HIGGOVALE

Old farmhouse up for saleNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Steeped in history, a former Higgovalefarmhouse has gone up for sale.This with the hope that a sale will

bring a new residential development.The Higgo Road house was gutted in a fire

a few years agowhich damaged it beyond re-pair, explains estate agent Michele Apper-ley.A plan was put forward to create sectiona-

lised residences, incorporating the historiccottages, prior to the fire.“The old farmhouse had heritage value

until the fire. The property is now in an ir-reparable state and the current owners haveobtained a demolition certificate from theheritage council,” she says.The original buildings on the property –

two small semi-detached cottages – were re-portedly designed in the 1890s by architectErnst Seegliger. And while the property hasbeen standing open it has become a concernfor neighbours, says Cape Town CentralCommunity Police Forum chairperson Nic-ola Jowell. “The property at 3 Higgo Road isquite a sad situation,” she says.“What a beautiful corner of our area and

to be left in that state. There have been nu-merous complaints in the past about thestate of the property and the safety concernto the neighbouring residents.”The organisation has been notified on oc-

casion of people squatting on the propertyand criminals using it to hide in, as an es-cape route or to store stolen property, Jowellsays. The interior of the buildinghas also be-come a canvas for graffiti.“We do always urge residents to report

graffiti to the council as soon as possible.The council does remove it extremely quick-ly, which is important as graffiti left unat-tended to can lead to our safety concerns.We

have not receivedmany complaints recentlyabout the property but are extremelypleased to hear that it will be sold and hopethat a new development is undertaken swift-ly,” she says.HeritageWestern Cape confirmed demoli-

tion of the properties had been approved in

August 2013, but had not provided more de-tails at the time of going to print. The proper-ty is currently for sale at around R11m, Ap-perley says, and has received much interestfrom developers, despite restrictive zoning.“With the lack of vacant land of this size

inHiggovale, it would be lovely to see a large

family home or two homes on equally sizederven or even a townhouse type security de-velopment if possible,” she says.“I do think the residents in Higgo Road

wouldwelcome some finality andoccupancyof like-minded neighbours in the not too dis-tant future.”

BUSINESS

Rag trade upswingNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Locally made, internationally sold.That’s what a new deal between Sten-ströms and House of Monatic (HOM)

in Salt River will equate to.While they would not be drawn on the

value of the deal, the agreement betweenthe 150-year-old Stenströms, a Swedishhigh-end shirt manufacturer, and Brim-stone, which owns HOM, effectively se-cures at least 10 jobs.This in itself may notmake an overnight

dent in job security for the thousands offactory workers left unemployed duringthe Cape Town rag trade bust.However, the jobs are expected to incre-

mentally increase as markets expand.The deal is only for a year, but is open

to extension, and will see 10 000 shirtsmade.This is set to double in two year’s time.HOM scooped the deal after manufactur-

ing was moved from Europe and Mauri-tius.According to Stenströms managing di-

rector andCEOAndersBengtsson,movingproduction to South Africa will create be-tween eight and 10 new jobs.This number is set to increase as the

brand grows.Stenströms is also considering handing

over a contract to produce women’s blous-es. Themanufacturers will use fine fabricsfrom Europe selected by Stenströms.The boost to HOM has not only brought

new jobs, managing director Mike Maurersays.A planned R3m investment, funded by

the Productivity Incentive Scheme of theDTI will add to the manufacturing qualityand productivity of the company, he says.“With the proliferation of foreign retail-

ers opening up in South Africa, none ofwhich source any local production, it is en-couraging to see that Stenströms takes adifferent view,” he says.HOM floor manager Doreen Carollisen

says the deal has also seen a skills tradebetween the two companies.“One of the challengeswe’ve had to over-

come is how they do things differently.This transfer of skills can now be used tomake other brands,” she says.But the contract was too big for staff to

not take on the challenge, says machinistBaliswa Makabana.

“We’ve had a shortage of orders, so eventhough this new style seems difficult, I toldmyself that I have to make it,” explainsMakabana.“Because we can’t lose orders, we’ve

adapted to the new style. It’s a very neatway of working, and it has been very inter-esting to learn,” she says.HOMhas alsomaintained stable employ-

ment levels over the last few years and hasincreased their training school capacity toensure a steady flow of new entrants, Mau-rer adds.Bengtsson says the company is following

the global trend of making products last,making them in a sustainableway and pro-

ducing them locally close to the consumer.“At the same time, we would be boosting

the South African clothing industry andcreating job opportunities in this industrywhich has been under siege for a numberof years,” he says.“Our first consignment made by House

of Monatic was well-received when it wasdelivered recently to Stuttafords, our soledistributor.”Stenströms products are available in

more than 20 countries, and Bengtssonhopes the partnership will allow expan-sion across the continent.“With South Africa being the gateway to

Africa, we are hoping we can explore the

possibilities with House of Monatic,” hesays.“Aswe see it, the possibilities are not on-

ly a more affordable and sustainable pro-duction. It could also lead to a closer coop-eration in a number of aspects of the busi-ness, leading to a win-win situation forboth organisations and the local clothingindustry.”And seeing HOM handiwork on the

streets of South Africa is in itself a reward,Carollisen says.“Wemanufacture top of the range shirts,

and Stenströms is just the cherry on thetop. We’re very proud of what we can pro-duce,” she says.

Support the local clothing marketWe should know whose label we are wear-ing.Buying locally produced clothing goes a

long way to boosting the economy.This is the message of the Wear South Af-

rican campaign, the trademark of theSouthern African Clothing and TextileWorkers Union (Sactwu), which aims to en-courage South Africans to buy local gar-ments, textiles and leatherwear, and to beaware of the impact their purchasing deci-sions have on the local economy and on lo-cal jobs.Sactwu general secretary André Kriel

says the clothing and textile sector is an im-portant contributor to the national GrossDomestic Production (GDP). However, itssustainability continues to be threateneddue to many factors, not least of all, the in-flux of poor quality, cheaper and illegalgoods, he explains.“As the consumerism trend switches

from repetitive buying to purchasing quali-

ty and well-made classics that will last, thetide is turning and the local industry is onceagain starting to grow.”This trend stands out in the eCommerce

market where opportunities are plentifulfor brands and designers. This is being tak-en into account with the timing and empha-sis of this campaign.The Wear South African campaign en-

compasses SA-made clothing and is target-ed at all income groups.Since launching in 2014, Sactwu has

opened three Wear South African storesthat retail a rangeofmenandwomen’s qual-ity garments at affordableprices.While costeffective, the quality remains of the higheststandard.At the other end of the scale, Sactwu,

through its official Wear SA campaign, in-vites established, emerging and student de-signers to create home-grown ranges thattempt more expensive pockets.These collections (as well as the Sactwu

own designed ranges) will be shown at anumber of fashion promotion events overthe comingmonths, highlighting design tal-ent and the innovation that can be achievedwith locally made products.“With a tightened belt, due to global eco-

nomic pressures and our recent budget an-nouncement, buying local should be an im-perative for everyone. SoThink,Design andWear South African and make it count,”Kriel says.V Visit www.wearsaofficial.co.za for more information.

CBD

More officers to patrol metroNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

As the council announces plans to boostlaw enforcement numbers, City Bowlstakeholders are hoping some of these

resources will be funnelled into the CBD.Ward councillor Dave Bryant has been

lobbying for more officers on the streets ofthe CBD to assist with growing visitor num-bers and the knock-on traffic and bylaw vio-lations.He confirmed in a recent ward committee

meeting that he had approached mayoralcommittee member for safety and securityJP Smith to request more officers.TheCBD fallswithinAreaWest of themet-

ro, which has a total staff complement of 74,plus 11 staff members deployed through ad-ditional funding from the Central Improve-ment Districts in the city bowl, Green Pointand Sea Point, explains Smith.These officers work until 18:00, with only

specialisedunits suchas liquor enforcementand vice squads working later.The City of Cape Town now plans to swell

its ranks with an additional 72 officers whowould patrol the greater metro 24 hours aday. “The proposed deployment for law en-forcement is to utilise 40 officers and eightinspectors and to split them into 10 officersper area with two inspectors as supervi-sors,” he says.ThismeansAreaWest,which includesRe-

treat, Strandfontien, Woodstock, Clare-mont, False Bay and the City Bowl, will re-ceive a dozen additional officers.“The proposed deployment for Cape Town

Traffic is to utilise four inspectors as super-visors and 20 existing traffic officers and tosplit them into six officers per area,” Smith

says.This will amount to five operational mem-

bers plus one supervisor per area.While there are currently 240 public safety

officers deployed by the Cape Town CentralCity ImprovementDistrict (CCID), they onlyhave limited powers, explains safety and se-curity manager Mo Hendricks.“Lawenforcement officers have the power

to enforce all bylaws, including non-movingtraffic violations, for which they can issuefines. They also have powers of arrest, aswell as search and seizure. The only arreststhat our CCID public safety officers may en-gage with are in connection with schedule

1 offences that occur in their presence,” hesays.Although the CCID offers a visible pres-

ence 24/7, 365 days a year, this leaves a needfor more law enforcement, Hendricks says.“The Cape Town CBD is gradually evolv-

ing into a 24-hour centre, with increasingnumbers of both night-time visitors as wellas residents living in the central city, anddeployment of law enforcement around theclock, seven days a week, is a priority forpublic safety,” he says.However, Smith says the need stretches

across the metro, not just in the CBD.“There are many bylaw and traffic trans-

gressions that require enforcement after-hours. This proposed roll-out is aimedat cre-ating a safer city for residents and to reducethe pressure on the City’s Metro Police De-partment which is currently the only en-forcement agency offering a dedicated 24-hour service,” he says. Hendricks believesnurturing a culture of law abiding citizen-ship is vital and can only be done when mi-nor offences, such as by-law and traffic in-fringements, are attended to.“Taking these infringements into hand

and dealing with them swiftly and effective-ly is the bestway tominimisemajor offencesfrom occurring,” he insists.

Organisation aims toprotect history of CTNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Concerned over the loss of historicalproperties across the city, a groupof resi-dents have now banded together to pro-mote the protection of Cape Town’s heri-tage.The Heritage Activation Coalition

held their first meeting on Thursday 26March, during which the aims of the or-ganisation were discussed.Founder Mark Magielse says there is

a need “to protect what we’ve got morethan what we have been doing”.“Older buildings are being demolished

at a rate that is scary,” he says.The organisation aims to serve as a

platform to identify protection-worthysites and educate the public on their im-portance, Magielse says.This has become increasingly impor-

tant as Heritage Western Cape (HWC)fills a judiciary body, he explains, in-stead of focusing on theprotectionof her-itage properties.“We are not here to fight against HWC.

We want to engage with them, develop-ers and council,” he says.The formation of the coalition comes

after a report revealed that over 300Western Cape heritage buildings havebeendemolished in 16months (“Sites un-der microscope”, People’s Post 20 Janu-ary).The Green Point Ratepayers’ Associa-

tion released this information based on

numbers obtained from Heritage West-ern Cape.However, HeritageWestern Cape CEO

Andrew Hall says the statement by theassociation was misleading and thatmany of the demolished buildings werenot formally protected or had no heri-tage significance.During the same period, Heritage

Western Cape processed over 3 300 appli-cations, Hall says.Thismakes the number of demolitions

less than 10% of all applications re-ceived.The Green Point Ratepayers’ Associa-

tion is currently challenging an appealby the owners of 8 Romney Road, a 108-year-old home, against a ruling that itmay not be demolished to make way fora multi-storey development.“Similar decisions anddemolitionper-

mits have been granted by HeritageWestern Cape in Fresnaye, De Water-kant, Vredehoek, and many other sub-urbs,” Magielse says.Fellow founding member Ann Nurock

says development and heritage protec-tion need to go hand-in-hand.“Development at any cost is unaccept-

able. Development is good, but it can alsodestroy heritage. There needs to be a bal-ance,” she says.

Erwin a natural athleteNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

It took only twomonths fornine-year-old Erwin Buc-cholz to be awarded hisprovincial colours for highjump – even though he hadnever competed in theevent before.Erwin joined Camps Bay

Primary at the beginningof the year after immigrat-ing from the UK late lastyear.His first taste of athletics

was at the school’s inter-house competition in Feb-ruary, where he broke thehigh jump record with ajump of 1,20m.He then improved this

during practice before at-tending the Western Prov-ince Athletics Trials heldin Stellenbosch earlier in themonth. Here hejumped a personal best of 1,34m and took thegold medal.At the South African Primary Schools

Championships in Germis-ton on Friday 20 March, heranked eighth.Erwin is the first Camps

Bay Primary pupil to beawarded his provincial col-ours, but the Grade 3 pupilhas not let the achievementgo to his head.“I like the feeling you get

on clearing the jump,” hesays.“I play soccer, rugby and

tennis and I always wantedto be a professional soccerplayer. But maybe now I’llbecomeanathlete instead.”Erwin has even set his

sights on competing at theJunior Olympics when heturns 16, leaving him a fewyears to hone his skills.An all-rounder, Erwin

loves reading spy novels –a field hemay also consider

as a career if he benches his sports dreams.Erwin has been selected to represent West-ern Province in the SA Junior AthleticsChamps in Sasolburg later this term.

UCT

‘Hate speechunacceptable’University of Cape Town (UCT) vice-

chancellor Max Price condemnscommentary written on the “Have

Your Say” notice boards placed next tothe Rhodes statue.Price says some of the comments writ-

ten on the board amounts to “racist hatespeech”.“This is totally unacceptable and I con-

demn this in the strongest possibleterms.We recognise how this aggravatesthe pain and hurt experienced by the tar-gets of such insults and it certainly be-devils genuine debate,” he says.Price says if they can identify thewrit-

ers, they will take disciplinary actionand because the boards can’t be moni-tored at all times, and to avoid the of-fence caused by such anonymous postsunder UCT’s auspices, the boards wereremoved.People’s Post previously reported

(“Transformation pains”, Tuesday 24March) that about 100 UCT studentsjoined in a protestmarch to the universi-ty’s Bremner Building last week to de-mand that the Cecil John Rhodes statuebe removed.The Bremner Building houses the uni-

versity’s council offices. Price had previ-ously stated that the Rhodes statue is“indeed a symbol of UCT’s colonialpast”. “Many have noted that as it cur-rently stands, the statue of Rhodes is un-mediated by any critical commentary orhistorical contextualising. There is

nothing to suggest to any passerby howthe university situates itself in relationto Rhodes’ actions and their impact. Atthe very least, we need to engage withthat,” he says.Last week Price announced a process

of engagement on the matter of theRhodes statue that would allow for de-bate anddiscussion involvingall constit-uents at UCT, and that would culminatein a proposal by theExecutive toCouncilon Wednesday 15 April.“I can report that we have been in dis-

cussions with multiple stakeholders onthe matter of the statue. I have met withthe Senior Leadership Group (SLG) ofUCT, namely the deans, the executive di-rectors, the deputy vice-chancellors andthe directors of Institutional Planningand the Transformation Office,” Pricesays.He says he is now in a position to con-

firm that the proposal he earliermade inhis personal capacity – that the statue ofRhodes be removed from its current lo-cation – has been supported by all theseconstituencies.Price says the SLGmade this proposal

to the Convocation meeting on Tuesday7 April and culminating in the specialsitting of Council.“Wehavegone to great lengths to allow

a free exchange of ideas on the issue ofthe statue. I urge to remain respectfulof the views of those with whom we dif-fer,” he adds.

RIVER CLUB

R20m revampASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

The same team that “breathed newenergy” into projects like The OldBiscuit Mill and The Woodstock

Exchange have done it again.Jody Aufrichtig and Nick Ferguson

are the driving forces behind the re-vamped River Club.The revitalised old landmark build-

ing beside the Liesbeek River has beenrenovated to the tune of R20m.At first the owners thought they could

just paint and freshen up, but on closerinspection it became apparent that a to-tal revamp was needed.“The River Club has a wonderful his-

tory as a place where people came to re-lax, play sport and meet up. We are con-tinuing with this tradition but we aremaking it more accessible andmore funtoo,” Aufrichtig says.“Themajority of the capital spend has

been invested in renovating the eightconference rooms and introducingstate-of-the-art facilities, as well as up-grading the golf facilities to bring themup to a high standard for members andguests to enjoy,” he says.Adrian van Deventer, managing di-

rector of the club, says the property wasin disrepair, but the club always “hadso much potential , the owners want-ed to realise it and share it with peo-ple”.Construction began in May 2014 and

was completed in March 2015.“During construction and renovation

there were about 18 jobs created andnow that we are open, altogether 26 peo-ple are employed.“Creating these jobs, and providing a

fun and comfortable work environment

is very important to us,” he says.He says the club “has always served

the community of Observatory and be-yond” with the focus being on makingitmoreaccessible andofferinga reason-ably priced and popular restaurant onsite.“We have also ensured that the golf

club membership is affordable and hasaccess to both the driving range andMashie Club. There is also no contract.Membership comes with the added ben-efit of free use of the River Rascal’s KidsClub – a secure and supervised playspace for kids up until age 12,” he says.Van Deventer says day visitors are al-

ways welcome and there are some fan-tastic programmes for adults and kidsto learn golf.“The vision was to make the space

family-friendly, fun and affordable,” hesays.The club has started a new pro-

gramme, Starting New at Golf, that isrun by the Southern African Golf Insti-tute. VanDeventer says this is a funwayto get grips with the basics of golf. “Weare happy to say that we are seeing lotsof little golfers on the driving range,” hesays.He further says the club “is exception-

ally well situated” as it is near to thecity, southern suburbs and airport.He adds that the combination of a res-

taurant, conferencing and golf adds upto make it a hub of activity”.“The building is also a beautiful Cape

Town landmark with lots of history asa place for working, meeting and play-ing –not tomention itsnatural riversidesetting,” Van Deventer adds.V For more information visit www.riverclub.co.zaor email the River Club directly at info@riverclub.co.za.

A truly happy Easter from the Salvation ArmyThe attainment of happiness is one ofthe most fundamental of human desires.We all, at various points in our lives,want to feel that sense of well-being,satisfaction and contentment that wegenerally define as “happiness”.

The pursuit of happiness is such abasic human need that it was evenincluded in the 1776 American Declara-tion of Independence, on which theAmerican Constitution was built: “Wehold these truths to be self-evident, thatall men are created equal, that they areendowed by their creator with certainunalienable rights, that among these arelife, liberty and the pursuit of happi-ness.”

Recently, on 20 March, the worldcelebrated International Day of Happi-ness, only the third time that the UnitedNations has recognised the day as such.

But what is happiness? Many peopleequate happiness with material goods –a new car of a particularly aspirationalbrand, living in an upmarket suburb,sending their children to the bestschools, or wearing the latest fashion inclothes, shoes and handbags.

Others live a life of “If only…”, then“I would be happy”. So, if only I wasthin, I would be happy. Or, if only Icould look like so-and-so, I would behappy. Or, if only I could achievesuch-and-such, I would be happy.

And we do often discover moments ofhappiness through such pursuits. Butwe also often find that such happiness is

transitory and can be blown away in avery short time – leading us searchingfor the next moment of happiness, in anever-ending quest for satisfaction.

Such seeking after happiness isessentially materialistic. It can lead usinto a spiral of dissatisfaction that leadsto yet more searching for the illusivehappy moment. Or we can end up in astate of unmanageable debt as wefrantically spend our money on what wethink will make us happy.

Worse still, we are not immune fromthose aspects of life which tend to makeus unhappy – illness, rejection, failure,disappointment, exclusion, brokenrelationships. These states, which somewriters call “dark nights of the soul”,are usually beyond our control, and noamount of spending on material goods,or on gaining status, will protect usfrom them.

Christians believe that only a deepand meaningful relationship with Godwill help us find true and lastinghappiness. At Easter time, we rememberagain that Jesus died for our sins inorder that we may be reconciled to Godthrough his death on the cross and hisrising three days later from the dead asthe Christ.

Such a relationship with God will notmake us immune from these unhappy“dark nights”. God doesn’t cause theseevents in our lives, but God doessometimes speak to us through them,and, if we are open and trusting enough,

God can lead us to new truths aboutourselves, and ultimately, a deeper andmore permanent sense of happiness.

Jesus himself went through a time ofunhappiness, or a “dark night of thesoul”, when he was in the Garden ofGethsemane, shortly before he under-took his final journey through Jerusa-lem to the cross on which he wascrucified. Indeed, he prayed desperatelyto God, his Father, to remove this “cupof suffering” that he was about toexperience.

As a human being, Jesus knew thathis road to the cross was going to be anunhappy one; a time of loneliness,intense physical and mental pain andrejection.

Yet, he also knew that the end resultwas the glory of the resurrection, andthe re-establishment for all people, in allages and time, of a relationship withGod and the attainment of a true stateof happiness.

But don’t get me wrong: God does notcall us to live in a permanent state ofgloom and doom. Some of the happiestpeople I have ever met are filled withthe joy and energy of a living relation-ship with God.

So, on behalf of The Salvation Army, Iwould like to wish you all a truly“happy” Easter. May the risen LordJesus be with you all.

I’m glad it’s been well received. It’srare that people take the time towrite and say so. – Gavin Thomson,Cartoon Illustrator

A statue, a name, the mere reminder of a man longgone, still has the power to open old wounds.It can still polarise communities and spark out-

rage. The recent #RhodesMustFall campaign has high-lighted this, withUCT students lobbying for the remov-al of Cecil John Rhodes’ statue from the campus.Rhodes, after whom the Grahamstown university is

named, was a British colonialist, businessman,miningmagnate, and politician in South Africa who died in1902. Rhodesia, now known as Zimbabwe, was alsonamed after him.TheUCTsenatehasvoted overwhelmingly to remove

the statue from the campus and place it in the custodyof heritage authorities.Local schools have also been urged to move away

from apartheid naming, which divided more affluentschools into “high schools” and others as “secondaryschools”. Schools namedafter apartheid leaderswill al-so be given the option of renaming.If we take away every name, every image and every

statue – will it heal our wounds?Will our communities become less polarised?Will the removal of these colonialism and apartheid

reminders undo the damage of those dispensations?By allmeans redress the inequalities of the past, give

dignity to those who were not afforded it and heal thedeep wounds of degradation.But let’s not do that by forgetting our past.Let us remember those colonial and apartheid lead-

ers – not to honour them, but to ensure the inequalitiesof the past never happen again.We do not have to embrace the numerous statues, im-

ages and signs of these leaders, but we do have to teachour childrenwho they are andwhat they stood for. Thisis our history, and it is our responsibility to learn fromit no matter how unsavoury it may be.

EDITORIAL COMMENT:

History

What happened to our mail?By the sounds of it, postal workersare most likely going on strike again.

But can someone please tell mewhat happened to the mail I haveposted six months ago?

As pensioners we saved up to sendour son a gift voucher for his birth-day in September last year, as well asNew Year’s greeting cards to our

Jewish freinds in Johannesburg. Upto date, none of these have beenreceived.

Oh, and another thing that I forgotto mention: The gift voucher was sentby fast mail!

How’s that for postal servicedelivery?

In addition to learning about traditional music, dress andstorytelling, the students also sampled traditional food and played indigenous games.

• Residential Tariffs: Overall revenue increase from the group is 10.82%,but individual customers will likely see different values based on actualconsumption. The difference between the average and the actual increase arisesfrom the recovery of the shortfall of revenue from the Lifeline Block 1 rate.

• A consumer receiving 450kWh per month will see the same percentageincrease irrespective of which tariff they are on,meaning there is no change tothe level of subsidy received by these consumers on the Lifeline tariff.

• Free Basic Electricity: Lifeline tariff customers receiving less than 250kWhpermonthwill receive a free basic supply of 60kWh,with those receiving between 250kWh and450kWhpermonth receiving a free basic supply of 25kWhpermonth.

• The Residential SSEG tariff gains a second block aligned to the Domestic TariffBlock 2 to prevent customers installing exceptionally small generators andreceiving a large reduction in account without actually generating any electricity.

• Small Power User 1 with Off Peak combination will be restricted to existingcustomers only from 1 July 2012. The Off Peak components also increase by anabove average amount as a step in the phasing out of this tariff.

• Small Power User 1 tariff receives a slight structural adjustment in line with theCost of Supply study outcomes.

• Time of Use tariffs restructured to ensure the Medium Voltage tariff at minimumhas parity with EskomMegaflex.

• Commercial tariffs see a slightly above average increase as a result of therecovery of the subsidy provided for the Atlantis TOU tariff.

ARTSCAPE THEATRE

Three thumbsup for themLOUISA STEYL

@LouNotes

Gardens local and ballerina, ElizabethNienaber will be on stage at ArtscapeTheatre this weekend in Cape Town

City Ballet’s children’s production,Thumb-elina.Elizabeth will be sharing the role of

Thumbelina with Meghan Henegan fromClaremont and Cleo Ames from Ronde-bosch.Based on the enchanting fairy tale by

HansChristianAndersen,Thumbelina tellsthe story of the little princess and her jour-ney from being born in an acorn to marry-ing her handsome fairy prince, Cornelius.“I love that the story of Thumbelina is

about little people who make a big differ-ence in their lives,” she says, adding thatthe feeling of being small in a big world isone that people of all ages can identify with.“We can relate to longing and striving for

the wings of freedom, and of love, and mostimportantly of self acceptance.”Elizabeth adds that themessage of “dyna-

mite comes in small package” is carriedacross in choreographer, Robin Van Wyk’sinterpretation of this classic fairytale.“I’m sure the fact that I have always been

shorter than average has very little to dowithmystrongconnection to the story,” shejokes.

Five years laterAfter dancing with Ballet Theatre Afri-

kan and South African Ballet Theatre, Eliz-abeth joined Cape Town City Ballet in 2010.“Almost five years later I am still here, andvery happily so.”She’s beenhard atworkpreparingherself

both physically andmentally for her role asThumbelina. The role requires strength,flexibility and stamina, which means she’sputting in extra hours at the gym on top ofher daily classes and rehearsals.

She’s also been reading the original storyand watching different versions. “It is al-ways interesting to get different artistic in-terpretations of a classic fairy tale.” Eliza-beth says this has given her a better under-standing of Thumbelina and helped herdevelop a believable character.

Emotional connectionWhen she isn’t exploring Thumbelina,

she tries to listen to the music of the balletas often as possible. “It is so important asa dancer to have an emotional connectionto the music, and also to know the differentnuances held within it.”Elizabeth believes that the public in gen-

eral should be supporting local ballet bywatchingperformancesby local companies.“I think the notion or idea that ballet is

only for a very specific type of person needsto be eradicated,” she says, adding: “Classi-cal ballet is for all types of people, for all ushuman beings. Any one who wants to bemoved on an emotional, artistic, theatricallevel will enjoy classical ballet.”She says parents can get little ones excit-

ed by exposing them toballet as early as pos-sible. She encourages parents to take chil-dren to see different productions, to takethem to dance movement classes and to ex-pose them to classical music. She also sug-gests reading them their favourite storiesbefore showing them the classical produc-tion.“This colourful production has an entire

cast of different, delightful characters thatwill get their imaginations racing.”V Elizabeth, Cleo and Meghan will be on stage inThumbelina on Saturday 4 and Sunday 5 April. Tickets cost between R80 and R110 and are available fromComputicket or Artscape DialaSeat on 021 421 7695.

They are perfecting their routines anddoubling the stunts and with their eyeson the prize, Fish Hoek cheerleaders

are preparing for the national champion-ships.Under the guidance of coaches Sam Hogg

and Troy Fish, the two teams are workinghard to make their communities proud.Hogg explains the junior team consists of

female pupils from Fish Hoek PrimarySchool, while the high school team is co-edwith pupils from schools across the valley.She says the sport is relatively new in the

Western Cape, but is quite popular in Gaut-eng. Both coaches are qualified and regis-tered with the South African Majorette andCheerleading Association (Samca).“We saw a gap and decided to start in Fish

Hoek. It is such a fantastic sport which con-sists of various activities including dancing,tumbling and stunts,” says Hogg.Among the common misconceptions

about cheerleading are that the sport is nor-mally for “skinny girls”, but Hogg saysstronger girls are needed and children of allages have fun.Last year the team came first in the prov-

ince and went on to compete at the nationalchampionships where they came third.Now the teams are preparing once again

to compete with other provinces at the na-tional competition in July. But the trip for

45 peoplewill cost R75 000 and cheerleadersare spending all their free time trying toraise funds.With a variety of prize donations includ-

ing a portable floodlight, tattoo voucheramong other items they have started a raf-fle and have called on the community to as-sist. The tickets cost R20 each and can bebought at various shops or it can be boughtfromHogg (see contact details at endof arti-cle).There is also a grand prize for a weekend

break at a Beach View apartment in Muiz-enberg and sponsors who purchase five ormore tickets will be entered into a drawwhich takes place on Tuesday 9 June at19:30.Hogg explains the teams train twice a

week but as the competition nears, theyhave amped up training to three times aweek. But the teamwill also be working ontheir waitering skills as they take on shad-ow shifts at a Fish Hoek restaurant wherea portion of the sales go towards the fundsneeded for the trip.To date they have raised just under

R5 000 and will be conducting shadowshifts on Tuesday 28 April, Tuesday 19Mayand Tuesday 9 June.Hogg explains they are looking for busi-

nesses who can sponsor the team and in re-turn they are willing to place the business’name on the cheerleading jerseys.“Cheerleading is a very tough sport and

the children work very hard, we would re-

ally love to give them the opportunity tocompete at the national championships.Without support the children will not be

able to go to Bloemfontein,” she says.V If you would like to help, call Hogg on 072 587 9273or email [email protected].

Help them get to Bloemfontein

After weeks of intense discussions and closecollaboration with the City of Cape Townand key stakeholders, it was confirmed thatthe OldMutual Two Oceans UltraMarathon(OMTOM) on Saturday 4 April will runalong the detour route of OuKaapseWeg, or-ganisers said in a press release.“This isnot adecision thatwasmade light-

ly,” says Carol Vosloo, general manager ofthe Two Oceans Marathon NPC.“We are responsible for every single run-

ner on race day, so all decisions were madewith this in mind. The Ou Kaapse Weg de-tour route starts in Main Road, Newlands.The distance remains the same.Despite the route change, OldMutual’s R1

million bonus remains in place, rewardingthe winning male and female runners whorespectively breaks the 56 km Ultra Mara-thon record. The men’s record of 3:03:44 was

set in 1988 by road running legend Thomp-son Magawana, while Frith van der Merweset the women’s record a year later in 1989when she ran 3:30:36.
