DURBANVILLE: ASH COVES VANDALISED
Cemetery a grave concern ESMÉ ERASMUS
O
Residents were shocked when they discovered that the memorial wall at the Durbanville cemetery was vandalised. Ash boxes were burnt, memorial plates broken and ashes were found thrown out. INSERT: Some of the memorial name plates were broken.
pen coves, broken memorial name plates, ashes of loved ones thrown out of the urns – laying among human faeces and litter . . . This was the picture of the latest desecration of the memorial wall at Durbanville Cemetery that was shared widely on social media last week. The connections to two newly installed CCTV cameras were also vandalised. The shocking discovery was made by Trevor Steyl from Bothasig on Sunday 20 September when he went to visit the ash grave of his father, who passed away on 10 September two years ago. The photographs his brother took were shared widely on Facebook and WhatsApp groups and caused quite a stir. Some of the boxes with ashes were set on fire and burnt. People speculated that vagrants mix the ashes with other substances to smoke. This came a mere three months after the previous incident in which graves in the cemetery were severely vandalised by vagrants who have occupied the cemetry over the past years. Another resident, Tina Schilling, who
read about the latest vandalism on Facebook, went to the cemetery to check on the interred ashes of her parents-in-law. “I was devastated and shocked at the unbelievably filthy, derelict state and complete vandalism of a sacred area, where security cameras were ripped off and fencing gone,’’ she said. “I could not find their niche due to the absence of most plaques. Only a handful of plaques and closed niches at the back of the wall remained. I am very disturbed and angry. My parents-in-law paid the City for a niche – what for?” she said. Before the City could even execute its R1.4m security plan for CCTV cameras and a fence at the cemetery, the cameras were already vandalised. This was promised earlier this year when TygerBurger reported on the poor state and vandalism at the cemetery (“Vagrants take over in cemetery during lockdown”, 17 June). Several graves were then plundered, gravestones pushed over and showpieces of graves were laying around. Litter was laying all over and it was clear that vagrants were making fires in the cemetery. Many of the graves have been vandalised and gravestones are even being used as chairs by the vagrants. Zahid Badroodien, Mayco member for community service and health, then said proposals have been put forward in September 2019 already in a security plan to fence the perimeter of the cemetery.

Desalination plants take final bow T
he Monwabisi desalination plant is being decommissioned as the two-year period for which it was hired has come to an end. Decommissioning of its counterpart in Strandfontein already commenced in June this year, and is currently underway. The City commissioned both the Monwabisi and Strandfontein temporary desalination plants to provide emergency water supply in the event that it was needed, as we faced the prospect of Day Zero. “The Monwabisi temporary desalination plant bids farewell at a very different time to when it was first commissioned during the worst drought in the Cape. Dam levels have recently reached 98,2% as of 21 September,” the City stated in a media release on Monday 28 September. “The City has made big strides towards implementation of larger schemes, as outlined in our water strategy. The first water from the Table Mountain Group Aquifer abstraction programme has already come online, contributing around 15 million litres of groundwater per day to our water supply. “Operation of these plants has provided valuable hands-on experience in producing desalinated water, which will help us as we work towards larger scale desalination projects.

nagement of a desalination plant, and built confidence that this is a viable way of reliably producing good quality drinking water,” said Xanthea Limberg, Mayco member for water and sanitation in the City. “Once the plant has been shut down, the infrastructure will be removed in phases by the contractor. Timeframes for the removal of infrastructure will largely be dependent on the weather and sea conditions. During this time, public access to sections of the area may be limited, at short notice, depending on the scope of the work. The area on which the plant was built will be restored to its former condition. “An environmental control officer will monitor the rehabilitation work,” she said. According to Limberg, local community members were given work opportunities throughout the duration of the project. “Residents are advised that it is likely there will be a slight change to the taste of water as supply shifts back to surface water, but are assured that the strict Sans241 standards remain in place and that the water remains safe to drink.” Water security going forward Limberg said the drought showed that the City needed to accelerate diversification of waters sources quickly. “The strategy for doing so is outlined in the City’s water strategy, which seeks to ensure that Cape Town will be more resilient to climate change and other shocks. The City is committed to increasing supply by building affordable new capacity of approximately 300 million litres per day over the next 10 years, and in suitable increments thereafter.

The gate to the memorial wall is also vandalised and the fencing broken. “This will require R1.4m in budget. As a first phase, CCTV cameras were installed on 5 June this year along the pedestrian route adjacent to the cemetery to monitor movement,” he then said. “Linking the cameras to the City servers is currently being completed and will be monitored from the recreation and parks depot in Durbanville,” he said. The largest portion of the funds required – about R1.2m – is to properly fence off and install a gate at the cemetery. “Once this is complete, the cemetery can be locked up after hours and should result in a decrease in illegal access and vandalism. “To appoint security guards to patrol a site with multiple entry points, low walls and hiding spaces would be costly and ineffective. Once securely fenced, a security guard to patrol the gate at a locked up site would be taken into consideration,” he said. “The balance of the budget required to
complete the security plan will be put forward for consideration in the 2020/’21 financial year,” he said in June. Theresa Uys, councillor for ward 112, said to TygerBurger “the criminal act was reported to the police and case numbers have been provided”. According to her the area supervisor did an inspection of the site and photographs of all the coves were taken in order to assess the damage. Uys said the two CCTV cameras were installed after the vandalism in June, but connections to these two cameras were also vandalised in this latest incident. “The directorate has informed me that they will make emergency funding available for a security guard at night until December this year. “The fencing cannot be funded from this year’s budget and has been submitted for the 2020/2021 budget,” she said. She urged residents with information to contact her at Theresa.Uys@capetown.gov.za or 021 444 0639.

Athlete pushes to the extreme NETTALIE VILJOEN
W
hile most of us would consider staying in the plank position for longer than two minutes a test of endurance, Jamie Marais sets that bar somewhat higher. On 30 August, Marais became the only known person in the world to have cycled a vertical ascent of 9 000 metres – the equivalent elevation of Mount Everest (8 845m) – in a big-5 game reserve over 36 hours. Starting at 06:00 on Saturday 29 August, the adventure athlete pressed on through the night to reach the summit of a gravel circuit 40 times (337 kilometres) by 18:00 the next day. And he did it all for a good cause. Well, two good causes – to protect endangered wildlife and to feed communities affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. The Durbanville resident says a single phone call made during lockdown set the wheels in motion. “I remember sitting at home, feeling so frustrated after having read yet another negative post about Covid-19. It got me thinking about my amazing holiday at Kariega Game Reserve in the Eastern Cape last December and how they must have been affected by the downturn in tourism.” That’s when Marais called one of the reserve’s game wardens who in turn put him in touch with Lindy Sutherland, the director of the Kariega Foundation. The non-profit trust, which supports wildlife conservation and community upliftment, is fuelled by a community and conservation levy paid by adult guests visiting Kariega Game Reserve. For five months, the big-5 game reserve could not bring in any revenue. This meant that the foundation’s community projects, including an anti-poaching unit and community food relief programmes, were in jeopardy. Sutherland, a Constantia resident, says: “Raising funds to ensure the safety of our endangered species and keep our neighbours and friends fed has become our priority.” Putting their heads together, they came up with the idea for the #JamieRides4Rhinos campaign. Once out there, it quickly garnered the support of an international team of creative people, including cycling commentator Phil Liggett, three-time winner of the Roof of Africa off-road endurance motorbike race Louwrens Mahoney of KTM, Mountain Bike SA magazine editor Paul Ingpen and filmmaker Fergus Clark. Funds raised during the live social media broadcast of the event clocked in at R400 000. Marais, who did not sleep a wink for the entire 36 hours, says what kept him going was the support of his family. “My cousin Paul Marais cycled for 12 hours through the night with me. And each time I reached the summit, my wife, Rouchelle, was there, waiting for me.” Rouchelle Liedemann, who also happens to be a well-known singer and a popular TV personality on kykNET, had broken her toe just a week or so before the event. Marais
says seeing his wife there at 02:00 in the morning, hobbling around with her broken toe while bringing him a cup of tea, really warmed his spirit. He shares a couple of mantras that he repeats to himself to stay motivated. “What came to mind 32 hours into the ride was, ‘It is not that hard’. With four hours left to go, I started saying that to myself. The more you say it, the more you believe it.” Besides the huge change in temperature – blistering heat in the afternoon to freezing cold at night – Marais also had to contend with the threat of colliding with wildlife each time he descended the gravel trail. “There was a large bull elephant, Charlie, who stopped me right in my tracks when I started. He stayed in the area, wanting to see what was going on. My biggest stress factor was descending at speed because crashing into an elephant is the last thing you want to do.” Marais, who is the head of corporate sales for an IT and tech company based in Century City by day, began to focus on solo extreme endurance challenges four years ago. Having competed in top-ranked amateur men’s cycling teams throughout his 30s, Marais says the decision to change gears was made in response to him discovering his “why”.
Jamie Marais says his biggest stress factor was the threat of colliding with wildlife each time he descended the rough gravel trail. INSERT: Jamie Marais and Lindy Sutherland. “When I turned 40, I asked myself why I do what I do and why I want to do what I want to do. I realised my true passion was inspiring people to believe in themselves, to help others realise that nothing is too big to face and to overcome. Each challenge I tackle is a metaphor for what people are facing in life.” He completed his first major challenge in 2016 when he speed-summitted Table Mountain 22 times in 28 hours over two days to raise funds for the Sabrina Love Foundation which cares for children with special needs. Since then, Marais has taken on one big project every year. As to what’s next, Marais says he hasn’t decided yet. “But each challenge is becoming more dangerous and extreme. So let’s see what the future holds,” he adds.

Anthony is this week’s ‘hero’ Anthony Francis, a social worker at Tygerberg Hospital, has been nominated as this week’s “Coronavirus hero amongst us”. The hero amongst us campaign seeks to highlight an official’s achievements, abilities or personal qualities during the Covid-19 pandemic. Like many employees at the hospital, Covid-19 has affected Anthony’s work, which required adaptation. “It has changed my work in various ways. Conducting assessments and interviews required a different approach in order to protect myself in the workplace and to follow measures such as social distancing, wearing of protective clothing and regular handwashing,” says Anthony, who has worked at the hospital for the past five years. As one of many social workers at Tygerberg Hospital, Anthony, a Belhar resident, is motivated to add value to the lives of patients and his colleagues.

Two receive gift of hearing A
senior citizen was recently given the gift of hearing when he had his cochlear implant activated at Tygerberg Hospital. Frederick Sansom (73) says he is delighted by the procedure. He lost his hearing in one ear as a child and lost the hearing in the other ear following a motor vehicle accident as an adult. “His hearing became progressively worse until he could no longer benefit from hearing aids,” a hospital spokesperson says. He was recently referred to the Tygerberg Hospital’s Cochlear Implant Unit where the team found that he would benefit from intervention. Dr Gary Kroukamp, a private ear, nose and throat surgeon, successfully implanted the device on 22 May this year and on 12 June the activation of the implant took place at the hospital. After about four weeks, Frederick was able to hear, his wife, Mariana, says. Nontlahla Ngqandu (36). He is currently making a wonderful recovery. .

Climate impact on whales to be researched DESIRÉE RORKE @dezzierorke
I
n a world first, three universities in Cape Town will join an international research effort to unravel how the changing ocean conditions are influencing the migration patterns and recovery of the humpback whale population in the southern hemisphere, where numbers significantly increased. During whaling practises in the previous century, the population of the species dwindled, with more than 220 000 individual whales being hunted down between 1904 and 1972. By the time the whaling industry ended there were roughly about 1 000 of these whales left in the oceans. “With conservation regulations in the 1960s and 70s, numbers started to recover, doubling every seven years to a current population of 90 000, according to professor Ken Findlay, a whale expert at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT). In recent years, experts have noted changes in the migrations patterns of humpback whales, suspected to be linked to climate change. Iconic to the southern ice sea, the humpback whale species are now the focus of this new six-year long research project, which will see contributions from 25 researchers from six countries including Australia and several South American countries. The Whales and Climate Research Programme was conceptualised by prof Alakendra Roychoudhury, an environmental geochemist at the University of Stellen-
bosch in collaboration with prof Brendan Mackey, director of the Griffith Climate Change Response Programme at Griffith University in Australia. Professors Findlay and Marchello Vichi, an oceanographer from the University of Cape Town, joins the South African effort. Roychoudhury adds, the Arctic Ocean is largely unexplored and there is an urgent need for seasonal as well as long-term observations of this vast ocean. “Climate change is drastically altering our oceans, with less ice in the Arctic and warmer water affecting the migration patterns of whales, says Findlay. “Humpback whales migrate each year between June and July from the cold Arctic past South Africa on both sides to breed in Angola and Gabon, and Mozambique and Madagascar. By October and November they swim back. “But last year they didn’t arrive in Mozambique, why not? Something has happened and we don’t know what. The warmer water could be affecting their food source in the Arctic, causing them to not feed enough in order to migrate. Findlay says they have also spotted what is called super-groups of about 250 whales in the waters between Lamberts Bay and Cape Point during October and November in recent years. “This is unheard of. Could it be that they found a new food source? “Researchers hope to identify and link these seasonal changes to the oceanographic and biogeochemical changes occurring in the Southern Ocean over the same time period,” he says.

Turning maths into art DESIRÉE RORKE @dezzierorke

f mathematics are the building blocks of the universe, then art is what gives it form. Ongoing research in the education sphere has linked the positive influence of the arts on performance of learners in subjects like mathematics, science, technology and engineering, the so-called Stem subjects. “Therefore an approach combining arts with Stem subjects gave rise to the Steam approach to education, that assumes that art is an integrative element in teaching and learning,” explains Bronagh Hammond, spokesperson of the provincial education department. In a recent national competition, a project inspired by the Steam approach, schools in
Children’s home to upgrade
the northern suburbs of Cape Town produced six winners. The MathArt Competition challenges learners to combine artistic creativity with mathematical problem solving in innovative ways. Learners in Grades 7 to 12 could enter the Nelson Mandela University’s MathArt Competition, a project of the Govan Mbeki Mathematics Development Centre, which is a partner of the provincial education department. The theme for this year’s competition was “My Universe”. Stellenberg High School in Bellville had the most learners in the final round. The school also produced the first and second prize winners: Amè Lambrecht with her work “Perspective” and Nicola Nothnagel with her work “Unlimited” in the Grade 11 and 12 category. Nadia Heunis of Protea Heights Academy in Brackenfell with her work “Calculated Randomness” was third. Stellenberg also had two winners in the Grade 10 category, Simon Botha with “My universe is an illusion” in second place and Jemma Fourie with “Proportionally EQUAL” in third place. Sian Bosch from Durbanville Primary won a combined second prize in the Grade 7 and 8 category with his work “Daydreams”.

Durbanville Children’s Home is presenting its adopt-a-home project to upgrade the various houses in which its children are homed. The home has 12 house units – each a duplex with the bottom area consisting of a kitchen, living area and store room. The top area consists of four bedrooms and a bathroom. “Our aim is to create an enriching and stimulating home environment for the children in our care by offering love, emotional support, opportunities and a child friendly environment,” says Melanie Stipp, marketing and campaigns coordinator of Durbanville Children’s Home. “Our main challenge presently is that we need to upgrade our house units,” she says. According to Stipp research has shown that a child’s early home environment has a long-term effect on development. “The home environment can even affect a child’s brain development. Colour psychology and its impact on a child’s le-
arning abilities and behaviour is a muchresearched subject. Colour psychologists have linked colour with brain development, enhanced productivity and even transition from childhood to adulthood,” she says. The estimated cost of the upgrading per house unit of R85 640 includes painting, curtains, bedding, décor, the upgrade of kitchen cupboards, new flooring, cutlery and crockery. Donors can also make a monetary commitment by using their own contractors. In return for their investment, the donors will have naming rights and prominent advertising on site for a period of 12 months. Donors will also receive publicity on the home’s website, on Facebook and in its annual report. “As Durbanville Children’s Home is registered as a public benefit organisation, a certificate can be issued in terms of section 18A of the Tax Income Act, which can be used for tax deductions,” Stipp says.

Haarverlies kry lyers nie onder RICHARD ROBERTS @richardjohn_rj
A
lopesie, ’n mediese toestand wat tot haarverlies lei, is waarskynlik iets waarvan min mense kennis dra. Tog is Septembermaand die maand waarin hierdie siekte erken word. Alopesie is ’n outo-immuunsiekte wat die persoon se immuunstelsel verkeerdelik aanval en die haarfollikels dan laat uitval. ’n Groep lyers het onlangs by die Tyger Falls-waterfront byeengekom om die maand te vier, sowel as om stories te deel, en ’n ondersteuningsgroep te begin. “Min mense is bewus daarvan en min mense weet eintlik wat die toestand behels,” meen Inge Palvie, ’n lyer. Inge is een van die mense by wie op ’n jong ouderdom alopesie gediagnoseer is. “Ek is op 26-jarige ouderdom gediagnoseer,” sê Inge. Die toestand het gevorder tot ’n stadium waar sy alle hare op haar kop, arms, bene en wenkbroue verloor het. “Dit was ’n baie emosionele tyd toe my hare begin uitval en toe ek gediagnoseer is, veral omdat daar geen definitiewe antwoorde is nie, en daar geen kuur vir die toestand bestaan nie.”
TygerBurger wou vasstel watter ondersteuning beskikbaar is vir mense met dié toestand. “Ek het maar self ondersteuning gaan soek op sosiale media deur ‘alopecia areata’ in te tik by ondersteuningsgroepe. Ek en Kelly Pearce het ook ons eie een begin op Facebook, genaamd ‘Faces for Alopecia’. “Ons groepe het mekaar op Facebook gevind en ek het dit goedgedink om ’n byeenkoms te reël sodat ons ons stories kon deel, en meer gereeld só bymekaar kom om mekaar te ondersteun aangesien ons presies weet waardeur almal gaan. Ons het ook mekaar raad gegee en kennis van pruike en pruikprodukte met mekaar gedeel,” sê Inge. Die geleentheid verlede Saterdag 19 September was die eerste byeenkoms. “Maar ons beplan nog vele meer.” Inge moedig ander aan wat ook aan die mediese toestand ly om moed te skep. “My boodskap aan ander alopecia warriors is: Jou hare of gebrek aan hare definieer nie wie jy is nie. Jy is nie alleen nie. Wees sterk en wees net jouself. “Moenie voel dat dit jou skuld is nie; reik uit na ander lyers vir ondersteuning, want dit is maar moeilik om te aanvaar, en onthou dat jy nie onthou sal word vir die hare op jou kop nie,” sê sy.

Smile 90.4FM news manager, Liesl Smit, said the news landscape can be overwhelming and difficult to navigate which is why the Smile 90.4FM team wants to provide listeners with news that matters as it happens. “From breaking and developing stories in the Mother City to provincial, national and global events that impact Capetonians. Listeners are presented with a plethora of information which can be overwhelming. This is why we have repositioned our news offering to ensure that the information they receive is relevant. Our aim is to provide factual and relevant information on breaking news as well as developing stories,” Smit said.

SLICE OF LIFE
Sibling rivalry a recipe for disaster Sibling rivalry has been around since the second generation of mankind. At least that is what those like myself, who take what is written in the Holy Book as the gospel truth, believe. The plus side of this kind of feud between families is that those involved strive to become the best version of themselves and make a success of their lives. Although they would never admit it, mothers secretly encourage the competitive relationships because it builds character. The problem, however, comes when this rivalry carries on well into the siblings’ adulthood and is no longer cute for the mother to witness. These are the nightmares that mothers dread wholeheartedly. They dread it because it gets really ugly. Growing up, I was the youngest of three children. My brother, the middle child was the favourite and my uncle, well his troublesome behaviour always rubbed everyone off the wrong way. Although he was our uncle, we considered him our brother because there was no huge age gap between him and my brother. Looking back at those days, I now realise that my once obedient uncle got tired of always having to prove his capabilities. As for me, I could not care less what the others thought of me. I was too young to compete with teenagers anyway. While my mother and grandmother tried to call a truce between the two, clearly favouring the middle child, the young me was busy engaging in his daily tolletjie brei activity. This war between my two older siblings lasted until July last year when my dearest uncle, well in his forties, succumbed to a long illness. What the rest of my family does not realise though, is that the troublesome oldest sibling never got over the so-called rivalry. To him it was betrayal more than anything, the favour his younger counterpart always had over him. It killed his confidence, the way he shrunk in the presence of my brother was too obvious to ignore. It was too sad to witness, if you ask me. One would ask themself who is to blame for this. Did my uncle bring it upon himself or could this have been avoidable from the beginning? I think the elders are to blame. Yes their motive for allowing this competitive behaviour was to help the young men build character, but to let it carry on beyond their young adulthood is enough to send the other to an early grave. To avoid resentment between siblings, parents need to teach their children from an early age to support each other in whatever they do. Encouraging competition between siblings can only have damaging repercussions that could divide families for many generations. As the saying goes: “Together we stand, divided we fall.” Sibling rivalry will make it easier for the enemy to enter into the household and destroy it forever. Once destroyed, picking up the piece will be almost impossible when feelings of resentment, bitterness and anger towards each other are felt. No matter how cute it might seem, parents need to stop encouraging competitive behaviour between siblings and teach them to always support one another. - Thabang Kuaho

South Africans to celebrate Garden Day: On Sunday 11 October, people across the country will celebrate their unique green spaces and gardens in every shape and size. Created by gardening app Candide, Garden Day is a growing movement uniting people in their love for plants and flowers since 2016. Over the past few months, South Africans have turned to their green spaces to find solace and balance. With spring in the air, it offers a chance to pause, reflect, and celebrate a season of new beginnings.

Wie is vriend, wie is vyand? Elke dag word statistieke gegee van sterfgevalle van Covid-19 en miljarde rande word bestee om dit hok te slaan. Maar ek maak die afleiding dat die daaglikse moordsyfer soms meer, soms minder, is as die Covid-19-gevalle en dit wil voorkom of dit eenvoudig aanvaar word. Gewelddadige misdaad is besig om hand uit te ruk. Elke dag word babas vermoor en verkrag; vroue word doodgeslaan. Daar is plaasaanvalle, gewelddadige bendegeweld, kinderontvoering en gewapende huisrooftogte. Gewelddadige oproer waarin infrastruktuur beskadig en vernietig word, vind plaas en so gaan die misdaadlys aan. Jy kan nie eie reg gebruik om jouself te beskerm nie, want die polisie, aldus die Grondwet, is vir ons veiligheid verantwoordelik. Die polisie is magteloos aangesien die meerderheid van die gemeenskap nie bereid is om betrokke te raak by misdaadbekamping nie, want hulle vertrou nie die polisie nie. Ek kan dit verstaan, want elke dag lees jy in die media van polisielede wat aangekeer word vir ernstige misdade – hetsy aan diens of van diens, asook lede wat steeds in diens is met opgeskorte vonnisse vir ernstige misdade. Die ergste van alles is dat hierdie misdadigers tot op senior vlak voorkom. Die minister van polisie, Bheki Cele, was destyds die polisiekommissaris en is onder ’n donker wolk uit die polisie geskors en later weer aangestel as die minister van polisie.
My beskeie mening is dat hy geensins ’n idee het wat van hom verwag word nie behalwe om arrogant te wees en die volk te dreig dat hy hulle sal toesluit vir geringe oortredings soos die oortreding van Covid-19-regulasies. Wanneer gaan die regering wakker skrik en besef dat die meerderheid van ons polisie onbekwaam is – van voetsoolvlak tot senior bestuur, die minister ingesluit, en dit gaan nie net die volk benadeel nie ... buitelandse toeriste gaan nie hul lewe waag om ons land te besoek nie. Ek is bevrees dit staan soos ’n paal bo water dat vigilante optrede ons voorland gaan wees. NEVILLE BOTHA Kuilsrivier
Waar is ons munisipaliteit en owerhede? Nêrens in Brackenfell kan jy vandag rondry en die sypaadjies miskyk nie. Die onkruid staan in sommige strate meer as ’n meter hoog. Ek het al hoeveel keer Stad Kaapstad gekontak en versoeke gerig op die Stad Kaapstadapplikasie, maar niks het nog gebeur nie. Op die hoek van Kruis- en Brackenstraat het ’n waterpyp gebars en die munisipaliteit was daar om dit te herstel, maar die sypaadjie is net so gelos. Die grond is nie gelyk gemaak nie. As jy in Kruisstraat van die verkeersdepartement af ry na die stasie toe, sien jy aan albei kante van die sypaadjie hoe hoog die onkruid staan. Jakaranda-parkie is vuil en op die terrein aan die oorkant waar die ou Voortrekkersaaltjie staan, is die onkruid net so hoog. Daar slaap ’n man in ’n tent op hierdie terrein en
wetstoepassing doen niks daaraan nie. Die stasie is vuil en onwettige straatverkopers (straatmense) verkoop hul gesteelde artikels daar. Kyk hoe lyk die terrein langs KFC in Ruwari. En as jy al hierdie dinge aanmeld, dan sê die persoon aan die ander kant net hulle sal vir jou ’n SMS stuur. Wat gaan dít help? Waar is ons wyksraadlede? Is daar nog bevoegde mense in ons stadsraad?

Wat van reg op privaatheid? Ek dink dit is uitstekend dat Johan Fritz en Eben Nel die gemeenskap deur middel van hommeltuie gaan help om misdaad te help bekamp. Uit ’n regsaspek wil ek net graag weet hoe hulle die kwessie oorbrug wat betrekking het op die reg op privaatheid. Met ’n hommeltuig kan jy inzoem op ’n persoon se erf en selfs ook deur vensters kyk.

Rabbits in area a problem We at Langeberg Ridge have a big problem with rabbits. We have been complaining about rabbits but neighbours are feeding the rabbits arround the park. Currently, we cannot utilise our park or walk our dogs properly. Dogs are going crazy at night when rabbits are about. We are already scared that our neighbors without dogs will complain. Where an to whom can we escalated the issue to? LINDA Email
Dienslewering bereik nuwe laagtepunt Die munisipaliteit was nog nooit goed met die bestuur van sy werkers nie. Ons ken almal die situasie waar werk geskep word in groepe waar twee werk en agt rus. Onlangs, in vlak 1, het dit egter ’n nuwe laagtepunt bereik. Ek en sewe ander sit op die stoep van die munisipale kantore vir die een teller om ons te help. Ek is tweede in die ry, maar dit neem 45 minute. Toe sien ons ’n tipiese voorbeeld van personeelgebruik. Oorkant ons is ’n munisipale werker besig om die parkeerplek skoon te vee met ’n besem op wiele. Van die besems is opgetel (vir minder weerstand). Hy het handskoene aan (vir eelte) en is besig met sy selfoon vir oproepe en musiek (multi-tasking). Vandat ons begin tel het, het hy 25 keer dieselfde 10 x 3m stukkie parkeergebied “gevee”. Heen-en-weer, heen-en-weer. Toe ek daar wegry, was hy nog nie klaar nie en dieselfde blare het op dieselfde plek gelê as toe ek gekom het! Dit was in die oggend en sy skof was seker tot namiddag ... en dan kom môre. Alles het reg voor belastingbetalers plaasgevind en ons moet daarvoor opdok. Dis skrikwekkend hoe geld gemors word. Volgende jaar met die verkiesing moet ons hulle weer ondersteun. Prioriteitslys 1 tot 4: beter salarisse, meer werkers, hoër tariewe, groter skuld en eers by nommer 27, produktiwiteit!

Public to apply for firework displays I
f you love firework displays, you will now need to apply for a permit. This is according to the City of Cape Town saying that in terms of the National Explosives Act and the community fire safety bylaw, people wishing to host fireworks displays will be able to apply for a permit to do so. As was the case in 2019, fireworks displays will only be allowed where a permit has been applied for in terms of the relevant legislation. The City’s Mayco member for safety and security, JP Smith, said any event where 200-plus attendees are expected, or that requires any infrastructure build, will also require an events permit
from the City. “The City wishes to reiterate that, while it has, in years gone by, provided designated fireworks sites, there is no obligation to do so and since 2019 has no longer provided designated fireworks sites for Guy Fawkes, Diwali and New Year’s Eve. As we indicated last year, the public will need to apply for a permit for a fireworks display as we no longer provide designated sites. There is growing public sentiment opposing the use of fireworks, and we have also seen a decreased appetite from subcouncils to approve designated sites, Smith said. He added that the cost of running the sites and making resources available to monitor activities
and clean up the aftermath, a picture emerges of why the designated site allocation is not feasible. “Furthermore, the designated sites have done little to deter the illegal discharge of fireworks in residential areas, which is an ongoing problem. Unfortunately this was misinterpreted as a ban on fireworks, when it was first implemented, but I would like to remind the public that only national government has the authority to ban fireworks. Firework displays can still be applied for, in terms of the relevant legislation,”
Smith explained. People who would like to apply for a permit to host a firework display need to apply to the police via email at capetown.explosives.cmrd@saps. gov.za. Smith said the community should contact the head of the City’s fire and life safety section in their application via email at Ignatius.smart@capetown.gov.za. “If the application is given the go ahead by the police, they then have to make contact with the fire and rescue services, the fire life

safety section, in the area where they plan to hold the display so that a site inspection can be carried out to determine whether the site is safe for a fireworks display. Apart from ensuring that there are no fire hazards in the immediate surroundings, permission also needs to be sought from residents and businesses in the area, and strict conditions have to be adhered to before and during the fireworks display to mitigate any potential risk to public health and safety,” Smith said. Furthermore, the import and sale of fireworks without the necessary permission outlined in the Explosives Act is illegal, as is the discharge of fireworks in an area not specifically designated for it.

Elke graad het die geleentheid gehad om ná ’n aantal akademiese periodes hul braaibroodjies deur ’n paar gr. 7’s en een van ons proefonderwysers te laat braai, sê hy. Die braaibroodjies is in die skool se braai-area gemaak. “Die gr. 7’s het dit baie geniet om die broodjies vir hul jonger skoolmaats te braai. ’n Paar meisies het die seuns en onderwysers ook sommer gewys hoe lekker hulle braaibroodjies kan braai,” voeg Lotter by.

Integrated housing project in Glenhaven F
irst-time home buyers can enter the market from as little as R640 000 in an excellent locati-
on. This comes after Devmark Property Group’s excellent success of the integrated housing project which saw the launch of The Glen in Glenhaven in Bellville South. This development is located on a 7.2ha infill site on the corner of Peter Barlow and Bester Roads and is close to public transport, the University of the Western Cape, Cape Pensinsula University of Technology as well as schools and various economic opportunities. One-bedroomed apartments
start at R640 000 and are inclusive of bond and transfer costs. Rates and taxes for the first twelve months after occupation will also be covered. My Bond Fitness founder and director of MDW INC Attorneys Meyer de Waal says The Glen is designed to help qualifying first-time buyers onto the property ladder with the assistance of the Financed Linked Individual Subsidy Programme (Flisp) homeloan subsidy provided by government. This is a housing subsidy for qualifying first-time buyers. “A Flisp subsidy for a qualifying buyer at The Glen for a unit valued
at R649 999 can reduce the price by R59 000 if you earn R15 500 per month. “The price can be reduced by R31 000 for a unit that sells for R895 000 for a qualifying buyer who earns R21 400.” He further says the subsidy amount ranges between R27 960 and R121 626, depending on the joint household income of the applicant, with a maximum allowable monthly income of R22 000. “It is currently cheaper to buy than to rent as interest rates are at a 53-year all-time low.” With rentals escalating every year, he says this is the best time to
secure one’s own property and start paying off their home loan, instead of the landlord’s. “The Glen affords first-time home buyers the opportunity to buy in Bellville, one of the most established areas in Cape Town.” Prior to the development of this integrated housing project, only 10% of properties in Glenhaven were sectional title apartments or townhouses, despite the demand created by virtue of the tertiary education and work opportunities in close proximity. “Glenhaven also has very few properties available for rent. One cannot go wrong – it offers everyt-
hing the first-time home buyer needs and promises to become a valuable asset within a few years,” he explains. To establish if you qualify for a Flisp subsidy and to receive the Glen Buyer’s Pack, register here or do your own affordability.

Paddling for cleaner rivers T
he Peninsula Paddle, in its 11th year of running, will take place on Sunday 4 October after having been postponed due to the rain prediction last Sunday (27 September). This year, UCT’s Future Water Institute, in partnership with Cape Town Environmental Education Trust (CTEET), Friends of the Liesbeek, Khayelitsha Canoe Club, Zandvlei Trust and the City of Cape Town, will continue to raise awareness for the plight of the waterways. They are calling on residents in Cape Town to take notice and change their habits. Founded in 2010, the Peninsula Paddle began as a challenge between four friends to see if they could paddle from Muizenberg to Milnerton through the city’s urban waterways. According to CTEET, this proved to be a
difficult task as they often found their way blocked by solid waste or overgrown weeds. Through this initial paddle, they coined the phrase “the health of the city is seen in its waterways”. “There is a disconnection between residents in Cape Town and their environment, that little thought is given to the consequences of litter and other waste. We hope that with raising awareness around the Peninsula Paddle and spreading the message, we can really show people what beautiful assets urban rivers can be and how they can benefit every single citizen of Cape Town and not just be a conduit for waste and pollution. The route for the Peninsula Paddle was specifically chosen to highlight the socio-economic disparity within the City of Cape Town, while showing that we are all connected to the city’s waterways. In connecting people
to waterways, the spatial and economic divisions in the city can be bridged by these blue and green corridors running through the city,” CTEET said in a statement. Dr Anthony Roberts, CTEET CEO, said at a time when unemployment is at an all-time high, particularly for youth, it is essential to be creative in how the green economy can be used to bolster employment for a semiskilled workforce. The theme for this year’s Peninsula Paddle is “The tragic journey of litter in our waterways”. A short video documenting the paddle will be produced showing that everything you throw away can potentially end up in the canals and river, eventually washing out to sea. CTEET said the message they are portraying is serious and encourage all to refuse single use plastic and buy responsibly.
Training provides positive outlet for pros Despite the lowering of the national lockdown level to level 1, amateur rugby action remains paused, but clubs are still active within their communities. “As you know rugby remains inactive as per government regulation with only professionals allowed to train, but our players are now at least able to do contact training and this has already made a tremendous positive difference both mentally and physically,” says WP Amateur Rugby manager, Danny Jones. He says they will wait on further announcements from SA Rugby on the return to competition, but is happy to have players being able to train again, with clubs continuing their respective outreach projects.
“Some examples include St. Georges reaching out to close on 500 people weekly, including a recent event for Women’s Day where their senior ladies and women staff received gifts, chocolates and a card. Eerste River did a Sunday lunch at Kleinvlei together with their women’s rugby team last week and Caledonian Roses have been reaching out to local schools with a focus on girls schools. Paarl Rangers and Vineyards have been busy with soup kitchens in the Paarl region and Collegians have also been busy with soup kitchens to help more than one thousand people weekly,” he says, adding that while these initiatives are hardly new, the clubs still need to be commended on their efforts. Jones adds that clubs have now turned
their attention to their playing facilities. “These clubs have engaged their players, old boys and local fans to help and sees a wide variety of skills deployed by those that are so willing to commit their time and resources. In some cases, we’ve seen bricklaying, painting and fencing skills as well as individuals using their own vehicles to deliver sand, cement and other materials. We’ve also seen that some clubs have started slightly bigger construction such as levelling the surface of the playing field with a view to improving the grass layout. These efforts bode well for the facility’s future and we look forward to our players returning back to improved venues. Some of our clubs have also begun club activity extensions outside of the immediate rugby activ-

ity but yet with a crossover in terms of training and additional benefits to their members. These include setting up functional outdoor gym facilities which can be constructed from basic materials,” explains Jones. With the lowering of the level of the lockdown restrictions, certain clubs have been able to open their doors for business again. “Our players and clubs continue to engage outside of the training arena with many doing beach runs, mountain runs and even some cross-fit training. Last week saw us conclude our second week of online media, sponsorship and marketing training with Super League C and the City League. Each club has been asked to submit up to three members to fulfil the role at the club with a view to building the future of that club for a committed period. It was emphasised that dedicated individuals with a determined focus are required.”

SOFTBALL: LOCAL SEASON STILL OFF THE CARDS
Waiting for dust to settle NOORE NACERODIEN
T
he 2020/2021 local softball season, run by the Cape Town Softball Association (CTSA), will not go ahead. The softball season usually runs from October to March every year. The previous season only managed to finish a matter of days before the lockdown was officially implemented. The pandemic had a major effect on the sport locally, which has five women and three men’s leagues with many youth teams. Nationally, events such as the National Provincial Championships, normally held in March, was also cancelled. However, the government stance regarding softball as a non-contact sport has baffled players and administrators alike – who have the collective thought, saying, “there’s nothing soft about it”. The dust will stand thick when players clash at a base. Contact between opposing players is inevitable. The majority of clubs supported the Cape Town Softball Association’s (CTSA) executive committee in their proposal not to play the 2020/2021 season. The CTSA will, however, review the status of the pandemic at the end of November for a possible start in January 2021, albeit a shortened competition season. The cost to ensure that the playing venues are compliant in terms of regulatory requirements is exorbitant, but CTSA chairperson Hayley Carolus says health and safety is of paramount importance. “We are responsible and held accountable for their safety and their loved ones at home. It was by no
means easy to propose the ‘no play’ (decision). We are all eager to return back to the field of play to continue enjoying this beautiful game we all love so dearly. “However, this is no normal season we are living in, and we are heading into an uncertain future. We are living in extraordinary times and I hope times that we will never experience in our lifetime again,” she said. “By moving to alert level 1, we have to be extremely cautious and keep practising social distancing, washing of hands regularly, wearing a mask, as we are now more
vulnerable than ever, with limited borders and airports opening up. I would rather want our softball fraternity to be safe, healthy and living than to return to the field of play too soon and be at risk of any danger,” Carolus added. Nazeem Dulvie, veteran coach of current Super League champions, Westridge Yankees Softball Club, echoed the sentiment, questioning the government’s view that the sport is a non-contact sport. “Surely the ones who are categorising the code as non-contact has not watched this beautiful game being played at an elite level.
“Pick-off plays on bases are exciting and contact is inevitable. Not to mention those close plays at home plate when players collide as well as ‘run-downs’,” he says. Dulvie adds that the pandemic has had a major impact on preparations, especially considering the closure of facilities for most of the lockdown period, while limited resources exacerbate the safe return to action. “Not all players can afford their own equipment, and this has added to the lack of proper preparations. We need to look at the holistic wellbeing of our athletes and the effects
possible Covid-19 infections can have on them physically, emotionally and financially. Even though we might have younger ‘low risk’ athletes competing, these athletes go home where they might live with ‘high-risk individuals’. “Also considering that our more experienced technical staff are older and at a higher risk than the players. This sport has stood the test of time and will be there way after the Covid-19 pandemic has been surpassed. “It is time to take caution and protect our players, technical and their families,” Dulvie concluded.
There will be no action at Turfhall Softball Stadium, the home of the Cape Town Softball Association, following a “no play” decision.
