CPFs dividedLIAM MOSES

Community Policing Forumsaround Cape Town have reactedto news that they will soon beable to exercise a small amountcontrol over the City’s law en-forcement departments.

Alderman J P Smith, chairman ofthe mayoral committee (Mayco) forsafety and security, said that fromnext year CPFs would be able to as-sign specific tasks to the City’s met-ro police and traffic department.

Smith said that the point of theprogramme was to help improvethe partnership between CapeTown’s law enforcement agenciesand CPFs, and to make better use ofthe limited resources available tothe City.

“What I want is an accountabilitymechanism, where the communitycanholdmystaff accountable,” saidSmith.

“I want them to be able to assignspecific duties and priorities to thetraffic law enforcement and metropolice. So we are giving them a timesheet and every day they can allo-cate a priority to each one of theseservices. The following month mystaff must then report on what theyhave done.”

The programme is still in its de-velopmental phase and the finer de-tails will be worked out in Januarynext year when Smith and the restof the Safety and Security Maycomeet with CPF heads.

However, Smith envisions that itwill involve the CPF leaders meet-ing with a metro police and trafficservices representative and thenfilling in a timesheet to say howwhat they would like the law en-forcement officers to concentrateon.

Smith believes that the city, CPFsand the neighbourhoods they servewill benefit greatly once this sys-tem is implemented.

“For the community, the benefitis that the staff are held accounta-ble. They will fill in the timesheetwith what they want the law en-forcement to do and the staff thenwill report back at the next meetingon what stats were generated, and

what happened, and what theyfound there,” said Smith.

“For the city, the plus side is thatwe won’t be just sitting with thecommunity ‘shotgunning’ a largelist of requests. At the CPF meet-ings what usually happens is thatone person will say this and anoth-er will say that. And you end upwith a list of about 20 things that arepriorities and that you have to beresponsible for, and, quite frankly,you end up not being responsiblefor any of them.

“The benefit for the city is that itwill compel the CPF to exercise itsmindonwhat thepriorities are, andto allocate the resources availableto them accordingly.”

Senior CPF leaders in Cape Towndo not all share Smith’s confidencethat the project will help to reducecrime in their areas, or improve co-operation between themselves, theCity’s law enforcement agenciesand the police.

While some welcomed the move,others criticised it heavily.

Hanif Loonat, chairperson of theWestern Cape Community Policeboard, was ecstatic upon hearingthe news from the People’s Post.

“I’m lost for words. If that’s whathe (Smith) told you then he needsto be applauded for taking such astance. He is now coming to thesame page,” said Loonat.

“That is what we have been ask-ing for all along – (for the city) tostart using the CPFs. CPFs legallyrepresent their communities. Weare excited that he has decided touse us as his partner.

“We appeal to him to let this bea lasting relationship, and one thatbefits our communities.”

But Michael Jacobs, Mitchell’sPlain cluster CPF chairperson, saidhe was sceptical about how effec-tive the plan would be.

He criticised the city for not in-cluding CPFs in the planning proc-ess and said the Metro Police’s ina-bility to bring charges against crim-inals could result in the systembreaking down.

“The plans that JP Smith put onthe table are not attainable. I don’tthink they will be fully realised,”said Jacobs.

“When it comes to law enforce-ment, they (the Metro Police) don’thave the powers to investigatecrimes and they don’t have the pow-er to take the suspects to court.They have to hand the suspects tothe SAPS.”

“That calls for greater co-opera-tion between law enforcementagencies, which is the ideal situa-tion, which to my knowledge isn’tcurrently happening. Everybody ishaving their own little operations.”

Cassiem Christians, AthloneCPF’s chairperson, criticised theCity’s law enforcement for theirpast failures, but welcomed themove if it resulted in more co-opera-tion between the city and CPFs.

“We welcome the fact that therecan be a much closer working rela-tionship between the CPFs and thecity law enforcement,” said Chris-tians.

“If we can have this particular

close relationship we can make theimplementation of crime preven-tion operations much more effec-tive. We welcome his (Smith’s) posi-tion that there needs to be this part-nership.

“We need to start planning on along-term basis how we are going todeal with not only crime, but withcrime prevention.”

The programme will also giveteeth to neighbourhood watchesaround the city, by training and ap-pointing some of their members asfully-fledged metro police reserv-ists.

Smith said that the reservistswould be embedded in the neigh-bour watches they came from oncethey had completed the trainingand passed all necessary tests.

Theofficerswould thenbearmed,legally be allowed to conduct searchand seizures and would be able tomake arrests.

Be Proudly South AfricanFAMILIAR shapes and subjects are

turned into elegant pieces to makeexclusive homeware and corporategifts.

The Andy C mark on the back of eachpiece stands for originality, sophistica-tion and pure, uncomplicated beauty.

The company was started in 2001 byAndy and Tina Cartwright, with only oneemployee, and it now has a design studioand factory in Kwazulu Natal, supplyingretail outlets nationally. Today there are15 permanent staff and five freelanceagents.

Orange Bean is the Andy C exclusivenational corporate distributor and thereare a number of international distribu-tors.

“Andy C is a product design company, special-ising in exclusive homeware and corporategifts,” says Tina Cartwright, managing directorof Andy C.

“The company has grown and developed andtherehasbeenaneed todiversify into twodiffer-ent divisions, namely the Spirit of Africa Collec-tion, with Tina Cartwright as MD, and Andy CDesign House, which has Andy Cartwright atthe helm.

“Design House is developing a range of cut-ting edge contemporary designs and also assistscompanies with custom large volume projects.The Spirit of Africa collection consists of theTribal, Emerge and Elephant ranges, which aremostly made from lead-free pewter and are de-signed and manufactured locally.”

She says the Andy C range is sold in retail out-lets nationally and by promotional companiesaround the country to the corporate market,where they choose from the existing range orthe company customises gifts to meet theirneeds.

“It has been very inspiring seeing our busi-ness grow over the years and seeing how ourstaff has grown with us,” says Cartwright.

“It is humbling to meet people who know usfrom the start of our journey, when we wereworking out of my in-laws garage, who are soproud to see how much we have grown.”

She says the company decided to becomeProudly South African because they are pas-sionate about the country and have always beenreally proud.

She added that all South African consumersshould consider the difference they can make bycheckingwhere something ismanufacturedandbuying local first when grocery shopping orbuying a gift.

“To entrepreneurs, keep carrying on, even ifyou can’t see the light at the end of the tunnelor you’re not sure whether you’re making thecorrect decisions. Treat people as if they werewhat they ought to be, and you help them to be-come what they are capable of being.”

She says entrepreneurship can be developedover time. “I am an example of that process,where it has taken me 10 years to feel confidentenough to manage my own division.

“However, it is much quicker to nurture en-trepreneurship in our youth. Andy Cartwright,the founder of Andy C, is a prime example ofthis; he was making his own Christmas presentsprobably before he even started school; he wastaught to think out of the box; to make a planand to be confident that he could achieve any-thing in the world that he put his mind to. Thisshows that if parents, the education system andeven thegovernment concentratedmoreof theirefforts on the youngest in our society, we wouldhave less reliance on the state and far more en-trepreneurs creating jobs and wonderful newproducts,” says Cartwright.

The sale and transfer of landA SALE agreement comes into effectwhen a prospective buyer makes a writ-ten offer to a seller and the seller ac-cepts that offer to purchase his/herproperty on the terms and conditionsagreed upon. The next step is to give ef-fect to this sale by formally transferringthe property from the seller to the buy-er as registered and recorded in ourDeeds Office.

The seller, either directly or throughan estate agent or auctioneer, then in-structs a conveyancing attorney totransfer the property in terms of thesale agreement. The average expectedtime period for the process from sale totransfer is approximately 12-14 weeks.However, this time period may varyand quite possibly increase due to theparticular circumstances of each case,eg: where a deceased estate or divorcematter is involved and additional docu-ments will need to be prepared.

Once instruction has been receivedby the attorney (ie: the transferring at-torney), a file is opened and the attor-ney will first ensure that the suspen-sive conditions have been compliedwith before proceeding any further. Asuspensive condition is a conditionwhich must be complied with in orderfor the transfer to take place, for exam-ple, the payment of a deposit.

The transferring attorney will nowproceed to draft the transfer documentsin preparation for signature by the sell-er and buyer. Five basic documents arerequired for the transfer of an immova-ble property, namely the Power of At-torney, the existing Title Deed in termsof which the seller is the current regis-tered owner, the new Deed of Transferin termsofwhich thebuyerwill becomethe new registered owner, the TransferDuty Receipt and Rates Clearance Cer-tificate.

Transfer Duty is a tax payable by thebuyer on the purchase and transfer ofimmovable property. Note though that

this cost is in addition to the transfer-ring attorney’s transfer costs. Howev-er, the transaction may be exempt fromtransfer duty tax if the purchase priceis R600 000 or less (as per current legis-lation). Thus, transfer duty tax is calcu-lated as follows:

R0-R600 000 = no transfer duty paya-ble

R600 000 – R1-million = 3% of the val-ue between these amounts

R1-million – R1,5-million = 5% + R12000

Above R1,5-million = 8% + R37 000A Rates Clearance Certificate is a cer-

tificate issued by the City of Cape Townto the transferring attorney upon settle-ment of the seller’s rates clearance bal-ance, which includes advance collec-tions on the rates account for a periodof 120 days. This cost is payable by theseller.

Once the documents are in order thetransferring attorney will contact thebond attorneys and the bond cancella-tion attorney and arrange a date tolodge their respective deeds simultane-ously at the Deeds Office. The docu-ments are examined and usually be-come available for registration within10-12 working days from date of lodge-ment.

The transfer, bond and bond cancella-tionare then simultaneously registeredresulting in the transfer being effectedbetween the seller and buyer.

This is but a basic overview of thetransfer process and circumstancesmay vary according to the particulari-ties of each transaction.

Be advised that the buyer will be lia-ble for the bond attorney’s registrationcosts in addition to the transfer costsand the seller will be liable for the set-tlement amount of the bond as well asthe bond cancellation attorney’s costs.It would be advisable for prospectivebuyers to request a cost quotation in ad-vance so that they are able to budget.

Enough is enough,say residentsTAURIQ HASSEN

OBSERVATORY residents do not wish tosee another pub opening up in the middleof a residential area and have formerlyobjected against an application.

The liquor application is for The WildGoose, on the corner of Norfolk and LowerMain roads in Observatory.

According to Henk Stutterheim, who sub-mitted a letter of objection on behalf of theObservatory Civic Association to the localauthorities, the proposed pub is next door toresidential premises.

He highlighted that the application indi-cated that the pub would operate until 04:00,and added the pub had no adequate parking.

“According to the owners, the pub is in-tended for the local residents, but we believeit’s targeting students who would flock to thearea,” says Stutterheim.

Surrounding residents felt that anotherpub, bar or night club was not needed andthe applicant’s licence request should be re-jected. Mark Andrews, a nearby resident, ex-plained that the clubs and pubs located a fewmetres away from his house already posedproblems to police and other organisations.

“We have enough problems with the cur-rent lot of pubs in the area, so now we wouldbe adding to those problems and would onlymake our lives so much more difficult in fu-ture,” says Andrews.

Another resident, Sally Martins, wasshocked tohear about the application: “Whatare we turning this neighbourhood into?Every timeyouhear aboutnewbusinessmanwanting to open up bars and nightclubs.Mark my words, soon Lower Main Road inObservatory will be regarded as the Las Ve-gas strip.” Ward Councillor Brett Herronsaid: “I am very concerned about the numberof applications for liquor licences in the Ob-servatory area and there are several issuesthat the community battles with on an ongo-ing basis.”

Herron highlighted that concerns overnoise and rowdy behaviour headed the list,but pointed out that there was very little theCity of Cape Town could do.

“We are afforded an opportunity to com-ment on an application, but we do not makedecisions as to whether the licence should begranted or not,” says Herron.

People’s Post attempted to gain commentfrom the owners, but was unsuccesful at thetime of going to print.

CANSA endorses BPA-free bottlesThe first range of Bisphenol A-freebaby products in South Africahave been endorsed by the CancerAssociation of South Africa (CAN-SA).

Bisphenol A, commonly knownas BPA, is a chemical sued in themanufacture of baby bottles.

BPA is known to migrate intomilk and other fluids, especiallywhen heated or micro-waved, andcan interfere with a baby’s hormo-nal development.

According to Sue Janse vanRensburg, CEO of CANSA, poly-carbonate bottles which containBPA should be replaced with BPA-free bottles.

“Over the past three years CAN-SAhas studied thepro- andanti-Bi-sphenol A (BPA) scientific evi-

dence and is convinced that BPA,which is hormonally active, posesa threat to human health – specifi-cally by increasing the risk ofbreast or prostate cancer,” saidJanse van Rensburg.

Children under three years ofage are understood to be more sus-ceptible to BPA because theirbrains are still forming, they lackthe enzymes to inactivate BPA andthey eat ten times more per day perbody weight than adults do.

Exposure to BPA-containing ba-by products can cause childhoodobesity, premature puberty, erec-tile dysfunction and even breastcancer.

Nuby’s Natural Touch™ range isthe first full BPA-free baby productrange.

According to Yaseen Bhayat,CEO of Akacia Health Care, thecompany which produces the Nu-by’s range, said that the companywas proud of its partnership withCANSA.

“Our partnership with CANSAis very special – the association al-lows Akacia to fulfil part of its so-cial responsibility programme bymaking a direct and indirect nomi-nal contribution towards the manyhealth care challenges, includingthe fight against cancer faced byour country,” said Bhayat.

BPA products have already beenbanned in Canada, France, Den-mark, China, Malaysia and the Eu-ropean Union. CANSA is currentlycampaigning for South Africa tofollow suit.

Garage owner respondsto probe over conditionsTERESA FISCHER

MORE questions were sentto one of the owners of BP

garage in Durham Avenue, SaltRiver, following the article “BPworkers ‘exploited’”, People’sPost, Tuesday 1 November.

Workers have alleged theirrights were violated and that theyare being subjected to grossly un-fair working conditions. The own-ers originally chose to let BP’shead office respond to the allega-tions. But subsequent to the arti-cle, People’s Post learned twoworkers had been dismissed andagain approached the owners forcomment.

These were the questions:. Do workers receive pay slips?. Do workers receive overtime

pay?. Are workers compelled to live

at the lodge?

. What renovations are takingplace at the lodge? People’ Post no-ticed work being done in the kitch-en and one of the bathrooms.

. Are Provident fund/UIF con-tributions paid by BP Salt River?

.Why were two workers recent-ly dismissed? It has been allegedthis was a reprisal for media cov-erage of the garage.

.What procedure was followedwhen dismissing these employ-ees?

. Was all money owed paid tothem?

Rumalan Govender, on behalf ofBP Durham responded: “It ap-pears from your questions thatthere is harmful speculation andallegations directed at BP Dur-ham, consistent with the state-ments reported by yourself.

We advise that we follow appli-cable labour laws and regulationsat BP Durham. In this industry,procedures exist for employees

who feel aggrieved. This includesconsulting internally with the em-ployer and then approaching au-thorized third party bodies. We dowish to maintain our approach offollowing the correct channels andnot circumventing such process-es.

Despite the harm caused by thepublic nature of these allegations,we cannot subvert the sanctionedprocesses and mechanisms by re-sponding to yourselves first. Wewould formally respond to the rel-evant bodies as and when may berequired.

The above answer is applicableto the individual questions youhave asked. Further, answeringsome of the questions would jeop-ardize agreed confidentiality thatexists in the current disciplinaryprocesses. We respectfully advisethat should you wish to quote ormake reference to our response,that it be done so in its entirety.”

Cape Town Carnival dances in the twilightTHE Cape Town Carnival com-bined with the Community ChestTwilight Fun Run recently, withperformers dancing their waydown Long Street in high heelsand super glamorous carnivalcostumes.

The 10 lead dancers brought thepassing traffic and runners to a haltas hundreds of people stopped tolook, chat and take photographs.

“The Cape Town Carnival is morethan just glamour and dance, it isa celebration of the human spirit,and it is about social cohesion, in-clusivity and creating opportuni-ties for communities; both econom-ic and social. In this context we sup-port the Community Chest TwilightFun Run,” said Carnival CEO JayDouwes.

The celebratory parade of the2012 Cape Town Carnival takesplace on 17 March 2012. An estimat-ed 1 500 performers representing 40community groups from across theMother City will take to the streetaccompanied by large colourful andimpressive non-motorised floats.

THERE can be nothing more fabulous thanthe famous old Fabulous Woodstock Starliteswhen it comes to the annual minstrel competi-tion.

They were established in 1973 in LowerMain Road in Woodstock and strived tochange the face of their team and community.

According to Jamaldien Jumah, oldestfounding member and owner of the team,when the troupe first started beating theirdrums and blowing their trumpets, people’sperception mainly concerned the number ofgangsters involved with the troupe.

“We as a group have worked long and hardto change those perceptions and we rather fo-cus on the entertaining factors and what wecan give back to the community,” says Jumah.

The troupe first took to the stage in Good-wood, where they walked away in their debutseason as carnival champions, and latermoved to Athlone Stadium, where they wonnumerous trophies for their cabinet.

When the team joined the Kaapse KlopseKarnival Association in 2004, the team justi-fied the “Fabulous’’ in their name by walkingaway as carnival champions six years in a rowin their respectivedivisions.Theyalsoprovedthey could look fabulous by winning the prizefor best dressed minstrel troupe five yearsstraight.

“We are regarded as a top team and in orderto remain a top team, you must work hard and

bring out the performances when they aremuch needed, but our main aim is to educatethe youth and pass on what we have learntover the years, because they are the futureleaders of this team,” says Jumah proudly. Intheir 38-year history, the Fabulous WoodstockStarlites have managed to start a music anddance school for the youth.

Every Saturday, youngsters from areassuch as Hanover Park, Valhalla Park, Bonte-heuwel and Woodstock attend classes at TheLab, the team’s headquarters, behind theWoodstock Library in Clyde Street.

Classes are free and parents are regularlyencouraged by the team’s directors and cap-tains to send their children to the classes,where they are taught how to play various in-struments, sing a variety of different songsand also the art of foxtrotting.

“In the end, it’s all about the children andwe must learn to make that our number onepriority, which we are focussing on now,”says Jumah.

However, the team is currently operatingwithout any sponsors and is living off dona-tions andgeneroushand-outs from teammem-bers and the surrounding community.

“We started off by having sponsors onboard, but this changed over time and welearnt that we have to put the team before ourfinancial difficulties, because we are acom-munity based team and there are many peoplewho would be disappointed if the Starlitesshould no longer existed,” says Jumah.

Artistic way to save the rhinoHANRIE BOSCH

MORE than 400 rhinos werepoached throughout South Af-rica this year, according to SANational Parks (SANParks),and with a few more days to gotill the end of the year, whoknows where the tally will end.

“The number of rhinospoached, 405, is up by approxi-mately 21.6% from the 333 of theprevious year, against an in-crease of 173% and 47% for 2010and 2009 respectively,” said SAN-Parks.

The Kruger National Park hadthe most losses with 229 reportedincidents, and in comparison theWestern Cape came off the lightlywith only four incidents in 2011.

The scale of the problem seemsinsurmountable, but Capetonianartist Guy Clark is making a dif-ference and trying to ensure thatthe rhinos are still around nextyear.

“Humans identify with differ-ent animals. At Shamwari I liter-ally had my hands in their mid-den (faeces) trying to decipherwhether it was a black or a whiterhino,” says rhino warrior GuyClark.

Dressed in corporate clothes,Clark seems more like a real es-tate agent than a conservation-ist/artist.

After spending two months inShamwari training as a gameranger, Clark “fell in love withthe bush, not game ranging”.

Coming back to Cape Town,Clark was adamant to do his bitto save the rhinos.

Clark uses sustainable pine, re-sponsibly farmed inSouthAfrica,

for his can-vas, with aclear vinylprint of a rhi-no on top, cre-ating the ef-fect that therhino is dis-appearing in-to the back-ground as thewood shinesthrough.

His worksare limitededitions, withonly five ofeach print.His ambi-tious projectto do his bit tosave SouthAfrican wild-life is also cre-ating an em-ployment op-portunity fora disabledhomelessman, who builds the canvas, and80% of the funds are going to theWild Life ACT fund, which focus-es on educating upcoming gener-ations about rhinos, and dispel-ling the myth that rhino horns,made from the same material asfingernails and hair, have medic-inal value.

“Everybody is now focusing onChristmaspresents, but our focusshould be on our children and ourchildren’s children, by helpingthose who cannot speak for them-selves. It is our responsibility ashumans to right the wrongs ofothers.

“The killing of rhinos comesdown to superstition. The key to

change is education. Without ed-ucation we are sure to lose therhino forever, and that iswhygiv-ing funds to the Wild Life ACTFund is so important.”

His pieces sell for R1 450 at theCape Quarter Village Market eve-ry Sunday from 10:00 to 15:00, andall prints can be custom made.Even if you do not want a rhinoin your house any other photocan be used and the money willstill be donated to the WildlifeACT Fund. To find out moreabout his work visit his facebookpage at blackwhite green, or con-tact him on 072 465 6978, or senda mail to bwgconserva-tion@gmail.com.

Orphaned youngrhino put downTANNER 2,the orphanedrhino calf thatsurvived thehorrificpoaching inci-dent lastmonth atShamwariGame Reserve(Rhino or-phans team upafter ordeal,People’s Post,6 December)has had to beeuthaniseddue to his in-juries.

Joe Cloete, group general manag-er of Shamwari, said: “Eye damageproved to be irreversible andsloughing of necrotic tissue to hisleg affected his hock seriously. Hestruggled to stand up and walk.There was no reason to prolong hissuffering. Tanner was euthanised.”

The Shamwari Veterinary teamdid their utmost to recuperate Tan-ner 2 and he had responded wellonce he was relocated to the bomaat the Wildlife Centre.

Initial concerns were eye damageand pressure to lower limbs as wellas the wound where his horn hadbeen removed. The biggest initialchallenges were to reduce pain andto get him to eat and drink and ad-minister eye drops at six hourly in-tervals, said Cloete.

“The solution to his anorexia wasto introduce him to Clint, anotherorphaned white rhino calf. Clinttaught him to once again enjoy the

lush green grass in a camp at theWildlife Centre. As Tanner’s eye-sight was deteriorating, he also fol-lowed Clint to water troughs and amud wallow and a strong bond de-veloped between the two of themand they became best of friends,which was incredible to witness,”said Cloete.

“In the meantime, Tanner had tobe treated on a regular basis. AsClint became very protective overTanner, it was a challenge to anaes-thetise Tanner for treatment whileClint had to be kept at a distance.Although Tanner’s appetite im-proved, he had severe problemswith tissue damage to one of hishind legs as well as deterioration ofhis eye sight.

“Everyone at Shamwari, includ-ing Clint, will miss Tanner 2. Clintwill be relocated back to KariegaGame Reserve soon where he willjoin the existing herd of white rhi-no.”

KEEP SAVINGWATER

One­way ticketto exhilarationANDRE BAKKES

THE “expressive, crea-tive instigator” GlendaJones went all out in hereagerly anticipateddance production, Diaryof a Dancer.

It is unimaginable thatthis exuberant woman willever pass up the opportuni-ty to go all out. Ample evi-dence of this can be seen inher must-see show on 16December at CTICC,where the performers willuse their finely tunedskills to ignite the stagewith African jazz, hip hop,contemporary, cabaret,kwaito, salsa, krumping,ballet funk, freestyle andoriginal dance con-cepts.The third AfrikaAblaze production of theyear is also the most per-sonal for Jones, since shebased it on her own life,and on how dance trans-formed her.“Throughdancing you ignite yourcreativity,” she says.“It isthe most physical andmost personal of all thearts. Soon there is no sepa-ration between the mind,body and soul.”

Jones teaches mostly disadvantaged chil-dren to overcome stigma, prejudice and la-bels and to find themselves through the natu-ral rhythm that engulfs everyone.AfrikaAblaze is, however, open to anyone.She alsolectures a first-year sport science group at theUniversity of the Western Cape, where she“teaches rugby players to dance.”In short,she helps people rid themselves of the percep-tion that they can’t dance.

“I get into their heads and open up theirminds and souls,” she says.“People tend torob themselves of a very creative life. Anyonecan benefit from dancing!”

Diary of a Dancer is a story that will reso-nate with all audiences. It delves into theheart and mind of a young boy who, becauseof his circumstances, goes underground tobury his dreams until he can no longer livewith the lie. “We usually have one major per-formance a year, but due to the enormousgrowth and demand, we will have three thisyear,” says Jones.

The protagonist of the show (portrayed byJesrael Jacobs) grew up in a harsh environ-ment and found his salvation in dance. Aneventful foray into the world makes himthink twice about what is really important inlife.Jones has collected nuggets of wisdom inher ongoing adventure.

“What makes a dancer brilliant? Is it thesacrifices a person makes? Is it their sweat,strife, pain or hard work? Are there shortcuts?”She lets the questions sink in beforeshe answers: “Dancing is hard work! And on-ly fear separates the great from the averagedancers.

“The fear of not being good enough. Thefear of failure.”Jacobs, whom Jones de-scribes as having been blessed with the giftof “dancing on water,” plays a character thatgrows up in abject poverty, but then discov-ers the meaning of his life when he finds twoballet shoes in a garbage bin.“In a momenthe makes the connection and becomes over-whelmed! That’s where he would like to be,”she says. Swan Lake will be playing in thebackground and in that moment the charac-ter “feels and tastes the music.”

His friends torment the character becauseof his dream, which hurls him into his dark-est moment.

Diary of a Dancer promises to top any ofher previous work and she is confident thather cast of 60 exceptionally talented dancersare once again ready to wow Cape Town withtheir exuberance, versatility, passion andskill.

Open day a sure-fire hit with kidsTHE Volunteer Wildfire Services heldtheir 12th annual open day at their firebase in Newlands Forest from 09:00 to 16:00on Saturday 3 December, with the theme“Beat the Burn 2”.

It was a funfilled day where kids learntabout the VWS, the wildfires that the VWSrespond to, and the effects of

fire on their environment.The day started at 09:00 with excited

children trickling into the base, all gearedup for their big firefighting day. They hadeight activities to complete and receivedtheir badges and certificates once they hadfinished their tasks, to become a honorary“fire-kids”.

Fire-kids, friends, and family were alsotreated to two firefighting displays. TheVWS put on a great display along with theWorking on Fire helicopter, which

dropped water on the new recruits as aninitiation into the unit.

The 40 new recruits, from Newlandsand Jonkershoek, are now fully fledgedwildfire fighters. Skills learnt during thewinter months will be put into practicethis fire season.

The special exhibitors were a big hitwith the fire-kids – especially those of theCity of Cape Town’s fire and rescue serv-ices, Working on Fire and Metro.

Ryan Heydenrych, VWS spokesperson,said: “I don’t know how we are going tomake the next open day better than thisone, as everyone had a wonderful time.Hopefully, some of today’s honorary fire-kids will become members of the VWSwhen they are old enough.”

The day was well attended and the VWSthanked the public who came along.

DEMONSTRATING: The fire­kids are shown how to operate a fire hose, for one of the eightbadges.

CHALLENGES: VWS firefighters are put to the test in a tug­of war.

Milk Matters wantsto express thanksTHE International Breast MilkProject (IBMP), based in the UnitedStates, has stepped in to boost localsupplies and ease the ongoing short-age of donor breastmilk, by donatingover 200 litres of frozen milk to MilkMatters.

Milk Matters is a Western Cape MilkBank devoted to providing premature in-fants with pasteurised donor breastmilkfrom screened healthy mothers.

The donation arrived from Californiaon Thursday 8 December.

According to the organisation, thistimeof year canbea stressful anddifficulttime for some families. “Mothers of tinypremature infants are consistently chal-

lenged with emotional highs and lows formonths on end. Some of these infants areabandoned or may have very sick moth-ers. They are then left with only the medi-cal fraternity and volunteers to care andprotect them,” says Elizabeth Brierley ofMilk Matters.

Providing breastmilk to these vulnera-ble infants can be more important thanthe medication they receive as breastmilkcontains the antibodies and immune fac-tors that protect them from illness, infec-tions and death.

If you would like to donate your extrabreastmilk and ensure that vulnerable in-fants do not go without donor breastmilkthis Christmas please contact Milk Mat-ters on (021) 659-5599 or 082 895 8004.

EVERYONE knows how to recycle glass,tins, paper and even cardboard at home, butwhat about food waste?

Cape Town’s landfill sites are rapidly fill-ing up and food waste makes up 30% of thewaste dumped into these sites. This is ac-cording to Alastair Burns, distributor of Pro-biokashi probiotics. Bokashi uses probiotictechnology to ferment food waste, prevent-ing it from rotting.

Burns says there are no odours, no fliesand it is simple to use as there is no separa-tion required. All food waste can be recycled,including raw and cooked food, meat, bonesand dairy, with a simple bucket system.

Burns says the fermentation period is veryquick and the treated food waste is ready tobe used after two weeks.

Local businesses can also donate theircompost to Abalimi Bezekhaya, “farmers ofthe home”, and support the development oftownship communities.

Abalimi Bezekhaya is a non-profit devel-opment organisation based primarily intownship communities like Nyanga andKhayelitsha.

Rob Small of Abalimi Bezekhaya was

quick to see the potential of Bokashi treatedfood waste as a substitute for expensive ferti-lizer and compost. Compost is a significantexpense for Abalimi in developing vegetablegardens in the nutrient poor soils of Nyangaand

Khayelitsha. The Harvest of Hope market-ing project provides a much-needed outletfor excess produce by selling this produce onbehalf of the farmers in the form of a weeklyorganic box scheme. Their main market isClaremont andRondebosch,where residentssupport the project and benefit from the lo-cally produced, organic vegetable boxes.

Abalimi Bezekhaya now uses treated foodwaste, donated by local southern suburbbusinesses, as plant food in their vegetablegardens.

Other local businesses, including hotelsandoffice or factory canteens, could also sup-port the development of township communi-ties by treating their food waste withBokashi and donating to Abalimi. TheBokashi system can be found amost nurser-ies in Cape Town. Visit www.bokashi.co.zaor contact (021) 865-2832. Or email AlastairBurns on alastair@bokashi.co.za

Make compost without the wait

Become your own bossSMALL, medium and micro enterprises ac-count for about 40% of South Africa’s grossdomestic product, and employ more thanhalf of the private sector work force. Howev-er, 80% of small businesses fail within thefirst five years. According to the most recentGlobal Entrepreneurship Monitor study,South Africa lags far behind many develop-ing nations in terms of its entrepreneurialactivity levels.

The Western Cape is one of the most entre-preneurially dynamic provinces in the coun-try, but still contributes just 14.4% to thecountry’s gross domestic product (GDP),partly due to the lack of entrepreneurial edu-cation and infrastructure in the region.

The Small Enterprise Development Agen-cy (Seda) now aims to encourage more entre-preneurial development within the WesternCape, with the launch of Seda Small Busi-ness Stars, a national business plan competi-

tion with a unique focus on entrepreneurialeducation at a provincial level.

The competition will be adjudicated by apanel recruited from top business develop-ment agencies and service providers. Thejudging process will identify 20 nationalbusiness idea winners and 20 existing busi-ness winners, all of whom will receive theirshare of more than R400 000 in cash, as wellas laptops and Seda business support to thevalue of up to R60 000 each.

Special prizes will also be presented to thebest woman entrepreneur, the best youth en-trepreneur, the best disabled entrepreneurand the best “job-creating” entrepreneur.

The competition is open to any South Afri-can citizen over the age of 18 with a businessidea or existing small business. Entries closeon 31 January, 2012. For more information,visit www.seda.org.za or follow Seda SmallBusiness Stars on Twitter or Facebook.

WELCOME BACK: Cape Town artist Lesley Charnock has returned fromthe Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris, having spent two months refiningher craft in the French capital. The birthplace of Monet, Matisse and De­gas amongst others, Paris has long been considered a centre of the artis­tic world. Since its opening in 1965, the Cité Internationale des Artshas hosted artists from around the globe. After her application was ac­cepted, Charnock was determined to take full advantage of the opportuni­ty to find new inspiration and diverse subject matter in the City of Light.Residing in the simple lodgings provided by the institute, she spent herdays painting, sketching, browsing and exploring her own approach tothe art form she loves. Charnock hosted a two­day open studio to exhibither sketches and paintings this past weekend, both those she considersa success and those she does not, at her gallery in Montebello.

Enter international ballet contestTHE closing date for applica-tions for the next Cape Town In-ternational Ballet Competition(CTIBC), which takes place inFebruary, is Monday 16 Janu-ary.

Readers spread Christmas joyMANY thanks to the readers of People’s Post whohave helped to fill care hampers for Aids orphans.

Hampers for 61 Masiphumelele and Ocean View or-phans were delivered to the children’s Christmas par-ty at the Masiphulelele library hall.

Since December 2000, the Catholic Social Communi-ty, together with the Catholic Women’s League andSt John’s Parish, have been putting together Christ-mas boxes for children who have lost their parentsto Aids.

They live mostly in informal housing, some withfoster families or extended families that are them-selves poor.

Some are looked after by elder brothers or sisters,themselves barely out of childhood. They strugglewith poverty, and with rejection due to superstitionand misunderstanding around the disease that tookaway their parents.

For more information about the Christmas Project,call Magda on 082 706 6375. Donations can also bedropped off at Penny Lane shop at Valleyland and StJohn Catholic Church in Fish Hoek (when open).

Climate strangeWHILE the outcome of the COP 17 negotia-tions has met with mixed reactions, the worldis increasingly aware of the devastating effectclimate change could have on our planet.

The conference resolution, the DurbanPlatform for Enhanced Action, encompassesa series of agreements that leaders of 197 na-tions have reached to reduce the emission ofgreen house gases and manage the impactthat climate change will inevitably have.

The level of green house gas emissionspresent in the atmosphere is higher than atany other time during the last 150 000 years.As this increases, so does the world’s temper-ature, which in turn has catastrophic effectson food security.

It has become increasingly clear that cli-mate change is no abstract thought, but a seri-ous threat to life as we know it. In South Afri-ca its effects may mean that rainfall decreasesand temperatures increase, thereby threaten-ing farming.

But despite the technical jargon around thesubject, the far reaching impact the averageperson can have on the preservation and lon-gevity of our species and home is certainlynot to be scoffed at.

Ironically,while thepoorprobably compar-atively generate the lowest carbon footprint,it is this very group – many of whom live inAfrica – who will bear the brunt of the effectsof climate change.

But what can the average man in the streetdo to prevent climate change? Use less fuel bychoosing a fuel-efficient car or use transportrequiring less fossil fuel such as trains, sub-ways, buses, car pools, walking and biking.

Buy efficient appliances that use less elec-tricity, reduce everyday electrical consump-tion. Arguably more importantly, we shouldall start talking about global warming, writeletters to local, regional and national mediato spread the message and thereby start amovement.

The way forward is clear, and the ball is inour court.

The real cause of accidentsFOLLOWING certain claims by a radiostation and a newspaper group, a studywas conducted to determine whether carsdriven with their headlights on duringthe daytime promoted road safety.

It was found that the use of headlightsin fact created a safety hazard: the beamsof light tended to distract drivers of on-coming vehicles. Nonetheless, the studyfound that:

. Best use of lighting to make cars morevisible was to light up the interior of thevehicle;

. Bright lighting was essential, prefera-bly 10 000 watts;

. Compact fluorescent light (CFL)bulbs were better because they use lesselectricity;

. Electricity could be provided by 20standard car batteries placed inside thevehicle.

Certain problems were identified, how-

ever. The CFL bulbs contained mercuryvapour which could be released in theevent of breakage.

Therefore, the study recommendedthat vehicle occupants should wear gasmasks.

Another potential problem was the pos-sibility of acid spills from the batteries;for example, if the vehicle swerved sud-denly or hit a bump in the road.

To prevent injury, all occupants shouldwear industrial protective clothing whichcovered the entire body except the face(the gas mask has the added benefit of pro-tecting the face).

The study was conducted by Prof Cra-zynski of the University of Upper Slova-kia

Conclusion: no amount of lighting canstop reckless or careless driving – the realcause of road accidents.CONCERNED MOTORISTS

Rocking the farmhouseTHE name Hog Hoggidy Hog

has been etched deep into theSouth African music scene.

It’s been over a decade of action-packed music, mischief and may-hem since the young hoglets firstblessed the decaying stage of thePurple Turtle with their debut per-formance. They have a few well re-ceived releases and a good numberof nationwide as well as Europeantours under their belt, havingshared the stage with top acts suchas Nofx, Mad Caddies and Lagwag-on. They may be somewhat moreprofessional, a bit more well knownand sounda lot tighter but it’s some-times still a struggle to keep singerGeorge Bacon’s clothes on.

The Rudimentals are an eight-piece ska/reggae band from Cape Town. The band’s re-

leases include two CDs, More Fire and SetIt Proper, and a live DVD/CD combo of the2007 Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens con-

cert. The band is signed to the UnitedKingdom based Moon Ska World dis-tribution label. It is one of a handfulof Cape Town reggae-influencedbands, and has been described as aSouth African institution in touristguides and on websites.

Both of these bands will be preform-ing on Saturday 17 December at theCape Farm House, junction of the M66and M65 at the bottom of Redhill Road,3 Km past Scarborough.

Tickets cost R60 for adults, R50 forstudents and free for children under12. The concerts kick off at 15:30 until18:00. For more information visit thewebsite at: www.capefarmhouse.co.za

‘Tallest man on earth’ in SAKRISTIANMATSSON, theSwedish sing-er songwriter, is a soft-spoken guy whostands somewhere around1,6m tall. Buton stage, he’s known as “The Tallest Manon Earth”, a name he’s earned with his“unforgettable live performances andone of the boldest, most captivating voic-es around”.

Following sell-out performances in theUK, Europe and Australia for his latestalbum tour “The Wild Hunt”, Matssonwill be coming to South African stagesfor the first time in February.

He will perform at two venues; first atthe CTICC in Cape Town on Friday 10February, and then in Johannesburg onSaturday 11 February at Joburg Theatre.

After releasing his album “ShallowGrave”, Matsson wrote and performedsongs on his second album “The WildHunt” in the months after touring withJohn Vanderslice and Bon Iver, garner-ing more fans along the way and rave re-views from the likes of Rolling StoneMagazine and Pitchfork, who praisedhim as “a natural-born folksinger, ear-nest, clever, and comforting”.

Matsson has often been compared toDylan and although his influences stillweave through some of his songs, hissound is undeniably authentic andunique. But it is Matsson’s passion on

stage that cuts deep into memory.The energy and raw emotion that

bleeds through all his performances ismesmerising.

He is a man with a story to tell and do-ing so with his exquisite music, unmis-takable gravelly voice, timeless melodiesand haunting lyrics, it is easy to see whyhe is called “The Tallest Man on Earth”.Tickets, between R275 and R350, areavailable via www.webtickets.co.za.

Women’s softball draws crowdsLYNN PRINS

TURFHALL stadium wasfilled to capacity for the first

time in years, for the opening ofthe Softball Junior Women’sWorld Championship (JWWC)on Wednesday 7 December.

People’s Post is the media sponsorof the JWWC.

The international guests were en-tertained by local traditional danc-es, and the SAPS marching band;followed by a game between SouthAfrica and Botswana, which SouthAfrica won 6-5.

Apart from SA showing goodcharacter on the field, locals alsoshowed how well prepared they canbe for world events.

With Africa and South Africahosting theJWWCfor the first time,there has been praise for the hard-working organisers, volunteersand security. International SoftballFederation President Don Porter ofUS said: “We are all very pleasedwith the facilities. The games havebeen great up to now and the beauti-ful weather has certainly been ex-cellent. The organisers are doing asterling job.”

Over the weekend South Africahad a battle, falling short of sealinganother win, but the support wasand still is growing as the days goby.

ISF President Porter commentedon South Africa’s performancesand said: “South Africa have madeimprovements since their last JW-WC four years ago, along withteams such as Russia, Puerto Rico,Brazil, Botswana, and Czech Re-public. For Puerto Rico, Brazil,South Africa, and Botswana, tomention a few, this has only beentheir second appearance, and it is

fantastic to see how the sport isgrowing, especially in Africa.”

People’s Post also spoke to SouthAfrica’s head coach, Lester Smith,asking about the positives he coulddraw from the tournament.

“In a number of areas we are notfar off other teams, and I can proud-ly say that our under-19 girls cancompete against any team,” saidSmith. When asked about the wayforward for South Africa, Smithsaid: “I think for SA to be truly com-petitive in softball, softball shouldbe seen as more than just a socialgame. Club and school level need toup their game and we definitelyneed to strengthen our pitching”.

ISF President Porter said: “It re-ally is hard to say who will be in the

final, because it depends on whogets into the play-offs.

The current champions, US, arestrong, Australia are good contend-ers, Canada have really playedsome great games and shown howgood they can be, as well as ChineseTaipei, and then the Japanese al-ways been the toughest competitorsfor US,” he added.

The tournament continues witheight games played daily from 10:30,and the last game at 19:30.

The final game takes place on Sat-urday 17 December.

Tickets cost R20 each and can bebought at the Computicket stand atthe field. South Africa plays NewZealand at 19:30, so be sure to getyour ticket.

TOKEN OF APPRECIATION: Yesterday, International Softball Federation Pres­ident Don Porter awarded Gert Bam, Director of Sport, Recreation and Ameni­ties, an historical Atlanta Olympic medal, as well as the ball that was usedin the Beijing Olympics.
