WARD 72

Burger hands over reignsCHEVON BOOYSEN

@ChevonBooysen

A stalwart who served his communitiesfor 14 years as local ward councillorhas decided to do his swan song.

Johannes Burger, better known as Jan,has handed his resignation letter to the Cityof CapeTownandwill be serving his last dayin office on Saturday 31 January.The resignation letter comes a year-and-a-

half before elections for a newward council-lor.Burger served in two subcouncils since he

started his duties in 2001.As a resident of Southfield, Burger says

during his service as a ward councillor healways wanted to go the extra mile for fel-low residents and those who resided in hisward.Burger says, althoughhis retirement com-

mences earlier than planned, he looks for-ward to spendingmore timewith his family.“People keep telling me that I will be los-

ing a year-and-a-half’s pension but I look for-ward to be spendingmore timewithmy fam-ily. I will probably return to communitywork after a short break,” he adds.The 70-year-old Burger says he wants to

hand over the reigns to somebody youngerin the upcoming ward 72 elections.He adds there were many highs and lows

during his time as ward councillor.“I will definitely miss working so closely

withmy community. Iwillmiss all residentswhowere part ofmyward andwhomademyjob a pleasure.”Burger says although he leaves as ward

councillor, he still remains concerned forthe community, especially the youth.“I have a deep concern for pupilswho drop

out of school at an early age. You see pupilswho are in Grade 5 but they drop out ofschool. I want to see less of this happening,”he says.Burger says a new councillor has not yet

been appointed to fill his position until theupcoming elections.“Interim elections will take place for

somebody to be appointed in the position Inow leave vacant. I am not sure when this

process will take place,” he explains.In a parting message, Burger has encour-

aged other ward councillors to continue do-ing their jobs to the best of their ability.“Personal contactwithyour community is

very important. Also strive not to be nega-tive about situations and, as far as possible,to stay away form negative proposals,” hesays.

Burger says it was a pleasure servingward 72.Community Police Forum (CPF) chairper-

son Kevin Southgate says Burger alwayshad “his ears to the ground”.“I have known and worked with Burger

for many years. He is always willing to gothe extra mile when required to do so,”Southgate says.

Southgate adds Burger was dedicated andcommitted to ensuring services in his wardwas maintained at all times and was of goodquality.“He clearly cared for the community and

that was bourne out in theway he served hisconstituents.”V What are your thoughts? Starting with the word“Post”, SMS your views to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

New boat set to bolster water rescuesFlooding and water rescue operations bytheCity ofCapeTown’sFire andRescueSer-vice have been bolstered by the acquisitionof a new hi-tech rubber boat worth almostR400 000.

A City statement says this rubber boatwill help boost the response of its DivingUnit. The new boat has a 95F fuel tank andcan fit six crew members with their divinggear, as well as multiple patients. It is alsorigged to do resuscitation (CPR) on board.

The City has a multi-functional emergen-cy response service that deals with a rangeof incidents apart from fire suppression andprevention, including a group of 24 quali-fied divers and 10 skippers.

This year the City will boost the staff bytraining an additional 10 divers and 10 skip-pers. The new boat adds to the unit’s fleetof two rubber ducks, three jet-skis and analuminium boat that is used on inland wa-ter bodies and in flooding situations.

JP Smith, of the City’s safety and securitydirectorate, says: “We have invested quiteheavily in our specialised services so thatwe can offer the best possible service to ourresidents.

“This is but the latest example of our ef-forts and shows our commitment to creat-ing a safer city.”

HEALTH

Pipes in questionMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

As the use of hookah pipes in restau-rants and other venues becomes morepopular, the City of Cape Town is lob-

bying for legislative clarity on the matter.According to a statement, the City will be

escalating its efforts this year for legislativeclarity on the wide array of “alternative”smoking devices and habits that have be-come commonplace in South Africa.

Tobacco ActBenedicta van Minnen, City Mayoral

Committee Member for Health, says earlierthis year the City solicited legal opinionfrom the national health department aboutthe use of electronic or e-cigarettes, but saysthis continues to be a grey area as there areno provisions for these items in the TobaccoControl Amendment Act.

When it comes to the smoking of ciga-rettes, Van Minnen says the legislation isvery clear and the City is seeking similarclarity on hookah pipes and e-cigarettes.

“In the absence of legislation, there isnothing that prevents establishments from‘renting’ hookah pipes to patrons or thepipes being used in areas where smokingwould otherwise not be allowed,” she ex-plains.

HealthVan Minnen further highlights research

done on the effects of hookah pipe smoking.She explains in the most recent study in

America, it was found that 39% of teenagersand young adults who had previouslysmoked hookah pipes went on to smoke cig-arettes.

“Hookah pipes are very popular in CapeTown, not just among adults, but also chil-

dren because there is a perception that theflavoured tobacco is somehow not harmful.Tobacco is tobacco, no matter what the fla-vour.Weneed to bemoremindful as a socie-ty about the burden we’re placing on thehealthcare system.”

With high levels of respiratory diseasessuch as tuberculosis, Van Minnen says au-thorities have to make every effort to com-bat these.

Officials from the City’s health depart-ment have met with researchers from bothUCT and the UWC. “The consensus is thatwhile the research is not definitive, smok-ing hookah pipes is harmful to the healthof an individual. The researchers are alsoin agreement that nicotine remains one ofthe most addictive substances, especiallyfor young people,” says Van Minnen.

EffectsAccording to a fact sheet by the South Af-

rican Medical Research Council (MRC)smoke from a hookah pipe is not better thancigarette smoke because it passes throughwater. This is because, like cigarette smoke,hookah smoke contains poisons includingnicotine, tar, carbonmonoxide, arsenic andlead.

The sheet covers a variety of topics in-cluding the long-termhealth effects of smok-ing hookah.

It says smoking hookah can be as addic-tive as cigarettes and the long-term effectsinclude cancers of the mouth, lungs andbladder or a heart attack.

In addition the spread of other diseasesare often linked to smoking hookah as thepipe is shared among smokers.

The sheet also outlines the effects of sec-ondary smoke from a hookah pipe whichnon-smokers, in this instance, are exposedto.

“Children whose parents smoke hookahsaremore likely to have lung infections thanchildren whose parents do not,” it reads.

StudyAccording to a study conducted byProfes-

sor Angela Mathee, who heads the MRC’sEnvironment and Health Research Unit infive “deprived” areas in Johannesburg,high rates of hookah smoking were ob-served.

As part of the study, a survey was con-ducted with Grade 10 pupils from a nearbyschoolwhere itwas found that 60%of pupilshadusedorwere currently smokinghookahpipes.

The results also indicate that most usersstarted smoking hookah pipes between theages of 13 and 15.

The study also says a significant numberof users had reported usingmarijuana or al-cohol-based products along with the tobac-co. It highlights the need for nationwide re-search on the extent of hookah smoking inSouth Africa.

Van Minnen says she will be raising theissues with national health minister AaronMotsoaledi to push for legal clarity on theuse of hookah pipes and e-cigarettes soonerrather than later.

“I am not necessarily pushing for a banon the devices, because to be fair there isnot definitive proof of their impact. But wedo need to close the legislative vacuumwhere these devices are concerned,” sheconcludes.

The Diving Unit of the City of Cape Town’s Fire and Rescue Service is keeping up with thelatest trends after it recently added a new rescue rubber boat to its fleet. It will helpenhance their current capacity to deal with rescue operations in the water. PHOTO: SUPPLIED

A Retreat business owner hasbeen left to recover the lossesafter a burglary at his busi-

ness.PatrickKuhn, owner ofMorton’s

Auto Service in 10th Avenue, Re-treat, says his business had beenbroken into on Sunday 11 January.

“The people who had burgledmybusiness cameback to get rid of ev-idence. Two weeks prior to themost recent burglary, they stolethe outside CCTV cameras. I thinkthey realised they were recorded,”Kuhn says.

He adds the burglars came backto his business during the night onSunday 11 January and stole moreof his equipment.

“They must have realised thatthey were recorded when theycame here the first time so theycame back for the CCTV harddrive. Along with the hard drive,they stole four of my computerswhich were in the workshop,”Kuhn adds.

He says the unknown suspectsgained access to his workshopthrough the roof of his business.

“When they got inside, they obvi-ously did not have enough light.They did not want to alert the secu-rity that we have on site and lit afire inside the workshop with plas-tic.”

A section of the panel shop wasdamaged due to the flames, headds.

“They needed the fire to see bet-ter, I assume. A huge section of myworkshop suffered damages be-cause of the fire and smoke,” Kuhnadds.

Luckily, Kuhn says, no damageswere reported on the cars whichwere at the workshop at the time.

“I have operated my business inthis area for more than 30 years al-ready. I somewhat expected some-thing like this to happen but I justdid not expect them to comethrough the roof,” he says.

Kuhn says the case was reportedthe same day at Steenberg PoliceStation.

“I went there personally to re-port the matter and was assistedquite quickly.

“However, the process that fol-lowed was very lengthy and de-layed,” he says.

Kuhn says police took almost

“half a day” to respond to thescene.

“I can understand that they arebusy and there is a process in placebut that was just too long to waitfor a response.”

Kuhn says he had to return tonormal business the same day.

“I suffered damages in the regionof R90 000 and although I am cov-ered by insurance, this is a heftysum. I could not let my work standstill. It really was just such amajorinconvenience” he says.

Community Police Forum (CPF)chairperson Kevin Southgate saysincidents like these are happeningtoo often.

“Just at the end of last year wehad another business that was setalight during the night. It needs tobe monitored and our businessowners are doing all they can tosafeguard themselves with noluck,” says Southgate.

Steenberg police spokespersonConstable Zodwa Kedama con-firms the incident and adds thecase is under investigation.

The Bible to be translatedinto SA sign languageDelegates of the Reformed Churches inSouthAfrica recently sat in silence as a signlanguage linguist and researcher informedthem about the development of a new Biblein South African sign language.Ananda van der Walt, a translator for the

Hands with Words project to translate theBible into sign language, told them there isa huge need for ministering among the deafcommunity in South Africa.“We do not have people in South Africa

who can directly translate the Bible intosign language,” Van der Walt explained.She said this is the first ever attempt to

translate the entire Bible into South Afri-can sign language.The Jehovah’s Witnesses are the only

ones yet to have translated the Bible intosign language for their deaf followers.Van der Walt says the deaf society wants

a Bible in their first language, which is signlanguage.

For the deaf who use sign language, tohave to read the Bible in another languageis very difficult.Lisa Craye, executive director of Hands

with Words, said they aim to launch 32evangelical Bible stories by the end of thisyear.The plan is to translate 110 stories to the

letter into sign language, but eventually toprovide the deaf with the full Bible in signlanguage.“It is going to take us forever to translate

theBible,” she joked. Since theproject start-ed in 2013, they only managed to translate16 stories. God’sWord is for each and every-one,” she says.Craye says the reaction from the deaf

communityafter seeingadraft of theBible’screation story in sign language, was incred-ible. “It was the first time they have everheard of and read the story.”– Translated from Die Burger

TABLE MOUNTAIN

How to bikeat natural wonderMountain biking over the last few

years has become a popular recre-ational activity in the Table

Mountain National Park (TMNP).For the mountain biking enthusiasts

or those fairly new to the sport, here iswhat you need to know to enjoy moun-tain biking in a national park.TheTMNP is governedbynational leg-

islation under the National Environ-mental Management: Protected AreasAct (Nempa). It states that all activitiesmust be regulated by the managementauthority to protect endangered species,habitats and ecological systems.An Environmental Management Plan

is also developed for each activity in thepark, including dog walking, mountainbiking, horse riding and recreationalfishing. A rigorous stakeholder engage-ment processwas followed and rules andregulations for each activity were decid-ed upon.

Pricing and Law EnforcementA fee was calculated based on the cur-

rent SANParks Wild Card System andthe relative environmental impact of theparticular activity, excluding the bikingtrails.Various national job creation pro-

grammes provide funds to maintain the

vast mountain biking tracks availablefor every level of mountain biking.Many of these tracks were developed

with the input and financial support ofthe major mountain biking associationsthat enjoy the park.The cost for mountain biking in the

TMNP isR460 a year and includes unlim-ited access to ride in this natural wonderand World National Heritage site.Family cards for mountain biking will

also be introduced soon.To ensure and protect the natural as-

sets of the park for continuous enjoy-ment of its recreational activities, self-regulation among user groups has be-come one of the park’s law enforcementtools.This has proved very effective and

most users abide by the rules and regula-tions set out for their activity.Trespassers of these codeswill be pros-

ecuted.Almost two million mountain users

enjoy a variety of activities per year.Formore information and a list of sale

EDUCATION

Achieveyour goalsMany of last year’s matriculants now

find themselves in a situation wheretheir plans to study towards a degree

this year were thwarted by marks whichdidn’t allow them to make the cut.But, says Dr Anne-Ka van den Hoek, of a

private higher education institution, thereis still a way for those who remain deter-mined to study towards a bachelor’s degree.Such pupils can pursue a higher certificate,which will allow them to take the next stepwithout having to repeat their matric.She says a higher certificate is a great op-

tion for these prospective students.Van den Hoek says a higher certificate in

Business Principles and Practice, a highercertificate in IT in Support Services or ahigher certificate in Events Management,for instance, will give students access to aBCom, a Bachelor of IT in Business Sys-tems, or BA the year after completion.“And the good news is that the higher cer-

tificate is available to anyone who onlyachieved a higher certificate pass in theirNational Senior Certificate,” she says. “Soyou do not have to give up your degreedreams.”But, she points out, the key is to fully en-

gage with your higher certificate, so thatyou can develop some of the key skills youmay have been lacking that resulted in younot achieving a bachelor’s pass to startwith.Van den Hoek says it is important that

matriculants check that the institution theyregister with for a higher certificate sup-ports all studentswith focused academic lit-eracy modules and a full-year programmedesigned to bridge the gap between school

and higher education.She says higher certificates have re-

placed many foundation programmes, asthey provide students with an opportunityto gain a full qualificationwhile at the sametime mastering those essential skills need-ed for higher education success – broadlyknown as academic literacies.“These range fromhow to engage success-

fully with academic material, to how to re-view information and present it appropri-atelywith the level of synthesis required forsuccessful academic study,” she says.But, shewarns,while all degrees at public

and private higher education institutionsare subject to the same quality assurancerequirements, they are not all alike.“Students should not only look at en-

trance requirements, but also at the curric-ulum and the alignment of that curriculumwith their future career aspirations. This isparticularly important for those degreesthat can be quite generic, such as a BComor a BA.A focus on strategic management, for in-

stance, raises the bar on one’s study of busi-ness management and differentiates gradu-ates. And becoming a lawyer is not the onlycareer path to follow a degree with a legalfocus. The integration of legal subjects withbusiness management in a BCom degreeforms a solid basis for a career in corporategovernance or leadership, she says.Van denHoek says studentswhowere not

accepted at the institution of their choice,didn’t gain a bachelor’s pass, or who needto strengthen their academic abilities be-fore studying for a degree, will all do wellto consider the higher certificate route.

HEATHFIELD

Railway in ruinsCHEVON BOOYSEN

@ChevonBooysen

An illegal and vandalised thor-oughfare in Chad Road, Re-treat, has residents at wits’

end as they fear for their safety.Residents living in Heathfield

are fumingover thevandalism thathas taken place at the railway linejust weeks after having a fence re-paired.

Resident Chris Gertze says a pal-isade fence was repaired duringSeptember but less than a day lat-er, he noticed that a nut and boltwas already removed from the fen-cing.

“One of the neighbours fixed thefence with a piece of wire to avoidpeople using it as a thoroughfare,”a concerned Gertze says.

He adds that a container found

on the corners of Station and Pres-ence roads is being “systematical-ly” stripped.

“The palisade fence has beenvandalised to gain access to rail-way property apart from any otherunlawful activities.”

He adds that safety is an urgencyin the area and has requested theassistance of law enforcement andthe police.

Another resident, Mike Adams,who lives close to the railway line,says the area which has been van-dalised and is a “complete messand disgrace”.

“These trains which park over-night are now being used as a play-ground by children in the area. Abig concern is that these trainsmay be set alight one of these daysif the area is not secured,” Adamsadds.

He says the matter has been re-ported, but no response has yetbeen received.

“All that we are told every timeis that the complaint has been

handed to the relevant depart-ment. It’s as if they are passing thebuck each time but we suffer theconsequences.”

Regional manager for Metrorail

Richard Walker says these con-cerns will be raised at a joint secu-rity meeting.

“The regional head of protectionservices and the commander of theRailway Police note the securityconcerns and will take this intoconsideration during their weeklyjoint security meeting,” Walkersays.

He adds the region does its ut-most to expedite the replacementof fencing.

“We continue to motivate for ad-ditional funding but we are alsoacutely aware that we are compet-ing for finite resources. The fen-cing teamwill investigate and sub-mit a progress report to me,” heconcludes.V What are your thoughts? Staring withthe word “Post”, SMS your views to 32516.SMSes cost R1.

Invite to Run the RoodebergMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

In the early hours on Saturday 24 January,walkers, runners andnature lovers acrossCape Town will be preparing to Run the

Roodeberg.A bold campaign to help preserve and en-

joy the mountain slopes behind Capri hastaken shape.In January last year, WWF South Africa,

the TableMountain Fund and SouthAfricanNational Parks set out to obtain two piecesof privately owned land for incorporation in-to the Table Mountain National Park(TMNP). They launched their campaign,called Restore the Roodeberg, and lobbied toraise R9.2m to acquire the remaining prop-erties on the northern section.In a statement issued in July, the conser-

vation bodies announced they had boughtthe 134ha property, one of the two pieces ofland. Following this campaign, the CapriNeighbourhoodWatch launched theRun theRoodeberg event.Watch member Eric Riemann says along

with efforts to raise funds for the CapriCCTV camera project, the watch sought asustainable model to fund the project.They conceptualised the running event

which will see 250 participants take to thehiking trails to take in breathtaking viewsof the mountainscape and help raise fundsfor the Restore the Roodeberg campaign.Riemann says the eventwill consist of two

trails of 16km and 6km respectively.According to their website, runners will

start the 16km race by crossing the foot-bridge that divides the Navy’s land fromTMNP, passing the Glencairn Stables andclimbing up to the top of Glencairn Pass.

For the 6km race, runners will start at thesame point but after the 3km mark it takesa left turn and rewards the runners withsome fun fast flowing tracks.Riemann says participants pay R90 for the

6kmandR150 for the 16km; R50 of each entrywill go towards the campaign. The remain-der of the funds will cover operational costsand go towards the Capri NeighbourhoodWatch. They plan to publish the financials

to ensure transparency. “The event is aboutcelebrating community collaboration tohelp restore the Roodeberg and improvesafety of residents in Capri.”V Register on www.runtheroodeberg.co.za.

Giving back to the communityCHEVON BOOYSEN

@ChevonBooysen

Volunteers came out in their numbers tosupport an international volunteeringprogramme.They supported the Day for Interna-

tional Volunteerism for Economic andSocialDevelopment,whichwas celebrat-ed on Friday 5 December, says a state-mentOn that day, thousands of people vol-

unteered their time to prepare and runactivities for children and youths underthe auspices of the Scouts movement.These programmes are run in many

areas, some of which are plagued by vio-lence and gangsterism such as Retreat.Children growing up in Retreat and

Lavender Hill know that life can be chal-lenging. And one personwho knowswellis Kurt Maritz, now owner of MaritzElectrical in Cape Town, who is proud ofhis roots in Retreat Scouts.Even though he moved out of Retreat

whenhegotmarried 15years ago, he con-tinues to give back to the Scout troop.And in giving back to his community,

Maritz decided to donate six tents, alongwith other goods, to the Retreat Scouts.“I was a Scout until I was 16 years old

and itwas such a big part ofmy life grow-

ing up. My long-time friend Colin Popeand Iwere inRetreat Scouts together andhe and his father Wilmot Pope, now vol-untarily run the Scout Group in Re-treat,” Maritz says.Recently, while judging a cooking

competition, Maritz noticed the Scoutgroup has “very little” and wanted to as-sist where he could. “I asked what theirneeds were. Even though they need somuch, they were very hesitant to ask. Aspart of our commitment to the communi-ty, we felt we just had to get involved andwe donated six tents, t-shirts, golf shirtsand caps for all the Scouts andScouters.”Maritz lauded the efforts of the volun-

teers who work with the Scouts.“The adult volunteers of the Retreat

Scouts Group give boys and girls the ide-al training they need for life. Scoutingplays a vital role in the formative yearsof children and is something I am grate-ful for being introduced to.”Maritz adds were it not for the Scout-

ing group, many more youths would becaught in the cycle of gangsterism anddrugs in the poverty-stricken area.“I encourage all boys and girls to be-

long to this movement, which is de-signed to make us better citizens thatstrive to make the world a better place,”he concludes.

CREDIT CARD FRAUD

SafeguardbusinessCard fraud is rampant in South Africa –

and growing at an alarming rate.This is according to DonovanMarais,

of a payment solutions firm, who says thisyear, losses due to credit card fraud have in-creased by 23% to R453.9m, according to thelatest statistics from the SA Banking RiskInformation Centre.

Though much of the press coverage focus-es on consumer education, merchants ab-sorb many of the risks and losses attachedto card fraud. This is especially true of the‘card not present’ transactions in e-com-merce – themost risky formof card paymentfor an SME.

If you’re taking your small business on-line, says Marais, it is essential to protectyourself by following best practices andworking with a reputable payment gateway.

Tips to help you transact safely onlinewith your customers include:

Know your customerIn online commerce, you are not certain

ofwho is sitting on the other end of the inter-net connection performing the transactionandyoudon’t have sight of thedebit or creditcard.

For all you know, it could be someonewhohas stolen the card details. For that reason,you need to take every reasonable precau-tion to ensure the person you are transact-ing with is who he or she claims to be.

Some steps you can take to this end in-clude:

. Don’t ship to post office boxes, but onlyto physical addresses.

. Use a reputable delivery stream, such asa courier that checks identification on deliv-ery of the goods.

. For a customer’s first transaction, youcould insist on clearing it with the bank ifdelivery is not to the cardholder’s billing ad-dress.

. Ask for an IDnumberandusean IDveri-fication service to check that the ID numberactually exists and ties to the name of thecardholder.

. Once customers are registered, youcould send a one-time PIN via SMS or email(in much the same way as the banks do)when they transact. That gives your custom-ers an extra layer of protection in case theirpasswords are stolen.

Get PCI-compliant or don’t store paymentdetails

Every company that accepts credit cardpayments must be aware of the PaymentCard Industry’s Data Security Standards(PCIDSS) – a regulatory framework fromthefinancial services industry. Its require-

ments include protecting data behind fire-walls, encrypting cardholder data, stayingup to datewithvirus protection, and control-ling who has access to customers’ card de-tails.

As a small business, youmight not be ableto afford all of the information security re-quirements demanded by PCI. It may makesense to allow a payments provider to collectand manage card data on your behalf. Whencustomers pay, they’ll be directed to a securepage operated by your payment gateway andyour business won’t need to store their data.This will help protect you and your custom-er alike.

Comply with 3D Secure for digital paymentsIn a brick and mortar store, customers

need to punch a PIN code in at the point ofsale before their card payment is processed.Online, you should use the 3D Secure tech-nology to verify payments.

Customerswill be directed to a securewebpage hosted by their bank, where they willneed to supply a one-use code they receivedby SMS or email sent by their bank. Thathelps to limit fraud since the fraudster willneed more than the basic credit card infor-mation to complete an online transaction. Ifyou are working with a good payments com-pany, it will not only support 3D Secure – itwill insist on it.

Set a sensible floor limitOnegoodway toprotect yourbusiness and

your customers from the threat of big finan-cial losses is to set a sensible floor limit. Thisrefers to the maximum value of a transac-tion you will allow without calling the bankto verify its authenticity.

For example, you might decide you willnot automatically process a transaction ofmore than R5000 without giving the bank acall first to validate it.

Work with reputable couriersIf you’re delivering goods to customers

who shop online, you should work with acredible courier company.

When delivering expensive items, insistthat the courier verify the customer’s identi-fication by asking to see his or her green IDbook. And the courier must always get theperson taking receipt of the goods to sign forthem.

Monitor chargebacks carefullyPayments companies give cardholders 180

days to dispute any credit card transaction.Verify every chargeback to ensure thatcustomers aren’t disputing valid transac-tions.

Residents living in the informal settlement Die Gatjie in Retreat were left homeless aftera fire spread through the township on Monday 12 January. Media spokesperson for Fireand Rescue Services, Theo Layne, says the fire left 80 people displaced. Layne says thefire was caused by a “candle or similar device that was left unattended and this led tothe fire spreading to more structures”. One woman was treated for smoke inhalation andwas taken to Victoria Hospital for medical attention. No deaths or injuries were report-ed. PHOTO: CLINTON HENDRICKS

PEOPLE'S POST | RETREATTuesday, 20 January 201510 LEADER

WRITE TO US |email | fax | post City needs different approach to traffic

Some of the comments regarding trafficcongestion are quite bizarre.

Paul Wilson wants traffic calmingmeasures on Tecoma Road.

Well, what did he expect when speedbumps were installed on Aureole Road?These speed bumps are dangerous asthey aren’t visible at night, in the rainor when in shadow. Hitting one of theseat the speed limit of 60km/h risksdamage to the motor vehicle and occu-pants.

My wife suffered a severe concussionearlier this year when her head hit theroof after hitting one of these unseenspeed bumps.

I am unable to understand why chil-dren should be able to play in the street.Streets are for cars and parks are forchildren!

It is high time that the AutomobileAssociation of South Africa does some-thing about the proliferation of speed

bumps as they are a dangerous hazard.It should only be used in extreme cases

and in conjunction with flashing lights.What is wrong with a speed camera

and enforcement if in fact speeding is theissue?

It is bizarre, to say the least, that thecity has speed limits and yet installsspeed bumps that requires the motoristto slow down to 10-15km/h .

But then this city management hasdone lots of other bizarre things like bikepaths that no one uses, along withconcrete posts on the same bike pathsthat are barely wider than the bicycleand rider.

Brett Herron and his cohorts haven’thad an original idea regarding traffic andthe decision to resurrect a plan from the1960s would be a farce if it didn’t involvethe huge expenditure of taxpayers’money.

To run a bus up Ottery Road, then

re-align with South Road, uprooted awhole community to run this routethrough Wynberg, tearing down housesin the process, not to mention buildingan underpass (that will probably flood inthe winter) shows a serious lack ofimagination.

The simple thing to do, since thisMyCiti bus route comes from Khayelit-sha, is to route it up Wetton Road whereit could meet with the taxi parking areawhich is adjacent to Wynberg station.

Unfortunately ideas from the taxpayersare given no consideration at all as theCity has “experts” that are somehowsmarter than we are.

We, the taxpayers, need to be betterinformed and somehow have veto powerto stop out-of-control City bureaucratsfrom ramming their stupid ideas downour throats.BRIAN HOARE,Plumstead

Cop resourcesI am sure I am not the only onewho gets very worried when theMetro Police and police use thereason that they do not have“enough vehicles to do” their job.

Immediately my mind goes toseveral places where you will findMetro Police and police patrolvehicles parking overnight and forfull days at various home addresses.

Am I the only thinking this is aproblem? I would like to tackle thisissue with the Metro Police andpolice.

I am, therefore, appealing to allreaders to please alert me if youknow of any addresses where thesevehicles are parked when theyshould be actively used to combatcrime. You can email me [email protected], orcall or SMS me at 079 955 5335.OWEN SIMONSRetreat

Well wishes for the yearThe past year has indeed been a yearof much hardship for many.

Our communities remained underthe constant siege and threat ofviolence, gangsterism and drugs.

Unemployment, poverty and otherassociated social ills continued toplague our communities like a cancerthat refuses to go into remission.

This letter, however, serves to notonly draw attention to these ongoingchallenges but to highlight the sterlingwork of the true servants of thecommunity in easing the plight of apeople burdened under the yoke ofoppression – albeit domestic violence,women and child abuse, alcoholismand crime.

I want to express my sincere thanksand appreciation to you for all thatyou have done and continue to do forthe community.

Your tenacity, perseverance andresolve to overcome despite the

challenges resonates with sounds ofhope, joy and ultimate triumph.

To all the NGOs, police, neighbour-hood watches, religious communities,civic associations, businesses andindividuals: thank you for yourunselfish commitment in lending ahand to making life better and saferfor someone else.

May 2015 be a year of new begin-nings in which we together continueto display the fortitude that good willalways triumph over evil, justice willprevail over injustice and that despairwill give way to hope and that thathope will propel us into the future.

“Most people who succeed in theface of seemingly impossible condi-tions are people who simply don’tknow how to quit.”

KEVIN SOUTHGATE,Retreat

Lose weight. Quit smoking. Save money.These are some of the NewYear’s resolutions that most

of us have tried (and failed) year in and year out.Maybe we should try a new resolution this year. Some-

thing less selfish, less concerned with howwe look or ourbank balance.

Let 2015 be the year we resolve to care for each other.Let it be the year we resolve to take care of our commu-

nities.All too often we look to the police, council, religious or

community leaders to fix the problems on our doorstep.But the responsibility lies with each and every one of us.

Let’s resolve to be active citizens this year.Report service delivery problems to council as soon as

they take place. And if they are not fixed in a reasonabletime, escalate the complaint. Educate your neighboursnot to damage council property, as it not only delays ser-vice delivery, but also chews up funding that could beused to beautify your neighbourhood.

Let’s resolve to take pride in our homes.If each one of us cleans in front of our homes, the entire

street will be clean. Maintain your home to the best ofyour ability.Don’t standbyandwatchvandalism flourishin our neighbourhoods. Educate those around you aboutthe impacts of littering and dumping.

Let’s resolve to live on safer streets. Report crime – nomatterhowsmall – so that police canbuild accurate statis-tics and allocated resources more efficiently. Form aneighbourhood watch and work with your neighbours tokeep your suburb safe. Patrol your street and ask stran-gers why they are there and if you can assist them.

Our communities belong to us, and if each of us investsin them the returns have the potential to be enormous.

Let’s resolve to make ourselves happier, not by losingweight or quitting a habit, but by creating communitiesin which we feel safe and proud.

‘CHEESECAKE’ PIN-UP

Headed forLas VegasLOUISA STEYL

@LouNotes

Withher bright blue hair and inspired fashi-on, Blaauwberg’s Gabbi Katz is challengingthe stereotypes around beauty.By day, Gabbi is a successful business wo-

man. But away from the workplace, she be-comesTheBlueHairedBetty, her pin-upmo-del persona. With a little help from her sup-porters,Gabihopes tobecome the first SouthAfrican to compete in the Viva Las VegasRockabilly Weekend international pin-upcontest in April.For Gabbi, being a pin-up girl is about a

whole lot more than pretty clothes and po-ses.She describes a modern-day pin-up girl as

a combination of old-school values and thestrong will and mind of a 21st century wo-man – prim and proper with a rebelliousstreak, which she believes is also an apt de-scription of herself.Gabbi made her first foray into the world

of pin-up modelling as a form of artistic ex-pressionwhen shemoved away from perfor-ming on stage.“The ‘cheesecake’ pin-up style of model-

ling fits my quirky and silly personalitywell,” she says.Having always led an alternative lifestyle

within the borders of being a “straight-and-narrow kinda girl”, Gabbi says pin-up mo-delling gave her a place where she felt shebelonged.Pin-up models go hand-in-hand with the

Rockabilly lifestyle, a perfect fit for the “bet-ty” who loves old-school rock ‘n roll music,fashion and the “style and class of this bygo-ne era”.Gabbi says she “truly got into it”when she

started posing for the Milnerton-based clot-hing label Miss Happ, and now she uses herposition in the pin-up community to promo-te the Rockabilly lifestyle and challenge peo-ple to “dare to be different”.She will be attending the Viva Las Vegas

Rockabilly Weekend as the brand ambassa-dor for the brand, who will be showing theirspring/summer range at the Viva Las VegasFashion Show.Since she was going to the festival any-

way, Gabi says she entered the pin-up con-test in a pure “why the heck not” moment.“I was absolutely amazed at the response

and support I received as soon as the an-nouncement of the public vote was made on5 January,” she says.In fact, she’s gained so much support that

she’s in the top six of over 100 contestants.Her goal now is to stay within the top six

during the competition’s public voting stageto guarantee her spot at the Miss Viva LasVegas Finale whichwill be hosted in Las Ve-gas on Saturday 4 April.Gabbi hopes to use the contest to create

awareness for the South African Rockabilly“scene” and to gain exposure for localbrands, bands and businesses.V Readers can help keep Gabbi in the running for thecontest by voting for her under the name The BlueHaired Betty at www.vivalasvegas.net/pin-up-contest.Voting closes on Saturday 31 January. Visit www.face-book.com/thebluehairedbetty for more informationabout Gabbi and her Rockabilly lifestyle.

New innovations in Varisty Cricket include pink balls and tensPink balls, a six that can become a 10 andlosing 5 runswhen awicket falls, are all newinnovations for cricket.Everything you thought T20 cricket is

about, will be be hit out of the park as theinaugural Varsity Cricket season looks tochallenge all the rules of conventional T20cricket.During the six-day jamboree from3 - 8 Feb-

ruary inPotchefstroom, innovations suchasa Power Play Plus Over, Strategy Break andtargets on the side of the field that will yieldten runs if hit, will ramp up the action aseight of South Africa’s top university sides

slog it out to be crowned champions.The Power Play Plus Over can be called

at any time during the batting innings. Thecall can only be made once the bowler is atthe top of his mark for the new over and achange of bowler cannot be made once thePower Play Plus Over has been signalled.All runs scored during this over will be

doubled while any wicket that falls will costthe side five runs.These runs will be added to the extras col-

umn for the next six balls with the runs de-ducted for losing a wicket also deductedfrom the extras column. Extras such as wid-

es and no-balls are also doubled during thePower Play Plus Over.Should a batsman lose his wicket during

this over, he will be out, but the over willcontinue until it is completed.The targets on the side of the field will be

erected between the boundary rope and theperimeter fence on the squareboundaries oneither side. Should a batsman hit these tar-gets he, and the batting team, will be award-ed ten runs. These runs are added to thebats-man’s total.Such innovation will be encouraging at-

tacking play and could see a batsman score

as many as 20 runs off a single ball and willensure that the action never stops.The Strategy Break will be taken after the

tenth over and will allow teammanagementas well as substitute fielders of the bowlingteam onto the field to discuss their approachfor the next nine overs. The batting side willalso be allowed to receivewater froma team-mate.The tournament will also be played with

pink balls. This offers spectators and possi-bly future South African cricket players afirst-hand look at the possible future ofcricket.

Glenthorn wins 10 in a rowJOSEPH PILLAY

Though a bit rusty from the festive breakGlenthorn-Athlone returned to the ac-tion and Saturday and continued their

winning streak by beating VOB 17-3 in aWestern Province softball federation SuperLeague encounter at Turfhall Stadium.

WayneMay’sGlenthorn side sports an un-beaten record of ten victories on the trot.They have beaten Brian Lombard’s (coach)VOB side in three batting innings to capturetheir second victory over VOB in the secondround of the current season’s league cam-paign. Glenthorn dominated thematch fromthe opposition’s errors in the field and allround poor, inept performances in both thepitching and batting departments.

The valuable two pints secured from thisone-sided outing seesGlenthorn on 20 points– four ahead of second placed Falcons (16points) who have all played ten matches.

Nonetheless, VOB did not have enough ofa killer-instinct in their pitching attack.They started off with Meghan Fillmore andoccupied the mound for 2.2 of an innings.

Besides Fillmore being milked for eighthits, she also conceded eight base-on-ballswhile relief pitcher, Kara Dorrington, just

faced two batters and surrendered one hit toLisa Erasmus (1-3).

Therefore Glenthorn were able to scoretheir runs in just two frames – their first bat-ting turn yielded no runs, but in the secondand third they scored ten and seven respec-tively in two merry-go-round batting turnsthat totalled 17 runs and the demolition ofVOB within 90 minutes.

Carly Mulder, who smacked a three bag-ger over centre field topped the batting statswith 3-3, followed by Carla Swanepool (2-2),Danielle Fortune (1-1) and Nicole Fortune(1-2). Her sister, Lauren Mulder, led theGlenthorn attack on the rubber and al-though she just faced 17 batters in three in-nings, the latter earned three strike outswhile conceding five walks and one hit – asingle to Monique Fillmore (1-1).

* Westridge Yankees beat Tantasport 11-1.* St Martin’s beat Kenfac Phillies 11-5.

Meet SA’s first grandmasterIf Kenny Solomon (33) did not choose toplay chess, life could have been very dif-ferent for him.This native of Mitchell’s Plain, who now

lives in Italy, was awarded the title of chessgrandmaster after winning the Africa indi-vidual chess championship in Namibia lastmonth.He is only the second grandmaster in sub-

Saharan Africa after Amon Simutowe ofZambia and the very first South African tohave been awarded this honour.Determined to not become a statistic in a

community where gang culture and drugabuse are rife, Solomon taught himself thegame of chess after reading a book aboutformer world champion Anatoly Karpov.Two years later, Solomon won the nationalunder-16 championship.“I was exposed to gang culture from an

early age,” Solomon said. “I realised that ifI did not createmyown future, Iwouldmere-ly become a pawn in this scene, trapped inthe violent, oppressive cycle of gangsterism.Strong family values and my early interestin chess keptme away from these influencesand compelledme tomake choices aboutmyfate.”Although he currently lives in Italywhere

he competes on the European circuit, Solo-mon always returns to his home town,Mitchells Plain, to give back to the commu-nity and share his knowledge. Along withthe Department of Cultural Affairs andSport (DCAS), Solomon has organised vari-ous exhibitions inwhichhe has both partici-pated and taught youth about the game.“Kenny Solomon is a prime example of the

hero that we would like our youth to lookup to – someonewhomakes thebest of oppor-tunities, and who exceeds all expectations,”said Theuns Botha, Western Cape Ministerof Cultural Affairs and Sport.V Share your thoughts.
