Outreach needs assistance LISA LOTTERING @demilottering
A
n Eastridge resident who runs a soup kitchen in Mitchell’s Plain is appealing to members of the community for assistance. Daleen Barnes, founder of the non-profit organisation (NPO) One Step Outreach, says there is a great need for this kind of organisation in the community. Barnes says it’s difficult to make 100 litres of soup and is asking the community for any assistance. Currently, the NPO has five members and one volunteer. “It’s hard to watch people suffer,” says Barnes. She says she wants to help make a difference and hopes it will be contagious. “If every neighbour helped their neighbour, there would not be so much suffering. “I feel like I have been chosen to do this. This is my purpose and I can’t stop now. I need to continue.” However, she needs the support of the community. “The need is huge in our area. Crime and poverty are our biggest challenges. Mitchell’s Plain has one of the highest crime rates. “This NPO could help to get children off the street, to get people out of gangs and to feed people. This is an opportunity to make a change,” she says. Barnes says that if the levels of crime and poverty in the area could be reduced, other
community ills would also decrease. Barnes says the NPO needs companies to come on board in its efforts to relieve poverty in the area. “We need to start reaching out to one another. We need to look and see where we can help.” Barnes says she does not want the community to lose hope. “Together, we can make this work,” she says. In addition, the NPO offers free support and counselling to people in bad relationships or who experience bullying and trauma. It also helps with suicide prevention, drug-related issues, alcohol addiction and preventing the abuse of the elderly. Barnes says if the NPO could get a space for a mobile office, it would really help. But for now, there is a WhatsApp group in place to assist community members. She says she especially wants to help children who have suicidal thoughts. “To the school drop-outs, to those who are bullied and think it’s better to end their lives. Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.” Barnes says she is serious about this organisation and the work it does. “If I can do more, I will. I will not stop helping out and reaching out to the community,” says Barnes. The NPO plans to have a soup kitchen in different areas in Mitchell’s Plain.

Twin sisters inspiration to community LISA LOTTERING @demilottering
A
lthough fencing is not a mainstream sport, twin sisters have proven that you can receive national and international recognition. Ricardo MacKenzie, member of provincial parliament for Mitchell’s Plain, says the youth is very important for the community and Phakama and Phumza Yantolo from Khayelitsha are an inspiration. MacKenzie was very impressed with the twins and their achievements in the sport. He says Phakama and Phumza joined the youth development programme about four months ago. “The twins have done really well and are signing new contracts to continue their participation in the programme,” he says. The duo, who fence for Blues Fencing Club in Gardens, were selected for the junior South African team last year. The Khayelitsha twins competed in Lagos and the United Kingdom.
Phakama says they first got involved in fencing when they competed in a pentathlon in 2011. “A pentathlon consists of five different events including fencing, freestyle swimming, equestrian show jumping, and a final combined event of pistol shooting and cross country running,” explains Phakama. She says she chose to continue fencing because it is a unique sport. “This is a sport you don’t see much of where we are from.” She says they are currently preparing to compete at a competition in Pretoria next month. Phakama says they usually train twice a week but will train three times a week when it gets closer to a competition like the upcoming one. “We do strength and conditioning training and both have individual lessons,” she says. Phumza says she loves fencing because of the various techniques and the level of difficulty. “You have to learn to become patient and think about every single move you make,” she says. Phumza says she has become an inspiration for the community. “Young children look up to us because this is not really something that you hear of in
Phumza Yantolo, Mone de Jager, Alex Gibson and Phakama Yantolo. Khayelitsha,” she adds. Phumza says they previously belonged to a fencing club in the area but they had to find a new club. She says to prepare for their upcoming competition they are completing a 30-day exercise. “We watch videos of other competitions be-
cause we have never been there before and someday, we would like to be there.” Phumza says seeing other people compete in these competitions motivates them to work even harder to achieve their goals. Phakama says one day, they hope to open a fencing club in the area.

Community safety minister honours women C
ontributions by women of neighbourhood watches and community policing forums (CPFs) were recognised by the department of community safety on Thursday 22 August at the Lentegeur civic centre. Albert Fritz, the provincial minister of the department, hosted a Women’s Day high tea event to give thanks and to honour the women who work relentlessly to keep fellow
residents safe in their neighbourhoods. Fritz said when he travels and engages with communities in the Western Cape, he notices that women make up a significant number of the neighbourhood watch volunteers and CPF members. “In our most gang-ravaged communities, it is common to see women at the forefront in the fight against crime and gangsterism,”
Fritz said. “These women are role Fritz said he admires models to young girls as that these leaders have they are actively playing not given up because they their part to make the provare an integral part of the ince safer.

Member of parliament helps the youth LISA LOTTERING @demilottering
R
icardo Mackenzie is passionate about the Mitchell’s Plain youth – especially those who are unemployed, and that is why his core focus is on crime, substance and drug abuse and youth unemployment programmes in ward 75. Mackenzie is the member of provincial parliament for Mitchell’s Plain. He says there is a standing programme which brings youth to parliament every year. “Learners from Tafelsig High School, Oval North High School, Portland High School and others, have been at parliament before.” He says this was done earlier this year and he hopes to do the same in October. Mackenzie says there is also the safety ambassador programme aimed at youth who are not going to varsity, not going to college or even thinking of applying to college. This programme is aimed at the youth who are more at risk of getting involved in drugs and gangsterism. It all started at a camp in Melkbosstrand with 150 leaners which led to social development creating an internship opportunity, and developed a youth at
work programme. “The learners worked with social development and conducted surveys in Mitchell’s Plain on various social issues,” Mackenzie explains. Mackenzie says this was important because it could assist various departments to determine where there is a need for individuals. These learners also formed part of the youth cafe in Mitchell’s Plain. Mackenzie says the learners started compiling their own CVs and were also addressed by various stakeholders. They discussed issues like sexual abuse and drug abuse that could be affecting these learners. Mackenzie says although these programmes have had a positive impact on the community, it has to be done on scale to ensure that there is a massive impact in the next few years. “We need to do so much more and these people need to become role models for the rest of the community. This is where the conversation is now.” Mackenzie says the Mitchell’s Plain youth are positive about these programmes and want to be involved and get their friends involved. He says he is focused on expanding these programmes for youth development.

ROCKLANDS
Provincial Heritage Site plaque unveiled T
he Provincial Heritage Site plaque was unveiled at the Rocklands community hall in Mitchell’s Plain on Tuesday 20 August. Anroux Marais, the provincial minister of cultural affairs and sport unveiled the plaque in commemoration of the historical meeting of 20 August 1983 which led to the establishment of the United Democratic Front (UDF). According to a statement, erf 11553 is inclusive of the Rocklands community hall, the library, the memorial square and the community healthcare centre and has political and social significance. The statement says the community hall was built during the early 1980s and provided a convenient space for mass resistance and large scale political gatherings that were organised by
anti-apartheid organisations. “Held at this iconic location, the meeting in which the UDF was established in the 80s start of the largest socio-political movement that united South Africans from diverse backgrounds to fight against apartheid,” the statement says. Together with the expert assistance of Heritage Western Cape and the City of Cape Town’s facilitation, the social and political significance of the Rocklands community hall will now officially be acknowledged and will rightfully be promoted in the public domain as a provincial heritage site. “The provincial heritage site status will now communicate clearly and definitively that the heritage community and agencies consider this site to be a major and impor-
tant heritage asset that warrants serious and focussed conservation attention from all parties,” Marais said during the unveiling ceremony. Marais said the status immediately provides the full protection to these sites described in the National Heritage Resources Act (1999). “We look forward to collaboratively sharing the significance of the newly officiated provincial heritage site of erf 11553 at the Rocklands Community Hall and thank all who had a hand in the approval of its status,” said Marais. Marais said they are grateful to every stakeholder as they have contributed to a community’s sense of place, belonging and purpose.
Zahid Badroodien, Mayco member for community services and health said, this must be used as an opportunity to realise and re-imagine the potential of Mitchell’s Plain. “Let the Rocklands community centre be a place of hope again; a birthplace of new beginnings. Our young people can bring hope to this community again and this site can be the catalyst of much need change,” said Badroodien.

Get tested for cervical cancer The City of Cape Town is urging employers who are interested in hosting cervical cancer outreach programmes on their premises to contact their nearest clinic managers. The call is in line with the City’s interventions around cervical cancer awareness during Women’s Month. The awareness campaign encourages women to have free tests at all public clinics. Also as part of the campaign, the City’s social development and early childhood development department handed over 100 boxes of reusable sanitary pads to women at Culemborg safe space on Friday 16 August. The safe space provides shelter for homeless people. Other intervention programmes include daily presentations by staff in the waiting
rooms at all the clinics as well as Pink Fridays at some clinics. Staff educate the community about the benefits of a pap smear, focusing on breast and cervical cancer awareness. Zahid Badroodien, Mayco member for community services and health, says this is one of the most prevalent cancers among South African women. He adds that early detection increases chances of a successful treatment. Badroodien says women over the age of 30 are mostly affected and are encouraged to go for pap smear tests every 10 years to determine if they are at risk of cervical cancer. However, those who are HIV positive are advised to have a cervical pap smear annually.
In a statement, the City’s health department says it completed 29 628 cervical smears in the previous financial year. “We are very proud of what has been achieved but there is still much work to do. Not everyone is receptive to efforts to increase women’s access and awareness around health issues such as cervical cancer,” says Badroodien. He says where a patients test results come back as abnormal, they are referred for further treatment. “It means that they require treatment for the diagnosed condition and more frequent screening is necessary especially for early detection of cancer,” he explains.

Illegal liquor trade under siege W
ith the illegal liquor trade on the Cape Flats constantly under siege by authorities, many mothers still take the risk, knowing well the consequences. With police constantly reporting on arrests and confiscations, especially from female traders, little has worked to discourage the continued illegal sale of liquor. Lindsey Pietersen, a single mother of two says she had been involved in the trade her entire life, having taken over the “business” from her father. “My father owned a licensed outlet in Strand. When we moved (to the northern suburbs) he continued to serve from the premises in Strand. Many people knew he ran a liquor place and would often come to our house to see if they could buy any here or if he could organise anything for them,” she says. “There came a time when he would start taking orders and delivering to their homes or having them pick it up at our house.” Eventually, the Strand outlet closed down due to the family’s financial situation, she says, however they continued to trade from their home until the stock had been cleared. Struggling to find another source of income, her father used his connections to obtain more liquor for sale. “My father said he wouldn’t continue for much longer. He only wanted to get back on his feet but the continued pressure and the constant demand meant people constantly knocking on our door. Sometimes in the middle of the night. It became a cycle that he could not break,” she says. Years later, she took over the business run from a wendy house on their property. “I had only one child that time. The father was not in the picture and I needed to make

ends meet. I needed to provide. The money was better than any retail job I could find. It was about providing for my family,” she says. While she has since moved away and left the business behind, she says she understands the circumstances some face. “It is easy to judge us for turning to crime. I knew the consequences, I would pick up the newspaper and see people being arrested or fined, but at that time, all you can think about is survival. That is what it was for me, survival. It was dangerous, not knowing if you would be next, being robbed and not able to report it or having to lie. But I needed to put my family first,” she says. Another trader, known only as Benita, says she has a licensed outlet which started as an illegal trade from her home. “This is a market that is competitive. People want to outsell others and it is dangerous. Where I live, many sell to children and some sell at all hours of the night. They make more money that way so that means you have to compete somehow. And often there is no choice but to do the same,” she says. Benita has since moved to another location and obtained a liquor license. She says she also joined the trade to provide for her children. “I was in an abusive relationship. My children were going to be taken from me if I left. I needed to do something. I started from my house selling beers. I bought them from the local shop and sold them for more expensive, but people bought because I was the only one who had. There is a culture of drinking that people can’t live without,” she says. Liquor is a legal substance, hence the stigma attached to the illegal sale thereof is less than that of dealers selling other substances. However, the lasting effects and consequences of liquor consumption are underrated. Unregulated trade also results in easier access, misuse and this leaves room for further

rears, unlawful occupation, any form of antisocial behaviour, illegal activities or owning property elsewhere. It is important to note that the police is the lead authority on investigating criminal-related activities and therefore complaints in this regard need to be investigated by them.” In addition to the designated police units, the City also employs its own liquor unit. The unit has come under much scrutiny from the public for its confiscations of liquor, especially over the festive season. “The confiscation of alcohol is one of the most crucial elements in the City’s annual festive season operational plan because of the link between alcohol consumption, anti-social behaviour and compromised safety. The festive season road safety report released earlier this week indicates that nearly 60% of road fatalities in South Africa involve alcohol. In Cape Town, alcohol is listed as the second leading cause of fatal drowning incidents,” says Mayco member for safety and security, JP Smith, in a statement. Fritz says the regulation of outlets could assist in minimising the behaviour associated with illegal sale. “The White Paper Policy aims to bring a greater number of unlicensed outlets into the regulated space which will enable more effective regulation and greater impact in terms of harm associated with illegal outlets. It is common cause that certain communities find it difficult to have access to legal outlets due to strict zoning requirements. Efforts to engage municipalities to relax zoning legislation have been successful to a certain extent, but discussions in this regard are still in progress.” Police have warned to continue the fight against illegal liquor sales facing arrests for sales, fines and confiscations for those who buy from illegal outlets. To anonymously report illegal sales SMS 35395 or call 0860 10111.

consequences. Albert Fritz, provincial minister for community safety says: “Illegal outlets are unregulated. This often prejudices communities in these areas. Crimes and offences related to the misuse and contravention of liquor regulations are commonly associated with illegal outlets.” “Illegal outlets are primarily regulated by the police as these contraventions are investigated for purposes of criminal prosecution. The Liquor Licensing Tribunal is limited to licensed outlets,” says Fritz. “It must, however, be noted that although the police have regular successes in the closure of illegal outlets, most of these premises operate in a way which makes successful prosecution very difficult. Illegal traders are familiar with the sections in the act which establish ‘prima facie’ evidence of illegal trade and therefore avoid situations in which the police can collect evidence of the act of selling liquor illegally.” Most criminal cases are based on the volumes of liquor found in possession of the suspect and this evidence on its own has proven to be insufficient for purposes of successful prosecution, says Fritz. While the illegal trade is prevalent across Cape Town, many arrests take place in poorer communities, these are where council homes and rental stock are more prevalent. Mayco member for human settlements, Malusi Booi urges residents living in rental stock or council homes to avoid illegal activities. “Beneficiaries of Breaking New Ground (BNG) units are reminded that as property owners, they are responsible for all matters pertaining to their homes, which have become their assets,” says Booi. “Tenants can be evicted from rental units if they are found to be in contravention of the conditions of the agreement of lease; for example rental ar-

Future peacemakers created here SIPHESIHLE NOTWABAZA @SihleMusic
A
new training programme aimed at empowering young men and women from vulnerable areas, was recently launched in Bridgetown. The Youth Peacemaker Network Programme is the initiative of non-government organisation (NGO), Whitaker Peace and Development Initiative (WPDI). With the programme, 45 talented young individuals will be able to become leaders, peacemakers and entrepreneurs in their communities. WPDI operates in countries and regions that are impacted by violence and poverty. The programme in Bridgetown is the first of its kind in South Africa. Similar programmes have successfully been presented in countries such as Uganda and South Sudan. To be chosen for the programme, men and women between the ages of 18 and 35 had to apply and then go for an interview. The programme manager, Chance Chagunda, and her assistant, Elsa Pienaar, welcomed the guests and the new recruits, who
all attended the official opening. They congratulated the successful candidates, who are called “trainers of trainees”. Once they have successfully completed their year-long training, they will be taking over the training, hence the title “trainers of trainees”. In the spirit of giving back to the community, Chagunda added that they asked homeless people to assist with the revamp of the building where the training will be taking place. Once their work was done, they were paid for their services. Pienaar also congratulated the trainees and said she was happy for them. “I am beyond ecstatic, I am proud (of the group of trainees). For this (the introduction of the programme in South Africa) to get here took a lot of prayer,” she said. She gave a glimpse into what the course will entail. According to her, subjects such as business skills, entrepreneurship, information and communication technology form part of the curriculum. They’ll also learn more about conflict resolution and peace building. She emphasised those as the key components of the training. Joseph Jacobs and Kayla Isaacks, both from Mitchell’s Plain, are two of the new trainees.

Baker in the role of Vladimir. The New York Times writes: “If it walks like a Jew, talks like a Jew and acts like a Jew, it’s probably Shane Baker, the goy from Kansas City. A character straight out of a Woody Allen film ...” Shane is known across the world as an actor, comedian, magician, and all-round entertainer. In addition to acting, translating, and adapting works for the Yiddish stage, the multi-talented Shane also serves as director of the Congress for Jewish Culture, a Yiddish publishing and educational organisation based in New York.

Civic reps, Safety at malls must activists can be part be addressed of solution A
persistent challenge for Peninsula baboon management is that civic reps misunderstand their role in the humanbaboon conflict. They need to focus on improving education within their communities so that the urban landscape is less attractive to baboons and to relay challenges caused by people and persistent raiding in their suburbs to the Baboon Technical Team (BTT) who will then inform the service provider for the City of Cape Town which will hopefully provide relief. The service provider, Human Wildlife Solutions (HWS) follows the management guidelines which are drawn up together with civic reps, researchers, conservation authorities and other municipal bodies. These guidelines are then approved by CapeNature and a permit is issued to the service provider for the City of Cape Town – currently HWS. HWS then carries out its daily duties within the approved guidelines. Euthanising a baboon is a last but nevertheless legal resort to protect ratepayers from damage and health risks associated with a raiding baboon and does not require approval by any civic organisation nor prior informing of civic reps. Activists suggest that these killings are the mainstay of the current management when in fact they are the exceptions with most baboons being successfully managed by non-lethal means. Only when these non-lethal means fail repeatedly and after having ensured that the causes of the raiding have been mitigated as far as is possible within the existing laws, in addition to educating the public in the affected area, is an animal considered for lethal management. When the public was previously informed before a lethal management decision there were attempts to thwart the capture and transport of these baboons which had negative impacts on the welfare of the baboons, the service providers employees and other road users. It further caused serious emotional damage to the service provider staff, most of which are biologists and chose a career to help wildlife not kill it. So being harassed by the public, abused by them and having them interfere with what is already the worst part of their job is really unhelpful. Civic reps and activists can be part of the solution by educating their ratepayers with the relevant facts that they will glean from biannual meetings with the BTT. Should they seek to exceed their mandate (like demand information on daily management decisions that are approved and legal) and fail to realise their mandate (be educated and then educate the public) then one would hope they would be replaced. You as a ratepayer have the right to engage with your rep on such matters and to raise any inconsistencies or inaccuracies that you feel are being presented in the media. .

The dramatic increase in the number of armed robberies taking place at various shopping centres and malls across the Western Cape is quite concerning. Even more concerning is the number of malls being targeted more frequently than others. However, the most worrisome aspect of these robberies is the fact that some of these malls have shown an utter and complete disdain towards their loyal clients and shoppers. By failing to dramatically increase the number of security personnel, these malls are demonstrating their lack of concern in terms of our people’s safety. Event organisers have to comply with stringent conditions before they are granted permits to host events across the city. One of these stringent requirements includes the appointment of one security officer for every one hundred patrons through our doors. Why on earth would the authorities not impose similar requirements on shopping malls, which obviously generate much more money on a much more frequent basis, than event organisers do? I am horrified to see how the lack of security staff at most of these shopping centres where tenants are paying massive rentals to the owners of these malls. One does not have to be a rocket scientist to know that better visibility in terms of security staff would make these criminals think twice about targeting your properties and your tenants. I suggest that shoppers start shopping around for other malls to support if mall owners continue with their stingy approach when it comes to our people’s safety. Spending your money shouldn’t become a matter of life and death, which at present it has become as many of these malls are clearly soft targets for criminals, and the staff and shoppers will be the ultimate victims.

‘We have to be sensible about our approach’ On Tuesday 13 August president Cyril Ramaphosa signed the Administrative Adjudication of Road Traffic Offences (Aarto) Amendment Act into law. My department, having aligned itself to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and the Brasilia Declaration to reduce fatalities by 50% by 2020, will therefore, support any sensible initiative aimed at achieving this goal. I, therefore, support the strategic intent behind the development of the Aarto Act. However, I have serious concerns regarding the readiness of the Road Traffic Infringement Authority (RTIA) to implement the Aarto Act. The lack of readiness was apparent when the Aarto Act was piloted in Johannesburg and Tshwane. While I understand that a proclamation still has to be signed by the president before it is implemented in the Western Cape, I am concerned that the premature
implementation of the Aarto Act will have an effect contrary to what is intended. If the RTIA and municipalities are not ready to implement the Aarto Act, it is more likely to lead to a break-down of law on our roads. Furthermore, the idea of creating a central Appeals Tribunal to deal with all appeals relating to fines is ludicrous and unworkable. The City of Cape Town alone issued more than two million fines in 2016. If a small proportion of fines issued around the country are taken on appeal, it would paralyse the system and provide lawless road users with means to escape accountability. Over the coming days, I will be taking up my concerns with my national and local colleagues before deciding on how to proceed. BONGINKOSI MADIKIZELA, MEC Transport and Public Works
Beware of this treacherous crossing I feel the need to bring this unpleasant incident and the traumatic experience I endured at the Steenberg Railway crossing to the attention of the entire community. The railway booms and lights have been faulty for months. My office is situated on the Main Road side of Military Road. On Thursday 15 August the traffic was congested from the railway crossing, right up to Main Road, on both sides of the crossing all day. I delayed going home hoping that the traffic congestion would abate. I eventually left the office just after 18:00. When I arrived at the crossing the lights were flashing, the booms were up and cars were driving over the railway line in both directions. As I attempted to cross slowly, the booms immediately dropped on the roof of my car (a very small Hyundai i10). I reversed thinking a train was approaching, and the boom rolled off the
roof of my car and landed in front, on top of the wipers. I got out of my car and lifted the booms from my car. I was delighted that it was so light (being aluminium) which I did not know at the time. What perturbed me is that there were no security members monitoring the crossing but there was a group of about seven plus security members standing at the end of the station. Not one of them attempted to come to my assistance. I am a senior citizen and the reality of what happened and what could have been, hit home later. I will be contacting the technical department of Prasa to report this incident. I wish to warn other motorists of this horrific experience and to be aware of this treacherous crossing. BERYL MILLER Email
How many spills have we had in the vlei this year? Residents of Marina Da Gama have received yet another alert regarding a sewage spill into the vlei. I have the impression that this must be the fifth or sixth sewage spill since the beginning of May. I might be losing count and the figure could have mounted still further. For clarification how many spills have we had this year? I have not heard why this has been happening so frequently. Oscar Wilde flippantly once said that it was unfortunate to lose one parent, but to lose two seemed like careless. So there are questions that needs to be addressed to the people on the Vlei: . Why has this been repeatedly happening, . Has there been carelessness involved? . Is this a reticulation problem? . Is it that maintenance has not been regularly performed? Whatever the reason, something that has been happening so frequently and has been allowed to happen, it must now stop. The number of times I have looked into our section of the canal and seen the green clumps and immediately identified the thick mat floating in front of us. It has now happened so often that we recognise this at a glance. As a result, the major question arises: Are we in the process of turning the vlei and our canals into a cesspool?
If there is a possibility of this happening I cannot believe that we (and the people who use the vlei) will accept this with equanimity. It cannot be that this is as a result of our recent good rainfall as this used to be a regular winter occurrence. Or have the droughts in the past few been the cause of complacency? We cannot repeatedly say to people: “You use the vlei for outdoor activities at your own risk.” The council cannot proclaim that this
is an area available for outdoor activities with one breath, and then tell us that the very waters that make up the amenity are unsafe for the people of Cape Town to use. I request that our ward councillor investigate this matter and report back to us as soon as possible. We cannot be fobbed off with platitudes any longer. Our health and our livelihoods are at risk. ROSS DEVENISH Email
Aimee Kuhl responds
north of the vlei has been signed. The failing of this pump station was a major contributor to the recurring overflow of sewage into the estuary. In addition to this, an education campaign around illegal dumping of liquids and waste into the canals will commence, while the department of environmental management is exploring the establishment of catchment tanks to be able to redirect sewage in the case of a spill. The department has also consistently applied innovative measures such as enzymes to help break down foreign nutrients for incident management and recently had a drone taking images to find the origins of a spill in the Marina. I can confidently say that the City is doing everything in its power to keep this natural asset healthy. Being located in a densely populated urban space, it will take a joint effort between citizens and government to protect.
Ward 62 councillor Aimee Kuhl reponds: Zandvlei is under increasing pressure from the surrounding area. Illegal dumping into canals that feed into the estuary and increased residential developments with affiliated infrastructure demands are but two examples. To ensure we protect this estuary, which is of value to many citizens, a multidisciplinary team across departments has been created. This team, consisting of high-level management for reticulation, wastewater management and environmental conservation, met with Mayco member Xanthea Limberg and myself at the beginning of the month. At this meeting both preventative and reactive measures to deal with the challenges were discussed. A contract for a multi-million upgrade of a pump station and sewage main to the

Walkers brave blisters for worthy cause T
he 51st annual Peninsula School Feeding Association (PFSA) Blisters for Bread walk took place in Cape Town on Sunday 25 August. This fundraising initiative has allowed for kids from impoverished schools in the greater Cape Town area to be fed two meals – breakfast and lunch – each day for an entire calendar year. One entry of R60 allows the PFSA to feed 67 kids for an entire day, as a result, R630 000 was raised during this year’s event. Charles Grey, fundraising manager for PFSA, is very happy with the turnout and believes that most of the work that was done in the build-up to the event by all stakeholders, sponsors and key partnerships have led to this event’s success. “We are very delighted with the turnout and believe that it could not have been possible without any of the participants and all our main sponsors and key partners. There is so much that the PFSA can accomplish with the funds raised and with this year’s success we are able to feed at least 1 400 kids
breakfast and lunch for an entire calendar year,” says Grey. The participants were entertained by local musicians, SA Idols winner Paxton Fielies and Sama nominee Jarrad Ricketts. This was done in the form of a free concert after the walk. “In my opinion, I think that this year was the best entertainment we’ve had purely because these two artists were so young and could relate with the kids who are PFSA’s main focus. We have had some challenges with registration and the online entry forms, which we will hope to improve ahead of next year’s event,” adds Grey. Sponsors and partners include People’s Post, TygerBurger, Lucky Star, Sasko and Heart FM. “There is so many organisations and stakeholders that we need to say thank you. The support PFSA has received is overwhelming and we are truly grateful for every contribution, in any form.” Here are a few memorable snaps from the day:

he eighth annual interfaith sport day between Bishops, Herzlia High School, Islamia College and Springfield Convent took place at the Van Riebeeck sport fields in Vredehoek on Sunday 25 August. “It originated in 2012, where our sports outsource, our soccer coach thought it was a good idea for this little town in Cape Town to showcase to the world that the Christians, Jews and Muslims can come together in harmony,” says systemic head of sport at United Herzlia schools, Tina Brenzel. Initiated as an annual soccer match by Liam Shirley, who coached at both Herzlia and Islamia, the day expanded to include more schools and more codes, which include netball, chess and debating. “Despite what I have heard and read in the papers about the differences between the two faiths, what surprised me the most was how similar the two sets of boys I was coaching were. What I decided to do was to try and show the children and parents how an outsider might see the two sets of children, de-
