Piling litter a concern TIYESE JERANJI @jeranji
A
Pinelands resident is at her wits’ end as she can’t deal with the amount of litter that ends up in her yard. Mariana Gouws says the dirt comes from Jan Smuts Drive and she suspects that the dirt is either blown out of trucks that carry dirt or just reckless motorists that throw dirt out of their car windows, and she has to deal with all the dirt piling up in her yard. Last month, she left it to pile up and invited People’s Post to see for themselves what
she has to deal with daily. Gouws says she can’t take it anymore. “This is so unacceptable. This just goes to show how people care less for the environment. I have to deal with this every day and I can’t anymore. Motorists must learn to be responsible and not throw things out of their cars,” she says. Taking the People’s Post around her yard, the visibly irritated woman pointed out cement packs, chips packs, bread plastic bags, grocery packs, polystyrene containers among other things. “One day I even found an invoice from a
bakery in Bellville in my yard. I have never been to Bellville. And the bread plastics I get here is stuff that I don’t even buy. Something must be done because this can’t go on forever. I’m sick and tired of cleaning after someone’s mess,” she says. Gouws has been dealing with this for years, with no solution to her problem in sight. She believes if there was a hefty fine for people that litter, she wouldn’t be dealing with this. “In countries like Hong Kong and Singapore, this is a punishable offence. People are more careful there. We must have that in this country as well. Residents must
be active citizens and report when they see someone throwing stuff out of their car windows or a lorry transporting things and they are flying out. All these must be reported,” she suggests. She has reported this to her ward councillor, Brain Watkyns, who says he has addressed a lot of issues raised by Gouws but this is one that he has been struggling with to find a viable solution. “This is a difficult one and we have not found a solution to it. I suggested to her at some point to raise her wall. We are looking at resolving this, but we have not found her solution yet,” he says.

Ribbon to help fundraising campaign 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 double-transplant (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 at-
tended 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.

Kicking open doors of opportunity TIYESE JERANJI @jeranji
A
karate school in Mowbray made history as 20 of their members graded to black belts at the school on Saturday 15 June. Goju Kai Hombu Dojo Karate School teenagers between the ages of 12 and 16, as well as adults graded together with two senior students achieving their third Dan grading and in doing so, obtained their international teacher’s licence. The karate school commemorated 50 years of teaching karate in the townships of Cape Town and for them, having dozens grade was an unexplainable moment. Started by Peter Brandon Hanshi in Nyanga in 1968, the school has members from many townships including Khayelitsha, Crossroads and Langa, among many others. Peter, assisted by his son Frank Brandon Shihan, continue to develop and grow the art of karate in the townships and throughout South Africa. Goju Kai is one of the oldest traditional karate styles in the world with members throughout 72 countries. Goju Kai is supported by African Warriors of Light, a nonprofit organisation that was formed to help their less fortunate members. “This initiative started 50 years ago with African Warriors of Light taking many members from our townships to world tournaments and cultural exchanges throughout Europe and Japan and in turn changing the lives of many,” says Frank. These newly graded black belts, with the assistance of African Warriors of Light, will have the opportunity to travel to Switzerland and Holland in July next year to train with the head of Switzerland, Horst Baumgartel, and head of Holland, shihan Jan van
Junior students in action during their grading at the school. den Dries, along with all their junior and senior students. With sensei Buntu Mpetsheni at the helm as the technical director of Goju Kai within the townships, Frank says a lot of doors have opened for the members. “Buntu is one person that pushes the members to go forward and enter a lot of competitions. He even goes further to push for bursaries to ensure that the members get help,” he says. Mpetsheni has recently returned from Japan, having graded to fifth Dan and attended the famous Warrior Week held in the Mitake
Mountains outside Tokyo where he was exposed to intense training in temperatures below zero degrees. Peter and Frank are committed to changing the lives of as many young people in the township, through training and travel. “We believe that through travelling to different countries and experiencing different cultures culminates in opening the minds and hearts of our youth to realise opportunities they may not have thought possible. “Even when they come for training at the studios, they learn a lot from each other because they all go beyond culture, race and
religion.” He continues: “By mixing with other people it really gives them a better perspective in life.” Frank adds that these children and the youth in the townships need to be recognised because once they are recognised they can do so much more. “By them doing better, it gives hope to other kids coming up to see what they have done and they can follow suit. We have a fantastic support structure – we take these kids out to Europe, Japan every year,” he says. V For more information call 083 290 7327.

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, sitting, 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 cere-
bral 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.’’

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 servi-
ces and health Zahid Badroodien said the upside is that the tree stock in the nursery increased “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 sixmonth period. This will create jobs for an ad-
ditional 10 Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP ) workers, who will undergo specialised training and development. Sports fields were selected as the primary target, due to the positive change newly planted trees can make to the appearance of many fields that are still in recovery. Planting at the Southfield Sports field started a few weeks ago. The Recreation and Parks Department encourages the public to get involved in taking care of newly planted trees by following these smart watering guidelines: . Deep watering: deep watering prevents

and as a result, cannot be considered,” says Doctor Celeste Nel, director of the Centre for Admission and Residence Placement. “Prospective students are requested to get their applications in rather sooner than later to give themselves some space and time to complete the application that includes uploading the necessary documents and to make changes if necessary.” Nel states that the general reasons for an incomplete application may be that the student did not upload all the necessary documents.
The general application documents include: . proof of payment (R100 non-refundable application fee); . signed contract; . final grade 11 results (currently in final school year) or National Senior Certificate (NSC) (completed final school year). It is also important to note that all students applying for a programme in the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences and Faculty of Law need to write the National Benchmarking Tests (NBTs) by end of June
at the latest. These NBT results will be used for selection purposes. Applicants can also start to apply for financial assistance and the deadline is Saturday 31 August. The university manages more than 19 000 under- and postgraduate bursaries and loans on behalf of companies, individuals and institutions. V Applications can be done online at www.maties.com. Prospective students are invited to contact consultants either by calling 021 808 9111, emailing info@sun.ac.za or doing a live chat at www.maties.com (click on the Let’s Talk feature).

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. PIPPA WILLIAMS Mitchell’s Plain
structure, where the belief in the parties ethos and cause was cemented and cast in stone, i.e that SA belonged to all South Africans regardless of creed or culture and building a new South African society was in the future of all “Born Frees” including good governance, leadership with integrity and standards of anti-corruption Today people join politics because it’s an investment to a great salary, pension, medical aid, travel and many wonderful perks all at the expense of the taxpayer. 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.
