A project to tackle dumping in theCBD has resulted in a “massivedecrease” in illegal activity.

The Cape Town Central City Im-provementDistrict (CCID) andCity ofCape Town have been working inpartnership to identify the perpetra-tors of illegal dumping.

When new premises are opened, itis the onus of the property owner toensure it adheres to the City’s guide-lines for solid waste management,which also outline the fines that couldbe brought into effect should illegaldumping occur, says CCID UrbanManagement department managerRichard Beesley.

“The CCID’s role in this is to identi-fy where the dumping is coming fromonce it is discovered, and this is usu-ally from premises in close proximityto where the waste is found. The Citywill then step in to contact the proper-ty owners who own the premises inwhich thedefaulting retailer is situat-ed,” he explains.

“The property owner will be issuedwith a warning and, if the tenant con-tinues to dump illegally, the property

owner will be fined. This is a new ap-proach as in the past the offendersthemselves were contacted. Now theCity is putting the onus on the proper-ty owner to bring his tenant intoline.”

Tasso Evangelinos, chief operatingofficer of the CCID, says prior to thenew policy, around 35% of waste col-lected a month was illegal dumping.

“Nowadays it’s down to about 10%of waste collected – a massive differ-ence,” he says.

“The City of Cape Town’s Law En-forcement department will issue thefines – some of them quite substantial– and, together with the City, we havebeen determined to track down illegaldumpers and we have been successfulin identifying them and seeing thatthey are fined.”

Long Street business owner Ran-dolf Jorberg says the cleanliness inthe CBD has a major impact on busi-nesses, with customers wanting tovisit cleaner parts of the city.

“It’s incredibly important to haveclean streets.

“We fortunately have services andthe bins are regularly cleared,” hesays.

The City’s Solid Waste Manage-

ment department had not commentedat the time of going to print.

Ward councillor Dave Bryant saysthe City does not have the capacity tomonitor every street for issues suchas illegal dumping.

“We rely heavily on complaintsfrom the public to help us. The CCID’sinvolvement makes sure the City re-ceives these reports,” he says.

A procedural document has alsobeen prepared by the City outliningthe exact guidelines to be followed byall retailers in terms of obtainingwaste bins and entering into a clean-ing contract with the City as well aswhat the fines are for non-compli-ance, Evangelinos says.

“The CCID will also assist the Cityin bringing these procedures to the at-tention of those who need to know,such as property owners.”

Bryant believes the partnershipwill ensure the city remains a favour-ite international destination.

“The city has very high levels ofcleanlinesswith tourists fromaroundthe world commenting on how cleanour city is.

“Butwe canalways domore and thecleaner the CBD is, the better for visi-tors and residents,” he says.

Job scamA new job scam has emerged in the past fewweeks, which is affecting some hospitalsaround the province.

Provincial health minister Theuns Bothawarns residents that random SMS messageshave been sent to citizenswhich require themto deposit an amount of money into an ac-count for them to secure jobs – and to thenpresent it at a hospital. He says adverts havealso been placed in local newspapers.

Helderberg, Valkenberg, Groote Schuurand Lentegeur hospitals have been targetedin the scam. “People have been caught una-ware and when they present it to one of thehospitals, they realise it was a scam and theyhave lost the money they deposited,” Bothawarns. “This has been reported to the policefor investigation. This is a very cruel of-fence;– to falsely excite job seekers and to robthem of their money on top of it – taking ad-vantage of those who are desperately seekingjob opportunity.”

All departmental recruitment is done viacommunity newspapers and the departmentwebsite (www.westerncape.gov.za) for de-partmental vacancies.

Walk Away: you can be a heroMost children think of their school shoes astheultimate burden that completes a drearyuniform.

It represents 12 years of slog and formanythe first sign of freedom fromwearing thoseshoes is to relegate them to a pile of discard-ed clothes immediately after writing thatlast matric exam. Some may even think ofburning those shoes on a very high fire.

But imagine the alternative if you didn’thave those same school shoes to carry youthrough all the seasons – especially during

our coldwinterswhenyouhave tonegotiatepuddles of rain?

In some families children have to sharethe same pair of shoes, with siblings takingturns to wear them.

Hard to imagine, right? Not quite. This isthe reality for many children from less for-tunate backgrounds. Their parents simplydon’t have the means to scrape togetherenough money for school shoes. So many ofthem go to school barefoot.

You can be a hero. Simply leave your

school shoes at your desk after you havewritten your last exam for the year. Pleaseensure you ask your parents’ permission todo so. The shoes need to be in usable condi-tion – nobody should wear broken shoes toschool. Tie the shoes together so the pairsarenot lostwhen theyare boxedup.People’sPost requests that the shoes are boxed andready for collection in the new year.V Participating schools donating shoes can contactPeople’s Post at [email protected] with thewords “Walk Away” in the subject field.

BO-KAAP

Upgrade a boonNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

AnR85 000 upgrade to the sports fieldsin Tanabarus Street will see chil-dren given a safe space to play.

Ward allocation funding has beenmadeavailable to fence the park and carry outmaintenance, ward councillor Dave Bry-ant says.

The funding was originally earmarkedfor upgrades to Molteno Park, whichwould have included a jogging track.

“A large ward allocation project wasimplemented a year-and-a-half ago tofence off the lower reservoir and this hasled to a significant reduction in crime inthat area, although many of the homeless[people] who previously lived at the lowerreservoir have now moved to the openspace above,” he explains.

“After consulting with the parks de-

partment itwas suggested that amore sig-nificant project for the open space abovethe lower reservoir be planned and thatthis jogging track be put on hold until alarger plan is in place.”

This opened up funding for the Bo-Kaapupgrade, Bryant says.

“I visited the City-owned site earlier inthe year and found it in a serious state ofdisrepair. The old cricket pitch wasripped up andunusable, there is sheer un-protected cliff on the one side and the fieldhas been used for illegal dumping andparking.

“There is a primary school next doorand the children are desperate to have asafe place to play and do sport,” he says.

The field, next to Schotschekloof Prima-ry, has been a problem spot for years withdumping and anti-social activity, commu-nity members say.

Principal Faadil Kamish says the staff

has been dutifully cleaning the site foryears and have warned children to stayaway from debris such as broken glass(“Pitch perfect idea”, People’s Post, 1May).

The upgrade will see a gate installed atthe entrance of the park to prevent vehi-cles from parking and dumping illegally,to erect a fence along the cliff to protectthe children and prevent balls from goingover the side, to remove the redundantcricket pitch and repair the field as bestpossible.

Bo-Kaap Civic Association chairpersonOsman Shaboodien says the biggest chal-lenge in upgrading the site is to repairdamage to the field’s surface.

“We’d like to upgrade to also focus onlighting as the field is very dark at night.A gate or boom will have to be installedto prevent cars from using the area asparking and damaging the field,” he says.

NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCHES

Extra eyes to pan outNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Following a successful Licence Plate Rec-ognition (LPR) camera system, the Dev-il’s Peak and Vredehoek Neighbour-

hoodWatch (DPV) is looking to expand theirsecurity network.But the new cameras won’t focus on vehi-

cles, as the organisation attempts to policemountain pathways used by criminals as ac-cess routes.“Some of the crime experienced in the ar-

ea results from criminals that access the ar-ea on foot via the mountain access routes or

use the mountain to hide,” explains DPVWatch chairperson Hugh Hacking.“The thought is to monitor the foot traffic

primarily at night to be able to preventcrime as well as potentially assist in the ap-prehension of suspects.”Cape Town Central police spokesperson

Captain Ezra October says all proactive se-curity initiatives by residents are welcome.“We’ve recently had a few incidents in

that area and we know there are some streetpeople living in that vicinity. The stationsupports this kind of earlywarning system,”he says.The cameras will allow police to identify

suspects and access routes, October says.“Wewould just need to finalise whowould

monitor the cameras and report suspiciousactivity as well as what quality the footagewill be,” he says.Currently in the early phases of planning,

the organisation is investigating installingmotion-triggered cameraswith infrared sen-sors, Hacking says.This would price each standalone unit at

under R5 000, Hacking believes.“One of the difficulties with installing

cameras in the access areas is the securityof the cameras themselves and the infra-structure required to support them. In all

probability they will be installed on privateproperty but we will also work with SAN-Parks to determine whether there are othersuitable locations,” he says.SANParks had not commented at the time

of going to print.Hacking hopes the initiative will be run-

ning by early next year, with a pilot projectof one camera. “It is difficult to say what im-pact these cameraswill have as there are notmany other case studies to draw on. If we goahead, we will approach the project on a pi-lot basis and start with one camera to seewhat results it delivers. If it is successful wewill look to raise funding later in the year.”

GIVING BACK: In order to help raise awareness for World Prematurity Day, Huggies on Monday 17 November donated 10 starter-kit hampers for moms who recently gave birth to premature babiesat the Groote Schuur Hospital’s Neonatal ICU ward. To further show their support for this cause, Huggies staff also took part in the annual Wear Purple for Preemie Day campaign hosted bythe Newborns Groote Schuur Trust by wearing purple and by buying stickers to help fund the upgrading of the Groote Schuur neonatal facilities.

HEALTH

Need for moreorgan donorsNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Over 4 000 South Africans are urgentlyawaiting an organ transplant.

However, only 566 organ trans-plants were carried out last year.

This as the country faces an organ dona-tion transplant crisis with less than 0,2% ofthe population registered as organ donors.

Each donor is able to donate a heart, liverand pancreas, kidneys and lungs, whichcould save seven lives.

In addition, cornea donations can restorea patient’s sight.

Children are especially hard hit by a lackof donors.

According to Dr Peter Nourse, a paediat-ric nephrology specialist at the Red CrossChildren’s Hospital, only three kidneytransplants took place at the hospital thisyear.

This a decrease of five from last year, anda significant drop from the average of 10 ayear historically performed at the facility.

Nourse believes this drop is due to a lackof donors.

Eight years ago, 12-year-old Robbie Laub-scher received a liver transplant.

He was born with biliary atresia - a con-genital liver disease in which the commonbile duct between the liver and the small in-testine is blocked or absent and which canlead to liver failure – and received a livertransplant at four, mother Milena Laub-scher explains.

“We thought we were prepared for thatcall saying he would receive a transplant,but we weren’t. It was absolutely terrifyingbecause so many things can go wrong,” shesays.

Robbie has since competed in the SouthAfrican and World Transplant Games, re-ceiving a number of medals for swimmingand cycling.

However, there are still hundreds of chil-dren who are still waiting for a transplant.

One of them is 14-year-old Agcobile Kosa-na, waiting for a heart transplant.

“She is no longer able to go to school orplay with other children, which is veryfrustrating for her,” says aunt LungiswaNdingi.

The family is on constant alert, Ndingisays, fearing the worst may happen at anymoment.

“We’re scared. Her heart could stop atany time. We always have to check on herbreathing and it’s very difficult for the fam-ily,” she says.

Ndingi is urging donors to come forward,either personally or on behalf of their fami-lies.

“Instead of someone just dying with alltheir organs, they can save so many lives.Even parents should donate their chil-dren’s organs – you will see what you havedone is a big thing,” she says.

Laubscher agrees, saying it costs nothingto save lives.

“We were given a second chance and wewere so grateful,” Laubscher says.

“But at the same timewewere aware thatanother family was grieving. It’s a verybrave thing to do.”

Registering has never been easier, as anew Facebook App allows donors to regis-ter and spread to word to family andfriends.

This app has been launched under the#Save7 campaign, a partnership betweenthe Organ Donor Foundation and the SpurFoundation.

“This campaign intends to spread thewordandget people to takeup the challengeto register as organ donors,” explains Spurexecutive chairman Allen Ambor.

Registering as an organ donor is free andtakes onlyminutes, and a donor can changetheir mind at anytime.

Any person who is in good health andclear of chronic diseases will qualify as anorgan donor.

Organ donations are given as a gift anddonors or their families will receive nocompensation, but the utmost respect anddignity is given to the donor at all timesduring the procedures.

Call to change Quintile SystemAs the academic year draws to an end, pro-vincial education minister Debbie Schäferhas again called on the national educationminister to amend its Quintile System.This after the provincial education de-

partment’s records showed that it will payout more than R44m to fee-paying schoolsin the province for school fee exemptionsgranted last year.The Quintile System determines how

much funding a school will receive fromgovernment.It divides schools into five different quin-

tiles,which is determinedby the geographi-cal location of the school. Schools in afflu-ent areas are usually placed in Quintile 5,while a school in a rural area or townshipis usually placed in Quintile 1.This means a school which is located in

an affluent area, no matter the area wherethe pupils live, will determine the ultimatefunding of a school.Schools in Quintile 1 are no-fee schools,

which means the school is run solely ongovernment funding.In a statement, Schäfer says: “While I am

pleased that we have been able to assist ourschools in providing fee compensation forfee exemption for some of our poorer [pu-pils], the reality is that there are a growingnumber of parents who simply cannot af-ford to pay school fees. This is an unfortu-nate consequence of our ailing economy.“ As a consequence, more has to be done

to assist the poor and our schools servingpoor communities.”If the school fees are more than 10% of

parents’ combined annual salary, theyqualify for fee exemption.They can also apply for partial exemption

if the fees are between 2% and 10% of theirannual salary, depending on the number of

children they have at a fee-paying, publicschool. “A successful application for fee ex-emption ultimately means that the parentis exempted from paying school fees.“ Therefore, that school will not receive

that specific pupil’s school fees, which plac-es strain on the schools finances,” Schäferexplains.“While we recognise the important role

which fee exemptions play in granting ac-cess to the poor and relief in tough econom-ic times, we are also cognisant that manyof our schools are struggling financiallyand are dependent on the collection ofschool fees to sustain various projects, re-sources or governing body staff establish-ments.”Since provincial government’s decision

to financially supportno-fee schools in 2011,it has paid out over 100% more than fouryears ago. “I, therefore, again appeal to [na-tional education] minister Angie Motshek-ga to amend the Quintile System. In theWestern Cape we have tried to alleviate theeffects of the system by allowing someschools in Quintile 4 to apply to be no-feeschools,” Schäfer says.“However, as a result of ourown financial

constraints, we cannot expand this furtherthis year. Fee compensation has providedsome assistance, but we ultimately need tochange the current Quintile System forschools that genuinely serve poor [pupils]to receive the requisite support from na-tional government.”She adds the suggestion will not erase all

fee exemptions in the province, “but itwould certainly help many parents whocannot afford to pay school fees, as well asschools in Quintile 4 and 5 which are strug-gling financially because of non-payment offees”.

Maintenancefor formerschoolNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Keeping the former Tafelberg School inMain Road from going to ruin will costas much as R300 000.

The provincial public works departmenthas committed to carry out cleansing andclearing on the property while a develop-ment tender process concludes.

The property, owned byprovincial government,has been selected as thesite for a mixed-use devel-opment, which will see thecreation of 155 residentialunits.

A site visit was carriedout by public works minis-ter Donald Grant, wardcouncillor Jacques Weberand the Sea Point Community Police Fo-rum.

The department has committed to carryout maintenance on the site by cutting backovergrown vegetation, says Weber.

It is also considering carrying out repairsto the electric fencing surrounding theproperty, he says.

During the visit, it was estimated thatclearing overgrown vegetation on the sitewould cost between R250 000 and R300 000,Weber says.

The project should be completed by theend of the year, Weber says.

The Department of Public Works had notresponded to media queries at the time ofgoing to print.

Despite previous reports of vagrancy atthe site, increased security has preventedany recent cases of vagrancy, explains We-ber.

The property has been empty for severalmonths after the last ten-ant of Wynyard Mansionswas evicted.

The pupils of TafelbergSchool moved to their newschool building in thethird term of 2010.

The new premisesmerged the primary andhigh schools in a buildingdesigned to be fully acces-

sible.During a presentation to the Ward 54

Committee (“Designs on development”,People’s Post, 15 May), consultant to the pro-vincial public works department FrankCummings confirmed 20 expressions of in-terest had been received to develop the site.

The historical façade will be preserved,with the creation of a park in front of thebuilding.

The bidding process is expected to be fi-nalised by March.

STREET PEOPLE

Study givesnew insightT he City of Cape Town’s Social De-

velopment and Early Childhood De-velopment Directorate has complet-

ed the first of a three-phase project to im-prove its response to the plight of streetpeople.A street people surveywas conducted in

shelters and on the streets over a four-dayperiod in June by 220 trained fieldwork-ers.The survey included a head count and

the completion of questionnaires to estab-lish how long respondents have been onthe streets, their communities of origin,what they do to survive on the streets, andwhether or not they use shelters and serv-ices within the city, explains MayoralCommittee member for Social Develop-ment and Early Childhood DevelopmentSuzette Little.“We already have numerous interven-

tions in place. These interventions are,however, based on estimates dating backa number of years,” she says.“We therefore decided to gain a better

understanding over time of how manypeople we are dealing with and look to re-purposing our interventions if need be.”Over 2 500 people participated in the

survey.Of the 1 593 who reported on the length

of time that they have been on the street,17% had been on the street for between

one and five years with 15% fairly new ar-rivals who had been on the streets for lessthan one to six months.Geographically, the highest number of

respondents was counted in the CapeTown City Bowl.Approximately 15% of the sample re-

ported being on the street out of choice,with most reporting lack of housing(26%), the loss of family (18%), substanceabuse (15%), and unemployment and eco-nomic factors (15%) as reasons for theircontinued stay on the street.Therewas a significant difference in the

income strategies between those living onthe street and those in shelters.When living on the street, income was

predominately generated from begging(45%), temporary or contract employment(37%) and social grants (2%).Those in shelters had more access to

temporary employment (43%), socialgrants (29%) and fewer than 8% resortedto begging on the street.The next phase of the project is to com-

pare the latest data with the findings ofprevious surveys and establish trendsthat could further shape the directorate’sstreet people interventions.“Once we fin-ish phase two, we’ll move on to the finalphase which is the establishment of a da-tabase, using this data that we have col-lected as a foundation,” says Little..

Sassa scam alertSocial grant recipients are cautioned to be onthe alert.Con artists are now targeting grant benefi-

ciaries to gain access to their personal infor-mation and Sassa card numbers.According to a statement from the provin-

cial social development department, mostlyKhayelitsha residents have fallen prey to thefraudsters. “The scamhas allegedly involvedSassa clients being called by individualsclaiming to be representatives of the depart-

ment or Sassa, asking them to validate theirpersonal information, including the digits ontheir Sassa cards,” says a statement.“We would like to alert the public to this

scam and urge people to not give over theirpersonal information to unsolicited callersclaiming to be from either Sassa or the de-partment.”V Anyone with information or who has received sucha call can phone 0800 220 250. Alternatively phone0800 601 011.

Dealing with disasterA total of 148 emergency services personnelfrom across the province have been trainedin an internationally recognised responsesystem.The candidates received position specific

training in the Incident Command System(ICS), themethod which became the UnitedStates’ national incident response systemafter the 9/11 terrorist attacks.And it is expected to play an integral role

in part of new national incident manage-ment system which government is in theprocess of drawing up.Held last month, the two-week course,

funded by USAID, saw the personnel fromfivemunicipalities –with support frompro-vincial government, the City of Cape Town,Cape Nature, SANParks, the private sectorand Working on Fire – participate.The training was conducted by FFA

Training and the South African ICS Work-ing Team.“The Western Cape has been very proac-

tive in adopting ICS,” saysFFATrainingdi-rector Fred Farvard.ICS is based on four basic principles: the

systemmust be organisationally flexible tomeet the needs of incidents of any size andkind; organisations must be able to use thesystem for routine situations and majoremergencies daily; it must facilitate a com-mon management structure which inte-grates personnel fromavariety of agencies,

organisations and locations; and it must becost effective.New York City Fire Department deputy

chiefMikeMcPartlandwas one of the train-ers.He says: “Imagine if all agencies respond-

ing to an emergency in South Africa wereon exactly the same page. Imagine if agen-cies from every town and province had acommon understanding of how an incidentshould be managed and could seamlesslywork together. That’s what we hope ICSwill bring to South Africa.”ICS started developing in the US in the

1970s after catastrophic fires in California.It has been used to fight natural and man-made disasters.The SA ICS Working Team was estab-

lished inMarch 2004, following the third In-ternational Wild and Fire Conference inAustralia. Back then, the conference rec-ommended the introduction of ICS as a glo-bal standard organisation system for firemanagement.After SA requested support in introduc-

ing ICS, the US agreed, as it viewed SA asa gateway for rolling out the system inAfri-ca. Along with USAid, it provided fundingfor training from 2009 to 2014. The trainingand funding has been extended to 2017.Various levels of training have been un-

dertaken – the position specific training inthis province focused on training emergen-cy services officers, FPA members and pri-vate sector candidates in specific roleswithin ICS. “We hope that by using a com-mon system in which all responders havea clear understanding of their roles andhow they fit into the overall system, emer-gency services and all other sectors will beable to work together to manage any disas-ter, incident or event,” Farvard says.

MINSTRELS

A boost forlocal cultureAn historic pledge of financial and oth-

er support for the minstrels, Malayand Christmas choirs has been

signed.The signatories include mayor Patricia

de Lille and provincial minister of CulturalAffairs and Sport Dr NomafrenchMbombo.And in a first this year, this festive season’sminstrel carnival through the streets of thecity will be run by the minstrels them-selves.Mbombo stressed the importance of pre-

serving theWesternCape’s culture andher-itage. Among others, this gives the so-called“lost generation” a sense of belonging to aculture that is a source of pride, she says.The Department of Cultural Affairs and

Sport has promised its support by facilitat-

ing, regulating and supporting the newly-formed Cape Cultural Event and CarnivalCommittee and has pledged R2.37m to sup-port events that take place until April.“We are only the facilitators in this proc-

ess, and we urge citizens to express them-selves through the arts and their culture,”said department director for Arts, Cultureand Language Jane Stuurman-Moleleki.“We will give the committee ownership

of staging its own events but will still bethere to supportmembers andgive themthenecessary tools to make it work. Culture isembedded in the search for ‘who am I?’ Weneed to preserve the heritage of TweedeNu-we Jaar. Historically, this was the only dayslaves were allowed to be free and expressthemselves through song and dance.”

TRAUMA CENTRE

Here’s hope to heal the brokenNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King,the Dalai Lama and Nelson Mandelahave all advocated for a violence-free

society.Now a Cape Town based organisation is

taking up this mantle, providing services tovictims of violence and educating communi-ties.The Trauma Centre in Zonnebloem pro-

vides violence prevention and communitytraumapsychosocial services to those affect-ed by violence, explains director Valdi vanReenen-Le Roux.“Violence prevention programmes focus

on changing people’smindsets about and ad-vocating for policy reform that will bringabout safer communities.“We believe that a non-violent society can

only come aboutwhen each person practisesnon-violent ideals and values,” she says.

Violent societyAccording to Health24.com, trauma in

South Africa is common owing to high ratesof violent crimes, including physical andsexual assault, hijacking and domestic vio-lence.Eight out of 100 individuals will develop

Post Traumatic Street Disorder (PTSD) atsome time in their lives.This is more prevalent in women, who are

more than twice as likely as men to have thedisorder.TreatingPTSD is vital to preventing its de-

bilitating effects, saysSouthAfricanDepres-sion and Anxiety Group (Sadag) spokesper-son Cassey Chamber.“If left untreated PTSD can lead to depres-

sion, anxiety or panic disorders. It can also

lead to behaviour such as wanting to hurtoneself, alcohol and drug abuse, tiredness,stomach pains, diarrhoea, eating disorders,breathing problems or asthma, musclecramps, back aches, sleeping problems andheart problems,” she says.In the first half of this year, the Trauma

Centre provided over 4 000 people with trau-ma counselling services, says Van Reenen-Le Roux.This number is expected to exceed 6 000 by

the year end.

Treating traumaWhile some are able to recover from a

traumaasa consequenceof violencewithoutpsychological services, there are many oth-ers that need support to prevent traumaticresponses from affecting their lives nega-tively, Van Reenen-Le Roux explains.“Psychological services support people to

process their traumatic responses in an ap-propriate way, particularly when they feelisolated and vulnerable.“These services help people to come to

terms with the trauma and its impact ontheir lives so that they are able to functionadequately at work, school, with their fami-ly and in the community. Unresolved trau-ma can have a devastating effect on peopleand their families’ lives,” she says.Anyperson, family or group that has expe-

rienced trauma as a consequence of violencecan access the centre’s services, VanReenen-Le Roux says.A number of types of violence are ad-

dressed, such as suicide, domestic violence,sexual offences, armed robberies, physicalassault, hijacking, traumatic bereavement,gang violence, torture and xenophobia.“We also provide trauma debriefing serv-

ices for businesses which have experiencedan armed robbery, hijacking or other crime-related incident.“Frontline workers such as educators, po-

lice officers, social workers and communityleaders can access self-care programmes tocombat various trauma as a consequence ofexposure to violence on a daily basis,” shesays.Refugees and asylum seekers, farm work-

ers, farming communities, women and chil-dren, torture survivors and communityworkers are all given priority care, VanReenen-Le Roux says.“People can call, walk in or be referred for

counselling services.”

Healing processBetty* was in a violent relationship for

seven years, during which physical abusewas a daily experience for her and four ofher children.The children were so badly abused that

they had to be removed by a social worker,Betty says.“He used to beat me badly. One day I came

home from work and my children were be-ing taken away. I felt like the earth couldopen up and swallow me. I had such a holein my heart and fell into depression,” shesays.Leaving her partner and the city she was

living in was the only way she could get herchildren back, Betty explains.“I had to choose between my job or my

children,” she says.Since moving, Betty has accessed weekly

counselling.“This has really helped. It’s not easy and

the trauma doesn’t just go away,” she says.Depressive episodes still often sneakupon

her.“Something triggers it andeverything just

comes flooding back,” she says.“But in counselling, you can speak about

your true feelings. When you’re done witha session, you feel somuch better. I’m begin-ning to heal.”

Breaking the cycleBreaking the cycle of violence is also an

important part of theirwork,VanReenen-LeRoux says.More than 7 000 people received trauma-

psycho education last year.“Our biggest challenge is when violence

has become normalised and an accepted so-lution to all life’s challenges. It is difficultto change mindsets that are deeply en-trenched in supporting violent means.“Swearing may not be viewed as a violent

act even though it is abusive andhurtful andbullying affects so many schools, with someparents instructing their children to take re-venge by fighting back when they are bul-lied,” she says.The centre runs 15 school-based trauma

counselling services – in Elsies River,Manenberg, Belhar and Athlone – and com-munity trauma counselling clinics inManenberg, Belhar, the West Coast, Khay-elitsha and Woodstock.However, funding their work remains a

challenge, says Van Reenen-Le Roux.“Most funders prefer to fund projects

where there are tangible outcomes. Withtrauma counselling, it is difficult tomeasurethe impact of our work.“Professional, registered staff who are

competent and experienced to deal with theeffects of violence on an individual, familyor community’s level of psychological well-being are costly but worth the investment.“Violence is one of the prominent causes

of death and is a public health challenge glo-bally yet victim redress is often not a priori-ty,” she says.*Betty is an assumed name.

V The Trauma Centre has been selected as the charitybeneficiary of the People’s Post/TygerBurger Hot Sum-mer Groove concert which takes place at GrandWeston Saturday 6 December. Tickets to the event – whichfeatures performances by, among others, Alistair Izo-bell, Emo and Loukmaan Adams, Blackbyrd and Ram-aine Barreiro-Lloyd – cost R130 and R5 of each ticketsold will go to the organisation. As an added bonus,we will be giving away a car at the show. Tickets areavailable at Computicket.

Call to keep children safeMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

C ar seats for infants are no longer anoption.With amendments to the National

Road Traffic Act (NRTA) parents and car-egivers are now forced to ensure childrenaged from 0 to three are buckled up.An announcement on the amendments

was made by provincial transport ministerDonald Grant last week where he made anappeal to parents to buckle young childrenin appropriate car seats and protect themfrom horrific injuries.

LawIn a statement, Grant explains the amend-

ments were promulgated on Friday 31 Octo-ber.He highlights the changes which stipulate

that all children from newborns to the ageof three have to be transported in appropri-ate child seats when travelling in private ve-hicles.Alida Jones, former Fish Hoek resident

and founder of Drive More Safely, is excitedabout the amendments and has spent sever-al years lobbying for the changes.She explains after assisting at an accident

scene on the N1 in 2011 where a young childhad died, she studied the Act to see what thestipulations were regarding car seats.“I noticed that therewasnothing to ensure

that young children were buckled up and itstated that children three and older shouldbe in a car seat if available,” she explains.Jones says she was concerned and started

lobbying for the law to be changed.She is happy about the changes but ques-

tions the enforcement thereof.

According to the statement the penalty fornot obeying this new rule has not yet beendetermined.This will be based on a submission of rec-

ommendation to the chief magistrates of dif-ferent districts for consideration and ap-proval. “Recommendations will need to bemade in respect of all new offences that havebeen created by these amended regula-tions,” Grant adds.

FatalitiesGrant explains an analysis conducted by

Safely Home, using audited fatality datafrom the Forensic Pathology Services of theprovincial health department, showed themajority of the bodies of young childrenwhodied as passengers in road crashes were re-covered outside or under the vehicle.“The presence of the body outside the ve-

hicle is a near-certain indicator that thechild was not restrained or was improperlyrestrained, as ejection does not occur whenan appropriate child restraint is used,” hesays.According to the statistics provided by the

department, 292 children aged from zero to14 were killed in accidents in the WesternCape between 2011 and 2013.Of this total, 27werebabies agedbelowone

year old and 36 were children aged betweentwo and four.Of the 27 babies, 11 were found outside the

vehicle and seven inside. It is unknownwhere the remaining nine were found.Of the 36 children aged between two and

four, 21 were found outside the vehicle, 10inside and the location of the remaining fiveare unknown.Commenting on the statistics, Grant says

the presence of the body inside the vehicle

is not an exclusionary factor in determiningif the child was restrained or not.“The analysis therefore erred on the side

of caution by default,” he says.“The data is indicative of a minimum of

two small children being killed on WesternCape roads each month after being ejectedfrom a vehicle in a road crash,” he says.Grant further explains passengers ejected

from a crash face a 75% chance of beingkilled due to ground impact injuries and col-lisions with other objects and vehicles.

AwarenessIn December 2011, Jones made an appeal

to Far South residents to donate unused carseats to the organisation.

The car seats are then given a makeoverand the organisation ensures they are inworking order.Jones explains the car seats are then given

to familieswhoneed themand the first dona-tions were given in Fish Hoek in 2012.To date they have donatedmore than 4 000

car seats.She has now appealed for parents and car-

egivers to be responsible and ensure chil-dren are buckled up.“When you lose a child it is too late. It best

for all of us to take responsibility and ensuretheir safety,” she adds.V If you would like to donate a car seat or are in needof one phone Jones on 081 311 3223 or email [email protected]

tains. And polishing the silverware that comes out onlytwice a year – at Christmas and again at Easter.Then there’s the outfit for Mom, Dad and kids.Maybe even the dog will get an outfit. In this new South

Africa anything is possible.The tree.The gifts – some still with cash slip intact to return on

Boxing Day, just in case the size or colour doesn’t satisfy.Appeals to support charities.Giving and getting. Dropping hints.Making do with little.Giving away even less.Perhaps the citizens of our fair city should consider sav-

ing some of their hard-earned pay. Or at the very leastmake a dent in their mounting debt.Do you really need a new lounge suite?Tone down, already. Temper the impulse to spendmon-

same winter menu that hints at pre-diabetes in the newyear. Give yourselves a break.

End Guy Fawkes madnessI cannot stand idly byandwatch the continu-ation of Guy Fawkes, which is nothingmorethana senseless, chaotic and, for some, dead-ly tradition.Many Capetonians associate Guy Fawkes

with bonfires and fireworks, as is custom inGreat Britain where Guy Fawkes Day origi-nated. Every year, the ‘celebration’ sparksmassive debate about the use of fireworks –usually with very strong opposing views.But for many residents on the Cape Flats,

the detonation of fireworks is the least oftheir concerns. For decades, communitieshave been terrorised by criminal elementsonGuyFawkesDay, and I think the timehascome to draw a line in the sand and say ‘nomore’.On Wednesday 5 November, reports were

surfacing as early as mid-morning of ma-rauding gangs of youths, running amok ontheCapeFlats. Schooling inanumberof sub-urbs, but Mitchell’s Plain and Bonteheuwelin particular, was badly affected as pupilsstayed home, fearful of falling victim tothese gangs who use anything at their dis-posal towreakhavoc and pilemisery on law-abiding, decent citizens.Where is the fun in covering people with

paint or shoe polish?What level-headed per-son can findmerriment andmirth in attack-ing someone with a stone-filled sock, eggs oreven faeces?How does the ‘celebration’ of Guy Fawkes

Day justify terrorising and robbing shop-keepers and informal traders?

While gangs are known to use the coverof Guy Fawkes Day for nefarious activities,themajority of these roamingmobs are com-prised of young children – some no olderthan six. This is of grave concern becauseit speaks to a level of dysfunction in our soci-ety. It is symptomatic of the deeper socio-economic ills that plague our city and coun-try. It is also symptomatic of the lack of pa-rental guidance and control in many of ourcommunities.For many, the automatic responses to the

terror of Guy Fawkes are ‘where are the po-lice?’ and ‘what are the authorities doing?’The real question should be: ‘Where are theparents, families and guardians of thosechildren who are holding communities toransom with their vile acts?’Respect for self and others starts in the

home and that’s where the buck needs tostop.I would like nothing more than to lobby

for a formal ban on Guy Fawkes Day, but Iam under no illusion a formal ban will morethan likely not put paid to this behaviour.Instead, it is up to communities to unmaskthese elements and their cowardice and tosend a strongmessage that their actionswillnot be tolerated.What we’re witnessing now is nothing

short of assault with intent to do grievousbodily harm.SUZETTE LITTLE,City of Cape Town Mayco member for Social Devel-opment and Early Childhood Development

Unite in fighton crimeI read an article in a community news-paper in which officials againmoanedabout crime being out of control andthat our police are under-resourced.The article said factors like gangs,

drug abuse, unemployment and poorparenting, theneed formoneyandper-ceptions about the justice systemwerevoted main contributors for crime.Dan Plato was quoted as saying that

“on average, there are between 45 and55 murders a week and about 95 rapesare reported a week”.That is terrifying and means life is

considered cheap.We should stop playing with statis-

tics.Weare the victimswhoare suffer-ing physically, financially, emotional-ly and spirituallybecauseour [govern-ment] is doing absolutely nothing tostop this wave of terror. Meetings andtalking is worthless as nothing re-sourceful gets implemented and thenext time we have meetings with thesame agenda but still nothing getsdone to protect the citizens.The captains appointed to protect us

against crime are tied by the same jar-gon and fruitless meetings that fadelike mist after the meetings have beenclosed. [Government, safety and secu-rity structures] and the public shouldstop this tsunami of barbaric crime,pray for our country and the wisdomto open police colleges to enrol hordesof men and women in blue and in do-ing so we have to reach the goal of be-coming a police state.Metro Police and Law Enforcement

agencies are to combine to resourcethis police state. Every reservist mustbe amalgamated into one strong policeforce and our matriculants should berecruited in our police force. It is timewe become “kragdadig” in the fightagainst crime because criminals haveno mercy if we fall into their clutches.Whenwehave this police state crim-

inals will realise crime does not pay.KEITH BLAKE,Ottery

NOTICE OF AMEETING OF THE COUNCILOF THE CITY OF CAPE TOWN

DIABETES

Fighting fitDiabetes continues to manifest as one of

themost prevalent chronic lifestyle dis-eases and causes of death inCapeTown.

As a result, the City of Cape Town’s HealthDirectorate is working to create an environ-ment that promotes healthy living and reduc-es the burden of the disease.This is being done through increasing the

department’s capacity to assist with preven-tion and early diagnosis of diabetes, whichcontinues to be one of the most commonchronic lifestyle diseases.Whilemanagement of chronic lifestyle dis-

eases is done mostly at provincial health fa-cilities, City Health recognises the need forintervention at primary healthcare level andhas thus instituted a number of screeningprocesses within the scope of its mandate toreachmore clients and improve access to ear-ly testing and treatment where required.Mayoral Committee member for Health

Benedicta van Minnen says all City Healthfacilities are equipped to calculate clients’body mass index, and to do urine sugarscreening andblood sugar tests, aswell as ba-sic life support and resuscitation.Additional interventions include health

promotion talks; partnerships with non-gov-ernmental organisations that conduct well-ness screening as part of their communityoutreach programmes, counselling existingdiabetes clients on adherence to medication,diet, foot care and eye care; as well as assist-ing with the provision and dispensing of pre-packed chronic medication.VanMinnen says diabetes cannot be cured,

but it can be managed if detected earlyenough. “Prevention is ultimately the bestpossible outcomeand that iswhere thepublicneeds to play a bigger role. Diabetes can bethe result of poor eating habits and a seden-tary lifestyle, which also accounts for the

close link with obesity,” says Van Minnen.“We need to promote more active lifestyles

and better nutrition choices if we are to ad-dresswhat should really be considered an ep-idemic that is weighing rather heavily on thehealthcare system. Early prevention is keyand so as we mark World Diabetes Day, Iwant to challenge Capetonians to get tested.”Studies have found that obesity is a grow-

ing problem in South Africa, with indica-tions that more than 60% of South Africanwomen are overweight or obese. The Cityhas, in recent years, invested millions ofrands in providing infrastructure and envi-ronments that promote healthy living, in-cluding numerous outdoor gyms in parksacross the city and over 20 synthetic pitches.The City’s Sport, Recreation and Ameni-

ties Department also undertook a recreationstudy and found that the top 10 activitieswhich womenwould like to participate in re-flect a desire for more active recreational ac-tivities such as walking, aerobics, running,dancing and gymnastics, rather than formalteam sports.Mayoral Committee member for Commu-

nity Services and Special Projects BelindaWalker says:“We have put considerable ef-fort into understanding what kind of activi-ties women are interested in and how best tocreate an opportunity for them to becomemore physically active in their day-to-daylives,” she says.“Coming out of this research, this depart-

ment has started a number of programmesin community halls focused on women.Dance, gymnastic and aerobics programmeshave attracted many women who, up untilnow, had not had their recreational needs ca-tered for by formal sports clubs.”V The Cape Town Diabetes Run/ Walk will take placethis weekend in Sea Point. Call (021) 425 4440.

Waggle your way into summerPaws from all over Cape Town will con-verge on Constantia for the annual4.5km Wiggle Waggle Walkathon.The event on Sunday 7 December is a

CAPE DANCE COMPANY

Dancing fortwo decadesThe Cape Dance Company

is celebrating its 20th an-niversary season at the

Artscape Theatre fromThursday 27 November toSaturday 6 December.

Two new works will be pre-sented by Christopher L Hug-gins from the USA – Blue, anall-male ballet, and In theMir-ror of HerMind, a pas de quat-re. Huggins has a long-stand-ing relationship with thecompany, having stagedthree of his ballets on thecompany since 2010, most no-tably the award-winning Ene-my Behind The Gates and Bo-lero.

The season is again diverseand exciting, showcasing theversatility of the companydancers. Blue is a transcend-ent work that is a moving ex-ploration into maleness –their physicality and psyche,and their immediate associa-tion with the colour blue. Thecrisp lyrical patterns andmeditative atmosphere givesway to unadorned physicali-ty, with razor-sharp turnsand sudden drops; the tran-quillity of dancers silhouet-ted against blue light is lacer-ated with shafts of white lightas themen break away to sep-arate solos and groups.Danced to music by ArvoPart, Ryuichi Sakamoto and Steve Reich,this work is full of driven, glorious dance.In the Mirror of Her Mind was originally

premiered by the Dance Theatre of Harlemin 2011 inNewYorkCity. Threemen and onewoman dance to Henryk Gorecki’s Sympho-ny No. 3, Opus 36 in which a woman reflectson the loves and losses of her lifetime. Thework is a semi-abstract exploration inwhichthe protagonist is set on a path of realisingher true nature, enriched by half-hidden im-plications and rich emotion.

Blue will close with Huggins’ show-stop-pingBolero that the company premiered lastyear at Artscape. Set in an abstract andsmoky atmosphere, the ballet is evocativeand tempestuous; danced by a cast of 12 withthrilling pas de deux set to Ravel’s pulsatingscore.V Performances run from Thursday 27 November untilSaturday 6 December at 20:00 in the Artscape Thea-tre, with a matinee on Saturday 6 December at 15:00.Tickets cost R140 to R160 with booking via Computick-et or Artscape Dial-A-Seat (021) 421 7695.

and when she makes a medical aid claimfor the loss of her tail it’s up to the compa-ny’s StrangeClaims officer, HowardFawls,to track down the reclusive Marie and in-vestigate.Did her tail ever exist at all? This encoun-

ter raises and interrogates questions ofhow bodies, both tangible and fantastical,are treated in contemporary South Africa.The Swell is a piece of magical realism,

which takes the audience into the realm ofpossibility where identity can be altered oredited; fantasy can be indulged in; and thelines between fact and fiction can be dis-torted.

WIN DINNER AND MEET ALISTAIR, EMO AND LOUKMAAN!

Get your groove onGARY VAN DYK

@gvdcapejazz

There’s a buzz in the air as Cape Towngets ready for a groove that will set thetone for a fantastic festive season.

On Saturday 6 December the beat will betaking place with a musical extravaganza,featuring the cream of Cape Town artists onone grand stage.Headline Entertainment in association

with Heart 104.9FM, People’s Postand Tyger-Burger will host the Hot Summer Grooveconcert at the Grand Arena.Taking to the stage are some talents that

need very little introduction to local musiclovers and actually started in the businessalmost as toddlers.Manymoons ago inMitchell’s Plain the fa-

ther of Emo and Loukmaan Adams startedthe Kinners Vannie Ses project (it is still go-ing strong) and the tiny talents thatwere fea-tured in this show includedRamaineBarrei-ro and Alistair Izobell.The rest, as they say, is history with Emo,

Loukmaan and Alistair eventually gettinginvolved with the Kramer/Petersen produc-tions. All of themplayed the role of Broertjiein District Six – The Musical at one stage.Theywerealsopart of thephenomenalKat

and the Kings that toured internationallyand won a Laurence Olivier Award in Lon-don.Alistair smiles when he recalls those

heady days when they were performing andtouring with the best on the local entertain-ment scene.“The Rockets andAl Etto played a big part

in taking our talent to another level, eventhough we were so young,” he said.“Loukman and myself were part of a tour

to Japan as part of Ricardo and Friends.When we got back we were joined by Emo

and Ramaine who added another dimensionto our sounds and we were encouraged toform the group Nu Fancy.“This was about 1990, and we first record-

ed with the Rockets and then on our own.Remember that the recording studio wasnext to Club Fame in Elsies River.”Looking back Alistair feels that this start

into the entertainment business made themrealise their destiny.“I think after a few years we realised this

is what we were designed to do with ourlives. All of us had music in our back-grounds,” he said.“The Adams’ always had some people

practising there for the minstrels or the Ma-lay Choirs. They participated in those com-petitions from young.“At Ramaine’s place the whole family

loved music; she was always singing tothem. And inmine therewere somany fami-ly members who played music but I am theone that took to it professionally and haveno regrets.”The concert will also feature the Sama-

nominated female vocal group Black-byrd.The Take Note band will be on stage.If you buy a ticket to this show you will

stand a chance of winning a brand new car– the latest FAW V2 1.3.All the tickets bought for the show will be

part of the lucky draw and thewinner on thenight will drive away in their new car.This event is part of a fundraising effort

Beasts continue unbeaten runSTEVLIN MALGAS

CapeTownAll Stars let yet another derbymatch slip through their fingers whenthey played to a 1-1 stalemate with FC

Cape Town at the Athlone Stadium on Fri-day evening.Coach Boebie Solomons was left haplessly

looking to the stars as his charges lackedcomposure in the final third to secure theirfirst home victory.The seventh Cape Derby of the season

started off at a blistering pace, with the FCCape Town outmuscling their hosts in theopening exchanges.Stars were shining the brightest in the

40th minute when midfielder Zaphaniah

Mbokoma gave his side the lead against hisformer team. The host took a 1-0 lead intothe break as the African Beasts were leftlicking their wounds.Stars continued where they left off and

started the secondhalf the brightest. Howev-er, following two quick substitutions for theAfrican Beasts, it was Sibusiso Masina whofound the back of the net for the visitors tolevel matters nine minutes into the secondhalf.The game soon opened up as both teams

searched for the winner and although Starshadmore clear-cut chances, they failed capi-talise on themto regain the lead.Meanwhile,the visitors had their chances as well, butwere denied by the heroics of goalkeeper

Kyle Peters.With neither side able break the deadlock,

1-1 is how it ended as the two Cape sides add-ed to their draw masters reputation. The re-

sult saw FC Cape Town record their eighthdraw in eleven matches, while Stars are notfar off with seven draws. CapeTownFootballFacebook page
