t has been 12 years since these learners first walked into a classroom. The journey has been filled with ups and downs but they are now more excited than ever about what the future holds. Despite all the hurdles they have to overcome to get where they wish to be. Talia Petersen, Azraa Timm, and Chelsea
Martin X all 17 years old and Grade 12 learners at Mount View High School X share their dreams and passions. They speak about the challenges they face as teenage girls growing up in Hanover Park and what Women’s Month means to them. They were all born and raised in the area. For them, Hanover Park is home and they agree, there is no place like home. They say despite all the challenges they face, they will push harder to make names
for themselves and inspire others. Talia says the situation in Hanover Park makes her sad because learners have become used to things they are not supposed to be used to. “A lot of us come from broken homes with absent fathers.” She adds that drug abuse and teenage pregnancies are common. “(So) living here is very tough but we want to succeed.” Her advice to fellow teenagers is to focus on the positive and not to waste their energy
on the negative. “Living in Hanover Park could be seen as an advantage because the situation pushes us to strive to succeed so that we can better our situation,” she explains. Next year she plans to study teaching because it has always been a passion of hers. “I want to make a difference. I want to come to my school one day and teach here,” she says. V To page 2.

portunity to go to Parliament where she, with other teenagers, got to interact with council members. Charity work includes helping those in need or being assigned as tutors to assist other learners in subjects like mathematics. “We sometimes help families that are less fortunate and provide young girls with sanitary pads,” she explains. For Azraa, the challenges of living in Hanover Park are sometimes overwhelming. “There are shootings in the area and some of us have parents who are drunkards. We have to look after our young siblings after school,” she shares. She believes education is another way to spread a positive message among learners, inspiring them to do better. “I want to go into teaching because I like to motivate others and I like it when I can
be of benefit to others,” says Azraa. She feels like she does not have a role model. “I do not have one (role model) but I know who and what I want to become and I will stop at nothing to achieve it,” vows Azraa. The teenager says she does not have time for extra-mural activities because she is completely focused on her studies. Her desire to do well in the final exam drives her. All three agree that their teachers are instrumental in helping them do well in their studies. Chelsea says she loves working with money. She has a lot of business ideas and that is why she wants to study business next. “When I was younger, I wanted to study law but I realised there are a lot of career opportunities in business,” she explains.

During the patrol at 9:55 on Tuesday 23 July, police spotted a man walking and when he noticed the officers he reportedly dropped something in the yard and began running. When police went to check what had been dropped in the yard, they found a black Luther firearm with eight live rounds loaded in the magazine. They also found a sock next to it containing 18 bullets. The suspect appeared in the Athlone Magistrate’s Court on Monday 5 August, facing charges of possession of unlicensed firearm.

The club also hosts numerous activities including regular visits by members, where they are treated to meals. Jacqueline Davids and Yosuf Rowland, both Manenberg residents, said they were having a great time at the club. They thanked the centre for hosting the event and vowed to return if the event or a similar one happened again.

Pat on the back for a dedicated woman SIPHESIHLE NOTWABAZA @SihleMusic
I
n the spirit of celebrating Women’s Month and honouring people while they are still alive, MOT – an Athlone-based registered non-profit organisation (NPO) honoured a woman whom they deemed worthy of a special accolade. The organisation honoured Christine Thomas, a student support officer from False Bay Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) College, Fish Hoek
campus, with a “Are Hovstad Award”. She was nominated by Pamela Jako, who is the student representative council (SRC) president at the college. The award is named after a Norwegian community activist Jarl Are Hovstad, who became a permanent South African resident. He was honoured by HRH King Harald of Norway for his work in education and health on the Cape Flats. He was also awarded Western Cape provincial honours in the form of The Order of the Disa, bestowed various Rotary Interna-
tional awards and was instrumental in the establishment of a life-skills programme for students and learners in TVET colleges and schools. Hosted on Tuesday 2 July in Pinelands, the award ceremony sought to encourage people to do well in their respective industries. MOT was established 22 years ago in Norway and arrived in South Africa 10 years ago. It facilitates life-skills programmes for young people and empowers the youth to make conscious choices. Its programmes

aim to equip young people with the tools to strengthen their awareness, courage and to manage peer pressure. It also has a partnership with False Bay TVET College. According to MOT’s office and social media administrator Jacqueline Carolus, it was the first time the ceremony was held. Carolus the criteria used in nominating candidates was to look for someone who lives the values of MOT. “Thomas was the best candidate,” Carolus explains. “She is a role model to many and lives by MOT’s values X to be yourself, to be passionate, to lead and to accept that you can’t always be perfect.” Thomas says she feels honoured by the award. It was unexpected because her work is driven by pure passion. “I was humbled by the honour. It came as a surprise. It shows that I am doing good work and that it’s worth recognition,” Thomas says. For this individual, a social worker by profession, working with learners comes easily because it is something she enjoys. “I am passionate about serving the youth. I like the fact that they can come to me anytime. I have an open-door policy. This is a calling for me,” she says. Jako says she has known Thomas for more than two years and describes her as a mother figure. She says Thomas deserves the nomination because of her willingness to go the extra mile for students. “She is always willing to assist. When I was asked to nominate someone, it was just a no-brainer because she has been there for a lot of us,” says Jako. Her wish for Thomas is that she continues to do the good work she does and to reach as many students as possible.

DEVELOPMENT
Four City sites put forward for reinvention T
he City of Cape Town is considering making available four underused City-owned sites to the private sector for carbon-neutral mixed-use. The underused sites are located close to public transport services in Athlone, Mitchell’s Plain, Diep River, and Goodwood, and could also be repurposed for transit-oriented development. The proposal is the result of the City’s participation in the second round of the C40 Reinventing Cities Programme, a worldwide competition for carbon-neutral developments. The purpose of the programme is to transform underused urban sites into beacons of zero carbon emissions and resilient development. The second round of the C40 Reinventing Cities Programme will be launched in Copenhagen in October this year. The City has asked Capetonians to comment on the proposal and to submit their feedback by 8 September. “Also, we want to see proposals that address urban sustainability and include features that will address water and energy conservation,” said Marian Nieuwoudt, Mayco member for spatial planning and environment. The proposed sites are: . Athlone station car park opposite the entrance to the Athlone train station. This site comprises of 3.7ha. Apart from being
close to the station, the area is well-served by minibus-taxis and about 8km from the Cape Town central business district. . Kapteinsklip station precinct in Mitchell’s Plain. It is located to the north and south of Baden Powell Drive at the intersections of Eisleben and Weltevreden roads. It comprises of 30.6ha. The site includes underused car parks and undeveloped open spaces and is located on the False Bay coast close to the Mnandi resort and the Kapteinsklip train station. . Moquet Farm in Diep River. The site is on the intersection of Main and Kendal roads and comprises of 2.1ha. The rail station is a block away, and the site is ideal for higher density mixed-use development. . Tygerdal site at the Montevista station, Goodwood. The site comprises of 7.6ha. It is close to major retail and commercial centres. The site is ideal for a mixed-use transit-oriented development and could include different tenure options and housing opportunities to a wide range of income groups. “We have chosen these sites because it will contribute to dense, transit-oriented growth and development along integration corridors. “We want to create more inclusive communities with access to improved services, job opportunities, and affordable housing

and public transport,” said Nieuwoudt. Together, these sites cover approximately 40ha. The combined market value of the sites is R316 million. “By making available the sites to the private sector for development we can ignite much needed urban renewal in these areas, economic growth, and job creation,” added Nieuwoudt. She said sites were also ideal for high-density housing as they were close to train stations, minibus-taxi services, and bus stops. “Should we decide to go ahead, we want to see developments that include high-density housing opportunities across a wide range of typologies, tenures and incomes. It must be affordable and could be balanced with commercial and public uses. Whatever is proposed
must enhance the urban environment and improve the quality of life for residents from the area. It must be safe, convenient, and attractive,” said Nieuwoudt. Should the City decide to make the land available for development, the bidders will need to submit design proposals that minimise the amount of energy a building uses for heating, cooling, hot water, lighting, ventilation, electrical services, and so forth. The projects will have to reduce energy demand, use energy efficiently, and use renewable energy, or low-carbon energy.

WOMEN’S MONTH
‘Take care of yourselves’ F
inding balance between work and family life in a fast-paced environment can place significant pressure on women, affecting their mental and physical health. In celebration of International Women’s Day, which is observed annually on 9 August, the provincial department of health encourages women to prioritise their health and to work with them to find ways to improve their mental and general wellbeing. “Finding balance in our competitive society takes a strain on our women and families and by improving the health of women, this, in turn, enhances the productivity, social and economic participation and development of families. “We are highlighting the importance of prevention and promotion of wellness to build healthy, resilient, wellness-conscious individuals, and families throughout the province,” says Western Cape minister of health, Dr Nomafrench Mbombo. The department highlights the services available to women at its health facilities and women are encouraged to take full advantage of their free access to a range of health services available at any public health clinic in the province. The following services are available to women: contraception; pregnancy testing; termination of pregnancy (TOP); antenatal (pre-birth) health care; birth/labour services; post-natal (after-birth) health care; cervical cancer screening; menopause care; tuberculosis (TB) and HIV screening and care; chronic condition care and management; sexually transmitted infection (STI) screening and treatment and youth-friendly clinics. They also offer counselling and screening services, which include referrals for mammograms, information on self-examination for breast cancer, general information regarding nutrition and wellness, sexual abuse and rape counselling; as well as mental health screening, counselling and care. The department’s services are not only limited to more mature women, but also available to young women and girls who are particularly vulnerable living in societies with many social challenges. To empower them, the department has partnered with Nacosa to continue with the Young, Women and Girls programme in the Cape Metro Klipfontein area. This programme, which has been funded for another three years by Global Fund, focuses on increasing retention in school, decreasing the HIV incidence and teenage pregnancy, accelerate prevention to reduce new HIV and TB infections and STIs, decrease gender-based violence and increase economic opportunities for our young girls
and women living in the Cape Flats. “To ensure that the department reaches its Healthcare 2030 goal towards becoming more person-centred, a Whole of Society Approach (WOSA) is required whereby all role-players, partners and government bodies work together to ensure that our women and their families healthcare and other social needs are met to ensure a healthier and more wellbalanced lifestyle in the home,” says Mbombo. The Community-Based Services unit of the department partners with non-profit organisations (NPOs) to help women in need find well-balanced lifestyles by utilising Community Healthcare Workers (CHWs) to conduct home assessments and assist in finding suitable healthcare assistance, as well as linkages for the family to local clinics and other government institutions. These home visits by community healthcare workers and healthcare professionals to women and families who are unable to visit their local health facility, form part of a new initiative introduced by the department called the Community Orientated Primary Care (COPC) project. One participant in the COPC project is Sandra Mentoor (67) from Eastridge. She receives a state pension and is the sole breadwinner to a household of five. Mentoor neglected her health to take care of her family and put food on the table. “I was very sceptical when the community health workers knocked on my door to provide home-based healthcare. I had negative experiences from state healthcare which made me avoid going to day hospitals for help,” says Mentoor. “I have diabetes and never took care of my health previously because I had to provide for my family. “My neglect led to all my toes being amputated on my right foot which could have been treated and healed with proper care,” Mentoor explained. Because of the CHWs persistence to provide healthcare, Mentoor finally allowed them in her home to start treating her health problem. “Not only did they assist me and got me on the road to recovery, but they managed to link up the rest of my household with the Department of Social Development for assistance and helped to solve educational challenges my grandchildren faced,” says Mentoor.

Gunshot patients in the spotlight SIPHESIHLE NOTWABAZA @SihleMusic

“I thank the Lord for my life today because I could have been gone.” These were the words of a visibly emotional Mary Bruce. The Hanover Park resident shared her story at a media briefing, organised by the provincial health department and Groote Schuur Hospital, on Thursday 8 August. Themed “Gun Shot Injuries at Groote Schuur Hospital Trauma Centre”, the event cast a spotlight on the challenges the hospital faced daily in caring for gunshot patients. Bruce (48) told reporters what happened on Sunday 7 July, the day she was shot. “I was busy hanging washing when I heard gunshots,” she said. When she turned around, she was hit by a bullet in her left leg. Bruce was rushed to Groote Schuur Hospital where she underwent operations on her leg. She is currently in a wheelchair but she is positive she will make a full recovery. “I do believe I will be able to walk again,” she said.
She thanked the hospital staff for their care during her stay. She also called on authorities to strengthen measures to rehabilitate teenagers who were involved in drugs and gangsterism. She did not reveal too many details about the person who shot her. All she said was she believed the perpetrator was not older than 17. Bruce was joined by various officials from the provincial department of health, which included the provincial minister of health Dr Nomafrench Mbombo and Professor Andy Nicol, head of the trauma centre at the hospital. Nicol presented a PowerPoint presentation, outlining the surgery process for a gunshot patient. During his presentation, he commended the Firearm Control Act, saying “it works”. According to Nicol, the hospital admits 36 gunshot patients per month. He also spoke about a growing trend in gunshot wound patients. “In the past, we used to see single-shot gunshot patients, but that has changed,” he explained. Now most are admitted with multiple
gunshot wounds. Mbombo lambasted the media for always pointing fingers at the authorities when things go wrong in the health sector. As an example, she mentioned the outcry over patients who were reportedly sleeping on the floor at some Khayelitsha hospitals. She explained the reason for occurrences like these was a decrease in the available budget, which was further depleted by the high cost of violence-related care. She said the department sometimes finds itself in a position where it has to redirect an ambulance that has been sent out. “We are doing battleground medicine. We rob Paul to pay Pauline,” she said, describing instances where some call-outs had to take priority over others due to the severity of injuries. She also discussed the shortage of staff at hospitals which she attributed to the dwindling budget. In a bid to address the rise in gunshot patients, she said the department was conducting external interventions in the classified “red zone areas”. She explained that data will be collected to determine if progress had been made.

Varsity College netball rises to the occasion T he Independent Institute of Education’s (IIE) Varsity College Cape Town netball first team participated in this year’s University Sports South Africa (USSA) tournament at Witwatersrand University recently. The ladies were off to a victorious start as the girls defeated the University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN) with a 38-31 win. “The girls played fantastically well after being promoted from C to B division. It was important that we got our USSA tour off to a winning start,” says Andrew Howitt, Varsity College Cape Town’s sports coordinator. On the second day of the tournament, the ladies unfortunately lost by the skin of their teeth, 36-35, to the Durban University of
Technology (DUT). On day three the team made a comeback with a convincing 50-33 win against Central University of Technology (CUT). The team lost their opening match on day four, 45-26, to UCT and on the same day, they bounced back by defeating the University of Johannesburg (UJ) with a 34-28 win in game two. On the last day of the tournament the team beat the University of Limpopo (UL) with a win of 48-31 in the final match of USSA tour. “As a newly promoted team the odds were stacked against us in a far more competitive division, however, coming forth to some well-established university’s insured that USSA 2019 was a success and by that we were very proud of the team,” concluded Howitt.

Cape Town streets tickled pink T
he streets of Durban, Johannesburg and Cape Town were flooded with a “sea of pink” when close to 23 000 runners and walkers joined forces to celebrate National Women’s Day at the Totalsports Women’s Race on Friday 9 August in support of PinkDrive. For the first time since the event’s inception in 2001, the race celebrated Women’s Day across three major cities on the same day. A very happy Annie Bothma from Mouille
Point successfully defended her title when she crossed the finish at Grand Parade in a time of 34:52 seconds. “I came here with only one purpose,” says Bothma. “I didn’t really care about the time. I just wanted to defend my title. The race is challenging because it’s a very hilly course and I knew that Zintle (Xiniwe) is a very strong runner. I like this course because I am strong on hills. I repeated the mantra ‘conquer the hills you are stronger than the hills’. It feels incredible to successfully defend my title today. The vibe
