Soldiers on close watch Members of the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) were deployed into the Western Cape last week to assist police and other law enforcement agencies to curb crime in some parts of the province. Since their arrival they have joined numerous crime operations and are expected to join more similar initiatives around the Cape Flats. On Thursday last week they joined an operation at Hanover Park. Residents watched and expressed appreciation, saying they hope it could restore peace. Read more on page 7. PHOTO: SIPHESIHLE NOTWABAZA

Cops go beyond duty call NOMZAMO YUKU @NomzamoYuku

rassy Park police officers have been praised for their efforts after rescuing an 83-year-old man who had trouble breathing. Steenberg resident Simone Brown, who is a trainee caregiver, was attending to the senior citizen and says the man, whose identity has been withheld due to confidentiality, encountered breathing problems at his home, in Lotus River, on Monday 8 July. She says their attempts to get emergency services were in vain. They were eventually helped by the police who escorted them to

He also thanked Brown for acknowledging the role the officers played. Almost two weeks ago Grassy Park officers were criticised by residents for poor service at a public meeting held at Bruce Road Community Hall in Ottery.

EMPOWERMENT

Moms help mom

Women’s conference explores tech space L

ess than one-third of the world’s technical workforce are women, and the numbers aren’t growing. In the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI), women constitute only 22%. All the above is according to United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) and Forbes. With that said, students at the University of Cape Town (UCT) Graduate School of Business (GSB) are aiming to change this by bringing more women into the conversation to share and learn about how to best support each other while navigating the complexity and uncertainty of digital disruption. The 20th annual Women in Business Conference will be hosted on Friday 16 August in the new conference centre at the UCT Graduate School of Business (GSB) with the theme “Disrupt: Industry 4.0” and it will be looking on how women can take advantage of advances in technology; including the impact of AI, social media revolutions, and data management. The line-up includes lectures and panel discussions featuring industry leaders like Thato Kgatlhanye, founder and chief executive officers (CEO) of the Rethaka Group, Pascale Henke, co-founder and CEO of Brownie Points, Samantha Perry, co-founder of Women in TechZA, Lynette Hundermark, co-founder of Useful & Beautiful, and Christelle Colman, managing director (MD) of Elite Risk Acceptances, who was voted one of the top 50 most creative people in business in South Africa by Fast Company in 2015. The 20th annual Women in Business Conference at UCT will be bringing together industry leaders to explore how women disruptors can win in a world transformed by technology.

More opportunities are opening for women, especially black women, in the fields of innovation and technology in business, says Baratang Miya, founder of GirlHype, a non-governmental organisation that promotes women in science, engineering, technology and maths (Stem) and teaches girls software programming and coding. “There is more money in the market and space is beginning to accept us, and that anti-women culture is gone,” she says. Miya will be one of the speakers at the conference. GSB director of executive education Kumeshnee West says: “The fourth industrial revolution will unlock many opportunities for women in business, especially for those leveraging the power of a globalised network to push for greater change,” she says, adding that gender bias is strong in the technology sector and needs to be consciously overcome. West says more women need to be brought into the conversation to share and learn about how to best support each other while navigating the complexity and uncertainty of digital disruption. There are positive signs that things are starting to shift in the tech sector. According to a recent survey, 71% of women use social media compared to 62% of men. Interestingly, 62% of sharing on Facebook is done by women, with the rise of the mommy blogger being an interesting phenomenon on social media. Conference committee co-chairperson and Masters of Business Administration (MBA) student at the GSB, Nicole Funk says technology has already changed the way people use transport, book restaurants, pay for accommodation and

TIYESE JERANJI @jeranji The 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 preschool 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.

watch movies. She believes the impact on businesses and women in business will be huge. “People tend to be scared of what they don’t know, of new things. That is why this conference is important, to show people what is coming and to embrace it.” Co-chairperson, Yossabel Chetty, also an MBA student says: “There are many misconceptions about technology. The fourth industrial revolution is not only about AI and changes in the job market; it is also about sustainability, alternative energy sources, social impact ventures and how technology can be used to uplift and better lives, for instance using drone technology to distribute medicine or improve agricultural practices.” There are so many opportunities for women here, she believes. Encouraging more women to study and train in technology fields, launching start-ups and getting involved in technology is key to capitalise on these opportunities, believes Funk. The conference aims to bring together professionals from across sectors as well as private and public enterprises into an environment where thought-provoking and energising conversations can take place and powerful connections can be made, while enjoying lectures and panel discussions featuring industry leaders. The annual Women in Business Conference at GSB is organised by students at the school. All funds raised through the event will go towards a bursary fund to enable women to study at the school.

Lending a helping hand 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 of her friends and family by making huge strides towards a full recovery. Johanson says: “Because of her fighting spirit and determination she is able to walk already – with the aid of a cane. 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.

Fundraiser will be held soon 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.

GRASSY PARK

Foundation burns down NOMZAMO YUKU @NomzamoYuku

oundation for Positive Change’s male residence in Grassy Park was destroyed in a fire on the afternoon of Tuesday 16 July. The founder and the chairperson of the foundation, Rashaad Allen says he was reading an article about his appeal for help (“Help make recovery easier,” People’s Post, 16 July) when he learned about the incident “I was in disbelief,” he says. It is unclear at what caused the fire, he told People’s Post.

The foundation helps with recovery of substance abuse. It offers programmes that deal with peer pressure, anger management, communication skills, financial management, life skills, restorative justice and drug counselling. It relies on donations to run. Allen says the total cost for the damage is estimated to be about R120 000 as everything in the residence, including the work clothes of the 24 men, were burned. While Oasis Place in Schaapkraal accommodated most of the affected men, he says seven of them moved in with him at his

home, sharing the space with his wife and two children. “Thanks to Oasis, most importantly to its director, Clifford Martinus for assisting the guys,” says Allen. “No one said it would be easy but we will continue trying to find ways to help them. They have worked for many months towards their recovery and we cannot give up on them, we cannot let them suffer,” Allen says. He is once again appealing for donations to help them rebuild the residence and to sustain the day-to-day lives of the affected. V Any donation is welcome. Call Rashaad Allen for more information on 076 467 4912.

Foundation brings winter relief on Mandela Day SIPHESIHLE NOTWABAZA @SihleMusic

esidents smiled from ear to ear as they received groceries from the winter relief programme at China Town Shopping Centre in Ottery on Mandela Day (Thursday 18 July). The programme is an annual affair organised by Tzu Chi Foundation in collaboration with the shopping centre and community activist Keith Blake. The foundation, which is based in Taiwan, does charity work in disadvantaged areas in the Cape Flats. It has over nine million members in the world and part of their job is to secure sponsors and donations for their events. Exhilarated and appreciative residents

were given a variety of items such as bags of mealie meal, tinned fish, tinned beans and beanies. Tom Yang, one of the foundation’s team members, said the day was all about sharing love with the community. Yang said it was not just Ottery that benefitted, as they also brought relief to other areas such as Delft. “Today is about assisting where we can as a foundation, and we thank the people around the world who made these donations,” he expressed. According to Yang the goods that were ready to be donated could cover up to 500 families. The goods offered some relief for families as some are faced with poverty due to the challenges that come with unemployment. Vanessa Windvogel, a Freedom Park resi-

dent, said she lives with six grandchildren who are all her son’s children. The situation at home is hard as she is a pensioner. She thanked the foundation for the donation. For unemployed Zameka Doris King, another Ottery resident, some of the items she had been given will last her for more than a month and for that she is grateful. Even though the event is annual, this was her first time she attended and said she is glad she came as the only working person is her home is her boyfriend. One other resident who is grateful is the evangelical Chantall Hendricks. She said what the foundation has done will be rewarded by God. “I am excited and glad to be here. We say thank you to the foundation. God will bless them,” she expressed.

Church pleads for help NOMZAMO YUKU @NomzamoYuku A local church, Parish of Simon of Cyrene in Acacia Road, Parkwood Estate, invites young and old to its bingo event on Saturday 27 July. This is a fundraising event aimed at uniting and inspiring the public to give back. It targets more than 150 people. Treasurer Marlene Viljoen says they hope to raise R10 000 on the day. Proceedings will go towards the funding of the dayto-day costs of the church that is 50-yearsold. Most of the church members are less fortunate, hence the appeal for support. There will be no entry fee, but bingo booklets and refreshment will be on sale. Donations will also be accepted. She says participants stand a chance to win a variety of prizes which include small electrical appliances and vouchers. The event starts at 15:00 and ends at 19:00.

Get rid of toy guns NOMZAMO YUKU @NomzamoYuku

rassy Park Community Policing Forum (CPF) is planning to lead a march against toy guns within their precinct. Although no date has yet been set for the march, the CPF has decided to heed a call by Grassy Park residents after a public meeting held in Ottery on Tuesday 9 July. CPF spokesperson Philip Bam told the public some crimes were committed using imitation firearms. He said it was difficult to distinguish whether a firearm pointed at you or someone else is real or not. He said imitation guns pose risks to the community, directly and indirectly, citing crime. Despite being used to commit crime, Bam said the use of the toy firearms is likely to make children targets for gang recruitments.

He said gangs watch how one carries themselves, their behaviour and then start luring them to do their deeds. “A child used to play with a gun would be easily tempted into using it for other reasons, be it a real gun or a toy. We need to stop buying these for children and start talking about its dangers at our homes. We will also need to challenge the law to be changed and prohibit the selling of these toys from the shops,” Bam said. He said in volatile communities where shootings take place at any time, one is likely to become a victim and get hurt if their toy firearms is mistaken for a real one at the wrong time. “There was an incident where a boy was shot because he was presumed to be a threat. He only had his toy gun, innocently playing in the street. We need to prevent those incidents in our communities,” said Bam.

He made examples of international countries that have started acting against imitation firearms. The presentation was well-received, and residents identified local markets to be targeted. No details of the possible march were discussed but both parties emphasised that action would be taken soon. This comes at a time where the Grassy Park precinct, like many other areas in the Cape Flats, is affected by the scourge of violent shootings. The CPF and residents said they cannot allow it to continue as it forces them live in fear. Colonel Dawood Laing, Grassy Park Station Commander, admitted that the number of violent incidents was indeed alarming and needed interventions.

HANOVER PARK | MANENBERG

Army keeps a watchful eye SIPHESIHLE NOTWABAZA @SihleMusic

anover Park residents welcomed the deployment of the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) members in their community. They hope that this will scare off gangsters and drug lords. On the evening of Thursday 18 July, the soldiers joined a search operation by the police and other law enforcement agencies in Hanover Park and Manenberg. They searched vehicles driving into the areas for illegal items such as drugs and firearms. Efforts to get a comment from the two government security agencies were in vain. They remained tight-lipped about how long they were going to be in the area and what was the way forward. The deployment of the army made headlines in the media when they arrived in Cape Town last week. Since then, they have joined various operations. During an operation in Hanover Park residents watched as the gun-carrying soldiers kept an eye on the proceedings. They shared sentiments of feeling safe with the heavy presence of the soldiers in their midst. Quadriyah September, a resident, said she hoped the shooting by gangsters would stop now that the soldiers are visible. She said she appreciated the gesture and the effort but according to her, the hotspot for gangsters is an open space not far from where the soldiers were stationed. “I wish they could stay here forever and never leave,” she said. Another relieved resident, Wayne Ryneveld described the patrol as a “good thing”. He said there are always shootings in the area. “We cannot even sit outside at night, we thank the minister for responding to the call (to deploy soldiers),” he said.

As much as he appreciates the presence of the soldiers he added that he does not think the gangsters will be deterred. “They (gangsters) are not afraid of guns and prisons so they will not even stop what they are doing while the soldiers are here,” he said. He said as soon as the soldiers leave, shootings will resume in the area. He said they have lost a lot of children to gang-related shootings. Another resident, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to fear for her life, also welcomed the patrol but had an issue with where the soldiers were stationed. She agreed with her neighbours that the hotspot was the open field in the area where gangs loiter. “Crime is bad in the area, it is very dangerous here. We witness it as the community every day and we live in danger so I feel like the soldiers came late,” she said. Ward 47 councillor Antonio van der Rheede said they are happy with the deployment in the community. He said he wished they were deployed earlier. That, he reckons, would have prevented the loss of many lives. Van der Rheede said he does not know how long the army would be based in the area as that is “top secret.” “We just want to appeal to the community to be tolerant as the soldiers search every car because they do not know who is who. People must know that one minute can save a life,” he said. He said it was unfortunate that it had to get to a point where soldiers were to be sent when the police is there, fully resourced.

EDUCATION

Unlocking mindsets A

total of 20 schools in the Western Cape are participating in a pilot to introduce the Department of Basic Education (DBE)’s Entrepreneurship and Employability Education (E3) programme. The DBE aims to create a new culture in South African schools where the youth become more self-reliant, are solutionoriented, and develop proactive, entrepreneurial mindsets. Schools that will be benefiting from this programme include Windermere Primary School, Portia Primary School, Usasazo Secondary School and Tamboerskloof Primary School, among other schools. The target groups of teachers for the pilot are economic management sciences (EMS), life orientation (LO) as well as life skills educators. EMS educators received training last year. Grades 7 to 9 EMS educators, Grade 10 LO educators and Grades 4 to 6 Life Skills educators received training this year. Tom Ryan, retired director of the University of Cape Town’s executive Master of Business Administration programme, volunteered his time and expertise to design and facilitate a training programme for educators on Project-Based Learning (PBL). In keeping with global trends in education, PBL is used in E3 as the key methodology for developing 21st century skills in

learners. Ryan feels he still has a lot to offer South Africa and has volunteered his expertise to help empower educators to use this teaching methodology as part of the E3 initiative. He is a role model for using one’s time during retirement to give back to society. During this term, participating schools will implement projects such as: . Creating cultural awareness through an intercultural event in which a culturally-rich recipe book produced by the class is launched; . Creating a tower garden to raise awareness of taking responsibility for your own healthy eating and building entrepreneurial skills; . Caring for animals club; . Planning a career expo: future-focused careers. At the end of the third term, learners will host an event where the projects will be showcased to parents, learners and/or the community. Some of the educators commented that as a result of the training, they will do the following differently in term 3: . Teach less, coach more, allow learners to explore and learn; . Generate excitement and make lessons more fun; . More practical, less theory, make work more interesting, take a projectbased approach to teaching.

Empowering the system to support learners with autism The provincial education department’s directorate for inclusive and specialised education support has offered various training sessions to empower the system to support learners with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Training started at the end of the first term when provincial ASD outreach teams trained support advisers (LSAs) and learning support coordinators (LSCs). A total of 72 LSAs and LSCs from all education districts have been trained at different venues. Training on the basics of ASD was extended to learning support educators in all the districts. The aim as always is to empower educators to support ASD learners within all sectors of education. This training will be followed up by more in-depth training throughout the next 12 months. By the beginning of August, approximately 610 educators will have been exposed to the first round of training. Training has also been provided to the various outreach teams rendering therapeutic services to Children with Severe to Profound Intellectual Disabilities (CSPID). Training has been cascaded down to carers from various special care centres across the province. The ASD outreach teams, as well as school-based teams, trained carers on Tuesday 14 and Wednesday 15 May at different venues. Two-day training sessions took place at Worcester, Riebeeck Valley, Blouvlei School, Beacon School, Chere Botha School, Dorothea School and Carpe Diem School.

The CSPID teams who arranged the venues and catering did an outstanding job at ensuring that everyone was comfortable and well looked after,” read the statement. Towards the end of the second term, the teams presented the annual two-week intensive ASD course at two different venues. This course was originally compiled by Margaret Golding and the management of Vera School (Fanie Minnaar, Cecil Reed and Jana Forrester) and was piloted in 2005.

Meeting the need It was designed to address the needs of educators and related professionals (psychologists, speech therapists, occupational therapists) who worked with or intended to work with learners with ASD. The course is both theoretical and experiential and due to the intensive nature of the course, only 20 delegates can be accommodated at a time. The course is accredited by Autism South Africa. Professionals registered with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) receive Continuous Professional Development (CPD) points for attending the course. The Western Cape Education Department is in the process of getting the course accredited with the South African Council for Educators as well. The general feedback on the various training sessions was positive and overall a need for more training on ASD was expressed.

Reaching the strides for autism learners T

he provincial education department’s directorate for inclusive and specialised education support has offered various training sessions to empower the system to support learners with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Training started at the end of the first term when provincial ASD outreach teams trained support advisers (LSAs) and learning support coordinators (LSCs).

Draft coastal bylaw open for public discussion

MENS JACKETS

A Coastal bylaw aimed at managing and protecting Cape Town coasts will be open for public comment at the beginning of August. The draft bylaw is also aimed at improving safety at beaches in and around Cape Town. The Coastal Management Branch has drafted the proposed bylaw and it is founded on the principles of the Integrated Coastal Management Policy and Coastal Management Programme that were adopted by council in 2014 and 2015 respectively, and the National Environmental Management Integrated Coastal Management Act 36 of 2014 as amended. Mayco member for spatial planning and environment, Marian Nieuwoudt says: “Cape Town is synonymous with rolling waves, rocky shores, dolphins, whales, and sunsets on pristine beaches. “Our coastline draws millions of tourists and local visitors every year; it is central to our identity, and gives us a sense of place and pride. “We also cannot overestimate the importance of the coast to our local economy. It is a public asset that must be preserved and protected for current and future generations. “The draft bylaw will assist us to better manage our coastline and enable law enforcement of activities that may have a damaging impact on the coastal environment.” It will be available for public comment from Thursday 1 August until Monday 2 September. The City will, during this time, also host eight public hearings across Cape Town where residents can ask questions, and comment. The draft bylaw will be applicable to the

coastal zone, which is a public area that belongs to all South Africans. It covers the seashore, the coastal waters, and the environment on, in, under, and above the coastal zone.

The proposed bylaw addresses the following in general terms: . Poaching or illegal fishing; . Harvesting, or removal of vegetation; . Removal of sand, pebbles, rocks, shells, and kelp; . Removal of or damage to indigenous coastal vegetation; . Littering; . Pollution and dumping; . Encroachment of private property into the coastal environment; . Measures to remove encroachments, and rehabilitate affected land; . Possession or consumption of liquor or drugs; . Hawking or doing business without authorisation; . Launching of vessels; . Issuing of fines for contraventions. “One of the most important aspects of the proposed bylaw is that it will give the City the legislative powers to enforce the public’s right to access and enjoy our beaches and sea. “Some residents are claiming the beaches or parcels of land in front of their properties as their own private areas by either extending their homes or gardens, sinking swimming pools, or building walkways with ‘no-access’ signs on it. Our coastline belongs to all South Africans, and the bylaw will be used to entrench this right,” says Nieuwoudt.

Be vigilant as residential fires increase T

he City of Cape Town’s Fire and Rescue Service reminds residents to be extra vigilant amid an increase in residential fires this winter. The statistics for June show a 15% decrease in the number of informal settlement fires, but a 15% increase in formal residential fires. In the same month, the fire fighters responded to 150 formal residential fires. This represented a 15% increase in statistics for the same period a year ago. The number of informal residential fires decreased from 150 to 127. There was also a decrease in fatalities, from 12 in June 2018, to six this year. Mayco member for safety and security JP Smith said winter presents a challenge, as residents start relying on heaters, electric blankets and other methods to ward off the chill. “The use of so-called galley fires, also known as imbawula, is another big risk factor, as the fumes could result in carbon monoxide poisoning. “Add other potential factors like electrical faults, smoking, open flames and the like, and the need for extreme vigilance becomes apparent,” he said. The Fire and Rescue Service, as well as the City’s Disaster Risk Management Centre, conduct hundreds of fire safety outreach sessions every year. The City has also started accelerating the installation of smoke detectors in residents in the informal settlements. Some of the installations have been funded through ward allocation funding, while others have been partnerships with corporates in areas like Tafelsig, Steenberg, Lavender Hill, Khayelitsha and Philippi. “There is always a risk of fire, whether in informal settlements or formal residential areas. Like many other risks to community health and safety, fire prevention requires a collective effort. The City works

continuously to increase its level of education and awareness in communities. “Furthermore, we are building more fire stations and other resources to bulk up our response to when fires happen. We also call on corporates to come to the table and assist with our smoke detector roll-out,” he said. Smith added: “Residents too have a role to play to ensure that they mitigate the risk of fires starting in the first place. Unfortunately, too many fires are still caused by human error or negligence and the increase in heat sources during this time of year makes things even more challenging.”

Fire safety tips for winter: . Ensure that the heater is off before going to sleep or leaving home; . Make sure all the components like the heater, regulator and hose connectors of your unit are well-maintained and follow manufacturer guidelines closely; . Always ensure that the room in use is well-ventilated and if it becomes stuffy, open windows and doors to allow fresh air in immediately; . Carbon monoxide is a colourless and odourless gas that can go completely unnoticed yet cause serious illness or, in severe cases, death due to poisoning; . Never place clothes or other items like towels over the heater; . Do not move your unit while it is in use, first turn it off and wait for it to cool down a little before moving it around; . Keep heaters at least a metre away from all flammable objects including furniture, curtains, books and boxes; . Never leave a fireplace unattended, and ensure no hot embers are remaining; . Keep matches and other ignition sources away from children; . Switch off electric blankets at the socket and ensure that it is not left on throughout the night.

KID-FRIENDLY FUN: “Kids must stay away from drugs – and don’t even experiment,” says William Cupido, a former drug addict who has turned his life around to become a motivational speaker around the Grassy Park, Retreat and Ocean View areas. His non-profit organisation, Second Chances Outreach, hosts workshops with children from the areas he works in. His message aims to steer his peers and the youth away from drug usage. The Global Worship Centre is one venue that set the scene recently, where children were able to learn, play and stay off the streets.

PROPERTY

A word for sectional title owners A

n increasing percentage of home sales in South Africa are in sectional title (ST) schemes, and buyers of these properties need to be aware that they don’t have the same freedom about additions and alterations as those who buy full title homes. So says Andrew Schaefer, managing director of national property management company, Trafalgar. “The thing about ST schemes is that whatever one owner does is bound to affect other owners – even if they just want to make changes within the walls of own unit,” he says. “Noise, mess, and security are all concerns for your fellow owners, even if you are just revamping a kitchen, renovating a bathroom or installing new flooring inside your ST unit. “If electrical work or plumbing is involved, for instance, you may need to get a certificate of compliance in order not to invalidate the whole scheme’s insurance.” Schaefer says if the work is being done by a contractor, there could be a security risk with a group of non-residents and various delivery vehicles going in and out of the

complex for several days, or a risk of damage to common property. “This is why the Sectional Title Act stipulates that no alterations to units are permitted without the consent of the scheme’s trustees – and that they are allowed to limit the days and hours during which such work can take place, and may ask you to make special arrangements to ensure that the security of the complex is maintained,” he says. In addition, he says it is important to ensure health and safety compliance on the part of any contractors working in the complex. “So you will need to check that any contractor working on changes to your unit has the appropriate safety files, public liability insurance; any industry-specific certification that may be required,” says Schaefer. Following the correct procedure becomes even more important, Schaefer says, should you wish to extend the floor area of your section or make changes that would affect the exterior appearance of the whole scheme – and in fact, Section 24 of

the Act states that you can’t do so without a special resolution of the body corporate. “But before you even get to that, you should first consult the trustees to see if the scheme has rules regarding the materials and architectural style to be used if sections are extended, then find out what the local authority’s requirements and costs are for submitting building plans for your planned extension. “Next you will need to get a quote from a land surveyor for drawing up a new sectional plan of the complex – which will need to be approved by the surveyor general – and a quote from a conveyancing attorney to register the new plan at the deeds office. This will be necessary because any change to the size of your section will affect the participation quotas of the whole scheme,” he says. Once you have all this information, Schaefer says, you will be able to compile a proposal detailing your intended extension in terms of approved building plans and your agreement to carry the costs of drawing up and registering the new sectional plan, then try to secure the special resolution you will need to go ahead.

“To obtain this, you can either approach all other owners in the scheme individually and get written permission from 75% of them in both number and value, or call for a general meeting and seek a vote of approval from 75% of owners or proxies present at the meeting, also in both number and value,” Schaefer says. If you succeed, says Schaefer, you can go ahead and get your building plans approved, build your extension and then call in the land surveyor to prepare the new draft sectional plan and get it approved by the surveyor general. “One additional detail to watch out for is that if your extension has been built over an existing exclusive use area (EUA) that was registered on the previous sectional plan, that EUA will need to be cancelled and a new, smaller one ceded to you by the body corporate before the new sectional plan can be registered by the conveyancer. “And while this may all seem unnecessarily complicated, it is really worth doing correctly, because if you don’t, your ability to sell your unit in the future may be severely hampered.”

Interest rate cut is good news for local consumers As was widely expected, the Reserve Bank decided to cut interest rates by 0.25 percentage points last week, amid indications that international oil prices could fall further and that slowing global growth could prompt a round of rate cuts by most major central banks. Governor Lesetja Kganyago said on Thursday 18 July the Reserve Bank expected the economy to grow at a rate of 0.6% this year and 1.8% in 2020, after rebounding from its first-quarter slump. The move brings the repo rate to 6.5% and the prime lending rate to 10% and will translate, for existing homeowners, into a saving of R16 a month per R100 000 borrowed. On a R1m loan, for example, the saving would be R166 a month and potentially almost R40 000 over R20 years. The change also means that first-time borrowers will now find it easier to qualify for a loan – with the gross household income requirement for a R1m loan falling from R33 000 a month to R32 000 a month. “Equally importantly,” says Rudi Botha, chief executive officer (CEO) of leading bond originator BetterBond. “It will lower monthly bond repayments and make home-ownership more affordable at a time when household budgets are under severe pressure.” The Reserve Bank’s decision follows

news that international oil prices are likely to fall thanks to the United States of America (USA) declaring bigger reserves than expected and the prospect of a settlement between the USA and Iran. This lowers the risk of a significant rise in local inflation, he notes. “Meanwhile, China’s economic growth rate has fallen to the lowest level in 27 years and other Asian economies are also struggling, with the result that rates have already been lowered in Korea and Indonesia. In addition, the Federal Reserve is expected to lower rates in the USA this month, and the European Central Bank recently announced that it is unlikely to raise its borrowing rate from the current 0% until late 2020 at the earliest. “This creates leeway for the Reserve Bank to lower SA rates without the country becoming unattractive to international investors, who are always looking for the best returns on their money. “Indeed, the latest available figures show that Foreign Direct Investment in SA grew by 446% last year and was also positive in the first quarter of this year,” he says. More importantly, says Botha, the rate cuts should give the local economy and job creation a much-needed boost at a critical time, and bolster a fragile recent recovery in consumer confidence.

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.

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

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. The three schools also ensure as much representation in the orchestra, as possible. For orchestral parts where

Getting ready for the performance.

Concert to calm the storm Four trailblazing musicians are to bring calmness to the Cape of Storms with a titillating display of musical harmony at the fourth Young Artists’ Concert series at Erin Hall in Rondebosch on Friday 26 July, starting at 19:00. Three of the rising stars hail from the annual National Youth Music Competition (NYMC), including the 2015 first prize winner and gold medallist. Beate Boshoff (17), the 2018 NYMC runner-up in the piano category is the youngest in the group. Her fellow soloists are flautist Sakhile Humbane, the 2015 NYMC first prize winner and gold medallist, and pianist, Seiren Wi, who was awarded the prize for the most promising semi-finalist in 2010, but did not play in the final round at the NYMC. She was also a member of the Shadow Jury at the 2017 NYMC. The fourth member of the gifted ensemble is the Eastern Cape-born pianist Dominic Daula, who is currently a postgraduate student at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester, specialising in solo piano performance. Daula will be part of the shadow jury at this year’s NYMC. Presented by the National Youth Music Foundation (NYMF), this concert is the fourth since the inception of the Young Artists’ Concert Series. The inaugural concert last year coincided with the blood moon and was also held at the intimate 100-seater Erin Hall. This year’s programme will include piano and flute works by Phillipe Gaubert, Francis Poulenc and Frank Martin. Boshoff is a matriculant from Bethlehem in the Free State. On completion of matric,

she aims to pursue a career in music. Apart from numerous distinctions, she has performed as a soloist with the Johannesburg Symphony Orchestra, Free State Symphony Orchestra and Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra. Humbane, an honours Bachelor of Music performance degree student at the University of Cape Town (UCT) is originally from KwaMashu in Durban in KwaZulu-Natal. Apart from walking away with top honours at the 2015 NYMC, he travelled to Dubai last year where he won the first prize for the Africa and Middle-East category of the Yamaha Music Gulf Scholarship competition. Fellow honours music student Wi is currently studying the piano under professor Francois du Toit at UCT. Wi is an active chamber musician and is a member of the Variation 3 Trio, which won the duo and trio categories in the Stellenbosch ensemble competition in 2018. Growing up in the Eastern Cape, Daula commenced his music studies at UCT in 2013, where he completed undergraduate and postgraduate degrees with distinction. In 2017 he won a scholarship to further his studies in Manchester. “The NYMC, now in its 35th year, annually attracts the cream of classical instrumentalist between the ages of 14 and 19 to vie for the cash prizes of R145 000 and the sought after gold silver and bronze medals. This year’s competition runs from Tuesday 8 to Saturday 12 October at the Hugo Lambrechts Auditorium in Parow, Cape Town,” says Michael Maas, chairman of the NYMF. V Unreserved seats are R120 and R70 for students, learners and pensioners from Computicket.

there are no school players the music staff or professional players are included. Even though the music programme of the three schools is very full, the music staff still manage to make this a positive experience for everyone. For many learners, a project such as this is a once in a lifetime experience and something they will treasure for the rest of their lives. Renowned composer Alexander Fokkens conducts the Rustenburg Girls’ High School,

Rondebosch Boys’ High School, and SACS choirs and orchestra in this exhilarating work. The soloists are Brittany Smith (soprano), Vasti Knoesen (mezzo-soprano), Makudupanyane Senaoana (tenor), and Barend van der Westhuizen (baritone). V Performances are today, Tuesday 23 and tomorrow, Wednesday 24 July at the Cape Town City Hall, starting at 19:30. Tickets are R150 and can be booked on Quicket.

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.
