P
erformers from Masiphumelele, Lavender Hill, Durbanville and across Cape Town took to the stage on Friday 21 June, to showcase their talents at the Artscape Theatre. Brought together by entertainment industry heavyweights and the creators of Mzansi Cultural Industries (MCI) Vicky Sampson, Gabi Le Roux and Nini Schlechter, the show titled Mzansi … Many Roots, One Tree certainly impressed the audiences who attend-
ed the production. MCI was created by the trio to seek untapped talents and bring their passion for performing to stages where the world would be able to see them. One such performer is Masiphumelele’s Real Tau, who rapped for the crowd on the night. Talking about the path that led him to performing, he said: “Life is never easy in our townships. I am living in a community that is suffering due to alcohol and drugs. My challenge is to fight them, because they are nothing but destroying our people. I’ve been fighting drugs and alcohol through my
musical journey. (With) Most of my concepts in my songs, I am teaching people to walk away from things like drug abuse, alcohol and crime,” he continued. Durbanville’s Sydney Chanel Welgemoed (11) said that the opportunity afforded to her by MCI is one that will allow her to grow in her art. “I’m still young and finding my flow. I learn new things each day and have met so many new, awesome people on this journey,” she said. The show came together without a hitch and organisers gave thanks to all at the end of the performances.
“This (production) is not just (the work of) these people who are standing up here in front – it was a real, real team effort,” said Le Roux, adding that there were numerous organisations who assisted with funding and donations to make the show possible. He also thanked the families of all the crew and performers who over the past few months have not seen much of their loved ones who were rehearsing tirelessly. Sampson ended the show by performing her new song, composed by Schlechter, One Land, One Cry. V See more on page 2.

FISH HOEK
Automated shark spotter in development RACINE EDWARDES @RaeEdwardes
T
here is something out at sea – but it’s not what you think ... The Shark Spotters, in association with the Institute for Communities and Wildlife in Africa at the University of Cape Town and PatternLab SaRL, have launched a new research project to assist the human spotters to better spot sharks and reduce bites. Ward 64 councillor Aimee Kuhl commended the Shark Spotters on their ability to bring visitors into the Fish Hoek area, as a result of the safety they provide. “Don’t underestimate the power of the shark nets. Parents would rather bring their children to this beach because of the nets.” The spotters made use of human spotters for about 15 years, and shark nets, and have recently decided that with the help of the technologies at PattternLab SaRL, to begin research on an automated shark spotting camera system that is currently being developed to more accurately detect sharks entering the area. The research project kicked off in February and is expected to continue until July or August 2020, until such time that the system can accurately detect sharks, alert the spotters and reduce the number of incidents that take place on beaches – which is already very low. The number of shark sightings can be very unpredictable. Sarah Warries, chief executive officer (CEO) at Shark Spotters, said that the previous average was 170, with that number dropping to only 70 last year in the areas where the spotters operate. With no guarantee of when sharks could be spotted, the collaborators have created
a decoy shark to assist the system in the development of its shark spotting algorithm. The decoy is attached to a Shark Spotters boat and towed behind it to allow the camera system to collect data. Swimmers need not worry about this operation affecting their time in the ocean, Warries confirms. “It’s just a plastic shark. It has no effect on the bathers. The decoy shark is deployed
within the bay but not where the swimmers are.” She also says that the spotters are very happy with the progress of the project. “It’s gone really well so far. We have finished the first phase of the research and we are currently doing analysis of the data we’ve collected.” Currently, operations are being carried out in Fish Hoek while bathers are swim-
ming, unaware. “They may see the boat but they won’t see the decoy shark,” Warries says. Marian Nieuwoudt, Mayco member for spatial planning and environment, said in a statement: “We are excited by the new possibilities that this automated shark spotting research project presents and hope it will result in a system that enhances shark safety at many more beaches in the Cape metropole.” Funded by the EUROSTARS programme, an international scheme supporting innovative projects, the project will soon make beaches even safer for swimmers.

Man dies in a train accident RIAAN GROBLER A man’s body was split in two when he stepped into the railway tracks near the old Clovelly train station in Fish Hoek on Wednesday 19 June. Metrorail spokesperson Riana Scott a 45-year-old man stepped in front of the train at 13:50. “The circumstances of the incident (are) consistent with suicide and Fish Hoek police opened an inquest docket to
investigate such,” Scott told News24. A warrant officer based at the Fish Hoek Police Station confirmed the incident but told News24 he could not divulge any information. “An inquest docket has been opened and we are still trying to get hold of the man’s family,” he said. Western Cape police spokesperson Sergeant Noloyiso Rwexana also confirmed the incident, saying police are investigating.
Instant karma for robber RACINE EDWARDES @RaeEdwardes A man who attempted to break into a residence was mauled in the face by a dog as he tried to flee the scene. The incident took place in Lekkerwater Road in Sunnydale on Thursday 30 May at about 21:10. Sergeant Leon Fortuin, spokesperson for Ocean View police, confirmed that the complainant had locked and armed her home at about 20:45 on the night the break-in took place. The complainant told police that she heard sounds coming from the roof of her upstairs room and assumed it was ducks, but later realised that the sounds she was hearing were in fact footsteps. She then locked herself and her son in a
room and activated the panic button. She said that she could hear things being moved in the house. Her landlord had made his way outside the residence after he was alerted that something was going on, and was then able to apprehend the suspect who had jumped out of the window, injured himself on landing and was bitten by the tenant’s dog. He was taken to the hospital after sustaining his injuries and released under police custody on Tuesday 4 June. At the time of the house robbery, he was wanted on three cases in Ocean View: attempted murder, house-breaking and theft. The suspect’s bail in the case, which was headed by investigating officer detective Constable Mthetheli Moni, was opposed by the state and he is currently in jail.
The body of a 28-year-old man was discovered in Ocean View on Youth Day.

rygrond residents and Where Rainbows Meet Training and Development Foundation shut down Vrygrond Avenue on Monday 17 June and held a festival to celebrate local talents for Youth Day. With Youth Day falling on Sunday 16 June, this year, the foundation saw the public holiday, Monday 17 June as the perfect opportunity to get the community together to celebrate by showcasing their talents. “People from various areas attended, participated and assisted us in performing arts such as dancing, singing, storytelling, poetry as well as motivational talks in regards to the importance of this day – to inspire, motivate and encourage one another to continue bringing about positive social changes for a better and brighter future,” says Kyle Cupido, project manager at the foundation. All members at the foundation were elated at the response from the community. “I can’t say how many people were there, but judging from the number of chips we handed out, it could have been about 500 people.” He continued: “It was a great event, the crowd was huge, people were very receptive and it was supported well by the community.”
Working together The day-long event was the culmination of a collaboration between the community and a number of organisations which included Projects Abroad SA, the world’s largest international volunteering and internship provider. Cupido explains that a number of volunteers from the organisation made their way

Deadline looms for applicants P
rospective Stellenbosch University (US) students have until Sunday 30 June to get their applications in if they want to study at the university. Maties, as it is affectionately known, is often rated as one of the top three universities in South Africa according to various international university rankings. The university also has one of the highest first-year throughput rates in South Africa with more than 85% of the students annually going forward to their second year of studies. “We are very excited about the number and quality of applications for 2020, proving
that US is a first choice university. We are, however, still concerned about the more than 8000 applications that are incomplete 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 stu-
dent did not upload all the necessary documents. Full details are available at www.maties.com. 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).

Beautifying the area with trees L
earners and parents of Kommetjie Primary School came together to breathe life into the area on Saturday 8 June. The initiative saw these residents come out in numbers to plant over 100 trees and a variety of plants to kick off the Re-Tree Project and stabilise the Neighbourhood Farm Outdoor Classroom. The project was initiated by Karen TaylorVermaak, Maggie Joubert and Eugene Bosini – residents of Kommetjie and parents of learners at the school – in response to the recent drought and mitigation of the effects of climate change. “The aim of the Re-Tree Project is to encourage families to leave a growing legacy in the form of a tree that will provide longlasting benefits for both current and future children, the school and the general community of Kommetjie,” Taylor-Vermaak explained. According to Joubert, the project aims to benefit the environment through the planting of trees, which are well documented to help offset the excess of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. She continued: “They attract birds, insects and wildlife. They stabilise and enrich

the soil to prevent further erosion and loss of nutrients, and facilitate new plant growth. “For our children, these trees provide shade and shelter during hot summers and rainy winters and offer windbreak for the tennis court and soccer fields as well as a pleasing aesthetic throughout the year.” Taylor-Vermaak explained that their vision is to beautify their community and establish Kommetjie Primary School as a green landmark to be proud of. She attributed the success of the project thus far to all those who had a hand in it. “Thanks to the support and enthusiasm of our little community school,” she said. Taylor-Vermaak concluded by saying: “A huge thank you to all the people and businesses who donated trees, plants and time. In particular Bonnie van Ginkel, Induli Nurseries, Bob Thompson, Eugene Bosini from Greenbos, Harry Goemans, Shaun Skelton, Janine Nichols, Chris Vermaak, The Slyper, The Radcliffe Family, The Neighbourhood Farm and Maurice Joubert.” All contributors are confident that this initiative is sure to bear fruit in the very near future.

EDUCATION
Programmes to help learners T
o prevent learners who will be mostly unsupervised during the holidays from becoming involved in negative anti-social behaviour, the Western Cape Education Department (WCED) has prepared some holiday programmes. This was announced in statement by provincial minister for education Debbie Schäfer on Thursday 13 June. According to Schäfer the programmes will include school holiday activities for all grades and for grade 12s. In the statement she gave the following highlights: . Safe Schools Holiday Programme: The aim of the Safe Schools Holiday Programme includes providing constructive activities for children while also protecting schools by ensuring that they are visibly utilised during this period. The programmes are aimed at keeping children positively engaged, entertained and safe, especially in areas where they are at a greater risk of exposure to substance abuse, drugs, violence and gangsterism. Each district organises programmes according to the perceived need. Educational programmes on offer cover topics such as peer-pressure, moral values, substance abuse, HIV/Aids and sexual abuse. Other important topics covered are truancy, gangsterism and bullying as well as career guidance. A special programme has also been designed, which addresses sexual abuse, gender inequality and gender based violence. Fun activities include hiking, kayaking, board games, arts and crafts as well as drama and dance classes. A number of stakeholders have come on board to assist with the various educational and fun activities. The programme includes various government departments and NGOs, the City of Cape Town, Metro Police and the South African Police Service. Parents can contact their child’s school or their nearest district office for more information on the Safe Schools Holiday Programme. . Grade 12 Winter Holiday Programme: Providing curriculum support to Grade 12 learners is always a priority, particularly in schools where learners are struggling in specific subjects. For the holidays, the WCED has orga-
nised holiday study programmes at a number of high schools. The “winter schools” aim to assist learners in high enrolment subjects. These subjects include mathematics, physical science, geography, life sciences, accounting and economics. Many of the programmes on offer will be taught by tutors selected by the WCED. In some schools, curriculum advisors will be supporting and assisting individual school programmes. Additional resource materials have been developed to complement the lessons being presented.The dates of each school’s programme differ. Some schools have offered programmes on specific days, while others, throughout the holiday period. Parents can contact their child’s school or their nearest district office for more information on the Grade 12 holiday programme . School Safety: In order to protect schools, as far as possible, from burglary and vandalism over the holiday period, the WCED’s Safe Schools directorate has arranged increased security at some of the identified high-risk schools. They also ask every resident to help safeguard their schools by reporting any suspicious behaviour in and around schools to the police immediately. While they are pleased that they have been able to offer safe school programmes at schools across the province, they cannot compensate for the role that responsible, committed parents must play in the lives of their children. That is the bedrock of a functional society and Western Cape Government calls on parents to take responsibility for their children’s safety during the school holiday period and ensure they are kept off the streets and away from alcohol, drugs and gangs. . Teacher Development and Training: Ongoing training and professional development of teachers remains a priority for government. Therefore, this holiday period, the Cape Teaching and Leadership Institute (CTLI) is running a number of teacher training and development programmes throughout the winter holidays. “I wish to take this opportunity to wish all our educators and learners a pleasant and safe holiday and we hope they return refreshed and ready to tackle the second half of the school year,” she concluded.

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 excit-
ed 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 Secretary 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 intimate depictions of a young slave woman, known as Theresa, nursing the infant of her master, Jacob van Reenen, and of a woman dressed in the regal sheep skin cloak and beaded adornment of a Khoi chieftainess. The paintings reflect Barnard’s keen interest in the indigenous people, servants and slaves around her and reveal empathy absent from most other recorders of her times. The works are accompanied by unique documentary provenance and have been in the possession of the descendants of Barnard from 1966. They are offered for the first time Lady Anne Barnard’s Black Madonna will also be on in over 50 years with a handwritten auction. letter from Barnard to Henry Dun-
Irma Stern’s Arab Dhows will be going under the hammer. das in 1801. Each painting goes on auction with an estimated value of R50 000 to R80 000. “These two watercolours by Lady Anne represent not just rare works of art never seen on the market, but a potential archive of marginalised stories yet untapped, untold and unwritten,” says Randle.
Blue Heads Two works by Gerard Sekoto (1913 - 1993) will be on the auction, perhaps the most striking being his Head of an African Woman 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 walkabout with Anton Welz will be on Saturday 29 June at 11:00. V For more information, visit www.stephanwelzandco.co.za or contact 021 794 6461 or e-mail stephanwelz@stephanwelzandco.co.za.
Municipal sports facilities made a bit greener City 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 sixmonth 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 many fields that are still in recovery. Planting at the Southfield Sports field started a few weeks ago. “We celebrate the department being able to plant trees again. The value of trees cannot be underestimated, as it offers a myriad of social and environmental benefits. The City, therefore, calls on all residents to help preserve these precious assets, and to support tree planting while remaining mindful of our limited water resources,” said Badroodien. 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 weak surface roots from forming and encourages the growth of robust roots underground. . Check soil moisture: soil should be moist but not wet. . Conserve water while preserving trees: make provision for watering trees during water restrictions, by conserving water in other areas of your home and garden. . Watch out for signs of drought stress: check for leaves wilting, yellowing, curling or browning at the edges . Use mulch to help conserve moisture: cover the soil with a three to five-inch layer of mulch. . Use safe pesticides: stick to organic, environmentally friendly pesticides . Be mindful of the water-scarce region: the city is currently on level 3b water “recovery” restrictions V Read more about level 3b water “recovery” restrictions on http://www.capetown.gov.za/thinkwater

EDUCATION
Programme for exam readiness W
ith 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 in-
tensive 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.
Call to assist NPOs 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 those in need would only be effective if the Department of Social Development (DSD) and the public work in partnership with NPOs. She says the DSD works closely with other departments and municipalities to ensure there is an appropriate response to disaster situations. According to Fernandez, the department currently funds 27 shelters for homeless adults across the province, with a total of just under 1500 bed spaces.
These preparations come shortly after recent heavy rains and cold weather setting in the province. Fernandez 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.

Clients passed out drunk Thank you to the two owners of Pick n Pay Fish Hoek for the disservice you have done to the community, which since neither of you reside in the area, will of course not affect you in the least. It was wonderful to see how the promised little boutique, job-creating liquor store could just be changed after the fact, doubling in size, now swallowing up two shops, who The Arcade’s management, of course, had no problem emptying out for the big guy, and costing a whole lot more people their jobs, than the few that will now staff the liquor shop. The boutique of course also simply got lost along the way, to become just another full all liquor outlet, as per your licence. Just as laughable is the enormous current short week and early times trading hours prominently displayed on the shop front as a softening blow, while the application for extended seven days
of the week trading, including extended trading hours till 20:00 has already been applied and paid for, which will then, like the shop’s size just suddenly change overnight, without the need for local input. It was also very uplifting to see, how this same quaint little shop that was billed to, in no possible way have any negative impact to the area, on the very day it opened its doors, already had some of their clients passed out drunk with empty bottles next to them on the steps of the Post Office in the Main Road. And of course, as expected more liquor trading applications from other interested parties, are now starting to roll in, with Shoprite and another shop in the Main Road having already applied, and at the very least Woolworths and Spar still to follow as well. Wonderful days ahead for all. HANNO KLOPPERS Fish Hoek
Is SONA more about fashion? 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
Voters expect leadership with integrity 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
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.

Fish Hoek no longer a ‘dry’ town After 200 years a precious tradition which made Fish Hoek unique in South Africa has been torn down thanks to the efforts of Pick n Pay. It is a sad day to see the bright lights and ‘SALE’ signs proclaiming that Fish Hoek is no longer a ‘DRY’ town, but has now joined all the other towns and cities in having liquor on sale. I am sure the profits will increase, but I will never set foot in your shop again. I have not done so since you started on your campaign and I think you would be surprised if you knew how many people feel the same sense of disappointment as I. You won’t feel the loss of my purchases. It won’t affect you a bit, but you have spoiled something in our village which was very precious to many people – a sense of pride in not pandering to the demands of the liquor trade. You, and the judge, obviously felt that ‘It is obvious that Fish Hoek needs a bottle store’. We do not need one, but now the floodgates are open and many bottle stores will be opening up in our village. Shame on you for destroying something special which can never be regained! JOAN MOORE Fish Hoek 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.

More bottle stores in Fish Hoek? I believe that there are many people in Fish Hoek who would like to lodge an objection to the application that has been made by Shoprite Checkers for a bottle store licence here in Fish Hoek but are uncertain how to go about doing so. I am willing to assist anyone wishing to do so and all I ask is that they send me an email at dryfishhoek@gmail.com or call me on 021 782 0343. Of course there would be no cost associated with my giving this assistance, I simply want to make sure that people who do not want another bottle store in Fish Hoek take the opportunity that the public participation process offers of placing their views on record at the Liquor Licencing Authority. The premises where Shoprite want to place the bottle store is at the shops in Triangle Court (corner of Dunster and First Ave). DONALD MOORE Fish Hoek

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.

Calling all street dancers Red Bull is calling street dancers to take part in this year’s Red Bull Dance Your Style which will take place at the Fire & Ice Hotel Launch Pad on Sunday 30 June. The competition will be a mixed, all-style solo battle in which dancers from any street style discipline will compete against each other. Each battle will be an exchange of the diverse and different number of styles that exist in street dance and the audience will get to see breaking, hip-hop, popping,
house, locking and other street dance styles. Sustaining the novelty of the competition, they will have no professional judges in sight. Instead, the audience will serve as the final arbiter, meaning that dancers who show off the coolest steps in interaction with rhythm, lyrics and instruments, and manage to wow the crowd to win their vote, will become a crowned winner. The event will run from 12:00 to 17:00. V For more information visit www.redbull.com.

A few need-to-knows . To ensure your throat is wet and stomach filled following all those dance
moves, be sure to visit the two foodtrucks and three cashbars inside the venue. Remember to bring along some cash since only some of these will have card facilities. . If you need to take a breather between your two-stepping, there will be ample seating provided. . On the subject of feet, ladies, while you may feel the urge to make a fashion statement in those stunning stiletoes, rather opt for something that will have you comfortably dancing well into the next morning. You’ll look just as great in a pair of kicks. . While security will be prominent at the event, some opportunists are willing to pay for their long fingers to make an even bigger profit, so ladies pack light. Leave those handbags at home and rather dance along with a trendy small slingbag that you can keep safely with you. Just play safe and make sure not to hit your neighbour on the dancefloor. Not a lady or dont have a small bag, opt for a jacket with zip-pockets instead. . And finally, the most important tip of all, get those tickets and come have a blast with us. We are looking forward to seeing and learning those dance moves.

RED CROSS CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL
A call to help raise funds 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.
Doctor Anita Parbhoo, medical manager at Red Cross and Noor Osman, WCCPA chairperson, unveiling the plaque honouring founder of the Cerebral Palsy Clinic.
A tribute to a pioneer The 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.
Decades of hardwork In 1968 Arens, with Doctor Gladys Beinhart, started the WCCPA Cerebral Palsy Clinic at Red Cross, at a time when Devel-
opmental 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.’’
The ribbon wrapped around Red Cross to garner funds for the emergency centre.

Sailing students get recognition AVRIL FILLIES
grow in leaps and bounds. Assisted by experienced skippers, Menelisi Mkhize and Thomas Attwood, the students are taken through all aspects of keelboat sailing, from boat maintenance and anti-fouling, theory and “rules of the road” to practical sailing skills. “Last year the class has grown to over 30 students in a relatively short period of time,” says Oberholzer, “and the boundless enthusiasm and dedication shown by each and every one of them is tremendously rewarding”. This year their achievements were recognised at the FBYC’s annual prize giving. Certificates were awarded for completing the year’s training and special awards were made to: .
