The launch, which took place at the First Community Centre in Lansur Road last Tuesday, was received with adulation by those present. The Cease Fire programme is being run by the First Community Centre and is a com- munity-based initiative in Hanover Park that uses reformed gangsters to mediate con- flict and reduce gang shootings and gang-re- lated violence. The star of the Cease Fire music video, Glenn Hans, takes his viewers on a journey with lyrics about poverty and crime in the suburb. The track, which was the brainchild of First Community Centre chairperson Pas- tor Craven Engel, has already been played in taxis. “After three months of working on this project I just decided to go out one day to the taxi rank and asked a few taxi drivers if they would play the song in their vans and when they heard it they said they would definitely do so. That was one of the best moments of just getting this message out there. People have been supportive and for that we couldn’t be happier,” Hans says. Engel explains Cease Fire is a project that came about when they wanted to find a health-themed approach to reducing gang violence and shootings in the area. “The idea is to design interrupters to serve as an antibiotic and for outreach workers to act like a curative which includes social workers and nurses. These people have been designed to work only with high-risk indi- viduals,” Engel explains. He adds the programme was not initially aimed at the general community. “The programme is aimed at helping high- risk individuals and in that regard it will then have a knock-on effect and help the community. Shooting affects the whole com- munity,” Engel adds. He says the Cease Fire programme has been piloted and will be implemented this month. Hans says in the video he wanted to show- case talent from the area. “We have so much talent in our area and I wanted to give a platform to kids in our ar- ea as well. “One day while driving around in the area I saw two dancers in the road going through a routine and I just knew I had to get them on board. They were very eager to get started and this was very encouraging. Children in the area were also very eager to join in the recording of the video as they could relate to the song,” he says. Hans says although the lyrics send a strong message to gunmen involved in gangs, the message is aimed at the youth and community as a whole. “This is why I decided to get 12-year-old Hannah May on board to sing as well. This sends a message from our youth appealing to gangs to cease their fire,” he says. V See a sneak preview of the video on YouTube.

While travelling by train is still a trans-port priority formanyacross thePenin-

sula it is also a source of pleasure, offeringtrips to the seaside and other interesting pla-ces.Socialmediahavealso seen the rise inpeo-

ple using railway property, disused trainstations and tracks as backdrops for wed-ding and matric dance shoots, but is this le-gal?There are also many areas where commu-

nities live next to tracks and invade theseareas. Children break through fences andplay next to tracks, causing concerns abouttheir safety.Madelein Williams, spokesperson of the

Railway Safety Regulator, gives some in-sight into what you can and cannot do onrailway property.She explains that railway reserves are ap-

proved operational areas that are exclusive-ly demarcated for train operations.“There are serious consequences for peo-

ple who illegally enter these reserves, be-cause it is private property,” she says.“As such, any person can be criminally

charged for trespassing and the regulationsempower operators to institute eviction pro-ceedings against any unlawful occupiers ofthe railway reserve or a land adjacent to therailway reserve.“The same applies to people using it for

recreational purposes, like photo shoots orfilming.“It is the primary responsibility of the op-

erator to protect its assets, and ensure thatnecessary legal action is taken against anytrespassers.“This responsibility of the operator is

clearly reflected in the National RailwaySafetyRegulatorAct. Section 5of theAct pla-

ces the primary responsibility of ensuringsafe railway operations squarely on theshoulders of the operator.“In our attempt to address challengeswith

railway reserves, we have developed tworegulations, namely railway reserve man-agement and security compliance regula-tions.“Once these become effective, the rail re-

serve regulations will oblige railway opera-tors to erect fences, build walls and bridgesand put up signs to prevent any encroach-ment on the railway reserve.”In addition to these regulations on railway

reserves, Williams says, the Railway SafetyRegulatorhasdeveloped regulations for rail-way security.“Once the regulation on railway security

come into operation, all operators will be re-quired to develop, implement and maintaina security planwhichwill tackle all securitymatters and challenges pertaining to theirrailway operations.“The regulation will require operators to

deploy security personnel or electronic devi-ces to monitor the perimeter of the railwayreserve fence or wall in built-up areas.”She also stresses the importance of pas-

sengers understanding the most importantaspects in regard to safety.“Themost important safety aspect or chal-

lenge is the issue of people being struck bytrains,” she adds.“During last year a total of 643 peoplewere

struck by trains. This is followed by electro-cution and crime that takes place within thereserves, such as cable theft.“The negative implications of such crimi-

nal activities to our economy are incalcula-ble.”The Regulator was established to oversee

and promote safe railway operationsthrough appropriate support, monitoringand enforcement.

The Athlone committee of the Cancer Asso-ciation of South Africa’s (Cansa) will behosting its ninth annualRelay forLife at theVygieskraal Stadium on Friday 18 Marchfrom 18:00. It will conclude the next day at06:00.Relay teams, caregivers and cancer survi-

vors, who are honorary guests, will takepart in the relay. Teams take to the trackfor 12 hours to identify with the sufferingof cancer patients and learn that “cancernever sleeps”.Visitors are alsowelcome to attend the re-

lay from 17:00 tomidnight. The entrance feefor adults is R30 each and children underthe age of 12 pay R20 each.

Registration takes place at the team cap-tains’ meetings, which are held at SurreyEstate Primary School in Pluto Road, Sur-rey Estate every Saturday morning.Registration opens at 10:30, while the cap-

tains’ meeting starts at 11:00.The cost per team is R650 with a maxi-

mumnumberof 15 people per team.Adepos-it of R150 will secure a spot for a team.The relay is one of Cansa’smain fundrais-

ing events.“We are also encouraging teams to raise

additional funds of R1000 if possible,” saysMandy Adams, a volunteer and secretary ofCansa Relay for Life Athlone.The event is limited to 150 teams. There

are currently 95 teams registered for theevent, with 170 cancer survivers registeredin these teams.Children are welcome. Children over the

age of five years will have to be registeredas part of a team, while children youngerthan five do not pay the registration fee.The committee is trying to raise a total of

R300 000.“We have witnessed the growth of the re-

lay over time, so much so that for 2014 wereceived two awards for themost teams reg-istered and the most survivors at a relay.This success would not have been possiblewithout the assistance of our partners andsponsors,” Adams says.

Arsonists beware – a task team to investi-gate fires is hot on the heels of anyonestarting fires in public areas.The fire task team, a partnership be-

tween the City of Cape Town, police andSanparks, was constituted by the provin-cial police commissioner in January.According to a statement by the Table

Mountain Safety Forum, the team is cur-rently investigating four criminal cases.“The task teamwas created in thewake

of a series of fires betweenNovember andJanuary, some of which were alleged tohave been set deliberately. A decisionwas made to investigate the fires and

trackdown the culprits, if indeed the find-ings point to arson,” explains JP Smith,Mayco member for safety and security.The nine-member task team ismade up

of staff from the City’s special investigat-ing unit and Fire and Rescue Service,Sanparks and the police.The task team responds whenever

there is reasonable suspicion that a firemay have been set deliberately orthrough negligence, Smith explains.“All evidence found would be handed

over to the police. The immediate impacthas been the consolidationof informationand resources across three spheres ofgovernment, working towards the samegoal of investigating fires onCapeTown’smountain ranges.”

Motorists with outstanding traffic warrantsbeware: Sheriffs will soon join the City ofCape Town in tracking you down.TheCity’s Safety and SecurityDirectorate

has finalised an agreement with the Sheriffsof the Court to help execute warrants of ar-rest for outstanding traffic fines.Fourteen of the 17 sheriffs operating in the

city have signed up for the job.“It has taken some time to get everyone on

the same page, but now that we have, thisputs us in a position to drive up the trafficfine payment rate which is the only viablehope for improving road safety. More andmore traffic officers are meaningless if thefines they issue can just be ignored due toa frail criminal justice system,” says JPSmith,Maycomember for safety and securi-ty.“Cape Town has the lowest road death toll

of all the metros and the highest fine repay-ment rate. These two things are no coinci-dence. Ensuring that more people are heldaccountable ensures higher levels of compli-ance with road traffic legislation, which re-

duces the road death toll. The advent of thesheriffs executing warrants will furtherhelp to make our roads safer and reducedeaths and injuries.”In the City’s 2013/14 financial year more

than 2m fines totalling more than R140mwere issued. For 2014/15 this amount in-creased to more than R220m after fineamounts were raised in 2014.“The introduction of the sheriffs is an add-

ed bonus. It is early days yet, but I am confi-dent that this arrangement will be a fruitfulone. I would advise motorists to settle theiroutstanding fines if they don’twant the sher-iff to come knocking,” says Smith.“I would also like to remind critics who

believe that traffic enforcement is done inpursuit of revenue that none of the moneyfrom fines comes back to the directorate, butgoes into theoverallCitybudget.Nobonusesare paid as a result of extra traffic fine in-come and there are no financial incentivesfor our staff. Instead, everything we do is inpursuit of reducing the number of fatalitieson our roads.”

EARL HAUPT@EarlHaupt

Police took to the streets of Ma-nenberg on Friday to spread the

word about their efforts to quell thegang violence that has gripped thearea in recent months.

Attacks on police members havebecome more common followingflare-ups in a gang war after the fes-tive period.

“We are busy dishing out thepamphlets and it is about the gangviolence in the area, seeing thatnow at the moment it is very quietand we would like to thank the pub-lic for that. If it was not for them,the place would not have been qui-et at all.

“We will keep going on with thisoperation every week, because weare supposed to be doing it to reachthe public and build the partner-ship between us and the communi-ty at large,” says Colonel SaneleZama, acting commander of theManenberg police station.

Although the cause of the flare-up in gang violence is not conclu-sively known, those not wanting tobe named say that it is as a resultof in-fighting in one of the area’sbiggest gangs.

Police visited the area betweenRed River Road in the north andthe Downs in the south to create re-newed awareness and to thankcommunity members for helpingthe police root out criminals whoput their lives and livelihoods atrisk.

Zama says the peace currentlyexperienced in the area can be put

down to peace talks held in thecommunity as well as a marchwhich was staged by some of theresidents last week. However,Zama is aware that the bond be-tween the police and the communi-ty has to be strengthened.

“We must improve our partner-ships so that we can gain the trustof the community. As we areamongst them, we will keep on do-ing what we are doing, being hereand providing information to thecommunity.”

Sandra Petersen, a resident of

Rhone Walk, says police should al-so come to the party when dealingwith complaints not relating togang violence or drug-related ac-tivity.

“I called Manenberg police onSunday and five more times afterthat and until today they have notcome out to inspect the problem,”she said.

Petersen told police that she wasa patient of Valkenberg Hospitaland that due to her mental state,the police would have to intervenebefore she lost control and hurt

someone. However, the domesticissue between her husband and theother person who was involvedwas eventually resolved beforethings came to the worst.

“If the police are there to help aperson, then they also have to dotheir jobs by coming out to supportus. They said that there was a gangfight, but I did not hear any gun-shots and told them that there isn’tany gang fight. Even if it was agang fight, they would still have tocome out because that is their job.”

She says she wants to trust the

police, but does not know whatwould restore that trust.

“The point is that if they do theirwork, they must do it properly. Ifpeople phone in and ask for help,they must come and must not letthe person phone four or five timesbefore they want to decide to come.If they want us to respect them oreven [for us] to give them informa-tion about guns and drugs and allthat, they must also work with thecommunity.”

Angela Barnet, another resident,echoes Petersen’s views and saysshe also feels reluctant to engagewith the police based on her pastexperiences.

“It would not be a problem for usto tell them about things and youdon’t want your children to growup in such an environment, butwhen they treat you like that, thenhow can you still trust them?”

When asked if police were tooharsh in dealing with communitymembers, Zama says it should notbe the norm, but only in instanceswhen a life is at risk.

“I do not think that we are toohard on them, but we cannot let thecriminality take over the commu-nity. The police only act in such aharsh situation if they have to de-fend other people’s lives and alsotheir own lives; that is when theymust actually do that. It is not nor-mal for us to do that. If it is quietas it is now, then our approach willbe a softer approach.”V Anyone with information regarding crimi-nal activity can call Manenberg police sta-tion on 021 699 9400 or CrimeStop on0860 010 111.

Police extend a hand to community

Police members took to the streets last week to urge community members to help them fight gangsterism. Fromleft are Warrant Officer Wayne Koeberg, Captain Edward Bailey, Colonel Sanele Zama and Constable Hurem Louw.

An annual national school competition thatencourages recycling has introduced newrules for schools to win cash prizes.

Collect-a-Can, the can recovery and recy-cling organisation, announced that it haschanged the rules “to encourage schools tomake a longer lasting and positive impacton the environment”.

The annual competition rewards schoolsfor collecting used cans. The more cans col-lected by a school, the higher its chances ofwinning a share of R240 000 in prizes.

Over and above the prize money that aschool can win, it is also paid per kilogramof steel or aluminium cans.

“This year, instead of qualifying formonthly prizes, schools will work towardsa silver, gold or platinum status, based onthe amount of cans they collected,” says Zi-masa Velaphi, spokesperson of Collect-a-Can.

Each time a school moves to the next sta-tus, it will be given R1000. Only schools that

reach the top platinum status will qualifyfor the national prizes.

“From this year onwards, schools can en-ter the competition any time from the begin-ning of the year until the last day in Octo-ber, but the sooner they enter the better.The competition is also restricted to educa-tional institutions only, such as primary orhigh schools, crèches, boy scouts and girlguides,” adds Velaphi.

Schools can get their entry forms onwww.collectacan.co.za.

“We believe that with these new statusesimplemented, schools will be encouraged tocollect even more cans to achieve a plati-num status.

Ultimately, this will aid in having alonger lasting and positive impact on ourenvironment,” says Velaphi.V For more information about the competition, callCollect-a-Can’s head office on 011 466 2939, visitwww.collectacan.co.za or find them on Facebook andTwitter.

A successful local director and producerwill be releasing his new South African

romantic comedy drama, Sonskyn Beperk,this weekend.

Penlyn Estate’s Maynard Kraak has hada long, fruitful career in the local entertain-ment industry.

He has directed successful televisionshows like Generations, This Life, Binne-land, Scandal, Parys Parys and Loitering inJozi, produced the box office hitKnysna andproduced, conceptualised and directed theromantic comedy Vrou Soek Boer.

Maynard’s latest offering opens at cine-mas on Friday.

The film stars Anelle Bester and Neels vanJaarsveld. The story centres on the currentobsession the world has with craft beer. Thestory starts in New York, before lead charac-

ter Anya du Plessis travels back to South Af-rica where she must help her father save thefamily farm. Enter craft brewer Ruan whois looking for the perfect beer recipe. Thingsget complicated when he tries to steal Anya’sfather’s recipe.

As a producer, Maynard’s films haveearned millions at the local box office.

“The film is a celebration of South Africa’sdiversity, in front of and behind the cam-era,” he says.

With Sonskyn Beperk, Maynard aimed togive an opportunity for young creatives toshow off their talents in an environmentwhere they wouldn’t normally be able to bein a senior decision-making role or to dem-onstrate just how capable they are.

“From writer through production to edi-tor, that responsibility they were entrustedwith bore tremendous dividends in the end-product, of which I am especially proud,”Maynard adds.

The movie’s star, Anelle, is a good exam-ple of this policy. The production team spentfourteen months in casting, “leaving nostone unturned” in their search for fresh tal-ent: the result would mean giving Anelle abreak she may not otherwise have gotten.

“The love for what we do, the care for whatwe produce and the honesty with which wehave pursued the creation of this film, canbe felt from the first to last moments of thefilm.”

Later this year, Maynard will release hishighly anticipated English film FindersKeeperswhich, he says, is one of the most ex-citing projects he has ever worked on. Thisyear will also see Maynard shooting actionfilm Beast while he conceptualises the twofilms he plans on shooting next year.

Local man getshis just rewards

The public has been urged to reporttheir concerns relating to health to theCity of Cape Town’s health directoratewhen it comes to services and goodsbought from businesses and retailers,including spaza shops.

Siyabulela Mamkeli, Mayco mem-ber for health, visited a number of spa-za shops in Manenberg last week to en-sure compliance and to raise aware-ness about the regulations andlegislation that shop owners have toabide by. The City’s health departmenthas received reports of unhygienicconditions and concerns have beenraised about the sale of expired goodsin the past.

Check sell-by datesAccording to a statement released

by the City, in terms of National FoodRegulations, the expiry date on foodproduct labels is there to ensure thatthe product is still safe and has re-tained all its nutritional properties.Perishables and goods kept in fridgesor freezers should not be sold past thesell-by dates. With regard to shelfgoods, the item could still be safe touse, but the nutritional value may di-minish after the sell-by date.

All businesses, including spazashops, are bound by the Health Act andfood regulations as well as the Busi-ness Act (for the sale of prepared foodsand takeaways), zoning scheme, build-ing regulations, fire safety legislationand the Tobacco Control Act.

Environmental health practitionersare mandated to conduct visits to busi-nesses at least twice a year. But if prob-lems are identified or complaints arereceived then more regular inspec-tions are carried out until the problemis resolved.

Clean shops“Spaza shops are a crucial part of

our informal economy and a lifeline tomany of our poorer communities interms of access to goods and services.It is therefore important that we en-sure they are compliant and are awareof the pitfalls of selling goods that areexpired. We work to encourage themto keep hygiene and health-related fac-tors top of mind,” said Mamkeli.

Storekeepers are bound by law tokeep their premises in an acceptablecondition and take measures to pre-vent pests, such as rodents.

“Another big concern is the sale ofcigarettes in contravention of the law.We all know that it is illegal to sell ciga-rettes to minors. We also know it is ille-gal to sell loose cigarettes. But if a shopowner is servicing their client’s need,why would the client blow the whistleon them?”

Protect customers’ health“We encourage free trade and are

mindful of economic opportunities,but shop owners also have a duty toprotect the health of their customersby keeping their premises in an ac-ceptable condition and selling decentproducts. It is better to employ goodbusiness practices than risk losingcustomers or having your businessclosed down because you are violatingthe law,” added Mamkeli.V Members of the public who have health-re-lated concerns or complaints about businessescan contact their local environmental healthoffice for assistance via their local clinic or theCity’s technical operations centre on 0860 103089. The environmental health departmentwill also assist shop owners to familiarisethemselves with regulations.

A group of local students are applying theirminds to reducing waste at one of the coun-try’s largest newsprint companies.

Students at the Cape Town campus of theCape Peninsula University of Technology(CPUT) will be teaming up with Paarl Cold-set’s Cape Town plant to find creative waysto re-use waste generated at the plant.

Despite Paarl Coldset receiving an ISO

14001 certification in December for environ-mental responsibility, the plant still produ-ces around 1200kg of plastic and 50 tonnesof paper waste every month.

The company is looking at ways to pro-duce “zero waste”, in line with top compa-nies internationally, says Paarl Coldsetproject manager Hugo van Eyssen.

The challenge of finding a way to reuse pa-per and plastic waste was set for BTechProject Management students.

Students will work in groups to come up

with practical solutions, which will also givethem an insight into the industry, explainsAngela Buys, head of the Management andProject Management department.

“We are excited by the prospects and chal-lenges,” she says. “It will allow students toapply theory in the workplace.”

The team with the best proposal stands towin employment opportunities, as well as acash prize, Van Eyssen says.

“At the end of the day, hopefully the envi-ronment will be the winner,” he says.

GARY VAN DYK@gvdcapejazz

Another batch of youth in search of empow-erment are on the path to a positive futurewith the annual Access Trust bursary induc-tion held at the end of February.

Hosted at the Pinelands campus of the Col-lege of Cape Town the induction is wherestudents and their families commit to thebursary opportunity by signing the AccessTrust bursary agreement.

This bursary has been a game-changer forthe past 18 years and remains one of the fewindependent sources of funding for practicaltraining in engineering, tourism and hospi-tality, among others.

Ayesha Smith was one of the recipientswho matriculated from Livingstone HighSchool in Claremont in 2010.

As one of the guest speakers at the recentceremony she motivated the new recipientswith her own experience.

“I did not have the best results, so studyingwasn’t an option, especially with parentswho were not working,” she said.

“With no experience I struggled to find ajob, but eventually got a job as a debt collec-tor. But I was not happy. My dream wasteaching and I applied to study early child-hood development.

“I had to make a decision when I got a pro-motion but at the same time I was accepted

for the course at the College of Cape Town.“This was my dream coming true, but I

was scared and worried because naughty mehad not saved any money for studies.”

Ayesha further explained that she decidedto register with the thought of incurring ma-jor debt to keep her dream alive.

“Luckily I was advised to apply for the Ac-cess Trust bursary and was overjoyed whenit was successful.

“Apart from my tuition the bursary alsoprovided friendship in the form of one-on-

one meetings to listen to my achievementsand struggles.

“There was always encouragement andworkshops to help with my communicationand work-related skills.

“I am glad that the trust’s mission is to en-able capable young people from disadvan-taged communities to access skilled employ-ment through studying at technical, voca-tional and training colleges.

“They did not just pay for my studies –they constructed the foundation that I willbuild my life on.”

Part of the induction is where youth com-mit to being change agents in their commu-nities, local economies and the provincialeconomy.

They are from working families of all ra-ces, some of them dependent on Sassagrants, others headed by children, nowyoung adults.

The trust does not receive any state sup-port, but instead relies on longstanding do-nor relationships and individual sponsors.This year the trust will support 75 studentsat the College of Cape Town, Northlink Col-lege, False Bay College and Boland College,across all their campuses.

The trust gives the bursaries for tuition,travel, study materials and accommodationas required by students, more or less costingR1m.V For more information visit www.accesstrust.org.za.

Trust supports local students

Ayesha Smith, one of the recipients of anAccess Trust bursary, spoke recently abouthow the bursary gave her a foundation tobuild her life on.

While around 4 500 international cyclists de-scended on the city for the annual CapeTown Cycle Tour this past weekend, thetourism industry stands to gain a majorboost.

“This represents a sizeable number of visi-tors, all of whom require accommodation,meals and transport, and, besides the race,they’re bound to take the opportunity to en-joy all of the attractions the Mother City hasto offer,” says Cape Town Tourism CEO En-ver Duminy.

The Cycle Tour contributed R450m to thecity’s economy in 2014, the last time the fullrace took place, and it’s expected to generate

at least the same figure this year, Duminysays.

“The contribution of the cycle tour to-wards the local economy is extensive andspreads out across the entire peninsula.Events such as these create a buoyant eco-nomic environment and help to generatejobs in tourism and peripheral industriesand contribute to sustainability in business-es. The tour provides a fantastic opportunityfor international exposure, and it takesplace on some of the most scenic roads in thecountry,” Duminy says.

“Cape Town Stadium – where the CycleTour has its start and finishing points – is

right at the heart of tourism in the city. Thisis the world’s biggest timed cycle tour, andthe sight of all of the cyclists taking part isan attraction on its own,” he says.

A number of tour operators have em-braced cycling culture and now offer cyclingsightseeing tours, including in Langa andaround the city centre, Duminy says.

“The Cape Town Cycle Tour brings atten-tion to the city, and this focus gives us anopportunity to showcase that the weather inCape Town is suitable for cycling most daysof the year, it’s a fantastic pastime that al-lows locals to get to know their own city astourists on two wheels,” he says.

METROPOLITAN CUP

18 local teams in drawThe draw for this year’s Metropolitan Pre-mier Cup (MPC), otherwise known as theBayhill Cup tournament, took place at theSports Science Institute in Newlands lastWednesday.

The tournament is considered Africa’spremieryouth soccer competitionand isun-officially known as the “breeding ground ofSouth Africa’s future soccer stars”.

This year’s tournament takes place at Eri-caPark inBelhar overEasterweekend fromWednesday 23 to Monday 28 March. Theopening ceremony will be held on Friday 25March.

The tournament draw saw 18 Cape sides,including two multiple former winners inAjax Cape Town and Hellenic, joined by 14top-notch teams from around SA andabroad.

Reigning champions Glendene Unitedfrom Lansdowne will have their work cutout to defend their crown.The internationalguest teams this year areSwanseaCity fromWales and Zambia’s Zesco FC.

The tournament is played in front ofcrowds of more than 25 000 spectators,which always include talent scouts.

The likes of Benni McCarthy, MatthewBooth, Nasief Morris, Moneeb Josephs,Thulani Serero and Rivaldo Coetzee gainedcrucial experience and exposure in theMPC. Last year’s player of the tournament,Mihlali Mayambela, was signed after thetournament by Djurgården, a club in Swe-den.

LlewellynAllen, brand head ofMetropoli-tan, describes the tournament as “amassivecommunity event as well as a world-re-nowned youth soccer festival”.

PJ Williams, the tournament director,says demand for spots in the tournament,with R105 000 in prize money up for grabs,was extremely high and the local Cape clubs

who made it in draw deserved congratula-tions for getting through the tough qualifi-cation rounds.

Williams, who has been involved in thetournament since its inception in 1989, hasno doubt that this year’s line-up is one of thebest ever and that the finals will “deliver anexciting Easter weekend of action”.

Young soccer players will compete in the Metropolitan Premier Cup in Belhar over the Easterweekend in the annual competition well-known for talent scouting.

MIKE’S OCEAN TALES

‘Litter’lykilling usTake a stroll along most beaches in CapeTown and what do you see? Plastic bags,plastic bottles, broken glass and cigarettebutts sitting in the beautiful sand that welove to run our toes through.

It is very rare to surf or swim in thewaterof Muizenberg without either touching apiece of plastic or, at least, seeing a pieceof plastic floating in the water.

Interestingly enough, it is important tounderstand that most of the pollution wesee doesn’t necessarily come from the di-rect littering of the beach. Studies haveshown that about 80% of all pollution thatenters the ocean originates from land.

The litter that is thrown onto land is ei-ther blown into the ocean in the wind ormakes its way into the ocean via rivers orstorm water drains.

Even though the ocean is extremelylarge, the effect of pollution is becomingmore evident.

Fish and marine mammals are beingharmed by the litter in the ocean. They canbe strangled or suffocated by it.

What is even more alarming, is that theplastic items take decades to naturally bio-degrade. So even if the fish that consumethe plastic die, the plastic itself will live on.

This is when plastics can have an impacton human health. When humans consumethese fish, not only can theyget foodpoison-ing or immune system problems but in ex-treme cases these toxins can cause cancer.

So what can be done to solve this prob-lem?

. Educate the public, starting with theyouth, on the impact of plastic on the envi-ronment.

. Encourage the recycling of plasticitems in our own households.

. Get communities and schools involvedin beach clean-ups.

. Place more rubbish bins along thecoastline andhave thewaste collected regu-larly.

It is a common misconception that if youcannot see the problem, the problem is notaffecting you.

Let’s stop the littering.V This column was contributed by Michael Hart-Da-vis, a student of Marine Science. Email him [email protected].

Passion forpublic workComplaints in the new South Africahave became a plague, especially in thestate departments where all, whetherthey like it or not, are public servants.These or rather all public servants havethe sole mandate to serve Jan Alleman,no matter what status in society. I amalso one of these that will complain if Isee or am told that a public servant hasfailed Jan Alleman, but I am alsoconscious of the fact that praise is duewhere it is necessary.

I have noticed that Simon Daniels, asenior foreman at the Wynberg solidwaste depot off Rosmead Avenue, is anexample of service delivery.

He will take up a broom and sweepwhere dumpers have messed. I haveseen him help people offload their wasteand he is just all over the place, assist-ing where he can.

On Tuesday 1 March I was at thedump and at the gate was Daniels withthe security checking the cars. Soonafter that he was at the bins busyassisting the public and his staff. Icommented that he was always so busyfor a senior foreman and he respondedthat he was thankful to God for his joband he had a passion for his work. Icould not help but to respond that onecould see it.

As I drove away I thought to myself:if this man can only give a lectureonsite to other public servants on thepassion for one’s work and the meaningof service delivery, we will have nocomplaints, only compliments.

Councillor must beJack of all tradesWhen it comes to helping people withlittle education, councillors must be onthe forefront of solving their very chal-lenging problems.

Recently a widow wanted to take titleof her first husband’s rented municipalhouse after he died.

The trouble was that she had marriedagain and changed her surname to hernew husband’s surname. To complicatethings she wanted the house transferredonto her original, maiden surname.

A call to the housing department, inmy presence, revealed that her maidenand second surname were both invaliddue to her new changed surname. The60-year-old was in tears.

What was palpable was that she hadproblems with the new husband and wasworried that should she transfer thehouse on her latest married surname, hemay lay claim.

The difficulty was that she also did nottrust her adult offspring as co-signatories.Oddly, none of the information wasblatant and needed to be drawn out ofher with tactical questions as the ladyremained peculiarly guarded.

What was required was to ensure thatthe house was transferred onto her name

only and that she also draft a will leavingthe property to her offspring when shedied as she did not trust them then.

This is an example of how councillorsmust sometimes work like social work-ers, lawyers and matrimonial and conflictmediators.

At the same time, a councillor cannotget upset at how some people behavewhen they insist on telling councillorshow they want to do things. Someattitudes often defy logic, municipalprocedure and law.

What is manifest is that there aremany people in our multicultural democ-racy who are unable to help themselves.Due to a genuine lack of education ormoney, they need help, possibly theirentire life.

When voting in the upcoming election,consider if the prospective councillor isthe type of person who has the requiredqualities, as well as the education andskills, to do this job.

While voting for a large party mayseem like a logical option, at the end ofthe day when you need help, it is thecouncillor you must contact.

Throw those expensive blades awayWith profound disgust I am writingabout prices of Gillette razor blades.

The greater majority of men shaveevery day, some every second day,because they have to be presentable totheir wives or girlfriends, managers andemployers, especially in the workplace.

Retail stores sell Gillette blades asfollows.

1. A 4-pack costs R343.00 plus 14 %sales tax = R391. Divided by 4 = R97.75per blade.

2. An 8-pack costs R588 plus 14% salestax = R670. Divided by 8 = R83.75 perblade. It’s cheaper buying double.

Most men conservatively use twoblades for R195 per month. Some withhard beards use up to three or four

blades per month (R251 for three, R335for four).

It is nothing but robbing and plunde-ring the male customer. I would persua-de all the readers to grow beards. Thiswill put a “twist” in Gillette and retail’s“proverbial cable”.

A’s, Falcons insoftball finalJOSEPH PILLAY

An exciting showdown awaits softballfans at Turfhall Stadium on Saturdayand Sunday when the league and

knockout cup competitions of the CapeTown Softball Association will be conclud-ed.It should be a fitting tribute to bring down

the curtain on the season with two in-triguing campaigns in the super league thathas featured breathtaking performances bythe competitors at times this season.To begin with, the high-flying Glenthorn

A’s are all set and are earnestly looking for-ward to clinching their fifth consecutiveleague crown.The determined Glenthorn side of head

coach Steven Rodkin tops the league tablewith 55 points after 20 matches – three morethan second-place rivals Falcons with 52.However, should mentor Andre Alexan-

der’s Falcons side beat their rivals in the lastgame, they would take the crown away fromA’s, despite their potential points tally of 55points being equalled.Both teams enter the lion’s den full of con-

fidence sseeing they have ample ammuni-tion to pull off victory in Saturday’s finalleague decider and the knockout cup en-counter on Sunday.Glenthorn A’s played two matches over

the weekend. While they whitewashed Nor-mies 17-0, they were held to a 1-1 draw byWestridge Yankees.Falcons kept up their challenge to stay on

course and within striking distance of theirarchrivals with 12-0 shut-out victory againstTantasport.The match between Glenthorn A’s and

Westridge Yankees yielded just two spiltruns in the game, coming in the bottom ofthe third inning for Glenthorn A’s whichwas an unearned run by Carly Mulder fol-lowing a fielding error on third base by Nu-raan Williams.

Westridge Yankees finally managed tosafely cross the home plate with a well-exe-cuted, earned run in the top of the sixthframe through Roxanne Ohlsson off the batof Jacky Adonis.Lauren Mulder led the pitching duel for

Glenthorn A’s and faced 25 batters in herseven-inning spell. She claimed three scalps,allowed one base-on-ball and gave up threesingle hits to Ohlsson (1-2), Williams andAdonis (each 1-3).On the outside of the coin Westridge Yan-

kees pitcher Megan Cable also showed hermettle in her seven-inning contest on themound as the Glenthorn batters often foundher tough as teak as Cable got seven fannedvictims.Cable faced 29 batters, allowed four base-

on-balls and conceded only two hits whichbelonged to Astrid van Kresteren (2-3).

SEAN CAMPBELL

Maitland Giants have won promotion to lo-cal baseball’s major league despite losing toCrusaders at the last hurdle.After undergoing a name change two

years ago (from Kenfac Phillies BaseballClub), promotion to the major league was adefinite goal.Leon Fester, Giants chairperson, credited

the work ethic of the players and coachesand the vocal support from the community

for home and away fixtures.After losing out on promotion last season,

the brains trust of the club and its coachesacquired the services ofMatt Soren from theUnited States and non-active players CraigPrinsloo and Tariq George.It was Soren’s contribution to the pitching

department that provided thenecessary sup-port toKurtPretorius,CarloKoks andJaydeThorne that was the catalyst for most of theteam’s victories.Prinsloo andGeorge took some time to set-

tle down, but came to the party to ehlp withboth the fielding and hitting departments.Prinsloo contributed in the outfieldwithGe-orge commanding a regular spot at thirdbase.With a game to go, away to Helderberg Pi-

rates, Giants were only breached twice thisseason, losing to Van der Stel and Lans-downe Eagles earlier in the season.“By winning promotion we also brought

baseball back into the spotlight in our com-munity. Our senior players have become

role models for many youth players,” saysFester.Game preparation and strategy have been

key in the Giants’ quest for promotion thisseason and the tireless effort of the coachingteam of Honey Moses, Lloyd Koks and DonGillies has not gone unnoticed.Next season in the major league will be a

totally different ball game with teams hav-ing more quality pitching and hitting.Teams are also more likely to expose medio-cre baseball.

Maitland Giants take major leap for next baseball season
