Initiative to rescue youth

T
he streets of Hanover Park came alive as scores of young people gathered in support of the launch of the Life Counts programme. On Saturday 24 August, residents gathered in the streets to walk to a local block of flats where mayor Dan Plato addressed the crowd. Antonio van der Rheede, councillor for ward 47, also attended the launch. The programme, which has already been rolled out in other areas including Grassy Park, aims to empower youth and to create
youth leaders to act as ambassadors for change. It will spearhead various initiatives to engage young people and to keep them off the streets. Plato pleaded with the youth to reclaim their area and to fight gangsterism. He also spoke about the importance of education and encouraged them to continue studying after matric. He told them that colleges offer bursaries. Plato was upbeat about the turnout. He said it meant more young people were heeding the youth’s call to action. “I am pleased that so many youngsters came. They could have been somewhere else
but they decided to come here to listen,” Plato said, adding that young people want to see change. He said he had spoken with six gang members and the interaction highlighted the need for someone to listen to their stories. Plato said their willingness to talk to him was a sign that they were open to positive change. He assured the youth that the government was committed to helping them. “We as leaders want to see development, but we cannot do it alone. We need to instil morals, to show the youth something different,” he said. Programme facilitator John Alexander
said he is excited about the initiative and its intended outcomes. The former teacher said he was delighted to be part of such an initiative and for the opportunity to work with the youth. Alexander said the programme was linked with the subcouncil and they would be working closely with Van der Rheede. “We do not have a schedule yet. Our meetings will depend on the ward councillor.” He said the programme would focus on nurturing leadership skills among the youth as well as personal development. “The programme seeks to mould children into leaders and to create opportunities,” Alexander explained.

he City of Cape Town encourages Grade 12 learners and students who are pursuing studies in expert fields such as accounting, nursing, engineering, information and systems technology; business sciences and sustainable energy engineering to apply for financial support. The assistance is offered for studies in 2020, and those interested should apply by 19 September this year. The City is offering financial support to aspiring and existing students who are residing in the greater Cape Metropolitan area. The support is for full-time studies. All applicants need to be registered; and must pursue further studies towards an undergraduate or postgraduate degree or diploma in one of the approved City scarce skills fields of study for 2020. The City will consider applications for studies at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT); University of Cape Town (UCT); University of the Western Cape (UWC); and the University of Stellenbosch (US). “The City is committed to offering growth and development opportunities to our young residents. The financial support is pivotal for those who cannot fulfil their full potential because they simply do not have the means to support themselves and pay for further education and training,” said the Mayco member for corporate services, Sharon Cottle.
She added that the ultimate aim of financing students is to allow them to improve their lives. “The academic financial support we offer to young residents and City staff is key to the City’s skills and development programme. Other opportunities include job shadowing, graduate internship programmes, learnerships and apprenticeships, as well as skills development programmes.” The City’s long-term strategy determines what type of expertise are needed to promote and develop residents and their own personnel. One of the considerations has been to equip the municipality with the necessary skills to use 4IR (fourth industrial revolution) technologies in the future. Each year, the City awards external financial support to approximately 50 applicants for formal studies in areas that have been identified by the City’s directorates. Apart from catering to the technological demands of the future, it is essential that the City also invests in expertise which provides the essential basic services that maintain a well-run and healthy city. Therefore, residents with knowledge of and skills in nursing, contract management, fleet management, accounting, as well as library and information science will remain in demand.

MANENBERG
Computer training to cover basics SIPHESIHLE NOTWABAZA @SihleMusic
A
second-year education student, Yumna Alexander, is spending her free time teaching computer skills to unemployed people in Manenberg. Training takes place twice a week at the
local library and the students don’t pay a cent. The City of Cape Town’s Sm@rtCape department supplied the venue, computers and universal serial buses (USBs). Alexander is a student at the Two Oceans Graduate Institute. One of her subjects is information communication technology. The reason she started the initiative is be-
cause she realised while people are required to apply for jobs online, some have never used a computer before. “They do not even know they can use their phones to apply for jobs. I try and keep it as simple as possible,” she explains. Since she studies full-time, she can only conduct classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays
Yumna Alexander is assisted by Linda Komeni and Xola Gungubele.
from 09:30 to 12:00. The first group recently completed their training and she encouraged them to keep practising what she taught them. She trained them for a month, focusing on Microsoft Word, Powerpoint, email and how to search for jobs online. She says if people from the area want to be part of the training, they should contact the library. Nomgqibelo Lisa, senior librarian at Manenberg library, says they’ll never reject anyone who comes forward with a plan to develop and educate the community. The training she offers will come handy, since the City already has a digital literacy programme. Alexander’s training plays a pivotal role in improving residents’ eligibility to be accepted into the City’s programme. Charlene Champher, a mother of three, is one of the students who completed the training. She has been unemployed for more than two years and says the training has brought some hope that she might get a job. She had never used a computer before the training. “I learnt there is a difference between a Word and PDF document and that on the PDF people cannot make changes. Yumna also helped me to create an email address. I did not know that you can send an email to someone overseas and they can get it now.” For Champher, the training goes beyond sitting behind the computer. She says Alexander is an inspiration for the youth of Manenberg. “I am very thankful to be given this opportunity. We thank Yumna for facilitating this and empowering us. Maybe some of us can help in the future to facilitate,” she says. Theresa Jackson, also unemployed, thanks Alexander and the library for making the training happen. “I have learnt a lot. Yumna is the best. I hope she’ll go far. She just trained us and did not ask for money,” she says.

Dancers gear up for a performance with dogs NOMZAMO YUKU @NomzamoYuku Local dancers participating in the Dancers Love Dogs (DLD) show, taking place at Artscape in the CBD on Saturday 5 October, are currently training along with their dogs. The dancers are determined to raise R450 000 by the end of the year, which will be equivalent to the amount they raised last year. DLD is a non-profit organisation (NPO) and they work closely with NPOs that take care of sick and stray animals. They also run mass sterilisation programmes. They host the show annually and this year’s event is the eighth performance, one of their biggest fundraising events of the year. Dancers come from different professional studios in Cape Town and share a love for animals. Unfortunately for those keen to see the dancing dogs, only four pooches can be accommodated on the stage. “It (the show) is honestly beautiful – many of the dogs have been rescued and the owners are trying to overcome the dogs’ insecurities with constant training and reassurance,” says Brigitte Reeve Taylor, founder of DLD. While the dancers and their dogs will be covering genres such as ballet, modern, jazz, tap and hip-hop, comedian, Alan Committie, will be the show’s master of ceremonies. “I honestly believe we all have a talent that we can use for a greater cause. We have all been designed for something greater than ourselves and our contribution to the world needs to have meaning,” says Reeve Taylor. She urges people to adopt at local shelters or to volunteer to walk the dogs. Alternatively one can drop off a bag of food or a warm blanket. Taylor says the animal shelters are literally overflowing with dogs and cats. V Tickets cost R300 per person and are available at https://bit.ly/2ZtuTiX. For more information visit the Dancers Love Dogs Facebook page.
The dancers collaborating for mass sterilisation of animals in need, in Cape Town, will be at Artscape Opera House from 19:30.

HANOVER PARK | BONTEHEUWEL | MITCHELL’S PLAIN
Women can now join yoga SIPHESIHLE NOTWABAZA @SihleMusic
M
adrassah-Tul-Badelieyah (MTB), a nonprofit organisation (NPO) concluded Women’s Month with an important message. They celebrated women by launching yoga sessions at the MTB centre on Saturday 24 August. Based in Hanover Park, MTB is a community hub that runs various community upliftment programmes for the young and old. They say they do not discriminate against race or religion. The annual event was not only attended by women from Hanover Park but also by women as far as Bonteheuwel and Mitchell’s Plain. According to Adlija Holt, the NGO’s project manager, the event was all about celebrating women and the role they play in the community. She said women go through a great number of challenges and they need, now and then, to have their spirits lifted. “Today we are here to educate and uplift one another while having a fun and beautiful time. This is our time to encourage each other and also laugh,” she explained. Addressing the women briefly, she encouraged them to unite wherever they are. “Women should come together – united we stand, divided we fall,” she emphasised. Explaining the addition of yoga to benefit women in the centre, she said she experienced the benefits of it first hand. She added that it would be selfish of her not to introduce it to other women even if it is once or twice a week. It will be free of charge. “I experienced the benefits. I found it absolutely necessary to implement it in our lives. It assists us in our daily lives and business. “The breathing technique is very impor-

She explained the NGO will formulate a partnership with a professional instructor who will conduct classes in the Madrassa. Joining in the event and socialising with other women were Mitchell’s Plain and Bonteheuwel residents, Gadija Bester and Faldielah Fredericks. Fredericks revealed she attends the event every year because it gives her time to be with women from other areas. “I brought other women from my community also because they have nowhere to go. They are always in Bonteheuwel. They never get out of the area,” she shared. She said the event is important because it appreciates women for the work they do in their families. For Bester, the part that excited her the

most about the event was the yoga sessions. She is a self-proclaimed fitness enthusiast and said she uses her own fitness methods to keep healthy and fit. The Portland resident revealed she suffers from hypertension but said she is not dependant on medication. She does take it but does not always rush to swallow a pill every time she feels sick. She encouraged other women to always take walks, opt to get off a taxi from a distance and head to their destination by feet. She said as women they need to stand tall and enjoy life. “Women must not let their children stress them out. Have a positive attitude towards life. We must recognise our worth as women, we have a lot of strength,” she said. V For more information call 021 371 5327.
Fire and Rescue Services statistics have been released by the City of Cape Town.
Fire statistics decline year-on-year Cape Town’s most recent Fire and Rescue Service statistics showed a decline in most categories for the last year. Most encouraging is the decline in the number of residential fires – both formal and informal, but also the number of fatalities, which dropped by 29%, year-onyear. However, the increase in the number of informal dwellings affected is a concern and speaks to the challenges of firefighting in informal settlements. Among the statistics were: . a 14% drop in the number of special service calls (motor vehicle accidents, hazardous materials, rescues et cetera); . a 1.4% drop in the number of informal settlement fires; . a 13.5% increase in the number of informal dwellings affected;
. a 5.5% reduction in the number of formal residential fires . a 29% reduction in the number of fire fatalities . an increase of 8.7% in vegetation fires. The City continues to invest in its firefighting service, with new fire stations in Masiphumelele and Sir Lowry’s Pass Village in the home straight. The Gugulethu fire station was reopened on Monday 19 August, following a two-month closure due to damage caused by protestors. It was the third such closure of the fire station since July 2018. Repairs and increased security measures necessitated by the continued targeting of the station cost nearly R1.2 million. This includes R247 000 on a fence to enclose the fire station and R315 000 to in-
stall new sectional overhead doors. “We’ve highlighted the attacks on our staff before, whether it be vehicles that are stoned on route to fires or hoses cut while the staff is trying to extinguish fires. But the attacks on Gugulethu have been particularly problematic. “The firefighters have agreed to return each time and continue serving the community who has turned on them no less than three times in the last year, speaks to their commitment and dedication to the job. “It has been a traumatic and trying time for all concerned, and I sincerely hope that the madness will come to a stop. There is no justification for destroying infrastructure, not least that which is meant to save lives and property,” said Mayco member for safety and security, JP Smith.

CAPE TOWN STADIUM
Stadium plans on track NOMZAMO YUKU @NomzamoYuku
T
he management of Cape Town Stadium has promised soccer fans the pitch will be ready for the Absa Premier Soccer League (PSL) match scheduled for Sunday 22 September. The announcement came after the game between Cape Town City (CTC) and Kaizer Chiefs on Tuesday 27 August had to be moved to Newlands Stadium due to the condition of Cape Town Stadium’s pitch. Lesley de Reuck, Cape Town Stadium’s chief executive officer, is certain the pitch will be ready for Sunday’s match between CTC and Golden Arrows Football Club. He says management is as distraught as soccer fans who expected to watch the CTC and Kaizer Chiefs game at the stadium. This would have been the first match at the stadium after the completion of the cyclical pitch maintenance work, which began in May this year. “We apologise to everyone affected. We will continue our efforts to bring the pitch up to Fifa standards. We are immensely disappointed as we have worked tirelessly to get the pitch up to standard.” De Reuck says due to lower than average temperatures, the grass took longer to grow. The slower growth resulted in the “root system not knitting or binding as well as it should have”, which raised concerns about the match-readiness of the pitch. “The sudden and erratic directional change of pressure on the surface of the pitch could result in a player losing their footing, which could cause an injury. “On Wednesday 21 August, CTC chairman John Comitis examined the pitch with senior club officials and local soccer star Teko Modise. “After close inspection, which included

kicking a ball around, we were all satisfied that the pitch would be match-ready by Tuesday 27 August,” De Reuck says. PSL’s chief operations officer, Prof Ronnie Schloss, deemed the pitch was not matchready.
A traction test was conducted before Tuesday’s game, which indicated that two spots on the northern side of the pitch were below the required measurement (of 25Nm²) at the time. Comitis says he has advised stadium man-
agement to start maintenance work “earlier to avoid such situations (in future)”. He says matters between CTC and the stadium management have been resolved and that the stadium will be ready for the next game.

HANOVER PARK
Young boxers clinch gold at champs SIPHESIHLE NOTWABAZA @SihleMusic
H
ard work and dedication paid off for two Hanover Park boxers who won gold medals at the recent Western Cape Junior Boxing Championship, held in Mossel Bay. Nasrullah Nazier (17) won the welterweight division while Zion Barnes (13) won the lightweight division at the championship, which took place on Saturday 24 August. Both of them intend to build names for themselves in the boxing fraternity and to also put the name of their area on the map. Their gold wins in the Western Cape Junior Boxing Championship are proof they are putting action into their intention.
From left are coach Igshaan Nazier, Zion Barnes Nasrullah Nazier.
Nazier says he’s delighted with his win – he participated in the same division last year, but the gold medal eluded him. This year he trained even harder, with one goal in mind: to clinch the top spot. “All the hard work paid off this year,” he says. He says he has his father and manager, Igshaan Nazier, to thank. He describes him as a role model and a champion. “I just want to say thank you to everybody for supporting me. There is a lot of good in Hanover Park. It is not just gangsterism and crime,” he says. Barnes, a Grade 7 learner at Voorspoed Primary School, is just as exhilarated with his gold medal. According to him, the win was the result of hard work that included training every day. “It was not easy. It was hard. I want to become a professional boxer and represent my country and make lots of money,” he says. He wants to encourage his peers to follow their passion and not to give up on their dreams. “There are a lot of other things to do than just drugs and gangsterism,” says Barnes. The duo has no time to rest though. They are currently in the final stages of their preparation for the national boxing championship, which will take place in Johannesburg later this month. “We are emotionally ready. and Our bodies are ready too.”
The show is a collective showcase of talented kids across diverse backgrounds, performing in unison on one stage.

Religious leaders unite for peace SIPHESIHLE NOTWABAZA @SihleMusic
W
ater, incense and prayer were used as a means to cleanse and bring peace in the streets of not only Athlone but the Cape Flats in its entirety. Community organisations and various religious groups came together for the first Cape Flats Interfaith Declaration prayer meeting and peace march on Sunday 25 August. The prayer began near Athlone stadium with interfaith leaders holding hands, marching for the restoration of peace and an end to violence. There were a few moments in between where the crowd would stop and prayer would resume. Holy water was used as a symbol of peace and cleansing. The crowd proceeded to Joseph Stone Auditorium for a prayer session that included scripture sharing. The mass peace march and prayer came
as a result of community organisations engagements on countless occasions. They realised the need to unite to fight crime. The meetings were facilitated by workers’ union the Service and Allied Workers Union of South Africa (SAWUSA). According to its president, Wilfred Alcock, they realised that the working class, their members, are directly affected by crime. He said they are the ones who are robbed on their way to and from work. “When the mothers get to work, they are not productive because they are worried about their children – if they are safe where they are,” he explained. Alcock said they asked themselves, as the union, who they could turn to for solutions to the crime problem. Their response was to go to religious leaders. “So we are here as different religious organisations to pray for peace in our communities,” he said.
Representing community organisations was Charles George, the chairperson of Delft community police forum (CPF). He echoed the words of Alcock and added that the event was also about mobilising the residents to do more by acting as a united community. “We are here uniting against the common enemy called crime. Crime has become a thorn and curse. We are not here to point fingers at government and police to say they are not doing their job,” George explained. He said crime affects everyone from any walk of life and that is why it is important for people to speak in one voice. Also present were ward 46 and 49 councillors, Mogamat Cassiem and Rashid Adams. Adams welcomed the gathering. He said he was moved by what he saw, referring to people from different religious organisations coming together. He said he was seeing faces of hope and encouraged the gathering to not
tire from the fight of crime. “Let us make a difference; not just in Athlone but in other areas. We have got to recreate a revolution of our own kind,” he said encouragingly. To revive the crowd was Allan Boesak, a renowned South African minister of the word and a freedom fighter who worked closely with former South African president, Nelson Mandela, and retired peacemaker, Desmond Tutu. He delivered a keynote address in the form of a sermon that left the attendees inspired. His key message was around people who want to please God before they please people that they live with. He made an example of people who pass beggars by and never offer them any time or help but want to please and praise God. He also encouraged the masses who united in prayer to never give up on the fight for justice.

The building was officially handed over to Art in Athlone, a multicultural community artistic hub, on Saturday 24 August. The building belongs to the New Apostolic Church. According to one of its bishops, Neville Barron, the congregation in Athlone decided to meet at Lincoln Estate for worship instead and allow the community arts hub to use the other building. The decision came after the church elders heard about the hub’s values – that of uplifting and developing the youth. “What was key to agreeing to giving the building to the art centre was that someone told us that many children are part of the centre. We believe that children are the future,” Barron explained. He added the church is committed to support community initiatives that develop the youth. Also present at the hand over was ward 49 councillor, Rashid Adams. He vowed to support the centre in
various ways that include bringing talented youth that is supported by City’s programmes to use the centre. “This is a place of learning. It is given to people to motivate them because people always ask ‘What can I do?’ I am very happy about this,” he expressed. The appreciative owners of the art centre, Kenneth and Deirdre Alexander, thanked the church. The artistic couple said they feel encouraged by the gesture of the church to continue doing their work which helps them look after their family. “This is the real church. This is what church is about. A church that is responsible and unconditional in their deeds,” Kenneth expressed. He elaborated, saying the church does not use religion as a measure or criteria when it supports organisations. While a bigger venue would have been ideal, Kenneth said they’re still thankful. “I believe we must work with what we have,” he explained. He is currently showcasing his art work on Long Street in Cape Town CBD where he does painting and sketches.

8 LETTERS MATRIC EXAMS
Plan well for finals W
ith a little over six weeks left before the 2019 Grade 12 learners start their final exams, here is a look at how best to strategise your time leading up to the exams. “Your approach to studying shouldn’t be random or haphazard at this stage, but should leverage the learnings from your prelim exams, to build on your strengths and to identify and address weaknesses,” says Nola Payne, head of faculty for information and communications technology at The Independent Institute of Education. “Prelims play an important role in finals preparation – beyond generating marks which contribute to your overall year-mark.” She says the act of sitting down in a similar environment and under similar conditions to final exams would have provided learners with valuable lessons about their performance under pressure. “In addition, prelim exams would have highlighted the important sections of your work, as well as potential areas where you may have gaps in your knowledge. So as your finals preparation starts, using insights gained during your prelims will provide useful information and structure which will allow you to organise your thoughts and integrate the lessons learnt for each subject,” she says. She gives the followings tips: Review prelim exam papers: Determining where you did well and where you went wrong during the penultimate matric exams can be a great confidence booster. Focusing on and mastering those sections of work which proved problematic during the prelims means that you are concentrating on material that is very likely to arise during the final exams, and for which you will now be well prepared when it does. Completing past exemplar papers It should by now be common knowledge for most matrics that completing past exam papers is one of the best and most efficient ways to prepare for exams. Applying what you have learned, you replicate the time constraints you’ll encounter during the actual exams, you get used to different formats of questions, and ultimately gain a more thorough insight into your work than what you would have achieved through simple reading and re-reading of textbooks. Learners attending upcoming open days at universities or private institutions can make use of the opportunity while there, to speak to student counsellors about accessing past papers available at the institution. Mapping questions asked to work covered in class and textbooks When revising – whether by reviewing classwork, textbooks, completing past papers or looking at prelim exam papers – take note of which questions are asked time and time again. There is an excellent chance these questions will be making their appearance in your own final exams, albeit potentially in a different format, so ensure that you pay extra attention to them. Highlight sections that are challenging If you constantly find yourself struggling with specific questions or sections of work, and if these consistently arose in previous papers, it is time to do the hard work and face down the challenge. Compile a document for each subject, summarising the hardest to conquer sections, and keep this close by at all times. Go back to it over again, and in two months time, you will be confident when faced with previously problematic work. Summarise sections you are comfortable with While work with which you feel more comfortable requires less of your focus, it is good to have a document summarising these sections as well, to reference in coming weeks. Focusing only on the hard stuff, without occasionally going back to the easier stuff, could lead to an out-of-sight, outof-mind situation. “Eight weeks is still a sufficient amount of time to get some decent revision and preparation done. Using this time optimally and strategically can bring about a substantial improvement in your results. But the key is to get going, and get going right now. While two months may feel like a long time, procrastinating for a day or two can have a snowball effect, and you may find yourself left with little time to do more than cramming,” says Payne. “But if you get started, today, on the steps above, you will be reaping the rewards of being confidently prepared when you step into the exam room in October.”

Summit to address safety suggested My letter has reference to, “Safety at malls must be addressed” by community activist Rozario Brown, (People’s Post, 27 August). The brazen attacks and robberies of local jewellery stores at shopping centres is alarming and, gratefully, no loss of life during the incidents is a valuable consolation. After managing various shopping centres for a number of years, I agree with Brown that owners and property managers should not compromise
Citizens asked to comment The department of social development encourages the public to comment on the draft for the manufacturing of washable, reusable sanitary towels. The department is urging everyone to have their say on the Draft South African Standard. This standard covers the requirements and test methods for washable, reusable sanitary towels for external use. Furthermore, this standard does not apply to disposable sanitary towels. The introduction of such standards could be a gamechanger for the sanitary industry in SA because the consequences of inadequate menstrual management extends beyond the classroom to health, dignity, psycho-social well-being, employment, and participation in society. Focusing on a holistic approach to menstrual hygiene management will go a long way to providing an interventional edge in this field. SABS (South African Bureau of Standards), the technical committee responsible for the preparation of this standard has reached consensus that the draft should become a South African standard. The objective of the SABS standards division is to develop, promote and maintain South African national standards. This objective is incorporated in the Standards Act, 2008. To date, there has been no standard available for the manufacturing of washable and reusable sanitary towels. Yet, it remains one of the most economical, environmentally friendly and efficient modes of dealing with menstruation. Moreover, other African nations across the continent have taken the lead in this area of certifying reusable pads. In SA, a leading store is selling reusable products. Internationally, it is becoming more and more popular because of its health and environmental benefits. The draft document is now made available by way of public enquiry to all interested and affected parties for public comment, and to the technical committee members for record purposes. The closing date for public comment is Wednesday 25 September. SHARNA FERNANDAZ Minister for social development
security to reflect greater profit margins in respect of operational costs. Security has always been a priority operational cost during my management tenure, and a robust debate always prevailed when I had to convince my superiors that the security of tenants and customers was paramount. I suggest that a summit be held with all shopping centre stakeholders to tackle the increasing scourge of
attacks on jewellery stores in shopping malls, and a discerning strategy be implemented. I reiterate Brown’s words, “Spending your money shouldn’t become a matter of life and death, which at present it has become as many of these malls are clearly soft targets for criminals, and the staff and shoppers will be ultimate victims.” Shopping must be made safer. MARK KLEINSCHMIDT, Ward 60 councillor
Using your passion to create employment Hats off to Athlone resident Chantal Leibrandt, for conceptualising her spa beauty salon and transforming her home into a business venture. Leibrandt’s example of entrepreneurship is what we foster into our children, which is: if you cannot find employment, use your passion to create your own.
Her spa, aptly named B’U, epitomises what Ghandi said, “You be the change you want to see in the world.” Wishing Chantal much success in her business, and praying that all women had a happy Women’s Month. MARK KLEINSCHMIDT, Ward 60 councillor
Booi sets the record on Salt River site Contrary to what has been issued in the public sphere, the City of Cape Town’s Salt River Market site could deliver 850 affordable housing units, both Gap-market and social housing. The final number of units would be influenced on the development flexibility that is a characteristic of developments in general and that ultimately drives the design. To make statements to the contrary indicating that what is now planned for the site is less than the original and previous affordable housing proposals are simply untrue. This is because the original proposal had a design ratio of 35% affordable housing to 65% market housing. With much in-depth design development having happened since the original application, the latest approved ratio of affordable units proposed is in fact a better ratio of closer to 50% of affordable housing units to market-related units. The number of units proposed has never been changed because of the increased market valuation of this site. In fact, the design development process of this site has a far greater impact than any financial drivers would have. We are gaining great momentum after many years of hard work to get where we are. The City will continue to assess City-owned land, including suitable land in and near the Cape Town CBD and other urban centres to determine whether some of these properties could be developed for housing opportunities. Cape Town is a place for all. We are committed to inclusivity and will keep on exploring all possibilities to provide more
affordable housing opportunities for our residents. The Social Housing Act says social housing is a rental or co-operative housing option for households earning between R1 501 and R15 000 per month. Social housing projects are managed by accredited social housing institutions (SHIs). Social housing projects are developed on well-located, accessible land within areas that contribute to spatial, economic and social development. As with any rental contract, tenants formally enter into lease agreements with the landlord being the SHI and they are required to pay their monthly rentals. Social housing also assists those who do not necessarily qualify for a bond from a bank. It is a key mechanism to drive spatial transformation and to cater for the acute accommodation need in urban centres which have resulted from rapid urbanisation. Social housing is based on partnerships with the acknowledgment that local government alone and government in general, cannot satisfy the accommodation need in urban centres. Social housing is well maintained and managed with security and access control. If tenants do not adhere to their lease agreements, the responsible SHI will follow the necessary legal process. A prospective tenant’s willingness to pay for the accommodation is therefore of paramount importance. According to law, the City may discount City-owned property for certain purposes including social housing developments. MALUSI BOOI, Mayco member for human settlements
When will crime end? We need better safety and security everywhere, not only at the malls. It is crazy out here. We are at war with ourselves. Not even the army makes a difference. Just look at the soldier who was burnt in his car in Mfuleni and all the other things going on where they are deployed. Have they really made a difference? Police are still being attacked and children and women are still being killed. Teenagers are being initiated into gangs and getting addicted to drugs every day. Not even our tourists are safe. Everyone is complaining about the unemployment, but the more these criminals chase the tourists away, the bigger the impact on the economy, and that means even fewer jobs.
Things are really getting out of hand. We are not even safe in our own homes anymore. I would hate to think that we are accepting crime as a norm. When we just say: “Okay, another person was robbed. That is Cape Town for you”. No, we need to do something. We can’t just sit by and watch everyone flee to other countries to escape the crime. That is also not helping unemployment and economy. We can’t keep seeing our skilled children leaving with their expertise. The government, residents and everyone else involved all need to come together and do something, before it is too late and we end up killing each other overnight. WILLIAM PAULSEN Plumstead

Heritage Month celebrated on stage As part of commemorating Heritage Month, composer Dr Thokozani Mhlambi revives old music compositions at The Kitchen in Woodstock on Tuesday 3 September from 10:00. The panel will be made up of various music experts. According to a statement, this aims to remind Africans of their ancient music composition and intel-
lectual excellence. It would raise awareness of and educate guests about the birth and journey that has been travelled by compositions of the past, while finding a place for them to be recognised and enjoyed in contemporary South Africa, and furthermore, Africa. This seeks to unearth, expose and honour African artistic heritage
that would be forgotten. “We had to retrieve the songs from the archives of various arts and culture institutions – some of which are named after the intellectual greats whom I humbly hope this project will fittingly honour and do justice to their compositional excellence,” says Mhlambi. Audiences will be treated to rendi-
tions from what Mhlambi terms “The Ntsikana Moment” which honours and is a revival of Xhosa prophet, Ntsikana’s music as well as music from Reuben Caluza’s 1920s ragtime, sung by University of KwaZulu Natal opera students. V Tickets are available at www.webtickets.co.za for R100 each and R60 per student or pensioner.

MUSIC EXCHANGE 2019
Putting money where the music is T
he love for music, not money, is usually what inspires musicians to pursue a career in music, but it remains a business. Nobody understands this better than Martin Myers, founder of the Music Exchange (#MEX19), South Africa’s only entertainment-economy-focused conference. “Our aim is to empower musicians so they can look after their rights associated with the craft they love. MEX connects them with all the right people who can give their careers a push. “It’s an opportunity to get to know all of the collecting agencies and the roles they play in the industry. They can also listen to the stories of and mix with like-minded people who share inspiration and advise. It is a chance to learn from one another.” The conference returns to Cape Town for the ninth time from 13 to 15 September at the Radisson Red Hotel at the V &A Waterfront. The theme of this year’s conference will be “rights”. Digital monetisation and understanding your rights, be it legal (including what a proper legal contract looks like and how to navigate the small claims court), or rights in the digital economy, all will be unpacked, demystified and opportunities explored at MEX19. Myers says this is an ideal opportunity for established or ambitious young artists, pub-
MEX chairperson Sipho Mabuse, Christian Wright of Abbey Road, and MEX convener Martin Meyers. licists, producers, DJs, managers, venue owners, record labels and agencies to gain invaluable insight. “Key decision-makers of some of the most important music bodies in South Africa will attend this year conference,” he says. The Southern African Music Rights Organisation will be in attendance at MEX19, as well as the chief executive officer (CEO) of Africori, Yoel Kenan; Active Music Publishers chief executive officer John Fishlock;
KFM station manager Steve Werner and advocate Barry Varkel, among others. Artists include Chad Saaiman, RJ Benjamin and MEX chairperson and the legend Sipho Mabuse. Booking agents and promoters Lesley Wells, Craig Parks and Lauren Parks will also be sharing their knowledge, along with community radio specialist Selwyn Bartlett. MEX19 will also welcome back longstanding partners Paul Bothner Music.
Since its inception, Music Exchange has enjoyed support from some of the world’s biggest names in production, songwriting, composition, management, public relations, digital strategy and live performance. After last year’s event, the chief operating officer (COO) of the Recording Industry of South Africa, Nhlanhla Paul Sibisi, remarked, “MEX18 was a real eye-opener, in terms of how it was well organised and the selection of speakers. Each speaker covered the topic eloquently and with passion. I walked out of MEX18 feeling empowered. It presented each attendee with a range of business opportunities, all of which can be capitalised on almost immediately.” Earlier this year, Music Exchange was honoured and recognised by the Western Cape government for its contribution to arts and culture. Limited delegates tickets for MEX19 are available through Quicket. Full conference tickets, for all days, cost R500, which includes lunch on Saturday and Sunday.

Antigone (not quite/quiet) is the first in a series of four productions by the University of Cape Town’s Centre for Theatre, Dance and Performance Studies (CTDPS) and Magnet Theatre exploring the concept of “tragedy” at the Baxter Golden Arrow Studio. At the beginning of 2019, CTDPS X previously the drama department and the School of Dance X embarked on a five-year research project on Re-imagining Tragedy from Africa and the Global South (Retags). Led by Mark Fleishman and Mandla Mbothwe, the project is made possible through funding by the Andrew W Mellon Foundation. Fleishman, director of the production, says it engages with the concept of the aftermath: the tragedy of our particular aftermath in post-1994 South Africa and the aftermath of tragedy as a form. Performers are drawn from the CTDPS postgraduate cohort and trainees at Magnet Theatre, who were recently seen on the main festival at the National Arts Festival in Makanda. They are led by Jennie Reznek with Abigail Mei, Balindile ka Ngcobo, Carlo Daniels, Jason Jacobs, Luxolo Mboso, Kanya Viljoen, Motlatji Mjamba, Sityhilelo Makupula, Sivenathi Macibela, Sive Gubangxa, Siyavuya Gqumehlo, Sizwe Lubengu and Yvonne Msebenzi. Fleishman says, “The broader research

project proposes to take the concept of “tragedy” X from the very beginnings of theatre in its European manifestation X and to reimagine it from a perspective in Africa, that is, at once, directed at the complex challenges of our global postcolonial present and towards our possible futures.” The research is based on a recognition of the numerous adaptations and staging of ancient tragedies by major writers and theatremakers across the African continent. From Wole Soyinka, Ola Rotimi, Femi Osofisan (Nigeria), JP Clark, Efua Sutherland, Ama Ata Aidoo (Ghana), Ebrahim Husssein (Tanzania), Sylvain Bemba (Congo Brazzaville), Saad Ardash (Egypt), to numerous others; Athol Fugard (South Africa) and Trinidad Morgades (Equatorial Guinea). The production previews on 18 September, opens on 19 September and runs for a limited season, at the Baxter Golden Arrow Studio, until 28 September. Performances are at 19:30 with Saturday matinees at 15:00. Ticket prices range from R100 to R150 and R50 for students and scholars. Matinees and evening performances cost R70.

ie WP-Rugbyunie (WPRU) strompel steeds voort van die een krisis na die ander. In die jongste episode het ’n sleutelarm van die WPRU, die unie se skeidsregtersvereniging, verlede week geweier om enige fluitjieblasers beskikbaar te stel vir die afgelope naweek se belangrike reeks klubwedstryde – onder meer die laaste sarsie Superligawedstryde. Dit is waarskynlik die eerste keer in die geskiedenis van klubrugby in die WP dat so iets gebeur. Skynbaar is die verduideliking vir die skeidsregters se optrede dat die blasers enersyds te veel geteiken word deur misdadige elemente by sommige sportterreine, en dat hulle nie voldoende beskermende ondersteuning van die WPRU ontvang nie. Andersyds voel die skeidsregters blykbaar dat hulle nie genoegsame geldelike steun van die moederunie kry nie.

Maar inderwaarheid strek die ongelukkigheid onder die skeidsregters (en so ook die algemene publiek) veel verder. Daar is voortdurende onderlinge struwelinge in die WP se rugby-opset; administratiewe flaters duik van tyd tot tyd op; daar is ’n onnodige sloerdery met die kontraktering van Curriebeker-spelers en die WPRU se finansiële situasie is in ’n erge warboel. By die skryf hiervan het dit bekend geword dat alle belanghebbendes die afgelope Maandag 2 September koppe bymekaar sou sit tydens ’n krisisvergadering op Nuweland – om minstens die probleem ter wille van ’n gerusstelling en tevredenheid by die skeidsregters tuis te bring sodat die klubwedstrydprogram weer sy gang kan gaan. Indien konsensus in hierdie verband nie bereik sou word nie, maar terselfdertyd besluit sou word dat alle onafgehandelde wedstryde steeds moet plaasvind, dan gaan ons vanjaar nog Superliga-klubrugby sien tot vlak in die somermaande.
