‘Tis the season to be safeHANRIE BOSCH

CAPE TOWN summers aresynonymous with sun,

mountain hikes, blue flag beach-es, cocktails, traffic jams on theroad to Camps Bay, and an influxof strange accents and languag-es. However, for City officialsand police this equates to drunkdriving, run-away fires, moun-tain rescue operations, alcoholon beaches, drownings, litterand an increase in opportunistictheft as tourists flock to CapeTown.

More than 80 000 visitors are ex-pected to flock to the city centre on4 December to watch the festivelights in Adderley Street beingswitched on.

The biggest summer hotspot isCamps Bay, the busiest of CapeTown’s 73 beaches.

“Alcohol consumption on beach-es, traffic jams and theft out of mo-tor vehicles and on the beaches areour main focus,” says Camps BayPolice spokesperson, ConstableZandile Makeleni.

“Alcohol consumption on beach-es causes serious problems, withbroken glass in the sand, fights andeven drowning,” says Richard Bos-man, Executive Director for Safetyand Security for Cape Town. Hesays that last year the greater cityarea had nine reported drownings.

More than 250 lifeguards will beon duty at various beaches between10:00 and 18:00, along with 284 life-guards at the City’s 36 public swim-ming pools.

More than 1 319 Metro Police,Traffic Services, Law enforcementand Specialised Services will be de-ployed across the city and 120 newpositions in the law enforcementDepartment were filled to deal withthe influx of visitors.

Merle Collins, spokesperson forSouth African National Parks, sayspatrols on Table Mountain will beincreased and a base radio has been

installed in the Cape Town CentralPolice Operations Control room.This will improve the responsetime to incidents on the mountain.

The dog squad has also grown toeight, with two new dogs joining theteam soon. Visitor safety officersare not allowed to take leave duringthe festive season.

Cape Town Police reservists willassistwithpatrols on themountain,and more officers will work afterhours.

According to Captain Ezra Octo-ber, spokesperson for Cape TownCentral police station, they are in-creasing visibility in the precinctand bracing for the switching on ofthe Christmas lights, the marchingof the Kaapse Klopse, the night mar-kets in Adderley street (starting17 December), parties in Long

Street and New Year’s Eve.However, they are also concerend

about the exodus of many Capeto-nians. “There is a shift in crimearound this time as many homesare empty and we increase patrolsof the residential areas.”

Traffic Services will conduct freebasic vehicle safety checks at Gal-lows Hill in Green Point, from 10:00to 14:00 each working day until 15December, helping to ensure thesafety of Capetonians on the road.

Sea Point Police spokespersonLieutenant Neil Daniels identifiedBeach Road in Mouille Point as thecrime hotspot of the area, and whilespecial attention will be given tothis area, patrols will be increasedthroughout the precinct.

Runaway fires, started by dis-carded cigarette buds, illegal fires

and glass, is anaother seasonal haz-ard. The City’s 826 Fire and RescueServices personnel deal with morethan 8 000 fires every year, most ofwhich occur during summer. Forthat reason 120 seasonal fire fight-ers will be employed on a contractbasis during this period.

The City has budgeted R10,6 mil-lion for cleansing during the festiveseason, with more than 1 290 extracleaning staff. Refuse removal willcontinue uninterrupted even onpublic holidays, to ensure a cleancity and to keep tourists flockingback next year.

REMOVAL OF PEDESTRIAN CROSSING INMAIN ROAD, OBSERVATORY BETWEEN LOWERMAIN ROADAND NORFOLK ROAD (OPPOSITE KFC)A new traffic signal is being installed at the intersection of Lower Main Road, Main Roadand Penzance Road. The new traffic signal is required to allow traffic on both Lower MainRoad and Penzance Road to enter Main Road safely and makes provision for pedestrians andcyclists to cross. This new traffic signal replaces the need for the current signalised pedestriancrossing between Lower Main Road and Norfolk Road, approximately 60 metres to the north.

When the new traffic signal approaches completion the signals at the existing pedestriancrossing will be placed into flashing mode for two days.Thereafter the pedestrian crossing signals will be masked outand then removed, at which time the road markings and signsfor the old pedestrian crossing will also be removed.

ACHMAT EBRAHIMCITY MANAGER

Proudly South African signs pledgePROUDLY South African

(Proudly SA), The Manufac-turing Circle, and The NationalUnion of Metalworkers of SouthAfrica (NUMSA) announced thatthey will be collaborating on anumber of areas of common in-terest, chief of which will be thepromotion and development of athriving and competitive SouthAfrican economy.

The CEO of Proudly SA, LeslieSedibe, the Chairman of the Manu-facturing Circle, Stewart Jennings,and NUMSA General Secretary, Ir-vin Jim, signed a pledge outlininga policy of helping to increase de-mand for locally-produced productsand services by stimulating localprocurement. This pledge also en-visages advancing the country’soverall objective of skilled andsemi-skilled job creation opportu-nities.

Stewart Jennings says; “Once westarted interacting,wequickly real-ised that many common objectivesexisted. For isntance, there is theneed for a competitive currency tounderpin exports and the need toboost enterprise development. Weneed to understand the impact of il-legal imports on the South Africaneconomy. We need to udnerstand

the high cost of doing business asa result of municipal fees, portcharges, electricity prices and theincreasingly onerous terms oftrade. “Our common purpose is thedriving force that has enabled us tomove forward with this pledge,which is closely aligned to the re-cently-signed Local ProcurementAccord.”

Sedibe says “The South African

Government’s Preferential Pro-curement Regulations, recently in-troduced, provides the catalyst forus to combine forces with the com-mon objective of promoting the lo-cal economy so that South Africacan succeed.”

The Preferential ProcurementRegulations coincides with the Lo-cal Procurement Accord in whichthe Government has stated its com-

mitment to expand the value ofgoods and services it procures fromSouth African companies. Stand-ards for measurement and verifica-tion of local content will be agreed.

Companies represented by theManufacturing Circle and ProudlySA form the cornerstone of theSouth African economy.

The National Union of Metal-workers of South Africa’s General

Secretary, Irvin Jim, stated that,“Organised labour has expressedits commitment that goods andservices used by the union and allaffiliates, will be sourced locally.Consideration has been given to theestablishment of a procurementdesk that unions will use to ensurethe accurate identification of localsuppliers, while auditors will betasked with the verification of se-lected suppliers.”

Pan-African Investment and Re-search Services (PAIRS), whichcompiles the Manufacturing Cir-cle’s quarterly bulletin, recentlycompleted work on research to bet-ter understand the multiplier bene-fit of creating jobs in South Africaand supporting South African man-ufacturing.

Dr Iraj Abedian, CEO of PAIRS,the Economist and Independent Ad-visor to the Manufacturing Circlesaid, “Our research report hasshown that the manufacturing sec-tor remains a critical source of de-cent and sustainable job creation,with considerable positive multi-plier effects for economic diversifi-cation, fiscal benefits and favoura-ble balance of payments. South Af-rica has to take urgent andmeaningful steps to reverse the de-cline in the manufacturing sector.”

Become your own bossSMALL, medium and micro enterprises ac-count for about 40% of South Africa’s grossdomestic product, and employ more thanhalf of the private sector work force. How-ever, 80% of small businesses fail withinthe first five years. According to the mostrecent Global Entrepreneurship Monitorstudy, South Africa lags far behind manydeveloping nations in terms of its entrepre-neurial activity levels.

The Western Cape is one of the most en-trepreneurially dynamic provinces in thecountry, but still contributes just 14.4% tothe country’s gross domestic product(GDP), partly due to the lack of entrepre-neurial education and infrastructure in theregion.

The Small Enterprise DevelopmentAgency (Seda) now aims to encourage moreentrepreneurial development within theWestern Cape, with the launch of SedaSmall Business Stars, a national businessplan competition with a unique focus on en-

trepreneurial education at a provincial lev-el.

The competition will be adjudicated by apanel recruited from top business develop-ment agencies and service providers. Thejudging process will identify 20 nationalbusiness idea winners and 20 existing busi-ness winners, all of whom will receive theirshare of more than R400 000 in cash, as wellas laptops and Seda business support to thevalue of up to R60 000 each.

Special prizes will also be presented tothe best woman entrepreneur, the bestyouth entrepreneur, the best disabled en-trepreneur and the best “job-creating” en-trepreneur.

The competition is open to any South Af-rican citizen over the age of 18 with a busi-ness idea or existing small business. En-tries close on 31 January, 2012.

The law relating to dogsTERESA FISCHER

THE ongoing debate about walking dogsin public places, particularly on beacheshas resulted in the bylaws being re-viewed.

Richard Bosman, Executive Director:Safety and Security, City of Cape Townsays there will be a formal public partici-pation process during the course of nextyear. A series of notices will be publishedin community newspapers and on Sub-council noticeboards.

A reader from Glencairn had taken upthe matter with Law Enforcement follow-ing an incident on Glencairn Beach.

The reader, who has a guest house andasked not to be named, says that guestshad been “severely harassed” by dogs onthe beach.

He says the signage at the entrance toGlencairn Beach is confusing. One signstates “No Dogs” and another sign states“Dogs on leads.”

He was subsequently told by a City ofCape Town Law enforcement officer thatGlencairn is traditionally a beach wheredogs were always allowed to run loose. Hesays that he was told by Law Enforcementthat dogs are not required to be on leads

in public places, they must merely be “un-der control.”

However, Moyo Mqabuko Ndukwana,Inspectorate Manager at the Cape of GoodHope SPCA points to Section 6(h)(vi) ofthe Animal Bylaw 2010 which states:

“No person shall permit any dog ownedor kept by him or her to be in any publicstreet or public place except on a leashand under control unless the dog is in anarea designated by the Council as a freerunning area. Ndukwana says an exam-ple of a free running area is Fish Hoekbeach. He notes that the SPCA’s focus isanimal welfare and not the enforcing ofthe bylaw. Bosman responds that Glen-cairn Beach has two formal entrances,which runs parallel to the railway tracks.“At each entrance there is multi-purposesignage board, with various pictogramsdepicting that dogs are allowed, but theirexcrement must be picked up by the own-er. The pictograms do not imply the pro-hibition of dogs,” says Bosman.

Bosman referred to the same section ofthe Animal Bylaw 2010 mentioned byNdukwana. Bosman says that the City’sLaw Enforcement Officers enforce thelaw in relation to what is stipulated bysignage.

With a Portuguese twistTHE Villa Tavern-Portuguese Restaurant &Pizzeria, an established Authentic Portu-guese Restaurant and Bar is in the heart ofthe City Bowl.

Portuguese cuisine is characterised byrich, filling and full-flavoured dishes. Garlicand peri peri is widely used in most dishes,but can be eliminated on request.

A common soup is caldo verde with potato.Among fish recipes, bacalhau dishes are

traditional. They serve this on weekends, onrequest, and for special occassions. Duringthe festive season it is almost always on themenu. Kingklip, hake and tuna is grilled. Ca-lamari rings are deep-fried, served with ol-ive oil and vinegar. Other popular fish dish-

es are imported Portuguese sardines, squidtentacles and prawns grilled with peri perisauce. Local cuisine includes Portuguesesteak, served in a wine-based sauce and friedpotato chips. An egg, sunny side up, is placedin top.Apopular snack is aprego roll, a smallbeef steak in a Portuguese roll, often servedwith a Superbock Beer (Portuguese beer).

Espetada, meat on the skewer, Portuguesechicken peri peri is for the hungry, and de-serves top prize in villa history.

Issues being addressed by task teamsTAURIQ HASSEN

AT a poorly attended publicmeeting on Tuesday 22 No-vember, the Walmer EstateResidence Community Forum(WERCF) formed task teamsto address key issues withinthe community.

One of these issues, accordingto Moosa Sydow, WERCA chair-person, is that they were not giv-en sufficient opportunity to com-ment on leases of public openspaces in the community.

“We found that decisions werebeing made without the commu-nity being given a proper oppor-tunity to comment,” says Sydow.

The first issue is the area

around Trafalgar baths, whichincludes a public open space anda parking area outside the swim-ming baths. The task team hasalready objected to an applica-tion to lease a portion of the pub-lic open space.

According to Sydow, it is re-quired of the City to engage in a“broad and transparent” man-ner with all stakeholders whenthey consider any proposals.

Another issue is that of resi-dential streets being used as “ratruns” or shortcuts taken by driv-ers, often to avoid congestion onthe main throughfares.

The City of Cape Town has al-ready hosted a public meeting todiscuss this issue. Suggestionsare “no entry” signs, with time

stipulations, at the entrances ofChester Road leading into Walm-er Estate and Hill Street leadinginto Worcester and CambridgeStreets.

This proposal will be reas-sessed after the Law Enforce-ment observation period of atleast 90 days. Depending on theoutcome, they will reconsiderthepossibility of amanual boom.

The suggestions were put onpaper and forwarded to the rele-vant departments in the citycouncil, says Sydow.

The traffic circle being pro-posed for the Searle Street inter-esection is also on the list of is-sues being attended to.

Sydow said their aim was toget answers and information

that they can convey to the com-munity. “Only after the processis complete,willwedecide on theway forward.”

He said that if the task team’shand were forced, they would ei-ther object to proposals or re-quest an extension to the publicparticipation process.

“It’s only right that we knowwhat is happening around us.We can’t just happen to find outthat public open spaces arebeingleased off to companies, withoutany consultation with the com-munity,” Sydow adds.

DID YOU KNOW the traditionalthree colours of Christmas aregreen, red, and gold.

Green has long been a symbol oflife and rebirth; red symbolizes the blood ofChrist, and gold represents light as well aswealth and royalty.

MyCiTi introduces newsmartcard fare systemCOMMUTING has just been madeeasier with the introduction of themyconnect smartcard for the MyCi-Ti public transport system. Papertickets will continue to be sold fortwo months to create an overlap pe-riod during the transition phasefrom a paper-based system to asmartcard system.

As the myconnect card is rolled outover the next year, customers will bene-fit from a range of “transit products”that make provision for monthly andweekly users, as well as discounts forspecific users such as learners and pen-sioners.

Myconnect cards are available at theTable View and Civic Centre station ki-osks.The process of converting MyCiTifrom a cash and paper-based system toan electronic, cashless fare system willbe completed by the end of January2012.

Loading value on your myconnectcard is as easy as topping up your cell-phone airtime or pre-paid electricity.

Passengers can participate in a trialperiod for the myconnect card till Fri-day 9 December.

It would be advisable to get a mycon-nect card before the paper tickets arecompletely phased out, to avoid queues.When the switchover frompaper ticketshappens you’ll have an easier ride,when all passengers on a MyCiTi buswill have to have a myconnect card.

There is a issuing fee of R20 for eachcard. The myconnect card is a bankcard issued by ABSA and bank fees willbe charged.

However, there are no additional feecharged when the card is used to pay forfares on the MyCiTi system.

For more information about MyCiTiservices, see www.capetown.gov.za/myciti or call the Transport Informa-tion Centre on 0800 65 64 63.

No hassling for ‘Christmas boxes’BEING HASSLED by a Solid Waste dirt collec-tor for festive funds? Report it to the City ofCape Town.

Council has a policy that strictly forbidspersonnel from asking residents for “Christ-mas boxes” and “donations”.

“Problems have also arisen where peopleposing as City staff have asked for money,sometimes rudely and aggressively, the Cityreports. They have also threatened that wastewill not be collected if the demand is not met.

“The City will not tolerate such behaviour

from our own staff and have accordingly in-structed all staff that soliciting for ‘Christmasboxes’ anddonations is discouraged,” says theCity’s Mayoral Committee Member for UtilityServices, Shehaam Sims.

“If residents believe that excellent servicehas been provided, they are of course at liber-ty to give a voluntary donation to staff as agesture of thanks and goodwill, but under nocircumstances should they be approached orsolicited for money. City staff are well paid byindustry standards, and all permanent staffreceive a 13th cheque at the end of Novem-ber,” added Sims.

Report any incidents of intimidation byCity staff to its call centre on 0860 103 089 dur-ing office hours. Apart from the date, time andplace, the staff identity number and/or vehi-cle registration number should be provided sothat the culprits can be identified.

Such reports will be investigated immedi-ately and, where residents are willing to testi-fy, the City will be able to prosecute offenders.Should you be aware of outsiders posing asCity officials, the matter should be reportedto the local police.

You can change the worldTAMMY PETERSEN

DO YOU have canned goods stacked in theback of your cupboards because the childrendon’t like what’s inside? Or did you buy moregroceries than you needed? Donate it to aworthy cause – there are people in your com-munity who need it.

Living Hope, in conjunction with People’sPostandFruit andVegCity,will be spreadingthe cheer with hampers of hope to disadvan-taged communities and they need your helpto make it a success.

By donating dry food items or cannedgoods, you can spread the Christmas cheerto those who are facing trying times.

Living Hope has been offering help for thepast 10 years.

The organisation consists of four minis-tries – Living Grace, Living Right, LivingWay and Living Care – each performing a vi-tal role in the upliftment of communities inOcean View, Masiphumelele, Fish Hoek, RedHill and Capricorn.

Living Grace is a ministry in Muizenberg,which acts as a safe haven for the homeless.It is not a shelter, as such, but a place wheretheneedy can store their belongings ina lock-er, eat a breakfast and lunch, or just take aquick shower.

There is also a Substance Abuse RecoveryProgramme, which gives people a hand-up

(onto their feet) instead of a hand-out. LivingRight is divided into three sections. The firstconsists of health counsellors who come fromthe community they work in.

They help with health-related inquiriesand also educate people on chronic diseasesand the importance of knowing their HIV sta-tus.

The second section consists of supportgroup facilitators, who meet people on aweekly basis and help them work throughtheir life issues. The third section compriseslife skills educators, who teach children froma young age. The Living Right ministry is, inessence, all about prevention.

Not everybody has the time to get involvedin charity work, but a simple donation willhelp you bring some sunlight to a family’sholiday season.

Interested in making a change?Drop your donation into any marked box

at a Fruit and Veg City store in the greaterCape Town area; at People’s Post’s office inTokai; or at Living Hope in Capri, and consid-er it your good deed for the month.

In early December, the food will be madeinto Hampers of Hope and distributed to thecommunities in need.

For more information, phone Karen Peiseron 083 456 9594.

Start packing – you only have until 2 De-cember to change a family’s outlook on life.

Long exposure highlights mysterySANGOMAS, the traditional heal-ers of South Africa, feature in PeterFrank’s exhibition of large scale,powerful portraits.

The status of these commanding in-dividuals has endured for centuriesand they are still very influential.

Frank visited the Sangomas in theirsimple township huts around CapeTown, photographing them in thesmall, basic rooms where they live andpractice.

Frank used a single lamp to modelthe Sangomas facial features and sa-cred robes, and an exposure of 8 to 10seconds, which is a long time for some-one to sit still.

With this simple technique, he drewlight accents out of the darkness, chan-nelling expressions and highlightingthe mystical aura of his subjects andcapturing their powerful presence.

Frank pays tribute to some re-nowned African photographers suchas Zwelethu Mthethwa, who has por-trayed black Africans in an everydayenvironment, grand and proud. Like

Mthethwa, Frank consciously usescolour photography to distance him-self from the black and white imagesin documentary and press photogra-phy.

His portraits depict aspects of Afri-can life that are timeless and power-ful.

In Frank’s commanding portraitssome healers appear awe-inspiring,some appear to be in a trance. Eachtells a story of extraordinary peopleand provides a rare glimpse into thesometimes unfathomable mysteries ofa fascinating culture.

The Sangoma exhibition is on at“beautifuLL life” - newhome toYoung-blood Arts and Culture Developmentat 70-72 Bree Street, Cape Town from30 November to 14 December as ahousewarming event of this new ven-ue.

Thirty per cent of proceeds from theSangoma exhibition go towardsYoungblood Arts and Culture Develop-ment, supporting African arts projectsand initiatives.

Statistics show that around 80% of

South Africans consult traditionalhealers on a regular basis for spiritualhelp and cure from disease. Sangomastreat illness through ritual ceremo-nies involving dance, prayer and med-itation, as well as the use of muti tradi-tional herbal medicines with spiritualsignificance.

Sangomas also function as media-tors and counsellors in their commu-nity. Traditional healers are a vitalpart of African society and in many re-gions there are ten times more Sango-mas than doctors.

Top team aiming for top prizeTAURIQ HASSEN

WITH the much anticipatedCape Town Minstrel Carni-

val around the corner, teams aregearing up to shine on stage andperform in the street, with oneeye on the coveted Carnival Tro-phy.

That winning feeling is quite fa-miliar to the reigning champions,Pennsylvania Crooning Minstrelsfrom Hanover Park.

The team originated in DistrictSix, but was later re-established in1989 by the current owner, RichardStemmet, who also captains theteam.

Pennsylvanians have dominatedcarnival competitions for the lastdecade and a half, walking awaywith first prize in best marches,dress, singing, playing and jolling.

“We are very excited for the newseason to kick off and everybody isworking really hard to retain thattrophy,” says Stemmet.

The name, Pennsylvania Croon-ing Minstrels, reflects the influenceon the Carnival of American min-strel troupes that visited South Af-rica in the late nineteenth centuryand were hugely popular with peo-

ple of all colours.“This troupe is one of the oldest

around and has loads of history at-tached, so it’s a real honour for meto be a part of something that my fa-ther started way back in District

Six,” says Stemmet.Isgak Wallace, 35, and Riedewaan

Abrahams, 42, two dedicated mem-bers of the team, are the first to pur-chase their gear as soon as it goeson sale.

Both said “there is no sport likeklopse.”

Every year the competition getsstronger, but the Pennsylvaniansremain highly regarded within theminstrel community.

“People can say what they likeabout the team, but we managed towin that trophy for several yearsrunning.

“The team grew bigger and bet-ter, showcasing extraordinary tal-ent in various age groups,” saysWallace.

“Playing in this troupe means alot. This sport is much more thanjust dancing around in the street.

“You must have real talent inyour teamtowalkawaywith thebigprize,” says Abrahams.

When asked about their chancesof winning the 2012 Carnival Tro-phy, they laughedandsaid: “For thelast few years we were waiting to bechallenged by other teams. Theyare coming up, but they are not yetthere, so we don’t have to answerthat question.

“But let’s wait until the battle be-gins.”

The competition is set for 2 Janu-ary, with the annual road marchthrough Darling Street, where allteams will be judged for presenta-tion, turning into Adderley, head-ing up Wale Street, through the his-toric Bo-Kaap, turning into RoseStreet, where they finish off andhead to the Athlone Stadium to per-form their first items.

Slave bell to ringout Garden hoursTHE Company’s Garden in Queen Victo-ria Street will remain open until 20:30 eve-ry day from the beginning of the schoolholidays on Saturday 10 December untilWednesday 29 February 2012.

This will allow residents and visitors achance to enjoy the long summer days inthis beautiful and tranquil setting withinthe CBD.

“The Garden is an ideal setting for awalk or a relaxing picnic on the lawns inthe cool evening air,” says the City’s May-oral Committee Member for CommunityServices, Councillor Tandeka Gqada.

The tradition of ringing the memorial‘slave bell’ to signal the Garden’s closingtime will also be revived.

The bell, which stands near the aviaryin the Company’s Garden, is in fact the oldTown Hall bell that was rung in the eventof a fire.

It dates back to 1855.In the late 1920s it was moved to the

Company’s Garden and hung on a belltower modelled after the tower in thegroundsof Stellenbosch’sElsenburgAgri-cultural College.

This ‘slave bell’ will ring out the extend-ed opening hours during the Festive Sea-

son.The Company’s Garden restaurant

will also stay open later from Saturday10 December to Sunday 15 January 2012and musicians will provide light enter-tainment in the evenings during thisperiod.

Renowned violin teacher, Maria Botha,will kick off the musical entertainmentschedule with a bang on Sunday 11 De-cember.

Botha runs a violin teaching projectwith the Cape Philharmonic Orchestraand will bring her group of students fromNyanga, Gugulethu and Cape Town toplay an informal session near the restau-rant at 17:00.

The students will be conducted by vio-lin teachers from France and Canada,who are in Cape Town for a violin work-shop.

Safety in the Company’s Garden is as-sured by the 24-hour private security per-sonnel who patrol the area, as well asCCTV cameras positioned in strategic lo-cations.

City Law Enforcement Officers will al-so be at hand to conduct regular patrolsuntil 20:00.

The Sheriff or Deputy Sheriff’s primary role is to serve or execute alldocuments issued by our courts. This includes summonses, notices,emolument attachment orders, warrants and court orders. All Sheriffsand Deputy Sheriffs must carry a valid identification card issued andrenewable annually by the South African Board for Sheriffs.When executing duties with a legal court order the Sheriff can:• Enter your premises, even when you are not there.• Open any door, motor vehicle or piece of furniture on your premises.• Attach, remove and sell your motor vehicle, furniture and movableor immovable property to recover your debt.

If the person is in possession of the court order and valididentification card you, as a member of the public, have noalternative but to allow the Sheriff or Deputy Sheriff to removeyour goods.Some attorneys are being instructed by financial institutions toinstitute legal action against members of the public who havedefaulted in their payments, and once judgment and a court orderhas been granted and obtained, it is given to various debt collectors,tracers, representatives or agents who attend the debtors’ residentialor employment addresses.• These “agencies” produce the court order and requests the debtorto hand over the motor vehicle, goods or personal assets.

• As soon as the debtor consents to handing over of his or her assets,it is deemed that the debtor consents to the financial institutionrepossessing the assets.

• The financial institution’s action by instructing these“agencies” to recover motor vehicles and other goods with acourt order, is unlawful.

• As stated, only a Sheriff or Deputy Sheriff may serve or executecourt orders or judgments.

• Members of the public have the right to refuse handing overtheir motor vehicles, goods or personal assets to the debt collec­

tors, tracers, representatives or agents of thefinancial institutions.

REPOSSESSION OF VEHICLESAND OTHER ASSETS

(BY FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS)

Take caution this summerTHE City of Cape Town is ap-pealing to residents to be espe-cially cautious during thewarmer months between Oc-tober and April when CapeTown is at a high risk for un-controlled and runaway vege-tation fires.

The combination of high tem-peratures and gale force South-Easterly winds is a major con-tributing factor in the rapidspread of fires. There are twomain types of fire in Cape Town– vegetation and structural – andboth can be prevented in mostcases. Vegetation fires that oc-cur in mountainous areas areparticularly dangerous becauseof inaccessibility and limitedwater supply.

Theo Layne spokesperson forFire and Rescue Services, saysthe City’s Fire and Rescue Serv-ices deal with more than 8 000vegetation fires every year, mostof which occur in the summermonths. “The City has em-ployed 120 seasonal firefighterson a contract basis from Novem-ber to April. They are trained tofight veld fires and are deployedat various fire stations to assistfirefighters.

Informal settlements are at ahigh-risk for the rapid spread ofstructural fires.

The rate of spread is directlyinfluenced by the materials usedin construction of settlementsand the distance between eachstructure,” he says. Residentsare urged to report a damaged

fire hydrant to 0860 103 089, sothat it can be repaired as soon aspossible.

The public are asked to reportany fires to the Public Emergen-cyCallCentre on107 froma land-line or (021) 480-7700 from a cellphone.

Enter the number on your cellphone as a speed dial.

The following tips could pre-vent a potential disaster:

Vegetation fires. No fires are allowed on the

mountain fringe areas except inspecifically demarcated areasand pre-authorised areas. If youare unsure whether fires are al-lowed in an area, do not make afire.

. Do not discard burning ciga-rettes from your vehicle. Theyare pollutants and one of thecauses of vegetation fires. Usethe ashtray in the vehicle.

. Ensure that fire hydrantsremain unobstructed at alltimes, especially by parked vehi-cles. Tampering with hydrantscan delay a firefighter’s abilityto bring a fire under controltimeously.

. Ensure your braai or cook-ing fire is completely extin-guished before leaving areaswhere fires are allowed.

. Comply with the legal re-quirements for burning vegeta-tion off-cuts (refer to the City ofCape Town Community SafetyBy-law and National Veld andForest Act or refer to www.cape-town.gov.za for more informa-tion).

Structural fires. Buy a fire extinguisher and

keep it in an accessible place inyour home

. Every home should havemore than one exit to ensure es-cape if a fire breaks out.

. Informal homes should bebuilt at least three metres apartto stop fires from spreading.

. Keep matches, lighters, par-affin and poisons out of reach ofyoung children.

. Use child-proof caps onflammable products such as par-affin.

. Extinguish all candles andlamps before going to bed orleaving the house.

. Avoid smoking in bed – it isdangerous.

. Keep stoves on a flat surfaceaway from drafts and flammableobjects.

. Never leave fires and cook-ing stoves unattended.

. Always keep a bucket ofsand and a bucket of waterhandy, in case a fire breaks out.

. Switch off all electrical ap-pliances when not in use.

. Do not overload plug points.

. Electrical connections mustbe professionally installed andproperly earthed with the cor-rect circuit breakers installed.

How to prevent shack fires. Keep a close eye on paraffin

stoves. Don’t cook near a win-dow with a curtain

. Make sure candles are se-cure and can’t fall over. Don’t goto sleep with candles still burn-ing

Foosballer needs a leg up to World CupTAURIQ HASSEN

WITH fierce concentration, a localwoman stares down at her foosball ta-ble, manoeuvring players on a stickand ending up on top of the pile.

Aminah Batchelor, 20, of Maitland ex-celled at theSouthAfricanFoosballCham-pionship in Johannesburg in September.Batchelor took first place in the doublesand second in the singles categories andqualified for next year’s Foosball WorldCup in France.

Batchelor first grabbed hold of the rodslast year, when she started playing social-ly at her college.

Soon she moved to a local pool loungein Athlone, where professional foosballplayers spotted her talent.

“I just started playing normally againstthese people and then they asked me tojoin themat theSAChampsand that’s how

it all started,” says Batchelor.However, lack of money can end Batch-

elor’s dream of taking part in the FoosballWorld Cup.

“I would really like to go and representmy country at this World Cup, but unfor-tunately I am not able to fund my trip,”says Batchelor.

Batchelor needs R25 000 to make herdream come true, which would cover airfare, food, kit, visa and insurance.

“This trip would mean so much to me,because I already proved I could be a forcein South Africa and would really like tosee what I am capable of on the interna-tional stage,” she says.

The Foosball World Cup in France kicksoff on 5 January next year, but players arerequired to book and enter the tourna-ment weeks before then.

Sponsors interested in assisting Batch-elor can contact her on (021) 510 3851 or 083597 4834.

Invest in South African goodsAS the holidays approach, the giantAsian factories are kicking intohigh gear to provide us with mon-strous piles of cheaply producedgoods,merchandiseproducedat theexpense of South African labour.

This year will be different.This year South Africans will

give the gift of genuine concern forother South Africans. There is nolonger an excuse that, at gift givingtime, nothing can be found that isproduced by South African hands.

Yes, there is plenty.It’s time to think outside the box,

people. Who says a gift needs to fitin a shirt box, wrapped in Chineseproduced wrapping paper?

Everyone, yes everyonegets theirhair cut.

How about gift certificates fromyour local hair salon or barber?

Gym membership?Who wouldn’t appreciate getting

their car valet’d?Small, South African-owned car

washes would love to sell you a giftcertificate or a book of gift certifi-cates.

Are you one of those extravagantgivers who think nothing of plonk-ing down the cash on a Chinese-made flat-screen? Perhaps thatgrateful gift receiver would like hisdriveway fixed, or lawn mowed forthe summer, or roof waterproofed

and painted.There are a Gazillion owner-run

restaurants all offering gift certifi-cates. And, if your intended isn’tthe fancy eatery sort, what about ahalf dozen breakfasts at the localbreakfast joint. Remember, folks,this isn’t about big National chains,this is about supporting your hometown South African with their fi-nancial lives on the line to keeptheir doors open.

How many people couldn’t use anoil change for their car, truckormo-torbike, done at a shop run by aSouth African working guy?

Thinking about a heartfelt gift formom?

Mom would love the services of alocal cleaning lady for a day.

Mycomputer coulddowithanup-grade, and I know I can find someyoung guy who is struggling to gethis repair business up and running.

Okay, you were looking for some-thing more personal. Local craftspeople are great. They make jewel-lery, pottery, knitted stuff, TeddyBears, paintings and home pre-serves etc.

Plan your holiday outings at lo-cal, owner operated restaurantsand leave your server a nice tip.And, how about going out to see aplay or ballet at your hometowntheatre.

Musicians need love too, so finda venue showcasing local bands.

Honestly, people, do you reallyneed to buy another ten thousandChinese lights for the house? Whenyou buy a R50 string of lights, aboutfifty cents stays in the community.If you have those kinds of bucks toburn, leave the mail man, trash guyor baby-sitter a nice BIG tip.

You see, Christmas is no longerabout draining South African pock-ets so that China can build anotherglittering city. Christmas is nowabout caring about us, encouragingsmall businesses to keep pluggingaway to follow their dreams. And,when we care about other South Af-ricans, we care about our communi-ties, and the benefits come back tous in ways we couldn’t imagine.This should be the new South Afri-can Christmas tradition.

Forward this to everyone on yourmailing list, post it to discussiongroups, throw up a post in your lo-cal newspaper in the Rants andRaves section, your radio stationsand TV news departments. This isa revolution of caring about eachother, and isn’t that what Christ-mas is about?

Buy South African, be south afri-can The job you save might be yourownUGU CARLINI

YourSMSesThe end of Mr Lonely

. A heartbreaking story of apoor carthorse’s suffering. Theowner deserves to be tortured.

. Pity the idiot witness did notalert the CHPA immediately, butwhy must you care? Moron.Hagy

. I don’t usually advocate vio-lence, but in the case ofMr Lonely I could quite happilyharness those three men to thecart and drive them to death. Icould quite happily match everywelt on that poor horse’s bodywith a matching one on theirs.RIP Mr Lonely.

. The bastards who abusedMr Lonely in that mannershould be treated in the samemanner and left to die as he did.May they rot in hell! HH

. Reading the shock-ing tale of Mr Lonelymade me ponder on theutter cruelty of man.Animals give total loveand obedience, asking

for very little in return.

Just a thought. In response to the SMS

about the length of CrimeStopnumbers, rather install the Pan-icGuard app and you only haveto shake your phone to send anSMS, location and video.

. The London Times reportsthat South Africa is the onlycountry in the world where af-firmative action is to favour ofthe majority.

. To the folk who gripe everyweek about companies: get realand contact them directly. Idoubt that they take notice ofyour SMS in the paper.

. Message to Minister Cwele:You can recognise foreign spiesbecause they wear socks withsandals!

. One day of stupid, danger-ous fun is causing us a lifetimeof heartache. Our dog ran awayon Guy Fawkes. Although shewas kept safely in the yard withthe two others, she ran away. Itsbeen almost a month now. Yes,your fun lasted for a few hours.

The Phantom strikes againThe Phantom strikes againTAMMY PETERSEN

AS a child he dreamt of becom-ing a lawyer, but today the spot-light marks his place in theworld – and it is not a courtroom. Kurt Haupt of Ronde-bosch has 10 years of acting ex-perience under his belt andplans to stay at centre stage foryears to come.

The 35-year-old can be seen inBroadway’s longest running musi-cal, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s ThePhantom of the Opera, which openedat the Artscape last Tuesday.

The story tells of a disfiguredmusical genius, known only asThe Phantom, who haunts thedepths of the Paris Opera House.Mesmerised by the talents andbeauty of a young soprano, Chris-tine, the Phantom makes her hisprotégé and falls fiercely in lovewith her.

Unaware of Christine’s love forRaoul, The Phantom’s obsessionsets the scene for a dramatic turn

of events where jealousy, madnessand passion collide.

Haupt plays Monsieur Reyer,the Opera’s chief répétiteur, or di-rector, whom he describes asbossy, single-minded and “justlike me.”

He trained at the University ofCape Town and stumbled onto thestage by chance.

“After my initial dream of be-coming a lawyer, I decided on mu-sic,” he says. “I taught myself toplay the piano, an instrumentabout which I am extremely pas-sionate.”

Then the acting bug bit. Hauptcompleted art studies and steppedout from behind the curtain.

“My first role was as Tony inWest Side Story and I enjoyed everyminute of it. But I also had my fairshare of roles as a tree in the back-ground.”

Since then, Kurt has appearedon stage in London and Singaporein Carmen, Chicago and the RockyHorror Picture Show.

But the thespian is in his ele-

ment in the current production,describing the experience as “ex-hilarating and lekker.”

“The opening night didn’t go asplanned as the paint on the scen-ery hadn’t dried by the time wehad to start. Wet paint would havedamaged costumes, among otherthings.However, the showmust goon and we gave a ‘concert version’and all was well again,” he says,adding that night two went “muchbetter.”

“This is an extravaganza thatshouldn’t be missed. I hope that asmany people as possible get to seeit.”

It is an artistic feast of jaw-drop-ping scenery, exquisite costumesand breathtaking special effects.

The season ends on 15 January2012. Tickets cost from R125 viaComputicket or (021) 421 7695.

Paddle to paddle for a good causeTHE first Oxford-Cambridgeboat race in Africa took place onSaturday at the V&A Water-front, with Cambridge takingfirst place.

South African publishers OxfordUniversity Press (OUP) and Cam-bridge University Press (CUP), tra-ditional rivals in educational pub-lishing, decided to organise a localboat race in aid of a good cause. Sev-eral dignitaries from education inthe Western Cape also participated.

The publishing houses went headto head in Dragon boats instead ofthe traditional racing boats used inthe university races.

Each boat was manned by 18 staffmembers building not only teamspirit, but raising funds for ShineCentre, a non-profit organisationthat provides support in literacy

and language enrichment to chil-dren.

Colleen McCallum, managing di-rector of Cambridge, said: “My staffjust loves the opportunity to com-pete against the ‘Other UniversityPress’ in this way, which makes achange from competing in the mar-ket. What better way to help raisemuch-needed funds to supply read-ers to Shine.”

Lieze Kotze, managing director ofOUP, said her team plans to raise ahundred thousand rand for theShine Centre.

An SMS line has been created andall proceeds will go to the ShineCentre. To donate, SMS the wordShine to 38270.

SMS lines open until Friday 16December. Free SMSes do not quali-fy.

Mayor backs national softball teamLYNN PRINS

WITHjustaweek togobefore thefirst pitch in the Junior Women’sWorld Series at Turfhall Stadi-um in Athlone, People’s Postchatted with the Mayor, who hada message for the South Africannational team: “I am very proudof the achievements of the ladiesin our national team, I knowthey will be good hosts and willdo our City proud. The ladies willrepresent the best of what youngpeople can be, and make theright choices.”

She also said that hosting the JW-WC is an opportunity to give soft-ball more exposure and to intro-duce young Capetonians to thesport.

“Cape Town’s youth often facenegative influences. Upgrading andmaintaining sports facilities is oneway in which we, as a caring city,provide alternative spaces wherethey can thrive,” she said.

People’s Post also caught up withGrant Pascoe, Executive MayoralCommittee Member for Tourism,Events and Marketing.

When asked what it would meanfor the City, he said: “Tourism playsamajor role in the economicgrowthof the City, and Cape Town is nodoubt the tourist Mecca of South Af-

rica. Events like these are majorcontributing factors.”

Pascoe will attend most of thegames and praised the softball re-

porting in People’s Post.“It is important that the smaller

sports codes, like softball, get themedia coverage it deserves.

“These codes do not enjoy thebenefits of corporate sponsorshipand require the kind of exposureyou are affording softball.

“Your initiative to partner soft-ball in this World event will not gounnoticed and will give other,smaller codes the confidence to hostnational and international events.”

People’s Post Editor, Feroza Mill-er-Isaacs, commented on the factthat the paper will be on the sameplatform as the foreign press, likeit was during the 2010 Soccer WorldCup.

She said: “The role of communitynewspapers in public discoursecannot be underestimated. It is im-portant that both free sheets anddailies provide premium coverageof the JWWC,” she said.

“People’s Post is privileged andproud to partner a sporting event ofthis magnitude and importance.Sport, as a positive alternative foryoung people, plays a more promi-nant role in today’s challengingtimes.

“With the temptations of sub-stance abuse as an outlet, sport of-fers a choice.

“We therefore fully support andapplaud the efforts of all role play-ers to bring this prestigious eventto fruition,” said Miller-Isaacs.

The JWWC starts on Wednesday7 December and ends on Saturday17 December.

Tickets cost R20 per day and canbe bought online at www.com-puticket.com
