HOUT BAY: FOLLOWS INTERNATIONAL CURRICULUM

School takes shapeTARREN­LEE HABELGAARN

THE International School of Hout Bay isbroadening its horizons as plans to owntheir own premises are coming to frui-

tion.The first phasewill accommodate the high

school, which currently operates from 6Riv-erside Terrace. Completion is scheduled forNovember and plans are to relocate the highschool in time to start the 2014 academicyear at its new premises, in Hout Bay MainRoad. The primary school will remain in itspresent facility until the second phase isbuilt.

Principal Andy Wood says the newpremises results from the school’s yearn toown the premises and also a need for morespace.

The schoolwas founded in 1999 by a groupof parents in Hout Bay who sought to pro-vide a quality independent school for thecommunity.

Initially, the school taught the Cambridgeand UK curricula. In 2009, the schoolchanged to the International Baccalaureatecurriculum. In 2005, the (then) board trans-ferred ownership of the school to Interna-tional Education Systems (IES).

IES is a network of eight schools – threein SouthAfrica, three in the UK, one inHun-gary and one in the United States.

Wood says they are a SouthAfrican schoolwith an international perspective.

“We want to retain all that is good in aSouth African education: our love of sportand the outdoors, the respect for one anotherand our manners,” he says.

“However, when it comes to the quality ofteaching and learning, we want to ensureour standards are international and that ourpupils are able to feel comfortable communi-cating with people of all cultures and back-grounds,” says Woods.

Currently, the school has 308 pupils andwill be able to accommodate up to 450 pupilsat the new campus.

“We hosted an open day in April and hadthe biggest turnout to date. A lot more par-ents and pupils from Hout Bay and sur-rounding areas have shown an interest inthe school,” says Wood.

Wood points out that the City of CapeTown has imposed strict heritage require-

ments on the school’s design and the build-ings will retain Cape farm elements whichwill connect with the Kronendal farmstead.

“The school will have a small hall, sciencelaboratories, library anda sports field, in ad-dition to the 14 classrooms and administra-tion block,” says Woods.

The buildings are designed to use as littleheating or cooling electricity as possible,and to have sweeping views of the surround-ing mountains. The heritage requirementsspecified that the school has to be single-sto-

rey with a relatively small (carbon) foot-print.

One of the frequently asked questions iswhy traffic lights, rather than a traffic cir-cle, have been installed on Main Road, saysWoods.

“The buildings on the eastern (uphill) sideof the road are too close to the road for a traf-fic circle to be built (a 25m radius is re-quired). In order for a traffic circle to be in-stalled the buildings would have to be relo-cated or demolished. The roadwidening and

traffic lights have been paid for by theschool.”

Woods says he regularly meets with theImizamu Yethu soccer organising commit-teewhouse the new sports complex adjacentto the school. “I meet with them regularlyto ensure theyarewell informedand to builda good relationship between the communityand the school,” says Wood.

Many children from the community havealso benefited from the school’s bursary pro-gramme.

TERTIARY EDUCATION: PLAN OF ACTION FOR BESET MATRICULANTS

Hope for SA youths’ futureTARREN­LEE HABELGAARN

Their aim is to assist matriculants togain entry to university. To this end,an NGO has launched its latest

project, Tertiary Education Access Chan-nel (TEACH).TheNGO, LivingThroughLearning pro-

vides educational programmes to disad-vantaged schools.It has committed itself to uplifting young

underprivileged matriculants from disad-vantaged schools to access further educa-tion opportunities through its TEACHbridging programme.TEACH offers free courses to these ma-

triculants and assists them to re-writetheir matric exams in order to gain entryinto university.By bridging the gap at the end of their

high school career, Living Through Learn-ing addressesmany key issues obstructingthese younsters.Lindsay Langenhoven, Living Through

Learning communications director, ex-plained that TEACH is a pilot project andsays teachers are examining areas thatneed improvement or change.“Currently our main challenge is pre-

paring the pupils to re-write their subjectsin November. We are using a remedialmodel to ensure all the missed buildingblocks of the subjects are covered,” saysLangenhoven. “However, with weekly pu-pil assessments, we are able to keep trackof each pupil’s individual progress,” sheadds.The project runs until November and

pupils attend classes daily. The proiject isfunded by Datatech Educational Trust.The project commenced with a soft-skills

course which covers topics such as timemanagement, communication, settinggoals and living with integrity. Daily,three dedicated teachers engage with theyoung minds, determined to help themshape better futures. They are now engag-ing in the technical subjects component ofthe project, namely Maths, Science andEnglish.Practical and theory-style learning is

combined to ensure pupils grasp the mate-

rial. It includes fun experiments in the af-ternoon to incorporate “real-world appli-cation”.Cheri-Lisa Lewis matriculated from

PlumsteadHigh last year. She says is confi-dent the project will help her achieve 100%in Maths and Physical Science.“In high school they teach youwhat they

knowandusually skip sections bynot fullyexplaining it. Here at TEACH, the teachersteach you how to make sense of misunder-

stoodwords or concepts andwe don’tmoveonuntil everybodyunderstands,” she says.Kayla Potts matriculated from Pelican

Park last year - for her it’s all about goingback to the basics. “The teachers are tak-ing us back to basics to ensure thatwe fullyunderstand Maths and Physics at a matriclevel,” says Potts.“We have started many new habits

which help dismantle the study barriers.”Langenhoven explains that at Living

Through Learning the teachers have sethigh standards and aim to ensure that allpupils gain 85% and above in English,Maths and Physical Science.“We set standards that we know our pu-

pils can achieve, and that they should bestriving for in order to attain real successin life,” she adds.At the NGO, students are taught how to

studyusingapracticalmethodologywhichstresses understanding and application,rather than the memorisation of work.“Pupils who don’t attain 85% are assist-

ed on an individual basis, to clear up areasthey didn’t have conceptual understand-ing in,” says Langenhoven.Living Through Learning is also appeal-

ing to the public to assist in providing ameal for the pupils in the programme.Langenhoven says: “The majority of the

pupils are poverty-stricken and we arebusy looking for partnerships to assist.”The project also has a large technology

component and the organisationwould ap-preciate anyassistance from the communi-ty or individuals for sponsorship of an ad-ditional 10 laptops and a laser copier/scan-ner.V Contact Monique Duval on 021 761 2842 or emailmarketing@livingthroughlearning.org.za

SAFETY: POLICE URGE RESIDENTS TO BE MORE ALERT

Effective tips to stump crimeTARREN­LEE HABELGAARN

IT NEVER pays to be complacent aboutyour safety.Are your gates locked?Doyouleave your bin outside? How safe is your

road?Residents of the valley are wondering

whether they will need to imprison them-selves at home in order to feel safe.Mile End Road in Diep River, Galway

Road in Heathfield and Jeffcoat Avenue inBergvliet have all been confirmed to becrime hotspots.A resident, who wishes to remain anony-

mous, says her property in Mile End Road,Diep River, has been burgled twice in thelast year.“Both times it happenedwhilewewereout

for supperwith friends.We havemany secu-rity features but even that doesn’t seen tohelp,” she fumes.During one burglary, the suspects gained

entry to the property by lifting her front gateof the track.“This modus operandi is becoming so

common in this area. It is actually veryscary,” says the resident.It is for this very reason she feels relieved

that there many CCTV cameras installed inthe area to deter criminals.“At least there are more eyes around the

area and theneighbourhoodwatches andpo-lice do try their best,” she adds.A Heathfield resident, Jeffrey Steyn, says

a friend was recently visiting them for abraai when thieves targeted his car.“He didn’t have an alarm in his car so we

had no indication that the car had been bro-ken into until the end of the evening,” saysSteyn.Not only was he extremely embarrassed,

but couldn’t believe how quickly it couldhappen “right under their noses”.“If you or your guests can’t even feel safe

at your home any longer, where can you feelsafe?” he fumes.Warrant Officer Keith Chandler, spokes-

person for Diep River police, identifies resi-dential burglaries, theft-out-of motor vehi-cles and the theft of wheelie bins as themostcommon incidents of thefts in those areas.“We are always working with the various

neighbourhood watches in the area to en-sure we have as many eyes on the ground

as possible,” he says.“However, we are appealing to the com-

munity to work with us in trying to preventcrime in the area. Don’t create opportunityfor criminals by leavingyour car’s boot openwhile taking some groceries into the house.If you have an alarm, activate it and don’tleave items such as laptops near an openwindow.”Chandler also encourages residents to in-

stall motion-senor lights.“They immediately brighten up your

house and is a goodway ofmaking criminals

think twice. Also, it grabs neighbour’s atten-tion,” adds Chandler.He points out another concern is the theft

of wheelie bins.“There are about 40 reported cases of

wheelie bin thefts a month,” says Chandler.He is urging residents to not put their binsout too long in advance.“Criminals usewheelie bins to hide stolen

items in and to transport things,” he adds.Ernest Sonnenberg, Mayoral Committee

member forUtility Services, says refuse con-tainers should be kept on the resident’sproperty until the scheduled collection day.On thedayof refuse collection, thewheelie

bins should be placed out on the pavementby 06:00.“There is a tariff which can be charged to

recover the cost of replacement for damagedor stolen bins. Currently, this tariff is onlyapplied where the customer has been foundto be negligent,” says Sonnenberg.An example of such negligence is if the bin

was stolen from the pavement on a day otherthan the scheduled collection day.The current replacement cost is R406,83.To apply for a replacement bin, residents

would need to report the theft of the bin tothe police. They will receive a police casenumber or a copy of the affidavit. Residentsshould then contact theCity’s Call Centre on0860 103 089 or e-mailWastewise.User@cape-town.gov.za and provide their municipal ac-count number, address, contact name andnumber as well as the police case numberor copy of affidavit.“The call centrewill create a systemnotifi-

cation and provide the customer with thereference number and the bin should be de-livered within five working days,” says Son-nenberg.

Cops nab robbery suspectsA JOINT effort by Wynberg and Claremontpolice has led to the arrest of three suspects,two of whom are wanted for other crimes.A shopowner was busy serving custom-

ers fromherwholesaler shop in Claremont,when two unknown men entered. One sus-pect threatened her with a firearm.The suspects then demanded cash and de-

manded the terrified shopkeeper showthem the till.They soon depleted all the cash, carrying

the undisclosed sum in a plastic money bagfound underneath the counter.They also helped themselves to cigarettes

before fleeing the scene on foot.No shots were fired and no injuries were

reported.The suspects’ attempt to flee in a getaway

failed as they struggled to start the car.Claremont police arrived at the scene and

succeeded in arresting one suspect.The other two fled in the direction of

HEATHFIELD: EMPLOYMENT FOR OVER 400 LOCALS

Housing planfinds a homeTASMIN CUPIDO

A HIGH density housing developmenthas beenproposed for a semi-occupiedproperty in Heathfield.

The property,which runs fromRochesterto Consort roads, is owned by the estate ofthe late Karel Foentjies.An application for the rezoning of the

land, from single residential to a subdivi-sional area for a residential development,was submitted to the City of Cape Town byHeadland Planners, the company whichcurrently has power of attorney to the land.The objection and comment phase for the

application is currently open and closes onThursday 16 May.The proposed development of the 1.8ha

property, by DNL Developers, will see theconstruction of 136 residential units. Thiswill include the construction of 64 singleresidential units – 30 double-storey ter-raced residential units and 34 semi-de-tached single storey dwellings – and 72apartments on the property which bordersLittle PrincessVlei. But the proposed devel-opment has been met with concern fromresidents of Heathfield, who held a commu-nity meeting last Wednesday (1 May). A to-tal of 104 residents attended the meeting toexpress their concerns.Speaking on behalf of residents, Sharna

Fernandez, says they are not against devel-opment, but are concerned about the typeof development proposed. “We found outabout the development by default, when aresident saw the notice in the Cape Timesin early April,” she says.“He then photocopied the notice and de-

livered it to all our postboxes. Since thenwehaveheld twomeetings andmetwith thedeveloper at the end of March.”Some of thematters of concern expressed

at the meeting were the negative impact onproperty prices and the impact on privacy.“The development will also affect accessand egress for residents in Rochester Close

and will result in a change to the characterof the area,” Fernandez says.“The level of densification (for the devel-

opment) is high and the portion and unitsizes are not in keeping with that of othererven in the area. We are also concernedabout the residents currently residing onthe property, who have already receivedeviction notices. They have nowhere to go.”Those opposing the development will belodging objections to the City, Fernandezsays.DNL’s Howard Fisher says they were in-

troduced to the property in June last year.“After consulting with our engineers, townplanners and architects, we agreed to putin a development proposal in September2012,” he says.“Wehave submitted a rezoning and a sub-

division application (to the City), who haveno objections to our development with re-gards to spatial planning, heritage, storm-water, sewerandelectricity capacity, trans-port and planning, and environmental im-pact.” Fisher says, pending outstandingapplications, the development is planned tostart in May next year.“We envisage a complex with a high level

of security. There will be controlled accesswith private roads and play areas,” he says.“A clubhouse and swimming pool will addto family environmentwe are hoping to fos-ter. We are still considering the possibly ofa retirement village.”Fisher also says the development will of-

fer employment to more than 400 skilledand semi-skilled construction workers.“The residents are within their rights to

raise objections. But what constitutes a val-id objection? It is delegated to the munici-pality to consider the objections in light ofthe new spatial planning framework. Wemust allow this process to run its course.”

Bye­byeBye­byeholidays?holidays?SOUTH AFRICANS face the possibility

of having fewer public holidays.A government task team has report-

edly been set up to investigate a possible re-duction in the number of public holidays.This is after some religious groups said theSouth African calendar was discriminatingagainst them. Some of the holidays thatcould be scrapped includeDay of Reconcilia-tion (16 December), Day of Goodwill (26 De-cember) and Family Day (the first Mondayafter Easter).People’sPostpolled readers to findouthow

they feel about the possibility of having few-er public holidays.

ZANDILE MAQHOSHA says public holidaysbring people from different backgroundstogether. “Every holiday has a meaningattached to it and more holidays should beadded to accommodate other religions insteadof scrapping a few.

TASMEED ABRAHAMS says more holidaysshould be added to honour other religiousgroups. “No holiday should be scrapped, butevery religious holidays should be celebratedas we have more than one religion.”

LINSDAY CAMERON-DOW says all religionsshould be taken into account due t ourcultural diversity. “All religions are importantand every religion should benefit from theholiday. They shouldn’t reduce the holidays,but they can add more.”

NICK OLIVIER says the issue is a controversialone and many people will disagree. “There area few holidays I think should be reconsidered.But those days also have history attached tothem and if I name them I might upset a fewpeople.

JADE JANSEN says more holidays should beadded. “It is only fair that other religiouscelebrations be recognised as holidays. Butnone of the existing holidays should be takenaway as they have a history that comes withthem.”

WAYDON WEBER says religious holidays areimportant. “No public holiday should bescrapped because they are all significant.Instead, they can add more holidays toaccommodate other religious groups.”

YENTL KOHLER says every holiday is signifi-cant. “It is not just a random day off. We livein a diverse country with different cultures. Itwill be good if other cultures and religiousholidays are also embraced.”

Radio 786 ‘internal dispute’besets station’s financesTAURIQ HASSEN AND NICOLE MCCAIN

RADIO 786 claims it narrowly missed beingswindled of almost R2m by a former boardmember.According to Ali Chicktay, an executive

“IUC letterhead, (with) changed address andtelephone numbers on it”, requested that DeVries and anassociate benamed thenewsig-natories, and “changed the beneficiary ac-count, which was always the Radio 786 ac-count” from the station’s current account,Chicktay says.The committee discovered the changes

about three weeks ago when they contactedthe investment company to obtain a report,he says.“At that point the company informed us

the current signatories to the Radio 786 in-vestment account were no longer signato-ries to the account on the basis that DeVrieshad written to them in early January thatthe signatories and beneficiary bank ac-count must be changed,” Chicktay says.“Fortunately, no monies were withdrawn

or transferred from the investment account.The account has, however, been frozen bythe investment company.”DeVries, however, counters that the accu-

sations “are all lies”.He says he still held the position of chair-

person in January, as the September meet-ing had been unconstitutional and the votehad taken place in his absence.However, according toChicktay, complete

protocol was followed and an officer of thecourt presided over the meeting.“I wasmandated to do it by the committee,

and the mandate and resolution were givento the bank,” say De Vries.Chicktay responded, saying: “What com-

mittee? He was booted out in 2011 (and) hasdone no work for the IUC since.”While the matter is being attended to, the

station’s investment account has been fro-zen, leaving Radio 786 to tighten their belts.The investment account is kept in reserve

for future development and for unexpectedcosts, such as legal fees.The station’s current account, the original

beneficiary account, is still operational andis used to pay salaries and day-to-day ex-penses. “We managed to pay salaries at theend of April, but it wasn’t easy,” Chicktaysays.Radio 786 is mired in a costly legal battle

about an Independent Communications Au-thority of South Africa (Icasa) complainthearing involving the South African JewishBoard of Deputies and the IUC.“This situation can have dire consequenc-

es for our cash flow andmeeting our month-ly expenses, including staff salaries and con-tributions to their provident funds. Fundswill also be required for the continuation ofthe Icasa hearing coming up shortly as wellas some capital expenditurewewere intend-ing to make.”Chicktay says no criminal charges will be

pressed. “Because this situation arose as aresult of an internal dispute and no moneyhas been lost, our only intention currentlywould be to regain control of the investmentaccount.”

Hooligan fans warned ofbehaviour at CT StadiumNICOLE MCCAIN

AFTERarowdydisplayof support by soc-cer fans had Green Point locals clutchingtheir ears in frustration, additional lawenforcementmeasures are being plannedto keep unruly revellers in check.This comes after a “chaotic” spectacle

unfolded at Cape Town Stadium lastweek, resulting in fears of an encore atthe two international events planned forthe next two days.Bob Goebel, the chairperson of the

Green Point Ratepayers’ Association,says revellers at Wednesday’s soccermatchwere excessivelynoisy.Others, hesays,made themselves guilty of public in-decency by urinating on residents’boundary walls and pavements.“We had a fairly good run for a couple

of months without any incidents. ButWednesdaywas absolute chaos,” he says.“It was like a tsunami of rabble-rousingspectators!”Adding to the turmoilwas a lack of traf-

fic control, Goebel says.The roads were in anarchy, Jane Mey-

er of the Mouille Point Ratepayers’ Asso-ciation confirms. “This area was com-pletely gridlocked. There was traffic con-gestion, no doubt caused by the busstrikes, and illegal parking,” she says.Meyer’s fingers are firmly pointed at

the City, whom she says should havemade provisions for the increase in traf-fic.Goebel also places the blame at the

City’s door, adding that there was a lackvisible policing.Grant Pascoe, the Mayoral Committee

member for Tourism, Events and Mar-keting, says the bus strike led to the dis-order.“Due to the national transport strike,

more people used private vehicles to en-ter the CBD,” he says. The City leavescrowd control to the police, Pascoe con-tinues, and officers would be the ones to

enforce any legislation on public urina-tion.Warrant Officer Bheki Xulu, the

spokesperson for the Green Point police,says officers are dispatched according tothe size of the crowd anticipated. “We in-crease the number of officers accordingto the amount of tickets sold, as somematches are smaller than others.” Con-cerns over the public urination had beenbrought to the attentionof thepolice afterthe game, Xulu says.“Many people don’t want to wait to use

the toilets. We’re looking at whetherthere is a need for portable toilets, but thefans also need to be educated on how tobehave.”Meyer is also fuming about the heaps

of litter left at the stadium.Goebel is worried about the upcoming

Bon Jovi and Justin Bieber concerts,scheduled to take place tonight and to-morrow respectively. However, Meyer islessworried abouthooligan revellers andthinks traffic control is the bigger issue.“The noise is contained in the stadium.The only concern is traffic.”However, Pascoe says residents have

no reason to be worried. “The City andthe event organisers and relevant author-ities will put a plan in place, as it doesfor all events.”Pascoe says extra Law Enforcement

and police will be on duty, and in viewof the bus strike, commuters are encour-aged to use trains, or park in the CityBowl and use the Fanwalk. He adds: “Ourofficers are going to be very strict interms of parking, and we ask revellers toco-operate.”

REACHING OUT: PAMPER FOR CAREGIVERS

Help yourself to help othersTARREN­LEE HABELGAARN

DOES your job leave you feelingstressed? Have you in the last sixmonths considered changing to an-

other workplace?These are all questions Anthea Appel, a

final-year Social Work student from UCT,has asked of her colleagues at Childline.“I find that with the demand for social

workers in the community and the in-crease of case loads people are gettingburned out faster,” says Appel.Childline is anNPO that offers individu-

al counselling and group counselling tochildren who have experienced abuse,trauma and/ or bereavement. They also docommunity work whereby they host age-appropriate prevention workshops atschools to inform children about whatabuse is. This is aside from the workshopsthey have with child caregivers to identifysigns of abuse.They equip otherswith the knowledge of

which procedure to follow when reportinga suspicion of abuse or neglect.Another important aspect of Childline is

their telephone help line. Children canspeak to a trauma counsellor over the tele-phone via this line.Appel says as a result of the broader so-

cial ills within South Africa, the field ofchild welfare, especially in the NGO andNPO sector, “is under great pressure inmeeting the needs of all the children who

face these realities”.She, therefore, decided her community

project for her field practical course wouldbe to provide the staff members with a dayof relaxation and recuperation.The event will also have a particular em-

phasis on personal all-round wellness and

stress management.The programme will entail a talk on

workplacewellness and staff appreciation,as well as a pampering session.“I did a surveyandeveryonewhopartici-

pated reported ailments related to stress,which in turn refers to the stress of the

job,” says Appel.She says ironically one usually finds

that peoplewhodedicatemost of their timeto looking after others, take very little timeto take care of themselves.“The need for social workers is big, but

statistics show that many only stay withone job for six months because of the pres-sure.“It is, therefore, important that there are

structures in place to promote workplacewellness, so that people can depend on oneanother,” says Appel.Cheryl Morilly, a social worker and

manager of the Wynberg Childline office,says everyone at the office is looking for-ward to the pamper session on Friday 10May.“Many people in the office work long

hours because they are dedicated and feelthey have a calling for the job,” says Mo-rilly.She feels it is important for people to

take a stand for children and be a voice forthem.Shewould also like to call on the commu-

nity to become proactive in the fightagainst child abuse.“I would like to encourages people to

come forward and be a volunteer,” saysMorilly. “We need more people who arewilling to assist with early interventionprogrammes in the community.”V Anyone interested in volunteering can contact theWynberg Childline office on (021) 762 8198.

Congestion as strike drags onRICHARD ROBERTS

IT IS 18 days into the national bus strike andthe train andmain routes remainpersistent-ly congested.No consensus has yet been reached be-

tween bus drivers and their employers, andthere is no end in sight to the strike.Richard Bosman, the City of Cape Town’s

head of Safety and Security, says traffic con-gestion has increased since the start of themass action more than two weeks ago.“My staff have indicated there has been an

increase of between 25% and 30% traffic onthe main routes of the R27, the N1 and N2,”Bosman says.About 200 000 Golden Arrow commuters

are being affected by the strike.Metrorail spokesperson Riana Scott says

the rail service transports about 16 000 addi-tional commuters daily.All 47 MyCiTi buses, which stopped run-

ning last Friday, remain stationary.Gary Wilson, the secretary-general of the

South African Road Passenger BargainingCouncil, said a new proposal had been con-veyed to all the relevant parties. He wouldnot elaborate on the content.But Satawu spokesperson Vincent Ma-

soga said the proposition had been rejectedand the strike would continue.Barry Gie, from the Commuters Bus Em-

ployers’ Organisation and the spokespersonof the employers, said they are concernedabout the impact the strike is having and isaiming to resolve the matter speedily.“We cannot offer the double-figure in-

crease,” he said.Anele Mpalala, a taxi driver with a route

between Philippi and Cape Town, said he isnot really benefiting from the strike.“I am not transporting more people. It’s

basically just one more trip for each driver.“The bus commuters are opting to use the

train.”Since the start of the strike, some busi-

nesses have indicated they had not yet beenhit hard by it.Fred Jacobs, the president of the Cape

Town Chamber of Commerce and Industry,said a survey had found that eight of the 15members polled said they had not been over-ly adversely affected by the action.The members were also questioned about

their workers’ attendance.“Two of the 15 said they were not affected,

while the remainder indicated their work-ers do arrive late. The employers have beenorganising transport for their staff.”They were also asked about staff produc-

tivity. “Eight companies said theyhad to asktheir employees to work over weekends andextra hours. In some cases,management col-lected their workers themselves.”

Homemade goods are a hitTARREN­LEE HABELGAARN

ITMIGHToperate as a library during theweek, but on weekends Tokai Librarydoubles as a mecca for all things home-made.Whether you are looking for knitwear,

woodwork, cakes, jams or preserves theSaturday and Sunday craft market iswhere you will find it.Carol Moody, a Tokai resident, started

the craft market four years ago after be-ing disappointed by other markets.“I got tired of being pushed around by

craft markets and then decided to startmy own,” says Moody.She decided Tokai Library was the per-

fect venue as the rentwas reasonable andit had all the facilities, such as toilets anda kitchen, available.“It is also great because, come rain or

shine, we can have a market at this ven-ue. If it is a nice sunny day we can usethe lawns and patio area and when itrains we use the hall,” says Moody.When asked what makes this market

different to any other, Moody says it isa happy and relaxedmarketwhere every-one feels like family.

“People come and sit here even thoughthey don’t sell anything because of the in-teraction and socialising,” says Moody.She also stresses another important

fact is this is not a flea market. Everyitem sold must be homemade.“You can’t just buy a t-shirt, add a pic-

ture and say that is homemade. All goodsat the market must be homemade craft,”says Moody.Leigh Fox, who has been selling at the

market since it opened in January 2010,says she tried selling her products at afewmarkets, butwas delighted to becomea part of this one.“It has the best atmosphere by far and

the people are all family. You can leaveyour things if you quickly need to run tothe shop and someone will look afterthem,” says Fox.Fox has 21 different products, mostly

consisting of a variety of preserves andjams.All her products have been approved

by council says Fox.She says another factor that works in

her favour is the fact thatMoody tries notto take people who have the same craft.“I don’t like to double up on food sellers

because they can’t keep theproducts until (the follow-ing) week,” says Moody.Fox says her best seller is

her ginger preserve.“One man used to have

his preserves importedfrom the United Kingdom,but after tastingmine he nolonger does,” a proud Foxsays with a smile.“He buys about six bot-

tles at a time so that itlasts,” she adds.Themarket operates eve-

ry first and third Sunday ofthe month as well as everysecond Saturday of themonth.“I would also like to en-

courage more crafters tojoin ourmarket.More vari-ety meansmore people willattend the market,” saysMoody.V Contact Moody on073 157 6266.

AS WINTER approaches, some ugly and discomfiting cer-tainties remain.Year in and year out, Cape Town shacklands are flooded,

stormwater drains overflow – often with raw human waste– and fires in informal settlements claim innocent lives.These are the realities for those people living in poverty

on the Cape Flats and in backyards of parents, siblings andlandlords.Electioneering promises at the inception of the birth of

this country’s democracy have failed persistently to pro-duce those “houses for all”.It should be borne in mind that there is no quick fix to

addressing the incredible housing backlog, coupled withpopulation expansion and a flux of citizens relocating fromrural areas in search of work, as well as foreigners seekinga safe harbour.But perhaps houses for all alone is not the answer. At

least, in the case of curbing fires.In many informal settlements there is simply no way for

vehicles of fire fighters to get close enough to a blaze. Thedwellings are built close to each other and there are no realroads. The battle could be fought – even won – on the partof residents and government through education.Each year, toomany people are left homeless after a blaze

which started in one dwelling spreads like a proverbialwildfire to neighbouring shacks.The tally of lives lost is heartbreaking. What few posses-

sions some people own are quickly burnt to cinders.At the weekend a pregnant woman and her daughter (2)

died in a fire in Vrygrond. The blaze was reportedly causedwhen a candle lit bedding after falling over.The time has come for those individuals, private compa-

nies and government departments with the will to sourcesafer options for burning candles, cooking and heating ininformal settlements to step up to the plate.One death is one too many. In a country that has been

at the forefront of innovation and intelligent concepts, itwould hardly take a few sharp minds to produce safetymechanisms that would astound in its simplicity.

Recycling the better optionTHE letter by George Wyngaard (“Collect-ing dirt is council’s responsibility”, People’sPost, 23 April) refers.Refuse collection represents one of a range

of services delivered by the City of CapeTown. The majority of Cape Town’s resi-dents receive a single 240 litre refuse con-tainer for domestic refuse. This is the normlocally and internationally.We strongly encourage residents to see the

value and environmental benefits of sepa-rating waste at source and recycling waste.Not only does this dramatically reduce thevolumes of waste going to landfill, but indi-rectly creates a space of opportunity for theunemployed market.There are a range of recycling facilities

available: private, commercial and govern-ment-run. These facilities enable residentsto practice waste separation at source, con-tributing to less recyclable waste going toyour bin and ultimately to landfill. Due totheir location, proximity and spread, itshould not, in most cases, necessitate the re-quest for an additional bin service. Addi-tionally, many schools have recycling pro-grammes. The City recommends that resi-dents enquire at schools and make use ofthese facilities.At national level, a decision was made to

replace the 80 litre bin with a 240 litre bin.

The 240 litre bin would then be equal to 3x80litre bins. However, should residents wishto make use of an additional container theycan request for it at City approved rates.With regards to the issue of staff, the City

sees that staff structures are managed ac-cording to a corporate, rational model. Thisallows not only for a consistent salary struc-ture, but for full adherence to the principleof having the right people, in the right place,at the right time to maximise service deliv-ery.To further increase levels of service deliv-

ery through staff, the City maximises staffpotential through effective human resourc-es management, staff training and staff de-velopment.In all programmes, strict monitoring is

rigorously adhered to to ensure the needs ofconstant service delivery are always beingmet.Only by being completely open and con-

stantly monitoring ourselves can we ensurewe deliver the most to our citizens.Formore informationon the role and serv-

ices of the City of Cape Town’s Departmentof SolidWasteManagement, please visit ourwebsite http://www.capetown.gov.za/en/SolidWaste2/Pages/default.aspx.Ernest Sonnenberg, Mayoral Commit-tee member for Utility Services

I often ‘sleep’ through the bin collectionAS AN elderly lady I have to put my refusebin out the night before collection. The nextday – due to erratic sleeping patterns, as alot of elderly people have – I sleep (through)

the collections (time) at 7:30.I hope the authorities keep people in their

golden years in mind.Kathleen Howard, Bergvliet

In memoryof a dearfriendI WOULD like to honour Mrs Agnes Ad-elaide Banks, a 91-year-old friend of thePlumstead community. She was born on 23February 1922 and sadly passed on 17 April2013.Ather funeral therewere several accounts

of memories shared.I would like to share the favourable im-

pression she made on me in the 29 years Iknew her.Agnes could be lonely in a crowd because

she was always the carer, always looked af-ter everyone else and forgot herself manytimes.We, as friends, always automatically load-

ed her with our baggage.She would not hurt a fly.In her younger days shewouldwait for the

bus in Main Road and be accosted by a pros-titute who felt Agnes was standing in herspace. We will not mention it aloud, but Ithink she talked theprostitute into changingher life!Agnes always said tome: “Donot crywhen

I am not there any longer. Love me while Iam alive.”Her friends were all from different walks

of life and scattered all over the world, butgave her the warmth her heart needed.Two things that has stayed with me forev-

er. We went to a Military Parade and satwaiting for the president to arrive. Therewas a lady that sat close to us and could notstop talking. If you know Agnes, you willknow she is a fine lady – something likeQueen Elizabeth; very well-mannered. Aswe left the function, she commented: “Sjoe,that lady had verbal diarrhoea.”Being Afrikaans-speaking I did not at first

understand her humour.Something that will also stay with me is,

when I complained that a friend of minecould never stop fault-finding, her answerwas: “Youknow,mygirl, that friend of yourswill always complain about everything andanything. Even if God came down to earth,it would not please her.”Ingrid de Klerk, Email

Your SMSes. Please, Christians inChrist, let us fast andpray about these evil spirits deceiving ourpeople in the Western Cape. Let our LordGod’s full fury fall upon thewickedmenwhoroam our province.

PEOPLE'S POST | CONSTANTIA | WYNBERGTuesday, 7 May 2013 GENERAL 11NOORDHOEK: COUPLE GO THE DISTANCE

Crossing continents for the childrenAN ADVENTUROUS retired couple are

planninga road trip fromthenorthern-most tip of Europe to the southernmost

tip of Africa.Noordhoek residents Stan and Sally Han-

nath aim to raise awareness and funds forthe new Nelson Mandela Children’s Hospi-tal in Johannesburg.The cape2cape4kids epic road expedition

will cover 27 countries and 28 000kms, andis intended to last about four months – fromJune to October.They will travel through Germany, Den-

mark, Sweden,Norway, Finland, Russia, Es-tonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine,Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey, Egypt, Sudan,Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Burun-di, Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana,Namibia and, finally, South Africa.Stan says: “Our planned and self-funded

overland journey, called cape2cape4kids,will take us from NoordKapp in Norway toCape Agulhas in South Africa. We plan tovisit many hospitals and schools along theway to raise awareness for the new chil-dren’s hospital in Johannesburg.”The Nelson Mandela Children’s Hospital

will be one of only five dedicated children’shospitals in Africa.Currently there are only four hospitals

serving 450 million children on our conti-nent. The couple says this compares dismal-ly to Canada which has 23, Germany whichhas 20 and Australia which has 19.This hospital will epitomise Nelson Man-

dela’s love of children and is considered his

final legacy to the children of Africa.He adds the fourth United NationsMillen-

nium Development Goal, stated in 2000, wasto reduce child mortality.They hope to raise sufficient awareness

and funds through their journey to imple-ment this global goal.The dedicated and self-funded team is

looking for sponsors, both corporate and in-dividual South Africans, to support thecape2cape4kids cause by donating funds to-wards the new Nelson Mandela Children’sHospital. They are hoping to raise R10 perkm travelled, so hoping for R280 000 for 28000 km travelled. All donations will gothrough the recognised donation sitesGivengain and Justgiving.The Hannaths are funding their own jour-

ney, so all donations will go directly to thehospital.Sibongile Mkhabela, CEO of the Nelson

Mandela Children’s Hospital Trust, says:“Stan and Sally’s mission to travel not on-

ly across countries but also across conti-nents, is as inspiring as it is humbling. Weare honoured that they have chosen the Nel-son Mandela Children’s Hospital Trust asthe beneficiary of their fundraising endeav-our, and we look to the global community toalso consider how they can to help Madiba’swish for a dedicated children’s hospitalcome true.”V You can follow Stan and Sally’s epic journey throughstories and photographs posted on their blog, Face-book and Twitter.

Take advantage of free clinicsCRITICAL healthcare services will be of-fered in Masiphumelele and Ocean View be-tween Thursday 9 to Saturday 11 May.The free clinics are offered by the Rotari-

ans for Family Health and Aids Prevention(RFHA) through its signature programme,Rotary Family Health Days (RFHD).The RFHA initiates and coordinates this

programmewith the other partner organisa-tions.RFHD– a comprehensive, holistic offering

the critically important issue of HIV/Aids,but always included other health care serv-ices.The 2011 pilot was held in Uganda and

Camps Bay hold out against WesterfordLIAM MOSES

CAMPS BAY High School managed tohold off a late fight-back from Wester-ford in a tight encounter on Saturday.

Westerford outscored their hosts by fourtries to three, but three missed conversionsmeant the Rondebosch school still wentdown 25-23.DeanCottle, Camps Bay’s head coach, was

happy with the victory, but believes his sidecould have put in a better performance.“Thematch was a bit scrappy and our ball

retentionwasnot great, but the teamshowedlots of guts and individual brilliance,” saysCottle.“The boys also really wanted get back at

Westerford because they beat us last year.”Cottle’s side had the better of the opening

exchanges in the game and camped in theWesterford half for the first ten minuteswithout scoring. The hosts eventuallyopened the scoring in the 11thminute, wheninside centreRaaqib Siljeurs slotted a penal-ty.Westerford hit back almost immediately

with a try from eighth-man Zain Allie anda conversion from flyhalf Fareez Davids inthe 14th minute.However, the lead lasted just three min-

utes, until Siljeurs powered hisway over thetry-line past several would-be tacklers.Siljeurs missed the subsequent conversion,but succeeded with his next attempt after

centre partner Masisuble Masekuwanascored Camps Bay’s second try.Westerford refused to be outdone and they

again crossed in the 30th minute, whenloosehead prop Logan Arendse found spaceon the left wing.The scoring continued around 15 minutes

into the second-halfwhenSiljeurs scoredhissecond penalty. And the hosts stretchedtheir lead again when flyhalf Chad Cloetecrossed for another touchdown, whichSiljeurs converted.The balance of power then shifted and

Westerford fought back with two tries in thefinal ten minutes.First inside centre Luke Cloete bundled

his way over from inside the 22 and Allie

scored his second in a carbon copy ofCloete’s try.Cottle blamed the fight-back on a lapse in

concentration from his players.“They started thinking about the result in-

steadof concentrating on the game,”he says.“But theymanaged to get it back in the end.”Westerford will feel disappointed at hav-

ing lost the game, as they held their own inevery facet of play and outperformed theirhosts at the breakdown.Camps Baywill be looking to build on this

victory when they face Zwaanswyk (A) onSaturday 11 May, while Westerford willhope to improve their first time tackling andgoal kicking before their clash against Edge-mead (A) on the same day.

Young hockey players learn the ropesTHE growing interest in hockey washighlighted on Tuesday 30 April as 220young players from around the southersuburbs gathered at theWynberg Astro-turf Complex for the Sporting Chanceday-night Hockey Super Skills Chal-lenge.Hockey Super Skills, a skills training

course, comes at a time when the atten-tion onhockey continues to grow follow-ing the relative successes of both themen’s and ladies’ national teams at theLondon Olympic Games in 2012.The event was run by Wynberg Boys’

High School and Sporting Chance.Wynberg has produced some of the

country’s best hockey players, withWayne Denne, Ian Haley, Lloyd Norris-Jones, Rhett Halkett and Jonty Robin-son among the list of Old Boys who havemade their mark on the South Africanhockey scene.Brad Bing, managing director of

SportingChance, hailed theopportunityto work with Wynberg Boys again.“It’s a privilege towork so closelywith

a school that has produced so many Ol-ympians. Yet, the Wynberg way doesn’tonly reach hockey, but also cricketwhere they have produced the Proteasduoof JacquesKallis andRichardLevi,”

says Bing.“School sport is the key to a successful

sporting heritage in our country. This isno more evident than when you look atour sporting success and where the rootof that has been.”A long-timeugly stepsister to themore

popular rugby, soccer and cricket, thereis a change afoot as schools are takinga keener interest in the sport.The aim of the Super Skills Challenge

is to test players’ technical ability. Play-ers with better technical skills on ahockey pitch are at more of an advan-tage to the average player.The event helps coaches see where a

player may lack in their skillset andtherefore where they should aim to de-velop the player during the hockey sea-son.The five skills - goal shooting, passing,

dribbling, yard-stick and the dummygive a well-rounded test of what wouldbe required of a player to elevate theirgame to the next level.Wynberg-Sporting Chance Hockey

Super Skills also presented an opportu-nity to extend the demographic of hock-ey in the country, with an invitation totheLangaHockeyClub topresent a teamon the day.

reason to participate, as the Red Cross Chil-dren’s Hospital Trust has been confirmed asthe official beneficiary.Sean Burton, marketing manager of Qual-

ity Beverages, the producers of Jive, urgesall participants to donate to the Trust.“The Trust is really close to us – as a com-

pany, we have been supporting them foryears. We specifically target most of our ini-tiatives at the youth market,” says Burton.“Wehaven’t confirmed an amount yet, but

we have also offered the Trust as an officialbeneficiary for runners to donate. We are al-so asking that all participants get involvedby donating some funds. There has been talkof sponsoring rand-for-rand value, but wehaven’t really confirmed that.”Anyone interested in entering can do so

LIAM MOSES

MORE than 4 000 walkers and runnersof every ability level are expected tofill the streets of Cape Town for the

third annual Jive Slave Route Challenge onSunday.The event will again be hosted by Lion of

Africa Itheko Sport Athletic Club, one of thelargest running clubs in South Africa.People’s Post is the printmedia sponsor for

the second year. The Challenge features ahalf marathon, 10km fun run, 5km fun runand 10kmwalk, over courseswhich takepar-ticipants past some of Cape Town’smost his-toric sites.Donny Jurgens of the City of Cape Town’s

department of sport and recreation, saysthey chose to partner with Itheko becausethe race’s uniqueness.“The Jive Slave Route Challenge is not an

event in which you are likely to make yourpersonal best. This is not a race for the fastand the furious,” he says.“This is not to attract the top Ethiopians

to come and run in our city. This is a differ-ent kindof race.Ourdepartment isnot aboutpersonal bests; our department is about cele-brating life, celebrating culture, celebratinghistory and celebrating the fact that peoplefrom all walks of life and all shapes and sizesparticipate in a mass running event.”The race will start in Darling Street, be-

tween the Grand Parade and City Hall, be-fore winding its way around the City Bowl.Some of the landmarks passed along the

Bluebells back on the fieldthat we had a committee to speak to andthat we were able to put our case for-ward.”Bluebells sued the CDLFA in Septem-

ber 2011 after failing to win a tender torun the tearoom and cafe atWilliamHer-bert in 2010, alleging that the tender proc-ess was flawed.After finding in Bluebells’ favour, the

Wynberg Magistrate’s Court also serveda warrant of execution against CDFLA’sproperty in February and the club wassuspended two days later.Bluebells failed in their initial at-

tempts to have the suspension over-turned and then met with a CDLFA com-mittee a week after the protest.The LFA’s executive committee subse-

quently met with the delegation that en-gaged with Bluebells and the agreementwas voted by the Cape District generalcouncil.Cloete says the club has instructed its

attorney to drop the case, as per the de-tails of the agreement.However, he refused to list what Blue-

bells would receive as part of the agree-ment. He says the agreement prohibitsthe club from giving any specific detailsto the media.Winston Engledoe, president of Cape

District LFA, also refused to comment onthe matter.

LIAM MOSES

BLUEBELLS AFC played their first foot-ball matches of the season on Saturdayafter their suspension was lifted by theCape District Local Football Association(CDLFA).The Wynberg club won a R81 000 law-

suit against CDLFA in December, butwere subsequently indefinitely suspend-ed from all football in February forbreaching the organisation’s constitu-tion for taking legal action.Bluebellswere also banned fromenter-

ing William Herbert Sports Grounds inWynberg by the venue’s Municipal FieldManagement Committee after protestingat the grounds on Saturday 16 March.However, the matter between the or-

ganisation and the clubhas nowbeen set-tled out of court, after theCDLFAgeneralcouncil ratified the details of the settle-ment agreement on Wednesday 24March.Club chairperson Rashied Cloete says

the club is happy to be back at Cape Dis-trict and on the field.“We are relieved because we wanted

our juniors to play. The CDLFA wantedthe same,” he says.“We are satisfied, happy and relieved

that it has come to an end. We are happy
