Kensington residents are calling for preference to be given to local pupils during school admissions. PHOTO: NICOLE MCCAIN

Kensington residents are demandingfirst preference in school admissions.Parents claim they are being turned
away to cater for pupils travelling into thearea.Kensington resident Aubrey Finck took
over guardianship of his grandson duringlast year, and was forced to place him in aschool in Salt River.He approached HJ Kronenberg Primary
in January last year, asking which steps heshould follow to enrol his grandson for the2015 school year.He maintains he visited the school anoth-
er three times during the course of the yearto ensure his grandchild would have place-ment.However, at the start of the school year he
was told there was no space.Finck, a pensioner, now has to pay trans-
port costs for his grandchild to go to schoolat Cecil Road Primary.HJ Kronenberg principal Yul Cupido re-
ferred People’s Post to the provincial educa-tion department for comment.Provincial education department spokes-
person Jessica Shelver says no forms werereceived by the school.“The secretary issued them with applica-
tion forms in July.”Shelver explains the school merged the
three previous Grade 2 classes into twoGrade 3 classes this year and the pupil wasplaced on a waiting list as the school waswaiting for two pupils to return from theEastern Cape.School governing bodies may determine
admission policies, in terms of the South Af-rican Schools Act, Shelver says.“Some community-based schools opt to
give preference to pupils from their local ar-eas, while others traditionally enrol pupilswho commute. The Western Cape does notapply a zoning policy,” she explains.Kensington mother Diedre Petersen at-
tempted to enrol her son intoGrade 8 at Ken-sington High, but was reportedly told theschool was full.She says he was denied a place because he
passed Grade 7 with adjustments, and the
high school gives preference to stronger aca-demic pupils.Kensington High is a Dinaledi focus
school – which places an emphasis onmathsand science – and therefore screens their pu-pils, says Shelver.“They received more than 400 applica-
tions for 180 places in Grade 8. Although the
pupil was not accepted at Kensington Highdue to poor maths and science marks, thefamily came to theMetroCentralDistrict forassistance and were offered a place at Wind-ermere High, which is within walking dis-tance from their home,” she says.But, says Petersen, she was informed both
Windermere and Maitland high were full,
and she could send her child back to Grade7.Ward councillor Lisa McBride believes
schools need to domore to accommodate pu-pils. “It’s against the Schools Act for chil-dren to not be in school. Priority needs tobe given to the area’s children, so they canreceive schooling where they live.”

MODIFIED CAR PROPOSAL
Regulation ‘is ridiculous’CHEVON BOOYSEN
@ChevonBooysen
Proposed regulations to clamp down on“illegal modifications and illegal
racers” seem to have had a false start.The new regulation, made public two
weeks ago and which are to be added to theTraffic Regulations Act, caused an uproaramong the motoring fraternity. The pro-posed regulation seeks to “impose stricterfines on illegal racers and cars that aremod-ified”, says a media release.Enthusiasts are now banding together to
take a stand against the proposed regula-tion.Meanwhile City of Cape Town safety and
security mayco member JP Smith said histeam will impose stricter fines on driversfound guilty of taking part in illegal races.He said media reports that he and his
team “plan to target drivers of modified ve-hicles” are “worryingly inaccurate”.“For the record, the City’s Traffic Service
is mandated to enforce the provisions of theNational Road Traffic Act No. 93 of 1996.[This is] a national piece of legislationwhich states that any modification of ortampering with a vehicle’s safety designrenders the vehicle unroadworthy unless itis done by the manufacturer or a registeredbody builder,” Smith says.But car enthusiasts and the after-market
industry wants clarity on what this regula-tion will mean in practical terms.Cape Town Car Enthusiasts (CTCE) rep-
resentative Kersten Greybe says confusionhas many motorists driving in fear.“People are scared to even just drive their
cars to the corner shops since the announce-ment.Nobodyknowswhat is happening andno answers have been given and we need toknow exactly what this means for the CapeTown car culture,” she says.Greybe says more people in the modified
car circle are selling their cars. “People areopting to sell their cars because they don’twant criminal records or to pay steep finesthatmay land them in court eventually. Theproposed [regulation] is ridiculous and willnever work.”She agrees it is good to clampdownon ille-
gal racing as it “endangers the car culturein the province”. “Clamping down on illegalracers I can understand as they are a hazardon the road. But to paint everybodywith thesame brush is horribly unfair.”She adds thatmanymotorists take part in
events at Killarney Raceway, but immedi-ately after events “we find ourselves in aroadblock, just outside the venue. What isthe point of practising your sport legally butyou’re victimised anyway?”She started an online petition to prevent
the proposed regulation being passed. Atthe time of the interview she represented20 000 motorists. “We want our voices to beheard. For too longwe have been underdogsand we have now decided to educate our-selves with regard to the proposed [regula-
tion]. We aren’t artists with canvasses soour masterpieces are our cars,” she says.Interpretation of and enforcing the letter
of the law is also at issue. Online posts havebeenbuzzingwith incidents of clampdowns.Ghost Squad officers have, meanwhile,
been fining drivers ofmodified vehicles andeven confiscating their car licence discs.Two drivers, in a post on Facebook, were
en route toKillarneywhen theywere arrest-ed for allegedly speeding. The officers alsotook their car licence discs. One driver wasfined R4000 for “inconsiderate driving andwheelspinning”.He posted that an officer said he would
“make an example of us because we are thepeople talkingbad [sic] of themonsocialme-dia”.He posted: “We spent our legal race night
with real criminals. The Ghost Squad offi-cer did everything in his ability to lock usup although the police at the police stationdid not want him to do so because of the pet-ty offence.”But Smith maintains the City’s law en-
forcement agencies “enforce the provisionsof these nationally mandated regulations”.Another motorist, who does not want to
be named, says the proposed regulation isdoomed. “It will never work. They haven’tthought this through. The motoring indus-try is huge and understandably people arein uproar. We feel victimised and have noclarity asSmith changeshis story everyoth-er day.”He says he is afraid to drive his car any-
where because the Ghost Squad is instillingfear in drivers.“I had lots of modifications done to my
car, so it may perform better. I spent a lotof time and money on it only to now not besure if I can drive around with it as theGhost Squad has been targeting modifiedcars since the release of the article a weekago.”Registered tuner shops say they fear the
after-market industry will be under threatshould the bylaw impose stricter laws onanybody with a modified vehicle.YaseenAbrahams, ofCPiPerformance In-
novation Cape Town, says they are “highlyconcerned” with the outlawing of car modi-fications.“CPi only engages in legalmodification of
cars andourwork is of thehighest standard.Outlawing modifications will have a hugeimpact on the industry. Surely if individu-als abideby the law it is their right tomodifytheir cars as they wish,” Abrahams says.The regulations are to be in effect inApril,
but Smith adds the enactment of the regula-tions is the responsibility of the provincialtransport division.“The City has lobbied for the inclusion of
impoundment of vehicles where owners arecaught participating in illegal street races,steep vehicle release fees to act as a furtherdeterrent, stricter penalties for motorists(including prison terms) especially thosewho try to evade the law when confrontedand suitable penalties for spectators at ille-gal street races to be included in the Act,”says Smith,who adds fitments by registeredafter-market tuners are legal if the properprocess has been followed.V What do you think the City should do to clamp downon illegal racers? Starting with the word “Post” SMSyour views to 32516. SMSes cost R1.
Proposed new regulations to stamp out illegal racing have been met with disbelief by themodified motoring fraternity. Many claim it will be difficult to enforce and say they’re beingvictimised because of the assumption that modified cars are used in illegal races.

SALT RIVER
Blow the whistle on crimeNICOLE MCCAIN
@nickymccain
A campaign to keep commuters safehas been launched by the Salt RiverBusiness Improvement District.
The campaign, which sees safety tips andwhistles issued to commuters, aims to re-duce incidents of muggings as pedestrianstravel between transport interchanges andtheir workplaces.
These robberies frequently take placeduring the early hours along FoundryRoad, the area around the Salt River circle,Durham Avenue and Salt River Road, saysWoodstock police spokesperson SergeantHilton Malila.
“The criminals specialising in this typeof crimes merely act on opportunity. Thesuspects’ modus operandi is that they grabthe cellphone out of your hand and run offinto side streets in Salt River,” says Malila.
He estimates incidents take place once ortwice a week.
“Various arrests are being made daily bypolice officers in the vicinity to take thecriminal element of the streets,” he adds.
This crime has been of concern to the im-provement district since it’s inception inSeptember last year, says Gene Lohrentz,manager of the improvement district man-agement company Geocentric.
“On starting the initiative we found thatthere were opportunistic criminals whotargeted people by grabbing handbags andcellphones. It became clear that womenmade an easier target and the incidents of-ten happened when they walked between
public transport points and their place ofwork or home,” he says.
“We then engaged throughout Decemberwith people in Salt River, handing out andexplaining safety tips that may help to keep
them safe. We decided to augment our safe-ty tip campaign with the Blow your Whis-tle initiative.”
This has seen the organisation distrib-ute whistles to commuters working in the
area, Lohrentz says.“Criminals don’t want attention and
they certainly don’t expect someone feel-ing or being threatened to make such amove as to blow a whistle. We hope thatthis, among all our other safety tip meas-ures, will assist in helping to keep peopleliving and working in the area safer,” hesays.
Blowing a whistle when feeling threaten-ed may prevent a crime, Malila says.
“We know that blowing a whistle in acrime situation will be a deterrent for thecriminal and alert others in the closest vi-cinity.”
When the criminal hears the whistle, hewill run and not commit the crime, Malilasays.
“It will also assist in indicating to the po-lice the direction and location of the sus-pects during an attempted robbery inci-dent,” he adds.
Lohrentz says the organisation will behanding out more whistles over comingmonths.
“The improvement district managementis in the process of identifying more targetgroups to join the campaign and based ontheir numbers we will acquire whistles.Anyone who hears someone else blowinga whistle continuously will look out andsee what is going on. The concept is thatof being a deterrent because the noise at-tracts attention. Our public safety officersthat patrol the area on foot is of course alsoon hand to respond should they have suchan incident within their hearing distance,”he says.

67 BLANKETS FOR MADIBA
Knitwits justkeep on clickingMAGRIET THERON
@magrietron
“My mother is 91 and, despite arthri-tis, she started knitting blanketsfor the 67 Blankets for Madiba
drive and it has given her a new lease on life,says Terry Milne from Fish Hoek. “Shecould not be here today, because she is sofrail; she’ll get blown over by the wind.”Terry spoke to People’s Post at a high tea
celebrating the first birthday of 67 BlanketsforMadiba held in the CompanyGardens onTuesday 27 January. Since the launch of thiscause in Johannesburg, it has gained worl-dwide support, with more than 2000 Face-book members who call themselves Knit-wits. Several groups in Cape Town come to-gether regularly to make blankets for thepoor.And anyone can be a Knitwit. Johan Beet-
ge says he became so attached to the blanket
he crocheted formonths last year that he sleptunder it the night before he donated it to thecause.Terry says: “My husband took up looming
andhemadeanenormousblanket.He is aper-fectionist and has become proficient in thequalities of wool, so 67 Blankets has becomean entire industry in our household.”She is also involved with a group of women
in Masiphumelele who knit squares and sheteaches children at primary schools to loomandknit as part of their life skills curriculum.These squares are then sewn together by vo-lunteers to make blankets.The original aim of the 67 Blankets project
was to make that number of blankets to handover to charity on Mandela Day in 2014. Butthat number was exceeded by hundreds.Now they are taking the challenge to the
next level, because, says Bryoni Dawson, theCape Town ambassador, people will alwaysneed blankets.
Carolyn Steyn, the driving force behindthe project, says: “We are on deadline. Weneed 21 000 blankets from all around SouthAfrica to place at the feet ofMadiba’s statueat the Union Buildings in Pretoria on Tues-day 21 April, to celebrate our 21 years of de-mocracy.”Bryoni adds: “Even inmates in Zonder-
water and Diepsloot prisons are knitting.”She says up to now this drive has grown
into a huge outpouring of goodwill.Cathy Dippnall, of Fish Hoek, says: “We
are a group of six women who get togethertwice a month to consolidate, bring donati-ons, share out and knit. We socialise andtalk about other projects we want to do.“Most of the women in our group did not
know each other before 67 Blanketswas es-tablished and now we have become closefriends.”There are a lot of very enthusisatic peo-
ple, says Cathy. There are groups across allthe suburbs who meet every week, get spon-sorhips and deliver.CharmaineDamstra fromPlumstead is al-
readyworking on her eighth blanket for thisyear.“Our group meets every last Wednesday
of the month from 19:00 to late, or until allthe champagne is finished. We get very thir-sty; it’s hard work you know,” Charmainesays, with a wink.Florence Reddy from Grassy Park agrees.
“This project is like a bug that bit us and wecannot get rid of it. Housework and cookinghave become secondary. I take my crocheteverywhere I go, and if I can’t take it along,I won’t go.”V Visit the 67 Blankets for Madiba Facebook page tobecome involved or donate wool. The organisationdoes not have a bank account and does not acceptmoney as donations.

WOODSTOCK
Poor service delivery claimNICOLE MCCAIN
@nickymccain
A visit to the city centre took a trau-matic turn for two pensioners, whoclaim they received poor service
from Woodstock police.Robert Chamberlain and his wife were
travelling throughWoodstock on the after-noon of Tuesday 13 January on a bus whenshe fell ill.
“Aswewere approachingWoodstockmywife got sick and collapsed,” says Robert.
“A female passenger very kindly came toour assistance and said we should stop thebus at the police station and get help fromthem as my wife was in no condition totravel further.”
The 67-year-old womanwas assisted intothe police station by passengers and thebus driver, but Robert’s hope of assistancewas soon dashed.
Once in the station the elderly womanfainted, landing on the floor.
She was violently ill, but Robert insistshe received no assistance from the four po-lice officers on duty at the time.
“She was left lying on the floor in herown vomit,” he says.
He eventually called his son, who wasnearby, and he assisted in transporting theill woman to her home.
She was later diagnosed with extremeheat exhaustion by the family’s doctor.
But the experience has left Robert deeplydisappointed with the police, he says.
“During all of that not once did anybodyon duty approach me to find out what waswrong,” he says.
“We are senior citizens and I’m disgust-ed by the way we were treated.”
Woodstock Community Police Forum(CPF) chairperson Moosa Sydow says theorganisation isworkingwith officers to ad-dress an “historical perception” of theWoodstock Police Station.
“I have ongoing engagement with thestation with the aim to improve their levelof interaction and quality of response to-wards our people in their time of need andcrises,” says Sydow.
“I know that this aspect of service deliv-ery is veryhighon theagendaof the stationcommissioner and is being vigorously ad-dressed.”
The CPF supports the way the stationmanagement addresses issues of concern,and gives input where it can be helpful,Sydow says.
“We as a teamaremindful of public opin-ion that tends to be destructive at timesand will respond based on the merits ofeach complaint, or commendationwhere itis given, in order to change the perpetua-tion of these negative tendencies towardsour police members,” he says.
Woodstock police spokesperson Ser-geant HiltonMalila says the matter will beinvestigated in order for the station to pro-vide better service in the future.
“We are very serious where service de-livery is concerned and we promise thatthis incident will be investigated by one ofour senior officers at the station,” saysMalila.

EDUCATION
Growth spurt for projectAn eco-friendly initiative has branched
off to educatingpupils about the impor-tance of trees and the positive impact
on the environment.Trees4Schools is headed by Suzi Nortje
who says the education process is integralto the success of the project.
She says during this process they soon re-alised helping teachers feed pupils is just asimportant and the organisation startedplanting vegetables.
To this end 2600 trees have been plantedand 160 sustainable veggie gardens havebeen established.
The initiative is sustained by a nationalnursery group which donates R2 from thesale of a range of promotional plants, mak-ing six-monthly contributions toTrees4Schools.
Nortje says the recent donation of R30 232will make a considerable difference to theirproject.
Nick Stodel, managing director of StodelsNurseries, says: “We receive numerous re-quests from various schools and charitiesasking for assistance. By partnering withTrees4Schools we are able to make sure theprojects are sustainable and the best use ismade of the money raised.
“This means monthly check-ups on pro-jects to ensure the trees and vegetables arebeing maintained. The fact thatTrees4Schools also feeds 1500 children dailyis absolutely wonderful.”
The Trees4Schools ethos includes a sus-tainability pledge. Nortje says: “We under-stand that the onlyway these projects are go-ing to be successful is if we continually fol-low up and ensure that on-going educationhappens with the children.”
She singles out project highlights. Theseinclude Yellowwood Primary in Mitchell’sPlain, Lifezone soccer project at WingfieldPrimary and St Agnes Primary in Wood-stockwhere a livingwall made from plantedup recycled soft drink bottles makes an at-tractive boundary for the school.
Stodel says: “We all need to do our bit toreduce our country’s carbon footprint.What
betterway than to plant trees and vegetablesin as many of our schools as possible.
“Not only does this help schools to growtheir own food, but also provides a great op-portunity to discuss global warming withpupils.”
He expressed enthusiasm for this year’sinitiative to create a commercial gardenwhich will create an income so that more
trees and veggies can be planted.“The Trees4Schools vision dovetails with
our ethos of nurturing budding horticultur-ists in our youth and getting them excitedabout the environment.We are delighted tobe partnering with them on this project,”says Stodel.

Beach outings soured by ‘double standards’We visited four beaches during our15-day stay in Cape Town: Camps Bay,Seaforth, Fish Hoek and Mnandi. Whatbothered me the most was the doublestandards applied when it comes to howyou get treated at these beaches.Camps Bay was our first stop for a dip
in the ocean. With our cooler box, towelsand sunscreen lotion we were lucky toget one of those beautiful blue umbrellas.The day was world class in terms ofamenities.New Year’s Day we went with the
extended family to Mnandi Beach, as wewere assured it had been “upgraded”. Iwas amazed that the place had noparking for disabled persons near thepool.Imagine my horror when a law en-
forcement officer decides that the samecooler box [used at] Camps Bay must besearched. I refused as it contained myfood and I was not sure how clean hishands were.On what did he base the decision to
search my cooler box? It did not happenonce at Camps Bay.I informed him if he can come with
clean hands and food safety gloves, mycooler box is all his.I am back in Johannesburg, and I’m
still waiting for him.The straw that broke the camel’s back
was having to witness elderly people,including my dad, stripped of theirdignity when they had to relieve them-selves behind cars and dunes as someonehad decided there was no urgency toopen the public toilets.After several requests, it was finally
opened at 11:30.It made sense why it was kept locked.
It was filthy and vandalised. This wasthe site that greeted everyone who didnot want to be fined for relieving them-selves behind cars and dunes.I am not for one moment crying racism
or any similar overused words, as thecleanliness of Cape Town is what weshould strive for.Why are the same world class stan-
dards at Camps Bay, Fish Hoek andSeaforth beaches not applied at MnandiBeach? Why search people and theirproperty at Mnandi, and not at CampsBay or Fish Hoek beaches?
ANONYMOUS,Email
Belinda Walker, Mayoral CommitteeMember for Community Services andSpecial Projects, responds: The Citydoes not wish to apply double standardsin terms of how any of our facilities arerun; rather, we aim to ensure that allour facilities are welcoming, inclusiveand safe spaces for the public to enjoy.The writer’s concerns were fully
investigated by both the manager forCoastal Coordination and the director ofSport, Recreation and Amenities (SRA).Given that 31 December is New Year’s
Eve and with peak season there is likelyto be a swathe of beach-goers accessingour facilities, the City makes every effortto ensure our facilities are well-preparedand in a clean, tidy condition. Ablutionsat beaches are open from 09:00 to 18:00and these amenities are serviced daily bydedicated cleaning staff throughout the
day. During the Christmas and New Yearperiod, staff gave assurance the ablutionsat Mnandi beach were open on time.The Coastal Coordination manager did
not receive any complaints about theablutions being closed nor any com-plaints about their condition. In suchinstances, updates and reports areprovided by the Disaster Risk Manage-ment Centre straight away and giventhat SRA did not receive any complaints,this letter came as a surprise. Neverthe-less, we sincerely apologise for anynegative experience that the writer mayhave had.
. Richard Bosman, of the City’s safetyand security directorate, responds:With regard to searches done on beaches,the City’s bylaws prohibit the introduc-tion, possession and consumption ofalcohol on beaches. In spite of this, manypeople contravene regulations – oftenwith devastating consequences. Over thepast festive season, staff confiscated11 570 bottles of alcohol from the beaches– an increase of 3200 bottles comparedwith the previous year. We also reporteda dramatic drop in the number ofdrowning incidents over the same period.Law enforcement staff conduct searches
at all beaches. It is easier to do this atsome beaches where access control iseasier to manage, compared with CampsBay which is an open access beach. Atthe latter, officers have to rely onroaming patrols to spot infringements,instead of searching vehicles and confis-cating alcohol as people enter the beacharea.
Locals should learn from foreignersWhenever there are xenophobic outburstsit would seem the looting is an act ofenvy of the foreigners opening up smallbusinesses in our communities.These businesses are set up in homes,
garages or containers and they sell foodand other basic necessities cheaply tolocal communities.Although they are mostly small busi-
nesses, it can be an antidote to unemploy-ment. Those who operate these shopsemploy people from the local communityand they make a decent living.Our fellow South Africans should learn
from our foreign neighbours and beencouraged to take that bold step andopen their own spaza shops.South Africans should perhaps source
partnerships with the poorer communi-ties and finance a few residents to openup shops.If there is a low-cost housing communi-
ty or informal settlements in my area,choose a few homeowners and becomelegal business partners with them.If you have a car, go to the big whole-
salers and buy and deliver stock to thepartners. Have a meeting every Friday onprofits, stocktaking and expansion.
KEITH BLAKE
The streets of Cape Town can be a cold and hard placefor the homeless.Probably the city’smost vulnerable group, street people
are old friends with hunger, addiction, abuse and illness.Yet we are told not to encourage homelessness.We are advised to report street people, refrain from giv-
ing directly to them and leave their fates in the hands ofthe municipality and night shelters.Because to not do this is to be “irresponsible”.This would make for an admirable plan, if those very
authorities were capable of assisting street people in linewith the promises they make.The City of Cape Town recently stated its Early Child-
hood Development Directorate had assisted 150 homelesspeople off the street over a three-month period, endingin December.At this rate, the City is assisting less homeless people
each month than it has fieldworkers.There are about 9000 people living on the street.If even a third of these street people wanted assistance,
it would take the City’s 64 fieldworkers and 13 reintegra-tion officers five years to relocate them from the city’sstreets.Nevermind the scores of peoplemigrating to the streets
daily.This is despite the City receiving assistance from a
number city improvement districts across the metrowhich have incorporated fieldworkers and rehabilitationprogrammes into their mandate.This service is borne out of care for one’s fellow man,
not legislation.One could by all means ‘give responsibly’ and leave as-
sisting street people to the municipality – if only one feltthose very authorities cared for their residents, bothhoused and living on the street.Real action is needed.

Patrolling the stationNICOLE MCCAIN
@nickymccain
A group of Kensington resi-dents have taken the safety ofcommuters into their own
hands.TheAcre Road Safety Patrol sees
a dozen locals patrolling the areaaround the Century City transportinterchange or stationed at entrypoints.Acre Road resident Quinton
Langeveldt started as a “lone ran-ger” standing guard at the stationin the evenings after reports sur-faced of commuters being robbed.“Women often walk alone at
night from the station and I wastrying to create some visibility, es-pecially at night,” he says.The area around the station has
been linked to a range of criminalactivities, from drug use, sexualcrimes, repeated illegal dumpingand criminals hiding out (“Field ofsinister dealings”, People’s Post, 5June 2014).The fieldwas usedmore recently
as a dumping ground for five vic-tims of a suspected serial killer(“Grim find at station”, People’sPost, 28 October 2014).After Langeveldt started posting
his activities on Facebook, thegroup slowly started growing.“First just one person joined me,but now we’ve grown to a dozenpeople,” says Langeveldt.The group is now in the process
of registering with the KensingtonCommunity Police Forum (CPF),Langeveldt says.The patrols have seen a reduc-
tion in contact crime around thestation, says Kensington policespokesperson Warrant OfficerNtombi Nqunqeka.Langeveldt says reports from the
police indicate there are fewercomplaints of petty crimeandmug-
gings.“We’ve even foiled a few robber-
ies,” he says. “A couple missed thelast train and was being followedby a group of youngsters. Whenthey saw us wearing reflectivevests, they immediately backedoff.”However, says Langeveldt, the
group needs support from moreresidents.
CPF spokesperson Harry Gutasays the organisation encouragesresidents to take ownership oftheir streets.“We’re encouraging residents to
form street committees and neigh-bourhood watches to eliminatecrimes such as drug dealing. How-ever, these groups need to registerwith the CPF and receive trainingas neighbourhood watches.”

@LouNotes
With lyrics about Cape Town suburbsand the use of colloquial terms, in-ternational artist Charl “Babyboy”
Pilwan is celebrating his hometown in hisnew single.While Babyboy was raised in Retreat, hehas spent the past 13 years between Chinaand America, where he works as a perform-er and promoter.He’s worked with some of the industry’sbiggest international acts like Chris Brown,Nelly and Ne-Yo and achieved considerablesuccesswith his ownmusic in countries likeEngland and Portugal, but now the singer isready to come home.Babyboy plans to do this by promoting hismusic locally and creating a fan base, whichwill allow him to work in Cape Town again.

with a vibrant Kaapse Klopse sound thatevoked and brought to life good memoriesof Cape Town”.Babyboy met Die Barheid when the twoperformed together on the CTV show, HipHop Avenue. As soon as they finished film-
ing, he took Die Barheid straight to the stu-dio to let him listen to some of the newmusiche has been working on.“The moment Die Barheid heard Apple
Green Datsun, we both knew that was thetrack I would feature him on.”
Babyboy rates Donveno as a consummateprofessional and says he immediately un-derstood his vision when the two startedworking together.“Onceyouhave experienced thebrillianceof Donveno you understand how he is in-spired by themusic and he came upwith hissax solo on Apple Green Datsun in the mo-ment.”

NEW ALBUM
Homecoming of noteLOUISA STEYL
@LouNotes
Music should move listeners and upliftthe spirit.
This is the opinion of local doubleand electric bass player and composer Ben-jamin Jephta, who aims to do exactly thatwith the Benjamin Jephta Quintet’s debutalbum, Homecoming.
Benjamin recorded the 12-track album atSumo Sound Studios in Johannesburg, whe-re he now lives, but says he tried to hold onto stories from “home”, which for him isMandalay inMitchell’s Plain where he grewup.
Althoughhe’s only 22,Benjaminhasalrea-dy shared the stage with big names like Al-vin Dyers, Jimmy Dludlu, Camillo Lom-bard, Simphiwe Dana, Melanie Scholtz andMi Casa. But Homecoming is a way for thebassist to reconnect with why he chose to bea musician in the first place.
TrendyAfter completing his school career atMui-
zenberg High School, Benjaminmoved on tostudy jazz at the South African College ofMusic at UCT.
He explains that musicians are often
taught about musical concepts and genrealong with what’s “trendy”. For him, thismeant taking on whatever current genrewas considered “hip” and imitating the mu-sicians he looks up to, but in the process,Benjamin says he lost track of the spirit ofhis own music and the essence of what firstinspired him to play.
Musical biographyHomecomingwas born out of the idea that
Benjamin felt he has something to “say”mu-sically. “I also felt that what I was doing wasuniqueand that it had tobedocumented, andan album is a great way of doing that,” hesays.
In order to capture the spark that madehim fall in love with music, Benjamin wan-ted to explore his own history and incorpo-rate it into the sound of the album.
“Having been raised on the Cape Flats inMitchell’s Plain and coming through thechurch, I want to give the listener a musicalbiography ofmy life by using the harmoniesand melodies associated with that upbrin-ging.”
In fact, one of his favourite songs on thealbum is One for the Plein, which he wrotefor his home suburb. “The band always en-joys playing this live, because it has the abi-
lity to go anywhere.”The band Benjamin is referring to inclu-
des Kyle Shepherd (2014 Standard Bank Yo-ung Artist Award winner) on piano, Sphele-lo Mazibuko on drums, Marcus Wyatt ontrumpet and Sisonke Xonti on sax.
Another favourite isHymn for Ada, a songBenjamin wrote for Ada Loff from his localchurch who passed away from cancer. Hesays the song celebrates her life, and likeOne for the Plein, keeps developing.
Ultimately, Benjamin says, the compositi-ons on Homecoming are “quite simple andlyrical”.
“For me the beauty lies in the way eachmusician interpreted the music allowing itto speak into your spirit.”
Keep writingWhile he’s currently promoting the al-
bum, Benjamin hopes to play more showswith the quintet to develop the band’s soundas a collective and, of course, keep writingnew music.Homecoming will be available at African
Music Store and Up Beat Music in CapeTown from mid-February. Fans can alsokeep an eye on www.benjaminjephta.comfor information on when the album will beavailable online and his Cape Town shows.

Local sports stars are giving back to pri-mary schools in the Western Cape in abig way.
At the official launch of the JP21 projectin Mitchell’s Plain, Proteas cricketer JP Du-miny expressed his excitement and passionfor the game and giving back to his commu-nity.
Established in 2014, the project is based ona real commitment in re-igniting the passionand drive for the game of cricket in under-privileged communities and schools.
With the focus on the 54 primary schoolsin Mitchell’s Plain, 30 schools are already
participating in the programme.“This project and what it stands for is
something very close to my heart,” Duminysaid.
“Being someone who has come from thecommunity and having lived in the commu-nity, I understand the need for role modelsin this community and that is why I startedthis project.”
Duminy has funded the project in conjunc-tion with numerous sponsors and also hasbacking from Western Province Cricket.
Nabiel Dien, Amateur Cricket Managerfor Western Province Cricket, thanked andcongratulated Duminy on the official launchof the project.
“Thank you JP for bringing back to the
community,” Dien said in his speech.“I’ve known JP since he was 11-years-old
and I am not surprised at all that at the val-ues he has grown up with and he realiseshow important it is for us to bring back tothe community so that out of Mitchell’sPlain another Protea cricketer can be bornin the distant future.”
Dien also made mention that Duminyhas pledged to sponsor one or two pu-pils from the project to attend theNewlands Cricket School which waslaunched two weeks ago.
President of Western ProvinceCricket, Beresford Williams, sayshe is equally excited about the ini-tiative.
“Congratulations on thisproject and this great initiative.It is a true privilege to be partof this and be involved with you.Everyone knows JP as the iconand on the world stage he isamong the very best in the world,but one thing I have come to knowabout JP is that he is a humbleyoung man and today he is put-ting his work into action, mak-ing a contribution, making aninvestment and giving back and creating op-portunities for other young people,” he said.The project will be aimed at both boys andgirls and schools have already come onboard.
Jamaine Cloete, Natheer Wagner, MarkWille and Amien Kader will run the initia-tive as project coordinators while Duminyis away for work.
Cloete says this will not influence the chil-dren’s results.
“We want this project to serve as a rewardfor hard work,” he says.
Protea cricketers Robin Petersen and Fafdu Plesiss have also pledged their supportin becoming ambassadors for the project.
The core purpose of the project is to im-prove the state of cricket in schools and theyhope to roll the project out to high schoolswithin a few years.
