Though the finalisation processes have yet to be completed, they are glad that some- thing is being done to ensure that their com- munity is kept clean all the time. Clean-ups are done in dire areas every month while pamphlets are handed to resi- dents to encourage them to avoid dumping illegally. They are also given information on how to go about disposing of their refuse in- stead of dumping at an open field near them or on the road. They are also told where the nearest drop- off facility is so that they don’t dump every where. Last week Saturday they also held another clean-up and handed out pamphlets to resi- dents to encourage them to be part of solving the problem of illegal dumping, however they believe their work at the moment is not really noticed as people are still dumping the rubbish everywhere. Committee member Leslie Swartz says al- though their work hasn’t started showing as yet, people are beginning to see the benefits of a clean environment. “At the moment the difference is microscopic, but we are glad that we are doing something. In the areas that we clean, people can really see the dif- ference. After cleaning we also hand out pamphlets to let people know what to do with their litter or other refuse which the City can’t collect. “We don’t want people to dump illegally as it portrays the area in a bad light. It also causes a major health concern because of dirt all over,” he says. Through the committee that was formed three years ago, they are still trying to get to the bottom of illegal dumping and to come up with a solution so that the area can be kept clean. Through their analysis they found out the main cause of the problem is because the bins are not enough for people with back yard dwellers hence people end up dumping in the open field because the Solid Waste de- partment doesn’t collect anything out of the bin. “Part of the solution is that the City of Cape Town must make an effort in ensuring that the bags of people who put out their rub- bish on collection days, will be collected as well. If it is not collected, some residents are left with no choice but to dump,” he says. Swartz also added that those that will be seen dumping illegally will pay dearly for it as it is an offence. “When I see someone dumping illegally, I call law enforcement and they will be fined for that. We want to keep the area clean because it defines us. We are also encouraging other residents to re- port people dumping illegally so that we can keep a clean area,” he says. Those who want help to dispose of their rubble, grass cuttings or tree branches can email Swartz on [email protected] and he will try to help.

NICOLE MCCAIN@nickymccain

Twoworldwars, the invention ofthe motor car, the start of

Apartheid and the creation of ourdemocracy ...These are some of the events the

South African National Institutefor Crime Prevention and the Re-integration of Offenders (Nicro)hasweatheredwhile promoting re-forms in the justice system.This month Nicro celebrates its

105th birthday.Nicro works to divert offenders

from the courts so that they do notreceive a criminal record and en-couragesnon-custodial sentencingor community service as an alter-native to serving a sentence inprison.The organisation also offers

prison based support to enhancean offender’s chance of successful-ly reintegrating back into society.These services are offered to bothadults and children.On its establishment in 1910, the

primary objectives of the thenSouth African Prisoners Aid Asso-ciation involvedvisiting prisonersand encouraging their reform inaddition to providing support forthe accused, released prisonersand their family members, ex-plains Nicro spokesperson Jac-ques Sibomana.FoundedbyJusticeMrJdeVilli-

ers Roos, it was the first country-wide organisation of its kind forthe aid and after-care of prisoners

and their families.Prior to this theSalvationArmy,

as part of their activities, providedaccommodation for released pris-oners.Little more than a decade later

the organisation elected to expandits focus by introducing crime pre-vention services, which includedprovision for the prevention of re-cidivism or the relapse into crimi-nal behav-iour, thestudy of causeof crime andrecidivism inaddition topublic educa-tion.The organi-

sation also en-couraged thestudy of caus-es underlyingcrime.From the

onset the Association lobbied forsocial reform, both in terms ofcrime prevention and the rehabili-tation of offenders.“NICRO has had a great impact

and contribution to South AfricanCriminal Justice systems, and in-troduced key services that havenow been adopted by the Justicesystem,” Sibomana says.These include the establishment

of probation services, introducingdiversion services to children, thePioneered Prisoners friend servi-ces which started prison visitorsas well as non-custodial sentenc-

ing.The organisation was involved

in the establishment of labour bu-reaus and treatment facilities foralcoholics, as well as the introduc-tion of a scheme in terms of whichaccused people could pay theirfines in instalments.In 1970 the Association changed

its name to Nicro.Two decades later Nicro’s use of

lobbying and so-cial action as a toolto facilitate socialchange becamemore evident, ex-plains Sibomana.In 1990 the Na-

tional Council re-leased a statementlobbying for ap-propriate racialrepresentation onthe committee es-tablished to re-view the death

penalty, and on 17 October 1992 Ni-cro officially took an abolitioniststance against the death penalty.Currently Nicro is encouraging

the public to get involved in sup-porting the programs that NICROoffers, through individual giving,Sibomana says.“Wearehoping to see the organi-

sation growing strong and able toprovide the much needed servicesin our communities.“We need our communities to

get involvedwith thework that theorganisation is doing,” says Sibo-mana.

Who let the snakes out?Residents are more likely to experiencesnake encounters due to spring-time, warnsShaun MacLeod, co-ordinator of the SnakeRescue volunteer team in the Cape Peninsu-la.

“Every spring snakes come out of hiber-nation on the hunt for a much needed springmeal. Snakes are very important to our nat-ural environment as they control the ver-min rodents that destroy crops and carrynumerous diseases,” says MacLeod, who isalso a director of Reptile EducationalAwareness Consultants (REAC).

“Snakes and various other reptiles formpart of the very important balance in ourecosystem. A simple equation – the moresnakes we kill, the more rodents and peststhere will be.

“We have encroached into their naturalhabitat through habitat degradation, frag-mentation and urban expansion.

“Ponds, heaps of building rubble androckeries in and around gardens and homescreate micro environments, which will in-evitably attract snakes,” MacLeod warns.

He reminds residents that snakes “are at-tracted to neglected areas where there is notmuch disturbance, as snakes hate confron-tation”.

“There is no real way of keeping snakesoff your property, but if you keep your grasscut short, trees well trimmed and clean upall rubble, just to mention a few, then thereis less likelihood for snakes to reside onyour property. In short – keep your gardentidy,” he says.

“Leave snakes alone – and it will leaveyou alone. Most bites occur when people at-tempt to kill snakes,” he says.V If a snake is encountered, contact MacLeod on082 532 5033 for advice or for emergencies pertain­ing snakes.

CT schools almostfull, enrol nowCape Town schools are almost full and the

Western Cape Education Department ur-ges parents to enrol children as soon as pos-sible.

“To date, schools in the Western Cape haveprocessed 128 545 applications for placementfor the 2016 school year. So far, 118 429learners have been placed,” said educationminister Debbie Schäfer in a statement tothe media last week.

“Parents were encouraged to apply toschools by 30 June, and those who now stillneed spaces at schools need to urgently ap-proach their nearest schools or the closestdistrict office to find out which schools stillhave spaces available,” she said.

“We cannot guarantee places in schools ofchoice, but will do our utmost to place chil-dren appropriately. It is crucial that parentswho have failed to enrol their child for the2016 school year to do so urgently and beforethe end of the third term to ensure that they

secure a place for their child.”Schäfer says there are currently 3 470

learners who have been accepted at morethan one school.

“Some 2 257 of these learners are Grade 8learners who have not confirmed if they aretaking up their places,” she says.

“Moreover, we expect that learners willcontinue to migrate to the Western Capefrom other provinces in search of a better ed-ucation and access to opportunities. Eachyear we plan as best we can for the influxof additional learners from other provinces.The inward migration into the WesternCape has huge financial and planning impli-cations, impacting on the provisioning of ed-ucation resources and the overall manage-ment of the system,” she says.

“We have to prioritise according to thegreatest need across the whole province, andavailable budget. Our current budget is un-der considerable pressure.”

The fight against malnutrition in chil-dren has come to Cape Town with a newworld-class therapeutic food productionfacility opening in the area.

The facility is a joint venture betweenSouth African shareholders and Norwe-gian-based GC Rieber Compact and willmake and distribute a ready-to-use ther-apeutic food product called eeZeePaste,specifically designed for extremely mal-nourished children between the ages ofsix and 24 months.

The development of therapeutic foodproducts such as eeZeePaste has revolu-tionised the treatment of severe malnu-trition as it allows infants and childrento be safely treated at home.

UNICEF data estimates that more than34 million children under the age of fiveworldwide suffer from acute malnutri-tion, while an additional 17 million chil-dren suffer from its most extreme form,severe acute malnutrition, and requirespecialised therapeutic feeding care inthe form of preparations such as eeZee-Paste.

These ready-to-use products are de-

signed to be consumed directly from thesachet without any preparation, andtherefore avoid accidental contamina-tion from unsafe water sources.

The product also has a 24-month shelflife and is easily transportable, makingit an ideal response to malnutrition in re-mote or difficult to access areas.

The new facility has also reinforcedCape Town’s position as a world-classfood-processing destination, says Sal-man Kajie, head of investment promo-tion at Wesgro, the province’s officialdestination marketing, investment andtrade promotion agency.

“The agribusiness value chain is par-ticularly well-established in the WesternCape, and this makes it very appealingto investors in the agri-processing andbiotechnology sectors,” he says.

GC Rieber Compact is the onlyUNICEF accredited producer in SouthAfrica and one of only 13 in the world.

V The new facility has already created 21 jobs andthis number is expected to increase in the nearfuture.

Parking bays across the City were hi-jacked on Friday, as Capetonians cele-

brated PARK(ing) Day.The event is part of an annual open-

source global event where citizens, artistsand activists collaborate to temporarilytransform metered parking spaces into tem-porary public places, or ‘parklets’, explainsOpen Streets’ Marcela Guerrero Casas.

Open Streets is one of the organisationsinvolved in the event, and is mobilising oth-ers to join the initiative and transform aparking bay for the day.

“We are encouraging people to get in-volved and share their ideas through a Fa-cebook event and created an outdoor officewith some games in front of our office inHarrington Street,” she says.

The global event began in 2005 when a San

Francisco art and design studio converteda single metered parking space into a tem-porary public park in San Francisco.

The mission of the local PARK(ing) Dayis to call attention to the need for more ur-ban open space, to generate critical debatearound how public space is created and allo-cated, and to improve the quality of the ur-ban human habitat.

Guerrero Casas says the initiative shouldhowever go further than just one day.

“In Cape Town we could never buildenough parking bays to satisfy the seeming-ly insatiable need for more parking spaces.The solution lies in a new long-term ap-proach to mobility and how the city centreis maximised for all users. After all, only aminority private cars as their main form oftransport in the city.

“PARK(ing) Day provides us all with anopportunity to really see how we can usepublic space differently,” she says.

A little less ocean rubbishCapetonians pulled up their sleeves and

slipped on some gloves in an effort to re-duce refuse in our seas.

International Coastal Cleanup Day tookplace on Saturday, and is an internationalevent which started in 1986 and has sincegrown into a global initiative.

Volunteers are issued with data cards andeach item collected is recorded on thesecards. After this worldwide event, global da-ta on the waste in our oceans is collated.

Last year 560 000 volunteers in 91 coun-tries picked up more than 7,2 million kilo-

grams of trash during the event. South Afri-ca had 3 208 participants who contributedmore than 11 000 kilograms of trash to thesestatisticsGlobally, the number one item found was

cigarette butts – more than 2,2 million.Enough bottle caps to cover seven tennis

courts were collected.The weight of the plastic shopping bags

collected equals that of three manatees.Some of the strange things picked up in-

clude bowling balls, a lawnmower and awheelbarrow.

Our oceans have become the garbagedump for humans, Two Oceans Aquariumspokesperson Renée Leeuwner.

“It is easy to think that our actions on landdo not affect the oceans, but the exact oppo-site is true. According to Ocean Conservan-cy, between 5 and 12million tonnes of plasticenter the ocean annually due to land-basedactivities.”Not only is marine litter unsightly, but it

also poses a danger tomarine life, Leeuwnerexplains.

“During our rehabilitation work with en-

dangered sea turtles we have found plasticpieces, bits of balloons and pieces of plasticbags in the gastro-intestinal tracts, bladdersand body cavities of hatchlings, sub-adultsand adults,” said Leeuwner.A new study led by researchers from Aus-

tralia’s Commonwealth Scientific and In-dustrialResearchOrganizationhas recentlyfound that nine out of ten sea birds have in-gested plastic.The study has also predicted that within

the next 35 years, 99% of all seabirds will bevictim to plastic ingestion.

Feed the cause, not the beggarsThe City of Cape Town’s social developmentand early childhood development director-ate took its Give Responsibly campaign tothe streets last Friday.

Councillors and officials from the direct-orate were stationed at 17 intersections inDurbanville,Bellville,Goodwood,KuilsRiv-er, Parow, Athlone, Mitchell’s Plain, Ottery,Diep River, Grassy Park, Somerset West,Strand, Gordon’s Bay, Wynberg, Lans-downe, Table View and the Cape Town CBD,armed with posters highlighting the impor-tance of not giving hand-outs to street peo-

ple.Some of the slogans used to drive the

message home included: “Hand-outs arenot generous, they are harmful”; “By giv-inghand-outs, you are perpetuating a cycleof poverty”; “Your money is supporting adrug dealer”; “Change is about more thana few coins”; and “Begging handicaps myfuture”.

“We opted for this activation to createawareness about the fact that street cornerhand-outs are doing little else other thanperpetuating the cycle of dependence andkeeping people on the streets,” said SuzetteLittle, the City’s mayco member for socialdevelopment and early childhood develop-ment.

“The public has a shared responsibilityfor thewell-being of street people.Wemustunderstand that there is a very goodchance that the R2 or R5 handed over at theintersection is feeding a habit instead ofthe individual.

“So let’s change tack and move awayfrom the instant gratification that a mone-tary donation provides. My appeal to thepublic is to find out where their nearestshelter or organisation working withstreet people is, and liaise with them abouthow to make a real difference, whether itbe donating clothes or other goods, or evenvolunteering,” Little said.The City introduced its Give Responsi-

bly campaign in 2010, aimed at encourag-ing the public to support the homeless bymaking donations to registered organisa-tions instead of individuals, thus breakingthe cycle of dependence that keeps them onthe street.In addition, the City has formulated a

street people policy and implemented anumber of interventions as part of itsstreet people programme. The budget for

this programme has grown from R4,5 mil-lion in 2013/14, to R7,8 million in 2014/15, toR9,7 million in 2015/16 – an increase of morethan 100%.

“The City has made great strides in its ef-forts to tackle homelessness. Our fieldwork-ers engage with street people on a daily ba-sis, offering them access to a range of servi-ces including returning home if possible.“On the otherhand,wehave structures set

up within communities to prevent othersfrom migrating to the streets. However,we’ve seen that many street people refuse

our offers of assistance and I’m not sur-prised.“Why leave the streets when do-gooders

dish out donations for very little in return?If we are ever going to make a real dent inreducing the number of people living on ourstreets and offer them a better life, we needtomove away from the culture of indiscrimi-nate giving. Give a hand up rather than ahand-out,” Little said.V The City encourages members of the public to con­tact its toll­free number on 0800 872 201 for moreinformation on how they can give responsibly.

Councillors Phindile Maxiti (background), chairperson of the City’s homeless agency committee,and Philisa Marman participated in a Give Responsibly awareness drive in Cape Town lastFriday.

NGOs and NPOs are hoping to work inpartnership to upgrade informal settle-

ments across the country after the IsandlaInstitute recently held their nationalroundtable.There are approximately 2 700 informal

settlements in the country, which trans-lates to around 11% of South Africans liv-ing in them.According to Mirjam van Donk, director

at Isandla Institute, “spatial injustice” haslimited residents to land, shelter and basicservices.

The roundtable was attended by local,provincial and national government, civilsociety and the private sector.“We want to promote a participatory ap-

proach towards informal settlement up-grading,” said Van Donk.

Bonginkosi Madikizela, Western CapeMEC for human settlements, said that up-grading informal settlements was his toppriority, given that the government couldnever completely rid itself of the housingbacklog. Currently the backlog stands ataround 2,3 million households that arewaiting for free government housing.

“Even though we are a leading provincein providing access to basic services, thereis much work that remains to be done.What is on paper versus the reality on theground, are two different things.

“Just because an informal settlement hasaccess to ablution facilities doesn’t meantheyareof decent quality.One toilet for fivefamilies means that 20 people are all usingthe same toilet,” said Madikizela.

“So many officials are only interested inobtaining clean audits that they go for low-hanging fruit in order to achieve theirgoals.We are spending all themoney in ourbudget, but on the wrong things,” he said.

Rather than tackling the easy problems,he said his department was focusing onthree pressing challenges: upgrading in-formal settlements, accelerating the provi-sion of formal houses, and prioritising de-serving candidates on the provincial hous-ing waiting list.“There are 119 informal settlements that

have been in the Western Cape for morethan 20 years, and it’s time that we workto improve the quality of people’s lives inthese areas.”

Madikizela praised the work of NGOswhooftenact asmediatorsbetween thegov-ernment and communities.Melanie Manuel of the Informal Settle-

ment Network said that residents’ mindsetregarding upgrading needed to change.

“When we talk about upgrading, peoplesay they’re not interested because they arewaiting for their free houses. But we say tothem, ‘While youwait, let’s change your re-ality now’.”

Van Donk said in order to collaboratemore effectively, Isandla Institute has part-nered with other Cape Town-based NGOsto form a “community of practice” to pro-mote participatory informal settlement up-grading through knowledge sharing, col-laboration and experimentation.Manuel said that when approaching a

community about upgrading, it was impor-tant to “go with a blank page and a willing-ness to collaborate”, rather than a set agen-da. She emphasised the need for a “politicalchampion” within the city council to ena-ble the upgrading to take place.

During the discussions, variousWesternCape case studies were referred to as goodexamples of informal settlement upgrades.

In concluding the roundtable, Van Donkencouraged role players to work together,be bold in their actions and make “respon-sible” mistakes in driving the process oftransforming the urban landscape. “In-formal settlement upgrading is a parallelprocess that improves the physical envi-ronment while also paying attention to therole of urban residents in determiningtheir own lives,” she said.

The clash of the choirsTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

It was a buzz of activity blended with good melodiesas three schools participated in an episode of Sing inHarmonie, a program of KyknetNou on DStv at Ken-mere Primary School in Kensington last week Thurs-day.Sing inHarmonie is an initiative ofAnthonieBougas,

and Kyknet. School choirs are given a platform wherethey can compete on national television and in thiswayexpose them to the broader communities of South Afri-ca as well as to promote their choirs.This competition is part of a series of competitions

where schools in the Cape as far as Hartenbos and Cal-vinia come together to compete.The participating schools were Alpha Primary from

Durbanville, Windermere Primary School Choir andKenmerePrimary School Choir, both fromKensington.In each episode a winner is chosen by the panel of

adjudicators, who then filters through to the finals tobe held late November, early December. This sing offwashappening inKensington for thevery first timeandall the choirs felt honoured to be part of such a competi-tion.The panel consisted of very competent choral experts

like Hannelie van Zitter from Magaliesberg Children’sChoir, Hennie Loock from Tygerberg Children’s Choirtogether with Phillip Kotze and André Serfontein.Lizl Gaffley, conductor at Kenmere Choir dazzled the

adjudicators with their harmonious choral singing.Loock said that the choir sang from within their souls.“The music comes from within and it was evident inthe passionate way in which they managed to capturethe adjudicators,” she said.Van Zittert added that she had goosebumps from the

moments they sang their first note right up until thelast. “The schools really showed what quality choral

singing comes from this area. Not only are the choris-ters passionate about singing, they also displayed agood knowledge of the important aspects of choralesinging,” she said.The adjudicators complimented both Kensington

schools for singing from the heart and implementinggood techniques.Although her choir is only seven months, old Linda

Africa conductor of Windermere’s choir, managed tocreate a sweetmelodic soundwith controlled dynamicsand beautiful Legato lines. Besides them being an up-coming choir they can proudly stand out as one of thebest in the area.After all the activities of the day were done the best

choir had to be selected and Kenmere primary schooltook the top spot. They will be competing in the finalsof Sing in Harmonie.André Johannesse, principal at Kenmere Primary,

says he is indeed proud of his pupils who display somuch dedication. “Hard work certainly pays off. Iwould like to congratulate the choir members for theirachievement on attending rehearsals regularly afterschool, during intervals, during school holidays and onSaturdays . It has indeed paid off for them,” said Johan-nesse.Gaffley said it might not be the easiest job to be able

to make 57 choristers sing in tune, but this is whereshe wants to be. “It’s not an easy job but it is indeedan honour and a privilege to be able to create marvel-lous, melodious sounds from such youngsters. This ismy passion, my life. This is where I want to be, makinggood music to the benefit of many young souls who gothrough my hands. I thank the Lord for blessing mewith such an amazing talent which I can share withmany,” she said.To watch these choirs battle it out in the finals tune

Kenmere Primary School took the top spot and they will take part in the finals of Sing in Harmonie that will be heldon 13 November.

Hopeful entrepreneurs grilledTIYESE JERANJI

Pitch & Polish, now in its sixth year, kicked off witha successful event last week Saturday in Woodstock.Over 200 entrepreneurs who are hungry for change

and eager to take their businesses to another level,showed up to build and polish their business pitches.The crowdwas participative and encouraging through-out the day as they helped the entrepreneurs by askingconstructive questions.The contestants gave their first 30-second pitch and

the delegates, primed to role-play as investors, askedmeaningful questions, helping the entrepreneursdevel-op their pitches. This accelerated method of learningaffords all attendants the chance to learn, whilst polish-ing their ownbusiness pitch.Avideomontage frompre-vious events set the scene to prepare the delegates forwhat they could expect: a highly interactive learningexperience. The workshop systematically went

through eight carefully laid out questions which, whencompleted, helped provide each person with their ownwell-rounded and clearly defined pitch.The second set of 30-second pitches saw a vast im-

provement in both the succinctness and selection of in-formation included, which showed the contestants’drive andwillingness to grow as they seized this oppor-tunity.After their final pitches, Sande Yagraya from the Na-

tional Youth Development Agency (NYDA), AvineshPillai from Engen Petroleum Ltd. and Vuyisa Qabakafrom Inye Business Consulting asked the five entrepre-neurs clarifying questions and gave valuable feedback.Stephen Reid, business coach, public speaker and

specialist in entrepreneurship development, presentedhis journey of successes and failures.Reid facilitated theworkshopandcompetitionaswell

as giving guidance to the delegates throughout the day.He also shared tips for entrepreneurs to increase profit-ability of raising finance.

Indigenous gamesteam hopes to shineEARL HAUPT

@EarlHaupt

The Western Cape indigenous sports teamwas honoured in a capping ceremony atShalimar Gardens Hotel on Friday night.The ceremony, hosted by the minister of

cultural affairs and sport, Anroux Marais,awarded the team provincial colours to rep-resent the Western Cape at the National In-digenous Games Festival in Tshwane thisweek.Indigenous games are linked to the tradi-

tions of a cultural group, being of a local ori-gin and requiring physical skill, strategyand/or chance. Culture is not static: indige-nous people continually added to their owncultural, material and physical heritage.Through reliving and reinventing thegames of their forefathers and mothers,adding and creating their own games alongthe way, these games have become a partof daily living.Despite Africa’s rich history of indige-

nous games, a number of the games have be-come extinct without having been docu-

mented in historical and anthropologicalaccounts of the indigenous people of Africa.However, the indigenous games that still

exist, have since been included in the prior-ity sporting codes in the country. A specialfocus has been given to these games as oneof the avenues for mass participation.These games are now organised into nine

different sporting codes and the WesternCape is one of the provinces competing atthe national festival.No less than 140 participants will repre-

sent Team Western Cape to compete in allnine codes, namely: Dibeke, Diketo, DrieStokkies, Iintonga, Jukskei, Kgati, Kho-kho, Morabaraba and NcuvaMarais wished the team well and encour-

aged them to bring home gold. “Our historyneed not be lost as older generations passon. Team Western Cape has been selectedfrom the best indigenous games playersavailable. It is now their duty to keep thesegames alive in our communities so that fu-ture generations can celebrate ourheritage.By excelling in these games, these playerswill revive and popularise our heritage.”

The Western Cape indigenous sports team was given a special send-off in Athlone on Fridaynight.

Oudejans to talkjhis way out againLOUISA STEYL

@LouNotes

Comedy magician Marcel Oudejans is notjust an entertainer. He sees himself as

more of a “fun facilitator.”The Pinelands resident will be doing a

rare public show in Cape Town when hepresents Sleight of Mouth 2: Now talk yourway out of this! as part of the Cape TownFringe Festival from Thursday.The show is a sequel to Sleight of Mouth

– The art of talking your way out of anything,which he performed at last year’s FringeFestival. The showwas incidentally also hislast public show in Cape Town. This yearthough, Marcel has a whole lot of new tricksup his sleeve.The new show features new magic, deliv-

ered inMarcel’s trademarkwitty “stand-up”style. There’s also more story telling withanecdotes about his travels and experiencesas a magician.Performing magic for people who aren’t

expecting it, usually produces interestingresults. On one occasion, for example, hestopped for lunch on his way to a show anddecided to brighten someone’s day with amagic trick. “The woman freaked out be-cause she had no one around to corroboratethat it had actually happened.”One could almost sayMarcel’s comedy ca-

reer startedwith people whoweren’t expect-ing it. When other children were waiting ta-bles, Marcel, who had already started doingshows at the Bellville Library over schoolholidays, was performing in restaurants fortips.Today, Marcel is one of the country’s lead-

ing performers. In 2008 hewas recognised asone of Africa’s leading magicians at the Vis-mayan International Magic Conventionheld in India.Most of his work is for corporate events,

where he acts as emcee or more recently,teaches people about the importance of“play” in the workplace, or as he puts it “totake play seriously”.Marcel explains that learning to have fun

or embracing cultural arts, gives people ameans to express themselves, somethingwhich is essential to understanding otherpeople and having empathy.He works with businesses to help them

“create wow in customer service”, usingmagic to prove his point.Customer service is something Marcel

takes seriously and it’s important to himthat his audiences feel like they are getting

a genuine, sincere performance.This is where his improvisation skills

come in handy, giving him the ability toadapt to his audience and make his showsmore interactive.Although there’s a light narrative run-

ning through Sleight of Mouth 2: Now talkyour way out of this!, Marcel doesn’t like theidea of a magic show that’s too scripted.“Youwant tomake theaudience feel like thisis happening for the first time.”His performance at the Fringe Festival is

an opportunity to see another side of his ex-tensive repertoire and escape reality for anhour.Marcel says the festival itself is a chance

to see a wide variety of productions, fromtheatre pieces to magic, in one place and ur-gesCapetonians tobuy tickets early and sup-port the local performers on stage this year.V Sleight of Mouth 2: Now talk your way out of this!will be on stage at Cape Town City Hall Theatre 3 at19:30 on Thursday 24, Saturday 25, Tuesday 29 Sep­tember and Friday 2 October. Shows will also run at17:30 on Saturday 26 and Monday 28 September, at15:00 on Sunday 27 September and at 13:05 on Thurs­day 1 October. Marcel will also be performing at theAlexander Bar at 13:05 on Tuesday 29 September.Tickets cost R70 or R63 (concessions) at the door orfrom www.capetownfringe.co.za.

Marcel Oudejans brings his latest show to theCape Town Fringe Festival this week.

Choir festival bringscultures togetherAs South Africa celebrated its heritage thismonth, choirs from around the WesternCape are preparing to celebrate the coun-try’s diversity.Hosted by theWestern Cape ChoralMusic

Association (WeCCMA), in association withArtscape, the Indigenous Choral Festival isa celebration of the many faces and storiesof South Africa. The event takes place at theArtscape Theatre on Sunday 27 Septemberfrom 14:00.Now in its third year, the festival invites

local choirs to represent indigenous cul-tures through song on stage.WeCCMA’s Lungile Jacobs says it is the

highlight of the Western Cape choral calen-dar.“The eisteddfod is known throughout the

province as the WECCMA event not to bemissed,” he says: “It is the culmination ofa number of events we’ve had throughoutthe yearwhich included a gender based com-petition, a developmental soloist competi-tion, conductor’s workshops and orchestralconducting workshop.”Jacobs points out the festival is a great op-

portunity to teachyoungpeople about differ-ent cultures and build the spirit of ubuntu.This year’s festival will feature perform-

ances by thePrincess SquareSingers, JoyfulHarmonies, the UWC Creative Arts Choir,the CPUT choir, Ntirisano Arts Academy,the UCTChoir for Africa, The Chorus,West-ern Classical Voices, New Voices Of theCape, the Transnet engineering Choir, theSimon Estes Alumni Choir, United ChoralArtists, Western Chorale, Phenomenal Op-era Voices, Heavenly Voices and the SA Na-vy Choir.The festival will be divided into two cate-

gories and theaudiencewill get to choose thewinners. The first half of the competitionwill see the choirs perform a cultural indige-nous piece, before they come back to sing Iz-itibili (action songs) or folklore pieces witha band in the second half of the show.“This is a day of embracing our individu-

ality and uplifting our cultural heritage asa choral society,” Jacobs says.V Tickets for the festival cost R50 and are availablefrom Computicket. Visit www.artscape.co.za for moreinformation.

The Chorus, made up of members from across the peninsula, are one of the choirs participat-ing in this year’s Indigenous Choral Festival.

The Drawing Room gallery in Observato-ry is hosting a new exhibition of paint-ings by Cape Town born and raised illus-trator Frank Lunar.

Project Eden is Lunar’s second solo ex-hibition and consists of five large scaleportraits of imaginary thought provok-ing characters.The five pillars of Project Eden were

given no names, only numbers – “pillar#1” to “pillar #5”. You will have to figureout yourself. The colours pallet ranges be-tween white, black and red. This choiceleaves the paintings with plenty of pink,a brilliant aesthetic packaging for thecontent delivered.“The pillars are the guards of Project

Eden. I’m trying to paint a picture of theworld that I observe. We are the fictionof yesterday. This is what is happeningright now – fake beauty that comes at acost.”“If you give up your freedom – you can

have everything else.”When he is asked about the purpose of

the exhibition, Lunar tells he wants peo-ple to feel intrigue. He wants to make theaudience “try to figure out the meaningbehind the pillars”. “People will recog-nize images, and will start asking whythey are there”.In the five portraits Frank re-contextu-

alizes popular visual symbols – snakes, amicrophone, a pig, fancy chair, fryingpan, USB stick, sexy thighs. He wants tohave frank conversations, and he makesit ever more appealing.Lunar has beenworking on this project

for more than two years. Checking con-

cepts, exploring different directions, re-searching, reading, talking, listening,drawing, living, observing. It ended up asanexhibition just around the corner fromhis home. Here, in the “Obs” that he callshome for thepast three years, he occupiesa public space, and turns The DrawingRoom into an extension of his own bed-room, his studio, himself; with a freshfeel of his freedom.V The Drawing Room is situated at 87 Station Roadand is open Mondays to Fridays from 08:00 to17:00 and on Saturdays from 09:00 to 17:00. Theexhibition runs until Tuesday 13 October.

With the turn of the weather, more people are coming outof the winter slump in celebration of just about every-thing.September is not only the month we celebrate Heritage

Day, but also the month we celebrate many days andweeks in recognition of health and well-being.The month plays host to awareness of Albinism, Bone

Marrow Stem Cell Donation and Leukaemia, CervicalCancer, Childhood Cancer, Eye Care, Muscular Dystro-phy and Oral Health. It is also National Heart AwarenessMonth and the National Month of Deaf People.While Headache and Migraine, Pharmacy, Kidney and

Back Awareness celebrate weeks, some conditions, suchas Foetal Alcohol Syndrome, International Gynaecologi-cal Health, World Suicide Prevention, National OralHealth and National Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Dis-order (ADHD) also have special days dedicated to them.The question we should be asking ourselves is “is it

enough to only pay attention to our bodies once a year?”The awareness programmes do their job – bringing rec-

ognition to these sometimes overlooked disorders and ill-nesses. It forces some people to take tests and pay a littlemore attention to their health, or to donate to a worthycause. But is enough being done to leave a lasting impres-sion on us?What will it take to get us to sit up and listen?Will we only act when it affects us?Reality is that we should be looking after our oral

health, our hearts, our eyes and our bodies in general.Many serious ailments can be cured if caught early and

inmost cases prevention is key. Is it not thenworthknow-ing that everything is running in tip top shape?Experts recommend a visit to your doctor at least once

a year, but most people just don’t bother.In the end, health officials will talk and promote taking

care of yourself, but taking action is up to you.

Women’s important roleOne must recognise the role and thevalue added by civil society organisa-tions to bring about a change in ourcommunities. I would like to highlight,that the role of women cannot be underestimated or undervalued in civil societythese days. The value added by women,especially women in leadership in oursociety, is vital to any community inaddressing social challenges. I think thatin many organisations, it’s women whoare instrumental in leading towardschanging organisations who are strug-gling to achieve its development objec-tives. I have seen over the years in ourcommunities, especially on the CapeFlats, it’s the women who attend com-munity meetings, it’s women who attendschool meetings these days. Believe it ornot it is the women who are leadingchange and in reality it’s the womanwho leads the fight against crime. Checkthe number of women in our neighbour-hood watches, our CPF police structuresserving the community, even in ourchurches, faith groups; it’s women

leading for change, and one wonderswhat happened to the men.I wrote to some women in our commu-

nity who are already in leadership rolesat their various community organisa-tions, appealing and urging asking themto consider playing an active role insport development.I don’t have to remind the sports

leaders that the current role of womenin politics, and in other sports wheretheir experience add value and wheretheir presence change the landscapeseven in our current and young democra-cy. Whether we like it or not women aremaking a vast difference on the politicalscene, so much so there’s a call for thepresident of South Africa to be a wom-an. Women are making their voicesheard on all fronts adding value to abetter society, a better South Africa. Incommunities and on grassroots level, thepresence of women in sports help withthe self-confidence of men and childrenin sport. Ask any youth manager on aSaturday morning about the voices and

cries of women, mostly “mommies”along the touchlines cheering theirchildren on. Every touch is cheered andevery run is motivated to the very end.This is the kind of self-motivation andconfidence which women bring to thesport.Women are our most dominant social

activist in our communities as well asour churches. They are the leaders whenit comes to self-empowerment opportuni-ties. Their ability to lead and theirability to govern our locally basedstructures should be noted.We should be open for partnership on

all level of leadership structures. Weneed to involve men and women jointlyworking together chairing our communi-ty structures, this will enhance ourmodel leadership.I would like to appeal to all women

who are able and trust in their ability togo out there in your communities andlead for change.

Don’t turn blind eye to needyI feel so sad when people say “Please,not in my nice neighbourhood. Movethese homeless people!”I feel so sad when people who have

had all the privileges of a good educa-tion, as well as the opportunity for workand can therefore pay taxes, feel thatthey have rights that others don’t have.I feel so sad that in a country where

seventy nine percent of the populationclaims to be Christian, we don’t followJesus’ teaching to care for the thirstyand hungry, or the stranger, for thesick, the poor and vulnerable in oursociety. (Matthew 25: 35 – 40)I feel so sad because the biblical story

of Ruth shows how we should reach outto the vulnerable in our society bygiving a hand up rather than a hand-out.As a society we can make a difference

by working with organisations already

working with the homeless.U-turn is one such organisation

working in the Wynberg, Kenilworth,and Claremont areas.Rather than handing out small change

to those begging on the streets or tothose who come to our homes, weencourage people to give one of theU-turn vouchers. A voucher allows themto get a meal or some secondhandclothing at The Powerhouse, which isjust behind Stadium on Main in Clare-mont. U-turn also runs clothing stores,where good quality clothes can bepurchased by the public. By purchasingclothes in these stores, you help financethe work, as well as create trainingopportunities for those who want tomove off the streets and get back intothe workplace.

A flight-footed teenager is onhis way to success after he

received his provincial coloursin soccer.Erwin Hansen, a 14-year-old

from Freedom Park informalsettlement, says this is one stepcloser to playing internationalfootball when he grows older.“I am very happy with this

achievement. I know that it willtake me further in my sportingcareer,” Hansen says.The striker shares his dreams

to play for Ajax Cape Town lo-cally and eventually ending upplaying for Real Madrid oneday.“They aremy favourite teams

and thatwould be a dream cometrue to play for them one day. Iknow that I can make it hap-pen,” Hansen says.His proud father, Richard

Hansen, says Erwin’s dreamhas always been to play soccer.“He struggled a bitwith learn-

ing and when I asked him whathe wanted to be when he growsup, he told me he just wanted toplay soccer. He said he didn’twant to do anything else but fo-cus on his sport.“ I have supported him in this

decision and so far he is usinghis God-given talent,” saysRichard.Erwin has been playing for

theLansdowneFootball club forthe past five months and duringhis first season playing profes-sionally, he has scored all of 23goals.Erwin currently plays for the

u.14 and u.17 teams at the Lans-downe Football Club and has al-ready become a player to watch.His u.14 coachJPMetcalf says

Erwin is a “brilliant player andcompliments the team nicely”.“From here on out he will

lookat playing for theu.15 team,but the plan is to have him qual-ify for the super league nextyear andknockout finals duringnext week.We are very proud ofhim,” says Metcalf.

Erwin Hansen is content when playing on the field. He received hisprovincial colours for soccer two weeks ago. PHOTOS: CHEVON BOOYSEN

CONSTANTIA PRIME EXCLUSIVE MULTI-LEVEL HOME ON 4400M2

The explosive growth of moun-tain biking as a school sportwas once again highlighted

this weekend during the WesternCape finals of the Spur SchoolsMountain Bike League.

Showing an impressive increasein both participating schools andriders, more than 1000 riders repre-senting 60 schools battled it outthis season for the top spot on thelog and a place in the upcoming na-tional championships.

Stellenbosch-based Paul RoosGymnasium has once again showntheir supremacy by staying unde-feated at the top of the men’s logsince the inception of the league in2009 with 1 422 points, which alsosecured them overall second posi-tion. Parel Vallei from SomersetWest won the mixed team categorylogging an impressive 1 841 points,followed by Bellville’s DF Malan insecond place with 1 132 points.Mountainbiking has also in-creased its traction in the BreedeRiver area with Montana HighSchool from Worcester finishingthird with 1 086 points and Drostdyqualifying for the finals for thefirst time.

In addition the individual cate-gory winners also qualify for a spotin the finals. They include juniorboys champion, Daniel van derWalt of Fairmont High School; Alli-

son Morton of Westerford HighSchool who was undefeated in theyouth women category and teammate Courteney Webb who fin-ished top of the log in the juniorwomen category.

League organiser MeurantBotha of Amarider said that the or-ganic growth of the league hasproven that mountain biking car-ries huge appeal amongst youngercycling enthusiasts.

“It is an extremely encouragingsign for mountain biking as a sportdiscipline to see the enthusiasmwith which the South Africanyouth have embraced this exhila-rating sport. It is also promising tonote the significant increase in fe-male riders. Although primaryschools cannot yet qualify for theleague finals, it augers well for thesport that even our younger popu-lation segment are taking to thetracks,” said Botha.

The commitment from topranked schools such as Parel Val-lei, Paul Roos and DF Malan is agood indication that mountain bik-ing is on the fast track to becomingan officially recognised schoolssport discipline.

In order to make the league evenmore accessible to riders, the sen-ior (high school) categories weremoved to later time slots allowingfor those that participate in main-

stream school sports to fulfil theirschool commitments.

According to Botha, another ma-jor development since the incep-tion on the league is the shift to rac-ing on school grounds. “Develop-ing these tracks at schools not onlybrings the racing to the kids, butmore importantly places the sportright in the middle of the tradition-al and mainstream field and courtsports. This gives mountain bikinggreater exposure, relevance andcredibility.

The league will culminate withthe Spur Schools Mountain BikeLeague National Finals in October,when MTB fans from across Sub-Saharan Africa, including SouthAfrica and neighbours Zimbabweand Namibia will congregate atBekker School in Magaliesberg tocompete as schools as well as prov-inces for the coveted Spur SchoolsMTB League trophy and top spoton the provincial log.V For further information, follow them on@SpurMTBleague, log on to SpurSchool­sLeague on Facebook or visitwww.spurmtbleague.co.za.

Local schools shine at MTB finals

Courtney Webb of Westerford HighSchool finished first in the juniorwomen category in the final seriesof races in the Spur Schools MTBLeague.

In last week’s edition of the People’sPost (15 September), a photo of theu.19A-team of Rustenburg Girls HighSchool at the WP schools netball fi-nals at Bellville High School was pub-lished.

The caption read that they losttheir semi-final against StellenbergHigh School’s u.19B-team, when infact they beat them 22-13. Rustenburgwent on to play in the final, wherethey beat The Settlers High School14-11. People’s Post apologises forpublishing the incorrect informa-tion.

The annual Cape Town marathon tookplace under uncharacteristically mug-gy conditions in Green Point over the

weekend.Local athletes, William Kaptein and Lebo

Dinah Phalula outclassed a quality field towin the men’s and women’s titles in the10 km run/walk on Sunday.While the endurance stars were battling

it out for the 42 km title, the speedstersshowed their class in a highly competitiverace over the shorter distance.Kaptein charged to victory in 28:34, with

Elroy Gelant taking second place in 34:10and Abed Nico Mashaba finishing third in34:20.In the women’s race, Phalula earned a

well-deserved win in 34:12, crossing the line

16 seconds ahead of Mapaseka Makhanya.“The 10 km distance is ideal for younger

athletes who are still building towards themarathon, and it is perfect for amateur run-ners who are not yet ready to tackle the clas-sic distance, so it plays an important role aspart of the Cape Town Marathon,” saidElana Meyer who is an ambassador for therace.“With road running experiencing another

boom in South Africa, we expect the 10 kmdistance to continue to grow in popularityin the years to come.”Meanwhile, in the main event, the 42 km

race, Shadrack Kemboi from Kenya provedto be the strongest athlete on the day, defy-ing weather conditions to notch up a win inthe men’s race.

Despite the dominance shown by the EastAfricans, there was a strong South Afrcancharge as Lungile Gongqa finished secondand Michael Mazibuko finished third.AnotherKenyan, IsabellaOchichi, earned

a superb victory in the women’s race.With humidity at between 70% and 80%,

the East African winners battled somewhat,while theSouthAfricans took full advantageof the overcast weather, putting in an excel-lent performance behind their internationalcounterparts.Kemboi crossed the finish line in 2:11:41,

with Gongqa taking second place in 2:11:59andMazibuko grabbing the final spot on themen’s podium in 2:12:29.Ochichi romped to victory in the women’s

division in 2:30:20, while Eunice Chumba

from Bahrain finished second in 2:33:12 andKenya’s Joan Rotich third in a time of2:37:45.“I always wanted amarathon victory, and

I believe that it would come inHonolulu, Ha-waii in 2014, but I got it today on my homecontinent – Africa – and I couldn’t be happi-er,” said Ochichi.The 42 km race boasted a large field of

5 728 participants in only its second year, inwhich it is aiming to achieve the IAAF’s cov-eted Gold Label status. A total of 4.5% of en-trieswere fromoutside of SouthAfrica,with51 countries represented at the race. Sixty-two entrants came from the USA, 21 fromGermany, 20 from theUK, followed by small-er numbers from Sweden, Kenya, Canada,Ethiopia, Namibia, Zambia and Japan.
