DESPITE threats that car guards at aMeadowridge shopping centre would beretrenched by the end of June, they canstill be found at their usual spots.

A cloud has been hanging over the contin-ued employment prospects of Park ’n Shopcar guards who in the past week have beenthreatened that they will be losing their jobs.

The empty threats – including that Sundaywas allegedly supposed to be their last day forwork at Park ’n Shop – have sparked the at-tention of enraged residents and customersof Meadowridge.

A resident, who only wants to be known asMs I Richardson, says: “They’ve been stand-ing here for years and they have never causedanyone trouble. They are so good to the elder-ly people.”

Many similar comments have been heardthis week from customers who are angryabout their loyal car guards who will be puton the street if they should lose their jobs.

The Park ‘n Shop car guards, who all saythey have refugee status, express their wishto find alternative employment.

“My English is not so good. I struggle withthe translation of my work,” says VincentKasanda, who is a qualified electrician.

For many of these women and men, this job

is what keeps them and their families afloat.Car guard Antoine Minani says: “Jobs are

not easy to find, I have a degree in accountingand business, but it is not valid in this coun-try. This job gives me money; if there is nomoney, there’s no house and no food for myfamily.”

Another customer expressed her gratitudetowards the car guards, saying: “We can al-ways count on them. If we need help, they as-sist and if we forget something in our shop-ping carts we can be sure they will pick it upand return it.”

The support generated by the communitytowards the car guards has not gone unno-ticed. “I would like to thank the community

for all the support they have given us thisweek,” says Minani.

According to the car guards, as of Sunday,their previous employer – a man known onlyas Jeremy – no longer has a contract withMeadowridge Park ’n Shop. Their supervisorwill now report directly to centre manage-ment until further arrangements are made.

But, says centre manager Vanessa Sillifant:“Everything will remain the way it is. As faras I know there is nothing to report on.”

Let the buyer bewareLet the buyer bewareDear reader,

When it comes to our health,happiness and well-being, we’reprepared to pay any price and ex-plore every option.

And when conventional meth-ods don’t work, we consider alter-natives, often out of desperation –opening the door to exploitationfor monetary gain.

I have heard of some bizarrepractices, which people are will-ing to pay good money to take partin, with the hope of being emotion-ally and psychologically cured af-terwards. Ridicule, insults, humil-iation and verbal abuse form partof the “therapy” offered by onesuch programme.

Then there’s the plethora ofhealers that have popped up likeweeds all over our city in the pastfew years.

They usually go by names suchas “Doctor”, “Chief”, “Queen” or“Mama”, and while the claimsthey make may seem ludicrous tosome, for others who believe andare desperate, they represent achance at love, health, employ-ment, financial security, happi-ness ... Clearly their businessesare supported, as several rent inthe pricey southern suburbs,place regular advertisements andpay for the print and dissemina-tion of fliers.

The promises made in these adslure many unsuspecting people in-to spending their last penny on avisit to healers in hopes of it bring-ing them the job, husband or hugelottery win that would turn theirlives around forever.

While People’s Post respects ourreaders’ right as consumers to

make informed decisions when itcomes to theproducts and serviceswe advertise in our papers.

We also uphold and share in theburden of responsible advertising.

The revenue from advertising isessential to our newspapers’ sus-tainability and growth, but whenit comes to ads of thisnature, thereare considerations.

In the same way our editorialcontent is scrutinised for facts,fairness and accuracy, so too areour adverts.

It is in this light we re-affirmyour freedom of choice. You havethe right to decide. But, let thebuyer beware.

Thank you to People’s Post read-er Colin Taylor for your inputaround this important issue. Be-fore I sign off, allow me to sharethis story with you...

Being naturally curious, wewant to try out things and some ofus may have visited a healer forthe experience, or if you’re a jour-nalist, in the name of research...

No names provided but this isthat journalist’s experience:

. Visit healer in southern sub-urbs, assess consulting rooms anddeclare them light, clean andabove board.

. Met by “Mama” somethingand have consultation. No feepaid.

. On second visit, “Mama” isjoined by her husband, the “Doc-tor”, a tall, dark, authoritative-looking man. Goosebumps.

. All go behind a curtain to acandle-lit room resembling deep-est, darkest Africa Terror. “Doc-tor” sits on one side of drum with“Mama” and journalist opposite.

. “Doctor” explains processwhich entails calling on the ances-tors to tell the journalist what iswrong with her and give a cure.

. Candles are snuffed. Journal-ist seesher life flashingbeforeher.

. “Doctor” starts invoking theancestors and commands journal-ist to answer ancestors.

. “Doctor” voice fades and is re-placed by strange voice (ancestor)who begins conversation withmortified journalist who croaksone word replies.

. After eternity, ordeal endswith journalist told to buy threeblack cows and five red chickens(something like that; at that point,accuracy checks flew off the ra-dar)

. Fee R80. Formerly fearlessjournalist happily parts with R100and flees.

Jewish bone marrow neededJewish bone marrow neededNATHAN ADONIS

A MEDICAL deck of cards isstacked against a teenagegirl who needs special in-

tervention to save her life.

Maike Förtsch (19) is cocooned in anisolation ward at Groote Schuur Hos-pital.

A very rare form of leukaemia –with a 0.0 % immunity – puts Maikeat severe risk of infection.

Removing her glasses to rub herthumb across her eyes, Maike’s moth-er, Carine Förtsch, says: “It’s likeshe’s empty.”

A donation of stem cells with a Jew-ish make-up will give her a fightingchance of survival.

“Her great grandmother fled Ger-many before the war,” she explains.

To see if there is a stem cell match,she says, requires “just a simple bloodtest”. The closer the match is to 10 thegreater the chances of a perfectmatch.

She frequently removes a crumbledwhite tissue from her pocket. “Shecan’t be a normal teenager.”

The closest this reporter could getto Maike was to stand at an outer doorwhich protects her from any cross-contamination.

For Maike, it is the small things thatmatter. Straining to smile, Carineputs her glasses back on. “The biggesttreat for her is feeling the sun shiningthrough her window onto her bed.”

Initially misdiagnosed with Atten-tion Deficit Disorder (ADD), the Fört-sch family was warned the medica-tion would lead to headaches, but“they got worse each day.

She has always been pale, but I no-

ticed she was paler than usual”.Blue bruises marked her body and

she was constantly exhausted.They now believe she may have con-

tracted tick bite fever. After moreblood tests, she was diagnosed withleukaemia in November.

Maike and her family – from Wind-hoek, Namibia – sought treatment inCape Town since then.

For three weeks Carine hasn’t beenable to kiss, hug or touch her daughteras they wait for a positive match.

Previous donor matches have yield-ed no fruit.

“Often you will find a family mem-ber who is a match, but I have twosons and neither of them match eachother or my daughter.”

Maike’s mother looks into the sun-light and wipes away a tear. “Thereare so many lives who don’t make it.”

Support is her lifeline. “The firsttime she lost her hair, her boyfriendjokingly patted her scalp,” says Car-ine. “I wish for every girl to havesomeone like him for support at timeslike these.”

Another cold reality hits. “Theworst thing . . . it broke my heart ...my daughter won’t be able to go to hermatric ball.”

A perfect bone marrow match willgive Maike simple pleasures. Shewants to dance, feel the wind whenhorseriding and to kiss her mother.

What is acute myeloid leukae-mia?

Professor Nicolas Novitzky, ofGroote Schuur Hospital’s haematolo-gy department, ascribes acute mye-loid leukaemia (AML) to the “instabil-ity of genomes in the stem cells”.

This is when white blood cells – the

‘soldiers’ of the body – are over-manu-factured and less red blood cells –which carry oxygen in the body – areproduced. The soldiers are producedtoo rapidly and die off faster, leavingthe body defenceless.

There is hope, says Novitzky. “Bet-ter treatment is available and patientslike Maike receive chemotherapy andawait stem cell transplants.”

But, he adds: “It is still a fatal can-cer.”

The cause of the instability is un-known, he says.

What to do to become a bone mar-row donor:

Donors need to be fully committed,be in good health and need to meet thebasic requirements of a blood donor.

SA Bone Marrow Registry DeputyDirector Terry Schlaphoff says: “Itdoes help to have representation fromall population groups as well as do-nors with multi-ethnic backgrounds.”

During the bone marrow trans-plant, the patient’s own bone marrowis destroyed to accommodate the do-nor stem cells. The body then pro-grammes the matching donor cells toproduce healthy bone marrow. As aresult, the patient may take on thehair and eye colour of the donor.

There are currently about 19.5 mil-lion donors registered, but still somepatients suffer.

“The process is not invasive orpainful,” says Schlaphoff.

Once a donor is registered theymay be called to donate stem cells.Onedayoffwork isneededanddona-tions may cover the costs of the pro-cedure.

Call the Sunflower Fund to registeron 0800 121 082.

THE Metro Police may be absorbed intothe police service – if government gives itthe green light.

The DA has reportedly vowed to fight thismove by the ANC to create a “single policeservice”, DA MP Dianne Kohler Barnard saidin a statement.

People’s Post interns Tarren-Lee Habel-gaarnandLuzukoZinipolled readers toheartheir views.

Should Metro and cops merge?

LET’S BE SAFE: Mal­ickah Leen sayssafety is important.“It really makes nodifference. They areall police and theyshould be under onebanner. If it will notaffect the police orMetro police nega­tively it is fine. Ifthey will be doingtheir jobs and pro­tecting us from crim­inals, I don’t see a problem with it.”

Photos: Luzuko Zini and Tarren­Lee Habelgaarn

IT’S ALL THESAME: AviweMbitishwa alsobelieves all po­lice are the same.“I believe it is finethat they canwork together tofight crime; theyare all police.Why can’t theyget together andfight crime? Ifgovernment does that, crime will go down.”

BENEFITS ALL: Ip­tishaam Hunter thinksthey should focus onfighting crime, theneveryone will benefit.“My bakkie was stolentwo weeks ago. I be­lieve if they (the MetroPolice and the police)were together at leastmy bakkie would havebeen back. I really be­lieve if they would worktogether it would be forthe best for everyone –and I’m not saying thatbecause my bakkiewas stolen.”

VISIBILITY KEY:Patrick O’Sheafeels that thingsshould stay asis, but the policecan learn fromthe Metro Po­lice, who are“more visiblethan the policebecause theypatrol all thetime”.

CHEAPER: Mo­nique Ledgersays it will bemore cost effec­tive for thecountry to haveone form of au­thority. “In myopinion it will becheaper tomaintain andrun one unitthan have twoseparate au­thorities. It isless admin andwill be better tomonitor per­formance.

ENFORCING THELAW: Bongani Ndlo­vu thinks it will be agreat way to keepthe community safeby combining thestrengths of bothauthorities. “It canbe a good partner­ship because thepolice are good atsolving crime whilethe Metro Police are good at enforcingthe law.”

ASSISTANCE: Adri­an Williams feels theMetro Police aremore helpful thanthe police when itcomes to assistingthe community.They are also fasterto respond. “TheMetro Police are al­ways willing to helpwhen we need them and are quick tosort out the problem.”

CORRUPTION: LionelPeterson is afraid thatif the Metro Police getsabsorbed into the po­lice they may be influ­enced by the corrup­tion among police offic­ers. “My biggest fear isthat the Metro Policewill be influenced bythe police because thepolice aren’t always agood example to theyouth.”

Threat to ‘kill baboons’Threat to ‘kill baboons’TERESA FISCHER

IT IS an offence to maim or injure any an-imal, warns the SPCA. That goes for ba-boons, too.

People should, therefore, not attempt toshoot, hit or in any way hurt baboons.

They ask that residents instead allow theprofessionals to resolve the problem. Thiswas noted in a press release issued by theSociety on Friday.

But sitting back and waiting may be ask-ing too much of a Smitswinkel Bay residentwho phoned People’s Post threatening to“shoot at problematic baboons”.

Braam Spamers says a raid by a largetroop left his house devastated.

But, he says, the final straw came whena large male baboon, he calls Clive, jumpedonto a six-year-old girl, growling at her.

“If they don’t take control of their ba-boons,” Spamer says “we are going to startkilling them.”

He adds he is an animal lover, but is wor-ried others will do worse.

“My family is living in fear,” he says.He warns: “These animals are not safe,”

adding others have an even more violent ap-proach than himself.

In contrast to the SPCA appeal, FelicityPurchase, chairperson of Subcouncil 19, re-sponds: “You may defend yourself and yourfamily. There is a particularly aggressive ba-boon – in fact two – in the Smits troop. Ihave seen this behaviour first-hand and cantestify (to it). They have attacked anothermember of the community by jumping onhim.”

There are no burglar bars on the windowsof Spamers’s house, which he rents.

Purchase says burglar bars are “irrele-vant”, and adds that the baboons have “at-tacked people on the beach and on thepaths”.

“They attack people as they get out of theircars. The threat is a real one. People arescared and for a long time nothing has beendone to manage the problem animals.”

She adds people are trying to protect them-selves with whichever means at their dispos-al. “I have seen paintball guns, pellet gunsand catapults; even pepper guns and tazers

and fireworks. You can’t blame them,” shesays.

“It is not a good solution and people arereally afraid for their safety and that of theirchildren.”

The SPCA, however, implores all resi-dents who find themselves interacting withbaboons to exhibit understanding and toler-ance towards the creatures who share theirspace.

They say it is important to remember ba-boons are extreme opportunists and it is im-portant to not provide temptation to them.

Spamers’ neighbour, Craig Clifton, pointsout he never sees fines being imposed on peo-ple who feed the animals on the road.

Clifton feels baboons are becoming morebrazen because they have lost their fear ofhumans. He says the animals try and raidhis house about twice a day, but he has madeit difficult for them to succeed by putting upburglar bars.

Dr Elzette Jordan, the City of Cape Townspokesperson on baboon issues, says if resi-dents were to injure or kill a baboon andthere were witnesses a court case may re-sult. The outcome of the court case would de-termine the penalty as it is illegal to kill ormistreat a baboon.

Jordan says it is not unusual for a baboonto jump on a child, adding it “might not nec-essarily be an act of aggression either”. Jor-dan says close encounters are always poten-tially dangerous.

She says it is recommended to have bur-glar bars on windows with gaps less than8cm should you live in a baboon affected ar-ea.

Jordan says the newly-appointed serviceprovider will assist in keeping baboons outof all urban areas.

This month the SPCA Wildlife Unit ex-pects a rise in instances of human/baboonconflict due to theabsence of a ba-boon monitoringservice provider.

The City of CapeTown will be uti-lising its ownrangers to provideamonitoring serv-ice in the interim.

HIV test failureWHAT message does government send whena banned HIV test kit is used at State hospi-tals?

Two years ago, SA’s HIV/Aids status wascause for alarm.

The Country Progress Report on the Decla-ration of Commitment on HIV/Aids carriesa forewordbynationalHealthMinisterDrPa-kishe Aaron Motsoaledi.

It reads that SA is “one of the countriesmost severely affected by the Aids epidemic,with the largest number of HIV infections”.

The report repeated a UNAIDS estimatewhich put the total number of persons livingwith HIV in SA at 5,7 million.

The primary prevention goal at the time ofthe report was for SA to “reduce the nationalHIV incidence rate by 50% by 2011”.

This “ambitious target” would be achievedthrough “prevention” as government’s main-stay and “most sustainable response to HIVand Aids”.

Fast-forward to March 2012 when aR22,5 million tender was reportedly awardedto a Durban company for an HIV test kitwhich was banned by the World Health Or-ganisation (WHO) two months previously.

The company, Pantech, would reportedlysupply 4,5 million test kits – SD Bioline – overthe next two years to government hospitals.

The tender was given the green light afterthe National Institute for Communicable Dis-eases (NICD) approved the kits.

WHO found the test kits have faulty results.Media reports indicate the WHO stated in

its advisory that governments should “cancelany pending procurement and no new pro-curements be initiated until further notice”.

Saying it was “not necessary to withdrawthe product”, a company spokesperson re-portedly said there “were only 66 000 faultytests”. Pantech, said the spokesperson, has a“historical comfort with the product (which)has never let us down before”.

The question begs: even if there was onlyone faulty test kit, who at Pantech and in gov-ernment would trust the results of that kit?

Policing an essential serviceINTERNATIONALDayagainstDrugAbuseandIllicit Trafficking on Tuesday was establishedby the UN general assembly in 1987.

It serves as a reminder of the goals agreed toby member states of creating an internationalsociety free of drug abuse.

South Africans have been found guilty of be-ing drug mules in various incidents recently. InCape Town, where the drug pandemic hasgrown, mayor Patricia de Lille launched theCity’s Alcohol and Drug Prevention Pro-gramme. It took place at the Proteaville Recrea-tion Centre in Bellville South, where more than1 200 youths at risk were bused in and given in-formation focused on prevention and alterna-tives to substance abuse.

The campaign slogan Be smart, Don’t Startwas the name of the rap jingle recorded by DeLille, under the guidance of popular rap artistDJ Ready-D and Khayelitsha hip hop artistKanyi Mavi.

The programme is imperative amid fears ofyouths – especially those with working parents– being tempted by drugs during the winterschool holidays.

With seven visible community policing sectorforums under his command, Nyanga police

Cluster Commander Major General Robert Rob-berts launched a series of public meetings or im-bizos. These were held in, among others, Ath-lone, Kenwyn, Rondebosch East, Lansdowne,Manenberg, Gugulethu and Langa.

The aim is to engage all stakeholders – includ-ing law enforcement agencies like the Metroand traffic police; school communities, educa-tors, learners and parents; faith-based and civicorganisations; crèches; residents and business-es – to participate positively in discussing anti-crime strategies and current trends in criminalactivities. During question-and-answer ses-sions the community has the opportunity tovoice their grievances and comments directlyto senior police management.

When previous national police commission-ers Jacki Selebi and Bheki Cele displayed a poorpublic image through their misconduct and sub-sequent dismissal, the imbizos and the appoint-ment of new National Police CommissionerGeneral Riah Phiyega is welcome.

It heralds a new season of credible visiblecommunity policing to regain credible publicconfidence in the essential services rendered bypolice.MARK KLEINSCHMIDT

This is how things can workTHE gravy train folks must build shelters forall the homeless, this includes the sex workers.No-one sleeps outside in this cold and wetweather.

At night the police must round up the home-less and take them to their shelters. All dogs andcats must be licensed and strays must be round-ed up by the SPCA.

The water and electricity bills go on the taxes.All citizens pay taxes.

The gravy train must cap petrol at, say, R5 alitre and subsidise the rest.

I see the bigger banks now also have loan cen-tres. Freeze the accounts when customers be-come unemployed. Period.OP HERMANUS

Small townsgoing to drinkTHE Health Minister is concernedabout the liquor consumed in SouthAfrica. Perhaps he should look intosmall towns in the Karoo wherethere are three liquor stores in asmall town and various illegal she-beens where half the men are inca-pable of holding a job because ofdrink.

They work for a few hours, justenough to buy the next bottle of al-cohol. And that is what happens toa lot of the small towns.

Even though the ANC is runningthose places, that is to say theyshould be in charge, but alas theyare only interested when it fillstheir pockets.

You are worried, Mr Minister, soyou should (be) because alcohol isdestroying the moral fibre of our so-ciety.RALPH KRALL

Use adulteducatorsIF THERE is a shortage of teachersevery year, why doesn’t the educa-tion department employ the adulteducators? Surely they can do thesame work as the mainsteam teach-ers. They have also studied at andgraduated from universities.

The education system in theWestern Cape should be relookedat. I would love to hear the com-ments from Donald Grant.

I hope for 2013 some agreementcould be reached.SUE-ELLEN LEE VERGOTINE

Your SMSes. There have been a lot of suspicious vehi-cles and people roaming the streets of Berg-vliet in the early hours of the morning lately– especially in the Ladies Mile Road area.Well done to all the committed staff at Kir-stenhof police station who handle every sin-gle matter with such efficiency and dedica-tion. You guys deserve a medal! Keep up thegood work. It’s an absolute pleasure to dealwith you all. If the rest of our police forcefollow the brilliant example of Kirstenhof,we will combat far more crime in all areasin the future. Isobel

. How can Warrant Officer (Rodney)Franks say it is a civil matter? These crimi-nals are stealing under false pretences. Doyour job, open a case and investigate it!

. We read so many serious complaintsagainst the Diep River police. Who is sup-posed to be investigating this?

. Now that we are paying 7,06% more forrefuse removal I hope my wheelie bin willbe returned to the front of my house afteremptying where it is found every week. HAThomas

. South Africa was once a beautiful coun-try. Now this country has become the havenfor squatter camps (such as) Blikkiesdorp,“I want”, drug dealing, stealing and no lawand order.

. Jacob Zuma really loves his countryand cares so much for our well-being thathe has bought a R2 billion Boeing 777 whichseats 300 passengers. Did he ever stop tothink just maybe the money could rather beused on improving the lives of the people inour country? I guess his ego is far more im-portant than those who have nothing.

My views on the persistent baboon debateI WRITE as chairman of the Trust whosepurpose is to protect baboons and educatethe public with regard to their activitiesand environment.

Jenni Trethowan has been a fantastic ad-vocate for the Trust and the baboons forover 20 years and continues to be our mainspokesperson, but I feel that I also have tospeak out at this juncture.

Continually it is expressed by ProfessorO’Riain of the Baboon Research Unit atUCT, and by various individuals in the “au-thorities” involved in managing baboons,that baboons are the perpetrators in attack-ing humans. These views are constantly ex-pounded in comments to the press, TV in-terviews, and communications within the

baboon-related authorities and to the pub-lic. In recent communications among theauthorities – that I have seen – I would re-spond to two continually recurring expres-sions:

. “... to fix a current situation in whicha law abiding tourist finds a baboon ontheir back seat”.

If the tourist was law-abiding then whyis a baboon on his back seat? Is it not thetourist who must have been breaking thelaw by having his car stationary and un-locked; his doors or windows open; the au-thorities not monitoring the baboons tokeep them away from tourists; the signageinstructing the tourists not adequate? Mypoint is that either the tourist or the author-

ities were breaking the law, and not the ba-boon.

. “I think we all accept that humans arethe problem”.

So why kill the baboons?We state categorically that if the authori-

ties would simply uphold the laws and pro-tocols that they have been mandated to cre-ate and enact then the tourists and otherhumans would be protected; our heritagewould continue to exist; the baboons wouldremain unharmed; and the area wouldprosper from greater tourism finances anda more beautiful landscape full of our indig-enous flora and fauna.SIMON JAMIESONBaboon Matters Trust chairperson

Leading a green revolutionLeading a green revolutionTUCKED away behind Ped-dlars on the Bend, there is aflourishing organic veggiegarden fringed with a coupleof wooden huts which housethe Soil for Life Foundationstaffers.

Pat Featherstone, the drivingforce behind Soil for Life, re-cently organised an “Eat for theEarth and Help Save the World”veggie lunch and raw food demoin a folksy wooden lecture hutand invited “greenies” to eat forthe earth. People were also asked to makedonations online to Soil for Life.

“Donations have rolled in from 120events being held in private homes allover the Cape,” said Pat who plans to holdanother lunch on 16 October, World FoodDay in collaboration with Compassion inWorld Farming.

This tall, gorgeous earth mother said:“The world is a fragile miracle in the bio-sphere. Microbes, plants and mammals aredependent on the sun, water, air and earth,but the world is on the edge of no returndue to the rising population, climatechange, food and water shortages, threat ofwars and the widening gap between thewealthy and the poor.”

While we munched through salads,sprouts and raw pizza in the lushness ofConstantia, field workers from Soil for Lifeorganised similar events in KTC and Lav-ender Hill, to raise awareness about eatinghealthy, low cost meat-free meals – likebeans, lentils blended with organic veg-

gies. The township folkwere surprised at how goodthe meat-free meals tastedand how cheap they wereto prepare.

For eight years, Pat andher team of dedicated help-ers have been tackling foodsecurity issues “one shackat a time” . They teach peo-ple in under-privilegedcommunities how to startfood gardens by recyclingkitchen waste, paper, card-board, etc., to build and im-

prove the soil, conserve water and reducethe amount of rubbish being sent to theoverloaded landfills. “Everyone can growsome fresh, chemical-free food in theirhome to boost their health,” she said.

“A few herbs and greens can be grown inpots, or window boxes and added to saladsand soups.”

There are now dozens of organic gardensfarmed by women and unemployed peoplein most of the poorer areas. Soil for Lifeteaches people how to turn the dustbowlsaround community centres, schools andwaste land areas into flourishing veggiegardens. They also show people how tomake preserves, chutneys and crafts (fromrecycled plastics). This simple plan has putfood on the tables of many hungry house-holds resulting in better nourished familiesand children. Soil for Life provides thetraining, the seeds, the tools, and other ba-sics, plus a small dedicated crew to overseethe gardens until farmers are self-sufficient.

Pat’s goal for 2014 is to establish 3 000

food gardens, but it costs R500 or more tosupply the materials to establish one homegarden. By teaching people to nurture thesoil and grow their own food, Soil for Lifehas improved the lives of hundreds ofwomen who otherwise would be unem-ployed and lacking in confidence. On thewebsite www.soilforlife.co.za., there are in-spiring stories of women whose lives havebecome productive and profitable thanks to

this training.A donation of just R167 a month pays for

one person to be trained in a gardening andbusiness skills programme. (Call 021 7944982 for details). Funds are also raised fromGrow to Live workshops held in the Soilfor Life garden in Brounger Lane, Constan-tia, for those who wants to learn how togrow green food organically and economi-cally. Visit www.soilforlife.co.za.

Office banterOffice banterat the Baxterat the BaxterAWARD-WINNING visual theatre compa-ny, FTH:K performs their latest produc-tion, OfficeBLOCK, at the Baxter GoldenArrow Studio from Tuesday 10 until Sat-urday 21 July.

Fresh from having won a 2011 Fleur du CapAward for Innovation in Theatre, the compa-ny takes a look at life around the office watercooler, through a series of captivating vi-gnettes that lift the lid on the tyranny of con-formity and the culture of corporate greed inOfficeBLOCK. Set in the seemingly familiarworld of white-collar workers and dreary of-fice surroundings, everything is business asusual – or is it?

“With scenes such as The Boys’ Club andThe Art of War, we explore how power, greed,ambition and discrimination can inform andcorrupt life within the workplace,” says artis-tic director, Jayne Batzofin.

The play features seasoned company mem-bers Marlon Snyders, Christopher Beukesand Sinethemba Mgebisa, who have per-formed in productions such as Quack! andShortcuts.

Joining them on stage is Asanda Rilityana,who was most recently seen at the Baxter inMhla Salamana, for which she scooped a BestActress nomination in the Zabalaza Awards.

The company, whose signature style ofnon-verbal theatre encourages audiences to“listen with your eyes”, works with both deafand hearing performers.

OfficeBLOCK runs at 19:00 every evening,with a matinee on Saturday 21 July at 14:00.Tickets cost R85 for Friday and Saturdayevening shows, R60 to other performancesand concessions of R40 for block bookings,students, schools and senior citizens.

Dig deep and help feed the poorNATHAN ADONIS

DO YOUR bit to help feed the poor thiswinter.

Shoprite and Royco sponsor two mobilesoup kitchens, donating 60 000 cups betweenHout Bay and Mitchell’s Plain, but it is notenough to sustain this needed communityservice.

Children served soup at an Eastridge soupkitchen may be left hungry if no help is of-fered soon.

Esmeralda Maart has been running theMitchell’ Plain soup kitchen which has of-fered daily servings for lunch.

Lack of funding has Maart working withone hand tied behind her back. She is onlyable to serve soup two to three days duringthe week for now.

But Shoprite and Royco jumping in once amonth is not enough to feed hungry mouths.

Learners from surrounding schools,creches, the unemployed, elderly and disa-bled are just some who benefit from the soupkitchen.

“I do it for the children,” says Maart.“To see them being fed makes me happy.

I’ve never come across people fighting forfood.”

Churches in the area provide some helpand ease the load for Maart and her friends.

Maart started the soup kitchen two yearsago and her good nature feeds an average of1 000 people a month.

Most of the people come from surroundingareas in Mitchell’s Plain, but residents ofKhayelitsha walk to the soup kitchen as well.

Maart wakes up at 6:00 every morning andis busy preparing soup by 7:00.

They serve one cup per person and have tomake 410 litres each day.

“I help out at soup kitchens in Rocklandsevery Tuesday,” she says.

Her struggling soup kitchen has notstopped Maart fighting for other feedingschemes.

She hopes to help sustain other soup kitch-

ens by finding corporate sponsors.Maart’s biggest thanks goes to hawkers in

her area that provide her with vegetables forthe soup. Adams Butcher and Metro Butcherhave al;so been supporting her.

Lisa Ronquest, Director of Research andDevelopment at Mars Africa says: “In a coun-try where only one in five families are foodsecure, we believe that the communitiesserved by soup kitchens benefit significant-ly.”

“Children with iron deficiency performworse on educational tests and are less likelyto attend school,” she says.

Anyone wanting to help can contact Maarton (021) 391 9070.

LIAM MOSES

OVER 500 of South Africa’s best rhythmicgymnasts converged on the UCT sportshall for the inaugural South African Gymfor Life Challenge at the weekend.

The challenge saw gymnasts of all ages,from all nine provinces of SA and neighbour-ing countries such as Mozambique, competefor the chance to take part in the World Gymfor Life Challenge in Cape Town next year

The first round of performances in thechallenge started on Friday with the 24 teamsvying for medal places. One of ten gold med-als secured their passage to the final round.

Although the competition has competitiveelement to it, Elizabeth Cameron Smith, CEOof the South African Gymnastics Federation(SAGF), says that the tournaments main aimis to develop and transform the sport.

“We using it for development purposes,while it links up with the federation’s trans-formation programme and what we are doingin all the provinces,” said Smith.

“It’s a great opportunity because it allowseveryone to take part – they can competewhether they are two people, 50 people or 100people.”

The top prize at the competition was even-tually won by the Ocean Rhythmic Gymnas-tics club from Durban.

However, Smith believes that the biggestvictory achieved at the event was that twoteams, who both only started gymnastics,last year made it into the final ten and willnow compete at the World Challenge next

year. The two teams, one from Langa and theother from the Astra School for children withphysically and learning disabilities in Mon-tana started gymnastics as part of the Chal-lenges Legacy Programme.

The programme, which launch in May lastyear, saw six trainers employed by the SAGFwith funding provided by the City of CapeTown.

The trainers trained community leaders tobecome coaches in several areas across themetropole.

In total, the programme saw 210 communi-ty leaders trained into coaches in 14 differentareas around Cape Town. It involved over1 000 fledging gymnasts.

A total of 160 newly trained gymnasts wenton to compete at the challenge this weekend,the youngest of whom was only four-years-old, while the oldest was 70.

Smith added the programme would contin-ue after the World Challenge next year. “It’sto spread gymnastics into the townships. Wehave employed six full-time coaches, who gointo the community and they train the lead-ers. They train the trainer. Those coachesthen help the coaches to give classes to thechildren.”

“The beauty of the legacy programme isthat it will continue after 2013. You keep thechildren busy and you keep them off thestreets.”

The Gym for Life World Challenge will behosted at the Cape Town International Con-ventionCentre fromWednesday10 toSunday14 July 2013. The tournament will featureteams from 33 different countries.

LIAM MOSES

FALSE BAY are training their sights onSK Walmers (SKW) as they go in searchof much needed log points to ensure theirsurvival in the Western Province clubrugby Super League A.

The Constantia-based club were on the re-ceiving end of a 33-point drubbing in theirmatch against Hamiltons in Green Point onSaturday, and currentlyhover just above therelegation zone on the log.

Hamiltons outscored False Bay by seventries to two and slotted two penalties to winthe game 47-14, but the victory margin couldhave been greater had the Hammies kickersnot missed three conversion attempts.

Despite the heavy defeat, False Bay coachChris Hewetson was in high spirits after thegame, admitting that a victory for his sidewould have come against the odds. “I’m notupset at all – it’s not one of the games we real-ly focus on. We were plagued by a lot of inju-ries very early into the game,” said Hewet-son.

“Generally the conditions made it really,really tough. Our steppers couldn’t step andget off the mark. Our scrum suffered a littlebit, but we are look forward to next weekwhen we actually target SKW as a game wewant to win.”

A win would definitely have come as a sur-prise, but Hewetson’s team looked entirelycapable of staging an upset at several stagesof the contest.

Bay were at their most effective whenlaunching daring attacks from inside theirown half or spreading the ball to their back-line, which kept the heavier Hamiltons packon the move.

However, Hewetson’s chargers were even-tually let down by a handful of errors – onwhich the home team capitalised – and theirfailure to make first-time tackles.

The visitors left Green Point empty hand-ed after failing to secure a bonus point, andthey now sit dangerously close to the bottomtwo places on the log – currently occupiedby Villager and Tygerberg.

Hewetson said that his team would needto pick their battles if they are to avoid thedrop at the end of the season. “I think thebottom four or five in this league need to beworried. At any given time you might justscalp one of the big guys, but you’ve got toplay against Durb-Bell, Maties, UCT andHammies,” said Hewetson.

“They will make sure that you don’t get abonus point. Of the bottom four, I don’t thinkanybody is safe. It’s a matter of trying to getbonus points and beating the guys youshould beat.”

Although Bay are still largely in charge oftheir own fate, and are confident of main-taining their Super League A status, theywill need to gather as many points as possi-ble from their remaining fixtures.

SKW are currently in the midst of mid-sea-son revival, having lost for the first time insix games on Saturday. They were defeated31-12 by table-toppers Durb-Bell.

Walmers beat Bay 39-21 in the reverse fix-ture at Philip Herbstein in Constantia lastmonth, but Hewetson believes that neitherform nor recent history will matter when thetwo sides meet.

“It’s always been a gamble between thetwo. It’s always a bit of an arm wrestle. It’sjust one of those games where I know thatthey lift their game for us,” said Hewetson.

“Therearea couple of ex-FalseBayplayersplaying in that team so it’s a bit of a grudgematch here and there, but it’s certainly onewhere we have shown in the past that we canbeat them. We are confident.”

SKW and False Bay will meet in GreenPoint at 16:00 on Saturday.

However, Hewetson’s chargers wereeventually let downbyahandful of errors– on which the home team capitalised –and their failure to make first-time tack-les.

The visitors left Green Point empty

handed after failing to secure a bonuspoint, and they now sit dangerously closeto the bottom two places on the log – cur-rently occupied by Villager and Tyger-berg.

Hewetson said that his team wouldneed to pick their battles if they are toavoid the drop at the end of the season.“I think the bottom four or five in thisleague need to be worried. At any giventime you might just scalp one of the bigguys, but you’ve got to play against Durb-Bell, Maties, UCT and Hammies,” saidHewetson.

“They will make sure that you don’t geta bonus point. Of the bottom four, I don’tthink anybody is safe. It’s a matter of try-ing to get bonus points and beating theguys you should beat.”

AlthoughBayare still largely in chargeof their own fate, and are confident ofmaintaining theirSuperLeagueAstatus,they will need to gather as many pointsas possible from their remaining fix-tures.

SKW are currently in the midst of mid-season revival, having lost for the firsttime in six games on Saturday.

They were defeated 31-12 by table-top-pers Durb-Bell.

Walmers beat Bay 39-21 in the reversefixture at Philip Herbstein in Constantialast month, but Hewetson believes thatneither form nor recent history will mat-ter when the two sides meet.

“It’s always been a gamble between thetwo. It’s always a bit of an arm wrestle.It’s just one of those games where I knowthat they lift their game for us,” saidHewetson.

“There are a couple of ex-False Bayplayers playing in that team so it’s a bitof a grudge match here and there, but it’scertainly one where we have shown inthe past that we can beat them. We areconfident.”

SKW and False Bay will meet in GreenPoint at 16:00 on Saturday.
