LAILA MAJIET

THE new MyCiTi route from Cape Townto Salt River will begin operating on 23November.

However, taxi drivers operating on thisroute are up in arms as they say they werenot properly consulted about the bus service.Taxi driverMogamat SalighHendricks be-

lieves taxis are doing a sterling job in trans-portingpassengers and shouldbe subsidised.“Government should subsidise the taxi in-

dustry, traindrivers andbetter equip the tax-is to transport passengers,” he says.However, people living in and around Salt

River have pledged their overwhelming sup-port for the service as they say buses stoppedoperating in the area in the 1970s.WalmerEstate residentswhowereat an in-

formation session, held at the Garden CourtHoliday Inn last week, say the buses willbring them much relief as they either walkto the city centre or sometimeswait forhourson end for a taxi to fill up.The new Salt River-Walmer Estate-Civic

Centre route will make use of Coronationand Chester Road and will also connect withthe Salt River train station in order to inte-grate all modes of public transport.GwenKruger (57) fromWalmerEstate says

it will be an absolute pleasure to not besquashed in a taxi, especially when shecomes home with parcels after shopping.“I hope the buses will arrive and leave as

scheduled and that it won’t be as congestedas the taxis. I always took the bus until itstopped operating here,” she says.“I now take the taxi and am sometimes

forced to walk when the taxis take too longto fill up. Another positive is that the bus willtake us right to the Civic Centre where we goto pay our rates.”Taxi drivers counter this saying they drop

and fetch commuters where it is convenientfor passengers.Hendricks says they are forced to wait for

their taxis to fill up.Adnaan Viljoen, who has been driving the

Cape Town-Salt River route for the last 15

years, says evenhe gets tired ofwaiting some-times.The new nine-metre MyCiTi buses to be

usedon the routewill also accommodate bicy-cles and wheelchairs. The bus also accommo-dates 25 people sitting and 25 people standing,and is fitted with five cameras.Spencer Forbes (51) says he looks forward

to a more organised public transport methodas thebuses are scheduled to arrive at regularintervals. “The taxis are unreliable. My eld-erly mother also can’t climb into a taxi as itis toohighunlike theMyCiTibuseswhicharelower and able to accommodate the elderly,”Forbes says.Officials from the City of Cape Town are

currently weighing up their options in termsof road infrastructure and the necessary

changes which would have to be made beforethe buses operate on Walmer Estate’ s hillyterrain.Krishna Naidoo from the Integrated Rapid

Transport System’s implementation depart-ment says theywill either do awaywith park-ing on Coronation and Chester Roads andkeep two-way traffic or keep street parking,make Coronation an outbound road, Chesterroad an inbound road and allow both roadsto only accommodate one-way traffic.Forbes, who lives at the corner of Mel-

bourne Road which intersects with Corona-tion Road, says he would prefer option one.Andrew Swanepoel, the principal profes-

sional officer for the IRT planning and designteam, sayswhile it is up to thepublic to decidewhich option theywould prefer, themost via-

ble solution needs to be implemented.Naidoo says option one is the preferred

choice, but if the public provides valid rea-sonswhy theyoppose this route, theywill runwith option two and monitor the situation.ShariefAllie owns a general dealer store on

Coronation Road and welcomes the proposedroute. “I think one-way traffic is themost via-ble option,” he says.A flat ratewill be charged untilMarch 2013,

thereafter a distance-based fare will be used.For single trips from 0km to 5km, it will

cost R4.80 during peak hour and R4.00 duringoff peak hours. For single trips from 5km to10km it will cost R5.60 during peak hour andR4.60 during off peak hours.However, discounts are available for pen-

sioners and on weekly and monthly tickets.

MyCiTi bus roll­out fever

ABOARD: Those atlast week’s informa-tion session hoppedon the new nine-me-tre bus and said itwould be nice to nothave to share a seat.

I AM one of those who believe if we usetechnology smartly it can solve just aboutall our problems, but there is the increas-ing danger of technology fatigue.This condition occurs when technology

changes so fast that ordinary mortalscan’t keep up.We are bombardedwith dig-ital innovations, applications and infor-mation to the point where the mindnumbs. Just when we have mastered oneskill, new software comes along to makeit obsolete and then we have to start allover again.My first computer was a

1980 pre-Apple Radio ShackTSR 80 and, as far as I’m con-cerned, there have been onlythree real improvementssince then.One was spell check, then

came email and the internetand, of course, ever increas-ing amounts of memory.All the rest has been mar-

keting. Innovation for thesake of innovation, makingeverything more complicat-ed while pretending to make it simpler.Even the basic laptop is nowsopowerful

it is a rare individual who uses more thanone or two percent of its capacity.It does offer usknowledge on tap, but the

problem is that this incredible communi-cation device is now polluted with junkmail and pornwhile legions of crooks has-sle us with their lies about lottery wins,inheritances and fake communicationsfrom banks.Cellphones are even worse. They live in

your pocket and interrupt your life, in-vade your privacy and shower you withstreams of emails and unwanted informa-tion. They conspirewith your computer tokeep you tethered to the web and withyour TV to bring you cricket scores, shareprices and even soap operas while trying

to hook you up with an ambitious youngsocial networker looking for love andmoney – but not in that order.At home, the “entertainment centre” is

a confusing digital jungle with a frighten-ing choice of LCD, LED, Plasma, HD and3D technology aswell as recordingdevicesthat empower you to stop the world for 20minutes and restart it when the inconsid-erate visitors have finally got themessageand departed.It’s all quite brilliant, but what, in heav-

en’s name, is the point ofwatching in glorious highdefinition an endless streamof repeating reality pro-grammes, cooking demon-strations, crocodiles, sharksand engaginghooligans abus-ing cars and destroying prop-erty? So the technical bril-liance makes junk TV worseand not better.I mention all this because

scientists in California(where else?) have discov-ered that when rats have a

new experience, like exploring an unfa-miliar area, their brains show new pat-terns of activity.But only when the rats take a break

from their exploration do they processthose patterns in a way that creates amemory of the experience.In other words, they need to stop seeing

and doing to learn.The researchers now suspect the same

thing is happening to humans.Unless we get down-time from the tech-

nological bombardment, informationoverload and the non-stop distractions ofthe digital world we, like the rats, willlearn nothing. In fact, we might even un-learn some of the basics in exactly thesame way as we unlearned mental arith-metic when calculators came along.

Dear reader,

We’re spoilt for news,with twoArmstrongsdominating the headlines.Neil Armstrong, whowith fellow astronaut

Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin Junior became the firstman to set foot on the moon in 1969, has diedat age 82.Neil’s first words on stepping

on the lunar surface, were:“That’s one small step for man,one giant leap for mankind” – apowerful message, apt for the20th century’s most amazingfeat and one that will resonateas testimony to man’s ability.The other Armstrong in the

news is fallen cycling iconLance whose career has taken agigantic step back as he nowfacesbeing strippedofhis sevenTour de France titles.Without pointing fingers, one

wonders just how many ath-letes use performance-enhancing drugs.The muscle mass on competitors in the re-

cent Olympic Games was painful to look at,especially on some of the women athletes. Iascribed it to disciplined, rigorous trainingandhighprotein intake,while finding it high-ly unnatural.On the assumption that most – if not all –

athletes use steroids, would that not thenequal the playing field, give everyone thesame advantage? To start with, you’d have tobe excellent at your given sport; whether nat-urally inclined or as a result of years of train-ing.Don’t getmewrong; I’mnot endorsing drug

use in anyway,merely considering all the an-gles.Though no relation to the Armstrongs, but

also getting generousmedia attention close to

home, is the hippopotamus who abscondedfrom Rondevlei Nature Reserve two weeksago. The latest news is that the young hippo,who can naturally lay claim to mass, albeitfat, has been spotted helping himself to a bitof lawn in Zeekoevlei.(I nearly ended up editing the above para-

graph out when a colleague stepped into myoffice to ask me whether I’dheard that the hippo haddrowned – thankfully not true).I digress... What are the

chances of looking out of yourwindow in suburban CapeTown to see a hippo grazing inyour garden?All very dramatic and excit-

ing, but disgusting is the factthat the young hippo escapedfrom the reservewith hismoth-er and sibling because the fenc-ing that keeps them safely en-closed had been stolen.I’m anti-violence but in this

instance wish the thieves had gotten theirsfrom the hippo family.On a positive note, along with some of our

readers, People’s Post created its own specialmemories when we took close to 80 of our fe-male readers and colleagues on a women’souting this week.The weather played along as we enjoyed a

tour aboard City Sightseeing buses; throughthe city, District Six and Bo-Kaap, endingwith a cable car trip.Thank you to all the women who made the

day unforgettable.’Til next time, go well!ConnectED is a weekly column by Peo-

Protesters breakmarching rulesTAURIQ HASSEN

THEmass action staged bythe African National Con-gress Youth League (AN-CYL) violated two of theconditions stipulated intheir approved applica-tion yesterday.

Almost 10 000 protesterswere meant to marchthrough the streets of CapeTown in order to hand overa memorandum to the officeof the Premier at the Provin-cial Legislature in WaleStreet.

The ANCYL and its allieswere protesting against thelack of services to poorercommunities and the proposed closure of 27schools in the province.

They were also calling for the proposedyouth wage subsidy to be scrapped.

Mayor Patricia de Lille clarifies that thegroup was meant to gather in KeizergrachtStreet at 11:00, move along Darling Street, leftinto Adderley Street and then to the provin-cial building in Wale Street.

However, approximately 3 000 protestersgathered at the Salt River Station andmarched through Woodstock, with around2 000 protesters joining the group after 12:00in Keizergracht Street.

He adds that the protesters also did not ad-here to the time frames stipulated in the ap-plication and delayed the start of theirmarch.

De Lille says: “I view the ANCYL’s flagrantdisregard of the stipulations set out in themarch approval in terms of the GatheringsAct as a grave disappointment.”

Protesters gathered outside the ProvincialLegislature, guarded by police officers in fullriot gear, in order to hand over their memo-randum.

A row of policemen wielding shields, hel-mets and crowd control equipment blockedthe legislature doors. A police helicopter hov-ered overhead, and five police vans wereparked alongside the legislature. One of them

contained extra bullet-proof vests.The City advised business people to lock up

their stores if trouble occurred.Business owners feared the worst, but tem-

porarily shut up shop when angry protesterspassed their stores.

One shop owner, Igshaan Ajam, was de-lighted that the protesters tempers were keptunder wraps and was even more relieved tosee a large police presence.

He says: “What happened in the CBD dur-ing the last major march is still lingering inour minds and we surely did not want a re-peat of those violent events.”

Sergeant Hilton Malila, spokesperson forthe Woodstock Police Station, confirms thatno incidents of violence were reported and of-ficers at the station was deployed at the firstmeeting point, Salt River station.

He says: “We were present when membersfirst started marching and saw no violent ac-tivities taking place and no cases wereopened at the station.”

The youth league plans to stage a march onthe 27th of each month, until their demandsare met.

De Lille adds: “The City respects the rightsof residents to demonstrate, but appeals to allthose who wish to participate to please do sowithin the boundaries of the law to ensurethe safety of all residents.”

OVERSENSITIVE: Zakhir Cassimthinks people shouldn’t take life tooseriously. “Comedians are there tomake people laugh. You take offenceif you don’t have a sense of humour.”

HAVE RESPECT: Taylor Reynoldsfeels our history makes race topical.“People shouldn’t always get offend-ed, but people should also be kindwith their jokes.”

INSPIRE: Nelson Banderson says ra-cial jokes shouldn’t be made if theyare not going to do good. Anythingpeople say should be to encourage,he insists. “We should uplift one an-other, not make a joke out of them.”

SELF-CONFIDENT: Michal Bar feelsracial jokes are part of the comedyact and there shouldn’t be a problemas long as the comedians don’t takethe joke too far. “If you are proud ofwho you are, nothingwill offend you.”

SOUTH Africans have theability to laugh at them-selves, but race may be atouchy subject for many inthe wake of the legacy ofapartheid.

Local comedians tend tomake reference to or use ra-cial comments in their shows,but is it in bad taste?People’s Post interns Luzu-

PLANS are afoot to subdue the number ofhomeless people sleeping and loitering atthe Good Hope Centre.

Blankets, clothes, boxes andmakeshift potslitter the outside of the building, while va-grants – presumably the owners of the hum-ble items – loiter off Strand Street.Ward councillor Dave Bryant suspects the

street people have moved down from Zonne-bloem and Woodstock.He says the centre “falls in a grey area” in

terms of ward boundaries.“However, there is a move to create a Cen-

tral City Improvement District in the LowerGardens area as the area is not covered byMetrocity or any of the neighbourhoodwatches,” he explains.“There has been an increase in vagrancy

as they come to the city for assistance.”Social workers and field workers from The

Haven Night Shelter do visit the vagrants,but “there are not enough of them”, Bryantcontinues.He says he has apportioned funds from his

ward allocation budget to finance two extrafieldworkerpositions forUpperTableValley,Vredehoek, Higgovale, Tamboerskloof, Bo-Kaap and De Waal.“There is always an increase in vagrancy

in winter when the homeless congregate un-der bridges to keepwarm,” Bryant says. “TheCity takes a soft approach in winter as longas they are not infringing any bylaws likemaking fires or putting up shelters. Their fin-gerprints are checked regularly tomake surethere are no illegal people or wanted crimi-nals among them.”Allan Nelly arrived in Cape Town from

Port Elizabeth six years ago in the hope oflanding a job.For the past two years he has been sleeping

under one of the pillars at theGoodHopeCen-tre.Surviving on the streets is tough, he says.“I have no place to go. I try and live at any

open spot I find.”Hassan Khan, the CEO of The Haven Night

Shelter, says the non-profit organisation hasfield workers in the area who interact withstreet people around the Good Hope Centre,under the on ramp of the N2 behind the GoodHopeCentre, under theN2overpass at the cir-cle of Chapel and Russell streets, on the fieldbehind Ummah Close and Cape PeninsulaUniversity of Technology and around theMuir Street mosque.“An increase in the homeless population in

this area is the consequence of their beingsqueezed out of the spaces actively patrolledby the security staff of the Improvement Dis-tricts, police, Metro Police and Law Enforce-ment,” Khan says. “Many of the homelesswere displaced by these agencies from underthe bridges along the harbour and from theBRT lanes. The improvement districts alsodeploy fieldworkers and assist homeless peo-ple to get off the street in collaboration withthe assessment centres and shelters.”In some cases, Khan adds, the CCID funds

transport home or provides a lift to The Ha-ven Shelter. “It is unfortunate that the home-less choose to avoid the assessment centresand shelters when confronted by the law en-forcement agencies and end up in the neigh-bouring residential areas. It is our hope thata combination of push (laying down the law)andpull (fieldworkers)will havemorepeoplechoosing to come off the street instead of find-ing an unpatrolled area to make a home onthe streets.”Freddie Prince, the director of the City’s

Strategic Assets, Tourism, Events and Mar-keting Directorate, says council has receivedcomplaints after events.“The vagrants or displaced people who are

in the immediate vicinity of the building areescorted or requested to move away by secu-rity. They seldom return after an event,” hesays.Law enforcement agencies such as theMet-

ro Police, Law Enforcement, police and Cen-tral City Improvement District officials areinformed and they conduct regular patrols toensure people are not loitering, he adds.“No incidents of fighting or rowdiness are

known or have been reported,” Prince clari-fies.He could not say how many homeless peo-

ple sleep at the centre.Contact the Haven on (021) 465 1310.Direct enquiries or complaints about

homeless people to 0800 87 22 01; alternativelyemail [email protected].

THERE are only a few weeks leftbefore the applications for admis-sion to public higher educationinstitutions close.

It is imperative that matriculantsuse this time to ensure they havegood options open to themnext year,an education expert warns.The application deadline to many

public institutions is at the end ofthis month, while some will acceptapplications until September.“In these last weeks before the ap-

plications close, there is often an in-creasing feeling of anxiety,” says DrFelicityCoughlan, thedirector of theIndependent Institute of Education.“School-leavers are nervous about

the decisions they need tomake, andnaturally question whether they aremaking the right choices.”The Department of Higher Educa-

tion has launched the Apply now!campaign to avoid a repeat of thedesperation at the start of this aca-demic year when thousands ofyoung people had to be turned awayfrom tertiary education institutions,many of them because they failed toapply timeously.

In addition to registering on time,Coughlan says prospective studentsalso have to ensure their applica-tions would open up opportunitiesand a range of choices to them, to en-sure they are not limited next yearbecause their first or only choicesdid not materialise.“Remember that in terms of the

new higher education qualificationsframework, there are multipleroutes to most destinations,” shesays.

PlanBandwhy you should haveone“Matriculants are strongly ad-

vised to apply tomore than one insti-tution and faculty, and to keep theirminds wide open to the less conven-tional options which will give themdirect and immediate access to thefast track to fulfilling their dreams,”Coughlan says.While most young people will

chase theuniversity bachelor degreepass level as their goal, many willnot achieve the required marks toqualify for their first choice of insti-tution, she continues.“It is very important that you not

only plan forwhat youwant, but alsofor the alternative road you mighttake if youdon’t get exactlywhat youplanned for,” Coughlan explains.“That way, you won’t be short of

choices or even completely out of op-tions come January. And if you donot really know what you want, it isespecially important to keep youroptions wide open.”Succeeding in the right qualifi-

cation takes you further than theexpected one willCoughlan advises parents to keep

inmind that the life being lived isnottheirs.

“Just because your son or daugh-ter qualifies for acceptance into, forinstance, an engineering or medi-cine programme, does not mean thisis their chosen path or where theywill find happiness and success.“Your child is more likely to suc-

ceed by choosing the right route forhim or her, than the one everyoneelse would choose. Remember toothat while degrees do have real val-ue, they are not the only respectedcourse of study and, in some cases,are not themost efficient route to thechosen destination. ”She says if parents, teachers or

peers have exercised normativepressure, now would be the time tocorrect that.“Encourage your child to apply for

the things theywant to do at the plac-es where they will find a goodmatchto their temperament and aspira-tions. This will dramatically in-crease their chances of success.”

Keep your options – and yourmind – open“When the doors to public institu-

tions begin to close over the nextmonth, there will be many otherquality options open to students, asmost private institutions have laterclosing dates for applications withmany accepting applications in toFebruary,” notes Coughlan.“Do your homework to under-

stand what your options are and en-sure that the institution you are con-sideringmeets your requirements interms of registration, accreditation,campus environment, affordability,student support and quality. Youractions now will determine whetheryou have a range of workable op-tions available to you when those re-sults come in in January 2013.”

Tertiary deadline looms

PEOPLE often ask whywe shouldfuss about the environment.Whatabout the other serious issues weface – poverty, HIV/Aids, gang-sters, and the rest of the litany ofdaily woes? How can the environ-ment even feature in the face of allthis trouble and strife?As an answer, I like to share

how I saw the world when I wasyoung. At school we used to prac-tice writing letters, with the ad-dress all nicely lined up. It allseemed a bit pointless. So to keepmy letters short I had an addressthat ran halfway down the page,that ran something like this:Number 354, Cape View Flats, 29Narrow Road, Wyn-berg, Cape Province,Republic of South Afri-ca, Southern Africa,Southern Hemisphere,Africa, Earth, thirdplanet from the sun, thesolar system, located atthe edge of the MilkyWay, part of the Virgosupercluster, space, theUniverse, everywhere.This helped me to locate myself

in theuniverse, here at thebottomof Africa on a little, blue planet.It reminds me where we are, on aplanetary spaceship.This spaceship, Earth, hurtles

around the centre of our galaxy –which consists of at least another200 000 suns, and probably a simi-lar number of planets – at a bitover half a million km/h. Yet, weread this article as if we are sit-ting still!My point? It’s simple: amid this

speed, this chaos and order, as faras we know this planet is the onlyone which is habitable by us andbillions of other organisms.Fact is we have not identified

even half of those other organ-isms. Yet we are responsible for

the extinction of hundreds of spe-cies, daily. Extinct means gone.For ever.We do this by wastefully con-

suming the resources – the fossilfuels, minerals, water, animals,plants, fish – that make up ourworld. Instead of taking care ofour world we have become dis-tracted by an artificial world ofbling, drugs, shopping, stuff. Ourminds have been hijacked by amachine that eats our world andmakes us worry about all thewrong things. Yet we are privi-leged to live now, in this time. Weknow more about our world thanpeople ever have before. We are

starting to really under-stand about the uni-verse, the atoms thatmake it up and every-thing in between. Weare Homosapiens –thinking people. Andjust as we create ourown problems, we areequally capable of pro-viding the solutions.If – and this is a big if

– we are to survive as a species,we have to learn to care for theplanet which provides our home.From the first unicellular organ-ism tous, this planet hasnurturedus for billions of years. No matterhow bad things look in our liveswe must remember that our envi-ronment is wherewe live. It is ourhouse, our neighbourhood. It isour city, our mountains, our riv-ers and air. It provides our food,shelter, water, air and everythingwe need to live. It filters our poi-sons, our waste.Caring for our world, our envi-

ronment shifts us beyond our dai-ly grind.

Examining where we livemeans examining ourselves andwhat we each are. We can only be-

LIAM MOSES

ALLEGATIONS of a death threat and pro-tests are bringing to a head the issue ofa liquor outlet situated next to a mosquein Bo-Kaap.

The matter may go to court.Residents have launched a campaign to

have the Time and Place Restaurant and Barshut down.They were shocked when the bar opened

next to the Nurul Islam Mosque, on the cor-ner of Wale and Buitengracht streets, twoweeks ago.The Bo-Kaap Civic Association met with

residents lastMonday to plan their campaignagainst the bar.They held their first in a series of protests

outside the bar on Wednesday.On Thursday, about 15 adults and children

picketed, holding signs opposing the sale ofalcohol.Others urged passing motorists to hoot if

they supported the proposed closure of thebar.Bo-Kaap Civic Association chairperson

Osman Shaboodien says the daily picketshave been limited to around 15 people as theorganisation did not apply for permission toprotest. He says the association has strivedto keep the protests peaceful.But the bar manager says he fears the pro-

tests could turn violent.Sam, who would not give his full name as

he fears for his safety, says threats have beenshouted at him during the protests.“They have come here and threatened my

life. They are shouting ‘We are going to killyou!’,” he says.“They have said it. If we come here tomor-

row and find the bar closed down it will beno surprise.”Shaboodien denies hearing threats shout-

edat the restaurant or its staff onWednesday.Theassociationhas sought legal assistance

in their fight to have the bar closed.Seehaam Samaai, the director of UWC’s

Law Clinic, has been enlisted by the resi-dents.Samaai says the first step in the proposed

legal action against the bar has been to re-quest all documents relating to the liquor li-cence application.“We want copies of the entire file. We for-

warded correspondence to the police andLiq-uor Board for copies of the contents of thefile,” says Samaai, adding they’ve also askedthe Liquor Board for the reason for the deci-sion.Once these are obtained, she says, “the

community will assess which steps they aregoing take”.Samaai adds that she could proceed by ap-

plying for an interdict to stop the bar fromselling alcohol.“One of the legal options we are consider-

ing is getting an interdict to stop them sellingalcohol, subject to an investigation into theLiquorBoard’s activities andwhat happenedwhen the licence was issued.”Samaai adds that if any evidence of “collu-

sion or corruption” is found, the people re-sponsible will be held accountable.Shaboodien says the protests will continue

daily and culminate in a march from the barto the offices of the provincial governmentthis Friday.“Our programme for protest is basically

that every day there will be a picket in frontof the bar. Then on Friday we are going tohave a march after prayers, at about 13:15, tohand over a petition,” says Shaboodien.“Also, if possible, we will march to the of-

fice of the MEC for Economic Affairs, Fi-nance andTourism,AlanWinde, because theLiquor Board falls directly under his juris-diction.“We are busy talking to organisations in

other areas to lend support for this campaignbecause it will eventually affect their areasif this process goes on.“It’s not just about Bo-Kaap, it’s about the

whole process of how licences are issued.”

THE legacy of one of the city’s topnight spots will be rememberedwhen music lovers host a tributeto the famous Club Montreal.

Made famous in the tune com-posed by the late Tony Schilder, thisnight spot – which was based inManenberg – was a venue where thecream of the Cape’s social circlegathered to enjoy some of the top tal-ents in the country from the 1970sthrough to the ’90s.

On Sunday 9 September, ZoukeLounge in Kensington will host anafternoon of entertainment payingtribute to the music of that era withRemembering Club Montreal, a Ret-rospective of the Music and Times.

One of the organisers of the eventis Stan “The Jazzman” Davids, whoused to be the DJ at the venue formany years.

Now living in Mitchell’s Plain,Davids recalls how the venue playedabig role in empoweringmanyof theyouth of that time through music.

“Froma personal perspective, thisplace played a big part in me realis-ing my positive potential for mylife,” he says confidently.

“While the music that came to uswas important, the bigger inspira-tion was meeting the music loverswho gathered there. Almost all ofthem have become friends for life.

“This was also where I got my big

break as a DJ when the last owner,the late Bernie van Oordt, gave methe chance to spin some discs be-tween the live music. I’ve neverlooked back since”

VanOordtwaswell-known inBon-teheuwel as the owner of VanguardMotor Spares where his door was al-ways open to musicians at the time.

“If you went to the shop at anytime there would always be somemusician needing to have some-thing fixed on their cars,” continuedDavids, “and Bernie would neverrefuse them.

“In his own way he also mentoredmany of the youth in the areathrough exposing them to themusic,giving themwork at the club, but al-ways encouraging them to put theireducation first.

“This is the spirit of togethernesspeople want to celebrate at thisevent, and it is somethingmany peo-ple have been asking for over anumber of years. It is going to beabout more than the music; it is go-ing to be a gathering of ’family’.”

Davids has managed to get togeth-er most of the members of Out ofTown – one of the last bands to playthere – to provide the music.

They areCamillo Lombard onkey-boards, Tich Jean-Pierre on guitarand vocals, Denver Furness ondrums, andGrant Sebastian on bass.

Another highlight is that vocalistLeslie Kleinsmith (currently per-forming on cruise ships in the Medi-

terranean) will be in town and be aspecial guest at the event.

Zouke Lounge is in Bunney Street,Kensington.

Doors open at 12:00.Admission is R50 with tickets

available at the door.Contact Davids on 082 452 2426 or

Dotted lineIT ALL comes down to a matter of semanticsfor the three percent of Woolworths staff whohave yet to sign a new contract in whichthey’re required to work flexible hours.

Initial media reports say the firm was cut-ting some 600 jobs.

The retailer has come out denying these re-ports, saying they are not retrenching as thisis “not a formal retrenchment exercise”.

But for the three percent of employees whohave yet to sign on the dotted line, it may verywell come to the option of leaving with a vol-untary severance payment or taking early re-tirement, should they qualify.

Woolworths has explained its position. Thecompany runs a seven-days-a-week opera-tion, 365 days a year.

Already 97 % of Woolworths employees hadstarted working under the new contract.

It requires them to work flexible hours, in-cluding weekends.

By comparison, the old contract requiredstaff to work a fixed shift from Monday to Fri-day, and a half-day on Saturday.

Woolworths COO, Sam Ngumeni, says thecompany will offer staff who opt for the flexi-ble contract a “conversion payment”.

As for those who don’t, does this mean theywill, in fact, be without a job?

At what stage should the government inter-vene to prevent working people from losingtheir jobs in the private sector?

South African companies have used labourlegislation at their disposal to revisit employ-ee contracts. One of these are “operationalcriteria”.

The demands on the retail industry arefuelled by every person who uses these servic-es at odd hours and over weekends.

South African companies could considerbeing more flexible in their own approach tostaff.

Every time consumers frequent malls andstores, someone has to be there to do the work.Consumers may have a better understandingof the dynamics involved when it is their ownworking these inflexible hours.

I AM not against organ donation per se, but Ihave strong reservations on the fairness of theenterprise.

If one donates blood, a discount situation isapplied when one or one’s family requires blood.If one donates their organs, the family receivenothing but the receiver pays K-rand into themedical fraternity to receive the organ.

Apparently a healthy donor dying can make

six or seven once-off donations.Am I wrong to expect compensation in kind

for the donor’s loved ones, should they be in thisunenviable position in the future?

Not all receivers revere and nurture their neworgans, so what is the motivation for normal, av-erage people to allow the harvesting of their bod-ies?LLOYD ANDERSON

HOW invigorating that someone took time to re-ply to my letter condemning the death penalty(“Death penalty: other side of the same coin”,People’s Post, 14 August).

Unfortunately people choose to play the maninstead of the ball, narrow it down to petty is-sues or to dilute. We are just the messengers.The death penalty is too serious a topic to stoopto that despicable level. Whether I know crimi-nals or not, what does that have to do with theissue at hand? My view is always to empathisewith both victim and perpetrator; that is whatmy Master teaches me.

His six questions beg answers: No country canexecute 200 000 murderers. And rapists?

Our courts cannot even contemplate the deathsentence; any judge who does should resignforthwith. Our Constitutional Court outlawedthe death sentence in 1995 with a unanimous11-0 decision which we should all be proud of.

Ours is a human rights or moral democracy;we are in the company of all the respectable de-mocracies of the world. Everyone’s rights –whether the lowly drunkard or homeless per-

son, or someone from the highest class – areguaranteed in our Constitution. One only appre-ciates this when someone close to you gets intotrouble with the law.

His fifth question is crucial. Who must liveand who must die?

American jails are overflowing with deathpenalty inmates and even powerful nations liketheirs or China are scared to execute people sim-ply because of world pressure. If South Africatries to execute just one person, it will be theend of our democracy.

His last question simply underlines the enor-mous work each one of us still faces to turnaround the cycle of violence threatening to de-stroy our society.

Two questions for him: Are we better sinnersthan criminals? Are their sins bigger than ours?

He might as well stop praying the Lord’sPrayer!

Let Marikana be a wake-up call.Pity the poor Syrians running away from

their homes. Where will we run to?KOERT MEYER

Organ donation: who benefits?

I JUST want to say a heartfeltthank you to People’s Post forthe Women’s Day city tourand outing to Table Moun-tain on Wednesday 22 Au-gust.

It was very well plannedand I really liked how thewinners were selected fromall different walks of life.Some of the ladies who werechosen hadn’t even been upTable Mountain before!

We were also presentedwith a lovely goody bag anda snack on Table Mountainwhich made us feel really spe-cial!

Also a big thanks to Ebte-shaamah who was very pro-fessional and managed to suc-cessfully coordinate a biggroup of ladies. A job verywell done to her!

Thanks, too, to Williamand the bus driver from theCity Sightseeing bus compa-ny.

I felt like a tourist in myown hometown and certainlylearnt a thing or two aboutour beautiful city.

Overall an amazing experi-ence!FATIMA TAR MAHOMED

MMA at military baseMMA at military baseLIAM MOSES

SOME OF Cape Town’s bestmixed martial arts fighters willtake to the cage next week, whenthe second instalment of theCape Fight League takes place inWynberg.

The cage fighting tournamentwas hosted for the first time in Feb-ruary this year and saw over 1 500people witness some of the most ac-tion-packed MMA fights ever host-ed in Cape Town.Gary Barrett, co-founder of the

league, says fans of combat sportcan expect contests of the same in-tensity at the Wynberg MilitaryBase on Saturday 8 September.“They are going to see action-

packed fights, with about 15 fightstaking place, and the Cape FightLeague light heavy title will be onthe line,” says Barrett.“It’s a night of entertainment and

stunning ring girls. There are DJs.There is something for people to seeand to learn about what the sport ofMMA. It’s a great night of entertain-ment.”The title fightwill be contested by

local Chris du Pont, who fights outof the Phoenix Muay Thai andMMA gym in Observatory, andDurban fighter Craig Fourie.While the other top-billed clashes

include another professional lightheavyweight fight between GideonDrotschie and Mark Bristow, andtwo professional ultimate strikefights.Barrett would not be drawn into

predicting a result for the title fight,but said he expected neither fighterto take a back seat in the contest.

“I can predict it’s going to be anexplosive fight with heavy hitting,heavy hands and it should be an ex-plosive contest.”The first event was hosted at the

Bellville Velodrome on Saturday 4February.According to Barrett, he founded

the event because the ever-growinglist of talented MMA fighters inCapeTownwas starved for competi-tion.“A lot of the Cape fighters had to

travel to Johannesburg or Durbanto get fights andwhenyou’re an am-ateur it’s not always that easy topack your bags and pay your wayto go to events,” says Barrett.“There are events happening

around the country. When you’repro you get paid to do this. They pay

for your flight, they pay your ac-commodation and when you’re anamateur that doesn’t happen.”The organisers plan to host

league events four times each yearin the future.Barrett adds that the event has

started to attract fighters from oth-er parts of the country.“We started it to give the guys a

chance to compete at a professionallevel in Cape Town rather than go-ing around the country.”The smaller venue in Wynberg

should make for better seating ar-rangements, closer views of thefights and a more vivid experienceon the night.For more information about the

league or to buy tickets, contactBarrett on 0 072 123 4404.

False Bay win relegation dog fightLIAM MOSES

FALSE BAY RFC have clawed their way outof the Super League A relegation zone aftersecuring a narrow victory over local rivalsVillager at a rain-drenched Philip Herbsteinin Constantia on Saturday.The Bay scored three converted tries and

slotted three penalties to win the match winthe match 27-19, while Villager managed oneconverted try and three penalties.While the four points gleaned from the vic-

torymayhave givenFalseBay a vital lifelinein their fight to secure their top-flight status,the result has almost certainly doomed Vil-lager to relegation from the league.Chris Hewetson, False Bay head coach, be-

lieves his teamwere themoremotivated sideon the day, as they have a better chance ofsaving themselves from the drop.“Ideally five points would have been great,

but awin is awinandwewill take fourpointsgracefully, because its four points closer toTygerberg,” says Hewetson.“We are just clawing our way back. We

have two games left. We are going to go out

and try and win our remaining two games.We showed that we are capable of beatingcertain teams and we have proven it againsta hungry team today. We have beaten Victo-rians before, so we are hoping to clinch an-other one out there.”False Bay and Villager went into game in

the second-last and last positions on the tablerespectively, with Tygerberg just above thedrop zone in eighth place. The Bay have nowswapped places with Tygerberg, after theRavensmead-based side suffered a 33-13 de-feat against the Maties.However, Hewetson’s side are still not the

masters of their own fate. False Bay mustface the two University of Stellenboschteams, Victorians and Maties, in their lasttwo encounters.Both games will be played in Stellenbosch

and False Bay need to secure victories inboth to ensure their safety.Tygerberg,who trail FalseBayby only two

points, play Victorians in Stellenbosch andthen host UCT and Villager in Ravensmeadin their last games.The game in hand and slightly easier fix-

tures means Tygerberg still have a strongchance of securing their place in the SuperLeague A.But Hewetson is confident of his team’s

ability towinagainst all odds, especiallynowformer Pumas and Griquas centre BrendellBrandt has returned from a lengthy injurylay-off.Brandt’s involvement at False Bay has

LIAM MOSES

VODACOMLeague football clubSaltRiv-er Blackpool has secured a deal that theybelieve could soon see them challengingfor the league title.

Blackpool has partnered with Claremont-based soccer academyAfrican Soccer Devel-opments (ASD) in an arrangement that willsee the two teams share players and coach-ing staff.The club’s Vodacom League side will now

be known as Salt River Blackpool ASD andup to 15 players from the academy will bepart of the Blackpool first team squad.Iqbal Kasker, Blackpool’s chairman, says

that the partnership came about after histeam loaned two of ASD’s players for their2011/2012 Vodacom League campaign.“It’s a combination of sharing talent and

experience. At the moment they only playunder-19 football and this is an opportunityfor them to play and test their players at ahigher level,” says Kasker.“We’ll obviously benefit from the players,

as well as the expertise of their coaching de-partment. It’s basically a sharing of the ex-pertise, of players, coaches and obviouslypart of the proposal is that theywill put backinto the community and help the amateurclub.”The deal was signed on Thursday last

week, after several meetings between repre-sentatives from the two teams.ASD was formed in 2009 and is a profes-

sional football academy which aims to pro-duce players for professional teams in SouthAfrica and Europe.Mike Steptoe, founder of the academy,

says he chose Blackpool, rather than any ofthe otherVodacomLeague teams, for severalreasons.

“We followed local football and we wantedtobe involvedwitha club thatwas communi-ty based. We are based in Claremont and notreally part of the footballing community,”says Steptoe.“And Salt River was identified by us last

season when we identified a couple of ourplayers to them last season for their first sea-son in theVodacomLeague.We felt that theydealt with themnicely and looked after themand we thought that they would be a goodpartnership going forward.”The partnership will also see ASD’s head

coach, Dougie Williams, will take over ashead of the Blackpool Vodacom Leagueteam, a move which Kasker sees as a majorbenefit.Blackpool finished in eighth place last

year, a respectable result considering that itwas their first season in the third tier ofSouth African football.Kasker believes that the partnership with

ASD could help the teams to finish evenhigher this time, and even win the league.“It’s possible that we couldwin the league.

Last season we beat Milano at Rooikrans, attheir home ground. We beat the team thatended second, Cape Town All Stars, and webeat the team that ended third,” saysKasker.“We don’t doubt our talent. Last year was

a learning experience. Certain gameswe lostwere basically down to the lack of experi-ence.“We a very competitive unit andwithASD

on board it brings different dimension to theteam. They have very young players andthey play the high tempo gamewhich I thinksuits us.”Blackpool will play their home games at

the Shelley Street Sports Field in Salt Riverand use the UCT soccer field in Rondeboschif Shelley Street is unavailable for any rea-son.
