Call for community careGARY VAN DYK

@gvdcapejazz

When disaster strikes a carer in thecommunity, that community comesto her aid.

But help is needed to rebuild her life.FatimaBrown, 64, has lived in ChinaVilla

off Worcester Road for most of her life andis known as “the” baker for functions in thecommunity as well as a person who caresabout her neighbours.She’s always there to care for those inneed

and now her world is in turmoil after a firedestroyed her home on Saturday 2 July.When she left home that afternoon to do

some shopping for Eid she never knew thatshe would return to the total destruction of

her home of the last 53 years.Shafiek Abrahams, a neighbour in the ar-

ea, explained that he was on his way homefrom mosque at about 19:45 when the wordwent out that Aunty Tiema’s (as she is affec-tionately known) house was on fire.“In fact the call went out at the nearby

mosque about the fire and everybody rushedout to see if they could help,” he says.“My first thought was for Aunty Tiema

but luckily she was not home. But by thetime that we got there the home was com-pletely engulfed by flames.”As neighbours rally round to help Aunty

Tiema her caring nature comes to the foreand she has more concern for the damage toher neighbour’s home.“I’m devastated by losing everything in

my home but the fire caused damage to theceiling of my neighbour and I am so worriedfor them,” she says.“For me I have accepted what has hap-

pened and believe Allahwill see tomy needsbut I amworried aboutmyneighbour IgsaanDamon’s home. His damages are my firstconcern.”While the cause of the fire is still being in-

vestigated some believe that the caring na-ture of Brownmay have played a part in thefire.She explains that shehad taken ina couple

in need of a place to stay with their childrenwho have just disappeared after the fire.“I don’t know if their children were play-

ing with candles or matches and started thefire but they’re just gone,” she says.

“I am not going to judge them but if it wasan accident they must come forward to saywhat happened – not just run away.”Enver van der Schyff, who grew up with

the family and lives in a back section of thehouse that was not damaged, discovered thefire and raised the alarm.“I wanted to go to the bathroom and when

I opened the back door I saw the smoke andflames coming from their (the family whostayed there) room,” he says.“Itwas terrible and therewasnothing that

I could do so I just went to get help.”While Brown waits to find out if she will

be able to move back to her home the lovethat she has always given her community iscoming back to her.V Continued on page 2

COMMUNITY CHAMPIONS ELDERS AWARD

Nominate elder making change

In honour of Mandela Day, People’s Postwill be reaching out to the children of Pa-tricia’s Home of Hope in Vrygrond – andwe want our readers to be part of the cele-bration.

The facility is part of the Eniwe Chil-dren’s Fund whose mission is to improvethe lives of abandoned and underprivi-leged children through various housing,feeding and skills development initiativesin the Western Cape.

At present the home in Vrygrond caresfor 13 children (eight boys and five girls)with ages ranging from 2 to 15, and ourreaders can help us help them with someof their needs.

To feed these children costs R7000 everymonth and while cash donations are wel-come, People’s Post wants to assist withgrocery donations – like samp and beans,pap, split peas, lentils, canned foods, vege-tables, pasta, pasta sauce, juices, milk,butter, jam. There is also a need for sham-poo, soap, toothpaste and sanitary pads.

Donations of warm clothes and shoes(new or second-hand) for the children willalso be welcomed.

There is also the need for some handyhands and building materials for im-provements to the home’s kitchen andbathroom.

Some windows and door frames need to

be replaced, and tiling or flooring for thefacility needs attention. A new bathroomsuite, hot water geyser and painting willalso add comfort.

The facility is also looking for a new orsecond-hand fridge in good working or-der. There are also plans for some exten-sions to the building to allow for more liv-ing space.V Grocery and clothing donations can be droppedoff at People’s Post office (3rd floor, Bloemhofbuilding, 112 Edward Street, Bellville) before Friday15 July.

Honouring Nelson Mandela’s legacy

FROM PAGE 1“I must thank all my neighbours and fami-ly who have been caring for me,” she says.

“There have been so many people com-ing forward to find out if I am alright andhow they can help. My dream, my wish isjust to be able to move back if the housecan be repaired.” she said.

Abrahams is adamant that their belovedAunty Tiema must stay on in the area.

“Who else is going to make our tastytreats and bake for our birthdays and func-tions,” he jokes.

“But, on a serious note, we have to show

how much we care about what she does inthis community.

“Her door is never closed to those whoneed help. She cares so much for the sen-iors by going to hospital with them or col-lecting their medications and it’s all donewith love.

“This is our opportunity to show that weappreciate all that she has done for us byhelping her not just re-build her home, butalso her life.

“If you’re part of this community or justwant to show you care with skills and dona-tions we’re calling on you to make a differ-ence.”V For more information about the assistance neededShafiek Abrahams can be contacted on 072 209 1201or email [email protected].

Paying it forwardfor poochesGARY VAN DYK

@gvdcapejazz

When Mark Anley celebrates his birth-day in Observatory on Saturday 23 Ju-

ly it will be an event that helps every doghave its day.

Friends, family and dog lovers will begathering at The Slug and Lettuce at TheRiver Club from 18:30 when he hosts his (be-lated) birthday party and he wants all hispresents to be for pooches in need.

A resident from Kenridge who works inthe packaging industry, Mark celebrateshis birthday on Thursday 14 July. Abouttwo years ago he decided that he wanted hisbirthday to be about benefitting those inneed.

“I grew up in the Parow area and life wasnever easy for me but there were alwayspeople who mentored and motivated me byshowing how they care about others,” hesays.

“It’s been hard work getting to where I ambut now I want to show that by working to-gether we can make a difference in manylives and for many causes. I’ve been blessedin so many ways now it’s my turn to spreadthat blessing. And, make family and friendspart of that blessing.”

Two years ago Mark called on people todonate a gift of a can or bag of dog food, oreven blankets, for a charity that cares fordogs.

For that project his target was 250 itemsbut this year he’s going bigger.

“I want to build on my ‘success’ and we’regoing for 1000 items this year,” he says.

“This time around I want to help an orga-

nisation, Pets Empowerment in Townships,who do an amazing job rescuing and savingthe lives of many dogs, and teaching peoplehow to care for their pets properly.

“I knew that I would not be able to do iton my so there are a lot of partners who arejoining me with this project and helping outat the fund-raiser on 23 July.

“Your newspapers (Tygerburger and Peo-ple’s Post) have come on board as well as anumber of radio stations who will help withthe appeal.

“Danny K, Jeremy de Tolly and MorganDeane will be joining us to perform at TheRiver Club with a host of celebrities likeBraam Malherbe, Guy McDonald and TVpresenter Eben Jansen all joining the par-ty.”

Mark adds that they have started theircampaign to collect donations alreadywhich will be going on until Friday 22 July.

“We have set up collection points in Clare-mont, Woodstock, Parow, Durbanville andMontague Gardens but you can also justcontact me to collect.

“There is also an appeal for people to at-tend the function at The River Club becauseit’s going to be a lot of fun as a Pure ’80s Par-ty.”

So why does Mark make this effort everysecond year?

“My love and compassion for children inneed comes into play,” he laughs.

“I call on friends and family to give megifts for children that I can hand out in farmareas at Christmas time.”V Tickets to the party at The River Club are R50, avail-able at the door or call Mark on 082 512 7655, [email protected].

Inner-city transporthub plans accelerateNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

The face of public transport in the CBD isset to look very different by 2020, as the Cityof Cape Town explores the development ofan “inner-city transport hub”.

The idea was suggested in 2012, and theproject is currently in the conceptual designphase, “meaning it is still in a very earlyphase,” says Brett Herron, Mayco memberfor transport.

A budget of R6m has been allocated as theestimated initial cost to get the project going.Additional implementation and capital ex-penditure will have to be budgeted for as theproject progresses, he says.

“The inner-city public transport hub re-fers to an area inclusive of all of the publictransport modes – be it bus, minibus taxi,train and metered taxi as well as non-motor-ised transport such as walking,” Herronsays.

“This area includes the existing minibustaxi rank on the Station Deck, the GoldenAcre bus terminus, the long distance busand minibus taxi station, Cape Town rail-way station, metered taxi facility and MyCi-Ti stations. These facilities are all locatedwithin the Cape Town Station Precinct.”

The project will see the construction of aminibus taxi rank (public transport inter-change), walkways, public square, coveredwalkways and an office building, a vehicularramp from the Station Deck down to StrandStreet, a pedestrian bridge over StrandStreet with ramps and stairs down onto theGrand Parade, including covered walkways,the upgrade of the existing Grand Paradebus terminus, the upgrade of the public spa-ces and road geometric on Strand Street inthe vicinity of the bus terminus, and the up-

grade of the public space and pedestrianwalkways on Old Marine Drive.

“The purpose of the hub is to create facili-ties that will enhance public transport servi-ces and commuters’ experience of makinguse of public transport in terms of easy andsafe access, among others,” he says.

“Some of the improvements also relate tothe improvement of current facilities, andimproving on the connectivity between thedifferent modes of public transport and non-motorised transport.”

The current facilities are inappropriate toserve in the need and demands of commut-ers, Herron says.

“The facilities – in particular the GoldenAcre Terminal and the minibus taxi rank –are not designed for the current vehicle vol-umes and movements.

“An appropriate system is needed to caterfor the adequate circulation of traffic, disem-barking and alighting, as well as staging,”he says.

“There is a clear lack of a non-motorisedthoroughfare to link both sides of the rail-way station. The station forms a barrier inthe urban grid, hindering pedestrian move-ments between the Foreshore area and thesouth-east of the central business district.The purpose of the envisioned hub is to ad-dress all of these.”

The creation of the transport hub will lookto improve and enhance safe and efficientcommuter transfers between the StationDeck and Grand Parade – as such, a new wid-er pedestrian bridge across Strand Street isproposed, Herron says.

It will also improve public toilet facilitiesand provide a more dignified and safer envi-ronment for commuters, as well as improv-ing pedestrian and universal accessibilitybetween all of the public transport facilities.

Growing youngbusiness ownersGARY VAN DYK

@gvdcapejazz

Teenagers from across the peninsula tooktheir first steps to becoming entrepre-

neurs at a workshop during the school holi-day.

Putting the spotlight on youth and entre-preneurship, they had the chance to designtheir own future at the very first #TeenBossworkshop which took place from Wednes-day 29 June to Friday 1 July at the eventhosted by the SA Teen Entrepreneur Foun-dation at The River Club.

The founder and director of SA Teen En-trepreneur Foundation, Lydia Zingoni, rec-ognises that young people need to play amore significant role in the growth of SouthAfrica’s economy. She is working to set upentrepreneurial societies in schools and iscurrently running programmes in eightschools. “SA’s small andmedium enterpris-es make up 50% of employment opportuni-ties, so there needs to be great emphasis indriving entrepreneurship programmes thatwill reach teenagers across the country.”With the unemployment rate at its high-

est since 2005, and youth unemployment atan alarming 37.7%, the aim of theworkshopand other SA Teen Entrepreneur pro-

grammes is to instil an entrepreneurialmind-set into the hearts andminds of youngSouth Africans.The biggest challenge for a start-up is the

failure rate. Statistics reveal that 80% ofnew businesses fail within the first 2-3years. “We need to educate the youth onhow to overcome the risks of starting a busi-ness,” says #TeenBoss representative KyleSanders.“The better equipped teenagers are, the

more likely they are to face adversity head-on along theway. There is somuch creativi-ty out there and it’s inspiring to see thosewe have mentored go on to do amazingthings, like Brian Mbaleki, aka Truth Spit-ter, fromSpesBonaHighSchool inAthlone,who within a fewmonths of exposure to theSA Teen Entrepreneur programme, will bereleasing his first rap album this year.”

Over the three days, studentswere taughtabout all the aspects of launchingabusiness– fromidentifying the target audience, fund-ing, sourcing materials, marketing andbranding to finally pitching abusiness idea.Students teamed up to exchange ideas

and worked together to build a businessplan which they then presented to a panelof judges on the last day of the workshop.V Visit www.teenentrepreneur.co.za.

Working on their business plans at the workshop are, from left, Cassidy Lewis from Bothasig,facilitator Samsam Litsoane, Mbili Buhle from Langa with Lisa Mvanyashe and Sinazo Myatazafrom Khayelitsha. The teens attended the three-day workshop, hosted by the SA TeenEntrepreneur Foundation, to learn about entrepreneurship and how to turn their passion intoa viable business.

The Students Health and Welfare CentresOrganisation (Shawco) from the Universi-ty of Cape Town based in Kensington tooktheir services to one of their partners lastweek.

GrandWest’s employees enthusiasticallytook the opportunity to have their generalhealth assessed when the organisation vi-sited the complex in Goodwood.The 74 staffmemberswhoparticipated in

the health screenings at Shawco’s mobileclinic, Big Mama, were eager for informa-tion about improving their health andshowed an interest in learning more aboutthe community health services offered bythe organisation.This initiative is run by about 500 to 800

volunteers from the UCT Faculty of HealthSciences. Over 3000 people in underprivi-leged communities across theWesternCapereceive much needed primary health-careservices atmobile clinics run by the organi-sation, with significant funding supportfrom GrandWest. These no-pay clinics of-ten serve as the only port of call for the sick

and injured who struggle to access pri-mary health care services or preventa-tive initiatives. In 2015, Shawco ran 200clinics, saw 2832 patients and referred470 patients for further treatment.“GrandWest is proud to partner with

these health clinics, which have becomean integral part of the communities theyserve,” says Heidi Edson, social econom-ic developmentmanager forSun Interna-tional.

Future of healthfacility unclearNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

As development of anewhealthcare facili-ty in District Six steams ahead, the fu-

ture of the historic Robbie Nurock Commu-nity Day Centre remains unclear.

Construction of the R104m communityhealthcare centre is expected to be complet-ed in January, opening to the public inMarch next year. The facility is on theformer site of the PeninsulaMaternity Hos-pital.

Once theDistrict Six centre starts to oper-ate, it will provide comprehensive primaryhealth services for approximately 90 000mainly low- or no-income people fromWoodstock, Salt River, Vredehoek and cen-tral Cape Town, including the beneficiariesof the District Six redevelopment.

The new facility, which is expected to bethe largest clinic in the city, will replace theRobbie Nurock and Woodstock communityday centres. Staff and patients will be trans-ferred fromRobbieNurock to thenew facili-ty.

The provincial health department had

not commented on the reasons for closingRobbie Nurock at the time of going to print.However, the futureuse ofRobbieNurock

is yet to be decided, says Byron La Hoe,spokesperson for the provincial minister oftransport and public works, Donald Grant.Following the closure of the clinic, the de-

partmentwill appoint security to secure thebuilding and “will investigate (the) futureuse of the building”, says La Hoe.“The department is currently busy with

the consultation process with all differentspheres of government to establishwhetherthe property is required for government in-frastructure. This departmentwill considerall infrastructure requirements before a fi-nal recommendation is made,” he says.However, the use of the property will be

constrained by its heritage value, La Hoesays. “The building has significant heritagevalue, and it will be difficult to do any sub-stantial alterations. A formal heritage as-sessment still needs to be conducted. If al-terations are required by the provincialgovernment, specialised consultants wouldbe appointed to attend and adhere to theheritage issues and legislation,” he says.

Have your say on health facilitiesOccasionally referred to as the

watchdogs of public health fa-cilities, health facility boards havebecome a key communication me-dium to enable direct interactionbetween the public and manage-ment of health facilities in order toresolve specific operational ail-ments.

Anthony Ghillino, vice chairper-son of the Western Cape Rehabili-tation Centre’s (WCRC) Health Fa-cility Board, says the board contin-uously strives to ensure optimalcorporate and clinical governance,fundraising, community involve-ment and the formulation of strate-gies and policies to assist the man-agement of the facility.

The Western Cape Health Facili-ty Boards Act was introduced in2001 by the provincial minister ofhealth to ensure management of allpublic health facilities are ac-countable to, and have the supportof their communities and managetheir resources responsibly and ef-fectively.

“I joined the WCRC’s Health Fa-cility Board in 2007, in order to giveback to my community and the fa-cility. During my tenure I havebeen able to share my expertise,knowledge and experience at a fa-cility that does incredible work,”says Ghillino.

The WCRC, now in operation for11 years, provides specialised, mul-tidisciplinary rehabilitation pro-grammes for people with physicaldisabilities. The focus is outcome-based and promotes functional in-

dependence to ultimately achievethe goal of community reintegra-tion.

Ghillino, a quadriplegic, was apatient of the then Conradie Hospi-tal after being involved in a motorvehicle accident at the age of 16.

“I am proud to be involved andassociated with the WCRC, as botha client and as a board member.The organisation offers world-class services to people with physi-cal disabilities, such as myself,”says Ghillino.

Jenny Hendry, CEO of theWCRC, says the format of theBoard provides an opportunity forcommunity members to get in-volved as well. “The Board struc-ture requires clinical, non-clinicaland academic representation.Most importantly, the communityalso needs to be represented by in-dividuals on this committee, thusensuring that the needs, concernsand recommendations of clientsand the community are properlyaddressed,” says Hendry.

Ghillino, who will be completingthe end of his third and final termon the Board, says that being partof the board has provided him withan opportunity to share in the suc-cesses and triumphs of other peo-ple with disabilities. “People withdisabilities encounter a range ofphysical, social and opinionatedbarriers, which prevent them fromaccessing the same rights as non-disabled people. Because theWCRC focuses on rehabilitation tohelp clients overcome these barri-

ers, we are able to ensure that ourpatients are integrated into main-stream society and live a fulfilledand successful life.”

Echoing these sentiments, Hen-dry says Ghillino is a great exam-ple to other people with disabili-ties. “Anthony is a project manag-er of the QuadPara Association ofthe Western Cape. Apart from serv-ing on the WCRC’s Board, he alsoserves on the executive committeeof the Western Cape Network onDisability and the managementboard of the QuadPara Associationof South Africa,” she says.

Hendry advises residents whoare interested in becoming mem-bers of the board to submit a copyof their CV, accompanied by a rec-ommendation letter, to the office ofthe Health Facility Board at theWCRC.

“Recommendation letters maycome from an organisation such asa non-governmental organisation,religious organisation, civic orga-nisation, gender organisation orcommunity-based organisations,”says Hendry.

Anyone interested in becomingmembers of the WCRC Health Fa-cility Board is welcome to contactthe office of the Western CapeHealth Facility Board for informa-tion on how to join.V Call Teresa Lucas on 021 370 2313 oremail [email protected] drop completed applicationforms at Room 10 in the administrationbuilding of the Western Cape Rehabilita-tion Centre, 103 Highlands Drive, Lentegeur.

Anthony Ghillino (40), vice chairperson of the Western Cape RehabilitationCentre’s (WCRC) Health Facility Board, will soon finish his third and finalterm of office.

KenFac kids get into sports for holidaysGARY VAN DYK

@gvdcapejazz

As the Winter school holidayswind down the children of Ken-

sington and Facreton are celebrat-ing a vacation of fun and sports.

Everyday for thepast twoweeks,the Factreton playing fields havebeen a hive of frenetic activity asmore than 100 children pitched updaily to participate in PlaySport4Life’s schools holiday pro-gramme.

From 09:00 to 15:00 learners agedfrom five to 15 were “schooled” inthe basics of traditional wintersports like rugby, soccer, hockeyand netball.Expert advice was on hand from

qualified coaches and guest ap-pearances by high-profile sportingcelebrities such as former Spring-bok Eddie Andrews thrilled thekids.

The head of the organisation,

Miles October, says that they werethrilled with the response to theholiday program.

“This programme has shown usthat our children want to playsport,” says October.

“These children are so keen tolearn and we are happy to providethe facility for it.

“Play Sport4Life is first and fore-most a community organisationand we see this event as a very im-portant community service on anumber of levels.

“In the first instance we are pro-viding children with an opportuni-ty to either learn the basics or im-prove what skills they have play-ing these winter sports.”

October added that there was an-other aspect to the holiday pro-gram that was a source of greatcomfort for parents.

“Because we are running thisfrom early morning to mid after-noon, we are also providing par-

ents with some comfort knowingtheir children are participating insupervised activities,” he says.

“It is an indisputable fact that so-cial problems occur when youngchildren are left to their own devi-ces at certain ages. The childrenwho attend our holiday clinics areengaged, supervised and fed whilethey are with us.

“It is not only the sporting skillsthat we address. We also had theuBuntu Boys doing rap classes.Their rap classes revolve aroundsocial issues, so these children gotan early exposure to what is rightand wrong in our society.”

Rugby coach Taalieb Johnson,standing, gave these youngsterssome great coaching tips at PlaySport4Life’s schools holiday pro-gramme in Factreton.

Helping babies breathe easierEARL HAUPT

TheWestern Cape EMS’s special-ised paediatric retrieval, in-

cluding neonatal transfer (Sprint)teamhave been boosted by the don-taion of a transport ventilatorworth over R723 000 from the Chil-dren’s Hospital Trust on Thursday7 July.Hamilton Medical Group donat-

ed the ventilator to the children’shospital for them to hand over tothe Sprint team.The aim of the project is to en-

sure the safe and effective emer-gency transport of critically ill ba-bies and children younger than 13.The provincial health deepart-

ment reports that in the periodfrom Sunday 1 November 2015 toSunday 31 January, 289 transferswere performed by a single paedi-atric flying squad (PFS) vehicle.“Approximately 31 children are

transferred to the Red Cross Chil-dren’s Hospital each month. Eigh-teen of these children are ventilat-ed. This new equipment will bene-fit at least 216 children a year, whoare some of the sickest and mostunstable patients to visit the hospi-tal.“We are very excited to see the

new ventilators rolled out in thepaediatric flying squad ambu-lance, contributing to the safe andeffective emergency transporta-tion of critically ill babies and chil-dren,” says CEO for the Children’sHospital Trust, Louise Driver.Gordon Blair, area sales manag-

er for Hamilton Medical says the

ventilator has some unique fea-tures on it.“We don’t require compressed

air; most ventilators require com-pressed air and oxygen. This ma-chine has a built-in turbine, so itsucks in ambient air and uses that.In transport that is a huge savingif they do not need an extra cylin-der: theweight saving. It buys timeand distance, especially in avia-

tion where they can fly a little bitfurtherwith lessweight. It also hasautomatic motor ventilation on itwhere measures some of the fac-tors on the lung and automaticallysets appropriate settings for thatpatient,” he says.He says, although the ventilator

will be used exclusively for pa-tients under 13, it can also be usedfor all other ranges of patient.

Dr. Baljit Cheema, paediatricemergency specialist workingwith EMS, says that taking deliv-ery of the new piece of equipmentwith the newest technology ena-bles paramedics to obtain more re-liable information when treatingpatients, particularly undersizednewborn babies.“This ventilator can ventilate

babies weighing down to 200g. We

have babies of 700g to 900g and theyare difficult to ventilate when youcannot control the settings sowell,” she says.She explains the new ventilator

does not only control the pressuresand volume of air going into andout of the system, but it alsomeansthat paramedics will no longer berequired to put a tube down the ba-by’s trachea, as would be the casewith the older ventilators, whicheliminates an element of risk.“The newer way of ventilating is

non-invasive, meaning that youjust ventilate through the nose andthat is much safer, much less trau-matic for the baby. We can also,with this machine, monitor thegasses which come out of the ba-by’s lungs. So it will tell us howwell we are ventilating the baby orif there is a problem with the tube,which we can’t do otherwise. It isgoing to allow us to transport verysmall and very sick children andbabiesmuchmore safely,”Cheemaadds.She confirms the new ventilator

will only be used in the two paedi-atric flying squadvehicles and thatHamilton Medical also suppliedthemwith consumables,whichhasallowed them to be able to use theequipment immediately.“Those are very expensive

items. Every patient needs a sepa-rate circuit and the interface withthe tube and the nose; those are allexpensive. The donation includesenough consumables to start upus-ing the ventilator for all sizes of ba-bies, so that is fantastic for us, be-cause we can use it as of today.”

hour challenge to come out on topamong the ten finalists from fiveprovinces in theApplicationsOlym-piad.Besides winning the gold medal,

he will compete in the Microsoft Of-fice Specialist world champion-ships in Florida in August.The Applications Olympiad chal-

lenges participants to use commoncomputer applications such aswordprocessors, spreadsheets and data-bases to solve a set of problems.Of the 10 983 who entered the

Olympiad, ten reached the finalround which was held at BergvlietHigh in Cape Town during the win-ter school holiday. The 10 finalistswere made up of learners five prov-inces (three from the Eastern Cape,one from Free State, three fromGauteng, one from KwaZulu-Nataland two from the Western Cape).The final round included two one-

hour tests and a four-hour projecton the theme of the Summer Olym-pic Games. The project required the

finalists to “Prepare an A3 Infopost-er which the Olympic Committeecan use in schools to promote theOlympics”. During the project theyalso had to teach themselves a newskill that is not in the school curric-ulum. For this they were given an8-page document headed “How tocreate a pivot table and manipulateit”. One learner wrote after theproject: “I didn’t evenknowcomput-ers can do things like that.”At the Awards Dinner an inspir-

ing challenge was presented byguest speaker, Barbara Mallinson.She founded Obami, a digital learn-ing solutions company that helpsschools mainly in Africa to managedigital learning – free to hundredsof less advantaged schools.“Entrepreneurs”, saysMallinson,

“both see and chase opportunity.Entrepreneurs have grit, take risksand persist through the hard times.Entrepreneurs drive innovation.”She challenged the finalists not

only to seek rewards for themselves,but also to create opportunities forothers.

tures poems by Sindiswa Busu-ku-Mathese. The original versionof this collection was written aspart of the poet’s Master’s thesisin Creative Writing at the Uni-versity of KwaZulu-Natal. A col-lection of 39 pieces, some mysti-cal and elliptical, some seeming-ly mundane snatches of prose-poetry that retain a poeticintensity, together they create anatmosphere of nostalgia tingedwith a subtle yet matter-of-factsadness.Accompanied by a series of

graphic images, made up of oldphotographic portraits andscenes of natural beauty, Busu-ku-Mathese has created a verywell-crafted and enchanting bodyof work.V For more information contact AndréMarais on 021 696 9253 or send an emailto [email protected].

For more than a century, the Salesian In-stitute has been providing education,

shelter and emotional support for at-riskyouth.The institute is dedicated to improving

the lives of South Africa’s vulnerable chil-dren and youth at risk. Each year, 1600young men and women take part in the in-stitute’s programmes with a custom-tai-lored mix of basic education, vocationaltraining, social skills, neighbourhood out-reach and residential accommodation.The programmes include classes for chil-

dren and youth who have dropped out ofschool or who do not have the skills to passtheir matriculation exams – such as weld-ing, woodcraft, panel beating and arts andcrafts – aswell as vocational classes for old-er youth to learn high demand trade skillslike tiling, laminated flooring, bricklaying,PC repair, computer literacy and officemanagement.They also offer life skills classes to give

at-risk youth self-confidence and socialskills.One of the young people to benefit from

these programmes is 21-year-old NompeloPike from Philippi. In the informal settle-ment, most of the youth are involved incriminal activities and there is a high num-ber of high school drop-outs, Pike says.“Gangsterism and drug addiction are big

problems. Venturing out of the communityto seek opportunity takes courage, and it israre that anyone manages to break the cy-cle,” she says.Pike was working as a part time cleaner

in Cape Townwhen shewas approached byher employer who suggested she trained atthe Salesian Institute.Pike started with the life skills pro-

gramme, where she learned skills from in-terviewing to budgeting, communication,trust building, self-esteem and preparationfor the business world.“The life skills programme made me

boost my confidence, made me believe inmyself and made me dream more. It ena-bled me to try and achieve more things inorder forme to contribute to thebettermentof society.”This programme was followed by a

course in computer literacy and officeman-agement. “I knew nothing about a comput-er! I come from a poor background and Ihave never been fortunate enough to owna personal computer. The very first thingwe did on those computers was to switchon the computer, and then we began withour first activity. Every day after that I be-came more excited about coming to classand learning something new.”Pike is a student at the Cape Peninsula

University of Technology, studying OfficeManagement and Technology.The institute also offers outreach pro-

grammes, where community workers havespent years working in townships and onthe streets, developing relationships withcommunity leaders and the young peoplethemselves. This allows them to find thosemost in need and bring them into the pro-grammes, as well as support those who arein danger of falling into real trouble.“Sometimes this is a hard sell for youth

who have experienced drugs, crime, gang-sterism, physical andmental abuse and do-mestic violence on a daily basis. Once ayoung man or woman decides to partici-pate, we develop a programme to addresstheir specific needs, working with govern-ment agencies as well as our own staff of12 experienced teachers, facilitators andcounsellors to put together a fully roundedprogramme of support, education andtraining,” the institute says in a statement.“And when their time with us is over, we

support them with resumé writing, jobcounselling and placement services for aslong as they need it.”V The next set of courses will run from 10 Augustto 30 September. Contact 021 421 3450 or Whats-App 079 018 8359.

MIKE’S OCEAN TALES

The problemwith my catchis bycatchBycatch – the catching and dis-carding of marine species thatare not intended to be caught –in the ocean is a huge problemthat is drastically affecting thefish andmarinemammal popu-lations within the ocean.A study done a few years ago

found that approximately 1.5tons of fish are discarded everynight by shrimp trawlers inAustralia alone.This is a result of the high de-

mand for certain fish species byconsumers and the largeamount of money that fisher-man canmake out of this indus-try.These fishermen use tech-

niques to capture as many fishas possible and these tech-niques are particularly harm-ful, often resulting in the cap-ture of non-target fish species.Fishermen often discard

these fish as it is often illegal tosell them.But the problem is that the

fish, accidentally caught, areoften dead when discarded intothe ocean.These fishing techniques can

often result in the complete de-struction of the habitats ofmany fish.If you go to a local fishing

boat when they are pulling intheir nets, like the fishermenon FishHoek beach, you can of-ten see rays, small dolphinsanda large variety of other marineorganisms in their nets alongwith their intended catch.This is just a local example of

an international problem, andthere are much larger vessels

being used in the ocean in com-parison to the one that we seeon Fish Hoek beach.Due to the vulnerability of

certain fish populations in theocean, bycatch can possibly de-liver the final blow tomany dif-ferent susceptible fish popula-tions.Even if government issues

quotas for vulnerable fish, thisis not dealing with the problemof bycatch.A method to combat this has

already been introduced intrawl nets, which acts as an es-cape pathway. This allows cer-tainmarinemammals and larg-er fish to pass through and es-cape the net before it is broughtto the surface. This has alreadyhad a positive impact on thepopulations of many marineanimals such as sharks anddol-phins. But not all non-targetfish are able to escape throughthese pathways.We need to seriously look in-

to developing techniques thatcan reduce the amount of by-catch that takes place withinthe ocean.We also need to, as a commu-

nity, consume fish that are cap-tured using non-harmful fish-ing techniques. Otherwise, cer-tainmarine life thatwe cherishmay not be around for the fu-ture generations to see. Theymay be reduced to looking atthese fish in aquariums or inbooks.V This column was contributed byMichael Hart-Davis, a student of Ma-rine Science. Email him [email protected].

Dogs needed to fight crimeI read with great interestarticles written about howcriminals are targeting vehiclesand stealing its owner’s goodswhen they stop at the robots atthe intersection of Military Roadand Prince George Drive inLavender Hill. In almost mili-tary tactic formation thesecriminals manoeuvre betweenthe vehicles and then brazenlyin broad daylight rip open thebakkies canopies and then stealgoods belonging to businessmenand women transporting theirgoods. The poor police are againblamed due to lack of visiblepatrols.Now here is where I want to

come in and share a solutionthat should deter these crimi-nals. Before I share this idea Iwant to give some credence tomy proposal by saying what Ihad seen and experienced whenI was operational commander atTable Bay Harbour police.Whenever I held checkpoints

or searched ships and premisesI tried to have two types oftrained dogs to assist me andmy members: a drug detectiondog and a explosive detectiondog. These two trained canines

would sniff out drugs andfirearms which we as policewould not have detected.During my service years we

had problems with stowawaysand then somebody came upwith the brilliant idea oftraining private dogs to searchships for these stowaways. Ipersonally know after manyyears of service at the harbourthere are literally thousands ofhiding places on ships. Then oneday a ship’s captain and hisshipping agent came to myoffice and asked us to help findone of the ship’s highly trainedRottweilers that got off the shipvia a gangplank. I asked thisforeign captain what did hemean highly trained and heinformed me that on theircompany’s ships are these dogstrained to attack on commandin their language if piratesboard their ships on the openseas and when they came toport the dogs with a crewmember would do guard duty.We found the dog safe andsound.Before 1994 trained dogs were

used to do crowd control andthere I saw that a few dogs on

leashes with teeth blaring kepthundred of people in line andcontrol. I always wonder lately,when I see crowd controlviolence, why the shotguns arebrought into play but there areno the dogs assist the police torestore law and order.People who are really serious

about crime prevention havedogs on their premises andthese dogs are the protectorsand detectors of criminals nearor on the property.We shouldalso look at the NeighbourhoodWatches coming on board withtrained guard dogs while theyare on crime prevention duties.These businessmen have to

get dogs on the back of thebakkies when transporting theirgoods and place a board on theback stating “Beware of thedog/Pasop vir die hond/Lum-kela inja”.To those reading this letter it

is time we realise that we needevery resource out there to helpfight criminals. Superman andBatman are a myths; man’s bestfriend is baking up the righttree.

Ban the bottlesWhy all the fuss about plasticbags (“Taking plastic out of theocean”, People’s Post, 5 July)when plastic bottles are far, farworse: up to 3000 years to breakdown?And most screw the lids back

on and fail to compress them...hence the proliferation of wastevehicles carrying a lot of air!Many of these “balloons” areeasily blown into the sea too.My summed up feelings are:Don’t recycle.Stop buying the junk in the

first place!BRUCE CLEMENCE

Fish Hoek

naar, was invited to share the stagewithinternational superstar, Josh Groban,

Poetry lives onthrough musicLOUISA STEYL

@LouSteyl

“My mom always sang lullabies to mewhen I was small,” Simone Garcia

Marquez, the daughter of the late poet, In-grid Jonker recalls.That’s why she decided that setting her

words to music would be the perfect tributeto her mother who tragically killed herselfjust over 50 years ago.Simone, who now lives in Hout Bay with

her husband Ernesto Garcia Marques, wasa young girl when her mother passed away,but says says she means more and more toher as she grows older. “I now experience

her through her poems.”They recently released Ingrid Jonker – Die

Kind Is Nog Jonger features 36 musical trib-utes performed and recorded by South Afri-can artists, from stalwarts like Anton Goos-en and Gert Vlok Nel to The SlashDog andInge Beckmann.Each artist was randomly given a poem to

set to music and Simone says: “They reallygave us their own interpretation of Ingrid’spoems.”Many of the musicians recorded their

songs on their own steam with a big portionof the funding for the album coming from anIndieGoGo crowd funding campaign.While the process of curating, mastering

and completing Ingrid Jonker – Die Kind IsNog Jonger took about two years, Simone

says the idea for the albumhasbeenbrewingfor much longer. In fact, she had the idealong before Chris Chameleon released histwo tributes to Ingrid Jonker: Ek HerhaalJou and As Jy Weer Skryf in 2005 and 2011respectively. “That was great, because hedida fantastic job,”Simone says, adding thatthe success of Chris’ albums paved the wayfor Ingrid Jonker – Die Kind Is Nog Jonger.While she had spoken to a few artists al-

ready, it wasn’t until Simone married herhusband Ernesto of Sound Action in 2013,that he encouraged her to continue with theproject.Ernesto is a huge supporter of South Afri-

can music and helped Simone round upsome of the musicians featured onthe album. “He’s known these art-ists for many years,” she says.The 36 acts featured on the album

span three generations, from the1970s to now, along a wide range ofgenres from pop and rock, to avant-garde, electronic, and even punkand metal music.Eleven of the poems featured have

also been translated, making the al-bum accessible to both English andAfrikaans music fans.“There’s something there for ev-

eryone,” Simone says.Once the album had been mas-

tered by Ernesto, they brought PaulBlom from Flamedrop Productionson board, who helped them createthe finished product.

Ingrid Jonker – Die Kind Is NogJonger, which is available at CapeTown Music stores Revolution andMabu and online at www.cdba-by.com, www.raru.co.za andwww.loot.co.za, was officially re-leased in June. Simone says it’sbeen very well received with musicjournalist and musician WillimWelsyn already hailing it as the“tribute album of the decade”.“It’s not like an ordinary CD,”

Simone explains. “It’s like amusicalbook.”

A limited edition12-trackvinylLPversionis set to be released this month. “They sayour record could be a collector’s album.”For Simone, the chance to share hermoth-

er’s poetry not onlywith the artists involvedwith the project, but also music fans whowill be listening to it, is fulfilling.“That love of Ingrid Jonker’s poetry goes

on,” she explains.Fans of Ingrid’s poetry can celebrate her

work with Simone and Ernesto when theyhost a free Ingrid Jonker evening atATouchof Madness in Observatory on Thursday 21July.V For more information about Ingrid Jonker – DieKind Is Nog Jonger visit www.flamedrop.com/ingri-djonker or visit www.youtube.com/user/Flamedrop-Productions for a taste of the music.

Ernesto and Simone Garcia Marquez are paying tributeto Simone’s mother Ingrid Jonker with a new compila-tion album of her poetry set to music.

From the township all the way to Cannes; agroup of local filmmakers are behind thefilm that’s being hailed as as the first zombiemovie made in Africa for Africa.

Last Ones Out, which was officially pre-miered at the Durban Film Festival lastmonth, has already represented South Afri-ca at the Cannes Film Market last year.Shot in DuNoon and Tygerberg Hospital

amongst otherCapeTown locations, the filmis the brainchild of producersHoward Fyviefrom Woodstock and Greg Kriek from Par-ow.The duomanaged to pull off the seemingly

impossible by creating making a full lengthtop quality feature film on the limited bud-

get of only R50 000, a far cry from the R3.5mused to create the average South Africanfilm.“We realized our biggest challenge wasn’t

necessarily lack of money... it was havingthe right attitude,” says Greg who also starsin the movie.“Anything is possible – we’re hoping that

people will not only be entertained by themovie but will also be inspired,” says writerand director Howard Fyvie.The movie tells the story of Henry; a cyni-

cal American contractor who wakes up in adeserted hospital, in the midst of a devastat-ing zombie apocalypse in southern Africa.After learning that the region is in the gripof an otherworldly outbreak, he is forced tojoin forces with three locals in order to sur-vive. Facedwith the external threat of blood-thirsty zombies, and the internal challengeof mutual mistrust, the four must make itacross a treacherous region and reach thelast remaining evacuation point in order tomake it out alive.While Greg, who plays Henry, is gaining

popularity on local screenswith roles inMo-mentum and ’n Man soos my Pa, the art-house drama also stars Bellville’s ChristiaVisser, known for her roles in Hollywood inMy Huis andBallade vir ’n Enkeling and vet-eran performer Tshamano Sebe, also fromWoodstock.V Visit www.lastonesoutmovie.com for more informa-tion about Last Ones Out, or visit the film’s Facebookpage for a behind-the-scenes look at the movie.

JOSEPH PILLAY

A rejuvenated Stanturf Unitedside turned the game on itshead, fought back remarka-

bly well and silenced their criticswith a come-from-behind 4-3 victo-ry against Strandfontein in a SafaCape Town Coca-Cola Cup matchon Sunday.The all-Mitchell’s Plain LFA der-

by in the round of the last 64 wasa game that had a bit of everything– including drama in which twoplayers from the Strandfonteinside, namely Chad Jones in thefirst half and Shamiel Young dur-ing the second half, receivedmarching orders from referee An-war Alexander for a deliberatehandball and dangerous play re-spectively.Although the “Seagulls” were

playing on their home turf at theStrandfontein sports complex,they had to be content to finish thishigh intensity game with nineplayers.Strandfontein were foolish to be

reduced to nine players and nodoubt brought it upon themselves– though they gave it their all, they

were pressurised by a transformedand aggressive Stanturf side whowere equally determined to pro-ceed to the next round.Asa result, StanturfUnited’s vic-

tory will see them pitting theirskills against Young Pirates of Hei-develd LFA on Sunday 24 July inthe round of the last 32.Besides Jeanne Valentyn’s Stan-

turfUnited,BeaconSpurs is theon-ly other team fromMitchell’s Plainwho are amongst the survivingcontestants while Liverpool-Port-land, Juventus, Cedar UnitedHeinz Park, Ashley Rovers, High-lands Park, Juventus and LeedsLentegeur all joined Strandfonteinin making an exit.Eric Davey, a club official of

Stanturf United, says the playersheld their nerve and came back aft-er being 2-1 down to score threegoals in the secondhalf andwin thegame 4-3.“I think we were just a different

side after the changeover and ourendurance and skill on the ballwere the key factors to our match-winning success,” adds Davey.For the Seagulls, SeanleighGlad-

den scored a brace and Ian Floris

added the third goal while Abdul-lah Davis, Marlon Opperman (2)and Monray van Niekerk scoredfor Stanturf United.

. Liverpool Portland blew it.After having held a comfortable 2-0cushion against Grassy Park Unit-ed, they ended level 3-3 at normaltime and lost 7-6 on penalties in aninteresting shootout challenge inwhich both teams were successfulwith their first five compulsoryspot kicks.In another exciting and see-saw

game both goalkeepers – KurtTimm (Cedar United) and NazierStoffels (FC Orient) – were equal tothe task and brought off a few ex-cellent saves that produced goodentertainment.With that in mind FC Orient

shaded Cedar United 2-1 and willmeet their Manenberg neighboursD&G Orient (who beat TottenhamHotspurs 1-0) in the next round.Rushen Abrahams in the no.3

shirt is a livewire and a bundle ofenergy and it showed on the fieldas he helped himself to two goalswith the decisive winning goalcoming in the 83rd minute.Cedar United scored first in the

first half through Nazeem Cloetewhile Orient’s Dale America andGareth Syms caught the eye withgood dribbling touches.Also at Strandfontein, the Athlo-

ne LFA side, SSSAcademywon thenine-goal contest battle againstHeinz Park ofMitchell’s Plainwitha 6-3 result.Super-sub Isma-eel (Gallie) Val-

entine will be remembered morefor scoring five of the goals for SSSAcademy.Meanwhile Young Idols – the de-

fending champs – entered the last32, thanks to goals from DurandMitchell and Shannon Hendricks –they beat Greenwood Athletic 2-1in Manenberg and will face three-

time former champions James-town United in their next game.Draw for the roundof 32 in the

Coca-Cola Cup: Young Pirates vsStanturf United, Ashford Athleticvs Glendene United, Hustlas t Lan-ga Citizens, Wesfleur vs SSS Acad-emy, Wesley United vs Two ForJoy, Spenston vs Melchester Rov-ers, Eleven Attackers vs BeaconSpurs, Everton Spurs vs Florenti-na, FCG Hotspurs vs Cape TownMilitary, Grassy Park United vsCrystal Palace, Rygersdal vs DelftBadgers, TUBS vs Silver Spurs,Central vs Stephanian Ottery, FCOrient vs D&GOrient, Young Idolsvs Jamestown United and UnitedFC vs Ace Mates.
