobs, the proudly local stand-upcomedy show will feature Piet Potgieter,Francois van As and Dugald Pieterse.

The show is expected to highlight the bestside-splitting Western Cape humour.

Afrikaans stand-up comedy has beengrowing in backends of comedy clubs andrestaurants and its time everyone sees thebest Afrikaans comedy has to offer with thebest it has produced, Jacobs says.

Having performed in a tent at the Sui-doosterfees a fewyears ago, Jacobs informedorganisers that comedy should not be donein a tent where music is often played.

He was then asked to write a proposal fora show for the festival.

With comedians popping up everywhere,he contacted someof the best comedians thathave started doing Afrikaans comedy.

The show will debut at the Suidoosterfeesin the Arena Hall on Friday 31 January at20:00, with another show on Saturday 1 Feb-ruary at 14:00.V Tickets cost R100 and can be bought at any Com-puticket, Shoprite or Checkers store.

Shooting for the stars in Salt RiverLIAM MOSES

@LiamCPT

A fledging football club has set its sightson changing the area’s social and foot-ball landscape.

Celtic AFC was founded as the social foot-ball team Kids United in 2009, but the SaltRiver organisation is set to become a formalclub and affiliate to a Local Football Associa-tion (LFA) this year.

Club chairperson and founder RushdiKhan says the club’s aim is to make it to theprofessional ranks and uplift the area’syouth.

“Our main objective is to take this club toanother level and we hope to purchase a

Third Division franchise in the future,” hesays.

“We also just want to keep the (children)happy and entertained, so that they can stayon a straight path.

“We want to unite the community, so thatwe can erase the scourge of gangsterism anddrugs together.”

Khan says Salt River hardly has any extramural activities for children.

“If you come into Salt River you’ll sea alot of children just sitting around on MainRoad,” he says.

“There are not enough activities for chil-dren. There is one other football club in thecommunity, but most of the kids don’t playfor the club.”

Khan and a group of friends started theteam to play Sunday league football as workcommitments prevented them from playingfor established clubs on Saturdays.

He says the area’s bored children soonstarted to hang around their social games,Sunday matches and practice sessions, lead-ing to the formation of under-14 and under-15 teams.

He says the juniors and community mem-bers eventually pressured the team intoforming a club.

Although Khan and the rest of the club arewilling to put in the work to achieve theirgoals, the club is in desperate need of finan-cial support

“The juniors are the most important part

of the club; we need them to progress, so wehave to build a good junior structure,” hesays.

“We don’t want to charge any child mem-bership fees, as some parents can’t afford topay (any fees). That’s why we are looking fora sponsor.”

In the past, Khan says, the club’s seniormembers have held several fundraisers, butthey have been forced to dig into their ownpockets to cover expenses.

Celtic have applied to join the Turfhall andRygate LFAs. They will decide which LFAto join next month.

For more information on the club or to as-sist in any way, like donations or coaching,phone Khan on 078 041 2732.

Top times expected at annual challengeLIAM MOSES

@LiamCPT

Cash, glory and a shot at the national titlewill be up for grabs at the Top Form AthleticClub 10km Challenge on Saturday 8 Febru-ary.

The 21st instalment of the annual race willdouble as the Western Province Athletics(WPA) 10km Championships this year andthe fastest finishers will earn places at thenational championships.

Race director Alistair Kannemeyer saysthe course should allow racers to run per-sonal bests with the WPA selectors in attend-ance.

“It’s a flat, fast and safe route, with run-ners racing through a residential area,” hesays.

“Most people will probably be doing per-sonal bests and the winner should finisharound the 30-minute mark or possiblyquicker.”

The WPA Championships takes part at adifferent road race each year. This will bethe first time it takes place at the Top Form10km Challenge.

The race will start at Turfhall Sports Com-plex and progress through different parts ofAthlone, Lansdowne, Belthorn and Craw-ford before returning to Turfhall.

To qualify for the national champion-

ships, racers will have to finish within a cer-tain time.

Both men and women runners from eachage group will be selected.

The top three finishers in all categorieswill take home cash, with prizes ranging be-tween R100 and R500.

The first 1 500 finishers will also receivea commemorative coffee mug.

Kannemeyer says the race attracted 1 500runners last year. He expects around 1 800participants this year.

“It’s definitely a draw card that the raceis run in the area and we get a lot of partici-pants coming from the greater Athlone ar-ea,” he says.

“We would like the whole community tosupport this event.”

He says plans are in place to make the raceeven bigger next year. “Our future endeav-our is to make the race disabled-friendly, sothat people with disabilities can partici-pate,” Kannemeyer says.

“We are excluding a large portion of ourresidents at the moment.”

Entry costs between R20 and R55, and canbe completed at Turfhall every day from15:00 to 19:00 until Friday 7 February, andat 05:00 on race day. The race will start at06:30.

For more information call Kannemeyer on083 403 3145.

Swimming for bright little smilesA pair of local swimmers are set to bravestormy, shark-infested waters in arecord-breaking long distance swim.

Hout Bay’s Thane Williams and Ronde-bosch resident Jonno Proudfoot will at-tempt to swim 450km from Mozambiqueto Madagascar in under 35 days in March.

The pair hope to raise funds for the Cip-la Miles for Smiles initiative, which as-sists medical services organisation Oper-ation Smile in creating awareness for theplight of children born with cleft lips andpalates. It raises funds for corrective sur-gery.

If successful, theMad Swimwill be rec-ognised as a the longest unassisted openocean stage swim across by the WorldOpen Water Swimming Association.

It is also the first time a South Africanteam has attempted this record in the Mo-zambique Channel.

“This is an unassisted swim whichmeans no shark nets, wetsuits, cage, flip-pers or breathing apparatus,” Proudfootexplains.

“Besides the obvious challenge of hav-ing to swim 20km in very tough condi-tions every day, we will also be facing thevery real threats of sharks, jelly fish, cur-rents, giant swells, dehydration and ex-cessive sun exposure.”

The gruelling journey will begin at Na-cala on the central east coast of Mozam-bique and end at a small peninsula 200kmsouth west of Mahajanga in Madagascar.

Williams says the world record attemptwill fail if they miss even one day of swim-ming.

“This means if there is a storm, we willhave to continue through rough seas toavoid costing the swim,” he says.

“I have been swimming professionally

for the last 15 years and currently ourtraining sees us swimming over 65km perweek, but realistically we just don’t knowwhat we are going to face out there.”

Proudfoot and Williams, although un-certain of what awaits them on their ad-venture, both say making a difference tosomeone’s life and creating awarenessfor the problem of cleft lips and palateswill be the thoughts that drive them tocomplete the swim.

“One in every 750 children in Africa isborn with a cleft palate or lip, and one in10 babies born with this condition doesnot make it to their first birthday,” Wil-liams says.

“Malnutrition, medical and psycholog-ical problems also compound the prob-lem. Life can be a tough and complicatedplace for kids and not being able to smileshouldn’t have to limit their experienceof the world. I hope we are able to inspirepeople to help others live lives of confi-dence through our adventure in raisingmoney for the Cipla Miles for Smiles initi-ative,” says Williams.

To commence the swim by Saturday 1March, the duo are seeking sponsorship,from corporates, individuals or brands,to fund their vessel to Mozambique.

Donors are also welcome to sponsorany amount of kilometres of the 450kmswim. All proceeds raised by the swimwill go to the Cipla Miles for Smiles initia-tive.

Glenthorne ballers on topLIAM MOSES

@LiamCPT

A glut of Glenthorne A’s play-ers were named in the West-ern Province Softball (WPS)

senior team for theannualNation-al Provincial Championship(NPC).The squadwasnamed lastweek,

with 10 of the 17 spots filled by Gl-enthorn players.Nicole Fortune, club secretary

and one of the WP representa-tives, says all her teammatesearned their colours.“If you look at the past, whenGl-

enthorne had just one or two play-ers in the squad,wehad teams likeWestridge Yankees who dominat-ed the WP team,” she says.“Glenthorne are the defending

Super League and Knockoutchampions, so it can’t be said thatwe don’t have outstanding play-ers. We earned our spots.”Five Westridge Yankees and

two Falcons Normies playersfilled the remaining spots in theteam.The tournament will be hosted

at Turfhall Sports Complex, Gl-enthorne’s home turf, fromWednesday 19 to Sunday 23March.Club chairperson Catherine Er-

asmus says all the players willbring quality and experience tothe Province side.“They are all experienced pro-

vincial players, as they have allrepresented WP at some level,”she says.“They all came through the

ranks – from under-12 in the pro-vincial sides. That will bring a lotof experience to theWP side. Theywill contribute quite a bit.”Fortune says Glenthorne

achieved the success over the lasttwo years through hard work anda close bond.“Besides the fact that we train

really hard and are dedicated, thegroup has also been playing to-gether for seven years,” she says.“We are all friends, hang out all

the time and enjoy one another’scompany.“We even spend a lot of time to-

gether in the off-season. We aremore like a family than a team.And having great coaching staffalsohelps, because they are just asdedicated as we are.”Both Erasmus and Fortune be-

lieve the WP team have what ittakes to keep the NPC trophy inCape Town this year.The full WP squad is: Lauren

Mulder, Terri Minnies, CandiceRoss, CarlyMulder, Courtney Ste-vens, Nicole Fortune, Alex For-tune, Carla Swanepoel, Lisa Eras-mus, Deidre Sasman (all Gl-enthorn A’s), Megan Cable, JackyAdonis, Lynn Lekay, CandiceBull, NuraanWilliams (WestridgeYankees), Nicky Jones and CarlaJacob (Falcons).
