Noisy hostel disturbs peaceTERESA FISCHER
A RESIDENT living oppo-site Abbott’s College Hos-
tel in Harfield Village says shehas endured five years of noiseby the students, but that itkeeps getting worse.
The final straw was being wok-en up at 03:00 on Tuesday 8 No-vember by students who, shesays, were running outsidescreaming and throwing eachother into the pool until 04:00.
The Hostel is in Mathew Road.Debbie Zeelie says: “We have
been very tolerant of the studentshaving fun until a reasonablehour, such as midnight. Howev-er, the issue is when they carryon beyond this hour, or worse,start up in the early hours of themorning.”
She says that over the years the
problems have included loud par-ties after midnight; screaming asif a woman is in trouble; bottlesthrown over the wall into theroad; students shooting random-ly with a pellet gun; and studentsallegedly buying illegal alcoholfrom a van called “dial a drink.”
Zeelie adds she also witnesseda stone thrown by a student fromthe grounds across the road intoher property, smashing their out-door lamp.
According to Zeelie, her neigh-bours are also not happy andhave from time to time been intouch with the hostel.
“Activity did seem to quietenover the last year. However, inthe last few months they have be-gun behaving badly again byscreaming excessively at oddhours.”
Zeelie says has spoken to thenew principal, Saleem Jackson
who, she says, has been in his po-sition since April and that he haspromised to attend to the matterby addressing the house motherand the students.
She says in her opinion thehouse mother struggles to con-trol the students, and that shehasheard her “shrieking” at them.
“There needs to be a code ofconduct and there must be conse-quences. Until this happens weare going to continue to live withthis bawdy unruly behaviour,”says Zeelie.
A resident in Matthew Mewsnext to the college, who asked notto be named says: “We complaincontinually about the noise com-ing out of there.”
The principal, Sal-eem Jackson, ac-knowledges that“from time to time in-dividual students dis-
regard the Code of Conduct of theResidence.”
He says: “Each incident is thor-oughly investigated and the han-dledaccording to theCodeofCon-duct. We are willing to listen tolegitimate complaints from resi-dents and will take action whereit is necessary.”
James Fernie, chairperson ofthe Harfield Village Association(HVA), says he has not been ap-proached with complaints aboutthe hostel. But adds that the HVAcould assist residents to resolveissues such as this if it is madeaware of them.

Meet the original twitcherTERESA FISCHER
IT was a surprise to discoverthat world-renowned birder,
Ian Sinclair, author of the Sasolbird field guides, lives in Pine-lands.
“I keep it a secret...to avoid‘budgie calls’,” he says, by which he
means calls from strangers askinghim to help identify little brownbirds in their gardens.
“Sometimes it’s easy. Like, if it’san ostrich.”
Sinclair is not the earnest, scien-tific type one might expect. He saysjust what he thinks, prolific swearwords included, and often his opin-ions are unexpected.
For example, what sparked his in-terest in birds?
He makes a catapult gesture, andreplies, “From school... it’s calledhooliganism.”
He grew up in Ireland, and collect-ed birds’ eggs as a hobby.
To find the nests, you had to havea lot of knowledge about the crea-tures, he explains, adding that therule was that you only took one egg.
He used to clamber down 500-footcliffs looking for Puffins, once fall-ing into the sea in the process.
In adulthood he started a compa-ny offering expeditions through Af-rica, “showing visitors all the dickiebirds.” He was the first person to of-fer commercial birding tours, butnow there are many companies do-ing the same.
He points out that the groupswould also see many mammals onhis tours. Looking out for wee birds,one “is not going to miss those great,big, hairy jobs,” he says.
Sinclair flies around the world al-most as much as the birds he hasspent his life studying. His upcom-ing jaunt is a three-week stint in SriLanka.
“I live frugally,” he says. “I only
drive a Porsche.”I assume he is joking, but he has
over 10 books on the market and halfa million copies of the field guideshave been sold. Sinclair even usedto edit material for David Attenbor-ough.
“It’s the best-illustrated fieldguide in the world, nogal,” he addsmodestly. Sinclair drops Afrikaanswords into his speech, slightly in-congruous with his Irish accent. Hepicked up the taal during a year inAntarctica when he had only Afri-kaans men for company.
He says there are bird watchersall over the world, and it is the fast-est growing hobby, second only tobowling – which he calls ‘old mansmarleys.’
He scoffs at the image of a bird-watcher as “an old biddy in a jacketwith patches on the elbows, in a fun-ny-looking hat.”
They are not silent types either...“Birders are the noisiest bunch of
[swearword] I have ever comeacross,” he says.
Sinclair is as funny as he is ob-servant.As I takehis photograph,hechirps: “Ah, there’s a bird watchingme.”
A fat dove is peering over the gut-ter at him.
As I leave, he calls out: “Look,there’s the Porsche.”
And there it is.•Stand a chance to win one of

What a wonder!TABLE MOUNTAIN is one of theNew7Wonders, along with the Amazon,Halong Bay in Vietnam, Iguazu Falls inArgentina, Jeju Island in South Korea,Komodo in Indonesia, and Puerto Prince-sa Underground River in the Philippines.
The news came just after 22:00 on Fridayevening.
Grant Thornton, a leading tourism, hospi-tality and leisure research company, predict-ed a R1.4 billion annual return for South Afri-can tourism. Basing their projections on theNew7Man Made Wonders, in which 100 mil-lion votes were cast worldwide, Grant Thorn-ton estimated that tourism to Cape Towncould increase by about 20%, resulting in in-creased employment opportunities.
Mariëtte du Toit-Helmbold, CEO of CapeTown Tourism says: “We are very excitedabout this win. From being awarded theWorld Design Capital 2014 designation just afew weeks ago to Table Mountain beingnamed one of the New7Wonders of Nature to-day, Cape Town and South Africa are stand-ing proud! There are many benefits, but our
biggest opportunity is job creation. In linewith Cape Town Tourism’s new brand strate-gy for the city, we are working with individu-als and companies on developing new, inter-esting and genuine tourism offerings to satis-fy changing travellers’ needs. With theanticipated increase in tourism, more entre-preneurial opportunities will open up.”
The campaign also gave South Africans thechance to learn more about the mountain. Be-fore the campaign, many people may not haveknown that Table Mountain is one of the old-est mountains on the planet, about 360 mil-lion years old, and was declared a World Her-itage Site in 2004. The Cape Floristic Regionis the smallest and richest of the six floralkingdoms on the planet, and habitat to 8 200rare and endangered plant species.
Table Mountain is also the only terrestrialfeature to have a constellation named after it.The southern constellation Mensa (originallyMons Mensae – Latin for “the table moun-tain”), was named in 1754 after the increas-ingly world-famous landmark in the thenCape of Good Hope. It is also one of the mostphotographed sites in Africa.

Cape Town is open for businessTHE City of Cape Town is driving a job crea-tion agenda by providing an enabling envi-ronment motivating Cape Town Entrepre-neurship. This is being done partly througha series of events at the City Hall from nowuntil Monday 21 November, as well as nu-merous satellite events across the city.
“Cape Town recognises the role and im-portance of small to medium enterprises injob creation,” says Councillor GarrethBloor, chairperson of the City’s Economic,Environment and Spatial Planning Portfo-lio Committee.
“We can create a supportive environmentby helping existing organisations directlyso they can increase their current capacity.Primarily, however the major drive is oneof sound policy and effective administra-tion.”
Bloor says while Council will use its man-date to drive job creation across all sectors,it will take extra steps to help Cape Town’sbusinesses – particularly small to mediumenterprises (SMEs) – to comply with exist-ing national regulations.
The City and the Provincial Government
are currently working through a Red Tapeto Red Carpet set of recommendations, fo-cusing on how to make it easier to do busi-ness in Cape Town, across all business sec-tors.
The upcoming Cape Town Entrepreneur-ship Week will allow SMEs the opportunityto interact with policy-makers, public rep-resentatives and senior City officials inopen forums.
In addition to aspiring and current SMEowners, Cape Town EntrepreneurshipWeek will include events with senior poli-cy-makers from emerging markets such asThailand and Brazil who have achievedhigh growth rates, lifting millions out ofpoverty.
“Job creation is at the top of the agendaand that means targeting and supportingthe job creators. The City, and the country,can learn much from existing success sto-ries in other emerging markets,” added Al-derman Belinda Walker, Mayoral Commit-tee Member for Economic, Environmentaland Spatial Planning.

“FAILURE is a great teacher.It is a normal part of being an
entrepreneur. We should stopstigmatising people who havefailed and stop regarding it asthe end of the road. Just thinkof Richard Branson and SteveJobs,” says Martin Feinstein,organiser of this year’s Tel-kom Cape Town Entrepre-neurship Week.
“In a sense people are forced tobe more entrepreneurial and findnew ways of generating an in-come,” says Feinstein, adding, inthe same breath, that between 30to 40% of small businesses failwithin the first year, and overfive years the number doubles to80%.
“These figures can be veryscary, and intimidate a lot of peo-ple, especially since most peoplestarting a small business havevery good technical skills andknow a lot about the trade theyare entering, but not about busi-ness.
“People also start in a veryovercrowded market, opening upcrèches or hair salons instead ofdoing something new and inno-vative.”
But Capetonians can regardthemselves as lucky, becauseCape Town is seen as one of themost nurturing urban environ-ments for entrepreneurs in thecountry.
Feinstein explains: “CapeTown has some of the best infra-structure in the country. Trans-
port networks and safety and se-curity are all of a much higherstandard, which makes it easierfor people to access your busi-ness and easier to run a business.Inconvenience is a tax on yourtime, and if the city can save youthat time you can spend moretime making your businesswork.”
However, he says that SouthAfrica is in general 50% behindin the entrepreneurial marketcompared to similar countries.

Far South carnival in jeopardyDALEEN FOUCHÉ
THE annual eMzansti carnival may bein jeopardy if the National Lottery
Distribution Trust Fund (NLDTF) doeshonour promises to pay out money allo-cated for the event planned for early De-cember.
A reliable source who wished to remainanonymous told People’s Post that there hasbeenadelay in theprocessingof funding fromthe NLDTF to the Harlequin Foundation, theNPO which administers the eMzantsi com-munity-building project.
The carnival, a culmination of a year’swork, is in its seventh year and planned forSaturday 3 December, less than three weeksaway.
The NLDF approved R8 million to the Har-lequin Foundation in 2009, payable over athree-year period in six instalments. Themoney due for this carnival would have beenthe final instalment.
Sershan Naidoo, spokesperson for theNLDTF, says the delay is caused by a requestfor “deviation from the original use of grantmoney in the most recently submittedprogress report.”
He says that according to their records, aprogress report was submitted on 3 October,and adds that any deviations must be ap-proved by the adjudicating committee, mem-bers of which work part time and are notbased at the NLDTF offices.
He says the deviation will be decided uponat the next committee meeting scheduled forWednesday 23 November.
But Harlequin Foundation managing di-rector Sam Pearce, says the deviation was notrequested in their most recent report, but ina previous report which was submitted in Ju-ly 2010.
Naidoo could not say whether funds wouldbe approved by the committee, but added that
if the NGO used its previous funds in ac-cordance to the grant agreement, thereshould be “no problem with effecting thenext payment.”
Naidoo says once payment is approved,the NLDTF could assist in “speeding up”the payment process.
Naidoo emphasised that the staff of theNLDTF attend to information and reportschronologically. “Effort is being made to as-sist (the Harlequin Foundation) and we willcontinue to do so.”
But Ralph Freese, a development activistwho has been vocal in the media about hisdiscontent with the NLDTF, says the dilem-ma in which the Harlequin Foundation nowfinds itself is not an isolated incident. Hesays many NGOs have had difficulties withthe NLDTF.
In March this year, Freese wrote an openletter to Rob Davies, Minister of Trade andIndustry, which oversees the NLDTF.
In an interview with People’s Post Freesesays that the lottery funding system is “notefficient and in “desperate need of an om-budsman and appeal system.”
Freese says within a week after his openletter was published, he received calls fromover 400 NGOs that were allegedly havingtrouble with funding from the NLDTF.
Freese concedes that the fund has shownan “improvement” in its affairs since thenand has shown intent on rectifying matters.But Freese insists that changes need to bemade to legislation in order to assure a fairprocess.
In a recent Cape High Court case, wheretwo Cape Town NGOs took on the NLDTFbecause funding was denied, the court ruledin favour of the NGOs, which included theSouth African Education and EnvironmentProject and the Claremont MethodistChurch Social Impact Ministry. The judgeruled that the two organisations’ work werein line with NLDTF requirements and the
reasons for denying applications were not rea-sonable. Both NGOs had applied to the fundseveral times before.
Carnival participants have expressed theirconcern and sadness at the delay in funding.
“It’s so sad,” says a teacher who did not wishto be named, “the children and facilitators ontheprimary schools twinningprogrammehaveworked so hard over three terms preparing forthe carnival, practising their drumming anddancing. It would be terrible if they didn’t geta chance to perform together after all that, justbecause the Lottery is so slow.”
Pearce did not want to comment on the mat-ter, butwas confident that the carnivalwill pro-ceed as planned. “NLDTF funding has enabledus tobring childrenandyouth together tomake
friends and have fun across the peninsulathroughout the year and we are very grateful.The eMzantsi Carnival is a celebration of thespirit of the people of the South, and it willgo ahead no matter what. We’ve done it onno money before, and we can certainly do itagain.”
The funding from NLDTF allowed eMzant-si to grow from an annual parade mobilisedby a band of volunteers to a year-round com-munity-building project employing sevenfull-time staff.
All these activities bring together the com-munities of Masiphumelele, Ocean View andFish Hoek with the goal of participating inthe eMzantsi Carnival annually on the firstSaturday of December.

Majestic mountainCAPETONIANS now officially live in the shadowof greatness.
The mammoth icon, Table Mountain has beenincludedonaprovisional list of theNew7Wonderscompetition finalists. Announced on Friday, thefinal result is said to be made public early nextyear. Off the back of Cape Town being named thedesign Capital of the World in November, the lat-est announcement will make huge inroads for thetourism sector and increase visitor numbers inthe province, as Table Mountain now becomes thedeciding factor for international tourists consid-ering their options. This natural resource has be-come one of the country’s most valuable commod-ities, and with a global struggling economy it istrue that every bit of help is welcome.
These are exciting times for Cape Town tour-ism. Authorities in the sector have estimated thatthe announcement alone will bring over 100 000visitors to local shores.
Reportedly the value of the tourism increasewas estimated to be about R1.4 billion a year forthe first five years following the inclusion. Thiswill inevitably lead to an increase in jobs.
While business readies itself to use the moun-tain’s new elevated status in marketing campa-gins, tourism authorities are rightfully focusedon making local tourist destinations more acces-sible to the local public, the very people who votedto make this prestigious accolade a reality for Ta-bleMountain. It is after all, the only of the finalistssituated in the middle of a bustling urban setting,hardly isolated or difficult to reach like some ofits competitors.
Cape Town Executive Mayor, Patricia De Lillesays the announcement has confirmed whatmany locals already know. For many Capeto-nians, Table Mountain holds great sentimentalvalue. Rumour has it that the New7WondersFoundation is set to take on a new survey in thefuture, the top seven cities in the world. CapeTown, here we go – again!

Correct crime communicationTHERE is once again reports of “attacks” onTable Mountain.
The word “attack” means to “set upon withviolent force.” Are people being set upon justto cause them injury?
“Robbery” is the act of “unlawfully takingthe property of another by the use of forceor intimidation.”
We need to know if there are people whoare robbing hikers, or people who are attack-ing hikers for no apparent reason. Differentresponses are required in each case.
I hope that next time the correct terminolo-gy will be used.KEITH BLAKEOttery
Tax businesses which benefitedIT IS regrettable that since the founding ofa democratic state, most citizens of this beau-tiful country find themselves in a state of ab-ject poverty. Democracy means very little tothem because at the end of the day they gowithout food, shelter and may other basic ne-cessities.
The companies that profited most duringapartheid are still in existence.
Still profiting from the human misery towhich they contributed in apartheid days.
A minute proportion of their profits go to-wards social investment. A kind of feel-goodcontribution that is in most cases useless be-cause the projects are not sustained.
The time has arrived that we start to makethese companies take more responsibility tochange the socio economic condition of ourpeople.
Many of these companies would probably
say they are unable to contribute because ofa slow-down or down-turn in the economy.However, a person just has to look at the prof-its that the banking sector posted underthese economic conditions. The question ofcourse how can this sector be suffering withsuch enormous profits?
The proposal by Archbishop Tutu to taxthose who benefited from apartheid shouldbe taken more seriously and should be givenmore support by the disadvantaged.
Also, while this is being deliberated, thesecompanies must be encouraged by govern-ment and the communities who supportthem to make significant contributions to ed-ucation and employment.
If we forget the suffering of our parentsthen their struggle to end injustice would bein vain.SHEIKH MA JARDIEN

Compose an odeto the LiesbeekRIVERS are invaluable assets in ur-ban settlements and this yearFriends of the Liesbeek celebrate 20years on the river.
Urban rivers function as storm-water catchments, while at thesame time serving as green spacesfor recreation, enjoyment and wild-life habitat.
However, urban rivers are beingdegraded by erosion and silt depos-its, pollution from stormwater run-off and industry, loss of habitatfromdevelopmentandengineering,and litter accumulation.
This has also been recognised bythe City of Cape Town in the launchof the Integrated Catchment Man-agement Plan in Memory of Profes-sor Kader Asmal. The proposed interventionaddresses anurgentneed to improve freshwa-ter ecosystem health and functions, and is awelcome expansion of the work already beingdone by the Friends of the Liesbeek and otherFriends groups.
To celebrate their 20 years on the river,Friends of Liesbeeck are asking for photo-graphs, poems, newspaper articles or anec-dotes, anything to do with the River.
They would also like to honour past com-mittee members and ask that if you were acommittee member, or know of someone whowas active in FOL in the past, to send theman email, post a message on the websitewww.fol.org.za or call Francine at (021) 671-5385.
The email address is [email protected]
and our postal address is P.O.Box 333, Ronde-bosch.
The main project is the Liesbeek Mainte-nance Project (LMP). The Friends of the Lies-beek runs the LMP Project on private fundingand its aim is a litter-free Liesbeek and a well-maintained river trail through a process ofjob creation and skills development.
The presence of the team on the river im-proves safety, reduces antisocial behaviourand encourages sound environmental prac-tices. TheLMPteamremoves litter, cuts backovergrown vegetation, weeds, sweeps thewalkway and removes graffiti.
City departments provide support by mow-ing and removing all waste collected as wellresponding to incidents of pollution reportedby the Friends.
Besides the tasks mentioned above, theteam has planted and watered numeroustrees and groundcover and already some ofthese have propagated themselves, provingthat the work being done is sustainable.
The Liesbeek Maintenance Team is alsoworking on an important project in partner-ship with SANBI to eradicate a new invasivespecies in South Africa, Lythrum salicaria, orpurple loosestrife.
This plant was discovered on the Liesbeekby a member of the Friends of the Liesbeek,Liz Wheeler.
Together with SANBI the Friends of theLiesbeek are following a programme of detec-tion, control and removal to ensure that thispotentially harmful invasive alien plant doesnot spread and choke our waterways as thewater hyacinth did to other waterways.

The key to unlocking dreamsHANRIE BOSCH
“FAILURE is a great teacher. Itis a very normal part of being anentrepreneur. We should stopstigmatising people who havefailedandstopregarding itas theend of the road. Just think of Ri-chard Branson and Steve Jobs,”muses Martin Feinstein, organ-iser of this year’s Telkom CapeTown Entrepreneurship Week.
“In a sense people are forced to bemore entrepreneurial and find newways of generating an income”,says Feinstein adding in the samebreath that between 30 to 40 % ofsmall businesses fail within thefirst year, and over five years thenumber doubles to 80%.
“These figures can be very scary,and intimidate a lot of people espe-cially since most people starting asmall business have very good tech-nical skills and know a lot about the
trade they are entering into, but notabout business. People also start ina very overcrowded market, open-ing up crèches or hair salons in-stead of doing something new andinnovative.”
But Capetonians can regardthemselves as lucky, as Cape Townis seen as one of the most nurturingurban environments for entrepre-neurs in the country, as Feinsteinexplains.
“Cape Town has some of the bestinfrastructure in the country.Transport networks and safety andsecurity are all on a much higherstandard, which makes it easier forpeople to access your business andeasier to run a business.
“Inconvenience is a tax on yourtime, and if the city can save youthat time you can spend more timemaking your business work.”
Buthealso adds that SouthAfricais in general 50 % behind in the en-trepreneurial market as compared
to similar countries.“Entrepreneurship creates
wealth. Not just for yourself, but foremployees and suppliers, as well asinnovation and more efficient waysof doing things.
“It also creates social cohesionand stability by creating more jobswhichequates to less crime, jobless-ness and most importantly it cre-ates more entrepreneurs.”
Whether you have just started asmall business, and need mentor-ing and support, or you are justthinking about starting a smallbusiness, the Cape Town Entrepre-neurship Week, 15 to 21 November,can help to give you advice.
All events will take place at CityHall, and on Saturday 19 Novemberbudding entrepreneurs can enjoy afree interactive day, where expertswill be on hand to answer any ques-tions and give advice.

Cape teams out to improve league statusLYNN PRINS
AJAX Cape Town and EngenSantos are facing a tough
battle to the top as they prepareto show their mettle against for-midable opponents SuperSportUnited and Kaizer Chiefs thisweekend.
The Urban Warriors beat Super-Sport 5-2 in the first round duringthe MTN Top Eight, and revengeis to be expected come Friday.
Pressure will definitely be on forboth Ajax and SuperSport sinceAjax missed out on silverware inthe Telkom Knockout Cup, whenthey were booted from the tourna-ment by Golden Arrows.
Urban Warriors will have tokeep an eye on SuperSport’s Ma-lawian dangerman Atusaye Nyon-do, who is currently the joint topscorer in the Absa PremiershipLeague. He was also voted the PSLPlayer of the Month for Augustand September and heads into the
match as the man to watch.Newly-signed defender Matthew
Booth might be the kick Ajaxneeds.Booth recently signedacon-tract which lasts until the end ofthe season.
Over at the Santos camp, theteam is optimistic after reachingthe semi-finals in the TelkomKnockout Cup. They are oozingconfidence, although they had adifficult start to the season.
The People’s Team, as they areknown to fans, faces two awaygames, a league match against Kai-zer Chiefs and the Telkom Knock-out semi against Bidvest Wits Uni-versity. When asked how Santoswill prepare to play against one ofthe top teams, coach Boebie Solo-mons commented: “We don’t viewother teams as big teams. Allgames are important for us and weprepare it in the same seriousway.”
Headded: “Anawaygame isnev-er easy and we expect to have atough game against them. Against
teams like Chiefs, players are nor-mally highly motivated to get apositive result.”
Solomons reckons the team isworking well together and newplayers like Jonathan Armogam,Jonathan Fransman, Pere Ariwer-iyai and Warren Bishop are get-ting used to the way the team func-tions. However, there is an unfor-tunate rash of injuries in thecamp. Key players such as strikerErwin Isaacs, central defenderWayne Arendse – who is still re-covering from bruised ribs – andTshepo Motsoeneng, who has aknee injury, may not be takingpart in the match.
“We are managing Motsoenengat this moment in time and as soonas we have an opportunity we willtry and solve this injury problem,”said Solomons.
Ajax takes on SuperSport Unit-ed on Friday at 20:00 at Cape TownStadium. On Saturday, Santos fac-es Kaizer Chiefs at the PeterMokaba Stadium at 20:15.

spurring the players onand formulating strate-gies to take their team tothe top. This week Peo-ple’s Post will introducethe team behind the na-tional women’s softballside.

“South Africa will go outand be competitive in everygame. Our objective is to playbetter than what we areranked. Our strongest com-petitors in our preliminarygroup would be the USA andCanada and we have to bementally prepared for eachgame.
“Goals are essentiallytough, and I can only dealwith what is in my control,”he says. “My goal is to havethe girls prepared as well as
possible. I can’t tell howmany games we will win,though,” he says with alaugh.
Shihaam Nacerodien, theassistant coach to Smith,has a whole history of soft-ball seasons behind her.
She started off at the ageof 10 and played in the SuperLeague until the age of 45.
“I am excited to be part ofthe coaching staff, and it’sgreat to be coaching at thislevel. Being part of theWorld Series is a bigachievement, and I’m proudof them all.”
