ACHMAT EBRAHIMCITY MANAGER THIS CITYWORKS FOR YOU

Green is ‘more cost effective’TERESA FISCHER

STOMPING around the farmin his boots with braces hold-ing up his shorts, Akim Riem-er’s unconventional lookmatches his thinking.

He is the founder of the GreenGuerrillas, an environmentalgroup which aims to “lead a rev-olution against our own compla-cency”.Riemer takes People’s Post on

a whirlwind tour of his Sunny-dale farm, providing an intrigu-ing glimpse into the future of ur-ban, sustainable farming.Outside the pig pen, he stoops

to grabahandful of sand – sayingthe major challenge for farmingin theWestern Cape is presentedby barren beach sand. “We arefarming soil,” he explains.That’swhere the pigs come in; they put the

life back into the soil. Within 27 days thepigs,with the help of anaerobic bacteria, cre-ate two tons of “black, growing sand” by dig-ging waste through the sand. Two of his pigscame from a medical research facility andhad never seen soil or sunlight. They haveto be kept in a shaded place to prevent theirsoft, white skin getting sunburnt.“The pig is the fourth most intelligent ani-

mal in the world and also the first domesti-cated by man,” he remarks.Other animals on the property include Ro-

sie and Daisy, the pregnant cows. Dustychickens peck around among the chocolatebrown bovines.“A chicken can eat 300 ticks in 30 min-

utes,” he shares.And hismillions ofworms can process one

ton of organic matter within 24 hours, turn-ing into vermicast. The organic waste is col-lected from Fish Hoek Primary School everyFriday. A little “worm psychology” and theyare “compost-making machines”. He ex-plains inhappy conditions theywill eat theirown body weight in a day.Further along, an old bath is filled to the

brim with dog faeces, sprouting lush tomatoplants and other vegetables. Here thewormsare also at work. Riemer says they have the

toughest job on the farm – poo patrol – con-verting faecalmatter into fertile soil, but arehappy as the proverbial pigs.Another of the farm’s experiments is creat-

ing cost-effective probiotic fertiliser. Riemerjokes the brown liquid bubbling away inwheelie bins looks like a witch’s brew. Themixture includes worm poop, herbs, sea-weed and molasses.Riemer says there is a good reason to “step

over to the dark side of compost brewing” be-cause plants will last longer without watercompared to soil “broken by chemicals”.Adding the brew to soil results in triple theyield.One of the core beliefs of the Guerrillas is

that “greener should be cheaper”.Riemer insists it is possible to grow food

in a low-cost way, especially by using waste.“We have been brainwashed into thinkingabout waste as something we can’t use,” hesays.“We have engineered ourselves out of na-

ture,” says Riemer. “People must questiontheir weakness of being controlled by the ac-cess to foodandwater, turningus into batter-ies powering amachine that has no account-ability to our future.”Contact Riemer on 072 424 8239 or email

[email protected]. Or searchfor the Green Guerrillas on Facebook.

PARENTS who leave it too late to enroltheir children at school may not be ableto get them into their schools of choice.

By the start of the school term, many ofthe schools are full, but theWesternCapeEd-ucation Department (WCED) will attempt tofind places for these pupils as soon as possi-ble.Marine Primary School principal Wayne

Lawrence says this year 240 pupils havebeen enrolled in Grade 1 and they have 55new Grade R pupils. This Ocean Viewschool’s waiting list stands at 50. Lawrencesays it is best to register your child fromJune the year before they start school to re-duce the administration burden and ensurea place.Ukhanyo Primary School principal

Phuthumile Tyhali says 210 Grade 1 pupilshave been enrolled. The school’s waiting liststands at 65.Bronagh Casey, the spokesperson for Edu-

cationMECDonald Grant, says late arrivalsare not unusual and they happen every year.Casey says some of these parents have le-

gitimate reasons for late application, butadds a minority have simply left enrolmenttoo late.The education department’s aim is to try

to get all pupils into schools as soon as possi-ble to prevent any further disruption to theirlearning time.They offer to assist parents to place their

child, but ask par-ents to be patient asthey expect it couldtake at least a weekto determine wherethe majority of lateenrolments can beplaced. Parents canphone theWCEDcallcentre at 0861 923 322where agents willput parents in touchwith the relevant of-ficials.

Near-drowning at Kalk BayTERESA FISCHER

A MAN was saved from drowning atKalk Bay Harbour at 15:00 last Satur-day.

Kalk Bay Harbour manager GeorgeMandalios says the man had been tryingto swim from the beach to Kalky’s.

He had only got about halfway acrosswhen he started going underwater.

Kalky’s patrons and harbour securitywent to his assistance.

Hewas unconsciouswhenhewas takenfrom the water. It is believed the distancethe man tried to swim is about 80m.

One of the bystanders, a nurse, beganCPR on the 55-year-old man.

Cape Medical Response (CMR) spokes-person Darren Zimmerman says whenparamedics arrived they took over resus-citation efforts.

Zimmerman says CMRwas then joinedby Metro EMS and Fire Services.

These efforts were successful and para-medics got a pulse. Themanwas then air-lifted toGroote SchuurHospital using theEMSSkymedhelicopter.Hewas in a criti-cal but stable condition.

Rental market: better option?Rental market: better option?WHETHER to live in or buy-to-let, fewerpeople are able to buy a home due to cur-rent economic conditions.

This is according to a release by a proper-ty group.Jan le Roux, CEO of Leapfrog Property

Group, says: “Everyone needs somewhereto live and, if possible, it’s always best topurchase a home; as such the residentialpropertymarket has continued to seemove-ment. However, when it comes to secondproperties or investment properties themarket has taken strain over the past fouryears as people tighten their belts.”Recent research conducted by John Loos,

FNBHouseholdandConsumerSectorStrat-egist, and Michelle Dickens, MD of TenantProfile Network (TPN) indicate that the in-vestment segment of themarket may be im-proving. The reason being that more peopleare looking to rent in an effort to avoid thecosts associated with owning a property,boosting the rental markets across thecountry, says the statement.The latest FNB Property Barometer also

predicts a further downward correction interms of house prices whichmay well boostthe investment share of the market.According to economist Mike Schüssler

more than 9.2 million households rent, ofwhich 1.6 million rent formal structures.His estimates, based on the first and secondquarter of 2012, also indicate that around700 000 households rent properties in theformal suburbanmarket. Add to this figurethe growing shortage of student accommo-dation around universities across the coun-try and it is obvious that the rental marketis sizeable.When it comes to purchasing-to-let Dick-

ens points out that “it is actually the incomestream that it generates, relative to theprice paid, that should really be the focus.In investor-speak, a far better number to fo-cus on would arguably be the ‘initial yield’,that is, the income expected to be earnedover the next year divided by the propertyvalue”.Le Roux adds that “investors will also

benefit from capital growth on their proper-ties, in themedium and long term, as priceswill rise again with the need for housinggrowing all the time”.It is this projected income stream that has

come under pressure in recent years: ac-cording to research released by PayProp

“the biggest risk for non-payment is en-countered in the sub-R3 000 and above-R12 000 rental brackets. Below R3 000, ten-ants are hampered by inflationary pres-sures, while interest rates appear to thwartthe more indebted tenants of the above-R12 000 category”.However TPN data does illustrate that, as

of the first quarter of 2012, 81% of tenantswere in good standing as opposed to 71% in2009, says the statement.Apart from the issue of late rental pay-

ment or non-payment PayProp’s Rental In-dex for the second quarter this year indi-

cates that the average national rental forJune was R5 178 a month, slightly higherthan the February figure of R5 172. Figuresindicate that current rental increases don’tgo over 5% as tenants struggle with the in-creasing costs of food, fuel and electricity.Loos indicates that the average gross

yield now stands at 8.58%. Not much of animprovement, but it is higher than the6.655% yield in 2006. Whether this yield isenough to entice investors back to the mar-ket is debatable as these are gross yieldsmeaning that the landlord still has to sub-tract the general costs associated with a

rental property.Dickens points out that the sectional title

segment of the market is currently provingmore attractive to investors, with Loosagreeing that small properties with fewerbedrooms are currently showing higheryields than larger and pricier homes.Le Roux says: “While Leapfrog has cer-

tainly seen an increase in interest from ten-ants looking to rent and from investorsseeking to buy-to-let, themarket is still fair-ly subdued and I agree with Loos and Dick-ens that 2013willmost likely seemore of thesame as economic conditions prevail.”

Game changeCOMPETITORS in the first Olympic eventran naked. Women were not allowed to com-pete.

Fast-forward to contemporary sports histo-ry and the natural highs of physical activityand healthy competition take a nosedive inthe pursuit of monetary gain and podium glo-ry. Not all sports people are guilty of doping.Yet surely those who do use drugs to enhancetheir performance and physique, do so wellknowing they put at risk the credibility of thesport. Not to mention their lucrative sponsor-ship deals.

The dark cloud that has hung over the headof now-disgraced cycling legend Lance Arm-strong has come home to roost. Other worldsports people come to mind. Marion Jones.Ben Johnson. There will be others with theproverbial feet of clay. The marriage of sportand drugs is not a message parents and honestsports people would want to send to entry-lev-el competitors. In many cases, children at pri-mary school level look up to their heroes.

With Armstrong in the race, everyone elsewas cycling for second place. It was acceptedhe’d wear the yellow jersey. He was the leaderof the pack. Literally. And he had the trophyhaul to prove his dominance on the Tour deFrance.

His admission – whether with or withoutremorse – to doping notwithstanding, the dieis cast. The decision whether or not to strikecycling from the Olympic event, strippingArmstrong of his medals and the expectedbanning of dopers from competitions and thesport are all reactionary measures.

The measure of the athlete lies in what real-ly drives sporting achievers to follow theirhearts to run, swim, cycle or compete in ex-treme sports.

Parents and coaches do have a role to playto ensure the message to “keep it clean” getsthrough to their potential Olympians.

Ultimately, though, the decision lies withthe individual over whether to achieve with-out the benefit of performance enhancers oron true grit.

Road use a matter of courtesyTHE problem of cyclists and the enforcement ofthe laws relating to cyclists is becoming an issuefor many of us who were pro-cyclist and theirrights on the road. It seems that there is no wayof enforcing the behaviour of many cyclists.

It was once referred to as the minority spoil-ing it for the majority. I am no longer so sureof this as my personal observations at differentlocations say otherwise. The large numbers ofcyclists riding abreast and gliding through redlights is a huge concern. At times this is as muchas 50%, especially in the larger groups. This pastweek I had to wait for a group of 12 cyclists goingthrough a red light in Lakeside. If I had proceed-ed on green one or two of the cyclists would havehit me in the side. It is only a matter of time be-fore another cycling death or serious injury oc-curs and, sadly, the blame is starting to lean to-wards the cyclists.

I am a producer with a local community radiostation and I am now considering producing aradio programme on the problem of cyclists whodisregard the law. I would love to chat to stake-

holders, enforcement officials and the publicand find out what is going on.

The arrogance of cyclists who disregard thelaw by riding abreast and gliding through redlights is potentially creating a dangerous atti-tude of disregard in drivers who are sick andtired of this behaviour.

This mutual disregard is an accident waitingto happen and will again lead to a one-sided re-sult and an outcry when another cyclist dies oris permanently disabled through an accident oran incident of road rage.

As a courtesy I always give a short hoot whenapproaching cyclists in a bunch to let themknow I am passing.

How many more lives will be lost, not becauseof riding abreast, but accidents caused by driv-ers who develop attitudes towards cyclists as aresult of their disregard of the law? We can onlywait and see. Hopefully more answers and solu-tions will be provided soon.WAYNE G TURNERMuizenberg

Be on guardfor youth‘gang’PLEASE alert all residents inMarina da Gama about agang of children who roamour streets and break intohouses.

They are about 10 chaps,ranging from six to 12(years). I noticed them onMonday 7 January on theslipway outside my backgate. The next day my watersupply was cut at my homeand a copper tap had beenstolen.

I spotted them again on theThursday walking merrilydown Oudevlei Road.

On Sunday they returnedto check out the property andpottered around guests’ cars.Our friend noticed this, butthought nothing of it as thechildren were too young to beup to no good.

The next Monday they re-turned and this time theysmashed a window andwalked off with electronics –a laptop, Playstation andgames – worth R30 000. Theyhad the audacity to defecateoutside the window as if tomark their territory.

These children are armedand dangerous and I don’trecommend approachingthem.

Muizenberg Police were onthe ball and very helpful.PATULLA WEAVERMarina da Gama

Cyclists don’t kill driversI THINK Mr Frost (“Bike licence is needed”,People’s Post, 15 January) will discover that themajority of cyclists already have a licence, paytax and have had road training – by virtue ofbeing car drivers as well.

I suspect the odd cyclist that jumps red trafficlights also flouts the law when behind a carwheel. As Mr Frost well knows, cars are lethalweapons if handled incorrectly. Current driv-ing-related deaths are around 38 people a day;

topping the victim list are drivers, passengersand pedestrians. In England the majority of pe-destrians are killed on the pavement; I cannotget such detailed information on SA pedestriandeaths.

If a drug killed 35 people a day it would bewithdrawn. Umpteen times a day I see driversbreaking laws that are intended to protect allroad users. As yet no one has died from beinghit by a cyclist.MRS C PROSSERFish Hoek

Crafty way to hit junk for sixA KOMMETJIE environmental group has part-nered with an existing craft skills developmentproject tohelp cleanupbeachesand, in theproc-ess, create jobs.

The products are beach cricket sets created usingwaste material including plastic and bottle tops col-lected from local beaches by coastal crafters. Eachset includesabat, ball andwickets.One type ismadeentirely from waste materials including Port Jack-son off-cuts.

So far, 6 400 bottle top lids, 400 Sta Soft/Jik lids,6 000cm of Port Jackson and 20 000cm of pipe hasbeen used in the making of the sets.

The Kommetjie Environmental AwarenessGroup (KEAG) says the Kriki for Shore project alsoteaches young people about the importance of re-ducing, re-using and recycling waste.

The initiative follows a successful touch rugbyball initiative launched in 2011 by Enviroserve.This involved making rugby balls from recycledbillboards and plastic packets collected from thestreets.

KEAG, which specialises in managing projectsthat create employment opportunities to addressenvironmental needs, is managing the waste collec-tion. TheHarlequin Foundation, who have an exist-ing craft skills development project,makes the bats.

To date, 20 adults – 14 women who are sole breadwinners and six disabled crafters –will benefit fromthe skills and work generated through Kriki forShore.

The more orders the initiative gets the more peo-ple can be trained and the more days of work canbe provided.

Each Kriki for Shore set generates two days ofwork for a craft art trainee. Kriki for Shore sets re-tail at R185 each with profits being reinvested to-ward making more sets.

The Kriki for Shore cricket set is sponsored byEnviroServ in partnership with SuperSport’s Let’sPlay initiative.

For further information visit Kriki for Shore onFacebook or follow them on Twitter @kriki4shore.To order sets email [email protected] phone 076 656 8370.

Hockey lasses trip against BelgiumJONATHAN COOK

THE Investec South Africa women’shockey team suffered a disappointing4-0 test-serieswhitewashat thehands ofBelgium.

This after they went down 3-2 in the finaltest at Hartleyvale Stadium on Saturday.

The side’s had been deadlocked 2-2 athalf-time but Louise Versavel, after a well-struck cross from the right, slapped homethe winner with 15 minutes left on theclock.

The goalkeepers were kept busy in theend-to-end goalmouth action, but the strik-ers got enough past them to have been rea-sonably satisfied with their afternoon.

The scoreline opened when SA keeper Sa-nani Mangisa saved a shot from Jill Boon.A penalty corner then saw Stephanie deGroof stepping up to power in a raspingflick ricocheted off the stopper’s body intothe net.

SA hit back five minutes later whenQuanita Bobbs fed an early pass to JadeMayne, who fired a blitzing backhand shotfrom the edge of the strike zone.

Despite SA playing a more patient, meas-ured game than in the previous tests, Bel-gium again took the lead via the stick of DeGroof.

SA’s final first-half equaliser came fromLilian du Plessis following two consecutivepenalty corners.

Both sides had goals disallowed, but SAsuffered the mortification of seeing IzelleLategan’s slashing strike from the left sideof the strike zone in the second-half smashinto the post and stay out.

Going into the match South Africa werelooking for a morale-boosting win – and Bel-gium a series whitewash – ahead of theWorld League round two competition. Thetournament kicked off at Hartleyvale yes-terday (Monday).

South Africa’s campaign starts with amatch against Ghana at 19:00 today (Tues-day) and they will be boosted by the returnof captain Marsha Marescia.
