Interchangeupgrade isready to ridePUBLIC transport is getting a
face-lift.
The City plans to upgrade thepublic transport interchanges overthe next five years.
It has become apparent the Cityhas had to accommodate the growthin demand for access and mobility.
There will be a specific focus on25 interchanges, with the improve-ments costing around R321 million.
Councillor Brett Herron, Mayor-al Committee Member for Trans-port says: “Our proposed upgradeswill ensure that transport is acces-sible and inclusive, providing linksbetween the communities and em-ployment, education, health, com-munity services and other services.Additionally, we want to ensurethat they become interesting socialspaces and lively parts of the City.”
This improvement programmeforms part of the City’s MobilityStrategy, which supports the devel-opment of a balanced transport sys-tem. It focuses onall elements of ourtransport system.
The City currently has over 213public interchanges of different siz-es and functionality. These facili-ties are located along the rail androad based public transport net-work where commuters can changebetween different types of transpor-tation. In this regard, an inter-change is defined as a place where
transport services meet.“Over 54% of our commuters de-
pend on public transport, whetherby road or trains. As a result, mostof the public transport interchang-es are overcrowded due to growthin demand. They need to be expand-ed urgently,” says Herron.
The 25 projects including Park-and-Ride facilities at five inter-changes to be implemented over thenext five years are in various stagesof development across the City.
A number of the projects are cur-rently in design, tender and underconstruction. Upgradesthe follow-ing interchanges including CapeTown CBD, Retreat and Wynberg.
Precinct developments includeprovision of signage, CCTV andsurveillance facilities, lighting,landscaping, integration of tradingfacilities and health facilities.
“Once the process for acquiringprofessional service providers andadditional capacity is completed,the affected subcouncils, wardcouncillors and affected communi-ties will be consulted on these facili-ties’ design and plan,” says Herron.
The City will pay attention tocommuters’ safety at these inter-changes, through the deployment ofa dedicated law enforcement unitfor public transport, as well as keepthese environments clean and pro-vide ongoing maintenance of the in-terchanges to prevent vandalism.

Dear reader,
Thankyou foryourheartwarming, inspira-tional response to my column last week.
As touched as you have been by my storyabout my mother’s life with cancer, so toohave I been moved and inspired by your per-sonal accounts. Your triumphs, challengesand the noble work many of you are doing inraising awareness about cancer, and fundsfor the treatment of this disease, are truly in-spirational.
I commend you for the courage andstrength you have shown in your own person-al experience of cancer and the journey youhave walked or continue to undertake withthose you love, in the face of a very challeng-ing illness.
I have drawn much strength and inspira-tion from your emails, letters and SMSes andfeel humbled by your kind feedback. Enlight-ened by your prayers and positive thoughtswhich I have conveyed to my mother, I havelearnt much in a short time, and my accept-
ance around the process of life and loss hasbegun to grow. The “now” matters more thananything else and realising this, helps to en-rich my interaction with my mother and oth-er people who share my life. I continue to re-gard myself as very blessed to have both myparents.
All of us at People’s Post have been sotouched by our readers’ responses to “Mymother, my hero” that we are publishingthem elsewhere in this edition of People’sPost.
An issue close to my heart is the welfareand empowerment of women and I am look-ing forward to attending the 1 000 WomenUnited Against Domestic Violence luncheon,organised by the Wheat Trust this week. Thisannual event takes place on Thursday at theCape Town International Convention Centreand will see 1 000 women from different back-grounds take a stand against domestic vio-lence; together with the Minister of Scienceand Technology, Naledi Pandor, Minister ofWomen, Children and People with Disabili-
ties, Lulu Xingwana and poet Bulelwa Basse.Domestic violence is cited as the second
biggest pandemicwomen inSouthAfrica faceafter poverty, with 90% of South Af-rican women experiencing physi-cal or emotional violence in theirhomes every day.
When confronted by this alarm-ing statistic, I believe that it is en-cumbent on all communities to con-cern themselves with the safety, se-curity and wellbeing of everywoman and child in this country.
To this end, the work and contin-ued survival of organisations suchas the Saartjie Baartman Centre(SBC) for Women and Children, isof paramount importance.
I had the privilege of working atthis centre a while back and witnessed first-hand the extent of love, support and empow-ering opportunities given to the many abusedwomen who find their way find there. Organi-sations such as SBC are often the only lifeline
for countless abused women and their chil-dren, most of whom have nowhere else to go.
Of the many heartbreaking stories I’veheard, I was most saddened by the story ofan elderly woman whose husband began us-ing Tik and started beating her relentlessly.I’m familiar with the facts around domesticabuse; that it not only affects young, poor andunemployed women, but hearing this wom-
an’s story was particularlypainful. How sad to see yourgolden years out this way.
I apologise if my columntends towards more seriousissues presently, with my on-ly light observation this weekbeing an admission of guilt: Ihavenot been running for twoweeks and know that I’ll behuffing and puffing throughmy planned 10km race on 27May.

Cox stabbing: clergy safety at stake?THE Catholic priest stabbed in the
Constantia church reportedly shout-ed for help, but nobody heard him.
Father Andrew Cox was stabbed at theOur Lady of the Visitation Catholic Church,in Price Drive, Constantia last Sunday.
Cox is reported to have called for help af-ter his attackers stabbed him and lockedhim in the church’s walk-in safe.
A private security guard hut some dis-tance from the church property was too farfor the guards to hear the fracas.
ADT’s Western Cape managing directorRob Dale says, as a result, the guards were“unable to see or hear anything” out of theordinary at the church.
He believes the suspects gained access tothe church grounds from Constantia MainRoad.
“The hut is situated about 100 metres fromthe church premises in Price Drive, whichruns perpendicular to Constantia MainRoad, and the rear faces the church.
“It is not possible any person in or at thehut would have been able to see or hear whatwas happening on the church property.”
During the incident Cox was brutallystabbed in his leg and back when three menassaulted him while he was locking up afterMass, about 19:30.
He reportedly could not identify his balacl-ava-clad attackers who reportedly tried togouge Cox’s eyes out, stuffed plastic in hismouth and tried to break his fingers in theattack, which lasted about 30 minutes.
The clergyman (50) is believed to have dis-armed his attackers, but could not bringhimself to stab them, say reports.
They dragged him into the safe and tiedhim up, running off with about R3 500.
A bleeding Cox spent the night in the safe.The church secretary came upon him 12hours later – at 8:00 the next day.
He was rushed to hospital and was dis-charged the next day.
Cox, meanwhile, says he forgives his at-tackers.
Father Chris Townsend, of the SA CatholicBishops Conference, says he “admires Coxfor showing restraint and not sinking to theattackers’ level”.
Townsend adds: “Priests and other reli-gious figures are on the frontline becausethey are so involved in the community; andbecause they are in those positions, the com-munity should protect them as one of theirown.
“Religious figures do not form part of aspecial class, we have the same rights as anyother person and we deserve the same re-spect.”
The attack has brought into question the
safety of church workers, but, saysTownsend, “there is very little one can do,but be more cautious”.
Dale says ADT managers met with Cox onMonday 7 May, offering him free remote pan-ic buttons to the church.
Cox, who attended Rondebosch Boys’ HighSchool, was ordained into the priesthood in1992.
He was curate in Paarl for two years, fol-lowed by stints in Somerset West, Her-manus, Elsies River and Oudtshoorn.
After sixmonths in theUS,hewasappoint-ed parish priest in Wynberg. He was alsovice-rector and academic dean at the SaintFrancisXavierSeminary inCrawfordbeforegoing to Constantia.

The other side of the storySTEFNI HERBERT
THEY have complained about poor livingconditions, but “it’s their own doing”.
This is according to Uli Heydt whoslammed accusations of not maintaining thebuilding from which he used to run his butch-ery (“We live like squatters”, People’s Post, 17April).
Heydt says: “Initially, I was not going torent rooms, but allowed a church to rent theproperty behind the butchery and it all start-ed there.”
After Heydt decided to rent some space tothe church, the then pastor suggested roomsbe created and Heydt rent it to members ofthe church’s congregation.
“After that, everything deteriorated. Thosewho signed the lease had two or three peoplein a room, sometimes four or five, or more.
“There are people staying there who do nothave a lease and Moussala Empana is one ofthem,” says Heydt.
Heydt told People’s Post Empana is a bodybuilder, allegedly working as a bouncer, butis in South Africa illegally.
“He came in on a study visa, but he isn’tstudying. He is causing trouble with othertenants, because now people haven’t paidtheir rent for three months and that includesEmpana,” says Heydt.
It is alleged Empana urinates in the pas-sage and off the balcony, to which he shouldhave no access.
“Nobody is supposed to be on the balcony,
but they keep breaking the locks,” says Hey-dt.
Tenants are only allowed to cook in the pas-sage according to fire safety regulations, butHeydt says there are many illegal electricityconnections and he had to pay R25 000 to haveit fixed.
He adds the water had to be switched off fora while because of a 11cm pipe under a sink– which has a grid over it – getting blockedbecause the tenants continuously remove thegrid.
“When the water was off, tenants neverneeded to use water from the toilet, they hadto use water from the bathroom taps whichis the exact same water as in the sink tap.
People’s Post attempted to make contactwith Empana at the time of going to press. GOING ONCE: Heydt plans to sell the building.

Get ready for the new breed of electric busesTONY ROBINSON
ANYBODY old enough to remem-ber those wonderful silent trol-ley buses that used to operate incities like Cape Town and Johan-nesburg, will be delighted toknow that Optimal Energy plansto build a new breed of battery-powered electric buses in SouthAfrica.
The move comes after the deci-sion to abandon the Joule, a verypromising and attractive electriccar.
I’m afraid the odds were alwaysstacked against the Joule. Newmodels are expensive to build andlaunch because of developmentalcosts. Then they have to competewith mass-produced cars from es-
tablished manufactur-ers. It can be done onlywith a massive invest-ment and an expen-sive advertising cam-paign to overcome theprejudice and createdemand for the newvehicles.
Another South Afri-can, Elon Musk, facedexactly the same chal-lenge at his new homein California. Hechose to start smalland produce limitednumbers of a virtually hand-builtsports car, the Tesla Roadster. Theywould be expensive but would ap-peal to the wealthy.
He made a deal with Lotus in theUK to supply the bodies and suspen-
sion while he provid-ed the motors andthe lithium-ion bat-teries. The resultwas a sports car thathandled superblyand could silently ac-celerate from 0 to 100km/h in under fourseconds, to matchthe performance ofPorches and Ferra-ris. The price tagwas a bit over $100000 but they weresnapped up by Holly-
wood A-list stars like Mat Damon,George Clooney and other environ-mentally conscious Americans. Sofar more than 1 500 have been soldand a new sedan car and an SUV areon the way. They will sell at half the
price of the roadster and be capableof reaching 0 to 100 km/h in five sec-onds. The sports car has a range of200 old fashioned miles and the newcar will manage 300.
Both Mercedes and Toyota wereso impressed that they boughtshares in the company. (If you wantto know more check www.teslamo-tors.com)
The big problem with electriccars is that “petrolheads” don’t likeor understand them. They smell dif-ferent and they don’t roar. But,make no mistake, they are the carsof the future. Optimal Energy willhave a much easier time with bus-es. Firstly they are built in smallernumbers so the economies of scaleare not so important and highly au-tomated and expensive assemblylines should not be necessary.
But the most important differ-ence will be the marketing, no ex-pensive advertising campaign willbe necessary to sell the buses. Thebuyers will not be “petrolheads”with image and status problems butmanagers and accountants. Theywill look at the numbers – the carry-ing capacity, range and runningcosts.
And this is where electric vehi-cles do well. They don’t need regu-lar oil changes or servicing andthey are ideal for stop-start jour-neys. They don’t have motors idlingwhile they wait for traffic lights tochange. And there will be no needfor the overhead wires that limitedthe old trolley buses.
Operators and passengers willlove the new smooth, silent electricbuses.

Blooming blossomsI’ve had windflowers in the bed beside myfront door for years now. Don’t you lovetheir name – it dances in my mind thesame way the flowers dance in my gardenwhen they flower in September which isour windiest month.
I plant my anemones amongst Lamium ar-gentatum and Plectranthus ciliatius (verysuccessful, low-growing, lush ground cov-ers). Their backdrop is agapanthus (both A.praecox which grows to about 500 mm, andA. Africanus, the dwarf variety which reach-es just 300 mm) and Iris japonica (the crestediris which is Japanese in origin). To providecontrast with their huge, sleek leaves, I haveincluded a few Acanthus mollis (wild rhu-barb), right up under the roof eaves wherethey are best protected from the cold, andsome slim, leggy Nandina domestica (sacredbamboo) for height - they seem to grow justabout anywhere. A few meters away underthe trees beside my driveway I have repeatedsimilar plantings, combined with Rumohraadiantiformus, the popular indigenous Knys-na fern that is much-loved by florists.
Picture my spring garden: the ferns arelacy and a deep, glossy green. The lamium,with its faintly furry, variegated white andclear green leaves, is covered in spikes ofbuds, all ready to turn into butter-yellowbells. The aggies (backbone of countlessSouth African gardens) are just themselves:familiar, dependable strappy foliage infriendly clumps that will come into their ownat Christmas time. The irises are pretendingto be orchids with their springtime sprays offringed mauve flowers and their ribbed paleleaves. This combination is exquisite on itsown; a delicate blend of gorgeous, subtle tex-tures and colours but you should see it whenthe anemones are in flower: suddenly it’s Par-ty Time!
Anemones do not hold back; come springtime they let it all out in white, pink, mauve
and red, and hit the scene with verve and de-light. I stagger my planting at two week inter-vals so that I have flowers for longer in Sep-tember, and I’ve tried both the singles (DeCaen), which have six tissue paper thin petalsand the doubles (St Brigid) with ten to twelvepetals. I love the flowers’ neat, dark, buttonscentres and their frilly skirts with fluffy foli-age peeping out from underneath like greenpetticoats. Imagine being a bee and revellingin all that soft, velvety, golden or treacle-col-oured pollen...
The planting combination in my bedsworks very well because everything I havementioned, like the anemones, is happiestwith a good dose of morning sun but needsprotection from the heavy heat of the after-noon sun. Moreover, the plants are all com-fortable in moist but not soggy conditions –the soil drains adequately and is richly com-posted and conditioned after a winter undera layer of fallen leaves. I prefer to let naturehave her way in my beds and allow fallen au-tumn leaves to stay where they are for thecold months. Not only do I save on labour ina garden populated by
huge deciduous trees, but the leaves insu-late and slowly feed my soil, and they protecttender plants from frost.
My advice is to plant anemones generously– mass lots of bulbs together where they will
make a real statement. Their tendril-likestems are about 35 – 40 cm tall and their foli-age is happy planted in close proximity to oth-er plants so 10cm intervals betweenbulbswilldo fine. The pointy part of the tuber goesdownwards and, once covered with just about2 cm of soil, it is really important that itshould not be permitted to dry out.
So, fellow flower-lovers, you know what to
do in May – plant windflowers! I shall thinkof you as I do the same.

Save our seasMOST of our country is surrounded by theocean, making the coastline a precious re-source.
The shores provide us with pleasure, foodand income. Originally traversed by the in-digenous peoples – the Khoi and San – it hasbecome a vital revenue source.
Historically, our harbours offered a safe ha-ven and replenishing station for seafaring na-tions, including the Portuguese, English andDutch who plied the Spice Route.
Durban has one of the country’s busiestharbours.
Given the sea’s dwindling resources inmeeting international demand, the Japanesefishing trawler Eihatsu Maru, stranded atClifton’s First Beach, brings the ability toprotect our maritime border into question.
There has reportedly been no communi-ques between the SA harbour authorities andthe captain of the Japanese trawler. When themist cleared, the trawler was already strand-ed.
The NSRI is investigating how the trawlermissed the harbour to get trapped on a sand-bank about 35m offshore.
Two years ago, the ocean in the US’s GulfCoast was threatened when an explosion onthe Deepwater Horizon drilling rig killed 11men and gushed millions of tons of oil intothe Gulf of Mexico.
Attempts – and frequent failures – by BP tocontain the spill led to the unfolding of an en-vironmental disaster and a political spat. Thespill put the sea out of bounds for humans andanimals.
With 90 tons of fuel and ammonia and 50tons of tuna on board the Eihatsu Maru, ma-rine and coastal services have much to con-tend with.

Nothing fun about slave routeDO the organisers Itheko and People’s Posthave no shame to sponsor the Jive Slave RouteChallenge?
Are the memories of our forebears now be-ing remembered in a fun run and walk? Howdo you tell your children about slavery?
That it was a fun thing? Do you have theguts to do the same for June 16? I do not thinkso.
ANONYMOUSFarouk Meyer of Itheko responds:How incredibly sad that the author of the
SMS has tried to turn a hugely positive celebra-tion of everything the slaves endured and diedfor sowe couldbe free, intobitter recriminationsabout the past. How sad that the writer cannotrelate to the wonderful experience of walkingfreely and gazing at the wonder of the moun-tain, the beauty of the trees and the joy of bird-song of our Fairest Cape that was so cruelly de-
nied to our forebears. Itheko has been one of thedriving forces behind this event which cele-brates the freedom we now enjoy and which isa tribute to the sacrifices of all who have gonebefore us. We would, therefore, like to invite thewriter to join us on this trip which pauses ateach of the critical monuments to the history ofthe slaves and pray with us at each stage as weremember the massive contribution of the slavesto our heritage. And, as we do so together, maywe take time to reflect on the words of NelsonMandela, who said: “Never, never and neveragain shall it be that this beautiful land willexperience the oppression of one by another”.
People’s Post editor Feroza Miller-Isaacsresponds:
I fully echo Farouk Meyer’s views and reit-erate that our publication is proud to align it-self with this positive event. I hope the writerwill accept Meyer’s invitation.
Trains of thought. Where does Donald Grant live?
Some of those students have to get upa lot earlier than him to get to school.What time does he venture into his of-fice?
. All good and well for someone notusing public transport. Has he noticedthat it is still pitch dark at 6.45? Youwant our children to get up an hourearlier to do what – be attacked in thedark?
On the days they are early andtransported on time, what would thesuggestion be for them to hang aroundon stations or to be waiting in the darkoutside locked schools?
Are you going to provide security atstations and at schools? Then, per-haps, it will work well.
. I don’t think Metrorail shouldfight against the guy who lost his eyebecause of a stone thrown through anopen or broken window.
The train I catch is being thrown atall the time. Where should we hide ifthe trains are over full?
And not to mention poor service,and now the poor scholars have towake up an hour earlier. It is dark andcold and not all parents have cars.These children have to walk to the sta-tion. It is dark and dangerous outthere.
General. The DA sees to the needs of whites
and blacks only. Don’t expect col-oured votes. Let the ANC take theCape, it makes no difference.
. Do the wives and family membersof Eskom staff have the privilege ofdriving Eskom vehicles for privateuse? Please clarify. Taxpayer
. Electricity reply to your com-ment. Try living in Musgrave Park.We don’t even get 50 free units!
. I’m not a racist person, but amother of three children who justwant thebest for themthroughschool.It is hard due to the fact I can’t finda job.
I would love to get more education,but don’t have themoney for it. If Iwasa black woman I would have gottenmyeducation for free.Not fair, I’ve gotso much to give.
Your SMSes
I THINK it is extremely generous of Presi-dent Zuma to have a lot of criminals’ timeshortened and many of them released.
I just wonder what the mothers of rapedor murdered children feel and the sons ofmothers who have been beaten to death?How kind of Zuma to play God!
Or are there different reasons for his gen-erosity, like looking for votes to be re-elect-ed? God forbid.
I would have thought that a man with acriminal record, “allegedly”, would be morecircumspect of the law instead of playingjudge and jury. Every day is a new shock
treatment awaiting South Africans.While I sympathise with people in prison,
I am sure it is no walk in the park, but thenneither is rape, murder, drug trafficking,kidnapping and stealing people’s property.
They should build bigger prisons to pro-tect people on the outside. If the government
could stop its employees from stealing,there would be enough money for properprisons and prison care with proper prisonguards.
It all boils down to the dishonesty of pub-lic servants.RALPH KRALL
Are prisoners being released to desperately garner votes?

My mother my hero: readers respondMy mother my hero: readers respond
My mother was my best friendI READ your article about yourmom and was really touched. I lostmy own mom a few years ago.
Unfortunately I was not living inSouth Africa at the time, but shewas my best friend as well.
Your mom sounds like an amaz-ing lady with a real zest for life.
I have always been interested inalternative medicines and haveread extensively on the subject.
I just wondered if you have
looked at the Rene Caisse HerbalTea.
I tried finding it here in SA, butfound there were added ingredientsto the original recipe.
If it is something you would liketo look into, there is a non-profit or-ganisation in the UK that wouldsupply the original herbs whichmake up the tea.
Hope this helps.RAYMOND H DAVIDS
Bike for hopeI read your column and it reallymoved me. I am a breast cancer sur-vivor (2000 and again 2010) and Iknow the fear and pain involved inthe cancer spreading.
Together with 18 other women(all breast cancer survivors) I amdoing a motorbike trip called theJourney of Hope in October. Weride for a week, stopping at disad-vantaged communities and teach-ing them about early detection andhow to do self-examination.
We also raise funds for people
who can’t afford treatment andprostheses. I did it last year (I hadto learn to ride a 1 000cc motorbikefor it) and have decided to do itagain this year.
Last year I dedicated my ride toone of my best friends for her brav-ery. She did not survive breast can-cer. She sounds a lot like your mom.
Iwould like todedicate this year’sride to your mom’s spirit and brav-ery in the face of breast cancer. Itwill be a great privilege and hon-our.Youmayvisit thewebsite Jour-neyofhope to see what it is all about.KATHY MALHERBERondebosch
Your mom is remarkableThank you so much for sharingabout your mom (My mother, myhero”, ConnectEd, People’s PostTuesday 8 May). Just yesterday I re-ceived a prayer request from some-one whose mom was diagnosedwith breast cancer. I myself am amother and grandma. I can’t imag-ine the pain your mom must be en-
during and I agree your mom is aremarkable woman of faith. I willpray for your mom. Love your col-umn and shake off those who misin-terpreted your comparisons withEaster (“The joy of being connect-ed”, ConnectEd, People’s Post, Tues-day 10 April). I think it was good.JENNY
Celebrate lifeI AM the mother of a son who, on3 May 1983, died of cancer of thebrain at 18 years old. He developedcancer of the glands (Lympathiclymphoma) when he was 11.
He had invasive treatment for awhile and was in remission until hewas 18. In December 1982 he col-lapsed and was diagnosed withbrain cancer – unrelated to the pre-
vious bout. He had five brain opera-tions in five months, but eventuallydied the following May. He was aninspiration to all with his courage,attitudeandbehaviour – always fullof fun. We celebrated his life on Fa-cebook a few days ago. You andyour family will be in my prayersfor your walk in your mother’s tri-als and needs. We have much tothank God for in giving us these ex-amples in our lives. God bless you.MAGGIE JAMES
Special focuson cancerI REALLY enjoyed reading the col-umn in People’s Post (“My mother,my hero”, Tuesday 8 May). I can ful-ly understand what you are goingthrough as I also lost my sister tocancer seven years ago.
The article highlights the chal-lenges families face when someoneis suffering from cancer.
This was one of the main reasonsI decided to join a ministry group,called St Francis Fire Flies. Ouraim is to train people to counsel sur-vivors of cancer as well as familymembers.
We also actively raise funds forthe Cancer Association.
I just want to thank you for high-lighting this disease as this countryseems to be more focused on HIV/Aids.NIGEL MAART
More than just a CuppaI AM one of those people who be-lieve in things happening for a rea-son.
I have just finished reading yourarticle in People’s Post and have tocompliment you on the deep loveand understanding you are show-ing your mother.
I would like to invite you to ourCuppa for Cansa fundraiser at AbsaPinelands.
The branch and staff sponsor thecoffee, tea and cake for R20.
All funds raised will be donatedto the Hospice Palliative Care Asso-ciation (HPCA).
The HPCA advocacy officer, EricWatlington, was featured in an arti-cle in People’s Post (“Can you laceup for cancer?”, Tuesday 31 Janu-ary) around the same time I wasplanning my second Cuppa for Can-sa event.
On contacting him, he was excit-ed to participate in the event and weraised double the amount of money
we raised the first time.The most awesome part of the day
is interacting with people who haveor who know someone who has thedisease.
Cancer affects every one of us –whether we like it or not.
People’s Post played a part in es-tablishing the relationship betweenAbsa Pinelands and the HPCA andI would be very honoured if youwould joinme inhavinga cupof cof-fee and a slice of cake in honour ofyour mother and everyone battlingthis terrible disease.ANA DE SOUSAAbsa Pinelands Branch Manager
Thank you for inviting me to theCuppa for Cancer last week, whichregrettably, I was unable to attend. Iwish you all the best in continuingyour good work and commend youand Absa for creating awarenessand assisting in raising funds for thecare of those living with cancer. -Editor
Plan toslash Cityphone billsTHE City has cut out the middle man– Telkom – through more efficient useof technology.
Telephone bills at the City is expect-ed to shrink considerably. In a driveto be more cost-effective, many of mu-nicipal buildings are now routed viathe City’s broad-band network in-stead. This means calls between thesebuildings – which includes the CapeTown Civic Centre and Wale Streetcomplexes – can be done at not cost tothe City. Mayoral Committee Mem-ber for Corporate Services, DemetriQually says phone calls between thesebuildings are now carried by the cor-porate data network using the City’sfibre optic cables.
“Previously calls between City staffincurred a cost for being carried byTelkom, but now we have our ownhigh-speed network and can carrythese calls ourselves. Thenetworkhasno call-length costs, so staff can callone another as regularly and for aslong as necessary.”
Calls to phones outside of the City’snetwork are also cheaper. “We nowroute calls to the network of the recipi-ent, rather than all through Telkom.”
He says this eliminates network in-ter-connect charges, and allows theCity to get “competitive tender ratesfrom the various telephone compa-nies”. Besides reduced costs, phonecalls and conferencing are now muchmore cost-effective as they limit theneed for travel.
Telephone numbers can also bemoved between these buildings, al-lowing staff to retain numbers.
Additional municipal buildings willbe added to the internal telephone net-work in the coming months, and 200more buildings will benefit from thisinitiative over the next three years.

Still running marathons at the grand age of 79LIAM MOSES
FISH HOEK resident EdwardMurdoch believes he haswalked more than a million kil-ometres in his life.
On Sunday 27 May he will addanother 21,1 to his tally when hetakes part in the Jive Slave RouteChallenge half marathon.
Murdoch will compete in therace for the first time this year,and at 79 he will be the oldest com-petitor in any of the events whichform part of the Challenge.
The determined Scot, who im-migrated to South Africa with hiswife in 1997, is a regular road racecompetitor and has collected closeto 100 medals since he started par-ticipating in the sport again in hisearly 40s.Murdoch says the secretto his success in road races, andthe reason why he is still able tocompete at such an advanced age,are his natural talent, healthy life-style and competitive nature.
“I haven’t driven a car since Iwas 21, so therefore I have proba-bly walked over a million miles inmy life. I have very strong legs. “Iam a determined bloke. I trainwell, I eat sensibly and when Icome into a race and get to thestart, I say I’m here, it’s mental,I’m here, that’s where I’ll be.”
Before moving to Fish Hoek,Murdoch lived in Plumstead andWynberg and he says he has al-ways loved South Africa.
He currently lives a busy and ac-
tive life, filling his days with gar-dening, cooking, bowls, snookerand ballroom dancing, his otherfavourite sport.
In his youth, Murdoch won sev-eral major ballroom dancing com-petitions in Britain and Europe.He no longer competes, but says
that regular practice helps him tostay fit and strong.
“My other advantage is that I’vebeenaballroomdancer since Iwas
10 years old, and I was second inthe world when I was 30,” saysMurdoch. “Over here I use it forthe fact that I don’t need to go toa gym because when I’m dancingI’m using every muscle in mybody.”
Since returning to athleticswhen he was middle-aged, Murdo-ch stuck mainly to middle andlong distance running, but in hisyouth his event of choice was the100 metre sprint.
Less than two years ago he wentback to his childhood sport whenhe competed in the 100metre eventat the Western Province masterathletics championships and fin-ished third in 16,4 seconds.
Murdoch admits that he has al-ways struggled to say no to a chal-lenge, so it makes sense that hecould not resist entering one of theunique road race challenges inSouth Africa.
“If somebody challenges me todo something, I’ll have a go. ButI’m not daft, I won’t go into dan-ger,” says Murdoch.

Try festivalat UCT andSKW gameLIAM MOSES
UCT claimed a hard-foughtvictory over Schotschekloof
Walmers (SKW) after a try-filledSuper League A match at GrooteSchuur on Saturday evening.
SKW boasted at least three play-ers who represented Western Prov-ince in their starting line-up, butthe likes of loose-forward YayaHartzenberg and wingers ZahierRyland and Ghafoer Luckan wereunable to see them to victory.
The hosts outscored their oppo-nents by six tries to three to win thegame 36-28, but the margin of victo-ry could have been far greater hadthe Ikeys’ goal kickers been onform.
UCT dominated the match fromvirtually the first whistle and theyopened the scoring as early as thefourth minute when NicholasHolten slotted a simple penalty.
However, Holten’s kick would beone of only two successful attemptsin ten, as composure seemed todesert the flyhalf and his fellowUCT kickers, fullback Ross Jones-Davies and left wing Paul Cohen.
Ikeys squandered 21 points frommissed penalties and conversionkicks. The home team scored thefirst two of their three first halftries through Holten in the seventhminute and Cohen in the 20th, be-fore SKW responded with two con-verted tries of their own from Ry-land and outside centre WinstonWilliams in the 28th and 35th min-utes.
This came during a period of
dominance from SKW, but UCT hadthe last say in the first stanza withanother try from Cohen.
The visitors started the secondhalf on a positive note with a penal-ty in the first minute, but any hopeof resuming their attempt at a fight-back were squashed four minuteslater when Jones-Davies crossedthe whitewash for UCT’s fourth try.
Just when SKW seemed out of thegame, they rallied to score a trythrough Luckan and two penaltiesthrough fullback Adnaan Osman toclaim the lead for the first time.
However, the leadwas short-livedand two tries from UCT outside cen-tre Damian de Allende, in the 66thand 73rd minutes, put the match tobed.
In the end SKW’s inconsistentscrums, shaky line-outs, poor deci-sion making and ill discipline wereto blame for the loss, and UCT’s fe-rocity at the breakdown, patiencein the attacking third and compo-sure with ball in hand gave themthe victory.
Zain Daniels, head coach at SKW,said thathis side’s failure in severalfundamental aspects of the gamewas the reason for their loss.
“Obviously we made simple er-rors, like tackling errors, verybasicstuff. The discipline was bad. Onthree occasions we were down tofourteen men. That cost us,” saidDaniels.
“I just felt that our game wasn’tstrong enough, taking it to them.The scrums were steady, the line-outs were steady. Although we losta vital ball, I really think it wassteady. We weren’t really competi-
tive as far the set pieces were con-cerned, but it was the first timetackling that let us down mainly.”
UCT will play False Bay in theirnext match on Friday evening,while SKW have a far more difficulttask in travelling to Stellenbosch to
face the Maties tomorrow evening.Daniels added that he was posi-
tive of his team’s chances againstthe Varsity Cup finalists, despitethe poor result against UCT.
“We cannot do worse than this.It’s always tough in Stellenbosch,
you cannot go there to lose. Youmust hold your head up high and gothere to win. There’s always achance. Although it’s difficult withthe side we got, barring injury, weshould be competitive against anyteam in this league.”
