Zoe Project launched a pilot programme called The Princess Project, aimed at empowering young women, at Casa Labia.

STEENBERG | LAVENDER HILL | RETREAT

NPOs put women first RACINE EDWARDES @RaeEdwardes Women have led the way during August, empowering each other and their communities through the work they do; and there’s no sign of these women-run organisations slowing down anytime soon. The spirit of giving For Women’s Month this year, three nonprofit organisations from Steenberg, Lavender Hill and Retreat have put their resources to good use – as they always do – to be the giving hands in their communities. Karen Maarman, a qualified hairdresser and founder of Bethel Projects Women, started the non-government organisation with the help of three women about 10 years ago to provide safe spaces for children. “It started at Sunday school in Lavender Hill. We would always see children in the

street, and then we decided to cook for them.” The feeding scheme was well received but it wasn’t enough, and so the women began to reach out to school dropouts. “We started hairdressing classes, because once they have a skill they can make money. We taught them hairdressing and beading, instilling a spirit of entrepreneurship,” she says. Fulfilling needs Moeridha Dien, founder of Dews of Quietness, and Tracy Aitken, founder of The Zoe Project, both started their projects to address unique needs in the community. The Zoe Project, established more than 20 years ago in Retreat, educates women on maternal healthcare and provides for those who endure the socio-economic problems common to the area. Through education, nurturing and em-

powerment, The Zoe Project assists mothers and families during and after labour. Dien, who runs her non-profit organisation with about 20 other women, was also moved by the challenges women faced in the community. It motivated her to launch the NPO to provide counselling for abused women and children. Today the organisation, operating from offices at Delta Primary School, offers women a much wider range of assistance. Despite hurdles, such as insufficient space and funding, the organisation continues to launch new initiatives. Women face challenges every day and Aitken believes that women should, therefore, be celebrated every day. “Every day should be Women’s Day,” she says. Women’s Month Every August, Maarman and her daughter carry out a month-long task to show

women how special they are. “I beautify one woman a day. We give them makeovers. Last year, we focused on homeless woman and the year before that, on pastors. This year, we helped women who I came across who felt they needed a makeover,” she explains. Making women feel beautiful is not the only work she’s doing in aid of women this month. She also holds a women’s support group every Thursday at her home in Military Road. Dews of Quietness, supported by Bergvliet Lions Club, collected sanitary pads for young girls in under-resourced areas. “We went to an event at a church where we donated 40 packs of pads. “The Lions Club donated 80 packs of pads for distribution to the girls, and Rohlig-Grindrod also donated 100 packs,” says Dien.

New school facilities taking shape

RACINE EDWARDES @RaeEdwardes

earners from four Mod schools in Lavender Hill will soon benefit from the construction of new facilities for sports and assemblies at Prince George Primary School. The Mass participation; Opportunity and access; Development and growth (Mod) programme is a Western Cape government initiative that will allow children in Lavender Hill access to fun-filled recreational and sports activities to be held after school at the new facilities. The building project is scheduled to be completed next year. This is one of many Mod projects taking shape. “Construction has been underway for over a year at the adjacent Lavender Hill High School, Hillwood Primary School and

Levana Primary School,” says Bronagh Hammond, director of communications at the provincial education department. “At present, a multi-purpose sports hall is being constructed at Prince George Primary School. Prior to this hall, tennis and netball combination courts, a synthetic soccer pitch and a parking area were constructed as part of the Mod project.” The principal of the school, Lameez Rabbaney, is confident that, once completed, it will yield positive outcomes for the youth. However, he says, the construction process has not been without its challenges. “We are very excited about the way the construction is going. Even though we’ve had to make quite a few changes, we know in 2020 we’re going to have a beautiful hall, so we don’t mind all the minor little hur-

dles,” she says. Unfortunately, the construction has affected the kitchen facilities. As a result, the feeding scheme for children at the school was sometimes interrupted. The school’s prized garden was also uprooted to lay sewage pipes underground and will need to be nursed back to health once modifications to the school have been completed. Rabbaney, however, remains optimistic. She believes the construction process has been a valuable learning tool for the learners. “It’s a learning opportunity for our learners who are doing technology. They get to see the cranes in action.” V To find out more about the Mod programme, visit www.westerncape.gov.za.

“This month has been beautiful. We’ve also attended the events of other organisations where we demonstrated how women are weighed down with responsibility. As each woman tells her story, a blanket is added to show the burden of responsibilities that we carry.” The Zoe Project launched a pilot programme, The Princess Project, at Casa Labia. More than 100 women and men, and six girls from Sebilius High School, came together in support of the programme. “The four-week programme, aimed at Grade 8 girls, deals with identity. It teaches them that their sexuality is not their identity,” says Aitken. The project educates girls on pregnancy prevention and how to care for themselves and their babies if they do fall pregnant. Operating from the Retreat Maternity Centre, the project has trained 39 new birthing companion volunteers to provide support and ante-natal advice to mothers.

here Rainbows Meet Training and Development Foundation celebrated Women’s Day in style, showcasing the talents of women in the community. The foundation held its annual Women’s Day event on Friday 9 August at Capricorn Primary School. Project manager for the foundation Kyle Cupido explains: “There was a buzz running up to the event. “Everyone at our organisation couldn’t wait to entertain and encourage the guests on the day!” He says the event, which started at 11:00 and ran to 17:00, was chock-a-block with inspirational talks and dance performances by people from across the city X all eager to share their talents with others. “Even the women from our sewing and beading centre, who have been preparing for many weeks, did their best

dance performance yet,” he says. Guest speakers at the event included representatives from Muizenberg police station, the department of social development and other organisations in the area, as well as community leaders. “This year the foundation hosted more than 300 women at the event. They were treated to many wonderful treats and gifts. The day was a celebration of what every woman deserves daily.” Cupido, the foundation and those involved were glad of the opportunity to spoil these very deserving women and to allow them the chance to relax, “which is something most of them haven’t experienced before,” he says. “A big thank you to everyone who supported this event and to those who were part of this memorable occasion,” says Cupido.

About 300 women were spoilt at the Women’s Day celebrations on Friday 9 August.

Illegal liquor trade under siege SAMANTHA LEE @Samantha_Lee121

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

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-

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.

12 LETTERS BABOONS

PEOPLE'S POST | RETREAT Tuesday, 27 August 2019

LETTERS

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. . University of Cape Town Professor Justin O’ Riain is also associated with the Institute of Communities and Wildlife Africa.

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

PEOPLE'S POST | RETREAT Tuesday, 27 August 2019

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:

Legacies and cultures honoured EARL HAUPT AND RASHIED ISAACS @EarlHaupt

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, despite the fact that they looked a little bit different and spoke a little bit differently, they were all football-mad,” says Shirley. Ebrahim Moerat, sport director at Islamia College says the interfaith tournament spoke to their strategies, especially its expansion to include other codes, and incorporating girls. “We’ve shown this year that there is a lot of potential in the tournament. It is played in a friendly spirit in honour of a learner who has passed on who represented two of the schools,” says Moerat.

The teams played each other in a soccer match every year until the passing of Rohan Bloom. He had been a learner at both Herzlia and then Bishops before he sadly succumbed to a Ewing sarcoma, a type of tumor that forms in bone or soft tissue, in 2016. “Following his passing, I spoke to his father and that’s when we decided to ask Bishops to join it,” adds Shirley. Rod Bloom established the Rohan Bloom Foundation after his son’s passing, explaining that he never wanted his son to become a cancer statistic and looked for a way to honour his legacy. “What I experienced when he was ill, was that there wasn’t a specialised children’s hospice in Cape Town. There was not a place for children who are terminally ill to pass with dignity, which went for the families as well,” says Bloom.

He then approached Paedspal, who is a public-private partnership programme who provide paediatric palliative care to children in the Western Cape. Bloom says that while Paedspal currently offers an outpatient facility where they look after children with chronic illnesses and terminal children, there is no inpatient facility. He hopes that funds will be raised in creating an inpatient facility of this nature, which will then be called Rohan House. Bloom is overwhelmed by the response of the schools in the growth of the interfaith tournament. “It is unbelievable. I remember when you were younger you looked forward to your birthday and you had that day, remember how you felt. It is a special day, which is how I feel, it’s (like) my birthday. It just means so much to me, I feel Rowan’s presence here,” he says.
