A look behind the scenes Lucky Mloteli is painstakingly converting a rather colourful neck piece to a monochrome colour scheme using nail polish. The jewellery will form part of costumes for the upcoming Cape Town Carnival. Several others are also hard at work in an effort to put together the costumes, floats and props at their Maitland workshop that will highlight this year’s theme. Read more on page 4.

Pair’s resounding tribute KAYLYNNE BANTOM KAYLYNNE.BANTOM@MEDIA24.COM
“S
oldiers in education.” This is how the principal of Kenmere Primary School, André Johannessen, described two teachers who are retiring after a combined total of 79 years at the school. Ruth Moodley, a Grade 2 teacher, and her colleague Maurisa Theunissen, who teaches Grade 1, are putting down the chalk to spend time with their loved ones. Moodley taught at the school for 43 years and Theunissen for 36 years. The walls of the school hall were lined with white and red hearts for a Valentine’s Day event but, on Tuesday 25 February, these hearts signified the love felt for the two teachers. A farewell ceremony was held during a packed assembly. Not even the scorching 37°C in Cape Town could deter fellow teachers, former
principals, learners and parents from bidding their favourite teachers farewell. Johannessen says: “It is a sad moment for us. Both these teachers have been here even before I started. They have always been the pillars of the school; nothing was ever too much for them. They always went that extra mile. The fact that so many learners loved them is testament to the type of women they are.” Johannessen wished them a well-deserved rest and encouraged them to always pray and keep God in the centre of their lives: values which, he says, the school lives by. Tributes for the duo were done by teachers and learners. Each one echoing the same message: “They were exceptional teachers.” Richard Paige, a teacher at the school, says: “You both have devoted many years to the education fraternity. Mrs Moodley, you will be remembered for starting the first English class at the school. You guys have touched our lives for the better. You’ve become the foundation on which the school is built, we appreci-
ate you.” A poem was read, a dance item was performed and a song, titled Women of Strength, was sung. A very fitting song, considering their achievements and the impact the women made at the school. Former principals Alwyn Woodman and Jennifer Daniels were among the attendees. Woodman (80) shared some golden wisdom with the pair. “Enjoy your retirement years and make God your steering wheel not your spare wheel.” Daniels (70) added, “You’re leaving Kenmere better than you found it, keep the flame alive.” Tanica Campbell, a Grade 7 learner, shared her fondest memory of Theunissen: “I could always go to her when I had a problem; she was always willing to assist. I will miss her big heart and her loving spirit.” Another learner Daniel Grill says: “Mrs Moodley taught me discipline and she was always caring. She was my Grade 2 teacher. I
am now Grade 7 and she moulded me into the person I am today.” The educators had a chance to speak too. Moodley says: “My husband is in the ministry and I’m a teacher. We have a deal at home – if our house burns down and the church burns down, he must go to the church first. In my case, if our house burns down and the school burns down, I’ll go to the school first. My heart will always be here.” Theunissen says: “Teaching will always remain my passion. I would like to encourage the learners to continue their school career and to make a success of their lives.” As the assembly adjourned, Grade 1 and 2 learners formed an arch for their former teachers to walk under. Loud applause and cheers echoed through the hall as the teachers waved them goodbye. But not a permanent goodbye. Johannessen reminded them that “the doors at Kenmere Primary will always be open” to them. See pictures on page 2.

PENNED BY A JOURNO
Sounding the alarm “T
urn it down!” is probably the phrase I say the most. Now there are others that I am intimately familiar with, for example, “put your dishes in the sink” or “pick up your clothes”, or “go bath”, but I have found that none of them are as soul destroying as the first one. And here is why. These three words just don’t seem to have any effect. Or, should I say, a very limited one. It takes a mere five minutes – and I know, because I have timed it – for the volume to mysteriously return or even exceed the original offending noise level. What really gets me, though, is my kids’ stock-standard response to this directive: “What, I can’t hear you?” Well, of course you can’t. And that brings me to the second reason why I loathe uttering these words – the many years of emotional pain and suffering (endured by me) they represent. Before you start thinking that I’m being overly dramatic; sound torture is a thing. Apparently loud music is a type of psycho-
logical warfare used to break the will of prisoners. Just this past Sunday, for instance, while in the midst of a very rare afternoon nap, I was jolted out of my bed by the sound of Camila Cabello singing “Right now, I’m shameless. Screamin’ my lungs out for ya”. Yip, one of my kids is a teenager, and, yes, her room is right next to mine. Don’t get me wrong, while the AmericanCuban singer’s hit song is a huge improvement on Barney the purple dinosaur’s “I love you, you love me”, it is still not exactly, well, music to my ears. Rather it’s causing a ringing in my ears. And that got me thinking. What if this noise that I continue to hear even after the kids have gone to bed is not just a sign of my rapidly declining mental health? What if it is actually a sign that – after 13 years of listening to shrieks, tantrums and various Power Rangers theme songs (at full volume) – it is time to have my hearing tested? With today, 3 March, being World Hearing Day, I guess there is no better time than

the present. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), one billion young people, aged 12 to 35, are at risk for hearing loss due to recreational exposure to loud sound. According to the organisation’s website, symptoms indicating the onset of hearing loss include a ringing sensation in the ear, known as tinnitus; frequently missing parts of a conversation; or a tendency to increase the volume of television, radio or audio devices. Is anybody else really concerned right now? But, not to worry, I’ve come up with a plan. First, I’m going to download the WHO’s free “hearWHO” app to all our devices. The app allows you to check your hearing regularly and to intervene early in case of hearing loss. And, secondly, I am going to take back (volume) control by confiscating all of the TV remotes. Starting tomorrow. Yes, I know. You’ve heard that one before. - Nettalie Viljoen
ECD caucus to pave the way for increased access The Centre for Early Childhood Development (CECD) will host a national conference aimed at increasing access and improving quality of Grade R and early childhood development (ECD) programmes in South Africa. The conference taking place from Tuesday 21 to Thursday 23 July in Cape Town will showcase the best practices of Grade R and ECD across South Africa. The conference targets delegates representing government departments, donors and grant makers, ECD non-profit organisations, Grade R teachers at primary schools and ECD centres, ECD teachers and managers, technical and vocational education and training (TVET) colleges and universities. Space will be limited to 200 delegates. CECD director Prof Eric Atmore says since only a small number of children are in quality Grade R and ECD programmes, it is imperative
that effective programmes are put in place and that access to these programmes is increased and the quality improved. “This will be enhanced if providers throughout the country are able to share their experiences of Grade R and ECD and commit to working together,” says Atmore. CECD is currently in the process of securing speakers. The conference seeks presentations on the following: . Academic or research inputs on ECD and Grade R; . Examples of quality Grade R and ECD programmes; . Grade R and ECD curriculum; . Play as an essential part of Grade R and ECD; . Advancing literacy and numeracy in Grade R and ECD.

CAPE TOWN
Amputee rewrites history books KAYLYNNE BANTOM @bantomkaylynne
A
t the beginning of each year people make resolutions. Some aim to eat healthier, find a new hobby, break old habits and start new traditions. But a Sport Management lecturer at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT) is aiming a little higher – in fact 5 895 metres above sea level, to be exact. Zizipho Ndlwana (29) will become the first transtibial (below the knee) amputee to summit Mount Kilimanjaro for a second time in just six years. Ndlwana, an ambassador for the Guts 2 Glory Trust Foundation, a non-governmental organisation (NGO) that aims to help disabled and underprivileged athletes to achieve their sporting potential, first climbed the highest mountain in Africa in 2014. Upon answering on why he decided to take on the mountainous task again, he simply explains: “It is for a good cause. I am raising funds for people in need. “I see this as a motivation and an opportunity for me to grow. “To me it’s a reminder that not everything in life is easy but you have to pull through.” Kilimanjaro is the highest single free-standing mountain in the world. The summit started on Saturday 29 February. Ndlwana says: “It will take us five days up, one day down, so six days in total.” Ndlwana’s says this time his hiking group includes three wheelchairbound athletes and another amputee. Ndlwana says Lee Wyser, founder of
the Guts 2 Glory Trust Foundation, has been the brains behind his Kilimanjaro expeditions. He added that she and her team are set to provide support to the climbers. Ndlwana says you cannot really prepare for the conditions of the mountain as Cape Town and Tanzania differ, so one can only prepare for what you can. He added that his physical preparations included extensive aerobic exercises, walking, hiking and a good and healthy diet containing high protein foods for muscle recovery after the exercises. He says climbing a second time around doesn’t come without its own challenges. “When I summited Kilimanjaro in 2014 I weighed 18kg lighter than I do now, we also have athletes that are in wheelchairs joining us, so it will be a new learning curve for me. But I am looking forward to it. Bring it on,” challenged Ndlwana. He aims to motivate and inspire other physically challenged athletes to not allow themselves to be held back from achieving great things. He says: “I hope for a successful summit and to raise enough money to be able to help the underprivileged. We will also be going to a children’s home in Tanzania.” The lecturer shared an empowering message to others. “You can achieve anything, you just need to push yourself, and you need to believe in yourself. Hold on to the positive things. Do the things that people say you cannot do. That’s how you grow.”

CAPE TOWN CARNIVAL
Creativity lights fan walk SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS SAMANTHA.LEE@PEOPLESPOST.CO.ZA @SAMANTHA_LEE121
W
ith enough frills, glitter, sequin, paint and everything in between to line the entire fan walk, the production of the costumes and floats for this year’s Cape Town Carnival are well under way. With a conscious mind of the environmental impact that an event of its magnitude can have, this year sees the team reusing as much as possible while creating the thousands of costumes and props that will be on display. In its 11th edition, the Cape Town Carnival will light up the streets in an explosion of colour and sound in keeping to the “Incredible journey: sounds of South Africa” theme. From a giant eland representing the contributions of the first artists – the San, to the traditional ‘big lady’ redressed in a funky hairstyle, you can expect to see it all – even a gigantic bust of Nelson Mandela all accompanied by 2 000 ecstatic and energetic performers dressed in traditional regalia. This year’s carnival takes place on Human Rights Day, Saturday 21 March along the 1.2km of the Green Point Fan Walk, and organisers expect more than 50 000 people to turn up. Hundreds of workers are busy behind the scenes. Some of them are students who have volunteered their time to put together the show. Levern Dewee is one of them. “The carnival has become such a part of our lives that I cannot imagine my life without it now,” says Dewee. Brad Baard, creative director of the Carnival, says: “South Africa is known worldwide for its rich texture of cross-culture influences – we’re a country with 11 official languages, after all – so it’s little wonder that this year’s theme, which showcases the

Crime spike in Woodstock KAYLYNNE BANTOM @bantomkaylynne Woodstock police warn that crime is on the increase in the area. The police say in recent weeks a spate of house burglaries, theft of and out of motor vehicles have been reported. Lt Gen Alroy Van der Berg, acting station commander, says: “Victoria Road and the railway line at Woodstock and Salt River have been identified as hot spots for criminals to target people.” He says the perpetrators monitor their victims and then strike. “Their modus operandi is they keep a close eye on their victims and then they run towards the person, grab whatever is valuable and then jump onto a train or a getaway car.” Van der Berg asked people not to walk around with valuables such as cell phones, cameras and jewellery. He says often the victims are not familiar with the area. The officer says theft out of vehicles is prevalent in Observatory. He warned motorists not to leave valuables in eyesight when they leave their vehicles. Van der Berg extended the same advice to homeowners. According to Van der Berg, Observatory has seen a spike in the number of burglaries where electronic devices and money are stolen. But he warned people not to lay false charges. “We will investigate whether or not the charges that are being laid is true. People need to be aware that areas in Woodstock policing precinct, Salt River and Observatory are flooded with CCTV cameras.” He says perjury is a serious crime and could lead to a fine or imprisonment. Van der Berg thanked security companies, neighbourhood watches, members of community policing forums and improvement district members. He says they are often first on the crime scene.

Upsets order of the day GOOSAIN ABRAHAMS
U
psets were the order of the day in the latest round of Western Province Cricket Association fixtures played on Saturday 29 February at the Wally Wilson Oval in Rondebosch. The three top sides vying for promotion in the First Division A section all suffered surprise defeats. Tygerberg continued their improved form, this time accounting for log leaders Green Point in convincing style winning by 34 runs. Tyger’s all-rounder Jancan Adams shone with the bat (43*) and ball. A fine knock by Ottomans captain Tariq Behardien (85) laid the foundation for their 45 run win over second-placed Primrose. Then it was the turn of veteran spinner Sadiek Davids (4/24) to put the skids under the Roses batsmen as they were dismissed for 138 in reply to Ottomans 183.
On the third upset of the day, United beat Rylands by 18 runs in a low scoring game. The visitors could only muster 143 /8 in their allotted 50 overs. But Rylands could not get going as they lost wickets at regular intervals with Shaheed Abader (4/26) doing the damage and they were dismissed for 125. All the above results have opened the way Milnerton to enter the race for promotion following their easy 73 run win over Edgemead. In the Premier Division, Bellville upset the more fancied Durbanville side in their derby fixture winning by 60 runs, while Rondebosch remains in the hunt for league honours with a surprisingly easy eight wicket win over UWC. Cape Town was another side that romped to victory, beating Brackenfell by 10 wickets thanks to a fine unbeaten halfcentury (54*) by long-serving opener Willie Hantam. Premier League:

Rugby Sevens is Ashley Evert’s livelihood AVRIL FILLIES AVRIL.FILLIES@MEDIA24.COM
To be part of a great bunch of young men representing a nation with much pride and determination, is the most fulfilling for Ashley Evert, manager of the SA Sevens team. “They are working out their balance in life and sport and are always willing to learn and take advice,” he says. The Wynberg resident is part of the management of the Blitzbokke since 2012 when he was recruited by former coach Paul Treu, after Sebastian Prim was promoted to high performance manager. “Paul needed someone to take over from Sebastian and due to my coaching and technical analysis experience I seemed like the right fit. So I joined the Blitzboks in September 2012,” Ashley says. He grew up on the KZN South Coast, went

Steven Tomasin came onto the circuit with very little international experience and have truly grown into world class players,” Ashley says. On the circuit the managers, conditioning coaches and coaches interact with each other. “Life is about relationships, even though we compete as nations against each other, there is always a common thread of humanity and kindness. As an academic, coach and sport scientist, I have built up relationships not only with the team managers, but also the other disciplines in order to continue to evolve in these disciplines,” he says. Ashley’s goal for 2020 is to grow spiritually. “I want to be the best husband I can be and the best father I can be. To juggle my family and professional lives, I make every moment count and be present in every moment,” Ashley says. He describes himself briefly as a man of God, reliable, trustworthy, a family man and disciplined.
