Drive­by art like magicASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

A Hout Bay resident has gone the extramile to elevate people to let them, for a

moment, feel some magic and wonder forour world.And he has done this by “lighting up” the

“dark, eerie” Rhodes Drive.Bryan Little, a filmmaker and director at

Fly on the Wall art collective, used reflectortape and signage he designed to entertainmotorists.The initiative, called Endemic, is aimed to

inspire people to recognise thewonder in theworld again.“Endemic in conservation biology means

the animals and plants found here are found

nowhere else in the world; they are uniqueto the Western Cape and the fynbos biome.The truth is that in the fynbosplantkingdomwe have some of the richest biodiversity inthe world,” he says.

travelling on Rhodes Drive towards hishome in Hout Bay. He wanted to give some-thing back to the “dark, eerie” road for allthe inspiration it has given him.Little says the reflector tape idea came

He started the Endemic projectwith the picture of a single owlmounted against a tree in 2013, totest the durability and viability ofthe idea. Then in September lastyear he placed seven more crea-tures to see what the responsewould be and whether peoplewould remove the pieces.“I was verymethodical about the

different testingphases because, asa filmmaker, I am exploring newways of telling stories and thisproject is my first foray into whatI call ‘future film’. As such, I amtrying to explore and reinvent spe-cific elements of filmmaking,” hesays.Little deliberately kept it simple

and only played with certain ele-ments so that by removing the cam-era and placing the audience into

the experience he made it site-spe-cific – “You have to be there and letthe car’s motion be the element oftime and narrative.”“Iworked closelywith sound art-

ist Sylvan Aztok (Simon Kohler),in order to position and geotag thedifferent species and scenes. It wasa delicate balancing act, creatingdifferent environments and timingthe speed of the car with sound ele-ments,” he says.The project will exist until the

species disappear or until the signsare removed from the sites forwhatever reason.This is something that he has

built into the project on purpose.“People get really upset when thecreatures ‘go missing’, myself in-cluded, and I feel that it is appropri-ate that people feel that loss. It

makes the idea of species extinc-tion a little less abstract,” he says.“The fact that someone can feel

sadness, anger, even frustrationover something as elusive as say,a Table Mountain ghost frog,means that I feel I have succeeded,as many of these endemic speciesare endangeredand somecriticallyendangered. The geometric tor-toise, for example, only has a fewhundred left in theworld,” he says.Little has been asked to do some-

thing similar in India and Reunionand has been approached by theEndangered Wildlife Trust to ex-pand the Endemic initiative intoan official project for them, whichLittle finds very exciting.“I would love for it to grow and

perhaps have a life of its own,” headds.

OBSERVATORY

Noisy trucksback up outof roadsTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

Residents in Observatory arelooking forward to months of

peace of mind when a project willtake all the big delivery trucks offLower Main and Lower Scottroads.For years residents had to deal

with the noise that came with thetrucks, until they couldn’t take itanymore. The Premier Millingtrucks also blocked the road anddamaged the pavement.For three years the Observatory

Improvement District (OBSID)tried to find a solution and now,sooner rather than later, some-thing will be done.Brian Amery, OBSID chief oper-

ating officer, says this is a step inthe right direction.“We have been trying to come up

with solutions on how to help andmaintain the beauty and the peace

of the area. We are delighted thata solution has been found. Theywill use an alternative route and atleast the noise won’t be heard andit will be a much bigger road,” hesays.At a meeting last week, Brett

Herron, councillor for ward 57,provided an update on the projectto get the heavy grain-deliverytrucks out of Observatory, particu-larly off Lower Scott Road.Premier Mills has installed a

new weighbridge which leads di-rectly ontoMalta Road. The plan isto use this entry for all trucks en-tering and leaving the site.Trucks leaving the site will start

to use that exit in the very near fu-ture, thus halving the heavy trafficthrough Observatory. Some build-ing modifications are necessarybefore trucks can enter over thenew weighbridge but Premierhopes to complete these changes bySeptember.

Grain-delivery trucks will soon be rerouted from Lower Main and LowerScott roads in Observatory, to the delight of residents.

Week-long robbing spree brokenA crime spree by two men driv-ing awhite Peugeot 207 and span-ning a week came to an abrupthalt on Friday night with theaide of the police.Members of the Western Cape

flying unit arrested two suspectsand recovered a stolen car in thevicinity of Sawkins Road inMowbray at about 19:20.The arrested suspects, aged 31

and 32 years, were being soughtin connection with a string ofcrimes committed in the policingprecincts of Claremont, DiepRiver and Wynberg.The crime spree started on

Monday last week. The suspectsheld up a woman in Firs Avenuein Claremont in the afternoonand robbed her of her handbag,

containing personal items, andher car, the white Peugeot 207,before fleeing from the scene.On Tuesday morning a man

was walking along DoordriftRoad inConstantiawhen twoun-known males driving the whitePeugeot 207 allegedly stoppedalongside him and asked for di-rections.He told them that he did not

know the road in question andproceeded to walk on.As he reached his destination,

he noticed that the same car hadjust driven into the driveway.The passenger then got out andheld him up at knife point.The suspect robbed him of his

laptop, cellphone and wallet be-fore fleeing the scene.

On Wednesday morning thesuspects were again spotted inSpaarman Avenue, where theyheld up a woman at knife pointand robbed her of her handbagcontaining personal items andcash.The arrested suspects, who

hail from Westlake and GrassyPark, appeared in the WynbergMagistrates’ Court yesterday oncharges relating to carjackingand armed robbery.The commander of the Wyn-

berg police cluster, BrigadierAaron Mlenga, applauds the po-lice for their concerted efforts inarresting the wanted suspects.He also wants to assure the com-munity that the police are com-mitted in the fight against crime.

Car guards a parking headache for motoristsThe community of Observatoryand the police areworking tomakesure that the area is rid of illegalinformal car guards.Police spokesperson Sergeant

HiltonMalila says duringmonthlysector forum meetings they re-ceived complaints about carguards demanding money.It came to light that when some

of them don’t get paid by motoriststhey become angry and aggressivetowards themotorists. This has ledto the decision that residents mustreport car guards who are not reg-istered.“We engage with the sector man-

ager to arrest the car guards and

to issue them with spot fines be-cause they operate illegally. Whatthey do is illegal because they don’tbelong to a registered body or com-pany that authorised them to parkcars,” says Malila.Several car guardswere arrested

last month and the police havevowed to continue to work hard tosolve the problem. It is alleged thatmost of the car guardswhowere ar-rested have previous records oftheft out of cars. Most of the areaswhere these car guards are offer-ing their services have been hot-spots for car break-ins.Malila adds: “Weknow that some

of the car parkers do that as a form

of income in order to buy food, butthere are those that do it to buy li-quor andyou find those that are do-ing it to commit a crime, so youcannot blame all the car guards forthings that are going wrong in Ob-servatory.”Whenever the community expe-

riences problems with car parkersthat are demanding cash, they areurged to immediately report it tothe police.Malila says they want to make it

clear that the community must re-member one thing – that no-onecan force money out of you for anopen parking space, if not autho-rised to do so.

App helps you talkover the wallTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

Life is really too short to have to wait forinformation orwait to talk to your neigh-bours.This iswhat thedeveloperof theOurHoodapp, Bruce Good, believes. OurHood wasfounded by Good and Will Mellor, who arebased in Woodstock.This state-of-the-art application and web-site help residents to connect with theirneighbours immediately, in real time.The idea behind this was to get people in-volvedwith their neighbours and give themthe ability to communicate in a faster way.He says the app makes it easy to get helpquickly – be it if your dog has gone missingor you just want to borrow a ladder fromsomeone in your neighbourhood or to findout the load shedding schedule in your area.Good says it will help neighbours sharedifferent kinds of information to help im-prove their neighbourhoods and makethem safe.“Our aim was to fight crime. This will al-low for safer neighbourhoods as people canget assistance in the blink of an eye, as theyare able to communicate in real time. Thiswill allow them to share things and get toknow their neighbourhood and their neigh-bours even better because the more peopletalk they will be closer to each other,” hesays.The app has a very strict verificationprocess for registration. Thiswill allowpeo-ple in the neighbourhoods to connect mucheasier and not allow people who don’t be-

long in the same neighbourhood.Instead of posting a notice in a shoppingmall, this new sophisticated app gives spacefor it and also has a section for importantnumbers.People can report crime, neighbours canbuy and sell items, and share events hap-pening in their area.“Everything is just one click away. Weare also promoting the spirit of sharing. Ifyou want to go camping but don’t have acamping mattress and someone in the areahas it, you can just post on there and some-one will help you quickly. The whole ideais to connect neighbourhoods and promotesafer communities. When people interacttheywill be safer communities,” says Good.Since the app was launched last yearmore than 800 neighbourhoods in South Af-rica have started using it.“People like it because they can reacheach other cheaply and quickly. People areso amazedby it and it hasunlockednewpos-sibilities that they didn’t know about theirneighbourhoods,” he says.Adrian Good, ADT general manager, ful-ly supports the OurHood app and is excitedto be part of it.“We decided to get behind this initiativebecause we recognise the value in real timeconnection. In this day and age it’s crucialthat we know and trust the people we seedaily. Having a platform that allows for con-structive communication while promotinga safe and secure neighbourhood is advan-tageous to all,” says Good.V The app is free and can be downloaded at www.our-hood.co.za, on the Apple store or Google Play store.

Workers fromCity help keeparea cleanTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

The Claremont Improvement DistrictCompany (CIDC) is delighted that for the

first time it has four people from the City’sexpandedpublicworks programme (EPWP)joining in to keep Claremont area clean.These people will be responsible for the

gardening, pruning and trimming of treesand weeding and making sure that theClaremont area is well-kept.This is not only for the benefit of Clare-

mont but to help the homeless as well withsomething to do.CIDC executive manager Abdul Kerbel-

ker says they are happy to have the peoplejoin them.“Since the programme started this is the

first time to have people in Claremont help-ing out. We could do with more hands, sotheywill be responsible forparks, roadsandthe general cleaning. This is not just for thebenefit of this area but helping with job cre-ation as well,” says Kerbelker.The EPWP offers a temporary employ-

ment opportunity but there are also long-term benefits. The workers are skilled inthe application of fertilisers to ornamentalplants and landscapes aswell as the applica-tion of health and safety principles in horti-culture. Their skills extend to controllingweeds manually in plant propagation andlandscaping, as well as pruning and shap-ing ornamental shrubs.The programme offers further opportuni-

ties to those who are willing to share the re-sponsibility to improve their skill set, learnmore and grow in their careers. The horti-culture training course is open to all work-ers who have been on the programme forthree months or longer.The only requirements are that workers

must be dedicated to their jobs, must takea keen interest in the tasks given to themand must have a good work attendancerecord. This work ethic is what will standthem in good stead for future sustainable

employment.Belinda Walker, mayoral committee

member for community services and spe-cial projects, says the City’s parks depart-ment is committed to helping its EPWPworkers improve their skills continuously.“This project is an example of our com-

mitment to preparing our residents for sus-tainable job opportunities. It is also testimo-ny to the fact that the EPWP is not only fortoday, but prepares the workers for, and of,the future. It is this type of collaboration be-tweenCity parks andEPWPstaffwhichwillhelp to make progress possible for unem-ployed residents in Cape Town and encour-age further career development,” saysWalker.

A worker trims trees at the Claremont publictransport interchange.

Beware robbers in VW GolfThe police are on the hunt for a VWCiti Golflinked to several cases of robbery in DiepRiver and Claremont.CaptainAngie Latchman, spokesperson of

the Wynberg police cluster, says residentsshould be on the lookout for a black VWCitiGolf with registration number CA 900112.She urges residents not to confront the oc-

cupants of this car if seen, as they could bearmed and dangerous.“Immediately contact your nearest police

station,” she says.“Since these incidents have been reported

Mother City brewspicturesque caffeine kickNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Cape Town and coffee have more in com-mon than providing enjoyment to on-trendhipsters it seems.

This as the Mother City is crowned thedarling of global coffee culture as the desti-nation features in a bi-annual magazine re-leased by luxury coffee brand Nespresso.

Joining 12 other world-renowned destina-tions, Cape Town is once more in theworld’s spotlight through the magazine’seditorial spread of places to visit, eat and,of course, drink coffee in the city.

Cape coffee cultureCape Town, as the first African city to ev-

er feature in the magazine, was a naturalfit for the brand, explains Pierre Debayle,Nespresso Middle East, Africa and Caribbe-an regional manager.

“A lot of thought goes into the selectionof the featured city in each edition of Ne-spressoMagazine. Cape Town was a naturalfit for Nespresso. With its strong heritage,the city has managed to create its own iden-tity and cultivate a culture aligned to a glob-al audience,” he says.

But don’t let the hipsters fool you, enjoy-ing coffee is an age-old tradition in SouthAfrica due to our many European influen-ces, Debayle says.

Immigrants from Portugal, France, Italyand the Netherlands have all shaped ourcoffee culture, which has blended with themodern trend of restaurants brewing theirown coffee.

The city boasts a range of coffee styles,each with meanings and messages, BelindaWalker, mayoral committee member forcommunity services and special projects,explained at the magazine launch.

“Cape Town has slave coffee, as seen atTruth coffee shop at the Prestwich memori-al, ethical coffee where shops source androast their own beans, and steam punk cof-fee,” she says.

Developing marketsAlthough Cape Town’s mountain, sea and

vineyards make it a prime destination, theattraction lies in the mix of cultures and thelocal energy to explore new trends, from de-sign to music to food, Debayle believes.

South Africa is a steadily growing mar-ket, as luxury brands and quality coffee be-come more accessible to a range of race andclass groups, Debayle says.

“We’re widening our target group be-cause coffee culture is expanding. We’re em-bracing the diversity of the market.”

Giving backThe future of coffee lies in not just grow-

ing local markets, but in sustainable andethical farming, Dabayle says.

This is why the brand has made a choiceto take care of the entire production chain,from the coffee fields to drinkers.

“We only buy the best beans,” he says.“Only 10% of that amount goes towardsmaking our gourmet coffee. Our engineershave compiled best practice guides, whichwe share with our farmers.”

This includes biodiversity tips, as coffeetrees grow best in an environment with oth-er plants.

The brand pays premium rates for coffee,but also works on projects to improve thelives of coffee farmers. As an example ofthis, the company recently instituted a pen-sion scheme for farmers in Columbia, De-bayle says.

This responsibly behaviour has filteredthrough to the consumer level, with eachcoffee pod made out of aluminium, whichis 95% recyclable.

And the pods can be handed in at any ofthe over 400 Nespresso boutique storesaround the world to be sent for recycling.

A taste of Cape TownThe magazine is distributed to over one

million Nespresso Club members world-wide in almost 60 countries.

This kind of exposure will earn CapeTown a big tourism boost, Debayle believes.

“Our clients travel regularly and thismagazine is fantastic exposure for CapeTown. The content reflects a selection of lo-cal club members who provide a guide of thecity. They give our readers the secrets of thecity, not just the popular tourist spots,” hesays.

And for those looking for a taste of theMother City, Debayle already has herpegged. “Cape Town is a cappuccino withintense espresso flavours, made from an In-dia blend with notes of spices like nutmegand black pepper. The milk foam needs tobe there to represent the fog that sometimesrolls in off the sea and there is a touch ofAfrican cocoa on top,” he says.

Coffee was given a Cape Town flavour whenthe city was chosen to feature in Nespresso’sglobal magazine.

TECHNOLOGY

Smartphones unlockedTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

Phones have become an essentialpart of our daily lives.With technology advancing every

day, some are alsoworking tirelesslyto ensure thatno-one is left out of thisworld of ever-evolving technology.Vodacom, in partnership with the

Cape Town Society of the Blind(CTSB) in Salt River, created aunique kiosk to bring the benefits ofthe latest smartphones to the blind.The kiosk, launched on Tuesday

last week, will be operated by CTSBstaff trained to demonstrate the ad-vantages of text-to-speech softwareon the latest touchscreen phones.The CTSB will also benefit finan-

cially from the sale of starter packs,M-pesa and airtime at the kiosk.The text-to-speech function makes

it easier for visually impaired peopleto communicate using their smart-phones. It is now built into thephone, making life much easier.Visually impaired Michelle Botha

(27) uses an iPhone 5 and says thisinitiative is great because, nowa-days, communication doesn’t hap-

pen verbally anymore. “We are ableto connect and check what’s happen-ing on social media. Gone are thedays when we used to ask someoneto read a text for us.Nowwehave ourprivacy and we can make use of thespeech function to listen to the mes-sages that we get as well as to re-spond,” she says.While using a smartphone when

visually impaired isn’t a walk in thepark, Botha says the most importantthing is to play with your phone andget to know it.“It’s just like any other flatscreen

phone that anyone can use. But wehave to know the icons so that it willbe easy to use. But the speech textsreally help a lot,” she says.Lizelle van Wyk, CEO of CTSB,

says this is a great milestone thatthey have been waiting years for.“What we like most about these

phones is that the visually impairedare freed from being dependent.There are specially built apps thatwill allow them to know exactlywhere they are or when to catch abus, get printed texts, listen to booksand be able to read news and be upto date on what’s happening around

them.Most of all it will help them ac-complish important tasks. The kioskwill help in bridging the gap betweenthe visually impaired and those whoare not blind,” says Van Wyk.Albert Breed, managing executive

of Vodacom Western Cape, says it’swonderful that they are able to putsomething together to benefit peoplewho are visually impaired.“It enhances the people’s lives so

that they can do all the things thatnormal people can do. This will un-lock the world of reading and the in-ternet and they will now be able tofunction much more effectively,”says Breed.Vincent Daniel, CTBS public

awareness officer, says the partner-ship is making the kiosk a one-stopspace for everything.“This will help a lot of people that

are blind. In the past people strug-gled to use their phones and they hadtoask forhelp, but thatwill be a thingof the past. These phones are ena-bling us to do things on our own andwe are encouraging people to makeuse of the kiosk to enrich their livesand to keep connected with the restof the world,” says Daniel.

Songs a present to fansLOUISA STEYL

@LouNotes

Cape Town blues rockers CrimsonHouse want to give their new album

away.The band members, who are preparing

to release their third album, Come alive,have decided that instead of selling theirnew release at their launch, they’d like to“gift” the album in digital and physicalformats to new and existing fans.“We wanted to get the music out there,

that’s it,” says Crimson House frontmanRiaan Smit.He says the band doesn’t want to have

to sell the album at one show at a time orhave to fight with distributors and labelsto get it “in the hands of the people wemade it for”.One of the songs on the already com-

pleted album is called “Give it all away”,in which Riaan sings about his soul notbeing “for sale”. “Iwanted to standbehindthat lyric, and this music is my soul, ourcollective souls, and we’re not for sale.”While the recording of Come alive has

already been paid for by regular showsover aperiod of twoyears, CrimsonHousehas partnered with South African crowd-funding company Thundafund to raisemoney to print and distribute the album.Through its Thundafund campaign,

Crimson House fans or “pledgers” canchoose a number of pledge options, fromR100,whichbuys adigital download of thealbum once it’s released, or R150, whichbuys a digital copy of all three CrimsonHouse albumsand a printed version of thenew one, to more expensive options thatbuy merchandise and dinner with theband. An extremely generous fan mightconsider the R100 000 pledge, which buysthe band’s banjo player, Arno van Zyl, orAra as he’s affectionately known, for anight “no questions asked”.Come alive was recorded at Jo Ellis’s

Blueroom Studios in Ladismith. Jo hap-pens to be Riaan’s grandmother’s neigh-

bour and worked on his cousin WilliamWelfare’s (previously Willem Welsyn) al-bum.Riaan describes the recording process

as an amazing journey, despite a roughstart.Theyhad already lost a day of recording

time when they started with their firstsession after Riaan got arrested for spee-ding on his way to Ladismith while liste-ning to the Black Cat Bones’s new album.“I got carried away in a head bang with

Ara and missed the sign.”The detour wasn’t a complete waste,

though. Riaan wrote the song “Holdingcell” while sitting in one.The band has been together for about

five years and Riaan says there’s a senseof brotherhood that comes out in the mu-sic now that they’ve got to know eachother.Besides themore relaxed atmosphere it

was recorded in, Come alive is also diffe-rent from the band’s previous albums,Smoke, dust and whisky and Red shack

rock because it contains 16 songs – morethan their usual nine or 10.The songs were also all tracked live, gi-

ving the album a more “natural feel”.The band is also proud of Come alive’s

albumart, createdbyartistEmilyParadiswhile listening to the album. Emily crea-ted the cover as a physical canvas pain-ting. The original artwork can also bebought as a pledge reward.Once Crimson House has raised its R80

000 target and pledgers have received thealbum, the bandmembers plan to literallythrow the rest off stage at their debut Op-pikoppi performance later this year.Come alivewill be launched at Hillcrest

Quarry in Durbanville on Sunday 26 Julywhere Crimson House will be performingwith the Nomadic Orchestra and Mr Catand the Jackal.V Visit www.thundafund.com/Crimsonhousecome-alive before Friday 26 June to support Crimson Hou-se’s crowd-funding campaign.

Dancers show off their “paw steps”A group of local dancers and artists will co-me together on stage to raise funds for ani-mal sterilisation in the Western Cape.They will perform in Dancers love dogs at

the Artscape Opera House on Saturday.Brigitte Reeve-Taylor started the annual

show and Dancers Love Dogs (DLD) organi-sation in 2012 as a “random act of kindness”and has since brought hundreds of dancerstogether to help furry lives.Since its inception, thenot-for-profit orga-

nisation has raised over R1m to foot the billof sterilising about 6500 animals.The journey began when Reeve-Taylor

rescued a puppy alongside a busy highwayand discovered, on her journey to find help

for the animal, the miserable existence thathomeless animals endure on the streets ofCape Town and its communities.Sterilisations, over time, make an enor-

mous difference in reducing the number ofstrays and unwanted dogs in our society.Themoney raised byDLDalso financially

helps dog ownerswhowant to sterilise theirpets but find the cost too high.This year’s show will be hosted by Bren-

dan van Rhyn, who starred as Frank-n-Fur-ter in the Fugard Theatre’s recent producti-on of The Rocky horror show.The rest of the line-up includes Cape

TownCity Ballet, Cape Junior Ballet, Zama,Vadhini Indian Arts Academy, Ashley and

BradleySearle, theEOANGroup,Art inMo-tion from Johannesburg and AnanadaFuchs, amongst many others.There will also be special appearances by

the SA Guide Dogs Association as well asBob, the “Frenchie” fromSABC3’sExpressoshow.Tickets for the show cost R250, which

equals the cost of two-thirds of one sterilisa-tion, and are available at Computicket.

FIRST TIME’S A CHARM: Ben Matiso of Itheko Sport Athletic Club was the club’s firstmember to finish this year’s Comrades. Here he is being congratulated by fellow clubmembers at a post-Comrades event. Matiso earned a silver medal in a time of 6:01:24.He just missed out on a gold medal and the Wally Hayward medal for finishes under sixhours. What makes this even more remarkable is that it was Matiso’s first Comrades.Other members of the club who ran their first Comrades this year are Salih Solomon,Kamil Suleiman, Faizel Jacobs, Anwar Cassiem, Achmat Jacobs, Redewaan Williams,Taskeen Fakier, Fadeelah Kenny and Tasneem du Toit.
