Safety on show The 2020 State of the Province Address (Sopa) held in Mitchell’s Plain on Thursday 20 February was history in the making as the first venue to host a parliamentary sitting and Sopa outside the parliamentary chambers and precinct. The address saw residents and invited guests join in on the occasion. The event was held at the Rocklands civic centre and was preceded by a platoon parade by members of the provincial safety structures. Pictured, the Metro police equestrian unit formed part of the parade procession. Read story on page 8. PHOTO: SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS

Attorney makes it count AVRIL FILLIES
T
he need for primary school learners to understand the fundamentals of mathematics is the reason why attorney Mierwhaan Manan is sharing his knowledge at Heideveld and Athwood primary schools in Hanover Park these past three years. “You don’t need to be tech-savvy to understand maths, science and computers. All you need is a pen, a lot of paper, a bin (for the scrap paper with the mistakes) and determination,” he says. He says nobody gets everything right the first time, you need to make mistakes and you learn from your mistakes. Mathematics is not a spectator “sport” it is a participation “sport”. Manan has a BSc (maths) from the Washington and Lee University in the United
States of America, a management degree from the Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT), a LLB from the University of the Western Cape that he completed in a record time, and a post-graduate diploma in legal practice (UCT). “Between my BSc (maths) and LLB degrees it is difficult to choose as I love both disciplines.” Why law after a degree in mathematics? “Initially. I was interested in environmental law and because I was in Information Technology I became interested in internet law; of how contracts are concluded when everything is being done online. “Furthermore, at my previous employment (Pathcare) I became the chair of the staff association which impelled me towards disciplinary hearings and hence an interest of criminal litigation. At the same time, I became chair of the Pathcare Retirement Fund which
gave me a keen attentiveness in Social Security Law. So the law discipline became a natural progression,” he says. Manan says often primary school teachers are not trained in maths, yet they find themselves teaching the subject. To remedy this each primary school needs a teacher with at least a successful year in maths/science at tertiary level to teach the subject. “The primary school math/science teachers should attend a class where they are taught all the essential ground rules in the syllabus,” Manan says. He says it takes a village to raise a child and there is a need for maths intervention in primary schools. “The damage that is done in primary school from teachers who are not equipped to teach maths is difficult to undo, and students strug-
gle with basic concepts and develop a dislike for the subject,” he says. “Students struggle with maths and science because there is not enough repetition and cementing of fundamentals at primary school level and concepts that teachers don’t understand themselves are skipped or they are taught incorrectly.” Manan is one of two partners at Samuels and Manan Attorneys (S&M Attorneys). “In the mornings I am in court and in the afternoon I try to help at a school, teaching maths. Sometimes I have a student at my house and at night I do legal research and prepare for the next day. This is how I combine the two,” he explains. His role models growing up were his mom, Salega Manan, and his late dad, Abduraghmaan Manan. V Continued on page 3.

CAPE TOWN
For the love of dance A
s young as he is, Tyron Zoutman has already won a string of local and international awards for dance, choreography, scriptwriting and direction. And the 27-year-old dancer, singer and choreographer, who grew up in impoverished circumstances in the tiny Swartland town of Piketberg, will once again play a leading role in this year’s Cape Town Carnival, taking place on Saturday 21 March on the Fan Walk. Performing alongside several other highly talented dancers in the Honouring our African Cultural Roots pod of this year’s festival, Zoutman will help to bring to life the carnival’s theme, Incredible Journey: Sounds of South Africa. The routine will combine traditional and contemporary African dance, and draw inspiration in movement, dress and adornment from isiZulu, isiXhosa, seSotho and Ndebele cultures. Zoutman, who is skilled in local hip-hop, kwaito, gumboot, African jazz and African fusion dance – among several other genres – attributes his success to his mother, his church and “some incredible teachers and mentors”. “They shaped who and what I am today,” he says. “I came from a family that was very spiritual and artistic, and my childhood was sort of like a ‘God journey’ with teachers like Miss Hefca and the late Roderick Beukes seeing talent in me, then pushing me in the right direction,” he says.

FROM PAGE 1 “My dad woke up early every day and went to work in a factory as a presser at Rex Trueform. I learnt to get up, show up and have a good work ethic. God bless his soul. “My mom was a dressmaker and worked from home. She made the house a home with love, open communication and respect. She was also a disciplinarian. She is a difficult act to follow, and I am still learning from her as she lives with me,” he says. Manan went to school at Heideveld Primary, which included Standard 6 at the time. Thereafter he spent a year at Cathkin High School and for his senior high school, he attended Trafalgar High School. He says he had a few teachers who were vital in laying his foundation. “At Heideveld Primary School, I had Edmund Swartz and Trevor Armstrong; they taught me something new every day. You have to learn something every day. At the end of every day, one must be bigger and more than you were when you woke up that morning, that’s how you grow. “At Trafalgar High, I had masterful teachers in maths – Victor Parry and Goosain Emeran – and in science, Saleh Adams. These teachers were nothing short of giants in their fields.” Manan grew up in Heideveld and lived there for approximately 30 years. “We were six, later seven siblings in a one- and later two-bedroom council dwelling (in a court of flats). With nine individuals in a two-bedroom dwelling, it was interesting, exciting and challenging at times,” he says. According to Manan, learners or students’ willingness to get an education and plough back into their communities is linked to their moral convictions. “For me it is paramount. ‘Umntu ngumn-
tu ngabantu’. We are because of others, so you can’t just take, you have to give back. I am reminded that ‘it is when you give of yourself that you truly give’ (Kahlil Gibran). “So, let the season of giving be yours, give your expertise by ploughing back into your community. That is the right thing to do,” he says. In the past, Manan and his business partner, Labiek Samuels, donated an hour of their time every week on the radio, advising the community on legal issues. Today he assists in mathematics at primary school level because he feels that’s where the need is the greatest. Some afternoons he gives math classes, but work sometimes gets in the way of his intention to reach out to learners. In 1982 and 1983, Manan was also instrumental in having Heideveld library extended to the size it is today. “The one thing I would change where I currently live in Summer Greens, Milnerton, is to get the ward councillor to budget for a library and then run maths and chess classes from there. Kids will then have a place to study, learn and have some type of fun,” he says. Manan says it is so satisfying to see the lights go on in a student. “The sight of a student getting excited about some new-found knowledge is priceless.” Going back to whether mathematics and law are mutually exclusive, Manan says, “I would concede for the most part they are, however, mathematics is about rules and the application thereof and the legal fraternity is about laws and the function thereof. And life is about rules/laws and the usage thereof. It would, therefore, appear that mathematics, law and life are all about a higher power and the submission to it.”

Police work yields jail time T
he acting station commander at Lansdowne police station, Col Carol Fisher has applauded the work of her detectives who have put three criminals behind bars for eight years. The detectives were led by Capt Riedewaan Hare, who investigated separate incidents. In the first incident on 23 March last year in Ottery, opposite Christel House, a the 70-year-old woman and her son (39) were robbed of their groceries, R600 cash and cellphones, at knifepoint by two men. The thugs ran away towards Freedom Park informal settlement. The victims were able to give a clear description of the suspects. On 14 April last year one suspect was spotted in Freedom Park by the complainant, who called the police. They arrested him. Two days later another suspect was arrested.
TM
Both accused Kevin Jacobs and Lance August pleaded guilty on charges of robbery with aggravating circumstances and both accused were sentenced for eight years imprisonment of which four years are suspended for the period of five years on condition that the accused are not convicted of robbery with aggravating circumstances, robbery common and/or theft committed during the period of suspension. The judgement was delivered on Wednesday 29 January. . In an unrelated case, Shaun Shank (32) from Hanover Park was sentenced to five years imprisonment in the Wynberg magistrate’s court on Monday 27 January. On 12 May 2019 Shank robbed a man at knifepoint, taking two cellphones and R50. The man (30) was walking in Flamingo Crescent on his way to
work when he was confronted by two men and a woman who took his belongings. He ran to Lansdowne police station to report the robbery. Police looked for the suspects and caught them within five minutes. . Another man (33) has been sentenced after he handed himself over to police after claiming that his vehicle was hijacked on Saturday 15 February at 13:15 at the corner Imam Haron and Belmont roads in Rondebosch East. Lansdowne police’s Sergeant Khululekile Hashe and Sergeant Amin Qolo investigated the man’s claims, but found it didn’t add up. The man handed himself over to the police. He explained that he was busy with personal business using a company vehicle during working hours and decided to lie. He has appeared in the Wynberg magistrate’s court.

Spreading hope and awareness RAGHEEMAH ARENDS
O
ver the years the Cancer Association of South Africa’s (CANSA) annual Relay For Life has become an anticipated charity event for many communities, and this year’s overnight relay on Friday 21 February into Saturday 22 February was no different. The Athlone leg of the event took place at Turfhall Stadium and featured an array of activities that paid homage to survivors, current patients, their families and those who lost their lives as a result of cancer. “Cancer is definitely not a death sentence. It doesn’t mean that you are going to die. If it’s detected at an early stage, which happened in my case, then there’s much that can be done,” said Bridgette Watlington Carelse, a breast cancer survivor who was diagnosed in 1995 and has been participating in the relay since its inception. Carelse hopes the youth will be more aware of the different types of lifestyles and how unhealthy habits can negatively impact their health. “Our young people will come to realise how precious life is and that life choices are important because it does contribute to the condition of your health,” she said. Sakeenah Oberay, a relay supporter for more than five years, recalled how tough it was to see a loved one battle with an illness. “My granddaughter has been diagnosed with leukaemia and it has been a very difficult period – it still is.” Oberay added that early detection is key. “If she had not been diagnosed with leukaemia, we wouldn’t have known about the G1 ward at Red Cross (Hospital) and all the brilliant work being done.” Karen Jansen, secretary of the CANSA Relay For Life Athlone, said they managed to raise R213 411 at this year’s event. The proceeds are to finance various initiatives like Tough Living with Cancer (TLC) and education and awareness. “There are so many cancer patients out there not on medical aid and our hospitals are overloaded with long waiting queues for appointments,” she said. “We believe more communities should be educated and supported so that early detection is possible and can save more lives. Our involvement gets the message out via educating teams so that one day we can live in a world without cancer,” she concluded.

DEVELOPMENT
Improving lives through education M
ore than 150 City of Cape Town employees from areas such as Mitchell’s Plain, Athlone, Khayelitsha, Mfuleni, Joe Slovo and Gugulethu have taken the opportunity to further their education through the City’s Adult Education Training (AET) programme. The programme is offered to all City staff members who are without the first qualification on the national qualifications framework. The programme has been running successfully and empowering staff for over 20 years. “The AET programme is inspiring on so many levels and demonstrates how eager our people are to equip themselves with knowledge and to move forward in life. People want to improve their situations and this programme provides them with the structure and support to do so,” says Mayco member for corporate services, Sharon Cottle. Over the past week, the 2020 intake of learners completed the orientation and are now equipped to start with their learning. Four of the learners are going on to AET level four this year in order to attain their Grade 12 qualification and eight learners will be working towards their General Education and Training Certificate (GETC). AET provides aspiring learners with a foundation for lifelong learning. The group this year ranges between the ages of 30 and 65, with the majority falling within the 40 to 50 age bracket. The City elected Nomfundo Noranya and Shadley Visagie – two particularly inspiring learners to deliver words of encouragement to the new group at the AET orientation event. Noranya, lives in Khayelitsha and works within the City’s health department in Brackenfell. At 50, she is more motivated
than ever to pursue her GETC qualification. She started on level two of the AET programme in 2017. “My life has changed a lot since I started this programme. I’m able to manage myself very well through life-orientation learning and my facilitator has taught me a lot about emotional intelligence. “I’m working as a cleaner but I can proudly say that the City is interested in my development and I am currently being trained as an office assistant. I have been exposed to many places I never thought I would see and can’t wait to complete my GETC qualification, and do my matric,” says Noranya. Shadley Visagie, a 48-year-old from Athlone, works as an operational supervisor driver within the City’s solid waste department. Shadley started on level three of the AET programme in 2018 and completed level four in 2019. He strongly believes that one should never let anyone tell you that you are not capable or too old to achieve something. “Keep the faith and remember you have made the right choice to empower yourself. Just stay dedicated; committed and keep a positive mindset. If learners keep working hard, there is no doubt that they will go from strength to strength and progress to the next level,” says Visagie. Levels one to three of the programme focus on language literacy; communication skills and numeracy. Thereafter, learners progress to AET level four where they complete the first qualification which is the GETC. Thereafter a six-month programme is offered to bridge the gap of Grades 10 and 11 in preparation for the Grade 12 qualification.

Sopa speaks to ‘wants and needs’ SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS @Samantha_Lee121
T
he 2020 State of the Province Address (Sopa), delivered by Western Cape premier Alan Winde on Thursday in Rocklands, was his second in his five-year term since his election last year. The address highlighted the successes of the past seven months and outlined the plans put in place by the current government for change, development, growth and improvement in the province. Key matters raised in Winde’s speech were employment, electricity outages and economic growth.
Winde started his speech by outlining some of the recent successes in service delivery, including the safety plan and deployment of 500 additional law enforcement officials, and the province being named the top job creator in the country. “In the national government stats released last week, it was announced that the Western Cape created 24 000 new jobs for the quarter, more than half of the net jobs created in our country. We are South Africa’s jobs province,” said Winde. “When I delivered my first Sopa in July last year, we vowed to ‘get to work’. Over the past seven months, we have certainly done just that. Since being elected, I have visited doz-

ens of communities, I have met with thousands of citizens, and we have received tens of thousands of emails, texts and calls, telling us what you want and need,” said Winde. “We have heard you. You don’t want smart cities and bullet trains. You want working cities and normal trains that get you to where you need to be, safely and on time. You want a government that focuses on getting the basics right, and actually delivers.” Winde shared a four-point plan to make the province less reliant on Eskom, therefore relieving residents of load shedding. The decision comes after an announcement by president Cyril Ramaphosa in his State of the Nation Address (Sona) on Thursday 13 February where he announced provinces could generate their own energy. Winde said the province was a goldmine for renewable energy. However, he expressed concerns that the province may not be able to benefit as the president had not outlined the stipulations of producing its own energy. After the spate of school break-ins and vandalism, the province would also look to install 30 high-security fences at schools each year for the next 30 years to keep learners and teachers safe, said Winde. Further, Winde said the province would continue to fight for the management rights of the rail system in the province, stating “we can do it better”. While this request has been denied on several occasions, Winde said they would conduct a feasibility study on moving control of rail away from the national government. The local government would also introduce a game-changing minibus pilot project which would use technology to monitor and improve the behaviour of taxi drivers. “There will be increased investment in public transport infrastructure, including ranks, stops and shelters, to im-
prove the daily experience of taxi commuters,” said Winde. Funding in excess of R250 million has been made available from the private sector, the national government and the City of Cape Town to ensure 1 000 unemployed youth are trained and placed in jobs in the next financial year. The plans for the next five years in office were guided by the several visits conducted by Winde and his cabinet and includes safety and corruption concerns. “Bolstering the forensic unit which looks into municipal matters to strengthen accountability at this level of government and to root out any risk for potential corruption,” he said. “You told us your families are not safe because drugs, gangs and gender-based violence are tearing them apart. Within less than four months of taking office, we have delivered. In September, we launched a comprehensive, province-wide safety plan aimed at halving the murder rate,” he said. More needed to be done in working together with other government departments and spheres, said Winde. “I also have to be frank with you. South Africa is in bad shape. Last week, we heard from the president that youth unemployment is at an all-time high,” said Winde. “Fewer jobs also mean less tax money, which means budget cuts to health and education departments across the country.” He welcomed the decision to bolster youth employment and development programmes and offered some of the province’s successful projects as blueprints. He stated that with more funding from the national government, this would be more successful and would assist in stemming the unemployment issue in the country. Winde concluded his address with a promise to not rest until this change was felt by everyone in the Western Cape.

Rain puts skids on results GOOSAIN ABRAHAMS
T
he stakes for promotion in the Western Province Cricket Association’s First Division A has heightened following the last round of fixtures played on Saturday 22 February. Rain had a significant impact on the results with the teams batting second benefitting from the reduced overs. Log leaders Green Point were shocked by lowly placed Kuils River who won by 6 wickets thanks to an undefeated 51 by Aldo Jantjies. It’s now become a three-horse race with Primrose and Rylands breathing down their necks following their wins over Kraaifontein ( by 19 runs) and Milnerton (by 4 wickets ) respectively. The biggest losers of the day were United who posted the highest score of the day 273/6 against Ottomans but a wet pitch thwarted
their attempts at victory. For United Saulieg Raynard (98) was the top scorer and was, unfortunately, run out short of a deserving century. In the Premier League, Bellville bounced back to the victory trail by the narrowest of margins via a 2-run win over Claremont. UWC enhanced their position on the log with a comfortable 8-wicket win over Brackenfell. Results: Premier League: Bellville beat Claremont by 2 runs on the Duckworth/Lewis method. Bellville 229 (Gerhard Janse van Vuuren 78, Marcus Fourie 47, Aaron Smith 23; Gavin Dickenson 5/48, Darren Stevens 2/23). Claremont 136/9 (Darren Stevens 40, Matthew de Villiers 38; Justin Dill 4/17, Evert Carstens 2/31, Dirkco Welthmar 2/40). Rondebosch beat Langa by 9 wickets

Super League title race hots up NOORE NACERODIEN
I
t was another bumper double-header weekend for the Cape Town Softball Association. The race for the title of Super League champions was turned up a notch when Lavender Hill surprisingly dropped points against Glenthorn A’s in their women’s Super League clash at the Turfhall Softball stadium in Belthorn Estate on Saturday 22 February. The A’s batters were in top form by taking 10 hits off the Lavender Hill pitching pair of Melissa Savage and Grivonne Rhoda. Leading the offence were Chante Pepino (2-2) and Candice Ross (2-3). Chaunees Goliath kept the Lavender Hill batters at bay giving up just four scattered singles. Lavender Hill’s closest rivals Westridge Yankees had another superb weekend beating Heideveld Yankees (17-0) on Saturday and Glenthorn A’s (11-4) on Sunday 23 February. After Glenthorn’s superb performance on Saturday, they came unstuck against Yankees on Sunday. The game was marred by four defensive errors by Yankees in the first innings. Nazeem Dulvie, Yankees’ coach, gave his charges a tongue lashing and they finally pulled their game together. Barring the errors, Nathalie Abrahams and Megan Cable gave up only one hit each in the game. A’s rotated their pitchers to stem the tide of the Yankees batters to no avail. Chaunees Goliath, Lisa Erasmus and Moesfiekah Abdurahman gave up 12 hits to the Yankees batters. In the late game on Sunday, the young Falcons pitcher, Amy Minnies, could not contain the Lavender Hill batters giving up nine hits, including a triple to Melissa Savage. Antonio de Bruyn and Kelsey Fortuin topped the batting with a 2-3 average each. Rhoda and Savage again shared the pitching duties for Lavender Hill and jointly gave up a mere 4 hits and striking out 8 batters. In the Major League, Yankees secured the title over the weekend. On Saturday they despatched with Belhar Dolphins (17-1) and beat Kuils River Cougars (23-1) on Sunday.
