Firearm amnesty in force AVRIL FILLIES

thlone Police are raising awareness among residents about the firearm amnesty which is running until the end of

May. It is aimed at making communities safer. “The amnesty is primarily to reduce the circulation of illegal firearms and to address the fundamental causes of crime in order to effectively protect all communities. “General Bheki Cele, minister of police, officially opened the Firearm Amnesty period from 1 December 2019 to 30 May 2020,” says Sgt Zita Norman, the spokesperson for the

Athlone police. Unwanted and unregistered firearms, firearm parts and ammunition that people unlawfully have in their possession can be surrendered at the nearest police station during this period. “You can hand the firearms in at the police station between 08:00 and 17:00, including weekends. The amnesty provides indemnity from prosecution to any person for the unlawful possession of a firearm, firearm parts and ammunition. “An unwanted firearm relates to firearms that are lawfully in someone’s possession, but that their owners no longer need or

require, that are unsafe to use or in a poor state,” she says. Unwanted firearms also relate to firearms that were inherited from a deceased person, and which the person is not interested in keeping. “If you bought a property and the previous owner left it behind and you found it, that is also an unwanted firearm. You can surrender that firearm at the police station. An illegal firearm is a firearm or part (s), which is not licensed and possessed in accordance with the Firearms Control Act, 2000 (Act No 60 of 2000). If the firearm or parts of it is not registered to the current owner, does not have a

serial number or has a removed (defaced) serial number, or is in the possession of a person who does not have a licence for that firearm, that is an illegal firearm,” Norman says. If your firearm licences have expired, you can surrender it without facing prosecution. “The Act further allows the person surrendering the firearm to apply for a licence. The aim of firearm amnesty is to create a safe country for all by ensuring all unwanted and illegal firearms are handed in. No names will be made public and no-one will face prosecution,” Norman says. V Call Lt Col Clive Nicholas on 082 378 9176 for more information.

omeless people living in the car park at Lansdowne train station are benefitting from the Street People Programme of the City of Cape Town. Officials from the City’ social development department meet them every Tuesday evening in the Range Road hall in Kenwyn to discuss various upliftment projects. “The programme is to significantly reduce and manage the number of people living and/or working on streets through developmental and integrated interventions. We upskill and reintegrate them into the community and the City’s reintegration unit have provided fieldwork and reintegration services across the City,” says Zahid Badroodien, Mayco member for community services and health. According to him the services rendered

include relocation to a shelter, reunification with their family and job opportunities through the Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP). “The unit also helps with ID assistance and referrals to drug rehabilitation and medical centres. The department has identified the following hot spot areas in area south to pilot development programmes, namely Grassy Park, Claremont (Plumstead and Diep River), Simon’s Town (Fish Hoek and Muizenberg),” Badroodien says. The department’s area south team has not received more than five complaints (via the Emergency Police Incident Control (EPIC) system) in the Kenwyn area for the last six months. Mark Kleinschmidt, councillor for ward 60, says he has worked on the initiative in conjunction with the City.

The City also encouraged residents to give responsibly and not give hand-outs directly to street people as this may lead to refusal of social services. Instead, it asked residents to donate to organisations and shelters that work with street people. “The sad reality is that homelessness is a worldwide phenomenon and our Street People Reintegration Unit focuses on social outreach with the key aim of reducing the number of people on the street. Unfortunately, we cannot force street people to accept the voluntary services which are on offer, but we can make it easier for those who want to better their lives,” Badroodien says. V The public can contact the City’s toll-free number, 0800 872 201, to find out how they can assist. The City’s Safe Space initiative can be contacted on 021 801 0140 or by email: streetpeoplesafespace@gmail.com.

Lansdowne celebrates winning detective AVRIL FILLIES Juggling work as a detective, being a father, church man, community worker and husband; W/O Gregory Grey from Lansdowne police station showed he can multitask and win awards to top it off. He is one of the two policemen in the Western Cape to be honoured at the National Police Day Awards in Port Elizabeth on Sunday 26 January. The Goodwood resident was born and bred in Bishop Lavis and says he is proof that men can also multitask. “I received two provincial awards, one for the best performance for persons of interest (criminals) and for best performance for a person with a disability. For the financial year 2018/2019 I made 262 arrests and helped the Lansdowne police station to reduce the arrests of persons of interest from 1 019 to 171,” Grey says.

HAVE YOU BEEN INJURED?

Present at a celebration in Lansdowne, were Capt. Ricardo Hartman, group commander of the detective service, and Rafique Foflonker, chair of the Lansdowne community policing forum (CPF). “We are exceptionally proud of Grey’s accomplishments. He is hardworking and deserving of the award recognising his energy and building a relationship between the community and the police. The CPF also recognises the other officers who are also deserving of awards and they should also be awarded for the hard work that they are doing,” says Foflonker. Hartman echoed the sentiments and said Grey’s dedication and availability at all times, is to be applauded. “It is not always that two officers from one province are recipients of national awards. Grey raised the bar to all officers in the province and his colleagues have a tough task to follow,” Hartman says. Grey started his police career in 1992 in Mitchell’s Plain where he joined the uniformed and visible police units. In 1998 he joined the Western Cape Flying Squad, the

provincial crime intelligence and the child protection unit, now known as the Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences Unit (FCS). He later joined Maitland police and has been at Lansdowne Police Station for 11 years. “All the awards are dedicated to the community that I serve as they are the people that helped me to arrest the criminals. Their tip-offs and valuable information, whether in person or anonymous, are key to the successes that I achieved through the years and especially the 2018/19 financial year. “I work according to a diary but always make time for my family and my church. If you do not have a rapport or relationship with the community that you serve, then you cannot expect any results. I am in the fortunate position that I have both and that is why I dedicate my awards to them,” Grey says. Sgt Nkululeko Mnyaka, spokesperson for Lansdowne police, was also chuffed about the Grey’ achievements and said that the other small police stations in the Western Cape should take note of Lansdowne.

HOUT BAY

Skills clinic helps children score AVRIL FILLIES

ids from Hout Bay are benefitting from skills development rugby coaching provided by Rainbow Republic (RR). The skills clinic was founded by two local boys in a quest to give back to the community. Rasta Rasivhenge, a world rugby referee, and Brett Bayvel say the clinic is focused on community upliftment by working with kids from disadvantaged backgrounds. “We are committed to using rugby as a tool to develop disadvantaged and vulnerable youth. Besides the health benefits, direct rugby coaching improves emotional well-being and increases life skills (teamwork, leadership, decision making, communication). It also leads to improved education by providing pathways to success for talented and dedicated individuals through scholarships to top local schools and tertiary education,” says Bayvel. “The skills clinic was my idea as part of a community service I wanted to pursue. I wanted to give back to the community that I live in and to the broader community of passionate rugby supporters. “I pitched the idea to Mitsubishi Motors SA and now it is the proud partner and sponsor of this initiative which ensures children leave with a sense of pride, a smile on their young faces and something for them to look forward to,” he says. The coaching clinics are hosted every week on Sundays on the beach or at the Kronendal Primary School. The skills development coaching develops a range of skills which include passing and continuity. No contact is made but the emphasis is on skills development and the use of shadow ball to enhance the skills.

“The first clinic was held in Johannesburg in November last year and since then we have hosted six more in Hout Bay. We feed the kids and also hand out stationery packs and T-shirts, including other donations we receive. “I am assisted by Bafana Nhleko, Paul Treu (coaches), Cecil Afrika, Siya Kolisi, Gcobani Bobo, Scarra Ntobeni, (players), Shalom Gavor and Lyndon Bray (head of Sanzar referees),” Rasivhenge says. His commitments as a referee of world rugby requires him to travel the world, so he is not always able to be at the coaching clinics. “We have built a strong team of 40 to 50 volunteers, specifically in Hout Bay, and this community project is about giving back to the community. When I am around, I run the show but we have managed to put a team together that carries on with the work while I am away. “Skill development is an important cognitive tool for the kids and we specifically focus on this by using many different tools so kids can have fun. At the same time, they learn skills to enhance their thinking. A lot of the kids are very young and underprivileged in the townships of Hout Bay and we decided to focus on skills,” Rasivhenge says. He aims to develop the next generation of referees. “I recently moved to Hout Bay and thought it would be a great opportunity to give back to the two townships, Hangberg and Imizamo Yethu. “I love Hout Bay and it is my new village. At the last event, we had 106 kids, which was amazing. Our first event was attended by 38 kids. Then it grew immensely over two months. Attendance at the beach event has been as high as 138 kids, so we are doing well and are now averaging over 100 kids per event,” Rasivhenge says.

Call 10111 in emergencies Police are advising residents to make use of its national CrimeStop line to report emergencies. The 08600 10111 is a toll free number that allows residents to log a call for all emergency situations.

The caller is able to get a reference number for calls logged and all calls are recorded. The number is open seven days a week, day and night. It is also operational when the police station lines may be off due to various factors.

NDABENI

First 500 officers ready NETTALIE VILJOEN

s a fake grenade drops to the ground, learner law enforcement officers launch themselves diagonally away from the would-be explosive device. A split second later and a few metres away, they drop to the ground, face-down, bodies in a straight line, with the soles of their boots pointed in the direction of the blast. Toes are kicked into the sand, hard, with flexed feet forming a shield. The thick rubber soles in position to catch most of the shrapnel. They hope. But don’t try this at home. The soon-to-be auxiliary law enforcement officers were put through their paces at the City’s Metropolitan Police Department Training Academy in Ndabeni on Tuesday 28 January. They represent the first half of the 1 000 officers to be deployed through the run of the year as part of the City’s Safety and Security Directorate’s Law Enforcement Advancement Plan. This initiative, a joint venture by the Western Cape provincial government and the City of Cape Town, will guide the City’s efforts to assist the provincial safety plan launched by premier Alan Winde last year. Five hundred of these recruits will join the ranks of the City’s law enforcement services after their passing out parade at Athlone Stadium on Sunday 9 February. The rest are scheduled to complete their training by July. The men and women, who received peace officer and traffic warden training, will be able to enforce municipal by-laws, issue fines and execute warrants of arrest. On the day that People Post visited the academy, the officers were in the middle of tactical stop and approach training, which includes procedures to correctly and safely deal with potentially dangerous suspect vehicles in the field. Trainers, who play the role of the “crooks”, purposefully make the scenarios as stressful as possible, coming up with sneaky ways to throw the trainees off guard or to catch them out. Adding extra pressure to the already tense situation was the presence of two visitors – mayor Dan Plato and mayco member for safety and security JP Smith. They were there to inspect the officers’ progress. Plato said he was pleased with what he saw.

Learner law enforcement officers participate in stress exercises at the City’s Metropolitan Police Department Training Academy in Ndabeni. PHOTO: CITY OF CAPE “We can’t send them to the streets without the necessary basic training. They are being trained by people who have years of experience behind them. I am confident that they will know what they are doing.” The appointment of the new officers will be guided by crime pattern analysis within areas. The officers will be assigned to 10 key crime hotspots which will be announced at the passing out parade. Plato believes the programme will have a meaningful impact in helping to keep communities safe. “Safety is the primary responsibility of the police. However, as a caring government, we have to play our part in filling the gaps left by inadequate police resources in the city and province,” he said. Smith said stress training played a crucial role in preparing officers for real-life incidents. “These exercises make them aware of the variables,” he explained, saying that they were repeated many times, imprinting officers’ actions and reactions and giving them a sense of control. Smith says the recruits would go a long way to compensate for the loss in the provincial police staff. Today there are 4 500 less officers in the field than there were five years ago, leaving 85% of stations under-resourced, he said.

TOWN

He blames attrition for the huge reduction in police numbers in the province. He says over time, as officers retired or resigned, positions were not filled. “The dwindling in police officers has left communities bleeding. The first thing is to get the numbers right. Next is building competency, quality and refinement,” he said. Going ahead, the auxiliary law enforcement officers will receive continuous, onthe-job legislated training and, after two years, they will advance to being law enforcement officers. Sgt Vernon Johnson, one of the chief trainers at the academy, says the first batch of recruits have shown a tremendous amount of passion and drive. “They are very enthusiastic. There were quite a few who had injuries, but they pushed through. Their level of dedication is phenomenal.” During his 18 years as a police officer, Johnson has worked in the tactical response, gang and drug tasking, and substance abuse units. His experience is but an example of the many skilled and accomplished trainers at the academy who recruits can learn from. Johnson’s parting advice to graduating officers is: “As I mentioned in class, be aware of your surroundings, don’t get sidetracked and always watch your six.”

Learners mark World Wetlands Day A total of 180 learners from Grassy Park and surrounding areas celebrated World Wetlands Day (WWD) on Monday, organised by

The Princess Vlei Forum (PVF) in partnership with the Western Cape Wetlands Forum. World Wetlands Day was on Sunday 2 February and the theme for 2020 is Wetlands and Biodiversity. “Our planet is facing a catastrophic loss of biodiversity in the face of threats such as climate change, plastic waste, industrial pollution and habitat loss. Wetlands are critical for biodiversity, as they support a wide range of species, and serve as nurseries for fish, amphibians and other aquatic animals,” says Bridget Pitt, secretary of The PVF. The Greater Princess Vlei Conservation Area is one of many important urban wetlands in Cape Town. The Princess Vlei Forum is working with the Learners hang messages of gratitude to the creatures of Princess Vlei to City of Cape Town celebrate World Wetlands Day. to rehabilitate and

protect the site, but it faces ongoing challenges. An important part of PVF’s programme is to foster a love of nature among younger residents. “The Western Cape Wetlands Forum is a vehicle for sharing information and expertise regarding the protection, management and restoration of wetlands in the province. It is supported by the departments of environmental affairs and water and sanitation; CapeNature, City of Cape Town, among others. The WWD event was intended give local school children an exciting and enjoyable experience in nature; to raise awareness about the rich biodiversity in this wetland; and to explore ways that learners can help to protect nature,” she says. Included in the programme on Monday were: a visit from Miss Earth South Africa ambassador, Margo Adonis, exploring aquatic invertebrates in the wetland system, led by the Freshwater Research Centre and Educational Games by the Cape Town Environmental Education Trust. “Other activities include canoe rides, offered by Gravity Adventures, bird watching and bird identification led by the Cape Bird club. The Princess Vlei Forum was involved in storytelling and a creative art activity. CapeNature also demonstrated how wetlands purify water,” she says. A highlight of the day was The River of Life, a performance by the Jungle Theatre Company. Sponsors of the event include the WWF-SA; Hans Hoheisen Charitable Trust, managed by Nedbank Private Wealth, which funds the Princess Vlei Forum’s educational programme, Abenaki Spur Steak Ranch and the Grassy Park Spar.

ATHLONE

Learners receive stationery packs T

he non-government organisation (NGO), Muslim Hands in Athlone extended their stationery drive to the West Coast. Since its inception in 2014, the organisation has assisted over 3 000 needy children with stationery all over South Africa. “We assist the learners with their stationery requirements at the start of a new school year. “We visited the farm school Holvlei Primary School in Hopefield, Jurie Hayes Primary School and the Louwville High School in Vredenburg,” says Aisha Adam, spokesperson for the NGO. She says 70 children from neighbouring informal settlements attend the farm school and due to limited resources, the school accommodates up to three grades in one classroom. The stationery pack to the value of R200 contains a pack of hardcover books, a pack

of softcover books, pencils, eraser, ruler, crayons, colouring pencils, two glue sticks and two packs of covering sheets. According to Adam, their team conducts an assessment and rolls out projects to meet the needs of the people. “Children from schools in the Boland are from rural, impoverished areas. Due to the long distance, they are mostly excluded from sponsorship schemes and do not have the luxury of having many NGOs going out to assist them compared to schools in Cape Town,” she says. Various schools in and around the Cape Flats have received stationery and assistance from them in the past years. “Due to the unavailability of resources to cater for the children in individual classrooms, we have to put them all in one classroom. “We divide the grades such that Grades 1,

Children from Jurie Hayes Primary School in Vredenburg were excited to receive stationery.

2 and 3 are placed in one classroom while Grades 4, 5 and 6 are place in a different classroom. We have one teacher that teaches the lower grades, and I teach the higher grades. It is a lot of pressure as we have to cover all three curriculums of the grades we oversee,” says Colin Witbooi, principal at Holvlei. He says the stationery packs have been a big help; easing financial strain on families. Speaking at the handover at Jurie Hayes, programmes manager for the NGO Sheikh Haashim Peck says: “Muslim Hands decided to assist in the West Coast as many times, businesses and organisations, do not come out here due to the travelling distance. We hope to see progress and hope we have made an impact for other learners.” Jurie Hayes principal Donny Jacobs says most of the learners come from informal settlements and disadvantaged areas of Vre-

denburg, and travel by bus daily. “Most of the children come from homes of single parents, and the mothers don’t work, so it puts them in a very tight position where they can’t afford basic things like stationery. “The stationery packs will bring a huge relief and will prevent a confrontation between parents and teachers who don’t have the required stationery.” Seven boxes of shoes were handed over at the sports day of Louwville High and an additional 70 packs at the Hopefield Mosque. Sheikh Refaat Carolus, representative of the NGO, thanked the team that travelled from Athlone. “We have several projects rolled out until March and these include skills training, bread distributions and local water projects,” he said.

Muslim Hands donated stationery packs at Holvlei Primary School in Hopefield. Principal of the school, Colin Witbooi (far left) was extremely thankful. Present at the handover was Sheikh Refaat Carolus (far left sitting with children), Muslim Hands programmes manager Sheikh Haashim Peck (second left) and team members of Muslim Hands.

New head at the helm for the provincial health department A successor for the current provincial head of health was officially announced on Thursday 23 January. Dr Keith Cloete will take up office on Wednesday 1 April, following the retirement of Dr Beth Engelbrecht. Provincial minister for health, Dr Nomafrench Mbombo says: “Dr Cloete has deep roots in the communities of the Western Cape. Hailing from Worcester, and having studied medicine at the University of Cape Town (UCT), he performed his internship at Groote Schuur, New Somerset, Peninsula Maternity and Red Cross hospitals. He started his professional career as a medical offi-

cer at the Mitchell’s Plain Community Health Centre, and has worked in multiple positions towards the senior management level in the department over the past 28 years. I believe he is well-positioned to grasp the community needs but also the complexities of the wide range of health systems challenges. He has also worked extensively in inter-governmental initiatives locally, and has participated nationally and internationally as part of various health initiatives.” Cloete has outlined some of his focus areas for the next five years to include serving every member of society to have a healthier and more dignified life, working collabora-

tively with citizens and all sectors of society to address the health care needs of all citizens, as part of providing universal health coverage and creating an endearing culture of trust and mutual respect within the department. He will also focus on investing in the development of the capabilities of all staff members to provide leadership and being able to cope with the ever-increasing complexities faced in the healthcare system and to continually improving the healthcare system in the province. “I am humbled by the responsibility of the position that I will hold. I am thankful for

the opportunity to play my part to contribute towards the greater good, with a special commitment to the most vulnerable members of society. I thank my predecessors for the solid foundation that has been laid to build upon, and pay my sincerest appreciation to especially Dr Beth Engelbrecht for her exemplary leadership and for creating an enabling and person-centred culture in our department, over the past five years. I am extremely fortunate to be able to work with an exceptional team of managers and clinical staff members. I believe that we will continually improve our healthcare system in order to serve our society better.”

Angelo beats the odds and achieves six certificates AVRIL FILLIES Angelo Williams (12), a Grade 6 learner at Athwood Primary School in Hanover Park came top of his class with six certificates despite difficult circumstances in his community. Angelo is from the Flamingo Heights informal settlement but he did not let difficulties in Hanover Park, where drug and alcohol abuse and gangsterism is rife, deter him. Athwood Primary School aims to create a safe environment through education in Hanover Park. “Early childhood development (ECD) is our priority as we can change the way the child thinks, and shape them for the future,” says principal Evan Petersen. The school would like to offer ECD development for Grade 0 and Grade R classes, cultural activities, recycling, sport training to develop social skills and adding to their scheme at school. “We would also like to equip our learners with skills like computer classes to market

them in the business world. Athwood Primary serves needy areas such as Hanover Park, Heatherdale Home, Leliebloem Home, St Francis Home, Marsh Memorial, Girl & Boys Town, Booth Memorial, St George’s Home, informal settlements around Ottery, Flamingo Crescent, Phillipi Browns Farm and children from Zambia, Malawi, Zimbabwe, Kenya and Congo, etc. “Our school is a no-fee school, all our children receive a government subsidy, but that is the bare minimum. Feeding of these learners becomes our responsibility as the government feeds 200 children, but our shortfall is a further 200,” he says. The school is dependent on the goodwill of the community to assist with fundraising to keep the school going. “During the school holidays we need food parcels for our needy learners. The majority of our learners have no parents and are looked after by grandmothers or guardians. With the food parcels and contributions from the community we try to assist these learners,” Petersen says.

His big dream is to build a hall for Athwood Primary, but funding is a problem. “We are currently using two classrooms as a small hall. We need the classroom space as we are growing substantially annually. We are appealing for funding to make this project a reality. It would bring a sense of hope for our very needy learners. Our school could also generate much needed funds for self sustainability by hosting concerts, assemblies and other fundraising events at the school. “We need assistance to achieve our goals and to uplift the community we serve,” he appeals. The school also need books, shelves, a fridge, microwave, used computers, used furniture items, mats, foodstuff, incentive gifts, or anything that they can use. Mark Kleinschmidt, councillor for ward 60, is going to assist Angelo with all his stationery needs, text books and school uniform. V Contact the school on 021 692 1376 or email athwoodprimary1@gmail.com to assist.

CAPE TOWN

Sights, sound and splendour SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS @Samantha_Lee121

t has been a decade of splendour for the Cape Town Carnival having lit up the streets of Cape Town with colour. Looking ahead to the next 10 years, the 11th carnival will celebrate the “Incredible journey: sounds of South Africa”. The official theme was launched at Nasdak, the rooftop venue at the Media24 centre, in the CBD on Friday 31 January, beginning the 50 days’ countdown to this year’s event. “We started with one float in Long Street with 12 000 spectators,” says Prof Rachel Jafta who has been part of the carnival for several years. She says, this year, carnival goers can expect to see and hear parades inspired by all local sounds – from marimba to marabi, uhadi to riel – showcasing the music, song, dance and art of our country. Jay Douwes, CEO of Cape Town Carnival, says: “We are celebrating 10 years of igniting joy and unity through creativity. Through this project, we have seen the incredible ingenuity and talent of our people and are proud to have been able to provide the platform for locals and international visitors to experience this.” People’s Post is an official media partner of the event. General access to the carnival is free but

bleacher-style terraced platform seats are available for purchase (R350 each) along with the ultimate Cape Town Carnival hospitality experience – exclusive raised-platform seating, including drinks and finger foods (R1 390 each). Reggy Moalusi, head of corporate affairs for Multichoice South Africa, says: “At the end of the day, we want to enrich people’s lives and make a positive and valued difference. That’s what makes our partnership with the Cape Town Carnival compelling.” Several exciting floats, along with 2000 performers, will again line the streets. To close the show, a float inspired by the Afro-future will excite audiences and offer an insight into what organisers believe the future of the country and the carnival will look like. The much-anticipated Cape Town Carnival will take place on the Fan Walk on Saturday 21 March. Thousands of spectators are once again expected to line the streets. Cape Town mayor Dan Plato says the City is excited to once again be part of the carnival as it is a unique opportunity that unites people from all over the city. Plato says they will continue to enforce their stance on gender-based violence and use their platform to say: “Enough is enough”. V Samantha Lee-Jacobs took these photos.

CELEBRATE LOVE: Actor, dancer and singer Alvon Collison will host his Valentine’s Day show on Sunday 16 February at the Dutch Reformed Church in Milnerton from 15:00 to 18:00. Tickets cost R120 per person and includes a warm beverage and koeksisters. The dress code is red and white. For bookings, call 021 551 0969.

Dutch organist to perform in Cape Town Famous Dutch organist Minne Veldman will host two concerts on Friday 21 February at 19:30 at the Brackenfell Dutch Reformed Church in Church Street, and on Saturday 22 February at 19:00 at the Lutheran Church in Strand Street, Cape Town. Compositions by Bach, Händel, Guilmant and Widor are on the programme, as well as works by Veldman himself. He performs around 50 solo concerts a year in the Netherlands. During 2019, which was his 25th year cele-

bration, he also performed in South Africa, Paris, Germany, Austria and Hungary. He is an active composer and arranger, and has released 12 solo CDs to date. Tickets for the two concerts are available at the door. Tickets cost R80 for adults, R50 for pensioners and children under the age of 12 can enter for free. For more information on the upcoming concerts by the Dutch musician, email carikebyker@gmail.com.

Don your party gear for fun-filled performances, taking place on Saturday 14 March at 19:00 and Sunday 15 March at 17:00. The charity fundraiser, orchestrated by the Rotary Club of Wynberg in association with Fine Music Radio, assures an unforgettable delight of orchestra, choirs, sing-alongs and entertainment. A lineup of extraordinary talent will take to the stage. The programme is designed and led by well-known conductor, Richard Cock. Rocco de Villiers, a South African pianist and entertainer, will keep the crowd amused while young violinist Jordon Brooks showcases his passion and talent for the strings. The flair continues as internationally acclaimed opera singer Nombulelo Yende uses her voice to transport you into the sensational world of clas- Violinist Jordon Brooks

sical music.

THE BAXTER

Master artists converge for celebration M

ore than 200 artists and arts leaders from South Africa and around the world will gather at the Baxter Theatre for the Rolex Arts Weekend on Saturday 8 and Sunday 9 February. The Arts Weekend, a series of public events – talks, readings, exhibitions and performances, including two world premieres – will feature the work of the 2018-2019 protégés of the Rolex Mentor and Protégé Arts Initiative with their mentors. The two-day celebration pairs master artists with emerging artists in several disciplines for a period of creative exchange. “The Baxter is a most appropriate venue for the Arts Weekend,” said Rebecca Irvin, head of the Rolex Arts Initiative. “Not only is it known for presenting a variety of progressive works, it is led by CEO and artistic director Lara Foot, herself a former protégée of the theatre great Sir Peter Hall in the 2004-2005 series.” Through these events, the protégés will demonstrate the insights

they gained from their mentors. Foot says the opportunity to host the event is an honour for her and for the Baxter. “As the years go by, I find that my year-and-a half with Peter, nearly 15 years ago, has become richer and more meaningful. As I become more of a mentor and as my writing evolves and I take on bigger challenges with my directing, I find that the time with my mentor becomes more recent. So, in a sense, it never really ended.” This year the event is being curated by Fruzsina Szép, the Hungarian-born festival and artistic director of Lollapalooza Berlin, who also served as an arts initiative nominator, helping to identify suitable potential protégés for the programme in 2018-2019. Highlights over the weekend include dance, architecture, literature, music, arts symposia and cinema. The Arts Weekend kicks off on Saturday from 10:00 to 11:30, with the symposium entitled “Who is

Unrepresented in the Arts Today? The Arts in Times of Polarization”, in the main theatre. Professor Homi K Bhabha will lead the discussions with Foot, AnneMarie Jacir, Yo Yo Ma and Wole Soyinka. The Sunday programme starts at 14:00 until 15:30, with the second symposium, moderated by Bhabha, with William Kentridge, Tracy K Smith, Mira Nair, Stephen Frears and Robert Wilson, entitled “Other Muses: Inspirations from Elsewhere”, in the main theatre. In addition to the symposia and the mentor-protégé events, an Arts Weekend Cinema at the Baxter’s Golden Arrow Studio will feature films about the Rolex Arts Initiative, with past and present mentors and protégés. These screenings are free and will take place from 12:00 until 21:00 on both days. Ticket prices are R100 and R50 for students. All proceeds will go the Baxter’s Zabalaza Theatre Festival.

A crime stat is only recognised once it has been reported to police, that is according to Charnel Hattingh, spokesperson for one of the country’s security firms. She says newspapers and social media channels are filled with reports of ATM fraud, cellphones being snatched while people are waiting for taxis and other opportunistic crimes, yet, only a small percentage of these crimes are reported. “A large number of crimes simply go unreported because of the nature of the crime or because of a lack of confidence in the system,” says Hattingh. She says selective reporting of crime is problematic as it contributes to the dissemination of misinformation around crime, rather than accurate and contextualised information which the police and private security companies can then work on to apprehend the suspects. “No matter how big or small or how insignificant you feel the crime is, it needs to be reported. If the suspects are apprehended at a later date there is often no charge as there has been no complainant or case number to attach it to,” says Hattingh. Here are five reasons to report crime: .

Yankees beat Eagles in KO semi NOORE NACERODIEN

he Turfhall softball stadium was abuzz when Westridge Yankees beat Khayelitsha Eagles 11-7 in the men’s Major League knockout semi-final on Sunday 2 February. Eagles took seven hits off veteran pitcher Wendall Solomons who struck out seven batters and gave up six free bases. Yankees out-hit their much-fancied opponents taking 11 hits off Moses Molaba. Solomons also led the offensive for Yankees with a superb 3-4 batting performance, including a double and a triple. Yankees will meet their old foes, Hamiltons, who defeated a young Tantasport 14-8, in the finals in March. In the women’s Super League knockout semi-finals, Lavender Hill easily defeated Kenfac Phillies 13-0. The win means they will meet Westridge Yankees, the only team that beat them this year, in the final in March. Yankees booked their place in the final after beating a gallant Glenthorn A’s 13-8 after the teams were deadlocked at eight-all in the sixth innings. It was the power batting of Nicole Williams (3-4), Jacky Adonis (2-3) and Nuraan Williams (2-4) that saw the Yankees cross the finish line in style. Lynn Lakay (3-4) shone with the bat for A’s.

US college tour The week-long visit by the Gustavus Adolphus College from Minnesota in the United States of America, was a hit with officials and players. The morning clinic, conducted by the visitors, was well attended by young players from local clubs and schools.
