“Tel l ing it as it is”
Principal wins the dayPrincipalPrincipal winswins thethe daydayJUANITA WILLIAMS
IT HAS taken six years for South PeninsulaHigh principal Brian Isaacs to get morespace for his overcrowded school.
To highlight the need for more space, theschool took a symbolic walk to the disused Cen-tral Primary School in Diep River inMay. Theiraction has finally proven victorious.Isaacs says: “TheWesternCapeEducationDe-
partment (WCED) turned downmy first applica-tion, saying itwasnot viable on the grounds thatthey have already built extra classrooms on topof the main building. This was still not enoughto accommodate the 1200 pupils in a school builtfor 800 and sometimes we have to hold classesin the school hall.”After the march Isaacs was visited by provin-
cial educationdirectors JohnLynersandArchieLewis, who agreed the popular high school is indire need of physical upgrade.They have supported his application to occu-
py the disused school, which is owned by the De-partment of Public Works.Paddy Attwell, WCED Director of Communi-
cation, confirmed this, saying the departmenthas invited Isaacs “to submit new proposals inJune on how to use the buildings”.These have been submitted to the public
works department, says Attwell.“The option is attractive to theWCEDbecause
we may be able to modify our plans for expand-ing South Peninsula.Meanwhile, theWCEDhascompleted plans to replace nine prefabricatedclassrooms with a double-storey block of 18 newclassrooms at South Peninsula. We plan to startbuilding the new block next year.”He says the school could use the old primary
school for other needs, such as dance rooms andthe library. “Our planners still have to finalisethese plans in consultation with the school.”Central Primary School was opened in the
1950s, but was closed by the Group Areas Act.The armymoved in, followed by a security com-pany. The empty buildings are neglected, thefence is broken and the grounds are overgrown.The need to expand South Peninsula High has
become urgent. Isaacs says: “We have 1 000 ap-plications from pupils a year, and can only take200. Students come from Mitchell’s Plain,Strandfontein, Retreat, Heathfield, GrassyPark, Lavender Hill, Lansdowne, Wetton, Ot-tery, Athlone and Khayelitsha. Everyone wantsto come here because we have 100% pass rates
most years, and many of the students go on toUCT and UWC.”The principal of Lavender Hill Senior Second-
ary School, Faseeg Manie, says he is pleasedSouth Peninsula would get the support it needs.“Their building is like ours, quite derelict.
Our school is also full to capacity.We don’t haveenough classrooms, but it is not on our radar toexpand as we haven’t got the funds. We have1 064 pupils and, on average, have to turn awayabout 50 pupils a term.”He says they have to apply to the head office
in Mitchell’s Plain to find a school.Marcia Wolward, principal of Grassy Park
High, says: “Wehave six classroomswhich havebeen condemned for safety reasons by PublicWorks. I have been writing to them for two tothree years, and they say we are on the prioritylist.“We have several teachers who have to move
from class to class, and some classes are held inany available rooms. We have 1 050 pupils andabout 220 applications a year. Pupils are mainlyfrom Grassy Park, but we also get applicationsfromLavenderHill, Retreat, LotusRiver andOt-tery.”The selection of pupils at South Peninsula is
based on good academic results and those withsiblings at the school are top of the list. Thereare 40 to 45 pupils in a class, but Isaacs wouldprefer classes of 30.Hewas inspired to organise thewalk and sym-
bolic occupation of the premises by former Cen-tral PrimarypupilDrTajHargey,whohas a doc-torate from Oxford.Isaacs says Hargey and former pupil Derek
Hanslo, a chartered accountant, were “keen todo something about their old school and suggest-ed we walk to the building, 400m away”.“The Central Primary building is basically
sound, the floors need sanding and it needspainting. The school is prepared to help withthat, but we need the Department of PublicWorks to provide a new security fence aroundthe grounds.“The eight classrooms would replace the pre-
fabricated classrooms at South Peninsula. Wewill use the extra space for a laboratory, arts andculture, and agricultural science.”Isaacs introducedAgricultural Science for the
Grade 10s. He plans to expand this course andhas 20 pupils enrolled for next year. He plans tocreate a global conference room to host pupilsfrom other countries. In July they hosted inter-national students at a cultural event.
MAN OF ACTION: South Peninsula High principal Brian Isaacs has finally convinced theeducation department to make available a disused primary school to alleviate overcrowding at his school. With him is senior secretary Joan Bezuidenhout. Photo: Juanita Williams

Opening hearts andmindsDear reader,
The power to makea difference lies with-in us all.I witnessed this at a
foster parent supportgroup meeting held atMiracle Kids SafeHouse in Constantia.Love can truly
transform lives, espe-cially the love of afamily, and that pro-vided by people likeElsie Williams.Williams runs the safe house and
seems to never run out of love to giveher young charges.Elsie’s warm, cheerful home en-
sures abused and abandoned babiesand children have stability, safetyand security.Her role is bynomeanseasy, yet she greets the foster momsand dads with warmth and friendli-ness.I had theprivilege ofmeeting some
of the remarkable men and womenwho love and care for children inneed, some with up to four fosterchildren – and willing to take onmore.A tour ofElsie’s house shows clean
bathrooms, a veryhomely kitchen andseveral brightly deco-rated children’s roomsfilled with an abun-dance of toys. Photo-graphs of the childrenadorn the walls.Toddlers walk
around the well-keptproperty, playing andlaughing, and stealinghearts with their bigeyes and friendlysmiles; so much so that
I nearly went home with more thanthe one child I had arrived with.I especially connected with a little
boywith a rather intense look on hisface which did not ease up even afterI gave hima variety of snacks. He ledme to believe he could not walk soI kept going to the refreshments ta-ble to fetch him more to eat. Later,I was shocked to see him walkingaround, responding to his name andshowering hugs on the other fosterparents. The babies I tried to bondwith rejected me outright.At the meeting, several foster par-
ents shared their anguish and frus-tration at being unable tomake theirfoster children fully theirs as adop-
tion is a complicated, lengthy, costlyand trying process – with no guaran-tees.Also, if the birth parents are alive,
there is also always the chance theymay want to reunite with their chil-dren. This will involve a series ofregular scheduled, supervised visitsbetween the birth family and fosterchild. I believe that ultimately, thisbodes well for the children; knowingthey are wanted, knowing their her-itage, roots, culture...While I suffer the same fear other
foster parents do, I have learnt totake eachdayas it comes,with a firmbelief that only good will come tomyfoster child and others like him.Faith and hope are the only con-stants.However, the uncertainty sur-
rounding foster parenting shouldnot be a deterrent to opening yourhearts and home to children in need;and to making a difference in achild’s life; one day at a time.’Til next time, go well!ConnectED is a weekly column

THE prompt action of a security guardhas resulted in the arrest of four peoplefor robbery.
William Wyngaard, a security officer atWynberg Pharmacy, spotted three womenrunning along Benjamin Road, on Thurs-day.His prompt action resulted in the arrest of
three women and a man involved in a rob-bery in Main Road.He had noticed bottles and toiletries spill-
ing out of a handbag of one of the women.He gave chase and tried to prevent the wom-en from jumping into the getaway car, awhite Toyota Avanza.Wyngaard, a former police officer, wres-
tled with the driver to prevent him drivingoff. In the fray, the four suspects ran off.Wyngaard picked up the car keys, which hehanded to the Wynberg police on the scene.The driver’s ID and the stolen goods were inthe back of the car.Later that day, thedriverphoned theToyo-

A place childrencan call homeJUANITA WILLIAMS
CREATING six foster homes a year forneedy children seems wildly optimistic,but Wynberg NPO Home From Homemeets this target with ease.
This is thanks to a small team of commit-tedwomenheaded byPippaShaper and JanePayne.
In seven years, they have established 26homes in 12 communities. This year, they es-tablished newhomes inObservatory and theCrags, and have new homes opening inOcean View, Kayamandi and Villiersdorp.Two new homes – in Westlake and George– are in the planning stage.
Shaper says: “We are creating a cluster ofhomes in the Garden Route and have twohomes outside Plettenberg Bay.”
Mossel Bay is next on the list.There are seven homes in Khayelitsha,
plus two additional homes for disabled chil-dren and a satellite office which providessupport for the foster mothers. A satellite of-fice will open shortly in Stellenbosch to as-sist three homes in Kayamandi, as well ashomes in Cloetesville and Villiersdorp.
“As long as there is a need we will keepestablishing homes,” says Shaper.
Each small family home caters for six chil-dren, cared for by a foster mother or fosterparents.
As development director, Shaper is themain fundraiser. “Each home costs aboutR80 000 a year to run. One of our main ex-penses is electricity for the geyser, and weintend to install more solar panels to cutdown on these costs.”
Solar panels have already been installed
in the Kayamandi and Cloetesville homes.“We have a very broad spread of donors.
Our largest donor only accounts for 15% ofour annual budget, so even if a large donorwas to withdraw funding, we wouldn’t haveto close any homes,” says Shaper.
“Some funds are raised from the fostercare grants (R750 a child), but many of thechildren are not eligible, because their birthcertificates have been lost and some birthshave never been registered. The social work-ers spend hours trying to get the paperworkprocessed.”
Clothing the children is not a problem, asHomeFromHome receivesmuchgoodquali-ty clothes which are dropped off and sortedin Wynberg.
The children – ranging frombabies to teen-agers – are referred by the courts. They at-tend local schools and enjoy a normal familylife within their original communities.
Home From Home employs three socialworkers.
“We also have some wonderful therapistsand counsellors who provide various thera-pies on a pro-bono basis.”
The foster mothers are provided with on-going training and attend amonthly supportgroup so they can share experiences.
Casa Labia in Muizenberg adopted HomeFrom Home and some of the foster motherswere invited to tea and presentedwithwarmclothes and blankets for the children. “CasaLabia wants to be more involved and haveoffered to sponsor a Home From Home teamof 20 to 30 riders for the Argus Cycle Tourin 2013,” says Shaper.
Anyone who would like to take part cancontact the Home From Home office on(021) 761 7251.

People make difference against crimeJUANITA WILLIAMS
ALL IT takes is a small group of passion-ate people to clean up crime in an area.
That’s what BMK chairman Wayne Wei-mann believes.
In the six years this state-of-the-art neigh-bourhood watch has been in action, it hashelped the police make dozens of arrests andprevented many more crimes taking place.
The Valley information centre controlroom is the main contact point for the sur-rounding areas – and keeps in touch by radiowith the neighbourhood watches and BKMin Kirstenhof, Constantia, Constantia Hills,Nova Constantia, Tokai, Southfield andPlumstead.
Driving in and out of Bergvliet unob-served is difficult these days, as there arecameras placed at strategic entry points.
The cameras include Licence Plate Recog-nition (LPR), as well as overview cameras,which are manned around the clock.
Weimann says: “There are definitely somesyndicates at work in the area and recentlyBKM has assisted the police in cracking anumber of cases. We’ve had a huge impacton crime in the six years we’ve been operat-ing, thanks to the volunteers who are theeyes and ears of the community.
“Crime has escalated nationwide and weneed to take charge of our areas. We wantpeople to take control so they feel safe walk-ing their dogs, the children can play in safetyand everyone can enjoy a good lifestyle. Wemake an impact by creating high visibility.If suspects know they have a high chance ofbeing caught they will move on.”
To keep a community safe, he advises peo-
ple to constantly be alert and on patrol, evenwhen going to and from the supermarket.
Weimann says while he was patrolling re-cently he “saw a guy with his hands on awall, ready to jump over”.
He adds: “When I chatted to him he saidhe was looking for a job and I escorted himout of the area. Reporting suspicious activi-ties often leads to arrest. This area is pa-trolled night and day by security companies,volunteers and police. Some volunteers arepatrolling in low-profile private cars, (while)others drive cars with BKM decals and flash-ing lights. These volunteers work on a rotorsystem 24/7.”
With more than 2 500 registered memberson the website, BKM is well supported.
For Weimann, vigilance is key. “If I see agate or door open – even at 3:00 – I will ringthe bell and wake up the owner to tell them.People are still very unaware. We try to edu-cate them and make them aware. For in-stance, too many people still leave valuablesin their cars.”
He adds: “Prostitution attracts crime andBKM – like other neighbourhood watches –have made it difficult for them to use the areato attract clients. As a community, we canand do have an impact on prostitution,drinking in public, litter and graffiti.”
The website is constantly updated. “Wehave people out every night working withthe police. BKM needs more volunteers – notonly for patrols. We need people to volunteeran hour or two or contribute in other ways.”

Mandela bronze to add weight in WashingtonMandela bronze to add weight in WashingtonJUANITA WILLIAMS
THE labours of a Diep River sculptor – abronze depicting former president Nel-son Mandela – will soon be on display inWashington.
SA ambassador to the USA Ebrahim Ra-sool has awarded the commission for thesculpture to Jean Doyle.
Rasool was at the unveiling of a bronzesculpture which Doyle designed for GrootDrakenstein in Paarl.
“He felt it was the best representation ofMandela and wanted a replica,” says Doyle.“The sculpture will stand opposite WinstonChurchill in Massachusetts Avenue.”
The statue will be in good company, shesays, alongside those of Mahatma Gandhi,MartinLutherKingandheroes ofWorldWarII and Korea.
Doyle perfected the original maquette byconsulting videos of Mandela’s release 17years ago. “The research took a long time,but once it was in my head, I progressedquickly. I wanted to capture his expressionof dignity, joy, triumph and humility. WhenI met Mandela in person at the unveiling, heseemed pleased with the final result.”
Rasool raised the money for the statue intheUSbycalling for donations of 67UScents,$67 or $670 to celebrate Mandela’s birthday.
Raised and educated in Wynberg, Doyle’slifesize bronze elephant was a landmark inher front garden until it was moved to theairport, and then to the V&A Waterfront.
Originally a painter, like her father, Doylewas inspired to sculpt by a diva she observedmaking a flashy entrance at a swimmingpool in Johannesburg years ago. “She wasamazing; with piled up hair, an arsenal of
killer jewellery and very confident in her ti-ny bikini she sailed in on stilettos, and Iwanted to capture her womanliness.”
The result was Doyle’s collection PlumpLadies – a celebration of womanhood, thesenubile bronze creations stand and recline inthe corners of the garden. Some wear hatsand others bikinis as they gaze seductivelyover the lawn.
The showroom displays a collection of cir-cus acrobats inspired by Madame Zingara’sextravaganzas. She is very proud of her lat-est creations – twoacrobatic ladies cavortingover their laptops.
Doyle’s first public sculpture was of thedog Just Nuisance, which overlooks Simon’sTownharbour. She has a growing reputationfor her majestic sculptures of war heroes –the most powerful being a nine-metre high,eight-ton bronze soldier which stands on thesite of the Kifangondo battlefield in Angola.The resin version dominates the studio.
Recalling the unveiling, Doyle says: “It isan absolute paradise, serene and peaceful,dotted with baobabs, but very dangerous, asit is full of landmines. So we stayed on theroad.”
Producing these bronze monsters costsmillions and the work is very labour inten-sive. Her bronze foundry in Diep River em-ploys seven people.
Doyle creates the original maquette, thenprogresses to a metal armature which isbulked outwith polystyrene and then sculpt-ed with a modelling wax. This is followed bya rubber mould from which a wax is madeandcast by the “lostwax”method.After cast-ing intobronze, it is fettledandpolishedafterwhich a patina is applied.
The Mandela statue will for a Spring 2013unveiling.

Shark frenzySUMMER is on our doorstep.
And with it comes the issue of safety atCape Town’s beaches.
This city’s waters, home to the so-called“shark alley” at Robben Island, is one of theworld’s favourite areas for academics tostudy shark activity.
Documentary filmmakers regularly flockto our shores to capture on film one of na-ture’s most enigmatic, ancient and lethalpredators.
Unfortunately, this season also makes ourwaters particularly unsafe for all venturingout to sea.
For many who have become victim to sharkattacks, they have not even gone that far outin the water at the time of the attack.
All such attacks are highly regrettable. Thefact is: our waters are not safe. And anyonewho takes for granted their safety at seashould think again.
It is wise to use the beaches with caution.The plan to use shark nets in False Bay is
a hot potato.People using the sea – for recreation and to
earn a living – have a right to their safety.Animal rights campaigners would argue
sharks have a right to live. Both are correct.The Australian media has recently revisit-
ed the issue of installing shark nets.It has been argued that shark nets are re-
sponsible for killing many other species, in-cluding dolphins and turtles.
According to the City of Cape Town, thenets proposed for False Bay are small netsaimed at acting as a barrier to sharks, and notto entangle or capture marine species.
Constant vigilance by air patrols, swim-ming within the confines of surf lifesavingflags and adhering to the advice of shark spot-ters, could ensure that a day at the beach hasa happy ending.
Sharks are at the apex of the marine foodchain. They deserve our respect, albeit froma safe distance.
Our borders are easy to crossWITH regard to border control between SouthAfrica and Namibia and, in turn, Namibia andAngola (“A nip at heels of dog smugglers’’, Peo-ple’s Post, 11 September).
I think we are forgetting how easy it is to crossa border into a foreign country in Southern Af-rica.
This is not the type of border system whichwas 90% effective in the (former) communistcountries of Eastern Europe, especially fromEast to West Germany.
If so many, especially from the mid-1960s,have entered South Africa illegally – by-passingborder posts at Zimbabwe, Malawi, Mozam-bique, Angola, Congo and Zambia, many ofwhich don’t have security fences with regularpatrols and outpost towers – what prevents dogsmugglers from using the same methods? Evenputting up security fences patrolled by armyand police units have not achieved positive re-sults in South Africa. The wiring is just cut
through and entry is gained.The worst I’ve seen was in 1971 in the Caprivi
– where the borders of three countries came to-gether – marked only with a large white brick-shaped stone. In three seconds walking aroundin a circle I would be in three countries, withno passport control officer in sight at Caprivifor Namibia, Zambia or Angola. I could choosefrom there in which direction from the CapriviI wished to travel, without having to producea passport at that particular point to anyone.Therewasnoone there exceptmyself, and itwasopen veld, wherever one looked. The brickedbeacon was marked to assist me to take the cor-rect direction of travel. That is why diamondsmuggling is still so rife. There are so many un-controlled points and routes to take, from coun-try to country without any control bar the bor-der post itself.ANDRE MARTINAGLIAKenilworth

With the advent of Guy Fawkes(Monday 5 November) more localshops are still selling firecrackersto young children. Most countrieshave outlawed the sale of these gun-powder-filled paper tubes, (yet) westill persist in selling them.
Apart from the physical damageif mishandled, I am sure you willagree we do not have to witness an-other child crying out of the onegood eye on national TV while theparents agonise as to how they aregoing to foot the medical bill andtake time off work for regular visitsto the hospital.
And not forgetting the child’s fu-ture being hampered.
My concern is regarding the dam-age caused to our pets and the emo-tional loss of having the family dog/cat running off into the night andnever returning.
I work in Plumstead and everyyear I have to call on the police, asa shop in the area refuses to stopselling firecrackers to primaryschool children who fling them inthe street, resulting in the dogs inclose proximity going insane.
To this end I will be using the au-dio platform at Fine MusicRadio101.30 where I present a jazzshow, Jazz Brunch every Sundaybetween 12 and 14:00, to reiteratethe danger of these cheaply soldproducts.BENEDICT PETERSEmail

How would you pay your bond, school fees, groceries, car instalments?How would you maintain your lifestyle if your income was reduced or stopped completely?
