From Silvertownto silver screenEARL HAUPT

@EarlHaupt

Julian Cleophas has lived most of his lifein Silvertown, but due to a series ofevents, now has a vested interest in the sil-ver screen.Silvertown became his home after living

in Kuils River for the first five years of hislife.After journeying through Turfhall Pri-

mary School and Belgravia High School, heeventually ended up studying a B.Sc courseat the University of the Western Cape.However, his path would take a dramatic

turn after enrolling at the Raymond Acker-manAcademy (facilitated by theUCTGrad-uate School of Business) where he studiedentrepreneurship. While there, Cleophaswas introduced to the world of modelling,which afforded him the opportunity to trav-el the world while participating in variousfashion campaigns. The environmentopened up the door for him to pursue a ca-reer in filmandproduction.He still pursuedalternative career paths while modelling.“After the entrepreneurship, I was pursu-

ing an educational initiative called i-Wizzkidswhichwas a concept Iwas pushing thatwas focused on an incentive-based onlineeducational platform for high school stu-dents to find educational resources and pro-vide them with a social networking plat-form to enhance academic achievement.”However, following a stint in Raizcorp’s

Pitch and Polish competition, Cleophaslanded up at Visual Impact. There he metUga Carlini, director of Alison.Alison is based on the true story of Alison

Botha, who was raped, stabbed and disem-bowelled – and survived to rebuild her lifeas an inspirational speaker. Botha’s storywas first transformed into a best-sellingbook “I Have Life” which has been translat-ed into seven languages and a perennial onPenguin’s best seller list since 1998.According to Carlini, this is the first time

Alison has ever allowed cameras into herhome.Critics have described Alison as one of

South Africa’s most hotly-anticipated hy-brid films. “Deploying a bold mixture offairy tale idiom and unflinching franknessto tell its story of survival, resilience andtriumph,Alisonhas already been dubbed “astory of monsters, miracles and hope.”Locally it has been selected for the En-

counters International Documentary FilmFestival (Thursday 2 - Sunday 12 June) aswell as theDurban InternationalFilmFesti-val (Thursday 16 - Sunday 26 June). Alisonwill also be the opening film of the MzanziWomen’s Festival on Friday 5 August andis set for an exclusive Nu Metro Women’sMonth theatrical release on Friday 12 Au-gust.Cleophas says that being part of the

project has been nothing short of inspiring.He says that the entire experience was al-

so a learning one, because from amodellingand acting perspective, he only got to seeone side to the entire process, but since hehas been at Visual Impact and involvedwith theAlison project, it becamemore spe-cific to what he was promoting.“You have to attach an identity behind

the brand. There has got to be a feeling withregard tohowthis specific film isdealtwith.You have a person who is a hero to manypeople, who is this element of hope, a sym-bol of ‘I can’. You know,where thingsmightnot be the best, but it is okay.”A special, free, filmmakers in conversa-

tion event with director Uga Carlini andAlison will be hosted on Saturday 4 June at10:00 at the Encounters Film Festival at theV&A Waterfront Cinema Nouveau. Thissession explores the complex relationshipbetween filmmakers and their subjects – de-veloping trust, negotiating access andwalk-ing the fine line between the public and theprivate.V For more information about the movie, visitwww.alisonthemovie.com.

@nickymccain

A CCTV camera installed at the WashHouse Quarry has already yielded suc-

cesses, after running for only three weeks.The camerawas installed to address crim-

inal activity at the quarry, which houses aninformal settlement referred to as Kraal.Of the 23 families living there, all but five

have been relocated to a housing develop-ment in Pelican Park (“Divided over reloca-tion”, People’s Post 17 March 2015).Ward councillor Dave Bryant says of the

remaining families, one family declined tomove, while the other four have experi-enced delays around their paperwork.Benedicta van Minnen, Mayco member

for human settlements, previously told Peo-ple’s Post that the relocation “will affordfamilies better and more dignified livingconditions”.The quarry site is also often used as a

hideout for criminals, which not only af-fects theKraal residents, but also the broad-er community of Bo-Kaap and Cape Town,she says.To address this criminal activity, the City

of Cape Town is securing the site, says Bry-ant (“Security moving in”, People’s Post 23February).The first of these measures was to install

a CCTV camera to monitor the quarry andChiappini Street, an access point to the Bo-Kaap, and also help pick up on suspiciouscars.

Costing around R165 000 from theward 77budget, the camera is linked to the City’scamera system and will be monitored 24hours a day, Bryant previously toldPeople’sPost (“City to have eyes on crime”, 28 July2015).As the quarry has been identified as ama-

jor source of crime across the Bo-Kaap, theCBD and Green Point, the camera will ena-ble enforcement agencies to monitor activi-ties in and around the site, Bryant says.“The camera has been monitoring the ar-

ea for the past threeweeks.During this timethey have spotted a number of incidents, in-cluding a drug deal. The CCTV unit alertedthe police who responded immediately. Thesuspects fled, but a search was undertakenat the site and nine packets of tik, 44 sticksof dagga and six mandrax tablets werefound and confiscated,” he says.Improved lighting is planned for the area

which will make the camera more effectiveat night as well whenmany of the incidentsare taking place, Bryant says.Trespassing signage was also erected two

weeks ago. “The sign aims to advise thosewho are not legally entitled to reside on thesite that theyare trespassing. Itwill give thepolice greater powers to act against thosewho are occupying the site illegally. Cur-rently only four structures remaining fromthe original historic settlement of 23 struc-tures and their tenants are allowed to occu-py the site,” he says.It is hoped fencing will be installed by the

end of this financial year, Bryant adds.

The Vredehoek Library will be closed un-til Sunday 3 July for maintenance.The library’s maintenance project will

include painting – inside and outside –new flooring, installation of a roof over-hang in front of the entrance, the refittingof staff areas and the remodelling of thelibrary downstairs, including carpets andpainting. Perimeter fencing will also beinstalled, says Belinda Walker, Maycomember for community services and spe-cial projects.

The project is estimated to cost just un-der R200 000.“Libraries undergo maintenance in a

planned cycle where specific libraries aretargeted for maintenance to keep thebuilding in a good condition as well asbringabout any changes thatwill improvethe layout of the library,” Walker says.“The library will still accept any re-

turned materials. Library users are en-couraged to use neighbouring libraries toreturn and take out library materials.”Neighbouring libraries include Kloof

CBD

CCID shows howto #KeepItCleanIt’s not often that an organisation can claimto use theft as a yardstick to measure a

campaign’s success, but that’s preciselywhat the Cape Town Central City Improve-ment District (CCID) did with its recentlyconcluded annual #KeepItClean campaign.

This year’s drive to raise public aware-ness about keeping the CBD’s streets cleanandhighlight the services that theCCIDpro-vides on a daily basis, was admittedly a littledifferent, though.

Instead of standard appeals not to litter,drop cigarette butts or dumprubbish illegal-ly, the campaign included disruptive streettheatre and the roll-out of a cheeky postercampaign throughout the CBD, targetingproblem areas.

For the defacing of public property, themessage was: “Think you’re an artist? Fine.Tagging and illegal posters could get you aR5000 fine. Don’t deface your space!”.

Littering messaging inquired: “Are you atosser? Fine. Littering could get you a R5000fine. Don’t litter!”

However, it was with one of the CBD’s big-gest problems that the campaign seemed tohave the most success. Mobilising an early-morning cleaning team from its NGO part-ner Straatwerk, various notorious illegaldumping sites which the CCID considers“hot spots” were targeted. A large notifica-tion of the infringement was put up for allto see, accompanied by a huge red arrowpointing at the dumping.

According to CCID chief operating officerTasso Evangelinos, the first measure of suc-cess was to see the public placing picturesof the posters on social media.

“From Twitter to Facebook, suddenlymessaging started to appear from members

of the public congratulating us on this initi-ative.”

Clearly though, the messaging didn’t sitwell with the culprits themselves, saysEvangelinos. Between the first and secondday of the campaign, four posters were sto-len and refuse was again dumped illegallyat those sites.

“The next day we simply put up the post-ers again. By day three the posters were stillup and nothing further had been dumped.”

Tons of refuse is illegally dumped on theCBD’s streets every year. Both unsightlyand a health hazard, it is very costly to re-move, taking up resources and manhoursthat could have been better utilised on moreconstructive projects.

“Before the campaign began, we identi-fied a couple of dozen dumping hot spotsacross the CBD and even where the posterswere not stolen, we have noted a decreasein illegal dumping. We hope the transgress-ors have taken the message to heart, andthat they are now more aware of how prob-lematic illegal dumping is. We also hope thepublic at large and responsible tenants willhelp us keep the streets clean by reportingillegal dumping to the CCID’s 24-hour con-trol centre on 082 415 7127.”

Richard Beesley, manager of the CCID’surban management department, explainsthat the CCID and its service providers de-liver top-up cleaning and urban mainte-nance to those provided by the primary ser-vice, the City of Cape Town. To accomplishthis, the CCID keeps the “areas between thebuildings” free of litter, and also undertakes(among other tasks) the removal of graffiti,minor road and pavement repairs, garden-ing and other beautification projects.

Raggies swimoff into sunsetRagged-tooth sharks, which have been

living at the Two Oceans Aquarium, arebeing released into the sea today (Tuesday).

The aquarium is set to release all the rag-ged-tooth sharks from the current I&JPred-ator Exhibit. Another release will also tak-en place onThursday 2 June and the sharkswill be released off Mossel Bay.

This is in preparation for the closing ofthe I&J Predator Exhibit for repairs in mid-June and the long-awaited opening of thenew large scale exhibit, the I&J Ocean Ex-hibit.

ResearchThe sharks have been tagged with inter-

nal multi-purpose transmitters. Thesetransmitters have a 10-year battery lifespanand will transmit to various acoustic moni-toring receivers that are dotted along thesouthern African coast.

“As with all our previous shark releases,we are really excited as wewill receive datafrom these transmitters for the next 10years, and through that will continue tocontribute to the scientific research being

conducted on sharks around the southernAfrican coast,” said Tinus Beukes, opera-tions manager of the Two Oceans Aquari-um.

TransportYesterday (Monday), aquarium staff re-

moved the first two ragged-tooth sharksfrom the I&J Predator Exhibit at around08:00. Divers manoeuvred each shark intoa transparent PVC cone. Once secured, thesharksweremoved to a holding tank placedinto the exhibit. From there, the sharkswere moved to a 6000F holding tank on theback of a transport truck. The truck andtank are fitted with complete life supportsystems that will maintain water qualityduring the journey to Mossel Bay.

Thismorning, the sharkswere transport-ed to the harbour, transferred to a boat andtaken out to an offshore reef for release.

A similar procedure will take place onWednesday 1 June when the second set ofsharks are removed from the I&J PredatorExhibit and transported to Mossel Bay forrelease on Thursday 2 June.

EDUCATION

Mind thegap yearMidyear exams are underway, and yourmatric scholar should be sharing their as-pirational plans. Do they want to pursuefurther education, join the working worldor a thought more scary… take a gap year?Parents often fear that their childmay be

left behind, sleep the whole day and partyall night; or, that they lose momentum andnever go back to study.Take a look at the pro’s and cons of a gap

year. Start by asking them a simple ques-tion: “what do you want to achieve by tak-ing a gap year?”Be open minded to the possibility that

your child is exhausted and uninspired aft-er 13 years of schooling. Your child maysimply be looking for opportunities to trav-el or grow their knowledge base throughwork experience. Perhaps they have plansto focus on other aspects of their personaldevelopment thoughcommunityworkor todiscover their drivingpassion.Your child’shappiness is as important as their inde-pendence.Another challenge to consider is the fear

of failure and separation from circles theyhavebecomesubconsciouslydependent on.Your child could be unable to see the impli-cations of their decisions made in fear ofbeing ostracised or rejected. Be aware ofthis emotional challenge and try seekingopportunities to expose themtonewexperi-ences, which will buffer their resilience tochange. Being able to adapt to a changingenvironment will help them cope through-out life’s curve balls.Keep in mind that children are encour-

aged to start thinking and making deci-sions for themselves earlier in life, versesdays when teenagers were forced to leaveschool early to seek employment. If yourchild is able to display a clear plan ofgrowth, even if just thoughmenial employ-ment opportunities, it might help themma-ture enough to realise that you can’t drivea Ferrari or find a solution to solve worldhunger without proper further education.Being able to take a gap year may be theone thing to help your child realise how for-tunate and necessary a higher education isto achieve your dreams.V This column was contributed by False Bay TVETCollege.

Remove artto restoreserenityI was at Kirstenbosch Botanical Gar-dens this morning (Tuesday 17 May)and horrified to see some “artwork”added to the beautiful little pool andwooden bridge, destroying the rusticpeace of this scene.This is a total travesty of everything

Kirstenbosch stands for – naturalbeauty, the one place one can viewnature in safety and quiet.William Sweet Love should remove

his stuff (“Water Wars”) and restorethis little corner of serenity. If he wantsa platform for his work then he shouldbuild his own little pool and put it inan exhibition hall of art – it is certainlyout of place where it destroys thenatural beauty. This is a world heritagesite that attracts thousands of visitorsfrom overseas..Thank goodness that I got a beautiful

photo of the pool and rustic bridge lastweek – now the scene is spoilt with abright blue statue and lots of red blobs(frogs? turtles?) floating in the water.Shame on you Kirstenbosch!There is also a huge pile of water

bottles on display in the courtyard asone enters at the bottom gate – a hugerectangle stacked and on top of it(unbelievable!) a huge post box red dogwith running shoes on (meaning?) – andin contrast just further along by thebeautiful pond water feature a wonder-ful display of big Bonsai trees, some 150years old – how incongruous is that!That is the sort of display the visitorshould be met with on entering theGardens. What does one come toKirstenbosch for – more garish stuffthat one finds all over cities? Surely onecomes to Kirstenbosch for naturalbeauty, peace and serenity?I spoke to other people staring in

disbelief at the scene and they were alsoshocked at this contravention of thevery thing Kirstenbosch Gardens standsfor.There is not even a bin on the

premises because it would upset theaesthetic beauty of the scenery, andnow this? What are the people whomake the decisions thinking?

Have your say onTafelberg saleThere has been a great deal of publicityaround the proposed sale by the WesternCape Government of the Tafelberg SchoolProperty on Main Road, Sea Point.The Phyllis Jowell Jewish Day School

(PJJDS), a non-profit community school,was selected as the winning bidder forthe purchase in November last year.PJJDS submitted its bid in terms of apublic tender and was selected based onthe merits of its bid.Earlier this year various groups began

a protested the sale. Their main conten-tion is that Province should se this landfor affordable housing solutions.In response and based on a negotiated

court order, the Western Cape Govern-ment has now re-advertised the proposeddisposal for comment from the public.This process is not only for those

opposed to the sale but also those insupport. It is important the publicunderstand the many benefits the salewill bring.Some of these benefits include:. Proactively breathing fresh life into

the Tafelberg School Property which hasbeen vacant and derelict for a number ofyears;

. Restoring and revitalising the ne-glected historic school building for re-useas a non-profit community school;

. Preserving and enhancing themagnificent heritage aspects of theproperty;

. Addressing the critical shortage ofspace for independent and communityschool facilities for the growing demandon the Atlantic Seaboard. Tafelberg isone of the few, if not only, remainingavailable and appropriately zoned sitesfor a school in the area;

. Attracting further investment intothe Sea Point area with consequentemployment creation and economicgrowth benefits in the area;

. Unlocking value for the Provincefrom the Tafelberg School Property at apremium price based on high land values

in the area. These proceeds can beapplied by Province to fund socialdelivery initiatives in the Province andthe city (including possibly into the areaof affordable housing). Similarly for theCity in terms of an enhanced rates base;

. Creating educational, cultural andrecreational facilities for the benefit ofthe community and the broader base ofSea Point residents and visitors to thearea;PJJDS has set up an online petition to

encourage and facilitate the public tovoice their support.The public can go online and sign our

petition which we will submit to Prov-ince as part of the public commentprocess. Alternatively people can writedirectly to Province with their comments.We do believe that access to affordable

housing in the city is critical in buildinga successful city that provides opportuni-ties for all of its citizens and whichfosters integration and social cohesion.However we are led to understand that,for a variety of reasons, not least thehigh land value and also the heritageaspects of the site, the Tafelberg SchoolProperty is not well suited for affordablehousing and that other city-wide solu-tions are available and would be moreoptimal. This is ultimately for Provinceto decide.We believe that the sale of the Tafel-

berg School Property to PJJDS is awin-win for all stakeholders includingthose that want to see value unlocked tofund social delivery in the cityTo participate in the online petition,

visit www.petitions24.com/sup-port_sale_of_tafelberg_to_pjjdsTo submit a public comment directly to

the Western Cape Government, write tothe Chief Director: Immovable AssetManagement, 4th Floor, 9 Dorp Street,Cape Town 8001 not later than Friday 3June.

LANCE KATZ,Phyllis Jowell Jewish Day School vice-chairperson

Withmore than 40 years in the local enter-tainment industry under his belt, DennisEast is truly one of South Africa’s livinglegends.In fact, the “Dammit I Love You” singer

from Harfield Village will be just one ofthe legends on stage for this year’sBakgatCountry Opskop at the GrandWest GrandArena on Sunday 5 June from 15:00. He’llbe joined byBobbyAngel –who celebrateshis 80th birthday this year, Tommy Oliv-er, Lance James, Barbara Ray, Steve Hof-meyrandRockingHorsealongwithCoun-try favourite Manie Jackson and up-and-coming artists Pieter Mohr and Dee-Dee.Dennis makes his return to the Bakgat

Country Opskop stage this year after hav-ing last performed at the concert in 2014.He promises to perform his biggest hitslike “TakemyHeart”, “Cry tome” and “AMillion Drums”, adding: “All of them aregoing to have a lekker country feel.”Dennis won’t just be performing at the

concert though; he’s also been helpingChristo Booyens fromBakgat Promotionsto put the show together.The two have beenworking together for

years. Dennis performed at Christo’sCountry Legends show after meeting himon the Toeka 2 tour and says he’s lookingforward to the production they’ll be pre-senting in June.

As a songwriter, musician and produc-er, Dennis knows a thing or two aboutwhat music fans want. He’s currentlybusy producinghis seventh album forMa-nie Jackson and says with pride: “All ofhis albums have achievedgold status, with a number ofthem even going platinum.”When he isn’t busy in his

Blue ViewMusic studio, Den-nis is still very busy with livework.“I’m pretty busy, right

around the country, forwhich I’m very grateful.”Dennis has been making

music since the early 70s. Hereleased his first of many hitsin 1974 before joining the rockgroup Stingray in the late 70s.When he toured with Steve

Hofmeyr in 2006 for Toeka 2,people started recognisinghim for his Creedence Clear-water Revival medley. Themedley has now evolved into an 18minutelong version called “Creedence Non-Stop”, which he’ll be releasing on the newalbum he’s working on.While the album will only be released

around August, Dennis has an idea ofwhat he’d like to call it: Still Breathing.

“Even if it is with an oxygen tank andparamedics,” he jokes.On a more serious note, Dennis says he

still has lots of energy when it comes tohis live performances.

Dennis says he’s crazyabout the energy of musicand loves the people he getsto work with, especially theartists he’ll be joining at thisyear’s Bakgat Country Op-skop. “I think it’s a verystrong line-up…. from Ma-nie, to Steve, to Tommy Oliv-er who’s never performed atthe concert before.”V Tickets for this year’s BakgatCountry Opskop at GrandWest’sGrand Arena from 15:00 on Sunday5 June cost between R135 and R175from Computicket with discountsavailable for children and blockbookings.

Tennis development in the Western Capeis getting tuned in with some support

from top talents.Empext and WP Tennis will be hosting a

gala jazz fundraiser at the Artscape OperaHouse on Saturday 18 June starting at 18:00.One of the organisers, Joey Fourie, ex-

plains that this initiative has been put inplace to address social change in poorercommunities in the metro (and elsewhere)through sport – in particular tennis.The project has started with tennis be-

cause it presents a fantastic lifelong sport

option and vehicle for imparting life skills.“It also presents a huge development oppor-tunity because tennis structures in mostcommunities have collapsed. Today, it costsa child R15 000 per year (at the entry level)to learn to play tennis because the onlycoaching programmes in existence are pri-vate programmes.”V For more information call Joey on 084 880 7012 oremail [email protected].

Milano United have missedthe chance to gain promo-tion from the National First

Division (NFD) after being held toa 1-1 draw in their final leaguematch against Baroka FC.Milano needed to beat Baroka

and hope results elsewhere wenttheirway in order to sneak into thepromotion playoffs for a spot in thePremier Soccer League (PSL) nextseason. They seemed to have aidedtheir cause after Mzwanele Ma-hashe opened the scoring to givethe lead, which they carriedthrough to half-time. However,they would be pegged back by Bar-oka’s ThabisoKutumela to give thehosts a valuable point which sawthem claim the NFD title and gainautomatic promotion.

The result meant that MilanoUnited finished sixth on the table,five points from a potential thirdplace finish, which would haveseen them qualify for the playoffs.In other results on Sunday, San-

tos, already assured ofNFDsurviv-al, succumbed to a spirited FCCape Town at Athlone Stadium,while Cape Town All Stars couldnot provide Milano with a much-needed favour when they lost toMbombela United at the Kanyama-zane Stadium.Other results from the final

day of the NFD:Witbank Spurs 5-1 Moroka Swal-

Football3 initiative lays down rootsJOSEPH PILLAY

Non-governmental organisationOasis have introduced a footballprogram, called football3, to thecommunities around their organi-sation’s base in Schaapkraal withthemain focus being to educate theyouth in the skills of fair play andrespect using football as a tool tocarry over the message.It was introduced at the youth

centres within the communities tofocus on scholars after school, whouse the centre on a regular basis.Since its origins in Medellin, Co-lombia, football3 has been furtherdeveloped by the “streetfootball-world” network members aroundthe world into a comprehensivemethodology to address a range ofsocial topics, such as gender equal-ity, health and peace building.According to Clifford Martinus,

founder and chairperson of Oasis’Reach For Your Dreams, football3empowers young people to take re-sponsibility for their actions andtreat others fairly.The programme is named after

its “threehalves” – apre-matchdis-cussion, football game, and postmatch discussion.The groundbreaking initiative

incorporates key life lessons intoevery match. In mixed-genderteams, players collectively decideon the rules before the game.Following thematch, they reflect

on their behaviour and the behav-iour of their opponents, withpoints awarded for goals as well asfor fair play. As football3 is playedwithout referees, players mustlearn how to resolve conflictsthemselves through dialogue andcompromise.Amediator is appointed for each

match, but is not actively involvedthe actual game itself. He or sheconducts the pre- and post-matchdiscussions and delivers a verdictif there is any decision which can-not be resolved. All other decisionsare decided by the participating

players, who judge and awardpoints for their opponents level offair play and adherence to the setout rules.In 2015, Oasis rolled out this pro-

gram into organised football at ajunior level, focusing on youth un-der theageof ten.Afterdiscussionswith the South Peninsula LocalFootball Association (LFA), it wasdecided to introduce the football3concept and methodology to theyoungsters of the local clubs.After a successful launch and ac-

ceptance of this program, it was re-introduced at the LFA level withthe vision of spreading it to otherLFA’s in Cape Town and eventual-ly across the country.Meanwhile, Oasis is sending a

delegation to streetfootballworldFestival16 in Lyon. The festival isscheduled to take place from Fri-day 1 July to Thursday 7 July.There will be six members of the

delegation; a delegation leader, ayouth leader and four players. Theparty is also split evenly betweenmales and females to promote gen-der equality and to show solidarity

across the globe. Once the mem-bers are in France at the festival,they will participate in variousworkshops, meet new friends andplay in the football3 tournament.Eugene Minords and Martine

Samuels have been selected to go toLyon, France as the Oasis delega-tion and youth leaders respective-ly. Minords is originally fromBon-teheuwel and now lives at Oasis fa-cility in Schaapkraal. He wasselected to lead this group of chil-dren based on his personal growthachieved. He has being involvedwith anti-social activity to now be-ing a SAFA D-license coach and isa living example of what happenswhen you say “no” to doing wrong.Samuels has proven beyond

doubt that it does notmatterwhereyou come from but where you areheading in life. She was selectedas the youth leader andwill also beattending the Festival16 in Francewith Eugene and four other youthsfrom the programme.The Homeless World Cup is next

in line and takes place from Sun-day 10 July to Saturday 16 July.
