An empty plot in District Six has become home to a handful of informal shacks. But the settlement is rubbing salt in the wounds of beneficiaries who have been waiting years to return home, says District Six Working Committee chairperson Shahied Ajam. “It shows how everyone is ignoring redress,” he says. “What impression does it create when the land earmarked for resti- tution is not even being safeguarded?” The ease at which informal settlements can spring up on the land has been highlighted by various threats of occupation by community organisations, Ajam says. However, resident Melissa Morris says she has been living on the land for several years and is aware that it has been earmarked for claimants. “They can’t go against their word. If they give the land to claimants we’ll have to find another place to sleep. But we don’t disturb the neighbours and they don’t bother us,” she says.

The Dis- trict Six Community Forum was constituted to look after the safety and security of the returnees in the area and is made up of people currently living in District Six,” he says. The District Six Reference Group oversees the orderly integra- tion of District Six beneficiaries through its social integration team, Worsnip says. Richard Bosman, executive director for safety and security, says the City’s law enforcement teams conduct regular patrols in the area. These efforts are supplemented by patrols by the local neighbour- hood watch, Worsnip says. However, Ajam is calling for the Land Claims Commission to step in and secure property intended for claimants. “The government wants the world to believe District Six is sacred ground, but it’s not looking after District Six. At this rate, there will be nothing left for claimants,” he says.

Locals protest GMO foodCapetonians have taken to the street to de-mand correct labelling of genetically modi-fied foods.

As part of an international protest, themarch took place in the city centre on Satur-day.

Protesters claim that authorities have giv-en into a handful of biotechnology compa-nies by failing to require testing and label-ling of genetically engineered foods.

The march is a pro-organic, anti-transgen-ic genetically modified organisms (GMO)campaign being held on six continents and

in over 500 cities worldwide.GMOs are organisms whose genetic mate-

rial have been artificially manipulated in alab through genetic engineering, says eventorganiser Jeannie Ross.

“GMOsare engineered towithstanddirectapplication of herbicide and/or to producean insecticide,” she says.

Concerned citizens aim to spread aware-ness about the possible harmful effects of ge-netically modified food, to demand the rightto natural medicines and to support localsmall and organic farmers.

@jeranji

The South African Schools ShakespeareFestival is around the corner and schoolsare working around the clock to prepare forthe festival that will take place at Artscapefrom 22 to 25 June.Different Cape Town school will be taking

part in this festival that has been runningfor more than eight years. Amongst otherplays to be performed is Measure measureand Macbeth.One such school is Micklefield School in

Rondebosch. Its Grade 7 pupils are takingpart in this festival for the very first time.The class of 25 girls will perform A mid-

summer night’s dream on with a local inter-pretation so that itwould bemore appealingto their age group.Drama teacher Deborah Gildenhuys says

the festival is a good platform for people tolearn from each other.“Children will be sharing the techniques.

Everybody approaches the play in a uniqueand different way but what’s important isto learn from each other. The kids are ner-vous but excited because this is their firsttime doing this. The collaboration is aboutenjoying themselves, but they should learnas well,” she says.Participating schools have performed

their opening scenes for each other in aworkshop, building excitement for them.The Micklefield pupils are rehearsing

during their Drama periods but as they getcloser to the festival they will be rehearsingon Saturdays as well.

Joane Tudhope, personal assistant to theheadmistress, says the school’s pupils arelooking forward to the festival.“This will be their first time on a profes-

sional stage. We are looking forward to thenight when our children take to the stage.We want our children to learn from eachother and take something from it when theysee their peers perform,” she says.Some of the other schools taking part are

Herschel Girls’ School, Greenfields Prima-ry School, Sans Souci High School, ChrisHani High School, Amy Biehl Foundationand Vista Nova School.The Shakespeare Schools Festival comes

from the United Kingdom as an extramural

education programme, aimed at improvinglanguage and social skills through the per-forming arts.Each year the festival encourages schools

throughout the country to performversionsof Shakespearean plays for thirty minutesin their local professional theatres. It offersan opportunity for youth to explore their po-tential in a fun, developmental way.It offers high school students the opportu-

nity to engage their education curriculumfor the first time on a professional stage.This thrilling, non-competitive environ-ment builds capacity, character and fostersan appreciation for the use of language inliterature.

Roaming animalsbetter off at homeTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

“Looking after the animals is very impor-tant as it helps create a healthy envi-

ronment for people.”This is what the Friends of the Liesbeek

believe. They work tirelessly to make surethat animals that stray from their naturalhabitat return there – at all costs.

Last week Monday, they helped two ottersback into the water after they had wanderedoff from their usual homes. One of the otterswas found in a house in Observatory andthe second one was found in Retreat. Thissecond one was found stuck between a wen-dy house and metal sheeting.

The otters were fairly stressed, but lucki-ly they were not injured. The Retreat-visit-ing otter was released immediately, as hewas quite agitated with the number of peo-ple around him.

The Observatory visitor was taken to theshort-term wildlife care facility in GrassyPark, and was released on Monday withanother otter from Salt River.

Though these animals might look friend-ly and harmless, people are urged not tocome close to them as they have sharp teethand they might bite if they feel threatened.

Friends of the Liesbeek manager KyranWright says it is very important that whenpeople find these stray animals they keepaway from them and call the relevant au-thorities so that they can be returned totheir rightful homes.

“Animals wander out of their range attimes and people must just make sure thatthey are in a safe place. Make sure you don’tcome close to them as they might be harmfulat times. We must help by making sure thatthey are returned to where they belong.This is not only important for them but for

people as well. Animals are important forthe food chain and most of all they keep theenvironment running so that people alsoenjoy a healthy living,” says Wright.

SPCA spokesperson Wanika Davids alsoemphasises the importance of making surethat wild animals go back to where theycome from.

“Generally we try to release any animalthat we rescue as close to where it comesfrom as possible. This is because any ani-mal has its own territory and habitat. Ani-mals also contribute to the local food chainwithin their own habitat, and so it’s impor-tant not to disturb nature.

“We share the city with fantastic wildlife,who also call this home, and so we shouldrespect them and their habitats as much aswe respect our own. They’re part of our nat-ural environment, fauna and biodiversity,”she says.V Residents who find any unusual wildlife in their gar-dens or homes, that appear injured, displaced or dis-tressed, should contact the Cape of Good Hope SPCAimmediately on 021 700 4158/9 or after hours on083 326 1604.

An otter found in Observatory was releasedback into the Liesbeek River on Monday.

The Rotary Club of Newlands wants tomake sure that entrepreneurs succeed.To help it sponsors the recently launched

Pitch and Poster competition of the TertiarySchool in Business Administration (Tsiba).Students enrolled in the entrepreneurshipcourse are encouraged to enter the competi-tion.They stand a chance to win a share of

R15 000 in prize money, which is sponsoredby the Rotary Club.Abraham Oliver, manager of the Ignition

Centre at the non-profit tertiary businessschool, says: “It will be the first time thatstudents from all the classes will be able towork together and compete against each oth-er with their own business ideas. This com-petition is part of Tsiba’s strategy and vision

to ignite opportunity among its students.“It will be the beginning of a hatchery

within the Ignition Centre for student ideas,whichwill lead to incubationwithin the cen-tre and eventually a new business start-up.We are hoping that the competitionwill leadto many student-initiated businesses and astronger connection with the Ignition Cen-tre.”Rotarian Kenny van Aardt says they are

excited to be investing in the young entre-preneurs.“We need more entrepreneurs in our

country to help build our economy. Apartfrom the prize money that we are sponsor-ing,wearealso looking forward toprovidingour mentorship and guidance to the stu-dents throughout the process,” he says.Ron Duggins, director of the Centre for

courages the students with his “P.O.S.T. up”strategy for success as an entrepreneur.“This inspiring strategy is an analogy for

DANCE

He brings love ofBollywood homeLOUISA STEYL

@LouNotes

Cape Town performance troupe Taare isbringing Bollywood to your doorstep.

Founded by Athlone’s Ahneesh Valodia,Taare aims to promote and preserve the In-dian arts in “an original and creative man-ner”.

By using Bollywood song and dance,Ahneesh says they make Indian arts moreaccessible or appealing to audiences as wellas the troupe’s dancers, helping them main-tain a link to Indian culture and traditions.

Ahneesh explains that the term “Bolly-wood” refers to both traditional and modernIndian dance styles.

“It’s actually any style you can think of,”he says, adding: “It’s more the creative useof different dance styles.”

Ahneesh started dancing when he waseight years old and says he knew then alrea-dy that that’s what he wanted to do for therest of his life.

His plan was to pursue formal training af-ter matric, but his “health started actingup”.

Although he was diagnosed with muscu-lar dystrophy, a degenerative muscle disea-se, Ahneesh performed as much as possiblein his teens while he still could, until it gotto a point where he needed to swop the stagefor a wheelchair.

Dancing had become the centre of his lifethough and he couldn’t give up on hisdreams, so he decided to switch performingfor teaching and choreography.

Knowing that “there is a way aroundthings” is what helped Ahneesh cope. Bystarting the troupe, he gets to help other dan-cers achieve their dreams.

Bollywood has always been Ahneesh’sfirst love. As a child he used to watch Bolly-wood movies and try the dances himself.While he’s a classically trained dancer, hisBollywood choreography is self-taught.

He started spreading the word about start-ing a troupe in 2012 and contacted dancersthat he knew were not actively performingat the time.

With word of mouth Taare grew and therest, as they say, is history.

In the beginning, Taare would ask dancersto book spaces at UCT residences for rehear-sals. Today, however, they have a set venueat Rustenberg Girls’ High School where theyrehearse every Saturday from 10:00 to 12:00with extra rehearsals when they are prepa-

ring for a performance.Ahneesh says the troupe of 30 dancers is

made up of matriculants, students and pro-fessionals. “They come from all walks of li-fe.”

He says the audition process is open toanyone, with no previous dance experiencenecessary.

Taare performs a few times a month andthe group performs its own productionsalong with shows at charity, community orcorporate events.

Ahneesh says, to his knowledge, Taare isthe only Bollywood dance troupe in CapeTown. While there are Indian dance schools,Taare operates more like a dance company.

The group runs on a non-profit basis, rely-ing on sponsorships and donations. At themoment, they are specifically looking for so-meone to help with their social media mana-gement.

Ahneesh explains that his troupe exists toprovide a service to the community. Theyprovide a platform for dancers to maturetheir talents and bring Indian dance to a wi-de range of audiences.V Visit www.taare.co.za or www.facebook.com/TaareDance for more information about Taare and itsshows, to arrange an audition or to find out about hel-ping the troupe in any way.

event that marked a tough day in the officefor everyone that participated in the 47kmUltra Beast and 22km Mini Beast races.According to a statement by the organis-

ers, Two Oceans Marathon NPC, Rukadza,Christiaan Greyling and Dion Middelkoopran together for most of the way – even tak-ing time to tweet selfies in a show of trailcamaraderie. Middelkoop suffered fromcramps before the three leaders started theirdescent down Table Mountain, taking himout of contention for the win.“It was such an awesome race but I didn’t

even plan on winning,” says Rukadza of hisvictory.Trail queenand four-timeOldMutualTwo

Sylvie Scherzinger reachedthe finish line about 30 minutes later, com-ing in second (07:06:53), with Linda Doke inthird place (07:15:45).“The Beast definitely lived up to its name

and I will remember this race for a longtime,” says Greyling.In the 22km men’s race, nobody could out

pace rising star Craig Burns, who took acomfortable win in a time of 02:03:39.“This win is a big one for me,” says the
