TAURIQ HASSEN

METER TAXI drivers in Adder-ley Street have mixed emotionsabout the relocation of the taxirank, planned for later this year.

The City is considering movingthe cabstand to a space between Rie-beeck Street and Hans Strijdom Av-enue to make way for new stops forMyCiTi buses.

Alternative locations for the taxisare on the Heerengracht ServiceRoad, which is the City’s preferredoption.

Another option is Heerengracht,on the northbound kerb-side facingtowards Table Bay and on Old Ma-rine Drive, adjacent to Cape Townstation.

Most of the taxi drivers feel thereis nothing they can do about themove, but will rather “make thebest of it”.

Vincent Murulo has been cartingpassengers around the city streetsfor the past 13 years.

The move down the road is “sad”for Murulo, but he says: “I have gota family to support and I really can-not focus on where I will make mybusiness.”

Other drivers, like Jackson Math-embu, felt the move was “extremelyinconvenient”, not only for taxisdrivers, but for passengers as well.

“This rank has been around for anumber of years. For some of thesedrivers this rank is all they knowbut most of them will not raise anyproblems, because this puts thefood on our tables.”

After 18 years, Edward Phillips,

did not imagine moving to a newrank.

He says that there is a “slight pos-sibility” business could escalatewith the Cape Town Station nearby.

However, he says: “Over theyears, some of these drivers havemet people and passengers at thisthis rank. It will be sad to leave allof this behind.”

Brett Herron, the Mayoral Com-mittee member for Transport,Roads and Stormwater for the Cityof Cape Town, says the move is partof the roll-out of an integrated pub-lic transport network.

He continues that metered taxis“play an important role” in the pub-lic transport sector, providing a“formal on-demand service”.

It is proposed that the MyCiTi busservice will use kerb-side bus stopson the section of Adderley Streetfrom November.

The introduction of the bus stopswill affect 16 demarcated areas formetered taxis which include 13bays facing towards Table Bay andthree bays facing towards TableMountain.

Herron says: “The transport hubwill now include commuter rail,buses, minibus taxis and meteredtaxis, thus giving commuters achoice.”

Some frequent metered taxi pas-sengers were saddened by theplanned relocation.

Bo-Kaap senior Zulpha Abbasregularly used the taxis after shop-ping.

“The taxis will now be out of theway and we would have to walk allthe way to the station to go home.

We might as well walk homenow,” she says.

But Herron says the pro-posed new ranking arrange-ments will offer “significant

benefits”.“This includes a similar catch-

ment area for customers, with hope-fully more users as a result of great-er public transport use, a better en-vironment for pedestrians andpassengers and closer proximity tohotels,” he explains.

In addition to the relocation ofmetered taxis, the City is also call-ing for public comment on proposed

MyCiTi station names.In terms of the naming policy for

the MyCiTi stations, the proposednames of the station is being adver-tised for public comment.

The following names have beenproposed for the additional bus sta-tions that have been or will be con-structed to serve areas of Gardensand surrounds and the central city:

. Adderley, on Adderley Street,

north of Riebeeck Street.. Sea Point, on Beach Road, east

of Queen’s Beach Circle.. Waterfront, on Breakwater

Boulevard, north of Haul Road.Anyone who wishes to comment

must submit their comment on orbefore Thursday 4 October.

Phone (021) 421 0430 for further in-formation or email your commentsto myciti@capetown.gov.za.

Dear reader,

Spring offers a chance fornew beginnings, like a sec-ond New Year – nine monthslater.Along with some welcome

sunshine to complementspring cleaning of house,body and soul, comes a timeto dust away the winter cob-webs, reflect and commitafresh.I beganmy commitment to

a more physically active lifestyle by get-ting up and dancing, albeit a bit stiffly, atthe Lansdowne Sectors 1, 2 and 3 Commu-nity Police Forum’s Spring Ball last Fri-day; following this up with more applied,energeticmoves at a teenage party the nextday.My teenage great niece refused to join

me, a few four-year-olds and several teenyboppers aswemade the circle bigger at thisfamily event.Aside from eye contact with the taller

teens,whosemoves I attempted to copy, no-body seemed to care that an aunt was “inthe house”.What truly impressedme thoughwas the

vigour displayed at the spring ball byMarkKleinschmidt, chairperson of the KenwynSafety and Security and Ratepayers’ andCivic Association. Part of the evening’sproceedings included the handing over ofa sponsored People’s Post bicycle to the as-sociation.I was in awe when Mark hopped on the

new bike, taking it for a spin around thehall.That’s the beauty of living life in the

present.As adults, we’re too preoccupiedwith do-

ing the “right thing”, our imageandothers’perception of us.So much so that we forget to relish the

joyful moments.My insightful weekend culminated with

observing the care and pa-tience my dad shows mymom.This has not wavered in

the two years she has beenliving with cancer. A rela-tionship of this quality is theresult of decades of together-ness, unconditional accept-ance and understanding.This brings me to my re-

solve to enhance my under-standing of among others,different faiths, beginning

with theJewishholidayofRoshHashanah.I acquired some information from the in-

ternet as follows: “A day of judgement andcoronation, the festival of Rosh Hashanahis the anniversary of the creation of AdamandEveand is observed for twodays begin-ning on 1 Tishrei, the first day of the Jew-ish year”.This year, Rosh Hashanah begins the

evening of Sunday 16 September and endsthe evening of Tuesday 18 September.“Rosh Hashanah emphasises the special

relationship between God and humanity.It is also the anniversary of man’s first sinand his repentance thereof, and serves asthe first of the ‘Ten Days of Repentance’which culminates in Yom Kippur, the Dayof Atonement”.Some Rosh Hashanah observances in-

clude eating a piece of apple dipped in hon-ey, to symbolise “our desire for a sweetyear” and blessing one another with thewords “Leshanah tovah tikateiv vetei-chateim (May you be inscribed and sealedfor a good year)”.People’s Postwishes all our Jewish read-

ers and clients a blessed Rosh Hashanah.’Til next time, go well!ConnectED is a weekly column by

People’s Post editor Feroza Miller-Isaacs who can be contacted on fero-za@peoplespost.co.za.People’s Post in online. Visit

RETAIL therapy is supposed to be “shoppingwith the primary purpose of improving thebuyer’s mood or disposition”.Actually it is a psychological disorder

called “oniomania” or “compulsive shop-ping disorder”, according to researchers atMelbourne University in Australia.Some idea of the seriousness of the condi-

tion can be gauged from a 2001study by the European Unionwhich found that 33% of shop-pers have “a high level of ad-diction to rash or unnecessaryconsumption”.Further evidence of the af-

fliction can be seen in the in-creasing incidence of obesity,which also results from “rashor unnecessary consump-tion”.The challenge for the retail

industry is to find ways to in-crease the number of onioma-niacs and to make sure theyare not cured.One third of customersmak-

ing unnecessary purchases certainly helpsthe turnover, but imagine the effect on thebottom line if the percentage of those withcompulsive shopping disorder could bepushed up to, say, 50% or even 60%.To do this the managers of supermarkets

have devised a number of ways to keep shop-pers in the store and exposed to temptationfor as long as possible while promoting thefiction of quick and convenient shopping.The favourite trick is to put the newest,

slowest cashiers on the express tills to frus-trate those healthy customers purchasing 10items or less.The cashiers are taught not to count up to

10 and they are programmed to ring the bellto call the supervisor as often as possible.Shoppers in a hurry have already learned

it is better to join the trolley pushers in thelong queues, because they move fasterthroughmore tills manned bymore efficientstaff.But it is a trap set for those suffering from

compulsive shopping disorder.Store managers know the main impulse

purchases are sweets, chips, soft drinks,chocolates and magazines.They have also noticed smartshoppers, like women withsmall children, know how toavoid the aisles where thesetempting goodies are on dis-play.So, to deal with the onioma-

niacs and take revenge on thesmart shoppers, they have cre-ated, in the name of improvedservice, a new system whichfunnels customers through asingle queue towards a batteryof tills regulated by a ghostvoice which announces “tellernumber 27” – or whatever.The system produces nice

long queues and the stores take advantageby lining the route of these processions withshelves stacked with sweets, cold drinks,chips, chocolates (the imported, high mark-up kinds), nuts and other tempting treatsyou avoided in the store.Pity the young mother trying to drag two

screaming pre-schoolers through this valleyof temptation! In a state of acute embarrass-ment, she really has no option but to bribethe little monsters with sweet things.And so the young are corrupted while the

resolve of those on diets is sabotaged and thehealth of the nation is undermined.

Is it any wonder that the world has anobesity problem? But, hey, the disease isgood for the bottom line and what could bemore important than that?

TAURIQ HASSEN

THE ZONING rights of the Sea PointPromenade were protected when theCity of Cape Town turned down a propos-al to introduce QR codes to the beach-front.

AQR code is a matrix barcode that is easi-ly readable by QR scanners, mobile phonecameras and smartphones. The barcode canencode text, a URL and other data.Ward councillor Beverley Schafer was ex-

cited at the prospect of the initiative, butsays the City needs to guard against thepromenade being commercialised.Residents feared that if the proposal was

approved, it would open the door for othercompanies hoping to do something similar,resulting in the promenade turning into“one big commercial mess”.“I thought it was a fantastic idea, but the

ward forum felt that this was a marketingstrategy. Due to the zoning rights of thepromenade, this project had to be turneddown,” Schafer says.The applicant, Triaction by Triumph,

wished to motivate the community to exer-cise, inform users about prominent land-marks in the area as well as encourage fit-ness andwellness in the build up to summer.Triaction is a sports bra range from Tri-

umph, an international underwear brand.Seven perspex blocks were proposed to be

spaced along the length of the promenade,starting from the Mouille Point Lighthouseto the Sea Point Pavilion swimming pool.When a user has taken a photo of the QR

Code, they would have automatically beendirected to a mobisite that has been specifi-cally designed and set up for this initiative.Once the page has loaded on the cellphone,

the user would be able to view the informa-tional tip and have access to a link on eachpage to the Triaction Facebook page.Here theywouldhavebeenable to commu-

nicate about the QR Code initiative and in-teract with others who engaged it if theychoose.Sea Point Promenade users felt the project

would have been an exciting feature on oneof Cape Town’s most regularly used fitnessroutes.Freddy Jacobs has been involved in four

consecutive Two Oceans Marathons andthought the project would have assistedtourists wanting to knowmore about the ar-ea’s history.“I think it’s a really bright idea and it real-

ly keeps up with the times. But if the Cityfelt this was just another marketing ploy,then I guessSeaPointPromenade’s commer-cial value has to come first,” he says.Shiela Stakklenburg also runs along the

promenade in the evening and would have“loved” to receive fitness tips.However, she understood that the prome-

nade’s commercial value was important.“I think when the City made their deci-

sion, the well-being of the area was taken in-to consideration and we surely don’t wantcompanies’ names and pictures all over theshow.“But certainly, it’s a great idea andmaybe

the City can look into a similar initiative infuture.”The project’s account executive, Robyn

Landsberg, confirms the plan was rejected.“We have withdrawn the proposal after

the projectwas turned downandwehave de-cided to not go forward with it,” she says.

Readers split on vigilantism revivalDON’TDON’T BEBE STUPID:STUPID:Tshepo Leboko sayspeople who take thelaw into their ownhands often find them­selves behind bars,while the suspectedguilty party is free. “Itis never good to get vi­olent, even if you thinkthere is a reason. Peo­ple should let the po­lice do their jobs. Thatis what they get paidfor.”

VIGILANTISM is back on the block,cropping up in communities acrossCapeTown.But should citizens take thelaw into their own hands?People’s Postreaders share their views with Tarren-Lee Habelgaarn and Luzuko Zini.

DIFFICULDIFFICULT:T: Lau­ren Heberdenfeels there is noreason why peo­ple should notbe able to sortout their owndifferences.“For some situ­ations you cantake the law in­to your hands,as long as it isdone without vi­olence.”

ABSENTABSENT AUTHORITIES:AUTHORITIES:Olivia Pougnet says dis­putes should be left tothe authorities to dealwith. However, shesays, the police oftentake too long to re­spond to complaints,forcing the communityto deal with criminals.“Sometimes peopletake the law into theirown hands to get some­thing done.”

WWASTEASTE OFOF TIME:TIME: Ab­dul­Wahaab Kennedythinks the police arethe reason communi­ties take the law intotheir own hands. Hethinks there is nothingwrong with vigilant­ism. “It’s right. Com­munities should takethe law into their ownhands, because thepolice take their owntime to respond.”

ENOUGH:ENOUGH: Melis­sa­Lee Williamshas empathy forcommunities thatsuffer owing tocrime. She sayspeople can’t al­ways depend onpolice to fix thesituation. “Com­munities are tiredof crime and thepolice aren’t do­ing their work.”

LESSONLESSONLEARNT:LEARNT:Andile Nqekezafeels mob jus­tice is the rightway to get peo­ple to listenand curb re­peat offenders.“Criminals al­ways comeback after be­ing arrested, soif they are beat­en they willlearn a lesson.”

JUSTICE:JUSTICE: Cindy Par­sons says whensomeone is caughtin the act, the com­munity needs totake action as thepolice take long torespond. “If thecommunity catchessomeone, a beatingis suitable. Youwork hard for yourstuff; nobody hasthe right to take it.”

AS part of a pilot project, parking mar-shals will be handed cameras in order torecord any unruly behaviour if driversrefuse to pay the tariff.

This comes after a female parking attend-ant was assaulted by a motorist last week.

Zunaid Logday, the owner of Street Park-ing Solution (SPS), says: “These marshals areabused everyday when motorists either driveover their feet, swear or even threaten them.”

He adds that SPS will consider purchasingmore cameras if the pilot project is success-ful.

The SPS parking marshal, employed by theCity as a service provider, was assaulted onThursday.

At approximately 09:20, the information re-ceived from SPS indicated that a motorist ina white BMW parked in Lower Long Streetin a short-stay bay, with a 15 minute maxi-mum, got out of his vehicle and the marshalinformed him of his obligation to pay a R2,50tariff as per the Parking Bylaw.

The motorist refused, saying he was justdropping something off. The marshal ex-plained that the tariff still applied, but he re-fused to pay. He then left the vehicle and wentinside a nearby building.

When he returned, the parking marshalonce again showed him the parking meter re-flecting the amount owing. The motorist thenproceeded to strike out, knocking the metrefrom theparkingmarshal’s handand causingit to fall to the ground. The meter broke andthe LCD screen was damaged.

Themotorist then sworeat themarshal andviolently shoved her, before slapping heracross the face.

Pedestrians and nearby motorists immedi-ately came to her aid and threatened to callthe police.

The motorist then hurriedly got into his ve-

hicle and sped off.Logday is disgusted by the motorist.He confirms that the woman was immedi-

ately taken to a doctor and it was discoveredthat she had some swelling after beingslapped.

Logday says: “You wouldn’t slap a cashierat Woolworths when you are charged extrafor something.”

Brett Herron, the Mayoral Committeemember for Transport, Roads and Stormwa-ter for the City of Cape Town explains thatmanaged on-street parking in high-demandareas such as the city centre is an importantpart of the travel demand management role.

He says: “Studies have shown that driverslooking for parking contribute about 30% totraffic congestion.”

The purpose of charging for on street park-ing is to ensure an appropriate turnover ofparking bays and that there is always about15%vacancyof bays to accommodatedemandand reduce congestion. A constant turnoveris essential to support the retail and commer-cial activity in the area, says Herron.

Furthermore, he found the “cowardly” ac-tions of the driver “appalling”

Herron says: “This sort of behaviour andviolation of this woman’s dignity is unaccept-able and the City will assist her in whateverway it can via SPS.

“Wehavebeen informedbySPS that the carregistration, alongwith eyewitness accounts,has already been used to assist the victim inopening a case against the motorist with thepolice.”

Logday confirms that SPS have alreadyopened a case with police and further actionwill be taken against the driver.

He says: “We have in the past been facedwith similar incidents andhave proceeded bytaking legal action against anybody whoabuses the marshals on the street.”

Worthy projectDISCOVERING your child has gone missingcould be the beginning of a nightmare for anyparent. An initiative between the police andPink Ladies, an organisation established tohelp find lost children, aims to speed up trac-ing missing children.The joint initiative is to fingerprint chil-

dren at schools and in daycare centres.The project has been piloted in the Nyanga

police cluster, which includes the Athlone,Lansdowne, Manenberg, Nyanga, Philippi,Gugulethu and Philippi East policing pre-cincts.The fingerprinting will go a long way to-

ward assisting police and parents of missingchildren to closing cases and returning suchchildren to their homes or places of safety.The reality is that children often stray from

safety – their homes, the daycare centres andduring family outings. First Aid points at hol-iday destinations often become an impromp-tu place of safety for children who had wan-dered from their families.A parent reunited with a child who had

wanderedoff is thehappyendingweallwouldwelcome. The other end of the divide is a veryreal fear.It brings tomind themisery left in thewake

of the Station Strangler, who terrorised theCape Flats between 1986 and 1994. The bodiesof 22 boys were found face down in shallowgraves in the dunes of Mitchell’s Plain. Theirhands were tied behind their backs.Norman Afzal Simons, a teacher, was ar-

rested and found guilty on one count of mur-der. The fingerprinting project will also cap-ture eye colour and allergies, with each childreceiving a certificate which can accommo-date a recent photograph.It bears questioning why such a simple, yet

very necessary project, has taken so long toget off the ground. There is merit to the annu-al school photographs which stand in familylounges. These photoswill be a vital accompa-niment to the fingerprint certificates.Each child in South Africa should have

such a certificate.

WITH reference to the article about the mosqueobjecting to a licenced restaurant opening nextto it (“Battle heads to court”,People’sPost, 4 Sep-tember), the last time I looked this was still afree country.Nobody is forcing the mosque members to go

have a drink.

The statement that had the restaurant openednext to a church, it would have been closeddown the next day is ludicrous.Had the restaurant opened next to a church,

Christianswould have seen it as an opportunityto go tell the patrons about the love of God.J AIMES-MALLOY

Is tIs this not sthis not still a free countrill a free country?y?

LETme start off by stating that the MyCiTi buslinking Salt River and Woodstock to the city isa great plan, and there are more things that canbe said for it than against it.The residents in these areas are welcoming

this initiative with open arms and cannot waitfor the first bus to start operating.People like Mo Joolay and Moosa Sydow who

have made comments against it are completelyout of touch with reality.They have never had an original idea or initi-

ative to support the Woodstock community andare now professional moaners who will try andshoot down anything that did not spring fromtheir minds.Mo Joolay was going on about the minibus

taxis at the MyCiTi information session.Instead of a proper and running public trans-

port system, hewould ratherwant a failingmin-ibus taxi service, which will put all our lives atgreat risk and make our area a living hell.They are the cause of all of our traffic prob-

lems as it is.These guys are not speaking on behalf of any

community.If they would take their supposed mandates

seriously theywould be singing a very differenttune.Please let them take aminibus taxi and disap-

pear into the sunset.TEUN BAARTMANWoodstock

SECURITY at the New Somerset Hospitalin Green Point has been beefed up aftera recent incident of copper theft crippledoperations.

Four of the hospital’s main lifts and base-ment were flooded after copper pipes werestolen from the water reservoir above theseventh floor about two weeks ago.Ethne Julius, a spokesperson for the pro-

vincial health department, says the hospi-tal’s “emergency action plan” was requiredto manage the patient load.She says: “Copper pipe theft occurs every-

where but it is mostly experienced at facili-ties and parts of facilities that are closed af-ter hours and over the weekend.”Hospital services are currently running as

normal, except that all elective surgerieshave been postponed until further notice.Patients were relocated to unaffected

blocks. Visitors, staff and walking patientsare required to use the staircase.Children andwheelchair users are exclud-

ed.Julius confirms that the hospital’s thea-

tres, X-ray department and maternity wardhave not been affected by the flooding.The hospital has since introduced a dedi-

cated security officer at themain lifts to con-trol patient and visitor flow.Julius says: “Wherever these copper pipes

are stolen, they are immediately replaced.However, it is not only the pipes that are be-ing stolen.”Brass fittings on the pipes are also target-

ed.The stolen copper pipes will now be re-

placed with non-metallic piping, but the de-partment fears that the brass fittings –

which canbe resold for next to nothing –willbe eyed by thieves.Theuns Botha, the provincial health min-

ister, says security at healthcare facilities is“not an easy task” owing to the number ofpeople entering and the leaving the premis-es each day.“The department has almost 30 000 em-

ployees, almost all of which work in health-care facilities. The total annual headcountat primary healthcare facilities exceeds 16million. The total of persons visiting the cas-ualty units exceeds 624 560.”Botha explains that the department

spends over R90million per year on securityservices and equipment, but believes themillions could rather have been spent onhealthcare delivery. “The future plan is toinvestigate the option that all security willbe sourced and provided by the Departmentof Community Safety to the individual de-partments,” he adds.The theft incident is under investigation.Neil Arendse, the spokesperson for Spe-

cialised Law Enforcement Services, ex-plains that the usage of different materials“would not deter thieves from stealing”.He explains that recently the City decided

to replace the metal drain covers with plas-tic, but even these are being stolen.Arendse says: “There is amarket for these

items out there and the unit is trying tocrack down on these in order to stop theitems from being stolen.”With regard to the hospital’s plan to use

non-metallic piping,Arendse believes the at-tempt would fail if a thief wished to “makea quick buck”.Over 60% of the unit’s success came

through community participation andArendse is once again calling for assistance.To report copper theft call 0800 222 771.

THESouthAfricanDepression andAnxi-ety Group is a lifeline for countless peo-ple.There are nearly 200 support groups

around the country for varied mentalhealth problems.However, they report they are severely

limited as there are no support groups fordepression or panic disorder in the CityBowl, Sea Point, Bantry Bay, Camps Bay,Gardens, Rondebosch or Claremont.Research shows that support groups ef-

fectively help people cope with, and re-cover from, a wide variety of problems.Support groups help people deal with amental illness diagnosis in a well-adjust-ed, healthy way.They provide information on the ill-

ness andways to treat andmanage it, andthey help give patients and loved onestime to adjust.They are also a way of ensuring that

everyone, regardless of howmuchmoneythey have, what medical aid they’re on orwhere they live, can receive support andcare.They aren’t just for patients either.

They provide support and care for lovedoneswho are dealingwith their own fearsand anxieties.The group is currently looking for a re-

covered patient, psychologist, socialworker, nurse or family member whowould like to support them in getting new

groups running in some of these areas.The responsibility is limited, particular-ly as all the counselling calls are referredthrough to the call centre in Johannes-burg which has lines open seven days aweek from 08:00 to 20:00.Running a group usually means hold-

ing a meeting once or twice a month dur-ing the evening or on a Saturday after-noon.Each meeting lasts around one-and-

half hours and they can assist you in find-ing a venue for your group.

For the first two or three meetings,speakers can be arranged who can an-swer the members’ questions.

Training is also provided to the groupleaders.Trainers will be in Cape Town during

the week of Monday 17 September.A simple document will be sent out to

thosewho are interested. One of themainprerequisites of the leader and the mem-bers is complete confidentiality.The group can also introduce you to

leaders in Cape Town, who have beenrunning groups for over 10 years.Brochures, new manuals as well as ex-

perts are available to guide you throughthe process.If you have an interest in helping peo-

ple with mental health queries or prob-lems, contact Khethi or Dessy on 0800 212223 or 0800 708 090.

THERE really is no time likethe present to draft yourwill.

During National WillsWeek – from Monday 17 toFriday 21 September – attor-neys will draft wills for free.

Attorneys participating inthe National Wills Week ini-tiative will draft only new,basic wills for the public andwill not amend or redraft ex-isting wills.

According to a joint statement from theLaw Society of South Africa (LSSA) co-chair-persons Jan Stemmett and Krish Govender,a valid will allows you, as the testator to de-cidewhoshould inherit yourassets andprop-erty in the event of your death.

“It allows you to appoint an executor ofyour choice for your estate and also a guardi-an for your minor children,” it reads.

They add: “Having a will protects yourloved ones and ensures that there is no delay

in settling your estate. It alsoensures that your executorwill act according to yourwishes as set out in yourwill.”

An attorney has the neces-sary knowledge and expertiseto ensure your will is valid bycomplying with all the legalrequirements in theWills Actand also that it complies withyour wishes.

An attorney can also advise you on anyproblem which may arise with your will andassist your executor.

If you diewithout leaving a validwill, yourassets will be distributed according to theprovisions of the Intestate Succession Act.

These provisions are generally fair and en-sure that your possessions are transferred toyour spouseandchildren, andwhereapplica-ble, to siblings, parents, and if required, thento the extended family in terms of degrees ofrelationships.

However, this could also mean your assetsmay not be left to the person of your choice;it can take a longer time to have an executorappointed, and the executorwho is appointedmay be somebody you may not have chosenyourself; there could be extra and unneces-sary costs; and there could be unhappinessand conflict in your family because there areno clear instructions on how to distributeyour assets.

Participating attorneys will display post-ers with their contact details for the publicto make appointments.

Visit the LSSA website at www.LS-SA.org.za or call (021) 443 6700 for a list of par-ticipating attorneys.

CARBON footprints, clean air andenvironmental awareness has tak-en “green” issues into the globalrealm.

To this end, People’s Post wel-comes Glenn Ashton to its ranks ofwriters.

His column – called Earth Pulse– will cover environmental issuesin a relevant and broadly accessiblemanner.

Ashton says: “I will write abouthow the natural, built and social en-vironments each relate to the otherand how one cannot be isolatedfrom the other. The environment isnot only about living things, it isjust as much about the inanimatewhich shapes the environment. Theearth, mountains, sky and seaframe our lives and provide all liv-ing things, including us, with allthat we need.”

Our lives are “captive within anendless cycle”. “It is both too slowfor us to notice and too fast for usto realisewhat is happening. Aswa-ter evaporates from the sea and fallsas rain, it gradually erodes themountains, fills our dams, grindsthe rock into soil and feeds the end-less cycles of life.”

And while we humans think weare so important, says Ashton, “thereality is that we have been here forjust the blink of an eye in the great-er narrative of our planet”.Earth Pulse, says Ashton, will

capture the “huge influence the bil-lions and billions of people have onthe earth”, as well as be about how“we can each manage to live a lifeof meaning”. “This is what the en-vironment is about: if we do not livein balance with our environment,we cannot live in balance with soci-ety or ourselves.”

He hopes his column will help ce-ment our social and environmentallives into something that makessense, that gives cohesion andmeaning to our lives. “We live inone of the world’s youngest democ-racies. We have obligations to our-selves, our communities, our na-tion and perhapsmost importantly,to the legacy we leave for futuregenerations.”

TAURIQ HASSEN

THE second armed robbery in the space ofaweekhas business owners inWoodstockconcerned.

On Friday, Victoria Road was brought toa halt when a shoot-out between police andsuspects at the Deli Pie Shop reached boilingpoint.Shop owners looked on with concern, won-

dering if their businesses would be next onthe hit list, but were keen to continue busi-ness as usual.On Sunday 2 September, the well-known

store, Balmoral, was robbed when four sus-pects entered the shop minutes before open-ing time.The suspects escaped with an undisclosed

amount of money and cigarettes.Iqbal Gasant, who declined to name his

business, witnessed both armed robbery inci-dents and has already implemented extra se-curity measures.“It really is a scary thought, not knowing

if you are maybe next to be hit. People mightjust walk into your store and start shootingup the place,” he says.Gasant has been running a business in Vic-

toria Road for the past 13 years, also havinghis fair share of robberies in the past.“I know how those people must feel, espe-

cially when you have a gun pointed in yourface and not knowing if that is the last thingyou will see,” he adds.Another business owner, who asks to re-

main unnamed, found the armed robberies tobe mere “opportunistic crimes”.He explains that the two robberies this

week happened before the store was evenproperly opened to the public.

“They cannot be planning these robberies.If you look at the times, they strike whenthere is hardly any money in the cash regis-ter,” he says.“This proves one thing: they are taking

chances.”On Friday at about 07:30, four armed men

entered the pie shop and held up the ownerwith his wife.Sergeant Hilton Malila, the spokesperson

forWoodstock police, explains that a custom-er came running out of the store as a patrolvehicle stopped outside the pie shop.When the suspects spotted the police, a

blazing gunfight ensued.“The officers injured one of the suspects

who attempted to escape but was later arrest-ed. The injurieswerenot so bad,” saysMalila.People’s Post was at the scene of the crime,

where a large section of Victoria Road wasblocked off, with onlookers keen to find outwhat the fuss was all about.Police managed to arrest all four suspects

at the scene and are nowplanning an identifi-cation parade in order to link the incident tothe previous armed robbery case.Malila says: “The matter is under investi-

gation and we have yet to determine whetherthis case is linked to the incident that unfold-ed last Sunday.”

Robbers are bang on the money

ADVERTORIAL:ADVERTORIAL: It has been almost 30years since the cult classicBack to theFu-ture was released in cinemas.

On Wednesday at the Hope Street Hall inCape Town, Turner Classic Movies (TCM),the DStv channel dedicated to cult films, willhost Pop Up Cinema – an event dedicated tobringing together great films and the peoplewho love them.Oneof thedelightful aspects of time-travel-

ling films is their ability to give a retrospec-tive of times past – and predictions for thefuture.This is part of the reason this film has re-

mained so popular over the years.It managed to tap into the spirit of 1985, to

the extent that it was the most successfulfilm of the year.Itwas evenquoted inRonaldReagan’s 1986

State of the Union Address. It continues tobe popular since some concerns are timeless

– teenagers will never understand their par-ents, we should always stand up to bulliesand a fast car will always be fun to drive.Guests attending Pop Up Cinema’s screen-

ing of Back to the Future are encouraged toembrace the look and feel of the film bybringing their friends, dressing up in appro-priate costume and embarking on a wildride.Pinballmachines and ahost of other activ-

ities will be on offer.Tickets are limited, so guests should book

by visiting www.tcmafrica.com/popupcine-ma.For those who are unable to attend the

event, Back to the Future is also part of TCMSelect, the destination for film lovers of allages, which is on air on the channel everySunday at 21:00. Back to the Future will beshown on Sunday 23 September on DStvchannel 109, soon to be channel 137 fromMonday 1 October.

CHRIS DU PONT was crowned CapeFight League light heavyweight cham-pion after beating Craig Fourie at theWynberg Military base on Saturday.

Du Pont, who trains at Observatorygym Phoenix Muay Thai and MMA, beathis Durban-based opponent by technicalknockout just minutes into the firstround.

Both fighters came out of their cornersswinging, but Du Pont soon fell back onto his wrestling skills, searching for anopportunity to take the contest to theground.

After initially spending some timewithhis back to the ground, Du Pont wrestledhis way into a full mount and let loose aflurry of punches.

After the fight Du Pont said out-grap-pling his larger opponent was always histactic. “I’m feeling good; I’m feeling fit. Icould have gone on. I stuck to the gameplan and everything went well,” said DuPont.

“The game plan was to stick and move,out-wrestle him, get him to the groundandusemydominantwrestling towin thefight.”

The victory was only Du Pont’s secondin a professional fight, having won hisfirst at the inaugural Cape Fight Leagueevent in February.

He expected Fourie, a more experi-enced fighterwith a reputation as aheavy

hitter, to pack more a punch. “I thoughthe was going to hit a lot hard because ofhis stature. He hit quite hard, but I wasable to wear it,” commented Du Pont.

“I took two big knees and I was able towear those too. I just kept looking for thetake-down. I pursued it and I got it.”

Thenewly crownedkingof the cage laiddown a challenge to all MMA fighters totry to take his title.

The 13-contest fight card produced sev-eral othermoments of action, as amateursand professionals from around the coun-try battled it out.

It startedwith a professional K1 contestbetween Thaiholics fighter Wade Ham-mond and Panther MMA’s Mbouyi Ade-ba.

The fight went the full distance and atie-breaker roundwasneeded to establisha winner after the third round, with thefighters dead-locked on the same amountof points. Adeba was eventually crownedas thewinner after knocking downhis op-ponent twice in the fourth round.

In the evening’s other professional K1fights, Takedown MMA’s Lucky Mokateand Ncedo Gomba of Phoenix fought outa draw, while Cristiano Ndombasseyknocked out Phoenix fighterKevinPhekoin a gruelling contest.

The fight pittedPheko’s orthodoxMuayThai style against Ndombassey’s power-ful punches. Pheko dominated the contestwith his stinging low kicks, but eventual-ly succumbed to a powerful left fromNdombassey.

SK WALMERS shook off two months’ring-rust when they annihilated Villagerin a high scoring encounter at Brooksideon Saturday.

Kloof had not played since mid July – duea Ramadan enforced break – but the lack ofmatch practice and training seemed to havelittle effect on their attack, as they outscoredtheir opponents by eight tries four.The home side opened the scoring with a

penalty from flyhalf Shane Vallender andagain added to their tally when Vallenderslotted a drop goal in the 25th minute. SKWrepliedwitha try fromZahierRylandand twopenalties from Adnaan Osman to lead 11-6 athalf-time.Villager was again the first team to score

in the second half, when they drove the ballover the tryline after a line-out in SKW 22.But the floodgates opened just three min-

utes later, as SKW ran in the first of their sev-en second half tries – five of which were con-verted.Although the match was already out of

their reach, Villager launched an impressivefight back in the last tenminutes and crossedthe tryline three times, to add a touch of re-spectability to the final score. Thematch end-ed with the scoreline reading 56-30.

Labeeb Levy, Kloof’s director of coaching,says his team struggled to find form becauseof their long lay-off.“I must admit that wewere nervous initial-

ly. It showed in that the score before half-timewas quite tight,” says Levy.“We always knew it was going to be tough

because of the fast, the lack of preparationand match practice. But I am very proud ofthe boys. They showed they still have some-thing, but we are obviously not as condi-tioned and fit. We didn’t play at the level wewant to play.”Levy adds the lack of conditioningwas also

to blame for Villagers’ late comeback in thelast ten minutes.“I think our defence was solid, but the lack

of fitness hurt us. We let in three tries in thelast fifteen minutes.”The result sees SKW in fifth place on the

log, ahead of UCT and behind Victorians –two teams they will face in their final fourmatches.They will face stragglers Belhar, UCT side

and Maties in seven days between Saturday15 and Saturday 22 September, before playingVictorians in their final game on Friday 28September.Although the team can’t win the league or

be relegated, they are hoping to finish highon the table.However, they will have to accomplish this

without the services of several first teamplayerswhohave steppedup to theprovincialranks.Hooker Madoda Yako, wings Ederies

Arendse and Ghafoor Luckan and flyhalf Ad-naan Osman will be unavailable in the final

four gamesTheir neighbours Hamiltons also recorded

an impressive victory against one of the rele-gation-threatened sides on Saturday, beatingTygerberg 64-14. While log-leaders Durban-ville-Bellville beat Belhar 38-17.
