SUNNYDALE:
Sleepathon to be ‘pawsome’ RACINE EDWARDES @RaeEdwardes

he annual Tears Sleepathon is a not-to-bemissed event that allows animal-lovers to get involved with the rescue, sterilisation and support of homeless dogs and cats, or those in impoverished areas. The Emma Animal Rescue Society (Tears) is an animal welfare organisation that homes, provides sanctuary for and sees to the medical needs of dogs and cats in Vrygrond, Redhill, Ocean View and Masiphumelele. The Sleepathon will be held on three consecutive Saturdays – 16, 23 and 30 November – at the Tears Animal Rescue shelter in Sunnydale. During the event, participants will get to curl up next to a homeless hound or cute kitty for the night, make them feel lo ved and also enjoy an evening of festivities. The aim of the event, according to the organisation’s marketing coordinator Luke Kruyt, is fourfold. “It’s to raise awareness, raise money – because we desperately need it – find homes for dogs and cats, and we’re always looking for volunteers,” he says, adding that the more volunteers the Tears shelter, hospital and veterinary clinic has, the more animals it can take care of. Tickets to participate in the furry fun cost R200 per person and can be bought online. Entrants can sign up
as individuals, a corporate team, or as a family or group of friends. Once tickets have been purchased, a welcome pack will be emailed to recipients who are then tasked to raise funds – either through social media, by pledging donations or through the sale of goodies – in support of three causes at Tears. “There’s the rescue, rehab and rehome cause – that’s for the shelter and rescue dogs, and making sure they get all the veterinary care they need to become well-rounded and get homed. The other cause is to help to offer free sterilisations in the communities we work in. And the last is to support the welfare and mobile dog clinics which offer subsidised veterinary care,” explained Kruyt. Last year the shelter was able to raise more than R500 000 (which was highly appreciated) but its monthly running costs are currently standing at more than R1 million, due to the fact that it services communities who can’t afford the care their animals need. This year, Tears is hoping to generate even more money with the help of the “pawsome” fundraisers. On the day they’ve booked, participants will check in at 17:00 at the shelter where they will receive much more than just 14 hours with man’s best friends. A statement on the event read: “Sleepathoners will enjoy a festive evening of celebration, live music and socialising in a chilled and comfortable space. One of three gourmet plant-based meals, hot cocoa and s’more kits are on the menu for dinner and everyone is encouraged to bring sleeping bags and camping gear, as well as snacks and treats to make their sleepover as memorable as possible.” Participants will be able to choose a special fur baby they feel a connection with, or they will be allocated one. According to Kruyt, the cattery can accommodate about 15 to 20 people and the dog kennels can take about 80 to 90; adding up to about 360 people who can participate over the three Saturdays. The only downside, according to Kruyt, is saying goodbye at 07:00. “It’s very emotional in the morning,” he said. All funds raised will be used to assist the shelter with its various programmes. “The more funds you raise, the more animals you will help,” the Tears’s statement read.

he Cape Town Society of Model and Experimental Engineers will be hosting its open day from Saturday 16 to Sunday 17 November. The club is situated in Rondebosch on the corners of Erin, Duke and Campground roads in Croquet Lane behind the Rondebosch Croquet Club. The club has members from areas including Fish Hoek, Tafelsig, Bothasig, Vredehoek, Parow, Milnerton and the broader Cape Town area. The club offers members an opportunity to learn basic engineering skills including basic electronics, track construction and soldering techniques. Andre van Breda, club chair, says the club has grown considerably in the last few years. “This used to be a hobby for older people, now we see a lot more youngsters joining. We have one boy who joined us after visiting last year’s open day. He and his mother came to see what the club was about. He is 14-years-old and he comes to meetings every Wednesday,” says Van Breda. There are also members in their early 20s. “The workshop is a hive of activity. We
gained so many members in the last four to five years that we needed to buy more equipment,” he says. “I am a firm believer in getting the youngsters involved because when I am no longer here, I need to have passed my knowledge on.” The club will be open to the public from 09:00 to 16:00. Entrance fees are R20 per adult and R10 per child. Children under the age of six enter free. The money raised will be used for maintenance of the clubhouse and to fund the various sections of the club with their projects. “We also support some of the pensioners who are part of the club and can’t afford their subs. With the fundraisers we subsidise their membership fees. Because we are leasing a building from the municipality, we need to maintain it. Other funds raised go toward projects at the club,” says Van Breda. One of the biggest attractions each year is the model train rides. Children will be able to ride the 5inch gauge live steam engine and parents are welcome to join in. Tickets will cost R5 per child. Train The rides will be available from 09:00 to open
12:00, then 13:30 to 15:30. This allows for maintenance of the locomotives. Model trains and cars will also be on display at the event with several locomotives and tracks in operation. There will also be a display on how toy soldiers and cannons are
made which will be available for sale. Club magazines and books on display will be sold at bargain prices. Refreshments will also be sold on site. V Visit www.ctsmee.co.za or call Geoffrey de Vartek on 072 787 6709 or Andre van Breda on 082 378 2437.

FISH HOEK | SIMON’S TOWN | MUIZENBERG
City celebrates enforcement volunteers RACINE EDWARDES @RaeEdwardes
S
tephen Sherry and Michael Lategan, two law enforcement volunteers from the far south, have been recognised by the City of Cape Town for their hard work and dedication. Aimee Kuhl, councillor for ward 64, handed over certificates of appreciation to the pair last week in acknowledgement of the roles they play in their community and further afield. “Against the backdrop of politically-motivated unrest and a severely under-re-
sourced police department, it is ordinary South Africans like them who make a huge difference,” she said. Sherry said that despite having enough law enforcement work to keep him busy every day of the week, he has managed to find a healthy balance between his day job, home life and volunteer work. “It can become quite taxing (but) it gives you a sense of pride when you can see the tangible results of what you’re doing. We can see the difference – we can see the community getting cleaner and parks getting safer for kids to play in again,” he said. Lategan, who works closely with Sherry,
added: “The highlight is being recognised as a contributing part of the law enforcement in the community and by other law enforcement agents.” The two men volunteer in their local communities of Fish Hoek, Muizenberg and Simon’s Town, but also where needed, which can be in Diep River or even further. Sherry said: “It entails serving the community. We’re like a neighbourhood watch except we carry the powers of a full officer. Where neighbourhood watches are the eyes and ears, we take it one step further and we get hands-on and do a little bit more. We are able to serve the community in terms of by-
laws; the issuing of fines where bylaws are being transgressed and more.” He adds the backing of the City is the support they need in a sometimes thankless job. “The councillor has always been there for us and having her support has helped push us along quite nicely. It’s awesome for her to have her finger on the pulse of what’s happening on the ground.” Kuhl says the work done by people like Sherry and Lategan is valued by the City and of great value to the community. “It is active citizenship like this that unites us where there are constant forces trying to deliberately divide us.”

peers who also completed the course. Jessica spoke to learners at the Desmond Tutu Foundation in Masiphumelele. She introduced them to eco-bricks as a solution for plastic pollution. She also raised awareness of the collection of bread tags and bottle tops and told them about a paper drive at Fish Hoek High School planned for Wednesday 27 November. Erin spoke to Kommetjie Primary School learners about the effects of plastic pollution on the oceans. She spoke about the five gyres in the ocean that are home to many plastic islands. She organised a bicycle-to-school day to reduce each child’s carbon footprint. Rosemary also addressed Kommetjie Primary School. She spoke about harmful waste products; the toxic wastewater product, leachate; and micro-plastics. One idea was to reduce the use of cling wrap or tin foil for school lunches. Alternatives suggested were brown paper bags or a reusable cotton cloth tied with a ribbon. She also spoke about recycling and encouraged beach clean-ups and taking your own material bag to the shop instead of buying plastic bags. During the Smart Living programme, learners went on two outings – to the Green Point Eco Park and to the Coastal Park Landfill site.

tarting out in a basement in Kommetjie, Diamond Thug has continued to create their unique brand of “intelligent and creative electronic music” since its formation in 2012. And this December they will take to the Parklife stage to immerse fans in The Woods and beyond. The band members Danilo Querios, Teddy Buxton, Adrian Culhane and Chanel Van T hail from South Africa’s two major cities, Johannesburg and Cape Town. They began making music in Chanel’s basement, played their first gigs in 2013 and, later that year, took off on their first tour. Now, six years later, they have been touring the world and that has made for some great inspiration. According to Chanel, her time in the French Alps was able to elicit the right emotions to create their new single, The Woods. “The words speak of a sense of isolation while being in the wilderness,” she says,

adding the single was recorded a few months ago after their European tour. Telling the love story in The Woods is not all they’ve had on their plate recently – they’re cooking up something new to impress audiences. “We are getting giddy and excited about a few demo tracks. It’s sort of like the toddler phase of these songs. We’ll be prepping some of these new songs of ours to play for the first time (at Parklife).” Chanel says they’re looking forward to being seaside on Sunday 1 December at the Parklife Gourmet Food and Music Festival and to sharing the stage with such a unique line-up. “All the artists performing are talented and successful in each of their individual niches and we are excited to watch each of them – it’s great to see everyone on the same stage.” She adds: “I think I’m personally most excited to watch Sons of The East as I was lucky enough to watch them in Madrid a few months ago. “I did not know their music then and they had an incredible stage presence. I look forward to seeing them play to a South African crowd.” The food and music festival will take place at Muizenberg Park in Cape Town with performers Jeremy Loops, Matthew Mole, Sons of the East (Australia), Sean Koch and Diamond Thug taking to the stage to entertain audiences. Tickets are R295 for adults, R195 for under 18s and children aged six and under can enter free. V For more information, visit https:// parklife.co.za

Breathe in... exhale... and relax Local multimedia artist Karen Wykerd will open her solo exhibition, Exhale, this November at The Studio Art Gallery in Simon’s Town. In a departure from her usual subject matter, Wykerd leaves the busy streets of the city behind to explore the abundance of nature around Cape Town: capturing calm spaces where you can take a moment to exhale and let out the stresses of your daily life. She explores the moments spent picturing the warmth of the sun, its light glimmering through the leaves; the feel of water on her skin; the sound of wind rustling through branches and waves sighing on to the shore. In Exhale, a selection of paintings on canvas, wooden blocks and hand-marbled paper will be showcased. The process is an im-
portant part of the body of work, with elements of chance at play, acknowledging the necessity of exploring the unfamiliar to gain insight. This tranquil collection of works uses Wykerd’s recognisable translucent washes of colour around figures swimming, strolling and floating to create scenes of immersion in nature. The dreamily indistinct backgrounds and tranquil colour palette combine to give the viewers of her works moments of rest and reflection where they can be reacquainted with nature, and themselves. The exhibition will run from Thursday 14 to Wednesday 27 November, with the official opening taking place on Saturday 16 November at 15:00.

Tourism framework gets green light I am pleased to announce that the City of Cape Town’s Draft Tourism Development Framework (TDF) was adopted by council recently after the public participation process. Cape Town has vast cultural and heritage diversity and this gives us the opportunity to take a new immersive approach to cultural tourism. By taking this approach, with the core focus on creating more community-based offerings, I intend to make tourism a game-changer for our city. I have been working with my team on this exciting framework since I was appointed as the Mayco member for economic opportunities that includes the tourism portfolio one year ago. My immediate priority is to ensure the efficient implementation of the TDF so that we boost cultural experiences and help diversify tourism products. This will then translate into more involvement from specific communities who will benefit economically from their participation. The TDF provides a tourism development strategy and implementation framework for the City between 2019 and 2023. This framework will be the basis for the annual programme of work and for preparing our tourism budget for the next five years. The TDF builds on the previous framework and consists of five key goals which includes ensuring visitor comfort, improving and diversifying products and experiences, stimulating demand, general community involvement, benefits and support and planning and organising for growth. The newly developed tourist offerings will bring new products and exciting experiences to life in areas that were previously marginalised and excluded from the tourism landscape. I believe that products, such as the township cultural experience, will show that we are an inclusive city, ready to break barriers with ground-breaking tourism offerings that open up new opportunities. We are fully committed to the tourism sector and will invest in programmes and initiatives that foster economic growth in this industry. It, therefore, gives me great pleasure to also launch the Tourism Monitor programme, funded by the department of tourism. This programme will promote access to education and training opportunities to 50 school leavers by providing skills and knowledge linked to various local and national tourist sites. These monitors will be deployed to several areas and attractions throughout the entire metropole including Langa, Khayelitsha, Hout Bay and the CBD. The monitors will be entrusted with enhancing the experience and well-being of local and international tourists. Their tasks will include acting as a point of reference and offering recommendations to tourists visiting various popular sites. They will also assist tourists who have lost their bearings and require directions. These young monitors will also patrol identified tourist hotspots to ensure they are safe, and report any incidents to relevant enforcement agencies. Programmes like these prove that the City is serious about creating job opportunities for our unemployed youth. Safety is a top priority for the City, and we are putting various measures in place to make this city safer for tourists and residents alike, and it will also help promote a healthy tourism ecosystem. Tourism accounts for roughly 300 000 jobs in our city. This makes tourism a sector with great growth and employment potential. The City’s objective is to facilitate sustainable job creation. I want to do this by providing an environment in which “tourism-preneurs” can flourish and by transforming the tourism landscape in Cape Town into a thriving ecosystem. As a City, we are ready to take tourism to the next level. The TDF and monitors are just some of the steps my department are taking towards realising this vision.

Taxi challenges examined at workshop In an effort to resolve challenges facing the taxi industry, I held an intergovernmental workshop on public transport with the City of Cape Town. The workshop follows my commitment after a meeting with the leadership of the South African National Taxi Council (SANTACO) last month where we addressed challenges facing the taxi industry including the issuing of operating licences for minibus taxis, metre taxis and the issue of identification of e-hailing. In preparation for a formal consultation with the taxi industry, the province
and the City clarified processes and procedures around the issuing of operating licences and other related matters. Considerable progress was made which will enable me to take the matter forward with the taxi industry. I am committed to finding amicable solutions within the ambit of the law to ensure that people are transported to work safely and improve efficiency in the minibus-taxi industry which contributes massively to our economy. BONGINKOSI MADIKIZELA, MEC: Transport and public works
Find your dream, go after it Having a dream helps you to look beyond your current circumstances. A dream will help you to prioritise the most important things in your life. A dream makes even the small things that you do exciting, because you know that they are helping you get closer to reach-
ing that dream. Once you discover your dream, go after it. To develop your dream, think about it, be humble, have character, don’t be complacent – just keep on believing you can do it. MPENDULO NCUBUKEZI, Email
We can play our part in public safety Crime statistics released by Police Minister Bheki Cele recently should serve as a reminder to all South Africans to remain vigilant in their daily lives. If you study the report issued by the minister, it is clear that we need to be prepared to encounter an element of criminal activity when we leave our homes. The brave men and women of the SAPS are doing their best to arrest criminals and prevent crime, but you and I can also make a positive difference. Public spaces carry a range of safety challenges that we need to be aware of and prepared for. It is in these public spaces where opportunistic criminals might be looking out for soft, easy targets. This includes parking garages, parks, shopping centres, and other places where large groups of people provide easy cover for would-be criminals. In public spaces you should leave the expensive items such as jewels at home; if you have a daily walking schedule to and from the mall, vary it often so that
your movement does not become predictable, err on the side of caution. If someone stops you to ask for assistance, keep a safe distance away from them and keep an eye on other movement around you. Avoid drawing money from an ATM late at night, and if it is urgent rather consider going to an ATM in a well-lit space where a security officer is on duty. Leave the headphones at home. Anything that causes distraction is to be avoided. There is safety in numbers. Take a friend with you, so that you can look out for each other. No one likes to think about crime and about what it can do to you or a loved one. Sadly, it has become a reality of life that we have to be prepared for, and a subject we must address with our loved ones and our children. The best gift we can give is to make sure that the people we care about, know how to possibly avoid crime in public spaces. CHARNEL HATTINGH, Fidelity ADT
Cape Town one of world’s most beautiful Cape Town has come in at number seven on Flight Network’s list of the World’s Most Beautiful Cities for 2019. The list of 50 best cities in the world was compiled by Flight Network, a Canadian online travel agency. Cape Town remains one of the most beautiful cities in the eyes of the world, with much to offer visitors to our wonderful city. We are humbled that Cape Town has been named as the best location on the continent and hope that travellers continue to see Cape Town as a must-see destination. More than 300 000 job opportunities are supported by the local tourism industry so accolades such as these are important in sustaining the interest from the international community that continues to contribute towards job creation. The tourism sector has the biggest growth potential, and awards like these are necessary in helping to support our tourism stakeholders. According to the list, the top 10 most beautiful cities in the world are: Paris (France), New York (USA), London (England), Venice (Italy), Vancouver (Canada), Barcelona (Spain), Cape Town (South Africa), San Francisco (USA), Sydney (Australia) and Rome (Italy). The reviews and opinions of more than 1 000 travel writers, bloggers and travel agencies from all across the globe form the basis of the list. The only other African city to make the list is Marrakech (Morocco), which comes in at number 46. Cape Town is also competing in three categories in the World Travel Awards. Cape Town is currently the holder of the World’s Leading Festival and Events Destination title. Cape Town was again voted Africa’s Leading Festival and Events Destination for the second consecutive time at the recent Africa and Indian Ocean World Travel Awards in June this year. Table Mountain won the title of Africa’s Leading Tourist Attraction and Cape Town International Airport won Africa’s Leading Airport. All three contenders are up for the prestigious world titles at the 2019 World Travel Awards. The voting period closed on Sunday (10 November) and the winners will be announced in Oman (Middle East) on Thursday 28 November. DAN PLATO, Mayor of Cape Town
Musical’s message encourages youth to make positive choices This weekend I took 350 youth from areas across Cape Town to see the David Kramer musical, Danger In The Dark. The message of this musical has important lessons for the youth of today, especially those living in communities where crime and violence are challenges. Danger In The Dark remains relevant as it covers themes of domestic violence, gangsterism and drug abuse. There are many city programmes which work to address these challenges and we hope that the youngsters who see this show will be inspired to make positive choices in their life, be aware of the dangers of making the wrong choices, and instead work hard to succeed at their schooling
and life. David Kramer’s Danger in the Dark is a rework of the hit musical Poison, which he and the late Taliep Petersen wrote in the 1990s. The story takes place in 1995 on the Cape Flats when Pamela meets up with Juanita, a friend from her school days. She realises that Juanita is trapped in an abusive relationship with a drug lord and she is determined to help her friend leave. Pamela is drawn into dark and dangerous places and situations, yet she pursues against all odds for the safety and survival of her friend. One of the ways the City of Cape Town is addressing substance abuse is through
the Matrix programme. The City has recently opened its eighth clinic in Scottsdene, Kraaifontein. The other sites are Tafelsig; Albow Gardens; Delft South; Town 2, Khayelitsha; Parkwood; Ruimte Road, Manenberg and Eerste River. For the last financial year, 2 258 screenings were conducted at the City’s matrix sites with the clean drug test rate for clients at 83% during the same period. The treatment is free of charge. Those struggling with substance abuse can access help. Please contact 021 444 8444 or email: matrix@capetown.gov.za. DAN PLATO, Mayor of Cape Town
Charges laid for stolen plants On Wednesday 30 October at 10:56, three women were caught on a neighbourhood watch (NHW) camera pulling a plant out of the Silvermine Wetlands and taking it to their car. The car was a black Volvo hatchback with a learner driver sign in the left back window. They also had a good look at the Milkwoods that had been planted in memory of people before exiting to Fish
Hoek at the Pipe Bridge. To those ladies, I assume you have children, because of the L plate. Is this how you set an example to your children? Committing theft when we are all worried about the increase in crime? I also assume that by driving a Volvo you could afford to buy your own plants and not steal from a nature area. Unfortunately, we were not able to see your registra-
tion plate, so you got away with it. Shame on you! The same day, our Milkwoods were also spotted, on camera, being removed – a case has been made for the theft of Milkwoods from a nature area. We will not hesitate to lay further charges if any crime is picked up on the cameras. TERRY ROTHWELL, Riverine Rovers chair

Timmy Hansen of Sweden in action in the final. PHOTO: RASHIED ISAACS
Red-hot action excites fans R
ed-hot action filled the track at the Killarney International Speedway at the weekend with the final and deciding round of the World Rallycross (World RX) championship. In the end, Sweden’s Timmy Hansen was crowned as champion on account of a count-back of wins over Norway’s Andreas Bakkerud. The Cape Town crowd was treated to a spectacular and bruising season finale as the two ended on even points, with Bakkerud second in the race behind winner Niclas Grönholm and Hansen in fourth behind Timur Timerzianov after 60 races in 10 countries on four continents throughout the year. Timmy (Peugeot) arrived in Cape Town just a single world championship point clear of title rival Bakkerud (Audi) and younger Hansen brother and teammate Kevin another five points back in third. After the qualifying rounds and semi-finals, Timmy’s championship lead was only two points, with just the final left to race and eight points on the table. Timmy started the final from pole position from Bakkerud, Grönholm, Kevin, Timur Timerzianov and Timo Scheider as the
top six lined up two-by-two to decide the world championship over six scintillating laps in sweltering heat to the backdrop of Table Mountain. Bakkerud made a perfect start to lead from a combative Timmy, but the three world championship contenders became embroiled in a controversial incident, when Timmy made a move on Bakkerud and the two tangled and went off as Kevin also went off in avoidance at the bottom hairpin. The upshot was that Grönholm led the way from the recovered Bakkerud, Timerzianov and the similarly recovered Timmy, who had made quick work of a struggling Scheider to take a vital fourth place. Kevin then had a second spectacular incident at the same corner where he, his brother and Bakkerud had collided on the opening lap, as Grönholm led a disgruntled Bakkerud, Timerzianov and a limping Kevin home after Scheider ground to a halt. “It sounds fantastic — almost unreal that you call me world champion,” Timmy responded to a question on his taking the title. “I am super happy for the sport - the last race with everything on the line was nervewrecking, but I kept focussing and deliv-
ered a strong performance race by race through the weekend — there was no room for error — not the smallest mistake. “I know Andreas is upset,” said Timmy. referring to the final race incident. “I went for the inside, it was a hard move and it still needs to be investigated, but this season is the best in my career with four race wins and now the title — it’s a dream come true and I am so happy for the team — we are first and third in the drivers title with Kevin and me and we are makers champions too — the car has been brilliant every race. I still can’t yet take it in!” “I am proud of myself — I won the battle today — the best reaction at the start to lead away,” Bakkerud admitted. “But unfortunately I will not comment more after what happened and I just want to say huge thanks to my team and our sponsor and to everyone else — especially Cape Town — it was fantastic as always — Thank you South Africa. For the rest, right now I don’t really care.” In other action, Swede Oliver Eriksson delivered a dominant RX2 victory over Jamaican Fraser McConnell and Sami-Matti Trogen, to wrap up that title over Ben-Philip Gundersen, who pipped Jesse Kallio to
the title second, while Zak Groenewald took local BMW E36 Cup honours. Also Shaun Cope won the front-wheel drive class in his VW Golf and rally lass Megan Verlaque took Speedcar buggy honours. Locals like Saadiqah Alexander of Belgravia lapped up the action. “The family is all into drifting, that’s how we grew up. My father has a Honda S2000 and a Nissan 350Z, so we are into cars. We always come watch. So we have been here a couple of times. We just watched all the rallies, we liked the BMWs,” she said. South African motorsport legend Sarel van der Merwe was also in attendance: “It is wonderful having a world championship in South Africa in motorsport. I think it is the most exciting form of motorsport anyway, because there are so many good drivers,” he said, adding that he wished World RX was around during his competitive racing days, and implored locals to keep supporting the event in the future. “They should just know that it is one of the most exciting events in the country, so I don’t know why they just don’t pitch up.”
