The City of Cape Town’s enforcement staff confiscated almost 16 796 bottles of alcohol from beachgoers, a marked increase in the volume of alcohol seized compared with the same period last year, which saw 10 280 bot- tles confiscated. Nearly 40% of all confiscations took place in the City’s Area East, which covers beach- es between Gordon’s Bay and Monwabisi. Over 6 600 bottles were confiscated from beachgoers in this area. Beachgoers in Sea Point and the beaches from Hout Bay to Muizenberg had 5 400 bot- tles confiscated. Visitors to beaches from Strandfontein to Wolfgat accounted for just over 2 500 bottles. The possession and consumption of alco- hol on beach areas is not allowed and offend- ers can get a R500 fine, says JP Smith, mayor- al committee member for safety and securi- ty. “The rate of alcohol confiscations is sim- ply astounding. It’s no secret that alcohol is not allowed on our beaches and the fact that so many people continue to do it, speaks vol- umes about their lack of regard for the law and their fellow residents,” he says. Over a dozen drowning incidents took place on local beaches, compared to only three last year, says Richard Bosman, the City’s executive director of safety and secu- rity. “The number of drowning incidents is ex- tremely disconcerting. To be fair, the beach- es have been much busier than usual, but this is not a statistic that sits well with us,” he says. “We have noticed that people are visiting beaches after hours when lifeguards have left for the day and unfortunately there have also been a number of incidents where bath- ers have ignored safety warnings and gone swimming in unsafe areas. Drinking on the beaches and unattended minors also played a role,” he says. Soaring temperatures have seen an in- crease in the number of beachgoers through- out the season, says Bosman. “We usually see a massive spike in visitor numbers to the beaches on priority days like the Day of Goodwill and New Year’s Day, but this season the numbers were consistently high because of the hot weather and also the extended holiday weekends.” Elsewhere, enforcement agencies and oth- er City departments dealt with a raft of events, including New Year’s Eve celebra- tions, the Newlands cricket test and the Klopse and Cape Malay Choir events. “I think that many people don’t realise the intensity of the holiday season and the de- mands placed on staff, infrastructure and other resources. For example, we had to re- unite 259 children with their families on a single day – one of whom was separated from his mother for four hours. “But we have learnt to deal with issues of this nature and, overall, we coped extremely well under very trying circumstances,” he says. Over 16 000 bottles of alcohol were confiscated from beachgoers over the festive season. PHOTO: SAMANTHA LEE

Patients try out horse playMove over, man’s best friend. There’s a

new animal bringing comfort and treat-ment to patients, specifically individualswith mental health problems.Equine assisted psychotherapy (EAP) is

being piloted at Valkenberg hospital.Six male forensic patients, mainly with a

diagnosis of schizophrenia, have been se-lected for the pilot, says Nafisa Abdulla,chief occupational therapist at ValkenbergHospital.“These patients were socially withdrawn

and did not engage spontaneously, they hadno major cognitive deficits and some ofthem have a history of aggressive behav-iour,” she says.Over an eight week period, patients are

able to interact with the horses and partici-pate in therapeutic exercises via groomingor setting out obstacles, either in pairs orin groups. “The aim of the pilot project isto improve the participants’ ability to workand function in a group, decrease irritabili-ty and aggressive behaviour, while improv-ing interpersonal and social skills. Al-thoughminor, my team and I have seen dis-tinctive improvements in the selectedpatients during the course of the pro-gramme,” says Abdulla.With similar social and responsivebehav-

iour to humans, horses have been noted tobe a hugely beneficial mechanism in thera-py sessions for individuals with a varietyof emotional and mental health issues, saysFiona Bromfield, a trustee at the EquinoxTrust.The Trust is a registered non-governmen-

tal organisation (NGO) that specialises inEAP and equine assisted therapy (EAT).Although there are many forms of EAT,

EAP specifically focuses on the emotionaland mental health of participants.“EAP is an innovative and creative meth-

od for addressing a wide range of therapeu-tic and emotional needs in individuals. It isa short-term, collaborative effort between amental health professional and a horse pro-fessional. Strategic activities are estab-lished for the participant to partake in withthe horse, excluding riding,” explainsBromfield.Although animal-assisted therapy isn’t

uncommon,horses respondandreact differ-ently to other animals, she explains.Because horses are herd and prey ani-

mals, they are highly attuned to changes innon-verbal communication in order tomaintain the safety of the herd.

Horse language“Horses are able to accurately assess the

state of being of an individual and commu-nicate it non-verbally. Thus, these animalsmake great companions for psychotherapy,because they can mirror and instantly re-spond to human behaviour. There’s also ahealing bond that can develop between hu-mans and horses. EAPutilises this relation-ship with the horse as a tool tomirror a par-ticipant’s experiences and facilitate changeand development. Participants are able tocompare their experiences with the horsesto their real-life experiences.”Bromfield says unlike traditional talk

therapy, EAP is a unique method which en-ables participants to learn about them-selves while they interact with the horse.The observed feelings, behaviours and

patterns are discussed.“EAP is unique in that it does not require

clients to ride or get on to the horses; in-stead, clients are presentedwith semi-struc-tured tasks, such as to catch and halter thehorse, move it around and get the horse towalk through and over obstacles. It is theinterpretations that participants assign tothe interactions with the horses that pro-vide vehicles for making therapeutic im-provements,” she explains.The therapist, in turn, takes the partici-

pants’ interpretations from their horse in-teractions and crafts metaphors, which areused during and after the therapy sessionsto help participants with developing and re-trieving emotional and behavioural re-sponses.

Interpretation“Thismetaphorical process is self-reflect-

ive, encouraging participants to develop in-sight and supporting the identification andexpression of thoughts, behaviour and emo-tions. It is the stories which emerge fromthese metaphors that enable our pro-grammes to have a lasting impact and ena-ble the client to take what he learns wheninteracting with these horses back to hislife,” she says.The process engages participants on a

physical, mental and emotional level simul-taneously, Bromfield says.“As humans we remember 20% of what

wehear, 50%ofwhatwe see and80%ofwhatwe do; thus, our actions are the reasons ex-periential learning is so effective.”The Equinox Trust team hasworkedwith

a variety of individuals, including children,families, recovering addicts, abusedwomenand individuals looking for an alternativeto traditional therapies.

Equine therapy is being piloted at Valkenberg hospital. Here are Nafisa Abdulla, chief occupational therapist at Valkenberg, Fiona Bromfield,trustee at the Equinox Trust, Dr Marc Roffey, psychiatrist at Valkenberg, Noeline Nune, occupational therapy technician at Valkenberg, RowdahHawtrey, senior occupational therapist at Valkenberg, and Sarah Garland, trustee at the Equinox Trust.

She follows ahealthy lifestyle without alcohol ortobacco. Her family and friends hope tohave her around for many more years tocome.

‘Train here for the Olympics, kids’The next gold medallist swimmer could

come from Retreat or Lavender Hill.Thiswas the sentiment ofmayor Patricia

de Lille at the reopening of the Retreatswimming pool in December.De Lille said: “Our young children have

the ability and recourses here to becomegood, strong swimmers and if they trainhard, they cancompete in competitions andhopefully represent South Africa at theOlympics one day. I want to encourage es-pecially the young children: have funswimming here, but use the programmeswe have here to improve your swimmingskills and soon you could be on your wayto being a professional swimmer.”The pool was openedwithout a roof, after

the construction process had been plaguedwith problems.People’s Postpreviously reported that the

swimming pool construction was expectedto be completed by the end of November(“Summer splash promise”, 30 September2015).In May 2014, the City of Cape Town ap-

pointed a contractor to make the pool moreaccessible by awarding a tender for the con-structionof a roof to transformthepool intoa world-class facility.The building process faced delays due to

the failure by the contractor to stick to con-struction timelines. The contract has sincebeen terminated, after the consulting teamnoted that somework completedby the con-tractor did not meet the required standardof work as specified by the engineer, Belin-daWalker, mayoral committeemember forcommunity services and special projects,previously told People’s Post.The engineer issued the contractor with

an instruction for repair works to the col-umns before the installation of the roofsheeting could commence. The roof clad-ding is still outstanding, as well as someother work that needs to be completed oncethe roof cladding is in place.The roof was meant to be completed be-

fore the start of the summer season,DeLillesaid at the opening.“The City was forced to follow the neces-

sary procedure for the cancellation of thecontract when it became clear that the roofwould not to be completed in time for thesummer holidays. A lot of the work on theroof stills needs to be completed and we areappointing a new contractor to completethe roof,” she said.The process to appoint a new contractor

to complete the projectmust follow the nor-

mal procurement process and the depart-ment is finalising this appointment.This will mean that the enclosure of this

pool will only be completed this year.The remainder of thework on the roofwill

start in April after the summer season.The cost of the pool project, including con-

sultancy fees, amounts to about R7.4m.

Mayor Patricia de Lille reopened the Retreatswimming pool in December, following months ofdelays in the renovation of the facility.

The roof of the Retreat swimming pool will be completed this year,after the City awards the tender to a new contractor. The pool hasbeen checked to ensure the safety of swimmers in the interim.

CASTLE OF GOOD HOPE

Celebrate 350 ‘with balance’NICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Three hundred and fifty years ago, thefirst cornerstone of the Castle of Good

Hope was laid.Built by the Dutch East India Company,

which established a refreshment station inthe Cape to cater to the trade route betweenthe Netherlands and Indonesia, the Castleis the oldest existing colonial building inSouth Africa. It replaced an older fort, con-structed from clay and timber, built by Janvan Riebeeck upon his arrival.A recent ceremony to commemorate the

laying of the first cornerstone also celebrat-ed the history of the Castle.In those 350 years the stronghold has seen

many transitions, occupations and battles,says Calvyn Gilfellan, CEO of the CastleControl Board.“Since there was a river nearby and Van

Riebeeck’s fort 100m away, there wouldhave been a Khoi community living on landthat would have had grazing, water holes,indigenous forest, small game and what istoday known as coastal fynbos,” he ex-plains.“The area where the Castle is today was

not simply an open, unoccupied naturalpiece of land just waiting for the Dutch EastIndia Company to build the Castle on.”With the Castle built on land used by in-

digenous people, the commemoration mustpay homage to those who were “dispos-sessed from their land, marginalised, de-stroyed and treated as third-class citizens inthe land of their birth”, says Gilfellan.“However, the contributions of theDutch,

English and other Europeans will not be de-nied at all; it is simply a matter of balance.”Onceaplaceassociatedwith slavery, pris-

oners and torture, the Castle is now a place

all South Africans can relate to, says Gilfel-lan.“All people must be able to feel welcome

and associatewith the Castle and its history– good, bad or ugly. For instance, Robben Is-land has been a place of banishment, incar-ceration and pain – but people want to gothere. We want the same for the Castle,” hesays.“It must move from a place of pain, exclu-

sion and persecution to one that is inclu-sive, reconciliatory, healing and education-al.”The Castle was originally the headquar-

ters of the Dutch East India Company andthen became the seat of the Dutch colonialpower.“After that theBritish tookoverandruled

for a short while and then it then fell backinto Dutch (Batavian) hands.”The British took power again and ruled

until the establishment of the SouthAfrican

Union in 1910.“The Castle then became the military

headquarters of the defence force untilabout 20 years ago. Today it is a well-re-nowned heritage site and tourist attrac-tion,” he says.The Castle currently houses four muse-

ums, hosts indigenous language classes,skills development classes and had almost170 000 visitors last year.The Castle is currently undergoing a

R108m facelift. The project is due to be com-pleted in September next year.The seven buildings within the Castle

walls will be repainted and have new car-pentry installed. The deteriorated water-proofing on the roofs and ramparts will bereplaced and the stone moat walls andbanks will be repaired. The project also in-cludes the refurbishment ofmurals, renova-tions to theDolphinPool and specialist plas-ter repairs.

Win Pepschoolwear incompetitionRetailer Pep, which has 70% of the schoolshoemarket andover 57%of the school uni-formmarket in SouthAfrica, says it is com-mitted to finding ways to ease the increas-ing economic difficulty for its customers,who are the first to feel the strain of risingprices of fuel, electricity and food.“Through our research over the years,

one message that has been consistent fromour customers is that their children’s edu-cation takes priority,” explains NobesuthuTom, Pep’s marketing director. “They willoften compromise onother things to pay forschool fees, transport to school as well asschoolwear and stationery.”Pep has negotiated with its manufactur-

Schools in the City’s Metro South districthave been congratulated after notable

increases in their matric pass rates.Ten out of 16 schools in the Mitchell’s

Plain area saw improvements in the num-ber of matriculants passing, as well as in-creases in the pass rate. The average passrate in the area increased by nearly 10 per-centage points. In 2014 schools achieved anaverage pass rate of 76.3% and last yearachieved an 85% pass rate.

Lentegeur High achieved an 84.3% passrate, up 16 percentage points from 2014.Rocklands Secondary achieved a 90.7% passrate after 2014’s 85.6%. Cedar Secondary ob-tained an 81.4% pass rate after 66.8% in theprevious year.

Other schools in the district also showedimproved results, with Lavender Hill Sec-ondary achieving an 83.8% pass rate, betterthan the previous year’s 74.6%.

South Peninsula High improved from95.8% to 98% and Simon’s Town High im-proved from 87.7% in 2014 to 93.3%.

Wynberg Secondary achieved 87.4%, alsobetter than the previous year’s 79.6%.

However, provincial education ministerDebbie Schäfer says it is important to en-sure the quality of passes.

“Given the many challenges our educa-tion system faces, improving the quality ofeducation is only possible through sus-tained interventions in our schools and thehard work of the matrics, their teachers anddistrict officials. It is a multi-year process.

“We are pleased that this effort is reapingresults,” she says.

There is also growth in the number of can-didates writing and passing Mathematicsand Physical Science in the province.

Last year a record number of almost13 000 matriculants passed Mathematics,compared to 11 000 in 2014. The pass ratewas 74.9%.

In Physical Science, the numbers passingincreased from 11 000 in 2014 to 12 000. Phys-ical Science candidates achieved a 73.3%pass rate.

Great emphasis is also placed on ensuringpupils stay in school for as long as possible.

“We are very encouraged by the improve-ment in our rate of retention over the pastfive years. Last year the Western Cape yetagain managed to increase our retentionrate from 63.8% in 2014 to 66.8%,” she says.

A dripping tap could waste closeto 100F of water a day.

A recent heatwave, coupledwithother factors, could see further wa-ter restrictions being implementedin the city.Since the start of the new year,

level 2 water restrictions havebeen in place.This will result in price adapta-

tions linked to the 10% reductionin consumption by residents. Thismeans that 10% less water used ina month will cost the same as theprevious water bill. But if resi-dents use the same amount of wa-ter as before, they will be chargedmore than previously.If a resident uses 24kF of water

in a month this will cost themR294.62 under level 1 conditions.Under level 2 conditions, 10% lesswater (21.6kF) will cost about thismuch. The same amount of waterwill now cost R344.75.Residents are therefore urged to

conserve water.Sewage charges will also be af-

fected as they are calculated as be-ing 70% of total water used on theproperty up to a maximum of3500F.This is to further encourage wa-

ter savings, but also to cover thefixed costs necessary to continueproviding thewater and sanitationservice.

Additional restrictions for allresidents. Watering (with drinking waterfrommunicipal supply) of gardens,flower beds, sports fields, parks,lawns and other open spaces are al-lowed only on Tuesdays, Thurs-days and Saturdays for a maxi-mum of one hour per property, ei-

Resi-dents making use of boreholes orother sources are not exempt fromthis.. When watering gardens, parks,open spaces, etc. with alternativewater resources (e.g. boreholes,well-points, grey water re-use,treated effluent water, spring wa-ter and rain water harvesting) youare encouraged to do so only before09:00 or after 16:00 on Tuesdays,Thursdays and Saturdays.. If alternative water sources areused, all customers must ensurethat they display appropriate sig-nage clearly visible to the public.. Special users (e.g. golf coursesand schools) can apply to the City’sdirector ofwater and sanitation forexemption from any of the aboverestrictions by emailing a complet-ed special exemption applicationform to [email protected]..

Giants see off Van der StelSEAN CAMPBELL

TheMaitlandGiants cameout victoriousin their top of the league clashwithVander Stel in the promotion league of WP

baseball at the weekend.Giants won the game 5-1 and moved two

points clear at the top of the standings.The combined pitching effort of Matt Sor-

en (from the United States) and JaydeThorne restricted Van der Stel to three hitsfor the game. Michael Miller batted 1 for 5for Van der Stel, hitting in their only run inthe eighth innings.Giants scored their five runs off Van der

Stel’s two international pitchers before ex-perienced campaigner Bles Kemp shut themdown for the last three innings.Jayde Thorne (2 for 3), Kyle Inglis (1 for

3) and Ryan Samie (1 for 2) were Giants’ besthitters.

The foreign pitchers could only pitch acombined total of five innings.

Bothasig’s Elario shuts out A’sAnawesomepitchingperformancebyJar-

ed Elario helped Bothasig to beat AthloneA’s 5-0 at the Abe Sher stadium in Bothasigtomove two points clear at the top of thema-jor league of WP baseball.

Elario threw a no-hitter and only facedtwo hitters more than the minimum. Hethrew for nine innings, faced 29 hitters,struck off 16 and allowed two base on balls.The Bothasig hitters – Brett Willemburg

(3 for 4), Keenan Clarke (2 for 3) and NickEagles – did well to support Elario’s efforts.

A’s had no answer to Elario’s dominantperformance.

Carl Michaels (seven innings) and Lloyd

Stevens (one inning) shared the pitching du-ties for A’s.

Yankees lose to VOBAlthough they out hit VOB 14 to 7, West-

ridge Yankees still lost 14-13.Three big innings (second, fourth and

ninth) by VOB set up a surprising victoryover Westridge.Westridge did not help their efforts by al-

lowing 16 free bases (13BB and 4HBP) andmaking seven errors.Westridge’s pitching duties were shared

by Jayson Ripepi (5.2Inn, 5H, 5BB, 6K and

3HBP) and Luwayne du Plessis (2.1Inn, 2H,8BB, 1K and 1HBP).

VOB’s pitching was shared by MichaelScritten, Grant Robertson and Chad Joneswith a combined effort (9Inn, 14H, 9BB,3HBP).VOBsurprisedwhen theydidnot usetheir SA squad member Jason Theys. Theyswasmerely seen warming up in the bullpen.The best hitters forWestridgewereCasley

Ripepi (3 for 4), Veon Rix (2 for 2) and KyleRipepi (2 for 3). Chad Gravenhorst (3 for 4)and Grant Emmanuel (2 for 4) were VOB’sbest hitters.

Both teams fielded poorly with Westridgemaking seven errors and VOB eight.

Bellville blast Durbanville late in gameTwo homeruns in the bottom of the eighth

innings by Bellville (with them 3-2 up) tookthe game away from Durbanville.

A three-run homerun by Jonathan Phil-lips and a two-run homerun byKyle EittischhelpedBellville beatDurbanville 8-4 tomoveinto second spot on the major league.Durbanville’s pitching dutieswere shared

between Benji Waite (5 Inn/ 1 run), GavinJefferies (3 Inn/ 2 runs) and Terence le Roux(1 Inn/ 5 runs). Bellville also used threepitchers: Russell Olivier (5 Inn/ 1 run), JoshHavelson (3 Inn/ 1 run) and Callan Pearce(1 Inn/ 2 runs).
