EVERYTHING but a pot of gold is foundat the end of the Rainbow Tavern.
At the pub in Albert Road, anti-social be-haviour, fighting, drinking on the pavementand rowdy patrons are some of the concernsstreaming in from the surrounding area.Shamiel Abbass, the chairperson for the
WoodstockCommunityOutreachForum,hasalready lodged numerous complaints withWoodstock police about the activities at thetavern.He says: “We are fully aware of the com-
plaints around this tavern and the forum hasattempted to address these matters with theowners of the pub, but they claim to knownothing.”In a recent Forum meeting, a clear indica-
tionwas given that RainbowTavern is a “ma-jor problem”, especially during the month of
Ramadan.Abbass adds that drunken patrons are
found to be moving through the area, knock-ing at every door requesting food.“This hashappenedwhenpeople are break-
ing their fast and its completely disrespectfultowards the Muslims in the community,”says Abbass.A nearby resident, who wishes to remain
anonymous, has reachedherwits’ end, as bat-tleswithdrunkenpatrons continue todisrupther evenings.“Many of these people are drunk first thing
in the morning. They are either fighting orurinating against your wall. This is ridicu-lous, man!” she fumes.She became more frustrated after a “mini
brawl”, as some drunken patrons wished notto be disturbed.The resident says: “They were passing my
house and making a huge noise throughoutthe night, the same group, and I took it upon
myself to approach them. But they weredrunk and of course they would not listen.”Another resident, Fasiegh Richards, has
had enough of the activities outside the tav-ern and is especially saddened by the thoughtof the pub bringing down the image of the ar-ea.Richards says: “Theareawasbeing cleaned
up so nicely and new businesses were start-ing to come in, making the area vibrant andalive.”“Then you get Rainbow Tavern, a place
where every drunken vagrant in Woodstockhangs out and a place where cheap wine iseasily accessible. Pathetic!”Shaun Andrews, another resident, is very
much aware of the ongoing problems at thetavern.During the evening, the pavement tavern
is packedwith “eager vagrants” itching to getdrunk.Andrews says: “The next time you see or
hear these drunks are during the early hoursof themorningwhen they are dragging them-selves through the streets.”Sergeant Hilton Malila, spokesperson for
the Woodstock Police Station, verifies thatpolice hadnot received thatmany complaintsabout the tavern.He says: “In the past, we had many prob-
lems with the tavern, but we can safely saythat there has not been a fine issued to theowners for non-compliance in a while.”However, police will continue to monitor
the tavern and encourages the community tolodge formal complaints at the station.Malila adds: “The community must be
aware that police can only act on complaintsreceived.“So filing these complaints at the station is
very important.”People’s Post visited the premises and at-
tempted to speak to the owners, but theywerenot at the building.

Dear reader,
It seems to be a time of things coming toan end; the London Olympics 2012, Ram-adan, cold fronts...The extinguishing of the Olympic flame
during the closing ceremony last night, sym-bolised the end of the world’s most spectacu-lar sporting event that, for the past 17 days,united 204 nations and captivated billions ofviewers.In the end, Team South Africa could stand
proud with an impressive medal count thatsecured us 25th place; makingit our most successful Olym-pics since readmission to in-ternational sport in Barcelonain 1992.Several factors made the
Games a success, including acountry united in passionatelyembracing this historic sport-ing event, creative collabora-tion, sheer hard work and thepivotal role played by the thou-sands of volunteers involved instaging a show of this magni-tude.With just days to go before
Eid-ul-Fitr (the festival of char-ity marking the end of Ramadan and cele-brated by Muslims worldwide), organisa-tions such as Nakhlistan Feeding Schemeare gearing up to feed thousands of poor fam-ilies.Last year, Nakhlistan cooked over 150 pots
of food for distribution to, among others,mosques and retirement homes and prisons.The ingredients were bought from fundsraised during Ramadan; the labour on thefreezingly cold night before Eidwas lovinglyprovided by volunteers.Events such as the Olympics, and altruis-
tic initiatives such as Nakhlistan’s cannotunfold with the same efficiencies and suc-cess were it not for volunteers who engage
in a spirit of charity, positivity and love forthe cause with which they identify.I have been blessed with the opportunity
to volunteer for a few years, and while mygoal was not to gain any reward from this,the joy and satisfaction I derived after a fewhours of lay counselling, outclassed evenmybest salary.The path to volunteering is not easy and
I first offered my services to a retirementhome in my neighbourhood – for all of oneday.After helping to serve lunch, chat to sever-
al elderly people, open a pack-et of Niknaks for one andgawking at a very young-look-ing retiredwoman, I grudging-ly acknowledged that I was ofno purpose. I did not return.My fault may have been thatinmypristine (at that time an-yway; I was much younger)mind, my vision of volunteer-ism extended to sitting on abench with the late afternoonsun streaming onto methrough a window, reading toan adorable granny in a prettyroom. Reality check!Not willing to admit defeat
though, I assessed my skill set and where Icould best impart value.This led me to lay counselling, some late
shifts after a full-time job in the media andinadvertently, a journey of self-healingthrough selfless deeds.As for the cold front, no amount of volun-
teering will sway what are clearly elementsbeyond our control.’Til next time, go wellConnectED is a weekly column by Peo-

NIGHT owls will be relieved to know thatadedicated shuttle service isnowrunningthe streets in order to avoid having drunkdrivers behind the wheel.
The Obs Party Shuttle was recentlylaunched and is a project endorsed by the Ar-rive Alive campaign.
Shuttle service pioneer, Hazel Walton, ex-plains that authorities are now forcefullycracking down on those choosing to drinkand drive.
Walton says: “It is vital that people partyresponsibly and there’s no better and moreaffordable way of doing that thanmaking useof the Obs Party Shuttle.”
The Shuttle operates on Friday and Satur-day nights, between 21:00 and 04:00, whichmakes a circuit aroundObservatory and thenpasses most venues between Observatoryand Long Street.
“We really would like to get the word outabout the pioneering initiative and we canonly make this work if people get to hearabout this, which could truly save lives,” shesays.
Student Thole Hilko, 20, a German volun-teer and a regular passenger on the shuttle,recommends the service.
“I think it’s cheap, convenient and comfort-able. The driver is reliable, trustworthy andpunctual,” he says.
Hilko adds: “The party shuttle is definitelyworth a try.”
Another regular user, Observatory resi-dent Martina van Wilkins, believes that theintroduction of the service in the area is longoverdue.
She is impressed with the shuttle, saying:“You actually feelmore comfortable knowingthat the service is available and you do nothave to hold back, but basically go out andenjoy yourself.”
Councillor PaddyChapple is in full support
of the shuttle service and believes it is a saferalternative for those wanting to go over thelimit. “There is now an alternative that hasbeen introduced, so people should use it andavoid drinking and driving,” he says.
He says that the Shuttle forms part of thePremier’s Safe Routes Project.
“Itwas very difficult getting permission forthe department, but the important thing isthat the service is now available and should
be used by the community,” says Chapple.The shuttle operateswith travel cards, cost-
ingR105 for seven tripswith each trip costingR15. To travel without the card, it will costR20. The travel card holder can also be usedto pay for another.
Anyone interested in using the service cancontact the driver,MohammedBazier, on 084957 7252, BB Moh 294EFF18 or email [email protected].

THE TIME of the yearfor the streets to befilled with a riot of col-our is fast approach-ing.
TheCape Townmin-strels are gearing upfor the 2013 season.Every minstrel troupeacross theMotherCityis now in the processof polishing theirtrumpets, tuning thelast of their chords onthe banjo and warm-ing up their voices.
Starting on 2 Janu-ary, minstrel troupeswill start off in the annual Road March,starting from the top of Keizergracht,moving through Darling, into Adderley,up Wale and ending off in Rose Streets.
For last year’s champions, the SantamDistrict Six Entertainers, “training nev-er stopped” and they believe they are al-readyaheadof themselveswherepractic-es are concerned.
Troupe owner, Malick Laattoe, says:“Our core focus is to retain the titles wehave clinched in all competing items andtighten the noose on those we lagged.”
The team acquired a professional Afri-kaans choral coach in order to up theirgame in the Afrikaans category.
This year, Santam District Six Enter-tainers has a vision to increase the “in-tensity of [their] competitiveness andraise the bar big time” when participat-ing in the Cape Minstrel Carnival.
Laattoe says: “The aim for this year’scarnival is greater community participa-tion, educating the masses coming intothe minstrel fold about the richness ofour minstrel heritage, culture and histo-ry and last but not least, the passion thatdrives us to be the best at our game.”
Troupes winning the minstrel carni-val’s biggest prize, the Highest PointsTrophy, earn the right to be called “Car-nival Kings”.
During last year’s competition, the
Carnival Kings walked away with 13 tro-phies comprising of first prizes for AdultDrum Major, Junior Combined Chorus,Group Song, English Combined Chorus,Afrikaans Moppie and English Moppie.
They also obtained second prizes forJunior DrumMajor, Junior Sentimentaland Minstrel Song.
Additionally, they received fourthprizes forGrandMarchPass, Exhibition,Best Board and a fifth prize for BestBand.
Retaining the status as “CarnivalKings” is the 2013 goal being set by Laat-toe,who says: “Wewould like to continuewherewe left off, to retain our title as car-nival champions and to wow the ‘klopse-loving mense’”.
The troupe has introduced some excit-ing elements for the new year, especiallywith regard to their Tweede Nuwe Jaarstreet parade procession.
Their “mega-harmonious” brass bandhas acquired some new instruments,guaranteeing a new and improved soundduring this year’s competition.
Certainly one of the biggest troupes inthe game, but the “Jingle Pack”, whichconsists of around 200 members, will belooking to once again add the flavour atthe head of the troupe.
“Rest assured, we have many more ac-es up our sleeves,” Laattoe laughs.

(B)oops-a-daisyBREASTFEEDING in public.You either think nothing of it –a mother is, after all, feeding aninfant. Or you frown upon it.Breastfeeding Week was fromWednesday 1 to Tuesday 2 Au-gust. People’s Post interns Luzu-ko Zini and Tarren-Lee Habel-gaarn spoke to readers and tookphotos.
ACCEPTABLE: There is nothingwrong with breastfeeding in public,says Melissa Lakay, who has herselfdone so with her own children. “It isnatural. I experienced it feeding myown children when they were babies.”
ON THE FENCE: GrahamNtshangasecan’t decide either way. “It is a50/50 thing. If a mother is dealingwith a difficult child then I guess shehas to, as long as it is done in a decent way.”
DISCREET: If done discreetly, thereshould be no problem, says Kyle Redman. “If the baby has to eat, theyhave to eat. As long as the mothersdon’t flash their boobs.”
AWKWARD: Jason Müller thinksbreastfeeding should not be done forpublic display. “It is a very privatething and is indecent to do in a placewhere everyone can see.”
COVER UP: Lisa Godard believesbreastfeeding in public can be veryuncomfortable, especially for otherpeople to see a mall. “They shouldhave designated areas for womenwho are breastfeeding.”

THE Kensington Home for the Aged facesa dark and gloomy future after its elec-tricity was cut due to lack of payment.
In arrears of around R718 000 with citycouncil, R160 000 with SARS and R14 000 withthe Department of Labour, the home contin-ues to serve 110 residents daily.Manager of the home, Reverend Brian
Beck, believes the home’s financial situationcan be turned around in the next fourmonths.Beck says: “I can turn things around if the
community can assist the home and only
once this has happened, can we start movingforward again.”In order to save the home, Beck urges the
community to undertake the daily provisionslike food, cleaning detergents and toiletries.The home’s short flow per annum is R462
000, but Beck says: “This is years of build upand nobody ever accepted that the home isheading into a financial problem.“Any business is governed by the flow of
incomeandyour cash flowandwhenyou lookat the annual shortfall per annum, it is veryscary.“I think it’s just weak financial manage-
ment.”At the moment, the home receives R295 000
a month from Social Services andmost of thefunds are spent on nursing during themonth,with the bulk going towards salaries. Thecentre spends R132 000 on nursing care alone.Beck was delighted when a local radio sta-
tion, 567 CapeTalk, lent a helping hand by ap-pealing to their listeners for help.Last Tuesday, the radio station visited the
home where they handed over food, TV sets,DSTV decoders, Pick n Pay clothing vouch-ers, tumble dryers, 50% off laundry services,indefinite DSTV subscription, connection ofTV sets by an installer, as well as the servicesof an accountant.Kieno Kammies from 567 Cape Talk says:
“For now, there is an immediate relief. The
residents of the home will have a restoredsense of dignity with their immediate needshaving been addressed last week.”The station’s “medium to long-term goal”
is to implement a sustainable plan throughproper structures and partnerships whichthey can replicate in other areas.However, putting aside his feelings of joy,
Beck still acknowledges that the home is introuble.“We need all the help we can get and al-
though some help has arrived, we still needto domore to improve our situation,” he says.Anybody interested in assisting or donat-
ing items to the Kensington Home for theAged can contact the home on0 021 593 2274.

POLICE are hunting down four suspectsfor robbing a supermarket in Kensing-ton.
On Monday at approximately 09:00, fourarmed men entered Superior Supermarketin 9th Street and approached the shop owner.Warrant Officer Ntombi Nqunqeka,
spokesperson for Kensington Police Station,says that the owner had been working on thecash register at the time.The owner was robbed of R600 in cash and
R1 000 in airtime vouchers.Nqunqeka says: “The suspects then asked
for the safe’s keys and demanded to be shownwhere the safe was hidden.”Five people, who were inside the shop at
the time, had their hands tied behind theirbacks with zip cords and were made to layon the floor.The suspects then tried to force open the
safe and broke the door handle in the proc-ess.Police believe they might have a slight
breakthrough, as the suspects were eating apacket of biscuits while robbing the busi-ness. Fingerprints were lifted from the pack-et left behind.All four suspects fled the scene in a white
Toyota Corolla towards an unknown direc-tion. No shots were fired during the robberyand no injuries were sustained.Anyone with information on the incident,
can contact the station on (021) 594 7021.

Brave the stormIF YOU don’t like the weather, wait for a fewminutes. This is a common refrain from peo-ple in coastal citieswhere citizens experienceany of the four seasons in a day.Seasonal weather conditions wreak havoc
in the Cape each winter.It includes rain storms which lead to flood-
ing, thunder and lightning which may sparkfires, gale-force winds which put seafaringvessels at risk, and declining temperatures.This is a worldwide phenomenon.In North Korea, more than 212 000 people
have reportedly been displaced by floodswhich have forced the country to appeal forfood aid. Thedeath toll is undetermined.Hun-dreds are missing.A similar tale of despair unfolds in the Phil-
ippine capital,Manila, where torrential rainshave swept awayhouses, destroyed roads andcaused landslides.In a city with some 15 million people, resi-
dents have sought escape from the ragingfloods by climbing onto rooftops waiting forrescuers. In America, citizens live in fear oftornadoes, earthquakes and floods.Whocould forget thehorror thatwasHurri-
caneKatrinawhen about 80%ofNewOrleanswas left under water?Countries, including South Africa, have to
have a back-up plan. While not affected onsuch a grand scale, Capetonians are notspared Mother Nature’s heavy hand.On the Cape Flats, each year without fail,
backyard dwellers and people living in infor-mal settlements face the torrent of rainstormslashing their makeshift dwellings.Imagine stepping out of bed and into a freez-
ing river running through your house. Imag-ine the despair of huddling to stay warm, orwaking up to find your house ablaze after acandle tipped over? How do you face startingover when you already had so little?Capetonians with little material wealth to
spare should consider those invaluable re-sources: time and expertise.Active volunteering is an option more
should consider.
. I find it a bit hard to believe theowners of the two derelict houses inChiappini Street, Bo-Kaap couldnot be found. According to myknowledge, an owner needs to payrates – whether they buy a house orapiece of land fromthe council –un-less they are not paying.

. Thank you for putting me onthe front page ofPeople’s Post (“Tox-ic Talent”). I appreciate it so much.- Lance Landore
. Lowering alcohol limits to stopDUI (“One for the road”, People’sPost)?They should first give us proper
public transport sowe don’t have todrive after a few drinks! Taxis aretoo expensive.

I READwith interest the article in People’s Post(“Army to train guards”).That must be a world first.Anywhere in the world, like in the United
Kingdom and Germany, the Railway TransportPolice or Railway Police are a separate policeforce from city or national police units.They train their own personnel for the pur-
pose of protecting property aswell as the public,and enforce the normal daily activities whichtake place at railway stations, including attend-ing to and investigating train accidents.The army is trained to defend the country in
a war, whereas the police are trained mainly incombating crime, and to use deadly force onlywhen necessary.
This is the difference between the two.Having travelled in Europe and studying and
observing how they operate, I strongly suggestthe government creates a ‘gendarmerie’ from
the ranks of the military police.The gendarmerie, which is a military police
unit, is throughout Europe – one will find themin France, Belgium, Portugal, Spain, Greeceand in Italy, where it is known as the elite Cara-binieri.In Chile they are known as the Carabineiros
and in Canada as the Royal Canadian MountedPolice.These units are also the first line of defence
of their country, much as the South African Po-lice Force was before 1994.Taking the crime situation as it presently
stands in South Africa, I would say this type ofmilitary police has become necessary.
It is one that will help combat crime and keepeveryone else involved in check, minimisingcorruption.ANDRE MARTINAGLIALetter shortened - Ed
SA needs elite military force
ONEcanunderstandKoertMeyer’s distressabout a convicted double murderer, whomhe apparently knew, being sentenced to behanged to death (“Death penalty is no solu-tion”).Did he consider the pain and distress of
the relatives and friends of the two mur-dered people?Questions he and readers can usefully an-
swer around the death penalty are as fol-lows:
. Is he aware that since 1990, when themoratorium on the death penalty was intro-
duced, the over 200 000 South Africans whohave been murdered would fill the GreenPoint Stadium more than four times?
. Does he think if the courts had the free-dom of the option to impose a death sen-tence, that the number of over 200 000 mur-ders would have been lower?
. Is he aware that amurder accused facesarrest, a right to a bail application, a fairtrial with legal representation and the rightto cross examine witnesses, the right of ap-peal to two higher courts and then to thePresident? The murdered person was given
none of these rights and privileges by theperson who murdered him or her.
. Is he aware that before 1990 less than5% of the people who were charged withmurder actually received a death sentenceand only then after the court heard plead-ings in mitigation and appeals?
. Does he believe that communitieswould be less likely to administer “bushkillings” and take the law into their ownhands if they knew that murderous crimi-nals could face a death sentence?GRAHAM MCINTOSH

THE fate of a national table tenniscoach – suspended for bringing thecode “into disrepute” –will be decidedtoday.
Former WP, Boland and national coachGreg Naik has hired a lawyer to help himoverturn a two-year ban which, heclaims, was illegal and goes against theWP Table Tennis constitution.
The Western Province Sport Counciland the Department of Cultural Affairsand Sport have been forced to step intofray.
The two provincial bodies will meetwith Naik and Kelvin Smith, actingchairperson of WP Table Tennis, to makea final decision on Naik’s suspension to-day.
Naik, also the chairperson and founderof Boundary Table Tennis Club, in Bonte-heuwel, was suspended last month afterWP Table Tennis brought chargesagainst him.
However, Naik claims the charges areunsubstantiated and the hearings wereunconstitutional.
“The WP people have always been onmy case saying I have a strange mannerof running my club, but the results arecoming in,” says Naik.
“Every year I can show we have a newSA player from the club. They have beentrying to get rid of me for years.”
Naik further claims the association hasnot supported Boundary Table Tennis,despite the club having produced severaltop provincial and national players.
He also questioned the manner inwhich financial resources were distrib-uted.
“Every year there is development mon-ey coming to the province, but not a cent
comes to this club. Yet we produce the re-sults,” says Naik.
He adds the Lotto gave about “R700 000for equipment” including 70 tables, bagsand ball machines which were distribut-ed among the clubs. “When the equip-ment came they gave us only four tables.”
He says other clubs which have failedto produce quality players have receivedmuch more.
Theo Cogill, Luke Abrahams, Alishavan Rooyen and Jade Sasman are justsome of the top players who started atBoundary Table Tennis Club.
All four have been in the top three plac-es of the South African table tennis rank-ings, and Sasman and Cogill also wonbronze medals at the African Champion-ships.
Naik suspects his suspension is due tolate paying of competition entry fees forBoundary’s players, but adds this is nota valid reason.
WP Table Tennis, however, remainedtight-lipped about Naik’s suspensionahead of the meeting.
Hasie Ismail, a WP Table Tennis execu-tive committee member and chairpersonof the Livingston-Kenilworth Table Ten-nis Club, confirmed the suspension, butrefused to comment on any of Naik’sclaims.
“He was found guilty by an independ-ent disciplinary tribunal of bringing ta-ble tennis into disrepute,” says Ismail.
“The general meeting imposed a sen-tence of a two-year suspension, with theadded factor that if he transgressed with-in those two years, a further two yearswill be added. And if he transgresses asecond time he will be suspended forlife.”
Speaking to People’s Post Smith con-firmed the meeting, but would not elabo-rate on the details.

LIAM MOSES
CAPE TOWN’S most anticipated youthfootball tournament, theEngenKnockoutChallenge, kicks-off this weekend.
The tournament, now in its ninth year, willsee under-17 teams across the metropole faceoff for the highly-coveted trophy and a heftycash prize.Tournament director Gilbert Kruger says
the tourney, of which People’s Post is the me-dia sponsor, was originally started by SantosFC andEngen, after the realisation that therewere no under-17 tournaments.Although the local football landscape has
now changed, and new youth tournaments
seem to start each year, Kruger says theChal-lenge still plays a major role in developingyoung players because of its professional set-up.“This tournament is organised and played
on professional level. It’s played on a levelthat these players don’t get to play at everyweek,” says Kruger.“It gives them a tremendous boost just be-
cause of theway the tournament is organised,with the professional Premier Soccer League(PSL) referees taking part.“Here is an under-17 player and he is being
treated as a professional; we obviously wantto start grooming them to show them what itis like when they move into professionalranks.”
This weekend, teams from across CapeTown will get their first taste of that profes-sional atmospherewhen theybattle theirwaythrough the playoffs and for one of the 16spots available in the final round.The opening rounds of the tournament will
takeplaceat variousvenuesacross thePenin-sula, while the finals will be played at theStephen Reagan Sports Complex inWestridge, Mitchell’s Plain from Friday 28 toSunday 30 September.With prize money of R10 000 and tons of
prizes up for grabs, the competition shouldbe tough.“It’s the only tournament where you play
and every team either wins money or theywin training equipment for their club,” says
Kruger.“It’s also the only tournament where the
team that plays in the final and the team thatfinished last play the same amount of games.Each team plays ten games.” Last year, theAjax Cape Town under-17 side were crownedchampions, after they defeated 2010 champi-ons ASD Academy from Claremont 2-1 in thefinal. The third-placed side was Old MutualAcademy and Kensington United finishedfourth.The Engen Knockout also takes a place in
Bloemfontein, Durban, Johannesburg andPort Elizabeth, and in 2011 those tourna-ments were won by Harmony Academy,Cherrians FC, Orlando Pirates FC and Buffa-lo City Soccer School respectively.
