Anger over problem houseTAURIQ HASSEN

A DERELICT house owned bythe Oasis Asset Manage-

ment Group in Walmer Estatecontinues to cause problems inthe community.

People’s Post reported on the mat-ter, “Broken building bugs resi-dents (30 August)”, highlighting thelarge numbers of unsavoury char-acters lurking inside and outsidethe building, using drugs, theamount of waste being dumped in-side the house and the state of thebuilding.

According to Moosa Sydow,chairperson of the Walmer EstateResidents and Civic Association,the house is now on a list which fea-tures several other derelict proper-ties within Walmer Estate.

The list was been put together byresidents and other role-playerswithin the community, will behanded over to Ward CouncillorBrett Herron, for urgent attention.

“We have identified many dere-lict properties within the area butthis one especially is really bad. Werequire feedback and action, be-cause this has been dragging for along time and not enough is beingdone,” says Sydow.

When People’s Post visited thebuilding recently, a large group ofmen were lurking around suspi-ciously. When they spotted the Peo-ple’s Post vehicle, they moved awayto avoid the photgrapher. Severalpiles of rubbish and building rubblewere found at the entrance of thehouse, with the facade damaged.Window and door frames had beenstripped out.

One resident living close by, whoasked to remain anonymous forsafety reasons, was disgusted thatthe owners had “never attended tothe problems”.

“When you own a piece of land,the least you can do is ensure thatit remains safely secured and clean,but it’s no secret that the house isa complete mess. We residents areexpected to put up with these prob-lemsonadailybasis,while theown-

ers are living a lavish lifestyle intheir fancy homes,” says the resi-dent.

In recent times, the resident hasreported illegal activities, mostlyusage of drugs, to the local authori-ties.

“These is nothing much anybodycan do but wait for the owners to ac-tually decide whether or not theywill use this property for some-thing, but the least they can do isclean up the place and fence it off,”says the resident.

Richard Bosman, Executive Di-rector for Safety and Security forthe City of Cape Town, was awareof the conditions around the prob-lem and confirmed that the ownershad been contacted by City Healthand the Problem Buildings Unit.

“The owners knew about theproblems and wanted to demolishand rebuild the property, but Herit-age Western Cape did not want toapprove their plans,” says Bosman.

He added that the owners wouldonce again be contacted and asked

to board up the building. If the own-ers fail to comply, council willboard it up and bill the owners.

“The Problem Buildings Unit hasinspected this property numeroustimes in the last six months and atno stage were any vagrants encoun-tered. The public have free accessto the property and there is a healthrisk with all the rubbish and hu-man faeces,” Bosman explained.

According to Bosman, under theProblem Buildings By-Law, theowners can be liable to a fine up to

R300 000 or imprisonment for threeyears or both.

People’s Post forwarded a detailedquery through to the Oasis AssetManagement Group, but they failedto respond at the time of going toprint.

Greener, prouder schoolsAS part of the Back to SchoolCampaign, Proudly South Afri-can will feature three membercompanies making a positive dif-ference in education, the lives ofchildren and job creation.

This week, Minieze Taylor, cor-porate social investment managerat greenOFFICE, is featured.

His focus is educating the youthabout environmental responsibili-ty and the positive difference theycan make to their schools and com-munity.

“The greenSCHOOL programmewas launched to get learners, theirparents, teachers and the communi-ty involved in making a positive dif-ference on our planet,” says Taylor.

“The greenSCHOOL programme

is a corporate social investment(CSI) initiative of greenOFFICE,which aims to assist learners in ac-tively participating in recyclingprogrammes, raising funds fortheir school’s green initiatives suchas waste management.”

He says learners collect usedprinter cartridges and take them toschool, where greenOFFICE col-lects them. Some schools have beencollecting for the last five years.

“The funds go to the school, andfor every 100 cartridges collected,greenOFFICE donates a tree to theschool. Over the past year greenOF-FICE has donated more than 30trees to schools nationwide. ThegreenSCHOOL programme is con-stantly educating learners about re-cycling and the benefits.”

greenSCHOOL attends school as-semblies and various school func-tions. “The greenSCHOOL pro-gramme reaches future recyclersand conveys the message of beingsustainable in simple and practicalways,” says Taylor.

“The highlight has been the abili-ty to grow the greenSCHOOL pro-gramme. It has certainly been anachievement for us. The pro-gramme started with only fourschools in 2006 and grew to assistover 55 schools in 2011.”

He says challenge is that the lackof education prevents a lot of peoplefrom recycling properly.

“The greenSCHOOL programmeis constantly educating the commu-nity, to counter a lack of knowledgeand skills. We are slowly but surely

reaching a group of young mindswho will grow up to become the am-bassadors of recycling in theirhomes and communities.”

The greenSCHOOL programmehopes to collect 100 000 cartridges in2012.

“Naturally, we would like to addmore schools to our programmes.Continuing a great relationshipwith current schools is vital to thesuccess of greenSCHOOL, so this isdefinitely a goal for 2012 and be-yond,” says Taylor.

Log municipal concerns onlineCAPETONIANS have a new way ofreporting municipal problems andit happens at the click of a button.

Mobilitate is an online platformthat allows people to register at nocost and to report municipal issuessuch as faulty streetlights or pot-holes by using Google Maps to pin-point the exact location.

Mobilitate notifies the relevantmunicipality and also the wardcouncillor in question.

All the communication and up-dates happen in one place visiblefor everybody to see.

To date, 103 issues have been re-ported in Cape Town, of which 90have been fixed.

According to Mobilitate spokes-person Zelda Potgieter, the City ofCape Town responds to Mobilitateissues quickly and gives feedback

and updates.“It has only been a few months

since Cape Town started to activelyparticipate on Mobilitate and wewant to congratulate them for usingthe function that other metros haveshown interest in but have not yetfully committed to. The City of CapeTown has not just shown interest,it has really risen to the occasion,”said Potgieter.

Mobilitate has also created infra-structure for all 4 277 wards in thecountry, enabling ward council-lors, proportional councillors,ward committees and their constit-uents to participate.

A link to all of the Cape Townward councillors can be found onwww.mobilitate.co.za. People canalso access the site via iPhone andAndroid.

Council’s annual report for 2011THE City of Cape Town’s annualreport for the 2010/2011 financialyeardemonstrates theCity’s com-mitment to making the City evengreater.

The City has taken significantsteps in the right direction andcontinuously strive to deliver thehighest quality services for all ofCape Town’s people.

The vision of the City of CapeTown is threefold:

• To be a prosperous city thatcreates an enabling environmentfor shared economic growth anddevelopment.

• To achieve effective and equi-table service delivery.

• To serve the citizens of CapeTown as a well-governed and ef-fectively run administration.

To achieve this vision, the Citystrives at all times to:

• contribute actively to the de-velopment of Cape Town’s envi-ronmental, humanandsocial cap-ital;

• offer high-quality services toall who live in, do business in, orvisit Cape Town as tourists;

•to be known for its efficient, ef-fective and caring government.

“The City performed well in the2010/11 financial year.

“The City is maintaining its ex-

cellent record of high qualityservice delivery and its reputa-tion as a local authority that re-sponds to the needs of its resi-dents.

“Despite the many challenges,the City has managed its resourc-es in a way that will ensure itscontinued success going for-ward,” said Executive Mayor ofCape Town, Alderman Patricia deLille.

The results of a 2010/11 surveyrevealed that overall perceptionsof the performance of the City ofCape Town have increased signif-icantly, with respondents indicat-ing that services have improvedacross most of the City’s servicedelivery areas.

The City has a dedicated anti-corruption hotline, which may beused to report any instances of al-leged corruption involving Cityofficials.

Any employee or member of thepublic may call the City’s toll-freeanti-corruption hotline on 0800323 130 to report suspected cor-ruption.

Job creation has been a key pri-ority of this administration.Through the Expanded PublicWorks Programme, the City hascreated 13 145 job opportunities.

The City of Cape Town’s commit-ment to employment creation,earned it two prestigious acco-lades at the Kamoso ExcellenceAwards ceremony hosted by theDepartment of Public Works on 7March 2011.

The City took top honours intwo of the four categories.

In the Environment and Cul-ture sector, it won the award forBest Municipal and DistrictProject and Best InnovativeProject.

In February 2011 Green PointPark opened to the public.

The opening of the 12,5 ha park,which forms part of the CapeTown Stadium and Green PointCommon precinct, was the culmi-nation of years of careful plan-ning, construction and planting.

The park offers users extensivewalkways, seating, green areas,water features and ponds, as wellas a walking, cycling and joggingtrack.

Designed in line with interna-tional environmental and ecolog-ical principles, the space includesindigenous landscaping and mul-tipurpose spaces, and features abiodiversity garden showcasingthe original vegetation of the ar-ea.

City apology for rates clearance gremlinsTHE City of Cape Town has apolo-gised to residents for delays in theissuing of rates clearance certifi-cates, which in turn has delayedregistration of property transfers.

On Monday 28 November, theCity implemented a new system forthe processing of, among otherthings, rates clearance applica-tions. The new system will ulti-

mately ensure that applications arehandled more efficiently. However,there were teething troubles, withtechnical problems on the City’sside with the vending systems usedby the attorneys for electronic ratesclearances.

It said most of the backlog willbe eradicated within the next twoweeks.

Minstrels Champs of Champs cancelledTAURIQ HASSEN

ALTHOUGH the minstrel season got offto a good start, organisers now face hav-ing to cancel the prestigious “Champs ofChamps” after discovering that a holyday for Muslims takes place a week be-fore the finals.

This means the competition dates willhave to be rescheduled, but this creates aproblem as the soccer action returns to Ath-lone Stadium on Saturday 18 February.

Moulood takes place on Saturday 4 Febru-ary, which means that the competition willhave to be postponed.

Kevin Momberg, chief executive for theCape Town Minstrel Carnival Association,initially confirmed the new headache lastweek and said: “We are still looking to dis-cuss the matter in detail, but it’s lookingmore likely that the Champs of Champs willhave to be cancelled due to the venue not be-ing available.”

Richard Stemmet, chairperson for the CT-MCA, was not disappointed at the prospectof having the event postponed until next

year, as he felt that respecting the communi-ty’s holy days and events should be the“number one priority”.

“We are now setting up meetings with thedifferent captains and generals in order toinform them about the postponement of theevent, but generally we are happy and willrespect the community,” says Stemmet.

Now confirmed, the final day of the min-strel season will be at the Athlone Stadiumon Saturday 11 February, where events suchas the group songs and exhibition marcheswill be held.Normally, at the end of proceed-ings, the champions are named, with the cov-eted Carnival Trophy being handed to a de-serving troupe, among many other prizes forevents performed over recent weeks.

“That is really what everybody looks for-ward to and we end the minstrel season ona high and look forward to hosting yet anoth-er successful event next year,” Stemmet add-ed.

He confirmed that all teams under the CT-MCA carrying marching permits will be al-lowed to parade their trophies through areassuch as the historic Bo-Kaap area and Len-tegeur in Mitchell’s Plein.

Where does it all end up?HANRIE BOSCH

CIGARETTE BUTTS and cooking oil. Twovery common waste products used anddiscarded every day. But have you everwondered where it all ends up?

Down drains, the beach, the ocean, TableMountain, and just about everywhere else,according to David East, whose company, Or-ganic cleaning, is importing disposable Fat-trap cloths made from organic coconut pith,which soaks up oil and turns it into a solid

for safe disposal.“Landfills are getting smaller, the

seas are getting polluted and the CityCouncil has to clear expensive sewageblockages. Nobody thinks about thesethings and where they end up; pollut-ing our environment.”

East has been in the restaurant in-dustry for 20 years, and admits to be-ing “blind” regarding the proper dis-posal of oil and the consequences of it.

“Once I found out about the harmfuleffects on the environment and whereit goes, I had to make a difference. Peo-ple throw oil down the drain – whichends up in the sewage pipes and findsits way back to the beaches and ocean.The same goes for cigarette butts onbeaches.”

Late last year, the City issued apress release stating that blockedpipes, due to grease, fats and oils, cost

the city R60 million to clear and urgedresidents to properly dispose of oil us-

ing a licensedwaste contrac-tor.

Most peopleare blissfullyunaware thatthrowing oildown the kitch-en sink is not“proper dispos-al”.

Once Eastsaw the light, hestarted a compa-ny called Fat-trap, two and ahalf years ago,making Atlan-tic Seaboardrestaurantsaware of how toproperly dis-pose of oil.

His company,Organic clean-ing, is import-ing disposableFattrap clothsthat soak up oil.That way it will not end upin the oceans.

But his environmental passion does notstop there. As an avid beach goer at Clifton,East realised how cigarette butts litters thebeaches, barely below the surface. It takesEast and a few friends less than 15 minutesto fill a two litre bottle with butts.

“Cape Town wants to establish itself as agreen city, and Capetonians are obsessedwith the environment but smokers seem tothink that cigarette butts are not harmful tothe environment.”

East is trying to get a pilot project off theground on Clifton by handing out plastictubes on the beaches, in which to put ciga-rette butts, and hopes to have central collec-tion points at the entrances to beaches, wherethe re-usable tubes will be emptied and thebutts collected for recycling.

Ward councillor for the Atlantic Sea BoardBeverley Schaffer welcomes the project, andsays talks should soon start to have theproject up and running for next seasons’ busybeach periods.

But smokers and those with an affinity forfried foods need not wait till the the pilotprojects are rolled out to make a differenceby simply putting butts in a can on the beachand soaking up oil with Fattrap cloths.

Designing Cape Town’s futureMAYOR Patricia de Lille has announcedthe formation of a multi-sectoral taskteam for the signingof theHostCity agree-ment for the World Design Capital 2014 inMarch later this year.

This status is designated biennially bythe International Council of Societies ofIndustrial Design (ICSID) to cities that arededicated to using design for social, cul-tural and economic development.

Cape Town was last year awarded theright to host World Design Capital 2014.It will now be the focus point of the inter-national design community in 2014, withdesign-related projects and events hostedin the city throughout the year. The Citywill be the main signatory of the Host CityAgreement.

This comes with certain financial andmanagerial obligations. The City will playa lead role in the hosting of World DesignCapital, together with key stakeholderssuch as Cape Town Partnership and thedesign community who played an impor-tant role in securing the award, as well asother private sector partners.

Said De Lille: “Bid Committee membershave been invited to form the core of themulti-sectoral task team. With their sup-port, we want to make sure the most effi-cient and optimum management struc-ture is put in place, to ensure proper over-

sight of how ratepayers’ money is spenton this prestigious event.

“I want to pay tribute to the months ofhard work and selfless effort put in by An-drew Boraine, Bulelwa Makalima-Ngewa-na and the team at Cape Town Partner-ship and the Bid Committee. They helpedus win the right to host this event, and Ilook forward to having them on board, aspart of the multi-sectoral task team.

“As a team we have much hard workahead of us in hosting such a prestigiousevent,” she said.

Resident Sfiso Enock is also excited, es-pecially about the economic implicationsof such a designation.

“This title will mean that Cape Townand South Africa will be firmly en-trenched as an international travel desti-nation. And it will open up a lot of doorsfor all of our talented designers.”

Tomorrow, City representatives willmeet with the Bid Committee to discussthe key managerial steps to be put inplace.

An inclusive stakeholder forum will beheld in late February to coincide with theDesign Indaba. This will be an opportuni-ty for design industry role-players andother interested stakeholders to contrib-ute ideas to make the World Design Capi-tal 2014 a success.

The right wayACCESS and the right to education should behonoured and respected.

Last year Cape Peninsula University ofTechnology (CPUT) students protested andagain this year.

Both protests were marred by violent inci-dents, with looting the institution’s cafeteriamaking the news in 2011 and pelting stonesat security last week sparking reaction fromCPUT management.

When violence and destructive behaviourovershadow what may constitute a noble mo-tivation behind a demonstration, sympathyand empathy dissipate.

Yes, the students have a sound reason forprotesting, but the manner in which theyhave, is unacceptable in civilised society; andhas courted nothing but disastrous conse-quences for them.

Some of the protesters have been barredfrom registration, while others were evictedfrom residence.

Criminal complaints were filed against stu-dents for the stone throwing.

The protesters were opposed to the hike inregistration fees.

Yesterday, CPUT published an ad in the lo-cal press, explaining its fees’ increase. It stat-ed: “Council was aware that not all studentswould be able to afford the upfront paymentand created a safety net by asking the CPUTmanagement to negotiate and accommodateas far as possible, those students who havedifficulty in raising the upfront payment.”

CPUT management and student leadershipmet on 12 January about concerns around thefees increase, with management willing tocontinue discussions with students.

Education is pivotal to creating a better lifeand future for oneself and generations tocome and more so, for those previously mar-ginalised.

It is indeed a sad day when the importanceof education is undermined by selfish behav-iour, more suited to criminals than the coun-try’s future captains of industry.

Is this really the Cape of envy?DOES anyone get the feeling that people upnorth don’t like Cape Town? What with thetoll roads, the ocean liner docking debacle,and them telling us there’s no problem withgangs on the Cape Flats.

With these and many other seemingly pet-ty or vindictive issues, government is show-ing its true colours.

I suggest they concentrate on sorting outthe 80percent of the country thatneeds atten-tion, and leave our successful province toprosper and achieve the great things des-tined for it.

After all, we’re supposed to be one country,

all of us.The continued success of our province

should be recognized and praised by govern-ment and the ANC.

We are all South Africans regardless of theparty we choose or the province we comefrom. To ignore, sabotage or downplay oneof your children’s success stories is un-healthy and serves only to alienate this beau-tiful Province from the rest of the country.

Keep it up at your own peril, because thecountry of “Cape Hope” is sounding betterand better to me!C.HARRISON

Learn to respect all road usersTHE Cape Argus Pick ‘n Pay Cycle Tour isthe largest timed cycling event in the world,and it attracts in excess of 35 000 cyclists fromall over the world each year.

Undoubtedly, this event is definitely aunique experience for participants and spec-tators alike, but I hasten to mention the law-lessness on our roads in respect of road hogsand speedsters, who disrespect cyclists pre-paring for the Cycle Tour.

Such was the case for a cyclist on a practicesession at about 05:45 on Wetton Road, Ken-wyn, who was struck by a hit-and-run motor-ist, who ploughed into him causing superfi-cial injuries and irreparable damage to hisracing bike.

Eyewitnesses from the nearby petrol sta-tion failed to get the irresponsible driver’s

vehicle registration number, because theyclaim that he or she was “flying” down thequiet road at break-neck speed, hitting thecyclist who was legally positioned on theedge of the road demarcated for cyclists.

The vehicle, a dark 4x4 SUV, slammed intothe cyclist leaving behind the only piece ofevidence - a side mirror.

It ismiraculous thathe survived the tragichit-and-run incident.

I implore motorists to be more respectfultowards cyclists in general, and warn cy-clists to take extra precaution as you preparefor the most scenic 109 km cycle tour in theworld.

Yours truly,MARK KLEINSCHMIDTKenwyn

The Lord only responds to faithI WOULD like to comment on what PatrickAbrahams wrote (People’s Post, 17 Janu-ary). Clearly he has no clue what the biblesays.

God says in Exodus 20:1: “For I am theLord your God who brought you out ofEgypt and out of the land of slavery.Youwill not have any other gods before me”.The problem with people are that they’rescared of confrontation.

There are many religions in the worldbut we don't all serve the same God. All oth-er religions acknowledge Jesus Christ,

even Islam, but they don't recognise Jesusas the “Son of God”. Well, my Bible saysthat He is, so how can we all serve the sameGod when the rest don't believe in His Son,Jesus Christ. As far as good luck goes, Goddoesn’t need luck to do anything and Chris-tians shouldn’t either.

The Lord my God only responds tofaith.You need to get the facts straight be-cause what you are saying is misleadingand many gullible people might agree withyou.TIMOTHY VAN ROOYEN

The ignorance of religionTHE comments in the most recent People’sPost show a remarkable ignorance of reli-gion.

For example, we have the claim that youneed to believe in god to become better,morally and spiritually.

“Spiritually” makes no sense as there isinsufficient evidence to support the idea ofa spirit.

Morally, however, we know that the op-posite holds true.

The less religious a society, thebetter thelevels of education, protection of humanrights and the lower the levels of violenceand prejudice.

Then we have quotes supposedly show-ing how the Qur’an condemns violence.Contrary to “explicitly” condemning it,not one of the quoted paragraphs says athing about violence.

They stress justice, or at least the Mus-lim notion of justice, which, if you look atthe Islamic countries, does not resembleany acceptable version of justice andequality.

To claim that the Qur’an doesn’t advo-cate violence on the innocent is demonstra-bly false.

Chapter 4 Verse 89: “They but wish thatye should reject Faith, as they do, and thusbe on the same footing (as they): But takenot friends from their ranks until they fleein the way of God (from what is forbidden).But if they turn renegades, seize them andslay them wherever ye find them; and (inany case) take no friends or helpers fromtheir ranks.”

Chap 8 Verse 12: “I will instil terror intothe hearts of the Unbelievers: Smite yeabove their necks and smite all their fin-ger-tips off them.”

In the Hadith, there are accounts of Mo-hammed saying that a night-time attack onpagans was acceptable even if it exposestheir women and children to danger. Otherverses say it would be fine to kill a childif you could tell whether they would growup to be a Muslim or not.

All you need to do is look around theworld to see that greater levels of religionare correlated with significantly worse-offsocieties and you only need to read the reli-gious texts to find verses extolling the vir-tues of violence, sexism and prejudice.JASON BOSCHRondebosch

Sax legendremembered

GARY VAN DYK

THE musical legacy of saxman Winston Mankunku Ngo-zi comes to life on Sunday 29January.

Music lovers will gathern atWest End in College Road, Ry-lands, for Yahkal’ Inkomo, a tri-bute to the pioneering saxopho-nist who died in 2009.

While Yahkal’ Inkomo (the bel-lowing bull) refers to the 1968 re-cording by the sax man, recoun-ting the slaughter of a cow. Theother cattle in the kraal look onand cry for their kind. The bullsbellow in anguish and despair.

The bellow of anguish fromMankunku was inspired by histreatment during the apartheidyears, when he had to play be-hind a screen in the City Hall,while a white man billed as Win-ston Mann mimed the saxopho-ne parts on stage, because thewhite authorities found it unac-ceptable that black musiciansshould be acknowledged as capa-ble of playing such “sophistica-ted” music.

Metaphorically, they wereslaughtering black jazz musici-ans. Mankunku fell into despair.When he eventually recoveredhe released the album which stillremains a milestone in the histo-ry of South African music. Thesong became an anthem for jazzmusicians and jazz lovers.

Yakhal’ Inkomo has become one of thebiggest selling jazz albums of all time inSouth Africa. It was recorded with theEarly Mabuza Trio featuring Mabuza, thelegendary drummer, bassist AgrippaMagwaza, and pianist Lionel Pillay. Therecording has become one of the all-timeclassic South African jazz albums, re-rele-ased in 1975, 1985 and 1989, and since 1996available on CD.

At West End that legacy will be celebra-ted when sax men Barney Rachabane,Khaya Mahlungu and Mark Fransman il-

lustrate just how far we have come becau-se of that bellowing bull. Each sax playerwill be playing two songs of their choiceand for the finale all three will join forcesin a mega celebration of Mankunku’s le-gacy. Featuring with them will be GeorgeWerner on piano, Errol Dyers on guitar,Spencer Mbadu on bass, Victor Kula onsax and Ivan Bell on drums.

The concert is sponsored by KWV 10-ye-ar-old Brandy. Doors open at 17:00 ticketsare R60 at the door. Further informationfrom 021 637 9132.

Jazz singer spreads wingsGARY VAN DYK

JAZZ singer Wathiq Hoosain is on a jour-ney to stages across the world.

On Tuesday 31 January he will hold hislast concert on home soil before leaving forNorway, which he sees as a stepping stoneto an international career.

It has been a long journey from singingin musicals and the choir at primaryschool, fronting the National Youth Bandat Grahamstown for a few years, and eventaking at chance with Pop Idols.

Originally from Rylands in Athlone whe-re he went to Turfhall Primary School, thejazz bug bit when he joined an extra-muralactivity at school.

“I began singing in primary school. Aspart of the choir and singing in schoolplays, my life changed when they startedTurfjamp,” he says.

“The programme was for young aspiringjazz musicians from all schools in CapeTown, founded by the late Hotep Galeta inpartnership with the school.

“During this time the band was led byShannon Mowday before the SekunjaloFestival at the Baxter and The National Yo-uth Jazz Festival in Grahamstown. We for-med a school band with members from thejazz programme at Muizenberg High andBishops, first performing at the Baxter andthen Grahamstown.

“That festival made up my mind. I wasat a meeting point for young people intere-sted in jazz. I met many musicians from allover the world and experienced music ofan international standard. I was hooked!

“More proof that I had to be a singer wasthat I got the vocalist spot with the nationalband for five years in a row.”

Wathiq attended Muizenberg HighSchool before he was offered a scholarshipto Westerford High. While at UCT in 2009he was accepted into the exchange pro-gramme at the Norwegian Academy of Mu-sic for one year.

“I studied jazz performance with two ofNorway´s leading singers, Guro GravemJohansen and Live Maria Røggen. It wasincredible living in Oslo, being able to ex-perience a music scene so different to whatI was used to.

“Upon my return to South Africa I knew

that I wanted to go back.“This will be happening in February be-

cause I have been accepted to do an intern-ship through a music company in Oslo. Iwill work with a vocal ensemble as both asinger andarranger. I haveplans to rekind-le my European quartet formed during myprevious stay.

“Apart from this, I have developed greatfriendships with many people in Oslo andI cannot wait to return.”

Last year he entered Pop Idols.“I decided to audition for Idols on the

spur of the moment after being urged to doit for so long. I went there with no expecta-tions. I had nothing to lose and wanted tojump out of my comfort zone.

“Bearing in mind that singing pop is notmy strongest point as a singer, I progressedfurther than I had expected.

“Comments were mostly based on thefact that my vocal sound was different. Ga-reth Cliff thought I sounded like I couldsing on Glee and Danny K thought I shouldrather be singing in musicals.

“Idols is perfect for pop singers as younever know who may be watching and ma-ny people find successful careers as artistswithout winning reality shows. It´s a com-bination of self-drive, commitment and abit of luck.”

Wathiq said he was continuing his stu-dies in Norway.

“I have applied to the Norwegian Acade-my of Music to do third and fourth year ofa European Bachelors degree starting inAugust.

“My current goals are to finish my stu-dies in Oslo and set myself up as an artistbefore returning to South Africa. I’m a no-mad so I want to travel and learn from vari-ous places, gaining experience and collec-ting musical ideas.”

On Tuesday Wathiq can be heard from19:00 with Nick Williams (piano), Benja-min Jeptha (bass) and Claude Cozens(drums) at the Noel Taylor Hall at Wester-ford High in Newlands.

The venue is renamed The Jazz Cafe forthe event and tickets are R100, which inclu-des a two-course dinner.

For bookings, call 072 500 3951 or 083 2355977 or email jazzcafebookings@ya-hoo.com.

Children’s concert a successTHE GRAND ARENA’S Love Our Childrenconcert – with Dr Victor and the RastaRebels, the top three Idols finalists andKurtSchoonraad –was an overwhelming suc-cess for children’s charities in the city.

During the concert, Grand West CSI pre-sented Mayor Patricia de Lille with acheque for R500 000 for her Mayoral Special

Fund.This money will be used to help t he organi-

sations and individuals who care for abusedand abandoned people and the homeless.

GrandWest CSI also said it will be contrib-uting R4,2 million to its bursary fund andUniversity of Cape Town’s (UCT’s) Shawcohealth project.

In step for a good causeDANCE for All last month made thedancefloor sizzle at their unique “Chanceto Dance” fund-raiser.

Celebs came together for a dance-off inthe style of the popular TV show, StrictlyCome Dancing. They were partnered byprofessional Latin and ballroom dancers,and guests voted by placing amounts of

money on the couple they thought shouldwin. The couple who won over the judgeswith their charm, skill, appearance andcostumes and who raised the most moneywas the winning duo of Keeno-Lee Hectorand Terri Taylor.

They soon showed what they weremade of.

SA ballroom champ off to ItalyLIAM MOSES

A HEATHFIELD woman willfulfil the dream of a lifetimenext month when she travelsto Italy to train for and com-pete in major internationalballroom events.

Stephanie van der Poll, 21, hasbeen competing in ballroomdancing events since she was 11and last year she reached theapex of local competition circuitwhen she claimed both the West-ern Province and South Africanchampionships.

Van der Poll says her reasonfor moving to Italy, on Wednes-day 1 February, is to improve thestandard of her own dancing, aswell as the standard of dancingin South Africa.

“I’m going to be living andtraining in Italy because thecoaches are amazing comparedto those in South Africa. Thequality of dancing in Italy isamazing,” she said.

“South African ballroom danc-ing isn’t considered to be verygood because of how lazy ourdancers can be. We want tochange this international view ofSouth Africa dancing and im-prove the standard and quality.We want to come back and beable to help young dancers.”

During her time in Europe,Van der Poll and her Italian part-ner will compete in tournamentsin Italy, Russia, Spain, Germanyand other countries across thecontinent.

Besides her provincial and na-tional victories last year, Vander Poll also has several othermajor achievements to her

name.In 2009, the University of the

Western Cape dietetics studentclaimed third place in the nation-al championships and in 2010 shewent one better and claimed sec-ond.

However, she has not alwayshad it her own way. She was pre-vented from competing in theWorld Championships last yearafter her partner chose to give updancing and focus on his studies.

She only found her currentpartner, Italian Ezio Mattioli, inJune last year, and they went in-to National Championships withonly 20 days of practice undertheir belts.

Thus far, Van der Poll’s ex-penses have been covered by herparents and her partner’s par-ents, but she is in desperate needof sponsorship to fund her com-petition and training in Italy.

Van der Poll says finding spon-sorship will be beneficial to hercareer, other South Africandancers and the sponsor as well.

“I feel that we deserve sponsor-ship because we are willing toput in so much time. I’m puttingmy studies on hold because Iknow we have an opportunity toimprove the status of South Afri-can dancers oversees,” said Vander Poll.

“Dancing is very big in Eu-rope. They have channels dedi-cated completely to dancing.Whatever sponsorweget,wewillbe putting their name out in theinterviews.

“Any publicity we get they willget.”

Anyone interested in helpingVan der Poll can contact her atstephanie.vdpoll@gmail.com.

Stormers’ youngsters run riot in WellingtonLIAM MOSES

THE Western Cape has long been consid-ered to be one of the most prolific produc-ers of talented rugby players in South Afri-ca, and one of the most prolific in theworld.

And this belief was proven again on Satur-day, when a youthful Stormers team brushedaside the Boland Kavaliers in their firstwarm-up game of the 2012 Super Rugbyseason.

The Stormers went into the match withoutthe services of experienced players such An-

dries Bekker, SchalkBurger, Bryan Haba-na, Duane Vermeu-len, Gio Aplon or anyof the regulars wholed the team to victo-ry in the South Afri-can conference of the2011 Super Rugbycampaign.

However, despitethe absence of somany first choiceplayers, Alister Co-etzee’s charges stillmanaged to run inseven tries and winthe match 45-17.

The match may on-ly have been a friend-ly, but the compre-hensive victory willhelp to allay fearsthat the team couldbe short on depth inkey positions for thiscoming season.

Bolla Conradie,who last played forthe Stormers in 2010,proved a steadyinghand at scrumhalfand will be an ade-quate replacementfor first-choicescrumhalf DewaltDuvenhage in case ofan enforced lay-off.

New signings Bur-ton Francis, JP duPlessis and Gerhard

van den Heever also performed well and couldfeature regularly this season.

Francis, a former Blue Bulls player who wassigned from the Lions, provides much neededcover at fly-half, a position where the Storm-ers have been short-staffed and injury-hit,while Du Plessis, who returned to South Afri-ca after a spell in Australia playing both Rug-by Union and Rugby League, will lessen theimpact made by the departures of centres Jo-hannSadie (BlueBulls) andJacqueFourie (Ja-pan), and Van den Heever, signed from theBlue Bulls, provides Coetzee with an excellentoption at fullback or on either wing.

The side’s other two off-season signings, JoePietersen and Deon Carstens, who both re-turned to South Africa after plying their tradeabroad, did not take part in the game.

The speedy development of youngsters atthe union has swelled the Stormers’ forward

ranks.Props Frans Malherbe and Steven Kitshoff

could see significant game time this season,while the team’s established lock partnershipof Rynhard Elstadt and Andries Bekker willhave to fight to stave off the challenge of QuinnRoux and Eben Etzebeth, and the presence Ni-zaam Carr, Yaya Hartzenberg, Siya Kolisi, NicKoster, Nick Fenton-Wells and Rueben Johan-nes will ease the team’s passage into life with-out Springbok flank Francois Louw, who leftfor English club Bath at the end of last season.

Coetzee will know that, despite winning theCurrie Cup First Division in 2011, Boland area world away from the quality they will faceevery week in Super Rugby.

The Stormers will face stiffer oppositionthis week, when they clash with 2011 CurrieCup champions the Lions at Newlands on Fri-day.

FUTURE STAR: Steven Kitshoff listens to advice from Stormers hookerTiaan Liebenberg. Kitshoff is one of the many talented youngsters inthe Stormers squad who could come to the fore this season.
