RUNAWAY SUCCESS: Despite a howling Cape Doctor making an unwelcome appearance, thousands took to Cape Town city centre’s streets for the 37th edition of the Community Chest Twilight Run on Tuesday 3 December. Of the over 5 000 entrants, around 3 800 braved the wind to make the 2019 Twilight Run a great success. The overwhelming support from Capetonians and visitors alike for the gender-based violence theme enabled Community Chest to present cheques to two beneficiaries: The Justice Desk, represented by executive director Jessica Dewhurst, and The Social Makeover, represented by founder Farhana Parker. An additional special Siyakubona Award went to the Women Lead Movement, accepted by founder Melene Rossouw.

Life and death on street NETTALIE VILJOEN
O
n Wednesday 4 September, the body of a man was found in Wetton Road, Wynberg. As is usually the case when people are homeless and there is no medical history available, his body was sent to Salt River mortuary. His sister, who asked not to be named, said on Sunday 29 September she received a call from a friend, informing her that her brother had died. In search of his body, she went to the Wynberg informal settlement where her brother had lived for the past 25 years. “I tried to speak to some of the people there, but they were having a tipsy-turvy Sunday and I couldn’t get anything out of them.” On Tuesday 1 October, she went to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) at Wynberg police station.
She says: “Walking in there at 7:00 in the morning, I was scared. Often you hear negative stories about the police as to the lack of assistance, nonchalant treatment and arrogant attitude.” She says what happened next took her by complete surprise. “I was immediately taken to Capt Andre Wolhuter’s office. He had a file on my brother on his desk.” Capt Wolhuter instructed her to obtain an unabridged birth certificate for her brother from Home Affairs. The paperwork was needed to put a priority on having her brother’s fingerprints checked to identify the body. Cpt Wolhuter right away assigned Cst Nathaniel Da Silva to assist her through the process, starting with going with her to the mortuary the next day (Wednesday 2 October) to identify her brother. Once the results on the fingerprints came back, confirming her brother’s identity, the body was cleared
for release. Cst Da Silva went with her to the morgue and stayed for the clearance process. She says no words can express the gratitude the family feels for the help they received from the CID. “From the first day I stepped into Capt Wolhuter’s office, I was treated with professionalism and respect. And the same goes for Cst Da Silva and Sgt Colin Naude.” Her brother’s remains was cremated on 23 October and a memorial service was held on Saturday 9 November. She says it was then, with all of the family and friends gathered, that the emotion came. Her brother was two months away from his 59th birthday when he died of natural causes. “Lying in the mortuary for a month labelled as ‘unknown’ was traumatising for the family. Unfortunately, he made the choice to live that dark life.”
She says until his early twenties her brother had a good life. He was married, had two children and was a qualified tradesman. But then he got involved with the wrong crowd and started using drugs. “Things just spiralled. It reached a point that nobody in the family wanted him to live with them anymore because things just kept on disappearing.” Within a few years, he was living on the street. According to Wayne Mitten, the facility manager at Salt River mortuary, they receive quite a lot of unidentified bodies a year. He says people would be surprised at how many South Africans do not have a valid ID document. He says the burden then falls on the police or families to prove the deceased’s identity before the body can be released for burial. V Continued on page 2.

iving the gift of unconditional love may seem like a wonderful idea but often the novelty of a puppy or kitten can wear off when the responsibility of pet ownership becomes a reality, says the SPCA Cape of Good Hope. During the festive season, children are often gifted with new pets – birds, puppies, fish, rabbits and kittens – by their parents. While the child’s happiness is paramount at the time, all the responsibility that comes with the gift of a pet should be seriously considered first. Belinda Abrahams, communications manager at the SPCA, explains that January is the month in which the highest number of unwanted pets are surrendered to the SPCA. “In January 2018 and 2019 we saw respectively 1 344 and 1 075 unwanted animals come through our doors; and while the reduction in numbers is encouraging from one year to the next, the numbers are still gravely concerning.” The situation is the same – if not worse – for exotic animals. Steve Meighan, a Glencairn-based snake conservationist, says it is not uncommon for him to be called to rescue snakes that have been cared for by someone who has not researched the correct diet and habitats of their new pets. “Each animal has needs and those needs are life-long – not only for Christmas. Some reptiles live 15 years or more, so it’s a longterm commitment.”
FROM PAGE 1 According to health and safety regulations, the mortuary should only keep a body for 30 days. But Mitten says the process of identifying a body usually takes much longer. Only once the police have pursued all avenues – fingerprinting, DNA testing, facial reconstruction – will they supply the mortuary with a letter, allowing it to give the unidentified person a pauper’s burial. Ian Veary, a social worker from The Hope Exchange – an NGO assisting the homeless – says conditions on the street are harsh. People are vulnerable to the cold weather and food is limited.

they may not be able to access basic services, become immobile and eventually succumb to infection. “I’ve had to pick up two ladies whose physical health had deteriorated to such an extent that they died a week after being hospitalised. What makes it more difficult is when there’s no identification on the person. It becomes very difficult to trace the family.” Veary says social workers in the city work hard to try and restore family connections. He says it is a long journey to recovery from addiction and often there are relapses along the way. Many families go for years, trying to help, before “giving up”. “I have seen so many families struggling
to find a balanced approach but eventually they have to accept that they are not able to solve the problem.” He says, however, that families don’t have to do it on their own. His advice to families is to not provide money to the individual but to refer the person needing assistance to an organisation and then to support the organisation. “There are many community resources and churches in different areas that can try to assist. There’s no one solution for change but rather a set of puzzle pieces that need to be put in place.” V For more information, call The Help Exchange on 021 461 5508, email info@thehopeexchange.org or visit thehopeexchange.org.

Hold on to Christmas spirit, cash NETTALIE VILJOEN
A
s Christmas decorations go up, people’s defences start to go down. Capt Silvino Davids of Wynberg police station, however, warns that reports of people being mugged and robbed on streets usually increase this time of year. Having just received their bonuses or endof-year pay, hundreds of people are flocking to malls and shops in the Main Road. Davids says quite a few scams are going around and urges residents to stay vigilant.
“Cases of theft at ATMs have already been reported. Three to four people will crowd you at an ATM. The one will distract you by asking you a question while the others press the buttons, swipe your card or get your pin.” Davids urges people to avoid drawing money from ATMs located on the street. Rather use those inside a mall or at locations where security staff are present. And don’t allow people to stand too close to you when you are using the ATM. Also, try not to use it when you are alone and be on the
lookout for people lurking around. If you see anyone suspicious, report it to security or the police. He says they have also had reports of residents being robbed by people pretending to be police officers. “They drop a roll of money on the ground and then wait for someone to pick it up. As soon as someone does, they approach, flashing fake police ID cards,” explains Davids. He says they then claim the money is stolen and part of an ongoing investigation. Next, they demand you hand over your handbag, wallet and cellphone, saying they have to confiscate the items to check you don’t have any other stolen items or money in your possession.” Targets were told to meet them at the station later. In other instances, they were told to drive with “the officers” to the police station, only to be dropped off a block or two down the road. Davids says this is not how real police officers operate. If the situation doesn’t seem right, don’t hand over your belongings and don’t agree to drive in their vehicle. Rather say you will meet them at the police station and go straight there.
He says the perpetrators use unmarked vehicles. “If something like this does happen to you, try to get a good description of the suspects and their vehicle’s licence plate number.” Street robberies and thefts out of cars also tend to occur more often this time of year. “Street robberies, especially, are a problem in Wynberg’s subways and in and around the Wynberg Public Transport Interchange,” Davids says. He says people should be proactive and, where possible, lock their belongings away. “Walking alone in isolated areas, displaying cash or using your cellphone in public – all these actions make you a target.” He says perpetrators either do a quick grab or they distract you – asking you for a cigarette or money – and then pull out a knife and rob you. “When they try to get your attention, just ignore them and carry on walking. Don’t stop and allow three of four of them to surround you,” he says. Residents who see anything suspicious are asked to report it to the nearest security or authority.

in college activities throughout the year. Park (13) from Constantia, and one of only a few young female magicians, has captivated her instructors and audiences with her abilities at several contests, the winter school holiday programme, the 2019 Traditional Children’s Magic Festival, and as the co-lead of the college’s annual Artscape Theatre show this year. Park says she loves creating performances. “I’ve worked so hard and it’s amazing to be recognised for it. The College of Magic provides so many opportunities to learn from the instructors and my fellow students and I look forward to the next phase of my magical education.” Clinching the 2019 Senior Student of the Year award is the pinnacle of Gagana’s final year at the college as he graduates from the Course Six year. An incredible all-rounder in magic and its allied arts, including juggling, puppetry and mime and clowning, this skilled 16-year-old performer from Makhaza, Khayelitsha represented the college and South Africa in the United States of America (USA) in 2018. He was voted top street magic performer at the 2019 Western Cape Junior Magician Championships. Gagana reflects on his time at the college: “Since joining the college in 2013, learning to be the best in all aspects of magic has been my motivation. Perfecting my art day by day, year by year, will help me achieve my dream of being a professional magician when I grow up. Receiving this award as I
graduate is a huge honour.” The graduations also honoured staff and this year’s recipient of the David Berglas Millennium Award for Outstanding Contribution to the College of Magic is Santika Naidoo, a graduate and volunteer instructor at the organisation. Instituted in 2000 by David Berglas, the Millennium Award is presented each year to the person who has contributed significantly towards the college. Naidoo, who directed the college’s annual magic extravaganza, the World of Magic!, at the Artscape Theatre in October, was recognised for her direction of the show, her generosity in donating her time, her dedication to the improvement of the college, her tireless efforts to promote and support young women in magic and assisting the college in the roll-out of its new digital platforms and online communications. “It’s been an incredible year of hard work and immense growth for me at the College of Magic and I thank them for the recognition,” says Naidoo. The College of Magic, Cape Town’s only magical arts organisation, will celebrate its 40th anniversary by welcoming a new generation of aspiring magicians in February 2020. Registration for the College of Magic’s 2020 Course One is now open. Call 021 683 5480 or send an email to info@collegeofmagic.com to secure your spot.

MAYNARDVILLE PARK
Seeds sown for community involvement NETTALIE VILJOEN
A
clean-up of Maynardville Park on Saturday 23 November might have sown the seeds for an initiative that could grow into a regular community-driven event. The clean-up was a response to a chat on the Wynberg West Group 1 WhatsApp group. Residents exchanged comments on a photograph posted by Edna Swart, a Wynberg resident. The image showed litter, strewn all over Wilson Road. Next another resident, Jackie Plank, posted an image which read, “It’s not my garbage, but it’s my planet”. A few messages later, and the time, date and meeting place (under the giant rubber tree at the top of Wellington Avenue) was set for the clean-up. The small but enthusiastic turnout of adults and young ones donned plastic gloves and spent the next two hours filling one garbage bag each.
“It was ‘no big deal’ and yet it could be the tiny spark that could be nurtured into a regular act of community care and connection,” says Plank. A huge amount of small plastics, like sweet wrappers, straws, bottle tops and potato chip packets was collected. “If people simply took 15 minutes to stop and pick up little bits of litter individually or in groups, we could wax the litter problem in the park in no time. And set a great impulse of love into nature and the neighbourhood,” says Plank. Another clean-up is planned for Saturday 14 December at 9:00, again meeting at the rubber tree. Residents who would like to participate are asked to bring bags, rubber gloves and goodwill.
Jackie Plank does her bit at the Maynardville clean-up held on Saturday 23 November.

Councillor gets a speaker’s nod NETTALIE VILJOEN
R
ob Quintas, councillor for Ward 74, was awarded the City of Cape Town Councillor of the Year 2019 Speaker’s Award at the last Council sitting on Thursday 5 December. Speaker Dirk Smit presented the award to Quintas. Smit said the Speaker’s Award is given to a councillor who has displayed a high standard of performance and service delivery excellence. “It celebrates the achievements of councillors who go above and beyond the call of duty and who have shown commitment for – and have made significant contributions to – local government in general and their respective communities in particular,” says Smit.
Quintas was first elected councillor of ward 74 in August 2016. Since then he has spearheaded various projects in Hout Bay and Llandudno. These include the ongoing upgrades to the Hout Bay beachfront and dunes, electrification and housing programmes for Hangberg and Imizamo Yethu, park upgrades and the building of new parks and recreation spaces, improvements to Hangberg and Hout Bay Library, the roll-out of youth and elderly programmes, street lighting, and driving LGBTQI issues. Quintas said being a public representative is not a job, but a calling, and should not be sought for financial gain, nor thanks. He said the acknowledgment was humbling.
“I cannot accept this award alone, and must thank the many colleagues and officials and residents who inspire me daily and who encourage me in some way to strive to do better, and constantly try to improve in my service,” he said. “I must also thank my ward assistant Zimkitha Khanya-Ntelezi without who I would not be able to function and who provides me with the utmost support in my role.” Smit congratulated Quintas on his achievement. “I hope that you will continue to assist and serve your community and the City of Cape Town with distinction, and I wish you well in all of your service delivery endeavours.”

THEATRE
Set off the New Year with a bang T
he festive season is in full swing at the Baxter with three shows to choose from as the year-end celebrations kick in. Nik Rabinowitz is now on in the concert hall until 14 December with his latest comedy Late Bloomer, the much anticipated Marc Lottering’s Aunty Merle It’s a Girl! has opened with a bang, and fresh from the veld is Ben Voss in Benny Bushwhacker: Human Nature. Nik ruminates over his recent DNA test results and a host of other pressing issues in his stand-up show, directed by Rob van Vuuren, as he tries to figure out who he is, where he came from, where he’s going to and how he ended up here. Late Bloomer runs Tuesdays to Saturdays at 8pm and ends on 14 December. Since its recent opening, Aunty Merle It’s
a Girl! has been playing to packed houses and standing ovations. Marc once again teams up with director Lara Foot and a cast of 13, plus a live band of seven musicians, who sing and dance their way through the drama and goings-on between Belgravia Road, Athlone and Bantry Bay. If you loved the first production of Aunty Merle, The Musical, this sequel brings even more drama and surprises. The cast includes Royston Stoffels, Jennifer Steyn, Nicky Rebelo, Carmen Maarman, Zoleka Helesi, Rushney Ferguson, Julian Place, Sizwesandile Mnisi, Anzio September, Tashreeq de Villiers and Crystal Finck. The show runs until Saturday 1 February at 19:30 from Tuesdays to Saturdays, with matinees on Saturday at 15:00 and Sunday 22 December at 15:00. There will be
no performances on 24 and 25 December and 1 January. Benny Bushwhacker: Human Nature is written by John van de Ruit (Spud) and stars Ben Voss, directed by Janice Honeyman. It runs from today, Tuesday 10 December to Saturday 18 January in the Golden Arrow Studio at 20:15 nightly with Saturday matinees at 16:00. The comedy highlights the importance of nature conservation. It opened at the 2019 National Arts Festival Makhanda (Grahamstown) where Ben won two Standard Bank Ovation Awards and has continued receiving rave reviews and full
houses. The usually sold-out New Year’s Eve Bash will once again see some of the artists lead the countdown on Tuesday 31 December to get the revelry started as the fun continues in the foyer after the performances. Aunty Merle It’s a Girl! and Benny Bushwhacker: Human Nature will both start later, on the night. Ticket prices will include entrance to the party. Early booking for these shows and the New Year’s Eve celebrations are advised. V Book at Webtickets on 086 111 0005, online at www.webtickets.co.za or from selected Pick n Pay stores.

Falcons stay in the hunt NOORE NACERODIEN Falcons Softball Club stayed in close contention behind frontrunners Lavender Hill with a hard-fought 9-5 victory over Kenfac Phillies in their Cape Town Softball Association’s Super League game played at the Turfhall Softball Stadium in Athlone on Saturday 7 December. The Falcons batters amassed 13 hits off Ester van den Heever with Samantha Jones (3/4) and Amy Minnies (3/4) leading the offensive attack. In addition to the 13 hits, Falcons left six runners stranded on base. Young prodigy Amy Minnies continues to improve among her senior compatriots, giving up only seven scattered singles on the pitching plate for Falcons. A welcome return to the game was Natalie Abrahams for Westridge Yankees. She faced 27 batters – six more than the minimum – giving up a mere single hit to Tantasport’s Justine Stewart. Rhonda Minnies was not going to be outdone by the younger players and led the Yankees offence with a 2/3 batting performance. Roxanne Albertyn gave up six hits on the pitching rubber for Tantasport. The first half of the season comes to an end on Friday 13 December with a Vintage Series Softball Extravaganza at
Turfhall Softball Stadium starting at 19:00. The series will see the stars of yesteryear in action.

Feldtman and Elario combine for win SEAN CAMPBELL
T
wo home runs by Dayle Feldtman helped Bothasig Knights maintain their unbeaten run with a 10-6 victory over second-placed Bellville Tygers in their Cape Town Baseball Federation fixture played at the PP Smit Sports field on Saturday 7 December. Feldtman batted 3/4 including the two home runs, combined with Jared Elario’s 11 strikeouts set up the victory for Bothasig. Feldtman first homered in the third inning and then again in the ninth inning. Teammate Justin Lazarus also homered in the third inning. For Tygers, Jonathan Phillips also homered in the third inning and Wesley Greeff in the sixth inning. Benjamin Smith (3/5) and Darren Boltman (3/4) were Bothasig’s other top hitters. Jonathan Phillips (3/4), Wesley Greeff (2/4) and Haydn Matthee (2/5) did well for Tygers. Elario pitched six innings, giving up seven hits and walking two.
He was replaced by former VOB Macaw player Kieran Moore. Moore pitched three innings, giving up two hits, one walk and striking out two hitters. Tygers started with usually reliable Kevin Townend who gave up six hits and six walks in his 4.2 innings pitched. Anthony Phillips pitched 3.1 innings with Jonathan Phillips pitching for the last out. The win gives Bothasig a fourpoint lead at the top of the log. At the Rooikrans Sports field in Grassy Park, home team Grassy Park Crusaders squandered a 4-0 lead to lose 7-4 to VOB Macaws on Saturday. Crusaders made six errors compared to the three from VOB. Crusaders also recorded four double plays compared to the two of VOB. Derick Baylis (4/6), Lance Gordon (2/5) and Josh Rich (2/5) came out top for VOB with Liam Samuels (2/4), Sergill Thompson (2/4) and Fabian Matthee (2/4) hitting well for Crusaders. Both teams utilised three pitchers.
In other Major League results, the home teams took the points. Athlone A’s beat Van der Stel 9-3 and Maitland Giants had the better of Durbanville Villains 13-2 in a match mixed with controversy and emotions. In the Promotion League, Helderberg Pirates beat Thistle 10-2 in a close game at Radloff Park in Somerset West. Seven runs from five hits, one error, a walk and a hit by pitch swung the game in Pirates’ favour after they held a slender 3-2 lead. Kieran Clackett and Darryn Chalmers shared the pitching duties for Pirates. Revan Plaatjies, Gavin Jefferies and Keagan Watson did duty for Thistle. In other Promotion League results, Lansdowne Eagles beat Silvertree Titans 14-4 and Westridge Yankees beat Battswood 21-5. The upcoming weekend sees teams playing on Saturday 14 December and Monday 16 December, which is a public holiday. Thereafter the teams take a short festive break.
Youth T20 tournament kicks off Awqaf SA, in association with Primrose Cricket Club, will host the fourth annual T20 Youth Cricket Tournament from Monday 16 to Thursday 19 December. A record 68 teams from the u.11 to u.17 age categories, girls’ teams as well as 150 mini-cricketers, will take to the field in what has become the largest T20 youth tournament of its kind in South Africa. This year’s event is of added significance as it will commemorate the 50th anniversary of the death in detention of Imam Abdullah Haron at the hands of the apartheid regime. “Imam Haron was not only a religious leader and political activist who gave his life in advocating social justice, but he was also an avid
sportsman who played a significant role in non-racial sport,” Awqaf deputy CEO and tournament convenor, Mickaeel Collier, explained. The T20 Youth Cricket Tournament started from humble beginnings in 2016 and is hosted in association with Primrose Cricket Club. It is held under the patronage of Cricket South Africa vice-president, Beresford Williams, and Western Province Cricket Association CEO, Nabeal Dien. Collier said the tournament is aimed at giving equal opportunity to our youth, irrespective of their economic and social backgrounds. “In today’s day and age so much participation in sporting events is reserved for only those who have the funds. Our tourna-
ment is a family-friendly event that aims to embody all the positive values of post-apartheid South Africa … we have deliberately chosen to remain at grassroots grounds. “The four-day tournament aims to promote social cohesion and is designed to give the young players a sense of cricket heritage that instills within them the values of social justice via sport,” he said. Collier called on the community to come out and support the young cricketers who will play at the Primrose Cricket Club grounds in Loch Road, Kenilworth and neighbouring fields in Chukker Road in Kenwyn and Rylands.

More than 30 dedicated and passionate sportsmen and women were proudly celebrated at the annual Independent Institute of Education (IIE) Varsity College Cape Town recently. The prestigious event boasted 125 guests and took place at Newlands Cricket Stadium. The IIE’s Varsity College Cape Town athlete of the year award went to paddler Christie Mackenzie, a student in the second year of her IIE BA Psychology and Communication. Sports acknowledgement awards were handed out to 20 students. These awards acknowledge those students who contributed significantly to a particular sport in 2019 and who deserve recognition for their efforts. The IIE’s Varsity College believes that the student experience extends beyond the classroom. Its sporting programmes cater for everyone, with events ranging from the annual national University Sports South Africa (USSA) to the more laid-back social sporting get togethers. This year, Christie received South African colours and received her blazer for being in the South African team for three years;
KwaZulu-Natal colours; Western Province colours; sixth u.23 K1 and fourth in the senior category at the canoe World Marathon Championships in China; Dusi Canoe Marathon – first u.23 K1, first senior woman K1; Fish River Canoe Marathon – second senior women’s K2; Breede Canoe Marathon – first senior woman K2 and a top 10 finish. “We take great pride in recognising sports excellence, we encourage our students to excel both academically and recreationally.
