Safehouse raidedASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

A safehouse for abused women and chil-dren experienced a huge blow whenthe property was broken into and

items worth about R45 000 stolen.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 vulnerablewomenand childrenwholive 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. And there have been women andtheir children who have stayed longer, de-pending on their situation.“We take care of these women and chil-dren andprovide themwith a place of safety,away from their abusive homes and part-ners,” she says.The break-in hasmade it difficult for themto take on more people as they are low onsupplies.“Wecanonly accommodate a certainnum-ber of people as we rely on donations andfundraisers who host 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 to helpthe women and children. It is tough for usnow, but somehow we manage. But we docall on the public to support us,” she says.The home has been open since 2012 and ca-ters for women and children from all com-munities. Some of the women who enter thehome come with 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 wherewomenand their children can feel safe. Herewe guide and protect them, but we cannot

do it without the support of the public.”Poggenpoel says after the break-in every-one is feeling vulnerable and scared.“We are only women here and we feel likeour space has been invaded. The little bitthatwehavewas taken fromusand forwom-en and children who come from abusivebackgrounds it is extremely scary,” sheadds.Poggenpoel says that despite the break-intheywill continue to provide a safe space forwomen and children who are victims of sex-ual and domestic violence to live freely andwithout fear and to support and educatewomen and children about their rights andfreedoms.Readers who want to donate or make acontribution toward the safehouse can con-tact Poggenpoel on 081 320 5834.

Healthcare must uphold dignityMental Health AwarenessMonth is cele-

brated annually in October. This yearCape Mental Health will be raising aware-ness around the theme of “Dignity in men-tal health”.One in four people in all communities

have a mental health condition, and one inevery four people has, at some point intheir lives, experienced a loss of dignity be-cause of their mental health condition,says Cape Mental Health director IngridDaniels.“Few people understand the true mean-

ing of dignity, and even fewer realise the

extraordinary impact it has on our livesand relationships. The social exclusion,lack of resources, inequality, discrimina-tion and stigma faced bymany people witha mental illness inhibits the restoration oftheir dignity,” she says.Cape Mental Health is aiming to restore

the dignity of patients and to address exter-nal factors that erode their dignity by offer-ing comprehensive, proactive and ena-bling mental health services in the prov-ince.Despite the existence of legislation, there

are still crucial issues that need to be ad-

dressed and rectified to ensure the dignityof mental health care patients, Danielssays.These include easy and reliable access to

the correct medication, access to commu-nity-based rehabilitation centres, the allo-cation of sufficient beds and resources topsychiatric andotherhealth care facilities,ensuring medical staff have basic trainingin and understanding of mental health andensuring patient participation in treat-ment plans and policy implementation.“Although South Africa has legislation

in place to ensure the protection of the

rights of people with psychiatric and intel-lectual disabilities, it is our ongoing re-sponsibility to ensure that this legislationis implemented so that all South Africansare treated with dignity and respect,” shesays.Michael Hattingh, a member of Cape

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

On Saturday facilities around the world, in-cluding the Two Oceans Aquarium, will becelebrating African Penguin AwarenessDay.The endangered African 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 the Waterfront, 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.The African 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 IUCN Red 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 changeandhabitat destructionare justsome 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 fish tosustain them as well as their chicks.V For more information about the celebrations of Afri­can Penguin Day at the Two Oceans Aquarium visitwww.aquarium.co.za.

Mall thief strikes again to take women’s shoppingASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

Shoppers are warned to be vigilant as thefestive season comes closer. Several

more cases have been reported of womenwho were conned and their belongings sto-len.People’s Post previously reported that

the Wynberg police has seen over 10 casesin which women have been conned into“buying clothes” at half price only to havetheir belongings stolen (“Watch out for‘friendly shop helper’”, 26 May).

Warrant Officer Silvino Davids, spokes-person of Wynberg police station, saysthere have been more incidents recently.

“All shoppers – not only women – need

to be vigilant at all times, as this could hap-pen to anyone. We urge shoppers to neverlet their personal items out of 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 have beentargeting shoppers in a mall in Wynberg.

“Many of the victims were approachedin one specific store in the mall,” he says.

According to the investigating detectivethe suspect somehow convinces the victimthat she is a store employee and can get thevictim “whatever they want for half theprice”.

“The suspect then tells the victim if they

are interested to meet with them outsidethe mall, where about three to four other‘interested buyers’ are waiting,” he says.

The con artist explains that they can on-ly go back into the store with one “interest-ed buyer” at a time.

The suspect asks the women gathered toleave all their belongings, including theirhandbags, cellphones, purses and eventheir shopping bags, with the other “inter-ested buyers” who are waiting for theirturn.

The suspect first takes one of her accom-plices back to the store. This woman re-turns with clothing she says has been pur-chased from the store. “This, however, isonly a way to make the victim trust thatthe suspect is the real deal,” he says.

What happens next is that the victimleaves all her belongings, goes back to theclothing store with the suspect and is toldto pick out what she wants. She is told togo back outside the mall to where the other“interested buyers” are and wait there.

However, the victim realises as soon asshe gets outside the mall to the “waiting ar-ea” that the other three or four “interestedbuyers” are missing – with her belongings.

“This is a well thought out scam and thevictims are easily lured into purchasingitems at a discount price,” he says.

Davids urges shoppers to be careful andnot fall for scams like this one. “If anyonehas any information on the suspects or hasbeen approached in this manner please re-port it to the police,” he says.

Youth rights shown through artASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

Children should live free fromabuse, neglect and exploitation.

This is the message two studentsocial workers brought across toyouth in Vrygrond during a com-munity event.

The aim of the project was to ad-dress the youngsters and bringthem awareness about their rights.

Tamlyn Isaacs, a Retreat resi-dent and fourth-year Social Workstudent at the University of the

Western Cape, along with her col-league Derisia Nimrod, hosted theevent last week.

“We conducted our activities bylooking at artistic ways to makechildren aware of South Africans’Constitutional rights. This in-cludes rap, poetry, drawing,sketching and graffiti to engagewith the youth,” she adds.

Isaacs is currently completingher Bachelor’s degree and doing aninternship at Childline in Wyn-berg.

The Childline Wynberg centre is

part of Lifeline/Childline WesternCape, a non-profit organisationthat works with various communi-ties in the greater Cape Town area.The Childline services includecounselling children individuallyand working with them in groupsand in communities.

The organisation’s help is fo-cused on trauma debriefing, be-reavement or grief counselling,court preparation and support aft-er rape and sexual abuse.

“We believe our country has agreat Constitution but yet so manychildren’s rights are violated.Child protection is everybody’s re-sponsibility. We want a South Afri-ca fit for children. Children’srights are human rights,” Isaacssays.

The workshop took place at theSOZO Foundation, which is situat-ed in Vrygrond.

Isaacs says the Foundation is anNGO creating opportunities for ho-listic development through focusareas, including “youth education,home restoration, food securityand life skills”.

“In order for their work to notonly impact lives and families now,but to be sustainable for years tocome, they commit to form deepand wide foundations in the com-munity through building lastingrelationships with individuals,families, community leaders andother like-minded organisations,”she says. The foundation partici-pates in the community by beingpart of the community.V For more information visit www.lifeline­wc.org.za.

The youngsters who participated received certificates at the end of theworkshop.

Tamlyn Isaacs, a student at UWC, hosted a Vrygrond community event.Emile Jansen, a member of Black Noise, was a guest speaker.

A quick 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.

“We were doing crowd control on thewest side of the beach when we saw theteens swimming. We blew the whistles butthey did not take note. My colleague thenblew the whistle again,” he tells People’sPost.

“The one then got caught in a rip current.His friend then tried to help him and alsogot caught. I noticed he was struggling andmy colleague followed. We managed to getthem out and swam them to shore wherethe one was treated for hypothermia.”

Both teens from Kraaifontein survivedthe ordeal.

“We are very grateful to the Camps Baylifeguards 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 for more than15 years and is one of the 12 new lifeguardspermanently employed by the City of CapeTown (“More lifesavers to guard swim-mers”, People’s Post, 6 October).

The City has these safety tips for bathers:. Swim only where there are lifeguardsand where signs indicate that it is safe.. Do not swim in an area if there are nolifeguards present.. Make sure that the lifeguards can see youwhen you are in the water.. Always swim in supervised swimmingareas, taking care to avoid dangerous ripcurrents 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 andsave others if they are not qualified to doso.

“Like in this case where the boy tried tosave his friend, he also got into trouble,”he says.

Jacobs says he is passionate about savinglives.

He joined the Mnandi lifesaver club in1998 and previously swam for the Gugulet-hu Gunners swimming club.

He encourages youngsters to get in-volved 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.

Patrols lookafter hoodASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

“Be the eyes and the ears of yourneighbourhood watch.”

Through this message SouthfieldNeighbourhood Watch members want toencourage residents to join the organisa-tion to help make the community a saferplace.

Last week the watch, in partnershipwith three other neighbourhood watchesand Diep River police, set out on a patrolin the early hours of the morning.People’s Post joined the neighbour-

hood watch on a patrol last week to seeexactly what they did when out on thestreet.

About 20 to 25 residents and policemembers gathered at the police stationbefore they started their patrol.

Freddie Daniels, vice-chairperson ofthe Southfield Neighbourhood Watch,says when out on patrol their aim is todeter criminals from committing crimein the community.

“Our aim is to ensure that we keep ourcommunity safe and deter any criminalactivity. We need to be proactive if wewant to make a difference here,” he says.

During the patrol they regularly urgeresidents to join the neighbourhoodwatch. Being a neighbourhood watchmember does not mean that you have topatrol as there are many other roles toplay, they say.

“An active member can be someonewalking their dogs to the park. If they see

something suspicious they can report itto the watch or police.

“Even sitting at home in the garden orwatching through the window can be asproactive as someone going out on a pa-trol,” he says.

There are many elderly people in theneighbourhood, Daniels says, who needto be taken into consideration.

“We cannot expect the elderly to patrollike we do and therefore urge residentsto look out for them,” he says.

In driving around on the patrol thewatch members check the parks, canals,open fields and the train station.

“We also check if people have left theirgates and garages open. If it is we stopand knock on their door and alert themto the risk it may be to have their proper-ty open,” he says.

Daniels adds that the train station isone of their biggest headaches as therehave been many reports of people gettingrobbed there in the early hours of themorning.

“Here are many people who rely onpublic transport, like the trains, andthey have no choice but to walk to the sta-tion and wait for the trains. It is unfairthat they fall victim to robbery or anyother crime here,” he says.

Daniels says they patrol the station ar-ea on every patrol during the hours peo-ple are expected to be at the station, tolook out for their safety.

“We need to be the eyes and the earsfor our neighbours too; not only for theirsafety but for ours too,” he says.

Since invading the city severalyears ago, the species – said to havemade their appearance in KuilsRiver in 2010 – have plagued localhouseholds.Since the launch of the invasive

wasp control (IWC) teams in 2014,the City has removed 8 000 Europe-an paper wasp nests from suburbsacross the Cape including areassuch as Ottery, Plumstead, Con-stantia, Woodstock, Athlone andWetton, says Mayco member forenergy, environmental and spatialplanning, Johan van der Merwe.

Both alien invasive wasp spe-cies, theEuropeanpaperwasp (pol-istes dominula) and the Germanwasp (vespula germanica) are list-ed as a category 1b invasive speciesin the Alien and Invasive Speciesregulations in the National Envi-ronmental Management Biodiver-

sity Act.“This means that scientists have

agreed that thewasps, by law, haveto be removed as they pose a threatto the local ecosystem and severalimportant industries such as de-ciduous fruit, wine and bee keep-ing industries,” says Van der Mer-we.

In some parts of the USA, wherethe same wasps invaded in the1980’s and 90’s, entire colonies ofindigenous species were de-stroyed.

Cape Town residents are advisedto be aware that the sting fromthesewasps is particularlypainful.

“Last season there were manyreports of the German wasp sting-ingworkers harvesting grapes andother fruit. The wasps also presenta hazard to residents who may un-intentionally disturb a colony.”

A second team was introduced,following the hundreds of sight-ings andwasp removal requests byresidents last summer.

“Residents are encouraged to re-port sightings to theCity or contacta reputable pest control company.Property owners are primarily re-sponsible for pest control on their

premises, and the City will assistaccording to available capacity,”he says.

If nests are removed privately,property owners are urged to senda report containing their street ad-dress and the number of nests re-moved to invasive.species@cape-town.gov.za as this helps with theCity’s future planning and re-search.

“The City will make every effortto timeously assist the publicwhere possible, within our availa-ble capacity, to ensure their safetyand peace of mind,” says Van derMerwe. He adds that the IWCteams are neither trained norequipped to deal with bee removal.Should residents require bee re-moval, they should contact a pro-fessional bee keeper. The teamwillalso not exterminate indigenouswasps. Residents who would likeassistance can upload sightings onthe spotter network at www.cape-towninvasives.org.za/edrr/target-list, and thereafter theywill be con-tacted to arrange the removal.

Now these children can watch moviesDESIRÉE RORKE

@dezzierorke

Not all children can take for granted the joyof watching their favourite movie on the bigscreen.

On Thursday morning, some 100 visionimpaired children, many of them sufferingfrom eye abnormalities as a result of FetalAlcohol Syndrome (FAS), were treated toMaya the Bee at Ster-Kinekor Gape Gate,having discovered their newfound vision.

For these little five to seven-year-olds, thiswas their first cinema experience after re-ceiving either spectacles or eye surgery.

“Growth inside the retina is affected byFAS, resulting in these children having se-vere vision impairment. Some of them canbe helped by means of spectacles or in moresevere cases surgery if detected earlyenough,” said FranceNxumalo from theBri-en Haden Vision Institute in Durban.

The institute is currently in the process ofexpanding their work to the Western Capewinelands and has teamed up with localNPO My Little Eye.

“We go to wine farms to screen the chil-dren of the farm workers for vision impair-ment.We thenrefer themto clinics and insti-tutions such as Brien Haden to assist themwith the help they might need,” says Ramo-na Lubbe from My Little Eye.Since 2005, Ster-Kinekor, through their

flagship social investment programme Vi-

sion Mission, has partnered with strategicpartners to help children such as these.“Vision Mission has for the past 10 years

offered eye sight screening and spectacles tochildren from previously disadvantagedbackgrounds across the country. With over281 100 beneficiaries to date, the programmeaims to eradicate preventable blindness in

children,” Ster-Kinekor Social InvestmentManager Geraldine Engelman said.

The day’s activities also marked WorldSight Day and the start of National Eye CareAwareness month.

Engelman says sight is integral to appreci-ating the wonderful world of cinema.

“Research has revealed that blindness

could be avoided in eight out of 10 cases ifproper testing is conducted at an early age.The visual system is fully developed be-tween10and11years,whenaproblemmightbe corrected and vision preserved,” shesays.“Poor eye sight can also not onlymake the

learning experience uncomfortable, but italso hinders progress in the classroom,sporting and extra-mural ability and socialintegration.”Research done at UCT has shown that the

Western Cape’s wine region has one of thehighest reported levels of FAS in the world– levels of up to 300 per 1 000 children are af-flicted in some Boland regions, according toDr Susan Levine, a medical anthropologistwith the University of Cape Town.

Due to the legacy of the age old “dop sys-tem” implemented 300 years ago, but bannedin the 1960s, alcoholism is still widespreadon the wine farms around Paarl and Stellen-bosch.Harry Rosen, CEO of the South African

Optometric Association also attended theevent and said eye sight is often taken forgranted. “Without spectacles none of thesekids would have been able to watch themov-ie today. The sad reality is that hundreds ofthousands South Africans are vision im-paired, but have no access to eye care.”V Follow National Eye Care Awareness month activi­ties via the Ster­Kinekor Theatres page on Facebookand follow Ster­Kinekor on Twitter: @sterkinekor.

Holiday is a dance stepThe Homework Enrichment Life

Skills Programme (Help) premisesin Vrygrond were abuzz with activityand music last week.The non-profit organisation’s pupils

were taught some impressive dancemoves during the school holiday.Katlego Moncho from Sibonelo

Dance Project took the childrenthrough their paces and taught themmultiple dance styles, includingkwaitoand hip-hop.In 2012 Moncho was accepted to the

three-year training programme at Jaz-zart Dance Theatre, where Debbie Birdof the African Dance Theatre offeredher the opportunity to become one of

the group’s dancers.At the beginning of this year she per-

formed in Orpheus in Africa, a Fugardtheatre musical directed by David Kra-mer.Help is a non-profit organisation that

runs daily after-school programmes, anAMV (“ambition, motivation and vi-sion”) club and a holiday club.Moncho says theywould like to instil

an “I can”mentally in the childrenwiththe classes.“It is better to try than to believe you

cannot do it at all,” she says.The goal of the dance classes was to

boost the children’s self-esteem asmany of them come from poor and im-

poverished areas.While also having fun, the classes

taught them the benefit of hard workand that they can achieve anything ifthey put their minds to it.“The lively youngsters were fast to

pick up on the moves and soon wereable to perform a superb and energeticshow,” Moncho says.Jean Mackenzie, co-founder of Help,

says they are very appreciative ofMon-cho and what she achieved with thechildren. “The way she has inspiredthem is out of this world,” she says.For more information on Help visit

Plastic is ‘gold’ for disabledTIYESE JERANJI

Some people might regard a bread tag andthe bread plastic bag as useless, not

knowing it is full of mobility for others.A bread tag and plastic bag, if collected

and recycled, enables people to get wheel-chairs.

A Good Samaritan who has been workingfor the Bread Tag Foundation for the pasteight years knows the potential and has giv-en people in her area another lease on life.

Karen Andriaanse donated three wheel-chairs to residents of Factreton and Ken-sington last week. She says it was as simpleas collecting bread tags andplastic bags. Themoney that’s obtained from recycling thembought wheelchairs.“People take these two (a bread tag and

plastic bag) for granted, not knowing thatsomeone’s life depends on it. By puttingthem together other people are able to liveindependently because they are given theirmobility back when they get a wheelchair.It really makes me happy that I’m able tocontribute positively to the people in mycommunity,” she says.

One recipient, Michael Fisher from Sun-derland Street, was ecstatic that he couldmove around again and be outdoors.

“I was a vendor and a freak accident leftme unable to walk. I’m so happy that withthis wheelchair I got I will be able to movearound and go to the shops on my own. It’snot easy having to rely on other people to dothings for you, but I’m glad this is anotherchance to live life to the fullest,” he says.

“Each tag, as useless as it may seem, isgold to someone who cannot walk. I encour-age members of the community to make adifference and help me to collect bread tagsand bread plastic bags,” says Andriaanse.

Andriaanse did it as part of a Peace Build-ers project. She was amongst 20 people who

graduated from the programme at the endof last month. She says the programme hasopened her eyes.“To deal with things you must first have

inner peace. I want to spread that messageamongst other people in my community.”V Those who want to drop off bread tags and breadplastic bags can call Andriaanse on 084 805 8254.

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, motorists should

visit their nearest vehicle licensing office,or to renew it online visit www.cape-town.gov.za/en/eservices/Pages/de-fault.aspx and follow the steps outlinedthere. Motorists can also call the City ofCape Town’s call centre on 0860 103 089 tofind out the amount owing should they notknow the licence amount due.Ian Neilson, mayoral committee member

Fromthebeginningof thismonth theburialhours at Maitland, Welmoed and Khayelit-sha cemeteries have been extended on Sat-urdays and Sundays.This is being done for a trial period of six

months. The purpose of the extension is toaccommodate more burials over the week-end, to provide a more dignified service inthe busiest cemeteries and to avoid conges-tion between 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 themuchpreferredday for fu-

nerals 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.

“To be part of a 75th anniversary is alwaysspecial, but to be part of a memorial eventfor that period of time is really special.”So says Barrie Jones, treasurer and chor-

ister of the Cape Welsh Choir. The all-malegroup will be presenting a really specialconcert to commemorate the 75th anniver-sary of the Battle of Britain on Wednesday28 October.With the 75th anniversary being “quite a

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

explaining that theywouldnormally sing inthe Welsh male voice choir style.This time round, the Cape Welsh Choir

has put a full production together in thespirit of reflecting the “era and circumstan-ces” around World War II.The concert takes place against the back-

drop of a specially-built set that recreatesa typical bomb shelter in the London under-ground, with the choir dressed in clothestypical of the era.“It sounds dramaticmaybe, but theywere

hard times, so there are no pink shirts. It’sall very staid, working-class stuff.”

They’ll be singing medleys of a selectionof well-known songs from the time.“All of those songswere used to embolden

that spirit of resistance.”Barrie explains that music was used in

World War II to unify Britain. Many of thesongs were popularised by “the force’ssweetheart”, Vera Lynn.South African soloist Yvette Elliott will

be bringing Lynn’s songs to life, completewith period costumes. They’ll be joined bythe Cape Field Artillery Pipes and Drumsand guests from the UK: The RAF Salon Or-chestra big band and the Queen’s ColourSquadron with precision marching.“I think it’s going to be a very special oc-

casion,” Barrie says, adding: “It’s going tobe a once in a lifetime opportunity.”Anyone interested in joining the choir

can contact chairperson Graham Tennisonon 021 696 1716 or 073 463 1028.Twoperformances takeplace at theClare-

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.”

She’s a singer, a writer, an artist, an en-trepreneur and a mother.Retreat’s Lydia Lategan is a woman of

straight from the heart, telling stories thatcover the full spectrumof humanemotions;from lost love to hope and unexpected luck.She is constantly writing, sometimes

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.

I remember how my mother made food– of which there was never secondhelpings – on a primus stove if she andmy dad got some money and other times,which were mostly, my mother cookedfood on an open fire.

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. I thought this was how onewas supposed to live.

At age six I saw some children put ona set of neat clothing they would call aschool uniform and walk for miles to aschool to “get educated”. When I askedmy mother when was I going to beeducated, she would tell me “One daywhen there is money” and when theywould get a cement and brick housefrom the government.

At age seven I was taken by my dad tohelp him skuddle. We walked out of therickety fence surrounding our informalsettlement and I was so proud, so excitedto go with my daddy to work, to skuddleand so contribute to our survival and tocurb the ever-lingering hunger pains.

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.

To me this was like another worldand, with all the lawns and parks andtarred roads, I thought this was heaven.I then saw bins standing on the pave-ments and dad explained to me that “die

ryk mense” (the rich people) place theirgarbage and dirt in these bins. In thesebins were goodies: Items my dad wouldscratch out and place in his trolley.

The bins had all kinds of smells,mostly unpleasant, but this did not determy daddy. This was skuddle.

I will never forget how I innocentlywaved and smiled at the uncle and theaunties behind the fences of thesebeautiful homes. To my shock I wasignored as if I was a pest, a disease.

But a very few greeted my dad andhanded him a few items of clothing andsome bread. My dad and others of ourcommunity had to hurry before thetrucks came to empty the bins.

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. When Isee a piece of newspaper lying around Iadmire the pictures but the words meannothing to me as I cannot read and yet Ilive in a beautiful country with awonderful concept that is the Constitu-tion that states all citizens are equal, sothe people 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 my clothing and live where Ilive.

KEITH BLAKE,Ottery

‘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,

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:
