ASTRID FEBRUARIE@FebAstrid
A vacant scrapyard in 8th Avenue, Re-treat has been stripped of almost all itsheavymetal and steel and is a cause for
concern for the local ward councillor.The building has almost completely been
stripped. Broken bottles, plastic pipes andloose bricks are all that remain of the formerFoentjies Scrap Yard.According to ward councillor Kevin
Southgate, the building, including every-thing and anything that could be sold, hasbeen stripped “by the informal business en-trepreneurs, including gangsters”.“They are now targeting three under-
ground storage tanks that a nearby scrapdealer alleges contains oil and, should thesecriminals – who have already begun exca-vating around these tanks – succeed in re-moving it, the possibility exists that oil canbe spilled andhence present an environmen-tal risk,” Southgate says.He further says the “thieves have no
thought” for the potential risk as their onlyinterest is in getting to the tanks “whichthey will chop up for resale”.The scrapyard was recently sold and
bought by the owner of the Shoprite complexin Retreat Road. Rafiek Dawood was givenoccupation of the property about threemonths ago and says he is aware of the van-dalismand theft of buildingmaterialswhichincludes steel and iron.
“I was only recently made aware of whatis going on at the premises and immediatelysecured the property, but after they (the se-curity guards) were threatened I had to re-move them.”Dawood says while the security guards
were on the premises a group of men in abakkie threatened them repeatedly.“The men who were threatening the secu-
rity guards would show up to the scrapyardin a bakkie. The driver would then drop offa couple of men with power tools and a gen-erator and they would proceed to cut up thesteel and metal on the property,” he says.Dawood says they have reported the inci-
dents to the police and provided them witha description of the bakkie and its registra-tion number.
“At the moment, we have no securitypresent on the property, but in the nextmonth or two we will start with our plansto convert the land into a parking area,” hesays.He further says that he has no knowledge
of any underground tanks.Southgate says the lack of security and de-
terioration of this property have attractedmany criminal elements into the area andhave resulted in surrounding businesses be-ing burgled. “Water pipes have been rippedup, resulting in thousands of litres of waterhaving been lost before the council could un-dertake repairs,” he says.Southgate says should the situation be left
unattended he is afraidmore damages couldbe sustained.

EARL HAUPT@EarlHaupt
This week, Place of Hope (POH) resi-dence celebrated 14 years of helping vic-tims of abuse.Before its establishment in 2001 under
the auspices of theCommunityBible Fel-lowship, POH’s foundations were laidwhen a member of a local church wasworking with sex workers on the streetsof Claremont, Kenilworth and Wynbergin 1998.Located in Crawford, POH offers wom-
en and children the opportunity to notonly be re-integrated into society, but al-so gain the skills needed to live self-suffi-cient liveswhilst providing aplace of ref-uge.Victims of abuse are screened by vari-
ous organisations including the police,social workers and community workersbefore being referred to POH.These women and children are offered
an initial period of sixmonths’ residenceduring which time they receive profes-sional counselling, job skills and lifeskills training.Jennifer Arendorf, one of POH’s di-
rectors, says that 18 women and 14 chil-dren are currently under their care, butbecause of the lack of staff, numbershave had to be kept to a minimum de-spite the high demand within the com-munity.“Lack of funding has always been the
number one challenge,” she says.“Whilst government gave some finan-
cial support to cover running costs, theorganisationhasalwayshad tohustle forfunding for salaries and food bills.“One of the biggest challenges came
when the owners put the building up forsale in February 2008 – there were 35women and 42 children in the house atthe time.
“The committee, who I thinkwas tiredof constantly having to source funding,decided they would close the project.Eleven of the 14 staff left, but three decid-ed to stay on to ‘keep the ship afloat’. Andhave they had a rough ride!”Arendorf saysmaintenance is another
challenge as POH is in need of an up-grade.However, despite the challenges POH
face, there have been success stories.“I think of a young girl who came from
one of the informal settlements and (she)was pregnant at the time she came to us.After she gave birth, a printing companyoffered to pay her tuition at a collegewhere she completed a diploma in earlychildhood development. Her life and(that of) her little boy is so different now!“Another story – a young girl who was
at POH with her mother went on to ma-triculate from a local high school, thengot a bursary to study at UWCwhere shecompleted a BPsych degree and is com-pleting a MPsych in Denmark.“For many other of the women who
have come in through our doors, thegreatest success is that they, throughcounselling and life skills programmes,have come to realise that they haveworth, potential and they stop believingthe lies of their perpetrators,” she states.“Then, with a skill tucked under theirbelts, they can become economically andemotionally independent, and be re-inte-grated into society to live in peace andwith dignity.”She says that POH will continue to
seek funding. They held a market dayover the weekend to raise funds formaintenance and to switch their powerbackon.Theyalso facilitate a soupkitch-en every Thursday with the CommunityBible Fellowship.V Anyone willing to contribute by way of a donation or volunteer can call 021 697 2019.
A home where hopesprings eternal
Foilists have eye on prizeThree local foilists will be representingSouth Africa in the upcoming Common-
wealth Fencing Junior Championships andthe inaugural Commonwealth Fencing Ca-det Championships.The competition will draw participants
from 14 countries andwill be held at theUni-versity of Cape Town’s sports centre fromSaturday to Friday next week.Foilist Alexander Collings (18), Robert
McGregor (19) and Faa’iq Gamieldien (17)are participating in the under 20s categoryof the competition.
ExcitementPatrick Collings, chairperson of Fencing
Western Cape, says the team is very excitedbut with the older ones it’s more about per-formance.“They have been to a lot of competitions
and they have been working hard, so thistime it’s about how they perform. This willbe a good gauge of how fencing is doing inSouth Africa and we believe they will repre-sent us well,” he says.Alexander from Claremont saw the Fen-
cing Olympics on TV while in Grade 4 andit caught his heart.He says what he saw then activated some-
thing in him. “When I saw it on TV I wasso determined to try it out. It makes me sohappy that I have achieved so much at ayoung age and there is still more to accom-plish,” says Alexander.
Top rankedMcGregor who hails from Constantia is
currently the top-rankedu.20men’s foilist inthe country. He has competed in five juniorworld championships and two junior Afri-can championships and has been fencing for10 years.McGregor says that in having taken part
in the international and African juniorchampionships andbeing a seasoned compe-tition he “does not plan on underestimatingthe opposing countries”.“We will be competing against the likes of
Australia, Canada, England and Singapore,who have very strong competitors, but wehave a fighting chance and intend to per-form and perform well,” he says.Meanwhile Gamieldien from Grassy Park
only started fencing in 2005 and is currentlyfourth-highest ranked u.20 men’s foilist inSouth Africa.
PassionGamieldien says his passion for the sport
started the moment he entered primaryschool.He says the sport has opened doors for him
and he especially enjoys the travellingwhen
competing internationally.“I have seen many different countries
since I started competing professionally.The fun part also comes when I meet newpeople and familiarise myself with the dif-ferent countries,” he says.“I have confidence thatmy team and I will
bring home gold. Although we will not un-derestimate the competition, I know we arecapable of taking gold,” he says.

to get back into community policing in abig way again,” Loonat says.He adds his plans forCPFs in the cluster
is to work together and ensure that every-one “is on the same page”.“We need to foster a relationship be-
tween neighbouring CPFs where the onewill assist the other in community polic-
ing duties. This is the only way we cantake back our communities,” he says.Neighbourhood watches will also form

City warns against‘buying’ housingEARL HAUPT
@EarlHaupt
The City of Cape Town has urged residentsnot to fall victim to housing scams whichhave been reported in someparts of the city.Benedicta van Minnen, mayoral commit-
tee member for human settlements, saysthat victims should report it to the police.“It has been confirmed that some resi-
dents have fallen victim to these scams andhave indeed ‘bought’ land or housing unitswhichwerepromised to themthrough theseillegal sales,” says Van Minnen in a state-ment.The City confirms that scammers, who
claim to be from the human settlements di-rectorate, have been operating with unau-thorised documents which contain theCity’s official logo.It is alleged that once the promised hous-
ing units or pieces of land have been “sold”,the culprits disappear with the money.In some cases, it has been reported that
the scammers even send an SMS “allocat-ing” an erf number to the duped resident –
but they have paid for a non-existent erf.“It saddens me to hear about such cases,”
continues Van Minnen.“Residents must note that, should a per-
son qualify in terms of the national criteriafor a subsidy, theymust not pay anymoneyto anyone to be placed on the housing data-base or to receive a house.”
Update databaseVan Minnen urges applicants to contact
their local housing office to update their de-tails on the housing database so that theycan be contacted easily when their housingopportunity arises.“I also ask those who are not registered
to find out whether they qualify for a subsi-dised housing opportunity.”Potential applicants can apply at a local
housing office, the City’s Wale Street walk-in centre or by visiting the housing kioskon the 2nd floor of the Civic Centre in Hert-zog Boulevard.Residents can also contact the housing
call centre on 021 444 0333 or apply online onthe City’s website.

The Kenilworth Racecourse Conserva-tion Area (KRCA) protects 52 hectares ofcritically endangered Cape Flats sandfynbos. Tomake sure that the area iswelltaken care of a Miss Earth South Africasemi-finalist teamed up with the Custo-dians of Rare and EndangeredWildflow-ers (Crew) on a recent visit to the areato help out.Situated in the centre of Kenilworth
Racecourse, the KRCA is regarded as thebest example of sand fynbos remainingin the Cape Peninsula. It is also one ofthe largest stretches of natural vegeta-tion left over in Cape Town’s southernsuburbs.It boasts over 300 plant species, 10
mammal species, 17 reptile species andeleven frog species. These include thecritically endangered micro frog (alsoknownas theCapeFlats frog), the endan-gered Cape platanna and Cape rain frog– all of which are endemic to the South-Western Cape, making the KRCA a hot-spot for amphibian life on theCapeFlats.Miss Earth semi-finalist Andrea von
Gunten says no other single urban, natu-ral vegetation remnant on our planetcomes close in terms of sheer plant spe-cies numbers, relative to physical area.“It’s educational potential is of great
value, as it is located in an urban envi-ronment, making it easily accessible forschool groups,” she says.This area shows the biological diversi-
ty that can be found within the bounda-ries of the city, she says.“We were even fortunate enough to
find a rare and endangered plant, Hesseacinnamomea, that recently came up aft-er the ecological burn in February.“This site should remain protected so
that future generations can have an ex-ample of what this critically endangeredvegetation type once looked like. Urbannature reserves are of great importanceas they encompass a vast array of biodi-versity,” adds Von Gunten.The visitors ended the day by donating
work gloves to the conservation staff andstationery for school group visits.Von Gunten says she has a passion for
conservation andwant to useMiss EarthSouthAfrica as aplatform to createmoreawareness around the importance of ur-ban nature reserves.
A rare plant, Hessea cinnamomea, hasflowered in the Kenilworth RacecourseConservation Area after the recent fire.The area hosts many special plants andanimals, including the endangered CapeFlats frog.
Policy toimprovesafetyA new traffic calming policy, aimed at ad-
dressing a backlog of requests for speedhumps andwith a new focus to protect chil-dren on theirway to school, is being consid-ered by the City of Cape Town.According to a statement, residents are
asked to air their views on the new policy.Brett Herron, mayoral committee mem-
ber for transport, explains theCity receivesmore than 400 requests for traffic calmingmeasures each year.There is currently a backlog of 500 traffic
calming projects to the value of R30m.Counting among these are requests for
speed humps, raised pedestrian crossings,mini-traffic circles, road markings androad narrowing – all devices to force driv-ers to slow down on residential roads.“Over the past years, we have seen an in-
crease in the number of requests for trafficcalmingmeasures, which can be attributedto thedeterioration indriver discipline anda general disregard for the rules of the roadby all types of road user. Given the currentbacklog and the steady increase in re-quests, it has become necessary to revisitthe current regime. As such, a new policywhich seeks to prioritise the implementa-tion of these measures where pedestrians,and particularly children, aremost vulner-able at schools, parks and libraries is nowon the table.”He explains the purpose of the newpolicy
is to create a system that is financially sus-tainable, responsive to critical safety prob-lems on residential roads and that will con-tribute to work through the backlog withina reasonable time.Part of the new policy proposes that the
transport department implement trafficcalmingmeasures on roads next to existingschools as a matter of priority, with thebenchmark of at least 50 schools per year.It also proposes that ward councillors
may identify, motivate and fund trafficcalming measures in response to a provenhistory of accidents on a road or in re-sponse to a recent and very urgent incidentthat demands immediate intervention.The policy also makes provision for indi-
viduals or organisations to fund trafficcalming measures, subject to prescribedconditions.V Public participation on the new policy takes placeon Sunday 16 August. You can find the policy at yournearest subcouncil office or library or on www.capetown.gov.za.

“Flower arrangement is about the wayyou feel. Your flowers must talk to
someone and they shouldn’t feel sad or lookunrealistic.”This is what Edith Rule, a follower of the
Ikenobo school of flower arranging, be-lieves. Rulewas speaking at the Ikebana andbonsai exhibition at the University of CapeTown Irma Stern Museum which was heldlast week.The flowers in the exhibitionwhere putup
by her students in freestyle form arrange-ments.Rule believes flowers are the way people
communicate with nature.“By freestyle we mean these flowers are
able to do what you like them to do. Youmake them look the way you want. Makethem communicate. They must talk to youabout the seasons and they are an expres-sion of what’s happening. Flower arrange-ment is about how you feel, it’s a connectionbetween you and what is happening in theworld,” she says.Originally a Japanese concept, Ikebana
means living flowers and is the Japaneseterm for flower arranging. It had its originin Buddhism in China and Korea. It broughtabout, through the centuries, a refined artwhich was originally practised by priestsand noblemen and in later centuries by Jap-anese in all walks of life. It became less for-malised over more centuries and is todaypractised by enthusiastic volunteers ofmany different nationalities.Rule adds that to do flower arrangement
properly one must be aware of your chosenmaterials, their space and their surround-ings.“Some flowers won’t do well in the house
and some work perfectly on a coffee table.
Just know and understand your environ-ment. This will allow your flower to talk toyou thewayyouwant it. Some flowersmightbe too big for a house and more suitable fora public space. Flower arrangement is amodern thought into a modern feeling. It’sa way of communication and to expressyourself,” she adds.To create beautiful ikebana the selection
of different kinds of plant material demandsan experienced eye and considerable techni-cal skill in order to create a kind of beautythat cannot be found in nature.Thys Klem, exhibitor of the bonsai, says
one of his trees, a wild olive, is 40 years old.

Planned growth in the traffic departmentis set to reduce offences and accidents.The City of Cape Town’s traffic service is
expecting to swell its ranks by over 120 newofficers in the next year.Over 50 traffic officer positions and four
supervisor positions have been approved,says JP Smith, mayoral committeememberfor safety and security. And there are evenmore in the pipeline.The City has made provision for the staff
appointments in the new budget.A total of 60 traffic officer posts still need
to be approved by the council based on aplanned business model and an additional20 traffic officers are expected to be recruit-ed to enhance the newly established trans-port enforcement unit.“The City of Cape Town’s traffic service
is under-staffed. Road safety has becomeone of the most important focus areas dueto the number of deaths and the huge finan-cial cost of traffic accidents,” he says.They are set to introduce a dedicated 24-
hour service, Smith explains.“The newmemberswill add to the visibil-
ity of the service and hopefully help to re-duce the number of offences and accidentson the roads. An additional benefit is the in-direct policing of other crimes,” he says.But the new traffic officers won’t be the
only addition to the service.A new system, which will use dashboard
cameras, is set to be rolled out by the endof next year, Smith says.“The cameraswould enhance the enforce-
ment of offences by recording the activitiesof the staff. This is something that is usedin other countries and has evidential valuein the courts to help with the justice pro-cess,” he says.

LEGAL DEDUCTIONS FROM SOCIAL GRANTS
The SASSA Payment Card
Which Deduction Is Legal?
How can SASSA assist social grant beneficiaries with illegal deductions?
Safety tips for all social grant beneficiaries:
one
0800 60 10 11
Western Cape Helpline @ (021) 469 0235 or 0800 60 10 11.
The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA), would like to provide communities with the
following information regarding social grant deductions:
The SASSA branded payment card, was introduced to allow social grant beneficiaries the convenience of
accessing their social grant anywhere and at any time. The SASSA payment card is a debit card and
allows for cash to be withdrawn from ATM's, purchases to be made from suppliers and legal deductions to
be made. The introduction of the SASSA payment card into the banking system unfortunately also
provided an opportunity for social grant beneficiaries to be exploited through unauthorized deductions.
Before the social grant is paid into the bank account of a beneficiary only deduction is allowed to be
made for a funeral policy, which may not exceed 10% of the total value of the social grant. This premium is
deducted by SASSA before the social grant is paid to the beneficiary and then paid over to the relevant
insurance company.
Once the social grant is paid into the bank account that is linked to the SASSA debit card, legal deductions
instituted by financial entities will take effect for purchases that were made ie: airtime, electricity, micro-
loans, credit instalments, policy premiums etc. Any disputes should be resolved directly between the social
grant beneficiary and the entity that instituted the deduction.
Social grant beneficiaries are requested to report any illegal deductions to the nearest SASSA
office/service point where they will be assisted to complete a claim form so that the matters can be
investigated. Alternatively beneficiaries can contact the SASSA call centre @ where
SASSA staff will record the relevant details and refer the matter for investigation. Where beneficiaries have
not authorized deductions or for their SASSA cards/account details to be used by others, the deducted
amounts will be paid back to them. This is usually done within a period of 3 working days. Should any
social grant beneficiary not receive the required assistance from a SASSA office or staff member this must
be reported to the office manager or the
• Do not to respond to SMS messages offering airtime, electricity and other services. By responding
to these messages, beneficiaries are actually taking on a "subscription" service and the amounts
will be deducted off the bank account through the EFT debit system every month.
• Do not use your SASSA payment card as security for loans and to purchase any financial services
products.
• Do not authorize deductions to be made against your card except for the one funeral policy
deduction that should not exceed 10% of the social grant value.X1Q9NXFW-QK070715

Vusi Pikoli holdspolice to accountNICOLE MCCAIN
@nickymccain
Promoting transparency and accountabil-ity in the police service is the task of
South Africa’s first police ombudsman.The ombudsman’s office was established
under the Western Cape Community SafetyAct and is the only one in the country.Ombudsman Vusi Pikoli, previously head
of the National Prosecuting Authority, saysthe provincial department of communitysafety was receiving many service deliverycomplaints from the public. Thesewere thenforwarded on to the police, as the depart-ment was not legally empowered to investi-gate any of them. The Act now takes advan-tage of national legislation allowing provin-cial government to investigate complaintsor set up a commission of enquiry, as wasseenwith the Khayelitsha commission of in-quiry.However, the ombudsman operates en-
tirely independently of provincial govern-ment, Pikoli says, and the office will “fierce-ly protect” that independence.“We don’t play politics here,” he says.
“The question of crime affects everybodyand we need the public and police to trustand have confidence in us.”
Service deliveryThe ombudsman’s office oversees 151 sta-
tions across the province and 21 000 officers.Over 40 of these stations fall in the CapeTownmetro. The office only has three inves-tigators, whichmakes this amammoth task.Since the office opened in mid-January, it
has received almost 150 complaints and en-
quiries, of which 48 have been resolved.The office aims to conclude a complaint
within threemonths, depending on the com-plexity of the case, Pikoli says.The ombudsman only deals with service
delivery complaints, such as the failure ofthe police to arrive after being called out orbeing rude to public visiting a police station.The office also looks into court cases
which have been thrown out due to investi-gations taking too long, lost dockets or wit-nesses not subpoenaed.
Sustainable solutionsThe ombudsman looks to find systemic
failures and come up with sustainable solu-tions, Pikoli explains. For every complaintthe office validates the claims and approach-es the police station in question for “theirside of the story”.“The majority of officers are good, law-
abiding peoplewhowant to do their jobwell.Thereareonlya fewwhoarenot diligent andtarnish the name of the police,” he says.The ombudsman’s vision is to build a soci-
ety in which there is trust and respect be-tween the police and the community, Pikolisays.“If there is trust, crime will be reported.
But this trust has to be earned. The policemust respect the community, and the com-munity must respect the police. Our visionis of a police service that is accountable,” hesays.V Complaints can be made about the police, trafficofficers and metro police in writing or an appointmentcan be made with the office. For more information,contact the ombudsman on 021 483 0669 or om[email protected].
Parents jump infor their swimmersTIYESE JERANJI
@jeranji
A group of parents from Lansdowne, Mitch-ell’s Plain, Plumstead and Retreat believethat swimming is not getting asmuch cover-age as other sports, making it difficult to befinanced or to get sponsorship.For their children to take part in swim-
ming competitions, they say they have to digdeeper, but they can’t always afford to payfor their travel when they go to a competi-tion outside the province. To make mattersworse, there are not enough heated swim-ming facilities, making it difficult for theirchildren to practise throughout the year.To raise money the parents hosted a fund-
raising dinner dance for four children at theClaremont civic centre last week.The four swimmers, Camrin Elliot (12),
Nezario Stevens (12), Ciara Payne (11) andInez Marthinus (10), are all level two swim-mers with Vineyard Swimming Club.They have all competed at regional cham-
pionships and are currently preparing fortrials to represent the Western Cape in Pre-toria in December. The money made at thefundraiser will cover some of the expensesfor this trip.One of the parents, DavidMarthinus, says
they received an overwhelming response.“We are glad that people came out to sup-
port us and to make sure that our kids suc-ceed, because they put in a lot of hours tomake sure that they excel in what they do.Themoneywill go a longway in helping.Wewon’t stop nowbecause there are a lot of oth-er competitions, so we will continue to hostsuch events,” he says.Another parent, Tracey Payne, also says
the event was a success. They are glad thatwhat they got will help them prepare for thenext tournament.The parents are already looking forward
to another fundraising event. Those whowant to attend the fundraiser or donate tohelp can contact Marthinus on 076 406 3458or Payne on 074 976 8019.

One of South Africa’s iconic couples, Archibishop Des-mond Tutu and his wife Leah, last week celebrated their60th wedding anniversary by renewing their vows.In a society plagued by high divorce rates, making it
to 60 years of wedded bliss is nomean feat, which is exact-lywhy it is so important to have such positive rolemodelswhen it comes to marriage.In fact, according to statistics released by StatsSA in
December, nearly half of marriages that end in divorcelast less than 10 years.In our consumer-driven culture, fuelled by instant grat-
ification, “fixing things” is not an idea that comes natu-rally to many people. Coupled with a high dose of over-the-top romance in themedia,manyyoung couples expectmarriage to be like something out of a Nicholas Sparksnovel.Most couples who have been married for a long time
will tell you that their secret is compromise and patience.The reality is that good relationships don’t just happen,theydevelop over time. There’s a fair amount ofwork thatgoes into keeping romance alive.Another “marriage secret” you’ll oftenhear is:A couple
that laughs together stays together. It’s the laughter thathelps keep a couple connected and “in tune” despite thestresses of daily life.We owe it to future generations towork on our relation-
ships. Instead of giving up show them that true romanceis about companionship and not just whirlwind romanceand to teach them the value of happiness that comes fromfamily stability.When previously asked her secret to staying in love for
so many years, Leah Tutu reportedly said: “There is nomagic to making marriage work. A marriage is nevermade in heaven‚ you make it what it is. If you love a per-son‚ it’s simply not enough. Youmust meet halfway‚ giveand take‚ for the rest of your lives”.
Don’t allow crime to ruleIn a recent media report the InteriorMinister of Italy denounced the homagethat arose in Oppido Mamertina, aCalabrian town and mafia stronghold. Aparade held in the town included theclergy, the mayor and high profilefamilies carrying a statue of the Madon-na. The walk took a detour to honour alocal mafia don. This event arose afterPope Francis excommunicated membersof the mafia. The incident validates thedeep connections criminals have withstate structures and the church in Italy.Criminality around the courts of Cape
Town is a warning that should becrushed instantly. Criminals that ap-peared in court, now have followers thatescort them. The fans include preachers;they display placards, stating the inno-cents of the criminal.It is a sad truth that we live in a sick
society. The fact that children andinnocent people are killed by savagesregularly near schools and playgroundsis an outrage. That murder can occur
near a magistrates’ court confirms thedeep contempt that criminals have forlaw and order.We cannot have a situation comparable
to Italy where the political and religiousleaders of a town and perhaps a nationare scared of criminals. Those who haveno respect for the sanctity of the courtsof law and the purity of public spacesmust be removed permanently fromsociety.Our society should not spend limited
tax monies on the rehabilitation orwell-being of criminals. We do not wantinsight into their criminality, we wantthem gone. We need tax and ratepayersmoney to build houses and schools andparks.In the words of the wise, those in
governance, better listen. If crime is notmanaged, soon, peaceful people willresort to required action to protectthemselves and their families.

Parents should become cyber savvyWith the school holidays in full swing, Iappeal to parents to familiarise them-selves with the various social medianetworks that their children use, to helpkeep them safe from online predators.Each social media platform has unique
risks and many children don’t realise thedangers.They underestimate how easily accessi-
ble their information is and forget thatothers are watching their online activity.Talk to your children about the dangersof social media.Social media can be a wonderful tool,
but we need to keep a close eye on itsusage in order to keep our children safe.

Act now to preventfuture ‘shedding’We have seen and we are still experienc-ing the utter chaotic demoralising effectload shedding by Eskom has had on ourpersonal and economic lives.All this is due to the fact that foresight
in maintenance and proper managementskills were and are not in place. Thisplague must teach us a lesson and wemust learn as a country that suchshortcomings must never happen again,because it affects the lives of us, thecitizen, in a negative way.We have to look at our water supply
now and ensure that the wells do not dryup. We have to put measures in placenow to ensure that we do not have watershedding. We have to look at our currentmaintenance capabilities and even go sofar as to think of investing in waterdesalination. Our politicians must placethis item on the agenda now for safe-guarding the present and supplyingfuture water resources to man and beast.The other aspect we must deal with nowis the supply and safeguarding of ourfood. No person or animal can survivewithout food so therefore we must putmeasures and plans in place now toensure a continuous, constant cheapsupply of food for now and for the future.The politicians and all role-players haveto amend current legislation in relationto food production in rural and cityareas. The monopoly on food productionby a few for profit has to end andmeasures and plans have to be imple-mented now so that food can always beafforded a place on the table. We canonly imagine what food shedding willlead to and here one has to just peepback at one of the reasons we hadFrench and Russian revolutions.South Africa, to prevent all manners of
future shedding, we as citizens now haveto be vocal and tangible in our efforts toget those we voted in to implementmeasures and to appoint the correctpersons in the various life-giving projectsor we will have such misery it will beunimaginable to describe or to experi-ence.

Music classesa weekend affairGARY VAN DYK
@gvdcapejazz
All youngsters and adults who are intere-sted in getting a better grip on music are
invited to join Saturday music classes inLansdowne.
IMAD, the Institute for Indigenous Musi-cal Arts Development, which serves theyouth in three schools on the Cape Flatslaunched an initiative in June to open itsdoors to all those interested in learning howto play music.
Music teacher and IMAD director GeorgeWerner explains that talented instrumenta-lists get the chance to perform with the insti-tute’s Little Giants big band.
“IMAD’s Saturday school aims to providehigh school pupils, whose schools do not of-
fer musical training, the opportunity tolearn to play music,” he says.
“The school will also cater for young andadult music learners from the surroundingneighbourhoods.”
Highlights of the initiative’s launch thattook place at York Road Primary School atthe end of June included performances bythe Little Giants and the Vuma Levin Quin-tet from the Netherlands.
This professional jazz group is touringSouth Africa, including performing at theNational Youth Jazz Festival in Graham-stown, where the Little Giants will also bepresent.
The IMAD Saturday classes will takeplace at York Road Primary in Lansdowne.V For more details contact Nick Green on084 660 6158 or [email protected].
At the recent launch of Saturday music classes in Lansdowne were, from left, Colin Isaacs(IMAD boardmember and York Road principal), George Werner (IMAD director and teacher),Paul Sedres (IMAD member), Mervyn Weder (IMAD member), Nick Green (IMAD boardmem-ber), Jill McCann (coordinator of the IMAD Saturday music school), Carlo Fabe (IMAD teacher)and Muneeb Hermans, trumpeter and member of the Little Giants big band.

With darkness falling so early in winter,residents are urged to be aware and pre-pared for loadshedding in the future.
Many people are under the incorrectassumption that their home alarm is offwhen the power supply is interrupted.But if you have a stable and correctly pro-grammed system, coupled with a batteryin good condition, it will continue to pro-tect the premises during a power outage.
Adrian Good, a general manager atADT Security, says it is essential that res-idents regularly test their alarm systemsto ensure that it is in working order.
“Most modern alarm systems have aback-up battery pack that activates auto-matically when there is a power failure.Theonly time itmaynot function correct-ly is if there is a technical issue, or thebattery power is low,” he says.
Good adds that there are a number ofpractical steps to take to ensure security
is not compromised during loadshed-ding.
Some of these include ensuring that thealarm system has an adequate batterysupply, that all automated gates anddoors are secured and lastly to remainvigilant and report any suspicious activi-ty to your security provider or the police.
With the added inconvenience of thelights going out at night due to powercuts, candles and touch lights are handyalternatives.
Good says home and business ownersshould consider installing LED lightsthat are integrated into the alarm sys-tem’s wiring.
They automatically switch on for amaximum of 15 minutes when there ispower outage.
“If there is an additional battery pack,the small, non-intrusive LED lights canstay on for the duration of the power out-age or a maximum of 40 hours withoutdraining the primary alarm battery,”says Good.
Keep your home safewhen the lights go off
Pupils get a pass for schoolTIYESE JERANJI
@jeranji
B-All Training Academy hosted a two-dayschool holiday programme last week inwhich 30 pupils from three schools partici-pated.
Pupils from Cedar, Grassy Park and Port-land high schools were trained in improv-ing memory – being able to remember andprocess information important for theirschoolwork.
The pupils were also taught how to per-form complicated operations and given lan-guage training.
A pupil from Portlands High School inMitchell’s Plain, Ruwayda Rhode, says itwas a good and informative programme.
“I have learnt how to outsmart my calcu-lator and how to study better than before.This will not make me improve my grades
at the end of the year but will be a life lessonfor all the tasks that I come across,” saysRhode.
Lameez Fortune, a Grade 11 teacher atGrassy Park High School, says it was some-thing the pupils really needed.
“The pupils were blown away; motivatedby this interactive and unforgettable learn-ing experience,” he says.
Bradley de Kock, founder of B-All, whichis based at Shawco in Kensington and hasbeen hosting this event annually since 2012,says it is a way of giving back to the commu-nity in a way that makes learning fun.
“Most schools in underprivileged com-munities never get such an opportunity. Sothis is our way to make them have hope andequip them with skills that they can use intheir day-to-day lives and going aroundtheir tasks at school much easier, withmore confidence,” he says.
Thirty pupils from three Cape Town high schools attended a two-day B-All holiday pro-gramme. They say it was very informative to learn, among other things, how to improve yourmemory.

Sax man shareshis journey in notesGARY VAN DYK
@gvdcapejazz
The streets of Elsies Rivermay be betterknown for crime and gangsterism butthe smooth saxophone sound of Don-veno Prins has proved that music canempower.On Friday and Saturday you will get
the chance to discover that journeywhen he hosts From Elsies to the worldat the Baxter Concert Hall.It’s a journey that is still on a positive
path but, like so manymusicians on theCape Flats, it started in the church, ledtoChristmas bands and eventually tour-ing the world.“When I was still in school I never
thought that thiswould bemybread andbutter,” he says. “I always loved music,but it was only when I worked for Shop-rite that one day I realised that workingin the retail industrywas notwhat I wasborn todo. I remember clockingouthalf-way throughmy shift and I never lookedbackandhere I am todaydoing the thingthat I love so much and the bonus is I’mgetting paid for it.”Clocking out on that fateful day was
the best gift that local music was given.
HighlightsJoining Abdullah Ibrahim’s jazz pro-
gramme led to his ability flourishing, get-ting chosen to be part of the National YouthBand and touring to many festivals acrossthe world, but since then he has become astaple of the South African music scene.Best known for his performances in pro-
ductions such as Intimate nights chapter II,Love, jazz & duets andMusic alla Kaap, he’salso worked alongside renowned local art-ists such as Lloyd Cele, Loyiso Bala, JimmyDludlu, JudithSephuma,PJPowers andLa-dysmith Black Mambazo.“It’s always been exciting toworkwith all
these musicians but one of the highlights ofmy career was when I got the opportunityto perform with Jonathan Butler. Also re-cording with Kirk Whalum on his latestGospel according to jazz chapter 4was a phe-nomenal experience.”With this showat theBaxterhe is inviting
audiences to discover his journey in music.“This show and the process of creating it
has been so empowering and fresh to me.“Manymusicians tend to be too comforta-
ble behind their instrument, but this showallows me to showcase not just my musicalskills but also my storytelling abilities.
“This show has also kind of forced me todig a bit deeper into my heritage to find outexactly where I come from and the impactit had on where I’m now.”Inmore recent years,Donvenohas settled
into the chair of musical director for pro-ductions such asBlood brothers,Radio clas-sics, Kat and the kings, and 3 wise men.
Positive musicBut he still wants to play a role in mento-
ring young people to discover the joy andempowering force of music. Since 2009 hehasbeenpart of theDelftYouthMusicAcad-emy, training underprivileged youth toread and perform all genres of music.“Positive music can definitely play a big
role in guiding our youth away from nega-tive influences.”FromElsies to theworld is directed byAli-
stair Izobell and includes original com-posedmusic. Itwill be performed inEnglishand Afrikaans.Tickets are R120 at Computicket on
0861 915 8000, online at www.computick-et.co.za or at any Shoprite Checkers store.V For discounted corporate or block bookings, fundraisers and charities, call Sharon on 021 680 3962or Carmen on 021 680 3993 during office hours.

EARL HAUPT@EarlHaupt
The South African nationaldarts championship is cur-rentlyunderway inJohannes-
burg until its conclusion on Fri-day.
The first national champion-ships were held in Cape Town in1993, which served as the platformfor Darts South Africa (DSA) to beformed through the unification ofall the darting districts and associ-ations in South Africa.
TheWesternCape is representedby four affiliated districts whichform the federation: Cape Town,West Coast, Cape Winelands andEden.
Cape Town Darts is made up ofnine associations, including two-time defending inter-districtchampion Peninsula Darts Associ-ation (PDA).
The other associations are: Ath-lone, Mitchell’s Plain, NorthernSuburbs, Ocean View, South Pen-insula, Southern Suburbs, Sti-kland and the Western ProvinceDarts Association.
The DSA tournament formatconsists of an inter-regional andinter-district four-a-side competi-tion in which players compete inboth doubles and singles play. Theinter-district competition has sev-en divisions.
Peninsula will be leading thecharge of the Cape Town teams inthe inter-district competition,where they will be chasing an un-
precedented third title in a row.They are unbeaten for the past
two years, having not lost a matchat thenational championship since2013.
TheWesternCapewomen’s teamtook national honours in the inter-regional competition last year,while the men’s team finished asthe runners-up in their division.
Peter Bowers, manager of thePDA men’s team, is confident thatthe team is ready to defend its na-tional title. Frank Avenant, LesleyBeukes, Jason Erasmus, ElroyDirks, Jason Hendricks, FranklynMiller, Sean Shaw andAshwin Ad-ams will be representing PDA atthis year’s tournament.
Avenant will also compete in theInternational World Darts tourna-ment inTurkey inOctober and rep-resent South Africa there.
Warren Hansen, Cape TownDarts’s transformation official andPDA’s vice-chairperson, echoesBowers’ optimism.
“The only challenger to thethrone is the Western ProvinceDarts Association.
“Western Province has fourplayers in the Western Cape DartsFederation team as well.”
Hansen also highlights top play-ers in the Cape Town district whocouldmakean impact in this year’sinter-district tournament: “Play-ers who are performing very welland are on top of their game in theregion are Wesley Daries andMar-thinus Grobelaar.
“These two gentlemen were thetwo top performers at the WesternCape Darts Federation trials. Bothplayers are from Cape Town Dartsandwill be representing theWPDAin the inter-district competition.
“The women who are perform-ing very well are Yolanda van Roo-
yen from Cape Town Darts, whowill also be representing SouthernSuburbs Darts Association at thenational darts tournament, andMaxi Keet of the Cape Winelandsregion in Paarl,” he says.
Van Rooyen, along with youth
player Tayla Carolissen, will bejoining Avenant in Turkey as theCape Town locals fly the flag forSouth Africa.
The next Darts South Africacompetition will be hosted inBloemfontein next year.
Dart players to hit the mark
The Southern Suburbs Darts Association women’s team plays out of theRetreat Hotel. The team will also participate in the South African nationaldarts championship.
The Southern Suburbs Darts Association men’s team is also in Gauteng for the South African championship.
Mitchell’s Plain Recreational Associa-tion women’s team is (back, from
left) Felicia Sim, Althea Carolissen,Cynthia Sherrif and Colleen Solo-
mons and (front, from left) AnnetteAdams, Renee Sim (coach) and
Fazeela Adams.
