part in the selection process to choosewhichrecognisable city hotspotswill appear on thefinal board, to be on shelves in November.Monopoly representative Dan Taylor says

several boardgames have been created forcities such as Sydney and Ibiza.“It’s my job to create a game that the peo-

ple of Cape Town will be proud of and playwith their families formany years,” he says.Cape Town Tourism spokesperson Nicole

the board, such as TableMountain, the V&AWaterfront, Kirstenbosch and Groot Con-stantia.“Although the game will be predominant-

ly sold and distributed in Cape Town, we’rehoping Capetonians will get excited andstart sharing it with friends and familiesaround the world,” she says.This process will run for the next three

Strong familiesprotect childrenWith the hope of entrenching a culture

of action and accountability for chil-dren’s rights and protection, SOS Chil-dren’s Villages are drawing attention to theplight of 11.4m South African children whoare living in extreme conditions of poverty,abuse and neglect.Child Protection Week was celebrated

last week.For over 30 years, SOS Children’s Villa-

ges has been providing homes for aban-doned and orphaned children in SouthAfri-ca and implementing family-strengtheningprogrammes within impoverished commu-nities to ensure children don’t fall fromtheir family safety net in the first place.

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”.“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. Moremi says that unfor-tunately the demand for this care in SouthAfrica massively surpasses the supply, andthe organisation realises that urgent inter-vention isneeded to strengthen familyunitswithin the community in order to care fortheir children.“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.“Removing a child from parental or fami-

ly care should be a last resort when it isclear that the child may be in danger, andwhere there is no hope of remediation atthat time. Our aim is to keep family unitstogether within their communities wherethis 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.

New homes not rain-proofNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Residents in the stonemasonry homes inOcean View felt the effects of recent

heavy rains more than other residents.City officials and a disaster risk manage-

ment team were called in to help residentswhose homes flooded last week.

Chairperson of the beneficiary commit-tee Piet Present says a number of homeswere affected.

“The water was at ankle height, runningthrough the one house,” he says.

“I was worried that the electrical applian-ces and the water would mix, but fortunate-ly the homeowner had unplugged all ofthem.”

Pensioner Margaret Brooks was leftsweeping water out of her home after itflooded.

“The carpets are wet and my furniturewas standing in water because I can’t moveit outside where it’s raining,” she says.

She has only been in the house for ninemonths and says she has notified the Cityof mild flooding outside her home in thepast.

However, the recent deluge exacerbatedthe problem.

“We were left standing there with broomstrying to get the water out. Putting downnewspaper didn’t help. I had to call my cous-in to come help us sweep!” she says.

Benedicta van Minnen, mayoral commit-tee member for human settlements, saysthere were two reported cases of flooding.

“A temporary structure, which was builton an adjacent property, prevented thestormwater from draining, resulting in aflooding situation. A stormwater pipe hasbeen installed under the temporary struc-ture to prevent any future flooding in themeantime. However, all illegal structuresbuilt in the development will be issued withnotices to remove the structures,” she says.

The problem lies in the design of the clus-ter homes, Present says.

Two houses are positioned back-to-backand separated by a small courtyard. Thiscourtyard has no cover or drainage and aft-er extended rains, the water collected in thecourtyard floods the surrounding houses.

“The water stands in the yard and can’tdrain away. It ends up running into thehomes,” he says.

Two weeks ago, the housing projectreached its halfway mark, with 275 houseshanded over to qualifying beneficiaries.The first beneficiaries moved into theirhomes in April last year and the remaining199 houses of the project are estimated tobe completed by March next year.

This brings the total number of houses to543, at a cost of R46m for the project.

The project uses Table Mountain sand-stone excavated from the site to build af-fordable and resource-efficient homes for

the beneficiaries. The houses also blend inwith the surrounding natural environmentand the sandstone provides good insula-tion.

Present says urgent action needs to betaken to install drainage.

“This is only the start of winter. What willhappen in the future?”

Left: Community membersbelieve a lack of drainage in thecourtyards between houses ledto the flooding.

Right: City officials were calledin to pump water out of someof the Ocean View homes.

Over half of the stonemasonryhomes in Ocean View have beenhanded over to beneficiaries. Butthe recent heavy rains have leftsome of those houses flooded,residents say.

Noordhoek gets visionNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

The Noordhoek Ratepayers’ Associationwants to develop a new vision for thesuburb. They are calling on residents toadd their voices.

A shared vision will be createdthrough a public process, aimed to cre-ate an even more inclusive organisation,says chairperson Brad Bing.

The Association was formed late lastyear, following the disbanding of a con-servancy which previously operated inthe area and nine months of engagementwith various roleplayers, spokespersonLynn Brown says.

“The Ratepayers’ Association focuseson a number of issues, including civicand environmental. The conservancywas an agreement between neighboursto manage the environment,” she ex-plains.

A range of bodies are represented onthe association, explains Bing, includingthose with interests in horses, the com-mon, security and businesses.

“Everyone used to work in isolation.We’ve now brought everyone under oneumbrella to create an inclusive body,” hesays.

The organisation has already been in-volved in a number of planning applica-tions and decision-making around thecommon, and has met with affected par-ties to try to amicably resolve illegaldumping on a private property onNoordhoek Main Road, Brown says.

The Association’s next step is to createa vision, which it wants the communityto share in. “It’s in the pipeline. We justneed funding,” Brown says.

The organisation hopes to raiseR50 000 through donations and fundrai-sing events to hire a professional con-sultant to oversee the project.

“In order to establish a vision, we needthe collective input from residents,”Brown says.V The Association is also calling for new memberswithin the municipal boundary of Noordhoek. Anyresidents may join the Association, but only prop­erty owners have voting rights. For more informa­tion email [email protected].

The Shark Spotters have thrown open thedoors of their new home, inviting the

public to come learnmoreabout theirwork.After working from huts at the Muizen-berg beach, the organisation moved intoone of the buildings at the beach in Novem-ber.“We needed a base,” says project manag-er Sarah Waries. “We didn’t have a placewhere people could see the programme.”SharkSpotting is apioneering shark safe-ty programme that seeks a solution for po-tential conflicts between sharks andpeople.Adopted by the City of Cape Town in 2004in response to a spate of shark bite inci-dents and increased shark sightings, SharkSpotting is the primary shark safety pro-gramme used in Cape Town.The Shark Spotters improve beach safetythrough both sharkwarnings and emergen-cy assistance in the event of a shark inci-dent. They contribute to research on sharkecology and behaviour, raise public aware-ness and provide employment opportuni-ties and skills development for the spotters.

Not only does the building provide officespace, but the Shark Spotters also run aninformation centre from the buildingwhere they teach beachgoers about sharks,ocean conservation and sea safety, Wariessays.“This also allows people to interact withthe spotters,” she says.The organisation is finishing muralsalong the centre’swalls, whichwill have in-fographics added to them, breaking downdetails on the Shark Spotters’ research andwork. These will run on both the inside andoutside of the building, Waries says.Interactive displays will also be added,which will allow the public to see tools ofthe trade, such as the tags used to identifyand track sharks.The new building has allowed the SharkSpotters to expand their capacity, saysWar-ies. They are now able to accept interns andtrain shark spotters, as well as engage withthe 30 spotters working on the project.“It’s been ahuge boost for the programmeon a number of levels. The Shark Spottershave a home now.”V Visit the information centre at Surfers Corner onBeach Road or www.sharkspotters.org.za.

The SharkSpotters arein theprocess ofturning theirnew home atSurfersCorner intoan informa­tion centre.

Highlights of amendments

• 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.

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 inregattas at Simon’s Town and built and

slept 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 stuff

that awaits you when you become a

Scout. My life changed and became anadventure. For all those who think theyare up for the scouting adventure, join.My troop is 1st Fish Hoek Sea Scouts

and we meet on Friday nights at ourhall on Lower Recreation Road. TheCubs, aged eight to 11, meet at 17:30 andScouts, aged 11 to 18, meet at 19:30.To join, contact our group scouter

Mike Miles by emailing him at [email protected] you up for a life of challenge and

adventure?KRIS VAN DER BIJL,

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!
