A top thriller is turned intoart, then children’s booksNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Local author Lauren Beukes’s latest bookhas been transformed into artworks by

more than 130 local artists.All proceeds from the exhibition will go to-

wards Book Dash, and will allow for theprinting and distribution of storybooks tochildren in need. For each artwork sold, 150illustrated children’s books will be printedand distributed.

The project has been sponsored by Nando’sand has seen curator Jacki Lang selectemerging local artists, designers, illustra-tors, architects and photographers – includ-ing Brett Murray, Conrad Botes, GabbyRaaff, Kilmany-Jo Liversage, Lien Botha, Li-za Grobler, Matthew Hindley, Mia Widlake,Paul Senyol and artists from the Nando’s ArtInitiative.

The works are created from or on pagestorn from Beukes’s most recent novelBrokenMonsters.

“The artists could choose which pages intheir bundle they wanted to create artworkson. For every artist that selection is theirown process,” explains Lang.

“Some of the artworks relate to the wordsand story on that particular page and somedon’t. There were also some artists whoasked for extra bundles of pages so that theycould contribute more artworks to the exhi-bition and the cause.”

Beukes loves art and artists and often in-cludes them in her stories, says Nando’s ArtInitiative spokesperson Louise McCann.

“Since her bookMoxyland she has run col-laborations with artists around her stories.When Lauren launched her international

bestsellerThe Shining Girls her friend JackiLang, an ace curator based in Cape Town,suggested to Lauren that they create an exhi-bition where artists create artworks on pa-ges torn from The Shining Girls as a fun-draiser for a charity,” she says.

That art show was a success, with all theartworks sold in ten minutes and R100 000raised for Rape Crisis in Cape Town.

Book Dash is a charity close to Beukes’sheart.

“Reading is about understanding theworld and who we are in it. Stories allow usto live other lives, to spend time in someoneelse’s head, to feel empathy. Stories allow usto be more than we are. It’s a big theme inBrokenMonsters – the doors in our heads. SoBook Dash felt like the perfect charity part-ner. What could be better than using a bookto create accessible art to fund more storieswith art that become accessible books in thehands of kids?” she says.

Artworks inspired by local author Lauren Beukes’s latest book have been sold to raise funds fora children’s literacy project.

Kids’ hospitalremembersfoundersTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

The Red Cross War Memorial Children’sHospital honoured its founders at the an-nual Remembrance Day celebration onWednesday last week.

The day is celebrated on 11 November tohonour the World War II servicemen whodonated two days of their pay towardswhat was to become the Red Cross War Me-morial Children’s Hospital.

Their vision then was to create a livingmemorial in honour of their fallen com-rades. Today, the world-class hospitalsaves the lives of more than a quarter mil-lion children each year. Next year the hos-pital can celebrate 60 years.

Military dignitaries in regiment uni-forms have gathered with their families onthe hospital’s premises on RemembranceDay each year since 2011, and a ceremonytakes place to pay tribute to the heroes whooriginated the iconic hospital.

The ceremony has grown in stature andattendance and this year more than 150guests and members of the public attended.The programme included the Cape FieldArtillery Pipes and Drums, the Isivungu-vungu Youth Band, marching sentries andMoths standards, the “Last Post”, two min-utes of silence and “Reveille” as well as awreath laying.

Liz Linsell of the Children’s HospitalTrust says it is important that they remem-ber the veterans who were so instrumentalin the founding of the hospital.

In 1945, it was suggested that a children’shospital be built as a memorial to thosewho had contributed by sacrifice, sufferingand service in World War II. It was felt thatchildren had been innocent victims of thewar, so the hospital was devoted to them.

Trafficcalming inZonnebloemThe City council has set aside a specialbudget of R18m to implement 270 traf-fic-calming projects across the city be-fore the middle of next year.

This includes the installation of araised pedestrian crossing and onespeed hump in Keizersgracht in Zon-nebloem.

Six speed bumps will be installed onMolteno Road in Oranjezicht.

Brett Herron, mayoral committeemember for transport, says: “The pur-pose of the projects is first and fore-most to protect the most vulnerableroad users among us: Children, thosewith special needs, cyclists and otherpedestrians.”

“Apart from establishing a sustaina-ble and responsive regime for the pro-vision of traffic-calming measuresacross the city, the new policy also ad-dresses the current backlog of 500 traf-fic-calming projects to the value ofR30m. Going forward, the City will im-plement traffic-calming measures at50 schools each financial year, as wellas a further 150 projects from the listof approved projects, subject to availa-ble funding,” Herron says.

Each year the City receives morethan 400 requests for new traffic-calm-ing measures, Herron says.

“We are trying our best to make ourroads as safe as possible for all road us-ers, in particular for our children, butwe cannot do this on our own. We needour residents to also play their part byobeying the rules of the road – be it mo-torists, cyclists or pedestrians.”

CITY CENTRE

Crew uncovers old tracksNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Roadworks on Long Street have led to thediscovery of a piece of history.

Tram tracks were uncovered after a watermain burst on the corner of Long and Dorpstreets.

Johan van der Merwe, mayoral committeemember for energy, environmental and spa-tial planning, says: “These were confirmedto be old tram tracks, but no other materialof an archaeological nature was evident inthe roadworks. Once work on the watermain was complete, the tracks were coveredwith new asphalt. The tram tracks have notbeen damaged and remain protected in situunder the new asphalt.”

The unexpected find is not unusual forthe city centre, says Brett Herron, mayor-al committee member for transport.

“It is important to note that there aretram lines under many of our roads in theCape Town central business district. All ofthese tracks were covered with asphaltwhen the trams stopped operating somedecades ago,” he says.

In September 1862, the Cape Town andGreen Point Tramway Company wasformed, and began operations on 1 April1863, with a horse-drawn service runningon rails from the foot of Adderley Streetand out along Somerset Road to GreenPoint. Both single- and double-deckerhorse-drawn trams were used.

In 1879, a second tramways company,

the City Tramways Company Limited, startedto operate a similar horse-drawn service, ini-tially out to Green Point and Sea Point, andlater to the Gardens and the southern suburbs.

Technological innovations saw horse-drawntrams replaced with electric trams in 1894 andlater the introduction of fuel-powered motor-buses in 1911 and trackless electric trams in1934.

As the lines run under many of the city’sbusiest streets, preserving the tracks becomes“nearly impossible”, Herron says.

“It would be impractical to preserve thesetracks as it would mean we could not allowtraffic near them,” he says.

Old tram tracks were recently exposed during roadworks on Long Street. PHOTO: THYS HATTINGH

230 officers for‘safest city centre’NICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

As the Cape Town CentralCity Improvement Dis-

trict (CCID) celebrates 15years, its growing securitydepartment has led toclaims that Cape Town hasthe safest city centre in thecountry.At the CCID’s recent an-

nual general meeting, chiefoperating officer TassoEvangelinos said the largerdepartment was a good indi-cation of just how far thecity centre had come in thelast 15 years.“When we started in 2000,

we deployed with 100 com-munity police officers. By2002, we added another 60members to our securitycomplement and began tocall them our public safetyofficers,” he said.The organisation now has

230 public safety officers – 70of which are on duty at alltimes – as well as eight lawenforcement officers.In 2010 the CCID became a 24-hour opera-

tion and this service has grown to see theappointment of a secondnightmanager thisyear, to help with the operational demandsof a growing night-time economy.“Within a year of the City taking over the

Cyclops CCTV network in 2001, the CCIDbecame its number one respondent in thecity centre. And since 2013, we’ve been ableto boast an average response time of fiveminutes,” he says.“An increase in investments in technolo-

gy and research over the years have also en-abled us to implement tools such as our

high-tech mapping system installed in ourCCID control centre.”This year alone, the CCID conducted

118 714 crime prevention initiatives, made1 798 arrests together with the CCID’s lawenforcement partners and issued 38 979warnings.Officers also issued 16 066 fines amount-

ing to over R6m.Togetherwith stakeholders, theCCIDhas

“created a work of art”, Evangelinos said.“What we believe we’ve done over the past15 years – together with our partners andour stakeholders – is we’ve brought backthe colour to the city centre.”

Over the last 15 years, the CCID has grown so that it nowemploys 230 public safety officers and is watching over thecity centre 24 hours.

Give your body a stretchnext to the Sea Point poolNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Anewpublic gym, similar to the popularfree gym on the Sea Point Promenadelawns, has opened in the Sea Point Pavil-ion.Sponsored by the Friends of the Sea

Point Pavilion, the project aims to en-hance healthy living and daily exercise.The Friends of the Sea Point Pavilion

is a voluntary non-profit organisationformed by a group of regular swimmersand local residents.The group’s chairperson, Tony Scala-

brino, says they had beenworking quiet-ly since inception a couple of years agoto improve the facility. The organisationalso helps the municipality with the up-keep of the pool.The gym is the Friends’ latest initia-

tive from funds collected by renting theforecourt to small businesses.

Ward councillor Jacques Weber, whoattended the opening of the gym onWednesday last week, applauded theFriends for “pushing forward” in up-grading the pool.He added that the outdoor gyms, such

as the one on the Promenade, have be-comeapopular facility. Itwill be a valua-ble addition to the Pavilion, he says.TheSeaPoint swimmingpoolhasbeen

rated as one of the world’s top ten swim-ming pools by the Guardian newspaper.It attracts up to 60 000 visitors over thepeaking summer swimming period andmore than 20 000 visitors per month inDecember and January.The pool is open throughout the year,

and a handful of Capetonians perseverewith their training throughout winter,even when water temperatures drop toabout 12°C.The City recently spent R3m on up-

grading the facility.

It’s been about a year since internationalsinger Charl “Babyboy” Pilwan toldPeople’s Posthewanted to return to SouthAfrica.Born and raised in Retreat, Charl, whonow lives inWoodstock, has spent the last13 years working in Asia and America,but says he’s been spending a lot moretime at “home” lately.After releasing his single “Apple greenDatsun” earlier this year, Charlsays he’s been in Cape Town sinceMay, which has been the longesttime he’s spent in the city for years.The song, which celebrates CapeTown, has been received very well.It was downloaded 5000 times with-in the first week of its release andCharl says fans can expect to heara house remix of “Apple green Dat-sun” soon.“It’s been amazing,” he says.

Music video winsCharl, who has previously saidthat he is always going to be “a col-oured boy from Retreat”, receivedarguably the best welcome homewhen he was acknowledged at theCape Flats Film Festival.He won the Best Video award forthe music video of “Voice of rea-son”, his previous single.“I really didn’t expect to win . . .Like really.”It’s the first time he’s been recog-nised in this way in his home coun-try.The festival took place acrossCape Town and the nominated mu-sic videos were screened at schoolsacross the Cape Flats and pupils gotto vote for their favourites.The fact that the schoolchildrenliked his work was a great affirma-tion for Charl, but he points out thatthey did have questions, like why “a col-oured boy fromRetreat” was singing pre-dominantly English songs.Charl grew up speaking English andstudies abroad, giving him a “morerounded” sound,whichalsohelpshimca-ter to a larger audience.His new single “Can’t figure it out” iscurrently playing on Heart 104.9FM andother radio stations, but he’s alreadyworking on new material, includinghouse versions of this single and his nextone, “Love is something else”.His main focus at the moment is pro-moting his music locally. Charl, who hasworked with the likes of Chris Brown,Nelly and Ne-Yo, is working on building

a sustainable career for himself in CapeTown, so that he can eventually live herepermanently.He plans to play many shows and festi-vals in the area over the festive season.“I’m just enjoying being home.”

Future plansThat being said, he’s still writing andproducing for international artists.He is planning to fly musicians in fromNew York and Liverpool to help himwork on his new album in South Africa.

Hehopes to release it inMay, as a birth-day present to himself.In between, Charl is also working onhis autobiography with Dallas ghostwriter JennyBlock, to tell the story of hiscareer which has taken him across theglobe. “I want people to understand thereal me.”In the meantime, fans can catch Charlin action when he performs a free showat the Slug and Lettuce at the River Clubin Observatory on Sunday from noon to15:00.V Call 021 448 7906 for more information or tobook for the show. Visit the Babyboy Entertain-ment Facebook page for more about Charl and hisupcoming shows.

Rondebosch sopranoSiphamandlaYakupawill be joining rockheavyweightArnoCar-stens on stage at the Nederburg PicnicPops concert this weekend.They’ll be joined by tenor LukhanyoMoyake, jazz singer Adelia Douw, the Bo-land Community Choir and the Cape Phil-harmonic Youth Orchestra, conducted byBrandon Phillips, on Saturday.The annual benefit concert aims to show-case young and emerging musicians on aplatformwhere they get the opportunity toshare the stage with more recognisednames.Siphamandla believes established art-ists should be doing more to be helping thenext generation of musicians.“I think upcoming musicians need more

information from experienced art-ists with regard to furthering yourcareer in a foreign country andhowyou shouldmarket yourself as an in-dividual.”Although she was alwayssinging at school, the CapeTown Opera staff soloist’ssinging career startedwhen she decided to doher undergraduate studyin Opera Performance.Since then she’s hadthe privilege of singingwith one of the world’smost sought-after per-formers, Welsh baritoneBryn Terfel, when hetoured South Africa last year.“When you hear that you’ll be perform-ing with a big star like Bryn, a lot of things

go through your mind.”Siphamandla wonderedwhat kind of person hewouldbe and whether he’d be easyto work with, but her appre-hensions were soon laidto rest.“Bryn was not onlyamazing on stage but offstage as well; very funnyand always willing to of-fer advice.”Another one of her ca-reer highlights is sing-ing the role of Susannain Mozart’s Le nozze diFigaro.“It was such a wel-

come challenge to do as the role is not onlymentally and vocally challenging, butphysically as well.”

Although she has many favourites, Si-phamandla is a big fan of Puccini anddreams of one day playing the title role inhis Suor Angelica.Apart from preparing for her perform-ance on Saturday, Siphamandla is alsolearning newmusic for CapeTownOpera’supcoming productions and expanding hersolo repertoire so she can enter more com-petitions and auditions next year.The audience can look forward to herrenditions of famous arias from LaTravia-ta and Die Fledermaus at the concert.The concert starts at 18:00, but gates openat 16:00 and families are encouraged tobring snacks and enjoy the afternoon sun.V Tickets cost R100 each from www.webtickets.co.zaand children under 12 enter free.

The players of St Martins softball clubwere put through their paces by Tan-tasports in a Cape Town Softball Asso-

ciation match at Turfhall on Saturday.Had it not been for the eight runs scored

in the sixth and seventh frames, St Martinswould have been staring down a comprehen-sive defeat in a tightly fought encounter.Tantasport will feel hard done by followingthe hard work it put into the five frames pre-ceding the St Martins onslaught.

Tanta sprung into a 4-0 lead after the open-ing four frames, but could not add to its tallyas it would succumb 8-4 to St Martins.

The match saw five pitchers thrown intorotation, where Saints made use of threepitchers – Shanine Groepies, Lindsay Da-mon and Bonita Cloete. Between the threeof them, they saw off seven batters, strikingone out while letting another three walk,conceding three well-deserved hits, result-ing in runs, where one intentional walk wasconceded.

Saints’s third pitcher, Cloete, saw off 13batters, striking out one, while conceding ahit through a fielding error.

Only Aneeqa Davids (1-3) en Kathryn van

Boom (1-4) achieved joy with the bat, beingthe only Tantasport batters to obtain hits.

Nevertheless, they kept Saints honest un-til conceding 9 hits off pitching sisters Rox-anne Albertyn (5) and Justine Stewart (4).

For Saints, Danielle Ford (1-3) and RobinPackery (2-4) hit a home run each and alsoaccounted for six RBIs amongst each other,while Aime Ford (1-2), Damon (1-2) and Han-lynne Cast (2-3) also performed well withpowerful bats.

Other matchesFalcons and Westridge Yankees played to

a 3-3 draw.Defending champion Glenthorn Athletics

from Athlone was far too strong for PDB,thumping it with a 16-0 score line.

Kenfac Phillies triumphed in a titanicstruggle with Normies, securing a 6-4 victo-ry.

St Martins pushed all the way
