Woodstock residents cleaned a corner field that has been used for dumping.

WOODSTOCK

Clean field goes greenTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

Woodstock residents teamed up tomake sure that a plot that had be-come a home to all sorts of rubbish

and vagrants was thoroughly cleaned on Sat-urday last week.

The field at the corner of Victoria Walkand Earl Street was an unpleasant sight. Oneof the residents, Kallen Wentzel, says eachtime she peeped out her window her heartsank, as the plot had a lot of potential butpeople misused it.

All sorts of rubbish was found there – evenhuman excrement. The smell was unbear-able.

In an urge for a clean environment shepaid two people to clean it up. But to her dis-appointment, the next day someone haddumped rubbish again.

“It broke my heart because the people thatcleaned the plot worked extremely hard andthey did an amazing job. It bothered me a lotbut I couldn’t keep paying people from mypocket to make sure that the area is clean.No-one looks after it and kids walk past itevery day, which is not healthy. I couldn’twatch and do nothing. I knew somethinggood had to come out of that plot, no matterhow bad it looked at that moment,” she says.

That’s when the brilliant idea of a clean-upcame to her. She organised people fromWoodstock to clean it and turn it into a gar-den so that no-one will dump there again.

As part of their celebration of World Envi-ronment Day, marked on 5 June annually,they worked tirelessly through the day togive the plot a new look.

When the garden is ready they are hopingthat it will benefit the greater communityand an orphanage called Al Noor centreright next to the plot.

One of the cleaners, Arne Claassen, saysit went well.

“It wasn’t an easy job as we picked up allthe dirty, nasty stuff from needles and con-doms, but at the end of the day it was allworth it. We have also introduced a conceptof putting in a pipe to feed the worms. Thiswill rehabilitate the soil and make it readyfor planting. This is only the start – we willgo further in making sure that it is well-maintained,” says Claassen.

‘Just like any other person’TIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

Includid is doing all it can tomake sure thatpeople living with intellectual disabilities

lead a normal life, just like everybody else.Intellectual disability is a disability char-

acterised by significant limitations in bothintellectual functioning and in adaptive be-haviour, which covers many everyday so-cial and practical skills.Includid, which provides inclusive living

for people living with intellectual disabili-ties, has been operating for the past 18 yearswith eight homes on the grounds of Alexan-der hospital and one home in Maitland.The aim of this organisation is to make

sure that people with intellectual disabili-ties also feel part of the society and not tobe excluded because they have a disability.Differentkinds of activities are runby this

organisation to make sure that the partici-pants are fully dependent on themselves.They have different skills programmes, likesewing, gardening, paper making and a lav-ender room. In paper making, for instance,participants make different things likebookmarks and cards which are sold. Theyalso sell lavender.For those who want to go the extra mile

to keep busy and to earn a few cents the orga-nisation offers work employment training.They then go to work from 08:30 to noon andthose who want to work overtime finish at

15:00. Themoney they earn from this enablesthem to buy personal things, like bicyclesand TVs, and help them budget their incomejust like other people.They clean the homeswhere they stay and

cook for themselves. Once amonth someoneis tasked with the responsibility of doinggroceries for the home. This is all to makethem believe in themselves and realise thatthere is nothing different about them.MazwiNdikolo, acting generalmanager at

Includid, says this is a way to make themlearn and to instil in them the belief thatthere is nothing wrong with them.“These people take public transport like

any other person. They do shopping, cookand clean. We are promoting independency.Though most of them are shy when theymeet otherswewant them to be able to inter-act fully. They must know their rights, sothat they won’t be treated any different, sowe equip them with such skills,” say Ndi-kolo.While the organisation promotes inde-

pendence a participant with a disability isnot sent out alone. There is always someoneto guide and assist.“The person is just there to assist them

and, above all, to support their choices andgive advice here and there so that theymakethe perfect choices. We don’t want them tofeel like they cannot make meaningful deci-sions but some need guidance here andthere,” adds Ndikolo.

The organisation depends on donor fund-ing. The organiser hope to get a place for theorganisation to call its own. They believe if

they could own a place to call home theywould be able to get more people to helpthem out with the things they need.

Fun day keeps kids busySASHIKA PILLAY

Keeping the children off the streets andout of harm’s way was one of the key ob-jectives of a fun day held in Kensingtonon Saturday last week.The Kensington community joined the

event organised byW56Traders’ Associa-tion. It was open to all but focused onkeeping children occupied.The goal of the day was also to feed 100

underprivileged children from the com-munity.Despite the rain and many entertain-

ment cancellations, the organisers saythey are still happy with the success ofthe event. The event had plenty to offer,such as plays, games, dancing, modellingand competitions, including a spellingbee.Children also received a party pack and

popcorn.“Even though there was rain in the

morning, the afternoon was better for en-tertainment,” says Fatima Mohamedfrom the W56 Traders’ Association.Wes-Kaapse Kleurling Ontwikkelings-

organisasie (WKKOO) sponsored a stallon the day. Ricardo van Niekerk, chair-person of its Kensington branch, says the

organisationwill be part ofmore commu-nity events for children.“The non-political organisation is a

platform for the economic upliftment ofour community. The event was very suc-cessful despite the rain and WKKOOsigned up 100 newmembers at the event,”he says.He adds that this was as a result of the

information table at the event.“Wewant to thank theW56Traders’As-

sociation for welcoming us to its eventand we look forward to working withthem towards a better community and todevelop the youth, as they are the futureleaders,” he adds.WKKOO has committed to donating

popcorn at every event of the W56 Trad-ers’ Association.Mohamed believes that the input of all

roleplayersmade thedaya success for thechildren who attended.“Without our sponsors and volunteers

this day would not have been possible soa thank you to all thosewhomade it a suc-cess,” she says.V The Association hosts the fun day at the Freedom Riders Clubhouse every Saturday from 09:00to 16:00. For more information on how to get involved call Fatima Mohamed on 061 959 7328.

Pupils go to school to learn, but in doing sotheymust learn ina safe andconducive envi-ronment.The Education Safety andGovernanceAs-

sociation (ESGA) hosted a breakfast forschools to emphasise the importance of safe-ty at schools at Southern Sun in Newlandson Friday last week.The organisation admits that though it is

difficult to manage safety at schools, teach-ers and those in charge of the pupils mustprepare to protect their schools and makesure that pupils are safe at all times.The aim of the launch was to let educators

know that even though there are challengesin their schools, ESGA is there to help.ESGA gives workshops on how to deal

with different challenges a schoolmight face– be it drugs, gangs or bullying.Other than that they also focus on occupa-

tional health. This is where they train edu-cators on the importance of hygiene aroundthe school, safe buildings, and first aid.JohnBuswell, ESGA’smanaging director,

said schools focus so much on the curricu-lum that they forget the importance of safetyat school.“Though the number one goal is that chil-

dren must learn, they must do so in a safeenvironment. Theworkshopswe offer equipeducators to make sure the pupils are in asafe environment. We want to keep childrensafe. These are the things that they are nottaught at college but they are very impor-tant, so we develop those areas for the safetyof our kids,” he says.It was highlighted that for schools to ig-

nore health and safety issues is not an op-tion.Paul Londal, ESGA’s general manager,

said schools must be a safe place for all.“Schools are easy targets for drug pushers.Safety in schools is a very complex issue butwe must create a safe environment for ev-eryone who goes there. We are here to helpyou put those safetymeasures in place. Safe-ty measures mustn’t be neglected.“It’s a broad issue involving swimming

pools at the school, buildings as well as howto put those pupils in the bus when they aregoing for a trip. We want everyone to be safeand that’s why we are encouraging educa-tors to take part in the works schools.”ESGA are hosting an anti-bullying work-

shop at Groote Schuur High School in Newl-ands and they are inviting other schools totake part in the workshop as it will tackleissues around bullying. Some of the thingsto be discussed will include the definition ofbullying, identification of the 11 types of bul-lying, understanding the impact of bullyingon pupils, symptoms of bullying behaviour,the pupil who is bullied and development ofan anti-social bullying policy.Caradale Primary’s principal Ezra Car-

else, who attended, adds that safety atschools is of paramount importance.“When parents send their children to

school they place them in our care. So it isvery important to make sure that whilstthey are learning they do so in a safe envi-ronment. This can’t be compromised andweare glad that there are people who are will-ing to help us make our schools safe. It’s agood thing and we will also take the ball andrun with it to make sure that our pupils aresafe at all times,” he says.

Schools must be a safe place foreveryone, on all fronts

Kensington came to life as the fourth MsDrag Ambassador beauty pageant was

held at the Kensington civic centre on Sat-urday last week.

Supporters braved the cold to attend thisannual event. They were entertained byperforming artists, including Manila vonTeez, the nationally renowned 3Divas, MsDrag Ambassador 2013 Tasharn Vonarm-berg, Jerome Davidson and DJ Cool J.

The civic centre has staged this pageantsince its inception three years ago due to thefact that the host and founding member ofthe pageant, Logan McGregor, comes fromKensington. McGregor created the pageantto give back to the community, as she wasraised there.

Contestants, who represented differentsuburbs across the broader Cape, vied forthe crown in different kinds of gowns.

The crowd couldn’t stop cheering them onas the top-scoring contestants responded toquestions posed by the panel of judges in thefinal round.

The crowd gave a standing ovation whenreigning queen Liberty Banks, who is alsothe current Ms Gay Western Cape, handedher crown to 2015 winner Laylah Raja Nova-cek.

Novacek also took the Best Dressed title.The first princess was Evon von Diamond

and, in a twist of fate, her sister, Viola vonDiamond, was crowned second princess.

Organiser of the event Bianca Schuttersays the pageant is one of the highlights onthe LGBTI (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgen-der and intersex) calendar and a mainstayof local Kensington community events.

“It was a success and we are really thank-ful to all the supporters for making it hap-pen.

“This gathering signifies the vision of theMs Drag Ambassador South Africa NPO tocreate a platform for drag and female imper-sonation to be recognised on a grand scale,aligning communities and merging our peo-ple into a collective population, ignorant tothe prejudices in this world and blind to thedifferences in personal preferences or choi-ces which are the causes of disharmony inour communities,” says Schutter.

CBD

Rush on propertyNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Investment in the CBD has grown byR1.95bn in just the past three months.This was announced last week by Rob

Kane, chairperson of the Cape Town Cen-tral City Improvement District (CCID), at abusiness breakfast.And even more money is expected to roll

in, as experts hint at a residential propertyboom around the corner.The CCID gives an annual report on the

development and investment in the CBD.In compiling this year’s report, the team

foundR1.46bnworth of developmentwas onthe cards during the year period.Since the release of that report, a R70m

upgrade by the department of public worksto the Master of the High Court building inAlbertus Street, a new R200m residentialdevelopment called The Sentinel on the cor-ner of Loop and Leeuwen streets, the R680mdevelopment of the SunSquare and Stay-Easy hotels on the site of the old Tulip Hotelin Bree Street, and the transformation ofthe old Triangle House in Riebeek Street in-to aR1bn residential andhotel developmenthave been confirmed.

Boom time“A year ago, we predicted that residentialproperty would be the newwave of develop-ment, and we are thrilled in particular tosee this happening as demand has signifi-cantly now outstripped supply in the cen-tral city,” Kane says.This trend was confirmed by consultant

and associate professor of Urban Econom-ics, Property Development and Land Mar-kets at UCT Francois Viruly.The property market has been shown to

run on a roughly 20-year-long cycle, he ex-plains, each of which brings a boom associ-ated with a social catalyst.

Cape Town saw a boom in the 1960s as aresult of industrialisation, one in the 1980sas cars became popular and saw homeown-ersmoving further from theCBD, and againin the mid-2000s due to an increased GDP,Viruly says.“However, now the cycle has come full

circle: New residential development is nownot only in demand but construction has be-gun,muchof it looking at convertingunder-utilisedB-grade office space into residential– which, in turn, will no doubt also have animpact overall on available office space cur-rently existing,” he says.The next property cycle will be driven by

public transport and the desire by house-holds to live in often smaller residentialunits that offer good access to work, playand educational facilities, Viruly explains.“Public transport is going to be a game

changer,” he says.

International trendThe next property boom could start as soonas 2018, he predicts.This boom will be centred on residential

property, following international trends tolive in downtown areas, Viruly says.“Two-thirds of South Africa is urban-

ised,”he says. “Thenational treasury is tak-ing cities very seriously at the moment.”Kaneadds: “We think that peoplewanting

to live here and be closer to their places ofwork and play is the biggest thumbs-up anyCBD can receive.”

Experts hint at aresidential propertyboom around thecorner

Market to find ourselvesTake a day to remember just how richyour heritage (and culture) really is.

The Wie is Jy? Collective presents itsfirst monthly Leka mal bizarre on Satur-day.

The event promises to take visitors ona journey to discover the rich history ofthe city’s indigenous people by bringingtogether a mix of local food and drink, lo-cally produced clothes and toys, as wellas a day filledwith top-quality local enter-tainment.

The Wie is Jy? Collective, a group of ac-tivists and other locals from various com-munities and backgrounds who came to-gether to “share our life experiences”,launched on 6 April.

Sindi Sampson, a member of the collec-tive, says the Leka mal bizarre is a cele-bration of the indigenous people of CapeTown, or //Hui !Gaeb as it was originallyknown to the Khoisan people who calledthis area home.

“With our offerings, we want to educatepeople about their rich past and explorethe struggles that were endured, with the

goal of empowering people with a proudknowledge of their history,” she says.

“It is through coming together atevents like these, that South Africans areable to break the shackles of our apart-heid past and start a journey to rediscov-er and express our indigenous Africanidentity.”

Going up Lion’sHead in heelsGARY VAN DYK

@gvdcapejazz

Two young ladies are taking their love forfashion to greater heights on Tuesday 16

June when they climb Lion’s Head – inheels!

Closet Chat is an online fashion talk showand the founders, Loren Henderson fromBonteheuwel and Loren Loubser from DiepRiver, will be stepping out in style whenthey tackle the tough walk on Tuesday.

Loren Henderson explained that theystarted the online talk show to highlightand encourage individual style, trends andyoung designers and entrepreneurs.

“Through fashion, we aim to inspire, en-courage and develop youth in Cape Townand surrounding areas,”she says.

“We are looking for young people to joinus on our quest because this campaign willfocus on the youth of Cape Town and sur-rounding areas in an effort to encouragethem to ‘step out’ of their situations, chal-lenges and circumstances.

“There is also the opportunity for all inthe city to support us by helping us to sup-port the Put Foot Foundation by pledgingmoney to assist them in their projects.

“The Put Foot Foundation is a volunteerbased, proudly South African organisationthat tackles the need of the daily plight andindignity of children with no shoes.

“What better way to do it than steppingup in style,” she laughs.

Loren Henderson added that they are alsoinviting companies to partner with them to

show that their business takes pride in acti-vely making change and promoting youthinitiatives.

“Partnering on this event will bring posi-tivity to both our brands and allow the yo-uth of Cape Town to see the heart behindbig business to support positive youth acti-vities,” she said.

“We are looking for businesses to come onboard as pledgers or to sponsor merchandi-se on the day of the walk.

“Individuals can also come on board aspledgers, and even join us on the walk onthe day.”

Loren Loubser points out that they welco-me all donations but encourage businessesto jump in and sponsor as little as R1 for eve-ry step they take in their heels.

“The rough estimate is that it takes 2 800steps to the top, but we will welcome all do-nations to help this organisation that dona-tes brand new school shoes to as many nee-dy children as possible, allowing the youthto walk to school and feel proud with theirnew school shoes and ready to be empowe-red through education.”

Closet Chats will be filming the entire ex-perience, which will be aired on their You-Tube channel. The walk will start at 09:00at the foot of Lion’s Head and the organisersencourage participants to take up the chal-lengeofwearing fashionheels, but sneakersand hiking boots will also be welcomed.

‘Cook hard, play hard’ aces testsTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

The Test Kitchen is neatly tucked in be-hind the Old Biscuit Mill in Woodstock,

so it’s not easily noticeable.However, those who have visited it and

had a chance to test the fare, can’t stop sing-ing the restaurant’s praises.Everyone seems to agree and at the begin-

ning of this month the restaurant wasnamed number 28 of theWorld’s 50 Best Res-taurants of the year.The Test Kitchen is the only restaurant

from South Africa to have made it to theglobal list of best restaurants created by theBritish trade publication Restaurant.A group of almost 1000 experts in the res-

taurant community across the world votefor the winning restaurants.The top five restaurants are El Celler de

Can Roca in Girona, Spain, Osteria Frances-cana in Modena, Italy, Noma in Copenha-gen, Denmark, Central in Lima, Peru andEleven Madison Park in New York.The Test Kitchen is not a stranger to being

lauded. For three consecutive years, start-ing in 2012, the restaurant haswon the SouthAfrican Eat Out Restaurant Awards.Head chef Ivor Jones says the life of a chef

is not an easy one but he attributes their suc-cesses to being able to work hard and playhard, but most of all to having fun in thekitchen. Jones says it makes them so happythat they are being recognised for what theylove to do.“It’s quite amazing to be recognised and

it’s an incredible feeling given that we start-ed small andwehaven’t been in the industryfor a long time. It shows that we are doingsomething right and that just gives us thezeal to do much better each time.“We cook hard andwe play hard. Running

a kitchen is not an easy job but I’m glad thatthe people that I work with do it with pas-

sion, determination, and most of all theyhave fun whilst making food,” he says.Jones believes that new, interesting food

and the style of dishing out is what has putthe restaurant on the map.“Our approach to food is no closed door.

Weworkonour ideas andmost of allwe cookwith our gut feeling and it’s really amazingwhat comes out. Flavours and the way wedish out make people come back for more,”he says.Theymake different kinds of cuisines and

Jones says the slow-cooked lamb ribs, “pick-led fish” dish (tuna and curried fish creamwith Japanese jelly and salt-cured apricot)and summer tomatoes are the favourite for

most people.Alan Winde, provincial minister of eco-

nomic opportunities, congratulates the TestKitchen for being ranked as one of theworld’s top restaurants.He says this will garner international ex-

posure for the restaurant and the destina-tion as a whole.“Iwould like to commend theTestKitchen

for delivering an excellent offering. Thisaward is a great boost for our tourismsector.The Western Cape’s food services industryalso plays a huge role in agri-processing andin our case, the high quality of our agri-proc-essed goods is demonstrated by this award,”says Winde.

The Test Kitchen’s head chef Ivor Jones with chef owner Luke Dale-Roberts are all smiles astheir hard work over the years is being recognised.

• Residential Tariffs: Overall revenue increase from the group is 10.82%,but individual customers will likely see different values based on actualconsumption. The difference between the average and the actual increase arisesfrom the recovery of the shortfall of revenue from the Lifeline Block 1 rate.

• A consumer receiving 450kWh per month will see the same percentageincrease irrespective of which tariff they are on,meaning there is no change tothe level of subsidy received by these consumers on the Lifeline tariff.

• Free Basic Electricity: Lifeline tariff customers receiving less than 250kWhpermonthon averagewill receive a free basic supply of 60kWh,with those receiving between250kWh and 450kWhpermonth on averagewill receive a free basic supply of25kWhpermonth.

• The Residential SSEG tariff gains a second block aligned to the Domestic TariffBlock 2 to prevent customers installing exceptionally small generators andreceiving a large reduction in account without actually generating any electricity.

• Small Power User 1 with Off Peak combination will be restricted to existingcustomers only from 1 July 2012. The Off Peak components also increase by anabove average amount as a step in the phasing out of this tariff.

• Small Power User 1 tariff receives a slight structural adjustment in line with theCost of Supply study outcomes.

• Time of Use tariffs restructured to ensure the Medium Voltage tariff at minimumhas parity with EskomMegaflex.

• Commercial tariffs see a slightly above average increase as a result of therecovery of the subsidy provided for the Atlantis TOU tariff.

NOTE: Monthly Service Charges are calculated as the Daily Service Charge multipliedby number of days in billing period.

2.4. SOLIDWASTE MANAGEMENTAn increase has been approved on the consumptive tariffs for collections of 8.33% anddisposal of 9.31%.

New songs a present to fansLOUISA STEYL

@LouNotes

Cape Town blues rockers Crimson Housewant to give their new album away.The band members, who are preparing to

release their third album, Come alive, havedecided that instead of selling their newrele-ase at their launch, they’d like to “gift” thealbum indigital and physical formats to newand existing fans.“We wanted to get the music out there,

that’s it,” says Crimson House frontman Ri-aan Smit.He says the band doesn’t want to have to

sell the album at one show at a time or haveto fight with distributors and labels to getit “in the hands of the peoplewemade it for”.One of the songs on the already completed

album is called “Give it all away”, in whichRiaan sings about his soul not being “for sa-le”.“I wanted to stand behind that lyric, and

this music is my soul, our collective souls,and we’re not for sale.”

Pledge to getWhile the recording of Come alive has al-

ready been paid for by regular shows overa period of two years, Crimson House haspartnered with South African crowd-fun-ding company Thundafund to raise moneyto print and distribute the album.Through its Thundafund campaign, Crim-

son House fans or “pledgers” can choose anumber of pledge options, from R100, whichbuys a digital download of the album once

it’s released, or R150, which buys a digitalcopy of all three Crimson House albums anda printed version of the new one, to more ex-pensive options that buy merchandise anddinner with the band. An extremely gene-rous fan might consider the R100 000 pledge,which buys the band’s banjo player, Arnovan Zyl, orAra as he’s affectionately known,for a night “no questions asked”.Come alivewas recorded at Jo Ellis’s Blue-

roomStudios in Ladismith. Jo happens to beRiaan’s grandmother’s neighbour and wor-

ked on his cousin William Welfare’s (previ-ously Willem Welsyn) album.Riaan describes the recording process as

an amazing journey, despite a rough start.They had already lost a day of recording

time when they started with their first sess-ion after Riaan got arrested for speeding onhis way to Ladismith while listening to theBlack Cat Bones’s new album.“I got carried away in a head bang with

Ara and missed the sign.”The detour wasn’t a complete waste,

though. Riaan wrote the song “Holding cell”while sitting in one.The band has been together for about five

years and Riaan says there’s a sense of bro-therhood that comes out in the music nowthat they’ve got to know each other.

One of a kindBesides the more relaxed atmosphere it

was recorded in, Come alive is also differentfrom the band’s previous albums, Smoke,dust and whisky andRed shack rock becauseit contains 16 songs – more than their usualnine or 10.The songs were also all tracked live, gi-

ving the album a more “natural feel”.The band is also proud of Come alive’s al-

bum art, created by artist Emily Paradiswhile listening to the album. Emily createdthe cover as a physical canvas painting. Theoriginal artwork can also be bought as apledge reward.OnceCrimsonHousehas raised itsR80 000

target andpledgershave received thealbum,the bandmembers plan to literally throw therest off stage at their debut Oppikoppi per-formance later this year.Come alive will be launched at Hillcrest

Quarry in Durbanville on Sunday 26 Julywhere Crimson House will be performingwith theNomadicOrchestra andMrCat andthe Jackal.V Visit www.thundafund.com/Crimsonhousecomealive before Friday 26 June to support Crimson House’scrowdfunding campaign. Visit www.facebook.com/CrimsonHouse to see Emily’s artwork or for more information about the band.

Have you ever felt like the wool is being pulled over youreyes?That is perhaps the best way to describe the collective

feeling of many Capetonians when it comes to propertydevelopment.While no-one would for a minute say development is

a bad thing, decisions seem to be made between councilofficials and developers. The contributions of the public,the community and even the neighbours seem to be castaside, applied onlywhere it is absolutely necessary or noteven asked for in the first place.Too often, neighbours are fobbed off with the lines “It’s

within the property zoning” or “Due process was fol-lowed”.But as a transparent administration, is it not the job

of council to give residents information on which deci-sions are being made and why they are being made?And if they are, as they say, a “caring and inclusive

city”, one would hope they would listen to the opinionsof those living within their administration.Yet we witness the opposite on a regular basis.Pensioners living in council flats along De Waal Drive

may be forced out to make way for a high-end residentialdevelopment.Public open space in Clifton is under threat of develop-

ment, which will include 40 homes, a hotel and shops.It’s not that we don’t want to see our city flourish, with

investment pouring in and infrastructure improving.But canyouexpect the local community towatchas gen-

trification spreads across the city, fromWoodstock to SeaPoint, and say nothing?Canyoureally expectus, in this ageof information flow,

to blindly sign off on developments ofwhichwehave beengiven absolutely no details?It’s time to come clean and declare what is being built,

where, and how it will affect those around it.

More adventure than I bargained forI joined the scouting movement as a cubin 2008. I moved up to Scouts at thebeginning of 2010. At the time I wasunaware of the life that lay before me.I thought I was joining a rather lame

movement, where I would spend myweekends tying knots, practising FirstAid and helping old ladies cross theroad.So I was quite surprised when I

realised what it really was.I have spent nights on Table Moun-

tain, slept in tents in the middle ofnowhere, spent ten days hiking throughthe Cederberg mountain range, sailed in

regattas at Simon’s Town and built andslept on rafts made from poles.Later in the year I will be travelling to

Japan for almost 20 days for the 23rdWorld Scout Jamboree. Thousands willbe attending, including the king ofSweden and Bear Grylls. I’ve done allthis, and I’m only 16.I’ve learnt leadership, which in these

times is more essential than ever. I’velearnt to never give up and how to keepsmiling when times get bad. I’ve madelifelong friendships, met extraordinarypeople and visited places in Cape Townpeople have never heard of.

This is only half of the kind of stuffthat awaits you when you become aScout.My life changed and became an

adventure. For all those who think theyare up for the scouting adventure, join.

TAMING THE TEEN

How to fail effectivelyGAVIN FISH

Fight with your parents.Use phrases like “Of course I am study-

ing, what do you think I am doing?” or,“Relax, Dad, you are far too tense, I havegot plenty of time” or “I am on a studybreak, Mom, no-one can study forever.”Slam your door; be obnoxious and rude.

When your parents leave you alone, youwill have succeeded in your mission.

ProcrastinateDelay, delay, delay! Find other, nicer

things to do, wait until the absolute lastminute before starting studying.Spend longer on your cellphone, in the

shower, at the gym, startwatching theNa-tional Geographic channel because it is“relevant to what I need to be studying,Mom”.Examine your skin, start a new novel

– the thicker the better – procrastinate.

Believe the voices in your head“You can’t do this, you have never un-

derstood it, you never will, so why try?”“I don’t know where to start.”“Hey relax, you can always pass at the

end of the year. June doesn’t count, thereis plenty of time.”“You will always get a low D no matter

how hard you try.”

Be disorganisedEnsure that you have lost at least two

of your textbooks or notebooks. Be carefulnot to stick your notes in and definitelynot in the correct order.Ensure that you are unsure what you

have to study.Stay at home in the last few days before

you write to catch up on the work you ha-ven’t started to study yet.

Pretend you are studyingOpen your textbook, read it occasional-

ly, don’t underline, highlight, write downkeywords, revise difficult sections, teachthe work back to yourself or use the notestaken in class.Do it on your bed at an angle as close

to completely horizontal as you can. Just

sort of read your textbook.

Ignore your goalsBetter still, don’t have any goals at all,

then you can’t be disappointed with yourmarks.Think of today only. Tomorrow,manya-

ne, we can worry about becoming a doc-tor, a physiotherapist, a teacher, a humanresource manager, an executive secre-tary.Later, not now.

Ignore the obviousDon’t ask for help with the fact that you

freeze up in exams with anxiety.Tell nobody that you are dealing with

emotional issues thatmake studying diffi-cult or impossible.

Blame someoneBlame anyone.Howabout the loadshed-

ding? That cold that you can feel comingon, just how bad your History, Science,Technology, Geography teacher is, the ex-am paper that sucked, the hall that wasjust too cold… Blame somebody!

At just 11 years old she is alreadyplayingin the big league, kicking the soccerball against grown women.

Andwithher dreamsalready coming true,Nabeelah Galant is setting even bigger onesfor her bright future in sport.The passionate soccer player from Rock-

lands has been playing competitively for thepast two years but started playing in thepark next to her house when she was justtwo.“My father played sports and one day he

taught me how to kick the ball in the park.Since then I liked playing the game,” shesays.“She is a natural,” says Riedewaan, her fa-

ther.Riedewaan also played soccer and did ath-

letics inhis youngerdays. The twonow traintogether every week.Nabeelah’s mother Fazlin says she is her

father’s superstar.“Sometimes he does not even make time

for me. She is his focus. Of all the coachesshe has, he is one of her best motivators,”she says.Riedewaan explains that he does not push

her too hard, working on scheduled train-ing. “We did squats and weights the one dayso the next we just took a jog,” he says.Nabeelah also does athletics and swim-

ming for various clubs.The busy sports fanatic juggles a hectic

training schedule but does not forget herschoolwork.Hermother says she does not knowwhere

she finds the time as she will soon join the

athletics team of her primary school.“Education is important and Nabeelah

knows that,” says her mother.The Santos player has high hopes for a

long career in sport. However, Fazlin says,Nabeelah knows the rules.“I have very strict rules for Nabeelah and

she knows it is education first. She says shewants to be on the soccer field so I told herto study into a soccer field,” says Fazlin.Nabeelah is not sure where her education

will lead her yet but she has high hopes forthe future. “I want to play for ManchesterUnited one day,” she says with a shy giggle.Although she supports the team she still

hopes to see herself wearing national col-ours in the next five years.Fazlin says she is such an inspiration for

the community.“Everywhere we go people tell us how in-

spired they are by her,” she says.The little go-getter started her own sport-

ing career when she approached the localsoccer club to join about two years ago.She playedwith the boys andwhen the op-

portunity rose to play for a local women’steam she jumped at the chance to showwhatshe’s got.Fazlin and Riedewaan agree that support

is very important.“We support her and we spend time with

her at the soccer field whenever she has amatch. This is what she wants to do and wewill be behind her every step of the way,”Fazlin says.Fazlin says they juggle a busy schedule,

ensuring both their children’s hobbies areseen to, but they would not change it for theworld.“She is 11 and already playing with grown

women,” Fazlin boasts, saying she has ma-tured beyond her years.Nabeelahwants to inspire others to follow

their dreams.“I want people to see that it is possible to

be anything you want to be,” she says.
