KOMMETJIE
Grannies knit for kids RACINE EDWARDES @RaeEdwardes
A
knitting group of Kommetjie residents – Elma Edwards, Jill Dix and Charlotte Kilpatrick – have put their skills to good use by donating their creations to several organisations that work with children and, most recently, by supporting a Wynberg Children’s Protection Court initiative. Elma and Charlotte began knitting more than eight years ago. They started with blanket squares and beanies, then progressed to teddy bears, and today they knit bunnies. “We thought it would be a good idea to get the elderly people together to chat but instead of just chatting, we started knitting the blanket squares,” explains Charlotte. These knitted items have been donated to various causes, including Living Hope, Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital and a safe house in Ocean View. Their most recent beneficiary is the court where one of the magistrates has begun to offer the children, who are victims of abuse or neglect, a toy to take home. “We’re very happy that it goes to a good cause because the children need it for comfort and love and so that they have something of their own to go away with after a sad day in court,” says Charlotte. Elma, as one of the longstanding members of the group, has had many years of practice making the toys. She says it takes about a day to complete one new teddy, affording her plenty of time to make enough to try and fulfil the needs of the court which sees numerous children entering daily. Despite struggling to find donors, the group continues to produce their teddies with wool that they’ve bought at their own expense and making use of old blankets and cushion inners, off-cuts and extra bits of wool and ribbon, laces, and old socks. “The whole purpose of this is to try spread the word of this magistrate‘s initiative,” says Jill. They hope other courts in Mitchell’s Plain, Retreat and any other place where children experience trauma will take note and start something similar. Karen Kilpatrick, Charlotte’s daughter, says: “It’s just helping someone else who is

The second annual mGenAfrica quiz competition aims to inspire Grade 12 learners to consider careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (Stem).
Career choices stem from quiz competition The second annual mGenAfrica quiz competition, held on Saturday 14 September, saw 366 Grade 12 learners from 40 schools across the Western Cape gather at Wynberg Girls’ High School. The quiz competition, piloted last year in the Metro South Education District (MSED), included five districts this year. The competition aims to inspire Grade 12 learners to consider careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (Stem). Learners competed as either individuals or teams in various heats using the quiz Moodle platform which mirrors the contents and activities found on the mGenAfrica platform. The online platform and mobile app – an initiative of the University of Cape Town (UCT) in partnership with the Western Cape Education Department (WCED) – helps learners gauge their knowledge; and prepare for tests and exams through online quizzes. Dr Vicky Nembaware, who conceived this project, says: “mGenAfrica aims to inspire learners to choose careers in life science in an easily assessable manner”. In addition to quiz and engagement activities, mGenAfrica’s website freely pro-
vides videos that explain complex life sciences concepts, a section for learners to translate or simplify life science terms and a career portal. Learners are also able to connect with UCT researchers during live chat sessions and draw inspiration from a variety of career spotlight profiles. Launched in August 2018 to promote engagement between high school learners and research staff working in genomics and other health research fields across Africa, the platform aims to make learning life sciences, especially genetics, fun. And that is exactly what learners, competing on the day, had. In between heats, energy levels were kept high with life science-themed karaoke and dance-offs in the main hall, interspersed with inspiring career talks by UCT researchers. Dr Paul Steyn from the university’ department of human biology was one of the speakers who held his audience spellbound. He wowed learners with a demonstration of the cardiac system using a virtual reality system. Deon Khan, e-learning advisor for MSED, says having researchers share their experiences with learners is invalu-
able. “I’m very pleased with the kind of effort made by UCT to expose the learners to a number of career opportunities,” he said. “These researchers are role models that can inspire learners to look beyond the more well-known or obvious career paths.” The day’s activities culminated in a final quiz-off. In the individual category, Mbasakazi Songololo from Spine Road High School was the overall winner. She was followed closely by Charles Martin from South Peninsula High School in second position and Merel van den Brink from Parklands College in third. In the group category, South Peninsula High School came first, followed by Sinethemba High School in second position and Fairmont High School in third. Songololo was rewarded with a trophy, laptop, as well as the opportunity to attend the 13th African Society of Human Genetics Conference in Tanzania in September. All other winners received scientific calculators, trophies, memory sticks and backpacks. And although not everyone who participated could be crowned winners, all did walk away richer.

SUN VALLEY
Zone Radio makes way for local talent RACINE EDWARDES @RaeEdwardes
Z
one Radio’s Richard Griggs and Janet Scanlon are looking for local talent to get on the air once the station integrates from their online platform to an official FM station, later this year. Griggs began his radio journey with Fine Music Radio, where he was for 12 years, before launching Zone Radio online in 2011. Zone Radio was a streaming station that he knew would fulfil the needs of the listener by playing the songs they request. In addition to catering to the needs of the listener, he also created a platform to find and train radio talent – in an industry where large corporations often don’t make room for people without experience and formal training. Griggs explains: “I felt that young talents were not being given the opportunity to develop their craft. The best radio presenters are the ones that have learned by practical experience.” Many people walked through his doors and he was able to fill his line-up with more than 100 local talents from across the country. After the station fell on hard times, they stopped streaming the live shows and began playing music only. Now, after working tirelessly to get the station up and running again, Griggs and Scanlon have acquired the permits to air on low frequency from Sun Valley; and residents within a five to 10km radius will be able to access exclusive, hyper-local content. To get this hyper-local content, the station is calling on residents from Ocean View, Masiphumelele, Capri,
Sun Valley, Fish Hoek, Silverglade, The Lakes and Noordhoek to get down to the station and audition to go live on air once it has launched, which is set for November. Griggs’ promise to aspiring radio presenters is that his training will develop their skills enough to open doors to other prominent commercial radio stations. He boasts training Ayanda Nyathi, who is now a contributor at Eye Witness News (EWN) in Johannesburg; and Brett Kannemeyer, a controller and engineer at CapeTalk 567, to name a few. Kannemeyer said in a testimonial: “Zone Radio launched my career in radio through the passion invested in training and development. The methods applied have equipped me to reach my goals and aspirations with firsthand experience, as well as exposure to the fast-paced industry.” Griggs plans to put together an exciting line-up which will, in the future, possibly be made up of sport segments, finance advice, feature local people who are doing great things in the community, a spiritual segment and so much more. The station also prides itself on playing as much local music as possible, providing a platform for unsigned musicians, in addition to playing a wide array of songs to cater to every musical taste. You have the chance to get the training you need in radio by auditioning at Zone Radio too. V Send a WhatsApp to 078 564 4793 or an email to janet@univox.co.za to book an audition or find out more information.

REDHILL
Celebrating land they once owned RACINE EDWARDES @RaeEdwardes
M
ore than 72 families were forcibly removed from their homes in Redhill between 1967 and 1970; and still today they return home to celebrate the land they once owned and raise awareness of their plight to get their land back. “We’re fighting as a community to get the land back because as the community of Redhill we want to go back home,” says George Lawrence, a resident who was removed from the area. He says about 85% of the families who were removed from the area, which now belongs to Sanparks, were relocated to Ocean View; with the rest being placed in Retreat, Grassy Park and Mitchell’s Plain. Lawrence’s sister, Margaret Constant told News24: “I was about 9-years-old. My parents got a letter and we were told that we couldn’t stay here anymore. I couldn’t understand why. To us, this was our home. I was heartbroken.” On Saturday 28 September a number of displaced families gathered once again, as they have done each year for the past 12 years, to commemorate the removal of their families.
“We go back to Redhill every year because we’re fighting to get the land back,” says Lawrence. “We lost our homes and our livestock. It’s so lovely up there and that’s why we want to go back home.” Some people have been compensated for the removal of their families, but for many the goal is still to make their way back to the area that was once home. The annual gathering takes place at a home, which was built in the early 1900s, near the Kleinplaas Dam. Lawrence says people had inhabited the land for over 200 years before their families were removed. The graves, houses and ruins from the people who once lived in Redhill – and Lawrence’s very own relatives – are still there today. The group prepared for the commemoration by cleaning and pruning the area around the home last week Monday and Tuesday; and celebrated the occasion last Saturday by playing board games, sharing the stories of their childhoods and braaing as a community. He added: “We get the families together to talk about how we’re going to get the land back.”
Christopher McKeith, Peter Kallis, Ivan van Sitters, Cecil van Sitters, Gavin Brooks and Colin van Sitters commemorate the forced evictions at Redhill.
No arrests made for Ou Kaapse Weg deaths NETTALIE VILJOEN On Saturday 21 September a bakkie transporting 23 contract workers overturned at around 01:30 on Ou Kaapse Weg in Steenberg, leaving nine dead and 14 injured. Capt Paul Alexander of Kirstenbosch po-
lice station has confirmed that six of the nine bodies found at the scene have been identified, with the tenth person having succumbed to his injuries in hospital later that day. The workers were being transported from work, near Noordhoek, to their
homes. While no arrests have been made as yet, Alexander says: “We don’t want to speculate at this time since an arrest might be made. We don’t want to say what we think happened, we will rather wait and say what we know happened.” Those who were injured were taken to Victoria Hospi-
tal and Groote Schuur Hospital. Alexander confirms that those with serious injuries are in critical but stable condition. The case is still under investigation. V Anyone with information can call the station on 021 702 8900 and ask for either Capt Alexander or the investigating officer, Const Kemelo Thelejane.

Illegal dumping and littering will cost you

LAVENDER HILL
Student (20) wants to keep kids off streets RACINE EDWARDES @RaeEdwardes
R
euben Isaacs, a 20-year-old student of False Bay College in Fish Hoek, is not content simply completing his qualification in business – he also wants to help keep the children of his community in Lavender Hill off the streets and out of harm’s way. Four months ago, Isaacs opened a Sunday school at his home in De Villiers Court, the flats next to his former high school, Lavender Hill High School, where he was head boy years before. The Sunday school operates every second Sunday of the month, with the hope of instilling good values in the children who are far too easily influenced by the social ills and criminal elements in the community. The need for this type of service is evident by the growing number of children he cares for each time. “We get about 30, 35, 39 children; and that is only the court’s children,” he says. The children range from the age of four to 13. “We talk to them, teach them what is wrong and what is right, talk to them about the future and then we give them something to eat, tell them a scripture and sing.” Feeding the tummies of almost 40 children is no easy task, but Isaacs does not do it alone. “The church will take up a special offering every second Sunday (for the Sunday
school), then we will make bread and buy chips and give them some juice,” he says, adding that they were able to give the children something extra special at the last gathering. “Last week we gave them ‘love boxes’. It’s stationery, books and toys. Our church got them from people overseas.” Pastor Charles Daniels from Maranatha Morning Star Church assists Isaacs with the children and the donations for food, as well as Aneecka Scholls and Isaacs’ mother, Mildred Moleon. Aside from lending his hand for the betterment of the community, Isaacs also has his sights firmly set on his future. He says: “I’m doing three years at False Bay College (studying towards a business qualification) and then I’m going to do another two years at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology to become a lecturer in Business.” He adds that splitting his time can be difficult, but he’s passionate about all he does. “I make time for both of them (the children and his studies). I study during the night and I’m also the worship team leader of our church. During the week the children also come to me so I can help them with their homework.” Isaacs is encouraging more children to attend his Sunday school. V Call Reuben Isaacs on 060 555 7926 for enquiries or more information.
Strict measures are in place to stop dumping of rubble and other waste. If found guilty, repeat offenders could have their vehicles forfeited, receive fines and impoundment fees of up to R22 400. “The City’s Anti-littering and Dumping Task Team will go out in full force to bring those who dump to book,” read a statement from the City on Tuesday 24 September. The City’s law enforcement department, working closely with other departments such as the metro police, traffic services, water and reticulation and environmental resource management, will implement a zero tolerance enforcement programme. For July and August, the law enforcement department has issued at least 905 littering fines and 168 dumping fines. Mayco member for safety and security JP Smith says: “The City will follow a renewed and integrated approach to clamp down on those who illegally litter and dump waste in public open spaces, parks and City property. “Illegal dumping has a serious effect on
the natural and built environment and the City has the responsibility on behalf of residents to protect the environment.” Smith says apart from destroying the environment, including contaminating subterranean and surface water resources as well as possible health risks, dumping can also damage city infrastructure. According to the statement, seizure and impoundment of the vehicle used in dumping will be for the expense of the owner or the person holding or operating the vehicle. The vehicle will not be released unless the case is concluded. Impoundment fees will cost dumpers: R8 700 for the first offence, R11 700 for the second offence and R17 400 for the third offence. In addition to these, the offender will also be issued with a R5 000 for contravening the by-law. Smith says the City requests the public to assist law enforcement officials in reporting any illegal dumping activity “so that the Task Team can act swiftly”. V Residents can report illegal dumping by phoning 0860 103 089, 107 from a landline or 021 480 7700 from a cellphone.
Be smart with your butt NOMZAMO YUKU @NomzamoYuku Smokers from around Cape Town are urged to play their part in creating a cleaner and healthier environment by safely disposing of their cigarette butts. The plea was made during the launch of the Unsmoke Awareness Campaign held in St George’s Mall in Cape Town’s central business district on Thursday 26 September. The campaign is in partnership with Philip Morris South Africa (PMSA) – an affiliate of one of the world’s largest tobacco companies, Philip Morris International, the City of Cape Town and the Central City Improvement District (CCID). The day started with a public display of 80kg of cigarette butts collected from across the city earlier in the day. This was the start of raising awareness and making people realise the problem is real. According to the speakers, most butts are found in public spots, either by the call centres or entrances to most workplaces. As part of the campaign, more butt bins will be distributed in places that would be identified as hotspots, and portable bags will also be made available for private use. Marcelo Nico, the managing director at
PMSA, says the goal is to encourage a behavioural change. “If you don’t smoke, don’t start. If you are a smoker, quitting is the best choice you can make. If you don’t quit, change to a better alternative. In this way, we can unsmoke ourselves, our family, our friends, our city, and our world,” he says. Xanthea Limberg, Mayco member for water and waste, welcomed the initiative saying it is going to play a positive role in finding solutions to the littering problem that affects the city at large. She says keeping the city clean is a shared responsibility. “It’s great to see companies proactively taking the initiative to assist with tackling the broader challenge of litter in our city. The City is happy to have supported this initiative, and encourage others to take similar action,” says Limberg. Tasso Evangelinos, the CCID’s chief executive officer, says it is exciting that the company is joining the fight to keep the CBD and surroundings clean by encouraging smokers to change their behaviour. He says everyone needs to play their part as litter “is an avoidable problem, which costs money to clear”. He says the CCID has already placed 300 cigarette butt bins at hotspots around the CBD, which are cleaned monthly, to address the problem.

Engines to rev at Killarney S
tart your engines for the fourth annual Killarney Motor Show, at the Cape town home of motorsport, Killarney International Raceway, on Sunday 27 October. The organisers are taking the revs up again with close to 1 300 vehicles on show and more than 100 stalls selling just about anything you can think of for your car – and your tummy – with a huge variety of watering holes serving ice-cold drinks, sit-down eats and takeaway vendors. There’s a new, more accessible layout, an entirely new category of exhibitors and fascinating new displays to delight spectators and keep them at the show all day, from when gates open at 10:00 until the show closes at 17:00, including live music and a funfair in the pits paddock offering exciting rides for children of all ages. This year’s show will feature no less than four active circuits, starting with the tar oval, where the Cape Hell Drivers will be running a full tar oval racing event at the show. Next door to that is the arena section; as its name suggests, that’s where you’ll experience non-stop entertainment including stunts, drifting, burnouts, classic motorcycles and even vintage tractor parades and tug-o-war contests. There will be public karting on the one-
kilometre ‘K’ circuit, to give a real taste of how Formula One greats Michael Schumacher, Lewis Hamilton and Ayrton Senna started their racing careers, while the new car dealers have their own dedicated testdrive circuit for the first time, offering testdrives on the latest models all day – including electric cars – another first for the Killarney Motor Show. Trials expert and Dakar Rally hero, Kobus Potgieter will show how to ride over all sorts of natural obstacles, while international stunt stars, brothers Bruce and Brent le Riche will amaze you with impossible stunts on two wheels, including riding almost four metres straight up the side of a truck! In addition, the new car dealers will have their own dedicated test drive circuit for the first time, a one-kilometre loop around the bank on Fastron Corner and through the drag-strip paddock, offering test drives on the latest models all day.
