ZEEKOEIVLEI | PHUMLANI | FLAMINGO HEIGHTS
Organic veggies way to go AVRIL FILLIES
“O
rganic farming is not the alternative, it’s the way farming and gardening was always done before,” says Michael Julie, an organic vegetable grower from Zeekoevlei. Two years ago, Julie shared his knowledge and time with residents of Phumlani informal settlement near Lotus River to help establish five organic veggie gardens in the area. “Together with two friends, we raised the money and volunteered our time to prep the ground and plant the seedlings,” said Julie. He first tried his hand at organic gardening about four years ago when he planted veggies in his yard but his interest in the benefits of organic vegetables began much earlier than that. “I had a huge wake up call in 2011 and decided to change my lifestyle to reduce stress. When I researched a healthy diet I discovered that most of our commercial farms use herbicides and pesticides which adversely affect our gut bacteria and, ultimately, our health. Organic vegetables are pricey so I de-
cided to look into growing my own,” he says. After doing his research – which included reading, watching YouTube videos, visiting and volunteering at Seed in Mitchell’s Plain and connecting with Nazeer Sonday from Vegkop farm in the Phillipi Horticultural Area (PHA) – he felt ready to grow his own. “I started with 1m² at a time, clearing grass and trees and adding compost, mulch and seedlings. Last year, I started with perennial plants and fruit trees because it doesn’t require as much work and I grow vegetables till the end of its season. I find it liberating not to be conditioned by a financial system that requires me to have between four and six crops per year,” Julie says. A veggie garden requires constant work but you can make it easier with good preparation and planning. A vegetable garden is a garden whether it’s one vegetable plant or 1 000 vegetable plants. “I grow vegetables for myself and my family as well as extended family and I sell some to neighbours.” Until recently Julie also supplied some veggies to a soup kitchen which operated in
Phumlani Lotus River. “I started the soup kitchen with two friends about four years ago after many discussions about what we could do to challenge the system using our limited time and resources. We started making about 70l of soup every second Sunday. This progressed to every Sunday and eventually we could employ someone from the area to make 90l of soup Monday to Friday,” he says. Unfortunately, due to a lack of funds, the soup kitchen had to be closed in January. But Julie continues to support two daycare centres. “I supply a daycare in the area (Phumlani) with porridge as well as good second-hand clothes and equipment. The agreement with the woman that runs the daycare is that she can sell the clothing items for a small fee of which half the money must be used for food for the children and the other half she can keep for herself,” Julie says. He also supplies porridge to Little Paradise Daycare in the Flamingo Heights informal settlement in Flamingo Crescent, Lansdowne. “I recently made contact with Aziza Ebrahim from Jumpstart Educare in
Lansdowne in order to collaborate with her because she is instrumental in reviving the Educare in Flamingo Heights,” he says. Julie’s love for all things green has its roots in his youth. He grew up in Heathfield. “For the first seven years of my life every second house had a louquat, quince, fig and lemon tree and grape vine. I couldn’t understand why in places like Strandfontein there was none, although it is located on a section on the Cape Flats aquifer with the best quality of water,” he said. Having studied electrical engineering at Peninsula Technikon (now known as the Cape Peninsula University of Technology) in Bellville, Julie didn’t think he had green fingers. But it only took a little bit of self study to change that. “Our health as well as the health of plants, animals, insects and organisms depend on organic farming. I truly believe that the greatest mistake that we as a society could’ve made was to link finance to survival because it forces people to do anything and sacrifice everything necessary in order to survive.” V Continued on page 4. .

For the love of dance A
s young as he is, Tyron Zoutman has already won a string of local and international awards for dance, choreography, scriptwriting and direction. And the 27-year-old dancer, singer and choreographer, who grew up in impoverished circumstances in the tiny Swartland town of Piketberg, will once again play a leading role in this year’s Cape Town Carnival, taking place on Saturday 21 March on the Fan Walk. Performing alongside several other highly talented dancers in the Honouring our African Cultural Roots pod of this year’s festival, Zoutman will help to bring to life the carnival’s theme, Incredible Journey: Sounds of South Africa. The routine will combine traditional and contemporary African dance, and draw inspiration in movement, dress and adornment from isiZulu, isiXhosa, seSotho and Ndebele cultures. Zoutman, who is skilled in local hip-hop, kwaito, gumboot, African jazz and African fusion dance – among several other genres – attributes his success to his mother, his church and “some incredible teachers and mentors”. “They shaped who and what I am today,” he says. “I came from a family that was very spiritual and artistic, and my childhood was sort of like a ‘God journey’ with teachers like Miss Hefca and the late Roderick Beukes seeing talent in me, then pushing me in the right direction,” he says.

ATHLONE
Gift of the Givers receive R2m T
he non-profit organisation, Gift of the Givers in Athlone received a cheque for R2 million worth of fuel annually for a period of three years from a leading fuel company, with a view to extend the arrangement. Gift of the Givers focus on disaster response, hunger alleviation, water provision, healthcare, education and social upliftment. Gift of the Givers founder and chair Dr Imtiaz Sooliman says the enormous value of the fuel partnership became obvious considering that the organisation’s convoys travel long distances to offer humanitarian relief. They service areas of South Africa as diverse as KwaZulu-Natal, Free State, Limpopo, and the Northern and Western Cape. “Already this month we have been in Alice in the Eastern Cape providing relief to victims of the flooding; Calvinia in the Northern Cape where farmers and farmworkers have no resources available for themselves or their animals; Graaff-Reinet to provide items crucial for the survival of drought victims; and Ntinini in KwaZuluNatal to feed the hungry, amongst others,” he says. He adds that the generous commitment by the fuel company is going to make a significant difference to the reach of their intervention efforts. “A partnership with like-minded brands
will enable us to strengthen our ability to make an impact on the lives of some of the most vulnerable people across South Africa. I applaud (the company) for this commitment,” he says. The Gift of the Givers Foundation is the largest disaster response non-governmental organisation of African origin on the African continent. The essence of the foundation is to bring hope and restore dignity to the most vulnerable people in time of need. “Given the challenging social context in South Africa, Engen is firmly committed to investing in sustainable development initiatives that offer tangible value to the communities in which we operate,” says Dato Sri Syed Zainal Abidin, company chair. “And given the wide reach and incredible national relief efforts of the Gift of the Givers, (the company) sees much value in this partnership,” he adds. One such occasion where the company had previously collaborated with Gift of the Givers was in March 2019. They responded to a call from the droughtstricken Makhanda community, after the town had been without water for much of the previous year. V For more information contact 0800 786 911 or info@giftofthegivers.org.

Dominique Petersen from Lansdowne teaches the kids at Jumpstart sign language through nursery rhymes. She will complete her studies at the end of the year.
Kids learn sign language AVRIL FILLIES Children at Jumpstart Educare Centre in Lansdowne are learning sign language through nursery rhymes. “Dominique Petersen arrived on our doorstep looking for an early childhood development (ECD) centre where she could do her practical work. She is currently doing her level 4 at the College of Cape Town in Crawford, but finding work in the vicinity was difficult,” says Aziza Ebrahim, owner of Jumpstart. Petersen previously worked at the Dominican School for the Deaf in Wynberg and walked from Lansdowne to Wynberg daily. “I felt sorry for her because of the distance that she had to travel daily, and offered that she can come and assist at Jumpstart. She
is hard of hearing and when I saw her interaction with the kids and how they enjoy singing and signing with her, I knew she was a God-send,” Ebrahim says. To complete her level 4 studies, she has to work at an ECD and Petersen is very happy at Jumpstart. “My kids are now benefitting and maybe the staff will also join in learning sign language. You are never too old to learn new things, and for all of us at Jumpstart this is a new venture,” Ebrahim says. She added that Jumpstart is an inclusive school and thought Petersen would be an asset there. “Petersen is finishing her studies in December this year and she is teaching our children with hearing impairment – and the children love this,” Ebrahim says.
4 NEWS FROM PAGE 1 Julie tries to blog and vlog when he can but he is not contemplating bringing out an organic recipe book. However, people who are interested in starting their own organic gardens can follow his account, www.minds.com called “My Urban Homestead” and his Facebook page called Veggie Gardeners Western Cape. “I hope that with the latter people can help each other with free info relating to our climate here in Cape Town.” Julie says that all you need to start your own garden is time and resources.

“People with little time can donate resources and those with little resources and more time can give of their time,” he says. “Anyone interested in organic gardening could find someone with an organic garden and volunteer one to two hours per week to help remove weeds like I did and slowly progress to setting up beds to planting seedlings and soon you will be starting your own garden and giving advice to others.” He suggest that people with small verandas or courtyards consider container gardening or to convince a neighbour to start a veggie garden in their yard, so that both residents can benefit from organic vegetable gardening.

Police work yields jail time T
he acting station commander at Lansdowne police station, Col Carol Fisher has applauded the work of her detectives who have put three criminals behind bars for eight years. The detectives were led by Capt Riedewaan Hare, who investigated separate incidents. In the first incident on 23 March last year in Ottery, opposite Christel House, a the 70-year-old woman and her son (39) were robbed of their groceries, R600 cash and cellphones, at knifepoint by two men. The thugs ran away towards Freedom Park informal settlement. The victims were able to give a clear description of the suspects. On 14 April last year one suspect was spotted in Freedom Park by the complainant, who called the police. They arrested him. Two days later another suspect was arrested.
TM
Both accused Kevin Jacobs and Lance August pleaded guilty on charges of robbery with aggravating circumstances and both accused were sentenced for eight years imprisonment of which four years are suspended for the period of five years on condition that the accused are not convicted of robbery with aggravating circumstances, robbery common and/or theft committed during the period of suspension. The judgement was delivered on Wednesday 29 January. . In an unrelated case, Shaun Shank (32) from Hanover Park was sentenced to five years imprisonment in the Wynberg magistrate’s court on Monday 27 January. On 12 May 2019 Shank robbed a man at knifepoint, taking two cellphones and R50. The man (30) was walking in Flamingo Crescent on his way to
work when he was confronted by two men and a woman who took his belongings. He ran to Lansdowne police station to report the robbery. Police looked for the suspects and caught them within five minutes. . Another man (33) has been sentenced after he handed himself over to police after claiming that his vehicle was hijacked on Saturday 15 February at 13:15 at the corner Imam Haron and Belmont roads in Rondebosch East. Lansdowne police’s Sergeant Khululekile Hashe and Sergeant Amin Qolo investigated the man’s claims, but found it didn’t add up. The man handed himself over to the police. He explained that he was busy with personal business using a company vehicle during working hours and decided to lie. He has appeared in the Wynberg magistrate’s court.

DEVELOPMENT
Improving lives through education M
ore than 150 City of Cape Town employees from areas such as Mitchell’s Plain, Athlone, Khayelitsha, Mfuleni, Joe Slovo and Gugulethu have taken the opportunity to further their education through the City’s Adult Education Training (AET) programme. The programme is offered to all City staff members who are without the first qualification on the national qualifications framework. The programme has been running successfully and empowering staff for over 20 years. “The AET programme is inspiring on so many levels and demonstrates how eager our people are to equip themselves with knowledge and to move forward in life. People want to improve their situations and this programme provides them with the structure and support to do so,” says Mayco member for corporate services, Sharon Cottle. Over the past week, the 2020 intake of learners completed the orientation and are now equipped to start with their learning. Four of the learners are going on to AET level four this year in order to attain their Grade 12 qualification and eight learners will be working towards their General Education and Training Certificate (GETC). AET provides aspiring learners with a foundation for lifelong learning. The group this year ranges between the ages of 30 and 65, with the majority falling within the 40 to 50 age bracket. The City elected Nomfundo Noranya and Shadley Visagie – two particularly inspiring learners to deliver words of encouragement to the new group at the AET orientation event. Noranya, lives in Khayelitsha and works within the City’s health department in Brackenfell. At 50, she is more motivated
than ever to pursue her GETC qualification. She started on level two of the AET programme in 2017. “My life has changed a lot since I started this programme. I’m able to manage myself very well through life-orientation learning and my facilitator has taught me a lot about emotional intelligence. “I’m working as a cleaner but I can proudly say that the City is interested in my development and I am currently being trained as an office assistant. I have been exposed to many places I never thought I would see and can’t wait to complete my GETC qualification, and do my matric,” says Noranya. Shadley Visagie, a 48-year-old from Athlone, works as an operational supervisor driver within the City’s solid waste department. Shadley started on level three of the AET programme in 2018 and completed level four in 2019. He strongly believes that one should never let anyone tell you that you are not capable or too old to achieve something. “Keep the faith and remember you have made the right choice to empower yourself. Just stay dedicated; committed and keep a positive mindset. If learners keep working hard, there is no doubt that they will go from strength to strength and progress to the next level,” says Visagie. Levels one to three of the programme focus on language literacy; communication skills and numeracy. Thereafter, learners progress to AET level four where they complete the first qualification which is the GETC. Thereafter a six-month programme is offered to bridge the gap of Grades 10 and 11 in preparation for the Grade 12 qualification.

are important because it does contribute to the condition of your health,” she said. Sakeenah Oberay, a relay supporter for more than five years, recalled how tough it was to see a loved one battle with an illness. “My granddaughter has been diagnosed with leukaemia and it has been a very difficult period – it still is.” Oberay added that early detection is key. “If she had not been diagnosed with leukaemia, we wouldn’t have known about the G1 ward at Red Cross (Hospital) and all the brilliant work being done.” Karen Jansen, secretary of the CANSA Relay For Life Athlone, said they managed to raise R213 411 at this year’s event. The proceeds are to finance various initiatives like Tough Living with Cancer (TLC) and education and awareness. “There are so many cancer patients out there not on medical aid and our hospitals are overloaded with long waiting queues for appointments,” she said. “We believe more communities should be educated and supported so that early detection is possible and can save more lives. Our involvement gets the message out via educating teams so that one day we can live in a world without cancer,” she concluded.
O
ver the years the Cancer Association of South Africa’s (CANSA) annual Relay For Life has become an anticipated charity event for many communities, and this year’s overnight relay on Friday 21 February into Saturday 22 February was no different. The Athlone leg of the event took place at Turfhall Stadium and featured an array of activities that paid homage to survivors, current patients, their families and those who lost their lives as a result of cancer. “Cancer is definitely not a death sentence. It doesn’t mean that you are going to die. If it’s detected at an early stage, which happened in my case, then there’s much that can be done,” said Bridgette Watlington Carelse, a breast cancer survivor who was diagnosed in 1995 and has been participating in the annual relay since its inception. Carelse hopes the youth will be more aware of the different types of lifestyles and how unhealthy habits can negatively impact their health. “Our young people will come to realise how precious life is and that life choices

ture of theatre in South Africa. Each production on the main festival is ticketed at R30 per show while shows over the family carnival weekend are priced differently.

Sopa speaks to ‘wants and needs’ SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS @Samantha_Lee121
T
he 2020 State of the Province Address (Sopa), delivered by Western Cape premier Alan Winde on Thursday in Rocklands, was his second in his five-year term since his
Metro police and Law Enforcement officials.
election last year. The address highlighted the successes of the past seven months and outlined the plans put in place by the current government for change, development, growth and improvement in the province. Key matters raised in Winde’s speech

The Working on Fire air crew formed part of the platoon parade ahead of the state of the province address at Rocklands civic centre on Thursday 20 February. The parade was made up of men and women working in the province’s safety structures.
were employment, electricity outages and economic growth. Winde started his speech by outlining some of the recent successes in service delivery, including the safety plan and deployment of 500 additional law enforcement officials, and the province being named the top job creator in the country. “In the national government stats released last week, it was announced that the Western Cape created 24 000 new jobs for the quarter, more than half of the net jobs created in our country. We are South Africa’s jobs province,” said Winde. “When I delivered my first Sopa in July last year, we vowed to ‘get to work’. Over the past seven months, we have certainly done just that. Since being elected, I have visited dozens of communities, I have met with thousands of citizens, and we have received tens of thousands of emails, texts and calls, telling us what you want and need,” said Winde. “We have heard you. You don’t want smart cities and bullet trains. You want working cities and normal trains that get you to where you need to be, safely and on time. You want a government that focuses on getting the basics right, and actually delivers.” Winde shared a four-point plan to make the province less reliant on Eskom, therefore relieving residents of load shedding. The decision comes after an announcement by president Cyril Ramaphosa in his State of the Nation Address (Sona) on Thursday 13 February where he announced provinces could generate their own energy. Winde said the province was a goldmine for renewable energy. However, he expressed concerns that the province may not be able to benefit as the president had not outlined the stipulations of producing its own energy. After the spate of school break-ins and vandalism, the province would also look to install 30 high-security fences at schools each year for the next 30 years to keep learners and teachers safe, said Winde. Further, Winde said the province would continue to fight for the management rights of the rail system in the province, stating “we can do it better”. While this request has been denied on several occasions, Winde said they would conduct a feasibility study on moving control of rail away from the national government. The local government would also introduce
a game-changing minibus pilot project which would use technology to monitor and improve the behaviour of taxi drivers. “There will be increased investment in public transport infrastructure, including ranks, stops and shelters, to improve the daily experience of taxi commuters,” said Winde. Funding in excess of R250 million has been made available from the private sector, the national government and the City of Cape Town to ensure 1 000 unemployed youth are trained and placed in jobs in the next financial year. The plans for the next five years in office were guided by the several visits conducted by Winde and his cabinet and includes safety and corruption concerns. “Bolstering the forensic unit which looks into municipal matters to strengthen accountability at this level of government and to root out any risk for potential corruption,” he said. “You told us your families are not safe because drugs, gangs and gender-based violence are tearing them apart. Within less than four months of taking office, we have delivered. In September, we launched a comprehensive, province-wide safety plan aimed at halving the murder rate,” he said. More needed to be done in working together with other government departments and spheres, said Winde. “I also have to be frank with you. South Africa is in bad shape. Last week, we heard from the president that youth unemployment is at an all-time high,” said Winde. “Fewer jobs also mean less tax money, which means budget cuts to health and education departments across the country.” He welcomed the decision to bolster youth employment and development programmes and offered some of the province’s successful projects as blueprints. He stated that with more funding from the national government, this would be more successful and would assist in stemming the unemployment issue in the country. Winde concluded his address with a promise to not rest until this change was felt by everyone in the Western Cape: “We will not slow down until you as the residents of this province see and feel the progress of our delivery first hand – our success is your success, and your success is ours. Our job together is to build a better South Africa. We dare not fail, as our future depends on it.”

Rain puts skids on results GOOSAIN ABRAHAMS
T
he stakes for promotion in the Western Province Cricket Association’s First Division A has heightened following the last round of fixtures played on Saturday 22 February. Rain had a significant impact on the results with the teams batting second benefitting from the reduced overs. Log leaders Green Point were shocked by lowly placed Kuils River who won by 6 wickets thanks to an undefeated 51 by Aldo Jantjies. It’s now become a three-horse race with Primrose and Rylands breathing down their necks following their wins over Kraaifontein ( by 19 runs) and Milnerton (by 4 wickets ) respectively. The biggest losers of the day were United who posted the highest score of the day 273/6 against Ottomans but a wet pitch thwarted
their attempts at victory. For United Saulieg Raynard (98) was the top scorer and was, unfortunately, run out short of a deserving century. In the Premier League, Bellville bounced back to the victory trail by the narrowest of margins via a 2-run win over Claremont. UWC enhanced their position on the log with a comfortable 8-wicket win over Brackenfell. Results: Premier League: Bellville beat Claremont by 2 runs on the Duckworth/Lewis method. Bellville 229 (Gerhard Janse van Vuuren 78, Marcus Fourie 47, Aaron Smith 23; Gavin Dickenson 5/48, Darren Stevens 2/23). Claremont 136/9 (Darren Stevens 40, Matthew de Villiers 38; Justin Dill 4/17, Evert Carstens 2/31, Dirkco Welthmar 2/40). Rondebosch beat Langa by 9 wickets

Super League title race hots up NOORE NACERODIEN
I
t was another bumper double-header weekend for the Cape Town Softball Association. The race for the title of Super League champions was turned up a notch when Lavender Hill surprisingly dropped points against Glenthorn A’s in their women’s Super League clash at the Turfhall Softball stadium in Belthorn Estate on Saturday 22 February. The A’s batters were in top form by taking 10 hits off the Lavender Hill pitching pair of Melissa Savage and Grivonne Rhoda. Leading the offence were Chante Pepino (2-2) and Candice Ross (2-3). Chaunees Goliath kept the Lavender Hill batters at bay giving up just four scattered singles. Lavender Hill’s closest rivals Westridge Yankees had another superb weekend beating Heideveld Yankees (17-0) on Saturday and Glenthorn A’s (11-4) on Sunday 23 February. After Glenthorn’s superb performance on Saturday, they came unstuck against Yankees on Sunday. The game was marred by four defensive errors by Yankees in the first innings. Nazeem Dulvie, Yankees’ coach, gave his charges a tongue lashing and they finally pulled their game together.
