Path open to schoolworkGARY VAN DYK

Bushes near Maitland High School wereput to the sword, saw and power saw –

to make the area safer for pupils.Maitland police, with theMaitland Neigh-

bourhood Watch, Brooklyn/ YsterplaatNeighbourhood Watch and the Maitland

City Improvement District, participated ina project to rid the field of the dense busheson Wednesday last week.Constable Lorencial Johnson, spokesper-

son of Maitland police, said this project wasvery important because the bushes and treeswere a problem: “The aim of cutting downthe trees was to make the area safer for thepupils, as people use the thickness of the

bush to hide in or to sleep. Children were al-so being robbed of their personal belong-ings, ever since the school opened. Crime inthe area has also picked up in the vicinityof the bush as there is also no fencing to di-vide the schoolgrounds from the bush.“With the bush cut down a clear view of

the schoolground is now possible.“Pupils would also use the route through

the bush to get to theYsterplaat train stationand that put them at risk of being robbed.The vibracrete wall of the school was stolen,which will cost the school a lot of money torebuild.“The safety of the pupils is very important

to all the roleplayers involved and we as thepolice would like to extend our gratitude toall who participated.”

The City Hall clock is once again runningon time after several glitches and subse-

quent repairs to this half scale replica of BigBen.The City of Cape Town undertook emer-

gency repairs on the iconic clock after itstopped working in 2013. It had been operat-ed manually for short periods of time up un-til the fault was repaired.The clock in the turret ismodelled on Lon-

don’s Big Ben and is exactly half the size. Itstrikes the hours and chimes the Westmin-ster Quarters melody.Time Menders, a specialised subcontrac-

tor, suggested that the clock was in need ofcomplete restoration.One of the main reasons that the restora-

tion was needed was because the old greaseand oil were impregnating the gear teeth.This can cause excessive wear on both gearteeth and pinions.Work began in early 2014 and the clock

was completely dismantledwith all workingparts restored to original condition andsome re-engineering being done.

All of the work was done to original speci-fications and all parts were kept original toensure that no historical value was lost.

“A system will be put in place where theclock ismonitored on a regular basis, so thatany wear on working parts can be analysed

and repaired as soon as possible to preventfuture problems,” says Garreth Bloor, may-oral committee member for tourism, eventsand economic development.

The next phase of the repair and restora-tion is already being planned.

“Ihaveno closure.Wedidn’t do a properburial or send-off for our lovely catand that hurts the most.”

These are thewords ofWayne CleinwerckfromDiepRiverwho ismourning his pet catthatwasallegedly shot andkilledbyaneigh-bour on Friday 29 January.His one-year-old cat Nahla had allegedly

been shot with a high pressure air rifle ina communal garden.The cat has not been

found and Cleinwerckhas opened a case withthe police.His neighbour Anto-

nie Gericke, who is ac-cused of killing the cat,appeared in the Wyn-berg Magistrate’s Courton charges of animalcruelty on Thursdaylast week.Representatives of the

Cat Trapping Associa-tion, friends and familyof Cleinwerck came to court to support thecat lover.Gericke told prosecutor Craig Esterhuyse

that he would be representing himself incourt. The case has been postponed to 1March for further investigation.After his brief court appearance, Gericke

spoke to People’s Post and said he was sorryfor what he had done and that it had beenhis mistake. “I didn’t mean to hurt the cat.I’m a bird lover. There is nothing I can donow, it’s just that the cat was playing withmy birds.“I haven’t spoken to the family to apolo-

gise because I don’t want things to get outof hand, but I’m really sorry. I have no idea

what happened to the cat after it ran outand someone says they saw it cross theroad. That’s all I can say for now, the restI will say to the magistrate,” he said.Cleinwerck, who was accompanied to

court by his girlfriend Bliqees Masoet,says they want to see justice done. “Wesearched, but we could not find the cat.[Gericke] admitted shooting the cat to an-other neighbour and said he shot its paw.We just want to know where he put herbody, because he confessed that he killedthe cat. Checking the video footage of our

complex, it shows himlooking outside thecourtyard to see ifthere was anyonethere. The next thinghe is coming out witha carrier bag, but youcan’t see what’s in-side.“Six minutes later

he comes back into hisflat. That makes methink that he went todispose Nahla’s body.Why would he go out

with a bag when our garbage is collectedon a Thursday?” asks Cleinwerck.He and Masoet confronted Gericke the

same night andwere told that their cat hadbeen in Gericke’s garden upsetting hisbirds. “That’s nothis garden.This is a com-munal garden. What really makes me up-set is the fact that not even once have I gota complaint about the cat in ‘his garden’,”says Cleinwerck.Stella Ramage, another neighbour, says

she and her son saw it all through theirwindow and it left them traumatised. “Weheard a loud bang, so we peeked throughthe window. I then saw [Gericke] pick upthe cat, which was covered in blood, [and

take it] into his flat.“My son is only four years old and he had

to go for counselling. I’m also going for coun-selling because after he noticed that we sawthem he came to my flat. He said I shouldn’tsay anything because if I said anything aboutthe cat I would be in trouble. I asked him totake the cat to the vet, but he said the cat wasfine. I told him to give it to me so that I couldtake it to the vet; he refused and kept the catin his house. “He was being aggressive andthreatening, so much so that my son beganto cry, so I asked him to leave as he was get-ting upset. That’s when I called Wayne tocome home,” she says.

June Bradbury of the Cat Trapping Associ-ation says she is very angry about the situa-tion. “It really pains me. We rescued the catfrom appalling conditions and we had to gothrough a lot to nurse her and now that shehad found a loving home this happens.”Belinda Abraham from the Cape of Good

Hope SPCA says it is a very serious matter.“The SPCA views this matter as a callous actof animal brutality and has laid chargesagainst the accused. The police confiscatedthe alleged shooter’s rifle. In addition to this,the SPCA will appeal to the magistrate for adeprivation of ownership order, preventingthe accused from ever owning an animal.”

District Six was originally estab-lished as amixed community of

freed slaves, merchants, artisans,labourers and immigrants.It was amixed-use area, explains

District Six Museum director Bon-ita Bennett, made up of mostly aresidential community, places ofworship, schools, sports clubs andcommunity centres.“Structures were grand old

buildings with intricate architec-ture, some crumbling and in needof repairs butmanystill sturdyandinhabitable. People from all overlived there,” she says.The area was much like “down-

town Harlem in New York Citybreathing a life of its own”, saysShahied Ajam, a former residentand chairperson of the District SixWorking Committee.“It was a city within a city and

life was relatively good despite ourhardships. Trade and commercewere vibrant and it ‘felt good’ to bea part of this cosmopolitan commu-nity,” he says.But all this changed on 11 Febru-

ary 1966, when it was declared awhite area. Over the next twentyyears the community was forciblyremoved to the Cape Flats.

Looking backYusuf Khan remembers the day

he realised he would have to leave,after hearing the news while atwork at the harbour.“I understood we would have to

move, but I refused to move toMitchell’s Plain. I said: ‘They willhave to throw me out.’”Butworking later shifts,withhis

four daughters and three sons athome, the safety of his childrensoon became an issue.“It was dangerous for them. Peo-

ple would come to the empty hous-es next door and set them alight,”he remembers.“We moved on a Friday night in

November or December to Lente-geur.Whenwe got there, therewasno electricity.”Harold Titus was 15 when the

declaration was made. Havingbeen born and growing up in Dis-trict Six, in a diverse community,he had little understanding ofwhatit would mean for his family.“There was no difference be-

tween Muslim and Jewish, or be-

tweenwhite and coloured,” he saysof District Six. In 1979, he wasforced to move with his wife andthree children to Manenberg.Leaving District Six broke his

heart, Khan says.“People talk about the rainbow

nation, but that was the real rain-bow nation. Our neighbours werewhite and three houses down wereblacks. We were all friends. Theyplayed rugby onour teamandwentto the bioscope with us,” he says.The lesson to take from District

Six is that there is nothing to fearin diversity, Bennett says.“Themore diverse a community,

the more enriched the communitymembers are likely to be as a result

of their exposure to different waysof being, different cultural normsand ways of life. A vibrant publiccultural life is the result,” she says.In the fifty years since the decla-

ration, somenotable achievementshave come out of District Six, Ben-nett believes, in the affirmation ofthe cultural contribution of artists,writers, political thinkers and oth-ers from the area.“There has been a growing

awareness of a particular way oflife that was exemplary in all itscomplexity. There has been anawareness that restitution is notonly about building and claiminghomes, but also about the culturalmemory of the community. With-

out ensuring that the intangiblevalues and heritage of the commu-nity is protected, District Six resti-tution is likely to just be a concretejungle,” she says.

Looking forwardHowever, a lagging restitution

process still remains a deep disap-pointment to many, Bennett says.The 50th anniversary of the dec-

laration naming District Six awhite area means “rememberingthe pain, anguish, dehumanisa-tion, deprivation and degenerationwhich forced removals broughtwith it,” Ajam says.“The people need closure and the

land claims commission, as well asthe newly revitalised Land ClaimsCourt, need to practically imple-ment the transformational intentof the provisions of the AmendedRestitution of Land Rights,” hesays.“Restitution inDistrict Six is not

about half-baked housing schemesdoomed to fail. Restitution is aboutrestoring the rights of people,” hesays.But the future of District Six

looks bright, Bennett says.“We look forward to a vibrant

community which is both aware ofand invested in its heritage; a com-munity which can build a post-apartheid diversity and has struc-tures and leaders who can help toimagine a future together.”Khan believes the culture and

heritage of District Six will be car-ried forward by the future genera-tion.“It won’t be the same, but I’d like

for my grandchildren to go back. Itwould be nice. A fresh start,” hesays.

District Six encapsulated “a particular way of life that was exemplary in all its complexity” before it was declareda white area exactly fifty years ago, says the director of the District Six Museum. The area was declared a whitearea exactly 50 years ago on Thursday this week. PHOTO: RICHARD GIRDWOOD/ DISTRICT SIX MUSEUM

Album of winnersAlbum of winnersTOAST COETZER

Local singer-songwriter Simon van Gendhad 52 songs to choose from for his latest

album, Suffer Well, which will be launchedthis weekend.To set yourself the goal of writing a song

a week for 52 consecutive weeks seems likea fair enough goal if you’re a full-timemusi-cian. But Simon, from Observatory, isn’t afull-time musician, even though he has –over the past 15 years – made a name forhimself as one of Cape Town’s best singer-songwriters.In 2014 Simon started a blog called “A

Song aWeek” and set out to pen a new songeveryweek for a year. This commitment ledto a creative routine and it soon yielded re-sults.“Once you get into the writing process

one great idea inspires the next one. Everytime Iwrite a song I try towrite a good song,but sometimes they end up good and othertimes they don’t. Often the ones peoplethink are fantastic are ones I just thoughtwere okay. During this process of writinga song a week I realised that I’m the worstperson to judge whether a song is worth itor not.“Perhaps a song that reveals too much

personal stuff is a song that ends up beingthe most effective one. But in the past thatdefence mechanism would kick in, as if I

wanted to resist revealing the personalstuff. But with my weekly deadline Icouldn’t hold anything back.”At the end of each month, Simon went in

to Chris Tuck’s studio in Cape Town andlaid down four tracks. These would then bereleased on his blog – one a week – duringthemonth that followedwhile heworked onthe next batch of four songs.With Chris as producer Simon ended up

putting 14 of the 52 tracks on the albumwhich was to be called Suffer Well. The al-bum, Simon’s fifth, was released in Septem-ber last year at a collaborative event withartist Sanet Stegmann at Youngblood Gal-lery in the city centre. Sanet also created thecover and sleeve artwork for Suffer Well.Picking the album tracks was made eas-

ier for Simon with outside help.“I took into account what people liked on

the blog, and then friends, and my bandmembers, Ross Campbell (from Mowbray)and Eric Michot (from Observatory), alsoweighed in.“In the past I’d go into the studio with 15

to 20 songs to choose from, but now I had52. This meant that I didn’t have to compro-mise on quality. Every song was a winner.”V Simon will be launching Suffer Well with his bandat the Deer Park Café in Vredehoek on Saturday at14:00, where the band will be joined by Gene andFrancis Kierman. Call 021 462 6311 to book or visitwww.simonvangend.com for more.

Pupils get clothing donationsGARY VAN DYK

@gvdcapejazz

WD Hendricks Primary Schoolin Factreton has a partner in

positivity in the Factreton Com-munity Development Organisa-tion (Facdo).The organisation, that started in

June last year, is building up a rep-utation for making a positive dif-ference in the community. It addedto that reputation with a randomact of kindness at the school.On Thursday last week the orga-

nisation rocked up at the schoolwith a donation of clothing for pu-pils.Founder and chairperson Ricar-

do van Niekerk explained that thedonation was only a small part ofwhat they wanted to do in theneighbourhood.“We want to eradicate poverty

through our many outreach pro-grammes,” he said.“Currently we are only ten vol-

unteers, but we are determined tomake a difference in the lives ofothers and hope that more peoplewill join us.”

Many projectsHe explained that the random

acts of kindness in which they givefood, clothing or a helping hand tothose inneedwere only one of theirprojects to help others.“We have a project where we

called on a sponsor to pay for theuniforms, stationery and fees offive needy pupils,” he said.“A big part of our activities is al-

soworkingwith youth andweoffercomputer training for them at the

library.“We also offer life skills projects

in which Emile Jansen from BlackNoise comes out to give motiva-tional talks, educating pupilsabout our realities we face, like

gangsterism, drugs, substanceabuse and violence.“Nutrition for the needy is also

important, so we also host varioussoup kitchens in the area.”Van Niekerk added that this was

not the last project at the school.“We hope to build up a partner-

ship with the school to encourageand motivate the pupils to alwaysaim to be the best.“Now we are appealing for part-

nerswhowant to be part of our pro-jects with donations or help in anyform.”V For more information about Facdo con­tact Van Niekerk on 060 325 8698 orfacdo7405@gmail.com.

MIKE’S OCEAN TALES

The truth aboutGreat WhitesOne of the most hated and misunderstood animals that hasever set foot on this planet, or put fin towater, areGreatWhitesharks. Sci-fi movies and shark attacks have resulted in a tar-nished reputation in recent times.Sharks have been roaming the ocean for more than 400m

years, even predating the Jurassic period. A testament to theadaptation techniques of sharks is that they have survivedmany mass extinctions, including the extinction that wipedout the dinosaurs. This great adaptation has resulted insharks becoming an apex predator of the ocean, i.e. being atthe top of the food chain.Although Great Whites are widely distributed in the global

ocean, they are extremely common along the South Africancoastline, particularly in places such as Gansbaai, False Bayand Mossel Bay.These areas are also known for the large amounts of fish

and seals on which Great Whites feed. In the winter months,Seal Island in False Bay is a popular hunting ground forGreatWhite sharks.GreatWhite sharks, despite popularbelief, are in fact select-

ive predators. It often occurs that GreatWhites swim throughthe surf of popular swimming spots along the False Bay coastwithout attacking any people in the water.Although there are shark attacks that occur yearly, it is ex-

tremely rare for a shark attack to be fatal. Last year, onlythree people died from a shark attack which is an extremelylow number compared to the 100m sharks that are killed eachyear by humans.Sharks have no natural predators. However, due to the

large amount that are killed each year, the population num-bers are drastically declining. This decline could have a dras-tic impact on the food web as sharks feed on seals who in turnfeed on fish.If the seal population increases, the fish population will de-

crease, which would have a negative impact on the fishingindustry.This has resulted in many countries, such as Australia and

New Zealand, protecting the Great White shark.It is important that we change the false perception we have

of the GreatWhite shark and, instead, focus on learningmoreabout this creature.

LETTERS

Letter to mystepson’s killerYou killed my stepson nearlytwo years ago, but yet you arestill roaming free.Do you realise what you have

done? You not only took a lifebut you have destroyed afamily; you took a son from hisfather and also a father fromhis son – as my stepson’sgirlfriend was expecting whenyou shot and killed him.The boy is now being raised

by his grandmother and he willnever know his father, nor willmy stepson ever hold his son inhis arms, because of you.You broke my husband’s

spirit; he is no longer the manhe once was. He now drinks tonumb the pain and has all butforgotten about his two youngdaughters, because of you. I amthe one who has been trying topick up the pieces of myhusband’s broken heart.It has been nearly two years

since you killed my husband’sson, but he saw you for thefirst time in court yesterday,and do you know what? I havenot seen my husband since heleft for court yesterday, becauseof you.Do you even think of what

you did, do you? How sick mustyou have been to drink yourselfto a stupor and go shoot blindlyat people? But you must nothave been that drunk becauseyou shot to kill; you shot himin his thigh, neck and chest.He still managed to run to his

mother’s house where he finallysuccumbed to his wounds andfor my husband to find himstill lying there, not even beingable to touch his son because ofyou.You are the killer, but yet

you were placed in protectivecustody because you havemoney.What did my stepson do to

you that justified you takinghis life?You thought you were doing

the people a favour, but younever thought of the destructionyou left in your wake.Your family is still in one

piece but my and my husband’sare in tatters because of you.I hope your conscience keeps

you up at night, the way myhusband cannot sleep becauseof what you have done.

Partnerships are underway to ensure thehealth of local wetlands andwaterways.

Zandvlei Estuary is open again for recrea-tional use and a host of wildlife.This is the result of the Westlake wet-

lands project, which has been so successfulthat similar strategies are being rolled outacross the city.The project saw a partnership of local

residents, the City of Cape Town and busi-nesses to remove the alien water hyacinthfrom the estuary waters, explains JohnFowkes, coordinator of the ZandvleiTrust’s Westlake wetlands project.Water hyacinth has no natural predators

in the estuary and can double in size in just40 days. The carpet of plants cuts out airand light to thewater, and the plants under-neath die. These plants then drop to thefloor of the estuary and decompose, creat-ing an uninhabitable environment for fish.“When the fish go, the birds that live on

the fish go as well. It has a dramatic impacton the ecosystem if you don’t keep wateropen and flowing,” he says.The weeds also make it impossible to

have recreational activity on the water.The Zandvlei area is known mostly as a

water recreation zone for visitors sailingyachts and paddling in canoes. Conservingthe natural habitat of fish and birds and en-suring good water quality, however, is notonly vital for the ecosystem, but also neces-sary to reduce flood risk and ensure its con-tinued use as a recreational area.As the only estuary on False Bay,

Zandvlei is vital to support marine fishing,as young species live and grow in the estu-ary before returning to the sea.A string of recycled plastic bottles was

strung across the waterway and covered ina sheath of shade net, which isolated thewater hyacinth.PenBev, the local bottler and distributor

of Coca-Cola Company products in theWestern andNorthern Cape, which provid-ed funding to mechanically clear the alienfrom the main waterways, while an unem-ployed local was hired to clear the weedfrom the smaller areas.However, this proved only partially suc-

cessful and Rhodes University was ap-proached for help. They introduced an in-sect, referred to as biocontrol agents, thatwould naturally feed on thewater hyacinthin its home of the Amazon. These complet-ed the removal of the alien species.A similar project has since been used on

the Black River, which was also “choked”,says Fowkes. “Nowadays you’ll see flamin-gos returning to theBlackRiver. The initia-tive that PenBev helped us to introduce hasspread far and wide. The council is usingsimilar methods to those we introduced inZandvlei’s Westlake wetlands,” says Fowk-es.Unfortunately, since thewaterways have

been cleared, other weeds have taken thehyacinth’s place. The City’s Kader Asmalintegrated catchment management projectis now removing alien weeds like water let-tuce, parrot’s feather, Kariba weed and yel-low Mexican water lily.The insect mass rearing facility in West-

lake, which belongs to the City’s invasivespecies unit, is using an organic, cost-effec-tive and environmentally safe biologicalcontrol method to curb invasive plants bybreeding and releasing insects as theplants’ natural enemies.The facility, which offers inclusive job

creation for people with special needs, hasbeen focusing on insects to control pricklypear and devastating infestations of the in-vasive aquatic weeds.
