What an honour The adventurous little horse called Pancakes from the children’s book series – A Little Horse Called Pancakes – along with his two Toy Pom friends, Blueberry and Big Star, and his human team of Candice Noakes-Dobson, Lauren Vermaak and Kelly Burke, visited the residents of Constantia Place Retirement Home to spread love and joy on International Mandela Day which was celebrated on Thursday 18 July. They say it was such an honour to meet the beautiful souls that live at the retirement home and Pancakes has been asked to please return regularly as an honoured guest.

he saying that goes “one good turn deserves another”, cannot even begin to describe what a group of mothers has done to help one of their own. Southern suburbs mothers put their heads together to try to find a way to help the owner of Moo Land Pre-school in Diep River. Michelle Tito, suffered a severe stroke in April this year, which has left her partially paralysed and unable to work. To allow Tito to concentrate on getting better and to ensure the smooth running of the pre-school in her absence, they set up a BackaBuddy campaign to raise the necessary funds to employ an interim teacher. Any funds raised beyond that will be earmarked to help alleviate some of Tito’s mounting medical bills.

She is an amazing person and is doing so well! We want her to focus on getting better, that is why we will be doing a fundraiser to cover some costs,” she says. To add to the funds being brought in by their BackaBuddy campaign, the Moo Land Mums will be hosting a fundraising event on Sunday, 28 July at Alphen Veterinary Hospital, on Constantia Main Road. Entrance to this Family Fun Day is R10 per child (free for adults) and there will be plenty of activities to keep the little ones entertained. Families can look forward to pony brushing, a colouring competition, rides, drinks, sweet treats and a fantastic bake sale.
Johanson says they are very excited about the upcoming fundraiser and they are appealing for support from everyone. “Michelle is a walking miracle, she is such an inspiration to us all. This is just more than moms helping another mom, this is a community effort. I think we have all noticed that recently people are losing that real sense of community, and we want to bring that back. “Michelle is a person that manages to draw people to her. Even when she was lying in hospital fighting for her life, people came together to help from far and wide. This is a chance for us to repay her for all the great work she has done with our children,” she says.

One of the mothers in the fundraising team, Michelle Johanson, says they did this for Tito because she has truly provided a “home away from home” for their children at her pre-school.“When we heard what happened to her, we just had to put our heads together and do something to help. Supporters were keen to jump in and assist from the outset because of how kind and caring she is and how well she cared for our kids while they were at her school. She brings out the best in every child in her care and this was our way to give back,” she says. Johanson described how Tito, a mother of four, was told she might never walk again when she was admitted to hospital after her stroke. She spent many weeks in hospital and once discharged, continued intensive, daily rehabilitation. Tito has defied the odds and surprised all

Securing a future by saving dunes R
esidents from Imizamo Yethu and Hangberg who have dedicated themselves to rehabilitating the Hout Bay dunes received Ornamental Horticulture learnership certificates from the City of Cape Town on Thursday 18 July. These skills are recognised as part of the National Qualification Framework (NQF). Certification is received at NQF level 1: Ornamental Horticulture Learnership With this qualification, the 10 residents have improved their skills set and access to permanent employment opportunities in the future. The dune rehabilitation project is managed by the City’s Coastal Management Branch and covers approximately 50 000m² of re-profiled, netted and planted dune, which has significantly reduced the accumulation of sand on City infrastructure and private properties in the Hout Bay area. The re-profiled dune comprises three areas, namely the fore-dune, buffer-dune and back-dune, and suitable dune vegetation has been planted according to the requirements for each dune area. The Hout Bay dune rehabilitation project is an initiative aimed at managing the movement and migration of dunes. The profiling, wind netting, and planting of dune-specific vegetation have assisted in restricting the movement of sand, which has been a problem in this area for many years. Mayco member for spatial planning and environment, Marian Nieuwoudt said that they have invested significant resources in the implementation of this project. “Apart from the work that is being done to stabilise the Hout Bay dunes, we have also appointed 10 Expanded Public Work Programme (EPWP) workers to maintain the dunes. These workers were selected from the local

These contracts will also include a NQF level 2 plant production learnership and AET Matric, as well as various other short courses for financial planning, life skills and small business enterprises. “To the recipients of the certificates, I would like to give a word of encouragement as well. By protecting our environment we ensure a future for our children. It is not just a job; it is a calling and I heed you for answering that call,” said Nieuwoudt.

We intended that this pilot project and training programme would provide them the necessary skills to apply for employment that requires experienced people with specialised skills in dune and coastal rehabilitation,” she said. “Future job opportunities could also include working in the horticultural industry and at nurseries, or by subcontracting to

Nieuwoudt added, referring to the extensive amount of work completed by the group. “This team has been working on the project for the past 24 months.

Design faculty gets off the ground TIYESE JERANJI @jeranji
A
fter almost two years of planning and preparation, building has commenced on phase 1 of the Engineering and Design Faculty at Wynberg Boys’ High School. The project is to be completed in two phases, with completion of phase 1 scheduled for the end of this year. Phase 2 is the larger section of the project and they hope to start construction on this phase in January 2020 with the scheduled completion of the entire project being December 2020. School principal Jan de Waal says they are excited that something that started as a concept is soon becoming a reality. “We are very excited to be seeing the development two years later,” says De Waal. They want it to serve as a pilot and be an example to other schools. “The big thing we need to be looking at is to equip our learners if we want them to be ready to face the 21st century challenges,” he says. De Waal adds that they are extremely proud that all funding has been donated and does not affect school fees. “To date, we have received pledges totalling 65% of the total R32m project cost, with sufficient funding already deposited to complete phase 1. Many of our generous donors have further
pledged additional funding towards the project that is to be paid to us in 2020. These funds will be used to finance the construction of phase 2. We are, however, still seeking additional funding to complete this phase,” he says. The school’s fundraising team is exploring several promising potential funding opportunities but any assistance, leads or suggestions to enable them to raise the shortfall will be greatly appreciated. De Waal continues to say that one of the most exciting aspects of the project is the high number of Wynberg families members who have stepped forward and offered their professional expertise, often at highly discounted fees or pro bono. “This has enabled us to appoint a highly competent group of professionals at a very reasonable cost. Everyone that has associations with the school came in to help which is really nice. “We all had to do this for our learners to give them the skills and this is vital for the future. For them to be able to cope with the ever-evolving world and the demands of the future, we had to get this going. We are excited that phase one has started,” he says. V As the project continues and the need arises, other professionals will be appointed and should you wish to be involved, please contact Jan de Waal by emailing jdewaal@wbhs.org.za.

Youth taking advantage of the relaunched centre to do various things.
HOUT BAY
Resource centre to benefit the unemployed TIYESE JERANJI @jeranji
J
ames House Child and Youth Care Centre, recently launched their resource centre to give an opportunity and space to those who are unemployed and need to use a search engine for work. James House was established in 1986 with the aim of providing basic needs for children in need in the Hout Bay community.
They offer various programmes like Isibindi, a model which aims to create safe and caring communities in the context of HIV/ Aids through the delivery of communitybased child and youth care services by trained and qualified child and youth-care workers. Among other programmes, they also have Building Emotionally Strong Teens (B.E.S.T), which is a six-month non-residential solution to prevent at-risk teenage boys
and girls with challenging behaviour entering a path that may be destructive to either themselves or others. The centre at Number 6 Riverside Terrace in Hout Bay is for everyone who wants to use it and it is open on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 10:00 to 16:00. The centre previously known as the Life Centre, was initially sponsored by the Lion’s Club of Hout Bay, a programme also previously funded by the Department of Social Development, Future Growth and the TK Foundation. The programme closed its doors due to a loss of funding. This programme has been revived without any secured funding, but the facility owners are determined to keep the doors open to help the public. Siya Manqunyana, marketing and public relations officer at the centre, says they saw the gap as there are a lot of unemployed people in the area.“This is a much-needed facility, we will get other people on board to keep the resource centre running. Looking at the area, Imizamo Yethu has only one internet café and it is expensive to go there. Most of the youth don’t work and paying for these services will be too much and that is why we decided to reopen the centre to help the youth surf the net and prepare their CVs because there is a great need,” he says. Though most of the services are free, there will be a small fee that will be charged for those that needs to make photocopies. Manqunyana says the programme has assisted the youth of Hout Bay to realise their potential, offering life skills opportunities, job placements, opportunities to complete vocational studies and family support. “There has been an increasing demand for this service, therefore, James House gathered resources to make it happen. Although the centre is in Hout Bay, the services are open to anyone who would like to make use of them,” he says. V For more information call Siya Manqunyana on 021 790 5616.

Schools embark on a new journey R
ustenburg Girls’ High School embarked on a new and exciting journey called “A school where we all belong” with the aim to facilitate interactions between students and teachers. The aim is to break down those biases that disconnect people from one another, whether it be race, culture, religion or language. Since they began this journey last year, new energy celebrating transformation, diversity and inclusivity was established. The music department, an integral part of everyday school life and for many students, “a home away from home” embraces this vision and therefore decided to put on a production that would celebrate this new-found inclusivity, in conjunction with Rondebosch Boys’ High School and South African College School (SACS). The production, The Armed Man: A Mass for Peace is a work by the Welsh composer, Sir Karl Jenkins, written for choir, orchestra and soloists. It is accompanied by video footage, and was written with the hope that performances across time would encourage young people to think about “the vital issues of war and peace”.
The inclusive nature of the work speaks for itself as the various religious and secular texts, as well as the music itself, embrace time periods from the first millennium B.C. to modern times, and bridges Hindu, Islamic, and Christian cultures. With over 350 young people involved in this project on the one hand and the natural inclusivity of the work on the other hand, the work seemed an appropriate choice. The Combined Choral Collaboration is a tradition that dates back to 1968 when Doctor Patrick Wise, director of music at Rondebosch Boys, and Ruth Dosé, choir director at Rustenburg Girls’ High produced the first-ever choral collaboration with Handel’s Messiah. In 1988, Vetta Wise was appointed as the choir director at Rondebosch Boys’ High School and revived the tradition, initially in a performance of Messiah with the Diocesan College and then continuing with Rustenburg Girls’ High School when Elizabeth Sole was appointed in 1989. SACS joining the collaboration 1998. Since then the collaboration has hosted works such as Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana, John Rutter’s Requiem, David Fanshawe’s
COSMETICS
Rex Trueform Office Park,
African Sanctus, Antonio Lucio Vivaldi’s Gloria, and Jenkins’ The Armed Man. It goes without saying that this type of collaboration involving so many students from three different school demands meticulous planning. At the beginning of the year, a whole week is set aside for choir auditions as several students, most who do not have any music background, try out.

earing up for Women’s Month (August), women from three neighbourhood watches in the Diep River policing precinct are getting together to get donations for St Lukes Hospice in Kenilworth. Meadows, Southfield and Plumstead neighbourhood watches are doing the drive to help others with much-needed items for extra care. The initiative started with the Meadows Community Watch in Southfield after one
of their crime fighters was diagnosed with cancer. With other members having also been affected one way or the other they decided to do something to support one of their own and also help the hospice care for those that are terminally ill better with the stuff that they will donate. Fiona Schwimmbacher, Diep River community policing forum (CPF) secretary and communications coordinator says: “One of our patrollers got sad news that she has cancer and she has to undergo treatment.

Baboon interventions are currently working well For five years Human Wildlife Solutions (HWS), an authentic and reputable company, has taken care of baboons very successfully and we all breathe a sigh of relief. Among the team of highly qualified, dedicated and innovative conservationists on the 13 strong staff are a doctor of zoology, BSc honours in biodiversity and conservation ecology, a BSc in botany and zoology, a plant ecologist, a biological control specialist, a primate behaviour scientist, a botanist and a behavioural ecologist. In addition, the famous Professor Justin O’Riain supports the staff from UCT (Univeristy of Cape Town) and the Institute for Communities and Wildlife in
Africa, as he has a special interest in sorting out conflict. We are celebrating this month with HWS that throughout this period of hard work completed, we have been able to enjoy baboons which are kept within a boundary and no longer cause damage to our homes and dogs. Raiding baboons are extremely unpleasant, leaving faeces, urine and disease. Humans share the common whipworm – a gut parasite transmitted through the faeco-oral route. No more traumatised children, no more scratched cars, no more broken lights. We open doors and windows, the roof tiles and gutters, satellite dishes are in one piece.

I notice with great interest the article in Peoples Post, 2 July (Zandvlei water not safe), about unsafe water at Zandvlei Nature Reserve. Also, there are notices on Park Island warning of the pollution, and recommending no swimming, fishing or any other water activity. Surely the City is aware that Zandvlei discharges onto Muizenberg beach? Why are there no warnings on the beach at Muizenberg? Without doubt, Muizenberg would lose its Blue Flag status (if it still manages to hold this status) if this situation were made public, but surfers, swimmers and other people using the beach need to be made aware of the dangers regardless. The City needs to act responsibly. DR ROGER SILBERBERG Marina da Gama
Sharing space with baboons is bad for people and baboons. In urban areas, they are killed by dogs, cars, electricity from phone wires and poisons. It is a romantic notion to wish to share an urban area with a baboon. It results in conflict and ultimately the reduced welfare and conservation status of baboons. So if one truly cares about wildlife, suggesting that baboons should be accepted in urban areas or controlled by unqualified people is in direct contradiction with all research evidence now available.

Declare councillors This is an open letter to the City of Cape Town. I was in a telephonic conversation with an elderly friend of mine from Somerset West and he made a truly shocking revelation that I have heard from many other residents. He stated and I am going to quote him“Keith I have some issues here in Somerset West and what the sad part is I do not know who is my ward councillor, what his or her role is, and how and when and where can I contact him or her.” This shocking statement made me realise that our ward councillors need to advertise who they are and their contact details. If I was the premier I would, as with election posters, place a picture of each ward councillor with their contact details on strategic posts in their respective wards. This would enhance communication and service delivery. KEITH BLAKE Ottery
Safety in province can be achieved The letter “Safety should be top priority” (People’s Post, 9 July) by MEC Albert Fritz warrants a response. Fritz claims he was warned to stay clear of an abandoned building in Uitsig used by rival gangs. But he fails to mention whether he reported this building to his colleagues in the City of Cape Town in terms of the Problem Building by-law. I too support the concept of safer communities and this can be easily achieved if Fritz buys in to national government initiatives such as the Bambanani programme which revolves around community participation and mobilisation in the fight against crime. The call for the Army to be deployed is a dangerous one given our sordid past. When the Army was called in and a state of emergency declared in the favelas of Brazil, it only worsened an already imploding situation. What needs to happen is that the social conditions of our people must be improved; but, this is not the responsibility of the Army or our Police. We need to support national government in their fight against crime. Prevention of Organised Crime Act (POCA) investigations have seen an entire gang, the Atlantis Fancy Boys being found guilty in the High Court
and locked away for life. With some hardcore gangsters like “Geweld” behind bars for life, it means that government is already clamping down on “syndicates, gang leaders, drug dealers and murderers who terrorise our people daily”. Fritz rightfully raises the lack of police presence and visibility. However, he has failed to exercise his oversight mandate by holding General’s (Khombinkosi) Jula and (Mpumelelo) Manci to account for Operation MORT which is a duplication of work already being done by the Anti-Gang Unit (AGU) and other police units. Some 287 police members and 125 vehicles were taken away from existing duties to work for MORT as a parallel structure to the AGU. I concur with MEC Fritz that we can get our province back on track but it can’t be with people like some ward councillors who approached a High Court Judge pleading for leniency for a gang member in the “Geweld” trial (source: IOL). That sends a wrong message to the victims of crime and is an attack on the very freedom that we all enjoy in terms of our Constitution. COLIN ARENDSE Wynberg
The Grassy Park Community Policing Forum welcomes the deployment of the army to the gang-ridden areas of the Cape Flats. Gangsterism has spiralled out of control. Too many children have already died as a result of gangster shootings in our townships. A man was shot and killed in Lotus River in the Grassy Park police precinct. It hardly made the news. That’s another killing which has become such an everyday occurrence in our area. The residents of Parkwood, Lotus River an Ottery in the police precinct of Grassy Park, must endure wild shootings every day. The Grassy Park police took several guns off the streets in the last few weeks, but the shootings continue. The CPF would like to know that the support forces to the police will also be deployed in our area, sooner rather than later if the shootings and killings are to be stopped. Gangsters have a way of migrating to where it is easier to hide while the forces concentrate on selected areas. We say: Don’t give them that opportunity. Let the gangster know that he can run but will not find a place to hide. The law provides for the army deployed under orders of the president to search and seize and we hope this is the case with this deployment. To have the army just standing on the street with rifles helps somewhat but we need them to conduct searches as they know how to do. Gangsters must feel the heat. The CPF calls on our law-abiding citizens to be tolerant as they might be required to open their doors and be inconvenienced at roadblocks. It is but a small price to pay to make our communities safer and ensure a better future for our children. We wish our social agencies who work in these communities well, as they take advantage of the stabilisation of our areas and intensify their programmes with our children, youth and adults. We look forward to the real new dawn. PHILIP BAM Grassy Park CPF
This show is a must-see It’s never easy for a box office hit such as #JustMen, currently on at the Baxter Theatre, to be replicated with the same authenticity and credibility, with a re-run and achieve the same standing-ovation performance as experienced previously. Director and performer, Heinrich Reisenhofer, states at the very onset that #JustMen is a presentation and not a show, unscripted and unadulterated with performances by four diverse characters. The successful recipe to this remarkable presentation is the honest, stark account of each character’s early sexual encounters, often using expletives such as the “f-word”, to ultimately drive home their painful sexual experiences. Each gives a vivid account depicting the societal influence on their sexual manhood and malignancy towards women, but seeking redemption and self-realisation to overcome their mental demons, with the aim of releasing them from patriarchal bondage. #JustMen is a must-see and the post-presentation session is a valuable addendum serving to conscientise men of their sexuality, and to become more sensitive to gender-based violence, and the dignity and respect that women deserve.

Cup to remember former principal T
he first Phaldie Tregonning Memorial Cup will take place at the RC Athletico Soccer Club in Lansdowne today (Tuesday 23 July) and Thursday 25 July from 18:00. “A year has passed since our beloved and respected principal, Phaldie Tregonning’s untimely death on 13 July 2018,” read a statement from Windsor High School where he was principal by the time of his death. Tregonning’s career in education spanned almost three decades. “He was passionate about teaching and inspiring both learners and educators. He not only took a keen interest in developing learners academically but also supported their sporting dreams and assisted as far as possible for them to achieve it. “In commemorating our late principal, Windsor High School staff has decided to host a soccer tournament in honour of Phaldie Tregonning, hence the tournament has been named ‘The Phaldie Tregonning Memorial Cup Tournament’,” continued the statement.
Three teams, along with Windsor High School, have been invited to take part in the tournament namely: Livingstone High School, RC Athletico FC and Westerford High School.In tonight’s action, Windsor will tackle Westerford, with Livingstone doing battle against RC Athletico. The winners will take part in Thursday’s final at 19:15, while the losers of tonight’s contests will play in the curtain-raiser at 18:00. The school hopes to grow the tournament in years to come where they will be able to invite more teams. “We wish to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Tregonning family for granting permission to host the event and supporting this tournament. To Muneebah, Shakirah, Aniqa and Uzair – thank you for allowing your husband and father to be a part of our lives. He not only touched but made a tremendous difference in so many peoples’ hearts and lives over his 27 years in education.” V For more information on the tournament call 076 244 1373 or 083 570 3058.
