BirdLife, Save Our Seas Foundation and other organisations have started an online petition to raise support for the increase in MPAs, following an internal commitment by national government to increase formal ocean protection to 5% of the exclusive eco- nomic zone, as part of Operation Phakisa, to 22 new MPAs. MPAs safeguard ocean habitats to ensure that human activities like fishing, mining, and tourism are sustainable in the long term. Despite their critical role, only 0.4% of South Africa’s mainland oceans are current- ly under formal protection, compared to al- most 10% of our terrestrial area.

‘Rapists are useless’ – Chaka ChakaTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

“Today is the day we all sayenough is enough. Rape and

abuse has no colour and it doesn’tcare whether you’re white orblack, but today it must stop.”These were the words of legend-

ary musician Yvonne ChakaChaka, a guest speaker at the 11thlunch of 1000 Women UnitedAgainst Domestic Violence andAbuse, held at the Cape Town In-ternational Convention Centre(CTICC) on Thursday last week.Women from different areas

came together to speak aboutabuse and said it was time theystood together to put an end to it.The day was also used to celebratewomen who have stood tall to talkabout their circumstances. Agroup ofwomenwho are part of the“I’m Beautiful Project” spokeabout their different experiencesof violence and abuse.The exhibition will be at the

CTICC for a month. Thereafter itwill move to the Media24 building

before it goes to Pick n Pay’s of-fices.In South Africa, one in every

fourwomen is caught in anabu-sive relationship. Every sixdays, a woman is murdered byher intimate partner.More shocking is that a wom-

an is raped every 25 seconds ofevery day.These horrific statistics are

nothing new to people living inSouth Africa as the escalatinglevel of abuse is broadcast 24hours a day via media chan-nels.The luncheonwas a call to all

South Africans to stand togeth-er and speak out against theabuse of our women.Chaka Chaka said now was

the time to fight for women sothat they won’t be blamed bythe next generation. “All menwho rape and are abusive, areuseless and stupid. They arenot worth living. As women it’stime we take a stand. Womenshould be nurtured and lookedafter by men. We must work

with each other to complete one an-other, not to compete. Its high timemen learned to respect women. Weare not here to compete, but to beequals and work together.”She added that mothers have a

huge responsibility to play if thewaragainst violence and abusewas to bewon. “Mothers, let’s teach our chil-dren that women are not doormats.They must be respected. Let’s teachour kids that women are importantand they should be valued, not tram-pled on. It starts at home. If we raisegood sons who respect women thenwe have won the war.”Turning to women she told them

to speak against rape and abuse.“Women need to start talking

about these things, not to make funof women being abused. In SouthAf-rica we have a huge problem. Welook the other way when things be-gin to happen. We need to stand to-gether. Women, talk to one another.Don’t stay in an abusive relation-ship. If he loves you, he won’t abuseyou. Some stay because they havenowhere to go. Some stay becausethe man is the provider. No, Godgave you your brains and hands –use them to work for yourself. Menare here to hold our hands and wewalk together side by side. We allcan’t make it on our own – we needeach other as man and woman, butwe should never, ever allow our-selves to be abused.”Wendy Ackerman, patron of the

event, said she was happy that a lotof people came out to say they havehad enough.“The message has to go out there.

Touch more women and we start to

talk about these things and we dosomething about it. The power ofyour voice has to be heard. At themoment women’s voices are not asloud, but the message is very cleartoday – we’ve had enough and abuse

and rape must stop now.”The money raised at the event

will help to provide access to skills,knowledge and resources and toprovide seed funding to women-ledorganisations.

COMPANY’S GARDEN

Local kitten oneof 35 worldwideThe world’s rarest kitten – a Lykoi or

Werewolf Cat – has been rescued fromthe Company’s Garden by staff and volun-teers from Tears Animal Rescue Feral CatProject.The cat, found under a bush, is the only

natural-born Lykoi on record in SouthAfri-ca and one of just 35 in the world, makingthis one of the most exciting discoveries inthe South African animal world in recentyears. Part of a litter of six kittens taken toTears for sterilisation in March after thedisappearance of their mother – a shorthaired domestic tabby – the only strange-looking kitten in the litter has since beenconfirmed as an incredibly rare Lykoi.The kitten’s strange appearance prompt-

ed Tears’ veterinarian, Dr Tracy Dicks, totake skin scrapings to test for various skindiseases. All returned negative findingsand with the help of Tears’ operations andfeline programme manager, Mandy Store,the search to uncover the mystery of thisstrange cat began in earnest.Store says: “We even tested to see if the

kitten was a Devon Rex but results alsocame back negative. The mother and fiveother kittens in the litter – all short-haireddomestic tabbies – gave us no clues aboutour new arrival so we widened our re-search. We were absolutely stunned to dis-cover that we’d brought into our shelter therarest kitten in South Africa – the weird,wonderful and legendary Werewolf Cat.”United States veterinarian and world Ly-

koi specialist, Dr Johnny Gobble, says thelittle Lykoi at Tears is the first natural mu-tation in South Africa reported to him.“The Lykoi breeder in South Africa start-

ed with Lykoi cats from another breederthat we began with our lines, so those catswere bred and did not occur naturally.”Gobble, fascinated by rare breeds and ge-

netics, was the first breeder of Lykoi in theworld from naturally occurring Lykoi. Hesays that about 20 years ago, these oddballcats were thought to have the Sphynx orDevon gene but have since been found to bea completely new, natural mutation of cat.He is not surprised that the only naturalSouth African Lykoi was found living wildunder a bush.“All of the Lykoi that started the breed

were found in very similar situations. Wehave some from shelters, some from feralcat colony trap and release programmes,and some that were found on the streets.This is why we call the Lykoi a secondchance breed. All of the cats in the startingprogrammewere rescues.Theyhaveagreatpersonality overall, and we have found nogenetic health problems so far. Since theycome from the feral colonies, I think theyhave great immune systems.”Since monitoring of the breed began in

2011, there have been 34 reported naturalmutations from around the world. “TheTears’ Lykoi is the 35th,” Gobble says.The discovery made sense of the kitten’s

unusual behaviour – Tears staff had ob-served that he did not play as a typical catwould, and displayed qualities that weremore dog-like. Initially it was assumed thathe maintained his aloof and stoic demean-our because he was a shy feral, but it is nowclear that this is the typical behaviour of aLykoi.Tears hasnamed the rare treasureEyona,

a Xhosa name that means “The One.” It isbelieved that those carrying the name areattracted to mysteries and exhibit fierce in-dependence. Eyona is in the safe care ofTears Animal Rescue and will not be re-homed.Hehas beengivenahappyandquietplace inwhich to develop as a normal kittenwould, despite being one-of-a-kind.

Theworld’srarestkitten – aLykoi orWerewolfCat – hasbeenrescuedfrom TheCompany’sGarden.

FROM PAGE 1

South Africa has committed to a globalagreement called the Convention on Bio-logical Diversity (CBD), Yeld Hutchingsexplains. “Signatories to the CBD agree toconserve biodiversity in order to providelasting development benefits to the na-tion. Currently, only 0.4% of South Afri-ca’s oceans are formally protected. Gov-ernment has also launched OperationPhakisa to develop our ‘Blue Economy’.This hopefully represents a key step to-wards addressing economic growth andequality for our citizens; however, sus-tainability should be at the core of any fu-ture development, if the benefits from de-velopment are to be equitable and lasting.MPAs are a part of this solution.”

The declaration of newMPAs will hope-fully lay thegroundwork for increasing to-tal protection to 10% in the future, YeldHutchings says. “In tangible terms, thispresents new opportunities for alterna-tive forms of development, like ecotour-ism, in these areas. It also sets up a sus-tainable frameworkwhich can support fu-ture development opportunities, as wedevelop our Blue Economy and strength-en other economic sectors.“Ranked as the third most biodiverse

country in the world, South Africans canrightly be proud ofwhat represents a land-mark step towards recognising this, andimplementingpolicies that accept our roleas custodians of this country.”

While you may not see an ounce of faton Camps Bay beach, that doesn’t

stop it from clogging up the sewerage sys-tem.

The City of Cape Town has been carry-ing out an audit on Camps Bay restau-rants to ensure compliance in the disposalof cooking fats, as a measure to preventthe blockage of the wastewater system.

“Inspections conducted for the purpos-es of ensuring compliance with the Waste-water and Industrial Effluent Bylaw formpart of our daily duties. Such inspectionsare ongoing and non-compliance issuesare attended to as found. Inspections haveshown that most restaurants do havegrease traps installed, but the mainte-nance thereof could be improved,” saysMaycomember forutility services,ErnestSonnenberg.

Inspections are necessary as grease inthe wastewater system reduces sewer ca-

pacity due to formation of greasy solids,causes blockages and failure of pumps,causes overflows in sewer drains posinga nuisance or health hazard, and reducesefficiency of wastewater treatment facili-ties. This adds to the high operation andmaintenance costs of the infrastructureand reduces the quality of effluent dis-charged into the water bodies, Sonnebergexplains.

Restaurants are required to wipe andscrape plates, pans and utensils beforewashing, as well as collect waste oil in asuitable secure container and arrange forthat oil be collected by a licensed wastecontractor. They are also required to usestrainers in sink plug holes and maintaingrease traps, Sonnenberg says.

Violations of the bylaw could see guiltyparties paying fines between R2500 andR3000. “The City can block the premisesoff from the municipal sewerage systemor secure an interdict for closure of thebusiness. This will be considered for seri-ous cases,” he says.

“We host this event to illustrate fairnessand impartiality, a healthy respect for the

rights of all people within and outside of theboundaries of the Western Cape and SouthAfrica at large, irrespective of creed or col-our, religion or affiliation, gender or age,disability or vulnerability, and the winneris recognised as an ambassador of her com-munity and LGBTI matters.”

The pageant was launched in 2012 whenMsGayAmbassador ZilinAyoki Zhangwascrowned the first Ms Gay Ambassador.

HERITAGE WESTERN CAPE

Council’s plansget the nodNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Some heritage management powers areexpected to shift from Heritage Western

Cape to the City of Cape Town.At a recent full council meeting, the City

received support to manage its local heri-tage resources in a sustainable manner.

Heritage Western Cape (HWC) assessedthe City’s Environmental Resource Man-agementDepartment in termsof theNation-al Heritage Resources Act (NHRA) in Octo-ber 2015 and found it competent to manageheritage resources of a local significance, orclassifiable as Grade III heritage resources.

In April, the City received a letter fromHWC requesting that Council adopt anagreement for the City to manage all localheritage resources and protected sites un-der the NHRA, other than for Grade I andGrade II heritage resources of national andprovincial significance, national and pro-vincial heritage sites, human burials, andthe permission of archaeological excava-tions.

One of the objectives of the delegation isto cut red tape, says the City’s Mayco mem-ber for energy, environmental and spatialplanning, Johan van der Merwe. “It shouldprovide greater certainty to all stakehold-ers and role players as there will be one sin-gle authority dealing with local heritage ap-plications, as the Constitution envisages.”

In terms of the NHRA the responsibilityfor managing Grade III heritage resourceslies with the local authority, but the man-agement functions are being administeredat a provincial level. This creates duplica-tion in processing heritage approvals by

both the City and HWC.“This delegation is based on the need for

efficient deployment of scarce resources,the removal of duplication of process, andthe need for effective and efficient servicedelivery. The agreement embodies the im-perative of cooperative governance while atthe same time putting in place checks andbalances to ensure that the City is compe-tent and accountable for the responsiblemanagement of local heritage resources interms of this delegation,” says Van der Mer-we.

The City has been carrying out an auditof heritage buildings (Help put heritagesites on the map,People’s Post, 8 December),which included surveying heritage protec-tion overlays. The second phase of the auditof the entiremetropolitan areawill see heri-tage professionals appointed by the Cityidentify and provide proposed grading forplaces in a geographical area. These arethen mapped and reviewed by the City staff,and a grading assigned. It must be notedthat grading is not a protection in itself, butrather an assessment of the heritage signifi-cance of a place, Garreth Bloor, the City’sacting Mayco member for energy, environ-mental and spatial planning previously toldPeople’s Post.

The Environmental Resource Manage-ment Department has drafted a clarifica-tion document for local communities ex-plaining the grading process. Included inthis document is a nomination sheet forGrade III heritage resources. The submis-sion will be checked for quality and consist-ency in terms of the criteria listed in the Na-tional Heritage Resources Act and the sub-mission entered onto the heritage database.

Rising young stars of the Cape Town CityBallet (CTCB) are set to take cen-

tre stage in the classic and comicballet, Coppélia, at Artscapenext week.

Based on the well-knowntale by E.T.A. Hoffmann, thissparkling production of the be-loved ballet has a short runfrom Monday 25 to Sunday29 May.

With its charm-ing and mischie-vous plot,brightly-col-oured costumesand gloriousmusic, Coppéliais as ideal for familiesand serious dance lov-ers, as it is for new-comers to the ballet.

True love triumphs inthis enchanting fairytale,which features three main char-acters – the young Franz, his fiancéeSwanilda and the mysterious doll-maker, Dr. Coppelius, who createsthe life-like doll, Coppélia. Believ-ing the doll is a real person, Franzbecomes infatuated with her,which most definitely does notmeet with Swanilda’s approv-al. This leads to all kinds ofhilarious situationsamongst the protagonistsand culminates in a happily-ever-after wedding scene.

The role of Swanilda will beshared by Cleo Ames, Sarah-Lee Chapman,

LOUISA STEYL@LouNotes

“I call it my cause album,” AuriolHays says of her upcoming release.

The local singer will be officiallylaunching her aptly namedDream-ing Music at a secret location onSaturday 28 May and with it, shehopes to give a voice to those whoneed it.

While she’s very aware that thesongs on her new album may notsuit commercial radio, Auriolsays: “They come from a very deepplace and they are meant to createa difference.”

One of the songs on the album,for example is “Come to Me”,which she wrote to raise aware-ness about “The Arctic 30” a group

of Greenpeace activists and jour-nalists who were arrested for pro-testing against oil drilling in theArctic.

She was invited to perform thesong on a Greenpeace boat lastyear when their Rainbow Warriorwas docked in Cape Town. Anoth-er of her songs “Pray for Rain” hasbeen used by the Dress Jozi Cam-paign, an organisation that helpscare for the homeless residents ofJohannesburg. “That’s a wonder-ful thing.”

Then there’s her track “Help meOut” which has been used by theSouth African Depression andAnxiety Group (SADAG).

Auriol says many fans refer toher previous album, Call it Love as“a break-up album”. “It was sad

and beautiful,” she says, adding:“This album, I’d like to think, is somuch happier andbolder.”

The music switchesbetween blues, folk,reggae with elementsof many other genres,including what Auriolcalls her “Bond-in-spired song”. “Be-cause I’m a storyteller,I tell the story inwhichever way worksbest.”

She’s also quick topoint out that the fan-tastic band behind herhelped “bring everything to life”.

Auriol is currently working withbassist Andre Webb, who also acts

as her musical director, guitaristJason De Laney, drummer Jason

Beukes and keyboardistYvan Potts and whenasked how she metthem, she quips: “I’mblaming the gods on thatone.”

When she returned toCape Town after work-ing in Johannesburg forthree years, Auriol saysa random person, “outof the goodness of hisheart”, connected herwith a group. While An-dre is the only survivingband member, the situa-

tion evolved into one where shenow works with what she calls: “anamazing bunch of musicians”.

While many of them play for otherartists, Auriol says she alwaysworks with the group when formu-lating a song “so that it’s our musicand not my music”.

Away from the stage, Auriol isalso moving into the film industry,playing the role of the “seer” in thelocal Sci-Fi series Spelonk. A songshe released with Crimson Housefrontman Riaan Smit “ChildAtone” will also be featured in thepost-apocalyptic piece that ex-plores what music and languagewould sound like in 2044.

Auriol is also in the process ofwriting a book which she is releas-ing in segments on her website.V For more about Auriol Hays or her music,visit auriolhays.co.za. For more about Spe-lonk visit www.spelonkfilm.com.

The venue for the inaugural Relay AgainstRacism family fun walk, presented by Cy-

cle of Life and People’s Post, has beenchanged to Vygieskraal Stadium in Rylands.

Due to logistical reasons, the organisers ofthe event decided to change the venue fromthe Green Point Athletics Stadium to Vy-gieskraal Stadium.

Due to the high level of interest shown inthe event and it being the first of its kind,organisers listened to all concerns and ideaspresented by participants and interestedparties.

“Many of the entrants into the event comefrom Mitchell’s Plain, Athlone, Cape Flatsand surrounding areas and based on this, wedecided to change the venue to a more cen-tral and easily accessible location for the ma-jority of participants. Vygieskraal Stadiumalso allows for many more vehicles to beparked on the inside of the stadiumgrounds,” says Cycle of Life director RozarioBrown.

“Some of the participants also suggestedthat we consider changing the dress code

from black and white to full colour sports-wear in an effort to highlight the diversityof our rainbow nation, which we totallyagree with.”

A number of schools have also indicatedthat they are in the process of putting togeth-er teams to participate in the walk. Otherschools, corporates, church groups, seniorsclubs, sporting bodies and especially walk-ing and running clubs are encouraged to en-ter teams into this event. The team with thehighest number of participants into theevent will win a cash prize of R1000 and thehead of the team with the most participantsstands to win a complimentary stay at anyProtea Hotel in South Africa. Teams mustconsist of 10 and more.

Registration for the event will now alsotake place on event day, Saturday 28 May,at the stadium between 07:00 and 09:00.

Each participant is encouraged to com-plete the 22 rounds around the VygieskraalStadium.V For enty forms call Sharon on 021 391 0140, enteronline on www.relayagainstracism.co.za.

Bringing home the Vans titleJordy Maree from Kalk Bay has clinched

the junior titles at the Vans Surf ProClassic which was completed in epic 1.0

to 1.3 metre waves and ideal conditions atYoYo’s in Lambert’s Bay on Sunday.The first World Surf league (WSL) events

to be run north of Cape Town on the Westcoast of South Arica, the Vans Surf ProClassic showcased the country’s best menand junior surfers as they chased a totalprize-purse ofR50 000 and invaluable pointson the qualifying series andWSL Africa re-gional rankings.The junior final sawaquartet of the coun-

try’s top u.18 rippers tearing up the pump-ing A-frame peaks with Maree dominatingfrom start to finish to clinch his first JQSevent title in style. Accumulating scores of8.33 and 9.33 on his opening rides, Mareehad his opponents in a combination situa-tion from the outset. Jake Elkington, alsofrom Kommetjie, delivered a 7.67 but stillneeded a near-perfect 9.99 while Adin Ma-sencamp from Strand and Max Elkington(appearing in a final with his brother forthe first time), needed to improve both theircounting rides when the heat ended.The men’s semi-finals were nail-biting

encounters punctuated by incredible ma-noeuvres with both going down to the wire.In the first, de Vries racked up an excellent8.83 and followed that with a 7.77 beforeDavey Brand got on the scoreboard. Thegoofy foot from Kommetjie responded withscores of 7.93 and 8.33 and, needing 8.28 fora place in the final, he came agonisinglyclose when he was awarded an 8.10 on hislast ride in the closing seconds.The final of the QS1000 rated men’s event

saw Beyrick De Vries from uMhlanga andMichael February fromKommetjie go headto head in a spectacular high-flying airshow. With a light crosswind blowing per-

fectly into the rights, both surfers puntedmanoeuvres above the lip on virtually ev-ery ride and each ended up counting a pairof eight-point scores.

It was de Vries’ rides that impressed thejudgesmore though, and he earned his firstQS event title along with R12 000 in prize-money and 1000 points when his 8.67 and8.47 left him a slim 0.40 of a point ahead ofFebruary’s 8.23 and 8.07.

“Thanks to the locals for letting us usetheir waves and especially to Vans forbringing a QS event to a spot where thewaves are so good,” said de Vries on the po-dium before going on to thank his sponsorsand family for their fantastic support.“Thank you to everyone who came, youlooked left or right and everybodywas smil-ing. Big ups!”

His points haul moved de Vries into thetop 100 on the QS ranking after just twoevents this year, while February’s 750points saw him jump into the top 30.

“The final was always going to be a toughone, especially against Beyrick and withthewaveswe’ve been having,” said Februa-ry. “I hadpriority for the last sevenminutesand nothing came, but I’m happy anyway.This wave is the best, it really brings outthe best in everyone’s surfing and allowsyou to use your whole repertoire of ma-noeuvres.”

The second semi saw February open upwith an 8.67 and an incredible 9.50 beforeMatt McGillivray (Jeffreys Bay) posted hisfirst meaningful score of 7.50. The lankyKommetjie ripper then added an even bet-ter 9.60 which left McGillivray facing adaunting 19.10 total, the highest of theevent. But SA’s highest raneked QS surfertook off on a set wave and posted a perfect10 point ride, his second of the event, to getback into contention. Still requiring 9.10,

McGillivray waited patientlybut did not get the opportuni-ty to complete what wouldhave a famous comeback andhad to settle for third placeoverall and a haul of 560points and R3000.“I knew Mikey (February)

was going to throw downsomebig scores andhe got twonines on the lefts. So I waiteda long time for a set and man-aged a 10 to break the combi-nation, but nothing morecame in the last couple ofmin-utes, said McGillivray.“I’m still happy with my

performance and the way Isurfed.And I’veneverhad two10s in an event, so I’m stoked.”The Vans Surf Pro Classic

has set the bar for perform-ance surfing in South Africaand YoYo’s has established aninstant reputation as one ofthe best contest sites in thecountry, being likened to thefamous Lower Trestles in Cal-ifornia bymanyof the compet-itors.Vans Surf Pro Classic fi-
