munity safety in 2016. It now officially falls under the City’s banner, following a launch held in Lentegeur on Wednesday 16 October.

Lucinda nominated for first ever commissioner
Islamia College in Lansdowne, is heading to Ghana in November on a mission with Operation Smile. She is one of two South Africans who will be joining Operation Smile’s non-medical student volunteer team.

Seniors lectured on pro-ageing The University of the Third Age (U3A) in Athlone held a thought-provoking talk by family physician, Dr Leon Geffen, about healthy ageing, and how to be pro-ageing on Thursday 17 October. Geffen is the director of the Samson Institute For Ageing Research, as well as an honorary senior lecturer in the Geriatrics Unit at the University of Cape Town. “Dr Geffen has spoken at U3A Cape Town to great acclaim, and we look forward to welcoming him in Athlone,” said U3A chairperson Jacki Lange. “This is a subject close to all of our hearts as we and our loved ones around us start to age, not all of us graciously.” The general meeting was held in the Belthorn Recreational Hall. “It was fun, it was informative, people appreciated that they didn’t have to pay a lot of attention to get the message,” says Lange. “It was wonderful. Dr Geffen is very down to earth, his message was down to earth and well received. It was empowering and informative.” V For more information call Jacki Lange, chairperson on 083 642 2567 or 084 714 5899. Members to pay R5 and visitors R10, annual membership R45.

he City of Cape Town has approved the disbursement of the R4.572 million in cash funding to support the upcoming minstrel events. Additional support of R1.3 million for City services and the waiver of costs for City-owned venues will form part of the package of support for the associations. The contribution to minstrel events for the City’s 2019/20 financial year will total R5.872 million. The funding will support six associations to host events, including Tweede Nuwe Jaar, other minstrel competitions and the Malay choir competitions. After deliberations at the Special
Events Committee (SpevCo) meeting, the City proposed financial support to each association as follows: . Kaapse Klopse Karnival Association Street Parade – R3.2 million; . Kaapse Klopse Karnival Association Competitions – R422 000; . Cape Malay Choir Board Road March – R1.1 million; . Cape Malay Choir Board Competitions – R300 000; . SA United Christmas Bands Board Road March – R250 000; . SA United Christmas Bands Board Competitions – R200 000; . Cape District Minstrel Board Competitions – R200 000;
. Keep the Dream Competitions – R200 000 “The Minstrels, Christmas Bands and Malay Choir events have important cultural significance to the troupes, their families, communities and to the history of Cape Town. The City has been supporting them for a number of years to maintain the rich heritage and to expose the culture to a global stage within a safe environment,” said the City’s Mayco member for safety and security JP Smith. “This funding is an indication of the City’s commitment to supporting this annual tradition that continues to resonate with families and communities
Local business celebrates another milestone Elite Powertrade is celebrating 23 years in existence this year. Formerly known as Elite Cash & Carry, the Elite retailer was founded by the late Adam Banderker, and has been a household name for the past 60 years. “Being part of a large buying group, called Unitrade Management Service, we are always able to offer competitive prices,” says manager, Gadija Sasman. “We find when we do our regular trolley-to-trolley surveys that most of our prices are cheaper than our com-
petitors,” says Sasman. Sasman says that Elite Powertrade prices are hard to beat, which benefits the community. According to Sasman, Elite Powertrade does the best it can to source locally produced products. “We believe in investing in the community, therefore, we buy in products from the local home industries,” Sasman says. “By supporting these small traders it stimulates their businesses to grow.” Elite Powertrade offers unique
products at their store, where clients are met by hands-on customer services, which adds to their shopping experiences feeling exclusive. “With this year’s birthday celebrations there are lots of weekly prizes up for grabs when shopping at Elite Powertrade in Athlone,” Sasman reveals, mentioning a list of items. “From scooters, wireless Bluetooth headphones, camping lanterns, tool sets, air coolers, fans, cooler boxes, a Raleigh bike, washing machines, deep freezers, blenders and lots of ham-

The programme focused on health and wellness, with a pampering session for seniors. In addition to Melomed paramedics in attendance to check blood pressures and provide general health check-ups of community seniors, manicures and pedicures were offered in addition to facial massages which left the guests feeling rejuvenated and refreshed. Vanguard and Welcome Estate neighbourhood watch chairperson, Naser Ally welcomed everyone and intro-
duced the programme for the day. “The gratitude expressed by our seniors was indeed rewarding,” said Ally. “The day turned out to be great fun with lots to eat and pampering to enjoy.” The ward councillor Anthony Moses was given an opportunity to say a few words and thanked the guests for being able to join in the fun, handing out gifts and invitations to all seniors present to attend another event that was to be hosted by the City of Cape Town. Ally further thanked all the sponsors of the event and all those members of the watch and ratepayers who assisted in making the day a success.
Man (34) arrested with illegal firearm Athlone police apprehended a man (34) in possession of an unlicensed firearm on Tuesday 15 October in the Vygieskraal informal settlement in Athlone. Police officers were busy with tracing operations in the area when they identified the suspicious man, who fled the scene on sight. “The officers gave chase and the suspect ran into a shack. He took out a firearm and threw it under the bed,” explained Athlone police spokesperson, Sgt
Zita Norman. “Police officers saw what he was doing and arrested the suspect. The black pistol was recovered with black tape around the handle.” According to Norman, the firearm had 12 rounds, and the serial number of the firearm had been filed off. “A case of possession of an illegal firearm was opened at the Athlone police station and the suspect will appear at the Athlone magistrate’s court,” Norman said.

Winde nods head to oncology unit W
estern Cape Premier Alan Winde paid a visit to the Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital on Monday 14 October, where he was given a tour of the oncology unit, and had the opportunity to meet with some of the children receiving medical care there, and their parents. He also handed over book donations received in the Western Cape Government book drive, to be used in the libraries of the hospital. “The Red Cross Children’s Hospital does amazing work, not just for the children of
the Western Cape, but for children from across Africa. I met with them today not only to see the work that they do, but to see how we as the government can become more involved in assisting them to continue giving the world-class care that they do,” Winde said. During the visit, he was briefed on childhood cancers, and the treatment thereof, by the head of oncology and haematology at the hospital, Prof Alan Davidson. Childhood cancers are rarer than adult ones, and tend to consist mainly of brain tu-
mours, acute leukemia and tumours in deepseated organs such as the liver, kidney and adrenal glands. These kinds of tumours are usually fastgrowing, which also makes them more susceptible to chemotherapy. The hospital estimates that about 150 children under the age of 15 are diagnosed with cancer in the province each year, with about 100 of these in the Cape Town metro. In higher-income countries, about 70% to 80% of children with cancer survive. Because of the treatment offered by both the Red Cross
Children’s Hospital and the Tygerberg Children’s Hospital, the outcomes in the Western Cape are in line with other middle and high-income countries. “For parents who have to go through the very difficult experience of having a child in cancer treatment, knowing that their child has access to excellent medical care and support services, is a huge relief. I’d like to thank the staff at the hospital for their dedication to providing children from across the continent with excellent medical care, for a range of health issues,” Winde said.

Donations needed to feed little tummies C
hristel House South Africa (CHSA), a non-profit school that offers no-fee scholarships and nutritious meals to students from some of Cape Town’s most impoverished communities, urges the public to donate to its “Feed a Future” campaign. Good nutrition is a fundamental part of CHSA’s educational model, which serves 750 students from Grade R to 12. Approximately one year ago, the school launched its “Feed a Future” campaign to raise much-needed funding for its feeding programme by involving the public and asking for a donation as little as R20, the cost to feed a child for one day. The school provides two nutritious meals and snacks daily to its students, who come from 20 disadvantaged communities on the Cape Flats. Additional daily nourishment is also provided to students who require it, particularly Grade R learners who enter the school for the first time. In light of World Food Day which was celebrated on Wednesday 16 October, Christel House urges businesses and individuals to continue to support the campaign to help feed its students. “We identify children who are underweight or show signs of ill health and together with their teacher, we work on a plan to get them into good physical shape. With
the help of highly nutritious supplements and regular health checks, we’re able to improve a child’s nutritional and health status, which is our ultimate goal,” says Avril Hermanus, clinical nurse practitioner at Christel House. A hungry child cannot learn, so food that contains essential vitamins, minerals and nutrients, and adheres to the World Health Organisation’s recommended daily intake, is crucial at Christel House. When a child does not have the nourishment they need, they face immediate challenges such as fatigue and loss of concentration, which ultimately affects their academic performance, attendance and ability to take part in extra-mural activities. In addition to well-balanced meals, the school also provides professional healthcare, which means that a student’s overall cognitive function and physical wellness are seen to – ensuring that students perform at their best. This is evident at Christel House, which proudly boasts a 100% matric pass rate for the past 10 years, with 96% of its graduates either in tertiary education or gainfully employed. V To donate to Christel House’s Feed a Future campaign, visit https://sa.christelhouse.org/ or contact Bongiwe Sipunzi on 021 704 9417 or bsipunzi@sa.christelhouse.org.

undreds of people, young and old, participated in free coding workshops during the Africa Code Week Coding Carnival held at the Cape Town Science Centre (CTSC) in Observatory on Saturday 12 October. Julie Cleverdon, the director at CTSC, said the interest in the carnival increases yearly. It was first held five years ago. An energetic team of volunteers assisted attendees. Tour guides at the centre helped them explore scientific coding on Bee-Bots and OzoBots, Makey Makey, Six Bricks, Binary Bracelet and drone coding. Spectators were exposed to various coding methods, learning more about science and technology. Cleverdon said this not only promoted a tech-savvy community but critical thinking as well. She said with coding a person had to think fast and be proficient in problem-solving “which is essential for building a productive nation”. She said it was important that platforms like these were created and were open to all as the world was moving to a digital space, fast. It promised a prosperous future, but parents should get involved and equipped with skills to help them monitor and ensure children effectively use technology for the betterment of themselves as well as preparing themselves to cope with the living standards of the next genera- Daniel McIver enjoying the moon rocket the Africa Code Week Coding tion.

Shamegah Dramat from Bo-Kaap took her family to the carnival and said her children were interested in different things and she was making sure they were aware of the opportunities available in various fields. It was the second time her daughter Leila visited the centre and said science fascinated her. Leila said she learned a lot during the day and, hopefully, would be able to make an informed decision when choosing a career in the future. Daniel McIver from Edgemead is homeschooled. He spent a lot of time enjoying the moon rocket. Volunteer Mbali Dumo said it was inspiring for him to be able to share his knowledge about the equipment and variety of scientific projects available at the centre. He was operating the human gyroscope – a simulation of what it feels like to be in the space.

City will not tolerate taxi driver’s unlawful behaviour T
he City of Cape Town is determined to root out irregular behaviour by the taxi drivers in the Cape Town central business district. JP Smith, the Mayco member safety and security, describes the behaviour of the taxi drivers as intolerable. He was responding to claims of bullying and intimidation by the drivers against law enforcement officers when they issued warrants to the drivers on Tuesday 15 October. It is alleged a feud ensued between the officers and the drivers, and an off-duty police officer was robbed of a firearm. “Be that as it may, the actions of the group cannot be condoned,” he says. He warns drivers to abide by the law and be prepared to be held accountable when they fail to do so. “It is our understanding that taxi drivers were upset about a warrant operation that

was taking place, where officers issued Section 72 notices for offenders to appear in court,” Smith says. He says the City enforces the National Road Traffic Act, which is a legislation applicable to all road users country-wide, and that the City does not determine fine amounts. “These are set by the Western Cape government,” he said Smith added that the law applies equally to everyone. He says the actions by the drivers seem to be part of a new trend of violent reaction to the rule of law and would not be tolerated. Sgt Noloyiso Rwexana, the provincial police spokesperson, confirmed that a police officer was robbed of a firearm and a case of robbery had been opened and the circumstances surrounding this matter were being investigated. She said no arrests were made yet.

Sexual misconduct in schools no joke NETTALIE VILJOEN
M
emes poking fun at something that shouldn’t be a laughing matter flooded social media following the release of Bishops Diocesan College principal Guy Pearson’s statement that the prestigious private school is investigating allegations of misconduct by one of its teachers. According to the Sexual Offences Amendment Act, the age of consent is 16 for boys and girls in South Africa. This means a consenting relationship between an 18-year-old and a 30-year-old, for example, is not deemed a criminal act. However, Dr John Buswell, chief executive officer (CEO) of Rape Wise, says when the older person is someone who holds a position of authority over the younger, it could hold severe emotional implications. Rape Wise is an organisation made up of health care professionals who are responsible for running rape crisis centres and who provides training to the departments of education, health and justice. Buswell says Rape Wise handles about 200 to 300 such cases a year. In some instances, learners engage in sexual relationships with teachers in exchange for extra marks or extra tuition.
He poses the question: “The moment the one party is in a position of authority over the other, the relationship is manipulative and, therefore, wrong. The problem is, as the younger party, how do you break away from it?” He says learners often feel forced to continue with the relationship. This can lead to anxiety attacks, panic attacks and even idealisation of suicide. “Learners are not emotionally mature enough to handle a stressful situation like this. It can lead to not wanting to attend class or to failing exams,” he explains. The South African Council of Educators’ (Sace) code of conduct stipulates that teachers should refrain from improper physical contact with learners; from courting learners from any school; from any form of sexual harassment (physical or otherwise) of learners; and from any form of sexual relationship with learners from any school. Teachers accused of contravening these stipulations can be called to appear before a Sace tribunal and, if found guilty, it has the right to remove them from Sace’s registered list of teachers, barring them from teaching again. According to Sace’s 2018/2019 annual report, the occurrence of sexual abuse in schools is increasing.
Reports of sexual abuse by teachers rose by more than 230% since 2014, Sace told parliament on Wednesday 9 October, when it presented its findings to the portfolio committee on basic education, Media24 reported. Sace CEO, Ella Mokgalane reportedly said 636 files were opened during the year under review. Of the cases dealt with by Sace, 93 were of sexual misconduct. Buswell says it is important for parents to keep communication channels with their children open. “And they should not be enforced. Children should feel free to approach parents. They need to know that their parents will listen and advise, not judge,” he says. A change in children’s’ behaviour should be a warning sign for parents. This could include increased anxiousness, withdrawing from social and school activities or becoming secretive or private about what they are doing. “Also keep an eye on their social media activity. Do they have a startled or fearful response to a message? Is there a change in their habitual use? For example, where they previously would read and answer WhatsApp messages in front of family members, are they now going to their room to do so,” Buswell concludes.

CIVIC AWARDS
Subcouncil 17 celebrates residents LEBOGANG TLOU @lebsie210
I
n celebration of exemplary service to the community, subcouncil 17 held its civic awards ceremony on Tuesday 15 October at the Athlone stadium, where 26 certificates of merit were awarded. Subcouncil 17 consists of three wards, and stretches from Athlone, through Crawford, Penlyn Estate and Hanover Park, through to Manenberg. The ceremony, which was well attended, recognised the efforts of community members from wards 48, 49 and 60 who have impacted the lives of the other residents in their communities. In her welcome address, subcouncil 17 manager, Christa Liebenberg, welcomed all in the spirit of recognising outstanding achievements and services volunteered towards enhancing the ward communities by citizens. “Subcouncil 17 is tonight honouring meaningful contributions by individuals and organisations,” said Liebenberg. “I cannot help but feel the sense of wonder and gratitude to be here in the presence of the receivers of these awards.” Subcouncil chairperson, George March delivered a heart-warming address to the assembled guests, where he encouraged other members of the community to follow the example set by the recipients of the evening’s civic honours. “If residents work together with the subcouncil, we can create opportunities for personal growth, as well as safer communities,” said March. “Bestowing civic honours is a gesture to acknowledge those who have gone the extra mile in their unselfish service to humanity. “You as individuals and organizations are honoured for your outstanding service and contribution to the community of subcouncil 17.” March said. Among the prestigious guests were execu-
The Subcouncil 17 civic award ceremony was very well attended by members of the community. tive mayor Dan Plato, and local celebrity activist, actress and singer, Sylvia “Mama Kaap” Mdunyelwa Kobas – who further honoured guests with a soul-reaching jazzacapella song asking: “where are the children; where do they eat?” in her lyrics. Mayor Dan Plato expressed his gratitude for having an evening dedicated to celebrating the positive aspects to developing the good in the city’s communities. “I want to thank subcouncil 17 for getting us all here together,” Plato said. “It’s good to sometimes get people together to just say thank you.” There were 26 certificates awarded in total, to the following recipients:
Rabinowitz brings ‘Late Bloomer’ to Baxter Stand-up comic Nik Rabinowitz returns to the Baxter Concert Hall from 26 November with his latest special Late Bloomer. South Africa’s original Xhosa-speaking, Jewish leg-spinner turned comedian’s new stand-up show gets under his skin, literally, as he ruminates over his recent DNA test results and a host of other pressing issues in his hilarious and insensitive manner. Join Nik as he tries to figure out who he is, where he came from, where he’s going, and how he ended up here, with a wife, three kids, two animals, one mortgage and the vague feeling that he should pack up everything and move back to Lithuania. A former Stand Up of the Year winner, Rabinowitz has over the past 18 years established himself as one of the country’s premier comics. He’s toured internationally, including Nigeria, the Netherlands, Australia, Canada, the United States of America (USA)
and the United Kingdom (UK), where he’s appeared at The Royal Albert Hall, on BBC 2’s Mock the Week, and outside a bar in Bristol in 1993 which he couldn’t get into. Late Bloomer runs until 14 December at the Baxter Concert Hall, Tuesdays to Saturdays at 20:00. There is an age restriction of 14. Tickets cost R140 to R180. To qualify for early bird specials book by 31 October and pay R112 (Tuesdays) and R144 (Wednesdays to Saturdays) on selected seats. Tickets for scholars, students and pensioners cost R112 (Tuesdays) and R144 (Wednesday to Saturdays). Tickets for block bookings of 10 or more cost R126 (Tuesdays) and R166 (Wednesday to Saturdays). For discounted school or group block bookings, fundraisers or charities, contact Carmen on 021 680 3993 or email carmen.kearns@uct.ac.za. V Bookings at Webtickets www.webtickets.co.za or selected Pick n Pay stores.

Parklife music fever to hit Cape Town in December Parklife: Music in the Park Festival returns for its fourth edition, which will be held at the Muizenberg Park in Cape Town on Sunday 1 December. The festival welcomes the city’s music and food-loving festival-goers for a Sunday in the park with some of South Africa’s top musical talents. Modern folk hit-maker Jeremy Loops, indie-folk sensation Matthew Mole, Cape Town’s talented Sean Koch, and musos Diamond Thug – and all the way from down under, Australia’s indie-folk band, Sons of East will perform. In May Sons of East released their third studio EP Burn Right Through, featuring singles “Nothing Comes Easy”, “Silver Lining” and “It Must Be Luck”, along with a collection of new songs that
further the band’s modern, indie-folk sound. Loops will be warming up before the festival with his headlining United Kingdom (UK) performances at the O2 Academy Brixton in November. The festival has cemented itself as Cape Town’s ultimate live music and food festival, and it promises not to disappoint. Festival-goers are welcome to bring blankets and camping chairs, and there will be a designated area for umbrellas. Parklife is the perfect day out for the entire family and a relaxed way to kick off the holiday in the Mother City. Tickets are on sale now at R295 for adults and R195 for youth under 18. V Tickets are available from https://breakout.howler.co.za/parklifecpt.

Rubber to burn at Killarney at the weekend K
illarney race track will burn rubber the coming weekend as Killarney Motor Show returns. The event will give car enthusiasts an opportunity to ride along as the drivers of the E36 Cup throw their BMW 3 Series racers sideways on the Extreme Arena. The E36 is the third-generation BMW 3 Series, built from 1990 to 2000; immensely popular in South Africa to this day, it’s regarded as one of the best-balanced and most ‘chuckable’ sports sedans ever offered to local petrol-heads. Powered by a screaming three-litre straight six, it’s a popular basis for rallycross and drifting specials. Local groups at the E36 Cup race these models in main circuit races or rallycross, and they’ll have about 10 cars on parade at the Killarney Motor Show on Sunday 27 October, ready to give you the ride of your life. The cars are modified for racing with very short gearing so, although their top speed is only around 185km/h, their acceleration is electrifying – and will be even more so in the tight confines of the Extreme Arena. To be part of the action will cost you R200 for five intense laps; the ride is open to all adults and children who are tall enough to see over the dashboard when strapped in. The E36 crew will provide you with a crash helmet and strap you in for the slide of your life. Book at the E36 pits at the end of the main straight, where the dragstrip crosses the Kfm Straight. You won’t have to wait there for your turn – the crew will tell you exactly when your ride is scheduled, so you can go off and enjoy the Killarney Motor Show until then. That includes a full Tar Oval Racing event; you’ll get to see them at no extra cost at the biggest, most hands-on motor show in the Western Cape, open from 10:00am to 5:00pm. This year’s show will feature no less than four active circuits, starting with the Tar Oval, where the ‘Stockies’ will be in action all day. Next door to that is the Extreme Arena, where you’ll experience non-stop entertainment including the E36 Passenger Rides, stunts, drifting, burnouts, classic motorcycle and even vintage tractor parades and tugo-war contests. There will be public karting on the ‘K’ circuit, while the new car dealers have their own dedicated test drive circuit for the first time, offering test drives on the latest models
Car enthusiasts take a look at vehicles during the Killarney Motor show last year.
all day. Dakar Rally hero Kobus Potgieter will be running a round of the Western Cape Foot-Up Trials championship over all sorts of natural obstacles on the back straight, while international stunt stars the Le Riche brothers will amaze you with impossible stunts on two wheels, including riding almost four metres straight up the side of a truck! All of this in a new, more accessible layout that includes an entirely new category of exhibitors and fascinating new displays, live music and a fun fair in the pits paddock offering exciting rides for children of all ages
and more than 100 stalls selling just about anything you can think of for your car – and your tummy, with a huge variety of watering holes serving ice-cold drinks, sit-down eateries and takeaway vendors. But it’s really all about the cars, trucks and motorcycles, with close to 1 300 vehicles on show, including new models not seen before in the Western Cape (some of which you’ll actually get the chance to drive on the Test Circuit), classic and exotic cars bearing names such as Porsche, Jaguar and Alfa Romeo from 1902 to the 1980s, and powerful racing cars and bikes. The Streetcar Show on
the Porsche Club Straight will feature cars of all types and sizes, customised inside and out and modified as only the Mother City’s petrol-heads can do it, into ‘hot rods’, American-style muscle-cars and ‘stance cars’ lowered to within millimetres of the tar. Nearly all of the vehicles on show are driven to Killarney; that’s what the biggest motor show in the Western Cape is all about. It’s for real – and you’re invited! V Book at Computicket (https://tickets.computicket.com/event/killarney_motor_show/6926375) or pay at the gate, both events for R100 for adults, R40 for scholars under 16 and free if you’re under 12.
Thistle slips up With the lead changing hands on a few occasions, Thistle Baseball Club let go of a 10-7 lead after five innings, to allow Helderberg Pirates to snatch a 11-10 victory in their Cape Town Baseball Federation Promotion League clash at the Ottery Baseball Fields on Saturday 19 October. Pirates opened the scoring with two runs in the first innings. Thistle replied immediately with four runs. Pirates took the lead again with three runs in the second and one run in the third innings. Thistle bounced back and took an 8-6 lead after three innings. Both teams scored a run each in the fourth innings. Thistle scored another run in the fifth inning to hold a 10-7 lead. Pirates bounced back with a run each in the sixth and seventh inning and two runs in the eighth innings to complete their comeback and secure a 11-10 victory.
