WORLD SUICIDE PREVENTION DAY
Spotlight on mental health NOMZAMO YUKU @NomzamoYuku

U
rgent intervention is needed to raise awareness about mental health issues in the country and across the globe. So says Christopher Kleynhans, founder of Swim for Change. He was speaking at a public demonstration on Tuesday 10 September to promote awareness about mental health and suicide prevention. The demonstration was held at the Fanwalk bridge in the CBD. Over 1 000 black and green ribbons were attached to the pillars of the bridge to highlight World Suicide Prevention Day, commemorated globally on 10 September. The black ribbons were in remembrance of those who committed suicide while the green ones represented the importance of raising awareness about mental health. Kleynhans says mental health is often viewed as a sign of weakness – and a “patriarchal culture is one of the things that make it so much worse”. He says Swim for Change has been trying to change people’s mindset and to spread the word around mental health since 2015. The youth-driven non-profit-organisation focuses on mental health awareness and suicide prevention. Sadly though, not much has changed according to him. “We have seen no change in support around mental health and people are committing suicide every day in South Africa. The situation needs urgent intervention.” He says discussions regarding mental health and suicide prevention must be made a priority and various mechanisms should be put in place at schools and workplaces to help people understand the conditions associated with mental health. With the event in the CBD, they wanted to send a message to the government that they are not doing enough to prioritise mental health. “Mental health is a global health priority and it starts with effective national leadership. The government has many strategic plans in place, but does not get very far in implementing them,” says Kleynhans. He says there are several communitybased organisations such as the Counselling
Hub, who charges a minimum of R50 per session. He advises the public to seek help when they suspect or feel like they are developing suicidal thoughts and that they should not
take it as a sign of weakness. “It is a proactive step towards turning your life around,” concludes Kleynhans. V For more information visit www.swimfor-

“I do it out of love, nothing else,” says Ma Sally. “I don’t ask, I knit the jerseys. When it’s cold I think ‘Oh, there’s a child with a jersey on’.” Ma Sally, who is a retired domestic assistant, says knitting is therapeutic to her. “For me, it’s like a therapy. It keeps my brain working.” Ma Sally, who grew up in the countryside of Groot Drankenstein, moved to Cape Town at the age of 17 following her parents’ divorce in the late 1950s. “I had to leave school to go work before completing my senior certificate. Then I came to Cape Town in my early years and started working as a domestic servant until I got married to my husband,” she says. “18 January 1969,” her husband Joseph adds to the conversation. According to Ma Sally, she had a relatively stable life from then. “I had a place to stay in District 6. We lived there for 10 years, in a room. Then we bought this little house and we’re still here, for 40 years.” Ma Sally and Joseph have two daughters: José Franz, who is deputy vice-chancellor of the University of the Western Cape, and Deirdre Spandiel, an occupational therapist in George. Ma Sally says, she gave up working as a domestic assistant 30 years ago when her first grandchild, Jody, was born so that José could return to her studies. “That’s when I carried on with my love for knitting,” says Ma Sally, who believes that those whom she knits for don’t have to know where the jerseys come from. She says there is no greater feeling than being able to continue serving the world.
Even though Ma Sally prefers knitting in plain wool for schools she supplies from the goodness of her heart, her talent and meditative concentration skills are visible in the jumpers she knitted for herself and her husband for their getaway later in the year. PHOTO: BENITA JAFTHA “Like I say, it’s like a therapy,” explains Ma Sally. “Knowing that I can do good at this age is a feeling money can’t buy.” Ma Sally is regarded as a mother figure in The Shining Light social community group she belongs to. She says she is thankful above all that she and her husband have set a foundation for their children and grand-
children to continue the tradition of serving their communities. “I thank God that my children and grandchildren are giving,” Ma Sally says. “I wrote this morning in my memory book that it’s all by God’s grace, nothing else. We have nothing without God’s grace.” Despite having five grandchildren, Ma Sally says she does not knit for her grandchildren’s school. “I don’t knit for a school where my grandchildren go, because their parents can afford. I am knitting for schools where there is a need.” Ma Sally says she prefers good quality wool and ensures to always source wool accordingly. “I always buy the best wool. When you do something for the Lord, you give your best – that’s my belief.” She was nominated for a Community Champions Elders Award by Parkvale Primary through one of the school’s regular volunteer assistants, Rhonda Arendse. “Ma Sally is a loving, caring, wingless angel,” Arendse wrote in the nomination. “Every year she hand-knits jerseys for the needy learners at our school, all this done at no cost.” She produces eight to 10 jerseys at a time for learners, Sarah “Ma Sally” Dantu (centre) surrounded by her angels: her husband, Joseph and members of The which she distributes in abunShining Light community group (from left) Pauline Williams, Charlotte Frazenberg, Johanna Stephens, dance and at no cost, through Rhonda Arendse, Hohanna Bloys, Cathlene Roman and Wilemina Felix.

Crime stats show mixed pictures T
he City Central Police Station remains at the top list of the stations that have the highest number of reports for 17 serious crimes nationally. This is according to the annual crime statistics report released by the national police on Thursday 12 September. The report carries results of crimes that happened between April 2018 and March 2019. This is regardless of the evident drop in the total number of serious cases reported. This year 13 747 cases were reported, which showed a drop by 1 675 as compared to the 2017/2018 statistics. The report shows the following: . A decrease of 581 cases for drug-related crimes, . Murders dropped from eight cases in 2017/2018 to seven cases this year, . Common assault declined by 122 cases this year from 601 last year. Common rob-
bery also dropped from 1 179 to 1 070 this year, . The number of reported house break-ins decreased by 43 cases from 558 incidents reported last year, . Unlike last year, theft out of motor vehicles decreased by 246 cases with 3 710 cases reported this year. There have been few increases in other crimes such as: . Sexual offences increased from 52 incidents last year to 56. This shows growth over the past two years. In Sea Point precinct there has been an increase in the following crimes: . Assault with the intent to inflict grievous bodily harm shows a 100% increase with 18 cases reported as compared to nine that was recorded last year, . Murder cases increased by three cases
this year from the two that were reported last year, . Both common assault and robberies also showed an increase. There is hope is however: . A decrease in the number of sexual offence cases was reported, which dropped by five cases now from the 15 that were reported last year, . Robberies at residential properties dropped from five cases putting the total number reported this year to 11, . Burglary at residential premises decreased from 295 cases to 259 reported cases this year, . Drug-related crime dropped by 194 cases this year as compared to the 743 cases that were reported during the 2017/2018 year. Camps Bay
The Camp Bays policing precinct has maintained its record of having one murder case over five years. However, most contact crime shows an increase, with this year’s report showing a 13.5% increase as compared to 2017/2018. In this category, only common robbery has fewer incidents, with only 15 cases reported as compared to the 22 that were recorded in 2017/2018. There have been increases in the following categories: . Two rape cases were reported this year, and none were reported in 2017/2018, . Robbery at residential premises increased to seven, adding three more cases as compared to the 2017/2018 report, . The numbers of burglaries at residential premises have grown from 158 to 189 since last year, . Theft of motor vehicles and motorcycles, and drug-related crimes decreased.
Stats show police have lost the war on crime – Premier Despite last year’s promises from police minister Bheki Cele and the service he leads, violent crime in the Western Cape remains effectively unchanged, that is according to a statement from premier Alan Winde’s office. He was commenting on the latest crime statistics. They were released on Thursday 12 September, covering the period between April 2018 and March 2019. “I’m deeply concerned that murder increased by 6.6% in the Western Cape. Of these, 47% of incidents occurred in just 10 police stations. The murder to population ratio in the Western Cape is 60 per 100 000 – almost double the national average,” he said. Provincial minister for community safety Albert Fritz also expressed his concern. “Murders reported in the Western Cape account for 18.9% of all murders in the country, while the province only accounts for 11.6% of the population. A total of 11 Western Cape police stations are recorded among the top 30 in the country. This is unacceptable and points to the need for more boots on the ground and more regular statistics. Police need to adopt evidence-based policing, which would lead to deployment at key times in key hotspot locations. We need our police to be in these hotspots be-
fore crimes are committed, not after,” he said. Winde referred to last week’s solidarity protests which saw thousands of people standing up against gender-based violence: “We’ve seen communities impacted by gang violence saying ‘enough’. But when asked about whether heads would roll, minister Bheki Cele said he didn’t believe they should, implying he finds this situation acceptable. President Cyril Ramaphosa and minister Cele should not find the crime situation in this province acceptable at all.” He said as a province they cannot wait for the police to get its house in order. “This government has been working on a safety plan which will focus on both enforcement and protection. We will announce this plan soon. In the meantime, we continue our call for policing to become a provincial mandate as these statistics have shown that the nationally managed police have lost the war on crime.” Fritz said his department will conduct an in-depth analysis of the stats to look at specific trends. “Police management has a lot to answer for, and it is my hope that they will be held accountable for their failure to ensure that the people of this country are safe.”

HERITAGE MONTH
Celebrating marine life heritage NOMZAMO YUKU @NomzamoYuku
A
s part of the ongoing Heritage Month celebrations, Two Oceans Aquarium will host a unique commemoration focusing on a range of species housed at the aquarium. The aquarium will raise awareness on South Africa’s natural and marine heritage through its online audience, using social media posts and blogs. Renée Leeuwner, spokesperson for the aquarium, says heritage is not just about
buildings and artefacts, but also about the country’s endemic animals, marine life and plants that only few people know about. “The more people learn about our natural and marine heritage, the more they will grow to love it, and be inspired to look after it. Whether it is our cultural, traditional or environmental heritage, continued awareness is important,” says Renée. She calls on the public to consider learning about marine heritage and protecting it beyond Heritage Month. Among others, there will be emphasis on

Shelter’s journey recorded in book NOMZAMO YUKU @NomzamoYuku
A
book about the Kenilworth-based Sisters Incorporated, titled Survivors, was launched at Isibaya Room at the Artscape Theatre in the CBD recently. The book records the growth of the shelter over the past 60 years. The shelter works with abused women and their children. In the book, author Dulcie Kirby takes readers on a journey from the time the shelter opened its doors in 1959 to the 1994 transition. She also tells the inspirational stories of the survivors. The book is the brainchild of Lorraine de Villiers, vice-chair of the shelter’s board who was inspired by the “many thank you letters” from the women residing at the shelter during their healing process. “It was time for others in similar situations of gender-based violence to be encouraged to seek healing at places like Sisters In-
corporated,” says Lorraine. Dulcie says the book is relevant to everyone concerned and raises questions about gender-based violence in society. Amelia Jones, chair of the shelter, attributes the shelter’s success to the “solid foundation” laid by the founders 60 years ago, the donors and supporters who enabled the transformation towards the reinvention, the staff and board members that always shows commitment. Proceeds of the book sales will help with the running of the shelter. V The book costs R250 per copy. Contact admin@sisters.org.za or 021 797 4190 to buy a copy or for more information.
The book, Survivors, raises the profile of the victims of gender-based violence and provides an insight into how these women and children are able to strengthen their lives and return to society being confident. From left are Dulcie Kirby, Delene Roberts and Henrietta Du Preez at the book launch.
Where there’s a will, there’s a way NOMZAMO YUKU @NomzamoYuku Talented musician, Lynn Rudolph refuses to give up on her dream of doing her master’s degree in England – she’s been organising fundraising concerts, taking out study loans and working very long hours to make it happen. This past weekend, she held another concert, this time at the Youngblood Art Gallery in the CBD. Lynn, who lives in Kraaifontein, was accepted to the Royal
Birmingham Conservatoire to further her studies. The challenge is to raise enough money to pay for her flights, accommodation, additional living costs and a portion of the tuition fees. Lynn, a music graduate from the University of Stellenbosch, attended a live audition at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire in November last year, where she played the viola. She was immediately accepted into the master’s programme. According to Lynn, the scholarship only

covers 70% of the tuition fee. Since receiving the good news, Lynn has been working tirelessly to make sure she raises enough money to realise her dream. She has already taken out two loans to secure her spot. “I need to raise about R92 000 more before I leave. I cannot expect my almost retired father to use his last earnings on funding the trip as it is their (and her mother’s) only income,” says Lynn. She says studying at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire is an opportunity not to be missed. She’ll be attending the conservatoire for two years. The opportunity came at a time when she was at a crossroads with her career; she had to decide whether to study further or work full-time. “I have always dreamt of this (completing her master’s overseas) but knew I’ll never be able to afford it without a scholarship. I have been passionate about music since the age of six. “It is creative and a form of expressing yourself. You always learn something new,” says Lynn. She hopes to gain tons of experience while studying overseas, which she wants to plough back into the community on her return home. She’s very grateful to her friends, who have been assisting her with her fundraising efforts and Lynn says “they’ve been doing a good job so far”. Thanks to their help, Lynn has already raised around R60 000, which excludes the proceeds from the past weekend’s concert.
Walking in silence for the deaf NETTALIE VILJOEN Hundreds of people from Newlands and the deaf community gathered in the area for the 5km Silent Walk on Friday 6 September. The annual event, arranged by DeafSA Western Cape, is aimed at promoting awareness and understanding of the deaf community in the province. Participants were asked to wear earplugs for the duration of the walk and to communicate using sign language only. Starting from Bastion of the Deaf, corner of Thickett and Hemlock roads, participants followed a route that meandered through Newlands. Premier Alan Winde was one of the energetic people who put on their walking shoes to commemorate Deaf Awareness Month. Provincial ministers Albert Fritz, Sharna Fernandez and Anroux Marias attended. Winde said doing the walk with earplugs in and in complete silence gave him a small glimpse into what the deaf community experiences every day. “I think walking a mile
in someone’s shoes and experiencing what they go through on a daily basis is so important in building understanding and empathy in our society. I encourage other residents to take part next year.” Fritz, the provincial minister of community safety, said it was quite a challenging task as it demonstrated how much we rely on sound in our day-to-day lives. “From a safety perspective, it showed the additional risk that deaf people face as they cannot hear people or things which may threaten their safety. “Even walking on the street can be a challenge as you cannot hear a car hooting.” Fritz said he was grateful for having been invited to the event by DeafSA. “It has increased my awareness and understanding. I look forward to returning again next year,” he said. The event is supported by WesternCape on Wellness (WoW!), a healthy lifestyle initiative of the provincial department of health.
Roadworks at waterfront, use alternative routes The public is warned about the expected traffic interruptions due to roadworks at the V&A Waterfront on Dock Road from Wednesday 18 September to Saturday 30 November. The construction work will include the upgrade of the bulk water pipeline alongside Dock Road. Construction signage will be put in place to mark out the work areas and flagmen will be visible to direct motorists. Motorists are advised to use of the “faster flowing exits” via Granger Bay Boulevard or Portswood Road to join the Helen Suzman Boulevard. The closures will take place as follows: . Throughout the construction period, one lane in the outbound carriage-way will be closed to traffic. All cars will be diverted into the open lane while the works take place. All works will take place inside the closure. In-bound traffic onto Dock Road will be unaffected. Pedestrians will be diverted at Ebenezer Circle using appropriate signage. . From Wednesday 6 to Wednesday 20 November one lane in the inbound carriageway will be closed to traffic after hours (offpeak) to do excavation (diggings) work across the road. All cars will be diverted into the open lane while the works take place and the working area will be adequately marked. Motorists are warned to drive with care, as they will be driving over metal plate covers on a small section of the road during this period. . Between Wednesday 9 October and Monday 4 November, on the outbound of the South Arm Road, a trench will be excavated from the middle towards the pavement in the inbound carriage-way. One lane will be closed to traffic. All cars will be diverted into an open lane while the works take place. This phase will also take place after hours. Excavations will be closed using metal plate covers to allow traffic to flow during the day.

NATIONAL BRAAI DAY
More than meats the eye NETTALIE VILJOEN
T
uesday 24 September is Heritage Day, aka Braai Day; and yes, while salads, sauces and braai broodjies are indispensable supporting acts, for most, the star attraction will be the meat. Jason Allen, the owner of The Hussar Grill in Steenberg, says no matter which cuts you buy or where you shop, meat is expensive. So when you do buy, make sure you buy the best and don’t waste your money by overbraaing it. People’s Post recently joined Allen at the Silwood School of Cookery in Rondebosch for a Steak Masterclass where he shared advice on how to do exactly that. Firstly, he says, don’t deviate from quality and always buy fresh. “Unless you have a long-standing relationship with your butcher, stay away from prepacked marinated meat,” he says. Jason also recommends that you rather buy your meat from a butcher than a supermarket. “The problem with buying meat from big chain stores is that you are not always sure what you are buying.” He explains that besides the grade of meat, you also have to take into consideration the beef’s breed and if it was grain- or grass-fed. A booklet handed out at the masterclass says South Africa produces 85% of its own beef with the rest being imported from Botswana, Namibia and New Zealand. Local breeds include the Nguni, Afrikaner, Brahman, Angus cross-breeds. Feeding techniques have an impact on marbling (streaks of fat in lean meat) and the ratios of unsaturated fats versus saturated fats. “At Husser Grill, we serve A-grade, grainfed Angus beef. If you want flavour, buy meat with marbling, or better still, meat that is still on the bone. But be careful not to mistake marbling for sinew. Fat has a slightly yellow tinge to it while sinew has a shiny, white colour,” he says. Allen says there is nothing worse than

PHOTO: NETTALIE VILJOEN chewing and chewing on a piece of sinew. “Simply remove the lining of sinew by sliding a sharp knife under it. There is no need to dig into the meat, the sinew usually cuts away quite easily.” The tenderness of the meat has a lot to do with the muscle it is cut from X the work the muscle does and the rate it does it at. Meat cut from the shin, leg and cheek, for instance, do a lot of work and need slow, long cooking. Rump, the most popular steak in South Africa, is cut from the hindquarter which needs to be matured. It has a layer of fat that provides extra flavour. Fillet does little or no work. It can be served rare to medium-rare. Of all the cuts, fillet is by far the most tender and it has almost zero fat content. It is cut from the long muscle which runs underneath the backbone of the animal. Jason says if you are going to buy a head of fillet don’t go smaller than 1.8kg and no bigger than 2.2kg. “If it falls out of these perimeters it might be a sign that there was something wrong with the cattle. Either it was under-nourished or it was injected to grow faster.” When it comes to the actual braaing, here are a few tips provided at the masterclass: . Do not freeze your meat. It stops the maturation process and retains water, making the steak dry and flavourless. Ask your butcher to vacuum pack each steak individually and let it wet-age in the fridge for up to 28 days or more. If the bag blows, have it re-vacuumed immediately as oxidisation will set in and the meat will discolour and go off.
. Steaks must be at room temperature. Don’t cook directly from the fridge. Room temperature steaks achieve more even cookthrough due to the shorter time required to cook the centre. . To braai the perfect medium-to-rare steak, grill it for one minute per centimetre of thickness per side. For example, if your steak is 2cm thick grill it for two minutes on the one side, then flip and grill it for two minutes on the other. Do not “roll” the meat, in other words, sear the sides. . If the meat has bone or fat on it, grill it bone- or fat-side first. This is called rendering the fat. The meat will absorb the flavour of the fat as it melts. Remember to cut (shallow incisions about 2cms apart) into the fat to prevent it from curling. . For steak, the coals should be glowing and your clean grid should be oiled (sunflower or olive oil) to ensure that the steak turns easily. Avoid too much flame. Keep hot coals aside and braai chicken and wors first. Then scrape over the hot coals for the steak. . Lightly brush your steak with olive oil and season with your favourite spices. Do not use salt on raw meat. It absorbs moisture and dries out the meat. If you like, you can add it after the meat is done. . Use tongs, never a fork, to lay your steak on the grid and to turn it. A fork punctures the meat, draining the fats and juices. Also, don’t press down on the meat with your tong. Just let it sizzle. . Ideally, steak should be basted at least once on each side during the grilling process, then, just before serving, coat it one more time. . Allow the steak to “rest” in a warm area
for at least three to five minutes as it enables the meat to “relax” and the juices to flow more readily. Upcoming Steak Masterclasses with The Hussar Grill will take place on 10 October, 14 November and 28 November. V To book your place and pay, go to www.silwood.co.za/steak-master-class-1/.

Roadworks at waterfront, use alternative routes The public is warned about the expected traffic interruptions due to roadworks at the V&A Waterfront on Dock Road from Wednesday 18 September to Saturday 30 November. The construction work will include the upgrade of the bulk water pipeline alongside Dock Road. Construction signage will be put in place to mark out the work areas and flagmen will be visible to direct motorists. Motorists are advised to use of the “fast-
er flowing exits” via Granger Bay Boulevard or Portswood Road to join the Helen Suzman Boulevard. The closures will take place as follows: . Throughout the construction period, one lane in the outbound carriage-way will be closed to traffic. All cars will be diverted into the open lane while the works take place. All works will take place inside the closure. In-bound traffic onto Dock Road will be unaffected. Pedestrians will be diverted at Ebenezer Circle using appropri-
ate signage. . From Wednesday 6 to Wednesday 20 November one lane in the inbound carriage-way will be closed to traffic after hours (off-peak) to do excavation (diggings) work across the road. All cars will be diverted into the open lane while the works take place and the working area will be adequately marked. Motorists are warned to drive with care, as they will be driving over metal plate covers on a small section of the road during this period.
. Between Wednesday 9 October and Monday 4 November the outbound of the South Arm Road, the trench will be excavated from the middle towards the pavement in the inbound carriage-way. One lane will be closed to traffic. All cars will be diverted into an open lane while the works take place. This phase will also take place after hours. Excavations will be closed using metal plate covers to allow traffic to flow during the day.

The three bears come home to find their visitor fast asleep with hilarious consequences. This fairytale classic is full of laughter and calls for audience participation. It is adapted and directed by Elton John Duffy (Edgemead), who has been producing children’s theatre for the past 26 years. The show stars Desle Mc Con-
ney from Athlone as Goldilocks, Buddy-Bo Butler from Fish Hoek as Mama Bear, Niki Ricardo from Bellville as Papa Bear, Kaylee Kensley from Goodwood as Baby Bear and Elton John Duffy as Grandpa.

Arts festival coming soon The University of Cape Town’s Institute for Creative Arts, along with curator Jay Pather, brings you an unmissable six-day long arts festival titled Infecting the City (ITC) from Monday 18 November to Saturday the 23 November. The festival which has been running for over 12 years now, is expected to invade various parts of the CBD including the Castle of Good Hope, the Cape Town Central Train Station, the fountain as well as St George’s Cathedral. There are shows from 12:30 to 16:30 and night-time shows from 18:00 to 21:00. The festival will include local artists as well as guests from Durban, Johannesburg, Eastern Cape, Zimbabwe, and Namibia. Guests from the Netherlands, France, and Switzerland. In a statement, Pather says: “An emerging theme from this year’s proposals is work-based in classical African tradition. Works that explore how classical African performance and rituals work inside of the urban space. “This is also to create atmospheres of cleansing and interiority within these commercially-driven, materialistic spaces,” says Jay. He says public art combines the intimacy of art with the public encounter. The festival creates a space for issues to be raised and debated, which is needed in the country now more than ever. Pather says more than 20 years into democracy, South Africa is still one of the most unequal countries in the world “and spaces where we can feel and think together are becoming increasingly important”. Internationally acclaimed dancer and choreographer of African Indigenous and cross-cultural dance, Elvis Sibeko will join Pather.
Sibeko will be curating two programmes – one traversing the city centre, the other with the Castle of Good Hope as a backdrop bringing together contemporary and classical African performance of various kinds. V For more information visit www.infectingthecity.com.

COAST
Draft coastal bylaw rouses robust debate A
lmost 700 submissions have been received by the City of Cape Town on the draft coastline bylaw. The proposed bylaw will assist the City to better manage the coastline; take appropriate action during emergencies and enable law enforcement of activities that may have a damaging impact on the coastal environment. Cape Town’s coastline draws millions of tourists and local visitors every year. It is a national asset and contributes approximately R40 billion per annum to our local economy. Last month, the City published the draft coastal bylaw for public comment. Invitations were distributed to businesses along the coastline to participate, as were pamphlets to encourage residents in these areas to submit comment. A total of nine information sessions were hosted across Cape Town where City officials answered attendees’ questions and residents were encouraged to submit their comments online, at City libraries, or by hand. The total number of submissions, since the close on Monday 2 September, stands at approximately 700. “I was pleasantly surprised about the significant interest in the bylaw and I want to thank everybody who took the time to participate. Approximately 150 people attended the information sessions, and I can honestly say that these engagements were extremely constructive,” said Mayco member for spatial planning and environment, Marian Nieuwoudt. Officials from the City’s coastal management branch are now busy collating the comments which include opinions on the proposed clause about indecent language on beaches. Similarly, several submissions related to pollution, the maintenance of infrastructure along the coastline, and climate change and
its impact on the coastal environment. “Comments also focused on the promotion of access to the beaches as public spaces; the City’s capacity to enforce the bylaw, once approved; and public safety,” said Nieuwoudt. Officials from the City will solicit senior legal advice to ensure that the final version of the proposed bylaw complies with the constitution and the City’s mandate. The public submissions will be considered and some clauses may be amended or even deleted. The draft bylaw will be applicable to the coastal zone, which is a public area that belongs to all South Africans. It covers the seashore, the coastal waters, and the environment on, in, under, and above the coastal zone. “The proposed bylaw will give the City the legislative powers to enforce the public’s right to access and enjoy our beaches and sea. Some residents are claiming the beaches or parcels of land in front of their properties as their own private areas by either extending their homes or gardens, or building walkways with ‘no-access’ signs on it,” said Nieuwoudt. The bylaw will be a legislative tool to also ensure the sustainable use and development of the coastal area; promote the protection of the natural environment of the coastal zone; enable better regulation, protection, and governance of the coastline as a sensitive and economically valuable asset. It will also ensure safe and enjoyable use of beaches; and to ensure measures are taken to rehabilitate or correct actions that have a damaging impact on the coastal environment. “If all goes as planned, the draft bylaw will serve before the portfolio committee on spatial planning and environment in November for councillors’ input, and then before council for approval early in the new year,” said Nieuwoudt.
City tackles domestic violence head-on The City of Cape Town’s metro police and departments of social development and early childhood development host several programmes and initiatives to curb domestic violence throughout the year. “Women and children across the city are still suffering under high levels of domestic violence. As a city which aims to be world class, we cannot sit by idly where women, children and the elderly are abused and not respected. “Domestic violence awareness and education is one of the four focus areas of the social crime prevention (SCP) interventions of the metro police department and is aimed at breaking the silence around this scourge,” said Cape Town mayor, Dan Plato. SCP has presented the eight-week workshops in Manenberg, Elsies River-Leonsdale, Belhar, Khayelitsha, Harare, Temperance Town in Gordons Bay, Goodwood, Kuilsriver, Hout Bay and Hanover Park. The presentation is also delivered on request at primary and high schools, NGOs, churches and during school holiday programmes. “Unfortunately, the myths around domestic violence abound. It is not caused by alcohol and drugs and it is certainly not limited to a specific demographic. Domestic violence happens in all our neighbourhoods across economic boundaries,” said Mayco member for safety and security, JP Smith. Victims of domestic violence are often unaware of the resources available to them, their rights granted by the Domestic Vio-
lence Act or the steps they can take to ensure their personal safety. “As part of the programme, officers have a brochure which details what domestic violence is and how help and services can be accessed. I want to encourage communities to speak up and speak out so we can ensure the safety of everyone. It is an ill we have to tackle together,” said Smith. In addition, the departments of social development and early childhood development are set to roll out their Men’s Programme to all areas of the city. The pilot project, which took place in Delft last year and which facilitated the training of 50 men, explored several social aspects linked to violence against women and children. This included gender relations as shaped by culture, tradition and religion; substance abuse; HIV/Aids; parenting; and cultivating positive role models. Mayco member for community services and health, Zahid Badroodien, said: “The Men’s Programme aims to change behaviour by unpacking the complexities that characterise the epidemic that is genderbased violence. Men must be included in the interventions within communities.” The project has three phases: training, post-training support, and the formation of men’s groups that will meet once a week and also recruit and train more participants in future. In the current financial year, each area will have a Men’s Programme for 50 men which will speak to their specific context and requirements.

Educating parents too NOMZAMO YUKU @NomzamoYuku At the French Nursery School in Woodstock, both children and their parents are educated. The school takes care of 40 children between the ages of three months and four years and is one of the few early childhood facilities where teaching takes place in both English and French. On Thursday 12 September, the school hosted a talk on positive parenting in partnership with the Cape Town Therapy Hub. The talk was aimed at equipping parents with parenting skills and to get them more involved in the nursery. The talk also allowed the staff members and parents to get to know each other better. The director of the school, Caroline Faucher-Desvoyes, says they encourage parents to get involved in the school instead of simply dropping off their children in the mornings and fetching them in the afternoons. Faucher-Desvoyes says they organise talks every three months where parents are also given an opportunity to directly engage with the staff. She says the interaction between staff and parents helps the nursery fulfil its co-education concept where both

the children and the parents receive some form of education. At the talks, Faucher-Desvoyes says parents are taught skills such as how to tackle behavioural issues without becoming frustrated. She says parents often give their children leeway, claiming they are still young and should be allowed to express themselves as they wish. According to her, discipline is important, adding a disciplined child is likely to grow up to become a responsible adult. She says instilling discipline from an early age helps children become confident and teaches them to have meaningful discussions instead of arguing. “As a parent, you should not fight with your child and give them instructions without giving them reasons for or explaining your decision or action. This teaches effective communication and the importance of reasoning,” she says. Kate Lefko, a parent, attended the nursery’s talk for the first time. Her two-yearold son has been at the nursery since he was four months old. She says she found the talk very helpful. She gained knowledge from other parents’ experiences and learned “there is always room for improvement for every parent”.

Locals fill Cape Town streets A
frica’s only IAAF Gold Label status marathon delivered once again as Kenya’s Edwin Koech won this year’s Sanlam Cape Town Marathon in 2:09.20. In near perfect conditions for the 13 500 runners who lined up for the 42km course, it was Koech who proved too strong for the fifth successive year, as he swept a stellar field that included Daniel Muteti, Mohamed Ziani and South Africa’s Elroy Galant, breaking away in the final kilometre. Koech defeated Muteti who was the official pacemaker by five seconds. Mohamed Ziani rounded out the podium (2:09.29). Elroy Gelant in only his second marathon was fourth in a time of 2:10.31 to also claim the South African title. Celestine Chepchirchir smashed the course record of Helalia Johannes, clocking 2:26.44. That is just under 3 minutes faster than the record set in 2018 (2:29.28). Nurit Shimels Yimam was second (2:27.40), and Gete Mindaye Tilahun came home in third (2:28.32). All three were inside the previous course record. Cornelia Joubert claimed the SA Marathon title. In the ever-popular 10km Peace Run, which drew as many as 8 500 runners, Precious Mashele put in a sublime performance as he came flying home to
Elana Africa-Bredekamp with Elana van Zyl-Meyer at the start of the 10km. defend his title in a time of 28:36. Mashele surged away at the 6km mark. Mashele held off a fast finishing Mbuleli Mathanga (28:40) with Desmond Mokgobu a further 8 seconds behind. Zimbabwe’s Fortunate Chidzivo took the race by the scruff of the neck, surging into the lead from the gun. Chidzivo clocked a new National Zimb-
abwean record of 32:26, improving her best from 33:49 and breaking the previous course record set by Irvette van Zyl of 32:49 in last year’s race. Kesa Molotsane took second place (33:30) and Rutendo Nyahora was third (33:50). South Africans are finding a love for the 10km race distance, as some 8 500 runners lined up for the 2019 10km Peace Run..
