SIMON’S TOWN

No tea todrink oncouchesNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Staff at a Simon’s Town furniture shopdowned tools this week after beingforced to work without running water

for almost four months.Water to the property was reportedly cut

off early in February due to an outstandingrates bill.

Mayoral committee member for financeIan Neilson confirms that due to non-pay-ment and no payment arrangement, the ser-vices were disconnected at the property on4 February, in terms of the relevant policiesand legislation.

An employee, who requested not to benamed, says staff of the Lewis store havebeen forced to use public toilets at the shop-ping centre across St George’s Road, whichrequires a R1 coin as entry. This has to bepaid out of the employees’ own pockets.

In addition, employees often have to begfor drinking water from neighbouringshops, taking their kettle to be filled by sur-rounding businesses.

No tea or coffee“It’s a huge inconvenience. We work withmoney all day but there is no water to washour hands with,” one employee says. “I haveto bring a bottle of water with me from myhouse.”

Another employee says they are still ex-pected to make sales, although they have totell customers there is no toilet and cannotoffer clients tea or coffee.

“We send our delivery staff to fetch waterin the morning. They’re basically stealing

it,” he says.The employees have reported the poor

working conditions to their human resour-ces department, a staff members says, andhave also approached unions.

But a lack of response left them despond-ent. Nearly a dozen employees refused toeven answer telephones.

City restoresLewis Group spokesperson Graeme Lillesays the landlord of the building housingthe Lewis store has met with the City ofCape Town to address the issue.

“The City has given an undertaking to re-store the water connection shortly. Lewismanagement has addressed the issue withits staff and are ensuring that water is be-ing made available for the bathrooms andfor drinking purposes,” he says.People’s Post was unable to reach the

property owner for comment.

Owner, tenant meetThe City met with the property owner andhis attorney in April and provided themwith all relevant information, Neilsonsays. “It must be noted that at that stagethe City had still not received any payment.The property owner’s attorney requested fora reconciliation of both water and electricityaccounts, which was provided to them,” hesays.

Last week, the attorney indicated a meet-ing would be set up between the tenants, Le-wis Stores, and the property owner in orderto determine either an equal monthly pay-ment plan or settlement of the full account,Neilson says.

Locals protest GMO foodCapetonians have taken to the street todemand correct labelling of geneticallymodified foods.

As part of an international protest, themarch took place in the city centre onSaturday.

Protesters claim that authorities havegiven into a handful of biotechnologycompanies by failing to require testingand labelling of genetically engineeredfoods.

Themarch is apro-organic, anti-trans-genic genetically modified organisms(GMO) campaignbeingheld on six conti-

nents and in over 500 cities worldwide.GMOs are organisms whose genetic

material have been artificially manipu-lated in a lab through genetic engineer-ing, says event organiser Jeannie Ross.

“GMOs are engineered to withstanddirect application of herbicide and/or toproduce an insecticide,” she says.

Concerned citizens aim to spreadawareness about the possible harmfuleffects of genetically modified food, todemand the right to natural medicinesand to support local small and organicfarmers.

While green shoots are slowly returningto the areas on Table Mountain affect-

ed by the recent wildfires, a local residenthas returned too.An adult male porcupine has been re-

leased back into Silvermine nature reserveafter being rehabilitated by the SPCA.The severelyburnedporcupinewas found

byanSPCAinspectornear theSanparksSil-vermine office off Ou Kaapse Weg twoweeks after the fire.The porcupine, unofficially nicknamed

“PP” due to his habit of peeing on anyoneand everyone, was taken to Cape of GoodHope SPCA’s Short Term Wildlife Care Fa-cility in Grassy Park, where his burns weretreated daily for two months.“He was treated by our on-site veterinari-

ans and wildlife inspectors. He was rescueda short distance from the road along Ou Ka-apseWeg in the Silvermine area, and sowasreleased back into the same section of theTableMountain National Park,” says SPCAspokesperson Wanika Davids.PP is one of many animals rehabilitated

after being injured in the fire, says Davids.“We rescued and cared for a number of tor-toises, snakes and porcupines and success-fully released two angulate tortoises, fourparrot-beak tortoises, a few Cape cobras,one puff adder, one boomslang and one por-cupine.”Another porcupine is still undergoing

treatment for his burnt feet, Davids says.“He is recovering exceptionally well and

we expect to take him home to the wild verysoon,” she says.Most of the animals suffered burns to

their feet or were displaced.“There was a grysbok that also came into

our centre after the fire, but succumbed tohis injuries which were sadly too severe.Three other porcupines also suffered moreseverewounds and did not survive,” Davidssays.However, healing the animals is only the

first step in recovery, Davids explains.“Wild animals belong in the wild – all

these animals are part of our wild, naturalfauna that call the national park home.They belong there. Our aim when helpingdisplaced or injured wildlife is to assistthem medically and return them to theirnatural habitats as quickly as possible,” sheexplains.V Report any displaced wildlife or animals in distressto 021 700 4158/9 or 083 326 1604 after hours.

Get fined if youignore alien invasionNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Do you have an alien in your garden? Ifso, you could find yourself on thewrong

side of the law.The council has warned residents

against growing invasive vegetation ontheir property, citing them as a fire risk.Several complaints have been reported

via the department of environmental af-fairs’ hotline, confirms Johan van derMer-we, mayoral committee member for ener-gy, environmental and spatial planning.“The process of issuing notices was acti-

vated. The City has issued one notice forovergrown land on Boyes Drive,” he says.Alien plants bring an increased risk dur-

ing wildfires, Van der Merwe explains.“Woody, invasive plants burn up to ten

times hotter than fynbos, making thesefires unstoppable during windy condi-tions. Hot fires also damage topsoil, whichin turn results in erosion,” he says. “In theabsence ofwoody, invasive plants, fires areless intense, easier to manage and lessdamaging to the soil.”Property owners are required to control

invasive plants on their entire propertyand not only the boundary, Van derMerwesays, or they could face a penalty.“The department of environmental af-

fairs’ biosecurity compliance section, inpartnership with the City of Cape Townand TableMountain National Park, will beissuing notices to landowners who are neg-ligent in their compliance with the regula-tions of the National Biodiversity Act,compelling them to control invasive plantsor face legal action,” he says.

Ocean View residentsmeet to addresss crimeOcean View residents are being invited to apublic meeting to tackle crime in their com-munity.Themeeting on Thursday comes after a re-

cent visit by provincial minister of commu-nity safety Dan Plato and residents’ sugges-tion to establish neighbourhood watches inthe area.The community, and many others in the

surrounding valley, are experiencing a “wor-sening security situation”, says Kathy Cron-je, Ocean View Community Police Forum(CPF) chairperson.“Every community can testify to a whole

range of crimes being committed againstproperty and people, and all of us have expe-rienced the general inability to get the policeforce to respond timeously and effectively,”she says.“While we understand that the entire po-

lice force is understaffed, underpaid andoverworked, and we recognise that, in thecircumstances, it must be very demoralisingfor good officers to do their work, we are ab-solutely shocked at the incompetence, disin-

terest and general unprofessionalism shownin somany instances and incidents that havecome to our attention.”The CPF has raised its concern about this

with the relevant authorities on numerousoccasions, yet they remain “either unwillingor unable to address even the most mundaneof problems”, Cronje says.“However, the CPF remains committed to

assisting our community in tackling some ofthese problems, many of which were high-lighted to Plato a couple of weeks ago,” shesays.At this meeting, residents also expressed

interest in a neighbourhood watch.“We would like to invite the people of

Ocean View to express their concerns to theCPF at an open public meeting, and to lookat moving forward with the new neighbour-hood watch and any other recommendationsfrom the community. Similar meetings willbe held in Masiphumelele and Kommetjie,”she says.V The first meeting will be held in the Ocean View civiccentre on Thursday at 18:00.

Residents have sayin area’s futureNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Publicmeetings are being held for sugges-tions for a development plan for Masi-

phumelele’s future.A report has been compiled of the current

state and a house-to-house survey is under-way to establish the needs of the communi-ty, the False Bay subcouncil heard lastweek.The framework plan will reflect a shared

vision for the area and provide solutions toimprove the well-being of residents.Subcouncil chairperson Felicity Pur-

chase says there is pressure to find morespace for housing in Masiphumelele, butthe quality of the wetlands and other infra-structure need to be considered first.“This is an attempt to get a handle on how

to improve the quality of life of the peopleliving there, not just in terms of housing,but also schools and job opportunities,” shesays.The framework will focus on infrastruc-

ture around transport, economy, social is-

sues and the water eco-system.During the presentation to the subcoun-

cil, City of Cape Town officials explainedwhich water flows from the mountains ofNoordhoek valley into the wetlands inwhich the township lies.Preliminary findings have shown a need

formore schools inMasiphumelele, as thereare currently one high and three primaryschools. This sees pupils forced to hitchhikeover Ou Kaapse Weg to attend schools inareas such as Westlake.It is estimated that another high school

and three primary schools are needed,based on the number of shacks and housesin Masiphumelele.Additional healthcare facilities are also

needed, as the clinic inMasiphumelele onlycares for children. Adults are forced to tra-vel to the Ocean View clinic, officials havefound.Workshops are currently being held with

the community, neighbouring suburbs andthe greater False Bay area.V The next meeting will take place at the Masi Metho-dist Church on Saturday at 15:00.

Xhosa-speaking children are invited toenter the Puku Children’s Literature Foun-dation story competition.The competition celebrates theXhosa lan-

guage and rich heritage of storytelling, butalso raises awareness of the importance oftaking care of the environment.The theme for this year’s competition is

Cape Town mustbe more ‘liveable’NICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Every resident has a part to play in drawinginvestment to Cape Town.

This was the message of Wesgro CEO TimHarris, who addressed the Mouille PointRatepayers’ Association on Thursday lastweek.

Wesgro is the official destina-tion marketing, investmentand trade promotion agency forthe Western Cape. It promotesCape Town and the region allover the world as an invest-ment destination and a place tosell products.

“To quote Michael Bloom-berg, if you want people to in-vest in your city, you have tomake it a city people want tolive in,” Harris said.

This means residents neededto be civic-minded and partnerwith the council and local agen-cies to prevent crime and makethe city more liveable, he said.

“There’s a whole lot going on that peopledon’t know about. We’ve got a lot to sell,”he said.

Wine and similar products sell them-selves – the agency needs to tell the unex-pected story, Harris said.

“There’s still the perception that if youwant to do business in South Africa, youneed to go to Johannesburg,” he said.

In his talk, Harris focused on three sec-tors, each of which has proven its viabilityas investment opportunities.

Harris told the story of Cape Town entre-preneur Cameron Stevens, who founded

Prodigy Finance, a company which offersloans to international postgraduate stu-dents at leading business schools.

As an INSEAD graduate who experiencedthe difficulties of financing an internation-al MBA, he and two fellow students set outto solve this problem.

When he approached venture capitalistsin the USA, Stevens was told hecouldn’t run a company likethis from Cape Town, Harrissaid.

Stevens has since proventhem wrong, having distribut-ed $50m in loans to postgradu-ate students from 90 nationali-ties, with exceptional repay-ment performance.

“When you look at assetmanagement, Africa’s moneyis now run out of Cape Town,”Harris said.

The food industry is anothergrowing sector, as illustratedby a local iced tea company.

“In 2009, a rooibos farmernamed Dave Evans started

making Bos iced tea,” Harris says. Today,the product is sold in 14 countries.

“Dave always says we need to ditch ourinferiority complex,” Harris said. “Withour diverse market, if you can sell a productin South Africa, you can sell it anywhere.”

And it’s not just small companies runningthe Cape Town food industry, Harris says,with retail giants like Pick n Pay, Wool-worths and Shoprite based in the Cape.

Manufacturers are also choosing CapeTown, with engines made for Mercedes-Benz trucks and flat-screen TVs producedfor Hisense in factories in Atlantis.

An application to establish a primaryschool inNoordhoekhasbeenapproved,

despite objections from neighbours.An application for the rezoning of aTico’s

Way property appeared before subcouncil19 last week. The application asks for per-mission for a small school to operate fromthe premises.

The application sees no changes to the ex-isting building, but neighbours feel theywere deceived when the rooms intended asclassrooms were constructed as a gamesroom, says lawyer Jo MacRoberts.

They school will cater for 34 pupils, be-tween grades one and seven. The propertyowner intends to move her current Montes-sori school to the site.

Neighbours believe the school will alterthe character of the area and could set aprecedent, MacRoberts says, while there

are other sites which are appropriatelyzoned.

The school will also cause an increase intraffic, she claims.

However, the application claims no sig-nificant increase in traffic will take place,as pupils are likely towalkor cycle to schooland a drop-off facility and parking is availa-ble on the property.

The proposed schoolwill be the onlyMon-tessori school for older pupils in the area,with thenext school over 20kmaway.Objec-tions based on other schools are not rele-vant to the application, as each should beassessed in its own right, the applicationstates.

Subcouncil chairperson Felicity Pur-chase says the application was approved,but the subcouncil also decided that condi-tions would be set at a later date.

She emphasised the need for schools inthe area, saying many schools were foundembedded in residential areas.

With over four million visitors a year, it’s easy to seeTable Mountain as a tourist destination.It is the perfect place to enjoy a picnic or watch the sun-

set. It’s a space to take the family or walk the dogs.But while we enjoy having one of the world’s natural

wonders on our doorstep, we should never underestimateMother Nature.The fact remains that our belovedmountain is just that

– a mountain. And with it comes any number of dangers.Yet every year we see tourists climbing the mountain

without water, in poor weather conditions and dressedinappropriately (some even wearing shorts and flip-flops). And a number of these hikers come off second best,with their day outing having the reputation of the“world’s most underestimated mountain”.Every year people go missing, are injured and even die

while climbing Table Mountain. Last year, the body ofa 23-year-old judo expert from Japan was found after hefell 30m. A two-week search is currently underway for amissing Muizenberg man who is thought to have gonehiking from Tafelberg Road.This is not to say you shouldn’t enjoy the World Heri-

tage Site. But you owe it to your family and to yourselfto take basic precautions.Tell someonewhere you are going and never hike alone

– four is considered the safest number for a hiking group.If lost, never split up. Rather retrace your steps. Makesure your cellphone is charged and you have the basics– sunblock, plenty of water, snacks and awaterproof jack-et. Don’t forget your hat and hiking boots.Choose your route carefully and stick to it. Allow your-

self enough time and start early. Don’t take on a trail be-yond your experience level. Watch the weather and time,and turn back before you start running late or if badweather threatens.

Attitude drives road accidentsI cannot understand how people stilldrive recklessly, still speed and stilldrink and drive even though they see orread how many persons are arrested forlast-mentioned.The carnage on the roads still carries

on unabated even if the law enforcementagencies announce they will be execut-ing roadblocks or checkpoints.The reason for this non-compliance to

the rules of the road or safe driving isattitude. Attitude is defined as “Aposition of the body or manner ofcarrying oneself, indicative of a mood orcondition”. Let’s go one step further –with attitude is another lane calledarrogance: “Excessively convinced ofone’s own self importance”.These two conditions put the foot hard

on the petrol pedal. I have personallyseen how others, and sorry to say myselftoo, experienced another vehicle justdriving too slowly for our liking orturning without using an indicator infront of us, then arrogance and attitudemake us become aggressive. Then the

foot is plunged hard on the pedal toexact road-rage revenge.The type of vehicle one drives also

triggers attitude and arrogance for somelaw-abiding citizens and then the vehicleof status or stature becomes an Arabianstallion ridden by a take-no-prisonergladiator.The music and the sound volume play

another role in the attitude and arrogantmannerisms of the normally passivedriver and here I speak of myself onceagain. I have discovered that when Iplay passive music I drive normally andmy foot is light on the petrol. But let meput on a catchy song, then I feel sohyped up that I develop an attitudewithin moments and that attitude andarrogance is suddenly reflected in myway of driving. If it affects me then whatabout other drivers?Let’s not forget the driver with the

pimp-my-ride vehicle, the super soupedup vehicle – once the key is turned thepeacock attitude kicks in and when thepedal paddling is enhanced the arrogant,

untrained racing driver makes the roadhis racing track with no regard orrespect for other road users or residentsresiding along the trail blazed.Lastly, the one for the road, that one

is normally way and above the legallimit and then the attitude is thosefamous words “I can drive my car”. Thatarrogant nature makes you the mostdangerous potential killer on the high-ways and byways.The above is a summary of the main

causes of death and destruction of lifeand property on our roads. I want ourminister of transport and all thoseinvolved in traffic management to get anattitude and also become arrogant byreducing the speed limit as speed kills.I requesting the courts to increase the

penalties of those found guilty. We needto see those fines in our media andsocial networks on a monthly basis.This strategy will put the brakes on

attitudes and arrogance of all road users.ALFRED ADOLPH BLAKE,

Ottery

Debate requires cool headsI have noted with disturbing concernthat people opposed to euthanasia arebecoming histrionic in their approachto the debate and refer to peoplesupporting euthanasia as killers andmurderers.This type of attitude does not make

for healthy debate.The department of health, who is

also opposed to the right to end one’slife when afflicted with a terminalillness, is guilty of double standards. Itfreely advocates abortion. The doctorscarrying out the procedure are notreferred to as killers and the proce-dure is not called “physician-assistedfoeticide” but, rightly so, terminationof pregnancy.People who are in favour of this

right come from a range of educationalbackgrounds and are quite clear thatthey do not wish to be subjected to thepain of dying from the complicationsof terminal illness. This should not beclassed as the same as an able-bodiedperson committing suicide due todepression; this is a different set ofcircumstances.Doctors willing to assist patients

with this request are not cold-bloodedkillers but are very compassionate and

accept that medical science has itslimitations.To end one’s life, when there is no

hope, has been deemed unethical andimmoral. Who makes such a decisionon what is ethical and what is moralin the face of enormous humansuffering?Ethics and morality mean very little

to someone who is severely afflictedby incurable pain. They are the onlyones who fully understand what it isto live in agony, waiting for death, notsome wise philosopher in his/her cosystudy, full of books that make him/herlook erudite and knowledgeable abouteverything.

DANCE

He brings love ofBollywood homeLOUISA STEYL

@LouNotes

Cape Town performance troupe Taare isbringing Bollywood to your doorstep.

Founded by Athlone’s Ahneesh Valodia,Taare aims to promote and preserve the In-dian arts in “an original and creative man-ner”.

By using Bollywood song and dance,Ahneesh says they make Indian arts moreaccessible or appealing to audiences as wellas the troupe’s dancers, helping them main-tain a link to Indian culture and traditions.

Ahneesh explains that the term “Bolly-wood” refers to both traditional and mo-dern Indian dance styles.

“It’s actually any style you can think of,”he says, adding: “It’s more the creative useof different dance styles.”

Ahneesh started dancing when he waseight years old and says he knew then alrea-dy that that’s what he wanted to do for therest of his life.

His plan was to pursue formal training af-ter matric, but his “health started actingup”.

Although he was diagnosed with muscu-lar dystrophy, a degenerative muscle disea-se, Ahneesh performed as much as possiblein his teens while he still could, until it gotto a point where he needed to swop the stagefor a wheelchair.

Dancing had become the centre of his lifethough and he couldn’t give up on hisdreams, so he decided to switch performingfor teaching and choreography.

Knowing that “there is a way aroundthings” is what helped Ahneesh cope. Bystarting the troupe, he gets to help otherdancers achieve their dreams.

Bollywood has always been Ahneesh’sfirst love. As a child he used to watch Bolly-wood movies and try the dances himself.While he’s a classically trained dancer, hisBollywood choreography is self-taught.

He started spreading the word aboutstarting a troupe in 2012 and contacted dan-cers that he knew were not actively perfor-ming at the time.

With word of mouth Taare grew and therest, as they say, is history.

In the beginning, Taare would ask dan-cers to book spaces at UCT residences forrehearsals. Today, however, they have a setvenue at Rustenberg Girls’ High Schoolwhere they rehearse every Saturday from10:00 to 12:00 with extra rehearsals when

they are preparing for a performance.Ahneesh says the troupe of 30 dancers is

made up of matriculants, students and pro-fessionals. “They come from all walks of li-fe.”

He says the audition process is open toanyone, with no previous dance experiencenecessary.

Taare performs a few times a month andthe group performs its own productionsalong with shows at charity, community orcorporate events.

Ahneesh says, to his knowledge, Taare isthe only Bollywood dance troupe in CapeTown. While there are Indian danceschools, Taare operates more like a dancecompany.

The group runs on a non-profit basis, rely-ing on sponsorships and donations. At themoment, they are specifically looking forsomeone to help with their social media ma-nagement.

Ahneesh explains that his troupe existsto provide a service to the community. Theyprovide a platform for dancers to maturetheir talents and bring Indian dance to a wi-de range of audiences.V Visit www.taare.co.za or www.facebook.com/TaareDance for more information about Taare and itsshows, to arrange an audition or to find out abouthelping the troupe in any way.
