DA holds ontolocal wards
BRAND NEW: School shoes to the value of R44 000 were donated to children in Westlake on Thursday 19May. The shoes were donated to students at Westlake Primary School and Emmanuel Educare by the BobsFor Good foundation. Westlake Primary received 330 pairs and 110 pairs were donated to Emmanuel. Thedonation was made possible by pupils at Reddam House school in Tokai. The students raised over R73 000from several events, including a barefoot day at the school on Tuesday 5 May where students at the schoolpaid to come to school barefoot so they could experience how difficult life can be without shoes.

LIAM MOSES
THE Democratic Alliance(DA) strengthened its foot-
hold in the Constantia/Wynbergvoting district, retaining all sixwards in the area and also in-creasing its winning margin.
These local results differ from thenational picture, where the partyshowed moderate, but significantgrowth.
The DA’s total percentage of na-tional votes increased from16,3%to23,3%.
In Ward 62 (Bishop’s Court, Con-stantia, Newlands, Plumstead, Ta-ble Mountain and Wynberg) the DAgained over 92% of all votes cast –representing an increase of over9%.
Liz Brunette, the newly installedward councillor for the area, tookover as the DA candidate afterformer councillor, Neil Ross, re-tired.
Brunette, a first-time councillor,attributed her overwhelming victo-ry to the amount of campaigningput in during the final run-up to theelections. “Hard work was put intocanvassing the area,” says Bru-nette.
“We ha-ven’t ma-naged toreach eve-ry singlehouseholdbut we have canvassed many of thepeople in this ward over the pastfive weeks. We have had events, andthe public was aware of the reasonwhy they have to vote and the re-sponsibility they have.”
Brunette also noted that therewas a conspicuous lack of effortfrom other parties in the area in
this regard.The African National Congress
(ANC) managed to earn 5,8% of thevotes.
In Ward 63 (Kenilworth, Fair-ways, Youngsfield, Plumstead,Wynberg, Ottery and Wetton), theDA once again showed a massivegain in support with the percentageof votes for the party increasing byover 30%, from 50,69% to 82,52%.
The victory means that Mont-gomery Oliver will retain his seat.
The ANC earned 10,49% of thevotes in the ward, and was the onlyother party with a significantshare.
Denis Joseph is another DA can-didate who has also retained his po-sition as councillor.
Joseph gained the seat in the 2006municipal elections, after winningover 76% of the total votes cast.
On Wednesday 18 May, over 89%of the voters in Ward 71 (Bergvliet,Constantia, Heathfield, Kirstenhof,Lakeside, Retreat and Steenberg)elected to keep Joseph as theircouncillor for another five years.
Joseph believes that his victory isdue to the service delivery levelsachieved during his term.
“I regard my victory as a land-slide, and Ithink it’sbecause Ihave mademyself visi-ble throughthe various
structures that exist in the area –the ratepayers associations, thecommunity policing forums, neigh-bourhood watches and the non-gov-ernmental organisations.”
Joseph adds that the DA’s incor-poration of the Independent Demo-crats (ID) was also a factor in thelarge increase in support for the
party.He says the large number of votes
earned at the Westlake polling sta-tion were a direct result of the ID’ssupport in the area.
In the 2006 municipal elections,the ID claimed over 6% of the votesin the ward.
The ANC support in Ward 71 hasdropped slightly from the 12,63% ofvotes they earned in 2006 to 8,52%this year.
In Ward 72 (Heathfield, Elfindale,Retreat, Steenberg North, Park-wood, Southfield and Grassy Park)another DA landslide victory haskept the party’s incumbent council-
lor inhis seat for another five years.Jan Burger was voted in as coun-
cillor after gaining a majority of49,19% at the 2006 elections.
And an increase of almost 40%has given Burger another five-yearterm in the ward.
Burger says he believes that thesupport brought into the DA by theID made only a small difference inhis ward.
However, the ID did gain over23% of the votes in Ward 72 at the2006 local elections.
Support for the ANC in the wardhas also diminished significantly,from 15,14% to 7,04%.
Carol Bew retained her seat ascouncillor of Ward 73 (Bergvliet,Constantia, Diep River, Meadow-ridge and Plumstead), increasingher winning margin from the84,82% of votes she earned in the2006 elections, to 94,74% this year.
Ward 74 (Clifton, Camps Bay, Ba-koven, Llandudno and Hout Bay)was believed to have been the areawith the greatest possibility of apower-shift, because ImizamoYethu and Hangberg are perceivedto be ANC strongholds. However,the DA again won fairly comforta-bly, with Marga Haywood taking58% of the votes to retain her seat.
DA wins all six wards in theConstantia and Wynberg district

Commuters fumeas Metrorail cutscarriagesTAMMY PETERSEN
REPAIRS by Metrorail on damagedcarriages has seen a decrease in
the number of coaches on trains, cau-sing even more overcrowding on thealready capacity-filled trains.
But despite Metrorail’s claims of wor-king “aggressively” on a short-term re-covery plan to ensure that every availa-ble train is in service, commuters say theservice provider should have informedcommuters of planned car-riage cuts, and made provi-sion for additional trains torun during the repair pro-cess.
Former eight-coachtrains have been reduced tosevenand in somecases six-coach trains.
Metrorail regional ma-nager, Lindelo Matya, saystrains are shortened whencarriages that display de-fects related to the aging ofinfrastructure are repairedon site or are temporarilyremoved to be repaired.
He says the entire train or some car-riages can also be permanently or tempo-rarily removed from service, dependingon the extent of the breakdown and itsrail-worthiness.
But commuters, who are being forcedinto fewer carriages, remain unim-pressed with the service provided byMetrorail.
Jessica le Grange says she has “lostabout 10 kilos” from being squashed inthe third-class carriage she takes fromPlumstead Station to Salt River.
“I didn’t think it would be possible toovercrowd trains more than they were afew months ago, but Metrorail has doneit again.
“This situation is ridiculous, but formany of us, this is the most cost-effective
way to get to work.“I am seriously considering rather
forking out more and being comfortablethan risking my life on an overcrowdedcarriage.”
Miles Sibanye, from Steurhof, says itis inevitable that someone will fall froma moving train.
“The situation is especially bad atWynberg station. It’s dangerous and dis-gusting that we have to travel like cattleon a truck.
“Metrorail makes millions every year.Can’t they treat their cus-tomers better? Theyshould be increasing thenumber of carriages in-stead of cutting down.”
Matya acknowledgesthat a “limited number” oftrain sets currently ope-rate without the requisitenumber of carriages.
“These carriages are be-ing maintained, and due tooccasional lack of suffi-cient spare capacity, weare forced to operate shor-ter trains rather that can-
celling the entire set.“Our rolling stock depot is working flat
out to repair the vandalised couches withan intention of returning them back toservice as soon as possible.”
He adds that most of the work has beenoutsourced to private contractors tospeed up the process of returning thesesets to service.
“These efforts, however, will be in vainif the commuters do not join hands withMetrorail security and law enforcementto report any incident of vandalism andmalicious damage to the coaches.”
Report vandalism to. Crime Stop on 08600 10111;. The Metrorail Protection Service on
(021) 449-4336, or. The Transport Information Centre
on 0800 65 64 63.

Rental units not a goodidea – housing directorateLIAM MOSES
THE City of Cape Town’s de-partment of housing has
raised concerns about aplanned R220 million rentalhousing development ear-marked for Imizamo Yethu.
This housing project has beenin the pipeline for the past 10years and, on Wednesday 11 May,the City council made the deci-sion to build multi-storey units –to be rented to the recipients – in-stead of free-standing houses,which would have been owned bythe recipients.
Herman Steyn, the City’s man-ager for new housing, says thatwhile the flats would allow formore shack dwellers to be givenhomes, there are worries that themonthly rental fees will go un-paid.
“We as the housing departmenthad some concerns because of theabsence of a rental culture in Imi-zamo Yethu,” said Steyn.
“There is no rental (govern-ment) housing there at the mo-ment. All the housing is owned bythe residents.
“Ourexperience is that inareaslike Joe Slovo, where the N2 gate-way project has been built, andMasiphumelele, where the Ama-khaya Ngaogu project has beenbuilt, is that the payment of rentis very low.
“It is below 10%. The argumentis that it’s because you’re intro-ducing a new housing type andpeople aren’t used to in the area.”
The development will see 1 100units built, in three- or four-sto-rey blocks of flats, on vacant,City-owned land which formerlybelonged to the provincial forest-ry department.
All of the homes will be allocat-ed to Imizamo Yethu residents –under the City’s housing alloca-tion policy.
The housing is predominantlyfor residents who earn less thanR3 500 a month but all who earnless than R7 000 a month will be
considered.Currently only 600 formalhous-
es exist in Imizamo Yethu.SiyabongaZimoshile, chairper-
son of the Hout Bay branch of theSouth African National Civic Or-ganisation (SANCO), says muchmore housing is needed in the ar-ea.
“I’m not happy about thenumber of houses being built,”says Zimoshile.
“We’re still going to have a lotof people in shacks.
“If I estimate, I think we needapproximately three times thatamount of housing. We’re happythat they have started buildinghouses but we want to appeal thatthey build more.”
Zimoshile adds that rentalhousing is not ideal, as most Imi-zamo Yethu residents would notbe able to afford the monthly pay-ments.
Steyn says the flats have not yetbeen designed, but that construc-tion could start as early as Janu-ary 2012. Cat exhibition fundraiser
THE Western Province Cat Clubwill be holding a charity cat exhibi-tion, sponsored by Hill’s Pet Nutri-tion, at the Paddocks Shopping Cen-tre, Racecourse Road, Milnerton,on Saturday 28 May from 09:00 to15:00.

Coffee and late hours all added upANDRE BAKKES
THE aroma of coffee greeted visi-tors to the Independent ElectoralCommission’s (IEC) ProvincialResults and Operations Centrein Bellville South on Tuesday.
And it took litres of the stuff tokeep the die-hard candidates, IECstaff and media representativeswho made the centre their home inthe 72 hours before, during and af-ter the May 18 local governmentelection – awake and alert.
“We have contingencies in placefor every aspect of the plan, andhave contingencies for those con-tingencies as well,” said provincialelectoral officer, Courtney Samp-son, a day before the elections.
Unfortunately these plans did notinclude heaters or blankets for theodd hundred who braved the coldnights in the hall.
For three long days and nights, acouple of chairs or a hard floor dou-bled as beds for the desperate.
But it was, nonetheless, hearten-ing to hear that everything thatcould possibly go wrong during thevoting process had been analysedand planned for by the IEC.
With 2 706 736 registered votersin the province, 387 wards, 1 572 vot-ing locations, 16 000 volunteers, 400areamanagers, 31municipal IECof-fices and 25 municipal officers, itsuffices to say that plans (and plansto deal with those plans) would playa vital part in ensuring a free andfair election.
Early on Wednesday, officials,VIPs and the media opened the daywith an inter-faith moment ofprayer, but before words like“Amen” or “Ameen” stopped echo-ing in the hall, life at the centrewent into overdrive.
Thehustle andbustle conjuredanimage in my mind of a well-oiledmachine which was finally fulfill-ing its role. I’ve never been in a“war room”, but my Masters degreein Hollywood Science led me to be-lieve that the centre was just that.
Everyone was performing a vitalrole, and together theyorchestratedsomething of great significance.
The energy around the place wasintoxicating, and most questionswere answered with long, beautiful-ly crafted and passionate respons-es.
In the middle of the hall, 22 IECofficials who worked in what isknown as the operations hub at-tended to calls from the voting sta-tions and sometimes even the pub-lic.
Television stations lined up theVIPs for interviews, and journalistswere typing on their laptops withverve.
The coffee made its first appear-ance almost inconspicuously. Eventhough everyone there was underno illusions that the next few days(and nights) would be tough, fewwould have expected that a love af-fair of such magnitude would devel-op between them and that won-drous bean.
The results started trickling inlater that day to much fanfare, butthe energy levels seemed to set withthe sun.
Various press conferences andvoting updates spurred moments ofcommotion, and then handsreached for the empty mugs again.
Every now and again a personarmed with a Red Bull would zippast and talk really quickly, butmost would be concentrating onsoothing their heavy eyelids.
One woman thought she couldstay awake by drinking copiousamounts of muscle relaxants, butshe fainted and had to be rushed tohospital.
Questions were few and far be-tween, since the answers dwindledto one or two words.
“Why?” often cued “because”.The cold hall was magnificently
decorated with South African flags,IEC banners, colourful ribbons andemblems of political parties, but allthis counted for nothing in Arctic-like conditions.
Some ANC and Cope representa-tives made a fire in one of thehearths, which brought out somelight-hearted speculation that theremight be a coalition on the cards.
The return of the sun was eagerlyanticipated, and was eventuallywelcomed with open arms.
Spirits lifted and answers length-ened.
Results were coming in thick andfast, and generous adrenaline

What next forthe IEC?LIAM MOSES
WHERE does the Independent ElectoralCommission (IEC) turn its attention af-ter elections?
Now that the votes have been cast, theballots counted and the winning partiesdeclared, the organisation’s immediateresponsibility was the dismantling ofvoting stations during the first two daysafter election day.
According to Courtney Sampson, headof the IEC in the Western Cape, the or-ganisation now starts another, smallerelections process.
“Our next step is that we are going tohave a workshop with our employees toprepare for the election of councillors tocouncil,” says Sampson.
“They will be ready to run those elec-tions by the time those councils aremeant to be constituted, and that has tohappen within 14 days of the elections.”
The IEC is also charged with educat-ing voters, and once the councils ofSouth Africa’s municipalities have beenreconstituted, the organisation will con-tinue the ongoing process of educatingSouth Africans about their votingrights.
Over the next few months, IEC em-ployees will visit schools and rural areasaround South Africa to explain to citi-zens how elections work.
It is also the responsibility of the IECto ensure that council seats that becomevacant in the time between municipalelections are filled.
Although the IEC used the services of16 000 volunteers in the Western Capefor the purposes of the elections, Samp-son is one of only 15 full-time IEC em-ployees at the organisation’s provincialhead office who manage and work to car-ry out these important tasks, and manyothers.
But the thousands of political partyposters that cover lamp posts across thecountry are not the IEC’s responsibility.
The posters will need to be taken downby the political parties within 10 days ofthe election, or they will be removed bythe municipality, which will thencharge the responsible party.
Smooth sailing at Tokai stationsPEOPLE’S POST visited three ofthe four voting stations in Ward 71on Wednesday 18 May.
At the Tokai library, on TokaiRoad, voters were queuing as earlyas 08:40.
At nearby Kirstenhof PrimarySchool, there were no queues at allwhen the People’s Post arrived ataround 09:20.
Voters and their family memberstrickled into the school hall andcame out less than five minutes lat-er, after casting their ballots.
Several voters who spoke to Peo-ple’s Post said they had been sent to
the Kirstenhof Primary School vot-ing station after initially going tothe Zwaanswyk High School sta-tion.
At Zwaanswyk, the third votingstation visited, very few voterswere seen at 09:40.
The Democratic Alliance (DA)was the only political party with apresence at the stations visited.
The DA had tables positioned out-side the voting station boundary,and several voters could be seentalking to the party’s agents andlooking at the promotional materi-als.

glands kick-started a busy Thurs-day for everyone.
On Friday morning there wasprecious little energy in reserve forthe brave. All that was left was theirunwavering belief that their effortsfurthered the cause of democracy inSouth Africa.
The whole election process wasdescribed by the IEC as a nation-building event which would go onto fill each voter with pride and abelief in a brighter tomorrow.
Now that the 2011 elections havebeen consigned to history, I look atthe effort put in by officials and themostly peaceful procession of vot-ers last Wednesday, and I am proudof what our country has become –a fledgling democracy fuelled byfreedom, reason, mutual respectand coffee.

Woman (78) held hostageLIAM MOSES
A 78-YEAR-OLD Constantia woman washeld hostage when a man broke into herDoordrift Road house yesterday morning.
The woman was returning to her bedroomafter going to the kitchen to make a cup oftea when she was confronted by a man.
Warrant Officer Keith Chandler, spokes-person for the Diep River police, says that theman grabbed the complainant.
“On her return to her bedroom she was con-fronted by a man who threatened her if shemade a sound,” says Chandler.
“The woman was forced to open her safe,and jewellery, cash and personal items werestolen from her. The suspect then fled onfoot”.
The value of the stolen items is unknown.Chandler adds that the suspect is believed
to have gained access to the house by remov-
ing a window.The man did not have a weapon and the
complainant was not injured in the robbery.A case of house robbery has been opened
and no suspects have been arrested.On Monday 16 May, the Diep River police
arrested three men wanted in connectionwith at least nine cases of armed robbery.
It was originally believed that one of thesuspects was Ebrahim Rinquest, a man cur-rently facing several charges of armed rob-bery, after the Bergvliet, Kruepelbosch andMeadowridge (BKM) Watch released a pressstatement about the arrest.
However, Chandler says the man was notEbrahim Rinquest, but added that the sus-pect’s surname was Rinquest.
“One of the suspect’s surnames is Rinquestbut he is not connected to the Rinquest gangat all.
“To our knowledge there is no connection”said Chandler.
The men were arrested at a house in Mitch-ell’s Plain after the Diep River police followedup a tip-off from an informant.
The men were found in possession of ablack Renault Clio which is believed to havebeen used in several of the robberies. The carbelongs to a family member of one of the sus-pects.
Chandler would not say which suspect wasrelated to the car or in which part of Mitch-ell’s Plain the men were arrested as he main-tains that it would jeopardise the investiga-tion. The suspects were also found in posses-sion of a plastic, replica gun.
The case has since been moved to SAPS Or-ganised Crime Unit as it involves several cas-es which are spread over three or more policestations. Chandler could not say whether themen had appeared in court by the time of go-ing to print.
. In Hout Bay, a man was assaulted by anintruder in his Armour Road, Penzance Es-
tate home on Sunday 22 May.According to Warrant Officer Tanya Lesch,

“The complainant and his wife were watch-ing TV downstairs. When he went upstairsand he was confronted by a stranger insidehis bedroom,” said Lesch.
“The suspect attacked him and punchedhim in the face and fled through the bedroomwindow. Another suspect was at the frontgate and they fled the scene.”
The complainant did not suffer any seriousinjuries, and nothing was stolen from thehouse.
A case of housebreaking has been opened.The Hout Bay police also made 45 arrests lastweek, including two for assault, two for as-sault to cause grievous bodily harm, one forarmed robbery, five for possession of daggaand five armed robberies within the precinct.

The upsidedown worldof dirty old EskomTONY ROBINSON
IN a recent column we lookedat solar water heaters and howthey could save R300 a monthon your electricity bill. Nowlet’s turn all that upside downand look at it from the point ofview of the municipality andEskom.
Every solar geyser installedmeans a saving for you and a lossof roughlyR3 500 ayear in incomefor the City of Cape Town. A thou-sand installations will take theannual loss in revenue toR3,5 million.
Cape Town, however, has a pop-ulation in excess of three million,so the idea of solar panels on250 000 roofs is not unreasonable,but it would cost the CityR875 million a year in lost reve-nue at today’s prices. Next yearthe figure will top the billion randmark. And that will make a hugehole in the municipal budget!
Less than 10% of the country’spopulation lives in Cape Town, sowe can multiply the local figureby 10 and that means a potentialloss of R10 billion a year for mu-nicipalities across the country.The Eskom share of the losswould probably be R5 billion orR6 billion.
Solar water heaters are some-thing of a nightmare for the mu-
nicipalities and Eskom.Of course they have to make the
right noises, so Eskom tells us totweak the geyser temperature,use fluorescent lights and not toput too much water in the kettleto save electricity.
What we are seeing, folks, areconjuring tricks. A big distract-ing fuss over little things likekeeping the fridge door closedwhile great and highly profitableamounts of electricity continue tobe consumed by electric geysers.
The national energy plan saysdemand side management hasbarely scratched the surface of
the potential saving. And then itignores the obvious benefits andpredicts a huge increase in de-mand and the desperate need forhalf a dozen nuclear power sta-tions.
If the government was seriousabout the energy crisis therewould be a plan to phase out thepure electric geyser over, say,five years. Perhaps even a tax onelectric geysers to subsidise solarwater heaters.
The other evil in Eskom’snightmare is gas. A combined cy-cle gas power station would becheaper, cleaner and more effi-cient than anything Eskom isbuilding now. Even worse is thatit would open the way for a reticu-lated supply of natural gas to in-dustrial areas, and make it possi-ble for many factories to use gasfor their process heat. And Es-kom would lose major customers.
In fact, three plans for gas pow-er stations in the Western Capehave already been shot down.They were probably seen as thethin end of a dangerous wedge.
So the upside-down picture isthat solar water heaters, gas andserious energy saving are bad fordirty old Eskom, even thoughthey would be good for the coun-try, the climate and for us. Thegreat truth, folks, is that the elec-tricity you don’t use is the cheap-est electricity of all.

ETV’s Naked News, broadcast on a Fri-day night/early Saturday morning afterthe 22:00 movie, has unlocked controver-sy among various organisations taking a
stand for family values, including theFamily Policy Institute, which has calledon members of the public to write in toetv in protest against the show. In the
show, woman presenters present art, en-tertainment and lifestyle news either na-ked or while stripping down. etv says theshow will be aired over the next 12 weeks.
Time to deliverTHE local government elections are over; theelectorate has played its part, the IEC has en-sured a free and fair process, the victors havebroken open the champers and the van-quished have regrouped.
Now the real work begins.Every single election, be it municipal or na-
tional, be it at home or abroad, is characte-rised by electioneering. This courtship pro-mises voters the world – in this case, the city.
Politicians pull out all the stops, unreser-vedly so.
Their ultimate goal is power; power thatcorrupts; absolute power that corrupts abso-lutely – as (loosely) quoted by 19th centuryhistorian and moralist John Emerich Ed-ward Dalberg Acton, who said: “Power tendsto corrupt, and absolute power corrupts abso-lutely. Great men are almost always badmen.”
True or false?In the political context, it has been shown
to be the former and the names of some“great” South African men spring to mind.
One man’s name stands out, though – thatof an internationally-revered great man, ourown former president Nelson Mandela, whodid not succumb to the intoxicating lure ofpower.
Election results are proof that “the peoplehave spoken” and during this municipal elec-tions, the people elected to keep the ANC inpower, nationally.
But in the coveted Western Cape, the DAhas triumphed, obtaining an outright majori-ty in a number of Western Cape municipali-ties, including Cape Town, where the partysecured 135 seats, followed by the ANC with73, and the ACDP and Cope, with three seatseach.
Delivery is crucial to running a city suc-cessfully, especially one as diverse as CapeTown. More importantly, though, the onus ison all political parties and their candidatesto honour the mandate voters have entrustedthem with and play equal leading roles in ele-vating all nine provinces to world-class stan-dards.
Traffic headachesWE, the residents of Dick Burton Road,Plumstead, herewith implore the resi-dent councillor, Carol Bew, to addressthe vehicular problems pertaining to theour road.
We have a few collective suggestionsaimed at reducing the amount of speed-ing, ensuring that drivers stop at stopsigns, increasing neighbourhood pedes-trian safety and reducing vehicle noiseand air pollution.
We request that:. Speed bumps be constructed be-
tween the four-way stops on Dick BurtonRoad.
. Pedestrian crossing traffic lights beerected on Dick Burton at the ChurchillRoad intersection so that school pupilsmay cross safely.
. A traffic circle and/or traffic robotbe built at the dangerous T-junction atDick Burton and Victoria Roads.
. A single one-way off-ramp fromTotnes Road on to the M5 be built to easetraffic congestion in the area.
We welcome the councillor to visit theDick Burton Road residents.
In a sign of support to this brief, we willtie a coloured ribbon to our front proper-ty fences.CONCERNED RESIDENTS OF DICKBURTON ROADPlumstead

Do you have a kitchen for us?GAURANGA PEACE MEALS is a regis-tered NGO that operates in and aroundthe Cape Town CBD with the objectivesof elevating the growing need of “genuinenutrition” to those who are displaced atpresent.
It is a fact that society would ratherhave the homeless removed from theirareas than propose a workable solution.
There are many organisations in oper-ation, some for decades, who have stillnot managed to improve the conditionsof those in need or go beyond “the soupkitchen”.
Gauranga Peace Meals is one of twovegetarian food relief organisations inthe world.
We supply ready-cooked, wholesomevegetarian meals to anybody free ofcharge.
These meals are also sanctified foods,which means the meals have the potencyto purify the soul, that is, bring about achange of heart.
You cannot expect the same from the
meals served out at the “soup kitchens”,as most contain meat and meat products,which are both contrary to attaining“peace”.
Even the vegetarian meals are of suchpoor quality that they only provide a tem-porary solution.
Weaim toprovide otherNGOswithourmeals to assist them in identifying chil-dren that are new to the streets and arevulnerable.
In the future we hope to assist poorerschoolchildren with healthy, balancedmeals free of charge.
We are desperately in need of a premis-es to operate our kitchen from and havesearched the preferred area from CapeTown to Observatory, but with the eyehave located nothing.
Please, we appeal to you to help us inour search. Too often the right place is ly-ing vacant, but is not always effectivelydisplayed in the media.RASIKA RAI DASGauranga Peace Meals

This vision will become reality whenthe Jive Slave Route Chal-lenge kicks off on Sunday12 June.
It will consist of fourevents; a half marathon, a10km run or race/walk, a5km fun run or walk, anda 10km big walk.
According to FaroukMeyer, organiser of theevent, the race is designedto place emphasis on thehistoric sites built and cre-ated by the slaves.
“This race has to be dif-ferent to the other races inCape Town, because al-most the whole of CapeTown was built by slaves,and there are many histor-ical landmarks to be seen,”says Meyer.
The race starts off inDarling Street in front ofthe City Hall, moves upKeizergracht towards Dis-trict Six, down RoelandStreet into Orange Street,then through the Company’s Garden andinto Bo-Kaap before the race finishes onthe Grand Parade.
Some of the landmarks along the routeinclude:
. The Whipping Post on the corner ofBuitenkant and Darling streets, whichwasonceaplaceof tortureandexecution.
This was a post to which slaves and con-victed persons were tied while receivingcorporal punishment.
. The Auwal Mosque in Bo-Kaap’sDorp Street is the oldest mosque in thecountry. The Muslim faith was broughtto South Africa by slaves brought toSouth Africa by the Dutch East India
Company. This mosque’shistory dates back to 1794and the property wasowned by a freed slave, Sa-lie Coridon, of Ceylon.
. Old Slave Church,South African Mission Mu-seum at the top of LongStreet, was founded by theSA Missionary Society in1799 to spread Christianityto the slaves.
. The Castle of GoodHope was built by theDutch in 1666 after their ar-rival.
The Castle was erected asa five-pointed star on theforeshore of Cape Town. Itis one of the oldest surviv-ing buildings in SA.
“Everybody is encour-aged to join the race, be-cause it’s an opportunity toexplore your history dur-ing a race, which is some-thing different and excit-ing,” says Meyer.
People’s Post is proud to be the printmedia sponsor of this event.
Entry forms for the race will be madeavailable on Thursday 26 May. For fur-ther information, visit www.itheko.orgor contact Farouk on 083 460 6736 or Fati-ma on 083 943 6236 or Shiehaam on084 991 1200.

Songs for sunflowersTHE Valley Christian ChurchBand has become well-known tothe Fish Hoek community fortheir top-class musical perform-ances over many years.
In addition to leading worshipfor the church, this talentedgroup reaches out into the com-munity to raise awareness andfunds for the Sunflower Fund, acause close to the team’s heart.
The relationship with the Sun-flower Fund began eight yearsago, when one of the band’s lead-ers, talented musician, youngwife and new mother, SarahHechter, was diagnosed with ter-minal cancer.
The support she received fromthe Sunflower Fund during herillness was phenomenal.
They managed to source a bonemarrow donor for Sarah but, sad-ly, she passed away before thetransplant could take place.
During her illness, Sarah andthe band began to raise aware-ness for this cause throughtheir music, and Sarah wroteand recorded “The Song of theSunflower”.
Since her passing, the VCCband has continued to supportthe Sunflower Fund, in Sarah’smemory. All proceeds fromthese concerts go to the Sun-flower Fund. This year, theband will be joined by the FishHoek Primary School Dramagroup and the Sarah CookneyAcademy of Dance.
“Thank You for the Music”will be staged on 23, 24, 25 Juneat the Fish Hoek High School at19:00. Tickets for seats in thehall are R50 and R100 for gal-lery seats. Tickets will be avail-able at the door if the show hasnot been sold out. To buy a tick-et, phone 082 215 2142.

Presenting ... Mel Miller!BARRY HILTON
gave a consum-mate performance thatis still rememberedfondly in Fish Hoek,and next up on theComedy Legends in theValley series is the gi-ant of stand-up come-dy, Mel Miller – a larg-er-than-life presencein South African ven-ues and TV loungessince 1963.
Mel will be performingin Fish Hoek on Satur-day 11 June in the FishHoek High School Hall,which is becoming quitethe entertainment ven-ue!
The appearance – and indeed the entireComedy Legends in the Valley series – isa fundraiser for the Shark Spotters. BarryHilton’s show was a sold-out success witha capacity crowd of 570 people enjoyinghis classic comedy in May.
The Comedy Legends in the Valley se-ries is organised by local comedian MarkSampson, who had the idea to bring all thecomedy legends down to the south penin-sula so that local audiences could be treat-ed to South Africa’s best – while support-ing a good cause. The series is proudlysupported by People’s Post as print mediasponsor.
Mel Miller has just returned from asold-out show at the Sydney Opera Houseand has also recently been awarded theComic’s Choice Lifetime AchievementAward.
He is very well-known for his “Potroast
and Biltong” TVshow in the 1970s, inwhich South Africancomedians were pit-ted against Britishcomedians. The showreally took off and atone stage had moreviewers than the BBCprogramme “TheWorld at War”.
Mel has crossed thesometimes delicatelines of age, cultureand colour and in theapartheid days rel-ished telling it as it is.He was picked up bythe security cops in1985 after a show atthe Carlton Hotel, tak-en to the Hillbrow po-
lice station, and roughed up for his anti-government comedy.
Mel has appeared in nearly all theSmirnoff Comedy festivals; co-wrote, pro-duced and directed a show with the lateShaun Griggs (“Things To Do In Jo’burgWhen You’ve Forgotten That You’reDead”; packed for three weeks); sold outat the Grahamstown Festival twice;toured with his own shows (Captain Cha-os, Captain Chaos Flies Again and DivineMadness); and worked in Israel with CyrilGreen and Eddie Eksteen and in Londonas part of a South African Comedy Festi-val.
Tickets to his show on 11 June, whichstarts at 19:00, cost R100 if pre-booked on078 174 4244 or R120 at the door on thenight. Tickets can also be bought at APJones in Fish Hoek Main Road.
Be sure to not miss this legend!
Mel Miller will be in Fish Hoek on11 June in the next instalment ofthe Legends in the Valley series.

Allister vs Jake –Allister vs Jake –coaching duel awaitscoaching duel awaitsTASMIN CUPIDO
AMATCH of two halves –this is how one can de-
scribe thematchbetweentheDHL Stormers and the Bluesat Eden Park in Auckland onFriday morning.
And with the Blues convinc-ingly taking the first of the twohalves, going into half-timewith a 19-3 lead, no Stormersfan can be criticised for not be-lieving that their team couldcome back to win the match.
But it was the men from theCape who came back gunsablaze, winning the most im-portant half and securing theirfirst win on their tour of Aus-tralasia.
They beat the home side 28-26, with a last-minute try bycaptain Schalk Burger, and anall-important conversion by stand-in flyhalf,Dewaldt Duvenage.
The relatively young side, without manyof their experienced stalwarts, stood up tothe challenge laid down by the Blues, withthe centre pairing of Johann Sadie and Juande Jongh undoubtedly the stars in the per-formance.
“They were playing against some prettygood opposition, and showed some greattouches. I am really pleased with their per-formance,” coach Allister Coetzee said of theyoung duo’s performance.
“The win is a massive morale booster forthis side, and definitely stands us in greatstead for the rest of the competition.”
The men from the Cape now turn theirsights to the capital of Australia, Canberra,where they will face a struggling Brumbiesside. And it is also in this match where Co-etzee will meet his former coaching team-mate, Jake White, who recently accepted theposition of head coach of the two-time cham-pionship side. However, he will only be as-suming duty in 2012, but a recent surge inplay by the Brumbies – they drew 13-13 to theWestern Force in Perth on Saturday – indi-cates that White may already be assistingthe side.
With White and Coetzee working closelyto secure the 2007 World Cup victory for the
Springboks, it will be interesting to see justhow much these two breeders remember ofthe others’ style and coaching techniques.
The Brumbies’ preparations have beenmarred by the fact that star performers suchas Matt Giteau, Adam Ashley-Cooper andMark Chisholm have already signed up withother teams for next season, while injuriesto the likes of captain, Rocky Elsom, haveforced them to field relatively inexperiencedsides week after week.
However, one can never write off a sidelike the Brumbies, who have also been run-ners-up in the competition on three occa-sions. And with key players such as Jeande Villiers, Jaque Fourie and Peter Grant re-turning from injury, team selection will beinteresting, after the performance by Sadieand De Jongh last weekend. Many have indi-cated that Coetzee and backline coach, Rob-bie Fleck should look to rest the pairing –De Villiers and Fourie – before the laststretch of the competition, while others havesaid that the two should play with the young-er pairing playing on wing. If that shouldhappen, the experience of Bryan Habana(wing) and Conrad Jantjes (fullback) will belost, with paceman, Gio Aplon moving tofullback. A different approach may not al-ways be necessary, but could prove vital inthe remaining weeks of the competition.
