CAPE TOWN CARNIVAL

Athlone drum group to wow again“Don’t do drugs, do drums” is

the motto the members ofLimited Edition Drum Corps liveby. They create awareness aboutgangsterism, poverty and violencein Manenberg through their im-pressive choreography and sticktricks on snare drums.The group helps boys living in

Manenberg stay off the streets.“We feel it is important that our

youth is informed. The fact thatmany young people in our commu-nities are using drugs as part oftheir social and recreational lifes-tyle does notmake this a safe or ac-ceptable practice. It is only by col-lectively working to take the ‘cool’factor out of drug use, that we canhelp safeguard the lives and healthof the young people,” says directorYaggie Sampson.The Corps had its fair share of

challenges, from borrowing drumsto enter SA’s Got Talent to the con-stant disturbances of gangsterism,crime and overcrowding. Howev-er, they never let this stop themfrom reaching their dreams.The talented group wowed audi-

ences with their energetic per-formance at the Cape Town Carni-val last year. They have since beeninvited to perform nationwide.They will perform at this year’sCape Town Carnival again, whichwill take place along the GreenPoint Fan Walk on 12 March from16:00.“Cape Town Carnival taught us

many skills in the field of perform-ingarts – teamwork,unity andhowto represent ourselves in the enter-tainment world,” says Sampson.“It was an honour to meet othergroups and artists and collaborateon ideas, but the best part was onthe day of the event, when the en-tire community came together asone big family”.“Our dream would definitely be

to further expand the group andperform at the Cape Town Castleand the EdinburghMilitary Tattooin Scotland.”The group also aims to collabo-

rate with sponsors to get their ownequipment and transport.V For more information on the Cape TownCarnival visit the TheCapeTownCarnivalpage on Facebook.

Limited Edition Drum Corps from Manenberg will be performing in the Cape Town Carnival again this year.

Gatesville group in Carnival againThe Vadhini Indian Arts Academy inGatesville, founded by Shrimari SavitriNaidoo, has been entertaining locals andtourists for 36 years.The internationally recognised academy

was established in Cape Town and special-ises in traditional Indiandancingwith a lo-cal twist. The dancers are committed to

bringing diversity to the Cape arts scene byexposing locals to different religions andcultures.“We aim to inspire and instil a sense of

beauty and increase the appreciationof Indi-an arts,” says senior dance instructor MayaKooverjee. “We are proud to share Indianarts with the community.”

The academy specialises in Bharata Nat-yum, a south Indian art form, which istaught on a workshop basis. The academy isalso involved with the Footprints project,which focuses on the social integration ofrefugee children using dance as a mediumto support pupils with barriers to learning.

Dance as barrier breaker“We are passionate about continuing to

better the community and hopefully in thenear future introduce our own outreach pro-gramme,” says Kooverjee. “We recently per-formed in the classical Indian play NrityaAlankaaram that showcased the most in-spiring Indian dance forms and epitomiseswhat the academy has to offer.”The academy’s performers have dazzled

Cape Town Carnival spectators since 2010and will continue to show off their talentsat the seventh annual Carnival along theGreen Point Fan Walk on 12 March from16:00.“Cape Town Carnival has allowed us to

showcase what our academy has to offer ona much larger scale,” says Kooverjee. “CapeTown Carnival has helped us in more waysthan one. It has helped raise awareness forthe academy, introducing the public to Indi-an arts and it has helped the students of Vad-hini academy to be a part of an iconic eventandperform in front of thousandsof people.”V For more information on the Cape Town Carnivalvisit the TheCapeTownCarnival page on Facebook.

A 45-year-old man was stabbed to deathin Manenberg on Tuesday last week.

Manenberg police arrested a 25-year-oldman in connection with the incident, whichtook place in Lyne Road before 17:00.

After responding to a call from a commu-nity member, police were shown to the de-ceased’s body, which was lying in an openfield next to houses in Lyne Road.

“It is not clear why the 45-year-old wasstabbed. He was stabbed in the chest and hebled to death on the open field.

“The possibility that he was stabbedsomewhere else and walked and collapsedon the field is being investigated,” saysLieutenant Ian Bennett, Manenberg po-lice’s spokesperson.

He says the suspect initially fled thescene on foot, but was later arrested. Ma-

nenberg police’s detectives started their in-vestigation by interviewing neighboursand onlookers.

“With a lot of persuasion and skilful ques-tioning Constable Sizwe Gwele found outwhere the suspect was hiding,” says Ben-nett. As Gwele started down Letaba Road,a mob of community members tried to stophim from arresting the suspect in an effortto dish out justice of their own.

Bennett says Gwele then needed to usehis firearm to prevent the community fromoverwhelming the suspect, which couldhave led to them eventually killing him.

“They threatened police members be-cause they wanted instant justice. Gwelestood his ground with support of other po-lice members and metro police. They man-aged to get the suspect out of harm’s way.”

The suspect was injured by the mob andtaken to Heideveld day hospital for treat-ment.

Carmen’s jazz apart of journeyGARY VAN DYK

@gvdcapejazz

Amusical journey that started in Mitch-ell’s Plain has reached a major mile-

stonewith the launch of Carmen Xclusive’sdebut CD.Many music lovers will simply know her

as Carmen Herbert or, if you’re a bit moreold-school, “Carmen from N2”.She laughs when acknowledging her as-

sociation with the popularband.“Yes, that was a very im-

portant part ofmy life,my ed-ucation and training in themusic business, but it startedbefore I joined them,” shesays.While, like so many musi-

cians on the Cape Flats, theroots of her talent are in thechurch, she used to sneakaway to the Inn on the Plainto listen to Rudolph Paulseand the band Horizon.“I loved the music; it just

meant something special tome and eventually I was per-suaded to enter a singingcompetition there and therest as they say is history.“Offers came in forme to performat caba-

ret shows and I was only 14 at the time, butI fell in love with the business and just en-joyed singing.”

Singing sweet 16As word spread about the young talent

she joined upwithMike Kwagga’s Nuff-Zedwhen she was 16 and a year later joined theWentzel brothers in N2.“Performing with them for almost ten

years was an exciting time forme. This wasalmost likemegoing to college and learningto hone my talent.“Eventually I felt that I wanted to take a

step up in my career by going beyond theclub scene, get into the corporate scenarioand work in a wider variety of styles.“That’s also when I decided to become

Carmen Xclusive as a brand that wanted toshow the world my own identity and thatthere’s only one me,” she laughs.Since then she has impressed music lov-

ers with the best in the business in SouthAfrica and discovered the jazzier side of hertalent with Ian Smith’s VJR and various

collaborations with the likes of RichardCaesar, Allou April and Robbie Jansen.With the release of her album, Xclusive

Nites @ Pigalles, she has surrounded her-self with some of the best around town.Camillo Lombard produced the albumwithhis band Top Dog backing her as well as abrass section comprising Ian Smith andWilly Haubrich.Carmen confesses she has been going

around to some of the popular radio sta-

tions but can’t get any of them to featurethe album on their playlists.This remains a mystery because every

tune on this album is a carefully craftedgem.“It’s an album of my favourite covers

done my way,” she says.“Volume 2 I am going to give the word

some of my originals.”She openswith theDavidFoster composi-

tion “Love that will Last” and the qualityof the voice that made so many love her isimmediately evident. The magic just keepson coming your way.She takes some pop classics like “Get

Lucky” and Amy Winehouse’s “Valerie”and twists them into tunes that could fea-ture in an album of new jazzy standards.Even Charlie Chaplin’s “Smile” featureswith a funkier kind of feel.With a debut like this let’s hope Carmen

gets back into the studio quickly to give theworld some more of her musical magic.V For more information on where to get the albumemail ladycarmen.ch@gmail.com or call Bernie on079 871 9855.

The last few weeks of comments and observations sharedon social media have shown us that racism is still aliveand well in South Africa.More than 20 years into our “new SouthAfrica” we still

findpeopleholding on toprejudices that shouldhavebeendiscarded long ago.Many are even quick to use racism as an argument

against rational criticism, especially with regard to thegovernment.While some may claim that racial tensions are a com-

plex problem, made up of skewed history books, culturaldifference, class systems and generations of indoctrina-tion, none of these points provide any reason to treat an-other human being with disrespect.Science has shown us that on average, humans share

90% of their DNA with other humans with only 10% dis-tinguishing one population or race from the other.And archaeologists have shown us that broadly speak-

ing, we all share the same ancestors.At our very core, we are all made up the same. In fact,

pigmentation is merely the result of humanity’s adapta-bility in nature and the body’s response to ultraviolet ra-diation.Further investigation shows that darker complexions

weredeveloped in the tropics, closer to the equator,wherethere is more need for protection from harmful sun rays.Why then would this be any reason to treat anyone any

differently?Others say that racial belief structures have been

passed on through generations and would be impossibleto change.Cognitive psychology, however, has shownus thatwith

a little work, it is indeed possible to change thought pat-terns.Perhaps it is time to start reconsidering the way we see

the world, and to start changing our thought patterns?

Fireworks are sadisticSociopaths show a pervasive pattern ofdisregard for the rights and feelings ofothers. They live for the moment,forgetting the past and not planning thefuture, not thinking ahead about theconsequences their actions will have.They want immediate rewards andgratification.The use of fireworks is a sociopathic

behaviour because fireworks have anobvious and pervasive destructive effecton everyone, including the personlighting the fireworks.This New Year the carnage from

fireworks was worse than ever. Allaround the country, there were firesresulting in major environmentaldestruction, human injuries, thousandsof lost and terrified, injured animals,many of whom lost their lives, and thedisturbance of the peace of everyonewho has a right to privacy that fire-works invade.Let’s examine the pros and cons of

fireworks.Pros. “Fireworks are fun.” Well, yes, butfun at the expense of others is somethingonly a sociopath or sadist finds enjoya-ble.. “Fireworks are a legitimate religiouspractice.” This is absurd. See below.

Cons. Environmentally destructive, pollutesthe air and results in debris. Disturbsbirds and other wild animals.. Firework noise is pervasive andviolent. This is disconcerting for manypeople including the elderly, posttraumatic stress disorder sufferers, smallchildren and for that matter anyone whoprefers peace and quiet in their ownhome.. Fireworks terrify animals. This is notsomething that can be avoided bylocking animals in as some suggest,since they can still hear the explosions.There are many animals that cannot begiven sedatives, like shelter animals,strays and wild animals in any givenarea.To make matters worse, these socio-

paths do not stick to the allotted times,

with the result that animal ownerscannot predict when their pets will besubjected to terrifying noise.. Lastly, since there are no fireworksmanufacturers in South Africa, most ofthe money spent on fireworks doesnothing for the local economy.

Religous supportThe notion that fireworks are a

legitimate religious practice is bizarre.Religion is supposed to raise humanconsciousness, to make humans moreaware of their responsibilities, to seebeyond self-indulgence and understandthe negative impacts of a given practice.If that practice results in pain andhardship to others, religion shouldoppose, not support, the practice.It’s a no-brainer to anyone except a

sociopath that fireworks are not anacceptable expression of culture, religionor tradition.

Government-sanctioned schizophre-niaOn the one hand we have noise laws

that prohibit noise in residential areas,and fireworks by-laws that allow themduring certain periods for either tradi-tional or religious festivals. This ambigu-ity in legislative policy is schizophrenic.The same goes for the emergency

management services giving permissionfor displays to be held at schools, whichis prohibited by fireworks by-laws. Whatis the point in having laws if the councilis just going to give people permission tobreak them?Since the Animals Protection Act

states that it is an offence to terrify ananimal, fireworks should be prohibitedin any residential area. Yet we haveby-laws that allow fireworks in residen-tial areas. This is inconsistent.Government needs its head read.The use of fireworks is hopelessly

incompatible with any ethic one canthink of – they have no benefit whatso-ever. They need to be prohibited inprivate hands as soon as possible.

‘Drunk driversare murderers’Upon reading and seeing the festiveseason statistics we have to thank theofficers of all our law enforcementagencies for their efforts to prevent roadcarnage and promote safety on ourhighways and byways.What was disturbing was the number

of drivers arrested for drunk driving.These criminal actors must be regardedas potential serial murderers on ourroads and the law must be amended tomake it easy, very legally easy, toconvict them. In turn, the justice depart-ment has to impose or be requested toinstitute harsh jail sentences.Years ago, as a police officer, I would

in my statement under oath on arrestinga driver for drunk driving, state how thecar was being driven on a public roadand note the smell of alcohol on thedriver’s breath, the driver’s slurredspeech as well as the driver’s attitude.After the arrest the driver would betaken to a doctor and blood would betaken.The whole objective was to obtain a

guilty verdict for the driver on a chargeof drunken driving, which would carrythe heavier sentence.Now, if we see the almost desperate

technical situation law enforcement hasto implement to prove drunken driversguilty, one gets the impression that thedrunken driver has carte blanche inrelation to his rights if ever convicted. Itseems the most problematic issue is theblood samples of the driver getting lostor contaminated or corrupted.Why is the statement of the arresting

official and the witness not sufficient ina court of law to get the drunken driverguilty?The law must bend constitutionally in

favour of the statement and evidence ofthe witnesses in drunken driving cases.The other proposal is that the bloodsample must only come into play whenthe drunken driver appeals. I think thatwill really get a driver thinking twicebefore he drinks and drives.

Softballers face tough rivalsJOSEPH PILLAY

Westridge Yankees’ softbal-lers can be proud after hav-ing a very good andwell de-

served harvest on the Cape TownSoftball Association’s super leagueplaying fields over the weekend.The Mitchell’s Plain side first

staved off a stiff challenge by Fal-cons, beating them 5-0 in an en-counter at Turfhall Stadium onSaturday.This victory was followed by a

thrilling knockout encounter onSunday when St Martin’s cameclose to upstaging the Yankees ina see-saw game. The Yankees man-aged to rise to the occasion to edgeout Saints 6-5.Saturday’s win over the Falcons

served as a morale-boosting tri-umph for the Yankees, who weredetermined to break the strangle-hold Falcons have had over themin recent months.The Yankees were in a destruc-

tive mood, with the battery combi-nation of pitcher Megan Cable andcatcher Carla Witchman sharingin four strike outs.Cable faced 23 batters in her six

innings pitched. While she conced-ed two base-on-balls and earnedfour fanned scalps, she surren-dered only twohits toCandiceRoss(1-3) and Bettina Philips (1-3), whoweighed in with a two bagger.Meanwhile, Falcons started off

withCathyBuckley and shewasonthemound for 4.1 of an innings. Shefaced 22 batters and allowed sevenhits while relief pitcher Nicky

Jones (1.2 of an inning) faced ninebatters and surrendered three hits.Among the ten hits the Yankees

clobbered off the Falcons’ pitching

pair.Witchman (2-2), Cable, JackieAdonis (each 2-3), CharmelleWhiteboy (1-2), Candice Bull (1-3)and Nuraan Williams (1-4), who

smacked a triple, were in goodstead with the bat that contributedto runs and simultaneously a de-served and industrious win.

JOSEPH PILLAY

The Cape Town Softball Association (CTSA) is bat-tling to keep its head above water due to lack ofsponsorship. The organisation was once regardedas the most successful softball body in Africa, butthis crown seems to be slipping in recent years.In an in-depth, exclusive interview with CTSA

chairperson Noore Nacerodien, he admitted thegame of softball needs a change in fortune as thecommunity cannot afford to play sport anymoredue to the high cost of fees, transport and equip-ment.Lack of financial backing from benefactors has

now urged Nacerodien to do something about thisand “instead of begging for handouts to ensure thecontinued existence of our organisation, we mustget off our backs and look at ways of raising fundsto keep our heads above water”.

Golf day fundraiserNacerodien says one such fundraising initiative

planned is a “city of champions” golf day event atthe Mowbray Golf Club on 17 April.Nacerodien is making an appeal to golf enthusi-

asts to bust out their nine-irons to help CTSA.“For many years the selected provincial and na-

tional softball players had to pay their own way totournament championships.“The poorer clubs are suffering due to their cash-

strapped coffers to travel to venues to play and hon-our fixtures, with the result that many defaultshave occurred in recent times and over the years.Clubs have been struggling and cannot afford to payfor transport.“Another aspect and bone of contention is that

some of our affiliated clubs have little or no equip-ment. Thus formany years theminnow sport codes,like softball, baseball, etc., failed to obtain assist-ance from the corporate world.”Nacerodien is confident that the fundraising

event could help ease the burden.He is appealing to potential sponsors and compa-

nies to partnerwith the organisation to donate priz-es and goody bag items.Companies are also invited to purchase green

putting branding packages, ranging from R4000 fora one four-ball hole, and on the green putting surfa-ces fromR10 000 toR35 000 for either silver, gold andplatinum sponsorship packages.Nacerodien says he was told that the Mowbray

Golf Clubhad gained a reputation for hardly havingto close the course due to adverse conditions duringthe wet season.The fundraising event invites golf enthusiasts to

play an 18-hole game in four-person teams.Entry for the tournament costs R1400 per four-

ball or R350 per player.V Interested parties and companies can contact Nacerodien on076 566 7774 or chairperson@capetownsoftball.com.
