GRASSY PARK: STRANGER SELLING DRUG ‘SWEETS’ OUTSIDE SCHOOLS

Bitter warning for pupilsTAURIQ HASSEN

Angry parents are sending out a sternwarning to pupils about buying pinksweets from a stranger.

Some parents in greater Retreat andGrassyParkareashad to rush their childrento hospital after the little ones consumed apink sherbet-like sweet sold by an unknownman outside the school gates.In a mad panic, Alvinia Williams rushed

her daughter to Victoria Hospital on Friday31 May after the child became seriously illhours after buying and consuming thesweets outside Lourier Primary School, Re-treat.“Teachers at the school first rushed her to

the day hospital. (Once she was at home) Inoticed she was actually getting worse. She

couldn’t walk, she looked really bleak in herface and her tongue started swelling,” thedistressed mother says.When the doctor’s report arrived, Wil-

liams was stunned to learn that traces of ec-stasy was found in her daughter’s system.“Whoever is doing this is really sick. They

are targeting small children who are crazyabout sweets. That is the sick part of thiswhole thing,” she says.Her daughter is recovering, but Williams

still worries about the safety of other pupils.Grassy Park mother Naseeghah, who

chose not to name her son’s school, alsowished to warn the rest of the community.Two weeks ago, her eight-year-old son

bought sweets from a man standing a fewmetres from themain entrance of the school.Her son had consumed about four sweets

from the packet, before collapsing outsidehis Grassy Park home.“I watched him from the window. He ar-

rived with his friends like normal and all ofa sudden, he collapsed. His friends rushedover to help and when I got there, he wasturning blue,” she sobbed.At the hospital, Naseeghah was informed

that traces of the drug was found in her son.“That person should burn in hell and par-

ents must be warned about this,” says theseething mother.“I couldn’t believe it and I questioned his

friends about it. They said he bought somesweets fromaman at school. They explainedit was a pink sweet in a see-through packetand that was the only thing he had afterschool.”Naseeghah had not opened a case with po-

lice due to the lack of evidence, but ratherdecided to approach the newspaper to sendout a warning.Kevin Southgate, chairperson for the

Steenberg Community Police Forum, findsit shocking that children are being targeted.“I believe that people do these sort of

things to get the children hooked onto thedrugs,” he says.However, he explains that incidents such

as these should raise questions around thepeople selling goods outside schools.“Unfortunately, everbody has to be paint-

ed with the same brush here, because we doknow there are people who are genuinelytrying to make a living,” Southgate says.People’s Post forwarded a list of questions

through to Steenberg police, but they failedto respond at the time of going to print.

SA ECONOMY: CITY’S PLAN TO STIMULATE GROWTH

Small businesses to prosper?NADINE MOODIE

SMALL businesses are the backbone ofthe South African economy. Many ofthese businesses operate from people’s

homes in suburbs across the city.The City of Cape Town is on a mission to

regulate businesses such as tuck shopswhich run from people’s homes, by creatinga new zoning scheme called the Cape TownZoning Scheme. This will allow and estab-lish home industries, which will rezoneproperties onwhich these businesses are sit-uated.In March this year the Home Industries

bylaw of 1985 was repealed by the City ofCape Town along with 266 other bylaws andpolicies that were created before 1994. TheCity’s Mayoral Committee member for Eco-nomic, Environmental and Spatial Plan-ning, Garreth Bloor says these bylaws andpolicies did not aid the City’s strategy of re-dress and economic development.“Wewant to openup the economy formore

people to develop themselves, in the past thebylaws and policies prevented people frombecoming economically active,” he says.“The Cape Town Zoning Scheme is al-

ready in effect and applies to the entire CapeMetropolitan. There is no specific criteriafor people to qualify for this zoning scheme.“There is no law against opening a tuck-

shop in any area, people are free to open upshop as they see fitwhen their properties arezoned to do so.“Individuals in this position need to apply

to the City to have their properties rezoned.“There is no blanket cost for process, be-

cause various aspects such as erf size andwhether an impact assessment is requiredfor the property, will need to be calculatedto determine the cost.“The applicant will then hand in their ap-

plication for rezoning to their district office,

who will immediately give them a quote onthe cost.”Tuck shop owner, Ameer Ismail says he

is aware of the Cape Town Zoning Schemeand has no grievances with the process.“I think it’s a good thing and a way for the

City to regulate informal trade,” he says.“People should not object to this if they’re

using their tuck shops for the right reasons,then this zoning scheme won’t harm them.”Meanwhile salon owner, Maxwell Johan-

nes is not pleased with the City’s approachto home industries.“This process is not good, because it in-

volves a lot of things such as paying tariffsfor rezoning and asking neighbours for per-mission.“I don’t own this property and my neigh-

bours are rude anddon’t likeme, so theywillobject tomy request to have a salon here. It’sbest that people be allowed to do their ownthing, and not have to comply with these

new regulations.”Chief training officer at DTB Trading,

Gregg Fick says he spends his time assistingtuck shop owners with registering theirbusinesses, but has concerns and reserva-tions with the new zoning scheme.“The City needs to remember there are

poor people who rent properties from themand others who are not South African citi-zens, but who own tuck shops or lease a sec-tion of the land from which they operatetheir businesses from as their source of in-come,” he says.“Thousands of people have tuck shops on

properties they don’t own. Will they be ableto rezone the properties they don’t own?”Bloor says an impact assessment will be

done for tuck shopownerswhodon’t own theproperties fromwhich they’re operating on.“Only property owners may apply for re-

zoning or change of land use. If the applicantis not the owner, they need to obtain a powerof attorney from the owner, before the appli-cation will be accepted. If this is granted theCity will speak to the neighbours to get per-mission for tuck-shop owners to continuetheir businesses,” he says.Fick believes tuck shop owners want to

comply with the City’s bylaws, but he saysthe application forms are too difficult forpeople to understand and complete.“I don’t understand why the City does not

send staff to educate people about the newzoning scheme.“The South African Revenue Service

(SARS) and the Department of Trade and In-dustry usually send fieldworkers to commu-nities to explain things in basic terms to peo-ple, why can’t the City do the same?” asksFick.“Unemployment in our communities is

very high and tuck shops are often people’sonly source of income. If these business areshut down, people will be out in the street.”

SMALL BUSINESSES: Tuck shop are one of the many small businesses in the city which willhave to rezone their properties to comply with the City of Cape Town’s new zoning scheme.

Bloody acts of kindness can save livesTARREN-LEE HABELGAARN

IT takes less than 30 minutes to save morethan three lives.Whether you are stepping into a mobile

or fixed facility of the Western ProvinceBlood Transfusion Services, you are greet-ed by friendly faces.You are then assisted in completing a

health questionnaire before testing youriron levels to make sure they are highenough for you to donate.Onceyouhave successfully completed the

questionnaire and iron testing, you areready to take a seat and relax.It only takes one small prick to start your

donation process and less than half an hourlater you have saved three lives.TheWestern Province Blood Transfusion

Service is a non-profit, independent organi-sation operating in the province, supplyingsafe blood and blood products to all commu-nities in the region, from Cape Town toGeorge.Marlize Mouton, a spokesperson for the

service, says less than 1.5% of the WesternCape’s population donates blood. Yet re-search has indicated that 75% of the prov-ince might need a blood transfusion duringtheir lifetime. “We desperately need to in-crease this percentage this year by recruit-ing 5 000 new active donors on top of regulardonors who enlist annually,” Mouton says.Althoughmany people register to donate,

very few people are regular donors.Blood expires and thereforeweneedmore

people to become regular donors,” she says.June is National Blood Donor Month and

countries worldwide will celebrate WorldBlood Donor Day this Friday.“Various events will be taking place all

around the world on the day to raise aware-ness on the desperate need for safe bloodand blood products,” Mouton says.“It is also a time to thank those voluntary

blood donors for their gift of life to thou-sands of unknown recipients.”She says they have 96 emergency blood

banks and need about 700 units of blood perday to meet the demand for blood at hospi-tals in the Western Cape.

“Even in this technologically advancedera, blood cannot be manufactured. Thereare no artificial replacements for this life-sustaining substancewe all need,” she says.RezaPrice (15)was diagnosed in 2009with

Severe Aplastic Anaemia, a very rare life-threatening blood disorder.The condition occurs when the bonemar-

row fails to produce red blood cells, whiteblood cells and platelets.A decrease in the production of these

blood cells puts the patient at a higher riskof bleeding, fatigue and infections.Price’s mother, Zeenat, says he receives

blood transfusions every week and some-times twice aweek. She explainshis plateletcount has never been over five in the lasttwo years, while the normal platelet countshould be between 140 and 420.“This is where this service has basically

become our saviours, literally acting as myson’s life-blood,” Price says.Mouton explains that the collection of

safe blood remains an ongoing challengeand the ever increasing demand remainshigher than the supply. “Noone can excludethemselves fromeverneeding a blood trans-fusion, be it for emergency treatment, trau-ma, severe shock, burn wounds and many

other medical conditions.”These conditions include leukaemia,

anaemia, and haemophilia, she adds.Alex Adams, a financial administrative

officer who works close to the Long Streetblood donor clinic, donates blood every twomonths in his lunch time.“I first started donating because my col-

leagueswere doing it but also because bloodis so scarce,” he says.“There is never enough blood, there is

never enough donors and it is for a goodcause, especially with accident rates beingso high,” Adams explains.He says he has donated nine times previ-

ously andhasnever experienced side effectsafter a donation.Mouton points out that donors and recipi-

ents are their first and foremost priority.“The service ensures both donor and recipi-ent safety,” she says.Every year the service collects more than

140 000 units of safe blood, used to impactthe lives of more than 420 000 people.Mouton says red blood cells can be stored

for 42 days before they expire and thereforeit is important that donors donate regular-ly. “If you have registered to be a donor youcan donate every 56 days,” she adds.

HEATHFIELD: PARENTS PART OF SOLUTION

School safety planTAURIQ HASSEN

AN APPEAL has been made for theHeathfield community to establish aSchool Watch.

It would be the first such structure, whichwill act as an entity to combat some of thesocial ills plaguing the school.Heathfield High School has been faced

with a number of challenges over the years,including gangsterism, truancy, substanceabuse and bunking.Wesley Neumann, teacher and member of

the School Governing Body (SGB), says theSGB is currently the driving force behind theinitiative and aims to get as many roleplay-ers involved. “We want the School Watch toserve a dual purpose for the community, pa-trolling the school surroundingsand the resi-dential area,” he says.“We wish to address these challenges with

the formation of the School Watch.”The watch is aimed at improving security

not only on the school grounds, but also ser-ving the surrounding community. During in-tervals, the watch will also be used to moni-tor activity on the playground.According to Naumann, the focus of a

School Watch is to enhance the communitysafety through “a problem-solving approachto crime and disorder affecting schools”.He adds that the SGB hopes to have the

School Watch operating by the first week ofthenewschool term,which starts onMonday15 July.Options for the SchoolWatch includepatrols, walks or even cycling.Improving the communication network

within the community, logging suspiciousactivities and collecting information oncriminal activity are ideas the watch hopes

to incorporate at the start of the new schoolterm.School Watch hopes to reach out to par-

ents, local leaders, police, surroundingschools, churches, the neighbourhoodwatch, community policing forum, local im-provement district, businesses and privatesecurity companies to create a network inthe community. “We need to make a differ-ence about our current situation. There is asolution to every problem and we must havethe will to find it,” Naumann says.Heathfield High School principal Mark

Engelbrecht welcomed the idea.His main concerns are that pupils travel-

ling to and from school have been accostedand robbed. “This initiative is more to dowith the safety of pupils, because a school issupposed to always represent a safe havenfor children,” he says.Engelbrecht is in favour of having parents

on the School Watch as they could patrol theschool grounds during intervals and assistthe school.“We are very fortunate in a sense to have

really big premises, but that, too, is a nega-tive. It means there is much more groundthat needs to be covered and the school justdoesn’t have enough staff to cater for this,”he says. “If the parents were patrolling thegrounds during intervals, we would feel a lotbetter knowing parents are looking aftertheir own children.”Mark Russouw, secretary of the Langevlei

Ratepayers’ and Civic Association, says theSGB approached the association for assist-ance. “It’s a very good initiative. I wouldstrongly encourage people to assist,” he says.V If anybody wishes to find out more and assist, contactNaumann on 084 725 6672.

Pedestrians risk lives for shortcutTAURIQ HASSEN

TAKING a shortcut across a busy rail-way line could be the last route you trav-el.This is a possibility in Flora Road, Re-

treat, where a damaged fence gives pe-destrians access to walk across the rail-way lines.The Retreat/Steenberg Civic Associa-

tion has been battling to get the fencesrepaired, but to no avail.Association secretary Mary Jansen

says the area running from the RetreatStation towards Muizenberg has beenseverely vandalised to create shortcutsacross the railway lines.“We have lodged complaints with the

people responsible for maintaining thisarea, butwehave received no responses.This is quite dangerous and I don’t thinkthe people realise this,” she says.“We are worried about the children as

well, because they pick up on what theadults are doing and then do the samething. This is a major safety hazard.”Retreat resident Esther Jameson reg-

ularly sees people walking across theline daily and says it has become a pre-ferred route for many.“I have seenplenty of accidents on this

line and it is no secret that it is quite dan-gerous. People have been warned, butthey will continue to walk over the line,because the lack of proper fencing al-lows them to do so,” she says.Jameson also dreads the thought of

school children being knocked down bythe trains. She says she has seen chil-dren not only crossing the lines, but alsoplaying on them.“This is a very serious matter and I

don’t understand why there is no urgen-cy shown by the people responsible formaintaining this area,” she says.Franklyn Adams, also a resident,

says: “If another person gets killed or in-jured by the trains, wemust holdMetro-rail responsible.”

Although complaints are falling ondeaf ears, Adams says Metrorail shouldhave had the “decency” of giving a “sim-ple response”.“These are people’s lives we are talk-

ing about and they are acting as if thisis not something major. If they feel it isthe community’s fault, they should tellus – not leave it until somebody getsknocked down,” he says.Metrorail regional manager

Mthuthuzeli Swartz says the infrastruc-ture department would be requested toassess the situation and the unit will “dotheir utmost to replace fencing, budgetpermitting”.Swartz adds: “Repairs and replace-

ment are planned and prioritised annu-ally in terms of urgency/necessity andimplemented according to availablefunding.”He explains that the root cause of in-

formal access needs to be investigatedand believes there is a lack of street-to-street access.“In such cases, continuous repairs or

replacement of fences is a one-dimen-sional response to a complex issue. Thesolution calls for a multi-functional ap-proach,” he says.The national Deputy Minister for

Transport, Sindisiwe Lydia Chikunga,launched a national railway safety cam-paign.Chikunga says: “We are urging people

to stay alert around train tracks, to onlyever cross at legal pedestrian crossingsand to always remove their headphonesand not use cellphones when crossingtracks.”Installing palisade fencing could cost

R1000 a metre.Chikunga says repairing each open-

ing could range from R1000 to R10 000.The cost depends on the extent of the

damage and the type of fencing that willbe used, she says.V Incidents which may negatively affect railwaysafety can be reported on 082 907 1407.

City’s cellphone bylaw blitzRICHARD ROBERTS

A TOTAL of 1 081 cellphones have been con-fiscated from Capetonian motorists.This was done in terms of the ordinance

of the City of Cape Town, which allows forthe confiscation of cellphones if motoristsare caught using it while driving.The ordinance was implemented in July

last year. Motorists using their cellphoneswhile driving are fined R500 and their cell-phones are held at Gallow Hills Traffic De-partment in Green Point for 24 hours. Trans-gressors can collect the cellphone a day afterthe offence and pay the fine later. The trafficfine issued to the perpetrator is a written no-tice containing both a pay and court date.City traffic spokesperson Richard Cole-

man said 96 of the 1 081 cellphones – nearly10% – have not been reclaimed.The cellphones are held for three months,

whereafter the details of the owner are hand-ed to the police. “We, however, continuouslycontact the owners to remind them to collectit,” he said.Colemanadded the offenders donot pay for

the lock-up or storage of the phones.“However, they may only collect it after 24

hours and during working hours. Thismeans if your phone was seized on Friday,you may only collect it the following Mon-day,” he said.Coleman could not confirm the amount of

money collected fromcellphone fines. “Manyof the written notices have not expired.”When askedwhethermen or women large-

ly transgress, he said: “At this stage it is actu-ally equal.”Most offenders are aged between 30 and 50.When asked in which areas the offenders

are caught, Coleman said: “In the CBD. Itmostly happens in the afternoon when mo-torists leave work and need to tie up someloose ends, or have to arrange something athome before they arrive.”Askedabout the success of thenewmunici-

pal ordinance, he said: “It is relatively suc-cessful. We notice a decrease in the use ofcellphones while driving.”Coleman said they are considering adding

a seizure tariff to the existing fine in the com-ing months.

Striking right cordsTAURIQ HASSEN

WHILE the sound of gunshots may bethe stereotype residents in greaterRetreat may have become attuned to,

one Coniston Park man continues to strumhis own melody.

Dextry Rasmus hopes to pass on some ofskills to the community through his musicschool.

Named for himself, the music school is be-ing run from his garage. He officially openedup the Dextry Rasmus Music School after re-ceiving an overwhelming response from thepublic.

“My music that I pass down is purely basedon Christian music and, despite the gang vio-lence plaguing our communities, I continueand I strive to achieve the best,” he says.

Rasmus is a member of Grassy Park’s StJosephs Christmas Band and has beenstrumming his guitar since the age of 16.

His dream of one day playing in the bandbecame a reality when the late John Septem-

ber (80), a senior guitarist, introduced himto the art of playing a guitar.

“I’m still feeling the recent loss of a verytalented guitarist who taught me everythingI know about playing the guitar,” he says.

Rasmus started providing guitar lessonsnearly eight years ago, but was encouragedby his wife to open his own music school athis Muritz Way home.

The school attracts many aspiring guitarplayers from Retreat, Grassy Park and evenas far as Heathfield.

Children from six years and upwards areall welcome to attend.

“I’m hoping that with the skill of playinga guitar people can move forward andachieve something positive through all ofthis negativity surrounding the area,” Ras-mus says.

Classes are held every Monday and Thurs-day between 19:30 and 20:30, as well as on Sat-urdays from 15:00 to 17:00.V Anybody interested in becoming the next Carlos San-tana, can contact Rasmus on 079 162 8626.

Seven decades of loveTAURIQ HASSEN

WHEN everlasting love, ongoing trustand commitment is added to one pot, itcan be turned into a recipe for a success-ful marriage.

Leslie (93) and Dorothy (94) Voegt fromRetreat will celebrate their 72nd wed-ding anniversary on Friday.

The couple first clapped eyes on eachother when Leslie, who was known as a“corner boy” back in the old District Sixera, whistled to Dorothy after she re-turned from a hard day’s work at the fac-tory.

“That is when it all started,” Dorothysays. “It was on the corner of Bruce andHanover streets, but Leslie used to whis-tle at me every day as I passed that cor-ner.”

Theirs is a case of love at first sight,because when the two eventually startedspeaking, who would have thought thatthey would be spending the next 72 yearstogether?

They were regular visitors to the cine-ma and occasionally fished out the bestdance spots in Cape Town, as Dorothyloved to dance.

“I can remember one year they linkedup the City Hall with the Drill Hall, andwe danced all night from one side to theother,” Dorothy laughs.

“We danced so much, we passed outwhen we came home.”

Now living in their Retreat home after45 years, they still show signs of bliss,joking with each other and using nick-

names when referring to each other.They are well-known in the communi-

ty as Dorothy also ran a crèche fromtheir Retreat home.

“We would walk in shopping mallsand then somebody will just come up tous and give a huge hug. We will not knowthe person when we first see them, butonly once they’ve explained who theyare, does it ring a bell,” Leslie says.

When Dorothy was watching the chil-dren, Leslie would take to his daily ritu-al of swimming at Muizenberg Beach.

“I loved it and I made this a habit ofmine. I also loved walking from thehouse to as far as False Bay sometimes,but then it started to become dangerousand I was forced to stop,” Leslie says.

The couple remains adamant thatthere is no secret to their long-standingrelationship.

“It is a matter of whatever goes wrongin your life, you have to swallow it andmove on.

“You have to go from day to day, be-cause sometimes it will be down andsometimes it will be up, but you have tobe able to work through any situation,”both tried to explain from the comfort oftheir living room.

The couple does not have anythingfancy planned for their special day, butsurrounding residents have alreadypromised to visit for a cup of tea and sliceof cake.People’s Postwould like to wish Leslie

and Dorothy Voegt a happy 72nd wed-ding anniversary.

RETREAT: RRRA OPERATING LEGALLY

Allegationsunfounded,says BurgerTAURIQ HASSEN

THE Retreat Ratepayers’ and Resi-dents’ Association is still in full op-eration and wants to quash allega-

tions it is operating illegally.Among the allegations are that the

RRRA is not registered on the City ofCape Town’s database and that the cur-rent chairperson, Edward Eybers, iswrongfully representing an “unregis-tered” organisation.

Ward councillor Jan Burger wasquick to quell these allegations.

Burger immediately went about set-ting the record straight.

“The association has been running fora long time now. We are aware of Eybers,who runs a very good organisations andneighbourhood watch as well,” Burgersays.

“He is such a good man; I cannot seewhy people would want to badmouthhim, because he has done lots of goodwork in this community.”

For Eybers, however, the allegationscome as no surprise.

He says: “People have to come forwardand prove that we are not registered.

“I went and did the paperwork myselfand we are still operating legally, as weare registered on the City’s database.”

The RRRA has been operating in thecommunity for nearly 10 years and coverthe areas between 1st and 11th avenues,which are bordered by Boundary andConsort roads.

They currently represent 12 residen-tial premises within the Retreat commu-nity.

Eybers believes that the accusationswere being made against RRRA in order

to tarnish the name of the association.“Part of me cannot believe that these

accusations are being made against meand I believe this is a matter of sourgrapes,” he says.

“We don’t have time for petty thingsand we will continue as normal.”

New associations wanting to register,according to their constitutions, aremeant to call a public meeting with thecommunity.

In this meeting, the agenda, attend-ance and office bearers must be capturedin the form of a letter, which is then sentto the City for approval. The letter hasto request that the City registers the as-sociation on the database.

Eybers says he has followed the cor-rect procedures, adding that he has thedocumentation to prove so.

He calls upon anybody to bring infor-mation which suggests otherwise.

A document on the City of CapeTown’s website (http://www.cape-town.gov.za/en/subcouncils/Docu-ments/Community_Org_List2.pdf)proves that the RRRA is registered onthe City’s database.

Donald Jethro, a member of the neigh-bouring Retreat/Steenberg Civic Asso-ciation, was not aware of the allegationsbeing made against Eybers or the RRRA.

Jethro explains that the civic associa-tion was always aware of Eybers andRRRA operating within the community.

“We understand that they do goodwork in concurrence with the localneighbourhood watch,” says Jethro.

“According to the civic association,that body (the RRRA) is registered withthe City and we have not heard other-wise,” he says.

SOUTH AFRICANS are a bunch of whiners. And weshould stop.That’s the word fromANC deputy president Cyril Ram-

aphosa.Ramaphosa is quoted as saying at a BlackManagement

Forum that South Africans “must move away from beingthe biggest whiners”.He reportedly said South Africans have a right to criti-

cise, but should also offer solutions.“Do not become an armchair critic; get into the scrum

and show us what you can do.”The reality is it should not come as any surprise when

all people complain of the one aspect that affects everycitizen: hitting the pocket. South Africans will be hardput – inmoreways thanone –when their income is erodedby the proposed toll roads in Cape Town. Other factorswhichwill siphondisposable incomeare the expected fuelprice increase and the R800 president Jacob Zuma is re-portedly paying for the monthly lease of 8.9ha land onwhich his Nkandla compound is built.And Deputy Public Works minister Jeremy Cronin re-

portedly said of the R206m upgrade to Zuma’s privatehome: “It’s clearly outrageous, it’s clearly hard to justi-fy.”The nation has a right to complain, and even to give

solutions. It is also our right to a job, to earn a living in-come, to live in a house, have an education and other civilliberties. These rights are in the Constitution – a hard-fought for document for which many have paid the ulti-mate price. Many of the survivors of apartheid are stillwaiting to see the fruits of their klipgooiery, refusing togo to school and other civil protests.Most of the anti-apartheid activists have grown up and

grown old. It would behove the ANC elite to think of thesematters while few fellow countrymen can live the dreamof prosperity.Solutions? Definitely, but don’t ignore the fact that

many election promises are just that: promises.

Raising children a shared responsibilityTHIS year Father’s Day is Sunday 16 June;very appropriate as it is a public holiday thenext day. Fathers will be celebrating theirday differently, but mostly with their chil-dren – it is the honouring of our fathers.I will be celebrating Father’s Daywithmy

Mom and siblings. We lost our dad a yearago to cancer, so our first stop will be thegraveyard. He is missed a lot. My heart goesout to children who will not have the oppor-tunity to have their Dad there to wish, someofwhom leftwithout considering the impacttheir action will have on their kids.It doesn’t necessarily happen when the

child is small, but as they grow older, chil-dren are not meant to grow up without bothparents present. I would not knowwhat thatis like.I do know the impact amissing parent has

on a child’s life and,more specifically, whenthat parent was there in the earlier years ofthe child’s development and suddenly losesinterest.Someone said it is better that the parent

is not around from day one, but children arecurious beings and they will want to knowwhat happened.I went to a seminar on parenting and I al-

waysmaintain that raising children doesn’tcome with a handbook; you learn as you goalong. The seminar was interesting, but Ifound it annoying that the speaker had nopersonal experience or, let’s say, her chil-dren were not faced with the adversity ourchildren are faced with today. She couldn’trelate to the situation.I firmly believe you have to be in a situa-

tion to be able to give advice. Support is fine,

but you will not have any understanding ofwhat parents go through. I am not judging,I am merely pointing out a fact, it was men-tioned that children of today are born angry,which I agree with to an extent. There wasalso mention of our role as parents and howour children are our responsibility, whichI agreewith, but it is a shared responsibilityand I am not talking in anyone’s favour. Ifeel children should be raised by a village.I would like to wish every father a very

happy and blessed Father’s Day.To those fathers who left women rearing

their children alone, I want to bless them,too. To those women I want to say I admireyou and I know what it is like, but God hasa plan for all of us and happy Father’s Dayto us.Tanya Miseroole, Email

. Tears streamed down my face as I readthe article “Twilight time turns to worryyears”. Never truer words were spoken!Howweworked for this country,without theluxuries of a cushy job. What have theseyoung children having babies and gettinggrants contributed to this country? At theirage we were in school or working, not hav-ing babies. The grants they receive shouldbe allocated to senior citizens who deserveit. And, yes, we need acknowledgement fromour children. Instead they treat us like mo-rons, forgetting most of us are educated justlike they are. We are their parents. We dounderstand theyhave their own responsibil-ities, but how is showing interest, a kindword and showing love asking for toomuch?Life is not easy for most of us seniors. Allwe need is love, respect, consideration andempathy.

. Thank you for publishing this article. Ihope the parents who bought their kidshookah pipes don’t have too much of a head-ache. My instincts have always been correctabout the hookah. I hope it is an eye openerbecause our kids are already exposed to toomany bad substances.

. You are 100%correct.MyDadwas so ad-

dicted to hookah vapours and it caused himto fall ill with terminal cancer. I’m beggingmy kids to stay away from hookah vapours.

. At least us hookah smokers don’t goaround begging for money. Hookah isn’t asaddictive as cigarettes. The hookah smokersmake it seem addictive by smoking a lot.

. The police should seize all hookah pipesand test its contents. They would be sur-prised at themixtures it contains. Criminalsencourage children to smoke and that’s howthey get hooked. Drug dealers use the sametactic daily,while theyhide inhookah smok-ing groups as a ploy to sell the drugs.

. I agree with the disabled people. GoldenArrow can make a plan for them.

.MyCiTi is the answer for wheelchairpassengers. The Golden Arrow logo says“the bus for us”. I don’t think so, as they arediscriminating against wheelchair passen-gers on the Cape Flats. CBM Le Sar

. I fully agreewithwheelchair-boundpas-sengers. I’m also disabled and if I go hospitala private car (ride costs) R150. The bus ismuch cheaper, but I cannot use it, becauseit is not wheelchair-friendly. It’s time thatwe also get service. Val

. I’ve been to the UK four times – mydaughter lives there. Each birthday shesends me a ticket and I witnessed the Olym-pics. What I admire is the transport on thebuses and trains. There are ramps for thewheelchairs and prams. Come on, SA, it is

time to do something for our people. Mrs S. I am about to write a letter of objection

to the finance minister. My pensions placeme above the threshold and I now have topay Sars more than R3000! I don’t know howIwill do this. I am the sole breadwinner, pay-ing R2560 on my home loan.

. The problem is not only motorists.There are cyclists who show disregard totraffic laws. Traffic officials, please take ac-tion! David

.Why is there a phone-in service forBiki-ni Babes on TV? Do you know how boringthat is to watch if you’re female? You areforcing people to buyDStv. Young people areusually out on Fridays and Saturdays. VSolomons, Diep River

. Prostitution is a fact. It has beenthroughout human history and is never go-ing to disappear. Legalising itwouldhelp en-sure the safety and health of all involved. Re-ligion has no part in this discussion. Theproposed lawwouldmake prostitution legal,subject to rules and conditions.

. I support the West Indies in cricket, theAll Blacks in rugby and England or Germa-ny in football. What’s the big deal? Don’t tellme it’s amatter of “patriotism”. Being patri-otic is a personal choice. Does anybody dic-tate to you which team you should supportor which party you should vote for? Weshould rally support for issues that matter,like respect and tolerance. Jo-Ann

WEAK RAND: PRICES SET TO SOAR

Food for thought for South AfricansCARRYN-ANN NEL

RICE, grain, bread, chicken and wheat.These are some of the products South

Africans will cough up more for overthe next three months due to the weakeningrand.

The weak rand is disadvantageous to con-sumers.

It especially has a negative impact on im-ported products, said Professor Johan Wille-

mse of the University of the Free State’s De-partment of Agricultural Economics. Thiscomes after the rand plummeted to R10,28 tothe dollar recently, amid fears of unrest inthe mining industry and indications that theinterest rates in the developed world maystrengthen. The rand has been trading at be-low R10 since the major drop.

It was recently reported that the weakerrand would lead to a bigger profit for export-ers, but imported products are more expen-

sive. So the price of which products will in-crease?

Willemse said the prices of a number ofproducts will rise in the next three months.“We import all our rice, so rice will be veryexpensive. We also import half of the grainused for bread products, so bread prices willrise,” he said.

“Then we have the debate about importedchicken, so the price of chicken will also in-crease. South Africa imports 350 000 tons ofchicken annually.

“Two-thirds of our cooking oils are im-ported, so those prices will also increase. Inaddition, wheat and maize will also rise.These increases have a ripple effect on eggan dairy farmers, because feeding becomesmore expensive.

“We have become a net-importer and thatmeans that the problem is rather serious –everything we buy is directly more expen-sive.”

Willemse said South Africans will onlyfeel the impact on their pockets in the nextthree months. The increase is expected to be

between 30% and 40% of the base price. “It’sa bad place for the country to be in, becausesalaries will not be increasing.”

According to Dawie Klopper, an invest-ment economist at PSG Consulting, import-ed vehicles – as well as the parts which aremostly imported – jewellery and furniturewill also be more expensive. The diminish-ing rand also has a psychological impact onconsumers, he added.

“The rand is seen as the share price of thecountry, so when the rand is not well, thecountry is not well. It is followed by a nega-tive sentiment.”

It also has an impact on the inflation rate.“It will prevent the interest rate from de-creasing and people who have borrowedmoney will select lower interest rates,”Klopper said.

The rand’s trading value also has an im-pact on the petrol price. “Despite the droplast week, the price may again increase nextmonth.”People’s Post took to the streets to hear

what readers had to say.

ALETTA JACKSON says South Africans are strug­gling and have no choice but to purchase theexpensive items. “Our salaries aren’t increasing.There’s very little we can do to change things.”

CHRISTO LAMBRECHTS says he’ll have to cut hisdown on the expenses of his social life. “The onlyoption I have is to party less and use the moneyfor food.”

MARGUERITE TRIMM says there are no measuresshe can put in place to see her rand go further.“There’s no contingency plan. Today you’ll haveenough and tomorrow something else increases.”

DARION PILLAY says salaries should be adjustedespecially for those in poorer communities. Healso points out there are simple ways to savemoney. “You can save money on electricity bycooking rice once a week and then freezing it.”

JOHAN MCMAHON: He says there is nothingyou can do about price increases. “Instead ofbuying take­away chips you can buy a pack ofoven chips and make it at home. You canalso cook enough food and freeze it.”

THYS EKSTEEN says people can still enjoy luxuriessuch as eating out as long as they stick to thespecials. “Also learn to buy any brand – sugar issugar, whether it’s Huletts or the no­name brand.”

PEOPLE'S POST | RETREATTuesday, 11 June 2013 GENERAL 9PROMULGATED: WHERE YOU CAN LIGHT UP

Anti-smoking law heads for last lapMARELIZE POTGIETER

THE days of smokers puffing on a ciga-rette ona stoep or the sidewalks outsiderestaurants or coffee shopsmay soonbe

numberedThe new regulations on smoking in public

places and outdoors are in the final stage be-fore being promulgated.So says JoeMaila, spokesperson forhealth

minister Dr Aaron Motsoaledi.“Our legal team is reviewing the regula-

tions. I cannot confirm when it will be dis-closed, but it is in the absolute final stage ofthe process.”

The proposed regulation was published inthe Government Gazette in March last year,after which it was made available for publiccomment.The proposal includes that no one may

smoke within 10m of a door or window of arestaurant; schools or areas where childrenare cared for; stadiums, sport arenas, play-grounds or zoos; health facilities; outdooreateries or bars; areas which serve as out-door locations; underground parking orwalkways; and on a beach within 50m ofsomeone swimming in a demarcated area.Restaurant owners would be held liable

for anyone smoking where it is not allowed.

They have to ensure there are no ashtraysavailable in sections of the restaurantwheresmoking is prohibited.Restaurants will be allowed to introduce

a smoking area on the premises.However, no food or entertainment can be

provided in this section and it may not beclose to a pavement or area with constantfoot traffic.No children under the age of 18 will be al-

lowed and smokers are to be discouragedfrom lingering in the demarcated smokingareabeyond the time it takes to smokea ciga-rette.ProfessorMichaelHerbst, theheadofCan-

sa’s health division, said second-handsmoke is very harmful. “Very few peoplesmoke without a filter. At least this is some-thing that protects you against arsenic, nico-tine and carbondioxide. The smoke from thefront end of the cigarette contains all theseharmful substances. Without a filter non-smokers are exposed to it.“There is also third-hand smoke. These

are the toxins in smokewhich cling to furni-ture and floors. Babies and children crawlon the surface and are exposed to it.”V Share your views by SMSing the word “Post”, fol-lowed by the your comments to 32516. SMSes costR1.

‘No fee’ for fishing rights?PHILDA ESSOP

SMALL-SCALE fishermen can look for-ward to paying very little or nothingwhen they re-apply for fishing rights.Desmond Stevens, the acting deputy

director-general of the Department ofFisheries, said the possibility is beingdriven by the department.He presented a proposal to the Parlia-

mentary Portfolio Committee for Agri-culture, Forestry and Fisheries aboutthe progress of the awarding of fishingrights. The rights of eight sectors expireon 31 December.The Small-scale Fishing Policy, as

well as amendments to the Act of LivingMarine Resources, was recently openedfor comment. These amendments andthe policy aims to officially acknowl-edge small-scale fishermen.Stevens said the department simpli-

fied the application process.In the past application forms consist-

ed of more than 30 pages and was diffi-cult to complete. The formswill be short-ened to just five pages and officials willbe on hand to assist with completion.“We also aim to make the application

fees more affordable. In the past it costbetweenR5 000 andR8 000.We’re consid-ering making this cost significantlyless,” Stevens said.“We are currently negotiating with

the National Treasury about theamount. We are also considering charg-ing nothing, with regard to the imple-

mentation of small-scale fishing policy.”Meriam Phaliso, ANC MP, welcomed

this step. “It will cancel out the middle-man who exploits people, leaving themwith just paper quotas,” she said.Amendments to the Act of Living Ma-

rine Resources will bring social relief.“This must be done at the speed of a jet,because it needed to be done 50 years agoalready,” Phaliso said.ANC MP Salam Abram warned Ste-

vens that people would hold him to hisword. “You do not make a promise youcannot keep,” he said.Stevens again stated that the depart-

ment was in negotiations with the Na-tional Treasury to abandon the applica-tion fee for small-scale fishermen. Hesaid consultants charged people up toR900 to complete forms for the renewalof permits.

NADINE MOODIE

ENERGY, cool loud beats and dancers doingall sorts of body twisting tricks that shouldcome with a “don’t try this at home” warn-

ing label. That’s hip hop.The dance craze has broken the stereotypes

once attached to it and has moved to a universaldance style, says Daphne Jubber, director of theSouth African Dance Teachers Association (Sad-ta).

This year she’s coordinating the National HipHop Championships taking place at the GoodHope Centre this Saturday and Sunday. The funstarts at 09:00 on both days.

“The competition caters to all age groups, sec-tions, categories and styles of hip hop dance,”says Jubber.

She says there are eight categories, includingelectric boogie, adult (for people between the agesof 31 and 59), break dance, team battles, streetdance show, production and para dancers.

Sadta, which has been in existence for 78 yearsand is running the event this year, wants youngpeople from communities throughout Cape Townto attend the event.

“Young people in Cape Town are talented. Iwent overseas some years ago and saw Americanyouth doing hip hop. I realised that our youngpeople were exercising their raw talent doing thesame thing on the streets,” she says.

Jubber, who was always a dancer, is passionateabout her craft and teaches young people in someof the city’s impoverished communities.

She says she loves what she does.“It’s such a fulfilling job seeing people with tal-

ent who come from challenging circumstancesdance and later get jobs as trainers,” she says.

“I’m inspired by their talent and what they’reable to do with their bodies. At Sadta we’re com-mitted to development and teaching hip hopdancers to become trainers now.

“We break down what they already know sothey are able to teach others and find employ-ment with this craft,” she says.

Jubber is not blind to the challenges whichcome with being involved in the genre.

“People still associate negativity with thestyle, but it’s fun and everybody should try it. Allyou need is a body, two feet and a patient teach-er,” she says.

“Sponsorship for this dance style is difficult tocome by. It is frustrating knowing the govern-ment gives money to certain sports and not toarts and culture.

“We’re uplifting the community by teachingpeople skills and empowering them by usingtheir own talents, but yet government overlooksthis and turns a blind eye.”V For more information contact Daphne Jubber on082 770 4877. Alternatively email her on jubber@iafri-ca.com.

Edujazz at ArtscapeSOME young talents are takingto the stage at Artscape thisweek in celebration of YouthMonth, and the Delft Big Bandis part of it all.

The 13th annual SekunjaloEdujazz Concert takes place onSaturday night and this bigband will be blowing up a stormwith the best of them.

The junior contingent of jazzwill be represented by the or-chestra of Rondebosch East Pri-mary School, who will be ma-king another appearance at thefestival after impressing audi-ences some years ago.

Another highlight on Satur-day will be the performance ofthe popular MiCasa, who havewon some Sama awards fortheir soulful house sound.

Pride of place must go to theDelft Band who are also back onthe bill by public demand.

Band leader Ian Smith’s mu-sical proteges have been hard atwork in recent weeks, perfor-ming to a standing ovation atthe Cape Town Big Band Festi-val on the opening night. Andthey’re heading to France laterthis year as part of a French-South African cultural exchan-ge programme.

Started in 2008 this projecthas developed into a world-class ensemble that is produ-cing some top class soloists.

Trumpeter Lorenzo Blignaut

is now studying at UCT. He waspart of the band for David Kra-mer’s production of Kat and theKings.

Vocalists Adelia Douw andDavid October are also growinginto performers who take to thestage with confidence and al-ways has the crowd begging formore.

In July, Douw will be atten-ding the prestigious BerkleeMusic College in America to at-tend a vocal Summer Camp formusicians from across theworld.

Over the past 12 years this se-ries of concerts has been raisingfunds for bursaries for disad-vantaged youths to provide aplatform for inspiration and ho-pe.

It has also given talented mu-sicians from various schoolsthe opportunity to be mentoredby some of the legends of SA mu-sic. And some of those earlyEdujazz alumni are now gro-wing into legends themselves.

Some of these include pianistKyle Shepherd, trumpeter Dar-ren English, bassist Shaun Jo-hannes, and sax man DonvinoPrins, who have all grown intorespected performers after per-forming in some of the first con-certs.V This year’s concert takes place at Art-scape on Saturday at 19:30. Tickets, atR75, available from Computicket.

Shiny silverware for GlendeneLIAM MOSES

GLENDENE UNITED will launchstraight into preparations for the SA-FA Second Division promotion play-

offs after winning the league on Fridaynight.United beat Ida’s Valley 5-2 to top the Sec-

ond Division log after All Stars, who hadlead the standings, were docked nine pointsfor fielding an unregistered player in threegames this season.Although Stars may still appeal the deci-

sion before the seven-day window closes ontomorrow (Wednesday 12 June), Glendenecoach Duran Francis says his side do nothave time for a break ahead of their trip toJohannesburg.“The period before the play-offs start is so

short, thatwewill start preparing for Johan-nesburg as soon as possible. The boys needto get used to the conditions up there,” hesays.“It has been a very long season. It started

almost a year ago, but this is a part of thebusiness andwe just have to try and prepareas best as possible and have a successfulplay-offs.”No date has been set for the play-offs as

yet, but it is believed it will take place overthe penultimate or last weekend thismonth.

Glendene will face off against their coun-terparts from the eight other provinces inSouth Africa, in hopes of claiming one of thetwo National First Division (NFD) spotsavailable.While Francis knows the play-offs will be

a challenge for his young, inexperiencedside, he has faith thatGlendene’s players un-derstand the value of promotion and willfight hard to achieve it.“The boys showed a lot of character. It’s

all about thewillpower andmentality. In thepast everyCapeTown team that has finishedon top in the league has always done well inthe play-offs,” he says.“It’s aboutmental strengthbefore anddur-

ing the play-offs. There are different condi-tions, different styles of play and differentteams and if the players adapt they shoulddowell. It’s going to be very difficult becausethere is a lot to play for.”Meanwhile, the other Second Division

sides based in the south were not too far offthe pace this season.Manenberg sideCrystal Palace finished in

fourth, while ASD Salt River Blackpool fin-ished in seventh and Lansdowne’s RC Ath-letico were eighth.Steenberg United finished in ninth spot,

while Mitchell’s Plain United were 10th andPinelands club Old Mutual were 11th.

Junior rugby tourney in PlainLIAM MOSES

THE Tafelsig High School Alumni Associa-tion hope a newly-founded tournament willhelp grow rugby inMitchell’s Plain and stopthe area’s “moral value from declining”.The inaugural Thabiet Rossier Legacy

Cup, founded by the Association, will takeplace on Monday 17 June and feature Tafel-sig and seven other under-19 teams.Mark Skriker, former chairperson of the

Association and tournament organiser, saysthe tournament aims “to celebrate ThabietRossier’s life, but we also want to invigoratesport in this area”.“There is than one alumni association in

Mitchell’s Plain. Beacon Hill has one andMondale also has one,” he says.“Weare trying to encourageall the schools

to form alumni associations, because we areconcerned there is a declining moral valuedue to the social challenges.Wewant to keepthe youth busy with constructive activities.There is a league but rugby has died out inthis area, especially at primary school lev-el.”Rossier was one of the pioneers of the

Tafelsig High Alumni Association and ateacher at Spine Road and Glendale Highschools who died in April.Skriker says Rossier was “well known in

sporting circles”, having played rugby forSilvertree RFC, UWC and SKWalmers RFC.He also played cricket for United CricketClub.

Rossier also played and coached at Caledo-nian Roses RFC, one of the eight teams par-ticipating in the tournament.The other teams hoping to stake their

claim on the title are Tafelsig, Spine Road,Princeton, Strandfontein, Portland, Len-tegeur and Beacon Hill. The winning teamwill take home R5 000 and a floating trophy.“Caledonian Roses will be one of the fa-

vourites. A school like Spine Road Highplays against some of the strongest schoolsevery Saturday, so they will also be one ofthe favourites,” says Skriker.“Lentegeur has a host of Collegians play-

ers, so theywill be strong aswell, while Port-land and Strandfontein are also very good.”All the participating schools currently

compete in the Mitchell’s Plain VukaLeague, while Roses participates in the WPSchools Rugby leagues. Spine Road plays inboth.Skriker, who coaches the Tafelsig under-

19 team, says the Association took control ofrugby at the school after three yearswithoutthe sport being played.He adds that the Thabiet Rossier Legacy

Cup will be an annual event. The tourna-ment will take place at Spine Road HighSchool onMonday 17 June.Entrywill be freeto pupils fromparticipating schoolswearingtheir school uniform; admission for specta-tors is R5.V Fixtures: 08:30 – Strandfontein vs Portland High;09:15 – Tafelsig vs Beacon Hill ; 10:00 – Spine Roadvs Princeton; 10:45 ; Caledonian Roses vs Lentegeur.

Sergil overcomesall obstaclesLIAM MOSES

A SOUTHERN suburbs cricketer has been rewarded forhis hard work and dedication to the game, claiming acoveted award.

Sergil January won the Blind Cricketer of the Year awardat the annual Western Province Cricket Association awardsdinner on last month.The Cafda Village resident says winning the award is his

second greatest achievement, after representing the SouthAfrica at the inaugural blind cricketT20WorldCup inBanga-lore, India last year.“It’s a phenomenal feeling to win the each time,” he says.“Winning the WP Blind Cricketer of the Year award is al-

ready phenomenal, but making the South African team andrepresentingmycountrywas themost awesome thing I couldever do.”January took up the game in 2010, after initial reluctance

to take up any sports.He has since progressed at a surprising rate.He was selected for the WP team in his first season and

was called up to the national squad in 2012, after only twoyears.Armand Bam, SA team coach and World Blind Cricket

Council technical director and director of African develop-ment for blind cricket, says January has shown “incredible”.“Sergil’s climb up the cricketing ladder has been quite pro-

lific. He applied himself well after not really wanting to playsport,” says Bam.“In the space of three years he has gone from being a club

cricketer to a national player. He is one of the best playersin SA and he has the ability to bat and field well. His battingand fielding are on par with other international players.”January lost his sight after a gunshot to his head in 2006,

but he has not let this stop him from achieving both on andoff the field.The League of Friends

of the Blind (Lofob) clubplayer is completing hismatric. He says thegame of cricket has giv-en him a freedom he didnot experience since be-coming blind.“I love that I am free

and I can run when Iwant to, I can hit whenI want to and throwwhen I want to,” saysJanuary.“It’s the fact that I am

free to do what I wantand not be afraid of ob-stacles. It’s somethingthat I have never reallydone as a blind person.”V For more information onblind cricket contact the Lo-fob on (021) 705 2154.
