SEA POINT

Eye on promenade perpsNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Security along the Sea Point promenadehas been given a boost with the installa-tion of six CCTV cameras.

The cameras have been installed by theCity of Cape Town to monitor hotspots andparking areas along the promenade, withthe installation costing about R500 000.

It is part of the multimillion rand upgradeto the promenade, which has seen the walk-way repaved and the landscaping of playareas improved.

The upgrade has been completed betweenthe Pavilion and Milton Road, including im-provements to sections in Mouille Point.Work is scheduled to continue along the restof the promenade.

The rehabilitation of the sea wall has alsobeen taking place.

Ward councillor Jacques Weber says thecameras boast incredible clarity and will beadded on the City’s camera network.

“These cameras will allow our CCTV con-trollers to monitor the parking areas on thepromenade and one or two hotspot areaswith the ultimate goal of reducing crime,”

he says.

Captures criminalsCCTV cameras have proven their worth in

helping fight crime and making communi-ties safer, says Sea Point, Fresnaye and Ban-try Bay Ratepayers’ Association (SFB) coor-dinator Toni van Eyssen.

“The licence plate recognition system iscapturing criminals regularly, as is theCity’s system, which led to a good arrest lastweek,” she says.

The promenade is a very popular place forlocals and tourists alike, Van Eyssen ex-

plains, and will be improved by the additionof the security cameras.

“Even with law enforcement patrols andsupport from Ratepayers’ Association’s‘crime and grime’ initiative they can’t haveeyes everywhere. The cameras, especiallythe new ones, which provide very clear im-ages, help provide those additional ‘eyes’.

“As we go into the summer season, this isassurance that there is extra protection tokeep us safe. SFB welcomes the investmentbeing provided at the promenade in thesesystems as well the overall upgrade now un-derway.”

Asafehouse for abusedwomenand childrenexperienced a huge blowwhen the propertywas broken into and items worth R45 000stolen.Now the home is in dire need of suppliesand is turning to the public for support.The home is situated in Wynberg, but theprecise address cannot be revealed to pro-tect the vulnerable women and childrenwho live at the premises.Warrant officer Silvino Davids, spokes-person of Wynberg police station, has con-firmed the break-in.The safehouse is managed by LavenderHill-based organisation Philisa Abafazi Be-thu. Manager Janine Poggenpoel says thehome is an emergency facility which pro-vides a safe space for women for up to 72hours. But there have been women and

their children who have stayed longer, de-pending on their situation.“We take care of these women and chil-dren and provide them with a place of safe-ty, away from their abusive homes and part-ners,” she says.The break-in has made it difficult forthem to take onmore people as they are lowon supplies.“We can only accommodate a certainnumber of people as we rely on donationsand fundraiserswhohost events to raise themoney needed to buy basic supplies,” shesays.Poggenpoel says the property stolen in-cludes brand new blankets, as well as foodand clothing.“These are all basic items required tohelpthe women and children. It is tough for usnow,” she says.The home has been open since 2012 andcaters forwomenand children fromall com-

munities. Some of the womenwho enter thehome comewith little or nothing and every-thing is provided for them – from clothingand food to supplies for their babies, whichPoggenpoel says is “extremely costly”.“We feel bad when we have to turn some-one away because we do not have enoughspace or food. We have dedicated our timeto this home, to making it a place wherewomen and their children can feel safe.Herewe guide and protect them, butwe can-not do it without the support of the public,”she says.“We are only women here andwe feel likeour space has been invaded. The little bitthat we have was taken from us and forwomen and children who come from abu-sive backgrounds it is extremely scary,” sheadds.Readers who want to donate or make acontribution toward the safehouse can con-tact Poggenpoel on 081 320 5834.

Safehouse for women burgled

Mall scamsterstrikes againASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

Shoppers are warned to be vigilant asthe festive season comes closer. Sever-

al more cases have been reported of wom-enwhowere conned and their belongingsstolen.People’s Post previously reported thattheWynberg police has seen over 10 casesin which women have been conned into“buyingclothes”athalf price only tohavetheir belongings stolen (“Watch out for‘friendly shop helper’”, 26 May).Warrant Officer Silvino Davids,spokesperson of Wynberg police station,says there have been more incidents re-cently. “All shoppers – not only women– need to be vigilant at all times, as thiscould happen to anyone. We urge shop-pers to never let their personal items outof their sight,” Davids says.Several women have been duped intoleaving their belongings with strangersunder false promises of buying items atseveral clothing stores at discount prices.Davids says a group of women havebeen targeting shoppers in amall inWyn-berg. “Many of the victims were ap-proached in one specific store in themall,” he says.According to the investigating detect-ive the suspect somehow convinces thevictim that she is a store employee andcan get the victim “whatever they wantfor half the price”.“The suspect then tells the victim if

they are interested tomeetwith themout-side the mall, where about three to fourother ‘interested buyers’ are waiting,” hesays.The con artist explains that they canonly go back into the store with one “in-terested buyer” at a time. The suspectasks thewomengathered to leaveall theirbelongings, including their handbags,cellphones, purses and even their shop-ping bags, with the other “interested buy-ers” who are waiting for their turn.The suspect first takes one of her ac-complices back to the store. This womanreturns with clothing she says has beenpurchased from the store. “This, howev-er, is only a way to make the victim trustthat the suspect is the real deal,” he says.What happens next is that the victimleaves all her belongings, goes back to theclothing storewith the suspect and is toldto pick out what she wants. She is told togo back outside themall to where the oth-er “interested buyers” are andwait there.However, the victim realises as soon asshe gets outside the mall to the “waitingarea” that the other three or four “inter-ested buyers” are missing – with her be-longings.“This is awell thought out scamand thevictims are easily lured into purchasingitems at a discount price,” he says.Davidsurges shoppers to be careful andnot fall for scams like this one. “If anyonehas any information on the suspects orhas been approached in this mannerplease report it to the police,” he says.

Your cleancar can giveothers afresh startThe Carpenter’s Shop (TCS) – a non-profitorganisation in the heart of the city – is cele-brating changing seasons, fresh beginningsand its blossoming social enterprises withthe launch of a new car wash campaign,called #CleanCarNewStart.A campaign of the carwash, a social enter-

prise of TCS based in Roeland Street, pro-vides significant income for the organisa-tion and effective vocational training for alarge number of homeless and unemployedpeople with low levels of literacy.The aim of the campaign is to wash and

polish at least 20 cars a day from this monthto make it in to a sustainable business.All funds generatedwill go towards the or-

ganisation’s vocational training needs.“The objective of this campaign is three-

fold: Build awareness of this socially respon-sible service that everyone in our cityshould be taking advantage of, increase thenumber of cars washed per day to covercosts and ensure that the service is sustaina-ble and generate much-needed income forthe organisation so we can continue to trainmore unemployed people,” says JamesMac-donald, TCS business and social enterprisemanager.An incentive for clients is a limited-edi-

tion loyalty voucher, which will be given tocar wash clients during the campaign. Thevoucher entitles clients to a free polish andvacuum after they have had their carwashed 10 times.“We all need some sprucing up at summer

time and our cars are no exception. Gettingyour car wash at TCS is a no-brainer – youget a great deal, an exceptional car wash inline with any business and you are contrib-uting to an unemployed individual’s firststeps to financial independence,” says mar-keting manager Jane Mills.Clients can make online bookings on

www.tcs.org.za or give a voucher to a friend.

Repair on botched jobNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Repairs are underway to paving in RegentRoad following substandard work by

contractors.Various third party companies have been

installing fibre and telecommunication ser-vices in the pavement, says ward councillorJacques Weber.Often such companies use contractors

who do not always ensure the highest levelof quality when reinstating the paving, hesays.Contractors are now back on site to repair

the paving, which had become a concern topedestrians, Weber says.This is expected tobe completed thisweek.Generally, the permits to carry out work

on City property, such as pavements, aregiven for a couple of weeks and the areaneeds to be resealed as soon as the serviceinstalled is working and functional.“The City often levies a heavy deposit

fromthe serviceproviders and in somecaseswewill not approve a single new applicationfrom themunless they ensure that the previ-ous area was returned to the state in whichit would be,” he says.However, the City is looking at ways to

prevent substandard work by contractors.“The City is looking at new conditions

such as having a Cape Town-based projectmanager and, in bigger jobs, a civil engineerwho will oversee this process. One alsoneeds to understand that there is a massivedemand for such services and in order to getfibre installed there will be disruption to

pavements. It is impossible to bring a worldclass service such as fibre to the area with-out digging up pavements and causing someinconvenience.”Weber recently submitted a motion to the

City of Cape Town’s transport portfolio com-mittee calling for a new strategy in lying ca-bles in sidewalks in the city (“Plan to fixCity’s broken sidewalks”, People’s Post, 15September).The present system is a great inconven-

ience to motorists and pedestrians, Weberbelieves, as the City is required at times tointervene and redo inadequate repairs. Inthese cases, the contractors are instructed toredo their reinstatements.Weber proposes installing a conduit dur-

ing major roadworks by the City, and thatin future, service providers will use this.

Motorists must take responsibility for re-newing their car licence discs, because theywill not be notified by the national depart-ment of transport.A computer system change at the depart-

ment is affecting motorists whose licencediscs expired at the end of September andare renewable by 21 October. These motor-ists are not receiving notices to renew theirannual car licences.Neither will those motorists whose li-

cence discs expire on 31 October and are re-newable by 21 November.Motorists are urged to check their disc re-

newal dates. If it is due for renewal, motor-ists should visit their nearest vehicle licens-ing office, or to renew it online visitwww.capetown.gov.za/en/eservices/Pa-ges/default.aspx and follow the steps out-lined there.Motorists can also call the City of Cape

Town’s call centre on 0860 103 089 to find outthe amount owing should they not know thelicence amount due.Ian Neilson, mayoral committee member

for finance, says they are doing everythingthey can to ease the discomfort of motoristsand to come up with better measures.

Care must keep dignityMental Health Awareness Month is cele-brated annually in October. This yearCape Mental Health will be raisingawareness around the theme of “Dignityin mental health”.One in four people in all communities

have a mental health condition, and onein every four people has, at some point intheir lives, experienced a loss of dignitybecause of their mental health condition,says Cape Mental Health director IngridDaniels.“Fewpeople understand the truemean-

ing of dignity, and even fewer realise theextraordinary impact it has on our livesand relationships. The social exclusion,lack of resources, inequality, discrimina-tion and stigma faced by many peoplewith amental illness inhibits the restora-tion of their dignity,” she says.CapeMentalHealth is aiming to restore

the dignity of patients and to address ex-ternal factors that erode their dignity byoffering comprehensive, proactive andenabling mental health services in theprovince.Despite the existence of legislation like

the national mental health policy frame-work strategic plan 2013- 2020, there arestill crucial issues that need to be ad-dressed and rectified to ensure the digni-ty of mental health care patients, Danielssays.

These include easy and reliable accessto the correct medication, access to com-munity-based rehabilitation centres, theallocation of sufficient beds and resour-ces to psychiatric and other health carefacilities, ensuring medical staff have ba-sic training in andunderstanding ofmen-tal health and ensuring patient participa-tion in treatment plans.“Although South Africa has legislation

in place to ensure the protection of therights of people with psychiatric and in-tellectual disabilities, it is our ongoing re-sponsibility to ensure that this legisla-tion is implemented so that all SouthAfri-cans are treated with dignity andrespect,” she says.Michael Hattingh, a member of Cape

Mental Health’s psychosocial rehabilita-tion programme, called Fountain House,says: “We should always remember thatin order to restore dignity, all people liv-ingwith amental illness have a voice andshould be heard. I am not defined by mymental illness.”

Aquick response by a lifeguard saved thelives of two teens at Camps Bay beach

last weekend.Senior lifeguard Mzikayise Jacobs from

Mandalay says two boys, aged 16 and 17years, were swimming on Saturday 3 Octo-ber between 16:30 and 17:00.“Wewere doing crowdcontrol on thewest

side of the beach when we saw the teensswimming. We blew the whistles but theydid not take note. My colleague then blewthe whistle again,” he tells People’s Post.“The one got caught in a rip current. His

friend then tried to help him and also gotcaught. I noticed he was struggling and mycolleague followed.Wemanaged to get themout and swam them to shore where the onewas treated for hypothermia.”Both teens from Kraaifontein survived

the ordeal.“We are very grateful to the Camps Bay

lifeguards on duty, whose efficient team-work ensured the safety of the bathers,”says Belinda Walker, mayoral committeemember for community services and spe-cial projects.Jacobs has been a lifeguard formore than

15 years and is one of the 12 lifeguards per-manently employed by the City of CapeTown.The City has these safety tips for bathers:

.Swimonlywhere there are lifeguards andwhere signs indicate that it is safe..Do not swim in an area if there are no life-

guards present.. Make sure that the lifeguards can see youwhen you are in the water..Always swim in supervised swimmingar-eas, taking care to avoid dangerous rip cur-rents and tides.. Only swim in areas where other peopleare present. Swim in groups and advisefriends or family when you go swimming.. Do not swim when there are marine ani-mals such as whales, dolphins and seals inthe area or when a marine animal carcasshas washed up onto the beach.. If you find yourself in trouble, raise yourarm and wave to attract a lifeguard’s atten-tion. Try not to panic, as this will make youtired.. If you see someone in trouble in the sea,alert the lifeguards or find trained help. Donot put your own life in danger as well.. Do not swim after drinking alcohol.. Report any drunk beachgoers to the life-guard.Jacobs also reminds people not to try and

save others if they are not qualified to doso. “Like in this case where the boy triedto save his friend, he also got into trouble.”Jacobs says he is passionate about saving

lives. He joined the Mnandi lifesaver clubin 1998 and previously swam for the Gu-gulethu Gunners swimming club.He encourages youngsters to get involved

in lifesaving.“If you can’t swim, it should not stop you.

I would like to encourage the youth to joina swimming club and then a lifesavers clubto qualify,” he says.

On Saturday facilities around theworld, in-cluding the Two Oceans Aquarium, will becelebrating African Penguin AwarenessDay.The endangeredAfrican penguin is found

only along the Southern African coastline.A number of activities will take place at

the Aquarium on the day to celebrate.A mini Penguin Waterfront Waddle will

kick things off. This year, the 2.5km routewill amble through theWaterfront, startingand finishing at the Aquarium. All partici-pants are encouraged to wear black andwhite in support of the penguins and to jointhe festivities from 08:30 for complimentarybeverages. The waddle will start at 09:00.Waddlers are also encouraged to bring theirown water, as bottled water is not encour-aged.Samantha, the Aquarium’s penguin mas-

cot, will make an appearance and membersof the Aquarium will have the opportunityto see the movie City slickers – A tale of twoAfrican penguins.TheAfrican penguin is endemic to South-

ern Africa and the only penguin speciesfound on the continent. They are only foundfrom the Namibian coast in the west, to Al-

goa Bay in the east. These charismatic,flightless birds are classified as endangeredaccording to the IUCNRed List of Threaten-ed Species.It is estimated that, at the turn of the cen-

tury, the African penguin population num-bered approximately 1.5m.

These enigmatic birds face extinction inthe wild as their numbers continue to de-cline dramatically, with just over 18 000breeding pairs left in South Africa.Loss of food source due to overfishing, cli-

mate change and habitat destruction arejust some of the factors taking their toll.African penguins feed mainly on small,

shoaling fish like pilchards and anchovies.This puts them in direct competition withhumans. Studies have found that Africanpenguins have to travel further and furtheraway from their colonies in search of food.This is detrimental to penguin chicks asthey rely on their parents for food and pro-tection. The adult penguins are also suffer-ing, as they have to consume enough fishto sustain them as well as their chicks.V For more information about the celebrations of Afri-can Penguin Day at the Two Oceans Aquarium visitwww.aquarium.co.za.

Locals awaitword on streetNICOLE MCCAIN

As the public has its say on an extensionof Avenue St Bartholomew, some resi-

dents are hoping that disrupted access totheir homes may be a thing of the past.Themajority of affected residents inFres-

naye are in favour of a proposed extensionof the road, believes resident AndrewCanter.In a sample of 20 homeowners, 90% were

in favour of the extension, he says.“Residents of Upper Fresnaye have ac-

cess to our homes limited, subject to disrup-tion, and sometimes blocked.“Inmyown case, Iwas unable to get home

to my infant son during last year’s fires onthe mountain. And it’s not unusual forheavy construction equipment – or evenjust refuse trucks – to block Avenue St Bar-tholomew,” he says.“It seems self-evident that the hundreds

of residents affected by the road closurewillspeak with an overwhelmingly positivevoice on this issue.”The proposed upgrade will see the con-

struction of a section of about 40 metres of

road next to erf 1501, which would link uptwo existing sections of Avenue St. Barthol-omew, connecting at Top Road.Some community members approached

the City with a request to construct themissing section of the street to facilitategreater access to the area, Brett Herron,mayoral committee member for transport,explains.However, other community members are

opposed to it, because once this link is con-structed it will facilitate easier access intothe area and will have a negative impact ontheir personal safety, he says.This public participation process closed

last week.In the meantime, the property is being

leased to a resident who uses it as a drive-way, Herron says.“The lease was terminated but, given the

differences of opinion within the communi-ty, it was agreed to extend the lease on amonth-to-month basis pending a final deci-sion, which will be informed by the publicparticipation process.“In addition, the property is only re-

quiredwhen the construction is set to begin– which is not imminent.”

Direct claimant EdwinaMakgamatha is a survivor of ahit-and-run accident that nearlyclaimed her life and left herpartner seriously injured. To thisday, the driver who caused thehorrific accident five years ago onthe notorious Mabopane Highwayoutside Pretoria, resulting inthe car rolling several times, isunknown.

Edwina heeded RAF’s call to approachthe Fund directly, thus ensuring theirclaim was handled quicker and that theyreceived their full settlement, withouthaving to pay any legal fees. Thanks tothe RAF’s compassionate and professionalhandling of their case, they receivedfull compensation and were granted anundertaking certificate to cater for theirfuture health needs and requirements.

For her physical needs, the RAF ensuredthat Edwina received all mobility disabilitydevices she required such as a wheelchair,a bath bench and pressure mattresses.Furthermore, her home was modified tomake it more accessible for wheelchairuse, while hand controls were installed inEdwina’s car, allowing her to regain herindependence once again.

The 30-year-old mother of two underwenta long and gruelling rehabilitation. Not onlydid she have to deal with accepting herphysical injuries but also with the massive

psychological and emotional traumawhen she realised that she would neverwalk again. However, Edwina credits herrecovery to the enormous psychologicaland emotional support the RAF caregiversprovide.

Today, Edwina has victoriously turnedher pain into a new mission in life – sheis making a difference in the lives ofmany left paralysed by road crashes,especially those living in townships whereservices for the disabled remain poor.Her company, Thusanang (meaning ‘tohelp one another’), has forged close tieswith numerous manufacturers of mobilitydisability products and along with herspecially trained caregivers, refers themfor home and car modifications. She doesmotivational talks, visits rehab centres,supplies medical consumables, and is evenestablishing a driving school for disabledpeople!

“The RAF has not only given me supportduring a hectic period but has alsoassisted me to establish my business,” shesaid. “When I was young, I wanted to bea nurse, and I feel what I’m doing nowis the closest thing to achieving mydream.”

Edwina can be contacted on011 – 453 0480.

From the beginning of this month the buri-al hours at Maitland, Welmoed and Khaye-litsha cemeteries have been extended onSaturdays and Sundays.This is being done for a trial period of six

months.The purpose of the extension is to accom-

modate more burials over the weekend, toprovide amore dignified service in the bus-iest cemeteries and to avoid congestion be-tween noon and 14:00.The extended hours will be on Saturdays

from 08:00 to 16:00 and on Sundays fromnoon to 15:00.Belinda Walker, mayoral committee

member for community services and spe-cial projects, says about 1000 burials amonth take place in Cape Town cemeteries.Saturday is the much preferred day for

funerals at the City’s cemeteries.“We want our cemeteries to be quiet and

dignified spaces where people can congre-gate to bury and mourn their loved ones.But with so many funerals taking place onthe same day, this is no easy task. I believethat the extension of the burial bookinghours on Saturdays at our three largestcemeteries will go a long way towards ad-dressing this challenge,” says Walker.Sunday morning burials for specific de-

nominations will still apply.

Play equipment that is accessible for disa-bled children is being rolled out across

the promenade.This as the Milton play park has alreadybeen equipped with new play equipmentwhichall has anelement tomake themsuita-ble for disabled children.The structures have different featuresthat are custom-made to be used by disabledchildren without them needing to access theslides and staircases that are attached tostandard play structures, explains BelindaWalker, mayoral committee member forcommunity services and special projects.The new play equipment has proven to bevery popular, Walker says, and provisionwill be made for more disability-friendlyplay equipment at parks, Walker says.“This is not the first park with disability-friendly play equipment – Thibault Park in

Brackenfell also has disability-friendly playequipment installed,” Walker says.“The City will continue tomake provisionfor such equipment as andwhen funding be-comes available and where there is noticea-ble interest. Residents wishing to have suchplay equipment installed in their communi-ty parks are welcome to contact their localward councillor for these requests to be tak-en into account,” she says.The multimillion rand upgrade to thepromenade has seen the walkway repavedand the landscaping of play areas improved.The upgrade has been completed betweenthe Pavilion andMilton Road, including im-provements to sections in Mouille Point.Work is scheduled to continue along the restof the promenade.Following upgrades at the Mouille Pointplay park, the ground under the play equip-ment has also been replaced with specialbricks made of soft rubber which gives wayunder impact to reduce injury.

V&A’s craft shed awardedThe new home for African craft and de-sign, the V&A Waterfront’s Watershed,has been recognised twice over for its de-sign and redevelopment at two prestig-ious award ceremonies.The R50m redevelopment of a formercraft market and disused workshop intoa hub for quality African art and designnow known as the Watershed, was recog-nised at this year’s Cape Institute for Ar-chitecture (CIfA) Awards and at the 19thAnnual South African Council of Shop-ping Centres (SACSC) Congress.Formerly the Craft Market and Well-ness Centre and commonly known as theBlue Shed, the historic warehouse struc-ture of the Watershed was opened to thepublic for trade in October last year.

TheWatershedwasoneof only 12devel-opments in the Western Cape to receivea CIfA Award for Architecture this year,with the Institute commending the re-im-agining of a closed, warehouse space intoan open-ended “indoor street”.The Watershed was also named a co-winner in the Redevelopment of ExistingSpace award category at the SACSC Con-gress’s Annual Retail Design and Devel-opment Awards (RDDA).The prestigious awards recognise ex-ceptional shopping centre design com-bined with economic success. They havea particular interest in developmentswith excellent design solutions and thosethat achieve a clear overall developmentgoal.

Local donations help locallyFundraising by the Green Point and Oranje-Kloof City Improvement Districts (GP/OK-CID) this past winter has benefited two localorganisations.The first R1000 raised was donated toBread4Life on Kloof Street. This soup kitch-en feeds more 400 people every week.A further R2000 was raised, which wasused to buy 20 pairs of school shoes for chil-dren at Salesians Institute in Green Point.This organisation is working to change thelives of vulnerable children and youth atrisk through education, social support, lifeskills and vocational training.Commenting on the campaign, GP/OK-CID chief executive Marc Truss says: “We’dlike to extend a big thank you to everyonewho supported the campaign – handing overthe funds raised was a humbling and veryspecial experience, and the photos speak forthemselves in terms of the gratitude ex-pressed by Bread4Life and Salesians.”The idea behind the three-month cam-

paign was to motivate people to supporttheir communities in a responsible way.This was made possible by partnering withSnapScan, so that residents and businessowners could make small donations via theapp.The GP/OKCID plans to raise a furtherR10 000 with which to provide a new pair ofschool shoes to all of the children at Sale-sians.V If you would like to contribute email [email protected].

Our lives have become intrinsically linked with technolo-gy.

We would never dream of leaving the house without acellphone. Not feeling the weight of one in your pocketleaves you feeling vulnerable, naked.

Whilewe’remore connected thaneverbefore,we’ve for-gotten how to actually connect with those around us.

How often do you sit around a table with friends, withat least one person (if not all of them) glued to theirphones?

Cellphones take prized place next to the bed, are alwayskept on full volume and can’t be ignored, even while driv-ing – or at least that’s how we behave.

But when did we forget our manners?When did it become socially acceptable to ignore your

dinner company to reply to a text message or to answeremails while in a meeting?

And surely switching your phone off during an event,concert, movie, wedding or church service should be abasic courtesy.

Yet we regularly find little Tommy’s solo in the schoolplay, the romantic love scene of the latest blockbuster oreven the vows of a bride and groom interrupted by thechirping of a phone.

What does it say about us as a society that money hasto be spent on advertising to ensure cellphones are turnedoff before a movie and priests have to start sermons byasking that cellphones be switched off?

It speaks to a lack of respect for others that we can’teven manage simple cellphone etiquette.

But really, it should be quite simple – if you wouldn’ttalk during the event, others shouldn’t hear your cell-phone.

It’s a courtesy that we should expend without thinking,as simple as saying please or thank you.

So please turn off your cellphone. Thank you.

I am one of ‘those’I lived in a shack made of metal sheets,wood and plastic.

My clothes were always broken anddirty. Now and then I would get a pairof shoes either too small or too big, butit was my shoes. Every morning my dadwould take his trolley, which he some-how got from a supermarket, and withhis thin, dirty clothes and broken shoesleave our shack – our home – to skuddle.

I would later learn what the word“skuddle” meant for my parents and forus children. Every day and night foryears I and my family used the sameblankets, which got thinner and moretorn year after year.

I would play with children around mealso living in shacks and I knew noother way.

At age seven I was taken by my dad tohelp him skuddle. I was so proud, soexcited to go with my daddy to work, toskuddle and so contribute to our surviv-al and to curb the ever-lingering hunger.

We came to big, beautiful brick houseswith big tarred roads, big fences andeverywhere there were shiny cars.Everywhere fat little children my agewere playing and sounding happy inbeautiful, neat clothes.

I thought this was heaven. I then sawbins standing on the pavements and dadexplained to me that “die ryk mense”(the rich people) place their garbage anddirt in these bins. In these bins weregoodies: Items my dad would scratch outand place in his trolley.

I will never forget how I innocently

waved at the uncle and aunties behindthe fences. To my shock I was ignored asif I was a pest, a disease.

But a very few greeted my dad andhanded him a few items of clothing andsome bread.

With my dad’s guidance I helped heapor load plastic, cardboard and metalpieces onto our trolley. In some bins mydad found some clothing and now I knewwhere my “new” clothing came from.

At the end of the skuddle we went tothe nearest scrapyard and my dad gotR53 for his goods. We went to a shopand Dad bought a half loaf of bread, atin of fish, four loose cigarettes for himand Mom, R7 French polony and alollipop for me.

Now, years later, I own my owntrolley and I do my own skuddle. I livein a beautiful country with a wonderfulconcept that is the Constitution thatstates all citizens are equal, so thepeople and the politicians say. And Ihear people preached that in the BibleJesus stated very clearly that one mustlove one’s neighbour as one lovesoneself, and I also hear in our democrat-ic South Africa we have freedom ofmovement and freedom of association,but yet I am called “those people”.

Then my prayer is that you who livein brick homes, who have work, whohave bank accounts and are educated,you or your children will never wear myshoes or clothing and live where I live.

Recklessness will injure on promenade[Recently] my nanny was knocked to theground and left with an ankle injury bya young man careening recklessly on askateboard.

The following day, I saved my daugh-ter from a cyclist travelling at very highspeed. He missed her by a whisker, but Ihave no doubt that if he had not, mydaughter would have suffered severeinjury or worse.

The skateboarder appeared moreworried about his phone than the personhe had injured and hurried off, claimingto be in a rush. The cyclist did not evenslow down.

Reckless cyclists and skaters on thepromenade must be caught and prosecut-ed.

‘Lovelylanguage’ ismarginalisedWe recently celebrated Heritage Monthand Day as a rich, proud nation ofdiversity, the rainbow nation with itseleven languages.

It should not just be a day to take offfrom work but to celebrate our trueidentity, our upbringing, our patriotism,traditions, cultures.

I was born in the lovely town ofUpington in the Northern Cape, aprovince rich with culture and blessedwith the most friendly people.

It is where Afrikaans is proudlyspoken. Where people speak the languagelike poetry. So, it is part of my culture,my upbringing and tradition.

Over the last decade or so I have cometo realise with alarm that this lovelylanguage is being marginalised, especial-ly at schools. If a parent wants to enroltheir child whose home language isAfrikaans, they have limited options.

They are then indirectly forced to puttheir children in English-speakingclasses. This then forces the child to notbe confident in class, to feel overwhelmedand struggle and in some cases it is acontributing factor to the drop-out figure.

In Mitchell’s Plain, for example, thereare very few Afrikaans classes forentry-level education and some parentshave to look outside the area. I am quitesure the department knows about thesituation but “fiddles while Rome burns”and want to be politically correct.

I read that the department wants tointroduce Mandarin as well as anAfrican language into the school sylla-bus, which is good if it makes ourchildren more marketable but not at theexpense of other equally importantlanguages.

Let us be accommodating in our proudheritage in our quest for true nationbuilding.

Lank leef Afrikaans.C. BASSON,

ward committee member

Choir, guests recreate WWII lifeLOUISA STEYL

@LouNotes

“To be part of a 75th anniversary is al-ways special, but to be part of a memo-

rial event for that period of time is really spe-cial.”So says Barrie Jones, treasurer and chor-

ister of the Cape Welsh Choir. The all-malegroupwill be presenting a really special con-cert to commemorate the 75th anniversaryof the Battle of Britain on Wednesday 28 Oc-tober.The choir has been presenting an annual

commemorative concert at the Simon’sTown Naval Base Church for about the last15 years and has a long-standing relation-ship with the organisers, the RAF Associa-tion of South Africa.With the 75th anniversary being “quite a

milestone”, this year’s concert will be some-thing extra special.“For us it’s a big departure,” Barrie says,

explaining that they would normally go onstage and sing in theWelshmale voice choirstyle.This time round, the Cape Welsh Choir

has put a full production or showcase togeth-er in the spirit of reflecting the “era and cir-cumstances” of the period around WorldWar II.The concert takes place against the back-

drop of a specially-built set that recreates atypical bomb shelter in the London under-ground, with the choir dressed in clothestypical of the era.“It sounds dramatic maybe, but they were

hard times, so there are no pink shirts, forexample. It’s all very staid, working-classstuff.”They’ll be singing medleys of a selection

of well-known songs from the time.“All of those songs were used to embolden

that spirit of resistance.”

Barrie explains that music was used inWorld War II to unify Britain. Many of thesongs were popularised by “the force’ssweetheart”, Vera Lynn.SouthAfrican soloist Yvette Elliott will be

bringing Lynn’s songs to life, complete withperiod costumes. For a bit of variation,they’ll be joined by the “rousing” Cape FieldArtillery Pipes and Drums as well as guestsfrom the UK: The RAF Salon Orchestra withtheir big band sound and theQueen’s ColourSquadron with their precision marchingdisplay.All of this will be neatly threaded together

with a “well-constructed” narrative put to-gether by Reverend Ralph Thornley, a keenamateur historian. “He’s got a wealth of in-formation and knowledge.”

Thornley tells the story of the fourmonthsof theBattle ofBritain, interspersedwith au-dio-visual clips to help recreate the atmos-phere around the war.“I think it’s going to be a very special occa-

sion,” Barrie says, adding: “It’s going to bea once in a lifetime opportunity.”Made up of members from all over the

Cape Peninsula, the Cape Welsh Choir haspresented more than 800 concerts in its 33-year existence. “So, we’ve got a few mile-stones of our own.”The choir’s primary focus is on fundrais-

ing for third parties and so far it’s been ableto help other organisations raise about R3m.Three members have been with the choir

since the beginning: Alan Thompson fromPinelands, Ian Jones from Table View and

Freddie Ahern from Brackenfell.While the average age of the choir mem-

bers is 50-plus, they are always looking fornew and younger members and use everyconcert as a recruitment opportunity.Anyone interested in joining the choir can

contact chairperson Graham Tennison on021 696 1716 or 073 463 1028.Two performances take place at the Clare-

mont civic centre on Wednesday 28 Octoberat 15:00 and 19:30. Tickets from Computicketcost R120 and R150 each for the respectiveperformances and proceeds will go towardsthe RAF (SA) Benevolent Fund.V For more information about the Cape Welsh Choir,visit capewelshchoir.co.za or find them on Facebook.Visit the Rodney Kilgour channel on YouTube for ataste of what to expect.

The Cape Town Cycle Tour hasannounced that it has bandedtogether with five other mass

participation cycling events toform the World Association of Cy-cling Events (WACE).The constitution of the new asso-

ciation was announced in Romelast week.WACE comprises six of the most

prestigious and largest mass par-ticipation events in the world,namely:. Cape Town Cycle Tour, theworld’s largest timed cycling event.TDFiveBoroBike Tour, the onlyclosed road mass participation cy-cling event in New York City, with32 000 participants. Vatternrundan in Sweden, thelongest and oldest mass participa-tion cycling event in the worldwith more than 6m kilometres rid-den each year. L’Etape du Tour, one of the mostbeautiful and toughest races rid-den over a stage of the Tour deFrance. RideLondon, the world’s largestfestival of cycling with more than95 000 riders on traffic-free roads inLondon and Surrey. Granfondo Campagnolo Roma, a

unique cycling experience inRomestarting in front of the ColosseumWACE has been formed to pro-

mote and increase cycling world-wide. With more than 200 000 par-ticipants from 90 countries riding

inWACEevents eachyear, theneworganisation should inspire newriders to take up the challenge ofcycling and to encourage riders totravel to participate in otherworld-class cycling events.

“It is a very exciting time for cy-cling with such rapid growth in in-terest and participation,” saidHugh Brasher, president of WACEandevent director forRideLondon.More major international cy-

cling events are set to join WACEand the association is planning thecreation of the “WACE challenge”with awards to riders who takepart in multiple WACE events.“The Cape Town Cycle Tour is

extremely excited and proud to beassociated with the founding ofWACE,” said David Bellairs, di-rector of the Cape Town CycleTour.“It is indeed an honour to be as-

sociated with this grouping of theworld’s most prestigiousmass par-ticipation cycling events.“The Cape Town Cycle Tour has

the promotion of cycling at its coreand the raising of money for chari-ty as key drivers, while at the sametime promoting Cape Town as adestination for cyclists across theglobe.“Working with the amazing

group of events will certainly as-sist us in achieving our aims. Be-ing able to share ideas and know-ledge with event organisers global-ly can only lead to betterexperiences for those participat-ing. It is wonderful that as a resultof the international reach ofWACE, more cyclists from all overthe world will now get to learnabout and discover other events incountries from as far afield asSouth Africa.”

A sizzling volley, 25 yards from goal bydefender Lwandile Soboyise liftedYoung Idols to its maiden Coca-Cola

Cup crown at the Athlone Stadium on Satur-day.TheManenberg outfit waswrapped in glo-

ry after 90minutes of thrilling soccer as theysaw off an equally determined Milan United2-1 in the lucrative Safa Cape Town knock-out competition.The competition is modelled after the

iconic English FA Cup, attracting 532 ama-teur teams throughout the region.Young Idols’ ability to show off its prow-

ess, in which the team members dished upsome silky moves, probably signified theirhunger andwillingness to produce the goodsto walk away as champions.Milano United was not completely out of

it, but the team was not as effective as itsYoung Idols counterpart, playing good soc-cer, but in thewrongareas.Wheneventuallygiven the opportunity to score twice throughstriker Fawaaz Basadien, they failed to con-vert their chances into goals.That squared chances in which their

coach Desmond Crowie shook his head invain.The boys in the white and green shirts

were spurred on by the brass band from theManenberg community. Like a 12th man,the band lifted the players. The moment of

magic arrived in the 73rd minute whenLwandile Soboyise put up his hand, whizzedpast the first two defenders before turninghis body in and out of the next fourmarkers.He thenunleashed from25mavolley that leftMilano United’s custodian Kyle Johnsonclutching invisible straw.That turned out to be the decisive match-

winner that had theR35000 prize and the tro-phy engraved in Young Idols’ name on a ped-estal.While Crowie and hisMilano players’ nos-

es were left buried in the turf – shocked anddisappointed, they still earned R20 000.The three Coca-Cola Cup finals:
