LILLIAN AMOS

WHILE most people were lazingaround or out celebrating Hu-man Rights Day, Hangberg resi-

dents were at war with police again onWednesday.

Police, a technical response team and Ma-rine Coastal Management officials searchedhomes in the small town just af-ter 8:00 in search of an abalonesyndicate.

Now community members andleaders are requesting a meet-ing with Western Cape PoliceCommissioner Arno Lamoer,accusing police of mistreat-ment and unruly policing.

The request was sent just un-der a week ago by communityleaders but by the time of goingto print, a date had not been setyet.

Residents claim policekicked down doors and shot atthem and therefore they had tocounter attack.

According to the Departmentof Agriculture, Forestry andFisheries (DAFF), the Special InvestigationsUnit had been tipped off that boats with ap-proximately 50 men were illegally diving forabalone near Robben Island.

Police followed the group of men to twopremises in Rhode Vos Road. When the teamsthen started searching homes, violence brokeout. Roads were barricaded and stones werehurled at cars as well as the police. Therewere even reports of flares being fired as com-munity members retaliated.

Police spokesperson Warrant Officer No-vember Filander said when the team startedthe raid shots rang out and residents startedthrowing stones and blocking roads. He also

said investigations are now underway to seewhether police or residents fired the firstshots after a police officers bullet-proof vestwas punctured by a bullet. One person wasarrested for public violence.

Lionel Adendorf, spokesperson the DAFF,said abalone was depleted in certain areas butthat the need for legal permit holders was un-derstood but he was disappointed by the cold-hearted and violent attack on members of law

enforcement agencies.Residents are adamant that

they were attacked by police.Hangberg Civic Associationspokesperson Greg Louw sayspolice were unprofessional andcould have dealt better with thesituation.

“We are unhappy with theway they had conducted theiroperation. They were extremelyintimidating and came in herelike they were playing cowboysand crooks. We know the impactof illegal poaching has on thiscommunity specifically but wereally don't agree with their oldapartheid-style raids.”

David Weeber, a 58-year-oldresident, says he was shocked

by what he saw.“I was driving when I saw all these police

vehicles coming toward us. I immediately gotout of the car and got to a safe spot. Then theywere all over the show, breaking down doorsand on people’s roofs.

“If they were targeting one or two housesin Hangberg, why did they have to search allhouses, and without a search warrant?”

Weeber says the children in the communitywere traumatised.

“My five-year-old grandson saw everythinghappening and he was crying his eyes out be-cause he didn’t want to see people get hurt.Personally, I am extremely upset because ofthe way they came here and mistreated us onHuman Rights Day. They totally violated ourrights. They should get their act together andnot fight with people who are innocent.”

FROM today, we will be running a week-ly column entitled “ConnectED” by Peo-ple’s Post Editor Feroza Miller-Isaacs.

Dear reader,I have been in the Editor’s seat for eight

months – two months as Acting Ed (couldn’thave been more real!) and six months as Edi-tor. It has been a humbling and enriching ex-perience, one my journalistic career of near-ly two decades has cer-tainly helped prepare mefor.

Though experienced innewsroom management,beingEditorhas givenmea 360 degree look at thebusiness of news in an or-ganisation as vast and vi-sionary as Media24.

I have had the privilegeand honour of engagingwith people from allwalks of life – from Ath-lone to Camps Bay, fromRetreat to Fish Hoek.

Just this weekend Irubbed shoulders withCape Town’s celebrities,shaking hands with our gracious Mayor, Pa-tricia de Lille, sharing a balcony with TopBilling presenter Michael Mol and his fami-ly, being assured by Mayco member of Safetyand Security JP Smith that the hot firemenwho led the Cape Town Carnival parade onSaturday were real firemen. The carnivalwas truly spectacular, reflecting the diversi-ty and cultural wealth of the people underthe African sun.

Among my memorable experiences overthe past eight months were watching enter-tainer Jayson King doing Elvis at the JosephStone auditorium, as if he weren’t a day over20, and laughing raucously at Fish Hoek

High School as “motormouth” Barry Hiltonentertained during a fundraising event forShark Spotters.

I’ve been wined (non-alcoholically) anddined at some of the best restaurants, treatedto fine entertainment, met many inspira-tional people, met people just like me, beentouched by the stories we run each week,been moved by the emails from readers pour-ing out their hearts to me.

The most rewarding part of my job is theprivilege, opportuni-ty and ability wehave, through our sto-ries, to influence posi-tive change andmovement; when ourstories make tangibledifferences in peo-ple’s lives, when or-ganisations such asLoaves and Fishes arethrown lifelines bythe generous commu-nities we serve, sav-ing the day for themand the many home-less and otherwisehopeless souls whodepend on them.

This makes the long hours, weekend workand deadlines all the more worthwhile.

In addition to publishing 10 zoned editionseach week, which are distributed to close to320 000 homes in the southern suburbs, Peo-ple’s Post also launched its website in August(www.peoplespost.co.za) and mobisite(ppost.mobi) shortly afterwards.

I look forward to engaging with youthrough my column and invite you to con-nect with me directly at feroza@peoples-post.co.za. Please send me suggestions of thetype of stories you’d like to see in your edi-tion of People’s Post.

Till next time, go well!

Illegal poisons adanger to childrenLILLIAN AMOS

THE City of Cape Town’s Law Enforce-ment, along with the Department ofhealth and the Department of Agricul-ture took to the streets of Wynberg lastweek.

This comesafter they received complaintsfrom the Red Cross Children’s hospitalabout children getting sick due to a rangeof illegal pesticides used incorrectly.

Officials went around to shop ownerslooking for the deadly products.

Mayoral Committee Member for HealthCouncillor Lungiswa James was present atthe raids and says she wants all these illegalpoisons off the streets.

“I see plenty of these chemicals being soldwhere I live as well and the problem is thatpeople don’t know how dangerous they canbe.

People put this poison on a piece of breadand put it on the floor for the mice or ratsto eat. Then along comes a child, picks it upand eats it.”

Councillor James added that people arenot educated on how to use the pesticidesproperly and that could lead to fatalities.

“It is extremely concerning. Shop ownersare not taught how to use pesticides. Thesepoisons are also so accessible and they actu-allywork, but theyareunregisteredwith theDepartment of Agriculture.”

When shopkeepers were confronted, mostdidn’t know that the pesticide they were sell-ing was illegal.

Xolisa Magoqoza, who is an assistant atone of the stores, says if he had known, theywouldn’t have sold the products.

“We had no idea that the things were ille-gal; howwerewe toknow?Weknownowandwe won’t sell them anymore.”

People’s Post also spoke to Meryl Snyman,who uses the pesticide in her home.

“I use it because it really works. I hadcockroaches in my house but when I usedthe powder, they were gone.

But now that I hear it is dangerous, I won’tbe using it any more because I have childrenat home and I wouldn’t want them to get sickbecause of it.”

Councillor James ended off by saying thatthe Department of Health and Departmentof Agriculture will continue their quest toeliminate these poisons.

“At the moment they is easily accessible,that’s why people buy them, but we are defi-nitely looking at ways to try and stop themfrom being sold so we can keep our childrensafe”.

Taxi permit systemis skewed – claimMELISSA LE ROUX

POTENTIAL taxi drivers are not being giv-en the opportunity to work in the communi-ty as permits are granted to the same driv-ers every year.

This is according to the chairperson ofthe Western Cape Community PoliceBoard, Hanif Loonat, who accuses taxi asso-ciations of favouritism.

“Taxi permits are given to the same exist-ing members every year. It’s unfair to thosewho wish to run a taxi in the area. I believethat there’s no transparency in the distribu-tion of these permits,” he says.

Taxi permits are issued to various driv-ers each year. To gain a permit, potentialdrivers need to gain a letter from the taxiassociation to which they belong and oper-ate from. The letter then needs to be for-warded to the Western Cape Taxi Board,whereby it will be processed.

The board looks at the application interms of route saturation and driving ca-pacity.

People’s Post spoke to a taxi driver, whowishes to remain anonymous. He has beenoperating a taxi for three years now andsays that every year “it’s a hassle”. “You’dthink that it would be easy to get a taxi per-mit, but it’s not. They’ll tell us things like‘you all want to drive the same route’ andthat’s why we can’t get one, which is wrong

because we are also trying to make a livingjust like everyone else,” he says.

The spokesperson for the South AfricanNational Taxi Council (Santaco), ChabishoMolalekwa, says drivers do not have a pre-determined right to start operating on theroad as a taxi driver.

“Just because you want to operate as ataxi driver does not mean that you are pre-disposed to becoming one. I’m not suggest-ing that new drivers are excluded from theapplication process, it just means that theymust not expect to automatically qualify.

“The process is opened to drivers at anequal level and no one is given special pref-erence,” he says.

Every taxi association has a different pol-icy, and members need to adhere to thesepolicies in order to operate in the specificroutes.

“The conduct of taxi drivers needs to bemonitored. Taxi drivers thinking that theyown the road needs to come to an end. Theyneed to consider other road users and haverespect for them and the road,” says Loonat.

He warns taxi drivers: “Taxi drivers andguards who are abusing schoolgirls – ask-ing for and forcing them to give sexual fa-vours – has got to stop.

“The Western Cape Community PoliceBoard is on the lookout for these practicesand will come down hard on those who arecaught out,” he says.

Moving up and out

SMALL businesses in the Western Capehad reason to celebrate due to the on-

going partnership between the Provin-cial Government of the Western Cape(PGWC) and Shanduka Black Umbrellas(SBU). Last week they celebrated theirfirst year’s collaboration

As well as funding the successful SBU pro-gramme to the tune of R500 000 during thepast year, the partnership has also sought toactively grow sustainable businesses thatare able to provide quality products and serv-ices to both the public and private sector.

Shanduka Black Umbrellas - a non-profitincubation enterprise development serviceprovider which began operating in 2005 - pro-vides partnership opportunities between100% black-owned businesses, government,the private sector and civil society. It has aproven track record.

Nondumiso Ncisana – a recent graduate ofthe SBU programme and the owner of Im-pumelelo Staffing Solutions – has just estab-lished her own premises in the CBD, is em-ploying three people and secured meaningfulcontracts which assist in ensuring the sus-tainability of her business.

Alan Winde, the Provincial Minister of Fi-nance, Economic Development and Tourism,reiterated the importance of the supplier de-velopment partnership and the role of theprovincial government in supporting smallbusinesses.

“Growth and jobs is a priority of this pro-vincial government. In the Western Cape thecore backbone of our economy is small, medi-um and micro enterprises (SMMEs), and wehave to help their businesses grow. However,we have to ensure that black owned compa-nies use the procurement advantages they

have but do not come to rely on them. Theymust use them to get their businesses up andrunning but then they must move into themain economy. It is critical that small busi-nesses get thehelpand support theyneed, butin turn they have to be competitive.”

CEO of SBU, Mark Frankelm, thanked thePGWC for its involvement in the programmeand urged South African companies to get in-volved.

“The overall theme of Finance MinisterPravin Gordhan’s recent budget speech was

that all South Africans need to work togethertoutilise available resources inorder to growthe economy, alleviate unemployment, re-duce poverty and improve the quality of lifefor all.

All South Africans need to be involved –government, the corporate sector and pri-vate citizens alike”, said Frankel.

He emphasised that larger companies needto provide small businesses with meaningfulaccess to procurement opportunities and toassist in their development.

TONY ROBINSON

THEheatwavehasbeenalmost enoughtomakeonebelieve inglobalwarming.Then, just when you think the “green-ies” are right, you turn on the TV andsee thebiggest freeze inEurope fordec-ades.

From this you will gatherthat I have my doubts aboutclimate scientists. I alsohave problems with weatherpredictions, served up on allthe electronic media. Thisbusiness of a 30% or 60%chance of rain is weird. Whydo we never have a 50% or an80% chance of rain?

Weather forecasters havean abundance of informa-tion from satellites but theystill get it wrong. One sus-pects that the whole job isturned over to computerswhich tell us that the temper-ature in Paarl will peak at precisely 37 de-grees C. Wonderful, but how can theyknow the precise temperature at any giv-en location and still be so vague about thereally important things like rain?

The heatwave also tells us importantthings about the way we live. In these in-formal times most of us have shed a layerof undergarments and things like jacketswith collars and ties are on the way out.

Now we wear baseball caps and walkaround in a state of semi-undress at week-ends. Any Arab from one of the deserttribes would tell us that we are mad andthe only way to cope with real heat is tocover up and keep it out.

Our complete failure to understand thatcan be seen in the way we build houses.All those big windows and, worst of all,

black roofs!Solar water heaters have taught us just

howeffective the colourblack is at absorb-ing the radiation from the sun. A one-square metre black panel can provide hotwater for a family so you can imagine howmuch heat is absorbed by a whole roof.

We try to deal with the problem by in-stalling layers of insula-tion above the ceilingbut all this does is trapthe heat in the roofspace where it buildsup, drying out the tim-ber and causing maxi-mum expansion andcontraction. A blackcover over a confinedand well insulatedspace is the way to makea solar oven! All roofsshould be painted whitebecause white reflectsboth light and heat,making it much easierto deal with the heat

that does manage to penetrate. It is obvi-ous, as any desert Arab will tell you.

If the “greenies” jumped onto this band-wagon they might save the planet. Justimagine how much less electrity would beused by reducing the demand for air con-ditioning.

We would all become nicer people if welived in cooler homes. Productivity wouldincrease. Kids studying for final exams insummer would get better marks. Wewould all become, cooler, wiser, saner andmore productive.

All the “greenies” have to do is banblack, red, grey and green roofs in hotcountries and they will change the world.All roofs should be white, preferably ce-ramic white, so that they become heatshields to keep out the solar radiation.

Heatwaves and why whitehas got to be the new green

A GREEN THING: Irish Ambassa­dor Brendan McMahon and May­or Patricia De Lille shoot a twist­er of green tinsel after a count­down to the 8 o’clock switch onof the lights that turned TableMountain green for St Patrick’sDay in salute to the work of Irishcharities in South Africa. DeLille said that the City has astrong relationship with Irelandand is happy to share the moun­tain with them. McMahon saidthat there’s never a better timeto visit Ireland because 2013marks the year they will cele­brate it’s culture, people, placeand heritage. For 365 days, theywill welcome back Irish of the di­aspora, their connections andanyone who has ever felt, orwanted to feel, a connection toIreland. Photo: Supplied

Inspirational women rewardedSince the launch of the 2012 Sho-prite Women of the Year Awardat the beginning of the month,hundredsofnominations forout-standing women in South Africahave reached the award’s organ-isers.

Encouraging further entry thisweek, Ferial Haffajee, a previouswinner and Editor-in-chief of CityPress, spoke about the need to un-derstand why working with theyouth of South Africa is so impor-tant.

“If people of privilege are to knowthe three million unemployedyouth beyond the empty slogan andthe fearful headline, and to reachout a hand, give a skill, provide ashelter, fund a bursary, then surelyit would make ours a better coun-try.

“And if I were lucky enough to bepresident for a day, I would fix theNational Youth Development Agen-cy, cut its red tape and its entertain-ment budget and use all that moneyto fund all those dreams”, says Haf-fajee.

A considerable number of nomi-nations have already been receivedin the Youth Movers Category of theShoprite Checkers Women of theYear Award.

The main aim of the award is to identify ex-ceptional and visionary women who haveachieved in their own fields, with the deter-mination and foresight to make an impact onthe future of many fellow South Africans.

There are five categories in the competitionnamely -Health Care-Givers; Educators; So-cio-Economic Business Developers; GoodNeighbours Against Crime and Youth Mov-ers.

The winners will be awarded with individ-ual prize money and the Shoprite Group willalso give R100 000 towards the work they do

for a better future.The public can nominate the Lifetime

Achiever.The closing date for nominations is on

Thursday 26 April and South Africans whowould like to nominate candidates can visittheir nearest Shoprite or Checkers store tocollect entry forms.

ALFRED HINKEL’S latest work,Dansmettieduiwels, comes to theBaxter Theatre for only four per-formances this March.

This season follows its world pre-miere at the Dance Umbrella re-cently, where it was received withcritical acclaim and hailed as a re-sounding success.

Presented by Hinkel and JohnLinden, this latest collaboration in-troduces a new ensemble under theworking title Garage, featuringstalwarts Grant van Ster, Christo-pher Samuels and Illse Samuels to-gether with Byron Klaasen and Far-roll Coetzee. Costumes and projec-tion design are by fashion designerMarsten Carsten and lighting de-sign is by Bennie Arendse.

With Dansmettieduiwels, com-missioned by the Dance Umbrella,Hinkel bravely and creatively tack-les the subject of sexual abuseamongst the priesthood in the Cath-olic Church in a work which he de-scribes as an “ancient biblical mythwith a Greek tragedy feel to it”.

The story is based on EmmanuelBugen, who was born in Matjiesk-loof, a Roman Catholic mission sta-tion, a few kilometres from Spring-bok in the Northern Cape. As ayoung adult he believed he had acalling to serve his creator and sojoined the monastery in his hometown, in the hopes of eventually being or-dained as a priest.

A while into his training Emmanuel re-quested that he be given permission to workwith children. This request was refused asthe abbot believed he displayed an inappro-priate interest in the children. Using Em-manuel’s story as a springboard, thechurch’s doctrines and belief systems re-garding sex, sexuality and its relationshipwith women and children are interrogated.Parental Guidance is advised.

“Most of the cast are Namaqualanders, sothis really is a Northern Cape product. Since

moving here I am even more interested intelling stories that affect the locals. Padon-bekend, which debuted here in O’okiep andthen went on to be performed at the KKNKlast year, is another such example,” explainsHinkel.Dansmettieduiwels opens on Thursday 29

March until Saturday 31 March at 20:00, witha matinee at 14:00 on the Saturday. Ticketprices are R85 with discounts offered forblock bookings. Bookings can be madethrough Computicket on 0861 915 8000, on-line at www.computicket.co.za or at any Sho-prite Checkers outlet.

All you need to know about filtersJOHN RAYNER

THERE are two filters that pho-tographers should not be with-out.

A UV (UltraViolet) filter whichhelps to cut out haze, but has littleor no effect on today’s digital sen-sors. This filter’s purpose nowa-days is a cheap insurance policy –a means of protecting the front ele-ment of your lens against an acci-

dental bump that could damage thatbig piece of expensive optical glass.

The other filter is a polarizing fil-ter. It is by far the one filter thatputs zing into your photos.

The only source of light that haspredictable direction is the sun; therest is reflected from all manner ofsurfaces around us: windows, mir-rors, metal surfaces, white walls,water, beach sand, snow, mist, hazeand even foliage – everywhere, infact. This filter filters out sunlight

that has been directly reflected to-wards the camera at specific angles.

The polarizer comprises of twosections, the front portion of whichrotates. While looking through theviewfinder of the camera one willrotate that front element until thereflection/sheen is removed fromthe scene. The surface of water – ashallow mountain stream – willshow its pebbles and fallen branch-es beneath the surface; a rock poolat the beach will give up its secrets

– anemones, shells,little fish, seaweedetc.

Colours are en-riched when using apolarizing filter asthe sheen on objects’surfaces is reduced,allowing the coloursto come through inall their glory, as theexample of the leafshows.

Blue skies too benefitfrom the use of a polariz-ing filter, making thembeautifully rich. Toachieve this effect thecamera should be atabout 90° to the sun, tobenefit fully. A word ofwarning though, at cer-tain angles the sky canturn almost black – mostunsightly, as is seen inthe photo of the building.

SHEEN TOO MUCH: Without a polarizer ­ a dull photo withquite a sheen on the leaf. Photos: John Rayner

Detect cancer earlyFORMER president and Nobel Peace Prizewinner, FW de Klerk, had a close scarewith cancer in 2006 and is lending his sup-port to “Be Cancer Aware” as it launchesa campaign to increase public awarenessand get people talking about the sensitiveissue of cancer, more specifically, colorec-tal cancer.

A global initiative, this awareness cam-paign for Colorectal Cancer AwarenessMonth (CCAM), takes place annually inMarch. Locally, the theme for CCAM is “Ig-noring a Gut Feeling?”.

Colorectal cancer is the fourth most com-mon cause of death from cancer across allcancer types in men and women worldwide,

killing around 700 000 people each year.While the disease is typically found in per-

sons over the age of 50, colorectal cancer canaffect anyone, regardless of gender or socialstatus.

Risk factors involves poor diet, lack of exer-cise, obesity, family history of colorectal can-cer, and age.

“The lesson for all, from my experience, isto start taking precautionary measures andto have precautionary examinations at a rela-tively young age,” says de Klerk.

Cape Town-based oncologist, Dr Garth Dav-ids, says that colorectal cancer can occur any-where in the colon or rectum. “The cancer de-velops when the normal process of renewalamong the cells lining the bowel is interrupt-ed.

A tumour may form, which, if detected atan early stage, can be removed and patientshave a chance of a full recovery and qualityof life.

If the cancer has reached a more advanced

stage, other treatment options such as radia-tion therapy and chemotherapy may be con-sidered. Chemotherapy with targeted thera-py may be an option for some patients”, hesays.

“Be Cancer Aware” called on the Water-front Theatre School to help with the aware-ness campaign, which resulted in fifty danc-ers from the group LMFAO participating ina flash mob dance, to the beat of the populartrack I’m sexy and I know it.

The dancers randomly appeared at theMarket Plaza at the Waterfront at lunch timeand started dancing.

As the dance drew to a close, a voice-overinformed the audience that March is CCAM,and directed them to the “Be Cancer Aware”Facebook page for additional information.While the voice-over relayed this message,the dancers immediately vanished back intothe crowd and passers-by; leaving only ahandful of the campaign members behind todisperse stickers with the campaign details.

IN A FLASH: The dancers randomly started dancing to get a crowd to notice them.

Deadly diverseWHILE tens of thousands of Capetoniansturned the Fanwalk into a scene redolent ofNew Year, devouring the festive sights andsounds of the Cape Town Carnival, elsewherea man died a lonely death, at the hands of anincensed mob.

Joy, energy, unity and a celebration of lifemarked the carnival, while despair and de-tachment heralded the end of life for a manwho had been “necklaced” in Khayelitshaover the weekend.

His burnt corpse, feet tied with rope, greet-ed police at 07:00 on Sunday. It appeared thatthe man was a victim of mob justice.

Carnival of life and death on a dusty street- two vastly different worlds in one city. Thisis the stark contrast, the oxymoron, that char-acterises existence in a city as multi-culturaland diverse as ours.

Most wouldn’t trade Cape Town, with itsbounty of natural beauty, for any other placein the world, even when faced with the grimstatistics and reality of crime.

Some of us console ourselves with notionsthat “crime exists everywhere”. But hardlyanyone could condone and justify somethingas barbaric as mob justice. Is it desperationor sheer criminality that fuel vigilantism?

Would understanderstanding be harnessedby tapping into the psyche of communitiespermanently plagued by crime and violence?Does the rage that incites a mob to murderstem from abject conditions, a loss of faithand trust, in government, the criminal jus-tice system?

Justice must be seen to be done.The pendulum swings both ways; if those

guilty of vigilantism justify their heinous ac-tions as “an attempt to protect themselves”,let them not forget that they too have turnedinto criminals and murderers.

There can be no justification for taking alife. We live in civilised society governed byrules and regulations, with access to resourc-es and more importantly, the power of reason-able thinking.

Battling the unemployment cancerA TRADE and Industry minister once remarkedthat there will always be unemployed people andthere is nothing anyone can do about it. Ithought this was such a pessimistic way of look-ing at life.

Currently our unemployment figures standaround 40%, and this percentage seems to be ris-ing. This unstoppable rise will lead to only onething and that is: people will be forced to turnto crime and gangsterism as a way of live. At thecurrent rate this “industry” will be the biggestemployer, making the country totally ungovern-able. Ordinary citizens would be at the mercyof the gangsters, like in Manenberg.

I would like to venture a few reasons why wehave such a high unemployment rate, in thehope that the powers that be would do somethingabout it.

1) We have too much legislation when it comesto employment, which often borders on levels ofMafiosi-type protection of useless under-per-forming workers, even amongst professionalslike perpetually drunk teachers and rude nursesetc.

Many a potential domestic worker is unem-ployed because many employers are wary of go-ing through the various laws governing domes-tic workers. People are resorting to doing theirown work rather than run foul of the law. Letpeople decide their own contracts This fear ofemploying staff is prevalent in a number ofSMEs. Some of them have closed down becausethey could not meet stringent minimum wage re-quirements by union bosses, who receive a goodsalary from the few workers that belong to theirunion. The over legislation and over unioniza-tion of employment has compelled many SMEsto employ foreign nationals, who are preparedto work for a negotiated salary and deliver what

is expected of them. I was so saddened to hearfrom the owner of a small bakery that five of hissix staff did not turn up for work one day andthere is nothing he could do because of all therights that they wield. He felt it is time for himto pack up.

2) The next problem is a poor work ethosamongstSouthAfricanworkers.Onemerelyhasto go to a restaurant and you can tell whetherthe waiter is a local or a foreign national by theirattitude. Restaurants want the best staff for theirclients or else they will be out of business. Theforeign nationals beat our locals in leaps andbounds by their wonderful work ethic and grate-ful smiles.

3) Too much red tape for SMEs is another hugeproblem. SMEs are responsible for 65% of pri-vate employment but they are subjected to amyriad of mind- boggling rules. Take for exam-ple someone wanting to sell food from home.There is so much red tape that it is simply notviable for them to conduct their business fromhome. In countries like India andThailand smalleateries, run by small families, are a boomingbusiness. In our third world country, franchises,which sell food at exorbitant rates, have the mo-nopoly in the food catering business. This muststop.

4) Too much emphasis has been placed on cor-porate businesses in shopping malls, run bygreedy giants. Where is the market space forsmall entrepreneurs to ply their wares?

Governments around the world are not seri-ous about the small players. If the governmentsof the world don’t sit up and take note of the un-employment situation, the world will be run bygangsters and civil society will become a thingof the past.ELLAPEN RAPITI

YourSMSesEvolution: Fact or fiction?

. Do visiting museumsreally prove evolution, ordoes it prove beyond ashadow of a doubt thatthere is a Creator? Thefossils did not appear outof thin air. The fossils yousee today were createdand died over time! Iwould like to offer a book-let or DVD entitled “Evo-lution vs Creation” to an-yone who may be inter-ested. It’s free on request.Call me on 083 237 4329 fora copy.

. Evolution is a theory,not a fact. The “missinglink” is still missing!From a believer (Williamdu Toit)

In response. I tried to swop my old

globes for energy-savingglobes at the designatedexchange points at Kenil-worth Centre, RosmeadAvenue and WynbergMall. But there were noEskom staff to be found!

(An Eskom spokesper-son has confirmed that thematter is being investigat-ed. People’s Post will pub-lish why the contractorswere not present once thereasons have been sup-plied. -Ed)

. To the person who

sent the SMS asking whatHelen Zille did to endapartheid, I suggest thatyou Google it to find out.Educate yourself on theheroes of the revolution.She did more than youdid. Pearson

. The community istrying to eradicate gang-sterism. The thought of agang museum stinks.

. My opinion on theWP Rugby debacle: eithermove to Cape Town Stadi-um or urgently upgradethe ladies toilets at New-lands. There really is noexcuse for the appallingcondition of the servicesyou provide for women! Ijust can’t believe CapeTown women haven’t de-manded better!

A load of bull. In response to the fu-

rore about the Red Bullad, the Bible does notmake a mockery of God.There are jokes whichcan be made, and thosewhich just can’t. Anon

. Well done Red Bull!That’s the best ad you’veever made! From Marge

. Red Bull’s ad aboutJesus is in very bad tasteand an insult to Chris-tians. Keep religion out ofads. We should boycott

Red Bull. Jessie, Athlone. Don’t worry about

the Red Bull advert. TheGod we Christians be-lieve in can defend him-self.

Just a thought. Is there any way that

jobs can be created for ex-perienced people be-tween the ages of 48 and59? Many of these peoplewere the breadwinners intheir households andhave no source of income.Is there any way that ourgovernment can assist orcreate work for these citi-zens of Western Cape? Af-ter all, they are the peoplewho put food on the tableand have to foot the bills.Desperate

. Vodacom shouldspend less on their adver-tising campaigns andmore on improving their3G service!

. Why does SAFA in-sist that a person whowould like to coach soc-cer obtain a coaching cer-tificate? I am 68 years oldand I have played soccersince I was seven. I admitthat I do not watch muchSA soccer as there isnothing exciting to see.Why do I need a certifi-cate to coach? Melly W

Car GuardsWHO is guarding the cars while thecar guard is helping me load goodsfrom the trolley into the boot of mycar, thus hopefully giving him or hera bigger “tip”.

Car guards also imply by there ac-tions that one should “tip” them, evenwhen one has made a quick stop, yourwife running into the shop while youstay in your car and by that guardingit yourself, and if I have to “tip” any-one to show me how to reverse my carI should not be driving!

There are to many stories about sto-len vehicles where there are carguards, thus questioning the worth ofthem being there, other than givingmoney to a beggar with a job.

Car guards should be employed, ef-fectively trained and paid by the own-ers of the shopping centre and shopstherein, their survival surely depend-ing on the patronage and safety oftheir customers.

Sadly the greed of the centres andshop owners will play on the sympa-thy of their customers to support thecar guards.ANDRE PIETERSEBergvliet

Life’s loadTHIS letter I am writing comes from listen-ing, watching and observing people and theload they are carrying in order to surviveday by day.

The latest load planned for us is the in-crease in Metrorail’s transport fees.

As with the price of electricity a huge loadis given in percentage and we gasp in de-spair, but then comes a crusader on a greyhorse flying a discount banner or advertisesa two month extension before the increaseis implemented and we rejoice, but at theend of the day we are still loaded with thesuggested increase.

We can ill afford the increases that we arebeing loaded with as our income stays thesame.

We cannot say our country is facing finan-cial woes if we see the proceeds of corrup-tion and the extremely healthy state of ourelected officials.

Drive around the neighbourhood and seethe state of the majority of our people andlisten to what life is like for them.

We do not see the depressing cloud thatis slowly but surely sailing over our commu-nities.

A person would think that those in leader-ship would implement measures and poli-cies to lift the load burdening us.

Look around the globe and do not forgetwhat happens when the load becomes tooheavy and the stomachs empty.

I am reminded of the story of the three pig-lets and how each one built their home tokeep out the big bad wolf, and in the end onesurvived because he built his home withstone and not with sticks and straws.

Those in power, do your utmost with ourcountry’s riches tomakeour life’s load light-er and so keep the big bad wolf within thewalls of the house of stone.KEITH ALFRED ADOLPH BLAKEOttery

No respect for femalesI AM a primary school teacher whohelped at our aftercare facility for ashort while - a recent incident made mefear for South Africa’s children’s safety.A boy on our field kicked the ball he wasplaying with out over our fence and apassing female high school student wasnice enough to chuck it back over to us.A pedestrian walking in the opposite di-rection literally stopped dead in histracks, ogled her lasciviously and car-ried on eyeing her up and down even af-

ter she had walked on. I could not stopmyself from asking him firmly to stoplooking at her in such a disgusting man-ner, to which he replied “Why? It’s justhuman nature”. This was clearly an un-derage girl and I knew exactly what wasgoing through his mind - is it any won-der then why there are so many rapesin our country when men clearly haveso little regard for the sanctity of the hu-man form?ANONYMOUS

I AM currently having some teenage issues withmy son, who is in Matric. The usual problems ofbeing almost 18; overstepping the boundaries andtrying out new things.

Recently he managed to bunk school after I hadtold him to attend. Fortunately I was home the dayI caught him and was told by him that school hadclosed early – this was a Friday. I phoned theschool on the Monday and it was confirmed thatit was a normal school day, closing at 14:30.

I was cleaning out his room on the weekend andfound a hand-written doctors note on a torn pageof an exam pad. The letter stated that he had a doc-tor’s appointment and that it was the only time thedoctor could see him, on the Friday. The note wassigned by a “Dr A Van Der Walt” and both a prac-tice and cell number was provided. I phoned thecell and it does not exist. My concern is that thiswas signed off by the teacher as acceptable and mychild was left to leave the school. My question is,

do teachers not know what a Doctor’s certificatelooks like. It is not a half torn page from an exampad, that’s for sure. We continuously get remindedby the high school that should kids be absent fromschool on a test or exam day, or wanting to leaveearly, a doctor’s certificate must be produced. Theteachers should know better. My child is left inyour care from the time I drop him off to the timeI collect him. How can this be overlooked?

I had a good mind to show this note to the parentof the child who wrote it and to the school principaland teacher, but it would only put my child in theeye. Yes, he was wrong and has been reprimandedand punished. But where is the teacher’s responsi-bility. We get reminded of the procedure and whenit comes to hair we are continuously SMSed,phoned and called, to rectify the problem. So teach-ers should learn what a doctor’s certificate lookslike.CHANTELLE

Teachers should take better care

When he is not performing locally, he en-tertains home-sick South Africans livingabroad.

To date, he has performed to rave reviewsin London, Sydney, Perth, Toronto, Mel-bourne, Auckland and Dubai.

CAPE TOWN, together with other 2010Fifa World Cup host cities, presented itsbid to host some of the group and knock-out matches for the 2013 African Cup ofNations yesterday.

The Confederation of African Football(CAF) has awarded South Africa the respon-sibility of hosting the 29th African Cup ofNations (Afcon) next year.

This competition is held every two yearsand attracts a large number of competitors,supporters and members of the media from

across the world.Since the inaugural event held in 1957 –

which featured three competing nations –the Afcon has grown into Africa’s premierinternational football tournament.

The final tournament, to behosted inJan-uary to February, is divided into a groupphase and a knock-out phase, with a totalof 16 teams from the continent vying for thecoveted title of Africa’s Champions.

A total of four host cities are being soughtthroughout the country.

The City has submitted a bid to host group

phase matches as well as selected knock-outstage matches.

The City believes that this tournamentwill reignite the spirit of “cohesion and na-tion-building” amongst all South Africans,much like the 2010 Fifa World Cup did, anddraw South Africans closer to the Africancontinent.

“To this end, the City of Cape Town hassent a senior delegation to present its biddocument to the Bid Adjudication Commit-tee – which should serve as testimony of ourcommitment to doing all in our power to se-

cure major events for our facilities, includ-ing Cape Town Stadium. The delegation ishopeful that the deliberations will result ina successful bid by Cape Town,” says theCity’s Mayoral Committee member forTourism for Events and Marketing, council-lor Grant Pascoe.

This initiative complements the City’s in-tent to use events, tourism and its strategicassets as key levers to profile and positionCape Town on a global scale – turning event-based job opportunities into long-term ca-reers.

Alternative treatment not well­known in SAMARITA MEYER

WHEN I told my friends I wasseeing an osteopath for a mus-cle injury, hardly any of themknew what I was talking about.They’re not alone – most SouthAfricans fall in this category.

Fact is, osteopathy, a “hands-on” manual therapy, has beenaround since the 1870s (before chi-ropractic and physiotherapy), butin South Africa it’s still relativelyunknown.

According to Dr Guy Ashbur-ner, there are only fifty registeredosteopaths in South Africa, com-pared to a figure of more than 5 000in the United Kingdom.

Guy runs an osteopathic clinicin Constantia and patients comefrom all over the Peninsula to gettreatment for a wide range of pro-blems which include back pain,disc injuries, pain in the neck, sci-atica, trapped nerves, headaches,joint and muscle pain, symptomsof arthritis, sport related injuries,fibromyalgia, pain during preg-nancy, infantile colic, irritable ba-bies as well as latching and suck-ling difficulties.

According to Guy, osteopathy isnot the same as chiropractice orphysiotherapy.

“Osteopaths take into accountnot only physical symptoms, butalso the patient’s lifestyle and atti-tudes, as well as his or her overallhealth, effectively treating the pa-tient as a whole. The osteopathconsiders physical, environmen-tal and stress factors simultane-ously, whereas the general medi-

cal practitioner would usually tre-at these factors individually andin isolation from each other.”

Osteopaths, chiropractors andphysiotherapists treat the sameconditions with different approa-ches.

“If you’re thinking you mayneed to see a chiropractor or phy-siotherapist, then seeing an osteo-path is suitable. Many of our pa-tientshave seenavast arrayof the-rapists and prefer our holisticosteopathic approach.”

While chiropractors tend to bevery focused on a range of techni-ques formanipulationof the spine,osteopaths do not manipulate(click) a joint the way chiroprac-tors do.

“We make use of a wider rangeof techniques for the whole body.

Apart from manipulation, osteo-paths use other techniques such asstretches, massage and gentle rele-ase techniques (cranial osteopa-thy) without any ‘clicking’ of thejoints.”

Guy believes this “hands-on”therapy can help restore the nor-mal mobility of the musculoskele-tal system which in turn improvesthe function of the nervous, circu-latory and immune systems andallows faster healing, reducingpain, congestion and restrictionwithin the body.

“By paying attention to the sig-nificance of any alteration instructure or function (the joints,muscles, ligaments, bones andconnective tissue), an osteopath isable to interpret whole patterns ofaches, pains and general health

problems.“If you suffer from headaches,

for example, it could be the finalsymptom of lower-back or foot-re-lated problems.

“If you have a knee injury, an os-teopath will assess whether theremay be any involvement of otherareas with a mechanical relations-hip to the knee, such as the foot,hip, lower back and pelvis, and theassociated soft tissues,” explainsGuy.

It’s all about treating the under-lying causes.

Guy studied at the BritishSchool of Osteopathy in the UnitedKingdom and also has a post-gra-duate diploma in paediatric osteo-pathy.

He emigrated to South Africa in2006, after which he opened his cli-

nic, Osteopathy Cape Town.He is passionate about correct

posture and appropriate exerciseand goes as far as saying that if noone had bad posture, most medicalpractitioners would be without ajob.

“Good posture is the cornersto-ne of good health,” says Guy.

“It’s so basic – if it’s moving, it’sworking. A lack of mobility to agreater of lesser degree will contri-bute to many medical conditions.The more movement, the betteryour body works, that’s nature.It’s all about keeping it simple.”

The first consultation with anosteopath will include a detailedcase history leading to a patient’spresent symptoms.

A physical examination is thenconducted to evaluate the body’sbiomechanics (structure, postureand physical movements).

“Subsequent manual therapywill range from very subtle techni-ques used for babies, to more ro-bust methods applied to athletes.Some of these include gentle relea-sing, joint articulation and mani-pulation, muscle stretching,rhythmic joint movements, softtissue massage, trigger point the-rapy and lymphatic drainage,” ex-plains Guy.

The number of visits will de-pend on the severity and durationof the illness or injuryandcan ran-ge from between two to six consul-tations. Consultation time rangesfrom 45 to 60 minutes.

LIAM MOSES

WESTERN PROVINCE made heavy workof defeating an unfancied Eastern Prov-ince Kings side during a Vodacom Cupmatch at City Park in Crawford at theweekend.

The match was held at the ground, insteadof regular venue Newlands, to celebrate its50th birthday but the rugby on display washardly worthy of the occasion.

Province named a strong, experiencedteam to face their neighbours, and the EPKings seemed like a team of complete un-knowns by comparison. The home side boast-

ed several players with Super Rugby experi-ence in key positions, including fullback CurtColeman, wing Danie Poolman, flyhalfDemetri Catrikilis, scrumhalf Nic Groom,lock Rynhard Elstadt and prop WicusBlaauw.

The most well-known name on the visitor’steam-sheet was former Bulls backline playerTiger Mangweni.

But despite their supposed superiority, WPonly just managed to pull off a victory in thedying seconds of the encounter.

The Kings went into the match brimmingwith confidence, on the back of a 40-23 maul-ing of the Border Bulldogs in their previousgame, and in the first half they played with

both the proverbial and literal wind at theirbacks. The visitors opened the scoring in thesixthminutewitha try fromwingAndileWit-booi, and went on to dominate the possessionand territory in the first half thanks to indis-cipline and unforced errors from the hostsand the advantage of their opponents havingto play into a strong wind.

EP’s first half dominance was interruptedonly by a try from WP wing Edries Arendseand penalties from flyhalf Demetri Catrikilis,and their superiority showed on the score-board as they went into half-time leading 19-11. WP were a much improved side when theyreturned from the half-time break and, aidedby now playing with the wind, they managed

to creep up into touching distance of EP afterlowering their error count and cutting downon the amount of penalties they conceded.

A series of penalties from Catrikilis sawthem narrow the deficit to just two pointswith only four minutes left on the clock.

And in the final minute of the game, withEP leading 25-23, outside centre JP du Plessisscored the winning try of the match after sev-eral phases of patient build-up fromProvince.

The final whistle was blown immediatelyafter Catrikilis goaled the resulting conver-sion, givingWPa30-25 victoryover theKings.

Western Province play the Border Bulldogsin their next match, and will hope to put ina more convincing performance.
