CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT

New lease on life for Wynberg Wynberg CBD will be getting much needed attention. PHOTO: TIYESE JERANJI

TIYESE JERANJI @jeranji

inds of change will soon be blowing in the Wynberg Central Business District (CBD) as the area will be declared a Mayoral Urban Regeneration Project (MURP). The Mayoral Urban Regeneration Project focuses on the regeneration of identified areas within Cape Town. The idea of having the area declared a MURP follows mayor Dan Plato’s visit to the area. The visit, towards the end of May, was organised by ward councillor Liz Brunette. Wynberg Improvement District (WID) board members Roelou Slabbert and Roger King, the Wynberg police CPF Sector 1 Subforum chairperson Nancy Krisch, and the Wynberg Residents’ and Ratepayers’ Associ-

ation secretary Joan van Zyl joined the walkabout. During the walkabout, those invited went to the Wynberg Public Transport Interchange and the CBD from Egham Road and Morom Road to Station Road, the Wynberg Mall, Wynberg Main Road and Ebor Road. According to Brunette, the CBD is at a tipping point and the mayor can assist with allocating funds to projects for the regeneration of the Public Transport Interchange (PTI) and business precinct. “There are no Law Enforcement Officers stationed at the PTI and as a result taxi drivers drive and park in every available space, the roads are congested, informal traders block the sidewalks, drug dealers and addicts ply their trade, and business owners are affected as the parking bays are used by

taxi drivers,” she says. The CBD has caused a lot of outcries with issues of crime, grime, illegal and off-route taxis, gambling outlets, and buildings with problems and problem owners. Brunette says some of the outcomes of the meeting will see a team of Law Enforcement Officers being deployed to the PTI, the WID will fund at least one Rent-a-Cop. If all goes according to plan, R4m will be allocated to the MURP for projects in the CBD. “Wynberg has been on a downward spiral for many years. When I was elected as ward councillor I identified problems and have been raising the issues since 2011. Littering, illegal taxis and off-route taxis are problems at the PTI, along the Main Road, and in the residential areas. Being a MURP will see these issues being addressed,” said

Brunette. Plato says during the walkabout, residents raised concerns about homelessness, problem buildings and crime. “The CBD is being considered as part of the MURP but no final decision has been made as yet. “The objective of this programme is to uplift communities by improving safety, quality of life, and the socio-economic situation,” he says. Some of the areas that have benefited from MURP are Manenberg, Hanover Park, Lotus Park, Nyanga/Gugulethu Bishop Lavis, Valhalla Park, Bonteheuwel, Harare and Kuyasa Interchange Precinct, Bellville Transport Interchange Precinct and Voortrekker Road Corridor, Athlone CBD and Gatesville, Ocean View, Mitchell’s Plain Town Centre among others.

Rugby clinic not to miss

HOUT BAY

Damage a major set back TIYESE JERANJI @jeranji

entinel Primary School has suffered a blow after their school transport vehicle had its tyres slashed twice, during the course of last weekend. School principal Claudene Overmeyer says on Friday 14 June they came to school and found one of the tyres of their bus was slashed and the other had a puncture. They had the tyres fixed.

Coming back on Sunday 16 June as their learners were getting ready for a tournament, they found all the tyres had been slashed. Cameras on the bus were also damaged. Overmeyer believes this was done by an amateur as the person attempted so many times. “This is very heartbreaking and devastating. Why would someone do something like this? Our learners had to go for a tournament and to see this was a major set

back for us,” she says. Despite their ordeal, Overmeyer says they had to make other plans to get their learners to the tournament. “There was no way we were going to miss this tournament. We have been trying for two years to get into this tournament and when we finally did, our learners almost didn’t make it,” she says. The vehicle that has been damaged is used for various other things like transporting learners to the clinic, picking up other learners from home and also helping the elderly in the community. With the school being a non-paying fee school, Overmeyer says it is very difficult to ask parents to help repair the bus. “Some money will have to come from the school to fix the bus. This is money that would’ve been used for something else. We hope we will get it sorted out as soon as possible as we have a lot of programmes in the new term that will require us to transport kids,” she says. V To help the school email principal@sentiThe Sentinel Primary School nelps.co.za or call bus that was damaged. 021 790 1560.

HOUT BAY

DARG looks for help with a vehicle TIYESE JERANJI @jeranji

omestic Animal Rescue Group (DARG) a pro-life animal shelter based in Hout Bay needs help in securing a vehicle so that they can continue with what they do best – saving animals. The facility rehabilitates and re-homes lost, abandoned, abused and neglected animals. DARG also educates local disadvantaged communities, in particular, their children on how to care for their animals. In March, they celebrated their 20th birthday. Besides the over 200 animals at their facility, DARG also helps dogs and cats in the surrounding lower-income communities of Imizamo Yethu and Hangberg. “We assist these communities by doing sterilisations, emergency veterinary care, basic pet care and general veterinary treatments,’’ says DARG’s managing director Faustina Gardner. To continue with the work they do, they quickly need to replace the vehicle that they have, as it is old and has been giving them a lot of problems lately. Their van is used for a lot of things and without it, it becomes difficult for them to do their day-to-day duties. “Our bakkie is used as an ambulance to

take injured animals from Imizamo Yethu and Hangberg to the vet, and to rescue abused and/or abandoned animals. At present, we are sterilising up to 20 animals a week which need to be transported for surgery and then returned to their owners. “Our vehicle is used to collect donations of dog or cat food, along with clothing, house-

hold items or furniture for our garage sales that help pay our vet bills. We also pick up hay barrels and food for the farm animals and our vehicle is used for fundraising events,” says Gardner. Without a vehicle, they can’t pick up big donations because of the stress on the axle. “When our vehicle is in for repairs we have

The van that the organisation has in mind.

to rely on volunteers or the office staff to take animals to the vet. Even then, we can’t take contagious dogs or cats in our cars because we all have our own dogs and cats,” Gardner says. Their hope is to get a bakkie with a canopy and apart from saving animals, the bakkie can also be very handy should it be needed in the local community. “For example, in 2017 there was a terrible fire in Hout Bay and DARG assisted hundreds of residents from Imizamo Yethu with food, water and clothing drop-offs. We assist with emergency relief, and a bigger vehicle will help us to reach more people and animals,” she says Though they are trying to raise money for this bakkie they are also faced with a challenge of having to raise funds for their monthly costs. “Our fundraising events are all aimed at raising enough money to pay our running costs which equate to R220 000 per month. “We really need help with a new vehicle as soon as possible. Our current bakkie is on it’s way out and has given us a number of problems. We are still using our old vehicle but we are doing so sparingly as we don’t want to have a breakdown with animals on board,” she explains. V To help DARG call 021 790 0383 or email dargdays@gmail.com.

Programme ensures examination readiness With only over 100 days to go until the start of the 2019 National Senior Certificate (NCS) examinations, Grade 12 learners from schools all over the province will attend the Winter Schools programme. This programme, initiated by the provincial department of education, is to ensure that candidates are prepared for the exams. The programme aims to assist learners in high enrolment subjects such as mathematics, physical science, geography, life science, accounting and economics. The department has initiated a number of targeted and sustained interventions at schools across the province, which include a Winter Schools Programme and Winter Camps for matrics. Provincial minister for education Debbie Schäfer visited the programme at the Salt River Secondary School where about 500 Grade 12 learners from four high schools in the area are undergoing

an intensive revision programme ahead of the 2019 NSC examination period. “This Winter School is just one of the many that the department is running across the province to ensure that our Grade 12 learners are well prepared for the upcoming exams,” Schäfer said. She said that she was pleased to see learners making use of the opportunities the department has provided to assist them in preparing for their final exams. “It was also a pity that some who were scheduled to come did not bother. We can only create opportunities, but people need to take them up,” she said. Many of the programmes on offer are taught by tutors selected by the department. “I am extremely encouraged to see the commitment of so many learners to improve their results with a phenomenal number of learners attending Winter Schools across the province,” Schäfer said.

The provincial minister for social development Sharna Fernandez encourages the public to work with the non-profit organisations (NPOs) to help the vulnerable during the winter season. In a statement, Fernandez says government’s efforts to help can only be effective if the Department of Social Development (DSD) and the public work in partnership with NPOs. According to Fernandez, the department currently funds 27 shelters for homeless adults across the province, with a total of just under 1500 bed spaces. She says DSD has since been working tirelessly to ensure that winter readiness programmes are operational in each region across the province. “Harsh winter conditions deepen the social vulnerability of people located in either informal settlements or remote rural locations. Our major preparations involve shelters for homeless adults, social work services aimed at family reunification, and social relief of distress for citizens in emergency situations who are in desperate need of support,” she says. V For more information on registered NPOs visit local offices or call the DSD hotline at 0800 220 250.

Chefs4Soil raises the bar T

he third annual Chefs4Soil charity dinner has been a resounding success. Tickets were sold out within a week and over R40 000 was raised for Soil for Life’s Home Food Gardening programme. Soil for Life is a Constantia-based public benefit organisation that teaches people to grow their own food, recycle and protect the environment. This year’s event which took place at Chefs Warehouse Beau Constantia on Thursday 13 June was dubbed “The Beau Down” as Ivor Jones, head chef at Chefs Warehouse Beau Constantia, and Graham Oldfield of restaurant Bao Down, collaborated to create a

contemporary feast of tantalising tapas and Asian-inspired small plate dishes in support of charity organisation, Soil for Life. Ingredients included unusual herbs and plants freshly-picked in Soil for Life’s organic garden and training centre in Constantia and each course was paired with Beau Constantia wines. The annual dinner is a vital source of funding for their community programmes. “We plough the money raised at Chefs4Soil into training for individuals from very poor areas, developing valuable skills that help them, their families and communities grow,” says Pat Featherstone, founder

of Soil for Life and recent winner of Enviropaedia’s Eco-Logic Lifetime Achiever Award 2019. “To sell out within a week shows how people look forward to Chefs4Soil. We have a lot of fun creating a special night for guests who love to eat, enjoy fine wine and support Soil for Life, an awesome cause,” said Jones. “We work to keep it fresh, creative and delicious. We’ve really enjoyed #TheBeauDown collaboration with Graham Oldfield this year and have some exciting plans already for 2020,” said Jones V For more on Soil for Life visit www.soilforlife.co.za.

WCCPA pays tribute to a medical pioneer T

he Western Cape Cerebral Palsy Association (WCCPA) unveiled a commemorative plaque in honour of Doctor Leila Arens at the Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital. The ceremony took place in Rondebosch on Wednesday 12 June. Arens spent most of her professional career as a physician, studying and caring for children with Cerebral Palsy, a developmental disorder of a child’s brain which results in difficulty of movement affecting daily activities such as walking, sit-

ting, eating and drinking. The condition is lifelong with no cure. Arens published many studies on these topics and pioneered several novel therapies designed to improve the quality of life of the children she treated. She taught many generations of medical students and was known for her excellent teaching. In 1968 Arens, with Doctor Gladys Beinhart, started the WCCPA Cerebral Palsy Clinic at Red Cross, at a time when Developmental Medicine and Child Neurology was in its

infancy internationally. Over the past 50 years, thousands of children with cerebral palsy were recipients of specialist rehabilitative therapies provided at the clinic. The clinic continues to provide 300 rehabilitative physiotherapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy sessions a month that aim to improve both the functional ability and quality of life for children with cerebral palsy. Doctor Anita Parbhoo, medical manager at Red Cross, says: “Collaborating with WCCPA therapists

in a multidisciplinary clinic to treat cerebral palsy patients has provided a holistic patient-centred service for these patients”. Arens passed away on 8 July 2018 in Minnesota in the United States of America (USA) where she emigrated to in 2001 to join her children. A statement read: “The WCCPA, Western Cape Government Health and the Red Cross Hospital will forever be grateful to this pioneer and visionary for her dedication to the treatment and care of children with cerebral palsy.’’

Irma’s painting goes on auction A

n evocative Irma Stern painting that was bought from the artist and paid in monthly instalments by a young actress as a gift for her father 80 years ago, and owned by her family ever since, makes its first appearance on the open market The Old Mutual Conference Centre, Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, on Monday 1 and Tuesday 2 July. This is an auction by The Stephan Welz & Co. The painting, Arab Dhows, was purchased in 1940 by Barbara Macleod for 12 guineas, which she paid to the artist – scrupulously, according to Irma Stern’s records – in four instalments. The work will be auctioned at the Constantia based Fine Art and Design Auctioneers with an estimated value of R700 000 to R900 000. Stern (1894 - 1966) painted Arab Dhows in 1939 at the start of what is regarded as her golden period. According to a statement, this was marked by intense productivity during the 1940s when she spent much of her time in Zanzibar and became energised and excited by the exotic life she encountered there. “She was particularly enthralled by Arab Dhows and the exotic goods their traders brought to the region. The painting was part of a 1940 exhibition in Johannesburg where Ms Macleod bought the work for her father, Lewis Rose Macleod, then editor of the Rand Daily Mail, which went on to become a strong voice in opposition to apartheid,” read the statement.

Rare, intimate portraits Other works likely to attract strong interest from collectors include two watercolours and a hand-written letter by Lady Anne Barnard (1750 – 1825). This fiercely independent Scottish aristocrat came to the Cape of Good Hope in 1797 as the wife of the Colonial Sec-

retary of the Cape Colony. Her African adventures, recorded in her diaries, drawings and paintings, became legendary. “The two, 220 year old watercolours give us a rare glimpse into the lives of individual women from the under classes of the Cape Colony at the end of the 18th century, and they have been brought to life through ground-breaking new research by historian Tracey Randle who has managed to trace their origins and possible identities by digging deep into the archives,” the statement went on to say. The paintings on auction, titled Black Madonna and Khoi Woman, are Irma Stern’s Arab Dhows will be going under the hammer. intimate depictions of a young slave woman, known as Theresa, 50 years with a handwritten letter from Barnursing the infant of her master, Jacob van nard to Henry Dundas in 1801.

with its predominantly blue colouring. From 1963 to the mid 1970s, Sekoto repeatedly painted what became known as his ‘blue heads’, a series of busts primarily of women, most frequently with the use of a blue palette. Before he began painting his first blue heads, Sekoto produced a ballpoint pen on paper sketch of Miriam Makeba, universally acclaimed as the Queen of African Song. The pen drawing of Makeba features the same composition as Sekoto’s blue heads, raising the possibility that it may have been the inspiration for his blue head paintings of African women. Sekoto wrote of his practice of painting the blue heads that he wanted to express the beauty of the women of his own race, as opposed to the white female beauties that he felt were so abundantly portrayed by artists throughout history. Head of an African Woman will be on auction with an estimated value of R600 000 to R900 000. Viewings for this auction will take place from Friday 28 until Sunday 30 June at 10:00 to 17:00 with the jewellery being packed away at 16:30.

A huge ribbon was wrapped around the fence of the Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital to highlight their fundraising campaign for the upgrade of the emergency centre on Friday 14 June. The event was attended by learners from different schools, Red Cross Children’s Hospital Trust ambassadors, media personality Zoë Brown, musician Mujahid George, actress Jawaahier Petersen, musician Madeegha Anders, radio personality Guy MacDonald and the Magic 88.8 radio team, Stormers players, past patients, parents, hospital management and staff. One of the hospital’s recent patients, 11year-old Blaze Phieffer from Lotus River, shared her incredible story for the first time. Phieffer was the recipient of a doubletransplant (kidney and liver) that took place in February. According to a statement sent out by the Trust, this type of operation takes place very rarely and seeing her speak at this event, it is clear that it has been a great success. Phieffer has been in and out of hospital since the age of four. After seven years, treatment was failing, and she was given six months to live. “I stopped working to look after her and tears fill our eyes each time we think about our journey and the moments that once looked like defeat. She had a few months to live and now our daughter will be fine again,” says Byron Koopman, Phieffer’s father.

At the event, the trust officially welcomed Gary Gold, head coach of the United States of America rugby team going to the Rugby World Cup as their latest ambassador. Gold has had a personal connection with the hospital since he was a teenager. “One afternoon in 1985, after school I looked out of the window and suddenly noticed our domestic’s baby lying at the bottom of the pool. I immediately jumped in, tried to resuscitate her, then ran to the neighbour for help. After driving to the closest doctor who turned us away, we fortunately arrived at Red Cross Children’s Hospital’s Trauma Unit where she was attended to immediately and I am delighted to say that she survived,” said Gold, adding that the hospital is a very special place and he is passionate about helping the trust to raise the much-needed funds to help heal children in Africa holistically. The trust has embarked on their Leave Your Mark on Life Campaign to raise R150m by 2020, and through this activation, they are appealing to the public to help contribute towards the outstanding amount which currently sits at R72m. The ribbon will remain an iconic feature for months to come and is a true reflection of the doctors, nurses and staff who are so dedicated to “wrapping their arms” around the hundreds and thousands of children who visit the hospital each year.

Kudos to employees at Wynberg drop off This is an open letter to the City of Cape Town officials and to the residents of Cape Town. This afternoon Friday 31 May, I was at the Wynberg Drop Off site off Rosmead Avenue. The first thing that struck me was that the manager Mr Daniels who I have come to know very well, standing at the gate with his security and his staff checking vehicles bringing in waste and recyclable goods. I drove to the top where vehicles offload their waste into huge bins. While offloading I had a bird’s eye view and saw how neat how well managed and well the staff did their duties. Each person was busy with their duties and helping very satisfied residents. The recycle department ran like a well-oiled Rolls Royce engine under the dedicated professional and passionate care of a lady called Chandre who I also came to know very well. I decided to, from my high

perch, take pictures to enhance my letter. As I was busy I was told that the two Waste Drop-off depots at Woodstock and Retreat have closed and this left me totally mystified, with so much dirt and illegal dumping one would think more Waste Drop-off sites would litter the City to deal with illegal dumping and create employment in the recycling business. I could then only hope that the planned Waste Drop-off site for Parkwood would speed up to compensate for the alleged closure of the Retreat Waste Drop-off site and if true what is plan B never mind A for the alleged closure of the Woodstock site. I would strongly recommend the City with the wisdom of Solomon called upon Mr Daniels and Chandre as consultants on how to manage and drive a Waste Drop-off site. KEITH BLAKE Ottery

Thank you councillor Oliver On 26 April I sent a WhatsApp message to councillor Monty Oliver with pictures of my blocked drain in the road and stressed that our area towards Ottery Gardens is prone to flooding during the winter. Oliver and his office secretary Mrs Elsabe Turner have once again proved their commitment to service delivery and to address issues and complaints sent to their office. What makes this work is their policy of communication to the ward residents like myself. This morning (Thursday 23 May) my wife said there are people busy in our road and my granddaughter and I went outside and here was a team cleaning out the drains. Thank you councillor Oliver and Mrs Turner. KEITH BLAKE Ottery

So I noticed that as the state of the nation address (Sona) was shared on social media, it was more about what people were wearing on the red carpet. I wonder if anyone even listened to what the president had to say? This is probably the most important speech. It tells us what we need to know about the way forward. Even if it is all pipe dreams, it is something that we can use to hold him and his government accountable. What the president wears and what the rest of them wear is all the rage but it only detracts from the importance of it, and in fact, it makes it somewhat a joke. I suppose Julius and his crew have the right idea. The red gear stands out but it is a constant and by now we are used to it. You don’t see them prancing in designer gowns or suits. Maybe moving forward, as public servants, the members of parliament should join their police, army and rescue service counterparts in wearing a uniform to these meetings. That way we can all focus on what is said and not what is worn. LEWIS PETERSEN Email

As president Ramaphosa noted, economic growth and increased employment must be the focus of government at the moment, and neither of these can occur without massive new investment in South Africa, so it was a relief to hear several statements that will hopefully reassure both local and foreign investors that the country is still on the right track under his leadership. The president made it very clear, for example, that the independence of the Reserve Bank, as enshrined in Section 224 of the constitution, will not be undermined. He also outlined very specific measures to deal with violent crime, which is currently driving many highly skilled people to leave and cause a brain drain that SA really cannot afford. And he announced that the NPA (National Prosecuting Authority) has now been tasked with an asset seizure plan to start recovering the billions of rands stolen by corrupt public officials over the past few years. Ramaphosa also did not avoid the question of land expropriation without compensation but provided an assurance that while land reform is to be accelerated, this will be done according to a comprehensive plan that will shortly be drawn up by the cabinet.

In the meanwhile, government is to speed up the identification and allocation of state-owned land close to the metropolitan areas for smart residential developments and small-scale farming, and we believe this could provide the breakthrough needed to realise the National Development Plan goal of eliminating informal settlements – and adding millions of new homeowners to the formal property market. According to the General Household Survey just released by StatsSA, 2.1 million of SA’s 16.7 million households currently live in informal homes, compared to 15 million out of 11.2 million households in 2002, so the development of state-provided housing has clearly not kept pace with growth in the number of households. But greater co-operation between the public sector, which will provide the land, and the private sector, which will provide the expertise and the labour, could well solve this problem, especially if the housing subsidies that already exist are made more accessible to low-income buyers. The plan will have the added benefit of creating additional employment in the construction industry. And since the health of real estate market is highly dependent on both consumer confidence and employment

growth, we also welcome all the other plans government has put in motion to create additional employment with the limited public funds at its disposal, and the assistance of labour, business and civil society. These include the revitalisation of labour-intensive industrial sectors, the development of more agri-businesses, intensified marketing to double foreign tourist numbers to 21 million a year by 2030, and the re-launch of the Buy-South African campaign. Like many others, however, we are very concerned at the plans to accelerate the appropriation of the R230bn needed to bail out Eskom over the next 10 years. This will take more money out of the pockets of consumers, many of whom are already battling to make ends meet, and further limit their ability to pay rent, save for a deposit or qualify for a loan to buy their own home. A reliable power supply is, of course, essential for the economy to grow, but we believe that government should be looking to phase out coal powered electricity and replace it with renewables from private sector providers as soon as possible, for the sake of the planet as well as the economy.

Voters expect leadership with integrity

We need more cops

For the first time since 1994, many voted with much uncertainty, reservation and trepidation. I know that there are good people within many organisations, but I also know that there are stalwarts, that have long reached their expiry date and create more harm than good and no longer have the energy levels, motivation, inspiration and vision that they once had. Instead, arrogance and self-interest replaced integrity, especially as it filters down to ward councillors, municipalities etcetera, where accountability and performance aren’t monitored or supervised, and null and void. In broad context and in general, DA governance was once renowned and comprised astute, educated people, regardless of creed or culture. There used to be leadership where work ethic was once an imperative and indelible part of the organisations structure, ethos and governance. Humanitarian scruples, determination, tenacity and self-discipline formed an intricate part of the DA’s organisational

Why are our kids dying in the streets? Why do we as parents and grandparents need to bury our children. They are supposed to be the future of our country, but they are dying. I read so often on social media and in the newspapers about youngsters being killed because of the choices they make, but recently, there has also been an increase in children dying because they were just in the wrong place or mistaken identity. I am very concerned that our police service is not adequate or prepared for the “war” going on in the streets. We hear so much about the new teams they deploy and the new plans they have, but the bottom line is the Cape Flats needs more police. They need to be better trained and equipped. Gone should be the day when we wait hours for police to respond. Our youth are dying and we need to act. We need to do something before it is too late. We should not have to live in fear.

Many who voted for a DA Western Cape Governance, will be mindfully watching, observing and expecting the winds of change to sweep through the ranks of those that govern the Western Cape (again). Accountability and measurable performance evaluation of leaders in every facet of the governmental sphere of leadership, management, supervisory and work ethic are of paramount importance.

Raising funds to help youth The 790 Youth Rec Club from Hout Bay is on a mission to raise R100 000 for youth development. The club’s chairperson Roscoe Jacobs says June month is the month South Africa focuses on the youth but not enough is being done to prevent them from becoming victims or perpetrators of crime. In the Western Cape, hundreds of young people are killed due to gang violence and drug abuse. “Time for rhetoric is over and as the youth we need to play an active role in turning things around, this is why I am trying to raise R100 000 for the 790 Youth Rec Club,” he says. The club runs various programmes to help the youth in the area as well as the surrounding areas. The club has hosted career expos, after-school support programmes, holiday programmes and sport support programmes. Learners who have participated

in these programmes are currently studying at institutions of higher learning and those who are still in these programmes do well in school. “Drugs is a business and to fight this social ill we must have funds to support youth development programmes to deter youth from doing drugs. To continue the programme funds are needed and because of this a decision was taken to raise funds on the BackaBuddy platform,” he says. To date, only R15 970 of the R100 00 has been raised and they still need more help to reach their target. “The 790 Youth Rec Club appeals to citizens of South Africa to support our campaign, in so doing helping us reduce the chances of youth becoming victims or perpetrators of crime and drugs in our beautiful land,” says Jacobs.

Funding fair to create jobs C

reation of opportunities for growth and jobs is a top priority for the Western Cape Government. This was revealed by David Maynier, provincial minister of Finance and Economic Opportunities, at the opening of the funding fair on Friday 14 June. The fair was co-hosted by the Department of Economic Development and Tourism and Deloitte Western Cape. In a statement from his department, Maynier revealed more than 1000 people with an interest in entrepreneurship attended the event. “This fifth Western Cape Funding Fair aimed to support and promote entrepreneurship and small business, by providing a platform for entrepreneurs who want to learn more about how to turn ideas into bankable plans which can attract funding; and by providing a platform to facilitate engagement between

entrepreneurs who require funding and enterprises who extend funding,” the statement read. According to the statement, Maynier thanked partners and the private sector who have stepped up to work with government to achieve these goals in the Western Cape.“We need more entrepreneurs, because you are the innovators, you are the creators and you are the employers, with the capacity to begin to give independence, to give dignity, to give freedom and to give hope to people, especially young people, who do not have jobs, or who have given up looking for jobs, in the Western Cape,” he said. He told the entrepreneurs they hope the Western Cape Funding Fair provides them with the opportunity or the inspiration to start a new small business or even to expand an existing small business, in the Western Cape region.

New opera staged in October BEVERLEY BROMMERT On Youth Day (16 June), Cape Town Opera (CTO) announced its latest production: Soweto Uprising – The Aftermath, scheduled for staging in October this year. Not for the first time, this company is demonstrating its commitment to promoting love of music and opera among the youth, and this venture has the added merit of recording a painful past with which today’s younger generation may be increasingly unfamiliar. The production represents a collaboration between the Western Cape Department of Cultural Affairs and Sport (which is contributing funds) and a creative team consisting of scriptwriter and director Mhlanguli George and composer Sipumzo Lucwaba, co-ordinated by CTO’s Masixole Makwetu, responsible for the company’s Youth Development and Education programmes. When completed, the new work will be performed by students from Chris Hani Secondary School and Lathi-Tha School of Skills, both based in Khayelitsha. On the motivation for Soweto Uprising, Makwetu explained that this musical is intended to make today’s youth aware that 16 June is not “just a day off school”; its commemoration of a significant event in South African history and should be brought to the attention of learners in 2019. The work deals specifically with the aftermath as opposed to the uprising, exploring what happened to those involved on opposing sides in the 1970s. Although far too young to claim any personal participation in that march, Makwetu has a deep interest in it through his activist grandfather, who was a political prisoner on Robben Island at the time. Scriptwriter and director George, noted for his fresh and unique take on various productions, said: “I was very happy when Masixole asked me to direct this musical,

then on reflection I realised that it’s not like previous shows as some of those involved are still alive – unlike works dating from a long-gone past,” he said. “That enabled me to do first-hand research, such as talking to Seth Mazibuko (a school prefect who headed the march). I heard the story from my parents … Are the kids up to the challenge? Totally. I’ve worked with learners at both these schools before, on an adaptation of Tsotsi, and they’re equally committed and full of talent. I’m looking forward to working with them again.” Composer Lucwaba admitted that inspiration for the score of Soweto Uprising is a complex affair, due to the broad range of emotions evoked. “You can’t just rush in and start composing for a subject like this; there’s hope, tragedy, loss, ups and downs, highs and lows. As for genre, there are elements of choral music as well as high school musical. With my Eastern Cape roots, I’m familiar with that powerfully emotive singing heard at, for example, sports matches to rouse a crowd the way struggle songs do, and that is also included.” He was adamant though that traditional struggle songs are not incorporated into his score: “Do we want people moved by ‘old’ music? Struggle songs are very specific, and I need to create new songs of similar power instead of relying on history.” Provincial minister for cultural affairs and sport Anroux Marais, added: “Young people – past, present and future – are extremely important. To members of the creative team, with this sensitive story to tell, I say ‘Do what you do’. The subject is still relevant today and restores meaning to the past. We particularly support Cape Town Opera, which has given opportunities to young upcoming artists from all walks of life, many of them previously disadvantaged; they can use opera to tell their story.” V To find out more visit https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=mz49HSN5tgc&t=32s&pbjreload=10.

ARBOR MONTH

Council sports facilities go green C

ity of Cape Town sport facilities are first on the list for going green, after the City’s Recreation and Parks Department launched a special Large Tree Planting Project leading up to Arbor Month in September. The City’s nursery in Newlands has resumed tree planting for the first time since 2016. In recent years, the horticultural sector was hamstrung by the severe drought and the accompanying water restrictions. This included a prohibition on irrigation of trees, resulting in a drastic reduction in the number of trees the department was able to plant. Mayco member for community services and health Zahid Badroodien said the upside is that the tree stock in the nursery increased and over time the trees in the controlled environment grew bigger and taller. “The nursery was able to sustain the plants through borehole water. These trees are now the ideal planting stock as the more established a tree is when planted, the greater its chances of survival in the natural environment. Larger trees also have an immediate visual impact when planted in an area without trees, displaying their ability to transform any landscape overnight,” he said. A total of 600 large trees, valued at about R1.2m are being planted over a six-month period. This will create jobs for an additional 10 Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP ) workers, who will undergo specialised training and development. Both indigenous and non-invasive exotic trees will be planted across the city at sports fields with alternative water sources available for irrigation. Sports fields were selected as the primary target, due to the positive change newly planted trees can make to the appearance of

The Recreation and Parks Department encourages the public to get involved in taking care of newly planted trees by following these smart watering guidelines: .
