Learners and staff from the four campus schools X Wynberg Girls’ Junior School, Wynberg Boys’ Junior School, Wynberg Girls’ High School (WGHS), and Wynberg Boys’ High School (WBHS), spell out the word ‘stop’ on the school grounds.
WYNBERG
Pledging to stop GBV NETTALIE VILJOEN
T
he Wynberg Campus of Schools gathered to show their support for putting a stop to violence against women and children on Thursday 5 September. The four campus schools X Wynberg Girls’ Junior School, Wynberg Boys’ Junior School, Wynberg Girls’ High School (WGHS), and Wynberg Boys’ High School (WBHS) X attended a joint assembly to show solidarity against gender-based violence (GBV). Staff and learners, wearing all black, stood together to spell out the word “stop” on the school grounds and to observe a minute of silence in remembrance of victims.
Head students of both the high schools readout pledges on behalf of all of the learners to show their shared commitment to the #ItStartsWithMe movement. “Where there is injustice of any form, we pledge to right it with justice, without violence. Where there is hatred, intolerance or discrimination, we pledge to work for acceptance and harmony. Where there is abuse of women, children or anyone unable to speak out, we pledge to give them a voice,” said Dillon Sibanda, head prefect at WBHS. FemSoc, a society at WGHS which focuses on protecting women’s rights, called a meeting the next day to draw up a plan to further drive the Campus of Schools’ collective ac-
tion against gender-based violence. Among the resolutions made at the meeting, was the learners’ refusal to remain silent about demeaning treatment, language and behaviour by men against woman. The spokesperson for FemSoc, Zahra Noordien, Grade 11, said society members had resolved to support each other in countering behaviour, language and “jokes” which contribute to the problem. They undertook to participate in programmes to educate others and to increase their own understanding by having conversations, listening attentively and reading widely. The plan to create ‘a wall of remembrance’

nown dotingly as Ma Sally by all the lives she has touched through her altruistic nature, Sarah Dantu (80) is one of the six finalists being honoured at the Community Champions Elders Awards. Ma Sally from Belhar is one of three finalists nominated in the 80+ category of the awards presented by People’s Post, TygerBurger and City Vision in partnership with Spec-Savers. She hand-knits jerseys and delivers them to schools where she feels there is a need. “I do it out of love, nothing else,” says Ma Sally. “I don’t ask, I knit the jerseys. When it’s cold I think ‘Oh, there’s a child with a jersey on’.” Ma Sally, who is a retired domestic assistant, says knitting is therapeutic to her. “For me, it’s like a therapy. It keeps my brain working.” Ma Sally, who grew up in the countryside of Groot Drankenstein, moved to Cape Town at the age of 17 following her parents’ divorce in the late 1950s. “I had to leave school to go work before completing my senior certificate. Then I came to Cape Town in my early years and started working as a domestic servant un-

til I got married to my husband,” she says. “18 January 1969,” her husband Joseph adds to the conversation. According to Ma Sally, she had a relatively stable life from then. “I had a place to stay in District 6. We lived there for 10 years, in a room. Then we bought this little house and we’re still here, for 40 years.” Ma Sally and Joseph have two daughters: José Franz who is deputy vice-chancellor of the University of the Western Cape, and Deirdre Spandiel, an occupational therapist in George. Ma Sally says, she gave up working as a domestic assistant 30 years ago when her first grandchild, Jody, was born so that José could return to her studies. “That’s when I carried on with my love for knitting,” says Ma Sally, who believes that those whom she knits for don’t have to know where the jerseys come from. She says there is no greater feeling than being able to continue serving the world. “Like I say, it’s like a therapy,” explains Even though Ma Sally prefers knitting in plain Ma Sally. “Knowing that I can do good at wool for schools she supplies from the this age is a feeling money can’t buy.” goodness of her heart, her talent and meditaMa Sally is regarded as a high mother tive concentration skills are visible in the figure in The Shining Light social comjumpers she knitted for herself and her munity group she belongs to.

dren and grandchildren to continue the tradition of serving their communities. “I thank God that my children and grandchildren are giving,” Ma Sally says. “I wrote this morning in my memory book that it’s all by God’s grace, nothing else. We have nothing without God’s grace.” Despite having five grandchildren, Ma Sally says she does not knit for her grandchildren’s school. “I don’t knit for a school where my grandchildren go, because their parents can afford. I am knitting for schools where there is a need.” Ma Sally says she prefers good quality wool and ensures to always source wool accordingly. “I always buy the best wool. When you do something for the Lord, you give your best – that’s my belief.” She was nominated for a Community Champions Elders Award by Parkvale Primary through one of the school’s regular volunteer assistants, Rhonda Arendse. “Ma Sally is a loving, caring, wingless angel,” Arendse wrote in the nomination. “Every year she hand-knits jerseys for the needy learners at our school, all this done at no cost.” She produces eight to 10 jerseys at a time for learners, which she distributes freely and at no cost through Arendse.

HOUT BAY
Buzzer rings in new era of safety NETTALIE VILJOEN
T
he murder of Ukrainian hiker Ivan Ivanon at East Fort, Chapman’s Peak Drive, in Hout Bay on Saturday 27 July shook the world. Many sighed in relief when the first suspect in the case was apprehended later that same day, but few knew that it was an app that had lead to the quick arrest. Keri Cross, director of community crime prevention (CCP) Hout Bay, says a report came through to the Buzzer Community Safety app shortly after the robbery. It read that three men were seen running down Chapman’s Peak Drive. Cross explains: “Our operations manager JJ De Villiers, tech manager Jarryd Shotlz and CCP volunteer Bradley Brown responded to the incident and coordinated the arrest of the first suspect and handed him over to the police.” Launched at the beginning of this year, Buzzer was created for Hout Bay in cooperation with CCP and Watchcon. The free app, available from Google Paly Stor or App Store, geolocates the exact point at where an incident has been reported. “It works very well, especially in the informal settlement Imizamo Yethu where usually there aren’t actual addresses listed.” The app’s inception is rooted in a partnership between Cross and Jessica Boonstra which began three and a half years ago. Cross had just founded Hout Bay CCP. By setting up a closed-camera network and an effective communication “triangle” between the reporter (residents), the responders (residents or professionals) and the monitor (coordinator), CCP was making huge strides in reducing crime in the area. Boonstra had recently moved to Hout Bay from the Netherlands. With a background in
engineering and online tech, she was curious about how crime response and communication worked here. She learnt about Cross and the great work CCP was doing and wanted to meet her. Together they undertook to improve communication further. “None of the existing security apps or systems allowed for communities to work with professionals to share and resolve incidents,” says Boonstra. The duo organised a workshop with representatives from Hout Bay communities to brainstorm ideas. The result was a blueprint for what would later become Buzzer. “We wanted to make it as simple, low threshold and affordable as a neighbourhood WhatsApp group; only smarter, faster and better structured,” she says. An Israeli company with experience in security-tech built the technology. The app’s home screen has an SOS button and a report button. When you press a button, a signal is sent to other Buzzer users in your direct vicinity (and to the local control room, if connected). Users can choose to “opt in to help”. They then become visible on the map and can join in on the chat for that particular incident. Boonstra says they have started talking to other areas who are considering implementing Buzzer through a controlled roll-out. For it to be activated in a new area, the following is needed: the GPS coordinates of the area (‘geofence’); a local control room/ armed response company equipped with the required monitoring software; a local community superuser/admin (much like a WhatsApp manager/ moderator). The monthly fee for the licenses of the monitoring and superuser software is less than R1 per user per month. V For more information, visit www.Buzzer-app.com

DIEP RIVER
Open day at Victim Friendly Facility D
iep River police station’s Victim Friendly Facility (VFF) is hosting a National Victim Friendly Week until Friday 20 September. The campaign kicked off on Monday 16 September. As part of the week, VFF will host an open day at the station on Thursday 19 September from 14:00 to 18:00 to promote the services offered. Members of the public are invited to meet and engage with VFF coordinator, Const Christine Naidoo; VFF trauma support workers as well as the Diep River community police forum (CPF). The police station has also appealed to the
community for additional trauma support workers at the facility. Const Zak Marais, the spokesperson of Diep River police station, says the police are the initial point of entry to the criminal justice system in the majority of cases, and is responsible for ensuring that victims of crime, especially sexual offences and other serious and violent crimes, are provided with a victim-friendly service. “VFF aims to protect the dignity and rights of victims and to ensure that they are not subjected to secondary victimisation by the inefficiency of the members of the criminal justice system,” Marais says.

Climb in sexual offences a concern NETTALIE VILJOEN
N
ational crime statistics for the 2018/2019 year released last week revealed a worrying climb in total sexual offence cases. Cases reported at Wynberg police station increased by 104%, at Kirstenhof police station by 33.3%, at Diep River police station by 31.3% and Hout Bay police station by 11.1%.

Despite last year’s promises from police minister Bheki Cele and the service he leads, violent crime in the Western Cape remains effectively unchanged, that is according to a statement from premier Alan Winde’s office. He was commenting on the latest crime statistics. They were released on Thursday 12 September, covering the period between April 2018 and March 2019. “I’m deeply concerned that murder increased by 6.6% in the Western Cape. Of these, 47% of incidents occurred in just 10 police stations. The murder to population ratio in the Western Cape is 60 per 100 000 – almost double the national average,” he said. Provincial minister for community safety Albert Fritz also expressed his concern. “Murders reported in the Western Cape account for 18.9% of all murders in the country, while the province only accounts for 11.6% of the population. A total of 11 Western Cape police stations are recorded among the top 30 in the country. This is unacceptable and points to the need for more boots on the
ground and more regular statistics. Police need to adopt evidence-based policing, which would lead to deployment at key times in key hotspot locations. We need our police to be in these hotspots before crimes are committed, not after,” he said. Winde referred to last week’s solidarity protests which saw thousands of people standing up against gender-based violence: “We’ve seen communities impacted by gang violence saying ‘enough’. But when asked about whether heads would roll, minister Bheki Cele said he didn’t believe they should, implying he finds this situation acceptable. President Cyril Ramaphosa and minister Cele should not find the crime situation in this province acceptable at all.” He said as a province they cannot wait for the police to get its house in order. Fritz said his department will conduct an indepth analysis of the stats to look at specific trends. “Police management has a lot to answer for, and it is my hope that they will be held accountable for their failure to ensure that the people of this country are safe.”

he Lilliput Children’s Theatre Company will be performing one of its most popular shows to date – Goldilocks and the Three Bears – during the September school holidays. The show will run from Monday 23 September to Saturday 28 September at 10:30 and will be staged at the Nassau Theatre Centre, on the grounds of Groote Schuur High School, Palmyra Road in Newlands. Goldilocks and the Three Bears follows the adventure of Goldilocks in the forest before her birthday. Her grandfather is organising a birthday party for her.

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

NATIONAL BRAAI DAY
More than meats the eye NETTALIE VILJOEN
Jason Allen, owner of The Hussar Grill in Steenberg, shows how to make a bearnaise sauce at the Steak Masterclass at Silwood School of Cookery.PHOTO:
T
uesday 24 September is Heritage Day, aka Braai Day; and yes, while salads, sauces and braai broodjies are indispensable supporting acts, for most, the star attraction will be the meat. Jason Allen, the owner of The Hussar Grill in Steenberg, says no matter which cuts you buy or where you shop, meat is expensive. So when you do buy, make sure you buy the best and don’t waste your money by overbraaing it. People’s Post recently joined Allen at the Silwood School of Cookery in Rondebosch for a Steak Masterclass where he shared advice on how to do exactly that. Firstly, he says, don’t deviate from quality and always buy fresh. “Unless you have a long-standing relationship with your butcher, stay away from prepacked marinated meat,” he says. Jason also recommends that you rather buy your meat from a butcher than a supermarket. “The problem with buying meat from big chain stores is that you are not always sure what you are buying.” He explains that besides the grade of meat,

you also have to take into consideration the beef’s breed and if it was grain- or grass-fed. A booklet handed out at the masterclass says South Africa produces 85% of its own beef with the rest being imported. “At Husser Grill, we serve A-grade, grainfed Angus beef. If you want flavour, buy meat

with marbling, or better still, meat that is still on the bone. But be careful not to mistake marbling for sinew. Fat has a slightly yellow tinge to it while sinew has a shiny, white colour,” he says. Allen says there is nothing worse than chewing and chewing on a piece of sinew. “Simply remove the lining of sinew by sliding a sharp knife under it. There is no need to dig into the meat, the sinew usually cuts away quite easily.” The tenderness of the meat has a lot to do with the muscle it is cut from X the work the muscle does and the rate it does it at. Meat cut from the shin, leg and cheek, for instance, do a lot of work and need slow, long cooking. Rump, the most popular steak in South Africa, is cut from the hindquarter which needs to be matured. It has a layer of fat that provides extra flavour. Fillet does little or no work. It can be

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

Locals fill Cape Town streets A
frica’s only IAAF Gold Label status marathon delivered once again as Kenya’s Edwin Koech won this year’s Sanlam Cape Town Marathon in 2:09.20. In near perfect conditions for the 13 500 runners who lined up for the 42km course, it was Koech who proved too strong for the fifth successive year, as he swept a stellar field that included Daniel Muteti, Mohamed Ziani and South Africa’s Elroy Galant, breaking away in the final kilometre. Koech defeated Muteti who was the official pacemaker by five seconds. Mohamed Ziani rounded out the podium (2:09.29). Elroy Gelant in only his second marathon was fourth in a time of 2:10.31 to also claim the South African title. Celestine Chepchirchir smashed the course record of Helalia Johannes, clocking 2:26.44. That is just under 3 minutes faster than the record set in 2018 (2:29.28). Nurit Shimels Yimam was second (2:27.40), and Gete Mindaye Tilahun came home in third (2:28.32). All three were inside the previous course record. Cornelia Joubert claimed the SA Marathon title. In the ever-popular 10km Peace Run, which drew as many as 8 500 runners, Precious Mashele put in a sublime performance as he came flying home to defend his title in a time of 28:36.

Elana Africa-Bredekamp with Elana van Zyl-Meyer at the start of the 10km. Mashele surged away at the 6km mark. Mashele held off a fast finishing Mbuleli Mathanga (28:40) with Desmond Mokgobu a further 8 seconds behind. Zimbabwe’s Fortunate Chidzivo took the race by the scruff of the neck, surging into the lead from the gun. Chidzivo clocked a new National Zimbabwean record of 32:26,
improving her best from 33:49 and breaking the previous course record set by Irvette van Zyl of 32:49 in last year’s race. Kesa Molotsane took second place (33:30) and Rutendo Nyahora was third (33:50). South Africans are finding a love for the 10km race distance, as some 8 500 runners lined up for the 2019 10km Peace Run..
