The amount of alcohol confiscated onbeaches skyrocketed this festive sea-son.
The City of Cape Town’s enforcement staffconfiscated almost 16 796 bottles of alcoholfrom beachgoers, a marked increase in thevolume of alcohol seized compared with thesame period last year, which saw 10 280 bot-tles confiscated.Nearly 40% of all confiscations took place
in the City’s Area East, which covers beach-es between Gordon’s Bay and Monwabisi.Over 6 600 bottles were confiscated frombeachgoers in this area.Beachgoers in Sea Point and the beaches
from Hout Bay to Muizenberg had 5 400 bot-
tles confiscated.Visitors to beaches from Strandfontein to
Wolfgat accounted for just over 2 500 bottles.The possession and consumption of alco-
hol on beach areas is not allowed and offend-ers canget aR500 fine, saysJPSmith,mayor-al committee member for safety and securi-ty.“The rate of alcohol confiscations is sim-
ply astounding. It’s no secret that alcohol isnot allowed on our beaches and the fact thatsomany people continue to do it, speaks vol-umes about their lack of regard for the lawand their fellow residents,” he says.Over a dozen drowning incidents took
place on local beaches, compared to onlythree last year, says Richard Bosman, theCity’s executive director of safety and secu-rity.
“The number of drowning incidents is ex-tremely disconcerting. To be fair, the beach-es have been much busier than usual, butthis is not a statistic that sits well with us,”he says.“We have noticed that people are visiting
beaches after hours when lifeguards haveleft for the day and unfortunately there havealso been a number of incidents where bath-ers have ignored safety warnings and goneswimming in unsafe areas. Drinking on thebeaches and unattended minors also playeda role,” he says.Soaring temperatures have seen an in-
crease in thenumber of beachgoers through-out the season, says Bosman.“We usually see a massive spike in visitor
numbers to the beaches on priority days liketheDay ofGoodwill andNewYear’sDay, but
this season the numbers were consistentlyhigh because of the hot weather and also theextended holiday weekends.”Elsewhere, enforcement agencies and oth-
er City departments dealt with a raft ofevents, including New Year’s Eve celebra-tions, the Newlands cricket test and theKlopse and Cape Malay Choir events.“I think thatmany people don’t realise the
intensity of the holiday season and the de-mands placed on staff, infrastructure andother resources. For example, we had to re-unite 259 children with their families on asingle day – one ofwhomwas separated fromhis mother for four hours.“But we have learnt to deal with issues of
this nature and, overall, we coped extremelywell under very trying circumstances,” hesays.

Patients try out horse playMove over, man’s best friend. There’s a
new animal bringing comfort andtreatment to patients, specifically individ-uals with mental health problems.Equine assisted psychotherapy (EAP) is
being piloted at Valkenberg hospital.Six male forensic patients, mainly with
a diagnosis of schizophrenia, have been se-lected for the pilot, says Nafisa Abdulla,chief occupational therapist at ValkenbergHospital.“These patients were socially with-
drawn and did not engage spontaneously,they had no major cognitive deficits andsome of them have a history of aggressivebehaviour,” she says.Over an eight week period, patients are
able to interactwith the horses and partici-pate in therapeutic exercises via groomingor setting out obstacles, either in pairs orin groups.“The aim of the pilot project is to im-
prove the participants’ ability to work andfunction in a group, decrease irritabilityand aggressive behaviour, while improv-ing interpersonal and social skills.“Although minor, my team and I have
seen distinctive improvements in the se-lectedpatients during the course of thepro-gramme,” says Abdulla.With similar social and responsive be-
haviour to humans, horses have been not-ed to be a hugely beneficial mechanism intherapy sessions for individuals with a va-riety of emotional and mental health is-sues, says Fiona Bromfield, a trustee at theEquinox Trust.The Trust is a registered non-govern-
mental organisation (NGO) that specialis-es in EAP and equine assisted therapy(EAT).
Although there are many forms of EAT,EAP specifically focuses on the emotionaland mental health of participants.“EAP is an innovative and creative meth-
od for addressing a wide range of therapeu-tic and emotional needs in individuals. It isa short-term, collaborative effort between amental health professional and a horse pro-fessional. Strategic activities are estab-lished for the participant to partake in withthehorse, excluding riding,” explainsBrom-field.Although animal-assisted therapy isn’t
uncommon, horses respond and react differ-ently to other animals, she explains.Because horses are herd and prey ani-
mals, they are highly attuned to changes innon-verbal communication inorder tomain-tain the safety of the herd.
Horse language“Horses are able to accurately assess the
state of being of an individual and communi-cate it non-verbally. Thus, these animalsmake great companions for psychotherapy,because they can mirror and instantly re-spond to human behaviour. There’s also ahealing bond that can develop between hu-mans and horses. EAP utilises this relation-ship with the horse as a tool to mirror a par-ticipant’s experiences and facilitate changeand development.“Participants are able to compare their ex-
periences with the horses to their real-lifeexperiences.”Bromfield says unlike traditional talk
therapy, EAP is a uniquemethodwhich ena-bles participants to learn about themselveswhile they interact with the horse.The observed feelings, behaviours and
patterns are discussed.
“EAP is unique in that it does not requireclients to rideor get on to thehorses; instead,clients are presented with semi-structuredtasks, such as to catch and halter the horse,move it around and get the horse to walkthrough and over obstacles. It is the inter-pretations that participants assign to the in-teractionswith the horses that provide vehi-cles formaking therapeutic improvements,”she explains.The therapist, in turn, takes the partici-
pants’ interpretations from their horse in-teractions and crafts metaphors, which areused during and after the therapy sessionsto help participants with developing and re-trieving emotional and behavioural re-sponses.
Interpretation“This metaphorical process is self-reflect-
ive, encouraging participants to develop in-sight and supporting the identification andexpression of thoughts, behaviour and emo-tions. It is the stories which emerge fromthese metaphors that enable our pro-grammes to have a lasting impact and ena-ble the client to take what he learns wheninteracting with these horses back to hislife,” she says.The process engages participants on a
physical, mental and emotional level simul-taneously, Bromfield says.“As humanswe remember 20%ofwhatwe
hear, 50% of what we see and 80% of whatwedo; thus, ouractionsare the reasons expe-riential learning is so effective.”The Equinox Trust team has worked with
a variety of individuals, including children,families, recovering addicts, abused womenand individuals looking for an alternative totraditional therapies.
Equine therapy is beingpiloted at Valkenberghospital. Here are NafisaAbdulla, chief occupa-tional therapist atValkenberg, FionaBromfield, trustee at theEquinox Trust, Dr MarcRoffey, psychiatrist atValkenberg, NoelineNune, occupationaltherapy technician atValkenberg, RowdahHawtrey, senior occupa-tional therapist atValkenberg, and SarahGarland, trustee at theEquinox Trust.
Illegal toshoot atbaboonsFollowing recent incidents in Scarborough,residents are reminded that it is illegal toshoot baboons with pellet guns.“The City of Cape Town needs to remind
the public that it is illegal to discharge a pel-let gun in an urban area and moreover, bab-oons are a protected species in the WesternCape,” says Johan van der Merwe, mayoralcommitteemember for energy, environmen-tal and spatial planning.Animal welfare organisations condemn
the use of pellet guns on animals as shootinga baboon with a pellet gun causes terriblepain and rarely kills the animal, Van derMerwe explains.“The law also states that it is illegal to feed
baboons; to poison, trap, hurt or kill a bab-oon by driving with the intent to kill; huntby shooting at baboons using a pellet gun,catapult, bow and arrow, stoning, settingyour dog on them or use of a weapon of anykind to injure a baboon; or to keep a baboonin captivity without a permit. All these of-fences carry stiff penalties,” he says.Chacmababoons formpart of thePeninsu-
la’s rich biodiversity and they play a poten-tially significant ecological role in Cape flo-ra.The management of baboon troops in the
Cape Peninsula is undertaken jointly by theCity of Cape Town, Cape Nature, the Navyand Table Mountain National Park, whohave set up the baboon technical team(BTT). The baboon liaison group, which ismade up of residents’ associations, meetsregularly with the BTT.V Report any incidents to the baboon hotline on071 588 6540.

Warren Sparrow, a teacher and head ofInformation and Communication Technologyof Rondebosch Boys' Preparatory School, is afinalist in the Global Teacher of the YearAward.
The additional interventions to helphomeless people over the festive seasonwill run until the end of January.TheCity ofCapeTown’s street people re-
integration unit will work closely withcentral improvement districts and otherorganisations to reduce the number ofpeoplemoving to the streets, as well as an-tisocial behaviour like aggressive beg-ging.The project will focus on the city centre,
Green Point, Muizenberg, Bellville andParow, with the aim of reducing the num-ber of people living on the street throughtargeted interventions like screening peo-ple, distributing information about Cityprogrammes and resources, referrals tosocial and health services and reintegra-tion with their families.It follows a pilot project in the city cen-
tre inDecember 2014, which also signalledthe launch of theCity’s reintegrationunit.The initial deployment focused on a
number of areas like GreenmarketSquare, St George’s Mall, Long Street andthe Grand Parade.The team identified a number of chal-
lenges, including many street people andbeggars caught in the grip of substanceabuse, street people selling donated foodto local vendors for cash, an unwilling-ness to accept help and members of thepublicwho are unaware of theCity’s “give
responsibly” campaign, says Suzette Lit-tle, mayoral committee member for socialdevelopment and early childhooddevelop-ment.“We have daily interventions aimed at
assisting street people, but the festive sea-son does see an increase in people migrat-ing to the streets – whether for potentialeconomic gain or because of family andother social reasons.“Street people cannot, and should not,
bemarginalised, butnor canwe ignore thedaily complaints from across the cityabout the impact street people have on thelives of others,” she says.The reintegration unit facilitated a re-
turn home for 85 people in its first threemonths of operation.“We also have a number of preventative
programmes that arebeing run in commu-nities to preventmore people from endingup on the streets.“It is hard work, because all our inter-
ventions are voluntary. We cannot forceanyone toaccept ourassistance. Somepre-fer the lure of the streets because theydon’t have to account to anyone, but alsobecause it is profitable thanks to dailyhandouts.“I really wish the public could begin to
appreciate how damaging the street cor-ner handouts are to our efforts and alsothe lives of the recipients,” Little says.

A recent heat wave, coupledwith other factors, could see fur-ther water restrictions being im-plemented in the city.Since the start of the new year,
level 2 water restrictions havebeen in place.This will result in price adapta-
tions linked to the 10% reductionin consumption by residents. Thismeans that 10% less water used ina month will cost the same as theprevious water bill.But if residents use the same
amount of water as before, theywill be charged more than previ-ously.Residents are therefore urged to
conserve water.As a result sewage charges will
also be affected as they are calcu-lated as being 70% of total waterused on the property up to a maxi-mum of 3500F.This is to further encourage wa-
ter savings, but also to cover thefixed costs necessary to continueproviding the water and sanita-tion service.

Retailer Pep, which has 70% of the schoolshoemarket and over 57%of the school uni-formmarket in South Africa, says it is com-mitted to finding ways to ease the increas-ing economic difficulty for its customers,who are the first to feel the strain of risingprices of fuel, electricity and food.“Through our research over the years,
one message that has been consistent fromour customers is that their children’s edu-cation takes priority,” explains NobesuthuTom, Pep’s marketing director.“They will often compromise on other
things to pay for school fees, transport toschool as well as schoolwear and station-ery.”Pep has negotiated with its manufactur-
ers to keep the prices of the entry-level Stu-dent Prince synthetic shoe at last year’s pri-ces: R59.99 for girls in sizes 8 to 1 and R64.99for boys in sizes 8 to 1.This shoe is manufactured under the Pep
Student Prince label. The shoe range alsoincludes a higher quality leather shoe:R119.99 for girls (sizes 9 to 1) and R129.99 forboys (sizes 9 to 1).Managing director Leon Lourens says a
key part of Pep’s social responsibility dur-ing back-to-school time is to help its custom-ers with the best possible prices on all uni-form items.“Our constant aim is to bring down the
cost of uniformswithout compromising ourquality, while alsomaintaining stock levelsof all school uniform items throughout theyear.”This year, a Grade 4 (entry-level) uniform

Local schoolsmaintained their 100%matricpass rate from previous years.They include Bishops, Claremont High
School, Rustenberg Girls’ High School, StGeorge’s Grammar School, Vista NovaSchool, Westerford High School, HerschelGirls’ School and Rondebosch High School.However, provincial education minister
Debbie Schäfer says it is important to en-sure the quality of passes.“Given the many challenges our educa-
tion system faces, improving the quality ofeducation is only possible through sus-tained interventions in our schools and thehardworkof thematrics, their teachers anddistrict officials. It is a multi-year process.“We are pleased that this effort is reaping
results,” she says.
There is also growth in thenumber of can-didates writing and passing Mathematicsand Physical Science in the province.Last year a record number of almost
13 000 matriculants passed Mathematics,compared to 11 000 in 2014. The pass ratewas 74.9%.In Physical Science, the numbers passing
increased from 11 000 in 2014 to 12 000. Phys-ical Science candidates achieved a 73.3%pass rate.Emphasis is also placed on ensuring pu-
pils stay in school for as long as possible.“We are very encouraged by the improve-
ment in our rate of retention over the pastfive years. Last year the Western Cape yetagain managed to increase our retentionrate from 63.8% in 2014 to 66.8%,” she says.

Record-breaking numbers of visitors tosome of the city’s top attractions maymeanthis festive season has been one of CapeTown’s busiest holiday periods ever.The cableway and Robben Island saw
soaring visitor numbers, with other big at-tractions also sharing positive forecasts.The cableway had a record December
with 28%more visitors than in 2014, report-edly because the weather was extremelygood and they were open every day.Robben Island Museum recorded the
highest increase in visitors in December –43% more tourists than in December 2014.More tickets were sold than the highest re-corded since 2010 of 43 208.The V&A Waterfront’s visitor figures,
measured at the Victoria Wharf ShoppingCentre only, have also shown an increasefor December compared to the previous
year. The Waterfront also welcomed about180 000 visitors on New Year’s Eve.Kirstenbosch welcomed almost 115 000
people in December, excluding the popularSummer Sunset concert audiences.The increased numbers of visitors can be
attributed to a variety of factors, includingevents such as the Sevens rugby series andthe England vs SA cricket test.The busy festive weeks in December are
very important to the tourism industry, butthe summer season stretches from Octoberto after Easter, explains Cape Town Tour-ism spokesperson Nicole Biondi. “We arevery happy with the December school holi-day period and look forward with cautiousoptimism to a successful summer seasonstill ahead. We’re also looking at 366 daysof tourism this year, as we’re a year-rounddestination.”
