‘Community hero’ laid to restTAURIQ HASSEN

YAZEED “JOEY” LAWRENCE (70) aman described as a “great friend,

neighbour, soccer coach and local hero”in the Woodstock community, has passedaway.

Lawrence suffered a fatal heart attackwhilst training his under-9 Queens Park soc-cer team at the Queens Park Soccer Field onFriday 1 July.

Lawrence was not only well known for per-formance on the field, but also played a majorrole in the upliftment of the local soccer club.

The determined former coach was carriedto his final resting place from his UpperWoodstock home on Saturday 2 July, withhundreds of people, in-cluding former coaches,players and residents, at-tending the funeral.

Lawrence’s wife, Fouzia,could not believe so manypeople knew her husband,and was shocked when sheheard that between 700 and800 people attended the fu-neral.

“He was a wonderfulhusband, a great man andhis whole life revolvedaround soccer.

“I never attended any ofhis games, but could notbelieve that many of thepeople at the funeral hemet through soccer,” saysthe soft spoken Fouzia.

Lawrence trained anumber of high-profile players such as VascoDa Gama player, Bradley August, former Por-to and Bafana Bafana striker, Benny McCa-rthy, current Maritzburg United captain,Fadlu Davids, former Orlando Pirates andnow Golden Arrows star, Katlegho Mashegoand Maccabi Haifa in Israel star, BevanFransman.

Lawrence’s son, Ezzat, boasted about his fa-ther’s achievements, saying everythingabout his life revolved around soccer, wheth-er training players one-on-one or ensuringthat the senior and junior teams had traininggrids.

“It’s very hard to describe my father, buthe was very community-orientated and al-ways cared about developing soccer in thecommunity,” says Ezzat.

According to Ezzat, Lawrence was alsoheavily involved in coaching street childrenfrom The Haven Night Shelter in Woodstock.

“He always made time for people who real-ly needed it, and he was simple and straightforward, but believed in practising what youpreached,” says Ezzat.

Lawrence started his playing career forPretoria Sundowns, now known as MamelodiSundowns, at the age of 17.

He then moved to Orlando Pirates, wherehe played amongst the likes of Scara Sono,Kaizer Motaung and many other greats fromthat era.

He also played a majorrole in assisting his friend,Motaung, in forming theKaizer 11, known today asKaizer Chiefs.

Later in his career, Law-rence moved to Cape TownSpurs, known now as AjaxCape Town.

Amongst his list ofachievements, Lawrencecoached the “dominant”Hellenic junior teams fromthe mid 90s to win five Bay-hill Metropolitan PremierCup titles.

“In one day he would doso many things – in themorning a coach, the after-noon an administrator andmost importantly in theevening, my dad,” says Ez-

zat.Rashaad Marinos, former coach and “arch

rival” to Lawrence, was saddened by thenews, and still couldn’t believe his “old pal”was gone.

“We had a great relationship off the field,always phoning each other for advice andstuff, but on the field, there was a great rival-ry, which we both took very seriously,” saysMarinos.

He described Lawrence as being “hard-working, discipline crazy and a fitness freakwho carried a big heart and always caredabout others”.

Speaking to People’s Post, Marinos strug-gled to hold back the tears.

“He was very dedicated to his sport, andthat is how many people will remember him.

“He tried to change the face of that soccerclub singlehandedly, and I really think hesucceeded in making these boys believe theycan be stars on and off the field.”

Former ward councillor and local resident,Cedric Thomas, said about Lawrence’s pass-ing: “That communityhas lost a sporting iconand soccer legend, who has done so much forthe community and will be remembered forthat.”

Thomas said Lawrence played a major rolein youth development in the area, and alsoassisted in changing the image of the localsoccer club.

“We have lost an important person, espe-cially where communication between the

club and council is concerned. We are alldeeply saddened by this,” says Thomas.

Queens Park Soccer Club president, AdamAlexander, explained that when the news ar-rived, youngsters cried “continuously”.

“It was a great honour to have a man likeMr Lawrence at the club.

“Everything he did was just brilliant,” saysAlexander.

The Queen’s Park soccer club hopes to con-tinue the legacy left by Lawrence, with theestablishment of the Yazeed Football Acade-my for the youth.

Cape Town looks forward to Mandela DayCAPE TOWN will be celebratingMandela Day on Monday 18 July,with various events and actions,as well as a fundraising event atthe City Hall on Saturday 16 July.

To honour the life and times ofNelson Mandela, a huge Madibamural canvas with 67 celebrityhandprints and autographs, wo-ven together in the pattern andcolours of the South African flag,will be auctioned to local and in-ternational buyers.

Celebrities are expected at theevent, where other valuable mem-orabilia donated by them will alsogo on auction. Executive mayor,Alderman Patricia de Lille, says:“Cape Town is proud to honourMr Mandela as our Freeman, tocelebrate Mandela Day, and his

life and times. His immense con-tribution to peace and reconcilia-tion is an inspiration, not only toSouth Africans, but the entireworld.

“We also respect his humility inasking us not to focus on him asan individual, but to continue do-ing good and helping people in apractical way. “All of us mustgive what we have in terms ofmeans, talents and time. The Cityof Cape Town offers this canvaswith the handprints of many whomake a difference, lead and con-tribute to the continuation of MrMandela’s life and times. Thisevent is Cape Town’s contributionto raise funds for deserving caus-es and areas of need.”

The canvas project was started

during the 2010 World Cup, whenseveral dignitaries andcelebritiesvisited Cape Town, and attendedmatches at the Cape Town Stadi-um. Western Cape Premier HelenZille, then-mayor Dan Plato, andAmerican R&B superstar, R Kel-ly, were the first to make theirhandprints on the canvas.

Others who participated includ-ed Archbishop Desmond Tutu,Prince Albert of Monaco, golfinglegend, Gary Player, London may-or, Boris Johnson, US footballstar, Reggie Bush, US TV person-ality, Kimora Lee Simmons, Hol-lywood star, Djimon Hounsou,singer Danny K, members of La-dysmith Black Mambazo, Ger-man football star, Jurgen Klins-mann, actress Vanessa Haywood,

former Springbok, Chester Wil-liams, former director-general inthe presidency, Professor JakesGerwel, Bafana Bafana player,Steven Pienaar, musician JimmyDludlu, Proteas captain, GraemeSmith, World Cup-winningSpringbok captain, Francois Pi-enaar, publisher Jane Raphaely,property mogul, Pam Golding andSpringbok Bryan Habana.

South Africans are requested tocelebrate Mandela Day, to helpchange the world for the better, asMandela did for more than 67years.

Take it awayTONY ROBINSON

SUSTAINABILITY has become one ofthose overused but little understood

words. We know what it means when envi-ronmentalists use it, but there is also socialand economic sustainability – and that iswhere we run into trouble.

One can see the problemclearly in Green Point, wherethe City of Cape Town was bul-lied into building a magnifi-cent stadium by Fifa and thegovernment. The problem isthat it is in the wrong place,but Fifa did not care and thegovernment did not under-stand.

Professor David Dewar, agreat town planner, said at thetime that a better site would benear the Koeberg interchangejust north of Hartleyvale. Hepointed out that the area waswell located for transport linksand that the stadium would be-come a catalyst for further de-velopment.

Even I could see the problem and the CapeTimes published my letter in support of a stadi-um in the old Culemborg railway goods yards.The point I made was that stadiums should bein business areas because the transport systemis already focused on them, games always takeplace outside business hours, and the vastamount of space under the grandstands can thenbe used for commercial purposes.

I pointed out that the new Chelsea stadium atStamford Bridge in London had shops and hotelsbuilt under the stands. The result was a propertyinvestment that worked seven days a week.

The fact that soccer stadiums in Europe,which draw crowds of 50 000 paying spectatorsa week for three quarters of the year, have foundit necessary to bring in commercial tenants andsponsors should have told us something.

Professor Dewar’s plan could have exploited

all these commercial opportunities – and it hadthe additional advantage of being closer to thespectators.

The City, unlike Fifa or the government, didhave some understanding of the mistake it wasmaking, for it described the Culemborg optionas “anopportunity lost” andwent aheadwith theGreen Point folly.

Green Point is all wrong. Nocommercial development ispermitted so the stadium is ut-terly dependent on incomefrom sports and concerts. Thesoccer clubs can’t afford to useit and professional rugby is notinterested. And it is a blot on aniconic skyline.

It should also have been obvi-ous from the start that therewould be little incentive for WPRugby to uproot itself from avery good and paid-for stadiumin order to pay rent at the soc-cer palace.

But the stadium has beenbuilt and we will be paying forit for many years to come.Maintenance costs will rise as

it ages and it will prove to be a bigger disasterthan the Good Hope Centre, which, even in itsheyday, never produced enough rent to pay thecleaning staff.

All this explains why a lot of people believethat the cost effective solution is demolition.Yes,it would be a huge waste, but can we afford tokeep it? The City will need increasing amountsof money to subsidise the MyCity buses and thecommuter rail service which it plans to takeover and run. And that is very much more im-portant than a stadium used a dozen times a yearfor events that could be staged elsewhere.

The simple truth is that the stadium is unsus-tainable and we have to face up to the fact. Wewere conned by Fifa, an organisation that hasnow been exposed as rather unsavoury. We werebullied and blackmailed into building it in thewrong place, and the sooner we are rid of it thebetter.

Providing smiles for the futureFOR one out of every 750 children inAfrica and South Africa, smiling is anact not connected to fun, but ratherpain and difficulty, due to them beingborn with a facial deformity such as acleft pallet or lip.

Operation Smile South Africa (OS-SA) was established in 2006 with thesole objective to put smiles back onchildren with facial deformities byproviding free re-constructive sur-gery. Two South African artists, pian-ist Ster (Sigrun Paschke) and visualartist Lee Molenaar have come togeth-er to raise funds for OSSA.

Ster relates very well to these pa-tients and fully understands the neces-sity of these operations, as she wasborn with a cleft pallet and lip.

In order to raise these funds Ster willundertakea tourof SouthAfrica,madepossible by the Distell Foundation,with her well-known production “Sterin the Dark”. Born without eyes, Sterplays her own compositions, in thedark. These compositions are linkedwith a soundtrack of poetry by Dutchsinger/songwriter, Stef Bos.

When Molenaar heard of this uniqueproduction and initiative he offered todonate one of his favourite paintingsto be auctioned off.

Bidding will be done in secrecy afterevery performance. The painting willgo to the highest bidder of all eight

shows and the total amount donated toOSSA. A percentage of ticket salesfrom the nine shows will also be donat-ed to OSSA.

Truckerscause driversproblemsTAURIQ HASSEN

VOORTREKKER ROAD is heavily-used by trucks carrying containers,but these trucks are seemingly abus-ing the traffic laws, causing concernsfor many road users.

These large trucks can be seen parkedin the left hand laneof the road,withmostdrivers waiting to enter the drop-off facil-ities in Salt River.

The facilities only allow for one truckto enter the site at a time, which forcesthe drivers to use the road as alternativeparking.

But this creates several traffic prob-lems and danger for other road users, be-cause many of these drivers swerve to theleft hand side and park without indicat-ing.

Melany Carter contacted People’s Posttwo days after she had collided with theback of a truck, with the driver showingno signs of “remorse”.

She explained that on Monday 27 Juneshe had been travelling down Voor-trekker Road behind the truck, when “allof a sudden” he pulled over, forcing herto go screeching into the rear end of thetruck.

“I know of many other people who havecomplained about this, and the driversdon’t care because their trucks do not getdamaged in the end,” says Carter.

Another driver and business owner inthe area, Hanief Abrahams, said that al-though the trucks are forced to visit thearea, alternative parking spaces shouldbe used.

“They just stand there sometimes, andpeople have to swerve around them andthis road is heavily used, but nobody hasever tackled this issue, and I think peoplehave just become used to seeing this,which is wrong,” says Abrahams.

He added that his business had been op-

erating for around 22 years in Voor-trekker Road, and he had witnessed sev-eral accidents involving these trucks.

Last year he witnessed the death of ataxi driver and three people who diedwhen a truck “rushed out” of one of thesmall avenues into the road.

“No damage was done to the truck, asthe taxi slipped underneath the contain-er, killing those four people and this willgodownasbeinganaccident, butnothingwill be done to the driver,” says Abra-hams.

However, principal inspector of theCity of Cape Town’s Traffic Services forthe area, Herbert Mangale, could not con-firm if the accident had taken place in thearea.

A booking clerk at the drop-off facility,who wished to remain anonymous, saidaround 20 to 30 trucks visit the facilitydaily.

He added that no more than threetrucks are allowed into the site, whichforces other drivers to wait outside.

“They are required to drop off theircontainers and then move off. Some ofthem take a bit longer because they arecarrying bigger loads, but that is how itnormally works at these drop-off facili-ties,” says the clerk.

Mangale says the trafficdepartmenthas already implemented traffic signsand red lines on the road, restrictingthese drivers from parking on theroad or blocking off the driving lanes.

“The problem with that is the driv-ers are seemingly vandalising thesesigns – imagine a large truck againstthose tiny signs – but that is the prob-lem we are faced with.”

.

Customer care for communitiesTHE City of Cape Town has installed 17 Free-Call lines in outlying areas and disadvantagedcommunities in Cape Town, and a further 20lines are set to be connected by the end of July.

Many informal settlements, including somewhere there is no Telkom infrastructure, willbenefit from these new lines.

“The purpose of the FreeCall lines is to im-prove service delivery by increasing access tothe City’s Call Centre. We are extending thenetwork of FreeCall telephones to areas wherelow volumes of service complaints and re-quests are currently being registered,” saidthe City’s Mayoral Committee Member forCorporate Services, Alderman Demetri Qual-ly.

The FreeCall lines can be used to contact theCity for various inquiries, and service re-quests such as account inquiries, refuse col-lection, illegal dumping, water leaks, sewerblockages, street lights out, pot holes and dam-

aged roads.A Call Centre agent will respond to queries,

and where further action is required by a par-ticular service department, the complaint orrequest will be logged by means of a servicerequest. The customer will be provided witha reference number for follow-up purposes.

The pilot phase of this project was launchedin July 2009, when four FreeCall lines were in-stalled in City facilities in Strand, Lwandleand Khayelitsha.

A further 13 lines have been installed inHousing offices, libraries or halls.

The additional 20 lines are being installedin Uitsig, Leonsdale, Langa, Bonteheuwel, Gu-gulethu, Nyanga, Khayelitsha, Factreton,Kensington, Macassar, Grassy Park,Masiphumelele, Athlone, Gordon’s Bay,Woodstock and Maitland Garden Village.

Shoes for city homelessTHE Cape Town Central Improvement Dis-trict (CCID) recently presented 500 pairs ofmen’s shoes to various charities workingwith homeless people in the central city.

Tasso Evangelinos, COO of the CCID, saidhe hoped the shoes could provide extra com-fort and dignity for some of the city’s mostvulnerable.

“The CCID is constantly looking for waysto be proactively involved in programmesthat contribute to caring for those who liveat the margins of our society.”

The CCID’s social development manager,Pat Eddy, says Capetonians and city busi-nesses can be an important part of the solu-tion. “We are asking people to be aware thatgiving a handout to the homeless is merelya contributor to an ongoing existence ofhand-to-mouth living.

Solidarity for the animalsCAPE TOWN’S animal welfare or-ganisations have joined forces tocreate the Western Cape AnimalWelfare Forum – an umbrella bodythat will speak for, advocate andlobby on behalf of the member or-ganisations.

At a meeting held at the AnimalRescue Organisation’s Headquar-ters in Ottery on Thursday 23 June,it was collectively decided by thosepresent to formalise and better reg-ulate the activities of thepreviouslyinformally constituted Animal Wel-fare Forum.

In doing so, the organisationhopes to create a unified, collectivevoice for Cape Town’s animals – bythose groups dedicated to theirwell-being and protection.

Members of the Animal WelfareForum include the Cape of GoodHope SPCA (CoGH SPCA), AnimalRescue Organisation (ARO), Ani-mal Anti-Cruelty League (AACL),

Animal Welfare Society Stellen-bosch (AWSS), Animal Welfare So-ciety Helderberg (AWSH), The Em-ma Animal Rescue Society(TEARS), The Cart Horse Protec-tion Association, Mdzananda Ani-mal Clinic, Township Animal Res-cue (TAR), African Tails, Animal Is-sues Matter (AIM) and Aniwell.

“The forum is made up of like-minded animal welfare organisa-tions , which represent thousandsof South Africans whose supportenables these individual organisa-tions to make a substantial differ-ence in the lives of thousands of ani-mals.

“We have come together as onebody, as we are jointly concernedabout pet over-population and theimportance of sterilisation, the des-perate need for veterinary careservices to impoverished communi-ties, and how to maximise the useof our scarce resources whilst not

detracting from each member’s in-dividual identity and brand,” saysAnimal Welfare Forum chairper-son, Dr Yvonne Robson.

All the partners agreed to respectone another’s differences and tosubscribe to a pre-determined set ofprinciples and standards, whichwill be regulated and governed byan elected chairperson, who willserve an annual term.

It is hoped that by formalising theactivities of this umbrella body,other similarly-minded organisa-tionswill joinandstrengthen the fo-rum’s voice and influence.

“The Animal Welfare Forum willdevelop its own identity, aims andobjectives, which will dove-tailwith the activities of its existingand future partners, and will in noway dilute their identity, brand orwield undue influence over eachpartner’s core business activity orethos,” Robson says.

Education is key to prevent more sufferingTERESA FISCHER

THE Cape of Good Hope (CoGH)SPCA is still trying to trace aMitchell’s Plain family whose pitbulls recently gave birth to a lit-ter of 10 puppies, and who do notwant to sell the dogs.

The Abrahams family was fea-tured in a daily newspaper article,with photographs of them togetherwith the puppies (“Threats afterfamily refuse to sell pit bull pups”,Cape Times, Wednesday 29 June.)

According to the article, theyhave been threatened by membersof the community for refusing tosell the puppies. The family saysthey fear the dogs will be used indog fights if they sell them.

CoGH SPCA spokesperson,Lamees Martin, says the organisa-tion is still awaiting contact detailsof the family

Martin says: “We would also liketo discuss and educate the familyabout sterilisation to prevent anyfurther litters of puppies beingborn.”

She says animals would not beconfiscated unless they are neglect-ed or abused in terms of the AnimalProtection Act.

“The key is education and infor-mation,” says Martin, who addsthat with the new animal bylawsthat are being finalised, it will be-come unlawful for people who arenot registered breeders to continueto allow litters to be born.

“There are so many dogs outthere, in shelters, just waiting pa-tiently for loving homes,” she says,adding that it is irresponsible to al-low animals to breed indiscrimi-

nately. She also appeals to membersof the public to come forward andadvise them of any dog fighting ac-tivities “so that we may investigateand take action wherever neces-sary”.

Meanwhile, emotions ran highlast week in Sweet Home Farm, aninformal settlement near Philippi,after a three-year-oldboy,wasalleg-edly pulled from his home andkilled by a pack of dogs.

Angry residents retaliated bystoning and beating to death twodogs thought to be involved in theattack – although the CoGH SPCAsays post mortems carried out thedogs revealed only traces of rice,chicken and beetroot in the dogs’stomach contents.

According to the CoGH SPCA thedogs choked to death on their ownblood following the beatings andkickings.

Together with the Animal RescueOrganisation (ARO) and AnimalWelfare Philippi, the SPCA has sofar removed 156 dogs, which weresurrendered by their owners.

Efforts to humanely remove un-wanted animals and encourageowners to admit their dogs for steri-lisation will continue.

The CoGH SPCA says the commu-nity’s support would be greatly ap-preciated.

It says: “Not only to help keep itsinspectors in the field, but if a con-tribution pays for a dog to be steri-lised, you’ll be playing a very realpart in turning this tragic situationaround.”

According to the organisation,despite extreme poverty, manyhouseholds in the community haveup to 10 dogs, which are undernour-

ished, unsterilised and lack humanaffection and care.

Many of the dogs lead a feral ex-istence, roaming the township scav-enging for food.

“We think that neglect and star-vation may be the reason the dogsattacked, although we are stillawaiting the results of the police in-vestigation,” said SPCA inspector,Moyo Ndukwana.

At a community meeting on Sat-urday, the SPCA and the City ofCape Town’s Law Enforcement de-partment managed to convince res-idents to restrict the number ofdogs per household to two; to collarand identify each owned animal;and to allow their animals to besterilised by the animal welfaregroups involved in the crisis.

Breakthrough intheft out of motorvehicle casesTAURIQ HASSEN

THE arrest of a 28-year-old man pro-vided the major breakthrough policeneeded in their outstanding theft outof motor vehicle cases in Woodstock.

Woodstock Police Station had been ex-periencing a slight increase in thenumber of cases being reported aroundChamberlain Street.

Sergeant Hilton Malila, spokespersonfor the Woodstock Police Station, ex-plained that during a “concentratedcrime prevention patrol, officers noticeda man sitting behind the wheel of aparked VW Golf in Chamberlain Street.

“The officers immediately stopped thepatrol vehicle, and before the man couldget out of the vehicle, the police memberscaught him in the act,” says Malila.

During the searchingof the suspect, po-lice recovered a radio tape and speakersthat were found in a packet in a back-pack.

“All the items were returned to theowner, and police once again want tosend out a warning to criminals that op-erate within the Chamberlain,Saulsbury, Balfour, Palmerston and The

AvenueStreets, thatwehavedoubledourvisibility in those areas,” says Malila.

“When we arrest you, we will makesure that your bail is opposed, and wewill link you to previous theft out of mo-tor vehicle cases that were reported inthat block.” The suspect is currently inpolice custody and will appear in theCape Town Magistrate’s Court tomorrowon charges of theft out of motor vehicles.

. Two suspects were arrested by Wood-stock police for being in possession of sto-len clothing to the value of R15 000.

Police acted swiftly on information re-ceived from the public of possible stolenproperty at a flat in Bromwell Street.

On Saturday 2 July, at approximately21:00, police noticed two men carryingblack bags who ran away once they spot-ted.

“Police officers chased after the men,who were later arrested close by, and po-lice recoveredbrandnameclothing to thevalue of R15 000,” says Malila.

The confiscated clothing still displayedthe price tags of the retailers.

The suspects, aged 26 and 16, are dueto appear in the Cape Town Magistrate’sCourt today on charges of possession ofstolen property.

Feel like naming your own hood?TAURIQ HASSEN

A “NAME YOUR HOOD” initiative waslaunched at the Freeworld Design

Centre inCapeTownlastweek,whichwillsee Cape Town being “reclaimed” by itsresidents.

Through the project, members of the publicwill be given the opportunity to suggestnames for their respective areas, which couldmake navigating around Cape Town muchless complicated.

People’sPost attended the launchonThurs-day 30 June, where a few high profile namesincluding television presenter, Colin Mossand Just Jinger’s lead singer, Ard Matthews,were among the crowd.

Bruce Good, managing di-rector for “Name Your Hood”,was excited to see the projectfinally being unveiled to thepublic.

“This is an opportunity forCapetonians to reclaim theirCity, and through the project,make moving through CapeTown so much easier.”

He says names such as CityBowl, Woodstock, Observato-ry and Oranjezicht will not beremoved, but the suggestednames will basically become a“trend amongst the community”.

“People will be able to say that their socialclub or hangout spots are in these neighbour-hoods and it will make them proud, becauseit works in many other countries across theglobe,” says Good.

Good recently returned from New York,where he did some research on the projectand felt that a “legible city” needs to be creat-ed.

The project drew inspiration from coun-tries such as New York which has neighbour-

hood’s such as “Tribeca”, “Soho” and “TheBronx”. London has “Mayfair” and Sydneyhas “Bondi”.

Mokena Makeka, managing director forMakeka Design Lab, was placed in charge ofdividing the map of the Cape Town area into “distinctive neighbourhoods”.

“This is an opportunity for the public tocreate a space of their own, something theycan refer to as their neighbourhood or hoodlike in America,” says Makeka.

The process was rolled out through theCentral Business District yesterday (Monday4 July) when “Name Your Hood” handed outflyers to shops, pedestrians, train and bus sta-tions.

According to Good, this is an attempt togenerate as much interest in the project, but

stressed that areas names willstay the same. The project basi-cally allows the community toprovide their own personalnames that perfectly identifytheir areas.

“The original names will re-main, but with the names pro-vided by the public, it will givethe public the opportunity tocreate their own spaces, whichis really exciting,” says Good.

Mariette du Toit-Helmbold,CEO of Cape Town Tourism, wasproud to be a part of this “excit-

ing” project, saying: “This is something newfor Cape Town, and we must take full advan-tage of this opportunity, because it reshapesour communities and gives it a sense of per-sonal ownership, something the public cansay they are proudly a part of.”

A project like “Name Your Hood” also haseconomic benefits in the long run, with busi-nesses clearly being identified in these specif-ics “hoods”, she says.

“This is a chance for Cape Town to get in-volved in creating a space they can truly en-

joy, so we would encouraged people to jumpon board and enjoy this project,” says Helm-bold.

The “Name Your Hood” campaign aims toroll out into all the “hoods” within the sightofTableMountainover time, butwill be start-ing with only three “hoods” at a time.

After a three-week naming period via Inter-net registrations, manual application formson the street and also SMSes, all hood namesuggestions will be put before a panel of ar-chitects, planners, musicians, local celebri-ties and historians.

Good explained further that the panel willthen create a short-list of the best names cho-

sen for each hood, which will then be adver-tised to the public, who will be allowed to“Name Your Hood” through a public votingsystem.

“We cannot really say this project willwork, and we don’t know whether or not thenames will die out or fade away, but what wedo know is that we are taking this opportuni-ty with both hands and dedicated ourselvesto creating a better City to live in,” Good con-cluded.

Doggone madTHE killing of a three-year-old boy, allegedlyby dogs, is tragic beyond description.

Disgusting beyond comprehension is thereaction from residents of Sweet Valley infor-mal settlement on the Cape Flats, where thetoddler lived. The mad mob committed un-speakable acts of cruelty, beating and kickingto death two dogs suspected of being involvedin the attack, until the defenceless animalschoked to death on their blood.

Post mortems on the dogs revealed onlytraces of rice, chicken and beetroot in thedogs’ stomach contents – nothing to confirmthat they had killed the boy.

More attacks on dogs from the communityfollowed, and after three innocent puppieswere condemned to a certain death by theirbarbaric owners, who placed them on a rail-way line, the Cape of Good Hope SPCAstepped in, putting down 18 dogs and remov-ing close to 200 others. While the headlinesscreamed “Spate of dog attacks” and articlescarriedall the gorydetails, the context got for-gotten. The most vexing question of why athree-year-old was left alone, was not raised.

The boy was allegedly pulled from his homeby a pack of dogs. Where was the adult super-vision, the same adults who recklessly haveup to 10 dogs they cannot take care of, starv-ing them, beating them and allowing them tobreed uncontrolled? Allan Perrins, the CEOof the SPCA, confirms that unsupervised chil-dren are most vulnerable and prone to beingattacked.

He says most of the dogs in informal settle-ments lack human affection, lead a feral exist-ence and roam the townships scavenging forfood, which is when their instinct as a preda-tor manifests itself.

There are alternatives, the most obviousbeing to not own dogs if you cannot even takecare of yourself. Mahatma Gandhi said: “Youcan judge a society by the way it treats its ani-mals.” If the maltreatment of animals by thepeople of Sweet Valley is anything to go by,our society is indeed in a sorry, shamefulstate.

Don’t let strangers inIF a “neighbour” comes knocking on yourdoor, don’t let him in. That’s what I learntyesterday (Tuesday 28 June). There was aninsistent knocking on our door. When weopened it, we saw a rotund man in a blackleather jacket. He claimed he was housesit-ting a neighbouring property and needed ac-cess to our property to trim the plants, whichwere growing over from his side.

We were suspicious, but he was so convinc-ing that we eventually let him in.

After looking outside, he invented reasonsto go into all the rooms in the house. Whenhe came into mine without knocking, I gotangry and he left. My housemate later dis-covered her old iPod was stolen.

Apparently this sort of scam is common –if only we’d known about it. Fortunately itwas a relatively small loss, but beware thistype of criminal scam.ROSALIND CLAYTONObservatory

Police station in bad stateHAVING just received the People’s Post, andhaving read the front page article about theWoodstock Police Station, I would like tocomment. I had the experience of visiting thepolice station to retrieve some stolen goods,and was appalled at what I saw. Those build-ings and the working conditions I am suredo not comply with the minimum workingconditions that we all have to strictly abideby. The toilets were mentioned in the article,and yes I walked down the uncovered walk-way past the toilets and their condition wastotally unacceptable.

These are hard-working law enforcementofficials that we call upon in case of need, butto see where they come from and return tomakes one wonder why they even do the jobin the first place.

I think it is nothing but disrespectful to askthem to work in those conditions, and some-thing should be expedited to improve this.One looks at the huge new Milnerton PoliceStation and wonders why the Woodstock onecan’t be improved or relocated.APPALLED BUSINESSMANObservatory

In 2010, the group again finishedtop of the South African log, andplaced 21st among their interna-tional competition.

But this year will be their time toshine, says 17-year-old Liam Antho-ny from Kenwyn, the youngestmember of the group.

“We have been putting every-thing into our preparations, and weare so ready to do this. We hope thatthis year will see us finish at thetop,” the teenager says.

Hours and hours of midweek andweekend practice sessions will beput to the test when they face thebest of the world’s hip hop talent –a total of 53 groups will take part inthe dance-off from 23 till 31 July.

But the competition isn’t the only

reasonAnthony is excitedabout theinternational trip.

“After Vegas I will be going to LosAngeles from 3 till 13 August totrain with international choreogra-phers who have worked with thelikes of Britney Spears, Janet Jack-son, Michael Jackson, Justin Tim-berlake, Beyoncé and Lady Gaga,”the ecstatic teenager says.

“This is a once-in-a-lifetime op-

portunity and I’m ready to grab itwith both hands.”

Anthony plans to use the exper-tise he will gain from the profes-sional dancers to teach young peo-ple who can’t afford dance lessonsthe skills he has gained.

“There are too many young peo-plewhoarenot exposed to theworldof hip hop because they can’t affordtuition. I want to use the knowledge

I will gain to spread the love ofdance, and give them the opportuni-ty to improve their lives andexpandtheir talents, free of charge. Danceis a universal language – it’s timemore people learn to speak it.”

Because the overseas trip costsmore than R30 000 per team mem-ber, Untamed has hosted numerousfundraisers to make enough moneyto cover their travelling and accom-

modation costs.They will host one final event at

Groote Schuur High School in New-lands on 15 and 16 July in the formof a fashion show.

Tickets are R70.For further information on the

event, or for details on the planneddance tuition, you can contact An-thony on 071 414 9776 or email himat liam.pokerface@yahoo.com.

TO THE WORLD STAGE: Untamed are (top row, from left) James Bone, Kim Hoffenberg, Cindy Cairncross, Tamsin Carelse and Liam Anthony. In the frontare Rudi Smit, Nicholas Vries and Lisa Smith.

Countdown to youth showpieceTASMIN CUPIDO

IT’S that time of the year again– the launch and draw of the 2011Engen Knockout Challenge willbe held at Athlone Stadium to-morrow.

This year’s tournament, organ-ised by Engen Santos FC and pre-sented by Engen, will be the eighthof its kind, and is scheduled to beplayed at the Stephen ReagonSports Complex in Westridge theweekend of 29 – 31 July. Sixteen ofCape Town’s top under-17 teamswill compete to win the champion-ship, of which People’s Post is themedia sponsor.

Gilbert Kruger, the coordinatorof the event, says they are excitedfor the tournament to finally kick-off after several months of planningand preparations. “We are tremen-dously excited to get everything go-ing – so much hard work and plan-ning went into this year’s tourna-ment,” he says.

“With the assistance of EngenSantos FC and Engen we have man-aged to get everything in place, andwe are certain that, come the end of

the month, everyone will enjoy aweekend of fun-filled, exhilaratingfootball. We also know that we willfind new, up-and-coming stars whomay eventually move on to becom-ing the best.”

Kruger also disclosed the teamsare in contention for a R10 000 cashprize at the annual event, whichwas won by Cape United AFC lastyear. Engen Santos FC (2005 and2006) and Ajax Cape Town (2008 and2009) have each won the title twice.Provincial Academy also tri-umphed on debut in 2007.

“This year sees several teamsmaking their debut in the tourna-ment and we know that they willbring a different blend and dimen-sion to it all,” Kruger says.

After 100 teams played-off to com-pete in the converted tournament,the following teams have cementedtheir place: Ajax Cape Town; Afri-can Soccer Development (CapeUnited AFC); Bayhill United; BlueDowns; Bothasig; Edgemead; En-gen Santos FC; Cape Town FC; In-vincible Cravenby; Juventus; Ken-sington; Masidlale; Old Mutual;Origan Spurs; Trinatarians andVasco Da Gama.

Where to from here, Stormers?TASMIN CUPIDO

DHL STORMERS sup-porters were again left

dejected after an embarrass-ing 29-10 loss at the hands ofthe Crusaders in the semi-fi-nal of the Vodacom SuperRugby competition on Satur-day.

Allister Coetzee’s chargeswere completely outplayed bythe globe-trotting men fromNew Zealand, who have notplayed at their beloved AMIStadium this season after adevastating earthquake in Feb-ruary.

And Coetzee was the first toadmit that his team was beatenby the better side.

“We were beaten by a betterteam tonight – they scrummedwell and were very competitiveat breakdown points,” he said.

“We made elementary mis-takes, which definitely cost us– we will take all the criticismon the chin, but I still believewe had a very good season.”

Except for a converted try bywinger Bryan Habana and apenalty from the boot of PeterGrant – both in the first half –the men from the Cape neverscored any other points, asthey were completely annihi-lated by Richie McCaw and histroops.

The men from Canterburymanaged to break the defence

of the Stormers twice, withSean Maitland and RobbieFreuen dotting down tries.

The match marked the thirdtime the Stormers featured inthe play-off stages, but alsoproved that the team may haveproblems winning big matches– it seems both the Stormersand DHL Western Provincelack big match temperament.

Conservative game plansand team selections have beenthe angle taken by the Storm-ers throughout the season –and for many seasons before.

Stumbling in the play-offs ofthe Vodacom Cup, Currie Cupand Super Rugby has becomea regular occurrence for themen from the Cape.

It begs the question: whenwill the Stormers and WP beable to bring the silverwareback to Cape Town?

A consolation South Africanconference log winners trophyjust doesn’t count.

With the upcoming Tri-na-tions and World Cup ratherovershadowing the Absa Cur-rie Cup, the Cape side shouldbe focusing on building squaddepth – something that wasclearly lacking during the Su-per Rugby competition.

So, for now, it’s back to thedrawing board for Coetzee andhis coaching team, as theyagain look to salvage their rep-utation as a trophy-winningteam.

DHL Stormers winger Bryan Habana and Crusad­ers winger Sean Maitland go up for an aerial con­test for the ball in the Vodacom Super Rugbysemi­final between the two sides at DHL New­lands on Saturday. The Stormers lost 29­10.
