Residents wait for the Red Ants as they regroup for a second encounter.

C

haos erupted this week as residents of the Banks Mansions building in Bertrams resisted eviction and drove the Red Ants off.

In one of the few instances the Red Ants have been defeated they fled as a mob chased them with a barrage of bricks and bottles.

A spokesperson for the building’s residents, Gladys Nhlapo said they were to be evicted after they allegedly ignored notices issued over a

month ago to vacate the property they ‘illegally occupied’.

“Residents protested that they did not receive notification and questioned the authenticity of the court order. They never told us about the eviction, even this eviction order is not accurate, they suppose to come with the police,” said Nhlapho.

Documents from the South Gauteng High Court indicate that the building’s owner Gert Du Plessis was granted an order on 17 January this year. The court order, which also appears in the court roll of the

Residents in fierce battle with the Red Ants as they resist eviction

said date, ordered the occupants to vacate the building on 28 February. In the event of the occupants failing to vacate the building, the court order reads; ‘the appointed agent is authorised to evict them on 7 March’.

Du Plessis’ lawyer, Cornelius Mostert said they followed all the legal procedures. “The occupants of the building were notified in advance about the eviction. We did not invite the SAPS because it is a civil case, but we will now have to pursue the services of the police.”

The property was previously registered in the name of Patrick Van Rensburg referred to as a seller in court documents. On 27 September 2007, Du Plessis

bought the property for R200 000.

After he made the payment the property was registered in his name by 20 May 2011.

“It is a concern that our client bought the property but he has not benefited from it. Instead one guy is enriching himself at the expense of poor people,” added Mostert.

Subsequent to the registration of the transfer of the building Du Plessis says he visited the building and informed the occupants of his right as an owner. “The occupants have not made any rental, water, electricity and rates and taxes payments. In terms of the condition of the sale I am liable for all the costs, taxes and other charges levied on the properties by the city.”

The registrar of deeds also confirms that Du Plessis as the rightful

owner of the contested property.

“These people have refused to leave my building for five years. I bought this building to be ready for the FIFA 2010 World Cup. This was a second eviction order, the first one we made an error with the address,” he adds.

Du Plessis says he even offered to give tenants R10 000 each to leave the building. “They still refused. I don’t know what to do next, may be someone can help me.”

Shereza Sibanda, of Inner City Resource Centre, who represented the tenants, admitted that the building has been run by hijackers. “To resolve this matter the tenants must stop paying rent to individuals.”

Ward 64 Councilor Phineas Madisha said: “The city cannot be seen to be protecting building hijackers.”

T

he Johannesburg Housing Company (JHC) and its subsidiary wing Makhulong A Matala, in partnership with Johannesburg Development Agency (JDA) launched the rooftop food garden at Douglas Village in Troyeville this week.

The garden, which will be used by the building’s tenants, uses recycled tyres, planters with a worm garden to ensure steady supply of fertiliser and compost.

JHC CEO Elize Stroebel said the garden will promote healthy eating, alleviate malnutrition and overcome hunger. “It will increase the level of household food security and alleviate effects of disease in our build-

ings. The tenants will also have a chance to earn extra income if they choose to sell any surplus vegetables to their friends or neighbours,” she added.

The food garden programme has been introduced to Brickfields in Newtown and Hlanganani in Cosmo City, said Stroebel. “At each building, all tenants have been invited to participate in the programme. A group of 11 tenants from Douglas have already shown their commitment in setting up their garden and planting their first seedlings.”

The tenants have also received training from Food Gardens Foundation to have skills required to tend the plants, harvest them, replenish the soil with organic compost and plant new seeds for the next harvest,

remarked Stroebel. “We will also be opening the next rooftop food garden at Tower Hill in Hillbrow.

Over time we will extend this to all buildings where food gardens can be accommodated.”

Lindi Malinga, general manager of Makhulong added that helping communities grow food is the best way to assist with problems associated with poverty. “We believe that nutrition is a key to good health, and that good health for all can only be achieved by improving the environment in which people live.”

Sharon Lewis, planning and strategy executive manager at JDA, said this garden must be an example to other communities in the city. “We look forward to see more food gardens spring up around the city.

Growing vegetables is hard work and I hope you will remain committed and manage this garden well.”

The agency launched its first rooftop food garden programme last year in AFHCO’s African Diamond building in Goud Street.

Hilda Pheto, director of the Food Gardens Foundation added that the garden will help tenants to escape from the grip of poverty.

“This will also ensure that people do not rely on government to feed them,” she said.

Organisations and persons interested in starting rooftop gardens and need training and mentorship can contact the Food Gardens Foundation on 011 342 4440. Its offices are at Walter Sisulu Square of Dedication in Kliptown, Soweto.

COMMENT Many analysts have suggested that prostitution, or sex work to be politically correct, on its own may not constitute a direct threat to the security of society. They however concede that it sometimes gets entangled with social ills and serious crimes that include drug and human trafficking, robbery and murder, and also the spread of infections like STDs and HIV/Aids.

Some people have projected sex work as a result of unemployment and poverty, but others argue that it may not result from that since it is the oldest profession in the world. If this is indeed so, then it has to be regarded just like any other profession; and no profession may be said to have resulted from a single set of circumstances.

Besides, in that profession unemployment and retrenchment do not exist.

Considering that prostitution has been there since the early ages, no amount of laws and enforcers can stop it. Such a scenario deems it necessary for the sex workers to seek to be legalized, so that they go about their work freely. If the clandestine nature of their profession is removed they would as well join workers unions to protect their rights and advance their aspirations.

A few years ago a group of women in Hillbrow announced the formation of their South African Sex Workers Union (SASWU), which they said would lobby for legislation that would entrench their rights. Through legislation they could also strive to restore their dignity, for instance by having derogatory references like magosha banned.

That would also allow the state to regulate their operations, which would reduce their chances of spreading STIs and HIV/Aids. That would also allow them to contribute directly to the country’s economy by paying taxes.

Time for women to rise ‘Where is the human dignity in not being afforded the rights you are entitled to, because you are a woman?’

W

e are of the view that women’s rights are human rights. The ANC Women’s League believes the accomplishments of women should be celebrated, we have come a long way in attaining equal rights to men.

On Human Rights Day this week we celebrated the progressive laws we enjoy, as well as our progressive constitution which allows us to celebrate our unity in diversity as a nation, no matter one’s race, religion, sex or creed.

It was not an easy struggle to attain these rights and it should never be forgotten what many went through as a nation to get to where we are today. We have surely made remarkable progress in the struggle for human rights.

tution many women face daily discrimination and persecution, this, despite our progressive laws and constitution. We must remember that the fight for true gender equality can only be realised when we have a society that does not carry around a patriarchal mindset, where people on the street, including women themselves often see women as inferior to men.

It is this patriarchal mindset that still holds so many back and keeps many women oppressed in their own free country. As the Women’s League we have come up with a gender policy discussion document that seeks to try to find ways to change this mindset through a long term change in the way the role of women is portrayed across a broad spectrum of categories.

We need to start seeing real change

and put women on an equal footing to men in every aspect of society from home, to the economy.

Women have previously suffered under triple oppression, but now is the time for them to rise together and demand the equal rights enshrined in our constitution.

The right to human dignity is protected by our constitution and one that in our country, coming from a past where human dignity was not afforded to all, we find extremely important. But we have to ask ourselves where is the human dignity in being sexually assaulted because you are wearing a mini skirt at a taxi rank? Where is the human dignity in being beaten up for wearing pants in T-section, Umlazi? Where is the human dignity in being brutally raped by your estranged husband and his cronies? Where is the

human dignity in being beaten up by your husband on a daily basis?

Where is the human dignity in not being afforded the rights you are entitled to by law, because you are a woman? These are but a few of the incidents where women have not enjoyed the right to freedom and human dignity.

While this week we celebrate the leaps and bounds made in the progression of human rights in our country, also celebrating the fact that we have one of the most progressive constitutions in the world, we must also take a look at the society around us.

We must not forget that as a nation we still have a long way to go before we truly all enjoy equal human rights.

FNB recently announced that it has reached its R10 billion target in the affordable housing market (houses aimed at qualifying customers with gross monthly income of up to R18k) - providing homes to more than 90,000 families, just five months after hitting the R9 billion mark.

Marius Marais, CEO of FNB Housing Finance, (pictured) says the scale of the bank’s loan book, and its growth, are “evidence that there is demand for affordable housing and that FNB has made a significant contribution in the provision of affordable housing for first-time homeowners, who form the backbone of the future housing market.”

“We have been robust in the development of our solutions that enable our customers to own their first home. For example, we have retained our policy of

100% loans to all qualifying customers. We have also combined access to housing finance with consumer education for our firsttime home-owners where more than 29,000 of our bond holders have undergone or undertaken this educational/informative programme on how to manage their bonds and maintain their investments,” Marais says.

FNB is one of the leading financiers in the affordable housing market space in South Africa with over 22% of new business market share.

As a leader in innovation, FNB has also been working with various partners to pioneer quality alternative building technologies which can bring down prices, increase the speed of delivery and increase energy efficiencies.

“Last year we rolled out our modular building concept in partnership with Sasol and Tower Technologies,” said Marais. “This enables us to build houses from mining and manufacturing by-products material in less than 3 weeks. We also finalised and released our energy efficiency pilot study results jointly piloted with GIZ & Carbon Programmes (Pty) Ltd to assess the social, environmental and financial benefits of implementing energy and thermal effi-

ciency technologies in the mainstream market.”

“The potential for growth in the affordable housing market is by far not only limited by the ability of financial institutions to meet the housing finance and stock needs of the market. We see the availability of land; improved overall customer affordability including subsidy schemes; more developers willing to take up the challenge in the targeted market space; alternative building technologies; and infrastructural services costs usually associated with local municipalities and efficiency as crucial to this growth.”

“Our hard earned learning throughout the years in lending in the affordable housing space has not only ensured that we continue to grow our affordable housing book, but has also meant that we are geared towards playing a leading role in this sector and going forward.”

Red alert for ex-spy chief

INNER-CITY GAZETTE

NEWS Troops attack ‘rebels’

FOCUS ON AFRICA

Nouakchott - Following the arrest of ex-Libyan spy chief Abdullah al-Senussi last week Interpol has issued a Red Notice alert that he is wanted for war crimes by the International Criminal Court (ICC).

Libya requested the international alert, a step toward the extradition of one of the Gadhafi regime’s most Abdullah al-Senussi wanted men, according to Interpol. “Libyan authorities are making intensive contact with their Mauritanian counterparts regarding the handover of al-Senussi based on an arrest warrant issued by the Libyan prosecutor general,” a Libyan government statement said.

Al-Senussi was already the subject of a Red Notice issued last September by the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity.

Mauritanian security arrested al-Senussi, brother-inlaw of the late Gaddafi, at Nouakchott airport, allegedly travelling on a fake passport from Mali.

France also requests al-Senussi’s extradition, following his sentencing in absentia to life imprisonment for the 1989 attack on UTA flight 772 which killed 170 people, including 54 French nationals, when the French airliner exploded as it flew over Niger.

Isaias Afewerki

Asmara - Ethiopia has admitted that its troops have made more attacks on suspected rebel bases in Eritrea.

A government official said the attacks, a day after Eritrea called for UN action over a similar incursion earlier in the week, took place in Badme in the north of the Red Sea state. The attacks are the first Ethiopia has admitted since the end of a 1998-2000 war between the two countries that killed 70 000 people and left a border dispute unresolved.

Ethiopia said it raided three military bases that were being used to train Ethiopian rebels, which it blames for killing five foreign tourists and kidnapping two others in its Afar region in January.

The Eritrean government of Isaias Afewerki said the attacks were with the help of the US and meant to divert attention from a decade-old border dispute between the two countries.

“The objective is to divert attention from the regime’s flagrant violation of international law and illegal occupation of Eritrean territories,” a statement from Eritrea’s foreign ministry said.

Row over former dictator

Call for Bashir’s arrest

Dakar - The government has denied that it is dodging its legal obligation by failing to extradite Chad’s former president Hissene Habre or put him on trial.

The foreign ministry’s legal and consular affairs director, Cheikh Titiane Thiam told an International Court of Justice (ICJ) hearing that Senegal is not looking for a way out of its legal commitments. “We have never contested our duty to act on our international obligations to prosecute or to extradite. We have carried out reforms to improve human rights and are looking for ways to put Habre on trial,” he added.

Habre was offered a safe haven in Senegal after he was overthrown in 1990, and stands accused of war crimes, crimes against humanity and torture. A 1992 truth commission report in Chad said he presided over up to 40 000 political and ethnic killings.

Belgium took the case to the ICJ in 2009 in a bid to force Senegal either to bring Habre, dubbed Africa’s Pinochet, to trial or to extradite him.

Senegal has blocked three extradition requests for Habre since 2005 and another request is pending.

Juba - Civil society organisations have rejected the government’s position that it has no obligation to arrest Sudanese president Omar el Bashir, when he attends an upcoming summit in the country.

The meeting between Bashir and South Sudan’s Salva Kiir is intended for progress in talks on unresolved issues since the secession of South Sudan last year. The civil society groups argue that South Sudan can arrest Bashir under Article 86 of the Rome Statute because the UN Security Council referred the case to the International Criminal Court. Bashir is accused of war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide committed in Darfur. South Sudan became the UN’s 193rd state in July last year, so it has the right to arrest Bashir, the activists say.

This follows a pronouncement in which South Sudan’s chief negotiator, Pagan Amum said his country has no obligation to arrest Bashir if he comes to Juba, because they are not International Criminal Court (ICC) members.

Islamists deny terror link Ibadan - During a recent Islamic conference on Boko Haram, the Jama’atu Ta’awunil Muslimeen organisation denied working with Boko Haram.

The group’s leader in Osogbo, Malam Daud Imran said Boko Haram has derailed from true Jihad.

“Killing of innocent people and bombing religious places is not Jihad. Islam encourages us to search

for knowledge, so how can anyone say education is bad? That is not part of the teachings of Islam. A majority of us here are graduates. I can also assure that there is no Boko Haram in the Southwest,” he said.

Imran urged security agencies to do their best to tackle the security situation. He called for religious harmony, warning religious leaders against inciting

statements. He also denied reports that his members were armed.

“We condemn the proliferation of firearms, and call on security agencies to arrest whoever has illegal guns,” he said.

‘It is not about opening up old wounds, but we must reflect and remember our history so that we can move on’

Rights day event O

n Wednesday hundreds of people gathered to mark Human Rights Day in Kliptown, Soweto, and reflect on the progress that has been made in ensuring basic human rights for all South Africans, as enshrined in the Constitution.

The day also marked 52 years since the Sharpeville massacre. On 21 March 1960, police opened fire on a crowd of people peacefully demonstrating against the pass laws. A total of 69 people were killed.

“Had it not been for those protesters, we would not be here today as a free country. I would not be studying at the tertiary institution of my choice and my parents would not live wherever they wanted to.

Today we have endless opportunities because of them. This is reason enough for me to honour those fallen heroes and heroines,” said Khosi

Sibisi, a 25-year-old from Soweto.

Victor Zwane, 22, from Pimville said it was important for the youth to learn about historical events that shaped the country we enjoy now.

“I feel like as the youth we sometimes forget the significance of such days. It’s not about opening up old wounds, but we must reflect and remember our history so that we can move on as a country,” said Zwane.

Human Rights Day was celebrated at the Walter Sisulu Square of Dedication under the theme: “Working together to promote unity in diversity and human dignity for all.”

The theme calls on all South Africans, in the spirit experienced during the drafting of the Freedom Charter, to rally and realise goals envisaged in the Constitution.

The President kicked off events by taking a walk through the 10 pillars at the Monument of the Freedom Charter. He then lit the Freedom Charter Torch in recognition of the fact that the Freedom Charter was signed at Kliptown.

He was accompanied by his Deputy, KgalemaMotlanthe; Justice and Constitutional Development Minister Jeff Radebe; Deputy Basic Education Minister Enver Surty; Gauteng Premier Nomvula Mokonyane and representatives of various political parties.

ble as metal scavengers removed the steel beams supporting the pillars, according to a street vendor.

A resident, Mzwakhe Mhlophe said he was inside when the walls started cracking and shaking. “I alerted the others and we ran outside, and a few minutes after that the building collapsed. I have been staying here for a long time, and this means the end of my stay here,” he added.

The three-storey building, built in the Scottish style in 1905, was the former headquarters of the Johan-

nesburg Caledonian Society. All the building materials are said to have been brought from Scotland, according to Naomi and Reuben Musiker in A Concise Historical Dictionary of Greater Johannesburg.

EMS spokesperson Niel Rooi confirmed that the removal of pillar support beams from the building resulted in the collapse.

“One person was sent to Hillbrow Hospital with minor injuries, but that person had not been inside the building at the time,” he said

He added that the building had been identified as a high risk building because of overcrowding prior to the fire. “At this stage no person has been found trapped in the building, as the dog unit continued with the search till the morning.”

Ward 60 Councillor Nokuthula Xaba said she visited the occupants before, and alerted them about the danger of staying in the building.

“When inspectors arrived at the building they fled, but they moved back in when they left,” she added.

Mayor’s move in crime prevention ‘New technology will be introduced to households as well as time management across the city’ Sizwe Mathe sizwem@inner-city-gazette.co.za

D

uring this week’s ‘state of the city’ address Joburg Mayor Clr Parks Tau announced that 10 JMPD officers will be deployed in every ward throughout the city.

He was speaking at the council chambers in Braamfontein.

“They will work with the CPF, street patrollers, neighbourhood watches and all security sector people based at ward level, including security companies contracted to households. This is to ensure that crime prevention is achieved,” added Tau. The mayor remarked that the inner city character has changed from being exclusive and conservative to an inclusive, vibrant, multi-cultural African city.

“The significance of the inner city to the economy and position

of Johannesburg is demonstrated by that the real estate investors have been showing a healthy appetite for buildings in central Johannesburg,” he added.

The billing and customer services will continue to be a top priority through the announced revenue roadmap programme, he said. “It is not acceptable for people to wait long periods to have calls answered.”

New technology will be introduced to households as well as time management across the city in the medium term, announced Tau. “We will also implement electricity demand side management measures and smart metering across the city.”

Over the next 10 years the city will invest R100 billion in economic and social infrastructure, he said. “We will do all these in collaboration with the private sector and other stakeholders.”

Police in holiday safety operations Structures to heighten security in preparation for the influx or exodus from provinces Moses Moyo moses@inner-city-gazette.co.za

T

he Joint Operational and Intelligence Structure (JOINTS), comprising of the SAPS, SANDF and various government departments, has embarked on a nationwide operation called Operation Paseka to ensure that all people in South Africa feel safe during the coming Easter holidays.

JOINTS chairperson Lt-Gen Elias Mawela says all provincial structures of have been directed to heighten security in preparation for either the influx or exodus of people from their respective provinces.

“The planned operations are intended to primarily prevent all crimes, particularly serious crimes such as aggravated robberies, crimes against women and children, the proliferation of firearms, illegal liquor outlets, counterfeit and second-hand goods, etc. Both our national and provincial roads will also be closely monitored to detect speedsters and other contraventions with a view to drastically reduce the carnage on our roads around this holiday period,” he adds.

The operation has been divided and is being executed in three phases, the pre- Easter holiday phase,

the Easter holiday phase and post Easter holiday.

“The operational focus areas will include stop and search operations, roadblocks and vehicle checkpoints, special operations around possible business, house and cash-in-transit robberies as well as the hijacking of vehicles, illegal and abuse of liquor will be conducted. All operations in the country will be closely monitored by the National Joint Operational Centre set up in Gauteng.”

Joint security force personnel will maintain a high visibility of policing by being strategically deployed in uniform patrolling on foot, in vehicles and being provided with air support.

There are four public holidays within the period of the operation, including Human Rights Day; Good Friday, Freedom Day and Worker’s Day and security for events taking place on these public holidays have been taken into consideration.

“We will be out in full force and will not tolerate any criminality, however petty one may consider it to be. Abuse of alcohol has the potential to lead to even more crimes being committed either by or against the indulging person. Therefore, we will not take this lightly at all,” Lt Gen Mawela warned.

Parents came from all over Joburg CBD with their children while others came to unwind in the park. Nom-

pumelelo Mhlanga sat in the park as she watched the children play. “This is the kind of entertainment our children want. This park has been their second home, after school they all come here to play.”

Fisani Moyo, expressed excitement in seeing her daughter playing with other kids. “It’s good for her as she spends most of her time at school. I had fun too watching the band performing.”

Soweto Marimba Band entertained the guests with their music and

dance performance. Lucky winners received T-shirts and shopping vouchers amounting to R 1000.

Jabulile Msimango won a R 1000 shopping voucher and was excited.

“I will buy groceries for my daughter and the rest goes to my mother,” she said.

AFHCO’s urban development manager Lebo Mashego said this changed the outlook of End Street. “It was excitement that no one can fake.

There were no incidents and we hope to have this event every year.”

Arts summit registration Arts Correspondent

T

he inaugural Arts and Culture Trust (ACT) and University of Johannesburg (UJ) Arts and Culture Conference will be held on UJ’s Kingsway campus on 24 and 25 May this year.

Under the theme ‘The Art of the Creative Economy’, ACT, in partnership with the UJ Arts & Culture Centre, will present a conference that sets the stage for representatives from national entities, major funding agencies and corporate sponsors of the arts, arts activists and luminaries, to knowledge and insights.

This is with the view to empower the sector towards its increased economic participation, recognition and support.

In addition to looking at the ‘state of the nation’ and the ‘state of the sectors’, discussion themes will include the world as a creative economy, art as the new frontier of leadership, art for art or art for audiences and art and performance in the digital age.

The conference leaders will be focused on delivering constructive outcomes from these presentations and conversations. Plans will be created for practitioners and administrators to remain abreast of developments and industry thoughtleadership within the sector.

Conference content team member

Trish Downing says this is a most exciting time for the arts and culture sector.

“Never before has the potential of the creative sector in stimulating economies received such strategic attention, locally and internationally, as evidenced in South Africa by the increase in state funding made available to this sector.

We are being taken seriously and we need to understand what this means for us and how to capitalise on this shift. We hope to address the divide that exists between policymakers and practitioners by creating a space in which these important conversations can happen.”

The line-up of speakers and panelists includes Dr Wally Serote (pictured), Avril Joffe, Andries Oliphant, Ismail Mahomed, Andre le Roux, Deon Opperman, Mfundi Vundla, Monica Newton, Mpho Molepo, Michelle Constant, Janet Watts, Mandie van der Spuy, Germaine Gamiet and Erika Elk. The conference programme is put together by Trish Downing, Brenda Devar and Mpho Molepo, who have a wealth of experience in in the industry, with guidance from Avril Joffe and Andreì le Roux.

Sponsored registrations will be made available to arts, culture and heritage practitioners, and applications close on 2 April.

The conference registrations close on 11 May, and more information is available at www.act.org.za.

ast Saturday the Mzansi Youth Choir exploded onto the stage at the UJ Arts Centre in their bright multi-coloured costumes.

Aged between 14 and 24, the 45 choristers are recruited from Soweto and surrounding townships. The choir is coming up on its 10th anniversary and has some impressive credentials on its CV, including performing Waka Waka with Shakira during the 2010 Soccer World Cup, singing with Andrea Bocelli and a tour to Canada last year.

Elle South Africa turns 16 Moses Moyo moses@inner-city-gazette.co.za ELLE magazine, named Consumer Magazine of the Year at the 2011 Pica Awards, has another milestone to celebrate when it turns 16 in April.

The South African edition of the world’s biggest-selling fashion magazine was launched in April 1996, the first major international title to capitalise on South Africa’s readmission to the global market.

The launch of ELLE South Africa was ‘a milestone in our fashion history’, writes editor of ELLE Magazine, Jackie Burger in her introduction to the magazine’s special birthday issue, which celebrates local design with a fashion editorial featuring party dresses commissioned from top South African designers.

Under Burger’s editorship the magazine has focused on delivering an empowering message of ‘style and substance’, appealing to women who are interested in being both well-dressed and wellread. As part of an initiative to grow the magazine’s reputation as a fashion An Elle model at a birthday video shoot.

leader, last year, Burger launched The Female Factor to focus on issues affecting South African women. This was part of a broader ongoing strategy to ‘redefine what a fashion magazine is’, Burger explained.

As part of the publication’s birthday celebrations, ELLE has produced a ‘happy birthday’ mini-video available on the ELLE website. The all-night shoot took place on the Sea Point promenade. The video features couture dresses by local designers, especially made for ELLE’s 16th birthday. Highlights from the birthday issue include a 16-page beauty story introducing the latest hair and make-up looks, an edited round-up of winter’s top 20 fashion trends and the launch of the ELLE Beauty Awards.

Nurturing new talent remains a priority for Burger and 2012 will see exciting developments in this area. Meanwhile the April issue sees the launch of a short-fiction writing competition – another first for the most stylish and spirited 16-year-old on local newsstands.

African for the most part, energetic and skilfully choreographed, they are exuberant and their spirit is catching.

This was their gala concert to introduce their repertoire for the new year, plus a few old favourites, such as Waka Waka, Sanibonani, Celebration and others.

Vicky Sampson’s Afrikan Dream is a highlight and Coldplay’s Viva la Vida and Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah sent shivers down my spine.

The Canadians requested the choir do Justin Bieber’s Baby, which was somewhat of a challenge for musical director and conductor Ralf

Schmidt. The result is a hysterical African/Bieber medley/mix that was distinctly spoofy and had the audience in stitches.

Most numbers are unaccompanied, but drums and a full-on band take up the beat where needed.

A year ago the Mzansi Children’s Choir was launched and a hugely enthusiastic group of kids did more than justice to Freshlyground’s Doo be doo and Ipi Ntombi. There are definitely some talented choristers coming up the ranks.

By the end of the show the audience was cheering, clapping and singing along. Artslink.co.za

Mentalist show is back at UJ An art form that uses mathematics, memory skills, body language, eye movement, psychological suggestion and other skills to influence audience members into specific courses Arts Correspondent

M

entalist Michael Abrahamson presents his brand new show, Powerbrain The Mentalist, Sequel, at the UJ Arts Centre in April.

The show will be at the UJ Theatre, Kingsway Campus, Auckland Park from 17 to 21 April. Following the success of his original show at the UJ Theatre in August 2011, memory expert and mentalist extraordinaire, Abrahamson has developed a sequel to the original: a theatrical experience based on some never-before-seen effects and routines that make use of mathematics, memory skills, body language, psychology, eye movement and many other ideas in an interactive and fun way that will keep audiences spellbound.

The show uses audience participation; nothing is pre-planned with any member of the audience. The show plays out in an impromptu manner with plenty of lightning calculations, amazing memory demonstrations, mind readings and plenty more and builds to a memorable climax.

Abrahamson says his fascination with arts started when he assisted a magician at a cousin’s birthday party when he was only six years old. “I then joined a magic school and learned all the secrets and began developing my own shows.”

He adds that the move from magic to mentalism came about 10 years ago when by chance he saw a mentalism show

presented by a visiting exponent of the art.

“At the time it seemed to me more like intelligent magic, it was exactly my thing, something I was able to tie in to my courses, and develop shows. Mentalism is not magic, and other than being a performing art, has very little in common with your conventional magic show.”

The art of mentalism is still very new in South Africa; it uses the five senses to create an illusion of a sixth sense. It is an art form that uses mathematics, memory skills, body language, eye movement, psychological suggestion and other skills in order to influence audience members into specific, non-threatening and non-personal courses of action. This makes for compelling entertainment.

Abrahamson reminds that this is unique entertainment that has audiences enthralled and spellbound throughout.

When not performing and presenting his show, Abrahamson also runs courses in memory, mind-building, study skills and exam techniques.

These courses are offered to school learners, university and college students, teachers, parents, corporate clients and anyone else who can benefit from acquiring these skills in their day-today lives. Many high-profile top corporate companies list among his clients. For more information visit www.powerbrain.co.za or email info@powerbrain.co.za

Drive to promote youth arts Arts Correspondent

T

heatre houses across the country have joined a campaign to encourage the development of young theatre audiences through the ASSITEJ World Theatre Day. The theatre houses that support the campaign are the Joburg Theatre, Market Theatre, Peoples T h e atre, Sibikwa A r t s Centre, Catalina Theatre, Hilton College Theatre, Kalk Bay Theatre, Artscape,

Baxter, National Children’s Theatre as well as the Hillbrow Theatre Project.

Supported by the National Lottery Distribution Trust Fund, ASSITEJ South Africa along with ASSITEJ centres the world over celebrated the World Theatre Day for Children and Young People on March 20 as part of the three year campaign aimed at advocating for the value of theatre in the lives of young people.

The director of ASSITEJ SA and president of ASSITEJ International, Yvette Hardie says her organisation brought corporates on board to sponsor children to attend theatre.

“We asked companies and receiving houses to open their doors to young people and their families.

“The ‘take a child to the theatre’ campaign goes to the heart of working to ensure that all children have access to the arts.”

This has been an opportunity for theatres to encourage the development of audiences in community halls, schools, professional theatres and site specific venues.

“Unless children are given the opportunity to love the theatre experience, we will have no theatre industry in the future,” Hardie adds.

She adds that each year a significant world leader/artist in theatre for young people is asked to write the message for the ASSITEJ World Day. This year, it is Suzanne Lebeau, an award-winning FrenchCanadian playwright.

“She visited South Africa to deliver her message, since ASSITEJ SA has produced her play, The Ogreling, and has commissioned Sindiwe Magona to translate it into isiXhosa called IZim’elincinci, and the local production is the first on the African continent. We also in-

vited our patron Gcina Mhlope (pictured) and other prominent artists, as well as the Ministers of Arts and Culture, Basic Education and Women, Children and Persons with Disabilities to add their voices to the campaign.”

This year ASSITEJ will launch its ASSITEJ Youth Ambassador’s programme, which encourages youth leadership and participation in the activities of the association. The ambassadors range in age from six to 25 and are passionate spokespeople for the value of theatre.

“They form juries and awardpanels. They may become catalysts for social cohesion and transformation, bridging divides and exploring a common love of the theatre.”

South Africans may contribute R10 by texting ‘Theatre4Youth’ to 38490 from their cellphones, thereby sponsoring children to visit the theatre and acklowledge the arts.

Inner-city night race ‘Oppportunity to celebrate heritage and freedom’ Sizwe Mathe sizwem@inner-city-gazette.co.za

T

his week thousands of people took part in the inaugural Nike Run Free, Run Jozi night race.

Desmond Mokgobu led the pack from Nelson Mandela Bridge through to Mary Fitzgerald Square in Newtown where he ultimately won the race.

Rene Kalmer was the first woman to reach the finishing line. In the Male Open division, Sibusiso Nzima finished second and Lucky Mohale third. Second and third places in the Female Open division were claimed by Maxine Hein-Wacker and Nolene Conrad respectively.

The brand director of Nike South Africa, Anwar Jappie said the race counteracted myths about inner city streets being crime and grime ridden.

“This experience has allowed runners the opportunity to celebrate their heritage and freedom, and also take back the streets for one night.”

Among the prominent runners who took part in the race included celebrities and public figures like Oscar Pistorius, 5fm DJ Poppy Ntshongwana, TV presenter Arnold Geerdts.

City of Johannesburg’s community development portfolio head, Clr Chris Vondo said the race created a memorable experience for the community at large.

“This event has cemented Johannesburg’s reputation as a premier sporting destination that’s increasingly becoming part of the global sporting community,” he added.

Runners also had different experiences

about the race. Baylor Brown said the race was not easy. “I do not know the inner city well but it was fascinating to see it. I had underestimated 10km but after 5km in the road I could feel the pressure.

I am looking forward to the following marathon which I hope to at least be in the top 10.”

The Joburg race is part of the Nike We Run City 10km World Series tour, which has taken place in cities such as Buenos Aires, Mexico City, Kuala Lumpur and Rio de Janeiro.

The overall winner received a R15 000, prize, whereas the second placed runner walked away with R8 500.
