HOUT BAY
Fishers’ voices heard NETTALIE VILJOEN
T
he announcement made by the minister of environment, forestry and fisheries, Barbara Creecy, that small-scale fishing rights would be allocated to those who qualified by December was met with silence broken by a single “kwaai” at the Hout Bay Fisheries Stakeholders meeting on Thursday 10 October. Two hours earlier the hall at the Sports and Recreation Centre in Hangberg was reverberating with the voices of fishermen and women, competing for a chance to share their grievances and concerns with the min-
ister. Many expressed their anger at all of the empty promises made by former ministers responsible for this portfolio. “Ons het niks (We have nothing),” was a sentence often heard as members of the fishing community described the suffering they and their children endured. Stepping up to the podium, Creecy admitted fisheries was not in a good state, referring to the existence of prima facie evidence of wrongdoing in the department and the fact that eight officials were facing criminal charges. “It is not going to be easy to turn this ship around, but I’m sure with your help we can
succeed,” Creecy said. With regards to the pending allocation of small-scale fishing rights, she cautioned those who had interim fishing relief rights not to sell them. “Some of you have unfortunately already sold your interim relief for this year. It wasn’t a good decision, because you can’t have interim relief and rights. So we will have to have a transitional arrangement.” Creecy’s statement that she would appoint an internal audit unit to investigate the small-scale fishing rights application process did elicit cheers from the crowd. “In the Western Cape, 10 000 people ap-
plied for the small fishing policy; only 2 500 qualified. That does not seem to be right. Some of you have raised the fact that you have been forced into illegal activities because you can’t engage in legal activities. We can all agree that if you can’t go through the front door, you are going to go through the window.” Sue Middleton, acting deputy directorgeneral: fisheries, said they were still working on the logistics of the internal audit, but that it too had to be completed by December. Further details would be communicated soon through the local press. V To page 3.

Tips to keep kids safe In the wake of the kidnappings which have made headlines over the last few months, Fidelity ADT has issued a general alert to all residents. Teach your children: . They must always walk to or from school with a friend or friends. . If they get picked up at school, they should never leave the premises. . Younger children particularly must never get into a stranger’s car; even if the stranger claims that someone they love is hurt and that they have been sent to pick them up. . Consider using a password system. If the person collecting them from school cannot repeat the password you and your child agreed on, they should not get into the car. . If a stranger approaches your child, they should not talk to them. . If your child does encounter any suspicious activity, encourage them to get a good look and memorise their physical details and clothing, as well as their vehicle. . Make sure your children memorise their full names, address and phone number, as well as emergency contacts. Using a play phone, teach them when and how to dial 10111. Remind students: . Older children should be reminded to keep their valuables out of sight at all times and not to use headphones because dampens the ability to sense surroundings. . Alter their route: If they are walking home or to public transport they need to alter their route. “If you feel threatened, you can at least knock on someone’s door for help if you’re walking through a familiar neighbourhood.” . If you are using a taxi service, ensure it is a bona fide service provider. . Be extra cautious to go and meet anyone who befriends you on social media. Always meet in a public space with two or three friends as backup. . Be cautious to be lured by people offering you a job or modelling contract.

FROM PAGE 1 “The unit will study the list and the process to determine if there are people on the list who shouldn’t be there or if there are people who should be there, but aren’t. Organisations that have problems with the list will be allowed to make a representation before the internal audit unit,” said Middleton. Creecy said a large part of the audit would be to determine if people failed unfairly, and if so, whether there was legal action she could take to help the situation. In addition,
the application process would be reopened in two years’ time. Community activist Roscoe Jacobs said the youth were becoming more disenfranchised because there wasn’t much skill development within the sector. He also said they wanted aquaculture farming (the rearing of aquatic animals in cages) to become a reality. In answer, Creecy said they were bringing back the Working for Fisheries pro-
gramme. “At the moment it is only dealing with harbour maintenance and catch data monitoring.” She said the department wanted to expand the programme to include boat maintenance, net repairs, tackle and gear making and diving. With regard to aquaculture, Creecy said she had gotten a commitment from her officials that a pilot project in Hout Bay would be implemented next year. “I have put it in my book and will make sure that it does indeed start,” she said. The lack of insurance policies and labour protection for fishermen and women was another contentious issue. Community worker Nomathemba Sotomela said when people are injured or killed in road accidents, they receive a payout from the Road Accident Fund, but when fishermen die at sea, their families receive nothing. She said fishermen and women should also receive a pension from the state. “Kyk na die ou vissermanne, maak seker dat hulle ook ’n stukkie het (Look after the old fishermen, make sure they also have a little piece).” Sotomela said. Creecy said Sea Harvest had launched the South African Development Fund which provides for death and disability cover for small fishers onboard a vehicle that is South African Maritime Safety Authority (Samsa) approved. “When you get on a vehicle you have to find
out two things. Is the vehicle Samsa approved, and has the owner signed up to this fund,” she probed. She said talks were also currently being held with the minister of employment and labour, Thulas Nxesi. “Fishers are not covered by the labour protection that other workers get – workmanship compensation, UIF and so on. We have to find a way that we can extend this protection to you,” Creecy said. Community activist Donovan van der Heyden asked Creecy to seriously investigate fronting within the industry. The minister accepted the mandate, saying the ministry would follow up on allegations of fronting. “If you want to make a case, you need evidence. So let’s work on this one company on who we have the evidence and let’s see,” Creecy said. The fishing basket for approved smallscale fishers was announced at the meeting. It includes all nearshore species: line fish, lobster, abalone, net fish, squid, handline hake, seaweed, oysters and white mussels. Creecy said they planned to put more in the basket when it was time for the Final List of Fishing Rights Allocation Process (Frap) 2020/’21. “We are going to give you 100% of hake handline, 50% of line fish, 25% of squid and 100% of muscles and oysters,” she said.

A look at mindful drinking NETTALIE VILJOEN
“T
he youth of today.” A deep sigh and a shaking of the head usually accompanies this phrase. But an emerging global trend, which has a younger generation drinking less than their parents, turns these words of admonition into praise. The “Mindful Drinking” movement has seen more people choose low- and non-alcoholic drinks in other parts of the world. And now this trend is gaining momentum in South Africa. Capetonians Sean O’Connor and Barry Tyson launched Mindful Drinking SA to promote and de-stigmatise the consumption of non-alcoholic drinks. They are hosting the Mindful Drinking Festival at Kirstenbosch Cottages in Newlands on Sunday 20 October to showcase the wide range of alcohol-free drinks available in South Africa. O’Connor says: “Our mission is to make alcohol-free drinks socially acceptable – even desirable – for young and old to choose in any situation.” He says there are several reasons why the younger generation are drinking less – health and fitness priorities, greater awareness of social harm caused by alcohol and exposure to positive lifestyle trends on social media. “Alcohol-free drinks taste better than ever before. The sooner we get South Africans to embrace them as a normal part of our society, the better,” he says. Castle Free, Heineken 0,0 and Savannah Non-Alcoholic launched locally in the past 18 months, joining a growing number of other alcohol-free beers, non-alcoholic wines, craft “vir-gins”, mocktails and kombuchas.
The “non-alcoholic” classification as per the Foodstuffs, Cosmetics and Disinfectant Act, is defined as a product of which the alcohol content is less than 0,5%. The new Castle Free, launched in 2017, is now the largest non-alcoholic beer brand in South Africa.

Millennials and the Rise of the #PlantParent Forget yoga, time-poor under-35s are looking to gardens to destress, reveals new research. There was a time when young adults were afraid to put down roots. Now, it seems, that’s all they want to do. Roots. And stems. And flowers. And plants, soil, bulbs, veggies, vines and mulch. That’s what should be encouraged on Garden Day, now in its fourth year and taking place on Sunday 20 of October: the opportunity to celebrate the greener things in life. Because there’s no such thing as too much mulch. Millennials have taken on what is traditionally seen as a fairly laid back activity. New research released in the United Kingdom reveals that millennials aged 35 and under are more passionate about gardens than their older counterparts, but have less time to enjoy their benefits. “Plants create a space in which you never feel alone because you have so many living things around you,” Corrie Gunter explains. “We live in a time when everything has to happen so fast. It’s just go, go, go. Through gardening, you learn to be patient, to take your time.” Meanwhile, in Gauteng, in between raising a son and running a specialised creative industry Johan Coetzer (11) in his garden. project management business, 35-year-old Shruthi Nair makes space for cony space can generate produce for the some me-time gardening. family.” Up and about at 04:00 most mornings, she And you’re never too young to start.

The 11-year-old is also a committed vegetable and herb grower and often hones his hobby by watching gardening programmes on TV and dipping into some gardening books he has collected. He has developed a particular interest in succulents which he cultivates in pots and often transplants into bigger containers as they grow. He keeps the plants on the stoep, but takes care to put them out in the sun from time to time. Gardens give people a sense of purpose. Poppy Jamie, a well-being entrepreneur, believes that it’s a return to the source, of sorts. “Anxiety and stress are becoming increasingly prevalent issues,” she explains. “This means that there’s never been a more urgent need for activities that take us away from technology and nurture community.” Garden Day is for everyone: beginner gardeners, patio potters, rose growers and wild weeders. It doesn’t matter if you’re part of a group of gardeners growing and harvesting home crops, or a Kardashian whose : perfectly pristine, rolling lawn is sure to make everyone else turn green, now it’s time to hang up your gloves and allow yourself the time to appreciate your garden.

Vusi, a learner at The Kronendal Music Academy, is the time-keeper. This has taught him to be accountable.
HOUT BAY
Help Vusi (10) beat the odds V
usi (10), a learner at The Kronendal Music Academy (KMA), is deserving of a drumroll. According to KMA director and founder, Dwyn Griesel, the aspirant drummer has shown tremendous progress – both in his musical proficiency and his social interaction – since joining the KMA beginner music course in 2018. Griesel says Vusi has so much surplus energy and is easily distracted. “But when he is at KMA, drumming is his sweet spot. He can let out all that energy and get caught up in the noise and physical engagement that drumming demands. The rhythm of the music centres him and the responsibility of being the time-keeper keeps him accountable to
the band around him,” she says. Griesel says it is a treat to watch this little guy’s sheer enjoyment when he plays and how his arms and legs seem to be in sync with his mind. “Music is a seamless connection to Vusi’s inner workings when the world around him can’t process all that he has to offer,” she says. Founded in 2007, KMA offers the universal language of music as a stepping stone in the lives of impoverished children from Imizamo Yethu informal settlement and Hangberg fishing village. The cost of Vusi’s music bursary is R15 000 for one year. KMA requests donations of R500 or more to cover his full bursary. V To support Vusi, call 021 790 4457 or email info@kmahoutbay.org.

Over 50s get a kick out of tourney B
attswood Football Club hosted an over50 Goodwill tournament at William Herbert sports ground from Saturday 21 and Monday 23 September as part of its 90th anniversary celebrations. Alan Donough, a member of the club, says the tournament was quite significant as it brought together old friends who were prominent competitors under the South
African Council of Sports (SACOS) banner during the apartheid era. The participating teams were Everton (Heideveld), Liverpool-Portlands (Mitchell’s Plain), Saints (Port Elizabeth), Devonshire Rovers (also celebrating 90 years) and Battwsood Football Club (Wynberg). Adeeb Abrahams, the president of the club, says the tournament was played in
true goodwill spirit and thoroughly enjoyed by all. “Thank you to all who contributed on and off the field,” says Abrahams. All players received a 90th anniversary participating medal; and Team of the Tournament Trophy was awarded to Saints (PE) by player consensus. Players and supporters also held a brief

We say, ‘No, enough is enough’,” says Donough.

Study questions ocean pollution N
ew research led by the University of Cape Town (UCT) has cast doubt on the widely held assumption that most marine plastic comes from land-based sources. Rather, it showed that a significant proportion come from ships dumping their litter at sea in contravention of international law. “Recent studies of litter in the North Pacific garbage patch and remote islands in the Pacific Ocean show that fishing gear and other shipping-related equipment account for much of the mass of plastic at sea,” says UCT Prof Peter Ryan, an expert on marine plastics who led the research. “The challenge comes in understanding the origin of ‘general’ litter – food packaging and domestic products.” Isolated oceanic islands can become catch-alls for ocean waste when they are near a gyre. Despite being more than 2 500 kilometres from any mainland, Inaccessible Island’s shores are littered with plastic debris, of which about one-third is bottles. By acting as a sampling net for South Atlantic Ocean litter, this island has helped scientists piece together clues to the origins of the “general” plastic in our oceans. “Bottles can be useful tracers because they often have marks that indicate where and when they were made, giving an estimate of the
maximum time they could have been at sea. We could also use the presence of marine animals – such as goose barnacles – on the bottles as another indicator of how long they had been in the ocean,” says Ryan. By combining models of oceanic currents with information on the origins and age of the bottles they collected, the research team could assess whether it was plausible that the bottles could have drifted from the country where they were made. “We started monitoring litter on Inaccessible Island in the 1980s. We’ve been able to chart long-term changes in the origins of bottles over the past three decades,” says Ryan. Of the bottles that arrived during the researchers’ three-month stay on Inaccessible Island, 84% were from Asia, at least two-thirds of which came from China. Most of these bottles were made within one to two years of washing ashore, whereas it would take four to five years – at least – for bottles to drift from Asia via the Indian Ocean. Since the dumping at sea of plastics was banned in 1989, it has been widely assumed that some 80% of litter in the sea comes from on land. However, there is little hard evidence to confirm the importance of land-based sources for plastic in remote areas.

Responsibility to eradicate suicide ‘belongs to everyone’ “The time to act against suicide is now.” This was the message of this year’s World Mental Health Day observed on Thursday 10 October. Dylan Oktober, spokesperson for Cape Mental Health, says the responsibility of eradicating suicide does not rest on one sole entity or person. “It requires support from an entire community to address the root causes that fuel the risk of suicide and to effectively combat suicide,” says Oktober. This month, the organisation aligns its efforts to support the global discussion around suicide prevention and undertake to continue providing the necessary mental health services to the most vulnerable communities. Dr Ingrid Daniels, director of Cape Mental Health and president-elect of the World Federation for Mental Health, says despite illnesses and neurological diseases being the third-highest burden in South Africa, on average only four per cent of the health
budget is spent on providing mental health services. “We have sufficient research and know the statistics, yet our country’s investment remains sorely lacking,” says Daniels. The organisation is concerned about the growing gap in mental health services. “Instead of scaling up, we are scaling back. How do we justify the policies, the declarations signed and the intentions that do not move beyond the actual investment in mental health? “If we want to save lives and give people the dignity that they deserve, then it is time for us to act now. Everyone, everywhere has the right to mental health,” says Daniels. According to a statement released by Cape Mental Health, South Africa is ranked within the top 50 countries with the highest suicide rate in the world. The World Health Organisation’s 2016 recordings show 12,8 people had committed suicide per 100 000 of our population.
The number of suicide occurrences was recorded to be particularly more prevalent among men compared to women. Every year approximately eight thousand people commit suicide, making it the third greatest cause of unnatural death within the country. This translates into nearly 667 recorded deaths every month. With every hour that passes in South Africa, there will be at least one fatal suicide. According to senior psychology lecturer Jason Bantjes, for every fatal suicide recorded, there are an estimated 20 attempts. Statistics show young adults seem to be the most at-risk group to this epidemic. Youth between the ages of 19 and 24 years old are considered to be more at risk due to depression, suicidal thinking, self-harming and suicide attempts. Cape Mental Health offers proactive mental healthcare services at no cost. Its counselling and support services include:
. Social Work Counselling programme: professional social workers help in the development of skills to cope with the stresses of everyday life. . MindMatters: a programme for senior secondary schools in the South Peninsula that aims to improve the mental health and wellbeing of young people. . Fountain House: a community-based rehabilitation centre that provides vocational training and skills development to people with psychosocial disabilities. . Rainbow Foundation: a communitybased support group that focuses on providing psychosocial rehabilitation and keeping individuals living with a psychosocial disability well and out of hospitals. . Corporate Employee Assistance programme: in partnership with Cape Mental Health, corporates can provide a counselling service as part of its employee assistance programme.

City’s homeless study questioned NETTALIE VILJOEN
S
o how many homeless people are there in Cape Town? With World Homeless Day marked around the world on Thursday 10 October, this conundrum was again under the spotlight. An answer, provided by an enumeration study conducted in November 2018, has been drawn into question by service providers who work with the homeless. According to the Western Cape government’s 2019 statistics, released to the press in June, there are about 4 862 homeless people in the greater Cape Town area, with more than 700 living in the central business district (CBD). This constitutes a 16% decrease when compared to the findings of a study done four years earlier. The study released by the City’s then Mayco member for social development and early childhood development (SDECD) Suzette Little ’s directorate, “Street People Research 2014/15”, found there were 7 383 homeless people in Cape Town at that time. Jon Hopkins, chief operations officer (COO) of U-turn, a registered Christian non-governmental organisation (NGO), says the reality experienced by U-turn or any of its NGO partners across the City is the exact opposite. U-Turn, focused on the rehabilitation of the homeless, keeps extensive records on numbers of people it sees yearly. “These numbers have not decreased; the number of individuals accessing our services has increased by 35% since 2015,” Hopkins says.

Hopkins does commend the City for its role in addressing homelessness. To his knowledge, the City of Cape Town is the only major metropolitan area in South Africa that has conducted a homeless enumeration study. The SDECD also entered into a dialogue with street people and the street people sector at a World Homeless Day event held at Bellville South Civic Centre, Bellville South, last Thursday. Several service providers attended the event, including City health, the Matrix clinic for substance abuse rehabilitation support, Sassa and the department of home affairs. The engagement aimed to determine the needs and provide an opportunity for closing the gaps in responding to people living on the street. Badroodien was a speaker at the event. He says the City hopes to develop an improved interface model between it and organisations that provide services to street people. “We know that there is no current silver bullet to solve this and we will look to working with partners who are able to support our positive social intervention programmes,” Badroodien says. The dialogue will inform a larger engagement with the sector in November to strengthen the interface between the City and the street people sector. The event will be attended by 240 street people and will include a pop-up clothing stall, dignity station and hair grooming.

Be wary of fake news and tips shared on social media It is quick and easy to share any security information or warnings on social media but if you didn’t confirm its authenticity before posting, you might end up doing more damage than you think. We are seeing more and more fake news posts relating to crime warnings and other security and safety news hitting the likes of Facebook, Twitter and WhatsApp. The intention might appear to have been noble and praiseworthy but it often turns out to have been in reality driven by less than honest motives. These items often fuel the agenda of an individual or group and promote fearmongering based on false information. By
forwarding the information you are promoting fake news. When it comes to security-related fake news, the effects are all the more harmful. Criminals are often behind securityrelated fake news items. Their objective is to promote their own selfish agenda, whatever that may be. It can lead to wasted resources. The police and security companies may respond to a particular fake news item claiming an incident has happened, for example, while criminals target another area. This is why it is so important to verify any information you receive before forwarding it. It is also important to
watch what photographs you post. Posting a photo of an alleged suspect could result in that case potentially being thrown out of court at a later date. The important thing to remember is – if there is any doubt as to the legitimacy of the information, don’t share it. Information can be verified through the police or other security authorities. We all need to be responsible when it comes to spreading information, especially relating to safety and security. Otherwise, we could be responsible for igniting fires where there are no fires at all. JADE HANNING, Fidelity ADT Cape Town South district manager

I interviewed his daughter,

Spare the rod ... My letter refers to the ruling by the national government banning parents and guardians from spanking their children. I am always impressed with the general public’s pontification of general issues, especially as a beacon monitoring the moral compass impacting society. From the Holy Bible, “Spare the rod and spoil the child,” rings true, but is it not outdated? As a Christian and ex-teacher, I greatly support all insightful forms
of discipline and domestic corporal punishment instead of “spanking” children. Violence begets violence. I believe that “children must be seen and not hurt”, and at the sole discretion of the parent or guardian, may a child be admonished meaningfully. An Afrikaans idiom that often amused me as a teacher is, “’n Pakslae op sy tyd, is soos brood en konfyt”. But do so smothered in love. MARK KLEINSCHMIDT Lansdowne
OPINION EDITORIAL
Recognise the power of stokvel W
e are approaching the festive season, and there can surely be no better time to recognise the power of an age-old African community savings mechanism: the stokvel. Stokvels have been the savings ‘engine room’ for South African communities through apartheid and into democracy; and they remain very effective today, even within the context of the country’s troubling poverty. According to research, R44 billion is saved collectively by 820 000 stokvels in South Africa each year, and more than 11 million South Africans are currently members of stokvels. In addition, according to the National Stokvel Association of South Africa, our stokvel market is worth more than some of South Africa’s largest businesses. The vibrancy of local stokvels is one of the reasons why most of the major financial brands have launched specific accounts and services to meet their needs. Although the stokvel has traditionally been a cash-based community savings tool, today a whopping 41% are considered ‘banked’ and use, at the very least, a transactional account. There are a lot of money management options out there for stokvel leaders to consider. These range from opportunities to take advantage of the better interest rates paid by investment accounts to shopping discounts offered by bulk buying. There’s no question that with smart decision making the group’s money can be made to work harder, but for this to be true there has to be a careful analysis of costs versus rewards. (It is important to examine) the fine print of any financial product for additional costs, including hidden monthly membership charges, along with additional line items buried in obscure terms and conditions text. This is the golden rule for all financial products. You can win or lose a lot in the fine print – and if you have never even read this text or understood it, there’s a good chance your collective could be losing money. Individual stokvel members might also be able to put away more money than they think. The key again lies in understanding fine print of financial products such as credit life insurance, which members most likely pay for on their credit facilities. Yalu’s name has become synonymous with credit life insurance, the least understood form of long-term insurance in the South African market. Credit life insurance covers borrowers’ debt in the case of retrenchment, disability or death. This type of insurance is sometimes mandatory and is generally offered by the same financial institution offering the loan. The premiums charged for such policies can vary, and as a result a lot of consumers find themselves unwittingly paying the maximum possible premium every month – creating room for savings if they were to choose a different provider. As always, information is crucial. Because many consumers aren’t aware of the details of their credit life insurance policies, they’re losing out on potential savings every month, and this money could contribute significantly to their overall savings efforts. Once people understand this, they are more likely to take the simple steps they need to in order to reduce their monthly commitments. As most stokvel members are already aware, there are only two ways to improve your financial situation: spend less or save more. In both areas, paying attention to all the details of financial products and services can have a big impact on the individual, and therefore the group. If, as a broad South African society, we improve this Nkazi Sokhulu, co-founder skill, our stokvel and chief executive officer heritage will at credit life insurance grow stronger brand, Yalu. than it already is.

oung athletes between eight and 13 from all over Cape Town gathered at Green Point Athletics Stadium on Saturday 12 October for Western Province Athletics’ “Little Athletics” event and open event. The occasion was made all the more special with the presence of three-time Olympic gold medallist Justin Gatlin, who along with fellow Olympian Sharrieffa Barksdale, were on the lookout for the best young athletic talent to form part of their Born 2 Be Elite programme. The annual Little Athletics series started on Saturday, 28 September at Vygieskraal. These events introduce children to track and field activities and offer a series of competitions that promote a “be your best” attitude. The emphasis is on fun, participation, performance and improving technique. The aim of the programme reflects WPA’s mission and particularly focuses on promoting positive attitudes and a healthy lifestyle through family and community involvement in athletic activities. Born 2 Be Elite, has a vision to build a long-
term programme that creates an international “speed” community, with South Africa being identified as the initial focus area for the initiative. The aim is to develop: communities, athletes, coaches, resources and infrastructure. The long-term programme is to cultivate grassroots sports programmes in community hubs, as well as developing an elite squad through the latest technology. Gatlin and Barksdale wowed crowds, with Gatlin vowing that they aim to expand the programme locally. “We have a couple of ideas we want to bring to light for Born to be Elite, to partner with other athletes as well to be able to enrich the programme here,” he says, adding that the local hospitality has had him awestruck. “I am loving it here, this is like a second home to me,” he added, before providing some wisdom for young athletes to hold true to. Keep believing in yourself. Keep dreaming. Don’t let anyone take your dream away from you. It’s going to be hard sometimes and like the sun, there is also the rain. Remember the hard times and keep believing in yourself.”
