Writing’s on the cakeTIYESE JERANJI
@jeranji
Graffiti is a worldwide problem andmany who do it go unpunished.
So the community in Observatoryand Salt River is glad that a group of teenag-ers who painted graffiti on a wall last weekwere caught and made to clean up.
A group of boys painted graffiti on wallson their way home after an after-school pro-
gramme. They sprayed graffiti on 14 housesin Observatory and Salt River, as well as atSt Peter’s Square shopping centre. They alsosprayed black paint on a white BMW whichwas parked on the side of the road.
A few painted their nicknames, others theinitials TGOD in big letters on a black wall.
The same group of boys returned to theafter-school the next day to help make cup-cakes for a shelter inWoodstock forMandelaDay. One of the boys wrote TGOD in icing
on the cakes.But at that moment their coordinator, Er-
ic Judd, still knewnothing about the graffiti.As he drove them past their vandalism to
go deliver the cupcakes the boys laughedabout it. Judd did some detective work andfound out that eight of the boys did it orwerepresent when it was done.
“At first they wanted to deny it but whenthey saw that there was no way out and thewriting was on the cake they couldn’t run
away. They all agreed to come clean andpaint over the graffiti after school. They hadto do a lot of work. In some areas they hadto paint a bigger patch to make sure that thecolour matched.
“They should know if they do somethingthere are consequences. It was a good thingthat most of the boys who had actually donethe graffiti tags were the ones who came topaint. Graffiti is a headache – it’s good to setan example,” he says.
Debbie Schäfer, provincial minister ofeducation, has a look over Grade 10pupil Riyaad Jeftha’s (15) shoulderas he surfs the internet in the newcomputer lab at Grassdale HighSchool. The school was one of 10schools to get a computer labsponsored by the MTN SA Foundation. Kusile MthunziHairwadzi,general manager of the Foundationsaid a number of schools in theWestern Cape still have limitedresources and a lack of basicinfrastructure. “We hope to addresssome of these challenges and takelearning to the next level throughthe MTN SA Foundation’s schoolconnectivity programme.”

Tracker gets kidsto school safelyTIYESE JERANJI
@jeranji
To make sure children go to and fromschool in safe transport Child Safe, Dis-
covery Insure and a few other stakeholdershave launched a pilot project to improveschool transport in the province.
The project started with 78 drivers lastyear. They tested their eyes, bought new tyr-es for school buses, fitted safetybelts in somevehicles and even gave them jacks to keepin the cars. Those with eye problems werehelped to get glasses.
A year later, though it’s still a work inprogress, they are happy that they havechanged the way drivers operate.
Discovery Insure used its incentive pro-gramme to encourage the drivers to drivecautiously. The programme uses a trackingdevice to monitor driving behaviour. It pro-vides feedback and enables Discovery to re-ward drivers for improvement.
A study recently found that drivers in theproject improved their driving behavioursignificantly, compared to the general driv-ing population of Cape Town.
The best drivers of the pilot project wererewarded on Thursday last week.
Anton Ossip, Discovery Insure CEO, saysthey are working towards a day where nochild would have to die on the roads.
“We are glad that today we can solve prob-lems through technology and create a nationof great drivers. Things have changed a lotbecause theyknowtheyarebeingmonitoredand if they do well they will get rewardedfor it. We are encouraging responsible driv-ing all the time and I’m glad the results showthat there is improvement,” he says.
Ruth Lewin, head of corporate sustaina-bility at Discovery, says: “With this project,we aim to make South Africa’s roads saferfor children when travelling to school everydayby improvingand increasing road safetyknowledge through driver education, andboth improvement and provision of safetytools and features.”
Sebastian van As, head of the trauma unitat the Red Cross Children’s Hospital, says:“When someone drives with a bottle of wineor eggs on the road they are extra careful –why not take that extra precaution whendriving with kids.”
Discovery Insure and Child Safe recently rewarded Linda Mpani, the best driver in a pilot schooltransport project, for prioritising children's safety when driving them to and from school.

For the past 65 years the SA Guide-dogsAssociation for the Blind has been help-
ing blind people be independent and livenormal lives.
The Association says while it tries hardto improve the lives of many blind peopleit doesn’t come easy. They put in a lot ofmoney to train dogs.
They can’t reach as many people as theywould like because they don’t have enoughmoney to train many dogs.
At the moment there are about 20 peopleon the waiting list to receive guide dogs.Someone can be on the waiting list for
about 18 months before they get a suitableguide dog.
Teagan Schwerin, SA Guide-dogs region-al coordinator, says they want to help a lotof people. To keep afloat and continue tohelp they host functions to raise money.
On World Sight Day on 8 October theywill be hosting a gala dinner to help raisefunds.
“We breed three types of dogs only andit costs more than R8000 to get the dogready. Guide dog owners only pay R5,which is for the contract, and R100 for theboarding fee when they have to be trainedwith their dogs on the routes they will betaking. It is nothing compared to what weput in to have the dog ready.
“We wish to help a lot of people but wecan’t because it’s so expensive. We are in-viting more people to come and support usfor the gala dinner in October so that wecan touch more lives.
Nicky Labuschagne, who is blind, saysshe attributes that she is able to live herlife to the fullest to the help she gets fromher guide dog Becks. She has had Becks forthe past 11 months.
“Life is much easier. Guide dogs are veryhelpful and they make people look at youin a different way. It wasn’t easier with acane because I was limited. People didn’twant to talk to you because they are scaredthey can hurt your feelings.
“It’s so true that the dog is an ice breaker;
people admire the dog and they play withit, then they get to you. By talking they seethat you’re a normal person just like them.
“Having a guide dog has made life mucheasier. I was able to play with my son. Ithrow the ball and the dog picks it up. Hethrows and the dog picks it up, so I nevermissed on my child’s playtime because I’mblind.
“If it wasn’t for SA Guide-dogs, life wouldbe something else. That’s why we are call-ing on more people to help so that they cantouch more lives and change their lives,”she says.V The gala dinner will be held at Kelvin Grove in New-lands. You can book a ticket for R700 by callingSchwerin on 021 674 7395.

Spending five years in prison for fraud wasa turning point for Stanton Hermanus
(37) and he is now determined to change hislife for the better.
He believes theyears he spent in aprison cell taught himabout life – every dayhe appreciates the lit-tle things that life hasto offer.
Hermanus, fromRavensmead, was con-victed without a quali-fication but he studiedwhilst in prison. Now he holds a BSc degreein Computer Science from Unisa, which hepassed cum laude last year.
He received the vice-chancellor’s Senateaward as top performer in the Honours pro-gramme in the Science, Engineering andTechnology faculty.
Out on parole for the past nine months, hesays life is treating him well. He is studying
for his Masters degree in Commerce and In-formation Systems at UCT.
He admits life in prison wasn’t easy buthe is happy about what he could achievewhilst there.
“In prison you’re confronted with a lot ofchallenges. There is gangsterism and it’s
easy to be reluctant, notstudy and follow thecrowd. I’m happy to sayagainst all odds I man-aged to follow my visionand to better myself. Iwas privileged to be in asingle cell; it made me re-flect on a lot of things andI managed to put moretime in studying. I’m
proud of what I have achieved; I don’t regretgoing to prison. Though I managed to pass,it wasn’t so easy as I had to put in a lot ofhard work,” he says.
Hermanus says being behind barschanged his way of thinking.
“Your attitude towards life and towardspeople changes. You tend to value things alot more, appreciate each day and all you do.
I set my mindset to wanting to achieve some-thing and I’m glad that I managed to do that.I feel fortunate that coming from prison I’mworking and improving my life every day. Idon’t regret a thing. Though I lost everythingwhen I went to prison, I’m working towardsgaining it with a positive mindset. I’m sothankful because I feel like I have been givena second chance,” says Hermanus.
This new lease on life has been recognisedby the Rotary Club of Newlands. Hermanusis one of nine students to receive a bursary.
At a recent awards evening to celebrate thestudents’ results, Hermanus said that the dayhe had entered prison, he had committed to“turn his life around”. He believes educationis a tool to change the world.
“I was determined to study because I be-lieve education is a key that can unlock allthe doors. There are a lot of opportunities inprison. You have time to finish your matricor to study further. Some are just lazy to studyand end up joining gangs. Some go in and outof prison because they don’t have qualifica-tions to help them earn a living when they areoutside, so it becomes difficult for them. I’mglad that I’m where I am today and I see life
with a different eye,” he said at the ceremo-ny.
Jenny Ibbotson, chairperson of the inter-national and vocational committee of theRotary Club of Newlands, says Hermanus’slife has changed and as a rolemodel he willinfluence the lives of many other youngpeople.
“I was deeply touched by the proceedingsof the evening. I listened to each student asthey stood up to talk about their experien-ces and how, without the bursary from Ro-tary, they would not have had access to thiseducational opportunity,” she says.
The Department of Health is guided by the principles of Employment Equity.Disabled candidates are encouraged to apply and an indication in this regard
will be appreciated.

Kids get treats tolearn and playTIYESE JERANJI
@jeranji
Children from Kensington and Factretongot to play together and share a meal in
a day prepared for them by a charity.The event at the Kensington civic centre
on Sunday last week entertained more than60 children and included activities likegames and a jumping castle. They were alsoempowered with basic life skills such asroad safety and teamwork, displayed byhundreds of motorcyclists visiting them.
The event was hosted by the Alpha chari-ty foundation with help from sponsors andBiker Charities Western Cape.
The children, aged between 6 and 12years, were treated to sweets, candy floss,cooldrinks, popcorn, Slush Puppies andfruit. They also had a hearty lunch of potjie-kos and rice, followed by pony rides, cook-ies and doughnuts.
One of the organisers, Kevin Alexander,says it’s easy to forget the children. “Pa-rents are so busy with other things and,without noticing, kids are left out. We tryour best to make them feel special. At timesparents just can’t afford some time-out withthe kids due to economic hardships, so wetry and relieve that burden,” he says.
The children’s attention was captured bya mass ride of hundreds of motorbikes trav-elling down 11th Avenue to join them at thecivic centre. They were taught that bikersdon’t tolerate gangsters, drugs or bullies.
“They enjoyed every moment, from themass bike ride to the food and games. Weare glad that we can also take that timewhen they are gathered together to teachthem about road safety, the effects of gang-sterism and to educate them on bullying ina fun way.
“We just try to make it as fun as possible,”says Alexander.
Children from Kensington and Facreton enjoyed a special day organised by a charity.

Political party representatives are target-ing the elderly to join their parties – withthreats.
The office of the regional land claimscommissioner says it has recently receivedcomplaints from prospective claimantsthat political party officials are telling peo-ple that if they join a particular political
party they will get their land claims set-tled.
Making the elderly join political partiesto have their claims settled is said to beprevalent in Nyanga, Langa, Elsiesriver,Khayelitsha, Atlantis and Salt River. Mostof the complaints came to the office inMowbray.
There are also complaints that scam-sters are posing as officials of the commis-sion and charging people R50 to attend a
meeting. It is alleged that these party offi-cials also ask the victims for their docu-mentation, which they promise to take tothe office on behalf of the claimants.
Michael Worsnip, chief director for landrestitution support in the Western Cape,says obviously they do not do this and theclaimants are seriously disadvantaged.
“I want to emphasise that the commis-sion on restitution of land rights is a com-mission of government. It is not answera-
ble to individual political parties. Our mes-sage to all claimants and prospectiveclaimants is that you do not need to belongto any specific political party, and peoplecan lodge a claim even if they do not belongto any political party,” he says.
“The Commission would like to appealto all prospective claimants not to fall vic-tim to these bogus officials, who are mak-ing demands for prospective claimants tojoin political parties,” he says.
No party politics allowed in land claims

Glamour in Obsto help kidsTIYESE JERANJI
@jeranji
Beauty pageant contestants from varioustownships came together to showoff glitz
and glamour to help raise funds for a non-profit organisation which feeds disadvan-taged children.The models, aged between five and 24
years, performed at the Observatory recrea-tion centre last week.Grouped in different age categories they
showed off their talent to raise money forBismillah ta-aam, a feeding scheme for un-derprivileged children in Mitchell’s Plain.Prizes included contracts with Starlightz
Casting Agency and House of Fame Agency,gym vouchers at Zone Fitness, hair andbeauty products, jewellery, restaurantvouchers, stationery and sweets.The annual event, organised by Cebokazi
Ngcakani from Modiforce Pageants, is tohelp the non-profit organisation as well as
to boost the confidence of the participants.Modiforce was started to showcase town-ship talent.“They enjoy doing this so much. The
competition is stiff and they are not easilyrecognised in their townships, sowith suchevents they get a lot of exposure. However,by doing these beauty pageants they arespotted by different agents and they tendto learn a lot as they gain confidence inthemselves. It also helps them grow as theycelebrate the winners of the day,” she says.“It gives them something to keep busy.
Iwas a pageant contestantmyself and I sawit as a good thing to be doing something forthe communities and pay it forward so thatkids do something that they really love.They get excited and nervous all the timebut I’m glad that through it all they learnso much about themselves and the indus-try. It comes as a bonus as well that theyare not on the streets where they can fallprey to all sorts of crime,” she says.
Radiant smiles as the beauty pageant contestants enjoy their day in Observatory last week toraise funds to feed needy children in Mitchell’s Plain.

The sun was out, fun was hadand at the end of the day, agroup of eight men walked
away with a winner’s cheque ofR5000.In what started as an innocent
kick-about between fellow stu-dents on the “dell”, outside theUni-versity of the Western Cape’s(UWC) cafeteria in 2004, it has nowflourished into a much anticipated“kings of UWC” event.The annual event pits students,
alumni and all those associatedwith the university in a 5-a-sidesoccer tournament.The day was not only to share
skills on thepitch, but to also sharestories of years gone by, reinforc-ing the bonds which were firstforged as students.And while there was an element
of fun attached to the event, thecompetition was red hot as 16teams battled it out.In the end, “S squad” rose to the
challenge, beating all comers to thetitle.Chad Hare, captain, could not
hide his elation.“I can’t explain how I feel, we are
just happy that we did this togeth-er.“Wehavebeen friends for as long
aswehave beenhere, for six or sev-en years. We all know each otherthrough soccer, so it’s a brother-
hood. We are a family.”The team’s Fabian “Takka”
Wareley tookhome theLyleArend-se player of the tournament award,named in honour of one of the tour-nament’s founding members.Hilton Stroud, one of the tourna-
ment’s organisers, said he has seenthe event grow from strength tostrength whilst holding onto thespirit which it is synonymous for.“It is also a timewhere guys from
old, who haven’t seen each othersince their timeat campus, came inandmet each other, braaied and so-cialised.“Even though theydidn’twin the
game, they really enjoyed the factthat they had the opportunity tocatch up with each other as theycome fromall around the province.So really it has been a success onboth the soccer side as well as thesocial side.”
Prof Tyrone Pretorius, UWC rec-tor, enjoyed the Sunday spectacle,while also realising the impor-tance the event plays in the life ofthe university.“It’s clearly been a fun day and
the weather played along and fromwhat I can see everyone had fun.Butmore than the fun, it’s student,it’s staff, it’s also our alumni andit’s great to see their passion for theuniversity.
“It’s good for the university. It’sgood for the university’s reputa-tion and it says a lot that peoplewant to be associated with the uni-versity in this way.”Pretorius, without knowing the
specifics of the event’s origins,praised the enterprise shown bythe founders of the tournament,who were chased off the originalfield at the “dell” 11 years ago.“It’s fantastic that what started
out as a student initiative has beenembraced by the älumni and hasbecome a regular feature on thecalendar of UWC.“That’s the kind of graduates
that we want to produce: Gradu-ates that take the initiative, thatare creative and take responsibili-ty for their own development,” heconcluded.Fagan Muller, Santos captain
and one of the founders of the tour-nament, reminisced about the dayswhere students put in their ownshare in the hope of taking homethe spoils for a gatsby and theirdrinkof choice at theBarn, but alsopointed out the role the tourna-ment has played in his own career.“I think that if it wasn’t for this,
then UWC’s soccer team wouldn’tbe so strong. It was playing in this(tournament) that I decided to playfor the UWC soccer team, whichwas prosperous in the end, playingfor the universities national team.“This started it all. In the dell,
where friends get together.”
Soccer unites generations
