A part of the LiesbeekRiver where homelesspeople have dumpedtheir belongings.

LIESBEEK

SquattersSquattersSquattersinvadeinvadeinvaderiverriverriver

TIYESE JERANJI@jeranji

The Liesbeek River is a very importantwaterway. It is also used by many towalk and run along.

However, that value could slowly fadeaway if homeless people continue squattingalong sections of the river. Besides squattingthere they are also using the river itself andthe river’s edges to relieve themselves.

The homeless seem to be a headache forpeople managing the area and the river butthey are not leaving anything to chance.They are working around the clock to makesure that the Liesbeek River maintains itsbeauty, no matter what challenges they arefacing.

Anthony Davies, CEO of Groote SchuurCommunity Improvement District, and op-erations manager Charl Brooks met withKyran Wright, river maintenance projectmanager from the Friends of the Liesbeek(FOL), and its committee member, KevinWinter, recently to seek ways of working to-gether, especially to deal with the problemscaused by the homeless squatting along sec-tions of the river.

DiscourageThe Friends of the Liesbeek try to open up

the area to the public to make the river walk-ways more accessible and the pathwaysmore appealing so that people will use themmore often, thereby discouraging the home-less from settling there. They have discov-

ered that where high usage occurs on cer-tain sections of the river, there tends to beless occupation by the homeless.

With winter here, it has been noted thatthe homeless move off to seek better shelter.This provides them with an ideal window ofopportunity to devise a formal plan to dealwith the homelessness before a more seriousproblem develops and summer is back in fullswing.

Being on the river with his team of eightfull-time staff for most of the week Wrightsays he has a very good handle on what ishappening on the river and its surrounds.“The biggest issue we encounter is the dam-age caused by the homeless people livingalong the river bank. They set up temporaryshelters at various spots along the river and

use the river itself and the river’s edges todo their ablutions,” he says.

Disease dangerAccording to Wright, the E. coli count lev-

els are quite high, particularly at the lowerends of the river near Rondebosch andPaarden Island. This creates the potentialfor a breakout of water-based diseases.

Wright has noticed a high turnover ofhomeless people coming into the area andhis concern is that there is a real danger ofpermanent settlements being established.During inspections along the river, he oftenencounters “nests” of structures and belong-ings, usually on top of vegetation and recentFOL plantings.

“They obstruct our landscaping efforts andblock pathways, making it difficult for FOLto carry out its work in the area. We are,however, mindful of the social dilemma andthe need to treat the issue with sensitivityand compassion,” he says.Wright says there are numerous external

organisations, such as the Two Rivers Ur-ban Parkway (TRUP) and the Friends of theRosebank and Mowbray Greenbelt (FROG),as well as the City’s invasive species andparks divisionsworkingwith the samegoalsin mind.However, at times there is very limited

communication between the different enti-ties.“There is a tendency to work in isolation

and we are working together to rectify this.So far there is a good working relationship

and we wish to maintain that,” he adds.Davies says he understands the signifi-

cance of the river to the people that use it.“We are trying to find ways to curb the chal-lenge, bearing in mind the importance ofthis historic river and the interest it holdsin the minds of our community.“We would like to share some of our

thoughts and how we together approach themanagement of this wonderful waterway,”he says.The Liesbeek River Life Plan is a recently

formed collaborative effort between the FOLand UCT’s Urban Water Management re-search unit. It is the brainchild of Winter,who is also of UCT’s Environmental and Ge-ographical Science Department, and aims torestore and offer better support to the socialand ecological life of the Liesbeek River.

Strong familiesprotect childrenWith the hope of entrenching a culture

of action and accountability for chil-dren’s rights and protection SOSChildren’sVillages are drawing attention to the plightof 11.4mSouthAfrican childrenwho are liv-ing in extreme conditions of poverty, abuseand neglect.Child Protection Week was celebrated

last week.

ExposedMosa Moremi, a children’s rights advocateat SOSChildren’s Villages SouthAfrica, ex-plains the burden of HIV/Aids “is tearingapart family structures and leaving ourmost vulnerable children exposed and dev-astated”.“The alarming rates ofwomenabuse is al-

so a very worrying factor, since violenceagainst mothers will have direct and seri-ous consequences for the children living insuch a dysfunctional family environment,”Moremi says.SOS Children’s Villages work to protect

the rights of orphaned, abandoned and vul-nerable children, providing “a lovinghome” with a family that cares for theirneeds. Moremi says that unfortunately thedemand for this care in South Africa mas-sively surpasses the supply, and the organi-sation realises that urgent intervention isneeded to strengthen family units withinthe community in order to care for theirchildren.“Through this realisation, the family-

strengthening programme was born. It of-fers prevention and early intervention ser-vice. Our programme is focused onstrengthening and rebuilding familieswithin communities with the end objectiveof self-sufficiency,” Moremi says.SOS Children’s Villages implement and

support various programmes includingheathcaremanagement, childhood develop-ment centres, community awareness cam-paigns, income-generating projects andworkshops to educate communitymemberson how to improve their circumstances.The community forums bring various

community-based organisations and localgovernment services together so that thecommunity can raise concerns about ser-vice delivery, safety and other issues.

“Removing a child from parental or fami-ly care should be a last resort when it isclear that the childmay be in danger of hav-ing its rights violated, and where there isno hope of remediation at that time. Ouraim is to keep family units together withintheir communities where this is possible,”says Moremi.

Access to basicsMoremi further says that the reality is thatwidespread poverty and inequality haveleft many communities and families in cri-sis. High levels of unemployment, particu-larly youth unemployment, low morale, to-tal lack of even the most basic services andrampant corruption are leaving “our poorcommunities more vulnerable than ever,and in turn, our children are suffering be-yond comprehension”.At a very basic level the family-strength-

ening programme, together with its part-ners, ensures that these families have ac-cess to the basics such as food, shelter,clothing, education and access to health-care and government grants through thevarious programmes run in the communi-ties.“Child protectiondoes, however, gomuch

further than providing for the basic needsof the child. We endeavour to educate thecommunity about the dangers lurking incommunities for children,” Moremi says.In these communities “abuse is rife” and

many children live through this horror ev-ery day, “often perpetrated by others inchild-to-child bullying or violence”.“We inform the community of the steps

that can be takenwhen there is abuse of anynature, whether physical, sexual or sub-stance abuse in their household or a neigh-bouring household,” explains Moremi.The awareness campaigns help commu-

nities to understand children’s rights andwhat to do when these rights are violated.They help people to identify potential childabuse cases and protect their children frombecoming victims.“Every step towards improving one per-

son’s life is a step in the right direction. It’sall about caring for each other on a personallevel. Not just during child protectionweek,but every day,” concludes Moremi.

Lock your car beforeheading for the shopsThe Pinelands police are calling on all resi-dents and people who go to the mall to be ex-tremely careful when locking their cars.They are encouraging motorists to manu-

ally double-check after locking their cars,because they have recently experienced anincrease in theft out of cars. These incidentshave happened mostly at malls and shop-ping centres around Pinelands.Captain Anton van Derberg says the per-

petrators gain access to the cars using re-mote jamming.“We currently have two reported cases.

When you lock your car with the remote,please feel on the door if it’s really locked.Remote jamming is becoming a problem andwe are urging people to be careful,” he says.Incidents that have been reported are

from Howard Centre, and previously fromCentral Square.

These scooters too light to lift, say policeTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

Don’t park your motorbike on the side ofthe road.This is the warning from the Ronde-

bosch police, calling mostly on owners ofthe Gomoto, Big Boy and MotoMia to stopparking their scooters on the side of theroad. This is because these bikes are easyto steal.Police spokesperson Warrant Officer

Lyndon Sisam says more than seven mo-torbikeswere stolen in theRondebosch ar-ea over the past four months.“This office discourages the owners of

small motorbikes like Gomoto, Big Boyand MotoMia from parking the motor-

bikes on the side of the road. It’s very easyto lift and remove it with no effort. We ad-vise that they use anti-theft devices to se-cure the motorcycles,” says Sisam.It has come to light that thieves are also

targeting bicycles. They have been stolenfrom garages over the past few weeks.The community is advised to secure

their bicycles with a strong chain or lock-ing device even while it’s stored in the ga-rage.Owners should ensure that they have a

photo of the bike and record the bicycle’sframe number in a safe place.Police are also asking the community to

be awareof anold greenVWJettawith twocoloured occupants who are involved instreet robberies in the Rondebosch area.

LastweekTuesdayat about 20:10 a 22-year-old male student was walking to UCTdownLoverswalk inRondeboschwhenhenoticed an old green Jetta with two occu-pants stopping a few metres from him.“The passenger got out and asked the

complainant where he was going. Thensuddenly the suspect pulled out a firearmand pointed it at him and robbed him ofhis laptop and iPhone. The suspect thenran back to the green Jetta and drove off,”he says.The police are appealing to people in

that area to be very vigilant.They are also appealing to anyone with

information regarding the robbery to con-tact Detective Warrant Officer AllenMoore on 083 651 1018.

UCT student stabbed on campusTIYESE JERANJI

@jeanji

A fourthyearUniversity ofCapeTownstu-dent, Sibusiso Mpendulo, says the secu-

rity at their residence is not good and itneeds to be beefed up.This follows after he was stabbed on the

right side of his chest whilst trying to helpa flat mate. Mpendulo says he went lookingfor the security guard for 10 minutes andspent 15 minutes on the phone trying to gethelp, but all that was in vein.Mpendulo was studying in his North

Grange campus room when he suddenlyheard someone screaming for help. He re-calls that it was around 23:00 when he heardthe screams and hewent out to see what washappening.“As I arrived there my flatmate said I

should call security to remove the two wom-en who were attacking him. They smelled ofalcohol and they had a knife. That’s whenI went to the guard room to look for the secu-rity guard, but he was nowhere to be seen.I went back to help my friend as the twowomen became angrier and angrier,” he ex-plains.He alleges that they pleadedwith thewom-

an to put the knife down, but thewomen saidthey will only do so if they give them theiraccess cards so that they can go out.“I couldn’t do that as it is againstUniversi-

ty policies. When we did not swipe her andher friend out she grabbed the knife againand stabbed me in my chest. I was alreadybleeding at the time and I was on theground,” he says.The Film and Media studies student says

as if that wasn’t enough, when the securityguards later arrived, they let the womenleave even though they saw that they hadstabbed him. He was taken to the GrooteSchuur Hospital.“Security on campus is not good. We have

to always remain vigilant. We tried all in

vain to locate the security guards and afterseeing what these women have done they letthem go,” says Mpendulo.Student Representative Council president

Ramabina Mahapa says he is aware of thematter, but they haven’t really had time todiscuss it and get all the relevant informa-tion as they are busy with exams. He saidthey will look into it in their next meetingwhen they are done with exams.Patricia Lucas, Manager: Media Liasion

at UCT, confirmed that their student wasstabbed at one of their residences, but thewoman who stabbed him isn’t a student andshe was visiting a student.“It is true that when campus security re-

sponded to the emergency call, they founda woman at the access gate and allowed herto leave. We are investigating this matter.We are working with the police in the inves-tigation of the incident.“The student who was hosting the suspect

has provided a statement as well as the ad-dress of the suspect. Mpendulo was referredto the student wellness service with regardto both hismedical and psychological needs,and he is welcome to return for further as-sistance and treatment. Student wellness inturn referred him to Groote Schuur hospitalfor the treatment of his wounds. The univer-sity has since moved the injured student toa different residence. We are in contact withthe student and we are seeing to his needsas he recovers,” says Lucas.Lucas added that the University security

service provides a team that patrols bothNorth Grange and a neighbouring resi-dence. “Security features at the residenceare standard for UCT facilities: security fen-cing surrounds the property and access isavailable only to residents,who are suppliedwith access cards. It is believed that the stu-dent who knew the suspect had allowed herinto the residence as a guest. With thou-sands of students staying in campus residen-ces, it is impossible to monitor each of them

and their visitors,” she says.Police spokespersonCaptainAngie Latch-

man confirmed the incident. “It is allegedthat an altercation ensued between the vic-tim and the woman which resulted in herproducing a knife and stabbing the victimonhis chest. It is further alleged that the sus-

pect then fled from the residence. The victimwas taken to hospital by an ambulancewhere he received medical assistance. Acharge of assault with intent to do grievousbodily harm has been registered at SAPSMowbray.Anarrestwill bemade shortly. In-vestigations are continuing,” she says.

Sibusiso Mpendulo shows whereis he was stabbed.

Teenagerbullied atschoolTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

A mother of a Grade 11 pupil at GrooteSchuur High School in Newlands is

heartbroken as she is nursing the woundsof her son who was bullied at school.

Michelle Heuvel says her 17-year-old soncame home from school on Monday lastweek with a swollen face. It is alleged thatthree boys from his class made him a punch-ing bag whilst one of them held his handsbehind his back.

His mother says the bullying has been go-ing on verbally since last year when he firstjoined the school.

Heuvel believes all this is happening be-cause his classmates are jealous of hisachievements.

Easy target“They are jealous because he is a good

child. He performs very well in class and hehas good manners. He doesn’t drink orsmoke like them. His Business Studiesteacher used his project to show others howto do their work and they don’t like that.They have been noticing that teachers likehis work so he has become an easy targetfor them,” she says.

The mother says seeing her child hurtlike that was very disturbing because shesent her son to school to learn.

“I was so shocked when I saw him. I wasso furious and angry. I went to the schoolto discuss this but haven’t really got muchhelp. I pay a lot of money for my child tolearn, not to have other kids that are notwell-groomed at their homes bring that toschool,” says Heuvel.

Since the incident happened her child hasmissed school and she doesn’t want him togo back. Now the mother is worried thatthis will affect his grades as they are writingexams.

School responds“My child is missing exams because he

has to get better before going to school. Heis in so much pain. The left side of his face,going to the ear, was so swollen. He is sucha hard-working person. I have contacted allthe relevant authorities as I want this issueto be addressed. This will affect his gradesand he won’t achieve the grades that he setfor himself because he is sitting at home,”says Heuvel.

School principal Marius Ehrenreich says

he is aware of the matter.“No one can solve it. However, we have

an excellent follow-up system at the school.We are looking into it. The mother mustcome to see,” he says

Code of conductPaddy Attwell, department of education

spokesperson, says the district office hasdiscussed the matter with the school.

“The school is dealing with the matter inline with its code of conduct. The head ofdepartment at the school responsible forpastoral care has explained these proce-dures to the pupil’s mother. The school hasalso discussed the incident with the parentsof the other pupils allegedly involved. Ac-cording to the school, the pupil did not re-port that he was being bullied. The disci-plinary process will look at the context ofthe alleged fight, and the incident itself.There are different versions about whothrew the first punch.”

He encourages victims of bullying ortheir parents to report bullying to the prin-cipal, who will deal with the matter in linewith school policy.

“Our district offices provide training forschools on how to deal with bullying. Oursocial workers and school psychologistswill also provide support. We encourageschools to use these services,” adds Attwell.

Pupils and parents can also call the SafeSchools call centre for advice on0800 45 46 47.

My child ismissing examsbecause he hasto get betterbefore going toschool. He is inso much pain.

my of Life Coaching says she couldn’t takeall the negatives that people focused on andglorified so she decided to take a stand. Thisled to the birth of her academy.TheAcademywas established seven years

ago to help bring out the best in people andto help people focus on the good things inlife. Another aim is to help people findstrength inside themselves and take life onwith a more positive mindset.Since itwas created theAcademyhas seen

many people come through the doors to getknowledge of how to help others extract thegood that is embedded in themselves.On Saturday, the Academy saw at least 33

life coaches graduating after finishing theircourse of six months. The graduation cere-mony was held at Golden Groove PrimarySchool in Rondebosch, which has becomethe home of the Academy over the years.

UncoverKeynote speaker at the graduation cere-

mony was coach facilitator Nadia Mason,who said the graduates were there to makeall the difference for the people in their com-munities.Quoting from Michelangelo, she said “in-

side every block of marble is a work of artto be discovered”.She emphasised that life coaches were not

there to fix their clients but to help them un-cover what is within.“Add value to the world and someone’s

life. Be aware of the areas they need to devel-op. Life coaches have a critical role to playin our society. When you’re coaching, planto be the best listener, not to win, becauseyou can’t fix people. Do not harm but makeit your intention to be the best coach andmost of all be the best listener,” she says.

Change mindsetA graduate from Manenberg, Monneb

Issacs (18), said his wish was to turn the badname of Manenberg around.“I want to help other person see the good

in their everyday life. I feel good that aftermonths of hard work I have finally graduat-ed, but the real work will start when I beginto help other people.“Mydreamis to change themindset of peo-

ple aboutManenberg – there are good thingsthat can come out of there.“I want to get the best out of people. We

should stop talking about the negatives butsee the good that surrounds us,” he said.Another graduate, Razaan Kamaldien

(45), said life coaching was about being ableto ask the right questions and help someoneunderstand their situation.“Life coaching unravels the best in some-

onebut beforeyouhelp someone itmust firstchange you. It has helped me to learn moreabout myself, accept what happened. Beinga coach is about being able to say that yesthis might have happened to me but be ableto see the good in yourself and live in themo-

ment. People must realise their full poten-tial,” said Kamaldien.

Ready to helpManshon said they were very grateful for

the milestone that they have achieved.“It brings tears to the eye each time we

talk about what we have been through.Mostof all it’s heart-warming to see people whoare ready tohelp others see the good in them-selves out there. We are happy that we aredoing our bit to make the world a betterplace,” said Manshon.

Schools must be a safe place foreveryone, on all frontsTIYESE JERANJI

Pupils go to school to learn, but in doing sotheymust learn ina safe andconducive envi-ronment.The Education Safety andGovernanceAs-

sociation (ESGA) hosted a breakfast forschools to emphasise the importance of safe-ty at schools at Southern Sun in Newlandson Friday last week.The organisation admits that though it is

difficult to manage safety at schools, teach-ers and those in charge of the pupils mustprepare to protect their schools and makesure that pupils are safe at all times.The aim of the launch was to let educators

know that even though there are challengesin their schools, ESGA is there to help.ESGA gives workshops on how to deal

with different challenges a schoolmight face– be it drugs, gangs or bullying.Other than that they also focus on occupa-

tional health. This is where they train edu-cators on the importance of hygiene aroundthe school, safe buildings, and first aid.JohnBuswell, ESGA’smanaging director,

said schools focus so much on the curricu-lum that they forget the importance of safetyat school.“Though the number one goal is that chil-

dren must learn, they must do so in a safeenvironment. Theworkshopswe offer equipeducators to make sure the pupils are in asafe environment. We want to keep childrensafe. These are the things that they are nottaught at college but they are very impor-tant, so we develop those areas for the safetyof our kids,” he says.It was highlighted that for schools cannot

ignore health and safety issues.Paul Londal, ESGA’s general manager,

said schools must be a safe place for all.

“Schools are easy targets for drug pushers.Safety in schools is a very complex issue butwe must create a safe environment for ev-eryone who goes there. We are here to helpyou put those safetymeasures in place. Safe-ty measures mustn’t be neglected.“It’s a broad issue involving swimming

pools at the school, buildings as well as howto put those pupils in the bus when they aregoing for a trip. We want everyone to be safeand that’s why we are encouraging educa-tors to take part in the works schools.”ESGA are hosting an anti-bullying work-

shop at Groote Schuur High School in Newl-ands and they are inviting other schools totake part in the workshop as it will tackleissues around bullying. Some of the thingsto be discussed will include the definition of

bullying, identification of the 11 types of bul-lying, understanding the impact of bullyingon pupils, symptoms of bullying behaviour,the pupil who is bullied and development ofan anti-social bullying policy.Caradale Primary’s principal Ezra Car-

else, who attended, adds that safety atschools is of paramount importance.“When parents send their children to

school they place them in our care. So it isvery important to make sure that whilstthey are learning they do so in a safe envi-ronment. This can’t be compromised andweare glad that there are people who are will-ing to help us make our schools safe. It’s agood thing and we will also take the ball andrun with it to make sure that our pupils aresafe at all times,” he says.

MOTIVATION

‘Yet’ has morepossibilitiesTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

When someone fails, it’s easy to sit backand beat yourself up.

Most people are too embarrassed to tryagain because they are afraid of failing andwhat people would say if they continue tofail at a task that seems simple to other peo-ple.They listen to that little voice that tells

them to stop trying because people willlaugh at them.This is why Citadel Investment Services,

in association with the South African Col-legeHighSchool (Sacs) inNewlands, hostedits first “Parent and sons” leadership sum-mit last week. The summit is a part of theschool’s annual cultural programmes.The summit was aimed to help parents

and their children do away with a fixedmindset and to adopt the “growthmindset”to be successful in life.In a growth mindset people believe that

their most basic abilities can be developedthrough dedication and hard work; brainsand talent are just the starting point. Thisview creates a love of learning and a resil-ience that is essential for great accomplish-ment. Virtually all the great people havehad these qualities.This year, the theme that Sacs will be fo-

cusing on is “Adopting a growth mindset”.To talkmore about it the school invited An-drew Finlayson, Citadel’s marketing andnew business development director and aSacs old boy, to share stories of people thathe has worked with who embody the char-acteristics of a growth mindset, with theaim to inspire attendees.

After a brief introductionbySacs teacherDawn Siso, on the theory of mindset, andthe difference between a fixed and a growthmindset, Andrew set the scene by compar-ing the “tyranny of now” and the “possibili-ty of yet”.“We often get stuck in the present and

take a results approach as opposed to aprocess approach. Therefore, we do notlook into what possibilities there are in thefuture,” said Finlayson.He discussed how adopting a growth

mindset could help individuals to work to-wards the “possibility of yet”, before goingon to give examples from successful peoplehe has worked with, who demonstrate thefollowing characteristics of a growthmind-set:

Embrace challengesErnst van Dyk, a South African wheel-

chair racer and hand cyclist who has wona record 10 wheelchair titles in the BostonMarathon, amongst other titles. Ernstshowed determination to achieve whatmany might see as impossible.

Persist in the face of set-backsJean de Villiers (SA Springbok rugby

captain), despite numerous injuries whichmany other peoplemay not have overcome,continues to fight his way back from a re-cent crippling injury to achieve his goal ofleading the Springboks to glory at thisyear’s Rugby World Cup.

See effort as the path to masteryThe SA rowing team won gold at the 2012

Olympics and knew that their rigoroustraining programme enabled them to pushharder than others on their path to success.

Learn from criticismSiyabulela Xuza, an energy engineering

Harvardgraduate whogrewup inMthatha,won the Intel International Science and En-gineering prize for formulating the key rec-ipe of rocket fuel. After 77 failures and oversix months of building his rocket, he wasable to find the winning recipe, learningfrom continuous feedback.

Find lessons and inspiration from thesuccess of othersFinlayson asked attendees to look in the

mirror to realise the successes they havewithin themselves and to be aware of thepeople who might be able to share theirwealth of knowledge with them.He commended the school and teachers

for conceptualising the summit.“It is a great way for parents and pupils

to have a positive discussion about the fu-ture andwhat they can do tomake themostof their circumstances and opportunities,”he said.

Andrew Finlayson, Citadel InvestmentServices marketing and new businessdevelopment director, spoke at a Sacssummit on the growth mindset.

• Residential Tariffs: Overall revenue increase from the group is 10.82%,but individual customers will likely see different values based on actualconsumption. The difference between the average and the actual increase arisesfrom the recovery of the shortfall of revenue from the Lifeline Block 1 rate.

• A consumer receiving 450kWh per month will see the same percentageincrease irrespective of which tariff they are on,meaning there is no change tothe level of subsidy received by these consumers on the Lifeline tariff.

• Free Basic Electricity: Lifeline tariff customers receiving less than 250kWhpermonthon averagewill receive a free basic supply of 60kWh,with those receiving between250kWh and 450kWhpermonth on averagewill receive a free basic supply of25kWhpermonth.

• The Residential SSEG tariff gains a second block aligned to the Domestic TariffBlock 2 to prevent customers installing exceptionally small generators andreceiving a large reduction in account without actually generating any electricity.

• Small Power User 1 with Off Peak combination will be restricted to existingcustomers only from 1 July 2012. The Off Peak components also increase by anabove average amount as a step in the phasing out of this tariff.

• Small Power User 1 tariff receives a slight structural adjustment in line with theCost of Supply study outcomes.

• Time of Use tariffs restructured to ensure the Medium Voltage tariff at minimumhas parity with EskomMegaflex.

• Commercial tariffs see a slightly above average increase as a result of therecovery of the subsidy provided for the Atlantis TOU tariff.

NOTE: Monthly Service Charges are calculated as the Daily Service Charge multipliedby number of days in billing period.

Have you ever felt like the wool is being pulled over youreyes?That is perhaps the best way to describe the collective

feeling of many Capetonians when it comes to propertydevelopment.While no-one would for a minute say development is

a bad thing, decisions seem to be made between councilofficials and developers. The contributions of the public,the community and even the neighbours seem to be castaside, applied onlywhere it is absolutely necessary or noteven asked for in the first place.Too often, neighbours are fobbed off with the lines “It’s

within the property zoning” or “Due process was fol-lowed”.But as a transparent administration, is it not the job

of council to give residents information on which deci-sions are being made and why they are being made?And if they are, as they say, a “caring and inclusive

city”, one would hope they would listen to the opinionsof those living within their administration.Yet we witness the opposite on a regular basis.Pensioners living in council flats along De Waal Drive

may be forced out to make way for a high-end residentialdevelopment.Public open space in Clifton is under threat of develop-

ment, which will include 40 homes, a hotel and shops.It’s not that we don’t want to see our city flourish, with

investment pouring in and infrastructure improving.But canyouexpect the local community towatchas gen-

trification spreads across the city, fromWoodstock to SeaPoint, and say nothing?Canyoureally expectus, in this ageof information flow,

to blindly sign off on developments ofwhichwehave beengiven absolutely no details?It’s time to come clean and declare what is being built,

where, and how it will affect those around it.

More adventure than I bargained forI joined the scouting movement as a cubin 2008. I moved up to Scouts at thebeginning of 2010. At the time I wasunaware of the life that lay before me.I thought I was joining a rather lame

movement, where I would spend myweekends tying knots, practising FirstAid and helping old ladies cross theroad.So I was quite surprised when I

realised what it really was.I have spent nights on Table Moun-

tain, slept in tents in the middle ofnowhere, spent ten days hiking throughthe Cederberg mountain range, sailed in

regattas at Simon’s Town and built andslept on rafts made from poles.Later in the year I will be travelling to

Japan for almost 20 days for the 23rdWorld Scout Jamboree. Thousands willbe attending, including the king ofSweden and Bear Grylls. I’ve done allthis, and I’m only 16.I’ve learnt leadership, which in these

times is more essential than ever. I’velearnt to never give up and how to keepsmiling when times get bad. I’ve madelifelong friendships, met extraordinarypeople and visited places in Cape Townpeople have never heard of.

This is only half of the kind of stuffthat awaits you when you become aScout.My life changed and became an

adventure. For all those who think theyare up for the scouting adventure, join.

TAMING THE TEEN

How to fail effectivelyGAVIN FISH

Fight with your parents.Use phrases like “Of course I am study-

ing, what do you think I am doing?” or,“Relax, Dad, you are far too tense, I havegot plenty of time” or “I am on a studybreak, Mom, no-one can study forever.”Slam your door; be obnoxious and rude.

When your parents leave you alone, youwill have succeeded in your mission.

ProcrastinateDelay, delay, delay! Find other, nicer

things to do, wait until the absolute lastminute before starting studying.Spend longer on your cellphone, in the

shower, at the gym, startwatching theNa-tional Geographic channel because it is“relevant to what I need to be studying,Mom”.Examine your skin, start a new novel

– the thicker the better – procrastinate.

Believe the voices in your head“You can’t do this, you have never un-

derstood it, you never will, so why try?”“I don’t know where to start.”“Hey relax, you can always pass at the

end of the year. June doesn’t count, thereis plenty of time.”“You will always get a low D no matter

how hard you try.”

Be disorganisedEnsure that you have lost at least two

of your textbooks or notebooks. Be carefulnot to stick your notes in and definitelynot in the correct order.Ensure that you are unsure what you

have to study.Stay at home in the last few days before

you write to catch up on the work you ha-ven’t started to study yet.

Pretend you are studyingOpen your textbook, read it occasional-

ly, don’t underline, highlight, write downkeywords, revise difficult sections, teachthe work back to yourself or use the notestaken in class.Do it on your bed at an angle as close

to completely horizontal as you can. Just

sort of read your textbook.

Ignore your goalsBetter still, don’t have any goals at all,

then you can’t be disappointed with yourmarks.Think of today only. Tomorrow,manya-

ne, we can worry about becoming a doc-tor, a physiotherapist, a teacher, a humanresource manager, an executive secre-tary.Later, not now.

Ignore the obviousDon’t ask for help with the fact that you

freeze up in exams with anxiety.Tell nobody that you are dealing with

emotional issues thatmake studying diffi-cult or impossible.

Blame someoneBlame anyone.Howabout the loadshed-

ding? That cold that you can feel comingon, just how bad your History, Science,Technology, Geography teacher is, the ex-am paper that sucked, the hall that wasjust too cold… Blame somebody!

lands has been playing competitively for thepast two years but started playing in thepark next to her house when she was justtwo.“My father played sports and one day he

taught me how to kick the ball in the park.Since then I liked playing the game,” shesays.“She is a natural,” says Riedewaan, her fa-

ther.Riedewaan also played soccer and did ath-

letics inhis youngerdays. The twonow traintogether every week.Nabeelah’s mother Fazlin says she is her

for me. She is his focus. Of all the coachesshe has, he is one of her best motivators,”she says.Riedewaan explains that he does not push

her too hard, working on scheduled train-ing. “We did squats and weights the one dayso the next we just took a jog,” he says.Nabeelah also does athletics and swim-

ming for various clubs.The busy sports fanatic juggles a hectic

long career in sport. However, Fazlin says,Nabeelah knows the rules.“I have very strict rules for Nabeelah and

she knows it is education first. She says shewants to be on the soccer field so I told herto study into a soccer field,” says Fazlin.Nabeelah is not sure where her education

will lead her yet but she has high hopes forthe future. “I want to play for ManchesterUnited one day,” she says with a shy giggle.Although she supports the team she still

hopes to see herself wearing national col-ours in the next five years.Fazlin says she is such an inspiration for

the community.“Everywhere we go people tell us how in-

spired they are by her,” she says.The little go-getter started her own sport-

ing career when she approached the localsoccer club to join about two years ago.She playedwith the boys andwhen the op-

portunity rose to play for a local women’steam she jumped at the chance to showwhatshe’s got.Fazlin and Riedewaan agree that support

is very important.“We support her and we spend time with

her at the soccer field whenever she has amatch. This is what she wants to do and wewill be behind her every step of the way,”Fazlin says.Fazlin says they juggle a busy schedule,

ensuring both their children’s hobbies areseen to, but they would not change it for theworld.“She is 11 and already playing with grown

women,” Fazlin boasts, saying she has ma-tured beyond her years.Nabeelahwants to inspire others to follow

their dreams.“I want people to see that it is possible to
