Sherecreates the classics of yesteryear, especially those beauties nolonger available on the market, in contemporary upholstery fabricsand finishes. It's the solution if you admire the past, but prefersomething new…

What’s more, De Crespigny applies her own interior design skills tocreating all-new furniture options such as lighting and accessoriesthat are incredibly contemporary yet have a retro air about them.These custom-designed “bridging” products are intended to liveseamlessly alongside their classic counterparts.

Keeping calm in chaos can savethe day.Thiswas the scenario at the

Maitland police station recentlywhen a calm cop kept his head todefuse a dangerous situation in-side the facility.Communications officer Consta-ble Lorencial Johnson explainedthat the hero for the day was War-rant Officer Albertus Burger.“This life or death situationplayed itself out at about 14:30 (onGoodFriday),whenaderanged for-eign national man produced ahunting knife and threatened touse it on anyone who wanted totake it from him,” he says.“It is believed that earlier he ranin and out of businesses alongVoortrekker Road as he was mak-ing his way towards the Maitlandpolice station.”

Defusing the situationOfficers had their hands full aseveryone had their fire armsdrawn and pointed at the man whowas at this point standing in themiddle of the community servicecentre, Johnson says.“Warrant Officer Burger, how-ever, kept a cool head and upon hisarrival saw about fourteen firearms from police officers drawnand pointed at the male in a verytense standoff.“Burger, who is stationed at Pin-eland police station, being thehighest rank on the scene, saw thatthis situation could turn into ablood bath and immediately decid-

ed to approach themanwithout hisfirearm drawn.”Johnson explained that alreadyhaving survived both a bomb ex-plosion as well as being shot, Burg-er knew exactly the risk he wastaking in doing so but did it to savea person’s life and the lives of hisfellow officers involved.“He communicatedwith themanfirmly and informed him of thedangerous situation he found him-self in and demanded that he handover the hunting knife which hethen did.“With the situation being de-fused without a single shot beingfired, it was established that theman should be taken to hospital fora psychiatric assessment.”

Lives savedThis was not the end of the sagabecause while he was being escort-ed to the police vehicle, the manused his strength to break free andran into oncoming traffic in Voor-trekker Road.“Luckily with the assistance oftwo men, the deranged person wasgrabbed and placed in the patrolvehicle,”said Johnson.He was then transported to anearby hospital for assessment.Due to the bravery and calmnessof Burger, who has 32 years of ser-vice to the police, a life threateningsituation was ended with no loss oflives.“The management of Maitlandpolice would also like to expresstheir gratitude towardswarrant of-ficer Burger’s unselfish role in de-fusing the situation,” concludedJohnson.

of People’s Post I would not havebeenreunitedwithmysonand thatwasmy onlywish before I closemyeyes for eternity,” Maritz says.Josephs says he couldn’t be hap-

pier to be reunited with his birthmother.He tells excitedly how they de-

cided to contact Rachel – who as-sisted Maritz with her search.“The day the People’s Post came

CHEVON BOOYSEN@ChevonBooysen

Amother’s mission to find hermissing son has ended with amiracle – and People’s Post

played a part in the fairytale end-ing.The power of the press has been

proven after the story of a GrassyPark mother who longed to meether son “before I close my eyes”,was published last year. That wishhas been granted.Betty Maritz (83) now has a con-

stant smile and says she is sleepingmore peacefully since she was re-united with her son.People’s Post previously report-

ed onMaritz’s plight to be reunitedwith her son after 64 years after hewas taken by a guardian Maritzlived with at the time (“Longing tosee son after 64 years”, Tuesday 25August).After the article was printed,

Maritz said someone contacted heron the same day to meet with her.“That day aman and twowomen

pulled up at my house,” she says.“At the time it was obviously not

confirmedhewasmy son butwhenthatmangot out of the car, a feelingjust came up in me and I just knewit had to be him,” Maritz says.She explains the trio then told

her that they read the article andthey suspectedJosephJosephswasher son “because I explained thebirthmark in the article”.Asked what transpired during

their first meeting and what madeJosephs think the long lost soncould be him, Maritz says “he fellwhen he was younger and when he

got hurt his guardian shout-ed ‘die is nie my kind nie’(This is not my child)”.That stayed with him all

the time and he in turn alsohad a longing to find out whohis real mother was.“We then decided to do

blood tests to confirm if hewas really my son. However,deep in my heart I just knewthat I had finally found mysonbecausehe looks just likeme,” she says.Three weeks passed after

the blood tests and then emo-tional news came to the fami-ly confirming Josephs is herson. “Since then we havebeen in regular contact andthey have been visiting meas well. I have a daughter-in-lawaswell as grand-children

and great-grand-children. When Iwent to visit themattheir home in Zeek-oevlei they had abraai for me andthere I also met mydaughter-in-law’smother. They are re-ally very lovely peo-ple,” Maritz beams.She adds her neigh-

bours have been aselated to hear thegood news and “alsoexcitedly shout ‘joukind is hier’ whenever theycome to visit,” laughs Maritz.Added to the trail of joyous

events sincemeeting her son, Mar-itz celebrated her 83rd birthdaywith her son and his family whenthey treated her to a surprisebreakfast. “I am so glad my searchis over and sincemy son camebackinto my life, I have been able tosleep easier. If it wasn’t for the help

out, I fetched it myself at the shopand sat reading quietly while mywifewas cooking. I cameacross thestory of Betty and some thingsstarted to resonate with me espe-cially the birthmark description,”he says.Josephs says he read the article

quietly by himself first before tell-ing his wife about it. “She has al-ways supported me in trying tofindmy birth mother. She even en-couraged me to write to a TV showwho reunites families. When Ishowed her the article she just toldme ‘daai is jou ma’. We then madecontact with her and visited theday after,” Josephs recalls.He says when they arrived out-

side Maritz’s home, she camestraight to him and held him. “Sheheld me really tight and there wasa connection there. I felt somethingthough it was not yet officially con-firmed. The blood tests then later

revealed thatshe is indeedmy mother,”he says.Since their

meeting Jo-sephs sayshis familyhas uncondi-tionally ac-cepted Mar-itz as part ofthe family.“My chil-

dren andgrandchil-dren accepther whole-heartedlyand theycall hertheir MaBetty.”Added

to thisstring ofhappy

events, on Saturday Maritz cele-brated her 83rd birthday with Jo-sephs and his family.“After my wife found out it

would be my mother’s birthday,she said we have to do somethingfor her. So we decided on a break-fast at ourhomeonSaturdaymorn-ing,” he says.“I canonly thankGod formaking

this all come together like this,” Jo-sephs concludes.

Reunited with son after 64 years

Bettie Maritz had an urgent plea last year to be reunited with her only

child who was taken away from her a day after giving birth.

There’s a new sense of service deliveryat Groote Schuur Hospital with someexciting new innovations in action at

the facility.These innovations were celebrated at a

special event last Tuesday (5 April) to high-light the impact that these projects havemade to hospital employees and patients.The Innovation Programmewas launched

in October 2014 and was offered by the Ber-tha Centre for Social Innovation and Entre-preneurship (a specialised unit at UCT’sGraduate School of Business), the hospital’sfacilities and management board as well asthe UCT Faculty of Health Sciences.OverR1mwas invested in the programme,

the dedicated Innovation Hub and the em-ployee projects and tools. Ten projects werelaunched and over the programme period,two projects in particular, the Time Ma-chine and the Guide Pill Box, were both ableto refine their innovations after the envi-sioned outcomes did not materialise.The Time Machine project dealt with em-

ployee shifts that are often based on histori-cal arrangements, and top down attempts tochange thesewereoftenmetwith resistance.Now there is a tool which allows employ-

ees to design their own work arrangementsby letting them see the impact their shiftshave on the throughput (time patients comein to them leaving) rate of patients.The tool not only allowed health care

workers to positively impact patientthroughput, it also demonstrated that theuse of an outdated patient booking systemcontributed to processing delays.This has now been addressed and results

being monitored.DrWafeeqahMohamed, a community ser-

vice doctor, created the Guide Pill Box.For many doctors a common complaint is

that patients do not understand the medica-tion they are on, nor when or how to takeit.Mohamed explained that it acts as a medi-

cation storage device, which also supportsthe education of patients about their chronicmedication.Due to her tenacity and passion, the

project has now received support from the

UCT Faculty of Health Sciences and stu-dents participating in theHealth Innovationand Design course. The students will be as-sisting Mohamed in piloting the Guide PillBox prototype at Groot Schuur Hospital.Another interesting innovation is the ado-

lescent-centered service design that wasdone by Dr Bianca Davidson of the RenalUnit. Adolescents with kidney failure, on di-alysis or awaiting transplant have to makesubstantial changes to their lives, at a timewhen they are already going through a tran-sition period. This project aims to redesignthe way care is provided to adolescents inan outpatient setting by engaging patients tocreate the service that they need and want.There is also a personal development initi-

ative for staff with staff well-being, motiva-tion and engagement a major problem,which aims to tackle this by developing acoaching programme delivered through vid-eos that will work at scale across the hospi-tal.The Resource Hub is another important

innovation. Judy Wallace from the derma-

tology department explained that when pa-tients are diagnosed with a chronic condi-tion, they are often unware of all the resour-ces available to them.“Awalk-in resource centre that offers sup-

port through online resources, books, andtrained health navigators is the solution,”she said. “The centre enables patients andothers to access information and supportwith regard to their health needs while inthe environment of the hospital.”A partnership between doctors and IT ro-

botic specialists makes science-fiction be-come a reality with the innovation createdfor surgeons. This project by doctors Jonat-han King and Kamlin Edambaram with ITinput fromPieter Holtzhausen and FrancoisMalan enables hands-free interaction elec-tronic radiological images during surgeryvia use of the Leap Motion Controller.It will enhance operative planning and pa-

tient counselling by providing an effectivevisualisation of the operation with intuitiveinteraction, given the 3D nature of the de-vice.

Cape Town’s first literary festival celebrat-ing Jewish authors and culture, will take

place next month.The Jewish Literary Festival will show-

case authors, poets, illustrators, journalists,writers and educators who have a Jewishconnection or are engaged with subjects ofJewish interest. The venue is the GardensCommunity Centre in Cape Town, home tothe acclaimed Jacob Gitlin Library which ispartnering the festival.Organiser Cindy Moritz says the festival

was inspiredby following influential anddy-namic Jewish literary events around theworld, such as London’s Jewish BookWeek.“Receiving regular news of fabulous Jew-

ish authors and Jewish-themed literatureprompted us to create an event of our ownto celebrate local talent and participate in agreater recognition of this genre,” she says.“We partnered with the Jacob Gitlin Li-brary, an existing and valuable repositoryof Jewish books in Cape Town, and built onthat foundation to create a debut,multifacet-ed one-day event.”Literature and Jewish culture are closely

linked, Moritz says.“There is a firm, historical connection be-

tween Jews and words. Amos Oz and his

daughter, historian Fania Oz-Salzberger,dedicated an entire book to exploring theconnection. We aim to keep the Jewish liter-ary tradition alive and thriving at the south-ern tip of Africa, and felt that holding a festi-val was the most effective way to do so.”The inaugural event is also part of a year-

long programmemarking the 175th anniver-sary of South African Jewry.The programme aims to promote con-

structive dialogue anddiscussion in the truespirit of Jewish life without promoting anysingle political or religious agenda.“Wewelcome anyone who loves literature

and is interested in Jewish life and culture.Literature is a way to build bridges betweencommunities. There is so much more to be-ing Jewish than the obvious.Our strong con-nection with words is an aspect of Jewishculture that is relatable and accessible. Theevent creates a space to explore various as-pects of the Jewish culture by introducingwriters, topics and areas of Jewish interestthrough words,” she says.More than 24 events will cover a variety

of genres such as fiction, food, memoir, poli-tics, academia, scriptwriting, journalism,and the arts.V The festival is scheduled for Sunday 22 May from09:00 to 17:00 at the Gardens Community Centre inHatfield Street. Visit www.jewishliteraryfestival.co.za.Tickets are available from Quicket.

Mermaids, sea goddesses and fish youmightwell expect to find underwater. Butaphoto exhibitionbyLaurenceSavaryal-so captures submerged flowers, animals,birds and insects.Savary is a French photographer cele-

brating the beauty of the Cape. Her Lebeau Cap exhibitions have revealed Capebotany, human hair and minstrels.This series showcases a range of tattoos

captured while underwater at the SeaPoint pool.The exhibition was opened yesterday

by Belinda Walker, Mayco member forcommunity services and special projects,

and will run at the Sea Point Library upto May.One of the city’s more inclusive areas,

the photos are a range of tattoo designson a range of skins, Savary explains.“I am a swimmer at Sea Point Pool, the

world’s most beautiful pool. As a photog-rapher, I noticed that underwater tattoodesigns look more exciting. I became cu-rious to spot different creatures in thewa-ter focusing on the design – for itself inde-pendent of the carrying body,” she ex-plains.“I imagined a natural park of designs.

Over a year during the swimming sea-sons, I have captured animals, birds, in-sects, fish, monsters, numbers andquotes.”Savary was intrigued to see how water

movements combine with light from sunrays to make tattoo images look alive inthree dimensions.However, the project was not without

challenges, as the photos are only takenin thewater.Her supply of tattoo and skintones was limited to swimmers in thepool, andat one stage she struggled to findtattoos of fish and sea creatures.The public is invited to interact with

the images. There will be a colouringcompetition for children and adults areinvited to created stories for the images“as if they came out the water”, Savarysays.“My photographs are but seeds, which

my exhibitions plant into people’s eyes.”

Hambasafe, a group that has banded to-gether to develop a safety app, is one

step closer to delivering on their promise.“What we hope to achieve is to get people

to take action and become an active part ofthe solution. Hambasafe is about bringingpeople together. And we’re bringing togeth-er South Africans who wouldn’t normallywork together.”This comes after the idea for the applica-

tion was triggered by Ryan O’Connor,KFM’s breakfast show host, following thespate of brutal contact crimes affectingteenagers. He then appealed to IT special-ists to work together on a solution thatcould track people using public spaces andshare this information with their lovedones.The result was a 48-hour hack-a-thon

whereby various specialists would shareideas to help accelerate the process of devel-oping the app.Sham Moodliar from Hambasafe ex-

plained that the hack-a-thon, which washeld in Warehouse 17 at the V&A Water-front, was a huge success, and was just thebeginning. “People came together from allover Cape Town and all communitiesworked for 48 hours building a functioningapp. People came together to take action,and they evenworked over theEasterweek-end to better the app.”The new application will be in app stores

later this month and they are currentlylooking for people to test the beta version,whichwill be available to the public inMay.“We certainly heard Ryan’s plea and

based on what’s happened over the last fewweeks (where various murders have taken

place) andwe felt thatweneeded to do some-thing to help,” said Elizabeth Senger, alsofrom Hambasafe, when she explained howthe Hack-a-thon came about.A total of 69 techies signed up for the actu-

al 48-hour hack-a-thon. “We’ve also hadquite a few techies jump on board after thehack-a-thonafterhavingheardabout the in-itiative.”She went on to say that the app is for the

people, by the people, and anyone is wel-come to participate and bring their skills tothis fully collaborative initiative.She said that there is already a great mix

of skills at play. “Thankfully, following thecall for Android developers, IOS develop-ers, SQL developers, .Net developers, Mo-bile UI designers, testers and analysts, wehad a great mix of techies who demonstrat-ed the true meaning of ‘tirelessly workingtogether for a positive outcome’ that ad-dressed a social problem in our city.”She said that many ideas came up and

many of them are still being evaluated fortheir viability.However, she reiterated thatthe core functionality is focused on ena-bling people to enjoy outdoor activities ingroups, as opposed to alone, when they aremore likely to be a target for crime.People can either join an existing activity

or create one of their own and then havecontrol over who they allow to join thegroup. Using rigorous security measures –much like those used by Airbnb and Uber– the developers involved worked hard tocreate an environment in which users feelsafe. At the end of each activity the partici-pants are rated so users can start to buildtheir own trust profile.V Visit Hambasafe’s Facebook page, www.facebook.com/hambasafe/ or send an email to hambas[email protected] or check our @hambasafe on Twitter.

GARY VAN DYK@gvdcapejazz

Maitland High School has embarked on apartnership to counsel and empower

learners and teachers at the school.Last Tuesday the school celebrated the

launch of the Community Keepers office atthe school that will cater to emotional needsof learners and staff at the school.This organisation had its start in 2008

when a group of Christian professionalsfrom the social and corporate sectors cametogether with a collective concern for thewell-being of South African communities,especially children and the youth.Schools were identified as centres from

where children and the youth could beserved and research was conducted to deter-mine the relevant needs, problems and re-sources within local schools.Data from this research laid the founda-

tion for the development of a unique modelfor school-based services, piloted in 2009 atone Stellenbosch school and since rolled outto more schools and communities.Officemanager at the school, JanineWilli-

ams, explained that as an organisation theyaim to improve the social and emotionalwell-being of learners and staff to create sup-portive school communities where learningand development can prosper.“Being school-based, all our services are

implemented in partnership with learners,educators and parents or guardians.”The programme has four phases that in-

volves support keepers dealing with assess-ments counselling and therapy where ad-mission to these services is gained throughself-reporting or referrals by educators, par-ents or guardians, or other communitymembers and organisations.Life keepers deals with personal and so-

cial development through classes or pro-grammes.

“All programmes are developed and pre-sented in collaboration with educators andlearners and has a strong focus on mentor-ship and training.“These programmes are implemented as

a preventative intervention delivered tolarge groups of learners, aiming to equipthemwith skills and knowledge about an ar-ray of topics they are dealing with.”Teachers are also catered for with profes-

sional support and development of educa-tors. Parenting initiatives with parents orguardians of learners is also an importantpart of the programme.“Parenting committees are established by

involving parents or guardians to becomepart of the parenting network.”School principal, Riedwaan Kenny, con-

fessed that he was a bit sceptical when ap-proached by the organisation but since real-ised that they will become in integral partof the emotional well-being of all at theschool. “Working with the team from Com-munity Keepers has made me realise thattheir services are needed here and at manyother schools in our communities.“With their services in place it is also go-

ing to help learners realise their potential toface difficulties and problems and achievetheir positive potential in life.”

MIKE’S OCEAN TALES

Acidicoceansslowly killPollution and the increase of CO2 levelshave resulted in climate change which hashad a drastic impact on the global ocean.The ocean absorbs carbon dioxide, de-

creasing the pH levels of the ocean, whichresults in the acidity of the ocean increas-ing. This problem is known as ocean acidi-fication.Acidificationmodifies the chemical com-

position of the ocean, lowering the level ofcalcium carbonate in the water. Calciumcarbonate is important for somemarine lifeas they use it for shell formation. Molluscs,such as limpets and barnacles, are primeexamples this. The lack of calcium is affect-ing the growth rates and sizes of marine or-ganisms.An increase in carbon dioxide uptake al-

so occurs in summer months in the ArcticOcean as the ice melts, which allows thephytoplankton to absorb more CO2 fromthe atmosphere as they grow. When thesephytoplankton die, they release more CO2into the ocean. This results inmany carbonsinks being found under the ice and resultsin even more CO2 being absorbed, increas-ing the ocean’s acidity and decreasing thepH levels.Another consequence of the increased

acidification is an increase in the anxietyof someof the fish.A study done on juvenilerockfish showed that they responded to are-as of a fish tank that had increased levelsof acidity. Rockfish exposed to acidifiedocean conditions remained anxious evenafter one week of being placed in seawaterwith normal carbon dioxide levels.Ocean acidification can become more of

a problem in the future as marine life willgrow smaller and smaller in size. Some ofthemarine species’ defensivemechanisms,like shells,wouldnotbeable to grow,whichwill leave them helpless to predators. It isimportant that scientists monitor theocean acidification, do research into solv-ing the problemandprovideways that indi-viduals of the population can do in orderto reduce the impact of ocean acidification.V This column was contributed by Michael HartDavis, a student of Marine Science.

DESIRÉE RORKE@dezzierorke

Forrest Gump had it wrong. Life is not abox of chocolate, it’s a kaleidoscope. In

the flip of a wrist realities are shredded andthe world takes on a totally new shape.Fitting words to depict the experience of

the blind; spoken by executive head FreddieBotha last Wednesday evening when the In-stitute of the Blind celebrated its 135-yearhistory.Tomark the occasion the institute, for the

first timeever, changed itsname. Itwill nowbe known as Kaleidoscope, changing its fo-cus to being a commercially viable entity,with a rousing pay-off line: “Let the blindlead”.This, according to Hein Wagner, Kaleido-

scope’s brand ambassador, places the focuson visually impaired persons as completecitizens in the community capable of takingthe lead in society.

Dinner to mimic blindnessThe point was powerfully illustratedwith

a Dinner in the Dark event, unlike any thisjournalist has ever seen.The windowless dining hall at Langver-

wacht Wine Estate in Kuils River was pitchblack, entered into through a heavilydraped black tunnel to eliminate everypoint of light and shade. This attempted tomimic complete blindness and organisersmade very sure they missed nothing whencellphones, cameras and anything thatcould possibly provide light were confiscat-ed at thedoor in a somewhat fascistmanner.Wagner, who has been blind since birth,

explained total blindness as “not only theabsence of light, but also a complete loss ofdepth perception, the ability to determinedistances between objects and see the worldin three dimensions, with no option of re-prieve”.If thiswasnot immediatelyunderstoodby

diners when they entered the hall, it soonbecamevery clear.Amenacingnothingness– pitch black, heavy and flat – wrapped upyour entire consciousness to threaten yourvery existence.For some, strangely this was a cue to give

way to their inner boisterousness, whereasfor most, I imagine, the darkness was op-pressive.I for one couldn’t keep my eyelids open

after only a few minutes and cowered downto protect myself from the overpoweringdarkness. It is hard to say exactly when

one’s other senses kick in, but mercifullythey do, and when this happens you cansomewhat relate to Wagner when he says“welcome to themagicalworld of the blind”.Wagner, despite his blindness, has many

accomplishments to his name and lived bythe motto that “Impossible is Nothing”.He ran the Antarctica, Two Oceans and

New York marathons, completed severalCape Town Cycle Tours, tackled the whitewaters of the Zambezi River, not tomentionclimbing the ten highest mountains in theWestern Cape. He was the perfect host in a

most bizarre setting – sighted people havingfun at being “blind”.Diners enthusiastically piped out at how

magnificent it was to actually smell the in-gredients in the salads they were eating, asif feta cheese suddenly tasted better – sar-donic, but true.A crew of blind and partially blind wait-

rons were our only salvation and in the pro-verbial land of the blind, Erasmus’s one-eyed man was truly king.Thesewaitrons expertly guided every lost

soul to their exact seats at the tables, to therestrooms when needed, passed the wine,found the cutlery and served a plated threecourse meal. Astonishing.“Blind people in the modern world are of-

ten unseen; invisible to a sighted society,and we want to change that because the

blind have such unlimited potential and somuch to offer to theworld,” saidBotha. “Hu-man awareness can be likened to a kaleido-scope and we know that with a simple twistof perception somuch can be revealed. Thisis what has led us to the new name for therefreshed, revived Institute for the Blind.”The institute presently receives only 15%

of government aid and is therefore solely re-sponsible for the generation of 85% of thetotal operational expenses.“It is therefore important that we should

strive to becomemore self-sustainable to en-sure a future for ourpersonswhoarevisual-ly impaired,” Wagner explains.He says the institute is setting up sustain-

able partnerships with local and interna-tional business entities to strengthen thebrand and grow its product offering. “Byraising the bar in becoming a world leaderin all things blind related, our aim is to in-spire the blind and sighted alike to be suc-cessful – no matter the challenge.”

97% of visually impaired unemployedWagner says the name change reflects an

international character and opens doors tonew opportunities, projects and funding.“A few of our goals include the develop-

ment of a one-stop resource centre for blindand deaf-blind persons at our informationcentre, the establishment of a modern tech-nology training centre at our adult careerdevelopment department, the marketing ofthe institute as one of the best tourist attrac-tions in South Africa, and to establish moreviable partnerships with the corporate sec-tor and businesses as well as to enhance ex-isting partnerships.”He says they are also in the process of

transforming the production units to be-comemore sustainable. Already innovativeproducts have been launched including anew coffee brand, wine etiquettes, cane,weaving, wood, mattress, metal, arts, craftsproduction and sales.Employment is one ofthe biggest challenges the blind face inSouth Africa – this is evident in light of thefact that 97% of the visually impaired areunemployed. “It is also our goal to createmore opportunities for job placement of vi-sually impaired persons in the open labourmarket,” he adds.Public ignorance and society’s general

lack of knowledge of the blind, expensive as-sistive devices and training, inaccessibili-ty, school training and provision of Brailletext books are othermajor challenges the in-stitution faces.

Call forformerresidentsGARY VAN DYK

@gvdcapejazz

The call is goingout for all formerDistrictSix residents to attend an important

meeting on Saturday.Shahied Ajam, chairperson of the Dis-

trict Six Working Committee (D6WC)pointed out that this was a very importantmeeting for its members as well as otherrestitution communities and civic organi-sations.

“One of the more significant lessons ofourhistory is surely that thepromiseof res-titution is a fine device formobilizing grief,anger, longingandambition, but a far from-sturdy foundation on which to build a bet-ter life for all; at significant scale,” he says.

“The 2013 centenary of the Natives LandAct provided a focal point for the State toaddress continuing land injustices, butpublic speeches and commemorativeevents reflected an absence of serious en-gagement with the actual legacy of theAct.”

The meeting on Saturday will be takingplace at the Blackpool Sports Complex,Shelly Road, Salt River starting at 10:00.

On the agenda will be some important is-sues that includes returning to the landfrom which people were forcibly removed,the option of government providing alter-nate land, negotiating dignified and equita-ble compensation for thosewhodonotwishto return and the latest decision by the Cityof Cape Town to close the doors of the GoodHope Centre to the public and lease it.Ajam pointed out that in relation to the

Good Hope Centre this was done despitefierce opposition from all other politicalparties.

“The D6WC together with its coalitionpartners the South African Clothing andTextile Workers Union, the Bo-Kaap CivicAssociation and the Cape Malay ChoirBoard are launching an application tocourt in a desperate bid to save this iconiccentre,” he says.The centre was erected in 1976 at the

height of the apartheid era and forms an in-tegral part of the historical landscape ofDistrict Six, Ajam explains.“For the community of District Six it

symbolises the last bastion of hope that oneday they will return to their beloved cityand reclaim what is rightfully theirs.The Good Hope Centre has served the

greater Cape Town community for manydecades and it is also home to many socialorganisations, economic and cultural orga-nisations, community groups as well asevent companieswhich hosted exhibitions,meeting conferences, community gather-ings, sporting and recreational events,Ajam says. “The coalition will pull out allstops in an effort to restore and preservethis iconic space to its former glory.”V For more information about the meeting email en[email protected].
