HERITAGE

Observing ObsNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

As a child, Jim Hislop explored the oldValkenbergManor ruins with his par-ents one Sunday afternoon. The crum-

bling walls and vandalised burial vault, inwhich the young Hislop could see bones in-side broken coffins, started a love affairwith the history of Observatory.

The manor has since been restored andHislop is now launching his book, Wheat-fields & Windmills, which chronicles thestories of the suburb.

The book follows the early settlers as theygrew grain to feed the booming shippinghub of the Dutch East India Company, trac-ing the journey to the development of someof Observatory’s most iconic architecture.

“Obs has a very interesting history, fromthe first Khoikhoi-Dutch War, when the in-digenous people clashed with the settlersfor their ancestral grazing lands, to leop-ards comingdown fromDevil’s Peak tohuntlivestock. It’s one of South Africa’s earliestsuburbs and, as not a lot has been publishedabout Observatory before, it deserved abook that celebrates its architectural andsocial history,” Hislop explains.

“People think of places like Stellenboschas having great Cape Dutch architecture,but Obs and Mowbray have their own in-credible examples of this building style,right on our doorstep.”

This love for architecture and heritagedeveloped young, with Hislop spendinghours pouring over his father’s Africanabooks.

“Ever since I was a small child I’ve beenfascinated by history, especially the historyof old Cape Town buildings. I think [mydad’s] love of history was passed down to

me,” he says.Hislop hopes the book will leave readers

with a renewed love for the suburb.“I want my readers to feel as passionate

about history as I am, whether their fore-bears were free burghers, slaves or Khoipeople, they all made us who we are today– a multicultural society,” he says.Wheatfields & Windmills was self-pub-

lished which presented a steep learningcurve for the Woodstock resident, as he re-searched, photographed and completedmost of the layout himself.

“Raising the money to print the book wasprobably the biggest challenge, but luckilyI found sponsors to cover about half thecost,” he says.

But finding little nuggets of history wasworth the hard work, Hislop says.

“It’s like doing fun detective work,” hesays. “I spent a lot of time paging throughold books looking for anymention of the oldfarms of Obs. When I found something itwas a great feeling of discovery, especiallyold photographs as there are few of earlyObs.

“The amazing thing about Obs is thatthere is still so much Cape Dutch architec-ture remaining. If we’re aware of what’sstill surviving, we’re more likely to helppreserve it. History is all around us, we justhave to know where to look.”V Wheatfields & Windmills is available at Bibliophilia/Blank Books in Lower Main Road, Observatory or theBook Lounge in Roeland Street.V Jim Hislop will launch at The Wild Fig in LiesbeekRoad on Tuesday 25 November at 18:00.

Crooks high-tail it over railwaysNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Unmanned and poorly secured railwaylines are adding to crime in Maitland,residents say.

They believe criminals are using the poor-ly secured railway as an escape route or forillegal activities.Railway Avenue resident Brunelda Ro-

man often witnesses people burning copperwires under bridges over the railway line.She says the fencing around the train

track is easily clamped down to allow crimi-nals access, with crime occurring daily.This also allows for the railway to be used

as an escape route, she believes.“The security [officers] at the stations

seem to ignore this and the fences are oftenclamped down to give criminals access,” shesays.“It can be seen between stations fromKen-

sington to Maitland.”Maitland police spokesperson Constable

Lorencial Johnson says officers receivecomplaints of criminal activity along therailway line several times a week.“The property is privately owned and we

are limited in actions on their land,” he says.“We need to involve the property owners.

Until then, we can only increase patrols toprevent crime.”Metrorail regional manager Richard

Walker says the matter has been reported tothe Railway Police.But Roman believes sturdier fencing or

walls need to be erected.Fencing primarily demarcates railway

boundaries, Walker explains.“A fence would not deter wilful entry onto

the rail reserve by persons with criminal in-tent,” he says.

Repairs are planned and prioritised annu-ally in terms of urgency and necessity andimplemented according to available fund-ing, Walker says.“Due to the vastness of the region and re-

sources available, replacements and repairshave to be prioritised against other fencingprojects.“The prioritisation is based on a risk as-

sessment comprising a number of criteria.Replacement costs for a concrete palisadefence range between R800 and R1 100 a me-tre,” he says.The region’s fencing requirements far ex-

ceeded its available resources, Walkerpoints out.“We continue to motivate for additional

funding but we compete for finite resources.

The region spends R6m to R9m annually tomend broken fencing,” he says.Walker has called on residents to proac-

tively report any suspicious activity.“Wewelcome any information that can as-

sist the police to clamp down on vandalismor crime and encourage the public to reportsuspicious behaviour near our railwaylines,” he says.

Call to keep children safe when travellingMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

C ar seats for infants areno longer an option.With amendments to

the National Road Traffic Act(NRTA) parents and caregiv-ers are now forced to ensurechildren aged from 0 to threeare buckled up.An announcement on the

amendments was made by pro-vincial transport ministerDonald Grant last week wherehe made an appeal to parentsto buckle young children in ap-propriate car seats and protectthem from horrific injuries.

LawIn a statement, Grant ex-

plains the amendments werepromulgated on Friday 31 Oc-tober.He highlights the changes which stipu-

late that all children from newborns to theage of three have to be transported in appro-priate child seatswhen travelling inprivatevehicles.Alida Jones, former Fish Hoek resident

and founder of DriveMore Safely, is excitedabout the amendments and has spent sever-al years lobbying for the changes.She explains after assistingat anaccident

scene on the N1 in 2011 where a young childhad died, she studied the Act to see whatthe stipulations were regarding car seats.“I noticed that there was nothing to en-

sure that young children were buckled upand it stated that children three and oldershould be in a car seat if available,” she ex-plains.Jones says shewas concerned and started

lobbying for the law to be changed.She is happy about the changes but ques-

tions the enforcement thereof.According to the statement the penalty

for not obeying this new rule has not yetbeen determined.This will be based on a submission of rec-

ommendation to the chief magistrates ofdifferent districts for consideration and ap-proval.“Recommendations will need to be made

in respect of all new offences that have beencreated by these amended regulations,”Grant adds.

FatalitiesGrant explains an analysis conducted by

Safely Home, using audited fatality datafrom the Forensic Pathology Services of theprovincial health department, showed themajority of the bodies of young childrenwho died as passengers in road crasheswere recovered outside or under the vehi-cle. “The presence of the body outside thevehicle is a near-certain indicator that thechild was not restrained or was improperlyrestrained, as ejection does not occur whenan appropriate child restraint is used,” hesays.According to the statistics provided by

thedepartment, 292 childrenaged fromzeroto 14were killed in accidents in theWesternCape between 2011 and 2013.Of this total, 27 were babies aged below

one year old and 36 were children aged be-tween two and four.Of the 27 babies, 11were foundoutside the

vehicle and seven inside. It is unknownwhere the remaining nine were found.Of the 36 children aged between two and

four, 21 were found outside the vehicle, 10inside and the location of the remainingfive are unknown.Commenting on the statistics, Grant says

the presence of the body inside the vehicleis not an exclusionary factor in determin-ing if the child was restrained or not.“The analysis therefore erred on the side

of caution by default,” he says.“The data is indicative of a minimum of

two small children being killed on WesternCape roads each month after being ejectedfrom a vehicle in a road crash,” he says.Grant further explains passengers eject-

ed from a crash face a 75% chance of beingkilled due to ground impact injuries andcollisions with other objects and vehicles.

AwarenessIn December 2011, Jones made an appeal

to Far South residents to donate unused carseats to the organisation.The car seats are then given a makeover

and the organisation ensures they are inworking order.Jones explains the car seats are then giv-

en to families who need them and the firstdonations were given in Fish Hoek in 2012.To date they have donated more than

4 000 car seats.Shehasnowappealed for parents and car-

egivers to be responsible and ensure chil-dren are buckled up.“Whenyou lose a child it is too late. It best

for all of us to take responsibility and en-sure their safety,” she adds.V If you would like to donate a car seat or are in needof one phone Jones on 081 311 3223 or email [email protected]

Marching against relocationNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Kensington residents are calling forproperty around the Century City sta-tion to be taken off the cards as a possi-

ble site for the relocation of Dunoon shack-dwellers.

During a meeting last week, Transnet offi-cials informed the community that the sitewas one of several that had been suggestedfor the relocation of the informal settlementdwellers.

Thousands of residents in Dunoon’s Siya-hlala informal settlement were reportedlytold they would be relocated (“Confusionover relocation of Dunoon residents”, Peo-ple’s Post, 28 October).

During negotiations with the City of CapeTown regarding the relocation, it was re-ported that Transnet suggested it hand overland situated 10m or more from the railwayline to council, who would then provide ba-sic services.

Additional land would then have to be al-

located for those residents living within 10mof the railway line.

But the City was reportedly unwilling toassist in finding additional land and the casewas taken to the High Court last year.

The City of Cape Town’s Mayoral Commit-tee member for Human Settlements, Siyab-ulela Mamkeli, says no decision has beentaken on Transnet’s proposal.

Mamkeli confirms Transnet brought anapplication for the eviction of the Siyahlalacommunity from its rail reserve in Dunoonand the matter was referred for mediation.

In the process, alternative sites needed tobe proposed and are under investigation.

Transnet representatives, who were notauthorised to speak to themediaandsaid thecompany would issue a press statement, in-formed residents that no agreements hadbeen signed and the feasibility of severalsites is being explored.

Transnet had failed to comment at thetime of going to print.

However, residents want to see the ideadiscarded, says ward councillor Lisa Mc-

Bride.“The community says they want the Ken-

sington land to be taken off the table,” shesays.

Kensington andFactretonRatepayers’As-sociation secretary Mariam Oliver says “to-tal disrespect and disregard” have beenshown to the community in the absence ofa consultation process.

She confirms residents will march tomor-row (Wednesday 26 November) to hand amemorandum to Transnet management.

“Transnet stated that the Kensington Fac-treton area remains an option to relocatefrom Dunoon here.

“The community rejected any discussionsthat could result in the prejudice of therights of our people and therefore we contin-ue to respond to the mandate of this commu-nity to march,” she says.

The march will start at KeizergrachtStreet at 11:30 and will proceed to the stationdeck entrance of the Civic Centre to handover a memorandum to the mayor and CEOof Transnet.

TRAUMA CENTRE

Here’s hope to heal the brokenNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King,the Dalai Lama and Nelson Mandelahave all advocated for a violence-free

society.Now a Cape Town based organisation is

taking up this mantle, providing services tovictims of violence and educating communi-ties.The Trauma Centre in Zonnebloem pro-

vides violence prevention and communitytraumapsychosocial services to those affect-ed by violence, explains director Valdi vanReenen-Le Roux.“Violence prevention programmes focus

on changing people’smindsets about and ad-vocating for policy reform that will bringabout safer communities.“We believe that a non-violent society can

only come aboutwhen each person practisesnon-violent ideals and values,” she says.

Violent societyAccording to Health24.com, trauma in

South Africa is common owing to high ratesof violent crimes, including physical and

sexual assault, hijacking and domestic vio-lence.Eight out of 100 individuals will develop

Post Traumatic Street Disorder (PTSD) atsome time in their lives.This is more prevalent in women, who are

more than twice as likely as men to have thedisorder.TreatingPTSD is vital to preventing its de-

bilitating effects, saysSouthAfricanDepres-sion and Anxiety Group (Sadag) spokesper-son Cassey Chamber.“If left untreated PTSD can lead to depres-

sion, anxiety or panic disorders. It can alsolead to behaviour such as wanting to hurtoneself, alcohol and drug abuse, tiredness,stomach pains, diarrhoea, eating disorders,breathing problems or asthma, musclecramps, back aches, sleeping problems andheart problems,” she says.In the first half of this year, the Trauma

Centre provided over 4 000 people with trau-ma counselling services, says Van Reenen-Le Roux.This number is expected to exceed 6 000 by

the year end.

Treating trauma

While some are able to recover from atraumaasa consequenceof violencewithoutpsychological services, there are many oth-ers that need support to prevent traumaticresponses from affecting their lives nega-tively, Van Reenen-Le Roux explains.“Psychological services support people to

process their traumatic responses in an ap-propriate way, particularly when they feelisolated and vulnerable.“These services help people to come to

terms with the trauma and its impact ontheir lives so that they are able to functionadequately at work, school, with their fami-ly and in the community.“Unresolved trauma can have a devastat-

ing effect on people and their families’lives,” she says.Anyperson, family or group that has expe-

rienced trauma as a consequence of violencecan access the centre’s services, VanReenen-Le Roux says.A number of types of violence are ad-

dressed, such as suicide, domestic violence,sexual offences, armed robberies, physicalassault, hijacking, traumatic bereavement,gang violence, torture and xenophobia.“We also provide trauma debriefing serv-

ices for businesses which have experiencedan armed robbery, hijacking or other crime-related incident.“Frontline workers such as educators, po-

lice officers, social workers and communityleaders can access self-care programmes tocombat various trauma as a consequence ofexposure to violence on a daily basis,” shesays.Refugees and asylum seekers, farm work-

ers, farming communities, women and chil-dren, torture survivors and communityworkers are all given priority care, VanReenen-Le Roux says.“People can call, walk in or be referred for

counselling services.”

Healing processBetty* was in a violent relationship for

seven years, during which physical abusewas a daily experience for her and four ofher children.The children were so badly abused that

they had to be removed by a social worker,Betty says.“He used to beat me badly. One day I came

home from work and my children were be-ing taken away. I felt like the earth couldopen up and swallow me. I had such a holein my heart and fell into depression,” shesays.Leaving her partner and the city she was

living in was the only way she could get herchildren back, Betty explains.“I had to choose between my job or my

children,” she says.Since moving, Betty has accessed weekly

counselling.“This has really helped. It’s not easy and

the trauma doesn’t just go away,” she says.Depressive episodes still often sneakupon

her.“Something triggers it andeverything just

comes flooding back,” she says.“But in counselling, you can speak about

your true feelings. When you’re done witha session, you feel somuch better. I’m begin-ning to heal.”

Breaking the cycleBreaking the cycle of violence is also an

important part of theirwork,VanReenen-LeRoux says.More than 7 000 people received trauma-

psycho education last year.“Our biggest challenge is when violence

has become normalised and an accepted so-lution to all life’s challenges. It is difficultto change mindsets that are deeply en-trenched in supporting violent means.“Swearing may not be viewed as a violent

act even though it is abusive andhurtful andbullying affects so many schools, with someparents instructing their children to take re-venge by fighting back when they are bul-lied,” she says.The centre runs 15 school-based trauma

counselling services – in Elsies River,Manenberg, Belhar and Athlone – and com-munity trauma counselling clinics inManenberg, Belhar, the West Coast, Khay-elitsha and Woodstock.However, funding their work remains a

challenge, says Van Reenen-Le Roux.“Most funders prefer to fund projects

where there are tangible outcomes. Withtrauma counselling, it is difficult tomeasurethe impact of our work.“Professional, registered staff who are

competent and experienced to deal with theeffects of violence on an individual, familyor community’s level of psychological well-being are costly but worth the investment.“Violence is one of the prominent causes

of death and is a public health challenge glo-bally yet victim redress is often not a priori-ty,” she says.* Betty is an assumed name.

V The Trauma Centre has been selected as the charitybeneficiary of the People’s Post/TygerBurger Hot Sum-mer Groove concert which takes place at GrandWeston Saturday 6 December. Tickets to the event – whichfeatures performances by, among others, Alistair Izo-bell, Emo and Loukmaan Adams, Blackbyrd and Ram-aine Barreiro-Lloyd – cost R130 and R5 of each ticketsold will go to the organisation. As an added bonus,we will be giving away a car at the show. Tickets areavailable at Computicket.

Walk Away: you can be a heroMost children think of their school shoes asthe ultimate burden that completes adreary uniform.It represents 12 years of slog and formany

the first sign of freedom fromwearing thoseshoes is to relegate them to a pile of discard-ed clothes immediately after writing thatlast matric exam. Some may even think ofburning those shoes on a very high fire.But imagine the alternative if you didn’t

have those same school shoes to carry youthrough all the seasons – especially duringour cold winters when you have to negoti-ate puddles of rain?In some families children have to share

the same pair of shoes, with siblings takingturns to wear them.Hard to imagine, right? Not quite. This is

the reality for many children from less for-tunate backgrounds. Their parents simplydon’t have the means to scrape togetherenoughmoney for school shoes. So many ofthem go to school barefoot.You can be a hero. You can do so by sim-

ply leaving your school shoes at your deskafter you have written your last exam forthe year. Please ensure you ask your par-ents’ permission to do so. The shoes needto be in usable condition – nobody shouldwear broken shoes to school. Tie the shoestogether so the pairs are not lost when theyare boxed up.People’s Post requests that theshoes are boxed and ready for collection inthe new year.V Participating schools donating shoes can contactPeople’s Post at [email protected] with thewords “Walk Away” in the subject field.

MINSTRELS

A boost forlocal cultureAn historic pledge of financial and oth-

er support for the minstrels, Malayand Christmas choirs has been

signed.The signatories include mayor Patricia

de Lille and provincial minister of CulturalAffairs and Sport Dr NomafrenchMbombo.And in a first this year, this festive season’sminstrel carnival through the streets of thecity will be run by the minstrels them-selves.Mbombo stressed the importance of pre-

serving theWesternCape’s culture andher-itage. Among others, this gives the so-called“lost generation” a sense of belonging to aculture that is a source of pride, she says.The Department of Cultural Affairs and

Sport has promised its support by facilitat-

ing, regulating and supporting the newly-formed Cape Cultural Event and CarnivalCommittee and has pledged R2.37m to sup-port events that take place until April.“We are only the facilitators in this proc-

ess, and we urge citizens to express them-selves through the arts and their culture,”said department director for Arts, Cultureand Language Jane Stuurman-Moleleki.“We will give the committee ownership

of staging its own events but will still bethere to supportmembers andgive themthenecessary tools to make it work. Culture isembedded in the search for ‘who am I?’ Weneed to preserve the heritage of TweedeNu-we Jaar. Historically, this was the only dayslaves were allowed to be free and expressthemselves through song and dance.”

Post offices closed due to arrearsMALHERBE NIENABER

Some post offices in the Mother City haveapparently unexpectedly closed its doors asa result of rent arrears.It seems at least eight post offices across

the peninsula were closed by landlords lastTuesday.The South African Post Office reiterated

that it is experiencing a problem with cashflow, which contributed to the shuttingdown of the branches.Martie Gilchrist, provincial Post Office

spokesperson, said they had “discovered”that the rent for certain offices were notpaid.She said it was unclear how many

branches were affected, but the relevantbranches are mainly located in shoppingmalls.Die Burger recently reported on the Post

Office’s financial predicament, which in-cludes R500m loss in the past six months.Union members have also been on strike

the past four months.In addition, the board of the Post Office

resigned from their posts on Friday 7 No-vember.Gilchrist confirmed the following

branches have been closed: Sable Square;Blue Route Mall; Westgate Mall; OtteryCentre; Kenilworth Centre; RiversideMall; Cavalier Mall and Eerste River. – DieBurger

EMPLOYMENT

Making jobdreamscome trueNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

You might think only a fairy god-mother can help you land yourdream job.

But this is exactly the kind of businessObservatory-based organisation Dream-work specialises in.The NPO helps unemployed people

find their dream job, giving back theirconfidence and dignity.The initiative was started in 2008 as a

pilot project, explains the organisation’smarketer Charles Tshwane.“The researchers found that those

who are unemployed have low confi-dence and self-esteem. Getting a job gavethem a sense of dignity. The pilot projectwas a runaway success,” he says.Applicants are taken through a series

of one-on-one interviews to establish towhich occupation they are best suited.“We ask you what you dreamed of be-

ing as a child. We want the job to be anextensionof yourpersonality,”Tshwanesays.“However, not all who are unem-

ployed are looking for a job. We help un-employed people find jobs and extendour services to companies looking to findquality staff. We receive donations andgrants, and as a result all our servicesare free of charge.”Since startingup, the organisationhas

helped its clients earn R93m in wages,with over 16 500 people accessing theirservices.They also place any level of education

or expertise, Tshwane says.

“We offer support by advising clientson how to use theirwages to better them-selves, such as through obtaining driv-er’s licences,” he says.Paul Jumaad from Salt River is one of

the many who has found a placementthrough Dreamworker.Jumaad started volunteering at the or-

ganisation, but has now been placed inayear-long learnership at anadvertisingfirm.“I foundmy passion for helping people

andputting a smile of their faces. Iwouldnever have had this learning opportuni-ty without Dreamworker, and I’m hop-ing to go into marketing and magazinesales after I’ve completed the course,” hesays.Funding remains a challenge for the

organisation, Tshwane explains.“We used to have fieldworkers in

Khayelitsha, Imizamo Yethu and ElsiesRiver because we find unemployed peo-ple often don’t havemoney for transport.We’vehad to let themgobecauseof a lackof funding,” he says.However, this has not stopped the or-

ganisation from assisting underre-sourced communities, Tshwane says.Dreamworker also facilitates a project

with schools in disadvantaged areas. Adonation of R100 can be made under theLinks of Love programme, which willsee half donated to a school in Mitchell’sPlain or Hanover Park.The other half will form wages for a

communitymember to carry outmainte-nance work at the school.V Contact Dreamworker at (021) 448 5828 or vis-it dreamworker.org.za.

GIVING BACK: In order to help raise awareness for World Prematurity Day, Huggies on Monday 17November, donated 10 starter-kit hampers for moms who recently gave birth to premature babiesat the Groote Schuur Hospital’s Neonatal ICU ward. To further show their support for this cause,Huggies staff also took part in the annual Wear Purple for Preemie Day-campaign hosted by theNewborns Groote Schuur Trust by wearing purple and by buying stickers to help fund the upgradingof the Groote Schuur neonatal facilities.

HEALTH

Plea for organsNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Over 4 000 South Africans are urgentlyawaiting an organ transplant.

However, only 566 organ trans-plants were carried out last year.

This as the country faces an organ dona-tion transplant crisis with less than 0,2% ofthe population registered as organ donors.

Each donor is able to donate a heart, liverand pancreas, kidneys and lungs, whichcould save seven lives. In addition, corneadonations can restore a patient’s sight.

Children are especially hard hit by a lackof donors.

According to Dr Peter Nourse, a paediat-ric nephrology specialist at the Red CrossChildren’s Hospital, only three kidneytransplants took place at the hospital thisyear.

This a decrease of five from last year, anda significant drop from the average of 10 ayear historically performed at the facility.

Nourse believes this drop is due to a lackof donors.

Eight years ago, 12-year-old Robbie Laub-scher received a liver transplant.

He was born with biliary atresia – a con-genital liver disease in which the commonbile duct between the liver and the small in-testine is blocked or absent and which canlead to liver failure – and received a livertransplant at four, mother Milena Laub-scher explains.

“We thought we were prepared for thatcall saying he would receive a transplant,but we weren’t. It was absolutely terrifyingbecause so many things can go wrong,” shesays.

Robbie has since competed in the SouthAfrican and World Transplant Games, re-ceiving a number of medals for swimmingand cycling.

However, there are still hundreds of chil-dren who are still waiting for a transplant.

One of them is 14-year-old Agcobile Kosa-na, waiting for a heart transplant.

“She is no longer able to go to school orplay with other children, which is veryfrustrating for her,” says aunt LungiswaNdingi.

The family is on constant alert, Ndingisays, fearing the worst may happen at anymoment.

“We’re scared. Her heart could stop atany time. We always have to check on herbreathing and it’s very difficult for the fam-ily,” she says.

Ndingi is urging donors to come forward,either personally or on behalf of their fami-lies.

“Instead of someone just dying with alltheir organs, they can save so many lives.Even parents should donate their chil-dren’s organs – you will see what you havedone is a big thing,” she says.

Laubscher agrees, saying it costs nothingto save lives.

“We were given a second chance and wewere so grateful,” Laubscher says.

“But at the same timewewere aware thatanother family was grieving. It’s a verybrave thing to do.”

Shopping lists.Things to do.Deadlines to meet.

People to please.Gift lists to write, and then rewrite again.More shopping.Gentle reminders and invasive in-store jingle prompts

to buy, buy, buy.In townships, people are pondering what new lounge

suites to buy. The plastic will stay on at least until Easter,to protect the upholstery from excess.There will be no feet or sticky handprints on those

couches – at least until the plastic is removed.They’re probably already hanging the Christmas cur-

tains. And polishing the silverware that comes out onlytwice a year – at Christmas and again at Easter.Then there’s the outfit for Mom, Dad and kids.Maybe even the dog will get an outfit. In this new South

Africa anything is possible.The tree.The gifts – some still with cash slip intact to return on

Boxing Day, just in case the size or colour doesn’t satisfy.Appeals to support charities.Giving and getting. Dropping hints.Making do with little.Giving away even less.Perhaps the citizens of our fair city should consider sav-

ing some of their hard-earned pay. Or at the very leastmake a dent in their mounting debt.Do you really need a new lounge suite?Tone down, already. Temper the impulse to spendmon-

ey you worked so hard for on stuff you don’t need to im-press people you don’t like. Yes, we have all heard thatone before.So why step squarely into the same debt trap?The table doesn’t have to negotiate the burden of the

same winter menu that hints at pre-diabetes in the newyear. Give yourselves a break.

End Guy Fawkes madnessI cannot stand idly byandwatch the continu-ation of Guy Fawkes, which is nothingmorethana senseless, chaotic and, for some, dead-ly tradition.Many Capetonians associate Guy Fawkes

with bonfires and fireworks, as is custom inGreat Britain where Guy Fawkes Day origi-nated. Every year, the ‘celebration’ sparksmassive debate about the use of fireworks –usually with very strong opposing views.But for many residents on the Cape Flats,

the detonation of fireworks is the least oftheir concerns. For decades, communitieshave been terrorised by criminal elementsonGuyFawkesDay, and I think the timehascome to draw a line in the sand and say ‘nomore’.On Wednesday 5 November, reports were

surfacing as early as mid-morning of ma-rauding gangs of youths, running amok ontheCapeFlats. Schooling inanumberof sub-urbs, but Mitchell’s Plain and Bonteheuwelin particular, was badly affected as pupilsstayed home, fearful of falling victim tothese gangs who use anything at their dis-posal towreakhavoc and pilemisery on law-abiding, decent citizens.Where is the fun in covering people with

paint or shoe polish?What level-headed per-son can findmerriment andmirth in attack-ing someone with a stone-filled sock, eggs oreven faeces?How does the ‘celebration’ of Guy Fawkes

Day justify terrorising and robbing shop-keepers and informal traders?

While gangs are known to use the coverof Guy Fawkes Day for nefarious activities,themajority of these roamingmobs are com-prised of young children – some no olderthan six. This is of grave concern becauseit speaks to a level of dysfunction in our soci-ety. It is symptomatic of the deeper socio-economic ills that plague our city and coun-try. It is also symptomatic of the lack of pa-rental guidance and control in many of ourcommunities.For many, the automatic responses to the

terror of Guy Fawkes are ‘where are the po-lice?’ and ‘what are the authorities doing?’The real question should be: ‘Where are theparents, families and guardians of thosechildren who are holding communities toransom with their vile acts?’Respect for self and others starts in the

home and that’s where the buck needs tostop.I would like nothing more than to lobby

for a formal ban on Guy Fawkes Day, but Iam under no illusion a formal ban will morethan likely not put paid to this behaviour.Instead, it is up to communities to unmaskthese elements and their cowardice and tosend a strongmessage that their actionswillnot be tolerated.What we’re witnessing now is nothing

short of assault with intent to do grievousbodily harm.SUZETTE LITTLE,City of Cape Town Mayco member for Social Devel-opment and Early Childhood Development

Unite in fighton crimeI read an article in a community news-paper in which officials againmoanedabout crime being out of control andthat our police are under-resourced.The article said factors like gangs,

drug abuse, unemployment and poorparenting, theneed formoneyandper-ceptions about the justice systemwerevoted main contributors for crime.Dan Plato was quoted as saying that

“on average, there are between 45 and55 murders a week and about 95 rapesare reported a week”.That is terrifying and means life is

considered cheap.We should stop playing with statis-

tics.Weare the victimswhoare suffer-ing physically, financially, emotional-ly and spirituallybecauseour [govern-ment] is doing absolutely nothing tostop this wave of terror. Meetings andtalking is worthless as nothing re-sourceful gets implemented and thenext time we have meetings with thesame agenda but still nothing getsdone to protect the citizens.The captains appointed to protect us

against crime are tied by the same jar-gon and fruitless meetings that fadelike mist after the meetings have beenclosed. [Government, safety and secu-rity structures] and the public shouldstop this tsunami of barbaric crime,pray for our country and the wisdomto open police colleges to enrol hordesof men and women in blue and in do-ing so we have to reach the goal of be-coming a police state.Metro Police and Law Enforcement

agencies are to combine to resourcethis police state. Every reservist mustbe amalgamated into one strong policeforce and our matriculants should berecruited in our police force. It is timewe become “kragdadig” in the fightagainst crime because criminals haveno mercy if we fall into their clutches.Whenwehave this police state crim-

inals will realise crime does not pay.KEITH BLAKE,Ottery

EDUCATION

Call to change Quintile SystemA s the academic year draws to an end,

provincial education minister DebbieSchäfer has again called on the nation-

al education minister to amend its QuintileSystem.This after theprovincial educationdepart-

ment’s records showed that it will pay outmore than R44m to fee-paying schools in theprovince for school fee exemptions grantedlast year.The Quintile System determines how

much fundinga schoolwill receive fromgov-ernment. It divides schools into five differ-ent quintiles, which is determined by the ge-ographical location of the school. Schools inaffluent areas are usually placed in Quintile5, while a school in a rural area or townshipis usually placed in Quintile 1.This means a school which is located in

an affluent area, no matter the area wherethe pupils live, will determine the ultimatefunding of a school. Schools inQuintile 1 areno-fee schools, which means the school is

run solely on government funding.In a statement, Schäfer says: “While I am

pleased that we have been able to assist ourschools in providing fee compensation forfee exemption for some of our poorer [pu-pils], the reality is that there are a growingnumber of parentswho simply cannot affordto pay school fees. This is an unfortunateconsequence of our ailing economy. As aconsequence, more has to be done to assistthe poor and our schools serving poor com-munities.”If the school fees aremore than 10%of par-

ents’ combined annual salary, they qualifyfor fee exemption.They can also apply for partial exemption

if the fees are between 2% and 10% of theirannual salary, depending on the number ofchildren they have at a fee-paying, publicschool. “A successful application for fee ex-emption ultimately means that the parent isexempted from paying school fees. There-fore, that schoolwill not receive that specific

pupil’s school fees, which places strain onthe schools finances,” Schäfer explains.“While we recognise the important role

which fee exemptions play in granting ac-cess to the poor and relief in tough economictimes, we are also cognisant that many ofour schools are struggling financially andaredependent on the collectionof school feesto sustainvariousprojects, resources or gov-erning body staff establishments.”Since provincial government’s decision to

financially support no-fee schools in 2011, ithas paid out over 100%more than four yearsago. “I, therefore, again appeal to [nationaleducation] minister Angie Motshekga toamend the Quintile System. In the WesternCape we have tried to alleviate the effects of

the system by allowing some schools inQuintile 4 to apply to be no-fee schools,”Schäfer says.“However, as a result of our own financial

constraints, we cannot expand this furtherthis year. Fee compensation has providedsome assistance, but we ultimately need tochange the current Quintile System forschools that genuinely serve poor [pupils] toreceive the requisite support from nationalgovernment.”She adds the suggestion will not erase all

fee exemptions in theprovince, “but itwouldcertainly help many parents who cannot af-ford to pay school fees, as well as schools inQuintile 4 and 5 which are struggling finan-cially because of non-payment of fees”.

Job scamsters on the prowlAnew job scamhas emerged in the past fewweeks, which is affecting some hospitalsaround the province.Provincial healthminister Theuns Botha

warns residents that random SMS messag-es have been sent to citizens which requirethem to deposit an amount of money intoan account for them to secure jobs – and tothen present it at a hospital.He says adverts have also been placed in

local newspapers.Helderberg, Valkenberg,Groote Schuur and Lentegeur hospitalshave been targeted in the scam.“People have been caught unaware and

when they present it to one of the hospitals,

they realise itwas a scamand theyhave lostthe money they deposited,” Botha warns.“This has been reported to the police for

investigation. This is a very cruel offence;–to falsely excite job seekers and to rob themof their money on top of it – taking advan-tage of those who are desperately seekingjob opportunity.”All departmental recruitment is done via

community newspapers and the depart-ment website (www.westerncape.gov.za)for departmental vacancies, a departmentstatement says. An official Z83 form willneed to be completed. No government postswould require payments.

CAPE DANCE COMPANY

Dancing fortwo decadesThe Cape Dance Company

is celebrating its 20th an-niversary season at the

Artscape Theatre fromThursday 27 November toSaturday 6 December.

Two new works will be pre-sented by Christopher L Hug-gins from the USA – Blue, anall-male ballet, and In theMir-ror of HerMind, a pas de quat-re. Huggins has a long-stand-ing relationship with thecompany, having stagedthree of his ballets on thecompany since 2010, most no-tably the award-winning Ene-my Behind The Gates and Bo-lero.

The season is again diverseand exciting, showcasing theversatility of the companydancers. Blue is a transcend-ent work that is a moving ex-ploration into maleness –their physicality and psyche,and their immediate associa-tion with the colour blue. Thecrisp lyrical patterns andmeditative atmosphere givesway to unadorned physicali-ty, with razor-sharp turnsand sudden drops; the tran-quillity of dancers silhouet-ted against blue light is lacer-ated with shafts of white lightas themen break away to sep-arate solos and groups.Danced to music by ArvoPart, Ryuichi Sakamoto and Steve Reich,this work is full of driven, glorious dance.In the Mirror of Her Mind was originally

premiered by the Dance Theatre of Harlemin 2011 inNewYorkCity. Threemen and onewoman dance to Henryk Gorecki’s Sympho-ny No. 3, Opus 36 in which a woman reflectson the loves and losses of her lifetime. Thework is a semi-abstract exploration inwhichthe protagonist is set on a path of realisingher true nature, enriched by half-hidden im-plications and rich emotion.

Blue will close with Huggins’ show-stop-pingBolero that the company premiered lastyear at Artscape. Set in an abstract andsmoky atmosphere, the ballet is evocativeand tempestuous; danced by a cast of 12 withthrilling pas de deux set to Ravel’s pulsatingscore.V Performances run from Thursday 27 November untilSaturday 6 December at 20:00 in the Artscape Thea-tre, with a matinee on Saturday 6 December at 15:00.Tickets cost R140 to R160 with booking via Computick-et or Artscape Dial-A-Seat (021) 421 7695.

The Swell is a story of two unusual charac-ters whomeet under even stranger circum-stances.Marie Walters identifies as a mermaid,

and when she makes a medical aid claimfor the loss of her tail it’s up to the compa-ny’s StrangeClaims officer, HowardFawls,to track down the reclusive Marie and in-vestigate.Did her tail ever exist at all? This encoun-

ter raises and interrogates questions ofhow bodies, both tangible and fantastical,are treated in contemporary South Africa.The Swell is a piece of magical realism,

which takes the audience into the realm ofpossibility where identity can be altered oredited; fantasy can be indulged in; and thelines between fact and fiction can be dis-torted. Grounded in the mythology of mer-maids and fantastical sea creatures, TheSwell explores ideas of loss and transforma-tion.The show runs at 19:00 until Saturday 6

December at Alexander Upstairs Theatre.Tickets areR100 at the door orR90 if boughtinadvance fromalexanderbar.co.za/show/swell. Phone (021) 300 1652.

WIN DINNER AND MEET ALISTAIR, EMO AND LOUKMAAN!

Time to get your groove onGARY VAN DYK

@gvdcapejazz

There’s a buzz in the air asCape Town gets ready for agroove that will set the

tone for a fantastic festive sea-son.On Saturday 6 December the

beat will be taking place with amusical extravaganza, featur-ing the cream of Cape Town art-ists on one grand stage.Headline Entertainment in

associationwithHeart 104.9FM,People’s Post and TygerBurgerwill host the Hot SummerGroove concert at the Grand-West Arena and it should not bemissed.Taking to the stage are some

talents that need very little in-troduction to local music loversand actually started in the busi-ness almost as toddlers.Manymoons ago inMitchell’s

Plain the father of Emo andLoukmaan Adams started theKinners Vannie Ses project (it isstill going strong) and the tinytalents that were featured inthis show included RamaineBarreiro and Alistair Izobell.The rest, as they say, is histo-

ry with Emo, Loukmaan andAlistair eventually getting in-volved with the Kramer/Pe-tersen productions. All of themplayed the role of Broertjie inDistrict Six – TheMusical at onestage.They were also part of the

phenomenal Kat and the Kingsthat toured internationally andwon a Laurence Olivier Awardin London.Alistair smiles when he re-

calls those heady days whenthey were performing and tour-ingwith the best on the local en-tertainment scene.“The Rockets and Al Etto

played a big part in taking ourtalent to another level, eventhough we were so young,” hesaid.“Loukman and myself were

part of a tour to Japan as partof Ricardo and Friends. Whenwe got back we were joined byEmo and Ramaine who addedanother dimension to oursounds and we were encour-aged to form the group Nu Fan-cy.“This was about 1990, and we

first recorded with the Rocketsand then on our own. Remem-ber that the recording studiowas next to Club Fame in ElsiesRiver.”Looking back Alistair feels

that this start into the enter-tainment business made them

realise their destiny.“I think after a few years we

realised this iswhatwewere de-signed to do with our lives. Allof us had music in our back-grounds,” he said.“The Adams’ always had

some people practising therefor the minstrels or the MalayChoirs. They participated inthose competitions from young.“At Ramaine’s place the

whole family loved music; shewas always singing to them.And in mine there were somany family members whoplayed music but I am the onethat took to it professionallyand have no regrets.”The international connec-

tions and accolades also cameearly for some of this crew, asAlistair explains.“When we were 12-year-olds,

Loukman and myself workedwith Stevie Wonder, BJ Tho-mas, Jonathan Butler and vari-ous groups like Atlantic Starand Imagination sowewere justmotivated to keep going fromthat early age,” he says.“Then came the Kramer/Pe-

tersen years and the experienceis something that stays withyou forever. This experience al-so gave us the confidence to findour individual paths in our mu-sic andwe all haveworked hardto make a success in our ca-reers.”He laughs at the thought that

Hot Summer Groove is a “reun-ion” concert. “Noman,we’re alla bit different musically andeach of us has grown into a tal-ent that can stand on its own.But we’ve always remainedfriends, we’ve been there foreach other and performed ineach others’ productions overthe years,” he explains.The concert will also be fea-

turing the Sama-nominated fe-male vocal group Black-byrd.And the Take Note band will

be on stage to back these talent-ed artists.If youbuya ticket to this show

you will stand a chance of win-ning a brandnewcar – the latestFAW V2 1.3. All tickets go intoa lucky draw and the winner onthe night will drive away intheir new car. This event is partof a fundraising effort and R5 ofeach ticket will be donated totheTraumaCentre inZonneblo-em. One couple can win dinnerfor two and get to meet the starsof the show on the night.

Beasts continue unbeaten runSTEVLIN MALGAS

Cape Town All Stars let yet another derbymatch slip through their fingers whenthey played to a 1-1 stalemate with FC

Cape Town at the Athlone Stadium on Fridayevening.Coach Boebie Solomons was left haplessly

looking to the stars as his charges lacked com-posure in the final third to secure their firsthome victory.The seventh Cape Derby of the season start-

ed off at a blistering pace, with the FC CapeTown outmuscling their hosts in the openingexchanges.Stars were shining the brightest in the 40th

minute when midfielder Zaphaniah Mboko-ma gave his side the lead against his formerteam. The host took a 1-0 lead into the breakas the African Beasts were left licking theirwounds.Stars continued where they left off and

started the second half the brightest. Howev-er, following two quick substitutions for theAfrican Beasts, it was Sibusiso Masina whofound the back of the net for the visitors to lev-el matters nine minutes into the second half.The game soon opened up as both teams

searched for the winner and although Starshad more clear-cut chances, they failed capi-talise on them to regain the lead. Meanwhile,the visitors had their chances as well, butwere denied by the heroics of goalkeeper KylePeters.With neither side able break the deadlock,

1-1 is how it ended as the twoCape sides addedto their draw masters reputation. The resultsaw FC Cape Town record their eighth drawin eleven matches, while Stars are not far offwith seven draws. CapeTownFootball Face-book page

HOME SAFE: WP Cubs (under-11A) player Imaad Khan dislodges the bails in vain, as Boland under-11A batsman Shaun-D Wagenaar makesit back safely. The sides met in WP/Boland Day encounter at Boston Primary School in Bellville on Sunday. Province won by six wickets.
