A single mother of two is pleading forhelp after a fire burnt down her home,which she shares with her children

and two grandchildren, last week.Though the cause of the fire is unknown

Louw is glad that all her children andgrandchildren are safe, but she says this isa bad start to a new year.

“I’m theonlybreadwinner formychildrenand grandchildren. I’m very frustrated andtraumatised about what happened. I don’teven know how I will deal with this. We arereally struggling tomake endsmeet; now it’seven worse without a roof over our heads.We really need help,” says Louw.

Since the fire they have been sleeping atfriends’ places. She is especially worriedabout her five-month-old grandchild who isepileptic.

“My friend has been so helpful. We gothere for food and a place to sleep. She can’thelp us all; my children have to sleep at theirfriends. It would be nice if we could get helpand go back home. We have been trying toclean up, but a lot still needs to be done,” shesays.

After hearing about the fire, Ricardo vanNiekerk, the founder and chairperson of

Factreton Development Community, hasbeen trying to help the family.

“This is something devastating to happento anyone; and the mother is a single parent.After the incident she has been very frus-trated and we are calling on those who canhelp us rebuild her home to come forward.We have helped them with clothes, beddingand toiletries but they still need ceilingboards and repainting of the house and elec-trical repairs,” says Van Niekerk.V Those who want to help can contact Van Niekerkon 060 325 8698 or [email protected].

Patients try out horse playMove over, man’s best friend. There’s a

new animal bringing comfort and treat-ment to patients, specifically individualswith mental health problems.Equine assisted psychotherapy (EAP) is

being piloted at Valkenberg hospital.Six male forensic patients, mainly with a

diagnosis of schizophrenia, have been se-lected for the pilot, says Nafisa Abdulla,chief occupational therapist at ValkenbergHospital.“These patients were socially withdrawn

and did not engage spontaneously, they hadno major cognitive deficits and some ofthem have a history of aggressive behav-iour,” she says.Over an eight week period, patients are

able to interact with the horses and partici-pate in therapeutic exercises via groomingor setting out obstacles, either in pairs orin groups. “The aim of the pilot project isto improve the participants’ ability to workand function in a group, decrease irritabili-ty and aggressive behaviour, while improv-ing interpersonal and social skills. Al-thoughminor, my team and I have seen dis-tinctive improvements in the selectedpatients during the course of the pro-gramme,” says Abdulla.With similar social and responsivebehav-

iour to humans, horses have been noted tobe a hugely beneficial mechanism in thera-py sessions for individuals with a varietyof emotional and mental health issues, saysFiona Bromfield, a trustee at the EquinoxTrust.The Trust is a registered non-governmen-

tal organisation (NGO) that specialises inEAP and equine assisted therapy (EAT).Although there are many forms of EAT,

EAP specifically focuses on the emotionaland mental health of participants.“EAP is an innovative and creative meth-

od for addressing a wide range of therapeu-tic and emotional needs in individuals. It isa short-term, collaborative effort between amental health professional and a horse pro-fessional. Strategic activities are estab-lished for the participant to partake in withthe horse, excluding riding,” explainsBromfield.Although animal-assisted therapy isn’t

uncommon,horses respondandreact differ-ently to other animals, she explains.Because horses are herd and prey ani-

mals, they are highly attuned to changes innon-verbal communication in order tomaintain the safety of the herd.

Horse language“Horses are able to accurately assess the

state of being of an individual and commu-nicate it non-verbally. Thus, these animalsmake great companions for psychotherapy,because they can mirror and instantly re-spond to human behaviour. There’s also ahealing bond that can develop between hu-mans and horses. EAPutilises this relation-ship with the horse as a tool tomirror a par-ticipant’s experiences and facilitate changeand development. Participants are able tocompare their experiences with the horsesto their real-life experiences.”Bromfield says unlike traditional talk

therapy, EAP is a unique method which en-ables participants to learn about them-selves while they interact with the horse.The observed feelings, behaviours and

patterns are discussed.“EAP is unique in that it does not require

clients to ride or get on to the horses; in-stead, clients are presentedwith semi-struc-tured tasks, such as to catch and halter thehorse, move it around and get the horse towalk through and over obstacles. It is theinterpretations that participants assign tothe interactions with the horses that pro-vide vehicles for making therapeutic im-provements,” she explains.The therapist, in turn, takes the partici-

pants’ interpretations from their horse in-teractions and crafts metaphors, which areused during and after the therapy sessionsto help participants with developing and re-trieving emotional and behavioural re-sponses.

Interpretation“Thismetaphorical process is self-reflect-

ive, encouraging participants to develop in-sight and supporting the identification andexpression of thoughts, behaviour and emo-tions. It is the stories which emerge fromthese metaphors that enable our pro-grammes to have a lasting impact and ena-ble the client to take what he learns wheninteracting with these horses back to hislife,” she says.The process engages participants on a

physical, mental and emotional level simul-taneously, Bromfield says.“As humans we remember 20% of what

wehear, 50%ofwhatwe see and80%ofwhatwe do; thus, our actions are the reasons ex-periential learning is so effective.”The Equinox Trust team hasworkedwith

a variety of individuals, including children,families, recovering addicts, abusedwomenand individuals looking for an alternativeto traditional therapies.

Equine therapy is being piloted at Valkenberg hospital. Here are Nafisa Abdulla, chief occupational therapist at Valkenberg, Fiona Bromfield,trustee at the Equinox Trust, Dr Marc Roffey, psychiatrist at Valkenberg, Noeline Nune, occupational therapy technician at Valkenberg, RowdahHawtrey, senior occupational therapist at Valkenberg, and Sarah Garland, trustee at the Equinox Trust.

Beachgoers are urged to be aware of sharkswhile visiting False Bay, after almost 30sharks have been spotted since September.The most sightings have occurred in the

inshore areas of Fish Hoek (10), followed byeight sightings in Muizenberg. There havebeen five sighting in Caves (Kogel Bay),three in Clovelly, two inMonwabisi and onein St James.“Shark Spotters aremonitoring identified

beaches to enhance the safety of all visitorsto inshore areas and the FishHoek shark ex-clusion net is being deployed and retrieveddaily,” says Johan van der Merwe, mayoralcommitteemember for energy, environmen-tal and spatial planning.“Members of the public are encouraged to

report any sightings of white sharks to theShark Spotters. Surfers are asked to be espe-cially vigilant in the stretch between Sun-rise and Macassar beaches.”Beachgoers are urged to use beaches

where Shark Spotters are on duty and usetheSharkSpotters signs to familiarise them-selveswith the four-flagwarning systemandwarning siren.Swimmers and surfers should not enter

the water when birds, dolphins or seals arefeeding nearby or where trek-netting, fish-ing or spear fishing is taking place.Beachgoers should also not swim in deep

water beyond the breakers, if they are bleed-ing, at night or if there has been a whalestranding nearby.The rate of encounters with white sharks

rises significantly when the water tempera-ture is warmer (18ºC or higher) and duringnew moon, due to increased opportunitiesfor feeding.The Fish Hoek exclusion net is in opera-

tion until April.The exclusion net is deployed from 09:00

and 17:00.The Shark Spotters will keep beach users

informedabout thedeployment of thenet viaTwitter and Facebook, and signage is dis-played when the net is deployed.The exclusion net will not be deployed if

wind and swell are unsuitable.V The Shark Spotters Information Centre at Muizen-berg Surfer’s Corner is open to the public from 08:00to 18:00 daily.V For more information visit www.sharkspotters.org.za.

Beaches get manyfeet, and drinksNICOLE MCCAIN

The amount of alcohol confiscated onbeaches skyrocketed this festive season.

The City of Cape Town’s enforcement staffconfiscated almost 16 796 bottles of alcoholfrom beachgoers, a marked increase in thevolume of alcohol seized compared with thesame period last year, which saw 10 280 bot-tles confiscated.

Nearly 40% of all confiscations took placein the City’s Area East, which covers beachesbetween Gordon’s Bay and Monwabisi. Over6 600 bottles were confiscated from beachgo-ers in this area. Beachgoers in Sea Point andthe beaches from Hout Bay to Muizenberghad 5 400 bottles confiscated. Visitors tobeaches from Strandfontein to Wolfgat ac-counted for just over 2 500 bottles.

The possession and consumption of alco-hol on beach areas is not allowed and offend-ers can get a R500 fine, says JP Smith, mayor-al committee member for safety and security.

Over a dozen drowning incidents tookplace on local beaches, compared to onlythree last year, says Richard Bosman, theCity’s executive director of safety and securi-ty.

“The number of drowning incidents is ex-tremely disconcerting. To be fair, the beach-es have been much busier than usual, butthis is not a statistic that sits well with us,”he says. We have noticed that people are vi-siting beaches after hours when lifeguardshave left for the day and unfortunately therehave also been a number of incidents wherebathers have ignored safety warnings andgone swimming in unsafe areas. Drinking onthe beaches and unattended minors also

played a role,” he says.Soaring temperatures have seen an in-

crease in the number of beachgoers through-out the season, says Bosman. “We usually seea massive spike in visitor numbers to thebeaches on priority days like the Day ofGoodwill and New Year’s Day, but this sea-son the numbers were consistently high be-cause of the hot weather and also the extend-ed holiday weekends.”

Elsewhere, enforcement agencies and oth-er City departments dealt with a raft ofevents, including New Year’s Eve celebra-tions, the Newlands cricket test and theKlopse and Cape Malay Choir events.

“I think that many people don’t realise theintensity of the holiday season and the de-mands placed on staff, infrastructure andother resources. For example, we had to re-unite 259 children with their families on asingle day – one of whom was separated fromhis mother for four hours,” he says.

Over 16 000 bottles of alcohol were confiscatedfrom beachgoers over the festive season.

Win Pep schoolwear vouchersNational retail giant Pep, which has 70%of the school shoe market and over 57%of the school uniform market in SouthAfrica, says it is committed to findingways to ease the increasing economic dif-ficulty for its customers, who are thefirst to feel the strain of rising prices offuel, electricity and food.

“Through our research over the years,one message that has been consistentfrom our customers is that their chil-dren’s education takes priority,” ex-plains Nobesuthu Tom, Pep’s marketingdirector.

“They will often compromise on otherthings to pay for school fees, transport toschool as well as schoolwear and station-ery.”

Pep has negotiated with its manufac-turers to keep the prices of the entry-lev-el Student Prince synthetic shoe at lastyear’s prices in an attempt to help cus-tomers: R59.99 for girls in sizes 8 to 1 andR64.99 for boys in sizes 8 to 1.

This shoe is manufactured under thePep Student Prince label, to ensure that

quality standards associated with Stu-dent Prince are never compromised.

The shoe range also includes a higherquality leather shoe, which is expectedto be the lowest priced leather schoolshoe in the market this year: R119.99 forgirls (sizes 9 to 1) and R129.99 for boys(sizes 9 to 1).

Managing director Leon Lourens saysa key part of Pep’s social responsibilityduring back-to-school time is to help itscustomers with the best possible priceson all uniform items.

“Our constant aim is to bring down thecost of uniforms without compromisingour quality, while also maintainingstock levels of all school uniform itemsthroughout the year.”

This year, a Grade 4 (entry-level) uni-form is still under R100 at Pep.

Record visitors line up for city’s attractionsRecord-breaking numbers of visitors tosome of the city’s top attractions may meanthis festive season has been one of CapeTown’s busiest holiday periods ever.

The cableway and Robben Island sawsoaring visitor numbers, with other big at-tractions also sharing positive forecasts.

The cableway had a record Decemberwith 28% more visitors than in 2014, report-edly because the weather was extremelygood and they were open every day.

Robben Island Museum recorded thehighest increase in visitors in December –43% more tourists than in December 2014.

More tickets were sold than the highestrecorded since 2010 of 43 208.

The V&A Waterfront’s visitor figures,measured at the Victoria Wharf ShoppingCentre only, have also shown an increasefor December compared to the previousyear. The Waterfront also welcomed about180 000 visitors on New Year’s Eve over the24 hours.

In 2014 24m people visited the Waterfront,and all indications are that last year’s num-bers will be roughly the same.

Kirstenbosch welcomed almost 115 000people in December, excluding the popularSummer Sunset concert audiences.

Since the opening of the tree canopy walk-way or Boomslang, Kirstenbosch has seenan increase in annual visitors from 800 000to just over 1m.

The increased numbers of visitors can beattributed to a variety of factors, includingevents such as the Sevens rugby series andthe England vs SA cricket test.

The busy festive weeks in December arevery important to the tourism industry, butthe summer season stretches from Octoberto after Easter, explains Cape Town Tour-ism spokesperson Nicole Biondi.

“We are very happy with the Decemberschool holiday period and look forwardwith cautious optimism to a successful sum-mer season still ahead.”


Some schools in the area have boostedtheir matric pass rates.Kensington High School improved signif-

icantly from 82.5% in 2014 to 92.3%.WalmerSecondary School improved from 88.2% to91.8% and Windermere High Schoolachieved an improvement from 71.2% in to78.7%.

Maitland High School improved slightlyfrom 76.1% to 76.3%. Holy Cross HighSchool in Maitland attained 97.9%, a dropfrom the previous year’s 100%.Salt River High School experienced a

drop from 76.3% in 2014 to 61.9%.However, provincial eduction minister

Debbie Schäfer says it is important to en-sure the quality of passes.

“Given the many challenges our educa-tion system faces, improving the quality ofeducation is only possible through sus-tained interventions in our schools and thehardworkof thematrics, their teachers and

district officials. It is a multi-year process.“We are pleased that this effort is reaping

results,” she says.There is also growth in thenumber of can-

didates writing and passing Mathematicsand Physical Science in the province.Last year a record number of almost

13 000 matriculants passed Mathematics,compared to 11 000 in 2014. The pass ratewas 74.9%.In Physical Science, the numbers passing

increased from 11 000 in 2014 to 12 000. Phys-ical Science candidates achieved a 73.3%pass rate.Great emphasis is alsoplacedonensuring

pupils stay in the school system for as longas possible.“We are very encouraged by the improve-

ment in our rate of retention over the pastfive years. Last year the Western Cape yetagain managed to increase our retentionrate from 63.8% in 2014 to 66.8%,” she says.

A dripping tap could waste closeto 100F of water a day.

A recent heatwave, coupledwithother factors, could see further wa-ter restrictions being implementedin the city.Since the start of the new year,

level 2 water restrictions havebeen in place.This will result in price adapta-

tions linked to the 10% reductionin consumption by residents. Thismeans that 10% less water used ina month will cost the same as theprevious water bill. But if resi-dents use the same amount of wa-ter as before, they will be chargedmore than previously.If a resident uses 24kF of water

in a month this will cost themR294.62 under level 1 conditions.Under level 2 conditions, 10% lesswater (21.6kF) will cost about thismuch. The same amount of waterwill now cost R344.75.Residents are therefore urged to

conserve water.Sewage charges will also be af-

fected as they are calculated as be-ing 70% of total water used on theproperty up to a maximum of3500F.This is to further encourage wa-

ter savings, but also to cover thefixed costs necessary to continueproviding thewater and sanitationservice.

Additional restrictions for allresidents. Watering (with drinking waterfrommunicipal supply) of gardens,flower beds, sports fields, parks,lawns and other open spaces are al-lowed only on Tuesdays, Thurs-days and Saturdays for a maxi-mum of one hour per property, ei-

ther before 09:00 or after 16:00. Thisincludes watering with buckets orautomated sprinkler systems.. No watering will be permittedwithin 24 hours of rainfall that pro-vides adequate saturation. Resi-dents making use of boreholes orother sources are not exempt fromthis.. When watering gardens, parks,open spaces, etc. with alternativewater resources (e.g. boreholes,well-points, grey water re-use,treated effluent water, spring wa-ter and rain water harvesting) youare encouraged to do so only before09:00 or after 16:00 on Tuesdays,Thursdays and Saturdays.. If alternative water sources areused, all customers must ensurethat they display appropriate sig-nage clearly visible to the public.. Special users (e.g. golf coursesand schools) can apply to the City’sdirector ofwater and sanitation forexemption from any of the aboverestrictions by emailing a complet-ed special exemption applicationform to [email protected].. No automatic top-up systems areallowed for swimming pools. It isrecommended that all swimmingpools be covered by a pool cover toavoid evaporationwhennot in use.. Ornamentalwater fountains andwater features are to be operatedonly by recycling the water.

Restrictions applicable to residentialusers. Washing of cars (including rec-reational cars and watercraft) isonly allowed with hosepipes fittedwith automatic self-closingdevicesor with waterless products.. No washing or hosing down of

hard-surfaced orpaved areas withdrinking waterfrom a tap is al-lowed.. Residents are en-couraged to replaceall taps, showerheads and otherplumbing compo-nentswithwater-ef-ficient parts ortechnologies.. Residents whowish to apply for anexemption can ap-ply to the City’s di-rectorate.

Restrictions applica-ble to businesses. Watering ofplants in nurseries,farms, vegetablegardens, etc. forcommercial gainwill be exemptedfrom water restric-tions on applicationto the directorate.. When washingcars or equipment,use only water-effi-cient or water-recy-cling technologyand equipment orwaterless products.Display of water-saving and water-efficiencymessages is encouraged..

The additional interventions to help home-less people over the festive season will rununtil the end of January.The City of Cape Town’s street people re-

integrationunitwillwork closelywith cen-tral improvement districts and other orga-nisations to reduce the number of peoplemoving to the streets, as well as antisocialbehaviour like aggressive begging.The project will focus on the city centre,

Green Point, Muizenberg, Bellville andParow, with the aim of reducing the num-ber of people living on the street throughtargeted interventions like screening peo-ple, distributing information about Cityprogrammes and resources, referrals to so-

cial and health services and reintegrationwith their families.It follows a pilot project in the city centre

in December 2014, which also signalled thelaunch of the City’s reintegration unit.The initial deployment focused on a

number of areas likeGreenmarket Square,St George’s Mall, Long Street and theGrand Parade.The team identified a number of challen-

ges, including many street people and beg-gars caught in the grip of substance abuse,street people selling donated food to localvendors for cash, an unwillingness to ac-cept help and members of the public whoare unaware of the City’s “give responsi-

bly” campaign, says Suzette Little, mayor-al committee member for social develop-ment and early childhood development.“We have daily interventions aimed at

assisting street people, but the festive sea-son does see an increase in people migrat-ing to the streets – whether for potentialeconomic gain or because of family andother social reasons.“Street people cannot, and should not, be

marginalised, but nor can we ignore thedaily complaints fromacross the city aboutthe impact street people have on the livesof others,” she says.The reintegration unit facilitated a re-

turn home for 85 people in its first three

months of operation.“We also have a number of preventative

programmes that are being run in commu-nities to prevent more people from endingup on the streets.“It is hard work, because all our inter-

ventions are voluntary. We cannot forceanyone to accept our assistance.“Some prefer the lure of the streets be-

cause they don’t have to account to anyone,but also because it is profitable thanks todaily handouts.“I really wish the public could begin to

appreciate howdamaging the street cornerhandouts are to our efforts and also thelives of the recipients,” Little says.

OBSERVATORY

Policeseekstreetrobbers

The December holidays have seen analarming spike in the number of roaddeaths in the province, compared to thesame time last year.

In total, 143 people have lost their liveson our roads this past December – an 18%increase from the 121 deaths recorded inDecember 2014.

The highest increase has been in thenumber of passenger deaths (up 40% from35 in 2014 to 49 in December), with a largenumber of car occupants dying in colli-sions resulting from fatigue, not wearingseat belts and reckless and irresponsibledriving.

The highest number of deaths on a singleday (11 deaths) were recorded on Sundays13 and 20 December.

While there has been a slight decrease inthe number of pedestrian deaths in Decem-ber, they remain the leading class of fatali-ty with comparatively high numbers, saysDonaldGrant, provincialminister of trans-port and public works.

“Our enforcement efforts continue to betargeted at the main killers on our roads:speeding, alcohol and road use, distracteddriving and fatigue,” he says.

“Our provincial traffic officers will con-tinue to stop thousands of cars during vari-ous operations across the province to in-spect their safety, discontinue those thatare not fit to be on our roads, arrest motor-ists who break the law by driving whileover the legal alcohol limit or at excessivelyhigh speeds and issue fines for various of-fences that threaten the safety of others.”

Celebrate 350 ‘with balance’NICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Three hundred and fifty yearsago, the first cornerstone of the

Castle of Good Hope was laid.Built by the Dutch East India

Company, which established a re-freshment station in theCape to ca-ter to the trade route between theNetherlands and Indonesia, theCastle is the oldest existing coloni-al building in South Africa. It re-placed an older fort, constructedfrom clay and timber, built by Janvan Riebeeck upon his arrival.A recent ceremony to commemo-

rate the laying of the first corner-stone also celebrated the history ofthe Castle.In those 350 years the stronghold

has seenmany transitions, occupa-tions and battles, says Calvyn Gil-fellan, CEO of the Castle ControlBoard.“Since there was a river nearby

and Van Riebeeck’s fort 100maway, there would have been aKhoi community living on landthatwouldhavehadgrazing,waterholes, indigenous forest, smallgame and what is today known ascoastal fynbos,” he explains.“The area where the Castle is to-

day was not simply an open, unoc-cupied natural piece of land justwaiting for the Dutch East IndiaCompany to build the Castle on.”

With the Castle built on landused by indigenous people, thecommemorationmust pay homageto those who were “dispossessedfrom their land, marginalised, de-stroyed and treated as third-classcitizens in the land of their birth”,says Gilfellan.“However, the contributions of

the Dutch, English and other Euro-peans will not be denied at all; it issimply a matter of balance.”Once a place associated with

slavery, prisoners and torture, theCastle is nowa place all SouthAfri-cans can relate to, says Gilfellan.“All people must be able to feel

welcome and associate with the

Castle and its history – good, bador ugly. For instance, Robben Is-land has been a place of banish-ment, incarceration and pain – butpeople want to go there. We wantthe same for the Castle,” he says.“It must move from a place of

pain, exclusion and persecution toone that is inclusive, reconciliato-

ry, healing and educational.”The Castle was originally the

headquarters of the Dutch East In-dia Company and then became theseat of the Dutch colonial power.“After that the British took over

and ruled for a short while andthen it then fell back into Dutch(Batavian) hands.”The British took power again

and ruled until the establishmentof the South African Union in 1910.“TheCastle then became themil-

itary headquarters of the defenceforce until about 20 years ago. To-day it is a well-renowned heritagesite and tourist attraction,” hesays.The Castle currently houses four

museums, hosts indigenous lan-guage classes, skills developmentclasses and had almost 170 000 visi-tors last year.The Castle is currently undergo-

ing a R108m facelift. The project isdue to be completed in Septembernext year.The seven buildings within the

Castle walls will be repainted andhave new carpentry installed. Thedeteriorated waterproofing on theroofs and ramparts will be re-placed and the stone moat wallsand banks will be repaired. Theproject also includes the refurbish-ment of murals, renovations to theDolphin Pool and specialist plasterrepairs.

New ice attractionon beachfrontNow Cape Town children can enjoy glidingaround an outdoor ice rink on hot summerdays.This as an outdoor synthetic ice rink

opens at the Rotary Blue Train Park inMouille Point.The installation of the ice rink was the

brainchild of Cape Town businessmen SeanHolmes and Cornelis Ouwehand, who haveled a project to restore the Rotary BlueTrain Park and develop it into a family out-door play experience.The park, which is open to the public and

can be hired for a children’s party, has un-dergone substantial refurbishment in thepast 15 months, including painting of theplay equipment and garden landscaping.A large portion of the park’s income is do-

nated to Rotary. Everything else is investedback into park operations and mainte-nance.

The ice rink,whichwasopenedonWednes-day 30 December, is a key part of the park’srestoration project.Made of Xtraice Pro panels, the 126m2 rink

was partly sponsored by PenBev, the localbottler and distributor of Coca-Cola Compa-ny products in the Western and NorthernCape.The ice panels are self-lubricated with the

highest gliding degree in the industry. Therink is also environmentally friendly as itdoes not require electrical power to operate.Similar ice rinks have been installed in 70countries around the world, including enter-tainment parks like Disneyland.V Children between the ages of three and 12 may rentice skates and take to the rink for 30 minutes at a costof R30 or skate for a full hour at a cost of R50.V For more information about the Rotary Blue TrainPark visit www.thebluetrainpark.co.za or contact084 314 9200.

Go carfree in BreeWalk, dance, skate, cycle – Bree Street isopen to anything on Sunday except driv-ing.Open Streets Cape Town will take over

the street to transform it into a temporaryaccessible public space.Open Streets is a citizen-driven initia-

tive working to change how streets areused, perceived and experienced, where“a street or section of a street is closed offto traditional motorised transport andcreates a temporary network of non-mo-torised areas and routes throughout thecity”.Last year, the organisation saw be-

tween 10 000 and 15 000 people taking tothe street to exercise, play and expressthemselves.Marcela Guerrero Casas, managing di-

rector of Open Streets Cape Town, says:“An Open Streets day is an opportunityto re-imagine public life and use of ourstreets by creating a temporary road clo-sure. All residents and visitors fromacross Cape Town, as well as local busi-ness owners, are invited to join us from10:00 to 15:00 in co-creating a new way ofexperiencing Bree Street.”No extraordinary regulations are in ef-

fect except that cars will not be allowed.This means that the street will be openfor movement (including emergency ser-vices, if need be), no infrastructure will

be erected and everyone will be welcometo take part, Guerrero Casas explains.The organisation has, in partnership

with theCity ofCapeTown, runother suc-cessfulOpenStreets days inObservatory,Langa and Bellville.The recurring event plants the seeds

for regular Open Streets programmes,says Brett Herron, mayoral committeemember for transport.“We hope to see Open Streets become

less of an event and more of a way of liv-ingwith shared streets in our city becom-ingmore commonplace.We hope Bree in-spires other communities to open uptheir streets by closing them to traffic fora number of hours on a regular basis.“We are currently working with the or-

ganisers to establish a framework thatcan enable communities across CapeTown to host an Open Streets.”From a bicycle hub to live music, zum-

ba and a gymnastics display the daypromises to be another showcase of com-munity spirit and talent, Guerrero Casassays.“Jump on the train,MyCiTi bus, amin-

ibus taxi or your bicycle or skateboardand join Open Streets Cape Town to expe-rience the CBD in a radically differentway.”V For more information visit www.openstreets.org.za.
