NICOLE MCCAIN@nickymccain

Over 300 Western Cape heritage build-ings have been demolished in 16months.

The Green Point Ratepayers’ Associationreleased this information, which is based onnumbers obtained from Heritage WesternCape.

Mark Magielse, co-chairperson of the as-sociation, says the number is “staggering”and raises “much concern”.

“The public at large has no idea that ourheritage is being destroyed at such an alarm-ing speed,” he says.

However, Heritage Western Cape CEO An-drew Hall says the statement by the associa-tion is “frankly, misleading”.

The issue, he says, is that these are not‘heritage buildings’ as is stated by the associ-ation.

“They are not formally protected in termsof provisions of the heritage legislation.They are simply buildings of 60 years or old-er that in terms of the National Heritage Re-sources Act we are required to assess forheritage value.

“I am sure the majority of the public willunderstand that simply because a structureis older than 60 years does not mean it hasheritage significance, or that it should notbe possible to alter or demolish such places,”he explains.

Observatory historian and author JimHislop explains the term “heritage” is oftenloosely used to apply to buildings over 60years old, even though these may not haveheritage significance.

“It is important, though, that we do ourbest to protect our old buildings for futuregenerations to enjoy,” he says.

During the same period, Heritage WesternCape processed over 3300 applications, Hallsays.

This makes the number of demolitions

less than 10% of all applications received.“Over the same period there were no per-

mits issued for demolition of sites formallydeclared provincial heritage sites,” he says.

Most demolitions are ordered when build-ings are in a derelict state or a new develop-ment has been proposed, Hall says.

“Reasons are varied and applicants do nothave tell us what they are [planning] as inthe vast majority of instances the Act onlyrequires us to assess the heritage signifi-cance of what is on a site at the present timeand not to weigh that against what is comingin its place,” he says.

All sites are graded according to their her-itage status, Hall explains.

Sites graded a three would have the mostheritage value.

In the statistics released by the associa-tion, of those 302 buildings demolished, 10were graded 3A, 44 graded 3B and 104 graded3C. The rest were ungradable.

The association is currently challengingan appeal by the owners of 8 Romney Road,a 108-year-old home, against a ruling that itmay not be demolished to make way for amulti-storey development.

“Similar decisions and demolition per-mits have been granted by Heritage WesternCape in Fresnaye, De Waterkant, Vrede-hoek, Bakoven and many other suburbs,”Magielse says.

“There has been a long process of attritiondue the demolition of a number of old build-ings in Green Point and other areas of CapeTown that are cause for great concern.

“The cumulative impact of a series ofthese demolitions over time is having a det-rimental impact on the character of the cityand irrevocably destroying its very soul.”

Hookah pipes under microscopeMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

As the use of hookah pipes in restau-rants and other venues becomes morepopular, the City of Cape Town is lob-

bying for legislative clarity on the matter.According to a statement, the City will be

escalating its efforts this year for legislativeclarity on the wide array of “alternative”smoking devices and habits that have be-come commonplace in South Africa.

Tobacco ActBenedicta van Minnen, City Mayoral

Committee Member for Health, says earlierthis year the City solicited legal opinionfrom the national health department about

the use of electronic or e-cigarettes, but saysthis continues to be a grey area as there areno provisions for these items in the TobaccoControl Amendment Act.When it comes to the smoking of ciga-

rettes, Van Minnen says the legislation isvery clear and the City is seeking similarclarity on hookah pipes and e-cigarettes. “Inthe absence of legislation, there is nothingthat prevents establishments from ‘renting’hookah pipes to patrons or the pipes beingused in areas where smoking would other-wise not be allowed,” she explains.

HealthVan Minnen further highlights research

done on the effects of hookah pipe smoking.She explains in the most recent study in

America, it was found that 39% of teenagersand young adults who had previouslysmokedhookahpipeswent on to smoke ciga-rettes. “Hookah pipes are very popular inCape Town, not just among adults, but alsochildren because there is a perception thatthe flavoured tobacco is somehow not harm-ful. Tobacco is tobacco, no matter what theflavour. We need to be more mindful as a so-ciety about the burden we’re placing on thehealthcare system.”With high levels of respiratory diseases

such as tuberculosis, Van Minnen says au-thoritieshave tomakeevery effort to combatthese.Officials from the City’s health depart-

ment have met with researchers from bothUCT and the UWC.“The consensus is that while the research

is not definitive, smoking hookah pipes isharmful to the health of an individual. Theresearchers are also in agreement that nico-tine remains one of the most addictive sub-stances, especially for young people,” saysVan Minnen.

EffectsAccording to a fact sheet by theSouthAfri-

canMedical Research Council (MRC) smokefrom a hookah pipe is not better than ciga-rette smokebecause it passes throughwater.This is because, like cigarette smoke, hook-ah smoke contains poisons including nico-tine, tar, carbonmonoxide, arsenic and lead.The sheet covers a variety of topics includ-

ing the long-term health effects of smokinghookah.It says smoking hookah can be as addic-

tive as cigarettes and the long-term effectsinclude cancers of the mouth, lungs andbladder or a heart attack.In addition the spread of other diseases

are often linked to smoking hookah as thepipe is shared among smokers.The sheet also outlines the effects of sec-

ondary smoke from a hookah pipe whichnon-smokers, in this instance, are exposedto.“Children whose parents smoke hookahs

are more likely to have lung infections thanchildren whose parents do not,” it reads.

StudyAccording to a study conducted by Profes-

sor Angela Mathee, who heads the MRC’sEnvironment and Health Research Unit infive “deprived” areas in Johannesburg, highrates of hookah smoking were observed.As part of the study, a surveywas conduct-

edwithGrade 10 pupils fromanearby schoolwhere it was found that 60% of pupils hadused or were currently smoking hookahpipes. The results also indicate thatmost us-ers started smoking hookah pipes betweenthe ages of 13 and 15.The study also says a significant number

of users had reported using marijuana or al-cohol-based products along with the tobac-

co. It highlights the need for nationwide re-search on the extent of hookah smoking inSouth Africa.Van Minnen says she will be raising the

issues with national health minister AaronMotsoaledi to push for legal clarity on theuse of hookah pipes and e-cigarettes soonerrather than later. “I am not necessarilypushing for a ban on the devices, becauseto be fair there is not definitive proof of theirimpact. But we do need to close the legisla-tive vacuum where these devices are con-cerned,” she concludes.V What is your opinion on the use of Hookah pipes?Starting with the word “Post”, SMS your thoughts to32516.

Kloof Street will see a tech boost as theOranje-Kloof Improvement District(OKCID) installs public wifi.

The wifi is due to go live on Thursday 5February and will initially cover a 100m ra-dius around Arnold’s and 60 on Kloof.Two phases will be rolled out at a later

stage which will cover the whole of KloofStreet following installation across the sub-urb, says Marc Truss chief executive of theGreen Point/OKCID.“Even though most restaurants already

have wifi installed, the aim of the OKCIDwifi would eventually be to create uninter-rupted internet for the entireOranjezicht ar-ea. This would specifically be used by pedes-trians, coffee shop goers, businesses, house-holds and schools,” Truss says.Based on the success of the free wifi at St

Andrews Square in Green Point, the organi-sation decided to roll it out in other areaswith high pedestrian traffic and businesses,such as Kloof Street.“Affordable, fast uninterrupted internet

in the streets, at schools, in the shops andrestaurants, galleries and grocery stores is

something new and definitely an improve-ment to the area,” Truss says.“The free internetwill be capped, but even

without any data or airtime on your phone,you’ll always be able to access certain web-sites. For example you’ll be able to pay utili-ty bills and access your online banking at alltimes. If you top up your data it will neverexpire, it will be extremely affordable andthe fastest lines in Cape Town.”The wifi will be easily accessible via mo-

bile devices and will allocate an amount offree data, with the option of buying more,Truss explains.“This will be an extremely fast and afford-

able connection, at around R25 per GB of da-ta,” he says.“Hopefully other organisationswill follow

our lead and improve other areas in CapeTown as well. Cape Town is regarded inmany ways as a first world city, and provid-ing free internet is part and parcel of this.”

HIGH-TECH EQUIPMENT

City’s newrescue vesselFlooding andwater rescue operations by

the City of Cape Town’s Fire and Res-cue Service have been bolstered by the

acquisition of a new hi-tech rubber boatworth almost R400 000.A City statement says this rubber boat

will help boost the response of its DivingUnit. The new boat has a 95F fuel tank andcan fit six crew members with their divinggear, as well as multiple patients. It is alsorigged to do resuscitation (CPR) on board.The City has a multi-functional emergen-

cy response service that deals with a rangeof incidents apart from fire suppression andprevention, including a group of 24 quali-

fied divers and 10 skippers.This year the City will boost the staff by

training an additional 10 divers and 10 skip-pers. The new boat adds to the unit’s fleetof two rubber ducks, three jet-skis and analuminium boat that is used on inland wa-ter bodies and in flooding situations.JP Smith, of the City’s safety and security

directorate, says: “We have invested quiteheavily in our specialised services so thatwe can offer the best possible service to ourresidents.“This is but the latest example of our ef-

forts and shows our commitment to creat-ing a safer city.”

The Bible to be translatedinto SA sign languageDelegates of the Reformed Churches inSouthAfrica recently sat in silence as a signlanguage linguist and researcher informedthem about the development of a new Biblein South African sign language.Ananda van der Walt, a translator for the

Hands with Words project to translate theBible into sign language, told them there isa huge need for ministering among the deafcommunity in South Africa.“We do not have people in South Africa

who can directly translate the Bible intosign language,” Van der Walt explained.She said this is the first ever attempt to

translate the entire Bible into South Afri-can sign language.The Jehovah’s Witnesses are the only

ones yet to have translated the Bible intosign language for their deaf followers.Van der Walt says the deaf society wants

a Bible in their first language, which is signlanguage.

For the deaf who use sign language, tohave to read the Bible in another languageis very difficult.Lisa Craye, executive director of Hands

with Words, said they aim to launch 32evangelical Bible stories by the end of thisyear.The plan is to translate 110 stories to the

letter into sign language, but eventually toprovide the deaf with the full Bible in signlanguage.“It is going to take us forever to translate

the Bible,” she joked. “Since the projectstarted in 2013, they only managed to trans-late 16 stories. God’s Word is for each andeveryone,” she says.Craye says the reaction from the deaf

communityafter seeingadraft of theBible’screation story in sign language, was incred-ible. “It was the first time they have everheard of and read the story.”– Translated from Die Burger

CBD

Team tackles beggingNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

A task team to tackle aggressive beg-ging is being launched to monitor theCape Town CBD.

Aggressive begging – when someone isapproached or followed in a way intendedto influence or to cause them to fear immi-nent bodily harm or loss of property, intimi-dated into giving money or closely followedafter declining to give to a beggar – is pla-guing tourists in the inner city, says wardcouncillor Dave Bryant.

“Aggressive begging takes place in specif-ic parts of the CBD, mainly in areas wherethere are high concentrations of touristsand commuters,” Bryant says.

“There is a core group of individuals whoare involved in aggressive begging. It is im-portant to emphasise that begging is not il-legal but aggressive begging, as defined bythe bylaw, cannot be condoned and must beaddressed.”

The lines between aggressive begging andmugging can sometimes be blurred, espe-cially when women, tourists and the elderlyare intimidated into parting with money,Bryant says.

“I have had reports of visitors to the citybeing harassed into parting with money aft-er being relentlessly pursued after initiallyrefusing to hand over cash. Aggressive beg-ging has a serious negative impact on thesafe environment we have created in theCBD and cannot be tolerated,” he says.

Areas hardest hit are Long Street, Adder-ley Street, St George’s Mall, GreenmarketSquare and the Company’s Gardens.

Central City Improvement District(CCID) chief operating officer Tasso Evan-gelinos says the organisation receives “a lotof complaints about aggressive begging”.

“However, we also need to stress that this

situation is about behaviour and not abouthomeless people. Many people tend to con-fuse the two and in fact those who are beg-ging aggressively are giving many of ourstreet people a bad name,” he says.

“Aggressive begging has a detrimental ef-fect on all stakeholders who come into con-tact with it – from normal pedestrians onthe street who may be intimidated or eventhreatened, to formal and informal traderswho can have their clientele chased awayby the aggressive behaviour, to people whoare homeless and are reliant on the generos-ity of those who wish to alleviate theirplight.”

Street People’s Forum convenor Greg An-drews says aggressive begging has a nega-tive impact on the street people communityas a whole. “The very small number of indi-viduals who engage in this behaviour havemade life for others more difficult on thestreet.”

Part of the problem, says Andrews, isleaving to the discretion of the local enforce-ment official the interpretation of the term,despite the fact that the bylaw is very specif-ic in its definition.

“We’re working with security clusteragencies to reduce the number of spuriousarrests using aggressive begging as thecharge,” he says.

To tackle this behaviour, Bryant has ad-vocated the formation of a task team to en-force the bylaw against aggressive begging.

“The job of the task team will be to identi-fy the most regular offenders and to formu-late appropriate interventions to ensurethey are aware of the bylaws and abide bythem,” he says.

The core task team has been set up andis to meet this month. It includes represent-atives from the CCID, the CPF, the StreetPeople’s Forum and non-profit organisationStraatwerk, says Bryant.

Robberies have soared in the CentralBusiness District (CBD) over the fes-tive season.

Cape Town central police spokespersonCaptainEzraOctober says robberies aroundtransport interchanges such as the train sta-tion and MyCiTi bus stations spiked.Much of this crime has been attributed to

an influx of street people to the central cityduring the holiday period, October believes.“We have maximised the deployment of

vehicles and officers but there are variousfactors that play a part in this crime. For ex-ample, there are a number people living onthe street that have become destitute andthis has an impact on crime,” he says.The precinct has also been plagued by

fraud, with reports showing an increase inthe number of online scams and ATM orcard swapping incidents, says October. The

latter took place predominantly atmachinesin Strand, Long, Adderley, Longmarket andLoop streets.Cape Town Community Police Forum

chairpersonNicola Jowell was not availableto comment on the crime trends.The spike in crime has seen police focus-

ing on hotspot areas to reduce the crime, Oc-tober explains.“During the festive season we have

strengthened our partnership with localgovernment, security agencies and neigh-bourhood watches to be more available andvisible in the identified hotspot areas. Policecontinued with daily crime planning meet-ings to adapt to the challenging crime pat-terns. We held on-going clean-up and inte-grated operations with all security agenciesat the railway station, Strand, SirLowry,Os-wald Pirow, Long and Loop streets.”However, the station marked a slight de-

crease in business and residential housebreak-ins this festive season, he says.

Invite extended for nature lovers to Run the RoodebergMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

In the early hours on Saturday 24 January,walkers, runners and nature lovers acrossCape Townwill be preparing to Run the Roo-deberg.A bold campaign to help preserve and en-

joy the mountain slopes behind Capri hastaken shape.In January last year, WWF South Africa,

the TableMountain Fund and SouthAfricanNational Parks set out to obtain two piecesof privately owned land for incorporation in-

to the Table Mountain National Park(TMNP). They launched their campaign,called Restore the Roodeberg, and lobbied toraise R9.2m to acquire the remaining prop-erties on the northern section.In a statement issued in July, the conser-

vation bodies announced they had boughtthe 134ha property, one of the two pieces ofland. Following this campaign, the CapriNeighbourhoodWatch launched theRun theRoodeberg event.Watch member Eric Riemann says along

with efforts to raise funds for the CapriCCTV camera project, the watch sought a

sustainable model to fund the project.They conceptualised the running event

which will see 250 participants take to thehiking trails to take in breathtaking viewsof the mountainscape and help raise fundsfor the Restore the Roodeberg campaign.Riemann says the eventwill consist of two

trails of 16km and 6km respectively.According to their website, runners will

start the 16km race by crossing the foot-bridge that divides the Navy’s land fromTMNP, passing the Glencairn Stables andclimbing up to the top of Glencairn Pass.For the 6km race, runners will start at the

same point but after the 3km mark it takesa left turn and rewards the runners withsome fun fast flowing tracks.Riemann says participants pay R90 for the

6kmandR150 for the 16km; R50 of each entrywill go towards the campaign. The remain-der of the funds will cover operational costsand go towards the Capri NeighbourhoodWatch. They plan to publish the financialsto ensure transparency. “The event is aboutcelebrating community collaboration tohelp restore the Roodeberg and improvesafety of residents in Capri.”V Register on www.runtheroodeberg.co.za.

The recent recommendation by the Cityof Cape Town’s Naming Committee torename Table Bay Boulevard after

former president FW de Klerk have sparkedheavy political debate.

The proposed renaming of Table Bay Bou-levard in honour of the former statesman in-itially received overwhelming support dur-ing a comprehensive and city-wide publicparticipation process in October 2014.

However, the ANC is taking a strongstance against the City of Cape Town’s planto honour De Klerk by renaming the CapeTown highway after him.

Zizi Kodwa, ANC national spokesperson,says De Klerk, like Hendrik Verwoerd andmany other former presidents stood at theforefront of Apartheid.

Tony Ehrenreich, Cosatu Western Capeprovincial secretary, strongly opposes theplan. He says even if it was a monkey stand-ing next to former president Nelson Man-

dela, it would have received the Nobel PeacePrize.

Moeletsi Mbeki, political analyst, says DeKlerk has made a valuable contribution tohelp end Apartheid and should get recogni-tion.

The City recently announced that its nam-ing committee made the proposal because ofDe Klerk’s decisive role in South Africa’stransition to a democracy.

About 27 prominent Cape Town residentssupport the renaming, including PremierHelen Zille and Archbishop Desmond Tutu.

Kodwa says street renaming are meant topromote nation building, reconciliation anddemocracy.

“I’m not sure what the City’s reasons arefor wanting to name a street after the lastApartheid president.

“De Klerk was under international pres-sure. He did not free us. The people freedthemselves.”

Professor Hermann Giliomee, historianand former professor in political studies at

UCT, says he supports the decision to re-name Table Bay Boulevard to FW de KlerkAvenue.

“De Klerk took his political life in his ownhands as no one knew if there would be ma-jority support in favour of negotiations withthe ANC,” says Giliomee.

Dr Theuns Eloff, former vice-chancellor ofthe North West University, agrees.

“De Klerk played a big role in our coun-try’s history. He prevented a bloodbath,freed Mandela and unbanned the ANC. Heis recognised in other countries far more forthis than in his own country.

“How you end your life is a far greaterachievement than how you started it off,”says Eloff.

In a statement Cosatu said De Klerk un-willingly gave blacks voting rights duringnegotiations, and that he was by accident thepresident of the NP in the history of thiscountry, who was pressured into negotia-tions with the ANC.– Translated from Die Burger

TABLE BAY BOULEVARD

Renaming sparks debate

Tourists make this a bumper summer seasonCape Town and the Western Cape have ex-perienced one of its best summer seasonsto date.

There was an increase in Gauteng num-ber plates making their way from town totown and more international visitors visit-ed key attractions and beaches.

With 5 028 362 visitors during Novemberand December 2014, the V&A Waterfrontexperienced its best year to date, exceeding24 million visitors over the course of theyear for the very first time.

Other big attractions like Kirstenboschalso saw a spike in visitor numbers overthe summer period, attracting 86 117 and116 986 visitors for November and Decem-ber respectively.

Its November percentage changed, see-ing a 23% spike and December realising a31% increase in visitors when compared tothe same period for 2013.

Judy Lain, chief marketing officer atWesgro, the Western Cape’s official Tour-ism, Trade and Investment PromotionAgency, says the Western Cape remains abig drawcard for both domestic and inter-national visitors alike.

“The continued increase in visitor num-bers is confirmation that our beautifulscenery, amazing activities and friendlypeople edged throughout our province con-tinue to draw visitors from all over theworld.

“We are confident that visitor numbersfrom across the province will paint a posi-tive picture for tourism over the summerseason,” she says.

Mossel Bay conducted a survey, whichindicated that visitors to their informationoffices were up from 2013 figures.

“The largest number of respondents(39.7%) indicated that they had come totown for holidays of between one and fivedays; about a third (29.2%) for six to 10days; 11% for 11 to 14 days; and 12.4% for15 to 21 days. 7.6% of respondents werestaying for more than three weeks,” saysMossel Bay Tourism’s Marcia Holms.

The results show that 26% of the respon-

dents were overseas visitors and 74% do-mestic visitors.

“Our largest domestic source marketswere Gauteng (34%), the Free State (18%),the Western Cape (13%) and the NorthernCape (10%),” says Holms.

Other key attractions in the WesternCape that experienced good year-on-yeargrowth when comparing December 2013 to2014 include the West Coast National Park,who welcomed 36 598 visitors in 2014 com-pared to 35 852 in 2013, while the Wilder-ness National Park in the Garden Route in-creased its December numbers by 21.7%,

hosting 25 495 visitors in 2014.Harold Porter National Botanical Gar-

den, Kogelberg Nature Reserve, BontebokNational Park, Agulhas National Park andCape Agulhas Lighthouse – all in the CapeOverberg – experienced increases in visi-tors.

Cape Town International Airport arriv-als for December 2014 makes for very goodreading. International arrivals were up by3.2%, regional arrivals that include depar-tures from Namibia, Botswana and Leso-tho increased by 13.8%, while the domesticarrivals make up the majority during De-

cember with 6.5%.“The increase in visitor numbers

throughout the province is reassuring toan industry that contributes more thanR18bn to our provincial economy annuallyand employs about 150 000 people.

“The fact that the province has experi-enced a good season is encouraging and re-flects the hard work done by the industryto promote tourism,” says Lain.

“It is important that we keep this mo-mentum going in 2015 as we continue to in-vite visitors to discover Cape Town and theWestern Cape.”

Animals in circuses a cruel practiceA visit to the circus can be a magicalexperience, with human artists perform-ing wonderful feats. But when it comesto performing animals, sadly it is adifferent story.

Life under the big top is not thewholesome, fun-loving, educationalexperience the circus industry would likeyou to believe.

For the animals, life is a monotonousand brutal routine of boredom, stress andpain. In short, travelling animal actsperpetuate animal cruelty, inhumanecare, public safety hazards and distortedimages of wildlife and domestic animals.

Animals are not actors, spectacles toimprison and gawk at, or even circusclowns. Yet thousands of these animalsare forced to perform silly, confusingtricks under the threat of physicalpunishment.

They are carted across the country incramped and stuffy trailers, are keptchained or caged in barren, boringenclosures and separated from their own– all for the sake of ‘human entertain-ment’. Many of these animals even paywith their lives.

What we do not see is how theseanimals are trained and live behind thecircus ring. Circus animals are confinedvirtually all of their lives in barrenconditions, while forced to suffer extremephysical and psychological deprivation.

They spend virtually 96% of their livesin chains or cages.

They travel over long distances in box

carts with no climate control. They sleep,eat and defecate in the same cage.

When allowed out, these animals aretrained using extreme discipline methodssuch as whipping, hitting, poking andshocking them with electrical prods.

Wild animal acts also pose a significantthreat to public health and safety. Circuselephants may carry tuberculosis (TB),and can infect humans with the bacterialdisease. Public records show that manycircuses have used TB-positive elephantsin public performances. Local lawenforcement agencies may be forced todeal with an animal that have escaped.

Since the 1990s circuses have beenresponsible for many injuries to humansworldwide.

There was a time when a circus mayhave represented the only exposure achild had to a wild animal. Today ourchildren learn early in school andthrough programmes on TV that wildanimals live fascinating lives in theirnatural habitat, and have natural in-stincts developed over thousands ofyears. Performing in circuses goesagainst every natural instinct andconstitutes cruelty of the worst kind.

When kids see the negative messagescircuses send, it completely contradictsthese lessons.

The circus industry claims it onlytrains animals to do the types of tricksthey might naturally perform in the wild.In reality, animals in the wild live theirlives looking for food, sleeping or raising

their young.Costumed animals lying on their backs

spinning giant balls, tigers jumpingthrough flames, or elephants walking ontheir hind legs then balancing on theirheads, are not natural behaviour. Haveyou ever seen a wild elephant do that?

When circuses portray unnatural andinaccurate images of how wild animalslive and act in such an unrealisticcontext, this creates a greater disconnectbetween people and wild animals,promoting the notion that it is accepta-ble, even enjoyable, to exploit animals forentertainment.

Circuses perpetuate an outdatedattitude that wild animals are ours to useat any cost to their welfare – an attitudeanimal protection groups, wildlifeorganisations and zoos work tirelessly tocounteract through outreach and educa-tion. Many countries have banned thiscruelty and it is time we take a firmstand on it, too.

I and many other people do not thinkcircuses need to feature animals to beentertaining. We respect and admire thehuman performers, who work tirelesslyto perfect their art and I would buytickets to support them. However, it isthe animals in the circus that stop mefrom doing so.

I wonder how many animal lovers havestopped going to circuses and standoutside trying to stop this cruel practice.

Matrics need helpto boost resultsAs we start the 2015 school year, the 2014academic results will be the maindiscussion point in school staff rooms.

The inability to read, write andcalculate properly are the main reasonsusually given for poor academic perform-ance.

Reading, writing and mathematicalskills are no doubt the foundation ofadequate performance in school subjects.

At government schools the lack ofconcentration, parental support andintellectual capacity and potential, aswell as poverty, are often cited as theroot causes of these problems.

How do these schools, however, deter-mine the extent and severity of thesecauses? What percentage of those labelledas struggling pupils have been formallyassessed by relevant professionals toaccurately identify this and to, moreimportantly, successfully and concretelyassist such pupils?

The education department has supportteams consisting of social workers,

psychologists and more in every district.How adequate are these teams – in termsof the number of staff available to assiststruggling pupils in mainstream schoolsand the number of pupils they successful-ly assisted to improve their performance?

How many psychologists, for example,are available per number of pupils? Dothese teams include speech therapists,occupational therapists and other remedi-al teaching experts like we find atprivate schools? Is this in proportion tothe needs of our pupils and schools?GINO CONTALDI,Tafelsig

Lose weight. Quit smoking. Save money.These are some of the New Year’s resolutions that most

of us have tried (and failed) year in and year out.Maybe we should try a new resolution this year. Some-

thing less selfish, less concerned with how we look or ourbank balance.

Let 2015 be the year we resolve to care for each other.Let it be the year we resolve to take care of our commu-

nities.All too often we look to the police, council, religious or

community leaders to fix the problems on our doorstep.But the responsibility lies with each and every one of us.

Let’s resolve to be active citizens this year.Report service delivery problems to council as soon as

they take place. And if they are not fixed in a reasonabletime, escalate the complaint. Educate your neighboursnot to damage council property, as it not only delays ser-vice delivery, but also chews up funding that could beused to beautify your neighbourhood.

Let’s resolve to take pride in our homes.If each one of us cleans in front of our homes, the entire

street will be clean. Maintain your home to the best ofyour ability.Don’t standbyandwatchvandalism flourishin our neighbourhoods. Educate those around you aboutthe impacts of littering and dumping.

Let’s resolve to live on safer streets. Report crime – nomatterhowsmall – so that police canbuild accurate statis-tics and allocated resources more efficiently. Form aneighbourhood watch and work with your neighbours tokeep your suburb safe. Patrol your street and ask stran-gers why they are there and if you can assist them.

Our communities belong to us, and if each of us investsin them the returns have the potential to be enormous.

Let’s resolve to make ourselves happier, not by losingweight or quitting a habit, but by creating communitiesin which we feel safe and proud.

Withher bright blue hair and inspired fashi-on, Blaauwberg’s Gabbi Katz is challengingthe stereotypes around beauty.By day, Gabbi is a successful business wo-

man. But away from the workplace, she be-comesTheBlueHairedBetty, her pin-upmo-del persona. With a little help from her sup-porters,Gabihopes tobecome the first SouthAfrican to compete in the Viva Las VegasRockabilly Weekend international pin-upcontest in April.For Gabbi, being a pin-up girl is about a

whole lot more than pretty clothes and po-ses.She describes a modern-day pin-up girl as

a combination of old-school values and thestrong will and mind of a 21st century wo-man – prim and proper with a rebelliousstreak, which she believes is also an apt de-scription of herself.Gabbi made her first foray into the world

of pin-up modelling as a form of artistic ex-pressionwhen shemoved away from perfor-ming on stage.“The ‘cheesecake’ pin-up style of model-

ling fits my quirky and silly personalitywell,” she says.Having always led an alternative lifestyle

within the borders of being a “straight-and-narrow kinda girl”, Gabbi says pin-up mo-delling gave her a place where she felt shebelonged.Pin-up models go hand-in-hand with the

Rockabilly lifestyle, a perfect fit for the “bet-ty” who loves old-school rock ‘n roll music,fashion and the “style and class of this bygo-ne era”.Gabbi says she “truly got into it”when she

started posing for the Milnerton-based clot-hing label Miss Happ, and now she uses herposition in the pin-up community to promo-te the Rockabilly lifestyle and challenge peo-ple to “dare to be different”.She will be attending the Viva Las Vegas

Rockabilly Weekend as the brand ambassa-dor for the brand, who will be showing theirspring/summer range at the Viva Las VegasFashion Show.Since she was going to the festival any-

way, Gabi says she entered the pin-up con-test in a pure “why the heck not” moment.“I was absolutely amazed at the response

and support I received as soon as the an-nouncement of the public vote was made on5 January,” she says.In fact, she’s gained so much support that

she’s in the top six of over 100 contestants.Her goal now is to stay within the top six

during the competition’s public voting stageto guarantee her spot at the Miss Viva LasVegas Finale whichwill be hosted in Las Ve-gas on Saturday 4 April.Gabbi hopes to use the contest to create

awareness for the South African Rockabilly“scene” and to gain exposure for localbrands, bands and businesses.V Readers can help keep Gabbi in the running for thecontest by voting for her under the name The BlueHaired Betty at www.vivalasvegas.net/pin-up-contest.Voting closes on Saturday 31 January. Visit www.face-book.com/thebluehairedbetty for more informationabout Gabbi and her Rockabilly lifestyle.

Lights, camera, action.Theatre lovers came out for a night of

drama to celebrate the opening of theproduction Samsa-masjien at the BaxterTheatre on Thursday 15 January.This production, conceptualised by Jaco

Bouwer and Willem Anker and written byAnker, is a piece that aims to engage in a dia-logue with Franz Kafka. In Samsa-masjienthe character Gregor senior (a retired teach-

er) undergoes what psychologists, psychia-trists anddoctors ascribe to theauditoryandtactile hallucinations common to dementiapatients.Gregor sees insects everywhere, feels

them walking on him and eventually feelshimself becoming something both less andmore than human.The production will be staged at the Bax-

ter Theatre until Saturday 31 January.

From pink balls to tens in Varisty CricketPink balls, a six that can become a 10 andlosing 5 runs when a wicket falls, are allnew innovations for cricket.Everything you thought T20 cricket is

about, will be be hit out of the park as theinaugural Varsity Cricket season looks tochallenge all the rules of conventional T20cricket.During the six-day jamboree from 3 - 8

February in Potchefstroom, innovationssuch as a Power Play Plus Over, StrategyBreak and targets on the side of the fieldthat will yield ten runs if hit, will ramp upthe action as eight of South Africa’s topuniversity sides slog it out to be crownedchampions.The Power Play Plus Over can be called

at any time during the batting innings.The call can only be made once the bowler

is at the top of his mark for the new overand a change of bowler cannot be madeonce the Power Play Plus Over has beensignalled.All runs scored during this over will be

doubled while any wicket that falls willcost the side five runs. These runs will beadded to the extras column for the next sixballs with the runs deducted for losing awicket also deducted from the extras col-umn.Extras suchaswides andno-balls arealso doubled during the Power Play PlusOver.Should a batsman lose hiswicket during

this over, he will be out, but the over willcontinue until it is completed.The targets on the side of the field will

be erected between the boundary rope andthe perimeter fence on the square bounda-

ries on either side. Should a batsman hitthese targets he, and the batting team, willbe awarded ten runs. These runs are addedto the batsman’s total.Such innovation will be encouraging at-

tackingplayand could see abatsmanscoreasmany as 20 runs off a single ball andwillensure that the action never stops.The Strategy Break will be taken after

the tenthoverandwill allow teammanage-ment as well as substitute fielders of thebowling teamonto the field todiscuss theirapproach for the next nine overs. The bat-ting sidewill also be allowed to receivewa-ter from a teammate.The tournament will also be playedwith

pink balls. This offers spectators and pos-sibly future South African cricket playersa first-hand look at the future of cricket.

Meet SA’s first grandmasterIf Kenny Solomon (33) did not choose toplay chess, life could have been very dif-ferent for him.This native of Mitchell’s Plain, who now

lives in Italy, was awarded the title of chessgrandmaster after winning the Africa indi-vidual chess championship in Namibia lastmonth.He is only the second grandmaster in sub-

Saharan Africa after Amon Simutowe ofZambia and the very first South African tohave been awarded this honour.Determined to not become a statistic in a

community where gang culture and drugabuse are rife, Solomon taught himself thegame of chess after reading a book aboutformer world champion Anatoly Karpov.Two years later, Solomon won the nationalunder-16 championship.“I was exposed to gang culture from an

early age,” Solomon said. “I realised that ifI did not createmyown future, Iwouldmere-ly become a pawn in this scene, trapped inthe violent, oppressive cycle of gangsterism.Strong family values and my early interestin chess keptme away from these influencesand compelledme tomake choices aboutmyfate.”Although he currently lives in Italywhere

he competes on the European circuit, Solo-mon always returns to his home town,Mitchells Plain, to give back to the commu-nity and share his knowledge. Along withthe Department of Cultural Affairs andSport (DCAS), Solomon has organised vari-ous exhibitions inwhichhe has both partici-pated and taught youth about the game.“Kenny Solomon is a prime example of the

hero that we would like our youth to lookup to – someonewhomakes thebest of oppor-tunities, and who exceeds all expectations,”said Theuns Botha, Western Cape Ministerof Cultural Affairs and Sport.V Share your thoughts.

Glenthorn wins 10 in a rowJOSEPH PILLAY

Though a bit rusty from the festive breakGlenthorn-Athlone returned to the actionand Saturday and continued their winningstreak by beating VOB 17-3 in a WesternProvince softball federation Super Leagueencounter at Turfhall Stadium.WayneMay’sGlenthorn side sports an un-

beaten record of ten victories on the trot.They have beaten Brian Lombard’s (coach)VOB side in three batting innings to capturetheir second victory over VOB in the secondround of the current season’s league cam-paign. Glenthorn dominated thematch fromthe opposition’s errors in the field and allround poor, inept performances in both thepitching and batting departments.The valuable two pints secured from this

one-sided outing seesGlenthorn on 20 points– four ahead of second placed Falcons (16points) who have all played ten matches.Nonetheless, VOB did not have enough of

a killer-instinct in their pitching attack.They started off with Meghan Fillmore andoccupied the mound for 2.2 of an innings.Besides Fillmore being milked for eight

hits, she also conceded eight base-on-ballswhile relief pitcher, Kara Dorrington, justfaced two batters and surrendered one hit toLisa Erasmus (1-3).Therefore Glenthorn were able to score

their runs in just two frames – their first bat-ting turn yielded no runs, but in the secondand third they scored ten and seven respec-tively in two merry-go-round batting turnsthat totalled 17 runs and the demolition ofVOB within 90 minutes.

Carly Mulder, who smacked a three bag-ger over centre field topped the batting statswith 3-3, followed by Carla Swanepool (2-2),Danielle Fortune (1-1) and Nicole Fortune(1-2).Her sister, Lauren Mulder, led the Glen-

thorn attack on the rubber and although shejust faced 17 batters in three innings, the lat-ter earned three strike outs while concedingfive walks and one hit – a single to MoniqueFillmore (1-1).* Westridge Yankees bounced back much

to the delight of the loyal supporters afterlastweek’s defeat to StMartin’s beatingTan-tasport 11-1.* St Martin’s continued to make waves by

beating Kenfac Phillies 11-5.
