‘Bus’ project expands SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS @Samantha_Lee121
T
he Walking Bus project has officially been integrated as a City of Cape Town project, complete with a new logo and new equipment for the 1 500 volunteers already recruited to the initiative. Mayor Dan Plato started the project while he was still the provincial minister for com-
munity safety in 2016. It now officially falls under the City’s banner, following a launch held in Lentegeur on Wednesday 16 October. Mitchell’s Plain and surrounding communities were invited to the launch. It will be followed by similar events in neighbouring communities. Separate events are being held because a big enough venue to accommodate all 1 500 volunteers could not be found. Volunteers received packages which
included bibs, a stipend and road signs that say “Caution, bright futures ahead”, “The future is walking at 4km per hour” and “Slow down, bright futures crossing”. “I could see the tears in some of your eyes when you heard about the stipend. I must remind you that this is not a salary,” said Plato to the volunteers. “We are going to require you to do more.” Plato says the volunteers have been doing
a good job and encourages them to be active in and around the school premises. A parent, who asked not to be identified, says she is happy to see the volunteers assisting children at the school. “As mothers, we stand here. There are various occasions where children get dropped off and run over the road. It is dangerous. There is a big need for this,” she says. V Continued on page 2.

The initiative has already been launched in 55 areas across the metropole with an additional 20 areas earmarked for the next academic year. The Walking Bus programme helps to ensure that school children have safe passage to and from school. “We saw the positive impact of this project as one of the flagship campaigns aimed at keeping our young people safe,” says Plato. “We formulated plans to move the initiative to the City to continue the good work. Making our communities safer requires everyone to be involved and we are pleased that so many community members have shown an interest in being part of this project. The Walking Bus campaign has seen thousands of parents become volunteers.” There are active walking bus groups across the greater Mitchell’s Plain, Wesbank, Manenberg, Mfuleni, Nyanga, Langa, Khayelitsha, Hanover Park, Athlone, Retreat and Lavender Hill, Elsies River, Eerste River, Heideveld, Clark Estate and Ravensmead, among others. Manenberg representitives Rozelle Jacobs, Nadia De Vries and Shihaam Mosaval say they have a mixture of new members and those who have been busy for the past few weeks. “There are children who are in danger.

Colourful skies for mental health
Two local pools open SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS @Samantha_Lee121
W
estridge swimming pool will remain open for the duration of the summer season, after having been opened to the public during the September school holidays. It now joins Eastridge swimming pool with the prospect of Lentegeur swimming pool also being opened to the public during the peak summer period.
Eastridge swimming pool was officially reopened to the public in December, being the only pool open to the public in the Mitchell’s Plain area, after the drought and linked water restrictions forced the City of Cape Town to close several municipal pools (“Where to cool off this summer,” People’s Post, 4 December 2018). Lentegeur swimming pool may also be opened to the public, should the prescribed maintenance project be completed in time. “I am aware the frustrations Westridge

swimming pool users had to endure which was primarily a series of events which impacted on the complete repair of the poollining and subsequent filling of the pool with non-potable water. I have been working tirelessly with the department to sustain traction to ensure that the pool reopens in the September school holidays,” says ward 78 councillor Eddie Andrews. “The recreation and parks department highlighted the fact that they had to comply with drought restrictions which delayed the filling of the pool. “A borehole has been installed on the precinct which was used to fill the pool and irrigate the rest of the facility.” Mayco member for community services and health, Zahid Badroodien says: “The seasonal swimming pools opened on 20 September and will be operating until 13 April next year. There were some delays in the opening of some of the pools due to unforeseen circumstances.” Pools that are currently open to the public are Athlone, Bonteheuwel, Eastridge, Emthonjeni in Nyanga, Goodwood, Hanover Park, Kensington, Langa, Manenberg, Mnandi, Muizenberg, Observatory, Parow North, Wesfleur and Westridge. “The Blue Downs, Long Street, Retreat and Strand indoor swimming pools including Sea Point Pavilion are currently open throughout the year,” says Badroodien. Swimming pools that are currently undergoing repairs and maintenance work, which are intended to open for the peak summer period if the scheduled repairs are completed on time, include Bellville South, Khayelitsha., Morningstar, Browns Farm, Delft Lentegeur, Parow Valley, Ruyterwacht, Trafalgar Park, Vulindlela and Wynberg.

ore than R30 million has been spent on fixing close to 20 000 potholes in the city during the past financial year. In an attempt to take service delivery back to basics, mayor Dan Plato launched a pothole repair campaign in Tafelsig last week. “The purpose of this campaign is to refocus on the basics of service delivery and reminding residents that we are committed to ensuring that more people experience the benefit of efficient service delivery. The formation of potholes during winter is a common occurrence as it is directly related to heavy rainfall and the age or condition of the roads,” says Plato. “Now that the weather conditions are more favourable, city road repair teams will be hard at work repairing potholes and undertaking general maintenance across the city to ensure that the roads you drive, travel to work on and cycle on, are in good condition. We plan to do permanent repairs to ensure better quality repair.” Water is the main cause of potholes, but it can also form as a result of diesel spills, collisions, fires and inadequate road drainage. The City spent R38 million on fixing 19 929 potholes with an additional R287 million spent on resurfacing roads during the 2018/19 financial year. Plato says while it was launched in Tafelsig, it will be rolled out across the city. Plato also visited Atlantis and

WARD 82
Ward councillor election pending A
new ward councillor for ward 82 will be elected next month. Voter registration drives in the ward have already been completed by representatives from the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) at the end of September, with the vote being scheduled to take place on Wednesday 13 November. The IEC would like to advise voters that it is a criminal offence to register and vote in a ward in which they are not ordinarily resident. Ward 82 covers the greater Tafelsig area and the position has become vacant follow-
ing the death of ward councillor and subcouncil chair, Sheval Arendse, in August. All voting stations within the ward will be open for voting day.
Operational voting stations These stations are Tafelsig, Hugenot, Perserverance, Yellowwood and Cascade primary schools and the Nelson Mandela Youth and Family Centre. Residents wanting to apply for special voting can also do so at the local IEC office during office hours between Monday 28 October and Friday 1 November.

t was a show-and-tell commemoration of International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction as the City’s disaster risk management collaborated with a host of other agencies to display their capabilities in the event of an earthquake, particularly the various equipment that is used in scenarios such as structural collapse, urban search and rescue and major infrastructure damage. While earthquakes are uncommon in the Western Cape, 2019 is the 50th commemoration of the 1969 Tulbagh-Ceres earthquake, which measured 6.3 on the Richter scale. Another earthquake was recorded in the Milnerton area in 1809. “International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction is an opportunity to take stock of the hazards that face communities, how these can be mitigated and our readiness to deal with such eventualities. “One key aspect is ensuring the ongoing functioning of critical infrastructure during and after a disaster, and also its durability to withstand the impact of disasters. So it is critical to ensure that places like schools, hospitals, multi-storey buildings
and so forth are built to last by ensuring that location and hazard-appropriate planning regulations and building codes are enforced,” says Mayco member for safety and security, JP Smith. Activities hosted by the City’s Disaster Risk Management Centre (DRMC) in support of International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction included an exhibition of specialised equipment required in the event of a disaster, a desktop exercise with a well-developed earthquake scenario including the major infrastructure sector departments addressing identified infrastructure challenges and activities to commemorate the sizeable earthquakes in Tulbagh-Ceres and Milnerton. Some role players that were involved in the exercise and exhibition included emergency services from the Western Cape provincial government, National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI), neighbourhood watches, Gift of the Givers, City of Cape Town Emergency Services (EMS) and City departments such as Water and sanitation, building and development and roads and Smith.

Growing city’s night-time economy Efforts to grow the night-time economy (NTE) have been gaining traction in some of the world’s most prominent cities. The NTE is a catalyst for increasing a city’s attractiveness, developing its cultural offering and creating jobs. The Sound Diplomacy’s guide to managing cities revealed that the New York NTE contributes US$10 billion to the city’s economy; whereas in Sydney the NTE accounts for approximately 10% to 16% of the central business district employment; while the NTE is worth 6% of the United Kingdom’s gross domestic product or £66 billion annually. “I am excited to announce that the City of Cape Town is considering the potential opportunities associated with the NTE in Cape Town central and surrounds,” says James Vos, Mayco member for economic opportunities and asset management.
The City’s enterprise and investment department, the University of Cape Town (UCT) and the Central City Improvement District (CCID) have formed an NTE working group. A study is being planned to determine the potential economic outputs and job creation opportunities that the NTE offers – both directly and indirectly. “Depending on the results, my team will develop an action plan for implementation consisting of cross-cutting responsibilities. I am confident that the NTE holds the key to economic growth and employment opportunities. I am also of the view that Cape Town will benefit from this approach as it will diversify leisure and commercial activities, become a source of employment and additional revenue for the city, while boosting tourism,” says Vos.
Children used paint during the Amazing Race presented recently to encourage hand washing.
HEALTH
Join the fight against germs T
he City of Cape Town’s health department is going around the metro this October, spreading the word on how handwashing can kill germs and save lives. Global Handwashing Day is commemorated annually on 15 October to increase awareness and understanding about the importance of washing ones hands with soap as an effective and affordable way to prevent diseases and save lives. It comes just weeks before the start of the so-called “surge season”, when there is an increase in diarrhoea cases. While it is a common ailment that is both preventable and treatable, diarrhoea remains a leading cause of death in young children, particularly in developing countries. During the last surge season, the City’s health department recorded 20 080 cases of diarrhoea and 10 346 cases of pneumonia in children under the age of five. “The City has, in consultation with various partners, devised a strategy in recent years that has seen a dramatic decline in the number of severe diarrhoea cases and fatalities. The strategy revolves around early detection and treatment, but prevention too is an important factor,” says Mayco member for health and community services, Zahid Badroodien. “A review of more than 30 studies found that handwashing with soap decreases diarrhoea incidence by 44%, where further evidence suggests that respiratory illness can be decreased by 20% with better handwashing practices. “The statistics underscore the importance of Global Handwashing Day, but also continued education and awareness.” The theme for Global Handwashing Day this year is “Clean Hands for All”. On Saturday 12 October, City Health hosted an interactive event to advocate for the importance of handwashing, in collaboration with other City departments and nongovernmental organisation, Gift of the Givers. Central to the event was an Amazing
Race, where teams had to collect various items along the way to assemble a ‘squeeze bottle’ – a simple device consisting of a 2 litre bottle and a piece of irrigation pipe that allows for handwashing anywhere, while saving water. “The squeeze bottle is a cheap and effective way of washing one’s hands if there are no taps close by. It is also a fun way of teaching small children the importance of handwashing, which uses much less water than a regular tap and is more hygienic than sharing a bowl of water to wash hands,” says Badroodien.
A guide to handwashing . wet your hands with clean, running water (warm or cold), turn off the tap, and apply soap; . lather your hands by rubbing them together with the soap and be sure to lather the backs of your hands, between your fingers, and under your nails; . rub your hands for at least 20 seconds. Hum the “Happy Birthday” song from beginning to end twice; . rinse your hands well under clean, running water; . dry your hands using a clean towel or air dry them. When to wash your hands . before, during, and after preparing food; . before eating food; . before and after caring for someone who is sick; . before and after treating a cut or wound; . after using the toilet and after changing nappies or cleaning up a child who has used the toilet; . after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing; . after touching an animal, animal feed, or animal waste and after handling pet food or pet treats; . after handling garbage.

Rubber to burn at Killarney at the weekend K
illarney race track will burn rubber the coming weekend as Killarney Motor Show returns. The event will give car enthusiasts an opportunity to ride along as the drivers of the E36 Cup throw their BMW 3 Series racers sideways on the Extreme Arena. The E36 is the third-generation BMW 3 Series, built from 1990 to 2000; immensely popular in South Africa to this day, it’s regarded as one of the best-balanced and most ‘chuckable’ sports sedans ever offered to local petrolheads. Powered by a screaming three-litre straight six, it’s a popular basis for rallycross
Biker dazzles the crowd during last year’s event.
and drifting specials. Local groups at the E36 Cup race these models in main circuit races or rallycross, and they’ll have about 10 cars on parade at the Killarney Motor Show on Sunday 27 October, ready to give you the ride of your life. The cars are modified for racing with very short gearing so, although their top speed is only around 185km/h, their acceleration is electrifying – and will be even more so in the tight confines of the Extreme Arena. To be part of the action will cost you R200 for five intense laps; the ride is open to all adults and children who are tall enough to see over the dashboard when strapped in. The E36 crew will provide you with a crash helmet and strap you in for the slide of your life. Book at the E36 pits at the end of the main straight, where the dragstrip crosses the Kfm Straight. You won’t have to wait there for your turn – the crew will tell you exactly when your ride is scheduled, so you can go off and enjoy the Killarney Motor Show until then. That includes a full Tar Oval Racing event; you’ll get to see them at no extra cost at the biggest, most hands-on motor show in the Western Cape, open from 10:00am to 5:00pm.
This year’s show will feature no less than four active circuits, starting with the Tar Oval, where the ‘Stockies’ will be in action all day. Next door to that is the Extreme Arena, where you’ll experience non-stop entertainment including the E36 Passenger Rides, stunts, drifting, burnouts, classic motorcycle and even vintage tractor parades and tug-owar contests. There will be public karting on the ‘K’ circuit, while the new car dealers have their own dedicated test drive circuit for the first time, offering test drives on the latest models all day. Dakar Rally hero Kobus Potgieter will be running a round of the Western Cape Foot-Up Trials championship over all sorts of natural obstacles on the back straight, while international stunt stars the Le Riche brothers will amaze you with impossible stunts on two wheels, including riding almost four metres straight up the side of a truck! All of this in a new, more accessible layout that includes an entirely new category of exhibitors and fascinating new displays, live music and a fun fair in the pits paddock offering exciting rides for children of all ages and more than 100 stalls selling just about any-
thing you can think of for your car – and your tummy, with a huge variety of watering holes serving ice-cold drinks, sit-down eateries and takeaway vendors. But it’s really all about the cars, trucks and motorcycles, with close to 1 300 vehicles on show, including new models not seen before in the Western Cape (some of which you’ll actually get the chance to drive on the Test Circuit), classic and exotic cars bearing names such as Porsche, Jaguar and Alfa Romeo from 1902 to the 1980s, and powerful racing cars and bikes. The Streetcar Show on the Porsche Club Straight will feature cars of all types and sizes, customised inside and out and modified as only the Mother City’s petrol-heads can do it, into ‘hot rods’, American-style muscle-cars and ‘stance cars’ lowered to within millimetres of the tar. Nearly all of the vehicles on show are driven to Killarney; that’s what the biggest motor show in the Western Cape is all about. It’s for real – and you’re invited! V Book at Computicket (https://tickets.computicket.com/event/killarney_motor_show/6926375) or pay at the gate, both events for R100 for adults, R40 for scholars under 16 and free if you’re under 12.

MOTORING SAFETY
Seatbelt for pregnant moms A
seatbelt is the single-most important safety aspect of a car. Whether you’re the driver or passenger, that can often prove to be the difference between life and death. This notion carries extra significance when it comes to pregnant women and the life carried inside of them. The standard seatbelt position is harmful for the baby in the event of an accident where
squeezing can occur. A cool “pregnancy seatbelt” manufactured by Kidi Pal drastically reduces the risk by shifting the belt’s positioning point in the car. Wheels24’s Janine Van der Post says: “Being far into a pregnancy gets pretty uncomfortable for women, and having to put a seatbelt around your abdomen makes things worse, so women tend to stick
their arms under the belt or lift it higher, or lower, than it should be which is dangerous both to moms and the unborn baby. “So having a seatbelt specially designed for pregnant women is awesome as it’s imperative to be strapped up and buckled in at all times. I wish I had something like this when I was pregnant.” – Robin Claasen, Wheels24
A new seatbelt designed for expectant mothers could help moms be more comfortable and save their unborn baby’s life.

FESTIVAL
Parklife music festival hits Muizenberg in December P
arklife: Music in the Park Festival returns for its fourth edition, which will be held at the Muizenberg Park in Cape Town on Sunday 1 December. The festival welcomes the city’s music and food-loving festival-goers for a Sunday in the park with some of South Africa’s top musical talents. Modern folk hit-maker Jeremy Loops, indie-folk sensation Matthew Mole, Cape Town’s talented Sean Koch, and musos Diamond Thug – and all the way from down un-
der, Australia’s indie-folk band, Sons of East will perform. In May Sons of East released their third studio EP Burn Right Through, featuring singles “Nothing Comes Easy”, “Silver Lining” and “It Must Be Luck”, along with a collection of new songs that further the band’s modern, indie-folk sound. Loops will be warming up before the festival with his headlining United Kingdom (UK) performances at the O2 Academy Brixton in November.

The festival has cemented itself as Cape Town’s ultimate live music and food festival, and it promises not to disappoint. Festivalgoers are welcome to bring blankets and camping chairs, and there will be a designated area for umbrellas. Parklife is the perfect day out for the entire family and a relaxed way to kick off the holiday in the Mother City. Tickets are on sale now at R295 for adults and R195 for youth under 18. V Tickets are available from https://breakout.howler.co.za/parklifecpt.
Stand-up comic Nik Rabinowitz returns to the Baxter Concert Hall from 26 November with his latest special, Late Bloomer. South Africa’s original Xhosa-speaking, Jewish leg-spinner-turned-comedian’s new stand-up show gets under his skin, literally, as he ruminates over his recent DNA test results and a host of other pressing issues in his hilarious, inimitable and insensitive manner. Join Nik as he tries to figure out who he is, where he came from, where he’s going, and how he ended up here, with a wife, three kids, two animals, one mortgage and the vague feeling that he should pack up everything and move back to Lithuania. A former Stand Up of the Year winner, Nik has over the past 18 years established himself as one of the country’s premier comics. He’s toured internationally, including Nigeria, the Netherlands, Australia, Canada, the United States of America (USA) and the United Kingdom (UK), where he’s appeared at The Royal Albert Hall, on BBC 2’s Mock the Week, and outside a bar in Bristol in 1993 which he couldn’t get into. Late Bloomer runs until 14 December at the Baxter Concert Hall, Tuesdays to Saturdays at 20:00. There is an age restriction of 14. Tickets cost R140 to R180. To qualify for early bird specials book by 31 October and pay R112 (Tuesdays) and R144 (Wednesdays to Saturdays) on selected seats. Tickets for scholars, students and pensioners cost R112 (Tuesdays) and R144 (Wednesday to Saturdays). Tickets for block bookings of 10 or more cost R126 (Tuesdays) and R166 (Wednesday to Saturdays).

SEAN CAMPBELL With the lead changing hands on a few occasions, Thistle Baseball Club let go of a 10-7 lead after five innings, to allow Helderberg Pirates to snatch a 11-10 victory in their Cape Town Baseball Federation Promotion League clash at the Ottery Baseball Fields on Saturday 19 October. Pirates opened the scoring with two runs in the first innings. Thistle replied immediately with four runs. Pirates took the lead again with three runs in the second and one run in the third innings. Thistle bounced back and took an 8-6 lead after three innings. Both teams scored a run each in the fourth innings. Thistle scored another run in the fifth inning to hold a 10-7 lead. Pirates bounced back with a run each in the sixth and seventh inning and two runs in the eighth innings to complete their comeback and secure a 11-10 victory. In other Promotion League results, Westridge continued their winning ways as they followed up their 11-8 victory over Helderberg Pirates last week with a 15-0 drubbing of Battswood. Lansdowne Eagles beat Silver-
tree Titans 17-2. In Bothasig, at the Abe Sher Sports fields, a grand slam from national team catcher Kyle Botha in the bottom of the seventh innings secured Bothasig Knights a 7-1 victory over Bellville Tygers. Dylan Unsworth (formerly contracted to the Los Angeles Angels) pitched three scoreless innings conceding two hits while striking out three Tygers hitters. He was replaced by Jared Elario who pitched five scoreless innings before allowing Tygers to score their run in the ninth innings. Only Jonathan Phillips (2/4) looked comfortable against Bothasig pitching. Besides Botha’s grand slam, Nick Eagles (2/3), Andrew Norman (2/4) and Jade Eager (2/4) were Bothasig’s top hitters for the day. In other Major League results, Athlone A’s beat Van der Stel 8-0, Durbanville lost 11-5 to Maitland Giants, and VOB Macaws mercy ruled Grassy Park Crusaders 17-7.

Falcons soar to victory in opener NOORE NACERODIEN
F
alcons Softball Club got off to a great start in their Cape Town Softball Association’s Super League opening fixture on Saturday 19 October when they thrashed former champions, Glenthorn A’s, 11-2 at the Turfhall Softball Stadium. Falcons started at a blistering pace scoring four runs in their first turn at bat. Lisa Erasmus kept Falcons scoreless for four innings before she crumbled, giving up five free bases in the fifth innings, allowing
Falcons to score seven runs. Glenthorn could muster a mere four hits off young Amy Minnies. Meanwhile, Lavender Hill, found the resistance from Tantasport tough in their opening fixture of the season, managing a tight 4-3 victory. Roxanne Albertyn, performing duties on the pitching rubber, was also the first player to clear the fence this season. Young Melissa Savage started off the pitching for the Hill, with the more experienced Grivonne Rhoda taking over the du-
ties in the fourth innings. In the other Super League encounter, current league holders Westridge Yankees were held 2-2 by Kenfac Phillies, with newcomers Heideveld Yankees on bye in the first week. Last year’s Major League Champion, Falcons, continued their winning ways with a 5-0 victory over Belhar Dolphins with newcomers Table View Tornados easily defeating old hands Kuils River Cougars. Westridge Yankees beat Lavender Hill 8-2 in the other Major League encounter. Other results:
First League: Khayelitsha Eagles 6; Glenthorn A’s 9 St Martins 13; Blackheath 11 Panthers 10; Battswood 6 Crusaders 2; Lavender Hill 7 Second League: Table View 5; Tantasport 11 Falcons 7; Battswood 0 Kenfac Phillies 16; Devonshire Rovers 1 Third League: Thistles 0; Westridge Yankees 7 St Augustines 9; Normies 7 Strandfontein Mets 5; Stealers 4.
