n an attempt to help save and protect marine life, the City of Cape Town launched three new custom-designed boats on Wednesday 18 September. After the launch, the multimillion-rand inflatable vessels underwent a two-hourlong test at the Ocean Power Boat Club in Green Point. The marine and environmental law enforcement unit now has eight rubber ducks in their fleet of watercraft. These boats en-
hance the work of the marine and coastal law enforcement – which focuses on antipoaching, lifesaving and other criminal activities along the coast. The project had been in the pipeline since February this year when Stingray Marine manufacturers in Kraaifontein started designing the boats. Mike Bradley, the managing director of Stingray, says the boats are built with hightech materials according to the international guidelines for law enforcement and military vessels. “This philosophy increases capability, durability, and survivability,” he

After a couple of rides, the City officials were satisfied with the quality and performances of the boat. They vowed their readiness to tackle the “critical” poaching problem and reducing the number of fatal incidents during peak season. Mayco member for safety and security, JP Smith says fighting poaching is critical, and with the new addition to their fleet of rubber ducks, this unit can further expand their reach. He says these boats are lighter, stealthier and can cut through “choppy” water and waves, making chasing down poachers easier.

says. Due to quality designs of these boats, Bradley says unlike a normal boat, that takes about a week to build, these took them four months each to complete. Selwyn de Wet, City’s marine principal officer, says having custom made boats aim to accommodate the nature of the work done by the marine staff, providing them with safer and faster models. He says one of the key components in the new boats is the anti-burst that prevents the boat from sinking when stroked by sharp objects or shot at. It also has advanced anti-fire protection.

hen her children left school 33 years ago, she decided to be of service to her community and fellow man. Since the 1980s Margaret Voogt (83) from Blomtuin, Bellville, has dedicated her whole life to serving her fellow man and community – and is still doing it. She is one of the finalists in the 80 years and older category of the Community Champions Elder Awards presented by People’s Post, TygerBurger and City Vision, in partnership with Spec-Savers. “I don’t like being in the limelight but prefer to be in the background. This is my 34th year dedicating my time to be of service to whoever needs it and it started 34 years ago when my kids were still at Durbanville High School,” Margaret said when TygerBuger visited her at home. She worked in the tuck shop at the school and when her kids left school she had to find something else to do. “I started with a refreshment trolley at Tygerberg and Karl Bremer hospitals for all the wards. When the nurses decided to open their own tuck shop I started with needlework. We made toiletry bags for kids in hospital over the festive season and gave it as gifts to the patients. In the bags were shampoo and other toiletries. “Nowadays, I am knitting bootees and caps for premature babies. I collect secondhand clothing and every three months we have a sale. My team and I usually stored the clothing in boxes at the hospital, but a storeroom was cleaned and we use that space as our storeroom,” Margaret said. She visits Karl Bremer every Thursday and all the clothes that are not sold are handed over to Patricia Groenewald of Avondale, to hand out where there is a need. “We sometimes get knitted squares and use that to make blankets for the rape centre

Capetonians joined the nation in the World Global Climate Change strike on Friday 20 September. The solidarity march started from Zonnebloem, going down Keizergrancht Street to the national assembly in the central business district. Young and old spoke in one voice; they called on the government to act to prevent climate change in Cape Town and South Africa. Most speakers, including Phindile Maxiti, Mayco member for energy and climate change, referred to Day Zero as a sign that things could get worse, but could be prevented.

Miguel braces himself for a gruelling race NOMZAMO YUKU @NomzamoYuku
H
Miguel Netto prepares for Ironman Championship in Hawaii.
e is training three times a day – up to 30 hours a week in preparation for the Ironman World Championships in Hawaii next month. Miguel Netto from Claremont has worked hard to earn his spot in the championships taking place on Saturday 12 October in Hawaii. The 33-year-old got the opportunity to participate in the championships after finishing sixth in the Standard Bank Ironman African Championship in Port Elizabeth on Sunday 7 April. The race is a triathlon competition featuring three sporting disciplines in one race – 3.8km swim, followed by a 180.2km cycle and ends off with a 42.2km run (full marathon). The cut off time is 17 hours. Miguel is one of the 2 000 qualifiers from around the world. He says he started working towards his “dream” in 2011. He trained by taking part in different Ironman competitions. Training became his lifestyle. He took part in different races and triathlons which helped him to improve
his performance over the years. To date, he has completed nine full Ironman races and six half-Ironman races. Along with these, other notable events, include three Comrades Marathon, three Two Oceans Ultra Marathons and the Absa Cape Epic. Throughout his career, he has always had his sights set on working towards this dream of competing in the Ironman World Championships. “I have done my preparations, and I am physically and mentally ready for it. I have set realistic expectations. I am aiming to try and end in the top 20. To do this I would have to finish in about nine hours or less,” he says. Miguel hopes to use the Kailua-Kona competition to better his current record or at least maintain it. He also hopes to use the event as a learning curve. However, his hard work and sweat could as well be in vain if he does not get the necessary support. “Every contribution makes a difference,” he says. Nothing is too big or too small and I am really humbled and grateful for the backing I have received so far.” Miguel has to switch between train-
ing and working. He is a marketing manager and also does online triathlon and running coaching. As exciting as the opportunity is, Netto says the trip will only become a reality if he raises R100 000 to cover travelling and accommodation costs. He has thus far raised R50 000 and has secured a sponsor for a bike and his racing shoes. Netto is grateful to everyone that has supported him. “Every contribution makes a difference. I am really humbled and grateful for the backing I have received so far,” he says. He has been running various campaigns on social media. Netto hopes that going to Kona and finishing on time will not just be an inspiration to him, but to the many people who have been following his journey to Hawaii. He describes the Ironman competition as a challenging sport that needs a lot of physical endurance, dedication, and self-discipline. V Miguel currently has a Back-a-Buddy campaign. Should anyone wish to get involved and support his cause, go to the link: www.backabuddy.co.za/champion/project/get-migs-to-kona.
Exhibition focuses on cellphone images NOMZAMO YUKU @NomzamoYuku The Cape Town Museum of Childhood in partnership with Orms Cape Town School of Photography will host a smartphone photography exhibition. The exhibition is part of the #EduSnap project – an initiative that was established last year through the partnership. It aims to empower high school learners from around Cape Town with photographic skills. The exhibition will give the public a first-hand experience of portraits taken by 10 learners from South Peninsula High School (Diep River), Belgravia High School (Athlone), Islamia College (Lansdowne), Athlone High School, Rylands High School (Gatesville), The Leadership College (Manenberg), and Rustenburg Girls High School (Rondebosch). This exhibition follows a series of workshops by Lauren Theunissen, a lecturer
at the school of photography, in July. Learners were taught the basic use of a smartphone to take a storytelling photograph and identify when a photo is in focus. The exhibition will take place at Orms on Friday 27 September. Chanel Fredericks, the museum’s outreach programme manager, says the project allows learners to share their childhood experiences and the skills gained through the training. The project was established last year to celebrate childhood and education. Maahir Davids, a Grade 11 learner at Islamia, took a variety of photographs. He says the project helped to improve his skills and gave him reassurance of his passion for photography. “I am looking forward to the exhibition. It is an opportunity to showcase what we have learned,” Maahir says. V To book a space at the exhibition, email Najwah Mukadam at nmukadam@cecd.org.za.
#EduSnap works with learners from Grade 8 to 11.

4 Arts Foundation, a not-for-profit laboratory for the arts of Southern Africa has opened the proto~ shop at the foundation’s centre in District Six. Hamzeh Alfarahneh, creative director for the foundation, says the initiative will be used as a tool to raise funds and to support the original work of the artists. It will also ensure its sustainability. While A4 focuses on showcasing complet-
ed work by the artists and giving free access to the public, proto~ will take on a slightly different approach. The initiative will reveal the original product before the sculpture has reached its final stage. The only similarity will be daily free entry between 10:00 and 17:30. “Proto~ is an interface to A4 that examines the artistic practices of off-cuts, propositions, false starts, cul-de-sacs and fragments. We recognised that artists and designers often have parts of their processes
that do not see the light of day, perhaps sketches or experiments en route to finished products, and perhaps the things that were not appropriate to the primary project, but interesting nonetheless,” Hamzeh explains. He says this will allow the public to explore the artistic process in a participatory, engaging and collaborative way. Hamzeh says this is to challenge the public to think critically and to come to their own conclusions about the art of their interests. “I think people find it unusual and I love
that,” Hamzeh says. “We look forward to other’s opinions and suggestions, good or bad – they can only be productive.” Every selling art piece will support the artists and the foundation; there will be no middleman such as shareholders. The public is urged to witness the opening taking place at their premises on Friday 4 October. V For more information email proto@a4arts.org.

hen I am asked what it is that drew me to working with children, I tell people that their joy and their resilience is driven by their sense of wonder, all too often forgotten in adulthood,” says Prof Alan Davidson, head of haematology-oncology at the Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital. Davidson was speaking at Reach for a Dream’s handover of two new “Dream Rooms” – a revamped day room in the oncology ward and a playroom in the surgical ward – on Wednesday 18 September. The rooms offer children, and parents, a safe space to go and escape from their clinical surroundings. Big Concerts and Reach For A Dream joined forces to create the first of these rooms in Cape Town children’s hospitals. Heidi Rowley, Western Cape branch manager for Reach for a Dream, says here the children can have fun, read and play. “Eventually, there will be 30 such rooms at hospitals which provide critical care to children with life-threatening illnesses between the ages of three and 18.” Justin van Wyk, chief executive officer of Big Concerts, and his wife Karen say the Dream Room initiative is close to their hearts. The promoter of live entertainment events has supported the foundation since 2015. But the Van Wyks’s involvement became a lot more personal when their daughter, Annabelle (now 5), was diagnosed with leukaemia at the age of three and a half. “We had just moved into our new home. Adrian (now 7) and Annabelle were so excit-
ed about having their own rooms for the first time. Then Annabelle was diagnosed. A day later, she was admitted to Red Cross hospital. We went from this warm and fuzzy environment to a clinical one.” Justin says the experience was pretty scary. They spent three weeks in hospital followed by another six weeks a year later. “When Mervyn Serebro (national chairman for the foundation) announced the initiative at the gala event last year, it resonated with me and Karen,” he says. In addition to the two Dream Rooms, the reception area at the oncology ward also got a makeover. It now boasts a play area complete with new chairs, tables and toys. When it comes to the surgical ward’s new playroom (which includes an Xbox), Sister Nomsa Nxu, operational manager: nursing, says she is not sure who was more excited: her or the children. “The Dream Room’s purpose is twofold. Yes, it’s for the children, but it is also a place where tired moms, who often stay up the whole night – worrying about their children – can go to rest for a bit.” The handover comes hot on the heels of the upgrade of the hospital’s oncology-haematology unit. The unit now sports state-ofthe-art ECG monitors, private consulting rooms, isolation areas and a counselling room for a social worker. It also includes ablution facilities for families, a renovated filing room and a bigger nurses’ tea room. Big Concerts also contributed generously to this project driven by the Children’s Hospital Trust (CHT).

Gas extraction project in full swing T
he landfill gas flaring project at the Coastal Park landfill facility in Muizenberg has been firing on all cylinders since it was launched about 18 months ago. This project is aimed at destroying methane gas that is produced by the landfill, and converting this to less harmful carbon dioxide and energy. To date methane, equivalent to about 138 000 tonnes of carbon dioxide, has been destroyed at the landfill. World Ozone Day was commemorated on Monday 16 September and it was a time to once again do a health check on the ozone layer, its depletion and what can be done differently to further protect it. The ozone layer acts as an invisible shield and protects people from harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun “Methane gas, which is present in the landfill, has a global warming potential approximately 25 times greater than carbon dioxide. Not only does this offset carbon emissions, but gas that is converted to energy can be used to fuel a variety of operations,” said Mayco member for water and waste, Xanthea Limberg. She said the City is committed to reducing its carbon footprint from municipal infra-
structure and services, by rolling out this project at other City landfill sites in 18-months’ time. Methane is a highly combustible gas that can be collected and used as a heating fuel, to generate electricity or as a fuel for vehicles. The gas extraction and flaring systems have been established at Coastal Park and Bellville South landfills, and a similar system will be constructed at the Vissershok South landfill.

Therefore, the City is working to reduce volumes of organic waste sent to landfill sites through a number of programmes, including the Home Composting container rollout, which encourages residents to make use of organic waste for their green spaces.

Kommetjie surfers hold their own K
ommetjie surfing trio Eli Beukes, Max Elkington and Ceara Knight held their own at the Billabong Pro Junior Seal Point World Surfing League (WSL) event, which concluded in Cape St Francis on Sunday 22 September. While the junior men’s event and women’s event were won by Bryce du Preez and Zoë Steyn, both from East London, Elkington reached the semi-finals, losing to another East London surfer Thomas Lindhorst. Beukes bowed out in another semi-final heat, losing to the eventual champion, Du Preez. Du Preez left his best for last, demolishing Beukes to secure his spot in the final against Lindhorst (East London). Lindhorst, who was a dark horse during the event, quietly made his way to the semi-finals. However, Du Preez was in a class of his own, clinching the title with a total of 14.75 (out of a possible 20) to Lindhorst’s
10.75 in the final. Despite a less than ideal start to the competition coming back from the ISA World Surfing Games in Japan, Steyn went straight from the airport into her heats. Steyn defeated her close rival, Knight, in the final with 14.75 over Knight’s 9.90 (out of a possible 20). With this win, Steyn also reclaimed the first spot on the WSL Africa rankings. Results: Men’s final: Bryce du Preez 14.75, Thomas Lindhorst 10.75 Men’s semi-final: Thomas Lindhorst 11.65, Max Elkington 10.00 Bryce du Preez 17.25, Eli Beukes 11.50 Women’s final: Zoë Steyn 14.75, Ceara Knight 9.90 Women’s semi-final: Ceara Knight 10.10, Aimee du Preez 6.25 Zoë Steyn 8.50, Tayla de Coning 4.00

UCT triumphant in intervarsity tournament H
undreds of students braved the weekend’s weather to attend the annual Western Cape Intervarsity games hosted by Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT) at their Bellville Campus. The tournament saw CPUT, the University of Western Cape (UWC), the University of Cape Town (UCT), Stellenbosch University (US) and Varsity College putting each other through their paces in sports such as soccer, basketball, water polo, table tennis, badminton, fencing, ultimate frisbee and tennis. The chilly and rainy weather disrupted outdoor codes such as cricket, netball, beach volleyball and tennis. Last year’s overall champions, US, relinquished their title to this year’s champions, UCT, who won the event, scoring 50 points. Stellenbosch was second with 45 points and UWC came third with 30 points. CPUT, which dominated soccer as both their men’s and ladies’ teams won the finals, came fourth with 26 points and Varsi-
ty College was fifth with 13 points. The tournament started in 2016 and was held at UWC, while CPUT hosted it for the first time this year. CPUT sports and culture manager, Siyabulela Mkwalo said: “I am very excited with what we achieved today despite the bad weather. We are disappointed that we had to cancel some sporting codes. Overall, I am happy we have achieved the strategic objectives of the event which was to create a platform for the students to have fun and enjoyment. The best team won, although the tournament was not about winning but participation,” said Mkwalo. CPUT men’s soccer team captain, Bongumusa Mbali, said winning the soccer section of the tournament can open doors for them and hopes that the CPUT management will increase their support for the team. “I’m very grateful for the guys that played and those who didn’t play for the support we got both from the CPUT team and other teams,” Bongumusa noted.
