REESPACE is an initiative that encourages the use of public spaces to engage in public discussions, talks and showcases.

This initiative is a project of Instinct, undertaken for the V&A Waterfront, in partnership with Zeitz Mocca and the African Centre for Cities at UCT, with additional support from various donors.

In the Silo Arena, an industrial container that has travelled over 173 809km to various countries in the world has been placed as a platform for engagements.

The container symbolises a bridging point between people and their perspectives on space.

Leszek Dobrovolsky is the

curator of programmes at Instinct says the container has been reused multiple times, thus conceptualising the idea of a container as something that can be used for various things.

“People can also think of public spaces in the same way.Industrial containers have many uses – some people turn them into shops and other people use them for storage. [So] if we think of public spaces in the same manner that people think of these containers, we can actually achieve more,” Dobrovolsky says.

The programme started early this month and will run until Sunday 17 February at the Silo District.

RAIL SAFETY

SO FLY:Dr Hymie

A watchful eye on scrapyards W

ith the focus on curtailing metal theft in the rail environment, the Rail Enforcement Unit (REU) conducted a total of 121 inspections of scrapyards, bucket shops and hotspots this past week.

Arrests were made in the Woodstock, Claremont and Rondebosch areas.

Seven arrests were made for possession of stolen property, malicious damage to property, attempted robbery and theft.

Furthermore, there were 29 confiscations of copper cable (13m), seven units of liquor, four bags, two overalls, one saw, one saw blade and a knife.

Several notices were also issued.

Metrorail Western Cape regional manager Richard Walker says collaboration is a positive step towards restoring the general public’s faith in rail.

“We have seen how crime is displaced from one area to another as soon as we clamp down.

“The areas where the REU’s arrests were

Ehrlich (89), became Fly Cape Town’s oldest client to date when he paraglided from Signal Hill to Sea Point on Sunday morning. Ehrlich, who lives in Sea Point, went paragliding a few years ago when he was 85. “They then told me when I’m 89, I can come for free,” he says.

made this past week are known for antisocial behaviour – a source of concern to both residents and businesses. We remain open to joint initiatives and will engage the Chamber of Commerce and residents’ associations with a view to join the fight against crime,” says Walker.

Mayco member for transport, Felicity Purchase says: “I’m eager to see more commuters returning to rail. The REU’s efforts to curtail metal theft will, over time, resonate in a more stable and reliable rail service which will ensure that this mode of transport becomes the first choice for those who are travelling to and from work.

“A shift from road-based transport to rail will assist to alleviate the congestion on Cape Town’s roads during the peak-hour periods.

“This will have a big influence on our residents’ quality of life because the less time they spend on travelling, the more time they will have with their loved ones,” she says.

ESKOM TARRIFS

‘We need energy justice now’ T

he National Energy Regulator of South Africa (Nersa) has begun a round of continued public hearings on Eskom’s proposed electricity price hike of 15% for 2019, with a projected overall increase of 45% by 2021.

From Monday 14 January, the Southern African Faith Communities’ Environment Institute (SAFCEI) – with faith-based and environmental partners, and the public – presented a variety of compelling arguments at the hearings, oppos-

ing the proposal.

A number of communities were represented, including Mitchell’s Plain, Bellville, Gugulethu and Khayelitsha.

Vainola Makan, SAFCEI’s energy justice coordinator, said: “If granted, this price increase will severely impact all electricity consumers across the country, many of whom already struggle to pay their daily bills. Citizens should not have to suffer energy increases every year. It would be far more re-

sponsible for Eskom to recover the funds it has lost through mismanagement over many years.”

SAFCEI believes that ethical custodianship of the Earth’s resources is essential to sustainable development, and urges Nersa to operate on a value-based system that places the needs of all citizens at the forefront of its agenda.

The NPO further proposes a refocusing of Eskom’s vision, to ensure that it promotes the much-needed shift to clean energy solutions.

Lydia Petersen, another woman from Mitchell’s Plain, who joined with Project 90 by 2030, said: “We are concerned about Eskom’s proposed price increase, because our communities cannot afford it.

There is too much poverty as it is, and yet there are no lifelines for the people. This proposed 15% hike will just throw us into further poverty, which we just cannot afford.

Communities need to stand together against the powers that be, such as Eskom, and let them know that

enough is enough.”

Eastridge community leader Ann October represented pensioners, saying Eskom and Nersa must do something.

“What are you going to do, because our people are suffering and cannot afford another tariff hike?

“After people have paid for electricity and water, which are both already so expensive, they have nothing left. Now people are turning to loan sharks for help, which is not good.

CAPE TOWN CARNIVAL

Come out and play carnival T SAMANTHA LEE @Samantha_Lee121

he Cape Town Carnival will set the scene for glitz and glamour once again as the event returns, celebrating a decade this year.

The event will be held on Saturday 16 March, with the pre-parade starting from 18:00.

The official countdown event was held last Wednesday at Nasdak. This event marked 50 days to the carnival.

Each year, the carnival attracts thousands of spectators who come together to celebrate cultures, history and social cohesion through a display of colour and splendour. “This year’s theme is Vuka Ukhanye: Arise and Shine!, a call to action to shake off limiting beliefs and be all we can be,” said Cape Town Carnival CEO Jay Douwes.

Rachel Jafta, founder of the Carnival and chairperson of the Cape Town Carnival Trust, said: “The Cape Town Carnival was envisaged as a way of bringing people together and building social cohesion, while offering an extraordinary visual and creative feast and a skills development hub for a wide array of skills.”

Jafta continued that the event has since become a global event with people travelling from both other provinces in South Africa and the rest of the world to marvel in the spectacle that is the Cape Town Carnival.

Another part of the carnival is the annual skills transfer project that sees job creation for residents from vulnerable communities in and around Cape Town.

Cape Town Mayor, Dan Plato commented that it was good to see government working together.

“It is a wonderful initiative and it creates opportunities for the communities on the Cape Flats, townships and the city as a

whole. The carnival grows and grows and must continue to grow. As the City of Cape Town, we will do whatever we can to make sure it remains a big part of our events calendar. The carnival brings people from different cultures and diversities together, celebrating all that is Cape Town.We all have a role to play. That is what the theme represents. A call to action for individual and collective engagement to inspire each other and ourselves to not leave it up to someone else.

To not expect the world to take care of itself, but to get involved. With this we are in a position to do so and at the same time, make it fun and beautiful,” said Carnival creative

director Brad Baard.

Baard says the city’s vital social and cultural character is kept alive by creating and supporting social interaction between all Capetonians and through recognition of one another. “Cape Town’s spirit shouldn’t be underestimated – it’s part of the fabric of our society,” he said.

The event featured a panel discussion by role players and sponsors.Award-winning artist and arts curator Khanyisile Mbongwa, who is assisting the Carnival team, said: “Cape Town Carnival occupies a unique space and role, communicating through the language of the carnivalesque, which is a

combination of creativity, exaggeration, colour and spectacle at the intersection of social commentary and celebration. This is really important. We have a difficult history in this country and this city and we cannot do things without asking ourselves serious questions. This year, the carnival asks those questions. The freedom to play, the time to play, and the opportunity to play: these have been politically and socially denied to many South Africans for a long time, making play a political act. Carnival asserts the right to play.

The Carnival provides a vehicle for residents to reclaim the city.”

Depression is real Depression, not all in the mind.

A mother in her thirties came to see me with severe depression and generalised anxiety.

I was quite shocked when she informed me that l diagnosed her with depression at the age of seventeen but her parents refused to accept the diagnosis.

They told her that there was no such thing as depression or anxiety and threw her tablets away.

She never sought professional help for the next 17 years and suffered from her depression and went through two marriages.

She plucked up the courage to see me because her anxiety and depression was

getting the better of her.

She stayed in her room, rarely went out, felt down, lost weight and had no interest in doing pleasurable things.

She was just not enjoying the idea of living.

Depression has many causes. Loss of a job, losing a home, divorce, breakup, major financial loss, unhappy environment at work, school and home, being constantly picked upon at school, home or work, having major illness like heart attacks, strokes, arthritis, cancer are some of the causes.

There are, however, many instances where there is no cause for the depression.

Whatever the reason, depression is a real and debilitating condition that can lead to substance abuse and even suicide if it is not treated.

Unfortunately, many depressed people in the world do not seek professional help out of ignorance or because of a lack of mental facilities.

People with depression perform poorly at work, school, suffer in their marriages and at home and end up having no social life.

Depression and anxiety are highly treatable conditions and treatment is highly rewarding.

Having a mental illness is not something to be ashamed of because mental

illness knows no class, race or age group.

Everyone of us will suffer a bout of depression in our lives at some time or the other.

If we can’t deal with it, we should not hesitate to seek help.

We are extremely fortunate to live in an age when we have a wide array of good and affordable treatments. Our biggest challenge is to overcome the overwhelming ignorance about this treatable condition because of outdated beliefs.

It is time to abandon groundless beliefs about mental ailments and treat them.

We no longer live in the stone ages.

As we conclude the current financial year, I want acknowledge the outstanding work of the Western Cape Department of Social Development on the ‘Families At Risk’ project. This project seeks to address the needs of families by ensuring that the state’s constitutional and statutory obligations, in terms of Section 28 of the Constitution, are fulfilled.

In South Africa, many families experience instability which increases the likelihood of abuse, neglect, criminality and other risky behaviours in children and adults. Major new legislative provisions have been introduced in South Africa, enabling decisive state intervention in families at risk. However, the state is not yet fully utilising these provisions.

In practical terms, this project identifies and refers children and families at risk through schools, clinics, hospitals and Early Childhood Development

(ECDs) centres. It establishes co-operation between the police and local authorities on family law matters including domestic violence, child abuse and neglect, and child crime. It makes provision for court processes, alternative care, adoptions, family mediation and planning, parental rights and responsibilities, parenting skills, marriage counselling, reunification services for children in temporarily alternative care and reunification for homeless adults.

This project has been met with great success. In its first three years of implementation, between 2016/17 and 2018/19, the primary objective was to match the existing legal requirements and the demand for services, whilst prioritising high risk families. Hence, this programme: • Removed 70 children from the streets; • Reduced vacancies in funded Child Youth Care Centres (CYCCs) to 2%; • Cleared court backlogs for child

protection cases; • Implemented case monitoring data tracking in DSD’s performance information systems; and • Reduced the backlog in foster orders requiring extensions.

Projects such as these would not enjoy the success that they have without the support of other key stakeholders. Many aspects of this project are inherently transversal, requiring support from the Children’s Court, the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development, the Office of the Family Advocate, and the Departments of Health and Education. Clearly, we cannot begin to address the many social ills in our country without the by-in of these stakeholders.

Under my leadership, the Western Cape Department of Social Development will continue to work Better Together and address the plight of families at risk to restore tranquillity and calm to those most vulnerable.

Varsity Cup countdown W

ith the FNB Varsity Cup only a week away, the tournament sees new skippers taking the reins of their sides, hoping to take the title.

The tournament kicks off with the newly promoted UWC taking on UCT in the battle for Cape Town, while Maties’ first game will be against Johannesburg challengers Wits at the Danie Craven Stadium.UJ will take on last year’s finalists NWU at the UJ Stadium in Johannesburg. CUT, which narrowly escaped relegation last year, will journey to the capital to take on UP-Tuks, with the Stripe Generation looking to start with a bang after a disappointing 2018 campaign.Local varsities will be captained by Kuyenzeka Nama Xaba (UCT), Adrian Paarwater (UWC) and Johan Momsen (Maties).

Maties were near-invincible last

season, going undefeated and only drawing two games, to Wits and NWU respectively. Defending champions’ captain Johan Momsen is very relaxed going into the season with his current charges, despite the giant shoes to fill.

“We don’t really experience the status as defending champions as pressure. We have the experience with many of the players from last year still in the squad and even some of the young guns who also won their title in our team. So we have players that know how to win.”

Momsen, who replaces Niel “Chippy” Oelofse, trusts in his side’s structures and coach going into the new season.

“We will trust the process like we did last year and even though we haven’t made big changes, Coach Hawies (Fourie) believes in changing before the need to

change. The players have been working hard all pre-season and they look strong and fit. The vibe is awesome, and it is great to be part of the squad.”

UCT Ikeys’ new skipper Nama Xaba is grateful for the opportunity to lead the Cape Town side and wants to do justice to UCT’s Varsity Cup legacy.

“I must say that I am very grateful to the Lord for giving me such a task, and just thankful for the belief from UCT Ikeys, to give me such a prestigious responsibility.

“I think any person would be nervous for what lies ahead but it’s certainly not fear – it’s more about feeling overwhelmed by the legacy set before us in this club and having to leave it in a better place. I also feel that there’s so many leaders in this club that have been and are continually supporting me which makes things easier.”

The loose forward is confident going into the new season because of the strong experience and calibre of the players around him.

“We have pretty much had the same spine with regard to the team for these past two seasons, so there’s calmness and experience in

the side and we really feel that this is the year that we’ll click the best and play UCT rugby.”
