CASTLE OF GOOD HOPE
Cheer 350 ‘with balance’NICOLE MCCAIN
@nickymccain
Three hundred and fifty years ago, thefirst cornerstone of the Castle of GoodHope was laid.
Built by the Dutch East India Company,which established a refreshment station inthe Cape to cater to the trade route betweenthe Netherlands and Indonesia, the Castle isthe oldest existing colonial building inSouth Africa. It replaced an older fort, con-structed from clay and timber, built by Janvan Riebeeck upon his arrival.A recent ceremony to commemorate the
laying of the first cornerstone also celebrat-ed the history of the Castle.In those 350 years the stronghold has seen
many transitions, occupations and battles,says Calvyn Gilfellan, CEO of the CastleControl Board.“Since there was a river nearby and Van
Riebeeck’s fort 100maway, therewouldhavebeen a Khoi community living on land thatwould have had grazing,water holes, indige-nous forest, small game and what is todayknown as coastal fynbos,” he explains.“The area where the Castle is today was
not simply an open, unoccupied naturalpiece of land just waiting for the Dutch East
India Company to build the Castle on.”With the Castle built on land used by in-
digenous people, the commemoration mustpay homage to those who were “dispos-sessed from their land, marginalised, de-stroyed and treated as third-class citizens inthe land of their birth”, says Gilfellan.“However, the contributions of the Dutch,
English and other Europeans will not be de-nied at all; it is simply a matter of balance.”
For allOnce a place associatedwith slavery, pris-
oners and torture, the Castle is now a placeall South Africans can relate to, he says.
“All people must be able to feel welcomeand associate with the Castle and its history– good, bad or ugly. For instance, Robben Is-land has been a place of banishment, incar-ceration and pain – but people want to gothere. We want the same for the Castle,” hesays.“It must move from a place of pain, exclu-
sion and persecution to one that is inclusive,reconciliatory, healing and educational.”The Castle was originally the headquar-
ters of the Dutch East India Company andthen became the seat of the Dutch colonialpower.V Continued on page 4.
Ward councillor Jacques Weber(pictured in the middle) recentlyunveiled a new permanent umbrellabench at the V&A Waterfront. Theart installation was donated byPieter Toerien Productions tocoincide with the season of themusical Singin’ in the Rain. Weber isflanked by dancers (from left)Richard Gau, Mila de Biaggi, SebeLeotlela, Thalia Burt and JarrydNurden who all starred in theproduction. The bench was conceptualised by Michael de Beer fromTheatre on the Bay, designed by AnyIdeas and created by M3E Engineering.

Patients try out horse playMove over, man’s best friend.
There’s a new animal bringingcomfort and treatment to patients,specifically individuals with men-tal health problems.Equine assisted psychotherapy
(EAP) is being piloted at Valken-berg hospital.Sixmale forensic patients,main-
ly with a diagnosis of schizophre-nia, have been selected for the pi-lot, says Nafisa Abdulla, chief oc-cupational therapist atValkenbergHospital.“These patients were socially
withdrawn and did not engagespontaneously, they had no majorcognitive deficits and someof themhave a history of aggressive behav-iour,” she says.
Pilot projectOver an eight week period, pa-
tients are able to interact with thehorses andparticipate in therapeu-tic exercises via grooming or set-ting out obstacles, either in pairsor in groups.“The aim of the pilot project is to
improve theparticipants’ ability towork and function in a group, de-crease irritability and aggressivebehaviour, while improving inter-personal and social skills.“Although minor, my team and
I have seen distinctive improve-ments in the selected patients dur-ing the course of the programme,”says Abdulla.With similar social and respon-
sive behaviour to humans, horseshave been noted to be a hugely ben-eficial mechanism in therapy ses-sions for individualswith avarietyof emotional and mental health is-sues, says Fiona Bromfield, a trus-tee at the Equinox Trust.The Trust is a registered non-
governmental organisation (NGO)that specialises in EAP and equineassisted therapy (EAT).Although there are many forms
of EAT, EAP specifically focuseson the emotional and mentalhealth of participants.“EAP is an innovative and crea-
tive method for addressing a widerangeof therapeutic andemotionalneeds in individuals. It is a short-term, collaborative effort betweena mental health professional and ahorse professional. Strategic activ-ities are established for the partici-pant to partake in with the horse,excluding riding,” explains Brom-field.Although animal-assisted thera-
py isn’t uncommon, horses re-
spondandreact differently to otheranimals, she explains.Because horses are herd and
prey animals, they are highly at-tuned to changes in non-verbalcommunication in order to main-tain the safety of the herd.
Horse language“Horses are able to accurately
assess the state of being of an indi-vidual and communicate it non-verbally. Thus, these animalsmake great companions for psy-chotherapy, because they can mir-ror and instantly respond to hu-
man behaviour. There’s also ahealing bond that can develop be-tween humans and horses. EAPutilises this relationship with thehorse as a tool to mirror a partici-pant’s experiences and facilitatechange and development.“Participants are able to com-
pare their experiences with thehorses to their real-life experien-ces.”Bromfield says unlike tradition-
al talk therapy, EAP is a uniquemethod which enables partici-pants to learn about themselveswhile they interact with the horse.
The observed feelings, behav-iours and patterns are discussed.“EAP isunique in that it doesnot
require clients to ride or get on tothe horses; instead, clients are pre-sented with semi-structured tasks,such as to catch and halter thehorse, move it around and get thehorse to walk through and over ob-stacles. It is the interpretationsthat participants assign to the in-teractionswith the horses that pro-vide vehicles formaking therapeu-tic improvements,” she explains.The therapist, in turn, takes the
participants’ interpretations fromtheir horse interactions and craftsmetaphors, which are used duringand after the therapy sessions tohelp participants with developingand retrieving emotional and be-havioural responses.
Interpretation“This metaphorical process is
self-reflective, encouraging partic-ipants to develop insight and sup-porting the identification and ex-pression of thoughts, behaviourand emotions.“It is the stories which emerge
from these metaphors that enableour programmes to have a lastingimpact andenable the client to takewhat he learns when interactingwith these horses back to his life,”she says.The process engages partici-
pants on a physical, mental andemotional level simultaneously,Bromfield says.“As humans we remember 20%
of what we hear, 50% of what wesee and 80% of what we do; thus,our actions are the reasons experi-ential learning is so effective.”The Equinox Trust team has
worked with a variety of individu-als, including children, families,recovering addicts, abusedwomenand individuals looking for an al-ternative to traditional therapies.
Equine therapy is being piloted at Valkenberg hospital. Here are Nafisa Abdulla, chief occupational therapist atValkenberg, Fiona Bromfield, trustee at the Equinox Trust, Dr Marc Roffey, psychiatrist at Valkenberg, Noeline Nune,occupational therapy technician at Valkenberg, Rowdah Hawtrey, senior occupational therapist at Valkenberg, andSarah Garland, trustee at the Equinox Trust.

Car-free day in Bree StWalk, dance, skate, cycle – Bree Street
is open to anything on Sunday exceptdriving.Open Streets Cape Town will take over
the street to transform it into a temporaryaccessible public space.Open Streets is a citizen-driven initiative
working to change how streets are used,perceived and experienced, where “a streetor section of a street is closed off to tradi-tional motorised transport and creates atemporary network of non-motorised areasand routes throughout the city”.Last year, the organisation saw between
10 000 and 15 000 people taking to the streetto exercise, play and express themselves.Marcela Guerrero Casas, managing di-
rector of Open Streets Cape Town, says:“An Open Streets day is an opportunity tore-imagine public life and use of our streetsby creating a temporary road closure. Allresidents and visitors from across CapeTown, as well as local business owners, areinvited to join us from 10:00 to 15:00 in co-creating a new way of experiencing BreeStreet.”No extraordinary regulations are in ef-
fect except that cars will not be allowed.This means that the street will be open formovement (including emergency services,if needbe), no infrastructurewill be erectedand everyone will be welcome to take part,Guerrero Casas explains.The organisation has, in partnership
with the City of Cape Town, run other suc-cessful Open Streets days in Observatory,Langa and Bellville.The recurring event plants the seeds for
regular Open Streets programmes, saysBrett Herron, mayoral committee memberfor transport.“We hope to seeOpen Streets become less
of an event andmore of away of livingwithshared streets in our city becoming morecommonplace.We hopeBree inspires other
communities to openup their streets by clos-ing them to traffic for a number of hours ona regular basis.“We are currently working with the orga-
nisers to establisha framework that can ena-ble communities across Cape Town to hostan Open Streets.”From a bicycle hub to live music, zumba
and a gymnastics display the day promisesto be another showcase of community spiritand talent, Guerrero Casas says.“Jump on the train, MyCiTi bus, a mini-
bus taxi or your bicycle or skateboard andjoin Open Streets Cape Town to experiencethe CBD in a radically different way.”V For more information visit www.openstreets.org.za.

MOUILLE POINT
New ice attractionon beachfrontNow Cape Town children can enjoy glid-
ing around an outdoor ice rink on hotsummer days.This as an outdoor synthetic ice rink
opens at the Rotary Blue Train Park inMouille Point.The installation of the ice rink was the
brainchild of Cape Town businessmen Se-an Holmes and Cornelis Ouwehand, whohave led a project to restore the RotaryBlue Train Park and develop it into a fami-ly outdoor play experience.The park, which is open to the public and
can be hired for a children’s party, has un-dergone substantial refurbishment in thepast 15 months, including painting of theplay equipment and garden landscaping.A large portion of the park’s income is
donated to Rotary. Everything else is in-vested back into park operations andmain-tenance.
The ice rink, which was opened onWednesday 30 December, is a key part of thepark’s restoration project.Made of Xtraice Pro panels, the 126m2 rink
was partly sponsored by PenBev, the localbottler and distributor of Coca-Cola Compa-ny products in the Western and NorthernCape.The ice panels are self-lubricated with the
highest gliding degree in the industry. Therink is also environmentally friendly as itdoes not require electrical power to operate.Similar ice rinks have been installed in 70countries around theworld, including enter-tainment parks like Disneyland.V Children between the ages of three and 12 may rentice skates and take to the rink for 30 minutes at acost of R30 or skate for a full hour at a cost of R50.V For more information about the Rotary Blue TrainPark visit www.thebluetrainpark.co.za or contact084 314 9200.

Record visitors line upfor city’s attractionsRecord-breaking numbers of visitors tosome of the city’s top attractions maymean this festive season has been one ofCape Town’s busiest holiday periods ev-er.The cableway and Robben Island saw
soaring visitor numbers, with other bigattractions also sharing positive fore-casts.The cableway had a record December
with 28% more visitors than in 2014, re-portedly because the weather was ex-tremely good and they were open everyday.Robben Island Museum recorded the
highest increase in visitors in December– 43% more tourists than in December2014. More tickets were sold than thehighest recorded since 2010 of 43 208.The V&A Waterfront’s visitor figures,
measuredat theVictoriaWharfShoppingCentre only, have also shown an increase
for December compared to the previousyear. The Waterfront also welcomedabout 180 000 visitors on New Year’s Eveover the 24 hours.Kirstenbosch welcomed almost 115 000
people in December, excluding the popu-lar Summer Sunset concert audiences.The increased numbers of visitors can
be attributed to a variety of factors, in-cluding events such as the Sevens rugbyseries and the England vs SA cricket test.The busy festive weeks in December
are very important to the tourism indus-try, but the summer season stretchesfrom October to after Easter, explainsCape TownTourism spokespersonNicoleBiondi. “We are very happy with the De-cember school holiday period and lookforward with cautious optimism to a suc-cessful summer season still ahead. We’realso looking at 366 days of tourism thisyear, as we’re a year-round destination.”

“After that the British took over and ruledfor a short while and then it then fell backinto Dutch hands,” says Gilfellan.The British took power again and ruled
until the establishment of the South AfricanUnion in 1910.“The Castle then became the military
headquarters of the defence force untilabout 20 years ago. Today it is a well-re-nowned heritage site and tourist attrac-tion,” he says.The Castle currently houses four muse-
ums, hosts indigenous language classes,
skills development classes and had almost170 000 visitors last year.The Castle is currently undergoing a
R108m facelift. The project is due to be com-pleted in September next year.The seven buildings within the Castle
walls will be repainted and get new carpen-try. The deteriorated waterproofing on theroofs and ramparts will be replaced and thestonemoatwalls and bankswill be repaired.The project also includes the refurbishmentof murals, renovations to the Dolphin Pooland specialist plaster repairs.

The additional interventions to helphomeless people over the festive season
will run until the end of January.The City of Cape Town’s street people re-
integration unit will work closely with cen-tral improvement districts and other orga-nisations to reduce the number of peoplemoving to the streets, as well as antisocialbehaviour like aggressive begging.The project will focus on the city centre,
Green Point,Muizenberg, Bellville and Par-ow, with the aim of reducing the number ofpeople living on the street through inter-ventions like screening people, distributinginformation aboutCity programmes and re-sources, referrals to social and health servi-ces and reintegration with their families.It follows a pilot project in the city centre
in December 2014, which also signalled thelaunch of the City’s reintegration unit. Theinitial deployment focused on a number ofareas likeGreenmarket Square, StGeorge’sMall, Long Street and the Grand Parade.The team identified a number of challenges,including many street people and beggarscaught in the grip of substance abuse, streetpeople selling donated food to local vendorsfor cash, an unwillingness to accept helpand members of the public who are una-ware of the City’s “give responsibly” cam-paign, says Suzette Little, mayoral commit-
teemember for social development and ear-ly childhood development.“Wehave daily interventions aimed at as-
sisting street people, but the festive seasondoes see an increase in people migrating tothe streets –whether for potential economicgain or because of family and other socialreasons. As with any other city, we’recaught in the unenviable position ofmanag-ing the rights of street people and those ofthe rest of the population. Street people can-not, and should not, be marginalised, butnor canwe ignore thedaily complaints fromacross the city about the impact street peo-ple have on the lives of others,” she says.The reintegration unit facilitated a re-
turn home for 85 people in its first threemonths of operation.“We also have a number of preventative
programmes that are being run in commu-nities to prevent more people from endingup on the streets. It is hard work, becauseall our interventions are voluntary.We can-not force anyone to accept our assistance.Some prefer the lure of the streets becausethey don’t have to account to anyone, butalso because it is profitable thanks to dailyhandouts. I really wish the public could be-gin to appreciate how damaging the streetcorner handouts are to our efforts and alsothe lives of the recipients,” Little says.
