CAMPS BAY: NEW PLAN TO STOP STREET CHILDREN ‘FALLING THROUGH CRACKS’

Saving lives from crimeNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

The Camps Bay Business Forum is deter-mined to assist the at-risk youth in thearea.

There is a new plan of action to help streetchildren in Clifton and Camps Bay.

Linked to aggressive begging, thefts andeven drug running, it is believed these chil-dren are being used by adult relatives tomake a living from crime.

Simon Kneel, a Camps Bay Business Fo-rum member who runs the organisation’svagrancy and social upliftment initiative,estimates between 12 and 15 children, whosleep at Glen Beach and surrounds, are atrisk.

In an attempt to find a lasting solution, theCamps Bay Street Children’s Forum hasbeen established to facilitate the involve-ment of all role players, Kneel says.

“We had been struggling to assist the chil-dren into care as we really needed more di-rect assistance from all role players, includ-ing the dedicated child care social workersemployed by the provincial Department ofSocial Development who, under the ChildCare Act, must be involved in the process ofremoving vulnerable children into care. Thepolice and organisations such as the HavenNight Shelter have limited powers to re-move or intervene, so it is very importantthat department social workers are involvedin and assist communities like ours withthese issues,” he says.

The forum is chaired by the Western CapeStreet Children’s Forum coordinator JaniceSparg.

She says most of the children have alleged-ly become involved in criminal activity,such as begging, bag and camera snatchingand even drug running. “We’ve found thatthe parents are sending these children outwith orders to bring back handbags and

cameras. It is taught behaviour, because theparents don’t know any other option. Thisoften means the children are missing school,which means there is even less hope of themgetting out of the cycle.”

Camps Bay Police Station commander

Captain Deliah Isaacs says they have re-ceived information regarding the criminalactivity and an investigation is underway.

“The information received is of a sensitivenature and at this stage of the investigationI cannot elaborate any further on the mat-

ter,” she says.While street children usually run away

from abuse, says Sparg, the children inCamps Bay seem to return to their familiesand do not appear to be severely mistreated.

Resurgent Villagers top Super League BLIAM MOSES

@LiamCPT

When Villager RFC decided to buck thetrend in Cape Town club rugby and stop pay-ing players, few thought South Africa’s sec-ond oldest club would ever return to itsformer glory.

The “Dirty Whites” had been relegatedfrom Super League A in 2012, after a disas-trous season. And by refusing to offer anycash, the club would have even less hope ofattracting or retaining the best playersavailable.

The downturn in form that followed wasinevitable. The Claremont club was out ofits depth – even in Super League B – and allthat saved Villager from another drop wasthe Western Province Rugby Union’s re-structuring of it’s club competitions.

Less than two years later, after appointingnew coaching staff, Villager are on courseto proving success is possible with an ama-teur team.

The club has succeeded in its goal of at-tracting players who play only for the loveof the game, including Ashley Clarke, aformer professional who says he grew up atBrookside.

“Last year I decided to see if I couldn’t helpout Villager and be part of getting the teamback into Super League A,” he says.

“I grew up kicking around a cold-drinkcan on the side of the field, while my dadplayed for the Old Crocs team.”

Clarke’s father, Bossie Clarke, is current-ly the club president, a former first teamplayer and legend of WP rugby.

While he has not achieved legendary sta-tus, the younger Clarke had his own glitter-ing career in the sport.

Clarke captained the Province under-19side to victory in 2001, has represented WP,South Western Districts and the Leopards atCurrie Cup level and spent four seasons atFrench Top 14 side Racing Metro.

But despite having reached the highestlevels of professionalism, Clarke believesclub rugby should remain amateur.

“It’s a good thing because the guys that wehave are all here for the right reasons,” hesays.

“When a player gets told that he isn’t inthe starting line-up, it’s always for a validreason. If there is someone younger and bet-ter – he will play. It’s an honest system. Noone plays just because they are gettingpaid.”

Clarke says the entire senior squad arehappier and closer as a result, and this hasresulted in a excellent start to the season.

Villager currently top Super League B,with four victories from four.

Current head coach Gunner Hughes haslead the team to victories over Macassar,Scottsdene, Young Peoples and Collegianslast Saturday.

Hughes says Clarke, the team captain, hasplayed an important role.

“He brings massive physicality and lots ofexperience. Those are his key attributes,” hesays.

“He is quite an influential player. He leadsfrom the front and the players feed off that.He has done very well and the guys have en-joyed having him as part of the team.”

Hughes says another important factor inthe club’s resurgence is recruiting playerswho, like Clarke, play purely because of pas-sion and desire to see the club succeed.

He adds the club’s staff of coaches, bioke-neticists, psychologists and doctors have allplayed an integral role.

Hughes’ side will now hope to rack up vic-tories in their 10 remaining games, startingwith Surrey Estate Rangers on Saturday.

Villager aim to return to the top flightwithin two seasons, but are currently ontrack to achieving the goal a year early.

Clarke is certain the goals are achievableand that amateurs can compete against CapeTown’s best.

“We have nothing to lose; there is no mon-ey to lose. The guys just want to prove thatthey can play,” he says.

“The whole club has bound together. Eve-ryone is in it for the same reason: to bringVillager back to its former glory.”

New direction for youngsters living on the streetsNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

The forum aims to get all the role playersinvolved, says Sparg, by encouraging thepublic to give responsibly, liaising withfieldworkers, community workers, policenon-profit organisations, shelters andgovernment departments.“These are the most vulnerable chil-

dren. They’ve fallen through all thecracks. We’re working to find a solutiontogether,” she says.The CampsBayBusiness Forumhas re-

ported an increase in street childrenmov-ing into the area, estimating between 30

and 40 children, aged between eight and17, entering the area to beg during touristseason.Two years ago, the business forum

started an initiative in Camps Bay andClifton in partnership with the HavenNight Shelter to assist street people.This initiative, funded by Camps Bay

businesses and residents, provides for afull-time dedicated auxiliary social work-er from the Haven Night Shelter to bebased on Camps Bay beachfront.This person is tasked with encouraging

street people to “start a new life” with thesupport of the shelter, Kneel says.The initiative has helped over 100 street

people since its inception.The influx of street children is usually

seasonal to capitalise on tourists visitingthe area in summer, Kneel says.Residents also often hinder attempts to

assist the children, he continues.“The situation also isn’t helped by the

response of many of the visitors and resi-dents who understandably feel compas-sion for the children’s situation and re-spond by giving them large handouts ofcash or food,” Kneel says.V To assist the forum, contact Simon Kneel at si­mon@campsbaybusinessforum.co.za or the West­ern Cape Street Children’s Forum at wcstreetch­ild@gmail.com or 072 450 0456.

CHARITY: SHOES TO SUSTAIN LIVELIHOODS

Putting their best foot forwardNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Giving a new life to old shoes is how theUnion of Jewish Women hopes to cre-ate change – locally and international-

ly.The Cape Town organisation has

launchedThese Shoes are made forWorking,a campaign to collect 25 000 pairs of wornshoes that will be repaired and resold bythose less fortunate to create a sustainablelivelihood.The campaign will run from May to July.All donated shoes will be redistributed to

microenterprise partners through the NPO

Funds2Orgs.Collected shoes are shipped to on-the-

ground business operators where theyclean, repair, or melt down the outer solesif necessary, to make a new pair of shoes,says Union of Jewish Women chairmanLeaza Cowan.“The shoes are used in developing coun-

tries for impoverished people to start, main-tain and grow a microenterprise business.Thanks to this opportunity, individuals areable to feed, clothe, and house their familiesthrough an income generation project,” shesays.Funds2Orgs partners with other NPO to

help create fundraising drives. After collect-ing used shoes, Funds2Orgs issues a checkfor the repurposed shoes, explains spokes-person Gretchen Parker.This allows the union to raise funds while

doing charity work, says Cowen.“The union is always looking for unique

ways to raise funds and engage the commu-nities of Cape Town. We enjoy and have ahistory of diversity both in the raising andin the distribution of funds.Whenwediscov-ered the Funds2Orgs Shoe Drive opportuni-ty, it resonated with this history and we em-braced it. It gives us a chance to raise fundsfroma sourcewehavenever tappedbyusingresourceswe have that are often over lookedand which provide the additional benefit ofrecycling used goods, whilst providing so-cially responsible training and empower-ment for those less fortunate than our-selves,” she says.The shoes are distributed to small busi-

ness inHaiti, Guatemala, Bolivia, Tanzania,Togo, Benin, Zambia, Botswana, Ghana andSenegal, explains Parker.Although Funds2Orgs does not currently

distribute to South Africa, Cowen hopestheir donation will encourage local ship-ments.“If the project is successful, we antici-

pate Funds2Org starting up the trainingand empowerment aspect in the WesternCape in the future andwehope inSouthAfri-

ca by next year,” she says.V Donations can be dropped off Monday to Friday be­

fore 14:00 at 7 Albany Road, Sea Point. For collection,call 021 434 9555 or email info@ujwcape.co.za.

Six suspectsnabbed forcar break­insSix suspects have been caught whilebreaking into vehicles in Green Pointafter swift responses from the GreenPoint City Improvement District, policeand the public.

Two suspects were nabbed on Sundaywhen the improvement district’s mo-bile unit noticed a broken window on aFord Bantam bakkie parked near thecorner of De Smidt and Waterkantstreets.

The pair was found in the vehicle witha camera and Cape Town Central policearrested the suspects.

On Thursday, a member of the publicstopped the improvement district pa-trol vehicle at 09:20 to report that twomen had broken into a white Jeep andstolen jumper cables and car speakers.The suspects ran away, but were caughtby improvement district officers inHigh Level Road.

They were arrested by Sea Point po-lice.

Later on Thursday morning, a case oftheft out of a vehicle was reported in thearea of Napier Street when three menbroke into a car and made off with a bagcontaining a wallet and documents.

With the help of security camera foot-age from the Haven Night Shelter, im-provement district staff were able toidentify two suspects, who were spottedin Riebeek and Bree streets by the im-provement district officers during asearch.

One suspect was apprehended and hepointed out a garbage bin where the sto-len wallet, containing bank cards, hadbeen stashed.

Cape Town Central police arrestedtwo men in connection with the case.

Improvement district chief executiveMarc Truss says: “I would like to com-mend our team members for their dedi-cation and thank members of the publicand police who are helping us to keepcrime levels down. We also want to ap-peal to all people living, working or vis-iting our area to report any suspiciousactivity or crime swiftly so we can fol-low up and help to have perpetratorsbrought to justice.”

NEW MASCOT: The City of Cape Town’s Metro Police has a new mascot to help spread the crime prevention message, while its two­leggedmembers continue to rack up the arrests. The feisty German Shepherd mascot, Sergeant K9, was introduced during a recent child safety event.Metro Police officers polled hundreds of young people at their Youth Academy camps to find a suitable name for the mascot, who will beon duty at departmental events across the metropole, including awareness and training sessions for young people. The department optedfor a German Shepherd because of its many admirable traits – including loyalty, intelligence, devotion, courage and a protective nature –but also because it can literally take a bite out of crime.

GARDENS: ACCESS CONTROL PLANNED

Parking pests bewareNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Motorists may soon have to contendwith access control as means of pre-venting Lower De Waal park turning

into a parking lot.The open ground, an extension of De Waal

Park, is regularly packed by motorists look-ing for a parking spot.

Now, a local organisation is calling forcouncil to stop the unauthorised parking.

Ward councillor Dave Bryant says the ar-ea falls between De Waal Park and the Low-er Molteno Reservoir.

“The area is known as Lower De WaalPark but is not formally managed in thesame way as the ‘Upper’ De Waal Park. Theparking tends to occur on verge on the Up-per Orange Street side, near to the flowersellers,” he says.

City Bowl Ratepayers’ Association chair-

person Patrick Labrosse says the illegalparking occurs daily off Upper OrangeStreet.

“This churns the grass, and invites any-one in the vicinity to treat the park as a carpark – which it is not,” he says.

Labrosse suspects that it is mostly resi-dents who are to blame, and a few localsworking nearby.

Access control in on the cards, but willhave to wait until funding is secured, Bry-ant says.

“Vehicular access control is being lookedat as an option on the 2015/16 ward alloca-tion budget as this will require the installa-tion of infrastructure. All other ward allo-cation funding was approved many monthsago. The real challenge revolves aroundtraffic enforcement and the legality of park-ing on this piece of space,” he says.

City of Cape Town Safety and Security ex-ecutive director Richard Bosman says: “Un-

fortunately, it is not possible for an officerto be stationed in the immediate area per-manently to discourage parking and a long-term solution is required, as has been sug-gested. However, Law Enforcement teamswill continue to carry out ad hoc operationsand take action against any motorists foundto be parking illegally.”

Mayoral Committee member for Commu-nity Services and Special Projects BelindaWalker says City Parks already has low bol-lards in place around this area and is look-ing at solutions to ensure closure.

“However, this is complicated by the factthat City of Cape Town vehicles need to beable to access the area for maintenancework. Parking has been allowed on concertdays, which is approved as part of the eventapplication process. Under normal circum-stances parking on this space is illegal andwe appeal to residents to please refrainfrom parking there,” she says.

LUCKY ELDOM loves the outdoors, so he is nottoo worried about no electricity and warm waterin winter. “I jog a lot, because you don't get toohot and it’s better than just staying at home.”

EVA RAUSCH labels herself as a friend to the envi­ronment and is not really perturbed by the Capewinter. “I have solar heating, boreholes and iso­boards to save electricity and to heat the house.”

CHRIS BRUINERS is a big fan of winter becausehe gets together with family and friends. “I switchoff the geyser and the TV when it’s not in useand I switch off the lights early.”

MIKE FINN finds it difficult to save electricity andwater in winter, but tries. “I use the washing ma­chine less, but I use the tumble dryer more. I turnoff the geyser and only switch when needed.”

CARYN KOCK is prepared for the cold fronts. “Iuse my gas stove, the gas heater and I light upmy fire place. I also switch off my geyser and Iuse my geyser blanket, which works wonders.”

BO-KAAP: KEEPING GENDER VIOLENCE IN CHECK

A safe havenNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

An organisationcommitted toeradicating gen-

der-based violenceaims to create a safehaven on the site ofone of the Bo-Kaap’smost notorious dere-lict buildings.The recently

launched NPO Schot-schekloof Womenagainst Gender-BasedViolence wants a safehouse for abusedwomen, andmembershave set their eyes on81 Dorp Street.Chairperson Sher-

een Habib says theNPO was formed togive women a voice.“Bo-Kaap is a very

close and religiouscultural community.If there are any prob-lems in the family, itis very difficult tospeak out. Our vision is to establish a sus-tainable safe house where women in thecommunitywould feel safe to come forwardwith any problems that are difficult to talkabout. We can then guide them in the rightdirection to access help,” she says.The organisation would like to partner

with existing community initiatives andhopes to start a community vegetable gar-den at the Dorp Street property, which iswaqf (intended for community use), Habibsays. The derelict house has been thesource of illegal dumping and an un-checked vagrancy issue.

For years, residentshave complainedabout the dumpingand vargants at theformer manor house,but due to a hitch in aland transfer, thebuilding has slippedfurther into disrepair.The building was

bricked up in 2012 toprevent it being usedas a shelter for thehomeless, but this hasproven futile (“Resi-dents’ homegroan”,People’s Post, 23 July2013) after vagrantsmanaged to create asmall entrance at theback.In 2011, the building

was listed on the Cityof Cape Town’s Prob-lem Building Unit’slist.The building is be-

lieved to be an old colo-nial manor house andis a heritage site (be-lieved to be 150 years

old), and the building will have to be re-stored according to the heritage status.Over the years, the property has changedhands numerously.Ward councillor Dave Bryant says the

property currently belongs to the Progres-sive Muslim Trust, for which there are nocontact details. However, the property is inthe process of being transferred to theBoorhanol Trust. This means they are notyet responsible for the property.Chairperson of the trust, Shahied Jacobs,

could not be reached for comment at thetime of going to print.

Online help for jobseekersA free new online resource is set tochange the landscape for post-qualifica-tion jobseekers.Called the World of Work, it was creat-

ed byThe Independent Institute ofEduca-tion (IIE). A statement says the site hasbeen designed specifically to help SouthAfrica’s graduates bridge the gap be-tween studies and work, and to assistthem toperformoptimallywhen enteringthe workplace for the first time.The site helps prospective and current

students, graduates and young workersnavigate the various aspects of preparingand searching for, as well as impressingin their first jobs.According to the statement, the re-

source is “available free to all of the coun-try’s young people, regardless of their ac-ademic affiliation”.IIE director Dr Felicity Coughlan says:

“It is not unusual for employers to decrythe ill-preparedness of young people forthe working world.“The World of Work seeks to address

the issues facing both jobseekers and em-ployers, by ensuring young people areprepared for the application and inter-view process, but also prepared to delivertheir best and display proper work ethicfrom the word go.”TheWorld of Work focuses on prepara-

tion, presentation, pay, impressing andpromotion.Preparation looks at issues of deciding

what to study, and doing the right thingswhile studying to bolster your post-studychances; presentation considers aspectssuch as CVs and the job application andinterview process; pay mulls issues suchas expectations versus opportunity, andbudgeting; impress looks at how to putyour best foot forward in your first job,while promotion assists in getting readyto take your career to the next level.

“The IIE places huge emphasis on thework-preparedness of our graduates, viaour work-integrated learning approach,as there is often a gap between graduateskills and attributes and employer expec-tations. Because we know young peopleneed all the help they can get, we decidedto broaden our offering to include onlineadvice, assistance and thought leader-ship from recruiters, academics andyoung people who have successfullymade the transition,” says Coughlan.“The job market in SA is highly com-

petitive, and it is not unusual for youngpeople to search for a long time beforelanding their first job.”In addition to receiving advice from re-

cruiters and employers about what theylook for whenmaking appointments, TheWorld of Work also shares advice andsuccess stories from students and job-hunters’ peers about how they madethings work, she says.Submissions from all were welcomed

and could be submitted via the “Shareyour experience” button on the website.“Additionally, if you have any burning

issues you want us to address, we wouldlove to hear from you,” she says.A decision was made to open access to

all young people, regardless of their aca-demic affiliation.“It is incumbent on both the public and

private sector to work together to im-prove the economic landscape of thecountry as a whole, and to improve thepreparedness of graduates for the work-place. We believe the common sense ad-vice and insights of The World of Workcould go someway tohelp all of SA’s grad-uates focus on the next steps.”V The World of Work is freely accessible atwww.theworldofwork.co.za, on Facebook at ht­tps://www.facebook.com/pages/The­World­of­Work/ and on twitter via @theworldofwork.

‘Ask the doctor’ about BipolarOver 1 million South Africans may haveBipolar Disorder, an illness that causesseveremood swings, frommanic highs todeep depression, and disproportionatesocial responses.Bipolar is a medical illness that needs

treatment and support – something thatmany South Africans can’t easily access.To address this health problem, the

Cape Town Central Bipolar SupportGroupwill be hosting a free Bipolar “Askthe Doctor” talk with guest speaker DrKim Ragsdale on the Monday 26 May at14:00 at the Cape Town Central Library.Helping patients understand their ill-

ness is key, including understandingwhat their diagnosis of Bipolar Disordermeans and what their treatment entailsas well as what medication they are tak-ing andwhy.Researchhas shown that pa-tient compliance occurs as a result of pa-

tients’ motivation, ability, and willing-ness to take and remain on treatment.The more difficult that treatment is, themost challenging it is to stick to and themore support the patient needs.BipolarDisorder affects approximately

2% of the population. Swinging betweendepressed moods, loss of interest in nor-mal activities, loss of energy, inability toconcentrate, and suicidal thoughts to ex-tremely elevated moods, feeling invinci-ble, decreased need for sleep, racingthoughts and speech, the change in moodcan be seen and felt by those around thesufferer.V The South African Depression and Anxiety Grouphas a toll­free helpline at 0800 70 80 90 to enablecallers to access expert advice, information andcounselling.

CITY BOWL: VENDORS TO HAVE THEIR SAY

Time to cash inNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

City vendors can look forward contribut-ing their input as a draft trading planfor the CBD opens for public participa-

tion.The trading plan looks to replace the cur-

rent outdated version inuse by taking cogni-sance of new trading opportunities as wellas snarls in spatial planning.There are concerns expressed that some of

the trading bays in locations that cause pe-destrian congestion, says Mayoral Commit-tee member for Economic, Environmentaland Spatial Planning Garreth Bloor.Ward councillor Dave Bryant says geo-

graphic changes in the city is prompting acloser look at informal trading.“Street traders’ spaces were last officially

allocated in 1997. TheCity today is a very dif-ferent place. Traffic has moved away fromAdderley and Darling streets and there aremore pedestrians,” he says.“The plan will look at ways to create new

spaces in theCityBowl for traders to dobusi-ness, as well as challenges they face such asstoring their goods.“We hope to increase opportunities for

traders and create an improved trading en-vironment, where pedestrians feel safer andwhich attracts more customers. We want tostart improving the trading experience fortraders,” Bryant says.Some of the challenges faced by vendors

include sites which are exposed to the ele-ments as well as crime and high rent (“Trad-ing places”, People’s Post, 16 August).Mustafa Mohamed, who trades on Adder-

ley Street, says he pays R250 a month. Forthis amount, he receives the spacedemarcat-ed within yellow lines on the pavement. Hethen has to provide his stall and shading.He would like to the City to consider an-

other kind of stall, which will give tradersmore security. “It would be nice to havesomewhere we could close up and leave,something with shutters or a room that youcould close up at night. Now, I pay rent fora yellow line and I have to pay a person whopushes my trolley,” he says.A different kind of stall would also keep

his stock dry in winter.“In winter when it rains we have to use

plastic sheets to cover our stall, and some-times it gets torn and leaks,”Mohamed says.The public participation process, due to

begin in three to four weeks, will considerall stakeholders’ inputs and concerns, Bloorsays.“Once the public participation process

has concluded, all of the inputwill be consid-ered by the City’s Economic DevelopmentDepartment and with the affected City linedepartments; whereafter a report will besubmitted to the Subcouncil to make recom-mendations to the Mayoral Committee andCouncil. I am anticipating that this willserve before the Subcouncil in July or Au-gust,” he says.

Economic Development and TourismAlan Winde visited one of the estab-lishments on the list, the 2inn1 Ken-sington in Gardens, on Tuesday 20May.The Akademie Street Boutique Ho-

tel andGuesthouse in Franschhoek al-so earned a spot on the prestigious list,both based on reviews from interna-tional visitors.Winde says: “These establishments

have set the standard for service excel-lence. The winners also garnered in-ternational exposure for their own es-tablishments and for the destinationas a whole. They serve as an inspira-tion to the industry.”This is the latest in a string of acco-

lades earned by the province’s tour-ism industry in the past year. CapeTown has been ranked as the top cityto visit in 2014 by the New York Timesand the city was ranked as one of themust-visit destinations in LonelyPlanet’s Best in Travel – Top 10 Cities.Winde adds: “These awards garner

international attention for our desti-nation. I am confident they encouragemore international visitors to travelhere, especially given the prestige ofthe publications involved. In 2012, in-ternational visitors spent over R18bnduring their stays in the WesternCape. As one of our biggest employers,it’s important that we grow this sectorand ensure tourists have more rea-sons to visit the Western Cape.”

RELIGION: SYMBOLIC DEMARCATION DEBATE

Border taking shapeNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

A set of guidelines governing the estab-lishment of a religious boundary havebeenpublished for the consideration of

the Good Hope Subcouncil.The symbolic demarcation, called aneruv,

currently encompasses areas of Sea Point.In the orthodox Jewish faith, carrying or

pushing items for a private space into a pub-lic space is forbidden on the Sabbath.This makes many daily tasks, such as car-

rying keys or a prayer book or pushing apram, difficult for orthodox Jews to carryout.The eruv is a solution to this.Borrowing from the concept of old walled-

in cities, a “wall” is erected around a neigh-bourhood to create a private space. In thisspace, Jews are allowed to carry or push cer-tain objects on the Sabbath.The drafted guidelines call for only nylon

rope or existing structures to be used to theestablishment of an eruv, to ensure lowvisu-al impact.The eruv is not made of brick and mortar

but is rather symbolic and made up of a se-ries of linkages in the form of two poles withwire spun across them, often where electric-ity or telephone poles already exist. It alsouses the walls of houses and, in the case ofSea Point, themountain to create the bound-ary.The eruvmust also avoid the seaward side

of a scenic drive and will be maintained bythe Union of Orthodox Synagogues.Extensive public participation will have

to be followed before an eruv can be erected,including consultation with ratepayers’ as-sociations and the subcouncil. This will re-quire amotion to bemade for the design and

location of the eruv.Last year, representatives of the othodox

Jewish community requested the religiousdemarcation include Clifton (“Objection toBoundary”, People’s Post, 16 July).However, not all residents havewelcomed

the idea.Speaking on behalf of a number of Clifton

residents, Soren Elvin-Jensen sent a letterto mayor Patricia de Lille asking that theeruv not be extended into Clifton andCampsBay.

Elvin-Jensen argues that society has a sec-ular approach to all spheres of life, and creat-ing an eruvwould violate this and set a prec-edent.Elvin-Jensen also raised concerns over

the impact of erecting a structure over thescenic drive.Alan Lavine, spokesperson for the Eruv

Committee affiliated to the Union of Ortho-dox Synagogues, says the organisation willissue a response aftermeeting to discuss thedrafted guidelines.

Keeping your spending in checkAre you keen to make your moneystretch but unsure how?

Make four simple changes to theway you spend. It’s as easy as that,says Eunice Sibiya, the head of con-sumer education at a national bank-ing group in a statement.

Four of the worst spending habitsresulting in colossal financial head-aches are shopping without a planor budget, making small daily pur-chases, not keeping track of the in-terest rate on money borrowed andlazy spending, Sibiya says.

Shopping without a planA quick trip to the stores is a ma-

jor pitfall.Even if you go into a store with the

best of intentions, such as going topay your store card, shoppers are of-ten led astray and end up buyingsomething as you leave, Sibiya says.

“How often do you decide to popinto a mall or shop during yourlunch hour or on the weekend with-out intending on buying anythingand coming away with armfuls ofnew clothes, shoes or even a nicecake from a bakery?”

The best thing to do is to avoid go-ing to the shops in the first place,she insists.

“Unless there is a very specificthing that you need and it is writtendown, don’t venture into a store.

And if you tend to spend your week-ends at malls, try finding anotheroption that is healthier for your wal-let and your family, like a picnic inthe park or visiting friends. Try payfor your store card through an elec-tronic transfer, which will stop thetemptation of unplanned buying.”

Small purchases make a big differ-ence

A take-away cappuccino andlunch daily might not seem like abig expense at that moment, costingaround R50, but regular indulgenceof this will be your ruin.

“These small daily purchasesquickly accumulate. An averageworking month has 22 workingdays, so R50 for each of these dayswill amount to R1100, without youeven realising it,” she says. “If youare more careful about spending onthe everyday items, you will quick-ly find that you have more cash atthe end of the month, without evenreally trying.”

Debt interest rateDo you know the current interest

rate on each of the cards in yourwallet? The answer is most likelynot.

“If you don’t know how much youare paying to borrow money, how

can you be expected to keep controlof it?” says Sibiya. “Once you under-stand how much your debt is cost-ing you, you can start working to-wards paying off some of these debtsfaster. Once one card is paid off,don’t be tempted to spend on itagain.”

Lazy spendingThis is a huge financial curse.Almost everything that you spend

on has an alternative that may bemore cost effective and just as good.Everything from discounts onschool fees if you have more thanone child in school, to reviewing in-surance policies, to what commonhousehold items you purchase eachweek.

“Spending wisely and saving isnot unachievable, but what it doesrequire is time and patience. Mostpeople end up making bad spendingchoices, just because they haven’ttaken the time to consider an alter-native,” Sibiya adds.

There are so many smarter spend-ing alternatives. However, it re-quires time and discipline to gothrough the different options. “Lazyspending is one of the worst habitsto get into, and if not curbed, it maylead to debt spiral. Instead, be finan-cially smart, take action and startspending sensibly.”

DISABILITIES: HELPING HAND FOR PARENTS

UnlockingpotentialJODY FORTUIN

@JodyF13

Parents struggling to copewith providing their disa-bled child with an improved

quality of life, need not despair.There is help.

Uhambo Foundation, foundedin 2010, is an NPO with the mis-sion statement of supporting therights and equal participation ofpeople with disabilities in com-munities.

The NPO considers itself afierce proponent of equality forall, and strives to create and assistin the social development of chil-dren with disabilities.

Lorraine Frost is the founda-tion’s general manager and saysthat cutting through all the stressof running the organisation andpromoting their message, the joyof a disabled child accessing its

potential makes it worthwhile.“We are helping 700 children

from informal settlements tolearn how to speak, play and justbe active,” she says.

“It is a blessing seeing a childnot knowing how to talk the oneday, to counting and singingsongs after six months. I can’t de-scribe the feeling.”

Uhambo Foundation has estab-lished partnerships with the Cityof Cape Town, NPOs and privatesectors to develop appropriateand safe wheelchair provisionand community-based servicesand training.

“We try our best to create op-portunities for people with disa-bilities in less-resourced settingsby building an inclusive society,without barriers for all,” saysFrost.

The foundation raises ongoingfinancial resources from local

and internationalfunders to ensuresustainable out-comes of the UhamboFoundation’s objec-tives.

They actively par-ticipate in local andinternational policydevelopment, policyimplementation pro-grammes and in ad-vocacy and raisingawareness.

Uhambo Founda-tion hosts disabilityfocus groups, thera-py sessions andclasses that teachparents how to playwith their childrenwith disabilities tostimulate the chil-dren’s development.

The foundation al-

so has Day Care Disability Sup-port programmes and the Ndinog-ona “I can” stimulation pro-gramme for children withdisabilities.

The Ndinogona “I can” stimula-tion programme involves the useof play and it assists carers to playwith and stimulate children withdisabilities, allowing them to par-ticipate in everyday activities.

The Ndinogona Stimulation Kitalso improves the children’s re-sponsiveness, reduces sensoryand behavioural problems.

There are only three perma-nent workers at Uhambo Founda-tion.

Nobuntu Ngcoyi, who works inthe community development sec-tion of the foundation, takes careof all the community outreachprogrammes including disabilityfocus groups and support groupsfor families.

Ngcoyi says: “In my culture,disability is associated withwitchcraft, so parents are afraidof taking their children out of thehouse.

“We encourage them to meet

other parents who suffer with thesimilar fear which makes it easyfor them, because they don’t feelalone and ashamed anymore,”she says.

The Uhambo Foundation helpschildren with disabilities findschools that are more suitable fortheir needs.

They also create job opportuni-ties for the older children.

The training courses hosted bythe foundation comes in differentforms.

They train care givers to helpthe children with physical treat-ment, they train the parents howto work with their children’s con-dition and they help find thecause and how to improve physi-cally and mentally.

Rochelle van der Walt, the mainfacilitator and trainer, says: “Iwork on stimulating the childrenon a one-on-one basis, because itis important to give them yourfull attention.

“I was a teacher at a main-stream school, but ever since Iworked with children with disa-bilities I gravitated to people with

special needs and that’s what I donow.”

The most important trainingthe Uhambo Foundation does istrain the care givers, family mem-bers and health workers regard-ing the care, management and re-habilitation of children with disa-bilities to ensure the preventionof secondary health complica-tions.

“If a child does not have theright wheelchair, then he/shecan’t do the programme, that iswhy we use the Madiba Buggy,”Frost says.

The Madiba Modular PosturalSeating Device (Madiba Buggy) isdesigned and made by Shonaquip.

It provides full body support forpeople with severe disabilities.

The disability equipment andtraining organisation has experttherapy teams that make sure theindividual is comfortable and cor-rectly seated in wheelchairs andother body support devices.V For more information on UhamboFoundation call Lorraine Frost on(021) 797 8239 or go to www.uhambo­foundation.org.za.

GARDENS: COMPANY’S INTERNATIONAL SCOOP

Designing thebig pictureNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

A local design company is bringing sci-ence alive through interactive tech-nology.

Gardens-based Formula D Interactive re-cently won a lucrative contract to create anexhibition in the Patricia and Phillip FrostMuseum of Science in Miami, Florida, inthe US.The exhibitionwill transform 18mofwall

into an interactive space, representing theGulf Stream.The Gulf Stream is a warm and swift

ocean current originating at the tip of Flori-da and affecting all ecosystems in the state.The unique project pushes the bounda-

ries of interactive design and technical re-alisation in museum environments, saysForumal D CEO Michael Wolf.“We hope that our work in Florida will

help the local design industry to get morevisibility internationally,” he says.The exhibit is part of the museum’s “liv-

ing core”, which boasts an aquarium andviewing window.Theprojectwill see a video projected onto

the wall to represent the flowing current.Six cameraswill track themovement ofmu-seum visitors and intergrate their move-ments into the projection.For instance, if a visitor approaches a

school of fish projected against thewall, theschool will disperse, Wolf explains.The design includes six to eight projec-

tors, with a speaker embedded in everyme-

tre of the wall to create realistic sounds,Wolf says.“Everything responds to your position in

the space. The animations are fully dynam-ic, so no movement is repeated,” he says.“Our core competence is design and instal-lation, so we needed to bring some partnerson board to assist with the animation andsound.”This South African partnership beat 15

competitor firms from theUS, Canada, Ger-many and Australia. The project will becompleted in 2015.In museums, as in other areas of life,

there is a drive to interactive design, saysWolf.“It’s all about story telling. Digital media

has huge potential for storytelling and ismuch more engaging than other forms,” hesays.The company has created numerous in-

stallations locally, but not on the scale ofthis project.While touch screens are notwidely acces-

sible or available, exhibits present a unqiueopportunity to introduce technology to peo-ple not usually exposed to it.“Not everyone has used a touch screen

but there are school groups coming throughmuseums daily and that presents an oppor-tunity to introduce the technology to them.Touch screen technology is very instinctiveand it proves almost anyone can use thetechnology once exposed to it,” he says. “It’sour bread and butter to do smaller exhibitsand we’re proud to do local work. So manystories need to be told in South Africa.”

WRITE TO US |email | fax | post

The fanfare for some political parties – and dejected facesfor others – are now a thing of the recent past with theelection figures in and accounted for.

Voters have made every X count and the onus is nowon political parties to make good on those pre-electionpromises.

It has been a frenzied affair to bombard the media withall the (supposedly good) works of councillors all over themetropole.

The rush job to promote councillors and punt everyounce of free publicity should be an Olympic sport, sobusy were the media houses churning out the chaff.

But it bears remembering that what happens after theelection is what counts.

There is enough work waiting for councillors – fromthe most humble of the smallest wards to the premier ofthis beautiful province.

And, unfortunately, there is nothingnew in this regard.On any given day the media is carpet-bombed with a

legion of complaints – fromwater pipes bursting to schoolbuildings indireneedof repairs, crimeandviolence, drugaddiction and peddling, and the clear shout for housing.Intermingled in this are the protest actions of those whohavehad enoughof begging andbeingplacatedby the self-same publicity reports that hit the repeat button whenresponding to the calls for improved housing, medical fa-cilities and education.

Taking public office is not a job for the faint-heartedand now is not the time to shirk responsibilities.

Fixing this province and all the additional problemswhich creep up unexpectedly is going to take a healthydose of planning, long hours at the office and outcomesthat keep most people happy most of the time.

It is, one imagines, a pretty thankless job because justas one problem is solved another crops up.

Wehope government – local andnational – canput theirpolitical differences and personality clashes aside for thegood of the people who voted for them.

Criminals out to destroyI strongly suggest reporters who write arti-cles about criminals should rethink theirempathetic tone. I am not suggesting an in-humanapproach.However, very oftenwhenwe read of active criminals who are injuredor killed by other criminals, the media in-sists on interviewing his relatives who thenexplain what a kind and wonderful personthe criminal was. The media report oftengives one the impression some journalistsdo not fully realise the negative role crimi-nals have in the overall destruction of theSouth African society.

For example, we all know there are mil-lions of South Africans directly affected bythe plague of drugs.

Drug addicts destroy the social, economicand mental fabric of our society. Sympathyheld for those afflicted by addiction shouldbe earmarked for the families and victimsof crime such as rape and murder. Sympa-thising with an injured or murdered drugdealer, drug mule or a drug addict is coun-terproductive as itmakes the efforts of those

working against drug addiction look sense-less.

Journalists should recognise the impor-tant role they play in providing leadershipto our broader society.

Drug addicts do it for the high while drugdealers and mules do it for the easy money.They are not heroes, but people who wantto destroy our communities.

Perhaps reporters who write about drug-related issues should spend more time withelderly parents who are robbed by theirdrug-addicted children instead of trying togenerate empathy for drug addicts, dealersand mules.

Let our society not lose sight of who ouradversaries are and the real threat they rep-resent to our collective well-being.YAGYAH ADAMS,EmailThe role of the media is to present all sidesof any story and to remain impartial. Thereader must make up their own minds aboutany matter. – News Ed.

Canvassing for voteinvasion of privacyI got this SMS tomy cellphone on voting day(translated from Afrikaans) at 17:42 from0872405158: “Just two hours before the vot-ing polls close. TheWestern Cape is head-to-head and the DA needs every vote. Go voteand keep the Western Cape DA!”

The same day I also got a phone call froma DA call centre operator reminding me tovote for the DA. I asked where the DA gotmy cellphone number from (it is a privatenumber) and she said from the (IndependentElectoral Commission) IEC voter’s roll.

How is this possible? Isn’t there a cut-offtime for campaigning? I would like to knowwhat the IEC has to say about this as I didnot give anyone in theDAmynumberorper-mission to canvass for my vote.

This is an invasion of my privacy.NAME WITHHELD,EmailThis letter has been sent to the IEC for com-ment and none has been received at the timeof going to print. – News Ed.

Caught in the trap of addictionMore and more people are addicted tosome form of substance or activity. Itrules their lives; it becomes the centre oftheir thought process and actions. Theseaddictions often destroy them and thosepeople around them, like family andfriends.

Today many people say these peoplehave a disease. The human heart has aninverse capacity to lust, then to turn any-thing desirable into an irresistible addic-tion. Today people are addicted to alcohol,drugs, gambling, sex and even sport.

The addiction enslaves the person insuch a way that he believes he cannot dowithout that to which he is addicted.Sometimes even when a person becomessick, he does not leave the addiction. Takesmoking for example.

The person is told by the doctor to stop,but he just continues until he dies of can-cer. The more the person indulges, themore he is enslaved by the addiction. Thecontrol of the addiction becomes so severe

that the person becomes irrational. Theytotally disregard the consequences ofwhat the addiction can do to them. Maybethe original activity was harmless in thebeginning, but then it started to take con-trol of the person’s life.

Let us take alcohol, for example. In thebeginning it started out just drinking ata social event. Then the person starteddrinking just weekends, and then eventu-ally, being enslaved, must drink more of-ten.

In some cases daily. Same goes fordrugs, the human heart craves pleasure,and pretty soon the enslavement starts.What began as enjoyment, has now be-come a need you cannot go without.

A man is driven by his own lust. Thisperson will fuel his addiction, and he willbelieve he has no choice but what he doesnot know, the more he indulges, the morehe becomes addicted.

He cannot see his world is falling apart,and he can do nothing about it. The addict

has told himself lies until he believes it,he believes whatever he’s doing is harm-less.Hewill lie, cheat andeven sayhe feelslike taking his own life to get people to feelsorry for them.

Through this, he tries to get sympathyfor his addiction, until he stops lying andbecomes honest about his addiction, therewill be no way he could be helped. He willsayhe can stopat any time; this isnot true.According to his thoughts, he is a goodperson who does bad things occasionally.He might even tell people his addiction ishereditary, and that his parents had thisproblem before him. The addict believeswithin himself that he cannot help him-self.

This a lie out of hell. When the situationbecomes out of control, he lies, cheats,steals, bluffs and, when confronted, be-comesaggressive. This is not in all the cas-es. Pray for them.ARTHUR PILLAY,Email

A Noble moment with IritSERGIO BEN

@sergiohenryben

So the world is going bonkers. Big deal.The best way to cling to reality like adesperate housewife on the brink of di-

vorce is to make friends with crazy people.Playing catch-up with long-time friend

and role model, Irit Noble, and in true geek-boy style, couldn’t wait to spread the newsof his hero finally taking to the stage afterso many years of absence.The must-see show for June is Irit Noble

in Cabaret. It is her new solo show and afterseeingwhat’s around the corner on the otherside of this mad thing called Life she’s gota message you ought to hear.There are very few things about Irit that’s

sedate. Very few. Like frantic shopper fear-ing the last size six to be taken at a shoe sale,Irit hurls herself through the cafe’s door,periscope neck freakishly whirring at 360°.I’m not that hard to miss.A loud “Psst! Irit!” later, one of the most

enjoyable talents the Mother City has to of-fer is babbling away.It’s a pleasant ramble, truly.At first I only caught and understood eve-

ry third word.Something about the horror of Long Street

parking, her cellphone joining the trade un-ion dispute and only works when certainconditions aremet, and this and that andget-ting lost.Yes, well, me and being lost (in transla-

tion; now and again in life; of direction)aren’t strangers. And neither is Irit.She is the original comeback kid. And she

doesn’t mind it mentioned (tediously so) inher shows’ reviews.“I’ve been through grind, darling. You

know this,” she beams, sipping soul-replen-

ishing wine and humming her gratitude.The panic of peak hour Long Street gone. Ina poof of glitter, you need only look closely.She’s a fly-at-the-seat-of-my-pants kinda

gal, adept at comedy, bawdy cabaret, chat-ting to complete strangers to hear their sto-ry, doing yoga-style wrestling with the crap-py set of cards life deals us all, queenmotherto the city’s gay community... Youknow, oneof those off-centre white women.Well, this one gets a prompt from her gut

now and again to assert her presence onstage.

“As I do everything else, this was an im-pulse... a really strong one,” she says, dem-onstrating a weird slo-mo tantric-style up-percut. I think, the lentil-loving-aum-be-kind-to-pebbles-and-rocks view of life is notreally my thing.“The inspiration came frommy foster sis-

ter in Joburg... of all places!”“It’s gonna be simple. No flash. No bang.

I’m going to let the words be the jewels.”It’s a stern departure from the Irit the

masses adore.Previous shows were profusions of pink

and glitter and veils of luxurious songs feed-ing something deep inside.“The new show is a blank canvas. I’m gon-

na do what the *beep* I want.”That’s the other thing about her, the dirty

words.One certainty she reveals is that the spirit

of Prince (and not The Artist FormerlyKnown as Prince) will be present.“That old Prince...the sound has retro-

tech feel. You know what I mean?“I’ll also do some of my old material. I

don’t want the stress of doing entire newma-terial,” she says, followed by gulps of calm-ing measure of white wine.To Irit, the fulcrum of her career success

is her brutal introspection. Face it, beinghonest with ourselves is hardly pleasant.Yet, climbing back up from rock bottom topeeking over the rim of the pit, is admirable– even if you don’t believe in the hug-a-tree-and-invite-baboons-for-tea view of life.“Cope? Oh honey, I don’t cope. At all.”This from a woman often MCing nerve-

shredding corporate events.“I try not to take things so personally,” she

says, abrief pout ofworryat thediminishingvino. I learnt this from a Korean boy I meton the internet,” and what follows is quiteinappropriate to describe, but it’s hysteri-cally funny.Best you find her on FB and ask.So, 46-years-old and has a thing or two to

tell about life, madness, love, disappoint-ment. And after being on stage, on her last,on her own, and on the edge of reason, Iritis very free in dishing out her anti-biotic forthe soul, 60 to Shine – billed as best secs (pro-nounced as sex) of your life!Dare to miss Irit Noble in Cabaret. You’ll

learn something and it’s guaranteed to befabulous.

Violets wilt againstManenberg RangersLIAM MOSES

@LiamCPT

Violets RFC will look to return to winningways on Saturday after suffering their sec-ond loss of the season last weekend.The Chucker Road club are second on the

Super League C table and already look likecontenders for the title.However, if Violets are to take the league

and earn promotion to SuperLeagueB, theywill need to be more consistent.Violets kicked off the season with a 14-20

loss away to Observatory’s Silvertree, beatStrand 21-15 at home, thrashed Van der Stel52-21 away, beat Northerns 19-3 at home,thumped Eerste River 51-15 at home andslumped to a 6-8 loss away to ManenbergRangers last Saturday.Victory against Rangers would have seen

Violets on top of the standings, but Langacurrently lead the standings, one pointahead on 21. They will travel to face fifth-placed Strand United in Strand this week-end and, with Langa on a bye, a victory willsee Violets top the table temporarily. Mean-while, Manenberg Rangers will travel toSomerset West to face Raithby Universalsbuoyed by their victory against one of thefront runners.The narrow win against Violets was

Rangers’ first in five attempts this season,having suffered defeats to Franschoek Unit-ed, Silvertree, Langa and Strand in previ-

ous games.In Raithby, the Manenberg side face one

of just two sides in the tournament with aperfect record.Universals racked up large scores in vic-

tories against Van der Stel, Strand United,Elsies River and Stellenbosch Coronations,and currently hold third place on the tablewith 19 points in the bag.Rangers will have put in anothermassive

performance to turn over this Super LeagueC heavyweight.Seventh-placed Silvertree have a much

easier fixture in store and should be expect-ed to win.After the win against Violets, Silvertree

went on to beat Manenberg Rangers, lose toStellenbosch Coronations, lose to StrandUnited, beat Bonteheuwel’s Silverleaf andlose to Elsies River United last Saturday.Thisweekend theyhostEersteRiverRFC,

whoare 13th on the table after a solitarywinin five matches.Silvertree should heap more misery on

the visitors and win the game comfortably.The match will take place at Malta Park

in Observatory at 15:30.In other club rugby fixtures on Saturday,

UCT will host Durbanville-Belville at theGreen Mile in Super League A, while in Su-per League B Collegians will host Handsand Heart in Lentegeur and Villager wel-comeSurreyEstateRangers toBrookside inClaremont.

Log leaders slip upLIAM MOSES

@LiamCPT

TheMrPriceHighSchools’ League top threeare rueing their missed opportunities afterdropping points in last weekend’s fixtures.Beacon Hill High School went into Satur-

day’smatches leading the log onnine points,ahead of second-placed Portland High ongoal difference and with defending champi-ons Mondale in third on six points.All three sides played to draws on Satur-

day, with the top two missing the chance toopen a gap at the top of the standings andMondale butchering an opportunity to closethe gap on the leaders.Beacon Hill drew 1-1 with Oval North

High, while Portland’s match against Bel-gravia was deadlocked at 2-2 and Mondaledrew 1-1 against Aloe High.The results mean all three sides maintain

their log positions, with Beacon Hill andPortland on 10 points andMondale on seven.Saturday’s results had a larger impact on

the middle of the table, with several sidesshifting upwards and Cloetesville, Tafelsigand Cedar now level on points with Mon-

dale. Cloetesville beat Strandfontein 4-1 toclimb from fifth to fourth and Tafelsig leaptfrom 10th to fifth with a 3-1 win over Glen-dale, who dropped to seventh.Cedar now occupy sixth place thanks to a

1-0 win over Spine Road.The other results had little effect on the ta-

ble, with Lentegeur dropping from sixth toninth andRocklandsmaintaining 13th placeafter a the sides drew 1-all.Westridge and Princeton stayed in 14th

and 15th places respectively after drawing2-2.The league will continue on Saturday, but

the status quo at the top of the tablewill like-ly be unchanged with the top teams all ex-pected to pick up wins against lesser opposi-tion. However, the scrap for third place willheat up as Mondale plays fifth-placed Tafel-sig and fourth-placedCloetesville play sixth-placed Cedar.V Fixtures for Saturday 24 May: (09:00) Tafelsig vsMondale; Portland vs Westridge; Princeton High vsStrandfontein High; Belgravia High vs Lentegeur High;(10:15) Cloetesville High vs Cedar High; Spine Road vsGlendale High; Oval North vs Aloe High; and BeaconHill vs Rocklands High.
