AR1.5m refurbishment project at Home-stead Park is expected to be completedby the end of the month.

The entire site is considered to be ofGradeII significance and the portion on which thebarn is located is a declared provincial heri-tage site, explains Johan van der Merwe,Mayco member for energy, environmentaland spatial planning.

It was previously a national monumentunder prior legislation and the site is seento have historical, architectural, urban, so-cial and archaeological value, he says.

“The barn is the only remaining buildingremnant of the original Oranjezicht farmhomestead and outbuildings, which were

constructed by the Van Breda family be-tween 1769 and 1777. It was originally partof a larger farm structure adjacent to themain homestead. Other surviving historicelements include the surrounding werfwalls, a fruit weighing scale and a bell towerto the north of the barn,” he says.

The refurbishment comes as part of a Con-servation Management Plan (CMP) for theoverall Homestead Park site, prepared in2014.

The plan set out a conservation strategyand identified various maintenance actionsnecessary to ensure that the site’s culturalsignificance is retained, Van der Merwesays.

“A heritage architect was subsequentlyappointed to determine the required scopeof restoration work to the barn and to moni-

tor the work on site. Indawo Cape are pres-ently contracted to the City of Cape Town forthe maintenance of various City buildingsand the Homestead Barn repairs are beingdone through this appointment,” he says.

“A conceptual development frameworkhas been prepared for the site as part of theCMP. This provides a holistic long-term vi-sion for the gradual upgrade and improvedutilisation of the precinct. TheCity is under-taking phased maintenance work in linewith this framework. During 2015, repairswere done to the historic Stadsfontein vaultand the current repairs to the barn are partof thenext project taking place to realise thisvision.”

The current work is aimed at repairingstructural damage to the walls and address-ingmaintenance requirements suchas lime-

washing, basic repairs, treatment of timberelements as well as the replacement of theexisting asbestos roofwith appropriate slatetiles.

As remnant historic fabric, the barnmakes an important contribution to thecharacter and significance of the site, Vander Merwe says. “The appropriate mainte-nance of the building will enable its contin-ued use as a community facility (it is cur-rently leased by the Scouts) and will ensureits preservation for the future. A permit hasbeen issued from Heritage Western Cape(HWC) and the work is overseen on-site bya qualified heritage architect and engineer.A closeout report detailing the findings andrecording the underlying fabric and mainte-nance actions will be submitted to HWC up-on completion of the work.”

A fun day was held forchildren at the ServiceDining Room in CanterburyStreet on Sunday 12 June,organised by the “SouperTroopers”.Souper Troopers are agroup of “like­mindedindividuals” who meetonce a month to give outsoup, sandwiches, clothes,toiletries and any otherform of nourishment tothe homeless and “anyonewho could do with somelove and attention”.PHOTO: LERATO MADUNA/FOTO24

"IF EVERY MAN HELPS HIS NEIGHBOUR,THEN WHO WILL NEED HELP?"

X1RH6UW2-QK140616

Catch all the local newsANDRÉ BAKKES

@andrebakkes

What if People’s Post wasn’t a newspaper,but a broadcasting agency?

What if you weren’t bound to listen to hy-per-local news impacting on the suburb youlive in, but rather the southern suburbs asa whole?

Would this contradict what People’s Poststands for?

Followers of the newspaper on Facebookwould have noticed a new feature – a weeklywrap-up video – posted every Tuesday. Inthis short video some of the articles that ap-pear in the newspaper are highlighted, giv-ing you the biggest weekly news from thesouthern suburbs in bite-sized chunks.Some broadcasters bring you global news,some focus on a particular city, but no-onetargets a relatively small area such as thesouthern suburbs.

This means, of course, that the newspapercontinues to set the bar of hyper-local con-tent across all mediums.

The same concept has been embraced byTygerBurger, People’s Post’s sister publica-tion in the northern suburbs.

One of TygerBurger’s journalists, Bren-den Ruiter, asked himself how one couldspread the news in a digital world, and makeit as easy as possible for Facebook users tostay up to date.

“The answer was simple. Why not a week-ly news bulletin? We started a few weeks agoand the video’s popularity is for all to see.It’s still a work in progress, of course, withfiner details still being ironed out.”

A couple of minutes a week to stay up todate with news headlines? The viewer’s con-venience is clearly the watch word.

Another imminent adoption will be therolling text at the bottom, which will meanone can watch the video with no sound if nec-essary.

In essence it is a news broadcast with avery brief description of the chosen articles.If one snippet piques your interest then youcan read more about it on the newspaper’sfree website under the News24 domain.People’s Post journalist and bulletin pre-

senter Samantha Lee says the additionalchallenge has been an exciting venture thusfar.

“It is no secret that news and the mediaare moving into a digital space. This venturehelps us satisfy the news needs of those onthe move and assists our journalists in tell-ing the inspiring stories of others that maynot have made it into the readers’ relevanteditions. The response thus far is an indica-tion that this truly is a step in the right direc-tion for our publications.”

Find People’s Post on Facebook and lookout for “This Week in ...” on a Tuesday after-noon at 17:00.

Samantha Lee presents “This Week in ...”, which can be found weekly on People’s Post’sFacebook page.

Finalists will be notified by 15 August andwill thereafter be featured in People’s Post.

The winner in each category will be an-nounced at a special High Tea held on 1 Oc-tober on International Older Persons Day.

Wonderful prizes will be awarded to showthe appreciation and af-firmation to our three fi-nalists in each categoryas well as the peoplewho nominated the win-ners.V Nomination forms can bedownloaded from www.spec­savers.co.za or the People’sPost Facebook page.

to vote but also “be involved in the processand structures of democracy by claimingspaces they occupy and not just complainand burn tyres and facilities”.

The campaign alsoaims to engage young peo-ple in conversation abouttheir concerns or the is-sues they face and to col-lectively find solutionsfor them. These conversa-tions will then be expand-ed through a series ofcommunity workshopsand dialogues planned forthe near future.

Camps bay police havewarned residentsto bevigilant followinga spike inhouse

break-ins.Officers have arrested one suspected

member of the gang – dubbed the “windowgang” – but say incidents continue to takeplace.The gang uses a blowtorch to heat the

aluminium around windows, explainsCamps Bay police station commanderCaptain Delicia Isaacs.This allows them to “very neatly” re-

move the window and gain access to thehome, she says.The burglars only steal TVs and small

appliances.There have been as many as two dozen

incidents in the precinct over the lastmonth, Isaaca says, compared only a

handful last year.“It’s the first time we’ve seen this type

of modus operandi,” she says.The station has deployed a team towork

on the case 24/7 and they have alreadynabbed one suspect, from Joe Slovo,Isaacs says.Residents are cautioned to ensure their

home alarm systems are working proper-ly, Isaacs says.“Theymust activate their systems at all

times and any alarm activations must betreated seriously. When the alarm compa-ny or armed response officer responds toan alarm activation, it is essential thattheymust carry out a full perimeter checkwith police officers,” she says.Any alarm activationsmust be reported

to the Camps Bay police control room at086 10111, as this will enable the police torespond to the alarm call with the armedresponse company, she adds.

Two surfers have been commended by theNational Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) forsaving a woman who was swept out to seain Kommetjie earlier this year.Surfers Nic Bothma and Abdurahman

Faratwere awarded the chief executive offi-cer’s Letter of Appreciation at the recentNSRI AGM and awards ceremony for therescue of Nazley Davids.The awards ceremony recognised the

contribution of the volunteer Sea Rescuecrew, aswell as otherswhowent beyond thecall of duty.Davids, a 38-year-old fromWalmerEstate,

was at Kommetjie beach with her family onSaturday 2 January where she was boogey-boarding in knee-deep water.The backwash of a strong rip current

swept her out to sea, and before her familycould react she was already out of reach.They raised the alarm.“I didn’t realise I was being swept out un-

til I felt nothing under my feet,” Davidssays.The current took her roughly 2km out to

sea, and Davids, who lost her boogey board,tried to float just to survive, praying the en-tire time.“I couldn’t see the shore. I didn’t even

know which direction I was facing. I wasconvinced it would be my funeral the nextday.”Bothma had arrived at the beach to surf

whenhewas approached by amanwho saidhe had found a boogey boardwashed up andthere was someone lost out at sea.“I was already in my wetsuit, so I said:

‘Let me help’. I decided to paddle out andlook for her and told her family to call theNSRI.”

Bothma paddled out beyond the breakers,but couldn’t see Davids. He eventuallystopped andwatched the way the water wasmoving, which was when he had the ideato follow the current.After spending 40 minutes in the water,

the cold and fatigue started to set in and Da-vids started experiencing pain in her legs.“I decided to try paddle for a bit, but I

didn’t knowhow long Iwould be able to pad-dle for because I was so tired. That’s whenI saw Nic approaching on his surfboard,”she says.After paddling for several hundred me-

tres, Bothma spotted a little black dot in thesea.“At first I thought it was a bird, but went

towards it anyway,” he says.Bothma reached Davids and pulled her

onto his surf board, giving her his hoodieto help her keep warm.Farat joined them after, and helped them

paddle towards shore while awaiting theNSRI Kommetjie sea rescue craft.The craft rescuedher and took the surfers

to shore.Davids was treated for mild hypothermia

and exhaustion and drowning symptomsbefore being released to her family.Bothma says he gave no thought to his

own safety when setting out. “I’m prettycomfortable in the ocean and wasn’t tooworried about myself. I just didn’t want totell her family that I hadn’t found her. I de-cided I would stay out until dark to searchfor her if I needed to,” he says.To Bothma, the real heroes are those who

go rescue others everyday. “I’m sohumbledto receive this award from the NSRI.They’re the real guardians of the sea, madeup of volunteers that put their lives at risk.Seeing the relief on the faces of Nazley’sfamily is all the recognition I need.”

Young talents in dance and song will be at theArtscape Arena until Saturday to pay tributeto Christopher Kindo, South African award-winning dancer and choreographer.

Kindo, one of the co-founders of the JazzartDance Academy in Cape Town, passed awayin April last year and it was a sad loss to theSouth African creative sector.

Natalia da Rocha, from the Applauz ArtsInitiative, is one of the organisers of Full Cir-cle – a Tribute to Christopher Kindo in recog-nition of his vast contribution to the culturalreservoir of Cape Town’s creative sector.

“As Applauz Arts Initiative we feel hon-oured to be part of this event because Kindoworked with us on two of our productions,”

she says.“Along with his family and his friends we

are coming together to celebrate the life ofthis creative spirit, friend, son, uncle, broth-er, youth developer, mentor, choreographerand dancer.”

Natalia also explains this is the inauguralproduction of The Legacy Project at Artscapeto honour some of the legends in the arts.

“It is so apt for this to happen during themonth of June when the entire country is fo-cussing on our youth,” continues Natalia.

“Christopherdevelopedyoungdancers andhe was their mentor. He went beyond beingjust a ’dance teacher’. He fed some of his stu-dentswhen theyarrivedhungryat the studio.He knew that you cannot teach a hungrychild.”

After graduating in the ’70s from UCT Bal-let School Kindo had his eyes set on being thefirst person of colour to dance in then CAPABdance company. But this never happened andhe went and joined the Boston Ballet Compa-ny for a year.

Young performers who have crossed pathswith him during his career will be featuredon the tribute.

“Aviwe November is one such dancer whowill pay tribute to Kindo with a piece he cho-reographed,” adds Natalia.

“The doyen of contemporary dance inSouth Africa, Adele Blank, as well as herdaughter, Natalie Fisher, are also part of thistribute.

“It will be an audio-visual variety showwith his favorite songs being sung in theshow by one of our Applauz candidates, 17-year-old Matric student Lauren Hendricks.

“One of his favourite singers was PP Ar-nold (Kafunta) and she will be singing Ar-nold’s version of the classic ‘Eleanor Rigby’.”

The proceeds of this event will go into aChristopher Kindo Trust Fund to support ayoung male dancer from a marginalised com-munity that wishes to study dance at any ofthe accredited institutions.

Performances start tonight (Tuesday) from19:00 with a 15:00 matinée on Thursday 16June and on Saturday 18 June.V Book through Computicket or Dial­a­seat on021 421 7695.

Emile YX? goes internationalLOUISA STEYL

@LouSteyl

He’s a community activist, an ed-ucator, a father, a husband and

a hip-hop artist.Emile YX? – or Emile Jansen as

his family know him – is nostranger to Cape Town and SouthAfrican hip-hop fans. In fact, theBlack Noise founding member hasbeen instrumental in growing thelocal hip-hop scene.

But his many achievements willbe introduced to an internationalaudience later this year whenBreak like You, a documentaryabout his work, will be screened atthe inaugural New York Hip-HopFilm Festival.

“The documentary producers in-terviewed various people andheard about my story from somepeople and they just approachedme about telling my story,” Emileexplains of the short film shot byMehreen Afzal and Melissa House,as part of the Barefoot Workshops,last year.

“It’s a very honest story aboutbeing a community activist, fa-ther, husband, artist, educatorthrough arts and culture and howhealing canhappen throughgivingof oneself.”

The film comes off the back of abusyperiod forEmilewhorecentlywon the SABC 3 breakfast showEs-presso’s Mandela Monday Awardalong with a LeadSA Hero Awardin April.

He’s also just sent five dancers tocompete at Battle VNR in Franceand has just wrapped up PositivePoster Week, a campaign run

through his Heal the Hood project.Emile started Heal the Hood as

a community organisation in 1998with the aim to “change minds tochange action”. The non-profit or-ganisation has since grown fromstrength to strength, raising mon-ey to help send 194 performers tointernational competitions overthe years.

The organisation’s focus thisyear is on eight schools and twocommunity centres on the CapeFlats where they inspire youngpeople to become “artistically ac-tive” through songs, music videosand books.

“We are also focussing our ener-gies on changing the negative dia-logue that dominates the Cape

Flats youth to a positive one of out-comes and action.”

Emile’s own artistic journeystarted with breakdancing, beforehe went on to try his hand at graffi-ti, beatboxing and rapping – all ele-ments of hip-hop culture. Dancingis what first attracted him to theculture and he says it challengedhis fear of people seeing him “inthe middle of a circle”.

“Without me knowing it, it wasabout me finding me and showingmyself to the world.”

As a man of few words, whenEmile found himself writing, hesays he knew he had to do some-thing about it. This is a philosophythat he’s carried throughout his ca-reer and why he now calls himself

a “reactionary activist”.“We did not have a space, so we

took action and danced on thestreets,” he says. “We took actionto teach each other, ourselves, andthat’s activism.”

When Emile and his crew foundthemselves with no events to per-form at, they created their own, be-fore creating competitions andthen touring; first nationally andthen internationally. With no“how-to” guide, they printed theirown CDs, DVDs and books and cre-ated their own production to beable tomakea living fromtheir art.

It was the beginning of whatwould become a vibrant South Af-rican hip-hop culture. “We areproud to say that we played a rolein making that dream a reality formany people today. My main rea-son was always about my creativedesire to make new things. To man-ifest the word and show youth thatwith determination and persever-ance anything is possible.”

Emile’s contributions tohis com-munity have been highlightedmost recently throughhisMandelaMonday Hero award and LeadSAaward, but last year he was alsochosen as the face of the MoshitoMusic Conference where he wasawarded for his contribution tohip-hop and the year before sawhim winning an Honorary Awardat the South African Hip-HopAwards.

His work is about more thanawards through. “As a citizen, it ismy duty to take action on civic is-sues. It is the very foundation ofour responsibility we have to-wards each other and then collec-

tively as a nation to manifest realdemocracy with informed deci-sions.”

For Emile, this also means lead-ing by example and “not just talk-ing about change, but takingactionto make it real.”

The action-taker will soon beheading to America to see his sonand wife who are with her familyin Ohio, before heading to the NewYork Hip-Hop Film Festival. He’llbe back in Cape Town in mid-Au-gust to host the Cape Flats FilmFestival before going into studio towork on his ninth solo album. Alsoon his agenda for the rest of theyear are his first DVD compilationmade up of music videos and abook about Black Noise and hip-hop inCapeTown.He’s also consid-ering a doctorate in Education andHip-Hop Pedagogy at an interna-tional university.

Emile will participate in a Q&Asession after the screening ofBreak likeYouandwill beusing theopportunity to invite internationalfilm makers to participate in Healthe Hood projects and the CapeFlats Hip-Hop Film Festival sched-uled for December.

He’s also assistingBreak likeYouproducers Mehreen Afzal and Mel-issa House with fundraising fortheir New York trip and to turn thedocumentary into a full length fea-ture.

Fans can catch Emile in actionwhen he performs on SABC 3’sJam Sandwich on Thursday 14 Ju-ly.V Anybody interested in helping withEmile’s fundraising efforts can contact himat emileyx@gmail.com or 082 395 8125.

The Cape of Good Hope SPCA (CoGHSPCA) launched their newly construct-

ed state-of-the-art facility on Thursday lastweek.Patrons, animal guardians and sponsors

were given a preview of the new facility, theconcept of which was introduced duringlast year.Excited furry friends greeted visitors and

animal lovers on Thursday as they wel-comed them to their comfortable newcondi-tions.The premises in Grassy Park now hosts

the largest adoption kennel of its kind inSouth Africa – with bells and whistles.Longstandinganimal guardianGayleSly-

per sharedherpersonal experiencewith theSPCA.“I am very excited about this shelter. I en-

courage people to become involved by do-nating to our animal shelters. Our four-leg-ged friends need the help,” she says.CoGH SPCA CEO Allan Perrins says:

“With ever more animals requiring a safehaven from abuse and abandonment, theCoGH SPCA forged ahead with the con-structionmid-2015. Thedecision to invest ina redevelopment was seen as a vital movein securing the future sustainability of theorganisation as a whole.”He says the older buildings were over 20

years old and as such various structuralproblems were beginning to negatively af-fect the “overall efficacy of the facility andin order to best serve the animals an over-haul was necessary”.Build-A-WayBuildersworked in conjunc-

tion with Rennie Scurr Adendorff Archi-

tects to bring the vision of a 21st centurykennel into reality.Adendorff says the facility integrates

modern, state-of-the-art animal care habi-tats and support systems with a design thatmirrors the desired operational flow of peo-ple and animals into and out of the facility.The facility hosts quarantine, pre-adop-

tion and adoption pods which can accom-modate 300 individual animals.Before, due to space constraints, the

CoGH SPCA hosted up to three small dogsin one kennel.“We are able to reduce the risk of kennel

stress by giving each animal in our care aspace to call their own while still encourag-ing a degree of controlled socialisation. Thedogs and cats will now also be enjoying un-derfloor heating and improved biosecuritywhich will help us control the spread ofdeadly diseases,” says Belinda Abraham, astaffer at the SPCA.The furry friends also have dog beds

which are raised above floor level so thatthey do not sleep on the cold cement.Possible adoption families will also be

given the opportunity to go through anadoption process where they are taken pri-vately into an adoption room, where an as-sessment is done, to ensure that familiesadopt a pet that is best suited for theirhome.Possible fur parents also have the option

to familiarise themselves with a candidatepet in a viewing room instead of visiting thekennels, which could become overwhelm-ing.Each dog is also provided with a comfort-

able and hygienic dog beds thanks to Coola-roo Pet Beds.V To enquire about adoptions please call Kim on021 700 4152 or email adoptions@spca­ct.co.za

“True freedom is an inside job.”This is what SevaUnite in Claremont be-

lieves.Theyhavebeen teachingprisonersyo-ga for the past six years. SevaUnite’s PrisonFreedom Project teaches yoga and mindful-ness in prisons to alleviate suffering and re-duce crime.“The affirming, healing and rehabilitative

benefits of yoga, related breathing and relax-ation practices for people living in stressfulenvironments are profound. Yoga can bringpeople to a state of oneness, unity, acceptanceand love, with ourselves and for all thosearoundus,” saysLeelaCodron, SevaUnite co-founder.The non-profit organisation practices yoga

with prisoners at Pollsmoor Prison in Tokaieveryday for an hour. A class has an averageof 15 to 35 people.

“We’re interested in the power that yogahas, to help an individual transform from theinside. Overwhelmingly, prisons are not re-habilitation centers but places of violence,shame and punishment. And since 60 – 90%of inmates commit crimes within threemonths of release, we wanted to try and cre-ate a different world where upon release, ex-cons become contributing members of socie-ty,” says Codron.Codron says in a country where people are

completely overpowered and bombarded byviolence and crime, they felt that doing thiswork is so critical in trying to make a differ-ence to the future of South Africa.“Not everyone incarcerated deserves to be

forgotten about. There is an extremely largeprisoner population that is creative, pur-poseful, kind and useful to society – they justneed assistance in being able to tap into theirinherent selves, to re-assess what they thinkthey are about, what they think they know.

True freedom lies within, and weare interested in helping other fel-low human being really unlocktheir potential.”SevaUnite hopes to change in-

mates one prisoner at a time.“We teach one yoga class. An in-

mate is inspired. He receives thefreemanual, starts to teach himselfand then to teach others throughour free correspondence course.One inmate can inspire hundreds!It’s simple. We provide inmateswith the tools of yoga and mindful-ness practices – through classes,correspondence courses and men-torship.With regular practice, theydevelop self-awareness, forgive-ness and personal responsibility.This experience is so profoundlytransformative, that they are in-spired to share these practices withtheir fellow prisoners,” says Cod-ron.

Finding freedom behind bars

SevaUnite teaches prisoners yoga as they believe truefreedom is an inside job and yoga helps prisoners reachto their inner selves.

Give responsiblycampaign growsAs it rolls out its annual Winter Drive, the

Cape Town Central City ImprovementDistrict (CCID) is calling Capetonians toshow they care by giving responsibly and bytreating all people like ... well, people.According to Pat Eddy, social develop-

ment manager of the CCID, the most impor-tant thing the public can do as winter hitsthe Cape is to “show you care”.“This is the cornerstone of everything our

fieldworkers do to assist street people, be-cause there are so many things that canmake a difference to someone’s life.”This is alsowhat drives theGiveResponsi-

bly call to action developed by the CCID in2008 to encourage thosewhowanted tomakea difference to the lives of street people tosupport the NGOs in and around the CapeTown CBD.Part of this call to action each year is the

CCID’s Winter Drive campaign.This year, the public can help by using a

simple phone app to donate whatever theycan afford to the NGO partners with whomthe CCID works closest.These NGOs assist adults living on the

streets with shelter (when it is available), aswell as food and other social services and en-sure that children are afforded the necessa-ry care and protection as well as rehabilita-tion programmes.They include The Carpenter’s Shop, The

Haven, The Homestead, Ons Plek, SalesianInstitute Youth Projects and Straatwerk.The CCID’s Winter Drive campaign has

enabled the organisation over the years tocollect and redistribute hundreds of thou-

sands of randsworth of public donations, in-cluding monetary contributions as well asclothing, food, toiletries and other essen-tials.“The public really want to help, but often

just don’t know how. Each year, as we rollout the campaign, we look for ways to makeit as easy as possible for people to show theycare,” explains Eddy.“Since 2012, we’ve driven monetary dona-

tions via an SMS number and this option isstill available to people who want to donatein this manner.“But last year we introduced a Snapscan

option to Give Responsibly which now alsoappears on our poster campaign. Withinhours of the posters going up this week,we’ve already seen a remarkable update indonations being made.”This is enabled via a giant QR code that

allows a member of the public to “snap” anddonate the amount of their choice using asmartphone.Every cent, bar a transaction fee of 3c for

each rand,will go directly to theCCID’s part-ner NGOs on this project. The app, availablefor iOS, Android and Blackberry, can bedownloaded at www.snapscan.co.za.Eddy concludes: “Everyday acts of kind-

ness can addup to increased social cohesion.But if you feel hopeless and don’t knowwhattodo tohelp street peoplebeyond interactingwith them, that’s okay.”V SMS “Give” to 38088 to donate R10. An averageof R8 goes to the NGOs, depending on your serviceprovider. Visit www.giveresponsibly.co.za for EFT bank­ing details and more info on the call to action.

ment manager of the CCID, the most impor-tant thing the public can do as winter hitsthe Cape is to “show you care”.“This is the cornerstone of everything our

fieldworkers do to assist street people, be-cause there are so many things that canmake a difference to someone’s life.”This is alsowhat drives theGiveResponsi-

bly call to action developed by the CCID in2008 to encourage thosewhowanted tomakea difference to the lives of street people tosupport the NGOs in and around the CapeTown CBD.Part of this call to action each year is the

CCID’s Winter Drive campaign.This year, the public can help by using a

simple phone app to donate whatever theycan afford to the NGO partners with whomthe CCID works closest.These NGOs assist adults living on the

streets with shelter (when it is available), aswell as food and other social services and en-sure that children are afforded the necessa-ry care and protection as well as rehabilita-tion programmes.They include The Carpenter’s Shop, The

Haven, The Homestead, Ons Plek, SalesianInstitute Youth Projects and Straatwerk.The CCID’s Winter Drive campaign has

enabled the organisation over the years tocollect and redistribute hundreds of thou-

sands of randsworth of public donations, in-cluding monetary contributions as well asclothing, food, toiletries and other essen-tials.“The public really want to help, but often

just don’t know how. Each year, as we rollout the campaign, we look for ways to makeit as easy as possible for people to show theycare,” explains Eddy.“Since 2012, we’ve driven monetary dona-

tions via an SMS number and this option isstill available to people who want to donatein this manner.“But last year we introduced a Snapscan

option to Give Responsibly which now alsoappears on our poster campaign. Withinhours of the posters going up this week,we’ve already seen a remarkable update indonations being made.”This is enabled via a giant QR code that

allows a member of the public to “snap” anddonate the amount of their choice using asmartphone.Every cent, bar a transaction fee of 3c for

each rand,will go directly to theCCID’s part-ner NGOs on this project. The app, availablefor iOS, Android and Blackberry, can bedownloaded at www.snapscan.co.za.Eddy concludes: “Everyday acts of kind-

ness can addup to increased social cohesion.But if you feel hopeless and don’t knowwhattodo tohelp street peoplebeyond interactingwith them, that’s okay.”V SMS “Give” to 38088 to donate R10. An averageof R8 goes to the NGOs, depending on your serviceprovider. Visit www.giveresponsibly.co.za for EFT bank­ing details and more info on the call to action.

Make a typo andthe errorists winWorking in thenewspaper industry is anun-forgiving career choice. Any mistake youmight make, down to a typo caused by yourslow ring finger, is there for all to see.The embarrassment of having your mis-

take as front page news is one of the reasonsjournalists check facts and dates and see ev-ery story triple checked. But we are still hu-man and prone to errors.Worse still is that newsrooms around the

world are shrinking. Fewer people arewear-ing more than one hat under demandingdeadlines. Gone are the days that the jour-nalist were only responsible for getting andfiling their story, because the photographer,pageplanner, layout artist andvarious copy-editors would see to the rest.At People’s Post, our journalists, on aver-

age, work on two editions, covering dozensof suburbs. They’re responsible to fill theseeditions with both articles and photos, fromback to front, every week while attendingmeetings and events late at night and overweekends. And then there are the two tothree hour long (sometimes half a day) coun-cil meetings that take place at least once amonth.Most of these stories are gathered and

written over three or four days for a weeklydeadline. Some journalists also have extraproduction duties – page planning, subbingand layout – added to their workload ondeadline days. As anyone who works in thatkind of high-pressured industry will under-stand: it’s no easy feat.And they still do their workwith integrity

and honesty, with a smile on their faces anda kind word for any reader theymight meet.In each story, we have to guard against a

range of ethical principles, ensuring fair-ness to both parties, and objectivity. Withthe amount of misinformation we sift

through, there are much worse errors wecould make than a spelling or grammar er-ror.To prevent those nasty little spelling and

grammar gremlins, our editor and subeditorcheck anything between 120 and 160 pagesin our 10 zoned editions – in a day and a half.To fill just a quarter of a page is between 350and 500 words. You can do the maths to un-derstand the sheermagnitude of their work.If you were to look at our error rate (we’d

confidently put it at less than 1%), we’re do-ing better than the airline industry.And often after triple checking every arti-

cle, as was the case last week, an error slipsthrough and is spotted only after it has beensent to theprinter (“Librarypeddles forpow-er”, People’s Post False Bay, 7 June).And when it comes to the cost of calling

back a page to fix that error – unless it’s afactual error that will land us in hot waterwith the ombudsman or in court – we’d rath-er swallow our pride and take the flack fromour loyal errorists.We might sound superhuman, but we’re

really not. That’s why we appreciate everyreader that alerts us to these errors.But telling a journalist they aren’t quali-

fied, or shouldn’t have their jobs over a spell-ing or grammar error, is uncalled for.We’ve put our hearts into giving you the

Give addicts afair chanceSeeing that it’s Youth Month I havetaken it upon myself to share with youa problem that our youth faces today –the problem of drug addiction.Not only does the addiction seem to

be the main problem but these addictsfind it extremely hard to find workonce they have decided to turn theirlives around.I know exactly what I am talking

about, because for me finding workwas a huge problem because of mycriminal record.Most companies state that you

should be criminal and credit clear. Sohow are the recovering addictssupposed to then become “normal”members of society if they cannot findwork? This further irritates the issuebecause it leaves room for depressionand feelings of unworthiness.I feel that companies should em-

brace these individuals for making thechoice to turn their lives around, ittakes character and determination –something that any and every employ-er should want in an employee.So to all the employers out there,

most addicts are very skilled, perfec-tionists and extremely loyal. Do whatneeds to be done, test them regularlyfor drugs and even watch them closelybut do not cast their CV’s aside.If they can show amazing character

so can you.EMILE NAIKER

Start the Upstartstart-up busGARY VAN DYK

@gvdcapejazz

Interesting innovations in education couldbe influencing teachers with an exciting

project at the University of Cape Town.This year the UCT vice-chancellor’s social

innovation challenge, UCT Upstarts, is ask-ing student social entrepreneurs to redesigneducation in South Africa.For the second year, the project is driving

a “student start-upnation”, and this year theprogrammehas challenged students to focustheir social entrepreneurial prowess on re-inventing, re-imagining, redesigning and re-humanising the education system.Following last year’s successful debut pro-

gramme that resulted in the launch of 12 stu-dent start-ups overnight at its signature“Idea Auction”, UCT Upstarts is again put-ting young South African social innovatorson the map with its 12-week social innova-tion curriculum and a brief to “Re-educateEducation”.This challenge is a joint initiative between

the Bertha Centre for Social Innovation andEntrepreneurship (a specialised unit at theUCT Graduate School of Business), SuperStage (a social innovation platform for stu-dents) and the office of the vice-chancellorof the university.Social entrepreneur Gina Levy, the

founder of Upstarts and Super Stage, addsthe initiative gives students a platform to ef-fect positive change around them. “We arecreating a new generation of ‘upstarts’ – stu-dents who are solving real-world problemsfrom campus – because we believe sociallyimpactful business ideas are the most pow-erful form of protest,” she says. “And, be-cause opportunity is our currency, we’vecreated a life-changing platform that gives

students the chance to effect positive changeon our continent.”From April to September, students are at-

tending two lunchtime coaching/workshopsessions a week as “passengers” aboard adouble-decker bus on UCT’s upper campus.The “Upstarts Coach” is the epicentre of

social innovation, a 24-hour express busjourney from upstart to start-up.Their “drivers” are inspiring and interac-

tive coaches who deliver talkshops, work-shops and do-shops aboard the bus, intro-ducing students to a diverse network ofchange makers in their own right, and mak-ing this journey a trip to remember.The 45 like-minded students on the bus

were selected after a self-motivating applica-tion process. They are passionate self-start-ers who come from a cross-section of disci-plines, ages and backgrounds, and are nowpart of multifaceted teams of four to fivemembers. Their “destination” is the IdeaAuction, where theywill pitch their start-upideas to an “audience of opportunity”.This is a live bidding event where hand-

picked movers and shakers will crowd-bidtheir expertise, resources, networks, incu-bation spaces, travel opportunities, mediaexposure and money to launch their revolu-tionary start-up ideas into action.Over R110 000 was raised on the floor at

last year’s Idea Auction, with additional in-kind support to the approximate value ofR500 000 generated too (coaching sessions,resources, office space, transport, cameracrews, computers, building materials, ex-pertise and network contacts).Some of the 2015 start-ups included solu-

tions such as rethinking foodwastage to rev-olutionising South Africa’s traditional stok-vel system.V Visit uctupstarts.uct.ac.za for more information.

When it comes to catching some big bandbeats Darryl Andrews is the man to call.On Friday 24 June the Wittebome Civic

Centre will be rocking as he hosts anotherNostalgia Nite at the Civic.But there’s more to this musician than

meets the eye – or is it ear?The talented guitarist, bassist, composer

and arranger may be known to generationsofmusic lovers for hisworkwith groups likeMissing Link, Mahogany, and MJ9 in hisearly years since 1994 he has been an inte-gral part of producing the next generationof musical talents.Currently teaching jazz studies at the Col-

lege ofMusic at UCT the Plumstead residentexplains that he knewmusic would be a partof his life since he was very young.“Our family was originally from Durban

and my parents played music with my dadplaying guitar,” he says.“I was seven when he bought my older

brother a guitar and I cried that I also want-ed one. Thank goodness that my tearsworked because I loved playing as my dadtaught us and we started playing anythingwe heard on radio. Then we moved to CapeTown to Walmer Estate and I had lost inter-est but at high school I met more people whowere playing. Linda de Bruin was singingfolk songs and playing guitar so I dusted offmy guitar and the interest grew again.“We started our own band, Gimmick, with

people like Randy Groenemeyer, Kevin Ver-ster on bass and we were playing using hi-fis. We did not even have proper gear but itwas fun and we enjoyed it. Then CalvinHumbles gotme intoMissingLinkand it justgrew from there.”Darryl explains

that with no formalmusic education hestarted teachinghim-self because he knewthat he wanted totake his career seri-ously. “While I waspart of Mahogany weused to rehearse allday but during thebreaks I would be sit-ting with my booksand that is how myknowledge grew.“This eventually

led to me being partof the band for theproduction of Guysand Dolls where An-drew Lilley was onkeyboards. He was atUCT at the time buthad to leave for fur-ther studies and herecommended me totake up his teachingpost.

“The rest as they say is history and I havebeen there ever since.”When it comes to hosting the nostalgic

nights concerts he points out that it is notjust about sitting down and enjoying thesounds.“We are catering to the needs of a genera-

tion who used to go out and enjoy this kindof “jol” in their youth – and they still lovethose sounds.“The music we play is music they know

so it’s about gettingupanddancing thenightaway. And, it’s also about friendships thatwere formed during those days and stillstand today.“The ’70s and ’80s was an exciting time for

entertainment on the Cape Flats and peoplestillwant to enjoy that feeling – it keeps themand us young,” he laughs.For the session on Friday 24 June Darryl

has put together some top class players forhis “little” big bandwhowill be entertainingthe punters.These include Bruce Muirhead who

shares the guitar seat with Darryl, AndrewFord on keyboards, Shaun Johannes onbass, FrankPaco ondrumsandJohnHassanon percussion.There’s also a brass section with Vaughn

Fransch and Dave Thompson on trumpets,MurrayBuitendagon trombone,withJustinBellairs, Zeke Le Grange and Georgia Joneson saxophone.Adding to the sound will be vocalists TJ

On-track action at karting champsWildcards, multiple winners and a

large dose of intrigue highlighted abrilliant Cape kart meeting.

Anyonewhohad the pleasure to attend thefourth round of the Western Cape KartingChampionship atKillarney onSaturdaywillagree that it was a great day’s racing featur-ing wildcard winners, upsets and brillianton-track action all day long, theWPMCKartClub says in a press release.It would be a trick to pick the race of the

day, but the often pedestrianMax Challenge125s certainly stood out among a day of high-lights. Championship leader Dino Stermin(Designer TrimsRKTKosmic) andDinoDel-ano Fowler (SuprocomWOrr FA) arrived atthe circuit to find a pair of ominous wild-cards entered in their class. The CRG duowere reigningWP class champion JonathanAberdein back in the country on holidayfrom his German ADAC Formula 4 cam-paign andUmpie Swart, taking a break fromPolo Cup action this weekend.It proved a head to head of extreme enter-

tainment as Swart and Aberdein stole thefirst heat from Stermin with Fowler in closeattendance, before Stermin struck back totake a stunning race 2 from Fowler and Ab-erdein. But Aberdein made no mistakes tolead the final from flag to flag from Stermin,Swart and Fowler. Stermin however didbrilliantly to win the day from Aberdein,Swart, Fowler, Nicholas Jacobs and MarcoJoos, with just two points separating the topthree.The high school Rotax JuniorMax 125s al-

so delivered an epic battle that ragedthroughout the day, but it was SebastianBoyd who came out tops aboard his BoydFreight Kosmic with two wins to one overchampionship leader Jason Coetzee (RKTKosmic) and Dario Busi, who fought hard toput his Automan Birel third in a supremelycompetitive class. Aidan Strydom (Turbo-

TechCRG)drovea clever trio of races to edgeout the injured Andrew Rackstraw (Tony),and unlucky Daniel Duminy (Kosmic), whofell victim to some hectic midfield action.The ever-spectacular 60cc primary school

CapeMaxterinosdelivered threewinners onthe day, but race 2 victor Charl Visser (Bat-tery Energy Zanardi) was the most consist-ent to take overall honours from race 1 win-ner Joseph Oelz (Zanardi), Jason MacBeath(Zanardi), Kai van Zijl (CRG) and Zanardiduo Kyle Visser and Nicholas Sage, whileTroy Dolinschek (Makita Kosmic) took therace 3 win.

Paul Malcolm (Charl Electric) continuedhis winning ways to take overall honours inthe smallest u.8 Cadet class, although he hada problem in race 1 to allow Joaquin de Oliv-eira to take the first racewin. ReeseKoorzenended up second overall in another busy aft-ernoon from Joshua Smit, Reza Levy (Jive),de Oliveira (whose day went backwards aft-er that first win) and Mishca Williams whobattled a down on power engine.It was a far more straightforward affair in

the DD2 gearbox class, where former WPchampion Jonathan Thomas (PartnersCRG) cantered to a trio of victories ahead of

a three-way three-race tussle settled in fa-vour of Tristan de Nobrega (Race Driver SACRG), who beat CRG quartet Hilton Peters,Delano Fowler, Jonathan Aberdein andChad Daniel to second. Kian van der Merwebeat Isabelle Fowler two races to one to takeClubman honours ahead of Class B winnerJody van Rensburg.The Cape’s top karters now head to iDube

this weekend for the third round of the SANational Karting Championship and thenthe National Final in Vereeniging a monthlater, before returning to commence the sec-ond half of theWP championship on 30 July.

Jonathan Aberdein (299), Dino Stermin (247) and Umpie Swart (239) shared spectacular Max Challenge Wins at the Western Cape KartingChampionship at Killarney on Saturday.

On-track action at karting champsWildcards, multiple winners and a

large dose of intrigue highlighted abrilliant Cape kart meeting.

Anyonewhohad the pleasure to attend thefourth round of the Western Cape KartingChampionship atKillarney onSaturdaywillagree that it was a great day’s racing featur-ing wildcard winners, upsets and brillianton-track action all day long, theWPMCKartClub says in a press release.It would be a trick to pick the race of the

day, but the often pedestrianMax Challenge125s certainly stood out among a day of high-lights. Championship leader Dino Stermin(Designer TrimsRKTKosmic) andDinoDel-ano Fowler (SuprocomWOrr FA) arrived atthe circuit to find a pair of ominous wild-cards entered in their class. The CRG duowere reigningWP class champion JonathanAberdein back in the country on holidayfrom his German ADAC Formula 4 cam-paign andUmpie Swart, taking a break fromPolo Cup action this weekend.It proved a head to head of extreme enter-

tainment as Swart and Aberdein stole thefirst heat from Stermin with Fowler in closeattendance, before Stermin struck back totake a stunning race 2 from Fowler and Ab-erdein. But Aberdein made no mistakes tolead the final from flag to flag from Stermin,Swart and Fowler. Stermin however didbrilliantly to win the day from Aberdein,Swart, Fowler, Nicholas Jacobs and MarcoJoos, with just two points separating the topthree.The high school Rotax JuniorMax 125s al-

so delivered an epic battle that ragedthroughout the day, but it was SebastianBoyd who came out tops aboard his BoydFreight Kosmic with two wins to one overchampionship leader Jason Coetzee (RKTKosmic) and Dario Busi, who fought hard toput his Automan Birel third in a supremelycompetitive class. Aidan Strydom (Turbo-

TechCRG)drovea clever trio of races to edgeout the injured Andrew Rackstraw (Tony),and unlucky Daniel Duminy (Kosmic), whofell victim to some hectic midfield action.The ever-spectacular 60cc primary school

CapeMaxterinosdelivered threewinners onthe day, but race 2 victor Charl Visser (Bat-tery Energy Zanardi) was the most consist-ent to take overall honours from race 1 win-ner Joseph Oelz (Zanardi), Jason MacBeath(Zanardi), Kai van Zijl (CRG) and Zanardiduo Kyle Visser and Nicholas Sage, whileTroy Dolinschek (Makita Kosmic) took therace 3 win.

Paul Malcolm (Charl Electric) continuedhis winning ways to take overall honours inthe smallest u.8 Cadet class, although he hada problem in race 1 to allow Joaquin de Oliv-eira to take the first racewin. ReeseKoorzenended up second overall in another busy aft-ernoon from Joshua Smit, Reza Levy (Jive),de Oliveira (whose day went backwards aft-er that first win) and Mishca Williams whobattled a down on power engine.It was a far more straightforward affair in

the DD2 gearbox class, where former WPchampion Jonathan Thomas (PartnersCRG) cantered to a trio of victories ahead of

a three-way three-race tussle settled in fa-vour of Tristan de Nobrega (Race Driver SACRG), who beat CRG quartet Hilton Peters,Delano Fowler, Jonathan Aberdein andChad Daniel to second. Kian van der Merwebeat Isabelle Fowler two races to one to takeClubman honours ahead of Class B winnerJody van Rensburg.The Cape’s top karters now head to iDube

this weekend for the third round of the SANational Karting Championship and thenthe National Final in Vereeniging a monthlater, before returning to commence the sec-ond half of theWP championship on 30 July.

Jonathan Aberdein (299), Dino Stermin (247) and Umpie Swart (239) shared spectacular Max Challenge Wins at the Western Cape KartingChampionship at Killarney on Saturday.

Bay to compete in the Cape Town event.In the end local knowledge of the shifting

Long Beach break helped quite a number ofyoung local surfers take the Cape Crown intheir divisions. The talented Alex Townsendfrom Kommetjie won the u.12 division andwas stoked with his first PST win. Up-and-coming surfer, Summer Sutton from Kom-metjie, was in top form winning the girls

u.14 title with some impressive power turns.Manoa Robb, also from Kommetjie, won theboys u.14 division.

In an extremely tight and exciting u.16boys final, Max Elkington (the current SAChampion), took the win over fellow Kom-metjie surfer Eli Beukes. Adin Masencampfrom the Strand landed an impressive aerialin the dying minutes of the u.18 boys final

to beat a strong contender in another Kom-metjie local, Ford van Jaarsveldt.

Stanturf ready for tournament after 16 yearsEARL HAUPT

@EarlHaupt

Stanturf Football Club, formed 25 yearsago in the heart of the Rocklands, previous-ly known as Turf United and Stanton FC,is looking forward to this year’s Kenparku.23 tournament, which takes place thisweekend.

A total of 24 teams from across the city,including defending champions GlendeneUnited, will take to Kenpark United’s fieldsin Mitchell’s Plain to showcase their risingtalent.

According to Stanturf’s u.23 coach,Jeanne Valentyn, his charges are excitedat the prospect of rubbing shoulders withsome of the city’s more renowned clubs,after qualifying for this year’s tournamentafter a 16-year absence.

Valentyn attributes the barren period toa number of factors, which ended in theirclub losing the bulk of their youth playersover the years.

“With many ups and downs in the clubas well as the community, we still had thegame of football at heart. As a former jun-ior player (myself), it was then a joy to playand as time went past our community, (oth-ers) became invested with gangsters andthe use of drugs increased, especially with-in the youth. We ended up losing playersas well as a loss of interest in the game.Keeping the youth motivated and interest-ed in the game was hard and as an amateurclub, finding attacking players was diffi-cult,” he states.

He says that the only other way to luretalent back to the club was to enter in well-known tournaments which may provide agateway onto a bigger platform, where aplayer may have the opportunity of plying

their trade professionally. “The playersare excited, preparing to showcase theirtalent and hopefully impress to possiblyfulfil their dreams and make it in this in-dustry.

“We recently partnered up with a local

Mitchell’s Plain business that has now as-sisted us with a sponsor, so that we can alsolook the part.”

The team held a kit launch with theirsponsor on Thursday 9 June, whichbrought a renewed spark to the squad

ahead of the tournament proper this week-end.

“Just to see the faces of our boys, excitedto receive a small gift, this could not havebeen possible if we did not engage in thisventure.”
