Essex Streethouse: ahub of filthMICHEAL KNIGHT
WOODSTOCK locals livingin Essex Street are becom-
ing increasingly concernedabout the goings-on at a nearbyhouse.
The house, which neighbours theShoprite delivery area, has beenraided by the Woodstock police fordrugs on numerous occasions.
Residents living nearby, all ofwhom wished to remain anony-mous for safety reasons, say thehouse is overcrowded with drug ad-dicts who have scant regard for hy-giene.
One resident says he has had anumber of run-ins with the home’sinhabitants, who “throw their dirtywater into the road”.
“They all wash themselves out-side this house – but within the con-fines of the property – and whenthey are done, they come onto thepavement and throw the water intothe street.”
The local says he has also seenthem selling drugs, which theystash along the pavement.
Another resident says the menuse a nearby electrical generator to
one side of Shoprite as their own“personal toilet” – and they don’tcare who’s watching.
“Sometimes children pass bywith their parents, and the men justdon’t have any respect. They carryon and laugh it off when you ap-proach them, as if what they are do-ing is funny.”
A group of irate people raised thematter with the Woodstock policeduring a public meeting at StAgnes’ Primary School last month.
“They are selling drugs right inthe open,” said social worker Ie-dries Abrahams at the gathering.“The police raid this house, but to-morrow business continues. I haveon several occasions confrontedthese men, but they laugh at me –because theyknowtheir clientswillreturn.”
Sergeant Hilton Malila, spokes-person for Woodstock Police Sta-tion, says officers are working outa better way to deal with the den.
“We are fully aware of what ishappening with regards to the ille-gal activities around the house, sowe are putting plans in motion toaddress the problems,” says Malila.
At last month’s meeting, Iedriessaid the house and the area around
it are “completely filthy”, andcalled the property a “major healthconcern”. “We are basically stand-ing back and watching these guystake over our community and de-stroy our children’s minds. Raidingthe house will not help. This houseshould be shut down, and these menlocked away.”
This journalist took a strollaround the house last week to seefirsthand what the residents arecomplaining of. Several men werein the yard outside, some kicking aball around, others taking in somesunshine. The smell of urine hov-ered in the air, and layers of rub-bish had built in the gutters in frontof the property.
Teun Baartman, the local Com-
munity Police Forum (CPF) chair-person, says the problem house hasbeen brought up in “several meet-ings” with the public.
“I don’t agree that police are do-ing nothing about this problem, butthe local police canonlydo somuch,and need the community to assistthem,” says Baartman.
Baartman urges residents togather enough information on theproblems at the house to compile areport for investigation by theWoodstock police.
“The information received fromthe community is vital, and this canassist police, because they cannotbe at the house all the time.
“Anonymity is guaranteed,”Baartman adds.
Malila and Baartman say theowners of the property are beingtracked down.
“Once the owners are trackeddown, we will then serve them witha letter explaining to them that thehouse is being used for drug ped-dling, and that we request that theysolve the matter urgently,” Malilaconcludes.
People’s Post could not find theowners for purposes of gainingcomment by the time of going toprint.

Grow with your countryTHE pursuit of patriotism as part of theProudly South African campaign’s keymandate to create jobs in South Africa isa factor itself for attracting competentand passionate talent.
“We pride ourselves in having some of thebiggest and best recruitment companies reg-istered as Proudly SA members,” says VusiSithole, executive manager for human re-sources and administration for the ProudlySA campaign.
“This makes it easier to attract and re-cruit the right candidates from the market.Our market-related salaries, with addition-al value propositions to the right candidate,support our recruitment strategy.”
Sithole says Proudly SA invests deliber-ately in its staff as they are seen as partnersin the organisation’s work.
“We insist that our personnel are patrioticabout South Africa; they must have an inter-nal drive and passion to serve our companyand, subsequently, our country.
“We look for people who take initiative,and who strive for excellence. We value ex-cellent communicators and diligent teamplayers who have potential to grow withinour organisation.”
He says the most important attributes pre-ceding formal qualifications include a pro-ductivity-driven approach, a hard-workingattitude, good people skills and above-aver-age computer competency. Relevant post-matric qualifications and experience are re-quired for most positions.
“Take the time to thoroughly research theindustry in which you pursue a career place-ment,” Sithole advises. “Do the same with
specific companies in that industry; explorethe entrance opportunities they have, in-cluding their internship openings.
“Package your CV so that it clearly out-lines your skills, abilities, attributes,growth potential, aptitude and personalstrengths. It is equally important to sell thispackage together with your personalitytraits and other achievements.
“Proofread your CV thoroughly beforesending it out anywhere, and always includeat least three contactable references andyour correct contact details. Remember thatHR departments get bombarded with loadsof CVs.
“It is therefore important to send a neat,legible and self-explanatory CV to attracttheir attention – nothing too fancy or clut-tered.”
Candidates, Sithole continues, need to re-search the company’s vision and key objec-tives, and take the time to get a sense of itsorganisational culture before they can sellthemselves.
For a candidate even to be considered forthe next round of interviews, they should bepassionate and patriotic about the ProudlySA campaign’s mission.
Sithole says Proudly South African has“not really been affected by the skills crisis”.
“The Proudly South African internshipprogramme has always given us a competi-tive edge to respond to immediate personnellosses as a stop gap measure.
“Ninety percent of our all our former in-terns have either been fully appointed inter-nally or elsewhere, again showcasing ourcontribution and commitment to create jobsin South Africa.”
A beautiful colour shootoutWHAT happens when under-
privileged children whohave never before seen the worldfrom behind a lens are told to cap-ture Cape Town’s culture withdisposable cameras?
You get I Was Shot in CapeTown, an NGO providing a crea-tive outlet and job skill develop-ment to children in need.
The first phase of the organisa-tion’s 2011 programme in CapeTown ends with a month-long ex-hibition of the children’s inter-pretations of the Mother City atThe Grand Café and Beach inGranger Bay, opening on Thurs-day.
For this, I Was Shot In CapeTown has worked with 19 youngsters fromMamelani Projects in photographing keylandmarks throughout the city, motivatingthem to channel their hardships throughphotography.
Project head Bernard Viljoen, who is anarchitect and photographer, says the pro-gramme enriches and empowers the livesof poorer youths with marketable skills.
“As Capetonians celebrate the beginningof a new season, we celebrate the end of a
fantastic chapter of new beginnings,” saysproject coordinator Sivo Gluck.
“We have seen growth in every child,with each one learning not only valuablephotographic skills, but also interpersonaland social skills, independence and, mostimportantly, hope for an improved future.”
I Was Shot in Cape Town consists of twotraining periods spread over weekly ses-sions. The second training phase continuesuntil the end of December.
“We harness photography as a tool for ex-pression and an opportunity to nurturehidden talent among the youth,” Viljoensays. “Life’s moments are significant to anunderprivileged child but perhaps forgot-ten to us, and it can remind us to appreciatethe simple by looking at our beautiful citythrough their eyes.”
All proceeds from the photographic exhi-bition will go towards future empower-ment endeavours.

CONTRASTS: “Our Table Mountain” juxtaposes the rundown with the pristine.
‘Carry on camping’HANRIE BOSCH
SITTING on the balcony of theDutch Manor Antique Hotel atthe bottom of the colourful Bo-Kaap, Cyril Matthew Johnsonspots one of his friends from thestreets, from back in the daywhen “carry on camping” wastheir motto, and “mines” (dust-bins) their means of food, in-come and shelter.
All of a sudden he seems so farremoved from his new reality.
Johnson gets a glimmer in hiseyes – from hope or tears or both– when he’s asked what hisfriends who are still living onthe streets think of him now:Now that he is no longer a “ber-gie”.
“It seems like a joke to them.They find it strange, and I thinkmaybe they are a bit jealous thatshe is likes me so much.”
“She” being Yanick Smit,manager of the Dutch ManorAntique Hotel and the helpinghand behind Johnson’s risefrom the streets.
“In 2009 I was busy plantingplants outside and saw this ras-ta,” Smit recalls. “I asked him tohelp me carry some pots, and af-ter a while he came back to meand said he’d enjoyed workingso much – and that he reallywanted to work again. Now he ismy best friend in the Bo-Kaap.”
Smit even helped to reconnectJohnson with his long lost sis-ter, whom he had not seen in 15years.
With Smit’s help, Johnson hasbeen concentrating hard on em-powering himself.
He was given his certificate infirst aid at the end of last month,and in July he completed a cul-tural site guide course to be-come a tour guide in the Bo-Kaap – for which he is remarka-bly qualified, having spent 15
years living on a street corner inthe neighbourhood.
His story sounds like a fableout of a children’s book – a hard-working, happy-go-lucky man,digging in the “mines” to makea meagre living until a princesssweeps him off to a better world– but the rest of Johnson’s lifedoes not make so pretty a story.
The youngest of 11 children,Johnson lost his father when hewas two. His mother was halfblind at the time, and he wasmistreated by his older siblings.He left his school and homewhen he was in Grade 9 to “lookafter myself and find my ownroad”, he says.
And so the creed of “carry oncamping” took him on an almostlifelong journey across the pe-ninsula, hopping from onestreet, park or hide-away to thenext in search of better “mines”– and maybe even a pot of goldat the end of his Rastafarianrainbow.
He eventually ended up on thecorner of Leeuen and Buiten-gracht Streets in the Bo-Kaap,near the Dutch Manor AntiqueHotel.
He stayed there for 15 years,until fate, destiny or pure luckintervened.
Today, the 46-year-old John-son lives with his sister inMitchell’s Plain, and hopes oneday to have his own home, andto reconnect with his three chil-dren to give them what he neverhad.
And he’ll work his way thereby walking the streets in anoth-er way: Johnson will lead hisfirst tour group on 27 Septem-ber, and share his wealth ofknowledge with tourists as hetakes them on a walking tourthrough the streets that taughthim that “life is one big road-works with lots of signs”.

The blades of businessTAURIQ HASSEN
ADVERTISING BOARDS in the businesshub of Voortrekker Road in Maitland havelocals flying for cover, literally, when thewind picks up.
Some of the boards are tied to lamp posts,while others are anchored to the groundwith bricks.
In addition to being illegal, the boardspose a danger to pedestrians.
When the wind picks up, residents say, theboards get flung around, causing some “seri-ous damage”.
Eric Abrahams, a Maitland resident whoworks in Voortrekker Road, recalls how hewas almost injured by a flying board lastweek.
He prefers not to mention the name of thebusiness whose board it was.
“My aim is not to make trouble for thebusinesses,” he says, “but this can be dan-gerous to everyone, especially older peopleusing these pavements.
“People must be aware of these dangers.It might seem like a silly advertising board,but it can cause loads of damage.”
Abrahams says buffeting winds can turnup suddenly, and while some businesses se-cure their advertising boards, others don’tbother.
Pensioner Leanne Richards told People’sPost that her son was injured by a board ear-lier this year.
Although the boards seem harmless, a lit-tle bit of wind can turn them into a “danger-ous weapon”, she says.
“One of those boards came crashing intomy son’s leg.
“It slit open the side of his leg, and he need-ed around 22 stitches to repair the cut,” saysRichards.
“I don’t think people want these business-es to stop advertising, because you must un-derstand that this is a place for business, butthese owners need to make it consumerfriendly.”
Business owners declined to speak to Peo-
ple’s Post when the newspaper visited the ar-ea last week.
One owner accused the newspaper of “sen-sationalising” the issue.
The problem extends beyond VoortrekkerRoad.
In Cannon Road, as People’s Post reportedlast month, pavement advertising has beenobstructing the view of drivers trying tomerge from side roads (“Maitland road aloose cannon,” 9 August).
Drivers are often forced to inch into thethoroughfare, which sometimes results inaccidents.
Edite Rodrigues, manager of the MaitlandImprovement District, says she is aware ofthe concerns in Voortrekker Road.
She says she regularly asks businesses notto put their advertising boards on the pave-ments.
“We would approach businesses and re-quest them to remove their boards or adver-tising material from the pavements,” Rod-rigues says.
“We understand the ramifications thismight cause, but we cannot stress this pointany further – it is illegal to place your boardson the pavements, and businesses should re-frain from doing so.”
Ward councillor Derrick America saysthat he was not fully aware of the situation’sseverity, but has met up with improvementdistrict members in the past to discuss thematter.
“I was supposed to meet up with themagain to discuss this matter, but could notdo so. But I am now only aware of the extentof the concerns around these advertisingboards.”
Advertisingonapublic pavement is “obvi-ously illegal”, he says.
“Businesses are required to apply to theCity of Cape Town to advertise on pave-ments,” says America.
“Seeing that I now know the severity of thesituation, I will be looking into the matterwith an attempt to find a solution to theseconcerns.”
Acid attack stillremains a mysteryHANRIE BOSCH
A BRUTAL acid attackin a taxi last Tuesdaynight has left a cloud ofquestions in its wake.
Police investigationshave thus far yielded noth-ing but blurred CCTV foot-age and sketchy details,and victims are still com-ing to grips with the horri-fying consequences.
“I never thought thatthis could happen to me. Iwish I could turn back theclock, but this is it for me.I can’t go back. Everythingwill be different now.”
These are the shockedwords of the 23-year-oldwoman from Brooklyn,Cape Town, whose lifechanged forever when aman poured acid over herface in a taxi at 20:00 nearCubana in Green Point’sMain Road.
“I started screaming.Everything was burning,and I was in agony. I couldnot even talk. I justscreamed and screamed, and everythingturned red.”
Her evening started as usual. She lockedup her workplace in Sea Point at 20:00, andwaited for a taxi to take her to the centralrank, mere minutes away. Two men wereloitering in the road with her, and shesensed them watching her.
“When a taxi stopped I got in, and they gotin after me and sat at the back. Near StrandStreet, the men wanted to get out, and thenit happened.”
Whenshe started to shriek inpain, theoth-er passengers immediately realised thatsomething was wrong: When the mensqueezed past on their way out, one emptiedthe contents of a bottle over the woman’shead.
At first, witnesses thought the liquid waswater or alcohol, but seconds later reality setin – the fluid was a powerful acid.
The taxi driver and collector started tochase after the men, who fled in the directionof Bo-Kaap, towards The Kraal informal set-tlement, but they gave up and took the wom-an to Christian Barnard Hospital when herdesperate fellow passengers called for help.
A doctor, who employs the woman as a re-ceptionist, says she heard the news in min-utes. “At 20:18, we received a call from awoman who was sitting next to her, who toldus acid had been thrown over her face, andthat she was now in hospital.”
The doctor rushed to her side. “She hadburn shield dressings to her face, head,hands, shoulders, chest, arms and legs,” thedoctor recalls. “The plastic surgeon told us
that she had sustained severe acid burns toher face, especially her left eyelid and ear.”
A man who was sitting next to the recep-tionist in the vehicle says he was on thephone and not paying much attention towhat was going on until the devastatingscreams echoed through the nearly emptytaxi.
“A few seconds after she started scream-ing I felt my left leg burning. I ripped off allof my clothes. I still do not understand whythey would do this. She does not even knowthe men.
“Maybe it could be an initiation for agang.”
He and the grievously injured womanspent the night in hospital, and were re-leased the next day.
“I’m scared,” the woman says. “I thoughtthe inside of a taxi was safe. Now I just don’tknow what to expect.
“I don’t know why they chose me. I reallyjust don’t know.”
Captain Ezra October, spokesperson fortheCapeTownCentral police, says this is thefirst crime of its kind in the precinct. Hecould not comment on the speculation thatthe attack was part of a gang initiating.
A case of assault with the intent to inflictgrievous bodily harm has been opened, butOctober says the charges may be upgradedowing to the severity of the case. The chemi-cal used in the attack has been sent to Preto-ria for analysis.
Police urge anyone with information tocome forward to assist in the investigation.Call Crime Stop on 08600 10111.
FRIGHTENED: The 23yearold woman is back at home, but saysthat there is a long and costly road ahead to recovery.

The healing power of horsesHANRIE BOSCH
A GROUP of caring people inthe city have turned to a nov-el source of love and under-standing to help street chil-dren and abused youths.
The Montrose Equine youthdevelopment programme givesthese troubled children a newperspective by introducingthem to a gentle councillor whohardly speaks, but says vol-umes with her soft silence – andhas an endless capacity to givepiggy-back rides.
Horses – or “therapists withhooves”, as Montrose generalmanager Stacey Doorly Joneslikes to call her four-leggedhelpers – have a remarkableway of neutralising aggressionand anxiety.
As Winston Churchill oncesaid, “There is somethingabout the outside of a horse thatis good for the inside of a man,”and no one understands thismore than Cindy, a social work-er at the Lindelani Place ofSafety in Stellenbosch. She hasseen a group of boys change be-fore her eyes after only six of 16sessions in the programme.
“The biggest thing that haschanged is the respect theyshow me and others living inthe home. They have seen thatwhen you work nicely with ahorse, it responds. If youare an-gry, the horse will run or refuseto move... they are starting toapply the same thinking intheir daily lives now.”
Jones says horses are adeptat mirroring nonverbal com-munication from humans,which she says makes up 93%of all human communication.Illustrating her point with amemorable example, she says,“A group of girls suffering witheating disorders came in for asession. When we walked intothe paddock, a horse startedrubbing one girl’s stomach upand down... A different horsewent up and did the same thing.By 45 minutes into the session,
this had happened five times.“It turned out that the girl
had had an abortion recently,and the horses sensed pain andanguish in that area of herbody.”
Jones was even more as-tounded at what happenednext.
“The horses almost made acircle around her, isolating herfrom the rest of the group. Shejust stood there, crying, and gotit all out, but she did not oncewant to talk to us about it… itwas a powerful release of emo-tional distress that only thehorses could bring out.”
Sea Point resident HermanLategan, who has spent sometime at the programme’s homeat De Grendel farm, was scepti-cal to begin with. “I was verycynical at first,” he says. “Ithough it was just a bunch ofnonsense. But, after workingon the farm for a while, it allsuddenly started making sense.
“The first time I went into thepaddock with the horses, theycould sense my scepticism.They stood with their backs tome and did not want to inter-act.”
It was a turning point.“It is very strange, and I can-
not fully explain it. After awhile I could see how the kidswere growing and developing…the horses do not judge, andthey offer a warm, sensitive in-teraction that most of thesechildren would never havehad.”
Though the programmestarted off just last year, it hasalready helped 87 youths dealwith their daily struggles.
It isn’t easy, though; the foun-dation relies solely on fundingand donations to do its work,and it costs R3 500 for eachchild doing an eight-weekcourse.
If you can help the founda-tion with time or donations,please contact Stacey Jones on(021) 801-6725 or visitwww.montrosefounda-tion.co.za.
International intrigueCAPE TOWN might soon getstirred, not shaken: Mr Licenceto Thrill himself – Bond, JamesBond – may jet into town if film-ing difficulties in India persist.
Cape Film Commission CEODenis Lillie, comments in apress release that a film projectcan “very quickly go off the railsif the coordination between cityand government departments isnot in place”.
“Cape Town would not be hap-py to benefit from someoneelse’s loss,” he continues. “How-ever, our film-friendly city, andthe coordination between ourgovernment departments, dohelp, as we demonstrated dur-ing the hosting of the 2010 FifaWorld Cup and other major film-
ing events here in the past year.“Cape Town welcomes James
Bond whenever he decides tovisit us.”
Councillor Grant Pascoe, theCity’s Mayoral Committeemember for Tourism, Eventsand Marketing, says,
“International films contrib-ute significantly to Cape Town’seconomy, and sustain thou-sands of jobs.
“Our city has all the facilitiesrequired for a shoot of this mag-nitude. Cape Town is a film-friendly city, and I would like toassure the producers that westand ready – they will have eve-rything they need to have aproblem-free filming experiencein Cape Town.”
HORSING AROUND: Stacey Doorly Jones says most youths are not conscious of the process they’re going throughwith the horses – it just feels like play. Photos: Supplied
HEALING TOUCH:Horses react instinctually to subtle emotions.
CARING COMPANION: Horses can offer affectionand a sense of understanding without being threatening in any way.
SOOTHING: Many youths apparently show lowered levels of aggression and anxiety after working with horses.

SEPTEMBER 2011
Be a Tourist in Your City – see Cape Point!September is Tourism Month and in celebration ofWorld Tourism Day on 27 September 2011 with itsfascinating theme, tourism linking cultures, CapeTown Tourism and a host of partnering attractions arebringing you My Cape Town; a month in which localsare encouraged to explore and enjoy the beautifulMother City through special offers, discountedvouchers and exciting events.Situated at the tip of the Cape Peninsula, My CapeTown partner, Cape Point, lies within the vast TableMountain National Park. The park encompasses anincredible 7750 hectares of rich and varied flora andfauna, including SA's indigenous fynbos; however,the natural beauty of Cape Point is not its soleattraction. Cape Point is also an historic maritimeicon.

THEY work carefully, en-suring the basic shape isperfect before letting loosewith their creative sides.They only do this once ayear, and this is when Goo-sain Davids and his grand-son,Mujaid, are at theirhap-piest.
They are creating the per-fect kite in aid of a goodcause – and with the aim oftaking the top spot in theCape Town InternationalKite Festival.
The duo from Manenbergface a tough challenge intheir bid to maintain theHeritage Kite title theyscooped for the second timelast year, when they werecrowned the winners at thecolourful spectacle at Zand-vlei in Muizenberg.
But Goosain says he al-ready has his top-secrettheme in mind, and is excit-ed to get down to the practi-cal side of the creation. The56-year-old says he previous-ly attended the festival as aspectator, getting lost in thewide range of colours blow-ing in the wind.
“But my grandson, Mu-jaid, always used to tug onmy arm and beg: ‘Pa, whenare we going to enter?’ Iwould always laugh and say,‘Next year, my boy.’ But in2009, he got tired of waiting,so I carried through and ful-filled my promise to him.”
After spending hours let-ting their creative juicesflow, they were finally ready forthe big day.
“When we were announced asthe winners, Mujaid nearlyjumped right out of his skin! Hewas in a great hurry to get homeand show his parents and friendshowwellwehaddone,”he laughs.
Last year, the team managed torepeat their feat when their pinkand purple kite fluttered its wayto the top spot. The colourfulswaeltjie, also known as a swal-low kite – a design used in Malay-
sia – stood out among the rest ofthe competitors, and the creationof bamboo, fishing line and spe-cial kite paper was given gold.
Goosain says Mujaid is becom-ing very impatient as he waits forhis grandfather to confirm whenthey will start creating their en-try for this year. “He’s so excited,and can hardly wait to take partagain. I am also looking forwardto the event – it’s the best feelingever to see your kite flying in theclear blue sky, making people
clap and admire your work.”The festival, which is in aid of
Cape Mental Health, takes placeon the lawns surrounding Zandv-lei on 22 and 23 October from 10:00till 18:00
Participation is free, and spec-tators pay R15 for adults and R5for children.

THE origin of the supersti-tion that breaking a mirrorcauses seven years of badluck can be traced back to
the Romans, who were the first to createglass mirrors. The Romans, along with theGreek, Chinese, African and Indian cul-tures, believed that a mirror had the powerto capture part of a person’s soul. If the aperson’s reflected image became distortedin any way, it was thought that the personwould be corrupted. –www.wisegeek.com

Name gameWHAT’S in a name? Well evidently here inSouth Africa, a lot.
Last week full Council unanimously ap-proved a motion put forward by Cape TownExecutive Mayor Patricia de Lille to changethe name of Western Boulevard to Helen Suz-man Boulevard.
Most Capetonians may be content that thebreathtaking Eastern Boulevard now boaststhe new name and sign to match, “NelsonMandela Boulevard” which ushers motoriststo a panoramic view of the city and Atlanticcoastline.
But last week the ANC voiced their dissatis-faction thatnames suchasHendrikVerwoerdDrive – after the father of apartheid – remainon street signs.
Yesterday, a university lecturer fuelled theflames when he revealed that the City had notresponded to his requests to change other out-dated road names such as Hertzog Boulevard,DF Malan roads, Hans Strijdom Road and Os-wald Pirow Street.
It seems puzzling though, that 17 years intodemocracy we still have street names honour-ing apartheid leaders.
While some groups feel that renamingstreets is an expensive, pointless exercisewhich only places added pressure on taxpay-ers and the private sector, it has been arguedthat changing street names could actuallyserve to further entrench racial divide.
Some Afrikaans communities hold theview that past political figures are part oftheir heritage, and deserve to be honouredthrough means such as having streets namedafter them.
But this sentiment could serve as a painfulreminder of South Africa’s turbulent past.
Street names should reflect our heritage,and if they are used as a tool to honour, thenit is probably best to have them honour thosewho have positively impacted the growth anddevelopment of our country. Wise of the Cityto leave it up to the residents to make theseweighty decisions.
Zuma was within his rightsDURING the “consultation” between the Ju-dicial Services Commission (JSC) and presi-dent Jacob Zuma’s preferred candidate forthe position of South Africa’s chief justice,Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng, it became quiteclear that deputy judge president, DikgangMoseneke, is a bitter, angry and vindictiveman.
Thequestions should thennot be the suita-bility of Mogoeng, but rather the suitabilityof Moseneke, to serve as our second most sen-ior judge.
Moseneke’s style of questioning, his sar-castic attitude towards Mogoeng and the factthe he (Moseneke) even entertained the ideaof re-opening discussions on the issue of fur-thernominations, after a resolutionhasbeentaken against re-opening such a process, con-firms Moseneke’s resentment of Mogoeng
and possibly of president Zuma. The criticalquestions that should be everyone’s mindright now is whether Moseneke can be trust-ed working under the orders of Mogoeng orwhetherhewoulddoeverything inhispowerto undermine our next chief justice. If any-thing, I believe the president did the rightthing by not nominating Moseneke for theposition of chief justice.
The constitutional court should not beused as a rubber stamp for the ruling party,but it should also not be used as a replace-ment for parliament. If the courts are beingused to overturn every major decision madein parliament then what is the purpose ofhaving a parliament and going to the pollsevery five years?ROZARIO BROWNEastridge
Thank you, Cape TownI WAS distraught at the loss of four-year-oldInako Kom’s hearing aid after it was stolenrecently, mistakenly as an iPod listeninggadget, but my anguish was soon trans-formed to jubilation when Cape Talk listen-ers opened their hearts and purses to replaceit – a total of R23 000 to replace the hearingaid and plenty to spare. Despite tough eco-nomic times prevailing, the Mother City’sgood Samaritans can always be depended up-on to rise to the occasion, very befittinglygiving of their financial resources to help theneedy or destitute, a phenomenon that well-
known Capetonian philanthropist Jo Max-well can well attest to. Inako’s temporary si-lent world is no more, as she can once againbask in the cacophony of aural pleasure andsounds which we with full hearing abilitytake for granted. Thank you, presenter JohnMaytham and Cape Talkers for “puttingyour money where your mouth is”, in ena-bling Inako to hear again – in celebrating asignificant and commendable spring blos-som of optimism in human nature. May ourgood Lord bless all those who contributed to-wards this random act of kindness.MARK KLEINSCHMDTKenwyn

Bugged residents have their say. In response to the article entitled “Bro-
ken building bugs residents”: Thank you fortackling the sad fate of the once majestic, butnow ramshackle, Oasis building
in Walmer Estate. I suspect (as alluded toin the article) that Oasis deliberately andwilfully allowed the building to fall into itscurrent state of disrepair, so that they couldobtain a demolition order, tear our heritagedown and erect a monstrous town house-type structure which the can sell for a hand-some price. It’s the same strategy they at-tempted to employ at their new offices. Inthat case the City thwarted their evil plans.Let’s keep up the good fight: We need to letmanipulative property development crooksknow that they can’t get away with this wan-ton disregard for what makes our City sospecial: our diverse heritage which is re-flected in our buildings which our ancestorsbuilt.

The sweet sound of successTHE Izivunguvungu Youth Band is backfrom a triumphant appearance at the KnysnaFestival – and already it’s been invited tocross an ocean to play in Germany.
The young musicians stand in for the NavyBand when necessary, and are quickly fol-lowing in the footsteps of that very famousgroup.
Conductor Mike Oldham says he regularlyreceives requests to take the band around thecountry, and has now been invited to travelwith some of them to the Musikschau der Na-tionen in Germany, where he has previouslyappeared with the Navy Band itself.
This is by far his biggest challenge, Mike
says – not least because of the cost involved– but it will be a life-changing experience forthe young musicians who have been selectedfrom the 300 or so Mike teaches in localschools around Ocean View.
He will take just a small group on this firstoverseas venture in January next year, al-though he hopes to receive further invita-tions, as happened with the Navy Band itselfwhen Europeans experienced the infectiousmix of African and martial music.
If you can help make this dream come true,please call Mike directly on 082 445 6857, ortry Admiral Koos Louw at the Naval Base on(021) 787-3831.

A largerthanlife laughCAPE TOWN’S On Broad-way Theatre is set to payhomage to its famous NewYork namesake with a pro-duction of award-winningBroadway show “Fat Pig”,which premieres tonight(Tuesday).
“Fat Pig”, produced locallyby South African actress Lee-Anne Summers and directedby Tamryn Spiers, boasts a lo-cal all-star cast, including“Egoli’s” Chanelle de Jager,Colin Moss, known for hiswork in feature films such as“Number 10” and “The WorldUnseen”, and theatre veteranClayton Boyd.
The play tells the story ofTom, a thirty-something pro-fessional who finds himselfunexpectedly falling in lovewith Helen, a “plus-sized” li-brarian. The show follows the unlikely cou-ple’s budding relationship, and the obstaclesthey face in a society preoccupied with ap-pearances.
“‘Fat Pig’ is, on the surface, a hilariouslycomical play about the way society values ap-pearance,” says Summers. “But, on a deeperlevel, it reveals how people have surrenderedtheir right to choose what they really wantout of life for the purpose of satisfying thepublic perception of the acceptable status
quo. “Audiences worldwide, irrespective oftheir cultural backgrounds, will be able tofind meaning in the message, and I expectSouth African theatregoers to embrace theshow with the same enthusiasm that the restof the world has.”
“Fat Pig” runs until 24 September, with 15shows starting at 20:30. Tickets are R125, andcan be booked through Computicket or OnBroadway directly. For more informationphone 083 630 0566.

Charities to benefit from cycle tourENTRIES for the 35th an-nual Cape Argus Pick n PayCycle Tour officiallyopened on Thursday 1 Sep-tember. The iconic event –the largest timed cyclingevent in the world – willtake place on Sunday 11March 2012.
David Bellairs, CEO of theCape Town Cycle Tour Trust,announced a key departurefor the 2012 event: limiting ofindividual online entries to30 000, and opening the rest tocharities. “Having seen thesuccess achieved by large in-ternational sporting events,like the London and NewYork Marathons, which al-low charities to use theirevents for fundraising, theCape Town Cycle Tour Trustdecided this year to encour-age registered charities andsocial investment projects toenter by purchasing premi-
um rate charity bonds forparticipation.” Explaininghow the charity bonds willwork, Bellairs said a limitednumber of 5 000 entries willbemadeavailable to charitiesand corporates in bonds, withone bond containing 10 en-tries. These will be allocatedon a first-come-first-servedbasis to charities and corpo-rates applying to the CapeTown Cycle Tour Trust. “Thegreat benefit to charities thatpurchase bonds is that theywill be permitted to ‘late en-ter’ the names of their bondparticipants up until 13 Janu-ary 2012 – which is only eightweeks prior to the event,”Bellairs said. Online entriescan be submitted at the CycleTour website at www.cycle-tour.co.za. You’ll need yourID or passport, a valid creditcard, medical aid details andmembership number, and anemergency contact number.
Local sailing crew wins goldLocal sailing crew wins goldTHE CENTURY-OLD LiptonChallenge Cup, contested in thebeautiful waters of Mossel Bay,was won this year in dramaticfashion by False Bay YachtClub’s Team Intasure of Simon’sTown.
Sailing their L26 class yacht, thefull crew, led by co-skippers AndreaGiovannini and Markus Progli,consisted of crew leader Ian MacRobert, Olympic sailor Penny Ali-son as sail trimmer, and Nick Bai-grie and Ollie Van de Pitte handlingmast and bow positions respective-ly.
In a nail-biting charge to the fin-ish in the final race of the event, thecrew crossed the line three boatsahead of defending champion GregDavis, sailing Colorpress for theKnysna Yacht Club. To win theevent the team needed to make surethey finished with at least two boatsbetween themselves and Colorpressin the final race.
For most of the race they re-mained just ahead of Davis, but inthe penultimate leg they made ahuge push and assured victory. Onthe final beat to windward, andwith the finish line in sight, Davismanaged to claw back one position,but this was not quite enough. Gio-vannini and Progli crossed the linewith the required two-boat safetymargin to become the new LiptonCup champions. With their win, thecrew have brought the highest ofhonours in South African sailingonto themselves and their club.
This year’s cup, it was said, wasarguably the tightest and closest re-gatta in the event’s 100-yearhistory.Five different winners emerged outof six races. On points, the top twoyachts and their crews tied for firstplace, but, on breaking the tie,Team Intasure grabbed the win.
In 2012 the event will sail throughFalse Bay, which is considered anideal location, with superb sailingwaters.

A new home for cricket excellenceA new home for cricket excellenceLYNN PRINS
NATIONAL coach and cricketicon Gary Kirsten launched hiscricket academy at ClaremontCricket Club at the beginning ofthe month in conjunction withGio Collusi of Rondebosch’sCricket Academy.
Kirsten, who retired from inter-
national cricket in 2004, made histest debut in 1993 against Australiain Melbourne. He furthered his ca-reer as a coach when he was offereda contract to develop the Indianteam and led them to the the top inthe 2011 world cup.
In June this year, he was appoint-ed head coach for the South Africannational team alongside formerSouthAfrican teammateAllanDon-
ald. Five years ago, Kirsten ap-proached Claremont Cricket Clubwith a vision to develop an interna-tionally recognised cricket acade-my. “I asked the club to go into part-nership, as I wanted to producesomething that could develop intoquality, and I felt it would add valueto the city.”
Says Collusi, “September was thetime to start, and despite the fact
that we’ve had financial battles,we’ve still managed to launch theacademy on time.”
Kirsten and Collusi, with the helpof sponsors, spent R7 million on get-ting the facilities for the new GaryKirsten Cricket Academy up toscratch, and will be looking to in-stall indoor nets soon – for the mo-ment, theWesternProvinceCricketClub is the only local club kitted out
with the luxury of indoor facililties.The Gary Kirsten Cricket Acade-
my offers professional coaching forindividual cricketers, teams andcoaches of various ages and experi-ence levels.
For more information, visitwww.garykirsten.com or contactGio Colussi on 083 759 0376. Alter-natively, email [email protected].
