HOUT BAY
Kids learn to Take 5 NETTALIE VILJOEN
“C
lose your eyes. Take a deep breath. In through the nose, out through the mouth. Again.” This mantra can be heard at every Waves of Change (W4C) surf therapy class. This meditation technique is called Take 5 and it helps you to let go of anger, fear or stress. “When you are out at sea and the waves are crashing around you, it can be scary. “Fear affects our ability to make good decisions. When you feel threatened or angry, it is important to reach out to the calm,” says W4C Hout Bay site manager, Katekani Rihlampfu. This is one of the life lessons taught in W4C’s programme. The initiative, aimed at 9 to 14-yearolds from communities affected by violence, poverty and conflict, was founded by Ashoka Fellow Tim Conibear, who spent time in South Africa after graduating from a university in the United Kingdom (UK). Ten years later, W4C has sites at Masiphumelele, Monwabisi, Lavender Hill, Port Elizabeth, East London, Harper (Liberia), and now Hout Bay. Ash Heese of the W4C Muizenberg office says the organisation put out feelers to determine the need for its services in the community last year during February. “We started small, first offering a class for boys on Saturdays and later a class for girls on Fridays. We wanted the communities to get to know us. To earn their trust,” says Heese. A year later, an official programme was launched at Hout Bay beach. At present, it accommodates four groups (two boys and two girls) of 22 to 25 learners each. The twohour-long classes are held after school. On Saturdays, it holds the weekend surf club for programme graduates. Rihlampfu says Hout Bay is the only W4C site where boys and girls are divided into different groups. “The request came from the children. The girls felt that the boys could be bullies some times, and the boys said they didn’t want the

PHOTO: NETTALIE VILJOEN girls to laugh at them when they shared their feelings. W4C is all about creating safe spaces, so we listened to them.” W4C follows a 12-month weekly surf therapy curriculum during which children are taught skills to cope with stress, regulate behaviour, build healing relationships and make positive life choices. The organisation works in partnership with Sentinel Primary School and Disa Primary School. “Teachers, following a list of criteria, refer kids who will most benefit from our teachings. We make regular school visits to get feedback on the children’s progress and we conduct teacher training,” he says.
Four coaches guide each group through their training. According to Rihlampfu, the coaches are the second beneficiaries of the organisation’s programme. “They are taught surf coaching, lifesaving, child and youth care work and job readiness. They are also mentored by mental health professionals,” he says. Bridgette Isaacs, a W4C coach and a qualified surfing coach, says this is the perfect opportunity for her to follow her passion. “I want to be a psychologist, so this gives me the chance to work with children in preparation for my career later.” Moricia from Sentinel Primary School is also grateful for the chance to participate in
the programme. “The coaches teach us to be bananas,” she says, lifting her hand to form the international surfers salute. “Being a banana means to protect, respect communicate and share.” Ashlyn, also from Sentinel, wants to be a doctor one day. She says the programme teaches her how to deal with her feelings and how to focus on her school work. “I also share what I learn with my friends at school. When I see them being angry or upset, I tell them to just Take 5.” V For more information, visit W4C’s website at www.waves-for-change.org.

he City of Cape Town encourages Grade 12 learners and students who are pursuing studies in expert fields such as accounting, nursing, engineering, information and systems technology; business sciences and sustainable energy engineering to apply for financial support. The assistance is offered for studies in 2020, and those interested should apply by 19 September this year. The City is offering financial support to aspiring and existing students who are residing in the greater Cape Metropolitan area. The support is for full-time studies. All applicants need to be registered; and must pursue further studies towards an undergraduate or postgraduate degree or diploma in one of the approved City scarce skills fields of study for 2020. The City will consider applications for studies at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT); University of Cape Town (UCT); University of the Western Cape (UWC); and the University of Stellenbosch (US). “The City is committed to offering growth and development opportunities to our young residents. The financial support is pivotal for those who cannot fulfil their full potential because they simply do not have the means to support themselves and pay for further education and training,” said the Mayco member for corporate services, Sharon Cottle. She added that the ultimate aim of fi-

Each year, the City awards external financial support to approximately 50 applicants for formal studies in areas that have been identified by the City’s directorates. Apart from catering to the technological demands of the future, it is essential that the City also invests in expertise which provides the essential basic services that maintain a well-run and healthy city. Therefore, residents with knowledge of and skills in nursing, contract management, fleet management, accounting, as well as library and information science will remain in demand. The application and documentation can be found at one of the City’s libraries or at the City’s human resource employment
counters at the Civic Centre, Brackenfell, Helderberg, South Peninsula, Bellville, or Parow municipal offices. Submit the application by sending an email to corporate.bursaryoffice@capetown.gov.za, or drop it at one of the venues listed. The closing date for all applications is Thursday 19 September.

DIEP RIVER
Camera fund needs extra push NETTALIE VILJOEN
T
he appeal of the Diep River community policing forum (CPF) for support in raising R10 000 to install cameras at the Diep River police station was answered. About a month ago, the CPF announced its plans to install cameras to watch over three buildings in the station and to monitor the area around the station. “We received a handsome donation from the Wynberg Mess and members of the
public were very generous, especially Robin Crawford. We also managed to save a bit of money when the local company which we bought the cameras from agreed to install them at no extra cost,” says Fiona Schwimmbacher, CPFs secretary and communications coordinator. However, Schwimmbacher says the costs to complete the project has escalated since the original estimation. “The R10 000 raised was used to get the system up and running, but we still need to purchase and

install about four cameras. More funding is still needed.” Once completed, the cameras will help jack up security around the station. “The cameras will help to keep the police officers as well as the community safe when they come to the station. It will also serve to provide evidence should something happen,” she says. A raffle draw, which brought in R2 000, started the ball rolling, but Schwimmbacher says funds were mostly raised through social media and WhatsApp groups.
“We will continue to do the same to raise the rest of the money needed,” she says. CPF is calling on companies or individuals that are willing to help further. Any small donation is appreciated. “On behalf of the Diep River police and CPF, I would like to thank all those who donated. They helped us help the community. It allows for better service delivery as well as greater all-round safety,” Schwimmbacher says. V To donate call 082 350 9647.

Construction work for a new faculty on track NETTALIE VILJOEN

espite inclement weather, the construction of the new Engineering and Design Faculty (EDF) at Wynberg Boys’ High School is still on track. Work on phase one began in July this year after almost two years of planning and preparation. Jan de Waal, the headmaster at Wynberg Boys’ High School, says this is the most exciting educational development that has occurred at the school since it moved to the new campus on Lovers Walk in 1981. Funding for the second phase has also been secured and the school’s steering committee has given the contractor, Scott+Partners, the go-ahead to start on phase two as soon as the first is finished. “We are extremely proud that all funding will be sourced through donations and it will not affect school fees.

All subjects offered at the faculty will be fully accredited national senior certificate subjects. They will appear on the matric certificate and count toward university entrance points. A Grade 12 student graduating from EDF will have multiple options. “They can go straight to a tertiary institution, enter industry immediately with one of our partners as an intern or apprentice, or go directly into the world of work and ultimately open their businesses,” says De Waal To facilitate this third avenue, all students studying through the EDF will complete an entrepreneurship course currently being designed by Wynberg old boy, Andrew Hibling (class of 1990) through his company Edge Learning Media.

Hout Bay Police station played a key role in two significant convictions this month. On Tuesday 20 August, Denrico Plaatjies (20) was convicted of robbery with a weapon. The robbery took place on Tuesday 30 April. Clothing, cellphones and accessories were stolen. A source, who prefers not to be named, says that Plaatjies is a well-known repeat offender in the area. He was convicted to 12 years imprisonment of which six years were suspended for five years. “Sgt Hellenic Jones worked tirelessly to ensure this success,” says Hout Bay police spokesperson, Tanya Lesch. On Wednesday 21 August, Cebo Silo (28), was convicted of robbery with a weapon. The robbery occurred on Chapman’s Peak Drive, Hout Bay, 17 August last year. “A 67-year-old woman was stabbed twice by the accused. “He took her car keys and, later, items from her car,” says Lesch. Silo was convicted to eight years direct imprisonment of which two years were suspended for a period of five years. Constable Phila Mvunelo, who was assigned to the case, opposed bail to keep the suspect in custody and worked hard to ensure his conviction. “We commend both detectives for their dedication towards ensuring the convictions,” says Hout Bay police station commander, Lt Col Khuthala Nebhisi.

Sanitary pad project moves forward T
he process to appoint a service provider to supply and deliver sanitary pads to the R23 million Sanitary Dignity Project of the department of social development (DSD) has begun. Prospective bidders attended a compulsory briefing session at the Kensington Treatment Centre in Maitland on Friday 23 August. The department is seeking to appoint a service provider that can supply and deliver sanitary pads in terms of the stipulated specifications drawn out in the bid documents. Joshua Covenant Chigome, the spokes-
person for the provincial minister of social development, Sharna Fernandez, says the department cannot comment on when the bidding process will be finalised, saying the department could be held liable for providing any form of information supplied on the bidding procedure. In a press release, Fernandez says she welcomes the progress being made regarding the roll-out of the project to female learners across the province. In February 2019, the provincial cabinet and provincial treasury identified the DSD as the department to implement the framework of the project.
Fernandez and DSD head of department Dr Robert Macdonald were designated to take responsibility for the project and to establish the provincial committee for the project to oversee the implementation of the framework. Fernandez says: “In South Africa, menstrual hygiene and the inability of female learners to go to school when they are experiencing their periods is not just a sanitation issue, nor is it a physiological one. Rather, it is something that has wider socio-economic implications with historical connotations.” Following an analysis of data collected

from 2016 to 2018 school attendance and retention rates of female learners in Grades 4 to 12, schools have been identified comprising Q1 to Q5 schools, no-fee paying schools and fee-charging schools. It was decided that the project should prioritise schools in rural areas and include special needs schools. The programme will consider a maximum of 222 schools and approximately 90 000 female learners for the project. “Although there is still so much more to be done, this project will go a long way to promoting the dignity of thousands of indigent female learners,” says Fernandez.

DIEP RIVER
Partnership policing pays off D
iep River police officers, community members, neighbourhood watch groups and security service providers all worked together on Thursday 29 August to nab five perpetrators in two separate incidents. Constable (Const) Ashley Adonis and Const Shu-Aib Boer were on duty in Diep River on Thursday when they received a housebreaking in progress report. On arrival at the scene – a residential premises in Talent Road, Plumstead – the officers were flagged down by a member of the public who informed them that two men,
carrying a large flat-screen TV, were seen fleeing the scene. The officers immediately engaged with Diep River neighbourhood watch groups and security service providers in the area. Thanks to a coordinated effort, the suspects were apprehended after a lengthy chase. The two suspects, a 16-year-old man and an 18-year-old man, were arrested and detained on charges of housebreaking and theft. In a separate incident later that day, the same officers arrested two men (35 and 41, respectively) and one woman (44) for the
possession of presumed stolen property. A local security company in Diep River called for police assistance after one of its armed response officers spotted three people acting suspiciously. Carrying a large, heavy bag, they were seen heading towards the Steurhof train station. The officers tracked the three people down and, after further investigation, found that their bag contained a large number of copper pipes and fittings. “No reasonable justification could be given for the possession of the content.

Backyarder services introduced The City of Cape Town attended the South African Human Rights Commission’s Backyarder Summit held on Thursday 29 August and welcomed the spotlight being placed on the plight and concerns of backyard dwellers that are often not eligible for government subsidised housing due to higher income earnings or their more youthful age. The recent backyarder protests in Cape Town have highlighted the need for more affordable accommodation options in urban centres across South Africa. The growth of the occurrence of backyarders is directly proportional to the rapid urbanisation in Cape Town and across South Africa, and the accommodation needs that exist for more affordable housing options located near urban centres. The City is doing much work on this but substantial partnerships between all government levels as well as the private sector are required. No one organisation or one lev-
el of government can take responsibility for increasing urbanisation, in South Africa or in the rest of the world for that matter. . City’s backyarder programme started in 2014: It entails the provision of one-on-one water, refuse and electricity services to backyarders residing on council-owned property, such as rental units. . More than R850 million of the R4 billion mentioned has been earmarked over three years for upgrades to informal settlements and backyarder services. . Of this, R713 million has been earmarked for investment in backyarder service provision and the informal settlements upgrade programme. In addition, some R150 million is budgeted for the delivery of electricity services to backyard dwellers residing on council-owned property. Types of backyarders are those who live on City property; on private property or on invaded land, paying rent to the original ille-
gal occupiers. For formal subsidy houses and affordable rental opportunities near urban centres, the budget over the next three financial years is just over R1.6 billion. However, the days of following one model of housing delivery are over. The City has said they cannot solely rely on Breaking New Ground (BNG) accommodation. They are looking towards affordable rental options, enhanced backyarder services provision and the upgrading of informal settlements. They hope to continue working towards reversing the legacy of apartheid spatial planning by promoting transport-oriented development. At the same time, they are working towards creating affordable and inclusionary housing on well-located land close to public transport and job opportunities. In addition, they will be planing and catering for a wide range of income groupings to respond to the increased demands of urbanisation. The na-
quently, the three were arrested on charges of possession of presumed stolen property,” says Const Zak Marais, spokesperson for Diep River police station. The suspects will appear in the Wynberg magistrate’s court once charged. “We would like to express our gratitude towards all the role players who helped in the arrest of these suspects. Policing is about building partnerships. We hope to strengthen these partnerships in our continued efforts to reduce the crime rate to zero,” says Marais. tional conversation regarding housing delivery continues to move away from the primary and historic emphasis on the delivery of brick and mortar houses and towards the upgrading of informal settlements and bringing services to backyard dwellers. . Since 2014 the City’s informal settlements and backyarder department has installed 2 460 water and sanitation points to backyard dwellers on City rental property. The City plans to continue rolling out approximately 2 000 service points to backyard dwellers over the next three years. The Municipal Finance Management Act determines that public money may not be used for enhancing private properties. Therefore, much work still needs to be done to see how backyarder services will be rolled out to those most vulnerable residents who are residing on private properties within the framework of the law. The City hopes to bring communities on board with the alternatives that there are on offer. This is also why they take a zero-tolerance approach to land invasions as any invasion of existing projects jeopardises their planned interventions.

legacy alive. “She was so passionate about her work. The charities were on her mind until the last. She kept on saying, ‘Please don’t let them down’,” says Rosalie. The good Beverley has done through the years is immeasurable. Clive Obery of Woodside Special Care Centre describes her as an amazing woman. The centre has participated in the book sale since the very beginning. “We raise a significant amount of money for our organisation at the book sale. The shoppers who buy books from our stall are so supportive. They never haggle over prices. And our donors are just incredible. This year Jonathan Ball Publishers gave us eight crates of brand new books to sell,” says Obery. Nicky Antonie of Goedgedacht’s Help the Rural Child charity shops says the book sale is also one of its most important fundraising events. The organisation has also been part of the book sale from the start. “People don’t always have money to give, but they have second-hand books or old clothing and furniture. We can resell these items,” says Antonie. The charities aren’t the only ones who walk away from the book sale happy. With the price of books starting at R20, bookworms can stock up on reading material for

t first glance, most book lovers would think it was business as usual at this year’s 21st instalment of the Charity Book Sale held at Cavendish Square. But there was one key ingredient missing: Beverley Whelehan. For 20 years, Beverley was the wizard behind the curtain, the convener who made sure the book sale ran smoothly. Sadly, she passed away from colon cancer last year on 23 September. She was 67 years old. “Beverley was convinced she would get better,” says her sister Shirley Gray from Simon’s Town. “At last year’s book sale, she was still rolling around in her wheelchair, asking the charities if there was anything they needed.” Shirley says Beverley believed she would be able to organise this year’s book sale as well. “When it came to planning the event, everything was in her head. What to do and how to do it. It was only towards the end that she spoke to us about what needed to be done. We would sit with her and, on the days that she could, she would give us a list of things to do. Our sister, Rosalie (Jack), agreed to take over the ropes.” Rosalie, a full-time estate agent, says it was important for her to keep Beverley’s

the whole year at a fraction of the price charged at book stores. This year’s book sale, held from 29 August to 1 September, again attracted a huge number of bibliophiles. A shopper seen browsing at the book sale, Alexis van den Brock, says she is always on the hunt for good books at affordable prices. “Books at stores can be very expensive. I don’t have the cash for that. Here I can buy great books at even better prices. And it is for a good cause,” she says. Joshua Conyngham, a student living in Claremont, heard about the book sale from a friend. “I am originally from Durban and didn’t know about the sale. I decided to come and have a look and I am pleasantly surprised. The range of fiction and non-fiction books are impressive. And the prices are great. I’ll be back next year,” he says. The book sale is one of Cavendish Square’s most anticipated calendar events. Faizah Behardien, centre manager at Cavendish Square says: “As a brand, we are extremely grateful for a partnership of this stature, where we have the honour of facilitating an event where 20 charities can benefit from second-hand book sale proceeds to champion their cause. It is too aligned with our brand strategy of conscious – conscious about not only the environment but our people and their causes.”

8 NEWS MATRIC EXAMS
Plan well for finals W
ith a little over six weeks left before the 2019 Grade 12 learners start their final exams, here is a look at how best to strategise your time leading up to the exams. “Your approach to studying shouldn’t be random or haphazard at this stage, but should leverage the learnings from your prelim exams, to build on your strengths and to identify and address weaknesses,” says Nola Payne, head of faculty for information and communications technology at The Independent Institute of Education. “Prelims play an important role in finals preparation – beyond generating marks which contribute to your overall year-mark.” She says the act of sitting down in a similar environment and under similar conditions to final exams would have provided learners with valuable lessons about their performance under pressure. “In addition, prelim exams would have highlighted the important sections of your work, as well as potential areas where you may have gaps in your knowledge. So as your finals preparation starts, using insights gained during your prelims will provide useful information and structure which will allow you to organise your thoughts and integrate the lessons learnt for each subject,” she says. She gives the followings tips: Review prelim exam papers: Determining where you did well and where you went wrong during the penultimate matric exams can be a great confidence booster. Focusing on and mastering those sections of work which proved problematic during the prelims means that you are concentrating on material that is very likely to arise during the final exams, and for which you will now be well prepared when it does. Completing past exemplar papers It should by now be common knowledge for most matrics that completing past exam papers is one of the best and most efficient ways to prepare for exams. Applying what you have learned, you replicate the time constraints you’ll encounter during the actual exams, you get used to different formats of questions, and ultimately gain a more thorough insight into your work than what you would have achieved through simple reading and re-reading of textbooks. Learners attending upcoming open days at universities or private institutions can make use of the opportunity while there, to speak to student counsellors about accessing past papers available at the institution. Mapping questions asked to work covered in class and textbooks When revising – whether by reviewing classwork, textbooks, completing past papers or looking at prelim exam papers – take note of which questions are asked time and time again. There is an excellent chance these questions will be making their appearance in your own final exams, albeit potentially in a different format, so ensure that you pay extra attention to them. Highlight sections that are challenging If you constantly find yourself struggling with specific questions or sections of work, and if these consistently arose in previous papers, it is time to do the hard work and face down the challenge. Compile a document for each subject, summarising the hardest to conquer sections, and keep this close by at all times. Go back to it over again, and in two months time, you will be confident when faced with previously problematic work. Summarise sections you are comfortable with While work with which you feel more comfortable requires less of your focus, it is good to have a document summarising these sections as well, to reference in coming weeks. Focusing only on the hard stuff, without occasionally going back to the easier stuff, could lead to an out-of-sight, outof-mind situation. “Eight weeks is still a sufficient amount of time to get some decent revision and preparation done. Using this time optimally and strategically can bring about a substantial improvement in your results. But the key is to get going, and get going right now. While two months may feel like a long time, procrastinating for a day or two can have a snowball effect, and you may find yourself left with little time to do more than cramming,” says Payne. “But if you get started, today, on the steps above, you will be reaping the rewards of being confidently prepared when you step into the exam room in October.”

Summit to address safety suggested My letter has reference to, “Safety at malls must be addressed” by community activist Rozario Brown, (People’s Post, 27 August). The brazen attacks and robberies of local jewellery stores at shopping centres is alarming and, gratefully, no loss of life during the incidents is a valuable consolation. After managing various shopping centres for a number of years, I agree with Brown that owners and property managers should not compromise
Citizens asked to comment The department of social development encourages the public to comment on the draft for the manufacturing of washable, reusable sanitary towels. The department is urging everyone to have their say on the Draft South African Standard. This standard covers the requirements and test methods for washable, reusable sanitary towels for external use. Furthermore, this standard does not apply to disposable sanitary towels. The introduction of such standards could be a gamechanger for the sanitary industry in SA because the consequences of inadequate menstrual management extends beyond the classroom to health, dignity, psycho-social well-being, employment, and participation in society. Focusing on a holistic approach to menstrual hygiene management will go a long way to providing an interventional edge in this field. SABS (South African Bureau of Standards), the technical committee responsible for the preparation of this standard has reached consensus that the draft should become a South African standard. The objective of the SABS standards division is to develop, promote and maintain South African national standards. This objective is incorporated in the Standards Act, 2008. To date, there has been no standard available for the manufacturing of washable and reusable sanitary towels. Yet, it remains one of the most economical, environmentally friendly and efficient modes of dealing with menstruation. Moreover, other African nations across the continent have taken the lead in this area of certifying reusable pads. In SA, a leading store is selling reusable products. Internationally, it is becoming more and more popular because of its health and environmental benefits. The draft document is now made available by way of public enquiry to all interested and affected parties for public comment, and to the technical committee members for record purposes. The closing date for public comment is Wednesday 25 September. SHARNA FERNANDAZ Minister for social development
security to reflect greater profit margins in respect of operational costs. Security has always been a priority operational cost during my management tenure, and a robust debate always prevailed when I had to convince my superiors that the security of tenants and customers was paramount. I suggest that a summit be held with all shopping centre stakeholders to tackle the increasing scourge of
attacks on jewellery stores in shopping malls, and a discerning strategy be implemented. I reiterate Brown’s words, “Spending your money shouldn’t become a matter of life and death, which at present it has become as many of these malls are clearly soft targets for criminals, and the staff and shoppers will be ultimate victims.” Shopping must be made safer. MARK KLEINSCHMIDT, Ward 60 councillor
False allegations against the trust Public participation – both formal and informal – has formed the very basis for the proposed development plans at the River Club by the Liesbeek Leisure Properties Trust. Allegations that the Trust is trying to bypass the legal requirements for public participation relating to the proposed redevelopment of the site (“River Club project still waterlogged”, People’s Post, Tuesday 27 August) are completely unfounded and untrue. There are a number of legislated approval processes currently underway, including rezoning, heritage impact assessment and environmental approval processes, which we continue to observe and respect. These processes have also included extensive engagement with interested and affected groups and stakeholders, which have resulted in a number of amendments to the redevelopment proposal. And to give further meaning to our existing formal engagements, we have also had various meetings over the past three years, with a number of stakeholders, on how to memorialise the historical significance of the area and preserve and enhance the ecological environment. These have included discussions with the First Nations People’s and have been above what is prescribed by legislation. Currently, the property is severely degraded and under-utilised. The proposed redevelopment envisages a large portion of
the site being dedicated, safe recreational spaces that will be open to the public including viewing and seating areas along the clean, rehabilitated riverbank and enjoyment of the wetland and the Raapenberg Bird Sanctuary. There will be also running and cycling pathways throughout the development, an accessible private school and developer-subsidised inclusive housing for key workers delivering essential services to the surrounding communities. We are heartened that these engagements on the facts and benefits of the proposed redevelopment have increased support for the project from surrounding communities and interest groups. We are particularly pleased that representatives of the First Nations People’s Groups have agreed to be involved in the establishment and operation of the heritage and cultural centre that will memorialise and educate the public about past events on the site. The project presents many exciting opportunities for the people of the Western Cape, including creating jobs and stimulating small businesses in the area. We look forward to our continued interactions with all interested and affected groups and stakeholders over the next few weeks, while the prescribed development proposal processes are underway. JODY AUFRICHTIG Liesbeek Leisure Properties Trust
Mayco member sets the record straight Contrary to what has been issued in the public sphere, the City of Cape Town’s Salt River Market site could deliver 850 affordable housing units, both Gap-market and social housing. The final number of units would be influenced by the development flexibility that is a characteristic of developments in general and that ultimately drives the design. To make statements to the contrary indicating that what is now planned for the site is less than the original and previous affordable housing proposals are simply untrue. This is because the original proposal had a design ratio of 35% affordable housing to 65% market housing. With much in-depth design development having happened since the original application, the latest approved ratio of affordable units proposed is, in fact, a better ratio of closer to 50% of affordable housing units to market-related units. The number of units proposed has never been changed because of the increased market valuation of this site. In fact, the design development process of this site has a far greater impact than any financial drivers would have. We are gaining great momentum after many years of hard work to get where we are. The City will continue to assess City-owned land, including suitable land in and near the Cape Town CBD and other urban centres to determine whether some of these properties could be developed for housing opportunities. Cape Town is a place for all. We are committed to inclusivity and will keep on exploring all possibilities to provide more
affordable housing opportunities for our residents. The Social Housing Act says social housing is a rental or co-operative housing option for households earning between R1 501 and R15 000 per month. Social housing projects are managed by accredited social housing institutions (SHIs). Social housing projects are developed on well-located, accessible land within areas that contribute to spatial, economic and social development. As with any rental contract, tenants formally enter into lease agreements with the landlord, being the SHI, and they are required to pay their monthly rentals. Social housing also assists those who do not necessarily qualify for a bond from a bank. It is a key mechanism to drive spatial transformation and to cater for the acute accommodation need in urban centres which have resulted from rapid urbanisation. Social housing is based on partnerships with the acknowledgment that local government alone and government in general, cannot satisfy the accommodation need in urban centres. Social housing is well maintained and managed with security and access control. If tenants do not adhere to their lease agreements, the responsible SHI will follow the necessary legal process. A prospective tenant’s willingness to pay for the accommodation is therefore of paramount importance. According to law, the City may discount City-owned property for certain purposes including social housing developments. MALUSI BOOI Mayco member for human settlements

Lottery helps fund theatre Thanks to funding from the National Lotteries Commission, the Jungle Theatre Company will be performing Mantis and the Bee during the September school holidays. Mantis and the Bee, is based on a story of the first people to live. It is a visual, musical and humorous exploration of /Xam mythology and the origin of life. The performance uses dance, masks, puppetry, Khoikhoi and English languages to convey the historical story. Mantis and the bee were created by the rain and the flame to go on an epic journey in search of life. They get involved in an action comedy adventure in a world before the earth was created. Discover the magic hidden inside the stories of the first people, called / Xam. It is a production created collaboratively by Jungle Theatre Company at the start of this year. The play is written and directed by Joce Engelbrecht; masks and puppets were designed by Kai Goertz; music composed by Gershan Lombard and it is performed by Zizipho Gcasamba, Monray
Davids and Siya Badi. “It was amazing to hear one of the first languages,” says Miranda Tait, manager at the theatre company. “The children loved the show. It was entertaining and provided them with an alternative view of how the earth was created.” The September holiday programme will take place from 14:00 to 16:00 each day at the Jungle Theatre Company in Muizenberg. The performance, which is 45 minutes in duration, will be followed by a 45-minute interactive workshop. During the workshop participants will be given the opportunity to share their interpretation of the story. The event is suitable for people aged eight and up. Tickets cost R60 for the performance and R100 for both the performance and workshop. Money raised from ticket sales will be used to bring 60 children per day from the theatre company’s partner organisations to participate in the programme.

Little golf trust receives R50 000 V
isiting the Mother City’s finest golf courses last week, you would have seen the playing out of the third annual President Hotel’s Cup Golf Championship. In an unbeatable setting, 80 avid golfers, alongside South African female golf legend, Bella Modisha and founder of Progressive Women in Golf, Malethola Matube, swept the fields of four world class golf clubs around the city and rolling hills of Stellenbosch. Teams of two – men, women, fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, friends and family – competed for over R240 000 worth of prizes, and together with The President raised R50 000 for Sally Little’s Little Golf Trust (non-profit organisation). “This tournament started in 2016 as a mechanism to combat seasonality and show the world just how beautiful Cape Town is in August. This year we expanded those principles to further create an event that is recognised the world over as a leading golf tournament and in doing so to give back to our communities through the Sally Little Trust,” says Jeremy Clayton, shareholder and manager of The President. “As Cape Town’s most loved sports hotel, we are committed to sharing our passion for sports and wellness by encouraging our

from having monthly to now weekly training sessions. This will aid retention of the student’s golf skills, which we believe fundamentally support their academic growth,” says founder, Sally Little. “We are extremely grateful for the support of all the participants and The President’s team for aiding this cause.” To celebrate the end of the four-day tour-
nament and a wonderful playing experience, the championship gala dinner welcomed 120 guests who enjoyed a fun-filled evening of delicious food and drinks, auctions, entertainment and prize giving, led by Liezel van der Westhuizen whose infectious energy and passion for wellness elevated the ceremony well into the evening. Elroy Kleinveldt and Musa Ncanana of “The Hoodlums” team were crowned as the winners of the tournament and received a once-in-a-lifetime invitation to the Portugal Masters in October. “What an amazing week of golf – the participants, sponsors, and The President Hotel all made for an incredible experience. My partner and I were over the moon when we heard that we had actually won the title and an invitation to Portugal. “We are eager to share our experience upon our return from the Masters, as well as participate in next year’s tournament, which is a must-do event for all golfers,” shares Kleinveldt. The trophy, created by local sculptor, Jacques Buys, drew creative inspiration from The President’s Madiba legacy featuring a carved image of the late leader into a curved bronze plate, as well as the materials used in the hotel’s recent renovation.

New lights for hockey field H
ockey players visiting Western Province Cricket Club (WPCC) for a game on its main field will be in for a big treat. Boasting an industry first, WPCC has become the first sporting club to install a state-of-theart International Hockey Federation-standard LED lighting system on its main field, the first time that international standards have been brought in at club level in South Africa. WPCC was founded in 1864 and in 2003 opened its Sports Centre in Avenue de Mist near the Newlands Cricket Stadium, which boasts a variety of sports fields, including the renowned hockey field. LED is now a world standard and is in demand across all sporting codes, according to Kurt Maritz, from Maritz Electrical, who installed the new lighting system at WPCC. Maritz says that the benefits of LED is a key driver of installations across the world. The most important factor is the consider-
able reduction in energy demand from the grid, on top of the flexibility that LED offers. Instant on and off features, together with various dimming settings, and if needed, theatrical options, allow for myriad options for clubs to use. The installation at WPPC hockey field is a similar system to those used at international stadiums such as Twickenham Rugby Stadium, Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium and several Formula 1 Grands Prix circuits and baseball and football fields in the United States of America (USA). “It is exciting to see clubs taking the step to enhance the sporting experience for players and spectators. “Night games provide an extra element of entertainment for spectators and good quality lighting adds to the experience. With lighting options now offering international standards, as well as placing less reliance on our energy resources, LED is becoming a preferred choice for clubs across the country.”
