MID looks to expandNICOLE MCCAIN

Residents of the Wherry Road trianglecould soon be enjoying the benefits ofan improvement district.
The Muizenberg Improvement District(MID) is planning to expand its borders toinclude Clevedon, Cromer, Henley andWherry roads.
The MID board receives ongoing requestsfrom residents in the Wherry Road trianglewho feel they are missing out on the benefitsenjoyed by properties inside the MID bound-ary and often question why they were not in-cluded from the start, explains LesleySchroeder, MID stakeholder engagement di-rector and deputy chair.
“The current board was not part of that de-cision making process but we’ve listenedand spent substantial time looking at the fea-
sibility of a boundary extension and prepar-ing the documentation. Now the decisionrests with the property owners,” she says.
There are approximately 90 properties inthe Wherry triangle, made up mainly of resi-dential homes and some blocks of flats.
Expanding the MID’s boundary is alengthy process which has to be well consid-ered before motivating an extension to theCity, explains Schroeder. “The board did acost analysis to determine whether the prop-erty owners who already pay improvementdistrict levies would continue to receive thesame level of service should the boundarybe extended. The MID is one of the smallestimprovement districts in the Western Capewith a budget of only R1.4m per annum, soservice provision has to be done creativelyand wisely,” she says.
When the cost analysis was found viable,the extension was proposed at the AGM,
Schroeder says.After MID members voted in favour of ex-
tending the border, the board was able tocontinue with the process prescribed by theCity and legislation for Special Rating Areas(SRAs).
“We are at the point where the MID hasgivennotice that it intends toapply to extendits boundary to include Henley and WherryRoads and the parts of Cromer and Clevedonroads which currently fall outside the MIDboundary.”
All property owners in these four affectedstreets are invited to a public informationmeeting on Tuesday 7 June, Schroeder adds.
“The impact for residents in the WherryRoad triangle is that they will be part of avibrant improvement district that facili-tates focused support and services in theirarea,” she says.
MID provides top-up services, which in-
clude keeping a close watch on problembuildings, joint safety operations, workingwith the City to seek workable solutions forhomelessness and vagrancy, planting andmaintaining medicinal and indigenous gar-dens in public areas, as well as cleaning ofstreets and clearing of gutters and weeds.
“Everyone benefits from the MID 24 hourpublic safety patrol which attends to issuesimpacting on public safety and assists localsand visitors in public areas,” Schroederadds.V All property owners in these four affected streetsare invited to a public information meeting on Tuesday7 June at 18:30 at Kids Planet, Wherry Road. Propertyowners are asked to bring a rates bill and identification. In terms of SRA legislation at least 60% of theproperty owners need to sign consent before theboundary can be extended.V More information on the process is available on theMID website www.mid.org.za

GROOTE SCHUUR HOSPITAL
New jointpartnership tochange livesThree patients fromGroote SchuurHospi-
tal, who have been waiting for a hip re-placement for more than three years, wereable to walk out of hospital and into theirnew lives on crutches last Wednesday.They were the first to benefit from a part-
nership between private sector partnersand the Western Cape Government HealthDepartment that aims to address the wait-ing list for joint replacements.Called The Joint Project, this initiative
funds a single theatre day in a state hospitalallowing for four joint surgeries in theatre.This time around one of the patients des-
perately needed a bilateral hip replace-ment, meaning both hips, so in this eventthree patients were operated, although foursurgeries were done.The three patients who benefited are all
younger than 50 andhave lived limited livesfor some years now.Through the additional funding, this ini-
tiative also allows surgeons in training theexposure to assistwithordo joint surgeries.Surgeons in training need to do at least 40joint surgeries towards their surgery quali-fication.In this manner the project also addresses
the challenge of qualifyingdoctors formedi-cal practice.The three patients who benefitted from
the surgery were:. Deon de Bruyn (47) from Lakeside who
suffered from a hip deformity since child-hood and the painful onset of arthritis inhistwenties.He travels every day by train fromhis flat
in Lakeside to his place of employment asa security guard in Ndabeni.Pain is a part of his daily life, taking
batches of painkillers three times a day.Since the beginning of this year he used
a walking stick to support his gait, and tohelp him get on the train.The bilateral hip replacement, meaning
both hips were replaced, will relieve him ofyears of debilitating pain and within threemonths hewill be able to have a normal life,even take up sport.
. Anthea Jacobs, only 37, is a housewifefrom Ottery suffering from avascular ne-crosis (AVN)of the femoral head for thepast10 years. AVN is a pathologic process thatresults from the interruption of blood sup-ply to the bone.After 10 years of a life in pain, Jacobs will
return home and have an active life withher family again. She is married and hasfour children.
. Jasper Hartog (58) lives in Hout Bayand is also relieved to have had a hip re-placement after years of pain caused by ar-thritis.The patients were admitted to Groote
Schuur hospital on Thursday 19 May, andunderwent the surgeries on Friday 20 May.Physiotherapy plays a significant role in
the recovery time and the patient’s abilityto walk normally again.These patientswill undergo intense phys-
iotherapy for the next two to three months,at which time they should be able to leadnormal lives.“We have seen an increase in patients re-
quiring joint operations, but the demandand pressure to have these operations doneoutstrip the available capacity and funds atour hospitals,” says Dr Bhavna Patel, CEOof Groote Schuur hospital.“However, through interventions and
partnerships like these, we are able to helpa few more patients to live normal livesagain.”In his address, Theuns Botha, founder
and director of Spear Health, said this typeof surgery iswidely recognised as one of themost successful operations. “It is sad thatthe state does not have the resources tomatch the demand. In theWestern Cape thewaiting list stands at 4000, and in the coun-try estimated at 35 000. Through The JointProject we want to create capacity for morejoint surgeries, and invite potential fundersto join our cause.”Thepartners joininghands for the project
are the Western Cape Government Depart-ment ofHealth,Groote SchuurHospital, theJoint Care Trust, Johnson & Johnson andDrs Schnetler, Corbett & Partners.The project is facilitated by Spear Health,
recently established byBotha, formerWest-ern CapeMinister of Health, to source fund-ing in the private sector for vulnerable statepatients who fall outside of government’sbudget net.In order to have one theatre day per
month, Spear Health needs more funders tojoin hands for The Joint Project, and invitescorporates or individuals to contact themfor this cause.V For more information call Hélène Rossouw on082 771 8834.

GROOTE SCHUUR HOSPITAL
New jointpartnership tochange livesThree patients fromGroote SchuurHospi-
tal, who have been waiting for a hip re-placement for more than three years, wereable to walk out of hospital and into theirnew lives on crutches last Wednesday.They were the first to benefit from a part-
nership between private sector partnersand the Western Cape Government HealthDepartment that aims to address the wait-ing list for joint replacements.Called The Joint Project, this initiative
funds a single theatre day in a state hospitalallowing for four joint surgeries in theatre.This time around one of the patients des-
perately needed a bilateral hip replace-ment, meaning both hips, so in this eventthree patients were operated, although foursurgeries were done.The three patients who benefited are all
younger than 50 andhave lived limited livesfor some years now.Through the additional funding, this ini-
tiative also allows surgeons in training theexposure to assistwithordo joint surgeries.Surgeons in training need to do at least 40joint surgeries towards their surgery quali-fication.In this manner the project also addresses
the challenge of qualifyingdoctors formedi-cal practice.The three patients who benefitted from
the surgery were:. Deon de Bruyn (47) from Lakeside who
suffered from a hip deformity since child-hood and the painful onset of arthritis inhistwenties.He travels every day by train fromhis flat
in Lakeside to his place of employment asa security guard in Ndabeni.Pain is a part of his daily life, taking
batches of painkillers three times a day.Since the beginning of this year he used
a walking stick to support his gait, and tohelp him get on the train.The bilateral hip replacement, meaning
both hips were replaced, will relieve him ofyears of debilitating pain and within threemonths hewill be able to have a normal life,even take up sport.
. Anthea Jacobs, only 37, is a housewifefrom Ottery suffering from avascular ne-crosis (AVN)of the femoral head for thepast10 years. AVN is a pathologic process thatresults from the interruption of blood sup-ply to the bone.After 10 years of a life in pain, Jacobs will
return home and have an active life withher family again. She is married and hasfour children.
. Jasper Hartog (58) lives in Hout Bayand is also relieved to have had a hip re-placement after years of pain caused by ar-thritis.The patients were admitted to Groote
Schuur hospital on Thursday 19 May, andunderwent the surgeries on Friday 20 May.Physiotherapy plays a significant role in
the recovery time and the patient’s abilityto walk normally again.These patientswill undergo intense phys-
iotherapy for the next two to three months,at which time they should be able to leadnormal lives.“We have seen an increase in patients re-
quiring joint operations, but the demandand pressure to have these operations doneoutstrip the available capacity and funds atour hospitals,” says Dr Bhavna Patel, CEOof Groote Schuur hospital.“However, through interventions and
partnerships like these, we are able to helpa few more patients to live normal livesagain.”In his address, Theuns Botha, founder
and director of Spear Health, said this typeof surgery iswidely recognised as one of themost successful operations. “It is sad thatthe state does not have the resources tomatch the demand. In theWestern Cape thewaiting list stands at 4000, and in the coun-try estimated at 35 000. Through The JointProject we want to create capacity for morejoint surgeries, and invite potential fundersto join our cause.”Thepartners joininghands for the project
are the Western Cape Government Depart-ment ofHealth,Groote SchuurHospital, theJoint Care Trust, Johnson & Johnson andDrs Schnetler, Corbett & Partners.The project is facilitated by Spear Health,
recently established byBotha, formerWest-ern CapeMinister of Health, to source fund-ing in the private sector for vulnerable statepatients who fall outside of government’sbudget net.In order to have one theatre day per
month, Spear Health needs more funders tojoin hands for The Joint Project, and invitescorporates or individuals to contact themfor this cause.V For more information call Hélène Rossouw on082 771 8834.

Communicationthrough coffeeBreaking communications barriers over
freshly brewed coffee is the order of theday at a new coffee shop in Claremont.
I Love Coffee, South Africa’s first deaf-run coffee shop, will officially open its doorsin Cape Town this month. In partnershipwith Tribe Coffee, the entirely deaf-run cof-fee shop launches with the aim of breakingcommunication barriers between the hear-ing and the deaf.
The idea is the brainchild of social entre-preneur Gary Hopkins, who explains theshop offers an experience unlike any other,where customers are encouraged to engageverbally as well as visually with the deafstaff. Patrons will be given the opportunityto be taught rudimentary sign language toplace their orders and engage with the staff.
“It’s more than just coffee shop space, it’sabout a mind shift and correcting the per-ception that deaf people are disabled. Deaf-ness isn’t a disease and should be recog-nised as a culture – much like American,Italian, South African etcetera,” he says.
Of the estimated two million disabled peo-ple in South Africa, 500 000 are classified as“deaf” and almost one and a half millionSouth Africans are considered to be “hear-ing impaired”, which means that 4.5% ofSouth Africa’s total population is deaf.
While South Africa recognises 11 officialverbal and written languages, it has yet torecognise South African Sign Language(SASL), the visual language that is commonacross all South African deaf people. Thisin turn has deeper social implications as itlimits opportunities for tertiary educationand results in high unemployment amongthe deaf.
Hopkins adds that most people know verylittle about deaf culture and even fewer un-derstand it.
“We are hoping that by bringing an ordi-nary everyday experience like ordering acup of coffee or a toasted sandwich with theuse of sign language or by service expecta-
tion being met, we can bring a better under-standing about the capability of the deaf,”he says.
“The I Love Coffee brand aims to be cool,fun and engaging and is not out to garnera sympathy vote. We specifically chose a funname and incorporated deaf language intothe brand by replacing the heart symbolwith the SASL sign for ‘I Love You’,” saysHopkins.
“We have had incredible support fromWestern Cape Premier, Helen Zille, whomost don’t know has a deaf sister, as wellas The National Institute for the Deaf whohas assisted us with the recruitment of staffand are receiving barista training fromTribe Coffee.”
DeafSA, the non-profit organisation thatacts as the national research, informationand community action organisation on be-half of more than 600 000 South Africanswho are culturally and linguistically deaf,have assisted in bringing this project to life.
On choosing the venue, Hopkins pointsout that the decision to launch in a gym inClaremont was a conscious one with a long-term view to expand the national footprintof the brand as well as having to launch ona very tight budget.
“This entire project has been self-fundedwith the assistance of some really greatpartners, and – as we get closer to opening– we have other activities that will assist usin getting the brand off the ground,” Hop-kins adds.
“We are running a crowd funding cam-paign and fundraising event so we are ableto purchase more equipment.”
Hopkins adds that the coffee shop and the‘I Love Coffee’ brand will help change howthe world engages with the deaf.V The shop will open for business on Monday 6 Juneand is based at XBody Fitness, The Mews, DraperStreet, Claremont.

A legacy of destitute musicians may be atan end with the establishment of a new trustto care for them.
The African Musicians Trust, based inClaremont, will officially launch on Mon-day 20 June to present its aims and visionfor the future.
Glenn Robertson, one of the founders, ex-plains that he was motivated to start thetrust because in recent years too many mu-sicians died penniless after careers thatgave the world some iconic music.
“I realised that something has to be doneto stem the legacy that some of the legends
of our music have to go through,” he says.“With this trust we want to be part guid-
ing and educating existing musicians andthe next generation to empower them to be-come financially stable.
“We want to provide a platform for mar-keting, public relations, events manage-ment, training and networking. We alsowant to provide a medical aid and a provi-dent fund to enable them, in their latteryears, to live with dignity.”
Robertson adds that the history of musicin the Cape was an integral part of the fightfor freedom and must also become historythat is documented and taught at schools.V For more information call 082 296 6100 or visitwww.facebook.com/africanmusicianstrust.

Of the estimated two million disabled peo-ple in South Africa, 500 000 are classified as“deaf” and almost one and a half millionSouth Africans are considered to be “hear-ing impaired”, which means that 4.5% ofSouth Africa’s total population is deaf.
While South Africa recognises 11 officialverbal and written languages, it has yet torecognise South African Sign Language(SASL), the visual language that is commonacross all South African deaf people. Thisin turn has deeper social implications as itlimits opportunities for tertiary educationand results in high unemployment amongthe deaf.
Hopkins adds that most people know verylittle about deaf culture and even fewer un-derstand it.
“We are hoping that by bringing an ordi-nary everyday experience like ordering acup of coffee or a toasted sandwich with theuse of sign language or by service expecta-
tion being met, we can bring a better under-standing about the capability of the deaf,”he says.
“The I Love Coffee brand aims to be cool,fun and engaging and is not out to garnera sympathy vote. We specifically chose a funname and incorporated deaf language intothe brand by replacing the heart symbolwith the SASL sign for ‘I Love You’,” saysHopkins.
“We have had incredible support fromWestern Cape Premier, Helen Zille, whomost don’t know has a deaf sister, as wellas The National Institute for the Deaf whohas assisted us with the recruitment of staffand are receiving barista training fromTribe Coffee.”
DeafSA, the non-profit organisation thatacts as the national research, informationand community action organisation on be-half of more than 600 000 South Africanswho are culturally and linguistically deaf,have assisted in bringing this project to life.
On choosing the venue, Hopkins pointsout that the decision to launch in a gym inClaremont was a conscious one with a long-term view to expand the national footprintof the brand as well as having to launch ona very tight budget.
“This entire project has been self-fundedwith the assistance of some really greatpartners, and – as we get closer to opening– we have other activities that will assist usin getting the brand off the ground,” Hop-kins adds.
“We are running a crowd funding cam-paign and fundraising event so we are ableto purchase more equipment.”
Hopkins adds that the coffee shop and the‘I Love Coffee’ brand will help change howthe world engages with the deaf.V The shop will open for business on Monday 6 Juneand is based at XBody Fitness, The Mews, DraperStreet, Claremont.

A legacy of destitute musicians may be atan end with the establishment of a new trustto care for them.
The African Musicians Trust, based inClaremont, will officially launch on Mon-day 20 June to present its aims and visionfor the future.
Glenn Robertson, one of the founders, ex-plains that he was motivated to start thetrust because in recent years too many mu-sicians died penniless after careers thatgave the world some iconic music.
“I realised that something has to be doneto stem the legacy that some of the legends
of our music have to go through,” he says.“With this trust we want to be part guid-
ing and educating existing musicians andthe next generation to empower them to be-come financially stable.
“We want to provide a platform for mar-keting, public relations, events manage-ment, training and networking. We alsowant to provide a medical aid and a provi-dent fund to enable them, in their latteryears, to live with dignity.”
Robertson adds that the history of musicin the Cape was an integral part of the fightfor freedom and must also become historythat is documented and taught at schools.V For more information call 082 296 6100 or visitwww.facebook.com/africanmusicianstrust.

SIMON’S TOWN
Penguins injured in road accidentsMotoristshavebeencautioned tobeon the
lookout for penguins when drivingthrough Simon’s Town following two acci-dents resulting in the death of one and theinjury of three of the endangered birds.The African penguin was classified as en-
dangered in 2010. With an estimated 25 000breeding pairs left in the wild, the popula-tion is at approximately 2.5% of the estimat-ed figure of one million breeding pairs, re-corded in the early 20th century. With therapid decline of this species, the survival ofindividual penguins is critical.
Two vehicles were involved in a car acci-dent onWednesday 18May inSimon’sTown,killing an African penguin and injuring asecond penguin.The accident occurredwhen the drivers of
the vehicles attempted to avoid hitting agroup of endangered African penguinscrossing the main road near BouldersBeach.
None of the passengers in the vehicleswere harmed, but unfortunately one of thepenguins was killed and another sustainedminor injuries. A Cape Medical Responseteam responded to the accident and contact-ed the Cape of Good Hope SPCAwhen it wasdetermined that penguins had been in-volved in the accident.
A member of the SPCA’s Wildlife Unit as-sessed the injured seabird at the scene andthe birdwas then admitted to the SPCA’s an-imal hospital for further observation. Theinjured penguin has since been admitted tothe Southern African Foundation for theConservation of Coastal Bird (Sanccob) toundergo rehabilitation at its centre in TableView.
In a separate and unrelated incident, onThursday 19 May, South African NationalParks (Sanparks) officials came across twomore injured endangered African penguinsin the Boulders Beach colony.
The type of injuries on the penguins indi-
cated that they too may have been hit bya motor vehicle.Sanparks officials were only able to cap-
ture one of the penguins, as the other man-aged to evade capture, retreating back intothe colony area. Sanparks marine rangersare on the lookout for the injured birdwhich escaped.The captured penguin sustained serious
and life-threatening injuries, and is also be-ing treated and monitored closely at Sanc-cob’s seabird rehabilitation centre.Members of the public are requested to
be vigilant when driving through Simon’sTown. Despite the efforts of Sanparks, whomanage the Boulders Beach penguin colo-ny, these endangered seabirds manage tofind their way out of the protected area and
can, on occasion, be found crossing streetsand wandering into the urban areas.
Monique Ruthenberg, section ranger atSanparks Table Mountain National Park,says: “This timeof year there is an increasedrisk of car accidents involving penguins duetowet roads, speedingmotorists and the factthat penguins are small and difficult to spotgiven their black backs. Penguins are stillin breeding season and frequently move be-tween their nests and the ocean, often atnight. As such, we urgemembers of the pub-lic to significantly reduce their speed whendriving nearby colony areas and to keep aneye out for penguins.”
Sanccob’s rehabilitation manager, Nicky
Stander, adds thatAfrican penguins face nu-merous threats.
“We urge everyone to help us protect thisprecious and endangered seabird. When vi-siting Simon’s Town, or any area where hu-mans coexist with animals, try to adhere tothe speed limits, drive cautiously and beaware of these little birds, which may becrossing roads.”V Members of the public who encounter an injured seabird or a penguin outside of the protected colony area,are urged to contact SANParks on 021 786 2329 (officehours) or 0861 106417 (24hour emergency number),or Sanccob’s emergency response team on021 557 6155 (office hours) or 078 638 3731 (24houremergency number).

man, but these characterswill takea back seat when Pieter-Dirk Uyspresents his autobiographical one-man memoir The Echo of a Noise(Pieter-Dirk Uys – unpowdered atlast!).In his new show at Theatre on
the Bay, Pieter-Dirk, who cele-brates his seventieth birthday thisyear, plans to take audiences on acandid journey, from his child-hood, to his first experiences ofapartheid and his successful ca-reer.“It’s the storyof a lifewell-lived,”
Pieter-Dirk Uys says, adding:“About a boy from Pinelands whogrew up in a fractured societyblessed with parents who broughtmusic and love into the family; aboy who was stricken by the dis-ease to please from an early age,overshadowed by church andschool and a very strict father, and
yet finding inspiration and excite-ment through his fantasies and im-agination.”He says the show covers topics
that would have been shared bymost of the audience: “father,mother, sister, cat, swopping com-ics, seeing movies, Mozart, Elvis,something called sex, somethingnamed death, something remem-bered as love, laughter and maybea tear.”Pieter-Dirk refers to these as
“the familiar noises of life thateventually create a symphony ofcelebration”.Despite more than 7000 perform-
ances, the South African theatrelegend says he’s never had thecourage to remove themasks of thecharacters he’s created, mainly tofocus on “political madness andmirth”. “This is the first time I tellthe story behind the stories.Maybeturning 70 has given me thethumbs-up to share the secrets andlet the cat out of the bag.”Pieter-Dirk started his career in
1968 when there will many limita-
tion on what performers could getawaywith. He’s joked about the in-famous censor board of the time,calling them his own public rela-tions department. In fact, at onepoint they even declared one of hismade-up words obscene.“I think the restrictions I was
faced with helped me create possi-bilities of confronting themthrough unexplored avenues – inmy case, using humour as a weap-on of mass distraction.”Pieter-Dirk believed that to
laugh would help make “fear lessfearful”, especially in a time whenmany South African’s lives wereshaped by fear. His answer was tocreate his iconic character EvitaBezuidenhout.“Laughter was a relief. It still is,
and Evita was just one of thosecharacters who eventually steppedout of the satirical cluster and be-came the most famous white wom-an inSouthAfrica – thenandnow.”This year is a big one for Pieter-
Dirk who is also the subject of asoon to be released documentary
Nobody’s Died Laughing (in cine-mas from Friday 29 July) whichcelebrates his life as a performer,as well as an activist.The film tries to keep up with Pi-
eter-Dirk, who the productionteam call one of SouthAfrica’s bus-iest performers, while also takinga closer look at theman behind thecharacters he presents along withhis humanitarian work.“This film captures a man and a
lifetime commitment to a countryby using satire to affect change,”explains filmmaker Willem Oelof-sen.Pieter-Dirk says: “The great li-
brary of stories that have beenshared from the stage has done somuch to allow us in the audienceto confront the drama of life, of re-lationships, of pain, of turmoil andstrife, and of course, the release oftensions through laughter, eithervia comedy or humour.

Taking to the air withlocal band Al BairreLOUISA STEYL
@LouSteyl
It doesn’t take much to realise that CapeTown band Al Bairre are all about quirki-ness.They’ll be taking that a step further this
month though, when they perform two con-certs with the Zip Zap Circus.Kyle Davis, twins Tessa and Julia John-
son and Nic Preen will be performing livein the Zip Zap Dome on Friday 10 and 11June while the circus’ acts perform rou-tines choreographed to their music for AlBairre in the air.“We are super excited to collaborate with
Zip Zap,” Nic says.“It’s going to be something completely
new for us which takes the concert experi-ence to another level quite literally, withtrapeze acts above the stage.”“You can expect a full on Al Bairre con-
cert, except with acrobats, trapeze artists,jugglers, ribbon acts, clowns and thisgnarly wheel act that will blow yourmind,”Kyle explains.The showswill be a fundraiser for the Zip
Zap Circus School, a non-profit organisa-tion that use circus art to empower at-riskyouth in Cape Town. Last year they wereable to provide free training to more than1000 children.The band, who hail from Hout Bay and
Rondebosch describe their music as “Clas-sic indie finger pop” and proudly call them-selves “aggressively unfancy”.“When we do what we do we don’t like to
do it in a fancy way,” Kyle explains. “Andif you try and make us we just pinch you– pretty aggressively.”Al Bairre also make sure that fans know
how to pronounce their name: “Al Bear”,but according toKyle that’s a shortenedver-sion from what they originally wanted touse.“We used to be a heavy metal band and
got blacklisted from about six different ho-tels around South Africa for throwing TVsout of the window,” he recalls.“So instead of sleeping on the streets
whenwe touredwe just started checking in-to hotels under the name The Alan BairreJazz Band. Then we got super into pop mu-sic and decided to just become a pop bandand The Alan Bairre Pop Band soundeddumb.”The group’s circus show will come short-
ly after their European tour, “Euro Safari”,with fellow South Africans Shortstraw andDecember Streets.“We played in Berlin, two sold out shows
in London, a very cool show at The GreatEscapeFestival and a show inAmsterdam.”While the other two bands headed home,
June sees Al Bairre continuing on to theModular Festival in Germany, a show inSwitzerland and theMidemFestival inCan-nes in France “to end it all off”.Back in South Africa Kyle says the group
will be heading back into studio to work onsome newmaterial. He says fans can expect“some more radical shows and hopefullysome new songs.”For now though, fans can catch their
shows with the Zip Zap Circus. “It’s also anall-ages show, so everyone can have a greattime.”V Tickets for the shows, which start at 18:00, costR160 and are available at Quicket.co.za or at the door.For more information about Al Bairre, visit www.albairre.com or visit www.zipzap.co.za for more aboutZip Zap.

Taking to the air withlocal band Al BairreLOUISA STEYL
@LouSteyl
It doesn’t take much to realise that CapeTown band Al Bairre are all about quirki-ness.They’ll be taking that a step further this
month though, when they perform two con-certs with the Zip Zap Circus.Kyle Davis, twins Tessa and Julia John-
son and Nic Preen will be performing livein the Zip Zap Dome on Friday 10 and 11June while the circus’ acts perform rou-tines choreographed to their music for AlBairre in the air.“We are super excited to collaborate with
Zip Zap,” Nic says.“It’s going to be something completely
new for us which takes the concert experi-ence to another level quite literally, withtrapeze acts above the stage.”“You can expect a full on Al Bairre con-
cert, except with acrobats, trapeze artists,jugglers, ribbon acts, clowns and thisgnarly wheel act that will blow yourmind,”Kyle explains.The showswill be a fundraiser for the Zip
Zap Circus School, a non-profit organisa-tion that use circus art to empower at-riskyouth in Cape Town. Last year they wereable to provide free training to more than1000 children.The band, who hail from Hout Bay and
Rondebosch describe their music as “Clas-sic indie finger pop” and proudly call them-selves “aggressively unfancy”.“When we do what we do we don’t like to
do it in a fancy way,” Kyle explains. “Andif you try and make us we just pinch you– pretty aggressively.”Al Bairre also make sure that fans know
how to pronounce their name: “Al Bear”,but according toKyle that’s a shortenedver-sion from what they originally wanted touse.“We used to be a heavy metal band and
got blacklisted from about six different ho-tels around South Africa for throwing TVsout of the window,” he recalls.“So instead of sleeping on the streets
whenwe touredwe just started checking in-to hotels under the name The Alan BairreJazz Band. Then we got super into pop mu-sic and decided to just become a pop bandand The Alan Bairre Pop Band soundeddumb.”The group’s circus show will come short-
ly after their European tour, “Euro Safari”,with fellow South Africans Shortstraw andDecember Streets.“We played in Berlin, two sold out shows
in London, a very cool show at The GreatEscapeFestival and a show inAmsterdam.”While the other two bands headed home,
June sees Al Bairre continuing on to theModular Festival in Germany, a show inSwitzerland and theMidemFestival inCan-nes in France “to end it all off”.Back in South Africa Kyle says the group
will be heading back into studio to work onsome newmaterial. He says fans can expect“some more radical shows and hopefullysome new songs.”For now though, fans can catch their
shows with the Zip Zap Circus. “It’s also anall-ages show, so everyone can have a greattime.”V Tickets for the shows, which start at 18:00, costR160 and are available at Quicket.co.za or at the door.For more information about Al Bairre, visit www.albairre.com or visit www.zipzap.co.za for more aboutZip Zap.

FacingfearsSometimes, halfway through a conversa-tion with a man, I find we can’t relate toeach other at all.It’s not because we might have different
cultures, religions or backgrounds.My reasoning makes no sense to him be-
cause everything I have ever been taughtas woman comes from a place of fear.This is something many men cannot re-
late to – they have been taught to be strong,aggressive, persistent and ambitious.They have been taught that men settle
arguments with each otherwith a fight anda beer, that “rough” and “tough” are admi-rable qualities and that they should go afterwhat they want and fight for it.These are the very qualities women are
taught, from a very young age, to fear.Little girls are taught to go to the toilet
in groups by theirmothers, because it’s saf-er.At 18, my best friend justified her choice
to wear pants when going out “because it’ssafer than a skirt and you never knowwhatmight happen”.I still tell someonewhen I leavework, “in

Plastic is the futureI refer to Desiree Rorke’s piece “Theproblem is not plastic, but people” in thePeople’s Post of 17 May.Machines are now commercially
available which will convert waste plasticinto fuel (usually diesel fuel).
In order to publicise this a lightaircraft is to fly from San Francisco toAlaska, using plastic-derived fuel. Thefact that the fuel is to be used in anaircraft should dispel any fears concern-ing the quality of the fuel.
It has been suggested that it will beeconomic to pay for scrap plastic. Thatshould ensure that the plastic rubbishwhich disfigures the Deep South israpidly “scavenged” by our large popula-tion of poor people.More details may be found at:www.onwingsofwaste.orgwww.plasticenergy.eu/en/www.energeticforum.com/renewable-en-

Glancairn beachneeds a boostThis letter follows my letter in thePeoples Post, 21 May 2013, as to the stateof the recreational facilities at Glencairnbeach.I read with interest in the latest
People’s Post dated 24 May, that the Cityof Cape Town plans to make access toKommetjie beach easier. I wish the sameconsideration would be given to Glenc-airn beach which to my mind continuesto be the most neglected beach in theSouth Peninsula.At present two of our access points to
the beach are blocked by seaweedwashed up nearly three weeks ago bystormy seas. Slippery, slimy seaweedwashed up under the road and railwaybridge poses an obstacle course and adanger to beach goers and the subway isblocked by mounds of seaweed makingaccess by this route impossible. Theseaccess points are used by residents. Thesubway is also an access point to thetidal pool.Years of neglect by the City, together
with extreme high tides last year andthis month, have resulted in the walk-way between the beach and the tidalpool disintegrating to such an extentthat poses a danger to beach goers.Large chunks of concrete have brokenaway and in places the walkway isnon-existent.It can now only be negotiated by the
fit and able and is made even morehazardous by seaweed strewn across it.
This walkway forms an important linkbetween the beach and the tidal pool.When is it going to be repaired?Residents were told at a council
meeting last year that the tidal pool wasgoing to be repaired in the 2016 financialyear. Is this going to happen or was thisjust empty promises?
I am aware that there are plans torehabilitate the main beach due toerosion affecting the railway line. Wewere told Prasa, province and the Citywould fund this part of the rehabilita-tion. Is this work going to detract fromthe urgent attention that needs to begiven to the tidal pool and walkway?
Glencairn beach serves a diversepopulation from residents, recreationalvisitors as well as the Children’s Campsup Glen Road. What kind of impressionmust visitors have of our beach?
I was recently embarrassed whenvisitors from the UK were horrified atthe state of the beach. That the City hasallowed our beach to get into such astate of decay is a disgrace.
As a long time resident and ratepayerof Glencairn, I would like some feedback as to when our tidal pool andwalkway are going to be repaired.

TV licence hassles for pensionerI am interested in hearing if otherreaders have been experiencing harass-ment to pay for television licences whenit is already paid.Both my daughter and I are being
asked to pay again despite having done
so timeously. Is there a problem withthe accounting system?As a pensioner I cannot afford to pay
twice in a year for the same service.JO FRANCIS

Criminals protectedI agree with Rod Toerien (“Animals are alot nicer than people”, People’s Post 24May). The death sentence is alive andwell in South Africa but sadly onlyapplies to innocent people who neverhave the opportunity to defend them-selves in court.In keeping with the judiciary, criminals
receive more protection.Chris Charles should be careful when
making comparisons with non-Africancountries. In many cases a mandatorylife sentence applies with no chance ofparole and many have argued that isworse than a death penalty. I think thisapplies to Canada and many US states.
Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia,to name a few in our subregion havenothing approaching our violent crime.They all have the death penalty and jailis jail not “correctional services”. I haveyet to meet someone from Chikurube inZimbabwe, or Kamfinsa in Zambia whowould go back to those jails.

With National Bipolar DisorderAwarenessDayobservedonWednes-
day 25 May, the local health departmentset out to demystify the misconceptionsabout the disorder.Many individuals living with a mental
illness face a number of challenges – notonly do they struggle with the symptomsand disabilities that result from the dis-ease, but they are also challenged by thestereotypes and prejudices that resultfrom the many misconceptions aboutmental illness.Known globally as the 6th leading cause
of disability in theworld, bipolar disorderaffects about 1% of South Africans.In light of the awareness day, and the
often silent blight undiagnosed sufferersand their families endure, greater aware-ness and education are needed to bust themany myths and associated stigmas thatsurround Bipolar Disorder, says Christi-aan Verster, psychiatrist at LentegeurHospital.Verster saysbecausebipolar disorder is
one of the more severe mental illnesses,it is often misunderstood. “Bipolar disor-der sufferers experience a range of emo-tions – from depression and despair, tomanic feelings of joy, enthusiasmand lossof inhibitions. Because it is not a blackandwhite disorder, it is oftenhard todiag-nose at first glance,” he says. “Diagnosingbipolar disorder is the crucial first step,and it’s a far more difficult issue to diag-
nose thanmost othermental illnesses. Noblood test or brain scan can determine thepresence of Bipolarity. Medical officersrely on detailed accounts of a patient’smood, sleeping patterns, energy levelsand behaviour from family members.”
Verster says many individuals believethat being diagnosed with bipolar disor-der is a life sentence, but although the dis-order is incurable, it is treatable andman-ageable. “The biggest misconception isthat individuals suffering from bipolardisorder arenot able to live ‘normal’ lives.However, with the correct medication,support and therapy, all bipolar disordersufferers are able to live fulfilled and pro-ductive lives,” he explains.
It is crucial for both the patient and fam-ily members to do research and educatethemselves about the illness,he adds.
“Another misconception is that medi-cine is the only way to control bipolar dis-order. However, family and a supportstructureplayan integral role inassistingindividuals with bipolar disorder manag-ing their illness. Regulating your lifewithscheduled times for eating, sleeping andexercise will assist sufferers in minimis-ing the likelihood, duration or severity ofan episode. It is also important to identifythe red flags that may cause an episode.This will assist sufferers and their familyto stay clear of such triggers.”
Although the cause of bipolar disorderis determined by genetic predisposition,
Verster highlights that many young indi-viduals who use substances such as mari-juana andmethamphetaminemay inducethe illness. “Substance abuse continues toplay a major role in patients with mentalillnesses, with approximately 50% of pa-tients abusing substances such as mari-juana, methamphetamine and alcohol.We often see young individuals with bipo-lar disorder who have a history of sub-stance abuse. They may drink alcohol orabuse drugs to ease the uncomfortablesymptoms of their mood swings,” ex-plains Verster.
Verster notes that often sufferers don’trealise they have a problem. “If an indi-vidual is suffering from a mental healthcondition, initial treatment can be offeredfollowing theassessment of ahealthwork-er by simply visiting a local clinic. It isimportant to always be sensitive to thefeelings of these individuals who may beliving with a mental condition, and re-member that it takes an expert to diag-nose any illness,” he says. “If the diagno-sis points to bipolar disorder, or anothermental illness for that matter, treatmentis always available. Treatment may in-cludemedication as well as short term in-dividual or group counselling and sup-port. The mental health nurse may con-sult with the regional psychologist orpsychiatrist (or other members of the re-gional mental health team) when addi-tional expertise is required.”

This walkway forms an important linkbetween the beach and the tidal pool.When is it going to be repaired?Residents were told at a council
meeting last year that the tidal pool wasgoing to be repaired in the 2016 financialyear. Is this going to happen or was thisjust empty promises?
I am aware that there are plans torehabilitate the main beach due toerosion affecting the railway line. Wewere told Prasa, province and the Citywould fund this part of the rehabilita-tion. Is this work going to detract fromthe urgent attention that needs to begiven to the tidal pool and walkway?
Glencairn beach serves a diversepopulation from residents, recreationalvisitors as well as the Children’s Campsup Glen Road. What kind of impressionmust visitors have of our beach?
I was recently embarrassed whenvisitors from the UK were horrified atthe state of the beach. That the City hasallowed our beach to get into such astate of decay is a disgrace.
As a long time resident and ratepayerof Glencairn, I would like some feedback as to when our tidal pool andwalkway are going to be repaired.

TV licence hassles for pensionerI am interested in hearing if otherreaders have been experiencing harass-ment to pay for television licences whenit is already paid.Both my daughter and I are being
asked to pay again despite having done
so timeously. Is there a problem withthe accounting system?As a pensioner I cannot afford to pay
twice in a year for the same service.JO FRANCIS

Criminals protectedI agree with Rod Toerien (“Animals are alot nicer than people”, People’s Post 24May). The death sentence is alive andwell in South Africa but sadly onlyapplies to innocent people who neverhave the opportunity to defend them-selves in court.In keeping with the judiciary, criminals
receive more protection.Chris Charles should be careful when
making comparisons with non-Africancountries. In many cases a mandatorylife sentence applies with no chance ofparole and many have argued that isworse than a death penalty. I think thisapplies to Canada and many US states.
Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia,to name a few in our subregion havenothing approaching our violent crime.They all have the death penalty and jailis jail not “correctional services”. I haveyet to meet someone from Chikurube inZimbabwe, or Kamfinsa in Zambia whowould go back to those jails.

With National Bipolar DisorderAwarenessDayobservedonWednes-
day 25 May, the local health departmentset out to demystify the misconceptionsabout the disorder.Many individuals living with a mental
illness face a number of challenges – notonly do they struggle with the symptomsand disabilities that result from the dis-ease, but they are also challenged by thestereotypes and prejudices that resultfrom the many misconceptions aboutmental illness.Known globally as the 6th leading cause
of disability in theworld, bipolar disorderaffects about 1% of South Africans.In light of the awareness day, and the
often silent blight undiagnosed sufferersand their families endure, greater aware-ness and education are needed to bust themany myths and associated stigmas thatsurround Bipolar Disorder, says Christi-aan Verster, psychiatrist at LentegeurHospital.Verster saysbecausebipolar disorder is
one of the more severe mental illnesses,it is often misunderstood. “Bipolar disor-der sufferers experience a range of emo-tions – from depression and despair, tomanic feelings of joy, enthusiasmand lossof inhibitions. Because it is not a blackandwhite disorder, it is oftenhard todiag-nose at first glance,” he says. “Diagnosingbipolar disorder is the crucial first step,and it’s a far more difficult issue to diag-
nose thanmost othermental illnesses. Noblood test or brain scan can determine thepresence of Bipolarity. Medical officersrely on detailed accounts of a patient’smood, sleeping patterns, energy levelsand behaviour from family members.”
Verster says many individuals believethat being diagnosed with bipolar disor-der is a life sentence, but although the dis-order is incurable, it is treatable andman-ageable. “The biggest misconception isthat individuals suffering from bipolardisorder arenot able to live ‘normal’ lives.However, with the correct medication,support and therapy, all bipolar disordersufferers are able to live fulfilled and pro-ductive lives,” he explains.
It is crucial for both the patient and fam-ily members to do research and educatethemselves about the illness,he adds.
“Another misconception is that medi-cine is the only way to control bipolar dis-order. However, family and a supportstructureplayan integral role inassistingindividuals with bipolar disorder manag-ing their illness. Regulating your lifewithscheduled times for eating, sleeping andexercise will assist sufferers in minimis-ing the likelihood, duration or severity ofan episode. It is also important to identifythe red flags that may cause an episode.This will assist sufferers and their familyto stay clear of such triggers.”
Although the cause of bipolar disorderis determined by genetic predisposition,
Verster highlights that many young indi-viduals who use substances such as mari-juana andmethamphetaminemay inducethe illness. “Substance abuse continues toplay a major role in patients with mentalillnesses, with approximately 50% of pa-tients abusing substances such as mari-juana, methamphetamine and alcohol.We often see young individuals with bipo-lar disorder who have a history of sub-stance abuse. They may drink alcohol orabuse drugs to ease the uncomfortablesymptoms of their mood swings,” ex-plains Verster.
Verster notes that often sufferers don’trealise they have a problem. “If an indi-vidual is suffering from a mental healthcondition, initial treatment can be offeredfollowing theassessment of ahealthwork-er by simply visiting a local clinic. It isimportant to always be sensitive to thefeelings of these individuals who may beliving with a mental condition, and re-member that it takes an expert to diag-nose any illness,” he says. “If the diagno-sis points to bipolar disorder, or anothermental illness for that matter, treatmentis always available. Treatment may in-cludemedication as well as short term in-dividual or group counselling and sup-port. The mental health nurse may con-sult with the regional psychologist orpsychiatrist (or other members of the re-gional mental health team) when addi-tional expertise is required.”

Fish Hoek-based surfski star JasperMocké raced onto the podium at the fa-bled Maui Jim Molokai Challenge in
Hawaii on Sunday 29 May, finishing thirdand completing an all-South African podiumat the end of a race held in very tough hotweather and on a flat ocean that offered thepaddlers no assistance on the 53km crossingbetween the islands of Molokai and Oahu.
A delighted but exhausted Mocké saidfrom the finish at the Maunalua Beach Parkthat he was thrilled with the result at the endof a nail biting, tough slog that quickly sawthe top five paddlers breaking away at thefront. “It was a hot, flat, tough, brutal racefor me,” said the Euro Steel/Epic Kayaksace. “Five of us – myself, Hank (McGregor),Cory (Hill), Sean (Rice) and Clint (Robinson)all found our own niche, and it really wasa story of five guys doing their own thing.
“To do well today you needed to be effi-cient and try and use whatever the oceangave you – which wasn’t much – and maybefrom about twenty kays from the finish youcould start catching bumps, but they weren’tlinking so you had to work hard to get anybenefit.
“I was sitting in third/fourth most of theway and Clint (Robinson) and I were reallyracing for fourth place. I managed to comepast him with about ten kays to go,” said
Mocké.He said that his shot at making the podium
came when defending champion Cory Hill ofAustralia, who was dicing with eventualwinner Hank McGregor for the lead, madea mistake at the reef at China Walls, withinsight of the finish.
“Unfortunately for Cory he rode a wavetoo far at China Walls and broke his rudderoff over the reef, which jumped me up anoth-er spot,” he said.
“I am happy. I felt that I left it all out there.I will definitely be back to try and improve,”he said.
McGregor bagged his third win in thetough event, widely regarded as the de-factoworld championship of ultra distance surf-ski racing, with Capetonians Rice andMocké helping to make up an all-South Afri-can podium at the event for the first time.
The women’s race was dominated byQueenslander Liz Pluimers, finishing fif-teen minute ahead of Kiwi Rachel Clarke,with another Australian Tania Moohin com-pleting the women’s podium.Results:1.

Big dreams forice hockey star
JP Smith (15) fromHanover Park is theLet’s Play People’sPost Sport Star forMay.
The crowd thatmade their way to KillarneyRace Track for the fourth round of the of theDEOD SuperGP Champions Trophy on Sat-urday 28 May were treated to some of themost exciting bike racing seen on a SouthAfrican circuit for years. While the victorsmay be familiar faces on the top step of thepodium this season, they were all made towork for their wins.Mathew Scholtz and his ETR Nashua Ya-
maha R1 left theWestern Cape with a biggerlead in the SuperGP championship afterwinning both races and setting a new laprecord in the process.
Scholtz headed an all Yamaha front rowafter Friday qualifying with Clint Seller(Neolife Yamaha R1) and Michael White(Consortium Shipping Yamaha R1) joininghim. Nicolaas Grobler headed the secondrow of the grid with the Kawasakis of GregGidenhuys (KreepyKrauly) and CapetonianBrandon Haupt (MxClean) alongside him.Coming into this round Lance Isaacs has
won every SuperMasters Interprovincialrace this season.He kept that 100% winning record intact
with another two victories. In the absenceof Steven Odendaal – he is on international
duty in Spain – Adolf Boshoff was expectedto break the tie at the top of the Super600championship log.This he did but he had towork a lot harder
than he anticipated.
SuperJuniorTyreeceRobert (Autostyling IndyOil)was
