Early birds get bacon and egg breakfast Residents headed for the hills on Sunday morning (15 November) when they participated in the Constantia Glen 5km breakfast fun walk/run which winded its way from Constantia Glen’s tasting room through vineyards and up and down the rolling hills of the farm. All participants received a glass of Cap Classique and a coffee along with a breakfast of a scrambled egg croissant with bacon, salmon or avocado at the finish.

she said. According to Abraham, the SPCA’s intention was to send Kataza to a rehabilitation centre whereby he would have been rehabilitated and then released back into the wild. “Kataza has been raiding both occupied and unoccupied homes in the Tokai area on an almost daily basis. The SPCA is of the opinion that Kataza requires rehabilitation in order to prevent further risk of raiding behaviour,” she added.

Abraham said returning Kataza to the Slangkop troop continued to present a risk of harm caused by human and wildlife conflict and should his raiding behaviour resume, Kataza would be potentially teaching others in the troop the same behaviour.

“It remains to be seen what the City of Cape Town is going to do when Kataza continues with his raiding behaviour in Slangkop,” she added.

The City has stated that, upon his release, Kataza’s previous raiding record would not be considered in future decisions.

“This is in an effort to give him a fair chance to adjust to his natal home range,

namely the surrounding mountains in the Kommetjie area,” the media statement read.

Preceding Kataza’s relocation to Tokai, an application to euthanise the baboon had already been made (by Human and Wildlife Solutions, the City’s then service provider) and rejected by the City’s baboon management programme (“Kommetjie baboon reprieved from sentence of ‘death’”, News24, 15 August). The City also requested that the public refrain from following Kataza to allow him space and time within his natal Slangkop troop home range. It encouraged the surrounding community to assist by baboon proofing their properties as far as possible, and to reduce food attractants “as this will discourage raiding”.

The SPCA supports this call, urging residents to practice responsible waste management. “As opportunistic feeders, baboons will always choose the highest nutritional value obtainable with the least amount of effort,” Abraham said.

hile many may be celebrating the return of the male chacma baboon called Kataza to his natal Slangkop troop in Kommetjie last week as a win for baboon rights, the Cape of Good Hope SPCA is not convinced that Kataza’s story will end in “and he lived happily ever after”.

About ten weeks after the baboon was first relocated from Kommetjie to Tokai in an attempt to negate his alleged raiding behaviour, the City of Cape Town announced in a media statement that Kataza had been returned to his home on Thursday 12 November. “The return of SK11, colloquially referred to as Kataza, to his natal Slangkop troop home range followed after detailed monitoring of the situation by the City,” the City’s statement read.

What it failed to mention is that the City’s decision also followed an outcry among ac-

tivists and residents (“Give Kataza a chance”, People’s Post, 8 September), the issue of an application for the review of the City’s decision to relocate Kataza in the Western Cape High Court on Friday 2 October by animal activist Ryno Engelbrecht, and the submission of an application to Cape Nature for the necessary permit to capture and relocate Kataza to the Riverside Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre in Limpopo on Friday 23 October by the Cape of Good Hope SPCA. Following the City’s announcement on Saturday 7 November that Kataza would be returned to Kommetjie “as soon as practically possible”, Engelbrecht agreed to withdraw his application to the high court.

Belinda Abraham, communications, resource development and education manager at the SPCA, told People’s Post that the SPCA had also withdrawn its application to Cape Nature. “The matter now lies with the City of Cape Town to decide on the way forward since Kataza will be taken back to his natal troop. The SPCA was not consulted on this translocation back to his natal troop,”

Have your say on traffic act SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS @Samantha_lee121 National government has released draft legislation which could soon prohibit motorists from consuming any liquor before getting behind the wheel. In a series of tweets and statements released by transport minister Fikile Mbalula, he said the aim of the new legislation

is to decrease the legal breath-alcohol limit from less than 0.05 grams per 100 millilitres via blood sample or 0.24 mF per 1 000 mF via breathalyzer to 0.00 grams for any motorist.

This means that should you consume any liquor, you could be arrested if stopped in a roadblock. These amendments will be made to the National Road Traffic Act. The proposal was accepted by parliament earlier this year.

Thus far, more than 6 500 people have had their say on the bill through the non-profit site dearsouthafrica.co.za, with public participation closing on Friday 20 November.

At this stage, there are mixed emotions on the proposed changes.

Some of the participants have referred to the proposal as “laughable” and “unnecessary”. People’s Post polled readers on social media and in the streets to get their take on the proposal. Wesley Fourie says he will not be commenting on the bill.

“They have already made up their mind. I

am not going to waste time commenting because I don’t feel it will change their minds,” he says. “What is more concerning is that they believe a bill will stop people from drinking and driving.”

But for others on the opposing side, the proposed legislation will add a welcomed additional line of defence.

Mbalula has been warning residents that this could be adopted as early as December this year.

HANGBERG

City and residents in housing strife NETTALIE VILJOEN

T

he City of Cape Town has denied claims made by Hangberg Hout Bay community activists that it is procrastinating on housing delivery in the area.

In a media statement released last month, the activist group claimed the City’s oversight allocation committee (OAC) was dragging its feet on the completion of the potential beneficiaries list process for the Hangberg Phase two project.

According to Roscoe Jacobs, a spokesperson for activists, the community-elected project steering committee (PSC) had signed off on the housing allocation request form (ARF) which outlined the committee’s position on who the beneficiaries should be as well as where these beneficiaries should come from.

Jacobs, who is also a member of the PSC, said the next step was for the OAC to determine whether it agreed or disagreed with PSC’s position. He said only then could a list of potential beneficiaries be made public.

However, Jacobs said the committee hadn’t yet met to decide on the issue, neither had the PSC been given any indication of when the OAC was planning to meet.

“This needs to be prioritised and it needs to be pushed from the City of Cape Town’s side to ensure that we can fast-track this housing project so that we mitigate the possibility of the allocated land, which is currently vacant, from being occupied,” Jacobs said, adding that the Hangberg community had already seen other land, originally set aside for housing, being used for other initiatives “because of delays and because of the lack of accountability”.

The Hangberg Phase one project, which comprised 71 community residential units (CRU) known as Sea View, had been completed in 2016.

Approached for comment on the progress

Mayco member for human settlements, Malusi Booi. PHOTO of the Phase two project, the City said it was still in the feasibility stage.

According to the City, studies had been done on two identified land parcels, namely the smaller site Erf 2885 (3 079m²), which was currently being used as temporary relocation area (TRA) site, and the bigger site Erf 2697 (20 076m²), located behind the Sentinel school.

“The bigger site has been found not to be feasible because of its steepness and loose soil characteristics that would be very costly to stabilise and prepare for human habitation. Alternative land is being sought in the Hangberg and Hout Bay areas for inclusion in the project,” said Malusi Booi, the City’s Mayco member for human settlements.

Booi explained that the plan was for the project to consist of a mix of breaking new ground (BNG) houses, CRU rental units and

FOR ILLUSTRATION: CITY OF CAPE TOWN (FILE)

Gap housing for those earning above the BNG income threshold of R3 500. He said the initial estimate had been for 400 units but that this number would most likely need to be reduced in line with the size of the feasible land once it had been identified.

As with regards to why the AOC had not yet met to decide on the ARF, Booi said the form had not been fully signed and, therefore, not submitted to the committee because of the uncertainty of the feasibility of the project. Only once additional suitable land was secured could the feasibility of the project be determined, he said.

“The process of drawing up and publishing a beneficiary list has been put on hold pending the outcome of additional land identification. It would be irresponsible of the City to commence this process when it is not yet clear if the project will continue or not,

and, if so, what size or form it will take. The project steering committee will be notified in due course of the outcome and way forward,” Booi said.

He added that the City would never purposefully delay a project.

“It makes no sense to do so. It is in the City’s interest to roll out projects timeously without delay. There are certain practical and legislative processes that must be followed. The City has experienced project teams who are committed and execute projects in the fastest time possible, meeting all requirements. We want to see our projects being successfully completed and our qualifying beneficiaries move into their new homes,” he said.

Booi said, due to the housing need, the City had a pipeline of projects spanning many years.

“It has to roll out projects in various communities and cannot only concentrate on one community due to financial and human resource limitations and also for fairness. So communities get turns in getting housing projects,” he explained.

Jacobs, however, said the community had grown tired of the City’s promises. “We want the City of Cape Town to move away from words. Their words must turn into action and their action must be implemented. As the project steering committee representing the interests of the community, we are only able to do so much. The City of Cape Town now needs to come to the party because their failure cannot be allowed.”

Work at all of the City’s housing projects was halted in March due to the national lockdown. Construction resumed from May when the country moved to level four of the lockdown. “It must be noted, the City has a panel of contractors tender which has helped very much to keep projects on track and to make up for time lost in general,” Booi added.

TEXAS

Hangberg households switched on NETTALIE VILJOEN

A

lthough it was smiles all round at the recent switch on of 10 more households in Hangberg’s Texas informal settlement, a shadow did mar this joyous event as claims of harassment and intimidation of City of Cape Town officials and contractors surfaced.

Rob Quintas, councillor for ward 74, was present when these households were connected to the City’s electricity grid on Thursday 5 November for the very first time. Quintas said that they wished to continue this project up in the Hangberg Improvement Development Area (Hida) and that officials were willing and able to connect more families to safer and legal power. However, he claimed, these efforts were being hamstrung by “agitators”. “Unfortunately, our officials and contractors have been chased off site on three attempts in the past 18 months by agitators who prevent this service being rolled out,” he added.

Quintas claimed that these agitators demanded that the City either connect them, “despite them living illegally on land that does not fall under our jurisdiction” or that they would only allow the work to continue if they were paid extortionist fees to stay away from site.

The Texas informal settlement project, which cost the City R117 000, was completed between Wednesday 14 and Friday 23 October on schedule.

Speaking at the switch-on event, the City’s Mayco member for energy and climate

change, Phindile Maxiti, said: “The City’s teams have worked around the clock to ensure that services are provided to our residents as soon as possible. We are especially proud because these projects immediately improve the living conditions of residents,” said Maxiti.

He added that the project would enhance the safety of residents who could now move away from dangerous open flames or lighting.

“Learners who usually study by candlelight in the evening can now do so by turning on a switch in their homes and extend the time they have in the evening to study safely,” Maxiti added.

Quintas said the delivery of electricity to homes in the Texas area provided hope and safety to not only these families, but also surrounding neighbours.

“Those who have now received compliant, legal, safe and reliable electricity connections are able to rest assured that their fridges, lights and appliances are no longer at risk of damage due to sparks and power surges. They are able to live without fear of electrical shocks,” he said.

According to Quintas, the City also installed public lighting on the pole. “Surrounding residents have already expressed gratitude in that the light prevents crime and antisocial behaviour.”

The City encouraged beneficiaries to resist the temptation to tamper or create illegal connections to their boxes, “as these activities cause power outages and over capacitate the grid, and are dangerous and carry a hefty

fine”.

Quintas explained that these fines were recouped by decimating the rand value of beneficiaries’ power purchases. “The extra use caused by illegal connections will in time prevent them from their free allocation of City

power,” he said.

HOUT BAY | LITTLE MOWBRAY | ROSEBANK

Security app all the buzz in Cape NETTALIE VILJOEN

T

he buzz surrounding a free security and safety app originally created for the Hout Bay area just seems to be getting bigger by the minute. Within a year, the app has gone from covering one suburb to 38 – and it is still growing.

Little Mowbray and Rosebank are among the latest communities to adopt the app.

Having officially joined on Thursday 1 October, the number of people living in these areas who have registered on the app already stand at 540.

Dave Sivertsen, director of the Little Mowbray Rosebank Improvement District (LMRID) Board (security portfolio), says it would be great to have all the residents of the LMRID download the app and use it at every opportunity.

“Only the residents of the LMRID area can make this Buzzer app work. The more people use Buzzer, the stronger and safer the community will become. For us to reduce crime we all need to work together, including the police, community policing forums, neighbourhood watches, improvement districts, ward committees, the City of Cape Town and its departments as well as the local security service providers,” Sivertsen says.

People’s Post first reported on the app last year (“Buzzer rings in new era of safety”, 17 September 2019) when Buzzer played an in-

tegral part in the quick arrest of the first suspect in the murder of Ukrainian hiker Ivan Ivanon at East Fort, Chapman’s Peak Drive, in Hout Bay on Saturday 27 July 2019. At the time, Keri Cross, director of Community Crime Prevention (CCP) Hout Bay, explained that Buzzer was created for Hout Bay in co-operation with CCP and Watchcon. The first version of the app, which geolocates the exact point at where an incident has been reported, was launched in Hout Bay at the beginning of last year. Plans to roll out the app to other areas were first implemented in February.

Since then, Cross says, the app has been rolled out across most of Cape Town and in holiday and student towns in the Western and Eastern Cape, including Plettenberg Bay, Grahamstown and Kenton on Sea. “Buzzer is being adopted in universities and high schools too. Each area is different, in many areas the local security company that was already responding to community calls for help have taken on Buzzer as an easier and better option than the ‘noisy’ WhatsApp groups. In a few areas, the local neighbourhood watch (NHW) has implemented Buzzer. Three City improvement districts have taken the app for their residents. In a lot of the areas, more than one organisation is using Buzzer,” Cross adds.

As to why it was felt that Buzzer would be a good fit for the communities of Little Mow-

“The department will never call family members to deposit money into any account to facilitate the release or care of any inmate in DCS custody,” said Delekile Klaas, regional commissioner for the province.

DCS advised the public to report the fraudsters to the police when asked to pay. “The public is furthermore advised to seek clarity and confirmation of any call received by phoning the correctional centre, the area office or the regional office on landline numbers provided by Telkom directory services and not by the caller(s),” Klaas adds.

the controller immediately contacts the person who raised the alert as well as with an LMRID patrol vehicle or any other emergency department required. A signal is also sent to other Buzzer users in the direct vicinity.

Cross says they have seen an amazing decrease in crime and an increase in communication in the areas using the app.

“The areas that have seriously benefited from Buzzer are those where the local security, CID or, at a minimum, the neighbourhood watch was brought into Buzzer and are the admins. That being said, even if an area does not link in the local security it can still use Buzzer as long as more than 15 residents have downloaded it. We have seen it work, but not as well as when the local security is involved.”

The Buzzer app is free for residents to download from Google Play Store or App Store. “All we would need is the GPS coordinates of a new area and then you would need to get your neighbours to sign up and unlock your area. This unlock process is done to ensure there are enough people if someone calls for help,” Cross explains.

When asked what is next for Buzzer, Cross says future growth plans include rolling out across South Africa. “In fact, we are currently rolling out in parts of Namibia, the UK (United Kingdom) and the USA (United States of America) – so, who knows, maybe the world,” she says.

Cape blood service issues a call to arms

Offenders’ families duped The Department of Correctional Services (DCS) has issued a warning to the family members of offenders not to fall victim to a scam making the rounds.

In a statement released last week, DCS said that the Western Cape region management had noted with concern recent reports by families of offenders being called by people claiming to be DCS officials.

“These people call family members of offenders and tell them to deposit money either at Shoprite or Checkers or through a Capitec bank account using the cellular phone numbers they are calling from.

bray and Rosebank, Sivertsen explains that both the Little Mowbray and the Rosebank NHWs were running two separate security WhatsApp groups which was monitored by the LMRID control room in Mowbray.

“Our WhatsApp security groups had reached the maximum subscribers. We had numerous discussions on how we could improve our communication, quick responses from the control room and identify the exact location from where the alert was activated,” Sivertsen explains.

He says the Buzzer app offered all of this.

A steering committee was set up to drive the implementation of the app.

According to Sivertsen, each NHW is the custodian of its respective Buzzer zones.

“We are split into two separate zones but the control room monitors both zones, as does the operations manager, operations supervisor and the admins of the Buzzer groups. It links LMRID, both NHW’s and all other responders to receive alerts from nearby incidents, the exact location of the alerts, who is responding to the incident and where other responders are,” he says.

The app has two main functions – sending out an SOS for danger, a medical emergency or fires and reporting suspicious activities or persons, municipal faults, traffic alerts and snake spotting. It also has a test facility.

After an incident is reported, Buzzer sends an alert to the LMRID control room where

“Donating blood encourages you to live a responsible lifestyle,” says Ron Johnson, a blood donor who regularly makes a trip down to the Western Cape Blood Service (WCBS) at Blue Route Mall to do his part to save lives.

Johnson, who has been a regular donor for about two years, says it makes him feel good and costs him nothing to save up to three lives each time he donates.

Currently, Marike Gevers, public relations manager at WCBS, says there is a critical shortage in A+, B+ and O- blood supplies.

The blood service has launched a Call to Arms campaign, aimed at recruiting new donors. Requirements to donate include: . Being between the ages of 16 and 75; . weighing 50kg or more; . being in good health on the day of

donation; and . leading a safe sexual lifestyle.

Donors are also required to complete a lifestyle form before donating and take a blood pressure and iron test.

As part of the campaign, the WCBS is encouraging donors to take a selfie while donating blood and share it on social media and tag @TheWCBS, then challenge friends and family to do the same by tagging them too.

“Each existing blood donor who brings a successful new blood donor to a blood donation clinic during November, will receive a limited-edition Blood Buddy keyring,” read a WCBS statement.

Online book gets children’s ‘Oaky’ SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS @Samantha_lee121

A

n online book aimed at educating children about the coronavirus and how to stay safe under the current pandemic restrictions and protocols has been downloaded more than 5 000 times.

Created as part of the successful Oaky range, developed by Cape Town-based, nongovernmental organisation (NGO) Read to Rise co-directors Taryn Locke and her husband Athol Williams, Oaky and the Virus is a free-to-download online book that explains how life has had to change now that “a dangerous new virus has come to town”.

Through the adventures of its two characters, Oaky and Oaket, children learn the importance of social distancing, covering your face and thorough hand washing.

The book also comes with a catchy instructional song, which has become quite popular with more than 5 300 views on YouTube.

“A number of parents have posted videos of their children singing the Oaky Virus song from the book, which they sing while washing their hands. Parents say that the book is simple for children with cute illustrations and it helps them to read and understand how they can avoid the virus,” says Locke.

“I love working with children, they are our future. It is so important that we do all that we can for our children now so that our country’s future is brighter. To ensure that more South African children can read the story and learn from it, the book is also available in multiple languages.”

Roscoe Williams, Read to Rise project manager, says the book has already been translated into eight languages.

“Both the book and song have been shared widely in school, early childhood development (ECD) and community groups via WhatsApp and email and have been used as homework reading assignments and even a puppet show. Over 50 000 children have benefited,” says Roscoe.

“As it is an unknown pandemic that we are dealing with, our book and class visits have helped learners to understand what a virus is and how they can avoid it. During the lockdown period, we really needed to think outside of the box. We made some adjustments to our programme and came up with an Oaky care pack. It costs R100 to sponsor a child. The care pack consist of the Oaky and the Virus book, Oaky and the Virus activity book, face mask, juice, snack and hand soap,” says Roscoe.

The book has also been made available in hardcopy as part of a seven-book range.

The organisation focuses on reading and literacy development in primary schools, donating free books to schools in underprivileged areas.

“Our main focus is 45 primary schools in Mitchell’s Plain and 30 primary schools in Soweto. Over the past seven years, working in these areas, we have given out over 200 000 brand new books and (more than) 95 000 children have benefited,” says Roscoe.

The books are written and illustrated by Locke and Athol, the latter of whom is a renowned poet originally from Mitchell’s Plain.

To purchase a hardcopy book at R100, visit Read to Rise’s website. The full set of seven books retail at R600. Proceeds help fund the NGO’s literacy outreach initiatives.

Two Oceans Aquarium celebrates 25 years O

ne of Cape Town’s popular tourist attractions, the Two Oceans Aquarium, celebrated 25 years of existence on Friday 13 November.

The aquarium has reportedly welcomed more than 10 million visitors since its inception in 1995.

The aquarium is home to hundreds of aquatic animals and plants found along the Southern African coastline.

It showcases the rich diversity of life, some of which is found nowhere else in the world. It also exposes some of the negative human impacts on the ocean, such as plastic pollution and overfishing.

Michael Farquhar, chief executive officer of the aquarium, says the facility has grown into a “much-loved and well-respected” facility with conservation and education at its heart. He thanked the patrons for their support over the 25-year period.

Farquhar says the aquarium’s vision of “abundant and healthy oceans”, and its mission “to inspire action for the future well-being of our oceans” along with a strong education and conservation focus, drive this organisation.

In 2018 the aquarium established a Two Oceans Aquarium Education Foundation (NPO/PBO) to further facilitate and grow its education, conservation and research efforts. This work incorporates the

already well-established and respected marine science education programmes; the turtle rehabilitation programme, and the marine wildlife management programme.

The aquarium relies on income generated through footfall and other income streams such as functions and conferences.

As a result of the Covid-19 pandemic the aquarium has seen a massive decline in its visitor numbers and hopes this will change now that boarder restrictions have been lifted.

Having joined the Heritage Environmental Rating Programme in 2007, the aquarium is currently a

diamond member which is the highest ranking in the rating programme.

Last year, the aquarium won the Gold Award for “Best Responsible Attraction” at the African Responsible Tourism Awards at WTM, and also walked away with a Silver Award in the “Best for Global Goals Reporting” category.

Farquhar says whether it is through their exhibits, the aquarium Foundation, public talks or their informative website and social media networks, the aquarium will continue to strengthen its footing within Cape Town, South Africa and internationally.

Art exhibition gives artists a platform It’s not everyday that artworks from professional and amateur artists, children, and collectors are on display under one roof.

But that is exactly what the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa (Mocaa) was hoping to change with their exhibition titled Home Is Where the Art Is: Art Is Where the Home Is. The exhibition marks the reopening of the museum after a seven-month closure due to the nationwide lockdown.

It showcases around 2 000 artworks.

After an online entry period, the exhibition saw thousands of city residents make their way to drop-off points across the Peninsula to submit their entries.

The artwork submissions revealed five themes into which the exhibition has been arranged: The Garden which explores the life of plants, growth,

cultivation, and labour. Outside which encompasses landscape and public space. Inside which includes interiors, domestic space and inner psychological states. Time, which notes the march from moment to moment and abstract expressions and relations which celebrates interconnectedness, relationships and communities.

Koyo Kouoh, executive director and chief curator at the museum, says the exhibition amplifies their commitment to providing access for all.

“Art is in the eye of the beholder could be the translation of Home Is Where The Art Is. With no hierarchy or selection, this is an opportunity for us to find out what art means to our audience and by the same token, attempting to find out what a museum could stand for in current times.”

The art will be on show until Sunday 10 January next year.

ANIMAL WELFARE

‘Paws’ on volunteering to be lifted RACINE EDWARDES @RaeEdwardes

A

nimal lovers across the country have had to keep their hugs, cuddles and helping hands to themselves over the past seven months – since the end of March – with the SPCA putting a pause on volunteering activities as per lockdown regulations.

With volunteering forming a vital part of its daily activities, however, the Cape of Good Hope SPCA says it looks promising that volunteers may return in January next year.

Belinda Abraham, the SPCA’s communications, resource development and education manager, explains: “We don’t want to put anyone in harm’s way and for that reason, our volunteering is currently restricted to our regular volunteers who play an integral part in the day-to-day operations of our SPCA.” But, she adds, that with donor capacity dwindling and demand increasing, volunteering has never been more needed.

“We truly value the commitment of time from our volunteers who contribute in so many ways. Our volunteers are an integral part of not only maintaining high standards of animal care but also helping to carry the massive responsibility of caring and providing for between 300 to 500 animals on-site at any given time. Their contributions are invaluable in supporting staff, preventing burnout and saving costs too.”

So when the time comes next year for animal lovers to get back into it, you can assist and volunteer in the following ways: . Kennels: Socialising and exercising dogs, cleaning cages and bathing or grooming dogs. . Cattery: Cleaning litter trays, chang-

ing blankets and grooming cats and kittens. . The horse care unit: Mucking out stables and paddocks and grooming horses.

Some experience working with horses is a prerequisite to volunteering in this unit. . Events: Assistance at fundraising events such as the signature walk-a-thons, Wiggle Waggle and Woefie Wandel; book sales; money counting and photography.

Abraham adds: “We also need help with sorting and pricing of books for book sales and with counting the change in our collection tins that come in from various retail outlets around Cape Town.” . Creative contributions from volunteers that relate to fundraising strategy, marketing strategy or graphic design are always needed, says Abraham. . Maintenance: Volunteers with green fingers to assist with the SPCA’s gardens and ensure the grounds are always neat and tidy.

Before anyone can begin volunteering, they must attend one of the orientation sessions with potential volunteers to give them a better understanding of what it means to volunteer at the SPCA and enable them to make an informed decision before signing up.

“This information sharing session also helps interested parties to direct their efforts towards the department where they feel they will add the most value. Animal handling training is given to volunteers who are interested in working directly with our animals,” Abraham says.

The SPCA welcomes applications from anyone interested in serving the SPCA and its animals. And the tiny tots can get involved too, with the permission of parents and under supervision.

V For more information, email info@capespca.co.za or call 021 700 4140.

Even if you don’t have the capacity to adopt, you can help by volunteering at the SPCA.

Key road infrastructure Guard your personal information projects all on track Several projects aimed at relieving traffic congestion and ensuring the safety of residents and motorists have reached completion in recent weeks, with good progress being made on those still under way.

These include road construction in Heideveld, Kommetjie, Lansdowne and Ottery, and Masiphumelele.

“We are focusing on the projects that were implemented in each of the City of Cape Town’s transport districts across Cape Town so residents can have an idea of the progress right across the Metro,” said the Mayco member for transport, Felicity Purchase.

The Kommetjie Road project, which saw a R256 million upgrade of the roads over four years, was completed earlier this year. The project included the construction of walkways for pedestrians and the upgrade of Kommetjie Road and Ou Kaapse Weg to four-lane, dual-ways in some parts.

“In the southern district, some of our key projects over the past year include the Kommetjie and Jan Smuts Road project, both of which play a key role in our plans to alleviate traffic congestion in the South,” Purchase said.

The major road infrastructure project on Jan Smuts Drive commenced in 2018 and is nearing completion. It is being converted into a dual carriageway between the intersections of Turfhall Road (M24) and Govan Mbeki Road (M9), inclusive of two red bus lanes in the median. This project forms part of the roll-out of the MyCiTi bus service.

The northbound carriageway of the road has been completed and

the southbound is still in progress.

“Most recently I also had the opportunity to visit the project team in Heideveld where they are making great progress with the nonmotorised transport project for the area, something the Heideveld community can really look forward to,” Purchase added.

People’s Post recently reported on the Heideveld upgrades (“Concrete makeover under way”, 30 June) which sees a R38 million investment to improve roads. With work expected to be completed in May next year, the work entails the rehabilitation of old concrete roads, including the widening of some, and the construction of footways for safe passage for pedestrians.

“I am also pleased with how commuters and taxi operators in Masi are enjoying the newly built Masiphumelele public transport interchange facility we completed last year and with the great quality of work the team delivered on with the upgrade of Ottery Road,” said Purchase.

People’s Post reported on the opening of the rank on Friday 26 July (“Thousands to benefit from new taxi rank”, 30 July 2019) which saw an investment from the City of R16 million. About 65 mini-bus taxis operate from the rank.

The City completed its Ottery Road rehabilitation project in Philippi this year.

In total, the City invested R19.2 million in the project as these roads provide important links off Jakes Gerwel Drive and Govan Mbeki Drive to the Philippi horticultural and industrial areas.

Forgetting to erase the data stored by your car could be putting you at risk.

Modern cars are great. Not only are they more powerful, they come with a host of features to make them easier to drive and keep you entertained while doing so. The latest infotainment systems and connectivity technology enable handsfree calling, easy navigation and the ability to listen to your favourite road tripping music. Gone are the days of CDs lying around in your car.

But according to vehicle tracking company Tracker SA, there is a downside to having a connected car. These sophisticated infotainment systems accumulate as much sensitive digital information as any other smart device, like a smartphone. This can include contact names and numbers, account user names and passwords, home, office and other addresses, and frequently travelled routes.

When you sell or trade-in your car, you could be leaving this information behind for a stranger to access, thereby putting your privacy and security at risk. Your navigation information in the wrong hands could be setting you up for a dangerous situation. For instance, information regarding your home address and frequent destinations could be used by a criminal to locate your car for hijacking or theft.

It’s quite possibly not something you have considered, but you need to treat your car the same way you would treat an old computer, smartphone or tablet before parting with it. While you are clearing out your personal items, also take the time to clear out your personal information.

Be sure to clear your contacts and call history from your car radio.

PHOTO: SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS

Here are some considerations and the steps you can take to erase the personal data stored by your car before you part ways: . Remove all Bluetooth pairings: Unpair your phone and any other devices you might have connected to the car via Bluetooth.

When you unpair a phone it will typically remove the contacts, call history and other personal data with it. However, if not: . Delete contact history: Go through the menu options to remove contact names and numbers, call history and text messages.

This could be a little different for each vehicle make and model, therefore consult your owner’s manual to check how to do this. . Clear addresses: The navigation system has most likely stored your home and office address, as

well as other frequently visited destinations and the routes that you travel regularly. These systems often have a menu option to clear personal data or recent destinations. . Log out of mobile apps: Log out of all the mobile apps that are included in the car or that pair with an app on your smartphone. . Disengage the garage door opener: Imagine the new owner of your car had the means to open your garage door by the touch of a button. Along with the knowledge of your home address, they could easily invite themselves over for a visit. Removing the code programmed into your car for opening your garage door is often as simple as pushing two buttons at once for a few seconds. Once again, consult your owner’s manual for specifications. . Lastly, make sure that you cancel or transfer any subscription services that your car is connected to.

Of course, a quick way to remove all personalised data from a car is to restore it to factory settings. But keep in mind that this will erase everything that you have ever customised, including seat set-up preferences, lighting profiles and radio pre-sets.

“Modern vehicle infotainment systems store as much data as a computer or smartphone, and you could be putting your security at risk if you forget to erase your personal information when you sell or upgrade your car,” says Ron KnottCraig, executive of operational services at Tracker SA. “Take the time to go through the car’s menu and delete the data stored by the system to keep you and your loved ones safe.”

PEOPLE'S POST Tuesday, 17 November 2020

Return to training W

estern Province Club Rugby circles are engaging on various methods of return to training, which has been set provisionally for the new year.

“This week saw us meet with our various leagues again to discuss the return to training options as per the Covid-19 regulations. This is not an easy process, but compliance and the health and safety of our members will always be our top priority,” says manager of WP Amateur Rugby Danny Jones.

SA Rugby and government regulations require that each club must have a compliance officer, which has resulted in the union embarking on a Covid-19 awareness and education process, which includes the adoption of World Rugby’s free Covid-19 awareness course. The course carries a certification.

“We understand that documentation is a major factor for return to training and as such we are constructing various online solutions which will help the clubs to get their

players back on the park in a safe manner.

“With these elements in place, we should see our players training on the field in an isolated manner with masks and sanitisation protocols in place,” Jones says.

Following the completion of the SA Rugby u.21 tournament last week, the junior format has now changed to u.20, which will see coach Jerome Paarwater commencing benchmark testing at the highperformance centre next week.

“Players will receive programmes relating to strength and conditioning applicable to homebased preparation.

“We are very happy to see that several of these players come from our club rugby ranks and have already gained some experience playing in the u.21 championships,” he says, adding that this week sees the start of World Rugby Fifteens level one coaching course at Newlands, with the next course on Friday 20 November.

“We are working hard on the rollout of our WP women’s rugby highperformance coaches development programme.

“The programme will run for a three-year cycle aiming to capacitate female talent in rugby coaching from beginner school and club rugby coaches to elite school, club, junior and senior provincial coaches,” says Paarwater.

He adds that schools and universities with women rugby teams and senior women’s rugby clubs were invited to nominate potential people to participate in the programme.

“I remind our members that the health and safety of our members is our first priority, and in order for us to move forward with a continued approach to follow protocols, the education of our members is currently a priority, and that our members must not delay in undergoing the online World Rugby Covid awareness course.”

Blue for Rondebosch runners T

he third Friday 5K Pop Up will take place at Rondebosch Common on Friday 20 November.

The colour of the day will be blue, Consisting of four bi-weekly 5km runs that will start and finish at a designated venue, each pop-up run is limited to 70 runners (per city), to adhere to government regulations, with the first 50 entries (per run and city) receiving a limited-edition Run Your City Series (RYCS) t-shirt.

On Friday, runners will receive a funky blue t-shirt.

Runners who complete all four runs stand

a chance to win their share in spectacular sponsor prizes.

“I’m not sure who is looking forward to the Friday 5K Pop Up Run number three the most; our event team or the RYCS community,” says Michael Meyer, managing director of Stillwater Sports, organisers of the event.

“The Friday 5K Pop Up Run campaign has allowed us to interact with the running community while adhering to government regulations for the exercise, of course. The first two runs were extremely well supported. We look forward to continuing the trend at this coming Friday’s event. Remember this

week’s colour theme is blue.”

“We realise that the pop-up runs tend to reach capacity quickly, for that reason there is a virtual option for runners that could not sign up in time or that cannot make it to the designated venue on the day,” continues Meyer.

“These runners can run anywhere, take photographs and share them to social media.

They won’t receive the RYCS t-shirt, but they will be eligible to win sponsor prizes.”

Timing and Results: . Runners can track their run either with a sports watch, fitness tracker, their mobile

phones or Strava. After completing the third Friday 5K Pop Up Run, runners must go to the RYCS social media platforms. There will be results in a link through which runners can manually upload their results. . Results will sit in a national leaderboard (per run) on www.runyourcityseries.com V Entry is free, but you do need to sign up via the following link: Cape Town: https://entries.thecapetown12.com/events/76308-friday-2011-cpt.

Epic duels mark penultimate round in Killarney’s Power Series Round 6 of Power Series racing, presented

by Wingfield Motors and Kfm 94.5 at Killarney International Raceway on Saturday 14 November, delivered the closest and most exciting racing of the season so far, with a number of red-flag incidents as some of the drivers tried a little too hard at this, the penultimate round of the year’s series.

The headline Mike’s Place Clubmans Saloons races were both won by Brennon Green, whose Weskaap Bakwerke Golf is fast developing a reputation for punching above its weight in a field dominated by BMW 3 Series “sixes”.

He was followed home in Race 1 by Rafiek “Fiekie” Pather, Cody Alberts and Sulaiman Effendi.

Shane Smith took Class C line honours, with Daanyaal Coetzee at the front of Class D and Ryan Large heading Class E, just 1.374sec ahead of Ciara van Niekerk.

Class F competitor Nieyaaz Modack ran as high as second in the early stages and finished an astonishing seventh overall, which would have placed him third in Class B. Marco Busi took a hard-fought Race 1 in the Cheaper Cars Gti Challenge by less than half a second from Jason Coetzee’s Mint Golf GTi and Charl Visser in the Charl Electrical Polo 6 after early challenger Jurie Swart got it all wrong on lap four and dropped back from second to fifth behind Mario Roux.

Eden Thompson led Class B in sixth overall, with Calvin Wiltshire in 12th overall at

Franco Scribante (8) in the Scribante Racing Porsche 997 and Steve Humble (91) in the 3.4-litre Judd V8 powered Harp Motorsport Pilbeam MP91 lead the Sports and GT field into Kfm Corner.

PHOTO: FUNKY FRANKY PETERSEN the head of a five-car Class C train, all of whom finished within little more than a second after the dice of the race.

Class C delivered another cracker as Kyle Wiltshire beat brother Calvin for the class win by just 0.162sec, with Colin Smith, Marc Thompson, Wayne Field, Chris Roberts, and John-Henri Vaughn all finishing within five seconds of the Wiltshire brothers of eight laps of door-handle-to-door-handle racing.

A true clash of the titans between international star David “McFlash” McFadden on the StuntSA/RPM Centre R1 and rising hotshot Kewyn Snyman’s Missile Motorcycles ZX-10R saw them swapping places on almost

every lap of both RST Suzuki South Superbike races.

Nevertheless, it soon became apparent that Snyman had a small but crucial power advantage, enabling him to keep McFadden (just) behind him when it mattered. McFlash refused to give up, however, diving inside Snyman going into the final corner of Race 1 and coming out with a two bike-length advantage, on his way to posting the fastest two-wheeled lap of the day, a blistering 1min11.867sec – only for Snyman to slingshot past onto the final straight and take the race win by 0.022sec.

The first V8 Masters and Makita Formula

Supercars race started with a bang – a fourcar collision in G-Energy Corner that took out Mark Ridgeway, Rob Warrington, Alister Brown and Roderick Simpson, and brought out the red flags.

Richard Schreuder grabbed the lead at the restart, ahead of Silver Class leader Jason Ibbotson and Rui Campos. By lap three however, Campos had moved up to second, and he passed Schreuder two laps later for a wellearned win, while Sean Moore put in a superb late charge to blitz Ibbotson and finish just 0.001sec behind Schreuder, and Ryan McCarthy, Hilton Pieters and Glen Phillips led the way in the Formula Supoercar category.

Moore continued his charge to glory in Race 2, leading from lights to flag from Campos, Schreuder and Fabio Tafani, while Pieters, Andrew Moffitt and Phillips delivered an exciting scrap for Supercar line honours, finishing in that order after McCarthy went out on lap two.

The expected clash in Sports and GT between master tuner Steve Humble in the Judd 3.4-litre V8 powered Harp Pilbeam MP91 and visitor Franco Scribante’s Porsche 997 produced superb racing and nearrecord lap times. Humble got a poor start in Race 1 (due to cold tyres, he said) as Scribante and Marcel Angel set the pace, but moved up to take the lead on lap four. The finishing order was Humble, Scribante, Marcel Angel and Dayne Angel.
