The mural on the corner of Byrnes Avenue and Ottery Road formed part of the #TrashtagWynberg project spearheaded by the Wynberg East Neighbourhood Watch.

hile the negative effects of the national lockdown due to the Covid-19 pandemic have been many, one positive outcome is that it forced residents to take stock of their home surroundings. The Wynberg East Neighbourhood Watch (WENW) hopes this new awareness among residents will lead to greater community involvement. This theory will be tested on Sunday 28 November when the NHW starts up its #TrashtagWynberg project again. According to Nadia Hassen, a member of the WENW, the interest shown in the notification sent out via various neighbourhood WhatsApp groups, announcing the next clean-up event, has been far greater than when the project was first launched lastyear August. “With people having been stuck at home, they had more time to see how Wynberg East has deteriorated. It has forced them to open
their eyes and see that the area isn’t how it used to be,” Hassen says. The WENW took up the #trashtag challenge, which trended on social media last year. Hassen explains that the WENW’s decision to get involved in the cleaning up of the neighbourhood followed on one of the principles that they learnt during their neighbourhood watch training – the broken window theory. It states that visible signs of disorder and misbehaviour in an environment encourage further disorder and misbehaviour, leading to serious crimes. “So building on from that, if an area looks well-kept, if it is clear that residents do care, it will be less appealing to criminals,” Hassen explains. Besides cleaning-up streets every second Sunday up until the lockdown, the #TrashtagWynberg project also gave a makeover to a parking area located on the corner of Byrnes Avenue and Ottery Road. Salwa Beukes, chair of WENW, explains that the parking area is meant for people who take the train from Wynberg train station. But instead, she says, it was being used

made from recycled bottles were also installed to give the area a facelift. “We just wanted to make it look like a place that people could take pride in,” she adds. Beukes says taxis still sometimes park there but not as frequently as before. She adds that there have also been some incidents of vandalism. While the lockdown made it difficult to maintain the area, Beukes says they are now again patrolling the area and fixing it up when needed. “We are always asking the community to get involved and we hope that they will next Sunday,” says Beukes. Hassen says they will be tackling Ottery Road next. “We have been given some equipment from our ward (63) councillor, Monty Oliver, and the City’s cleaning department,” she adds. Those who would like to participate in the clean-up can bring along an extra pair of gardening gloves if they have, water to drink and their face masks.

by taxi drivers and gamblers. “They would leave the place in a state – litter strewn everywhere. They would urinate and defecate there,” Beukes says. She says the perimeter walls of the blocks of flats, which border the little nook, were also in need of a coat of paint. Breaking the work up into two phases, the WENW team first focused on ridding this area of litter. Beukes explains they would go there every second Sunday until the number of bags collected each time had diminished from 20 to three. The City of Cape Town was also asked to put up three new signs, clearly indicating that taxis weren’t allowed to park there. Next, the team began painting the perimeter walls of the bordering flats. “We were decorating one of the walls with our handprints in paint when we realised that we should try to put up a mural. It is then that one of our residents suggested that her son, Mohamed Hassan, a local graphic designer and mural artist, could help out, free of charge.” White- and yellow-painted tyres filled with plants and complete with water features

People’s Post journalist Samantha Lee-Jacobs PHOTO: JUSTIN JACOBS
eople’s Post journalist Samantha Lee-Jacobs (28) has bagged the national award in the opinions category at the 2020 Vodacom Journalist of the Year awards (VJOY’s). The awards ceremony was held virtually on Friday 20 November where Lee-Jacobs represented the Western Cape region after winning the regional opinion category award at the regional virtual awards ceremony on Wednesday 11 November. The awards seek to recognise journalism excellence in the country across 12 categories. In its 19th year, the competition received a record number of 1 300 entries. Lee-Jacobs’s win was accredited to three columns published in both People’s Post (“Please just stop asking ‘when’ ”, “Breaking silence”) and TygerBurger (“Think twice before driving drunk”). The judges’ citation is: “Entries in this category covered many issues, mainly political but also the economy, sports and even religion. Many of these entries – while being well-written – offered views that were common in society and did not bring anything fresh to the debate at either a national or provincial level. Our national winner displayed a skill taking seemingly small issues and relating them to some of society’s important concerns such as sexual assault, peer pressure and drunk
driving.” Lee-Jacobs says: “In writing these columns, I was able to share a bit of myself, my personal life and my own experiences with some of society’s social ills with our readers. This was also the first time I had ever spoken out about a personal encounter with sexual assault which empowered me to help others. As community journalists, we have a special role to play in connecting with readers, while sharing news and views that matter. Having won awards for telling people’s inspiring stories before, it was especially amazing and a great honour to be awarded for the vulnerability in sharing my own story.” Thulani Magazi, People’s Post editor, praised Lee-Jacobs for the achievement. “Well done, Sammy. This wonderful accomplishment is an excellent stamp of approval on what community journalism is all about. You have consistently showed and proved that community journalism is truly alive by regularly collecting awards,” says Magazi. “Walking away with a national award against some of the country’s finest writers and newspapers is a huge achievement. We are truly proud of your achievement as it not only puts your name on the South African media landscape, but our beloved People’s Post too. Congratulations! Continue doing what you do best and love most.”

Schools go green T
he compounding effects of urbanisation on biodiversity as well as the inaccessibility of green spaces and their associated ecosystem services has motivated Greenpop to expand its Urban Greening programme to include the conservation of fynbos and other indigenous flora in Cape Town. Founded in 2010, Greenpop works to restore ecosystems and empower environmental stewards through reforestation, urban greening, sustainable development, and environmental art projects across subSaharan Africa. The organisation has, since its inception, planted over 136 000 trees and inspired over 150 000 active citizens across South Africa, Zambia, Malawi and Tanzania. Now, its Fynbos for the Future programme aims to inspire a green urban future where biodiversity is accessible, valued and protected by an active, engaged and inspired citizenry through community-oriented urban nature conservation. To achieve this, the programme creates interactive fynbos learning spaces in under-greened schools and has implemented a three-year programme engaging learners and communities in the effective management and conservation of fynbos. As part of its Fynbos programme, Greenpop is working with 10 under-resourced schools to plant water-wise fynbos gardens. These gardens will have many benefits, including: . Helping to reconnect urban biodiversity corridors. . Instilling a love of nature in learners. . Creating green space for learners. . Creating empowered environmental stewards. . Promoting water-wise practices, and . Encouraging active community en-
Greenpop has been turning urban spaces into green spaces at schools across Cape Town. PHOTO: GREENPOP/FACEBOOK gagement. In addition, the installation of fynbos gardens will provide numerous ecological benefits. Planting indigenous modular gardens (vertical gardens to make use of limited space) will help stabilise the soil and limit erosion; provide habitat to a wide variety of native fauna; increase biodiversity and thus resilience to environmental changes; provide habitat for pollinators, thus securing food resources; and act as air and water filtration, among others. Schools that form part of the programme include, among others, Mountain Road Primary School in Woodstock, Trafalgar High School in District Six, Strandfontein Primary School in Strandfontein, Vulamasango Child and Youth Facility and Sinethemba High School in Philippi, Alicedale Primary School and Cypress Primary School in Athlone, and Highlands Primary School in Woodlands.

Lock it down
Ways to prevent undue dog bites E
very three days, a child is treated for serious dog bites. In 2019, 101 children were treated for dog bites and these children were between the ages of five and 12 years. So says ChildSafe, an injury prevention unit based at the Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital. The non-profit organisation (NPO) is encouraging all parents and dog owners to be aware of the risks involved with dog bites. “Dog bites often happen during everyday activities among children and seniors,” says Yolande Baker, executive director, ChildSafe. ChildSafe advises that people be cautious around strange dogs and treat personal dogs with respect. Tips for parents and caregivers: . Never leave a baby or small child alone with a dog. . Be alert for potentially dangerous situations. . Teach children, including toddlers, to be careful around pets. . Children must learn not to approach strange dogs or try to pet dogs through fences. . Teach children to ask permission from the dog’s owner before petting the dog. There are also steps dog owners can take. Some of these are carefully selecting your pet – puppies should not be obtained on impulse – and making sure your pet is socialised as a young puppy so it feels at ease around people and other animals. Also train your dog. Basic commands help dogs understand what is expected of them and help build a bond of trust between pets and people.
Other tips for dog owners include: . Don’t put your dog in a position where it feels threatened or teased. . Be calm. Always talk in a quiet voice or whisper, no shouting. . Walk and exercise your dog regularly to keep it healthy and provide mental stimulation. . Avoid highly excitable games like wrestling or tug of war. . Use a leash in public to ensure you are able to control your dog. . Keep your dog healthy. . Have your dog vaccinated to safeguard it against rabies and other preventable infectious diseases. . Parasite control and other health care is important because how your dog feels affects how it behaves. . If you have a fenced yard, make sure your gates are secure. . Neuter your pet. Approximately 92% of fatal dog attacks involved male dogs, 94% of which were not neutered. If you are bitten, here is a checklist of things you should do: . If the dog’s owner is present, request proof of rabies vaccination, and get the owner’s name and contact information. . Clean the bite wound with soap and water as soon as possible. . Consult your doctor immediately or go to the emergency room if it is after office hours. . Contact the dog’s veterinarian to check vaccination records. V For more information on prevention of dog bites, call ChildSafe on 021 685 5208 or visit www.childsafe.org.za.

Mother relates how she survived the pandemic A
mother has sent a heartfelt appreciation to front line workers in the Western Cape after beating Covid-19. When Natheera Hermans tested positive for the Coronavirus she feared for the well-being of her children, mother and elderly grandfather, whom she shares a two-bedroom home with. The mother of two says nothing could have prepared her for receiving the news of a positive test result. “I told myself, no . . . it can’t be the Coronavirus. I kept on having positive thoughts. I told myself they just wanted to rule it out, that is why they tested me. I wasn’t prepared to tell my kids, and I wasn’t prepared myself. I have two children and elderly parents with chronic medical conditions at home and I was so afraid that I would infect them and jeopardise their health.” Natheera felt ill on Sunday 23 August, and used over-the counter medication. But two days later she struggled to breathe and knew she had to visit her doctor, as she was also was diagnosed with asthma. Her doctor took no chances and referred her to Natheera Hermans has survived Covid-19.

“I want to say thank you to every single person from the site managers to nurses on duty, security and cleaners. You guys are amazing, and I thank God for sending me here because I was able to rest stress-free and was well taken care of. No words can describe the gratitude I have for your kindness and generosity.” When she struggled to switch off from work while recovering, words of encouragement from front line workers eased her mind. The mother was discharged from the facility on Friday 4 September and couldn’t hold back her tears as she saw her children for the first time in 10 days. “When I saw my kids again, I remembered this was the first time we were away from each other. I was very emotional. I was actually overwhelmed. Tears rolled down my face. They shouted: ‘Mommy, mommy.’ I could not wait to get out of the taxi. I dropped my bags and they ran to me.” It was her family and positive thinking that kept her motivated during her recovery. “I have had so many opportunities to stay positive. I had reasons to give up, but I never did. Life will throw curveballs, but you can make the best of it. I thought I was not going to make it; my immune system was compromised from day one because I had been sick. I had underlying conditions. But I want to say this, remain positive. Think about all the things that motivate you, like wanting to see your family.” With social distancing in place, she was able to see her fiancé and one of her daughters through a window visit. “My fiancé visited from outside the window; they (staff) guided the visit. It was very nice.” She encourages the public to remain vigilant as the world continues the battle against the virus. “Take the virus seriously. Prepare yourself should it happen to you. Take good care of yourself and your body. Eat healthy. Practise general hygiene.”
Park Island closed to dogs No dogs will be allowed in the Park Island section of the Zandvlei Nature Reserve until Friday 1 January next year after a dog hunted and killed a juvenile Cape grysbok. The incident happened on Monday 9 November. The dog was allegedly not kept on a leash – a contravention of the reserve rules that pets be on a leash at all times. The rule is also prominently displayed at the entrance to Park Island. “Unfortunately, this is not an isolated incident of visitors disregarding the rules of the reserve and Park Island. As such, we decided to close this section to dogs to allow the fauna on the island to recover and to prevent further damage to the sensitive faunal populations,” says Mayco member for spatial planning and environment, Marian Nieuwoudt. Park Island is home to the cape clawless otter, water mongoose, Cape grysbok, the angulate tortoise, snakes, the western leopard toad and more. The incident is being investigated and the situation will be closely monitored. “Our nature reserves are there for the enjoyment and use by the public, but I want to remind all that upon entering, visitors agree to abide by the rules. It is sad that some dog owners cannot control their pets and that we had to take this drastic step. The ban applies to Park Island only, however, we want to urge visitors to Wildwood Island to please keep their dogs on a leash,” says Nieuwoudt. Non-compliance is an offence under the National Environmental Management Protected Areas act.

Celebrating unique flare The Cape Town Carnival held the fourth of its triweekly workshops aimed at stimulating and connecting Cape Town Carnival performers, artists and members of the public. The spotlight was on Umswenko, a fashion and music subculture originating in the 1970s among Zulu hostel dwellers, used to celebrate, entertain, and show off a sense of impeccable style, fashion and music, and build a higher degree of self-expression and selfconfidence. “It merged traditional and modern African and European culture, which gave off a vibrant, masculine feel of identity and self-confidence, especially in a hostile working environment,” says Khanyisile Mbongwa, curatorial- and socio-critical adviser at Cape Town Carnival.
Accompanied by fun and energetic performances by the carnival’s lead performers, the audience were treated to musical representations of Umswenko; from the a cappellastyle choral sounds of Isicathamiya – originally sung by migrant Zulu men in the 1930s, to Ntembeko Njaba’s street-style rapping, and Kwaito and Hip Hop-influenced Riky Rick’s own version of Umswenko. The fashionable styles of Umswenko were on full display, including Izikhothane, a flashy, branded and cult-style of street fashion, worn for showmanship and dance battles; iJewish – quality clothing that is expensive and stylish; and uNayathela ini ngani, fashionable footwear that often included brands like Gerani and Carvela; and Drag a queer form of Umswenko that combines makeup and clothing to exaggerate a specific gender identity. “Umswenko embodies a deliberate celebratory self-expression and a choice around how we present ourselves. Carnival as a whole is a platform for selfexpression; either of your fullest true self or an aspect of who you are. This includes who you choose to associate with and how you share yourself with the world,” says Brad Baard, creative director for the Cape Town Carnival. The public are invited to attend the Cultural Creative Workshops. V Sign up for the next workshop by visiting the website: http://capetowncarnival.com/online-cultural-creativeworkshop-series/

AWARDS
Local film excels on world stage KAYLYNNE BANTOM
L
ocally produced film Barakat has received international recognition. The film was recently awarded Best Narrative at the 23rd Reel Sisters of the Diaspora Festival in the United States of America. The festival is devoted to supporting films produced, directed and written by women of colour. The award ceremony was held virtually on Tuesday 17 November. Directed by local screenwriter Amy Jephta and produced by Ephraim Gordon, Barakat is the first Muslim movie in Afrikaans. The film celebrates life, culture and family importance. Barakat is an Arabic word meaning blessings, explains Jephta. She says the film started as a comedy and ended up being about grief. “At first sight, we appeared to want to tell a light-hearted story about a family of feuding brothers brought together to sabotage their mother’s love life. What the film actually wanted to be about, is how we deal with the loss of one of our own – in this case, a
father and patriarch,” she says. Jephta says the film portrays the life of four sons who had drifted apart since the death of their father. Their aging mother aims to bring together her dysfunctional family over Eid-ul-Fitr to break the news that she is about to remarry. Her big reveal is spoiled when the boys hear via the grapevine about their mother’s pending nuptials and come together to voice their disapproval of the match. Jephta says the film was shot in Athlone, Gatesville and the Cape Flats, as these areas are rarely screened in South African movies. “The Cape is a melting pot of cultures, with an exciting diversity in our communities, and we wanted to show people that regardless of faith, they can watch the film and proudly say ‘this is us’.” The cast features Vinette Ebrahim, Bonnie Mbuli, Joey Rasdien and Quanita Adams, among others actors. South Africans audiences will have to be patient a little while longer as the film will only be released locally in May next year.
Cape Town registers the ‘lowest’ unemployment rate

Despite the rising unemployment figures in South Africa, Cape Town still has the lowest unemployment figures to date. This is according to James Vos, Mayco member for economic opportunities, who in a statement says: “I have noted the unemployment figures in the Quarterly Labour Force Survey for the third quarter of 2020. I welcome the fact that Cape Town still has the lowest expanded unemployment rate of all metros at 29,1%.” Between April and September, the City’s Strategic Business Partners (SBPs) collectively facilitated R8.8 billion worth of in-
vestment, created 4 980 jobs and trained 1 366 people, despite the various stages of lockdown and economic downturn we have faced. “A key component of the Economic Action Plan (EAP), developed by the economic task team I set up to respond to the impact of the lockdown on our economy, was to ensure that our SBPs pivoted their plans and used the funding from the City to support businesses,” says Plato. “What has become clear, is that the City’s EAP is the best chance for economic readiness and recovery because it is working.”

Police seek public’s help in aggravated robbery case Diep River police have asked for any possible witnesses of a robbery which took place on Monday 16 November in Southfield to come forward. At about 18:00 members attached to Diep River police station responded to a robbery call at a local business in Leo Road, Elfindale Industria. According to information gathered, five unknown men approached the complainant, a security guard. They asked the complainant to open the gate as one of the men alleged that he had left his cellphone inside the building. “The complainant did not recognise any of the males and ignored them. A few minutes later the complainant saw three unknown males inside the property where they threatened the complainant
with a knife, tied him up and took his cellphone and fled,” says Constable Zak Marais, a spokesperson for Diep River police. The complainant managed to free himself and searched for his colleague and found him also tied up. Upon further investigation, the complainant saw that two slabs of the perimeter fencing had been removed from the wall where it is alleged the suspects gained access to the premises. No injuries were reported at the scene. A case of aggravated robbery was opened and is being investigated. V Anyone with information is asked to contact detective Sgt Siphokazi Cibini on 021 710 7352, call Crime Stop on 086 00 10111 or report the incident on the My SAPS mobile app.

TOKAI | HEATHFIELD
Ballet student steps up NETTALIE VILJOEN
A
teenager from Heathfield helped keep her younger fellow ballet students “on point” during the hard lockdown. According to Amy Gould, the principal and owner of the Amy Gould Ballet School operating from Theatre On Main in Tokai, film clips featuring Chloé Dennis (13) and her sister Cassy (7) were extremely beneficial in keeping online training at a high level of competency. Gould says that within a week from first going into lockdown at the end of March, the ballet school was up and running with Zoom. “Everyone had login codes and specific times and, yes, it was complicated keeping everyone informed with the correct details, but we developed WhatsApp for each class so they could ask for advice from each other if I was not available. Technology served us well at this complex time,” she says. Gould explains that while the Zoom sessions worked well for many of the school’s classes, the younger children struggled at first. Together with Gould, Chloé performed various steps and sequences from the young children’s class work, assisted by Cassy.
This was then filmed in short clips by her parents, Carmen and Bruce Dennis, at their home. These clips were sent to the parents of the younger students. “Having a film to watch that is accurate and being able to watch it over and over again, repetition leads to accuracy and memory. Then they would attend their Zoom class with more confidence, knowing what was expected of them and I could correct from there,” Gould adds. She describes Chloé as someone who is easy to work with, learns quickly and accurately and applies herself 100% to what she does. “She has a secure family life with committed parents who believe in the benefits of the discipline of the training. Incredible potential. She loves an audience and is a very social person. She started with me when she was five years of age,” Gould says. Although the lockdown presented quite a few challenges, Gould says there were enormous benefits for some. “Fortunately, dancers work with the mirror image; they are used to cameras and they have a very good idea of how to accommodate their bodies, spacial awareness. The parents taught them to handle the computer

and adjusting various screens and angles and learning how to plug into their TV screens to see better. Many have become very confident in their abilities,” she says. The biggest difficulty dancers experienced was not having the space they normally would have practising at a large studio. “I had to adapt what I taught to accommodate their working conditions. This is where family members were creative in making small spaces in their homes available by decluttering the rooms,” Gould says. As lockdown restrictions were gradually lifted, students were able to return to the studio in September. “Now that we are back in the studio, masked and proceeding with each class, everyone is picking up where they left off with renewed energy. All of the dancers missed our social contact and interaction in the studio. It is a ballet family of dancers and families,” she says. To keep the school’s lockdown memories alive, dancers were asked to send in a short video clip, showing their joy in dancing. These clips were forwarded to Juliet Harrison-Egan, a senior dancer at the ballet school, who edited and loaded them to Youtube. The video shows some of the dancers

nd, on occasion, their family members, goa ing through their steps. Viewers will even catch the odd pet making a cameo appearance. “At one stage, one of my dogs, Honeybelle (a cross staffie and dachshund), managed to squeeze into my Zoom room when I was working from home. I introduced her to the young ones and they all crowded their computers to meet her. So when the film idea came up, I had noticed cats and dogs, brothers and fathers floating around, I suggested they include them if they liked,” Gould adds.

Sport brings kids happiness SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS @Samantha_Lee121
“A
nyone who says money can’t buy happiness, has clearly never bought a
ball.” And living true to this is the Unchain the Plain’s latest venture with the recent launch of their own branded sporting equipment. On Saturday 21 November, the organisation launched the first batch of netball, rugby, soccer balls along with its adopt-a-ball campaign, which calls on locals to buy balls and hand them back to the organisation to distribute to vulnerable children. Having started the organisation last year, they have already handed over sporting equipment to several primary schools in Mitchell’s Plain and other smaller towns such as Worcester. Some of the sporting legends who attended the event are former rugby legends Muneeb Levy and Dale Santon, who is currently the president of the SA rugby legends; former Bafana Bafana player David Nyati;
former PSL players Dominic Isaacs; Shamiel Permall, Quentin Booysen and pro netball referee Shanaaz Abrahams Macauley. Santon, who grew up in Mitchell’s Plain, says: “We must take our streets back. When we were children we had other challenges. We fought a regime. There is a chemical war against our children. Our gangsters are selling drugs to our children. So many parents have children who are slaves to drugs. We need to take back our streets and this initiative is part of it.” Nyati says: “To see what is happening here, warms my heart because I think we are in a country that really needs each and every one of us to give of our best to enable this country to rise.” He added that sport is key to keeping children off the streets. “We need to take ownership and start moulding the (people that) our young generation will become,” he says. “I am happy to see this leadership that will get kids to waste their energy in a good way. Children want to play.”
This is key to Unchain the Plain’s philosophy. Mark Skriker, organisation chair, says: “I want to remind all of us that we are duty-bound and that we have a social responsibility to arrest the decline in moral values in our communities,” he says. “What we don’t always realise is it takes a village to raise a child, to nurture a child, to educate a child.” One thing many agreed on was that Mitchell’s Plain, like many other vulnerable communities is rich in sporting talent. Lt Col Cleo Arnoldus, of the Mitchell’s Plain police station, says the initiative is definitely assisting in keeping children active and off the streets, which will in turn see a reduction of influence from gangs and crime. “Every little bit helps. Sports creates resilience and that is what we need,” she says. The branded balls are imported as the local manufacturing costs were too high. “We wanted to find a manufacturer that would make balls to survive the conditions we have. We do not have lush fields to play on,” says Skriker.

Unchain the Plain have launched their own line of branded balls. They will soon add cricket kits and badminton cocks and rackets to their branded items. Their aim is to introduce children to a variety of known and less dominant sports
such as badminton and hockey. V Balls cost R250 as part of the adopt a ball campaign. For more information, visit the Unchain the Plain Facebook page or download their mobile app.
