RETREAT TAXI ASSOCIATION
In a safety driveCHEVON BOOYSEN
@ChevonBooysen
In a bid to make travelling safer, the Re-treat Taxi Association (RTA) took it uponthemselves to initiate their own safety
campaign.The campaign was officially launched on
Thursday 5 March at Retreat taxi rank whentaxi rank officials joined on-site vendors indistributing the association's 2015 safety tipscalendar.
Chairperson of the RTA Basil Nagel ex-plains they launched the campaign in twoparts on the day.
During peak times at the taxi rank com-muters were in for a “small treat” as theywere making their way to and from work.
“The purpose of our campaign is to bringawareness to the illegal operations of piratetaxis infiltrating southern suburb taxiroutes that are already assigned to licensedoperators. The recent event earlier in Febru-ary where a woman was attacked and hadto jump out of a moving vehicle onto the M3highway is becoming the norm,” Nagel ex-plains.
Nagel says although the woman was savedby a passerby, the incident could have beenavoided.
“This incident, where an illegal and pirateoperator has been operating on a route al-ready allocated to the Retreat Taxi Associa-tion, is an all-too-common occurrence,” hesays.
Nagel adds that the association has ex-hausted all avenues to have the matter of il-legal operators addressed.
“We have marched to government offices;spoken to transport, traffic and governmentofficials at local and provincial levels; moni-tored and provided feedback to transport au-thorities; and begged, pleaded and demand-ed transport ministers – old and new – totake action.
“We have submitted communication pleasto the premier [Helen Zille]. [There was] nota single response,” he says.
Nagel says even though they met illegalroute invasions with patience, peaceful pro-tests, communicating with commuters,press and government officials, countlessmeetings with law enforcement, traffic au-thorities and following the rules and the taxiregistrars’ code of conduct they still had to“endure five years of route invasions, intim-
idation and death threats from illegal opera-tors.”
“Nevertheless, without the assistance ofpublic, private or government intervention,the RTA has endeavoured to work towardscombating crime on its routes by engagingin discussion with surrounding ratepayerassociations, community police forums andward councillors. We are not taking this sit-ting down,” he says.
Nagel says the RTA is introducing initia-tives to improve commuter safety.
As part of the safety campaign Nagel says
their legal taxis are now easily identifiablewith RTA decals.
“The vehicles have unique numbers foreach vehicle and can be linked to specificdrivers and owners if found to be transgress-ing or reported as off-route.
“We have established an online reportingsystem that has been testing well,” Nagelsays.
He has also encouraged road users andcommuters in the southern suburbs to re-port taxi transgressions to their local policeor to make use of the RTA online complaints
form at www.reta.co.za/routes for RTA vehi-cles or incidents on RTA routes.
“Our association is a public transport ser-vice provider. Our value proposition is sim-ple: we want to move people from point A topoint B, in the most efficient, safest, afforda-ble and reliable manner possible.
“Our commuters are our bread and butter,so we are investing in their safety and hopethat other stakeholders in this industry fol-low suit.”V What are your thoughts? Starting with the word“Post” SMS your views to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY
In a fight for independenceMONIQUE DUVAL
@monique_duval
With limited options for lifelonglearning, many intellectually disa-bled people fight a constant battle
for independence.This month authorities and organisa-
tions like Cape Mental Health are shininga light on the plight of children and adultswith intellectual disabilities (ID) and thechallenges faced when accessing post-school qualifications.
AwarenessMarch is Intellectual Disability Aware-
ness Month.In South Africa and according to a state-
ment by Cape Mental Health pupils with IDhave limited opportunities for lifelonglearning, education and employment oncethey exit the school system.“There are few, if any, post-school qualifi-
cations offered at a suitable level of under-standing, with appropriate training meth-ods and materials, to suit their special edu-cational needs.”The organisation has embarked on a cam-
paign to raise awareness about the equalrights of persons with ID to lifelong learn-ing, education and employment opportuni-ties in the open labour market.
ChallengesAccording to Cape Mental Health spokes-
person, Chanelle Albertyn, pupils with IDface a host of challenges.She says children with IDwho do not par-
ticipate in programmes after school oftensit at home without any stimulation, be-come bored and may be vulnerable to sub-stance abuse and unlawful behaviour.“They remain dependent upon their fami-
lies. That can have a significant impact ontheir self-esteem, as they see others aroundthem transitioning into adulthood and con-tributing to society,” she says.Albertyn further explains pupils with ID
who are medium to high functioning attendLearners with Special Education Needs(LSEN) schools but find it hard to access ac-credited post-school training due to theirlack of academic qualification when theyexit the school system.“They are unable to benefit from Techni-
cal Vocational Education and Training(TVET) and Further Education and Train-ing (FET) Colleges which require an NQFlevel 1 qualification in order to gain admis-sion,” the statement says.Albertyn says one of the biggest challen-
ges is the perception that people with IDhave little or no educational needs, and thatthey cannot be gainfully employed andmake a meaningful contribution to society.
InitiativesConsidering the challenges the organisa-
tion has partnered with organisations inGermany and has researched and investi-
gated best practicemodels inGerman-basedorganisations and institutions. It has devel-oped a draft concept and course outline fora post-school qualification that will changethe lives of youth with intellectual disabili-ty.Cape Mental Health director Ingrid Dan-
iels says with more pupils with ID being ed-ucated there is a greater chance for them toaccess gainful employment and enjoy im-proved livelihoods through economic activ-ity.According to their statement, significant
funding is required to enable them to devel-op and implement a post-school qualifica-tion for pupils with ID.On Friday 6 March provincial social de-
velopment minister Albert Fritz openedThe Open Circle, a newly-established grouphome for adults with intellectual disabili-ties on the grounds of Alexandra Hospitalin Maitland.The group home, which is funded by pro-
vincial government, renders residentialand outpatient services to intellectually dis-abled adults who display challenging be-haviour.
SupportIn their concept document, Cape Mental
Health proposes a three-year post-schoolqualification.In the first year, learners will focus on an
introduction to adulthood and the world ofwork.In the second year they get exposure to
different career options and related skills.In their final year they are provided with
career-specific orientation and preparationrelating to exit opportunities.The document further says the course
will include classroom training and practi-cal work placement in a suitable work envi-ronment.“The course modules will include practi-
cal work skills, individual career develop-ment and guidance, life skills, health andsafety, understanding work and employ-ment, as well as fundamentals such as nu-meracy, literacy and communication,” itsays.Albertyn says the organisation is in need
of funds to develop the course andwelcomesdonations.“The public can help us raise awareness
by liking our Facebook page and sharingour posts,” she adds.V If you would like to help call Cape Mental Healthon 021 447 2416 or visit www.facebook.com/cape-mentalhealth

LAVENDER HILL
Up in armsCHEVON BOOYSEN
@ChevonBooysen
A Lavender Hill structure erected in re-cent months is said to be an “eyesore”to the community.
The open plot on the corner of Blode andGrindal avenues used to be home to a mar-quee tent where church services were held.It has since been taken down to make spacefor a new permanent structure.
Residents in the area are, however, nothappy with the new look on the plot and sayit has to go.
One resident, who asked to remain anon-ymous, says the structure that is being builtlooks “horrible”.
“We residents are extremely upset aboutthis new building that was allowed to bebuilt on this open plot. Previously the plotwas used by a church for services but nowit has been replaced by a horrible brick andblock structure,” he says.
The resident criticises the architects andbuilders of the new structure saying thebuilding could have “been built by a blindman”.
“The windows are all skew and the woodused on the roof is old and rotten. Thisbuilding is in an unacceptable state andshould have never been approved by the au-thorities,” he says.
He adds that he has tried on numerous oc-casions to find out who is responsible forthe building to bring it to their attentionthat the building is not suitable for use.
“The construction began with the con-crete foundation. I am told the building isbuilt with approval of [a church]. However,since then I heard that a private owner isresponsible for this building and was toldhe is dealing with the relevant officials,” headds.
The concerned man says the building isnownot only being used for church servicesbut also for suspicious activities.
“We want the authorities to step in andto take our pleas seriously. We do not wantthis structure in our area,” he says.
Furthermore, the resident says, he ap-proached ward councillor Marita Petersento get answers to “this whole mess”.
“Petersenhas been veryhelpful in this re-gard and, as far as she could, she has triedto assist us. But even she is not getting anyjoy from the City of Cape Town. She hasbeen in contact with them trying to get an-swers but it hasn’t proven fruitful yet. Onecan only draw the conclusion that the poorareas are therefore not considered priorityby the City and that mediocrity should beacceptable to us.”
Another resident, who requested to re-main anonymous, says she does not wantthe structure there at all.
“I heard there are loiterers using thatbuilding for socially [questionable] activi-ties and it’s not acceptable. We need to stopthis before it goes any further. The authori-ties need to give us answers and say who
gave them permission to go ahead with thisstructure,” she says.
Petersen says the structure has been onthe plot since Tuesday 10 February.
According to her, she has raised the issuewith the City of Cape Town before.
“The City is aware of the situation andhas issued a number of notifications to theperson in question, highlighting the contra-ventions that have been identified. Dueprocess needs to be followed in such instan-ces, and if no remedial action is taken, thematter will be referred to a court of law,”she says.
Petersen says she has been in regularcommunication with the community on theconcerns they have raised and has visitedthe site. “I have been liaising directly withthe City officials involved, who are keepingme abreast of the situation and are doingeverythingwithin theirmandate to addressthe matter. I forwarded the complainants’communication to the Planning and Build-ing Development Management Departmentand they have provided a response dealingwith the issues raised.”
Petersen adds a building inspector alsoaddressed the issues with the builder onsite. She says the structure is currently be-ingused as a place ofworship and the ownerhasbeen informed that the structure cannotbe used for anything else.
“The building inspector has informed theowner that the structure may not be usedfor anything other than what was appliedfor andapproved, namely a residential unit,and that the structure may not be accessedby the public as it is still under construc-tion.”
Residents also complained about suspi-cious activities on the plot and these com-plaints were raised with Petersen.
“The only suspicious activities reportedto me was the fact that gangsters would usethe tent then and the building now to hidewhen there are shootings and residents re-ported this to police but responses to thiswere rather poor.”
Petersen says residents who have com-plained about then “unsightly building”must understand that the building is incom-plete.
“At this stage the construction work isnot complete and therefore it would seemunsightly.”
Petersen says she has approached theLavender Hill Civic Association to act as amediator “to obtain a clear directive as towhat the community as a whole reallyfeels.”
The City would only confirm a plan fora single residential dwelling was approvedon Tuesday 13 January.
“A property with this zoning can be usedfor a place of worship, provided council’sconsent has been obtained.
“A consent use application is currentlybeing processed for this property.”V What are your thoughts? Starting with the word“Post”, SMS your views to 32516. SMSes cost R1.
Church service is ‘too loud’Residents of Green Valley Close in Elfindaleare “tired of being subjected to ear-piercingscreeching and preaching”.
This is as a result of open air church servi-ces being held in the informal settlement DieGatjie.
One resident, who requested to remainanonymous for fear of victimisation, says thechurch services are causing “more pain thanhealing”.
“The most recent service that was held inDie Gatjie was from Sunday 15 to Wednesday18 February and all you could hear wasscreeching and shouting over the sound sys-tem,” he says.
The resident, who says he does not have aproblem with church-goers or church servi-ces, says it does become a problem when itimpacts negatively on the surrounding are-as.
“They have these church services from18:00 until 22:00. To listen to this all nightwhen you’re trying to get sleep is of coursea concern. This is noise pollution,” he adds.
The resident says he has is unhappy be-cause the religious leaders never informneighbouring communities of the intentionto host such services.
“Surely when they carry on until that timeat night they should have permission froman authority for a public gathering. We havehowever never been informed prior to theseservices.”
He adds this has been brought to the atten-tion of the police but to no avail.
“We have lodged complaints telephonical-ly. This was done by a number of residentsat both the Diep River Police Station who in-formed us to call Steenberg Police Station.Steenberg police only has one van for visiblepolicing and at the time they were busy withgang violence,” says the resident.
City of Cape Town events director TeralCullen says a permit is required for any tem-porary events.
“For long-term activities, theymust obtainthe relevant permissions from the City’sProperty Management Department (in thecase of City-owned land) and the City’s Plan-ning and Building Development Manage-ment Department in terms of land use,” Cul-len says.
Residents are encouraged to report any by-law infringements on 021 596 1999.V What are your thoughts? Starting with the word“Post”, SMS your views to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

Solomons, Faiez Basardien, Ash-ley Jacobs andSchalkDamonsped-alled their way to their dreams atexactly 08:02 on Sunday at the startline in the CBD “with one heart”.The cycle tour, though, wasn’t
without its hiccups for the youngcyclists.Damons experienced a puncture
while completing the shortenedroute.“Itwas so excitingalthough Ihad
some ups and downs. I had a punc-ture at around 30km. I stopped totry and fix it but it didn’t hold soI just rode the rest of the route anyway,” he says.Damons says he loved the atmos-
phere and enjoyed being a part ofthe cycle tour.Solomons says the new experi-
ence was “wonderful”.“It was a wonderful experience
although I did get a little nervousononeof the downhillswhen fastercyclists came speeding pastme andthey were so close,” he says.Even with the curveballs swung
at the group of cyclists, theyshowed determination and perse-verance.Basardien says he pulled a ham-
string while climbing his last hill.“But I carried on riding and be-
lieve for my first [race] I did a goodtime. I put in effort and it paid off.I am satisfied with my time andrace,” he says.Jacobs says the route was “an
easy ride”.“I loved every minute of the at-
mosphere and being part of theevent.”Jacobs had an unofficial finish-
ing time of 1 hour 30 minutes. Thewinning time of the first cyclistover the line was 1 hour 1 minute.
Things, however, did not go aseasy for Dyson as he, too, had apuncture on the route.“Although I stopped andwe tried
to fix it, I couldn’t but I was deter-mined to finish the race and getmymedal so I walked, pushing mybike, for the last few kilometres. Iam so proud that I finished andloved the experience. I can’twait torace again,” he says.The five young men from the
heart of Lavender Hill represented
theVirginActiveDevelopmentCy-cling team.In late 2014,VirginActive’sBusi-
ness As a Force for Good team se-lected the five pupils from a groupof avid cyclists from Lavender HillSecondary School.The group was selected for their
passion for the sport, their commit-ment to training and potentialleadership skills.The group of men did not come
without their own accounts of
hardship and challenges they facein their community.After a few weeks in training,
Dysonwas stabbed in his armwitha screwdriver and was robbed ofhis cellphone andnewpair of train-er takkies.In spite of these challenges the
group is ready move on to greaterheights.The teamwill be participating in
the forthcomingWestern Provincetrials at Killarney and will also bepart of a relay team at the Discov-ery World Triathlon next month.The opportunities for the young
men beyond cycling include con-tinued mentorship and having apositive influence on the widercommunity and fellowpupils at theschool.Wesley Noble, who heads up
Business as a Force for Good andtrained and mentored the fiveboys, says he is proud of the group.“The shortened Cape Town Cy-
cle Tour did nothing to dampentheir spirit or the enthusiasm.They all had excellent times,” No-ble says.He adds the purpose of the pro-
gramme goes “way beyond sport-ing events and competitions”.“The real goal is to provide alter-
natives for vulnerable youths fromimpoverished communities to ex-plore andexperience theworld out-side of their difficult lives.“We really feel we have inspired
these young men through the de-velopment cycling programme toachieve great things andwewill bewith them all the way.”

Mystery plant is ‘a bromeliad’A reader named Jenny recentlyrequested that People’s Post readershelp her identify a plant that isgrowing in her friend’s garden in FishHoek (24 February).
She described it as follows: the outer“leaves” are pink and the little flowerson the inside are yellow.
The leaves are fleshy with sharpspikes along the edges, and the flowers(pink parts) seem to be hidden under-neath.People’s Post has received the
following responses from readers:. The picture of a flower growing in
a Fish Hoek garden is a BilbergiaNutans, commonly called Queen’sTears. It is one variety of bromeliads,a species of epiphytic plants, whichare forest growing plants and get theirnutrition from leaves. This falls intothe cup formed by the leaves and rotin the water trapped by the cup. Theyonly flower once, but produce sideshoots that will flower when they arebig enough. The parent plant willeventually die back. – Amory Borwick. Another reader who called agrees it
is a Queen’s Tear..An anonymous reader who called
People’s Post says it is a pineappleplant and they come from the bromeli-ad family. However, she says, it is nota Queen’s Tear.. This is a Bilbergia. I have three
pots crowded with them in Bergvliet. –Pat. The flower is a Bilbergia nutans. It
is of the epiphytic bromeliad, whichgrows in Brazil, Paraguay, Argentinaand Uruguay.
The ‘leaves’ referred to in thepicture, are, in fact, its bracts. It is adistant relative of the ineapple (brome-liaceae family). – Yvonne Misplon. It is a Beschorneria yuccoides, a
species of succulent plants belongingto the family Asparagaceae, subfamilyAgavoideae. – Johan du Plooy, Scape-man Landscaping. The plant is a type of Bilbergia,
which belongs to the bromeliad family.I do not know exactly which one, thatis its variety name. – GeraldineWalden. The flower comes from a family of
plants known as urn plant or bromeli-ads which originates from SouthAmerica and a small section intropical Africa. They are monocotyle-dons and interestingly the pineapplebelongs to the bromeliad family. Theyare often called urn plants due to theirability to hold water like an urn. Thespecies in question that the readerwanted identified is called Queen’sTears (bilbergia nutans). –- LucindaHoldridge, Constantia Hills

Your SMSesCrime operations. It is good to see that something is
being done. It is a start, now we need toget after the big guys. Keep it up!. I feel armed forces such as the army
should be used in communities underthreat. Army bases should be set up 24/7in such communities.
I don’t see why our president andmembers of parliament receive so muchsecurity, but innocent people sufferdaily without the support of govern-ment.
Yet, we have to pay taxes. I only hopethat these criminals don’t get bail. Keepup the good work and keep the raidscoming to make our communities safe.. No wonder the poor response at the
Ottery protest. Learn from Parkwood.Keep politics out. Crime affects every-
one, so for us to support we cannotstand with a banner. Let’s do thingscollectively and for no gain. – Parkwoodresident. Get rid of the merchants and drug
dealers in all communities.. It would be a perfect plan/idea to
microchip those drug dealers and theirassistants who help sell their drugs.Then suspects should get coded with themicrochips per their area/suburb. Whenthose guys are caught it will be easy toidentify where they operate from and itwill be easier to arrest them.. Fantastic work (the past weekend). I
am longing for these fantastic operationsto happen weekly. Bring back the olddays. Great stuff!. The arrests are all good. But I live
opposite a drug dealer in 8th Avenue,Lotus River. I only saw the police drivepast once the Saturday. What is so goodabout the arrests? Tomorrow the crimi-
nals walk free.. All well and good, but do the police
know where Ninth Avenue is? There isvery little presence of them in thisstreet.. The police just is not interested when
you call. You wait 10 minutes beforesomeone finally answers the phone.
Last week I phoned twice with abso-lutely no response from the police.Thugs were sitting on the corner of StBernard and St Bonaventure streets,openly smoking dagga and targetingpeople going to the Somalian shop. Iphoned the police, no response. The nextday they robbed the truck deliveringbread at the four-way store then sat onthe corner stopping the taxis and askingfor money. I phoned again and no vanhas come out. It is time the communitystands together to rid our society of thisevil that wants to take over.
Major funders of grassroots programmes should ques-tion whether they’re basing decisions of aid on pre-1994 perceptions. The noble National Student Fi-
nancial Aid Scheme has been hamstrung by corruption.And while private donors continue to fill the gap, most
of the funding goes to the same schools. It looks good onthe corporate CSI budget for government photo opportuni-ties to help those perceived to be in need. But how do youknow if tangible needs are being met? These perceptionsare legion and feed the inequalities which are perpetuatedthrough a system of skewed decision-making in education,employment and funding. Of course many citizens remaintrapped by the barbed wire set by apartheid.
And, yet, are some of us more equal than others?How long do post-apartheid generations have to live in
the shadow of labels, such as “disadvantaged” or “previ-ously disadvantaged”? It is rich to assume all children at-tending previously advantaged schools happen to be theoffspring of well-to-do parents. Not every white child isrich. Not every black child is poor. These are inconvenienttruths. It would behove donors to launch investigations in-to genuine need and come face to face with ground levelreality. But that would require bravery, commitment andcourage – and getting out of multi-level plush offices.
It would surprise the corporate decision-makers to findthe leafy suburbs have people who are battling to makeendsmeet in this depressed economy.Andmanywhopleadpoverty while living in townships have far more disposa-ble income than is declared.
It is time to act on conviction. This would be a step to-wards real equality in this new South Africa.
Without authentic action our country will not move intoa position of equal distribution of wealth. We will not builda non-racial nation with a true middle-class to oil thewheels of the economy. And other nations will continuewooing our sharp minds with offers neither governmentnor the private sector could compete with.
Atbest,we canonlyhope for a threadypulse on theheart-beat of our economy.

SAFETY
New device to detect firesNICOLE MCCAIN
@nickymccain
A Salt River company has made savinglives its business.
And now the Lumkani fire detectiondevice has the company competing for a $1mprize, after winning the local rounds of a so-cial entrepreneurial competition.
The social enterprise firm has created afire detection device aimed at shackdwell-ers, which detects an increase in heat in-stead of smoke.
Lumkani’s vision is to mitigate the loss oflife and property caused by dangerous firesoccurring in informal settlements, says fi-nancial director David Gluckman.
“We wish to increase the safety and securi-ty of millions, if not hundreds of millions,of people across the globe who live at riskof slum fires,” he says.
The product was born after a devastatingfire in Khayelitsha on New Year’s Day in2013.
The blaze, which displaced thousands ofpeople, was a catalyst for research and devel-opment, Gluckman says.
“This early warning detection system hasits roots in an engineering honours thesis ofFrancois Petousis at UCT.
This tragic event brought together a mul-tidisciplinary team that would bring theoryinto reality to help mitigate the loss of lifeand property associated with the rampantspread of shack fires,” he says.
The device costs R120 and the battery willlast between one and two years.
Lumkani uses heat detection technologywhich is proved to be most effective at sens-ing fires in already smoky environments,Gluckman explains.
“The in-shack heat detector will ringwhen a fire is detected enabling the familyin the home to respond proactively and pos-
sibly extinguish the fire,” he says.If this is not the case, the device will then
trigger all devices within a 100m range of it-self, using transmission technology, to cre-ate a community-wide alert.
“This will serve to proactively alert peopleof the danger to either assist in containingthe fire, or saving family members and be-longings,” he says.
“The critical challenge we want to addressis both the personal safety aspect of one’s
family in the home as well as the spread ofthe fire to the surrounding community.”
Lumkani has now won $50 000 in fundingand will join 20 other social entrepreneursfrom around the world in Silicon Valley, Cal-ifornia, for a mentorship programme as partof the inaugural Chivas Regal Win The RightWay Campaign.
It is an international competition whichhas attracted the world’s brightest promis-ingly talented social entrepreneurs.
Unique challen-ges
The mentor-ship programme will include mentoring ses-sions by various business moguls, with vis-its to leading tech companies, and pitchingfor the ultimate prize to take their businessto the next level – a portion of $1m in fund-ing.
Gluckman says the company faces uniquechallenges, as there is little room for error.
“We’re not dealing with a mobile app thattells you how many calories you burn inyour sleep,” he says.
“We are potentially dealing with life anddeath and ‘failure’ in our case can come ata very high price – trust.”
The company sold 850 devices between itslaunch in November last year and the endof January and is already recording success-es.
“Lumkani has already detected two fireswhich the community has verified wouldhave displaced many people, had the net-work effect of the devices not taken placeand created a community-wide response tothe fire,” he says.
Multi-disciplinary approachBut it’s the company’s team that holds the
secret to their success, Gluckman believes.“What stands out about Lumkani is that
we are about business and [social] impact –where both grow from the other at a similarrate. Our core strength is our multidisciplin-ary team which promotes a multi-stakehold-er approach to growth and development,” hesays.
“We have three engineers within the team,a social change practitioner, entrepreneursand an industrial designer. We have a recipeof excellent people.”V Share your thoughts on this device. Starting withthe words “Post” and “device”, SMS to 32516.

NEW WATERS
The sky is thelimit for CanLOUISA STEYL
@LouNotes
Timebomb, the first single off Can Sky-lark’s new EP, Overdrive, has alreadycharted on Heart 104.9fm and received
airplay on commercial radio stations in theUnited States.This isn’t surprising, though, when you
consider that the hit was written by multi-platinum award-winning songwriter PamSheyne.Can travelled to Los Angeles, America,
last year to work with Pam who is bestknown for her work with pop heavyweightslike Christina Aguilera, Cyndi Lauper andElton John. In fact, Pam was the writer be-hindChristina’s famousGenie inabottleandlocal listeners will also already have heardher work in the song Lifeline she wrote forElvis Blue.It was Can’s vocal coach who set her up
with Pam and “before I knew it, I was board-ing a plane and on my way to California”.The song is a bit of a collaborative effort andCan says: “We just went into studio and Ti-mebomb was born.”Overdrive, and with it, Timebomb, marks
a change in music direction for Can.“I’m very excited because I’m venturing
into uncharted waters,” she says. Can re-leased her first album, Pure, in 2012. Thistime around, though, she’s being a littlemore adventurous with her sound.She says she decided to fuse the integrity
of “the old Can Skylark”, in terms of vocalability and her stage performances, with amore “programmed” and edgy sound.“It’s a young and fresh kind of sound.”
The release of Overdrive comes just a fewmonths after Can released another chart-topping track, So high, which she wrote andrecorded with SA Idols musical director RJBenjamin.The song was already a bit more pop-driv-
en than her usual soulful sound.“Aswith any and everything in life, evolu-
tion takes place. Therefore, as an artist, Ifirmly believe in evolving and not to ever godown as a copy of myself.”Overdrive is a taste of what’s to come from
Can when she releases her new full-lengthalbum later in the year.In themeantime, she hopes to tour nation-
ally and internationally and directs fans toher Facebook page to stay up to date withher performance dates and plans.V Visit www.peoplespost.co.za to see some of thehighlights from Can’s Overdrive launch show at theRoxy Revue Bar.

International TradeAbout 90% of world trade is carried by the international shipping industry. Without shipping, the import /export of affordable food and goods would not be possible (half the world would starve and the other halfwould freeze).International Trade and Logistics is a dynamic and exciting field. It is a field that will only develop furtherinto the future as nations compete against each other to manufacture and distribute their commoditiescheaper.Outcomes of this program include the ability to understand and apply the basics of supply on demand,absolute and comparative advantage and the need for international trade. Learners will be able todemonstrate an understanding of the basic philosophy of international trade agreements and the differentmodes of transport.

SHIFAAN RYKLIEF
Cape Town All Stars continue to climbthe NFD table, while Milano Uniteddropped points at this weekend’s NFD
encounters.Milano United continue to struggle at
home and failed to secure maximum pointsagainst Baroka FC, despite taking a two-goallead. Eezy My Kinnes looked the more vi-brant side in the early stages of the match,and ultimately took the lead in the 20th min-ute through Ganief Stellenboom, followinga scramble inside the 18-yard area.
Four minutes later, the visitors thoughtthey had levelled matters, but Hlabane Ku-tumela’s effort was ruled out as offside.
Baroka found their confidence late intothe opening half, and once they did, they cre-ated a number of opportunities of their own,but were denied by the safe hands of goal-keeper Lee Langeveldt. The Kinnes made it2-0 in the opening minute of the second peri-od when Deniro Stanley caught the visitorssleeping at the back. However, in the 62ndminute, Irvin Shibure gave his side a lifelinewhen he pulled one back from a free header
inside the danger area.Things only got worse for the hosts when
defender Chad Robertson got shown astraight red for an off-the-ball incident.
Baroka took full advantage of the extraman on the field, and did extremely well tohold onto possession and stroked the ballaround beautifully in search of the equali-zer.

A group of about 20 friends belonging todifferent running clubs in theWesternCape, will be ‘Chafing for Dreams’ dur-
ing the upcoming Old Mutual Two OceansHalf marathon (Omtom).“We decided to run in aid of a community-
based organisation in appreciation of thecommunity’s involvement in supportingroad runners when we are participating inroad races – whether it is by cheering us onor doingduty atwater stations on the route,”says Amorett Truebody, one of themembersof Chafing for Dreams.“TheOmtommakes provision for running
for a specific charity, but we decided to se-lect a charitable organisationwithin our im-poverished community with its scarce re-sources.“But before we selected the beneficiary of
our charity initiative, we decided on a namefor our group of running friends.Aftermuchdiscussion we decided on Chafing forDreams. It actually has a two-fold signifi-cance for us.We chose chafing becausemostof us only started with road running a yearor two ago. So, this half marathonwill causea lot of chafing and inconvenience to uswhile running, but we are prepared to sufferand endure discomfort for a worthy cause.Furthermore, we added the word dreams,because with limited resources community
organisations find it difficult to realise theirdreams or achieve items on their wishlists.By running for aworthy cause,we can assista community-based organisation in realis-ing some of their dreams. Yes, we will bechafing for dreams,” says TruebodyTheir beneficiary is Sherwood Park Spe-
cial Care Centre for kids suffering from se-vere mental disorders, trying to instil somedignity in these kids who are many timesforgotten by society at large. The centre isfounded on Islamic principles, but their loveand compassion is showered unselfishly ontheir 50 learners from various religiousbackgrounds.“We will be running the Old Mutual Two
Oceans Half marathon on Saturday 4 April,and each one of uswant to be sponsoredwithR50 for each completed kilometre. The ideais not to compete against other runners, butto complete the Omtom journey and there-after buying essential equipment that can beused to the advantage of the learners at Sher-wood Park. Anyone can sponsor uswith anyamount of kilometres,” he says.Contact the secretary, Ruschda Abra-
hams, on 082 389 4177 or visit their FacebookPage, Chafing for Dreams or send an emailto [email protected] for moredetails on how to be part of this unique ven-ture.
