The residents are claiming that they were not informed about it and there was no public participa- tion. The worst of their fears are the health implications that come with such a mast in a residential area.

Health concersn They say before their health starts to deteriorate, their request to the City is simple: “Take it down”. The mast has been standing in the yard for close to three months despite the fact that no due process- es where followed, residents say. It is alleged that when the resi- dents started questioning the legal- ities of the mast, the telecommun- cation company which installed it suddenly started advertising it and sending residents information about it to get the public to partici- pate. According to the application, more that 50 houses close to where the mast will be, were notified about it, but residents say none of them were told about it. In the ap- plication to the City it states that the closing date for objections, comments and representation is Monday 13 June. Residents are saying it’s a little too late for the City to do what was supposed to be done before the mast was erected, and now they want it demolished. Resident Deon de Wet says he was surprised one day when he came home from work to see the mast. “The morning I went to work, there was nothing. When I came back, the mast was there. It was a quick job – done within just hours. Since then we have been complain- ing about this because we have the elderly as well as children around here, and this will affect their health. What upsets us even more is the fact that none of us were ever informed about this. How did the City let this happen? No proper procedures were followed,” he says. Another resident, Jan Burger, says they can’t allow this mon- strosity to continue. “These masts are mushrooming in our area and we can’t allow this to continue to happen. There is no openness when the City does things. They al- ways say they are an inclusive City and a City that works for us, but how did they allow this to happen? No consultation “This is not legal; people were not given a chance to air their views. Now that we are complain- ing they are suddenly sending let- ters and saying if we have objec- tions we must send them through. “For what? They have already sealed the deal and the mast has been here for months. We are sick and tired of how the City deals with issues. This is a democracy and we must be included. We are sick and tired of being dumped at the bot- tom when the city does things.” Glorya Alfreds, secretary of the Princess Vlei Civic Association, says they want the mast demol- ished. “We want it taken down com- pletely. It’s bad for health. We don’t want it here. We didn’t get any noti- fication on it, and when we fol- lowed it up, we were told it was ille- gal and the owners will have 60 days to take it off or be fined.

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.

JulianCleophas isthe campaignproducer foran upcomingfilm entitledAlison: TheMovie, whichwill make itsinternationaldebut at theEncountersFilm Festivalin June. Themovie isdirected byUga Carlini.

FROM PAGE 1“We don’t want them to be fined because ifthey are fined, it means they can leave itthere,” she says.“Wedon’twant that;wewant it to go. These

are the outcomes of dirty money – people arenot properly consulted because somewhere,somehow, there are people benefitting fromit while others suffer,” she says.Residents are signing a petition in objec-

tion to the mast and raising their concernson how flawed the whole process was.Johan van derMerwe,Mayoral Committee

Member forEnergy, Environmental andSpa-tial Planning confirmed that they are awareof the mast and it is unauthorised.“A land use application for this freestand-

ing base telecommunication station has beensubmitted and is currently being advertised.

The application was received on Friday 22January this year. The application is cur-rently undergoing a public participationprocess.“A notice regarding the unauthorised con-

struction has been served. The City cannotimmediately order the demolition of themast; we are obliged to go through a lengthylegal process.”Van der Merwe adds that since the mast

was erected without due processes being fol-lowed, themast could potentially be requiredto be demolished.Alternatively, an administrative penalty

could be imposed.The City of Cape Town couldn’t determine

whether the mast is currently operational ornot.

After nearly three decades, Luke Towns-end, the principal librarian at City of

Cape Town’s Wynberg Library, will retireat the end of May and dance to a differenttune.A love of reading and music inspired him

to become a librarian and it’s a job he loath-es to leave behind.“I started working for City libraries in

1984 at the Rondebosch Library. I worked atseveral libraries over the next few years un-til I arrived at Wynberg Library in 1986where I worked in the Music Departmentuntil 1989,” he says.For the next few years he lived inAmster-

dam and was re-employed at the WynbergLibrary in July 1994.It’s his passion formusic thatmakes it the

highlight of Townsend’s job.“I enjoy developing the collection, the cat-

aloguing and dealing with music. I also en-joy the referencequeries in general, but par-ticularly the music related searches,” hesays.Townsend says theMusic andArt Depart-

ment at Wynberg Library feels like his ba-by.“The CD and LP collections are second to

none. In fact, Wynberg Library appears tobe the only library in South Africa with anintact LP record collection. The DVD collec-tion is still in its infancy, but has manyhigh-quality feature movies and documen-taries,” Townsend explains.Music has also sparked some interesting

enquiries.“The funniest query I ever had was from

an elderly gentleman who asked me wheth-er we had any recordings by “Sultana”. Hewas sent by his daughter to get a CD by San-tana.”Other highlights of his time at Wynberg

Library include the proactive maintenanceproject in 2014 which saw the interior of thelibrary completely rearranged and thebuilding made disabled-friendly.Townsend says that although people are

reading less, according to membership sta-tistics Wynberg Library has 8900 patrons.“Most people do not read printed materi-

als anymore and aremovingmore andmoretowards digital media such as the internet,which means their reading habits are hap-hazard and they are less likely to developcrucial analytical skills. Few people these

days have the attention span necessary inorder to cope with reading an entire book,”he says.The children’s librarians at Wynberg Li-

brary have many ongoing programmes in-cludingvibrant pram jamsandpyjama jamsthat are becoming increasingly popular.“One of themost effectiveways of encour-

aging children to read is to expose them toaudio books by high quality readers. Thiscan instil a love of language and develop an-alytical understanding. The word stimu-lates the imagination. We should also en-courage children to listen tomusic for itselfand not always expect music to accompanysome kind of image,” he explains.When he closes this chapter on his life,

Townsend plans to play lots of music.“I really want to re-readHeart of darkness

by Joseph Conrad as well as The sun alsorises by Ernest Hemingway. But beautifulby Geoff Dyer is a book I’ve had on myshelves at home for years but never read,so that’s next on my list,” Townsend says.BelindaWalker, CityMayoral Committee

member for community services and spe-cial projects, commended Townsend for hisyears of service.“The music collection at Wynberg Li-

brary is one of the most extensive in thecountry. Many in the industry know thatit’s the place to find that rare recording youmay be looking for and it’s due to Luke’sdedication and passion.”“Librarians have become an integral part

of our communities. They are more thanjust the people who check out books andhave helped to turn our libraries into safe,educational spaces and recreational hubs.“While we are sad to see him go, we com-

mend Luke for his dedication and wish himwell on this new journey,” says Walker.

Wynberg police have cautioned against cell-phone robbers.Lieutenant Ntomboxolo Nqunqeka, a

tively, the following numbers can be usedwhen blacklisting a cellphone: MTN – 083 808or 173; Vodacom – 082 111, Cell C – 084 140, Vir-gin Mobile – 123 or 074 1000 123, Telkom 180 or081 180. These service providers will providevictims with an ITC reference number.

Plastic’s not the enemyDESIREE RORKE

@dezzierorke

Plastic is inevitable. It’s not the enemy –we are.

World renowned Belgian artist WilliamSweetlove reckons a world without plasticis no longer possible.

“The problem isn’t the plastic itself, butthe fact that people burn it and throw it intothe sea,” he says.

He brings this conservation messagehome in a whimsical yet compelling exhibi-tion of neo-pop sculptures, which opened atthe Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gar-den on Wednesday 11 May.

Labelled “Water Wars”, the exhibitiontells the story of mankind’s war with water.

By 2025, one in three people will live withabsolute water scarcity, according to thefood and agriculture organisation of theUnited Nations.

“Yet, the excesses of humanity are threat-ening our natural resources,” he says.

Sweetlove’s sculptures are made from re-cycled plastic from landfills and transformordinary animals and objects into iconic fig-ures.

His unique works of art have challengedpeople to become environmental thinkersfor close to 50 years through more than 600exhibitions worldwide.

It is not difficult to see why.The pieces are bold and playful, but defi-

nitely make you think.More than 60 red, black and white pen-

guins positioned or rather installed in theVleiGarden, for example, draw theattentionto the impending shortage of clean drinkingwater.

“They have water bottles tied to theirbacks suggesting a survival measure, andface the mountain in an almost pleadingfashion – pleading for fresh water.”

At the Old Dam, the Fisherman-huntersculpture speaks to our dwindling ocean re-sources. “In order for the fisherman to sur-vive, he eats less and therefore has shrunk.As there are no fish left in the ocean, he hasnow become a hunter.”

In addition to his solo work sculpture,Sweetlove has worked collaboratively withother artists for more than 20 years as amember of the Cracking Art Group, foundedin 1983 in northern Italy. Their collectivework calls attention to environmental andsocial issues.

One such poignant installation shows theplight of the turtles in Venice as they try toescape the canals that keep them fromreach-ing the ocean.

The founder of the Cape Town Art Agency,Dirk Durnez, who collaborated with Sweet-love and South African National Biodiversi-ty Institute (Sanbi) on the exhibition, saysthe exhibition aims to create a change ofmindset about conservation – especially inyoung people.

The exhibition will continue at Kirsten-bosch until Saturday11 June, after which itwill journey through South Africa, endingin Pretoria.

Karl Stouthuysen, Belgian consul to CapeTown, officiated the exhibition.

He said initiatives like this stress the needfor ecological awareness.

“Water is most precious for all creaturesgreat and small.”

Hout Bay caracalfreed from trapWildlife inspectors last week released a

caracal that had become trapped inHout Bay, back into the wild.Inspectors were alerted to the trapped

caracal on on Sunday 15May. Megan Reid,Wildlife Unit supervisor, and trainee in-spector Kelly Spence arrived on the sceneto assist the Urban Caracal Project in free-ing the animal.The caracal had minimal injuries, a dis-

location on one of its toes, and was moni-

tored for two nights at the SPCA WildlifeUnit in Grassy Park before its release backinto the wild last Tuesday.The Urban Caracal Project led by Laurel

Klein Serieys, together with the Cape ofGood Hope SPCA, fitted a tracking unit ontothis caracal. This will allow the Urban Cara-cal Project to monitor all of the animal’smovements in its natural habitat, thereforeensuring the conservation of the speciesacross the Table Mountain National Park.

Talent and tunes fortennis developmentGARY VAN DYK

@gvdcapejazz

Tennis development in the Western Cape isgetting tuned in with some support from toptalents.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.“We understand that many communities

face pressing problems and that interven-tions that talkmore substantially to povertyalleviation, education and job creationmight be more needed,” he says.“However, we have the skill-set, network,

knowledge and access to relevant partner-ships to impact meaningfully on some ofthese areas through tennis.”

Imparting life skillsHe explains that the project has started

with tennis because it presents a fantasticlifelong sport option and vehicle for impart-ing life skills.“It also presents a huge development op-

portunity because tennis structures in mostcommunities have collapsed.“Municipal tennis facilities in black com-

munities are derelict. In our view the mainreason for this can be found in the ‘unifica-tion’ of tennis structures after democracy.“Today, it costs a child R15 000 per year (at

the entry level and excluding the cost ofequipment) to learn to play tennis as com-pared to R500 to R2500 per year to play crick-et, because the only coaching programmesin existence are private programmes.

“The situation cries out for a subsidisedcoaching programme to be implemented byWP Tennis through schools and (once estab-lished) clubs in black communities.”Fourie, who has extensive academic, so-

cial development and corporate experienceobtained with various teaching institutionsand projects, has a passion for jazz and sportthriving in an environmentwhere he can as-sist young people to take advantage of thebenefits that sport and music have to offer.

Great line-upOther project managers included in the

programme are Tony Loubser, an attorneywho serves on the executive committee ofWP Tennis where he has managed the Jun-ior Portfolio for the past three years, andGu-gulethu entrepreneur Modise Myoli.Fourie, who will also be performing, add-

ed that the event at Artscape will includekeynote speakers Lorenzo Davids, CEO ofCommunity Chest, and Dr Shirley Zinn, au-thor of Swimming Upstream.“We’ve got a great line-up of talents for the

show,” he says.“This includes the Andrew Ford Quartet,

Adelia Douw of the Delft Big Band, The JazzYard Academy from Bonteheuwel and theNew Apostolic Church Children’s Choir,while there will also be extracts from Mikevan Graan’s latest play Pay back the Curry!”Tickets for the event cost R195, or R175 for

Catch all thecountry classicsWith more than 40 years in the local

entertainment industry under hisbelt, DennisEast is truly one of SouthAf-rica’s living legends.In fact, the “Dammit I Love You” sing-

er from Harfield Village will be just oneof the legends on stage for this year’sBakgat Country Opskop at the Grand-West Grand Arena on Sunday 5 Junefrom 15:00. He’ll be joined by Bobby An-gel – who celebrates his 80th birthdaythis year, Tommy Oliver, Lance James,Barbara Ray, Steve Hofmeyr and Rock-ing Horse along with Country favouriteManie Jackson and up-and-coming art-ists Pieter Mohr and Dee-Dee.Dennismakes his return to theBakgat

CountryOpskop stage this year afterhav-ing last performed at the concert in 2014.He promises to perform his biggest hitslike “Take my Heart”, “Cry to me” and“AMillion Drums”, adding: “All of themare going to have a lekker country feel.”Dennis won’t just be performing at the

concert though; he’s also been helpingChristo Booyens from Bakgat Promo-tions to put the show together. The twohave been working together for years.Dennis performed at Christo’s CountryLegends show after meeting him on theToeka 2 tour and says he’s looking for-ward to the production they’ll be pre-senting in June.“This kind of showdeserves a big audi-

ence,” he says. “You’ve got to give peoplewhat they want and there isn’t enoughof this.”As a songwriter,musician andproduc-

er, Dennis knows a thing or two aboutwhat music fans want. He’s currentlybusy producing his seventh album forManie Jackson and says with pride: “Allof his albums have achieved gold status,with a number of them even going plati-num.”When he isn’t busy in his Blue View

Music studio, Dennis is still very busywith live work. “I’m pretty busy, rightaround the country, for which I’m verygrateful.”Dennis has been making music since

the early 70s. He released his first ofmany hits in 1974 before joining the rockgroupStingray in the late 70s. Fans of theband may be excited to hear that theremay be a possible revival show on thecards for Stingray in the future.Whenhe touredwithSteveHofmeyr in

2006 forToeka 2, people started recognis-ing him for his Creedence ClearwaterRevival medley. The medley has nowevolved into an 18 minute long versioncalled “Creedence Non-Stop”, whichhe’ll be releasing on the new album he’sworking 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 and

paramedics,” he jokes.On a more serious note, Dennis says

he still has lots of energy when it comesto his live performances. “I still lovecharging into the audience. My only re-quest for live shows is for a wireless micso I can leave the stage. I can’t just standstill.”Dennis says he’s crazy about the ener-

gy of music and loves the people he getsto work with, especially the artists he’llbe joining at this year’s Bakgat CountryOpskop. “I think it’s a very strong line-up…. fromManie, to Steve, to TommyOl-iver who’s never performed at the con-cert before.”Then of course there are, as Dennis

puts it, the old country favourites andsome new faces.V Tickets for this year’s Bakgat Country Opskopat GrandWest’s Grand Arena from 15:00 on Sun-day 5 June cost between R135 and R175 from Com-puticket with discounts available for children andblock bookings.

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.

Still fightingfor freedomWhether you’re fighting a just cause,breaking the law and infringing onother people’s rights is wrong andshould be discouraged.Community leaders, union leaders,

student leaders – if you entice violence,vandalise property, intimidate or forcepeople to be part of your cause, what doyou call yourselves when you look inthe mirror? A leader, freedom fighter oractivist? You are in fact an oppressor.Freedom is the right of an individual

to act out of free will. If you have ahandful of people willing to protest withyou for a just cause, without anytactics, you can pat yourself on theshoulder and rightfully call yourself aleader.“No-one but ourselves can free our

mind”, so what right do you have toforce people to act according to yourwill?Society is falling apart because we fail

to recognise freedom for what it is – therespect and tolerance for another, evenif they don’t see things the way thatyou do.This freedom has been fought for and

in many instances died for.CARMEN NAZIER

Animals nicer than peopleTo Yagyah Adams (“Death penalty isrequired”, People’s Post 17 May) very wellsaid – the time has come to create anatmosphere of abject fear among those insociety who create abject fear amongstthe innocent in society.The only point that I would take up

with Adams is the second last paragraph“While we have the most violent societyon earth, those – who live in a well-pro-tected leafy suburb, far removed fromviolence – want to lecture the victims ofviolence”.Not quite true: the Constitutional Court

was created by our late Madiba in 1994 –subsequently this then politically createdCourt abolished the death penalty on6 June 1995.Prior to this, the last political hanging

was of Jeffrey Boesman Mangena on 29September 1989.My attitude towards the abolishment of

the death penalty is that it should havebeen voted on by the public in a referen-dum – however, in those early days itmay well have got the vote in favour ofabolishment.I am prepared to bet that if this was

put to the vote today via a public referen-dum (including those living in protectedleafy suburbs), it would probably bereinstated as it appears that the onlylanguage criminals do not understand isthat of going to prison.A Parliamentary law should be passed

that stops bail applications for murder-ers, rapists, paedophiles and other grosscrimes. Sentences are a joke – Parliamentin the same way should set out mini-mum, without parole sentences of saymurder (30 years), rape (20 years), childmolesters (20 years) and not leave thiscurrently arbitrary decision to magis-trates and judges.Sadly this will probably never happen –

South Africa, as the rest of the world,plays the political game of “Constitution-al Rights”; these working more in favourof criminals than victims.Never must we say of criminals “they

are worse than animals” – there is onlyone major difference between modern daysociety and animals, and that is thatanimals are a lot nicer!

ROD TOERIENEmail

Death penalty is never a solutionRegarding “Death penalty is required”(People’s Post 18 May).Criminals do not fear the death penal-

ty. Why would suicide bombers continuewith their vile belief in martyrdom? Fewpeople consider consequences when theycontemplate their murderous plans.Stirring up emotions about one particu-

lar case is tantamount to instigatingviolence. Many more victims lose theirlives daily. No right-thinking person willever “find an excuse for murderers” – avery dangerous lie used by lovers ofdeath penalty to confuse ordinary people.Of course everybody sympathises withvictims when they fall prey to derangedpeople. It is a blatant lie and generalisa-tion to mention that “they (opponents ofdeath penalty) never mention the anguish

of a parent whose child was murderedwhile playing in a neighbourhood park”.Ours can never be regarded as “the

most violent society on earth”. Whatabout the US, where 33 000 gun-relateddeaths are recorded each year? Whatabout Syria, Somalia, Nigeria, Libya,Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, all deathpenalty countries drowning in devastat-ing violence, to name a few?Those in “leafy suburbs” do not lecture

the victims of violence. They will contin-ue to warn against this Trojan horse.The biggest lie, “death penalty is the

only punishment criminals fear”: thetruth and reality will one day catch upwith this modern-day Goebbels.

KOERT MEYEREmail

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 “artist” should

remove his stuff (“Water Wars”) andplacard forthwith and restore this littlecorner of serenity! If he wants a plat-form for his work then he should buildhis own little pool and put it in anexhibition hall of art – it is certainlyout of place where it destroys thenatural beauty. This is a world heritagesite that attracts thousands of visitorsfrom overseas – I believe there were6000 people there on the last publicholiday.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 thepremises because it would upset theaesthetic beauty of the scenery, andnow this? What are the people whomake the decisions thinking?

JEANETTE AIREYSandvlei

Death sentence no deterrentIn People’s Post (17 May) Yagyah Adamswrote “Death penalty is required” to curbcrime.Really? If indeed capital punishment

would “curb the crime rate”, why hasSouth Africa’s murder rate been on thedecline since it was abolished in 1995?Then the rate was 67.9 per 100 000 people;at present it’s 32.2 per 100 000 people (asimilar phenomenon occurred whenCanada abolished it in 1976; their murderrate also declined).In the United States, a September 2000

New York Times survey found that duringthe previous 20 years, the murder rate instates with the death penalty has been48% to 101% higher than in stateswithout the death penalty.The Economist echoes this, saying

“there is no solid evidence that the deathpenalty is any more effective at deterringmurder than long terms of imprisonment.This seems counter-intuitive. Surelydeath must deter someone. But the kindsof people who kill are rarely equipped, orin a proper emotional state, to make finecalculations about the consequences.Even for those who are, decades ofimprisonment may be as great a deter-rent as the remote prospect of execution.”In European countries which have

banned such extreme sanction, theirmurder rate remains far below that ofAmerica’s. More than two-thirds ofcountries have done away with it eitherin law or in practice.Even in Malaysia, a zealous exponent

of state-sanctioned killings for drug

dealing, the Malaysian Bar has urged thegovernment to abolish the death penalty.Records have shown that the deathpenalty has not reduced the number ofoffences, but they have instead increased.This shows that the death penalty has azero deterrent effect.Amnesty International states: “The

threat of execution at some future date isunlikely to enter the minds of thoseacting under the influence of drugs oralcohol, those who are in the grip of fearor rage, those who panic while commit-ting another crime, or those who sufferfrom mental illness and do not fullyunderstand the gravity of their crime.”A number of violent crimes, notably

murder, rape and assault, are called“social fabric crimes” by the policebecause many of these offences arecommitted by people known to oneanother in familiar environments. InSouth Africa, 50.3% of women murderedare killed by an intimate partner. Elevat-ed blood alcohol levels combined withunemployed status was also found to beassociated with intimate killings.Obviously then, drink and drugs

exacerbates the violence when the killerhas lost his civil faculties. And hardly, inthe rage of the moment, will the potentialkiller think: “Hold on a moment, I mayget the death penalty for this.” Indeed, ifthat thug knows he could face the deathpenalty, nothing will hold him back fromfurther violence against others.

Fees paid for ‘future president’TIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

Aaron Nzenzo (10) from Ottery MethodistPrimary School in Wynberg says when

he grows up one day, hewants to become thepresident of this country.Nzenzo’s entry of him describing what he

wants to be when he grows up, was one ofthe winning entries in this year’s Shoprite‘Class of 2016’ initiative.Through this initiative, over 420 young

South Africans will have their school feespaid for the year.This is an annual competition open to pu-

pils from Grades 1 to 12 across the country,inviting them to submit a short essay ordrawing which best describes what they

want to be when they grow up. Winners arechosen in a randomdrawby representativesfrom every Shoprite store across the coun-try,with thewinningpupils’ school feespaidup in full for the entire year.Now in its 10th year, the “Class of” initia-

tive has already paid more than R3.5m inschool fees, empowering learners and theirfamilies each year with the gift of educationwithout having to worry about the burdenof escalating school fees.Neil Schreuder, marketing director at

Shoprite, describes the company’s view oneducation as being liberating.Nzenzo’s teacher, Selina Gordon, says the

initiative broadens the learners’ horizons.“It helps them to stretch their imagina-

tions and think about what their goals are

and how they can achieve them.”The initiative is part of Shoprite’s broader

commitment to education in local communi-ties across the country that also includes anextensive bursary programme.Over the past 20 years, the group has

awardedmore than 2700 one-year study bur-saries to the value of over R110m. Interest-ingly, 70% of these bursaries have been allo-cated over the past five years alone as theneed for student financial support has be-come greater. In 2016, the group is awardingbursaries to the value of almost R20m to de-serving students across the country. Theseefforts are further complementedbyan initi-ative to foster education that provides hotmeals for children in need in an initiativecalled the “Feed a child, nourish a mind.”

Aaron Nzenzo from Ottery Methodist PrimarySchool in Wynberg is one of the pupils whoseentry was chosen as the best in the Shoprite’s‘Class of 2016’ initiative. He will have his feespaid for the rest of the year.

Football3 lays down rootsJOSEPH PILLAY

Non-governmental organisation Oasis haveintroduced a football program, called foot-ball3, to the communities around their orga-nisation’s base in Schaapkraal with themain focus being to educate the youth in theskills of fair play and respect using footballas a tool to carry over the message.It was introduced at the youth centres

within the communities to focus on scholarsafter school, who use the centre on a regularbasis. Since its origins in Medellin, Colom-bia, football3 has been further developed bythe “streetfootballworld” network membersaround the world into a comprehensivemethodology to address a range of social top-

ics, such as gender equality, health andpeace building.According to Clifford Martinus, founder

and chairperson of Oasis’ Reach For YourDreams, football3 empowers youngpeople totake responsibility for their actions andtreat others fairly.The programme is named after its “three

halves” – a pre-match discussion, footballgame, and post match discussion.The groundbreaking initiative incorpo-

rates key life lessons into every match. Inmixed-gender teams, players collectively de-cide on the rules before the game.Following the match, they reflect on their

behaviour and the behaviour of their oppo-nents, with points awarded for goals as wellas for fair play. As football3 is played with-out referees, players must learn how to re-solve conflicts themselves through dialogueand compromise.A mediator is appointed for each match,

but is not actively involved the actual gameitself. He or she conducts the pre- and post-match discussions and delivers a verdict ifthere is any decision which cannot be re-solved. All other decisions are decided bythe participating players, who judge andawardpoints for their opponents level of fairplay and adherence to the set out rules.In 2015, Oasis rolled out this program into

organised football at a junior level, focusingon youth under the age of ten. After discus-sions with the South Peninsula Local Foot-ball Association (LFA), it was decided to in-troduce the football3 concept and methodol-ogy to the youngsters of the local clubs.Meanwhile, Oasis is sending a delegation

to streetfootballworld Festival16 in Lyon.The festival is scheduled to take place fromFriday 1 July to Thursday 7 July.The Homeless World Cup is next in line,

from Sunday 10 July to Saturday 16 July.

Eugene Minords (left) and Martine Samuelshave been selected as a delegation leaderand youth leader that will be attending theFestival16 in France in July.

Perfect weather and brisk racing highlight-ed the third round of the 2016 Western CapeKarting Championship at Killarney on Sat-urday 21 May.Saturday’s races featured a few interest-

ing upsets as well as some expected resultsamong the day’s highlights.Dario Busi (Automan Birel) bounced back

in race 2. Coetzee bounced back to take thefinale from Boyd, Busi, Duminy, Hammanand Strydom.The primary school Maxterino 60s deliv-

ered their usual fireworks as Charl Visser(Battery Energy Zanardi) put two wins overprincipal rival JosephOelz (Zanardi) to takethe day, but Troy Dolinschek (Makita Ko-smic) was the star of the day as he took athird, a second and his first win in the classin the finale to end up a close second overalland ahead of Oelz.The little u.8 Cadet class kids saw Paul

Malcolm dominate, winning the first two ra-ces fromReza Levy (Jive) and the third fromReese Koorzen while Levy, Mischca Willi-ams and Joaquin de Oliveira shared out thethird places with Ethan Stier right thereamong them.The Cape karters return to Killarney for

Milano United have missed the chanceto gain promotion from the NationalFirst Division (NFD) after being held

to a 1-1 draw in their final league matchagainst Baroka FC.Milanoneeded to beat Baroka andhope re-

sults elsewhere went their way in order tosneak into the promotion/relegation play-offs for a coveted spot in the Premier SoccerLeague (PSL) next season and they seemedto have aided their cause after MzwaneleMahashe opened the scoring to give the lead,which they carried through to half-time.However, theywould be pegged back byBar-oka’s Thabiso Kutumela to give the hosts avaluable point which saw them claim theNFD title and gain automatic promotion tothe PSL next season.The result meant that Milano United fin-

ished sixth on the table, five points from apotential third place finish, which wouldhave seen them qualify for the playoffs.In other results on Sunday, Santos, al-

ready assured of NFD survival, succumbedto a spirited FC Cape Town at Athlone Stadi-um, while Cape Town All Stars could notprovide Milano with a much-needed favour

when they lost to Mbombela United at theKanyamazane Stadium.Other results from the final day of the

NFD:Witbank Spurs 5-1 Moroka SwallowsThanda Royal Zulu 3-2 African WarriorsVasco Da Gama 0-1 Black LeopardsRoyal Eagles 3-1 Mthatha BucksHighlands Park 4-1 AmaZulu
