keter’s offer was not known) at a fishing community meeting held in November. “Toe hardloop almal na die R320 (everyone ran after the R320),” says Phillips. She emphasises that it was the fishers’ choice and their choice alone to go with Amplified. However, the deal is now surrounded by controversy with claims of unfulfilled promises from both parties. Nodada says the deal was only for live lobster, while the fishers believe otherwise. “No company would promise R320/kg for dead fish just for the sake of securing a deal with a community. It just doesn’t make business sense. Only the local market is interested in buying frozen lobster at a much lower price,” says Nodada. He says the international retail price of live lobster fluctuates depending on the season, but currently, the international retail price is about US$38 per kilogramme (about R540). Achmat, however, says the price agreed upon did not come with any conditions. V Continued on page 2.

aar is ons geld?” (Where is our money?) These words are on the lips of many Hangberg interim and small-scale fishing rights holders who agreed to sell the first phase (50.16kg per person for the 2019/2020 Interim Relief Fishing season) of their 2019/2020 West Coast Rock Lobster allocation to Amplified Projects and Investments, a local marketer. Of the 125 fishers who signed with the marketer, it is alleged that only 20 have been paid in full. The rest have either received a portion of their money or, some claim, nothing at all. Beatrice Yon, chair of the First Indigenous Women group in Hangberg and a community appointed assistant caretaker, claims a well-known line-fisher in the community, Yusuf Achmat, first alerted the community to a possible deal with Amplified, owned by Lithu Nodada, in October last year. “He posted a message on the United Fishers of South Africa WhatsApp group, saying that, for those who are interRight(s), here we go ested, Amplified The West Coast rock lobster was willing to pay season for area 8 opened on R320 per kilogram 14 November last year and is for crayfish,” says set to close on 30 April.

Last year, the minister of environment, forestry and fisheries, Barbara Creecy, finally announced that small-scale fishing rights would be allocated to those who qualified by December (“Fishers’ voices heard”, People’s Post, 15 October 2019).

He claims Nodada badly wanted it out of the water that he was happy with R320/kg. Of course, a copy of the signed contract would solve this conundrum, but it seems hard to come by. Nodada was asked to send People’s Post a contract, but none was received and both Achmat and Phillips told People’s Post that they did not have copies of the contract. People’s Post has contacted The Department of Environment, Forestry and Fisheries (DEFF), asking if it perhaps has a copy and is awaiting its response. Yon claims of the 125 fishers who decided to sign with the marketer, only 20 were paid in full at the end of last year. “About 50 were given one-quarter of what they were owed and the rest got nothing,” she says. “Many families went hungry on Christmas Day.” Achmat says he can account for every cent paid (and sent People’s Post over 200 bank statements as proof). He says he made payments to fishers as Nodada made deposits in Everything Seafood’s account in December. Achmat claims 20 fishers were paid in full (R11 600 each) and 105 were paid R4 000 each. Achmat says Phillips later supplied him
Everything and more At this point, it is necessary to explain where Everything Seafood fits into the picture. It is a company registered under Achmat’s wife’s name. Achmat is a line-fish permit holder and the company handles the processing and marketing of the line fish he catches. Achmat claims Phillips recommended all of the money be paid to him directly and that he then transfer the money to the various fishers. He said he was asked to provide a business account for deposits, and the existing Everything Seafood account was the logical choice. However, he says that is where Everything Seafood’s involvement with the deal stops. Achmat says the only prerequisite he had to brokering this deal was that his boat and boat crew be one of the eight boats (owned by individual Hangberg residents) contracted to harvest the lobster quota. If anything, he says, he has lost money on the deal, having to pay bank charges that ran up to R7 000 and R2 000, respectively, in addition to a weekly electricity bill of R3 000 to refrigerate and store bait.

with an additional list of 11 people who she said had also signed the marketing and processing agreement with Amplified. They were paid R3 000 each on the day before Christmas last year. Phillips claims at the time she told Achmat to divide the payments equally among the fishers. Nodada says the same: “We advised Everything Seafood to distribute the money paid evenly (among the fishers). We don’t have their bank accounts, we don’t know who got paid what. So we are also stuck. Everything Seafood never sent us the recons, even though we asked for it over and over,” says Nodada. Achmat claims those 20 fishers were paid in full because their names were on a list

Quality versus quantity Nodada says the dead stock on boats is usually within the range of 1% to 5%. But of the lobster pulled by the Hangberg boats at the end of last year, the mortality rate on the boats often exceeded 50%. He feels, since Amplified was not in control of the crews who caught the lobster, the responsibility for the high mortality rate should lie with the boat owners. “Our trucks fetched the lobster at the harbour in Gordon’s Bay, but we could tell the lobster had been out of the water for way too long.” He says that once caught, lobster need to be moved to recovery tanks as quickly as possible if they have any chance of survival. “We work with many other fishing communities (Khayelitsha, Philippi, Langebaan and Lamberts Bay). Their boats come out at 11:00. Hangberg’s boats
docked at 15:00,” Nodada claims. Achmat says Nodada is just trying to blame shift. He says their boats are fitted to SABS standards and department standards. He says it was Amplified’s call, they wanted that lobster out of the water as quickly as possible. “Amplified liaised directly with the boat itself (via radio), and they never said to us we should come out of the water sooner. The latest a boat came out was 13:30. If he felt the mortality rates were too high, why did he not stop us?” He says the lobster was also very much alive when it made landing. The community elected person, as well as DEFF inspectors, are present at the landing point, Achmat says. “The inspectors see the quality, the size and they weigh it. They condemn it (mark it to be sold as frozen only) if the lobster is dead at the landing.”

given to him by Phillips. The list, he says, contained the names of boat crew members who also had fishing rights. “Dis ouens wat hulle eie kreef uitgehaal het (They were the guys who took out their own crayfish),” Achmat explains. Other figures in dispute are exactly how much lobster were pulled to this date, how much of that was live and exported and how much is being held in storage at Combined Abalone Processors (the company contracted by Amplified to process the lobster) in Hermanus. The Hangberg fishing community has appointed a task team to look into the matter and to plot the way forward. The four community representatives met with the marketer and processing company on Friday 24 January in hopes of negotiating a price for the frozen lobster. Donavon van der Heyden, one of the community representatives on the task team, says: “It’s a mess, with ongoing accusations, threats being made to some of us ’investigating’ this matter and a total lack of responsibility taken by some of those implicated.” Van der Heyden claims unauthorised written permission was given to Achmat on behalf of the fishers. “So the fishers will have to decide on a course of action now, while at the same time, new offers are on the table to buy their frozen stock, even though it will still be at a great loss to them.” The task team has submitted an application to DEFF to gain access to information pertaining to dealings between the fishers and the marketer. They hope to receive feedback from the department within the next few weeks.

liant on donations and sponsorships. A few months ago, the school’s sports field was dry and dusty. Today, grass sprouts are starting to peek through the once sandy soil. “The development is ongoing with plans for constant maintenance and improvement in the quality of grass and irrigation system,” says Fernie. Just last week, lawn dressing was delivered to the school. The Grow Africa Foundation donated the R6 543.50 needed to cover the cost. This non-profit organisation is a responsible tourism initiative of Jenman Africa Safaris and Hideaways. Foundation’s Kudzai Ngwara, project coordinator of Grow says Uthando and HVA approached the foundation to donate to the sports field. “We aim to empower communities around us, and Rosmead Central Primary School is within our community,” Ngwara says. She says the rehabilitated sports field will encourage learners to engage in extra-mural activities at the school, leading to better health and the development of social skills such as teamwork, leadership and discipline. Companies and individuals who also responded to the call to assist were Oblivion, Natural Gardens, Ian and Jo Veary and Jaco Storm of Durr.
“This really has been a big team effort,” Fernie says. The planting of 12 fast-growing indigenous trees – paid for by the HVA – around the field is next on the agenda. Fernie says they hope the trees will be in the ground by March this year, replacing the old bluegum trees currently growing on the edges of the field. “We are extremely concerned about the serious risk the bluegum trees pose to the children. Last year, one child died at a school in the Eastern Cape as a result of a branch that fell from a bluegum tree,” says Fernie. There have already been instances of huge branches falling off the trees at the school. Luckily, no one has been hurt so far. Fernie says, in addition to the danger, the time and resources needed to keep the field clear of sharp twigs and bulky branches is immense. He is aware that the proposed removal of the bluegum trees will be a contentious issue in the community because he too is passionate about the environment. “The decent-sized, indigenous trees that we hope to replace the bluegums with will complement the field and its purpose.” V For more information, email Fernie on jamesfernie@uthandosa.org or visit www.uthandosa.org.

SAFETY AND SECURITY
M3 roadworks on schedule NETTALIE VILJOEN Residents and road users in the Mowbray, Rosebank, Rondebosch and Newlands areas should be relieved to hear that the resurfacing of the M3 outbound between the N2 highway and Newlands Avenue is on schedule to be finished by the end of this week. “We foresee that the project will be completed by the end of January 2020 if all goes according to plan,” says Mayco member for transport, Felicity Purchase. The City cautioned drivers that the roadworks, which commenced on Monday 13 January, would affect traffic in both directions and urged them to find alternative routes while the work was ongoing. Purchase says to date no traffic congestion problems have been reported.

“Work is being done at night when traffic volumes are low, therefore, traffic can be accommodated in one lane.” Apart from the resurfacing, isolated defects on the northbound lanes are also being repaired. “Works done on this section of the M3 should last for 10 to 12 years,” says Purchase. After the conclusion of the roadworks, traffic flow in the area should return to normal as no new major maintenance works are planned for the remainder of this financial year (June 2020). “Future works are dependent on the pavement deterioration that will occur during the autumn and winter, however, maintenance is planned for sections of Main Road,” Purchase said.
Free app to create Buzzer in the Cape B
uzzer, a safety and security app created for Hout Bay in cooperation with Hout Bay Community Crime Prevention (CCP), is now ready for roll out across Cape Town. Hout Bayans are proud of “their” app and have used it extensively since its launch in 2018. The free app geo-locates the exact point at where an incident has been reported. Since its launch, more than 250 actual incidents were resolved via Buzzer including 16 fires, 25 crimes, 29 medical incidents and 83 suspicious activities. Hout Bay resident Camille Paterson says, “Buzzer is an incredible app that connects us all and helps us feel safe and aware, where we can also help or be helped.” Keri Cross, director of CCP, says they have received repeated requests from other areas wanting to use the app. But Cross and her team decided to keep operating and developing the app in “stealth mode” until it was stable and ready to scale. Last week, she announced that the app is now ready. “We have been configuring over 300
neighbourhoods on the app and adding more every day,” Cross says. People’s Post reported on the success of the app last year (“Buzzer rings in a new era of safety”, 17 September 2019). At a workshop, organised by Cross and her business partner Jessica Boonstra, representatives from surrounding communities, local emergency responders and residents co-designed their “ideal process” in case of an incident and this became the blueprint for the Buzzer app. “We wanted to build a solution that is freely accessible for everyone,” Boonstra says. The result, built by an Israeli tech company, is an app that has an SOS button and panic functionality similar to other safety apps. However, upon sending an alert, the signal goes out to local professional, private and volunteer response teams as well as to the residents of the area where the incident happened. Those who are able to help can choose to step in and form an instant “team” to share relevant information or to help resolve the incident. Capetonians can now download and install the app which is free for residential users and available for both IOS and Android devices.

Three suspects nabbed in Tokai Police have charged three suspects with possession of presumed stolen property, after they were arrested In Tokai at around 00:30 on Wednesday 22 January. “One of our armed response officers had responded to a call for help from a resident along Paddock Lane just after midnight. It was after he finished this response that he was flagged down by a member of the public, reporting suspicious behaviour further down the road,” says Jade Hanning, Cape Town South district manager at Fidelity ADT.

Learners from Constantia Primary School receive training from Ben Getz, director of Urban Harvest – Checkers Constantia’s garden partner at the school.

Gardening skills take root at school T
he 150 learners from Constantia Primary School will, from this year on, have their school meals supplemented by vegetables from their own organic food garden, thanks to a fruitful partnership with a local retailer. The garden at the school forms part of the Shoprite Group’s food garden programme which was first rolled out in 2015. To date, the programme supports more than 100 community gardens across South Africa. Workers’ children growing up on the wine farms in the area make up the majority of learners at Constantia primary. The school is located a stone’s throw from the Constantia
Emporium – home to the flagship Checkers which opened last year November. The school’s new garden not only provides fresh vegetables but it is also the place where learners can practice the gardening skills they are taught at the Eco Club (formed after the establishment of the garden). Alastair Adams, principal of Constantia Primary, says the garden is a wonderful addition to the school as an educational tool as well as a source of fresh produce for the learners and, eventually, the greater community. “We’re very grateful for Checkers’ investment in our community. This
illustrates that it is really a business that cares about the communities in which it trades,” Adams says. Support provided at the school included the installation of a 10 000F water tank and an irrigation system, as well as garden training for 20 of the school’s parents. It also entails training workshops over the course of a year and donations of plant material as well as gardening tools. “As a food retailer, we believe we are best placed to bring sustainable hunger relief to the communities we serve,” says Lunga Schoeman, the Shoprite Group’s corporate social investment (CSI) manager.

CAPE TOWN CYCLE TOUR
Cyclists to reach for child’s dream RACINE EDWARDES @RaeEdwardes
O
n Sunday 8 March, cyclists will once again show what they’re made of as they take on the 47th Cape Town Cycle Tour – the world’s largest timed cycle race.
Some of these cyclists won’t only be doing it for the pride in knowing they’ve completed the 109km open-road race but also to support a child with a life-threatening illness such as cancer and leukaemia, renal failure and various blood disorders. Reach for a Dream is calling on cyclists,
young and old, to join their cycling team and to assist in making the dreams of a young boy or girl come true. The non-profit organisation (NPO) relies on donations to help fund the dreams of children, says the organisation’s fundraising coordinator Toto Jordan.
Last year’s Reach for a Dream cyclists: Clint Hefer, Dylan Emmett, Dr Kishoor Pitamber and Rudy McNeil took on the Cape Town Cycle Tour to show their support for all the children fighting life threatening illness. PHOTO: REACH FOR A DREAM
“The dreams could be to meet someone – someone famous, a sports personality or a celebrity. A dream could also be to go see a place. “We send kids to the United States of America and other locations – India, Orlando Florida. The kids love to go to Disney (World) there. A dream could just be spending time on radio with a DJ.” He says many of the children also wish for PlayStations, tablets and bedroom makeovers once they’ve returned home. At present, 18 cyclists will participate under Reach for a Dream’s banner. The NPO is appealing to the public to join its cause. “Everyone who rides for Reach for a Dream has had a loved one suffer a lifethreatening illness. When you get to the finish line, it’s not about a prize or money. It’s not for material things – it’s much more than that. They keep pushing on because the person they’re riding for gives them that extra drive.” Last year, the main race saw more than 23 000 people participating. This year, organisers hope to attract more people to the race which starts at the Grand Parade in the city, moves south past Hout Bay and Noordhoek to Simon’s Town and heads back north past Smitswinkel, Fish Hoek, Muizenberg, past Constantia and back into town. Jordan says, in addition to the bragging rights that come with completing the race, it allows racers to see some of Cape Town’s best sites. He encourages all interested cyclists to join the Reach for Dream cycling team for the race. Entries to the cycle tour are now open and will close on Thursday 30 January. V For more information, call Toto on 021 555 3013, email toto@reachforadream.org.za or visit Reach for a Dream on www.reachforadream.org.za or Cape Town Cycle Tour’s website on www.capetowncycletour.com.

On a Kwesta to perform in the Cape Kwesta will now be accompanied by Lady Zamar at the Kirstenbosch Summer Sunset Concerts on Sunday 2 February. Sjava, who was originally scheduled to perform alongside Kwesta, will now accompany Sun El Musician on 15 March. Sjava said: “I regret to inform that due to a personal commitment, I will have to postpone my performance. I really apologise for any inconvenience caused and I am extremely excited to play for all my fans on 15 March at one of Africa’s most iconic venues.” Hip-hop artist Kwesta’s first show at Kirstenbosch is set to be one to remember. “I can’t wait to take the Kirstenbosch stage for the first time. I shot one of my first music videos in Cape Town, so it’s always great coming back to one of the places where this started for me and sharing what I’ve been working on with the Mother City,” said Kwesta. Lady Zamar will close the show. The double-platinum artist is set to stun the day’s audience with a selection of firm favourites as well as songs from her new album, Monarch. “Due to an unforeseen personal commitment, I have had to move my Kirstenbosch performance, initially scheduled for 15 March to 2 February. I am extremely excited to be returning to Kirstenbosch, which was one of my favourite concerts of last year. “I look forward to playing alongside Kwesta for all my fans at one of Africa’s most beautiful venues,” said Lady Zamar. Ticket holders for both shows will have received communication from Webtickets regarding their refund or reschedule options. Tickets cost R170 to R220 per person. V Book at www.webtickets.co.za.
Hot off his recent collaboration with 2020 Grammy nominee Rick Ross, and just a few weeks ahead of the release of his highly anticipated new album, Kwesta’s first show at Kirstenbosch is set to be one to remember.

Reading holds heaps of benefits for children.
EARLY LITERACY
World Read Aloud Day hopes to reach 2 million W
orld Read Aloud Day (WRAD) is in its eighth year and now more than ever, the non-government organisation (NGO) Nal’ibali wants to emphasise the importance of literacy. WRAD will be held on Wednesday 5 February and is a campaign designed to spark children’s potential through storytelling and reading – a skill which is integral to learning. Every year, the NGO commissions a new story – best suited for reading aloud to primary school children – and translates it into all 11 official languages. This year’s story, A Day to Remember, was written by local author and early-literacy expert Lorato Trok. Trok wrote the story in Setswana, her mother tongue, after which it was translated into all the other official languages. “I find it interesting that when I’m commissioned to write a story, without question, the default language of writing is English,” said Trok. “However, for this story it only came naturally once I decided to write it in Setswana. It made me realise how we underestimate the power of our own language!” This year the target is to read aloud to more than two million children. In its first year (2013), the campaign reached 13 000 children. This number has steadily grown and last year it reached 1 559 730 children in a single day. The significance of translating the book into all 11 official languages is because there

On stage with jazz’s greats NETTALIE VILJOEN
O
f all the selfies Benjamin Lewis, a Grade 12 learner at Wynberg Secondary School, has taken in his life (and being a teenager, that’s a lot) the one he prizes most is the one of him with R&B/soul singer-songwriter Cory Henry. Benjamin, thanks to the Cape Town International Jazz Festival’s (CTIJF) sustainable training and development programme, got to meet the American musician last year. He is hoping to meet his idol again when he performs with his school’s band at this year’s CTIJF free community concert. “Meeting him was a dream come true. I’ve looked up to him for so many years; the way he incorporates the organ into all of the various genres he plays.” This is the third time that Benjamin, the band’s guitarist and second keyboard player, has participated in the programme and he hopes to pursue a career in sound engineering and live performance next year. “I have learnt a lot. The programme introduced me to the GarageBand app, to record and mix songs. I’m using the Logic X app at the moment,” he says. His fellow Grade 12 learner and band member Kamvelihle Higa also can’t wait to share the stage with jazz legends. The vocalist hopes she will have the chance to network with industry role players at the festival. Kamvelihle says the programme taught her that socialising is a big part of the music industry. “I also learnt how to be myself on stage, how to connect with the crowd and to just have
fun,” she says. One of the things she likes most about performing live is the connection with the audience. “I can’t describe it; the transfer of energy. It is like electricity,” she says. Asked what her future plans are, she says it has to be music, no matter what. “The stage is my home. I feel comfortable there, more myself,” she says. But she realises she will have to work hard to get there. “You can’t expect it to just come to you. You have to respect your craft, it must be what you believe in. You must fall in love with your music.” This is the 10th official year ESP Africa, the producer of CTIJF, has held the programme with the support of the Western Cape Department of Education. It is open to learners in Grades 10, 11 and 12. Six schools, with an average of about 10 learners per school, are selected to participate in the programme which introduces young and upcoming musicians to all of the careers in the music industry. Of these schools, one is chosen to perform at the following year’s free community concert. This year, the honour went to Wynberg Secondary School’s band. Craig Parks, head of training and development at ESP, says they are very proud of the young musicians chosen to perform at this year’s free concert. “They have shown outstanding dedication to the programme and have grown immensely under the mentorship of our facilitator Lana Crowster,” he says. Lana, a full-time musician and the winner of the ESP Young Legends Competition in 2016, says the role of the facilitator is to give

For the fourth consecutive year, It’s A Love Thing Vol 4 Duets produced by Robin Pieters will come to life at GrandWest. The 29-year-old singer says the show, which takes place on Friday 14 February, will see an array of local artists sharing the stage. Pieters became a household name in 2016 when he was a finalist in season 1 of The Voice SA. He says shortly after his appearance in the singing competition, It’s A Love Thing was born. “It’s a Love Thing Vol 1 was showcased in 2017 at the Baxter Theatre, to a nearly sold-out theatre and left audiences wanting more. In 2018 and 2019, the shows moved to the Grand Arena. “This time around, the show is going to be different. There’ll be a lot of duets from amazing artists,” says Pieters. The lineup includes him, Craig Lucas, Elwira Standili, Karin Kortjé, Keegan Martin, Loukmaan Adams, Nur Abrahams, Paxton Fielies, PJ Twins, Salome and Terra Cox. “We’re excited to welcome this show back to GrandWest. It’s the perfect way to celebrate, and feel the Robin Pieters' production of It's A Love Thing Vol 4 Duets takes place love, on Valentine’s at the Grand Arena, GrandWest, on Friday 14 February.

For Lana, being a mentor to young musicians allows her to share her love for music. “This is an amazing group of kids. They are
so intuitive when it comes to music. They are only in high school but their natural ability is already there. It is like taking clay and moulding it. Everything they need, they already have. They just need mentoring – someone to tell them what to do with it,” she says. The free concert’s date and venue will be announced in the second week of February.
Supergroup tours SA International supergroup Boyz II Men are heading to the country this April. The two-city tour will include shows in Pretoria and Cape Town respectively. The tour kicks off in Pretoria on Thursday 9 April at the Sun Arena followed by the Cape Town leg at the Grand Arena, GrandWest on Monday 13 April. Limited tickets for the seated concert are available at Ticketpro and Superspar nationwide now, ranging from R290 to R1750. Celebrating more than 25 years of timeless hits and memories, Boyz II Men remain one of the most iconic music groups in music history. Having made their own lane, the group continue to create timeless hits that appeal to fans across all generations for the past two decades.
No strangers to South Africa, Boyz II Men have proven to be a firm favourite in the country, having last visited SA in 2015. Their timeless, soulful ballads including “End of the Road”, “I’ll Make Love to You” and more, the trio hold the distinction of being the best-selling R&B group of all time, with an astounding 64 million albums sold worldwide. Their list of accolades includes four Grammy Awards, nine American Music Awards, nine Soul Train Awards, three Billboard Awards and a MOBO Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music. This April fans will be catapulted into the world of Boyz II Men, as they carry their fans along a live, melodic 25-year musical journey of their best hits. - Channel24
Art fair showcases talent The Investec Cape Town Art Fair 2020 will run from 14-16 February at the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC). It is an experience that is constantly evolving, from year to year, to accommodate the changing dynamics of the local and international art scene. One progression is TOMORROWS/TODAY, one of the main art fair sections that leads each edition. Structured as a curated exhibition, with a prestigious award attached, it is a portal to new visions in the visual arts. The aim of TOMORROWS/TODAY has, from its inception, also been to shine a light on emerging and under-represented artists, set to be tomorrow’s leading names. It is open to those working on and beyond the African continent and as the title implies, the ongoing theme is one of transformation, and experimentation showcasing unorthodox art forms addressing current social and political issues. Artists that will be showcased in the section are Danica Lundy (USA) of Gallery C+N Canepaneri in Italy, Amanda Mushate (Zimbabwe) of First Floor Gallery in Zimbabwe, François-Xavier Gbré (France) of Gal-
lery Cecile Fakhoury in Paris, Andy Robert (USA) of Hannah Hoffman in Los Angeles, Fathi Hassan (Egypt) of Gallery Lawry Shabibi in Dubai, Ernesto Shikhani (Mozambique) of Perve Galeria in Portugal, Nnenna Okore (Australia) of Gallery Sakhile&Me in Germany, Gregory Olympio (Togo) of Septieme Gallery in Paris, Bonolo Kavula (South Africa) of Suburbia Contemporary in Spain and Isabelle Grobler (South Africa) of Sulger-Buel Gallery in UK. “Normally the focus of the section is around emerging artists,” says co-curator Nkule Mabaso. “But while that generally refers to young artists that are newly signed to galleries, but who are not well established in their careers, we wanted to stretch that and look at it more as ‘emerging’ in the sense that they may not be well known in South Africa. That would mean that they are emerging in the sense that we need to become familiar with them. They are unknown to us, but they may well be professional and established where they come from.” V For more information, visit www.investeccapetownartfair.co.za or follow Investec Cape Town Art Fair on all major social media platforms.

The City is doing its best to address some of the bigger issues as is evident by the successes of our different security departments, but many of our communities are plagued by smaller crimes and transgressions which make neighbourhoods unsafe and unpleasant areas to live in,” says Smith. “We are committed to tackling the crime and disorder which will make a difference in the lives of residents who have expressed a need for by-law enforcement. “The project has long term threeyear funding which will enable a sustainable enforcement presence. The auxiliary law enforcement officer is an entry officer who will receive continuous on the job legislated training and after two years, will advance to a law enforcement officer.”

Luckily for me I have a supportive wife that understands the demands of the job ever since I started at the Blitzboks in October 2018. “I miss my two boys the most when I am on the road and when I am at home I make sure that I spend quality time with my family,” Ghafoer says. With the Olympics happening this year in Tokyo, Japan, he hopes to win gold and to win the World Series as well. “What I admire the most of the Blitzboks is how humble and down-to-earth they are. They always have time for the fans, whether it is for a chat or a picture. When the going gets tough or the tension is high while we
prepared for the day’s games. “Breakfast and strapping is done followed by a team meeting before we leave to the stadium. At the stadium, management would help out with the logistics, we make sure the players have everything they need to aid optimal performance. We then have a final team meeting. After that it is activation, the team warms up which leads to the match. After the match we do our recovery protocol and then we repeat the process for the next game,” he says. Ghafoer especially enjoys the Dubai 7s because it is where his journey with the Blitzboks started. “I also enjoy Cape Town because it is my home town. I enjoy all the cities on the circuit but Las Vegas is not one of my favourites. It is very cold that time of the year (February/March) and also the party setting is not my scene. “I admire James Rodwell of the English 7s team because of what he has achieved and the friendliness of some of the Samoan and Fijian players. I also have a good relationship with the conditioning coaches of England, New Zealand, France, Fiji, Wales and Scotland. We keep in contact via WhatsApp and chat about strength and conditioning,” Ghafoer says. The Blitzboks are currently in Australia after completing the Hamilton 7s over the weekend.

Exciting week of softball ahead NOORE NACERODIEN
A
n exciting week of softball lies ahead for Capetonians. The Cape Town Softball Association (CTSA) league competition is all but secured; the knockout semi-finals take place on Sunday 2 February and an American college visits our shores. Lavender Hill is cruising to their maiden Super League title by securing an easy 8-0 victory over Kenfac Phillies. Grivonne Rhoda’s pace and deceptive pitching is becoming increasingly difficult to handle by opposing players. She mesmerises her opponents every week with support from her fellow pitchers Melissa Savage and Chesternay Fortune. Close rivals Falcons beat a struggling Tantasport 10-5, while Glenthorn A’s easily defeated bottom of the table, Heideveld Yankees. Westridge Yankees, meanwhile, suffered a minor setback when they were held to a 9-9 draw by Kuils River Cougars in the Major League. They are still commanding top spot over arch-rivals, Falcons. Lavender Hill start their quest for the double when they face Phillies in the Super League knockout Semifinal on Sunday. Westridge Yankees play Glenthorn A’s for the other spot. This week also sees the arrival of Gustavus Adolphus College from Minnesota, in the USA, through the Beyond Sports Tours Company. Nawaal Weitz, South African site director for Beyond, says: “Our company creates mutually beneficial opportunities for US student-athletes, international athletes, and international youth to enjoy a life-changing cross-cultural experience through sport. “Our staff comprises of former college athletes, educators, coaches, and international adventurers and are passionate about connecting the world through sports!” In 2016 and 2017, Beyond Sports Tours
hosted two softball tours with over 80 US student-athletes from various universities in the USA forming teams and playing against local CTSA teams. The year 2017 also gave the opportunity to local stars Grivonne Rhoda and Ammaarah Larney to join the Beyond Sports Softball Spain Tour with all costs covered. University teams that came down to Cape Town in 2017 and 2018 was Augustana College, Macalester College, St Catherine University and St Mary’s College. “The upcoming tour that we will be hosting in partnership with Cape Town Softball Association includes three matches and two clinics. Young players, between the ages of 12 and 16 years are welcome to attend the clinics,” said Weitz. Nicole Williams, CTSA development director expressed her excitement, saying: “We are excited about this partnership with Beyond Sport as the benefits to us, as an association, are tremendous. Our players are being exposed to a higher level of competition, which comes right before the lead up to our national provincial games and final rounds of league and knockouts. Our players could also be afforded the opportunity to travel with the Beyond Sport contingent, if selected from these friendly matches – which only means great things for their development and growth, as international friendlies or competitions are not opportunities many of our players get to experience given the financial difficulties within the Softball South Africa setup where players have to pay their way to achieve their dreams.” Further than individual development and growth, Williams says young players and coaches will have the opportunity to gain skills through the hosting of these clinics which may bring a new outlook on the game which she hopes will improve the level of play in and coaching strategies. “Most importantly our association get put on their radar. If we compete well, we get recommended to other colleges, meaning a con-

Premier League dishes up drama GOOSAIN ABRAHAMS
T
he latest round of fixtures in the Western Province Club Cricket Association’s Premier League competition produced unusual drama with two games ending in a tie. This is the first time this has happened in this division since unification. In the game between Cape Town Cricket Club (CTCC) and Durbanville, both sides scored 172, whilst in a low scoring game Western Province Cricket Club (WPCC) and UWC, both sides mustered 125. Meanwhile, in the first division A, newcomers Rylands enhanced their chances of promotion with a bonus-point win over Edgemead. For Rylands, all-rounder
Faheem Bedford made a useful contribution with the bat (36) and ball (3/18). While Ottomans, United and Primrose suffered defeats at the hands of Green Point, Notherns Goodwood, and Milnerton respectively. Results: Premier league: UCT beat Victoria by 50 runs UCT 205/9 (Aqeel Ebrahim 76, Chris Meyer 34: Alistair Snowden 3/13, Jordan Fourie 2/27) Victoria 155 (Robert van der Ross 67; Justin Spourl 4/32, Matt Rudston 3/40’ Strandfontein beat Langa by 3 wickets Langa 111 (Waqa Ali 26, Ben Henderson 26; Tommy Jansen 5/18) Strandfontein 112/ 7 (Zunaid Lagardien 26, Chad Joseph 22; Mangaliso Mtiya
