In an attempt to flush out the grime at publictoilets, more than R1,2m will be used to up-grade ablution facilities across the CityBowl and Atlantic Seaboard.

However, some have called for the moneyto go towards more public ablution facilitiestoilets in the CBD.

The upgrade will see R500 000 go towardsthe Hout Street Bath House, which will re-ceive a new coat of paint, repairs to the roof,gutters and downpipes, tiling of the showercubicles and new geysers.

The Kloofnek Public Toilet will receive acoat of paint, roof repairs and a plumbingoverhaul worth R210 000.

A further R300 000 will be spent renovat-

ing the Castle Bridge toilets, R150 000 to theStrand Concourse toilets and R50 000 to theCamps Bay Pump Station toilets.

Resident Gavin Govender says finding atoilet in the CBD can be pricey.

“There is definitely a need for more publictoilets in the City Bowl. Most people end upusing toilets at malls, where you have to pay.Not everyone can afford this,” he says.

The Central City Improvement District(CCID) supports upgrades and the buildingof new facilities, says chief operating officerTasso Evangelinos.

“The CCID is very encouraged that theCity is looking at renovating and possiblyexpanding public amenities for the CentralCity and we would support such a strategyin making our CBD a world class venue,” hesays.

The toilets are available to the generalpublic, informal traders and walking clubsat no charge, says Mayoral Committee mem-ber for Community Services Belinda Walk-er.

There are 12 public toilet facilities in thecentral CBD and a further 16 toilet facilitieson the Atlantic Seaboard.

However, there are no plans to increasethe number of toilets, Walker says, althoughseveral upgrades will be carried out over thenext few months.

Resident Joseph Gumbo feels the moneycould be better spent on community welfareprojects instead of the renovations.

“It’s not a good use of money. The moneyshould rather go toward housing or infra-structure. The money is being misused, andthe City is not prioritising,” he says.

Ward councillor Dave Bryant says the ma-jority of funds go towards cleaning andmaintaining public toilets.

He would like to see a project that reducesthe amount of staff needed to clean the toi-lets.

“We’re looking at possible alternative ide-as that would not require staff, which is ourbiggest cost. We’re looking at creative solu-tions, and the concept has been very success-ful overseas,” he says.

Bryant declined to elaborate the project’sdetails.

Toilets are currently maintained by Ex-panded Public Works Programme staff,Walker says.

“They are based at all of the public toilets.The costs differ per facility according toneeds,” she says.

Visitors to the Sea Point Pavilion willsoon feel connected to more than justnature.FreeWiFiwill be installed at the tour-

ist destination from next month.Cycle tour company Upcycles, based

at the pavilion, partneredwithConnect-ed Space to get the project of the ground,bringing a sponsor on board to fund theinstallation and management.Free WiFi improves the living stand-

ard of the community, says Nadine Het-reed, spokesperson for ConnectedSpace.“Providing accessible and affordable

or free internet is very important asWi-Fi is a critical component of service de-livery andhas the ability to raise the liv-ing standards of residents. In short, itcreates opportunity for not only peoplebut for development,” she says.TheWiFi zonealsodrawsvisitors,He-

treed continues.“The freeWiFi attracts people and the

more people that come to the area, thebigger the need for development. FreeWiFi services unlock the city for morepeople and this means making the mostof out of public spaces. It can be benefi-cial for anybody from entrepreneursneeding access to free WiFi services,tourists needing to access their email,or scholars needing to have access to in-

formation,” she says.WiFi users will be directed to a URL

where they will log in using their emailaddress. For each active user, there willbe a 100MB cap per person, per day.Komengi Noubactep says he will be

the first to make use of the free WiFi.“It’s an excellent idea. Itmakes the ar-

ea more attractive to visitors. We wantCape Town to be a world-class city, andfreeWiFiwillmake itmore so,” he says.However, tourist Lee Ford is con-

cerned about the effect the WiFi willhave. “While it is a good idea, peoplewill come to the promenade and just siton their phone. Itwill disrupt the atmos-phere of families spending time out-doors,” she says.

It’s a thumbs up to sipping a cuppa at theGreen Point Urban Park as no objectionsweremade against a proposal by council fora coffee shop at the public facility.The City of Cape Town intends to secure

a tenant for the coffee shop foundwithin thepark to provide food and non-alcoholic bev-erages to the 14 million annual visitors.The lease is short-term, and will only run

until the end of June 2015.According to a report submitted to the

Good Hope subcouncil, the long term man-agement of the facility will be decided oncethe investigation into the future manage-ment of the Cape Town Stadium is resolved.The public participation process ended

earlier thismonth, with no residents object-ing to the proposal.The coffee shopwill not operate as a fully-

fledged restaurant and will only serve lightmeals, snacks and beverages, says actingMayoral Committee member for Tourism,Events and Marketing Brett Herron.The coffee shop will bring in more tour-

ists to the park, states the report, and willgenerate additional income.“It is in the City and community’s best in-

terests to ensure the asset (currently vacantand non-operational) is optimally used andpreserved for its financial benefit in termsof rental income and economic spin-off aswell as providing a much needed food andbeverage service to visitors,” the reportstates.City departments are jointly working on

putting together the tender process to se-cure a tenant for the coffee shop.“The next step in the process requires ob-

taining the necessary administrative ap-provals to proceed with the lease. We arecurrently in the phase of presenting thecomments received from the public to theapproving bodies. Once the right to leasethe property has been granted, the tenderto lease the coffee shop will commence,”Herron says.As such, no tenders have been awarded

and no dates are finalised, he adds.Green Point Ratepayers’ Association co-

chairperson Luke Stevens says the generalopinion of residents is that “they don’tmind”.“The building is already there and is not

being used. It’s a shame. At least this willgenerate a bit of income,” he says.Cafe Neo owner Michael Elias says the

restaurant will lose out on business if thereis a coffee shop at the park.“We have a lot of customers who come to

the park, walk around, make their way tothe lighthouse, and then pop in for a coffee.They might not do that if there is a coffeeshop in the park,” he says.However, Elias believes the competition

is good for business.The shop will create competition for the

many restaurants and coffee shops near tothe park, Stevens says. “It’s up for tender,so if one of the neighbourhood’s restaurantswants to start up there, they should go forit. Itwill create extra competition, but that’sthe nature of business.”Park visitor Elroy Adams is looking for-

ward to a coffee shop in the public facility.“There is currently nowhere to eat or getsomething to drink. If youwant to eat some-thing, you have to leave the park. I think acoffee shop will bring in more tourists,” hesays.

If you’re in the market for a cheap tattoo orpiercing, be prepared to pay with yourhealth as your new ink may come with con-sequences.The cost of inking a butterfly onto your

shoulder or inserting a bar into your eye-brow can run into hundreds of rands, but an-yone with the freely available equipmentcan try their hand at body art.Knowledge relating to the health implica-

tions of unprofessional body art is limitedand many still do not understand the risksof getting inked in someone’s backyard, astudy by a group of fourth year UCTmedicalstudents has found.Many participants did not know what

types of infections they put themselves atrisk of contracting.This includes transfusion transmitted dis-

eases like syphilis, hepatitis and in extremecases even HIV, medical student SafwanNadvi explains.“You also put yourself at risk of damaging

your skin, blood vessels and nerves.”The study focused on adults between the

ages of 18 and 50.

The price of artWhile the cautious would rather save up

and ensure they go for the services of a repu-table artist, others who choose the pocket-friendly option may pay with their health.Second-hand tattooing machines go for as

little as R1 800 and body piercing equipmentfrom only R1 500, allowing inexperiencedand amateur enthusiasts access to all theyneed to try their hand at body art.Many will continue to opt for the cheaper

option, medical student Rhiannon Forleesays.“It is cheaper and more convenient, at a

price tag of R20 a letter. This is a fraction

of the price at established tattoo parlours,”she says.But being a price hunter doesn’t pay in this

business, professional tattoo artist TinoMar-shall warns.“Just a week ago a person came in with a

tattoo oozing puss. At this stage she neededa doctor, not another tattoo artist,” he says.“You may be paying R200 for a job which

would have cost R1000. But having an un-professional tattoo fixed may cost youR1200.”

Industry regulationRory Wyatt of the Council for Piercing

and Tattoo Professionals says governmentneeds to regulate the industry more vigor-ously.“There are no laws governing tattoo stu-

dios. Health bylaws are the only set ofguidelines regulating the industry and thatis not enough.”The council was established to help im-

prove hygiene and health standards at tat-too parlours. “This is one of our main con-cerns, as with no laws in place it makes iteasy for people to operate in their back-yards.”Age of consent is also a problem, Wyatt

believes. “While some studios do not takeon customers under the age of 18, with nolaws in place anyone is eligible for tattoo.”

Easy on, hard to get offFashion, self-expression and peer pres-

sure are some of the main reasons peopleget inked.“A largenumberalsohad their boyfriend

or girlfriend’s name tattooed on them,something many regret as it was not theperson they later married,” Forlee says.While laser removal is an option, it can

leave ugly scars.

“We surveyed a woman who had a tattoolaser removed at hospital. It left a scarwhichresembled a burn wound,” she recalls.Laser removal is also an expensive treat-

ment, prompting the cash-strapped to opt fordrasticmeasures such as battery acid,medi-cal student Shuaib Gogo says.

Picture perfectInking your body is not just about adding

flowers andChinese calligraphy to lookpret-ty, enthusiasts say.Manywho have tattoos done professional-

ly say body art tells their story.Lillian Amos has five tattoos, each telling

its own story.For her, the tattoos are a celebration of

life, a new beginning and in some instancesa means of finding hope“The tattoo that means the most to me is

the one I have on my left collarbone. It’s asparrow with the words “His eye is on thesparrow” scribed underneath.“I got because Iwas involved in an alterca-

tion where I nearly died after being stabbed.My lung collapsed and as I was rushed tohospital I sang the hymn “His eye is on thesparrow”and I think that’swhat gaveme thestrength to carry on.”The tattoo is a reminder that life is pre-

cious, she says.MeghanPoerstamper has six tattoos. “I’ve

always loved them. I love the idea of tellingyour story on your skin,” she says.

Keeping safeLaws regulating the industry are not cast

in stone.This is worrying, professional tattoo art-

ists agree.The City of Cape Town has developed by-

laws to regulate the industry but these arenot stringent enough, Marshall says.“You need to be certified by the health de-

partment. You also need to be a registeredbusiness. Health inspectors are supposed todo random inspections, but they don’t,” heclaims.Mayoral Committee member for Health

Lungiswa James says inspections at tattooparlours are done once a year.“Residents who suspect a tattoo parlour is

not compliant with the bylaws or is operat-ing illegally, should not hesitate to informthe City’s Environmental Health Office andwe will ensure there is compliance on thepart of the owners,” she says.A tattoo artist’s skill is not nearly as im-

portant as his health standards, Marshallwarns. “Youcan fix abad tattoo, but youcan-not give someone their health back.”If youare interested in getting a tattoo, ask

the tattoo artist for his health compliancecertificate, Nadvi advises. “Ensure allequipment used is clean and sterilised. Newneedles must be used, and your tattoo artistshould be wearing gloves.”Seek medical advice should you develop

an infection or experience discomfort aftergetting inked.

More locals can get ready to sweat it out.There are plans to install outdoor gyms

across the Atlantic Seaboard, and a group ofadventurous gym users are being asked fortheir input.Council is currently working with suppli-

ers to find sponsors for more outdoor gyms,says ward councillor Beverley Schafer.“We’d like to extend the current gym, as

well as add another one near to the Sea Pointpool,” she says.However, the community will now be con-

sulted in the gym designs, she says.One of the organisations Schafer is hoping

to workwith is Cape Calisthenics, which us-es the outdoor gym on the Promenade tohone their bodies.Calisthenics means training using your

own bodyweight.Co-founder of the group Matthew Kriel

says the outdoor equipment is the essenceof calisthenics.“All the equipmentmakes use of your own

body and there are no weights whatsoever.Wemainlymake use of the pull-up bars, par-allel bars and the ladder climb bars for ourtraining,” he says.The outdoor gym comes with other bene-

fits, he says.“We are outdoors so we get to enjoy the

fresh air and the great view of the prome-nade. There are so many people there andsome just walk past, some come close andspeak to us and some even join in right thenand there. It’s a really friendly environmentand there are no egos – just great, genuine,down-to-earth people,” Kriel says.Training with Cape Calisthenics is free

and open to all.“Helping people get in shape and bettering

their lives should never come with a pricetag. The equipment was put up by the gov-ernment at no charge so what right wouldwehave chargingpeople for theuse of a facil-ity given to us freely?” he says.Cape Calisthenics aims to promote aware-

ness of outdoor gyms, Kriel explains.“The outdoor workout scene is pretty big

overseas and when I found out that we hadone here I went to give it a try. I was justamazed at the results. I decided then and

there that I wanted to start a group to getpeople together to train, make videos andspread some awareness about the outdoortraining movement here in South Africa.”However, there is still some way to go in

rolling out the gyms, he says.“Some of the equipment is under-used or

not used at all by people. There are alsosome basic elements missing from the gymsuch as stand-alone pull-up bars. Ideallywhat I would like to achieve is to set upmore outdoor gyms across the city and na-tionally. I would hope thatwewould be con-sulted as to what equipment would be bestand how to lay the plans out to best utilisethe space.”Schafer believes community involve-

ment in the gymswill not only lead to betterdesigns, but will also create a sense of own-ership among residents.V For more information on Cape Calisthenics, visit thePeople’s Post website at www.peoplespost.co.za

Thousands of road deaths could beavoided if pedestrians hit the roadin the right colour clothing.Statistics shows that 14 000 peo-

ple die every year on our roads.Pedestrians, runners and cy-

clistsmake up 40%of the fatalities;60% of these incidents occur be-tween dusk and dawn.To reduce the amount of blood on

the roads, NPO See and Be Seen ison a step-by-step campaign in a bidto reduce 5 000 road accidentsacross the country.Founder Gabriella Stromhielm

says reflectors will go a long wayin achieving this.She says See and Be Seen will be

delivering reflectors to differentschools and groups across thecountry.“I estimate more than 3 000 pe-

destrian fatalities can be avoidedevery year through the frequentuse of safety reflectors,” she says.Stromhielm says organisations

are welcome to order reflectorsand informative brochures and asafety workshop will be provided.“Wewant our roads to be safe for

everyone,” she says.Stromhielm says that in a few

weeks 20 000 safety reflectors willbe delivered to pupils at schools as-sociated with Star for Life.Star for Life is a South African

organisation helping to educate 80000 children around the country.Their primary focus is to help chil-dren to build dreams and hopes fora better future.“The owner, Dan Olofsson,

bought Star forLife-branded safetyreflectors for his students to keepthem safe in traffic,” Stromhielmsays.See and Be Seen is collaboratingwith the Santa Shoebox Project,trying to distribute more safety re-flectors to children for Christmas.V To place an order, visit www.seeandbe-seen.org.za or www.facebook.com/seean-dbeseen.org.za.

count for 8 369 outstanding war-rants totalling R5 854 100.The top 10, including Funise-

lo, account fornearly 20%of thistotal.Mayoral Committee member

for Safety and Security JPSmith says one of the biggestfrustrations is serving sum-monses on offenders with out-standing warrants.“As things stand, summonses

have to be physically served onthe person, but often the sum-mons service is turned awayand told the person is nothome,” he says.The challenges of serving

summonses lies with the law,Smith continues.“We should just be able to

serve the summons on yourhome and that should be suffi-cient. That’s the proposal I’vemade to the provincial trans-port minister,” he says. “We arealso negotiating with the De-partment of Justice to increasecapacity at municipal courts, asmany fines are simply writtenoff because of a lack of staff andprosecutors in particular.”The City’s traffic fine pay-

ment rate is between 35% and38%, but the aim is to increasethat to 60%. In addition to lobby-ing for changes to legislationaround the serving of summons-es, the City has also stepped upOperation Reclaim from threeto 10 roadblocks aday, usingAu-tomatic Number Plate Recogni-tion to track down offenders.Three months ago, council

implemented the Admin Marksystem,using theENatis systemto track down defaulters withoutstanding warrants whenthey apply to renew their vehi-cle and drivers’ licences or Pro-fessional Drivers’ Permit.

District Six claimants areplanning tomarchtoParliament to demanda speedy resolutionto their claims.

The group is demanding that governmentfast-track an amended law allowing lateclaimants to submit applications for landrestitution.

The protest is planned for Saturday 19 No-vember, says the District Six Working Com-mittee chairperson Shahied Ajam.

Amemorandumwill be handed over to theminister ofRuralDevelopment andLandRe-form, he says, and will cover a number ofgrievances.

“We want an all-inclusive public partici-pation process and a speeding up of the proc-ess,” he says.

The amendment to the Restitution of LandRights Act no 22 of 1994 has been publishedfor consideration of Parliament, and will al-low for the re-opening of the registrationprocess to lodge claims, says VuyaniNkasayi, provincial spokesperson for theDepartment of Rural Development andLandReform.

“At this stage the process of lodgement ofland claims is still closed. The departmenthas published an amendment bill to amendthe Restitution of Land Rights Act no 22 of1994 as amended. This act will deal with peo-ple who have lost land before the 1913 Na-tives Land Act and also help people who didnot lodge claims before the closing date of31 December 1998,” he says.

However, Ajam says government is stall-ing on passing the amendment, and wouldlike to see it passed before the end of theyear.

“Twenty years is a long time to wait. Ittears you apart to see how they are draggingtheir feet,” he says.

The committee is also demanding theclaimants be given the full 150ha of land asrestitution.

Ajam says the former District Six wasmade up on 150ha, but only 40ha have been

made available for land claims.However, the land is simply not available,

District Six Redevelopment and BeneficiaryTrust chairperson Anwah Nagia insists.

“District Six was only 98ha historically, ofwhich only 42 is left. Unless we’re meant todemolish the University of Technology,roads and homes, where will the space come

from?”Nagia says the only solution is to ask the

City of Cape Town tomake land in other are-as available, but this would not fall into Dis-trict Six. “The Trust is not going to do thesame as the previous government. We arenot going todestroyhomes.Weare currentlyengaged in a process of healing.”

There’s a fine line between appropriate dress and attirethatwould leave people scratching their heads inwonder.Generally society places the responsibility upon wom-

en to avoid wearing clothes that are too tight, too shortor too high. Dress branded by some quarters as inappro-priate have been used as justification for untoward andunwelcome attention, and even for crimes of a sexual na-ture.Men, too, do not get off that easily. Pants that skate dan-

gerously close to falling off and have to be belted tightlyand t-shirts with outrageous messages are all the rage.It’s what passes for fashion.However you view it, clothes – appropriate or not – can-

not be the scapegoat for bad decisions. Especially as mostpeople,whilewearing the “right” clothes, are also victimsof crime. What to wear could be a very grey area.It is the storm in the teacup brewing around Mitchell’s

Plain police cluster commander Major-General JeremyVearey.Hewas seenwearing a t-shirt with the word “Rastafari-

an” and an image of a dagga leaf beneath it.Vearey was off duty at the time and wearing the t-shirt,

said to be a gift from his children, on a dare at a publicrally. That was in June. Provincial police commissionerLieutenant-General Arno Lamoer has reportedly said, bylaw, “there is no action police can take” against police-men wearing civilian clothes with dagga emblems onthem. Would it have generated the same controversy hadhe donned an armband with Rastafarian colours? Onsome level there may be room for the argument of moralsor even conscience, especially since selling and abuse ofdrugs remains a thorn in the side of crime fighters.But there comes a time in every person’s daywhen they

hang up their uniforms and should be allowed to be anindividual in a private capacity. Even top cops have aright to just be Joe Ordinary.The saying goes: the clothes maketh the man. Or does

it? Perhaps decisions over appropriate dress boils downto a little common sense and a smattering of wisdom.

Crime statistics: what’s really going on?Every year we receive crime statistics thatindicate the decrease or increase of crime inour country, province and station precincts.As a citizen and a concerned crime pre-

venter, I want to share my views and ques-tions on the released crime statistics.Where are the results or statistics of the

number of arrests, the number of crimessolved in relation to the different crimes,and the conviction rate in the corridors ofjustice? This will give amuchmore detailedsituation of where the crime is going andwhat is done about the situation.KEITH BLAKE

Your SMSesSpanking

. Spankingyour child is effective.Wewillhave a better society.

. I spankmysonswhen it’swell deserved.I’m sure we, as parents, adapt differentmeasures before spanking our kids. I feelgovernment has no right to tell parents howto raise their kids. It’s my religious right,as a parent, to do so and I will carry it outbecause I feel it works.

. The subject of spanking children to dis-cipline them is a touchy one. I don’t believein physical discipline, but I certainly don’tthink the government has the right to tellparents how to raise their children. I feelparents should build up their children’s self-discipline, so that they can become worthyadults who can control their anger. Punish-ment should fit the crime and age of thechild. It should be dealt with at once and notbe left “until your father gets home”. Itbuilds up such fear in the child. I believe theparents should be just that – parents – andnot try to be the child’s friend. J Curtis

. That’s why government is so corrupt;they weren’t disciplined to run a country.Now they want the leaders of tomorrow togrow without discipline.

. Spanking is a euphemism for hitting,which is violence. It teaches children vio-lence is alright. Hitting should not be con-fused with disciplining a child – there aremany alternative and more effective waysof teaching children how to behave. Thereis no evidence that corporal punishment im-proves discipline, especially self-disciplinein schools or at home. At best it simply in-stils behaviour based on fear and humilia-tion; at worst it encourages violence, bully-ing and abuse. Parents don’t and shouldn’thave the right to “raise” or treat their chil-drenas theywish–all people, including chil-dren, are protected legally by the Bill ofRights.

. He that spareth his rod hateth his son:but he that loveth him chasteneth him be-times – Proverbs 13:24. For whom the Lordloveth, he correcteth; even as a father theson in whom he delighteth – Proverbs 3:12.

. Spanking never caused death. Govern-ment can’t do their jobs properly. How canthey tell parents how to discipline our kids?The best of people got spanked; it only didus good. Thank you, Mom, for all the spank-ings.

A different type of struggleFuture generations will be grateful.Since there are more than seven billion

persons on earth, the surviving rhinos, ele-phants, tigers, lions and other wildlife can-not survive the human onslaught. There aresomehumanswhoare determined to slaugh-ter the remainingwildlife for recreation, forViagra, for ornaments and a host of malig-nant reasons.According to the Convention on Interna-

tional Trade in Endangered Species of WildFauna and Flora, more than 250 000 ele-phants were poached last year.Two centuries ago, visitors to the South-

ern Capewould have seen herds of elephant,bontebok, zebra and quagga roaming andpods of hippo in the rivers.Legislation andpenalising thosewhomas-

sacre endangered species have proven fu-tile. Protesting and campaignshave little re-sults. What is required is a radical breed of

eco-warriors that have primarily the surviv-al of nature at heart. Like democracy andfreedomactivistswhooften fiercely struggleagainst unjust regimes, naturalists mustconsider similar methods.Humans who threaten wildlife with ex-

tinction are at war with our collective hu-manity. The wellbeing of future generationswhich this generationholds as a sacred trustis at risk.More than a century ago Khalil Gibran

wrote: “Trees are poems that earth writesupon the sky; we cut them down and turnthem into paper, that we may record ouremptiness.”Whymust we allow some greedy and igno-

ranthumans topollute every river, cut downevery tree and kill every wild animal beforewe realise we are not the earth’s only de-pendants?YAGYAH ADAMS

Safety threatened on pavementOn Saturday morning I was looking in thewindow of CNA in Main Road when a foot-ball hitme againstmy leg, knockingme overonto my left side.This caused my hand and arm to bleed,

and also hurt my hip.The young man who kicked the ball came

dashing down, apologised and helpedme up,then left to join his mates.Later I went into Woolworths and put my

head on the counter when aman came tomyaid, got me water from an assistant and gotanother assistant to get me a plaster for myhand.I can’t thank all the Woolworths staff for

the help and care they gave me. I believe theman who came to my aid was the assistantmanager.Awoman came out tome and said she was

going to fetch her father and then come back

for me. The manager stayed with me untilshe came back to take me home.She did not tell me her name and told me

she lives in Camps Bay; I live in Three An-chor Bay. She really went out her way andI will not forget her.People cannot walk on the pavements in

Main Road.I have seen people onmotorbikes and chil-

dren on skate boards which we have toavoid. Just now we will have rugby playerskicking a rugby ball and tennis players hit-ting a tennis ball.All I can say is the pavements in Main

Road are very dangerous, especially for oldpeople.For the record, next month I will be 91

years of age.SYLVIA LASSMAN,Three Anchor Bay

After 63 years without a school hall, formerpupils of Harold Cressy High are raisingfunds to build a R11mmulti-purpose facilityto benefit the class of the future.The project is the brainchild of the Harold

Cressy Alumni Association.Historically, many schools were con-

structedwithout a school hall, says BronaghCasey, spokesperson for provincial educa-tion minister Donald Grant.“In the 1990s the schoolwas renovated and

a new roof was constructed over the school’squad. This enclosed area was then used asan assembly area,” she says.

“However, the quad area was small andcould not accommodate learners during ex-amination time.”The area currently used for these assem-

blies, concerts and prize-givings is toocramped, says allumni association memberFatimaAllies. “The area is stuffy during thehot summer and leaks during the rainy win-ter. A multi-purpose school hall can be usedfor concerts, prize-givings, indoor sportingactivities and community events. The in-come of these community events would sus-tain the maintenance of the facility.”But the school also does not have plenty

funds, she continues.“Most of the learners come from a previ-

ously disadvantaged community and con-

sider the school their ‘other home’. Thealumni association was formed to assist themuch neededHCHSBursary Fund to supplytransport bursaries and tertiary educationto students. It was then brought to the atten-tion of the association that a school hall wassorely needed as the school’s 750 learners donot have a place to have events,” she says.The education department has put R4,5m

funding towards the building of a hall, Caseysays. “R4,5m is the average current cost ofa school hall which would be in accordancewith the department’s norms and stand-ards.”The school, situated in the former District

Six, was at the centre of the forced removalsof thousands of families and has roots in the

struggle, Allie says. “Due to its location andthe age of the school building, HCHS has aheritage status which means that the vari-ous heritage departments first had to ap-prove the positioning and design of this fa-cility. It will be a 1300sqm hall, and we havea short fall of R6.5m,” she says.The facility will be in line with heritage

specifications, Casey adds.“Thearchitectshavealready receiveda fa-

vourable response from the heritage coun-cil. They will continue to engage with theheritage council on each phase,” she says.V The Harold Cressy Alumini Association is hosting afundraising event on Saturday 2 November at TurfhallPrimary to raise funds for the multi-purpose hall. Formore information call Fatima Allie on 082 066 3353.

Cape doctor blowsdown record attemptNear gale-force winds forced organisers

to abandonattempts to break theGuin-ness World Record for the most “surf-

ers on a single wave” at the sixth annualBOS Earthwave Beach Festival last week-end.The event got off to a great start under

cloudless skies on Saturday, but the windcontinued to strengthen until gusts reachednearly 60km/h on Sunday.Paul Botha, from festival organisers Ka-

huna Promotions, says the high windsturned the Muizenberg surf into a “foamymess”, making the record attempt impossi-ble. “It’s a pity the attempts to break theGuinness World Record could not be staged,but outdoor events are always at the mercyof Mother Nature,” Botha says.“Everybody had a great time on Saturday

and we congratulate those disciplines thatdid complete their events on Sunday. We’llbe back for a bigger and better festival in2014.”The event organisers hoped to improve on

the record of 110 surfers riding the samewave that was set at Earthwave in 2009.Most of the other events at Earthwave

went ahead despite the blustery conditions.The second annual Similasan Tandem

Surfing Championships was won by JamesTaylor and fiancé Cristina Fernandez delValle.The pair employed a series of moves, in-

cluding their patented koala lift, to relegatethe defending champions, father and daugh-ter duo Paul and Pippa Jones, into secondplace.The Western Cape Inter-schools Surfing

Tournament – presented by Billabong – bat-tled through the Sunday winds before Red-dam were crowned champions.An outstanding effort from Van Riebeek-

strand Primary secured second place aheadof established surfing schools such as SACS(third) and Wynberg (fourth).The Muizenberg Outreach Tag Team con-

test waswon by the Surf ShackA-team, withMuizenberg Beach Club B in second, IsiqaloA in third and Surf Shack B in fourth.Dreams to Reality, the fourth surfing out-

reach project in the area, was eliminated inthe semi-finals.Dylan Frickwas declared champion of the

2013 Battle of the Bay – presented by Xpres-sion of the Beach – after winning both thein and out races atMuizenberg on Saturday,and the downwind dash from Miller’s Pointto Fish Hoek.Bridget van Aswegan won the overall

women’s title and Peter Peterson is the leg-ends’ champion.The Living Legends successfully defended

their People’s Post Touch Rugby title whenthey out-scored reigningStilbaai championsWarrior Nomads in a hard-fought finalplayed in near-sandstorm conditions on thebeach.In the Pipeline Skate Ramps skateboard-

ing competition, Travis Parce and Sam But-ton grabbed the glory and prizes for the bestperformers in the advanced and intermedi-ate pipe competitions respectively.Ethan and Pierre Burke were the respec-

tive champions in the advanced and inter-mediate street events, while Kai-Sea Buttonwas the top girl.

Mountaineers at the BNL summitLIAM MOSES

#LiamCPT

The Cape Mountaineers are relishingtheir underdog status as they head in-to the next round of matches in the

newly formed Basketball National League(BNL).

Cape Town’s only team in the South Afri-ca’s version of the NBA will head into theirthird match as one of only two undefeatedteams in the 11-team competition.

The Mountaineers pulled off an against-the-odds victory against the KwaZulu-NatalMarlins (71-70) on Saturday, before brush-ing aside the Port Elizabeth Windbreakers(75-60) on Sunday.

Mountaineers’ head coach Craig Danielssays his team’s lowly rating could see themcause further upsets this weekend.

“We are far removed from the other bas-ketball centres in the country, so we will al-ways be regarded as underdogs but we en-joy the tag because it means they underesti-mate us,” he says.

“That is why we have been able to comeaway with two wins on the first weekend.We are hoping to stay the underdogs for as

long as we can.”He adds the Mountaineers were hoping to

come out of the opening matches with onewin at best.

The underdog tag may be an unfamiliarone for Daniels.

The Mountaineers mentor started coach-ing basketball at Montevideo PrimarySchool in Montana in 1992, when the sportwas still relatively unknown.

But he has been at the helm of MontanaVikings, a powerhouse of Cape amateurbasketball, for many years.

Many of the players in Mountaineers sidecome from Vikings, with UWC and CapeTech supplying the rest.

Although his players seem to have takenthe step up to professionalism in theirstride, Daniels says the difference in quali-ty is evident.

“You get the feeling that you are at thenext level, because you also have some ofthe best foreign players in the country,” hesays.

“The influence of the foreign players real-ly upgrades the level of play.”

Daniels’ side will be put to the test againthis weekend when they face the Soweto

Panthers on Saturday and Marlins again onSunday.

The Marlins and Panthers are widely con-sidered to be the best in the group, but Dan-iels has a plan to come out of the games withhis 100% record unblemished.

“Going into the season our focus was tobe a very strong defensive team,” he says.

“A lot of the other teams have many na-tional team players, so our focus was tobuild our team from the defensive end. Weare in the process of establishing ourselvesas a very strong defensive team and hope-fully that will cause more problems for theother teams in the league.”

The structure of the BNL’s first seasonwill see each team play two games againstthe four or five other teams in their group.

The top four teams in each group willthen progress to quarter-finals, semi-finalsand eventually a final to decide an overallwinner.

All games will be played at the WembleyStadium in Turfontein, Johannesburg dur-ing the first season. However, the Moun-taineers will play their home games at UCTnext season.

WP dominate Super SevensLIAM MOSES

@LiamCPT

The Western Province Invitational sidecruised to victory in the first annualCape Town Super Sevens tournament

in Claremont on Saturday.The tournament featured 16 teams from

across Cape Town playing in an ultra-com-petitive Champions League and six teamsplaying in the social Barbarians League.

Province were pooled with the UCT NightHawks, UWC RFC and Village Rangers inGroup B of the Champions League, and pro-gressed smoothly to the next round.

None of the sides offered Province a chal-lenge as the eventual victors romped to a21-5 win over UWC, a 28-14 victory over theNighthawks and a 33-0 thrashing of the Vil-lage Rangers.

WP were drawn to face St George’s RFCin the quarter-finals. The Somerset Westside had qualified for the knockout roundsby finishing second in Group A, behind Ma-ties and ahead of False Bay and the CPUTCats. However, they were no match forProvince and went down 17-0.

WP went on to face the winners of GroupA in the semis, in a clash of two of the top-rated teams at the competition.

The team in the royal blue and whitehooped jerseys won 26-22 to secure a finalagainst the Cape Rugby TV side.

Maties went on to beat Hands and HeartRFC 20-0 in the third place play-off.

Finalists Cape Rugby TV had defeated thesame H&H team 31-7 in the semi-finals andwould have been confident of causing an up-set in the final.

In the end, Province racked up a 40-12 winto take the inaugural Super Sevens title instyle. The tournament featured players andteams from clubs such as Villager RFC,Primrose, UCT, False Bay, Hamiltons,Masiphumelele and UWC.
