and partially blind residents. These residents often got bored when sitting in the TV room with other senior citizens who are able to follow what is happening on the screen. Upon People’s Post’s enquiry on how the
drive was doing, manager of the facility Leon Courie said he was overwhelmed by the response from the community. He further said that while the radios keep a lot of the elders occupied, not everything is sunshine and roses at the home.
Courie said that he has been trying to get off the City of Cape Town power grid due to the high electricity bills they have to pay. “As things stand, we pay about R35 000 a month for electricity and the bill just keeps increasing,” Courie said. He further said that although the home is government subsidised, there are other costs that still need to be paid; which makes it difficult to properly maintain it. “The whole idea is to get off the City’s grid so that we can start saving up for additional solar heating panels and we can completely get off the grid.” He said there currently are solar heating panels installed at the facility and that assists with the reduction of electricity costs. Courie pleaded with the community and businesses to help donate supplies because they soon run out. “Some of the sick elders use nappies and those run out very fast. Toiletries and food are also an important need.” He mentioned that, if their application to get off the City’s grid, they would need to buy more solar panels and a back-up battery, which would roughly cost about R60 000. Courie further urged those residing close to the home to volunteer their time by visiting and spending time with the elders. “We have some elders here who do not get visits from their families and that often makes them feel lonely. “Having someone visit them once in a while would mean a lot to these elders.” The home accommodates 97 elders and survives mostly from government subsidy and donations from private businesses. “The subsidy we receive from government has not increased in line with the cost of living and that puts a lot of strain on us. “We use the subsidy mostly for staff salaries and our electricity bills. The rest of the costs are covered by donations, which is often not enough.” V For more information call 021 593 2274 or 082 496 2085.

SALT RIVER
Tech sector has huge potential THABANG KUAHO @thab_journo
M
ayco members and committee members of economic opportunities and asset management visited the Cape Innovation Technology Initiative (CITI) in Salt River on Wednesday 17 July to interact with staff members and students at the campus. Mayco member for economic opportunities and asset management, James Vos and Mayco member for urban management, Grant Twigg, who visited, are actively involved in the technology sector that contributes largely to the South African economy. Vos said that Information Communications Technology (ICT) is an enabler of many other sectors and is also a growth sector with huge potential globally. “It contributes significantly to the provision of business opportunities to SMMEs, the competitiveness of Cape Town with regard to being a knowledge economy,” Vos said. He said it makes good business sense that entrepreneurs bring technology into the way they run their businesses. He said, during a site visit to one of the textile and clothing manufacturers in the City Centre last week, that he was impressed with the way technology has been incorporated into the way garments are designed and manufactured. “At the end of the day, these are the two sectors that will take Cape Town to the next level. I am happy to see how we are putting sectors in perspective.” He said the Department of Economic Opportunities and Asset Management has identified technology as being the key gamechanger because it not only include data and programming, but a driver of business
change that needs to be visible in the city. He said the City needs to provide skills in the sector so that it can move from being the second-largest clothing remanufacturing
country in the world to the first. Twigg said the partnership between the City of Cape Town and CITI aims to facilitate training, skills development and business
development for the ICT industry. “This is one of the critical sectors in which we are addressing the skills demand,” Twigg said.

EDUCATION
Unlocking mindsets A
total of 20 schools in the Western Cape are participating in a pilot to introduce the Department of Basic Education (DBE)’s Entrepreneurship and Employability Education (E3) programme. The DBE aims to create a new culture in South African schools where the youth become more self-reliant, are solution-oriented, and develop proactive, entrepreneurial mindsets. Schools that will be benefiting from this programme include Windermere Primary School, Portia Primary School, Usasazo Secondary School and Tamboerskloof Primary School, among other schools. The target groups of teachers for the pilot are economic management sciences (EMS), life orientation (LO) as well as life skills educators. EMS educators received training last year. Grades 7 to 9 EMS educators, Grade 10 LO educators and Grades 4 to 6 Life Skills
educators received training this year. Tom Ryan, retired director of the University of Cape Town’s executive Master of Business Administration programme, volunteered his time and expertise to design and facilitate a training programme for educators on Project-Based Learning (PBL). In keeping with global trends in education, PBL is used in E3 as the key methodology for developing 21st century skills in learners. Ryan feels he still has a lot to offer South Africa and has volunteered his expertise to help empower educators to use this teaching methodology as part of the E3 initiative. He is a role model for using one’s time during retirement to give back to society. During this term, participating schools will implement projects such as: . Creating cultural awareness through an intercultural event in which a culturallyrich recipe book produced by the class is
launched; . Creating a tower garden to raise awareness of taking responsibility for your own healthy eating and building entrepreneurial skills; . Caring for animals club; . Planning a career expo: future-focused careers. At the end of the third term, learners will host an event where the projects will be showcased to parents, learners and/or the community. Some of the educators commented that as a result of the training, they will do the following differently in term 3: . Teach less, coach more, allow learners to explore and learn; . Generate excitement and make lessons more fun; . More practical, less theory, make work more interesting, take a project-based approach to teaching.
Empowering support for autistic learners The provincial education department’s directorate for inclusive and specialised education support has offered various training sessions to empower the system to support learners with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Training started at the end of the first term when provincial ASD outreach teams trained support advisers (LSAs) and learning support coordinators (LSCs). A total of 72 LSAs and LSCs from all education districts have been trained at different venues. Training on the basics of ASD was extended to learning support educators in all the districts. The aim as always is to empower educators to support ASD learners within all sectors of education. This training will be followed up by more in-depth training throughout the next 12 months. By the beginning of August, approximately 610 educators will have been exposed to the first round of training. Training has also been provided to the various outreach teams rendering therapeutic services to Children with Severe to Profound Intellectual Disabilities (CSPID).
Training has been cascaded down to carers from various special care centres across the province. The ASD outreach teams, as well as school-based teams, trained carers on Tuesday 14 and Wednesday 15 May at different venues. Two-day training sessions took place at Worcester, Riebeeck Valley, Blouvlei School, Beacon School, Chere Botha School, Dorothea School and Carpe Diem School.
A thumbs up According to a statement sent out by the department of education, the feedback at all the training centres was excellent. “During this time, excellent collaboration was established between the various stakeholders. The training will be strengthened by follow-up training sessions on specific topics concerning autism. The CSPID teams who arranged the venues and catering did an outstanding job at ensuring that everyone was comfortable and well looked after,” read the statement. Towards the end of the second term, the teams presented the annual two-week intensive ASD course at two different venues.
This course was originally compiled by Margaret Golding and the management of Vera School (Fanie Minnaar, Cecil Reed and Jana Forrester) and was piloted in 2005.
Meeting the need It was designed to address the needs of educators and related professionals (psychologists, speech therapists, occupational therapists) who worked with or intended to work with learners with ASD. The course is both theoretical and experiential and due to the intensive nature of the course, only 20 delegates can be accommodated at a time. The course is accredited by Autism South Africa. Professionals registered with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) receive Continuous Professional Development (CPD) points for attending the course. The Western Cape Education Department is in the process of getting the course accredited with the South African Council for Educators as well. The general feedback on the various training sessions was positive and overall a need for more training on ASD was expressed.
Draft coastal bylaw open for comment A Coastal bylaw aimed at managing and protecting Cape Town coasts will be open for public comment at the beginning of August. The draft bylaw is also aimed at improving safety at beaches in and around Cape Town. The Coastal Management Branch has drafted the proposed bylaw and it is founded on the principles of the Integrated Coastal Management Policy and Coastal Management Programme that were adopted by council in 2014 and 2015 respectively, and the National Environmental Management Integrated Coastal Management Act 36 of 2014 as amended. Mayco member for spatial planning and environment, Marian Nieuwoudt says: “Cape Town is synonymous with rolling waves, rocky shores, dolphins, whales, and sunsets on pristine beaches. “Our coastline draws millions of tourists and local visitors every year; it is central to our identity, and gives us a sense of place and pride. “We also cannot overestimate the importance of the coast to our local economy. It is a public asset that must be preserved and protected for current and future generations. “The draft bylaw will Public are asked
assist us to better manage our coastline and enable law enforcement of activities that may have a damaging impact on the coastal environment.” It will be available for public comment from Thursday 1 August until Monday 2 September. The City will, during this time, also host eight public hearings across Cape Town where residents can ask questions, and comment. The draft bylaw will be applicable to the coastal zone, which is a public area that belongs to all South Africans. It covers the seashore, the coastal waters, and the environment on, in, under, and above the coastal zone.
. Removal of sand, pebbles, rocks, shells, and kelp; . Removal of or damage to indigenous coastal vegetation; . Littering; . Pollution and dumping; . Encroachment of private property into the coastal environment; . Measures to remove encroachments, and rehabilitate affected land; . Possession or consumption of liquor or drugs; . Hawking or doing business without authorisation; . Launching of vessels; . Issuing of fines for contraventions. “One of the most important aspects of The proposed bylaw addresses the the proposed bylaw is that it will give the following in general terms: City the legislative powers to enforce the . Poaching or illegal fishing; public’s right to access and enjoy our . Harvesting, or removal of vegetation; beaches and sea. “Some residents are claiming the beaches or parcels of land in front of their properties as their own private areas by either extending their homes or gardens, sinking swimming pools, or building walkways with ‘no-access’ signs on it. Our coastline belongs to all South Africans, and the bylaw will be used to entrench this right,” says to comment on a new bylaw. PHOTO: SAMANTHA LEE Nieuwoudt.

A word for sectional title owners A
n increasing percentage of home sales in South Africa are in sectional title (ST) schemes, and buyers of these properties need to be aware that they don’t have the same freedom about additions and alterations as those who buy full title homes. So says Andrew Schaefer, managing director (MD) of national property management company, Trafalgar. “The thing about ST schemes is that whatever one owner does is bound to affect other owners – even if they just want to make changes within the walls of own unit,” he says. “Noise, mess, and security are all concerns for your fellow owners, even if you are just revamping a kitchen, renovating a bathroom or installing new flooring inside your ST unit. “If electrical work or plumbing is involved, for instance, you may need to get a certificate of compliance in order not to invalidate the whole scheme’s insurance.” Schaefer says if the work is being done by a contractor, there could be a security risk with a group of non-residents and various delivery vehicles going in and out of the complex for several days, or a risk of dam-
age to common property. “This is why the Sectional Title Act stipulates that no alterations to units are permitted without the consent of the scheme’s trustees – and that they are allowed to limit the days and hours during which such work can take place, and may ask you to make special arrangements to ensure that the security of the complex is maintained,” he says. In addition, he says it is important to ensure health and safety compliance on the part of any contractors working in the complex. “So you will need to check that any contractor working on changes to your unit has the appropriate safety files, public liability insurance; any industry-specific certification that may be required,” says Schaefer.
Follow the right steps Following the correct procedure becomes even more important, Schaefer says, should you wish to extend the floor area of your section or make changes that would affect the exterior appearance of the whole scheme – and in fact, Section 24 of
the Act states that you can’t do so without a special resolution of the body corporate.
Getting other involved “But before you even get to that, you should first consult the trustees to see if the scheme has rules regarding the materials and architectural style to be used if sections are extended, then find out what the local authority’s requirements and costs are for submitting building plans for your planned extension. “Next you will need to get a quote from a land surveyor for drawing up a new sectional plan of the complex – which will need to be approved by the surveyor general – and a quote from a conveyancing attorney to register the new plan at the deeds office. “This will be necessary because any change to the size of your section will affect the participation quotas of the whole scheme,” he says. Once you have all this information, Schaefer says, you will be able to compile a proposal detailing your intended extension in terms of approved building plans and your agreement to carry the costs of drawing up and registering the new sectional plan, then try
to secure the special resolution you will need to go ahead. “To obtain this, you can either approach all other owners in the scheme individually and get written permission from 75% of them in both number and value, or call for a general meeting and seek a vote of approval from 75% of owners or proxies present at the meeting, also in both number and value,” Schaefer says. If you succeed, says Schaefer, you can go ahead and get your building plans approved, build your extension and then call in the land surveyor to prepare the new draft sectional plan and get it approved by the surveyor general.“One additional detail to watch out for is that if your extension has been built over an existing exclusive use area (EUA) that was registered on the previous sectional plan, that EUA will need to be cancelled and a new, smaller one ceded to you by the body corporate before the new sectional plan can be registered by the conveyancer.And while this may all seem unnecessarily complicated, it is really worth doing correctly, because if you don’t, your ability to sell your unit in the future may be severely hampered.”
Interest rate cut is good news

As was widely expected, the Reserve Bank decided to cut interest rates by 0.25 percentage points last week, amid indications that international oil prices could fall further and that slowing global growth could prompt a round of rate cuts by most major central banks. The move brings the repo rate to 6.5% and the prime lending rate to 10% and will translate, for existing homeowners, into a saving of R16 a month per R100 000 borrowed. On a R1m loan, for example, the saving would be R166 a month and potentially almost R40 000 over R20 years. The change also means that first-time borrowers will now find it easier to qualify for a loan – with the gross household income requirement for a R1m loan falling from R33 000 a month to R32 000 a month. “Equally importantly,” says Rudi Botha, chief executive officer (CEO) of leading bond originator BetterBond.

“It will lower monthly bond repayments and make home-ownership more affordable at a time when household budgets are under severe pressure.” The Reserve Bank’s decision follows news that international oil prices are likely to fall thanks to the United States of America (USA) declaring bigger reserves than expected and the prospect of a settlement between the USA and Iran. This lowers the risk of a significant rise in local inflation, he notes. “Meanwhile, China’s economic growth rate has fallen to the lowest level in 27 years and other Asian economies are also struggling, with the result that rates have already been lowered in Korea and Indonesia. In addition, the Federal Reserve is expected to lower rates in the USA this month, and the European Central Bank recently announced that it is unlikely to raise its borrowing rate from the current 0% until late 2020 at the earli-
est. “This creates leeway for the Reserve Bank to lower SA rates without the country becoming unattractive to international investors, who are always looking for the best returns on their money. Indeed, the latest available figures show that Foreign Direct Investment in SA grew by 446% last year and was also positive in the first quarter of this year.” More importantly, says Botha, the rate cuts should give the local economy and job creation a muchneeded boost at a critical time, and bolster a fragile recent recovery in consumer confidence. “This is vital for the real estate market which runs on positive sentiment, and we hope for an increase now in housing demand which has been relatively flat for the past year.” Governor Lesetja Kganyago said on Thursday 18 July the Reserve Bank expected the economy to grow at a rate of 0.6% this year and 1.8% in 2020, after rebounding from its first-quarter slump.

MUNICIPAL SERVICES
Mobile office at your service M
ore than 7000 housing-related queries have been logged with the City of Cape Town since the MyEstate mobile housing office service was launched in 2017. The office is aimed at making municipal services more accessible to residents. This month the services were taken to Parkwood, Lotus River, Hangberg, Mitchell’s Plain, Kensington, Bo-Kaap, Langa, Maccassar, Albow Gardens, Bellville-South, Mfuleni and Woodlands. More areas are expected to benefit from the mobile office next month. According to the statement from the City, through the programme the office renders tenancy management services such as logging service requests on behalf of the tenants, assisting resi-
dents with rent relief applications, housing database queries and new applications, completion of lease agreements, arrangements for rental accounts in arrears and with general enquiries. Mayco member for human settlements Malusi Booi says the mobile service plays a vital role for many tenants. “This allows them to discuss their housing-related queries, be it linked to their rental accounts, service requests, or future housing opportunities. Residents are, therefore, encouraged to check the schedule of when the mobile office will be in their areas,” Booi says.

HANOVER PARK | MANENBERG
Army keeps a watchful eye SIPHESIHLE NOTWABAZA @SihleMusic
H
anover Park residents welcomed the deployment of the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) members in their community. They hope that this will scare off gangsters and drug lords. On the evening of Thursday 18 July, the soldiers joined a search operation by the police and other law enforcement agencies in Hanover Park and Manenberg. They searched vehicles driving into the areas for illegal items such as drugs and firearms. Efforts to get a comment from the two government security agencies were in vain. They remained tight-lipped about how long they were going to be in the area and what was the way forward. The deployment of the army made headlines in the media when they arrived in Cape Town last week. Since then, they have joined various operations. During an operation in Hanover Park residents watched as the gun-carrying soldiers kept an eye on the proceedings. They shared sentiments of feeling safe with the heavy presence of the soldiers in their midst. Quadriyah September, a resident, said she hoped the shooting by gangsters would stop now that the soldiers are visible. She said she appreciated the gesture and the effort but according to her, the hotspot for gangsters is an open space not far from where the soldiers were stationed. “I wish they could stay here forever and never leave,” she said. Another relieved resident, Wayne Ryneveld described the patrol as a “good thing”. He said there are always shootings in the ar-
ea. “We cannot even sit outside at night, we thank the minister for responding to the call (to deploy soldiers),” he said. As much as he appreciates the presence of the soldiers he added that he does not think the gangsters will be deterred. “They (gangsters) are not afraid of guns and prisons so they will not even stop what they are doing while the soldiers are here,” he said. He said as soon as the soldiers leave, shootings will resume in the area. He said they have lost a lot of children to gang-related shootings. Another resident, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to fear for her life, also welcomed the patrol but had an issue with where the soldiers were stationed. She agreed with her neighbours that the hotspot was the open field in the area where gangs loiter. “Crime is bad in the area, it is very dangerous here. We witness it as the community every day and we live in danger so I feel like the soldiers came late,” she said. Ward 47 councillor Antonio van der Rheede said they are happy with the deployment in the community. He said he wished they were deployed earlier. That, he reckons, would have prevented the loss of many lives. Van der Rheede said he does not know how long the army would be based in the area as that is “top secret.” “We just want to appeal to the community to be tolerant as the soldiers search every car because they do not know who is who. People must know that one minute can save a life,” he said. He said it was unfortunate that it had to get to a point where soldiers were to be sent when the police is there, fully resourced.

scheme’s insurance.” Schaefer says if the work is being done by a contractor, there could be a security risk with a group of non-residents and various delivery vehicles going in and out of the complex for several days, or a risk of damage to common property. “This is why the Sectional Title Act stipulates that no alterations to units are permitted without the consent of the scheme’s trustees – and that they are allowed to limit the days and hours during which such work can take place, and may ask you to make special arrangements to ensure that the security of the complex is maintained,” he says. In addition, he says it is important to ensure health and safety compliance on the part of any contractors working in the complex. “So you will need to check that any contractor working on changes to your unit has the appropriate safety files, pub-
lic liability insurance; any industry-specific certification that may be required,” says Schaefer. Following the correct procedure becomes even more important, Schaefer says, should you wish to extend the floor area of your section or make changes that would affect the exterior appearance of the whole scheme – and in fact, Section 24 of the Act states that you can’t do so without a special resolution of the body corporate. “But before you even get to that, you should first consult the trustees to see if the scheme has rules regarding the materials and architectural style to be used if sections are extended, then find out what the local authority’s requirements and costs are for submitting building plans for your planned extension. “Next you will need to get a quote from a land surveyor for drawing up a new sectional plan of the complex – which will need to be approved by the surveyor gener-
al – and a quote from a conveyancing attorney to register the new plan at the deeds office. “This will be necessary because any change to the size of your section will affect the participation quotas of the whole scheme,” he says. Once you have all this information, Schaefer says, you will be able to compile a proposal detailing your intended extension in terms of approved building plans and your agreement to carry the costs of drawing up and registering the new sectional plan, then try to secure the special resolution you will need to go ahead. “To obtain this, you can either approach all other owners in the scheme individually and get written permission from 75% of them in both number and value, or call for a general meeting and seek a vote of approval from 75% of owners or proxies present at the meeting, also in both number and value....,” Schaefer says.

Feast on insects THABANG KUAHO @thab_journo
V
ery few people know of restaurants serving insects – well, not insects as such, but insect-based foods. Situated on Sir Lowry Street in Woodstock, The Insect Experience is led by food scientist, Leah Bessa, and Jean Louwrens, who serves as the operations manager. Their pop-up store in GOOD; a space where businesses, society and the environment can sustainably exist while redefining
sustainability as the complete overhaul of the way people produce, consume and create, has received a lot of attention from media and consumers since it was opened in June this year. The plan was to serve only ice cream made from insect larvae, but the two went on to create a whole menu of insect-based foods such as date balls, cream wafers and chocolate, which all are covered in mealworms. They also sell popcorn sprinkled with mopane worm salt. “We started Gourmet Grubb in 2017, we
The Insect Experience in Woodstock serves food made of insects. spent the following two years researching developing a dairy alternative using insects,” Bessa said. “Upon conducting the research, we were originally just going to do ice cream, but then decided on doing something totally different and posted on social media that we were looking for a chef who would like to experiment with insects to produce food.” They were then contacted by chef Mario Barnard, who took an interest in cooking with insects while visiting Thailand in 2015. Bessa then sent Barnard ingredients to experiment with and he managed to come up with some preliminary recipes.
The Insect Experience in Woodstock serves food made of insects.
Insects are nutritious Bessa said they decided to go with insects because they are filled with protein; something that few people know. Taking a risk of this nature is something not many people will do, but the three were brave enough to take that leap of faith and
brave whatever challenges they might face. “Come to think of it, we were really brave when taking such a risk, we could have fallen flat on our faces, but I am glad we did it. “The attention we are receiving is phenomenal because we want to build the industry around sustainable food and ethical protein; and insects are really a good option, but are underutilised.” She said the reason for this is because people have not tried it, so they do not know. “We wanted to create a platform where people can try insects in dishes that are delicious and beautifully plated.” Barnard said his trip to Thailand, where he had the chance to try foods like scorpions, really fascinated him and made him want to try cooking with insects. “When I came back, I tried a couple of times and then I met Leah and Jean. I never looked back since.” Now, he cooks with insects full time. V For more information visit www.instagram.com/ gourmetgrubb/.

Schools embark on a new journey R
ustenburg Girls’ High School embarked on a new and exciting journey called “A school where we all belong” with the aim to facilitate interactions between students and teachers. The aim is to break down those biases that disconnect people from one another, whether it be race, culture, religion or language. Since they began this journey last year, new energy celebrating transformation, diversity and inclusivity was established. The music department, an integral part of everyday school life and for many students, “a home away from home” embraces this vision and therefore decided to put on a production that would celebrate this new-found inclusivity, in conjunction with Rondebosch Boys’ High School and South African College School (SACS). The production, The Armed Man: A Mass for Peace is a work by the Welsh composer, Sir Karl Jenkins, written for choir, orchestra and soloists. It is accompanied by video footage, and was written with the hope that performances across time would encourage young people to think about “the vital issues of war and peace”. The inclusive nature of the work speaks for itself as the various religious and secular texts, as well as the music itself, embrace time periods from the first millennium B.C. to modern times, and bridges Hindu, Islamic, and Christian cultures. With over 350 young people involved in this project on the one hand and the natural inclusivity of the work on the other hand, the work seemed an appropriate choice. The Combined Choral Collaboration is a tradition that dates back to 1968 when Doctor Patrick Wise, director of music at Rondebosch Boys, and Ruth Dosé, choir director at Rustenburg Girls’ High produced the first-ever choral collaboration with Handel’s Messiah.
In 1988, Vetta Wise was appointed as the choir director at Rondebosch Boys’ High School and revived the tradition, initially in a performance of Messiah with the Diocesan College and then continuing with Rustenburg Girls’ High School when Elizabeth Sole was appointed in 1989. SACS joining the collaboration 1998. Since then the collaboration has hosted works such as Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana, John Rutter’s Requiem, David Fanshawe’s African Sanctus, Antonio Lucio Vivaldi’s Gloria, and Jenkins’ The Armed Man. It goes without saying that this type of collaboration involving so many students from three different school demands meticulous
planning. At the beginning of the year, a whole week is set aside for choir auditions as several students, most who do not have any music background, try out. The three schools also ensure as much representation in the orchestra, as possible. For orchestral parts where there are no school players the music staff or professional players are included. Even though the music programme of the three schools is very full, the music staff still manage to make this a positive experience for everyone. For many learners, a project such as this is a once in a lifetime experience and some-
thing they will treasure for the rest of their lives. Renowned composer Alexander Fokkens conducts the Rustenburg Girls’ High School, Rondebosch Boys’ High School, and SACS choirs and orchestra in this exhilarating work. The soloists are Brittany Smith (soprano), Vasti Knoesen (mezzo-soprano), Makudupanyane Senaoana (tenor), and Barend van der Westhuizen (baritone). V Performances are today, Tuesday 23 and tomorrow, Wednesday 24 July at the Cape Town City Hall, starting at 19:30. Tickets are R150 and can be booked on Quicket. For more information call Rustenburg Girls on 021 686 4066.

Concert to calm the storm Four trailblazing musicians are to bring calmness to the Cape of Storms with a titillating display of musical harmony at the fourth Young Artists’ Concert series at Erin Hall in Rondebosch on Friday 26 July, starting at 19:00. Three of the rising stars hail from the annual National Youth Music Competition (NYMC), including the 2015 first prize winner and gold medallist. These are Sakhile Humbane, Dominic Daula and Seiren Wi. With Beate Boshoff (17), the 2018 NYMC runner-up in the piano category is the youngest in the group. Presented by the National Youth Music Foundation (NYMF), this concert is the fourth since the inception of the Young Artists’ Concert Series. The inaugural concert last year coincided with the blood moon and was also held at the intimate 100-seater Erin
Hall.This year’s programme will include piano and flute works by Phillipe Gaubert, Francis Poulenc and Frank Martin. “The NYMC, now in its 35th year, annually attracts the cream of classical instrumentalist between the ages of 14 and 19 to vie for the cash prizes of R145 000 and the sought after gold silver and bronze medals. This year’s competition runs from Tuesday 8 to Saturday 12 October at the Hugo Lambrechts Auditorium in Parow, Cape Town,” says Michael Maas, chairman of the NYMF. “Since the inception of the concert series, the NYMF presented three concerts with huge success. We have exposed eight rising stars in the process, fulfilling our mission to identify, expose and develop local music talent,” says Maas. V Unreserved seats are R120 and R70 for students, learners and pensioners from Computicket.

Baboon interventions are currently working well For five years Human Wildlife Solutions (HWS), an authentic and reputable company, has taken care of baboons very successfully and we all breathe a sigh of relief. Among the team of highly qualified, dedicated and innovative conservationists on the 13 strong staff are a doctor of zoology, BSc honours in biodiversity and conservation ecology, a BSc in botany and zoology, a plant ecologist, a biological control specialist, a primate behaviour scientist, a botanist and a behavioural ecologist. In addition, the famous Professor Justin O’Riain supports the staff from UCT (Univeristy of Cape Town) and the Institute for Communities and Wildlife in
Africa, as he has a special interest in sorting out conflict. We are celebrating this month with HWS that throughout this period of hard work completed, we have been able to enjoy baboons which are kept within a boundary and no longer cause damage to our homes and dogs. Raiding baboons are extremely unpleasant, leaving faeces, urine and disease. Humans share the common whipworm – a gut parasite transmitted through the faeco-oral route. No more traumatised children, no more scratched cars, no more broken lights. We open doors and windows, the roof tiles and gutters, satellite dishes are in one piece.

I notice with great interest the article in Peoples Post, 2 July (Zandvlei water not safe), about unsafe water at Zandvlei Nature Reserve. Also, there are notices on Park Island warning of the pollution, and recommending no swimming, fishing or any other water activity. Surely the City is aware that Zandvlei discharges onto Muizenberg beach? Why are there no warnings on the beach at Muizenberg? Without doubt, Muizenberg would lose its Blue Flag status (if it still manages to hold this status) if this situation were made public, but surfers, swimmers and other people using the beach need to be made aware of the dangers regardless. The City needs to act responsibly. DR ROGER SILBERBERG Marina da Gama
Sharing space with baboons is bad for people and baboons. In urban areas, they are killed by dogs, cars, electricity from phone wires and poisons. It is a romantic notion to wish to share an urban area with a baboon. It results in conflict and ultimately the reduced welfare and conservation status of baboons. So if one truly cares about wildlife, suggesting that baboons should be accepted in urban areas or controlled by unqualified people is in direct contradiction with all research evidence now available.

Declare councillors This is an open letter to the City of Cape Town. I was in a telephonic conversation with an elderly friend of mine from Somerset West and he made a truly shocking revelation that I have heard from many other residents. He stated and I am going to quote him“Keith I have some issues here in Somerset West and what the sad part is I do not know who is my ward councillor, what his or her role is, and how and when and where can I contact him or her.” This shocking statement made me realise that our ward councillors need to advertise who they are and their contact details. If I was the premier I would, as with election posters, place a picture of each ward councillor with their contact details on strategic posts in their respective wards. This would enhance communication and service delivery. KEITH BLAKE Ottery
CPF speaks on SANDF deployment The Grassy Park Community Policing Forum welcomes the deployment of the army to the gang-ridden areas of the Cape Flats. Gangsterism has spiralled out of control. Too many children have already died as a result of gangster shootings in our townships. A man was shot and killed in Lotus River in the Grassy Park police precinct. It hardly made the news. That’s another killing which has become such an everyday occurrence in our area. The residents of Parkwood, Lotus River an Ottery in the police precinct of Grassy Park, must endure wild shootings every day. The Grassy Park police took several guns off the streets in the last few weeks, but the shootings continue. The CPF would like to know that the support forces to the police will also be deployed in our area, sooner rather than later if the shootings and killings are to be stopped. Gangsters have a way of migrating to where it is easier to hide while the forces concentrate on selected areas. We say: Don’t give them that opportunity. Let the gangster know that he can run but will not find a place to hide. The law provides for the army deployed under orders of the president to search and seize and we hope this is the case with this deployment. To have the army just standing on the street with rifles helps somewhat but we need them to conduct searches as they know how to do. Gangsters must feel the heat. The CPF calls on our law-abiding citizens to be tolerant as they might be required to open their doors and be inconvenienced at roadblocks. It is but a small price to pay to make our communities safer and ensure a better future for our children. We wish our social agencies who work in these communities well, as they take advantage of the stabilisation of our areas and intensify their programmes with our children, youth and adults. We look forward to the real new dawn. PHILIP BAM Grassy Park CPF
This show is a must-see It’s never easy for a box office hit such as #JustMen, currently on at the Baxter Theatre, to be replicated with the same authenticity and credibility, with a re-run and achieve the same standing-ovation performance as experienced previously. Director and performer, Heinrich Reisenhofer, states at the very onset that #JustMen is a presentation and not a show, unscripted and unadulterated with performances by four diverse characters. The successful recipe to this remarkable presentation is the honest, stark account of each character’s early sexual encounters, often using expletives such as the “f-word”, to ultimately drive home their painful sexual experiences. Each gives a vivid account depicting the societal influence on their sexual manhood and malignancy towards women, but seeking redemption and self-realisation to overcome their mental demons, with the aim of releasing them from patriarchal bondage. #JustMen is a must-see and the post-presentation session is a valuable addendum serving to conscientise men of their sexuality, and to become more sensitive to gender-based violence, and the dignity and respect that women deserve.

Cup to remember former principal T
he first Phaldie Tregonning Memorial Cup will take place at the RC Athletico Soccer Club in Lansdowne today (Tuesday 23 July) and Thursday 25 July from 18:00. “A year has passed since our beloved and respected principal, Phaldie Tregonning’s untimely death on 13 July 2018,” read a statement from Windsor High School where he was principal by the time of his death. Tregonning’s career in education spanned almost three decades. “He was passionate about teaching and inspiring both learners and educators. He not only took a keen interest in developing learners academically but also supported their sporting dreams and assisted as far as possible for them to achieve it. “In commemorating our late principal, Windsor High School staff has decided to host a soccer tournament in honour of Phaldie Tregonning, hence the tournament has been named ‘The Phaldie Tregonning Memorial Cup Tournament’,” continued the statement.
Three teams, along with Windsor High School, have been invited to take part in the tournament namely: Livingstone High School, RC Athletico FC and Westerford High School.In tonight’s action, Windsor will tackle Westerford, with Livingstone doing battle against RC Athletico. The winners will take part in Thursday’s final at 19:15, while the losers of tonight’s contests will play in the curtain-raiser at 18:00. The school hopes to grow the tournament in years to come where they will be able to invite more teams. “We wish to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Tregonning family for granting permission to host the event and supporting this tournament. To Muneebah, Shakirah, Aniqa and Uzair – thank you for allowing your husband and father to be a part of our lives. He not only touched but made a tremendous difference in so many peoples’ hearts and lives over his 27 years in education.” V For more information on the tournament call 076 244 1373 or 083 570 3058.
