which we call #PlasticFreeMzansi, is an intensive and focused media campaign that responsibly educates, inspires and informs South Africans about plastic,” Omardien explains. Part of their clean-up arsenal is the Dirty Dozen Cleanup™ tool, developed by Prof Peter Ryan from the University of Cape Town’s Marine Research Institute. It tracks the top 12 most commonly found plastic litter items and has been monitoring beach litter in South Africa since the 1980s to understand its impact on seabirds that ingest it. The tool has been integrated into all of TBCO’s activities, including the internationally-practised Plastic-free July campaign which they have adapted for the South African context. “In 2019, Twyg and TBCO partnered with WWF South Africa on #PlasticFreeMzansi to ask South Africans to pledge to refuse single-use plastic items, most notably earbud stems, chip packets and plastic bottles. A series of very successful beach clean-ups were
held. The campaign ended on Friday 31 July with a fantastic Green Carpet event sponsored by Pernod Ricard in Granger Bay. “We reached more than 630 influencers and volunteers at five beach clean-up events collected one ton of waste – 6 091 sweet wrappers, 5 511 lollypop sticks and 5 431 straws.” To amplify their message, TBCO hosts at least four Dirty Dozen clean-ups during the month of July. Other important projects include the Tidal Pool programme, New Moon clean-ups, and the Youth Beach Clean-up programme, among others. The Tidal Pool programme, which has been held for three years in collaboration with several partners to protect Cape Town’s tidal pools, noted a significant achievement. “Due to the efforts of many individuals and groups, the City of Cape Town has finally replaced its harmful cleaning practices with new protocols,” Omardien explains.

espite not securing the win in the Turtle Island Restoration Network’s Marine Debris Prevention and Awareness Grant on Friday 26 February, local nominee The Beach Co-op (TBCO) will still push forward on their priority campaigns. The grant, according to the network’s competition page, “seeks to support research and conservation projects around the world relating to a massive and growing concern for ocean conservation: marine debris”. TBCO had to battle it out with 35 non-profit conservation initiatives from around the world. The winner was chosen through a count of votes. More than 18 000 people voted. In the end, the $5 000 (R75 605) grant went to Earthlanka, a youth-based organisation working on empowering youth to con-
serve the coasts and marine resources in the Indian Ocean. According to Aaniyah Omardien, founder and director of the initiative, they are working to keep South Africa’s beaches clean and to protect and enhance ocean health. “We believe that behavioural change is effected by individual awareness, emotional connection and enabled action. Our work, therefore, focuses on building an ocean-loving culture and is supported by scientific knowledge and lived experience. We celebrate the ocean and our relationship to and dependence on it through music, art and sporting events, as well as regular cleanups,” she says. Receiving the grant would have given TBCO the boost needed for their projects, one of which is the four-year-old annual Plastic-Free Mzansi campaign. “We have been hosting a Plastic-free July campaign annually for the past three years in collaboration with a non-profit organisation (NPO) called Twyg.

eople’s Post journalists Racine Edwardes and Samantha Lee-Jacobs have taken honours at the annual Forum of Community Journalists’ awards held virtually on Friday 26 February. The awards recognised work published in community newspapers around South African in 2019. The ceremony was meant to happen last year, but was delayed because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Edwardes won the sport writing category, while Lee-Jacobs placed third in the columns category. The judges said Edwardes’ portfolio of sport stories was especially impressive for her use of human interest angles. Lee-Jacobs was also a finalist in the digital reporting and headlines categories for work published across People’s Post and sister publications TygerBurger and City Vision. TygerBurger journalists Carina Roux and Desiree Rorke also featured at the awards with Rorke placing second in the human interest and hard news categories. She was also a finalist in the journalist of the year category. Roux was a finalist in

These are: carrier bags, chip packets, cigarette lighters, cooldrink bottles, cooldrink lids, earbuds, fishing line, light sticks, plastic lollipop sticks, straws, sweet wrappers and water bottles. Participants work in groups and record all the collected items, paying specific attention to the Dirty Dozen items. At the end of each clean-up, the data is collated and contributes to research tracking the different sources of marine litter. Studies have shown that millions of seabirds have ingested plastic and a staggering number of sea animals die each year from plastic ingestion.

“Plastic doesn’t break down; it doesn’t degrade and become part of the natural system again. In fact, plastic breaks up. It breaks up into smaller and smaller pieces until it becomes small enough, not only for small fish to mistake it for food, but research has found that even plankton is now mistaking this ‘forever material’ for food and consuming it, introducing it into the food chain at the lowest level,” the Aquarium said in a statement. The clean-up will take place from 09:00 to 11:00, at the parking lot at Beach Road and Fritz Sonnenberg Road intersection. Participants should bring sunblock, a hat, water (in a reusable bottle), reusable gloves (like the ones you’d use for gardening or doing dishes), and a smile. Remember to wear your mask in public.

‘Kos Gangsters’ celebrate one year RACINE EDWARDES racine.edwardes@media24.com
T
he Ocean View Organic Farmers, an initiative by the “Kos Gangsters” as they call themselves, celebrated one year of pioneering small-scale farming in Ocean View on Tuesday 16 February. People’s Post reported on the work of the local farmers last year (“ ‘Gangsters’ digging in”, 17 November), where the initiative’s chair Sophia Grodes spoke about the difference the farmers had made in the community since the beginning of their internship in 2019. Since their completion of the programme and development of the farm at Ocean View Secondary School, they have continued to make great strides. “It’s been two years since the internship and one year on our own as a cooperative. In this year, we managed to register the place, to get our permits for Covid-19 and we’re just going from strength to strength here,” said an emotional Grodes on the day of the anniversary. “And during Covid, we went through our hardships because we lost family members, and Ocean View was hungry and we were in the right place at the right time to feed Ocean View – that was something great that came out of here.” Nicky Jacobs, the farm manager, adds that it was not an easy road; dealing with vandalism of the growing vegetables and the disappointment of crops that did not grow to their full potential. “It’s been a tough year – we had our ups
and downs and there were times we wanted to quit, but every morning you get up, see the garden and it gives you inspiration to get up and do a better job tomorrow. There were failures, but when you’re in this garden, you just seem to get your failures right and we just get stronger with every plant.” Despite the group’s now two years of experience, the group’s treasurer Merna Booysen says the learning never ends. “The learning process was, for me, very difficult and I’m still learning all the time. But I’m happy to be working with this team and I’m sure we’re going to go far.” The cooperative is confident for the future developments of the farm, with lots of plans in mind, Grodes divulges to People’s Post. “We are going to have a pay-what-you-can café to give Ocean View (residents) a restaurant experience because most people in Ocean View never had a sit-down in a restaurant. This (The Hoenderhok café run by the group at the farm) is the first restaurant in the history of Ocean View,” she explained. Other plans include tours of the farm which commenced on Friday 26 February; a soup kitchen to be run for the local clinic; expansion of their operations and later job creation; and a feeding scheme to provide food for the vulnerable women and children identified in the Cape Town Metro. “There’s opportunity here, there’s potential here and everyone needs to become farmers,” said Grodes. She concluded with a quote: “If you love Mother Earth, the soil will love you back.”
Pets need loving homes On Saturday 6 March, those who have been looking for an adorable furry friend to join their family will have the chance to take their pick of the litter during Tears Animal Rescue’s Adoptathon day in partnership with Adopt-a-Pet. With the passing of Adopt-a-Pet’s founder and funder Cicely Blumberg, the shelter is no longer able to continue running and will be transferring its remaining 31 dogs and three cats to Tears’ shelter in Sunnydale, to be integrated into the adoption programme. Co-founder and director of Tears Marilyn Hoole says: “The passing of my dear friend and Adopt-a-Pet founder Cicely Blumberg has resulted in a gaping hole in the animal welfare and compassion education sectors in Cape Town. Cicely was a tireless crusader for human and animal justice, and dedicated her life’s work to improving the lives of pets and pet owners in low-income communities across the Cape Flats. It’s tragic that the shelter is no longer sustainable, but we are pleased to be able to assist Adopt-aPet in providing a safe haven and hopefully rehoming the remaining dogs and cats that are still at the shelter.”
Adopt-a-Pet is a Philippi-based shelter which had been running for 17 years, rescuing and rehoming companion animals in need. In an effort to find homes for all the deserving cats and dogs, Tears will be opening up their cattery and kennels to anyone who is looking for a pet. With only the last batch of animals left to be adopted from Adopt-aPet’s group, Tears is appealing to locals to come and take home a new friend on the adoption day. Luke Kruyt, Tears kennel manager, says: “Tears doesn’t have the space to take all Adopt-A-Pet animals at one time, so we’re hoping to increase our adoptions on the day to ensure that we can integrate these animals as soon as possible.” The Adoptathon will take place at the Kennel and the cattery, both in Sunnydale. Anyone who is interested in adopting needs to complete the adoption questionnaire ahead of the event for a perfect “match-ability” between pet and pet owner.

Read Aloud Day sets record A total of 3 million children were reached as part of the World Read Aloud Day initiative on Wednesday 3 February, setting a new record in South Africa. Nal’ibali – the national reading-for-enjoyment campaign – has for the past eight years been celebrating the day by calling on the public to help them read a single story out loud to children across the country in their home language. This year, Nal’ibali received pledges from thousands of South Africans committing to read to 3 004 896 children. “Reading aloud is a fundamental building block of literacy. It is how we introduce books and reading to children and motivate them to learn to read and write for themselves. A basic foundational skill which un-

derpins all school learning, reading is what we need to be focussing on right now if we want to help children catch up on the schooltime they lost due to Covid-19 last year,” says Yandiswa Xhakaza, Nal’ibali CEO. Nal’ibali is excited to have seen thousands of individuals and organisations pledge to read with their children this World Read Aloud Day. The campaign also offers free training on reading and sharing stories with children at www.nalibali.mobi. Nal’ibali encourages locals to join them, either by starting a reading routine with their children, or sustaining one by accessing its free children’s stories from its data-free website, www.nalibali.org, or by sending “Stories” on Whatsapp to 060 044 2254.

or those who live in Cape Town, and especially in the South Peninsula near Masiphumelele and Capri, the mere mention of Living Hope elicits feelings of empathy and compassion. This follows after decades of work with the vulnerable and it is for the organisation’s continuous hard work that the Rotary Club Cape of Good Hope has acknowledged Living Hope with the Service Above Self Award. The non-profit organisation (NPO), which celebrates 21 years this year, has been bringing aid and relief to the most vulnerable members of under-resourced communities through the collection and distribution of donated goods, HIV/Aids programmes, development and education. They service communities such as Fish Hoek, Capri, Masiphumelele, Ocean View, Red Hill, Overcome Heights, Muizenberg, Capricorn and Mzamomhle. Currently, they are one of the organisations spearheading relief efforts for the over 5 000 victims of the most recent Masiphumelele fire which razed more than 1 000 shacks in December last year. “Of 410 homes that have been completed so far (at the time of the interview), we have provided aid to about 370. Everyone gets brand new pots, pans, cutlery, crockery, bedding, linen, towels, curtains and a form of a mat. And every day, as the houses are built, we go in and furnish them,” says the organisation’s co-founder Pastor John Thomas. But, he adds, he and the dedicated team who work tirelessly for others do not do it for the recognition. “We serve people because they have needs and because we should care for humanity. But it is nice when people notice what you’ve done. We’re not doing it be-

In a letter to People’s Post, the club’s secretary Bev Frieslich said: “The highest distinction that our Rotary Club could bestow on a local organisation, was presented to Pastor John and his wife Avril Thomas of Living Hope, by president Koos Burger of the Rotary Club Cape of Good Hope, in recognition of the 20 years of distinguished ‘Service Above Self’ that Living Hope has given in the Deep South areas of the Cape of Good Hope Peninsula; and in so doing, exemplify the ethos of the objectives of Rotary and the principles.” Thomas says this award is not just in recognition of his and his wife’s work – it is an award for the entire organisation and all the staff who give selflessly of their time.

No-waste bin trial at Miller’s Point I
n an effort to protect the unique coastal environment of Miller’s Point, the area is being tested as a waste bin-free zone. The pilot project is centered around the idea that all waste should be taken home with visitors once they leave. This is because there are no shops or commercial outlets at the site and everything that comes into the area is brought in by the visitors. Waste must, therefore, be taken home with them, the reasoning goes. A similar approach was taken in Taiwan when its Waste Disposal Act was introduced in 1998. Waste reduction became a priority, extra funds were made available to create recycling facilities and a penalty system was introduced for household waste. During an interview with news broadcaster BBC, waste researcher Nate Maynard said this resulted in the public turning to public bins to reduce their costs. This idea was stopped abruptly when public bins were removed. Essentially, it is Maynard’s belief that the removal of public bins facilitated Taiwan’s transformation into one of the most effective recycling countries in the world – and one of the cleanest (“How getting rid of dustbins
helped Taiwan clean up its cities”, BBC, 28 May 2020). In the South African context, this may be more difficult to achieve with a lack of education surrounding litter and waste. The City of Cape Town’s recreation and parks and environmental management departments say they are up for the challenge. The trial includes the picnic site, public boat launch site, and tidal pool area at Miller’s Point south of Simon’s Town. In the past, the use of bins in this remote area has proven to be more of a nuisance than anything else, as they are knocked over by the wind, or the local baboon troop, with litter being blown across the coastal landscape by the strong south-easterly winds. Signs have been installed around the area to inform visitors that there are no bins for waste and they are requested to participate by taking responsibility for their own waste and taking it home with them. The City says the project has been successful so far. “The public’s response to the new approach has been encouraging and, if successful, we may consider expanding the nowaste bin zone to other remote coastal areas,” read a statement.
March of the Penguin at Two Oceans Aquarium It is “March of the Penguin” at the Two Oceans Aquarium. During March, the aquarium will share intriguing facts and information about penguins from around the world, like “What do penguins eat?”, “How long do they live?”, “How to speak like a penguin”, and a whole lot more. On social media there will be videos, Instagram stories, Facebook updates, and the aquarium website will be humming (or should that be braying?) with penguin blogs, some extra special visuals, and arts and crafts. At the aquarium, visitors will be able to follow a QR code-led tour through the, by using their cell phones to scan QR codes that have been strategically placed at various exhibits. These codes will open up a wonderful world of penguin information, bringing facts, visuals and fun activities into the palms of visitors’ hands. Along with March of the Penguin, everyone who joins the aquarium’s membership programme in March, will automatically be entered into a competition to win a prize valued at R10 000 (including a penguin experience, vouchers and gift cards). All you have to do is become an annual
member of the Two Oceans Aquarium, and you will be automatically entered into the draw. You can also join the competition when you visit the aquarium; just pop in at the visitors’ centre at the entrance of the aquarium. On Saturday 13 March, there will be a special members’ event that will focus specifically on penguins. The aquarium’s penguin keepers will share stories about the very special birds that they look after. Visitors can also take advantage of the aquarium’s “After 3 Special” currently on until Wednesday 31 March. This means that you can purchase discounted tickets from the aquarium’s ticket office after 15:00. These tickets can only be purchased at the aquarium and are only valid for the day that they are purchased on. Here is an interesting penguin fact: Did you know African penguins thrive on oily anchovies and sardines? And remember to, always choose sustainable seafood to help penguins. V Visit the Two Oceans Aquarium’s website https:/ /www.aquarium.co.za/content/members/membership to join as a member online and to see all the information and Ts & Cs for the competition.

Local cyclists race in Egypt AVRIL FILLIES AVRIL.FILLIES@MEDIA24.COM
J
ustin Chesterton from Meadowridge is one of the four cyclists from Kinetic Cycling Club in Bellville who is part of the South African team competing at the Continental Road and Track Championships in Cairo later this month. “I am very excited to be representing my country as well as the opportunity to see a new country. I’ve only competed in the European Youth Tour in Assen in Holland. I was doing online school when I received the news that I was selected. I don’t know who is competing from other countries, but I’ll compete to the best of my abilities to make my country proud,” said Chesterton, speaking before the team left for Egypt on Friday 26 February. He admires Chris Froome, the British cyclist who has won seven Grand Tours, including four editions of the Tour de France, one Giro d’Italia and the Vuelta a Espana twice, plus several other stage races. He also won two Olympic bronze medals in road time trials, in 2012 and 2016.
“I admire him as he had difficult challenges in getting to where he is, but he was able to overcome them and succeed. The Tour de France is the biggest race to compete in as the best riders race there. We will be back on Monday 8 March, but we would have to complete the Covid test 72 hours before we leave and return, but I don’t know how the regulations will affect me. In other years we would have a chance to go sightseeing, but with Covid it will be difficult,” Justin says. When he is not cycling, he is doing athletics or another aerobic sport. Still on his bucket list is to compete in the World Champs. “My parents have the biggest influence on my cycling career as they got me started in cycling and support my cycling in every way. Dedication is the most important attribute that you must have if you want to make your cycling career a success. My request to motorists is to give us a little more room,” he says. Joining Chesterton as one of the four local cyclists from Cape Town is Amber Hindmarch, who is a junior female cyclist from Pinelands. “I am so excited to be racing in Cairo and
cannot wait. It is a dream come true and will be the first time that I am participating outside of South Africa. I have participated in the SA Omnium Track Championships, Western Cape Road and Track Championships and I have done the Cape Town Cycle Tour since I was 11 years old,” she said before leaving for the continental event. It being the first time participating in the event, she does not know any of the other riders from other countries that will be competing, but her coach, O’Ryan Bruintjies, told her that the girls from Egypt are very strong. “I admire my teammate and friend McKenzie Pedro as a cyclist as she has always been there to help and support me. She is the kindest person I know with a heart of solid gold.I was at school when I received an email saying I had been selected and could not contain my excitement,” she says. The most important race for Amber is the
Giro Rosa because she loves watching the female cyclists, especially the SA cyclist Ashleigh Moolman Pasio. “A good cyclist needs to be determined and not give up when racing gets hard. You also have to have good sportsmanship and accept that you can’t always win. You need to have respect for your coaches, team managers, mechanics and other cyclists,” Amber says. Team rapport makes training all that much better, she says. “My teammates and coaches are always making jokes and we are always laughing in between training sessions on the track. My teammates and I are all going through the same pain during training, and the laughter and jokes help relieve stress because I know I am not the only one suffering during hard intervals.” She concludes: “My advice to motorists is to keep in mind that one small mistake could easily take someone’s life.”
