Heavy downpour has flooded homes which, residents say, has been exacerbated by the raised level of the sandy roads. Community worker Karen Mentoor is up- set at the nonchalant attitude of the City of Cape Town regarding their situation. “More than 500 households have been flooded after heavy rains in recent weeks. We haven’t received help from anybody; it is truly frustrating,” she fumes. “It’s not fair that we lose most of our pos- sessions after we warned our ward council- lor that the lifting of roads would cause prob- lems. We cannot afford to replace all these items and we’re not getting help from any roleplayers.” Mentoor claims her pleas to ward council- lor Shaun August was met with a dismissive response, as he said the roads would be “fine”. “No one has come out to assist us – it’s like we’re the forgotten people. We have to live in undesirable conditions; like pigs in mud every day. Why is there no help for our com- munity?” Resident Nolene Pini (72) has been sick for three weeks, with the wet conditions in her home exacerbating her illness. She wants the water pumped from her home, as well as for her house to be raised above the flood- plane. “It’s not nice living like this. My bedding and blankets have been soaked for weeks; and I am ill as a result of this flooding. We’re afraid to use our appliances because the mo- ment you touch it, you feel the electric cur- rent; my fridge no longer works,” Pini says. Mentoor further claims when she last ap- proached August, he told her to wait until the rainy season is over, as summer would be the best time to resolve the situation. “Our children are getting sick and our homes haven’t even recovered from the last storm, then the next one is on its way. Wait- ing for a solution until November is just too long,” she insists. Overcome Heights Housing Committee chairperson Fawzia Cassiem describes their current living conditions as “horrible”. “We are being neglected. It’s like nobody cares enough to help with alternatives or so- lutions,” she says. “Now we hear we have to wait until later this year before something is done – why so long? In the meantime our homes rot away as a result of the water.” August confirms he has received all the complaints, adding that plans to assist the community are in motion. “Two weeks ago we met with officials, who conducted an as- sessment in the area. We are planning to re- habilitate the area, but there is only so much we can do at the moment,” he explains. August sympathises with the community, saying it is an “undesirable situation” and says Disaster Risk Management has been supplying food and blankets to affected resi- dents. He acknowledges the raised road has worsened the flooding problems in an area plagued for more than 10 years. “We are do- ing as much as we can to remedy the situa- tion,” he says, adding that roadworks can only continue once the rain stops. “I have re- quested that the road levels be scraped back to the levels of the houses. In the interim pumps have been installed to get rid of some of the water.” Mentoor says: “A pump truck was sent by August, but the truck only went to two homes, as the workers arrived here just be- fore 17:00. They told us they do not get paid for overtime and could only complete those two houses. They were supposed to return the next morning, but we haven’t seen them since.” FRUSTRATION: Community worker Karen Mentoor scoops water from a resident’s home.

MUNICIPALITY: ECD URGED TO APPLY

Rebates deadlineThe City of Cape Town’s social develop-

ment and early childhood developmentdirectorate urges community organisa-

tions working with vulnerable groups to ap-ply for rates rebates as soon as possible.

Shelters working with homeless peopleand homes catering for the health of physi-cally ormentally challenged individuals andvulnerable groups need to register with theCity’s Homeless Agency Committee to applyfor rebates related to rates, solid waste, wa-ter and sanitation, and sewage by Sunday 31August.

In thepast financial year, theCityhashelda number of information sessions to ensureinterested organisations are informed ofthis opportunity, and relevant documenta-tion needed and the process to be followedto qualify for relief for the 2014/2015 finan-cial year.

“We’ve discovered in the past some organ-isations areunawareof thepolicy,while oth-ers have failed to qualify for relief merelybecause they did not have the necessary doc-umentation, or were unsure of how to fill in

the forms,” said City mayco member for so-cial development and early childhood devel-opment Suzette Little.

“So, last year we started the informationsessions to assist organisations who do ster-ling work in our communities but who oftenstruggle to cover costs such as municipalbills because of funding constraints. In thisway, the City and NGOs can work togetherto make progress possible.”

For more information on how to apply forthe rebates,NGOs can contact theCity’s CallCentre on 0860 103 089 or visit their nearestmunicipal office.

The directorate is also planning to amendthe City’s current Rates Rebate Policy to al-low registered Early Childhood Develop-ment (ECD) centres to apply for rebates aswell.

“The importance of well-functioning ECDcentres cannot be overstated. The moneythat they would be able to save courtesy ofthe rates rebates will go a long way towardsenhancing the current level of educationprovided at the centres,” said Little.

Free access to Cape PointSouthAfricans can enjoy free access to CapePoint during SANParks Week which runsfrom Monday 8 to Saturday 13 September.Children are the big winners at Cape

Point, based in the Cape of Good Hope sec-tion of Table Mountain National Park, asthey get a free trip on the legendary FlyingDutchman Funicular and a free meal at theTwo Oceans Restaurant, if accompanied bya paying adult.For every return adult ticket bought for

R52, a child travels for free on the electricpowered funicular.

Named after the Flying Dutchman ghostship sighted by sailors over the centuries,the funicular takes about three minutes totravel the climb along 585m of rail.At the Two Ocean’s Restaurant children

receive a free meal for every main meal or-dered by a parent.The Cape of Good Hope is open seven days

a week (07:00 to 17:00 April to September,06:00 to 18:00October toMarch),with theFly-ing Dutchman funicular, Two Oceans Res-taurant and the curio stores open from 09:00to 17:00.

VRYGROND: COMMITMENT FOR INTEGRATED OPERATIONS

Traffic woes in the spotlightMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

Traffic issues in Vrygrond are high onthe agenda of traffic officials operatingin the south.

This follows an appeal by ward councillorShaun August at the South Peninsula Sub-council meeting this week.Subcouncil chairpersonFelicityPurchaseintroduced the new principal traffic inspec-tor for the southern district,WaldoPrinsloo,and asked him to elaborate on some of theissues he is focusing on.Purchase congratulated Prinsloo on thework carried out and said she was pleasedto see him directing traffic when needed.August questioned the traffic report sub-mitted to the subcouncil, saying while Vry-grond was plagued by taxi violations, it wasnot reflected in the report.He said despite his ward being part of thesubcouncil meeting, the report did not indi-cate the necessary information.“For three years I have threatened towalkout and take a smoke break when this itemcomes up, because there is nothing for myward,” August said.Purchase explained that the report wasbased on direct complaints logged and at-tended by Prinsloo.In response, Prinsloo explained that traf-fic enforcementwas carried out inVrygrondand he has held meetings with police abouttaxi issues.“I do not want to make excuses, but youmust understand I cannot send two officersinto Vrygrond,” he said.Under the advice of police, Prinsloo said,

he cannot risk the lives of officers.Purchase said the subcouncil had re-

ceived a commitment from Muizenberg po-lice cluster commander Colonel MartinSwanepoel that police would assist withmore integrated operations focusing on traf-fic violations, drugs and crime.According to the report, during July fivemotorists were fined for driving without a

licence and 14 for unlicensed vehicles.The report also states that 27 fines wereissued for defective vehicles and 12 fines is-sued for taxi-related offences.In June, 11 taxi-related offences were re-corded and four offences in May.Prinsloo and August resolved to keep in

touch about issues needing attention inVry-grond. “All I need is your contact details andI will ensure that you have all the statisticsyou need,” Prinsloo said.V What do you think the traffic problems in Vrygrondare? Starting with the word “Post”, SMS your thoughtsto 32516. SMSes cost R1.

RETREAT: COUNCIL APPLICATION APPROVED

Liquor store hours extendedCHEVON BOOYSEN

@ChevonBooysen

An application for extended tradinghours at a local liquor store in RetreatRoad has been approved.

The application wasmade by the owner ofSteenberg Liquors for extended tradinghours over weekends.It was approved by the Protea Subcouncil

on Friday 22 August.However, the liquor outlet will not be per-

mitted to trade on Sundays.Ward councillor Jan Burger acknowledg-

es the decision made by the subcouncil togrant the extended hours was not ideal, butwill be respected.“The store can now operate until 20:00 on

Saturdays. After public participation, thecouncillors made the ruling to extend theoutlet’s trading hours. It was previously de-nied,” Burger explains.People’s Post previously reported on the

denied application after the subcouncilruled against the application (“‘No’ to boozeapplication”, 27 March ).At the time, it was denied on grounds of

“social ills being attributed to alcoholabuse” in the area, says Burger.The owners subsequently appealed the de-

cision.“With the most recent ruling, we must

note they cannot trade on Sundays; thisshould be strictly monitored. Surroundingresidents should be aware of the conditionsset out in the newly obtained license,” Burg-er says.And Burger still expresses concern over

illegal shebeens and liquor stores operatingin the greater Retreat area.“These shebeens and liquor outlets need

to follow the correct process to trade in resi-dential or properly zoned areas,” he says.“I have observed these operations and

have found that some applicants who givetheir addresses through are not giving thecorrect information. This is something theCity of Cape Town will have to monitor.”Steenberg Community Policing Forum

chairperson (CPF) Kevin Southgate saysthey did not expect the establishment to begranted extended trading hours.

“The City has, however, approved this ap-plication; as the CPF, we should respect thisdecision,” he says.“The establishment is located in a mixed-

business area and is zoned correctly so allproper procedure has been followed.”Southgate adds they are relieved the appli-

cation for Sunday trade was denied, saying“alcohol abuse is a huge problem”.“We are glad that the Sunday trading ap-

plicationwas dismissed.We already have so

many problems, relating to alcohol abuse, inthe area. Trade on Sundays will just furtherexacerbate the issue,” he explains.“The business is in a business zone andwe

can accommodate that.“At the same time,weare concernedabout

illegal shebeens operating in residential are-as without the required permission.”V What are your thoughts on the extended tradinghours?Starting with the word “Post” send your SMSto 32516. SMSes cost R1.

ENDURANCE: FOR SMILES ON KIDS’ FACES

Quest to runfor a causeOneman’s quest is to run the

Table Mountain Challengeroute seven times over sev-

en days. All this to improve thelives of seven – ormore – childrenin need of facial surgery.The race, called the Miles for

Smiles Mad Run, is the brain-child of Dr Jean van Lierop, whohas challenged ultra runnersDavid Grier and Andrew Stuartto joinhim in theTableMountainChallenge (TMC).The race takes place from Sun-

day 7 to Saturday 13 Septemberwhen seven teamswill run 37kmsa day around Table Mountain toraise awareness and funds for theplight of children born with cleftlips and palates, says a state-ment.Sponsor Cipla, in conjunction

with Operation Smile, has com-mitted to facilitating such sur-geries for seven children duringthe race period.Van Lierop, who initiated the

Mad Run, says the TMC route isa toughandchallenging trail run,even for experienced trail run-ners who are fit and capable.Each pair or team of four relay

runners had to pay R14 000 to en-ter the race – R11 000 goes to-wards the facilitation of a cleft lipor palate operation for one child,while the remaining R3 000 goesto South African National Parksto ensure the upliftment of TableMountain National Park, there-by ensuring the preservation ofthe environment.And nothing – no food or water

– is supplied to the runners in ex-change for the entry fee.“All proceeds go towards help-

ing change the lives of seven chil-dren, by giving them their God-given right to smile,” says VanLierop.Grier,managing trustee of Cip-

la SA Foundation, says one in

every 750 children in Africa isbornwith a cleft palate or lip, andone in 10 babies born with thiscondition do not make it to theirfirst birthday. “Malnutrition,medical and psychological prob-lems also compound the problem.Life can be a tough and compli-cated place for children and notbeing able to smile shouldn’thave to limit their experience ofthe world.”Rynard van der Westhuizen,

Cipla SA director of CorporateAffairs, says this innovative andworthy charity concept allowsthe foundation to deliver on twoof its sustainable social invest-ment goals. “Not only does it cre-ate a platform to assist OperationSmile in creating awareness forthe plight of children born withcleft lips and palates, but alsohelps conserve our environment,in the formof SouthAfrica’s veryown seventh wonder of theworld, Table Mountain.”The event will close with the

celebration of the Table Moun-tainCrazyRun’s 10-year anniver-sary on 13 September. All singleday and team participants areurged to carry energy-rich food,at least 1.5F of water and a blad-der pack. A windbreaker or wa-terproof jacket is compulsory forparticipation.All funds raised as part of this

event will go towards the Milesfor Smiles initiative.

prospective student, says of his visitto the campus: “I enjoyed the cam-pus tour by students andwhat stoodout for me was how everything re-volves around giving back to thecommunity. I liked the fact that eve-rything was explained in detail andthat everyone was really friendly.”Bethwill Cloete, TSiBA’s recruit-

ment officer and Bachelor in Busi-ness Administration graduate,says: “At our open days we literallyopen the doors to the public. Peoplevisit the campus, get to meet stu-dents and experience TSiBAfirsthand. Students say TSiBA feelslike you’re part of a community –you are more than a just a student

number to staff and colleagues. TSi-BA invests in our students by givingthem focused attention to growtheir leadership and entrepreneur-ship skills as we want them to suc-ceed.”Applications for study at TSiBA

in 2015 are officially open and anystudent with an interest in businessis encouraged to apply, she says.“What makes TSiBA even more

unique is thatwehaveaCareerCen-tre which works with studentswhile they are studying, as well asafter they leave TSiBA to help findemployment.”To be accepted at TSiBA appli-

cants need to have matric, but canapply with a higher certificate in-stead of a degree level pass.Thosewho are older than 25 years

Man founddead on PrinceGeorge DriveThe body of an elderly man was foundon the corner of Prince George Driveand Eighth Avenue early on Mondaymorning.Steenberg police spokesperson Con-

stable Zodwa Kedama confirmed thebody of the 65-year-old was found at07:00. “The deceased was on his way towork when he fell off his bicycle. Theparamedics who attended to the sceneconfirmed there were no external inju-ries, which ruled out the possibility ofhim being knocked off his bicycle,” Ke-dama says.No foul play is suspected.An inquest docket has been opened to

determine the cause of death.

EMERGENCY LINE: NUMBERS SWELL

Dial 107 to call for helpWhat is the first number you dial dur-

ing an emergency? 107, of course!The City of Cape Town’s public

emergency line has been ringing off thehook and continues to report growing callvolumes.The line has become the first point of con-

tact formany residents in emergency situa-tions.In the second quarter of 2014 (April-

June), the call centre created 84 979 incidentrecords, compared to just over 73 252 duringthe same period in 2013. Medical emergen-cies continue to dominate, accounting for53% of all incidents, followed by crime andlaw enforcement calls at 34%.JP Smith, Mayoral Committee member

for Safety and Security says the centre of-fers the only city-wide, multi-choice solu-tion to any emergency.“Most other numbers are service-specif-

ic, like the police’s 10111 number. This in-crease in statistics is very encouraging, be-cause it means that more people are start-ing to recognise the value of a singlenumber to connect them to any emergencyservice provider, depending on their situa-tion,” he says.Smith says the call centre staff are

trained to answer all calls as quickly as pos-sible. “In the last financial year, they main-tained an 89% average for calls answeredwithin 10 seconds. From a staffing perspec-tive, the department boasts an 80% femalestaff complement. This is as a direct resultof the required competencies for entry-levelposts, including typing skills and call cen-tre/customer interaction experience.”Staff also conduct ongoing awareness and

education campaigns at schools, tertiary in-stitutions, government departments andold-age homes, amongst others, where they

highlight the benefits of the public line andoutline exactly how the process works.“Our outreach work is extremely impor-

tant, because knowingwhere to turn in caseof an emergency could mean the differencebetween life and death. It’s also importantthat parents teach their children thenumber and how to access the service, butjust as important is teaching them thatmaking hoax calls to emergency numbersis a punishable offence and could rob some-one experiencing a real emergency of get-ting help in time,” he added.

In an emergency, members of the publiccan use the service by dialling 107 from alandline, including public telephones. Thisis a free call. If you are calling from a cell-phone, you must dial (021) 480 7700 and willbe charged network rates.Callers are advised to relay as much in-

formation as possible, stay calm and nothang up until an operator advises them todo so.V A comprehensive list of tips is available here: http://www.capetown.gov.za/en/emergencyservices/Pag-es/Tips.aspx

CASUAL DAY: 500 ORGANISATIONS TO BENEFIT FROM FUNDRAISER

Time to get your Bling onThe whole country is mobilising in aid of

the disabled for Casual Day on Friday5 September. Have you got your Casual

Day sticker yet?Standing strong behind the cause is pre-

mier Helen Zille, a long-time advocate forpeople with disabilities.

She bought her sticker at the recent open-ing of the Women’s Achievement Networkfor Disability at Artscape theatre, where shesaid people with disabilities are often mar-ginalised and, in poorer communities, even“hidden away”.

“The challenges around disability have notyet been fully acknowledged,” she said. “Peo-ple think it begins with race and gender, butit is just the beginning. We have never con-fronted the politics of disability as a society.”

She encouraged people with disabilities tostart a movement and to free resources to fo-cus on the unpreventable conditions whichcause disability.

Casual Day is South Africa’s most success-ful fundraising project for people with disa-bilities – the amount raised last year hasclimbed to R24.8m. It is the flagship projectof the National Council for Persons withPhysical Disabilities in South Africa(NCPPDSA), which celebrates 75 years of

service this year.The proceeds collected ensure that more

than 500 organisations continue to serve theneeds of persons with disabilities all over thecountry.

Casual Day project leader Celeste Vinassasays: “Casual Day has welcomed several newambassadors aboard to raise awarenessaround the project and its aims. We aim todo the very thing that Zille suggests – to starta movement to change the way the world sees(or does not see) persons with disabilities.Our ambassadors are persons with disabili-ties or people who have dedicated themselvesto supporting the disabled. They are all peo-ple who have overcome great adversity, andare now ready to help Casual Day with its ev-olution.”

Casual Day celebrates its 20th birthdaythis year. The theme is Bring out the Blingand the colour for the year is Dazzle Blue. Soput on your dancing shoes and dress up – notdown – for this year’s Casual Day.

Stickers, at R10, are available from Edgars,Jet, Boardmans, CNA, Red Square and Legit,Absa, Game and DionWired, Shoprite andCheckers, and you can also donate online.V Contact the organisers of the project on(011) 609 7006 or visit www.casualday.co.za.

Three-day skateboarding bonanzaIf you’re a skateboarder fan then all roadsshould lead to Canal Walk this weekendwhere top athletes will compete for the hon-ours.

The three-day takedown of the KimberleyDiamond Cup (KDC) takes place at the shop-ping centre from tomorrow Friday 29 toSunday 31 August.

The KDC Grand Slam will offer three daysof non-stop skateboarding action in theMother City with R50 000 worth of prizesand an all-expenses paid trip to compete inthe Kimberley Diamond Cup world skate-boarding championships up for grabs.

First-time skaters can hit the decks at theCentral Promotions Court next to the foodcourt on Friday, as part of the Skateboard-ing for Hope community outreach initia-tive. This programme is a collaboration be-tween the Northern Cape government andKumba Iron Ore as part of their commit-ment to youth development. It has benefitedthousands of South African youth as theroad show travels throughout the countryto promote skateboarding as a healthy andaffordable leisure activity.

Beneficiaries from the Canal Walk Foun-dation will be able to learn more about thesport of skateboarding and copy somemoves during free skate lessons between13:00 and 18:00. Open skate sessions will runfrom 10:00-13:00 and from 18:00-21:00.

On Saturday, top skateboarders Wesley

Schroeder, Jean-marc Johannes, KhuleNgubane, Shuaib Philander and Alan Maro-la are expected to take part in the prelimi-nary rounds. They will battle it out for aplace in Sunday’s finals and a chance tocompete against some of the top skaters inthe world in Kimberley in the NorthernCape in October. Warm-up sessions start at10:00 with the qualifiers taking place be-tween noon and 17:00.

Skateboarder Marola is amped for theCape Town event. The skating bug bit himover 15 years ago when he was first intro-duced to skateboarding.

He has since been perfecting his skillsand Marola is confident this will be the big-gest Grand Slam event of the year. “CapeTown is definitely where it is happeningand the local skate scene is unquestionablybigger than Johannesburg or Durban, witha lot of events and skaters even movingdown to the Cape to be part of the action.KDC has had an impact as the cash prizesare definitely a huge motivation for mostskaters.

You could actually foresee making a liv-ing out of skateboarding, which is a hugeencouragement. I’ll absolutely have a spe-cial trick up my sleeve to impress the judgesfor the wild card,” says Marola.V For more information visit www.kimberleydia-mondcup.com or follow KDC on Facebook at Kimber-leyDiamondCup or Twitter @KDiamondCup.

You can’t just say what you like. Not in person – for thosewith courage – and certainly not via social media.

Too many people think – mistakenly – that Facebook,Twitter and Instagram allow individuals and groups freereign to speak their mind. Not so.

This is the thinking of unintelligent cowardice thathides behind security settings. Anonymity on social me-dia is an illusion.

It is also a domain that, contrary to any attempts at se-crecy or even use of code language, can and is circumvent-ed.

How so? Because, free speaker, people talk. Even thoseindividuals some may consider close associates spill thebeans when their own safety, job security or status in soci-ety – however imagined – is threatened.

Who, then, stands on the side of the free speaker? Lookaround you and count them. Perhaps not even one?

There have been court cases in which people who ventvia social media have been brought to book.

A group of Strandfontein girls have found out how de-meaning others can be when their photos were used onFacebook to harm their character.

The photos were found to have been sourced from thegirls’ own Facebook posts and reused elsewhere withouttheir permission or even knowledge. This Facebook pagehas subsequently been closed.

Is there really such a place or space where people cansay just as they please? Hardly likely when the aim is todemean, break down the character of another for whatev-er criminal or petty reason, or simply because they thinkthey can get away with it.

The hour glass turns against such actions. Beyond thesheer childishness of it, there is a resident evil that re-sides within the character of a person who seeks redressthrough social media. Then, again, if Facebook is youronly friend, such people should seriously look in the mir-ror. Actions, like cyber-bullying, have consequences.

There are opportunitiesSo unemployment and poverty are some ofthe things ruling our lives at the moment?It really does not have to be that way. Wesearch the internet and there’s a job; we readthe newspapers and there’s a vacancy adver-tised; we open People’s Post and there’s anopportunity waiting to be snapped up by oneof us.

Yes, jobs and study opportunities are allaround us, readily available. Easier saidthan done, you might say? I agree.

We should challenge one another to takethat first step to success. Recruiters and aca-demic institutions, please continue to adver-tise jobs and opportunities in our communi-ty newspapers. These newspapers, such asPeople’s Post, are sometimes the only way in

which readers or citizens can view careeropportunities. The simple reason is thatmost of us do not have access to the internetor even money for food – let alone for a news-paper. You might just snap up our country’s“next big thing”!

Congratulations and all the best to Lucin-da Evans and the 23 youth taking part in thetraining and skills programme at Cafda. Youguys inspire and motivate us.

We all have a good quality in us and thatmight just be triggered. Best wishes.

There is still hope for ParkwoodI was born in Parkwood, raised in Park-wood, attended school and church in Park-wood, found a wife and got married in Park-wood.

Today I am a grown man and still walk thestreets of Parkwood. Not much has changed.The flats are still there, the hawkers, theclinic, the civic centre, the rent office andthe play parks. All symbols of the legacy ofwhere we come from. In winter the streetsare flooded and the flats are freezers, and ov-ens in summer.

There is still no recreational facilities forour children – still no libraries; still the old,out-dated community facility and still no po-lice station within reach. People must stilltravel kilometres to access basic servicessuch as social services, day hospital and

court, or to do shopping.On a hot day our children must make the

long journey to Wynberg for a dive in thepool or cross the busy M5 to the nearest trainstation to go to the beach.

Time has moved on. Promises were madeand are forgotten. Still Parkwood exists.

Must we lose hope? Certainly not! Must wedespair? Certainly not!

Even though we may be faced by all thesechallenges as of late, we must continue tounite, continue to dream, continue to prayand, above all, continue to believe in our-selves.

There is hope for Parkwood. Faith is onour side. Let the voice of Parkwood be heard!PASTOR PAUL PHILLIPS,Voice of Parkwood chairperson

Biodiversity akey asset tothe CapeThe Wildlife and Environment Society ofSouth Africa (Wessa) commends the City ofCape Town for its request to provincial gov-ernment to declare Cape Town as a biore-gion, a status – if granted – that should helpconserve some of its 19 national veld types.Ten of these, such as Peninsula Shale Renos-terveld and Cape Flats Sand Fynbos, are crit-ically endangered.

Wessa is particularly pleased to see the in-tention to “protect and restore” being firmlystated. So often the “balance between urbandevelopment and environmental protec-tion” involves a steady succession of cumu-lative impacts that erodes natural capitaland eco-system services. The need for resto-ration is well acknowledged.

The five-pillar concept that the City cur-rently uses to guide its decision-making in-cludes opportunity creation, safety, caring,inclusivity and efficient management. Therecognition of biodiversity as a key asset toCape Town underpinning much of its eco-nomic activity and physical functioningsuggests these pillars should be founded inour natural environment and not built at itsexpense.

In the face of gloomy state of the environ-ment reports it is heartening to see a largeadministrative body taking such an impor-tant step and Wessa is hopeful the requestwill be favourably received and emulated byother cities. Wessa urges the public to be-come involved in the active realisation ofthis initiative.WESSA STATEMENT

Care for your petsI wish people could take better care of theirpets. So many of these animals are un-trained, dirty, neglected, dangerous androam the streets. It is very sad because notonly are people’s animals in this state, buttheir children, too! And it’s also sad because99% of these people can’t take their pets tothe beach because they’re too dangerousJILLIAN

BOOKWORMS: PLENTY TO DO AT LOCAL LIBRARIES

No fines during Book WeekAnyone who owes City of Cape Town

libraries a fine will have a free passduring National Book Week.

It runs fromMonday 1 to Sunday 7 Sep-tember with the theme Going places.Theweekaims topromote andembrace

the value of reading and is a joint initia-tive between the Department of Arts andCulture and the South African Book De-velopment Council, says a City state-ment.During this week library patrons can

return overdue material to City librarieswithout having to pay fines.The theme focuses on the power of

books and how they can take us places –both in terms of progress and imagina-tion.Reading statistics show only 14% of the

SouthAfrican population are active bookreaders and only 5% of parents read totheir children.Belinda Walker, City Mayco member

for Community Services and SpecialProjects, says: “National BookWeek is animportant initiative in encouraging thenation to value readingas a funandpleas-urable activity and to showcase howreading can easily be incorporated intoone’s daily lifestyle.”

Returning long overdue books is some-thing everyone loathes doing, she says.“It leavesus feeling likenaughty school

children, sheepishly approaching the li-brary counter muttering excuses. Butany library materials returned late dur-ing National BookWeek are exempt froma fine for this week only. It provides agrace period for all those who have beenputting off taking their long overduebooks back to the library.”Ninnie Steyn, director of Library and

Information Services, says: “We knowthat with today’s fast-paced lifestyles, re-turning library books is often just one

itemona long list of things to do.Wewantto provide people with an incentive tobring back forgotten library books.”If you consider the numbers of books

being circulated by Cape Town’s librar-ies, it’s easy to see why keeping tabs onbooks is no small task. Cape Town boasts100 libraries, three satellite libraries anda mobile library service. Almost 12 mil-lion people visited the City’s librariesduring 2013 and 11.7 million books wereborrowed.Nearly 90 000 new members joined the

City’s libraries in the last year and about900 000 people attended programmes.

Distemper alert issued by SPCADog owners are cautioned by authorities tovaccinate their pets against CanineDistem-per (CD).Last Tuesday, the Cape of Good Hope

SPCA issued an important reminder to dogowners to vaccinate both their puppies andolder dogs against this aggressive disease.Wanika Rusthoi, spokesperson for the or-

ganisation, says CD is a virus that affectsa dog’s respiratory, gastrointestinal andcentral nervous systems, as well as the con-junctival membranes of the eye.Noticeable signs of distemper include

shedding, thick mucus discharge from theeyes and nose, fever, lethargy and suddenvomiting and diarrhoea.“The virus does, however, have an incu-

bation period of two weeks wherein symp-toms are not noticeable, and some dogs areable to be carriers of the virus without

showing symptoms themselves,” saysRusthoi.“Infection is preventable through up to

date vaccinations.”The organisation urges dog owners to en-

sure their pet’s vaccinations are up to date,including an annual booster vaccination.“Pet owners who take their dogs for

walks in public areas like parks or beaches,shouldmake sure to visit their vet annuallyfor a booster vaccination against this, andother viruses which can affect their dog’shealth,” she says.Rusthoi says the Cape of Good Hope’s

Gorfinkel Animal Hospital in Grassy Parkhas been placed under quarantine for thenext four weeks.Non-emergencies would be referred to

other animal welfare organisations wherethe facilities are unaffected by the virus.

TALENT SEARCH: ARTISTS TO WOW CROWDS FOR RECORDING SESSION

Starstruck voices to raise the roofLOUISA STEYL

@LouNotes

The Starstruck Voice Search is doingthings a little differently this year.

The singing competition, which hasbeen running since June, is on its way tofinding its top 15 contestants.

Usually only the winner of the competi-tion would get a chance to experience the re-cording process, but this year organisers,Crazy World Production, will be giving alltop 15 artists the opportunity to record asong.

But they will have to work for it.“The idea is for the top 15 to raise the funds

to record, even if it is below cost price,” ex-plains Crazy World’s Brilynn van Rooyen.

“This will teach them to work hard forwhat they want to achieve and also show uswhat they are made of,” he says.

The local competition is as focused on thebusiness side of the music industry as it ison the music.

The top 15 contestants will each record asingle, which is to be released as an album.

The contestants will be hosting a fundrais-ing show at The Hollywood Club in Bracken-fell on Friday 29 August where they’ll bejoined by Idols SA star, Crushanda Forbes.

Brilynn says the CD will not only give con-

testants a chance to work and compose in astudio, but it’s also a great way for the judgesto see which artists stand out and who hasthe biggest fan base.

The competition is run weekly, with a topcontestant chosen each week.

So far, Renier Conradie from Robertson,Mad Square from Belhar, Jade Petersenfrom Durbanville, Jazaryn from Kuils Riv-er, Willy Joe la Mayer from Eesteriver andAdrian Jantjies from Mitchell’s Plain areamong those in the running for the top prizeof a recording and management deal, a CDlaunch and music video, photo shoot andmusic equipment.

These contestants and others will be onstage at The Hollywood Club where they willneed to raise R30 000 to record the album.

Crazy World will cover the rest of thefunds needed and present an album launchwhere all top 15 acts will get a chance toshine.

The top 10 contestants are set to do a road-show next month, where they will performalong the Garden Route.V Tickets for the fundraising show on Friday 29 Augustcost R50 and the show kicks off at 19:00. Call Brilynnon 074 696 4325 or email [email protected] to book. Visit the Starstruck Voice Search2014 Facebook page for more information about thecompetition.

TASMIN CUPIDO@TazzCup

The challenge for the WP Rugby’s SuperLeague A Grand Challenge trophy cul-minates this weekend.

But the UCT boys will have their titlehopes and fate in the hands of one of theirbiggest rivals, Hamiltons RFC, as the menfrom Green Point travel to Stellenbosch totake on Maties on Saturday.The Ikey Tigers played their final match

of the first round, which determines the ulti-matewinners of the top tier of Cape club rug-by, when they took on Victorians in Stellen-bosch last Friday evening.And they continued with the superb form

they have shown throughout the season,thumpingVics 20-71 at theDanieCravenSta-dium.Going into this weekend’s clashes, Ikeys,

who will not be in action this weekend, willremain at the top of the league – just threepoints ahead of Maties.But Hammies, who are currently in third

place on 56 points, will face amammoth taskon Saturday. Maties are the only unbeatenteam in the league and will look to snatchthe top spot and trophy from their arch ri-vals – especially after their losses to UCT inthe Varsity Cup.

The Maties/Hammies encounter will un-doubtedly be the biggest clash of the SLA.The other SLA results of Southern Sub-

urbs teams last weekend: SK Walmers vsDurb-Bell 5-68; Hammies vs Tygerberg 45-19;False Bay vs Bellville 68-0; Primrose vs Mat-ies 17-50.ThisweekendSouthernSuburbswill be in

action in the following SLAmatches: Matiesvs Hamiltons; UWC vs Primrose; Victoriansvs SK Walmers; False Bay vs NNK.

V In Super League B, the biggest clash thisweekendwill see Villager RFC host Sir Low-rians in a top-of-the-table clash in Clare-mont.The Dirty Whites will look to improve on

their 7-5 victory overPnielVillagers last Fri-day evening. The match will also determinethe SLBwinner and automatic SLAcontend-er for next weekend.Meanwhile, Surrey Estate Rangers will

travel to the Northern Suburbs to take onBrackenfell RFC. Rangers will look to puttheir 12-24 loss to rivalsCollegians lastweek-end behind them as they tackle a side accus-tomed to playing at their muddy home.The Surrey Estate side are still awaiting

the outcome of their scheduled matchagainst Sir Lowrians two weeks ago. Thematch was called off by the referee as thefield was deemed unsuitable for play. WP

Rugbyhas yet tomake a decision on themat-ter.Collegians will look to continue their win-

ning momentum as they host GoodwoodRFC in Lentegeur.

V In Super League C Violets RFC contin-ued their winning form when they beatRaithbyUniversals 23-19 atChukkerRoad inLansdowne last Saturday; MIT Rangerswere defeated 7-11 by Stellenbosch-Corona-tions; and Silvertree RFC played to an 18-18stalemate with Northerns at Malta Park inSybrand Park.This weekend sees the following Southern

Suburbs teams in action in SLC: Fran-schhoek United vs Violets; Northerns vsMIT Rangers; and Silvertree vs Strand.

V The following matches will be played inthe Champions League this weekend: YoungStars vs YoungWesleys and Masiphumelelevs Young Ideas.

V In the Southern League, the followingteams will do battle: Titans vs Thistle; Re-treat vs Richmond Rangers; Peninsula vsYoung Brothers; and Bishop Lavis vs Rock-lands.

V The City League will see the followingmatches being played: Police vs Temper-ance-Cities; Progress vs Hamediehs; Watso-nia vs Perseverance; and Tech-Gardens vsBusy Bees.

which People’s Post is the print media spon-sor, saw 16 teams from across the peninsulavie for the coveted title, hefty cash prize andtrophy.The final was an evenly contested affair,

despite ASD, who were the losing finalistslast year, dominating both the territory andpossession statistics throughout the match.The local lads fromPortlandwere the first

side to bother the goalkeeper in the firstquarter, as a strike from outside the boxwassaved by ASD goalkeeper Darren Johnson.

The shot brushed Johnson’s fingertips andwent out for a corner.The corner kick was punched out by the

goalkeeper as he moved out of the box andthe deflection fell into the lap of a Liverpool-Portland player, who struck a shot on thevolley. But his shot hit the crossbar.In the secondquarter,ASDagaindominat-

ed the statistics and started to put the pres-sure on the Liverpool-Portland defence.While they managed to penetrate the defen-sive line, their attacks on goal were dealtwith by the Liverpool-Portland goalkeeper,who was the team’s stand-out performer.At the death of the first half, ASD threat-

ened to score again, but the Liverpool-Port-land ’keeperwas again up to the task, savinghis side from going into the half-time breaka goal down.The second half continued as the first,

with both teamsmanaging to break throughthe other’s defence, but their weak shots ongoal were easily kept away from the net byboth goalkeepers.Twelve minutes into the half Liverpool-

Portland and their fans were celebrating as

they thought they had scored the openinggoal when a shot found the net.But their celebrations were short-lived as

referee Jerome Damon blew his whistlewhen the assistant referee found the “goals-corer” to be offside.A fewminutes later, the tournamentmade

history as the first female referee, NoleneSwarts, took over the whistle from Damonwho was injured during the course of thematch.And it was just five minutes later that

Sampson sunk the hopes of Liverpool-Port-land and their supporters, bringing an endto their dream run.ASD will now represent the Cape at the
