Park gets a new look SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS SAMANTHA.LEE@PEOPLESPOST.CO.ZA @SAMANTHA_LEE121

n the centre of it all stands a tree. Not only does it provide shade, but it represents life, growth and bringing communities together. This is the philosophy behind the layout of the newly upgraded park in AZ Berman Drive – a project that has been years in the making. The upgrade started on Saturday 24 October, with work continuing to beautify the space. Architect Ciske Smit, who is a project manager for the project with non-profit organisation Our Future Cities, says the upgrade has been ongoing for the past two years between the organisation and Mikal

Bell, a community worker from Tafelsig. “In August, we got a grant, or seed funding, for this place-making initiative so we decided to upgrade the park. We are now using this park to create a toolkit. Basically, we want someone who is not an architect to be able to replicate this in other spaces. We want to make it very accessible,” says Smit. The initiative began with local children and residents painting the walls to cover graffiti and building concrete benches. The toolkit booklet will also include key role players who should be identified to assist in the development of open spaces. Bell says: “It’s about empowering community members by giving them an active voice in shaping the spaces around them. Mapping, designing and constructing the parks and public spaces around them,” he says. V Continued on page 2.

eople’s Post journalist Samantha LeeJacobs (28) has bagged the national award in the opinions category at the 2020 Vodacom Journalist of the Year awards (VJOY’s). The awards ceremony was held virtually on Friday 20 November where Lee-Jacobs represented the Western Cape region after winning the regional opinion category award at the regional virtual awards ceremony on Wednesday 11 November. The awards seek to recognise journalism excellence in the country across 12 categories. In its 19th year, the competition received a record number of 1 300 entries. Lee-Jacobs’s win was accredited to three columns published in both People’s Post (“Please just stop asking ‘when’ ”, “Breaking silence”) and TygerBurger (“Think twice before driving drunk”). The judges citation is: “Entries in this

category covered many issues, mainly political but also the economy, sports and even religion. Many of these entries – while being well written – offered views that were common in society and did not bring anything fresh to the debate at either a national or provincial level. Our national winner displayed a skill taking seemingly small issues and relating them to some of society’s important concerns such as sexual assault, peer pressure and drunk driving.” Lee-Jacobs says: “In writing these columns, I was able to share a bit of myself, my personal life and my own experiences with some of society’s social ills with our readers. This was also the first time I had ever spoken out about a personal encounter with sexual assault which empowered me to help others. As community journalists, we have a special role to play in connecting with readers, while sharing news

and views that matter. Having won awards for telling people’s inspiring stories before, it was especially amazing and a great honour to be awarded for the vulnerability in sharing my own story.” Thulani Magazi, People’s Post editor, praised Lee-Jacobs for the achievement. “Well done, Sammy. This wonderful accomplishment is an excellent stamp of approval on what community journalism is all about. You have consistently showed and proved that community journalism is truly alive by regularly collecting awards,” says Magazi. “Walking away with a national award against some of the country’s finest writers and newspapers is a huge achievement. We are truly proud of your achievement as it not only puts your name on the South African media landscape, but our beloved People’s Post too. Congratulations! Continue doing what you do best and love most.”

the park and expressed their appreciation for the initiative. The Milkwood tree and seating is the first phase of this communityled project and we hope to complete it over the next couple of weeks. They have also

committed themselves to water the tree regularly and also to clean the park on a regular basis. This will definitely help us in our objective of creating safe and dignified spaces in Mitchell’s Plain.”

The partnership started when Bell was invited to address Young Urbanists at Our Future Cities. “I shared my passion for public spaces and mural arts as well as my vision for Tafelsig and Mitchell’s Plain as a whole. Having travelled extensively abroad where I was exposed to Placemaking in major cities in Europe and the US (United States of America), I discovered the benefits of having well-designed public spaces. Our Future Cities applied for funding to SA Cities Network for our project. The Tafelsig Beautification Project was one of the successful projects that received funding,” says Bell. More parks in Tafelsig, as well as other areas in Mitchell’s Plain, have been identified for an upgrade as part of the beautification project. “In fact, we hope to upgrade all the parks, providing we get support from the authorities. We also hope to get more corporates on board,” says Bell. “Residents have really taken to the changes in Residents joined in to paint, create the benches and beautify the park

Help woman to breathe easy SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS @Samantha_Lee121

37-year-old single mom of three is appealing for help to improve her quality of life after being diagnosed with a terminal lung and heart condition. Samantha Harris from Tafelsig is now raising funds for a specialised machine that will help her breathe after being diagnosed with severe heart failure and water on both her lungs and heart. As her condition worsened, Harris has also been forced to leave her job as a pay point controller in February. “(My condition) started three years ago with a kidney and urinary tract infection, then slowly, without my knowledge, started progressing. I started having minor heart problems last year,” she says. Doctors have informed Harris that there is nothing more they can do for her, except prescribe that she use a specialised machine to help regulate her breathing. But this is easier said than done, as the next available booking on the long waiting list at Groote Schuur hospital is in 2021. “The condition at the moment is worse as I struggle to breathe when doing anything. Even in my sleep,” says Harris. “Every hour at night I have to wake up and regulate my breathing as I can only sleep on my left side and can’t breathe much on my right side. Sometimes I wake up choking because my mouth and throat stay dry.” Because of the immediate risks involved with the condition, her doctors have advised Harris to buy a machine of her own as the use of the machine at Groote Schuur is only temporary. This can cost around R20 000. With her sons eight, 15 and 20 and Harris medically boarded, they are now hosting a

fundraising luncheon next month to help raise the money needed to purchase the lifechanging machine. “Seeing as I am not by any means to work or move around as I want to, I have thought of selling some sweets from home as a form of exercise and to keep my mind occupied,” she says. Harris welcomes anyone to contact her with questions so she can help raise awareness and support others with the illness. “If anyone wants to and if they have the means, they can donate anything we can use to raise funds,” she says. “People can feel free to call me and ask me questions as well. I might be able to help another person who is struggling with a life threatening illness.” Harris has asked for church groups and residents to keep her in their prayers as she battles daily with breathing and swollen limbs as a result of the water on her Swelling caused by the organs. Samantha Harris.

V The luncheon will be held on Sunday 13 December at the Salvation Army Church hall in Lentegeur from 12:00. It will feature a three-course meal and live entertainment. Tickets cost R100. Call or WhatsApp Harris on 067 624 9704.

Help feed kids and elderly Jehovah Jireh Feeding Project is calling on assistance from residents in spreading the love and festive cheer. They are currently collecting chips, lollipops, biscuits, sweets, juices and chocolates, among other items, to make up 500 party packets for children who visit their feeding project. They also intend to provide each child with a hotdog and a toy. The elderly will also be looked after, with the group calling on donations of foam containers, chicken, potatoes, onions, peppers, vegetables, sauces and oil, among other items. This event will be held on the Day of Reconciliation, Wednesday 16 December, and they are hoping to collect all items by Thursday 10 December. V To donate or for more information, call Evangelist Cecil Isaacs on 079 928 2714.

Wards go purple for prem babies SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS @Samantha_Lee121

ccording to the World Health Organisation (WHO), one in 10 babies will be born prematurely world wide. With many premature babies coming into the world facing lifelong challenges and lengthy hospital stays due to sometimes underdeveloped organs, celebrating the miracle of their births is observed annually on 17 November as World Prematurity Day. The first awareness day was initiated in 2008. November is also World Prematurity

Awareness Month. Western Cape health minister Dr Nomafrench Mbombo says: “Raising awareness about World Preemie Day and Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) are critical. We are continuously striving to create awareness and improve the standard of KMC for newborn care at all the levels of healthcare, in all settings, within the Western Cape because KMC improves growth and reduces morbidities in low-birth-weight infants.” KMC is placing the baby on the bare chest, which promotes a strong bond between parent or carer and child. It also improves growth

and reduces morbidities in low birth infants, promote increased milk production and breastfeeding success. According to the department, more than 75% of babies born prematurely can be saved with cost effective care before, during and after birth. Cost effective care include breastfeeding, KMC and hand washing (infection control). In recognition of this, this year many neonatal wards will be draped in purple, a colour that represents sensitivity and exceptionality. A premature baby is born three weeks or more before the due date and local health department officials confirm this can happen to anyone. For Melissa Naude, she had carried three babies full term, with her daughter Paula being born prematurely. “My two older children were full term. I even carried my oldest son into 41 weeks before labour was induced. When I was pregnant with Paula, the pregnancy was normal. I had no problems, but during a routine check up one month before, I started having serious pains and discomfort,” says Naude. “I thought it was just Braxton Hicks (contractions), or acid at first, but I knew it was not common having had two other children at the time.” Naude was in labour and birthed Paula on 18 February 2010. Because she was around five weeks premature, Paula was severely underweight and spent almost a month in hospital. Naude’s youngest child, two years later, was also carried to full term. But Paula is now fully recovered and a budding 10-yearold with no lasting health conditions. “She could fit in a shoe box when she was born and now she is so full of life and the joy of our lives,” says Naude. For Hannelie Louw, the premature birth of her daughter Hayley Hope was brought on by pre-eclampsia – a pregnancy complication characterised by high blood pressure and signs of damage to another organ system, most often the liver and kidneys. She was born via emergency C-section at 27 weeks, in September 2016 weighing just 630g. “When we saw her face for the first time, it was love at first sight. We saw her fighting spirit and determination. This, and the

amazing doctors and nurses caring for her, reassured us that her life would be saved,” says Louw. Hayley spent more than two months in an incubator in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (Nicu). “I still remember the smell of the sanitiser and the monitors beeping around us. This soon became our world, travelling every day to see Hayley. Having to see her with all the tubes connected to her, was an ordeal. Tears ran down my face every day to see my little one like that. Her dad just picked her up once and never again because she was so tiny. Those were difficult days for us. And all that carried me through were the kangaroo mother care, praying, reading, and seeing my little girl gain weight,” says Louw. “Today, Hayley is four years old and weighs 15,8kg. She is doing well and continues to grow! We are grateful for each day with our Hayley. I would like to share with my fellow-miracle-baby parents that being the parents of a preemie means you are extra special. And after all, God doesn’t just pick anybody to witness a miracle.”

RETURN OF THE R5 MEALS: The

Video of local rapper goes viral

Shoprite group has again re-introduced its R5 deli meal having subsidised more than 150 million meals since inception in 2017. The group has further subsidised its 600g in-house baked bread which remains at R4.99 since 2016. Stores sold 63 million R4.99 bread loaves in the past financial year. The group says with the effects of the pandemic on unemployment, increased hunger and food insecurity plagues vulnerable communities. The meal is the group’s effort to make sure that someone with just R5 in their pocket can afford to eat a hot meal.

SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS @Samantha_lee121

video posted to social media is sometimes the best way to get your message across. But when a video taken of rapper Michael Palmer (22) at a recent event went viral, it meant the fulfilment of a promise made to him by his manager. Growing up in Bredasdorp, Palmer had hopes of breaking into the music industry. The youngest of four children, he was raised by a single mother and began to experiment with rap while at Albert Myburg High School in 2013. “I joined a group called Natklappers. Staying in a small community with lots of women and children abuse, substance abuse and the fact that I was without a father drove me to music and to rap about what’s happening around me and about giving out messages for those who decide to stay silent. I spoke for us through my lyrics,” he says. His stage name is Mr MP based on the initials of his name and surname. Palmer moved to Mitchell’s Plain four months ago and is living at the YMCA Camp, sponsored by Ricardo de Reuck, while he builds his career. “Alex Cupido, my manager, promised me

in 2018 he would bring me to the city because he said there would be lots of opportunities for me,” he says. And with the help of social media, he is beginning to achieve this. In the video, Palmer raps about real truths of today’s society with his latest song, Lead Me. The video, posted by an event attendee, has had more than 300 000 views In the song, Palmer speaks about communities coming together to take a stand. “I was booked by an NGO called Crystal Foundation in Lentegeur and it was the first time I performed the song. My reaction was like, ‘Wow, this is what I wanted, for people to hear my stories,’ and I try to uplift the youth (through my rap) but I didn’t expect it would reach the views of 300 000 people. I want to thank all for the comments and the support so far,” he says. He says there is hope. “I want to encourage everyone out there to stick with your dreams and never give up. This game isn’t easy. What stands out for me is growth. I can see that I’m developing stronger since I moved to Cape Town,” he says. His song is available for download from his social media platforms: Michael Palmer Music. V For bookings, call Alex Cupido on 073 619 8848.

ADDICTION

Watch your relationship with liquor SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS @Samantha_Lee121

“T

hey say the first step to recovery, is admitting you have a problem. My name is Jason, and I am an alcoholic.” These are words he never thought would be spoken, but with the hard lockdown and ban on the sales of liquor, Jason had found himself locked inside with copious amounts of liquor for weeks. “I borrowed money, made a loan to stock up on liquor for the lockdown. I was so worried I would not survive without a drink,” he says. A social drinker, he would drink on weekends with his friends or around a braai, but never did he think he had anything close to an alcohol addiction.

Alcohol dependency first reared its head during locals were locked indoors with large quantities SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS

But his dependency manifested itself during this time. “I would drink with a group of friends, but limited to the weekend and sometimes Thursdays. I look back now and realise that I never knew a limit. I would not stop until the last drop was finished from that bottle. Actually, all my friends are like that. We drink Fridays and Saturdays until we cannot stand and then have a few beers to cool down on Sundays before work,” he says. “During lockdown, I bought so many bottles, trays of beers, cheap and expensive, whatever I could find. I just did not want to run out. By the third week of lockdown, I had almost finished the stock on my own. I would get up every day, have beer or whiskey with my breakfast and drink close to a bottle of liquor a day.” His relationship with alcohol started at a young age, he says. “In coloured communities, we are exposed to drinking from a young age. The first few things you do wrong is sneak a parent’s cigarette or take a sip of an open beer or wine. It doesn’t taste good at that age, but you all laugh and keep doing it because it’s naughty so it’s fun. We never realise that this influences us inlockdown for many, as to our adulthood,” he of liquor. PHOTO: says. “Getting drunk is so normal. At

birthday parties, sneaking into clubs and bars and hanging out with older crowds are all normal; and drinking cheap wine, just to drink, is part of it.” When the lockdown was extended, he began to panic and was again looking at ways to replenish his dwindling stock. “I was stressed out and panicked. I was researching recipes for beer and looking for illegal sellers. I was no longer receiving my full salary. This stress, the separation and the pandemic made it all worse,” he says. “In May, I was drunk out of my mind. I can’t remember it myself. My family began to notice how bad my relationship with alcohol had become and decided to record me. It was 11:30 and I was falling around. I could not walk or think or speak. I had lost myself to the bottle. I had become my father and those drunk uncles we are scared of, but secretly admire,” he says. With a history of alcoholism in his family, Jason believes he should have seen the signs much sooner. “I am what we call a happy and sloppy drunk, but my father was an aggressive drunk. He would get drunk and become abusive and vulgar. He would always be drunk, especially after retiring and that was difficult to see growing up, but after seeing that video – beside my behaviour – I had become my father. Something I vowed never to become,” he says. Jason is now part of an outpatient treatment to help him deal with his dependency issues. “I was so worried that I would turn to other things like drugs,” he says. Sharna Fernandez, the provincial minister of social development, says there is help available for anyone struggling with addiction.

Stockist of the widest range of nuts, dried fruit, cashew nuts and many more...

“It takes a tremendous amount of courage to seek help for drug and alcohol addiction, however, it may not always feel that way for people going through the process. As the provincial department, we recognise that providing assistance to individuals and families with drug and alcohol-related challenges is key to building the social fabric of our communities. There are many health and social consequences of drug and alcohol addiction and, in most cases, it can lead to the breakdown of families,” she says. She adds that addiction is a chronic brain dysfunction and that support is imperative in recovery. “Despite the intrinsic dignity in addiction recovery, the persistent stigma and judgment that substance abuse disorder (SUD) survivors face when they endeavour to put their lives back together can be overwhelming and prevent them from moving forward, even leading to relapse,” she says. But for Jason, the lockdown had proven an unhealthy and irresponsible relationship with alcohol, and for many others who cannot see they have a problem. “If you borrowed money to buy alcohol, paid ridiculous prices from illegal sellers, made your own beer or drank every single day, then you have a problem. If you cannot go anywhere without having an alcoholic drink. That feeling that you cannot live without it should be a sign,” he says. “I know, you will say ‘I drink because I want to, not because I need to’, but for most, that is the lie we tell ourselves so we don’t have to face the reality. I was in denial and now the reality I am facing is that famous saying: ‘Hi, my name is Jason, and I am an alcoholic’.” V For help dealing with addiction, visit www.heretohelp.co.za, or the Department of Social Development’s hotline on 0800 220 250.

OUTREACH

Young dancers set the stage alight SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS @Samantha_Lee121

ith the Covid-19 pandemic putting an end to almost every sporting code’s practise and contact time, coming back onto the dance scene after the hard lockdown, one may expect dancers to be rusty, but not Set4Dance. Dancers at Set4Dance Community Outreach have stepped back onto the dance scene with a bang, already winning several titles. Founder Judy Rhodes says dancers have been back on the competition circuit since Saturday 24 October when they competed in the 021 BDC Dance Challenge presented by Project 021 in Athlone. The competition drew entries from junior, teens and senior crews in Steenberg, Lavender Hill, Athlone, Atlantis, Kuils River, Mitchell’s Plain and Kraaifontein. “We entered the 021 BDC competition and did well with our duo’s CI Ethos, Sista-Code and Pathos all placing in the top five in their respective categories,” says Rhodes. This did the group well as they headed for their next competition on Saturday 31 October. “We helped rock the block at the Hood Hop Competition held in Mitchell’s Plain. Our junior soloists Zaheer Woodman and Zinzi Rhodes gave the crowd a taste of what they could do when Zaheer took first place and Zinzi bagging the second position in the open styles section,” she says. Over the weekend of Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 November Set4Dance also entered teams and soloists into the Hip Hop Unite competition held at Redham House in Durbanville, exciting a virtual audience. Cadet duo’s Sista-Code took fourth place and Pathos took seventh place on the day. Soloists also made a clean sweep with Zaheer again placing first, Zinzi placing second and Peyton Afrika taking third place. “Our crowning achievement came when our adult duo CI Ethos took the gold medal for their routine in the competition, making it three years in a row,” says Rhodes. They attribute the success of the dancers

to virtual classes held by head coach Ignatius Pastor, putting in the extra work to keep dancers active and motivated. But the studio is no stranger to bagging medals and trophies at competitions, competing both locally and internationally on the dance stage. Started in Tafelsig under a different name in 2014, Set4Dance had only three dancers (“Dancing their way to the top”, People’s Post, 26 July 2016). At the time Rhodes said the club moved from Tafelsig as it was not a conducive environment. This move proved successful as the dance crew now attracts young and old from all over Mitchell’s Plain. Last year, the dance group also started a senior category with most of the dancers being parents. Pastor says the group is exposed to various styles and this adds to them being wellrounded dancers. Pastor has also won several awards for his duo and solo performances, having represented Set4Dance on the world stage on several occasions. The dance crew is now also registered as a non-profit organisation. Last year, a group of 15 dancers aged between 10 and 35 also qualified for World Dance Star which was set to take place in Croatia in May this year. Unfortunately, competitions were cancelled as a result of the global pandemic. Rhodes says 2021 will bring bigger and better things for the crew. “Our focus and aims for next year is to rebuild the club as the lockdown has prevented the club from growing in numbers and doing what we would’ve loved to implement this year. Next year will see us continue developing dancers as well as grow our modern/contemporary genre which started just before lockdown,” she says. “We want our presence to be felt within communities with various programmes – praying that funding will come for this – as well as competitions. We have already started preparing for competitions for next year and will only take a short break during the

festive period as there is lots of work to be done in 2021 and our coaches cannot wait to start sharing their skills and imparting their knowledge to these dancers.”

Beware of ‘test drive’ theft, tracking company warns Vehicle tracking company Tracker SA is urging motorists to be cautious when selling cars privately. Private sales come with risks, warns Ron Knott-Craig, executive: operational services at Tracker. Sellers need to be wary of fraudsters and potential robbers while they let people test drive their car. Here are some things to consider when selling your car privately to keep you safe: . Protect your personal information – criminals could use it against you. Also, make sure any photos you post online don’t have geo-tag data embedded in them, which could give away your home address. . Don’t meet the buyers at your home –

you won’t normally invite strangers to visit your home, so don’t do it while selling your car. Rather choose a place that is busy, and preferably one with video surveillance. . Set appointments during the day – rather meet potential buyers during daylight hours. Criminals like the cover of darkness. . Buddy up – get a friend to go along with you. Also, let someone that won’t be going with you know of the plans. Some tracking services have apps that you can use to share your location with such a person. They can then follow your route and know where you are at all times. . Test your tracking device – make sure

your tracking device is working and that your tracking company has up-to-date emergency contacts listed on your profile. . Limit your accessories – have your cell phone with you so that you are contactable, but keep the stuff that you carry with you to a minimum, especially valuables. . Request identification – besides getting their full name and contact number, get a form of identification from the buyers, which might be helpful if things do go pearshaped.

seem silly, but make sure you’re actually in the car before you give the keys to the test driver and get them back before exiting the vehicle. Otherwise they could just drive off and leave you in the dust. . Remain vigilant – if something doesn’t seem right, or it feels unsafe, trust your gut and take the necessary steps to extricate yourself from the situation. “If you are robbed, remember your life is worth more than your valuables, so keep calm, co-operate and try to get away as quickly as possible. Report the incident to your tracking company and the police as soon as you can,” says Knott-Craig.

Men’s health takes centre stage W

ith November being prostate and testicular awareness month, on the 19th annually, International Men’s Health Awareness Day is also observed. The Western Cape health department marked this by encouraging men to seek medical assistance and go for regular check-ups. The department offers a wide range of health services for men including mental health support; checking and management of blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol; STI and HIV testing and treatment; and medical male circumcision. Mongezi Mlenzana, a physiotherapist working at Site B community health centre, says men must look after their health and seek healthcare when they feel unwell. “As men, we need to look after ourselves and our health. We do know that our cars regularly need to be serviced, but so do our bodies. Cleanliness is very important and also physical exercise to keep fit. Seek medical help when you feel unwell, your life may depend on it,” says Mlenzana. “Be honest with yourself and face any health issues like the man that you are. Provincial health minister Dr Nomafrench Mbombo visited the Wynberg taxi rank to encourage men to look Men should trust our healthcare their health. professionals because they are experts in dealing with health matters, even so provide services for men’s sexual health. you and your partner want to have a baby, for men.” It is advisable to go for HIV and TB screening if you have TB, if you are on treatment for Men are encouraged to visit a health facili- every year.

sues and encourage men to take care of their health and well-being. It is important for men to man up and take charge of their health by making wise, healthy decisions. A wise man knows his health status, know your status. Get tested for HIV/Aids, TB, blood pressure, and diabetes. It’s quite critical that men adhere to their TB and HIV treatment plans, as well as chronic treatment,” says Western Cape minister of health, Dr Nomafrench Mbombo. To raise awareness on all health issues affecting men, Mbombo visited the Wynberg Taxi Rank on Wednesday 18 November to talk to men about TB, prostate cancer, HIV, blood pressure, cholesterol, and mental health. Her message encouraged men to take responsibility for their health, man up and prioritise their health. Tests are free from the local clinic. If you are already on chronic treatment, it is important to stick to your treatment plan and continue to take your medication. “We understand that people sometimes default from taking their medication due to treatment fatigue, disengaged due to Covid-19, work duties, travelling, stigma, non-disclosure or any other reasons. We request them to come to the after health facilities so we can help them get back on their treatment. We welcome them and offer support through individual adherence counselling. We are very sympathetic and are aware that people need motivation to continue with lifelong treatment,” says Sister Xolelwa Mancoba, professional nurse at Michael Mapongwana community day centre.

This year also marks momentous milestones for both the Santa Shoebox Project and Book Dash, with the organisations each distributing their one millionth Santa Shoebox and book, respectively.

The incident is being investigated and the situation will be closely monitored. “Our nature reserves are there for the enjoyment and use by the public, but I want to remind all that upon entering, visitors agree to abide by the rules. Dog-walking in Park Island has been allowed by the reserve manager and the area is very popular. It is sad that some dog owners cannot control their pets and that we had to take this drastic step. The ban applies to Park Island only, however, we want to urge visitors to Wildwood Island to please keep their dogs on a leash,” says Nieuwoudt. Non-compliance constitutes an offence under the National Environmental Management Protected Areas act.

No dogs will be allowed in the Park Island section of the Zandvlei Nature Reserve until Friday 1 January next year after a dog hunted and killed a juvenile Cape grysbok. The unfortunate incident happened on Monday 9 November. The dog was allegedly not kept on a leash – a contravention of the reserve rules that residents walking their dogs should keep their pets on a leash at all times. The rule is also prominently displayed at the entrance to Park Island. “This could have been avoided had the owner kept the dog on a leash. Unfortunately, this is not an isolated incident of visitors disregarding the rules of the reserve and Park Island. As such, we decided to close this section to dogs to allow the fauna on the island to recover and to prevent further damage to the sensitive faunal populations. Park Island is home to the cape clawless otter, water mongoose, Cape grysbok, small

munities is rich in sporting talent. Lt Col Cleo Arnoldus, of the Mitchell’s Plain police station, says the initiative is definitely assisting in keeping children active and off the streets, which will in turn see a reduction of influence from gangs and crime. “Every little bit helps. Sports creates resilience and that is what we need,” she says. The branded balls are imported as the local manufacturing costs were too high. “We wanted to find a manufacturer that

would make balls to survive the conditions we have. We do not have lush fields to play on,” says Skriker. They will soon add cricket kits and badminton cocks and rackets to their branded items. Their aim is to introduce children to a variety of known and less dominant sports such as badminton and hockey. V Balls cost R250 as part of the adopt a ball campaign.
