A
pair of praying hands along with a protea has been cast in stone in the serene surroundings of the Westridge Gardens. The monument of prayer was established in acknowledgement of Mitch-
ell’s Plain and the role it has played in drought relief efforts following a mass prayer for rain. The interfaith monument was built as a place for reflection, prayer and meditation, says Ashley Potts, a local pastor who was key in the establishment of the monument. The monument symbolises a reminder of the Its Time mass prayer efforts
conducted by Evangelist Angus Buchan during his visit to Cape Town in March last year. At the event, hundreds of thousands of people from across Cape Town came together to pray for rain in the height of the drought. “(At the event) at Swartklip Sports Field, (Buchan) made a prophecy and in that prophecy, Mitchell’s Plain was re-

ferred to as the ‘flower of Cape Town’,” says Potts. “Although this was funded by the Christian faith, this is not a religious monument. We want everyone to use it as a place for prayer and reflection in a tranquil space, surrounded by trees.” V Continued on page 3

FROM PAGE 1 The construction was funded by churches both in and surrounding Mitchell’s Plain. The process to have it made began in February this year and was eventually approved by the City of Cape Town in August. Construction took nine weeks and the memorial monument was dedicated and launched on Sunday 6 October. “(Buchan) requested that we put up a reminder a year later. The religious fraternal then came up with suggestions and it was decided to put up a concrete structure,” says Potts. “This is really a reminder to the people, lest they forget, that this is what God has done. We asked him for rain. This is a physical reminder that when we ask God for something, he provides. We were barren of
water and very close to day zero and now our dams are full. Thousands came together and now we are the only province that enjoys the levels of water that we do. Other provinces are struggling,” says Potts. Many locations in Mitchell’s Plain was suggested by members of the committee and fraternal. Potts says they did not want to place the monument in a location where it would be forgotten. “Westridge gardens was chosen as it was a neutral place where people can see it,” says Potts. The inscription says: “Lest we forget as a people, for in this place, Mitchell’s Plain we called on the sovereign God of Heaven in the time of drought (24 March 2018) and he answered us by sending the rains in its season.”
School takes to the stage Take The Stage is back this summer. The free live music concerts at the V&A Waterfront Amphitheatre features a space to enjoy the summer with concerts taking place until January 2020. The concerts kicked off early this month. Local school, Mitchell’s Plain Music Academy will take the stage on Saturday 9 November at 19:00 at the amphitheatre. The concerts are free to the public.
Established in 2014, Mitchell’s Plain Music Academy is comprised purely of students, ranging from beginners, intermediate and advanced musicians in a variety of instruments and other disciplines. The academy has since become home to 170 students from the Mitchell’s Plain area and surrounds. The school is gearing up to showcase their talents at the concert.

SMARTCAPE CADET INITIATIVE
Digital programme opportunities T
he City of Cape Town has upskilled 75 unemployed residents with essential information science and technology skills through its Smartcape Cadet initiative. Each of the participants has also received an 18-month employment contract from the City. They will be assisting the public in using computers and the internet at various City libraries across Cape Town. They have been employed by the City through the Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP) for an 18 months period and will now be stationed at the Smartcape
kiosks at various City libraries. They will be facilitating the Smartcape services offered to the public at the kiosks. The cadet skills development programme focuses on skills in computer and digital literacy, customer service, administration, and communication. Qualifying participants for this programme were required to have a matric certificate and be between the ages of 18 and 35. “Through our digital literacy initiatives, we invest in the lives of unemployed residents by upskilling them with scarce skills to improve their chances of se-
curing future employment. However, with the Smartcape Cadet programme we took it one step further and are providing the participants with employment opportunities to equip them with necessary experience. “Over the next 18 months these Smartcape Cadets will have the opportunity to share the skills they have gained with the various community members visiting the libraries in order for these patrons to start using the technology to improve their lives,” says Mayco member for corporate services, Sharon Cottle.

Mayco member for safety and security, JP Smith with an officer during an inspection.
Copperhead officers inspect metal goods during a search.
EASTRIDGE | LENTEGEUR
Two sites named metal hotspots E
astridge and Lentegeur have been named among the top city hotspots for illegal copper trade. This, as the City of Cape Town’s Metal Theft Unit (MTU) continues to fight against metal and cable theft, more than a decade after its inception. In the last financial year (July 2018 – June 2019), the unit dubbed the ‘Copperheads’ arrested 90 suspects for cable and metal theft. A further 22 arrests were made in the first quarter of the current financial year. Items confiscated during the same 15month period include: . 85kg of cast iron drain covers and frames; . 11 gully grids; . 11.1kg of telecommunication cable (66m); and . 288.5kg of copper cable (665m) Much of their efforts are centred around a list of the most prolific hotspots across the metropole. On the list are areas like Bishop Lavis, Bloekombos, Claremont, Eastridge, Elsies River, Harare – Khayelitsha, Kalksteenfontein, Kensington, Kraaifontein, Kuilsriver, Lentegeur, Maitland, Manenberg, Nyanga, Newlands, Ottery, Philippi East, Ravensmead, Rondebosch, Salt River and Stellenbosch Arterial. “The unit was initially established to curb the theft of City-infrastructure, but their scope has broadened as the metal and cable theft problem has grown, and very often the officers recover infrastructure belonging to state-owned enterprises as well as private sector companies,” says Mayco member for safety and security, JP Smith. “Two years ago, they also had their powers extended in terms of the Second Hand Goods Act, which allowed for the inspection
of scrap metal dealers and bucket shops, and of course we have seen the introduction of the Criminal Matters Amendment Act which introduced the option of harsher sentences for cable thieves.” It’s not always smooth sailing though, Smith admits. “A key challenge is keeping track of cases once they’re handed over to the criminal justice system. So we are not able to say with certainty how many convictions there are as a result of the unit’s interventions. In addition, the unit receives numerous requests to escort and protect maintenance teams in high-risk areas, as they too have become targets. What is means is fewer planned operations for the Copperheads,” he says. Smith notes that cable theft is arguably one of the biggest threats to the local economy, safety and security and residents’ quality of life. Apart from electricity disruptions, it also affects the functioning of critical infrastructure like trains, internet access, closed-circuit television networks and even services at clinics and libraries. “With copper selling for around R80 a kilogram, it’s easy to see why it remains such a big problem. While there have been moves to curb these acts of sabotage, far more is needed if we are to make a meaningful difference. Our officers can only be in so many places at any given time, so we appeal to the community to be our eyes and ears, and to help bring those responsible to book,” says Smith. V Anyone with information about cable or metal theft, or illegal scrap metal dealers are encouraged to report it to the City’s Public Emergency Communication Centre by calling 021 480 7700 or to their local police stations.

Mitchell Heights Primary School wins top honour in the Trash For Treats clean up and recycling competition.
TAFELSIG
Rewarding clean habits M
itchell Heights Primary School claimed the top spot in the INEOS Trash 4 Treats inter-school competition. The initiative was piloted at 10 primary schools in previously disadvantaged communities in the Western Cape and sought to show learners the value of a clean environment. The programme, which rewarded the collection of recyclables with food or ‘treats’, saw the collection of over 5 261kg of recyclable waste in just over seven weeks. “I have noticed a big difference in our learners since we started Trash 4 Treats,” says school principal Gadija Thebus. “Our learners now take pride in their school grounds and berate others who litter. It is a wonder to witness children take an active interest in caring for their environment.” Mitchell Heights School learners collected, separated, cleaned and deposited 1 032kg of recyclable waste for the first-
place reward of R30 000 allocated toward school facility upgrades and a R20 voucher for each learner to spend at their local shop. Sakumlandela Primary School and Intshayelelo Primary School, both in Khayelitsha, placed second and third and received R15 000 and R5 000 respectively. “It is easier to learn a new habit, than it is to change an old one,” says INEOS representitive, Caroline Hughes. “This is why we chose to focus on primary school children for Trash 4 Treats. By creating these clean habits early, we are inspiring a generation of environmentally conscious children.” Thebus says: “Sometimes we forget to inspire our children and tell them that they have the power to change the world. Thank you, INEOS Trash 4 Treats for starting a clean revolution at Mitchell Heights.” INEOS plans to take Trash 4 Treats and its mascot, Trashy, to more schools in Gauteng and KwaZulu Natal in 2020.

FESTIVE LIGHTS
Art contest challenges youth T
he Festive Lights Switch-On (FLSO) is a highlight on the City of Cape Town’s event diary. This year, it will take place on Sunday 1 December from 16:00 on the Grand Parade with a host of feel-good entertainment for the whole family. In the run up to the event, there are two challenges, the FLSO 2019 Music Challenge (now in its 4th year) and a brand new initiative in the form of a recycling-based art competition. They are both aimed at reaching out to the youth of Cape Town. In 2019, the art competition takes on a responsible approach to highlighting the environmental challenges.
The FLSO Waste to Art Challenge 2019, is looking for creative youth to use waste material (any) to create visual art pieces. Entries need to incorporate the event theme, ‘Cape Town: Window to The World’. The challenge for this year’s competition is for the youth to create a visual statement, a strong message that addresses the principles of waste management – reduce, reuse and recycle. A gallery has been created on http://flsoartchallenge2019.co.za/, where an image of the finished artwork can be uploaded with a description and shared with all entrants’ social media platforms. The competition is based on votes, so it will be
up to the public to decide who walks away with the R5 000 cash prize. The winner and four runners-up will also be invited to exhibit their art piece at the Civic Centre in the CBD during the school holidays. The top five artworks will be visited and adjudicated to ensure parity with the submitted image. The Festive Lights Waste to Art Challenge is now on until Thursday 21 November. How to enter: . entrants must be individuals, community groups or schools comprising students of 16 years and younger; . create an art piece made out of waste materials;
. art pieces can be pictures, clothing, furniture, sculptures and installations; . take a flattering photo or photos of the completed artwork; . go to the URL: http://flsoartchallenge2019.co.za/ then choose where to upload your media on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or PC . if using PC option, your name and email address will be required – social media will have login prompts; . upload your image together with a description of the submission and name of the entrant, age and school; . share on social media with the hashtags #FLSO2019 and #FLSOWastetoArt Visit flsoartchallenge2019.co.za for terms and conditions. Entrants can use mobile phones, PCs or they can visit any of the City’s libraries and make use of the free internet access via the Smartcape facilities to upload their images.

OPINION EDITORIAL
HELP SAVE THE RHINO: South Africans are urged to support the conservation of Rhinos to ensure that generations to come don’t have to only see them in photos and books. Among other support initiatives, people can purchase a Relate bracelet from participating retailers. A portion of the money goes towards the Endangered Wildlife Trust Rhino Project. The trust helps fund several essential conservation activities such as the deployment of equipment, skilled field staff, antipoaching and sniffer dogs, a rapid response platform for rhino orphans, and end-user awareness campaigns, to ensure the survival of this iconic animal.
Managing exam stress F
or learners and students, not to mention their parents, examination time is usually accompanied by anxiety and stress. Whilst some stress can be beneficial in creating motivation and focus, unmanaged or high levels of stress can be counterproductive and potentially affect one’s mental well-being. “Stress around exam time often stems not only from the work to be learned and the actual taking of the exam, but also from uncertainties about the results and possible consequences thereof,” says Megan Hosking, a social worker and psychiatric intake clinician at Akeso psychiatric hospitals. Each year there are tragic reports of learners taking their own lives around or after exam time, perhaps triggered by fear of failure or disappointing results. “It is devastating to think of young people feeling so pressured that they cannot see any future for themselves,” she reflects. “Our message to anyone who feels as though stress, including exam stress, is getting the better of them, is that your well-being is the most important aspect to focus on. If you find that you are struggling to cope, help is available.” Hosking gives the following tips for managing exam stress: Start preparing early and make time for relaxation According to Hosking, preparation is key to managing exam stress. “Allowing sufficient time to prepare for the exams by starting to study well in advance can be helpful as it minimises time pressures, which often add to the other stress factors around this time,” Hosking notes. “There are many approaches to studying for exams, and it may take some time to identify which study method suits you best. Once you have found an effective study method, stick to it and put in the time required to cover all the necessary material.” It is equally important to allow adequate time for rest and relaxation in the run-up to exams. “Making time for enjoyable activities can help you to maintain a healthier perspective. Plan your time to allow for much-needed breaks, as this will help to ensure that the time spent studying is optimised.” She says that physical activity, whether a walk outside, yoga, time in the gym, or some other form of exercise, can be extremely helpful for relieving stress. Final exam preparations “Going through past exam papers or practice papers can help identify any gaps in your knowledge and understanding of a subject, and can help manage pre-exam nerves,” she adds. “In the days leading up to the exam, make sure you know the exam times, venues, procedures and requirements, and plan so that you will arrive well before the start time to avoid unnecessary worry. Check which items you are permitted to take with you into the exam room.” It can be distressing for parents and caregivers to see their children going through the stress associated with exams. “Common signs of stress and anxiety include irritability, difficulty sleeping, changes in appetite and complaints about headaches, stomach aches or other physical pains. Children may also report difficulty concentrating or you may notice mood changes in your child. “Support your child year round in their studies, encouraging them to do regular revision and to stay up to date with their work. Leading up to test or exam time, you can also help by having discussions with your child about how they are feeling, reminding them to take breaks from studying, and providing supportive advice. “However, if stress persists, or feels unmanageable every time you are faced with tests, exams or deadlines, it is recommended that you consult a professional, such as a psychologist, to assist with developing coping mechanisms, time management skills and building resilience.”

Children need to be healthy To stay competitive in the modern world, today’s youth need to have a good education. It makes me sad that there are still children who have to walk more than 10 kilometres to and from school. Because these kids arrive at school tired and without having had breakfast, they find it difficult to concentrate in class. After school, they must do household chores, which prevent them from doing their homework. It is parents’ and government’s responsibility to ensure that every child in the country has transport to and from schools, and food to eat. As the saying goes: “A healthy mind comes from within a healthy body.” MPENDULO NCUBEKAZI, Email

Road works wreak havoc I am happy that there is work being done to improve our roads, but, it causes a major delay. Sometimes I wonder why it all takes so long and if it is wise to be undertaking projects at this time of the year. The roads are busier as the sun comes out. Is there not a better time to do this? I read the article on the mayor’s new pothole project (“Services go back to basics”, People’s Post 22 October) and I agree with Dawood Jacobs that there are way more road issues that need to be addressed. We cannot log calls for every single pothole and watch them fix one
and leave another one. But what I want to know even more now is if they plan to take nine years to fix potholes as well, or if this is a one day job. Because if it is a day job, or even better an hour job, then why are the potholes in our streets for years? The council says they spent millions fixing potholes last year, but show me where, because the countless ones I see have become part of our community, that is how long it has been around. No number of reports has changed that yet. PETER DAVIS, Eastridge
Post offices urges citizens to send parcels overseas now With the festive season fever looming large on the horizon, the South African Post Office is urging people who intend to send overseas parcels to immediately consider their options. Spokesperson, Martie Gilchrist says particularly those who use sea and surface mail to send their Christmas gifts are affected. She is calling on them to act soon. “This will ensure that the parcels reach their destinations in time for Christmas,” she says. Gilchrist says the country has a very little delay with items leaving its shores. However, such parcels have to go through time-consuming clearance procedures in the country of destination. “Airmail items should be posted no later than 1 December,” she says. For sea and surface mail, no later than the following dates: . The islands of Tristan da Cunha, Ascension and St Helena – no later than Thursday 31 October.
.Australia, Great Britain, Europe, the Americas (North and South), the Far East and Asia – no later than Thursday 31 October. . Items meant for countries bordering South Africa (Botswana, Lesotho, Mozambique, and Swaziland) no later than Sunday 8 December. . Only airmail is available to all other countries in Africa and these items must be posted no later than 1 December. It is too late to send parcels to the Seychelles, Comoros, Mauritius and Reunion (Indian Ocean). The deadline was Sunday 27 October. How to make sure your parcel arrives safely: . Parcels must be packaged securely, as they are transported in bulk. . If your mail item does not fill the container, fill it with packaging material like shredded paper or polystyrene to act as a shock absorber. . Make sure the items you are sending
are legal in the country of destination. In most countries, plant and animal material cannot be imported. . Ask the sender to include your cellphone number with your address. That makes it possible to SMS you when your parcel is ready for collection. The following items may not be posted: . Items containing ion lithium batteries, liquids, lotions or creams may not be transported using air mail. . Illegal items such as drugs. . Items that could leak and damage other packages. . Items that may explode or catch fire during air transport, such as aerosols or flammable liquids. . Any live animals or animal products. Gilchrist says all airmail items are x-rayed and scanned to make sure the content is legal and safe. “Parcels containing items that are not allowed are rejected by the airlines that transport the mail and returned to the post office.”
Why not use drones to fight the country’s crime problem? I was watching an international news channel on riots, and while watching this I saw what I thought was seagulls swooping above the rioting crowds, but on closer inspection, I realised it was drones. While still watching, my memory went back to a wedding my wife and I attended in Table View a few months ago, when the official wedding photographer was taking pictures using a drone with a camera attached. Now being a retired police officer and with violent protests
taking place, gunfights in our suburbs and farm attacks, illegal poaching in and around our coastline, road users terrorising other road users, attacks on local and foreign tourists on hiking trails and local security companies protecting properties and reacting to alarms, I am wondering why our police, law enforcement, rangers and traffic officials, and neighbourhood watches are not being issued with the drones. The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) and other legal experts must be
approached to investigate the legality of using drones in crime prevention and crime-fighting initiatives. I got so excited when I was compiling this article as I could only see massive benefits from the use of drones. This also has some financial benefits. Officers can use fewer helicopters. I believe even a loudspeaker can also be attached to the drones in crime prevention or crowd control. An eye in the sky sees all. KEITH BLAKE, Ottery

LENTEGEUR
Life after a spinal injury T
he Western Cape Rehabilitation Centre (WCRC) based in Lentegeur is a specialised rehabilitation centre for persons with physical disabilities due to traumatic incidents such as disease-related conditions, road traffic accidents and interpersonal violence. The facility treats approximately 53% of patients suffering from spinal injuries per year in the Western Cape. “The main causes of spinal cord injuries treated at the WCRC are interpersonal violence, specifically gunshot and stab wounds. We treat victims of road traffic accidents and other accidents such as falls. We also have some disease-related conditions such as TB, spine or spinal cancer which affects the spinal cord,” explained Jonathan Vaughn, CEO of the WCRC. Babalo Brandon Pholosi (37), a former patient and WCRC peer supporter from Site C, Khayelitsha, contracted spinal TB, an infectious disease which spread to his spine, paralysing him for life. He contracted the disease in 2000 in the Eastern Cape and travelled to the Western Cape, where he eventually went to a hospital two years later in 2002 and was referred to the WCRC for rehabilitation treatment and support. “It was hard trying to adapt in society and in an area which is not conducive for wheelchair-bound people. When I received treatment at the WCRC for four months, I was trained and given techniques by the physiotherapist on how to move my body from the ground or bed to my wheelchair and how to control my bowel movements,” said Pholosi. “I was frustrated at first, but the WCRC introduced me to ballroom and Latin dancing, which was taught at the facility by private instructors as part of the rehabilitation programme in 2002. I have come to love dancing over the past eleven years, and I get to travel
and experience new things,” said Pholosi. After he was discharged from the WCRC, he was approached by a staff member to become a peer supporter to encourage others to get through their spinal cord injury programme. Peer supporters are volunteers who are non-professional and non-clinical. They assist individuals with similar conditions or circumstances to achieve long-term recovery, for example, after a spinal cord injury. “This disability has not stopped me,” said Pholosi. He went on to compete in ballroom dancing competitions and won medals in the ballroom Latin dance category. Determination has allowed him to represent the Western Cape in ballroom Latin dance in 2014. “There is life after a spine injury. Don’t give up, push through, find healthy habits and dream again,” said Pholosi. As a WCRC peer supporter, Pholosi assists and encourages other patients on the spinal cord injury rehabilitation programme once a week to find hope and not give up on life and their dreams. “The length of stay for a patient with spinal cord injury ranges between 60 and 90 days depending on the degree of disability, medical needs, the patient’s home environment and the rehabilitation goals. Once the patient has been discharged, the person will be referred to the community-based service (CBS) to work more closely with and provide support to the patient at home. We train family members and carers to care for the patient, to better understand the potential and limitations of the patient and how to prevent complications from occurring such as pressure sores,” said Vaughn. Benefits for patients who have been discharged from the WCRC are unlimited access to the Health and Wellness Centre, which provides a hydro pool and gym facilities. The re-
hab programme is outcome-based using the International Classification of Functions (ICF). The interdisciplinary team work together with the patients and family to give them hope that they can live a fulfilling life despite the limitations of their disability. The team of doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, social workers, psychologists and dietitians identify what the patients’ goals are and what their condition will likely allow them to achieve. They focus on helping each patient to learn to adapt to their disability and function optimally in their home and work environment. A large part of the rehabilitation is training and caring for the family member, and specific training is provided before the patient is discharged. From around 453 spinal cord injured patients admitted per year, the majority (63%) come from the Acute Spinal Cord Injury Units (ASCI) at Groote Schuur and Tygerberg hospitals. The rest will be referred from other district or re- Babalo Brandon Pholosi. gional hospitals, private and other areas such as the primary healthcare plat- ince and referred for rehabilitation services form.

Jacky Adonis the Westridge Yankees catcher prepares to tag Tanta’s Nawaal Nacerodien on home plate during a super league game played at Turfhall sport complex on Saturday 26 October. PHOTO: RASHIED ISAACS
wo 3 base hits by Fayruz Beyers, bringing in four runs for Westridge Yankees, were the highlights of the Yankees 7-4 win over Tantasport in the Super League of the Cape Town Softball Association. Tantasport outhit Yankees eight to three, but were unfortunate with some poor defensive plays in the outfield. Two dropped catches by the Tantasport defense saw Yankees take the upper hand. Nawaal Nacerodien, Meghan Fillmore and Amee-Leigh Ford all batted 2-3 for Tantasport. Megan Cable, the Yankees’ pitcher, gave up eight hits whilst Fillmore and Rozanne Albertyn shared the pitching duties for Tantasport. The late game saw Falcons hold on to a valuable one run win over Kenfac Phillies, running out 7-6 winners. Young Amy Minnies performed admirably for Falcons on the pitching rubber and was rewarded when she crossed the plate for the winning run in the fifth innings of a pulsating contest. Lavender Hill easily beat newcomers
ning ways when they beat Pirates 10-1 in the Men’s Major League of the Cape Town Softball Association on Sunday. Veteran Moses Molaba continued his pitching prowess by blowing away the batters with his pace. Devonshire Rovers beat newcomers Excell Dodgers 11-3 while current champions, Hamiltons, failed to have the required nine players for their encounter against Westridge Yankees.
