ASTRID FEBRUARIE@FebAstrid

A proposal has been lodged with the Cityof Cape Town to improve commercialtrading in Durban Road.

Theproposal fromtheRosebankandMow-bray Civic Association (RMCA) is an at-tempt to eliminate the swathe of road re-serve to allow for mixed-use developmentalong the south side of Durban Road.

Ward councillor Matthew Kempthornesays this is a community-based project and,if approved, will be funded with ward alloca-tions.

“There are plans to widen Durban Road inthe future, but I amstill in talkswith theCity

officials before any final decisions aremade,” he says.

Jonathan Hobday, chairperson of the RM-CA, says Little Mowbray has been in stagna-tion and decline for over 20 years becauseof the City’s proposal to introduce a majorBus Rapid Transit route down Durban Road.

Hobday says the association has vigorous-ly opposed this plan for the last decade andis thankful the City has now decided againstgoing ahead with the scheme.

“This has, however, resulted in a delay indevelopment of Durban Road,” he says.

Hobday says the association, through itsDurban Road Action Group sub-committee,wants to kickstart the development andhave devised modest suggestions on how

this should be done.“Our plan includes an upgrade of the in-

tersectionofDurbanandCampgroundroadsinto what we call ‘Fountain Square’, as wellas other improvements along the road, suchas more parking spaces, better cycle and pe-destrian paths, traffic calming measures,beautification by planting of trees, betterlighting and bus embayments,” he says.

The association would also like to see animprovement in the quality of the shops inthe road, he adds.

Hobday saysnone of thiswill happenover-night, but believes the proposed upgrade ofFountain Square would start the ball rollingand that it can be achieved with relativelylow capital expenditure.

More importantly they would like to seeprivate enterprises contributing to the proc-ess.

“Much of the property along the road isowned by the City and is lying fallow interms of development,” Hobday says.

He believes the City should begin sellingoff the properties no longer needed for majorroad widening to allow private enterprise todevelop them.

Kempthorne agrees with Hobday that thethe buildings belonging to the City could beused as part of their plan to upgrade the areasignificantly in future.

“Our aim is to beautify the area for resi-dents and the public to enjoy,” says Kemp-thorne.

HEALTHCARE: CELEBRATING KIDNEY OP SUCCESS

Transplanting hopeCHRISTELLE WIESE

Groote Schuur Hospital’s dedicatedtransplant team celebrated their2 500th kidney transplant last week.

The first kidney transplant at the govern-ment facility was done from a deceased do-nor in 1967 and the hospital has seen an av-erage of 61 transplants per year since then.

One of the patients who has received atransplant at the hospital during the past 46years is Irma Titus (28).

And Irma is no stranger to the process –she has received four donor kidneys in thepast 22 years.

She was one of a group of patients invitedto tell their stories at the hospital’s celebra-tion of its milestone surgery held last week.

Unfortunately she was not able to attendas she was recovering from a kidney infec-tion at the time.

“Although I went for my first kidneytransplant when I was only six years old, Iremember it very clearly. I was five whenthey diagnosed me with kidney failure andI spent almost all my time in hospital for thenext year,” she says. “My mom had to learnhow to manage my dialyses so I could gohome over weekends and our house had tobe checked to make sure it was a suitableenvironment.”

Irma explains that she was diagnosed af-ter constantly feeling tired and her body re-taining a lot of water which was evident inher swollen face and limbs. She received aparticular kind of dialysis which is admin-istered with a drip to the stomach. “At thetime of hearing that there was a kidneyavailable for me, the Red Cross War Memo-rial Children’s Hospital was not yet per-forming kidney transplants so my surgerywas done at Groote Schuur.”

After her family moved to Johan-nesburg, Irma’s next two transplantswere done at Johannesburg GeneralHospital when she was 10 and 14.

She later returned to Cape Townand her last transplant to date wasperformed at the Red Cross Hospitalat the age of 17.

Irma says although it is not uncom-mon for patients with kidney failureto receive more than one transplant,she does not know anyone else whohas undergone the procedure fourtimes.

“When you receive your first trans-plant as a child, the chances of yourbody rejecting the organ are so muchhigher.” She adds that her risk of re-jection is much lower now as an adultbut adds that the possibility of anoth-er transplant can never be ruled out.

“Last week was the first time I hadkidney problems as an adult and I feltreally depressed when I was admittedto hospital. I thought: ‘Oh no, here wego again. I’m done. I’m going to needanother transplant.’ But then I met aman in his seventies who has beenliving a healthy life with his donorkidney for more than 20 years. Myspirits lifted immediately.”

Irma explains that a healthy life-style and compliance with all medical re-quirements are key to survival.

“It’s amazing what modern medicine cando and normally a lot of fuss is made aboutthe medical staff who perform these proce-dures – and rightly so. But I think it is equal-ly important to celebrate the patients in-volved in these procedures – the donors andrecipients. They have the courage to under-go these procedures and stay strong.”

Provincial health minister Theuns Bothaagrees.

“It is always important to pay tribute tothe families of deceased donors whothought of others and donated their lovedone’s organs at a very sad time.” Botha alsoencourages people to become donors, add-ing that it is important to inform your fami-ly of this decision and to register as an or-gan donor.

GIFT OF LIFE: Margeret Lafember donated herkidney to her brother Patrick Solomons 25 yearsago. The pair attended the special event at GrooteSchuur Hospital last week. With them is head ofsurgery Professor Del Khan.

Pinelands police and community im-provement districts are gearing up forthe festive season to ensure the safety

of the public and residents are upheld.The informal bus terminus, Gunner’s

Circle and Epping are among the areas po-licewill patrol regularly during the holidayperiod, says Pinelands police spokespersonWarrant Officer Tando Sonjica.“Additional resourceswill be deployed in

identified hotspots to increase visibility.Vehicle check points will form part of theseactivities,” Sonjica says.She adds the communitywill be the “eyes

and ears” of the police which will assistthem in preventing crime and apprehend-ing potential criminals lurking in the area.“We have a number of safety tips which

we urge residents to become familiar withas this could save their lives and their prop-erty from being burgled.”She advises residents to always park

their cars in a well-lit parking lot or drive-way.“If you have are able to park your car on

your premises behind a gate or in a garageit also discourages criminals from attempt-ing a robbery,” she says.Pedestrians are advised not to expose

their personal belongings when walkingdown a road, especially in areas wherethere are not a lot of pedestrian traffic orefficient lighting at night, Sonjica adds.“We encourage residents to be more vigi-

lant for their own safety,” she says.The Rondebosch Community Improve-

ment District (RCID) is also urging resi-dents to ensure that security measures arein place to prevent access to their premises.RCID manager Shirley Aldum says these

measures include burglar bars and trellis

doors. “Residents need to ensure theiralarms are activated at night, keep their ga-rages and toolsheds locked when not in useand tomake surewould-be intruders do nothave access to items lying around the gar-den,” she says.“These items includes ladders, hammers

and axes which could be used as weaponsor burglary tools.”Aldum adds the festive season sees sever-

al opportunistic crimes in the RCID area,including theft out of motor vehicles, theftsfrom garages (especially bicycles), and ac-cess through unlocked doors“We urge residents to take responsibility

for their safety and security as we cannotplace the full responsibility on our serviceproviders and the police,” Aldum says.“We all need to join the partnership to

fight crime this festive season.”Abdul Kerbelker, executive manager of

the Claremont Improvement District Com-pany(CIDC), says during the festive seasonin the run-up to Christmas they have quitea few syndicates trying to fleece shoppersand shops resulting in an increase of busi-ness robberies in the Claremont area.“We have extra staff for visibility during

the day as well as employing extra securitystaff at night over the festive season,” hesays.Kerbelker says they will ensure that the

link between the 16 CCTV cameras cover-ing the Claremont area, the CIDC ControlRoom and Claremont police is clear and re-sponsive.“This will allow police and CIDC tomoni-

tor and control crime throughout the areaduring the day and night.”He urges residents tomake their security

service providers accountable for monitor-ing the area and to inform the police of sus-picious activity.

Waves of fearIt’s the season of fun in the sun.

But along with trips to the beach comedangerous currents which could cost you

your life.This past weekend, an outing to the sea-

side took a turn for the worse for two fami-lies. Two teenagers drowned along the FalseBay coast on Sunday.An18-year-old boy fromLowerCrossroads

drowned at Mnandi Beach on Sunday whileswimming with four friends.The search continues for the body of a 14-

year-old boy who is presumed to havedrownedatMonwabisiBeach that sameday.And these unfortunately won’t be the last.Here’s what readers have to say.

ZINTLE JITA says she prefers swimming in shallowwater as opposed to the open sea. “The chancesof drowning are very slim. I would like to adviseparents to watch out for the kids when they goto the beach.”

GRADWIN MACFARLANE says he taught himselfto swim. “I learnt because I want to able to helpmyself if I got caught in a riptide. Everyone shouldknow that the sea is very dangerous.”

ASHLEY LUSTER says even though he was oncea lifeguard, he prefers swimming in a pool thanin the ocean. “I know how to swim and I also knowthat beaches can be dangerous. A pool is muchsafer than the sea.”

GARY CUMMINGS believes swimming pools aresafer. “ I don’t know of anyone who drowned, butI do know that the sea is not as safe as the swim-ming pool.”

KARL HARTNICK says he knows how to swim butprefers splashing around in a swimming pool. “I’vebeen swimming since my primary school years,but a swimming pool is best because it is a lotsmaller.”

AMANDA BLOWS hates seawater because she’safraid of sharks. “In a swimming pool I won’t haveto worry about sharks. I know how to swim butI always panic when I’m in the ocean.”

STEPHANIE ONTONY says she doesn’t like theocean’s waves and prefers the pool. “The pool ismuch smaller and safer. And I don't have to worryabout any wild waves.”

PINELANDS: ABANDONED BUILDINGS AN ‘EYESORE’

Conradieruins remainASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

The ruins of what was once the Con-radie Care Centre continues to bestripped by people who cart off any-

thing they could sell.The remains of the landmark is still an

eyesore for Pinelands residents as it fallsfurther into disrepair (“Old hospital ‘cav-ing in’”, People’s Post, 5 March; “Plans forhospital are in limbo”, 19 March).Situated on Forest Drive Extension, the

property is owned by provincial govern-ment. The provincial public works depart-ment is the custodians.Some use has come from the ruins when

local artist Janet Botes, together with otherartists, used the premises to create art-work.Botes says at the time (Sunday 22 Janu-

ary 2012) they were shocked at the state ofthe buildings and the property.“Parts of the building were still being

used then. One of the buildingswe usedwasnot fit for human occupation at all,” shesays.Botes believes the buildings can be of use

to the community.“I can imagine the centre becoming a hub

of activity; it does not need to be demol-ished. The existing buildings can be usedas foundations to build creative structuresfor education, healing and living quarters,”she says.“There is so much that can be done when

people’s creativity and ingenuity is givena chance to flourish.”Councillor Brian Watkyns labels the

property is an “embarrassing eyesore”,which attracts “undesirable elements”whostrip the property. “Currently, each roof is

(slowly) disappearing. I would like to seethe (structures) demolished.”He believes the recent increase in crime

in the Ringwood Drive area “could belinked to vagrants living on the property.“I have received numerous complaints

about the buildings, but council cannot (en-force the law) as (it is owned by provincialgovernment). We would all like to see thebuildings demolished to make space forsomething more desirable,” Watkyns says.Public works spokesperson Al-Ameen

Kafaar reiterated previous comment that afinal decision to demolish has yet to bemade.“The property was in the market for dis-

posal by sale through public tender, but thetransaction had to be cancelled,” he says.The site is earmarked for transfer to the

City of CapeTown for human settlement de-velopment, he says.The department has placed security

guards at the property to prevent unlawfuloccupation and vandalism. It is also to becleared of overgrowth.Pinelands Neighbourhood Watch mem-

ber Jeremy Moyle says a derelict propertynext to a suburb is not ideal. “The area canbe used by criminals and provides crimi-nals with a hiding place. It needs to be cor-rectly fenced and all the structures demol-ished,” Moyle says.Pinelands Community Policing Forum

chairperson John Berry says the property“looks disgusting”.“My biggest concern is that the buildings

may cave in while someone is in there; itwould be devastating. The department isnot doing enough to secure the property. Ihave received complaints from residentsliving near the centre and they are con-cerned for their safety.”

Put your best paw forwardHOMELESS: NEED A ‘SECOND CHANCE’

Hand up for othersASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

The homeless are human, too. That’s themessage Ingrid Frieslaar wants tobring across.

Frieslaar, the social outreach manager forthe Groote Schuur Community Improve-ment District Company (GSCID), has beeninvolved with the homeless for many yearsand aims to help them regain their dignity.

“I assist in reuniting the homeless, whomI refer to as my ‘clients’, with their families,finding suitable employment for those will-ing to work and to apply and obtain relevantdocumentation.”

She works closely with Straatwerk, aChristian ministry which runs a rehabilita-tion programme for the destitute and “un-employable”.

Frieslaar conducts regular street inspec-tions to establish which locations are usedas shelter by the homeless, so she can easilylocate her clients.

“I have established a database to keeptrack of who is in the area and the newcom-ers. I then approach the individuals and ex-plain to them what I do,” she says.

Her job, she believes, is to assist them inbuilding confidence and restore their digni-ty.

The first step is to build trust and makeher “client” learn to love and respect them-selves before she can assist them in findingemployment or shelter.

“Over the years I have managed to assistover 21 homeless people by finding work andshelter for them. It is not an easy job. I facemany challenges every day, but I enjoy whatI do,” Frieslaar says, adding life on thestreets is tough.

“The streets are dangerous, but it has be-

come the last resort for many who have noother choice. I am sure if they had a choicethey wouldn’t live on the streets.”

Many of her “clients” say they’re on thestreets because of circumstances.

“There is a history behind every homelessperson; a life they once lived and family theyonce shared their lives with. We have to givethem a chance to tell their side of the story,”she comments.

“Many of my clients are on the streets be-cause of poverty, domestic violence and un-employment.”

Most of her “clients” are not “dirt bags”who frequent dump sites, but “people whoneed to be given a second chance” to rebuildtheir lives.

Frieslaar now aims to open an office tohave one-on-one sessions with homeless peo-ple seeking employment.

The office will be equipped with a showerwhere clients can prepare for a job inter-view. “We do not want them to feel uncom-fortable when they are around other people.These are things most people take for grant-ed, but it gives back their dignity and makesthem feel worthy,” she says.

Straatwerk manager Hannes van der Mer-we says they aim is to assist the homelesswith their “Ophelp Projekte”.

“The GSCID is our major partner in thesouthern suburbs; we provide the cleaningof litter from the streets for them,” he says.

Van der Merwe says Ophelp is shaped togive unemployed people the chance to im-prove their skills.

“Our participants are coached to becomewise and responsible in (working with) mon-ey,” he says.

“While some initially still waste money,they learn there is no progress in life with-out wisdom and responsibility.”

cilities designed to enable patients to un-dergo bone marrow transplants,” Du Toit,who co-founder the registry with Jacobs,says.“The value Professor Jacobs has brought

to South Africans is beyond measure. Notonly is he recognised for his outstandingmedical contributions nationally and inter-nationally, but also forhis deep compassionand unwavering dedication to his pa-tients,” she says.Through the SABMR, his work will con-

tinue to bring hope to hun-dreds of South Africanswith life-threatening blooddisorders.Until his death Jacobs, a

Constantia resident, alsoheld several prestigious po-sitions, including EmeritusProfessor of Haematology(University of Cape Town)and Extraordinary Profes-sor of Haematological Pa-thology (Stellenbosch Uni-versity).“Recognised internation-

ally for his work, he alsoheld a Professorship in In-ternal Medicine at the Uni-versity of Nebraska (USA).He continued to serve onthe SABMRboard,” Du Toitsays.

His contribution to medicine was recent-ly recognised by the South AfricanMedicalAssociation when he was awarded the es-teemed 2013 Fellowship in Art and Scienceof Medicine Award.“The award is reserved for doctors and

specialists who have created an ‘ iconic in-ternational footprint’ for their ‘break-through contribution to medicine’ and for‘championing the cause of healthcare de-spite obstacles’,” Du Toit adds.Paul Mouton, a former patient, says: “I

will never forgetmy first appointmentwithhim. He was the consummate professional– extremely knowledgeable, respectful andat the same time incredibly human andcompassionate. His passing is a great loss.”

While the average user only knowshow to update their status andlike their favourite celebrity’s

page, Yaseen Hamdulay will be going be-hind theblue icon to learnmoreabout theworld’s biggest social networking site.

This week the 20-year-old University ofCape Town student jetted off to the US fora three-month internship at Facebook’sSan Francisco headquarters.

“I’ve alwaysbeen interested in technol-ogy and computers because of the mas-sive impact it has on the world,” he says.

“It changed the way we do things thathaven’t changed in millennia, such asreading and communicating with eachother.”

Hamdulay applied to be part of the pro-gramme earlier this year and is thrilledat the prospect of being exposed to newideas.

Currently studying Computer ScienceandMathematics, Hamdulay has enteredcompetitions such as the Standard BankIT Challenge, the South African Compu-ter Olympiad, the International Olympi-ad in Informatics and the MXit Program-ming competition.

He matriculated two years ago and hashad a keen interest in numbers and read-ing since he can remember.

He currently does part-time work as asole developer for Snap Bill, a businessbilling system, and has previously in-terned at 2go Interactive, New MediaLabs and MXit Lifestyle.

And while he loves his current job, hecannot contain his excitement at work-ing at the global social media site.

“I have never worked for such a big,well-known company with so manysmart people,” he says.

While he enjoys spending time online,this doesn’t mean he doesn’t have anyother interests.

Hamdulay enjoys rock climbing,strumming his guitar and doing Capoe-ria.

“Capoeria is fun. It relaxes me and Ihave already completed my first Batiza-do,” he says.

Hamdulay will also head for Russia inJune next year to take part in the ACMInternational Collegiate Programmingcontest.

“I have barely scratched the surface ofmy career,” he enthuses.

“There are still many things to do outthere.”

Dream season in the pool for ’BoschLIAM MOSES

@LiamCPT

After an astounding season the Ronde-bosch Boys’ Preparatory School (RB-PS)water polo teamhave set their sites

on provincial glory.The ’Bosch under-13A and B, under-12A

and under-10A teams went unbeaten thisseason.As a result, the entire under-13 squad has

been selected to theWestern Province A andB teams for the Inter-provincial Tourna-ment (IPT) in East London next month.Head of water polo Sandy Stevens, who is

also under-13 team manager, says the suc-cess is the result of hard work and dedica-tion.“They have very enthusiastic coaches,while both the players and coaches have apassion for the sport,” she says.“The players are not allowed tomiss a ses-

sion. They practice about three hours aweek, playmatches onFridaysandalsohaveswimming practice, so there is a lot of timespent in the water. They spend about six orseven hours a week in the pool.”The ’Bosch under-13 team won four of the

most prestigious tournaments this year –the Slabbert Cup, theGrey Junior School na-tional tournament, the SACS tournamentand the Cannon’s Creek water polo tourna-ment.A total of 20 teams from around the coun-

try competed at the SACS tournament.

RBPS comfortably won all of the tourna-ments and scoring 81 goals while concedingjust one at the Cannon’s Creek tournament,the biggest co-ed waterpolo tournament inSouth Africa.“We haven’t just fought for victories – we

have won all the finals convincingly,” Ste-vens says.“The type of water polo we play has been

admired throughout the country. We havebeen the team to beat at every tournament.”She credits coach Jeremy Hanson for the

success. Hanson also lead the RondeboschBoys’ High School under-14 and under-15teams to wins in their respective tourna-ments.TheRBPSunder-13 squad has been togeth-

er and undefeated since they played in theunder-10 age group.Stevens believes the players will lead the

Western Province teams to comfortablewins at the IPT. “Last year WP A playedWPB in final and won through a goal in the dy-ing minutes,” she says.“I suspect the same will happen this year.

WP water polo is extremely strong, whileRondeboschare,without a doubt, the strong-est team.”The highly talented squad will now move

ontohigh schools,withmost playersmovingto Rondebosch Boys’ High next year.Stevens believes the next under-13 squad

havewhat it takes to emulate their predeces-sors’ successes.

Youth cricketers ready for nationalsLIAM MOSES

@LiamCPT

Western Province’s best under-13 cricketerswill take their first steps towards potentialprofessional careers next month.The Province under-13 squad will take

part in the Cricket South Africa under-13 in-ter-provincial tournament (IPT) from Fri-day 6 to Tuesday 10 December.Team manager Nathier Gamieldien be-

lieves the players will make a name forthemselves at the tournament.“(The tournament) is very serious, as un-

der-13 is the start of your professional crick-et career,” he says.“Once you make it here, the under-15 se-

lectors monitor you. It’s the start of profes-sional sport for the boys and we approachit holistically. The players need to watchwhat they eat and improve their fitness.”The WP junior squads were announced in

May and Gamieldien’s under-13 team hasbeen training since June.The squad focused on fitness and condi-

tioning when they first assembled, transi-tioned to cricket-specific skills such as field-ing and hand-eye coordination and thenstarted their work in the nets.Province have played five warm-up

matches, beating sides such as Western

Province Cricket Club, DF Malan HighSchool and invitational teams.Gamieldien says he can see definite im-

provement in the team’s play.“Once they started to get to knoweach oth-

er, they started playing better because theyknow (their teammates’) strengths,”he says.“I have been working with a few boys in

the gym on their strength, speed and bal-ance; you can (already) see the change.”The tournament will see Province play

both T20 and 40 over matches, with twogames taking place on some days. They willface Limpopo and Eastern Province in theirfirst two matches.Though the tournament does not have a

final, and therefore no winner, WP will stillbe playing to win. “We obviously want tomake sure ourpreparationpays off.Wewantto be unbeaten and want to win our gamesconvincingly,” Gamildien says.“We want to make a name for ourselves,

so that the other teams remember us and theplayers in the future. But the most impor-tant thing is for the boys to enjoy them-selves. It’s their first tournament, so theywill get a taste of cricket in the future.”Gamieldien believes several of his squad

have what it takes to make it all the way.He has tipped team captain Tatenda Shut-

tleworth-Richardson, vice-skipper Josh

Schippers, batsman Johnathan Bird, swingbowler Ali Akhbar Shaik and leg-spinnerNazeem Noor to make a splash at the IPT.V Western Province under-13 squad: Josh Schippers,Chase Hermanus, Nazeem Noor, Riaz Paleker, BrentJohnson (all Wynberg Boys’ Junior School), Aadam

Tomlinson (Darun Naim Islamic), Tatenda Shuttle-worth-Richardson (Tafelberg Junior), Gabirle Gad(Reddam House), Ian Smit (Bastion Primary) Ali Akh-bar Shaik (Rondebosch East Primary), Michael Mondry(SACS Junior), Guy Sheen (Hertzlia Junior), JohnathanBird (Bishops Primary).
