#PAWMEMBER: RESCUE DOG TO STAR IN AWARENESS VIDEO

Eyevy a patron for clinic CARINA ROUX

lmost three years ago Laetitia Genis of Kraaifontein received a Facebook post of a puppy, then called Leela, up for adoption from the Mdzananda Animal Clinic in Khayelitsha. The puppy was blind in one eye and had a deformed face. Laetitia says as her daughter’s name is Leela, she saw it as a bit of a sign. The veterinarians at the clinic believed the puppy chewed on a live wire, she explained. The previous owner had left the in-

jury without treatment for too long. The infection had spread to her eye, into her gums and some of her teeth. “She can’t see out of her one eye and has some scarring. Only about half her tongue is there.” The family named her Eyevy, because of her special eye. “It’s so nice to come home, and someone is so excited and wants to be all around you.” Genis says Eyevy also taught Leela (3) about sharing and patience. “She is an allround loving and happy dog. She brings this atmosphere of constant love into the house.”

At Mdzananda Eyevy’s face was stitched up repeatedly until it eventually started to heal. “Even though she was in pain, Eyevy was the happiest puppy we’d met, always offering licks, skew faced smiles and tail wags,” says Marcelle du Plessis, Fundraising Manager of the clinic. She needed a very special home and found it with the Genis-family in Kraaifontein. Genis and Eyevy recently became patrons of Mdzananda and appear in a video to appeal for support for the clinic.

City ‘finally’ relaxes water tariffs TARRYN-LEIGH SOLOMONS @tarryns07

fter various calls for the relief in water tariffs, the City of Cape Town announced that it will move to the lowest tariff, being the no restriction, water-wise tariff from 1 November. In a statement, it reads the decision to lift water restrictions and lower water tariffs is based on the following three key considerations: . The national department of water and sanitation’s lifting of its restrictions applicable to the Western Cape water supply system of shared dams, of which Cape Town is one of the users. Overall, the province’s dam levels reached 100%. . City projections indicating dams are unlikely to drop below 50% by next winter. The lifting of all restriction measures, except for existing water regulations permanently in place due to the proactive management of water resources, will allow for water-wise usage, in line with the lowest tariff, which is slightly lower than the current, second lowest tariff level. . City projections also indicating the latest anticipated water usage patterns for the coming summer will be sufficient to allow the lowering of water and sanitation tariffs from the second lowest tariff to the lowest, no restriction water-wise tariff level. These tariffs are already part of the Council-approved budget for the 2020/’21 financial year, which followed due process including a public participation process.

No ‘Day Zero’ Cape Town Mayor Dan Plato said apart from the dams filling up to capacity and beyond in recent weeks, this is another moment to be celebrated in a few short years. “We have gone from the worst drought to face our city and a potential water ‘Day Zero’, to full dams and zero water restrictions besides the need to stay water-wise. We are situated in a water-scarce region so we will always need to ensure we are sustainable and future-fit. “While we need to continue to be mindful of climate uncertainty, residents who feel comfortable enough can begin to relax water-saving efforts in good conscience, while being water-wise, due to the significant increase in dam levels. “These anticipated movements in the warmer summer months have been factored into the latest anticipated usage patterns for lowering the tariffs from the current second lowest tariff level to the lowest, no restriction, water-wise tariff. “The tariff has already been approved by

Tariff drops explained The City’s Mayco member for water and sanitation, Xanthea Limberg, explained to TygerBurger what needs to be considered before a decision concerning tariff drops is made. “Tariffs are set according to anticipated consumption levels rather than dam levels. When setting tariffs the City looks at how much is likely to be sold and sets the price per unit to cover costs of providing the service for the coming financial year. “The City assures residents that we do not budget for a profit/surplus from the sale of water, and seeks to keep costs of service delivery as low as possible. It should be kept in mind that the cost of the water only forms a portion of what it costs to operate the service. “The total cost of running the water and sanitation service includes treatment, transporting of the water, maintenance, administration as well as cost flowing from upgrades to the system, which stay fairly similar no matter how much water is sold. “The water and sanitation service comprises substantial infrastructure that needs to be operated and maintained; 11 500km water network, 9 500km sewer infrastructure, 490 wastewater pump stations and 23 wastewater treatment works.”

“The dams reached 85% full towards the end of August already by which water restrictions governed by national government were automatically lifted as per written directive from the department of water and sanitation in 2017/’18. “Residents will be unpleasantly surprised to find only a 55c decrease per kilolitre in their water tariffs under this new ‘no restriction’ level. The decrease is even smaller for sanitation tariffs at 48c per kilolitre.”

What residents need to know about water tariffs: . City water costs on average 4c per litre in comparison to R10 per litre for shopbought bottled water. . Based on the first 10 500 litres of water used + 15mm meter the average bill will be R411,99 on the no restriction, water-wise tariff. This is compared to R785,38 under the Level 6B tariff at the peak of the drought. . The City’s water tariff, like some other metros, has a usage and a fixed part and it forms the total water tariff that covers the cost of providing water. This includes the maintenance of infrastructure and making sure Cape Town is resilient by adding new sources to its water supply and becoming a water-sensitive city. . The cost of providing the service remains largely the same regardless of how much or little water is used, or how full the dams are. . Residents who are registered as indigent do not pay the fixed basic part of the water tariff and receive a free allocation of water monthly. . The City does not budget for a profit/ surplus from the sale of water, and seeks to keep costs of service delivery as low as possible.

“This lowest tariff will offer residents some financial relief while ensuring we can still provide reliable water services and invest in new water sources.”

Tariffs welcomed Sandra Dickson of the civic action group Stop COCT said a decision could have been made sooner. “Stop COCT welcomes this tiny gesture from the City of Cape Town, but deplore the length of time it took the City to make such a basic and elementary decision.

What residents need to know about the no restriction, water-wise restriction level: . The water restrictions are lifted under this level, but permanent regulations as outlined in the water by-law still apply, regardless of the restriction level as Cape Town is situated in a water-scarce region. . For more information about the no restrictions “water-wise” restriction level and the permanent regulations that still apply, please visit www.capetown.gov.za/thinkwater.

Roadworks in Brackenfell Construction at the Belami Drive and Magnifica Street intersection has been underway since the City of Cape Town’s transport directorate commenced with the task on Monday 19 October. This is part of a road improvement project to upgrade this intersection from a stop street to a single-lane roundabout. The City says construction will take place in a phased approach to minimise disruptions to traffic. The construction takes place on weekdays between 08:00 and 17:00 and is expected to last for about eight weeks, depending on the weather. The upgrading will improve the traffic flow in the area as the new roundabout will enable free-flowing movement on Belami Drive and accommodate the increase in traffic in a more structured system. A new development will also have access from this circle. “The Belami Drive road upgrade is an example of how we are continuously implementing solutions to improve our road network and accommodate new developments. “Apart from ensuring access to the development, the upgrade will also assist with traffic flow in this area in general,” mayco member for transport, Felicity Purchase says. Road users should note that changes have been implemented for the duration of the roadworks. “Traffic on Belami Drive will be diverted from the existing lanes to the shoulders of the lanes. “Through-traffic on Belami Drive will be controlled by a stop-and-go system allowing one direction of traffic at a time, for approximately one week during the project.” Purchase further says that Magnifica Street to through-traffic close to the intersection with Belami Drive will be closed for three weeks from Friday 13 November. “Access will be provided from Cynaroides Avenue to the Capegate Lifestyle Centre and the Capegate Villas residential development.” All other traffic will be diverted through Nitida and Cynaroides avenues.

Addressing animal neglect by sterilisation D Eyevy as a puppy.

FROM PAGE 1 Genis says she has seen how much the staff cares for the animals. With an estimated 130 000 animals in Khayelitsha there is a dire need. “The clinic’s services are essential to help the pets of Khayelitsha, but the clinic has been hit hard by the pandemic. It lost significant funding, had increased expenses and was robbed three times during lockdown,” she said. “The really scary part is the impact it’s had on our individual donors,” says Du Plessis. “People have started cancelling their monthly debit orders, many of which bounced in difficult times. This income is our organisation’s lifeblood. We’re also concerned that corporates won’t donate in future due to the economic impact.”

The clinic recently launched its “Become a #PawMember” campaign, with a view to signing up 1 000 people to donate R100 per month. “If we can have 1 000 people signing up, our deficit will be covered,” says Du Plessis. Genis says her family adopted another dog, “Mia, a little white mongrel who is deaf” from Mdzananda. “Not a lot of people want to take a dog that has a disability or disfigurement, but we find the ones that need a little extra love always give a little more love.” V Visit www.mdzanandasecure.co.za or email info@mdzananda.co.za to sign up as a Paw Member, or visit www.mdzananda.co.za to find out more.

espite many obstacles such as the Covid-19 pandemic and load shedding, Fisantekraal Animal Welfare (FAW) has managed to sterilise more than 400 animals so far this year. In the latest sterithon, on Thursday 15 October – with veterinarians doing compulsory community service (CCS) – a total of 26 dogs were sterilised. According to Jenni Davies, spokesperson of FAW, the organisation focuses on sterilisations, as “the overpopulation of companion animals such as dogs and cats is the root cause of neglect. “Especially now that so many people are losing their jobs and simply cannot afford to feed them, we have unprecedented numbers of people asking for food for their pets, or even surrendering their pets. “FAW had planned the yearly total of sterilisations to be much higher, but Covid-19 and lockdown threw a spanner in the works. “Between January and September, FAW sterilised 390 animals, even though we had lockdown and could not work for over a month, and then had load shedding too. “We work only with volunteers, and have a couple of CCS vets. The group that did the sterilisations for us included ‘our’ CCS vets and some others who are not usually working with us but decided to donate their time off to assist.” Davies says there are many mis-

conceptions around the reproduction and sterilisation of animals. “Dogs generally go into season from around six months old (cats at around four months) and can get pregnant during their first season,” she said, “which can be detrimental to their health or they can even die. Dogs and cats can have babies from different fathers in one litter. Cats can even get pregnant while nursing a litter. “Dogs have around two litters per year; cats have two to three litters. Dogs can have multiple pups per litter. We have had cases where dogs had up to 16 puppies at once. Cats usually have two to six kittens, sometimes more. “If one imagines that each of those can go on to have more babies, and then these have their own, one can imagine why there is a problem with too many! There just aren’t enough good homes for so many animals. “Breeding is not ‘fun’ for the animals. We often see females in season running desperately to escape all the males. It is even worse when people tie up their dogs, then the poor things can’t even get away. “Males can get seriously injured as they can scent a female in season up to 5 km away and will do anything to get there – climbing walls, running into traffic and getting into fights with other dogs. “If they are confined or tied up they can become highly frustrated and start having behavioural is-

sues. “An unspayed cat will end up in a constant cycle of going into heat, and this is horrible for her and the owners. Unsterilised cats spray, fight, yowl and become a nuisance. “People think their dog or cat will be miserable if it is sterilised. Animals don’t need a ‘sex life’, and they won’t know any differently. They receive anaesthetics and pain medicine, so it doesn’t hurt them and they recover in no time at all. “Their personality will not change, they will still be good watchdogs – in fact, they are often better watchdogs, because they’re not distracted. They will not become aggressive or get fat. “Lastly, animals do not need to have one litter before they are sterilised. This myth has caused so much damage, and we wish people could move on. It is an ‘old wives’ tale’ and leads to suffering. “Except in a few exceptional cases, it is best to have them sterilised before their first season at around six months. This reduces chances of mammary cancer, prevents ovarian, uterine and testicular cancers and pyometra.” Davies urged people to consider making a donation towards sterilisation of animals in impoverished areas. V Anyone who wants to make a donation towards the sterilisation of animals can phone 062 258 3547 or send an email to info@faw.za.org.

Scottsville NPO celebrates World Food Day L

ocal non-profit organisation TWM Foundation celebrated World Food Day at its Scottsville offices on Friday 16 October. “The day is observed annually and is a celebration of the United Nations’ (UN) establishment of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation (UNFAO) in 1945,” TWM Foundation’s Rev Tanelle Welff-Dixon says. The theme for this year was “Grow, Nourish, Sustain. Together” which sought to get people to reflect on the things they cherish during the Covid-19 pandemic. “TWM Foundation has been distributing between 300 and 500 food parcels to needy communities, as well as other soup kitchens each week since the beginning of lockdown

in March,” Welff-Dixon explains. “The team of volunteers, made up of mainly unemployed men and women from the community, meet regularly to pack parcels.” He further says food parcels are a welcome sight for many desperate communities like Delft, Scottsville, Scottsdene, Parow, Belhar, Wesbank and Elsies River, among others. “The foundation is very appreciative of our donors’ kind support.” Running the TWM Foundation’s food ministry can be tough with our very limited resources, Welff-Dixon says. “We are appealing to individuals or companies for any further support, which we will appreciate.” V For more information, WhatsApp Welff-Dixon on 084 476 3793 or email president.twmf@gmail.com.

School hosts world-class sport C

urro Independent School in Durbanville presented world-class swimming clinics recently where learners got the chance to swim with some of our country’s aquatic champions. The school also appointed former Protea and coach Eric Simons as coaching consultant to upskill the Curro group of schools’ cricket coaches.

Swimming Curro Durbanville Aquatics recently hosted a four-day professional training clinic with Rocco Meiring, head coach, at the High Performance Sports Centre at the University of Pretoria. The clinic was the first of many to be held

by the swimming coach at the local swim club to help club members and coaches benefit from his expertise. During the clinic, the club’s swimmers trained alongside the Olympic qualifying breaststroke star Tatjana Schoenmaker, Ruan Ras (cancer-survivor and former SA Students competitor), Kristin Bellingan (a 2018 Commonwealth qualifier in the 400m and 800m freestyle), as well as Kiara Noades, a junior swimming champion. Schoenmaker shared words of encouragement with the swimmers and provided some insights on her international swimming experience.

coaching consultant coincides with two new indoor cricketing facilities being opened at Curro schools. Cricket players at Curro Hillcrest and Curro Durbanville will no longer be bound by the weather, seeing that these new indoor facilities include several bowling lanes, complete with gym facilities, as well as doctors and physio rooms. Simons will focus on improving the gener-

Replacement bins ‘are not to be paid for’ THABANG KUAHO @thab_journo

esidents whose wheely bins have been damaged by garbage collectors will not be required to pay for replacements, Mayco Member for Water and Sanitation Xanthea Limberg said. This follows a number of Northpine residents complaining over their damaged bins, allegedly caused by garbage collectors who do a rushed job while executing their duties. Limberg further says residents will be required to pay for the replacement of the bins if it is found that the damage was wil-

fully caused by them. “If bins are damaged, standard practice is that the residents report it via email along with their name and contact details, municipal account number as well as their residential address,” she explains. In addition to this, those reporting the issue should state whether they are renting and, if so, include a letter of authority from the owner or managing agent. “Residents will then be issued with a reference number and your new bin should be delivered within ten working days,” Limberg said. “The City will ensure waste is collected during the waiting period.” If garbage collectors are found guilty of

deliberately damaging the bins, Limberg says the City’s standard disciplinary process will be followed. Northpine resident Susan Solomons says garbage collectors she has interacted with have not shown any signs of aggression and are usually friendly. “They would sometimes come to collect bins unexpectedly,” she said, “and they would actually wait a few seconds more for someone to get their bin out if there was a request.” Solomons says people often have their days when they are going through a lot, so it is understandable that they are not as friendly as they usually are.

“Human nature allows us to be anti-social at times, and it is understandable.” TygerBurger made contact with two Northpine residents who have apparently had their bins damaged by garbage collectors and a meeting appointment was set up with one of them. The other could not be reached on the number they provided. The meeting with the former could not be held on the scheduled day, and requests to reschedule the appointment was declined. VFor more information or to request a replacement bin, email wastewise@capetown.gov.za or phone the City’s Call Centre on 0860 103 089.

Plagued by a smelly situation THABANG KUAHO @thab_journo

ffects of the recent land grabs in Kraaifontein pose a threat to the health of Wallacedene and Bloekombos residents, subcouncil 2 manager Brenda Hansen says. Hansen says two communities have, in recent weeks, continuously been flooded by sewerage as a result of overflowing drains. “The flooding is caused by illegal shacks that were built on vacant land, one of which is in Maroela Road,” Hansen says. “The shacks on Maroela Road in Wallacedene are built on land which hosts the sewer lines, therefore the free flow of sewerage is

interrupted and ends up on the streets.” Hansen also says a lot of stormwater drains across the two communities overflow as a result of blockages caused by some residents. “We have found many items that should not be disposed of in drains and this causes the blockages.” Hansen says good hygiene should be of utmost importance during the Covid-19 pandemic. The reason no property is being built on some City-owned land, Hansen says, is because the land is not conducive for construction. “The effects of these land grabs go beyond Wallacedene and Bloekombos and affects residents in other parts of Kraaifontein.

“We humbly plea with them to remove themselves so that conditions can improve.” Hansen further says most of the people on the invaded land are not registered on the City’s housing database. Lebalang Nkili erected a shack along Maroela Road after he could no longer afford to pay for his rented room nearby. He admits that the drain blockages are caused mostly by some residents. “Because this is an informal settlement, services are not provided to us. Some residents discard of their unwanted items wherever they see possible,” Nkili says. Furthermore, he says the lack of running water also affects sanitation of the area. “Most of us make use of buckets to relief ourselves and, because there is nowhere else to do this, we dispose off our ‘bowel products’ in the drains.” Another resident, Thandiwe Magagula, says she makes use of the toilet facilities

Maroela Road is filled with illegal shacks that apparently are built on the ground that hosts sewerage pipes underneath it. from nearby houses. “I agree that sanitation is a huge problem. I have health issues that require good hygiene and so I ask homeowners nearby to use their toilets whenever I need to.” VWhat is your opinion on this article? Let us know at briewe@tygerburger.co.za.

SLICE OF LIFE

Inperking vir Kersfees ons voorland Ek hoor onlangs iemand sê Kersfees moet ingeperk word. Dit is as ’n grap bedoel, maar soos ons almal weet drup menige grap van ’n bietjie waarheid. Die stelling het my aan die dink gesit. As iemand wat slaafs nuusgebeure volg, het ek gewoonlik darem ’n aanvoeling vir wat mag volg. Jy begin besef die gety is besig om te draai teen ’n spesifieke persoon in die nuus, of mense is besig om hul menings oor ’n sekere onderwerp te verander. Veral met sosiale media wat lopende kommentaar toelaat, kan ’n mens nogal redelik uitwerk waarheen dinge op pad is. Maar ek is al baie verras met hoe dinge uitspeel. Met die Amerikaanse presidentsverkiesing vier jaar gelede het ek gedog dis onmoontlik dat ’n vulgêre, taktlose werklikheidster sal seëvier teen ’n beroepspolitikus. Hier ter plaatse het ek ook nie gedink die ANC het die vermoë om van Nommer Een ontslae te raak nie. Vroeër vanjaar het ek ook my eie idee gehad van hoe 2020 sou uitspeel – planne vir kreatiewe projekte en reis was in die vooruitsig. Ja, ek het die tekens gesien van wat in lande soos Italië en Amerika aangaan, soos die koronavirus sy pad oor die aardbol gevind het. Maar het ek verwag dat ek sewe maande later in ’n hoekie van my voorkamer sal sit en werk? Dat ek sommige dae onderwyser moes wees? Dat ek oral waar ek gaan moet seker maak ek het my masker, en dat handreinigingsmiddel ’n permanente deel van die inkopies gaan word? Nee, ek het dit nie sien kom nie. Die tekens was daar, maar nooit het ek gedink dat Covid-19 ons lewens só drasties sal verander nie. Die laaste ruk lees ek gereeld waarskuwings oor die “tweede vlaag” van die virus wat op pad is. Dat dit gevaarliker as die “eerste vlaag” gaan wees. As jy vir TygerBurger werk, word daar van jou verwag om in die gemeenskappe te wees waaroor jy skryf – om ’n gevoel te kry van wat die hartklop van daardie gemeenskap is. Ek dek onder meer Eersterivier en Wesbank. As ek net kyk na wat ek om my sien, dan is ek bekommerd. Nie net oor myself en my gesin nie, maar vir die gemeenskap. Dit is amper soos om ’n ongeluk te sien gebeur, maar jy kan nie wegkyk of dit verhoed nie. Dis amper asof alles in stadige aksie afspeel: mense wat sonder maskers aan by winkels gehelp word; groot samekomste sonder enige gesonde afstand tussen die mense; die polisie wat kla dat daar meer dronk mense op straat is, ten spyte daarvan dat hulle nie oor naweke drank mag koop nie; skoolkinders sonder maskers wat in groot groepe saambeweeg; lang rye by winkels; taxi’s wat oorlaai is. Dit wil voorkom asof mense meen vlak een van inperking beteken die virus is ook op vlak een. Al wat vlak een beteken is dat sekere inperkings verslap is om die ekonomie van die land weer aan die gang te kry, nie dat die virus, om Donald Trump aan te haal, "wonderbaarlik gaan verdwyn” nie. Hoe meer onverantwoordelik ons gaan wees, hoe langer gaan ons nog moet maskers dra. En as voorspellings waar is, gaan dit ’n warm somer wees. Verbeel jou jy moet in 30 grade Celcius ’n masker dra? As ons nie versigtig is nie, gaan baie mense nog siek word en met ons gesondheidsdienste wat onder gewone omstandighede swak is, kan dit ’n tragedie wees. As ons só voortgaan gaan ons Kersfees ingeperk wees. – Brenden Ruiter

Kattekwaad lei tot erge buretwis Die artikel “Cats poisoned” (TygerBurger 14 Oktober) verwys. Die onlangse vergiftiging van katte is onrusbarend, wreed en onaanvaarbaar. Die vergiftiging van honde kan verstaan word, waar misdadigers ’n huis teiken en ’n hond in hul pad is. Die tergende vraag is waarom iemand katte sou vergiftig? Die debat rondom die vraag het verskeie uitgangspunte, maar verskeie nuut gepubliseerde wetenskaplike studies van huiskatte en hul gedrag bring ons by die werklikheid: As ons nie nou aandag aan die uitdaging gee nie, sal vergiftiging bly voorkom. As vertrekpunt sou dit wys wees om na die Stad Kaapstad se verordening (2010) te kyk wat die aanhou van diere reguleer. Dis duidelik dat die verantwoordelikheid en aanspreeklikheid by die aanhou van honde en katte verskil. In kort, ’n hondeienaar is wetlik verplig om sy hond binne sy erf te hou. Sodra hy openbare eiendom betree, moet dit onder die beheer van sy eienaar wees en aan ’n leiband wees. ’n Hondeienaar is verantwoordelik vir sy hond se gedrag en kan aanspreeklik gehou word vir die “skade” wat sy hond mag aanrig. ’n Kateienaar aan die ander kant het geen verantwoordelikheid om sy kat tot sy erf te beperk nie. ’n Kat hoef ook nie onder beheer van sy eienaar te wees as hy openbare eiendom betree nie en soos dit tans staan, is ’n kateienaar ook nie verantwoordelik vir die “skade” wat sy kat aanrig nie, mits binne ’n siviele regsgeding. Katte en honde is nie dieselfde nie, en daarom kan geredeneer word waarom daar ’n verskil is in eienaars se verantwoordelikheid. Katte vang muise en rotte en hou ’n pesbeheervoordeel in. Verkeerd. Die jongste navorsing wys katte sal ’n muis per

geleentheid vang, maar vir rotte is hulle maar skrikkerig, terwyl ander inheemse spesies deurloop en gevolglik is katte verantwoordelik vir grootskaalse omgewingskade. Die impak van huiskatte op verkleurmannetjies, akkedisse en tuinvoëls, is angswekkend. Die omgewingsimpak van katte bring ’n nuwe dimensie tot die debat, wat ons opnuut dwing om te kyk na verantwoordelike kateienaarskap binne die raamwerk van die wet. Het jy al blomme in jou beddings geplant en met katmis in aanraking gekom en die stank daarvan verduur? Het jy al op ’n warm somersnag wakker geword van ’n mannetjieskat wat deur jou venster gekom het en jou huis en gordyne besproei het en jy nie van die reuk ontslae kan raak nie? Het jy ’n voëlvoerder in jou tuin en telkemale sien jy hoe ’n kat jou tuinvoëls wat jy voer, vang. As die voorgenoemde vir jou bekend klink en jy nie eens die eienaar van ’n kat is nie, is dit hier waar kattekwaad kan lei tot buretwis. As ’n mens dan die kat kan identifiseer en weet wie die eienaar is, en die eienaar nader, is die reaksie gewoonlik een van die volgende: Jammer, maar dis nie moontlik om my kat net in die huis te hou nie; jy weet hulle loop rond, veral in die nag. Meneer, plaas jou voëlvoerder só dat my kat dit nie kan bereik nie. Die werklikheid is dat kateienaars verwag dat jy op jou erf op jou koste voorsiening moet maak om hul katte van jou erf te hou. Niemand se vryheid kan so ver strek dat dit ’n ander se vryheid oorskry of inperk nie. So dis hier waar mense uit radeloosheid hulle wend tot metodes wat onaanvaarbaar en wreed is, en dis nie die kat se skuld nie. Gekyk na gepubliseerde navorsing is ’n huiskat niks

anders as ’n miniatuur mak “leeu” nie. Die katte wat in navorsing gemonitor is, is goed versorg en gevoed, maar hul instinktiewe gedrag, spesifiek om te “jag”, het nou ’n omgewingsrisiko vir ander inheemse diere geword. Wetenskaplik, as gekyk word na ’n huiskat, is dit nie ’n inheemse spesie nie en kan katte werklik geklassifiseer word as ’n “wilde dier”, want dit is die gedrag wat hulle natuurlik openbaar en hulle ’n kat maak. In vergelyking met ander wilde diere kan ’n mens redeneer dat jy ’n permit moet hê om ’n kat te kan aanhou as gevolg van die “wilde” natuur. Die instink om te jag, het niks te doen met “honger” nie, maar is eie aan hul gedrag. As ’n gedeelte van die oplossing sou die eerste vertrekpunt wees om die munisipale verordening te wysig en meer verantwoordelike en aanspreeklike kateienaarskap te inkorporeer. Kateienaars, net soos hondeienaars, moet verplig word om hul katte te beperk tot hul eienaars se eiendom. As ’n kateienaar nou sou redeneer dat dit te veel sou kos om dit te doen en onprakties is, jammer. Hondeienaars moes nog altyd die verantwoordelikheid en gepaardgaande koste dra. So as jy dit nie kan bybring nie, kan jy ongelukkig nie ’n kat aanhou nie. Die tyd het gekom om kateienaarskap in heroorweging te bring. Birdlife SA is tans besig om sy beleid rondom huiskatte as gevolg van hul omgewingsimpak te hersien. Ek het ’n skrywe aan ons DA-verteenwoordiger, Marian Nieuwoudt, gerig in die verband, om te verneem wat die proses is wat gevolg moet word om die wysiging van ’n verordening te versoek, maar het nog geen antwoord gekry nie. Wehahn Geldenhuys E-pos

Padtekens vir pret gevandaliseer Gisteraand het ons ’n lawaai buite gehoor en toe ons uitkyk, sien ons sowat vier kinders, waaronder ook ’n meisie, op die hoek van Skaamrosie- en Klipkersstraat in Proteavallei – besig om ’n stopteken uit die grond te ruk en onder groot gelag weg te dra. Is dit die soort “grap” wat ons as wetsgehoorsame burgers in ons woonbuurt moet verduur as die Stadsraad se eiendom teen belastingbetalersgeld gevandaliseer word? Die sekerheidspersoneel wat rondtes in die buurt ry, het daarop afgekom. Ons weet presies uit watter huis die sondaars kom. Vanoggend lê die stopteken op sy sy op die sypaadjie op die oorkantse straathoek – verlate en vergete, met die risiko dat voertuie nie by die stop gaan stilhou nie. BEKOMMERD Proteavallei

Skrywers hou van stembande rek Baie mense kla oor enkele goed, soos die inwoner van Bellville oor blaffende honde. Ja, my kleintjie is al lankal dood oor die bure wat skynbaar nie hul eie honde hoor nie. Hulle lees ook ongelukkig nie die TygerBurger nie. Ek woon baie naby die Kuilsrivier. Dit is ’n nes wat niemand raaksien nie, buiten die inbrekers en bergies. Jy kan ’n prys wen as jy ’n council werker daar sien werk. Die vullis-“brigade” is ook Maandae doenig om jou sypaadjie met jou eie vullis te bestrooi. Die donkiekarre ry tuinvullis van een erf, waar hulle betaal word, tot ’n volgende erf, waar hulle dit neersmyt. Met my eie oë gesien! Einde van die maand is dit ’n posman met die erfbelastingrekening. STANLEY KRUSE Soneike

24th outage completed at Koeberg T

he 24th outage of Unit 2 of the Koeberg Nuclear Power Station was completed on Wednesday, 21 October. In a statement, Eskom explained the unit is currently synchronised onto the grid and will load up to full capacity by this week. “This will give Eskom a reliable electricity output of approximately 900MW for close on 400 days, helping ease the supply constraints on the rest of the power station fleet. Unit 1 continues to operate as normal at full

capacity, and is scheduled for a refuelling and maintenance outage starting in February 2021. The outage at Unit 2 – the 24th since it first started to generate electricity – was also a planned and regular refuelling outage, where the nuclear fuel in the reactor core was replaced with new fuel. During operations like these, all the nuclear fuel is removed from the core, the reactor cavity is drained and cleaned whereafter it

is refilled before the fuel is placed into the core. Eskom further explained that during the outage, routine maintenance was performed on the plant to keep the station performing safely and optimally. “While many maintenance activities can be performed without switching off the station, there are some more intrusive activities that can only be performed when the unit is shut down.”

Koeberg staff performed the refuelling and maintenance, with the assistance of 32 international specialists required to safely perform some specialist and very focused maintenance tasks. “These crews arrived in South Africa starting on 31 July, and followed all the Covid-19 protocols, including Covid-19 screening and testing, and quarantine. “The outage began on 11 August,” Eskom explained in its statement.

Besoek fees in jou eie motor PJ Powers tree op saam met die Tygerberg-kinderkoor op Saterdag 14 en Sondag 15 November.

ArtsAbility’s focus is on inclusivity.

ArtsAbility festival online The ArtsAbility Festival, presented annually by Unmute Dance Company, is an inclusive arts festival for both disabled and able-bodied artists and performers. This year the festival moves online offering a free virtual experience from Tuesday 3 November until Thursday 3 December. It pays tribute to the International Day of People with Disability (IDPWD), which is celebrated in December. Under the overarching theme “Spaces and Homes Invasion Festival of Transmission (Shift) Online” it is using the virtual space to increase the usually six-day event to a month-long online festival. “The theme is striving to return to the core value of the original focus of taking inclusivity in the arts to community spaces and people, says Nadine McKenzie, Unmute artistic director. “This year, with the virtual innovation, Unmute has taken the opportunity presented by a monthlong event to incorporate many more artists and performances.” She says the festival’s objectives are three-fold. Firstly, to provide exposure for young inclusive artists who are already

producing works in communities. Then, to provide a platform for collaborative works between South African, African and global inclusive artists. Lastly, to provide learning opportunities through the Access Lecture, Inclusive Webinars, Sign Language lessons, Integrated Dance workshop programmes. The golden thread running through ArtsAbility 2020 is Unmute’s vision of inclusivity, accessibility and integration. One of the highlights is Access Denied; a video presentation where three artists from Unmute Dance Theatre explores the different accessibility challenges these artists deal with daily. Through their art, the artists interrogate the discriminations they experience. To create clarity for the viewers, ArtsAbility 2020 has been divided into daily subthemes. Each day will offer a different performance or learning opportunity, with some performances only online for 24 hours. A series of lectures and workshops will be taking place over the course of the month. V Visit www.artsability.com for more info.

Enter filmmaking competition Applications for South Africa’s first-ever online mobile phone movie making film festival are now open – and as the name suggests, anyone using a smartphone, tablet, drone or action camera can enter. The Mobile Moviemakers Film Festival Cape Town by MMOCA was devised as a way to empower any person with a smart recording device to tell the stories never heard before. MMOCA is an initiative by the Belgian Chamber of Commerce in South Africa and is powered by the Belgian Consulate in Cape Town, Flanders, Wallonia-Bruxelles International, Flemish Investment and Trade organisation as well as the Wallonia Trade & Investment organisation. The inspiration behind the mobile fes-

tival stems from a need for change. While traditional filmmaking emphasises the big, latest technology cameras and sound equipment, this festival hopes to reach a much bigger group of aspiring filmmakers. “It’s all about storytelling and not the size of your camera,” explains festival director, Dominique Vandenhoudt. Entry into the competition is R100, but students gain free entry. Entries include documentary, fiction or advertisement and close on Friday 13 November.Winners will receive a production grant of R10 000 and a jury-prize of R5 000. The festival will end off with a Red Carpet-style awards night at the Belgian House in Cape Town. V To submit your entry, visit https://belgianchambersa.co.za/mmoca/

Local stories need to be told and MMOCA wants to hear them. Aspiring filmmakers and storytellers are encouraged to enter the Mobile Moviemakers Film Festival Cape Town, an initiative by the Belgian Chamber of Commerce in South Africa.

Two years of ‘tiny owls’ celebrated ESMÉ ERASMUS

strong desire by a Durbanville couple to see children in need being placed in loving families – after having four of their own and adopting three more – led to the founding of the Tiny Owls Baby Home, a temporary safe home for abandoned babies in the Western Cape. The story of the home began two years ago, on 15 October, when its founders Kim and Wayne Allen took a small baby boy into their arms and hearts. This was the first baby they received after starting a home for babies at their home in Durbanville, converting their triple garage into a nursery. Within two months the nursery was filled to the maximum with six babies. The four biological children of Kim, CEO of Tiny Owls, and Wayne, who works in financial administration and runs the NPO Chanan54, are 12, 14, 17 and 19 years old. “We planned to have four children,” Kim said. “Around the time of our youngest child’s birth a close friend of ours adopted their first child. We were deeply impacted by this and felt God was moving on our hearts to adopt a child. “When our young domestic worker’s sister and brother-in-law passed away and left two orphaned children behind she was overwhelmed, and not equipped to raise them. We reached out to help her, and the children landed up staying with us, on and off, for about two years. “The desire to adopt became stronger. After two years the social workers, who were assisting us in looking after the children, found the children’s paternal grandmother, who requested they live with her. “A few days after the two children were sent back to their grandmother, the social worker contacted us to ask if we would be willing to adopt two baby boys. “We were thrilled, for we knew the timing was right. Not even a week later our two beautiful boys came home. They are now 10 years old. A few years later we decided to

PHOTOS: MALAN LOUW adopt a little girl. “After adopting our little girl we still desired strongly to see children in need being placed in loving families. We knew that as a family we were at full capacity, so decided to start the baby home to assist with the safety, care and adoption of vulnerable babies in need of care.” The Allens have been vetted and trained by social workers to be temporary safetycare parents. “We work directly with both private and state social workers, who contact us when a baby is in need of safety care,” Kim says on the Tiny Owls website. “The social workers are themselves notified of babies through various channels. “Most of the babies we receive are either abandoned or relinquished due to extreme poverty, substance abuse or rape. They arrive generally no more than a few days old and stay for an average of six months. “Due to their difficult start in life some babies have ailments or trauma, which require special medical attention.” She and Wayne work closely with social workers, physiotherapists and occupational therapists in assessing the babies physical

The importance of hand hygiene Global Handwashing Day was celebrated recently and, according to medical practitioners, the regular practice of washing hands is an important way to help prevent the spread of the Covid-19 virus. By doing so everyone protects themselves and their loved ones, says Dr Nosi Kalawe, who forms part of the Northern Tygerberg Covid-19 response team. She says everyone should stick to the rule of washing hands regularly, wearing masks and practising social distancing. It is also important that people also avoid as much as possible super-spreader settings, such as crowded places, confined spaces and close contact with others. Kalawe points out that hands are one of the main means by which germs are spread, and shared some useful tips on keeping safe: . Open the tap and wet your hands, after which you rub soap from palm to palm. . The right palm washes the back of the left hand, and the left palm washes the back of the right, fingers interlaced. . Wash your hands again palm to palm, fingers interlaced. . Wash your knuckles over the opposing palms, and do the same on the other side, fingers interlocked. . Wash your left thumb in rotational movements, and do the same on the other thumb. . Clasp the fingers and rub the tips circularly over the opposite palm. . Rub each of the wrists with a hand, rinse and wipe your hands. Kalawe says germs can spread by touching raw meat, which has germs, and then contaminating other raw foods such as vegetables, touching one’s mouth, nose, ears, eyes and other areas, and/or

Dr Nosi Kalawe demonstrates how one should wash one’s hands in order to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. other people afterwards. Also, touching animals or cleaning animal urine or faeces, and touching surfaces or people, nursing the sick or babies and transferring the virus to surfaces or others. Then there’s not washing hands when coming out of the toilet and touching surfaces or food, sneezing, coughing, singing and talking. Also, shaking hands when greeting . People experiencing a fever, cough, sore throat, shortness of breath or a loss of taste or smell can call the provincial government’s health toll-free hotline, 080 928 4102, or WhatsApp (word “Hi”) to 0600 123 456. In northern Tygerberg call 021 815 8889 or 021 915 8892 to self-isolate. Or, email Malinda.Ferreira@westerncape.gov.za or Jerome.Samson@westerncape.gov.za.

and emotional health. “Where necessary we have had specialised paediatric biokineticists on site to ensure the milestones are reached and providing therapy to correct problem areas,” Kim said. “One of our babies who was initially placed in the special-needs category (which reduces their chances of being placed) has been declared as no longer having special needs due to the therapy interventions.” The Tiny Owls team is made up of nine women who work in two teams of three day staff and two night staff, all trained in child

care and emergency medical interventions. They are also undergoing continuous job training. “The dedication of our staff was clearly demonstrated during lockdown, when travel to work was impossible,” Kim said. Two of the staff, who are sisters, moved into the baby home for those five weeks, taking turns to look after the babies. “They took breaks only to shower, sleep and eat,” said Kim. “It is rare to see such dedication anywhere.” Over the last two years Tiny Owls Baby Home had 21 little bundles of joy in its loving care. Of these, three were reunited with their families, one baby was placed with a foster family and 11 babies were adopted. “Each baby’s placement into his or her family is beautiful to witness,” Kim pointed out. “Our favourite so far though was our first baby’s adoption placement. When he arrived at the baby home he had numerous special medical needs, including palsy in his one arm. He was unable to use the arm and the prognosis was not good. “Through many hours of extra medical care and the staff’s dedication, he fully recovered. He was placed in a loving home in Norway, and is thriving. The staff also learnt with his placement how difficult it would be to say goodbye to a baby. Many of the staff cried for days after he left.” V Visit www.tinyowls.org.za for more information or follow them on Facebook and Instagram.

New mobile appointment service for day hospitals Residents in the Northern and Tygerberg communities now have access to a mobile appointment service for day hospitals. A statement by the provincial department of health explains that the service allows residents to easily make an appointment from home when they need to visit the health facility by either sending a Please Call Me, calling the number, or sending an SMS or WhatsApp message. “Usually, people who need health care and do not have an appointment, would arrive at the clinic and will have to wait to be assisted. With the new system, they can avoid long queues and waiting times by booking an appointment from home. They will be offered a date and time at their clinic and only have to wait 15 to 30 minutes before their appointment,” it reads. Valhalla Park resident Xandile Xabela says he is pleased with the new appointment service. He used the service to make an appointment at the Bishop Lavis Community Day Centre. “I like the service very much. It was easy and convenient to make my appointment.” Administration clerk Nazeera Vlotman has been working at the Bishop Lavis CDC

for more than 10 years and has welcomed the implementation of the new service. “The service has been going well so far. Previously patients without appointments would wait really long to see a clinician. The new appointment line allows them to make an appointment and visit us later in the day, for instance, they can be booked for 14:00 and arrive 30 minutes before their appointment instead of sitting at the facility from 07:00 in the morning to get help. The following numbers can be used to contact the facilities: . Bothasig CDC: 079 530 1727; . Durbanville CDC: 079 461 9473; . Kraaifontein CHC: 079 530 1894; . Scottsdene CDC: 079 471 3491; .

Businessmen inspired at meeting ESMÉ ERASMUS

message of hope to local business people for the recovery of business after Covid-19 has been shared by James Vos, City of Cape Town’s Mayco member for economic opportunities and asset management. Vos was the guest speaker at the first meeting of Durbanville Business since lockdown, which was held at Durbanville Hills Winery last Tuesday (20 October). Several business sectors in Cape Town offer opportunities, he said at the meeting. “I can honestly say that there has never been a better time to invest in Cape Town. “Last year alone, R2.6 billion worth of investment was secured, 5 720 jobs were created and 2 048 people were trained by the City’s Special Business Partners (SBPs). This illustrates the power of partnerships between the City and the SBPs we fund. “As a city, we focus our energy on attracting investment which creates jobs and leads to economic growth. It is vital that we implement plans that are proven to work, which bring in investment, and develop the right skills pipelines for the high-growth sectors,” Vos said. “Cape Town is fast becoming the call centre hub on the continent and supports almost 60 000 jobs. That is why the City provides funding to one of our Strategic Business Partners, CapeBPO, to upskill and place residents in this sector,” he said. “Besides Amazon’s investment into data centres, they have also been expanding the call centre side of their business in Cape Town. “Amazon’s web services are also to relocate to Cape Town and will have an employment benefit, he said. Besides Amazon’s investment into data centres, they have also been expanding the

call centre side of their business in Cape Town. Amazon is not the only international company expanding its call centre footprint in Cape Town, according to Vos, as over 5 000 new jobs in the international call centre industry were created last year. One of the world’s largest pharmaceutical and biotech companies, Roche, began construction in February in Brackenfell. Vos said it wa now his job to expand operations of Hisense, a Chinese multinational major appliance and electronics manufacturing company in Atlantis, in Cape Town for export services to Africa. “To co-ordinate and streamline the City’s economic response to the Covid-19 pandemic, I established the economic task team, which formulated the City’s economic action plan. This team is currently implementing several steps as a part of this plan to get our economy back to business,” he said. “About 26 industrial areas work closely with existing industrial areas to retain, but also to expand business during lockdown.” Cape Town has the second-largest boat building industry, specifically catamarans, in the world, Vos said. “We must ensure they stay open and operational for the export market,” Vos said. “Several clothing and textile industries faced closure. We helped them to manufacture safety gear such as face masks to avoid further layoffs,” Vos said. “We work hard to establish South Africa’s aviation footprint with new routes. One of

the most exciting was a direct flight from New York to Cape Town, which will open the North-American market. On 16 December last year, we had the first flight arriving in Cape Town. We want to reestablish this route. Next year we will see the first direct flight from Portugal to Cape Town. “The next exciting step is to grow Cape Town’s cargo footprint for export, he said. “South Africa has the fastest-growing green economy on the African Continent, has the only Greentech SEZ in Africa, the Atlantis Special Economic Zone, we are also the Green Tech hub of the continent, as well as the leading health tech hub,” he said. “Four companies are now signing an agreement to work in green tech manufacturing. This is a very exciting opportunity. “The film and media industry is also a huge money-spinner. The Good Hope Centre in Cape Town signed an agreement with an American film studio for the production of TV series. The entire centre will be used as a film studio,” Vos said. “Ships, boats and floating structures were Cape Town’s seventh-largest value export in 2018 and the industry currently employs around 5 000 people and we are the secondlargest producer of multihull catamarans in the world. “In May this year, I had the pleasure of announcing the formation and partnership with a new Strategic Business Partner (SBP), Blue Cape. “Blue Cape has been established to ensure

“Last year alone, R2.6 billion worth of investment was secured, 5 720 jobs were created and 2 048 people were trained by the City’s special business partners.”

economic growth, job creation and social upliftment by investing in skills development and policy advocacy in the oceans economy. This SBP, with funding support from the City, will focus on marine manufacturing including boat building, superyachts and ocean sports. Specifically, Blue Cape will manage a database of vetted superyacht suppliers and will develop training materials and career pathways, facilitate internships and job creation,” he said. “Tourism is important for Cape Town and offers an R18 billion per year income. It is an important sector and was the hardest hit by lockdown. Now the hard work to rebuild begins. “We want to market Cape Town not only as a tourism destination but also a business destination.” This includes marketing Cape Town as a remote work destination, a study destination “with our world-class study institutions”, as a place of play and adventure, a place to invest and buy property in, and also to invest business here, Vos said. “We want tourists to spend more time and money in Cape Town and is on the last to sign an agreement with cruise liners to use Cape Town as a departure destination in the coming cruise season. “We want to get more cruise liners to spend more time in Cape Town, to dock longer or to start their cruises here,” he said. Vos has approached events companies to stage their events in Cape Town. The Formula E motorsport championship is one of the big experiences which will happen in Cape Town, he said. “Miss South Africa was presented in Cape Town, which brought us many global eyeballs. “Cape Town can also be a destination for medical care. People come here for operations and to recover at our world-class medical facilities,” he said.

Baseball unions plan for a safe return EARL HAUPT @earlhaupt

s the Los Angeles Dodgers and Tampa Bay Rays continue their battle for the Commissioner’s Trophy across the Atlantic Ocean in Texas, plans are afoot locally to pave the way for a safe return to baseball activity. Following extensive meetings by the South African Baseball Union (Sabu) and its constituents last week, the Cape Town Baseball Federation (CTBF) held its annual general meeting (AGM) on Sunday 18 October in Claremont to discuss the way forward after studying Sabu’s recommendations. In a letter addressed to provincial and district federations, the South African Baseball Union outlined a three-phase approach to the resumption of activities under the national lockdown level one. They are: . The preparation of baseball facilities. This excludes any playing activity. . The start-up of baseball activities, which includes practising, but no matches or competition. . The return to full activity. “Provincial and district federations and clubs are hereby authorised to gain/request access to baseball facilities under SA Baseball phase one – preparation of baseball activities providing that any local regulations are complied with,” said Sabu president Marc Moreau. “The main objectives of South African Baseball Union under the three-phase approach is to comply with any national, provincial and local health and safety regulations and rules as well as any additional measures required to ensure the safety and well being of all baseball activities and stakeholders.” Moreau adds: “The South African Baseball Union will issue separate authorisation letters for phase two and phase three to

The general view of the baseball diamond at Durbanville Baseball Club as the grounds are being prepared for a safe return to activity. its resumption of Baseball activities.” As a result, the CTBF has instructed clubs to prepare their facilities with a deadline of Sunday 31 October set for clubs to inform CTBF of their readiness to be inspected. Further to that, a newly established CTBF task team will meet with Sabu to discuss the recommendations for the second phase of a return to action, according to CTBF public relations officer Deidré Marquard, who adds that CTBF has provided clubs with a 32-page document with guidelines for them to adhere to before moving onto the next phase. The guidelines include the establishment of a compliance officer by every club, the screening and testing of players and officials as well as the keeping of a health protocol register. Once clubs are given the go-ahead to return to training, clubs are advised to conduct staggered training sessions in order to limit the number of players on the field at any time and that a maximum of two teams can occupy a single field where a 100m² field can be divided into two training areas. All equipment, whether they share or privately owned, must be sanitised between uses and while no spectators are permitted

at any senior matches or training, parents of players in junior teams will have to abide by Covid-19 protocols when in attendance and players are encouraged not to use change rooms. All should adhere to physical distancing and adopt the principle: “Get in, train, get out”. A series of controls have also been put in place at baseball facilities. Players are to

Power Series continues to thrill at Killarney Killarney International Raceway’s motorsport fans, globally watching the event via live stream, were treated to a glimpse of what international sports and GT class racing is like at Round 5 of the Power Series on Saturday 24 October, in the headline Ons Huisie 100, over 31 laps or 101.27km. To the surprise of many, what was expected to be something of a tactical contest with slick fuel stops and driver changes turned out to be a foot-flat 31 lap sprint. None of the cars made a pit stop and their lap times were only marginally slower, if at all than in a normal 10 lap sprint race. Steve Humble romped away to lights-toflag win, setting the fastest lap of the race (and the day), a blistering 1 min 10.509sec, just short of the halfway point on lap 15. He came under a serious challenge in the early stages, however, from Josh Broome, who managed to stay in touch until the Ra-

dical went sick on lap 23. Nevertheless, Broome had done enough to be classified in the results and, as the only Class A entry, duly won his class. With Broome out, second overall went to Class B hotshot Gary Kieswetter, just one lap down on Humble after 37 minutes of superb action, with Martin Pugh’s Appleberry CanAm third overall and second in Class B. The biggest field of the day, however, rolled out for the two Mikes Place Clubmans races, with 31 cars on the grid. Race 1 was a classic as Danie van Niekerk, Brennon Green, Basie Burger and Cody Alberts battled it out for the lead. In the end, however, none of the three challengers could get quite close enough to make a move on Van Niekerk, who came home less than half a second ahead of Green, with Alberts a surprise third, 1.49sec further adrift, after Burger dropped

back in the final two laps. Van Niekerk made a poor start in Race 2, lying third after the opening lap behind Burger and Green. He moved up to second when Burger slowed on lap four and dropped out a lap later, but was unable to close in on Green, who finished just over a second ahead of Van Niekerk, with Alberts third, six seconds further back. Franco Donadio romped away to win the first Bejo Trustees Fine and Millstock Classic Cars race by more than eight seconds from fellow Class A competitor Eric van der Merwe after the latter moved up to pass Class S leader Trevor Momberg at half distance. Race 2 saw closer results all round, as Donadio slowed by about a second a lap, allowing Van der Merwe to close to within half a second at the flag. Momberg, Forbes and Honeywill took the next three places.

Right on cue as pool breaks the cycle of crime SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS @samantha_lee121 A plan to eradicate the lure of gangsterism for youngsters include cues, a felt table and 16 polished balls. This is the aim of the Innovative Consistent Upliftment Pool Union (ICUPU) who launched the first of many events in Heideveld on Saturday 24 October. Noticing the power of the fairly unrecognised formal sporting code, Denver Pienaar founded the Intelligent Creative Unit (ICU) Pool Club in Matroosfontein with his son in mind. After reaching out to other clubs in areas such as Ravensmead, Eureka Estate and Heideveld, Pienaar says they saw a common goal and established the union which they hope will be recognised in the sporting code. Their first event was a junior pool tour-

nament at the Peak Pool Club’s home base in Devil’s Peak Road, Heideveld. Toyer Samuels of the Peak Pool Club says they started the club to keep children out of the grasp of gangsterism but, unfortunately, the lure is too great for some. “In Heideveld, there is a lot of gangsterism. From young ages, children are swearing. You do not get the respect from them. This is something that changed that. It even changed our own home,” he says. Losing children to gangsterism from pre-teen ages in Heideveld is common but Samuels is not about to let that happen to his young son. When the opportunity to revive pool in Heideveld was presented by Pienaar, who suggested the tournament, Samuels joined the union. “Through pool, we saw discipline. In pool, there is great respect. This is what we want to bring back to Heideveld. Get

prepare their own meals before arriving at a facility as no meals will be prepared or sold at facilities. They are also instructed not to share water bottles, with clubs required to have a dedicated isolation area available to any person who may be displaying Covid-19 symptoms. Meanwhile, the City of Cape Town has confirmed that their sports facilities are available for booking through the normal booking procedures, but that they are required to complete a Covid-19 declaration form. The City still reserves the right to terminate access and usage in the event of non-compliance by any sports body. “We, therefore, ask for your patience and understanding where facilities are not available at this initial stage of opening up. Sporting bodies must therefore consult and familiarise themselves with the content of the level one regulations and the directions to ensure compliance with all legislative, operational, health and safety protocols prescribed therein,” states the head of programmes, events and partnerships within the recreation and parks department, Franklin Anthony, in a letter addressed to all sporting bodies.

the children off the streets and playing pool, that their parents know where they are,” he says. “Children today are not raised the way we grew up. They can do nothing without fighting but I believe this will bring a change. Everyone is excited and curious,” he says. Financial constraints is another factor that affects attendance, says Samuels, something they try to overcome through their own funding. His siblings, Moosa and Mariam Samuels, all started playing with their brother Toyer and recall how the game brings children and families together. Mariam says the benefits of the game is lost because it is not recognised as a formal sporting code at the same level of soccer and cricket, something they hope can change. Her son is one of the players from Peak Pool Club who has played more pro-

Jurie Swart, Colin Meder and Jason Coetzee made the GTi challenge races their own with two exciting tussles at the sharp end. In the first, Swart led home Meder by three seconds with Coetzee less than half a second further adrift, followed by Dillon Joubert and Charl Visser. Race 2 was just as close, as Swart led home Coetzee and Meder, all three crossing the line within less than three seconds, followed by Visser, Joubert and Thompson. In Class C Dario Busi in the Automan Golf bounced back from a disappointing Race 1 to ace Class C in 12th overall. Fabio Tafani showed why his V8 Masters car carries the No.1 plate with a well-judged win in the first V8 Masters and Makita Formula Supercars race, ahead of arch-rival Marcel Angel and veteran Richard Schreuder. Late entry David McFadden delivered a master class in racecraft with two superb wins in the RST Suzuki South Superbike races, chased home in each case by Kewyn Snyman, who is improving with every outing.

fessionally. Pienaar says in many areas, the socioeconomic problems with gangsterism and crime are the same and the benefits of establishing the pool union will appeal to all communities plagued by these ills. “We realise our visions and goals are the same and this is the first of many events. What we are establishing here we will replicate in other communities,” he says. “The sporting code is very diversified. There are so many variations of pool that it can appeal to many. Everything we do now, we are doing from our own pockets. We do not have any sponsors.” Their next step is to also establish a women’s league which will train and encourage girls to play the game as well. The goal is to create a new breed of quality players from communities, hosting events in the communities, rather than at big pool halls that costs teams a lot of money. The tournament was won by ICU Pool Club who beat Vipers 1 11 to 8.

ACKERMAN CHAMPIONSHIP: SECOND TITLE IN FOUR YEARS

Kaylah holes out for win D

urbanville-based golfer Kaylah Williams put the perfect exclamation mark on her final competitive appearance for the 2020 season with a victory in the prestigious Ackerman Championship. The 18-year-old fashioned a blistering closing loop of 31 strokes, featuring an eagle and four birdies in the final round at Clovelly Country Club on Sunday 18 October to win by seven shots from Ekurhuleni’s Nadia van der Westhuizen. Her six-under-par 210 triumph marked a welcome return to the winner’s circle for the GolfRSA Elite Squad member since her Pro Shop Gauteng Open victory in May last year. “It feels absolutely fantastic to lift a trophy again, especially in my last ranking event for the season,” said Williams. “With the matric finals just around the corner, this was my last event and I really, really wanted to finish the season on a high note. I am extremely proud to have done just that.” Williams, who is a learner at Fairmont High School, was only 14 when she lifted the sought-after Gus Ackerman Trophy for the first time, but she was just as thrilled the second time around to add her name to a win-

ner’s list that includes SA Golf Hall of Famers Wendy Warrington and Gilly Tebbutt, Ladies European Tour winner Ashleigh Buhai, Sunshine Ladies Tour champions Bertine Strauss, Nobuhle Dlamini and Carrie Park and former SA Women’s Match Play champion Cara Gorlei. “It’s a huge honour to put my name on this list twice, because the Ackerman Championship is one of the oldest and most esteemed events on the Western Province Golf calendar and one of those events that has gained huge national support,” Williams said. “We are so grateful to the Ackerman family and Pick n Pay for sponsoring the Ackerman Championship for the last 40 years and for their continued support of amateur golf in the Western Province. “I also owe a big debt of gratitude to Womens Golf Western Province for pulling me into their High Performance Squad, Womens Golf South Africa for all the opportunities they have given me through the GolfRSA Elite Squad and my family and coach for always having me back. “It’s a great feeling to pay back all the trust and energy that they have all invested in me.”
