When Chaeli Mycroft made history asone of the first ever wheelchairboundathletes to complete the gruel-
ling Comrades marathon on Sunday, themanufacturing methods of a local entrepre-neur played a big part in her journey.Her “wheels” were made by an inspiring
mechanically minded maestro from Ken-sington.Zahier Davids, who owns Flywheel Cus-
tomChariots, is proud of his involvement inChaeli’s dream to take part in theComrades.“It was touch and go with this project be-
cause they only received late notice of heracceptance in the race,” he says.“But, I was not going to let them down be-
cause I know what it’s like to have a dreamand fight tooth and nail to achieve it.”For Davids the dream started 16 years ago
when retrenchment forced him to look atother ways of making money to support hisfamily.“Growing up in a community where cus-
tomising bikes and cars was all around you,I was always interested,” he says.His initial dream of studying engineering
and design was cut short by a lack of fundsand Davids went to work in retail.It however all changed when he was re-
trenched.“But I had to put food on the table,” he
says.That’s when he had the idea to restore and
customise a bicycle.“I knew less than nothing,” he jokes.“There was just this dream that I wanted
to make a reality and I pushed ahead askingpeople in themotor trade and friends. It wasmainly trial and error, but my persistencepaid off.“Youmust remember the internet was not
as active back then, but when the bike wasfinished, it attracted a lot of attention in thestreets – and I’ve just been learning andgrowing since then.”
Davids also explains that the quest forlearningwasalso abouthis pursuit of perfec-tion in all of his projects.“There’s no second best for me – if the fin-
ished product is notwhat I had inmind, thenit’s simply not good enough. I pay a lot of at-tention to detail with every nut and bolt onthe bike redone, replaced, or customised.Most of the bikes are original, but we redoalmost everything to achieve specific de-signs.”From those humble beginnings he nowde-
signs and manufactures bikes, includinglow-riders, cruisers, choppers and motor-ised bikes.V Continued on page 2.

GROOTE SCHUUR HOSPITAL
New jointpartnership tochange livesThree patients fromGroote SchuurHospi-
tal, who have been waiting for a hip re-placement for more than three years, wereable to walk out of hospital and into theirnew lives on crutches last Wednesday.They were the first to benefit from a part-
nership between private sector partnersand the Western Cape Government HealthDepartment that aims to address the wait-ing list for joint replacements.Called The Joint Project, this initiative
funds a single theatre day in a state hospitalallowing for four joint surgeries in theatre.This time around one of the patients des-
perately needed a bilateral hip replace-ment, meaning both hips, so in this eventthree patients were operated, although foursurgeries were done.The three patients who benefited are all
younger than 50 andhave lived limited livesfor some years now.Through the additional funding, this ini-
tiative also allows surgeons in training theexposure to assistwithordo joint surgeries.Surgeons in training need to do at least 40joint surgeries towards their surgery quali-fication.In this manner the project also addresses
the challenge of qualifyingdoctors formedi-cal practice.The three patients who benefitted from
the surgery were:. Deon de Bruyn (47) from Lakeside who
suffered from a hip deformity since child-hood and the painful onset of arthritis inhistwenties.He travels every day by train fromhis flat
in Lakeside to his place of employment asa security guard in Ndabeni.Pain is a part of his daily life, taking
batches of painkillers three times a day.Since the beginning of this year he used
a walking stick to support his gait, and tohelp him get on the train.The bilateral hip replacement, meaning
both hips were replaced, will relieve him ofyears of debilitating pain and within threemonths hewill be able to have a normal life,even take up sport.
. Anthea Jacobs, only 37, is a housewifefrom Ottery suffering from avascular ne-crosis (AVN)of the femoral head for thepast10 years. AVN is a pathologic process thatresults from the interruption of blood sup-ply to the bone.After 10 years of a life in pain, Jacobs will
return home and have an active life withher family again. She is married and hasfour children.
. Jasper Hartog (58) lives in Hout Bayand is also relieved to have had a hip re-placement after years of pain caused by ar-thritis.The patients were admitted to Groote
Schuur hospital on Thursday 19 May, andunderwent the surgeries on Friday 20 May.Physiotherapy plays a significant role in
the recovery time and the patient’s abilityto walk normally again.These patientswill undergo intense phys-
iotherapy for the next two to three months,at which time they should be able to leadnormal lives.“We have seen an increase in patients re-
quiring joint operations, but the demandand pressure to have these operations doneoutstrip the available capacity and funds atour hospitals,” says Dr Bhavna Patel, CEOof Groote Schuur hospital.“However, through interventions and
partnerships like these, we are able to helpa few more patients to live normal livesagain.”In his address, Theuns Botha, founder
and director of Spear Health, said this typeof surgery iswidely recognised as one of themost successful operations. “It is sad thatthe state does not have the resources tomatch the demand. In theWestern Cape thewaiting list stands at 4000, and in the coun-try estimated at 35 000. Through The JointProject we want to create capacity for morejoint surgeries, and invite potential fundersto join our cause.”Thepartners joininghands for the project
are the Western Cape Government Depart-ment ofHealth,Groote SchuurHospital, theJoint Care Trust, Johnson & Johnson andDrs Schnetler, Corbett & Partners.The project is facilitated by Spear Health,
recently established byBotha, formerWest-ern CapeMinister of Health, to source fund-ing in the private sector for vulnerable statepatients who fall outside of government’sbudget net.In order to have one theatre day per
month, Spear Health needs more funders tojoin hands for The Joint Project, and invitescorporates or individuals to contact themfor this cause.V For more information call Hélène Rossouw on082 771 8834.

“I have been lucky to have built a reputa-tion for craftsmanship, so I get asked todo custom jobs on rare vintage bicycles,special bikes for branding aswell asworkfor prop suppliers in the film industry,”he says.“Therehasalsobeenaneed tomanufac-
ture vending bikes for both commercialand small businesses in and around theCBD which go in line with efforts to re-duce the number of cars on the road. Mybikes have also been used in films andmusic videos.”While Davids’ designs continue to
catch the attention of the public he stilldreams of growing the business into amanufacturing plant.
“That is an ultimate dream, I want toput more people on my bikes,” he says.“It’s a difficult process and I ampatient,
but I am getting there.”Davids is also passionate about being a
positive role model in the community.“I have a team of BMX riders and we
do demonstrations with the motorisedbuggies at festivals, carnivals andschools.“At these events I also give a motiva-
tional talk to the youth to tell them thatthey must fill their minds with positivedreams. Crime and drugs have no part intheir future.”V For more information Davids can be contactedon 076 501 2300.

Liquor officersappointedNICOLE MCCAIN
@nickymccain
Five new designated liquor officers (DLOs)have been appointed at Cape Town Cen-
tral Police Station.The appointments come after a request for
more manpower to deal with the 705 liquoroutlets in the precinct – a number signifi-cantly larger than most other precincts.
Legislation allowed the appointment ofonly one DLO to each precinct, explainsCape Town Central spokesperson Ezra Octo-ber.
This was regardless of the station size andthe number of establishments in its precinctthat are licensed, adds Community PolicingForum spokesperson Nicola Jowell.
‘The Western Cape Liquor AmendmentAct has a number of essential clauses thatwill make the successful policing of licensedpremises far more achievable.
“The Act has been pending for quite sometime and we are extremely grateful that cer-tain sections have now been promulgated.The changes allowed the provincial commis-sioner to appoint as many DLOs as he deemsnecessary,” she says.
The new DLOs will conduct complianceinspections and will be able to monitor out-lets after hours, October says.
The number of liquor outlets in the pre-cinct is growing monthly, explains Jowell.
“Every month we are seeing new applica-tions for liquor licenses being made. So itis not a static number in the city but a grow-ing concern and a more complex problem,”she says.
“Cape Town Central monitors around700 premises – now you can imagine howimpossible it is for one DLO to even startpolicing that number, let alone make anyreal impact.”
Although it is too soon to measure the im-pact of the new appointments, Jowell hashigh hopes for improved policing.
“We are confident in the calibre of policemembers who have been appointed and weknow that there will be a positive effect,”she says.
“Up to now it’s been impossible to haveproper policing of establishments that sellliquor as you need the capabilities of a DLOalmost 24 hours a day.
“With these additional members we willbe much closer to that situation.”
Breaking communications barriers overfreshly brewed coffee is the order of theday at a new coffee shop in Claremont.
I Love Coffee, South Africa’s first deaf-run coffee shop, will officially open itsdoors in Cape Town this month. In part-nership with Tribe Coffee, the entirelydeaf-run coffee shop launches with theaim of breaking communication barri-ers between the hearing and the deaf.
The idea is the brainchild of social en-trepreneur Gary Hopkins, who explainsthe shop offers an experience unlike anyother, where customers are encouragedto engage verbally as well as visuallywith the deaf staff. Patrons will be giventhe opportunity to be taught rudimenta-ry sign language to place their ordersand engage with the staff.
“It’s more than just coffee shop space,it’s about a mind shift and correcting theperception that deaf people are disabled.Deafness isn’t a disease and should berecognised as a culture – much likeAmerican, Italian, South African etcet-era,” he says.
Of the estimated two million disabledpeople in South Africa, 500 000 are classi-fied as “deaf” and almost one and a halfmillion South Africans are considered tobe “hearing impaired”, which meansthat 4.5% of South Africa’s total popula-tion is deaf.
While South Africa recognises 11 offi-cial verbal and written languages, it hasyet to recognise South African Sign Lan-guage (SASL), the visual language thatis common across all South African deafpeople. This in turn has deeper social im-plications as it limits opportunities fortertiary education and results in highunemployment among the deaf.
Hopkins adds that most people knowvery little about deaf culture and evenfewer understand it.
“We are hoping that by bringing an or-dinary everyday experience like order-ing a cup of coffee or a toasted sandwichwith the use of sign language or by ser-vice expectation being met, we can bringa better understanding about the capa-bility of the deaf,” he says.
“The I Love Coffee brand aims to becool, fun and engaging and is not out togarner a sympathy vote. We specificallychose a fun name and incorporated deaflanguage into the brand by replacing theheart symbol with the SASL sign for ‘ILove You’,” says Hopkins.
“We have had incredible support fromWestern Cape Premier, Helen Zille, whomost don’t know has a deaf sister, as wellas The National Institute for the Deafwho has assisted us with the recruitmentof staff and are receiving barista train-ing from Tribe Coffee.”
DeafSA, the non-profit organisationthat acts as the national research, infor-mation and community action organisa-tion on behalf of more than 600 000 SouthAfricans who are culturally and linguis-tically deaf, have assisted in bringingthis project to life.
On choosing the venue, Hopkinspoints out that the decision to launch ina gym in Claremont was a conscious onewith a long-term view to expand the na-tional footprint of the brand as well ashaving to launch on a very tight budget.
“This entire project has been self-fund-ed with the assistance of some reallygreat partners, and – as we get closer toopening – we have other activities thatwill assist us in getting the brand off theground,” Hopkins adds.
“We are running a crowd funding cam-paign and fundraising event so we areable to purchase more equipment.”
Hopkins adds that the coffee shop andthe ‘I Love Coffee’ brand will help changehow the world engages with the deaf.V The shop will open for business on Monday 6June and is based at X-Body Fitness, The Mews,Draper Street. Visit www.ilovecoffeeshop.co.za

Help keep little oneswrapped up this winterWith winter in full swing, it’s time towarm more than the hearts of children inneed.
The Kidz2kidz organisation, based inClaremont, is running its annualWarmth2kidz drive until the end of June.
Purchase and donate one blanket tothis cause to help thaw the winter chillthat is already upon us.
Lisa Levy of Kidz2kidz says their ideais to wrap these children, who are less for-tunate than most, in the warmth of loveand the joy of giving.
“Through keeping them warm, we cansupport them to reach their full poten-tial,” she says.
According to Levy, staying warm is es-sential to staying healthy, a restfulnight’s sleep, increased attendance atschool and better concentration and fo-cus on learning.
“In the long term this programme alsohelps the teachers, who struggle with ba-sic resources, to focus on laying the foun-dation for passionate learners who couldchange their own fortunes and futures,”she says.
To truly experience the power of giving,any individual, school, community orcorporate company is encouraged to as-sist.
The process of rectifying underre-sourced schools relies on normal peopleliving normal lives, from all walks of life,starting to do extraordinary things.Teaching this message to children is howit genuinely takes hold.
Levy is also encouraging groups offriends to band together to participate.
“Snuggle up and host a bring-a-blanketstyle event such as a movie night, a souplunch or a coffee/hot chocolate morningwhere everyone brings a blanket ormakes a monetary donation as the en-trance fee,” she says.
“Encourage everyone to make a per-sonalised tag to attach to the gift, or emailus at [email protected] and we willsend you a tag.
“If you prefer to make a monetary dona-tion you can go online for more informa-tion.”V For more information about the project [email protected] or call Dee on 083 460 4449.

Over R270m worth of investment is setto be pumped into the CBD over the
next few years.Seven new developments have been an-
nounced since January, the Cape TownCentral City Improvement District an-nounced at a recent business breakfast.Of the seven developments, the cost of
only three is known: The College of CapeTown’s R19m development in BuitenkantStreet, Raya Hotels’ development of theR200m Capetonian Hotel on Heerengrachtand theR50mdevelopment of theGorgeousGeorge Hotel/Bar in St Georges Mall.The cost of the Telkom Exchange Fore-
shore development – planned for LowerLongStreet,Mike’s SportsRedevelopment,the Spindle development on the corner of
Spin and Plein streets and Roggebaai Cen-tre are still to be released.This brings the total number of develop-
ments in the CBD – planned, under con-struction and completed – to 33, accordingthe CCID’s annual publication and invest-ment guide,TheState of CapeTownCentralCity Report.The CCID has published the annual in-
vestment guide for the past four years,tracking the growth of various businessand leisure sectors, as well as the rise ofgeographical nodes in the Central City.In terms of the former, the legal, crea-
tive, financial, health-care and publishingsectors had already been identified overthe years as strong contributors to theCBD’s economy.Overall property values in the CBD have
also increased substantially, says CCIDchairperson Rob Kane.
“In 2006, the City’s official valuation ofthe downtown sat at just over R6.1bn. Bythe 2014/15 financial year, this official val-uation had risen to close to R24bn.“By the end of 2015, when the latest re-
port went to print, we estimated conserva-tively that another R8.2bn would be addedto this figure over the next five years, witha total valuation close to R32bn by 2020across 26 projects,” he says.Since January, the CCIDhas received re-
ports of at least another sevendevelopmentprojects coming on board, says Kane.“We do not yet know what they will add
to the R32bn, but it does illustrate how in-tensively the CBD is changing – and acrossits entire footprint, from the Foreshore tothe older part of the CBD.”The developments range across a num-
ber of sectors and also incorporate both re-furbishments and newdevelopments, says
the report author and CCID communica-tions manager, Carola Koblitz.And they are equally exciting in terms
of the impact that they will have, she be-lieves.“Firstly, refurbishments demonstrate
investor confidence of owners who cur-rently have investments in the CBD beingprepared not only to stay in the area butto improve their facilities. New invest-ments show that there are either new bod-ies wanting to invest in an areawhere theyhave not invested before, or expand theirexisting investments because – again –they have confidence in the future of thearea,” Koblitz explains.“New developments bring more footfall
in theCBDandrefurbishments ensure thatthese facilities and venues remain placeswhere people want to be and spend theirdays – or their rands.”

A Rwandian refugee artist and car guard atthe Constantia Village shopping centre ispresenting his third exhibition in a series ofCape landscapes at the shopping centre.Erick Karangwa from Retreat, who has
been in the country for more than 10 years,has always wanted to be an artist.His exhibition started on Sunday will be
will end today (Tuesday) at 17:00Karangwa is a landscape artist. As a land-
scape artist he must explore the Cape’s sur-rounding mountains, rivers and beaches toexpand on his subject matter, but with onlyabicycle at his disposal his options are limit-ed.While at work as a car guard he’d regular-
ly walk past the centre’s art gallery on hisbreak to admire a painting in the windowdone by Cape Town artist Andrew Cooper.Karangwa says: “I was in awe of this man.I wanted to paint like him and I wished Icould meet him some day.”Constantia Village shopping centre man-
agement noticed Karangwa’s art and offeredto host his first solo exhibition in the centre.He sold all of his artwork. This led to a news-paper article in which hementioned Cooperas the artist he admired.Cooper read the article and was humbled
by what Karangwa had to say about him.Cooper decided to find Karangwa and in-
troduce himself. “He literally tapped me onthe shoulder and told me who he was. I wasshocked. I couldn’t believe that this was theman I considered my idol.”The two men chatted for a long time and
Cooper agreed to become his mentor.Cooper says Karangwa is a hugely talent-
ed artist.“I believe he has great potential and I’m
happy to help himoutwhere andwhen I can.What makes Erick such a pleasure to teachis his desire to improve. He handles criti-cism well and I can tell he listens to my ad-vice. He applies what I tell him and I can seethe improvements from one week to thenext.”Every session Cooper spends with him is
unique. He teaches him about light and howit changes at different times of the day, howto blend colours to achieve the ideal atmos-phere and the importance of composition.While this is all wonderfully creative, Coop-er also advises Karangwa about themore se-rious side of being an artist, like how tomar-ket himself, what prices to sell his paintingsfor, the importance of interpersonal commu-nication and most importantly budgeting.He is also told time and again that the key
to becoming a successful artist is having pa-tience and accepting criticism.Cooper cautions young artists not to ap-
proach galleries too soon.Karangwa’s style is not traditional Afri-
can, which as an African artist already putshim ahead of the curve.“In the townships there aremany talented
artists, but they all paint or sketch in thesame style using similar subject matter.They are also not willing to accept criticismfrom anyone and as long as people buy theirpaintings, that’s all they’re interested in. Iwant to improve my skill all the time andhopefully one day I’ll earn the same respectas an artist like Cooper and earn enoughmoney to never have to guard cars again.”Karangwa only occasionally guards cars
now, but can mostly rely on the sale of hispaintings to eat, pay the rent and buy newmaterials to produce more artwork.

FacingfearsSometimes, halfway through a conversa-tion with a man, I find we can’t relate toeach other at all.It’s not because we might have different
cultures, religions or backgrounds.My reasoning makes no sense to him be-
cause everything I have ever been taughtas woman comes from a place of fear.This is something many men cannot re-
late to – they have been taught to be strong,aggressive, persistent and ambitious.They have been taught that men settle
arguments with each otherwith a fight anda beer, that “rough” and “tough” are admi-rable qualities and that they should go afterwhat they want and fight for it.These are the very qualities women are
taught, from a very young age, to fear.Little girls are taught to go to the toilet
in groups by theirmothers, because it’s saf-er.At 18, my best friend justified her choice
to wear pants when going out “because it’ssafer than a skirt and you never knowwhatmight happen”.I still tell someonewhen I leavework, “in
case something happens to me”.It’s not an ungrounded fear. In 2011, the
Medical Research Council found South Af-rica has a female homicide rate six timesthe global average, with half the murderedwomen killed by an intimate partner.Perhaps it’s time to stop brushing aside
these fears – on both sides – and start ad-dressing them. Both men and women needto take responsibility in how they raisetheir children.Don’t tell you child that pulling hair is
a sign that a boy likes a girl. Teach theminstead that emotions are to be respectedand positive ways to show them.Don’t teachyour children thatmasculini-
ty is to be aggressive and that physical vio-lence, in any form, is an acceptable outlet.Instead teach them to protect those morevulnerable and channel their emotionsconstructively.And finally, acknowledge the fear so
many of us women live in. We’re not beingirrational, we’re being cautious.With at least 43% of women having expe-
rienced intimate partner violence, we havea reason to be scared.

TV licence hasslesI am interested in hearing if otherreaders have been experiencing harass-ment to pay for television licences whenit is already paid. Both my daughter andI are being asked to pay again despitehaving done so. Is there a problem withthe accounting system? As a pensioner Ican’t pay twice a year for the service.

Election candidatesshould careWith the build up towards the localelections, as a community leader andworker, I am gravely concerned aboutthe fact that political parties presentcandidates who in most cases have nevershown any interest in the developmentand upliftment of the community.Surely a candidate should be one who
has a track record of community in-volvement, who is in good standing withthe citizens, is upright in his daily walk,be a person who others can relate to andone who understands the dynamics ofcommunity challenges.Surely the candidate should be rooted
in the soil of the community he standsto serve, should have clean hands and bea person of principles.One who believes in the cause, one
who advocates clean governance andbelieves in real service for the communi-ty? Above all, preferably someone withno criminal record.Surely a candidate can’t just develop a
heart for the people overnight, pop up atsoup kitchens and meetings, greet andsmile with everyone he comes acrossand declare himself a worthy candidate.
If the political party and its leadershave integrity, a clear vision andmission, believe in its course and rootedin principles, your candidate shoulddefinitely be a reflection of such.
Identify and present a candidate withgenuine intentions, one who believes inthe course and not the benefit. Presentto us your best.One who you as a partyhave no doubt would serve our people.Present to us as the community one
who we can identify with. One whounderstands the needs, challenges anddemands.
Present to us one who will continue tostand with us even if the outcome of theelection is not in his/her favour.Because if you don’t, we will not
partner, we will not support, we willfight our own battles.
To the political leaders and parties Isay, don’t just think for this time, thinkahead.
What and who you present today canbe your greatest move or become yourworst nightmare.

Criminals protectedI agree with Rod Toerien (“Animals are alot nicer than people”, People’s Post 24May). The death sentence is alive andwell in South Africa but sadly onlyapplies to innocent people who neverhave the opportunity to defend them-selves in court.In keeping with the judiciary, criminals
receive more protection.Chris Charles should be careful when
making comparisons with non-Africancountries. In many cases a mandatorylife sentence applies with no chance ofparole and many have argued that isworse than a death penalty. I think thisapplies to Canada and many US states.
Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia,to name a few in our subregion havenothing approaching our violent crime.They all have the death penalty and jailis jail not “correctional services”. I haveyet to meet someone from Chikurube inZimbabwe, or Kamfinsa in Zambia whowould go back to those jails.

CapeMalay Choir Board deserves praiseThe recent Cape Malay Choir Board TopEight competition was exhilarating asthe Ottomans team overwhelmed thecrowd that attended this year’s event.
The professionalism and utter commit-ment to detail was obvious with thepassion and energy that was so electrify-ing as the eight teams sung to theabsolute joy of the crowd.
Every member of all the teams sungwith such confidence that they deserve
salutation.Shafick April and his board must once
again be commended on hosting andorganising a magnificent effort undervery difficult circumstances.
Sadly the festivities of so manydecades were moved from its traditionalhistoric home at the Good Hope Centreto the very distant velodrome in Bell-ville.
Since our national broadcaster SABC
has decided that 90% of all music mustbe local content I wait in great anticipa-tion to hear the voices of the YoungCaballeros, Boarding Boys and otherchoirs reaching out across South Africa.For far too long, the talent of local
choirs have been denied a nationalaudience because of financial con-straints.

With National Bipolar DisorderAwarenessDayobservedonWednes-
day 25 May, the local health departmentset out to demystify the misconceptionsabout the disorder.Many individuals living with a mental
illness face a number of challenges – notonly do they struggle with the symptomsand disabilities that result from the dis-ease, but they are also challenged by thestereotypes and prejudices that resultfrom the many misconceptions aboutmental illness.Known globally as the 6th leading cause
of disability in theworld, bipolar disorderaffects about 1% of South Africans.In light of the awareness day, and the
often silent blight undiagnosed sufferersand their families endure, greater aware-ness and education are needed to bust themany myths and associated stigmas thatsurround Bipolar Disorder, says Christi-aan Verster, psychiatrist at LentegeurHospital.Verster saysbecausebipolar disorder is
one of the more severe mental illnesses,it is often misunderstood. “Bipolar disor-der sufferers experience a range of emo-tions – from depression and despair, tomanic feelings of joy, enthusiasmand lossof inhibitions. Because it is not a blackandwhite disorder, it is oftenhard todiag-nose at first glance,” he says. “Diagnosingbipolar disorder is the crucial first step,and it’s a far more difficult issue to diag-
nose thanmost othermental illnesses. Noblood test or brain scan can determine thepresence of Bipolarity. Medical officersrely on detailed accounts of a patient’smood, sleeping patterns, energy levelsand behaviour from family members.”
Verster says many individuals believethat being diagnosed with bipolar disor-der is a life sentence, but although the dis-order is incurable, it is treatable andman-ageable. “The biggest misconception isthat individuals suffering from bipolardisorder arenot able to live ‘normal’ lives.However, with the correct medication,support and therapy, all bipolar disordersufferers are able to live fulfilled and pro-ductive lives,” he explains.
It is crucial for both the patient and fam-ily members to do research and educatethemselves about the illness,he adds.
“Another misconception is that medi-cine is the only way to control bipolar dis-order. However, family and a supportstructureplayan integral role inassistingindividuals with bipolar disorder manag-ing their illness. Regulating your lifewithscheduled times for eating, sleeping andexercise will assist sufferers in minimis-ing the likelihood, duration or severity ofan episode. It is also important to identifythe red flags that may cause an episode.This will assist sufferers and their familyto stay clear of such triggers.”
Although the cause of bipolar disorderis determined by genetic predisposition,
Verster highlights that many young indi-viduals who use substances such as mari-juana andmethamphetaminemay inducethe illness. “Substance abuse continues toplay a major role in patients with mentalillnesses, with approximately 50% of pa-tients abusing substances such as mari-juana, methamphetamine and alcohol.We often see young individuals with bipo-lar disorder who have a history of sub-stance abuse. They may drink alcohol orabuse drugs to ease the uncomfortablesymptoms of their mood swings,” ex-plains Verster.
Verster notes that often sufferers don’trealise they have a problem. “If an indi-vidual is suffering from a mental healthcondition, initial treatment can be offeredfollowing theassessment of ahealthwork-er by simply visiting a local clinic. It isimportant to always be sensitive to thefeelings of these individuals who may beliving with a mental condition, and re-member that it takes an expert to diag-nose any illness,” he says. “If the diagno-sis points to bipolar disorder, or anothermental illness for that matter, treatmentis always available. Treatment may in-cludemedication as well as short term in-dividual or group counselling and sup-port. The mental health nurse may con-sult with the regional psychologist orpsychiatrist (or other members of the re-gional mental health team) when addi-tional expertise is required.”

Both my daughter andI are being asked to pay again despitehaving done so. Is there a problem withthe accounting system? As a pensioner Ican’t pay twice a year for the service.

Election candidatesshould careWith the build up towards the localelections, as a community leader andworker, I am gravely concerned aboutthe fact that political parties presentcandidates who in most cases have nevershown any interest in the developmentand upliftment of the community.Surely a candidate should be one who
has a track record of community in-volvement, who is in good standing withthe citizens, is upright in his daily walk,be a person who others can relate to andone who understands the dynamics ofcommunity challenges.Surely the candidate should be rooted
in the soil of the community he standsto serve, should have clean hands and bea person of principles.One who believes in the cause, one
who advocates clean governance andbelieves in real service for the communi-ty? Above all, preferably someone withno criminal record.Surely a candidate can’t just develop a
heart for the people overnight, pop up atsoup kitchens and meetings, greet andsmile with everyone he comes acrossand declare himself a worthy candidate.
If the political party and its leadershave integrity, a clear vision andmission, believe in its course and rootedin principles, your candidate shoulddefinitely be a reflection of such.
Identify and present a candidate withgenuine intentions, one who believes inthe course and not the benefit. Presentto us your best.One who you as a partyhave no doubt would serve our people.Present to us as the community one
who we can identify with. One whounderstands the needs, challenges anddemands.
Present to us one who will continue tostand with us even if the outcome of theelection is not in his/her favour.Because if you don’t, we will not
partner, we will not support, we willfight our own battles.
To the political leaders and parties Isay, don’t just think for this time, thinkahead.
What and who you present today canbe your greatest move or become yourworst nightmare.

Criminals protectedI agree with Rod Toerien (“Animals are alot nicer than people”, People’s Post 24May). The death sentence is alive andwell in South Africa but sadly onlyapplies to innocent people who neverhave the opportunity to defend them-selves in court.In keeping with the judiciary, criminals
receive more protection.Chris Charles should be careful when
making comparisons with non-Africancountries. In many cases a mandatorylife sentence applies with no chance ofparole and many have argued that isworse than a death penalty. I think thisapplies to Canada and many US states.
Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia,to name a few in our subregion havenothing approaching our violent crime.They all have the death penalty and jailis jail not “correctional services”. I haveyet to meet someone from Chikurube inZimbabwe, or Kamfinsa in Zambia whowould go back to those jails.

CapeMalay Choir Board deserves praiseThe recent Cape Malay Choir Board TopEight competition was exhilarating asthe Ottomans team overwhelmed thecrowd that attended this year’s event.
The professionalism and utter commit-ment to detail was obvious with thepassion and energy that was so electrify-ing as the eight teams sung to theabsolute joy of the crowd.
Every member of all the teams sungwith such confidence that they deserve
salutation.Shafick April and his board must once
again be commended on hosting andorganising a magnificent effort undervery difficult circumstances.
Sadly the festivities of so manydecades were moved from its traditionalhistoric home at the Good Hope Centreto the very distant velodrome in Bell-ville.
Since our national broadcaster SABC
has decided that 90% of all music mustbe local content I wait in great anticipa-tion to hear the voices of the YoungCaballeros, Boarding Boys and otherchoirs reaching out across South Africa.For far too long, the talent of local
choirs have been denied a nationalaudience because of financial con-straints.

With National Bipolar DisorderAwarenessDayobservedonWednes-
day 25 May, the local health departmentset out to demystify the misconceptionsabout the disorder.Many individuals living with a mental
illness face a number of challenges – notonly do they struggle with the symptomsand disabilities that result from the dis-ease, but they are also challenged by thestereotypes and prejudices that resultfrom the many misconceptions aboutmental illness.Known globally as the 6th leading cause
of disability in theworld, bipolar disorderaffects about 1% of South Africans.In light of the awareness day, and the
often silent blight undiagnosed sufferersand their families endure, greater aware-ness and education are needed to bust themany myths and associated stigmas thatsurround Bipolar Disorder, says Christi-aan Verster, psychiatrist at LentegeurHospital.Verster saysbecausebipolar disorder is
one of the more severe mental illnesses,it is often misunderstood. “Bipolar disor-der sufferers experience a range of emo-tions – from depression and despair, tomanic feelings of joy, enthusiasmand lossof inhibitions. Because it is not a blackandwhite disorder, it is oftenhard todiag-nose at first glance,” he says. “Diagnosingbipolar disorder is the crucial first step,and it’s a far more difficult issue to diag-
nose thanmost othermental illnesses. Noblood test or brain scan can determine thepresence of Bipolarity. Medical officersrely on detailed accounts of a patient’smood, sleeping patterns, energy levelsand behaviour from family members.”
Verster says many individuals believethat being diagnosed with bipolar disor-der is a life sentence, but although the dis-order is incurable, it is treatable andman-ageable. “The biggest misconception isthat individuals suffering from bipolardisorder arenot able to live ‘normal’ lives.However, with the correct medication,support and therapy, all bipolar disordersufferers are able to live fulfilled and pro-ductive lives,” he explains.
It is crucial for both the patient and fam-ily members to do research and educatethemselves about the illness,he adds.
“Another misconception is that medi-cine is the only way to control bipolar dis-order. However, family and a supportstructureplayan integral role inassistingindividuals with bipolar disorder manag-ing their illness. Regulating your lifewithscheduled times for eating, sleeping andexercise will assist sufferers in minimis-ing the likelihood, duration or severity ofan episode. It is also important to identifythe red flags that may cause an episode.This will assist sufferers and their familyto stay clear of such triggers.”
Although the cause of bipolar disorderis determined by genetic predisposition,
Verster highlights that many young indi-viduals who use substances such as mari-juana andmethamphetaminemay inducethe illness. “Substance abuse continues toplay a major role in patients with mentalillnesses, with approximately 50% of pa-tients abusing substances such as mari-juana, methamphetamine and alcohol.We often see young individuals with bipo-lar disorder who have a history of sub-stance abuse. They may drink alcohol orabuse drugs to ease the uncomfortablesymptoms of their mood swings,” ex-plains Verster.
Verster notes that often sufferers don’trealise they have a problem. “If an indi-vidual is suffering from a mental healthcondition, initial treatment can be offeredfollowing theassessment of ahealthwork-er by simply visiting a local clinic. It isimportant to always be sensitive to thefeelings of these individuals who may beliving with a mental condition, and re-member that it takes an expert to diag-nose any illness,” he says. “If the diagno-sis points to bipolar disorder, or anothermental illness for that matter, treatmentis always available. Treatment may in-cludemedication as well as short term in-dividual or group counselling and sup-port. The mental health nurse may con-sult with the regional psychologist orpsychiatrist (or other members of the re-gional mental health team) when addi-tional expertise is required.”

Fish Hoek-based surfski star JasperMocké raced onto the podium at the fa-bled Maui Jim Molokai Challenge in
Hawaii on Sunday 29 May, finishing thirdand completing an all-South African podi-um. The race was held in very tough hotweather and on a flat ocean that offered thepaddlers no assistance on the 53 km crossingbetween the islands of Molokai and Oahu.
A delighted but exhausted Mocké saidfrom the finish at the Maunalua Beach Parkthat he was thrilled with the result at the endof a nail biting, tough slog that quickly sawthe top five paddlers breaking away at thefront. “It was a hot, flat, tough, brutal racefor me,” said the Euro Steel/Epic Kayaksace. “Five of us – myself, Hank (McGregor),Cory (Hill), Sean (Rice) and Clint (Robinson)all found our own niche, and it really wasa story of five guys doing their own thing.
“To do well today you needed to be effi-cient and try and use whatever the oceangave you – which wasn’t much – and maybefrom about twenty kays from the finish youcould start catching bumps, but they weren’tlinking so you had to work hard to get anybenefit.
“I was sitting in third/fourth most of theway and Clint (Robinson) and I were reallyracing for fourth place. I managed to comepast him with about ten kays to go,” said
Mocké.He said that his shot at making the podium
came when defending champion Cory Hill ofAustralia, who was dicing with eventualwinner Hank McGregor for the lead, madea mistake at the reef at China Walls, withinsight of the finish.
“Unfortunately for Cory he rode a wavetoo far at China Walls and broke his rudderoff over the reef, which jumped me up anoth-er spot,” he said.
“I am happy. I felt that I left it all out there.I will definitely be back to try and improve,”he said.
McGregor bagged his third win in thetough event, widely regarded as the de-factoworld championship of ultra distance surf-ski racing, with Capetonians Rice andMocké helping to make up an all-South Afri-can podium at the event for the first time.
The women’s race was dominated byQueenslander Liz Pluimers, finishing fif-teen minute ahead of Kiwi Rachel Clarke,with another Australian Tania Moohin com-pleting the women’s podium.Results:1.

The crowd that made their way to CapeTown’s Killarney Race Track for thefourth round of the of the DEOD SuperGPChampions Trophy on Saturday 28 Maywere treated to some of the most excitingbike racing seen on a South African cir-cuit for years. While the victors may befamiliar faces on the top step of the podi-um this season, they were all made towork for their wins.
Mathew Scholtz and his ETR NashuaYamaha R1 left the Western Cape with abigger lead in the SuperGP champion-ship after winning both races and settinga new lap record in the process.
Scholtz headed an all Yamaha frontrow after Friday qualifying with ClintSeller (Neolife Yamaha R1) and MichaelWhite (Consortium Shipping Yamaha R1)joining him. Nicolaas Grobler headed thesecond row of the grid with the Kawa-sakis of Greg Gidenhuys (Kreepy Krauly)and Capetonian Brandon Haupt(MxClean) alongside him.
Coming into this round Lance Isaacshas won every SuperMasters Interpro-vincial race this season.
He kept that 100% winning record in-tact with another two victories. In the ab-
sence of Steven Odendaal – he is on inter-national duty in Spain – Adolf Boshoffwas expected to break the tie at the topof the Super600 championship log.
This he did but he had to work a lotharder than he anticipated.
SuperJuniorTyreece Robert (Autostyling Indy Oil)
was the quickest of the SuperJunior bri-gade during qualifying, taking pole fromchampionship leader Brandon Staffenand Dominic Doyle (Techron Systems).
Aiden Liebenberg (Fercor Construc-tion) was next up, heading the second rowof the grid from Jared Schultz (ASAPWorld) and Luca Coccioni (RAD KTM).
The opening race developed into a four-way battle which eventually went theway of Staffen with Robert and Schultz inthe other podium positions.
Liebenberg, Chase Hulcher (EXIS En-gineering) and Coccioni rounded out thetop six.
The teams and riders in the SuperGPChampions Trophy now have a nine-week break before the next round whichwill take place at Red Star Raceway inDelmas on Saturday 30 July.
