Pizzeria windowssmashedSTEFNI HERBERT

A KENILWORTH pizza restauranthas come under repeated vandal-

ism - forcing the new owner to replacethe storefront windows.

The St Elmo’s pizzeria, on the cornerof Lansdowne and Belvedere roads, hasrecently had a transfer of ownership. Thenew owner, Waheed Ebrahim, has had toreplace the shop’s front windows threetimes.

The culprit has been caught on closed-circuit television when Ebrahim trainedthe camera on the windows.

The manager, Lorinda van Nieuwenhu-izen, said each time it was blatant vandal-ism as nobody accessed the store after-wards. The windows, which are shatter-proof, required tremendous force tobreak.

Van Nieuwenhuizen says the store wastaken over on 27 February, with the firstattack taking place on 3 March. “The sec-

ond incident happened about two weekslater when they broke one big window. Onthe third occasion they broke both big win-dows.”

The cameras shows a man using abrick to smash in the windows.

Van Nieuwenhuizen says, “The camer-as recorded a car stopping on the oppo-site side of the road, a man getting outand throwing a stone at the window. Dur-ing one of the incidents the camera re-corded the person bending down to pickup a stone and from that we could see thehalf of his face.”

Replacing the windows and reprintinglogos would cost just under R16 000.

The owner of a nearby restaurant saidshe’s never had such vandalism in thethree years she has had the store. Herbiggest problem is vagrants who sleepoutside the store and defecate on thesidewalk.

The owner, who prefers not to benamed, says, “The problem with the va-grants is that they do not clean up after

themselves and my staff now have toclean the sidewalk at the beginning ofeach day.

“I’ve spoken to the municipality and tothe police, but nothing has been done.There is a school next door and it is un-healthy for them as well.”

The experience has left in bitter taste.Van Nieuwenhuizen says, “It’s not a goodexperience when the property where youspend the majority of your day is vandal-ised. The store would be here for sixyears in September. I started workinghere a month after the doors wereopened in 2006 and during that time, thishas never happened.”

Ebrahim and Van Nieuwenhuizen areconsidering preventative measures, in-cluding installing retractable burglar bars.

Dear reader,

Excelling in the sales arena in today’s highlychallenging economic times, is a tall order. Adouble-dip recession has seen many busi-nesses fold and crippled others to within awhisker of extinction.

Millions of over-indebted South Africanshave had to place themselves under debt re-view.

Given this context, People’s Post is veryproud of our advertising representatives Sher-yl Haupt and Michelle Poggenpoel, who on Fri-day scooped awards (see page 1) for salessuccess at the WP Newspapers Representa-tive of the Year ceremony.

Retaining clients versus es-tablished competition can onlybe as a result of delivering con-sistent quality service; applyinginnovative sales strategy.

On the topic of business, I at-tended Islamic Relief South Af-rica’s inaugural businessbreakfast last week and washeartened by the strong entre-preneurial spirit that exists inour communities. I was in-spired by the determinationand honesty with which smallbusinessmen and women keepgoing; not dependent on formal employment,and at the fountain of talent.

I had a taste of entrepreneurship during myfreelance and self-employed years betweenjournalism.

I sold everything; from clothing and food toloo paper and a transport service. I know howdifficult it is to bring home a few rands, let alonehundreds and thousands.

One of my clients, who had not paid severalof his suppliers, eventually had to face the mu-sic for his unethical dealings. I was one of afew whom he had owed zero, because I stoodup to him and demanded cash every time myvehicle transported his supplies.

You have to be tough in business, especiallywhen you’re self-employed and have no pro-tection other than your instinct. You bag theprofits; so too the risk. You cannot undersellyourself; factor in your labour, time, petrolcosts, electricity, phone bill and every other

running expense, before setting a price that’stoo low. It must be worth your while; you’re init for the money!

On a lighter note, I’ve started running. After17 years, I’ve overcome my fear of running,all thanks to the Lion of Africa/Itheko SportAthletic Club’s head coach Farouk Meyer.

Coach extraordinaire, Farouk took me, mycolleague Edwin Scott and about a dozen oth-er novice runners on the road and up the hilllast week, literally.

None of us would have believed at the out-set of our run that we could complete a 5kmrun complete with a steep hill. I made somefriends along the way. Like me, some of the

other women were anxiousabout running. I had images ofcollapsing along the road andhaving to be embarrassinglycarried back to base camp.

I’ve always been a runner,until I was told by the coach ofa walk/run programme that I’ma walker. And that’s what I be-lieved, but no longer. It’s earlydays yet, but my challenge isclear: train for the next sixweeks to complete a 10km runin the Jive Slave Route Chal-lenge on 27 May.

The club caters for begin-ners to elite runners and trains twice a weekat Rhodes High School in Mowbray, meetingat 18:00 on Tuesday or Thursdays.

I’m bracing myself for my next run tomorrow.Wish me luck.

Till next time, go well!ConnectED is a weekly column by People’s

Clean-up buffers Garfield Road - fornowSTEFNI HERBERT

HOMELESS people squatting on thebuffer in Garfield Road have – literally– been getting up the noses of theirneighbours.

Residents and businesses have had toexercise extreme patience and restraintwhen a group of homeless people soughtshelter on the land.

A unit of the City’s department of solidwaste cleaned up the land, which had dirtstrewn everywhere, leaving a pungentodour in its wake. There are no ablutionfacilities for the homeless and com-plaints included the presence of humanfaeces in the area.

Louisa Hammon, manager at PlasticsWarehouse, says: “We have lost custom-ers because of this problem, the smell isterrible and people don’t want to comeback.

“There were a few occasions wherewe have had to close our doors becausethey make fires and the smoke travels in-to the store.”

When People’s Post visited the area,council workers were clearing the area,loading dirt into bags. Workers eventual-ly filled about 20 bags.

A resident, who wants to be known on-ly as Terry, says: “They need to clean thearea if they are going to allow them tolive there – and they need to do it regular-ly.”

The area was previously cordoned off,but all that remains of the barriers are thepoles.

Cars park on the land, while the vege-tation is not maintained and there is litterall over.

Hammon says: “Some customersthink the land is our responsibility and wehave to keep it clean. The vagrants alsobother the customers in that they pretend

to be the car guard, but we employ ourown car guard and sometimes he cleansup after them as well, even though it isnot his job.

“Sometimes they sleep and defecatein our receiving bay and we have to cleanit because the smell will travel throughthe store.” There seems to be no shortanswer to the addressing the problem.Ward 58 councillor Matthew Kempthornesays: “This is an ongoing problem. TheDisplaced People’s Unit will raid the areaevery week, but the public must under-stand we cannot arrest people for beinghomeless.” Kempthorne cautionedagainst aiding the homeless. “The publicneeds to help the City in that they shouldnot be giving food and money, but in-stead support the shelters and organisa-

tions like U-Turn and the Haven. Theycan make donations and buy meal tick-ets.”

Kempthorne said he would meet withbusinesses and a public participationmeeting would also be held to determineplans for rehabilitation of the vacant land.

BUFFED UP: The buffer on Garfield Road, in Kenilworth, has fallen into neglect.During a clean-up City workers collected about 20 bags of refuse. The areais being inhabited illegally by homeless people. A number of private cars wereparked on the site. Photo: Stefni Herbert

LIVING QUARTERS: There is evidence that homeless people have setup sleeping areas in this area. Many of their belongings, including cratesand roll-up mattresses, were left behind. Photo: Stefni Herbert

Are car guards a blessing ornot?SUMMER JACOBS

WE’VE all experienced it; theuncomfortable situationwhere a car guard stares atyou through your car window,after you’ve only popped intoa shop for five minutes.

Considered by some aschancers trying to make a quickbuck and by others as noble fortrying to make a clean living,they have certainly made theirpresence felt in car parks rang-ing from shopping centres tonight clubs.

People’s Post took to thestreet to find out where yourviews lie regarding theseguards and just how much theyshould be tipped?

BREAD ANDBUTTER:“Some of thesecar guards arehighly qualifiedforeigners whocan’t make a liv-ing in their owncountries. Theyare willing to doanything to putfood on the tableand I find thatadmirable,”says NadiaMoore fromPlumstead Pho-to: Summer Jacobs

BAD SEEDS: “Certain places such as the parking lots of nightclubs have cars broken into by the car guards on duty. Theyknow people will leave their cars unattended for a long periodand they take advantage of that. These thieves, dressed up ascar guards give the actual car guards a bad reputation,” saysLynn Siljeur from Zeekoevlei

PEACE OFMIND: “I think itdepends onwhere you areparking your car.I feel safe know-ing there issomeone late atnight in the park-ing lot when I amwalking to my caralone,” saysJonathan No-vember fromWynberg.Photo:Summer Jacobs

COMMISSION: “I don’t think we should tip car guards if theyare getting a salary. We don’t know if they are getting paid bythe government for the service they are providing. If they are,it means we are basically giving them commission,” says SonicaKoopman from Pinelands. Photo: Summer Jacobs

DOUBLESIDED: “This is a difficult one because on the one handit’s job creation and on the other hand it depends on where youare and how long you will be spending there. If you are onlypopping into the shop for ten minutes and parking in a busyparking bay, it seems pointless to tip the car guard,” says MosesKwisomba from Lotus River. Photo: Summer Jacobs

Gobodwana gets 25 years for murderSTEFNI HERBERT

NELSON Gobodwana was sentenced to 25years’ imprisonment in the Wynberg Magis-trate’s Court for the murder of Claremonthresident Cecily Clark.

Gobodwana, 25, from Gugulethu, brokeinto Clark’s home in February 2011 andstrangled her to death after she confrontedhim in her lounge, where she was watchingtelevision.

She was alone at home at the time.When Clark’s husband John returned

home, Gobodwana attacked him as well.He pretended to lose consciousness and

while Gobodwana ransacked the house, healerted a private armed response companyby pressing the emergency button.

ADT responded and on arrival caughtGobodwana fleeing the Clark home with abackpack and wheelie bin.

They restrained him and notified the con-

trol room to contact the police.Clark, who is originally from Dublin, Ire-

land, was a physiotherapist.People’s Post contacted John for com-

ment on the sentencing, but he refused todiscuss it.

Clark has three children, two live in Lon-don and Australia, and one in South Africa.

THE Department of Health has set up ahelpline, manned by a pharmacist, to helpthose in need of urgent medication whilesome areas experience a delay in the is-suing of chronic medication.

This comes after the new service pro-vider responsible for the delivery of medi-cine parcels to public health facilities ex-perienced initial problems as an improveddispensing system is introduced.

Patients were forced to queue for hoursat government health facilities in recentweeks after the data transfer of 200 000patient files to the new contractor, UTiPharma, caused the delay.

New business processes and the useof new equipment also impacted on thedelivery service.

The department and the service provid-er have been dispensing medicines man-ually while the systems were activated.

However, a government spokespersonreports that the delivery of pre-packedprescriptions has now been resumed atmany facilities.

Provincial health minister TheunsBotha says that the Western Cape is“pushing new boundaries” in terms ofmedicine dispensing.

“The new contract with UTi outlined ex-pansion to new outlets and posed newchallenges for the provider. What we arenow experiencing are teething problems,

but they are in the process of being re-solved.”

“However, we do apologise to our pa-tients for the disruption and inconven-ience this has caused. We believe that inthe long term it will alleviate long queuesat facilities and bring about an improvedservice.”

Those experiencing difficulty in collect-

ing their medication can phone the hel-pline on 083 472 9300, where a pharma-cist can help by guiding patients to thenearest 24-hour facility where prescrip-tions can be obtained.

Residentialrobberies onthe increasePolice are asking residents of Rondebosch to be extremely vigi-lant, especially at night. This was after they noticed a suddenincrease in robberies in residential areas.

Captain Angie Latchman says the “modus operandi” of the sus-pects is to follow people when they leave shopping malls, restau-rants, petrol stations and video outlets in the vicinity of Milner andBelvedere road between 20:00 and 23:00.

Vehicles used by suspects in previous cases include a Volkswa-gen Jetta 2 with faded headlights and a dark metallic colouredVolkswagen Golf 4. Registration numbers for both vehicles are un-known and police urges residents not to confront the drivers of thecars, because they are armed and dangerous. Rondebosch Commu-nity Improvement District Manager, Shirley Aldum says, “Thus far,four incidents have been reported and victims have been robbedof their jewellery, among other possessions.

“In the four incidents, victims reported the suspects to be not ag-gressive, but stern and armed.

“They are three or four males with dark complexions. They followyou into your driveway and escort you into your home where theytake belongings such as handbags, big screen televisions and vehi-cles.”

Aldum says the suspects are looking for upmarket cars and whilethe car may be stolen, it is recovered because there are most likelytracking devices attached to them.

Police recommend residents follow the following safety tips whichcould be a preventative measure:

•If you feel that you are being followed, drive to the nearest policestation so you can be escorted home.

•Request the assistance of your security provider to meet you atyour residence, especially if you are arriving home late.

•Always check your rear-view mirrors to see if you’re being fol-lowed.

•Report all suspicious persons and vehicles to your local policestation. Since these incidents have been reported, Rondebosch po-lice has embarked on an intensive crime prevention operation whichinclude stop searches and high visibility patrols. The community areencouraged to contact the following sector vehicles if they comeacross suspicious persons or vehicles in the area: Suburb Sector- 082 378 9264 or Central Sector - 082 378 9289.

‘Waddle’ youdo for AfricanPenguins?THE 2012 Penguin Promises Waddle for a Weekstarted yesterday and will end on Saturday 21April. During this time, a group of intrepid “Wad-dlers” will walk from Gansbaai to Simon’s Town(120 km) to raise awareness about the plight ofthe African Penguin.

The Penguin Promises Waddle for a week isan Animal Keepers Association of Africa (AKAA)initiative and the group consists of animal keep-ers from the Two Oceans Aquarium, uShakaSeaworld, National Zoological Gardens, LoryPark and SANCCOB.

The first “Waddle” took place in 2011 and sawcoastal communities from Gansbaai to Simon’sTown rally behind the “Waddlers” and supportthem on their walk. This year’s “Waddle” is madepossible through the generous sponsorship ofCape Nature and a vehicle sponsorship fromChrysler Jeep Dodge in Century City.

The African Penguin currently faces manythreats and the population is dwindling at analarming rate. Scientists believe that they couldbe extinct in the wild within 15 years. Loss offood sources due to overfishing, climate changeand habitat destruction are just some of the fac-tors taking their toll on African Penguin numbers.

Current data suggest that there are only about60 000 of these endemic birds left on southernAfrican shores.

The “Waddlers” call on all South Africans topromise to make a change in their daily lives thatwill effect positive change in the environment,like promising not to use straws, or to showerrather than bath or to stop using single use plas-tic bags.

These changes can have an immensely posi-tive impact on the environment when they aremade collectively. The “Waddlers” are encourag-ing people to walk with them for as long as theycan and to make their promise at www.penguin-promises.com. The final day of the “Waddle” willsee the group leave from Muizenberg at 9:00.They aim to reach Simon’s Town (a distance of15km) at about 13:00 and would love many Ca-petonians, dressed in black and white, to jointhem.

The Penguin Promises Waddle for a Weekcampaign is not a fundraising campaign. In-stead, the campaign focuses on raising aware-ness about the plight of the African Penguin andencourages people to promise to change some-thing in their daily lives.

Bursaries available for aspir-ingchartered accountantsNEARLY 300 Thuthuka Bursaries are up forgrabs for talented African and Coloured learnersto study at accredited universities in 2013.

Because there are far less black chartered ac-countants than their white counterparts, theSouth African Institute of Chartered Account-ants (SAICA) is working tirelessly to transformthe profession. As part of its transformationgoals the institute is offering 300 bursaries toqualifying African and Coloured Grade 12 learn-ers who wish to pursue a career as a charteredaccountant but don’t have the money to do so.

Aspiring students must have achieved out-standing Grade 11 results and should have aminimum of 60% in mathematics (5 or aboveon the NSC scale of achievement), not mathsliteracy. The closing date for applications is Mon-day 30 April.

One of SAICA’s prime goals is to strengthen thecountry’s economy by playing a significant andleading role in transformation and skills develop-ment. Through its transformation initiatives, theThuthuka Bursary Fund (TBF) and Thuthuka Edu-cation Upliftment Fund (TEUF), SAICA plans totransform the demographics of the profession toreflect those of the country in terms of race andgender.

One such beneficiary of the fund, Kim Jacobs,from Toekomsrus, East of Johannesburg, is oneof the youngest of three children raised by her sin-gle mother and the first member of her family togo to university.

Kim is just one of more than 1000 Thuthuka-funded university students who are currently study-ing towards qualifying as chartered accountants.

Tasked with boosting the number of black char-tered accountants, Thuthuka is a holistic pro-gramme, designed to nurture promising Africanand Coloured students from high school, throughuniversity, their workplace training and ultimately,to prepare them for their qualifying examinations.

Nthato Selebi, Project Director of SAICA’sThuthuka Bursary Fund says, “This is not just mon-ey paid over to the students. We address the stu-dent’s broader lifestyle needs via a comprehensive

programme and work with the students as a group.”Selebi goes on to explain, “When a TBF student

gets to a SAICA accredited university they will becovered for textbooks, their accommodation in res-idence and meals. They will also be given extraclasses, tutorials, mentoring, life skills training,workplace readiness and any other non-academicsupport they might need on their path to becominga chartered accountant.”

He stresses that it is imperative that learners areaware that maths literacy is not accepted or recog-nised when applying for a Thuthuka bursary, butthat core mathematics is. “Universities also gener-ally require any learner intending to study a B Comaccounting degree to have mathematics as a mat-ric subject.”

Selebi points out that the TBF has proven itselfas an effective solution to addressing the skillsshortage in the country. Evidence of such effective-ness is reflected in the remarkable success of thefirst seven years of implementation.

TURNINGDREAMS TO RE-ALITY: Nthato Se-lebi is the ProjectDirector of theSouth African In-stitute of Char-tered Account-ants’ (SAICA)Thuthuka BursaryFund. The fundaims to give 300bursaries to Afri-can and ColouredGrade 12 learn-ers.

Babies in jailTHE gestation period for humans is nine months.Incarceration for criminals can be anything fromtrial-awaiting to a lifetime without parole.

So what to do about pregnant inmates? Shouldthey be allowed to keep their babies, or would itbe in the child’s best interest to be removed froma mother who is in prison? There are no easy an-swers.

The effects of crime are evident worldwide. Au-thorities are faced with an uphill battle to stymiecrime. Overcrowding in prisons and the ease withwhich released convicts return to old habits addto the burden. These are the known variables.

A more subjective factor would be a child’s re-sponse to being raised by an absent mother. Sucha child would be denied a mother’s touch, voiceand nurturing. Such a mother would be denied thechance to love her child and, it is hoped, halt recidi-vism.

One cannot, therefore, divorce the moral obliga-tion to both mother and child.

The psychological factor – that prison is noplace for a child – cannot be overlooked. In a soci-ety which fails so many other children – throughits failure to aid the abandoned, abused and ne-glected – should an imprisoned mother not havethe right to be with her child?

The argument in favour of inmates keeping theirchildren, even for a limited time, could be bol-stered by the hope of breaking the cycle of repeatoffending, curbing children of inmates from be-coming offenders, and facilita-ting that most basicof human needs: bonding between a mother andchild.

A study in an American prison found that of 65inmates who took part in a prison nur-sery projectcompared to a control group of 30 inmates whohad had their babies removed 72 hours after birth,17% of the first group returned to jail. Half of thecontrol group did.

The bottom line could very well be at issue. Au-thorities should weigh up the cost of inmates keep-ing their babies in prison versus that of keepinga convict.

Medical aid bluesWHY is it that one has to fight with medical aidsin order for them to refund on chronic medication?

When they first sell you the policy, you are as-sured that you will be receiving the best service.Sign up and see what happens. The best medicalaid is your bank where you can receive interestinstead of wasting your money on these MedicalAid firms.

They seem to forget that without you, theywouldn’t exist. To make matters worse they havethe audacity to deduct monies due to you because

of their negligence or laziness in not requesting thepharmacists or doctors for codes that only theyknow. Yet the increases which are levied yearlythey never neglect. There are many people whohave cottoned onto this and have now investedtheir money into a “special” account in the bank.If one must pay 50% of all fees, then what doesthe exorbitant amount one is paying to the medicalaid, cover?V G BEHRENSPinelands

Please, Mr PostmanI AM very disappointed in the Post Office. Itseems that their service is getting worse! I amwaiting for more than a month already for a parcelthat is supposed to take less than a week to arriveand a letter that was supposed to take two days,took two months to reach its destination. The PostOffice has cost me so much time and money in

the past already. I was hoping that they would gettheir act together, but it looks as if it’s going frombad to worse. To make matters worse, you don’treceive apologies for bad service.JASMINE UYSAllicedale

Kudos, every step of thewayTHE organisers of the 2012 Two Oceans Ultra56km and 21.1km Half Marathon races must becomplimented for a superbly and well organisedevent, despite the inclement weather, whichthreatened to “destroy” our spirits.

With a record number of 26 000 runners partici-pating in this year’s race, the enthusiasm and ex-citement was exhilarating. It was the first time thatI experienced the rainy, cool weather in this, myfourth half marathon, and with much trepidation,my two brothers and I, whom admittedly did notput in the required training to run a sub three hourrace, were unfazed by the drenching downpouras we reached the torturous Southern Cross inConstantia. The camaraderie and tenacious de-termination of my fellow runners was aboundingand the rain did very little to dampen their spirits.

Unbeknown to us, while contending with theheavy downpour on the road disaster had struckfor the organisers at the finish line, when the time-keeping clock, media advertising merchandiseand balloons were blown over by a strong gustof the treacherous south-easter! It did very littleto mar proceedings which proceeded unabatedand undeterred by the ghastly weather.

The dedicated marshals braved the torrents ofrain well insulated in waterproof attire, ensuringour safety and deserve a medal, while the medicswere always in sight hoping for the Cape Doctor

to make an appearance. Thankfully, there werenot many reported emergencies or injuries duringthis year’s race.

Optimistically, the steady rain ensured that wedid not have to hydrate as regularly as required,which usually attributes to the unnecessary lossof time at the refreshment stations, and this con-tributed positively to our excellent finishing time.

With the finish line in sight and the soggy UCTrugby field under my feet, I heard with much jubi-lation and enthusiasm, announcer, Paul Kaye,excitedly proclaim that he hoped that the mostbeautiful race would attract approximately 30 000runners next year, and with over forty percent ofthe half marathon participants being novices thisyear, the possibility is certainly achievable.

Well done and thanks to all the runners andsponsors for ensuring that the Mother City playshost to the most beautiful race in the world. We’rewith you every step of the way!MARK KLEINSCHMIDTKENWYN

New life for prison ba-biesUNATHI JACK’S baby son was terrified whenshe took him outside for the first time aftermonths in a cramped jail cell cut off from theworld.

Now, one-year-old Chibueze confidentlyroams about in the country’s first dedicated unitto ensure that babies in lock up are not punishedfor their mothers’ crimes at the notorious Polls-moor prison.

“He’s got space now to move up and down,”says Jack, who is serving a five-year sentencefor drug possession.

“When he’s outside, he doesn’t want to go in-side the house again – he wants to be there, out-side.”

Sitting in the unit’s cosy crèche filled with toysand learning aids, Jack is one of four motherswho have moved into a quiet part of the prisongrounds that is a child-friendly oasis behind ra-zor-wire topped walls.

Unlike the grim womens prison, where 518women live in a space meant for 329, the inmateshere share a former staff house where the bed-room doors are ordinary wood and the front dooris open during the day.

The women are free to move about, with a yardand a spacious grassy playground. They are alsoallowed to cook their own food in an unusuallyliberal jail setting to allow as normal an environ-ment as possible behind bars for a child.

“We are hoping that this will expose them toa life that is close to normal but will also contributein breaking the cycle of crime,” explainedNontsikelelo Jolingana, national chief deputycommissioner for development and care.

With the first years of a child’s life regarded asthe most important, babies growing up in cellsare shaped by prison life and are often trauma-tised on leaving.

“They haven’t seen anything other than thefour walls that they were kept in. Therefore, eventhe mental development of the child becomes af-fected,” says Jolingana.

“We thought that if we opened facilities of thisnature, we are giving these children a chance,because our emphasis is that they have not com-mitted a crime.”

Marlise Howell, an instructor with BabyGym,a programme that helps teach baby massageand motor skills says, “What we saw is that insti-

tutionalised babies’ brain development is not onpar with babies outside.”

“Everything is close up, they cannot developtheir far vision properly and they don’t have differ-ing experiences.”

For mothers serving long sentences, the re-prieve is temporary as the children legally haveto leave prison for foster care or relatives oncethey are two. The mothers are sent back to serveout the rest of their term.

In the meanwhile, they relish the gentler settingand seeing their babies react to the stimulationand play.

“There’s a big difference because this is moreof a home environment,” says convicted shoplift-er Rafieka Rajab (26) whose 3-month-old daugh-ter, Ameerah, spent her first month in the mainwomen’s section.

Apart from missing her family, she admits:“There are times when I feel like I’m not in prison,it feels like I’m home.”

The baby-centric setting means that some ofthe little ones are introduced to new things notavailable to many on the outside, such as mas-sages and being bounced on an exercise ball.

The doting prison staff are equally taken withthe young charges in the relaxed environment,where mothers can move around at night if need-ed and chortles and squawks fill the air insteadof jarring prison noises.

With some 70 babies currently in South Afri-ca’s prisons and 20 pregnant women in Polls-moor alone, authorities have opened anotherunit in Durban and plan two more later this year.

South Africa has one of the world’s highestcrime rates, and the move to accommodate thebabies has not been without “five star hotel”mumblings – but authorities are adamant that ba-bies are not convicts and say prison rules still ap-ply.

“We tell you what time you wake up, we tellyou what time to eat, what time to wash, whattime to do whatever – so it’s still a prison,” saidJolingana.

Adversity moti-vates accountingstudentTHE inabilityof her parentsto pay for heruniversityfees and thefact that noone in her ex-tended familyever reachedmatric onlyserved as amotivatingfactor for Tu-mi Hartnickfrom Wood-stock.

Her hardwork has payed off and she will graduate forher National Higher Certificate (NHC) in Ac-counting, at CPUT.

She worked at a meat market in her town-ship to pay for extra Mathematics classesduring her matric year in 2006. This deniedher a lot of study time, but she had no choice.

Every single day customers at the marketwould say: “I don’t want fat please”. She says,“I knew that this could not be my life. I savedevery cent I could so that I could get out ofthe meat market.”

Her hands were forever cold and she wouldalways pick up the flu. Her meager savingswere not enough to take her to varsity. Herbelief that her unemployed parents had al-ways saved money for her studies turned intoshock when they told her the opposite. Hart-nick never despaired but kept on workingwhile applying for better jobs that could allowher to register at varsity. An opportunity pre-sented itself at a furniture shop in Diep Riverwhere she worked as a temp doing adminis-tration work. This is where she got her initialaccounting experience as a Creditors Clerkand went on to be appointed on a full-time ba-

sis.All was not well yet because her salary

couldn’t cover the cost of studying.It was only in 2009 that she managed to

register for the NHC in accounting at CPUT’sCape Town campus. The part-time study ex-perience included leaving classes early tocatch the last bus home. Winter was worsebecause it got dark quicker.

“I’ve been mugged and robbed of my text-books and bus fare but none of these mishapshave made me lose sight of my goal to bethe first university graduate in my family. Andnow, three years later, I will be graduating withmy NHC Accounting. I’ve decided to continuethis year with my national diploma,” she says.

Tumi is currently employed as a creditorsclerk at Vodacom’s Western Cape Head Of-fice.

Cape Towncould miss outon AfconCAPE TOWN could miss out on hosting anygames during next year’s African Cup of Nations(Afcon) if the local government cannot agree onseveral key issues with the South African FootballAssociation and the Afcon Local Organising Com-mittee. The 2013 tournament was originally meantto be hosted in Libya, with South Africa hostingthe 2017 installment, but the two nations swappedhosting rights last year after that North Africancountry was beset by political unrest.

Cape Town was one of several major municipal-ities invited to bid to host matches, and it seemedlikely that the City would be successful. However,this has now been thrown into doubt after the Cityof Cape Town sought clarity from SAFA and theorganising committee on several pressing issues,many of them financial. According to CouncillorGrant Pascoe, Mayoral Committee Member fortourism and marketing, these will need to becleared up before the City will agree to host anygames.

“The City of Cape Town has repeatedly high-lighted its concerns with SAFA about certain con-tractual obligations and the impact that the possi-ble undefined costs could have on both CapeTown and other municipalities, especially in lightof substantial service delivery needs,” said Pas-coe in a statement released last week.

“The City of Cape Town accepted the South Afri-can Football Association’s invitation to bid as ahost city for the 2013 African Cup of Nations (Af-con) tournament. This was seen to coincide withthe City’s strategic position of being a competentand attractive tourism and events destination.However, the cost of hosting the Afcon games willhave to be carefully weighed against other press-ing socio-economic imperatives currently facingthe city.”

The key sticking points in the deal are the antici-pated levels of expenditure required from the City,the time required to obtain the necessary legisla-tive authority from the City’s administration to incurthe necessary expenditure, the low amount of pro-spective income the tournament would bring, theassignment of roles and responsibilities, and theinclusion of guarantees from national governmentabout the hosting arrangements in the agreement.

THE Cape Town club rugby season kickedoff with a bang this weekend when Colle-gians RFC and Primrose RFC faced off ina frenetic, intense encounter at the Len-tegeur Sports Complex on Saturday.

The game has grown into somewhat of agrudge match in recent seasons and it wasclear that both sets of players were desperateto claim bragging rights until the next time theteams met.

Primrose gained the ascendancy inthe opening stages of the first half as

their powerful pack of forwards kept the teamrumbling towards the opposition try line andcreated the momentum necessary for theback division to profit.

The pacy Primrose back three were keptaway from the whitewash only by the commit-ted defence of their Collegians’ counterparts.

But the host could not replicate the aptitudethey showed on defence during their attack-ing play, and failure to protect their posses-sion resulted in Collegians trailing 14-5 after25 minutes.

The home side were forced to dig deep andtheir efforts were rewarded in the 30th minutewhen a converted try saw them narrow thepoints deficit.

Collegians resumed their ascendancy inthe second half and managed to pull awayto a 22-17 lead in the 75th minute after anoth-er converted try.

However, the lead was short-lived and twopenalties from Primrose saw them come frombehind to snatch a 22-23 victory in the dyingminutes of the game.

Primrose coach Herman Mashimla said heexpected a narrow victory for either side.

“It’s always great to win here. There’s a lotof history in this kind of contest,” said Mashim-la.

Five of the Collegians players who took tothe field on Saturday were in the U20 teamlast year, and according to coach Adiel Gallie,the loss is part of the learning curve for theyoungsters.

Gallie believes that his side will improve asthe season progresses.

“These youngsters have proven today whathard work does and it’s only the beginning ofthe season,” says Galllie.

“We should take heart from what has hap-pened and learn from the mistakes we made.

“Everybody tried, and I think we are going

to go places this year.”Gallie added that he would work on his

team’s handling and goal-kicking before theirnext match.

Primrose will play Brackenfell at home intheir next game this Saturday, while Colle-gians will travel to Goodwood.
