MOWBRAY

Crime prowls on footTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

Residents in Mowbray and the sur-rounding area want the footbridge thatruns over the N2 and parallel to the

railway line to be closed off at specific times.Residents say that the footbridge has be-

come a hub for all sorts of crimes, becauseit offers an easy escape route for criminals.They want this to come to an end.Mostly, residents have complained about

theft out of their cars, house break-ins andalso having their car tyres stolen. They hatethat the thieves get awaywith it because thefootbridge gives them an easy way out.To ensure their safety the residents want

gates to be installed on the footbridge andfor them to be opened at certain times in themorning and closed at certain times in theevening. Some residents propose that thefootbridge opens at 05:00 and closes at 20:00to accommodate those who work.It has also beenproposed that security offi-

cers from the Groote Schuur CommunityImprovement District, as well as membersfrom the community, monitor the openingand closing of the gates. They also suggestthat the fencing of the surroundings aroundthe footbridge be repaired or replaced tomake sure that there is no easy access to thearea.Jonathan Hobday, chairperson of the

Mowbray Community Police Forum, saysthough there is no magic bullet to reducecrime, this is a proposal that will go a longway.“Crime is an unending battle and nothing

can be done to eliminate crime, but it’s thelittlemeasures that people take tomake surethat they are not in danger. It’s a workablesolution and it’s not that expensive. It hasworked in some areas and crime has beenreduced tremendously, so we are hopefulthat it will also help in this area to reducecrime,” he says.Hobday warns residents to stop putting

themselves in vulnerable positions by usingthe footbridge at odd hours and carrying ex-pensive belongings.“It’s so strange that you find some people

still using the footbridge at 02:00 with lap-tops. It’s silly that some people do suchthings,” he says.

Besides the footbridge contributing tocrime, some people use it as a toilet, makingit unbearable for people that stay close to thebridge to enjoy their home life.The various stakeholders say they don’t

want to inconvenience those who use thebridge, but people should learn that they are

putting their lives at risk if they continueus-ing the bridge at quiet times.Dave Siversten, executive member of the

Mowbray Community Police Forum, saysthe bridge is an escape route for personscommitting crime in the area of Mowbaryand residents want it closely monitored.

“Once all the avenues have been covered apublic meeting will be called and a vote willbe taken,” he says.Residents have already signed a petition

in favour of the closing and opening of thefootbridge. The proposal now sits with thesubcouncil to decide what it is going to do.

Lending a helping handTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

For the past eight years Our Kids of theCape has been helping children that real-

ly need their help the most.Most of their help goes to children in vul-

nerable and disadvantaged communities.Since its inception this NPO has given overR3.5 million to children in need across thegreater Cape area.

The organisations that they help through-out the year are the Amy Biehl Foundation,the Anna Foundation, the Anthea PietersSafe house and Foster home, The AquariusSchool Feeding Scheme, Atlantic Hope, Bap-humelele Children’s home, South AfricanChildren’s Home, St Michaels Home forGirls and Woodside Special Care Centre.

This social investment initiative is over-seen and supported by the Vineyard Hotel,Townhouse Hotel and OudeWerf Hotels andsupports nine children’s charities through-out the year, aswell as ad hoc projects of var-

ious other charities and initiatives includ-ing educational, health, HIV/Aids and feed-ing schemes for local children.

The aim of this NPO is to create real im-pact in the lives of children who need it themost, committing to long term sustainabili-ty across the various charities and organisa-tions.

The contribution from thehotels has bene-fitted the lives of various children across the

greater Cape.Alison Kranenburg, chairperson of Our

Kids of the Cape, highlighted some of the in-credible achievements of the kids over thepast few months. “These kids have showedsuch innovation and creativity in many oftheir recent activities.Duringhorse therapyat the South African Children’s Home, oneof their tasks was to groom and lead horses– reign-free – to designated spots. They didthis effectively by using their own jackets as‘reigns’ and successfully leading the horsesto where they had to be,” says Kranenburg.

Kranenburg added that the contributionof the three hotels over the past eight yearshas been phenomenal. “They have hostednumerous fundraising events like annualgolf days and art auctions, which have al-lowed us to donate money to the cause.We’ve also been able to improve infrastruc-ture at locations like the Salvation Care ha-ven, where we recently laid a grass patchand installed an outdoor jungle gym for thekids to play and be active,” she says.

Dancer alsogoes casualProfoundly deaf professional balletdancer Simone Botha has had toovercomemajor obstacles to becomea dancer, but she wants no pity.

“I don’t want people to feel sorryfor me and say, ‘Oh shame, she is de-af’. That’s life. There is no point sit-ting on a heap feeling sorry for ourinabilities.

“The real reason of life is to seewhat we can do with the bodies wewere given. How far are we willingto go? I really look forward to the un-known challenges that the rest ofmylifewill throwatme. It’swhatmakesit exciting.”

Botha, a Cape Town Casual Dayambassador, issued the annual chal-lenge to the youth of South Africa tospring into action for persons withdisabilities.

“My love for the stage has made itvery easy for me to be a voice for thehearing impaired as both an ambas-sador and motivational speaker.

“If I can change one person’s lifea day or just inspire somebody to bethe same change for somebody else,then I am thrilled,” she says.

Casual Day ambassadors are outin force to tell South Africans thatCasual Day is on Friday 4 Septemberthis year and the theme is Spring in-to Action.

In honour of YouthMonth, ambas-sadors are encouraging young peo-ple to follow their lead and volunteerfor Casual Day by helping organisa-tions to raise donations for stickersand to get their schools to celebratethe day.

Casual Day ambassadors are as-

king communities to pay attentionto youth with disabilities in this Yo-uth Month.

“I am sohonoured to have been ap-pointed as a Casual Day Ambassa-dor. Casual Day is a household nameand really well supported by the pu-blic. Being a part of this platform isan amazing stepping stone for me,but at the same time it is an even big-ger responsibility to further educatethe public about hearing impair-ment. I hope that this yearwill reachan even higher benchmark of suc-cess than last year.”

Simone’s latest stage appearanceis in Veronica Paeper’s large scaleproduction, A Spartacus of Africa,which is on atArtscape from 27 Juneto 12 July. Shehas just completed theproduction’s run at the JoburgThea-tre, where she performed in the leadrole of Phrygia.

She is encouraging all mains-tream schools to come on board andpartnerwith the schools for learnerswith disabilities in their areas. “Get-ting learner in a school environmentto participate in Casual Day is oneof the bestways of raising awarenessfor persons with disabilities, sospring into action for this year’scampaign.”

Casual Day is South Africa’s mostsuccessful fundraising project forpersons with disabilities – and theamount raised for last year has clim-bed toR28million. Sponsored byTheEdcon Group, Casual Day is theflagship project of the NationalCouncil for Persons with PhysicalDisabilities in South Africa.Simone Botha in her lead role of Phrygia

Eyes on the street from new home baseTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

Situated at 25 Stegman Road and backingon to the Draper Square parking lot, a

charming cottage with its brookie lace ve-randa is the new home for the ClaremontImprovement District Company (CIDC).

The property is one of the last remaining“residential” properties inwhathasbecomea densely populated commercial corridor ofClaremont.

The cottage was previously used by theCity’s solid waste department but had beenstanding unused for many months.

The new occupants have given it a newname, Draper Cottage. It is the new head-quarters for CIDC management and opera-tions staff. The lease for the property, meas-uring 883m2, has been signed for threeyears.

The CIDC, which was previously locatedon the first floor in the Stadium on Mainbuilding on Main Road, moved into its newoperational office earlier this month afterrenovations.

Abdul Kerbelker, executive manager ofthe CIDC, says the cottage has been exten-

sively refurbished and presents a dramaticand enhanced space from which the CIDCcan run its operations.

“No structural changesweremadeandwehave ensured that the architectural integri-ty of this heritage beauty has been main-tained whilst giving it a completely freshlook and upgrade,” says Kerbelker.

“The passage wall will serve as a memori-al to those who lost their Claremont homesunder the Group Areas Act,” he says.

They are also over the moon that they arebased at street level, which makes themmuch closer to the action in the CBD. “Thisgives us a fresh perspective on where ourinterventions are needed,” says Kerbelker.

The security patrol and cleaning staff arestill operating out of Stadium on Main butthe heart of the CIDC operations is nowbased here.

The CIDC contact details remain:. Emergency toll-free number 0800 200 597. Tel 021 674 0639. Email [email protected]. SMS alerts 31102. www.cidc.co.za. facebook.com/claremontcid. twitter.com/CIDClaremont

David Stoll, chairper-son of the Clare-mont ImprovementDistrict Company,signs the leaseagreement with Cityof Cape Townofficial Ashley Jamesfor the cottage at25 Stegman Road.

This cottage is the newly renovated home for operations of the Claremont ImprovementDistrict Company.


UCT makes spacefor bigger classesTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

The University of Cape Town is buildinga new lecture space that can accommo-

date 400 students in one auditorium.The highly anticipated state-of-the-art

building will help with the courses with alarge number of enrolled students. The con-struction of this new lecture theatre startedin November last year and is expected to becompleted by April next year.The lecture venue will be constructed on

the vacant site south of the HumanitiesGraduate School building.In keeping with the building’s aim to get

a four-star green rating, the demolition ofthe existing house there included the recy-cling and rehabilitation of what was demol-ished.Besides the venue supplying a new 400-

seater lecture theatre it will also be amuch-needed social space and a gateway to thesouthern end of the university campus.The venue will include outdoor and in-

door social spaces. It will also accommodatevideo recordingof lectures for remote learn-ing, video conferencing allowing four cam-eras, showing of full-length films froma sin-gle data projector and voice reinforcementfor presentersChris Briers, director of projects and cap-

ital works, properties and services, says thelecture venue, an auditorium, will an-nounce the corner of University Avenue.Not onlywill this new lecture theatre ben-

efit the students, it will be a bookable venuefor use by others.

It is expected that the venue will be fullyoperational by the start of the second semes-ter in July next year.This venue is additional to the pool of ve-

nues and does not replace any venue.“The constructionof itwas recommended

early in 2010 as an urgent need was identi-fied for a lecture venue to accommodatecourses with large enrolments, without theneed to split the courses,” added Briers.Though a lot of work needs to be done,

nothingwill affect the environment and nota lot of changes will be done.However, the trees that fall within the

footprint of the newbuildingwill be impact-ed. All yellowwood and wild olive trees willbe retained. Large exotic specimens, suchas London planes near the old South busstop, as well as the oak tree that resides onthe corner of University Avenue, will bekept.Thirteen new indigenous and exotic trees

will be planted. This proposed row of treesmight edge the southern boundary of thenew lecture building on Madiba Road.Nine trees that are on the alien invasive

list will be removed. Ninemore exotic treeswill be removed, including eucalyptus, avo-cado and cypress trees.One large indigenouswild peach tree will

be removed, as well as a large coral tree. Al-though the coral treemaybeviewedasvalu-able, it is too close to thewild peach tree andthe new building footprint. A specialist hassuggested that the tree has a wide branchstructure and its branches and roots are in-tertwinedwith other trees andwould there-fore not be successfully relocated.

A new state-of-the-art building on the UCT campus is on its way to provide a large space forlectures. The building should open in the second half of next year.

City hosts holiday programmes for kidsSolar system scavenger hunts, indoorsports and a myriad of recreational activi-tieswill keep thewinter blues away duringthe school holidays.Parents need not worry as the City’s li-

brary and information services depart-ment and the sport, recreation and ameni-ties (SRA) department will host a range ofactivities at many of the City’s communityfacilities in Claremont, Rondebosch andsurrounding areas during the winterschool holidays.Between the two departments, provision

has been made to ensure that pupils willhave more than 1000 holiday programmesto choose from. They will run daily fromMonday 29 June to Friday 17 July.The programmeswill be presented at the

City’s various libraries, community cen-tres, sports fields and parks.

Each of the four districts within the SRAdepartment will use the services of volun-teers to ensure that the programmes areimplemented effectively.“Our goal with these programmes is to

encourage children from communitiesthroughout the city to participate in sport,recreation and special events during theholiday period. Our hope is that such par-ticipation and enjoyment will be the cata-lyst for a long-term interest in physical andrecreational activities,” says BelindaWalker, mayoral committee member forcommunity services and special projects.Indoor programmes include board-

games, gymnastics, rope-skipping, karate,pool, poetry and drama, concerts, indige-nous games, cultural dances, fitness train-ing, talent shows and arts and crafts.Outdoor programmes include five-a-side

Joined hands cando more to helpTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

The Claremont Improvement DistrictCompany (CIDC), Metrorail, the police

and law enforcement joined hands to makesure that homeless people who are settlingon private land stop doing that.A joint operation last week helped with

the ever-increasing number of homelesspeople who are living along the railwayline.Apart from that there was also a crack-

down on illegal traders at the Claremontstation, as well as a clean-up effort at theStanhope bridge. Illegal traders werewarned against selling at the station andthey were told to apply for trading permits.No-one was found at the Stanhope bridge

during thevisit there, but therewerevisiblesigns that people are living there.The Palmyra open plot remains an ongo-

ing problem as dumping is still taking placethere. Brick structures were found there aswell. There were obvious signs that peopleare using the plot as a place to sleep. Eightpeople were found on the space.After removing those people they made

sure that the place is cleaned up and lookas tidy as possible. They try by all meansto discourage people from settling thereagain.Workers of the City’s expanded public

works programme helped to clean up at At-lantic Meat. The street people were warnedto stop parking and washing cars there.The joint operation sent the clear mes-

sage that those who are settling on privatelandwill be removed, hence such joint oper-ations will continue to happen. People inpublic spaces who were obstructing people

from walking were also warned that theywould be removed from those areas.However, knowing that the issue of home-

lessness is an ongoing one and people willcontinue to settle in the area, AbdulKerbelker, executive manager of the CIDC,says forcewill not be used and theCIDCwillcontinue to make sure that they help thosewho live on the street.“We just don’t want people to be settling

on private land or obstructing pathways. Soif we see that is not being followed we willremove those people. We will not use anyforce, that’s why we do it with our socialworker tomake sure that none of the peoplewe find will be manhandled – but be helpedto go back to their communities or to thenearest homes that we work with,” he says.Kerbelker urgesmembers of the public to

donate responsibly. Those that want to helpthe homeless must do so by donating to theNGOs near them.

City workers recently helped to clean up atAtlantic Meat.

Winter Special

Home celebrates 25years of helpingTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

Rosedon House, one of the cen-tres of the Western Cape Cere-

bral Palsy Association, recentlycelebrated 25 years of helpingthose living with cerebral palsy(CP).

This centre in Lansdowne is aresidential care facility which hasbecome a home to 55 adults.

For the past 25 years theRosedonhome has been helping people withCP get on with their day-to-daylives.

CP is a group of permanentmovementdisorders that appear inearly childhood. It is caused by ab-normal development or damage tothe parts of the brain that controlmovement, balance and posture.

Often the cause is unknown andmost of the people who suffer fromit are unable to live independently.

A good number of the Rosedonresidents attend thenearbyVillageWork Centre. For those with high-er levels of disability, there is anoccupational group called OurHope which is presented at theRosedon premises. For this group,creative activities are an integralpart of the daily programme.

Over the last 25 years peoplewith CP have been cared for atRosedon House and the staff be-lieve that what has kept them go-ing is everyone’s love, support andcommitment to the centre and itsresidents.

Osman Shaboodien, chairpersonof Rosedon House, believes the res-idents, staff and parents can bevery proud, as Rosedon House hasgrown from strength to strengthover the past 25 years.

“We have managed to run up tothis day through the love, supportand commitment of the residents

and the staff membersand a legacy that some ofthe people that havepassed on left for thehouse. We are also com-mitted to keeping the fireburning andbrighter for-ever for those who trulyneed our help,” he says.

Shaboodien adds thatRosedon House is a spe-cial place.

“Whenever I walk intoRosedon House I get sucha warm feeling and thatfeeling tells me that I amamongst family who areliving well and happily

together,” he says.Estelle Eksteen, a resident who

has been at Rosedon House for 25years, says she can remember howstrange it felt living there at first.But when the residents started toget to know one another it wasn’tso strange anymore.

“Twenty five years later this ishome and we are all very happythere,” she says.

Two staff members, Dorothy Elyand Belinda September, have eachreceived a long-service award for25 years of service at RosedonHouse.

A cake specially made to celebrate RosedonHouse’s quarter century.

Residents enjoy party food as they celebrate 25 years of Rosedon House's existence.

City pensioners get helpAlmost 6000 old people havebenefited from home-based helpprovided by the City in the firstpart of this year.

Becauseof its success, thepro-gramme will be renewed in thenew financial year.

The City’s social developmentdepartment established the pro-gramme togivebasic care to old-er persons and people with disa-bilities in their homes, explainsSuzette Little, mayoral commit-tee member for social develop-ment and early childhood devel-opment.

“We recruited 125 home-basedcaregivers through the expand-ed public works programme toprovide a range of services toour vulnerable residents. Theyreceived training and then didcommunity profiling, meetingwith various organisations thatare active in their areas to intro-duce themselves and explainwhat their purpose would be,”she says.

This included clinics, the po-lice, old-age homes and organi-sations that help old people.

They then did a door-to-doorinvestigation to identify olderpersons in need.

The primary responsibilitiesof home-based caregivers in-clude community profiling andcollection of data for areas, as-sessment of care needs, aid withreading, helping with mobilityand walking, as well as provid-ing conversation and listening.

Caregivers also help with thepreparation of meals, provide abreak for family members andother caregivers, do light house-keeping and see to personalcare.

These services have been pro-vided in Athlone, Atlantis, Bea-con Valley, Bellville South,Bishop Lavis, Bonteheuwel, Gu-gulethu, Harare, Hanover Park,Lansdowne, Lentegeur, Manen-berg, Masiphumelele, OceanView, Philippi, Rocklands, Ta-felsig and Valhalla Park.

“Our home-based caregivershave done us proud, offering di-rect care and services to 5 557older persons from February toMay alone,” Little says.

Being hospitalised has neverbeen easy.For most kids it is never a walk

in the park as it deprives them ofbeing kids because they don’t playas they should.However many organisations

are working tirelessly to makekids’ stay in hospital a bit better.One such an organisation is the

Rotary Club of Newlands. Earlierthismonth they handed over teddybears to the Red Cross Children’sHospital.These teddy bears were donated

to the burns and breathing disor-der units at the hospital to give asmile to the children.These are not just any teddy

bears; they were lovingly knittedby volunteers in George and CapeTown and donated to the CandiceMolzen Foundation.The Candice Molzen Foundation

was started in memory of CandiceMolzenbyher parents, Bridget andNils. Candice (22) was tragicallykilled in a car accident in 2010. Shewas studying ECD Teaching at theUniversity of Stellenbosch and al-ways had a passion for young chil-dren.At the time of her death she was

funding a young child’s educationfrom her savings.Funds generated from the sales

of these teddy bears are used to ed-ucate disadvantaged young chil-dren.“It was amoving experience giv-

ing a teddy bear to each of the chil-dren who were either sufferingfrommajor burns or breathing dif-ficulties, but also to see the amaz-ing dedication and passion of thedoctors and nursing staff,” AndyIsmay, a Rotarian, says.When each burns’ unit patient is

discharged they receive a present,which is often a teddy bear. Thiseases the anxiety of the child.

Teddy bears wait patiently on the bench to meet their new friends in theRed Cross Children’s Hospital burns and breathing disorders ward.

Mandela Dayfor doing goodThe Claremont Community Police Forum,the Claremont police and the ClaremontImprovement District Company are join-ing hands once again for Madiba Day tomake those who are in need feel better.Celebrated on 18 July to honour former

presidentNelsonMandela the day is set outfor doing good in the community.The organisations are now asking for do-

nations to help them on the day.They are appealing for all sorts of dona-

tions and second-hand goods – from cloth-ing, bedding, kitchen utensils and nappiesto toiletries – from all the businesses in thearea and any members of the public whowish to help them.Their focus this yearwewill be ongather-

ing donations or sponsorships for two orga-nisations, namely De Heide Special CareCentre and Baphumelele.De Heide Special Care Centre provides a

day programme for up to 30 children disa-bled by cerebral palsy. These young peopleare all severely to profoundly disabled andhave severe barriers to learning. Many ofthe children come from very impoverishedhomes. They come from 14 areas, includingBridgetown, Gugulethu, Tambo Village,Manenberg and Hanover Park.Baphumelele in Khayelitsha provides a

place of safety for about 110 children inneed. About half of the organisation’s dailyexpenditure is covered by the government,but this does not cover building costs, staffeducation or other expenses such as cloth-ing, uniforms or shoes. Baphumelele hastaken children staying on the streets ofClaremont into its care and is an importantpartner in homeless care.Those who want to donate or have any

questions about theMandelaDay initiativecan contact Sharon Rome of the Forum on083 690 8226 or Karen Bailey of the Clare-mont Improvement District Company on073 154 9886. Donations in any form or sizeare welcome.

Is there nowhere sacred anymore?Churches, mosques, temples and graveyards were once

holy ground. They were places only the devout dared totread, and they were places that were treasured and re-vered.But no longer.Graveyards have become home to vagrants, with tomb-

stones torn apart to make a quick buck. They have be-come places to attack unsuspecting visitors to their fami-ly resting place.And places ofworship have not faredmuchbetter. They

are now kept locked and bolted, to prevent thieves takingoff with the few possessions within.Prayer times have been tarnished with the fear of petty

theft. The faithful dare not linger in case they aremuggedafter worship.And shockingly, last week in the United States, wor-

shippersweremurdered in a place thatwas once a sanctu-ary. So what is left for those seeking to be closer to theirGod, for those looking for fellowship and a sense of com-munity?You may not believe in the teachings of that church or

worship inside thatmosque, but these institutions are thepillars of our communities.These are the places that offer refuge to the lost, the

desperate and the abused. They are places that teach usright from wrong, tolerance and love, kindness and com-passion.Holiday programmes that keep our children off the

streets are often linked to these places of worship. Manyoffer skills development or life coaching.They are the places we go to celebrate weddings and

births and to mourn the passing of our loved ones.It should fall to each of us to preserve these holy places,

whether you are a believer or not, because to care forthem is to care for our communities.

Poo to you too,you’re inconsiderateI was totally shocked by the rudeness ofa dog owner on the Vlei late Sundayafternoon.I had walked across to the Vlei with

my two granddaughters to climb theirfavourite trees and said: “You can runon ahead.”“No,” said the 11-year-old, “One can’t

run and see to avoid the dog poo so youdon’t step in it.”Which was very true seeing how much

of it was lying around.Then we headed to the children’s park

area and there was a large man walkingwith his large dog a little way behindhim.The dog stopped and did an obviously

big poo, but the man just kept walking.I thought maybe he had not noticed so

caught up with him to tell him, so thathe could pick it up.He obviously did not have a packet

with him and he made it quite clear thathe did not intend to pick up any poothat his dog made.In fact he was so adamant and rude,

maintaining that he would not pick upanything his dog did, and didn’t I haveanything better to do than approach himon this matter.He told me to “get a life” and find

something better to occupy my timewith.I said children use this park and can

step in it. He commented heatedly thathis grandchildren had stepped in dogpoo and they were still alive and whatwas I on about?I said, then why bring his dog here to

the Vlei to do his business, why not doit in his own garden and let his owngrandchildren step in it rather thanmine?He said the trouble with picking up

dog poo was that the packets would clogup the system and it was natural to justleave dog poo around to rot and returnto the earth.And the same problem would occur

with him picking up dog poo in his owngarden.I guess he would rather leave it to rot

on the Vlei than in his own garden –faulty reasoning at best!And off he stalked in the direction of

the yacht club, muttering somethingabout walking on the Vlei for years.My eight-year-old granddaughter

remarked: “Well, Granny, I guess the dogdid do it near a tree, so maybe thechildren at the park won’t walk in it.”I have lived at the Vlei for 44 years

and dog owners never left their dogs’poo around like they do today.Where is the respect that we used to

have back then? It certainly was a betterworld.Maybe we need patrolling around who

can use their time profitably to monitorthis problem instead of harassing thelaw-abiding dog-walking public who pickup their dogs’ poo by saying “You maynot walk your dog off the lead else I willfine you”, which is absolutely ridiculouswhen there is not another soul on theVlei.I saw that happen one day to an older

couple, walking their little dogs, and sawthem being “harassed” by some officialtelling them to go to the beach pastSunrise to walk their dogs – a beachunprotected and where that very samecouple had been attacked before.Let’s get our act together and ensure

that the correct people are apprehended– the ones who are leaving their dog pooaround for unsuspecting children to stepinto.

JEANETTE AIREY,Sandvlei

True coloursshining thruVery soon we will once again hear agentle tap on the door, be greeted with awarm smile or be amazed at the suddengreeting of “Good day, Sir/Madam”.Our lamp posts will be draped in

different colours. We will hear the blareof loud music and dances parading ourstreets. The speeches so well preparedand memorised will be delivered in ourcommunity halls, streets and localpapers.Very soon the local election campaign

will start in all earnest.It always amazes me to hear the same

promises and after five years see so fewresults. It amazes me when even betterpromises are made this time round bythe same people, with even better andbigger promises. What is even moreamazing is the fact that we are bombard-ed with insignificant outcomes, insignifi-cant detailed reports and insignificantfuture plans.What tops all this is the fact that the

very people who do the canvassing (forfree or maybe a prospect of some “bene-fit”) are still where they were five yearsago. If they did move on, their progressis nothing to write home about.The voters who believed them are no

better off than a few years ago.So, during the past period of reign,

where were these “friendly faces”? Whathappened to the much applauded promis-es, the vision and mission statements, thelong-term goals and objectives? Was fiveyears not ample time to make it all cometrue? Where were those who wereentrusted to lead our communities? Arewe still in the desert or are we about toenter the Promised Land?So after all the hype and once again

same drills and fanfare . . . We just all goback to the township life.For another five years.It’s time to seek and vote for the true

leader. The one who stands for truth andrighteousness, the one who is guided bytrue principles, the one who does notseek own gain, but seeks the One inwhom we will all gain.

INFORMAL SETTLEMENTS

Colder andwetter, notbetterASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

A Lavender Hill residentthrough her organisation is

calling on the community toshow their support to thosewhoare battling to keep their homesand clothes dry this winter dueto the rains causing their homesto flood.One organisation in particu-

lar has taken on the plight ofthose in need this winter.

Winter warmerLucindaEvans, founder of the

Philisa Abafazi Bethu women,children and safe house pro-gramme, has created thePhilisawinter warm campaign.And through this campaign

she seeks to help families whoare struggling to keep warm.“This campaign is aimed to

assist children, older persons,disabled persons and womenand men living in informal set-tlements who have been affect-ed by the recent rains.”

Knee-high in waterEvans says that many homes

in the informal settlementshave been affected by the rainand become flooded, leavingfamilies in “terrible” situa-tions.They often have to deal with

the problem on their own.“One week ago I visited the

Overcome informal settlementcamp and one family had tomove from their home becausethey were knee-high under wa-ter. Everything was wet, therewere no dry things in the home.And they could cook as well,”she says.Evans says the importance of

this project is to prevent chil-dren, disabled persons and old-er persons from falling ill as aresult of the cold and due to wetitems in the home.

Food and blankets“We seek to provide to these

families affected by the winterweather blankets, food, such astwo-minute noodles or instant

soup, socks and jerseys,” shesays.Evans says the project is not

only aimed at benefitting fami-lies living in informal settle-ments, but anyone who needshelp or food and blankets.Her organisation is now call-

ing on local businesses, church-es and organisations to helpthem in their campaign by sup-porting them with donations tocontinue this campaign and tohelp those in need.“Weneed blankets, duvets, in-

stant soup, instant noodles, jer-seys, socks, woollen gloves andbeanies or caps and anythingthe community can thinkof thatwill make people feel comforta-ble this winter,” Evans says.

ThousandsThe items will be distributed

to the most needy with the aimbeing to collect 3000 blankets,3000 packets of instant soup andnoodles, 2000 caps, 200 pairs ofgloves, 3000 jerseys (includingchildren’s jerseys of all sizes)and 3000 beanies.Evans says this campaignwill

be a yearly initiative, thereforepeople are welcome to donate atany time of the year.If youwould like to contribute

towards this campaign call021 701 4717.

Girls in communities acrossCapeTownare learning skills

like soldering, as the Micro En-terprise Development Organisa-tion (Medo) rolls out a pro-gramme to encourage women totake up jobs in maths, scienceand engineering.After partneringwith big busi-

ness, Medo identified that thereis a considerable shortage oftechnical skills required to fulfilthe needs of businesses in thiscountry.

Not just boysScience, technology, engineer-

ing andmathematics careers – ofwhich there are scarce skills –represent 8 of the top 10 occupa-tions in demand in South Africa.However, the 2014 matric re-

sults saw only 7.6% of pupilspassing Maths with more than60%, while 5.5% managed thesame in Physical Science.This need gave rise to an ambi-

tiousplan topullmoreyouth intothese underskilled industries.The plan focuses on teaching

schoolgirls technical skills. Theprogramme will see Medolaunching the first privatelyowned satellite in Africa, whichthe pupils will have a part insending to space.The ultimate aim is for these

young women to construct thepayload to be launched with thesatellite early next year.A group of young women from

schools around Cape Town were

taught some of these skills lastweek in a workshop. By the endof the day each participant hadbuilt and soldered their own ro-bot that can be controlled inmovement, light and sound.Tamaryne Bimray, who at-

tended the workshop last week,says the new skills empowergirls in a field traditionally asso-ciated with men.“The programme inspires

girls to create things that wouldusually be made by boys. Welearnt to solder a circuit board,adding a battery, resistor andlight,” she explains.Learning about engineering

andmaking things are skills thatshould be rolled out to all wom-en, believes Maymoonah Steg-mann, another participant.“More girls should learn this.

It’s not just boys that can do it,”she says.

SatelliteThe programme will run a se-

ries of workshops to introduceyoung women to electronics andthe basics of practical science,followed by a camp during theschool holidays during whichthey will design and test theirsatellite experiments. Finally,pupils will be offered holiday in-ternships to finalise the designsand build the satellite.“The intention of this pro-

gramme is not to be a once-off; itis to be the start of at least a dec-ade-long drive to inspire youngpeople to enter the science andtechnical fields,” saysMedoCEOJudi Sandrock.

Brandon wins canoe route changeThe Western Cape Canoe

Union’s (WCCU) two-day K1canoe race, the Pink Lady

Drakenstein, held on the Berg Riv-er last weekend, was hosted thisyear by the Paarl Canoe Club un-der the leadershipof both chairper-son Eric Farringer and the PinkLady’s Rob Meihuizen.It was a well organised event

with some 150 paddlers takingpart.Notwithstanding the minimal

rainfall that the Western Cape hadreceived before the start of therace, the Berg River was runningvery low – so much so that theplanned first day of racing fromPaarl to Hermon (45km), waschanged to a route from GoudaBridge to Bridgehouse (30 km).The second planned day of pad-

dling also changed from a start onthe Berg River dam and end inPaarl (21 km) to a route from Paarlto Skooltjie near Wellington(23 km).The race was won by Peninsula

Canoe Club’s Brandon van derWalt.Given the success of this event,

there is no doubt that WCCU will

call upon Paarl Canoe Club to re-peat the success again next year.
