GRASSY PARK

Cleaning out from within EARL HAUPT @EarlHaupt

A

new broom sweeps clean.

This is the approach recently appointed station commander of Grassy Park Police Station, Colonel Dawood Laing, hopes to adopt as he embarks on his tenure after his appointment.

The former head of Visible Policing at Philippi Police Station was appointed to the role of commander-in-chief at Grassy Park Police Station at the end of last year, but has already asserted his authority on the branch.

“Unfortunately, the first three months at the station I will only focus on our internal challenges at the station, because there was a problem with the structure of the station.

There were problems with responsibility and accountability. I am not going to make any excuses for that. I hope that in this threemonth period I will definitely be able to keep everybody accountable,” he said.

Laing also pointed out that this had led to the community’s continued distrust in the police, which resulted in the low morale of the officers at Grassy Park Police Station.

“Prior to me being here, accountability was a problem. Nobody really did checks and balances. The first day that I came here I addressed domestic violence, which is a na-

tional issue and that was in total chaos here in Grassy Park. After five days that I was here I even read a previous complaint about domestic violence that I did not even know about,” said Laing.

Missing people is also a challenge his new station faces outside the issues of gang violence, which continue to plague various communities throughout the Cape Flats.

“We are lacking role models in our area.

Children see gangsters driving new cars, living in a new house, and then they believe that it is an easy way to get rich, but they don’t realise the dangers,” he said.

He believes the cycle of addiction needs to be broken, by dealing not with the symptoms, but with the causes of the symptomatic decay of communities brought about by drugs.

“The challenge is that there are lots of rehabilitation centres which are not accessible to all our communities, especially on the Cape Flats. If you go to a rehab centre, it can cost you more than R30 000 – what family in the Cape Flats area can afford that? Secondly, the programme that is in place addresses the flowers of the thing, but the roots are not being addressed,” he said.

Laing sympathises with the community’s dismay when they report crime, in that the alleged criminals are arrested, but then reappear in their neighbourhoods in a matter

of days.

“Government has a role to play to educate our communities better. The justice system is a very challenging system. We have very long court rolls and minor offences are not being addressed. If people get away with minor offences, it then escalates to bigger offences,” said Laing.

One of the first responsibilities with which he has tasked his officers and detectives is for them to adopt one of the 24 schools in Grassy Park, with Laing taking it upon himself to deal with what the police have identified as the most problematic school in the area.

“A lot of the time, when children are being abused, they might not trust their relatives and might not trust the teacher, but if I as a police officer go to the school and speak out against those things, those children might come forward to us,” he said.

Laing hopes to adopt a holistic approach where all stakeholders become actively involved together.

“We must just be stronger than them (the gangs). If we have a holistic approach – with neighbourhood watches, community and state departments – we will be able to reduce any crime obstacles in Grassy Park. Grassy Park has less than 5000 people who commit offences, but there are 80 000 to 90 000 living here. I would love all the community organi-

If you are an organisation representing the LGBTQI community, which is currently not in place, then you can educate the rest of the organisations about how to treat them and how to behave, even the police,” added Laing.

During his time away from duty, Laing enjoys hiking, fishing, cycling and motorcycling.

“Life inspires me as well as my religion.

I have only reverted for eight years. It is not common for a white person that comes from the farm to be a Muslim, but when I became a Muslim, I did not do it for anything or any person. People normally change religion to gain something. I just appreciated what people did for me in religion, the way we live, because being a Muslim is not a religion, it is a way of life.

“My focus on life – I am positive. I believe that if I can change one or two people’s lives in a year, I have earned my salary and government has spent their money well. Those people I may have changed is not because of me, but they will become better people for themselves. Better fathers, better mothers, better brothers, better sisters. They will be infectious in their homes.”

Have your say on licence fee increase The Provincial Government Gazette has published the draft regulation pertaining to motor vehicle licence (MVL) fee increases in the province. The draft regulation is open for public comment until Friday 8 February.

It has been published to allow the more than two million vehicle owners in the Western Cape an opportunity to submit their comments.

This year, the proposed fee increases amount to an average 3% for the Western Cape, a figure well below inflation.

The Western Cape Provincial Government relies on vehicle licence fees to: . build, upgrade and maintain the provincially owned road network. . assist municipalities to fund the maintenance of their more strategic roads. . continue to reduce the maintenance

backlog, which has been decreased by over 16% over the last seven years.

According to the government these fees, along with budgetary allocations, help keep the province’s roads in a good condition.

During the 2017/18 financial year 94.8% of vehicle kilometres travelled on surfaced roads were travelled on roads in fair or very good condition. In the same period 63 080m2 of surfaced roads were upgraded, 915 772m2 of surfaced roads were rehabilitated, 45 997km of gravel roads were bladed and 22km of gravel roads were upgraded to surfaced roads. This is in addition to the construction or upgrading of six bridges and 76 culverts. Roads are an asset with an approximate value of R68bn and they are consumed, over time, by the close to two million vehicle owners in the Western Cape and other users

A total of 7019km of provincial roads are in a fair to very good condition, says the provincial government.

The draft regulation has been published in the Provincial Gazette Extraordinary 8027 dated Wednesday 9 January for public comment.

Any person or organisation wishing to comment on these draft regulations is requested to lodge such comments on or before Friday 8 February by by emailing it to Shaldon.LeRoux@westerncape.gov.za, faxing it to 021 483 2357, or posting it to: The Head of Department Attention: Mr SJ le Roux Western Cape Department of Transport and Public Works PO Box 2603 Cape Town, 8000

T

he scourge of dumping is a major concern for communities throughout Cape Town, with mayor Dan Plato addressing the issue during a full sitting of council on Thursday.

“We need our communities to report the criminals who are making their communities dirty, unsafe and unsightly. And while our councillors know this number very well, let me remind the public of the contact number now: 021 480 7700. I want everybody in Cape Town to know that number and to use it to report problems in their neighbourhoods,” Plato said.

There are 26 drop-off sites across the city for garden refuse, builder’s rubble and any other items that don’t fit into wheelie bins.

Anyone found to be dumping illegally will be fined between R5 000 and R15 000; and if caught dumping from a vehicle, the City will impound that vehicle too. “If they want to get their vehicle back it’s going to cost them another R8 400, so go ahead. If you think R23 400 is worth your dumping then we will take your money, put it back into delivering services, and you will still have to cleanup your mess and take it to where it should be dumped,” Plato added.

The City has also allocated another R115m towards cleaning up communities. . R56m for additional cleaning of informal settlements . R14m to recruit EPWP workers for community cleanups . R20m for the Area Cleaning Division in the Solid Waste Management Department in poorer areas . R25m for the Recreation and Parks Department for grass cutting and maintenance across all wards.

“People who are dumping and littering illegally should be ashamed. They are not only showing complete disregard for our bylaws, they are making us spend money that could have been spent elsewhere; and, most importantly, they are showing a massive disrespect for their own communities.It is well established how grime can lead to crime, which is why we have placed such a big focus on cleaning up our communities,” said Plato.

Meanwhile, ward councillor for central Grassy Park, Shanen Rossouw, has already eyed plans for a solid waste drive.“The drive will be soon. I am compiling all the stakeholders, where we have the environmental officials, collections, the grab-atruck people, the solid waste cleansing and law enforcement here. As a subcouncil, to-

gether is what I suggest is that each ward do the drive on the same day. We will send out flyers into the community and ask them to bring whatever tools they have and as a community, in each ward, like I have 22 illegal dumping hotspots in my ward, which is a lot,” she said.

She also said she will put forward a proposal to council for the City’s Solid Waste Management Department to visit the worst affected areas twice a week.“Maybe that can resolve some of the problems, but it won’t resolve all of the problems. We are straining the resources already with the cleaning now. If you clean a dumping zone now, within five minutes people come and dump. I experienced this myself. We rather do that and have these awareness campaigns and take a no-nonsense approach,” she said.

“A big challenge in our wards is the scrapyards in people’s backyards. We cannot just take it away, it is also their bread and butter, their business. [It is to] the frustration and detriment of the community, but we can’t just say we want to stop that, we don’t want that anymore and we are going to deal with you. You need to give them an alternate space. I am looking for a space where they can come and sort out whatever they want and recycle. That is all the things we need to put in place.” she said.

Grade 8 and 9 learners at Fairmount High School in Grassy Park were taught how to make their own sandwiches last week.

T

he latest step in turning Fairmount High School from a place at the mercy of systematic underachievement into a flourishing centre for change took place last week.

The duo from Business Network International (BNI), Malcolm Lips and Sharon Constable, have adopted the school with a longterm view to create an area which can produce agents for change.

They have previously helped out with the school’s library (“Reigniting change”, People’s Post, 7 August 2018) while also introducing the children to marine conservation (“Fairmount supports beach cleanup”, People’s Post, 18 September 2018).

“For us the school is about giving hope and building community with our Parkwood and Lotus River families. With BNI, they have started with the library. They have assisted with the toilets and electricity and then also they have put us into contact with various businesses who can assist the school. The marching band has benefited; the hiking club and environmental club have benefited,” said Fairmount principal Terrence Klassen.

The beach cleanups, through Sea the Bigger Picture, have been such a success that learners have been introduced to diving to which, without the programme, they would not have been exposed. “We had an assembly where they brought in the guys from Sea the Bigger Picture to chat to the learners about conservation, specifically marine conservation and how the learners can get

involved. That has sparked so many of the learners to come back and ask how they can get involved with marine ecology – so much so that we have learners diving and scuba diving. It is a step-by-step process that we have embarked on and we understand that it is a long-term process. The ultimate goal is to make sure we have a functional library, our children are fed, that the children are happy when they come to school, they want to be here and in that way we can make a difference in their lives to give them a sense of purpose and hope,” said Klassen.

Klassen welcomed Lips and Constable back on Thursday 31 January when they conducted a lesson with the Grade 8 and Grade 9 classes where sandwiches were made with the help of the children themselves, instead of merely being donated.

“They have identified that the kids are hungry at school and despite our school having a feeding scheme, we cannot cover all the children. It is also just a matter of getting them into the whole swing of getting them involved with the school as well as the learners so they can see people are giving back and how to inculcate into the students the idea of volunteerism,” said Klassen.

Constable added that the value of nutrition should not be underestimated, especially as a number of learners at the school come to school hungry, while also reminding the school of their commitment.

“We are working on sponsorship for them. This is just to make the children aware that we are their partners, fully on board, and we are not just a flash in the pan.

We continually will be there to support

them and help where we can. We are also here to make the community and business owners aware that we need ingredients, we need bread – even if it is just jam and butter to give the children each and every day,” she said.

Grade 9 learner Kurt Klaasen was grateful for the sought-after lesson.

“I am learning obedience, manners and how to make a sandwich. I feel happy. If I see food then I am happy. I will try to help other people as well. Give them food, make them sandwiches and share,” he said.

Klaasen’s classmate, Ameera Fredericks, also had fun “I learned that sharing can be fun if you just try. I learned that having a sandwich together kept the class from arguing, it kept us all together, peaceful in the moment and everyone was happy. Thank you to everyone who contributed,” she said.

Meanwhile, Constable highlighted a few plans in the works for the school in the long term.

“There are quite a few projects, like we are still in need of books and instruments for the marching band. We are trying to start an actual instrumental band at the school as well. We have sourced some instructors who will come to deliver instruction to the kids, but most importantly we hope to have the school covered in wi-fi, so that is a big project. We are doing little by little, so any sponsorship is welcome,” she said.

CRIME WRAP V Grassy Park: Grassy Park police are seeking the public’s assistance in locating the whereabouts of 17-year-old Keeshia Williams. Keeshia was last seen in Grassy Park on Monday 28 January wearing her school uniform (maroon school dress and jersey).

She has dark brown eyes, short brown frizzy hair and is 1.7m tall. She lives with her guardian in Mile End Road, Diep River. Please call Detective-Constable Avril Abrahams on 021 700 3940 or 061 218 6556 with any information that will lead to Keeshia being found.

Anyone with information on crime can call Crime Stop on 08600 10111.

All information will be treated as highly confidential.

V New Horizon: Grassy Park police conducted a crime prevention operation in the area recently.

Dubbed “Operation Clampdown”, Grassy Park police spokesperson, Captain Wynita Kleinsmith, said criminals in the area received a surprise element during last week’s operation. “Police units such as Law Enforcement, CPF and the local police formed part of this operation conducted in the Grassy Park precinct. This operation kicked off with Law Enforcement cleaning up the vagrants’ sleeping areas at Busy Corner, the post office and Lewis Stores. Crime hotspots and liquor places were targeted,” said Kleinsmith. Police searched several drug dens and people in Lotus River, Parkwood, New Horizon, Ottery and the broader Grassy Park area, with several arrests made on various charges over the weekend. A 46-year-old man was arrested at an unlicensed premise in Peppershrike Road, New Horizon, after a search warrant was executed and liquor was found on the premises.

The suspect faces a charge of selling liquor without a valid licence. On Monday 28 January, the same residence was searched and the same suspect was arrested on a charge of selling liquor without a valid licence.

V Ottery: Grassy Park police arrested three men between the ages of 48 and 52 in Ottery on Saturday 26 January for transporting and being in possession of excessive amount of liquor without a licence.According to Grassy Park police spokesperson, Captain Wynita Kleinsmith, the men were found with an excessive amount of alcohol in their possession – 1128.080ml with an estimated value of R30000.“The three men will individually face charges of transporting of liquor without a licence,” said Kleinsmith.

V Ottery:A 15-year-old boy was arrested in Stephen Road on Saturday 26 January for the possession of an imitation firearm as well as possession of a dangerous weapon after knives were found in his possession. Grassy Park police spokesperson, Captain Wynita Kleinsmith, said officers chased the suspect after he was spotted running when he saw the marked police van.

V Parkwood: Police arrested two Parkwood men for murder and attempted murder respectively.

Grassy Park police spokesperson, Captain Wynita Kleinsmith, said an 18-year-old suspect was arrested after a 36-year-old man was shot in Blackbird Avenue on Saturday 26 January. The other suspect, aged 27, was arrested after a man, aged 31, died in hospital after being stabbed in the chest by the suspect in Heath Road on Sunday 27 January.

V Pelican Park: A 35-year-old Pelican Park man is facing a charge of publication of child pornography after his wife made a case against him, accusing him of posting naked photos of her minor daughter on Sunday 27 January. The suspect, who is the stepfather of the daughter in question, appeared in the Wynberg Magistrate’s Court on Monday 28 January.Grassy Park Police Station commander, Colonel Dawood Laing, said the police will continue clamping down on crime and the perpetrators thereof.

Police will maintain their zero-tolerance approach in the combatting and investigation of crime.

Strengthening the partnership between the community and the police is high on the agenda as it is contributing to the reduction of crime and the apprehension of perpetrators thereof. He further expressed his gratitude to other Law Enforcement agencies for their constant involvement in the fight against crime, and the community for playing their part in combatting crime. Anyone with information on crime can call the police on 021 700 3940 or Crime Stop on 08600 10111. All information will be treated as highly confidential.

LEARNERSHIP

Ready to learn from the best A

total of 49 new interns started their 12month internship with the City of Cape Town as part of the Urban Sustainability Internship Programme (USIP) for new graduates last Friday.

“The USIP is now in its 13th year and I’m elated to say that 422 interns participated in the programme to date, with 82 of them now working permanently for the City. The first of February is a big day for our new group of interns. They will be placed at different City departments where they will have access to and learn from some of the best professionals in our country. This is a once-in-alifetime opportunity and I’m urging these young graduates to make use of every minute to learn and to gain experience,” says Mayco member for corporate services, Sharon Cottle.

The City is funding the interns’ stipends, capacity-building training programme, recruitment and induction.

The majority of the interns will be placed within the scarce skills categories such as economics, engineering, environment, heritage, renewable energy, urban design, landscaping, planning, surveying and architecture.

“It’s important to promote the scarce skills study fields to young people as these skills are in demand. Finding employment is a challenge in the current economic climate and gaining experience in scarce skills will make it significantly easier for them.

It’s also a great return on investment for the City, which needs their skills and youthful enthusiasm within our ranks where they can assist us in becoming a more efficient and resilient administration,” says Cottle.

Each intern is placed with a specific manager who manages, mentors, guides and assists them.

“The interns may be highly qualified in a specific field, but are typically fresh out of university and often lack practical workplace skills and experience. The interns are assigned specific tasks to ensure job-related training and we have, over the past 13 years, built up an excellent reputation. In fact, companies and organisations consistently confirm how impressed they are with those interns who have completed the internship programme with us,” she says.

Interns are recruited through advertisements on the City’s website and in newspapers, as well as at universities. The City receives on average between 2 000 and 4 000 applications each year. An initial assessment is undertaken to select the top 200 potential

is a solid foundation for their future careers,” says Cottle.

At the end of the 12-month programme, all interns and some of the new intake of interns attend an awards ceremony where the outstanding interns are recognised.

“We honoured the Class of 2018 on Thursday 24 January. I mentioned the importance of on-the-job training at this function, and said that we need more sponsorships from corporates and for other organisations to partner with us to keep this programme going. I’m looking forward to hearing from the private sector – send me an email, or phone me. We need you to partner with us and to invest in the future of Cape Town’s young graduates,” she says.

“Almost 70% of those who complete their internships find employment afterwards, with about 20% being permanently placed at the City. These figures are testimony of the quality of our internship programme. Most of us remember our very first job, and sometimes our first day working for our own salary. We remember the pride and independence, and immense freedom that comes with being able to earn your own way.

SAFETY AND SECURITY

Boost to keep locals safe The City of Cape Town is pulling out all the stops to beef up safety and security initiatives in communities across the city. An additional R165m has been made available to boost efforts against crime within the city.

The funding was announced by mayor Dan Plato during the Council sitting on Thursday last week. The money became available through budget adjustments, said Plato.

He added that the money will increase visible policing in vulnerable communities.

Additional funds will also be made available for much-needed capital projects like fire stations.

“This is just the start of our efforts to increase safety levels in our communities,” he says. “I want to see even more budget allocated to our enforcement agencies and rescue services in the next financial year.”

Plato says the public will have the opportunity to comment on the budget once it has been published in the City’s annual budget next month. He says the R165.2m allocation comprises capital expenditure of R42.2m and operating expenditure of R123m.

Some of the capital projects that will benefit from the allocation include: .R7.5m for the upgrade of the Ndabeni vehicle pound .R2.6m in additional funding for the Somerset West fire sation .R15m to procure between 36 and 40 replacement vehicles, depending on the type of vehicles required .R5.5m for additional two-way radios for Law Enforcement staff The planned operating expenditure includes: .R30m to recruit additional Law Enforcement officers .R10m for uniforms, personal protective gear and equipment for staff .R50m for additional overtime allocation to ensure a more sustained, 24/7 service and R20m to cover related fuel costs

.R8m for repairs and maintenance of vehicles in the various departments .44 new CCTV cameras across the city in vulnerable areas, and a new camera room in Ocean View .Expanding the K9 Unit, thanks to funding from the Western Cape Government “The staff in our Safety and Security Directorate provide an invaluable contribution to safety in our city, in spite of very trying circumstances. In the previous financial year, they contended with an unprecedented increase in land invasions and protest action; worked tirelessly to patrol the streets amid ongoing gang violence; worked nonstop to plan for the potential impact of one of the worst droughts on record as well as an increase in attacks on staff,” adds Plato.

According to Plato during the 2017/18 financial year, the number of arrests made by the City’s enforcement agencies increased by 17% year-on-year, as outlined in the release of the annual statistics.

The number of firearm confiscations increased exponentially, as did the number of screenings for driving under the influence (DUI). There were increases in the amount of liquor confiscated and notices issued for traffic and bylaw offences as well as overloaded vehicles, to mention just a few categories.

Mayco member for safety and security JP Smith said the sheer volume of work that gets done is staggering and he doesn’t think many people fully appreciate it.

“It is also worth noting that the City’s Safety and Security Directorate is likely the most transparent public safety agency in terms of accounting to the public it serves.

I note that a few other metropolitan municipalities have started providing monthly updates on their enforcement statistics – this has been the norm in Cape Town for many years. Our pilot project in Delft with the neighbourhood safety team, which added

some 100 plus officers there every day, has shown good results and we would be in a position to expand this to our other hotspots with this extra budget,” he says.

The Western Cape Government has contributed R3m to bolster the Metro Police K9 Unit.

Plato says: “The Western Cape Government is determined to do everything it can to make this a safer Western Cape. That is why we have made additional funds available to support the City of Cape Town’s professionally staffed Law Enforcement team.

The contribution towards the K9 Unit is intended to help address drug-related crime.

Earlier this year, we transferred almost R4m to the City to support school resource officers. These funds go toward keeping our learners, and their learning spaces, safe from criminals.”

Provincial minister of community safety, Alan Winde, says that despite seven of the top 10 murder precincts being located in Cape Town, including the murder capital of SA, Nyanga, the National Government has refused to give the City enough police.

“In fact, they have gradually withdrawn 4500 cops from our streets over the last four years. I commend the City’s Law Enforcement agencies for the excellent work they do under challenging circumstances to fight crime in our city. They have increasingly stepped up to fill the gap in many areas where SAPS is failing, including gang violence, rail enforcement, liquor enforcement, metal theft and marine enforcement,’’ says Winde.

“We hear the pleas of our communities and we are responding. The people of Cape Town must feel safe, and while police remains the primary law enforcement authority, I want to make sure that, as the City of Cape Town, we play our part in doing everything we can to keep our communities safe,” says Plato.

Be aware of bogus vacancies The South African Police Service (SAPS) wishes to alert interested job seekers to the existence of bogus advertisements purporting to be from the SAPS, recruiting interested people to apply for police trainee intake. The SAPS has received numerous enquiries from passionate South Africans expressing their wish to join as new recruits.“There are NO vacancies for new recruits to join the SAPS at the moment. As soon as an announcement is made in this regard and advertisements have been published on the SAPS website and in print media, we will inform our online communities,” says the SAPS. SAPS wishes to state that advertisements for any posts within its structures are, if and when they become available, placed in a range of newspapers in the country to reach as many potential and suitable candidates as possible. The public should also bear in mind that they can view existing vacancies and obtain the official application forms from the official website of the SAPS (www.saps.gov.za). Only the information that is on this website can be regarded as authentic.SAPS confirms that there are currently NO posts for police trainees and that these ads form part of a scam and should be ignored.The public is urged and advised to be vigilant and not to be misled by any false advertisements or advertising scams and to report these activities to #CrimeStop on 08600 10111 or SMS Crime Line on 32211.

CAPE TOWN CARNIVAL

Splendor and colour awaits SAMANTHA LEE @Samantha_Lee121

F

rom drawings in a workshop to grand creations on the fan walk, the Cape Town Carnival is an event to look forward to this March.

This year the theme “Vuka Ukhanye: Arise and Shine!” was the result of brainstorming sessions between participating groups, organisers and artists from more than 50 neighbourhoods across Cape Town, the organisers of the event say.

“Vuka Ukhanye: Arise and Shine!” was the bold statement that culminated from these creative and fun workshops.

The 2019 theme incorporates everything that the Carnival family feels truly depicts “Vuka Ukhanye: Arise and Shine!”

Cape Town Carnival creative director Brad Baard says: “The parade is a vivid journey of awakening, from sunrise and literally waking up in the morning, to symbolically waking up your own power.”

This year, some of the community organisations involved in bringing the Carnival to life are the Heideveld Theatre Company, Likhwezi Arts Project based in Khayelitsha, and Project Playground based in Langa.

The Cape Town Carnival, held annually in March, is a year-long programme culminating in a street parade that showcases and celebrates the diversity of Cape Town and South Africa. For several hours on a late-summer evening, more than 50 energetic and talented community performance groups, spectacular floats, giant puppets and extravagant costumes bring the Green Point Fan Walk alive, while thousands of spectators from all over the world converge along the 1.2km parade route.This year, the Green Point Fan Walk will come alive with colour and splendour on Saturday 16 March.

This is a free event that attracts thousands of spectators who celebrate the culture, diversity and creativity of the city, encouraging social cohesion.

People’s Post is one of the partners in the event.The sponsors of the 2019 Cape Town Carnival include Multichoice, the City of Cape Town, the National Department of Arts and Culture, the National Lotteries Commission, Kfm, the Western Cape Government, Tsogo Sun, Media24, the Western Cape Tourism, Trade and Investment Agency (Wesgro) among others.

HELPING HAND: Staffers at WP Media, distributors of City Vision, People’s Post and TygerBurger, took time off from their workstations to help those in need. As part of Volunteers24 they made sandwiches last Friday for Village Care Centre in St Barbara Street in Lavender Hill. Village Care Centre is a registered non-profit organisation that runs several programmes for school drop-outs who will often be found in the streets and they also have aftercare programmes. The centre also runs an old age home.

COMPETITION

Zoë talks to us about karaoke BRENDEN RUITER @ruitervaniewind

O

ver the next few weeks, People’s Post sister publication, TygerBurger will speak to a different star of the much-loved TV soapie Suidooster about their karaoke experiences in the lead-up to our karaoke competition.This week we chat with Lauren Joseph who plays Zoë October in the soapie.

Do you sing karaoke?

“Oh yes! I am a karaoke junkie. Any opportunity I get, I go to Manila Bar and sing my heart out, or even at family and social gatherings, everyone knows when it comes to a certain time of the evening, YouTube

streaming comes out to play.”

What is your favourite song?

“My go-to song is always ‘Don’t Stop Believing’ by Journey and anything Coldplay; oh, and let’s not forget ‘Girls Just Wanna Have Fun’ by Cyndi Lauper.”

Have you ever embarrassed yourself?

“I’m not the best singer, hey! One time I went up on stage at Manila Bar and performed ‘The Scientist’ by Coldplay and it required a low note and let’s just say I didnt hit any note. I forgot to mention this song came up directly after Craig Lucas sang something so obviously the crowd went crazy, and after I sang it was just a big no-no,

but I gave it my all and in the end it was a jol.”

Have you ever listened to someone at a karaoke and thought this person belongs on stage?

“Yes, all the time! There is so much talent out here in South Africa that is not recognised or even perused. Sometimes all I can do is stand in awe and cheer them on.”

Entry to TygerBurger’s Karaoke Like a Star competition closes on Sunday 17 February.

To enter, send a short audition video to 076 939 6536 and show us what you can do.

The winner will walk off with prizes worth thousands of rand.

ling companions, accidentally caught on stage one day and having to make it work lest they be run out of town. Those left standing banded together to continue their shared ability to use improvisation to get themselves in and out of misadventures.

Among their number are a few haggard short-form veterans, a whole bushel of a few years’ matured Long Shots-raised acolytes, and a gaggle of eager and no longer expendable fresh-faced types.For performances they favour shortform, musical and fastgame styles and have also started to dabble in long-form variants as well.

Feed your passion for speed T

he 2019 motorsport season at Killarney International Raceway starts with a high-octane big-bore rumble at Passion for Speed sponsored by G-Energy on Saturday 9 February.

“Rumble” being the operative word, with races featuring classes for monster V8-engined cars both classic and modern in the Pre-68 Legends and V8 Masters categories.

You’ll also see (and more importantly, hear) screaming Ferraris, howling Lamborghinis and snarling Porsches battling it out for line honours in the G & H Extreme Supercar races.

This exotic national racing series is open to GT supercars and high-performance sedans, led by a mix of GT3 sports racing cars and locally built GT racers.

Not all the entries are in yet but the pace setter in these races is expected to be Stradale Motorsport team principal Charl Arangies from Vereeniging in Gauteng, who will be bringing either his Aston Martin Vantage GT3 V12 or his Lamborghini Gallardo GT3. Either way, he will start as favourite, with entries expected from Simola Hillclimb hero Franco Scribante in his Porsche 997 Turbo, along with Jonathan du Toit (Ferrari F430), Jonathan Shenkman (Lamborghini Gallardo), the Porsche 997 Turbos of Nicky Dicks and Dino Scribante, Simon Murray’s very fast Lamborghini GT3, Greg Parton (Lamborghini Huracan), Gianni Giannoccaro (Lamborghini Gallardo) and Dawie Olivier in his giant-killing BMW M3

The Pre-66 Production Cars and Little Giants races will feature monster V8s such as Ford Fairlanes and Mustangs, big Chevrolet sedans, hot Corvettes and more from the golden age before fuel restrictions, mixing it with smaller and more nimble sports cars from the same period. Entries are expected from all over South Africa, as well as from Britain, Holland and Scandinavia for these international classic races.

A big field is expected for the Pre-1980 Classic and Invitation cars, practically guaranteeing close racing. Topping the entry list are Robin Forbes’ thundering 5.7-litre Corvette Stingray and the Ford Sapphire V6 of Steve Hallet, who have already confirmed their participation. They’ll have to put foot, however, to stay with Franco Donadio’s indecently quick Cosworth-engined Ford Escort Mk1, which is expected to set the pace.

A surprise new entry in this category is the Ford Escort Mk1 of Willie Ras, also with 16-valve Cosworth power and nicknamed “Witblitz”, which is expected to be driven at this event by motorsport legend Sarel van der Merwe. If anybody can give Donadio and Forbes a hard time, it’s Supervan. Expect fireworks.

The V8 Masters are a one-make class based at Killarney International Raceway; the cars are all identical, powered by 300kW, 5.7-litre Ford Racing V8s. It’s all down to driver skill and nerve; the racing is always close and often robust – and the sound of

near-capacity crowd flocked to Cape Town Stadium on Sunday 3 February to witness the first pre-season Super Rugby double-header.

The event, dubbed “Superhero Sunday”, signified the unique partnership between SA Rugby and Marvel, putting South African rugby in esteemed company. Marvel has previously partnered with other sport codes, but this is the first such arrangement with a rugby union in Africa.Each Super Rugby franchise was paired with a Marvel superhero, namely Thor (Stormers), Spider-Man (Lions), Black Panther (Sharks) and Captain America (Bulls).It won’t be the last time the teams don these special jerseys – they will wear them exclusively in most SA derbies.

This collaboration echoes previous Marvel partnerships like the recent Australian Open and the National Rugby League where fans arrived daily dressed in the gear of popular Marvel characters to support their favourites.

In the day’s finale, the Stormers scored five tries in a thrilling 33-28 win against the Bulls.

The Stormers made an encouraging start and dominated territory and possession early on, but the opening try came from the defence as a big hit shook the ball loose for Scarra Ntubeni to pounce on. The hooker raced away before finding flyer Seabelo Senatla, who finished with ease.Flank Jaco Coetzee broke free soon after and surged into the 22 where he gave the ball to scrumhalf Jano Vermaak who was brought down. Flyhalf Josh Stander hit the ball at pace on a great angle to go over for the second try.The score went out to 21-0 when wing SP Marais intercepted and raced away, skipping out of the last tackle just short of the tryline and then thumping the conversion over as well.The Bulls responded with tries from flyhalf Handre Pollard and Ivan van Zyl to bring themselves within seven points.

The Stormers made it four tries in the first half when No. 8 Juarno Augustus charged down and collected to score and although the Bulls had the final say in the first half with a try from fullback Warrick Gelant, the Stormers took a 26-21 advantage into the half-time break.The Bulls took the lead for the first time in the game just after half-time with a try from close range from flank Paul Schoeman which was converted by replacement Manie Libbok to put them 28-26 ahead.

Both teams were impressive on defence in the second half, scrambling and holding out the waves of attacks.

The Stormers put together a period of sustained pressure and they eventually found a way through as lock Chris van Zyl went over with just five minutes left to seal the 33-28 win.
